Arvada site on mission to collect oral history By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com The Rocky Flats Cold War Museum has a new location, new name and a new mission. Now operating under the name of the Rocky Flats Institute and Museum, it is now located in the Jehn Center at 5690 Webster St. in Olde Town Arvada. According to Connie Bogaard, the museum’s executive director, the move is a temporary one to help save money for a building of their own, which can be dedicated to exhibits and preserving the history of the Rocky Flats plant. The museum is preparing to launch a capital campaign to raise money for a permanent site for the museum. The initial campaign will be for $2.5 million, and Bogaard said the museum has created a new website that makes donating easier, has created more fundraising options — including a mobile exhibit that could visit places like the Arvada Center and History Colorado Center — and partnerships to help raise money. “We will continue with our temporary exhibits here, and will keep working to collect oral histories from people who used to work at Rocky Flats,” Bogaard said. “That’s really the most important thing we’re trying to do here, because every story is unique and contribute’s to Rocky Flat’s history.” The museum’s new mission — which is reflected in the name change — is to make the museum a place where people can come to put the work done at Rocky Flats, and the Cold War, in the proper global context, and discuss the modern nuclear situation. “We want to be able to engage in conversations about what it meant to live by Rocky Flats, the ideas proposed for the land and the toll road that would go nearby,” Bogaard said. “The plant is gone, but the issues around it are not.”
Left to right, Ken Freiberg, Jack Weaver and Gene McCracken, are all former Rocky Flats employees who have been helping the museum prepare its latest exhibit on workers’ lives during the 1950s, as well as advising on the museum as a whole. While the capital campaign is launched, Bogaard is already planning the next exhibits for the museum. The newest will open in October, and will focus on the workers at Rocky Flats in the 1950s. Helping out with the exhibit — and the museum as a whole — are former Rocky Flats employees Ken Freiberg, Jack Weaver and Gene McCracken, who meet every Wednesday at the museum. “We want to help educated older people and younger people, especially the younger people, many of whom have not even heard of Rocky Flats,” Freiberg said. “We want to try to tell both sides, but
that can be difficult.” Freiberg added that people who worked at Rocky Flats help nearby cities, from Arvada to Westminster and Louisville, grow. McCracken said it’s important that people should not forget the Cold War, what it meant and how it changed the lives for countless people the world over. “There were a lot of misconceptions about the plant, how it was and what we did there,” Weaver said. “We’re now able to tell people about some of that, show what we and others did, and why they did it.” For more information on the museum, visit www.rockyflatsmuseum.org.
The Austin Sigg trial may or may not end up in Jefferson County. During the Aug. 29 motions hearing, Judge Stephen Munsinger ruled that he will make his decision whether or not to grant a change of venue to the defense during the jury selection process, which begins on Sept. 20. “I don’t know if we can seat a fair and impartial jury. I won’t know that until the jurors get here,” Munsinger said. “I want to acknowledge the defense for their efforts in keeping information out of the public domain.” Munsinger’s decision came after a long testimony from Paul Talmey with Sigg Talmey-Drake Research and Strategy Inc. who conducted a survey of potential jurors. Talmey and a team of trained interviewers conducted 707 phone interviews throughout Colorado, with 303 of them done in Jefferson County, 203 of them done in the metro area and 201 of them done outside of the metro area. Those surveyed were asked over 20 questions, beginning with screener questions followed by questions regarding the abduction and murder of Jessica Ridgeway and the Sigg case. Talmey testified that his findings from the survey showed a high use of social media, like Facebook and Twitter, as a means of information gained on the case by those interviewed. “There’s a difference between getting information through a passive form and an active form and in terms of this case people are activity involved with the case,” Talmey said. “Whether it’s through email or making comments on Facebook or Twitter, people aren’t just acknowledging the case, they are involved.” Talmey said according to his findings, those interviewed in Jefferson County had a “very high awareness of the crime” and that the crime “rang a bell with people.” He said the recognition of the crime from people surveyed was much higher in Jefferson County than it was outside the county. He suggested to the judge to change the venue of the trial. “I’d say it will be hard to seat an impartial and fair jury in Jefferson County and the metro area,” Talmey said. “There are too many people with too much information.” Also during the hearing, Munsinger accepted University of Colorado at Boulder Psychologist Dr. Marie Banich as an expert witness for the defense for the upcoming trial. She took the stand during the hearing and discussed her lengthy background and experience in child and adolescent brain development. During the trial she will not be discussing Sigg’s personal brain development nor will she review any reports on Sigg. She will only testify as an expert teaching witness to educate the jury on child and adolescent brain development. Sigg’s trial is set to begin on Oct. 3 with opening arguments. If convicted, he faces life in prison with a possibility of parole after 40 years. He faces 17 charges, including murder and sexual assault. He is charged with abducting and murdering 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway last October.

Display puts hunger in the picture The 22 8-by-10-inch photographs are simply set in a display case in the airy lobby of the Denver Public Library’s central branch. On an early Saturday afternoon, men and women, old and young, stroll by on the marble floors. A few glance at the images — portrayals of lives lived with hunger — but so far today no one stops. Most never see the stories just beyond the glass, much the way many never see the hunger hidden among us every day. “It’s something I hear a lot since I’ve been talking to people about poverty — `You’re not the average homeless person; you’re not the average hungry person,’” says Caroline Pooler, 53, who came to know hunger and homelessness after losing her job two years ago. Three of the photographs in the case are hers. “There really is no average hungry or homeless person. They can be someone who’s working full-time and they’re not going to get lunch that day because they have to give lunch to their kids.” Caroline and nine other women are participating in Hunger Through My Lens, an innovative project by the advocacy organization Hunger Free Colorado that gave them digital cameras to document how they see a world without consistent and healthy sustenance. The goal is simple, project manager Lauren Flax says: Give the experts, those who know what it’s like to be hungry, a platform to voice their opinions and help shape answers to what should be a solvable issue. “We really believe there is a solution to ending hunger,” Flax says. “Just as there are many solutions, there needs to be multiple people coming up with them. Who better than the hungry?” The women are a diverse group. They are Latino, African-American and white, ranging in age from 22 to late 60s. They are mothers and grandmothers in Jefferson and Adams counties, Denver and Aurora. Some have lived in systemic poverty since they were children. Some live an “average, normal, middle-class life but they go to bed hungry every night, hiding it even from
their church groups,” Flax says. Some have made bad choices, either through lack of education, access to resources or circumstances. But all share the common denominator of having experienced the isolating and desperate hunger that comes when you don’t know how or when you’ll have your next meal. Through their photographs, they hope to provide a glimpse for others — perhaps a dawning understanding — into that world. “It’s a way to put faces to statistics,” Flax says. “It’s easy to forget a number. It’s a lot harder to forget a face or a story.” First, the statistics, compiled from various federal and state reports: • One in six Americans in the U.S., and nearly one in four children, are food-insecure. • More than 25 percent of working families in Colorado don’t have enough food to meet basic needs. • An estimated 270,000 children in Colorado, or 22 percent of all children, live in food-insecure households. • Colorado has the fastest-growing rate of childhood poverty in the country. The numbers are astonishing. And here are Caroline’s stories, told in her photographs, which she titled: • “Reverse Disparity,” a photograph of two banana clumps. One is full, fresh and smooth yellow, selling for 59 cents a pound in a grocery store in an affluent neighborhood. The other is in a smaller, privately owned grocery 30 blocks away in a neighborhood considered a “food desert” be-

cause it has no large supermarkets offering healthy options within a mile. These three bananas are slightly bruised, for sale at 89 cents a pound. “I’m certainly not faulting that grocer,” Caroline says. “We need that grocer in that area.” But lower quality food for higher prices is the reality. • “Farming for Food Sustenance for the Heart.” A close-up of an orange nasturtium, taken in an urban garden in which Caroline was working. “I really did find that while I was on my hands and knees trying to feed myself, people in suits and briefcases were looking in and wishing that was them. I am the lucky one in so many ways,” she says, “pulling my food from the ground.” • “Ancestral Meals.” A photo of a Cambodian family’s ceremonial meal, spread out in bowls and prepared in honor of ancestors for a holiday. “It’s an inside look at the diversity of the culture here in Denver and Colorado and how those cultural food needs must be met as well,” Caroline says. Although Caroline began struggling when she lost her job working in a medical research office, she initially resisted applying for food stamps, turning instead to urban gardening as a way to feed herself. She took the bottle cap- and cigarettestrewn lot of a friend and began tilling and planting the soil until it flowered into an organic garden in which she harvests tomatoes for a nearby bodega, and lettuce, squash, eggplants and green beans for herself. A nonprofit restaurant, which operates on donations, uses her produce to cook her lunch. Local food banks also helped. But last November, one turned her and others away when it ran out of food. The memory still brings tears. “I just walked down the street and cried, more so for the thought of the moms that were turned away.” Shortly after that, she applied for food stamps. And “it has been a blessing to go to the grocery store and really meet my
nutritional needs.” An artist also, she considers her work with Hunger Free Colorado among her most important. The organization offers training on how to advocate for hunger issues before local governments and agencies to those who, like Caroline, want their voices to be heard and want to make a lasting difference for others in their shoes. In October, Caroline starts a school program she hopes will lead to a job that can provide her with the stability to provide not only for herself, but also for her 24-year-old son, who despite his job still finds himself hungry at times. “I would like to buy groceries every two weeks and take them over to his house,” she says — just the way she used to. Back at the exhibit at the library, a woman glances at the photographs as she walks by. She slows down, and backtracks for a closer look. The photo of a hand-scrawled sign — “Will Work 4 Food” — caught her attention. “It just made me want to look,” Susan Wolinsky, 71, a retired lawyer, says. “I just think it’s pretty sad that in this country people don’t have enough to eat … People who have full stomachs have a better chance of being productive citizens and of helping others.” She was surprised to find out she was one of only two passersby in an hour who had studied the exhibit, which will travel to four Adams County libraries, the 16th Street Mall in Denver and Hunger Free Colorado’s Oct. 1 Hunger Summit. “It’s too bad,” Wolinsky says, “that some of the photographs aren’t on billboards towering over the city so that people have no choice but to look at them.” Indeed. That would put big faces on the big numbers that are hunger in Colorado. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

session. “It’s not a matter of this being something that was statuatorial. This was citizen-driven and put into the (state) Constitution. How do you not respect that?” The AG’s Office memo reiterates that “the federal government has traditionally relied on states and local law enforcement agencies to address marijuana activity through enforcement of their own narcotics laws.” The memo also says that the federal government has left “lower-level or localized (marijuana) activity to state and local authorities (to deal with).” But the guidance from the justice department makes it clear that federal prosecutors will continue to make marijuana enforcement determinations, depending on the seriousness of the case. The department laid out eight “enforcement priorities” where the feds will continue to devote resources, “regardless of state law.” They include cases where drug moneys go to gangs or cartels and cases involving drug trafficking. The feds also make it clear that they do not want marijuana being distributed to minors. The guidance memo says it’s up to the states that legalize the drug to ensure that there are strong enforcement laws. “The Department’s guidance in this memorandum rests on its expectation

SAU Crunch time at hand for2x2Morse, Giron By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com The term “the third rail of American politics” has long been associated with talk about cutting Social Security — a charged issue that could lead to severe consequences for any elected official who dares to touch it. But soon, a couple of Colorado Democrats could end up learning the hard way about another “third rail” issue, as they face recall elections over their votes on gun legislation that was passed this year. The stakes couldn’t be higher for John Morse of Colorado Springs, who is the Senate president, and state Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo. And their potential ousters could have lasting ramifications in the state and across the nation. “The message could be that it is just political poison to support any form of gun control, no matter how reasonable it may look to people,” said Bob Loevy, a political scientist at Colorado College. “If either is eliminated, the message is going to be: No matter how big or politically strong you are, you can be knocked out over gun issues,” Loevy said. Morse and Giron are the first lawmakers to face a recall in Colorado. Their district-only elections are scheduled for Sept. 10. Both supported legislation that requires universal background checks

Saving Jeffco’s forest health By Amy Woodward
awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com Jeffco residents can anticipate a new slash disposal initiative presented by county commissioner Don Rosier, and contrived by Indian Hills resident, Bret Roller. The Forest Health Initiative in partnership with the Denver Botanical Gardens at Chatfield could create a countywide sustainable solution for greenwaste and slash collection, processing and biomass composting. There are still many steps that need to be taken to get the initiative through, but commissioner Rosier said Jeffco residents could see 40 slash collection sites by the summer of 2014. “Jeffco never had a comprehensive plan,” Roller said, who has worked in various forestry industries and holds
a degree in natural resource management. “They’ve taken steps in the right direction, but it hasn’t been enough,” Roller said. The initiative proposes 40 yearround collection sites where slash will be processed. The processed material will then be hauled down to the botanical gardens site at Chatfield on a 4 acres parcel of land, where it will be laid into wind rows. As it stands, Jeffco residents take their slash to one of three temporary sites once a year and the county contracts with an outside vendor to haul the material away in two days’ time. “It creates a real pressure on Jeffco residents,” Roller said. Compost collected will provide Jeffco residents an opportunity to purchase the soil; it could also provide a fundraising opportunity for local fire districts. Jeffco residents could pur-
chase a $20 coupon from their local fire district which will give a date and time for their drop-off. The fire district will receive $10 from the coupon to go towards their department. “I don’t know if this is possible, but this is the idea,” said county commissioner Rosier, who stated he still needs input from the county attorney. Rosier has looked into grant opportunities to help fund the initiative which needs equipment such as grinders, tractors and dump trucks with a cost of a half million dollars. “Currently there are grant opportunities at the department of natural resources for equipment to do exactly what is proposed,” Rosier said. “Slash disposal is sort of near and dear to my heart,” Roller said. “It’s an opportunity to do the objectives of thinning the forest, making the forest healthier, and keeping Jeffco residents safe from forest fire and getting compost back into the ground.”

Senior peer counseling throws residents a lifeline Volunteers work with seniors who are lonely, frail By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com Jefferson Center for Mental Health is offering people interested in helping seniors a chance to join the Senior Peer Counselor program. The program has been offered by the center for several years, but has really ramped up in popularity in the past couple years. “This is a great opportunity for people who want to give back to the community, but may not be sure the best way to,” said Liz Smith, program director with the Jefferson Center. “When we first started the program we wanted our volunteers to be older adults, but we’ve found there are benefits to having young people participate as well.” Volunteers do not need any experience, other than a desire to help. Training to be a counselor will be on
Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to noon, from Tuesday, Sept. 17, through Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 7878 N. Wadsworth Blvd., in Arvada. “The training helps people understand a lot of different areas, and what many of these seniors may be going through. There is a mental health 10 portion and information on self-care, anxiety and depression,” Smith said. “Participants also learn about healthy aging and confidentiality.” The training is on-going once participants pass, Smith added, so counselors will always have someone available to help and guide them if needed. Once they are trained, counselors works with seniors who are frail, isolated and often times have difficulty getting out of the house. “For some of these people, socializing is really difficult, so our counselors give them a kind of lifeline, so they’re not on their own,” Smith said. “They give the seniors emotional support and sometimes do what we call live reviews, which is a structured talk about their lives, and the counselors
help the seniors work to resolve old resentments and conflicts.” Mariane Neff, senior peer counselor, said she became interested due to her background of helping people. “After I retired, I still felt like I had something to offer people, and I’m still active with the program, and still enjoy it,” she said. Neff said that most of the seniors she has worked with have been at their homes, but in some cases she works to get them out of the house a little more. “Doing this you really feel like you’re doing something useful,” Neff said. “It’s great to see someone move forward and get better.” Smith said that seniors in the community should know this program is available for people who need help, and people interested in helping should know there is a chance for them to do some good for older people.

opinions / yours and ours
‘Twerked’ by rewarding bad behavior One of the great “takeaways” I got from a brief study of “Parenting With Love and Logic” a few years ago was the idea that behaviors that get reinforced get repeated. I’ve been thinking about that a lot over the past week. Consider a recent Denver-area tragedy: the 6-game suspension of Broncos’ linebacker Von Miller. One thing I heard in the days after that was that, according to union rules, the only way for that to be a possible penalty would be if this were Miller’s third offense. So a phenomenally talented player has already, by the time he’s 24, had three drug “events,” including one that happened after he knew he was going to be tested every three days. This young man was drafted second overall, and handed $21 million, even though there was likely a drug event around that time. He became one of the most dominant players in the NFL and earned fame and adulation, also while, apparently, enjoying his drug issues. So exactly where in this
whole scheme is there incentive for him to change? Sure, the six-game suspension is going to hit him in the wallet, but all will be forgiven the first time he rides an opposing quarterback to the turf. Act, reinforce, repeat. Then consider the odd phenomenon of Kim Kardashian. I have yet to figure out exactly what talents this young lady possesses, what barriers she has busted through or what accomplishments she has racked up. And yet, there she is, staring back at me
from the covers of five different magazines in the checkout aisle, and all because her very public life is a bit of a train wreck. Of course, we’re talking about someone who vaulted to fame because of a sex tape and has remained in the public eye thanks to the phenomenon of “reality” TV, which, in the best traditions of Jerry Springer, encourages and rewards people for engaging in the most outrageous sociopathic behavior in front of cameras. We, the public, are the reinforcing mechanism. So, consider how you would view the world if during your formative years your every word was greeted with a laugh track, you had instant fame without any accomplishments, and your slightly-above-average musical skills were the headline act of sold out concert tours all over the world. Why, it’s just possible that you might think that the normal boundaries of decent behavior not only don’t apply to you, but don’t exist at all! Miley Cyrus’ antics at the Video Music Awards are not the result of lax parenting,
or exploitation by a media empire, though those both certainly contributed. No, I think, as easy as it is to blame Dad and Disney, I think we really should be looking in the mirror. Disney did not create Miley Cyrus — parents buying her albums and concert tickets for their kids, normal folks like us letting our young girls buy her style and watch her show, created this Miley Cyrus. In effect, we are all Billy Ray Cyrus. And this sort of celebrity worship has consequences. I mean, seriously, if we don’t get this under control, next thing you know we’re going to elect a President with no military or foreign policy experience, no executive experience, and no legislative achievements, all because he or she has a pleasant oratorical style. Oh, wait ... Michael Alcorn is a music teacher and fitness instructor who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. He graduated from Alameda High School and the University of Colorado-Boulder.

My friends Tony and Catherine decided a few years ago that they wanted to marry themselves ... not just each other. Tony and Catherine entered into legal wedlock, without clergy or judicial presence, by conducting the ceremony themselves, which is also known as a self-uniting marriage, where the couple are married without a third-party officiant. Colorado law allows such couples to perform their own marriages. The two simply indicate this on the marriage certificate, and sign where the clergy or judicial officer would, and then sign again as “bride” and “groom.” Witnesses aren’t even necessary either, but the newlyweds do need to return the marriage certificate for recording no later than 63 days from the date of solemnization. Tony and Catherine first obtained a marriage license at the Division of Motor Vehicles, and then wrote and exchanged their own vows in the presence of family and friends, which constituted their entire selfuniting ceremony. Another couple who are friends of mine had a Hindu ceremony some months later — which they considered to be spiritual rather than religious — to allow others to celebrate with them after they had legally self-solemnized their marriage. However, self-marriage participants don’t need any kind of ceremony at all — no judge, no clergy, no justice of the peace. They can sign the marriage certificate right in the building where they got their license and file it immediately with the clerk and recorder. I’m intrigued with this concept of a selfuniting marriage, and why it makes such a profound statement. For example, for a couple to write their own vows is nice, but not unique to self-marriage. And it’s not just the novelty of having a simple ceremony like Tony’s and Catherine’s; with costs spiraling out of the realm of reality, and the increasing stress of planning a big wedding these days, many couples are scaling back. Even celebrities are eloping.
Tony and Catherine chose self-marriage because they wanted their union to be civil instead of religious, and with as little judicial involvement as possible. As Tony says, though, they had to involve the government because they filed their signed marriage certificate with the state. And, of course, the “legal” part of “legally married” includes, at a minimum, the oversight of the judicial system for the benefit and protection of all parties. This entrance of the state also occurs after a religious ceremony, too, and self-uniting marriages need not be secular, by any means. But I like that the state comes in after the fact, recognizing what the two people in the marriage have already made happen. Colorado is one of only two or three states that recognize a self-solemnized ceremony. This doesn’t mean the marriage is not valid in other states, although insurance companies and such might require a certified copy of the marriage certificate. But what I find particularly moving about two people such as Catherine and Tony who choose to enter a self-uniting marriage is that they are establishing — confirming, really — that the path they are about to travel is truly in their hands. Do you think that assuming the responsibility for your own union is a good way to declare your intentions for a life together? I do.

Education at the water’s edge Programs at Standley Lake expand, offer educational opportunities for young and old By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ourcoloradonews.com Editor’s Note: This is the third story of a three-part series highlighting the educational programming at Standley Lake Regional Park in Westminster. The first story focused on the history and the second story focused on recreation. Whether it’s learning about bald eagles or the importance of snake awareness, there are a variety of educational opportunities at Standley Lake. This summer alone featured many free programs for children and adults offering the public a glimpse into the history, nature and joys of the Westminster park. As an urban park, Standley Lake is a place where people in the city can leave the traffic and street lights behind, and enter into a world of nature without having to drive miles and miles to get there. Taking advantage of the close proximity to the city, Holly Walters, senior ranger at the park, said it’s a great opportunity for park staff to educate the community on the outdoors. She said one of the goals of the programs is to help people be aware of what’s at the park and help take out any fear a person may have about the outdoors. “Here at Standley lake, we really enjoy the interaction with the public and we enjoy teaching them about what the park offers so that they can come back on their own and enjoy themselves,” she said. “Especially for children, we believe it’s important to teach them about nature so they catch the bug early on. Plus it gets them away from the television and the video games.” Peggy Boccard, recreation services manager for the city, said the education programs were quite popular this summer and were well-attended. Some of the programs included: Discovering Bald eagles, which gave people an “up-close” look at the resident eagles of the park, the Edible Forage Walk, which gave people a guided tutorial on wild edibles in the park and the Birds of Standley Lake, which taught people about the large vari-

ety of bird species in the park. The snake awareness program, which taught about the different species of the snakes in the park and in Colorado, was a big hit with 48 attendees. “We want to offer different types of activities and programs so that many people can come out and enjoy the park through our
educational opportunities,” Boccard said. “This year we worked hard to expand the
programs at the park by dedicating more staff to the programming as well as increasing our marketing efforts.” The latest program, Fascinated with Fishing, was dedicated just to the little ones ages six to 12 and featured an extensive lesson on fishing. The children learned how to tie a hook, what it means to be an ethical angler, how to handle a fish and the anatomy of a fish. Each child went home with their one fishing pole and even had the opportunity to catch some fish at Loon Lake, a small lake just behind the Standley Lake Dam. Phil Taylor, interpretation and educational specialist at Standley Lake, taught the program, with some help from a couple other rangers. He said it’s a great feeling watching the kids learn a new skill, and especially catch a fish. He said this summer he’s seen a few kids come back for multiple programs. “I really just want kids to come out, have fun and ask questions. As long as a kid learns one thing, it’s all worth it to me,” he said. “Plus these programs allow the kids to come and experience the park, which is great.” Boccard said she is also working on cross-promoting different programs that connect Standley Lake to other recreational programs in the city. For example, this summer there was a water color art class at Standley Lake as well as a yoga class. “I want to look at other opportunities for programs at the park that aren’t just environmental or nature-oriented because the park has so much to offer,” Boccard said. “We want to get more utilization out of the park, develop more trails and other landbased recreational opportunities.” The next educational program is Be a Ranger for the Day and will give children ages six to 12 a look at what life is like for a Standley Lake ranger. The three-hour free program begins at 1 p.m. on Sept. 28. Standley Lake Regional Park is on the western edge of Westminster at 100th Avenue and Simms Street.

County to ask residents about Jeffco5 Telephone conference planned this fall By Amy Woodward
awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com Jefferson County commissioners will be dialing out to Jeffco residents to get their stance on the Jeffco 5 initiative, along with other topics this fall, during a town hall phone conference. Residents however will not be able to dial in during the conference. The issue of receiving public feedback or to move forward on a decision was long debated during the commissioner’s staff briefing on Aug. 27. An official date for the town hall phone conference has not been scheduled but should take place no later than early October, according to Kathryn Heider, PIO for the board of county commissioners. The Jeffco 5 initiative seeks to increase the number of county commissioners from three to five, with a measure placed on the ballot for 2014. If passed, Jeffco would see a redistricting in 2015, with county commissioners running for election in 2016, and officially functioning as a five member board in 2017. Operating costs and capital costs totals anywhere from $725,000 to $750,000, according to county administrator Ralph Schell who recommended that commissioners do not go forward with the initiative due to budget constraints and the budgets unpredictability for the year 2017 when the costs are implemented. District 2 commissioner Tighe requested public opinion on the matter before the
commissioners make their decision. The deadline for county commissioners to refer the initiative on the ballot is July 2014, although commissioners would like to make a decision long before next summer. “It’s important to have a dialogue with the citizens,” Tighe said. “With the amount of interest we’ve seen in it, I would like to get more input.” Commissioner Tighe advocated for public hearing along with a telephone town hall conference in order to gather public input. “I think it’s a debate that the county should have, do the people of the county want to have smaller districts and more representation, are they willing to pay for that?” Tighe said. “Those are facts that I don’t feel I have to make a decision on.” “Even in hearings, if we have a full group of people and that whole hearing room is filled with people ... that does not make the decision on what maybe the outcome is,” Commissioner Griffin said. “Each commissioner votes the way they feel is for the future, they will take into consideration what has been said.” As staff coordinates a date for the dial out telephone town hall, the members of Jeffco 5 were not pleased with the outcome of the discussion, specifically, a denial for a public forum in which residents can show up and voice their concerns to the commissioners. “I was just floored,” said Jeffco 5 member Bernie McDowell. “Jefferson county voters are being denied even the ability to make this decision. They should not have the right to keep this from being heard,” McDowell said.

The once and future king Arvada Center brings King Arthur back to life
IF YOU GO WHAT: “Camelot” WHERE: Arvada Center
By Clarke Reader
6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada
“Don’t let it be forgot That once there was a spot, For one brief, shining moment That was known as Camelot.” The Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., is bringing back to life that one brief, shining moment along with King Arthur, Lancelot, Guinevere with its production of Lerner and Loewe’s “Camelot.” The musical opens up the center’s 37th season, and runs Sept. 10 to Oct. 6. Performances are Tuesdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., Wednesdays at 1 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. “I wanted to go back to the original text (T.H. White’s “The Once and Future King”) for this version, and really treat it like historical fiction,” said director Rod A. Lansberry. “This applied to things like costume design and the different accents of the knights.” Lansberry also cast younger actors then people may expect, because in reality the life expectancy of the time was around 35 to 40 years old, so everyone would have been younger during these events. “Camelot” tells the story of King Arthur’s (David Bryant Johnson) legendary Round Table and the knights who came from all over the country to try to forge a new world order, one where might makes

right gives way to might for right. “The knights are really struggling with the changes that Arthur is proposing,” Lansberry said. “They’re also coming from all over the country, so you have this group of people who are very eclectic and concerned with their own plans. Arthur has to bring all these disparate people together to create something new.” Johnson said that throughout the production, audiences will see Arthur age as the burdens of trying to keep these fragile ties intact wear him down. “The great thing about this production is Rod embraced the fact that these people came from all these different places,” Johnson said. “We worked with a dialect coach to give actors different accents, and it just adds an amazing layer of variety to these knights.” Of course, the other thing that is wear-
ing Arthur down is the affair between his queen, Guinevere (Melissa Mitchell) and his best friend, Lancelot (Glenn Seven Allen). “‘Camelot’ really is the story of Arthur, Lancelot and Guinevere, and how these three people try to make sense of their relationships and how they develop as people,” Lansberry said. “All three deeply love each other, and they’re constantly questioning each other and their motives.” Johnson said that one the things he finds most admirable about Arthur is the pain he puts up with to keep his new idea of chivalry alive. “Arthur is willing to spare the lives of the two people he loves so much — and in the process cause himself a lot of pain, and he lives with that pain so he can ensure that his idea isn’t a fraud,” Johnson said. Both Johnson and Lansberry said that the production brings a sense of realism to “Camelot” that has been lacking in some versions of the story. “The armor is pretty amazing — it’s hard to understand how people were able to move so fast in it,” Johnson said. “When you put on a costume like that, it really is like putting on someone else’s skin.” This is the “Camelot” people are familiar with, but Lansberry said, it has a few twists to make it more engaging. “I wanted to make sure to give the audience what they want, but I also needed to give a better story, so they understand and identify, not just watch” Lansberry said. “This is a fresh, new version that is more realistic, and I think will really draw them in.”
Fossil Trace Golf Course in Golden is listed among the “10 most unusual U.S. golf courses,” according to Forbes magazine contributor Larry Olmsted. The writer raves about course designer Jim Engh, calling him “one of my favorite golf architects and way underrated by the general public, though the industry holds him in high acclaim.” Olmstead also notes Fossil Creek’s preservation of rustic mining equipment and the history lesson the course provides with prehistoric dinosaur tracks through holes 11 to 15 left some 64 million years ago. “Triceratops footprints have been well marked next to the 12th green so golfers can take a look, and more fossils, plaster footprint casts, and ancient history are in the clubhouse,” Olmstead notes. He forgets the great views the course offers from every direction, especially from holes No. 1 and 10, and the commune next to the 16th tee box.

PGA Tour is on the ball
The PGA Tour is not run by a slew of stooges. Witness the television commercial already out touting the 2014 BMW Championships, part of the FedEx Cup playoff tournament series that will be played at Cherry Hills Country Club in Cherry Hills Village. The advertisement features four of Denver’s best-known sports figures, from the Broncos: John Elway, Peyton Manning and John Lynch and ex-Denver Nuggets star Chauncey Billups (now with the Detroit Pistons but a Denver resident and native). So Todd Helton and Joe Sakic are chopped liver? The BMW Championship is the next to the last tournament of the FedEx Cup series that narrows the field to the final 30 that play at The TOUR Championship the following week. Next year’s BMW Championship will be played Sept. 4-7 at Cherry Hills. Tickets are already available at https://tickettapp.com/wms/buy/ bmw/2014 for the 2014 BMW Championship.

Mustangs defeat Northglenn in 48-3 victory Mountain Range football team wins home, season opener By Kate Ferraro
kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com Mountain Range running back Gabe Gillespie scored three touchdowns to guide his team to a 48-3 victory over Northglenn Aug. 29 at North Stadium. The Mustangs scored 34 points in the second and third quarters alone with Gillespie scoring all three of his touchdowns in that period, along with wide receiver Kyle Dunbabin and running back Ben Waddell, scoring a touchdown each. “We knew that Gabe was going to be a key to our success this year, so we knew we wanted to keep running him,” Mountain Range coach Bryan Davey said. “Early on,
he wasn’t getting a lot, but we knew we just had to keep with it. Sure enough they wore down a bit, and that’s when a big back like Gabe, who’s over 230 pounds, really starts biting off chunks.” Dunbabin was the first Mustang to throw some points on the scoreboard for Mountain Range. Dunbabin took a hand-off from quarterback Andrew Wamsley and scored four minutes into the game for the 7-0 lead. Gillespie scored a touchdown quickly afterward when he took a hand-off from Wamsley at the beginning of the second quarter. “Gabe’s a good runner, we’re trying to match up with him,” Northglenn head coach Matt Dean said. “It was a tough job, tough chore. A lot of guys stepped up and tried to meet him.” With five minutes left in the half, North-
glenn wide receiver Eddie Franco seized a much needed run downfield to the 25-yard line. The Norse took advantage of a Mountain Range personal foul, landing them on the 10-yard line. Kicker Adam Adkins settled for a field goal, keeping Northglenn in the game 14-3. However, the field goal was the only points the Norse could come up with for the rest of the game. Dunbabin scored right before halftime, making the score 20-3 at the half as kicker Kyler McCleland missed the extra point. Gillespie scored two more touchdowns after the half. Waddell added on to the total when he scored, ending the third quarter 41-3. “We just piled on there in the third quarter,” Dean said. “I think we held tough. We could have had a couple of things go a different way and it might have been a closer
game at half. They’re tough as nails, and stuck out through four quarters and never gave up.” Mountain Range running back DeVonte Manson topped off the night by scoring off a hand-off from quarterback Isaac DiTirro. Even though the Mustangs won 48-3, Davey said he didn’t think his team looked very sharp and there are still things they need to work on. “I think we have some fundamentals we need to keep working on,” Davey said. “We have a tough Brighton team that won their league last year, next week. I’m sure they’ll be tough again. We’ll start seeing film on them, and we’ll go back to work tomorrow.” Mountain Range will play Brighton Sept. 6 at Brighton High School. Northglenn’s next game will be Sept. 6 against Gateway High School at Five Star Stadium. The Mustangs are 1-0, while the Norse fall to 0-1.
Norse volleyball falls to Lincoln in five sets Northglenn 1-1 at home By Kate Ferraro
kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com The Northglenn volleyball team dropped two consecutive sets after leading 2-1, giving Lincoln the 3-2 victory Aug. 31 at Northglenn High School. Since it was a holiday weekend, Northglenn coach Sarah Doyle said she tried rescheduling the game, considering some girls arrived late while others had to leave early. “It’s hard when you have a group of girls that are used to playing together at practice and they’re doing really well and you mess that up,” Doyle said. The Norse fell behind from the start with an 11-point deficit at one point in the first set of the match, in the end losing the set 16-25. Northglenn fought back with two consecutive wins in the second and third sets. They won 25-22 and 25-23, respectively. The Norse began the fourth set on a high note, leading 5-0. However, Lincoln attacked and won the match 18-25. Northglenn lost the
fifth set 7-15. “I think we beat ourselves,” Doyle said. “Luckily, I had girls step up, and they played hard and fought to five games. It wasn’t ideal or typical how we should have been playing so we kind of beat ourselves.” Not only did Lincoln outscore the Norse, they had more kills, aces and assists. Nevertheless, Northglenn had 102 digs compared to Lincoln’s 17. Junior Lexi Kite had 23 digs on the day. “Lexi’s amazing, she’s a junior so we’re going to have her for another year, which I’m excited for,” Doyle said. “She’s really kind of taken off and exploded this year so I’m excited to see what she can do.” Northglenn also played against Standley Lake Aug. 29 and won 3-2. Kite captured 23 digs in that game as well, along with four kills. Senior and libero Abby Thao played two good games, leading the team in aces and kills in both matches. “She did a really nice job today going in for multiple players,” Doyle said. “It’s tough because she has to know the rotation, but everybody has to follow. She’s a good player.”
Northglenn head coach Sarah Doyle talks with her team during a timeout Aug. 31 at Northglenn High School. Photo by Kate Ferraro Despite having a new team this year, Doyle said the players are looking good so far. The Norse had a few returning players, but most of the lineup are new. Northglenn is 1-1 overall and will travel to Arvada Sept. 3, then will come home again Sept. 6 to play
Kennedy. “They’re learning, they’re feeling each other out and learning how to play with each other,” Doyle said. “These first few non-conference games are to work out the kinks and see what you need to do.”

Local skater on track for 2018 Olympics Ralston Valley senior representing Team USA By Kate Ferraro
kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com
Mariah Bell moved to Colorado six years ago to train for figure skating with Cindy Sullivan, her coach. Since she’s been here, Bell has soared in the figure skating world. Bell, a 17-year-old senior at Ralston Valley High School, trains at the Ice Centre at the Promenade in Westminster. She has been skating for Team U.S.A. for three consecutive years. Sullivan, Director of Figure Skating at the Promenade, said Bell has a real passion for the sport. “She’s just a ball of energy,” Sullivan said. “She has a real love for life, andand she’s real excited about the sport. neverWhen we first began together, keeping her personality, while trying to Vontekeep in her skating, was a challenge.” ng off Bell has a real expectation of makirro. ing the U.S. Figure Skating team. She 48-3,competes on the Junior Ladies level, okedwhich she will move up to the Senior theyLadies level in January. Bell skated in the Ladies Junior ls weDivision at the U.S. Figure Skating “WeChampionships last January in Omatheirha, Neb. She won the silver medal and hey’llbecause of her triumph, she made the m onU.S. team for her third year. row.” “It’s really cool,” Bell said on repreSept.senting her country. “I know that it’s enn’sa huge honor but it’s a big responsiewaybility, too. That’s what you work for so Mus-that’s really cool.” As a skater on team U.S.A., Bell will 1. now compete in the Junior Grand Prix circuit, a series of seven international
y
competitions that began at the end of August. She was delegated the second event of the series, a competition in Mexico City from Sept. 2-8. She participated in the same event in 2012, however last year’s competition was in Italy. Bell won the silver medal in that contest as well. “It was really fun,” Bell said of competing in Italy. “It was a more laid back competition. It was a good experience and I learned how to be part of a team.” Bell could possibly qualify for the Junior Grand Prix final in December in Japan if she performs well in Mexico City and is one of the six top skaters in the circuit. The U.S. Figure Skating Championships are going to be in Boston this January. Bell said she doesn’t think she will reach the 2014 Olympics, but is confident for the 2018 Games. “It would be very hard to make it this year, because it’s my first year as a senior,” Bell said. “I have to continue to take it one competition at a time. There are a lot of steps to get to that first.” Bell has been figure skating for 13 years, starting when she was 3-yearsold and competing just a few years following. She began the sport when her sister, Morgan, started skating. Bell chose figure skating after her sister and because her mom thought it would be easier if they were both doing the same thing. Morgan Bell has been skating on the Senior Ladies level the last three years and has qualified for the U.S. Figure Skating Championships every time. Sullivan said Mariah Bell’s success is because she has a good support system at home from Morgan

Bell and the rest of her family. “Her sister skates and has been to nationals three years in a row with the senior level,” Sullivan said. “She’s been a big inspiration for Mariah. They’ve been a great family to work with and be a part of. That’s always an important factor.” Sullivan said Bell is very focused, organized and works hard, which makes it easier when coaching skaters. “She’s a very disciplined athlete day to day,” Sullivan said. “When you see an athlete who has talent, and then puts the work ethic together, that’s what is the true success to becoming a skater at a higher level. That’s the ingredient that has been successful for Mariah.” Bell’s ultimate goal is to compete in the 2018 Olympics. Bell said there are a lot of competitions before that and there are still some things she needs to learn. She knows it’s hard work and wants to be a good role model as she gets higher up in the sport. When Bell isn’t figure skating she enjoys being with her family and friends. She likes going to school events at Ralston Valley. After Bell graduates high school, she desires to receive an education at University of Colorado at Boulder, while still skating. Bell said in order to achieve her ultimate goal, she needs to stay focused. “I have to keep things in perspective,” Bell said. “Remembering my ultimate goal and remembering I’m just doing a sport. I see the kids at St. Jude’s (Children’s Research Hospital) and how happy they are. They’re always happy. That’s inspiring.”

Mustangs gymnastics barely wins in opener Mountain Range beats Broomfield by 0.10 points
SCOREBOARD
By Kate Ferraro
kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com The Mountain Range gymnastics team sneaked by Broomfield, winning their home and season opening meet by 0.10 points Aug. 29 at Mountain Range High School. The Mustangs tallied up a score of 180, while Broomfield came in right behind them with 179.90 points. “The score was a great start to the season,” Mountain Range coach Diane Clark said. “180 is really hard to get.” Clark is the former coach for Broomfield, a team she both attended and coached for many years before coming to Mountain Range. Clark said it was good to see her old team again. “It’s fun,” Clark said. “Some of the alumni came tonight. Both teams are good friends.” Overall, the Mustangs won every event except for the vault. The Eagles beat them 45.15 to 43.45, with only two Mustangs placing. Mountain Range’s best was the floor event with 46.8 points. Five girls placed in the event. Sydney Kotar struggled on the vault early on, but fought back with a fourth place finish in the uneven bars. Kotar said she began the year on a good note. “Personally, I started off really well,” Kotar said. “I set expectations high for the rest of the season.”
Mountain Range Vault-43.45 points Uneven bars-44.35 Balance beam-45.40 Floor-46.80 All-around-Caitlyn Paplow, third place; Alex Wilson, fourth place Total score-180 points Broomfield Vault-45.15 points Uneven bars-44.0 Balance beam-44.55 Floor-46.20 All-around-Kailey Licata, first place; Melanie Stelling, second place Total score-179.9 points Taylor Molliconi won first place in both the uneven bars and balance beam with scores of 9.55 and 9.3, respectively. Caitlyn Paplow placed third in the individual allaround, while Alex Wilson placed fourth. Broomfield’s Kailey Licata and Melanie Stelling captured first and second place, respectively, in the individual all-around. Even though the Mustangs came out on top in their season opening meet, Clark said there are still plenty of things the team needs to work on. “I think we know where we need to pick it up,” Clark said. “We need to do a lot of reps, mostly on vault and bars.” The Mustangs are 1-0 and will next compete in the Loveland Invitational Sept. 6.
