Shift eyed at Jeffco middle schools Plan is to move sixth-graders in the coming years

By Crystal Anderson Special to Colorado Community Media Three years ago, Mitchell Elementary in Golden became a K-5 school, shifting its sixth graders over to Bell Middle School.

The move has been a good one, Mitchell Principal Samantha Hollman said.

“It strengthened our K-5 curriculum,” she said. “And our middle school teachers are content-driven, so kids were not only given the opportunity to have content specialists, but also electives that we

can’t offer here … They have more choices.”

The reconfiguration of middle schools in Jefferson County to include sixth grade is a key initiative in what school district officials describe as a way to better utilize existing facilities, alleviate overcrowding at the elementary school level and give students more educational and recreational opportunities.

But although school officials say nearly 75 percent of sixth-graders across the country attend a sixththrough eighth-grade middle school, the change has some Jeffco parents asking about social and educational effects of the transition.

Living in a tiny house provides people with the opportunity to have a big life.

At least in Darla Vercruysse’s opinion.

“People are so impressed once they see them,” she said. “They’re always pleasantly surprised.”

Vercruysse is a tiny house builder with a shop in Aurora where the homes are built.

Not only are there economic cost advantages to living in a tiny house, Vercruysse said, everything is compact and easy. So less time is spent doing household chores, she said, which allows more time for enjoying life.

“Tiny house, big life,” she said, reciting her company’s motto.

And there are so many options for them — they’re perfect for single people or a small family just starting out, Vercruysse said. Or they can be used as separate student housing, a mother-inlaw addition, a guest house or detached home office.

“Tiny houses open up a lot of opportunities,” Vercruysse said. People can’t believe how spacious they actually are, she added.

Vercruysse and other local businesses in the energy efficiency and tiny house industries were in Golden for the Energy Efficiency Business Coalition’s tiny house expo on Sept. 1. The coalition, a nonprofit organization with the purpose to advocate for energy efficiency, is specific

HELLO

...

My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

CHRISTIE HASBROUCK Ph.D. student at Colorado School of Mines was awarded competitive fellowship -Tau Beta Pi I was inducted to Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society, on April 13, 2013.

It’s multi-disciplinary for the engineering field. Anyone in engineering is eligible, but you have to be within a top percent of your class during your junior or senior year. So there’s an academic requirement and there’s also a character requirement — you have to prove you want to be in it.

Because all engineering majors are eligible, it’s more competitive than a specialized engineering honor society.

I recently was awarded a fellowship from Tau Beta Pi. It’s a national fellowship and is also very competitive. Once you get in the honor society, you’re competing against all the honor society people for the fellowship.

from the Indianapolis area.

My education and stipend is being covered by Rolls-Royce and the research I do will go to them. The fellowship is going toward living expenses and other schoolrelated stuff, such as textbooks.

A fateful match I earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in metallurgical engineering from Trine University in Angola, Indiana. Most of what I found myself interested in was metals, so I talked with a professor at Trine, and he told me there are only a few schools in the U.S. that still have a traditional metallurgical program.

Then, Dr. Stephen Liu, (the director for Mines’ Center for Welding, Joining & Coatings Research), reached out to me and gave me a basic overview of the projects offered for incoming students at Mines. One of them matched up really well for me. It is sponsored by Rolls-Royce in Indianapolis, and it’s exactly what I want to do — joining aerospace materials. After I completed my bachelor’s, I was offered a fulltime job with Rolls-Royce, so the interest to work there was already there. It felt kind of like fate because I’m

Proud to be a new Oredigger I’m enrolled in the Ph.D. program at Mines, so I’m planning on being in Colorado for at least five or six years.

I’ve been to Colorado a couple of times for vacation. The weather out here is so nice — it’s super-humid in Indiana. There is a lot of stuff to do out here — hiking, kayaking and other outdoor activities that I enjoy that aren’t so readily available in Indiana. I’m really into cycling, and I’d like to join a non-competitive cycling group. Where I’m from in southern Indiana doesn’t get a lot of snow, so snowboarding is something I also hope to get back into while I’m here.

I am so proud to be an Oredigger. I love the school, I love the program, I love the area. Everything I’ve seen here, I like.

A look at the future, a reflection on the past Arvada Center’s galleries celebrate 40 years with established and new artists

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com In the Arvada Center’s 40 years, it has played host to established artists, ones just getting into the swing of their careers, and provided space for artists’ first exhibits.

All of this is highlighted in “Looking Back/Moving Forward,” the center’s two new fall exhibits.

“The artists we have on display here aren’t just important to the Arvada Center, but the entire metro area,” said Collin Parson, the center’s exhibition manager and curator. “There is so often a theme here of contemporary Colorado artists, and it’s great we can highlight that.”

The exhibits run at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through Nov. 13. “Looking Back: 40 Years/40 Artists” is on display in the Main Gallery, and “Moving Forward: The Next 40 Years” is on display in the Upper and Theatre galleries. Galleries are open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.

“It was really difficult to choose the artists for both shows, because we’ve had so many great ones,” exhibition coordinator Kristin Bueb, said. “We wanted all kinds of mediums and varieties for the exhibits.”

For “Looking Back,” Parson and Bueb combed through the center’s archives to find artists who had important shows at the center, exhibited often, or made an impact on the Colorado art scene. Once the challenging task of narrowing the artists’ list down to 40 was completed, Parson and Bueb were able to get new works from almost all the artists to display. Participating artists include “Suburban Regionalist” Bill Amundson, Sushe Flex, a Denver-based landscape artist, Tony Ortega, an associate professor at Regis University, and sculptor Virginia Folkestad.

“The space inspired me on the installation piece I’m doing for the exhibit, called ‘Echo: Faint Memory,’” ex-

The exhibition is Fike’s first at the center, and he said he’s honored to be a part of the mixing of generations the exhibits represent.

“As a curator, often you want to always have the newest thing in your galleries,” Parson said. “But you can’t forget the people’s work that you’ve built on.”

Julia J. Smith plained Folkestad. “I like to combine nature and culture in my work.”

One of the highlights of the exhibition is a time-line of as many of the exhibits from the center’s history as staff was able to locate.

Folkestad’s first Arvada Center exhibit was in 1991, and she said she’s excited to be one of the selected artists.

“It’s a lot to give an artist space the way they do at the Arvada Center,” she said. “It’s really so important that these kinds of spaces are around. And what a wonderful space it is.”

“Moving Forward” looks to the future of the art world, focusing on artists who are establishing themselves as important voices. The exhibit features 19 artists in a wide swath of mediums, including potter and sculptor Kazu Oba, Ashley Eliza Williams, a Boulder based painter, and multimedia artist Tobias Fike.

“The work I have on display in this exhibit is about a home that had been in my family for 109 years,” Fike said. “It’s all found objects, and it’s been great at the center because they’ve let me experiment.”

Marijuana grows often cause extensive damage to the houses where they are maintained and are increasingly the causes of house fires, blown electrical transformers, and environmental damage. Much like the meth houses of the 1990s, many of these homes may ultimately be rendered uninhabitable.”

Although the State Constitution allows any adult over 21 to grow up to 6 plants — each of which can produce a pound of marijuana every 90 days — it has a loophole which states that any citizen can assist another citizen in growing their 6 plants, making it nearly impossible to prosecute someone who is in fact growing hundreds of plants.

What is the outlook in coming years? The final paragraph of the DEA report paints a distressing picture: “Adding to the list of unintended consequences of marijuana legalization in Colorado, the proliferation of large residential grows is taxing local police and fire departments, consuming power and water resources, and potentially affecting home values in communities throughout the state. Further, the ability to establish large-scale marijuana grow operations within residential homes under the guise of state law will likely continue to attract drug traffickers and criminal organizations. Thus, Colorado will continue to be a source for much of the marijuana destined for markets in other states.”

7th District candidate highlights local connections

Republican George Athanasopoulos vying for Perlmutter’s congressional seat

By Jeremy Johnson jjohnson@coloradocommunitymedia.com George Athanasopoulos, the Republican candidate for the 7th Congressional District, is aware of his image as a political outsider — and considers it a good thing.

“Look at where all these experienced politicians have gotten us,” said the retired disabled military officer, who served in the U.S. Army for nearly 14 years. “If you feel the politicians in Washington, D.C., don’t represent you, have let you down and are voting against your best interest, then you want somebody who isn’t part of that. You want somebody who is an outsider.”

Besides, Athanasopoulos added, he’s an insider where it matters most.

“I’m a local — I was born and raised here. I understand this community,” said the Wheat Ridge native and Jeffco schools graduate. “I’m surrounded by friends and family, and I’m running for Congress because of them, their needs, their problems, their aspirations. I’m not a political tourist. This has always been my home and it will always be my home.”

A homegrown man of the world After high school Athanasopoulos enrolled at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he served as president of the Student Union’s legislative council. He then interned for former Republican Sen. Wayne Allard and served on the senator’s staff for the Armed Services Committee in Washington, D.C. Shortly after Athanasopoulos graduated in 2002 with a bachelor’s degree in political science, he was off again.

“Three days after my last class, I shipped out and spent the next 13 1/2 years as an infantry officer in the U.S. Army, (where) I toured Iraq four times,” he said.

Athanasopoulos retired from the Army Feb. 26 and filled out his candidacy paperwork three days later.

“So, my entire adult life I’ve had about six days where I wasn’t in college, wasn’t in Athanasopoulos the Army and wasn’t a candidate.”

Anthanasopoulos — who married his childhood friend and fellow Wheat Ridge High School and UC-Boulder graduate, Ashley, in 2009 — said his family was the main reason he decided to run for congress.

“I’m running for this seat because I want what every other parent wants: to leave our children a legacy of security and opportunity,” said the father of two boys. “As of right now, we’re on track to leave our children a world that is less secure and where future opportunities are diminished, and we will be remembered as the first generation in American history to leave the world after worse off.”

Leveraging personal experiences Specifically, Athanasopoulos is concerned about national debt and government spending, immigration, foreign policy, free trade and an increasingly deadlocked Congress.

The son of a Greek father and an Irish mother — both adult immigrants — Athanasopoulos compares his upbringing to the movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.”

He also compared the current financial crisis in Greece to what is awaiting the U.S. if the national debt continues its current trend.

“Look at what’s happening in Greece, Puerto Rico, Venezuela,” he said. “If you look at the U.S. now, our debt has gone up … over 100 percent of gross domestic product, and that is not sustainable over the long term.”

Athanasopoulos blamed current legislators, including incumbent 7th District Congressman Ed Perlmutter, a Democrat, for overspending.

EDITOR’S NOTE This is the second of three profiles of the candidates for the 7th Congressional District of Colorado, who will face off in November’s general election. A profile of Libertarian candidate Martin Buchanan was published April 18 and is available at wheatridgetranscript.com/stories/7thDistrict-candidate-highlights-local-connections,221939. A profile of incumbent Democratic Congressman Ed Perlmutter is also available online.

Perlmutter “has presided over a more than doubling of the (national) debt,” Athanasopoulos said. “He’s a `nice guy’ who is piling debt onto the backs of your children, debt that they’ll never be able to pay off and which will diminish their future opportunities.”

But Athanasopoulos also blames some existing government policies. He said his first move as a legislator would be to push forward federal hiring freezes to reduce costs, and to help implement a federal audit to eliminate waste and ensure taxpayer money is being properly spent. The veteran also said he would push for stronger borders for the sake of national safety and increased government accountability — especially in Congress.

“They need to start doing their job,” he said.

An appealing candidate Steve House, chairman of the Colo-

rado Republican Party, said Athanasopoulos’s military background is just one thing that makes the newbie such an appealing candidate for the GOP. “The election part of politics, where you’re running for office, is a very difficult process, and I think … guys out of the military are used to the discipline,” he said. “George knows the process, and he also knows how to work hard.”

House also called the GOP candidate smart and compatible.

“He’s a very smart guy and he doesn’t seem to be predisposed too much on anything specific,” House said. “He seems to be a guy who’s willing to take in information and also create his own ideas — and that’s a pretty good gift when you’re going into politics.”

But Westminster Councilman Bruce Baker — whose bid to be the Replublican 7th Congressional District candidate came to a close when the GOP Assembly chose Athanasopoulos — said his party opponent was simply more of a “stereotype conservative.”

“What I find so disappointing … is my campaign was focused on the unifying elements of American culture, rather than what too many campaigns focus on, which are the things that divide us,” the councilman said.

The former military officer disagrees — especially considering his roots and commonalities with voters in the region.

“I’m a father with a young family, a first-generation American and a disabled veteran,” Athanasopoulos said.

“I’m going to appeal to a broad spectrum of voters … because I’m just like them. I understand what their problems are, I understand what their frustrations are. I get it.”

Shift

Continued from Page 1

Reasons for the shift Overall, the district has about 6,500 sixth-grade students in elementary, middle school and K-8 buildings. Reconfiguring middle schools to include sixth grade would affect about 5,000 sixth graders. Some of those students will feed into the Alameda and Jefferson area schools, which house students in seventh through 12th grades in one school.

Of the district’s 17 middle schools, five already include sixth graders. The district also has three K-8 schools, which will remain as they are, according to the district’s plans.

The Chatfield High School feeder area will move sixth graders from its seven elementaries to middle schools in the 201718 school year. The rest of the district’s K-6 schools would make the change in the 2018-19 school year, if a bond measure this November passes.

“This gives us the opportunity to not only leverage our facilities, but to really wrap our supports around our sixth graders and make middle school a really good experience for everyone involved,” said Terry Elliott, chief school effectiveness officer for Jeffco Public Schools.

The Jeffco Board of Education approved the middle school plan this summer as part of its Facilities Master Plan, which calls for $535 million in capital renovation and construction costs for the district’s 155 schools.

In August, the school board approved placing a bond measure and mill levy override on the November ballot, for a total tax request of $568 million. The additional tax revenue would pay for capital needs listed in the facilities plan, along with teacher compensation costs, new mental health staff and a number of other school-based program improvements.

Approximately $100 million would be specifically for the sixth-grade shift.

If the bond should fail, district sources say they will continue to move sixth graders to middle schools, but would have to evaluate where and when that change would be most fiscally feasible.

“In the end, the grade configuration is not as important as what is happening in the classroom and at the school,” Elliot said. “And we see this as a way to really make the middle experience a really enjoyable one for our students.”

Benefits to change Education experts say most middle schools across the country are gravitating to the sixth- through eighth-grade middle school structure.

But “it’s more than just slapping a new grade in the building,” said Dru Tomlin, director of middle-level services at the Association for Middle Level Education, an international organization focused on advancing education for students ages 10 to 15. “It’s about what you do when the students get in there.”

The best middle school environments provide programs and teachers with the

educational tools to meet young adolescents’ needs, Tomlin and Elliott said.

A key structure to making sure that happens is an advisement program or small learning community in which each teacher meets regularly with 12 to 15 students, developing relationships that help those students thrive, said Tomlin, a former middle school principal and elementary school assistant principal.

That means “some sort of class like that or some sort of curriculum that responds to their social, emotional and behavioral needs,” he said. “At this age, kids are neurologically hooked up to take risks and to make questionable decisions …That teacher is seen and becomes the adult advocate for those young adolescents.”

Other key elements include a disciplinary system based on positive reinforcement rather than punishment, programs supporting social and emotional growth, and opportunities that begin readying students for college and careers, which often can’t be done in a K-6 setting, Tomlin and Elliott said.

“Students may accelerate and enrich their learning, there’s content expertise to help students play catch-up if they’re behind, and they have more electives and academic opportunities ...,” Elliott said of a 6-8 model. “Behaviorally, there are more academic counselors and social emotional learning specialists — a specialized counselor for students.”

Parent’s views Parent concerns about the change have included worries about placing younger children in an older environment, the cost and the potential disruption to current sixth-grade teachers.

Diana Wilson, spokeswoman for the district, said that sixth-grade teachers will have a choice of moving up to the middle school level or looking for new positions at their elementary, or within the district.

“This transition is not expected to result in a reduction in the teaching force as we will have the same number of students in our schools,” Wilson said.

For a number of parents, the transition seems positive, based on the range of programming middle schools can provide.

Cindy Pearson, the mother of a middle schooler and an educational tutor, said that in her experience, moving sixth graders up to the older school can work, if handled properly. Her own middle schooler attended Bell Middle School for sixth grade.

“In Bell Middle School, sixth graders were grouped together in a certain part of the school to decrease travel time between classes and help them feel like they were part of the sixth-grade family,” Pearson said.

But several parents of children with special needs, such as autism, strongly oppose the change in grade structure.

Erin Aggus is the mother of a sixthgrade student with autism in Jefferson County.

“The 6-8 middle school model can be very harmful for kids like my son,” she said in an email. “Due to the fact that there really is no official program for the ‘high-functioning’ kids beyond sixth

In addition to cleaning up pet waste, volunteers will help beautify the park by helping to restore trails. Activities for children ages 6 and up will be provided as well as lunch for volunteers.

A signed liability form and registration is required. For more information on other requirements, to register or download a printable version of the liability form, visit www.eventbrite.com and type “National Public Lands Day at Elk Meadow Park” into the search box.

ALREADY MADE THE GRADE Five of Jefferson County School’s 17 middle schools already include sixth-graders on campus: • Bell Middle (Golden) • Deer Creek (Littleton) • Evergreen Middle • Falcon Bluffs (Chatfield) • West Jefferson (Conifer) grade, moving to this model takes away another year of support that they would normally receive before entering middle school.”

Donna Nemer, whose sixth-grade son also has autism and attends Betty Adams Elementary in Westminster, agreed. She says the district has a definite lack of strong programming at the middle school level for students like her son. She opposes any district plan that would force students like hers out of trusted elementary-level special education program a year early.

“Nowhere is it spelled out how that $100 million in bond money, for the sixthgrade transition, would be used to help our kids,” Nemer said.

When asked about the availability of services for special education students, Elliott said the district already has several campuses where sixth graders with special needs are being served. He also said the district had begun a new evaluation of the district’s special education services, to help ensure all students, no matter where they are located, are served well.

While only one district middle school (Sobesky) currently has an autism-specific learning center, Wilson said all the district’s schools have access to specialists who can be brought to a given campus to help meet all special education students’ needs.

Tomlin of the Association for Middle Level Education noted that parent input, whether positive or critical, is key to ensuring the best possible learning environment.

“The good thing is parents care,” he said. “I get worried — not about the squeaky wheel — I get worried when the wheel no longer squeaks.”

New possibilities East Coast transplant Katie Winner moved with her two children to west Arvada and said she purposefully chose to enroll her first grader and fourth grader at Mitchell Elementary, specifically because they would get to move up to Bell Middle School in sixth grade.

“In middle school, from what I can see, there’s just going to be more options, a broader range of electives,” Winner said.

In particular, the sixth-eighth grade STEM program at Bell was interesting to her, but she also liked the increased foreign language and arts opportunities.

Winner said she has a hard time judging how mature her fourth-grade son will be in two years, and how ready he will or won’t be for the rigors of middle school.

The district has earned her faith, though, with outreach about the sixth-grade shift, such as through a telephone town hall held earlier this summer, she said.

“I really trust in the school district to make this a thoughtful transition.” said Winning. “There definitely feels like there’s a concerted effort in Jeffco to make parents feel like they’re involved in a meaningful way.”

For Rob Hoover, principal at Deer Creek Middle School in south Jefferson County, the inclusion of sixth-graders has been positive. The school added most of its area sixth graders in the fall of 2014, starting a STEM program at the same time.

Choices can excite families, staff and students about new possibilities, Hoover said.

“Having some diversity of age is a valuable thing for a school,” he said. “I don’t think anyone would argue that middle school presents a rough time for kids, and I think it’s taken a long time to get people accustomed to the fact that sixth graders are ready … In my experience, the question is not `Why are we doing this?’ — it’s `Why haven’t we done this?’ ” — Shanna Fortier, Ann Healey and Glenn Wallace contributed to this report.

September 15, 2016

Getting to Know Steve Brown knows, once you start here, you don’t want to work anywhere else. The people who work here just love it. I haven’t been anywhere with care as cohesive as is offered at Lutheran.

I’ve been working as a radiologist with Rocky Mountain Radiologists for the past 30 years, and while I love the job, I’ve been looking for a new challenge. The chief medical officer opportunity became available, and I’m really excited about it.

Brown begins new position Sept. 30 as chief medical officer at Lutheran Medical Center

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com About me I am a third-generation Colorado native, born in Fort Collins. I attended Colorado State University, but did most of medical training in California, completing my radiology residency at Stanford.

I served in the Air Force for a time, and was recruited to Lutheran Medical Center in 1986 by a friend with whom I served.

And as almost everyone who works here

My role as CMO Chief Medical Officer at Lutheran Medical Center (8300 W. 38th Ave.) is a pretty busy position, because one of my main jobs is overseeing the quality of care for patients. That includes dealing with

things like patients’ safety and overseeing the medical staff office, which is something I’ve already been very involved in.

I will also be taking lots of opportunities to improve relationships between our physicians and Brown the hospital and ensuring this is the best place for them to work. That might include involving them in new business creation efforts and filling any gaps in care that might arise.

One area I want to focus on is helping to provide primary care to those entering Medicare. Right now there just aren’t a lot of primary care doctors available, and

with this population growing, we need to address this.

In my free time Lots of skiing, and we really like the Broncos and going to games. My wife Susan and I have two daughters, so we like to go visit them. We also like hiking and fishing.

What I’m most excited about I’m very excited for the chance to continue working at a hospital I really care about, and have a greater impact. When you’re able to make changes to programs, as opposed to the individual level, you can make a difference for a bigger group of people.

Staff report

HIGH SCHOOL Golden History Museums’ curator Mark Dodge puts the finishing touches on a display part of the Golden History Center’s upcoming Epic Events exhibit, which recounts the history of Golden from 1858 — the gold rush era — to about 2013.

The exhibit will be a part of the museum’s permanent collection and coinAWARDS cides with the museums’ master timeline of Golden history, www.GoldenHistory. org/epic.

This is the first time the museums have done a timeline show, Dodge said. More than 40 events and at least three dozen artifacts from across the timeline will be displayed at any given time. Probably 80 percent of the artifacts have never been seen by the public before, Dodge said, and staff will always be adding more dates and rotating artifacts. The exhibit also includes multimedia components.

Title Sponsor

IF YOU GO… What: Golden History Museums’ Epic Events exhibit.

When: Permanent exhibit that opens to the public on Sept. 18. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday to Monday. Closed Tuesdays.

Where: Golden History Center, 923 10th St. Cost: Admission is $3 for people age 7 and up, and free for museum members and children age 6 and under.

Contact: www.GoldenHistory.org or 303278-3557 during business hours.

Timeline exhibits give people a base for an event or artifact they may want to explore further, Dodge said, and he believes the displays will peak a lot of peoples’ interests.

“Whether born and raised in Golden, or just coming in,” he said, “I hope there will be something that appeals to everyone.”

VOICES

LOCAL

After 15 years, have we learned our lessons?

As you’re reading this, things have probably gone back to normal. As I’m writing this, the news, the sports, and the calendar are all reminding me that this day, September 11th, is not a normal day.

And yet, as I look around at my Facebook feed, and at my Twitter feed, and consider the morning news shows, I am convinced that this is actually, sadly, an all-too-normal day.

Of course, I remember vividly the events of 15 years ago. I also remember the indescribable sense of unity that suddenly washed over the country. The people that perpetrated 9/11 killed indiscriminately, without regard for skin color, gender, gender identity, creed or political affiliation. They killed us as if there were an identifiable “us” to kill — they saw us as a unified whole. Unified by our American-ness, by our belief in freedom, pluralism, diversity and strength.

They did not draw distinctions to preserve any of us. We were all targets.

And, for a time afterwards, we believed that, too. We saw that, whatever divided us, less than one year after the most contentious Presidential election in our lifetimes, the things we held in common were powerful, and meaningful, and enough to inspire evil and misguided young men to try to kill all of us. At the very least, the common enemy inspired us to stand together as one, because we were all targets.

It was supposed to be the day the world changed, the day time stood still.

Time has marched on. And nothing has

changed.

The summer before 9/11 the great political debate in this country was about stem cell research — remember that? The argument about whether it was ethical to destroy human embryos/unborn human babies for the purpose of medical Michael Alcorn research. Last summer, one of the great politiHITTING cal debates (and that’s HOME using the word “great” VERY loosely) was about hidden camera videos that showed Planned Parenthood staffers negotiating to sell aborted babies for profit for medical research.

After 9/11, American flags flew proudly from every public arena, venue, and most houses, and a baseball game, a football game, and car races were opportunities for us to celebrate our commonalities. 10 hours ago (writing time), a handful of professional football players chose to not stand in honor of the flag, to draw attention to that which divides us.

And, while one of our Presidential candidates this year has run a campaign based largely on identifying who the “us-es” and the “thems” are in America, the other candidate, just the other day, declared that at least 20 percent of the country belongs in

a “basket of deplorables,” because they A. don’t support her, which must mean that B. they are all racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, Neanderthals.

You know, come to think of it, I could very easily be wrong: things might have changed since 9/11. Things actually, incredibly, may have gotten worse.

The trouble is, that which divides us does little to slow the hatred of those who would destroy us. The shooter at Ft. Hood did not target one race or gender over any other, in the most diverse profession in America, that of soldier. It did not slow down the killers in San Bernadino, who opened fire indiscriminately at a Christmas Party. And it did not occur to the man who murdered 50 people at a night club in Orlando, that among that specific subset of Americans, were likely also blacks, whites, Hispanics, Democrats, and maybe even a few Republicans. In each event, each targeted at a subset, the actual killing was directed at all of us.

But, we forget. Time marches on, and we can’t even agree any more on what to call the people who want us dead.

It seems to me, they should just step back at this point, and wait for us to collapse all on our own. We may not need any help, any more.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vote yes on Jeffco school bond I’m supporting Jeffco Schools’ 2016 mill/bond campaign — yes on 3A & 3B — because I believe in Jeffco Schools. We have strong traditions of excellence here, but we need to invest to ensure we remain one of the top districts in the state. Currently, Jeffco salaries are below the average of the five most comparable nearby districts — sometimes as much as 16 percent lower. In the past few years, Jeffco’s teacher turnover has risen steadily, and our current school board values Jeffco so much they want our district to be the first choice for the best teachers. We also need to invest in increased mental health support for schools, increased security, increased Student Based Budgeting

funding for all schools, increased support services and equitable allocations to all charter schools.

This ensures Jeffco students will receive the education necessary to prepare them for college and careers.

At the same time, the average school in Jeffco is 45 years old.

Think of the maintenance you do on your home — even a new home. What happens if you put it off? We need to invest in muchneeded improvements, technology updates, repairs and science lab upgrades. We need to invest in long-overdue renovations and additions, including new classroom space — something that has not been added since the 2004 bond passed 12 years ago. And, we need to build new

schools where our district has outgrown the existing schools.

Join me in voting yes on 3A & 3B. Kelly Johnson, Golden Positive energy Colorado has become victim to the constant onslaught of the anti-energy extremists pushing to shut down gas and oil development. If the hostile environment continues, energy companies could simply pick up and move to a friendlier state. If this happens, then life as we know it will be gone. The financial and economic impacts could devastate our economy.

Whether you realize it or not, our economy and livelihood are

tied to oil and gas production.

These resources heat and cool our homes. Countless textiles and other products are comprised of petroleum byproducts.

Because of these products, we are seeing an uptick in American manufacturing. What’s more, Colorado natural gas has contributed to near 30-year lows in greenhouse gas emissions. It is imperative that we take the time to truly understand how beneficial continued oil and natural gas production is to Colorado’s economy – we must support the industry.

What is Sustainable Printing?

It’s the paper: Biodegradable, renewable, recycled, reusable.

It’s the ink: Soy based inks are used, reused then recycled.

It’s the plate: Process-free plates eliminate VOC’s and reduce water usage.

It’s the press: Using cold-set presses reduces the amount of VOC’s put into the air.

It’s the location: Printed locally reducing shipping and postage costs, while saving gas, emissions and time.

Say yes to Jeffco mill and bond Jeffco public schools is one of the best districts in Colorado. We have great teachers, wonderful neighborhood schools, and many choice programs, option schools and charter schools. But we need to fund our public schools to support good public education. TABOR limits investment in our schools from the State of Colorado, so we must locally invest more money to make up the deficit.

The mill and bond, 3A and 3B, will support student achievement in Jeffco.

teachers in Jeffco. Currently, Jeffco teachers earn 19 percent less than surrounding districts pay. Paying a competitive wage to good teachers in Jeffco is essential for student achievement. Forty-two percent of the mill levy will go toward attracting and keeping great teachers. Another 41 percent will go directly to schools through studentbased-budgeting.

In community surveys and forums, Jeffco residents said this past year that they love and want to keep their small neighborhood schools, even though keeping small schools is more expensive. The district staff has worked very hard to come up with a plan that is an efficient and effective use of our tax dollars, while keeping small schools open. The bond will pay for new schools in areas with rapid new development. Children in these neighborhoods cannot wait

Gratitude for gluten article Thank you for the excellent article on gluten-free foods and bakeries. I wish you

had included Rheinlander Bakery in Arvada, along with the locations farther from Golden. Because the owner has celiac disease, the bakery has an entire display case of gluten-free bakery goods and they will make a gluten-free birthday cake, which is outstanding. My own experience is that gluten tends to cause inflammation and mucous production in my body. Keeping gluten-free has improved my health with reduced asthma symptoms.

20 years to pay for these new schools out of small incremental savings in the operating budget. They need schools now. And better yet, charter schools in Jeffco will get a proportionate share, or 10 percent of both 3A and 3B money. Every child in Jeffco will benefit. The cost? A mere $4.12 for every $100,000 assessment. That is a very small price to support our children and their education. Please vote yes on 3A and 3B. Margaret Lessenger, Golden

The 9/11 Stair Climb, held each year at the Red Rocks Amphitheater, draws firefighters, other first responders, and participants from across Colorado each year.

The event started in Denver when five firefighters pledged to climb 110 stories in full firefighting gear as a tribute to the 343 New York City firefighters who were killed in the line of duty at the World Trade Center. The event grew in scope, and in participation. In 2009 it moved to Red Rocks, where it continues to help pay tribute to the memory of those who lost their lives in 2001, and also to raise money for charity.

Last year, organizers say 1800 climbers helped raise $74,000 for the National Fallen Firefighters Stair Climb Program.

LIFE Cold-blooded critters make good pets, too LOCAL

Turtles are popular starter reptiles, and there are many varieties in size and habitat. Cage sizes and heating requirements vary, and people considering purchasing them should be aware of these requirements. Courtesy photo

But you have to understand what amphibians and reptiles need

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING AN EXOTIC PET

T

hey may look completely different, but a bearded dragon lizard reminds Dillon Lanigan of a dog.

“It’s a pretty amazing bond people form with their reptiles and amphibians,” said Lanigan, manager of the Northglenn Scales ‘N Tails. “Reptiles imprint on you — if you get them young enough — and the affection that can exist is almost doglike.”

Although it might surprise those with no experience, people who love exotic pets — like frogs, lizards, snakes and turtles — know these animals can make some of the most engaging pets for people of all ages.

“We have several customers who are past 70 years old and have had snakes for years,” Lanigan said. “We have all ages, and all walks of life, who come through our shop.”

Because pet shops that specialize in exotic animals aren’t as common as ones who cater to traditional furry friends, stores like Scales ‘N Tails, which also has locations in Lakewood and Englewood, Arvada’s Feeder Frenzy and Parker Exotic Pets become hubs for a culture.

On any given Saturday, novices walk into Feeder Frenzy with questions about their first pet as experienced reptile owners pick up their weekly food supply. And then there’s the regular customers who stop by to visit. Perhaps they want to talk about how their pet is doing, see the new arrivals or hear what co-owners Jack Nelson and Dave Meidinger are working on.

“We take an old-school approach to our shop, almost like a barbershop,” Meidinger said. “We want to ensure people are comfortable here and not afraid to ask questions.”

There are plenty of misconceptions about amphibians and reptiles, and education is one of these shops’ best services to their customers, the owners said. Lanigan, Meidinger and Nelson all have extensive experience and gladly share their expertise.

“Between the two of us, we’ve dealt with all kinds of species,” Nel-

Cost: Glass tanks and enclosures can be expensive, and many of these animals require lighting and heating that will add to electricity bills. Feeding and veterinary costs must also be considered.

Size: Get a clear sense of how big the animal will grow.

Larger animals require more space and higher feeding costs.

Care: Everyone in the household should be on board with taking care of the animal. If one party loses interest, others must step up to ensure the animal is healthy and happy.

A black and white Argentine tegu takes a whiff with its tongue at Parker Exotic Pets in Parker on Sept. 8. The store’s owner, Jennifer Nystrom, says reptile owners often own dogs or cats as well and just want to add “something a little different” to their lives. Photo by Tom Skelley son said, referring to Meidinger. “We also work very closely with Homeward Bound Veterinary hospital, so if people have sick animals, they can help.”

Before any animal is brought into Parker Exotic Pets, owner Jennifer Nystrom and manager Hanna Stroh do a lot of research to make sure they fully understand how to care for the animals and can share that information with customers.

“It’s important to us we know how to provide excellent care,” Stroh said.

“We’re doing research all the time to stay up on the latest information.”

Since most amphibians and reptiles require glass tanks, heating lamps and specific foods, Scales ‘N Tails and Feeder Frenzy are cautious about to whom they sell their animals.

“Things like increases in electrical bills and feed costs add up quite quickly,” Lanigan said. “Certain animals are just not for everybody, and people need to be smart about deciding if they should own these kinds of pets.”

Pets continues on Page 13

Other pets: It’s important to consider how a new pet will affect any pets currently in a household. For example, if a house already has birds or other small animals, it may not be a good environment for a snake or large lizard.

Bearded dragons make a great starter lizard, said Dillon Lanigan, manager of Northglenn’s Scales ‘n’ Tails pet shop. He describes them as doglike in their affection. Courtesy photo

September 15, 2016

Writing about music and lessons learned With my recent vacation and trying to regain my work rhythm upon my return, the anniversary of this column quietly sailed by on Sept. 3.

Looking back on my first year as Colorado Community Media’s music columnist, here are a few figures I noted: I’ve written 27 columns, received a dozen fantastic recommendations from readers, curated eight different lists, and received only one mildly threatening letter.

Not bad for a year’s work.

Sharing my thoughts on music and the subtle and overwhelming ways it touches our lives has been an extraordinarily edifying experience. In honor of this occasion, I’d like to share some lessons I’ve learned.

The first, and most repeated lesson, is the different ways music can be interpreted, affecting the listener based on his or her life experiences.

In a piece I wrote about music helping with the grieving process, I mentioned artists like James Taylor and Simon and Garfunkel as being immensely comforting during hard times. But I heard from several readers who said they grew up with those musicians’ work, and found them to be joyous music for happy

Pets Continued from Page 12

The Foothills Animal Shelter often becomes the home for these pets, after they’ve been surrendered by their owners.

“We get pets from people who just weren’t ready for whatever the animal needs to thrive,” said Jessi Burns, marketing and communications manager with the shelter.

“We’ve been trying to get the word out more about our ‘critter corner’ area, and the animals in need of a home there.”

One of the best ways to ensure a household is ready for an exotic pet is to do a lot of research, Burns said, and to talk to people who have experience keeping these animals as pets.

“Make sure everyone in the house is on board with taking care of the animal,” she said. “So often children get these animals, but

times, too.

So much of art depends on the listener, and as a critic and consumer it can be easy to forget that. Thankfully, I have readers who aren’t afraid to share their musical stories.

Another lesClarke Reader son I’ve learned is LINER “the classics” are called that for a NOTES reason — they still have a strong pull on people of all ages. Some of the columns I received the most feedback from, not just from older residents but people in my age group of 30-somethings, touched on the continued impact of classic artists and genres.

In my first column I asked readers to share their favorite song of the summer. The bulk of the results fell into the classic rock and pop arenas — songs like Sly Stone’s “Hot Fun in the Summertime” and “Summer Nights” from “Grease” were popular choices. Even my favorite sum-

when they lose interest, the parents don’t want to take care of the pet either.”

There are so many varieties of reptiles and amphibians, and that’s one of the things that makes them such great pets, Stroh said.

“It’s so exciting to see all the different personalities these animals have, even within the same species,” she said. “ Depending on how much time you want to spend on the animal, there are a lot of options.”

Reptiles and amphibians can be great pets for children, if taught properly, Burns said. A key lesson is how to be responsible and care for another living thing, a sentiment borne out by the experiences of those at Scales ‘N Tails and Feeder Frenzy.

“I love helping people get their first animal, and setting them up to be healthy,” Nelson said. “My favorite part is when they come back with a healthy, grown animal that is doing well.”

mer song is “Night Move” by Bob Seger.

One of the most interesting lessons I learned is that while music may ease conversation of social issues and changes, that doesn’t mean discussion of said issues or topics will go smoother.

In this column I’ve written twice about the ways music can impact politics and political discourse, about supporting women who are victims of abuse and the important music coming out of the Black Lives Matter movement.

I hoped using music as an entryway to these topics — a bridge to potential divides by using a shared language and art — would make reaching out easier.

There was certainly some of that in the past year, but we can all try harder to have open dialogue about issues that make us uncomfortable.

Those are just some of the key lessons I’ve taken away from this first year, and I’m eager to engage with more of you about why you love music. Thanks for sticking with me on this ride. Now go press play on something great.

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Local Native’s “Sunlit Youth,” released on Loma Vista Recordings.

Review: Airy and magisterial, Local Native’s third album blends classic rock harmonizing with driving drums and quicksilver guitar work. The album makes for fantastic autumnal driving music, sounds great through headphones on a night alone, and even has some sing along moments. An album for all seasons.

Favorite song: “Ellie Alice” Best summation of millennials in a single line: “Save me from the prime of my life.”

to Colorado, said its executive director Lauren Poole. It is based in Jefferson County — the office borders Lakewood and Golden.

The expo took place, in partnership with the City of Golden’s Sustainability Division, to raise awareness of energy efficiency among consumers, Poole said.

“A lot of people aren’t aware that there’s more than renewable energy,” she said.

“You make your house energy efficient

first, then you add renewable energy. It’s cheaper that way.”

Also making a stop in Golden for the expo was Corbett Lunsford and the Tiny Lab on his national The Proof is Possible Tour. Lunsford and his family — wife, baby and two cats — are touring the U.S. in their 210-square-foot home-on-wheels, aka the Tiny Lab, to teach people about quality home improvement techniques.

The tour also promotes Lunsford’s company, Building Performance Workshop, which specializes in building forensics to help clients understand home performance.

Although the Tiny Lab is very energy

efficient and happens to be a tiny house that the family lives in full time, Lunsford said, the tour is not about those aspects.

It’s about educating folks on a home’s performance, he said. Everything installed in the Tiny Lab was tested, diagnosed and measured to make sure it performed as the best available, Lunsford said.

“I’m not out here to tell people to live in a tiny house,” he said. “I’m here to teach people that if they’re going to build a house, build it right.”

Theresa Worsham, the City of Golden’s sustainability manager, believes communities will be seeing more of these types of energy efficient, best-performance homes

and tiny houses in the near future.

“It’s a hot topic these days,” she said.

“When there are educational opportunities, we want to support it. The more information we can get out there, the better for the community.”

Although the city receives a lot of inquiries about tiny homes and the municipality’s regulations for them, Worsham said, one sustainability goal is to encourage energy efficiency in not only new homes being built, but existing structures as well.

It’s all about leading an environmentally conscious lifestyle, Worsham said.

“Golden is trying to provide information about this.”

New restaurant and bar serves up Golden mining history Wine selection and homemade sweets on the menu

scratch.

Back in the days of the Gold Rush, Golden was primarily a supply point for miners and prospectors heading into the Colorado mountains in search of gold.

With that Golden history in mind, Aimee and Dean Valdez came up with the theme for a new dining and beverage establishment that opened on July 28 called Miners Saloon, located in historic downtown Golden on Miners Alley.

“We designed it ourselves to fit with the style and character of the City of Golden,” Aimee Valdez said. “We wanted to play around with the idea of a modern version of an 1800s saloon.”

A step back in time Aimee Valdez believes people like the unique atmosphere.

They “enjoy the vision the space has lent itself to,” she said.

Inside, guests are surrounded by artwork featuring Colorado landscapes, historic photos of famous Coloradans, Victorian parlor furniture, and mining artifacts such a pick ax, mining pans and lanterns are scattered around the establishment.

A canary wearing a hard hat was chosen as the logo because of the connection the birds had with miners, Aimee Valdez said.

Canaries used to accompany miners into a mine shaft to help them detect toxic gasses, she said. This often helped save their lives.

“If your canary died,” Aimee Valdez said, “you knew you had to get out fast.”

A focus on craft beverage and good food Miners Saloon offers a full service bar and features 24 draft lines — 20 of them are beer and the others are a house margarita, alcoholic cider, huckleberry vodka lemonade and a nonalcoholic iced coffee.

The wine shaft has about 300 bottles of wine in stock.

“There’s a big Colorado focus on product,” said Noah Heaney, partner and restaurant manager who also tends bar.

Most of the beer comes from Colorado, and the kitchen uses a lot of local food sources, Heaney said.

From the kitchen come homemade sauces and dips, bread, sausage and ricotta cheese. To satisfy a sweet tooth, the ice cream is also made from

Local place, local people The Valdezes are proud Golden residents, Aimee Valdez said, and involved local talent in establishing the restaurant. Artist Jesse Crock painted the mural in the hallway near the restrooms, Goldenite Jeff Connell was hired as the general contractor and Nathan Richie, director of the Golden History Museums, was brought in to help train the staff on local mining history.

With a combined total of about 40 years with Coors, Aimee and Dean Valdez have “been in the beer business almost all of our lives,” Aimee Valdez said.

“We thought (the restaurant industry) would be a fun and interesting business to get into,” she said. Miners Saloon is intended “to be a gathering place for friends.”

Undersheriff Ray Fleer listens as School Resource Officer Deputy Dee Patterson gives him a heartfelt goodbye at his retirement celebration Sept. 1. Fleer is one of those people who is always there, Patterson said. “He was always available, and his door was always open,” she said. Photo by Christy Steadman

A star in the operations role Undersheriff Ray Fleer retires after 37 years with Jeffco sheriff’s office

By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jefferson County Undersheriff Ray Fleer imagines he will probably play an occasional round of golf with his colleagues at the sheriff’s office during his retirement.

But golf is not one of the pastimes he’ll give high priority. He enjoys the social aspect of the game, but he admittedly is not very good at it.

“I’d rather go fishing,” Fleer said.

Fleer, 63, retired Sept. 1 after 37 years with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

Before that, he spent about five years as a patrol officer with the Gunnison Police Department during college.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Western State, but he always wanted to be a police officer. Fleer envisioned an exciting career that gave him an opportunity to be involved in the community.

And exciting it was, he said. “No two days were alike.”

The undersheriff — which Fleer considers to be the best seat in the house — manages the operations of the sheriff’s office. In Jeffco, that includes four divisions: detentions/jail; support services, which is everything from dispatch to IT to recruiting; patrol; and investigations.

“This role is responsible for making sure people are well-trained, prepared to do their job and that we have the right people in the right position,” Fleer said.

Ted Mink, former Jeffco sheriff who now works with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, appointed Fleer as undersheriff in 2003, after Fleer had been chief for a couple of different divisions.

“It was a great 12 years we had together,” Mink said, adding that Fleer had the respect of everyone in the sheriff’s office — and the people of Jefferson County.

And he has a great sense of humor, Mink said. “You have to have that in this job.”

Sheriff Jeff Shrader is appointing Division Chief Patsy Mundell as his new undersheriff. Mundell joined the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in 1986 and has been a division chief since 2002.

Through the years, Mundell has worked in every division of the sheriff’s office and, she said, learned something new from every one of them.

“Throughout my career, (Fleer) was my supervisor,” Mundell said. “He’s an excellent mentor, very compassionate. I never felt I was working for him, always with him.”

At Fleer’s retirement celebration, Shrader presented Fleer with a sheriff’s star — a special recognition rarely awarded, and then only at the discretion of the sheriff, Shrader said.

Fleer “has been instrumental in leading the sheriff’s office in an operational role, through tough times and in preparation for the future,” Shrader said. “We’re going to miss him deeply.”

In Fleer’s opinion, it was he who had the privilege of working with two sheriffs with distinctly different styles. He enjoyed all his colleagues and said he will miss most the people with whom he worked alongside.

“You form so many relationships with incredible people,” he said. “Even with 825 employees, it still retains somewhat of a family feel.”

Among the changes Fleer has seen over the years, one of the best is the advanced training law enforcement now receives — a benefit to the community and deputies — to address increasing challenges that include mental health issues on patrol and in detention.

When Fleer started in law enforcement, there was only a five-week training academy. Now, officers spend 22 weeks in the academy, followed by an additional 16 weeks of field training.

“The job has gotten so complex,” he said.

Now, he’s anticipating simpler days.

Fleer has been married to his wife Ellen, an attendant secretary at a local elementary school, for 44 years. She plans on finishing up this school year before she retires.

The Fleers raised one son, Jason, 40, who has two children — a 13-year-old and a 16-year-old — who are involved in high school sports. Fleer is looking forward to more fishing trips with his son and attending his grandchildren’s swim meets and cheerleading events.

And Fleer and his wife will continue to live in south Jefferson County.

“It is,” he said, “kind of the center of our life right now.”

Lots to consider for September activities If you participate in any kind of social media you know what TBT means. That’s short for Throw Back Thursday. It’s where people post old pictures of themselves or bits of information from days in the past.

Well, today I’m going to do a bit of a TBT Avenue Flashes column. Not old news, but a format from the days before I started writing it. I started focusing in greater detail on one or two events every week. But in days gone by, this column used to be short tidbits about the week’s happenings. So, in the spirit of TBT, here’s what’s going on this weekend.

Your pet project The Foothills Animal Shelter will be hosting Toby’s Pet parade and Fair this coming Saturday, Sept. 17 from 9 a.m. to noon. It’s a fundraising event where you can enter your pet in a costume parade and contest, and check out fly-ball and agility demos as well as participate in fun games and activities with your family, including the most important family members, your pets. Prizes will be awarded. There

will also be face painting and caricatures for the kids as well as mimosas and Bloody Mary’s available for the young at heart.

If you want to strut your mutts in the pet parade to show off their favorite costume John Akal you can register for $20 which goes toAVENUE wards maintaining the FLASHES shelter. The Foothills Animal Shelter is located at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, 15200 W. 6th Avenue Frontage Road in Golden. For more information call (303) 278-7575 or visit www.foothillsanimalshelter.org/tobys-parade.

Vintage variety The Old House Vintage market will also

be happening in Parfet Park this Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday, Sept. 17 and features an upscale, yet affordable collection of vendors selling antiques, vintage clothing, collectables and up cycled items as well as a select number of artists featuring jewelry and other items with a vintage theme. It’s free to attend and browse around.

Parfet Park is on the corner of 10th Street and Washington Ave. For more information check out their website at www.oldhousevintagemarket.com.

It’s September… …so that means it’s time for Oktoberfest.

The Golden version of this great German tradition will be happening at the Denver Kickers Sports Club located at 16776 W. 50th Avenue in Golden this Saturday, Sept. 17, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with music by Rick Borger and the Average German bad as well as performances by the Shuhplatters German dance group. They will also be serving beer and authentic food.

Tickets run $7 for adults, $2 for kids 12 and

under and $4 for club members. More info can be found at www.denverkickers.com.

Ride, Sally ride The Golden Giddyup Mountain Bike Festival will be centered at Lions Park here in Golden on both Saturday and Sunday, Sept.

17 and 18 that will feature a day of riding the Open Space Trails, plus other activities including a Colorado-Only beer, food and gear festival. It’s free to attend and commemorates over 600 hours of volunteer trail maintenance this year. There will be both rides and races.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL AGGRIEVED PERSONS On August 8, 2016, the United States District Court for District of Colorado entered a Consent Order resolving a lawsuit brought by the United States against Roger P. Loecher, Eileen F. Loecher, and Miriam Yehudah, concerning alleged housing discrimination at Westland Apartments (“Westland”), located at 9905 W. 21st Ave., Lakewood, CO 80215. The lawsuit alleged that the owners and manager of Westland violated the Fair Housing Act by treating individuals with children living with them who visit the complex and inquire about renting apartments, and individuals with children who live in the complex, less favorably than individuals who do not have children living with them. The Consent Order requires, among other things, that the Defendants provide accurate information about all available apartments at Westland without regard to familial status and make such apartments available to any eligible renter as required by the Fair Housing Act. The Consent Decree also establishes a Settlement Fund to make payments to compensate persons who are victims of this type of alleged discrimination. You may be entitled to a monetary award from the Settlement Fund if you (1) are an individual with children; (2) sought to live at Westland Apartments; and (3) were denied the opportunity to live at Westland Apartments and/or steered to the back building of the property.

If you believe you may be a victim based on the above criteria, or if you have information about someone else whom you believe may qualify, please contact the United States Department of Justice, no later than December 06, 2016, at: 1-800-896-7743 and select menu option 92. You may also send an e-mail to fairhousing@usdoj.gov or write to: United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Housing and Civil Enforcement Section 1800 G Street, N.W., Suite 7002 Washington, D.C. 20006 Attn: DJ# 175-13-155 Your telephone message or letter must include your name, address, and, if possible, your e-mail address and at least TWO telephone numbers where you may be reached.

What is your favorite movie? Why? My favorite movie is Now You See Me because of the way magic adds fun and unpredictable twists to the movie. I love the mix of action and comedy in a plot that always has me interested.

What is your favorite pre-competition meal?

I always love to eat spaghetti before a game or match because its a comforting, delicious, and good food to eat before a game.

Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete?

My favorite college athlete would have to be soccer player Mallory Pugh because she is an amazing player, especially at such a young age. She is also from my soccer club so that empowers a certain pride I attach to her. She is a huge inspiration of mine.

LAKEWOOD — The left post was a friend to Silver Creek junior Conner Peskin Thursday, Sept. 8, at Lakewood Memorial Field.

Peskin scored the lone goal with just more than a minute left in the first half in a non-league boys soccer game against Golden. The junior’s shot hit the far post and into the back of the net in the Raptors’ 1-0 victory.

“That’s my second or third goal this season just like that,” Peskin said of the hard shot on the ground toward the far post.

Senior Josh Eher picked up the assist on the goal for Silver Creek (4-1 record).

The Raptors could have had a 4-0 or 3-0 lead at halftime if not for a couple of brilliant saves by Golden junior goalie Mats Moreau and a save on the goal line by Golden senior captain Zack Persky.

Soccer continues on Page 24

Why do you participate in sports?

I participate in sports for the passion and emotions that come with every practice, win, and loss. I play for the certain feeling when you never want the practice or game to end. I play for the feeling where I crave to play this sport forever. In addition, is the feeling of success after you’ve worked so hard for it. When its hot and your exhausted but you know you’ve given it all you’ve got, is an amazing feeling.

Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals?

If I am in an important tournament, I usually find myself superstitiously always wearing the same socks.

What are your plans for after high school graduation?

After high school graduation I have plans of making it into a D1 school where I can pursue a career in the medical field, perhaps Sports Medicine or a bone doctor.

Mick McCall has a message for Broncos fans who might still have concerns about the learning curve that quarterback Trevor Siemian is facing.

Siemian made his first National Football League start in the Thursday night game Sept. 8 and helped the Broncos beat Carolina, 21-20, in a Super Bowl rematch

in Denver.

McCall, the former Douglas County High athlete and Huskies and Mullen football coach, is the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks mentor at Northwestern, where he tutored Siemian.

He says there was nothing surprising about Siemian’s first-game performance and he echoed the Broncos players’ praise of their quarterback’s composure and athletic ability.

“I keep telling everybody he is a real level guy and he never gets too high or gets too low,” McCall said. “He connects with everybody, whether it’s the offensive line, the defensive line, DBs or wide receivers.

“As a football player, he’s always had a live arm and really studies the game hard.

He just takes things as they come... He doesn’t get rattled.”

Siemian, who was the Broncos’ third quarterback last season but only took one kneel-down snap in a regular-season game, completed 18 of 26 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown, and he showed the ability to rush for first downs. But he threw two interceptions. Denver fans booed several times when the offense left the field.

“He’s not going to let one mistake or a bump in the road hurt him,” McCall said.

“He’s going to keep playing and do what he can do. We always talked about this — worry about things you can control and take care of those things. Things out of your control you just have to get up and find a way the next time.”

Siemian has the ability to anticipate and throw to receivers before they break away from defenders, which is sometimes hard for new NFL starters to master.

“He’s always done that,” McCall said.

“We always talked about throwing people open, rather than waiting for them to get open. He’ll anticipate a little bit and trust his guys. He has great confidence with his receivers and everybody up front.”

Siemian was part of a two-quarterback system at Northwestern with former Cherry Creek standout Kain Colter.

“It was all about the team,” McCall said. “No matter what happens with the decision to start (in Denver), Trevor is always going to be a team guy.”

New boys lacrosse coaches John Gallant, who played 14 seasons for the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League, has been hired as the boys lacrosse coach at Rock Canyon, Jaguars’ Athletic Director Tom Brieske said.

Gallant retired as a player in 2015 and has spent the past two seasons as an assistant boys lacrosse coach at Valor Christian. He replaces Louis Goldin, who resigned as the Jaguars’ head coach.

Golden Athletic Director JC Summers said Mike Thumin is returning to Golden to take over from Kurt Ohlen as boys lacrosse coach.

Fourth-quarter rally pushes No. 4 D’Evelyn over Green Mountain

By Dennis Pleuss Jeffco Public Schools LAKEWOOD — It was unconventional, but D’Evelyn’s football coach Jeremy Bennett had no problem walking off Trailblazer Stadium late Friday night with a 16-15 victory.

“We’ll take it. It’s different, but I’ll take it,” Bennett said after his Jaguars, No. 4 in the CHSAANow.com Class 2A rankings, rallied with 10 points in the final 7 minutes, 20 seconds to defeat 3A’s Green Mountain by a single point.

D’Evelyn had a come-from-behind victory last week again Sterling. This time around the Jaguars (2-0) didn’t even need an offensive touchdown in the final quarter to rally from being down 15-6 with less than nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

Green Mountain (1-1) took a 9-point lead when senior quarterback Dylan Jacob hooked up with senior Justin Booher for a 5-yard touchdown pass with 8:58 left in the fourth quarter. Senior Ben Schlieper bullied his way into the end zone for the 2-point conversion.

“Green Mountain did a great job today.

That’s a much improved team. (Green Mountain coach) Matt Pees is doing a great job,” Bennett said. “I knew it was going to be a battle.”

D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School and Green Mountain High School are separated by less than six miles. However, Friday’s showdown was the first varsity football game between the two Jeffco schools.

Fittingly, there was plenty of drama in the final quarter.

D’Evelyn’s rally started with a great punt by D’Evelyn sophomore Noah Miles that pinned Green Mountain back on its own 3-yard line with 7:26 left to play.

On the next play, Green Mountain junior Cade Casterline wasn’t able to get a clean handle on a pitch and fumbled it into the end zone. D’Evelyn junior Jack Vannice recovered the ball in the end zone for a Jaguar touchdown.

“It was awesome. Being able to get a

Photo by Dennis Pleuss/Jeffco Public Schools touchdown was amazing. I just saw it on the ground and went straight to it,” Vannice said. “We were hoping for a safety of course, but what happened was even better.”

The defensive touchdown and extra point cut the Rams’ lead to 15-13. Green Mountain went 3-and-out on its next offensive possession. D’Evelyn took over on the 50-yard line with 6:11 remaining.

Back-to-back runs of 29 and 16 yards

by D’Evelyn sophomore Luca McIntyre put the Jaguars into field goal range. Junior Cullen Flynn split the uprights from 21 yards out with 3:45 left to give D’Evelyn its first lead of the night and send the Jaguars’ homecoming crowd home happy.

“It’s something we practice every day,”

said Flynn of the eventual game-winning field goal. “Good snap, good hold and I do the easy part. I just knew I had to drive my foot through it.”

Green Mountain wasn’t able to get a first down to answer D’Evelyn’s go-ahead score. Vannice was in on a sack of Jacob that turned the ball over on downs and allowed the Jaguars to run out the clock.

“It did slip away,” Pees said. “We knew D’Evelyn was a well-coached team and they would fight to the end. We were trying to do what we could to close it out. It’s a tough one to swallow, but we are ready to move on to Golden.”

Green Mountain plays its homecoming game next week against another Jeffco school, Golden (1-1). The Rams and

Demons will kick off at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16, at Jeffco Stadium.

“All our dreams are still ahead of us,” Pees said. “We can still win a conference championship and that is what our ultimate goal is. This is a great learning experience.”

D’Evelyn hits the road for the first time this season. The Jaguars should get a good test from The Classical Academy, ranked No. 5 in this week’s 2A football rankings.

Soccer Continued from Page 22

Silver Creek controlled the majority of possession in the first half and took advantage by getting a handful on scoring opportunities.

“Starting this game we knew this field is nice and wide,” Peskin said. “We figured balls on the ground would be super effective on a field like this with the defense so spread out.”

Golden (2-2) did get better offensive pressure in the second half. The Demons’ best scoring chance came off a corner kick in the 44th minute. A header by freshman Ian Persky was just tipped over the crossbar by Silver Creek goalie Aidan Lantaff.

“Much better second half than first half, but still, not enough to get it done today,” Golden coach Luke Vanderglas said. “We didn’t make enough quality chances.

We just couldn’t connect passes and go side to side like we wanted to.”

A direct approach by Zack Persky nearly resulted in the equalizer in the final minute. Golden’s captain raced from his defensive position deep into Silver Creek’s defensive zone with less than a minute to play.

The last-ditch effort came up short when he lost control of the ball before getting off a shot. The ball rolled over the end line for a goal kick.

“I love doing that. It’s generally unexpected,” Zack Persky said of his run that started from midfield toward the Raptors’ goal. “When I get a gap I like to take it. I had just too much on that last touch.”

Vanderglas gave a lot of credit to Silver Creek on the Raptors’ defensive effort that resulted on the Demons’ first scoreless game of the season. Golden was averaging three goals per game coming into the non-league match.

Golden is trying to rebound after a 6-9 record last season, which included a 4-5 mark in the Class 4A Jeffco League. A positive the Demons were able to take into this season is the fact Golden forced eventual state champion Evergreen to overtime in the Demons’ season finale last season that ended in a 1-0 loss.

“You’ve got to have a short memory,” Vanderglas said.

The Demons were scheduled for a busy week with three games in five days. Golden will wrap up its packed week against Denver North at 4:15 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16, at All-City Stadium in Denver.

Thumin is leaving Dakota Ridge to return to Golden, where he coached for 11 seasons, 10 as head coach. He guided the Demons to five league titles.

Ohlen is departing to coach at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island.

Quite a rally If you want to chitchat about a wild softball game, talk to Horizon coach Gary Mares.

Ask him about the second game of the King of the Mountain tournament Sept. 3 against Rampart, which the Hawks won, 25-24, on an RBI by Megan BloodSmyth in the top of the seventh inning.

Horizon, coming off a loss against Smoky Hill in which the Hawks blew a three-run lead in the seventh inning, fell behind to Rampart 13-0 after the top of the first and 18-3 after three frames. The Hawks scored seven runs in the fourth and 13 in the fifth to grab a 23-21 lead. Rampart tied the game in the sixth, but Horizon rallied to win the game.

“They had every reason to give up,” Mares said.

“What great fortitude and character.”

Students fuel up to be healthier, stronger Jefferson County receives $40,000 in funds and sports equipment donations

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com A sea of Broncos blue and orange and exuberant cheering filled the gym recently at Allendale Elementary School: Students wore eyeblack strips and on the cue of “1-2-3” they shouted “Fuel up!” The count continued “4-5-6,” followed by the students’ loud “to play 60!”

The Arvada school was the location Sept. 7 of a community event combined two celebrations — the start of the NFL season and the kick off the 2016 Hometown Grant Program.

Developed in 2014 by the National Football League and Fuel Up to Play 60, the initiative provides grants to support physical activity and nutrition programs in school districts in all 32 NFL markets. This year, the National Foundation on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition joined the partnership, which to date has provided nearly $1 million to schools across the country.

On this day, the Jefferson County School District was awarded a $10,000 Hometown Grant and $30,000 in additional equipment and resources for its student programs and facilities.

“The partnership gave us some awesome donations for us to have quality equipment and more resources,” said Allendale Elementary Principal Rob Malling,

who hopes this will help his students be more active.

“We’re focused on academics, number one,” Malling said. “But we also know our kids need to be healthy and come to school ready to learn. We found at Allendale, a lot of are kids are sedentary.

They don’t do a lot. They don’t play a lot of sports. On the weekends, a lot of them aren’t allowed to leave their house, parents said. So, we decided we better do something at the school to get them excited.”

The Wednesday morning event featured former Broncos linebacker Karl Mecklenburg, Broncos cheerleaders, Broncos mascot Miles and a surprise appearance by former American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, also a singer, songwriter and

founder of M.A.D. Kids, a campaign that cultivates community advocacy and volunteerism among teens and young adults.

“For me, fitness was very personal,” Sparks told the students, adding that her father played for the New York Giants.

“I love to be outdoors, especially here in Colorado.”

Sparks performed for students, encouraging them to get on their feet and move around to the music. Students also stretched to the beat of Spark’s new song, “Zero to 60,” which she created with the President’s Council on Fitness.

Fuel Up to Play 60 is an in-school nutrition and physical activity program launched by the NFL and the National Dairy Council, which was founded by

 Claire Pauley, cross-county, junior, Arvada West: Pauley won the Stanley Lake Gator Invitational girls individual title Sept. 8 on the Stony Creek Golf Course with a time of 19:41.00.

Jack Vannice, football, junior, D’Evelyn: He recovered a fumbled punt in the end zone for a touchdown and also had a sack near the conclusion of the game in the Jaguars’ 16-15 win over Green Mountain on Sept. 9. Meranda Diaz, softball, junior, Arvada: She went 4-for-5 with a double and triple in the 17-6 victory over Englewood on Sept. 8.

Diaz scored twice, wound up with six RBI

and also stole two bases during the game. In 10 contests this season, she has 18 hits, 13 RBI and is hitting .581. Henrik Barndt, football, senior, Ralston Valley: He sparked the Mustangs’ defense in the 34-14 win over a Ferris team from Spokane, Wa. on Sept. 9 Barndt had 12 total tackles that included one sack. Gabby Loya, softball, senior, Wheat Ridge: The catcher went 3-for-3 with two

America’s dairy farmers, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The program is designed to engage and empower youth to take action for their own health by implementing long-term, positive changes for themselves and their schools.

“School districts across the country have implemented wellness programs — Fuel Up to Play 60 is a program that can help schools across the country implement those plans,” said Dottie Ryan, vice president of Fuel Up to Play 60. “It really is about empowering kids to be leaders in their school and find opportunity to increase access to health foods and activity.

The kids actually become change agents, which is a lot different than many other programs where it’s started or encouraged by adults.”

Ryan said the program is designed for adults and kids to work together. This is the first year Allendale is participating in the program.

At Allendale, a student wellness team has been created as part of the program.

The wellness team will be in the cafeteria every Friday and reward students for making healthy food choices — such as drinking milk instead of a soda.

The wellness team will also lead games on the playground like foursquare, soccer and basketball.

“This is huge,” Malling said of bringing Fuel Up to Play 60 to the school. “It reinforces everything we’ve been saying that they’ve got to be active, they’ve got to be healthy, they can’t just watch TV all day.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF SEPT. 12, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Mars, your ruling planet, helps you deal with career challenges in a way that reflects some of your own hidden strengths. This impresses some important decision-makers.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your strong Bovine will, combined with your romantic nature (you are ruled by Venus), helps turn a romance with a potential for problems into one with more-positive possibilities.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Mercury’s influence creates some unsettling moments, but nothing that you can’t live with. You’ll soon learn more about that major change that is about to be revealed.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Opportunities for you are like the phases of the Moon: constantly appearing and reappearing. So, cheer up. The opportunity you think you let slip by will be replaced by another.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) An opportunity that you hoped would open up for you remains closed.

Stop wasting time scratching at it. Something else you’ll like will soon make itself apparent and accessible.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. You’ll soon hear some positive feedback for all the hard work you recently put into a project.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A jobrelated plan might need to be reworked to allow for changes. Lucky for you that Saturn remains a strong influence that can help you focus on getting it done right.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good time to move into areas of selfdiscovery. You might be surprised about who you really are and how you really relate to those around you.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Expect to confront someone who will make an unwelcome request. Stand by your resolve to do the right thing no matter what “persuasion” might be offered.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A friendly competition could become more contentious than you expected. Take time out to discuss the reasons behind this unexpected change, and act accordingly.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You have a wonderful mind for solving mysteries, so you should feel confident about solving the one developing very close to you. An unlikely source offers help.

BORN THIS WEEK: You’re a great host or hostess. You love being with people, and you’re very good about planning all sorts of social events that bring folks together. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

This meeting is an initial step of a community engagement process around groundwater quality issues in the Indian Hills community.

Background: In 2015, the Board of Health contracted Dr. Margaret Herzog, a professional engineer with PH Associates, LLC in Lakewood, Colorado to develop a groundwater model of the Parmalee Gulch basin utilizing existing available data sources to evaluate the impact of existing and potential new septic systems to groundwater resources. The purpose of the modeling study was to integrate over 40 years of research in the Turkey Creek watershed and Parmalee Gulch sub-basin, conduct advanced geospatial analysis, and review multiple lines of evidence to determine if and how planned and potential development might increase nitrate pollution in groundwater which serves Indian Hills private wells and the Indian Hills Water District (IHWD) public wells.

In Parmalee Gulch, groundwater serves as the primary source of drinking water for many residents of Indian Hills, a residential community of approximately 1,200 people. Indian Hills is located just north of Colorado State Highway 285 and about 25 miles southwest of Denver, Colorado.

To protect the groundwater system, a prohibition of septic systems on certain lots in Indian Hills was instituted by the Board of Health in 1979 because of elevated nitrate pollution from septic systems in the groundwater. Using existing water quality and land use data sets along with simple modeling methods, the modeling project was designed to inform future public health decision-making processes related to groundwater quality for the Indian Hills community.

In August 2016, Jefferson County Public Health released the Indian Hills Groundwater Water Quality Modeling Project Report to the public and requested written feedback and comments.

Public Invited to Submit Written Comments The Indian Hills Groundwater Water Quality Modeling Project Report news release can be accessed at http://jeffco.us/publichealth/news/2016/indian-hills-groundwater-water-quality-modeling-project-reportreleased/. The public is invited to submit written comments to rlaws@jeffco.us or by mail to Roy Laws, Jefferson County Public Health, 645 Parfet St, Lakewood, CO 80125.

“I really enjoy having him,” Lee said.

“He’s really mellow and gets along with all the other donkeys.”

Blaster lives among a herd of other burros, many of them champion pack burro racers.

“Burros are an amazing part of Colorado history,” Lee said, noting that “pack burro racing is an old mining tradition.”

The first time such a race took place was in Fairplay in 1949, Lee said, and in 2012, the Colorado State Legislature passed a resolution that makes pack burro racing the state’s official summer heritage sport.

Blaster has done some pack burro racing, but because he is aging, he is about to head into retirement with his racing career, Lee said. He will now only be paired with a person who wants to participate in the race at a walking pace.

Another animal of notoriety that George shares West a space with is Jack Speedy Blaster Burro, the animal ambassador for the Epilepsy Foundation of Colorado. And along with other burros, Blaster has appeared in some live nativity scenes and visited various festivals to provide children’s rides or be in a petting zoo.
