With a single click, Coloradans are making an impact.

Colorado Gives Day, an annual statewide philanthropical giving event, takes place Tuesday, Dec. 9, in a computer, tablet and phone near you. Now in it’s fifth year, the day, sponsored by Arvada’s Community First Foundation, is a statewide effort to increase charitable giving.

“For nonprofits its great to be there so people can find you and learn more about you and get excited about what your doing,” said Dana Rinderknecht, director of online giving for the Community First Foundation. “It really is fun to see what’s going on, what’s happening in your neighborhood and how can I support the people that are my neighbors.”

Over the course of 24 hours, residents across the state can log on to www.coloradogives.org and donate to their favorite local nonprofit organizations.

Founded on the desire to increase giving, the event has steadily grown from 530 registered nonprofits five years ago, to include more than 1,600 organizations on the giving list, with the potential to grow more.

“There’s a potential for probably six to seven

thousand around the state that can participate in this, it’s just awareness,” Rinderknecht said. “We’re trying to bring the rest of the state on board.”

This year, along with the website, Community First has launched a free iPhone and Android smartphone app to make it easier for residents to participate.

“On the day, it will have the ticker, so you can see how much has been raised,” Rinderknecht said.

“It’s going to be really fun on the day to watch the numbers go up, but you can also click and donate.”

For participating organizations, like the Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies (GRRR), these donations go a long way, helping to provide money for key programs in the organization, such as medical costs.

“We’re not a very large nonprofit,” said Kevin Shipley, executive director of GRRR. “For us, we spend about 90 percent of our money on program, and our largest budget item we have is medical for the dogs ... that’s a pup we can help get well and will go on to give a family 15 years of love.”

Founded in 2010, the event has raised more than $58 million for more than 1,600 Colorado nonprofits.

“It’s a movement,” Rinderknecht said. “It’s amazing what Coloradans have done. We’ve distributed $58 million dollars — that’s a lot of zeros.”

City attorney duties for Westminster will be taken on by a new face come Jan. 12, 2015.

The city hired David Frankel as the new city attorney, replacing Marty McCullough who retired in September after 30 years of service to the city.

The position became official after contract approval by city council on Nov. 24. Frankel will receive a $168,000 annual salary.

“We’re delighted to bring to our city someone with the talent, experience and energy David Frankel of David Frankel,” said Westminster Mayor Herb Atchison. “This was a very competitive hiring process that drew national interest. We could not be more pleased with the results.”

Frankel comes from the Mesa County Attorney’s office. Since 2000 he’s served as an assistant county attorney and chief assistant county attorney before taking on his current role as acting county attorney. Frankel earned his law degree from the University of Denver in 1995.

“I’m really pleased to have the opportunity to move to the Front Range,” he said. “I have family in the area and am very excited about returning to the Front Range to be near them and also work for Westminster, which has a great reputation and is a well-managed organization.”

As the city attorney, Frankel said his role will be ensuring the city and council are aware of all state and federal laws as well and home rule charter policies when making decisions.

With over 900 city employees, Frankel said as city attorney he must consider all the paths as a way of achieving goals and understand compliance requirements while minimizing risk.

“My goal in the organization is helping the city achieve their strategic goals and learning as much as possible to make that happen,” he said. “I want to build relationships with staff and council and support them in their mission.”

Frankel’s always enjoyed working with local governments. And now he’s able to continue his passion while enjoying the amenities of Westminster.

“My wife and kids and I love the outdoors and everything Colorado has to offer,” he said.

“And we’re really excited to continue all our favorite outdoor activities right here in Westminster.”

Whole Foods going north

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com Making the leap from the Whole Foods Market in Boulder, one of the busiest stores in the company, to the new Westminster location, was tough for Robert Romero in the beginning.

As the grocery team leader at the Pearl Street store for nine years, Romero felt secure with his team and also knew his way around the market.

But after realizing he’d have the opportunity to serve his own community, the switch was an easy one.

“I’ve lived in the Westminster, Broomfield and Thornton areas for the past 25 years and after I started working at Whole Foods I was always telling my family and friends to shop there, but didn’t have a close place to send them,” Romero Whole Foods continues on Page 22

Remembering a brush with fame Editors note: This is an excerpt from Mary Stobie’s new memoir You Fall Off, You Get Back On. Talk about tension. I had my 15 minutes of fame when I appeared in a feature movie from Columbia Pictures called Hardcore in l978. I had a speaking part in a scene with George C. Scott.

How did this come to be? How did a rodeo cowgirl from Colorado become nearly famous? You see in my twenties I had delusions of grandeur. A palm reader had once studied my palm and told me the lines beneath my ring finger formed a star. This meant I would be a well-known person or at least notorious.

So as many young hopeful twentysomethings do, I moved to Hollywood to chase my dream. My goal was to become a screenwriter. The American Film Institute in Beverly Hills accepted me as a “Writing Fellow.” As ‘fellows’ in an exclusive film school, we all had the chance to rub shoulders with famous actors, directors and producers.

Paul Schrader, who wrote Taxidriver delivered a lecture for writers which I attended. He mentioned a small seminar he was offering for 10 students and accepted me into the class. He was an awesome teacher, who encouraged me in my writing. He gave the class tips like, “Bring in the gun by page 30 of your screenplay.” In other words start some major tension in

your story early.

At the time of the seminar, Schrader was in pre-production for Hardcore with George C. Scott. I asked Schrader if I could read for the part of a counter woman who George C. Scott talks with while placing an ad at the Los Angeles Free Press.

I read the part in the script for the casting director, Vic Ramos, got hired, and obtained a Screen Actors Guild card. Now what would I wear? Hardcore had a dark underbelly involving criminals, murderers and sex so I played against that by wearing my hair in pigtails and a red T-shirt that said “Mischief.” I practiced my lines over an over until I had them down pat.

When I got to the set, I spotted George C. Scott—bigger and taller than I imagined. He sat in a director’s chair with his huge Mastiff dog sitting beside him like a sentry. Scott emanated power and all I could think of was General George Patton.

I felt queasy.

“The assistant director will run through your lines with you,” director Paul Schrader told me. “George won’t do it.”

Yikes, I was too insignificant and Scott was too famous, too big a star, to rehearse with me. He was General George Patton in charge of the whole army of the crew, actors, even the director. In addition to the residue of General Patton in his spirit, Scott was now playing Jake Van Dorn an angry explosive father. He was fully in character and his dog stood at attention a few feet away, ready to attack me if I threatened his master.

To add to my nervousness, the actor ahead of Scott in line spoke his off color lines to me.

Then the gigantic George C. Scott, took his place at the counter.

As a green actress facing this legend of an actor shadowed by his threatening dog, I felt jittery. I thought of Schrader’s lesson in screenwriting class and bringing in the gun to create tension. I wanted to scream, “Enough tension, Paul Schrader, you punk film director!”

But instead, my throat tightened and I flubbed my line.

George C. Scott glared at me and repeated my line to me! He was running circles around me! My face felt hot as I was embarrassed. All eyes of the crew, and director were focused on me.

Somehow I rose to the occasion and we

completed the scene. I guess the director liked my performance, because he gave me a close up in the final cut. At the Hollywood screening debut of Hardcore for the cast, the Vic Ramos said to me, “You were very natural, Mary.”

I was paid $275 for a few minutes of screen time and received enormous residuals of $10 a year. This was for Hardcore showings on movie channels, which helped my M&M habit.

Appearing in the Hardcore taught me three important things. First, you have to ask for what you want. I asked for the part and got it. Second, if you do anything in a movie, but especially acting, people think you are larger than life, superhuman and a little divine. Third, after these same people get to know you, as they did me, they come to suspect you are just a human being. At the same time they wonder if you will return to the screen.

Oh, yeah, sure!

Mkboyer8@gmail.com Tis’ the season for a hometown tradition with Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elves as they arrive Dec. 5 at the Holiday Lighting Ceremony at the Northglenn Recreation Center, 11801 Community Center Drive.

This year’s event will start at 5:30 p.m. with the lighting ceremony in front of the recreation center and continue until 8:30 p.m. with fun activities for the entire family.

“Each year Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive in a unique way and it’s a surprise to the community,” Neighborhood specialist Jennette Sanchez said. “In past years, this has included an escort by Star Wars Storm Troopers, motorcycles, antique cars and a horse and buggy.

“Northglenn invites families to join as they commence the holiday season with this fun and free event.”

This year’s activities will expand to not only the theater and gym, but also the swimming pool area of the recreation center. There will be many activities for kids following the lighting ceremony. WOW Bubbles; otherwise known as the “giant hamster balls,” that people get inside of and roll around on the water will be available. Inflatables, balloon twisters, games, arts and crafts will be just some of the activities in the gym.

Before the event, starting at 1 p.m. the Northglenn Senior Organization will sponsor its annual bake sale in the lobby of the recreation center, until all good are sold out.

The Northglenn Community Foundation will sell slices of pizza as a fundraiser for the Utility Assistance Program.

“The city will collect canned goods, new toys and gently used clothing for those who need it in our community,” she said. “There will be large bins in the lobby of the recreation center for drop-off.”

At the senior center, pictures will take place with Santa while Mrs. Claus will sing and engage the kids in joining along. Cookies and cider will also be available while waiting for Santa.

There will also be a concert in the theater during the event.

People who want to volunteer can contact Jeanette Sanchez at 303-450-8935 or jsanchez@northglenn.org. “Since there’ll be lots of kids at the event volunteers must pass a background check,” she said.

Organ donation saves Westminster mom’s life

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com For Westminster resident Tiffany Pierce, receiving a liver transplant wasn’t only life changing, but lifesaving.

In February 2013, the mother of two was given the news that she only had a 20 percent chance of living, with a transplant as the only chance of survival. She was given 90 days to live and began making her final arrangements, including hospice care and having a heart-breaking conversation with her children.

“I spoke with my kids about what life could be like once I’m gone,” she said. “It was a really hard time for all of us.

But five months later, Peirce received a call that a liver was available. Now Peirce is living a full life taking nothing for granted.

“It’s hard to describe the feeling of gratitude I have for being given my life back,” she said. “It’s an amazing experience to live through something very critical and scary and then be told you have a second chance at life, an opportunity to get my life back and being able to do the simple things like drive a car. It was an incredible gift.”

Since Pierce’s transplant she’s become very involved in Donate Life Colorado, an online donor registry that also educates the community on organ, eye and tissue donation. She spends a large amount of time volunteering at events and telling her story in hopes of encouraging others to become donors.

Pierce’s next event is the 9NEWS Parade of Lights on Dec. 5 and 6. She’ll join other transplant recipients in an effort to give thanks for the selfless actions of their donors by escorting the Donate Life Colorado float promoting a new awareness campaign for organ and tissue donation called “My hero said yes.”

The campaign also honors past donors who made the decision to say “yes” by registering as an organ, eye and tissue donor.

“Becoming a donor is the profound gift of life, and that’s what this campaign is all about,” Pierce said. “Donation is about allowing someone’s legacy live on through someone else

Tiffany Pierce received a liver transplant last year. Now she’s participating in the 9NEWS Parade of Lights to show support for past organ, tissue and eye donors. Courtesy photo or many other people.”

Andrea Smith from Donor Alliance, an accredited tissue bank serving Colorado, said there are currently more than 2,500 people in Colorado waiting for a lifesaving transplant.

For people looking for ways to give back to their communities during the holidays, Smith suggests registering as organ, eye

and tissue donors online at www.donatelifecolorado.org or at the driver’s license office when receiving or renewing a driver’s license or state ID. “Just one donor can save eight lives through organ donation and save or heal more than 100 through tissue donation,’ Smith said.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Dining event to support No Kid Hungry Campaign

Supporting nonprofit organization Share Our Strength, Kachina Southwestern Grill in Westminster is hosting a Dine Out for Childhood Hunger event all day on Dec. 9. During the event, 10 percent of the dining proceeds will be donated the Share Our Strength’s Colorado Cooking Matters Program, which is part of the organization’s No Kid Hungry campaign. The cam-

paign works to ensure that every child has access to healthy food every day. For more information, visit www.sagerestaurantgroup.com or www.nokidhungry.org.

Engineering and surveying firm expands, moves locations

Manhard Consulting, a civil engineering and surveying firm has relocated its Westminster office to a larger space. Growth in demand for the firm’s services and the

resulting expansion of staff led to the move. The larger office space at 10835 Dover St. Suites 700-800, allows Manhard to continue growing staff to more efficiently respond to client needs, particularly in the burgeoning energy market in the region.

In addition, the design of the new office space provides the opportunity to create a more collaborative work space. Until now, the Westminster office operated as Accurate EngiSurv, a division of Manhard

Consulting, after the principals and associates of Accurate EngiSurv joined Manhard in late 2013. Since then, the site’s staff has grown 50 percent.

With the relocation, the Westminster office will operate as Manhard Consulting and will bring broad scope of civil engineering and surveying services, including increased access to construction layout, boundary surveys, global position surveys and automated computer mapping.

Wonderland Brewing Company offers 12 craft beers on tap. Photo by Ashley Reimers

Brewery crafting up unique beers

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Joshua Willett considers himself a history beer buff.

He’s the head brewer at Wonderland Brewing Company in Broomfield, and since May, he’s been creating and serving up craft beer to locals and neighboring residents in Westminster.

“I never thought I was into history, but beer making has changed that and now I love beer history,” he said. “There’s documented history over thousands and thousands of years of what was being made, how it was being produced and even what vessels were being used to produce it in. And now we have the technology and science to make all these beer styles that have been made for the past 15,000 years.”

Wonderland, a 9,000 square foot facility at 5450 W 120th Ave., offers beer enthusiasts the experience of tasting up to 12 beers on tap varying from traditional pale ales to Belgian blonds to stouts. The beers are also available to go in 32-ounce cans, poured and seamed on the spot.

Willett said some beers can take up to 2 years to make, while others take just 20 days.

“A lot of people don’t realize how long some beers take to make,” he said “So for me, it’s finding that balance of keeping interesting beers on tap that take a few weeks to make

and keeping beers on tap that take months and months to make. It’s surprisingly stressful, but it’s the cool part of my job.

Wonderland also offers family activities like ping pong, cornhole and outdoor basketball. Friday and Saturday nights feature live music and local food trucks also stop by throughout the week for a variety of food choices.

“When people walk in, they automatically see a lot of fun. We have colorful walls, snowboard tables and stuff for people do while enjoying their beer,” said Brooke Davis, marketing and events coordinator. “We’re a family destination. We have something completely unique in the suburbs.”

Although the space is large, Willett still considers Wonderland a small batch brewery — for the time being. Having 9,000 squarefeet allows the brewery to grow in the future, but Willett says starting out with a small operation gives him the freedom to focus on creating solid beers.

“Not everyone will like every beer, but we’re hoping people can find a favor profile and hop profile they like in at least one of the realm of 12 drafts,” he said. “And what’s awesome is that we’re making new beers all the time. In six months we’ve already made 22 different beers, so there’s always something new.”

She said she was there with numerous other protesters to support “fair wages and full-time work” for Wal-Mart workers. “The hourly wage is set by industry standards and if you are going to require $15, it is going to ultimately hurt the customers,” said Bruce Jameson, a full-time employee at the location, who has been with the company five years since he retired from the U.S. Marines. Kayla Whaling, spokeswoman for Wal-Mart, said the company is focused on providing opportunities and the average wage is $11.83. She added people at the protests are sometimes union paid demonstrators. Photo by Mikkel Kelly

Commuter rail cars on display New trains at Union Station for viewing

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Commuter rail transit is a couple of years away for much of metro Denver, but folks this week can view the high-speed train cars that will soon operate in suburban areas.

The 70-ton, 85-foot long commuter cars currently are on display at Denver’s Union Station. There, the public can tour and learn

about the Denver area’s soon-to-be newest mode of transit, through Dec. 6.

The trains are located on the commuter rail platform, directly behind Union Station, and will be on display 11-7 p.m. each day.

The vehicles are among 66 commuter cars that will operate along four new rail lines that have been developed from a Regional Transportation Division FasTracks project.

Three rails will operate beginning in 2016: The East Rail line will connect to Denver International Airport. The Gold Line will travel to Arvada and Wheat Ridge. And the North-

west Rail will serve Westminster.

The North Metro Rail Line to Thornton will operate beginning in 2018.

“Our community has been looking forward to this happening for a long time,” City of Thornton spokesman Todd Barnes said of the North Metro Rail Line. “We’re glad to see it starting to happen.”

Each commuter car can carry up to 232 passengers. The roomy cars will feature overhead storage areas as well as luggage and bicycle racks.

And don’t confuse the commuter cars with the familiar light rail vehicles that have

been operating in Denver since the 1990s.

Similar to light rail vehicles, the commuter cars will also be powered by overhead electric lines. But the commuter cars are heavier and are capable of traveling up to 79 miles per hour. The vehicles can go longer distances and will make fewer stops than a light rail system.

RTD spokesman Kevin Flynn said he’s not worried about any potential public confusion over the two modes of transit.

“The bottom line is it doesn’t really matter what they call it as long as they ride it,” he said.

WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL ON THE RECORD Westminster City Council voted on the following legislation during the Nov. 24 meeting. Council members in attendance were Mayor Herb Atchison, Mayor Pro Tem Faith Winter and councilors Alberto Garcia, Bruce Baker, Emma Pinter, Bob Briggs and Anita Seitz.

Bill passed for appropriation of funds

Council unanimously pass Councilor’s Bill No. 36 on first reading, providing for a supplemental appropriation of funds to the 2014 budget of the General, Legacy Ridge, Heritage at Westmoor, Parks, Open Space and Trails and General Capital Improvement funds. General fund amendments include: $49,063 for grant proceeds, $18,001 for reimbursements and $4,891for program revenue. The Legacy Ridge Fund amendment includes: $6,000 for program revenue. The Heritage at Westmoor Fund amendment includes: $107,886 for reimbursements. Parks, Open Space and Trails Fund amendments include: $250,000 for carryover and $13,871 for rent. General Capital Improvement Fund amendment includes: $263,871 for transfers. The total expenditure is $713,583 and the funding sources for these budgetary adjustments include program revenue, grant proceeds, reimbursements, rent, carryover, and transfers.

Bill No. 37 on first reading appropriating a balance of funds received from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, HUD Section 108 Loan Fund Program, in the amount of $100,000. The city authorized an initial appropriation of $1.4 million on Sept. 24, 2012, leaving a balance of $100,000 for future appropriation. Should the funds not be spent, the balance will no longer be available to help fund redevelopment of the Lowell Boulevard property.

Approval allows the $100,000 award balance to be appropriated and applied to the balance of appropriated proceeds of approximately $358,000 to provide funding to complete the acquisition of property in further support of the redevelopment at 73rd Avenue and Lowell Boulevard

Contract approved for drainageway project

Council unanimously passed Councilor’s Bill No. 38 on first reading appropriating $428,459 to the McKay Drainageway Project from Adams County Open Space grant for trail improvements. The city manager was also authorized to award the bid and execute a contract with Concrete Express, Inc., in the amount of $4,499,907.20 for the construction of the project and authorize a construction contingency of $275,000 for a total authorized expenditure of $4,774,907.20. The McKay Drainageway Project is a planned system of drainage facilities in the general area located between 136th Avenue and 144th

Avenue and east from Zuni Street to Big Dry Creek at Washington Street in Thornton. The only remaining unimproved portion of the drainageway lies between I-25 and Huron Street where a wide, shallow floodplain still exists. This floodplain is a significant constraint to the development of one of the larger vacant sites in the city.

Resolution passed for IGA amendment

Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 27 authorizing the city manager to execute a contract amendment regarding the Intergovernmental Agreement with the Colorado Department of Transportation, Adams County, Broomfield, Federal Heights, Northglenn, Thornton and Weld County pertaining to the I-25 North Managed Lanes Project.

This project, now estimated at $60 million, will fund one new managed toll lane in each direction on I-25 between U.S. 36 and 120th Avenue. This managed lane will provide motorists a choice to carpool, take transit or pay a toll to access the lane. A $15 million federal TIGER IV discretionary grant was awarded to this project. State, regional and local dollars are funding the remaining project cost.

Legislative policy statement approved

Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 28 establishing the city of Westminster 2015 Legislative Policy Statement.

The Legislative Policy Statement identifies general legislative issues of interest

to the city and articulates the city’s policy principles on these issues. Staff uses the Policy Statement as direction when reviewing and analyzing bills that may have an impact on the city’s interests.

Adoption of the Legislative Policy Statement allows staff and council to move quickly when legislation is introduced at the capitol. The ability to act in a timely manner increases the city’s overall effectiveness when it comes to influencing legislation that affects municipalities.

Specific Plan approved on second reading After a 6-1 vote, Baker voting in opposition, council passed Councilor’s Bill No. 35 on second reading for the rezoning of the site of the former Westminster Mall from Planned Unit Development to Specific Plan District. This Specific Plan has been initiated by the city in cooperation with the Westminster Economic Development Authority, WEDA. The purpose of this Specific Plan is to aid WEDA in connection with the planning and undertaking of WEDA’s urban renewal project previously designated by WEDA as the Westminster Urban Center Reinvestment Project. Bill was passed on first reading by council on Nov. 10.

The next council meeting will be 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 8, at City Hall, 4800 W. 92nd Ave. in Westminster.

Standing up and being counted Standing up and being counted. It takes guts. It takes courage. It shows you are willing to be identified as opposing the current thinking by those in control. You recognize that there could be consequences. This isn’t the 1970’s with the Berlin Wall in place and East Berliners protesting.

This is 2014 right here in our backyard at Westminster City Hall. At the Nov. 10 City Council meeting, petitions signed by 255 Westminster City employees were submitted to the City Council urging the council to call an election for 2015 to allow Westminster voters to decide collective bargaining with the fire fighters. These employees and likely more who chose not to sign the petitions do not support council going ahead on their own to decide the city government’s fate on establishing at least the first employee union to negotiate on a host of issues.

City employees input counts I admire every one of these employees. As I reviewed the set of petitions, I recognized quite a few of the names listed.

Quite a few of them are long-term employees of at least 20 years of employment who have invested their careers here. I respect their opinion and I certainly hope that the City Council does too and understands the importance of this communique.

In part, the city employees are indicat-

ing that by recognizing a union to engage in collective bargaining would have a negative impact on the working environment. The existing camaraderie would be impacted. They also know that if one union is recognized that others would likely follow such as Police Department personnel. Rather than four people deciding this precedent setting decision, the employees are saying let the Westminster citizens/taxpayers weigh in and decide this meaty issue.

Fear of repercussions

The petition signers who stepped up to express their stand did so while being fearful that repercussions could perhaps take place. They have so stated this concern publicly. I do not know if they are fearful of City Council members or their supervisors or top management of the city. I did note that no department heads or staff in the City Manager’s Office chose

Is Dave Logan the greatest coach in Colorado history?

Seven championship teams at four different programs. That is what Wheat Ridge High School and University of Colorado alum Dave Logan accomplished when his Cherry Creek team upset Valor Christian 25-24 to win the 5A state title Saturday.

Therefore we asked our loyal reader’s one simple question: Is Dave Logan the greatest coach in the history of Colorado sports? Here are a few of their answers:

Poor job of communications

SHARI MARTINEZ Circulation Manager

At the Dec. 1 City Council Study Session, the topic of the collective bargaining issue is scheduled to be discussed (this column is written prior to Dec. 1). I plan to be in attendance to hear firsthand just what each city councillor is saying and where they stand. Since this topic has not been mentioned by the city administration or reported in newspaper coverage, it is frustrating that the issue is not better known within the community. Even a couple of councillors acknowledged to me that the city has done a poor job of communicating this situation. Those councillors who support adopting an ordinance to set the negotiating parameters keep telling me that the public is not opposed to allowing collective bargaining.

However, I contend that the public is not informed about what is going on. How can they be concerned about something they do not know about? Perhaps the City Council should hold a public forum on the subject at hand and give anyone who wishes to speak the opportunity to state their position.

9 Westminster Window 9

December 4, 2014

It doesn’t matter how you do it … just give They stand on street corners with cardboard signs telling me that anything helps, and I give money to these rugged raggedy people. I keep dollar bills handy, sometimes even the occasional five, and I roll down my window to pass my cash to the person who sprints over.

This doesn’t make me a better – or worse – person than someone else who won’t do this. It’s simply something that I want to do, something that I feel compelled to do. Bad luck, bad choices, bad timing … I don’t judge, I just do what I can. ’Tis the season – the season for giving, for doing what any of us can. The holidays bring into sharper focus the circumstances of those less fortunate than we, and also provide an abundance of ways to help. On the day before Thanksgiving, when the wind was whipping and wicked, the Salvation Army was tended by a stalwart bell ringer outside the supermarket. I was glad I had a few bucks at the time, and I’m going to make a habit of having small bills on me

when I go to the store now.

There are other ways to make a difference with our donations. Tuesday, Dec. 9, is Colorado Gives Day, a statewide movement to celebrate and increase philanthropy in Colorado. This “give where you live” initiative is part of ColoradoGives.org.

Community First Foundation and FirstBank have partnered to present Colorado Gives Day since 2010, which is one of the most successful events of its kind in the nation, having already distributed more 58 million dollars to Colorado nonprofits.

What’s great about ColoradoGives.org – which operates year round, by the way – is that the website provides comprehensive, objective, and up-to-date information about more than 1,600 Colorado nonprofit organizations. If you don’t already have a charity or two in mind, you can search by cause, by city, or even ZIP code, and then check out its profile. From there, just select “Donate Now” and contribute online. You don’t need to create an account to make a donation, so just skip that step if you don’t want one.

If you make a donation on, or schedule one for, Colorado Gives Day, Tuesday, Dec. 9, then your donation will qualify for a boost from the $1 Million Incentive fund.

Not to be confused with a “match,” the Incentive Fund increases the value of every donation proportionally, which means that if a nonprofit organization receives, say, 7 percent of the total amount of money raised on Colorado Gives Day, that same nonprofit receives 7 percent of the $1 Mil-

lion Incentive Fund.

Of course, getting a boost from a million dollars is an additional incentive for donations, but more than that, Colorado Gives Day is another way for us as a state, as communities, to do what we can. I personally choose Canine Partners of the Rockies, Lighthouse Writers Workshop, and, not surprisingly, Writing for Peace.

I encourage you – no, I urge you – to support any cause of your choice. And whether you make a donation online, at your school, your library, your place of worship, outside the supermarket or through your car window, it doesn’t matter how you do it. Just give.

Learn to focus on what’s right about you Editor’s note: This is the second of a twopart series.

You know what’s wrong with you. You know most of your flaws, what you do poorly, where you are particularly vulnerable and when you don’t measure up.

Likewise, you know when you’re only half-hearted, and you know when you don’t try at all. But before you begin feeling badly about yourself, consider the following questions regarding what’s good about you.

Where do you shine? When are you effective and skilled? When are your actions, words and behaviors proficient and accomplished--even artful? What are your most attractive traits and qualities?

Many people are so focused on what they consider to be wrong about themselves that they fail to look at what is right about them. The following is a collection of behaviors and traits that just might help define some of your finest qualities and attributes. Which of these fit you?

You let other people in. You al-

low yourself to feel attached and vitally engaged with other people, and you are open to and interested in others. This trait is necessary in order for us to have close relationships, a successful marriage, close family connections and vital friendships.

It asks us to sometimes put the interests of others equal to (or above) our own.

You are able to both give and receive love. When we are able to love and be loved, we feel more fully alive and engaged in our lives.

Kindness. Being compassionate, considerate and empathetic toward other

people--and to forms of life other than human.

Integrity. Acting honorably and honestly in your dealings with the world.

Consistently saying what you mean and meaning what you say, and telling the whole truth. Other people can trust your words and agreements.

Perseverance. Going after what you want, and not letting setbacks or failures stop you. Not giving up in spite of formidable obstacles, and staying with a task or a goal until it is finished.

Resilience. Bouncing back from setbacks, disappointments or defeats.

Learning how to wisely cope with difficulty, adversity or loss. Able to face great ordeals and painful experiences without losing your poise, your dignity or your spirit.

Being socially adept and skillful.

Knowing how to get along with others, and being attuned to the moods, temperaments and needs of other people.

Being comfortable with emotions.

Being finely attuned to your feelings, and

the feelings of others. Being in charge of your feelings most of the time so they don’t take you over.

Feeling a sense of gratitude and thanksgiving. Being conscious of the good things that happen to you, and being thankful and grateful. Knowing that you are blessed, and frequently remembering your blessings.

You are playful, able to use humor and you know how to have fun. Can you play well with others? Do you know how to have fun? Where does your sense of humor show itself?

Just letting go There are very few things in life that we can control. God knows, we try! I’m right up there with the best of the control freaks.

I just believe I can fix most family issues, but of course I can’t. Many of us think we’re in control, act as if we’re in control and then fall apart when a family crisis or world disaster occurs.

When we come to the realization that we cannot control anyone but ourselves is when we can come to terms with who we are and why we are here.

It’s then I again turn to one of my favorite poems. Here it is.

Let Go

To “let go” does not mean to stop caring, it means I can’t do it for someone else.

To “let go” is not to cut myself off, it’s the realization I can’t control another.

To “let go” is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.

To “let go” is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.

To “let go” is not to try to change or blame another, it’s to make the most of myself.

To “let go” is not to care for, but to care about.

To “let go” is not to fix, but to be supportive.

To “let go” is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.

To “let go” is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes,

but to allow others to affect their own destinies.

To “let go” is not to be protective, it’s to permit another to face reality.

To “let go” is not to deny, but to accept.

To “let go” is not to nag, scold or argue, but instead to search out my own shortcomings and to correct them.

To “let go” is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes and to cherish myself in it.

To “let go” is not to criticize and regulate anybody, but to try to become what I dream I can be.

To “let go” is to not regret the past, but to grow and to live for the future.

To “let go” is to fear less, and to love more.

Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned.

County tables accessory dwelling unit decision Concerns over design regulations in open areas may be moot

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Jeffco Planning and Zoning Division is closer to finalizing revised zoning regulations surrounding accessory dwelling units or ADUs. But what was supposed to be a final approval from the board county of commissioners turned out to be another setback for county staff.

In April, Heather Gutherless, planning director from planning and zoning drafted and presented a revised zoning resolution that would expand the development and use of ADUs, a second unit accessory to a main house that may be attached or separate from the primary property, and contains a kitchen.

The review headed by Gutherless and her staff to make ADU zoning regulations more inclusive, was brought on by Aging Well Project in Jeffco, a strategic planning project fo-

cused on senior needs.

Part of that need includes exploring housing options as Jeffco’s senior population over the age of 60 is expected to double by 2030.

Since opening meetings about the ADU zoning regulations began, HOAs and members from the mountain communities have expressed concern over the changes.

Updated criteria for ADU’s in unincorporated Jeffco includes; allowing ADUs on lots between 7,500 sq. ft. up to one acre, a maximum height of 25 feet or height of existing structure, whichever is less; no more than three people living in an ADU, the owner of the property must reside in either the ADU or the primary unit.

After three drafts and two public meetings, Gutherless presented the final zoning regulation to the board of county commissioners on Tuesday, Nov. 18 but Commissioners Casey Tighe and Faye Griffin tabled it until Dec. 9 over concerns regarding design guidelines for ADUs on one acre or more in an open area. While commissioners would like to prohibit the construction of ADUs on properties of one acre or more, under zoning regulations dealing with open areas, there are no restrictions to build other types of structures that could be converted into ADUs.

Commissioner Don Rosier proposed the zoning regulation state the ADU must be in compliance with community site plans but the suggestion was shot down by county staff.

“Staff has concerns over mixing policies with the comprehensive master plans and community plans which apply only to rezoning special uses and site approvals with our building permit process,” Gutherless said. If someone is coming in for a building permit, they are subject to the restrictions in the ADU zoning regulations, she said.

Still, Commissioners Tighe and Griffin pushed forward with language that would address design and viewshed issues despite the problems presented with their proposal as expressed by John Wolforth, Jeffco planning and zoning director.

“It’s hard in a zoning resolution because they shouldn’t be gray, they should be pretty black and white,” Wolforth said. “The draft regulation we could bring back to you would be one acre and above, in the middle of an open area no ADUs — however, it would not apply to anything else.

Someone could build a barn, someone could build any other structure if it’s not an ADU. We’re not going to be able to prohibit that within regulations.”

Prayer proclamation clears legal challenge

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Colorado Supreme Court on Nov. 25 dismissed a legal challenge to the governor’s ability to declare Day of Prayer proclamations.

The justices did not rule on the merits of whether it is appropriate for government to encourage prayer, rather the majority determined that the plaintiffs had no legal standing to challenge the proclamations.

In a 5-2 ruling, the court determined that the harm suffered by the plaintiffs was not “injury sufficient” to provide standing and that the administrative costs for issuing prayer proclamations are “incidental” to state taxpayers.

The majority opinion also notes that the proclamations do not require residents to participate in prayer.

The dismissal comes two years after the state Court of Appeals issued a ruling that sided with the plaintiffs.

The plaintiffs are four state residents who are members of the Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation.

They claim that the proclamations – which have been issued

by Democrat and Republican governors – violate constitutional protections for religious freedom.

“Non-religious citizens are being encouraged by the gov-

ernor to engage in a day of prayer,” said Patrick Elliott, an attorney for the foundation. “A lot of people would be upset if the governor called for a day without prayer.”

Elliott was disappointed that the court did not take up the merits of the case.

“The court really said even though taxpayers and the governor’s office spent money, it’s not the type of injury where you can challenge,” Elliott said. “I think their position is that nobody can challenge these proclamations.”

Justices William W. Hood III and Gregory J. Hobbs Jr. offered dissenting opinions of the court’s majority ruling. The justices said that by rejecting the plaintiffs’ standing, “we abdicate our responsibility to consider a matter of great public importance...”

Republican State Attorney General-Elect Cynthia Coffman hailed the court’s ruling.

“This decision by the state’s high court means that like the president of the United States and other governors around the country, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and future Colorado governors are free to issue honorary proclamations without fear of being tied up in court by special interest groups,” Coffman said through an emailed statement. “It was the correct ruling by the justices after careful consideration of the issues.

here is newfound reason to indulge in a pint or two of your favorite beer, and it’s not just to catch up and share a few laughs with friends. New research has shown that a chemical compound in beer may be able to improve cognitive function. The beverage once thought to obliterate brain cells when consumed in abundance may actually have the opposite effect and boost brain power.

No one should run out an start imbibing just yet, however. The study that ran in Behavioral Brain Research in October 2014 was preliminary and only conducted on lab mice. During the study, scientists discovered that xanthohumol, a type of flavonoid found in beer, seemed to improve brain function in the young mice given xanthohumol doses. The cognitive flexibility of the mice was tested with a specially designed maze, and younger mice showed signs of intellectual improvement. Older mice showed no improvements. Researchers believe xanthohumol and other flavonoids, such as those found in red wine, blueberries and dark chocolate, may play a role in helping a person form memories.

The mice were given very high doses of the flavonoid. A person would have to drink roughly 2,000 liters of beer a day to equal what the mice consumed to show improvement.

However, should a supplement hit the market down the road, it may just be possible for men and women to consume a potentially beneficial amount of xanthohumol without bellying up at the bar.

One of the goals of the xanthohumol study was to examine its potential efficacy at treating age-related deficits in memory. Xanthohumol also may benefit those with metabolic syndrome, a condition associated with obesity and high blood pressure, as it can speed metabolism and reduce fatty acids in the liver.

Flavonoids are plant compounds that often provide plants with their color. Scientists have attributed many health benefits to flavonoids in foods and plants and have even suggested flavonoids can help in the fight against cancer and heart disease.

Xanthohumol is rare and is most often found in the hops commonly used to make beer.

While doctors and researchers do not suggest running out and consuming a few six packs right now in the goal of improving brain function and cramming for that next test, xanthohumol may one day be harvested from beer hops to slow down age-related memory deficits.

Jeffco children find forever homes Families recognized for National Adoption Day

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com The holidays are a time for bringing families together.

And for 22 families in Jeffco, they celebrated the seasonal reunion early during National Adoption Day through Jefferson County Human Services.

Twenty-nine children found permanent homes with their longtime committed foster parents on Saturday, Nov. 22.

“Today we don’t make families, we recognize families,” said Justice Brian Boatright of the Colorado Supreme Court. “Adoption isn’t an event, adoption is a promise that is acted out over a lifetime.”

National Adoption Day started in 2000 when hundreds of children were adopted on a single day which brought awareness to children in need in foster care. Since that time, National Adoption Day has had more than 40,000 children who have been adopted on this special day.

Chris and Trivinia Barber who have two biological children

and one adoptive child; Miranda, 4 were present on Saturday to adopt Miranda’s sister, Elyse who is 22 months old.

“She (Elyse) has a great story in that addition to Miranda who she is placed with, she has three other siblings that are places in two other adoptive homes,” Trivinia Barber said.

“Both of those families are really open to relationship so she gets to see all of her siblings and just really have a life-long relationship with them. It’s really important to us.”

The Barbers were influenced to adopt through their church which spotlighted the need for adoption of local children.

“I really wasn’t aware of how much need there really was for foster and adoptive kids just locally,” Chris Barber said.

The Barber’s church introduced the couple to Project 1.27, a local Christian foster care and adoption services program that helps to train and support foster and adoptive parents. The program has been connecting foster children with families for nearly 10 years after it was reported in Dec. 2004 that 875 children were legally available for adoption in the Colorado foster care system.

Christopher and Noel Mink, along with their children; Lexi, 6, and Jerimiah, 9, spoke about their experiences as being an adoptive family to a large crowd of eager parents and children

before their official courtroom appearance.

The Mink’s created the 10 B’s of Adoption to help adoptive families through the positive and often trying times of making a family whole.

“Jerimiah wrote No. 8, he said it’s OK to be happy and to be sad,” Noel Mink said. “He said being in a foster home is lonely but being adopted gives you people to play with. You might feel sad for other kids still in the foster home but you can be happy that you were adopted.”

“Yes, that is true.” Jerimiah said.

Empty bowls, full hearts Arvada schools join forces in fundraiser for food bank

By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com More than 30,000 people live hungry across the Front Range, but Arvada students are cooking up ways to help feed them — one bowl at a time.

The Arvada Empty Bowls project is a citywide effort to end hunger by raising funds for the Arvada Community Food Bank.

A collaboration with 11 of the city’s elementary, middle and high schools, the Empty Bowls fundraiser showcases students’ craftsmanship and dedication to helping an impoverished segment of their community.

“Knowing that just because you can’t tell someone’s hungry doesn’t mean they’re not,” said Ciara Pias, Arvada High’s art teacher.

Beginning in August, students at Arvada High School, Arvada K-8, North Arvada Middle, Fitzmorris, Foster, Hackberry Hill, Lawrence, Peck, Secrest, Swanson and Thomson elementary schools began learning about hunger and how it affects the community around them. During the lessons, the students apply their knowledge artistically, creating and decorating ce-

ramic bowls for the fundraiser.

“It’s a great way for kids to get involved with the community with art,” said Sarah Conner, Thomson Elementary’s art teacher. “What we’re doing goes towards impacting the community and serving a really great cause with art.”

During the fundraiser, community members can sift through tables of more than 700 wheel thrown and handmade ceramic bowls, each one available for a minimum $5 donation.

Once selected, attendees can bid on a variety of silent auction items and enjoy a chili or soup dinner and performances by participating schools’ bands and dance teams.

“Hunger is one of the most prominent things in the world today,” said Leighanne Gray, a senior at Arvada High. “Smaller community efforts are really important because as long as everyone is fed, then everyone is happier and more productive.

This is one of the necessities that needs to be done.”

According to Mallory Hyatt, the public information officer with the Jefferson County Human Services department, about 32,858 people applied for food assistance in 2013, a number that’s growing.

Annually, this event raises about $5,000 for the food bank — an amount the food bank can turn into more than $12,500 worth of food.

“With the timing of the event, being 20 days before Christmas,” Gray said. “It ensures that many people can have Christmas dinner and that the holidays can remain a time of celebration.”

Scouts bring adventure indoors Facility to feature climbing wall, archery range

By Clarke Reader

creader@colorado communitymedia.com Youth looking for a taste of outdoor adventuring without heading into the mountains need search no more.

The Denver Area Council of the Boy Scouts is opening Colorado Adventure Point in spring 2015 at its Hamilton Scout Headquarters, 10455 W. 6th Ave. The Colorado Adventure Point will feature a two-story rock climbing wall, archery and air rifle shooting range, STEM classrooms and handcraft spaces.

“We’ve been trying to get a community center for the Denver area for years,” said Dave Whitner, programs director with the Boy Scouts. “The tenants in our neighboring space moved out and the idea finally came to fruition.”

Pinkard Construction is constructing the project, based on a design by Venture Architecture. The space is 20,000 feet and costs around $1.5 million.

“The space will feature a lot of multi-purpose classrooms, as well as office and storage space,” said Hector Moreno, Pinkard project manager. “We have experience doing climbing walls at recreation centers but

the firing range is pretty unique.”

The rework will also feature enhanced outdoor facilities will include an urban camping environment and campfire meeting areas.

“For inner city kids going to a place without lights or anything can be a stretch,” Whitner said. “Having this space will allow us to make the transition easier with the spaces outside for overnight camping and cooking.”

The project will incorporate any LEED elements that are advantageous to the function, durability or success of the project.

Nicole Cosme, director of marketing for the Boy Scouts, said in addition to being a place where scouts can get their badges, but it will be open to the community, organizations and schools for a variety of uses. It can be rented for parties, meetings and classes.

“Opening this place is a big opportunity for community partnerships,” she said. “We have around 26,000 youths in our program and could have that same number from our Learning for Life (school program).”

Whitner said the location will serve as a home base for day trips and overnighters into the mountains, and will allow for equipment storage.

“We’ll be able to do the educational stuff, but we can have some fun with it,” he said.

“We have the spaces for STEM learning and then the archery range during a break.”

Immigration order spurs conflicting responses Obama’s decision has some Republicans up in arms

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ana Temu Vidrio’s stepfather woke up the morning of Nov. 20 in a good mood before leaving for work, the young woman said the following day.

On Nov. 20 President Barack Obama announced he would take steps to protect millions of undocumented immigrants like Vidrio’s stepfather from the threat of deportation.

“Yesterday, he couldn’t wait to get out the door and tell his co-workers this announcement was coming,” she said during a Denver press event where she was joined by dozens of other energized immigration-reform activists who praised Obama’s action.

“I love this president,” said one woman, speaking in broken English and pointing to an Obama sign that read, “Gracias Senor Presidente.” Others around her chanted, “Si, se puede!” — the Spanish translation of Obama’s famous “Yes we can” campaign rallying cry that dates back to Cesar Chavez.

The night before, Obama delivered on what he had been hinting at for months — that he would take executive action on certain areas of federal immigration policy, a response to Congress’ continuing failure to pass immigration reform.

Obama’s action adds more border resources and will make it easier for high-skilled workers, college graduates and entrepreneurs to stay in the country.

And a component of Obama’s actions will allow millions of undocumented immigrants to “come out of the shadows” and have the ability to stay in the country temporarily, without the threat of deportation.

During a nationally televised address, Obama said his actions will not apply to every immigrant living in the country, only to those who have lived here for at least five years and who have no criminal history, among other provisions.

The president said his actions will better allow agents to prioritize deportations, focusing on security threats rather than mothers and fathers who are here to work.

“Felons, not families. Criminals, not children. Gang members, not a mom who’s working hard to provide for her kids. We’ll prioritize, just like law enforcement does every day,” Obama said.

Obama said his action does not grant citizenship or the right to stay in the country permanently.

“All we’re saying is we’re not going to deport you,” he said.

The president said his action — which he described as within his legal authority — was a result of inaction on the part of Congress.

Congress has yet to send a comprehensive immigration reform measure to Obama’s desk. The Senate passed a bill last year, but it has yet to receive a vote on the House floor.

“And to those members of Congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better or question the wisdom of me acting where Congress has failed, I have one answer: Pass a bill,” Obama said.

GOP criticizes action

But Republicans said Obama’s action now makes it impossible for an immigration reform measure to get to his desk.

“President Obama wants a partisan political wedge issue, not meaningful, sensible, compassionate immigration reform,” said Republican Congressman Mike Coffman, who represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional District. “The president’s unilateral actions will make it harder for Congress to fix the im-

Ana Temu Vidrio speaks in support of President Obama’s recent executive action on immigration during a Nov. 21 rally inside Denver’s Justice for All Center. Photo by Vic Vela migration system, and the worst part is — that seems to be exactly his intention.”

State Republican Party Chairman Ryan Call blasted Obama’s “outrageous decision to do an end run around Congress.” Call said Obama’s moves are particularly audacious, considering how many Democrats suffered losses nationally during the recent midterm elections.

“President Obama is thumbing his nose at the American people, ignoring the clear message they sent just two weeks ago when they elected Republicans to control both chambers of Congress,” Call said.

Some Republicans stated Obama has exceeded his executive powers through his actions. But several other presidents, both Democrats and Republicans, have taken similar measures. They include Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, who also took executive action to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation.

In a speech in Las Vegas the day after his

announcement, Obama countered Republicans’ claim that his perceived overreach will make passing immigration reform more difficult.

“Why? I didn’t dissolve Parliament,” Obama said. “That’s not how the system works.”

Obama received praise from Democratic Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet, as well as from local House Democrats.

“In the face of legislative inaction, the president was forced to move the country forward,” said Congressman Ed Perlmutter, who represents the state’s 7th Congressional District.

Vidrio agrees. The young woman, who is a U.S. citizen and a college student, expressed the relief that will come to her stepfather as a result of Obama’s moves.

“I am very happy that my stepfather will no longer have to live in fear driving my brother to school or even the store or work because of the president’s announcement yesterday,” she said.

Cherry Hills event gets tip of PGA cap

Foothills Art Center hosts 40th holiday art market

By Clarke Reader

creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

T

his is the time of year when shoppers search high and low for the special gift for the loved ones in their lives.

The 40th annual Holiday Art Market at the Foothills Art Center is back to offer the creative works of more than 100 Colorado artists for shoppers looking for a gift with a personal, homemade touch.

The market, 809 15th St. in Golden, runs through Dec. 28. It is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free, though donations are accepted.

“There are 48 artists returning from our last market, so we have a lot of new artists” said Marcella Nordbeck, gift gallery manager. “Our first call for entry went out in July, so we’re basically thinking about it all year.”

The items on sale include ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry, paintings, woodworking, photography and holiday items.

Nordbeck said the set up for the market is a three week process that requires two dozen volunteers to get everything in its right place.

“We’re using paint on the walls as our key decoration element,” explained said Becky Guy, exhibitions coordinator.

“There are so many great spaces here but we also want to make sure we create some intimate places for displays.”

The market features thousands of unique handcrafted items, all displayed against the backdrop of the historic church that houses the main gallery spaces. Since the market has been running for so long the challenge is to make it unique every year.

“Every year it’s a fresh experience, especially since shoppers quite possibly can’t find these items anywhere else,” Nordbeck said. “We have things for every group — men, women and kids — and every price point.”

The art market is more than a shopping experience — this month several special events will be held at FAC. Children will have the opportunity to have their photos taken with Santa and enjoy a free hot cocoa bar and cookies before the Golden Candelight Walk on Friday, Dec. 5, 4-6 p.m.

There will be a free card creation station at the center 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Dec. 6 and a holiday sweater party and ornament creation demonstration with Stephanie Kuhne from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Dec. 13. The cost for the sweater party and ornament creation is $5.

Finally, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Dec. 20 there will be a gingerbread house construction event for $10, which will teach the tricks to making a perfect, edible creation.

These kinds of events have helped to make the market a key part of many holiday traditions.

“We have more than 200 applicants to the market this year and we jury the show because we want people to say ‘wow’ every year,” Guy said. “Last year we had more than 7,000 visitors who spend more than $100,000.”

For an unprecedented third year in a row, the BMW Championship was named the PGA Tour’s Tournament of the Year at the tour’s tournament meeting on Nov. 20 in La Quinta, California.

The award was one of three earned by the 2014 BMW Championship, which also won the “Best On-Site Staging” and “Best Advertising Campaign/Promotional Idea” awards for this year’s tournament at Cherry Hills Country Club.

Conducted by the Western Golf Association, the 2014 BMW Championship continued to raise awareness and support for the Evans Scholars Foundation, the WGA’s 84-year-old sister organization that has been sending caddies to college since 1930.

The penultimate event in the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the BMW Championship was one of the top-attended tournaments on the PGA Tour in 2014, attracting more than 125,000 spectators to Cherry Hills.

“On behalf of the PGA Tour, I am delighted to congratulate the BMW Championship for the special recognition it has received with these three awards,” said Andy Pazder, PGA Tour executive vice president and chief of operations. “The tournament staff should be extremely proud of its hard work and for being recognized as the PGA Tour Tournament of the Year for the third consecutive season.”

Benchmarks achieved by the BMW Championship in 2014 — in the areas of revenue growth, charity integration, event advertising, host club and community support, title sponsor integration and player and caddie hospitality — were all significant factors in the event being named Tournament of the Year, tour officials said.

Top Chef winner opens eatery

It’s been years in the making, but Hosea Rosenberg, the much-heralded “Top Chef” season five winner, finally opened Blackbelly Market, a restaurant and butcher shop in a nondescript strip mall in east Boulder (1606 Conestoga St. No. 3).

Focused on seasonal and fresh farmto-table offerings, the contemporary menu features Blackbelly Farms’ own livestock and locally sourced small-farm produce. There’s also an in-house butcher shop, crafted charcuterie program, and gourmet pantry sundries for sale at the small front-of-house market.

During the media party, we sampled specialty cocktails (including Pirate’s Apples made with Havana Club Rum, Leopold’s NY Apple Whiskey, lemon and hot cider), house-made charcuterie, a cheese plate, kobe beef hangar steak, a three-squash soup with apple bits and other assorted goodies.

Be mindful of healthful perspectives

By Ryann Nickerson

Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes at CU Anschutz As a host, cooking for a group can be a challenge, especially when some members have special dietary needs like diabetes. Around the holidays, it can be hard to stick to a healthy routine, but if you have diabetes, it is essential to make smart eating choices.

You can provide guests good options at your holiday gathering by using these tips from the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes in the School of Medicine at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus: Many adults with diabetes can drink alcohol and should follow the same guidelines as the general public: an average of up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men.

Provide sugar free mixes for drinks instead of high calorie mixers like regular soda, tonic, juice or margarita mix that are all packed with carbohydrate and sugar. Make a few changes to your favorite “classic” recipe: choose lowcalorie or baked (not fried) options. Provide a meal with a good mixture of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

Vegetables and squash make healthy and tasty side dishes. Watch the use of saturated fats, processed fats and simple sugars, which are unhealthy in general but are dangerous for people with diabetes. Go homemade.

Most store bought foods often have unpronounceable ingredients that should be avoided.

After the “big” meal, encourage everyone to take a 30 to 40 minute walk. Aerobic exercise is good for all of us, especially those with diabetes.

Everyone is different based on health-status and medications that are being taken, so there is no “right” meal.

But you can help your guests have a healthy, delicious holiday season.

In America, there are 24 million individuals living with diabetes, not including the 6 million who have diabetes but haven’t yet been diagnosed. Another 86 million Americans have pre-diabetes, a condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal but are not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes. And the incidence of the diabetes is increasing dramatically.

The Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes in the School of Medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus provides state-of the-art care to children and adults with type 1 diabetes and educates our patients how to prevent or delay complications. The Center supports substantial clinical and basic science research programs to prevent and ultimately cure this chronic life-threatening disease.

White Fence Farm changes hands

After 41 years of ownership by the Wilson family, Lakewood’s venerable White Fence Farm has changed hands.

The new owners, P&C Family Farm Restaurants, led by business partners and hospitality veterans Craig Caldwell and Tom Piercy, said they won’t change the family-friendly ambience nor chicken dinner menu.

“It took me a long time to find the right owner,” said Charlie Wilson, whose family converted their property along Jewell Avenue into the destination restaurant. “It takes a certain type of person with the know-how, experience and love of the community to become the proprietor

of our family legacy. We had numerous conversations, but it never felt right until I met Tom and Craig.

“Tom grew up with the original White Fence Farm in Joliet (Ill.). His childhood memories are similar to mine; he understands the joy, challenges and surprises. I never wanted this place to grow stale and old. I needed someone with enthusiasm and innovation, and these guys were perfect. And, the most important part, they aren’t going to change a thing, except for a few family photos on the wall.”

The 80-acre Wilson Farm was an original working hay and cattle farm. Today, it operates as a family enclave, and more than 5 million chicken dinners have been served since 1973.

Christkindl Market comes to Denver Downtown venue has roots in German culture

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com

Germany and Austria hold numerous beautiful Christkindl markets, a tradition dating back, at least, to 1310 in Munich.

At first, celebrations gathered around the churches, growing out of a farmers’ market and phasing into works by craftsmen and artists, as well as foods such as holiday breads.

Nutcrackers, cuckoo clocks, music boxes, tree ornaments, candied nuts and perhaps Gluwein will be found.

In Denver, a Christlkindl Market is again located at Skyline Park, along the 16th Street Mall. It opened with a ceremony on Nov. 22, where the 2014 Christkind, Sherbut sten Escholz, delivered the traditional prologue. She will appear throughout the market’s stay. n St. Nicholas will appear at the market on e; ver Dec. 5 and 6, before, during and after the eone Parade of Lights.

Stollen and other German pastries, carved wooden Nativity scenes, cuckoo g to wall.”clocks, German angels and other Christmas

Strategies in coping with grief during the holidays

St. By Ashley Reimers areimers y

Heartland Hospice in Westminster is offering free drop-in grief group sessions to the community the second Thursday of every month.

The session is 9-10 a.m. and on Dec. 11 at Heartland, 8774 Yates Drive No. 100.

During the session, Wilcox educates the group on what grief is, discusses the challenges people may face during the holiday season and offers coping strategies. Wilcox also touches on the physical effects and intellectual/cognitive effects of grief.

“There are many ways to cope with grief, but one suggestion I always give families is setting a place at the table for the person who’s passed away,” she said. “Then give each person an index card to write down a memory of that person. The memories can then be read

pped For some, the holidays aren’t always a jolly ted time, especially for those grieving the loss of a ter. loved one.

“As much as people look forward to the joy nto of the holiday season, for those who have exple perienced the death of a loved one, the holitie- days can become overwhelming with feelings of depression, uncertainty, sadness or anxiety,” said Donna Wilcox, a spiritual care and bereavement coordinator at Heartland Hospice. “These feelings can make getting through the holidays especially difficult.”

during dinner. You’ll laugh and cry, but it’s a chance to spend a moment remembering that person.”

Other coping tips include creating a memory box, focusing on others in need through volunteering, staying physically healthy by exercising, getting adequate sleep and being mindful of unnecessary triggers. Wilcox also suggests that when faced with holiday traditions, be mindful of things that can be handled and of what needs to be changed.

“Let others know of the changes you intend to make,” she said. “Do not pressure yourself to keep everything the same as previous years.

And let others know when you commit to attend an event you reserve the right to change your mind if the day arrives and you are not

up to going.”

For people unsure of attending the drop-in session, phone calls are welcome as well as individual sessions. Stacey Deitz, administrator at Heartland Hospice, said just a quick phone call can be a means of opening the door for people grieving.

“Once someone calls and becomes interested, he or she may end up feeling more comfortable setting up an individual time or stopping in at a session,” she said. “We just want to find a way to support people in whatever avenue they want us to support them in.”

Little help for those with ‘dual diagnoses’ Lack of help can hurt

Developmental disabilities, mental illnesses leave patients in cold

By Kristin Jones

I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS A raised red oval, a couple of inches in diameter, sits at the top of Alex Meredith’s forehead.

It is the physical mark of a besieged mind.

Meredith, who is 29, started bashing himself in the head when he was in his teens. Now, his parents can see it coming. A tranquil moment of drawing at the kitchen table cedes to Alex’s high-pitched squeal, his wrists colliding. Once he starts hitting himself, there’s nothing to do but freeze and wait for it to pass.

Meredith was diagnosed with autism when he was very young. Later, his parents were told he also displayed symptoms of mental illness — obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, psychosis and depression.

For Carol and John Meredith, Alex’s parents, the search for treatment has brought them to psychiatrists and psychologists, to mental health centers and the community-centered boards that serve people with autism and other developmental disabilities. Carol heads The Arc of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, an organization that advocates for people with disabilities, and has access to more than the usual range of leads and contacts.

Still, nobody seems to know exactly what to do with Alex.

The Merediths are not alone in their frustration, according to an ongoing study by JFK Partners, a program that does research on developmental disabilities at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. For people with the dual diagnoses of developmental disability — which can range from Down syndrome to autism to cerebral palsy — and mental illness, getting treatment means navigating a fragmented system, the study has found.

Funding quirks have created huge gaps in care. As a result, family members find themselves alone — and often isolated — in trying to manage complex problems that need professional support.

In the worst cases, the repercussions across society can be extreme.

In a recent interview with The New Yorker, the father of Newtown school killer Adam Lanza described trying and failing to find adequate treatment for his son, whose world slowly shrank to contain only his mother and his video games. Lanza was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, considered a mild form of autism, when he was 13. A psychiatrist at Yale’s Child Study Center later noted symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder as well, and his father now believes his autism may have masked schizophrenia.

“Asperger’s makes people unusual, but it doesn’t make people like this,” Peter Lanza told The New Yorker.

The number of Coloradans affected isn’t small. Nationally, around one in three people with a developmental disability also has a diagnosis of some form of mental illness, according to a frequently cited study by the National Association of State directors of Developmental Disabilities Services.

That would translate to around 35,000 people in the state with dual diagnoses, based on common estimates of the prevalence of developmental disabilities.

Many are left without adequate care, and some without any care at all. Expensive visits to the emergency room — which often provide little help except for short-term stabilization — have become a primary line of defense.

Advocates like Meredith are hoping that the latest statecommissioned study at CU will lead to a change in the way that people with complex developmental and mental-health diagnoses are treated. One option would be to model Colorado’s care after a program that began in New Hampshire and has since been adopted in other states, with the idea of providing crisis intervention and care coordinators for people who needed these services.

But any solutions remain a few years off at best, leaving families in this situation to seek each other out for ideas and support.

Holistic care urged

The current system in Colorado “divides people up into their different diagnoses,” says JFK Partners director Cordelia Robinson Rosenberg. “But care has to treat people holistically.”

Most people with both developmental disabilities and behavioral health conditions are covered by Medicaid. But in Colorado, the public insurance treats the two diagnostic categories under incompatible payment systems — the first as fee-forservice, and the second as managed care.

Carl Clark, who heads the Mental Health Center of Denver, says that while health-care providers often try to work together to treat people who fall into both categories, the divide in payment models is explicit.

“Our funding from the state (for Medicaid enrollees) says you do not use this for people with developmental disability,” Clark says.

As a result, mental health centers are often ill-equipped to offer some of the services — such as long-term housing support — that people with developmental disabilities need.

At the same time, the two funding models have left little room to develop specialists who are skilled in diagnosing and treating both developmental disabilities — which can include fetal alcohol syndrome, a notoriously hard thing to pinpoint — and complex mental illnesses. And even experienced psychiatrists may have trouble attributing behaviors to one diagnosis or another.

“Unfortunately,” says Clark, “the science does not divide the brain up as clearly as funding sources do.”

The complexity of who pays for what can have real impacts on treatment. Carol Meredith recently discovered that a psychologist who was having some success in treating her son hadn’t been paid since October.

Nobody — including the psychologist herself — could figure out who was responsible for paying her.

Alex Meredith, 29, draws as his mother, Carol, observes at the family home recently in Littleton. Meredith was diagnosed with autism when he was very young. He also displayed symptoms of mental illness — obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, psychosis and depression. Seeking treatment for these conditions means navigating a fragmented system with funding quirks and huge gaps in care. Photo by I-NEWS AT ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS Worse, research from the University of Colorado has found that a significant number of Coloradans are excluded from treatment entirely, Rosenberg says.

Medicaid establishes an IQ threshold for developmental disabilities, excluding people who surpass that bar but who still suffer from severe social or intellectual limitations.

Surveys conducted by JFK Partners found that for every one person who is receiving services for developmental disabilities under Medicaid, Rosenberg says, there’s another person who isn’t being served. That includes people who have unmet mental-health needs.

ER is often only option

Marijo Rymer, who heads The Arc of Colorado, says parents of children with dual diagnoses call her in frustration after failing to find any help for their children. Too frequently, the only option is the emergency room.

“When their children are hurting themselves, or hurting them, and they don’t know what to do,” says Rymer, “we will advise people to call 911.”

Doing so repeatedly can help build a case for the kind of sustained long-term services that people with dual diagnoses need.

But encounters with police and emergency rooms can cost patients, hospitals and taxpayers a huge amount of money. And ERs are geared toward crisis management — often the most disruptive way and least effective way to treat someone who needs consistent care.

Valerie Saiz and her husband Richard waited four days and four nights in an emergency room in 2010 — and again in 2011 — in an effort to get treatment for their now 16-year-old son.

Graham, who has autism and bipolar disorder, had been hitting himself violently. His parents took turns restraining him.

“We noticed that the other kids getting admitted to the ER, if they were aggressive to others, they’d restrain them,” said Saiz.

“If they were self-abusive, we’d have to do it ourselves.”

Each time he was admitted, Graham was discharged without a plan for treatment, says Saiz. The family was forced to craft their own solution, putting a helmet and mitts on Graham to protect him from himself, and sometimes locking him in his room to protect the rest of the family.

“If we’re locking Graham in his room for safety, I’m sure other people are. Other people just call 911 left and right. People have to do what they can to survive,” Saiz says. “But it shouldn’t be about survival.”

Learning letter sounds and listening An important reading readiness skill that gets less attention than reading out loud to children is letter sound identification.

Besides knowing the names of the letters in the alphabet (A,B,C), children need to know the sounds individual letters make such as B says “b”, like in bat, and H says “h”, like in home. Families can help reinforce skills at home by being aware and making little games at home, waiting, and traveling.

Letter sounds before names

The ability to hear separate letter sounds in a word is necessary for decoding (sounding out) when reading or spelling. Struggling readers often cannot hear all of the sounds in words, like when we say “cat”. Children may not distinguish the C as “k”, the A as “a” as in apple and the T as “t” as in tip.

Once children can hear the difference between sounds, they can pair the sounds with the visual letter.

This is a stepping-stone to early reading development in young children.

I Spy, I Hear

What else can families do to help children develop these readiness literacy skills? I Spy-I Hear is a game to

help develop critical listening skills in beginning readers.

Start by finding objects that begin with a sound you want to practice. Make a guessing game out of locating the object, a toy dog, for example. Give oral clues like, “I spy something that has the first sound, “d.” Youngsters might guess doll, donut, or dog. Praise them for each correct sound. “You are right, doll begins with “d.” Then have them name another object you both can see. “Yes, dog, dog begins with “d.” Repeat this with four or five

A journey in justice Book explores law enforcement settings for blacks “Justice While Black” by Robbin Shipp, Esq. and Nick Chiles 2014, Bolden $14 / $17.50 Canada 160 pages You have the right to remain silent.

But then, you already know that. You’ve seen it all your life on TV, read it in books, heard it in movies. It’s almost become a cliché.

You have the right to remain silent, but you also have the right to speak up – which is precisely one of the things you don’t want to do if you’re arrested. In “Justice While Black”

by Robbin Shipp, Esq. and Nick Chiles, you’ll learn why, among other things.

It is a sobering story — one in three young black men can expect to be jailed in his lifetime. The number of imprisoned African Americans is disproportionate to the number of jailed whites in this country. Everyone with dark skin knows about Driving While Black and Shopping While Black.

And, of course, there are the headlines.

The fact is that if you’re black – particularly if you’re a black male, Attorney Shipp says — you are vulnerable to being a potential suspect in a crime. It doesn’t matter who you are, who your father is, or even if you’re innocent: as soon as you’re put in the back of a police car, you’re probably going to jail.

If that happens, the first thing to remember is to go against human nature and shut up. Be polite, answer questions succinctly, but don’t try to talk yourself out of anything. It won’t work; it could make things worse.

Know your constitutional rights, laws of search and seizure, and other rules, and teach them to your children. Shipp says that the Nation of Islam has proven the propriety of this: rarely does she see Muslim clients, in or out of jail.

Know how to proceed when stopped while driving or walking. Learn to keep impulses in control when faced with arrest. Remember that the prison system is driven by economics. Don’t think that you can’t afford a private lawyer; talent doesn’t necessarily cost much.

Ask questions and accept advice, but think hard before accepting a plea deal.

And above all: never stop hoping.

Turn on the news, pick up the paper, and you know that everything’s changed – or has it? A basic history of African Americans, police, and prison is part of what you’ll find inside “Justice While Black.”

Like a gavel on a judge’s bench, author Robbin Shipp (with Nick Chiles) hammers home point after important point on each page, with information that will make you want to take notes (but you don’t have to; there’s a handy synopsis in the back). Her advice covers adults and children as young as four years old, male and female, and includes tips on minimizing trouble and finding the right attorney. I was astounded at this book (oh, those stats!) and at what can be learned in 160 short pages.

While Shipp adamantly states that this book doesn’t replace face-to-face counsel, I absolutely believe its $14 price tag is an invaluable beginning for your family’s protection. For you, “Justice While Black” could be the right book on your shelf.

other sounds. Beginning consonant letter sounds need to be recognized first.

Next, ask questions like, “What is the first sound you hear in ball? They should answer, “I hear “b.” If they answer the letter name instead, say, “Yes, that is the letter name.” Hold your hand to your ear and ask, “What sound do you hear?” When they understand, have children tell you another object that begins with the same sound. They should say, “Bat has the same first sound as ball.”

As they successfully progress try putting three objects together that begin with the same sound. Ask your children to say the first sound that begins all the objects. They might answer, “bat, ball and button all have the same first sound, “b.”

Try having two like sounds and one different. Can your children tell you which one does not start with the same sound (bat, ball, car)? Are they able to determine which one does not belong? If a child is strong at this, move on to separating sounds in words they can sound out like bat, cat, mat, or sat.

Make your decision and drop the doubt The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. A simple theory, and yet a much tougher application to manage sometimes.

Let’s think about a ski run rated “expert” — you know, something that may be really steep and richly covered in moguls. Now the expert skier may be able to take a straight line, going top to bottom as quickly and efficiently as possible. For the intermediate skier, the goal to get to the bottom is the same, but they have to take a more circuitous route. There will be more turns made for sure, and they will use more of the mountain as they traverse the slope.

At some point both skiers knew which direction they would be headed, and in some cases once they jumped on the chairlift there would be no turning back.

The expert has no issues because they can ski or snowboard just about any terrain. So it is with confidence that they take to any hill. However our intermediate folks may take the same chair ride up with a little trepidation, and that fear or nervousness may increase once they are looking over their tips and down at the steep grade and bumps below.

Doubt creeps in for sure.

Sometimes we all make decisions without looking at the big picture or complete situation. We have all at some point stood looking out over our tips at

said. “Then I realized that I was passing the new Westminster location like 20 times a day and my kids go to school close to the store too, and it hit me that I really wanted to serve my own community. And now my family can shop here too.”

Whole Foods Market in Westminster, at the southeast corner of Vrain Street and 120th Avenue, will open Dec. 9. The new store in the Bradburn Village subdivision is replacing the Whole Foods at 92nd Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard in Westminster. The 35,000 squarefoot store was built specifically for the Brad-

a precarious situation where we have already made the commitment or decision to do something knowing we were maybe too ambitious in our thinking or too aggressive in our belief that we could actually pull it off. And yet there we stand, looking at the project or opportunity and we are overcome with fear and doubt. And then we make it worse by letting our ego get in the way as we refuse to ask for help or let others assist us and maybe even come to our rescue.

It’s kind of like having ski patrol stop by while we are on the brink, offer us a safe ride down on a sled or snowmobile, and we refuse the help.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. But each situation will dictate whether we have the expertise to go from point A to point B as precisely and efficiently as possible, or whether we are still in our learning curve and it will take us a bit longer to accomplish the same goal. So although

burn and area community. It will offer a wide variety of products like fresh organic produce, meat and seafood cut fresh in house, smoked meats, hand cut cheeses, olive and pickle bars and bakery items.

“What we’ve learned from the community is that they are really into their open spaces and the trail network, so we incorporated that into the décor of the store,” said Charlotte Altimare, store team leader. “The goal always for Whole Foods décor is that if you picked up the store and put it somewhere else, you’d say that is doesn’t really fit. So for this store, the décor, which plays off of trails and the outdoors, is specific to this community and what they identify with.”

Another aspect the store is focused on specifically for the Westminster community is

the shortest distance between two points may be a straight line, the most effective path will be whichever path gets the job done safely, accurately, and on time.

When we can accept the level we are operating at in a given activity, event, or project, we will place ourselves in a much better position to minimize our doubts, fears, and biggest worries. And this is huge because I can tell you that most people stop pursuing their goals and dreams or give up on a path or a project because of doubt and fear. And quitting is just a shame.

Whether we are a beginner at something, average or intermediate, advanced, or an expert, we all face that moment of making a decision. We make decisions all day long both consciously and subconsciously, and it is when we are making a conscious decision to engage in something, anything, that we then follow up that decision with some form of direction. We see the road ahead and we embark on the journey and to minimize the fear, doubt and worry we need to evaluate our skill set, know how far we can stretch ourselves, and then know what resources and people are available to help. We need to know if we have the luxury of time on our side and if so, then we can traverse the project as slowly as necessary to achieve the de-

sired results, or if we are expert enough and confident in our ability, we can take the straight line.

Years ago I would ski just about anything, bumps, trees and steeps. And I would ski them full of doubt and fear sometimes because my ego wouldn’t let me figure out how to ask for help so I could get better. Then I was skiing with my good friend Dudley Ottley, who is a phenomenal skier, and as we were headed down Ripsaw over in Beaver Creek one day, he gave me a few pointers. After just a little bit of practice on those newly acquired techniques, my confidence soared and my fears were abated. And all I had to do was ask for a little help after I had made my decision to ski an expert trail and then committed to the direction or path that I would follow.

Have you made a decision to do something? Have you set your course or direction? And are you having any second thoughts or doubts now that you have made that commitment? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com and when we can ease or eliminate the doubts that creep in, it really will be a better than good week.

price conscious products. Altimare said with so many families living in the area, Whole Foods will offer bulk products and the 365 Everyday Value store brand, which features high quality products at competitive prices. The Westminster location will also be loaded with prep foods for easy pick-up during the lunch and dinner hours and offer a flex venue for restaurants and food trucks.

After the opening on Dec. 9, Westminster food truck Orange Crunch will set up shop for three weeks selling their Filipino-style empanadas to the public out of Whole Foods.

“One of the things the community is looking for is interesting food options, so through the flex venue, other local restaurants and food trucks can partner with us to provide something unique and interesting to the community,” Altimare said. “This flex venue is one of

the coolest things we are opening at the Westminster store and we’re really hoping to fulfill a food need by offering this venue.”

For people who can’t wait to get a glimpse inside the Westminster Whole Foods, sneak peek tours of the store are being offered between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Dec. 6. The guided tours will provide an informational journey through the store and will include samples and tastes from Colorado food artisans and products from the 365 Everyday Value store brand. The public is asked to sign up in advance at www.bradburntours.eventbrite.com and come hungry.

Whole Foods is the last remaining parcel of land available for retail or commercial development in the Bradburn Village. For more information on the store, visit facebook.com/ wholefoodsbradburn.

Title winner ready for new season Holy Family basketball back on the court

By Scott Stocker It’s going to be a whole new ballgame, so to speak, for the Holy Family boys basketball team. But, it’s going to be a season the Tigers, coached by Peter Villecco, are looking forward to.

Holy Family defeated Colorado Academy, 53-52, to win the Class 3A state championship and finish the 2013-2014 season with a 25-2 record. Colorado Academy ended the season 24-3.

Yet one might look at last year’s title as a step upward for Holy Family as this year the Tigers find themselves in a new classification and a new league. It’s now on to competition in the 4A, Tri Valley League. In the process, the Tigers will be joining Berthoud, Erie, Frederick, Mead, Roosevelt, Skyline and Windsor.

Holy Family moved quickly through the first three rounds of its state competition beating Sterling, 53-24, Centauri, 55-32, and Brush, 70-40. It was a bit tougher in the semifinals and final beating Colorado Springs Christian, 59-51, before taking on Colorado Academy.

“We’re excited and it’s going to be a new challenge for us, moving up to 4A and into a new league,” Villecco said. “We haven’t played any of these teams before and I think the boys are excited for the challenge.

We had a magnificent season last year with our special senior class.

“We played 40 games during this past summer going against players from a lot of larger schools,” Villecco continued. “Our kids feel that they belong here. We don’t talk about the pressure moving up, but it’s certainly a new beginning for us in a new classification.”

Villecco knows it was a magical season for Holy Family last season. It was the first state title for the Tigers since 1998 and he and his players feel the year was so special, something they will always remember and be proud of.

“Right now you might say we are on the bottom of the food chain,” Villecco said.

“It’s just going to be a new and exciting challenge. We return seven players from last year’s team, which includes three starters. And, we have a couple who were able to see a lot of action for us.”

The returning three starters are seniors Chris Helbig, Austin Brown and Luke Golter. To be sure, this trio is ready to go, but they also know it’s going to be a struggle.

“Yes, it’s going to be a challenge moving up,” Helbig said. “I think we’re going to have a good year following the success we had last year. We’re not pressured by being state champions as this is a new beginning, a new year and a new league. We just want to make the right moves out on the court.

We know what we are capable. I just want to work hard and be helpful to the team where ever I can.”

Brown is also anxious to get the regular season underway. After all, the players have been getting up in the morning for 6 a.m. practices this summer.

“Practice is a challenge,” Brown said.

HOLY FAMILY VARSITY BASKETBALL ROSTER Coach Peter Villecco Chris Helbig, Alex Comeaux, Andy Nelson, Luke Golter, Joe

Golter, Austin Brown, Matt Griggs, Nick Kruetzer, Cameron Miller, Collin Kuzik, Shelbee Wallace, Tanner Price, Zach Horning.

“But, it has been a fine challenge at that. We are a close knit team and I do think we still have a lot of potential.”

“I feel that I have to be among the leaders,” continued Brown. “We had a great senior class last year and we want to be successful following them. I just want to keep our team on track and to be an anchor.”

Golter knows it’s going to be a step up for the Tigers this season and he’s feeling good to be a part of the move.

“We’ve worked hard and it’s great to be a senior leader,” Golter said. “We’ve got guys with good experience, we’ve had a long preseason and we’re ready for some good games.”

“We have a lot of weapons with some great strengths,” said Golter, who will also be in the lineup with his younger brother, sophomore, Joe Golter. “I don’t know if we’re feeling the pressure as this is a move in a new direction for us and a new challenge. We just want to go out and prove ourselves in a new classification.”

Holy Family opens its season, Dec. 5, when the Tigers travel to Niwot to take on the Cougars.

Gators and Wildcats prep for hooptime

By Scott Stocker It’s going to be a new adventure for Standley Lake as the Gators have dropped into the Class 4A Jefferson County League. And, it will be a team with virtually a new look all the way around.

“We’re looking forward to competing in 4A after being in 5A,” said Standley Lake coach Mike Puccio. “But we have a new look, as well.

We only have one starter back, Connor Durant (6-2), and only three other returnees from last year’s varsity. We’re going to be very young.”

The other players with varsity experience are Rory Gishwiller, a 6-0, senior, Jeremy Minnick, a 6-1 senior, and Eric Turner, 5-10, junior.

Yet it is an overall group which Puccio hopes can be physical on the court and play hard.

“Other than those four, we will be looking new all the way around,” Puccio said. “Connor is a monster player for us and a super athlete.

He was just one of the best football players for us and now, a three-year starter in basketball.”

Puccio describes Minnick as a solid shooter and a solid guard. The team is also looking for good things from Gishwiller as he returns from an injury that cost him six weeks on the bench last season. He also feels Turner will be a dramatic player out at the other guard position.

“Rory had a solid summer, too, and is back to 100 percent,” Puccio said. “He’s reliable and

certainly welcomed back into the lineup. He is a solid talent and can score. Jeremy is also in for a great season and should also be solid at guard. He is such a fine shooter. Eric should be dramatic at the point.”

Puccio is looking forward to being in their new league and very optimistic about what his team can pull out.

“It’s going to be very interesting for us,” Puccio said. “It’s going to be interesting down in 4A. I’ve coached at Golden and Green Mountain before. Even though we have been a 4A size school for the past two years, we’ve been in 5A. We’re just going to have a new look with a young team.”

The Academy

It was a break even season for The Academy last season as the Wildcats of coach Ken Rutt finished with a 12-12 record. And, the number 12 should stand out, but for another reason.

“We have 12 good kids this season and we should improve vastly,” said Rutt, who begins is seventh season at the helm. “We have a solid group of leaders. The key is to build on our defense. We are excited about the season and we have the potential to challenge.

“We’ve been to state the last five years, but it’s time for us to take it steps higher,” Rutt said.

“And, that’s certainly the next step. We were third in district last year and at state, lost in the

first round to Faith Christian.”

Helping to lead the way for The Academy will be senior Devin Caswell (5-10), who was the leading scorer and rebounder last year for the Wildcats.

“Devin averaged 13-points and 6.5 rebounds,” Rutt said. “He’s a very fine athlete, quick, a good outside shooter and top rebounder. He was second team all-league last year and will now be a three-year starter for us.”

Leo Soto (5-10, Sr.), Angel Hernandez (6-0, Sr.), Alex Rodriquez (6-1, So.) and Rudy Basone (6-1, Jr.) are also held in high regards by their coach.

“Leo is powerful and strong and can work well inside and out,” Rutt said. “He just seems to be building a fine constant game all around.

Angel is certainly one of the fastest players on the team and just has a lot of quickness. He’s strong out front and we’re counting on his efforts to lead us there. Rudy has a good outside shot, too, and has been able to play strong inside.

“Alex was our sixth man on the team last year as a freshman,” continued Rutt. “He’s come a long ways and will be strong on the wing. He played last year like a much older player and we are looking for good things all around.”

Just a high school football coach?

That was the reputation that Dave Logan had even up until last week.

But after the Cherry Creek head coach led his team to a historic 25-24 5A championship victory Saturday over Valor Christian, Logan truly become an icon.

Logan didn’t only win his seventh Colorado state title with his fourth different team but he did it by knocking off a team that was a perfect 27-0 in state playoff games.

The former Wheat Ridge Farmer, who is known for being the radio voice of the Denver Broncos, is now equally known for being one of the greatest coaches in the history of Colorado sports.

Bill McCartney, Dan Reeves, George Karl, Sonny Lubick, Doug Moe, Eddie Crowder, Ceal Berry, Larry Brown, Dick Katte — even Mike Shanahan, all have resumes that are second to Logan’s.

Creating a brand and winning a couple titles at one school is special.

Winning championships at two different programs is even better. Leading three different institutions to state titles is unprecedented.

But leading four different programs to the promise land is truly unbelievable. And not only does make Logan a legend but it should make some people sick.

Particularly the “brass” that does the hiring at the University of Colorado, who had not one, not two, not even three but four opportunities to hire the alum Logan to rebuild its fledgling brand.

While CU is wrapping up another abysmal season (2-10) Logan continues to stay relevant and acquire championships as if they were the latest iPhone.

Colorado could have hired Logan in 1999 but instead choose Gary Barnett, who was fired after an ugly ending to his tenure.

Colorado could have then hired Logan in 2005 but instead selected Dan Hawkins, who was fired after having little to no success.

Colorado could have then hired Logan after stating that they wanted a “Colorado guy,” in 2009, but instead choose the absolutely wrong guy in John Embree.

And in 2013, Colorado again passed on Logan and hired Mike MacIntyre, who has won only six games in two seasons.

It is no surprise why the Buffaloes have been down for so long. But what is a surprise is that Colorado hasn’t begged Logan to come in and revive its program.

While Colorado is making history for all of the wrong reasons Logan is literally rewriting national high school football record books and with his seventh title arguably becomes the greatest high school coach of all time.

No other coach in the history of High school athletics nationally has won championships at four different programs at the highest classification level.

While Mullen is feeling and looking foolish for letting Logan go over a power struggle, which he clearly should have won three years ago, at least Mullen got four state titles out of him.

What is the University of Colorado’s excuse?

Top performers in on the court

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jeffco volleyball did not have a team that made a deep playoff run yet the fierce competition within both 4A and 5A Jeffco kept the chase for a conference title interesting.

Despite not having a team that competed for a state champion Jeffco has some of the state’s best volleyball talent within its two conferences. That made it easy for us to select the annual All-Colorado Community Media Team: Aly Pena (Alameda); Pena was one of a couple senior leaders for Alameda but we selected her because of her consistency over the course of the season and for several big time games she said.

Kassie Ingenthrone (Arvada); The senior stood out despite playing one a team that finished at the bottom of the league standings.

A team leader, Ingenthrone will definitely be missed next season.

Makaila Paxton (Arvada West); The junior is one of the most fun players in all of Jeffco to watch, mainly because of her ferocious kill shots. She also had a huge stat line this season that consisted of 135 kills to only 69 attack errors.

Jozy Carlacci-King (Bear Creek); An alltime Bears’ volleyball player, Carlacci-King had a huge year for a good Bear Creek team. She finished with the season with 227 kill shots and 35 blocks.

Jace Kleffner (D’Evelyn); The senior helped keep D’Evelyn in the mix for a league title all

season with her huge statistical output: 224 attack kills, 122 digs and 28 blocks.

Kathleen Kasel (Golden); The senior was just one of a few different Golden players we considered, but Kasel was selected because of her senior leadership and consistency. She also produced 23 blocks and 18 aces this season.

Danielle Potter (Green Mountain); There are few players over the years that have played volleyball in Jeffco at as high of a level as the senior. Potter was a juggernaut, recording 317 attack kills, 30 blocks and 25 aces.

Raegen Jackson (Lakewood); The senior leader had a big time season for the Tigers generating 167 kills and 18 aces. One of the great Lakewood team leaders, she will be missed.

Julia Baskin (Pomona); One of the easiest choices for our honor, the junior was one of the biggest producers in all of Jeffco. She finished with 299 kills and 35 blocks.

Simone Gibeau (Ralston Valley); One of the best volleyball players in Mustangs’ history, Gibeau was spectacular this season converting 223 kills while leading her team to a league title.

Alexandria Williams-Daugherty (Ralston Valley); Routinely punishing defenders with big time kill shots (215 this season), she also was one of the toughest servers in Jeffco recording 34 aces.

Nina Thomas (Wheat Ridge); The senior continuously delivered for her teammates and by season’s end she produced giant numbers including 184 kills and 25 aces. The Farmers will miss her next season.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF DEC 1, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) There could be an unexpected change in plans for your upcoming holiday travels. But keep in mind that a little flexibility goes a long way in resolving any disappointments.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A new relationship might not be responding quite as quickly as you’d hoped. Could you be expecting too much too soon?

Try to ease up and let things happen at their own pace.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) As we approach the frenetic pace of pre-holiday planning, take time out now to reconnect with the wonderful people who share your life, especially the one who also shares your dreams.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A misunderstanding should be resolved before you get caught up in the flurry of holiday preparations. Set your pride aside and deal with it, regardless of who might have hurt whom first.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Being told that a colleague might have been trying to undercut your effectiveness might or might not be true. Get all the facts before you even think about acting on this so-called information.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) It’s a good idea to start your holiday preparation plans early in order to avoid a time crunch if an unresolved workplace situation causes a problem. That old friend might have some welcome news.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A family member’s actions continue to surprise you, but this time with positive results. Could be your wise counsel finally got through. It’s like having an early holiday gift, isn’t it?

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Your reluctance to act in a current situation could be traced to your inner self advising you to take more time to study its complexities before you attempt to deal with it. Good luck.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Soothing hurt feelings before they can ignite an angry outburst is the wise thing to do. And, of course, when it comes to doing the “wisdom thing,” you do it so well.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Budget your time so that you can handle both your workplace duties and your personal holiday planning -- including travel arrangements -- without burning out on either end.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) You might find that you still need to firm up one or two of those stilloutstanding decisions so that you finally can move forward as you had planned. Weigh the facts, then act.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) You usually don’t carry grudges, but you might feel this is one time when you’re justified in doing so. But aren’t you spending too much energy holding onto it? Let it go and move on.

The City Council finds: a. The Westminster Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”) has requested that the City rezone the property described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Property”) from Planned Unit Development (PUD) to Specific Plan District (SPD) in order to facilitate the redevelopment of this approximately 108 acre site pursuant to the Westminster Center Urban Reinvestment Plan. b. WEDA is the owner of a substantial majority of the Property. All of the Property is included in the Westminster Center Urban Reinvestment Plan that has been previously approved by the City Council. c. C.R.S. § 31-25-112 of the Colorado Urban Renewal Law specifically authorizes the City to cooperate with the Authority in connection with the planning and undertaking of the Authority’s plans and projects, including assistance in the form of planning and zoning property proposed for redevelopment by the Authority. d. W.M.C. § 11-5-3 (B) authorizes the City to initiate a rezoning of any property in the City without the consent of the property owner when the City Council determines that the current zoning is inconsistent with one or more of the goals or objectives of the City’s comprehensive land use plan, or that surrounding development is or may be adversely impacted by the current zoning. e. The Property has been previously designated as a Focus Area in the Comprehensive Plan. As a designated Focus Area, the Comprehensive Plan and W.M.C. § 11-4-7.5 require the adoption of SPD zoning and a Specific Plan for the Property. Therefore, the current PDP zoning is inconsistent with the designation of the property as a Focus Area pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan. f. The notice requirements of W.M.C. § 11-5-13 have been met. g. The proposed rezoning has been referred to the Planning Commission, which body held a public hearing thereon on October 28, 2014, and has recommended

The notice requirements of W.M.C. § 11-5-13 have been met. g. The proposed rezoning has been referred to the Planning Commission, which body held a public hearing thereon on October 28, 2014, and has recommended approval of the request. h. Council has completed a public hearing on the proposed rezoning pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 5 of Title XI of the Westminster Municipal Code and has considered the criteria in W.M.C. § 11-5-3 and § 11-5-14. i. Based on the evidence produced at the public hearing, City Council finds: (A) The current zoning of the Property is inconsistent with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

(B) The proposed SPD zoning complies with all requirements of the Westminster Municipal Code, including the provisions of W.M.C. § 11-5-3 and W.M.C. § 11-47.5.

(C) The rezoning of the property to SPD will further the redevelopment goals and objectives of the City and the Authority as set forth in the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the Westminster Center Urban Reinvestment Plan.
