Adams County School District 50 and the Adams 12 Five Star School District both made academic gains, based on the state’s 2014 Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) test results.

Students in District 50 improved or maintained their scores in 19 of 24 categories, the most in the metro area. Adams 12 was just behind with students improving or maintaining their scores in 16 of the 24 categories. The state improved or maintained scores in 10 categories. District 50 did have a decline in five cat-

egories, while Adams 12 had a decline in eight categories.

District 50 uses a competency-based system, in which the entire educational system is organized around engaging students in 21st century skills, working at their developmental levels and advancing only when they have demonstrated proficiency or mastery.

“The latest results are further evidence that our CBS model is the right approach to educating all our children,” said District 50 Superintendent Pamela Swanson. “While comparisons with other districts help to illustrate a positive trend, we won’t be satisfied until all our students are learning to their full potential.”

In 2010 the district was designated a Turnaround District, with seven schools in the Turnaround category. According to D50 Communications Director Steve Saunders, early data indicates that no District 50 schools will be labeled Turnaround and only two schools will be classified as Priority Improvement.

“We now have a persistent pattern of data to definitively declare our continuing improvement in student achievement is the result of our competency-based system gaining deeper traction,” said Oliver Grenham, chief education officer for the district. “We still have a lot of work to TCAP continues on Page 31

County, cities reach temporary agreement Municipal inmate cap at county jail raised to 65

By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Adams County and five of its municipalities have reached a temporary agreement regarding the inmate jail cap lawsuit.

The parties have agreed to delay any litigation until May 15, 2015.

The agreement allows for additional municipal inmates — a total of 65 — to be housed at the Adams County Detention Facility. The municipalities agreed to pay the daily fee for any inmate exceeding that cap. Domestic-violence offenders do not count against that cap.

“We are pleased that this temporary agreement will provide additional access for municipal inmates,” said Thornton Mayor Heidi Williams. “This issue has been worked on for years now, and we appreciate the efforts of those who negotiated this resolution.”

The cities of Thornton, Northglenn, Aurora, Commerce City and Federal Heights filed a joint complaint on Feb. 19 against the Adams County Board of Commissioners and Sheriff Doug Darr for restricting or refusing to house municipal prisoners in the county jail.

Empty nest takes some getting used to Some of you reading this column will relate as a parent who has gone through the bittersweet event of having your children move out, especially if it is your last child or they were an only child.

And every one of us reading these words today has been that child or young adult who has moved away from home at some point.

Many went to college, others joined the military, and there were some who just felt like it was time to go and find employment and another place to live.

Some chose to move fairly close to home, but just far enough to keep the parents from “popping by,” yet close enough to raid the pantry and do some laundry if necessary. And if we look at our own departures from home we would probably remember the bittersweet moment, our nervousness, the anxious anticipation that accompanies any new adventure, and we probably also remember the melancholy look upon our parents’ faces, possibly even a tear or two on their cheeks as well as maybe even a little drop from our own eyes.

There are obviously mixed emotions,

and in many cases when extreme happiness and excitement enter the arena, they can serve as blockers to the deeper emotions that we attempt to hide. I can tell you that as last of my children moved into a dorm last weekend, it was definitely a bittersweet moment.

Although she was my most rebellious child, she has also been blessed with boundless energy. She has also been blessed with boundless emotions. So combining rebellion with emotionally charged energy sometimes could create a little bit of friction in the house. OK, maybe a lot of friction and tension.

Will I miss her? Absolutely. Will I miss her sense of humor? Yes. Will I miss her

hugs? No question. Will I miss just seeing her wandering around the house, waking up, or, more accurately, waking her up?

Yes I will. Will I miss grounding her? No way. Will I miss the emotionally driven arguments? Nope. Will I miss waiting up to hear her come in at night? No chance, as I have been looking forward to a solid night’s sleep for so long.

When change happens in our life, just like having our children or child move away, or when you, the young adult, are choosing to move away from mom and dad, we have to remember the importance of staying connected through memories, text messages, calls, emails and visits. Change is not a four-letter word, it is just something that happens.

And as with all change, even though we may not like it or agree with it, we know and accept that change happens, and it will always happen. It’s all about how we prepare our hearts and minds to deal with the change when it does occur.

Mixed emotions and bittersweet moments are natural and awesome all at the same time. It’s when they occur that they tap into our senses and tug hard on our

own hearts, letting us know that we are indeed alive and full of feeling. They say that gratitude is one of the healthiest of all human emotions. So instead of focusing on the things I will not miss about my daughter’s departure, I will focus on appreciating all the funny, exciting and challenging times she brought into my life.

How about you? Does the bittersweet moment of loved ones moving out or moving out yourself lead you more towards gratitude and appreciation for all the times and memories you had together, or are you wrestling with the melancholy feelings and separation anxiety? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can enjoy the memories, stay in contact, and just let those bittersweet moments happen, it really will be a better-than-good week.

Death ruled suicide in house explosion Man intentionally detached gas line which led to June 19 blast

By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Officials have determined that Gary Pine, 59, wanted to kill himself when he intentionally detached the natural gas line to the furnace inside his Thornton home June 19.

This act led to the home at 13072 Monroe Drive to fill up with natural gas, which resulted in the eventual ignition and home explosion, according to an Aug. 22 statement by Thornton Police.

“The evidence indicates the victim, Gary Pine, engaged in an intentional act to commit suicide …” the statement reads.

Thornton Police Chief Randy Nelson led a community meeting Wednesday, July 16, to update the neighbors of that home on the investigation into the cause, the cleanup process and to reduce concerns about asbestos exposure.

At that time officials told a crowd of more than 100 people gathered at Stargate Charter School that someone intention-

ally tampered with the natural gas line and that the line could have leaked for up to two hours before the explosion. However, it was not officially ruled a suicide at that point because Pine’s toxicology test results were still pending.

Pine co-owned the home and lived in the basement. He lived with two roommates who were not at home during the explosion. According to the city, the home co-owner has filed for cleaning permits. It is up to him to do the cleanup and not the responsibility of the city.

The blast leveled the home and damaged five neighboring homes, which are now uninhabitable. The debris from the blast went about a two-block radius.

The home was built in the 1970s and had asbestos inside its popcorn ceilings.

However, Mike Van Dyke with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said the risk of exposure to asbestos was extremely low because it was limited to the ceiling and the drywall pieces were found in large chunks.

For the smaller particles that may have been tiny and airborne, Van Dyke said, the rain and wind after the explosion would have minimized the exposure to those.

The city has set up a specific page on its

St. Anthony North partners with Cornerstone Orthopedics

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com St. Anthony North is partnering with Cornerstone Orthopedics and Sports Medicine to provide state-of-the-art orthopedic care and surgery to patients at the St. Anthony North Hospital campus in Federal Heights and to patients at the St. Anthony North Medical Pavilion in Westminster.

Services will begin Sept. 1, and once the new St. Anthony North Health Campus at 144th Avenue and Interstate 25 opens next year, Cornerstone will be relocated to the new Integrated Physician Office Building located directly within the main campus.

Carole Peet, chief executive officer for the St. Anthony North Health Campus, said she reached out to Cornerstone in order to develop a partnership around orthopedic care at the campus because it

is a premier provider of orthopedic care in the north market.

“We really had to look at who those outstanding physicians were to bring to the campus for our community,” Peet said. “And Cornerstone, which is well known, was a natural partner.”

Cornerstone Orthopedics is a fullservice orthopedic group specializing in the treatment of spine, foot, ankle, lower extremities, hands, wrists and upper extremities. Cornerstone also offers diagnostic ultrasound imaging and outpatient surgery services. Cornerstone Executive Director Anjela Watson said the diagnostic ultrasound imaging is a unique service offered by Dr. Timothy Mazzola.

“Instead of receiving an MRI, a patient can have the ultrasound imaging, which is cheaper for patients than an MRI,” she said. “Dr. Mazzola is able to move a wand over an arm or leg while doing imaging to help diagnose the issue. He is one of only a few physicians in the country who

A FOGGY FAIR

is doing this.”

Currently there are two Cornerstone locations, in Louisville and Wheat Ridge.

Watson said many patients travel from the north metro area to the Louisville location for services. She said having a location in the new health campus will be a benefit to both patients and physicians.

“We’ve been serving the north metro area for years, so we’re looking forward to serving even more people and to partner with St. Anthony North,” she said. “I think people will appreciate having orthopedic services closer to home.”

The St. Anthony North Health Campus is set to open March 3, 2015. The 350,000-square-foot health and wellness center connected to the St. Anthony North Medical Pavilion incorporates a new “health neighborhood” approach to health and wellness.

The campus will include a 60,000-square-foot, integrated physician clinic; an outpatient diagnostics and treatment center; an ambulatory surgery center with inpatient surgery capabilities; women’s center; and a Level III Trauma Center. For more information, visit www.stanthonynorthhc.org.

Seven of Adams County’s facilities will use energy powered by a community solar garden that will be constructed by SunShare near 46th Avenue and Imboden Road

by December.

When the solar garden comes online, the county will be the first in the nation to power its buildings with community solar energy.

According to Nick Kittle, Adams County’s performance, innovation and sustainability manager, the project requires zero upfront money from the county. Additionally, the county stands to save a projected $300,000 in energy costs through the SunShare contract over the next 20 years.

“Adams County has made an important first step in moving to cleaner energy,” Kittle said. “This project makes financial sense and builds on our growing leadership role as an environmentally responsible community. We will continue to make more sustainable choices as an organization, and we’re excited to partner with SunShare to bring more Solar Gardens to Adams County.”

In 2010, the Colorado State Legislature led the nation by passing the country’s first Community Solar Gardens Act. The act has inspired 16 states from Minnesota to California to develop legislation creating their own community solar gardens programs.

The Community Solar Gardens Act al-

lows customers who either can’t or don’t want to put solar panels on their homes to buy solar energy from a solar array located elsewhere in the community.

Electricity generated by SunShare’s Solar Gardens is fed into the main power grid. SunShare’s customers buy a specific amount of energy from the solar garden and receive a credit on their Xcel Energy bill for that amount.

“The community solar model is quickly emerging as a major force in the renewable energy sector,” said J.W. Postal, SunShare’s Senior Vice President. “Partnerships like this demonstrate the immense demand for community solar. We are excited to partner with Adams County.”

In an effort to encourage residents and businesses in Adams County to go solar, SunShare is offering a 10 percent discount to any business, school or resident within the city limits for the next 30 days.

SunShare has more than 11 megawatts of community solar gardens built or under development along Colorado’s Front Range.

SunShare has projects under way with Colorado Springs Utilities and Xcel Energy, with the capacity to serve more than 2,200 homes.

For more information on the community solar garden program, visit www. mysunshare.com. Customers interested in becoming a part of SunShare’s community solar gardens should email contactus@mysunshare.com or call 303-296-0919.

Upgrades keep students cool

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Students in five Adams County School District 50 schools started the school year off in a cooler setting thanks to some much needed upgrades.

Over the spring and summer heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems were installed at Sherrelwood, Metz, Fairview, Mesa, and Sunset Ridge elementary schools thanks to remaining 2006 bond dollars. The total spent on the upgrades totaled $5.85 million. Last year Tennyson Knolls Elementary School received a new HVAC system funded by the same bond.

This leaves five remaining elementary schools in the district still in need of HVAC upgrades. James Duffy, district Chief Operations Officer, said the 2006 bond dollars were incredibly important to the maintenance progress within the district. Currently the district is seeking a second bond initiative for the November election. Duffy said if passed, the five reaming schools would receive their HVAC systems in a much quicker timeframe.

“If the bond doesn’t pass this year,

we’re looking at 10 to 15 years before the rest of the elementary schools in the district would receive new HVAC systems,” he said. “If a bond does pass, we could install the systems much faster.”

Adolfson & Peterson Construction completed project, which started with night work in early March to ensure completion by the first day of school on Aug. 18. The project included upgraded controls, the necessary gas and electrical system replacements and some upgrades to prevent backflow in the kitchen plumbing. A&P Construction superintendent Tyler Sarff said detailed planning was essential in controlling the tight schedule.

“Effective communication with everyone involved in the project and knowing what was happening when and where at each school was key,” he said.

Mesa Elementary also underwent an extensive renovation including a remodeled library, the creation of new walls in parts of the school and new gymnasium lighting. Duffy said the new light fixtures are more energy efficient and brighter.

Construction is also under way for a new playground at Metz Elementary, which was paid for through grant dollars focused on improving student health.

“Everyone is appreciative of the new

Rosier competes for second term

Standley campaigns for District 3

County commissioner incumbent fosters economic growth

Jeffco resident decides to run for county commissioner

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com After serving three and a half years on the board of county commissioners, Don Rosier needs little introduction to the political arena.

Drawing on his experience as commissioner from District 3, which includes all of southern Jeffco, Rosier is preparing for a second term as the Republican candidate.

“I have the highest and best interest of all resiRosier ​ dents,” Rosier said. “I’m here for them — I’m not here for me.”

He plans to continue to support economic development in the county, and outlines priorities for his second term that includes partnering with local businesses, creating more jobs and improving “quality of life” by taking a hard look at senior housing options.

“They are the issues that are affecting different segments of Jefferson County,” he said.

Rosier is known for his work with the Jeffco Economic Development Corporation (EDC). Through the EDC program Forward Jeffco, the organization estimates at least 558 new jobs over the next five years for the county. The program intends to eventually add 7,500 jobs.

“We’ve brought in 3,000 jobs to Jefferson County in the last three years,” Rosier said.

“I’m very impressed with how things have moved forward.”

In 2011, he was Colorado Counties’ Freshman Commissioner of the Year for the State and was awarded the 2012 Elected Official of the Year by the Jeffco EDC and the West Chamber of Commerce.

After the September 2012 floods, he coordinated recovery efforts between the county, the state, FEMA and Homeland Security. The rebuilding of State Highway 72 through Coal Creek Canyon was the only road rebuilt in the final configuration, Rosier said.

“All the other roads they have to go back through — those were temporary fixes,” he said. “That was with a lot of hard work with CDOT, with the Governor’s Office, with Homeland Security with other federal agencies (FEMA) to make sure that was a smooth transition and process.”

He doesn’t dismiss the claim that at times his approach to county matters may come off as rude.

“Do I say things that after I say it go, ‘not the best choice of words?’ Yeah. I screw up just like everybody else and unfortunately for me, a lot of the times that I screw up, I’m being recorded,” he said. “I try to do the best I can – there are items that are very serious that my intensity will come out because it is serious for everybody,” he said.

But Rosier maintains that he is very much involved with residents and it’s that aspect of the job that he likes most.

“I love being able to get out and talk to the residents of Jefferson County, the business owners — to advocate for Jefferson County,” he said. “It’s a privilege to be county commissioner and I take that very seriously.”

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com The race for Jefferson County commissioner in District 3 has become more competitive with the addition of a third candidate, Greg Standley, who is on the campaign trail.

Standley is running as an unaffiliated candidate who holds conservative view. He identifies himself as an expert mediator and is interested in getting to the root cause of issues.

He said he is inclined to approach situations with Standley ​ a scientific mind while applying techniques for conflict resolution that he learned while working 30 years at MillerCoors. Within that time, Standley has worked in many roles, ranging from a microbiologist to a quality specialist.

“I go out and I analyze broken processes,” Standley said about the role of a quality specialist. “I’m a problem solver.”

Growing up in Jefferson County and now residing in unincorporated Jeffco, Standley said he stands out from his opponents in that he does not come from a strong political background.

“I’m a normal guy just trying to use my skill sets I’ve practiced for many years in conflict resolution that would offer something the community might want,” he said.

His campaign focus is on the “grander issues,” but his real passion lies with the residents in District 3, who heavily rely

on the commissioners as their representatives. Issues he thinks need attention deal with commissioners being more accessible to the public, fire mitigation and conflicts with slash-collection sites, and land use.

“I have a passion to help people resolve issues at the county level with their properties,” he said. “It’s such a huge investment for everyone. It’s so important.”

He is, however, aware of bigger issues raised in the county, including the contentious Jefferson Parkway project, funding requests from the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office and the Jeffco5 initiative that aims to increase the number of county commissioners from three to five.

Standley signed the Jeffco5 petition, which was unsuccessful in getting on the ballot. He said he thinks it is up to the voters to decide. Personally, he said, he does not agree with Jeffco5’s message which claims better representation can be achieved through the election of more commissioners. “Why grow government? If you have the right people and the right job, three commissioners should be enough.”

Whether or not voters decide to elect Standley as the next county commissioner for District 3, he said he will remain dedicated to his involvement in county matters, which is evident through his regular participation in public comment during the 8 a.m. commissioner meetings on Tuesdays.

“At the end of it I can say I tried … and let it go,” Standley said. “Or I can run again in four years.”

Eventualism and the fullness of time I have done many stupid things in my life — I might have mentioned that before.

Most of these stupid things, thank God, have not led to terrible consequences.

Nonetheless, in retrospect, there are many things I would do differently, if I could.

The unfortunate problem with that is changing any one of those acts could have a ripple effect in my life which would result in a completely different life. It’s impossible to pull at the loose strings of the tapestry of your life without unraveling other parts of the picture. Suppose I had taken a job opportunity way back when that I’ve always wondered about — that probably means I wouldn’t have been at the event where I met my wife, which means that my children would never have been born. Even if that job opportunity had led to amazing things for me, it also would have led to some things that are unthinkable to me today.

That is what makes me, philosophically speaking, an “Eventualist.” I don’t even know if that’s a real thing, to be honest; I might have just made that up. And, if it is real, well, cool. At any rate, the “Eventualist” school of thought holds that the good or bad of every act, regardless of its intent, can only be truly measured in the fullness of time when all the eventualities have played out.

That is what worries me about our reaction to the flood of illegal immigrant children that have hit our southern border in the last many months. My immediate

thought with regard to those children is, as I think it is for most, compassion — to consider how terrifying it must have been to make that journey all by themselves, to wonder just how horrible the conditions were that they left behind, and just how useless are the government bodies they left behind that make such a journey even worth considering. Our instinct is to take care of them. But is that the right thing to do, eventually?

Let me put it to you this way: last week, a Florida mom was arrested for leaving her 9-year old child playing alone at a playground. As we approach the two-year anniversary of the murder of Jessica Ridgeway, I know very few parents who leave their children alone to play outside for 15 minutes at a time, much less send them on a “quest.” And yet, there are parents all throughout Central and South America who have put their children on buses, trains, or in the care of complete strangers to complete a 1000-plus mile journey from home to the southern border of America.

We know that some of them don’t make it — the bodies have washed up on the shores of the Rio Grande. Others don’t make it because they get sold into slavery before they ever get close to our shores.

And yet, their parents are still sending them. There must be a reason.

What if the “eventual” outcome of all our compassion, all our aid and assistance to these children (and, yes, all of our ignoring of our own laws), is simply that we are encouraging other parents to send other kids on that terrible journey into the unknown. An act that would get an American parent arrested is being quietly made a viable option for Guatemalans, Salvadorans, Nicaraguans and others because of the possibility that they’ll make it here, and be allowed and assisted to stay.

It’s a difficult question. Any “comprehensive” plan to address it had better deal with the fact that there is, apparently, not one functioning government between El Paso and Brazil. But don’t be fooled into thinking that compassion must be our default position, so that we can rest easily afterwards having “done something.” The eventual result of that may be unthinkable.

question of the week

Will the Denver Broncos win the Super Bowl this year?

The 2014 NFL season is officially here! And even though many in Broncos County are still hurting from the beatdown that the Seattle Seahawks put on Denver, it is time to put it last season the rearview mirror because it’s a new year.

“Absolutely! They almost won the Super Bowl last year but they just had too many mistakes that caught up with them. But we will forget all that after we win this year. Go Broncos!”

Flora Simental, Aurora​

“I think this is the year they finally get it done. Those painful ends to the last two seasons are just going to make this Super Bowl even sweeter.”

Marcus Ice (and his son, Nicholas), Littleton​

“I am not sure because I thought they were going to win it the last two years. I hope that they do and wish them the best.

But I don’t want another repeat of last season.”

Patricia Roybal, Arvada​

“I think they have a chance to win it all but the Seahawks and the 49ers will be tough to beat. And Peyton Manning can’t play forever. I’m not sure …”

City Council dodges public vote At the Aug. 18 Westminster City Council study session, the “liberal trio” of city councillors plus councillor Anita Seitz ignored Westminster voters on a serious matter. Plus, it was done with forethought and impressive political chicanery.

The issue at hand was twofold. First, should the city government recognize the firefighters’ union for collective bargaining purposes? Secondly, should this decision be made by three liberal Democrats on City Council plus Seitz with three of them having been supported in their respective City Council campaigns by the fire union and its members or should Westminster voters be given the opportunity to make this important and long-reaching decision.

At that point, there was still enough time to place the issue on this November’s ballot.

As with so many politically related decisions at all levels of government, the “liberal trio” opted to take the quick and easy way out and directed staff to prepare an ordinance which would recognize the firefighters’ union. The “trio” consists of Faith Winter, their leader, Emma Pinter and Alberto Garcia. Seitz is less “hard core.”

Negative impacts will occur

This decision is no small matter for sure.

What are the reasons?

Recognizing a group of employees for collective bargaining purposes changes many things and has serious long-term consequences. It would impact fiscal decisions not only for the fire department, but for other city departments as well. It creates more of a “Them” and “Us” mentality and work environment.

In this case, it could easily lead to the Police Department and other City departments, especially field operations like Public Works, to push for their own collective bargaining.

Less inter-departmental cooperation is likely to happen. It can cost the taxpayers more.

Grievances would become more bureaucratic which can lead to less productivity. Impasses would require resolution by a vote of the people which is expensive to taxpayers. Ultimately, there is the threat of strike.

So, what are the documented reasons why the firefighters want to create a collective bargaining process? Is pay too low? Are fringe benefits inadequate? Are facilities deteriorated and inadequate? Is the firefighting and emergency medical equipment old and not dependable? Are safety practices ignored and not practiced? The feedback is less than concrete with transparency and safety being mentioned.

Voters decided the issue

In 1980, police and fire personnel joined together in a group called “The Bond” seeking collective bargaining rights. Members of both departments circulated petitions to force a Westminster City Charter Amendment on the November ballot. They had sufficient signatures and the vote was taken. The union attempt was defeated handily 60 percent against collective bargaining and 40 percent in favor. The citizens of their city government decided this issue; not a majority of the City Council.

It had not come again, until now. And now, the “liberal trio” has the gall and ego to decide this alone. They say they didn’t like the forced ballot language that would be mandated by state law, but that is a red herring.

Faith Winter’s plan

To Faith Winter’s credit, she had already thought through the timing and sequence of this process and how it could affect her candidacy for the House District 35 seat in the state Legislature. Most people have known for well over a year that Winter was dead-set to win this House seat. But to put the collective bargaining question on the ballot would interfere and conflict with her election plans which would be detrimental to her personal gain and the gain of the Democratic Party.

Secondly, she knows that Westminster is not “a union town” and that it would be difficult to win an election for firefighters’ collective bargaining. This would be especially difficult given the competitive pay plan for Fire Department personnel, the stellar fringe benefits package they enjoy, the above average facilities they work and live in and the quality firefighting and emergency equipment they have available to use to carry out their duties. Faith Winter and her fellow city councillors may have created something they may well regret politically Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR How to turn $1 into 64 cents Westminster is given Community Development Block Grant money by the Federal Government. There are stringent rules about how to use the money, but as long as we adhere to the rules, we have a wide range of programs we can fund. Of course we must be accountable for the money, which is good. We all have heard of how federal funds are wasted on silly programs. We are allowed to use up to 20 percent of the funds for our administrative expenses to comply with the federal rules. There is no rule forcing us to take it. Indeed if we ran an efficient,

competent, knowledgeable, smart, thrifty, streamlined program, we could easily follow all the federal rules and only need 10 percent for administration. This would mean more money for our programs.

City Council allocated $112,500 (before administration costs of $22,500) to run the Emergency and Essential Home Repair Program. It helps folks who own their homes but have limited incomes ($30,700 for a twoperson household). These folks have to meet strict requirements about being conscientious, law-abiding citizens who pay their bills and all their taxes, are in complete compli-

ance with all city rules, have homeowners insurance and on and on. They are good, decent, first-class folks who have limited resources and then get faced with a home repair that might be almost impossible for them to pay to have fixed. This program helps homeowners anywhere in the city, improves the condition of homes and makes the city look better. What a nice program for our citizens.

It is too bad that Westminster is not going to run this program. We are letting the knowledgeable people at the Jefferson County Housing Authority (JCHA) run the program

for us. But giving the program to them will take another 20 percent in administration fees. This means we start with $112,500 in federal funds, the city takes $22,500 and JCHA takes $18,000, so only $72,000 is left before any work is done or help is given.

This is wrong. This is wasteful. This is how $1 becomes 64 cents. This is why many people are frustrated with government. We can run better government than this. We have to try harder.

RTD is providing big, bold, modern transit The Regional Transportation District is reaching milestones as it increases commuting options for residents around the Denver metropolitan region.

In my district, for instance, RTD broke ground March 20 on the North Metro Rail Line, and I was humbled to see more than 300 people in attendance at this historic event.

Another recent achievement for RTD occurred May 9 when our transit agency celebrated the grand opening of its modern, 22-bay bus concourse at Denver Union Station. Service in and out of the brand-new, state-of-the-art underground bus facility began May 11, the same day RTD closed Market Street Station after 30 years of service.

A multimodal hub for the entire metro region, Union Station will provide access to FasTracks transit corridors and bring commuter rail, light rail, regional buses, taxis, shuttles and new economic development to the historic Lower Downtown Denver neighborhood.

“Big. Bold. Modern. Transit.” It was RTD’s tagline for the Union Station bus concourse opening and it’s the agency’s intrinsic mot-

to for all it is accomplishing across the RTD system.

In less than two years, RTD will celebrate the birth of a new commuting era when it opens more than 50 miles of new rail among the East, Gold, I-225 and Northwest rail lines to Westminster. Also in 2016, RTD will open 18 miles of bus rapid transit service between downtown Denver and Boulder along U.S. 36. Moreover, by 2018 the first phase (12.5 miles) of the North Metro Rail Line will be compete, increasing RTD’s overall rail service to 110 miles.

As part of the FasTracks transit expansion program, RTD opened its new Union Station bus concourse, but it is also building other facilities.

Currently under construction is a new commuter rail maintenance facility that will serve the East, Gold, Northwest and North Metro rail lines.

RTD is truly paving the way for today’s commuters, tomorrow’s prospects and providing an invaluable benefit for Colorado’s future.

RTD Director Larry Hoy represents District J, which includes Federal Heights and Northglenn, portions of Thornton and West-

minster, and portions of unincorporated Ad-

ams and Jefferson counties.

State shines in two economic reports Not good enough, says Beauprez campaign

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado’s economic outlook is bright, as indicated by two business reports released last week.

The state’s unemployment rate ticked down slightly in July, and Colorado experienced its 33rd consecutive month of job gains.

And, on the heels of those statistics, a business website ranked Colorado No. 1 on its list of state economies.

Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper greeted the economic news with tempered optimism.

“While our economy continues to be recognized as the fastest-growing in the nation, we know there is still much work to be done,” the governor said through an emailed statement. “We are focused on ensuring we foster a positive business climate — whether a start-up or Fortune 500 company — and retaining our talented workforce.”

The unemployment numbers released by the state Department of Labor and Employment show that 3,500 non-farm jobs were added in July. That growth allowed the state’s unemployment rate to drop from 5.5 percent to 5.3 percent.

That’s the lowest unemployment rate the state has seen since October 2008, just when the Great Recession was kicking in.

Meanwhile, the website Business Insider ranked Colorado’s economy as the best in the nation.

The influential business website used eight metrics to determine its rankings, with Colorado ranking in the top 10 in five of them.

Business Insider cited Colorado’s “highly diversified” economy as a key factor in its top ranking, which includes a healthy aerospace sector and the state’s “huge amount” of federal investment.

The website also factored in the state’s growth in job creation and in its workingage population.

The unemployment numbers and the business report come as good news to Hickenlooper, who is seeking re-election in the fall. The governor has touted the state’s improving economic health as his primary campaign strategy.

But the campaign behind his opponent this November, Republican Bob Beauprez, a former congressman, said things could be a lot better for Coloradans.

The Beauprez campaign points to evidence of sluggish economies in rural parts of the state as an indication that Hickenlooper and Democratic lawmakers have little interest in focusing on improving economies outside of the Denver metro area.

“Certainly there are signs that after this prolonged recovery there are some signs of life,” said Allen Fuller, communications director for the Beauprez campaign. “But, for a lot of Colorado families, recovery hasn’t come to their doorstep yet.”

Preparing caregivers for Alzheimer’s disease awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Editor’s Note: This is the final installment of a four-part series exploring the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease in Jefferson County.

Education in dementia care should be a key component for health care professionals as the projected increase in dementia means it will undoubtedly become a dominating disease in the next few decades.

But federal regulation for personal care workers to be trained in dementia care is nonexistent, leaving states to define their own requirements, curriculum and training hours.

In Colorado, training requirements are broad and in most cases lacking.

Care facilities require health care professionals to receive training for dementia care, but state law does not prescribe a curriculum, or even a number of hours needed.

Nor does it require nurses to receive specific dementia training prior to licensure — yet a reported 79 percent of licensed practical nurses working in long-term care facilities expressed an interest in furthering geriatric training and 77 percent in training for Alzheimer’s disease and care.

“It’s a full system failure,” said Amelia Schafer, senior program manager at the Alzheimer’s Association’s Colorado Chapter.

“They (health care professionals) are not getting the tools they need to meet expectations.”

The findings come from the state’s Alzheimer’s Plan, submitted by the Colorado Alzheimer’s Coordinating Council to the governor in 2010. It identified gaps in how the state handles care services for persons living with Alzheimer’s and dementia. A primary issue was the absence of dementia care training for health care professionals.

“There are few Alzheimer’s and dementia care training requirements for health care professionals, paraprofessionals, and facilities and agencies serving consumers with Alzheimer’s disease in Colorado,” the report said.

After the report’s release, directors at the state Alzheimer’s Association moved quickly to create a program that recognizes organizations that train staff in dementia care.

The program, called Leaders in Dementia Care, is voluntary but offers free curriculum and training resources. Since its launch two years ago, the program recognizes 70 organizations or 5,000 health care professionals.

It’s a small feat but one the association continues to market as a way to incentivize facilities to take part in the program as awareness of educational gaps for health care workers grows.

“We consider it successful,” Schafer said but noted that until legislators start looking into regulations in the workforce, it will be up to consumers to drive the program’s mission, she said.

Dr. Mike Wasserman, a geriatrician, sat on the Colorado Alzheimer’s Coordinating Council in 2010. He recently relocated to southern California after working at various clinics around the Denver area. After treating seniors for 30 years, Wasserman is aware of the educational flaws presented to nurses and social workers in senior care.

“The frustrating part of this is, it is so

STATISTICS ON LONG-TERM CARE WORKFORCE A well-documented shortage of long-term care providers exists; high turnover rates, large numbers of job vacancies and difficulties in recruiting new workers characterize the industry.

It is predicted that insufficient training in Alzheimer’s and dementia care is one cause leading to these shortages as well as inadequate care in care facilities.

The nationwide demand for workers in nursing and residential care facilities is expected to increase by 21 percent between 2008 and 2018. In addition, the need for home health care is expected to increase 46 percent.

According to a 2008 survey done by the Colorado Health Institute for licensed practical nurses; only half of the LPN’s surveyed reported their nursing instruction in caring for persons with dementia and other mental impairments as good or excellent.

It took her some time but she set her pride aside and asked for help.

“That was really hard,” she said. “I still vividly remember the day I had to ask friends. I was working so hard to keep up appearances, it was a huge relief when I could share how very hard things were becoming.”

She paid for in-home care a couple of mornings a week but her greatest support came from volunteers comprised of friends, family, coworkers, neighbors and fellow

ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia. It affects memory, thinking and behavior with symptoms worsening over time. Abnormal protein buildup in the brain is believed to cause the symptoms. There is no cure. Treatment only slows symptom progression. The disease is most common in those 65-and-over, but “early onset” is occasionally seen in patients in their 40s and 50s.

— Source: The Alzheimer’s Association church goers who called themselves Team Bill. They organized volunteers during the day while Spaulding worked and on weekends, so that she was able to a few hours alone to herself.

That model is similar to one the association recommends called Lotsa Helping Hands. Another program, Share the Care, provides information on how caregivers can develop their own support group.

It is a stark reminder that family members will have to take the lead in caring for a loved one but with the help of friends and community resources, it is a challenge that no one has to face alone.

“It was hard to outline what kind of help we needed,” Spaulding said. “But once I started writing ideas down it was like turning on a faucet -they poured out.”

obvious and everyone knows it and yet we’re not really doing anything about it,” Wasserman said. “You get really good people who come up with really good recommendations and then nothing ever happens -that’s the shame.”

He supports the Alzheimer’s Association’s Leaders in Dementia Care initiative and said community awareness and education, as well as care giver preparation are the best solutions to the growing demand for dementia care.

“People who live in assisted living are the most vulnerable members of our society,” Wasserman said. “I think the most important thing we can do is to allow for resources to be available or to direct people toward those resources.”

Family Caregivers Caring for patients with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia isn’t always relegated to health care professionals. Often, that care falls to family members who don’t have the training or support for the challenges the illness brings.

The lack of a support net can lead to cases of elder abuse that range from neglect to suicidal attempts by caregivers, law enforcement and care agencies say.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 80 percent of Alzheimer’s and dementia care is in the home, and 61 percent of caregivers report stress rated high or very high because of financial strain, depression, and tension in family relationships.

The Alzheimer’s Association provides an online Community Resource Finder along with contact information for the Colorado chapter to find available resources. They include in-home assistance, visiting nurses, meal delivery and adult day programs such as those found at the renowned Senior Resource Center in Wheat Ridge recognized by the Alzheimer’s Association as a Leader in Dementia Care.

Linda Johnston is the director of the center, which serves 42 to 55 people who take part in the adult day programs designed for persons with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

“Ninety eight percent of the people that we work with live in the home with either a caregiver or an adult child, so very few are able to live on their own in an apartment,” Johnston said.

The center offers a number of resources and services in Jefferson County that include transportation services, care management, mental health outreach and help with developmental disabilities as well as volunteer services for minor home repairs, housekeeping services and companionship services through weekly visits.

“It’s not infrequent for caregivers to have health problems because of the stress that they are under,” Johnston said. “We feel like when a family comes here we certainly take care of the participant during the day. But we also care deeply for the family member and try to offer resources for them whether it is educational classes or whether it’s financial planning or just information about other services in the community.”

Golden resident, Sara Spaulding, and former vice president of communications for the Alzheimer’s Association Colorado Chapter, has firsthand experience in the tremendous undertaking in caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s.

Her husband, Bill, was diagnosed around the age of 54 with younger-onset Alzheimer’s leaving a working Spaulding as the primary caregiver. As his condition progressed, Spaulding found herself declining invitations

Analysis: Attack ad may pass Hickenlooper Governor hard to hit as economy booms

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com An attack ad released against Gov. John Hickenlooper last week started out like any other negative ad — grainy, blackand-white footage followed by a series of assaults on the governor for his failure to “make the tough decisions.”

The ad, which was paid for by the Republican Governors Association, included footage of Hickenlooper recently playing pool with President Obama at a downtown Denver bar.

It goes on to show footage of shots taken by a really bad pool player — who is symbolically Hickenlooper — as a narrator rattles off a laundry list of attacks on the governor’s record.

“Colorado’s been hustled enough,” the narrator says, before going on to tout Hickenlooper’s opponent this fall, Republican former Congressman Bob Beauprez.

Almost immediately after the ad was released, Hickenlooper fired back with an ad of his own, one that was brutally … positive?

“Four years ago, we promised to run a positive campaign, and we did,” said Hickenlooper, looking right into the camera.

Hickenlooper then spends the next 30 seconds talking about how much the economy has improved under his watch and how communities are rebounding after

floods ravaged parts of the state last year.

Hickenlooper made no reference to Beauprez in the ad. Nor has he done so in any other ad or campaign press release.

The Beauprez camp, meanwhile, has attacked Hickenlooper every chance it’s had: “Flip-flops” on the death penalty; his “out of touch” gun-control agenda; and anything else they think will stick.

So far, it has been a story of two campaign strategies: one that fires away and reloads versus one that ducks the bullets and smiles.

“They want to paint Hickenlooper as bumbling or indecisive, but they’ve got to do something because Hickenlooper is not the easiest guy to attack, in part because people like him,” said John Straayer, a political science professor at Colorado State University.

“But if they get too nasty, it could have a boomerang effect.”

Hickenlooper has pledged to run only positive campaigns in his political career and, so far, that strategy has paid dividends.

But what happens if the going gets tough for a governor who isn’t used to throwing a punch?

“What if someone keeps taking a baseball bat to you and all of the sudden you find yourself down in the polls, then what do you do?” said Norman Provizer, a political science professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

`Both Ways Bob’ ad hurt Negative campaign attacks are as old

as politics itself. And some of the most effective political ads have been mercilessly negative.

“People do not like negative advertising; at the same time, it has an impact on people,” Provizer said.

Beauprez is no stranger to the impact negative attacks can have on a campaign.

His failed 2006 gubernatorial campaign was derailed in part by attacks — started by a fellow Republican — that labeled him “Both Ways Bob” on key issues.

For this campaign, Beauprez, through stump speeches, campaign statements and through outside political groups, has been trying to label Hickenlooper as a failed leader who flip-flops on issues.

“We intend to present the contrast between John Hickenlooper’s failed leadership and Bob’s plan for Colorado,” said Beauprez communications director Allen Fuller, defending the campaign’s attacks.

Fuller also said voters shouldn’t be bamboozled into thinking that Hickenlooper is merely taking the high road whenever attacks come his way.

“We’ve all read the blueprint, that Hickenlooper is running a positive campaign,” he said. “Coloradans are going to get the joke ... knowing full well that the Democratic Party and a host of blue groups are hitting back.”

Eddie Stern, a spokesman for the Hickenlooper campaign, said he isn’t concerned about attacks from Beauprez sticking and resonating in the voters’ minds while the governor runs a positive campaign.

“We don’t think Colorado needs more

negative campaigning or angry politics,” Stern said.

Provizer said he understands why those who want to see Hickenlooper lose are tempted to run attack ads.

“The simple reality is, the incumbent has a record,” he said. “When you’ve been in power and done things, you’re going to have issues there that are a reality. But at some point (the other side) also has to come back with what it is going to do.”

Straayer said that those who are out to defeat Hickenlooper are piling on as many issues as they can, seeing as how the economic outlook in Colorado has been on the upswing in recent years.

“The economy is strong, so what are you going to do?” Straayer said. “To say he’s got a failed governorship and look at the shape the state’s in, it just doesn’t sell very well in the trajectory of the economy. So what do you do? You jump on misstatements and on the death penalty.”

But polls over the summer have shown that Beauprez and Hickenlooper are locked in a tight race. And observers wonder if Hickenlooper will change his tone in October, if polls still show a close contest.

They also wonder if Hickenlooper is even capable of turning into an attack dog.

“When he’s run before, it’s been positive, good-humored and quirky, but honest and straightforward, and that’s who he is as a candidate,” Provizer said. “He would have a harder time going negative because that’s a real contradiction of what people think he is, and suddenly turning into a pit bull may not work.”

Salazar hopes to continue work for the disadvantaged

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Joe Salazar, current House District 31 Representative, is campaigning for a second term representing Thornton and parts of unincorporated Adams County.

The Democrat grew up in Thornton, earning his K-12 education in the Adams 12 Five Star School District. Over the years he’s lived in just about every part of

House District 31, learning the needs of his constituents. It wasn’t until January of 2011 that he decided to run for his first political office.

“The Republicans actually inspired me to run in the 2012 election after hearing about how they were trying to sneak through a provision that would have stripped funding away from low income and free and reduced students,” he said.

“I was infuriated by that. I was just outraged, so I decided to run.”

Salazar has dedicated is adult life to supporting the low income and disadvantaged community. As a civil rights attorney, he considers himself a gatekeeper for those disadvantaged. He said Colorado will not be the greatest state until everyone is working together at the same time.

“Low income and middle income families are still struggling,” he said.

“We need to get them on track by not only providing them a proper K-12 education but also helping them with higher education to make sure we are Joe Salazar all part of the economic engine.”

Education is one of Salazar’s biggest focuses as a representative. He said with a large number of students in Adams County school districts, like Adams 12 and Mapleton, qualifying for free and reduced lunches, it’s important those students continue to get the support they need to be successful in school, including having the opportunity to attend higher education in an affordable manner.

“Last year I met with constituents to bring about a bill on higher education funding to help low and middle income people afford to send their kids to college,” Salazar said. “And it passed last year, which it positively impacting those low and middle income families, especially in Thornton.”

Although Salazar is proud of the legislation he sponsored and supported this past session, he says he still has unfinished business. If re-elected he plans on addressing criminal justice issues and economic spending. Until then, he’s knocking doors and making phone calls in an effort to connect with the Thornton community on a personal level.

“As representatives we don’t make a lot of money. We are getting paid $30,000 a year to have a 24/7 job, seven days a week, so we’re not doing this for fame, glory or riches,” he said. “We are doing this because we really want to help our neighbors and our community.”

Salazar is running against Republican Carol Beckler. For information on Salazar and his campaign, visit www.salazarforhd31.com.

Peyton plugs Gatorade in odd ads Chihuly’s standout pieces join forces with nature

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com

n 2001, renowned Seattle-based glass artist Dale Chihuly began what has become the “Garden Cycle,” which involves placing his astonishing creations among the flower, shrub and tree collections in large public gardens in the U.S. and abroad.

His installation at Denver Botanic Gardens opened June 14 and will remain until Nov. 30, as plants grow and change through the seasons. It will look different at different times of day, in sun or shadows — and sensational when lighted after dark.

Some, such as the “Perennial Fiori” sprouting from formal flower beds, or the orange, tree-like “Summer Sun” one sees near the entrance, are obviously inspired by plant forms.

The “Blue Icicle Towers” that greet the entering visitor with a burst of glitz and glamour perhaps speak more of rock crystals — still in the realm of nature.

Just beyond is “Summer Sun,” a tree-like blaze of 1,901 orange, red and yellow glass elements. As one enters, a turn to the left will pass through formal flower beds with sleek “Perennial Fiori” amidst the lupines, daisies and echinaceas: sleek, striped, curvy shapes and slender pointed ones in varied colors.

Near the Waring House, where administrative offices are found, is a pond with “White Persian Towers” and “Turquoise Reeds and Marlins.” A look to the right brings one to the 30-foot-tall “Saffron Tower and Cattails,” with neon tubes.

Walk past a pond and the “White Tower” and return to the main walkway, headed west towards the main water gardens, where floats, in and around boats, as well as the “Blue and Purple Bat and Walla Wallas” await discovery.

At the western edge in the Porter Plains, in prairie grass, is a series of tall, thin “Red Reeds,” with some of the longest hand-blown glass elements Chi-

huly and his team created.

One will want to return at dusk when lights give a magical glow to these art pieces. Special night programming is planned in October and November from Dale Chihuly was born in Tacoma, Wash., in 1941 5:30 to 9 p.m. and discovered glass while studying interior deTour guides sign at the University of Washington.

Chihuly’s studio shipped six 53-foot containers to Denver for the show, and it took 11 team members 11 days to install all the works. There are 14 sites with installations in the Botanic Gardens, and maps are available to find them all.

While we realize that some consider the Chihuly art glass works a distraction from the plants, we feel that the Botanic Gardens is also proud to be a certified museum, and its annual inclusion of art elements is an entirely appropriate way to entice more viewers for gardens and art.

It’s just a most happy place to spend a few hours on any given day — on more than one occasion, since the plants are constantly growing and changing. Relax and

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is upping his commercial cred by adding Gatorade to his growing list of product endorsements.

Two new TV spots have been released under the tagline “Gatorade: Sweat It To Get It.” In each ad, a woman attempts to buy Gatorade at a convenience store, but the red-vested clerk deems these customers unworthy.

In each scenario, the clerk tells the women that Gatorade is only for people who work out. Since he sees no sign of sweat, they don’t deserve the post-exercise drink.

Manning plays the store manager, whom the clerk asks to clarify the store policy to each of the sweat-free gals. In one commercial, Manning grabs the Gatorade and hurls it across the store. “Go deep,” he says.

In the second ad, the woman says it’s her birthday, and she confesses that she’s buying the drink for a hangover. When Manning-the-manager comes to the clerk’s aid, the two challenge the birthday girl to perform a yoga position so she can sweat.

Both ads are scary believable in a “Candid Camera” way. Manning plays a convincing manager, which could serve him well with his Papa John’s franchises.

Check out the spots at http://bit. ly/1riG1Nt and at http://bit.ly/1o61ZLC.

Shoe collectors unite for charity

Calling all shoe collectors (who me?): those shoes you no longer want are desperately needed to help fight global poverty. That’s the message being delivered by Michele James, who has launched a Back to School Shoe Drive to collect 10,000 pairs of shoes to help the poor.

The shoes that Soles4Souls.CO collects will be delivered to Soles4Souls, an international anti-poverty organization that distributes some donated shoes and clothing directly to people in need and sells the rest to create sustainable jobs and fund direct relief efforts. Founded in 2007, the organization has distributed more than 25 million shoes in more than 100 countries.

“Soles4Souls.CO is supporting Soles4Souls because it is the definition of a social enterprise where solid business practices are used to create positive change in people’s lives,” James said. ”Colorado has been a strong supporter of Soles4Souls’ anti-poverty mission, and we hope to take a big step in providing the organization with the used shoes they require to keep making a sustainable difference for people in need.”

Bring shoes to any Colorado location listed at soles4souls.org/locations. Use the zip code locator to find the drop off spot nearest to you.

For more information, contact James at 720-320-1755 or Soles4Souls.CO@ gmail.com.

Recycling earns cash for school

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com It’s not uncommon to see Jessica Miller rummaging through the trash. The sixth-grade Woodrow Wilson Academy teacher is on a mission to recycle and upcycle as much material as possible while teaching her students the same lesson.

Four years ago, Miller implemented the TerraCycle program at Woodrow Wilson in Westminster. TerraCycle is an international upcycling and recycling company that takes difficult-to-recycle packaging and turns it into affordable, innovative products. As students begin collecting items, the schools earn points for every unit of waste they collect and send to TerraCycle. The points can eventually be redeemed for cash that will go directly back to the school.

“We’re so excited that Woodrow Wilson Academy has cho-

sen to work with us to make this huge impact on our environment” said TerraCycle CEO Tom Szaky.

“We congratulate them for what they’ve achieved so far, and can’t wait to see what they continue to collect.”

So far, students and staff at Woodrow Wilson Academy have earned $1,000. Miller said she’s not sure how the money will be used, but does know it will go towards beautifying the school.

“It’s really awesome because kids volunteer during their lunch to help sort all of the trash,” Miller said. “After they’ve volunteer for eight hours, they receive a free Tshirt.”

When sorting the trash, Miller and her students are keeping an eye out for drink pouches, snack bags, glue bottles, glue sticks, cereal boxes, dairy tubes and personal-care items like shampoo bottles. Students also bring in recyclables from home to add to the TerraCycle program. Miller said

she hopes to continue to expand the program because she knows there’s still so much more recycling to be done.

“The sixth-graders I have actually go around to the younger classes to teach about the TerraCycle program and why it’s important to recycle,” she said. “Hopefully by the time the younger students get to sixth grade they’ll know all about TerraCycle and will be that much more willing to participate and help the school recycle as much as possible.”

Recycling for TerraCycle points is just the beginning at Woodrow Wilson Academy. Miller is also an avid upcycler who is recruiting her students to follow suit. Twice a week she teaches a crafting class after school where students create jewelry out of recycled materials like pop cans and old gift cards.

Miller also hosts a couple afterschool jewelry-crafting sessions aimed at special causes. A few years ago, Woodrow Wilson Acad-

emy teacher John Wright died of leukemia. Every year the school hosts the Wright Cause Walk to raise money for a fund that provides money to families within the school who are dealing with cancer. The money helps pay for medical bills and other expenses.

Miller said the jewelry is sold

during the event and all the proceeds go back to the cancer fund.

“We are a pretty small community so we want to always support each other,” Miller said. “And the jewelry we make and sell goes back to a fund that can make a difference for a family.”

“BBQ Pitmasters,” Johnny Trigg, will attend the event.

Check out the Four Corners Folk Festival in Pagosa Springs.

Get your hunting story straight We are peeking around the corner and seeing fall fast approaching. The Broncos have been on the practice field for weeks, and hunters have received their April big game license (or rejection) in the mail and all leftover licenses have been allocated to hunters on a first come, first served basis.

These are the first early, critical and time-sensitive hunt planning steps for outdoors sportsmen and women.

But there is work ahead for both the seasoned hunter and the novice. The novice can always use extra help, and this is where the Division of Parks and Wildlife’s annual Game Hunting Stories are truly valuable.

The division (CPW) provides an annual “story package” for the fall big-game hunting season. There are 25 different stories containing valuable big-game hunting information and suggestions, all written by the CPW pro-

fessional staff. The writers are big-game managers, biologists, law enforcement staff, planners, public information officers and a variety of other technical personnel. All stories are easily accessible online by searching at cpw. state.co.us/aboutus/Pages/BigGameHuntingStories.aspx. Photos that support the stories can be found online as well at http://cpw.state.co.us/aboutus/Pages/ PhotoGallery.aspx.

The stories include Know the Rules and Your Limits; Be Sure You Know Where You are Hunting; Hunting Ethically; Hunting Gear Checklist; Common Hunting Violations Can be Costly; Pronghorn Provide Unique Hunting Challenge and Some Private Ranches Open to Hunters. The other 17 stories contain equally helpful big-game hunting information that will help a hunt be more safe and productive.

Racetrack gambles on polls to add gaming Ballot issue sees out-of-state money flood Colorado

By Katie Kuntz

Rocky Mountain PBS I-News A Colorado racetrack has the chance to become the state’s largest casino this November, and it’s quickly creating the most expensive issue fight in the state’s 2014 election.

The racetrack, Arapahoe Park, is operated

by Mile High USA, a subsidiary of a Rhode Island-based racing and entertainment company. So far, Mile High USA has contributed more than $2 million towards a ballot measure that would allow the racetrack to add up to 2,500 slot machines.

Amendment 68 has met all the qualifications to be added to this fall’s ballot, after supporters submitted more than 130,000 signatures for verification on July 14.

The pitched battle between gambling interests in the mountain casino towns in Cripple Creek, Central City and Black Hawk, and the horse track in Arapahoe County has already generated more than $11 million in fundraising, and opponents to the measure have spent more than $7 million to defeat the proposal before voters even see it.

“The majority of our spending so far has been to sure up advertising space come this fall,” said Michelle Ames, spokesperson for the Don’t Turn Race tracks into Casinos issue committee, which opposes initiative 135. “I think that our strongest arguments are just the facts: this is a ballot initiative written by a single Rhode Island company that wants to increase its bottom line. I think Coloradans will see that for what it is and they will reject the initiative just like they did in 2003.”

In 2003, a similar initiative was introduced to Colorado voters who rejected the gaming expansion by a 4-1 margin. Still, proponents of the measure believe that the time is ripe to try once again.

“I think that our country has gone through a lot in the last 10 years and if you base any of your assertions on what happened then versus what is happening now, that’s not going to give a good bet,” said Becky Brooks, Arapahoe Park spokesperson. “We have had some successes on this track; the attendance is up and we think this is the right time to do this.”

But several Black Hawk casinos that are already established in Colorado do not believe this is the right time to expand gaming. In fact, five of the largest Black Hawk casinos have

already contributed $8.8 million to the campaign against this expansion.

And those casinos also have out-of-state ties.

For example, one supporter of Don’t Turn Racetracks into Casinos is Ameristar Casinos, a Pinnacle Inc. subsidiary whose headquarters are in Las Vegas. Ameristar has already contributed about $2.8 million against this ballot initiative.

Another Las Vegas casino company who has contributed over a million dollars to the campaign is Affinity Gaming Inc., which operates Golden Gates and Golden Gulch casinos in Black Hawk.

A St. Louis. Mo. company, Isle of Capri, is responsible for contributing $2.2 million to stop the expansion of Arapahoe Park.

“It’s basically just a big battle between corporate interests,” said Eric Sondermann, an independent political analyst from Denver.

“This is not an election where passions are going to be high among ordinary voters; this is a corporate fight all the way.”

But Mile High USA, in a desire to be more appealing to voters this time around, promised 34 percent of the net income from slot machines, or an estimated $114 million annually, to the Colorado K-12 education fund.

This is in contrast to the $104 million that all of Colorado’s 38 casinos paid in statewide taxes during the fiscal year that ended July 1, 2014.

Still, $114 million may not be a large enough contribution to gain support from the education community.

“I am going to be very surprised if there are people from the public education sector who will support this thing like they did two years ago to increase taxes,” Sondermann said.

“That was going to raise about a billion dollars for K-12 education. It doesn’t seem likely that $100 million is enough money to be worth it.”

While Arapahoe Park pledges to bolster the education fund, opponents to the measure say this new expansion will drastically change Colorado’s landscape of limited gambling, and decrease some of the funding for projects already voter approved.

Steve Boulter, who operates Dostal Alley, a family owned casino in Central City, fears that the Arapahoe Park casino would not expand the gambling community in Colorado, but would only take business from other establishments.

“We think that this would completely annihilate these historic towns and everything that we have done to help the economic survival of our community,” Boulter said. “We aren’t afraid of some competition and they are more

Exquisite Gift Ideas from

than welcome to build up here in Central City, but they are trying to write their own rules into our constitution.”

As of July 1, 2014, none of the casinos in Central City had contributed to the campaign against the casino expansion; explaining they did not have extra money to enter the fight.

So far, all of the $11 million in contributions to the opposing committee have come from

large Black Hawk casinos. The only financial contributor to the supporting committee has been the owner of Arapahoe Park.

Those interests have created the most expensive issue battle in the state, accounting for nearly half of all the $23 million in issue committee funding.

A blockbuster of a problem Drive-in sparring with city over traffic concerns

By Brent New The car flood that is 88th Avenue and Rosemary appears to have found its latest victim — the 88 Drive-in in Commerce City. In this nobody-acclaimed drama, theater owner Susan Kochevar says she is being blamed for the high volume of traffic that is taking place right outside her theater.

In fact, she says, the police chief has been harassing her to make changes to the layout of her theater, and her family business is being put in serious jeopardy.

“They want me to rip up my driveway and run cars in a different way,” said Kochevar, who accuses the police of making things uncomfortable and writing her patrons unwarranted tickets as they are trying to get into the theater. “We have never had trouble with the city before this, so why now? This would kill us financially.”

The Commerce City Police Department and city council members have denied accusations of trying to push out the theater, saying the theater’s current layout is a public-safety issue. They said they hope to find a mutually beneficial way to solve it.

“Nobody is trying to shut down the 88 Drive-In,”

The 88 Drive-Inn in Commerce City has caused concerns about traffic patterns. Photo by Brent New said Michelle Halstead, director of communications for Commerce City. “We are searching for a way to work collaboratively with them to ensure business success and public safety in the same manner we have with other big businesses here, such as the Mile High Flea Market and Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.”

What’s standing in the way is a difference of viewpoint on the traffic jam that affects 88th Avenue and Rosemary.

The city says vehicles blocking the fire station entrance, stopping on active railroad crossings and blocking the driveways of other properties in the area are there largely in part to the backups caused by the theater crowds.

Kochevar — who has a petition with nearly 20,000

signatures (as of Friday morning) to keep her drive-in open without having to make changes — says the traffic is bad on the road whether her theater is open or not.

She says she is being used as a scapegoat to blame for this convoluted problem.

“Why should I have to change the layout and suffer the financial damage on something that is packed whether (88 Drive-in) is open or not,” Kochevar said.

To date, the city has put up traffic signs ithat urge patrons to use Highway 2 to get to theater. In hopes of a more permanent solution, however, the two sides will meet Wednesday, Aug. 20.

“Hopefully we can get on the same page and work together on this,” Halstead said.

QUESTION: Can depression be hereditary? If so, what can I do to help keep myself healthy and prevent depression if I have a family history of depression?

ANSWER: Studies looking at the genetic makeup of twins with depression have found that depression is approximately 40 to 50 percent inheritable. There have been differing conclusions about this figure, meaning that approximately 50 percent of the cause could be genetic and approximately 50 percent could be due to environmental factors.

It also may mean that for some people, the tendency to become depressed is almost entirely genetic, and for others, it’s not genetic at all. The short answer is that it is not completely understood.

We do know that 10 percent of the population in the United States will experience Major Depressive Disorder at some point in their life and people whose family members have had depression are considered “at risk” and are almost two to three times more likely to experience a depressive episode.

It’s important to remember there are differing levels of depression. Situational depression is common, but temporary, whereas Major Depressive Disorder, which is a diagnosable disease, is more severe. Someone whose close relatives have suffered from depression should not necessarily be worried that they will experience Major Depressive Disorder.

Evidence-based research shows that behavioral activation is the most effective form of treatment for depression and will help to prevent depression. This includes remaining physically and mentally active and fighting against social withdrawal. The tendency for people who are prone to depression is to isolate, which only worsens the depressive episode and negative thinking. By remaining active, reaching out and scheduling activities, we boost the natural chemicals in our brains that counteract depression.

When depression lasts longer than two weeks and you’re experiencing daily sadness, loss of energy, appetite changes, sleep changes, helplessness or hopelessness, or if you have thoughts of suicide, it’s important to seek help from medical or mental health professionals.

Parenting to teenaged anger and outbursts QUESTION: As a parent, how do I best deal with my teenage son’s anger and outbursts?

ANSWER: The teenage years can be a trying time for both a teen and his parents. While your teen is attempting to navigate the emotional, physical and social changes that arise, you’re attempting to determine how to best support him — not easy tasks! Both can lead to overwhelming emo-

tions, including anger.

Important things to consider when responding to your teen’s anger: Respond to early warning signs, including frequent crying, withdrawal, increased irritability, and other behavior changes: “I’ve noticed you’ve been spending a lot of time by yourself. Would you like to talk?” If your teen turns down your offer, remember you cannot force him into talking, but you can let him know you’re available.

Attempt to understand the cause: What is your teen trying to communicate? His perspective may be different from yours, but it’s his experience and is contributing to his emotions. Try to understand, not deny it. The causes of anger aren’t excuses for the outburst but will help you understand the situation. Remember, feelings of confusion, sadness, fear, anxiety, guilt and helplessness often underlie anger.

Be aware of your own emotional response: You’re not able to control your teen’s emotions, but you can manage yours.

Model healthy ways to manage emotions. Take a breath and step back for a moment. You’ll be more effective when you can respond, not react.

Separate the emotion from the behavior: Anger is OK. Destructive behaviors are not. “I understand you’re angry you can’t go out because your homework wasn’t completed. Some rules may upset you, however throwing books will not change the rule and will lead to consequences.”

Avoid challenging your teen during an outburst: Stating, “I told you to do your homework, but you didn’t. It’s your own fault you’re mad,” will escalate the situation further. Avoid comments of criticism, shame or judgment.

Allow for space: If you or your teen need to step away from the situation and can do so safely, allow yourselves to. Attempting to engage in conversation when emotionally overloaded will likely be counterproductive.

Seek professional support: When anger leads to destructive behaviors or when you notice regular patterns, seeking support from physicians, school counselors, or mental health professionals is strongly encouraged for the youth and family. If he is an immediate danger to himself or others, call 911. As a parent, it’s helpful to build yourself a support system of family members and others from your community.

Story in full gallop “The Horse Lover” by H. Alan Day with Lynn Wiese Sneyd, foreword by Sandra Day O’Connor 2014, University of Nebraska Press $24.95 / $28.95 Canada 243 pages For most of your life, you’ve been told to dream big.

Reach for the stars, they’ve said. Go for it. Just do it. Carpe diem.

That’s all good advice, especially when you don’t yet know what your deepest dream is. It’s even better advice when, as in “The Horse Lover” by H. Alan Day (with Lynn Wiese Sneyd), your dream is a little wild.

Alan Day did not need another ranch.

He already owned a 198,000-acre spread that “straddled” Arizona and New Mexico and a 45,000-acre ranch in Nebraska, but touring the 35,000-acre Arnold Ranch in South Dakota felt curiously like coming home. Day fell in love with the land and, without a solid plan, made an offer to purchase.

No, he wasn’t sure what to do with the ranch – until a friend coincidentally presented an intriguing proposal: the Bureau of Land Management had been in charge of capturing wild mustangs for years, but there was a problem with unadoptable horses. Day’s friend likened the animals’ holding pens to a sort of prison that was expensive to run.

A privately-held sanctuary seemed to be a good solution for Day’s new ranch, taxpayers, and horses alike. And so – after months of preparation and piles of official paperwork – 1,500 horses were delivered to the newly-named Mustang Meadows Ranch.

The first business at hand was to train the horses. Day, a cattleman at heart, knew that skittish animals could be taught to acclimate to humans, so he and his cowboys set about doing so. This helped calm the mustangs, and facilitated moving them and caring for their health. Out of old, tiny corrals and in an atmosphere they were “born” to roam, once-scruffy horses grew fat and sleek on prairie grasses, and individual personalities began to emerge. The BLM was happy, and so was Day. But then, as often happens, politics got in the way. Local government officials tried to have Day arrested due to an accident.

BLM officers directed him to do something unimaginable. They took his horses for reasons he thinks he figured out.

And on April 13, 1993, everything fell apart …

I have mixed feelings about this book, and here’s why: “The Horse Lover” is a gorgeous book. Beautiful, really, but it’s littered with wince-worthy memories that I really wish I’d never had to read.

Author H. Alan Day (with Lynn Wiese Sneyd) is a true gentleman cowboy and an exceptional storyteller: from start to finish here, we’re treated to one anecdote after another of horses he’s loved and people he’s known. Over and over, I felt like I was leaning on a fence while reading, smelling horseflesh, and listening to nickers and prairie – all good signs of a tale that pulls you in and keeps you there.

But then there are peeks at the reality of ranch life, years ago, and that’s hard stuff to read. It doesn’t completely overtake this memoir but it crops up and bears mentioning. Keep that in mind and beware, and “The Horse Lover” could be a dream book.

“It might be being done to the advantage of appealing to his own party,” he said. “But I just wonder whether they’re getting a lot of traction out of that beyond the base of their own party.”

Provizer said voters care more about Colorado’s improved economy than issues like the death penalty.

“If I were a candidate and I had a choice between being attacked on the death penalty or unemployment being down to around 5 percent, it wouldn’t be a question of what I would choose,” Provizer said.

Still, a polarizing issue like this one could have on an impact on at least a small percentage of the electorate — perhaps enough to flip a tight election.

“I think we all understand, in any close election, little things can make an enormous difference,” Provizer said. “I can say the death penalty question is not a major issue, but in a close election, it could make a difference.”

Home Internet could take him further.

Warriors aiming for new heights Westy football passing to take larger role

By Scott Stocker It’s not just a player’s height that counts in basketball, but in special cases, it doesn’t hurt to be tall in football either.

And, it’s height that may lead to some major changes for the Westminster football team.

Kerry Denison, who begins his fifth season as the Westminster coach, feels that his 2014 team will be the strongest he has had in his tenure. And, the mentioned height aspect could well lead to a few offensive changes for the Warriors.

“We have four receivers who are 6-foot, 3-inches or taller,” Denison said. “We’ve have been a running team, but we probably will pass more this season. These guys have been able to get off the ground in practice and now we have to see what they can do under our opponent’s defensive pressures.”

One thing that’s certainly going to help the offensive situations for Westminster is the return of senior quarterback, Jake Walklett. Walklett, by the way, comes in at 6-3, 180, so he has a bit of height to help his passing game.

“I expect to throw for more than 600 to 700 yards this season,” Walklett said.

“This could be a passing year for us and we’ve got some great receivers. I feel confident and will be ready to scramble and be more mobile on my feet. The key, I do believe, can be our receivers. We just all hope the season goes well and we can make it to state.”

That certainly sounds good to Denison. He was also quick to point out that this year’s senior class had a 9-1 record when they were freshman and they’ve been helping propel Westminster’s recent success.

“Jake is a three-year starter and his leadership is excellent,” Denison said.

“One thing that should also help is that I feel we’ve got some pretty good guys up front to give him some time to throw.

Now, we have to stay away from injuries and challenge for the conference championship.”

It’s also in a new league, the 5A Flatirons League, that Westminster will be competing in.

Among the leading receivers are junior Brian Hogan (6-3, 185), sophomore Aaron Bettis (6-4, 185) and Jordan Tafoya (6-1, 210). Ok, Tafoya isn’t over 6-3, but he has excellent spring in his feet.

When it comes time to carry the ball, and there will be plenty of times, look for senior fullback Nick Etchells (5-10, 230) to see the ball in his hands a lot. He also doubles at middle linebacker and is certainly comfortable there, as well.

“Defense will certainly be a key for us this season and our defensive coach, Tom Baum, has had us going strong,” Etchells said. “He’s just one of the best assistant coaches in the league. All of our defense pretty much returns and we’re experienced. Myself, I’ve been getting bigger and I’m working hard to be a leader and to help get everyone going in the right directions. I think we have a strong bond with our team, both on defense and offense.”

Hogan, by the way, just moved into the

“Hogan played at Pomona last year and he may end up being one of the best we have this season,” Denison said. “Bettis is a young man with a lot of potential.

Sebastian Garcia (junior, 6-0, 215) is just a great kid and does everything you ask of him. The last half of last season he led our team in tackles. He just absorbs everything like a sponge.”

Fernando Hernandez, a 6-1, 239-pound

defensive tackle, will be a leader on the line, Denison concurs.

“Our team has a strong bond and that bond is going to help us out there on the field,” Hernandez said. “We know what to expect from each other. My key is to go out in all aspects of my play and go hard.

We all just want to go out on every play and to give it everything we’ve got. I’m seeing a lot of success in our efforts this season.”

Warriors on a shift rotation Volleyball team graduated all but two of squad

By Scott Stocker Westminster volleyball coach Tim Bergman and his players, Cindy Abarca, Leslie Mendoza and Gillian Munoz are going to have a different feeling on the court this season.

After all, Abarca and Munoz are the only full time varsity returnees from last year’s 10-10 squad. To come through as top team leaders is what both are hoping for, and they have good feelings that the Warriors can have a successful season.

Mendoza moves up and she, too, has high hopes for Westminster’s success.

Bergman begins his sixth year coaching Westminster. While there are questions as to how the year will progress, he’s more than anxious to get the Warriors off on the right track as they play in the East Metro League.

“We do have a very young team as we graduated 10 of our 12 players from last year’s varsity,” Bergman said. “I’m not sure what to expect right now except a lot of dedication and effort from the girls.

It’s hard to say what we really have for the varsity here in the early goings, but the girls are all ready to have a great year and I’m pleased with their efforts.”

Bergman has high praise for his re-

turnees and feels they will be keys to Westminster’s season. Munoz is a 6-foot, 3-inch senior who he feels will certainly be strong up at the net. And, the Warriors also have welcomed Nebraska transfer student, Daja Oliver.

“Gillian will certainly be a leader,” Bergman said. “She has improved her strength greatly and this is her third year on the varsity. She played club volleyball in our off-season, worked hard all summer, and actually has the most experience of any one on our team.

“Cindy should be a plus as she was excellent on the JV team,” Bergman said.

“Daja Oliver is a junior is a transfer from Nebraska and she’s a fine outside hitter and she will make some valuable contributions. It’s nice when you count on a transfer like Daja. Sandy Lao, another senior, is an outside hitter. She’s very athletic and will also be a good leader on the court. She’s positive and sparkling.”

Abarca, at 5-1, will be playing as the Libero and she’s confident Westminster can come through with a fine season.

“Communication will certainly be a key for us,” Abarca said. “We need to feel our chemistry and get our communications down. We had our first scrimmage against Vista Peak and it went way better than we first thought. I think we have a lot of possibilities to have a very good season.

“The key for me is to provide leadership, to support our team, but not try to

Cindy Abarca, left, and Leslie Mendoza.​Photo by Scott Stocker do everything myself,” Abarca said. “It is vital that we all play our parts for a successful season.”

Mendoza, a 5-2 senior, will also see a lot of action at the net as she is the team’s setter.

“I’ve got to be able to get to the net as quick as I can,” Mendoza said. “I just want to give it my all on the court, but that’s

what we all want. I just want to get the best sets for our hitters, try and keep our tempo solid and to not let myself down.

The key for me is to give the best effort I can to the team and help to be a leader.”

As Bergman mentions, it is going to be an interesting start and season for Westminster. The Warriors begin Sept. 3, hosting Bear Creek

Cutthroats suspend their operations Staff Report The Central Hockey League (CHL) has announced that the Denver Cutthroats have suspended operations, effective immediately, and will not compete in the 2014-15 season.

The team will look to secure additional investors with the hope of returning for the 2015-16 campaign.

Any players signed to contracts for Denver for the upcoming season became free agents immediately.

“We feel the Denver market remains a strong, viable area for minor league hockey, and has an ownership group that is passionate about making it work,” said Steve Ryan, CHL commissioner. “We are confident that with time, they will return to the ice and re-

establish themselves in the community for the years ahead.

“The league would like to thank the Denver Cutthroats ownership, team management and their loyal fans for their support, dedication and enthusiasm.”

Head over heels Thornton gymnastics looking to be a powerhouse

By Scott Stocker The Thornton gymnastic team was able to get off to a fair start in its season opener against Ponderosa, Aug. 22. And even though the Trojans were defeated by the Mustangs, 168-166, it was not unexpected.

“We are not at full strength at this point, but we are going to be strong this season,” said Thornton coach Phil Sailas. “We should be able to score consistent in the 170’s and I think we have the capabilities to come through with a 181 at some point. The girls are excited and ready to go hard.”

With the way gymnastics runs in Colorado, with not a lot of the larger schools even having gymnastics, Thornton is one team that actually combines athletes from four other schools — Brighton, Horizon, Northglenn and Westminster.

“There is just great potential here,” Sailas said. “All of our varsity girls are strong on floor exercise and we’ve got at least four in every other event that can score high for us.

We just need to stay healthy and I think we are going to open some eyes this season.”

Some of the best eye openers should

s

be senior Hannah Van Horn, juniors Sara Michie and Sierra Kirylo and freshman, Halle Bell. Also among the top returning gymnasts should be junior Brooklyn Edelen and sophomore Dusti Sandoval.

Bell scored a 9.5 on floor right out of the gate for Thornton in the opening meet against Ponderosa and Sailas is extremely high on what he feels she can accomplish.

“Yes, the expectations are high for this young lady,” Sailas said. “What a way to start your season, and even greater that she’s a freshman. Her confidence is high and she’s certainly one who is backing everyone on the team.”

Bell was more than pleased with her opening night, but it wasn’t unexpected.

“My best event is floor,” said Bell, who attends Brighton. “I think this season we will work well as a team. I’m just so pleased to be able to compete in high school. As a team, our key is to stay focused and work hard to always improve. What’s nice is that I do have a high school team I can compete with during the season.”

Van Horn has been best for Thornton on the uneven bars while Michie feels at home on the balance beam.

“The Bars are usually the best for me and I think it’s going to be a fine and fun season,” Van Horn said. “We support each

Left to right: Hannah Van Horn, Sara Michie, Halle Bell. Photo by Scott Stocker other and that’s important. I feel really good and I think we do have an opportunity to win state as team.

“I’ve been to state on the bars and vault,” Van Horn said. “My goal is to make state this year in the all-around. We have a lot of good girls on our team and I think we can go a long ways.”

Michie is also confident she’ll qualify for state this season and has high hopes she can place among the state’s best.

“My best event is the beam and hopefully I will become much stronger on floor,”

Michie said. “I want us to make state and then for several of us to reach the second day of competitions for the individual events. We’re so much better than last year and it’s great to have a lot of team bonding.”

Kirylo placed seventh in state last season on vault, and Sailas thinks she will be so much stronger this time around.

“All the varsity girls can do full flips on floor and five of the girls have Giants on the bars,” Sailias said. “That right there is a plus.

Again, we just have to stay away from injuries.”

Volleyball squad eager to start anew Volleyball fans at Standley Lake are certainly hoping for a huge turn around in this season’s campaign. And, there is a good reason.

Standley Lake only won one match last season while losing 21. One thing they hope will help is the fact the Gators have dropped in classification and into the 4A, Jefferson County League.

Dolly Kiessling, takes over the program at Standley Lake and she feels the Gators are certainly on their way to improvement. She has the players involved in a new system which she hopes they can take under their control.

“Among the keys is to come out and practice hard, pushing for excellence every time they step onto the court,” Kiessling said. “We have had some great practices and I think the girls are ready to put some wins on the court and to vastly improve. They are moving well and helping each other. They just really want to go out and improve themselves.”

Among the top players returning are Rachael Willihnganz, Kelsie Winterfield and Casey Torbet. It’s a trio that Kiessling has been well pleased with in the early practice sessions. She will get her first look at her team in action when they play at Pomona, Aug. 26, then travel to Thomas Jefferson, Aug. 29.

“Casey is just a fine overall athlete,” Kiessling said.

“She come out and hits hard and moves the ball well. But I want all the girls to be key players. No team can really depend on one player.”

There is little doubt that Torbet, a 5-foot, 7-inch outside hitter, hopes for a greater appearance on the court for her team and herself.

“I think this year we will have a lot of potential and build on what we learn,” Torbet said. “We want to build off each other and coach feels she can make us a fine team. As a senior, I definitely want us to have a good year and I want to certainly help build us as a team. I think we have the energy to help make everyone get better and to reach our potential.”

Winterfield, at 5-9, should be tough in the middle, and both she and Torbet should welcome the sets by Willihnganz.

“Being in 4A is going to help us this season,” Winterfield said. “Half of our team is new to the varsity and there is a fine, fresh feeling for want we feel we can accomplish. We want to come together and build on everything we practice. My key is to be in a more leadership role.”

It’s a leadership role that Willihnganz hopes for as she works on the proper sets for Standley Lake’s hitters.

“For me, the key is to settle in and focus on a new system,” Willihnganz said. “It’s going to be a real challenge this season. We want to use a phrase that includes “recovery.” I think we should do well in 4A, but we can’t look past anyone. Having a new coach is also nice and we all want to play at our bests for her.”

And Kiessling is certainly in agreement with the thoughts of her new team.

want to give it a great effort. I think we’re going to be a much improved team.”

While overall youth on the Thornton Thornton quarterback, Judge Mueller, has high hopes that the Trojans can im- team will be a key, Marquez is confident his prove on last season’s 4-6 record. Of course, players will be able to adjust during the seathose are the hopes of all the players and son. One of his biggest concerns is the line.

“We’re breaking in an entirely new oftheir coach, Mike Marquez.

Mueller certainly has a unique first fensive line so our identity will be different name, one in which he can also use to from the last two seasons,” said Marquez, ‘Judge’ his team as well as his own play who begins his sixth season as the Thornton head coach. “We are replacing six qualthrough his senior season.

“The key will be how I can overcome my ity offensive linemen that graduated and physical woes from last season,” said Muel- will rely heavily on underclassmen to reler, 5-foot, 11-inches, 200 pounds. “With build. For the first time in years we have to the help from my teammates I want to take seriously consider our linemen playing on charge being a leader.

offense using multiple sets and a ton of misdirection,” Marquez said. “Our system is a West Coast/Spread hybrid, but our running game is built from old wing-t principles. It is an up tempo style of offense that is fun to watch and even more fun to play and coach. The last two years we were most successful as a shotgun power team, but will look to attack the perimeter with more team speed and a young offensive line.”

One of the top targets for Mueller will be wide receiver, Ryan Akota (6-2, 200).

“We don’t have a lot of returning starters on offense,” Akota said. “We just want to make sure that we go out and do the right things and work hard to achieve our success. I want to be a constructive leader and have a lot of confidence. The key is to stay forceful and calm and not let the pressure get to me or my teammates. We have to trust and believe in what we can do and accomplish.”

While the lines may be young, there is also some fine experience on the defensive side of the field. Helping to lead the way is senior defensive back, Carlos Estrada (5’10, 155).

“We hope that all the work we put in this summer will be a benefit,” Estrada said.

“We lost a lot of seniors, but all the hard work should pay off. It has helped a great deal that we are backing each other. Our key is that most of our seniors that return are on defense, but we really don’t have a lot of returning starters. Our coach is certainly helping us and that has helped everyone pick up. I think we’re going to be alright.”

Those, too, are the thoughts of Marquez.

“Carlos may be the most reliable player in the program,” Marquez said. “He started all season at CB as a junior. He leads by example and has had a tremendous off-season. I think he has a chance to be the best DB that has played at Thornton during my time as the head coach.”

Marquez knows his team has much to overcome, but he’s confident they will be able to respond to their various situations.

He also pointed to linemen Dimitri Caudillo (6-1, 255) and Adrian Vigil (6-1, 240), linebacker Charles Medina (6-1, 210) and defensive back Elijah Miscles (5-10, 150) as ready to make valuable contributions to Thornton’s season.

Caudillo is the most experienced return-

He is considered the strongest Trojan and will be counted on to lead both sides of the ball in the trenches.

Marquez said that Vigil was a pleasant surprise in 2013 as a first year player. He rotated on the defensive and offensive lines and was a solid contributor.

Linebacker Charles Medina (6-1, 210) and defensive back, Elijah Miscles (5-10, 150) will also be counted on to be leaders on the field.

“Charles had a solid junior season with 20 tackles and 2 interceptions despite missing some time with an injury,” Marquez said. “This year he will play a key role in multiple defensive positions as he brings experience and athleticism along with size on the outside of our defense.

“Elijah started several games and was a big contributor in our nickel packages as a junior,” continued Marquz. “He can play corner back and free safety so he is very valuable to the team. He will likely play more safety this season, but mostly because we have more depth at corner and he is versatile.”

Again, overcoming inexperience will be a key for Thornton.

“The most glaring weakness for us will be experience,” Marquez said. “This is the fewest number of returning starters we will field in my time at Thornton. This year’s senior class is smaller, but they have developed at the lower levels and gradually earned their varsity spots. We may experience some growing pains early, but that experience will be made up quickly.”

The board of commissioners approved a cap restriction on municipal inmates, which was enacted Jan. 1, 2012, to help ease financial constraints at the county jail. The cap was set at 30 and was divided among nine cities: Thornton, eight; Westminster, five; Aurora and Commerce City, four

press release from the district, the percentage of middle school students scoring proficient and advanced increased on six of nine tests compared to 2013. The district also met or exceeded gains in math and reading, and was just one point shy of the standard in writing.

The district is putting a heavy focus on literacy instruction for the2014-2015 school year by increasing the amount of nonfiction reading and writing in response to such

materials, providing more focused and differentiated professional development opportunities for educators, and partnering with parents to support literacy at home.

Adams 12 Superintendent Chris Gdowski said the district’s growth rates in reading, writing and math are the highest they’ve been in three years, but there is still more work to do.

“Literacy is the gateway to learning in all content areas, and we’ve made a very delib-

erate effort to focus on improving literacy across the district leading up to the 20142015 school year,” he said. “Parents are a child’s first teacher, and we’re partnering with parents so we can collectively support student success by encouraging children to get to school on time every day; to have children read or be read to every day; and to talk to children regularly about their interests, including college and career options.”

apiece; Northglenn and Brighton, three each; and one each for Federal Heights, Arvada and Bennett.

Darr said with this new agreement, the cities would not have an individual cap.

The Sheriff’s Office will email the cities with a daily municipal inmate list, and if the cap has been exceeded, the cities must decide to either release one or more inmates or pay the $45 daily fee for each inmate exceeding the limit. The fees collected go into the Adams County general fund, not the Sheriff’s Office budget, Darr said.

“I really do believe the agreement set a good foundation for our future operations,”

he said.

Darr said that because the Sheriff’s Office was able to acquire additional staffing to expand its supervised-release program, the inmate population has decreased.

“It gave us a bit of a relief,” he said.

About 480 people who have not gone to trial yet are part of the supervised-release program, Darr said. However, he said some or many of those people could eventually be sentenced to serve jail time by the court.

The key to reducing inmate population, Darr said, was changing how convicts were sentenced — more people who committed low-level crimes could be put on probation.

The Adams County Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee was formed to find permanent solutions to curb the jail population. As part of the temporary agreement, the parties in the lawsuit agreed to continue with the committee.

“We look forward to a permanent agreement on this issue which will ensure the city of Thornton and its residents receive the jail services they are currently paying for,” Williams said.

Property taxes from residents in Adams County fund the jail operations, which is why many city officials oppose the cap and fee.
