Top five stories of the year

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A missing woman turns up dead. The city welcomes a new mayor. And, oh those 38th Avenue road diet blues.

These are just a few of the biggest stories that came out of Wheat Ridge in 2013:

‘Annie’ Meyer murdered; killer convicted LeAnne “Annie” Meyer of Wheat Ridge had been missing since February before her remains were found on a private property in Park County on July 4.

For months, law enforcement suspected that her former lover, Melissa Miller, had somehow been involved. They were right.

In November, Miller pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Court documents showed that they two argued about yard work during a trip through Park County, before Miller took a walking stick and struck her former partner in the head and leaving her for dead.

Meyer, 51, was a Minnesota native who once served in the Air Force before becoming a bank technology expert in Colorado.

Changes to the council Joyce Jay, a Wheat Ridge councilwoman and former photography business owner, was elected mayor in November.

Jay defeated fellow council member Mike Stites in an open seat contest to replace term-limited Mayor Jerry DiTullio.

But DiTullio will continue to work at City Hall next year. That’s because he defeated incumbent District I Councilman Davis Reinhart and two other opponents in

a hotly contested race.

Reinhart wasn’t the only council member to lose in the fall. Joseph DeMott lost his council seat to Genevieve Wooden.

Tim Fitzgerald and Zach Urban also became new members of the council, after winning open seat races.

The 38th Avenue debate rages on

The issue that could very well have decided the November municipal election was that of the road diet project along the heart of 38th Avenue.

The 2012 road diet reduced lanes of travel to one, each direction, as part of the city’s 38th Avenue Corridor Plan, which is meant to revitalize the areas of 38th Avenue between Wadsworth and Sheridan Boulevards into a vibrant main street.

The road diet has plenty of supporters who believe that it’s done wonders for business in the area. But other say the opposite is true, also arguing that the lane reduction project has led to traffic problems.

The road diet proved to be a source of contention among members of the council last year and the polarizing issue was one that council and mayoral candidates often tackled throughout the campaign.

Sales tax veto

It was supposed to pump about $6 million in revenue to a city that needs it. But voters were not given an opportunity to weigh in.

An ordinance that sought a one percent sales and use tax increase was vetoed by then-Mayor Jerry DiTullio last year.

The council approved sending the measure to the voters. But DiTullio said no, arguing in part that the tax hike would cause Wheat

Ridge to have one of the highest sales tax rates among neighboring communities.

Wheat Ridge is struggling to keep up with capital improvement projects and the money was supposed to go toward fixing that problem. The council could take up the issue again in the new year.

Investigation clears officials of wronging

An investigation cleared the city manager and a city council member of any wrongdoing stemming from a complaint dealing with the viewing and dissemination of sales tax receipts of businesses in town.

The investigation looked into Councilman Davis Reinhart’s and City Manager Patrick Goff’s roles in the request and disclosure of sales tax information of businesses along the 38th Avenue Corridor.

The investigation was spurred by a complaint by Councilman Joseph DeMott.

But a 25-page report – authored by an outside attorney – cleared Reinhart and Goff of any wrongdoing.

However, changes to city code pertaining to how sales tax receipts are disclosed in the future are expected to come, as a result of the investigation.

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

School board tide turns

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

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

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

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

Dewild convictions

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

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

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

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

Yak N Yeti opens International Market Arvada staple opens grocer as third location in brand

By Crystal Anderson

canderson@ourcoloradonews.com The Yak N Yeti International Market, 6835 Wadsworth Blvd., previously the Sultan Middle Eastern Market, has gone through a transformation.

“I came in one day and all expired food, that’s not good,” Bhattarai said. “I wanted to give people good quality and put in fresh items.”

Once a small, dark, struggling business along Wadsworth Boulevard, is now a cleaned-up, bright, open, steady business and extension of the Yak N Yeti brand.

“He has had the restaurant for a while and was looking for another business opportunity,” Yak N Yeti Brewmaster Adam Draeger said. “He knows Indian food, so it seemed like a logical business jump.”

Opened in the latter part of October, the international market offers a myriad of ingredients, Middle Eastern clothing, Nep-

between the county and Colorado Investment and Development Company.

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

Commissioner Tighe who is leading the relocation initiative decided to abandon the deal. In September, Tighe announced he would be holding an educational tour to municipalities in the county to present

alese gifts, pipes and more. Since opening, the market, the only Indian grocer in Arvada, has seen a steady increase, nearly double, in both the amount of customers and variety of items they’re offering.

“The market is different because it’s a Middle Eastern and Nepalese items, we keep it what people want and need,” Bhattarai said. “I want to know what people like, so I make lists, and bring it in — we keep changing.”

The Yak N Yeti brand has become a staple throughout Arvada. With an Indian restaurant at 8665 Sheridan Blvd., a restaurant and brewpub at 7803 Ralston Road, now with the International Market on Wadsworth, Bhattarai has added a third location as an extension of the Yak N Yeti brand — something he hopes to broaden and continue.

“I bought it because he, (the previous owner), wasn’t taking care of it,” Bhattarai said, “We might expand into a bigger Indian supermarket. I want to make it a success, and when you work hard, it becomes that.”

information on community corrections, its functions and why the county is interested in relocating the proposed correctional facility.

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

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

in Coal Creek Canyon faced similar situations seen in Boulder County with residents leaving their homes via rescue efforts with washed out drive ways, exposed culverts and gas lines, and not running water or electricity.

To date, Jeffco has not released numbers regarding county damage, but in September damage was assessed at $6 million. Highway 72 was left in pieces with a culvert break that caused severe flooding making large portions of the highway impassable.

Two months later, Highway 72 re-opened with complete repairs before the winter season. Jeffco Open Space suffered $605,000 in damage with most of Jeffco’s parks open with the exception of a few trails at North Table Mountain and West Wild Iris Loop at Alderfer Three Sisters Park.; Apex Park still

closed.

A total of 12 parks were hit with flood water damaging trails with sink holes, rock and boulder debris and erosion.

Curling center glides into Lakewood The Denver Curling Center officially broke ground on Oct. 29 at the site’s location at 14100 W. Seventh Ave., near the Colorado Mills shopping area.

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

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

County to address retail marijuana New year brings list of challenges

By Amy Woodward

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

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

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

Commissioner Faye Griffin, District One

By Amy Woodward

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

She previously held the position from 1998 to 2006.

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

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

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

Commissioner Casey Tighe, District Two

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@ coloradocommunitymedia.com As board member of the Community Corrections Board and Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee, Commissioner Casey Tighe spent the last year working toward the initiative to relocate the ICCS

development and transportation director.

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

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

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

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

ed for 2015.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Commissioner Don Rosier, District Three

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

The initiative presented

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

community corrections building located at the New York Building on 1651 Kendall St., in Lakewood.

ICCS which stands for Intervention Community Corrections Services is a privately-owned facility that offers an alternative to Tighe prison in which offenders are placed in the “community” as they learn to transition from criminal life to becoming a responsible resident. Halfway through the

year, Tighe was met with angry protest from Jeffco residents who felt blindsided by a deal made with Colorado Investment and Development Company who would buy property near West Colfax and Wide Acres Road for the new ICCS location in exchange for the New York Building.

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

ary in Edgewater.

“We had advocates we didn’t anticipate on councils when we went around to talk about community corrections,” Tighe said.

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

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

What you need to know about flu prevention How to stay healthy during this winter season

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

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

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

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

Contracted through exposure, common flu symptoms such as, coughing, fever, runny nose, sore throat, muscle aches and feeling lethargic, can take up to four days to emerge and last through 14 days.

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

If infected, Kaplan recommends staying home from school or work, intake plenty of fluids, and get rest. According to Kaplan, the best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated, whether through the shot or the nasal spray and to frequently wash hands.

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

Curl up with this book “The Quiet Season: Remembering Country Winters” by Jerry Apps 2013, Wisconsin Historical Society Press $22.95 / higher in Canada 150 pages It snowed overnight.

You saw it first thing this morning, and you grumbled. You know how much extra work that stuff is: shoveling, brushing, scraping. Everything needs more time to warm up and get going — including you.

Sure, snow is pretty … for about 10 minutes. Or, as you’ll see in “The Quiet Season”

by Jerry Apps, it’s beautiful for a lifetime.

Born to a pair of farmers in the “midst of the Great Depression,” Jerry Apps says that, save but for his time spent in the Army, he’s never missed a Wisconsin winter. For folks in snowy climes, winter reminds us that “we are not in charge,” he says.

The winters of 1939-1947 were particularly memorable for Apps. Electricity hadn’t yet come to his parents’ farm — it didn’t arrive until the spring of ’47 – which meant that milking cows and fetching water was all done by hand. Dinner was made on a wood-burning stove that served both to prepare food and to heat the kitchen.

Homework for the three Apps boys was done by kerosene lamp.

Apps remembers how his father prepared for winter by “making wood” from dead oak trees and hauling it closer to the house. The family butchered a hog every fall because they “needed the meat if we were going to survive the long winter.” Produce from garden and field was laid in for the season.

Even when there was a snowstorm, the three Apps boys had to walk to school and they tried not to miss a day. The season’s first snow was especially exciting; says Apps, he and his classmates were “running around like we were possessed by first snowfall demons.” As white stuff piled up,

his teacher in the one-room schoolhouse tapped one of the bigger children to shovel a path to the outhouses.

Apps recalls playing in the snow, and wading through waist-high drifts. He remembers hunting in it, travelling by car and on foot through it, and hoping that Santa could handle it. He recalls when neighbors took care of neighbors and dances were held in someone’s dining room. And he remembers the perfection of winter some 70 years ago, its loveliness and its magic.

I’m not sure where it came from, but reading “The Quiet Season” gave me a definite sense of pulse-slowing calmness.

Maybe that’s because author Jerry Apps — who often mentions his love of a good story — is himself the teller of tales that circle around community in a TV-less, packed-calendar-free, horse-drawn but hard-working world that fewer and fewer folks remember. They’re told with awe, gratitude, grace, more than a little kneeslapping — and lots of love for the way things were, the rotation of the seasons, the bounty of the land, and the perseverance of its people.

This is the kind of book that elders will read and read again. It’s a book you’ll want to give to a whiner. It’s one you’ll be glad to curl up with because, though it’s mostly about winter, “The Quiet Season” will leave you warm.

Young children are full of measurement questions. How long is it? How big is it?

How far away is it? The answer is hard to explain without knowing measurement units. Understanding that measurement requires repeated use of a tool like a ruler is important for success in math and science.

Adults and children can measure distances between objects found at home using a non-standard measurement tool, your feet. This is called non-standard because everyone’s feet are different.

For more math ideas see grandparentsteachtoo.org or listen to wnmufm live 4:30 Tuesdays and 8:35 a.m. Saturdays.

What To Do Trace an outline of an adult’s foot on paper and cut it out. Explain how to use this tool to measure distance in your home. Define distance as the amount of space between two objects. Have the children choose an object in the room. Show them how to use the foot cutout to measure the distance from where you stand (your home base) to the object’s location.

Children can help by moving the cutout and keeping count. Record the results on a sheet of paper. Draw a picture of the destination piece and write the number of adult feet to get there.

Next, trace children’s feet, cut them out, and label them with their names. Compare the children’s little feet and adult’s big feet.

Have children measure the distance to the same object using their little feet as the measurement tool. Record those numbers on the paper using a different color crayon. Repeat using three more objects.

Ask questions such as: What did you notice when you measured the distance between our home base and the objects?

Which object needed the most feet or the least? The farther away the object is, the more feet are needed.

How did the total number of children’s feet compare with the adult’s feet as a measurement tool? The shorter the foot, the more feet are needed to measure the distance.

Dental xyz

By Kristin Jones

I-News at Rock Mountain PBS Almost half a million Coloradans are expected to gain dental benefits under Medicaid by 2016. That doesn’t mean they’ll be able to see a dentist.

Two state policy changes rolling this year are intended to improve access to oral health care for low-income Coloradans.

The state Legislature voted to expand Medicaid’s dental benefits to adults — it now only covers children for most kinds of care.

The change will go into effect around the same time as Colorado expands Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act to those who make slightly more than the federal poverty level.

The pair of changes is expected to grow the ranks of Medicaid enrollees with dental benefits to 844,491 in 2016, from 348,142 last year, according to a study released in December by the Colorado Health Institute.

But 17 counties in Colorado don’t have a dentist who accepts Medicaid, the study reported.

Some rural areas simply don’t have dentists at all — you won’t find one in sparsely populated Kiowa County in the eastern plains, or in southern Colorado’s Mineral County, the institute found. In more populous Delta and Elbert counties, there are dentists — but none that take Medicaid.

Chaffee County ranks among the areas with a low percentage of dentists accepting Medicaid. Cara Russell heads the county’s program to improve oral health, which

works to educate people on the importance of good oral hygiene.

Preventive dental care can keep people from showing up in pain at emergency rooms and in need of expensive surgery.

Poor oral health is also associated with chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease, according to recent studies cited by the Centers for Disease Control.

But inspiring someone to go to the dentist doesn’t get them there, says Russell.

For those living in her area of the state, the nearest dentist accepting Medicaid is often a drive of 65 miles to 110 miles. At the same time, much of the working population will remain uninsured even as Medicaid expands.

“We are on the verge of much better care for our underserved population,” says Russell. “But we’re not there yet, and the transition is going to be painful.”

In the southeastern Colorado town of Walsh, Carol Morrow is the only dentist in Baca County, population 4,500. She accepts Medicaid, making her office an oasis in a dental desert. Some patients drive hours to get to her.

“I think every person deserves the same kind of care, whether they can afford it or not,” says Morrow.

The expansion of Medicaid benefits to adults will allow her to get some compensation for care she now provides for free, she says.

Morrow is participating in a new push by the Colorado Dental Association to encourage more dentists to accept Medicaid as the policy changes unfold.

The professional group is fighting a perception among some dentists that the paperwork is too cumbersome and reimbursement rates too low, and an unfounded fear that Medicaid patients will fail to show up for appointments, says Jennifer Goodrum, who directs the organization’s government relations.

Jeff Hurst, who runs a practice in Lakewood, is one of the Colorado dentists who doesn’t take Medicaid. The 40-page application form to become a Medicaid doctor is one barrier. Payment is another reason Hurst stopped seeing Medicaid enrollees.

The state is slow to process claims, and the reimbursement doesn’t even cover his office’s overhead costs, he said.

However, Hurst is heartened by recent moves by state officials to make it easier to navigate the application and payment process and hike reimbursement rates.

“Removing these barriers will allow us to treat these patients the same way we treat others,” says Hurst. “These adults —

some of which have never had care — can get introduced to the world of dentistry.”

Still, improving access to dental care is likely to take creative thinking in places as far-flung as Delta County on the western range, Conejos County to the south, and a huge swath of the eastern plains where Medicaid enrollees far outnumber dentists willing or able to provide services.

Expanding the role of dental hygienists may be one solution, while boosting the capacity of dentists that already see lowincome patients may be another route.

“Communities are gearing up and getting ready,” says Sara Schmitt, one of the authors of the Colorado Health Institute study.

It’s too soon to know if they’ll succeed.

Books to devour An extreme long distance call during this winter

By Teri Schlichenmeyer

“Three Squares: The Invention of the American Meal” by Abigail Carroll 2013, Basic Books $27.99 / $31.00 Canada 304 pages\ You can just about taste it now.

Imagine: right out of the oven, the traditional dish Grandma used to make and now your sister does. Biscuits from a recipe your mom found in a magazine before you were born. New favorites brought to the family by new in-laws and old friends.

You feast because it’s a holiday, but what about the other days? Find out why your mealtime looks the way it does in “Three Squares: The Invention of the American Meal” by Abigail Carroll.

When the settlers first came to America some 400 years ago, they were reportedly aghast at Native American eating habits.

Not only did tribal peoples ignore the idea of regular mealtimes, they also fasted – sometimes for “extended periods.”

That was unheard-of for the settlers, but it isn’t like they had the corner on mealtime rule-keeping. For them, eating was “generally informal, variable, and socially unimportant.” Tables and chairs were rare and, because knives were the only silverware used – if, indeed, silverware was used at all – mealtime was rather messy.

“For most, food was fuel,” says Carroll, “and eating was less about enjoying the pleasures of the palate … than replenishing work-weary bodies …”

Early eighteenth-century colonists, of course, were mostly British and “proud of it.” As the hardships of life eased, therefore, they reached for their English roots in the kitchen. Meat comprised most meals and was, in fact, often the only dish; aside from potatoes, vegetable consumption was uncommon.

By the late 1800s, industry had grown and the “shape of work” shifted. This led to the (larger) midday meal being pushed to a later time of day, to accommodate workers who toiled away from home. Dinner became a family event and “an indicator of one’s class status.” Dining rooms were ushered into homes in the Victorian era, and mealtime became reason for strict etiquette, elaborate place settings, and sumptuous foods, including the new mandatory

course, dessert. Lunch was “invented” as a bridge between early breakfast and the later meal.

And breakfast? In the mid-1800s, it was still a meat-laden belly-filler that, it was believed, would aid digestion. Some thought, though, that all that food was not healthy, so an itinerant preacher and a health-conscious doctor “cerealized things …

Now you’re feeling hungry, aren’t you?

And curious, too, which means you must take a bite out of “Three Squares.”

In her introduction, author Abigail Carroll says that her initial intention with this book was to look at our habit of snacking, but she quickly realized that she couldn’t do that without looking at meals in general.

The two, as you might imagine, are tied together but they haven’t been (and might not be) for long. The reasoning – and the way meals have morphed – makes this a fascinating and lively look at all the things we put on a plate.

I ate it up, and I think the pop-culture lover, the cookbook fanatic, and Queen (or King) of the Kitchen will all want this on their shelf. For them, “Three Squares” is a book they’ll devour. *** What’s a meal without something to wash it down? In “Fizz: How Soda Shook Up the World” by Tristan Donovan, you’ll read how our love of bubbly soft drinks began, how it became an American treat, how it’s weaved into our culture, how it changed nations, and why it’s blamed so widely for health issues. This book is a snacker’s dream, a soda-lover’s delight, a historian’s pleasure, and something that’ll make you say “Cheers!”

“Fizz: How Soda Shook Up the World”

by Tristan Donovan 2013, Chicago Review Press $17.95 / $19.95 Canada 282 pages

“The First Phone Call from Heaven” by Mitch Albom 2013, Harper $24.99 / $32.99 Canada 272 pages The call almost scared you half to death.

First of all, it woke you up and everybody knows that middle-of-the-night phone calls are never good news. Secondly, you were sound asleep and third, who calls a wrong number at 3 a.m.?

It took you awhile to get back to sleep that night. You cursed the phone as soon as the alarm went off, but read “The First Phone Call from Heaven” by Mitch Albom and you might look differently at the device next time.

Tess Rafferty was occupied with a kitchen task when her phone rang. Irritated, she let her answering machine pick up the call, but when she heard the voice on the speaker, she stopped everything she was doing.

It was her mother on the phone.

Her mother had been dead for four years.

WHEAT RIDGE TRAnscRIpT

Katherine Yellin was the first to talk about her phone call because her sister, Diane – dead at age 46 – had told her to speak up. Then Tess admitted she’d gotten calls, too, and by weeks’ end, six people from little Coldwater, Michigan, had received phone calls from heaven.

Soon, Coldwater residents weren’t the only ones to know about the miracle.

Over in nearby Alpena, the local TV station sent one of their disposable reporters to see what was going on. Amy Penn wasn’t a believer, but she figured the best way to escape weekend shifts at the station was to scoop an exclusive story.

Once the national media heard about the phone calls from heaven, though, that wasn’t easy to do. Believers, the faithful, and the prayerful crowded into Coldwater, hoping to hear from their own loved ones beyond.

Yes, this book is predictable but it’s also entertaining, uplifting, and it can be shared with pretty much anybody.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

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

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

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

OUR VIEW efforts.

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

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

listening to others and showing vision.

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

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

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

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

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

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

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

What is the impact theater can have on the community?

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

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

Angela Astle, Lakewood

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

Ryan Goold, Lakewood

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

Bill Marino, Lakewood

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

Patty Yaconis, Lakewood

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

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

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

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

And there’s plenty to go around. People who thought the Affordable Care Act would be the greatest thing since sliced bread have been, to say the least, disappointed. By the same token, people who thought the ACA would be the end of the world have been exposed as, well, a bit hyperbolic. But, gee, at least we saw Washington, D.C. Put aside the acrimony and work together on ... oh, no, wait — that was disappointing, too.

But, see, it occurred to me as I was going through that list that everything that bothered me about 2013 were things largely out of my control. And then I remembered the wise words of a good friend who told me once that you can only control your self, your thoughts, and your reactions — you can’t control, it turns out, local sports teams, the newspaper industry, or the MegaMillions thing.

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

on me.

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

I can’t control what editors and publishers are looking for this year, but I can make sure that I write honestly and simply about things that matter to me.

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

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

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

Wheat Ridge Transcript 7

January 2, 2014

Flattery will get you everywhere OK, so maybe it’s not flattery that will get you everywhere but rather kindness or, at a minimum, kind words.

Now don’t get me wrong, flattery when sincerely given is not a bad place to start either. The problem comes when we use flattery as a weapon or manipulative tactic instead of having it come from the truth of the heart.

There are few things I enjoy more than hearing people speaking lovingly and kindly to one another. And I can assure you that as I have an opportunity to witness such sweet acts and hear such warm words, even though I am not a direct part of the conversation, it warms my heart and I find it to be just so wonderful. It inspires me to seek out opportunities to do the very same thing. And do it as quickly as possible.

You know the old saying, “If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” I often wonder why more people don’t subscribe to the philosophy or actually put it into practice on a more regular basis, doing it so often that it becomes a good habit and all that emerges from their lips are words of love, hope and

encouragement.

Love, hope, and encouragement are the essence of what kindness is really all about.

I bet you can think of a time or conversation that you had where you wish the words would have been sweeter, and the outcome much better.

Now, I know some families seem to believe that speaking harshly or even caustically to one another is their `norm’ and just couldn’t even imagine trying to speak words that build each other up instead of tearing each other down.

Unfortunately there are other old sayings and philosophical beliefs that are so heavily ingrained in the hearts and minds

of people that prohibit them from seeing the many benefits of speaking kindly and lovingly toward one another. Sayings like, “familiarity breeds contempt,” or “sometimes it just seems easier to say harsh things or hurt those closest to us.”

Maybe it’s time to break that cycle!

Maybe our resolution for 2014 could be to speak words of optimism, love, hope and encouragement to one another. What would that sound like in your house, in your family, with your friends, and even with your co-workers? Maybe it will feel a little uncomfortable and even unnatural at first. But here’s the deal, the more that we do it and do it consistently, the more the people around us will seem to change as well.

I would say that the majority of us long for words of hope and encouragement, and more importantly we respond favorably to such nurturing talk.

I am not sure about you, but when I feel like the flattery is sincere or that someone is building me up through the use of kind and loving words, I feel better and everything in my life feels and seems better. My relationships are stronger, work is

a better place to be, and my family seems to thrive whenever we really focus on our word choices and sincerity and intent of what we say.

“I am so proud of you.” “Nice job today.” “You look beautiful.” “I am so glad you are in my life.” “Thanks for all you do for me or for us.” These are just examples, but I can promise you that when we take the focus off of the bad and we make a genuine effort to look for the good and verbalize those good feelings to everyone we encounter, it will make an enormous and positive difference in every one of our relationships.

Are you speaking words of love, hope and encouragement? Are you operating first and foremost from a position of kindness? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we all start practicing this habit even just a little bit more in 2014, each week really will be a better than good week.

Get the message: He’s just not that into you Dear Neil: My husband left me 4 weeks ago. We have been married for 2 years, together for 4, and have 2 children, ages 4 and 2. I was pregnant when we met, and am now 27 (he is 24). We have been fighting a lot, and he is often angry at me.

Frequently he rages at me, and he’s hit me several times.

But I’m not ready to give up on him, and I forgive him. I was sexually and physically abused as a child, and I consider him my best friend. So recently I gave him a gift: a picture of us when we first married (with the wedding vows written around it), and an engraved bracelet. He threw them in my face. I asked if he still loved me, and he said no. But I love him, and I don’t know what to do.

He doesn’t see the kids unless I drive him (he doesn’t have a car), and he’s refusing to pay any child support. He also won’t talk to me anymore, is nasty toward me and blames me for everything that has gone wrong. He says he does not want to be with me anymore, and has pushed me and the kids completely away. I am afraid of letting him go. Please help.

All Alone in New Zealand Dear All Alone: He’s just not that into you, as the expression goes. He is being clear that he wants out of a relationship with you, and no matter how much you love him and forgive his transgressions, you are not going to change either his mind or his heart.

But what you are inviting is for him to become more violent toward you, because you are not accepting his “no” and you’re forcing unwanted contact on him.

People who come from abusive childhoods find abusive adult behavior oddly comforting and familiar. Especially if you were beaten or sexually abused with the

words: “I’m doing this because I love you,” it becomes easier as an adult to confuse abuse for love. So he gets nasty toward you, blames you, criticizes you, hits you, refuses communication with you and tells you point blank that he does not want you anymore — but you are forgiving him and are unwilling to accept that he wants out.

That is dangerous. You are telling him that he has to get more forceful and violent in order for you to finally get the message and back off.

He is very clearly saying “no” to you.

You are not going to convince him otherwise, no matter what you do. Only he can do that, and he doesn’t appear to be so

inclined. The only wise thing you can do, therefore, is to accept that he wants out — and mourn for the loss of your dreams, the loss for your children and the loss of your marriage — all of which you are avoiding by refusing to let him go.

Accepting this painful reality will assist you in licking your wounds and in looking carefully at what lessons can be taken from this experience. You would be wise to look at how you can grow and become better because of all of this, the mistakes you are determined not to repeat in your next relationship, and how you’re going to manage being a single mom with 2 young children.

Raising a glass

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The significant legislative events in 2013

By Vic Vela

ment.

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Gays celebrate

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

Here are the top stories from the 2013 legislative session:

Guns, guns, guns. Did we mention guns?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Total recall

The gun bills were met with fiery Capitol protests by pro-gun groups during the session. They and Republican lawmakers warned that Democrats would rue the day they chose to embark on those efforts.

That certainly was the case

Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, left, speaks in support of his civil unions bill Feb. 28 at a rally at the state Capitol.

Standing next to him are bill co-sponsors House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, and Rep. Sue Schaefer, D-Wheat Ridge. The bill passed the House Judiciary Committee later that day. File photo for three Democratic legislators.

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

The recall movement didn’t stop there.

Facing a potential recall election of her own, Sen. Evie Hudak of Westminster resigned rather than risk handing power over to Republicans in the Senate.

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

Not so fast, kids

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

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

have provided more resources for at-risk youth.

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

Pulling the lever with greater ease

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

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

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

Finally, after all these years

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

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

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

The powerful oil and gas lobby

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

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

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

The bill passed with bipartisan support in both legislative chambers.

It marked the first year since the bill was introduced two years earlier that it received a vote on the floor of the House. In the two previous sessions, the legislation had been killed by Republican-controlled House committees.

Several gay Democratic lawmakers were instrumental in the bill’s passage.

They included House Speaker Mark Ferrandino and Sen. Pat Steadman, both of Denver.

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

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

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

The death penalty doesn’t part

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

QUILT SHOW Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum, 1213 Washington Ave., Golden, presents “MANifestations,” the museum’s 12th biennial exhibit of quilts made by men. The show runs from Jan. 31 to April 29. Go to www.rmqm.org.

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

But Hickenlooper has concerns over capital punishment, as evidenced by his decision in May to grant a temporary reprieve to Nathan Dunlap — a man who was on death row for killing four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993.

Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em

The General Assembly put in place several pieces of legislation that created regulations for Colorado’s new marijuana industry.

The rules came on the heels of the 2012 voter-approved Amendment 64, which legalized the use and sale of recreational marijuana in Colorado.

Lawmakers created regulations for

retail pot shops, including possession limits. The bills also put guidelines in place intended to keep the drug out of the hands of children.

In November, voters overwhelming approved a tax structure for retail pot sales.

Marathon days and crabby moods

Finally, it wouldn’t have been the 2013 legislative session without daily, marathon-like committee hearings and floor votes.

Debate and testimony on polarizing bills often went deep into the night, which led to short fuses on the part of sleep-deprived lawmakers, especially in the final weeks of the session.

Republicans blasted Democrats for trying to push legislation in the final weeks. But some acknowledged privately that they would have done the same thing, had the roles had been reversed.

Ralston Valley swims along with state’s best Lakewood and Golden also standout among 58 teams

By Daniel Williams dwilliams@ coloradocommunitymedia.com THORNTON - Several Jeffco schools shined including Ralston Valley who finished in as the sixth best school during the G13 CHSSCA Girls Swim-Dive Invitational Saturday at Veterans memorial Aquatic Center.

The Mustangs finished sixth out of 58 schools that attended the meet with contributions from swimmers like Erin Metzger-Seymour, who won the 100 Fly with a time of 00:56.11.

Fairview won the meet with a team score of 271, Cherry Creek took second with a score 238, and Regis Jesuit finished in third place with a score of 217.

But the Mustangs proved to be Jeffco’s best getting strong performances across the board including a fourth-place finish in the 400 free relay (03:37.47), and second in the 500 freestyle and fourth in the 200 individual medley, both swam by Mad-

eline Myers.

“I am very happy with the way we sway today,” Ralston Valley coach Annie Brown said. “We think we have a good team so it is good to come out and test ourselves against some of the best.”

Lakewood and Golden also had strong meets as the Tigers finished in 20th place with 33 points, and the Demons finishing in 31st place with nine points.

Lakewood’s Kyla Foster had a “fantastic meet,” according to her coach Jennifer Snowberg.

Foster swam right on her times from last season, finishing the meet with a personal

record of more than a second on her 100 free split on the final relay going 00:57.6.

“It was a very emotional meet and a bittersweet end swimming the final relay by default. Nonetheless, our relay that was seeded 30th going into the meet, 17th going into finals, and ending up 11th with a total of a 10 second improvement throughout the day,” Snowberg said.

The Demons had several standout performances as well including Sabrina Sabadeanu’s who finished with the seventh best score in the 100 back with a time of 01:00.48.

The Jefferson Saints were one of the state’s worst football programs until their resurgance that landed them in the 2A playoffs this season.

Top 10 Jeffco sports stories of 2013 State titles, runners-up, a firing and feel good stories fill our list

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ coloradocomminitymedia.com It is always fun to look back and reminisce on the good old days ... of earlier this year.

But in sports to reflect on recent accomplishments, especially in preps sports, always warms the holiday heart. And in Jeffco sports this season both boys and girls the long-time league had a banner year.

Here is a look at the top 10 stories in Jeffco sports from 2013.

10) Ralston Valley boys’ golf; The Mustangs made a run at a team state title at the state golf tournament at Murphy Creek Golf Course.

Ralston Valley finished second in state as a team with scores of 221-227 — 448, 23 strokes behind state champion Regis Jesuit 212-213—245.

Neil Tillman led the charge for Ralston Valley shooting back-to-back 74s and finished +4 (74-74—148) and Keegan Sheard shot well both days finishing +5 (73-76— 149).

9) Pomona football; The Panthers made a run all the way to the state quarterfinals where they played No. 1 Fairview, and after holding an early lead fell 35-24.

It was the second meeting between the two schools; Fairview beat Pomona 33-30 in overtime in Week 8.

Fairview went on to the state championship game, but Pomona once again proved itself as one of the best programs in the state.

8) Soggy spring sports season; Schedule makers scattered to reschedule soccer, lacrosse, tennis, baseball and track and

field after one of the wettest springs seasons and snowiest April’s in history.

The Colorado High School Activities Association estimated more than 1,000 cancellations and postponements and assistant commissioner Bert Borgmann called this season the worst in 25 years.

7) Scotty Lubkeman graduates from Golden; The iconic Demons’ alum played basketball, was an excellent student and was one of the most popular kids in school.

Lubkeman also just happens to have Down syndrome. But that certainly has never slowed Scotty down. Lubkeman is now a Golden boys’ basketball assistant coach.

6) Faith Christian football; The Eagles are not technically a Jeffco school, but they are certainly in the Jeffco district. And all their football team did this year was run all the way to the state championship game where they were beaten by Platte Valley 28-19.

But their incredible run at a title included beating No. 1 ranked Brush 24-14 on their home field, all while averaging 67.5 points per game over the their 10 win season.

5) Reid Kahl dismissed from Wheat Ridge; The longtime Wheat Ridge coach was dismissed from his head coaching position and transferred to Jefferson High School after making inappropriate remarks to a student on his Facebook page.

Kahl has fought to get his job back and has had ample support, but his actions made the decision easy for the school district.

However, without Kahl the football program which was regarded as one of the best in the state is impacted. Kahl won two state titles in his eight seasons with the Farmers.

4) Jefferson Saints football; The resurgence of the Jefferson Saints program is perhaps the feel good sports story of the year.

After Jefferson football won only 2 games in 10 years going 2-77, alum Antho-

Faith Christian football isn’t officially a Jeffco program but all of Jeffco can certainly respect the incredible season the Eagles had. File photos ny Rankin took over the program and took it to the playoffs for the first time since the 1980s and gave them their first winning season since 1996.

A scheduling flap cost Jefferson a forfeit and nearly cost them a playoff berth.

However, someone was watching over the Saints and they qualified for the playoffs as a wildcard and one of the best teams in 2A football.

3) D’Evelyn girls’ hoops; The Jaguars were a force last season and ran all the way to the state championship game before falling to Pueblo South 66-42.

D’Evelyn had lost only two game the entire season finishing 26-2 (14-0 in 4A Jeffco) and they were good enough to win a state title. Pueblo South was just better that day.

2) Jeffco at state wrestling; There were too many standout performers to mention but Jeffco wrestling in 2012-2013 needed to be high on this list.

Not only did Pomona win a 5A state team title but Jeffco produced state titles from all over the district including Aaron Cisneros who at 126 pounds won Jefferson’s first ever state championship.

In addition, Bear Creek’s P.T. Garcia scored a 10-5 victory over Devon Zavala of Denver East in the 5A 132-pound final to capture his second consecutive state championship.

1) Wheat Ridge softball; After barely falling short of a state title in 2012, the 2013 Lady Farmers put it all together and beat Erie 4-0 to win a 4A state championship.

Coach Marty Stricklett put another ring on his ringer and another banner in Wheat Ridge’s gym after the Farmers’ 24-1 record (7-0 in 4A Jeffco).

Star sluggers sophomore Ann Marie Torres and junior Analece Apocada provided the power and senior Jessica Salbato was the ace that put it all together.

Rams roll over Ponderosa led by unlikely duo Green Mountain climbing toward league summit

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com LAKEWOOD - The Lady Rams pounded Ponderosa 6823 in their pre-holiday break finale last Saturday at Green Mountain High School.

The Rams used a total team effort that included getting scoring contributions from 10 different players and take a sleigh full of momentum into their break as they prepare for league play.

Green Mountain jumped all over Ponderosa early outscoring them 18-4 in the first quarter and taking a 36-9 lead into halftime.

The Rams were led by freshman phenom Delany Bernard who scored 18 points and chipped in three rebounded and three assists.

Bernard was assisted by senior Kelli Van Tassel and her 15 points and nine rebounds.

And while the rest of Green Mountain’s very deep and very talented roster are as good as any in 4A Jeffco, the duo of Bernard and Van Tassel have become a force potentially good enough to win a league title.

Not only did the unlikely pair of a freshman and a senior dominate Ponderosa to the point where they didn’t get the chance to play much in the second half.

They are both averaging over 13 points per game this season and the rest of the league has taken notice.

However, they are also certainly not top heavy. Green Mountain not only has five freshman on their varsity team but they are all also a part of the rotation.

And the Rams only other senior is Mackenzie Schaller, who is one the best rebounders in Jeffco, is pulling down over seven rebounds per game.

With the victory over Ponderosa the Rams improve to 4-2 on the season with their only two losses coming by Thompson Valley (by only one point) and to 5A opponent Mountain Vista.

Green Mountain will play at Denver South on Friday at

Green Mountain frosh Danielle Lord is just one of multiple super-talented freshmen on the Rams’ roster this season. File photo

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

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

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

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

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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