Candidate forum to be held Saturday The Heart of Westminster, formerly the Westminster Progressive Homeowners Association, is hosting a candidate forum 9-11 a.m. Saturday, Sept.

27, at the Westminster Grange Hall, 3935 W. 73rd Ave. Adams County candidates, including state and local representatives, county commissioners, sheriff candidates, assessor candidates, treasurer candidates, clerk and recorder candidates and coroner candidates have been invited.

Candidates who attend will introduce themselves and answer questions. They will also be asked about their position on current ballot issues. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m. with coffee and refreshments served.

Hannah Furlong, a senior in the international baccalaureate program at Standley Lake High School, holds a placard that reads “You don’t have to burn books to destroy culture. You just have to stop teaching them.” Furlong said she joined the students along Wadsworth Boulevard saying “there are many reasons and one is just to support education and make sure the decisions do not hurt our education.” She was among about 70 students in front of the school at 104th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard late afternoon on Friday. The school was closed due to a “sick out” by 32 teachers. Photos by Mikkel Kelly

POSTAL ADDRESS

Jeffco Superintendent Dan McMinimee said he wants to focus on understanding rather than consequences for the actions of district teachers who staged a “sick-out” protest, Friday, Sept. 19.

“We need to focus less about punishment and more around understanding, picking up the pieces and moving forward,” he said during a press conference Friday.

During the conference, McMinimee answered questions regarding Friday’s protest by 50 teachers calling in sick at Standley Lake and Conifer high schools. He outlined the process the district went through since first hearing about the protest last Monday, talked about the decision made with two schools’ principals to close the schools and the plan moving Sick continues on Page 22

Voters to decide on retail, medical marijuana shops

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Federal Heights voters will be faced with three ballot questions this November all dealing with marijuana.

On Aug. 19, city council approved three resolutions placing the questions on the ballot.

Voters will be asked whether the city should permit the operation of regulated medical marijuana centers; whether the city should permit the operation of regulated retail marijuana stores; and whether the city should impose a five percent sales tax on retail marijuana and retail marijuana products.

City manager Jacquie Halburnt said city councilor Daniel Dick was the first person to bring up the subject of marijuana to council during a meeting in

March. She said since then discussion surrounding the ballot questions has been based on research and voters’ rights.

“The council has been learning a lot about marijuana retail shops and medical shops and decided that the voters should make the decision on whether or not they want it in their city,” she said.

“The council has the authority to pass an ordinance on retail marijuana, but they would rather leave it up to the voters to see how they feel about it.”

Since the resolutions passed, Halburnt said no city councilor has voiced whether he or she is for or against the ballot questions.

The council did, however, discuss that they did want not to allow any marijuana cultivation facilities in the city, she added.

If the voters decide in favor of Voters continues on Page 22

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.

Arvada’s Zenzinger to focus

campaign on three E’s

Melvin hoping to tackle House District 50

By Crystal Anderson

By Ashley Reimers

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com With one legislative session under her belt, Sen. Rachel Zenzinger is moving forward with three key initiatives: education, the elderly and the economy.

“I’m running because I think I have the background, experience and commitment to getting things done in Senate District 19,” she said.

Zenzinger was appointed to the senate seat last December, after felZenzinger low Democrat Evie Hudak resigned in the face of a recall effort over her support of gun control laws.

In her time at the Capitol, Zenzinger played a part in the state Legislature bringing forward eight bills which passed with bipartisan support that centered around, the three E’s — education, the elderly and economics. Zenzinger said she’s committed to having a firstclass education system, an economy that works for everyone, and having measures in place protecting senior citizens from forms of fraud, abuse and helping the aging population.

“I’m going to be continuing on the three e’s, because there is so much work to do in that area,” she said, “to add to that, a few things that have come to my attention recently through my conversations with different industry groups, in particular are looking at transportation and infrastructure.”

Along those issues, the senator said she’s hearing concerns around marijuana regulations, such as with edibles, and issues around the Jefferson County School

District and the direction it’s heading.

She said she values and is committed to building a qualified workforce and a high quality education system that puts students on the pathways to building skills necessary for the jobs in Colorado’s economy.

“We have jobs here in Colorado, in particular jobs in the construction industry, but we don’t have the workers to fill those jobs,” she said.

“So trying to work earlier in our school system so that students have a career pathway; making sure we’re building those bridges to those opportunities and at the same time.”

Zenzinger grew up along the western slope in Colorado, an active citizen, she found herself serving with local organizations such as the Arvada Community Food Bank and the Apex Park and Recreation District. Those roles, among several others, led her to become involved with politics, where she served with the Arvada City Council and now the Colorado State Legislature.

“One of the things I really enjoy is going door to door, and actually hearing from people and their perspectives and opinions,” she said. “As I’ve been going door to door, listening to the real concerns of the constituents in Senate District 19, I’m hoping to use that to guide legislation.”

“I’m very hardworking, enthusiastic person that really enjoys public service and working to make a difference,” she said.

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com With just a few weeks until the election, Mike Melvin’s campaign for House District 35 is in full swing.

The Westminster resident and Republican is working to inform the voters on his views and passion for his community.

“I’m the candidate that represents the people,” he said. “That is the key thing. I think House District 35 needs a chamMelvin pion, and I can be that person.”

Melvin, who is up against Democrat Faith Winter, spent 40 years working in the electronics industry. He specialized in sales/marketing management and production management managing companies in the United States, Japan and Europe. His extensive experience working with people is a skill he says he plans on taking to the Capitol if elected.

“I have dealt with people who have agreed with me and those who disagree with me and have been able to come to conclusions that will be most beneficial for the company,” he said. “That is the same thing we need to do in the House.

I believe there is always a common ground, and getting people to agree is one of my real strengths.”

Transportation and education are Melvin’s two biggest concerns. He wants

to tackle why Adams County has two school districts with some of the highest tax rates in the state.

“District 50 has one of the highest tax rates and Adams 12 has the highest in the state,” he said. “The whole financial system in the state and the way funds are allocated seems totally geared towards big cities, mainly Denver, which is detrimental to the suburbs.”

And when it comes to transportation, Melvin said the people in the north metro area have been left out.

“Unless something changes quickly, U.S. 36 and I-25 on the north side will have toll lanes, while in the south, folks will continue to drive for free,” he said. “This is not right.”

For his campaign, Melvin’s been taking advantage of social media to reach his voters. He said his website www.coloradoformike.com has been a great tool to inform the community of his views and philosophies. He admits the campaign had a slow start, but is now gaining momentum. Melvin said his goal as a representative is to be the person who doesn’t answer to party bosses, but to the people.

“There have been past HD 35 representatives who have gone to the capitol and followed a fairly strict party line, to the detriment of those of us in the suburbs,” he said. “The district needs someone who will really work on the issues and I can be the advocate the people deserve.”

Looking back on state’s 100-year flood Jeffco repairs still ongoing, homeowners working to stabilize homes

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.

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

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-andtrails or register for Apex Park emails by sending a message to apexpark@jeffco.us to join the list.

The Morans were able to get a new driveway to their home, shown above, two months after the middle section was completely washed out. Photo by Amy Woodward 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.

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 ac-

cessibility 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.”

Reconfiguring curriculum Committee proposal raises questions among board

By Crystal Anderson canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Jeffco Schools board of education tabled a curriculum proposal during the district’s Sept. 18 regular business meeting.

“The charge to the committee is to review curricular choices for conformity to Jeffco academic standards, accuracy and omissions, and to inform the board of any objectionable materials,” read the committee resolution.

The resolution, penned by board member Julie Williams, would form a 10-person review committee to evaluate instructional materials used in courses, such as AP U.S. History.

If approved, the committee would be tasked with looking for “most factual” and “objective” information, that would “present positive images of the United States”; teach the “benefits of the free enterprise system”; “promote citizenship and patriotism” and should “not condone civil disorder, strife or disregard of the law.”

For audience members, this language stirred up emotions, and shouts of `censorship’ and “What about Martin Luther King?

What about Rosa Parks?” were heard.

During the discussion, Williams said

NEWS IN A HURRY Phone town hall meeting The Adams County Board of Commissioners invite residents to participate in a Telephone Town Hall Meeting on 6:307:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23. Participants will be given the opportunity to discuss issues and ask questions from the comfort of their homes.

On Tuesday, 40,000 households in both incorporated and unincorporated Adams County will receive a phone call inviting them to participate in the meeting. Those who do not receive a call are encouraged to join the meeting by calling toll free 877353-4701.

So take or make that call, share your opinions, and have fun with a real-time polling activity.

critics of the resolution misunderstood her meaning, stating she’s not wanting to remove any factual information, but doesn’t want to teach students to be disobedient to the law.

“It’s too extreme for Jeffco,” said Boardmember Lesley Dahlkemper.

The discussion surrounding the committee is pending and has been tabled to a later date.

“There’s already a curriculum and textbook review committee…” said Jeffco PTA Board Member, Shawna Fritzler. “Instead of recreating the wheel because you haven’t been involved ever until you got onto the board, you need to do some learning — it’s a priority to be a board member.”

A brotherhood, on and off the field

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com In football, it’s tough enough to win a single championship. Just ask the Broncos.

But imagine winning six in a row. It sounds impossible, but is a reality for the Red Raiders, a football team in the Northern Youth Football Association.

Since 2008, the team, now comprised of eighth graders in the Westminster and Thornton areas, has battled through blood, sweat and tears earning top dog bragging rights. And until Sept. 13, the team was undefeated before losing 8-13 to the St. Vrain Raptors of Longmont.

With all that success, it might be difficult to keep a level head. But head coach Roman Bargas keeps his boys in line.

“We don’t brag about it too much,” he said. “As coaches we’ve kept them grounded. What happened last year doesn’t matter this year. We don’t look past teams and every week we focus on the game ahead of us.”

Coaching is a major part of maintaining a high level of consistency. Bargas admits he’s not “much of a yeller.” And when he does yell, the guys know it’s time for business. Instead, Bargas focuses on finding each’s player’s strengths and placing him in the best position for success. During practice and games he expects respect from this players and their full attention.

“We’re authority figures out here, but we don’t want them to be afraid of us,” he said. “Football is an emotional sport, so I try to be an even-keeled coach. All the coaches treat every kid as their own son

The Red Raiders football team has won six consecutive championships. The team plays in the Northern Youth Football Association and is made up of eighth graders from the Westminster and Thornton areas. Photo by Ashley Reimers and the parents respect us for that.”

This is the last year the Red Raiders will play as a team. Some players began their journey together at age four and five in flag football. The close-knit group is more than just team — they describe themselves as a family, on and off the field.

For Derek Coffman, a running back, it’s difficult to explain the bond with his teammates. He’s headed to Horizon High School next year so will no longer play with his best friends every Saturday.

“It’s been pretty crazy because we’re all really close. We’re like brothers,” he said.

“When everything is all over it’s actually going to be really sad.”

Brotherhood is the word Anthony Tate refers to when talking about this team. As

the quarterback, he says he must rely on the team to do his job.

“Teamwork is everything — it’s number one,” he said. “My team makes me a better player.”

The Red Raiders have a few more games before their attempt at a seventh championship in early November. Although their winning streak ended, their legacy in youth football continues. Bargas plans to soak up every ounce of time he has with his team during practice, games and off the field.

“I keep telling the guys not to take anything for granted,” he said. “After this season, everyone spits up, so it’s time to make sure we take it all in, the games, the practices and the time with each other.”

Thrift store offers more affordable shopping

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Global Thrift in Westminster isn’t your run-of-the-mill thrift store. The volunteer-run business is making a global impact by supporting the efforts of Global Refuge, a nonprofit organization that provides medical aid to refugees and displaced people in Burma, Lebanon, Syria, Congo and Uganda.

“The reason why Global Refuge was started was because there was a hole that was very obvious when it came to refugee populations,” said Shaunessy McNeely, Global Thrift manager. “I was a nurse overseas, and I saw the needs of these people. Through Global Thrift we’re able to be a support for these people living in extremely desperate situations.”

The idea behind opening Global Thrift in the fall of 2012 was two-fold—supporting Global Refuge and offering volunteer opportunities for the public. Before the store opened, McNeely said there weren’t many volunteer options other than going overseas to help refugees or hosting refugees who have recently moved to the United States.

Through the thrift store, people can share the mission of Global Refuge with

the community and be part of providing a sustainable income to the organization, she added. And because the business is completely volunteer-ran, administrative costs are kept low.

“We only have three paid staff in the states and about 25 paid employees overseas, so all of the funding we earn goes to the nationals who are running the programs and doing the work so that we keep our costs down. And that is something we’re really proud of,” she said. “With people volunteering, we’re able to send the profits to the field directly to the people in need.”

Part of those profits is coming from Global Goods, a coffee shop in Arvada, also volunteer-ran. The shop opened about six months after the thrift shop.

Volunteers have the opportunity to work in both businesses to spread the mission of Global Refuge and do their part in supporting people in need.

Julie Hoekstra volunteers weekly at Global Thrift. This spring she was shopping for books in the thrift store before learning about the Global Refuge and volunteer opportunities.

“I really enjoy it here. I’ve met some good people and there are some wonderful things in the store,” she said. “Plus I’m helping an awesome organization.”

Volunteers must be at least 15 year old,

The project involves construction of a large water supply pipeline along the Farmers’ Highline and Niver Canal trail corridors to provide redundancy to the city’s water system should Standley Lake be taken offline for emergencies, maintenance or other reasons.

The first phase of construction is focused on the relocation of conflicting utilities west of Covenant Village along the Farmers’ Highline Trail. T. Lowell is establishing erosion control, setting orange construction fence at the limits of construction and preparing to excavate for the sanitary sewer. Portions of the Farmers’ High Line Trail and the Niver Canal Trail will be closed during construction of the pipeline.

The closure is anticipated to start along the trail adjacent to the intersection of 89th Avenue and Carr Street and continue north toward 93rd Court and will include portions of the Oakhurst Park Open Space. The temporary closure is to protect public safety and the safety of the construction crew. Trail closures will be adjusted as the work progresses. Pipeline construction is scheduled to continue through the spring of 2015.

Firefighters host Special Needs Day Youth with special needs and their families are invited to join the Westminster Fire Department to see rappelling, hoses, ladders, auto extrication and more. The event is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 28 at the Westminster Training Tower, 3851 Elk Drive. There will be rides on the vintage fire engine, an obstacle course and firefighter gear to try on.

Fire Station 1 hosts pancake breakfast Westminster Fire Department is hosting an all you can eat breakfast 7-9 a.m. on Sept. 27 for only $4. Stop by Fire Station 1, 3948 W. 73rd Ave., before the Orchard Festival to benefit CFIRE, the citizen group that raises funds for Westminster Fire Department special projects like the Santa program, fire station open houses and more. People can also purchase the newly published Westminster Fire Department History Book during the breakfast and throughout the day. Cost of the book is $40.

Torii Square Park and new sculpture to be dedicated The city of Westminster is hosting a dedication of Torii Square Park to commemorate the renovations and the new sculpture installation titled “Lotus Dragon” by Lyons artist John King at 9 a.m. on Sept. 27. The city completed renovations on the park during the summer of 2013, investing $215,136 in the project. Torii Square Park is a 1.7 acre park that was originally constructed in 1975.

The Rotary Club of Westminster dedicated a memorial for an exchange student, Yoko Nakamura Kishmoto, from Shizuoka, Japan at the park on July 27, 1975. The site also has a plaque dedicated to the first Westminster resident, Pleasant DeSpain, who homesteaded immediately north of the park site in 1870. The new kinetic work, “Lotus Dragon,” was uniquely designed to complement the Japanese theme of the park and be a focal point to highlight the natural beauty of the setting.

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.

Let’s call a spade a spade Before I delve into School Districts 12 and 50, let’s do the math. Let’s be realistic enough to admit that measuring costs for a $100,000 home just doesn’t cut it. There are very few homes in that price range so let’s measure it by using $200,000 value as the ball park figure.

Here we go For openers I’ll state that both districts are needing financial support. And where does such mill levy and bond issues get that money? Right from our property tax dollars. At the start District 50 went for a 10 mill levy hike last November. It was soundly defeated because it was too large for the folks to bear. This year our school board decided to go for only an increase in the mill levy of $2 a month (but remember that’s based on a $100,000 home so double that levy to $4).

Because the bond issue is new it will

cost the taxpayers an additional $3 a month doubled to reflect a $200,000 home. So now we come up with a $10 a month levy. Granted it is a modest increase but for many of our district patrons, even that amount is a lot.

It’s needed Having said all that, let’s give the school districts this small increase. But where I come to differ with our District 50 school board is in the way the issue is

being portrayed. Let’s not come at this with fancy, expensive brochures but let’s instead use that money to quit sugar coating and just bluntly tell our taxpayers that it costs money to educate our students and we need to invest in keeping them in our district. In other words, we have to sell both districts, 12 and 50, to our voters as a good investment. A good school district keeps its’ students because of their good rankings.

Stop already I don’t know what District 12 is doing in the PR department to “sell” their voters of the need for the raise (a $220 million bond package) and a mill levy override of $5.58 cost for a $100,000 (here we go again with that cost to double for a $200,000 home).

I do know in District 50 they came out with two slick brochures telling our seniors they can get a free membership for

District 50 activities. In my opinion it was a waste of over $6,000 to try to sway our aging folks with such a thinly veiled need for their support. Why not just tell it like it is for both districts. We seniors aren’t dumb, we see through this and we don’t need to have a freebie given to us at bond issue times.

So what’s next?

I’ve tried to give you an abbreviated version of the need for both districts to be successful. Now they have to work hard to get it passed.

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.

Quick shots to think about In case you missed it, Westminster City Councillor Bruce Baker had a paid ad in last week’s Westminster Window asking some critical questions about the City’s re-development efforts at the former Westminster Mall site.

The ad in itself is worthy of consideration as Baker asks among his several questions why isn’t there a project budget for the council and the public to see while Oliver McMillan ramps up on the first two phases of the re-development. What is the price of the land that the developer will be required to pay? These type of details need to see the light of day. Secondly, the fact that Baker took out the ad demonstrates a serious split in the City Council on this important issue. Baker deserves answers to his questions and so does the public.

Jeffco school district gone awry

What a surprise to have Standley Lake High School on last Friday night’s TV news and on the front page of last Saturday’s Denver Post. Or was it?

While I liked what the school board did after considering their outside consultant’s recommendations on school teachers’ salary increases, I have been concerned about the overall philosophy and political bent of the new board majority. When the district announced forming a new curriculum review panel to deter-

shortsighted in their approach to protest the school board’s salary policies. It was a disservice to the students who were not taught their class subjects that day. This is not the way to protest something you don’t like. Keep the students out of the crossfire between the teachers/union and the school board.

Getting it right in the NFL mine a different slant on American history class, it sounded suspicious. The thrust of the new criteria was going to be promoting patriotism, respect for authority and the free-market system while staying away from materials which would encourage or condone “civil disorder, social strife or disregard of the law.”

Although the school board tabled this matter a week ago, it is downright scary to think that such “white wash” would take place in public schools. Are they suggesting that slavery, the American Revolutionary War, Vietnam War protests, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and his “I have a Dream” speech and a lot more significant parts of American history should be eliminated?

While I don’t have “insider” information on all the details on the recent series of events regarding Baltimore Raven’s Ray Rice, Minnesota Vikings’ Adrian Peterson and other players, there is a disturbing pattern of physical abuse to family members of these players. The Ray Rice episode with his then-fiancée in the hotel elevator where he slugged her in the head is outrageous.

While I don’t want to reach judgment on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and

the NFL organization, it certainly would appear that Goodell and his organization are slow to address this repeating pattern of physical abuse by NFL players. When did Goodell and the NFL staff see the video when Rice slugged his fiancée?

I hope that this does not turn out where it is proven that NFL officials were aware of the slugging earlier than Goodell is representing. Of course Goodell is not going to resign over the handling of this situation. With a salary like his, they would have to pry him out of the job. While he has publicly apologized for mishandling the Rice incident, we the fans have every right to expect more responsible and more timely handling of these abusive situations. The NFL owners need to make Goodell more accountable.

Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Motives are quite clear I’ve seen a few comments regarding City Council’s actions as it pertains to the personnel matter with our fire department. One columnist from this paper went so far as to accuse members of council of engaging in “chicanery.”

Let’s be very clear about what has transpired. An overwhelming majority of our firefighters submitted petitions asking for the right to collectively bargain pursuant to the Colorado Firefighter Safety Act.

What a majority of Council ultimately decided was the best route to protect the home rule authority of our city was to direct staff to begin the process of drafting a collective bargaining agreement with our firefighters. That’s where we are: in the initial stages of this process.

Some have speculated regarding the motives for this decision. The motive is very clear: when the brave group of men Letter continues on Page 10

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 payfor-performance 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

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 conscience? 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.

Addressing enrollment Student growth along Highway 93 could trigger major changes

By Crystal Anderson canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Several Jeffco schools are seeing increased student enrollment, pushing them to or past capacity.

To tackle the issue, the Jeffco Schools Board of Education heard a staff presentation regarding possible solutions to the district’s increasing student population.

“We’re seeing enrollment increases

SCHOOLS AFFECTED Schools affected by proposed changes: Alameda High School, Green Mountain High School, Rooney Ranch Elementary, Devinny Elementary, Stein Elementary, Ralston Valley High School, Meiklejohn Elementary, Sierra Elementary, Arvada West High School, West Woods Elementary School, and Drake Middle School Link to proposals: http://goo.gl/s5bX4N today, that quite frankly, three years ago didn’t exist,” said Jeffco’s Chief Operating Officer Steve Bell.

The presentation focused on parts of Lakewood and Arvada, in the central and north sections of the district. Within these

communities, housing developments, such as Candelas, Leyden Rock and Solterra are causing increased enrollment in several Lakewood and Arvada schools.

The team proposed several options including redrawing school borders, reconfiguring grade layouts and building a new K-8 school along Highway 93 and 58th Avenue.

“I think it’s very important that we be creative, and that we consider all of the options that are available to us,” said Board President Ken Witt. “We have a responsibility to be very responsible for this first year of increased enrollment to make certain that we’re optimally using the facilities and investments that we’ve already made before looking at increasing and expanding.”

The proposed changes, pending further discussion and approval, would take effect in the 2015-16 school year, taking around 18 to 24 months to complete and costing around $25 million.

According to Bell, the proposal is only a temporary fix, and would need to be reviewed as population and enrollment rise.

“These are all temporary solutions and would buy us two, maybe three years before we’re in the same situation we are in today,” he said.

Moving forward, Witt and other board members encouraged the facilities team to be creative, finding ways to utilize district space which are currently underserved, and bring further information regarding these options and funding for the possible projects to the board at a later date.

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 Middle School in Lakewood. “This board is disrupting everything, and I wanted to try

Students walk out of class on Sept. 23 to protest proposed changes to the history curriculum by the Jeffco School Board. Students stood along Wadsworth Boulevard to spread the word about the issue. Photo by Clarke Reader and help save my son’s education.”

Several students voiced their concern about the effect the changes would have on their current education and their futures.

“We love our teachers and I want to be one,” said junior Gabi Bruno. “I wanted 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.

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.

LoDo Sips seeks volunteers

LoDo Sips celebrates the district’s tavern and brewpub scene. Tickets are $35 for individuals or $30 each for a group of 10 or more, available at www.lodo.org.

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 and the Denver Nuggets to support the Special Olympics Colorado Project UNIFY,” said Sean Finney, general manager of Hard Rock Cafe Denver.

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

Proceeds from the event help support children and teen literacy programs at the Library, such as Summer Reading Club and the Traveling Children’s Library.

“Since the event has rare and novel in the name, we’re always trying to switch it up and make it different for people who attend,” said Natalie Martinez, Foundation executive director.

Since the event benefits the library, the silent auction wouldn’t be complete without some books that attendees can

purchase. Martinez said one of the rarest is “Olden Times in Colorado” by Carlyle Channing Davis from 1916.

“We have a basket with some romance novels, wine and chocolate as well as some Halloween items,” she said. “People looking to spend a fun day in Denver can also bid on passes to the Denver Zoo, botanic gardens and other local locations.”

This night is made possible by the generous support of Bandimere Speedway and the Bandimere Family Foundation, FirstBank, Brookfield Residential, Bryan McFarland and Sundyne.

Features include an open concept kitchen, a towering wine wall, an island bar and four private dining rooms for groups and special occasions.

“I admire the vibrant food scene here in Denver,” said Chris Perry, president and owner of Perry’s Restaurant, who attended a recent media preview of the place. “With our famous seven-finger-high pork chop, distinctive signature dishes carved tableside, shared sides and vegetables, and cocktails made with fresh ingredients from the kitchen, we hope to fit right in and feel at home in Colorado.”

Perry’s, which started as a meat market, is known for its specialty Perry’s Famous Pork Chop, a seven-finger-tall chop that is dried, cured and roasted, then caramelized and topped with Perry’s herb-garlic butter. Perry’s is also home to Bar 79, named after the year Perry’s was founded.

Valuing citizen’s right to vote Clerk and recorder candidate campaigns for election integrity

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Running for the first time as Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder Michael Snow is outspoken about his defense for the right to vote in fair and honest elections.

As a board member of the Colorado Common Cause for the last five years, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening public participation in political processes through campaigns which promote transparent government and voter equality, Snow said he values any citizen’s right to vote.

“The clerk and recorder is a service to the community,” he said. “It is critical to the support of the means by which our communities, voters have a say in their government.”

Listed as the Democratic opponent to Republican candidate Faye Griffin, Snow is adamant his run for clerk and recorders is nonpartisan.

“Even if an election might go in a way that I Snow don’t want it to go, I want to feel confident that the results of that election was absolutely what the will of the people was intended,” Snow said. “Unfortunately, we have a partisanship situation particularly Jefferson County being so close to a third, a third and a third -that very, very fine, fine things about managing and admin-

istrating the election can make a difference.”

Growing up in Wheat Ridge and graduating from Wheat Ride High School before earning his masters in public administration from CU-Boulder, Snow was in charge of election processes for four years while working as city clerk in Wheat Ridge.

He now works at CDOT as a metropolitan planning organizer and rural planning liaison.

“I really have a vision for our Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder and the administration of our records, the administration of our records, the administration of our department of motor vehicles,” he said. “I have something I want to provide and I think I have a lot to offer.”

Part of his vision includes modernizing methods of voting and breaking down barriers for voter registration.

While he speaks very highly of Pam Anderson, Jeffco clerk and recorder, he does not agree with her decision to hold same-sex marriage licenses. Instead, he viewed the opportunity to provide licenses as a rare form of leadership to be taken on by the clerk and recorder.

“The policy front for same sex marriage is kind of a rare opportunity for a clerk and recorder to be a leader of that type,” he said.

Colorado courts did not say that samesex marriage is unconstitutional, they said to stop issuing licenses (pending higher court appeals), Snow said.

“In that window of time, it’s absolutely the right thing to do,” he said. “If you’re doing anything except providing the exact same rights and liberties to everyone — you are discriminating.”

Griffin runs for clerk and recorder again Commissioner ‘torn’ about leaving post early

By Amy Woodward awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com County Commissioner Faye Griffin has been one of Jefferson County’s most enduring employees with almost 40 years of service.

She has held several leadership roles such as clerk and recorder, county treasurer and county commissioner.

While it’s difficult to predict if Griffin’s tenure with the county will end voluntarily on account of her belated retirement, it’s no secret that Griffin is the Jef-

fco GOP candidate for clerk and recorder.

“I am going to retire sometime, I just don’t know when,” she said. “I am also torn by leaving this office because I enjoy being commissioner.”

Only halfway into her second term as county commissioner, if elected, her replacement will be decided by a Republican vacancy committee. It won’t be the first time a replacement will be appointed to fill a position Griffin has vacated in pursuit of other leadership roles. She was elected twice as clerk and recorder from 1998 to 2006 and then ran for county treasurer which she won for a four-year term. Two years into that term she left the position and was elected as county commissioner where Republican Tim Kauffman was selected to fill her remaining

term as treasurer.

Critics criticize her habit of leaving office early saying it provides a way for her fellow party members to gain access to elected office.

“I hate to think it’s a manipulation of the system,” Griffin said in response to the criticism. “I thought, OK, I started my career in clerk and recorder’s office; Griffin I’ll end my career in clerk and recorder’s office.”

After decades of working in Jeffco, she is running on her name and experience.

“I am the most qualified,” she said.

Griffin supports clerk and recorder incumbent Pam Anderson’s decision to

withhold same-sex marriage licenses until a final determination of the federal courts rule that Utah’s ban on same-sex marriage is a violation of the U.S. Constitution. An early ruling by the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals back in July concluded that Utah was in violation of the U.S. Constitution which prompted some counties like Boulder to hand out the marriage licenses.

“In this particular issue I feel they need to follow what the secretary of state or the attorney general in this case, their decision,” she said. “Now, if in case the attorney general wants to have more input or reasons we would certainly want to do that, we may want to voice our opinion through the county clerk association regarding that issue or any other issue.”

Lebsock campaigning for two more years

By Ashley Reimers areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Spending two years at the state capitol as the representative for House District 34 just isn’t enough time for Steve Lebsock. The Democrat is campaigning for a second round, this time against his Republican opponent Alexander “Skinny” Winkler, to represent the people of Northglenn, Federal Heights and portions of Thornton and Adams County.

Lebsock isn’t new to the political scene. He was elected to Thornton city council in 2003 and re-elected in 2007 serving as the mayor pro tem until 2009. Lebsock says it was his time on council that began the development of a strong relationship with the people in the community. He said he takes the views and needs of his constituents seriously.

“Much of the work I have done at the capitol is legislation that comes directly from the people of our community,” he said. “I have passed bills that come directly

from my constituents. That’s why I work so hard for the people. There are a lot of things that need to get done for the people of Colorado.”

One bill Lebsock is particularly proud of is HB 13-1146, which was signed into law on March 15, 2013. This bill gives identity theft victims a way to fix their public records corrupted by a criminal, and permits the person to enlist the aid of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation in obtaining corrections of public Lebsock records relating to criminal justice proceedings.

“This bill is a preventative measure and it makes sure people are able to restore their identity after being a victim of identity theft,” Lebsock said.

During Lebsock’s campaign he’s taking time to knock doors and hear the issues affecting his constituents and plans to continue this communication until Election Day. This kind of work is just part of Lebsock’s dedica-

tion to his constituents.

“My focus is hearing directly from my constituents. I ask them specifically what I should be working on and what their priorities are,” he said. “That is what I’ll continue to do until Nov. 4.”

If re-elected Lebsock plans to focus on passing laws that are good for small businesses, building a strong Colorado economy and working to ensure the north metro area receives transportation improvements. He said he’ll also continue to make sure the state provides enough resources to education to prepare youth for the future.

“I want to continue to serve the people from my area and continue to do a good job representing them,” Lebsock said. “The people in this area know me. I’ll continue to make sure the bills I run down at the capitol are good for the north metro area, especially for the people I represent.”

Northglenn resident running for HD 34

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com After what he calls a “disastrous 2013 legislative session,” Northglenn resident Alexander “Skinny” Winkler decided to run for state representative for House District 34.

He’s focused on bringing a sound voice to the Capitol, one that makes a positive change for his community.

Winkler is a past vice chair of the Adams County Republicans and is a nine-year business owner of S.S.S. Productions, a production company based in Northglenn. Winkler started his involvement in politics back in 2008 during the presidential election. Since then he’s been invested in politics and is now taking that interest to a personal level.

Winkler said in the past the state has passed poorly written gun laws based on emotional reactions to the Sandy Hook Shooting and the Aurora Theater shooting. He says the

laws are unenforceable and makes every gun owner a criminal.

“These poorly written laws don’t do anything to achieve their purpose and also do nothing to make anybody safer,” he said. “I’m saying these are bad laws not because I love guns, but because it’s the principle involved. It’s poorly written, emotionally driven legislation. They should be repealed.”

Winkler’s not afraid to speak his mind during his first election. He doesn’t consider himself a politician and admits he’s not the best at calculating his answers while speaking freely. But when it comes to knocking doors, Winkler has a focused strategy.

“I’m only knocking on unaffiliated doors learning what they’re concerned with,” he said. “And I love knocking doors. One of my biggest problems is I don’t get to the next door fast enough because I love getting into it and chatting with people.

I’m also focused on name recognition. I want people to remember my

name after I leave their doorstep.”

During his time on the pavement, Winkler said he’s heard many people express concerns about jobs, economy, education and Obamacare.

Although he’s interested in these issues too, education is a top priority for the Winkler, a father of three.

He’s concerned with how tax dollars are being spent by school districts in HD 34 like the Adams 12 Five Star School District. Winkler said he supports the idea of free market competition within public schools to allow for parents to choose where to send their kids, either by the use of vouchers or charter schools.

“With Adams 12 having one of the highest tax rates, are we getting our money’s worth?” he said.

“Through free market competition, parents can make their own choice with their own dollars.”

Winkler is running against incumbent Steve Lebsock, a Democrat. HD 34 serves parts of Thornton, Northglenn, Federal Heights and unincorporated Adams County.

Nicholson prepares for round two

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com It’s been a successful term for Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Blackhawk of Senate District 16. So successful in fact that she’s running in the 2014 election for another four years.

“I’m not done,” said an exuberant Nicholson. “I still have things I want to work toward.”

She’s been the prime sponsor of 68 bills during her incumbency, each passing with 95 percent bipartisan votes. There are perhaps three bills that have failed completely that she can recall. “(It’s) very unusual for my bills to fail,” she said.

While experience has introduced her to many problems facing the state and especially within her district which includes the city of Golden along with all of Gilpin County and portions of Boulder county, and Rocky Flats, she is refining her focus to health care, wild fire mitigation, job creation and the

economy in her prospective second term.

“The people in my district when I am walking door-to-door tell me three things are important to them; that they are safe, financially secure and healthy,” Nicholson said.

Wildfire mitigation and funding firefighter safety has been a focused discussion with Nicholson as the passing of Senate Bill 46 this passed legislative session shows.

The bill created a local firefighter safety grant program that provides staff with Nicholson appropriate bunker gear, equipment and training. The program is set to receive $3.25 million for the next five years for which local departments and districts can apply for.

“We’re on the right path I think but we are not there yet and all the things that we can accomplish,” she said.

Nicholson is looking to use slash

and forest floor debris by implementing the use of wood products to heat city buildings which mimics the same successful project she led in Gilpin County while serving as county commissioner. A city Road and Bridge building located in Gilpin is currently heat by wood chips using a specialized broiler that burns at high temperatures resulting in more steam stacks than smoke stacks. The program, according to Nicholson, is saving money, reducing fossil fuels, creating local jobs for loggers and reducing wood product on the forest floor.

Emphasis on early childhood development and education are also on the forefront of Nicholson’s campaign which has peppered her list of legislative accomplishments notably her favorite piece of legislation; SB 34 that requires WIC educators to become mandatory reporters of suspected child abuse and neglect.

“I serve everyone,” she said.

Continuing down the path State Board of Education candidate seeks to further gains

By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Education is for life.

For State Board of Education candidate, Jane Goff, the statement is decidedly true.

“I’m born, raised and educated here in Colorado,” she said, “This is my passion, education, and I’ve spent my life dedicated to it.”

Since her election to the state board of

education in 2008, Goff has worked with the board to implement several decisions and policies regarding the new Colorado Academic Standards, accountability, balanced assessments, transparency and more. She currently serves on the several state committees such as the State Advisory Committee for Gifted and Talented, the Colorado State Accountability Network, and the selection committees Goff for Colorado’s Teacher of the Year and the Milken Family Foundation Teaching Award, among others.

“I’m running so we can continue with the forward movement that’s been hap-

pening in Colorado the past six years,” she said.

For this campaign, Goff said she wants to focus on encouraging themes of collaboration, open communications and transparency to continue to improve.

“My focus primarily is to keep encouraging collaboration, open communications, transparency, and solid decision making,” she said. “We can always do better, but the focus needs to be on how we go about doing that.”

Along with her focus, Goff cites the continued implementation of the new standards; finding a balanced, meaningful assessment system; and providing professional development opportunities for educators and administrators as the key things

to target over the next few years.

A Colorado native, Goff and her husband, Harry, have lived in the Denvermetro area for the past 28 years, where she taught and worked with the Jefferson County School District for 34 years. Since retiring in 2006, Goff has worked on numerous state, regional and national boards and committees, and currently serves as the President of the National Association of State Boards of Education.

“It’s important we continue on an upward path,” she said. “Change is hard, and it takes some but if we keep kids at the forefront, we’ll see it come about.”

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 continuous 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, Grimm 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 edu-

cate 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.”

County asking voters to expand sales tax use Revenue generated by existing tax cound fund human services facility

By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Having the Adams County human services offices in Brighton — away from much of the community it serves — has not proven to be the ideal location for citizens.

Because of this, the Board of County Commissioners is asking voters to expand the use of its existing one-half of 1 percent sales tax to provide funding for potentially building or relocating its human services offices.

The existing tax only allows funding for constructing, acquiring, equipping, operation, maintaining and expanding the Adams County Justice Center, a pre-trail holding facility and a centralized government center.

“The Board of County Commissioners has determined that expanding the allowed uses of the existing sales tax would benefit the citizens of Adams County,” said county attorney Heidi Miller. “Among other essential projects the Board of County Commissioners desires to consolidate its human services functions into a facility that meets the needs of Adams County citizens and employees.”

The board voted unanimously to place a question on the Nov. 4 ballot that asks voters to approve expanded use of the

existing tax - to construct, equip, maintain, and expand existing and new Adams County Government facilities, in addition to the Adams County Justice Center, a pretrial holding facility and a centralized government center “I think this is very smart,” said District 3 Commissioner Erik Hansen. “I think what’s happened in the last eight years is we started to realize that what they envisioned in terms of county services in 2005 and 2006 has changed. I think this gives us more flexibility to address the needs of the community. It’s a good thing.”

The majority of human services functions are located in the Adams County Government Center, 4430 S. Adams County Parkway.

“So, basically, all (the expanded use) does is allows us to be able to build our buildings in the communities that we’re actually serving as opposed to being out here (in the government center),” said District 1 Eva Henry.

Forty-percent of the revenues of the existing sales tax are shared among the county and the incorporated cities and towns in Adams County for improvements to or the building of roads and bridges. If voters approve the expanded use, this 40 percent will remain dedicated to such projects.

Voters first approved the tax measure in 1993 to construct the Adams County Justice Center. Voters extended the sales tax in 1997 for the expansion of the Adams County Detention Center, in 2001 to provide for road and bridge projects and in 2006 to the language it is today.

Gessler is hot potato in race for his office Williams, Neguse both hoping to avoid past secretary’s drama

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com In the race to become Colorado’s next secretary of state, two candidates are touting their qualifications while distancing themselves from the man who currently holds the post.

Republican El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams will take on Democrat Joe Neguse, a University of Colorado regent, in a race to become the state’s elections chief.

The two are seeking to fill a seat that will soon be vacated by Secretary of State Scott Gessler. The Republican opted against seeking a second term and instead launched an unsuccessful bid for governor earlier this year.

Gessler has famously earned the nickname “honey badger,” born from a style of bare-knuckled politics that has rallied Republicans and roiled Democrats. Gessler has had several public battles with Gov. John Hickenlooper and legislative Democrats over election policy and his handling of the secretary of state’s office.

That style is something that both Williams and Neguse say they want to avoid if elected as Gessler’s successor.

“I think some of the ways he presented things were too polarizing,” said Williams.

Williams said Gessler “has done a lot of good things,” but added: “We have different styles.”

However, Neguse sees a lot of Gessler in

Williams. Neguse believes Williams has a record of “focusing on efforts that make it harder for people to vote.”

“For me, it is important to have a secretary of state who is not only going to protect the right the vote, but empower more people to exercise that constitutional right because it is a right that we shouldn’t take for granted,” Neguse said.

Williams said Neguse’s characterization of him just isn’t the case.

“I’m the only one (in the race) who has run an office and run elections and I’ve done it well,” he said.

Backgrounds differ Williams served for eight years as an El Paso County commissioner prior to being elected county clerk and recorder in 2010.

Williams said he is proud of the customer service he has provided for four years and is especially proud of his work during the 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire, when many voters were being evacuated the same day of a primary election.

“We counted every ballot, made sure they were all secure and made every statutory deadline despite being evacuated for the fire,” Williams said.

Williams has also presided over three recall elections in as many counties. He was asked by officials in Teller and Saguache counties to handle local recall elections there, and he oversaw his own county’s highly publicized recall election, which led to the ouster of then-state Senate President John Morse.

Neguse was elected to represent the state’s 2nd Congressional District on the CU Board of Regents. His public service record also includes having served as a commissioner on the Boulder Housing Author-

Joe Neguse

ity and being a Capitol staffer for former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff.

Neguse is a first-generation American whose parents are from Africa.

“The right to vote really is sacred and, as the son of immigrants, I can tell you in a very visceral way what it means to be able to have the right to vote and to exercise that right to vote,” he said.

If elected, Neguse said he would work to create a “one-stop shop” business platform to make it easier for business owners to navigate service options. He also wants to dispatch office representatives across the state for greater service accessibility.

Divided on reforms Neguse and Williams have different opinions on key voting issues that will shape their policies.

Neguse is a supporter of a 2013 elections overhaul law that created same-day registration in Colorado and requires that all ballots be mailed to registered voters.

Neguse believes the law will enable more people to participate in elections, but Williams has been an outspoken critic of the law. Williams said the law is costly to

counties and is unfair to voters who don’t wish to receive ballots in the mail because of security issues.

Williams — whose opposition to the elections reform law puts him among the minority of county clerks in the state — also is concerned that the law will lead to increased cases of voter fraud.

“Colorado had the highest percentage turnout in the country in 2012,” Williams said. “The system was working very well as it was.”

Neguse believes Williams’ opinion on the law misses the mark. He points to safeguards that are in place that allow clerks real-time information when votes are being cast, which is intended to root out fraud.

“Same-day registration has existed in Wyoming for decades,” Neguse said. “It has existed in Idaho for decades. It’s worked well. Empirical evidence shows more people participate.”

Williams supports voter identification laws and doesn’t think that showing a utility bill is a valid form of ID. He concedes that voter fraud is rare, but he cites two recent El Paso County elections that were decided by a single vote.

“We don’t have bank robberies that often either,” he said. “But (if a bank) put all its money in a pile and put a note on the pile and said, ‘Hey customers, just sign an affidavit that you’ve taken no more money than you have deposited in this bank,’ that would be an absurd result.”

But Neguse doesn’t think that voters want “a secretary of state who is going to be focused on dismantling those reforms.”

“That should be something we should strive for — making it easier to vote for those people who are eligible to vote,” he said.

Treasurer’s race features big names

By Vic Vela

state needs a fiscally sound treasurer to stay on top it.

“It’s easy to whistle a happy tune while

vvela@colorado communitymedia.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 officebacked legislation that carried with it overwhelming bipartisan 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 re-election 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

Markey

Stapleton

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 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

“We felt that we wanted to make sure student safety and security, in addition to their quality educational opportunity was provided,” he said. “We made a decision last night in terms of one school and this morning in the case of another, working with our achievement directors and our principals, and we didn’t feel we could provide that environment for our students today so we canceled two of our 155 schools.”

The 50 teachers, 32 from Standley Lake and 18 from Conifer, took either a personal or sick day.

Some students at Standley Lake High School used their day off to wave signs of protest against the current district board of education. The protests come after board of education decisions concerning teacher salaries and history curriculum proved to be unpopular with the district’s teachers association, and PTA. “Last night was the first part of a discussion the board of education had to clarify

were very positive. People are really excited,” said Mac Cummins, city planning manager. “It was a very positive meeting.”

The plan for the future downtown area, which is on the site of the former mall at Sheridan Boulevard and U.S. 36, calls for a high-density, urban development with residential, commercial, retail and other uses.

Throughout the process, the city’s offered multiple community outreach meetings to gain the public’s perspective on the plan.

Input from the recent open house will be added to the staff’s long list of notes and research gathered from previous meetings.

“We’ve made it a priority in Westminster to involve the public in big city planning efforts,” Cummins said. “It’s very important and part of good governing. It allows the community the opportunity to weigh in on what the future of their community will be and what it will look like.”

According to the project’s website, westminstercenter.net, some goals of the project include eventually becoming the visual and physical center of Westminster, creating an urban district with active frontage door and window openings to streets, plazas and green spaces and encouraging

and talk about what they may want to do next,” McMinimee said regarding the Sept.

18 curriculum discussion. “In my own feelings, being a former high school principal, AP U.S. History is an elective course, and I believe in parent choice.

“The board’s responsibility is to ensure that curriculum is taught in the district, so I respect their right to move forward and decide what they want to do with that and we’ll work around that and try to make the best of that we can.”

Currently, the district has not received an official explanation for the teacher protest, and haven’t considered a possible consequence at this time. In addition, Colorado Community Media has not been able to secure a comment from anyone identified as representing the “sick-out.”

McMinimee said he will meet with the district council, Jim Branum, to discuss options and what steps need to be taken.

“While I respect the opportunity to have freedom of speech and expression, I think there are other opportunities to work through these differences without putting kids in the middle of it,” he said.

Student protests continued at both high schools Friday afternoon.

a pedestrian-oriented environment. This summer work began on the basic street grid network and recently city council awarded a contract to Concrete Express, Inc. for grading on the site.

Finishing touches on the master planning documents are also underway and when finalized will go to the planning commission for approval in mid-October followed by city council approval in midNovember.

“As a planning manager it’s exciting to see these projects come to fruition,” Cummins said. “We all get into this field to help facilitate things getting built and helping to change a way a community looks. It’s career defining and a good feeling to be where we are.”

Westminster resident Martha Schroeder is also excited with the progress of the project. She lives a few blocks from the future downtown site and plans making the area a part of her life. Whether it’s shopping or just taking a walk, Schroeder said she’ll frequent the area once developed.

“I think a development like this one is just great for our community and the people who live here,” she said. “I can’t wait for some real construction to begin and to see how everything will turn out.”

retail and medical marijuana operations, Halburnt said it could be a benefit to the local economy.

“If the ballot questions pass, marijuana centers could bring more people into Federal Heights looking to spend their money on retail or medical marijuana,” she said.

“Which means they could also spend their money at other places in the city.”

Before the resolutions were passed, there was a moratorium in place prohibiting the sale of medical and retail marijuana. If voters approve the sale of retail and medical marijuana along with the 5 percent sale tax, revenue from the tax would go towards supporting local drug education programs, prevention of underage consumption of retail marijuana and retail marijuana products and to other general purposes of the city.

It all adds up for Academy

By Scott Stocker The numbers two, three and four certainly added up to a “win” for The Academy Friday.

The Wildcats defeated visiting Middle Park, 44-0, in last Saturday’s Class 2A Frontier League game, played at Mountain Range High School.

The numbers, in this case, are worn

by The Academy’s Isaiah Sanchez (2), Joel Franco (3) and Devan Caswell (4). And, they indeed posted the higher numbers throughout the game as the Wildcats, coached by Mike Ray, improved to 2-2 overall and 2-0 in the League. Middle Park, under coached Adam Bright, dropped to 0-4, 0-2.

Neither team could get on the scoreboard in the first quarter. But The Academy exploded for 30 points in the second to help secure the win. The Wildcats would score two touchdowns in the third quarter, to put the game clock into a continued running mode for the final quarter.

The Academy defense started the scoring when the unit was credited with a safety. With 10:19 left in the second quarter Middle Park’s quarterback Chance Martin attempted a pass from the back of the Panther end zone. The officials ruled the pass an intentional grounding as the attempt never came close to any Panther receivers.

The Academy’s Caswell returned the ensuing kickoff to the Middle Park 48yard line. From there, with the help of two Middle Park, 5-yard penalties, the Wildcats only needed three plays to score. The touchdown was the result of a 30-yard pass

from Franco to Sanchez with 9:04 left in the quarter.

“Several times they gave us the opportunity go tough against them and we were able to get the job done,” said Sanchez, who would catch seven passes for 126-yards in the game. “It was important for us to be up on our play and we came through.”

Also some good thoughts from Caswell.

“I loved the score,” said Caswell, who had 40-yards receiving on the night. “We had the slow start and I think we were all disappointed. But we were able to get on track.”

“Our defense was solid as the game went on,” Caswell said. “You can’t do what we did without a good line and we had the good work tonight. I’m just proud of the guys up front for what they accomplished for us out there.”

And play as a united team was all that Ray could ask for.

“We started slow, but we were able to fix ourselves out there,” Ray said. “I’m pleased with the effort, but we still have a lot of work still to do. That second quarter was something else.”

It wouldn’t take long for The Academy to add its second touchdown of the quarter. The four-play drive would begin right after defensive tackle Ryan Dovel recovered a Middle Park fumble by Martin at the Panther’s 39-yard line. And, unfortunately, it would be the final play of the game for Martin. Injured, he sat out the rest of the night.

Franco would soon score on a 2-yard run with 7:18 left in the quarter. Crook Trai

Once again, The Academy would quickly score. The Wildcats took advantage of a Middle Park fumble on the ensuing kickoff that was recovered by Zach Morgan at the Panther’s 31-yard line. On the next play, Franco passed to Sanchez for the touchdown. The extra point failed.

“We made a lot of mistakes to begin with, but we were able to get better,” said Franco, who completed 6-of-15 passes for 112-yards and two touchdowns. “That’s what we have to do as a team. The second quarter took off and it’s where I think we had a lot of good effort. I felt I was making the right reads and was staying focused.”

The Academy would score it’s final touchdown of the half with 1:36 remaining. It came about as the Wildcat’s Billy Mayes blocked Middle Park’s punt at 1:42.

Caswell would then score on an 8-yard run. Franco scored the extra points on a run for the insurmountable, 30-0, halftime lead.

RECEIVING: MP – Keaton Andress 2-18; Keanan Eisenbart 2-10; Brad Lutz 1-5; Jackson Chessman 1 (-2). TA – Isaiah Sanchez 7-126; Zach Morgan 1-26.

Franco would score his final touchdown on a 6-yard run with 2:51 left in the third quarter, culminating an 11-play drive.

It certainly wouldn’t take The Wildcats long to close out the nights scoring. With 1:27 left in the quarter, Middle Park’s Tucker had his pass intercepted by Sanchez and returned for a 45-yard touchdown.

For Bright and Middle Park’s sophomore receiver Mitch Garnder, the game was a nightmare.

“They came out with energy and had some good plays,” Bright said. “We lost our quarterback to the injury and he didn’t come back. We certainly had our problems in the second quarter and we couldn’t rebound. You just can’t dig a hole like we did and be able to come back.”

The Yellow flags came out more than either team would have liked, but mostly for the five-yard variety. The Academy was penalized 12 times for 62 yards while Middle Park was flagged 10 times for 70. Only two 15-yard penalties were given among the 22 violations.

A case of underestimating

By Scott Stocker

Perhaps Broomfield’s volleyball team underestimated Horizon prior to playing the match against the homestanding Hawks, September 16.

That certainly was the case in the minds of Broomfield’s Maddie Kern and Breanna Frankell prior to the match. But the Eagles were able to prevail over Horizon, 25-23, 27-25, 25-15, in their Class 5A, Frontier League encounter. The Eagles improved to 7-4 overall, 3-0 in the league, as the Hawks dropped to 2-5, 0-3.

The under estimation began early for Broomfield as the Eagles quickly fell behind Horizon, 10-3, in the first set. It did take some time to recover. After being down 19-15, the Eagles were able to run off six-straight points to go ahead 21-19. But even that margin didn’t hold long.

Horizon’s Nicole Thurmes sparked the comeback with a kill that put a halt to Broomfield’s spurt. The Hawks would eventually tie the Eagles, 23-23. However, Callie Kaiser, who would eventually have 10 kills on the night, would put an end to

Horizon’s effort for a 24-23 lead.

Broomfield would win the game as the serve by Kern would be hit back into the net by the Hawks. It definitely was time to take into account that Horizon was not about to give in to the Eagles easily.

“We came in not overwhelmed by them and we didn’t think to take them seriously,” said Kern, a 5-foot, 11-inch junior.

“We got the win and that’s what counts the most. The key for us is to take teams seriously every time and just go out and play hard. Credit Horizon as they played hard against us.”

Horizon nearly pulled out the second set. The Hawks managed to gain what appeared to be the game-winning effort, leading 24-20. However Broomfield managed to ground the Hawks. With Frankell serving, the Eagles won the next five points for a 25-24 advantage.

Horizon got a game tying point to tie the score, 25-25. But a kill by Frankell, got the ball back, allowing Tori Biggerstaff the serve. Her effort was knocked into the net by a Horizon player, thus ending the set and a win for the Eagles.

BROOMFIELD, HORIZON BROOMFIELD 3, HORIZON 0 Broomfield 25 27 25 – 3 Horizon 23 25 15 – 0 It went much easier for Broomfield in the third set. The Eagles were able to build a 18-7 lead, again with Frankell helping to lead the way, and had little trouble closing out the game.

“We could go out and pass better, but in the end we had more perfection,” said Frankell, a 6-1, junior. “We just need to get better, though. We need to play up to our potential and there were times tonight we didn’t. But it’s good to get the win and they, too, did play us pretty hard.”

Larsen was in agreement with his players.

“The first two sets we didn’t seem to size up to the task,” Larsen said. “They hurt us with their play, which was pretty good. We just needed to step up and direct the ball.

We became solid on offense and defense to finally pull it out. We just want to make

things happen.”

Horizon coach, Jess Sponenberg, was pleased with the way her team opened up.

“We would see improvement after the first two games,” Sponenberg said. “We just need to slow down, but the girls came on strong at the end. Countney Richardson and Nicole Thurmes had strong games for us. They just want to get the ball to their teammates and hit hard when they have the opportunities. The girls came through with some tremendous saves out there and play at the net was strong for both teams.”

Richardson and Thurmes were pleased with the way their teammates played. They just wish they could have pulled out the win.

“It was a lot of fun tonight as we all came to play hard,” Richardson said. “I just want to stay focused and not quit under any circumstances. It was a good effort from all of us.”

Added Thurmes, “I think we had to settle down and hit the ball harder. The first two games, we just couldn’t finish. We just need to push hard. But, it was a good effort by all of us.”

Football roundup: Gators get a close one

By Scott Stocker Standley Lake was able to take advantage of a fine second quarter on the football field to come through with a thrilling 38-33 victory last Friday against home-standing Littleton. The Gators improved to 2-2 with the victory while the Lions dropped to 1-4 in the nonleague tilt.

Littleton jumped out in front, 7-0, in the first quarter and would score 14 points in the second quarter. But it was in that second quarter that Standley Lake would pull ahead, 31-21. The Gators would tally a fifth touchdown in the fourth quarter that would cement the win.

Connor Durant led the way with a pair of touchdowns for Standley Lake and certainly helped the Gators cause by kicking five extra points. Jesse Nordman, John Ruiz-Perez and Michael Kerr would all add a touchdown apiece to the cause.

Kerr was the leading rusher for Standley Lake in the game with 21 carries for 100 yards. Ruiz-Perez rushed 13 times for 62 yards while Durant paved the way on the receiving end of the ball catching nine passes for 175 and his two scores.

Defensively, Anthony Moore led the way with 11 tackles. Durant, having a good night on both sides of the ball, came through with eight tackles. Grant Gladstone and Ryan Wosk each added six tackles apiece to the total.

Standley Lake will host Dakota Ridge, Sept. 26. Littleton has an off week and will host Green Mountain, October 3.

LEGACY 21, HORIZON 17 It was another close encounter last Friday in which Legacy came through with a 21-17 victory over Horizon in their Front Range League encounter.

Legacy quarterback Matt Lynch had a solid night throwing the football as he completed 15-of-28 passes for 173 yards

and a touchdown to Dalton Royer and also scored a touchdown on the ground.

Royar led the way for the receivers with seven receptions for 79 yards.

Connor Connolly rushed 17 times for 131 yards to lead the ground game for Legacy and scored the other touchdown for Legacy. Evan Baugh rushed for 24 yards, but couldn’t find his way into the end zone.

Ayden Karraker didn’t have the night he could have hoped for Horizon as he completed seven-of-17 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown to Jacob Dinkel.

Dinkel caught three pass for 61 yards.

Keenan Wilson scored the other touchdown for Horizon.

Horizon led, 10-7, after three quarters, but couldn’t hold on in the end as the Lightning struck for a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

Both teams will carry 2-2 overall records into this week’s action. Legacy, 1-1 in the Front Range League, will host Mountain Range on Saturday while Horizon, 0-2, travels to play Rocky Mountain.

WESTMINSTER 47, THORNTON 12 Westminster’s Nick Etchells and Nate Howe helped pave the way to the Warrior’s 47-12 victory over Thornton last Friday. The Warriors improved to 2-2 while Thornton lost for the fourth time this season.

Etchells rushed seven times for 77 yards and was able to come through with three touchdowns and a two-point conversion. He also led the Warriors defensively with a team-leading eight tackles. Howe didn’t score, but he helped the ground game rushing eight times for 94 yards.

Westminster was able to build a 32-0 halftime lead then stretched the margin to 47-12 going into the fourth quarter.

Neither team scored in the final 12 minutes.

Thornton quarterback, Zane Zuniga, was able to complete seven-of-14 pass-

es, but for only 42 yards and no touchdowns. The Trojans Caden Furhman, who rushed for 63 yards, managed to score both his teams touchdowns in the third quarter. The Trojans Alika Kealoha rushed 16 times for 112 yards.

Westminster plays at Brighton, September 26, while Thornton will host Prairie View, also on the 26th.

NORTHGLENN 30, MONTBELLO 19 Northglenn finally got into the win column this past Friday as the Norse defeated Montbello, 30-19.

Northglenn scored two first quarter touchdowns and added a field goal in the second quarter for a 17-7 halftime lead.

The Norse went on to score a touchdown in each of the third and fourth quarters to counter the same number of touchdowns by the Warriors.

Jarrett Johnson completed 14-of-20 passes for 157 yards for Northglenn.

His top target was Isaiah Pantua, who caught seven for 95 yards and a touchdown. Chris Brown caught three passes for 25 and Shane Padilla two for 25 to also help pace the victory.

Brown and Padilla had pretty fair nights carrying the football, too. Brown rushed for 84 yards while Padilla tacked on 69 yards for the winners.

Jerell Nettles rushed 22 times for 181 yards and scored all three of Montbellos touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough to pull out a win.

Montbello quarterback Solomon Williams lost 24 yards on his five carries. He was somewhat able to redeem himself as he completed nine-of-20 passes for 143 yards through the air. Leading the way for the receivers was Aaris Bonds, two catches for 59 yards.

Northglenn received a fine defensive effort from Andrew Drennen and Francisco Lopez, who each had 11 tackles.

Cole Anderson and Kris Hassell each chipped in with 10. Drennen and Lopez also came through with a sack.

Montbello’s Anthony Ige did come

through with a solid defensive effort with 14 tackles. Sedrick Bouknight had eight, while Keith Williams, Jamaal Fitch and Dion Hamm each had seven. Williams also picked off two Northglenn passes.

HOLY FAMILY 50, FREDERICK 7 Holy Family’s Chris Helbig completed 11-of-17 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns to spark the Tigers to their 50-7 victory over Frederick last Friday.

They improved to 3-1 overall while Frederick fell to 0-4.

Helbig was on target to six receivers.

He hit Joey Golter for an 85-yard touchdown, his longest of the game. He also threw touchdown passes to Chanson Segeth and Matt Durnford and even tacked on a two-point conversion run.

Not only that, he had a solid day on defense as he was able to recover two Frederick fumbles.

Six runners also were on track as they accounted for 218 yards on the ground via 26 carries. Leading the way was Ryan Younggreen, who rushed 13 times for 116 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Michael Zeman was also productive on the ground as he rushed five times 38-yards and two touchdowns.

Younggreen helped get Holy Family off to quick start scoring his first touchdown on a 17-yard run on the Tigers first offensive possession of the game.

Defensively, Holy Family was well spread out. Joseph Prieto led the way with seven tackles while Ben Lavoie, with six, and Julian Prieto, with five to help lead the balanced defensive day.

Ben Vue was the top runner for Frederick carrying the ball 11 times for 64 yards and scoring the lone touchdown for the Warriors on a 13-yard run in the fourth quarter.

Holy Family will host Niwot and Frederick will host Northridge on Friday.

Adams 12 Five Star school board members Kathy Plomer, Norm Jennings, Rico Figueroa and Mark Clark get sprayed with water by a Westminster firefighter on Sept. 3 during the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, which promotes awareness of ALS and raises money for research. After being drenched, the board challenged every other Adams County school board including District 50, Mapleton, 27J and Adams 14 to take the Ice Bucket Challenge. Photo by Ashley Reimer

Preparation is a valuable endeavor regardless of one’s pursuits. With the fall season fast approaching and sportsmen looking toward time in the outdoors during the big and small game hunting seasons, it is wise to make preparation the number one task on the outdoors readiness list.

A few hours sighting in rifles and adjusting scopes and catching a few flying clay pigeons with the shotgun on the trap range can be easily overlooked, but definitely needs to be on the top ten preparation list. There are a number of ranges in the Metro Area, but one close in Adams County area is Colorado Clays Shooting Park, located a short five mile drive east of Brighton on Bromley Lane. A call for a reservation time and open range hours will be a call much appreciated when you take the field in October and throughout the winter hunting seasons. Colorado Clays and staff can be reached at 303-659-7117.

Another high priority and essential preparation item for all sportsmen who were born after 1949 is securing a Colorado Hunter Education Certificate. Classes can be located online by going to www.cpw.co.us. Find the task bar at the top of the webpage and click on “Calendar”. That link will take you to “Looking for a Hunter Education Course” and locations of upcoming class sessions. It is state law to have the Hunter Education certificate in your possession when hunting both small and big game.

One preparation item that simply is too often ignored is first aid, CPR and injury care in the outdoors. Some local outdoors shops sponsor programs. In the absence of a sponsored class, consider seeking out a local professional and qualified instructor. Wayne Smart, an EMT Instructor who offers a group presentation on this very subject matter is one recommendation. Wayne Smart can be reached at faroutfa@gmail.com, regarding program schedules, costs and related questions. Specific training topics include responding to remote emergencies, CRP, choking and how to construct stretchers for evacuation. What a participant takes away from this training class can literally save a life or prevent serious long-term physical impacts.
