Global stature on the rise Business leaders weigh 3 million mark for Denver metro

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Denver may be home to more than 600,000 people, but add the surrounding cities and counties, and the Denver metro area is expected to collectively grow to 3 million people.

In fact, it may have already happened, a milestone that firmly places the area on the international radar in the global competition for jobs.

According to estimates from the State Demographer’s Office, the population may have hit the 3 million mark in mid-August, but demographers won’t know for sure until next July, said Elizabeth Garner, a state demographer.

In July, the estimated population of the Denver area was 2.951 million people.

“The growth that Colorado is experiencing right now is not that unusual,” said Garner, reporting an increase of 78,000 people last year compared to 120,000 people at one time during the 1990s.

Typical or not, local political and business leaders are taking notice of the population growth and weighing in about that means for the area.

“It’s a brave new world for us,” said Tom Clark, chief executive of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp. and executive vice president of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.

“At 2 million people, a metropolitan region becomes a perpetual job machine,” he said, citing a study conducted by a research economist in the early 1990s.

At the 2 million mark, a city begins to grow its own jobs and becomes selfsustaining, Clark explained. Money stays within the community longer and exits lat-

A GREAT PLACE TO BE Colorado ranked first in the country for the lowest obesity rate.

A study released by Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation considered adult obesity rates by state and reported that every state had obesity rates above 20 percent. Colorado reported the lowest rate of 21.3 percent.

A recent study by WalletHub ranked Colorado as the fourth happiest state in the country. The study considered 26 key metrics including emotional health, income levels, and sports participation rates. The top three happiest states in order were Utah, Minnesota and North Dakota.

Outside magazine released a ranking of the 100 best companies to work, with 28 of those businesses located in Colorado. Four of the top 10 spots and half of the top 20 were Colorado companies. Sphero, a Boulder-based robotic toy manufacturer, ranked third, the highest spot of all Colorado companies. Also in the top 20 was GroundFloor Media (4th), Zen Planner (6th), New Belgium Brewing (7th), ReadyTalk (11th), Global Works (14th), RoundPegg (15th), Cloud 9 Living (16th), TDA_Boulder (18th), and Adaptive Sports Center (20th).

er while wealth and income tend to go up.

But at 3 million, a city or in this case — a metropolitan area — makes its debut on the world stage.

“Three million begins to put you into a global competition for jobs,” Clark said.

In the past, Colorado’s biggest competitors for job locations were Phoenix and Dallas. Today, Colorado’s direct competitors to the south are overshadowed by cities much farther away such as Dublin, Singapore and Toronto.

Clark credits transportation build-out, infrastructure and a highly diverse economy for putting the Denver area on the global market. He pinpointed specific areas of the state’s economy that are in line with the U.S. economy — green and fossil Stature continues on Page 5

State’s two big races closer than expected Gubernatorial, Senate contests have incumbents on edge

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com There will be no need for manicure appointments this week for the four candidates involved in Colorado’s gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races — because Election Night is expected to be a real nail-biter.

“This is one of the most exciting elections in Colorado history,” said Bob Loevy, a longtime state political observer and political science professor from Colorado College. “I can’t recall a governor’s race and a Senate race neck-and-neck, right at the same time.”

The question for the Democratic incumbents, Gov. John Hickenlooper and Sen. Mark Udall, is whether they will be able to ride out an expected national Republican wave on Nov. 4.

Loevy said the wave historically is a reliable one, and it’s one that could sweep U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner into the Senate and could help former Congressman Bob Beauprez become the next governor of Colorado.

Loevy calls it the “six-year pushback,” which occurs every sixth year of a U.S. presidency. The pushback is born from a midterm election political environment that historically favors the party that does not control the White House.

Loevy said the wave goes back as far as 1938, when Democrats lost seats in Congress during Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidency. More recently, Democrats dominated the 2006 midterm elections, which were held during George W. Bush’s

sixth year as president.

Bill Clinton proved to be the exception in 1998, when Democrats performed well during that year’s mid-term election cycle, a result of voter backlash against the perceived overreach of Republicans’ response to Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky.

The wave doesn’t just just impact federal races, Loevy said.

“If you back me into a corner, I would say I think the Republicans are going to win the governorship because of the sixyear pushback,” he said.

If that happens, Hickenlooper supporters surely will be asking themselves how things ever got to that point.

“That would be most inexplicable to me,” said Eric Sondermann, an independent political analyst. “If you would have told people six months ago that when ballots are being sent to mailboxes, it would be a dead-heat race, a lot of people would have taken that bet.”

Odds did not favor a Republican gubernatorial win this spring. Hickenlooper’s quirky personality and his insistence on never running a negative campaign seemed to resonate with voters through the early part of his first term.

The state’s economy had been gaining steam under Hickenlooper’s stewardship, and early Republican primary polls showed polarizing former Congressman Tom Tancredo leading the pack of GOP primary hopefuls.

Instead it was Beauprez who won the nomination in June — the man tagged as “both ways Bob” when he was badly beaten by Bill Ritter in the 2006 gubernatorial race. Beauprez’s baggage from his previous run left Hickenlooper supporters feeling good about their chances come November.

However, for months, the Beauprez campaign has hammered away at Hickenlooper’s perceived lack of leadership in several areas. At the top of that list was the governor’s decision to grant a reprieve for death-row inmate Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993. Hickenlooper

received criticism for taking a middle path rather than going forward with either an execution or clemency.

The governor also caused a media stir over the summer during a gathering of state sheriffs, where he fumbled comments on gun-control legislation that he signed into law the year before.

Meanwhile, Beauprez has mostly run a mistake-free campaign. But will that be enough to take down a likable governor of a state that typically doesn’t oust incumbents from the job?

Norman Provizer, a political science professor at Metropolitan State University, said Beauprez seems to have learned from his “disastrous” 2006 bid and that part of his strategy this time is to simply stay out of Hickenlooper’s way while the governor makes mistakes on the campaign trail.

“It’s basically don’t do anything stupid and don’t say very much,” Provizer said.

Sondermann agrees, but added that Beauprez needs to do more than that in order to be successful Nov. 4.

“He’s been the person standing by the side of train tracks and seeing if the freight train derails,” Sondermann said of Beauprez’s campaign strategy. “If it does, you’re there to pick up the pieces. Is the passive strategy enough to get him to get over the finish line or does he need a closer? My instinct is he needs a closer.”

Women’s rights in spotlight Meanwhile, the Udall-Gardner matchup has been one of the most closely followed Senate races in the country.

Women’s issues have dominated the campaign, with the Udall team launching an early-and-often advertising blitz against Gardner, which has attempted to paint the conservative congressman as being out of touch or too extreme on issues pertaining to women’s reproductive rights.

But Udall has been criticized for having run what some perceive to be a one-issue campaign that is obsessed with capturing support of women voters.

Provizer surmises that the Udall campaign must be seeing internal polling numbers that show the attacks against Gardner are working and that “it’s always a good political move to define your opponent.”

“But it became so much of it that it lost its effectiveness,” Provizer said.

Also possibly working against Udall are recent crises outside of his control that could favor Republicans this fall. Whether that’s fair to Democrats is another story.

Analysts agree that the rise of ISISbacked terrorism in the Middle East and questions over the government’s response to the ongoing Ebola virus threat may help Republicans on Nov. 4, because those developments happened on Obama’s watch.

“Just weeks before ballots are mailed out in Colorado, those are about the two worst things to happen to Democrats, not only for what happened, but the timing,” Loevy said.

“It is awfully a tough year to be carrying the Democrat banner, particularly in a federal race,” Sondermann added. “The bloom has fallen off the rose for Obama, there’s ISIS, Ebola ... there’s just very little good news for any Democrat.”

But Democrats still have a major advantage going for them that gives supporters hope — the vaunted Democratic get-outthe-vote machine.

Democrats have lapped Republicans in voter efforts in recent elections, and their outreach to women and Latino voters helped Michael Bennet win a close 2010 Senate contest that he had been trailing in polls leading up to Election Day. “Everyone talks about this modern-day political, technological war out there,” Provizer said. “But there still remains a World War I aspect about a campaign, and that’s trench warfare on the ground.”

Whatever happens on Nov. 4, political observers say they will be enjoying the show.

“Stepping aside from who might win and lose, what an election,” Loevy said.

“You can’t ask for anything more than that.”

Jeffco residents lead in voter turnout County makes official change over to mail-in ballots

son is urging eligible voters to return mailin ballots early or head down to any voting center that is the most convenient. Fullservice voter and polling centers which are no longer assigned to a person’s place of residence are now open across Jeffco. The centers allow voters to update voter information, request a ballot or access voting equipment.

Mail-in ballots assigned to voters who have chosen to receive one have already been sent out.

“If you have already decided and you have your ballot, go ahead and vote and drop it off to us,” Anderson said. “Certainty, we don’t want folks to mistakenly put their ballot in the U.S. Postal Service stream on Election Day because we are not going to receive it in time.”

Sitting in a cafeteria, wearing his beloved sky blue Hawaiian shirt, Mike Seymour presents himself as a confident, well-rounded individual.

But not so long ago, he says mental illness and substance abuse plagued his life.

But through a blessing, known as The Crossing, a residential treatment program supported by donations from Arvada’s annual Turkey Chase 5k, Seymour, 48, can tell a different story now.

“For myself, everyone thought I was a

total mess when I got here, and now I can see a big difference in myself,” he said. “If you just put your mind to it and do what you gotta do, there’s a better future in the

long run for those who actually want to better themselves.”

Seymour, whose family lives in Arvada, hasn’t had it easy. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a mental illness that causes severe mood swings, he found himself on an emotional roller coaster. To numb the pain and desensitize himself from reality, he turned to unhealthy vices.

“I would self-medicate on bipolar meds or I felt I didn’t need them so I wouldn’t take them,” he said. “That led to drugs and alcohol and the street life.”

For years, Seymour fought a crippling battle with prescription drugs, alcohol and marijuana addictions, and altercations

with the law. Living on and off the street, it wasn’t until an ultimatum lay before him that reality set in — his life or prison.

“I told myself if I didn’t stop, there may be a time I might be doing severe time over it,” he said.

So he made a choice.

After taking steps to quit his addictions, Seymour became involved with Centerpoint Community Church, 6265 Garrison St., where he met Steve Swihart, a chaplain who offered him an opportunity that would later change his life.

Did You Have a Bad Real Estate Experience? Here Are Some Actions You Can Take

By JIM SMITH, Realtor ®

When people know you’re a real estate agent, they want to talk real estate, and occasionally the conversation turns to bad experiences they have had with the various professionals involved in real estate transactions.

I’m not an expert on where to complain about other professionals, but I thought you’d like to know where to turn when your bad experience was with a real estate agent.

Most real estate agents are Realtors —that is, they are members of the National Association of Realtors. As Realtors, we are diligent about being perceived as honorable professionals abiding by our Realtor Code of Ethics — Google it to learn its provisions — and we count on buyers and sellers as well as fellow Realtors to report wrong-doing of any kind to the appropriate authorities. In this column, I will help you know where to go.

First, determine whether your agent has a managing broker to whom he reports. If his/ her business card says “broker associate” he has a “broker” above him who shares responsibility for his or her actions. In that case, the first place to go would be his or her managing broker. Because brokers share responsibility for the misdeeds of their broker associates they really do want to know of any such misdeeds and can be counted on to take discipli-

nary action of their own against a broker associate who has done you wrong. If you are still in the transaction, the broker can also remove that broker associate from your transaction and assign another broker associate — or serve you him/herself.

If, however, the agent you’re complaining about is the broker, you still have one and possibly two paths open to you. If your complaint involves a violation of licensing law, you should complain to the Division of Real Estate. You can file a complaint online. The URL is too long to include here—just Google “Colorado Division of Real Estate Complaints” to find the fillable online form.

If your complaint is of an ethical nature, determine whether the agent is a Realtor (a member of a Realtor association). You can determine that online at www.Colorado Realtors.com or call the Denver Metro Assn. of Realtors at 303-756-0553 and ask them to help you. If the agent is a Realtor, the same person can tell you how to file a complaint.

If the agent is not a Realtor, he can’t be accused of violating the Realtor Code of Ethics (a good reason to hire only a Realtor), but you can still file a complaint with Metrolist, which has a procedure for handling complaints against non-Realtors who are members of the MLS. Call 303-850-9576.

If your agent’s actions caused you a moneIf this column does not provide you with the tary loss, remember that he/she has, by law, information you need, feel free to call me.

Crime lab ready for testing Regional lab to serve several cities

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colordo communtiymedia.com Civic leaders and law enforcement officials toured the expanded and improved Jefferson County Regional Crime Lab on Oct. 22.

The lab more than tripled in size, from 2,500 square feet to 16,500 square feet and will bring together forensic technicians from the county’s various municipalities who are in need of better equipment, more space, faster results — all of which will eliminate the need for going to the state for help.

“As we have now finished the validation stage of the DNA lab and as we bring that stuff online, we anticipate that we will be cutting some of those time frames at about half of what we have been experiencing,” said Division Chief Jeff Shrader at the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office. “That will give us the ability to set the priorities and set the number of items of what we can test at any

given place.”

The cost for the campus project was $34.8 million with an estimated $12 million of the total cost dedicated toward the crime lab and storage space, Shrader said.

The lab’s high-tech equipment for DNA extraction and testing costs $750,000.

“We feel that we owe it to our community and our victims to analyze evidence that comes across our individual agencies in a timely and efficient manner so that we can ensure a speedy prosecution for those that rely on forensic evidence,” said Jeffco Sheriff Ted Mink.

The lab houses several exam rooms for different areas of forensic investigations including DNA testing, ballistics, fingerprinting and a chemistry lab with quality testing equipment to accommodate advancing forensic science.

Cities help support the crime lab through money or through staffing — technicians employed by city law enforcement agencies who will work there.

Jeffco’s trend toward regionalizing certain services is part of the county’s and surrounding cities’ efforts to work together to provide better service while saving on costs. Other regional law enforcement partnerships including a regional training academy and a West Metro Drug Task

“Without the support of city councils and managers — we wouldn’t be able to do this,” Mink said.

Golden City Manager Mike Bestor attended the tour along with Golden city

council members, Marcia Claxton and Saoirse Charis-Graves.

“This is going to prove to be a great investment for nailing these bad guys,” Bestor said, who supported the lab project.

“All the jurisdictions here work really, really well together and that makes all the difference in the world.”

Doing better for veterans American Job Center hosts Add-A-Veteran event

By Clarke Reader creader@colorado communitymedia.com Veterans were one of the most affected groups by the recent economic downturn, and so the American Job Center is hosting an Add-A-Veteran Hiring Event to give service members a chance to find new employment.

The event is 9-11:30 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 13, at the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center, 4005 Kipling St. All registered veterans and their spouses will be provided a list of positions that are open from each company in attendance.

Veterans will be given the opportunity to target their resumes and conduct research on the businesses in advance of this event.

and put the word out to a lot of employers,” said Tim Galloway, program supervisor with the American Job Center. “The employers appreciate the chance to meet great candidates and the veterans get a chance to prepare.”

While the event is focused on Jefferson County, it is not exclusive to the county — veterans from the metro area are welcome to attend.

Galloway said in the past hiring managers from companies as varied as Lockheed Martin, Terumo BCT and NREL make appearances at the event, as well as representatives from a variety of trade unions.

All services are veteran preferred at the American Job Center and Galloway said the Add-A-Veteran event reflects a commitment to providing the best options for those who served.

“Veterans deserve all the support the community can provide,” he said. “Veterans have been extremely pleased to be put in close proximity with companies looking to hire.”

The Jefferson County Economic Development Corp or Jeffco EDC, is the state’s oldest economic development organization and works closely with businesses and political leaders to build and sustain jobs in the county.

“When we’re seeing that population growth, and we’re seeing that we’re becoming a major metropolitan area — and companies are recognizing that and wanting to set up shop here or they want to expand out here for existing business that we do

have,” said Tom Livingston, economic development specialist with Jeffco EDC. “We want to make sure that we are able to accommodate that growth and there is a lot that goes with that as far as the residential aspect.”

Balancing land use with continued growth will be a challenge in Jeffco where preserving open space is an important aspect and cultural identifier of the county, County Commissioner Casey Tighe said.

“We just have to be smart about how we grow,” Tighe said.

Urban centers that offer walkability and bike-friendly access in close proximity to mass transit seem to be the future for urban planning to attract millennials and businesses to the area.

“You’re starting to see that happening, and we’re going to have to see about other locations,” he said,

noting cities like Arvada and Lakewood that are building urban centers around train stations along the W Line light rail.

The days of building homes with large backyards are fading away, Tighe said, so it is important to preserve the county’s aging stock to also reinvigorate neighborhoods.

“We still want to give people these options to fit their lifestyles,” he said.

In addition to challenges associated with land use, managing water resources and keeping the air clean will also be part of the balancing act for Jeffco businesses and political leaders.

“We’re going to continue to grow whether we like it or not,” Clark said. “You need to be spending money to take good care of those assets that you don’t get back if you screw them up.”

GERARD HEALEY President MIKKEL KELLY Publisher and Editor GLENN WALLACE Assistant Editor CRYSTAL ANDERSON Community Editor

Quantities of quality connections There are some wonderful things about living in Colorado this time of year. For instance, no matter how contentious, ugly, or, frankly, embarrassing the political debates we’re having become (I mean, really, folks — when national media outlets are referring to your senator by a female reproductive organ ...), we can all come together around one thing: The Denver Broncos.

I, like, well, everybody, was glued to the TV last Thursday night for the Broncos/49ers game. And, no matter how long he’s been at this, Peyton Manning still seems to find new ways to exploit his opponents. This week, it was Emmanuel Sanders torching the enemy for three touchdowns.

And then I go, “how the heck do ‘we’ (because, y’know, I am a part of the Broncos organization) have Emmanuel Sanders?” He’s really fast, he catches everything thrown his way, and he looks, for all the world, like one of the league’s top-tier receivers. But why would someone like that come to the Broncos, knowing that we already have one of the five best receivers, one of the five best tight ends, and the greatest slot receiver the game has ever seen?

But it’s not just him. The three “really big” offseason pickups were all on the defense. So, why are all these major players coming to play in Denver, when they could make the same (or maybe better) money

somewhere else?

And the answer is simple: quality attracts quality. These players all know that, as long as Peyton Manning is in Denver, they have a chance to win a Super Bowl.

But, more than that, I think they know that, as long as Peyton Manning is in Denver, things are going to be done the right way.

And, why is Peyton Manning in Denver?

Because John Elway is running things, and that means things are going to be done the right way.

By the way, if you want to see the converse of this idea, just watch the Colorado Rockies’ off-season. See how much “A-list” talent they attract.

The old proverb advises to “judge a man by the company he keeps.” I think the same is very true of organizations, and not just sports teams. For instance, I’ve been very impressed to witness, over the last several weeks, the quality of people who have come through the doors of our church. We attend the Arvada Covenant

Church, and we’ve been trying to hire a new worship leader, and the finalists were invited to meet the congregation, and lead us in song. And the two people who came in were most impressive! And then, just this past week, a junior member of the pastoral staff gave the Sunday sermon, and hit it out of the park.

I am forced to conclude that there is something very good going on in the culture of my church (thankfully—whew!) that it has been able to attract some very strong people to be a part of the organization. It speaks well of the leadership of the senior pastor, and the governance of the board of directors. The same is true of schools, and of retirement communities, and, really, of every organization (except, maybe,Trump Industries, who simply pay through the roof for talent).

So I think the lesson of the Broncos’ re-ascension to dominance is simply this: if you are in a leadership position (say, of a school district), and you want to know how you’re doing, you have no further to look than the resumes of the people applying for jobs with you. If you’re doing things the right way, great people will be knocking down your door to get in.

Faced with the choice of a zombie apocalypse or being kidnapped to another galaxy and made to watch attack ads 10 hours a day, which would you choose and why?

‘The zombies.

Because my brother knows everything about them and knows what to do.’

Church opens in Arvada IF YOU GO

By Crystal Anderson canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Building a relationship is an essential part of any community, and for Storyline Fellowship, forming that bond is a driving force.

On Nov. 2, Storyline Fellowship, a new evangelical Christian church, will host the first of four preview services in the northwest Arvada community. Storyline welcomes all individuals and families to come and see their offerings held at West Woods Elementary School, 16650 W 72nd Ave.

WHAT: Preview Services: WHEN: Nov. 2, Dec. 7, Jan. 11 and 25 WHERE: West Woods Elementary School, 16650 W. 72nd Ave. TIME: 10 a.m.

“We want people to come, check it out and see if it fits as a church for their family,” said Lead Pastor, Ben Mandrell.

Located in the heart of some of the city’s newest developments, Five Parks, Candelas, Whisper Creek and West Woods, Mandrell said Arvada was an idyllic place for

Storyline.

“Northwest Arvada is a beautiful place to fall in love with,” he said. “With all of the new construction, the new homes and the movement of the city, we felt like it was a great place to start a church.”

Bible-based, the church will focus on building authentic relationships with attendees and showing support for others while they find who God has called them to be.

“We’re all about relationships,” Mandrell said. “We believe in allowing people to express their doubts, struggles and fears while finding support in other believers.”

Aside from weekly services, the church

will offer a full kids program with games, Bible stories and activities on Sundays, middle and high school ministries and adult small groups throughout the week.

“What really separates us is in its name, Storyline,” said Jessica Yates, who moved from Georgia to help start the church.

“There’s such a community and wanting to know people, to help them where they hurt. It’s relationship driven.”

The first preview service will be held at 10 a.m., Nov. 2, with subsequent previews in December and January. The church will begin hosting weekly services on Feb. 8.

County budget proposes pay increase Anticipated property tax assessments on the rise

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com The Board of County Commissioners approved the 2015 proposed budget for Jeffco last Tuesday, which is subject to additional review and adjustments before it is adopted in December.

But employee pay and benefits continue only sluggish improvements and the county is struggling to hold on to its employees in the process.

The turnover rate for county employees has increased significantly since 2012, from 10.5 percent to 17.7 percent for 2014, according to Holly Bjorklund, finance and IT director for Jeffco.

Of the totaled $481.2 million in expenditures for 2015, which saw a 1.4 percent increase compared to last year, more than half of the reported expenditures is for salaries and benefits. The county’s proposed operating expense for 2015 includes a 2 percent increase in salaries and a 5 percent

2015 JEFFCO PROPOSED BUDGET 2015 philosophies: General Fund • Maintain $25 million or more • Only used for one-time expenditures • Efficiently target spending • Salaries and Benefits • Maintenance Standards Realities: • Employee Retention • Increases in demand for services • Declining state and federal funding and unfunded mandates • Infrastructure and facility needs • Use of fund balances • Property assessments • Flood recovery and reimbursements increase in benefits.

“How will it help attrition?” Rosier asked county staff regarding the proposed percentage increases in pay and benefits.

“Over the last three years there have been two pay raises and the county paying for

quite a bit of the increase in benefits for health insurance, but yet we’re still seeing attrition occur at a greater rate,” he said.

Ralph Schell, county administrator, responded that surrounding cities and counties are budgeting for higher pay increases and predicts a 2 percent increase may be enough to keep employees with the county. “I’d like to hang on to as many people as we can and also be able to attract people and retain people,” Schell said. “I don’t have a specific number if you give two percent what the attrition rate will actually achieve.”

Rosier asked what makes other counties financial position better than Jefferson County but as Schell explained it is different situations for different counties.

“It’s very difficult to make that comparison,” Bjorklund said.

During a town hall meeting, Rosier met with county employees, he said, who told him it was leadership, not pay that causes workers to leave.

“Their comment was majority of the individuals, in fact one individual said 90 percent will say its dollars that their leaving, but it’s really their managers,” Rosier said.

OBITUARIES

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Choose the ‘best’ candidate I have been both a registered Republican and Democrat in my life. I am now a proud unaffiliated voter.

I want collaborative, nonpartisan representation by people who care more about the common good rather than being puppets to a party philosophy.

Unfortunately we unaffiliated voters have no organized means of putting forward a viable candidate to compete against the two major party candidates.

Therefore the unaffiliated voters must choose the “best” candidate that they think will take the middle of the road,

collaborate, and negotiate solutions. I believe in the state Senate race in District 19 Rachel Zenzinger stands out head and shoulders over her two opponents when it comes to experience, intelligence, strength of character and integrity.

I have seen her “buck” the system when needed and I have seen her negotiate reasoned solutions to complex political problems. Rachel is the person the unaffiliated voter should give strong consideration to because she is what they need to represent them.

ARVADA CITY COUNCIL ON THE RECORD The Arvada City Council voted on the following legislation during its Sept.

15 regular business meeting. Council members in attendance were Mayor Marc Williams, District 1 Councilman Jerry Marks, District 3 Councilman John Marriott, District 4 Councilman Bob Dyer, and Councilmen-At-Large Don Allard and Bob Fifer.

Mayor Pro Tem Mark McGoff was absent.

Excavation contract

Council passed (6-0) a resolution authorizing an agreement between the City of Arvada and Kiewit Building Group, Inc., for the early excavation package of the Olde Town Arvada parking garage in the amount of $6,430,393.

The early excavation of the future garage site will begin in November with fencing around the property, utilities located, with earthwork construction beginning in December and continuing through spring. Construction on this phase of the project is expected to be completed by spring 2015, with phase two construction immediately following.

Internet cafe moratorium

Council passed (6-0) an ordinance on first reading regarding an 18-month moratorium on internet sweepstakes cafes.

The moratorium allows for the city to investigate the regulations surrounding these businesses, which require patrons to purchase internet time in return for possible cash rewards or prizes.

During this moratorium city staff will prepare regulations governing such businesses.

2015 budget Council approved (6-0) the proposed biennial budget for fiscal year 2015.

This is the final adoption of the $191,615,037 2015 budget, and is the city’s first performance-based budget, that placed the council’s 30 strategic goals into one or multiple city departments.

In 2015 the city will have a fund balance reserve slightly over $16 million and will be adding 12.7 full time positions for the police, utilities and building departments.

The next Arvada City Council meeting will be 6 p.m., Monday, Nov. 3, at Arvada City Hall, 8101 Ralston Road.

Proposed budget highlights show forecasted revenues for the 2015 fiscal year to be an estimated $376.6 million, excluding interfund transfers of $88.3 million. This is a 0.7 percent increase compared to the $373.8 million in revenues expected to be received in 2014.

Updated property tax assessments are estimated to result in a $2 million increase per year. Financial forecasts show updated property tax assessment revenue increasing 1.5 percent for 2015, 6.0 percent for 2016 and 4.0 percent for 2018.

“I think it’s important to recognize we have a competitive market with cities and counties,” Commissioner Casey Tighe said. “What I like about the proposed budget that we’re starting off with now, is the fact that we aren’t taking a passive view of how we are going to manage the budget.”

City staff has created a more comprehensive approach to the budget, which highlights key areas of interest and goals for the county including philosophies, budget alignment and realities facing the county financially.

The 2015 proposed budget can be found at www.jeffco.us/budget-and-riskmanagement/.

The Edge produces Sam Shepard drama

By Clarke Reader

creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Scary comes in all shapes and sizes — sometimes it’s the sensation of being watched and other times it comes from the realization that things aren’t what they seem.

Sam Shepard’s 1979 Pulitzer Prize-winning family drama “Buried Child” dives behind the façade of a seemingly perfect WHAT: “Buried Child” family to WHERE: The Edge Theater plumb 1560 Teller St., Lakewood the WHEN: through Nov. 16 depths Friday and Saturday - 8 p.m. of Sunday - 6 p.m. depravCOST: $22-$26 ity that INFORMATION: 303-232-0363 or could be www.theedgetheater.com behind any locked door.

“Buried Child” plays at the Edge Theater, 1560 Teller St. in Lakewood, through Nov. 16. Show times are at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 6 p.m. on Sunday.

“I approach the show as seven orbs that keep colliding with each other,” said director Rick Bernstein. “The play is about love lost and passion lost for this one family.”

When Vince (Royce Wood) and his girlfriend Shelly (Missy Moore) come home to meet his family, Shelly is initially taken by a group of people she describes as something right out of a Norman Rockwell painting.

That image is quickly shattered when she meets grandparents Dodge (Dan Mundell) and Halie (Emma Messenger) — a pair of violent, alcoholics who are just the tip of the iceberg. Their

IF YOU GO

sons — Tilden (Robert Kramer) and Bradley (Brian Landis Folkins) — have their own demons. Tilden is developmentally challenged, and Bradley lost a leg to a chainsaw.

What follows is an exploration of secrets at the way they rot the core of every person.

The show also features Tim Fishbaugh as Father Dweis.

“I see the play as one full of contradictions,” said Mundell. “The characters are constantly uttering lies and contradictions and all these little things create a sense of insecurity, not only for the other characters, but in the audience as well.”

While the ending shows at least a glimmer of redemption, Mundell still describes the play as a macabre comedy that examines the changes in the American family.

“I think the family is representative of American society becoming so autonomous and ceasing to communicate,” Bernstein said. “Instead they communicate by assumption.”

For many people laughing — especially during inappropriate times — is the way to cope with uncomfortable situations, and both Bernstein and Mundell have heard a lot of that from audiences during performances.

“I think Shepard takes audiences to the far reaches of the darker side of personalities and you might think people aren’t like this,” Mundell said.

“But during any day I know I have some vicious thoughts in my mind, just like everyone else.”

“Buried Child” is Bernstein’s first time directing at The Edge and he only uses superlatives in the experience, especially working with the cast on their admittedly unlikeable characters.

“I told the actors not to talk to each other about their characters,” he said. “So much of the show is private and about secrets and I wanted them to maintain that.”

The viewing experience is one audiences can expect to hold onto long after the show is over.

“It’s a brilliant piece of theater and I think speaks to some issues in a very macabre, non-linear way,” Bernstein said. “You’ll leave the theater and keep thinking about it.”

The Taylor Estate, the highest-priced home in the Denver metro area, is up for sale for $27.7 million in Lakewood.

The 1932-built gated spread on the shores of Ward Lake was designed by renowned Denver architect Burnham F. Hoyt, who also designed Red Rocks Amphitheatre as well as landmarks such as the Denver Central Public Library and Colorado Capitol Annex Building.

According to reports, Hoyt once regarded this residence as the most beautiful home in America.

This 14-000-square-foot, 26-room manor house features a paneled library, banquet-size dining room, dual master suites with nine additional bedroom suites, 12 fireplaces and a staff wing.

The 122 acres include mountain views, century-old trees, a lake with a beach and boating privileges, a pool, tennis court, three staff cottages, stables, water rights and agricultural status.

Guests at this storied estate have included Denver high society, British royalty and assorted dignitaries. Prince Philip and Princess Anne of Great Britain chose to stay there as guests of the Taylors.

This property also includes a heated pool, tennis court, outdoor patios, a flower-cutting garden, dressage ring and stables.

2015 Restaurant Week set

The oh-so-popular Denver Restaurant Week (DRW), presented by Lexus and organized by Visit Denver, will revert to a single 10-day event in 2015, running Feb. 20 to March 1.

“We talked to restaurant owners, restaurant employees, diners, sponsors and restaurant week fans, and the consensus was that seven days of DRW was too short, but 14 consecutive days was too long,” said Justin Bresler, vice president of marketing for Visit Denver. “The perfect `best of both worlds’ compromise appears to be to run it for 10 days, encompassing two complete weekends in the traditional slow period of February.”

For Denver Restaurant Week’s 10th anniversary this year, at the request of participating restaurants, DRW was split into two separate weeklong events, one in February and one in late August.

“While summer restaurant week was popular with both restaurants and diners, the challenge going forward was to find a week that wasn’t already occupied by an existing event, holiday or a week that didn’t have a major convention,” Bresler said.

Late summer and fall are Denver’s busiest convention months.

“We really don’t want to bring 10,000 convention delegates to Denver and have them find that every restaurant is booked with DRW reservations,” Bresler said, adding that the restaurants also don’t want to be offering special DRW pricing at a time when there are thousands of hungry convention delegates in town.

“In the end, we couldn’t find workable dates for the summer event, and the consensus of opinion was to concentrate on the traditional February time frame,” Bresler said.

More than 300 restaurants participated in the 2014 winter DRW and more than 200 in the summer DRW, making this one

of the largest culinary celebrations in the nation.

Bresler stated that registration for restaurants for the 2015 DRW will begin Nov. 10 at www.denverrestaurantweek.com.

Participating restaurants again will offer a multi-course dinner for the fixed price of $30 per person. The list of participating restaurants and menus will be announced in mid-January.

Colorado hotels make list

Conde Nast Traveler just released its 2014 Readers’ Choice poll in the Best Hotels in the West category, and four Denver hostelries made the coveted list.

The historic Oxford Hotel, owned and operated by Sage Hospitality, earned the highest ranking at No. 4, followed by The Four Seasons Denver at No. 11, JW Marriott Denver Cherry Creek (another Sage property) at No. 14 and The Ritz-Carlton Denver at No. 15. But the very top spot on the list was awarded to The Sebastian in Vail, a quaint spot with awesome amenities.

“We are very excited to have these two

amazing Denver hotels once again be honored by one of the world’s top travel magazines,” said Sage president and CEO Walter Isenberg. “Both The Oxford and the JW Marriott Denver are very focused on offering guests a unique lodging experience and excellent customer service. This is a wonderful recognition of that commitment.”

Check out the rest of the rankings at www.cntraveler.com/readers-choiceawards/2014/united-states/best-hotels-inthe-west-readers-choice-awards-2014.

with Active Minds. Program is 1-4:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, at Eaton Senior Communities, 333 S. Eaton St., Lakewood.

To register, mail check ($35 per person) made out to “Eaton Senior Communities” to Eaton Senior Communities, 333 S. Eaton St., Lakewood, CO 80226. Tel: 303-937-3000. Be sure to include your contact info (including phone and e-mail) and write “Active Minds Bus Tour Nov. 6” on the check.

A-West, Ralston Valley both win openers Mustangs roll and Wildcats survive scare as teams advance in playoffs

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com DENVER - Over the past couple season Arvada West soccer has been looked at as one of the best teams in the state.

However, the team suffered first round knock-outs in the state tournament over the past two seasons by much higher seeds.

This season No. 17 A-West was on a mission to not only advance but to make a deep playoff run which they hope started with a 1-0 victory over No. 16 Montbello Thursday at All City Field.

A lone second half goal by senior Brandon Oeltjenbruns proved to be the game winner and junior goaltender Andy Fendel made five tough saves, helping the Wildcats advance to the Round of 16 where they faced Rock Canyon, Wednesday at 4:30 at Shea Stadium.

Ralston Valley rides momentum After winning its first 5A Jeffco league championship just days before, Ralston Valley soccer got a big playoff win beating Denver East 3-1 Thursday at North Area Athletic Complex.

Senior Jordan Quinlisk set the tone for the Mustangs by heading in a spectacular goal midway through the first half.

The Mustangs carried over the momentum from completing a perfect 7-0

But the combination of head coach

Faith Christian poised for playoffs Eagles offense is a monster but don’t forget about their D

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com ARVADA - Faith Christian football continued to roll with its 41-0 victory over Denver West Friday, at Faith Christian High School.

The Eagles overwhelmed the Cowboys almost immediately, and by the game’s end were playing backups and underclassmen, as they prepare for the state playoffs.

Faith Christian used a total team effort to dismantle Denver West as its junior quarterback Adam Buchanan was near perfect going 8-for-12 for 143 yards and two touchdowns.

Senior Jake Sanders was the recipient of both of those touchdown passes and he finished with 89 receiving yards off of five catches.

The versatile Eagles also used nine different running backs throughout the game, getting 60 yards off nine carried for junior running back Trevor Olsen.

Olsen also had two touchdowns and senior running back Daniel Landewisch added another, as the duo continued to terrorize its opponents.

Olsen and Landewisch, perhaps the state’s best running back combination in any classification, has combined for 1,190 rushing yards this season and 18 touchdowns.

Moreover, the duo accounts for an average of 170 rushing yards per game for the Eagles.

However, while everyone is talking about how good Faith Christian’s offense

Faith Christian’s offense has proven to be one of the best in the state. The Eagles are pictured moments before a touchdown scoring drive during their 41-0 victory over Denver West Friday at Faith Christian High School. Photo by Dan Williams is, its defense deserved a big chunk of the credit for their team’s success this season.

The Eagles’ defense has delivered four shutouts this season and has given up only 69 total points this season, giving up an av-

erage of just 7.6 points per game.

Credit unsung heroes like junior Nick Cortes for some of that formitable defense.

Cortes has five interceptions and a forced fumbles on his resume this season and is

one of the defense’s biggest playmakers.

Faith Christian will now enter the 2A state tournament as a No. 8 seed who will host No. 9 seeded Bayfield at a time and date yet to determined.

Wheat Ridge routs Golden rivalry game Farmers prepare for playoffs by stalling out Demon offense

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com LAKEWOOD - Golden’s football program has had a nice comeback this season.

But Wheat Ridge football is still the standard in 4A Jeffco.

And the Farmers brought their talent and experience to bear against the Demons in a 43-6 victory Friday at Jeffco Stadium.

But Friday night’s game was more than just your normal Wheat Ridge-Golden rivalry game, as the two schools came together with Lutheran Hospital to promote the first annual “Pink” football game.

The game honored breast cancer victims and survivors and despite Golden coming up a little short on the scoreboard the event was a huge success as the student sections from both schools were draped in pink.

“Lutheran is in our neighborhood and they asked us if we would be interested in

this kind of event and I told them we would love to do that,” Wheat Ridge athletic director Nick DeSimone said.

“Both schools coming together for something like this takes the edge of the competition and focuses on our community.”

Perhaps the start of what looks to be an annual tradition will renew a once strong rivalry that Wheat Ridge had dominated over the last decade — including on Friday night.

The Farmers jumped out to a big first quarter lead and took a 36-0 lead into halftime. Wheat Ridge road its horse in senior running back Jordan Jones who was dominant, rushing for 130 yards on just 12 carries and producing three touchdown runs.

In addition, senior defensive back Anthony Mcginnis was the defensive player of the game after he intercepted two and deflected three more.

And with just one regular season game left on its schedule Wheat Ridge improved to 6-3 (3-1 in league) under the leadership of first year head coach Dan Reardon.

The Farmers will wrap up their regular season when they play Denver South Fri-

Ponderosa soccer ends Wheat Ridge season Farmers already looking forward to next year

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com PARKER - Just when it was starting to look like Wheat Ridge was producing an upset in the making their fortunes once again quickly changed.

And in the matter of just a few minutes the No. 27 Farmers gave up a pair of goals to No. 6 Ponderosa who advanced with a 2-0 victory in the first round of the 4A state soccer playoffs Wednesday at Sports Authority Stadium.

And once again Wheat Ridge was tough luck losers in a game where they were in position to win. The Farmers had held their opponents to a 0-0 tie with only 15 minutes left in regulation when Ponderosa scored two goals.

Ponderosa senior David Patterson beat

Wheat Ridge goaltender Chase O’Dean for what proved to be the game-winning goal.

And a few minutes later freshman Colin Hester gave the Mustangs a 2-0 lead.

And just like that Wheat Ridge went from on the verge of a huge playoff upset to seeing its season ended. But tough luck isn’t something new to the Farmers this season. Actually it will go down as the theme for the 2014 season.

“We have just had such tough luck this season,” Wheat Ridge coach Tony Thomas said. “Right when we would start to get some traction or get some positive things happening for us it seemed like it quickly went the other way.

The Farmers finished 8-7-1 (4-5 in 4A Jeffco) good for fifth place in their league — an indication of how good 4A Jeffco is this season.

D’Evelyn, who finished a perfect 9-0 in league play as well as a 14-2 record, narrowly beat Wheat Ridge 2-1 on Sept. 18.

The Farmers proved this season they can compete with the elite teams in 4A classification soccer, but they never had

Broomfield sinks Lakewood in playoffs Tigers make great late push but fall in opener

Lakewood senior Juan Lujan battles for the ball with Broomfield’s Daulton Logan in the first round of playoffs in the Class 5A State Championships.

Lakewood ends the season with a 7-9 record.

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com BROOMFIELD - Lakewood soccer was swept out of the playoffs by Broomfield in a 3-0 loss Thursday at Broomfield High School.

The No. 21 Tigers made a brilliant late season push to put themselves in position to qualify for the playoffs but perhaps that push left nothing in the tank against the No. 12 Eagles.

Broomfield got goals from junior Cody Ewing, junior Porter Milner and senior Chris Sharkey, and while Lakewood had several scoring opportunities of its own the Tigers could never find the back of the net.

That is partially due to the play of Broomfield junior Michael Genge, who stopped all four of Lakewood’s shots on goal.

The Tigers finish their season with an under .500 record at 7-9 and 4-3 in 5A Jeffco. And while that resume seems modest, Lakewood did make an incredible run to get positioned to make the state tournament.

The Tigers opened the season by losing seven of their first nine games. However, most of those losses came in tightly contested games that Lakewood simply couldn’t find a way to win.

But just when it looked like Lakewood was going to struggle for the entirety of its season the Tigers got red hot and

reeled off four straight league victories beating Chatfield, Bear Creek, Standley Lake and Pomona.

Lakewood was led by junior Alejandro Avila who scored seven goals this season.

Junior goaltender Hector Moreno, who made 29 saves this season, will return in 2015 along with Avila to build off the Lakewood’s strong late season finish.

Expect the Tigers to be in the mix for a 5A Jeffco league title in 2015.

Kraft-Tharp aims for unity

By Clarke Reader

creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ask Rep. Tracy KraftTharp about her political party, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say that she just happens to be a Democrat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see myself as a representative, not a Democrat representative,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My main focus is being available because so many people I talk to want someone who is responsive to represent them.â&#x20AC;?

The incumbent is running for re-election in House District 29 after her first term because she says there Kraft-Tharp is a lot that still needs to be done, particularly in the areas of economic development, mental health care access and education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent a lot of time walking around the district and knocking on doors â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

which is one of my favorite things to do,â&#x20AC;? Kraft-Tharp said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been getting some amazing responses.

The No. 1 thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hearing is people concerned about the Jefferson County School Board, the second is people want a representative who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be partisan and they want someone to work on the jobs and economy.â&#x20AC;?

During her time in the legislature Kraft-Tharp has already tackled issues like mental health care access by bringing a crisis hotline to the state for those in need and focused on Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aerospace industries.

Despite the progress made, there is still a lot of work to be done on these and many more issues, as Kraft-Tharp readily admits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our unemployment rate is 4.7 percent which is great, but we still need to stabilize the economy because there are still too many unemployed,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Kraft-Tharpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opponent in the race, Republican Susan Kochevar, has not returned calls for comment.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was getting him to realize this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a place about addictions, but how a program can help him move past the stage of near homelessness,â&#x20AC;? Swihart said of his talks with Seymour about The Crossing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen in the future, but one by one heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acquiring those skills that will help him achieve those sufficiency goals that will get him there.â&#x20AC;?

Following this series of conversations, Seymour moved into The Crossing, an 18-month, five-phase program that helps individuals move beyond poverty and homelessness and become self-sufficient.

Seymour, along with other individuals and families who live there, learn computer, banking, management and sufficiency skills as well as making strides studying the Christian faith, while receiving emotional care and mental health counseling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At first I was kind of hesitant, I really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it would benefit me,â&#x20AC;? Seymour said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I think that if you really put your mind to it you can make it to the so-called finish line here.â&#x20AC;?

Now six-months into the program, Seymour said he can visibly see and feel a difference, something he hopes can help him become the father and husband he longs to be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to move on from my past and become a better father and husband for my wife,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as you put your faith in him (God) thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole lot better aspect of looking at things instead of doubting that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other options to chose from to better yourself.â&#x20AC;?

eligible voter was set to receive a mail-in ballot automatically. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eighty-two percent of us were permanent mail (in 2012), we were pretty much there,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said.

Critics have pushed back on the change to mail-in voting stating it is unsafe because it allows for opportunities for voter fraud. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is typically said by someone who is not aware or hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t researched the Colorado process regarding the signature verification and the integrity in it,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My experience has been itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very secure, and the process really does evaluate every ballot for its eligibility, and we communicate with voters directly,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Signatures are verified by computer, and by trained experts to match the current signature on the ballot to voter signatures on record. Red flags are usually raised for firsttime voters or young voters who are prone to change their signatures as they try to establish an identity, Anderson said.

Voters of flagged ballots are contacted, and asked about the discrepancy. Those that do not get back to the electionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s division regarding discrepancies with their signature, will have their ballot rejected and referred to the District Attorney for investigation. Common issues raised throughout the signature verification process include members of households signing for others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have to sign their own ballots,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said, and those exercising power of attorney does not apply.

Location for ballot drop off and voter service centers can be found online at www.votejeffco.com or by calling the elections division at 303-271-8111. On Election Day, polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mail-in ballots can be dropped off in person until 7 p.m. on Election Day.

A wonderful treat Event honors community member

By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com In honor of a beloved holiday and active community member, Justin Vicory, the Historic Olde Town Arvada (HOTA) is celebrating Halloween in safe, friendly and memorable style.

“Justin loved Olde Town and putting on all the events,” said DeDe Vicory, Justin’s wife. “It was in his heart … he was sure this Trick or Treat Street was going to the biggest Trick or Treat Street.”

Trick or Treat Street is Olde Town Arvada’s family-friendly Halloween event.

Held on Friday, Oct. 31, the celebration is an opportunity for children to become their favorite characters and stroll along the streets receiving candies and treats from local merchants.

Among the trick or treating, attendees can also participate in the costume contest or venture into the Eli Ashby Haunted House.

Organizers said they expect 1,500 to 2,000 costumed revelers at the event.

In late September, Justin passed away following a lengthy battle with melanoma.

To honor him, Miller and several HOTA members decided to dedicate this year’s Trick or Treat Street to his memory, as he played such a vital and passionate in it year after year.

“He really got into Trick or Treat Street and as a member of our board he planned the event one year, did Wizard of Oz one year and a pirate ship one year — he was one who did extra stuff for the event,” Miller said.

IF YOU GO WHAT: Trick or Treat Street WHERE: Olde Town Arvada Square, 7500 W. 57th Ave. and storefronts along Olde Wadsworth Boulevard, Grandview Avenue, and Grant Place WHEN: Friday, Oct. 31 TIME: 5 -7 p.m.

COST: $2 per child

From a mischievous pirate to the cowardly lion, Justin would delve deep into the heart of the event, strolling throughout Olde Town, handing out candy and interacting with his fellow costumed characters.

Following his passing, Dede said she wasn’t sure she could participate, but decided to BRING THIS COUPON FOR $1 OFF ADMISSION BRING THIS COUPON FOR $1 OFF AD after realizing this was something he wanted, and an event he heartily enjoyed.

“That was his passion,” she said. “It’s kind of like Olde Town is like Once Upon ND A Time and Storybrooke, you step in ST here and it takes you back to a different place ST ND and time.”

Miller and other volunteers are helping Dede, put together the couple’s annual Halloween display, a 1950’s sock hop, inside of The Wedding Seamstress, the couBUY - SELL - TRADE - NEW - USED - SELF-RELIANCE ple’s business.

“He was an active member of this community and of Olde Town,” Miller said. “He was so excited about the events coming up and then all of a sudden he was gone … It feels like the right thing BRING to do.” THIS COUPON FOR $1 OFF ADMISSION Vicory was an active member of the Arvada and Olde Town communities, and served on the HOTA board for four years.

He loved writing, helping others and spending time with his friends and family.

ST ND “I got the call this morning, and my BRING THIS COUPON FOR $1 OFF A heart — I just can’t explain it,” said a tearful DeDe after hearing about the dedication. “You always hope when someone dies Costumed children strolled the streets of Olde Town Arvada, stopping by participating retailers who handed out candy, during last year’s Trick or Treat Street. Photo by Crystal Anderson their name’s live on, and it is.”

FOR THE WEEK OF OCT 20 2014

GALLERY OF GAMES

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Caution dominates the Sheep’s monetary aspect this week. Rams and Ewes might want to shear their big spending plans until a more favorable financial picture begins to emerge by week’s end.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Thrift counts both at home and at work. So you might want to rethink major purchases or investments. Also, be wary of a so-called revelation about a previous decision.

& weekly horoscope

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Both household budgets and workplace accounts might benefit from some judicious trimming of unnecessary expenses. A partnership could lead to an unexpected challenge.

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A previously overlooked opportunity could re-emerge with a new travel-related matter. Check this out carefully to see if it’s what you really want before you decide one way or another.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) This could be the start of a new career-changing phase, so start marking down your many accomplishments for those who need to know how much you have to offer. Good luck.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) It’s not too early for the sometimes procrastinating Virgo to start making those long-distance travel plans. The sooner you decide where to go, when to go and how to go, the better.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Financial matters once again figure in any major action you might take regarding career, travel or other endeavors. You’ll want a ready reserve to help you back up those moves.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Trying to resolve a problem in a personal relationship could be more difficult than you’d expected. Look into the possibility that someone might be interfering for his or her own reasons.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A project you once rejected might be more attractive because of changes that you feel you can now work with. The weekend is especially favorable to family matters.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) This is a good week for the gregarious Goat to enjoy being with people you care for. You might even want to show off those creative kitchen skills you’re so adept at.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A colleague might think your attitude is patronizing or even outright insulting. True. That might be his or her problem. But you might want to take some reassuring steps anyway.

PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE AS TO PROPOSED 2015 BUDGETS AND NOTICE AS TO AMENDED 2014 BUDGETS

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) It’s a good time to jettison those old concepts about a family matter you might have been holding on to. This will help make room for a new and more enlightened way of dealing with it.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a proposed budget has been submitted to the MOUNTAIN SHADOWS METROPOLITAN DISTRICT (the “District”) for the year of 2015.
