Susan Arntson, assistant principal and iSTEM director at Bell Middle School presented city council with a report on iSTEM’s progress after its first year at Bell during the council’s Sept. 26 meeting. The report came just in time as municipalities move into the middle of their budget cycle. Last year, the city of Golden funded $5,000 to iSTEM at Bell. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math or iSTEM is an educational program providing alternative ways for students to learn math and sciences. The curriculum combines all academic components of a traditional curriculum like language arts and history and then pairs it with math and science concepts. “The kids are learning the same things but they are learning it in terms of a problem to solve so they have a need to learn those skills,” Arntson said. Students who may not be motivated in class, who struggle with math and science or just have an interest in the sciences can participate in iSTEM. In the first year of Bell’s iSTEM program, students won regional competitions for their projects, and went to nationals. Student projects included Aquaponics, SeaPerch; an underwater remotely operated ve-

hicle for which two teams won first and third place in the state, and LEGO Robotics. iSTEM at Bell recruited 60 kids, and will branch out to both grade levels for the 2013-2014 school year with 60 kids in each level. Arntson is working to expand the number of kids who can participate, but funding is needed to support staff. “Growing the program takes more funding to hire more staff,” she said. Currently there is no data to show how iSTEM has improved student understanding in math and sciences at Bell, but Arntson is working to collect those numbers. Some rough and raw data Arntson shared with council included a peaked interest in girls in the program, a 90 percent positive response from students, an a lot more parent engagement. “We’re on a great track in terms of student achievement,” Arntson said to city council. This year, Arntson will work to address challenges facing iSTEM which is to improve the curriculum that is more supportive to students struggling with math while still making it a program that is beneficial and of interest to the student. An iSTEM elective for one semester will be added for Mitchell Elementary sixth grade kids coming into Bell. The elective will touch on engineering concepts that could spark a deeper interest in iSTEM’s program. “This money has obviously been well used,” Bill Fisher, councilor for Ward 4 said. “I’m impressed.” For more information on iSTEM at Bell search iSTEM@Bell Middle School online in your browser’s search engine.

Jeffco deputies sue for alleged unpaid wages County attorney files a motion to dismiss case By Amy Woodward

awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com At least 10 deputies from the Jeffco Sheriff’s office have filed a complaint in federal district court against Sheriff Ted Mink and the Board of County Commissioners. The county attorneys have filed a motion to dismiss the case in response. The deputies’ complaint was filed in December 2012. They claim that under the Fair Labor Standards Act, they are entitled POSTAL ADDRESS

to unpaid wages from the county for overtime work. The Fair Labor Standards Act passed by Congress in 1938 set the standards and regulations of operations between employer and worker including minimum wage, overtime compensation and other additional provisions. State law dictates the sheriff is responsible for setting salaries and wages for employees subject to the approval of the BCC according to state statute. According to the complaint, the sheriff allegedly published set salaries and wages in a posted document titled “Salary Schedule.” Plaintiffs argue the salaries listed on the

schedules posted for the years 2010, 2011, and 2012 are not the amount they received for those years. Attorneys for the plaintiffs argue that both the salary schedule, and the policy and procedures manual constituted a promise made by the county to the plaintiffs. In a brief interview with Sheriff Ted Mink he stated the “Salary Schedule” was not a document reflecting promised salary rates, but an internal document based on the results of a countywide salary survey conducted by a consulting firm hired by the BCC. The results were used as a basis for what their step-in-grade program should be, and was never publicly posted or pub-

lished by Sheriff Mink. “It was only a recommendation that we put together internally,” Sheriff Mink said and those recommendations were never funded by the BCC. Pat Gilbert, county attorney, argues in the latest motion that “any alleged promises to pay is unenforceable because the BCC did not approve the salary schedule as required,” and that plaintiffs have not provided sufficient facts to show their rates of pay were the salary scheduled rates. “We don’t believe they stated a federal claim for an overtime violation,” Gilbert said. Counsel for the plaintiff’s did not comment by press time.

Getting disconnected is new comfort zone I’m off to Nepal this fall to trek, immerse in the Nepali culture, and wash elephants in the river on Chitwan National Preserve. As you might imagine, my partner on this adventure, Jackie, and I have been doing a lot of training. We’ve climbed stairs at Red Rocks and on the Manitou Incline, but mostly we’ve been hiking at about 12,000 feet. Jackie follows a routine of letting people, usually her husband, know where we are at all times. She says her comfort zone is the security of knowing that someone else knows, a habit born from years of solo business travel around the world. Or maybe, she says, her need for connection comes from watching too many movies about people lost in the wild or losing limbs in an accident. Whatever the reason, during our training hikes this summer, Jackie texts her husband a note about where we’re

going. She doesn’t bother with details, just something like “hiking up off Loveland Pass,” anticipating this information will be helpful if we fail to show up later. We’ve never felt isolated though. The trails we choose are well traveled, almost to the point of congestion, and fellow hikers we’ve encountered have been friendly and engaging. In fact, on a day when I was having a hard time with heat and dehydration, I sent Jackie on ahead to the lakes where I would meet her for lunch. I asked

another group of hikers on the trail to let her know that I was okay and on my way. They agreed and one even offered to stay with me on my way up. I did make it on my own, but that’s the kind of experience we’ve had. When we arrived at the trailhead off Guanella Pass last weekend, though, we had no cell service. Jackie was concerned: If something happened, we couldn’t call for help (never mind the 20 cars already parked at the trailhead). She continued to feel out of touch until we were driving back on I-70 and her phone beeped when we were in range again. That’s why Jackie and I have differing opinions about how much technology to take to Nepal. I’ve already decided to turn off on our Annapurna trek and enjoy being disconnected from the civilization I know here at home. Jackie, on the other hand, is looking for ways to get power on the trail. Being con-

nected is her comfort zone. For me, trekking in Nepal is all about getting out of my comfort zone. Or perhaps it’s more about finding another zone in which to be comfortable. I want to immerse in Nepali culture, to enjoy the experience of being disconnected from my life here — to the extent that I can with techo-fabric trekking clothes and water purifiers. I want to meet interesting people who are as kind and generous as those here in Colorado. And, from everything I’ve heard, I will. Lately, though, Jackie’s been considering my perspective, and I’m hoping she ultimately turns off too, for both our sakes. I’ll let you know what she decides … right after we get back, and I reconnect with the world.

Ballot issues up for debate Amendment 66 and Proposition AA topics at forum By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Wheat Ridge residents recently heard both sides of the arguments behind two significant November ballot questions; each one aimed at providing more money for Colorado schools, with one measure affecting state taxpayers more than the other. An Oct. 2 City Hall forum featured speakers both in support and in opposition of Amendment 66 and Proposition AA, two separate tax proposals tied to major pieces of legislation. Amendment 66 seeks to overhaul the state’s school finance system, through an annual $950 million income tax hike on all Colorado taxpayers. The money would fund full-day kindergarten, preschool for at-risk youth, and would provide more resources for English language learners, special needs children and those who are involved in gifted and talented programs. The funding pumps more money into Colorado schools statewide and aims to fill holes that have been caused by budget cutbacks over the years. The money would support the implementation of Senate Bill 213, the Future School Finance Act, which was passed by the Democrat-majority Legislature and signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper earlier this year. The legislation did not receive a single Republican vote. Lauren Arnold, an Amendment 66 backer and “Jeffco mom,” told the audience that Jefferson County Public Schools has lost $1 billion in education funding over the last 10 years and that many other state school districts operate on a four-day-a-week schedule, because they cannot afford five day school weeks. “Every kid, regardless of where they grew up in Colorado … deserves a good education,” Arnold said. “They deserve a chance to succeed.” The money to fund Amendment 66 would come from a two-tiered tax hike that would affect all Colorado taxpayers. It rais-

Those who earn over that amount would pay 5 percent on the first $75,000 in taxable income and 5.9 percent on taxable income above $75,000. Colorado’s current income tax rate is a flat 4.63 percent, regardless of income level. Arnold said that the tax hike would be well-worth the money because the more students are educated now, they less likely they are to get into trouble later. “When we invest in education we actually save money down the line,” she said. “We save the money on policing, prisons and social services.” But opponents like Jon Keyser think the tax hike would unnecessarily burden Coloradans, blasting the measure as “the largest tax increase in Colorado history.” “Amendment 66 promises education reform, but throwing money at the problem just won’t work,” he said. Keyser — who is running for the state House District 25 seat next year, one that is currently being held by Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen — said that Jeffco tax payers would not get the kind of return on investment as other school districts if Amendment 66 passes. He said that the district

NEWS IN A HURRY Book Signing with Janet Dawson

The Colorado Railroad Museum will be hosting a booking signing with Janet Dawson, mystery novelist and author of “Death Rides the Zephyr” on Saturday, Oct. 12 at 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Dawson has written previous books such as “What You Wish For” and the Jeri Howard series,

which earned a nomination in 2012 for Left Coast Crime’s Golden Nugget Award for Bit Player. The event is free, with copies of Dawson’s latest book available at the Colorado Railroad Museum’s gift shop. For more information contact Kathy McCardwell at Kathy@crrm.org.

would only get back about 56 cents for every dollar that Jeffco taxpayers pay into the new school finance formula. “That’s more of a shell game,” he said. “That’s a gamble at best.”

Proposition AA

Arguments were also made for and against a tax measure that would fund regulation of the newly-created retail marijuana industry, one that was made legal through passage of last year’s Amendment 64.

Proposition AA asks voters to approve a 15 percent excise tax and a 10 percent retail tax on marijuana sales. Revenue from the excise tax will go toward public school construction, while the money collected from the retail tax will back the regulations that were enacted by the Legislature. The 25 percent state tax does not include whatever local taxes might be imposed by individual municipalities. The tax structure was put in place by the Legislature earlier this year and it received bipartisan support. The regulations were signed into law by Hickenlooper, but voters still must approve the taxes, which will only affect persons who purchase marijuana. “If you don’t use marijuana, you don’t pay this tax,” said Joe Megyesy of the Yes on Proposition AA campaign. Megyesy said that advocates of the new marijuana industry worked with state lawmakers this year to ensure that the proposed tax structure does enough to regulate pot sales, while also making sure that users don’t seek cheaper alternatives through the black market. “We felt we got this tax down to a level that will still allow a legit marijuana industry to emerge in Colorado,” he said. But Miguel P. Lopez said that’s not going to happen. The Wheat Ridge native and Proposition AA opponent told forum-goers that the “onerous” regulations will only benefit criminals who sell the drug illegally, and would “push kids to buy it someplace else, where it’s cheaper.” “The taxes are absolutely just too high for the state to talk about overregulation,” Lopez said.

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Jefferson County school board candidates made their pitches to voters at a Wheat Ridge forum last week. Five of the six candidates who are seeking positions on the Jeffco Board of Education gave short speeches touting their attributes, during an Oct. 2 event at city hall. The six hopefuls are vying to fill three open seats on the fivemember board. The board seats are broken up into individual districts, but Jeffco voters will Van de Water vote for all three races, regardless of where they live in the county. Gordon “Spud” Van de Water and Ken Witt will square off in a race to fill a District 5 seat, one that represents their home city of Littleton and parts of south Lakewood. Van De Water told audience Witt members that his nickname of “Spud” came from “Spud” Chandler, a former New York Yankees pitcher who Van de Water said used to have trouble finding the strike zone. But this Spud — who worked in education

vowed to bring “common sense and simple solutions” to the school board. “I can think of no higher calling on earth than being a mom,” she said. “I want to be the mom’s voice on our school board.” The District 2 match-up features John Newkirk of Conifer and Jeff LaMontagne of Lakewood. The district includes the candidates’ home cities, as well as Evergreen and parts of Golden. Newkirk, who has worked in the medical technology field, touted his 20 years of youth volunteer work and his own Jeffco schooling. He also talked about the challenges that the district faces. “We’ve got our challenges,” he said. “We have budget challenges; we have classroom challenges; we have curriculum challenges. But as we’ve learned, in America we do not run from our challenges, we run toward them.” LaMontagne did not attend the event. In his stead, Sue Windels, a LaMontagne supporter, gave a speech where she talked about LaMontagne’s role in co-founding the Second Wind Foundation, an organization that provides counseling services for children who are at-risk for suicide. “I know that Jeff has really positively impacted the lives of many students and probably has saved a lot of lives as well,” she said. The forum, which was sponsored by Wheat Ridge United Neighborhoods, did not include a question-and-answer segment for the school board candidates. The next school board forum is scheduled for Oct. 10 at Lakewood’s Holy Shepard Lutheran Church, 920 Kipling. The event will be 7-9 p.m.

policy and research areas for three decades — believes that he is making a strong pitch to voters who want to see more children in Jeffco succeed, such as those who may be struggling in areas of academic performance. “We need to work very hard to make student achievement our number one goal and work to close the achievement gap in this county,” he said. Witt touted his data security business background, one where he “set policy for multibillion dollar corporations” as a leadership strength that he hopes to bring to the school board. Like Van de Water, he talked about the district’s need to close student performance gaps and his desire to address parents’ frustrations over school waiting lists. “I would like to make certain that we are able to deliver access to a high quality education to every Jeffco student,” Witt said. Also addressing Wheat Ridge voters on Oct. 2 were two Westminster mothers who are competing for a District 1 seat, one that represents their home city and much of Arvada. Tonya Aultman-Bettridge talked about her 20-year career in research and evaluation work in the areas of juvenile justice and mental health. “If I’ve learned anything in 20 years of research, I have learned that a solid public education is absolutely the best investment that we can make as a community for our children,” she said. Aultman-Bettridge’s opponent, Julie Williams, is the self-proclaimed “conservative choice” in the District 1 race. In her speech, she blasted “educrats” and

A shuttered Wheat Ridge school could end up getting new life as a police training facility. The campus of the defunct Martensen Elementary School, 6625 West 45th Place, is being discussed as a possible site for a regional law enforcement and school safety training center. The former school could be used to host police tactical and force-simulator training, as well as other areas of law enforcement training, including training involving situations of classroom violence. Whether the training facility becomes a real-

ity is too soon to tell. The first step in the public process came during an Oct. 7 Wheat Ridge City Council study session, where council members heard a presentation from Wheat Ridge Chief Dan Brennan and representatives from Jefferson County Public Schools. Martensen was closed due to low enrollment in 2010 as part of a school district consolidation effort. Jeffco schools maintain the upkeep of the campus, even though it’s no longer being used as a school. The idea of the 4.7-acre campus being used as a police training site gained movement in August, when members of the Wheat Ridge Police Department, along with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and police departments in Arvada, Lakewood and Edgewater toured the former school’s grounds. “There was consensus among representa-

tives that this site has the potential to be used as a school safety and law enforcement training center,” Brennan wrote in a memorandum that was presented to council members prior to the study session. A separate Jeffco Schools memo states that in this year alone, local law enforcement agencies have conducted 46 police training events at schools around the county. However, “schools in use are not always optimal locations for law enforcement realistic training needs that are so critical to success,” the Jeffco memo reads. The memo states that Martensen would offer a “unique” site for police to conduct training, “without disturbing a student population.” The Jefferson County Board of Education will hold a public meeting regarding phases of development, if the proposal moves forward.

Federal Center hit by shutdown Center goes into ‘weekend mode’ By Clarke Reader and Amy Woodward

creader@ourcoloradonews.com, awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com The Federal Center in Lakewood is one place in Colorado that is feeling the full force of the federal government shutdown. The campus, which is normally full of vehicles and has about 6,200 employees, has the feeling of a ghost town. Only minimal staff have been retained, and that is in keeping with the plan for the agency when there is a lack of funds. According to information posted on the U.S. General Services Administration’s website, the GSA provides a minimal level of staffing to support federal agency functions that must continue during the lapse period. “In the absence of appropriations, GSA owned and leased buildings will remain open. In many cases, because of the impact on the number of personnel managing these buildings, the services will be limited and will be similar to weekend operations.

The USGS Water Science Center, which is located at the Federal Center, is closed, along with some of their websites. The USGS website still offers updated maps, deemed “necessary to protect citizens and land property” including: • Ecosystems • Disease Maps • National Wildlife Health Center • Natural Hazards • USGS coastal erosion hazards information • USGS earthquake information • USGS emergency operations portal • USGS information on geomagnetic activity • USGS landslide information • USGS volcano information • Water NREL is still open with staff working as usual but if the government shutdown continues, they will have to close. “We hope that it won’t go that long,” George Douglas, spokesperson for NREL said. “We can continue to operate for a month or more the way we are now,” he said.

Reathman receives 48 years for wife’s murder By Amy Woodward

Other than Barbara Reathman’s family, no direct family showed for David Reathman. His two sisters wrote a letter which was read by attorneys during the sentencing hearing describing the former corrections officer as kind and loving. “Wayne was always such a quiet, calm person,” Debbie Schinski, youngest sister of David Reathman wrote. “I’m sorry to everybody,” David Reathman said. “It’s been 191 days and I miss her too,” Reathman said while coming to tears. Tamara Russell, district court judge presiding over the hearing said she has not come across a case like this before. “Sometimes people live good and honorable lives, and then they make decisions you can’t comprehend,” Judge Russell said. “I will never, never, never understand the motive behind the senseless death of Barbara Reathman.”

his head, but when the attempt failed, he later walked up trails to a mountain where he slept for three nights, hoping to freeze to death. He eventually walked back down the mountain along the Clear Creek path to the Golden police department, where he sat on a bench outside for three hours before entering the police station and turning himself in. Reathman and his wife were married for 37 years. Barbara Reathman’s family attended the sentencing. “I have a hole in my heart that will never mend,” Julie Campbell, Barbara’s Reathman’s daughter said during her statement to the judge. “She was wonderful.” Campbell was dressed in Bronco’s fan gear in memory of her mother who was a dedicated Broncos fan. “She would be very proud on how they are doing,” Campbell said.

State enforces licensing for naturopathic docs House bill now regulates holistic medicine By Amy Woodward

awoooward@ourcoloradonews.com Colorado is going through changes as the health-care market opens up with promises of low-cost health insurance. But there are also newly regulated forms of perhaps lesser known medical practices that were put in place earlier this year. In June, Colorado state legislature enacted HB 13-1111 which now regulates naturopathy, an alternative form of medicine that still connects with conventional medicine, but focuses more on environmental and psychological factors that may

attribute to symptoms felt by the patient. Typically, certain illnesses are treated with supplements and changes in diet. Colorado is now among 18 states in the U.S. and its territories in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands that have licensing laws. The bill requires doctors practicing naturopathy to register for a license on or after Jan. 1, 2014. Physicians must have a bachelor’s degree, and in addition, a fouryear degree from a naturopathic medical school registered with the U.S. Department of Education. They must also pass a naturopathic licensing examination. The board of naturopathic medicine located in the department of regulatory agencies will be designated to regulate naturopathic doctors and adopting rules. The U.S. Senate passed resolution

221 which designates the week of Oct. 7 through 13 as “Naturopathic Medicine Week” in which the Senate “recognizes the value of naturopathic medicine in providing safe, effective, and affordable health care,” and encourages citizens to learn more about naturopathy. Dr. Kaycie Rosen Grigel, ND in Golden has been seeing patients for seven years in Colorado, after practicing for three years in Alaska. In light of regulation for her profession, she wants to help raise awareness this week about the benefits of naturopathy. “How we live in the world affects how our bodies manifest symptoms,” Dr. Grigel said. “It’s really important to me to have a relationship with my patients where I understand the whole context of their health.”

Grigel has 500 patients under her practice who have various illnesses and ailments such as arthritis, head and neck pain, diabetes, and digestive problems. With regulation, Dr. Grigel predicts a possible shift in coverage in which insurance companies may extend their coverage to naturopathic medicine. “In the past, I’ve spoken with different companies about being on their networks, but the tough thing in Colorado is there is no way to regulate the providers that were asking out to their networks,” she said. “So now there is.” For more information on naturopathy medicine go to www.nccam.nih.gov/ health/naturopathy.

State’s racial gaps narrow in education Economic disparities stay unchanged over two years By Burt Hubbard

I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS Black and Latino adults in Colorado narrowed some of the wide education gaps with their white counterparts last year, according to an I-News analysis of new U.S. Census Bureau data. Colorado no longer has the largest gaps in the nation in college graduation rates between black and white residents, and both Latino and black adults saw high school graduation gaps narrow to their lowest levels in decades. “That’s good news all the way around,” said Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia, who also is executive director of the Colorado Higher Education Department. “It’s the result of more fo-

cus and more collaboration between K-12 and higher education.” However, income, poverty and homeownership disparities between whites and the state’s largest minority groups remained unchanged between 2010 and 2012, the analysis found. An I-News investigation published earlier this year of six decades of Census data found that minority gains made in key economic and education areas had eroded over time. In many cases, the disparities between Latinos, blacks and whites were wider in 2010 than they were in the 1960s Bailey and 1970s. The latest Census data from the 2012 American Community Survey of states and their largest cities and counties found across-the-board increases in minority high school and college graduation rates since 2010. The percent of black adults 25 years of age and older with college degrees rose from about 20 percent to 24 percent durGarcia ing the two years. That narrowed the gap with their white counterparts to less than 20 percentage points, compared to 23 percentage points in 2010. White college graduation rates inched up less than 1 percentage point to 43 percent in 2012. As a result, Colorado no longer has the largest gaps in the U.S. between white and black adults. It now ranks third behind Connecticut and Massachusetts, the I-News analysis found. Sharon Bailey, a former Denver Public Schools board member and a member of the Colorado Black Round Table, said the state’s attention to education disparities may be starting to pay off. “I do think there has been a bigger spotlight put on graduation rates and remediation,” Bailey said. The round table is holding a community forum at Man-

ual High School in Denver Sept. 28 on minority education and economic gaps. The college graduation gap between Latino and white Colorado adults remained unchanged in the new report, exceeding 30 percentage points, and was still the largest in the U.S. Both Latino and black adults continued to narrow the gaps in high school graduation rates. Black rates rose from 86 percent to 89 percent and Latino rates rose from 65 percent to 68 percent between 2010 and 2012, while white rates stayed at about 96 percent. Both gaps are the smallest since 1960. However, Garcia said most new jobs in the state in the coming years will require more than a high school degree. “A high school degree just isn’t going to cut it,” he said. “When we look at Colorado’s economy, we know that some 70 percent of the jobs that will be created in the next 10 years will require some post-secondary credentials.” Both Garcia and Bailey said the state needs to step up its efforts on educational attainment. Bailey said Colorado needs to look at factors behind minority successes and replicate them. Garcia said the state should work on eliminating barriers to minorities completing college, such as the high rate of remedial classwork, while expanding programs such as concurrent enrollment, which allows students to take college class while still in high school. “We have to do a better job if we want to have a strong economy long term.” The gaps in economic areas such as family income and homeownership either remained unchanged or widened slightly between 2010 and 2012, the analysis found. Family income and poverty gaps widened between white and black residents, while homeownership gaps widened between white and Latino households.

A childhood touched by war “Year of the Jungle” by Suzanne Collins 2013, Scholastic $17.99 / $19.99 Canada 40 pages All day long, while you’re at school, you really miss your parents. But that’s okay. You know you’ll see them in a few hours or a few days, and it’ll be fun. You’ll get hugs and give kisses, make dinner together, and read stories. But some kids, though, they have to wait to see their mom or dad, and it might be a long time. In “Year of the Jungle” by Suzanne Collins, illustrated by James Proimos, you’ll see why. Suzy, who was the youngest in her family, loved when her dad read poems to her. She particularly liked the ones about a dragon because he was ‘the bravest of all.” The dragon was special, and so was everybody in Suzy’s family. But Suzy’s daddy had to go away for a while. She knew he was going to a place called Vietnam , and someone said he’d be “in the jungle.” That reminded her of her favorite TV cartoon, which was about a jungle man who swings from a rope. Her dad would be gone for a year. That seemed like a long time. While he was gone, Suzy’s dad sent lots of postcards. He missed her first day of first grade. He wasn’t there to read the paper to her, or poems. He wasn’t

around for Halloween or Thanksgiving, but he sent a Vietnamese lady doll home for Suzy’s Christmas present. Suzy tried hard not to worry, even though grown-ups acted weird when they found out where her father was. She tried not to think about her dad in the jungle, until she got a birthday card from him and it was nowhere near her birthday. It was hard not to think about him after she saw a TV news report with explosions and hurt soldiers. That made her cry. It was a long year, but then her dad came home – just that quick! He wasn’t quite the Daddy that Suzy remembered. He looked tired, he was awfully thin, and sometimes, he looked like he was thinking about the jungle. He came home with gifts, but the best gift of all was having him home. I really liked this book, but I struggled to determine its audience. ”Year of the Jungle” will be way better understood by grandparents than

by children: author Suzanne Collins’ tale, for instance, touches upon popculture things that would resonate with people who were kids during the Vietnam War. Yes, today’s children know all about war and parents going away to fight one, but will they understand this story? I think so. Collins based her book on her own childhood recollections, and her memories of loss, worry, and confusion are wisely innocent and timeless without being too scary. Illustrations by James Proimos help maintain that lack of frightfulness. Overall, this is a grown-up-kids book that I think may actually be comforting to children whose parents are in the military because it assures them that “most people come back.” And for that, “Year of the Jungle” is one that neither of you should miss.

Women inspire girls to pursue their dreams Girl Scouts of Colorado, School of Mines partner for STEM education By Amy Woodward

awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com Nearly 186 girl scouts gathered at Colorado School of Mines to embark on an educational journey into the world of science during “Girl Scout Engineering Day” on Oct. 5. For 20 years, Girl Scouts of Colorado in collaboration with the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), a nonprofit educational collegiate organization, have strived to expose girls of all ages to the awesome power of math and science. Their intent is to inspire at least a few young minds to consider the field of engineering as a career choice by allowing them to do experiments and work hands-on with basic math and engineering concepts. “More than anything I think it’s important for them to know that they are capable of doing something more than the traditional careers that women normally do,” Tori Billings, SWE section president for CSM said. “A lot of it is just to encourage them to pursue their dreams.” Confidence is needed for young girls and women interested in pursuing a career in STEM related fields, and according to the Girl Scout Research Institute, teen girls are not blind to gender barriers, with 57 percent A SWE (Society of Women Engineers) volunteer stands ready at an activity table to show girl scouts fun experiments in science and engineering during “Girl Scout Engineering Day” of girls agreeing they would “have to work on Oct. 5 at the Colorado School of Mines.

NEWS IN A HURRY Floodplain changes proposed

Officials with the City of Wheat Ridge will be holding a meeting on Oct. 23, where they will discuss proposed changes to the city’s floodplain ordinance. “These changes involve adopting new state regulations and new floodplain maps and incorporating minor changes in order to maximize the discount that our citizens receive for floodplain insurance,” city Management Analyst Nathan Mosley said through a news release. The public meeting will be held 5-7 p.m. at the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center. The meeting is the first step in a process that will span five months, culminating with new floodplain maps taking effect in early February. Property owners who either currently reside in the floodplain or those whose

residences are expected to be added, will receive mailed notices of the meeting, according to Mosley.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

A week to tout value of newspapers Where was it that you heard about the so-called demise of the newspaper? Probably, you read about it in your daily newspaper; because, as Mark Twain, a journalist himself, was able to write to a friend: “The report of my death was an exaggeration.” And a good newspaper will go on to explain the source of the rumor, and if false, will present the facts that debunk it. Well into the 21st century, American newspapers are as relevant as ever, because like other vital segments of their community, they are always at work and always looking to reinvent themselves. We’ve seen this in high-profile deals such as Jeff Bezos’ acquisition of The Washington Post; but we’ve also seen dramatic changes nationally at newspapers large and small, as their news, advertising, marketing and circulation staffs have embraced a variety of digital and social media platforms to reach new and existing readers, while continuing to present the news in the traditional print format. But the modes of communication are not the most important change: That is in the way that the newspaper has greatly expanded its role as watchdog for the community. Trust in our public institutions is on a steady decline, and sturdy journalism is going to be the only reliable way for average Americans to glean the truth from a

GUEST EDITORIAL stream of conflicting information disseminated by political partisans and vested interests. In the past year, newspapers were the leading source of information on these stories of vital importance in their communities and nationwide: • The Denver Post conveyed news via text, social media and video of a gunman, who killed 12 moviegoers in Aurora, while the tragic events still were occurring. • The Tennessean in Nashville called attention to Tennessee’s Department of Children’s Services’ inability to account for the deaths or near-deaths over a threeyear period of approximately 200 children who were in custody or whose welfare was being monitored by the state. The reports led to the department head’s resignation and a restructure of the department. • An investigation by The Sun Sentinel of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., uncovered widespread cases of off-duty police officers’ reckless driving. In each case, the newspaper looked its role as a voice for the entire community it

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Do you want to go to Mars?

A Dutch organization, Mars One, has announced plans to establish a human settlement on Mars by 2023 and has received thousands of applications, even though it might be a one-way trip. Colorado Community Media asked visitors to the Outlets at Castle Rock if they would be interested in going.

“Probably. It’s something different. I’m a futuristic thinker … (But if it were a one-way trip) “it would depend on if they have a beach or a lake and if I could convince my family to go.” — Chase McCall, Castle Rock

“No. I’m a picky eater. I don’t think I could eat astronaut food. And I like to be outdoors.” — Brittany Dunn, Centennial

“Yes. ... The Earth is getting overpopulated. It’s getting too polluted. I totally know my friends would go with me. They totally agree.” — Lauren M., Parker

“No. ... We’re outdoors people. I don’t know how you could be ‘outdoorsy’ there. I like all four seasons. And it’s a really big risk.” — Brian Bergeman, Aurora

Learn to ride the waves How many of you remember the Broncos two Super Bowls? Do you remember how they won those two games? John Elway, plus a dominating running game. My, how times have changed. This year, as Peyton Manning is so adeptly highlighting, a good running game is almost an afterthought to a winning NFL team. Still, a few teams and coaches cling to their power games — old habits die hard. Which is another way of saying that paradigms are difficult things to change. And often, the recognition of a changed paradigm comes only on the other side of a painful experience (enter the New York Giants). About 48 percent of us received just such a lesson 11 months ago. The presidential campaign of Mitt Romney firmly believed that they were going to win the election, or, at the very least, that they were going to have a very interesting night. They thought that way because that’s what their polling told them. Unfortunately for them, the “science” of polling involves a little bit of art: the pollster manipulates the raw numbers based on what he or she believes the overall electorate is going to look like on election day. They make conclusions by straining data through a ﬁlter of their own (educated) assumptions. The Romney pollster and the Obama pollster probably got similar raw numbers, but the assumptions of the Obama campaign, it turns out, were more in tune with the changed electorate than the assumptions of the Romney pollster. Mitt Romney got slapped upside the head by a shifting paradigm. Actually, several paradigms, but that’s a topic for another day. The ability to function successfully in the world, it would seem, is deeply tied to one’s ability to foresee and manage shifting paradigms. For example, public schools are just now coming to grips with the idea that students have hundreds of sources of information at their fingertips, and the schools are not even in the top ten. So, when a school like Oberon Middle begins encouraging their students to

bring and use their networking devices for schoolwork, it is a foresighted reflection of an understanding of the shifting paradigm, and an attempt to manage and use it. The pastor at my church has lately been pointing out that every bit of research points to a massive cultural shift in America that says people, in general, no longer look to churches and the clergy for understanding of truth. Whereas, fifty years ago, discussions of morals and right and wrong were founded in the teachings of religion, today, the sources of right and wrong are as broad as Hollywood or as isolated as Twitter. In other words, the new paradigm is that institutions are no longer trusted sources of morality, and, as Pastor John says, for the Church to thrive, it’s going to need to start thinking of itself as missionaries in its own country. Paradigm shifts are strange things, but they seem to be piling up in this fastchanging world. So I would leave you with this thought: per capita, more millionaires made their fortunes during the Great Depression than at any other time in American history. Why? Because they understood how the world was changing in tumultuous times. So learn to ride the waves as they shift underneath you. If you catch the right one, it may take you on to far, green country and a swift sunrise!

In-between is really middle of nowhere Some of you may remember the Gerry Rafferty song, “Stuck in the Middle,” and then again, since it was written and first performed in 1972 by Stealers Wheel, maybe there are more of you who don’t have a clue about what I am referring to. That’s OK. The point is this: Are you stuck in the middle? Are you in the middle of a project, the middle of a decision, the middle of a quarrel, or just stuck in the middle of anything? You see, it’s the middle that gets us. It’s not the “yeses” or the “noes” that derail us, it is the “maybes” that bring us the greatest frustration. It’s when we get paralyzed by indecision or suffer paralysis by analysis as we overthink each and every single thing we do. You know what I mean, right? It’s that in-between stuff that really muddles the middle. Those “tweener” situations where

we do not know if we are in or out, or on which side, or whose side we will fall. The real questions are why and how we find ourselves in this position. Is it because we are over-accommodating and work so hard at pleasing everyone that we find ourselves in the middle so that we do not offend anyone? And you know what happens when we are in a relation-

ship, friendship, or partnership and both people strive to accommodate the other person, it’s like ending up in a reverse arm wrestling match. Instead of strenuously trying to “push” our opponent’s hand to the table, both sides try and let the other person win and end up in an extreme game of tug of war as we “pull” our own hands toward our side of the table. What are we afraid of? Are we fearful that we may make the wrong decision? Here’s the deal, we can make and will make a million wrong decisions in our life. But there is nothing we can ever do, within reason, that will torpedo our lives or our relationships or any business venture that we are pursuing that cannot be overcome as long as our decisions are in alignment with our values. And as Roy Disney said, “It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your

values are.” It’s when we don’t put our stake in the ground and waffle about everything we need to do that places us in a perpetual state of limbo and unable to move forward. And we usually choose not to take a stand or make a decision because we are operating out of a mode of fear or scarcity rather than a mode of growth or abundance. What are you waiting for? What’s the big or even little decision that is holding you back? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we resolve to leave the “tweener” in us behind, it really will be a better than good week.

Overture to Egmont. This is from a series of nine pieces of music written for the play of the same name by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe about a Dutch nobleman, the Count of Egmont and his heroic adventures. This piece of music has an interesting history as it was written during the Napoleonic wars as sort of a protest against what Beethoven perceived as Napoleon’s oppressive domination over most of Europe at the time. This piece of music later became the unofficial anthem of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. It’s a pretty dramatic way to set the stage for the rest of the concert. Sheherazade is one of the best known

pieces of classical music, but what some people may not realize is that there is both a Rimsky-Korsakov version as well as one by Ravel. The latter features a female vocal and that is the version to be presented in this concert. Guest artist Marcia Ragonetti, Mezzo Soprano, will do the honor of presenting this musical story of a Persian enchantress from the tale “1,001 Nights” and it is an exotic musical experience to say the least. Tchaikovsky’s Symphony no.5 will cap off the performance with a piece of music that received one of the most bizarre critiques on it’s 1892 American premier in the Boston Evening Transcript that I have ever read. Amongst other things the reviewer wrote “ In the Finale we have all the untamed fury of the Cossack, whetting itself for deeds of atrocity, against all the sterility of the Russian steppes. The furious peroration sounds like nothing so much as a horde of demons struggling in a torrent of brandy, the music growing drunker and drunker. Pandemonium, delirium tremens, raving, and above all, noise worse confounded!”

I guess in 1892 that meant he didn’t like it very much, but a review like that nowadays would probably mean people would be lining up down the block to get tickets. OK, be honest, now you want to go and hear it for yourself, right? Well, you don’t have to stand in line to get tickets, you can order them on the Jefferson Symphony website, www.jeffersonsymphonyorchestra.org. and the prices are Adults $22, Seniors (62+) $17, Students (11-21) $10, Children (10 & under) $5 with group rates available for 10 or more. You can also get season tickets there. The Jefferson Symphony Orchestra is celebrating it’s 61st season and is one of the outstanding community orchestras around. Treat yourself and your family to an afternoon of great music by attending this season’s opener.

Concert represents a powerful combination of pieces Sometimes my imagination starts to get the better of me and I get some pretty wild ideas. As an example, what would it be like if all the great musical composers were still alive and someone was putting a concert together? I can see the poster now — Tchaikovsky, Beethoven and Ravel together live in concert with full symphony orchestra. One performance only. Tickets available online. That would be pretty exciting, wouldn’t it? Three powerhouse’s together on one bill, but that’s only my imagination running amok, right? Well, not really. It’s an actual concert, it’s happening right here in Golden and our own Jefferson Symphony Orchestra will be presenting it as their season opener on Sunday, Oct. 20 at the Green Center on the Colorado School of Mines campus. Showtime is 3 p.m. Although these composers have passed on, their music will always remain some of the greatest ever written, and this concert will feature some very moving examples of their work. The concert will open with the Beethoven segment that will feature the

LETTER TO THE EDITOR League supports DDA

In early 2014 the Golden Urban Renewal Authority will “sunset” by law. GURA has done a lot over the past 25 years helping to re-vitalize the downtown area and create an energetic and healthy business community. During this election period in November, voters in the downtown area and immediate surrounding neighborhoods will have an opportunity to vote on creating a replacement entity to be named the Downtown Development Authority (DDA). This DDA would continue with selected programs to keep downtown Golden and those surrounding neighborhoods healthy and vibrant. Funding for the DDA will come from tax increments to be paid by residents and businesses in the area covered by the proposed DDA. Only those residents and business owners within the boundary of the DDA are eligible to vote on this issue. Those who are eligible will be asked to vote on four questions. Each question on financing provides the DDA with a means of funding. The amount and type of funding approved by voters will determine the level of expenditures that the DDA can make for improvements. There is some concern about how funds may be used and the types of projects to be supported if the DDA and some, or all, of the financing mechanisms are voted into existence. We would like to point out that the DDA will have a Board of Directors, separate from City Council that will publicize proposals, furnish information, and make decisions following public meetings. To ensure that citizens of the affected area have input, we encourage participation through the open meetings and discussions when expenditures and major projects are considered. The Golden Good Government League (GGGL) supports creating the DDA and approving each financing question. We believe the DDA will produce a return on investment worthy of its creation. Casey Brown Chairman of GGGL Board of Trustees

Hidden cost of DDA

You missed an important issue in the creation of a DDA in downtown Golden – the funding. In the Sept. 26th article, you mention only the 5 mill property tax levy, but you fail to mention two important funding components: · Tax Increment Financing, or TIF · Sales taxes from the City of Golden: 50 percent of eligible general fund sales tax increment (1 cent). The 800-pound gorilla is the TIF. Here’s how it works: For the life of the DDA (25 to 50 years), all future property taxes in excess of the amount assessed at the creation of the DDA (the tax increment) would go to the DDA rather than to the actual taxing authority. That means schools, library, roads, the sheriff, and others would lose all incremental tax revenue within the DDA from increased assessed values due to economic recovery and inflation. TIF was created for the purpose of funding the redevelopment of so-called “blighted” areas. The State of Colorado says: TIF districts are exclusively authorized for projects that improve blighted areas. GURA was financed by TIF. But even the DDA’s online presentation recognizes we don’t have blight: “Urban renewal is based on preventing and remediating “blight.” Not much blight left, so we can’t “re-up” (GURA) even if we had more time.” So the TIF is being used for a purpose that was not intended. 25 to 50 years is a long time. GURA’s TIF revenue now represents almost 1.5 million dollars a year – that’s money taken directly out of services that you and I depend on. GURA’s TIF will now go away and the DDA TIF will start over. How high the DDA’s TIF grows will depend on inflation — 25 to 50 years of it. So we will suffer degraded school, city and county services that eventually will require future tax increases – not just in the district, but for all of us. Yet we don’t get to vote on it. I’d vote no. Tom Atkins Golden

Elmer J. Reece

August 5, 1917 - September 9, 2013

Elmer J. Reece, 96, passed away from natural causes on Monday, September 9, at Denver Hospice. Elmer was born August 5, 1917 on the family farm in Byers, Colorado, to the late John Reece and May H. Reece. He is survived by his wife of 66 yrs., Doris I. Reece, one daughter, Janice Teter married to Barry Teter of Arvada. He has two grandsons, Jason Teter (married to Heidi) of Cumming, GA and Christopher Teter of Los Angeles, CA. He is also survived by two great-grandchildren, RJ and Tessa Teter, and known fondly by them as Popeye. Elmer was a US Navy veteran and survivor of Pearl Harbor. He was a Chief Petty Officer and radio operator on the USS Detroit which was moored in Pearl Harbor on the day of the attack.

He was a member of the Pearl Harbor Survivor’s organization for many years. He was the happiest on a ship and sailed with his wife on over twenty cruises during retirement. Elmer worked at Coors Brewery for 36 years as a pipefitter and mechanic. He enjoyed 31 years of retirement, was an active member of the Elk’s Club, enjoyed reading, dancing, swimming, and traveling. He always had a glimmer in his eyes and was many times up to some kind of mischief. His attitude about life served him well and allowed for his long and productive life. He was laid to rest at Ft. Logan National Cemetery. Contributions can be made to the Denver Hospice or the Wounded Warrior Project in his name.

and its residents. How do you plan to work with county ofﬁcials during the planning phase and as the project progresses? 4) What are your thoughts on the potential formation of the Downtown Development Authority? 5) With four years left to meet a 50-percent renewable energy goal by 2017, how do you think the city should approach meeting this goal? Eric Scarbro and Laura Weinberg are running for a possible ﬁrst term as a Ward 4 city council member. Ward 1,2, and 3 seats are uncontested this year. Terms are for four years, and members are eligible for a second term.

Eric Scarbro

Laura Weinberg

Background: Raising two children with wife Sharon, and lived in Golden for 22 years. Holds a master’s in economics, and was employed at the Colorado School of Mines for 20 years as the Financial Systems Manager. I have served on the City of Golden’s Citizens Budget Advisory Committee for 10 years, was a Girl Scout troop leader for six years, and participated in Scarbro other volunteer work. Contact: Email ericg@ scarbro.com; website eric4golden.com 1) flexible, honest, cooperative 2) I am very familiar with the city’s finances and operations after my 10 years of service on the Citizens Budget Advisory Committee. I have fought for and am committed to keeping the historic character and peaceful, small town feel we all love about Golden. 3) We will not compromise our quality of life or the connections between our neighborhoods. County officials should be encouraged to consider the welfare of people in Golden. Expanding county council to five members will improve accountability and create more flexibility in talks. Golden has made a good faith effort to compromise, let’s hope the county will too. 4) The Golden Urban Renewal Authority has revitalized downtown. The DDA takes us the next step in support of our vibrant businesses. None of us wants to lose our favorite restaurants, stores and other friendly services because they are our friends and neighbors. 5) The city should not spend money purchasing its own electrical generation equipment. Private enterprise can provide renewable energy cheaper and more efficiently. Renewable energy can be purchased now from Windsource. Conservation through LEED standards for buildings is one of the best ways to meet our sustainability goals.

Background: Golden resident since 2007 with my husband, Mike, and two daughters, ages 6 and 8. I’m an active member of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, Mitchell Elementary PTA and Canyon Point HOA Board. I hold a bachelor’s degree from Brown University and an MBA from University of Denver. Contact: Website w w w. L a u r a F o r G o l d e n . com; email laura@laurafor- Weinberg golden.com; phone 303241-9823. 1) Strategic, collaborative, honest. 2) I have had a successful career leading teams, managing change, identifying risk and collaborating across groups. My experience, dedication to service and commitment to our city make me the best candidate. 3) I will encourage all Golden residents to participate in the survey portion of the planning phase to make sure our voices are heard; hold the county and state to the specifics of the Golden plan; and ensure Golden is a leader in all Western Beltway discussions, not just those within Golden borders. Golden needs to continue to partner with neighboring cities to push for improvements to key interior roadways independent of any Beltway conversations. 4) A vibrant downtown is a benefit to all Golden residents and businesses and will need continued reinvestment to maintain what we love and new investment to redevelop east Downtown. A DDA can provide the dedicated funding and vision for the downtown area. 5) The Technical Advisory Committee commended our strategy and recommended retaining the goal and extending the timeframe. I would support the extension and continue to provide the resources to the Community Sustainability Advisory Board to pursue the efforts they have begun towards meeting the goal.

Theater offers stray of hope Several years ago Mr. On The Town — the No. 1 dog lover in our house — and I attended the play “Sylvia” at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. The A.R. Gurney play is about an empty-nest couple who take in a stray dog. I won’t give away the ending but this comedy will tug at your heartstrings. I guarantee you’ll love this play! “Sylvia” plays Nov. 7-17 at the LTAC. Tickets are available at www. LoneTreeArtsCenter.org or by calling 720-509-1000. Kim Staunton, a winner of a Denver Post Ovation Award, Henry Award, and Westword’s Best of Denver among her many local theater performances, stars as Kate. Two Tony Award nominees, director Randal Myler and Jonathan C. Kaplan (as Greg), also are part of the cast and crew. Denver favorites Jamie Ann Romero (Sylvia) and Randy Moore (Tom, Phyllis and Leslie) round out a stellar cast.

The “Earth Moves” show at the Arvada Center highlights new techniques and materials that ceramic artists are using. Eight invited artists and 42 juried artists from all over the country are represented in the show. Piece pictured is by Derek Reeverts. Piece pictured lower left is by Katherine Taylor.

Boys and Girls Club opens

The opening of the new Nancy P. Anschutz Center Boys and Girls Club on Tuesday, Oct. 1 was a celebration, despite a horrific shooting just 11 days earlier that left club advocate Terrance Roberts accused of attempted murder. Boldfaced names like Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, Phil and Nancy Anschutz, John and Paige Elway and Jack A. Vickers celebrated the opening of the new center at the Jack A. Vickers Boys & Girls Club. Denver politicos and movers and shakers joined the celebration of a new Park Hill community center that replaced a shopping area torched by a gang in 2008. Boys and Girls Club President and CEO John Aragoni held the sentiments of many in attendance when he said: “The community here had gone through its ups and downs. But we want to recognize its past with an eye on its future.”

`Girl’ power for CRA

Sonia Riggs, formerly the executive director of the American Institute of Architects Colorado, is the heir apparent to eventually take over Pete Meersman’s chief cheese job with the Colorado Restaurant Association as Meersman prepares for his departure. CRA chairman of the board Rich Yoke appointed a search committee to advertise, screen, interview and select someone to serve as the new CRA chief operating officer, a position that will transition into the president and chief executive officer when Meersman, who has led the CRA for 30-plus years, leaves the association Nov. 1, 2014. As of that date, Meersman will become the CRA’s chief strategy officer by serving on various affiliated boards and working on special projects until November 2019. Parker continues on Page 18

Two exhibits at Arvada Center examine changes in forms, methods By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com

ld traditions and new technologies come together in the fall gallery exhibitions at the Arvada Center. “Earth Moves: Shifts in Ceramic Art and Design” takes a look at the changing world of ceramics, and how fine arts, industry and design are blending into that world. The show is on display in the Main Gallery. “Continuing Legacies: Evolving Ceramic Traditions” examines some of the oldest forms of ceramics, and brings artists who have been working in the form for generations to the fore. The show is on display in the Upper Gallery. Both shows will be on display at the center’s galleries, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through Nov. 10. The galleries are open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 1-5 p.m. “I think they’re really interesting shows — there are so many different things in both of them,” said curatorial assistant Kristin Bueb. “A lot of what’s on display is so much different from what people are used to, and shows how people can push the boundaries.” The shows were put together by the center’s ceramic coordinator Bebe Alexander, who said they were

extremely challenging because of the nature of the works. “With Earth Moves, the shifts in technology and design were the focus, and we wanted to display artists who are using new tools,” she said. The call for artists was put out in March, and jurors whittled the submissions down to eight invited artists and 42 juried artists from all over the country. Many of these artists are using computer-aided design and 3-D printing and renderings to add new diIF YOU GO mensions to their work. Some particularly striking installations on WHAT: “Earth display include a “Glyph” series from David Moves” and “ConKaufmann, who created porcelain models tinuing Legacies” of iPads and uses the finger swipes from the exhibitions screen to create modern hieroglyphics. WHERE: Arvada There is also a a recreation of a SynapCenter tic Lab by Donna Webb, that has maps, lab 6901 Wadsworth equipment and bottles and vials, which sugBlvd., Arvada gests the mixing of science and art in groundwater landscape. WHEN: Through Alexander said the “Continuing Legacies” Nov. 10 exhibit serves as a nice counterpoint to the Monday through main gallery, showing ancient forms of potFriday - 9 a.m. to tery and ceramics that have been practiced 6 p.m. for generations. “We have Takashi Nakazato, 13th generaSaturday - 10 a.m. to tion Japanese potter,” she said. “Also on dis5 p.m. play are the works of Kazu Oba, who studied Sunday - 1-5 p.m. with Nakazato and is on staff at the Center.” The pottery of Adam Field, studied under COST: Free seventh generation Korean potter, Kim llINFORMATION: Maan, was the germ of the exhibit idea, Al720-898-7200 or exander said. www.arvadacenter.

Other participating artists include Trevor Dunn, Simon Leach, Ben Owen III and Michael Wisner.

`Orange’ you glad for a deal?

“Sonia will officially begin work at CRA on Nov. 20,” Meersman said in a mass email. “She will be at CRA building on occasion before then for other meetings. “Sonia’s professional references raved about her when I talked to them. (All four AIA references not only praised her, but they asked me not to hire her because they wanted her to stay there.) I spent a morning last talking with Sonia in person. She has a great personality and sense of humor. She will fit in well with our very talented staff.” The CRA serves restaurants throughout the metro area and the entire state of Colorado.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your keen insight once again helps you handle a challenging situation with a clearer perception of what it’s really all about. What you learn helps you make a difficult decision. CANCER (Jun 21 to July 22) If you want to steer clear of getting involved in a new family dispute, say so. Your stand might cause hurt feelings for some, but overall, you’ll be respected for your honesty. LEO (July 23 to Aug 22) Expect recognition for your efforts in getting a project into operation. Besides the more practical rewards, your Lion’s heart will be warmed by the admiration of your colleagues. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Set aside time to rid yourself of clutter that might well be drawing down your creative energies. Consider asking someone to help you decide what stays and what goes. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A colleague could make a request that might place you in an awkward position with co-workers. Best advice: Share your concerns with an associate you can trust. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Your energy levels are way up, allowing you to take on the added challenge of a task you’ve been hoping to secure. Expect this move to lead to an important opportunity. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Your continuing sense of confidence in what you’ve set out to do gives encouragement to others. Expect to see more people asking to add their efforts to yours. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) You might think it would be best to reject a suggestion others insist would be unworkable. But you might be surprised by what you find if you give it a chance. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Changing a decision might disappoint some people, but the important thing is that you be honest with yourself. Don’t go ahead with anything you have doubts about. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) There could be some fallout from an emotional confrontation that you really should deal with before moving on. Best to start fresh with a clean, clear slate. BORN THIS WEEK: Your honesty not only helps you make decisions for yourself, but also helps others find the right choices for themselves. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

What to do if you’re the ‘other’ woman Editor’s Note: Neil Rosenthal is off for the week. This is from “The Best of Neil Rosenthal.” Dear Neil: I am an avid reader of your column. I would like for you to address the flip side of infidelity—and discuss the “other” woman. She is not always an evil harlot looking for fun. I can speak from experience, since I have been on both sides. I was married and cheated on, and presently I am madly in love with a married man. We have been friends and lovers for three years. My time with this man is so awesome and so very special. I know that what we are doing is wrong—and that someday, someone will get hurt. But how can I give up my best friend and the best thing that has ever happened in my life? Every moment and phone call is precious. We normally see each other at least three times a week and he calls four plus times a day. He swears the loves me, tells me I am the best thing that has every happened to him, there is nothing between them, etc. You may be asking: “Why doesn’t he leave his wife then?” When I broach this topic, he answers that he can’t afford the settlement, and that she will destroy him. So please do not always criticize the “other” woman. We are not necessar-

ily sluts or anything of the sort. We are women who have emotions, families, jobs. There is a difference in doing this for thrills or doing this because one is in love. There are very strong emotional reasons that keep me tied to him. I also truly believe that he loves me. Could you offer advice as to what I should do and what you think about this? I have considered contacting his wife because I am willing to go to battle for him. Should I give it up, continue to hope that he will eventually leave her, or fight for him? In Love With a Married Man in Denver Dear In Love: There are some unanswered questions in the choice that you’re considering. Does the man you’re in love with have a history of infidelity or deceit, or is the first time he’s been in this situ-

ation? Could he be deceiving you about his marriage and his feelings about his wife? If he were to leave her and choose you, what makes you so sure he wouldn’t do the same thing to you once you’re his? If he isn’t acting trustworthy to his wife now, what makes you so sure this behavior would change? I do not buy that the reason he is staying with his wife is because he can’t afford to leave her—that does not sound like an entirely honest answer to me. It is also expensive to stay with her and live a double life as he is doing. He indeed may be afraid of her, but what would you guess her reaction will be when she finds out--as she inevitably will--that he is emotionally and sexually involved with another woman? You’ve heard the expression “Hell hath no fury…” The problem with being in this position is that you’re always in second place, and he’s never actually yours. My advice to you is to offer this man a choice: suffer the consequences and divorce his wife so he can have you—or lose you and keep his wife. I do not recommend you continue the relationship the way things are, because you’re the one likely to be most hurt in this story, and it does not sound as if he is going to leave his wife voluntarily.

If you confront the wife about your affair with her husband, she is likely to have one of two responses. She will either fight for him with everything she’s got, or she’ll throw him out. But people have been know to get homicidal in such circumstances, so you want to be very, very careful. Also, we cannot reasonably predict what his response would be if you forced his hand and put him in an embarrassing situation, but this might not work in your favor, and he could reasonably feel betrayed by you. The best indication of how he feels is about how he behaves. Force him to align his behavior with his words—or get out of this for your own sanity. And if you do wind up leaving this, find someone available and unencumbered next time. It’s way less messy that way, and an available man just might be able and willing to be yours. Neil Rosenthal is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Westminster and Boulder, Colorado. His column is in it’s 21st year of publication, and is syndicated around the world.

SCREAMIN’ DEMONS

Golden has tossed themselves into the mix for a 4A Jeffco league title with their win over Arvada. Photo by Daniel Williams

Arvada hangs around, Golden big in second half Bulldogs coach likes effort but Demons too much down stretch By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com LAKEWOOD – For 40 minutes Arvada played as well as Golden — who is might be the best team in 4A Jeffco this season. However, over the game’s final 40 minutes the Demons looked like the one of the best teams in the state, scoring three goals on its way to a 3-0 victory over the Bulldogs Wednesday at Lakewood Memorial Field.

After a scoreless first half where Arvada nearly scored on a couple occasions and played strong defense against a very potent Golden offense, the Demons went on a second half scoring binge. “I thought we played some of the best soccer we have played all season in the first half,” Arvada coach Neil Magor said. “But we couldn’t keep it up in the second half and Golden got hot.” Junior Philip Katzman, junior Mark Seaholm and senior Jack Breer all scored for the Demons, breaking open what had been a tightly contested game. In addition, Golden’s junior goaltender Japer Hughes was unbreakable stopping six shots on goal. “We didn’t really have it going early but we got it together at the half and came out in the second half playing like a different team,” Golden coach Josh

Nolker said. The victory for Golden was a big one as it keeps them undefeated in league play and also keeps them on pace with Evergreen and Wheat Ridge who are also undefeated in 4A Jeffco league play. Arvada is still searching for its first league win. The Bulldogs have shown flashes of being as good as any team in their league. However, they have also been inconsistent and had too many defensive mistakes. Golden (7-1-2, 3-0) has won four straight games and will try to stay in the race for a league crown when they play D’Evelyn Friday at 4 p.m. at Lakewood Memorial Field. Arvada (3-9, 0-4) will play Alameda Tuesday at 6 p.m. at LMF.

Jeffco state golf recap: RV second in state, D’Evelyn 7th Golfers from all over Jeffco shine at state tournaments By Daniel Williams

Golden 0, Monarch 55 The Demons suffered another loss 55-0 to Monarch, dropping their record to 0-6 overall, 0-1 in league.

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com ARVADA – Jeffco tennis proved to be a force this season as they produced state qualifiers from all corners of the county. Ralston Valley led the way for 5A Jeffco as they qualified four of its teams for the state tournament. In 4A Jeffco, D’Evelyn stole the show and will feature five of its teams in the state tourney. “We have a really good team this year. Our program is on the rise,” Ralston Valley coach Tom Russ said. “We had a lot of new kids come out this year and we have added a lot of depth.” Qualifying for the state tournament is a feat in itself, let alone making a run in the state tournament. Many really good tennis players do not make it to state because of a rough region or a tough draw in the regional bracket. But the way these region sets up only the elite high school tennis players in the state qualify for the chance to play in the state tournament. “Jeffco tennis is underrated I would say. There are a lot of really great tennis players in our areas, we see it every year,” Russ said. The state tournament starts Thursday at Gates Tennis Center and goes

Make fun books full of fall colors Before leaves fall from trees and are too crunchy to collect, make an identification book with young children. Collecting and exercising are good reasons for walks in the woods. For more science ideas see grandparentsteachtoo.org, wnmufm.org “Learning through the Seasons” pod casts and wnmufm Public Radio 90 live Tuesdays 4:30 and Saturdays at 8:35 am.

Materials:

Bag, leaves, white glue, thick paper, and string

What to Do:

A walk is a perfect time to combine science, reading, and quiet discussion to build vocabulary. Very young children can collect and sort leaves by size and color. Older children can collect and sort by

type. Explain leaves make food for plants by collecting water from the roots and carbon dioxide gas from people and animals. With sunshine and a green chemical called chlorophyll leaves make sugar to feed the tree. This is called photosynthesis. As children collect, explain red and other colors are in leaves all year around, but the green chlorophyll covers them up. In fall there is less daylight so the leaves can-

not make as much food. The leaves start shutting down and dying. Finally the leaves fall. Teach children the names and characteristics of leaves. How does a maple leaf look different from an oak or pine? Point out that oak tree seeds are acorns and maple seeds twirl around like helicopters. White pine trees conveniently have five needles or leaves like letters in their name. Red pines have two needles. Look around for cones and examine seeds tucked inside. Most evergreen trees lose some of their needles and grow new ones.

What Else Can We Do?

Pull a leaf out of the collection bag. Can children find one that matches? Talk about the characteristics. Put two different leaves together. Chil-

dren can take pictures of leaves with a camera or phone for a short family presentation about a walk in the woods. At home place the leaves under heavy books or place leaves in a magazine with something heavy on top to press for a day. The next day use a brush to paint the leaves with white glue on both sides and glue them on heavy paper. Glue the seeds, too. Cones can be glued on a cover. When dry, print the tree name or have children say a sentence about the leaf. Punch a hole in each page and tie with yarn or gift ribbon. Place tape around the hole to reinforce it.

Bike accident column generates response Obviously to anyone who drives, walks, rides horses, or rides a bicycle, Jefferson County is a biking haven because there are bicyclists on trails and streets in groups and by themselves. Now with all the response to my article, I am rethinking whether I should give up biking or not. For one thing, when the accident happened I was riding at night, which one reader says never to do. So why should I judge all biking risks on my taking the big one of riding at night when I couldn’t judge the situation very well with the oncoming lights? We all have moments of bad judgement, and this was one of mine that had a serious consequence. (My accident and broken humerus near the rotator cuff ).

Here are parts of email messages I received. I left out the last names since they were personal messages to me. Angie a reader from Lakewood Sentinel said: “Stay on you bike!!! You go girl, keep moving.” Byron, a reader of Arvada Press said “I enjoyed your story and wanted to share

it with a fellow cyclist, but need the link.” (Byron, if you can’t find the story I’ll send you an attachment of it.) Gill, 85 years old, a reader of Golden Transcript gave me a great story about his life. He doesn’t bike, but recommended keeping my body and mind challenged. Thomas, a reader of one of the papers said “Terrific story. Tell Dorothy to skip the gutter cleaning! We found a product called GutterStuff which fits in gutters and allows water to run through.” Jerry, a Lakewood Sentinel reader, suggested I should have braked with my right hand, (probably a mistake I made). He also sent me safety rules and suggested staying off streets and using trails. Forest, a Transcript reader, inspired me with his stories of cross country adven-

tures and how alive they made him feel. He’s written books which I plan to check out. Martin, a regular reader of my columns in the Wheat Ridge Transcript also responded about the difficulty of crossing 44th. I enjoyed hearing from readers and hope I will get more responses to my columns in the future. I will attempt to hit topics of interest to the community. Please send messages anytime. I’m working on a book of my favorite columns from the last 30 years. Will keep readers posted. Mary McFerren Stobie may be out on her bike again soon.

Costs uncertain in 51st-state plan Secession might leave urban areas better off By Burt Hubbard

I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS Colorado could stand to benefit financially and would see some improvement in the educational and economic standings of its remaining citizens if 10 northeastern counties should make good on their threat to secede and carve out a new state of North Colorado. By those measures, Colorado’s attitude might be: Have fun out there, new state! But what’s left of Colorado would also lose half of its lucrative oil wells, much of its prime farmland and some of the lowest crime areas in the state. By those measures, Colorado’s attitude might be: Can’t we just all get along? In addition to the 10 northeast Colorado counties that have a secession vote on November’s ballot, Moffat County in far northwest Colorado also will vote on whether to leave. But Moffat apparently wants to become Baja Wyoming. I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS analyzed census, budget, crime and voter records to develop profiles of a new 51st state and a truncated Colorado. Suffice it to say, Colorado would no longer be considered a square state. And, of course, neither would Wyoming, with its new Moffat County panhandle. Residents of the 11 counties will decide next month whether to start the fraught-with-difficulty political journey to leave Colorado and, in the case of the northeast counties, become a new state. West Virginia was the last state to manage such a separation, in 1863, during the Civil War, a move validated solely by a proclamation from President Lincoln, according to a state website. It isn’t that easy today. One impediment: Colorado and both house of the U.S. Congress would have to agree. But proponents of secession said rural Coloradans are tired of having unpopular laws like stronger gun control and mandatory alternative energy standards forced on them by a Front Range-dominated state Legislature. “What has happened is the urbanization of America has disenfranchised the rural population,” said Jeffrey Hare, one of the organizers of the 51st State Initiative.

Bills caused anger

John Straayer, political science professor at Colorado State University, said bills from the last legislative session appear to have aroused animosity toward the legislature. “In terms of the immediate trigger, guns and probably SB 252 (requiring use of alternative energy resources),” Straayer said. “They allege that it is more than that, not being treated properly by the Legislature on a variety of issues for a long time.” The eventual exodus, if the constitutional minefield could be navigated, would create a North Colorado of about 336,000 people, supplanting Wyoming as the least populous state in the U.S. It would leave Colorado with about 4.7 million residents, dropping it to the 23rd most populous state behind Alabama. One of the key questions is the financial viability of a new state and its impact on the remainder of Colorado. Financially, state government in Colorado would probably come out ahead if the 11 counties left, according to I-News estimates of how much revenue the state receives from the counties compared to expenditures there. The counties generate between $360 million and $400 million yearly for the state in sales tax, state income tax and the state’s share of vehicle registration fees. That accounts for about three-fourths of the revenue Colorado receives from those counties each year from taxes and fees. Extrapolating forward, that would be the equivalent of between $500 million and $560 million in revenue lost to the state from the 11 counties. On the other side of the ledger, the state spends about $520 million in the

I-NEWS AT ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS 11 counties for K-12 school funding, incarcerating criminals from the counties, providing Medicaid, running the courts and the state’s share of running one university and three community colleges. Those costs equal about 84 percent of the state’s overall general fund spending in the secession-voting counties. Extrapolating forward, that would come to total spending of about $620 million. Bottom line: Colorado spends between about $60 million and $120 million or more per year in the 11 counties than the revenue it receives. “There’s still a lot of (state) money coming back to these counties,” said Brian Lewandowski, economist with the Leeds Business School at the University of Colorado at Boulder. By comparison, a similar analysis of Denver showed the county provides more tax and fee revenue to the state than it gets back in state funding for programs. “You’ve got densely populated areas where there is a lot of wealth like Denver County and Douglas County,” said Lewandowski.

Figures in dispute

However, advocates of secession disagree with the I-News analysis and point to their own report that shows the counties break even with state government on spending and revenue. The differences between the two analyses involved spending figures on K-12 education, revenue from the state income tax and severance taxes from oil and gas development. Gov. John Hickenlooper’s office had no comment on what financial impact the secession would have on Colorado. The I-News analysis did not examine how much money the counties currently

receive directly from oil and gas operations. That’s money that would help run a new state. More than half of Colorado’s oil and gas wells would reside in the new state, mostly in Weld. “It’s pretty amazing the amount of dollars that it generates,” Lewandowsk said. Weld County alone gets 55 percent of its property tax revenue from exploration. That has resulted in a current $100 million county contingency fund and no debt, said Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway, a leading proponent of secession who previously was chief of staff to former U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo. During the recent flooding, the county was able to reopen its roads on its own. “We’ve done this on our own,” Conway said. “We haven’t got help from the state.” Not all politicians in Weld County want to secede. Tom Norton, the mayor of Greeley and former Republican president of the state Senate, wrote in a column in The Greeley Tribune last summer that, while some state decisions have hurt rural Colorado, collaboration with the state, not secession, is the solution. Demographically and politically, the two states — North Colorado and Colorado — would look quite different, the INews analysis showed. North Colorado would be predominantly Republican, with the fifth highest ratio of Republicans to Democrats in the U.S. Meanwhile, Democrats in Colorado would outnumber Republicans for the first time in years. “We would have a red state and a blue state,” Straayer said.

Education disparity

The would-be exiting counties are

generally poorer and less educated than the rest of Colorado, according to Census data. College education levels in North Colorado would be on par with those of Tennessee and Oklahoma, while college graduation rates would rise in Colorado to the second highest in the nation. North Colorado would have among the lowest crime rates in the nation, ranking from fifth to 11th lowest among states for rape, robbery, burglary and car theft. Colorado’s overall crime rates would go up, with motor vehicle theft rates almost three times higher than those of the 51st state. North Colorado would have a higher percentage of families among its households, be younger on average and have a higher percentage of Latinos. In fact, the new state would have the sixth highest percentage of Hispanics in the U.S. But its black population would only be about 1 percent, the fifth lowest in the U.S. And then, of course, there are the issues of marijuana and tornadoes. Legal pot would stop at old Colorado’s borders. About half of the state’s tornados touch down every year in the counties that would leave Colorado. Even if approved by the counties involved, secession would appear to remain a long shot, as it would require both Colorado and federal approval. State ratification could come in a citizens’ initiative — such as the one that legalized recreational marijuana — in a referred ballot measure from the legislature, or in an act of the legislature, said Richard Collins, professor at the University of Colorado School of Law. If that happened, it would then need approval by both houses of Congress. In the meantime, the effort has drawn national publicity and its share of political quips. Last month, when Hickenlooper was looking at flood damage in Julesburg, which would be part of the new state, he assured officials there that all Colorado would be working together to overcome the disaster, before quipping, “then you all can get back to seceding.” And Conway could not resist a dig at his two least favorite counties when talking about interest in secession being voiced elsewhere — including in some counties not involved in the current effort. “When we’re done, we might be voting Denver and Boulder off the island.” I-News is the public service journalism arm of Rocky Mountain PBS and collaborates with news outlets across Colorado.
