Biden urges strength to stop domestic violence Vice president speaks at agency in Denver By Vic Vela

GETTING FIRED UP FOR FALL
The Washington Heights Arts Center, 6375 W. First Ave., hosted demonstrations on all of the pottery firing techniques: raku firing, a pit fire, salt kiln firing, wood kiln and gas car kiln firing. The Friday, Sept. 19, event featured food and entertainment for curious visitors.

Potters at the Washington Heights Fall Firing Festival pull their work from a Raku kiln. The family outing was a chance for people to see how the different kilns at the art center work.
Vice President Joe Biden came to Denver on Sept. 19 to urge men to stand up against domestic violence, saying that men have “an absolute obligation to intervene when you see violence taking place.” “That’s manhood,” the vice president said. “That’s being a man.” Biden gave his passionate remarks prior to taking part in a round-table discussion on domestic violence at a Safehouse Denver office on Capitol Hill. The organization provides services and shelter for battered women. Biden’s trip marks the 20th anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act, which he spearheaded as a U.S. senator. Biden recalled some pushback at the time of the legislation, saying that some used to consider domestic violence “a family matter.” The vice president thanked the press for covering that effort 20 years ago, saying the media was “the reason why we’ve been able to put a face on domestic violence.” Biden’s remarks came just a couple of hours after National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell apologized to fans for his handling of recent incidents involving domestic violence among league stars. “I would respectfully suggest to you had what has gone on in the NFL in the last four weeks been reported in 1984, I doubt very much it would get the coverage it’s getting now,” Biden said, in a nod to the changing cultural

Hancock — whose sister was shot 12 years as part of ongoing domestic violence suffered at the hands of her boyfriend — praised Biden’s work on the issue. The mayor also touted the soon-to-be built Rose Andom Center — named after a domestic violence survivor who sat next to the vice president — which will serve as a “onestop shop” for domestic-violence victims to receive care and services. The center will have on-site police, magistrates and child and pet care services. “Our goal here today is to shed light on the issue of domestic violence in our community,” Hancock said. Biden reminded the audience that violence isn’t unique to certain groups of people. He said that gays and lesbians are also victims, as are undocumented immigrant women, who may fear deportation by going to the
police to report abuse. And Biden urged college students to step up whenever a violent act against a woman seems imminent. “Turning away when you see a fraternity brother take an obviously, completely, thoroughly drunk young woman and head to his room, you have a moral obligation — you are a coward if you do not stop him,” Biden said. Biden’s visit was also meant to call attention to a newly launched White House campaign that calls attention to domestic violence. The campaign, called “It’s on Us,” asks every man in America to sign an online pledge to intervene in incidents involving domestic violence. Biden said one of the ways the society “wins” the fight against domestic violence is when men realize that certain actions are never acceptable. “(We win) when every young man in America knows there is not a single circumstance that exists that justifies any man in this room or this nation raising a hand to a woman, other than in selfdefense,” he said.
Three Arvada high schools walk out to show views By Crystal Anderson and Clarke Reader
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com creader@colorado communitymedia.com Students across Jeffco are walking out of class — for a cause. Across Jefferson County, students are organizing “walk outs” in protest against a resolution which would limit items in the AP U.S. History curriculum. The resolution, penned by board member Julie Williams, seeks to see that the material emphasizes positive aspects of American history and “should not encourage or condone” civil disobedience, social strife or disregard of the law. Started Sept. 19, following a teacher “sick day,” students have been seen protesting along major streets near school campuses in support of their teachers and against the resolution. Students at Pomona, Arvada West and Ralston Valley high schools in Arvada
staged walk outs on the morning of Sept. 23. More than 100 students walked out of class at Pomona, carrying signs that said “Stand up for teachers” and “Don’t’ censor history” and spread out along Wadsworth, between Pomona Drive and W. 80th Avenue. Students chanted cheers for the school as drivers honked as they passed by. “This was organized mainly through Facebook and the Internet, and together we made a plan that would work for everyone,” said junior Chrystal Sanborn. “You can’t censor history because if you don’t learn about it it’s going to keep happening.” Jacque Bruce, a freshman at Pomona, said that the teachers supported the walk out and were happy the students were standing with them. It wasn’t only students who participated in the walk out. “The public thinks this is just a teacher problem but education for the students is being dismantled,” said Andrea Stevens, a Jeffco mother whose son attends Creighton
Students from Pomona High School staged a walk-out on Sept. 23 and held signs along Wadsworth Boulevard in protest of recent actions by the school board.

to stay in Jeffco to be a teacher but if this keeps on I’m going to have to look somewhere else.” Along with the protests, Jeffco students have organized a petition via www.moveon. org to oppose the curriculum change. At the time of publication, it had more than 10,000 signatures.

If you want to get it, you’ve got to give it Before we know it, the holiday season will be upon us, and our spirit of giving will increase. We will think about the gifts that we will purchase, wrap, and give to our closest family members and friends, and we will think about giving through the many outreach programs, such as selecting a random person or family from a giving tree at church or at work. It has been said that if we are feeling low or our morale is down, the best way to pick up our own spirits is to look for ways to help someone else. I know this works because I have practiced it many times myself. Anyone who has been financially blessed can easily write a check and make a donation, and believe me, the charities all need cash. But it is when we donate our time that we make a difference both for others and within ourselves. I would like to accomplish two things in this week’s column. First, I want to introduce you to Elizabeth Billups. Elizabeth has a wonderful gift and mission in her heart to help others. She is the author of the book “The Carry Crew Concept: How to Build Crews to Carry People in Hard Times.” The book is remarkable, but her intent is even more incredible. I would like to share a little bit more about her con-
cept through an article she has recently written, called “Help Yourself by Helping Others”: There’s nothing quite like visiting a friend who can’t breathe, eat, walk or talk on his own to help you value your own life. I have a friend who suffered from ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. I met him and his wife while he was at the early stages of this debilitating disease. Fortunately, they trusted me enough to let me join them on their journey for the next five years until sadly he passed away. During this time, I managed an amazing group of about 25 to 40 people who supported this couple and their two young kids by delivering meals, purchasing groceries, mowing the yard, cleaning the house and much more. People looking at my involvement in this family’s
struggle may get the mistaken idea that it was I who was only helping them. When in reality, every encounter with them reminded me how healthy and lucky I was. So like I said, people may think it was I who was helping them. But my family knows the truth. Experiencing this trauma alongside our friends was extremely difficult. But it was also an experience that reminded us daily that struggles that may seem insurmountable when looked at on their own were actually, by comparison with my friend’s struggle with ALS, small road bumps on the journey of real life. And thank God for the journey. As you know, we truly could not appreciate the mountaintop views if we never traveled through the dark valleys. If you know a family that needs support, whether it is a debilitating disease or illness, or maybe just a hard-luck story of lengthy unemployment, you should read Elizabeth’s book, “The Carry Crew.” The second way to feel good about yourself by helping others comes from the “We Don’t Waste” program. You can check them out online at www.wedontwaste.org. Basically, the idea is to gather all the unused food and products from local cooperating providers, which is then
distributed to local shelters and food banks for distribution. I have volunteered twice to collect the uneaten food from the sky boxes at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. A team of about 20 people assembled after the game and collected enough food for more than 5,000 servings. I was simply amazed at the aggregate collection of prime rib, roast beef, chicken, ribs, hot dogs, hamburgers, sausage and desserts that were left behind. A special thank-you to Andrea and Bruce Kirchhoff and St. Luke’s United Methodist Church for all you do for this program. Need a “pick-me-up”? Look for ways to help someone else and I can assure you that your talents and gifts will shine through and be greatly appreciated. I am also pretty sure that what you get in return will pale in comparison to what you actually give. I would love to hear all about the charities and missions you support at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we lift others up, it truly will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a Front Range resident, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, and a strategic consultant, business and personal coach.
LAKEWOOD NEWS IN A HURRY Police obtain warrant for sex offender
Lakewood police detectives have obtained an arrest warrant for a man who is a registered sex offender and apartment maintenance worker believed to have sexually assaulted an 8-year-old female. The victim lived at an apartment complex located in the 700 block of Miller Court in Lakewood. While conducting their investigation, detectives found that Angel Gavino Alcaraz, 57, a registered sex offender, did similar maintenance work at the Terrace Park Apartments in Arvada. Lakewood detectives learned that detectives from Arvada Police Department had investigated and arrested Alcaraz for similar crimes in their city. Alcaraz was booked into the
Jefferson County Jail by Arvada police where he remains. Lakewood detectives began their investigation when they were called to the Miller Court address in June. The victim and her family reported that Alcaraz approached the victim and separated her from other children before assaulting her. In addition to the Arvada charges the Lakewood warrant adds a count of sexual assault on a child. Due to the nature of the charges and the fact that the victim is a juvenile, further information is limited. Anyone who feels they may have information that would assist in the investigation or regarding Alcaraz is asked to contact Lakewood Police Detective Jennifer Moore at

LWV host behavioral health discussion
More than 35 percent of inmates in Colorado’s prisons have a mental health diagnosis. 10 percent of prisoners are severely mentally ill. And 72 percent of total prisoners are severe substance abusers. Yet people with mental illness are no more likely to be violent towards others than the general public. These findings are the result of a yearlong study by the Mental Health Task Force of the League of Women Voters of Colorado. From 7-9 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 8, the Jeffco LWV will sponsor a panel discussion on behavioral health (men-
tal health and substance abuse) at St. Anthony Hospital, 11600 W. 2nd Place, Lakewood. This meeting is free and open to the public. No reservations are required. Park on south side of hospital and enter auditorium on ground floor.

Girl Scouts work to save bees
Girl Scout Troop No. 4386 from Hutchinson Elementary and Rooney Ranch Elementary Schools completed the requirements for their Bronze Award by planning and planting a “bee friendly” garden at the Ute Trail Community Garden, 13130 Jewell Ave. The troop earned this award with direction from their leader, Leigh Ann Bunetta. The girls started last March by making posters and talking to their classmates to educate them about saving pollinators.
Debi Treseder, a Denver area bee-keeper, came and talked to the troop about bees and other pollinators and why it is important to save them. Then the girls handed out seeds for bee friendly plants to their classmates. Marieta Clare, from the Ute Trail Community Garden, was contacted regarding planting a “bee friendly” garden, to help pollination. The Community Garden bee keepers advised the girls about what bee friendly plants would work best at the garden and they used their cookie earnings to purchase the plants.

Denver’s MLS, Metrolist, Is Moving to Include Listings of New Homes & Rentals By JIM SMITH, Realtor ®
I have been very pleased with the evolution of Metrolist’s consumer and professional MLS portal since Kirby Slunaker became its CEO a few years ago. The shift from in-house website design and support to a widely adopted product from CoreLogic was long overdue and has resulted in some great improvements for Metrolist users. CoreLogic is, I am told, the nation’s largest provider of MLS platforms, with only a couple major competitors. Metrolist went through a year-long process of investigating vendor solutions, with lots of member input, and settled on the CoreLogic product called Matrix. Now, not only do the members of Metrolist have a great new tool for better serving their clients, but the home buying & selling public has a great consumer website with many of the same improvements. The URL is www.recolorado.com. There are countless functionalities of Matrix which I appreciate, but two which stand out for me are its map searching capability and the way I, as a member, can set up an email search for clients that gives them their own portal on Matrix for creating and saving up to five additional searches. These clients can tag or discard listings after viewing them and write their own notes about what they like and dis-
like about each listing, which I can then read. Nothing like this was available on Metrolist’s in-house platform on which they wasted untold capital before abandoning it. The map search function has allowed me to do something I could never do before — a search of listings within the City of Golden…

Looking back on state’s 100-year flood
Jeffco repairs still ongoing, homeowners continuing work By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com September marks the first year anniversary since record setting rainfall engulfed parts of the state, leaving behind washed out homes, highways and trails. In Jefferson County, 912 applicants countywide applied for FEMA’s Individual Assistance program totaling awards at about $1.6 million, the county reported. Coal Creek Canyon was one of many focal points for flood damages with rescue efforts geared toward getting residents out of their homes after State Highway 72 was left in pieces and many driveways torn apart with homes overrun by muddied debris. Tom and Jane Moran, residents of Coal Creek Canyon, didn’t opt for a rescue but stayed in their home for two months with friends hiking in from Boulder County to deliver perishables. Eventually the September flooding washed away their driveway bridge over Coal Creek, leaving the Morans even more separated from the outside world with Highway 72 already impassable. Still, Tom Moran also known to his neighbors as Terrible Tom, said compared to other residents in the canyon along with others further west in Jamestown with homes completely destroyed, his situation was simply an inconvenience. “There are people that suffered greatly and they still need to be helped,” Moran said. “We have to count our blessings in this canyon.” Driving up Highway 72, independent contractors are still working on driveways with some residents seeing newly installed culverts placed in the now-shallow creek beds. “Life is almost back to normal,” Moran said. “And life will go on.” Immediately after the flooding waters subsided, the county and state worked quickly to assess damages.
OPEN SPACE PARKS UPDATE In November of last year, Jeffco Open Space assessed damages to be $605,000. At Apex Park, 3.8 miles (40 percent) of the park’s trails were severely damaged, but community volunteers and open space staff have since repaired and reopened the majority of the park. Jeffco Open Space anticipated work to be complete by Sept. 30 but have moved its target date to Nov. 26. Restoration work remains for White Ranch Park and North Table Mountain Park. The realignment of the damaged Pick N’ Sledge Trail at Apex Park will be completed by the spring of 2015 with limited trail closures for construction. For additional information see jeffco.us/parks/parks-and-trails or register for Apex Park emails by sending a message to apexpark@jeffco.us to join the list. Jeffco Road and Bridge reported that 75 percent of damage done by the flood has been repaired. Projects on Twin Spruce Road and Crescent Park Drive completed include roadway fill, shoulders and culvert repairs. “In many cases we rebuilt the roads,” said Kate Newman, deputy county assessor. “Road and Bridge did a phenomenal job at responding.” In three to four weeks, roads were stabilized and re-opened for accessibility Newman said, adding that much of the work left involves repairing retaining walls along the roadsides. “We would not be in the position that we are in now if it wasn’t for the community volunteers,” said County Commissioner Don Rosier. “I can’t say enough positive things about not only county staff but the community.” Moran said there are still some residents who have sustained damages that have left them destitute with defiled septic tanks and basements filled with mud. He is concerned about the county’s monetary shortcomings that seemed to be more concerned with minimizing damages for the next 100 year flood than providing aid to homeowners. “There really wasn’t enough forthcoming to set aside $1 million in aid for people who really need it?” Moran said. On the hand, “I don’t know how anybody can really help them.”

Leading the community to health CARRIERS WANTED ROUTES AVAILABLE IN THE LAKEWOOD AREA
Concerned Citizens for Healthcare spread word on ACA sign-ups
Email your contact information and geographical delivery preference: snevins@coloradocommunitymedia.com
By Clarke Reader creader@colorado communitymedia.com The second open enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act is fast approaching, and civic leaders are working to get as many of their constituents as possible enrolled in health care programs starting Nov. 15. Concerned Citizens for Healthcare held a panel of health care experts from all over the Denver metro area on Sept. 17 to speak specifically to elected officials and civic leaders about how to encourage people to choose coverage. Lakewood Ward 3 City Council member Pete Roybal, Commerce City Mayor Pro Tem Rene Bullock, Northglenn City Council Member Leslie Carrico, Federal Heights City Council Member John Hamlin and Tim Gaudette of the Small Business Majority were just some of the leaders on hand to hear about coverage opportunities. “Colorado has done a great job so far, but there is still more than 400,000 people without health care,” said event organizer Kathie Hart. “We’re finding that many don’t have it yet because they didn’t know it existed or where to get it.” According to Elisabeth Arenales, director of the Colorado Center on Law and Policy’s Health Program, Jefferson County is in pretty good shape when it comes to getting people signed up for health care, but the aging population — an area in which Jeffco leads the state — need to think about their needs as they get older. One area of particular concern is Al-

Photo by Clarke Reader zheimer’s care, Arenales noted. “We need to work on awareness and education for everybody,” said Lorez Meinhold, senior associate with The Keystone Center. “Right now four out of 10 in the public and half of uninsured remain unaware of the major provisions of the ACA.” Amy Reddy, education and outreach specialist with the Central Hub of Connect for Health Colorado, touted the many benefits of working with health coverage guides — or “navigators” — to help those new to health care find a plan that works for them. “Right now about 11.5 percent of Jeffco’s population are uninsured, and it’s 18.9 percent in Adams County,” she said. “We need to reach deeper into the communities and let people know that there is free, in-person assistance available and that health care is more affordable than ever right now.” Jesse Lopez, coordinator of the Aurora Coverage Assistance Network
(ACAN), and Mirna Ramirez-Castro, manager with the Coalition for Culturally Appropriate Response and Enrollment Services (CCARES) at Servicios de La Raza, both spoke about their organizations’ efforts to reach minorities and spread the word about health care options. Questions from attending leaders focused on what kind of resources they can provide for their constituents to get them signed up. The panelists all said there are any of number of resources available and their organizations are more than willing to attend community events to get the word out. “There is no excuse to not call up and chat with one of our healthcare guides,” said Ramierz-Castro. “The open enrollment window is shorter this year, and we want everyone to be signed up.” For more information visit www. connectforhealthco.com.

Business translates smoke signals The brown cloud that used to hover over downtown Denver was not so evident when walking on the 16th Street Mall, but very clear from afar — let’s from say the Thornton Parkway exit on Interstate 25. In a similar way, others may have a good perch to size up a public perception cloud over Colorado since recreational marijuana was recently legalized. The Metro Denver Economic Development Corp. took just such an opportunity to query business leaders at its 2014 Metro Denver Site Selection Conference Friday at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. The question was posed to an invited panel of site selection experts — those involved in the analysis of choosing the best cities and regions to locate companies in labor, incentives, tax advantages, transportation access and quality of life. When asked about the impact of legalized recreational marijuana, Shinobu Yoshitomi of Colorado Frontiers Consulting said people in Japan were a little shocked at the development. She said they ask if there is more crime, if children are safe and if the streets are more dangerous because of drivers smoking marijuana. Joseph Vranich of Spectrum Location Solutions in California said people are concerned about cultural deterioration, adding marijuana can be seen as a con-
OUR VIEW tributing negative. Some on the panel said the change is relatively unremarkable to some businesses considering relocation to Colorado, and noted the lighter side of the issue. One panelist noted when out-of-staters find out he is from Colorado, he is jokingly asked if he has any weed. Nonetheless Yoshitomi stressed that the state should communicate that the law has not had a major impact on crime rates to assure foreign companies considering Colorado. Others at the conference agreed efforts should be made to clarify actual impacts. We do agree the state should partner with businesses to show exactly how recreational marijuana is affecting the state. Of course, the revenue from marijuana sales tax going to good use, but we believe the more important piece is to show exactly how recreational marijuana affects the state in terms of crime as time goes on, how it is affecting education and — in an overarching way — summing how it impacts quality of life.
No doubt, concerns are expressed every day. In conversations with teachers, we are told marijuana is now more available to students, and to generalize students known to smoke often experience declining grades. And in our day-to-day observations, we are more likely to see motorists smoking a pipe with marijuana at intersections than in past years. Driving while high — whatever the substance — is a problem, and a top issue for the state to address. The recent launch of a public service campaign “Don’t Be a Lab Rat” with people-sized lab rat cages, to warn high school students and all those under 21 about potential risks of marijuana use is certainly edgy, but discourse generators are welcome as ongoing research seeks to better identify health risks. Now that recreational marijuana is legal, the state’s challenge is to make sure it does no damage to innocent bystanders or the overall quality of life. For those who smoke or consume edibles the pros and cons, and best practices of using the drug should be made clear as well. We’re proud to be a destination state, and it doesn’t take much time on our soil for people to take a shine to Colorado. Let’s keep it that way.

Beware of those bad horses They say you have to kiss a lot of frogs to meet a good man. The same is true with horses: You may have to ride many dangerous ones before you find a safe steed. After we moved to Golden in l956 so my father could start a food brokerage business and my mother could have a horse corral on our property, the first pony my parents bought was a fat little rascal, Poncho. He threw me and dragged me back to the barn with my boot caught in the stirrup. A good horse would stand still if his rider was hung up, until the rider could right herself, but not Poncho. He dragged me like I was a sack of potatoes, banging my head along the ground. I lost a hunk of hair snagged in a Canadian thistle bush. After freeing my foot and boot back at the stable, I thanked God I was still alive. My parents sold Poncho— gone, gone, gone. One day I rode a tall new mare, Creole,
to the top of the mesa on South Table Mountain behind our house. The trails were full of spiny yuccas and loose rocks. On the way home the bratty horse raced down the hill toward the barn with the bit clenched in her teeth so I couldn’t stop her no matter how hard I pulled. My face flushed as terror shot through me. “Whoa, stop, you crazy horse!” She tossed me off. Crash-boom. “Darn horse!” I yelled. “I hope my par-
ents sell you to the rodeo to be a bronco. When I get older I’ll ride you to win a buckle for staying on!” In spite of bad experiences with Poncho and Creole, I didn’t give up. I fell off, I got on again. With my own money I saved, I bought Smoky, a small black horse. He was a gem with a sweet disposition.I made friends with neighborhood girls and boys who all rode horses: Claudia Brundage, Judy Haberl, Pam Pearson, ManetOshier, Tia Tyler. Doug Buzard and Bobby Brendan, who had horses, also joined us on rides. We rode around the gravel roads in the Applewood Mesa area of Golden, and raced our horses on the dirt airstrip on Bobby’s parents’ place. Gone now, of course, long replaced with suburban homes. One day a cowboy parked in front of my family’s corral with a horse trailer. My mother and I went out to see what was up.
The man unloaded a lovely buckskin mare and said, “She’s for sale, only $100.”My mother’s eyes lit up. She couldn’t resist a bargain and luck was with us—Twinkle was a real find. She was high spirited, had a great willingness, and always tried to please us. Twinkle was worth the wait. I entered horse shows and rodeos with Twinkle. We did well, winning trophies and ribbons in barrel racing, pole bending, and goat tying. Giving it her best in every event, Twinkle became the most loved horse my family ever owned.

Troubling swings historical perspectives When I was at the University of Colorado in Boulder, I had a few classes in the physics building. And, it would happen, occasionally, that I would get to the building early and would wander over to the Focault Pendulum. Have you ever seen it? It’s remarkable — it’s a pendulum that is suspended in just such a way as to detect the rotation of the earth on its axis. If you have the time to spend, you can actually watch time proceed ... very slowly. You’d miss class, and maybe take a little nap in the process, but you can see it. Not that I would know... The thing about the pendulum, what makes it such a great nap-inducer, is its constancy: back and forth, same arc, same width, same speed, no drama. Nice and steady. I wish pendulums (penduli? pendulorum?) in the political world were so predictable. Is it just me, or does it seem like every sweep of the philosophical pendulum is getting wider and more violent? In our own backyard, in just one 24hour period last week, we could see 50 years’ worth at play. To trace backwards: on Friday, teachers at two schools in Jeffco engaged in … (um, I’m not supposed to use the term “sick-out”) excessive illness, -ness, such that those two schools had to cancel classes for the day; this, because
the school board passed a new pay-forperformance scheme on Thursday night without input from the teachers’ union and contrary to the advice of the labor mediatior; this, because the union walked out of contract negotiations, and there has been a growing public perception for many years that teachers’ performance is divorced from the need for fiscal diligence with public monies; this, perhaps, because when unions were stronger they created protections to incentivize a job that requires lots of expensive education and renumerates poorly. Action, re-action, push, push-back, shove, throw. (Note: credible sources tell me that their union reps emphatically told teachers not to call in sick.) This is also true of another issue that came up last week. The board wants to create a panel to evaluate curricular materials for compliance with a set of
philosophical ideals, and its first target is U.S. History. At first blush, those ideals appear to scrub our history of many of the embarrassing chapters of our past; many are already crying “censorship” at the whole exercise. What those people fail to recognize — or choose to ignore — is that the first set of Common Core-compliant guidelines for the Advanced Placement U.S. History test from the College Board left out trivialities like Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Gettysburg Address, in favor of extensive treatments for slavery, wars, our treatment of native Americans, and other evils. That the College Board has revisited those brings me little comfort — are you saying that, absent the pushback, it would be okay to have that as curriculum? Who thought that was a good idea? And it’s naïve to think that, in this environment, teachers would spend the necessary time teaching things that weren’t being tested. Should American History be studied without the stains on our collective con-
science? Of course not. But, nor should it be studied as an exercise in collective guilt-tripping and absolution. In a public trust, should labor ever abandon their posts in protest of management? No. But, nor should management, in a collectivelybargained profession, simply assume that because they can do a thing, that they should do a thing. This is also going on in the macro. Presidents Obama to Bush 43 to Clinton to Bush 41: different directions, wider arcs. There is middle ground, and happy mediums, but we have to find a way to get off the crazy swings of philosophical ascendancy. If we don’t, I fear we’re headed for the fate of Edgar Allan Poe’s hero in the Inquisitorial pit, with the sharpened blade of the pendulum bearing even closer upon our lives. Michael Alcorn is a music teacher and fitness instructor who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. He graduated from Alameda High School and the University of Colorado-Boulder.
Attending to suicide prevention in the workplace We often talk about the ripple effect of suicide – that it affects so many people beyond the individual’s immediate family and friends – but we often forget to include our co-workers among those who are grief-stricken by a loss related to suicide. Yet most of us spend 40 hours or more a week at our workplace. We invest a lot of time developing relationships with our co-workers: They may know our eating and sleeping habits, remember our vacation stories and vicariously celebrate our families’ milestones. This is why suicide prevention programs that target the workplace exist: to educate employees about the signs of suicide ideation – the preoccupation with suicidal thoughts – and how to help a co-worker. One good, local program is Working Minds: Suicide Prevention in the Workplace, provided by the Carson J. Spencer Foundation. And community mental-health centers such as Community Reach Center provide services to help Denver-area businesses develop emotionally supportive environments for their employees. In all aspects of our lives, including in our homes and at work, we need to be comfortable asking the question: Are you thinking about killing yourself? It’s not an easy question for most people to ask. We think that we’re meddling, that we have no place to ask another person – let alone a colleague – if he or she is contemplating suicide. Yet research shows individuals contemplating suicide are relieved when another person
shows concern; asking the question, and engaging a co-worker who answers yes in deeper conversation, actually can help alleviate an individual’s preoccupation with suicide. How? By ending their feelings of isolation. “Asking the question alleviates a person’s need to ask for help. Instead, someone is asking you and giving you permission to talk about how your life is doing, and this lessens isolation,” says Abigail Tucker, a clinical director at Community Reach Center. “Asking the question gives an individual permission to have the conversation. In turn, they are giving you the tools you need to help prevent a suicide. If we don’t ask, we won’t know and we can’t prevent the suicide.” Twenty percent of working Americans experience some kind of mental illness during a year, with depression and substance abuse being among the most common problems; both depression and Forker continues on Page 10

Board sets salary schedule Jeffco moves forward, setting higher pay scale By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com The Jeffco Schools board of education approved a salary cap limit for teachers by a 3-2 vote Thursday, Sept. 18. Board members John Newkirk, Julie Williams and Ken Witt voted in favor with Lesley Dahlkemper and Jill Fellman opposed. “We believe the model that we put out there needs to both attract and retain high quality staff,” said Jeffco Superintendent
Dan McMinimee. Dahlkemper said she opposed the model due to a hasty process. Executive director of human resources Amy Weber presented the new model that sets the over market or top salary for all teachers at $81,031, with effective and highly effective teachers earning a onetime, performance-based stipend. “We want to ensure that great teachers want to stay in Jeffco classrooms, and we think by having that high over market at $81,000 that we will not only attract great teachers because they’ll see an end (salary amount) but will also retain the great teachers we have in our system, and they’ll want to stay in Jeffco classrooms,” McMinimee said. The target cost for the compensation

plan is around $11.1 million during the 2014-2015 school year, with an ongoing annual cost of $3.8 million. In this design, partially effective teachers would see a 1 percent increase; effective teachers would see a 2.43 percent increase; and highly effective teachers would receive a 4.25 percent increase. Increases are anticipated to take effect in time for teachers’ November paycheck. “I want to be able to keep great teachers in our classrooms,” McMinimee said. “I
think the investment of three million dollars ongoing, is a small investment when you look at it from a billion dollar budget.” During the presentation, Weber encouraged the board focus on how teachers would move up the compensation scale; receive pay for extra activities and athletics; and where newly-hired teachers would be placed on the scale. For Jefferson County Education Association President, John Ford, the redesign, while offering teachers an increase, doesn’t provide clarity on the issue or hope for the board. “This compensation scheme is very confusing and looks like it was rushed together,” Ford said. “In the end, I still don’t think they know what they’re doing.”
Legacies of Latino elected officials Former House Speaker Valdez honored by his predecessors By Amy Woodward

notable former legislators such as Senator Paul Sandoval and former Denver mayor, Wellington Webb. Earlier this year, Valdez received the Ronald E. Montoya Lifetime Achievement Award from the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Denver. But on Friday, he accepted the Latino Legacy Award with former colleagues and friends in attendance who described him as a friend, a father and mentor. “Ruben is a legacy,” said Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton. “The only reason why we are here today, the whole reason why we have the number of Latinos and Latinas in the Senate and in the house, can be laid at the feet of Ruben Valdez.” JDLI has been active in the county since 2009, a successor to the Jefferson County Democratic Chicano Caucus which started
in 1974. The group aims to engage Hispanics in Jeffco to promote their participation in political office while working to ensure the Hispanic community’s needs are met. Today, JDLI has over 35 members who meet every month at the Jefferson County Democratic Office and supports the 13 Latinos which work in Colorado’s general assembly. “Everything that affects the general population affects us, we need to gain and retain entry into these organizations,” said Grace Griego, chairwoman of JDLI. Former U.S. Senator and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar presented the Latino Legacy Award to a grinning Valdez. “I was privileged to be born here,” Valdez said. “Born in this great state in the greatest nation in the
world and you know, all of you that know me know that I’m an optimist and that my glass is never half empty but always half full -but because of you today my cup runneth over.” Jane Goff, of the Colorado State Board of Education representing Congressional District 7, said it is because of leaders like Valdez which have laid the groundwork for Latino advocacy. “I am so glad this is happening today,” Goff said. “I want young people to be listening and watching and learning and believing they can make a difference.” The Latino Legacy Celebration is sure to make precedent for JDLI who plan to make the reception an annual event.

Horse hoedown is hopping and clopping
Arvada Center looks back on the west By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com The West has had an irresistible pull on Americans since the country’s founding, and since the 19th century explorers, settlers and pioneers forged a new way of life in the wilderness. The West has left an indelible mark on American art, and the Arvada Center is taking visitors through three centuries’ worth of Western inspired creations with its Discovering and Interpreting the West: 19th, 20th and 21st Century Landscapes exhibits. The exhibits will run through Nov. 16. The galleries are open to the public Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday, 1-5 p.m. “We started looking at the Western expansion and how artists moved west, primarily to do landscape work for the government,” said Kristin Bueb, exhibition coordinator and registrar. “There is the whole myth of the wide open west that has been created by the landscape and so for all three of the centuries we look at, we wanted to keep the human out of it.” The journey through time begins in the Main Gallery with 21st Century Landscapes. Bueb said that most modern gallery tackles the idea of
IF YOU GO WHAT: Discovering and Interpreting the West WHERE: Arvada Center 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada WHEN: Through Nov. 16 Monday - Friday - 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday - 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday - 1 to 5 p.m. COST: Free INFORMATION: 720-898-7200 or www. arvadacenter.org the west and its influence, instead of capturing the actual landscapes. “We have artists like Denis Roussel who is recreating some of the early 19th century trips on his motorcycle and using tools from the time to create tin type images,” Bueb said. Media included in the exhibit include photography, painting, drawing, ceramic, video, collage and prints. Going back a hundred years, in the Upper Gallery visitors can look through the 20th Century Landscapes to see how artists looked at a land that was mostly settled by still wild. Bueb said the majority of the works from this ear came from the Collection of Tracy and Sushe Felix, the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center (which was the Broadmoor Art Academy at the time) and the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art. “Nearly all the artists in this section had ties to Colorado and we’re very fortunate to have these schools
out here they were able to visit,” she said. “You can see a lot of the styles at the time in the work, from impressionism to abstraction.” The Theater Gallery hosts the 19th Century Landscapes, all drawn from the enormous Graham and Barbara Curtis Collection. Capturing the exploration of the west as it was happening, the artists made their works into prints that were easier to distribute and would reach a larger audience. “Graham was always interested in the west, and he started by occasionally picking up a print here and there,” said Barbara. “Once he started collecting them , he never stopped.” Kay - Graham and Barbara’s daughter - said it was very important to her father that people see these prints, because so few people had. “There are so many shows within the show that could be done,” Kay said. “He always felt that things that took so much time and care should be saved and that’s what he did.” Graham died in March 2012, and his epitaph - taken from “The Coming American” by Sam Walter Foss — serves as a fitting summation of Discovering and Interpreting the West: Bring me men to match my mountains; Bring me men to match my plains, — Men with empires in their purpose, And new eras in their brains.

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away from the Sept. 17 opening of Odysseo, the new multimedia horse, of course, extravaganza under the big top at the Pepsi Center parking lot. Despite my ever-tightening chest, an indication of how allergic I am to the magnificent creatures, I stayed the course until the last hoof had left the building. The show opened to a crowd of 2,000 who — judging by the standing ovation at the end — were blown away by the blend of equestrian arts, performing arts and high-tech theatrical effects. Sharing the colossal stage with 46 riders, acrobats, aerialists and musicians, the 62 horses stole the spotlight during this blend of equine ballet and old-fashioned rodeo tricks. The opening night also marked Odysseo’s 700th show since the inception of this equine spectacular in 2011. “The entire troupe and myself felt a very warm welcome from the Denver audience”, said Normand Latourelle, Cavalia’s founder and artistic director. “With more than 1 million spectators having been touched by the beauty and majesty of Odysseo since the beginning of this colossal adventure, we are proud to finally present this feel-good show to Denver.” Odysseo offers evening and matinee performances through Oct. 5. Tickets are available at www.cavalia.net or by calling 866-999-8111.

Rocky mascot debuts burger
Hard Rock Cafe Denver, in the Denver Pavilions on the 16th Street Mall, pays homage to Denver Nuggets’ mascot Rocky with The Rocky Burger. Created by Rocky himself, the burger is crafted with a brioche bun; two fourounce burger patties, made of premium ground beef and brisket; two slices of pepper jack cheese; a fried egg; two strips of bacon and buttermilk fried onion strings. The Rocky Burger is served with french fries and a house-made Skittles-infused tangy barbecue sauce for dunking, as Skittles are Rocky’s favorite snack. This burger will be available at Hard Rock Cafe Denver exclusively, for a limited time. A portion of the proceeds from the $13.95 burger will be donated to Special Olympics Colorado Project UNIFY. “We are excited to partner with Rocky Parker continues on Page 13

Wazee Supper Club celebrates
Wazee Supper Club, in Denver’s historic LoDo neighborhood at 15th and Wazee, is celebrating big this month with a 40th anniversary party on Sept. 26 with throwback prices of $19.74 on supreme pizzas all day, along with 40-cent pints of Rail Yard Ale served in commemorative Wazee anniversary pint glasses for the first 100 guests, starting at 6 p.m.
“We’re so proud to be celebrating the 40th birthday of Wazee Supper Club,” said Lee Driscoll, Breckenridge-Wynkoop CEO. “With so many new places opening up in Denver, it’s a major celebration to recognize one of the original places that’s been serving Denver for four decades. This throwback party is our way of thanking our loyal customers who’ve been such an important part of the Wazee’s history.” Detroit natives Angelo and Jim Karagas founded Wazee Supper Club in 1974, many years before the neighborhood was nicknamed LoDo. The location received a facelift in 2012 and kept the well-known dumbwaiter, nostalgic Frigidaire and black-and-white checkerboard floors.

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Donning a mix of casual attire with elegant gowns and tuxedos, citizens across the Front Range will open the season of giving with an inaugural ball. Top Hats and Ball Caps, a celebratory fundraiser for the Arvada Community Food Bank (ACFB) will be held Oct. 11, at the Lamar Street Center, 5889 Lamar St. Modeled after Arvada’s former annual charity ball, Simply Grand, organizers Sandy Martin and Judith Denham said the event is set to take the bases as one of Arvada’s signature events. “To sum it up in three words, it’s going to be fun, food, and fundraising — for the food bank,” Martin said. Created as a fundraiser for the food bank, the event will be themed around the grandeur and down-to-earth spirit of the community. Attendees are en a celebration of community and the work being done within the food bank. Held 6 to 11 p.m., the event will feature the music from Denver band, Chase N The Dream; a dance floor; both a live and silent, mobile auction; a photo booth and more. “This is one of the largest events in Arvada for the year,” Denham said. “It raises money for a cause that increasingly needs it, plus it really is a time for people to get together and have fun.” For the live auction, attendees can bid on a variety of prizes, including an African safari, a week-long trip to Steamboat Springs, and Broncos and Rockies sports memorabilia. New to the silent auction scene, bidders will participate by placing bids through an application on their smart
devices, such as an iPad, iPhone or Android smart phones, and will receive notifications for those bids. Along with the dance and the auctions, the event will feature specialty food and libations from Arvada eatery Breadwinners Catering and Gluten Free Things; deserts from La Patisserie Francaise; and an “Elegant” and “Ballcap” beers brewed by the Arvada Beer Company for the occasion. “With the attire, the menu, everything is around the event, it’s not a stuffy gala, it’s a fun event, for an awesome cause,” said Jean Gordon, a member of the public relations team. Outside of the festivities, the event funds a larger picture. The food bank, which serves the Arvada, Wheat Ridge, and sections of Westminster and Broomfield, is looking to raise $50,000 for the organization, with the funds going directly towards food assistance programs. “While the recession you would say is over, and some people are doing well, our clients are not,” said Martin, executive director of the food bank. “They’re still as bad off as they were before.” The ACFB has been serving those in need for more than 36 years, feeding approximately 53,000 individuals annually. “It’s the pride of our community to make sure that everybody is taken care of,” Martin said.

Getting the word out ‘Yes on 2A’ group addresses youth By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com At a “Yes on 2A” meeting on Sept. 18, community leaders spoke to attendees about the danger legal marijuana poses to youth and made a plea to get people active about the coming vote in November. “The ballots go out Oct. 14 and close on Nov. 4 so we want this to be a kick-off effort,” said Jim Otton, one of the founders of the “Yes on 2A” campaign. “We want people to get out walking the neighborhoods and talking to people.” Dan Cohrs, CFO of Colorado Christian University, spoke about the issue from a business perspective, saying
that the university elected to stay in Lakewood in 2011 and that represents a huge investment in the community. “That kind of decision is made in boardrooms every day,” he said. “What is the decision to allow recreational marijuana businesses in Lakewood going to do to our reputation and property values?” Cohrs called legal marijuana an “evil” that Lakewood residents have a second chance to do something about. Bob Doyle, executive director of the Colorado Tobacco Education and Prevention Alliance, addressed legal marijuana use from a health standpoint, citing the similarities between cigarette campaigns of the 20th century to recent efforts by marijuana
companies to market their product. “Commercialization began under the guise of medicine, but the science will catch up,” he said. “They’re making the drug more appealing to children with all the THC infused soda, candy and other bright colored items.” The final speaker of the evening was Ron Castagna, recently retired principal of Lakewood High School. “It’s inconceivable to me that we’ve gotten to this place, but we are so close to stopping it in Lakewood,” he said. “There are enough people to make a difference if we can get people involved.” For more information on the campaign, visit www.facebook.com/LakewoodYeson2A.

THEY’RE BACK

Bears look good after Chatfield win Bear Creek makes playoff push early in the season By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com LAKEWOOD - Is Bear Creek football back? It is starting to look that way after the Bears survived Chatfield in a 42-39 victory Thursday at Jeffco Stadium. Bear Creek improved to 3-1 on the season as its offense again broke out for huge production. Moreover, the Bears beat a Chargers team that won nine games last
season and is a perennial contender. Senior quarterback Nick Madrid led the Bears to victory with his three combined touchdowns. Madrid went 9-for-17 passing for 108 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions. But Madrid also showed off his wheels, rushing for an incredible 253 yards on 19 carries and scoring two rushing touchdowns. The senior leader ran for an impressive 13.3 yards per carry. And while Madrid was singlehandedly responsible for 361 total yards of offense he needed help to bury Chatfield. Bear Creek combined to rush for 539 yards as a team on 54 carries. Junior Tomas Randolph ran the ball 18 times for 101
yards and senior Olabisi Johnson ran the ball five times for 71 yards. The Bears also got a pair of rushing touchdowns from sophomore Andre Renteria, and both senior Felipe Cervantes and sophomore Neil Vanlerberghe caught touchdowns. But even after all the offense that Bear Creek produced it still needed to make a couple big defensive plays which they did as they intercepted Chatfield senior quarterback Kyle Winkler twice, including during the game’s final minutes to seal the deal for the Bears. Winkler went 22-for-35 for 229 yards two touchdowns and two interceptions, and senior running back Connor Aycock
ran the ball 19 times for 83 yards for the Chargers. Chatfield fell to 2-2 on its season and both the Chargers and Bear Creek are 1-1 in 5A Jeffco, both looking up to 2-0 Pomona and Ralston Valley in the standings. But if the Bears plan on breaking through this season and becoming a playoff team they will have to continue to play at a high level and perhaps beat either Pomona or Ralston Valley along the way. And we won’t have to wait long to see if the Bear Creek is for real or not. The Bears play Lakewood (Thursday at 7:30 at Jeffco Stadium), Pomona, Ralston Valley and Mullen over their next four games on the schedule.

Golden routs Arvada for first victory of season Demons’ defense comes up big By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com ARVADA - Sooner or later Golden and Arvada football programs are going to have a resurgence. But as of September of 2014 both programs have been down for well over a decade. The Demons took a step toward rebuilding their brand with a monster 37-0 victory over the Bulldogs Friday at North Area Athletic Complex. Arvada and its deception offense made it a game for the first quarter and attempted to try and keep it a competitive affair. However, Golden’s offense erupted for 14 second quarter points and took a 20-0 lead into halftime. The Demons were fueled by four different running backs who all produced at least 30 rushing yards. Golden’s Dvaris Johnson only carried the ball six times during the game. But the senior gained 88 rushing yards and had two big touchdowns. In addition, senior Cole Greff ran the ball three times for 30 yards and a touchdown and junior Chase Daniels had a 52yard run. But the Demons and their rushing attack weren’t the only ones who carried their team to victory. Golden junior quarterback Jaxson Meyer threw a pair of touchdowns, one to senior Davis Miller and the other to junior Brandon Bowker. The victory for Golden was its first of the season and the first in near a calendar year. The Demons have won just one game in all of their past three seasons. But this Golden team is better than all three of those previous teams. The Demons have a talented but developing
Arvada’s deception offense could be tricky for their opponents as numerous players could potentially touch the ball after the snap. But the Bulldogs weren’t tricky enough as they fell to Golden 37-0 Friday at North Area Athletic Complex. Photo by Dan Williams quarterback in Meyer and a defense that is drastically improved from last season. This win as a part of this season as a whole could be a stepping stone for a Golden team that could be a contender next season. Arvada on the other hand is still in search of its first win of the season — a season that is starting to spin out of control.
The Bulldogs are 0-5 on the season but they were competitive in their first two games of the season which they narrowly lost to Mitchell and Sheridan. However, they have been blown out in three straight games since then falling 54-0 to Berthoud, 55-0 to Fort Morgan and 37-0 to Golden on Friday night. Arvada will need to get its act together
to avoid going winless this season. The Bulldogs have a bye this week but will host Centaurus Thursday at 6 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Golden (1-3) and its suddenly stout defense will attempt to inch back to .500 when they meet Lincoln Friday at 4 p.m. at All-City Field.

D’Evelyn keeps Farmers down with league win But Wheat Ridge still has chance to win 4A league title By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com LAKEWOOD - 4A Jeffco soccer is having a banner year. Perhaps the best poundfor-pound league in the state in any classification 4A Jeffco features seven different teams that could win a league championship — and that doesn’t include Valor Christian. But two of those seven teams that do have designs on winning a league crown battled on Thursday with D’Evelyn hanging on to beat Wheat Ridge 2-1 at Lakewood Memorial Field. The Jaguars got goals from senior Dewitt Davis and sophomore Wesley Tedstrom and then used great second half defense and goaltending to give D’Evelyn its second league win of the season. Credit senior goaltender Chris Lindon for enabling the Jaguars to hold off a late charge the Farmers made as they tried to tie the contest. Lindon made six key saves and allowed his team’s defense to play confidently down the stretch. Lindon and his teammates made one mistake and Wheat Ridge’s Max Sweeney made them pay as the senior scored a tough goal and helped keep his team within striking distance. Moreover, the Farmers outshot the Jaguars 6-4 in
Wheat Ridge and D’Evelyn players look for a launched ball. But it was the Jaguars that topped the farmers 2-1 Thursday at Lakewood Memorial Field. Photo by Dan Williams the contest but D’Evelyn scored on two of those four shots on goal beating Wheat Ridge junior Chase Odean. The loss for the Farmers keeps them winless in league at 0-2, despite their 4-2-1 record and strong start to their season. Wheat Ridge went undefeated over the first four games of the season scor-
ing 10 goals in the process. However, the Farmers dropped both of their first two league games falling 2-1 to Evergreen and 2-1 to the Jaguars. Wheat Ridge did snap a two game losing skid with a 2-1 nonleague victory Saturday at Lincoln High School. With the victory D’Evelyn now sits on top of
the 4A Jeffco league standings. The Jaguars have looked like one of the best 4A teams in the state this season. The Jaguars (6-1, 2-0 in league) will play Standley Lake Friday at 4 p.m. at Lakewood Memorial Field. The Farmers (4-2-1, 0-2 in league) will play Green Mountain Friday at 6 p.m. at LMF.

Wheat Ridge’s 2-0 start has turned into a 2-2 season as the Farmers were beat by Dakota Ridge 38-14 Friday at Jeffco Stadium. The Farmers fell out of the top ten rankings with the loss. Photo by Dan Williams
Also, Pomona survives a Lakewood scare in thriller By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com LAKEWOOD - What looked like a get-right game for Wheat Ridge turned into an ugly 38-14 loss to Dakota Ridge Friday at Jeffco Stadium. The Eagles jumped out to a 14-point first quarter lead and then took a 20-0 lead into halftime behind junior Jeremy Lujan who rushed for a ridiculous four touchdowns and 331 yards on just 24 carries. Lujan averaged over 13 yards per carry and gashed the Farmers’ defense all night. Wheat Ridge finally got it going in the third quarter scoring 14 points as senior Jordan Jones rushed for 205 and a touchdown. But too many mistakes caught up with the Farmers like the two interceptions from their junior quarterback Nicco Young. Wheat Ridge (2-2) will play Green Mountain Friday at 4 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium. Lakewood/Pomona: The Tigers nearly changed the landscape of 5A football with an upset victory but the Panthers survived for a 34-27 victory Friday at Lakewood Memorial Field. Lakewood took charge early in the contest and took a 21-14 lead into halftime. Senior quarterback Antonio Martinez went 10-for-17 with two touchdowns and an interception. But showing again they are the class of 5A Jeffco Pomona scored 20 second half points including a fourth quarter touchdown that the Tigers could never overcome. The Panthers (3-1) improved to 2-0 in league play and will now play Arvada West Friday at North Area Athletic Complex. Lakewood (2-2) fell to 0-2 in league play and will face Bear Creek Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium. Alameda: After opening the season with back-to-back wins the Pirates have now dropped two straight contests. Alameda fell 20-14 to Denver North Saturday at All-City Field. The Pirates and the Vikings were tied 6-6 at halftime but North scored 14 third quarter points to blow the game wide open. Alameda scored a fourth quarter touchdown but the rally fell short as the team drops to 2-2 on the standings and 0-2 in league play. The Pirates will attempt to get back on track when they host Bishop Machebeuf Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Faith Christian: The Eagles produced their second consecutive huge victory after routing Manual 42-0 Friday at Faith Christian High School. New head coach Ralph Nance has Faith Christian at 3-1 and it looks like the program hasn’t skipped a beat despite the loss of longtime coach Blair Hubbard. The Eagles have scored a combined 96 points over the past two games and the defense has given up only 42 points over four games this season. Faith Christian will host Range View Academy Friday at 7 p.m. Ralston Valley: The Mustangs stayed perfect on the season and cruised to a 38-14 victory over Columbine Thursday at North Area Athletic Complex. Ralston Valley scored at least one touchdown in every quarter and was fueled by senior running back Andrew Wingard who recorded 187 total yards and three touchdowns. In addition, senior Jack Martin had a big game defensively totally five tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. The Mustangs (4-0, 2-0 in league) will play Chatfield Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex.
