The long road back Flood repairs continue on Highway 72, across state By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com With winter weather already putting in an appearance, the race is on across Colorado to repair billions of dollars worth of damage to roads, utilities and homes. There are still sections of Highway 72 through Coal Creek Canyon where floodwaters left less than a lane of roadway remaining. Those repair efforts received some political attention this week, as members of the Colorado federal delegation, including Colorado U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall, Congressmen Ed Perlmutter, Jared Polis, and Cory Gardner, as well as state Gov. John Hickenlooper attended a press conference at the base of the Coal Creek Canyon road. The elected officials were gathered to celebrate the passed senate bill that ended the government shutdown as well as increasing the level of emergency transportation funding the state could receive from the federal government, from $100 million to $450 million. “People around this state have rallied, as only Coloradoans can do, to make this a better, stronger state,” Gardner said. Perlmutter, who represents the 6th congressional district, which includes the Coal Creek area, said his niece who lives in Coal Creek Canyon was affected by the floods. He joined with the rest of the delegation to praise the work of CDOT and the construction contractors that were working to repair all state highways by Dec. 1. Perlmutter had unkind words about the

What’s in it for Jeffco? Precise funding for the district is difficult to nail down By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com It is widely accepted that if voters approve Amendment 66 on Nov. 5, the measure will pump at least $71 million of new funding into Jefferson County Public Schools. After that, who knows? There are a number of complexities tied the school finance overhaul ballot question, which makes it difficult for supporters to articulate a “bottom line” dollar figure to uneasy voters. At the same, it’s not uncommon to hear opponents discount nuance when talking about Amendment 66’s involved funding structure, often citing funding percentages that are probably worst case scenario for Jeffco. If passed, the measure would create $950 million in new taxes initially and about $1 billion in 2015 to enact major changes to the state’s school finance formula. The measure would fund full-day kindergarten, preschool for at-risk

Additionally, the measure aims to reduce class sizes and would reform perpupil funding statewide in a more equi-

table fashion, proponents argue. But the overhaul comes with a hefty price tag. Amendment 66 would raise taxes on all Colorado taxpayers. The

Lamontagne top fundraiser in school board race By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Reports show a stark financial contrast in each of the three Jefferson County school board races, with the conservative candidates lagging significantly behind their challengers in the amount of dollars raised, so far. District 2 candidate Jeff Lamontagne leads all six hopefuls in fundraising, having raked in $39,822 thus far, according to financial reports available through the Secretary of State’s office. Lamontagne’s cash haul includes small dollar contributions from Democratic state Sen. Jeanne Nicholson of Black Hawk, former Arvada Mayor Vesta Miller, and several Jefferson County Public Schools teachers and staffers. Lamontage has spent most of the money he has raised so far, but he still has more cash on hand than does his opponent, John Newkirk. Newkirk — who along with fellow Board of Education candidates Julie Williams and Ken Witt make up the conservative wing of the six hopefuls — has raised $4,255, of which $1,902 has been spent. Newkirk received $215 from the Wheat Ridge-based Jefferson County Republican Men’s Club. He also received $500 from for-

mer U.S. Sen. Bill Armstrong and $20 from Jeff Shrader, a Republican candidate for next year’s Jefferson County sheriff’s race. Armstrong and Shrader gave the same amounts to Witt, a District 5 hopeful, who has raised $10,148, of which $7,759 has yet to be spent. Witt also received a $100 donation from Wheat Ridge City Councilman Joseph DeMott. But Witt’s fundraising is less than a third of the amount that has been raised by his opponent, Gordon “Spud” Van de Water, who has $35,380 and has spent less than $4,000. Van de Water received money from Nicholson and fellow state lawmaker Rep. Sue Schafer, a Wheat Ridge Democrat, who contributed $90. A $100 contribution was given to Van de Water’s campaign by Democratic state Board of Education member Jane Goff, while $250 was contributed by Ken Fellman, the husband of Jeffco board member Jill Fellman. Van de Water’s biggest haul came in the amount of $8,166 from the Board of Education Committee, a Denver-based political action group.

Mail-in ballots can be dropped off through Nov. 5. Voter service and polling centers in Jeffco opened Oct. 21. Drop-off locations are listed in the voter ballot packets and include the Jeffco Administrative and Courts Building 100 Jefferson County Parkway, Suite 2560. Voters can now register to vote: • Before Oct. 28 online at www.GoVoteColorado.com • On Election Day in person at any Voter Service and Polling Center

The same group kicked in $3,167 to District 1 candidate Tonya Aultman-Bettridge, who has raised $25,017 in her race against Williams. Aultman-Bettridge’s donors include U.S. Rep. Jared Polis and state Sen. Evie Hudak of Arvada, both of whom are Democrats. Schafer, Miller and Ken Fellman have also contributed to her campaign. Aultman-Bettridge also received $100 each from Tammy Kerr, the wife of state Sen. Andy Kerr of Lakewood, and from the Jefferson County Democratic Party Latino Initiative. Fellow candidates are assisting in Aultman-Bettridge’s campaign. Lamontagne

gave $25 to her campaign, while Van de Water kicked in $100, a contribution that was reciprocated. Aultman-Bettridge has $9,258 cash on hand, more than what’s available in Williams’ campaign stash. Williams, who touts herself as the “conservative choice” in the District 1 race, has raised $5,756, of which only $470 has been spent. Williams’ contributions are primarily small dollar amounts raised from various individual donors. Jeffco voters will weigh in on all three county school board races on Nov. 5, regardless of district boundaries.

Golden Plan project wins funding CDOT approves ramp project at busy intersection By Amy Woodward

awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com Council and city staff’s hard work and dedication is paying off with CDOT approving plans for the Highway 6 and 19th Street intersection on Oct. 17.

The Golden project along with 43 other projects across the state were also approved as part of CDOT’s Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships (RAMP) program totaling $580 million with efforts to expand the statewide transportation system. The intersection project will redesign the 19th street and Highway 6 intersection in which Highway 6 will go under 19th street, with roundabouts, crosswalks and

bike baths added to 19th street. That design is in line with the “Golden Plan” agreement that was approved earlier this year between Golden and CDOT. “We will be getting $20 million from the state,” Mayor Sloan said during the city council meeting on Oct. 17. The money will help to cover 80 percent of the cost for the 19th street and 6th Avenue project, she said. “That is terrific.” “We have a $4 million dollar local match

(for the RAMP funds) and the budget anticipates that we use all of that money,” Jeff Hansen, finance director for the city of Golden said. Last December, the city received close to $3.6 million dollars from a corporation after an audit assessment five years prior landed in litigation. The city then contributed Project continues on Page 20

Metro mayors discuss ways to make communities thrive By Crystal Anderson

canderson@ourcoloradonews.com The theme of cooperation and dedication highlighted the Regional Mayoral Roundtable, Friday, Oct. 18. Hosted by the Arvada Chamber of Commerce and the Jefferson County Business Lobby, the mayoral roundtable brought together five regional mayors to discuss initiatives facing the Denver metro community and the state at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. The event hosted five area mayors — Mayor Marc Williams, Arvada; Mayor Michael Hancock, Denver; Mayor Nancy McNally, Westminster; Mayor Marjorie Sloan, Golden; Mayor Heidi Williams, Thornton — and Gov. John Hickenlooper. The mayors answered questions regarding transportation and the rail systems, prohibition of medical marijuana growers and shops within each community, and homelessness. More than 130 business leaders from across the region attended the event, including past Arvada City Councilwoman, Bernie Burgmaier, who was eager to hear about the state of the community. “I’m really interested in what’s going on in our community and politics in general,” Burgmaier said. The mayors also highlighted the importance of urban renewal programs and how working together, consistently, as a region, makes the community thrive. “It’s a mandate to cooperate,” said Mayor Hancock regarding regionalism, “if we want to fulfill the possibilities of this area, we cannot be mutually exclusive, we must do this together.” Toward the end of the event, the Arvada

Jeffco Schools must provide the education today’s students need for tomorrow’s jobs and careers. Gov. John Hickenlooper addressed those assembled about the facts and realities of Amendment 66. Photo by Crystal Anderson Chamber of Commerce Chairman, Jerry Marks, welcomed Hickenlooper. He spoke passionately about Amendment 66 and discussed the advantages of the resolution. “For the first time in the United States, if this passes, the money follows the child,” he said, “We’re creating a real incentive for teachers and schools to make sure these kids don’t drop out.” Following the governor’s address, Marks honored Arvada Chamber of Commerce President Dot Wright, as this was her last event as chamber president. For attendee Janet Steinkamp, Associate Vice President of Red Rocks Community College, the event was informative and clearly presented the issues that are pressing throughout her community and for her students. “As a newcomer to the community I found it extremely helpful,” associate vice president of Red Rocks Community College, Janet Steinkamp said. “I now have a better understanding of the issues.”

Commissioners review budget for next year County waits on flood recovery costs as demand for services heighten

‘There has been nothing proposed in the proposed budget at this time to dealing with the flood recovery.’

By Amy Woodward

Ralph Schell, county administrator

awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com ‘Tis the season for government budgets. Jefferson County was introduced to a comprehensive proposed budget for 2014 on Oct. 8 with an estimated 2.2 percent overall increase from the 2013 adopted budget. The 2014 proposed budget totals $478.7 million, showing operating and capital expenditures increasing by 10.5 percent from 2013. Predictions for 2014 revenues could be around $372.8 million, not including $87.3 million from interfund transfers. Tina Caputo, budget director for Jeffco, along with Ralph Schell, county administrator, gave a summary outline of the 2014 budget noting some important obstacles including an increase in funding requests from citizens and unfunded mandates from the Jeffco Department of Human Services. Jeffco has a population that has a criti-

cal need for social services, Caputo said. The county continues to balance citizen need with keeping budgets flat, she added. Declining state and federal funding, aging infrastructure, and issues with employee retention were also among the challenges presented to county commissioners. Salary benefits for county staff will increase by 3 percent in the hopes of mending employee morale; staff has not seen a pay increase since 2009. The pay increase will contribute to a total $6.3 million for salaries and benefits. Soon after the floods, Jeffco announced a rough estimate of flood damage throughout the county which totaled around $6 million. Damages are currently being updated as some areas that were closed off to

evaluations are now open. “There has been nothing proposed in the proposed budget at this time to dealing with the flood recovery,” Ralph Schell, county administrator said. “We’ll probably budget something in 2013 based on estimates we’ll get form those people getting those figures for us,” Tina Caputo, budget director said adding she will most likely go back to county commissioners for a supplemental budget. Still, with recovery costs still unknown, commissioners said they will probably remain cautious with expenditures for 2014. “That could have a huge impact on the budget,” County Commissioner Don Rosier said on flood recovery. “As we go through, we need to consider that.”

Townhall poll resulTs Jeffco held a phone town hall conference on Oct. 9, collecting more than 400 county residents’ opinion on the county’s performance and budget preferences. Among the results: • 41 percent reported the county was doing a “fair” job. • 51 percent voted the value of Jeffco services to taxes paid was good. • 30 percent voted against increasing property tax to maintain county services. • 28 percent voted for a $50 annual property tax increase to maintain services. • 40 percent voted that reducing new road projects was their preferred budget cut. • 38 percent voted they would be least willing to see cuts to law enforcement. • 62 percent voted “no” on increasing the number of county commissioners from three to five.

Organizations and county departments seeking funding from the county will be making presentations throughout the month and into November. A final budget will not be approved until late November or early December.

Giving a little means getting back more Golden Civic Foundation readies for annual dinner, auction By Amy Woodward

awoodward@ourcoloradonews. com The Golden Civic Foundation is all about supporting the community and the 35 nonprofits that bring the city together. In its 38th year, the foundation has already contributed $2.5 million to various civic, cultural and charitable organizations since its official establishment in 1970. The foundation’s annual dinner and auction will be Nov. 9, 5 p.m. at the Denver West Marriot Hotel, and to get donors excited about auction, the foundation was able to acquire extraordinary items that are sure to attract a lot of attention. A brand new 2013 Jeep Wrangler will be on the selling block, along with a more unusual contribution came from Cheryl Keydel of Arvada, who has donated adorable mother and son alpacas with a reserved price set at $800. “This baby is just exceptional, he is a beige color but his head is

white,” Keydel, owner of Ancient Treasures Alpaca Ranch said. “He’s just gorgeous.” The three week old alpaca named Napoleon, and his mother Bianca, 4, will be sold as a pair. Alpacas are considered livestock so the lucky winner would receive agricultural status from the IRS. They are easy to keep, requiring feeding twice a day on less than a pound of grass and hay, and some grains as a treat, Keydel said. Kept alpacas need little space to keep them satisfied, and with the right zoning, a half-acre is enough to keep them happy. They are social animals, and get along well with other livestock, too. “They’re just so cute why would you not have them,” Keydel said. Other items up for auction include SCUBA lessons, vacation home stays, hotel and restaurant getaways, clothing and jewelry and much more. Tickets to the event are $90 each, with tables of 10 reserved for $850. “It all goes to good causes,” Marcie Miller, executive director the Golden Civic Foundation said. By taking part in the Golden Civic Foundation, donors are better able to support everybody, she said. “As we’re all figuring out what

Extrasensory is out of this world What it means to have paranormal abilities By Amy Woodward

awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com Paranormal phenomenon is a commonly misunderstood term as the definition is often skewed by pop culture to mean ghosts, mediums and UFOs. Although these topics are an integral part of some of the more popular discussions of paranormal phenomenon in society, the word “paranormal” as defined by Gordon Stein, editor of the “Encyclopedia of the Paranormal,” includes anything that has been explained in a way that uses new forces or new ingredients not established by scientific theory. For instance, Stein reports that “wishful thinking” and the concept of “coincidence” has a paranormal aspect. Scientists have been studying the concept of coincidences, how and why they occur, and developing a theory for them for decades. Alternative forms of health practices such as acupuncture hold a paranormal element, along with the idea of karma, intuition and to the more modern paranormal

Amendment Continued from Page 1

two-tiered proposal would raise income taxes to 5 percent on everyone earning $75,000 or less. 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. But just how much of those tax dollars will end up going to Jeffco schools is a question that nobody can answer at this time. Amendment 66 proponents acknowledge that taxpayers in Jefferson County will not see a 100-percent return on investment, meaning that a good portion of their tax dollars will go to students in other school districts. That’s a key fact that opponents often latch on to when arguing against the amendment. But supporters say that’s the price of doing business when the goal is to have adequate and equitable funding for all children across the state. “This is not just about Jefferson County,” said state Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat

Neil Slade. Courtesy of Paranormal Research Forum fascination of zombies. In the end, paranormal phenomenon is a natural part of the human experience.

Ridge, an Amendment 66 supporter. “I’m looking out for the good of the whole state. We may not get all of the money back, but why not have a generous attitude?”

Total funding will vary

If voters pass Amendment 66, it would restore school dollars back to 2009 levels, before the state cut about $1 billion in funding during the economic downturn of that period. Amendment 66 would bring $71 million in new revenue to the Jeffco school district, which is currently the largest school district in the state. That breaks down to $7,112 per pupil, which would mean a 9.7 percent increase over the $6,486 that the current funding system allows. About $33 million of the spending from new revenue would be mandated, most of it earmarked to support full-day kindergarten and preschool programs for at-risk students. Roughly $20 million of the mandated dollars would provide additional funding to area schools that receive federal funding and that have large numbers of children who are eligible for free lunch programs. Much of the money that Jeffco schools with high “at-risk” populations receive would be spent at their own discretion.

It is the intention of Neil Slade, author, music composer and teacher, to educate others about their natural five senses and transcend those senses into the natural paranormal senses we innately possess, he said. At his presentation, “Expanding Your Natural Senses into Supernatural Senses” at the Paranormal Research Forum monthly meeting at Jeffco Fairgrounds on Oct. 16, Slade gave a brief introduction to brain anatomy, and the paranormal phenomenon of “spontaneous ESP.” The five paranormal senses often spontaneously felt are; clairvoyance, clairaudience, precognition, telekinesis, and telepathy defined by Slade as the ability to know what someone else is feeling. “You’re senses help you to survive,” Slade said. “In my view paranormal senses of telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, clairaudience, and telekinesis … they are also there to help you survive, and they are there to help you survive when your normal senses are not enough,” he said. Slade has spent roughly 30 years studying the brain, after working as a research assistant with Dr. T.D. Lingo for 11 years at the Colorado’s Dormant Brain Research and Development Laboratory, 40 miles west

of Denver. After 35 years, the lab closed in 1993. Since then, Slade has continued to delve into the extraordinary functions of the brain writing at least six books, his latest titled “How to Tickle Your Amygdala.” He has been a regular guest on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and Art Bell. It is Slade’s assertion that it is the noise, and the ego that gets in the way of people being able to recognize a bad business deal. “What you need to do is turn off the static,” he said. Slade discussed basic tips and tricks to calm the mind and tap into paranormal senses, along with ways to develop and exercise the frontal lobe, where paranormal senses come from, he said. He suggested for people to turn off the lights, turn off the sound, close their eyes, stare into the void and wait. “The paranormal visual sense is passive, if there’s a scene that you need to see, an object that you have to be reminded of, it will just come to you,” he said. “We all have access to our paranormal senses all of the time when we need them, Slade said. “They’re not there for us to win the lotto.” For more information on Neil Slade, and his books, along with free downloads go to www.neilslade.com.

“We have smart principals and smart schools, and they’ll use the money appropriately,” said Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson. “They could hire another teacher, have more technology, or bring in more tutoring, whatever.” As for the rest of the $71 million, about $38 million would be up to the district to determine how the money is spent. After that, Stevenon said that Jeffco has the potential of bringing in an additional $31 million into the district by way of other types of funding that will depend on legislative action and the amount of tax revenue that is actually collected by the state. That includes a potential for an additional $18 million in special education funding. State Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, a member of the Legislature’s Senate Education Committee, is a teacher with the district’s 21st Century Virtual Academy, an online middle and secondary school. Kerr, a proponent of Amendment 66, points to another area of funding that the district should expect to see as a result the measure — a chunk of a $100 million education innovation grant program, where teachers and administrators would be able to apply for education project funds. “If we’re funded on a per capita basis, and Jeffco is about 10 percent of the state,

we would get 10 percent of that,” Kerr said. “That’s $10 million.”

What opponents say

Proponents believe that Amendment 66 could end up bringing somewhere between $71 and $102 million into Jeffco schools, money that they say the district needs badly. But opponents believe the return just isn’t worth the investment for Jeffco taxpayers. They say that for all of the talk about money beyond the “guaranteed” $71 million, there is just no way to know how much of those funds will end up here. Because of that, opponents stick to their belief that Jeffco schools will only get back a little more than 50 cents for every dollar that is spent by county taxpayers. That’s based off a calculation where Jeffco would end up paying about $126 million in new taxes. Supporters believe that the district could end up getting back up to 80 or 90 cents for every Jeffco tax dollar, when it’s all said and done. But opponents scoff. “It’s possible we’ll get more money, but that means that Jeffco taxpayers are going to pay more while the percentage remains the same,” said Laura Boggs, a conservative member of the Jefferson County Board of Education.

Café taps current affairs Fostering deep discussion through faith and life By Crystal Anderson

canderson@ourcoloradonews.com Have you been wrongly accused? How do you respond in those situations? These are a few of the questions which guided the conversation during the “Wrongly Accused: A Rush to Judgment” video at this week’s Lifetree Café at Peace Lutheran Church, 5675 Field St., Arvada, CO. Based in Loveland, the Lifetree Café organization presents modern faith and liferelated issues weekly, via a video interview, in a safe, comfortable coffeehouse environment, bringing people together to discuss such topics and share their stories, across the country. “I come because it has interesting, Godcentered, topics that are fresh and relevant,” said Evie Cullman, Lifetree Café attendee and Peace Lutheran Church member. A little over a year ago, Polly Wegner, director of discipleship at Peace Lutheran Church, began hosting a Lifetree Café gathering in Arvada as a way to reach the community outside of her church. “I had heard about it, and thought it’s reaching a different demographic our church may not reach otherwise,” Wegner said, “It’s spiritual, but it’s open and you’re welcome, just as you are.” Each week, around 10-20 people gather at one of two Lifetree Café’s offered

The presentation bounces between video and commentary, asking specific questions to attendees to help guide conversation among tablemates. “I like to think about these events, and this is a safe place where conversation is guided, that helps us get way deep right away,” Wegner said. From hoarding, being wrongly accused to interviews on the paranormal and Christmas baking, Lifetree Café discusses relevant issues and offers attendees a place to share opinions, ideas and build relationships with others who attend. “I’ve met so many people I can give a high-five or a hello to,” Cullman said. “It’s definitely a great way to get to know someone more than a ‘Hi, hey how’s the weather?”

opinions / yours and ours

Smarter systems, not money, help schools Last week, I wrote a little about Peyton Manning, his mastery of systems, and the Common Core State Standards. I pointed out that Common Core, while wellintentioned, is merely another iteration of the assumption that knowledge comes in nice little compartments. It’s the same assumption that most of the current American education system is based on. But that’s not how the brain works. “Smart,” Ed Psych professors tell me, is being able to make connections and see how disparate bits of information link together into a unified whole. Marion Brady champions a type of education based on systems theory, which links all the individual subjects under an umbrella of intersecting uses of knowledge — a unified whole. The great thing is, we know this idea works: D’Evelyn Middle/High School uses a curricular design that is integrated horizontally. According to Terry Elliot, former D’Evelyn Principal, a ninth-grade social studies teacher can make reference to the novel “Siddhartha” while studying Indian geography, knowing that the students will have read that novel in their

English class. Such a design creates a richer, deeper context of learning for the students, which helps both comprehension and retention. And, as exhibit A for this strategy, D’Evelyn was recently recognized as one of America’s Top Schools by U.S. News and World Report. Unfortunately, it’s hard to test an umbrella; “systems” don’t make for easy to implement computer-based testing regimes; and the need to “do something” overrides the difficult discussions of design and system. And so Common Core becomes the default curriculum of the land.

And at the same time, you are being asked to vote to give an additional $1 billion a year to education through Amendment 66. It’s being sold in a well-funded advertising campaign as a “small price to pay” for continued gym classes, and more teacher’s aides in the classroom, and reviving music programs, and the like. Some people will remember just 8 years ago when Referendum C was on the ballot, and was being pushed for just such benefits. At the time, I described it as a “$3 billion fix for an $800 million problem,” but it passed, so everything should have been hunky dorey, right? But here we are again, less than a decade later, being asked to hand out $1 billion per year. As usual, there are those who have pointed out problems with 66, among them the funding formula which returns to Jefferson County Schools just 56 cents for every dollar collected from Jeffco taxpayers. But, again, that mechanism is just a tree; the forest is this: is $1 billion a year going to get us a better system, or does it just prop up the same old system?

Ask yourself, the next time you see one of those very clever ads, are the gym classes relating cardiovascular activity to cellular biology and the physics of work and energy? Are the music students linking the Baroque style of Bach to the flourishes of Gothic architecture and the intellectuals of the Enlightenment? In other words, are we getting a better system? I know that Amendment 66 is not explicitly about Common Core, but they are linked as functional parts of a system. And that system, even with all the tweaks and tests and taxes added over the years, is not serving our children very well. So the question you have to ask yourself, as you cast your ballot in a few weeks, is this: are our politicians and bureaucrats enough like Peyton Manning to make this system work for a mere one billion dollars? Michael Alcorn is a music teacher and fitness instructor who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. He graduated from Alameda High School and the University of Colorado-Boulder.

Our values drive our success One of my very favorite things about being in the coaching, training, and learning and development industry is when I have an opportunity to meet and observe other trainers or facilitators, authors, and subject matter experts. I am sharing this with you because I had a wonderful opportunity to sit in on a session recently conducted by Peter Thomas. His career and accomplishments were extremely impressive, however his presentation was focused on values, and it was his passion and conviction around this topic that really captured my attention. Although he normally delivers the course over two days, the four-hour abbreviated version had a tremendous impact on me and how I see and define my own success. What are my values? What do I value most? Why do I value these things? Intuitively I have understood the importance of identifying my values and their relation to my success and have spent time identifying them in the past and even committing them to writing. Yet during this recent session with Peter Thomas I questioned and even challenged myself a little on how much emphasis I was placing on my own values and was I really living those values. Typically when I teach a class or coach a client and we discuss values I hear words like honesty, integrity, family, knowledge, and other very nice words and strong values. So when I was tasked with working through my own, I came up with about 14 words or values. Then after thinking through them a little more I distilled the list down to seven values and found the other words and values fit better as subvalues or categories. If you don’t mind me sharing, here is what I do value: Faith, Family, Love, Trust, Kindness, Happiness, and Fitness. And the other values that fall somewhere under each one include: Togetherness, Compassion, Time, Quiet Time, Loyalty, Effort, Purpose, Commitment, Wisdom, and Peace, with some of these falling under

more than one major value. Have you considered what it is you really value and why? Success is different for everyone as some define success by

status, money, achievements, and in many other ways. What if we looked at success and measured our success in relation to our values instead of our accomplishments or at least alongside of them? If we compromise our values to achieve status or things, are we truly successful? I know this sounds so philosophical or maybe you see it as wishful thinking. But if you are a little like me maybe, and someone reminded you about the importance of your values, would you take the time to reconsider what they are and how you not only prioritize them but how you just might live them? This was an awesome reminder and I am so grateful to Peter Thomas for his presentation. He has written a book titled “Be Great: The Five Foundations of an Extraordinary Life in Business - And Beyond” and I would highly encourage you to read this wonderfully fresh reminder of all that may just be important in your own life. Are your values in alignment with what you do? Is what you do in alignment with your values? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com because when our values and life are in sync, it really will be a better than good week.

Forum supports amendment By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Hispanic leaders came together in Denver on Oct. 21 to urge folks to support a school finance tax hike that they say will greatly impact Latino students. Colorado Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia headlined a forum at El Museo de las Americas, where he touted the highlights of Amendment 66, a statewide ballot measure that will create $950 million in new taxes annually to fund an overhaul of the state’s school finance overhaul. The money would be used to implement reforms that were put in place earlier this year by the Democrat-led Legislature. The taxes would fund full-day kindergarten, preschool for at-risk youth and pro-

vide more resources for school programs, including those that directly impact English language learners. Garcia, a Democrat, said that the tax hike — which will have a greater impact on tax payers with higher incomes — is a small price to pay to ensure that Colorado remains one of the most highly educated states in the country. “We’re going to go from the second most well-educated state to the first, and lot of those kids that will help us get there will be a lot of our Latino kids,” Garcia said. Growing numbers of English language learners and children living in poverty in counties like Adams and Jefferson would get more funding under Amendment 66. Both Jefferson County Public Schools and the Adams 12 Five Star School district

would receive a 14 percent funding increase, if the measure passes. The districts would also see similar per pupil funding increases. Adams 12 would go from a per-pupil funding base of $6,463 to $7,076, a 9.5 percent increase, while Jeffco would see its per-pupil funding increase from $6,486 to $7,112, a 9.7 percent raise. Amendment 66 would raise taxes on all Colorado taxpayers. It would raise income taxes to 5 percent on everyone earning $75,000 or less. 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.

Guillermo “Bill” Vidal, who briefly served as Denver mayor and who currently is the CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Denver, said that his chamber board supports Amendment 66, regardless of the price tag. “For a business group to support a tax increase is an unusual thing,” he said. Critics say the ballot measure only throws more money at a bureaucratic school system, and that the new formula does not have enough reform or transparency to be effective. Opponents also blast Amendment 66 as a huge tax increase on all Colorado taxpayers at a time when they could least afford it. Not a single Republican voted for the legislation that is tied to Amendment 66, Senate Bill 213.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Clarifications of DDA In response to Mark Heller’s letter, GURA’s comments on funding for the proposed Downtown Development Authority (DDA) perfectly illustrate what is so wrong about this proposal. While admitting that “incremental revenue generated within the existing Downtown Urban Renewal Area has remained with GURA rather than the other taxing entities such as the city, schools, and the county,” Mr. Heller goes on to state that “..this incremental revenue would not exist absent the activities of GURA. Another way of saying this is: but for the activities of GURA there would be no incremental revenue, so the other taxing entities have not lost any revenue since that revenue would never have existed without GURA.” Come on, Mark. Get real. This state-

ment is preposterous on the face of it. Does anyone really believe there would have been no growth in property values downtown since Ronald Reagan was president without GURA? Inflation alone has doubled prices in that time. Undoubtedly more for property values. Regardless of what you think about GURA, the subject here is not GURA – it’s the DDA. And again, does anyone believe that downtown property values won’t increase at all over the next 25 to 50 years without a DDA? Statements like Heller’s illustrate the lack of transparency in this DDA proposal. I love improving the downtown area. But do it honestly. Bring this thing back next year without the “Tax Increment Financing”, or at least make it clear where this money is coming from and not just who’s benefiting, but who’s getting hurt. Tom Atkins

Stone Soup a good lesson, fun with children Have you ever heard of Stone Soup? It’s vegetable soup, a great story, and valuable lesson. Children love to cut, chop, and learn to cook soup. When they are talking with adults in the kitchen, the soup is twice as good. No stone is required. For more ideas to bring families together for fun and learning see www.grandparentsteachtoo.org, www.wnmufm.org, “Learning through the Seasons” . What to Do: Cooking soup is another way to blend children’s learning with required daily activities like preparing meals. These are times to talk, practice math, follow directions, and teach. Take children to the grocery to buy ingredients for soup. Explain how to look for good quality produce and use a scale to measure weight. At home wash hands and vegetables. Gather materials and follow the recipe below. Cut carrots, potatoes, and other vegetables in shapes that children can easily cut with a table knife. Kids’ Veggie Soup Take 2 T oil, 2 potatoes, 2 chopped scallions (adult cut), 1 large chicken soup stock, 2 carrots, 2 celery stalks, 1 chopped red sweet peppers, 2 small cans chopped stewed tomatoes, 1 c cut green beans, 1 c frozen corn, 1 can black beans, 1 teaspoon oregano, ½ teaspoon thyme, 3 T barley, rice, or ½ cup pasta, 1 tsp salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper. Sauté potatoes, onions, carrots, celery, and peppers in the oil for 2 minutes. Add soup stock and rest of ingredients. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to simmer for 30-40 minutes. When the potatoes and carrots are tender, the soup is ready. Stone Soup Story While you are waiting tell the story of

Misleading comments

This in reply to Tom Atkins’ letter published in the Oct. 10 edition of the Golden Transcript concerning the Special Election this year to create a Downtown Development Authority (DDA). Some of his comments are just misleading, including: 1) TIF stands for Tax Increment Financing with the key word being Increment. The proposed DDA budget shows no TIF since there is none today and it will only occur if and when the DDA does work in the Downtown area similar to what the Golden Urban Renewal Authority (GURA) has done over the past 25 years. 2) The property tax base used to determine TIF doesn’t stand still, it is adjusted every two years by the Jefferson County Assessor, sometimes up and sometimes down.

3) School tax TIF is replaced by the State each year via increases in state aid to the school districts. It is known as backfilling. 4) A DDA does not need a declaration of blight (like GURA) in order to provide financial help via incentives for a development or redevelopment project; just a pro-forma that shows that the incentives are needed and will be paid back via TIF. There will be such opportunities in the next 5 or 10 or 15 years and only a dedicated agency like a DDA will be able to take advantage of such opportunities. The City cannot since it is restricted from offering any incentives greater than $25,000. 5) Mr. Atkins doesn’t mention that the sales tax TIF rate is one half of what GURA is getting from the City and that it is not forever and will be frozen in 2029.

OBITUARIES Crisman

Jerry Nell Crisman

June 11, 1928 - Oct 3, 2013

Stone Soup found in almost every culture around the world. Some travelers came to a town where the people did not help each other very much and were unhappy people. The hungry travelers had an idea. They told the people they had a very special stone that made the best soup in the world. They just needed a few ingredients. The travelers went from house to house with their tale and asked each family to bring one ingredient to the City Hall. The traveler’s brought the stone. While people worked together chopping vegetables and adding them to the large pot they had the greatest time getting to know each other. They even talked about solving some of their town’s problems and listed fine qualities of their home. The children especially had fun. When it was done they all shared the delicious soup and agreed the stone was indeed special. Actually people made their own soup very special. Then the travelers sneaked out the door with their stone and walked on to the next town. Esther Macalady is a former teacher, lives in Golden and participates in the Grandparents Teach Too writing group.

“One Summer: America 1927” by Bill Bryson 2013, Doubleday $28.95 / $34.95 Canada 528 pages Your summer wasn’t long enough. For starters, May graduations spilled into June. There were reunions, a July vacation, cookouts in August, work and yard work, ball games, kids’ activities, conferences and yikes, your summer was over before you had a chance to enjoy it. Yep, it was too short – but just how meaningful was it? In the new book “One Summer: America 1927” by Bill Bryson, you’ll read about five warm, highly influential months in history. In the spring of 1927, the biggest rivalry since World War I waged over the Atlantic: France and the U.S. vied to see who could cross the ocean in an airplane first. Daredevils lined up to attempt it; some died trying. There was good news for more staid individuals, however: the Literary Guild started their by-mail bookclub in May of 1927, it was newspaper’s “golden age,” and faux-news tabloids were all the rage. It was a good time to be a reader – especially since TV transmission wasn’t accomplished until later that year. Certainly, baseball was America ’s Game then, and the friendly competition between Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig was on every sports fan’s mind that summer of 1927. People debated over who was the better batter but Harry Stevens, an Englishman, made more money from baseball than did either of them. Money was a big consideration when four bankers met in New York “under a cloak of secrecy” in July 1927. Nobody knows exactly what they discussed, but it’s believed that their decisions led to the Great Depression. President Calvin Coolidge was warned about the crisis to come but because he’d decided, that summer of 1927, not to run again for president, he passed the proverbial buck — though not before taking time to dedicate the new Mount Rushmore. Trials were speedy in the summer of 1927 but the majority of murders went

unsolved (including ones committed by the U.S. government). Henry Ford enjoyed good ideas in Detroit, but made bad ones in Brazil . Boxing and “speakies” attracted crowds, Prohibition made them break laws, and a thin, gangly young man named Charles Lindbergh flew into history… At first glance, you’d be forgiven for wondering why author Bill Bryson chose to write a book about a few weeks in 1927. No wars occurred. No charters were signed. It was just another year, almost 90 years ago. But bite into this brick of a book, and you’ll see that “One Summer” is no ordinary story because that was no ordinary season. Bryson, who is a master of humorously wry understatements, takes readers on a meaningful meander through Aprilto-September when, it seemed, everything happened. We’re given a lively history in perspective, tickled with sneaky observations and small asides, and presented with a little pop-culture something for everyone. I loved every paragraph. Don’t let the almost-500-page size of this book scare you because, once you start it, you’ll have a hard time putting it down. Once you start it, you’ll see that, like most of them, this is “One Summer” that just isn’t long enough. Terri Schlichenmeyer has been reading since she was 3 and never goes anywhere without a book.

DPS student population may pass Jefferson County Numbers still unofficial By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Denver Public Schools claimed last week that it is projected to become the state’s largest school district, overtaking Jefferson County’s student population numbers. But Jeffco officials say it’s premature to make that claim, considering that it hasn’t even released its own enrollment numbers for next year, nor has the state Department of Education signed off on DPS’s claim. Through a news release, DPS boasted that it will have a projected 2013 student enrollment of more than 88,000 students, the highest ever in the urban district. If so, those numbers mean DPS’s enrollment would be larger than what Jefferson County Public Schools has been over the last year few years, which has been near 86,000. The DPS enrollment projection would continue a growth pattern at Denver schools since 2004, but one that has particularly picked up steam over the last few years.

The school district claims that its “enrollment boom is a result of primarily of thousands more families choosing to send their students to Denver’s schools.” “I am very grateful to our teachers and school leaders for their work in driving the improvements in our schools that are driving such extraordinary enrollment increases,” DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg said, through a district announcement. But Jeffco Superintendent Cindy Stevenson said that she recently reached out to Boasberg to express her disappointment over DPS choosing to announce its enrollment projection. “I don’t think it’s appropriate to do that,” she said. “I think you wait until you have the numbers, until they are official. Until then, I think you give that courtesy to the other school districts.” Jeffco has yet to release its own enrollment projections for this school year. Lynn Setzer, a Jeffco schools spokeswoman, said that an assessment team typically obtains a preliminary count sometime in October, before it conducts an internal audit of those numbers. Once that happens, the enrollment figures are sent to the

Department of Education for its own review. Setzer said that providing accurate student population numbers to CDE are important because “enrollment is the primary driver for our state funding.” “We get per-pupil funding,” she said. “You have to prove that the students you are reporting are actually going to your schools, so it’s really important that you have the correct number of students.” Although the numbers released by DPS are not official, its claim that it will surpass Jeffco in overall enrollment comes as no surprise. DPS’s enrollment has been aided by younger families moving into trendy city neighborhoods, such as the Denver Stapleton district. Meanwhile, Jeffco’s enrollment numbers have dipped every year since 2009, which is primarily attributed to a graying population. “It has been projected for several years that our enrollment would remain flat, if not decline a bit, because of the aging population of Jefferson County,” Setzer said.

The Federal government shutdown has stirred some uncertainty among big game hunters, both in state and certainly out of state that have 2013 hunting licenses. There are some understandable questions about hunting area access, possible closure of damaged areas and fear of closure or deferring big game hunting seasons. Governor John Hickenlooper and Acting Director Colorado Parks and Wildlife Steve Yamashita offered reassurances that “Colorado is open this big game hunting season” and Colorado and out of state hunters should not be concerned nor change fall hunting plans. While some federal refuges and military installations are closed, hunters are welcome to other open Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands. Impacted federal lands represent only one-half of one percent of federal lands in Colorado. Over –the-counter rifle bull elk license in over 90 game management units are available during the second and third rifle seasons. The second

rifle season runs Oct. 19-27 and the third rifle season is Nov. 2-10 and licenses for both seasons continue to be available for resident and nonresident hunters. Over and above the federally owned acres of Colorado there is more than 23 million acre of public land. Some include State owned land and State Park and wildlife division owned and leased public lands. Colorado has the largest population of elk of any state with more than 260, 000 elk statewide. Hunting is a valid and helpful game management tool and is supported by the $1.8 billion boost each year to the state’s economy. Unusual Colorado weather this late summer and fall has had a posi-

tive result in developing ample stands of good protective habitat and food sources for big game. At same time early fall snows have concentrated big game herds and moved them out of the rugged high elevation summer range to lower more accessible hunting areas. “Western regions of the state have already shown good hunting results “according to JT Romatzke, area wildlife Manager. It has previously been announced that hunters with licenses in unavoidable closed areas will be offered alternate license areas or dates. In those cases hunters will be contacted by Parks and Wildlife staffers. The season is nearly its mid-point and all indications are the favorable fall weather is combining with the more normal early winter conditions to offer one of the best big game years for both elk and deer success.

Questions regarding hunting area access raised

It’s a bit difficult to imagine a high-end Oriental rug showroom being used as a legit theater, but that’s exactly the case when the venerable Shaver Ramsey Gallery transforms into the stage for Cherry Creek Theatre productions. The magical switch begins about an hour and a half before curtain. Impressive to say the least. The current production “Vigil” transports the audience from a retail sales space to the bedroom of a little old lady named Grace (Patty Mintz Figel). Kemp (Lawrence Hecht) has come to town after receiving a letter from an elderly aunt revealing that she’s dying. The cantankerous Kemp is her only living relative so he goes to sit vigil and wait for her to die. But she doesn’t, much to his consternation. Billie McBride adroitly directs the pair as they navigate their tenuous relationship. The acting is precise much to the credit of the talented trio and the audience is captivated by the priceless interplay between the two actors. Grace says barely a word for a very long time but Kemp has no problem at all in creating his own dialogue. An unexpected twist at the end brings the picture into clear focus. Delightful!

“Vigil” plays through Oct. 27 at Shaver Ramsey, 2414 E. 3rd Ave. in Cherry Creek North. For tix and info, call 303-800-6578 or visit the website at cherrycreektheatre.org.

‘Full Monty’ delights at BDT

Boulder’s Dinner Theatre has a hit on its hands. What started as a British film has morphed into an American stage play that captures the pathos and heart of a group of out-of-work steel workers and their families. When the men learn that most of the women in town, including their wives and an ex-, are going to a male strip show, Jerry (Seth Caikowski) and Dave (Joel Adam Chavez) decide to sneak into the theater to see what all the fuss is about. Jerry is being threatened with losing custody of his son if he doesn’t pay child support so, after watching the women go crazy over the strip-

pers, he hatches a plan to gather several other laid-off guys and put on their own bawdy performance. The dynamics between the men and their families are both heart-wrenching and heart-warming. The talented cast draws in the audience members who will find their emotions ranging from knee-slapping laughter to tissuesrequired tears as the multi-layered story unfolds. As usual, the musicality of the large cast and band shines brightly. Superb job all around. Do leave the kiddies at home for this production as it is rated R. “The Full Monty” plays at Boulder’s Dinner Theatre through Nov. 9 and is, as I’ve said before, one of the best entertainment values around. Guests are treated to a delectable sit-down dinner and members of the cast take on the role of servers. For tix and info, call 303-449-6000 or visit the website at www.bouldersdinnertheatre.com.

West Metrolife Baby, now that was suspenseful

Exhibit invites visitors to be scientists Mythbusters, based on TV show, opens at DMNS By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@ourcommunitynews.com With the clatter of dishes falling to the floor, people squealing as they run (or walk) through rain and the cheers of an audience as a volunteer dodges a paintball makes the newest exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science noisy and lively. Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition, based on the Discovery Channel’s show, opened at the museum on Oct. 11. The exhibit offers more than a dozen hands-on experiments and displays about the more popular myths featured on the show. “This exhibit has a lot of science behind it. It has everything to do with experimenting on your own and learn scientific processes,” said Brian Hostetler, an educator at the museum. “If you’re a fan of the show, you’ll love the props here.” Those props include the coffin from the episode that experimented if a person could survive being buried alive. The coffin has a large dent on its lid, caused by the weight of the dirt pushing down on it. The myth was “busted.” Another large prop, which is outside the actual exhibit, is the 400-pound mechanical shark, used by the show to prove or disprove if a person could poke a shark’s eye if it was thrashing around with that person on its mouth, distracting it so he can free himself. The myth was deemed “plausible.” The main attractions, and the noisiest,

are in the area called The Workshop — where visitors can test their own theories in more than a WHAT: dozen experiments. MythBusters: The “It’s exciting to see fans take Explosive Exhibition on some of our favorite exWHERE: Denver periments from the show while Museum of Nature drawing their own conclusions and Science and data,” said Mythbusters co2001 Colorado Blvd. host Adam Savage in a release. WHEN: Through “Although they are tackling the Jan. 5, 2014 same myths and questions, each INFO: www.dmns. guest can have a unique experiorg ence within the exhibit.” Tablecloth Chaos is an experiment that invites people to try pulling a tablecloth off a fully set table (using nonbreakable dishes) without disturbing a dish.

Media madness or a pregnant pause, perhaps? Was KOSI radio/9News personality Denise Plante pulling a prank on thousands of Facebook friends when she posted a picture of a pregnancy-testing stick she allegedly used on Oct. 16? She let the drama play out as she posted evolving pictures of the stick as it was turning positive or negative. She even snagged 9News medical expert Dr. John Torres to witness the gag. “Am I pregnant? We will soon find out, Dr. John Torres from @9News is in the house!” Plante posted. The plot thickened with pictures of the stick as it revealed her pregnancy status. And the “results?” “Turns out, I’m just a moody momma. Not pregos ... good news for (husband) Michael Plante.”

Lakewood High to ‘Roar’

Congrats to Lakewood High School for winning the “Good Morning America” contest to have Katy Perry perform a song at their high school! More than 2,000 Lakewood High students lip-synched to Perry’s hit song, “Roar,” as part of the school’s video entry. Perry announced the winner on “Good Morning America” Oct. 18. “For me Lakewood really embodied a whole school spirit. You saw so many different people coming together to do one shot,” Perry said Friday. “It was so interesting and so well done.” Amazingly, the video was shot in one take and has been viewed on Vimeo more than 564,000 times and earned 246,000 views on YouTube. 7News first reported the news. Perry will perform at Lakewood High — the home of the Tigers (how’s that for some cosmic karma!) — on Oct. 25 and will be broadcast on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Proceeds from the concert reportedly will go to the Colorado flood relief effort. Check out the video at http://vimeo. com/75058173.

Strings restrung

I’ve been back to Strings once since owner Noel Cunningham died. Since his wife, Tammy, opted to close the place (running a restaurant is not her thing) the building on 17th Avenue and Humboldt had stood like a monument to a time when the restaurant was frequented by celebrities from stage and screen, along with loyal locals. When it was announced that there would be new life stirring in that space with the occupation of Humboldt Farm — Fish — Wine, a Rock Bottom founder Frank Day project, I, for one, was happy to hear of the rebirth. Humboldt opened recently under the leadership of Concept Restaurants. “From the instant our guests walk in and have that `wow moment’ to the time they leave, we want to make sure their

According to Chris Paiz, CDOT project engineer for Highway 72 repairs, “in most cases” Coal Creek’s channel and banks have been reestablished. He said the recent snows did briefly delay paving operations, but that the roadway should be open and fully repaired by the Dec. 1 target date.

“These experiments set the exhibit apart from other museum exhibits that have things behind the glass,” Hostetler said. “It’s very hands on, we invite experimentation. We encourage people to try and fail and try again until they succeed.” The major experiments have introductory videos featuring the Mythbusters to explain a little more about the science behind the experiments. At the end of the exhibit, there is a live demonstration show where some audience members get to test their reaction time against a paintball gun (while wearing protective gear).

$400,000 from the general fund reserves, and the Colorado School of Mines donated $1 million. Dan Hartman, director for Golden public works, will oversee the project and said work to bring in a general contractor started as early as Friday, Oct. 18. “We want the general contractor on board as part of the design process,” Hartman said. He is unable to predict when construction will begin due to CDOT’s efforts around the state to clean up after September’s floods. “How quickly we will be able to turn some of this stuff around … I don’t know,” he said.

The Transcript 21

October 24, 2013

Not fade away: The art of aging well While alive, live. And don’t die until you’re dead. In a nutshell, that constitutes my philosophy about aging well. And I am something of an expert on this subject, because I’m in my mid-60s, and I have no honest choice but to pay closer attention about how not to grow old and about how to not fade away. The art of aging well involves keeping your mind busy, your emotional and social connections vital, your body active (and functioning), your spirit strong, your attitude positive, your sense of joy — and you must retain a sense of wonder. If you don’t do these, you will grow old. (If you do all of these, you will grow old anyway, but more slowly.) Listen to what some wise people have said on this subject: “Old age takes away from us what we have inherited and gives us what we have earned,” says Gerald Brenan. “We do not die wholly at our deaths: we have moldered away gradually long before. Faculty after faculty, interest after interest, attachment after attachment disappear: we are torn from ourselves while living,” says William Hazlitt. “I don’t believe one grows older. I think that what

happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates,” said T. S. Eliot. “Do not grow old, no matter how long you live. Never cease to stand like curious children before the Great Mystery into which we are born,” said Albert Einstein. Most of us have heard the expression that growing old isn’t for sissies. That’s another way of saying that it’s hard to get older. But as we age, we are seen, often for the first time, for who we truly are, because when we were young our good looks, ambition, constant upward striving and the need to prove ourselves — so frequently obscured our humanness. So what do you do in order to age well? First, write two lists. One on the theme

of what you are optimistic about, and the other about what you still want to accomplish or experience before you die. Don’t just think it, write it down, because it becomes more real when we can see it and refer back to it. You’re going to need these lists in order to keep your spirit high and your focus centered on reaching the goals you have for your future. Second, you need friendship and intimate connections with other people. In study after study, people in warm and loving relationships — with spouses, friends, church and/or volunteer groups — are healthier and live longer than those without such social and intimate relationships. Do not underestimate the importance of other people in your life — and pets count also. One way of deepening your relationship with other people is to listen to them, rather than talking about yourself or your own needs and feelings. Another way is to be generous with your time and energy that you offer to others. Sir Arthur Wing Pinero captured it this way: “Those that love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.” Third, separate out what matters from what doesn’t. Don’t spend your time, en-

ergy and life force pursuing trivial things that don’t really matter to you all that much. Be disciplined with yourself. You have less time now and you don’t want to waste it. Elbert Hubbard said it this way: “The secret of salvation is this: keep sweet, be useful and keep busy.” Forth, do something fun at least once a week. Fun keeps us feeling young. Fifth, look carefully at what you could do to improve your health and level of fitness. Finally, find a way to live more in the spirit of appreciation and gratitude for what gifts life has graced you with. “Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made.” Robert Browning

Doctors’ Discovery Helps Diabetics PHILADELPHIA — A team of doctors has found that a new formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives new hope to diabetics. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy. In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy.

Now at:

While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only 28 days, despite being instructed not to change his dietary habits or physical activity. Some patients, under their doctors care, have been able to reduce or eliminate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists say that Cinnatrol actually helps diabetic drugs to work more efficiently. Additional information is available at www.cinnatrol.com. Cinnatrol is available without a prescription at pharmacies and nutrition stores or call 1-877-5811502.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF OCT 21, 2013

crossword • sudoku

GALLERY OF GAMES & weekly horoscope

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A colleague might offer to open a door for you professionally. But before you walk through it, be sure this “favor” isn’t attached to an obligation you might find difficult to discharge. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your creativity, your persistence and your reliability could lead to a major career shift. Be sure to use that other Taurean trait, your practicality, when discussing what the job offers. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A changing situation might require some adjustments you might not have been prepared to make. However, flexibility in this matter could be the best course to follow at this time. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You’re in a period of fluctuating moods, which is not unusual for the Moon Child. Your emotions stabilize by the 25th. Meanwhile, try to hold off making major decisions until then. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) That keen sense of perception helps you hunt down those minute details that others overlook. And, of course, your Leonine ego will accept the expected praise with good grace. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Be careful not to be confrontational when raising a work-related issue. Better to make a request than a demand. And, of course, be prepared to back up your case with facts. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your ego might be hurt when a colleague turns down your offer to help. But accept it as a rejection of your offer, not of you. A friend from the past could re-emerge by week’s end. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A flow of positive energy turns a work project you didn’t want to do into something you actually love doing. Now, take that attitude into your social, intimate life -- and enjoy what follows. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Working hard to meet your professional goals is fine. But don’t neglect your private life, especially where it concerns your more cherished relationships. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) “Patience” remains the key word in dealing with an emotionally sensitive situation involving a close friend or family member. Help comes your way by week’s end. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) With new information coming in, it’s a good time to rethink some of your goals without taking suggestions from others, no matter how well-meaning they might be. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Making progress on your project is relatively easy in the early part of the week. A problem could arise midweek. But all goes swimmingly once it’s resolved. BORN THIS WEEK: Holding fast to your principles, no matter what, inspires others to follow your example. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

pomona falls in overtime Faith Christian wins big again; Green Mountain too By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com Alameda: After finding their mojo over the past couple weeks the Alameda Pirates lost it and a 41-7 decision to Conifer Friday at Trailblazer Stadium. The Pirates had previously won back-to-back games for the first time all season beating Arvada and Summit. However, they were no match for Conifer who scored six rushing touchdowns by five different players. Alameda (2-6, 2-2) will play Evergreen Friday at 4 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Arvada: Desperate for their second win of the season the Arvada Bulldogs were narrowly beaten by Summit 43-34 Friday at Summit High School. Arvada junior quarterback Elias De La Rosa threw for 312 yards and four touchdowns, and senior Jesse Jackson rushed for an even 100 yards and a touchdown. But they couldn’t convert down the stretch and Summit beat Arvada for its second win of the season. The Bulldogs (1-7, 0-4) look to carry the momentum for a tough loss into a win they play D’Evelyn Friday, at 7:30 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Bear Creek: Despite a late game rally the Bear Creek Bears fell to Arap-

ahoe 24-12 Friday at Jeffco Stadium. The Bears fell behind 10-0 but scored a pair of second half touchdown putting them back into the game. However, Arapahoe scored 14 fourth quarter points and held off feisty Bear Creek. The Bears could simply not slow down senior Jose Cancannon who rushed for 117 yards. Bear Creek (3-5, 1-3) will wrap up its season playing Columbine Thursday, at 6 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium. D’Evelyn: The D’Evelyn Jaguars lost a shootout to Lutheran 47-40 Saturday at Trailblazer Stadium. Senior quarterback Connor Mateer threw two interceptions but scored four rushing touchdowns in the loss. D’Evelyn scored 20 second quarter points and then 20 more points in the fourth quarter, but it was the scoreless quarters that did the Jaguars in. D’Evelyn (5-4, 2-3) has lost three consecutive close games. They will wrap up their regular season playing Arvada Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Faith Christian: The Faith Christian Eagles wrapped up their regular season with another blowout victory beating The Academy 43-3 Friday at Faith Christian High School. Senior Jonas Spitzer scored a pair of rushing touchdowns and senior Daniel Langewisch rushed for 117 yards. The win was not only the Eagles’ fifth straight win but it was their fifth straight win by at least 40 points.

Faith Christian (7-2, 4-0) won the 2A Flatirons league title and will now wait on a playoff opponent. Golden: The Golden Demons got hot late but it was too late as they fell 40-20 by Standley Lake Friday at North Area Athletic Complex. Standley Lake scored all 40 of its points in the first half and then went scoreless in the second half. Golden went scoreless the first half but scored 20 second half points. The Demons were unable to carry the momentum from their first win of the season last week into the game against a good Standley Lake team. Golden (1-7, 1-2) will play host power-house Montbello Thursday, at 6 p.m. at Colorado School of Mines. Green Mountain: The Green Mountain Rams struck first and never let up beating John F. Kennedy 42-7 Friday at All-City Field. Junior Chance Boyce and senior Josh Perkins each scored a pair of rushing touchdown for the Rams who ran all over Kennedy for 192 total rushing yards.

Wheat Ridge takes softball title Dynasty extends after near perfect softball season By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com AURORA - To be a proper Farmer one needs to have commitment, dedication and the right tools. If you have all three you have a chance for a blooming crop. But if you then add some swagger and a ton of heart, then you have the 2013 Wheat Ridge Farmers, who beat Erie 4-0 to win 4A state championship Sunday at Aurora Sports Park. Senior Jessica Salbato was near perfect throwing five hitless innings, and she was backed by her high-powered offense that attached Erie early on, and just like that the Farmers have won their fourth state title in the past six years. “I am just really proud of my entire team,” Salbato said. “It definitely wasn’t easy and coach (Marty Stricklett) told us it wouldn’t be. But it feels good to be state champs.” Sophomore Ann Marie Torres, who right now as a sophomore might be the best hitter in the entire state, tripled in the first inning before being driven in by junior Analece Apodaca. Torres then hit a huge two-run double in the fourth inning, as a part of a 3-for-4 two RBI day. But give credit to Salbato, who not only held a Erie team that averaged a state best .441 average as a team to no runs, but she also had key hits in the victory over Erie and a game-tying RBI in the fifth inning of their win over Broomfield which tied the game 4-4. “She is so just tough. She is always posi-

On their road to a state title Wheat Ridge beat Roosevelt 5-0, Mountain View 9-4, Broomfield 9-4 (in a game where they trailed late) and finally Erie. The Farmers wrap up their season 24-1 with their only blemish coming in an 8-3 loss to 5A Standley Lake on Oct. 4. They finished a perfect 7-0 in 4A Jeffco. “We could have gone a perfect 25-0 this

season but we needed that loss to kind of get some things right and put us in check. It would have been fun to go perfect but it doesn’t matter we are still champs,” Stricklett said. More impressively was the fact that at the beginning of the season Wheat Ridge certainly did not look championship worthy. Not only did the Farmers lose all-time great Wheat Ridge players in Morgan Wilk-

ie and Kayla Mathewson, but their first few practices of the season were so sloppy it had everyone concerned. “The beginning of the season was a challenge for us,” Apodaca said. “But we knew we had a good team and we kept getting better and better. And now we are champs.” Stricklett has helped produce and now extend a dynasty more than a half decade long.

Jefferson best in history, might miss playoffs Deserving Saints fighting CHSAA for chance at playoffs By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com LAKEWOOD — The Saints continue to march — only they might not get to in the playoffs despite the record setting season. Their latest win came in a 38-21 victory over Lyon Friday at Trailblazer Stadium giving Jefferson yet another historic victory. On a cold night Jefferson got hot offensively scoring 21 first quarter points and then played good defense to hold off a Lyons team that believed they could knock off the Saints. Senior quarterback Cameron Washburn went 14-for-22 for 258 yards and three touchdowns. And senior running back Jovanni Lucero rushed the ball 20 times for an incredible 169 yards and two touchdown. “We jumped on them early and held off a really good team down the stretch,” Jefferson coach Anthony Rankin said. “It was a good

win for us.” The victory improved the Saints record to 8-1 and 5-2 in 1A/2A Metro league standings. Jefferson is also approaching the best start in the school’s 65 year history of they can finish 9-1. The Saints 4-0 start was also the first time they have started the season with four consecutive wins since 1947. The team also won back-to-back homecoming games since the 1980s. However, Jefferson might again be in line for some tough luck. Last season, the Saints started out 4-3 going into Week 8 fighting for their playoff lives when bad news was delivered. Jefferson was told they had to forfeit all four of those wins due to a player lying about his age on his transcript. So instead of finishing 5-4 in the first winning season since 1996, Jefferson finished 1-8. They used their misfortune as motivation coming into this season and have proven themselves as a force in Colorado high school football. And now this season Jefferson has been told by CHSAA that they may not get voted in

for the top 16 teams to go to the 2A playoffs. The reason Rankin was given for why Jefferson wouldn’t be in the playoffs is because they are a school big enough to play 2A but are in a 1A league (Metro League). If they were to make the playoffs they would be playing up in 2A because they are on a probation period after moving down from 3A to 1A. When a team moves classifications they have to play up a level in the playoffs which would be 2A for Jefferson. The school made the decision to move to 1A after years and years of just getting beat by 50 or more points repeatedly. “I had no say in us moving down as it was done before I had taken over as head coach. We played three 2A schools this season and won all 3. We just played the schedule that was given to us,” Rankin said. Jefferson still has a chance to make the playoffs, as it is still being reviewed by CHSAA. The Saints will attempt to complete the greatest regular season in school history when they play Nederland High School, 1 p.m. on Saturday.
