Students, staff and parents with disabilities are at a serious disadvantage when navigating Newton Middle School, according to Littleton Public Schools officials, forcing staff to adjust student schedules to minimize their time in classrooms that can take up to 20 minutes to reach via wheelchair.

On ballots that are being mailed out this week, district officials are asking voters to pass a nearly $300 million bond, which among numerous big-ticket projects, would allocate roughly $75 million to rebuild Newton, which sits at Arapahoe Road and Colorado Boulevard in Centennial.

The district estimates that the Newton rebuild, which would be accompanied by similar rebuilds of nearby Ames and Franklin elementary schools, would kick off in 2020 and be complete by fall of 2021. The Ames rebuild could be complete around the same time, with the Franklin rebuild estimated to be done by 2022.

The bond, if passed, would see property taxes for homeowners in the district — which mainly comprises Littleton and west Centennial — increase by $145 to $245 a year on a home valued at $500,000, according to district estimates.

While the bond would set aside money to address districtwide compliance issues with the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA, Newton sits highest on the priority list.

“It’s by far the worst in the district for ADA compliance,” said Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert at a Sept. 25 open house to discuss the bond package at Franklin Elementary School.

“We can’t just keep putting Band-Aids on these issues,” he said.

AG race draws sharp line between approaches Brauchler, Weiser offer starkly different views on policy, law

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One prosecuted the Aurora theater shooter. The other worked as an assistant to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

One’s the elected district attorney in a south metro district of more than 1 million people. The other worked in President Barack Obama’s Justice Department.

And one says his opponent wants Washington to dictate to Colorado, while the other says his rival’s background readies him for only 10 percent of the state attorney general’s job.

Republican George Brauchler, district attorney for the 18th Judicial District, and Democrat Phil Weiser, a professor and former dean at the University of Colorado Law School, stand opposite each other not only on political values, but in the approaches they would bring to the Colorado Attorney General’s Office.

And amid the starkly polarized governor’s race between Republican state Treasurer Walker Stapleton and Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, one veteran political analyst says the outcome of the contest for attorney general won’t necessarily be in line with the gubernatorial race.

“The preference for governor will not dictate the preference for attorney general,” said Dick Wadhams, political strategist and former chair of the Colorado Republican Party. He added, “I think Colorado voters are very independent-minded.”

But another Colorado political analyst, Eric Sondermann, chalked the race up as a proxy fight that hinges on how Republicans and Democrats will fare in general this midterm season.

“I think this is going to be less a battle between Brauchler and Weiser,” Sondermann said, “than it will be between the generic Republican and generic Democrat.”

High stakes

The attorney general is Colorado’s top legal official, known as the “people’s lawyer” who combats consumer scams, defends Colorado’s laws and protects its land, water and air, to name a few duties.

And despite the office’s lack of a role in the lawmaking process, Wadhams says the attorney general is integral in affecting public policy in Colorado.

He pointed to current Attorney General Cynthia Coffman, a Republican who has moved to support or oppose laws or rulings even when the governor disagrees with her decision.

“In the case of Cynthia Coffman, she actually took on the Obama administration on the Clean Power Plan,” said Wadhams, who argued the federal rule that sought to put limits on power plants would have driven up consumers’ energy costs. He added, “I think Coffman demonstrated the independence of the attorney general and also the impact.”

In an era where President Donald Trump draws the ire of many officials in various states, that ability to act could be a key factor in Colorado’s direction.

Lawsuits against the president may factor into the race between Brauchler and Weiser, but the race is also “about how you define the job,” Sondermann said.

“Brauchler is defining it as you’d expect as a courtroom warrior,” Sondermann said. “Weiser is trying to define the job as more of an advocacy role and standing up to the president.”

Fork in the road Brauchler, a Parker resident, has aimed to paint Weiser, of Denver, as a partisan who aims to “link hands” with other activist attorneys general, he said, arguing Weiser’s approach to regulation would allow Washington to “dictate our existence.”

Colorado “has never been just about one thing politically,” Brauchler said.

“This election seems like we’re poised to become one thing, and that is extremely progressive. And I don’t think Colorado has seen that — not in my lifetime.”

On the other hand, Weiser frames his campaign as a fight for people’s basic rights and business accountability.

“You have the right to be free from discrimination,” Weiser said, and “to be protected as a consumer from fraudulent and deceptive behavior.

Those rights are protected by our attorney general.”

The attorney general “fights for the people of Colorado, and that’s the type of attorney general I’ll be,” Weiser added.

But perhaps the largest contrast lies in the candidates’ backgrounds — Brauchler accused Weiser of never having practiced Colorado law, drawing experience from being a professor and dean at the University of Colorado School of Law rather than courtroom experience.

“Nobody picks a team captain from someone who’s never played the sport,” Brauchler said. He noted his near quarter-century of experience, including as a plaintiffs’ attorney and

military attorney in addition to public prosecutor roles.

Weiser’s punch-back is that the attorney general’s office is about far more than courtroom experience, he said.

“His background prepares him very well for 10 percent of the job,” Weiser said of Brauchler, claiming less than 10 percent of the position relates to criminal prosecution. “My background prepares me for the other 90 percent.”

The office governs a range of issues including consumer-protection cases, regulatory matters and legal advising, all of which “I have done,” Weiser said.

On the issues The candidates do agree on some issues, like Colorado’s marijuana law and, to some extent, federal encroachment on state matters.

Weiser and Brauchler both say they would defend Colorado’s marijuana-legalization law against potential federal challenges.

“I was not a supporter of Amendment 64, but you know who was?

Fifty-five percent of Colorado voters,” said Brauchler, adding that he was able to embrace it while trying to protect against negative effects of the illegal pot market.

That acceptance is an example of his commitment to the rule of law, Brauchler said, charging that Weiser is more partial to ideology and wants to be akin to an “adjunct legislator.”

Weiser maintains that his vision of the office is the role of “protecting the people of Colorado” by bringing cases against irresponsible companies, contesting the federal government when appropriate and supporting regulations. Weiser is for a ban on bump stocks — devices that alter the firing ability of semi-automatic firearms — and greater restrictions on access to military-grade weapons, his website says.

On other specifics, Weiser said defending equal rights, women’s access to birth control and the choice to have an abortion, and addressing climate change are among his priorities.

The candidates differ on a 2017 Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission case, in which that state office SEE AG RACE, P30

Farmers market winds up a ‘terrific’ season

Riding for a cause Riders prepare to take off just moments before starting a charity poker run in the south Denver metro area Oct. 13 to benefit the victims of the July 24 flooding in Englewood. The event, in which riders collect a playing card at each location along a route, began in the lot at Platte River Bar and Grill at 5995 S. Santa Fe Drive in Littleton.

Aspen Grove location closed last week, but others still open

BY JASON TRUITT SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The Aspen Grove Metro Denver Farmers Market closed its stalls Oct. 10, marking an end to another season in the outdoor shopping center’s parking lot.

Starting in June, every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m, an American modern-day bazaar popped up to offer customers everything from services such as knife-sharpening to local goods that included Colorado beef, sausages, exotic almonds, jam, butter and more.

Vendors kept up with stock this year, Metro Market manager John Herian said. Even with the drought season, they were able to have vital produce, such as peaches and corn, through October. Markets were full and the weather typically held up.

“Our purpose is simple — to bring fresh produce to our customers,” Herian said. “This season was terrific.”

According to its website, the Metro Denver Farmers Market is the Denver area’s oldest farmers market and has organized markets for more than 41 years.

“No matter the weather,” one vendor said, “you know I’ll be here.”

Because vendor slots fill fast, those who want to participate next season should apply now. The market prefers full-time vendors that will stay for the whole season. Fifty to 60 vendors are allowed to set up shop at one time.

The Metro Denver Farmers Market has some area locations still open: • Highlands Ranch Town Center Highlands Ranch Town Center, 9288 Dorchester St. Sundays, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. or sellout Last day is Oct. 28 • Southwest Plaza Southeast parking lot, Wadsworth and Bowles Saturdays, 8 a.m.-2 p.m. or sellout Last day is Oct. 27

Motorcyclists take to streets to benefit Englewood flood victims

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sometimes, community is dressed in black and barreling down a highway.

About two dozen motorcycle riders — along with a few in cars — participated in a charity poker run in the south Denver metro area Oct. 13 to benefit the victims of the July 24 flooding in Englewood. The event, in which riders collect a playing card at each location along a route, began that morning at Platte River Bar and Grill at 5995 S. Santa Fe Drive in Littleton.

“We’re helping out the residents of Englewood, helping them get back on their feet,” said Audrey Paulus, 53, from Thornton. Paulus, with the group Cool Biker Lunch and Rides, organized the event with JJ Margiotta, owner of the motorcycle parts and repair shop Knuckleheads on South Broadway in Englewood.

Money collected from the event was to go to benefit flood victims, and the route ended at The Englewood Tavern on South Broadway near East Quincy

Avenue.

Jackie Ortega, 45, volunteered with the event, keeping track of riders’ cards. She lives in Denver, but her friend lives just down the street from one of the hardest-hit areas of the flood that took one woman’s life and displaced several others.

“The whole neighborhood was upside-down that day,” said Shana Garcia, 45, who volunteered along with Ortega.

She lives on the 4400 block of South Bannock Street and remembers seeing emergency vehicles during the flood.

“We’re doing our part in trying to help,” Ortega said.

5 things to know: Smart Cities Alliance

Tech-minded partnership to open ‘innovation lab’ in Centennial

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As a years-long population boom continues in the Denver metro area and across the Front Range, 18 cities are keeping up a push to make the region “smarter,” brainstorming techheavy solutions on issues like transportation, public safety and more.

It’s a marriage of government resources and private innovation, and its co-founder calls it a “first-of-itskind” partnership in the nation.

“This new breed of public-private partnerships holds the potential to materially improve quality of life, even as we experience the pressure of the remarkable growth we are experiencing here in Colorado,” said Jake

Rishavy, co-founder of the Colorado Smart Cities Alliance.

With strong ties in the south metro area, the alliance — now a year old — says it will draw economic development to that area and Colorado as a whole.

Here’s a few things to know about the project.

LAUNDRY LIST OF PARTNERS The cities — Arvada, Aspen, Aurora, Boulder, Centennial, Colorado Springs, Denver, Fort Collins, Golden, Grand Junction, Greenwood Village, Lakewood, Littleton, Lone Tree, Longmont, Northglenn, Thornton and Westminster — plan to share best practices with each other through the alliance. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), University of Colorado, Xcel Energy and Arrow Electronics — an engineering and technology company — are among the private and public entities also in the partnership, Rishavy said.

PLAN COMING TOGETHER A lab featuring a “full experimental technology stack” will soon open with the help of the alliance and Arrow Electronics to develop “Smart Cities” technologies, Rishavy said.

The Colorado Open Lab will be located on the ground floor of Arrow Electronics’ global headquarters at 9201 E. Dry Creek Road in Centennial and is expected to open in the second quarter of 2019. Sensors, software tools for data gathering and analysis, and a workspace for project design will be among the assets for experimentation, Rishavy said.

“Arrow has one of the broadest global technology networks of any company in the world, many of whom will be coming to work alongside alliance partners in the Colorado Open Lab,” Rishavy said.

gural CO Smart Cities Symposium on Sept. 18 to exchange ideas in the downtown Denver area. Put on by the alliance and Arrow Electronics, it came almost a year exactly after the Sept. 25, 2017, ceremony for the alliance at the University of Colorado Denver.

Like with last year, Mayor Stephanie Piko was among the local officials at this year’s event, too. For Piko, smart city initiatives offer a way to address development and growth in the city.

“By embracing smart city solutions in the areas of transportation, infrastructure management and the environment, we are taking advantage of data and information that is in ‘real time’ to better embrace the opportunity to have a positive impact our residents’ quality of life,” Piko said in a statement the following week.

Slicing — not skating — on the ice Texas Roadhouse butchers compete in qualifier for national prize

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Usually, onlookers might see hockey players or leisurely ice skaters at South Suburban Ice Arena, but Oct. 8 was a day for chopping raw meat.

Nearly 30 butchers from Texas Roadhouse restaurants in Colorado and surrounding states came to the ice rink, at 6580 S. Vine St. in Centennial, to do what they do daily: handcut beef. But here, they competed in a qualifier round to attempt to advance to the semi-finals for the 2018 National Meat Cutting Challenge for Texas Roadhouse meat cutters.

“Everyone wants to be the best and compete for pride and money,” said

Jonathan Cecil, 33, from Farmington, New Mexico, concentrates on cutting meat at a qualifier for the 2018 Meat Cutting Challenge Oct. 8 at South Suburban Ice Arena in Centennial.

ELLIS ARNOLD Mathew Lang, a kitchen manager in Greeley.

Lang, 32, came with two meat cutters who lined up to face between 30-40

pounds of beef each — every participant received one sirloin, one filet and one ribeye to cut, according to a news release for the event. Whoever could cut the most steaks with the highest quality in the least amount of time won.

Keeping the scene at 38 degrees on the ice assures the quality of the meat, the release said, but the cold didn’t stop the group’s intensity.

Using rulers, meat tenderizers, scales and other tools, the group — some from Thornton, Sheridan, Parker, Littleton and Arvada — went to work, meticulously slicing fat off of cuts and displaying the skills they use on the job. Meat cutters hand-cut the steaks served at Texas Roadhouse, the release said.

“It’s the best job I’ve ever had,” said Nathan Garness, a 29-year-old from Rapid City, South Dakota. “I love my job.”

The competition is part of the

Meat Hero program, created in 2001 to recognize daily efforts of Texas Roadhouse meat cutters, the release said.

This year, Camerino Segura of Thornton and Auder Revelario of Longmont advanced to the semi-finals.

That stage and the final competition will be held in March in Orlando, Florida. The Meat Cutter of the Year receives $20,000.

During the competition, Gabe Aumack, 20, stood to the side as a judge, watching the scale at the table in front of him to ensure the meat’s weight fell within the parameters.

“I wanted to learn a bit,” said Aumack, who came from Cheyenne, Wyoming.

A training coordinator at Texas Roadhouse, Aumack is in the learning stages of cutting meat.

“It’s really cool to be a part of that,” Aumack said. “You learn a lot about the business.”

umpkins, apples and fall fun abounded Oct. 14 at the Littleton Museum’s annual Harvest Festival, which drew children and families to the farms at 6028 S. Gallup St. Besides pumpkin-picking, activities included storytelling, horse-drawn wagon rides and snacks. But even after the harvest, there’s still fun to be found at the living-history farms that replicate life in the 1860s and 1890s, longtime volunteer Barbra Miller said. “We’re open from 8 until 5 on business days and 1 to 5 on Sundays,” she said, “and the best part about it is, it’s free — it’s always free.”

Families picked their favorite pumpkins from the museum patch — these were carted away in a wooden wagon.

Bright red apples float in bins of water waiting for children and their families to try at bobbing for apples.

“Making Newton accessible to students with disabilities would be greatly improved with a new building.”

The problem, said Newton Principal James O’Tremba, is that the school was built in 1962, long before not only the ADA, but also before laws that saw kids with disabilities “mainstreamed” into public schools instead of institutions or private schools.

“The building was laid out to match the topography it sits on, so it’s on multiple different levels and layers,” O’Tremba said while walking through the school’s hallways.

While the school is technically ADA compliant, O’Tremba said, students using wheelchairs depend on electric wheelchair lifts to navigate the building’s numerous small staircases, some only four or five steps high. Each lift, however, must be operated by a trained staff member, meaning even the smallest staircases can take eight to 10 minutes to traverse in a wheelchair.

Getting from the front door to a lower-level classroom can take upward of 20 minutes, O’Tremba said, meaning school staff try to structure the schedules of students who use wheelchairs to minimize the time they spend in those classrooms.

“We work really hard to ensure that all kids are getting the same access to the same education, but this building

Newton Middle School principal James O’Tremba stands atop a short staircase without an electric wheelchair lift, which forces wheelchair users to make a lengthy detour.

Newton Middle School Principal James O’Tremba stands beside an electric wheelchair lift that traverses a four-stair rise, which he said can take eight to 10 minutes to utilize.

makes that really tough,” O’Tremba said.

Beyond ADA access, the old building has other structural issues that are becoming increasingly difficult to address, O’Tremba said.

Primarily, O’Tremba said, the building is settling, meaning some hallways slant as much as five inches from one side to the other, and concrete under some exterior doors must be regularly

ground down to ensure the doors still open and shut. Other issues include leaky roofs and spotty electricity, he said.

Addressing the building’s ADA issues could mean big things for students who use wheelchairs, said Dana Barton, director of the Rocky Mountain ADA Center, a federally funded program that offers technical assistance to companies and agencies

regarding disabilities access.

“Any time you can help students with disabilities participate in mainstream activities, such as going to school in the same manner as the kids next to them, is a positive thing,” Barton said. “We have to make efforts to integrate people with disabilities into everyday life. Normalizing education for them helps them integrate into the workforce, which makes for a brighter economy.”

Reducing barriers for students with disabilities also can help their nondisabled peers learn to treat them in a more inclusive fashion, Barton said.

“It starts at a young age,” Barton said.

VOICES Cast a vote for the future of our schools

T

he price tag to install an elevator at Newton Middle School — which would shorten the 20 minutes it now takes a wheelchair-bound student to get to the second floor using lifts — comes in at $1 million.

But to make the west Centennial school completely compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act — and remove asbestos still lingering in the school — would cost about $20 million, Littleton Public Schools officials say.

Which is why they say it makes more sense to construct a new Newton, which would cost the district about $75 million.

The proposal is part of Littleton Public Schools’ $298 million bond request that not only would renovate aging buildings but also provide new spaces to meet evolving educational needs of the future.

This is LPS’ largest bond request, more than triple the amount of the last bond, an $80 million measure passed in 2013 to maintain and repair

OUR VIEW aging facilities and improve safety and security. It also is the first that will directly increase taxes. Former bond measures have replaced expiring debts, so residents did not see any increases in taxes.

But the district has made a compelling argument for Bond Issue 4A to ensure continued quality education for its students — and we support its vision for the future.

That means, if passed, the owner of a home valued at $500,000 would pay $145 to $245 more in property taxes a year. Monthly, the amount breaks down to $29 to $49. The range is due to some unknown factors, school officials say: the outcome of Amendment 73 — a state ballot measure that would generate public school revenue primarily by increasing personal taxes on those with higher incomes — and whether the district decides to obtain the bonds all at once or split them into two segments.

There’s no question: The district is growing old.

The average age of its buildings is 58 years and much of their structural integrity is diminishing, school officials say. Going forward, to maintain an average age of 62 years, the district would need to replace a school every three years, according to the citizenbased Long Range Planning Committee. This would be the first time since 1981 that new schools are built.

The district also needs new spaces to meet evolving learning and teaching programs. It must find ways to decrease or eliminate the busing of elementary students across the district.

It must figure out how to accommodate the growing activities in music and sports — particularly in girls sports — that make it increasingly difficult to schedule time at the district’s lone stadium.

“While we’re not growing in terms of enrollment,” Superintendent Brian Ewert said, “we do need new spaces for new programs.”

I LETTERS TO THE EDITOR County offices need Dems Since 1902 only two assessors have completed their four year terms ( traditionally they serve two terms for a total of eight years).

What’s been happening now for over a century is that the sitting assessor “retires” one year before their term ends. The Republican Party then appoints a “new” assessor.

For that year, mailings are circulated to all county residents with the new assessor’s name; advertising that is financed by you the taxpayers. During the next election cycle, voters are asked to “re-elect” the man appointed. This also happens with the clerk and recorder and the sheriff ’s position.

SEE LETTERS, P15

One of the most exciting possibilities the bond would help realize is the creation of a new Career and Technical Education and Innovation Center on property the district has already purchased behind the old Schomp Automotive, now the Tesla dealership, and across from Littleton High School.

Essentially a large vocational training and trade school, it would provide students with work-based and real-life learning, certifications and apprenticeships to meet a much-needed and growing demand from business leaders.

Communities in the district have historically supported their schools: Voters have approved all six of the district’s previous requested bond and mill levies, dating back to 1988.

“We’re building a legacy for the future,” Ewert said. “In the 1950s and 1960s, someone did this for us. Are we going to do it for them? Are we going to set the stage for future generations?”

We urge voters to say yes.

LETTERS FROM PAGE 14

Despite being purple in voter registration and winning state and local seats, Democrats have never won any of these county positions. It is time to end this way of winning elections and elect the candidates that are best suited for the positions.

Vote for these qualified Democratic candidates: Tylor Brown for Arapahoe County Sheriff, Joan Lopez for Arapahoe County Clerk, and PK Kaiser for Arapahoe County Assessor.

Susan Meeker Littleton Vote no on 112 I work in the oil and gas industry, and it goes without saying that oil and gas is a major part of my life. What I’m willing to bet you don’t realize is that even if you don’t, oil and gas is a major part of your life, too. That’s why I’m encouraging you to vote no on Proposition 112.

Proposition 112 will make setbacks for drilling 2,500 feet from any occupied building, waterway and other “areas of special concern” which are areas that haven’t even been determined yet by local governments. In effect, Proposition 112 will dis-

allow new oil and gas drilling on 85 percent of the private and state lands in Colorado. The oil and gas industry cannot survive here if you remove this much inventory.

How this affects you is that Colorado-produced oil and gas contributes substantially to the services we all use and the quality of life we all enjoy. We’re talking $30 billion in GDP. Hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue that goes to things like K-12 funding, municipal services like fire districts, and low-cost energy that heats our homes and cooks our food. Remove locally-produced energy from the equation and your bills are going to go up.

So don’t vote no on Proposition 112 for my sake. Do it for all of ours.

Justin Shoulders Englewood Vote for Kaiser PK Kaiser was born in India during war time. His parents first belonged to a united India after the battle line was drawn, and his family found themselves in the new state of Pakistan. PK quickly came to an understanding of the fragile nature of political systems and the value of democracy.

PK has lived in many places around the world, including Thailand. In every new commu-

nity, he rolled up his sleeves and went to work with and for the people. As he witnessed varying degrees of governments, social structures and political systems, he grew even more committed to the ideal of justice and equality—the chief tenets of democracy.

PK waited 17 years before he was eligible to earn his United States citizenship. He remembers it as the day where his commitment to serving people could be fully actualized. He’s had the privilege of a multistate, multi-country and multicultural education that make him uniquely qualified to serve as the Arapahoe County assessor.

PK’s life’s mission is to ensure the promise of government remains aligned with the interests of the people. This is a man dedicated to transparency and accountability. As county assessor he will protect property tax dollars, increase exemptions for seniors and work to expand affordable housing. PK Kaiser is a man with integrity and a long history of public- and privatesector service providing him an in depth understanding of how government works, and why good candidates are so badly needed. This election please join me in electing PK Kaiser.

GETTING ENOUGH FIBER Centennial was innovating even before the partnership, though, and its fiber backbone — an underground infrastructure of fiber-optic cable — is on schedule for completion around the end of the year.

That completed backbone will allow Centennial to enhance its system of traffic cameras and sensors, enabling the city to time its traffic lights more accurately to traffic flows. That Intelligent Transportation System is already actively timing traffic lights on some roads, and the city is looking to expand that system to other streets, according to Allison Wittern, city spokeswoman.

LOOKING AHEAD Centennial is in early stages of researching initiatives with the alliance that could support what it calls “aging in community” — the city is also looking at short-term steps to educate residents about low-cost renovations to make homes more suitable for people of all ages, Wittern said. The city’s Mobility Ambassador Program, which educates about transportation options, aims to allow older residents to continue independent lifestyles without feeling tied to cars, Wittern said.

The alliance in general will convene its partners throughout the next year to work on projects, Rishavy said.

It aims to “co-develop and test emerging technologies that have the potential to positively impact issues ranging from transportation and mobility to public health, public safety and sustainability,” Rishavy said.

OBITUARIES

KEOSHEYAN

Roberta Ann (Feeney) Keosheyan 1965 – 2018

Spoiler Alert: This is not your typical obituary. If you were looking for one, you’ve come to the wrong place, spunky trunks*.

Roberta was clear that she wanted to be remembered as she lived: With laughter and honesty and love. If she thought for one second that we were writing a typical “bummer of an obit” for her, she would be rolling her eyes and asking in that sortof-joking-but-sort-of-not way of hers, “What the hell is wrong with you?” So, in all seriousness, we are writing this to be the first of many loving remembrances.

Details on the Celebration of Life and other activities to honor Roberta are at the bottom of this piece.

As we began to write this, a little-known fact started bubbling to the surface: She loved to play games of all types, but one of her favorites was Dungeons and Dragons. She was among the first die-hard fans of the game back when it was introduced, proud to play with the “nerdiest” people at her schools (That is, before it was cool to be a nerd, which wouldn’t really happen until the late 90s/early 00s). This memory stood out because in many ways, both explicit and symbolic, it typified the way Roberta lived: Fearlessly.

An amazing companion to quest through life with, she saw and valued people for who they truly were, not the labels, or titles or stereotypes society tried to place on them. To put it in D&D parlance, she was that paladin/fighter combo that most of us aspire to but rarely reach: steadfast, trusted, brave, and ready at a moment’s notice to stand up for truth, to uphold justice, and to help people when they needed it most.

In her final battle, Roberta faced off against a most terrible foe: triple-negative, metastatic breast cancer — and she fought valiantly, but ultimately lost. She left this world on September 18, 2018, peacefully and surrounded by family. She will always be remembered as the brave, poised, beautiful, funny, charismatic, fullof-grace person that she was.

She was born in 1965 in Tarrytown, New York to Ann and Robert Feeney. A Colorado transplant, Roberta grew up in Littleton, swimming and diving at the pool and generally raising hell with the rest of the Bow Mar South kids and her siblings Mike, Kate, and Matt. Not satisfied with attending just one higher ed institution,

she went to three, ultimately earning a BFA from the College of Santa Fe. Roberta had an innate sense of style all her own. From clothes, to décor, to hair color (remember that burgundy cellophane?), Roberta made the rules, broke them, made new ones... and always looked good doing it. Her work-life was eclectic, running the gamut from dance instructor, private investigator (yep, that’s true), top-performing sales executive, luxury home builder, sleep expert, interior design consultant, and many more in between. She loved karaoke and could absolutely crush “Shadows of the Night”

by Pat Benatar. There is at least a possibility that she was a CIA shadow operative.

It wouldn’t surprise us one bit.

Roberta is survived by her loving husband of 24 years, Robert Keosheyan, and her sons, Connor “Bonner” Keosheyan, Greg “Never Got a Nickname” Harezlak, and her daughter Philippa “Favorite Child” Keosheyan (Yes, Flip wrote that last bit).

A tree will be planted in Roberta’s memory at Ann’s Grove along the Mary Carter Greenway in Littleton. A celebration of life will be held on October 27th; for more information on these please email Rob Keosheyan at rkeosheyan@gmail.com.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Roberta’s name to the Colorado Cancer Foundation (www.coloradocancerfoundation.org) and The Hardy Project (www.thehardyproject.com) * Authors Note: For those of you who may not be aware, “Spunky Trunks” was one of Roberta’s favorite terms of endearment and one of our fondest memories of the childlike, adorable part of her personality she showed only on rare occasions.

Dale Smith prepares for Halloween by shopping for costumes inside Disguises, a costume shop in Lakewood.

‘Everyone’s a kid on

HALLOWEEN’

Lots of ways to get dressed up and satisfy your sweet tooth this month

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

ew holidays afford the creativity of Halloween — Christmas has its trees and presents, Independence Day has its explosives, but Halloween is celebrated many ways.

Far transmuted from its murky Celtic roots, Halloween in the Denver area runs the gamut from costume parties and balls to haunted houses and a variety of trick-or-treating options for youngsters.

Playing dress-up October is an exciting time at Disguises, a sprawling costume shop on West Colfax Avenue in Lakewood.

“We’re here year-round, but the place really comes to life leading up to Halloween,” said Tess Heinonen, who’s worked for Disguises for six years.

Superheroes are big this year, Heinonen said.

“Black Panther is still popular,” Heinonen said. “The Avengers, too. So are villains like the Joker and Harley Quinn — that’s a fun couples’ costume.”

The gut-buster outfit this year is a big floppy T-rex, Heinonen said.

“It’s pretty much impossible not to laugh when somebody’s wearing one,” she said.

Disguises also offers professional makeup consulting for those who want to take their costume up an extra notch.

“We can turn you into lots of the creepy stuff you see in TV and movies,” said David Caballero, Disguise’s artistic director, who’s been doing theatrical makeup for three decades. “If you bring in a picture, we’ll figure out how to do it.”

n the movies that were churned out during Hollywood’s classic era in the 1930s, journalists mainly handled stress with a bottle of bourbon in their desks and an unending string of half-lit cigarettes.

COMING Luckily, there ATTRACTIONS are healthier ways to deal with stress these days — as former Denver Post employee and longtime banjo player Barry Osborne can attest.

“I was the home page editor, so it required I stayed Clarke Reader on top of breaking news, and you had to balance the interests of all the different desks and editors and drive up page views,” Osborne said. “It was a great job, but very stressful. I turned to music to destress. I started taking banjo lessons at Swallow Hill — where I now work — and got my technique down.”

Osborne recently released his debut EP “Back of the Title Page” — the culmination of years of tinkering with songs and lyrics going as far back as college.

At the time, he played bass; it wasn’t until after college that he took up the banjo.

“I loved the sound, and I sort of loved that some people dislike the banjo,” he said. “I like instruments — and other things — that never completely fit in.”

After honing his skills at Denver’s Swallow Hill, an organization that connects people to music through learning, performances and more, Osborne started putting his recent experiences to melodies.

“I was inspired by getting older.

I’m in my early 40s, which I don’t consider old or anything, but I’ve gained some perspective on life,” he explained. “I name-check some friends I’ve known since high school that have stayed creative in music, literature and activism.

“They stayed creative and passionate in their endeavors, and I take inspiration from that. I want to be like them — creative and willing to reinvent myself and be passionate about it.”

Recorded in the homes of Osborne and engineer, producer and mixer Brian Nelson, “Back of the Title Page” is a warm and personal album that deepens the more time listeners spends with it.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Troye Sivan at Fillmore Auditorium One of the most exciting aspects about the pop landscape in 2018 is how diverse and eclectic it has become. For so long, only certain kinds of artists were given the spotlight, but South African Troye Sivan is rising to superstardom on his own terms.

He came out to the public as gay in a Youtube video in 2013 and since then has made no attempts to hide or apologize for who he is.

This self-acceptance is a great example for everyone, and that alone makes Sivan worth celebrating. On top of that, he makes truly top-notch pop tunes.

Sivan is bringing the tour for his excellent sophomore album “Bloom” to the Fillmore Auditorium, 1510 Clarkson in Denver, at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 22. He’ll be joined by Kim Petras.

“Bloom” is an album full of love songs, at times silky and sexy and at others big-hearted and yearning.

Songs like “My! My! My!” and “Animal” are the kinds of music that can lead a full and happy life bouncing around in your head.

HALLOWEEN

‘When I was a kid, the streets were just crawling with kids. Now the folks I talk to say they see just a few kids each year.’

FROM PAGE 16

Characters from “American Horror Story” are big this year, Caballero said, as are the Mad Hatter from “Alice in Wonderland” and Pennywise, the evil clown from “It.” The tools of Caballero’s trade have remained largely the same over the years, he said, though alcohol-based paints are getting more popular because they stay in place for days.

“You can get made up once and hit up a few parties,” Caballero said.

Shopping local beats the pop-up costume shops for Halloweenies who want to bring their A-game to the costume party, Caballero said, because the quality of the costumes is higher and staff is more knowledgeable.

Thrift stores, too, can be a boon to partygoers on a budget or for those who want some inspiration, said Lloyd Lewis, president of ARC thrift stores.

Halloween is among the busiest times of year for ARC’s 27 locations along the

we’ve got all kinds of unique recycled clothing and items,” Lewis said.

Plus, Lewis said, shopping at ARC helps support people with developmental disabilities, many of whom are employed by the company.

Lewis said his son, who has Down syndrome, already put together his costume from an ARC store: Steve from “Blue’s Clues.”

Hitting the streets for treats For the younger set, Halloween’s big appeal is, of course, candy.

However, going trick-or-treating doorto-door seems to be waning, said officer Rick Redmond, a spokesman for the Littleton Police Department.

“I couldn’t tell you why it seems to be fizzling out,” Redmond said. “When I was a kid, the streets were just crawling with kids. Now the folks I talk to say they see just a few kids each year.”

Fears about tainted or poisoned candy are largely baseless, Redmond said.

“Razor blades in apples and all that stuff are urban legends,” he said. “Still, it’s never a bad idea for parents to inspect their kids’ candy before they eat it.”

Redmond had some other tips for trick-or-treaters and their parents:

• Make sure you’re visible to drivers by using light-colored costumes or adding reflective tape to darker ones.

• Try to go in groups, with adult supervision.

• Cross streets at intersections instead of zig-zagging across the road.

• Consider doing face-painting instead of masks, which can limit a kid’s vision.

Lots of other activities are taking the place of door-to-door trick-or-treating, with an internet search pulling up dozens of “trunk-or-treat” events hosted by area churches and police departments, where kids can make their way through a cordoned-off parking lot for sweet treats.

Some events are more elaborate. The Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, for example, will host their annual Trick or Treat Train event on Oct. 27 and 28.

Kids can ride railroad cars from the 1800s and make stops to get treats from train conductors in full costume, said Andrea Bestor, the museum’s guest services manager.

“It’s a great place to trick-or-treat in the daytime, without worrying about cars,” Bestor said. “The costumes are great, and there’s such excitement in the air. Everyone’s a kid on Halloween.”

SMITH FROM PAGE 14

add the word “transparency” to its current advertising strategy.

Lake Superior University’s listings of Banished Words and Expressions banished “transparency” in 2008.

No problem. (“No problem” was banished in 1980.)

A university not far from here spent $500,000 for a slogan that was already being used by another university.

I contacted the school, and a representative said the school was aware of the duplication.

“No worries. We use a different font.” (“No worries” was banished in 2012.)

Who does Lake Superior University think it is? I guess it thinks it’s, like, superior.

I just used the word “like” extragrammatically.

“Like” came out of the 1960s smelling like patchouli, and it still smells.

I started to hear it in my classroom in the 1980s, and figured it had a shelf life. It doesn’t.

Whenever I hear it now, I disregard the point being made. It’s a belch, really. It’s often said without the speaker knowing it was said.

When I hear someone who is 50, 60, or 70 still liking it up, I close my eyes, wince and growl.

By the way, I saw Wince and Growl

at Red Rocks this summer. They were edgy. I felt their vibe all the way home.

A great place to find doublespeak (thanks, George Orwell) is on a menu.

Whenever I read “only the freshest ingredients,” I become suspicious.

What else is there?

Some are and some aren’t?

“Grilled to perfection” is another one. Again, what else is there? And if I see “heaping helping” of anything, I excuse myself from the table.

One time, the menu said “crispy lettuce,” and “crispy chicken,” and “crispy fries.”

The waiter asked me what I wanted to drink, and I told him, “A glass of crispy lemonade.”

“Huh?” I wrote a negative review for a pair of dress socks that came undone the first time I wore them.

A representative of the brand asked me to remove the review, and promised they would “leverage” the product.

I think if she had just said “improve” instead of “leverage” I might have done it.

Oh, the temptations of a thesaurus.

Well, it’s time for breakfast, and this morning I think I’ll start with a synonym roll.

When I lost both of my paternal grandparents to strokes just weeks apart, I felt so powerless. That’s when I decided to go back to school and specialize in stroke care. I knew I had to try and help my patients — and their families — to bring them comfort and answers in their biggest time of need.

COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA’S VOTER GUIDE PART 2 OF 2 • This week: Q&As with candidates for Congress, governor and other statewide offices. Plus, a comprehensive look at the state ballot issues.

• Online: More coverage at ColoradoCommunityMedia.com

RACE FOR GOVERNOR

Who will replace John Hickenlooper?

Q&A with Jared Polis Party: Democratic City of residence: Boulder Profession: Entrepreneur, member of Congress Campaign website: polisforcolorado.com In the realm of politics, past or present, whom do you most admire?

Pat Schroeder, for breaking barriers and her steadfast commitment for equal rights for women. She was a pioneer and fought and won hard fights for women and humanity.

Of your accomplishments in elected office, what are you most proud of?

I was proud to work with Democrats and Republicans to replace No Child Left Behind with a system that serves our kids much better. I was also proud to lead the fight to ban lobbyist gifts to lawmakers in Colorado — because elected leaders should answer to the people, not special interests.

Describe your leadership style.

I’ve led businesses, started schools and served as an elected official, and

in each situation, I’ve found the most important thing is to respect the people who work for and with you — by building a culture where people feel comfortable bringing up good ideas, and where everyone feels their contributions are valued.

What must be done to improve Colorado’s K-12 education system?

It’s time for us to stop just talking about investing in our kids and actually start doing it. We need to raise teacher pay, end the teacher shortage and provide our schools with the resources they need to provide every child with a great education. My plan also calls for bringing free, full-day preschool and kindergarten to every family, so that each child in Colorado gets off to a strong start.

What must be done to ensure the state’s transportation system can meet the demands of a growing population?

Colorado drivers are being forced to pay an average of nearly $300 per year in car repairs.

SEE POLIS, P28

Q&A with Walker Stapleton Party: Republican City of residence: Greenwood Village Profession: Treasurer of Colorado Campaign website: stapletonforcolorado.com In the realm of politics, past or present, whom do you most admire?

Sen. Al Simpson because he used humor and wit to bridge partisan divisions, and he was a pragmatic problem solver.

Of your accomplishments in elected office, what are you most proud of?

As treasurer, I have accomplished a lot for Colorado taxpayers. Every year I have invested Coloradans’ tax dollars, the state has beat investment benchmarks. I also worked to set up the Land Trust Investment Advisory Board that will result in more money for public education, without raising taxes.

Describe your leadership style.

I will be a governor who works with both parties to get things done. I am a results-oriented person who wants

to tackle tough problems Coloradans face. I’m not afraid to compromise, and I will not let politics get in the way of helping hardworking Coloradans.

What must be done to improve Colorado’s K-12 education system?

An overview of Colorado Department of Education data reveals from 2011 to 2017, student population grew by 6.3 percent, teachers grew by 8.1 percent, and administrators grew by 34.6 percent. As governor, I will make sure we are using our education dollars to pay our teachers and get more money into classrooms to help students succeed. We need to increase transparency in the budgeting process and direct dollars to the teachers and the classrooms, not outof-control administrative costs.

What must be done to ensure the state’s transportation system can meet the demands of a growing population?

As governor, I will demand results from the Department of Transportation (CDOT).

Dave Young Party: Democratic City/town of residence: Greeley Profession: Educator, representative for state House District 50 Website: daveyoungforcolorado. com

What makes you the best choice for this office?

What are the most important duties of the attorney general?

Experience and commitment to Colorado. I am a Colorado kid from middle-class Lakewood who has practiced Colorado law for nearly one quarter-century as a prosecutor, criminal defense attorney, plaintiff ’s and civil defense counsel, military prosecutor and defense attorney, Chief of Military Justice (northern Iraq), and I’ve tried cases in municipal, state, federal and military courts. I handled the felony cases from the Columbine massacre and led the successful prosecution of the Aurora theater shooter.

The attorney general represents all of Colorado government, except for the Legislature. A good AG works vigorously to keep our communities safe. The AG is a defender of Coloradans by enforcing our laws without regard to ideology or political agenda. The AG is a protector of Colorado, its natural resources, environment and its precious water. The AG is a guardian of our constitutional rights and the rule of law. That has been my entire career.

I have dedicated my life to law, justice and public service — with experience at the state and federal levels, leading teams of lawyers, building innovative programs and fighting for constitutional protections for all. As a former law clerk to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, leader at the Justice Department, adviser at Barack Obama’s White House and dean of CU Law, I have the best experience to lead this office of over 500 people dedicated to protecting Coloradans.

The attorney general is the lawyer for the state of Colorado and its people. Led by an innovative and committed AG, the office defends our constitutional freedoms, stands up for workers and consumers, and protects our land, air, and water.

As AG, I will fight for equal treatment and opportunity under the law.

»

What makes you the best choice for this office?

Describe your leadership style.

It’s time for fresh leadership and new ideas in the Secretary of State’s Office. I am the only candidate who can vow that my undivided attention will go to ensuring that Colorado has the securest elections and the most transparent government in the nation. I will make elections more accessible and secure, champion transparency and work to stop dark money in Colorado campaigns.

Collaborative. It’s critical to get expert advice from government and the private sector. Colorado was targeted by a Russian cyberattack in 2016. Colorado’s statewide voter system went down in 2016, causing two- to three-hour delays. We have great cyber and IT resources in Colorado in the private sector. As SOS, I am going to work with the top minds in government and private-sector cyber experts to ensure that we are ready for 21st century challenges.

» I am the only candidate who has actually run an election. As secretary of state, I oversee voter registration and elections.

Under my leadership, it’s easier than ever before to register, and Colorado leads the nation in voter registration. I am the only candidate who has experience registering businesses and charities. Since taking office, Colorado has added over 100,000 businesses, thanks partially to an inexpensive and easy process available to Coloradans to start new businesses.

I am the only candidate that understands that there is nothing political about running clean elections and making it easy for Coloradans to start new businesses. My re-election is being supported by election officials across the political spectrum. Among them are county clerk and recorders that include Republicans, unaffiliated clerks and many of the Democrats. I have earned their support because they know that I’m a principled leader who believes in transparency and accountability.

What makes you the best choice for this office?

Describe your leadership style.

My core principles are built around people-driven solutions, stewardship and fiscal responsibility. I have dedicated my life to building bridges and finding solutions to complex problems — the types of problems that our next state treasurer will face on day one. I am the only candidate for state treasurer who has worked in the private sector serving in a fiduciary role, making me uniquely qualified for this important office.

As one of my campaign pledges, I will not take a salary from the government for serving as Colorado’s treasurer, as I want to truly serve you and set a precedent from day one of saving every tax dollar possible. My goal is always to bring people together to solve problems. Our state needs a treasurer willing to make hard decisions and find innovative solutions to problems, and I will work tirelessly on your behalf.

As a teacher and a legislator on the Joint Budget Committee, I’ve had a front-row seat into the most pressing financial issues facing our state. I know that our schools are underfunded and that our roads and bridges need to be repaired. I’m a pragmatic problem solver. For years, I have written and balanced our state’s $30 billion budget in a way that improves lives across Colorado.

I like to begin with the end in mind and make sure everyone is well equipped and resourced to complete the task at hand. My role as a leader is to make sure people have the tools they need to be successful and support them as necessary so they can accomplish at their full potential.

ELECTIONS 2018

What policy changes would you implement?

Would you defend Colorado’s marijuanalegalization law against federal challenges?

If elected, what will your top priority be in January?

I will be an attorney general for all of Colorado. I intend to decentralize the AG’s office by creating regional offices in the parts of Colorado with fewer resources to tackle some of the biggest issues affecting community safety, such as the opioid crisis, burgeoning meth epidemic, environmental crimes and the expanding black-market marijuana grows throughout Colorado. I will expand statewide the attack on human trafficking I have led as DA in our community.

Yes. Defending Colorado from federal overreach, regardless of who occupies the White House, is an obligation of the AG. Coloradans know best how to govern ourselves, not bureaucrats 1,500 miles away. I will defend our constitution and laws, whether I agree with them or not. As a father of four great kids in public schools, I’m committed to continuing the fight against violators of our marijuana laws who put our children and communities at risk.

I will protect our families and defend our state by enforcing our laws and actively serving as a check against an overreaching federal government and a state government that exceeds its lawful authority in governing Colorado.

Whatever partisan path there is to election, as AG, I will not be an AG for any party or ideology. I will be an AG for all of Colorado and all Coloradans. More Colorado, less Washington, D.C.

The AG is well positioned to lead on a number of important policy areas, like addressing the opioid epidemic by treating it as a public health crisis and managing our water when there is less of it — and more demands for it — on account of climate change. I will also work to advance fair and sensible reforms to our criminal justice system, with incarceration alternatives for those who are not a threat to public safety.

Yes. As attorney general, I will protect our state’s sovereignty against federal overreach and ensure that Colorado maintains the right to decide how we legislate and manage marijuana. I will work with law enforcement officers across the state to ensure that the expected benefits of legalized marijuana are experienced to the fullest extent, and I will defend the rights of counties to decide how they manage marijuana within their jurisdiction.

Fair treatment and opportunity for all Coloradans is the heart of my vision. To achieve this, it is imperative to address the opioid epidemic and take on irresponsible drug companies who lied to people, made huge profits and now must be held accountable. Once we win this case, we will use the funds from this settlement to spur the development of drug treatment across Colorado, providing an important alternative to putting drug users in jail.

What are the most important duties of the secretary of state?

What improvements can be made to the way elections are run in Colorado?

If elected, what will your top priority be in January?

The Colorado secretary of state oversees our elections, campaign finance and business registration, among other duties. The secretary of state is critical to making sure that Colorado has safe and secure elections and that eligible voters are able to vote.

In 2016, our election system went down, causing two- to three-hour delays. I will work to ensure that this does not happen again. We also received a B ranking in cybersecurity and must take immediate steps to ensure our elections are safe against Russian cyberattacks. It’s critical that we improve our elections so that every eligible Coloradan can have their voice heard.

I am running for secretary of state because I believe that every eligible Coloradan, Democrat, Republican or unaffiliated, should have their voice heard. That’s why I plan to expand automatic voter registration. I will stop secret political spending in Colorado elections and make the Secretary of State’s Office into a business resource center for first-time business owners and entrepreneurs.

I’ve worked hand-in-hand with county clerks to rapidly and safely modernize Colorado’s ability to conduct and oversee elections of all sizes, recently directing the statewide implementation of new voting systems. I’ve placed a great deal of emphasis on election integrity and, in 2017, oversaw Colorado’s first ever statewide risk-limiting audit, designed to catch election errors. It’s no surprise that the Washington Post recently called Colorado “the safest state to cast a vote.”

Under my leadership, Colorado has become a national model of excellence for innovation and cybersecurity. In 2016, when Russian hackers attempted to interfere with U.S. elections, Colorado was ready because, “The state invested in security when the only reward was public trust, not national interests.” Thanks to our recently implemented risk-limiting audit, we can safely say that no votes were changed by foreign actors. But, as cyber threats evolve, we must continue to be ready.

My top priority will be to maintain the standing of the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office as a national model of innovation, fairness, transparency and excellence. Under my leadership, Colorado has won seven national awards in the areas of innovation and cybersecurity, and my expectation is that we will continue to increase our national standing in my next four years as secretary of state.

What are the most important duties of the state treasurer?

What policy changes would you implement?

If elected, what will your top priority be in January?

Being a steward of every taxpayer dollar is paramount. This includes investing taxpayer dollars responsibly and making our state government more transparent and accountable. Serving on the PERA (Public Employees’ Retirement Association) board is the greatest challenge for the state treasurer. The $32 billion unfunded liability our state faces is unsustainable, but the state treasurer must be peopledriven in order to find a solution that works for both our public employees and the taxpayers. This task is priority number one.

The treasurer’s office is responsible for managing the Great Colorado Payback, a program that seeks to reunite over $600 million in cash and assets to their rightful owners. I would reform this program to become more proactive in finding the lawful owner of this cash and property. I would also urge the General Assembly to reinstate a moratorium on unclaimed property that would block the state from appropriating the property for its own use.

My first goal will be to reach out personally to each board member of PERA and meet with them — something that no state treasurer has done before. We must create relationships and build bridges to have the conversations necessary to address this enormous challenge. I will also look at our state’s investments and find opportunities for greater return and more realistic expectations so that we do not face further shortfalls in PERA.

The most important thing a treasurer can do is ensure our state’s public dollars are invested safely, transparently and productively. The treasurer is a voting member of the PERA (Public Employees’ Retirement Association) board and can play an active role in restoring PERA to solvency. PERA is Colorado’s pension plan for public employees, and it’s severely underfunded. Finally, the treasurer oversees the Great Colorado Payback program and the Unclaimed Property Trust Fund.

As treasurer, I will work to make sure our public dollars are invested here in Colorado. I will work with the PERA board, the Legislature and governor to restore PERA to solvency in a way that doesn’t leave our seniors out in the cold during retirement. I will solve issues plaguing the Great Colorado Payback program. Right now, the process for people to get their property back from the treasurer’s office is too bureaucratic.

Putting PERA on a sustainable pathway while protecting the defined-benefit plan is my top priority for January. We need to make sure our seniors are not left out in the cold during retirement. In fact, making sure that all citizens in Colorado are planning well for retirement, and saving effectively for their family’s post-secondary education needs, is vitally important. As treasurer, I’ll make sure government works for all of Colorado.

ELECTIONS 2018 1st Congressional District Diana DeGette (Incumbent) Party: Democratic City or town of residence: Denver Profession: Member of Congress Campaign website: degette. com

Casper Stockham Party: Republican City or town of residence: Aurora Profession: Entrepreneur, sales Campaign website: casperforcolorado.com

6th Congressional District Mike Coffman (Incumbent) Party: Republican City or town of residence: Aurora Profession: Member of Congress Campaign website: coffmanforcongress.com

How would choosing you for this office improve the lives of residents of the district?

I’ve made it a priority to fight for expanding health care access, securing funding for medical research, and supporting medical professionals and patient protections. I’m a leading voice on environmental issues in Congress and am working to protect both Colorado’s public lands and our global environment. I’m a strong proponent of women’s reproductive rights. Constituents can count on my continued dedication to these efforts and more if they honor me with re-election this fall.

What should Congress do to address the nation’s opioid epidemic?

We need to understand the role of drug manufacturers and others in bringing the opioid epidemic to the point where it claims 115 Americans’ lives daily. For more than a year, the Energy and Commerce Committee on which I serve has been investigating how issues with the controlled-substances supply chain in this country may have contributed to the epidemic.

Additionally, we need to ensure that the federal fight against opioid addiction is sufficiently funded.

» I’m not of the swamp in any way. I feel called to run for this office, and it is not my life’s goal to live in Washington, D.C. Residents of this district will see me a great deal more than the current incumbent. It’s called servant leadership. My goal is to empower and enhance the lives of the people in the district. A secondary goal is to end the absentee reign of the incumbent.

How would choosing you for this office improve the lives of residents of the district?

My constituents would have an independent voice representing them — someone who is willing to challenge both parties when they’re wrong. They would have someone who deeply understands the district, having grown up in the district and started a small business here. I understand the challenges of the rapidly rising cost of living, which is why I authored legislation that would allow families to save money, tax-free, for the down payment on their first home.

Congress should repeal all laws banning cannabis. As former NFL player, Eugene Monroe said his “pain is never going away. My body is damaged. I must manage it somehow.

Managing it with pills was slowly killing me. Now, I’m able to function and be extremely efficient by figuring out how to use different formulations of cannabis.” Cannabis is a non-addictive alternative to highly addictive opioids. End the ban. The opioid addiction problem is severely reduced.

What should Congress do to address the nation’s opioid epidemic?

We need to crack down on the over-prescription of addictive pain medication, better support people suffering from opioid addiction through expanding opportunities for substanceabuse treatment and improve monitoring of those with access to these drugs. I have voted for and authored bills that take on the opioid epidemic with both Democrats and Republicans.

This is a problem that cannot be fixed in a partisan manner — we need to work together to combat the issue.

Coloradans deserve a fighter who puts people over politics and country over party. Our current representation has failed to deliver on its most fundamental promises — from reforming our immigration system to expanding access to quality and affordable health care. I’ll bring servant leadership back to Washington and never forget to put Coloradans first.

The opioid epidemic is the worst drug-overdose crisis in American history. The number of opioid-related overdoses rose by nearly 28 percent between 2015 and 2016. The Trump administration and its Republicans allies in Congress have simply been too slow to respond. I’ll commit to partnering with local communities to solve this crisis with all the best practices we can find at the national level. Some communities have made real headway here — it should be the federal government’s job to provide the resources and the expertise Colorado needs to make a difference.

How would choosing you for this office improve the lives of residents of the district?

What should Congress do to address the nation’s opioid epidemic?

I have the drive, determination and passion to break things loose in Washington. I’ll work with fellow Representatives to break the log jam in a bipartisan way and start getting things done. I will focus on that not working to please party bosses. I will work to make sure our residents have access to affordable health care and make tax cuts permanent. I will help balance the budget so our children aren’t burdened with debt.

Congress should support states efforts to curb the opioid crisis but do so with caution so those who need opioids have access.

When my mom was diagnosed with cancer the drugs she was prescribed made her last months tolerable. It gave us quality time to enjoy being with mom as a family. So we shouldn’t go overboard on restricting opioid use. Congress can require more education when opioids are prescribed so patients know the risks.

Since I was elected I have never lost sight of the number one reason why I do this job: to help the hard-working folks of the 7th Congressional District. I help improve the lives of Coloradans by focusing on our infrastructure needs, ensuring access to affordable health care, and supporting public education, public lands, and a strong economy with good-paying jobs with opportunities to pursue the training and skills needed to get those jobs.

The first priority is to deliver the much-needed funding and resources for communities fighting this deadly epidemic. There is no one size fits all solution, but we must work to both treat those suffering from this illness and also address the root causes of this epidemic. I voted for the SUPPORT Patients and Communities Act, the Overdose Prevention and Patient Safety Act, and the INTERDICT Act to take meaningful steps to combating the opioid epidemic.

ELECTIONS 2018

What is your position on immigration reform?

What can be done to improve the nation’s health care system?

What are two other issues that demand attention from Congress, and why?

There are many ways in which our nation’s immigration system is broken. Congress must come to a consensus on what needs repairing, and how. From the disgrace of the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy of separating refugee families at the border to the ongoing heartbreak of Dreamers in our communities who just want to remain in the only country they’ve ever known, there is much that needs fixing. As a nation, we are better than this.

After wasting nearly a year on trying to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, the current Republican majority in Congress has finally come to realize that there must be a better way. GOP colleagues have approached me to say they’d like to work on bipartisan solutions. We need to find common ground on matters of mutual concern affecting all our constituents, such as the high cost of health care — especially prescription drugs.

Climate change is the moral imperative of our generation.

Protecting our environment is a top priority. It is also important that Congress stand up for the safety of our citizens and school children. It is time we say “no” to the powerful lobby and “yes” to sensible gun-safety legislation.

Build a wall with border enforcement that regulates trans-border traffic while making it easier for legal immigration — protecting our Colorado citizens. Violations for visa overstays must have greater penalties. Guest-worker penalties should include revocation of legal status, a mandatory return to the home country of the violator and the prohibition of re-entry. Legislation with teeth that increases the penalties for both the illegal immigrant and any company employing illegal immigrants.

Get the government out of health care. We need to reduce government regulations and get out of the way of the doctors and researchers to the greatest extent possible. In effect, the solution is the exact opposite of what President Obama proposed in almost every way. For example, let health insurance be sold across state lines. Let customers be rewarded for finding lower costs with HSAs, preventive care, alternative care to include, chiropractic care, massage, acupuncture.

Two of the biggest issues are cronyism (campaign finance) and corruption. Congressional members and members of the Cabinet must have bans on their working for lobbyists or lobbying themselves for a period equal to the length of their elected or appointed office. Financial disclosures upon election must be compared to financial disclosures at the end of service and the difference, if greater, must be explained under oath. “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” — Lord Acton

What is your position on immigration reform?

What can be done to improve the nation’s health care system?

What are two other issues that demand attention from Congress, and why?

I believe we need to fix our broken immigration system in a manner that keeps families together, secures our borders and strengthens our economy. I have worked across the aisle to author legislation that would give the young people who were brought to this country illegally as kids, through no fault of their own, a path to citizenship. We need immigration laws that are both humane and enforced.

First and foremost, we must preserve protections for those with pre-existing conditions. That is why I voted against the health care bill last year — because it didn’t include those necessary protections. We must reduce the cost of defensive medicine by ending the giveaways to the trial lawyers lobby.

We also need to stabilize the individual insurance market, which has seen unaffordable and annual increases ever since Obamacare was passed.

President Trump has proposed a new Space Force, which would mean billions in new Pentagon bureaucracy. As a longtime opponent of wasteful spending at the Pentagon, I plan on fighting it, as I believe it space operations are best dealt with by the Air Force, and not another level of bureaucracy. We also need to deal with our ballooning deficits and national debt. We can’t keep putting more and more debt on future generations.

The current leadership in Washington has failed to get it done — despite enjoying complete control of Congress and the White House. My policies will focus on a few key elements: smart border control that upholds our laws and protects American interests, legal immigration reform, protection and a path to citizenship for those who came to America as children, keeping families together, and a clear path to citizenship for those who want to follow the law and contribute to our community.

This administration’s efforts to gut the Affordable Care Act are immoral and unproductive. Health care is a right, not a privilege. That means all our efforts should be dedicated toward expanding coverage to every American — not kicking them off their current coverage. We can start by allowing the government to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies and introducing a federal public option into the marketplace. Plans like Medicare X will also make immediate progress by reducing costs and ensuring quality coverage.

Our campaign finance system is in desperate need of reform. I’ve challenged my opponent to join me in refusing to take any corporate PAC money. That money makes our politicians more accountable to big business than to the people they represent. I will also vigorously oppose any effort to privatize the VA. Our government has an obligation to care for the veterans it sends to war on its behalf, and that means keeping their care out of the hands of profitseeking companies that don’t have their best interests at heart.

What is your position on immigration reform?

What can be done to improve the nation’s health care system?

What are two other issues that demand attention from Congress, and why?

We need comprehensive immigration reform to protect our citizens and ensure criminals aren’t coming to our country.

We need to enforce our laws so those legally waiting in other countries have a fair opportunity to come to our country. We also need to treat those new to our country fairly and with compassion. Most of us are immigrants to this country; we need to treat others with the respect we would want for our ancestors.

Like many families, we experienced an increase in our insurance premium and our annual deductible. For one trip to the hospital for stitches for our son we received a bill for $4000.

To improve our health care system we need to manage the profits of hospitals lowering costs and we need insurance companies to be able to compete across state lines so insurance costs decrease.

Two issues needing attention are controlling our escalating national debt and fixing crumbling infrastructure. We need to reduce our national debt and balance the federal budget so our children aren’t responsible for paying the bills we rack up. We need to spend only the money the government brings in every year. And we need to invest in our roads and bridges to be sure we have the infrastructure to support commerce and protect our country.

I strongly support comprehensive immigration reform and believe we need to establish a path to citizenship for people who have not committed any crimes, pay taxes, and are learning English. This includes securing our borders with new technologies, cracking down on organized crime and human trafficking, and streamlining and modernizing the visa process. We must also allow young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children to remain here legally.

The Affordable Care Act has helped millions of Americans and thousands of Coloradans gain access to quality healthcare coverage and protecting individuals with pre-existing conditions. I will work with anyone to improve the ACA and I will continue to fight against attempts to repeal or replace it. I believe we must demand transparency in healthcare prices by requiring public disclosure for every healthcare product, service and procedure so patients can make informed decisions about their healthcare.

Here in Colorado and in many places across the country, we must make sure local infrastructure can keep up with growth and be sustainable for generations to come.

Instead of massive tax cuts for those at the top, we need to fix our roads, bridges, electrical grids, broadband, and water infrastructure. In addition, I believe Congress should pass common sense gun reforms like universal background checks, banning bump stocks, limiting assault weapons, and allowing law enforcement the discretion to intervene if red flags appear warning of impending gun violence. Too many families in Colorado and across the country have been impacted by senseless and preventable gun violence.

ELECTIONS 2018

Get to know the state ballot measures Voters in November will rule on 13 state-level issues

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado voters will decide on 13 state-level measures, addressing big issues like education and road funding, oil and gas setbacks, and congressional redistricting.

The measures are of three types: numbered amendments begin as citizen initiatives, and would be added to the Colorado Constitution. They cannot be altered without another popular vote.

Numbered propositions also begin as citizen initiatives, but if approved become state law, not constitutional amendments.

Lettered amendments are created in the state Legislature and referred to voters for approval.

Amendment 73: school funding Among the more high-profile measures on this year’s ballot, Amend-

ment 73 aims to create new revenue for public education by instituting a complex graduated income tax increase on individuals earning more than $150,000 a year, and increasing the corporate income tax rate from 4.63 percent to 6.0 percent. The measure would also fix residential property tax rates at 7.0 percent, preventing them from falling further due to the Gallagher Amendment.

Proponents say the measure would generate $1.6 billion per year for public education in Colorado, which has seen reductions totaling $7.2 billion since 2010. Colorado’s schools suffer from underfunding, proponents say, leading to inadequate special education and mental health counseling, as well as increasing class sizes and other detrimental outcomes.

Opponents say tax revenue is increasing without tax rate increases, and the measure does not guarantee improved student performance. Tax increases are burdensome on individuals and businesses, they argue, and the measure’s income tax brackets won’t be adjusted for inflation, thus pushing more earners into the brack-

ets over time.

Amendment 74: compensation for property devaluation Though Colorado law already requires government to compensate property owners if their actions totally devalue private property, such as through eminent domain or by enacting regulations that bar construction, Amendment 74 would allow property owners to petition the state for reimbursement of lost partial value of a property due to new laws or regulations, for example if government limited natural gas development on private property, an owner could sue for reduced mineral rights value.

Proponents say the law would help protect real estate, which is the most significant asset many people own.

Opponents say the measure could have unintended consequences, and make governments gun-shy about making decisions beneficial to the state’s environmental health.

Amendment 75: campaign contributions Seeking to level the playing field in state-level elections, Amendment

How would choosing you for this office improve the lives of residents of the district?

Our large and diverse district needs a problem-solver, not a politician, and solving problems starts with compassion, cooperation and listening to what people actually want: Coloradans throughout our district have urged me to fight Washington corruption, secure affordable healthcare, create a fairer economy and bring good jobs to our state, improve our school system, strengthen our trade deals and protect our Colorado way of life. That’s exactly what I’ll work hard to do in Congress.

75 would allow political donors to increase their campaign contributions to candidates to five times the current limits if one or more of the other candidates in the race contributes $1 million or more of their personal funds to the campaign.

Proponents say the measure would reduce the unfair advantages enjoyed by wealthy candidates in political races, and give a better shot to smallfry candidates seeking to get their message out.

Opponents say the measure only increases the money in state politics, thus sending campaign expenditures ever higher.

Proposition 109: bonds for highway projects Previously called the “Fix Our Damn Roads” initiative, Proposition 109 directs the state to borrow up to $3.5 billion to address up to 66 different road and bridge projects around the state. The funds would be raised through bond sales with a total repayment of up to $5.2 billion.

What should Congress do to address the nation’s opioid epidemic?

Congress should improve access to appropriate medical treatment to help people recover from addiction; create a stronger nationwide Prescription Drug Monitoring Program with better training for medical professionals, and fight the factors that lead to addiction such as pain, poverty and depression.

We also need to hold drug manufacturers accountable for misleading patients. I support ongoing funding to Medicaid to help people recover, but my opponent’s plan to cut Medicaid would only worsen this crisis.

Why are you seeking this office?

I was the first in my family to have the opportunity to go to a university thanks to the Presidents Leadership Scholarship offered by CU and Colorado business and civic leaders. This opportunity not only built the foundation for my career but my entire life. After enjoying a successful career I wanted to give back to my university and the state I grew up in, I want to insure every qualified student has the same opportunities I had.

What makes you the best choice for this office?

For the past 30 years, I have worked in increasing levels of executive responsibility for four Fortune 200 companies establishing strategies for growth financially and culturally.

Most recently, I was EVP of Retail Operations for the parent company of VICTORIA’S Secret and Bath&Body Works, where I was directly responsible for over 40,000 associates and a multi-billion dollar operating budget.

» CU faces big challenges — public funding has been cut dramatically while tuitions are through the roof, and there are persistent gaps in enrollment and graduation rates for students of color. I believe Colorado’s flagship university system should be affordable and accessible to every Coloradan.

Whether a student is a Boettcher Scholar, first generation or a non-traditional student (or all three!), I want to ensure that they have the opportunity to attend CU, thrive, and graduate.

I’ve lived in Colorado for 30 years, as a CU scientist, CU educator, CU mom, and Colorado taxpayer. I held a similar position to Regent as a School Board Member for eight years, overseeing a $400 million budget, managing the superintendent with 3,500 employees, and serving 30,000 students, all during the 2008 recession when schools faced devastating funding cuts.

Plus, I have experience increasing diversity and equity in our schools — a challenge for CU.

The money raised would not be enough to cover the total cost of all 66 projects, and project priorities would be determined by the Colorado Department of Transportation and the state Transportation Commission.

Proponents say the measure would address Colorado’s neglected road infrastructure, which they say contributes to traffic congestion and reduces the safety of motorists.

Opponents say the measure could divert funds that could be used for other state priorities, such as education, health care and other infrastructure maintenance.

Proposition 110: sales tax and bonds for transportation Another bill to address Colorado’s roads, Proposition 110 would raise the base state-level sales tax rate from 2.9 percent to 3.52 percent for 20 years to fund transportation projects around the state. The proposition would also authorize the Colorado Department of Transportation to borrow up to $6 billion, with a total repayment cost of up to $9.4 billion, to fund a variety of

transportation projects. A Colorado family making $74,000 a year would pay roughly $130 more a year in sales taxes.

Proponents say the measure would go a long way toward improving Colorado’s deteriorating highways, and that costs only increase the longer maintenance is deferred while population increases.

Opponents say the state should fund road projects with money it already collects, and that sales tax increases disproportionately impact low-income residents.

Proposition 111: reducing payday loan rates Payday loans are big business in Colorado, with 207,000 individuals taking out 414,000 payday loans totaling $166 million in 2016, according to state data. Proposition 111 would limit the annual percentage rate for repayment of the small, short-term loans, lowering the maximum APR to 36 percent down from the current average of 129 percent. Other fees can bring the APR up to roughly 180 percent. Under the proposition, repayment on a $500 loan would be no more than $553, as opposed to the current maximum, which could be as high as $793, not including fees that the proposition would eliminate.

Proponents say the measure would protect low-income consumers in financial crisis from predatory lenders, and give them a better chance to repay loans without becoming trapped in a cycle of debt.

Opponents say the measure could have the unintended consequence of eliminating the payday loan business in Colorado altogether, stripping consumers of easy access to quick cash that can help stave off bounced checks or utility shutoffs.

Proposition 112: oil and gas setbacks Easily the most contentious issue on Colorado’s ballot this year, Proposition 112 would increase the distance that oil and gas development can be built to 2,500 feet from homes, up from the current limit of 500 feet for homes and 1,000 feet from high-occupancy structures. The measure reflects increasing tensions over the presence of oil and gas development in Colorado, where oil production doubled between 2013 and 2017, according to state data. In 2017, there were 54,000 producing wells in Colorado, an increase of 48 percent from 2007. Oil and gas producers paid nearly $500 million in property taxes in 2017, and had many other wideranging economic impacts.

What is your position on immigration reform?

What can be done to improve the nation’s health care system?

We need comprehensive, bipartisan immigration reform, and cooperation in Congress is the only way to achieve lasting policies we can agree and rely on. Like the vast majority of Coloradans, I support an immediate halt to the cruel separation of children from their families. My constituents have urged me to support a path to citizenship for DACA recipients and a federal guestworker program to help our district meet our labor needs. Like any complex challenge, we need to seek out evidence-based solutions.

No American should face bankruptcy or fear losing their insurance due to illness or injury. We can guarantee affordable healthcare to all Americans by using resources wisely, improving access and transparency, making it easier and more affordable for small businesses to provide insurance, and encouraging insurers and providers to compete. I support a public buy-in option for the popular and cost-effective Medicare system and harnessing the negotiating power of Medicare to reduce prescription drug costs.

grandfathered in, but the law would render 85 percent of non-federal land in Colorado off-limits to future oil and gas development.

Proponents say the measure protects residents from potentially harmful health effects of living near oil and gas development, and protects vulnerable natural environments from pollutants. As both residential and resource development encroach on one another, the measure would allow residents greater certainty about the location of future oil and gas apparatus.

Opponents say the measure could have devastating effects on Colorado’s economy, majorly scaling back an industry that provides a wide range of jobs that support other industries.

The measure could also significantly reduce tax revenue that supports numerous state and local agencies.

Amendment A: eliminating slavery in the state constitution A revision of a failed 2016 measure, Amendment A would strike a provision in the Colorado Constitution that bans slavery “except as punishment for a crime.” The idea is to ensure that the state constitution unambiguously bans slavery.

SEE BALLOT, P28

What are two other issues that demand attention from Congress?

A fair economy: We’re working harder than ever before, but incomes haven’t kept pace with our productivity or the cost of living. Fair tax reform will help more Americans build wealth and hang onto the earnings we work so hard for. A better school system: We simply can’t afford to continue neglecting our schools. I will fight to ensure that our teachers and schools get the resources they need.

What else should voters know about you?

Establish and oversee strategic planning and key financial decisions that will directly impact the well being and success of almost 70,000 students and additional thousands of faculty and administration. Selection and oversight of the university system president and senior leadership. Ensure that our flagship state school is affordable for Colorado families.

1) Evaluate and ensure that the cost of a CU education is affordable for Colorado families. 2) Foster and nurture an environment of free speech where critical thinking skills can be developed through vigorous debate. 3) Create an environment on the board where our overarching objectives will be driven by the success of our students not individual objectives. 4) Provide degree programs that enable our students to be competitive and successful in the open market once they leave CU.

I’m a fourth-generation Coloradan who grew up in a blue-collar family from Pueblo. I learned at an early age the importance of self reliance and responsibility from a working mother and a steelworker father of which neither had the opportunity for higher education. Between my scholarship and jobs I paid for 75 percent of my college education and I relished every credit hour I achieved as a step to a better life.

The Board of Regents hires and oversees the President of the University of Colorado system, oversees the University’s $4.5 billion budget (including setting tuition), and develops and oversees the governing policies for CU.

No. 1, hire a new president who is a visionary leader, can collaborate with the University’s diverse stakeholders and is an effective advocate for public and private funding for CU. Number 2, improve affordability for Colorado residents, in spite of drastic cuts to CU’s funding by the Legislature.

Recent efforts by the Boulder campus to keep tuition flat for incoming students and drop class fees are a step in the right direction.

One fun fact: I was the first woman aquanaut to live and work in the Aquarius Underwater Research Lab (think: underwater space station), and I’ve done aquatic research in the Amazon, the Artic and alpine lakes in Colorado.

The commission would consist of four Republicans, four Democrats, and four unaffiliated voters. Lobbyists and politicians would be prohibited from participating, and the commission’s work would be subject to public oversight and commentary. The Supreme Court would rule on the commission’s district maps.

Proponents say the measure makes the redistricting process more transparent and limits the role of partisan politics, and establishes clear criteria for establishing new district boundaries.

Opponents say the commission’s members are not subject to being voted out like members of the Legislature, and that the presence of unaffiliated members could unintentionally stack the commission with partisan members who simply haven’t declared their allegiance.

The 2016 measure failed because of wording that could be construed as banning judicially imposed community service, inmate labor, and probation requiring offenders to maintain employment. While jail inmates in Colorado are not required to work, they face loss of privileges or delayed parole eligibility if they don’t.

Proponents say the measure unequivocally confirms Colorado’s commitment to striking from the books outdated language that prolongs the legacy of slavery.

Opponents say the measure is merely symbolic and could create legal confusion over offender work requirements.

Amendment V: lowering minimum age for state Legislature Colorado’s current minimum age for serving in the state legislature is 25, but Amendment V would lower the minimum to 21. The measure would bring Colorado in line with 43 other states that set the minimum age for serving in state legislative bodies between 18 and 21. About half of states, however, have higher thresholds for serving in state senates — generally between ages 25 and 30.

Proponents say lowering the minimum age encourages young people to participate in the civic process, and allows voters to decide whether a candidate has sufficient maturity to hold office.

Opponents say lack of experience and maturity could make young legislators ineffective.

current ballot language mandates a separate question for each judge up for retention, reading: “Shall justice/ judge … be retained in office?”

Under Amendment W, all judges up for retention would be listed under a single banner reading “Shall the following justices/judges be retained in office?” Each judge’s name would appear next to bubbles for yes or no.

Proponents say the measure makes the ballot more user-friendly and efficient, and may save printing costs for counties with numerous judges or those that print in English and Spanish.

Opponents say the measure is unnecessary and may give voters the impression they’re voting in a multicandidate election.

Amendment W: simplifying ballot language for judicial retention The Colorado Constitution mandates that while the vast majority of the state’s judges are appointed by the governor, they face regular popular votes to decide if they should retain their seat on the bench. Amendment W would change the way retention votes appear on the ballot. The

Amendment X: industrial hemp definition With Colorado now the nation’s largest producer of industrial hemp — a form of the cannabis plant used in commercial applications, with no psychoactive effect — Amendment X would strike the definition of the crop spelled out by Amendment 64, which legalized recreational use of marijuana, and replace the definition with

I support using existing and new sources of revenue to fund projects without sacrificing funding for health care or public schools, connecting Fort Collins to Pueblo with high-speed commuter rail that also supports transitoriented housing development, while making expanding broadband available to every community.

What is the biggest opportunity for economic growth in Colorado?

One of Colorado’s greatest strengths is our diverse economy.

Our future success will depend on ensuring we create good-paying jobs in many different industries across

That’s why we need to unlock the power of our renewableenergy sector, create good-paying Colorado jobs that can never be outsourced; protect and grow our outdoor recreation economy; make sure our agriculture industry can thrive in the face of drought; and make sure Colorado remains a great place to start a business.

If elected, what will your top priority be in January?

Once elected, my administration will immediately get to work to bring universal, full-day preschool and kindergarten to every Colorado community. No child should start off at a disadvantage simply because their parents can’t afford to spend thousands of dollars on a preschool. I’ve been working on education throughout my career — I started schools for at-risk youth — and I’m ready to make it a priority as governor.

the one used in federal law. The idea would be to streamline cooperation with federal law in the event that the U.S. Congress adopts pending legislation loosening restrictions on growing industrial hemp.

Proponents say striking the state definition reduces any potential conflicts between state and federal law as the regulatory landscape for industrial hemp evolves.

Opponents say that the current definition was enacted through the popular initiative process, and changing the wording could weaken voters’ original intent.

Amendment Y: Congressional redistricting Colorado is expected to add a new congressional district after the 2020 census, bringing the state’s number of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives to eight, and requiring a redrawing of district lines to carve out the new one. Previous redistricting efforts, which are conducted by the state legislature, have ended up in lengthy court battles. Amendment Y would create a state commission to conduct congressional redistricting.

Amendment Z would create a commission composed of four Republicans, four Democrats and four unaffiliated members. The commission would be subject to the same public oversight as in Amendment Y, and its maps would have to be approved by the state Supreme Court.

Proponents say the measure makes the redistricting process more transparent and limits the role of partisan politics, and establishes clear criteria for establishing new district boundaries.

AG RACE FROM PAGE 2

was sued for a refusing to adopt an environmental rule, drawing Coffman to back the office’s position, Braucher said. Weiser opposed Coffman’s move, a stance Brauchler said speaks to his ideology.

Weiser questioned those who wouldn’t support certain environmental rules, like Coffman, asking, “If you’re protecting Colorado, why would you be against (methane regulation)?”

Weiser also said the move to end the DACA program — Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which gives protected status to people brought to the U.S. illegally as children — is against the law in his view. He’d fight against separating families at the U.S.-Mexico border, he added, a recent Trump administration practice that was later halted.

“My motivation is not a political motivation; it’s a human motivation,” Weiser said, arguing it’s in step with the rule of law to push against federal action the attorney general believes is illegal, whether the issue is of water or immigrants’ rights.

Brauchler said he hopes Congress comes up with a solution so that immigrants who were brought here illegally as children can stay, but on the issue of sanctuary cities, he said Congress and the Supreme Court have made clear that states have no role in immigration policy.

It’s “anathema to the rule of law” to allow cities to oppose federal immigration policy, Brauchler said.

What are the odds?

Who can pull off the win is an open question between a prosecutor who has cultivated a tough-on-crime image, and a professor with less name recognition who has the opportunity to ride a wave of anti-Trump sentiment among Democrats.

Wadhams, the Republican strategist, said Weiser’s resume doesn’t come close to Brauchler’s.

“What propelled Brauchler to popularity in the GOP was his performance on high-profile cases — the Aurora theater shooting and others,” Wadhams said.

Wadhams bets on Brauchler to win because “I think George will be closer to where most Coloradans are on (the) issues,” he said.

Sondermann took a different view.

“I’d say advantage Weiser, and that has very little to do with Phil Weiser,” Sondermann said, arguing a win would have more to do with Democrats’ potential to have a strong electoral year in general.

Wadhams has mentioned voters in Colorado often “split” their ballot, voting for one party for governor but another for attorney general. Sondermann agreed but said that practice of “splitting” shrinks as the country gets more polarized.

“It’s not like the Colorado of 20 or 30 years ago,” where more of the electorate did that, Sondermann added.

Amid a political climate in which Sondermann has said 2018 could be a “deep-blue year” — and the polarized governor’s race — Wadhams argued the attorney-general contest will be its own.

“It’s a race Colorado voters look on as a very distinct one,” Wadhams said.

SPORTS STUDENT-ATHLETE STUDENT ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

Jack of all trades gets around Jack Kail of Littleton High School is a rare three-sport athlete

T

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

J

ack Kail is a three-sport senior at Littleton, and multisport high school athletes are rare these days.

Longer high school seasons and the pressure to specialize in one sport during the off season have helped make three-sport athletes a rarity.

Kail, however, plays football, basketball and baseball for the Lions and right now is a multipurpose performer on the gridiron “It really depends on the time of year,” he answered when asked which sport his favorite. “I like the contact part of football. It’s fun to get out there and knock heads with somebody. And, I like to run. Each sport complements the other. They kind of overlap.”

Kail, at 5-foot-9, 150 pounds, is a versatile contributor to the football team. He is running back, slot back, free safety, cornerback, plays on special teams and anywhere else coach Kurt Krantz asks.

“I love it,” said Kail. “During a game, I play 90 percent of the plays and afterward I’m pretty beat. Right after a game, I’m pretty much unable do much for a while.

“I’m more of an offensiveminded football player. Playing on offense helps when you are on defense. When you are on offense and you are running and see a hole or something, then you go on defense, you know where that hole is going to be.”

COACH’S TAKE: ‘Three-sport athletes are hard to find these days. He is a great kid who comes from a good family. He does everything we ask him to do and is a good leader.’

Kurt Krantz Littleton football coach

Nothing simple about football playoff format

Jack Kail holds up three fingers representing the number of sports in which he participates. Multi-sport athletes are rare these days.

JIM BENTON

Q&A with Kail Who is your favorite athlete?

Overall, I would say LeBron James. He’s just so dominant and works really hard too.

What or who motivates you most to excel in sports?

Definitely my dad.

He motivates me the most and talks to me about every game. If not my dad, also my brother.

What would be a perfect performance in football?

A win most importantly. A perfect game for me would be a rushing touchdown, a

receiving touchdown and a special teams touchdown.

What is your favorite class in school and why?

History, it interests me and I enjoy it.

What are your plans after high school?

Go to college but I am not sure where yet.

Sports is not out of the question but nothing has really come my way right now.

How hard is it with new rules to make a tackle without getting a penalty?

Certainly with the new rules we’ve gotten

called for a couple helmet-to-helmet hits.

But for a little guy like me that’s not too much of a concern because I go low for the legs and I don’t hit high.

As a running back, is there a tendency to lower your head which might cause a helmetto-helmet hit?

If I’m running through the line with the ball and someone is filling the gap, I raise up a little bit and throw my shoulder into them, give them a pop and that protects you a little bit more than running straight up.

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight?

Email Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Key stats | In six games, Kail has accounted for 350 rushing yards and 103 yards with receptions.

He has been in on 13 total tackles on defense with nine solo tackles.

here are still two weeks remaining in the regular season, but it’s never too early to review the format for the state footOVERTIME ball playoffs.

The Colorado High School Activities Association revealed the post-season plan before the season, and CHSAANow. com recently released the format again.

Jim Benton So here’s what to expect in the playoffs — except for winners and losers. And it is probably best not to try to figure out the ratings percentage index (RPI). Just wait for the standings to be updated.

If anybody does want to figure out an RPI standing for a team, the formula calculates combining 37.5 percent of a team’s winning percentage, 37.5 percent of the opponent’s winning percentage and 25 percent of opponents’ opponents’ winning percentage.

So, here’s the basic, nondetailed outline for the Class 5A playoff bracket.

The six league winners receive automatic berths into the playoffs and draw first-round byes. The next 17 teams in the RPI rankings will advance into the post-season with the exception of a second team from the Metro 10 Conference.

That’s 23 teams with the last spot in the 24-team 5A playoffs going to an at-large team selected by the seeding committee.

The Metro 10 will have its champion advance into the playoffs, but the league can only have a second team qualify through an at-large berth.

Final RPI rankings, common opponents, strength of schedule, head-to-head matchups and, hopefully, a little common sense will be used to seed teams.

RPI standings change weekly and, with two more weeks remaining, there should be a lot of movement.

The Oct. 7 RPI standings for 5A had a bunch of bubble teams around the all-important 24th spot.

Lakewood was 21st, followed in order by Far Northeast, Horizon, Boulder, Fossil Ridge, Northglenn and Legend.

Arapahoe takes fifth at state tennis tourney Back-to-back runner-up finishes frustrate Cherry Creek

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cherry Creek junior Nick Svichar had fun celebrating with his tennis teammates, taking turns holding a trophy and posing for pictures with it.

However, it was a state runner-up prize, and Svichar later took some time Oct. 13 to share the reality of the situation on the court at Gates Tennis Center.

“Yeah, most teams would like to get a runner-up trophy,” said Svichar.

“But we have been the state runnersup for the past two years and that’s not what is expected for Cherry Creek. We just have to go back to work for next season.”

Regis Jesuit won the state championship with 76 points to 65 for Creek.

Arapahoe came in fifth with 25 points and Valor Christian rounded out the top 10 with 11 points.

Regis and Creek locked up in the battle for state supremacy but, as Svichar admits, the Bruins were outArapahoe Cole Trautman ran second Oct. 11 in the Centennial League cross country championships with a time of 16:37.00. The junior helped the Arapahoe boys to a third-place finish in the team standings. Sophomore Megan Bergstrom was the leading Warriors runner in the girls race with a 17thplace finish.

The softball team competed in the Region 5 state qualifying tournament at Rolland Moore Park in Fort Collins on Oct. 13. The Warriors edged Castle View, 4-3, but then lost to Fossil Ridge, 1-0. In the game to determine the second regional qualifier to the state 5A tournament, Arapahoe lost 5-0 to Castle View and saw its season end with a 17-9 record.

Grandview rolled up 399 yards in total offense on Oct. 11 in recording a

Arapahoe senior Tyler Landen eyes his backhand return as he avenged an earlyseason loss to Cherry Creek’s George Cavo with a 6-3, 6-3 win in the No. 1 singles third-place match on Oct. 13 at the 5A state tennis tournament at the Gates Tennis Center in Denver.

JIM BENTON played in the semifinal rounds.

Both Regis and Creek had three singles and three doubles teams advance into the semifinals on Oct. 12.

However, Creek won only two semifinal matches, while Regis won five of the six semifinal matches, which gave the Raiders a commanding lead going into the final round of the three-day tournament.

On campus: 42-14 win over the football team. The Warriors face Eaglecrest on Oct. 18.

The boys soccer team dropped a 2-1 decision to Cherokee Trail on Oct. 11 in a game to determine first place in the Centennial League. Cameron Gail scored for the Warriors (11-1-2), which saw their 13-game unbeaten streak snapped.

Cherry Creek The football team, topranked in the CHSAANow.com poll, overcame six penalties, poor punting and a 13-0 deficit after the first half to rally for a 14-13 win over fourth-

Cherry Creek did well in the playbacks but not enough to make a difference in the final standings.

The Bruins’ No. 2 doubles team of Andrew Marocchi and Matt Batmunkh defeated Will Franks-George Weaver, Denver East, 6-1, 6-1, to win Creek’s lone state title. Svichar downed Boulder’s Alex McCoy, 6-4, 7-6, to get third at No. 2 singles and was one of four third-place finishes for Creek.

In the past 46 seasons, Creek’s boys tennis teams have won 42 state titles, which makes the past two secondplace finishes so unusual. Fairview edged the Bruins to take the 2017 title.

It was Regis’ performance in the semifinals that made a big difference as the Raiders took a nine-point lead into the finals, and only needed three wins on Oct. 13 to claim the school’s second state crown in eight seasons.

The Raiders won state championships in three positions, were second in two others and claimed one thirdplace finish. Four victories came during the final round.

“We had six semifinalists and they had six, but they put five into the finals,” said Creek coach Art Quinn.

“If we would had stayed equal, then we would have battled head-to-head.

They honored the 1978 Bruins team

News and notes from local high school sports programs ranked Eaglecrest on Oct. 12. Creek, which forced three turnovers during the game as Vance Brazile recovered two second-half fumbles, used a 3-yard touchdown run by Jayle Stacks, along with Mac Willis’ extra-point kick, to gain a 14-13 lead with 7:54 left in the game. Eaglecrest had an extra-point conversion after its second touchdown foiled by a bad snap, and the Raptors missed a 35-yard field goal with 59 seconds to play in the game.

Sophomore Parker Wolfe was crowned the Centennial League boys cross country champion after winning the league meet on Oct. 11 with a time of 16:14.00. The Bruins boys won

when they announced the opening matches. I was able to track down five p t of the nine players. It was hard to believe that was 40 years ago, so that a P was nice.”

In other matches involving players from South Metro schools, Arapahoe 1 senior Tyler Landen downed Creek’s i George Cavo in the third-place match r in No. 1 singles to avenge an earlier N loss to Cavo.

“I think I played pretty well since I lost to him in three sets in the regular p season,” said Landen. “I had a differ- m ent mindset. I knew what I was going i to do and came out and executed pretty well. I knew I could beat him if I put my mind to it — which I did.”

Valor Christian’s Nick Solimene garnered nine of the 11 points scored by the Golden Eagles as he captured F third at No. 3 singles with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Ryan Wood of Arapahoe.

“I hurt my knee again and had to play through that,” said Solimene. “I played well. I just rallied and came in on balls that were short. I had a torn ACL and it gave out, but I played my game and it worked out. Last November I had ACL and PCL surgery, but right before I was getting cleared I found out I had torn my ACL again.

But I just played through it this season.”

C

the team championship as the next four scoring runners finished 15th, 18th, 19th and 20th. Freshman Riley Stewart was second in the girls race with a time of 18:32.00 and the girls had five girls in the Top 10 but came in second behind Cherokee Trail. The seven Creek girls runners were all underclass athletes with three freshmen, one sophomore and three juniors.

The top-ranked field hockey team tied Kent Denver, 1-1, on Oct. 13 with Isabella Balbona scoring the goal for the Bruins.

In the Oct. 13 Region 3 softball tournament, the Bruins lost to Regis Jesuit, 12-2, but then earned a 6-5 win over Northglenn. Regis downed the Bruins, 5-4, in the game to determine the second regional team to advance into the 5A state tournament. Creek finished the season with 15-11 record.

October 15, 2018

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Some misunderstandings resist being resolved. But your sincerity in wanting to soothe those hurt feelings wins the day. By month’s end, that relationship should begin to show signs of healing.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A hectic job schedule begins to ease just in time to blow off all that work-generated steam on Halloween.

A family situation runs into an unexpected complication.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A cutting remark in the workplace needs to be handled with finesse. Remember: How you respond could determine the depth of support you gain from colleagues.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Once again, that Capricornean stubborn streak sets in and could keep you from getting much-needed advice. Fortunately, it lifts by week’s end, in time to make an informed decision.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A surprise trip early in the week could lead to other unexpected offers when you return. Word to the wise: Avoid talking too much about this until you’ve made some decisions.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Learning dominates the week for perspicacious Pisceans, who are always looking to widen their range of knowledge. A series of important job-linked commitments begins late in the week.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of humor generates good feelings and good will everywhere you go.

1400 + square feet 2 bedrooms, 1 & 1/2 baths, Patio, 2 car carport, Basic Cable included Swimming Pool/Playground Washer/Dryer, Air Conditioning, Fresh Updates, No Pets, No Smokers, $1545/month $1545 deposit 303-345-5749

Caring for our Community by

call, text, or e-mail

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The high standards you set for yourself don’t always translate into the behavior you expect of others. That relationship problem can be resolved if you’re more flexible and less judgmental.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Not enough party bids to satisfy the Bovine’s fun-loving side this week?

Go ahead and throw one of your own.

Then prepare for some serious work coming up early next week.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A new and intensely productive cycle is about to kick in. Be careful not to get too stressed out, though. Make time to restore your energies by relaxing with family and friends.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This could be a good time to share some of your plans with those closest to you.

Their comments could give you some added insight into how you might accomplish your goals.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) An attack of self-doubt might be unsettling for the usually super-assured Feline.

But it could be your inner voice telling you to hold off implementing your plans until you’ve reassessed them.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a great time for you to reward yourself for all your hard work by taking a trip you haven’t spent months carefully planning, to somewhere you never thought you’d be going.
