Hudak resigns, Sigg sentenced The Top 10 sTories of The year

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com From justice served in the case of a murdered little girl, to the recall of a state senator, 2013 brought a variety of news to the community of Westminster. Below is a list of the top ten stories of 2013 in no particular order.

Sigg sentencing Last year it was the murder of a 10-yearold girl that shocked the north metro area, and this year it was the conviction of Austin Sigg to life in prison that brought needed justice to not only the community of Westminster, but to the entire state of Colorado.

On Nov. 19, Jefferson County District Court Chief Judge Stephen Munsinger sentenced 18-year-old Sigg to life in prison, with the possibility of parole after 40 years, plus an additional 86 years for the kidnapping and murder of Jessica Ridgeway. Although Sigg is eligible for parole, due to the sentencing of the 14 other counts, he will live the rest of his life behind bars.

The sentencing came after one and half days of testimony and comments from Jessica Ridgeway’s family. After the conclusion, District Attorney Pete Weir said he was pleased with the outcome and thought the judge’s sentence was thoughtful and appropriate.

Just days before trial was set to begin, Sigg had a change of heart and changed his initial “not guilty” plea, to guilty on all counts relieving both the Ridgeway and Sigg families the heartache of reliving the day Sigg kidnapped and murdered Jessica Ridgeway.

She simply said, “I am not saying anything because the defendant doesn’t deserve to hear how this has affected me emotionally. I will not remember him after I walk out these doors, I’ll only remember Jessica and her legacy.”

Sigg chose not to make a statement to the judge before or after his sentencing, and his family members present also did not approach the judge Jessica disappeared on Oct. 5, 2012 on

Parts of her body were found in Arvada and later in Sigg’s home.

Sigg admitted to kidnapping and murdering Jessica to his mother before law enforcement was called. He was arrested on Oct. 23, 2012.

Jail cap The Adams County sheriff and police chiefs are at an impasse regarding the amount of municipal inmates that should be housed at the county jail.

Thornton, Westminster, Aurora, Commerce City and Brighton police chiefs aired public safety concerns related to inmates being turned away from the Adams County jail during a press conference May 28 at the Thornton Police Department.

Sheriff Doug Darr responded with his own press conference May 29.

Darr said that budget cuts and hiring Justice continues on Page 2

restrictions made by the board of county commissioners a couple years ago impacted the jail staffing.

The cap restriction, which began on Jan. 1, 2012, stood at 30 and was divided among nine municipalities based on their population in Adams County.

The caps, set by Sheriff Doug Darr, were as follows: Thornton, eight; Westminster, five; Aurora and Commerce City, four apiece; Northglenn and Brighton, three each; and one each for Federal Heights, Arvada and Bennett.

The commissioners unanimously approved during its April 15 meeting to rescind the caps placed on the number of inmates sent by cities to the county jail. However, the jail did turn away inmates in May. Aurora Chief Dan Oates at the May 28 press conference that these prisoners were sentenced for crimes that included shoplifting, trespassing, misdemeanor battery, motor vehicle theft and prostitution and all had a criminal history.

The sheriff disputed the claim that he released violent offenders into the community, saying that in the past he’s seen inmates sentenced to jail for petty offenses such as obscene language, open container and one person who was sentenced for 360 days for loitering.

September floods damage parts of Adams County

While Adams County didn’t experience the amount of damage other cities did during the flooding in September 2013, some repairs may take a few years.

Parts of northern Adams County were affected by the flooding including Riverdale Golf Course and the Regional Park. Rich Neumann, communications manager with Adams County, said the gulch that runs through those two areas caused flooding and erosion in several places including the newly created reservoirs between the Regional Park and 120th Avenue. The Regional Park shop was also flooded as well as the Riverdale Golf Shop.

“All combined, the county’s estimated damage at the Park is about $637,000. This figure does not include any damages at the golf course—only the Regional Park,” he said. “The Golf Shop is still determining their damages.”

Even after slowed rain, Neumann said parts of Colorado Boulevard between State Highway 7 and 168th Avenue remained closed due to significant damage to the road surface and foundation. Additional damage also oc-

January 2, 2014 curred at retention ponds, parks and trails.

As for the cost facing the county in terms of road and bridge damage, Neumann said the county is estimating around $400,000 for repairs, which is only a preliminary cost estimate as teams are working to gather more information to compile a more comprehensive estimate.

City takes steps toward development of Westminster Center

The city of Westminster hosted two open houses displaying the draft plans for the new downtown on the site of the former Westminster Mall in September 2013, giving residents the opportunity to put their two cents in on what they thought of the plans.

The plans, which includes multistory office and residential buildings, unique public space and vibrant shopping areas, were initially revealed to city council and the community on Aug. 26. The city is working closely with urban planning firm Torti Gallas and Partners to design the 105-acre space at US 36 and Sheridan Boulevard, and full build-out will take 20 to 30 years. Before beginning the planning process, the city hosted an open house last year to gain input and knowledge on what the community wants to see out of their downtown.

“We took all the suggestions and comments from the first open house as well as the comments and vision of city council and staff to come up with the design,” city planning manager Mac Cummins said . “We think we have a win-win-win here. The plan is a combination of public outreach and discussion with city council and what we came up with is a cultural gathering place.”

Cummins said key components of the development include land uses, public parks and plazas, multimodal circulation and access to transit, urban design, development flexibility and taking advantage of the views from the Front Range and the views in the actual downtown area.

Work begins on Interstate 25 toll lanes

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) began work on the I-25 project Oct. 7 that creates a high occupancy vehicle (HOV) tolled express lanes from U.S. 36 to 120th Avenue. The project, which is expected to be completed in October 2015, calls for the construction of six miles of a new managed lane in each direction. This work includes lowering I-25 at the 88th Avenue bridge to meet clearance regulations, repaving of the road and installing approximately 3,700 feet of new concrete noise walls.

Some of the work will require CDOT to switch traffic on either side and there will be a public campaign to alert motorists of what to expect, The express lanes will be separated from the general purpose lanes by solid white lines instead of barriers.

There will be designated ingress and egress zones situated between each interchange so motorists can get in and out of the managed lanes easily, Stratton said.

Although CDOT does not have pricing information at this time on transponders, HOVs using the managed lanes will be required to have one.

Right now to be designated as a high occupancy vehicle, there must be at least two passengers in the vehicle.

That number increased to three in 2017.

The project has $59.3 million in total funding, made possible through a mixture of federal, state and local contributions. The funding: $15 million from the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program, $30.33 million from other federal funds, $8.7 million from the state, $1.75 million from Thornton, $1.5 million from Adams County, $750,000 from the Regional Transportation District (RTD), $550,000 from Northglenn, $500,000 from Westminster, $150,000 from Federal Heights, $50,000 from Broomfield and $25,000 from Weld County.

2013 mayor and city council election

The November 2013 election welcomed a new Westminster mayor and three new city council members. Herb Atchison was elected mayor, beating out current councilman Bob Briggs and former councilwoman Mary Lindsey.

He earned 41 percent of the votes.

After his victory, Atchison said he was looking forward to the next four years, hoping to get some movement for-

ward in the city including the development of the former mall site.

The three open council seats were filled by Emma Pinter, Bruce Baker and Alberto Garcia, taking over the spots left by Mary Lindsey, Mark Kaiser and Scott Major, who’s terms ended in November 2013.

With Atchison’s election to mayor, an appointment of a councilor by city council was required to avoid a special election. On Dec. 9, council unanimously appointed Anita Seitz as the newest member to represent the city for the next two years, filling the vacant seat created by Atchison’s election to mayor. Seitz was up against 13 other people who applied for the seat, each person interviewed by city council a week before the official vote.

During a Dec. 2 study session, council discussed the candidates and took an unofficial poll to gain a consensus on the top two candidates council was leaning towards.

Seitz and David Aragoni were unofficially polled as the top two candidates. Another poll was taken between Seitz and Aragoni and although Seitz name was not said, it was clear who the council chose as their top candidate in the unofficial vote.

During city council meeting, no discussion was done before or after the official vote. After Seitz was sworn in

by Westminster Municipal Judge John Stipech, she immediately took her seat, the meeting was adjourned and council reconvened as the Westminster Economic Development Authority.

Jessica Ridgeway Memorial Park dedication

With the sun shining bright and children laughing, the community of Westminster and the Ridgeway family celebrated the dedication of the Jessica Ridgeway Memorial Park on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2013 the one-year anniversary of Jessica Ridgeway’s disappearance.

Hundreds of people wearing purple, Jessica’s favorite color, came together to honor the life of Jessica and her legacy, which will be remembered by a park created and built in the 10-year-old’s name and memory. In October 2012, Jessica was kidnapped while walking to school and later killed by Austin Sigg, 18.

During the dedication ceremony Westminster Police Chief Lee Birk held back tears describing how Jessica’s life has taught the community to love and care more, and although he had never met Jessica, himself and several other law enforcement would agree that they were profoundly touched by Jessica and came to feel as though she was their own daughter.

“Jessica brought out what is good and right in people in our community. This park is part of Jessica’s legacy, but what it really signifies is the lessons Jessica taught us,” he said. “She taught us that family is important, we all should be better neighbors and community members and we all should care and love more because life is short and these things are what are most important.”

For months work has been done on the park, which was formerly known as Chelsea Park, at 10765 Moore St., by many volunteers and city staff and is now open to the public. Its design is a reflection of Jessica, including the color purple and a teeter-totter resembling a giant green dragonfly, an insect she was studying for a project at school before she died. There is also a large butterfly sculpture at the front of the park, which according to former classmate Layla Iverson it’s a perfect fit because Jessica was fascinated by butterflies.

The official ceremony ended with the release of 10 balloons by the Ridgeway family in honor of Jessica’s 10 years of life, but the celebration of her was just beginning.

As balloons floated up to the sky, youngsters ran to the playground with smiles on their faces and energy in their shoes, jumping, swinging and climbing, enjoying a park that will always be a reminder of a little girl who loved her family, the color purple, butterflies and animals.

Bridges replaced, construction continues on US 36

With the U.S. 36 Express Lanes project in full-swing, bridges along the highway got a needed facelift. On March 21, 2013 the Colorado Department of Transportation began bridge girder and deck panel installation on the Wadsworth Parkway bridge. This was just the beginning of Justice continues on Page 11

County to address retail marijuana New year brings list of challenges

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@ ourcoloradonews.com The new year brings a new start for local representatives as they press on with initiatives, campaigns and plans for more refined goals.

The Jeffco Board of County Commissioners sat down with the Transcript individually to discuss some of 2013’s commissioner initiative highlights and what the public can expect in 2014.

On the forefront for county matters in 2014 includes the budget and how Amendment 64 will operate in unincorporated Jeffco with the development of a marijuana task

CommissionerF aye Griffin, District One

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@ coloradocommunitymedia.com While Commissioner Faye Griffin has worked on the Child and Youth Leadership Commission, she announced in mid-2013 her intention to run for County Clerk and Recorder during the 2014 county election.

She previously held the position from 1998 to 2006.

After two terms as county clerk, she was elected to county treasurer for two Griffin years. She assures any campaign work will be secondary to her role as county commissioner as she voiced interest in being the chairperson for the board for 2014 during staff briefings on Dec. 24.

“I do enjoy work, I love the county,” Griffin said. “I never ever considered myself as a politician.”

County employees are most important in government operations, Griffin said, who

Commissioner Casey Tighe, District Two

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@ coloradocommunitymedia.com As board member of the Community Corrections Board and Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee, Commissioner Casey Tighe spent the last year working toward the initiative to relocate the ICCS community corrections building located at the New York Building on 1651 Kendall St., in Lakewood. ICCS which stands for Intervention Community Corrections Services

force organized by Jeanie Rossillon, development and transportation director.

“We need to address how we are going to implement retail marijuana,” Commissioner Don Rosier said. The county will be working toward placing the issue on the ballot for residents in unincorporated Jeffco to decide if retail marijuana will be allowed as the county monitors how Jeffco cities organize pot shops that will be opening after the first of the year.

Commissioner Faye Griffin said transportation is going to be another focus for pending county matters and it is possible a WestConnect coalition will be formed.

“We’ve got to do something about transportation,” Griffin said. “The state didn’t plan ahead on what they’re going to do about the highways.”

The 2014 operating budget will be an ongoing discussion throughout the year as it came out with a $350.5 million fund but commissioners are concerned with future

spending and budget cuts may be expected for 2015.

“We’re increasing taxes while we’re spending way more than what we’re bringing in and that’s not responsible government,” Rosier said.

The budget was passed 2-1 with Rosier voting against the spending plan’s 1.5 mill increase. Since 2011, the county has had a 6 percent decrease in property tax revenue resulting in the depletion in the county’s savings to help fund operations. The mill levy is expected to provide $11 million in revenue this year as the county will take $9.9 million from their reserve which leaves $29.8 million for 2015.

“Hopefully this year we’re going to be a little bit more strategic and try to establish some strategic goals,” Tighe said. “I don’t think the board has really taken a look at what level of reserves we should have, so I think we need to as a board talk about what our bud-

get should look like, what our fund level balance should be.”

Reserves can be used to help fund unexpected expenses such as county emergencies like the September floods which caused unprecedented damage to Jeffco’s parks, businesses, neighborhoods, roads and highways.

Figures related to monetary damages are still being assessed.

The commissioners will take another look at the budget in January, with continued discussions throughout the year, instead of waiting for budget talks in the fall. “We need to be making these decisions earlier rather than later,” Tighe said.

A 3 percent increase in pay for county employees was implemented, an increase which has not been seen since 2009. Commissioner Rosier stated the budget needs to be more sustainable outside of tax increases in order to ensure that employees receiving pay increases can have a job in the next three years.

has been an employee herself. She worked for 24 years in the clerk’s office and has achieved a 40-year county career. She says she believes in maintaining an honest work ethic and considers herself a rule-follower.

“Rules are rules and I try to follow rules,” she said.

She’s been told “you can’t go home again” but Griffin is optimistic. “We’ll see what happens,” she said. “If I’m not elected then I will continue my term here and then maybe, maybe I would retire but maybe I would just look for something to do.”

It is unlikely that Griffin will ever voluntarily cease to be involved in government or civic organizations. She likes to keep her mind sharp and her body moving. Her office is full of Christmas decorations she has collected over the years, and some decorations she has received through friendships she has made. She still has a white elephant that was given to her by former County Clerk and Recorder Norm Allen for a Christmas gift exchange 40 years ago.

“I do love the county, and I love my office, but I love my other offices too,” she said.

Should she be elected to county clerk and recorder, her replacement will be decided by a Republican vacancy committee.

Commissioner Don Rosier, District Three

The Forest Health Initiative, presented to fellow commissioners in early September, proposes 40 collection slash sites throughout the year where slash will be collected and processed on site. The processed material will then be hauled down to the Denver Botanical Gardens site at Chatfield, who are partners in the iniRosier tiative, and laid into wind rows on four acres of land.

The initiative presented

by Commissioner Rosier was contrived by Bret Roller, an Indian Hills resident who stated the Forest Health Initiative creates a sustainable solution through collection, processing and biomass composting of slash.

Since September, Rosier has put together a team of “subject matter experts” who met with other working experts in the field

of bio diversity, renewable energy, disposal services and the Colorado Department of Natural Resources to help organize the project scheduled to begin by this summer.

“The Forest Health Initiative is moving along quite well,” Rosier said.

He referenced Boulder’s slash recycling facility which shares similarities with Rosier’s initiative and has become a model for how it the initiative may work.

“We are in the process of putting out onto the street a request for proposal for a third party agency to come in and do that type of work,” as in the slash collection processing mitigation, he said.

The current issue Rosier faces when looking to Boulder is the cost for water needed to help turn waste into compost which costs about $44 a ton to move to a landfill. Commissioner Rosier is working with numbers for a base amount starting at $4.

“We’re trying to develop a program that will be cost effective for all of the citizens of Jefferson County plus provide an environmental benefit,” he said.

is a privately-owned facility that offers an alternative to prison in which offenders are placed in the “community” as they learn to transition from criminal life to becoming a responsible resident. Halfway through the year, Tighe was met Tighe with angry protest from Jeffco residents who felt blindsided by a deal made with Colorado Investment and Development Company who would buy property near West Colfax and Wide Acres Road for the new ICCS location in exchange for the New York Building.

The deal was abandoned and Tighe

began the hunt for a new location all over again by starting with an educational tour to municipalities in Jeffco explaining the county’s initiative and welcoming feedback and support. The tour will conclude in January in Edgewater.

“We had advocates we didn’t anticipate on councils when we went around to talk

about community corrections,” Tighe said.

“Our next phase is trying to talk to business leaders in the community.”

Tighe predicts that as early as February, the county will begin to hone in on location sites for ICCS. Ideal locations sites would be in a light industrial development, and be in close proximity to mass transit systems.

The significant legislative events in 2013

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The one thing that everyone of any political stripe can agree on when looking back at the 2013 legislative session is that a whole lot happened. The furious pace lasted 120 days. But the political and policy impact of last year’s session will be felt indefinitely.

Here are the top stories from the 2013 legislative session:

Guns, guns, guns. Did we mention guns?

There is no way to overstate the significance that gun legislation had on Colorado politics in 2013.

Democrats scored major victories in passing bills that led to universal background checks on gun sales and limited the number of rounds that can be held in high-capacity ammunition magazines.

The legislation attempts made national headlines and even prompted a visit from President Barack Obama, who touted Colorado’s gun-control efforts as a model for the nation.

Gun bills did not get off the ground in Congress, in spite of tragedies such as the Aurora theater shooting and Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre taking place in the same year. Yet in Colorado — a perennial swing state — Democrats made changes.

But two key pieces of the Democrats’ gun package failed: One that sought to ban concealed weapons from being carried on college campuses and another that would have held assault gun manufacturers and owners liable for crimes committed with those weapons.

Still, state Democrats did what couldn’t be done at the national level. But there were consequences to their actions.

Total recall

The gun bills were met with fiery Capitol protests by progun groups during the session. They and Republican law-

Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, left, speaks in support of his civil unions bill Feb. 28 at a rally at the state Capitol. Standing next to him are bill co-sponsors House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, and Rep. Sue Schaefer, D-Wheat Ridge. File photo makers warned that Democrats would rue the day they chose to embark on those efforts.

That certainly was the case for three Democratic legislators.

The Democratic majority in the Senate shrunk to a single vote after Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs and Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo lost separate recall elections that were spurred by their votes on gun bills. Two Republicans will take over their seats in the Senate this year.

The recall movement didn’t stop there. Facing a potential recall election of her own, Sen. Evie Hudak of Westminster resigned rather than risk handing power over to Republicans in the Senate.

The recalls served as a reminder of just how powerful the gun lobby is in Colorado.

The Future School Finance Act was a big win for Democrats in the spring – but it ultimately fell flat in November.

Senate Bill 213 — which turned into ballot measure Amendment 66 — sought to overhaul school funding formulas. It also would have brought about full-day kindergarten for all children and would have provided more resources for at-risk youth.

But voters didn’t care for the nearly $1 billion price tag that came with the reforms. They flatly rejected Amendment 66 on Election Day. Supporters can bring the issue to the ballot a few more times. But what the strategy will be going forward remains to be seen.

Pulling the lever with greater ease

House Bill 1303 overhauled how elections are conducted in the state. It enabled same-day voter registration and requires that ballots be mailed to all voters.

Democrats — as well as a bipartisan majority of county clerks across the state — hailed the legislation as a way of modernizing an antiquated system, one that they say will lead to greater participation in the voting process.

But Republicans, including Secretary of State Scott Gessler, warned that same-day voter registration would lead to more cases of voter fraud and that the changes would be costly for individual counties to implement.

Gays celebrate

After back-to-back defeats in previous sessions, a bill that created civil unions for gay couples finally passed the Legislature and was signed into law in 2013.

The bill passed with bipartisan support in both legislative

chambers.

It marked the first year since the bill was introduced two years earlier that it received a vote on the floor of the House.

In the two previous sessions, the legislation had been killed by Republican-controlled House committees.

Several gay Democratic lawmakers were instrumental in the bill’s passage. They included House Speaker Mark Ferrandino and Sen. Pat Steadman, both of Denver.

The victory was a bittersweet one for Steadman, whose life partner died of cancer in the fall of 2012.

Finally, after all these years

Ten years after it was first introduced in the Legislature, a bill that aims to help immigrant students attend college in Colorado became law.

Senate Bill 33, which allows undocumented students to attend Colorado colleges and universities at in-state tuition rates, received bipartisan support in both legislative chambers.

The bill requires that students attend a Colorado high school for at least three years. It also requires that students actively seek legal U.S. residency status.

The powerful oil and gas lobby

For the most part, efforts to further regulate oil and gas industry activities failed in the Legislature this year.

Fueled by efforts by several Colorado cities to halt the practice of hydraulic fracking, Democratic lawmakers introduced a package of bills aimed to put in place tighter regulations on oil and gas industry practices.

But those bills — including one that sought to change the mission of the Oil and Gas Commission to a more environmentally-friendly one, and another that sought higher fees on companies that cause toxic spills — failed.

Although those bills died, the calls to seek tighter regulations on oil and gas activities continue. Those efforts gained momentum in November, when voters in Boulder, Fort Collins and Lafayette approved anti-fracking city ordinances.

The death penalty doesn’t part

Colorado’s death penalty remained on the books following this year’s session.

A bill that sought to repeal the death penalty failed to survive a legislative committee in March. But the repeal effort lost steam after Gov. John Hickenlooper hinted that he would Events continues on Page 11

Tides turning the Jefferson County Staff Report Elections, budget constraints and developments pretty much sums up the year for Jefferson County. Here is a list of the Top 5 stories of the year that made a huge impact on the county:

School board tide turns

The Jefferson County school board took a sharp turn to the right after three reform candidates were swept into power in November.

District voters overwhelmingly supported the candidacies of Ken Witt, John Newkirk and Julie Williams. The conservative trio soundly defeated their progressive opponents.

Their victories came on the same night that voters across the state soundly rejected a major school finance ballot measure, and where reform candidates also took over seats in Denver and Douglas Counties.

The election results highlighted an eventful year for Jeffco Schools; one which saw two board members decide against running for re-election, while another resigned after having moved out of the district. After the results, longtime Superintendent Cindy Stevenson announced that she will retire at the end of June.

Dewild convictions

In July 2003, a week before their divorce was to be finalized, Daniel DeWild lured Heather DeWild — mother of his two children — into the garage of his Edgewater home.

There he killed her while their children, 3 and 5, watched TV in the next room. He hanged her body from the rafters while he wrapped it up for disposal. He then instructed his twin brother David DeWild to drive the body into the mountains to be disposed.

Heather DeWild’s body would be found in Clear Creek Canyon only a few months later, but it would be nearly a decade before Daniel DeWild would be held accountable for the crime, pleading guilty to the murder.

In March 2013, Daniel DeWild was sentenced to 74 years in prison in a courtroom not far from where Heather’s body was found, a final chapter of a case that had haunted Heather DeWild’s family, and county investigators.

Residents rally against community corrections

County commissioners received a flood of protest from Jeffco residents during their business meeting on Aug. 6 after the public learned about a land exchange agreement between the county and Colorado Investment and Development Company.

The agreement allowed the company to buy property near West Colfax and Wide Acres Road in order to build a new community correction facility for ICCS, and then swap the site for the New York building on Kendall street, which is where ICCS is cur-

TOP FIVE IN JEFFERSON COUNTY rently located.

Commissioner Tighe who is leading the relocation initiative decided to abandon the deal. In September, Tighe announced he would be holding an educational tour to municipalities in the county to present information on community corrections, its functions and why the county is interested in relocating the proposed correctional facility.

The commissioners plan to meet with Edgewater in early January, and pick a new location soon after. As part of the tour, commissioners will request city council members for their input on potential site locations and financial assistance options.

“One of the lessons we learned is we needed to engage the community more,” Tighe said. “Our process wasn’t as good as it could have been.”

Holy Family High School senior James Fross has obtained a perfect score on his SAT. Nationally out of 1,660,047 SAT test takers in 2013, only 494 received a perfect score. After graduating, Fross plans on attending college and earning a degree in engineering, and will work in either corporate petroleum or chemical engineer-

Summer ended with a gush of water as record rainfall wreaked havoc in parts of the state including Jefferson County. Residents in Coal Creek Canyon faced similar situations seen in Boulder County with residents leaving their homes via rescue efforts with washed out drive ways, exposed culverts and gas lines, and not running water or electricity.

To date, Jeffco has not released numbers regarding county damage, but in Sep-

ing. Fross attributes his success to Holy Family for “instilling a strong work ethic and curriculum that fosters a good education that helped him prepare for the SAT.” Holy Family Students have accomplished perfect scores for 3 years running, with Braden Fallett 2012 and Tyler Hsin 2013 each receiving perfect scores on the ACT, and now Fross’s perfect SAT.

WESTMINSTER WINDOW

Curling center glides into Lakewood The Denver Curling Center officially

broke ground on Oct. 29 at the site’s location at 14100 W. Seventh Ave., near the Colorado Mills shopping area.

The Denver Curling Center will be the first of its kind in Colorado and house the Denver Curling Club, who has had trouble with ice time for practices at the Ice Ranch in Littleton. Now they will be able to have tournaments.

The facility is estimated to cost $2.5 million with a goal to complete construction by spring 2014.

Sitting on 4.7 acres, the Denver Curling Club will share the spotlight with the future Colorado State Patrol Museum and Learning Center who have expressed their excitement for a building to house the state patrol’s long history in Colorado.

6-OPINION

January 2, 2014

opinions / yours and ours

September flood, election results mark year The past year Jefferson and Adams were among Colorado counties marked by intensive flooding in September.

We are always alert for forest fires near our Golden office and brush fires in the area surrounding our Westminster office — and of course, the occasional blizzard and windstorm — so the heavy rains provided a slightly different type of coverage as roads were closed, and families and pets were relocated. About 17 inches of rain was recorded during several days in mid-September with an estimate of about $1 billion of damage across the state.

Our regional cities have completed most of the repair work, and the portions of Highway 72 washed out near Golden have been replaced. The silver lining from the rain clouds amounts to more economic activity as part of repair and clean-up ef-

our view forts.

Once again we survived one of Mother Nature’s mean streaks.

Looking ahead an unfolding trend in the region that will be with us for a while involves representation. For weeks we saw people holding signs on street corners, some in support of recalling local state Sen. Evie Hudak and some in support of the senator. Letters from readers reflected passionate opinions on both sides of the issue for weeks. The potential recall vote unraveled when Hudak resigned and fellow Democrat, Arvada’s Renee Zenzinger was selected to fill her post. Zenzinger has a reputation for sweating the details,

listening to others and showing vision.

She will find herself at the Statehouse in the throes of perhaps more controversial issues — such as gun control legislation, which could be credited as the undoing of Hudak’s term. Time will tell if recall efforts to remove officials undercut desired strong turnouts in general elections where elected officials are efficiently voted in or out at that time.

Representation on the county levels will see changes as well this year. Adams County will have an election and increase its board of commissioners from three to five. At the same time, petitions are being distributed in Jefferson County for a ballot question which would increase its board from three to five.

We have witnessed times when the three rep board does leave a two-to-one

lock — where the two most like-minded commissioners call all the shots. This can be good and bad. And we accept the idea that having five board members reduces the power of each person, which can be good. So we’ll be watching.

And we have our eyes trained on the Jeffco School board, which has three new board members with pronounced more conservative leanings. In tandem with this change, the longtime steady leadership of Superintendent Cindy Stevenson will end this summer with her retirement. The obvious forecast indicates a major sea change for the state’s biggest school district.

From our view, the flood follow-up is wrapping up, but changes in representation will underpin many of our stories this year. We’ll be watching this along with many other topics.

question of the week

What is the impact theater can have on the community?

The arts scene is growing in Jefferson County, and we went to the Edge Theatre to ask how theater can affect the community.

“Theater brings together in an experience, and gives them a chance to talk about things they normally wouldn’t.”

Angela Astle, Lakewood

“Theater has a lot of impact, and can do bold things that will be remembered.”

Ryan Goold, Lakewood

“It brings a whole new energy and ability to connect to the community.”

Bill Marino, Lakewood

“Theater brings a whole new group of people into an area.”

Commercialization at its worst The Christmas holiday shopping season hit an all-time low in 2013 in my humble opinion. What was it — too many uninformed clerks in the stores; or maybe it was the traffic jams INSIDE the mall parking lots; or perhaps it was a more flagrant “me attitude” without politeness or letting the other guy go first? No, the reason it was the worst was the total inconsideration for retail employees and their families who work at such stores as Kohl’s, Macy’s, Toys R Us and Kmart to name a few.

Starting with Thanksgiving night openings before Black Friday, the number of hours that stores were open skyrocketed. Corporate America needs to rethink its values and put more consideration on the impact of their employees and their families.

Stop the retail madness

Let’s look at one example. Kohl’s stayed open for the first time for essentially 5 days straight from 6 a.m. Friday through 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve. This is beyond good reason. It cannot be cost effective for them to be open from midnight to 7 a.m. each night. The old mentality of “if X store is open for 23 hours a day; we will be open for 24 hours a day” is out of control. Stupid! No wonder employees want to unionize. Let’s hope the national chains will re-think this madness before next year’s holiday shopping season!

Outstanding Christmas decorations

Before we shift our focus away from Christmas and all the beautiful decorations and lights, I hope you took the opportunity to view the Christmas decorations at Westminster City Hall. They were better than ever this year!! Thanks to the creativity and hard work of the Parks Division employees, each year these folks set up and take down the miles of strings of lights, the toy soldiers, reindeer etc.

And did you know they make these decorations during the “off season”? Kudos go to our Parks Division employees for another wonderful display.

Wacky election is coming

Now that we just started a new year, let it be noted that an unusual election will take place in 2014 in Deer Trail, Colorado.

A judge has ruled that a special election on issuing hunting permits for drone aircraft can go forward. Yes, shooting down drone aircraft is the issue on the Eastern plains of our state in this town of 500. The argument to propose such a plan is the national attraction for gun enthusiasts and anti-government folks. The FAA has already “shot” a warning about this idea.

Stay tuned regarding this wacky idea.

Thankful for no weed outlets

Finally, I am thankful that the Westminster City Council slammed the door on not allowing recreational marijuana in our city. I continue to observe the fiasco in Denver with all the rules, regulations and now the City Council lowering the fine for kids from 18-21 who are caught with marijuana on them. It will be interesting to observe how the sale of recreational weed in the City of Northglenn plays out.

By the way, why did the council decide to allow it? I hope their 2014 budget has more funds for law enforcement!

A new year to enjoy

With the new year, we will have many new topics to talk about from city employees’ rights to campaign in municipal elections to re-development issues to fiscal sustainability to the 2014 election involving candidates and issues to name a few. Happy New Year to you and yours!

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

Centering self in an unbalanced world Welcome to 2014! How’s it going for you so far? I’m trying something new this year, and I think everybody should try it.

So, repeat after me: this year, I am going to focus on myself.

No, really. Look, I don’t know about you, but 2013 was a bit of a disappointment for me. It all started with the Broncos having the number one seed in the playoffs and losing. From there, the Nuggets continued the string with a first round exit, and then the Rockies followed by, well, being the Rockies.

I actually had big hopes for something to happen career-wise in 2013, but that didn’t really work out. And then there’s that whole Mega Millions thing. What a joke!

And there’s plenty to go around. People who thought the Affordable Care Act would be the greatest thing since sliced bread have been, to say the least, disappointed. By the same token, people who

thought the ACA would be the end of the world have been exposed as, well, a bit hyperbolic. But, gee, at least we saw Washington, D.C. Put aside the acrimony and work together on ... oh, no, wait — that was disappointing, too.

But, see, it occurred to me as I was going through that list that everything that bothered me about 2013 were things largely out of my control. And then I remembered the wise words of a good friend who told me once that you can only

control your self, your thoughts, and your reactions — you can’t control, it turns out, local sports teams, the newspaper industry, or the MegaMillions thing.

I think, sometimes, that we are so connected to the world by our phones and Facebook and all the other technology out there that we internalize too many of the world’s issues. I know I do. But there is only so much that we can control. So, for my own sanity, this year I’m going to focus on me.

I can’t control the fiasco that is Washington, D.C., so instead of gripping about that mess, I’m going to focus on building a stronger community here at home. Oh, but when it comes time to vote, you better believe I’m going to ask myself if Ed Perlmutter or Mark Udall are part of the problem or part of the solution. If they’re the problem, I’m voting for someone else.

I can’t control what editors and publishers are looking for this year, but I can

make sure that I write honestly and simply about things that matter to me.

I can’t control the world my son grows up in, so, rather than panicking about giving him a better world, I’m going to focus on making him a better man than I am.

The world will do what the world will do, and, to the extent that any of us can influence that, we should try to influence it for the better. But I think we’d all be a lot happier if we remembered to focus on the things that are within our control.

And, by the way, happier people tend to make the world a better place. Now, if we can just get happy people to play good deep cover pass defense...

2013 innovation stem from desire to build partnerships As another year draws to a close, it is a fitting time for the Adams County Board of Commissioners to reflect upon our achievements over the past 12 months and share with residents our goals for the coming year.

The year 2013 was truly a time of unprecedented innovation in county government. From exciting new programs and initiatives to streamlined internal processes, we’ve found new ways to offer Adams County residents improved customer service as well as demonstrate our responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.

Many of our 2013 innovations stemmed from our desire to build stronger partnerships with the community. For example, early in the year we introduced the Neighborhood Services Department, which unified the county’s external services (e.g.

Code Compliance, Building Safety, Animal Shelter) under a single, coordinated entity.

As part of this new department, whose goal it is to engage residents on a more

personal level, we launched a traveling series of Commissioners’ Town Hall meetings. For the first time in Adams County history, residents had the opportunity to meet with their commissioners face to face on the issues of greatest concern to them. Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to these meetings, we plan to hold them on a routine basis (visit www. adcogov.org or follow our Facebook page for dates we will visit your area).

In 2013, Adams County also transitioned from a county administrator system of governing to a county manager

A different kind of hunt

tion. Finally, several public hearings dealing with sensitive community concerns were also held in the evening to enable more residents to join in the discussions.

Other innovations over the past year have included voluntary, governmentwide financial and process audits from an independent auditor to enhance our transparency efforts and identify areas for operational improvement. We’ve also created a host of new sustainability initiatives designed to reduce energy costs across county government while helping to preserve our community’s natural resources.

As we move into the New Year, we are more committed than ever to developing innovative new programs and creative, strategic initiatives that will continue our momentum in building a stronger, more vibrant Adams County. Here’s to a thriving, prosperous 2014 — our future has never looked brighter!

Homer Houston

issue is that of the gradual decline in the Piceance Basin region. A current ten study (2008-2018) will define what impacts Colorado natural gas exploration, human activity and habitat degradation from energy activity is having on the mule deer numbers.

“The new technology,” Big game coordinator Andy Hollard described “now used to capture animals is referred to as Net-gunning, which involves the launching of nets from above animals by skilled helicopter crews that safely immobilizes an animal.” Net-gunning allows researchers, veterinarians and volunteers to gather blood samples, record weight, age and sex and place radio collars on captured animals in very remote and rugged areas, often times impossible for human capture; is less expensive; focuses on defined species; provides information on radio collared animals; allows working in more sever and challenging weather conditions and results in quick gathering of data from an animal with far less stress than use of immobilizing drugs.

Biologist Brad Petch reminds sportsmen “Colorado has an extremely valuable natural resource that we are working hard to conserve.”

Outdoors writer Ron Hellbusch can be reached at Ron-Hellbusch@comcast.net.

Homer Houston was born in Snyder, Colorado, to Rosella Booram Houston and William Jesse Houston. He was raised on farms around Snyder and Brush.

Homer joined the United States Marine Corps on February 29, 1952, and separated from active duty on February 19, 1954, then continuing on in the United States Marine Corps Reserve. He was Honorably Discharged from the United States Marine Corps Reserve on February 28, 1960. While in the service, he was a wireman of the Signal Corps laying telephone wire from the command posts to locations where units were stationed in Korea. After his discharge he worked as a bowling alley mechanic in New Mexico and then in Colorado.

He had been taught how to drive trucks by one of his uncles as a young man. He then went to work for various trucking companies, working both as a local and long haul driver. After quitting driving Homer continued working as a trucking dispatcher until his retirement. After retiring his hobby was woodworking, making many beautiful clocks, jewelry

boxes, crucifixes, and other various pieces.

Homer is survived by his wife of 47 years, Barbara, living in Westminster; one sister, Ellen Pirnie; preceded in death by two sisters, Mildred Gross and Agnes Weikum. He is also survived by four stepchildren, Steven and Stuart Kaiser, Shelly Castanho and Sharon Bonilha; six children, Pat Holmes, Lucille Trujillo, Don, Will, and Lois Houston, and Lynn Specht; twelve grandchildren, Amanda, Briana, Adrian, Gavin, Priscila, Daniela, Isabel, Gisela, Felipe, Gabriela, Chris and Vanessa; and eight great grandchildren, Isaiah, Diogo, Michaela, Maia, Donovan, Alicia, Joao, and one due in January.

Viewing and Funeral Services for Homer were held as follows: Family Viewing – Thursday, December 26, 2013, 12:00 noon.

Funeral Service – Friday, December 27, 2013, 11 a.m.

Both Viewing and Service to take place at Horan & McConaty Family Chapel, 3020 Federal Boulevard, Denver, CO 80211.

Burial with Military Honors will follow at Crown Hill Cemetery.

If you return to your favorite mountain or plains back country hunting grounds during January or February, you may see or hear some unfamiliar sights and sounds. While we who hunt have our gear stored and packed away for next year, the wildlife staff of the Division of Parks and Wildlife has a full agenda of research, information gathering and observation using low flying helicopters and small aircraft.

Wildlife technicians will be airborne classifying sex and age of big game; others will gather biological data on the ground.

In addition to inventorying thousands of animals, staff will specifically capture and radio-collar 75 elk, 90 moose, 20 desert bighorn sheep, 25 Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and 1,300 mule deer, including 800 does, 400 fawns and 100 bucks. Radio collars will be secured on some of the wildlife.

This entire information gathering determines the progress of specific wildlife management efforts, gains a clearer picture about the overall health of big game, allows wildlife managers to form population models, and assists in setting future hunting season quotes.

Northwest Region Senior Terrestrial Biologist Brad Petch describes this major winter and spring field work “as a time staff spends long hours in cold temperatures and sometimes harsh conditions to be with and where wildlife numbers are located. It is a big part of what it takes to manage and conserve Colorado’s big game animal populations.”

Tracking radio collared big game in recent fire areas helps determine survival and movement of big game species and that helps determine population numbers. One concerning Colorado mule deer

This new structure creates checks and balances, removes political influences and ensures accountability—all of which serves our constituents well. Our new county manager, Todd Leopold, has already begun implementing a host of innovative initiatives, including improved communication with citizens and new organizational efficiencies. We’re finding new and better ways to serve the public by reducing bureaucracy and eliminating “red tape.”

Raising a glass

CRL Associates chief operating officer and Denver City Council hopeful Roger Sherman held his annual toast to the staff at The Palm restaurant in the Tabor Center on Friday, Dec. 20.

The seven-year tradition started when an unexpected winter blizzard derailed Sherman’s flight plans and cancelled his trip to Chicago. He diverted to The Palm with his friend and co-worker Cathie Greig, who again joined Sherman at Friday’s sip soiree.

Sherman, Greig and co-workers at the local government relations powerhouse CRL Associates raised a glass of 2001 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon with the staff at The Palm — from managers to dishwashers — who crammed inside the bar for the much-anticipated occasion financed by Sherman.

“We have so much to be thankful for, and this has become something we look forward to each Christmas,” Sherman said. The toasters tipped back two jeroboam (double magnums) of the Jordan cab.

Elbert artist’s equine portraits in Western exhibit

Coors National Western curator Rose Fredrick says that due to the show’s popularity, it will be expanded into a second venue in the Gallery at the National Western Club, with 15 additional artists. Colorado-based Quang Ho is the featured artist and has created the annual promotional poster, which will be

Among the invited artists is Karmel Timmons of Elbert County, who has gained national recognition for her skillful portraits of horses and an occasional human or bison. Included in the National Western will be her first-ever color study: “Future Prospect,” capturing a beautiful, alert, young horse.

According to a recent story in “Southwest Art” magazine, 10 years ago Timmons was a single mother working as a bookkeeper when she met her husband Matt, an engineer. They bought quarter horses in 1999 and she said, “I bet I can draw those horses.” Now, Matt runs the business side of her artwork, and she draws.

Timmons soon started drawing neighbor’s horses and has plenty of models close at hand in rural Elbert County. She works from photographs and uses charcoal and wax blend Nero pencils, which come in five strengths. She draws from lunchtime to late at night, seven days a week, unless she’s traveling to horse shows. Each amazingly detailed drawing involves 150 to 200 hours of work, taking her about a month.

The couple no longer own horses, which are expensive, but depend on her horse art, which adds a plus on the ledger.

For lovers of western art, this show has become a must-see event.

Also scheduled: a lecture and luncheon at the History of Colorado Center on Jan. 7 with Quang Ho, Teresa Elliott, Dean Mitchell and Keith Jacobshagen discussing “What is Western Art?” and “Journeys West,” a Petrie Institute of Western Art Symposium, at the Denver Art Museum on Jan. 8.

Denver’s restaurant world was rocked Dec. 21 in the aftermath of the news of Jeff Parr’s death.

Parr, who was 43, reportedly died in his sleep Dec. 20. Leigh Sullivan, who was partners with Parr in the restaurant consultancy company Leigh Sullivan Enterprises, said that Parr wasn’t feeling well that night, went to bed and never woke up.

“He was a very happy man, so that is giving me some comfort,” Denver chef Jenna Johansen said.

Parr’s restaurant resume is extensive: Before joining Sullivan, he spent stints with Sage Restaurant Group, Loews Hotels, Qdoba Mexican Grill and Levy Restaurants (Wellshire Inn, Pepsi Center).

Perhaps the most eloquent tribute to Parr came from close friend Paul “Berrick” Abramson who wrote, “God took one of the good ones from us last night.

Jeffrey Parr was an amazing father and husband, a truly great friend and one of the finest human beings I’ve known. Always there with a smile, eager to help a friend or stranger, energized by being part of the community and absolutely driven, grounded and consumed by his love for his wife (Libby Pollock) and son (Brooklyn Beau, age 4).”

In addition to his wife and son, Parr is also survived by his brother, Andrew Parr,

Students create vacations through PBL project

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com French students at Northglenn High School had the opportunity to plan the vacation of a lifetime during a recent school project. Teacher Ashley Kidder challenged the students to create a 5-day, 6-night vacation under a $3,000 budget allotting just three hours of spare time. She said the project is part of Project Based Learning (PBL) at NHS. “Because Northglenn High School is becoming a STEM school, every teacher must do a PBL project, so I went with the travel, culture history idea,” Kidder said. “I wanted to challenge them to make their own de-

cisions with the project and also have the opportunity to explore the world.”

Kidder worked with EF Education First, a travel company that provides authentic educational experiences, to turn the project into a competition judged by EF staff members. Students presented their vacation trip to judges by first presenting a 60 second “elevator pitch” about the itinerary they created, and second presenting a website they created that outlined the specifics of their itinerary.

The top three teams were then invited to the EF Education First downtown Denver office for the final competition. Kaitlan Spedden, regional manager for EF Education Tours, said she was honored to be part

of the Problem Based Learning project and believes it is a powerful way to engage students in the education process by asking them to collaborate to solve real world problems.

“Students are able to develop lifelong skills that are essential to their continuing education and future careers,” she said. “At EF we work to support educators who want to incorporate this type of learning both in and out of the classroom as well as provide global settings to sharpen key 21st century skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration and global competence.”

Sabrina Marcum, a senior at NHS and part of the winning team who planned a

trip to Belize, said she enjoyed the project because it was something she and her fellow teammates had the freedom to create on their own. Although it was tough in the beginning to decide on all the details, Marcum said once the team had a plan, it was much easier to complete.

“We had requirements from Ms. Kidder, but it was really an open-ended project that we had to figure out,” she said. “It was really interesting and fun.”

Pending district approval, the Belize vacation trip will be offered to NHS students in 2015 during spring break through the help of EF Education First.

Bus driver sentenced to probation, alcohol treatment Staff Report Burton Carpenter, 57, was sentenced in Adams County Court to three years probation for DUI and child abuse for driving a school bus full of football players while drunk.

Carpenter was arrested Sept. 21 with a blood alcohol content of .213. He was transporting members of the Mountain Range High School freshman football team from a game at Prairie View High School when his bus hit a parked vehicle

in front of Mountain Range High School in Westminster.

Carpenter was charged with DUI, DUI per se, 37 counts of child abuse, five counts of reckless endangerment, careless driving, failing to drive in a single lane and failing to stop a school bus at a railroad crossing.

“I am thankful that no one was seriously injured or died as a result of the defendant’s decision to drink and drive,” District Attorney Dave Young said. “His blood alcohol content was nearly three times

the legal limit. He put the lives of the student athletes and everyone else who was on that bus in danger, as well as other innocent people who were on the road with him.”

Carpenter pleaded guilty to one count of DUI and one count of knowing or reckless child abuse involving all 37 student athletes on the bus.

Bond was set at $4,000 but Carpenter has remained in jail since his arrest. Adams County Judge Jeffrey Romeo did not impose any additional jail time but said

Carpenter would serve a two-year jail sentence if he fails to comply with terms of probation.

The judge called Carpenter a “rolling time bomb going down the road.”

Part of his probation is entering a minimum two-year intensive alcohol abuse rehabilitation program at a residential treatment facility by Dec. 31 and perform 100 hours of community service. Carpenter also was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and court costs.

Board approves county budget Staff Report The Adams County Board of Commissioners adopted the county’s 2014 budget during public hearing on Monday, Dec. 16.

The 2014 budget, totaling approximately $494.1 million, includes a 4.91 percent revenue increase over the original 2013 budget, with expenditures increasing by 4.67 percent.

The 2014 budget includes $11.4 million in capital investment for county transportation infrastructure, including the design and construction of Steele Street from 86th

Avenue to 88th Avenue. This $1.6 million project will establish a new roadway in order to accommodate area changes resulting from RTD’s Welby and 88th Station Park N Ride project. Another significant transportation investment is $2 million for roadway improvements to Lowell Boulevard from Clear Creek to 62nd Avenue.

The 2014 budget includes the addition of 66 new positions, including 19 positions from in-sourcing Front Range Airport operations into the county’s operating structure; 24 temporary positions in the Department of Human Services that

were converted to permanent full-time positions; and 23 new positions added as part of the county’s efforts to institute best practices in local governance.

The 2014 budget includes a 3.0 percent merit-based employee compensation plan with a range of 0 - 5.0 percent. The 2014 merit-based pay plan addresses the county’s desire to remain competitive in employee recruitment and retention.

“Adams County is poised for tremendous growth, and this budget will enable county government to effectively support the needs of our residents,” Board Chair

Eva J. Henry said. “As responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, we are committed to investing our expenditures wisely to build a stronger, more competitive, and more sustainable future for our county.”

The 2014 budget is balanced across all 20 funds with current revenues and reserves, in compliance with statutes regarding local government budgeting. In accordance with state statutes, the budget is adopted in December for the upcoming calendar year. Budget ebooks will be available online after the first of the year at www.adcogov.org.

On Wadsworth alone 39 girders were set across the highway, some weighing approximately 111,000 pounds and measuring 120-feet long.

CDOT project director John Schwab said a total of five bridges are being completely rebuilt and three more are being widened as part of the project.

The Wadsworth bridge and the 112th Avenue bridge were complete by November 2013, and the Sheridan Boulevard bridge, BNSF bridge and the US 36 bridges over Lowell Boulevard, the Westminster Promenade, and East and West Flatiron Crossing were under construction in spring and summer.

The U.S. 36 Express Lanes Project is a $312 million, multimodule project between Federal Boulevard and 88th Avenue Street in Louisville/Superior.

The project will build an express lane in each direction of Highway 36. The lanes will accommodate high-occupancy vehicles, bus rapid transit and tolled single-occupancy vehicles. Instead of a physical barrier to separate the managed lanes from the general purpose lanes, the project will create a four-foot buffer, the first of its kind in the state, according to Schwab.

It’s important to get a flu shot to prevent sickness. Courtesy photo throat, muscle aches and feeling lethargic, can take up to four days to emerge and last through 14 days.

To prevent the flu, Kaplan suggests receiving one of two vaccines available. The shot, which is made up of proteins, not the virus, cannot infect recipients, but as it reacts in the body, it can cause it to feel rundown or tired.

If infected, Kaplan recommends

staying home from school or work, intake plenty of fluids, and get rest.

According to Kaplan, the best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated, whether through the shot or the nasal spray and to frequently wash hands.

“Immunization is recommended to everyone six months and older,” Kaplan said. “Getting immunized is the most important thing you can do.”

Schwab said buses will only be able to use the shoulders, which are the same width of the lanes, under certain conditions and will have restrictions. Buses can only use a maximum speed of 35 mph, and if vehicles are driving more than 50 mph on the roadway, the buses will not be able to use the shoulders, he added.

Adams 12 Five Star School District accused of bad budgeting practices

Adams 12 Five Star Schools superintendent Chris Gdowski was welcomed with applause and a standing ovation during February 2013 board meeting. A group of Adams 12 employees showed up at the meeting in support of their leader, after a FOX31 Denver news report alleged improper budget practices made by the district.

“I am here to today to represent all the great professionals that stand behind me. We speak to you tonight to share a simple, yet emphatic message, we are proud to have Chris Gdowski as our superintendent,” said Beau Foubert, principal at Glacier Peak Elementary School. “Despite recent reports that would mislead you to the contrary, Mr. Gdowski is a man of incredible integrity and ethics. His moral compass is strong and just.”

Those reports were made in a story released by FOX31 Denver on Feb. 4.

The news agency conducted a threemonth investigation that raised questions concerning past budget cuts, the district’s budget process and finances. In the last three years, the district has cut more than $56 million in the budget, $12 million alone for the 2012-2013 school year.

FOX31 Denver’s report alleged that the district was hiding tens of millions of dollars after Professor James Sorensen of the University of Denver, who was hired by FOX31 Denver, reviewed the district’s finances and budget process.

But Gdowski denied all of the allegations made in the FOX31 report, and said it’s inexcusable that FOX31 Denver is broadcasting numerous falsehood of misinformation regarding the district .

Board president Mark Clark voiced his frustration with the news report during the meeting and said he was never approached by FOX31 Denver on the issues. He said under Gdowski’s leadership he has seen the district improve.

“I want to tell Fox News right now that this is Adams County, and we are proud people,” he said. “We might not be rich, but we are wealthy, and we’re wise, and we’re proud people here.

I love Adams County and don’t ever come in our district and say that Adams County is a back woods county, because we are awesome.”

Colder weather brings people together, and if not careful, can cause you to walk away with a cold or the flu.

“We see more cases in the winter months because in winter we’re indoors more and in closer contact,” NextCare national director Dr. Michael Kaplan said.

Throughout the holidays, parties and gatherings bring people closer together, increasing the likelihood of spreading germs and contracting illnesses. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the flu is a respiratory illness that affects nearly 200,000 Americans annually. Peaking in the winter months, January through April, the flu affects the body for 10-14 days, and it’s possible to pass the illness without knowing you have it.

According to the CDC’s key facts about Influenza, a healthy adult can infect others with the virus up to a day before showing symptoms and through seven day after becoming sick.

Mustangs senior healthy after rocky junior year Softballer feels good after three surgeries

By Kate Ferraro

kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com Kayla Staab has been playing softball since she was 5. But the sport isn’t just a game for the Mountain Range High School senior.

It’s her life.

So when she almost had her passion taken away from her a year ago due to three different surgeries in two months, including removing a lemon-sized tumor from one her ovaries, she thought her softball future was over.

Staab, 17, from Erie, played on the varsity softball team as a pitcher at Mountain Range since she was a freshman and was a captain her senior season. She’s been playing competitive softball for six years and plays for one of the top club programs in Colorado based out of Fort Collins called the Triple Crown Stars.

Last year, as a junior, Staab pitched for the Mustangs the entire season with pain in her back. An egg-shaped swelling formed by her shoulder blade, but she ignored it, because the Mustangs didn’t have anyone to replace her, plus Staab didn’t have the desire to pitch anymore. “(The pain) was affecting my pitching,” Staab said. “I didn’t see my softball career going very far with my pitching, so I was OK with risking my chances of never being able to pitch again.”

When Mountain Range lost in the regionals tournament to Ralston Valley, Staab started physical therapy soon after the season ended.

The day after Thanksgiving, Oct. 23, 2012, Staab went to Children’s Hospital in Aurora to get an MRI done on her shoulder. The next day, she woke up with abdominal pain so intense she could barely stand. A CAT scan at the Children’s Hospital’s north campus in Broom field found she was in the early stages

of appendicitis.

Staab was transferred to Aurora that night where an appendectomy was performed.

But, in the midst of preparing for the procedure, they also found a benign Teratoma tumor in her right ovary, the size of a lemon.

The tumor could be treated by removing it, but Staab would have to wait another week for that to happen.

Staab’s appendectomy went smoothly and was even able to go home the next day.

She missed school that Monday, but was able to go to class the rest of the week.

Ten days later on Dec. 4 2012, Staab had the tumor in her right ovary removed. They had to make a seven-inch incision in her core, because of the size of the tumor. Staab stayed at the hospital for three nights and went home Dec. 7, 2012. She wasn’t able to walk very well and was still on pain medications.

Meanwhile, Staab’s tests from the MRI on her shoulder came back which found a torn muscle near her shoulder blade. She couldn’t do the procedure until about a month later in the middle of January 2013, because she still wasn’t able to lie on her stomach. This would also mean pushing back her physical therapy more, and could also halt her chances of being seen by college coaches.

“I didn’t know what was going to happen with my softball career, because it was my junior year,” Staab said. “Usually that summer is where you heavily get recruited. I honestly didn’t think I was going to be able to play college.”

Staab had always wanted to go to school at Regis University for nursing and softball.

Their camps began in December 2012; however, Staab couldn’t partake because of her surgeries. Regis softball head coach Nicole Trimboli knew about Staab’s situation and wanted to watch her to make sure she stayed healthy.

Staab then went into intense six-month rehabilitation for her shoulder and back. She started in October, but then stopped for the surgeries, and continued in mid-January until May when she was fully cleared to do ev-

“I’m really proud of myself for being able to get through it all. They (Triple Crown coaches) didn’t push me at all; they knew how to handle it. They didn’t pressure me into getting back. They were all really understanding.”

Staab played first base when the fall season with Mountain Range started up again in August. The Mustangs went to regionals again this year this time beating Ralston Valley 6-1 knocking them out of regionals.

“That was pretty much the highlight of my high school season was beating Ralston Valley to knock them out of regionals after they did it to us,” Staab said.

Staab missed another chance to go to state, but it wasn’t the end of softball for her.

Staab found encouragement through the entire process even going through three surgeries.

“When I was at Children’s, I always asked the nurses that were with me how they got here,” Staab said. “Eighty percent of them went to Regis. That just inspired me to want to end up at Children’s Hospital and the fact that they all went to Regis gives me a greater

chance.”

Staab verbally committed in July and signed her National Letter of Intent Nov. 18, 2013 to play softball at Regis University.

Staab stayed positive throughout the process, because of her personal coach Greg Riddoch, former sports psychologist for the Tampa Bay Rays. Staab said Riddoch has really changed her mentality about herself and the way she plays.

“I helped her with her pitching routines,” Riddoch said. “She is such a great and easy learner to teach. She really took those things to heart. She just kept working through it.”

After a year, Staab is healthy and doesn’t have any restrictions. She’s learned to not take softball for granted. Staab stayed positive throughout her three surgeries and learned to look at the better part of things. She knows that injuries are awful, but nothing can stop her now.

“It went by so quick, I feel so much better now,” Staab said. “I almost got my softball career taken away from me. I learned that little obstacles, you can overcome them. I just think of things in a much bigger picture after I had it almost taken away from me.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF DEC 25, 2013

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You might be busier than you had expected right now. But between the socializing rounds and the workplace tasks, there are opportunities for special moments with that certain someone.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your creative approach leads to a quicker-than-expected solution to a workplace problem. Now you can devote more time to that proposal you hope to introduce by midmonth.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Technological glitches create problems early on. But by midweek, all runs smoothly once again, and you’re well and truly on your way to meeting all your deadlines.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Your energy levels are high, and you feel you can handle everything that comes along. But try to take a break from your hectic pace for some quiet time with someone close to you.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Before you pounce on that shiny new opportunity, take more time to check it out to see how much substance actually lies beneath all that glitter. A family member has important news.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A personal situation you thought was resolved resurfaces, thanks to a possibly well-intentioned move that went awry. Deal with it as soon as possible. Accept the help of a trusted friend.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) That goal you set way back when is finally in sight. Maintain your focus on achieving it, and don’t allow yourself to be distracted by unimportant demands for your attention.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A temperamental flareup creates negative feelings that need to be dealt with immediately. But things once again go well after the apologies are made and hurt feelings are soothed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) An early impulsive act causes confusion. But all is smoothed over once explanations are made. Expect a friend or family member to ask for your kind and always wise advice.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) You might have to do some juggling of your priorities, as a personal matter appears to require more time and attention.

Put your pride aside and accept help from those who offer it.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Your creative aspect is strong. Not only does it help you accomplish your goals, but it also inspires others. This could lead to a potentially rewarding collaboration opportunity.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Be careful about making major decisions when you’re not really committed to them. And resist any pressure to do otherwise. Better to delay action until all doubts are resolved.

BORN THIS WEEK: You set goals and are rarely distracted by any attempt to move you off the path you’ve chosen to reach them. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
