The process has begun to fill the vacant seat created by Herb Atchison’s move from former city councilor to the new Westminster mayor. Fourteen people applied for the open position, but only will be appointed and sworn in during the Dec. 9 city council meeting.

City council conducted interviews with each candidate on Nov. 26 and Dec. 2. Those in the hot seat include David Aragoni, Charles Bustos, Donald Ciancio, David DeMott, Kathleen Dodaro, A.J. Elserougi, Brian Harms, Jonathan Herrmann, Michael Melvin, Mark Moreno, Suzanne Ramirez, Anita Seitz, Merelene Stanley and Deborah Teter.

According to the City Charter and the Municipal Code, any vacancy must be filled within 30 days by a majority vote of the remaining members of City Council to avoid a special election. The candidate appointed will finish the balance of Atchison’s unexpired term, which will expire November 2015.

Hudak resigns from state Senate Move comes days before recall petition deadline

Praise peppered with criticism at gathering

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com For state Sen. Evie Hudak, the risk turned out to be greater than the reward.

Rather than face a recall election, the Westminster Democrat resigned from her Senate seat on Nov. 27 in a move that will prevent reeling Democrats from potentially having to relinquish power of the Legislature’s upper chamber.

Hudak — who was twice elected to her Senate District 19 seat by slim margins — was being targeted for a recall, primarily over her votes on gun control legislation.

Holding on to her seat would have been a difficult task. Instead of risking flipping control to Republicans in the Senate, Hudak submitted her immediate resignation.

“Though it is difficult to step aside, I have faith that my colleagues will honor the legacy that my constituents and I have built,” she wrote in her resignation letter to the Secretary of the Senate. “I am thankful to my fellow legislators, who have been so supportive in recent weeks, standing by my side and encouraging me to keep fighting.”

Hudak is a former state Board of Education member who was elected to her Senate seat in 2008. District 19 includes the cities of Arvada an Westminster.

She becomes the third Democratic lawmaker to either resign or be voted out of POSTAL ADDRESS

A crowd gathered around Lorraine Bowen, a longtime Hudak supporter, as she expressed support for the former senator. Photo by Crystal Anderson office as a result of a recall effort, joining Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs and Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo, who lost their recent recall races.

Hudak’s resignation came just days before a Dec. 3 deadline for recall organizers to submit more than 18,900 recall petition signatures to the Secretary of State’s Office.

Though organizers behind “Recall Hudak Too” had many complaints about Hudak, they primarily railed against her votes for key Democrat-sponsored gun bills that were signed into law this year Hudak voted for bills that put in place universal background checks on gun sales in Colorado and limited the amount of rounds that a high-capacity ammunition magazine can hold.

After state Sen. Evie Hudak’s resignation became public Nov. 27, supporters organized a news conference commending the work she did for domestic violence and rape victims, education, and veterans at the Plaza next to Arvada Library 57th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard.

Here’s what some of her supporters said: “It hurts because she is a good woman and a very sincere and honest in what she does. All honest people trying to do good are being railroaded out of town and the bad roll in.”

Mary Justiniamo, Arvada resident “I’m sad, I thought she was a great senator, and I understand why she is resigning. I fought hard against this recall, and I hope to see her run again. I think this was wrong, a recall should be left for criminal

She also sponsored Senate Bill 197, which makes it more difficult for domestic violence offenders to possess guns.

It wasn’t just Hudak’s votes that drew the ire of conservatives. She also came under fire for her comments to a rape victim that came during a committee hearing on a separate bill that would have banned concealed handguns on college campuses.

The woman, who was testifying, said Printed on recycled that had she been able to carry a gun on newsprint. Please recycle this copy. campus, she may not have been raped.

Hudak responded in part that “statistics are not on your side, even if you had a gun.”

With Morse’s and Giron’s recent ousters, Democrats were left clinging to a one-seat advantage in the Senate. They’ll now be able to hold on to Hudak’s seat, after a spe-

activity or abuse of power.”

Tangi Lancaster, Westminster resident “I’m really disappointed that it’s come to this, and I think that Evie did a very brave thing in order to make sure that her work moves forward.”

Rachel Zenzinger, Arvada City Councilwoman Throughout the conference, recall supporters and gun proponents gathered, hoisting banners with rifles on them while standing among the supporters.

Comments included: “One more gun grabber gone, there’s a bunch more to go; every gun grabber should be on guard.”

Joe Neville, political director with Rocky Mountain Gun Owners “It’s all about the second amendment. I feel sad, I think that she should have stood for a vote from the people.”

Turk Turon, Colorado resident

cial vacancy committee convenes to select her successor.

“By resigning, I am protecting these important new laws for the good of Colorado and ensuring that we can continue looking forward,” Hudak said.

Hudak also said that she wanted to spare the $200,000 cost of a potential recall election that would have been paid by Jeffco taxpayers.

Hudak had been struggling with this decision for quite some time. She said in a recent interview with Colorado Community Media that “people will be angry if I were to resign” and that “people would be angry Hudak continues on Page 5

View of piano is black and white The 74-year-old Knabe grand piano sits silent in the room behind them. But the three women sipping tea at the small dining room table feel the music settle into them with the quiet joy only an old, beloved companion can bring.

Music.

“It’s like food,” Dee Netzel, 86, says. “I couldn’t imagine life without it.”

“It’s a passion,” says Donita Banks, 77, “a compulsion.”

The piano belongs to the third woman, the tiniest, just now able to sit at the bench after two months battling a back injury.

Rita Jo Tensly, 84, says simply: “I want to die at the piano.”

••• They call themselves “sisters” — Dee from a small Wisconsin town, Rita from New York City and Donita from Pueblo. All classical pianists, a love for music binds them tightly. But what brought them together originally was the Denver alumnae chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, an international music fraternity for women they joined while in college.

Donita, the chapter’s archivist who chronicles the organization’s history in carefully constructed scrapbooks, spreads open an album on the table and points to a picture of smiling women, the SAI Singers.

“There’s Dee and there’s me. We had a bicentennial program.” 1976.

She turns to another page and another picture. 1995.

Rita: “There I am in the front row.”

Donita: “We were looking a little younger then.”

All three burst into laughter.

On the next page is a photo of revered member Lila Putney, whose 104th birthday they celebrated in 2008. She left Denver several years ago to live near family and died this past February at 108. Donita added the obituary and stories of her life to the scrapbook.

Donita, who joined in 1960 and is one of the longest-running members, is ada-

scholarship where a professor introduced her to contemporary music.

Her son, her first child, was just seven weeks old when she accepted a job as youth choir director at a Lakewood church, the start to a career as a freelance musician who combined one-woman shows with choir directing.

“It came to be a way of life,” Donita says. And when she battled breast cancer two years ago, she couldn’t wait to play again. “I had to get back to my music. Yes, I had to get back to my regular life.”

Rita was 10 when her parents surprised her with the same piano in her sitting room for her birthday. “I took to it like a duck takes to water,” she says.

She attended Juilliard and graduated from the University of Miami in Florida, then moved to Denver in 1953 and taught elementary school music for 28 years.

She loves the classical composers. “I just love the way they put the music together. I think about the music, what they were thinking about, why they composed this music.”

Her favorites are Debussy and Mozart.

She looks at her hands. “My hands are very small.” She fans out her fingers. “So Mozart fits my hands.”

Her eyesight is failing. And that is her biggest fear.

“I dread the time if I never have any more sight to see the music because I don’t want to stop playing,” she says.

“I feel better when I play this beautiful music.”

Dee grew up in a poor, rural Wisconsin home. But her mother had inherited a piano. And to keep a mischievous Dee out of trouble, she started her with piano lessons.

“I loved the teacher; I loved the music,” Dee says. “Nobody had to make me practice and I never stopped.” She would attend the University of Wisconsin, Madison, on scholarship.

Later a staff accompanist at Metropolitan State University for 27 years, Dee began as an elementary and high school

mant the SAI alumnae chapter was a key ingredient to Lila’s longevity.

“What has kept us going,” she says, “has been music, friendship and service.”

The chapter has 44 members from their mid-20s to Dee, the oldest active member.

About 25 attend monthly meetings from September to June in homes and churches throughout the metro area, wherever a good piano can be found.

“I think one of the neat things about our group now is we are online,” Dee says, “and as careers bring people to our area, they look us up online and they find us.”

The website also brings younger women to the graying chapter.

Dee: “I love being with young people.”

“It keeps me young,” Rita says.

Dee: “We really aren’t categorized by age. … Music is just music.”

“They like us for what we are,” Rita says. “Musicians.”

••• Donita, an only child, began playing at 7 when her parents brought home an old, Baldwin Acrosonic upright piano, signed by the sister of the famed pianist José Iturbi of Spain.

“Really?” Rita asks.

“Mmmhmmm,” Donita says, smiling, remembering. “I loved piano from the beginning.”

In junior high school, she began accompanying the singers at church. In high school, she played for a singer who performed for service organizations and then was hired to accompany dancers at the Pueblo Conservatory of Music. She attended the University of Colorado on

music teacher for nine one-room schools in rural Wisconsin that she had to get to in two days.

“I’d roar up in my car and teach, then roar up to the next one,” she says. “I would spin around on the roads, I would knock over the mailboxes — I was in such a hurry.”

Dee laughs. “I was young.”

Rita smiles, taking a sip of tea. “We were all young at one time.”

Dee still practices every day, one of the reasons, she believes, that she doesn’t have any pain in her arthritic hands.

Twelve years ago, macular degeneration clouded the sight in her left eye. In August, doctors found the beginning of the disease in her right eye.

“I’m surviving,” Dee says and tells Donita and Rita about the musical program she played recently with a friend. “I played practically note-perfect. I’m going to keep going until I can’t see anything.”

••• The stories around the table this day compose a concerto of family remembered and talent ignited, of challenges faced and overcome, of the importance of sharing a singular passion with the world. They also, perhaps mostly, recount a friendship born, nurtured and sealed by the implicit understanding of a love and need for music and the deep happiness it brings.

The piano waits across the room. A brass light that cost $100 arches over the music books of Debussy and Chopin resting against the piano rack. Rita’s $400 piano glasses lie on top.

Rita: “It was worth it to me, to see the music … so I can play.”

And play they will.

Of that, there is no doubt.

As long as they can, Donita says.

Till, Dee concludes, the end.

was a person in need, Gary would find a way to help.”

Gary Prather’s organs also were able to save three lives and countless of others with his tissue donation.

Canacari and Prather will be among a group escorting the second annual Donate Life Colorado’s Gift of Life float in the Parade of Lights in downtown Denver Friday, Dec. 6, and Saturday, Dec. 7. The balloon float, in the shape of a gift box, promotes the cause of organ, eye and tissue donation.

Although Colorado has one of the highest donor designation rates in the country (67 percent of adults in the state are registered donors), there are still more than 2,200 people in Colorado waiting for transplants, said Andrea Smith with Donor Alliance.

“Just one donor can save eight lives through organ donations and save or heal more than 100 lives through tissue donations,” she said.

Smith said that anyone can register to be an organ donor, regardless of age or medical history.

“Even people with chronic diseases can potentially donate to those in need with the same form of disease,” she said.

Every year more than 300 Coloradans receive transplants. Canacari and Prather said they were proud that their loved ones help saved others in need.

tkranz@ourcommunitynews.com When Brianna was 9, she and her dad were in a car crash and at the hospital she saw the heart on his driver’s license and asked what it meant.

He explained about being an organ donor and she told him then that she if anything happened to her she wanted to help others, too.

“Of course we never thought we would be faced with this decision, what parent would think they would ever outlive their child, Brianna was only 12 when she died,” said Babette Canacari of Thornton. Brianna died after an accident. “When we had to make that decision in the hospital we knew that we would honor our daughter’s wish, we didn’t hesitate. She saved three lives with her organs and hundreds with her tissue.”

Rayna Prather of Northglenn did not hesitate to donate her husband’s organs when he died from injuries he suffered from a motorcycle crash.

“I thought that I had to honor him and his giving soul in this way,” Prather said.

BUSINESS NEWS IN A HURRY Membership drive brings in new organizations and businesses

A two-day membership drive increased the enrollment of the Metro North Chamber of Commerce by 14 percent last week, bringing the most recent count to 970 organizations, and solidifying the MNCC’s rank as seventh largest in the state.

The chamber’s campaign split 87 volunteers into nine teams, which competed against each other to gain confirmed members; and the result was an increase of 120 new members for the MNCC. The efforts generated an immediate $54,000 in revenues for the Chamber.

“I was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and dedication of the members who participated in this campaign,” said MNCC Chief Executive Officer Deborah Obermeyer. “I am so grateful to have such

a talented and engaged group of people associated with this chamber. More than anything else, it is the strong, professional character among current members that makes this chamber so appealing to prospective members of similar character. It’s a good formula for growth.”

Volunteers pitched prospective members on five basic motivations for joining the chamber: building connections, gaining market exposure, broadening influence, participating in cost-saving programs, and learning about regional issues.

The chamber celebrated the successful membership drive with an event in which it recognized some of the higher-achieving volunteers, including the team led by chamber Board Member David Foster, which generated 19 new members worth $11,000 in annual dues.

Emerald ash borer confirmed in Colorado

An invasive insect pest, the Emerald ash borer, has been confirmed in Boulder. Emerald ash borer is responsible for killing millions of ash trees in the Midwest and this is the first confirmed location in Colorado. It is estimated there are over 70,000 ash trees in Westminster that could fall prey to this insect. There are preventative pesticide applications that can be given to protect the ash trees, however it

is too soon to treat in Westminster. The recommendation is to only treat trees within five miles of a confirmed emerald ash borer site. Don’t move firewood or other ash wood products from the quarantine area of Boulder County.

with the most votes, missing out on one of the three open seats now held by Bruce Baker, Emma Pinter and Alberto Garcia. He said he’s continuing on his quest because he wants to do more for his community, but is surprised by the high number of candidates for Atchison’s seat.

“I’m surprised how many people are willing to try and get appointed compared to the number of people who went out and tried to earn the votes from the people,” he said. “But it’s kind of like staring from square one. During my campaign I went lengths to create a good rapport with all the candidates, because a good rapport is how you get things done. I tried my best to get to know all of the candidates on a per-

if I were to be recalled.”

Chris Kennedy, Hudak’s campaign manager, acknowledged that the decision was “something she had been bouncing around for a long time” and one that was made “over the last couple of days.”

“It’s been difficult,” he said. “She’s a senator. It’s what she does. It’s her identity. It’s what she stands for. She’s at peace, but that doesn’t mean it’s not difficult.”

Conservatives crowed over Hudak’s resignation.

“Coloradans are sick of the extreme Democrats trying to control their lives,” said Kelly Maher of Compass Colorado.

“These ‘progressives’ have overreached so far on so many issues that Colorado families are now ready for a new vision.”

Conservatives also took to Twitter after news of Hudak’s resignation surfaced. Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, tweeted “another #gungrab radical fails.” And a tweet from Colorado Peak Politics, a conservative blog, read, “GOOD RIDDANCE, EVIE.”

Vacancy committee to select replacement

Now, attention turns to finding Hudak’s successor. A Senate District 19 vacancy committee will meet in the coming weeks to select Hudak’s replacement.

sonal level, so hopefully that plays out well for me.”

Elserougi is another candidate vying for a spot on city council. He said although he came in last during the election, he’s still serious about making a positive difference in the community. He said he’s prepared to keep trying to reach that goal.

“Despite the election results, it’s my job to continue to try and earn a seat on city council,” Elserougi said. “I feel like it’s my responsibility.”

Teter, who was Bob Brigg’s mayoral campaign manager, is one of the newbie candidates. She said she applied for council because she believes in the strategic vision of Westminster and wants to ensure south Westminster is included in the plans.

“With so many possibilities in our neighborhood between the train and hopefully the designation of an arts district, I want to be sure that my community is properly represented,” she said.

Two names have surfaced as possible successors: Former state. Rep. Sara Gagliardi and Arvada Councilwoman Rachel Zenzinger, both of whom are Democrats.

Zenzinger announced her candidacy through a Nov. 29 news release.

“I am not pleased with the conditions that caused Evie to resign, but I am happy to make myself available in the efforts to regroup,” she said. “And I look forward to any contribution I can make in the next legislative session.”

Zenzinger’s statement includes an endorsement from Democratic state Sen. Mary Hodge of Brighton.

Gagliardi served in the House from 2006 to 2010, when she was defeated by current District 27 Rep. Libby Szabo.

Gagliardi has been endorsed by Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, who also considered vying for Hudak’s seat, but decided against it.

During recent interviews, Zenzinger and Kraft-Tharp praised Hudak’s Senate record.

“I think Evie’s name is synonymous with kids and education,” Zenzinger said. “And coming up from the state Board of Education, obviously she has is a real commitment for that, that she carried over to the Legislature, which is a phenomenal focus on kids and schools.”

“Evie has been a hard-working policy maker,” Kraft-Tharp said. “I think the majority of the district knows she’s been working hard for us.”

opinions / yours and ours

Joining forces with trust in tough tides Survey results about trust always turn our heads.

As the saying goes we build credibility by the teaspoon and lose it by the bucket when we make a mistake in our line of work.

A recent Gallup survey indicated people have confidence in newspapers with 9 percent at a “great deal” and 14 percent at “quite a lot.” It represented a slip from two years earlier when the numbers were 12 percent and 16 percent respectively.

This year our lot was nestled below TV news but above big business in the bottom half of the summarized list. HMOs took the bottom spot, and the military took the top spot with 43 percent at “great deal” and 33 percent “quite a lot.” By the way, nice work by small business taking second place.

And another recent survey, the annual governance survey Gallup poll, pointed out that confidence in government’s

our view ability to handle international problems tallied a low with 49 percent expressing a great deal or a fair amount of confidence, reportedly 2 percentage points down from the previous mark of 51 percent in 2007.

But just this past week, we found sad numbers from another recent survey – The Associated Press-GfK Poll, conducted by GfK Public Affairs & Corporate Communications – that points to an erosion of trust person to person. In broad strokes, the survey mirrors reported trends that the percentage of people who believe most people can be trusted is in decline.

The survey results asked respondents to share how much they trust “people who

What would you like to see from your community newspapers?

We asked people out and about in Arvada what they would like to see from their community paper.

“I read the Westminster paper, and I like to look at the spotlights on high school kids and the different kinds of activities or upcoming things I could maybe take my kids to.”

April Everitt, Westminster resident

“I would like to see more positive news on the front page. It was nice during the flooding to see those ‘We’re helping out’ pieces.”

Eden Welker, Berthoud resident

“I’m interested in seeing local stuff, the good things that happen.”

Sherrie Garner, Loveland resident

“I love hyper-local news!

The articles I find most interesting are those where the reporter goes out and talks with people about how actions by city governments are affecting them personally — both for good and for bad.”

they may not know very well” in various situations. The highest level of trust came for “people who have access to your medical records when you visit a doctor or hospital people,” with 50 percent choosing “a great deal/quite a bit.” Even in this top category, 29 percent said “just somewhat,” and 17 percent said “not much or not at all” in the same category.

The highest level of distrust was in the category of “people driving the cars around you when you’re driving, walking or biking,” with 39 percent at “not much” or “not at all,” which makes sense given the random interactions on the streets.

The three lowest levels of trust came in situations that are generally more random, such as interactions with people who swipe credit cards, people driving cars around you, and people met while traveling. The three highest levels of trust generally involved where the relationship may be less random and in some cases

involve an ongoing relationship, such as with people who have access to medical records, people who prepare food, and people meet while traveling or away from home.

Seems like the more people are connected by the conveniences of modern life, the more disconnected they are in other ways, such as building trust. We notice that trust is stronger in smaller circles where people have repeated interactions with the people who make up their lives.

While we do our best to increase trust and confidence from our offices, we see an effort that needs to take place neighbor by neighbor, group by group.

It’s not too early for a New Year’s resolution. Be a joiner, join a local organization, learn how it works and get to know the people involved. And if you are already involved, look for another opportunity.

Survey says – stronger connections bring more trust.

Should it make a difference?

The Samaritan’s Purse, a non-denominational Christian organization, annually promotes and administers a wonderful program called “Operation Christmas Child.” It recruits groups to fill shoe boxes with toys, hygiene items, candy and school supplies and then the organization ships the boxes to children in countries around the world where there is such basic need. You may have recently learned about the group and their program as an atheist group threatened SkyView Academy, a Douglas County charter school, which was collecting boxes for the program. American Humanist Association threatened legal action if the school did not stop their efforts given the gospel message which is included. The school acquiesced, but parents and students of the charter school have continued the shoebox collections off campus to avoid a lawsuit.

MUTUAL JOY My wife Ann and I are quite familiar with “Operation Christmas Child” as we have participated for the past several years as our church is a collection point for the shoeboxes. We find it to be a wonderful program. The joy of giving these boxes to underprivileged children and in turn their joy in receiving the gifts is hard to describe. Since 1993, more than 100 Million boys and girls in over 130 countries have experienced God’s love through the power of a simple shoebox filled with little gifts.

WHERE IS THE BALANCE IN POLICY? Should a charter school or for that matter any school be prohibited from participating in such a caring and beneficial program on a voluntary basis? It is a humanitarian endeavor in the same vein as The Salvation Army providing food to indigent or homeless families.

Hey, I get it about the “church and state” thing, but isn’t that “throwing the baby out with the bath water?” Haven’t we gone too far ignoring the common good? Our society has created far too many rules, laws and policies which deter or prohibit

“good causes” by well-intended people.

Does the American Humanist Association provide humanitarian relief to people in need around the world or even here in the United States? No, I don’t think so.

HUMANISM — WHAT IS IT? Their website states “humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism and other supernatural beliefs, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.” I recognize and respect that there are people of different faiths who believe in a higher being and there are people who do not believe. While I respect a person or group to believe in what they desire, they should not take away from what others believe. The American Humanist Association purports to “lead ethical lives……” and “aspire to the greater good of humanity”, but yet would deprive indigent children in the Philippines, Kenya or Bolivia from receiving these shoeboxes. It just doesn’t add up in my simple mind.

PLEASING ALL PARTIES If we have to (which is ridiculous), the school or other public institution could set up several tables to promote, collect and send these shoeboxes to under privileged children or other similar projects with or without a religious message. We would have Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Humanists and 20 other tables of other persuasions. Then each group would be represented in a common cause.

Is that what it takes to be “in compliance”?

I hope not.

Big, bad issues with wolf status One controversy that continues to linger in the West and many regions across our nation is the status of the Gray wolf.

The reintroduction of this wildlife as a protected endangered species under the federal endangered species act protection is resulting in significant growth in numbers. Now after nearly four decades of protection the success or failure of the reintroduction and protection is due for review.

The US Fish & Wildlife Service is holding formal hearing on the delisting of the Gray wolf. Delisting at its simplest level would remove a wildlife species from federal protection under the endangered species act, but allow states the opportunity to manage a given wildlife species. The most recent hearing was held in Denver a few weeks ago. The service has studied all aspects of the wolf population. It is the same delisting process the service used in the ultimate removal the American Bald Eagle from the endangered species list.

That outcome was based on assurances

that a sound population of the eagle was achieved and that population would sustain itself over time.

There is one key element of the Gray wolf protection and delisting essentially unique to this wildlife species, that being the wolf has no natural predator other than man. That is not true of most other wildlife species and as a result, the balance of nature concept becomes an imbalance, where the wolf is becoming the uncontrolled predator impacting other wildlife numbers.

The service followed the same proto-

cols as with the American Bald Eagle and dozens of other protected game and bird species. Those protocols include determining the wolf’s reproduction rates over time, habitat changes, man’s impacts, changes in food supply, human population impacts and other issues that influence the wolf and wolf packs.

Interestingly, the eagle has natural predators other than man, unlike the wolf.

When this extreme predator imbalance exists the numbers of that species, this case the wolf, expands and grows in unmanageable proportions to other wildlife species. And the expanded population seriously impacts other wildlife species to the point those populations decline in numbers.

For example in Northern Idaho the Idaho Elk Preserve numbers have plummeted by 90 percent over a 10-year study period by the predation of the growing number of Gray wolf packs. Montana elk permits have been reduced due to loss of elk populations. Studies are underway to

determine what appears to be an abnormal loss of elk numbers in Yellowstone National Park following the introduction of wolves in the Park.

The loss of such significant numbers of elk is unacceptable in the scheme of the balance of nature. This argument does not even consider the killing of cattle, sheep and other domestic farm and ranch animals by growing numbers of wolf packs.

Most reasonable wildlife enthusiast supports a solid, healthy and sustaining numbers of ALL wildlife. We are losing many of our equally important and valued wildlife species in all states where the wolf exists. The answer is maintaining a healthy balance of nature by delisting the wolf and allowing states to manage the numbers of wolves just as the states manager the number of other wildlife and game animals.

A Christmas reminder for everyone Here is a different twist on the age-old “Twas the Night Before Christmas.” I’ve decided to have it reprinted again this year. It’s a gentle reminder that we still have many military service folks overseas and not able to be home with family.

Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone, in a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone.

I had come down the chimney with presents to give, and to see just who in This home did live.

I looked all about, A strange sight I did see, no tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.

No stocking by mantle, just boots filled with sand, on the wall hung pictures of far distant lands.

With medals and badges, awards of all kinds, a sober thought came through my mind.

For this house was different, it was dark and dreary.

I found the home of a soldier, once I could see clearly.

The soldier lay sleeping, silent, alone, curled up on the floor in this one bedroom home.

The face was so gentle, the room in such disorder, not how I pictured a United States soldier.

Was this the hero of whom I’d just read?

Curled up on a poncho, the floor for a bed?

I realized the families that I saw this night,

owed their lives to these soldiers who were willing to fight.

Soon round the world, the children would play, and grownups would celebrate a bright Christmas Day. They all enjoyed freedom each month of the year, because of the soldiers, like the one lying here.

I couldn’t help wonder how many lay alone, on a cold Christmas Eve in a land far from home.

The very thought brought a tear to my eye.

I dropped to my knees and started to cry.

The soldier awakened and I heard a rough voice.

Santa don’t cry, this life is my choice.

I fight for freedom, I don’t ask for more, my life is my God, my country, my corps.

The soldier rolled over and drifted to sleep, I couldn’t control it, I continued to weep.

I kept watch for hours, so silent and still, and we both shivered

LETTER TO THE EDITOR A matter of numbers

In the letter to the editor section of Nov. 28, Robin Ferruggia wrote, “Sen. Hudak won her seat because the majority of the voters agreed with her position on gun control and other issues.” But Ferruggia is mistaken. The majority of voters (52.9 percent) preferred someone other than Hudak.

Hudak won her 2012 senate District 19 race with less than a majority (46.9 percent) because Hudak’s opponents were split between the Republican (46.4 percent) and the Libertarian (6.5 percent) candidates.

Knowing full well that a majority of voters in her district disagreed with her extreme position on gun control and facing a near certain recall election early next year, Hudak announced her resignation on Nov. 27 rather than face the wrath of the voters.

Ferruggia goes on to write, “in countries that have (strict gun control and strict enforcement) crime rates have plummeted.” However, Great Britain has strict gun control and strict enforcement, and its crime rate is actually higher than the U.S. and climbing. It’s true that gun violence in Great Britain is much lower than the U.S.,

but it has always been much lower, even before Great Britain enacted strict gun control laws. Too, if one eliminates the crime statistics of a few U.S. cities with strict gun control laws (including Chicago, Detroit, New York City, and Washington D.C.), then US crime statistics for the rest of the nation compare favorably with our European counterparts.

If gun control is the magic bullet that causes the crime rate to plummet and gun violence to disappear, then Mexico ought to be one of the safest places on earth, because Mexico has some of the strictest gun control laws in the world, and their gun control laws are strictly enforced. Yet Mexico is riddled with gun violence and is actually one of the most dangerous countries in the word.

Trading individual liberty for safety doesn’t guarantee safety, but it does guarantee the loss of liberty. Only a fool or the uninformed would make that trade.

Chuck Wright Westminster

from the cold night’s chill.

I didn’t want to leave on that cold, dark night, this guardian of honor, so willing to fight.

Then the soldier rolled over, with a voice soft and pure, whispered, carry on Santa it’s Christmas Day, all is secure.

One look at my watch, and I knew he was right.

Merry Christmas my friend, and to all a good night.

This poem was written by a marine.

The following is his request and I think it is reasonable: Please, would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and

some credit is due to our U.S. service men and women for our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let’s try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us. Please, do your small part to plant this small seed.

God bless our service men and women.

Thank you.

Happy Holidays and stay safe and well.

Cookies are perfect holiday indulgence Metro Creative Connection

The holiday season is known for many things, not the least of which is all those special treats that find their way onto holiday tables each year. Though moderation should reign when indulging in delicious holiday treats, what would the season be without a few extra cookies and confections?

Baking is popular come the holiday season, and the following recipe for “Triple-Chocolate Cookies” from Michael Recchiuti and Fran Gage’s “Chocolate Obsession” (Stewart, Tabori & Chang) is sure to add some joy to an already festive time of year.

Triple-Chocolate Cookies Makes about 48 cookies 7 ounces unbleached all-purpose flour 11/2 ounces unsweetened natural cocoa powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 6 ounces unsalted butter with 82 percent butterfat, at room temperature 31/2 ounces granulated cane sugar 41/2 ounces dark brown cane sugar 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 Tahitian vanilla bean, split horizontally 1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel in fine grains 3 ounces 41 percent milk chocolate, roughly chopped 3 ounces 65 percent chocolate, roughly chopped

To make the dough: Sift the flour, cocoa and baking soda together in a bowl. Set aside.

Put the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until creamy. Add both sugars and the vanilla extract. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the bowl. Sprinkle the salt over the top. Beat on medium speed just until combined.

Reduce the speed to low. Add the dry ingredients in three additions, pulsing the mixer to incorporate each addition before adding the next one. Pulse just until a crumbly dough forms.

Add both chopped chocolates and mix on low speed just until incorporated.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead a few times to incorporate any crumbs.

Divide the dough in half. Roll each half into a log about 11/4 inches in diameter and 12 inches long. As you roll, gently push the ends toward the center occasionally to prevent air pockets from forming and to keep the logs at an even

thickness.

Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least three hours or up to three days.

To bake the cookies: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line the bottoms of two 12-by-18 inch sheet pans with parchment paper.

Remove the logs from the refrigerator and unwrap them. Using a ruler to guide you and a sharp knife, cut each log into rounds 1/2-inch thick.

If the dough crumbles as you cut it, reshape each slice. Place the rounds on the prepared pans, spacing them 11/2 inches apart.

Bake on the middle shelves of the oven, rotating the pans 180 degrees halfway through the baking time, until set but soft enough to hold a slight indentation when pressed with a fingertip, about 14 minutes. Let cool completely on the pans on wire racks.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Cities prepare for FasTracks stations Thornton, Northglenn see potential development for Eastlake

By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@ourcommunitynews.com FasTracks is coming to Northglenn and Thornton and staffs are working on how to best use the land surrounding the stations that will be in their cities.

Thornton has already designed a future historic park to celebrate the history of rail in Eastlake, located in the open space area just south of the Eastlake Grain Elevator that the city owns north of 124th Avenue and Claude Court. The town of Eastlake was settled as a railway village in 100 years ago and was incorporated into Thornton in 1990.

“Eastlake is the most historic site in the city,” Putman said. “It was there for transportation of grain and sugar beets from surrounding farms to transport.”

The city will also develop a trail system to connect the station to neighboring areas, he added.

The city of Northglenn is soliciting bids for a market analysis and site needs and relocation assessment of the existing Maintenance and Operations Facility, which is near the planned Eastlake Station.

The facility is on approximately 12 acres of land in the northeast corner of Northglenn at approximately York and 124th and has six structures of varying ages. The facility houses the city’s fleet service, parks maintenance, facility maintenance, streets maintenance, utility maintenance, solid waste, engineering and code enforcement.

City staff and council want the analysis to detail the opportunities, constraints and feasibility of relocating the facility to an alternative location(s) and transit oriented development (TOD) opportunities. The cost of the analysis could range $30,000 to $50,000.

Putman said there is a rather sizeable piece of property — about 30 acres — to the east of the planned station at 88th and there is some vacant land at 104th and 124th.

Putman said aside from development and new tax base for the city, the rail will provide an alternative to using Interstate 25.

“It’s going to improve transportation and travel for the city of Thornton,” he said.

FasTracks to be built to 124th by 2018 RTD approves contract for construction of rail in north Adams County

By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@ourcommunitynews.com Residents in north Adams County won’t have to wait until the formerly predicted 2030s timeframe to experience commuter rail.

The Regional Transportation District Board of Directors voted Nov. 26 to hire Graham, Balfour Beatty, Hamon Constructors to design and build the North Metro Rail Line to 124th Avenue.

“It’s what we’ve been fighting for for so long, and now maybe elected officials can get focused on other regional issues,” Thornton Mayor Heidi Williams said, adding that elected officials tied up a lot of their time over the years to fight the inequity issues with FasTracks not being in the north. “It’s not done until it’s all the way to Highway 7, but this is a great first step. I can’t wait to see construction get started.”

Construction will likely begin mid-2014 and the line should be ready for use in 2018

following testing, said RTD Project Manager Jim Starling The contract bid was for $343 million and will be paid by issuing Certificates of Participation (COPS), which the RTD board is expected to approve at its Dec. 17 meeting.

“COPs are a lease purchase mechanism where RTD will make regular lease payments to the certificate holders for the use of the rail line, and will receive title for line at the end of the term of the COPs,” Starling said.

The line is supposed to end at Highway 7/162nd Avenue but RTD has funding only planned for up to 124th at this time.

“RTD has a fixed price guaranteed for two years from the contractor to build to 162nd,” Larry Hoy, RTD District J board director said. “We will continue to look for available funding to complete the corridor.”

Funding is already in place for the first part of the North Metro Line, between Denver Union Station and the National Western Stock Show. The construction of that segment is expected to be completed by 2017.

In September, RTD vowed that secur-

ing funding for the North Metro Line up to 72nd Avenue was a top priority. This vow came on the heels of public criticism by area leaders after RTD board decided against placing a .4 percent sales tax increase on the November 2012 ballot, which would have helped fund the construction of the North Metro and Northwest lines.

They also criticized the board for approving and funding extensions before the entire FasTracks have been built out.

When the RTD board approved its amended regional transportation plan last year, the plan stated that service to 72nd would not happen until the 2030-35 timeframe with the funding currently available.

The future began looking brighter for the North Metro Rail Line in February when RTD received an unsolicited proposal to build the line, which led to RTD looking at other options and soliciting for bids.

“RTD was able to refinance its existing debt and the COP lease provides additional cash flow,” Hoy said. “In addition, sales and use tax forecasts have improved since the beginning of 2013. These factors combined to provide RTD with the financial capacity to issue COPs to extend the North Metro Rail Line to 124th Avenue.”

Pet food distribution serves area seniors

Dine Out event to raise money for hungry children

By Ashley Reimers

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com What started as a small pet food drive, has turned into a major, much needed program for senior citizens in Adams County. This month is the Senior Hub Volunteer Caregivers’ Companion Care Program’s fifth annual Season of Suppers Holiday Pet Food Distribution.

Senior Hub partners with Banfield Veterinary Clinics to provide this program that gives the community the opportunity to donate pet food to animals of seniors and the disabled in the north metro area.

“I’ve been doing program since 2008 and at that time it started with just 10 to 15 seniors,” Linda Rinelli, volunteer coordinator at the Senior Hub, a senior services agency said. “Since then it’s gotten bigger and bigger and now we have about 45 seniors that we serve.”

Rinelli said participation in the program is simple — just drop off high quality, un-opened dry pet food to area Banfield Clinics, which are in PetsMart stores, in the Denver and north metro area. The donations are then picked up by Senior

Hub volunteers and eventually delivered to seniors in need. The pets are also given toys and treats along with food.

“This program really helps out so many seniors who would actually choose to go without their own food to afford to feed their pet,” Rinelli said. “For many seniors, their pets are their family members and many of those seniors are alone, other than their pets.”

The Senior Hub also offers a program for individuals or families to adopt a senior and his or her pet. In this instance the senior is delivered a specialized gift box filled with the specific needs of the pet. Rinelli said she has plenty of volunteers for this program, so her focus is the pet food donations or monetary donations, which are used to purchased gift cards to buy emergency pet food.

“Seniors can be in need of pet food at any time of the year,” Rinelli said. “The cash donations we receive are so important to us because that ensures we can provide pet food in any situation.”

For more information or to see a complete list of participating Banfield Clinics, visit www.seniorhub.org or call Rinelli at 720-859-2248.

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com Supporting nonprofit organization Share Our Strength, Kachina Southwestern Grill in Westminster is hosting a Dine Out event to help families across Colorado learn the skills to cook healthy meals on a budget.

The event is 5-10 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 5, and 10 percent of the dining proceeds will be donated the Share Our Strength’s Colorado Cooking Matters Program, which is part of the organization’s No Kid Hungry campaign. The campaign works to ensure that every child has access to healthy food every day.

Kachina Southwestern Grill is part of the Sage Restaurant Group.

Stephanie Ehrler, vice president of marketing and brand integrity for Sage Restaurant Group, said the proceeds from the Dec. 5 Dine Out event will be donated to Share Our Strength during Colorado Gives Day on Dec. 10. She said local philanthropy is important to the restaurant group.

“Peter Karpinski, co-founder and COO of Sage Restaurant Group, encourages ev-

ery employee to engage in a social cause, and we believe in supporting one another within the SRG family to support the communities we serve,” she said. “Our associates are committed to donating their time, skills, knowledge and money to help make the world a better place.”

When it come to the No Kid Hungry campaign, Ehrler said the purpose of the fundraising is to support the Cooking Matters program, a ground breaking nutrition education program that helps families by teaching them how to prepare healthy, low cost meals. She said the goal is to help support Cooking Matters to make sure all kids have the healthy food they need every day.

“In Colorado, one in five children is at risk for hunger and malnutrition,” Ehrler said. “We hope people come and show their support for the Cooking Matters program and enjoy southwestern cuisine at Kachina’s and know that their contribution will impact children here in Colorado.”

Kachina Southwestern Grill is at 10600 Westminster Blvd. in Westminster. For more information on the Cooking Matters program, visit www.cookingmatterscolorado.org.

where the Two shows offer handmade work for shoppers

By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com The holidays are a great time for arts and craft connoisseurs to find all kinds of gifts for loved ones and themselves, and two annual sales at the Arvada Center are here to help shoppers find just what they need from local artists.

The 27th annual Fine Art Market show and sale and 6th annual Arvada Center Educational Studios (ACES) show and sale both kick-off on Dec. 12 and will be open to shoppers through Dec. 22.

Both shows are at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., with the Fine Art Market in the main gallery and the ACES show in the upper gallery.

Each show has a unique focus, with the Fine Art Market featuring affordable works in every medium, from jewelry to sculpture and paintings, and all the works are done by Colorado artists.

The market is the only fundraiser the gallery has all year, and is primarily invitational, with a few new artists added every year.

The market has become a family af-

IF YOU GO

WHAT: The 27th annual Fine Art Market show and sale and 6th annual Arvada Center Educational Studios (ACES) WHERE: Arvada Center 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada WHEN: Dec. 12-22 Fine Art Market and ACES - 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday Fine Art Market - 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday ACES - 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday COST: Free entrance INFORMATION: 720-898-7255 or www. arvadacenter.org fair for Louis Recchia, his wife Zoa Ace, who both have been participating in the market for more than 20 years. This year, they are welcoming their daughter Mary Recchia to the show.

“I’m very happy and flattered to be accepted into the show,” Mary said in an interview. “The Fine Art Market includes work by my parents and many other fantastic artists so I’m really excited to be a part of it.”

Both Louis and Zoe work with oil on canvas, watercolor, and collage.

Zoe’s imagery sometimes incorporates elements of pop culture and art history but, in general, she incorporates figures and animals into the work.

“Because we’ve been together for so long, Louis’ work and my work often overlap in regards to subject matter,” Zoe wrote in an interview. “We seem to have the same taste and sense of humor.”

Louis said that he has always tried to keep his work affordable because he gets the most joy from it when he knows his artwork is in so many people’s homes.

The ACES sales was created as an offshoot of its annual spring sale, and offers ceramic works from instructors and higher-level students from the center’s classes. About 50 participants have contributed work to this year’s sale and the artists began preparing works months in advance for the show.

“Some artists have been in the show for many years, and for some this will be a first time,” Bebe Alexander, the center’s ceramic coordinator said. “It’s a good learning experience and a chance to see how to set up a show.”

Steve Bober has been participating in the ACES show for about five years now, and focuses on Raku pottery — which is a Japanese form — and uses

is

a variety of techniques to get unique looks and cracks.

“I think pottery is the perfect metaphor and embodies all my philosophies,” he said. “Pottery is useful because it’s empty — that’s what gives it it’s purpose.”

Both Alexander and Bober said that Raku is a really dramatic and exciting process, because the outcome of the glaze can’t be fully controlled, so it is a mix of art and luck together.

The public is invited to attend the kick-off event for both shows, 5-9 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 12, and will give shoppers a chance to meet many of the artists and participate in a silent auction for items.

For those interested in shopping during the week and weekend, both shows are open 1-5 p.m. on Sunday, and the Fine Art Market is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday and 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The ACES show is open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Monday through Saturday.

The money raised from the Fine Art Market goes to the center’s galleries, and the money from the ACES show goes toward supporting the ACES program.

Season’s readings: Some great holiday books to share Book gift ideas for everyone on your list

By Teri Schlichenmeyer Doesn’t it seem like your gift list grows each year?

One new member of the family by birth, three more by marriage. Two “adopted” kids who call you Mom or Dad just because. Friends who have become dear.

A new Secret Santa program. It adds up, as it subtracts from your holiday budget.

But here’s a great suggestion: books!

Books are cost-effective. They’re like taking a trip without going anywhere. They give and give again, and they’re shareable. What more could you want to give?

So. Without further ado, here are some great books you can give to the people on your give list this holiday season.

First, the housekeeping: some of these books may be challenging to find. Release dates are approximate. Titles may be slightly different. Still, there you have it: gift ideas for everybody you love. And if you don’t see the perfect book on this list, throw yourself at the mercy of the friendly bookseller in your hometown. She knows books and making someone smile makes her smile, too.

Season’s readings!

FICTION Perfect for historians who love a good novel, “The House of Special Purpose” by John Boyne takes a fictionalized trip back to czarist Russia with an elderly man who must lay secrets to rest before he dies. Give this book as a gift – and borrow it back!

Does your giftee like the kind of novel that’ll keep her guessing? Then “The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards” by Kristopher Jansma will be exactly what you want to wrap up. At first, it seems like this is a book about rivalry between two writers, but there’s so much more to this story.

Suffice it to say that unwrapping this book isn’t going to be the only surprise your giftee gets – particularly when you pair that book with “This is How You Die,” an anthology with the premise that every character knows the end is near … they know how, but they don’t know how…

So how well do you know that new family member? In “The Darkling” by R. B. Chesterton, a family takes in a teenager who’s been orphaned and hire a tutor to get the girl up to speed. But there’s something about the girl that just doesn’t seem right – something that will scare the day-

lights out of your giftee. Wrap it up with “Seduction” by M.J. Rose, which is a literary-based novel of suspense and chills.

For the person who likes a little terror with their holiday, “The Demonologist”

by Andrew Pyper will give them that, abundantly. This is the story of a professor who accepts a dark offer that’s too good to be true.

Problem is, it’s not to good to be horrifying.

Wrap this one up with “Domino Falls” by Steven Barnes and Tananarive Due, for a perfectly frightful night-ful.

If your giftee loves a novel that sprang from real events, then wrap up “My Mother’s Secret” by J.L. Witterick, a fictionalized tale of two women who sheltered a Jewish family in their Sokal, Germany home during World War II. It’s a bit of a thriller, made even better because it’s based on a true story.

Fans of suspense won’t be able to resist opening the covers of “Storm Front” by John Sanford. In this thriller, an ancient stone has been stolen, which sparks an international manhunt that settles in Minnesota. Yes, it seems like a movie plot but for fans of this genre, this book is far from mere drama. Team it up with “Dead Insider” by Victoria Houston, for the most thrilling gift you can possibly give.

If a danger-filled novel is what that certain someone on your list would love, look for “The Return” by Michael Gruber, a book about a man who isn’t who he seems.

Yes, he looks like an easy-going guy, but revenge is really what’s on his mind … and he’s not going to stop until he finds it. Wrap it up with “Island of the White Rose” by R. Ira Harris, a historical novel of revolution (in Cuba) and intrigue, love and danger.

For the reader who loves a good murder novel, “Love Gone Mad” by Mark Rubinstein might be what you want to wrap.

When a famous heart surgeon and a nurse meet at work, it seems like romance is in the air. But no, it’s danger they sense, and a fight for their very lives. Wrap it up with “The Russian Endgame” by Allan Topol,

an international thriller with political undertones, and watch your giftee smile.

The person on your list who loves a good romance will enjoy “Love Rehab: A Novel in Twelve Steps” by Jo Piazza.

It’s a story filled with all those things you DON’T want to do when lookin’ for love.

And for something different, wrap it up with “Dying for Dinner Rolls” by Lois Lavrisa, the first in the Chubby Chicks Club mystery series. Food and murder… what more could you want?

GENERAL NON-FICTION If there’s a poker player on your gift list this year, then you’ve got to wrap up “Straight Flush” by Ben Mezrich. This is the story of a bunch of college buddies who start an online poker site and rake in the cash … but the U.S. Department of Justice wants them to fold. For sure, your giftee loving this book…? Yeah, it’s in the cards!

Why did you pick the gift you picked?

Was it just because you knew your friend well, or was there another reason? In “You Are Now Less Dumb” by David McRaney, your giftee will learn a little bit more about what makes you tick, why they didn’t lots of money as gifts, and why that’s a very good thing.

For the biography lover on your list, “More Scenes from the Rural Life” by Verlyn Klinkenborg might make an excellent gift.

This book takes a look at the beauty, the grace, the elegance, and the troubles of living on a farm. It’s a nice companion to the first volume by this author, published 10 years ago.

S u r e l y,

A home for the (furry) holidays ‘Tis the season for holiday-themed parties, shopping marathons and decadent goodies. Amongst all of the hustle and bustle, it can also be a time to reflect upon the year’s blessings, including family. These days, loved ones extend beyond just the two-legged kind. Pets are also considered family.

NORTH DENVER CARES FOOD PANTRY

WON $1,000 YOU COULD COULD TOO! TOO! YOU

“... provides temporary, emergency help to the unemployed, the underemployed, the elderly on fixed incomes and single parents by providing food for the hungry and needy people...”

At Foothills Animal Shelter, thousands of orphaned animals are cared for each and every year. These animals are safe and sound in a wonderful facility with devoted staff and volunteers watching over them. However, if they could talk, they would still have one wish this season — a home for the holidays.

If you happen to be searching for a companion, or know of someone who is, adoption could be the answer.

Dogs, puppies, cats, kittens and critters (such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and more) all find their way to Foothills Animal Shelter. The reasons that led these pets to the shelter’s door are countless. Sometimes the pet was lost and never claimed by an owner. Other times an owner may no longer be able to afford their pet’s care.

Since it is hard enough to pick out the perfect pet for your own household, Foothills Animal Shelter doesn’t encourage giving pets to others as gifts. The timing has to be right, and it has to be just the right fit. A great alternative is a Foothills Animal Shelter gift certificate that can be put toward a pet adoption.

The gift recipient can then talk with the shelter’s customer care team to help pick out the most appropriate

there’s someone on your gift list who fears growing older – or someone who’s embraced it wholeheartedly. For that person, wrap up “I’ll Seize the Day Tomorrow”

by Jonathan Goldstein, who recounts his last year before he turns the “dreaded 4-0.”

Give it to the thirty-something on your list, as well as to the something-something who only barely remembers his forties. Pair it up with “It’s Never Too Late” by Dallas Clayton, a “kid’s book for adults” that will make your giftee think about life, love, and where both are taking her.

The science fan on your list will love unwrapping “My Beloved Brontosaurus” by Brian Switek.

What do we know about dinos – and what do we only think we know? The author’s passion for the giant critters comes shining through here as he writes about new theories, old myths, and big truths. Yes, this is a book about dinosaurs, but it’s for big kids only.

Wrap it up with “Last Ape Standing” by Chip Walter, a book about our distant ancestors, who they were, and how we out-survived them; or “The Girl With No Name” by Marina Chapman, which is a true story about a girl who claims to have been raised by monkeys.

For the movie buff, “Sleepless in Hollywood” by Lynda Obst is a good bet for a great gift. In this book, your giftee will read about the movie industry, how it’s changed over the last ten years or so, and why it costs so much money to make fewer movies. Wrap it up with a pair of tickets and “The Horror Show Guide: The Ultimate Frightfest of Movies” by Mike Mayo.

If it’s a scary movie, it’s likely to be listed in this book, making it a reference guide that movie buffs simply should NOT be without.

If your giftee loves old reruns and can’t get enough of the girl who “turns the world on with her smile,” then you need to wrap up “Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted” Books continues on Page 13

HOLIDAY PET SAFETY TIPS Keep your pets safe for Thanksgiving and the entire holiday season Foothills Animal Shelter, a true resource for the pet community, hopes pet owners keep their cats and dogs safe during the upcoming holiday season.

Below are some helpful pet tips.

Holiday meal goodies: • Rich and fatty foods (such as turkey skins, gravy, etc.) can cause serious abdominal issues for pets. Temping as it may be, keep them out of reach from your cats and dogs.

• Cooked bones can splinter and cause tears or obstructions in your pet’s digestive tract.

• Chocolate can cause seizures and even be fatal for pets.

animal at a time that’s right for them.

Consider making a wish come true for an orphaned pet by providing a forever home. The unconditional love and companionship they offer can be priceless. To see all of the homeless animals available for adoption during this holiday season, visit www.FoothillsAnimalShelter.org.

Better yet, stop by the facility in person at 580 McIntyre in Golden near 6th Avenue and Indiana on the Jefferson County Fairgrounds.

Books Continued from Page 12

by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong. This is a book about the people who created and brought you The Mary Tyler Moore Show and made it a beloved favorite on oldies channels and TV-ondemand.

Wrap it up with “The Joker” by Andrew Hudgins, which is part bio g r a p h y, part look at jokes and things that make us laugh.

T h e trivia buff on your list will love “Life Skills: How to Do A l m o s t Anything” by the folks at the Chicago Tribune. He’ll learn how to trim hair and unclog a sink, how to pack for a long road trip, how to bowl, and scads of other useful talents. Wrap that book up with “How to Win at Everything” by Daniel Kibble-

smith and Sam Weiner, which will further those valuable skills; and “Stats & Curiosities” from the Harvard Business Review folks, for even more knowledge.

Sometimes, it’s just fun to read about normal, everyday people and if there’s someone on your list who might enjoy that kind of change of pace, then wrap up “American Story” by Bob Dotson. In this book, Dotson takes a look at your neighbors, your friends, your distant relatives and comes up with some sweetly amazing stories. For another kind of American story, give “Humboldt: Life on America’s Marijuana Frontier” by Emily Brady, a book about a Northern California community and legalization of their main product. For the right person, it’ll be the perfect gift.

For that person on your list with the unique sense of humor, “That’s Not Funny, That’s Sick” by Ellin Stein may make your gift-giving easier. This book takes a look at The National Lampoon magazine and its founders, writers, humor, and more. Think: John Belushi. Think: Second City Comedy. Think: perfect gift. And you can’t go wrong if you wrap it up with “Inside MAD” by the “Usual Gang of Idiots” at MAD magazine. This is a look at many beloved, classic spreads from the magazine, and it features essays from seventeen celebs who loved the mag as much as you did.

The giftee who loves to study ancient history, particularly that of Egypt, will love reading “The Shadow King” by Jo Marchant. It’s a book about King Tut’s mummy: where it’s been, what we’ve learned about it, and why we’re still so fascinated with it.

Students of culture and politics will smile when they unwrap “Clash! 8 Cultural Conflicts That Make Us Who We Are” by Hazel Rose Markus, PhD and Alana Conner, PhD. This book looks at eight common them-vs.-us themes: east vs. west, men vs. women, and more, and how it affects us an individuals and the world at large.

For the person who has it all, how

about a very unusual book? “Roy G. Biv”

by Jude Stewart is a book about color” myths about it, history of reds and oranges, purples and blues, what the colors mean in culture, and what they do to us.

Be sure to wrap it up with “The Handy Art History Answer Book” by Madelynn Dickerson for a truly colorful gift.

It seems like everybody’s got somebody on their list who’s single, doesn’t it? And the person on your list will love reading “Modern Dating: A Field Guide”

by Chiara Atik. This humorous book isn’t just funny – it also offers real advice and tips on loving one’s singlehood, dating etiquette, make-up-or-break-up tips, and more. It might not put a ring on someone’s finger, but it’ll make them smile.

Be sure to wrap it up with “Data, A Love Story” by Amy Webb, which is the story of Webb’s experiences with finding love by online dating.

Is your giftee happy as a clam this time of year? He’s cool as a cucumber opening gifts but excited as a pig in tall corn underneath? Then wrap up “Similes Dictionary” by Elyse Sommer and you know you’ll get a smile as big as the world. Wrap up “Hard Times Require Furious Dancing” by Alice Walker, a book of verse to inspire, sooth, and provoke thoughts; or “A Slap in the Face” by William B. Irvine, which is a book about insults, subtle and not-so-subtle, where they come from and why they’re so darn barbed.

The newlywed, newly single, or new college student on your list will love “Don’t Screw It Up!” by Laura Lee. This is a book offers household tips that will make life run more smoothly, whether it’s with finances, home maintenance, cooking, or another of life’s sticky situations.

And then – just because screw-ups are unavoidable, show your giftee that it’s okay by pairing that book with “Always Look on the Bright Side: Celebrating Each Day to the Fullest” by Allen Klein. The title says it all…

For the person who loves historical photographs, look for “The Big Picture”

enver D l a u n n

Christkindl

by Josh Sapau. This book is filled with panoramic photographs from the days when film only came in black-and-white and people dressed up to look good for posterity on Picture Day. Even the size and shape of this book says “fun!” Make it an awesome gift by adding “The Heart of Everything That Is: The Untold Story of Red Cloud, An American Legend” by Bob Drury and Tom Clavin.

For the wanderer on your gift list, wrap up “The Turk Who Loved Apples” by Matt Gross. This is a book of unexpected travels and surprising journeys around the world in unusual places. Wrap it up with “Hidden Cities” by Moses Gates, in which the author travels to unusual sites within larger metropolises.

For the giftee who claims to have had the oddest childhood, you can challenge that assertion by giving “Free Spirit: Growing Up on the Road and Off the Grid” by Joshua Safran. It’s the story of the author’s childhood on the open road with his mother, who seemed to be forever searching… And if your giftee really cherishes his individualism, wrap it up with “The Last Wilderness: Alaska’s Rugged Coast” by Michael McBride, the story of a married couple, the business they built, and their life in America’s northern most state.

I’m pretty sure the environmentalist on your list is going to cheer when she unwraps “Invisible Nature: Healing the Destructive Divide between People and the Environment” by Kenneth Worthy.

This is a heavy-duty book and not for the casual reader, but anyone who lives the Green life will think it’s the best gift ever.

Pair it up with “Future Primal” by Louis G. Herman. It’s a book on our past, our future, and how understanding one can affect the other.

Editor’s Note: Part two of this book list, including health, business, travel and religion book recommendations will be published in a future edition of the paper.

Family bond important to Norjans Northglenn/Thornton swim team has depth

By Kate Ferraro

kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com The Northglenn/Thornton girls swim team took one of their relay teams to the state meet two years ago.

And now, their ultimate goal this season is to go back to try for a state title.

After going 6-1 in league and placing second in the Eastern Metro Athletic Conference league meet, nobody made it to state. But this year, the Norjans are hopeful in their 200 yard medley relay, 50 yard freestyle and 100 yard breast stroke.

“Our medley relay has a really good chance and we have some really good girls,” senior Katie Morey said. “We went to state two years ago. We hit that peak and now we need to go beat it again.”

The Norjans are still trying to figure out their fourth person to swim in the medley. The three swimmers they already have are senior Rachel Vigil and sophomores Talia Passarelli and Hannah Goldstein.

Vigil said every event has a chance to make it to state since their team has so many swimmers in every event.

The Norjans’ team has grown a great amount since Vigil was an underclassman. Last year the team had 17 girls, while this year there’s 23 swimmers on the team.

“When I was a freshman, I had already been swimming,” Vigil said.

“Coming in, all my friends hadn’t swam, but now they’ve been swimming all four years, so there’s a ton of improvement there.”

The Norjans’ captains, Morey, Vigil and senior Shayna Goldstein really want to make sure emphasize that the team has a close bond and want to

Norjans senior Rachel Vigil backstrokes her way through the water, Nov. 25 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton. make sure all the girls are included.

Goldstein said she understands how scary it can be for the freshman coming in for the first time. She said her first year was intimidating because not everyone was very welcoming.

“We’ve always been like a family,” Goldstein said. “I want everyone to know I’m here for everyone. Just being there and cheering on the team. Hopefully we have a successful year.”

Morey agrees with Goldstein.

“We’re a lot more of a family,” Morey said. “I remember freshman year I felt like I wasn’t part of the team.”

Morey said she thinks one of her strongest events this year will be the 200-yard freestyle. Head coach Amanda Jackson said Morey can swim any event and is willing to step in for anyone whenever it’s possible.

“We had an event last year in league where she swam for someone else and took it on,” Jackson said. “She is one of the most positive and goofy girls I’ve ever met. She has a great attitude for our team.”

The Norjans are also welcoming back seniors Angie Alvarez and Darian Guenther. Junior Jackie Ochoa and

sophomores Madison Allen and Allie Sears are also returning.

The Norjans have numerous goals this season which they strongly believe they can achieve. But the senior captains just want the team to have fun and it’s OK if they don’t win every single event. Morey said she wants to be certain that nobody gets excluded.

“I just want to make sure everyone is having a good time,” Morey said.

“Like I said, my freshman year I felt a little out of it. I want to make sure everyone is a big family and just have a team bond.”

Past state experience to guide young team Seven state qualifiers for Mustangs

By Kate Ferraro

kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com Mountain Range senior Jorge Rodriguez won the heavyweight wrestling championship two years ago in 2012. He could possibly make history as a Mustang if he wins state again.

Rodriguez has been on the varsity team since his freshman year. Head coach Todd Sandman said Rodriguez has an extraordinary amount of natural talent for being a heavy weight.

“He has a great opportunity to win a second state title,” Sandman said.

“We’ve had numerous state champions at Mountain Range High School, but we’ve never had a two-time state champion yet. He could be our first.”

Rodriguez placed fifth at state his junior year. Sandman said Rodriguez is very athletic and if he’s focused this year, he should be in the state final match once again.

“I think he’s going to be a little more motivated,” Sandman said. “I think he’s learned from his mistake being maybe complacent there. Hopefully, he’s back at the top of that podium.”

Mountain Range only has a few seniors including Rodriguez, Ronnie Kahler and Kody Kleman. The upperclassmen will be dominated by the freshmen and sophomores, but Sandman said the Mustangs have a good amount of experience.

The team contains seven wrestlers who have participated at the state tournament, five that competed last year and two in 2012. Only a couple of those wrestlers are seniors.

Sandman said a lot of times kids will go to state and maybe don’t perform as well as they should, because of nerves. He said usually the second appearance is a better time getting on the awards podium.

“A lot of times, kids will go to the

Mountain Range senior Jorge Rodriguez. Photo by Kate Ferraro state tournament for the first time and they get the big eyes under the bright lights,” Sandman said. “Once they get that state tournament under their belts, the second time is good results.”

Juniors Trent Thomas, Timmy Romero and Patrick Romero are returning this year, as well as sophomore Zack Martinez.

Freshman Louie Romero is new to the team this year and possesses a great amount of talent. Sandman said he’s starting out at the 113 weight class, but will probably drop to 106.

Sandman said after watching Louie Romero wrestle at a competition last

summer in Nebraska, he knew he wanted him on the team.

“He went undefeated out there,” Sandman said. “He won his all-star dual out there. A kid, who, we predict, should be a top placer this year at the Pepsi Center in February.”

Even though Mountain Range has a young team this year, Sandman said he believes the postseason knowledge will take the team far. And maybe they make history along the way.

“We have some pretty talented and good kids coming back,” Sandman said. “They have state tournament experience under their belts, which is very important.

Bat-Aid Softball Tournament surpasses goal

The Bat-Aid softball tournament raised $2,084 for the high school softball victims who were affected by the Colorado floods.

Longmont, Lyons and Niwot High School’s softball programs lost equipment and were left with damaged fields in mid-September after the state was hit with three days of rain.

The Rocky Mountain Girls Fastpitch Association organized a Bat-Aid softball tournament Nov. 2 at the Youth Memorial Sports Complex in Arvada. The money was given to the Lyons High School softball program.

“It went great,” said Robert Vasquez, president of the RMGFA. “The girls had a lot of fun and understood what the cause was for.”

Vasquez presented a check to Lyons High School Principal Greg Winger Nov. 12 at the Lyons High School temporary building in Longmont. The money will be used for new equipment and repairs.

The RMGFA is a nonprofit organization that helps 18 and under females grow in the sport of softball. It’s made up of eight teams and has more than 100 players from the Westminster, Arvada and Broomfield area.

For the tournament, the RMGFA had six teams partake which included Colorado Stars 98, Colorado Stars Swagg, Colorado Venom, Colorado Ice, DC Jets and Colorado Swat.

Despite wishing there could have been more teams participate from his organization, Vasquez said the tournament went even better than he was expecting, especially since the tournament raised almost $600 more than anticipated.

A woman from Littleton donated a softball bag for the fundraiser and they also did a home run derby. Vasquez said he would like to do a tournament again in the future.

“It was a good experience,” Vasquez said. “Hopefully, we’ll do it next year for a different cause.”

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Decisions involving your finances might seem to be foolproof. But they could have underlying risks you should know about. Don’t act on anything until all the facts are in.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) You’re attracted to a situation that appeals to your Bovine intellect. And that’s good. But don’t neglect your passionate side when romance comes calling later in the week.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A recent development enhances that special relationship. Spending more time together also helps make the bonding process stronger. Expect news about a possible career change.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A suspicious situation should be dealt with before it leads to serious problems. Get all the facts needed to resolve it. Then refocus your energies on those tasks that need your attention.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Try to be more open-minded in working toward a resolution of that standoff between yourself and a colleague or family member. A little flexibility now could work to your advantage later.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) You might feel a bit threatened by a proposed workplace change. The best way to deal with it is to ask questions. You’ll find that those involved will be happy to provide you with the facts.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Feeling alone in a crowd during the early part of the week is an unsettling emotion. But your spirits soon perk up, putting you into the right mood to start making holiday plans.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A pesky problem should be dealt with immediately so you can put your time and effort into something more important.

Someone from your past could have significant news for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) High-energy aspects dominate, both on the job and at home. Use this time to put some long-range plans into operation.

Things level off later in the week.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Even the usually gregarious Goat might feel overwhelmed by a flurry of activities. Be patient. Things soon return to your normal social routine.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Career choices that seem too confusing to deal with at this point probably are. More information would help uncomplicate them.

On the personal side, a friend might need your advice.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Your Piscean imagination is stimulated by possibilities you see in a new opportunity. But keep those ideas to yourself until you feel ready to translate them into a workable format.
