District allows opt out Parents expressed concern with inBloom By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com After an outcry from parents, Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson announced last week that the district will allow students to opt out of a classroom data system that the district is expected to pilot next year. The move by Stevenson is a nod to criticism from parents who have called on the district to allow them to choose whether they allow their children’s data to be used in a soon-to-be-created “virtual data dashboard” — which would be capable of holding students’ personal information and academic records. Stevenson informed parents of the optout decision in a recent district newsletter. “We have listened carefully to the concerns of some of our parents who believe the dashboard is not the right choice for their child,” Stevenson wrote in the district’s “Chalk Talk” newsletter. “Because we’re committed to creating a win-win situation for all of our students and their families, as well as our teachers, we are working to create an opt-out provision for all parents who feel the tools we are developing don’t meet their family’s needs.” The classroom dashboard is being touted by supporters as a way for teachers to better personalize instruction through a “one-stop shopping” database. But opponents fear that the system could compromise student privacy and security. And they have been especially critical of the role of the company that will be storing student data for the district — the Georgia-based non-profit inBloom. inBloom is a $100 million entity that is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation that provides data gathering technology to classroom dashboards Right now, only three states are either currently partnering with inBloom or will be doing so in the near future: New York, Illinois and Colorado. However, other states have backed away from plans to implement inBloom-backed dashboards, after hearing protests from community members. Jefferson County, the state’s largest school district, is the only district in Colorado that is scheduled to pilot the system, which is expected to happen next year. The district will not be charged for the system until 2015, when it will cost the district $2$5 a student for continued operation. The technology is capable of holding thousands of data points on students, including academic information like reading and math scores. But it can also hold personal data, such as a student’s health information or disciplinary records. The district insists that the dashboard — which will be provided by a separate software company called LoudCloud — will inBloom continues on Page 20

First Books and Bites event celebrates local authors By Clarke Reader

isitors to the Arvada Library had a chance to more than just check out books at the first Books and Bites event. The Sept. 21 event feature more than 30 local artists at the library, 7525 W. 57th Ave., who were signing books and talking to readers about their works, how they became writers and giving advice for aspiring authors. Scrumptious also had a food truck for readers who wanted a bite for dinner. “The overall mission of Jeffco libraries is to support literature and reading,” said Pennie Howard Burris, Jeffco libraries’ programming and partnerships coordinator. “We’re always looking for ways to connect local authors to readers, and we thought it would be more exciting with food trucks involved.” The event was set up like a book fair, with three separate rooms of authors: one room for children and teen authors, one for adults, and in the main room a mix of authors. Visitors were able to visit any author they liked, chat with them about their works and get their books signed. Burris said that local authors were excited about the event, and the libraries have a history of working with local authors to bring their works to the attention of readers.

Local children’s author Patricia Ann Reid speaks with a visitor at the Arvada Library’s first Books and Bites event on Sept. 20. More than 20 local authors were on hand to talk to readers and sign books. “It’s a great chance for readers to meet authors, and get to know someone new,” she said. That chance to meet and connect with people was a large motivator for authors to participate as well. “I’m a big supporter of libraries — these are all people who love books,” said local mystery writer Manuel Ramos. “It’s

always a good thing when authors and readers can come together.” Ramos added he enjoys these types of events because he gets a chance to meet new authors as well. Burris said that if the event goes well, the libraries will consider hosting it again. For more information on Jeffco libraries, visit www.jeffcolibrary.org.

City surveys damage left by heavy rains H Progress made, will take months to fully complete By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com The City of Arvada has started to release information about the damage sustained during the recent flooding that wreaked so much havoc on the state. Communications Manager Wendy Forbes said the time frames for repairs and true dollar estimate are still not available. She added that this is an ever-changing landscape for the city as crews are out there trying to repair and get things back to normal. In the area of parks and golf courses, around six bridges suffered severe damage to total loss: two bridges at the most western end of the trail north of ArvadaBlunn Reservoir were washed out, bridges at Mapleleaf Park, Ralston Cove Park, Apple Meadows Park and at the 8th hole at West Woods Golf Club were severely damaged. Bridges are being assessed as waters so this number in expected to increase. There was extensive damage along the soft surface trail system, and it will be a number of months before all repairs are completed. Significant damage to all 109 bunkers at West Woods Golf Course also occurred, in many instances all of the sand completely washed out. Restoration work has already

begun and it will take months to restore them. Ralston Creek was hit particularly hard, according to the information. Flood waters undermined the banks of the creek resulting in five trees lost at Memorial Park, at least three trees in Ralston Cove Park, three irrigation controllers (approximately $3,500 each) at West Woods were covered by flood waters, the bathroom on the 14th Hole at West Woods was full of three feet of water. Much of the ditch bank along hole 17 was eroded away, leaving the cart path suspended above a new chasm. All practice and game fields for turf sports were closed on Sept. 11 and were reopened on Sept. 18 to a full schedule. When West Woods re-opened on Sept. 18 it was in a limited, 9-hole format and on Sept. 20 another nine holes opened. The available holes are all from the Silo and Sleeping Indian courses. The Cottonwood course suffered the most damaged. The information estimates a revenue loss of $150,000 at the course, including the cancellation of the course’s largest grossing tournament. All of the city’s construction projects were suspended by the flood. Ralston Central Park lost much of the newly installed irrigation laterals. In the public works department, damage to streets was and continues to be a major concern. Quaker St. at Leyden Creek was repaired

Leyden Road between the entrance to Leyden Rock and Highway 93 was closed due to landslides and debris. City crews made temporary repairs, and it is open to traffic. Additional needed repairs will occur over time. Arvada staff is working with CODT on replacement of the drainage pipes under Indiana Street and street repairs. Realistically, it may be two weeks before Indiana Street can be reopened. About 1,700 tons of rip rap material has been placed on slopes, helping to stabilize culverts around the city. Crews removed debris from bridge abutments on Ralston Creek, Little Dry Creek and Leyden Creek, and they are currently working on the debris from foot bridges and trails throughout the park system. The Croke Canal was breached, overtopped, and compromised at many locations. Known breaches occurred at Leyden Creek, Van Bibber Creek, and Moon Gulch. Staff is in contact with the canal company. No time estimate has been given about those repairs. Homes along Leyden Creek upstream and downstream of Alkire St. in unincorporated Jefferson County and inside the City of Arvada received damage. Staff is just beginning to look at possible solutions. City facilities — particularly City Hall, City Hall Annex, the Arvada Center and Indiana Shops had some minor roof leaks, with little damage to the structures. The sediment in both Arvada and Ralston Reservoirs is slowly settling out, according to information provided The Ralston Water Treatment Plant (WTP) can now treat 15 million gallons per day (MGD); capacity continues to improve as the sediment drops out of the reservoir water. The Arvada WTP is on-line and can produce 6 MGD. The city has a combined capacity of around 20 MGD. Customer water demand is presently at 10 MGD. Residents will have noticed a taste in the water, the issue with the drinking water is slowly improving. The taste issue will likely linger until the end of the month. The city has been dealing with several water pipeline problems, including at Quaker and Leyden Road, at the Arvada Reservoir and Indiana St., but more are repaired or nearly finished. The city is dealing with some issues in the wastewater sewage area. The Ralston collection and transmission

awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com The worst may be over as the state dries out and warms up. But while the calming weather brings relief to the state, many Colorado residents — including those in Coal Creek Canyon — face the aftermath of a devastating rainfall that severed homes from driveways and left Highway 72’s asphalt looking like an incomplete jigsaw puzzle. Jeffco Sheriff’s Office posted flood updates Sept. 17 on its Facebook page, assessing county damage at about $6 million. Approximate structural damages include 14 residences destroyed, 215 damaged and 5,805 threatened. Around 27 commercial properties have been damaged, with 24 threatened. Numbers are higher for minor structural damage. The Colorado Department of Transportation was in the canyon, northwest of Golden, on Sept. 17, fixing a culvert break which caused severe flooding on one area of Highway 72 making the road impassable. Efforts continue to relocate residents from Coal Creek Canyon, especially after exposed gas lines were discovered. Most residents have been without running water and electricity for days. So far, rescue teams have saved three families from Coal Creek. “I think we’ll see more and more of that in the days to come,” Mark Techmeyer, public information officer for the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office said, adding that some families have chosen to stay behind.

Dropping Membership Points to Steady Decline for Realtor Associations

By JIM SMITH, Realtor® A couple weeks ago, I wrote about the importance of using a Realtor — that is, a member of a Realtor association — instead of an agent who is not a Realtor. In researching that story, I was shocked to discover exactly how many agents have quit their Realtor association, primarily to save the $500 in annual dues. According to Metrolist, which is Denver’s MLS, over 20% of MLS members are non-Realtors, and the number is growing every year. Three metro area Realtor associations merged a couple years ago to fight the problem of growing expense and shrinking membership. The new organization is called the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. The other metro area Realtor associations are the South Metro Denver Realtor Association, the Aurora Association of Realtors, the Douglas-Elbert Realtor Association, the Boulder Area Realtor Association and the Mountain Metro Association of Realtors.

By joining any of these local Realtor associations, an agent also becomes a member of the Colorado Association of Realtors (CAR), and the National Association of Realtors (NAR), which in turn are losing members at a fast pace, making one wonder whether NAR, CAR and the local associations are ultimately going to disappear. Consider what we would lose if there were no Realtor associations. First, recognize that real estate is essentially a lonely business. There are a few “teams” out there, but for the most part every agent is a sole practitioner. We set our own hours, work primarily at home, and have little opportunity to mingle with and learn from others in the same industry — that is, except for the Realtor associations, which provide marketing sessions, conventions, continuing education classes and trade shows, not to mention email newsletters, blogs, calls to action, and the highly informative Realtor magazine.

Wetlands help mitigate flood danger Two Ponds Refuge example of nature helping people By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com

23 Community papers and websites. 400,000 readers. .com

After the historic flooding that Colorado recently experienced, many people will be looking at ways to mitigate such occurrences in the future. There will be many humanmade options, but a more natural one is the protection of wetlands, like the Two Ponds National Wildlife Refuge in Arvada. The 72-acre refuge, located near the southeast corner of 80th Ave. and Kipling, consists of uplands, lowlands and three wetlands, while being completely surrounded by homes and urban development. According to Seth Beres, the Refuge Manager, while many other areas throughout the Denver Metro area and beyond may have suffered flooding damages during the recent rains, Two Ponds actually thrived. “We experienced drought conditions at times during this summer, but these rains brought us back to where we should be,” Beres said. “And without these wetlands to help absorb the excess water, the surrounding areas nearby would likely have seen more flooding. Wetlands have so many benefits people do not realize.” What makes wetlands so perfect for flood mitigation is that the properties of wetlands are, by nature, spongy soils that absorb water and use it to grow plants and sustain wildlife. The soil also acts a filtration system, so all the sediment, including

Photo by Clarke Reader impurities and toxins in the slow moving water sink to the bottom and cleaner water emerges. Beres said that for many years wetlands nation-wide were being drained and developers were filling them in and then building on them. It has really only been in more recent years that the importance and impact of wetlands has been recognized, and they have become encouraged and protected. “Two Ponds is a great example

of good decision making and stewardship of the earth, and it really worked to everyone’s benefit in this case,” said Joyce Persson, a member of the Two Ponds Preservation Foundation. Persson was a member of the original group that fought to stop the area from being developed in 1990, and contacted the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to make it a Refuge in 1992. “It’s a great place to make a con-

r Two vie for District 2 school board seats Police search for Race offers policy choice to voters By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com

An open seat on the Jefferson County school board has drawn two candidates who each want what’s best for area students, but who differ on major policy issues. This fall, Jeff Lamontagne of Lakewood and John Newkirk of Conifer will square off in a District 2 Board of Education race. The two are seeking to fill the seat being vacated by current District 2 board director Laura Boggs, who is not running for re-election. Jeffco’s school District 2 includes the candidates’ places of residence, as well as Evergreen and parts of Golden. Both candidates have spent the last several years working on issues that affect young people. Lamontagne co-founded the Second Wind Foundation, an organization that provides counseling services for children who are at-risk for suicide. The foundation was started in 2002, after four Green Mountain High School students took their own lives just weeks apart. Lamontagne — who is an executive director for the Bluff Lake Nature Center, a wildlife and science center in Denver — has also served on the board for the Jefferson Foundation, a nonprofit that secures financial support for the district. And he’s curunityrently a member of Jeffco’s Strategic, Planaffectning and Advisory Council. Lamontagne’s wife is a Jeffco teacher, s areand he has two children who attend Jeffco andschools. rams “It’s really safe to say that my family life, wantmy work life and my volunteer life is about wet-Jeffco schools,” Lamontagne said. “I’m runt andning because I feel it’s the best way I can serve my community.” Two Newkirk is a product of the Jeffco school fuge/system, having grown up here and graduorg. ated from Evergreen High School. Through his membership with the Conifer Kiwanis Club, Newkirk works with

third-grade children to better their reading skills. He’s also done faith-based volunteer work, as a youth facilitator. Newkirk, who has worked in the medical technology field for most of his adult life, has three children of his own, who also attend Jeffco schools. “The board should reflect the diversity of the county,” Newkirk said. “I went to Jeffco schools, and Jeffco would be well-served by me being on the board of education.”

Differences in areas of policy

The two candidates differ in key areas of education policy — one of them being the school district’s expected piloting of a controversial student database backed by the Georgia-based nonprofit, inBloom. Proponents of the system say inBloom will allow teachers to better personalize instruction through an all-in-one database. But opponents fear for students’ privacy and security, due to the extent of information the dashboard is capable of storing. Newkirk is skeptical of the system. “I’m not against an idea of a dashboard in the classroom,” he said. “But I’m very nervous about gathering data and putting it on a national database, where we can’t know where the information is going.” Lamontagne said it’s important to listen to teachers who are supportive of inBloom, but also said that questions need to be answered before he is able to fully support its implementation, specifically those having to do with what kinds of student data is being gathered. “If we have teachers saying this will be a helpful tool, we need to ensure they have

that tool,” he said. “That being said, there are a whole host of issues. I would not sign off on the contract unless a number of guarantees were met.” The two also have different opinions of Amendment 66 — the November ballot question that seeks $950 million in new taxes that will fund an overhaul of the state’s school finance system. The money will implement recent state legislation that creates full-day kindergarten, provides more resources for at-risk students and English language learners, and creates a new school-funding formula. Newkirk believes that Jeffco taxpayers will be paying more into the school finance system than other counties, while getting less in return. He also fears that students and teachers here may end up moving to neighboring counties that might get more funding than Jeffco. “I fully support full funding of a school system, but this is a bad idea,” Newkirk said. Lamontagne said he will vote for Amendment 66, because he feels the state as a whole will benefit from the new funding formula. However, he “has some concerns as a Jeffco parent and board member (candidate).” “I am a little unclear on the extent of benefits that will come to Jeffco schools, relative to other school districts,” he said. “There are some variables to be settled there.” Both candidates recognize that the board will be dealing with new student standard mandates, either at the state or federal level, as well as new processes by which teachers are evaluated, and district budgetary issues. Each candidate believes he is the best man in the race to deal with those issues, head-on. “I consider myself balanced and constructive,” Lamontagne said. “I get things done.” Newkirk believes his temperament will be a positive addition to the board. “I have an ability to get along with a wide variety of people,” he said. “If we don’t see eye to eye, at end of the day, we’re all there to make the school district as great as it can be.”

opinions / yours and ours

Time for a new turn of phrase The Jeffco Schools school board line-up will be decidedly different following the results of the next election. As we reported earlier this month, two of the board’s incumbents — Paula Noonan and Laura Boggs — have chosen not to run. And a third incumbent Robin Johnson will not be running due to relocation outside the district. So board members Lesley Dahlkemper and Jill Fellman — each who are in the middle of first-terms — will be joined by three newcomers. Glad to say Dahlkemper and Fellman exhibit the type of solid leadership needed for this sea change, and the district itself stands sound. Jeffco is the largest school district in the state; it tallies test scores higher than state average and has an impressive number of option and charter schools in its boundaries — providing plenty of options for its

our view district’s students. Further, voters gave the district a vote of confidence approving a bond issue and mill-levy override in 2012. Unfortunately some board interactions haven’t exceeded any standards in our gradebook, and have in fact been at times distracting and disappointing. Who can forget that board member Laura Boggs was censured twice?

Do you back federal flood help? We asked people attending the Celtic Festival in Edgewater last weekend: With storm and flood damage across Colorado estimated at more than $2 billion, should the federal government help cover the bill? To what extent?

“Absolutely, as much as we possibly can.” Pat McKenna Lakewood

“Yes, comparable to other disasters in other states.” Betty Jo Page, Wheat Ridge

“They should. That’s what we pay for with taxes. My question is where the money is going to.” Carol Warren Aurora

“It’s already broke, so why not! Maybe we could back off of some foreign aid for the money.” Steve Mode

community resonated. And Noonan took heat for a rambling graduation speech at Dakota Ridge High School in 2010. To her credit, she acknowledged her extemporaneous skills were not the best that day. In sum, the tone of the board has at times been too chippy, in spite of board chair’s efforts. We were tempted to let these instances fade from memory, but we were stirred by comments from Boggs and Noonan in a story we published this month that indicated they did not feel their views have been as validated as they should be as board members. We disagree with them. Instead, we simply say their views were heard, and we value the comments they made — often raising concerns that were researched by Jeffco staff. With a new day just around the corner, here’s our pitch for the candidate-elects-

to-be. Contribute your views to the flow of the process and remember a phrase often credited to Harry Truman: “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” And know your role — be ready to answer questions at all times from media and the public. It’s fine to refer an inquiry to a Jeffco Schools expert, but at least have a short answer and share opinions. Remember being an elected official is a whole different ball game than residing in the private sector where media questions can be rechanneled to spokespeople. Those of you elected by the people should be ready to find the right words to respond to the people at all times. And voters please give a listen to the interesting slate of candidates before making your choices.

Seize the day, or it may seize you If you listen really closely, you might hear something. Shhh ... yeah, there it is. “WHEW” That, my friends, is the sound of Ryan Cleady’s agent. For those of you who don’t listen to sports talk regularly, you may not have heard that Cleady, the Denver Broncos All-Pro left tackle, is out for the season after suffering a Lisfranc injury, a somewhat bizarre kind of foot injury. And the reason for his agent’s big sigh of relief is that Cleady agreed to terms about two months ago on a five-year deal with the Broncos that guarantees him $33 million. Cleady had the option of playing out this year under a one-year, roughly $10 million contract, and then testing the free agent market next year. If he’d had another great season, he might have made even more money than he will with the Broncos; on the flip side, a bad year (say, one ended early by injury) might have resulted in a big pay cut, and there’s actually some chance that he won’t return to great form from this injury. In other words, Cleady took a gamble that the wonderful option on the table in front of him was better than the possibilities in the future. “WHEW” Sort of the exact same sound anybody along the front range who bought flood insurance three weeks ago is making today. Not to be confused with the sound the non-insured people make when they find out that the funds released to Colorado by the feds will not be available to individual homeowners. But that’s a story for another day. I don’t mean to, in any way, conflate the tragedies that families are dealing with all up and down the front range with the injury suffered by a football player. But it’s odd that there’s a common lesson to be drawn from these events. How many basement remodels were on hold, waiting for “just the right time” to get started when the flood waters blew through? How many back yard re-soddings and front yard xeriscapings were in the planning stages when Boulder Creek

turned yards into wading pools? How many block parties were in the “we should do that” phase when the Big Thompson obliterated any sign of blocks or streets? We silly humans have this crazy idea that we have a lot of time to accomplish things, both trivial and meaningful. We have this conceit that we have control over the events of our lives and the course of human history. We are wrong. Every once in a while, this big world we live in rears up to remind us how puny we are in comparison to the forces at work around us. And, while I’m generally a fan of nature, sometimes these reminders are painful, even tragic. And, frankly, they’re becoming a bit too common of an occurrence for my comfort. But they also provide us with useful lessons. Instead of a block party, I heard stories of “shovel brigades”—small groups walking neighborhoods with shovels in hand offering to dig trenches and help their neighbors. Instead of remodeling, we heard stories of National Guard pilots flying around in the mountains at night using night-vision goggles to rescue civilians. And instead of “just the right time,” maybe we’ll all now be a little more cognizant of today. Carpe Diem, friends—you don’t know what tomorrow holds.

Just because I’m right … right?

I can be quite snippy when I’m right, although I sometimes hesitate to tell others to correct their behavior. But when I do speak up, it’s because I’m right. To the people leaving door-hanger ads in my neighborhood: “If you put those ten there, it looks like I’m not home because I ng come in through the garage.” care To the folks who fill the Dumpster with moving boxes: “You’re supposed to break n- those down.” and To the kids on Manitou Incline: “Your o a music is loud and annoying.” a Let me explain that one. emI climbed the Manitou Incline recently — 2,000 feet of elevation gain straight up e for three-quarters of a mile. The day was can hot, dry, clear, dusty, exhausting, and exe of hilarating. I was delighted with my strength ady as both the sun and I crept higher, and I e relished the different vistas the Manitou Incline was revealing step by 2,200 steps. e inThen I heard it — an ill-mannered king backbeat not prudently and appropriately contained in headphones, but booming

impudently from the pack of a college-student-looking girl climbing past me. Clearly the cacophony was for the questionable benefit of her three companions, and also, I was sure, an obvious violation of the nature code on the trail. I grumbled about inconsiderate these people to my hiking partner, who tried to talk me down, but I charged up to the obnoxious group that had paused above us. “I’m not usually one who tells others what to do,” I began sanctimoniously. “But your music is seriously interfering with my experience here.” I waved my hand around

to illustrate just what experience they were interfering with. “It’s really loud. And it’s annoying. If I had ear buds on me right now, I’d give them to you. All of you.” Their expressions went from apathetic to incredulous. The guy in the group retorted as people do when confronted with an unconceivable situation from a stranger, “Oh, yeah? Well maybe you should wear headphones.” “I’m not listening to music.” I pointed out the obvious. “So, have you ever heard of noisecancelling headphones?” His question was a self-righteous challenge that heated me up even more. Their music, though, had faded, so I stomped on up the steps, shaking my head the way people do when disgusted. Later, I wished I’d had the presence of mind to deliver this snappy comeback, “So I can cancel out the noise from the sun?” That would have shut him down right proper.

Sometimes I do regret being snippy and then I feel bad about speaking up. The door-hanger people are only trying to make a living. The boxes-in-the-Dumpster neighbors are most likely exhausted from the move. I probably make others feel bad too. At least that’s what I assume from ducked heads and a mumbled “Sorry.” I remind myself again and again to just live and let live. But … music on a hiking trail? A discordant din blaring from a backpack on the Manitou Incline? Such serious noise in nature? Granted, I’ve second-guessed myself about this situation, too, because I know I felt bad afterward, and it’s possible that they did too. But this time, I’m right … right?

Short-term thinking blurs big-picture vision

The need for instant gratification has truly compromised our ability to see beyond what is immediately in front of us. I mean in some cases we can’t even see the next three hours that are directly in front of us let alone three weeks, three months, or three years down the road. We want something and we want it now. I do agree that part of this insatiable need for speed when it comes to our wants and desires has been shaped by technology and the fact that we can access information with one or two clicks on our computer, tablet, and smart phone. But I also believe as a society we have developed a perceived need to keep up with our neighbors, family members, and our competitors when it comes to business. We want what they have and we want it ould now. on You see, short-term thinkers limit s? themselves to what they can have or ea achieve today instead of seeing the much sh bigger potential of tomorrow. And whether e tomorrow comes in a day, in a month, over or over several years … tomorrow will of eventually come. And if we live only for the things we can have at our fingertips in this moment, we forgo the opportunity to enjoy d we the rewards that come by careful planning, y we temporary sacrifices, saving, being patient, k and willing to earn and wait for the things fan that will provide enjoyment and security in are the future. ’re Near-term thinking or seeking is driven urby an attitude of impatience.

visioning and pursuing is driven by a goalsoriented and results-focused attitude. The student will make a decision to blow off a homework assignment today in exchange for a good time tonight. The unemployed person will stop sending resumes and applying for the position they truly want because they were not offered a job today. The person seeking to lose weight or improve their physical fitness will avoid the gym because the pounds are coming off too slowly or their endurance or strength is not improving rapidly enough. There are countless scenarios where the shortcut and partial success are rationalized by the acceptance of fractional achievement of what we really desire. Our choice to accept the “almost-win” always seems easier at first, but ultimately leads to a life filled with “woulda,” “shoulda,” “coulda” thoughts and regrets. Of course there are activities and tasks that require short-term thinking and immediate actions. However, when we allow everything we do to be driven by the near

term, it is so easy to lose sight of the big picture. So what do we do about this instant gratification epidemic? The first thing we need to do is to adopt an attitude of patience and big-picture visioning. The second thing we need to do is to identify our goals. And as a best practice, categorize each goal into one of three buckets: near term, mid-range, and longterm. The first time that we go through this exercise we will probably notice that one of the buckets is filled with more goals than the other two. This is a good thing, as it will bring awareness to where our current focus lies. The next step is to go back and make sure that there is some level of distribution in all three buckets. Once we have taken the time to identify and prioritize our goals into these catego-

ries, we will begin to see and internally own the road map for our personal success. This is easier than we think; it only requires some time and thoughtful consideration to get started. And there is no time like the present to get started. How about you, is it about instant gratification or are you willing to put in the time, hard work, patience and sacrifice necessary to realize your goals and dreams? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, because when we get our heads and hearts around what our long-term future can possibly be, it really will be a better than good week.

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Prominent Jefferson County officials tried to convince attendees at a Sept. 21 Golden town hall meeting to support a November ballot question that seeks $950 million in new taxes to fund an overhaul to the state’s school finance system. Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson fielded questions about the ballot measure from a small audience, along with state Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge, and state Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk, whose legislative district includes Jefferson County. The three women are backers of Amendment 66, a measure that will expand school programs and change how Colorado schools are funded. “This is one of the most important ballot measures we’ve had in a long time,” said Schafer, who also told the audience that passage of Amendment 66 is vital because Colorado public schools have lost “about $1 billion in funding over the last four years.” Amendment 66 would fund the changes to the School Finance Act that were put in place through Senate Bill 213 earlier this year. The measure would create full-day kindergarten for all Colorado students and free preschool for at-risk students. It also would provide more resources for English language learners, as well as for students who are in “gifted and talented” programs. The measure would pump more

A permanent tax increase

Senate Bill 213 was one of the most contentious bills debated during this year’s legislative session, and it’s one that failed to garner a single Republican vote in the Democrat-controlled General Assembly. The bill was later signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper. Opponents say that the Amendment 66 funding measure is a nearly-$1 billion tax hike that seeks to throw money at schools, but does not put in place any true school reforms. If passed, Amendment 66 would result in a permanent income tax in-

crease, without a sunset provision. Stevenson acknowledges that Jeffco taxpayers will pay about $114-124 million in taxes, but only between 52 and 83 percent of those dollars will actually find their way to Jeffco schools, she said. “Anybody who does the math, that’s accurate,” she said. The ratio of taxes-to-district funding is one of the concerns that is troubling Diane Borden of Golden, who attended the town hall. “I want to make sure the money that’s being taken out of their paycheck is directly going to our schools and the needs of our district,” she said. “I just don’t believe it’s going to work as well as you’re thinking it will. I know you have good intentions.” Stevenson also acknowledged that the new funding would not mean a reduction in the amount of fees that parents pay for certain Jeffco school programs and services. However, she points out that the district has always assisted poor children with school supplies and services. One audience member said that is the wrong time to ask taxpayers for this kind of money, given the current economy. “The economic downturn doesn’t warrant taking more of my money,” said one man, who left before the meeting ended. “We don’t have it at the moment, and I don’t see prospects of booming economic improvements in the near future.” But Pat Yingst of Golden, who is a supporter of Amendment 66, said that voters need to be thinking about the community’s future. “A big problem we have is the inability to think long-term,” she said. “It seems a lot of people do not want to think about that.”

money into public schools, while creating a more equitable system by which school districts are funded, supporters say. Stevenson said Jeffco schools would get at least $71 million in new funding, if Amendment 66 passes. That would enable the district to return to 2010 funding levels, she said. Stevenson said that Jeffco voters should not view last year’s passage of a mill levy increase as having solved the district’s budget issues. The revenue raised by initiatives 3A and 3B allowed the district to prevent significant budget cuts, but its funding still falls about $50 million short of levels from a few years ago, she said. Stevenson also said that Colorado’s tax burden would remain in the bottom half among other states in the country, even if the measure passes. And the superintendent said that it’s important for Jeffco teachers to get pay raises, something that hasn’t happened in five years. “I really feel like we have a priority as a community to say that our teacher salaries are important because we want them in our community,” Stevenson said.

THE PARADE ES OF HOtoM Sept 2

August 8

We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about craŌsmanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and building techniques. The thicker walls in our high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insulaƟon than in a convenƟonal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we get 2½ Ɵmes MORE insulaƟon in the aƫc. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill!

Visit Camelot, smell the roses As expected, the Arvada Center’s Artistic Producer/Director Rod Lansberry delivered an unexpected interpretation of the classic musical “Camelot.” Lansberry infused a new depth of character into the entire production. To begin with, the actors were all relatively young which actually would have been the case given the short life expectancy in those days. That alone added a new energy. When they first meet, the youthful playfulness of King Arthur (David Bryant Johnson) and his intended bride Guinevere (Melissa Mitchell) is a delight to behold. Guinevere is the perfect sounding board for Arthur who wishes to create a kingdom in which there will be no conflicts. He begins with enlisting noble knights who will gather at a round table where all will be equal. Among those knights is Sir Lancelot (Glenn Seven Allen). Arthur’s desire for peace and harmony are put to the test when it becomes evident that his bride and his best friend are becoming uncomfortably close. Since they both love Arthur they face an insurmountable conundrum. Every aspect of “Camelot” is pristine. The sets, costumes, lighting, sound are impeccable. The acting/singing is splendid. And, happily for those of you who haven’t yet seen this masterpiece, the run has been extended through Sun., Oct. 6. For tickets and information, call 720-898-7200 or go to www.arvadacenter.org.

www.goldenfarmersmarket.org Sponsored by the Golden Chamber of Commerce en held the world premiere of the play “I Never Promised You a Rose Garden.” Playwright Walter L. Newman based his work on author Joanne Greenberg’s largely autobiographical novel by the same title. The award-winning writer and her husband Albert live near Evergreen where she continues her work. Rick Bernstein once again directs. That is the only clear similarity between the two productions. What a marvelous piece of work this is to be able to propel such different interpretations. Debra Klein (Ellie Schwartz) suffers from debilitating schizophrenia and while her mother believes hospitalization is the next step, her father is very resistant to the idea. Debra is finally admitted to the facility where she is placed under the care of Dr. Fried (Lori Hansen) who, unlike most practitioners of the time, believed that schizophrenia could be cured by rigorous psychotherapy. Bring tissues. “I Never Promised You a Rose Garden” plays through Oct. 27. MAP is on the second floor at 1224 Washington Ave. (13th and Washington).

West Metrolife Nosh, network with the ‘Divas’ Douglas County Divas holds a co-ed event on Oct. 15

I’m all about supporting women’s groups, and this Douglas County Divas networking organization sounds like a hoot. Plus, I love everything “Diva,” from “Double Divas” to “Drop Dead Diva.” The Douglas County Divas normally meet the third Tuesday of every month, giving women a chance to network and increase business contacts. But on Oct. 15, the group will be holding a special co-ed event 6-8 p.m. at The Fowl Line at 774 Maleta Lane in Castle Rock. Attendees are asked to bring “plenty of business cards.” For more information, contact Pam Anderson at 303-596-8075 or pamsgonegreen@gmail.com or Theresa Buckley at 720-280-2910 or theresa.girlsgonegreen@ gmail.com. For more details about the group, visit www.douglascountydivas.com.

Miners Alley brings back local favorite By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com

iners Alley Playhouse’s newest production is a local favorite, and a seminal play that was created, written and workshopped specifically for the theater. Based on actual experiences, this story takes the audiences back to the 1940s, puts them in the psychiatrist’s chair along with a young girl who is dealing with schizophrenia. “I Never Promised You A Rose Garden,” written by Walter Newton, based on Joanne Greenberg’s semi-autobiographical novel, will play at the theater, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, until Oct. 27. Show times are 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 6 p.m. on Sundays. “Greenberg lives in Evergreen and is a friend of the theater, and we worked with her and Newton on creating this play especially for our theater from 2002 through 2003, and it was finally produced in 2004,” said director Rick Bernstein. “‘Rose Garden’ was a huge experience for us, and it’s great to revisit.” The story follows Debra Klein (Ellie Schwartz) and Dr. Fried (Lori Hansen) as they

work to try to help Debra defeat the demons she is battling. Debra created the Kingdom of Yr as a form of self-defense from her reality. In childhood, she suffered frequent abuse from her antiSemitic peers while at the same time being sheltered by her over-protected family. At first Yr was a safe-haven for her, but eventually the gods of Yr became tyrannical dictators who ruled Debra’s every word and action. At the age of 16, Debra was committed to a psychiatric hospital diagnosed with schizophrenia. Dr. Fried is a revolutionary doctor, according to Bernstein, because instead of treating schizophrenia with electroshock, surgery or drugs, she approaches her patients with psychotherapy. This was an extremely controversial choice at the time. Dr. Fried is based on Greenberg’s real psychiatrist, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, who helped her deal with her issues, Bernstein said. “We decided that instead of the way we did the first production — which was a bit sensationalist, and very dramatic — and focused on Rose continues on Page 17

Denver bigwig and deep-pocket giver Larry Mizel is proud to announce that “Jewtopia,” a movie written by daughter Courtney Mizel, is out in theaters. If you are thinking about a date night with your significant other, this is the one to see, so I’m told. Courtney sent this email missive about her project: Dear Friends, “As many of you know, I have spent the past couple of years working on `Jewtopia.’ First the play at the Greenway Court Theater, and then, the movie! I am very excited to announce that the movie will be out (today) in theaters around the country as well as on VOD on most cable carriers as well as on iTunes, XBox and a number of other online platforms. “Needless to say I am very excited about this release and I would greatly appreciate your support!” The film’s cast includes Ivan Sergei, Joel David Moore, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jamie Lynn Sigler, Rita Wilson and Jon Lovitz. To see the trailer go to: www.youtube. com/watch?v=7a0zZSVeW-k. “Jewtopia” opened on Sept. 20 at the AMC Cherry Creek 8 in the Cherry Creek Shopping Center.

Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who was the second person to walk on the moon, was spotted having dinner on Monday and lunch on Tuesday at Panzano, the charming Italian eatery inside The Hotel Monaco. According to my spy, however, Aldrin wasn’t wearing a space suit. Also spotted around town: Fox 31 meteorologist Nick Carter eating lunch with a friend at south Denver restaurant Piccolo’s, a former frequent and favorite haunt of the On The Town family when we stayed at Marriott’s TownePlace Suites for four months five years ago while waiting for our Capitol Hill condo to be completed.

Mustangs nearly capture no-hitter Tigers aim to get hot down the stretch By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com ARVADA - To call Ralston Valley’s pitching effort against the Lakewood Tigers strong would not only be appropriate, it would be factual. The Mustangs nearly no-hit Lakewood behind an unbreakable pitching performance by sophomore Rylie Strong in a 13-0 shutout victory Wednesday at Ralston Valley High School. But after having no success against the arm of Strong for five innings and on the verge of being on the wrong side of history, the Tigers finally broke up the no-no when senior Natalie Stevens singled to center field. “I thought we might have a no-hitter out here today, but it’s not about that and more about the win,” Ralston Valley coach Wendy Davies said. “We played well today.” While the no-hitter was lost, the Mustangs were cer-

Pomona perseveres in five-set win Thrilling match could have gone either way By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com ARVADA - Home court advantage might have played the deciding factor in a dramatic five-set 5A division victory by Pomona volleyball over Bear Creek Thursday at Pomona High School, Sept. 19. The Panthers were able to outlast the Bears (25-22, 21-25, 13-25, 26-24, 15-5). “This was an important win for us, they are all important from this point on now that we are in the middle of league play,” Pomona coach Leilani Luke said. After getting pushed to the brink,

down two sets to one, Pomona finally caught fire in the third set winning 15-5 with the help of solid defense led by sophomore’s Julia Baskin and Syd McCoy. But Pomona was close to not getting a chance to play a fifth set for the win. Up 9-3 in the fourth set, Pomona let Bear Creek back into contention with multiple errors allowing the Bears to nearly steal the set behind solid all around play by senior Courtney O’Gane. O’Gane and fellow senior Marie Molher were nearly able to push Bear Creek to a four-set win, but they couldn’t seal Volleyball continues on Page 23

tainly not disappointed. But why would they be, combining for 13 runs on 15 hits, including senior Katie Lamirato’s huge stat-line that included three RBIs and four runs scored. “Some of us on this team have been playing together since we were eight years old, so we feel like we have a lot to prove in each game of our senior years,” Lamirato said. But while the scoreboard said the Tigers were blown out they remain extremely positive about the loss. Lakewood coach Jennifer Coulson acknowledged Ralston Valley might be the best team in 5A Jeffco, but she also thinks her team is close to breaking out. “Our league is stacked. There are so many good teams in our league which means we have to turn into one of those teams ourselves,” Coulson said. “We think we are close to breaking out and going on a run of our own.” Coulson may be onto something because three days later Lakewood got its first league win, 4-3 at Standley Lake on Saturday. The Tigers (3-10, 1-3) will host Bear Creek Thursday at 4:30 p.m. The Mustangs (10-3, 4-0) are coming off seven straight victories and will play at Arvada West Thursday at 4:30 p.m.

Wheat Ridge stuns struggling Golden Farmers win big in front of their homecoming crowd By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com LAKEWOOD - Two very proud Jeffco football teams both with rich traditions and histories are trending in two different directions. Wheat Ridge football dominated Golden 42-0 Thursday at Jeffco Stadium in a game only competitive for the first quarter. With the homecoming win, the Farmers (3-1) firmly cement themselves again as one of the top teams in all of 4A. “This was a good win for our guys, everyone got to chip in tonight. We started off a little slower than I would have liked, but I am happy with our effort tonight,” Wheat Ridge coach Reid Kahl said. With the loss the Demons (0-4) continue to struggle, suffering their second consecutive shutout. “Tough loss for us. We aren’t improving the way I would have hoped but it’s not for lack of effort. We will get back to work and try and get better,” Golden coach Jason Neely said. But the Farmers didn’t make it easy on the Demons either. Junior running back Jordan Jones was a force the entire game rushing for a pair of touchdown from seven and three yards out. In addition, freshman Ryen Kahl, son of the Wheat Ridge head coach, looked good in his debut. The Farmers decided to make a change at quarterback and even though coach Kahl might take a little heat because Ryen is ‘the coach’s son,’” Ryen certainly did not disappoint. On two different occasions the younger Kahl looked like an old veteran hooking up with junior Dakota Koenecke for a 23-yard touchdown. Later, Kahl threw a 59-yard touchdown that senior Averee Mason took to the house.

Golden quarterback Brandon Gardner takes the snap from the shotgun. “I know he is ‘the coach’s kid’ but people also know that all I care about is winning games,” Kahl said. “We will get back to work next week and continue to improve.” Golden has also been shuffling the deck moving players in and out at multiple positions. After taking over a 1-9 team from last season Neely has his work cut out for him. But he also has one of the youngest teams in Jeffco, and he is giving many of those underclassmen opportunities now so that they will be ready to compete with the Wheat Ridge’s of the world in the near future. “We are very young. I tell our guys that we may be struggling right now but if we continue to work there is no reason why we cannot be as good as Wheat Ridge. Golden will host Littleton for its homecoming game Friday at the Colorado School of Mines field at 7 p.m. The Farmers will play Montbello Friday at 7 p.m. at All City Stadium.

Pomona (6-3, 1-0) will play at Columbine Friday, 6:30 p.m. Bear Creek (4-5, 0-1), who has shown flashes of being one of the better teams in the league will need to try and find some consistency moving forward. The Bears will host Arvada West Friday at 6:30 p.m.
