Celebrating culture, life of radio producer American Indian Festival offers free entertainment for two days By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com When radio show producer Susie Aikman died in June, the modest two-day festival she was helping to plan to honor American Indians blossomed into a large-scale event. Organizers of the festival had first thought maybe 200-300 would attend to see a handful of performers throughout the weekend. They now estimate a thousand people may attend the festival to enjoy close to a dozen performers, 22 vendors, silent auctions, children’s activities and dinner and a movie. The American Indian Festival runs Saturday, Sept. 27, and Sunday, Sept. 28, at the Good Shepherd United Methodist Church, 3960 E. 128th Ave., Thornton. “We started out with a little festival but, with her unfortunate death, people came out of the woodwork,” said Lynne Holman, a Cherokee Indian and festival organizer. “She was very involved with her Cherokee

heritage and was loved by many.” Aikman, who lived in Denver, produced the show Alternative Voices, an American Indian radio program that aired every Sunday morning for 28 years. The festival will be in her memory. “As a church, we are interested in the diversity in our communities, and the festival is planned to honor that diversity,” said Karen Bueno, a member of the United Methodist Conference Committee on Native American Ministries, where the idea for the festival originated. The festival’s theme is Bridges to Respect, because organizers wanted to promote respect and acceptance of different cultures, Holman said. “We wanted to bring to the community the idea that there are thousands of Native Americans living in the Denver area, but nobody knows who we are because we are low key,” said the Thornton resident. The two headlining acts are flutist Eric Many Winds Herrera and singer-storyteller Rose Red Elk, whose stage name is Red Feather Woman. “Most of my audience members are not Indians,” said Elk, who lives in Wheat Ridge. “I hope I educate them on my culture with some of the traditional stories. But mostly, it’s important that we connect.”

Both Cynthia Coffman and Don Quick say their positions on how to handle gay-marriage court battles are in the best interest of same-sex couples who are seeking nuptials. The two candidates for attorney general discussed gay marriage and other topics during recent, separate sit-down interviews with Colorado Community Media. Coffman, a Republican deputy attorney general, and Quick, a Democrat and former Adams County district attorney, are locked in a key down-ticket race. Coffman, who is married to U.S.

Rep. Mike Coffman, touts her experience in state government and knowledge of office operations as reasons for voters to support her candidacy. Quick, a Wheat Ridge native, notes his record as Adams County DA, including his prosecution of government corCoffman ruption among officials there. And he served as chief deputy for attorney general Ken Salazar from 2002 to 2005. The race is one of the most closely watched attorney general’s races in the country, with significant campaign dollars come in from outside donors. But, all of that aside, the race could come down to gay marriage. “There is no constitutional de-

fense for treating gay and lesbian couples differently,” Quick said. “There are no second-class citizens.” But Coffman said Quick’s personal views about gay marriage have nothing to do with the role the attorney general plays in this issue. “I have a perQuick sonal opinion about the issue, which I’m not going to share because to me, my personal opinion doesn’t matter,” she said. Current Attorney General John Suthers, a Republican who is termlimited, has defended the state’s 2006 gay marriage ban in court battles that reached new heights over the summer. In June, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals — which has jurisdiction

over Colorado cases — ruled Utah’s gay marriage ban to be unconstitutional. However, the court stayed its decision, knowing that the case would ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court. The court’s stay didn’t stop the county clerk in Boulder from issuing same-sex marriage licenses. Shortly thereafter, a state district court judge in Adams County ruled in a separate case that Colorado’s gay marriage ban is also unconstitutional. That judge also issued a stay in the decision. Despite calls from gay lawmakers and Gov. John Hickenlooper not to appeal the Adams County ruling, Suthers has taken the case to the Colorado Supreme Court. And, along the way, Suthers has waged a court battle with the Boulder County Clerk’s Office in an effort to stop it from issuing more sameGala continues on Page 7

For dad and daughter, a game that two can coach Caley Mitchell stands next to third base, a white baseball cap shading her eyes, a single braid running down her back. Intensity radiates from her small frame as she leans her hands on her knees and looks toward the batter at home plate. “OK, line drive, two-three, you can do it,” she says. “Big zone, fight it off. Good job.” She claps several times. “You can do it. Right here.” The batter strikes out. New inning. “All right, let’s go, hustle,” Caley tells her players as they run onto the field. “Hey, a lot of eyes … you never know, you never know.” In another ballpark, on another day, Toby Tabola, sunglasses perched atop the baseball cap on his head, paces next to third base, stops to send his batter her signals, then leans his hands on his knees. “Get it started, six. C’mon, you can do it,” he says, his voice quiet, confident. “Don’t give up here. You got it. Good job.” He claps and nods encouragement. “C’mon, six, go get it.” The ball pops up. New inning. Toby steps into the dugout, but his words follow the players as they take the field. “A lot of eyes, ladies. Let’s go!” If you listen and watch closely, the similarities between the two softball coaches are apparent. What they say. Mannerisms. How they play the game. Not surprising when you learn they are father and daughter. But what defines them is what you can’t see — the story behind the game, one that tells of family and love, legacies instilled, life lessons well learned. “Being part of something bigger than yourself, such as a team, teaches people to be humble and to put the greater good before yourself,” Caley says. “Being involved in a team sport is one of the best things that ever happened to me. My dad taught me this from a very young age, and I try to instill that in

my players — that belonging to a team, and experiencing the joys and challenges that come with it, is truly a blessing.” The story begins when Caley, now 29, was just 4. Her grandparents sponsored a longtime men’s fast-pitch team, Stenseth Agency. Toby, now 56, played on his own fast-pitch team. Caley always tagged along. “She grew up around the ballparks watching tournaments and watching me play,” Toby says. “She was kind of born into the culture.” Toby, a high school psychology and sociology teacher who retired in 2012 after 32 years, coached football in his early days. Friday night games meant Caley riding with the coaches, eating sunflower seeds, grabbing Cokes at the gas station. “I have vivid memories of sitting and coloring and listening to the coaches strategizing,” Caley says. “I was always part of a team situation. That’s why I love this.” Around 6 years old, Caley picked up a bat for T-ball. Softball started the next year. She joined a competitive summer team at 11, and Toby began coaching her then. “We had a very good father-daughter, coach-player relationship,” Toby says. Caley paid attention to fundamentals. She listened. She learned. She didn’t get angry when her dad corrected her. “She was a joy to coach.” Caley laughs. She points out at her wed-

ding, in his toast at the reception, Toby noted how “she was a very coachable kid.” In high school, Caley played second base and was good enough to earn all-league honors. A shoulder injury the summer before her senior year changed plans to play in college. Instead, she focused on becoming a social studies teacher. But during the 2006-07 school year, while she was student teaching, she also found her way back to softball as an assistant coach — for her dad, in his first year as head coach at Ponderosa High School in Parker. The next year, Castle View High School in Castle Rock hired Caley to teach. And after three years as assistant softball coach there, she became head coach. The two schools are league rivals. Caley: “The first time we played each other, my dad hugged me at the plate and … gave me a white rose.” Then they exchanged lineups. Toby: “It was a special moment. This is pretty cool to go up to home plate to compete against your daughter. I really didn’t care about winning or losing — it was a cool moment.” The two admittedly mirror each other in many ways. Caley: “I find myself saying things all the time that I think, `I must say that ‘cause you say that.’ ” Toby: “Our philosophies are way similar.” Caley: “Yeah, because I got it from you.” Toby: “A lot of thought went into that philosophy.” Caley: “It’s a great philosophy.” The philosophy is small ball or as Toby calls it, “smart ball.” Or as Caley explains, bunting. Toby: “She knows everything I’m going to do, pretty much. She knows when I’m going to bunt.” Caley: “‘Cause it’s always when I would bunt.”

They both believe in the life lessons taught by the game. Toby: “It builds character. You’re forced to face challenges; you don’t get everything you want when you want it. … You can’t be successful if you’re selfish. It forces you to be bigger than yourselves.” Caley isn’t surprised she’s walking in her dad’s footsteps. “I knew I wanted to be a teacher and a coach from a very young age,” Caley says. “I’ve had a really good role model. Even if other parts of his life were stressful, my dad would always say, `I like my job.’ He was always happy in what he was doing. … He showed that he could have such a large sphere of influence and that choosing a career based on what you love is way more important than money or status.” Toby, for his part, couldn’t be prouder of Caley. Facing her on the softball field — where their bond has been nurtured — is an unexpected bonus. “It’s been a blessing,” he says, “a total blessing.” Caley and Toby haven’t played each other yet this year. The matchup should be good — the teams boast two of the state’s best pitchers. Someday, Caley would like Toby to coach with her. They look at each other: Wouldn’t that be fun? And wouldn’t that just be a fitting end to the story behind this game. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

Treasurer’s race features big names Markey aims to take Stapleton’s job By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two candidates with good name recognition are seeking a job as part of a downticket ballot race that isn’t getting the same kind of attention as other statewide contests. “It doesn’t get talked about compared to the congressional races, but the state treasurer is an important job,” said former Congresswoman Betsy Markey, the Democratic candidate. To succeed, Markey will have to defeat current Treasurer Walker Stapleton. Stapleton is the great-grandson of former Denver Mayor Craig Roberts Stapleton and is related to the Bush dynasty that has produced two U.S. presidents. But Stapleton said what he’s accomplished as treasurer has little to do with his family ties. “I think I’ve proven that I have a track record of keeping my head down and working for Colorado,” he said. “My message has resonated with the people of Colorado and I’m glad that it has.” The state treasurer oversees billions of dollars in state investments and also sits

on the board of the Public Employee Retirement Association, among other duties. Stapleton has held the seat since 2010, after he defeated incumbent Democrat Cary Kennedy in a tight race. Stapleton believes voters will reward the accomplishments of his first term. He backed policies that consolidated debt and refinanced the state’s unemployment insurance system. Stapleton also touts treasurer’s office-backed legislation that carried with it overwhelming bi- Markey partisan support at the Legislature. “My perspective when I ran for office was when you get an opportunity to deal with economic policy issues, you have an opportunity to cross political alliances,” he said. Markey served in Congress from 20092011, representing the state’s 4th Congressional District before losing her reelection bid to current Rep. Cory Gardner. Following her loss to Gardner, Markey worked for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Markey has experience in finance, having worked as a budget analyst for the Department of Treasury.

“You’re working with the state legislature to promote economic development in the state, manage investments wisely and pay bills on time,” Markey said of the role of the state treasurer. “It’s an opportunity to work with legislators and the private sector to make sure were getting the best from our investments.”

PERA divides rivals Markey and Stapleton have much different views on one key area — the handling of the state’s Stapleton PERA fund. Stapleton has made PERA reform his chief cause since taking office four years ago and he has been critical of PERA for maintaining about $26 billion in unfunded liabilities. “That’s a figure that’s a staggering amount of money,” he said. “That’s larger than Colorado’s entire budget in any given year.” Stapleton tried to see how much money the state pays out to its top 20 percent of benefit recipients by filing a lawsuit seeking that information — an effort that was

supported by Gov. John Hickenlooper. However, the Colorado Supreme Court declined to hear the lawsuit, on the heels of a 2013 Court of Appeals decision that ruled that Stapleton could not have unfettered access to records. Markey said the failed lawsuit is an example of Stapleton being too focused on a single issue. “I haven’t seen him focus on anything other than PERA, quite frankly,” Markey said. “I don’t think you should use the state’s retirement plan as a political football. If you think there are structural problems in the program, then bring it to the state Legislature.” Markey said the state’s retirement system is in good shape. She points to 2010 bipartisan legislation that sought to shore up PERA by making changes to the state’s retirement age and also reformed employee/employer contributions. But Stapleton insists that the current PERA system is unsustainable and that the state needs a fiscally sound treasurer to stay on top it. “It’s easy to whistle a happy tune while walking past the graveyard,” he said. “We will have a math problem in this state, sooner or later.”

NEWS IN A HURRY Arvadan pleads guilt to terror charge An Arvada woman who attempted to travel to the Middle East to aid a terrorist group pleaded guilty to a terrorism charge in Denver federal court. Shannon Conley, 19, was arrested in April at Denver International Airport, after she attempted to board an international flight on her way to join with Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). On Sept. 10 Conley pleaded guilty to one count of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization. As part of the plea deal, she has agreed to cooperate with the FBI in sharing any information she might have about ISIL or its

supporters. Court documents state that Conley, a Muslim convert, came into contact with a Yousr Mouelhi on the internet, a professed member of ISIL. The two discussed waging violent jihad, eventually becoming engaged, and making plans for Conley to train in weapons and first aid training, and join him in Syria. Conley, a former Arvada West High School student, obtained her General Education Diploma (GED) and was a Certified Nursing Assistant (CAN) in the State of Colorado. She faces up to five years in a federal prison and a $250,000 fine. Sentencing is scheduled for January.

Time to run/walk the ‘Dawg’ 5K to benefit BHS football boosters By Michelle Boyer

Mkboyer8@gmail.com It’s time to lace up the sneakers for the first ever 5K Dawg Run/Walk on Sunday, Oct. 12, with registration at 9 a.m. and race starting at 10 a.m. at the Bulldog Football Stadium. Denver traffic reporter Ken Clark from Fox 31-KDVR will be the race announcer and be the Master of Ceremony. The Dawg Run will help benefit the Brighton High School Bulldog Football Booster Club. Proceeds from the run will go to create scholarships for kids to go to football camps next year. This summer the athletes went to a camp at Colorado State University and at Mesa State. “It’s a total team event and we like for most of the guys to be able to go,” Brighton Football Booster Club member Stacie Griffith said. “For every 50 people who register for the race, a scholarship will be given to one athlete who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend the summer football camp. “Coach Pat Sandoval also presents the booster club with a wish list of what the football team needs that usually won’t be provided at all with the funds used to operate the football program.” The booster club has helped with the purchasing of training equipment and

a training sled. The club is working towards purchasing a vertimax and trying to get end zone cameras as well. Griffith said another priority for the football team is for a new equipment shed built on-site. Each year the booster club also pays for the end of the season banquet. “Runs have increased in popularity over the past five years,” she said. “This is the thing to do for fundraising because it’s what the current generation is into. They’re more health conscience, and they enjoy events like running.” The race will be pet friendly, so bring your fury friend along. There’ll be water stations along the route. Besides a run, those interested in walking the race are also invited. Prizes will be awarded to the top female and male finishers in each age group and for both running and walking races. “We’re so excited for all the fun to be had,” she said. “Snacks will be provided before the start of the race. There will also be a cheering committee and a postrace party with a Barbecue. Raffles will happen with the bib number and there’ll be plenty of chances to win as there will be many vendors supporting the event. “Vendors are still welcome to participate until Sept. 28 and the Brighton High School Football Booster Club is always open to support,” she said.

Cemetery walk seeking volunteers Fun and informative walk through Elmwood and Pioneer By Lou Ellen Bromley

bromleyclan@hotmail.com Cemetery Manager, Aaron Corr and his staff are putting together a cemetery walking tour for Oct. 25, and asking for the help of Brighton residents and fam-

ily members of the people buried in Elmwood and The Pioneer cemeteries. Corr is hoping to have 10 volunteers, willing to dress in period customs, and give an oral presentation about a person buried in the two cemeteries. Have you ever wondered who is buried in these two cemeteries? What they did in their lifetimes and how they ended up in this area? There are some very interesting people buried out there, city leaders, farmers, pioneers, and a confederate soldier, every one of these people have a story.

Corr is planning to bring the history of Brighton’s past residents to life, in a fun and creative way and answer some questions about the, now, most quiet and law-abiding residents of Brighton. But have they always been this quiet and law-abiding? What great things did they do in their lifetimes and what great stories could be told about them? If you are interested in helping out in this event, please contact Cemetery Manager Aaron Corr at 303-655-2060. If you have a story you would like to share with Aaron Corr about any of the

three cemetery’s in Brighton, Elmwood, Fairview or Pioneer, and would prefer, you can email your memory of a past resident to acorr@brightonco.gov or mail it to Aaron Corr, Cemetery Manager 14800 Old Brighton Rd. Brighton CO. 80601. Please contact Corr as soon as possible if you are interested in being a part of this event because space is limited. Any stories would be appreciated because Aaron would like to make this a yearly event, and someday compile a book of stories of all three cemeteries.

All about the election process, candidates The frost is on the pumpkins and it’s time to think about elections. Soon you will receive a ballot in the mail. There will be candidate’s names and school districts 12 and 50 issues, also maybe some special district issues, depending on where your taxing districts are located. The election offices are running on overtime trying to get those ballots out by about Oct. 20 at the latest.

At the top Starting at the top we have a tight race between incumbent U.S. Sen. Mark Udall and challenger Cory Gardner. I don’t know Cory but I know Mark very well. I served in the Colorado House of Representatives for several years sitting next to Mark. He is a fine, decent, hard-working guy. I do wish he would support that Keystone pipeline.

Another horse race Now, if you want to influence the outcome between Gov. John Hickenlooper for governor and Bob Beauprez, this one is a close call. I don’t know either of them very well. Incumbent Hick (as he

is called) has made a few blunders and Beauprez lost a big election several years ago. He’s a big time bank owner and that may turn folks off.

Closer to home

No matter where you live in Adams County, this is a ballot issue of great importance. I’m referring to the issue that will give us a five county commissioner board instead of the now three-member board. I campaigned hard for this one. A county with over 400,000 residents definitely should have a larger board. A three member board puts too much power in the hands of only three people. Although

there are five names on the ballot, the choice will probably be split between Joe Domenico, Republican, and Steve O’Dorisio, Democrat. There are many political campaigns but so far few candidate forums. But right here at the MAC (Mature Adult Center) on Thursday, Oct. 2, 2-4 p.m. the Adams County Aging Network is hosting a forum for county commissioner candidates. The location is 3295 W. 72nd Ave. in Westminster. This is a good way to get better informed on issues that directly affect us.

Next week

Next week we’ll discuss those two school district (12 and 50) mill levy and bond issues. These are very important and will cost you some money for a mill levy increase. Get up to speed on that issue. Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned. Vi June is past Democratic state representative for House District 35. She is a former mayor of Westminster and a former newspaper publisher. A Westminster resident for more than four decades, she has five grown children and eight grandchildren.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Has the NFL image been tarnished by recent incidents? Given the recent incidents of domestic violence and child abuse involving NFL stars, is the league at risk of having its image tarnished? We asked folks around Denver for their thoughts.

“I think the NFL holds on to information and the cover-up tarnishes the image more than the actions themselves.” Sheryl Carpenter, Denver

“Yes I do. I think they should get rid of them.” Dan Garcia, Denver

“I think so. It goes to show that, in the NFL, all they care about is ability, not integrity.” Donovan Breazeale, Denver

“I’m interested in seeing what the league does, but I don’t want to pass judgement until everything plays out.” Q Crutchfield, Denver

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Many thanks The Brighton Legacy Foundation would like to thank everyone who attended our Historic Walking Tour. It turned out to be a great success, and all of us learned a lot about Historic Downtown. First, this tour would not have been possible without the research of the Brighton Historic Preservation Commission especially Pat Reither and Aja Tibbs. We thank the following businesses who allowed the tour groups to come in and see parts of their buildings that most of the public does not have the opportunity to see: Milagros, Joonbugz, Jordinellis, Main Street Creatives, and Creative U. Many thanks to our very knowledgeable tour guides: Mel Bacon, Wilma Rose, and Ken Kreutzer and to our local authors Dan Blegen, Albin Wagner,

sex marriage licenses. Most recently, Suthers led a group of 17 attorneys general asking the Supreme Court to take up arguments on same-sex marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma.

Suthers’ approach scrutinized

Critics have said Suthers is delaying the inevitability of gay marriage. But Coffman believes her boss is doing the right thing — and that she would follow his path on his handling of this issue. Coffman said Suthers’ recent filing with the Supreme Court will end up fast-tracking the case toward a quicker resolution. When asked if one could make the argument that Suthers’ handling of the case is actually in the best interest of gay couples, because it could get the issue to the Supreme Court more quickly, Coffman said, “Yes, absolutely. I believe that.” But Quick doesn’t see how continuing to fight against gay marriage in court is helping same-sex couples realize their dreams of marriage equality. “I think for a large segment of society, not just gay and lesbian couples, but for people who have family members that are gay and lesbian couples,” it means they have to wait even longer, he said. Quick dismisses arguments against gay marriage that have nothing to do with the Constitution, especially those that cite procreation as a reason to prevent gays from getting married. “John Suthers hasn’t procreated in 30 years, and I haven’t in over 20 years, but somehow I think our wives both think our marriages have value and they’re important,” Quick said.

and Pat Reither. We would also like to thank Bright’N Jazz for their beautiful music, the staff at the Armory who had this facility ready for us, and those who donated items for our silent auction. We greatly appreciate the support from so many in our community. The Brighton Legacy Foundation provides grant funding to many of our local nonprofit organizations so the money earned from this event will go right back into our community.

at 2 p.m., Raven Dancers at 3 p.m., flutist Bear Limvere at 4 p.m. and American Indian Dancers again at 5 p.m. On both days, more than 20 vendors will be selling hand crafted products, such as dream catchers, pipers, moccasins, clothing, skin and jewelry. “One lady sells Native American products for skin care — soap, lotion, those types of things,” Holman said. Attendees are encouraged to bring nonperishable food items, winter clothes, boots, coats, diapers, bedding and school supplies to benefit the Caring Association of Native Americans.

But Coffman said that perhaps Quick doesn’t understand that the role of the Attorney General’s Office is to defend the state’s laws, regardless of whether he likes them. “(U.S. Attorney General) Eric Holder has been the poster child of picking and choosing what laws to defend,” she said. “I think he has violated his oath to defend the Constitution of the United States by picking and choosing. And to me, what Don is suggesting is the same thing: ‘I’m going to decide what is constitutional or not.’” Coffman said Quick forgets that Suthers took heat from conservative groups when his office filed a discrimination complaint against a Lakewood baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple. Suthers’ office also defended the state’s recent Democrat-sponsored gun-control laws in a court battle this year. Quick has also been critical of Suthers for joining several other attorneys general in opposing the Affordable Care Act’s birthcontrol mandate — the “Hobby Lobby” case that succeeded at the Supreme Court. Quick said he “strongly believes that a woman should make her health care decisions.” But Coffman finds those arguments offensive. “We have birth control available to women, abortion is available, and to consistently try to be deceptive and inflame women on those issues, I just think it’s politics. It’s irresponsible,” Coffman said. But Quick thinks that Coffman is the one who doesn’t have a grip on what the job of attorney general is all about. He believes that an attorney general has a duty to challenge a law if he or she “has grave doubts about constitutionality of the law.” “I’ll defend laws whether I agree or disagree, but if there is an intentional targeting of a group denying them a fundamental right, then I will not defend that law,” he said.

Grimm seeks second term By Anne Rhoades

rhoades.anne@gmail.com Brigitte Grimm is seeking a second term as Adams County treasurer. When she began her first term in 2010, she brought with her an MBA in accounting and finance and a bachelor’s degree in business information systems, in addition to numerous years of experience in the private business sector. One of Grimm’s first projects in office was to regain public confidence in government and to “change the way government does business.” In order to accomplish that, Grimm had to implement changes that departed from customary methods. The first step was to build trust within her own team. “That involved setting achievable goals, collaborating on the process to achieve those goals, identifying necessary milestones, rewarding achievements, and creating an environment that pursued a continuGrimm ous cycle of improvements,” Grimm said. Her success was aided by 15 years of experience in accounting and finance roles in which she managed both domestic and international company budgets, implemented innovative technological solutions, and inspired high standards and personal motivation in her employees. Grimm’s mission was always to make the Adams County Treasurer’s office more “efficient, effective, accountable and transparent.” She is a woman of her word; within her first term, she “reduce operating expenditures by over $250,000 annually, resulting in a savings of $1 million every four years for Adams County residents.” Grimm also implemented what she calls “state of the art software and a new website with interactive and real-time results.” She says the technological upgrades save time and money for Adams

County citizens and the Treasurer’s office. “I never campaigned on county time and never used county resources for my campaign,” Grimm said. “(I) refused to spend thousands of tax dollars for ‘out of state’ travel to conferences that didn’t address Colorado law, or benefit the citizens of Adams County.” Grimm hopes to serve again because “It is important to me to keep our innovative momentum moving forward.” She says, “It is “critical that the Treasurer’s office maintain an experienced, educated, consistent, reliable, and dedicated leader.” She contends that allowing a new treasurer at this time would be taking a huge step backwards, “disrupting and reversing recent progress.” She believes that she is not only the best choice, but the only choice. “I have restored integrity in the Adams County Treasurer’s office and kept every promise I made to the citizens of Adams County,” Grimm said. In the next four years Grimm said she plans on building relationships that educate local businesses on the complex laws surrounding personal property tax. “This will involve creating alliances with cities, non-profits, and economic development entities to promote collaborative working relationships with our local businesses.” Grimm adds, “I demand a high performing culture and am dedicated to providing a new government experience in three essential ways: Accountability, Innovative Technology, and Service without Boundaries.” Grimm has a son, Zachary, 25, and a fiance Sean, a veteran Marine who owns a business in Thornton. She includes her three shelter-adopted dogs as part of her family. As an Adams County resident for nearly twenty years, she considers it her pleasure “to protect and grow the assets of Adams County.” She says, “My management style has always been ‘hands on.’ When you call my office, I answer the phone. When you email me, I email back. When you visit my office, I am there to welcome you.”

Brighton Volleyball starts strong Volleyball a family sport for Sarah Shively By Michelle Boyer

Mkboyer8@gmail.com Sarah Shively enjoys playing outside hitter on the Lady Bulldogs volleyball team. “Hitting is a pretty awesome position because you’re lucky enough to be able to end the play, and get the point for your team,” she said. Shively hasn’t played volleyball for very long, but just began playing recreational ball when she was little and that evolved into playing in middle school. “I never really got serious until my freshman year,” she said. “I had my first year of club that winter after the high school season.” Volleyball has always been in Shively’s family; her mom (Denene) and both her Aunts (Kristi and Kelli) also played for Brighton. All three ladies were All-Americans their senior year back in the 1980’s and 1990’s. “Growing up I never felt pressured to play ball, my family just wanted me to do whatever I wanted,” she said. “But when I started playing my freshman year, it just felt right and somewhat natural. My family always jokes that volleyball is in the Jacovetta gene because of my mom, Aunts and cousin playing.” Shively said that in volleyball a person creates amazing, unforgettable relationships with their teammates.

“You spend so much time with them, go through the highs of winning, the lows of losing and in the end, you all have the same goal of playing your hearts out every game in the hopes of coming out on top,” she said. “That is what I love most about volleyball, but also what is so tough about it. You put so much into training, and into competing at your highest level, that sometimes you forget it’s just a game, and just for fun. It becomes so much of who you are that all you want is to be the best that you can be, all the time, right now nothing less.” Shively said this season the Bulldogs have come out strong. “We’re just starting out, but we’re 3-2 overall and are 1-0 in leagues,” she said. The team competed in the Fossil Ridge Tournament Sept. 13 and went 6-6. Shively called the event “a really good tournament, with lots of good competition.” This year Shively will be playing for Colorado Volleyball Academy 181’s team. She played for COVA 171’s team last year and for Epic Volleyball Club her 16’s year. “High School ball and club ball are so different that it’s hard for me to compare the two,” she said. “Last year for club I was a defensive specialist (meaning I only played back row) and for high school I have always been an outside. Club volleyball is a lot more exposure because big tournaments are where you get seen by college coaches.” Last season, Shively received academic all-conference, academic all-state, Most Valuable Player (junior varsity) and her varsity letter. Brighton’s next game will be Sept. 25 at home against Thornton at 6:30 p.m.

Dawgs’ soccer struggles Strong: passion for the sport By Michelle Boyer

The Bulldogs boys’ soccer team has had a rough start to its season with a 2-3 record thus far. “We’re training hard for our next match against Thornton,” sophomore Brady Strong said. “Our team usually all hangs out together at school. I would consider us family. It’s a great feeling to play soccer with some of my best friends.” Most of the team has played on the Platte Valley Soccer Club (which is now F.C. Brighton) their entire soccer careers. Strong said club ball is a lot of fun, but it’s also a great way to continue training as a team. Strong has played soccer since he was 4. “I’ve tried every sport from hockey to baseball to football,” he said. “I’ve never found any of those sports as fun and challenging as soccer. I don’t play any other sports, because honestly soccer controls my life. I love soccer because of the skills, the tricks, the big games, the heartbreaks,

the tackles, the sweat, the pain, the feeling of a win, the feeling of a loss, the chills, the fans, the passion the hope, the challenge, the two-a-day practices, the weekend long tournaments, the injuries, the feeling of making a great pass and the beautiful plays. “There are so many reasons to love soccer. Most people believe soccer is just another sport, it’s not just a game … it’s a passion.” Strong, a defensive midfielder, says his favorite thing about soccer is the beautiful and crazy moves. His least favorite thing is losing. “The job of that position is basically to provide support when on the attack and play defensively at other times,” Strong said. “I’ve played defense during my career, but this year the coaches gave me the opportunity to try a new position and I enjoy it very much. It’s a hard position with a lot of running. This is Strong’s first year as a varsity starter. He hopes to someday make the allconference team. Brighton plays Thornton at home tonight at 7 p.m.

Brighton, Prairie View Football both victorious By Michelle Boyer

Mkboyer8@gmail.com Brighton celebrated the first conference win of the season Friday, beating Northglenn 28-7. “The team has improved each week, it was a good victory for us,” Coach Pat Sandoval said. “The offense only failed once in the red zone, better than seven times compared to last week. As a team we just want to get better every week assignment and skillwise, plus play hard every play.” Julian Mijares, Drew Petit, Conner Pepin and Dalton Wadkins all scored touchdowns during the game. “This week we play Denver East, who have some big boys and some speed,” he said. “It’ll be a great test to see how much we’ve improved as a team thus far into the season.” Prairie View shut out Montebello Saturday 50-0. “I think the game went really well,” Skyler Severance, defensive end said. “We obviously won, so that was a plus, but there were a lot of things that clicked offensively and defensively, and we had a lot of fun.” The Prairie View senior started playing football in sixth grade. “I love football so much, because it’s more than just a game. It’s a mission and my motivation. I feel God wants me to bring glory to Him by playing, sharing what I’ve overcome to be what I am today.” Last year Severance wasn’t able to play the whole season due to grades and getting involved with the wrong people, but between hard work and as he said, “God working through him,” he was able to overcome it. His favorite thing about football is being able to be out under the lights with his brothers: win or lose. “My least favorite thing about football, even though it’s not what a lot of people think about is players losing,” he said. Playing defensive end Severence said he likes being the first line of defense, and if the defensive line can stop the attack, it’s easy for his teammates to finish the job. “My teammates are phenomenal,” he said. “They always have the mentality of coming out on top. We’re doing a lot of good things, and we just need to polish up on the little things. My team is my family.” Severence is close to 30 tackles so far this season, and he said he plans to have many more. He also competes on the track team. He’s a state qualifier in the high jump and was only off a few feet from qualifying in the discus. He was all conference in football his sophomore year, and despite not playing

Prairie View No. 84 (Skyler Severance) attempts to find the momentum and get the ball on his team’s side near the beginning of the game against Mountain Range earlier this season. Severance tried to lay the big hit on Mountain Range’s Elijah Gillespie No. 24. Severence said this was one of the hardest hits he’s ever later since had since playing football. his junior year he is looking forward to making all-state this season. “Our game against Boulder at home will be a tough one, but it’ll be nice to have our supportive home crowd cheering for us,” he said. Prairie View Coach Todd Riccio said the running backs; wide receivers and the quarterback out did all of Montbello’s team. “We played like a team so there was no

one particular player who did exceptionally well,” he said. “All three phases of the game were great. We had numerous players step up and play well … too many to name.” Riccio said Severence is a great kid, a hard worker, with a great motto. “He’s a pleasure to coach,” he said. “He’s overcome so much from last year until now, and I’m very proud of him for this. He’s a great football player and stu-

dent-athlete for Prairie View.” This week Riccio feels Boulder will present another challenge for Prairie View to overcome and is the overall path to reaching the team’s goals this year. “Our kids need to rise to this challenge, and overcome it,” he said. “We look forward to the opportunity to play them.” Prairie View hosts Boulder Friday at 7 p.m. Brighton travels to Denver East Friday at 7 p.m.

Services ‘Pippin’ pops in Denver production I was raised by a theater-addicted mother, who instilled in me a lifelong love of stage performances. And although I spent a large part of the ’70s seeing musical and non-musical Broadway blockbusters, somehow my repertoire didn’t include “Pippin,” the 1972 Bob Fosse-directed Tony Award winner, which made Ben Vereen famous. I filled that missing slot Sept. 10 during the Denver launch of the national tour of the 2013 revival version of “Pippin,” playing at the Buell Theatre through Sept. 20. My theater pal Bradley Joseph and I experienced a good old-fashioned spectacular romp into a classic musical event that’s been enhanced by the addition of a circus setting complete with trapeze artists, contortionists and aerial performers. Throw in performances by Lucie Arnaz (daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz), John Rubenstein (the original Pippin character on Broadway who now plays the king) and Matthew James Thomas, the 2013 Tony Award-winning Pippin character, and you have an out-ofthis-world experience. Arnaz, who plays Pippin’s grandmother, gets her sexy on by showing off her 6o-plus bod in a bustier while hanging from a trapeze. Who knew? “I didn’t know how I could do that until five weeks ago,” which is when she joined the cast, Arnaz told us during the boffo after-play reception under the big top in the Seawell Ballroom. For an evening of throwback theatrical fun, don’t miss “Pippin.” Tickets at denvercenter.org.

Fort Collins ranks for retirees

Kiplinger, the venerable magazine covering personal finance advice and business, has accrued a top 10 ranking of best college towns for retirement, and Fort Collins is included in that lofty list. When you retire to a college town, Kiplinger says that you can recreate “the horizon-broadening experience and sense of adventure” that you had when you first entered those hallowed halls of higher learning. “In these 10 towns, a university generates intellectual and cultural sizzle for local residents and opens the door for retirees to take free or low-cost classes. College sports unite the entire community (and sometimes impel retired alums to move back). On-campus attractions, such as concerts, lecture series and games, are open to all comers, not just undergraduates. “College life isn’t the only reason these towns are great places to retire. Most are in states that are tax-friendly to retirees. Most have home prices close to the national median (some far below), active restaurant scenes, and access to good health care.” Fort Collins was included because of the proximity to Colorado State University, population of 152,061 and median home price of $280,000. See the rest of the list at money.msn.com/retirement/10great-college-towns-to-retire-to.

Bonanno burned in ‘burbs

I caught up with chef/restaurateur Frank Bonanno at Denver Food & Wine recently, and asked him about the closing of Bonanno Brothers Pizza at the Vistas at Park Meadows, the only suburban attempt the successful restaurant owner has tried. “Never again,” he told me. It was the first time he had partnered with an investor on an eatery, and when the investor wasn’t realizing the return on investment he expected, he opted to shutter the place. There are no hard feelings, Bonanno said, who added that Park Meadows mall execs could not have been more accommodating in his quest to vacate the lease and the premises. So Bonanno got burned in the ‘burbs, but don’t expect that hiccup to stop him from expanding with more concepts in Denver. Stay tuned.
