A national campaign to reduce gun violence received a boost Oct. 11 when Golden became the first municipality to officially support efforts to close loopholes in gun background checks.

Golden City Council voted 7-0 to pass a resolution supporting the national Fix Gun Checks Act after hearing public testimony from an Aurora theater shooting survivor, as well as local NRA members.

“I’m very thankful to be here to share my story tonight,” shooting victim Stephen Barton told council.

“I remember the tear gas canister flying across the theater,” Barton began, relating the story about how one night out at the movies during a cross-country trip became a horror show.

Barton said after experiencing “the blinking light of his muzzle and the blinding pain of shotgun pellet” that tore into his face and chest, he received numerous condolences from state and federal lawmakers.

“And while those (condolences) were appreciated, I was told that it was simply too soon to talk about guns, out of respect for me and the other survivors and victims. But in reality, it was too late,” he said.

Barton became a spokesperson for the Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group that purports to seek gun law reforms that respect the Second Amendment while reducing gun violence.

“I don’t think we should take guns away from law abiding citizens. But I do think we should do a better job

of taking them out of the hands of those who should not have them,” Barton said, stating that 34 Americans a day are murdered with firearms.

The Fix Gun Checks Act seeks to accomplish that goal, requiring better reporting of criminal and mental status to the national gun check database, as well as requiring all private gun sales to also go through the background check process.

Golden resident Charlie Sturdavant also spoke before the council, identifying himself as a lifelong National Rifle Association member and a gun safety instructor. He said that no strengthening of background checks would stop people from going insane or from keeping criminals from using illegal channels to get firearms.

“But the fix gun checks act, I can support that,” Sturdavant said Still, he cautioned the council about supporting “other measures” that may be endorsed by gun control advocates.

“Those other measures might mean trampling on our Second Amendment rights,” Sturdavant said.

District 1 Councilor Saoirse Charis-Graves, who said she served as a first responder at the Columbine school shooting, was the one to make the motion to accept the resolution, which passed unanimously.

Across Colorado, there have been 13 mayors (including Lakewood’s Bob Murphy) who have joined the Mayors Against Illegal Guns coalition, though only Golden has passed a supporting resolution to date.

“But I believe there will be following resolutions,” said Golden Mayor Marjorie Sloan.

City celebrates many highlights Golden’s mayor delivers State of the City and annual awards

By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@ourcoloradonews. com Many of Golden’s best and brightest gathered at the Fossil Trace Clubhouse Oct. 10 to check what condition their city was in.

The prognosis, according to Mayor Marjorie Sloan, is rather excellent.

By any measure, Sloan said, it was quite a year for the city, with visitors ranging from Buffalo Bill lookalikes, professional cyclists, a barefoot girl, a veteran newsman, a sitting president, “and several bears.”

“Next year with the coming of light rail (April) and the continuation of the Golden Vision 2030 plan, we’ll have another phenomenal year,” she said.

Looking ahead, Sloan said the city was in good financial shape, which she called remarkable considering the wider economy.

“Golden stands at the crossroads, both literally and figuratively,” Sloan said, referring to the intersection of Highway 93, and U.S. Route 6.

“For years we have stood up to those who wanted to push through a super highway,” Sloan

said, referring to the city’s ongoing opposition to the Jefferson Parkway project to complete the 470 ring road, due to concerns about congestion and noise damaging the city’s quality of life.

During her speech, Sloan indicated the city’s leadership may be ready to enter into a new phase of negotiations with parkway supporters, including Jefferson County commissioners. She said at recent community outreach meeting that city residents seemed to be telling the Golden City Council to support the idea of restarting negotiations about the parkway, to create “thoughtful, regional transportation planning.”

Mayor’s Awards for Excellence

Sloan’s city report was only half the evening, however, as she turned the spotlight to the eight recipients of this year’s Mayors Awards for Excellence, for individuals she said had demonstrated “a commitment to community to really exceptional levels.”

Carrie Bazewicz was recognized for her years of volunteer work and contributions to Golden schools, particularly implementing the Environmental Learning for the Future (ELF) program at Mitchell Elementary.

Dan Dwyer was awarded for his leadership in twice bringing

Former city mayor, and Colorado School of Mines sports hall of fame inductee, Marv Kay was recognized by award presenter Dennis Neumayer as “Golden’s goodwill ambassador,” and a mentor to many of the city’s civic leaders.

“For her quiet but unflagging efforts toward implementing the Golden vision,” Tracy Evanko was given an award. She was credited with being a founding member of the Golden Resource for Education, Art and Theater group (Movies and Music in the Park), as well as leading the effort to purchase the 14-acre Bachman parcel in 2010, for park usage.

Award winner Julie Kerwin helped establish the Coyote Run 5k run, raising funds that substituted revenue that would have come from unhealthy food vending machines in Shelton Elementary.

Greg Poulos, the founder and current chair of the Golden Schools Foundation was also honored.

“It’s energizing, personally, to see the community supports the goals of the foundation,” Poulos said after the event.

Ted Rains was given an award for spearheading the Golden Optimists bicycle recycle program for 33 years, overseeing more than 6,000 bicycle donations to needy folks from School of Mines freshmen, to people in Haiti and Tanzania.

The Business of the Year went

to mother-daughter duo Kathleen Callender and Heather Callender-Potters for their Golden business PharmaJet, which has the opportunity to reduce costs, side effects, and pain across the world with their needle-free vaccination devices.

Callender-Potters said the 20-employee business began in her mother’s office above her Golden home’s garage.

“It’s a huge honor, and makes us feel very special to receive this public recognition,” Callender-Potters said.

October 18, 2012

Shops for immigrants aren’t strictly business Indira Torres stands behind the counter, mahogany hair neatly pulled back, ready for the steady flow of requests.

“How are you?” she asks in Spanish as a man in paint-spattered pants, a camouflage Air Force hat tipped back on his head, walks through the door.

“Muy bien, gracias a Dios,” he says.

Very well, thanks be to God. He hands his check to Torres to cash.

A young mother pushes a stroller inside and gives Torres $40 to pay toward her light bill. Torres taps in the woman’s information on the computer and applies it electronically.

An older man pays for a calling card to Mexico. A young woman adds $3 on a rechargeable phone account. A daughter sends her retired parents, in their 70s and in Mexico, several hundred dollars for living expenses. A son wires his mother — and a sister — also in Mexico, enough money “so that they won’t lack for anything.”

This small storefront, in a Latino market that sells the fond tastes of once-upon-a-time lives, has become a one-stop shop that helps preserve the connection between the old country and the new one. It also provides the financial services essential to begin planting stable roots here.

It’s like a warm, comfortable home, says Mayra Saldana, a petite 28-year-old Littleton resident who with her parents owns the Littleton store and another in Denver that adjoins a restaurant. “We provide the services where we can send money to their families and, as well, commonly used ingredients for Hispanic dinners.”

Food for the soul in every way.

The businesses, throughout the Denver metro area, nearly shout their services in bold-colored lettering in Spanish to passersby — money transfers, checkcashing, calling cards, money orders.

Like Saldana’s two places, many share space with restaurants, small neighborhood markets or convenience stores that

sell everything from piñatas and cowboy boots to pico de gallo and baptismal candles. One, on Federal Boulevard in Denver, advertises its services in a jewelry store.

The stores are a cultural reference point for many Latino immigrants, says Laszlo Kalloi, community affairs consul for the Mexican Consulate in Denver. He notes that consulate officials encourage the use of traditional bank services, rather than the private businesses, because more financial options are offered. But the neighborhood locations and absence of a language barrier make them feel more comfortable, he says. “They know the system and it’s easier.”

Walking through the doors is like stepping into another country, one with mariachi or cumbia music soft in the background, freshly baked pan dulce on trays and Spanish CDs and DVDs on the racks.

The sweet-spicy hot tamarind candy and crispy homemade chicharrones take me back to my growing-up years in Mexico and the other Latin American countries we lived in when my parents worked for then-United Fruit Co., which produced Chiquita bananas. The nostalgic warmth of memories tease my heart for the culture I love deeply, and I can only imagine how it must remind many how far they are from home.

And, yet, maybe not so far, at least for a few moments, with the assistance of people like Indira Torres, 27, who drives six days a week from her house near I-70 and I-25 to Las Huertas Mexican market.

She doesn’t mind the commute to Littleton. “I am happy here because I know

these people. I feel like this is my second home.”

With a kind smile, she deftly works the computer like a magician. She knows how to make the transfer happen, which calling card to suggest and how to exchange cash for money orders to pay the rent.

She gets the job — all the jobs — done.

For construction workers. Restaurant waiters and busboys. Mostly men, but some women, too. Mostly from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.

But also some from India, Saudi Arabia and Africa. They all come, many weekly, to conduct their financial transactions with confianza, Torres says.

Trust.

That is why Veronica Vargas, 37, on a recent afternoon, walked in after her restaurant shift to send money to her family

in Mexico. Trust — and the language — make it “easier.”

She is one of 10 siblings and also has many nephews and nieces. She tries to help her parents out the most, but “I help them all,” she says. “Not always, because sometimes, I can’t. But a little bit.”

These are the stories Torres hears every day as she facilitates the connection from the home in the new country to the home in the old country. Money sent to buy medicine, to help build a house, to make life a little better.

Stories about the bond that transcends the miles — love.

Walkability and the budget North Golden neighborhood pedestrian access takes center stage

By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com A group of Golden residents made sure its want of bicycle and pedestrian routes would not be forgotten as the City Council works on finalizing the 2013 budget.

“Crossing at 93 at Golden Gate Canyon Road is dangerous for an adult, let alone for our children,” said Kevin Moore, the first of nine Canyon View subdivision residents that spoke to council Oct. 11.

The group of north Golden residents all spoke about the need for a more walkable, or bike-able route from their homes.

In particular, they mentioned the lack of a signaled crossing at Pine Ridge Road, the lack of sidewalks along Golden Gate Canyon Road, and the dangers of crossing Highway 93 as primary problems.

“Our girls would like to walk to school occasionally, but it’s just not possible,” Canyon Point parent Shelley Wilson said.

Another Canyon View resident, Lisa Andreas said she stopped walking recently after a car came within inches of hitting her on Golden Gate Canyon Road.

Pedestrian improvements for that area of Golden had been on the council’s radar, listed as a desired improvement of the North Neighborhood’s Plan.

Prices had already been estimated for a sidewalk along Golden Gate Canyon Road ($80,000) or an extension of the Tucker Gulch trail system, including a bike path underpass beneath Highway 93 ($240,000). Both options were discussed by the council as potential additions to

the city’s 2013 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP).

“I really would like to hear everybody’s response to the community, because last week I was alone in suggesting this (sidewalk plan),” 3rd Ward Councilman Bob Vermeulen said.

Council members Marcie Miller, District 2, and Saoirse Charis-Graves, District 1, both said they had both visited the area in person after last week’s discussion, and were more likely to make it a priority for the CIP budget.

“There’s not even a shoulder, and there’s not even a ditch. There’s really no place to go at all,” Charis-Graves said.

“We voted for it (Canyon Point). We approved it. We have the responsibility to make that connection,” said William Fisher, Ward 4.

Even before the public show of support from Canyon Point residents and the City Council, the city staff had placed the more expensive Tucker Gulch trail extension and underpass project on the city’s capital improvement project schedule, to be built in 2016.

“I think that would be a huge addition to our trail system, and it would see a lot of traffic,” City Manager Mike Bestor said.

Bestor told council that it might be possible to shift the project even earlier, possibly to 2013-14 depending on what other CIP projects council might be willing to delay in its stead.

Bestor said future budget hearings were planned for the regular council meetings on Oct. 25 and Nov. 1. He said no decisions would be set in stone until the Dec. 6 council meeting.

“It’s a democratic process, and there’s obviously more demand than there is money,” he said.

Homesellers: Discover How You Can Get Your Asking Price, or More Jefferson County-- When you decide to sell your home, setting your asking prices is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home, price is often the first he or she sees, and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers at not being in the appropriate price range before they’re even given a chance of showing.

Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression”, and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make a good first impression.

This is not as easy as it sounds, and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing is too high can be as costly to a home seller as pricing to low. Taking a good look at what homes in your neighborhood have sold for is only a small part of the process, and on

it’s own is not nearly enough to help you make the best decision.

A recent study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want (and Need)”. This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three different angles. When taken together, this information will help you price your home to not only sell, but sell for the price you want.

Golden is hoping to gear up, bidding for a third year of hosting some portion of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge.

Councilor Marcie Miller, District 2, made the motion directing the city’s Local Organizing Committee, chaired by Julie Brooks and Dan Dwyer, to send a city bid to the organizers of the race.

The week-long professional cycling event will likely be held near the end of August again for 2013.

The event has become a major draw for international athletes, and has attracted Tour de France and Olympic champions in years past.

The council’s motion specifically left one detail

of the city’s bid up to the committee — whether to ask for Golden to be a startline city, or to increase the involvement to participate in a time trial, or finish line event.

The 2012 route had Golden featured only as a starting point for stage 6 of the race. Spectators wanting to see more of the day’s racing either had to leave the city, or watch it on television.

“These people (Dwyer and Brooks) did a great job getting a huge turnout, but the riders were here for only eight minutes.”

Dwyer said a finish line, time trial, or even a finish and start (ending one stage and beginning the next) would bring much more attention and spectator interest to Golden.

“But obviously the requirements to pull off a

Budget reflects economy First draft of the 2013 budget goes public

By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com

A first draft of the 2013 Jefferson County budget shows the size of county government shrinking.

Jeffco Budget Director Christina Caputo presented a first draft Oct. 9 of county staff’s proposed $472.6 million budget, representing a $3.7 million decrease from 2012, to the Board of County Commissioners.

She gave a similar budget presentation to the public on Tuesday, Oct. 16.

Caputo said the decrease is due in large part to a 1.3 percent drop in property tax revenue — the county’s largest source of revenue.

“We’ve been prepared for that, making cuts early,” Caputo said, adding that future property value reassessments would hopefully providing increased revenue.

Other revenue sources, especially investment and rental income, are “very conservatively forecasted” in the budget Caputo said.

The county commissioners are scheduled to discuss the budget in greater detail in the coming weeks, with a final budget adoption on Dec. 4. The draft budget document is available on the county web site at jeffco.us/budget.

While the budget is slightly smaller, it does call for four new full-time positions to be added to county government. The new positions are for a facilities electrician, painter for the Sheriff’s Department faciltities and two new Human Services Department em-ployees to handle community assistance programs.

Combined with the 4.6 full-time equivalent positions that were created over the course of 2012 and Caputo said the net change from the approved 2012 ebudget would be 8.6 positions. That would place the ntotal number of county positions at 2,895.6.

“No funding allowances have been made for salary increases,” Caputo told the commissioners, meaning no cost of living, or merit raises for county employees.

Per the county commissioners’ guidelines, the budget includes funding for Jeffco to cover half of exepected health benefit increases for employees. ” A trouble spot on the 2013 budget is the Road and Bridge Fund, where additional tax revenue sources are being allocated from the general fund, to help fund ongoing needs. Caputo warned that draining general fund resources to cover road and bridge opherations would not be sustainable for multiple years. t The county plans to increase capital improvement spending in 2013, with $38.3 million in projects.

Some of the bigger projects include work on Quincy lAvenue from Kipling Street to Wadsworth Boulevard .and Chatfield Avenue from Garrison Street to Ken Caeryl Avenue, as well as a $4 million mandatory upgradeing of Jeffco’s voting system.

The county commissioners and Caputo noted that

Heinie Foss turns 95 Golden native enjoying retirement, his home, baked goods

By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com It was a pretty good week for Heinie Foss. On Oct. 7 he was surrounded by about 40 family and friends to celebrate his 95th birthday.

“It was big. We had a lot of people,” Foss said.

Family Is Why We’re Here!

John H. Gale, MD | Brittany S. Vaughn, MD | Craig Kilpatrick, MD | Jill Fons, PA-C

His weekly luncheon with his old Golden High School classmates at the Briarwood was Thursday, Oct. 11. The next day he enjoyed one of those oversized blueberry muffins and a cup of warm coffee at his favorite lunch spot, Café 13. Last, but not least, his good friend Marv Kay had set aside tickets so he could go watch the School of Mines Orediggers football team play on Saturday.

Such is the life of Heinie Foss, the son of Henry Foss, who opened up a small pharmacy on Washington Avenue in 1915. That pharmacy would grow into an iconic Golden business, dominating the corner of Washington and 13th Street for nearly 100 years.

Heinie Foss, who attended pharmacy school to follow in his father’s footsteps, would also become a World War II Air Force pilot, cattle rancher, horse breeder, home developer, and eventually, a grandfather.

The Foss Drug closed after 90-plus years, it is now the Foss Building and the space has been divided into rental units. Heinie Foss long retired, but he still remains engaged in Golden life.

“Golden’s got a certain something,” he said. “It’s just natural, not too big here. We never thought about living anywhere else.”

Asked how he is staying busy nowadays, Foss replied, “I don’t know, but it seems easy.”

Family caregiver John Anders says that “Pops” keeps up a regular schedule of activities, such as attending multiple School of Mines sporting events.

“We used to sit in the student section until a few years ago. It gets rowdy,” Anders said.

Then there are the frequent visits to Café 13, where Foss and Anders are on a first-name basis with the entire staff.

“This is a warm place,” Foss says in an authoritative tone, with a half-eaten blueberry muffin perched on his plate. “And they have the best baker.”

Recently, a Café 13 employee was married at the Foss home, up Crawford Gultch. The flower girl presented Foss with a cinnamon roll, Anders said.

Foss waves off any attempt to talk about the accolades from the community that he has received. He said just being able to help the community was its own reward.

“There is a lot of satisfaction in that,” he said.

cmonroe@ourcoloradonews.com Backpacks filled with new school supplies, hygiene products and books were secured in cardboard boxes stacked high in the Jeffco Public Schools warehouse in Lakewood on Oct. 12.

Homeless liaisons from 30 school districts across the state were picking up some of the 2,300 backpacks for their students. According to the most recent numbers from Jeffco schools, the district has almost 2,800 homeless students. Of those identified 300 got a new backpack.

“It’s a touching experience bringing all of us together,” said Jessica Hansen, Jeffco’s homeless liaison.

Dana Scott, state coordinator for education of homeless children and youth, said as of the latest count, 201011 school year, Colorado has 21,487 children experiencing homelessness. That number is three times what the count was during the 2003-04 school year.

Scott said this year was the first time the number of homeless children in the United States has passed the one million mark.

“All of this really speaks to the importance of intervention,” Scott said. “So kids can be in class seats ready to learn.”

She explained for a lot of homeless students school is the only stable environment they have and the backpacks, school supplies and hygiene products might be the only thing they get to own.

Of bringing so many homeless liaisons from across the state together in one place for the same cause, Hansen said the distribution day was encouraging.

“We get re-energized when we all get to come together,” she said, “to meet the

needs of the greater good for all kids.”

The packs were provided by Feed the Children, a nonprofit group bringing aid to homeless children in school. Many volunteers from Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters USA, a division of AmeriCorps, helped pack the supplies into the backpacks and onto trucks for delivery.

This is the sixth year the program has given out the backpacks, and for the last five years Jeffco has donated its warehouse as the location for the other homeless liaisons to come get the backpacks for the schools.

A student is identified as homeless by the McKinney-Vento homeless Assistance act, which states a child lacking a fixed nighttime residence is classified as homeless. This includes children living with friends or relatives, in hotels or motels, emergency shelters or transitional housing programs.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

OUR VIEW

Perlmutter for re-election The frank and spirited debates between incumbent congressman Ed Perlmutter and Republican challenger Joe Coors speak well for the 7th Congressional District. The two have endured a busy forum schedule with plenty of appearances for voters to listen and compare. In contrast, turnout for many state House and Senate forums have been checkered — but that is different matter.

As for the 7th, we give the nod to Perlmutter on balance and results. Perlmutter has performed well and should keep his place in Washington.

Perlmutter has the right idea for the Affordable Health Care Act, dubbed Obamacare. Perlmutter said it needs work — not dumping — and there are some things about the act that will need to be fixed — many of these items he notes are unknown until all aspects of the act have had time to play out after they go into effect in 2014.

The fact that both Coors and Perlmutter generally agree on allowing parents to keep their children on their health insurance policies until age 26 and share other concerns about health care shows that the act has some good and should not be put on the scrap heap, as suggested by some political factions.

We know Coors says “yes” and Perlmutter says “no” to extending the Bush tax cuts. Perlmutter is open to some adjustment upward of the $250,000 salary benchmark for the specified tax. Each says the other is dead wrong on whether the eliminating the cut will cause job loss with affected high income business owners. On this matter, we urge Perlmutter to come over to the Coors side a little bit and further consider impacts of employment through higher taxes for higher income earners.

If presidential candidate Mitt Romney wins, Perlmutter will be pressed on this issue, but we know he has the skills to find good compromises. By the same token Coors would need to open up his compromise skills as opposed to his view in one debate we watched where he called keeping the tax cut a compromise in itself.

Regardless of which way the party pendulum swings, we believe Perlmutter has the best perspectives on the needs of the region. He is quick to see things that need to be fixed, such as recently joining with other lawmakers to support a repeal of a pending 1099 requirement. The change would lead to a flood of paperwork for business owners in 2012 being required to file 1099s to any individual or corporation in addition to contracted workers from which they buy more than $600 in goods and services in a year.

Coors has a strong backbone of beliefs, impressive experience in business, and we admire his work in the community. The district will be well served whichever man wins. Perlmutter works hard to connect with his constituents, and he is recognized often for his pragmatism — or in plain words — his ability to work all corners of a room. He is very quick to cut to the details and find answers. In a race with two good candidates, we give the nod to Perlmutter to stay on the job.

This one is different This one is different.

Sadly, not very long ago, I found myself writing about another tragedy.

The massacre at the Aurora movie complex this summer was an unbelievable assault of madness and evil.

But, somehow, we understood that one. It was a random act, indiscriminate in its violence, and shocking more for its scale than its particulars.

And though it does nothing to allay the tragedy for the families and friends, we’ve become so used to this sort of thing that we knew, in a macabre way, how to deal with that one.

This one is different.

This one is personal.

The abduction and murder of Jessica Ridgeway has gotten under our skin.

talking about it, and you can feel it weighing on the community like a wet blanket.

This is one extraordinary act of pure cruelty perpetrated against one innocent, helpless representative of our community, and it strikes at the core of who we are.

In whatever small way we are all still childlike, hopeful, and wide-eyed at the world around us, Jessica Ridgeway looks like how that part of our psyches would look.

The official Missing posters betray none of the cynicism, the disappointment, or the caution that mark the visages of the people we see on the streets every day.

This one is personal.

I have an 11-year old; she has curly hair and wears glasses. This could have been her. The field where the body was found is a field I have ridden past on my bike dozens of times.

The neighborhood where this happened is one in which I spent six years teaching.

This one is different.

This isn’t the act of a madman shooting out randomly from the darkness.

This was just down the street, around the corner, right in front of the house where the kids play football after school.

She was hunted, chosen based on a particularly twisted criteria, and taken from the heart of our neighborhood sanctuary.

If the Aurora theater was an explosive expres-

sion of evil overwhelming one man’s soul, this one is the quiet, insidious expression of evil that grows and festers, watching and waiting for a moment to rattle us off our equilibrium.

And I use the word “evil” advisedly—I don’t throw it around willy-nilly.

It just seems that way, perhaps, because of how often we have been visited by it lately.

And rattled, we are.

This is “Criminal Minds” territory: We have, among us, someone capable of taking a 10-year old girl from her neighborhood and cutting her to pieces.

Somewhere this demon is sitting by, amused by the coverage of his carnage, planning his next grim Bacchanal.

History tells us that there’s a decent chance that he will not be found any time soon; history also teaches that the community will play a leading role in his capture.

This one is different— carrying on as if nothing happened is not an option.

There is no way to ever regain our equilibrium around this one, but we can move forward smarter. Louis Pasteur said, “Chance favors the prepared mind;” so let’s prepare.

My friend Jay runs A.P.E. Stranger Awareness; he goes into schools and meets with kindergarteners and teaches them to recognize and respond to danger; he also meets

with teens and adults and teaches them where, how and how hard to hit somebody who is trying to harm them.

Also, there are several outstanding martial arts schools in the area, including the headquarters of the United States Taekwon-Do Federation in Broomfield.

But, more than that, it falls to all of us to recommit to our children.

As a man who “survived” a youth spent playing such dangerous games as Dungeons and Dragons (I know—I’ve told you before that I’m a geek!), I firmly believe that evil really only grows in a vacuum.

A mind, a house, a school, a community filled with love and compassion and connectedness leaves no space for this to thrive.

At the very least, it recognizes the smell of something outside the ordinary.

It’s time to circle the wagons around our children, and strengthen our communities.

And, you know what else?

We need to pray. For the family, for the school, and for the soul of little Jessica Ridgeway, and for us. In whatever form that takes for each of us as individuals, we need to call on God and all the forces for good to help us become the people that repel this sort of thing, and to give us the courage to confront it and end it.

We owe that much to Jessica.

BRING THIS AD FOR $1.00 OFF

If the majority of those in a recent Denver Post opinion poll think that it is wrong for Mitt Romney to criticize a sitting president regarding his foreign policy, who then would be allowed to do so?

Should criticism of such policy then be off limits for all, and, if so, be made subject to penalties under the law? Should criticism of other government actions be similarly restricted? Should the First Amendment provisions that allow citizens to freely petition their governments be so neutered as the proponents of this year’s Amendment 65 wish?

Can we ultimately have government with no accountability?

JEFFCO NEWS IN A HURRY Clear Creek trail grant continues

Jefferson County commissioners gave final approval to a grant agreement between the county, Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) and Clear Creek County.

That grant agreement is to provide Jefferson and Clear Creek counties $4.6 million for the Clear Creek Canyon segment of the Peaks to Plains Trail under the River Corridors Initiative.

Jeffco’s portion of the award is $1,802,288 with a match in partnership pledges from Jeffco Open Space Foundation; the cities of Golden, Wheat Ridge, Lakewood and Arvada; Apex and Prospect Recreation Districts; and the nonprofit Team Evergreen and Jeffco’s Open Space sales tax revenues.

Construction is scheduled to start next year.

During the threeyear construction period, an estimate of $4,542,832 from the Open Space Fund and partnership contributions will cover costs associated with the design and construction of a regional trail from the Jefferson County line in Clear Creek Canyon to the Mayhem Gulch Trailhead

CDOT prepares for winter

Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) maintenance crews in the Denver metro area report they “have dusted off their winter boots, gloves and snow plows in anticipation for the first significant snowfall,” according to the department’s latest press release.

CDOT reports 248 roadway maintenance workers will be on-call, even over weekends and holidays, to work 12-hour shifts, to keep roads clear of snow and ice.

CDOT’s maintenance crews will have about $6.6 million in state funding to plow, sand and de-ice 3,850 lane miles of Interstates, freeways and state highways.

CDOT strongly encourages motorists to plan ahead by visiting www. cotrip.org or by calling 511 anywhere in Colorado.

Current road and weather conditions are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week via the website and phone.

You can also sign up for free e-mail and text message alerts by visiting www.coloradodot.info and clicking on the cell phone icon in the upper right corner under the search function.

Standard text-message rates apply.

Below are a few winter driving tips from CDOT: • Be sure to carry plenty of windshield wiper fluid as liquid deicers may stick to your windshield.

• Let the snowplow drivers do their jobs by giving them extra room, and don’t pass on the right.

• Slow down. Even roads that have been treated with liquid deicers may be slippery.

• Be prepared. Have a scraper, snow brush, coat, hat, gloves, blanket, first aid kit, flashlight, tire chains, matches, water and nonperishable food in your car.

• Make sure your tires have good tread.

• Don’t use cruise control when driving in inclement weather

A Night Of Exceptional Art

Event fundraising goal falls short

By Cassie Monroe cmonroe@ourcoloradonews.com Attendees of the second Native American powwow held at Red Rocks Community College said it was a moving event.

The Sept. 29 event was held at the Lakewood campus, 13300 W. Sixth Ave., with the goal of raising funds for the Native American scholarships available at the school.

According to Angelina Archuleta, event coordinator, there was not enough money raised to fund a scholarship.

So instead, the money raised will be used for another powwow next year, she said.

She was not able to provide the amount of money raised.

According to the head woman dancer, Monae Gooden, in addition to the thousands of community members at the powwow, a large flock of eagles were seen flying overhead.

The faculty and staff gathered on the grounds of the college said they rarely saw an eagle near the campus, and had never seen a flock of that size.

“That’s our power, that’s our strength,” Gooden said.

The powwow at RRCC started last year with the Native American student club.

The club has since disbanded, but Michele Haney, president of the college, said she wanted to keep the tradition going.

Powwows honor Na-

tive American culture and heritage through traditional dress, dancing, drumming, singing and food.

The term comes from the Algonquian word pawwaw, which means spiritual leader.

Members of the Powwow Trail, a group that travels to different tribal gatherings across the country, participated in the powwow.

Gooden, who used to travel and dance on the trail, said the Lakewood location was one of the best she had seen.

“It was a beautiful environment,” she said.

A traditional powwow starts with blessing the sacred circle, where the ceremony is held.

Gooden said first the dancers make sure the children and the elders have everything they need and are comfortably seated before the powwow begins.

According to Gooden they are the most important members of the culture.

Then the Native Americans participating begin the drumming and dancing.

“The drum is the heartbeat of the culture,” Gooden said. “Without that heartbeat we do not exist.”

Archuleta does not dance in the powwows but she does help with the preparation.

She helped braid hair and dress others in traditional regalia.

There were also dance contests, storytelling, games, activities, door prizes and vendors selling traditional food, jewelry and crafts.

Boulder bombs on booze biz

Snapshots of the nuclear age

Rocky Flats Cold War Museum traces history

By Clarke Reader

Rocky Flats may be closed, but its effects still cast a shadow.

In an effort to offer a place for discussion from all parties, and to show all generations what the birth and progression of the nuclear age looked like, the Rocky Flats Cold War Museum has opened in Olde Town Arvada, 5612 Yukon St. “We want to show the story of Rocky Flats from multiple perspectives — the environmental issues, the life of the workers and the people who protested it,” said Conny Bogaard, project manager. “The goal is to build a platform where the community can come together to examine the legacy.”

The museum’s inaugural exhibit is “Behind the Atom Curtain: Life and Death in the Nuclear Age,” an Atomic Photographers Guild collection of photos of the landscapes, people and aftermaths of nuclear testing and power plants. The exhibit runs through Nov. 30.

The exhibit is curated by Robert Del Tredici, the founder of the Atomic Photographers Guild, and features not only photos of the history of Rocky Flats, but also of the Trinity Explosion in Alamogordo, N.M., and photos from Yoshito Matsushige, the only photographer allowed to photograph Hiroshima

Is Boulder crying in its beer? While the city may have thought it would get the only Trader Joe’s in Colorado with a liquor license, Denver snagged that shot.

When both stores open next year, Denver customers will be able to buy liquor and check out in an attached area of the store. The grocery and liquor sections will share a common entrance, but liquor sales must be completed separately.

How did Denver grab the liquor biz from Boulder?

“We’re a better and bigger market so they can sell more (liquor) here,” said a source close to the deal. “Our process (to obtain a liquor license) is faster and cleaner, and Boulder blabbed about getting a liquor store. Denver kept its mouth shut.”

The initial hearing — the first step in the liquor license process — will be held at 9 a.m. Oct. 26. The store will have to jump through a few city-required hoops before getting the final sign-off.

Both Boulder and Denver Trader Joe’s stores are expected to open around the same time next year.

Tops and Temps

A photograph on display showing one of 20 Infinity Rooms at Rocky Flats at The Rocky Flats Cold War Museum, 5612 Yukon St. in Arvada. Photos by Andy Carpenean after the bombing.

The social impacts are also documented with photos of protests after the disasters at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima.

“This exhibit is partly a story of Colorado and local concerns, but it also shows the global concern,” Bogaard said.

Local photographer Carole Gallagher, who has spent years documenting the lives of those affected by nuclear use, has a display of her works about people who lived near the testing in Nevada.

Gallagher, who grew up in New York City, said she was raised during the time of great fear of a nuclear strike being imminent.

“I always wondered what happened to the people who lived near the testing areas,” she said. “So in my work I focused on workers, downwinders and atomic veterans.”

Gallagher said she really came to admire the workers at these sites, who really put their lives on the line for their

country. Many of Gallagher’s stark, black and white photos, show people who lived in Nevada while nuclear tests were going on and were told that they were safe, only to develop a wide-range of health issues, including a variety of cancers and bone diseases.

“This exhibit really has captured the first moments of the nuclear age, and when it will end we don’t know,” Gallagher said.

Bogaard is careful to note that the museum and its exhibit is not a condemnation of nuclear power or Rocky Flats, but is a place that brings to light issues about nuclear use that still are up for debate.

“We raise a lot of questions, and it’s not necessarily about having the answers,” she said. “Instead, we want it to be something people think and talk about, and come away with a new understanding.”

The museum is open noon to 4 p.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

“I Can’t Help Myself” but I’m on “Cloud Nine” because The Four Tops and The Temptations will provide the entertainment for Saturday Night Alive, the signature fundraiser for The Denver Center for the Performing Arts, on March 2. Tickets are now on sale at www. denvercenter.org/sna.

Jamie Angelich and Mimi Roberson will chair this year’s event, which includes one of the chi-chi-est silent auctions, surprise box sale, dinner, desserts and dancing in the Seawell Ballroom.

Individual tickets start at $375 and corporate tables of 10 start at $6,000.

Bountiful harvest

Harvest Week, a series of pop-up dinner parties paying homage to Colorado’s produce and producers, features 36 of EatDenver’s independent restaurants, which will host the dinners at Grow Haus, 4751 York St., through Friday.

One brunch and five dinners — featuring different chefs and interactive themes — will be paired with handcrafted cocktails, local brews and wines.

Guests will need to bring their own place setting (plate, cutlery and wine glass). Brunch begins at noon and dinners begin at 6 p.m. Proceeds from the events go to support EatDenver, a marketing group of independently owned restaurants, and The Grow Haus, a nonprofit indoor farm, marketplace and educational center.

I was born in Pueblo CO and moved to Denver shortly after graduating to attend College.

What do you like most about it?

I have been in Golden area over 20 years. My husband and I have been homeowners for over 15 years in Golden. Our children have attended the Jefferson County School District Schools, Maple Grove, Kyffin Elementary, Bell Middle and Golden High School. We really loved our school System. Golden is like a small Mayberry Town, tucked in the foothills and we have it all. Golfing, Biking, Hiking, and a tight knit community.

We are very supportive of our Downtown Businesses.

How long have you worked in Real Estate & what is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with?

I have been in the Real Estate Industry for over 6 years and started my company in 2009 with Dianna Trepp, my business partner. Dianna is a former educator with Denver Public Schools with Double Major in Special Education and has been a Realtor for over 15 years. I was previously in the Banking Industry over 20 years and understand the importance of obtaining financing before a First time Buyer or any buyer

how much a person qualifies or what to expect for an interest rate, closing cost along with taxes and insurance and the anticipated payment. I enjoy working with my group of professionals, selling, training and motivating is my specialty. We have a very diverse team. Susan Thomas, Former Asst. District Attorney, and a few other agents from the Title Industry, Distribution and Travel Industry. Most of our realtors have degrees and have traveled and communicate well with our clients and the community.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?

The most challenging part of my job is working with other real estate agents who are sloppy and poor providers of service.

We strive to educate the public, work closely with our customers to make sure they are aware of all aspects of buying and selling a home.

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working?

I enjoy spending time with my family.

We enjoy going to Bronco and CU Football, traveling, and family dinners.

sells.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house?

Know what your limitations are…don’t buy a “fixer up” if you have no skills to fix it or the resources to have someone else help you. It’s better to pay a little more to for something, if you know that it will never get fixed. Many marriages end over this misconception and how much a place really cost to maintain.

Know your budget and stick to it.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

I hate snakes. I once showed a property and later that afternoon received a strange call from the listing agent, asked if I had taken my purse in the home with me. I replied no. She explained that a pet snake was missing and they were looking for it. OMG sure freaked out about this. A few years back had the privilege to sell one of our oldest building in town, I was frequently asked if there were “Ghosts”, I always answer, “No extra charge for them” and smile.

nterest rates now are near 60year lows. People are securing 30-year loans under 4 percent and 15-year loans in the low 3-percent range. This makes owning a home much more affordable and is why we are seeing significant increases in home purchases and mortgage refinances.

The ultra low rate environment is being driven by the uncertainty of the whole European situation, where a number of banks and countries are teetering on default,

coupled with a very slow growing U.S. economy and a job market that is barely maintaining positive momentum now. Because of this uncertainly and a slowdown in economies in China and Asia, people are seeking a safe haven for their funds and are driving the U.S. Treasury to record lows.

In fact, it appears if you add back inflation, people are actually accepting negative returns on their U.S. Treasury bond investments as they are more concerned about a return of their investment than a return on their investment.

So now is the perfect time to look at refinancing or purchasing because of the low rates, and two, because of the number of refinancing programs now available that focus on allowing people to refinance homes, even if their value has declined.

Habitat offers free deconstruction services

Habitat for Humanity Special to CCM Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver’s Deconstruction Program offers homeowners a way to reduce the cost of their remodeling, scraping or demolition projects by offering free removal of old household items and materials.

Habitat works directly with homeowners to identify materials in their home suitable for resale.

Then the professionally led and trained Deconstruction Volunteer Team carefully removes the items for donation to Habitat’s ReStore Home Improvement Outlets.

This unique recovery program reduces the costs of home

improvement projects, provides homeowners with a tax deduction for donated materials, and helps support Habitat for Humanity’s mission to eliminate poverty housing in Denver.

Selling everything from household appliances and cabinets to furniture and building materials, Habitat’s ReStores generate the revenue that helps to support Habitat’s administrative costs.

This allows Habitat to work in partnership with more local, low-income families.

Since opening their first ReStore in 2004, Habitat Metro Denver’s home production has increased by 70 percent, and this year it’s celebrating the construction of its 500th home.

Since its modest beginnings seven years ago, the Deconstruction Program has quickly become an integral component of the ReStores.

When Corey Biechele, Habitat’s deconstruction supervisor, first took a hold of the reins of the program in 2011, about 40 deconstructions were taking place annually.

But by this end of this year, he and his volunteer team will have completed over 100.

Biechele believes the deconstruction program’s rise in popularity has a lot to do with the benefits it affords homeowners.

“On our full-size kitchen deconstructions, we’ve saved clients hundreds of dollars on their remodeling projects,” says Biechele.

But financial reward isn’t the only incentive that attracts donors.

He has found that many of his clients gain a sense of relief and pride when they’re able to put their old items to use rather than scrapping them.

“We hated the idea of just throwing (our cabinets and appliances) away and we knew that trying to sell it would be a challenge and a headache. Fortunately someone told us about Habitat for Humanity and we checked out the deconstruction and donation services,” said Sue, a homeowner in Douglas County. “We couldn’t have been more pleased to help out a good cause and not contribute further waste to our landfills.”

To find out more about the deconstruction program or to schedule a project preview, contact Corey Biechele at 303-960-4811 or at corey@habitatoutlet.org or visit www.

Amendment 65 encourages representatives to support campaign finance changes

By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com A lot of money is being spent on the election this year, but Colorado voters have the opportunity to make their voices heard on the issue with Amendment 65.

Amendment 65 instructs Colorado’s congressional delegation to propose, support and ratify an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that allows for states, and Congress as a whole, to limit campaign contributions and spending.

The amendment is a reaction to the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC, as well as other decisions, that said local, state and federal officials no longer have the authority to decide how much money is spent on elections.

If the amendment passes it does not change any state or federal laws

about campaign finance, but rather encourages the state’s legislators to take steps to amend the U.S. Constitution to allow limits on election spending.

According to Elena Nunez, who is working on the campaign to get Amendment 65 passed, it’s a chance for voters to stand up to big money and signal they would like to see a change in how elections are run.

“It’s a way for constituents to communicate their priorities to elected officials,” she said. “Colorado voters have a long history of supporting reforms to level the playing field.”

She said that voters are seeing the effects that people and organizations with a lot of money to spend on elections are having, they are looking for a way to make their voices heard that this is not OK. There is no organized opposition to the amendment, but according to the state’s ballot information booklet, the argument against passing 65 is that a ballot measure cannot require elected officials to vote in support or against measures or issues.

With this being the case, the

amendment has no practical effect.

“Those who advocate for more restrictive campaign finance laws should instead support congressional candidates who will pursue such changes,” the book states.

Another argument in opposition is that the measure could lead to restrictions that limit free speech.

“Individuals and organizations should not be restricted in how they spend money to promote the ideas and candidate they support,” according to the booklet. “Further, candidates and campaigns should be free to spend any contributions received from supporters.”

Nunez said the campaign right now is working on getting the word out to voters about the amendment, but if it passes, then the real work will begin on Nov. 7.

That is when efforts will begin to get an amendment to the constitution about campaign finance.

“We’ve seen the influence of big money, with so much being spent on attack ads,” she said. “This is a way for people to stand up to big money and influence reform.”

Polio is not finished yet

In 1985 polio was still endemic in over 100 countries with 350,000 cases annually worldwide. Rotary International, seeing the many crippled children from the dreaded disease, took it upon ourselves to eliminate it from the face of the world. Partnering with WHO, CDC, and UNICEF and gifts from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation we now are so close. Handling issues of doubting government officials, fearful religious leaders, and countries at war it has not

always been easy. It frequently became necessary to restore the health of children

What is Rotary

An organization of business and professional persons united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all we do, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

Our motto is: Service Above Self

107 years old Rotary is now in 209 countries, 1.2 million members in over 34, 000 clubs and Golden Rotary is proud to play its part.

Yet, as of October 3, 2012, there were a total of only 154 cases of polio in the world in 3 endemic countries. By this time next year we are hopeful the world will be polio free making it only the second disease to be eliminated from the world

GAME OF THE WEEK SOFTBALL

Class 3A/4A/5A state championships Friday and Saturday, Aurora Sports Park The softball season wraps up with the twoday tournament to determine the state’s best.

THEY SAID IT “We can’t turn over the ball like that, it puts us in a big hole and just really hurts us a lot. We just weren’t executing and weren’t getting anything done and that was really the difference.”

Wildcats sting Golden in overtime Demons wrap up playoff berth two days later

By Craig Harper

sports@ourcoloradonews.com Modern field hockey’s origins are traced to 19th century England, yet St. Mary’s Academy’s Tilly Hallett prefers the United States’ high school version of the sport.

A Brit, Hallett moved to the Denver area with her family prior to her freshman year.

She stayed with her stepfather when her mother returned to England (she’ll return permanently to the U.S.), and couldn’t be happier.

“I love field hockey over here,’’ Hallett said.

First-year coach Allison Grenney and the rest of the St. Mary’s Academy team are glad she does. Hallett became a Great Brit for the Wildcats last Thursday when she tallied both overtime goals as St. Mary’s Academy snapped a three-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over Golden in the Demons’ home finale.

“It should uplift us for the next game, which I think we need to win to get to the playoffs,’’ said Hallett, who followed the game’s pattern by scoring both of her

goals following penalty corners.

But Golden ended the Wildcats’ playoff bid two days later by blanking Smoky Hill 4-0 to clinch at least the eighth and final postseason berth from the state’s 14-team league.

“This is great,’’ first-year Golden coach Marissa Copan said after the Demons ended a seven-game losing streak against Smoky Hill to improve to 5-9 before Tuesday’s regular-season finale against Grandview (5-7). Regis and St. Mary’s Academy are ninth and 10th with three league wins and one league game remaining.

The Wildcats (3-10-1, 3-7-1 league) hosted Poudre on Monday in their final league game (results were unavailable at press time) and Denver East on Tuesday.

The Demons scored for the first time in six games when leading scorer Kendra Lanzua notched her seventh goal of Golden’s 13 for the season to tie the game early in the second half against St. Mary’s Academy. The Wildcats’ Abbey Kaelberer notched the game’s first goal just 18 seconds into the second half.

All but Kaelberer’s goal came on penalty corners following a foul inside the striking circle.

“Short corners are meant for offense, and they got more than we did,’’ Copan said.

Hallett, who now has six goals this sea-

son, one shy of Bailey Tabor’s team lead, made it 2-1 with 5:21 left in the 10-minute overtime period (it’s not sudden death).

Playing in the middle, Hallett took the inbounds pass and fed the ball to Dahlia Gutierrez on her right, who fired a centering pass back to Hallett in front of the goal.

But she wasn’t satisfied with just a onegoal lead.

“There was, like, five minutes still to go, and they were getting some breakaways, so I think we needed another one,’’ said Hallett, who responded by putting back a rebounded shot by Taber with 1:28 left. “I usually play center-midfield. So if I’m not striking it, I come in from where the goalie is for deflections.’’

“We’re running on a lot of sickness and injuries right now, and we have a lot of players out,’’ Grenney said. “But the girls really wanted it, and it was a crucial game for us to kind of stan in play. They came back and had kind of a fire in their bellies to win.’’

Golden, a conglomerate of players from eight schools, broke out with four goals against Smoky Hill, two by Rachael Walker and one apiece by Lanuza and Lexeigh Hagestad. Lanuza had one assist and Lucy Koch, the lone senior, added three.

“Last year they only won one, so winning five has been a great achievement,’’ Copan said.

Crosswinds not a problem at cross country meet Jeffco’s best runners meet as season’s end nears

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com LITTLETON - Drizzly rain and cold wind didn’t slow down cross country participants at Saturday’s 4A/5A Jefferson Country cross country meet at Clement Park.

Actually, Arvada West Conner Lockwood said he used the cold conditions to his advantage.

“When it’s colder the ground is harder and you can push off better and get more distance and improve your times,” Lockwood said.

Lockwood was the boys’ 5A meet winner completing the course in 16:14. His teammate Nicolas Sevcik finished fourth

at 16:48, and Arvada West’s boys took third in the team event.

“The wind made it a little tough but we just powered through it and got the job done. We have a good team,” Lockwood said.

Pomona won the 5A boys team event with a total team time of 1:24:37. Marcelo Laguera, Jon May, Thomas, Gavin Mason, Michael Berthoud, Stephen May and Isaiah Ybatta combined for the victory.

Dakota Ridge’s McKenna Spillar was the winner of the 5A girls finishing with a time of 18:56.

“It’s my senior year and one of my goals was to win a cross country race and it was just my day,” Spillar said. “I was hurt earlier in the season [with an ankle injury] so I told myself to just go run your heart out and I am happy that my hard work paid off.”

Ralston Valley produced the 5A girls’

team winner finishing with a time of 1:41:50. The winning team consisted of Nicole Hahn, Caitlin Hess, Alicia Thompson, Giulianna Vessa, Samantha Bedinger, Lydia McCracken and Shelbie Ralston.

In 4A, Evergreen dominated the meet, starting with boys’ winner Jackson Sayler who finished in 16:53.

After Sayler won individual boys, Evergreen’s Sammy Skold was the solo girls’ winner finishing in 19:36.

Evergreen would wrap up their impressive afternoon by winning the girls team event, finishing with a group time of 1:42:29.

Sammy Sklod, Camille Morales, Caitlin Schmitt, Jane Jensen, Emily Schulz, Annie Trimarco and Blair Bokelman combined for the win. Evergreen’s boys also took second in the team event.

“We live up there in the mountains so we try to use those tough conditions to

our advantage,” Evergreen coach Angie Harrington said. “Plus we had a bunch of colds we were fighting to get over so this was a great day for us.”

The 4A boys’ team winner was Conifer, who finished with a combined time of 1:29:01. Kevin Johnson, Ian McGhie, Mitch Hoffman, Mike Fera, Trevor Bickmore, Dylan Reed and Josef Gruber made up Evergreen’s winning unit.

Surprise performances included the combined effort from Golden.

The Demons had three girls finish in the top 11 in the individual race, led by Olivia Treitman who finished third overall at 20:00.

Golden’s boys had four top 16 finishers which they converted into a third place team finish with a score of 1:30:44.

4A and 5A regional’s began this week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in various locations depending on region.

Akindele breaks Mines’ career scoring record Men’s, women’s soccer on a roll; Oredigger volleyball’s streak at 10 Staff Reports sports@ourcoloradonews.com

In less than three full seasons, Tesho Akindele has carved quite a name for himself into the Colorado School of Mines men’s soccer record books.

The Mines junior set another mark Sunday afternoon in a 3-1 victory over visiting Adams State University.

Akindele punched in his 16th goal of the season, establishing a new career record of 51 goals.

Zach Page-Belknap and Baski Baker also scored for the Orediggers (9-3-2, 6-2t2 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Confer,ence). c The team was coming off a 1-0 road victory over Colorado Mesa University

on Friday in which Akindele had tied Rob Zimmerman’s mark of 50, set from 198285.

Only four games remain in the regular season, with Mines sitting in second place behind unbeaten Regis (11-0-1, 9-0).

The two teams meet Tuesday, Oct. 23, at Regis.

Evans’ hat trick propels women

Anna Evans’ second career hat trick helped the Mines women’s soccer team push its winning streak to four Sunday after a 5-0 rout of Adams State.

Evans upped her goal total on the season to 10, with Megan Woodworth and Kat Evans also scoring against the Grizzlies.

The Orediggers (10-4, 7-3 in the RMAC) also shut out Colorado Mesa on Friday 2-0 behind goals from Evans and Dani Hering.

Mines is currently fourth in the conference standings, half a game behind UC-Colorado Springs, Metro State and Regis.

o

As the Mines volleyball team keeps adding numbers into the win column, the team’s national ranking also is on the rise.

The 12th-ranked Orediggers (16-4, 10-1) upped their winning streak to 10 matches with straight-set sweeps of Colorado Mesa and Fort Lewis over the weekend.

Jackie Stabell’s 16 kills and nine digs, along with Danielle Johnson-Hazlewood’s 33 assists and 11 digs, helped Mines upend what had been the RMAC West Division’s leader 25-18, 25-21, 2518.

Against Fort Lewis, Melanie Wannamaker led the way with 12 kills and Anna Padget-Shields added 10.

Football handed third conference setback

Despite jumping out to an early 21-10 lead, the Mines football team couldn’t maintain the advantage and fell 35-21 to No. 2 CSU-Pueblo on Saturday.

The Thunderwolves (7-0, 5-0) climbed to the top spot in the AFCA rankings

Monday. With its top two running backs sidelined, CSU-Pueblo freshman Cameron McDondle rushed for 240 yards and a touchdown and Ross Dausin tossed three touchdown passes.

Matt Brown also had three TD passes for Mines (4-3, 2-3) but was intercepted once and fumbled twice. Cody Renken caught seven passes for 128 yards and two scores.

More Mines notes …

Going into this weekend’s RMAC Championships in Colorado Springs, the Mines men’s cross country team is ranked second in the nation, while the women are ranked 14th … the Orediggers’ men’s golf team wrapped up the fall season Oct. 9 by winning the Ryan Palmer Invitational in Amarillo, Texas. Michael Lee, who won the Golfweek Division II Preview in Oregon the week before, tied for second … the Mines men’s basketball team was ranked seventh in the Division II Bulletin Preseason Top 25.

Trick or treat time coming, with more holidays in line

Is your house haunted?

No, my house isn’t really haunted, it just looks that way because I’m a lousy landscaper. This is the only time of year that my lack of gardening skill actually

enrollment (with this ad)

pays off as it does make my house look like the kind of place that spirits would dwell in. I usually augment that with a couple of creepy wailing animated figures strategically placed in the bushes or behind trees to give it that “to die for” image that my mailman usually dreads having to deal with every year.

But my efforts pale in comparison to what’s in store for you at Spider Mansion, located in the Heritage Square Amusement Park. This has been open since the end of September, and will be going through Nov. 3. You can scare yourself silly 7-10 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 7 p.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

Set in a Victorian Mansion, this year it’s under new management so it’s doubled in size, has 25 different “scare points,” with more than 15 live actors, and they claim it rates a 5 on the 1-5 scare scale.

Now, this is really geared for a little older crowd, so kids under 7 need to be accompanied by an adult.

Tickets are available online. Visit www.spidermansion.com or give them a call at 303-279-4646 for more information.

Everyone remembers the movie “Snakes on a Plane,” but how about “Spooks on a Train?” Well you can get a chance to experience that and more at the Colorado Railroad Museum’s Halloween Railroad Town and Trick-or-Treat Train.

This is another fun and safe attraction for all ages that will be open on October 27 and 28 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. with the Trick-or-treat Train departing every 30 minutes.

You can catch a ride behind a historic locomotive in a vintage passenger car complete with costumed engineers and conductors, visit all the town’s special

You can always tell how close it’s getting to Halloween by how much Christmas stuff starts to displace the orange and black items in the“seasonal aisles at all the stores. Slowly, but surely, elves and Santas start to creep in and stage a massive takeover ending in a total coup on Nov. 1.

So, before all the candy gets picked over, don’t forget to grab a few bags because an army of trick-or-treaters is due to arrive at your door pretty soon.

As a kid, I used to love going out and ringing those doorbells, and looking through my bag at the end of the night to see what kind of treasure and booty was collected. We had a lot of kids in the area, so it was a wild night for sure with hundreds of us running amok up and down the streets.

But, as I started to grow up trick-ortreating started to take on a more sinister aura as it was no longer safe to just let the kids, especially younger ones, out on their own and you couldn’t trust what some people were dropping into those plastic pumpkins. Parents started looking for better options and many local merchants associations banded together and sponsored their own events in either town main streets or shopping centers.

And so, Trick-or-Treat Street was born here in Golden!

Yes, Washington Avenue will once again play host to all those little witches and banshees as the Golden Downtown Merchants Association sponsors this terrific annual event. All the downtown merchants will be handing out candy and goodies to the children from 3:305:30 p.m. on Halloween, Wedsday, Oct. 31.

This is always a terrific event, especially for the little ones as it’s safe and happens when it’s still light out. Plus, it ends early enough to allow you to attend other things like parties or to be home in time to hand out candy to the neighborhood ghoulies.

Parents are encouraged to dress up as well, as it adds to the fun, so break out the scissors and cut a couple of holes in that old bed sheet.
