Giving to the greatest generations Lakewood hosts veterans fair By Clarke Reader

creader@colorado communitymedia.com Veterans are one of the most directly impacted by unemployment and government cutbacks, but Lakewood is offering a free one-stop shop for veterans in need. More than 20 organizations that cater to both veterans and their families will participate in the West Metro Veterans Fair, 2-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 24. The fair will be held at the Lakewood Link Recreation Center, 1295 S. Reed St.

IF YOU GO WHAT: West Metro Veterans Fair WHERE: Lakewood Link Recreation Center 1295 S. Reed St., Lakewood WHEN: Wednesday, Sept. 24 2 to 7 p.m. COST: Free INFORMATION: www.lakewood.org/VeteransFair “We only invited nonprofits who serve veterans, but we have groups coming from local, state and federal levels,” said Scott Hefty, chief probation officer with Lakewood, and a veteran himself. “We have local groups like the Action Center and Fam-

ily Tree, Colorado Lawyers for Colorado Veterans and representatives from the VA (Veterans Administration).” The fair is open to the public and all veterans and their families and will give visitors a chance to learn about benefits, housing options, health care, employment and counseling. “We held an event like this last year and had a great turnout, so we’re excited to host it again and by the support from the community,” said Norm Brisson, court administrator with Lakewood. “We wanted to make sure this year we had organizations that specialize in providing information for caretakers of veterans.” Frederick Davis, retired sergeant of the

U.S. Army, and Dr. Donald K. Winter from the Denver VA Medical Center are the keynote speakers and will talk at 3:30 p.m. Heft said that he experienced the labyrinth of rules and regulations as a veteran and wants to make sure that others know the best way to get the services they need. “There are services available that many may not be aware of, and so we want to provide them with all the information they need in one place,” he said. Brisson added that many veterans are looking for a way to continue their service and help others, and this event will allow them to do just that.

Awareness in the air

Free to Breathe spreads word about lung cancer By Clarke Reader

creader@colorado communitymedia.com

f you have lungs, you can get lung cancer. It’s a simple message, but the stigma that the disease only affects smokers has hampered countless sufferers from getting the proper care and the public from funding research to the level it deserves. Few know this better than Teresa MacKillop, a Lakewood resident who lost both her mother and sister to the disease within the past decade — nonsmokers who had limited exposure to secondhand smoke. “My goal is to raise awareness and get rid of the harmful stigma,” MacKillop said. “No one deserves to die like that — it’s horrible for everyone.” In the honor of her family, the other lost and those still fighting, MackKillop is working to spread the word about the 5th Annual Denver Free to Breathe 5K Run/Walk. The race will be 7:30 to 10:15 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 5 at Washington Park, 701 S. Franklin St. Denver. “Free to Breathe does events all over the country with the goal of doubling lung cancer survival rates by 2022,” said Annie Walsh, event co-chair. “We have

Participants in the Free to Breathe 5K Run/Walk are participating to raise funds for lung cancer research. Many, like Lakewood resident Teresa MacKillop, have lost family to the disease.

son at the behest of her mother. Since then she has been swept up in a desire to spread the word and has gotten the rest of her family and coworkers involved as well. “People get the disease from environmental factors, from genetics — there are all kinds of ways,” she said. “I want people to be energized to raise money and fight this.” Walsh said lung cancer is one of the most dangerous forms of the disease — in particular, it claims more women’s Air continues on Page 5

Colorado Sen. Mark Udall and fellow Democrat candidates on the November ballot held a rally Friday afternoon, marking the kick-off of their ground campaign, bolstered by a visit from Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. More than a hundred volunteers and spectators filled the Wheat Ridge campaign office of Congressman Ed Perlmutter, DGolden, for the event. “It’s time to get the word out!” Udall said to the crowd, many of whom had come to the rally to receive initial training on volunteering for his campaign. Udall noted that mail-in ballots will be sent out in October. Udall helped introduce Warren, calling her “a fearless advocate for consumer protection,” and touted his work with the Massachusetts senator on the issues of credit protection and college loan affordability. The warm welcome for Warren, a highprofile advocate for financial reform and progressive causes, comes two months after a visit to Denver by President Barack Obama. In contrast, Udall stayed in Washington D.C. during the president’s fundraising event in his honor, a move seen as trying to limit his association to a president with struggling poll numbers. At Friday’s rally, the Democrats presented a unified front against Udall’s Republican opponent, Corey Gardner. Warren praised Udall as a “fighter” for the middle class, and especially women. “Corey Gardner believes women are doing just fine. They’re worth 77 cents on the dollar. They can make ‘most’ of their own health care choices,” Warren said. Colorado U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and Perlmutter also spoke. The senate race between Udall and Gardner is seen as one of the most competitive in the nation, and could be pivotal in deciding political control of the Senate come November. In response to the news that Warren would be stumping for Udall, the National Republican Senatorial Committee released a statement, criticizing Udall for aligning himself with her “extreme agenda.” The statement specifically noted Warren’s opposition to the Keystone Pipeline and support of a European-style health care system. “Democrats in Washington have panicked and are calling in the cavalry to save Mark Udall, who’s running a stale and tired campaign,” said NRSC Press Secretary Brook Hougesen.

Opportunities out of the ‘oops’ “This could be the worst disaster NASA’s ever faced.” “With all due respect, sir, I believe this is going to be our finest hour.” I just happened to be flipping through the channels the other day, when this scene from “Apollo 13” jumped off the screen at me. Not only is that scene remarkable for the intensity of its acting, but because that line so effectively expresses something I believe. Maybe that struck me last week because of a new study I read about. Researchers at Northwestern University discovered that the study of music is very effective at closing the achievement gap. That’s right — music, according to this study, has the ability to make minority students perform better at reading and math. Oh, and, um, yeah — those of you who have been reading my columns for a while now? Yeah, this is going to be one of those weird trips through the catacombs of my mind. Okay, so, how do those two things

relate? One of my firmest beliefs about music, and one of the reasons I believe it to be such an important field of study, is that it is not an art of the perfect. That is, music is a live performance art, and, as such, is subject to the vagaries of human execution. So, whether it is your local school band or the New York Philharmonic, every performance will have imperfections. Granted, the mistakes committed by the members of the Philharmonic will be less obvious than the mistakes of your local school band, but, if you ask the members of the Phil after a concert, they would name a dozen different things

(none of which you likely noticed from the audience) that went wrong. On the other hand, what a gift! That means that no two performances are ever exactly alike, which creates an amazing opportunity to make real art. So if it is not an art of the perfect, then what is music? I tell my students that music is an art of recovery: you know things will go wrong, but how you respond — how quickly and how adroitly — dictate how much those mistakes will affect the audience’s experience. Really good musicians make few mistakes to start with, but the ones they do make, they compensate for so quickly that the audience rarely knows they happened at all. Learning, too, is an art of recovery. I know very few students who get everything right the first time. Many students, when faced with that, accept it as part of the process and work their way towards getting things right. Some students, when faced with that, give in to their frustrations and stop moving forward. Does that explain the achievement gap? I don’t

know—I don’t even know if that particular question has ever been studied. Maybe. Turns out, life is an art of recovery, too. As we strive towards higher and greater destinies (like the moon), the opportunity for mistakes expands exponentially. Our ability to adapt and cope when things go wrong goes a long way towards dictating whether we have a chance to realize our dreams, or if they remain just that— dreams. The crew of Apollo 13 and those with them on the ground found a new gear of creativity and execution to bring that ship home safely. And so, sometimes, do we need to, also. So dream big! Strive, struggle, learn to adapt, and move forward—always move forward. Your finest hour is somewhere out there, even with disaster lurking in the shadows. 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.

Lakewood Police Department’s Explorer Program “It’s a terrific event and great public outreach for the police and us at the Clements Center,” said Dave Appel, senior services support specialist at the center. “Everyone has a good time with it and while we use it as a chance to showcase some of the things we have to offer for Lakewood’s older resi-

dents, it’s an event for all ages.” Attendees will get a pancake breakfast cooked by members of the police department and get a chance to learn more about the Explorer Program. According to Al Williams, police volunteer coordinator, the Explorer Program is based in the Boy Scouts of America and gives young adults, ages 14 to 21, a chance to learn about law enforcement careers. “It gives teens a better understanding of what our police do and we have had several participants go on to careers in law enforcement,” Williams said. “They will also learn a lot about leadership in the program.” In the classroom, explorers learn about the various aspects of policing, including officer safety skills, community policing, investigative techniques and physical fitness requirements. In the field they will learn about community events, assist with tours of the department, assist with traffic

West Metro Fire and Rescue announced that it will pursue the cutting of $2.1. million in budget cuts to stave off budget constraints due to lagging tax revenues and the failure of a new mil levy to pass. The cuts will include apparatus closures, reallocation of personnel, civilian layoffs and demotions. “We looked at a lot of data sets from things like call volume and use, and these are the places we decided to diminish capacity a little,” said Chief Don Lombardi. “People could see longer response times in some cases.” According to information provided by West Metro Professional Firefighters, the changes result in the demotions of 20 uniformed personnel and the total loss of 22 uniformed positions. There will be seven fewer firefighters on the streets every day. The District will be permanently closing Engine Company 14, with three firefighters, which responded from Station 14 in Ken Caryl. Station 14 will still house an aerial apparatus, Tower 14, which will now be responsible for running all calls from Station 14. The District will also no longer fully staff its Heavy Rescue unit, Lombardi said, which responded to all structure fires and technical rescue calls throughout the District with four Firefighters from Station 4 in Green Mountain. The Heavy Rescue will now be cross-staffed by an Engine company out of Station 4. “These cuts are just going to affect the nearby area but the entire district,” Lombardi added.

LAKEWOOD NEWS IN A HURRY Brammeier charged with first-degree murder

The District Attorney’s Office has charged Charlie Robert Brammeier, 30, of Lakewood, with nine counts, including first-degree murder, in the death of 43-year-old Timothy Gomez. On Aug. 14, Brammeier was charged with the assault and robbery of Gomez, alleged to have occurred on Aug. 4. Gomez later died from his injuries. The original case was dismissed and the new case accusing Mr. Brammeier of first degree murder was filed on Aug. 25. Brammeier has been charged with: First Degree Murder after Deliberation (F1); First Degree Murder - Felony Murder (F1); Aggravated Robbery ( F3); Second Degree Burglary (F3); Aggravated Motor Vehicle Theft (F4); 4 counts Crime of Violence (sentence enhancer). At 11:45 a.m. on Aug. 4, Lakewood police responded to a 911 call from Dannette Maes saying that her roommate had been

assaulted at their home. Police went to the home at 1250 S. Pierce Street and found her roommate, Gomez, seriously injured and lying on the couch. Gomez and Maes lived at the house on S. Pierce Street along with two other roommates. Maes was associated with Brammeier and had invited him over to the house on the night of Aug. 3. According to court documents, Maes said that she thought Brammeier left the house at 2:30 a.m. Aug. 4. Maes said that she was awakened at 11:30 a.m. by another roommate who said that Brammeier had assaulted Gomez. She saw Gomez on the sofa and as she was dialing 911 she saw Brammeier come back into the house, take something from Gomez and then drive away. Gomez was transported to the hospital where he was treated for a serious head

Candidate Neville hard at work Republican candidate faces off Nicholson in Senate district By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Tim Neville is a big supporter of selfdirection. Growing up in Florida with three other siblings and raised by a single father after the unfortunate passing of his mother at an early age, Neville learned quickly about going without and working hard to get the things he wanted out of life. “I think the opportunity that I had as a young man was to identify the fact that if I needed to do it, I could do it and that basi-

cally built upon itself and gave me a lot of self-confidence,” he said. Even his website reads, “Hard work, sacrifice, and dedication should be rewarded, not taxed and regulated to death by the government.” In 2011, he was appointed to fill a vacancy in Senate District 22 after Sen. Mike Kopp-R-LittleNeville ton decided to step down to look after his children after the death of his wife. But the opportunity was short lived after the Colorado Reapportionment Commission approved district maps that same year which drew Neville out of Senate Dis-

trict 22 and placed him in Senate District 16 with Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk. After waiting for three years, Neville is the Republican candidate for SD16 against Nicholson, who is campaigning for a second term. Neville, a small business owner of an independent insurance company, is campaigning to reduce regulation on small business owners. He is also proposing to minimize taxes and limit government spending. “I came to Colorado in1977 because it was a great place, a lot of opportunities,” Neville said. “They didn’t really care about your background as much as they cared about what you could do and what you were willing to do to work,” he said. “What I’ve seen is changes in Colo-

rado that have basically taken away some of those opportunities and some of those changes have to do with our political structure and some of the laws and regulations that have been passed.” Although he wasn’t able to keep his seat in HD22, Neville backed a few pieces of legislation including a juvenile direct file reform bill which provides due process to youths. House bill 1271 allows juveniles the right to a hearing and judicial review. The bill passed with bi-partisan support. “I think it is important that people are looked upon as what is their potential opportunity to society as opposed to basically warehousing people that shouldn’t be in that situation.” For more information about Neville visit www.nevilleforcolorado.com.

Cash advantage goes to Hickenlooper By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper has raised more than four times as much money as former Congressman Bob Beauprez in the two rivals’ gubernatorial campaign dash for cash. Hickenlooper has raised $4 million to Beauprez’s haul of about $828,000, according to the latest financial disclosures from the campaigns. Hickenlooper’s cash advantage was helped by the $545,791 that was donated to his campaign during the reporting period of July 27 through Aug. 27 — the incumbent governor’s largest single-month haul. Beauprez raised $223,510 during the recent reporting period. Hickenlooper campaign spokesman Eddie Stern attributes the fundraising success to an economy that is gaining steam, thanks to lower unemployment and 33 consecutive months of job growth. “We are humbled by the amount of support we’ve received from people across Colorado,” said Stern. Beauprez campaign spokesman Allen Fuller isn’t impressed with Hickenlooper’s

cash haul. “Every day it seems like there’s another example of why John Hickenlooper isn’t fit to lead Colorado,” Fuller said. “He’s going to need every dime he can get.” The Beauprez campaign has hammered Hickenlooper on areas of “failed leadership,” which they hope will resonate with voters. They include attacks on Hickenlooper’s evolving position on the death penalty. The Beauprez campaign has been highly critical of Hickenlooper’s decision to grant an indefinite reprieve for death row inmate Nathan Dunlap. Rather than punching back, the Hickenlooper campaign continues to run positive ads. The governor’s healthy cash haul has allowed his campaign to purchase $1.7 million in all-positive television advertising for September and October. The Beauprez campaign is being helped by $1.8 million in advertising spending from the Republican Governors Association. After spending is factored in, the Hickenlooper campaign has $760,427 cash on hand to Beauprez’s $334,365.

Nicholson prepares for round two By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com It’s been a successful term for Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Blackhawk of Senate District 16. So successful in fact that she’s running in the 2014 election for another four years. “I’m not done,” said an exuberant Nicholson. “I still have things I want to work toward.” She’s been the prime sponsor of 68 bills during her incumbency, each passing with 95 percent bipartisan votes. There are perhaps three bills that have failed completely that she can recall. “(It’s) very unusual for my bills to fail,” she said.

While experience has introduced her to many problems facing the state and especially within her district which includes the city of Golden along with all of Gilpin County and portions of Boulder county, and Rocky Flats, she is refining her focus to health care, wild fire mitigation, job creation and the economy in her prospective second term. Sen. Jeanne “The people in my disNicholson, trict when I am walking SD-16 door-to-door tell me three things are important to them; that they are safe, financially secure and healthy,” Nicholson said. Wildfire mitigation and funding fire-

fighter safety has been a focused discussion with Nicholson as the passing of Senate Bill 46 this passed legislative session shows. The bill created a local firefighter safety grant program that provides staff with appropriate bunker gear, equipment and training. The program is set to receive $3.25 million for the next five years for which local departments and districts can apply for. “We’re on the right path I think but we are not there yet and all the things that we can accomplish,” she said. Nicholson is looking to use slash and forest floor debris by implementing the use of wood products to heat city buildings which mimics the same successful project she led in Gilpin County while serving as county commissioner. A city Road and Bridge building located in Gilpin is cur-

rently heat by wood chips using a specialized broiler that burns at high temperatures resulting in more steam stacks than smoke stacks. The program, according to Nicholson, is saving money, reducing fossil fuels, creating local jobs for loggers and reducing wood product on the forest floor. Emphasis on early childhood development and education are also on the forefront of Nicholson’s campaign which has peppered her list of legislative accomplishments notably her favorite piece of legislation; SB 34 that requires WIC educators to become mandatory reporters of suspected child abuse and neglect. “I serve everyone,” she said.

Lakewood Man Charged for Taking Video of Women in Tanning Beds

Charges have been filed against Brandon Alexander Hansen, 36, of Lakewood, accused of breaking into tanning booths at a Lakewood tanning salon and secretly taking video of unclothed women while they were tanning. Hansen was arrested by Lakewood police on Aug. 19. On July 28, Lakewood police were contacted by the Denver Police Department regarding Hansen. A Denver police investigation involving Hansen revealed information that included numerous videos of unclothed female customers in tanning beds during tanning sessions at a tanning salon in

Lakewood. According to court records, each of the women was in a private booth with the door closed and secured. The District Attorney filed the following charges against Hansen on August 26: 11 counts of Second Degree Burglary (F4); 14 counts of Invasion of Privacy for Sexual Gratification (M1); and Violation of a Protection Order (M1). Investigators have identified nine adult women and one 17-year-old female who are believed to have been videotaped while tanning. The protection order violation stems from an existing court order prohibiting Mr. Hansen from having a weapon. While executing a search warrant, police found a weapon in his home. Hansen posted $50,000 bond on Aug. 21. He is due back in court on Oct. 1.

GERARD HEALEY President MIKKEL KELLY Publisher and Editor GLENN WALLACE Assistant Editor CLARKE READER Community Editor

Why I can’t unsee what I’ve read about 9/11 I haven’t watched the videos of the recent slayings of American journalists. I’ve read the news accounts and the still photos are horrific enough for me, and I knew that I could never unsee it. But in the theater of my mind, I did see it; in fact, I see it over and over. I see it because I’ve read accounts in the news about what happened, just as I did about the Aurora shootings, and Jessica Ridgeway’s abduction, and the transports and death camps of the Holocaust. I wasn’t a physical witness to any of these, and yet I can see, I can see, I can see these wicked events taking place. Such is the power of words. In September especially, but often throughout the year, my mind returns again and again to the images of the Twin Towers. Like most of us, I watched first in disbelief, then in growing horror, anger, and helplessness. Because of the immediacy, even 13 years ago, of real-time news reporting, I watched September 11, 2001, unfold as I was clustered around a television with dozens of coworkers. The planes, the fires, the collapsing buildings … all seared into our shocked and grieving collective consciousness. I don’t remember if I watched this next part actually taking place, but I’ve seen the photographs of people leaping from

the flaming buildings, caught by the still frames of a camera. And as much as these images haunt me, it’s what I have read that frequents my memory and deepens my sorrow on Sept. 11. I’m referring to a critically acclaimed poem by Brian Doyle, titled “Leap.” Doyle’s opening line, “A couple leaped from the south tower, hand in hand,” sets the scene. If you search the Web for this topic, as I did for this column, you’ll find that some people think the images of a man and a woman holding hands as they fell are a hoax, claiming the pictures are photoshopped. But Doyle relies on eyewitness accounts from people who did the seeing – not just of this couple but also of others, very real people forced to make those harrowing desperate choices. Doyle gives us descriptions from horrified spectators, descriptions made even more chilling in their spare language:

“people ‘leaping as they flew out.’” And “‘falling over themselves’ … ‘too many people falling.’” Doyle also relates the events on the streets below, where pedestrians and a firefighter were killed “by people falling from the sky.” Doyle ends the poem by speculating about the moments leading up to the hand-in-hand plunge. To paraphrase: did they know each other…friends, colleagues? Or were they strangers “thrown together at the window at the lip of hell,” strangers who “held on tight, and leaped …” Through these unblinking words, I make more of a human connection with the victims than I ever could by watching videos or viewing photos. And it’s because I have read “Leap” that I can’t unsee their desperation, the agony in their final acts. But perhaps that’s what needs to happen, so that these victims, too, will never be forgotten, to keep this tragedy in the theaters of our minds. Such is the power of words. Andrea W. Doray is a writer who, not surprisingly, sees things in words. You can find “Leap” at PBS.org, and can hear Brian Doyle read his work on YouTube. Contact Andrea at a.doray@andreadoray.com if you would like the links.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Suspended Bronco belief? We asked folks in Denver if they think the Denver Bronco’s chances at a successful season are diminished on the heels of the NFL suspensions of Wes Welker and Matt Prater.

“Of course we’re going to feel their loss, but not enough to keep us out of the big game at the end of the year.” Aaron David, Denver

“It will impact them. But, as a Vikings fan, I can tell you that Denver is going to be a lot better than us either way.” Kristen Rennerfeldt, Denver

“Personally, I don’t care because I’m a 49ers fan. However, as a fantasy football aficionado, I own Emmanuel Sanders and I kind of planned for this.” Michael Hess, Denver “It won’t derail their season. It’s just a disappointment to the fans.” Tad Rickards, Denver

September 11, 2014

Get success down to a tee Whenever we give someone a task or project to complete and we don’t provide them with the right tools, support, environment or expectations, it can be said that we are setting that person or that team up for failure. This happens in the business world just as much as it happens in our personal lives, doesn’t it? We see it happen when we make rash decisions, hire staff without providing the proper onboarding or training, and when we set unrealistic goals. As a matter of fact, setting people up for failure has become so commonplace that we now look at it frivolously or use the failure as the brunt of our jokes and usually at the expense of at least one person or team. Maybe failure has become easier than success. I mean, it’s easy to look into the future and predict what we will never achieve or cannot do as opposed to being forward-thinking and looking at what we can accomplish. And not only what we can accomplish but what our new hires, teammates, friends, and co-workers can achieve. And I think that setting the stage for success can be just as easily done as it

is to set someone up for failure, and save us tons of time, money and resources. Have you ever heard it said, “Teed up for success?” The ball is sitting on the tee, no wind, wide open fairway, and it is just so simple to imagine a smooth effortless swing that sends the golf ball soaring beautifully straight down the middle of the fairway. But you see, the ball landing safely in the middle of the fairway is the result of hard work, practice, coaching and commitment. And whether we are talking about the professional golfer or the weekend amateur, when we think about being “teed up for success” we have to remember what that actually means and the hard work and dedication it took

to get there. Imagine just the opposite, we invite a friend or associate to a round of golf, they share with us they have never played before or it has actually been years since they have even swung a golf club. But since we really want to play and we need someone to round out our foursome we tell them not to worry, all will be well and we will just have fun. And then what do we do, we tell our friend, and maybe now former friend, that we are teeing off from the back tees, we have them using rented or borrowed clubs, and we forgot to tell them to bring enough golf balls. Fastforward to the sixth hole and our oncea-summer golfing friend is completely frustrated and maybe even embarrassed, he or she is dreading the back nine, our other golfing buddies are tired of playing a slow round, looking for golf balls after every shot, patience is wearing thin, and now they too are dreading the back nine. Everyone was set up for failure. The very same thing happens in sales, in management, in the chores we give our children, in the homework that is assigned, and in new tasks and projects

in companies and organizations all over the world each and every day. And it is so easy to point the finger of “I told you so” instead of taking the time necessary to equip everyone with the proper tools and support, guidance and coaching, and appropriate setting of expectations to set the stage for success instead of failure. Setting good goals, setting stretch goals, keeping them realistic, and taking the time to help others get teed up for success may seem like it could be timeconsuming, but I can promise you that it takes far less time and energy when we compare it to the costs of setting people up to fail. Are you teed up for success? Have you set the stage for others to succeed? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when the stage for success has been set, it will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Can we talk about Joan Rivers? Last Saturday, I discovered my neighbor and I had something in common. We both loved Joan Rivers, the famous comedienne who died recently. “I miss her,” I said, my eyes watering. “She was hysterical, she made me laugh. There’s no one to replace her.” In Anna’s kitchen we were eating coffeecake and sharing a pot of black coffee. “Her gossip about celebrities tickled me,” my neighbor said. She dabbed her eyes with a tissue. “She made it sound like her many plastic surgeries were a lark,” I said. “Like she was having a laugh-in. Then ironically she died during a more routine surgery.” Anna said, “I thought about plastic surgery. I’m a wimp — the pain, the healing time — it’s not for me.” I mopped up my tears of grief with a napkin. “Rivers joked that when she died she’d had so much plastic surgery her body would be donated to Tupperware. I heard the Tupperware people are coming to her funeral to steal her body for a publicity stunt,” she added. We both laughed. In spite of her insults and wisecracks, Rivers had a warmth, a caring expression in her eyes, and she listened to people. She chose topics we could all relate to — sex, clothing, and celebrities.

“She graduated from Barnard in English Literature but never put on airs that I could see,” I said to Anna. “We need more funny women,” Anna said. “Wasn’t she the first woman late night talk show host?” “Yes, Johnny Carson had an eye for talent. He used her as a guest host. Then when she got her own show, Carson never spoke to Rivers again,” I said. “As tough as she appeared, she could be hurt,” Anna said. “Don’t some people say women can’t be funny? She sure broke that barrier.” After spotting the book “Diary of a Mad Diva” by Joan Rivers on the table, I nabbed it. “I want to read this,” I said. “Can I borrow it?” “Sure as soon as I’m done with it,” she said. “I’ll get it back to you this afternoon,” I pressed the book close to my heart.

Anna leaned across the table and tugged the book out of my hands. Without thinking, I crashed across the table and snatched the book back from Anna, spilling my coffee. “Sorry, Anna, about the spill, but I can’t help myself.” I flipped the book open and obnoxiously read out loud about how Rivers liked to watch the losers at the Golden Globes ceremonies. I said, “Rivers describes the feelings of joy, she got watching narcissistic actors pretending to be happy for someone else. She says she tingled all over.” “I’m getting annoyed!” Anna said. She ripped the Diary of a Mad Diva away from me and ran into her bedroom and

slammed and locked the door. “Sorry, Anna,” I called out. “You should be,” she shouted. I wiped up the coffee and left. Now that I’m home what can I say about my crazy behavior with Diary of a Mad Diva? Joan Rivers you little rascal I hadn’t realized how much I liked you until you suddenly died. Could you cancel that surgery, rewind everything, and come back to life? Darn it, I will dearly miss you. Mary Stobie writes on various subjects, but her favorite subject is comedy. The story of the tug-of-war is, itself, a bit of fun. If you liked Joan Rivers, or any other comics, please contact Mary Stobie at mry_jeanne@ yahoo.com

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Vote yes on 2A On July 14 the Lakewood City Council passed a ban on cultivation, testing, and manufacture of marijuana in Lakewood and on hash-oil and smoking clubs. The council left the critical issue of banning retail sales of marijuana up to a vote of the people in November on ballot issue 2A. This vote does not affect medical marijuana outlets. Retail sale of marijuana is the activity that would most adversely impact the community and increase marijuana exposure to children and youth. One in six children who try marijuana at least once become addicted. It is up to us, Lakewood residents, to keep marijuana retail sales out of Lakewood by voting “Yes” on 2A. Medical marijuana approval in Colorado provided a “live experiment” relative to the impact marijuana legalization has on kids. Medical marijuana in Colorado was intended for those with a medical need, but its misuse and redirection to youth is now a matter of record in Colorado (and other medical marijuana states). In Denver between 2004 and 2010 the increase in marijuana use among 12-17 year olds was 8.6 times or 860-percent over the increase in use nationally. Use among youth increased because (1) legalization fostered the perception that marijuana is safe, and (2) in many cases medical marijuana card users / abusers supplied it to youth. The adverse affects on youth are serious, as evidenced by medical testing and actual behaviors. Medical research studies show that the greatest adverse effects occur in young people and those effects include brain abnormalities, loss of memory, loss of ability to reason, and a potential for psychosis.

This is reflected in many “post medical marijuana” performance measures of Colorado children. In Colorado, for example, there was a 230-percent increase in kids with pot related charges being admitted to a juvenile facility from 2009 to 2013 and pot related school expulsions increased dramatically (40 percent, in 2009-2010) after medical marijuana went actively on the market. Further the marijuana industry even puts out highly potent marijuana edibles in forms attractive to young children, e.g. gummy bears and brownies. In addition to the potential adverse effects on youth, the presence of retail marijuana shops would demean the respected character of our city and degrade the commercial areas they would occupy. There are many good reasons to prohibit marijuana retail sales in Lakewood. Here are 5 to consider: Banning marijuana from our city sends a message to children that marijuana is not safe. Keeping marijuana sales out of Lakewood will help reduce the access and We are community. availability of Marijuana to Lakewood youth. The respected character of our city will be maintained. Our commercial areas, like Belmar, would not be degraded by the presence of marijuana outlets and the unpleasant air they create and the trouble they would indeed attract. Lakewood would make a statement about being committed to protecting our city’s safety and quality of life and in so doing would maintain or increase home values and attract business. Please vote “Yes on 2A” to make it unlawful to operate a retail marijuana store in Lakewood. Larry Von Thun, Lakewood Your Community Connector to Boundless Rewards

JEFFCO BOARD OF EDUCATION ON THE RECORD Jeffco Board of Education: On the Record The Jefferson County Board of Education discussed the following legislation during its Sept. 4 regular business meeting. Board members in attendance were President Ken Witt, First Vice President Julie Williams, Second Vice President Lesley Dahlkemper, Secretary John Newkirk and Treasurer Jill Fellman.

Compensation Model Approval

The board of education approved (3-2, Witt, Williams, Newkirk) a proposed compensation model for licensed employees. The new model (http://goo.gl/dlS3uW) would raise the district’s entry-level salary to $38,000 and provide a 2.6 percent increase to all licensed employees within the district. Proposed by Board President, Ken Witt, during the Aug. 28 regular meeting, the model would ensure effective and highly effective teachers receive a stipend or an increase, and attract more effective teachers to the district. District staff will now move forward with the Model 2 compensation plan, continuing to finesse the finer points of this schedule for the district’s 5,200 licensed employees and look at defining the over market pay range for the district.

Board attorney overview

The board heard a presentation from their attorney, Brad Miller, regarding certain aspects of his contract and work to date. Miller discussed his time and billing; his communications with the board, superintendent, administrators and the

district’s counsel, Caplan & Earnest; and his actions with some of the board’s issues, such as the superintendent hiring, compensation model reviews and advice on negotiations with the teacher’s association. Following this presentation, the board voted to extend Miller’s contract as is for another 12 months.

Budget Development update

During the meeting, the board heard a presentation from the district’s Chief Financial Officer, Lorie Gillis, regarding the budget development process. In her presentation, she discussed the timeline for the budgeting process during the 2014-2015 school year. She outlined when the board would need to make key budget decisions and implored the board to keep in mind an earlier deadline approval date for next May.

Student Based Budgeting

From the CEO:

As part of the budget update presentation, the finance team discussed the move to a Student Based Budgeting model. This model (http://goo.gl/uKMnWd) would allocate funds based on individual student needs, flowing resources to the school level. By switching to the student based budgeting model, school administrators will receive more training on new technologies and have more autonomy to reach their achievement goals. The next board of education meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m, Thursday, Sept. 18, at the Jefferson County Education Center, 1829 Denver West Dr., Golden. — Compiled by Crystal Anderson

Developing Jeffco’s workforce Legislative town hall brings experts to the fore By Clarke Reader creader@colorado communitymedia.com The first legislative town hall of the fall gave Lakewood residents a chance to hear from experts in the field on workforce development. Sens. Andy Kerr and Cheri Jahn and Reps. Brittany Pettersen and Max Tyler welcomed representatives from the Colo-

rado Department of Labor and Employment, American Job Center and ReHire Colorado to speak about the challenges and opportunities facing those in the job market. “I’ve been knocking on doors all summer and I hear about the economy all the time,” Jahn said at the beginning of the meeting. The visiting panelists highlighted recent changes like the Colorado ReHIRE Act, which helps Coloradoans struggling with employment transition into a new job. “The act, which was sponsored by Sen. Kerr, allows us to work with people on employment while developing their skills,”

said Slavica Park, ReHIRE program administrator. “We started with the goal of helping a bit more than 500 people and we’ve already assisted 465.” Lavetta Love, director of the Colorado Department of Human Services’ Office of Economic Security, spoke about the employment opportunities and services that are available to people with low-incomes and low-skill levels to help them improve their lot. “We’re especially working with veterans, non-custodial parents and employees older than 50 through means like ReHIRE,” Love said. Questions from residents ranged from

the cost of college to concerns seniors have about finding employment. With questions about small business outreach in Jefferson County, the panelists had a chance to talk about some basic work training opportunities people have. The American Job Center, located in Golden, hosts workshops for the county — particularly with youth — that teaches things like work basics and ethics. “Sen. Jahn and I worked hard on Senate Bill 1 which addresses college affordability,” Kerr said. “This year we’re seeing colleges come up with the smallest tuition increase in a decade.”

Rivals for governor trade jabs in debate Hickenlooper, Beauprez meet on Western Slope By Vic Vela

vvela@colorado communitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper and former Congressman Bob Beauprez swapped barbs during a lively debate in Grand Junction on Aug. 6, marking the first time the two gubernatorial rivals squared off this fall. On almost every debate topic — ranging from hydraulic fracturing to the

death penalty and the state of the economy — the two traded jabs over who would be the better man to lead the state over the next four years. The debate’s energy was aided by a lively audience that often interrupted the candidates with cheers and boos. That was especially the case toward the end of the debate, when Hickenlooper and Beauprez were given the opportunity to ask each other a series of direct questions. Beauprez used his first question to attack the governor over his evolving position on the death penalty,

focusing on the governor’s decision last year to grant a temporary reprieve to Nathan Dunlap, the death row inmate who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993. “Yes or no, will you assure the people here tonight … that you will not grant clemency to Nathan Dunlap?” Beauprez asked. Hickenlooper — who once supported the death penalty, but who recently said he no longer does — said he has “no plans to revisit my decision and my decision stands.”

“Government shouldn’t be in the business of taking people’s lives,” Hickenlooper said. Meanwhile, Hickenlooper turned the tables on Beauprez on another issue that the former congressman has used to criticize the governor — fracking. Hickenlooper touted his work on reaching a compromise on local control issues surrounding oil and gas drilling. The compromise kept anti-fracking measures from appearing on the November ballot — a result Beauprez had also wanted.

“You said you wanted the ballot measures off the ballot and I did that, so can I count on your vote?” Hickenlooper said. Beauprez offered an icy response. “I think you know the answer to that,” he said. Hickenlooper is profracking, but has also guided tough regulations on the oil and gas industry that aim to limit potential environmental and health impacts of drilling. Beauprez said those regulations are only hurting an industry that pumps millions of dollars into the state. “Other states are more open for business for energy development and that’s where the jobs are going,” Beauprez said. The two candidates also shared sharp exchanges on

economic issues. Hickenlooper highlighted an economy that has improved under his watch, one that has resulted in 33 months of consecutive job growth and an unemployment rate that continues to drop. But Beauprez said that the economy would be in a lot better shape if the government simply stayed out of the way of business. Beauprez said state regulations are largely responsible for that. Beauprez also blasted federal regulations and the Affordable Care Act. That led to criticism from Hickenlooper for focusing on issues that are handled at the congressional level. “Maybe you should be running for Congress if you want to go back and tackle the federal issues,” Hickenlooper said.

Station 15 in Roxborough from five Firefighters to four. This move will still allow an ambulance to be cross-staffed but it will affect EMS delivery and ambulance availability. Station 6 will no longer house an ambulance and it will be reallocated to Station 1 in an effort to more effectively cover the demand of EMS calls. Engine 6 will remain, and be staffed with four firefighters. West Metro has also decided to eliminate one of its front line District Chief positions who had a command and control presence from Station 14. The 110 square mile District will now operate with the oversight of two District Chiefs instead of three. An operationally focused Administrative Chief position has been created to help with some of this oversight. Further changes also include non-operational positions. There will be layoffs off two civilian positions (Training Center Manager and Media Specialist). Another change to the Training Division includes the elimination of two uniformed Firefighter positions. The Safety Captain will be reallocated from Administration to Training to consolidate duties. The cuts were made, in part, due to the defeat of a property-tax increase in May, which would have raised around $8.6 million annually. “We need to be able to provide the services to our residents and so we have to look at how to do that within the constraints of the budget,” Lombardi said. “This is what we’re faced with and that’s the reality of it.” The cuts still need to be approved by the West Metro board, which Lombardi said he expects by the end of 2014.

Digital storytellers: 40 West hosts international exhibit IF YOU GO

By Clarke Reader

creader@colorado communitymedia.com The 40 West Arts District has already expanded its reach to include the entire state of Colorado, and their latest exhibition is taking things to a global level. “Art of Motion,” an international digital motion arts exhibition, will be on display at the 40 West gallery, 1560 Teller St., from Sept. 2 through 30. “Digital motion arts is coming up in the art world and is changing what a gallery is,” said exhibit curator Richard Eversley. “I think it changes what a gallery means, because with digital work you can create a gallery without walls.” The juried exhibition — jurors are Kim Johnson, Jim Schoedler and Mila Popovich — celebrates both traditional and emerging expressions in motions art and motion digital storytelling. Eversley said he used the internet and universities to reach out to the international community to pull in artists from the world over. Artists create motion fine art with a variety of tools and technology, including software and cameras. The installations will be viewable on computer screens, televisions, cellphones and mobile tablets. Physical motion (such as performance art) that has been captured to create fine art expressions and displayed as a .mov file are also a part of the exhibit. “We want to push the envelope on the kind of things we host here,” said Bill Marino, chair of the 40 West. “We’re tapping into the tools of the 21st century to bring

WHAT: Art of Motion - international digital motion arts exhibition WHERE: 40 West Arts gallery 1560 Teller St., Lakewood WHEN: Sept. 2 - 30 Tuesday - Saturday: 1-4 p.m. COST: Free INFORMATION: www.40westarts.org these more than 20 submissions.” Eversley said the digital arts movement is one that he has been following for a while now, and he has been looking for a way to display these works. As a way to honor the digital medium, the works will become part of a gallery with walls, which will make them available at home. The finalist movie files will be edited into a program and aired on Colorado Public Television 12 broadcast and distribution network. CPT12’s distribution is over the air broadcast in the frontrange of Colorado, Comcast cable through the state, DirecTV, DishNetwork, and their website www.cpt12.org. The exhibition program will also air via Vimeo on CuriousTV’s Vimeo channel. “The art form is expanding with the new technologies that people can use,” Eversley said. “In the show we have very different people working in very different styles and I think 40 West is going to stand out because they’re hosting this show.” For more information, visit www.40westarts.org.

‘Odysseo by Cavalia’ premieres Sept. 17 at Pepsi Center By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com

hen artistic director and choreographer Darren Charles describes “Odysseo by Cavalia” as an “extravaganza” show, he may not be exaggerating. The show has 46 performing artists — riders, acrobats, aerialists, dancers and musicians — 64 horses of 11 different breeds, 350 costumes and 100 pairs of shows (artists may have up to seven different costume changes) and a highdefinition computer graphic images that are shown on a cyclorama the size of three IMAX screens. “It’s a journey, people all over the world have been sucked into this journey and when the show is over they feel like they just come out of a fairy tale,” said Amanda Orlowki, a performance

rider. “Odysseo” makes its premiere under the White Big Top at Pepsi Center in Denver Sept. 17 and runs through Sept. 28. The stage is made up of more than 10,000 tons of stones, dirt and sand, Charles said, “No one knows it’s there so it’s magical to see when we reveal it.” Charles and Orlowki agree that one of the biggest highlights of the show is the descending full-size carousel. “This is a very dynamic part of the show,” Charles said. The carousel has the most horses on stage at one time, which proves to be challenging, said Orlowki. “A lot of the horses are stallions and they can have very strong characters,” she said. “So timing is very important.” There are performances that include aerobatics done with the horses and white silk. “It’s pure horse power pulling the aerialists in the air,” Charles said. The breeds of horses include Appaloosa, Arabian, Canadian, Holsteiner, Lusitano, Oldenburg, Paint Horse, Quarter Horse, Spanish Purebred (P.R.E.),

Warmblood and Lipizzan. All performers, including the horses, get a break between each city they tour. “The horses will go to a farm or range and graze for a couple weeks,” Charles said. “It’s important everyone gets their break, the show is very demanding.” The artists are from around the world including the United States, Canada, Brazil, France, Belgium, Guinea, Russia, Spain, Ukraine, Japan and Poland. If the show seems similar to a Cirque du Soleil performance — there’s a reason. Normand Latourelle is the founder of Cavalia and was a co-founder of Cirque. Cavalia is an entertainment company and made its Denver debut a few years ago with a different show. “When Cavalia was in the city in 2010, we had one of our most successful runs ever,” Latourelle said. “Colorado audiences have a deep appreciation of the artistic spirit and a great connection with our unique art form. I’m sure ‘Odysseo’ will amaze and touch the hearts of many more Coloradans with this feelgood show.” Tickets for “Odysseo” are available at www.cavalia.net or 1-866-999-8111.

Old, new, borrowed ... and red It sounded like a match made in Republican heaven when Monica Owens, daughter of former Gov. Bill Owens and ex-wife Frances, and John Beauprez, professional poker player and marketing specialist and son of governor wannabe Bob Beauprez and wife Claudia, got engaged on the Fourth of July. And if the upcoming gubernatorial election goes their way, Monica could have the distinction of being the daughter and daughter-in-law of two Colorado governors. The cute couple celebrated their engagement among friends and family on Aug. 30. On her Facebook page, Monica said that as of Aug. 28, the wedding was exactly six months away. Monica, a Republican pundit and owner of Owens Public Affairs, and John, who’s all over social media for his poker prowess, found each other when John’s mom, Claudia, strategically seated the young’uns next to each other at a blacktie dinner. And just in case you want to give the betrothed a wedding gift, they are registered at www.registry.theknot.com/ monica-owens-john-beauprez-february-2015/9018648.

Kevin Taylor comes to Aurora

Denver’s Kevin Taylor Restaurant Group, helmed by renowned chef Kevin Taylor, will open a new restaurant and beer hall in the recently announced development Stanley Marketplace at 2501 Dallas St. in Aurora, just a few feet from the southern border of Stapleton. Unlike Taylor’s other Denver restaurants, which include Palettes at the Denver Art Museum, Kevin Taylor’s at the Opera House and Limelight Supper Club & Lounge, this restaurant and beer hall will exist in a casual industrial atmosphere, highlighting the architecture of the former Stanley Aviation Building, where airplane ejector seats were manufactured for roughly 50 years. The menu will offer items made with locally sourced produce, as well as craft beer and local wines and spirits. “I’m excited to move forward with our next venture in a different way,” said Taylor. “Approachable restaurants are the future, and I believe we can provide the level of cuisine for which we’re known, but in a way that is appealing to everyone, and fits within Stanley, and Parker continues on Page 16

creader@colorado communitymedia.com Autumn is Colorado’s most colorful season, and Spirits in the Wind Gallery is embracing the season with new artists on display for September.

UKRAINE AT A TIPPING POINT SEVENTY YEARS of Soviet control of Ukraine ended in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union. During that time Ukraine suffered extensive famines, deportation of its citizens, and repopulation of its country by ethnic Russians. Since independence, Ukraine has aligned more with the west, resulting in escalating tension between ethnic Russians and Ukrainians. Recently Russia has sent troops into Ukraine in an effort to protect their interests as Ukraine has destabilized. This has dramatically escalated the crisis. Join Active Minds 2-4 p.m. Tuesday Sept. 16, to explore the situation. Program at Emeritus at Green Mountain, 12791 W. Alameda Parkway, Lakewood. RSVP at 303-237-5700.

Rams beat Golden in 4A battle Bear Creek, Alameda win again; Jefferson still searching By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com LAKEWOOD - Green Mountain got its first victory of the season and left a rival still looking for one as the Rams defeated Golden 28-10 Friday at Jeffco Stadium. The Rams took a 14-3 lead into halftime and then added 14 more fourth quarter points behind senior running back Chance Boyce who rushed for a ridiculous 211 yards and two touchdowns. Boyce put Green Mountain on his back while his team struggled at the quarterback position. Golden showed flashes that they are an improved unit this season but could not put it all together for four full quarters. Golden junior quarterback Trent Morris threw for 157 passing yards and a 34-yard touchdown pass to senior George Alexeyev. In addition, Golden sophomore Weil Sau recorded a 72-yard kickoff return. The Demons (0-2) will play Kennedy Saturday at 4 p.m. at All-City Field. Green Mountain (1-1) will play Standley Lake Friday at 7:30 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex Alameda: The Pirates stayed perfect on the young season with their second straight huge offensive performance beating Skyview 56-55 in overtime Friday at Skyview High School. Alameda fell behind 20-6 in the first quarter before erupting for 22 second quarter points. The Pirates beat Jefferson 68-12 in Week 1 of the season and Alameda has turned into the early season surprise story in Jeffco. However, Alameda (2-0) will now host one of the state’s best lower classification teams in Faith Christian Friday at 4 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Bear Creek: The Bears hung on for a 19-7 victory over Chaparral Thursday at Chaparral High School. Sophomore Andre Renteria rushed for 90 yards and senior Olabisi Johnson rushed for two touchdowns.

But the Saints defense is starting to show they can slow down opposing offenses step-by-step. Photo by Dan Williams Despite both defenses dictating the game’s tempo and Bear Creek senior quarterback Nick Madrid struggling the Bears found a way to hold off Chaparral who attempted a second half comeback. The Bears improved to 2-0 and will now play Columbine Friday at 4 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium. Jefferson: The Saints are searching for their swagger as well as their first win of the season after falling 64-6 to Rifle Friday at Trailblazer Stadium. Jefferson was one of the best stories in Colorado prep football last season qualifying for the playoffs after a spectacular regular season.

But the Saints lost several of the best players and senior leaders to graduation and are now trying to rebuild. Jefferson (0-2) will play The Pinnacle Saturday at 1 p.m. at Five Star Stadium. Lakewood: The Tigers stayed perfect by beating one of the best 4A teams in the state defeating Montrose 47-35 Friday at Montrose High School. Behind new head coach Jeff Braun a rejuvenated Lakewood team exploded offensively and used its defense to hang and beat a Montrose team that is considered one of the best in the state. The Tigers will now play Chatfield Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium.

Ralston Valley: The Mustangs continued their impressive start to the season by beating ThunderRidge 38-0 Friday at North Area Athletic Complex. Ralston Valley now has two big wins on their resume as they get league play with the other coming in a 47-24 win over California’s La Serna in Week 1. But the Mustangs are just one of three 5A Jeffco teams from Arvada that have all had great starts to their season. But something will give after Ralston Valley plays rival Arvada West Friday at 4 p.m. at NAAC.

Unbeaten A-West routs Smoky Hill Will play rival Ralston Valley this weekend By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com GREENWOOD VILLAGE - The Arvada West Wildcats are having a wild resurgence. A-West shutout Smoky Hill 28-0 Saturday at Stutler Bowl, improving to 2-0. And while just two wins into the season, it is the way the Wildcats won their first two games of the season that have many thinking that Arvada West football is back. Despite turning the ball over four times the Wildcats defense bailed out their offense by forcing six turnovers of their own in a game that was sloppy at times. But at other times A-West looked like the Wildcats of Dave Logan championships years past. Arvada West scored a touchdown in all four quarters of the game as sophomore running back Joey Perez helped put the

A-West improved to 2-0 with the victory. Photo by Dan Williams team on his shoulders at times, wearing out Smoky Hill’s defense. Perez and fellow running back Jesse Klene both produced 5-yard

rushing touchdowns and senior quarterback Travis Thornsten threw two touchdowns. Thornsten also threw four

touchdowns during Arvada West’s Week 1 victory over Douglas County, 32-19. A-West scored in every quarter

of that game but used its defense to stall out Douglas Country’s offense on a couple key possessions. Credit the Wildcats looking like they turned things around to their new head coach Brad Pyatt. Pyatt, a former NFL player and former teammate of Peyton Manning, took over an A-West team that won just two games three years ago, three games two years ago and a 4-6 team from last season. However, it’s not like the program hasn’t won in decades. The Wildcats went 11-2 just five seasons ago. But it won’t be easy for A-West to get back to their once elite status. While the Wildcats have been struggling over the past few years, Pomona and Ralston Valley have become two of the best 5A football programs in the state. Moreover, the three teams play each other annually, and if Arvada West wants to get back to the mountain top they will have to climb over Pomona and Ralston Valley to do so. The Wildcats will host Ralston Valley Friday at 4 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex.

Farmers beat feisty Pirates in 4A Jeffco battle D’Evelyn, Bear Creek look good early; Pomona falls in FoCo By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia.com LAKEWOOD – Wheat Ridge went on the road and escaped Alameda High School with a 3-1 victory on Wednesday. The Farmers lost the first set 23-25 but went on to win the next three sets 25-19, 25-23 and 25-19. Wheat Ridge senior Nina Thomas led her team with 15 kills and added four digs, and senior Deliah Ferguson has 14 digs and a pair of aces. Alameda had their chance to steal the match or at least force a fifth set, but too many errors doomed the Pirates and dropped them under .500 (2-3). Alameda will play at Fort Lupton Thursday at 6:30 p.m. The Farmers (2-3) needed the win and will attempt to get their record back to .500 when they host Visa PEAK Prep Friday at 6:30 p.m. Bear Creek: The Bears continued their hot start to the season by winning three of four games they played in the Overland Invitational Tournament held Saturday at Overland High School. Bear Creek beat Monte Vista and Hinkley 3-0 before falling 3-0 to Niwot. However, the team wrapped up the tournament with a 3-0 victory over Gateway. The Bears have been led by junior Tonya Morrey who has 43 kills this season. Bear Creek (4-1) will play at Castle View High School Thursday at 6:30 p.m. D’Evelyn: The Jaguars are off to a fast start to their season by beating Lincoln 3-0 Thursday at D’Evelyn High School. D’Evelyn dominated the action winning 25-11, 25-12, 25-17 and was fuelled by several players including senior Jace Kleffner who had 11 kills. The Jaguars won the only other match they have played this season winning 3-0 at Colorado Academy. D’Evelyn (2-0) will play at Kennedy Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. Jefferson: The Saints continue to compete with every team they play this season but they are still having trouble closing out matches, evident by their 3-0 loss Tuesday at Alameda High School. Jefferson lost all three sets but two of those were winnable (20-25, 11-25 and 21-25). The Saints (1-3) have dropped three straight matches since a season opening 3-0 victory over Lotus School for Experience. Jefferson will host The Pinnacle Tuesday at 6 p.m. Pomona: The Panthers had their winning streak snapped by back-to-back losses with the latest coming in a 3-1 defeat Saturday at Ft. Collins High School. Pomona pushed Ft. Collins for the entire match losing the first set 26-24 and winning the third set 25-23. Junior Julia Baskin recorded 13 kills and junior Abby Eckhardt recorded 10 kills but the Panthers could not contain three different players who recorded double-digit kills of their own. Pomona (5-4) will host Prairie View next Friday at 6:30 p.m. Ralston Valley: The Mustangs won their first four games of the season — three of those in the Smoky Hill Tournament — but finally lost a match as they were beat by Rampart 2-0 Saturday at Smoky Hill High School. Ralston Valley fell 25-17 and 25-15 to Rampart, one of the best teams in the state. But the Mustangs beat Smoky Hill, Longmont and Greeley West during the tournament and kicked off their season with four straight wins. Ralston Valley will attempt to start another winning streak when they host Niwot Thursday at 6:30 p.m.

Worth the wait: Horschel wins BMW Tournament at Cherry Hills sets up PGA Tour’s playoff finale By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Billy Horschel hit his second shot on the 18th hole and then sprinted up the hill to visit the restroom. Horschel obviously had more on his mind than winning the BMW Championship at Cherry Hills Country Club, but he really didn’t have much to worry about on the tournament’s final hole. “I’m sure the whole world saw me sprint,” said Horschel. “I had to go to the bathroom and I had been holding it for way too many holes, and I just felt like, I could sort of relax and let’s just go ahead to the bathroom before I can’t go. “We knew Bubba (Watson) missed his birdie putt and we knew we had a two-shot lead. So that was huge.” Horschel, the 27-year-old Floridian, closed with a 1-under par 69 on Sept. 7 after rounds of 68, 66 and 63 for a 14-under par 266 total. He won by two shots over Watson, who had a final-round 66, in Colorado’s first PGA Tour event since 2006. The victory was worth a first-place check of $1.44 million for Horschel and 2,500 FedEx points. “This win means a lot to me,” Horschel said of his second PGA victory. “I didn’t have my great stuff and I was able to grind something out and get the victory at the end of the day.” It was a better outcome than at the Deutsche Bank Championship Sept. 1, when a bad 6-iron shot on the 18th hole dropped Horschel into a second-place tie. Watson, who struggled making putts the entire tournament inside 12 feet, had three consecutive rounds of 66 after an openinground par 70. “I played solid all week,” said Watson. “I had a chance on the last hole to scare (Horschel), but obviously I didn’t make the

Early leader Sergio Garcia smacks a drive down the 11th fairway en route to a second-round score of 64. The eventual winner was Billy Horshcell. Photo by Chris Michlewicz putt and he played pretty solid.” Morgan Hoffmann, who shot a thirdround Cherry Hill competitive courserecord 62, had a closing 7-under-par 63 to come in third with a 269 total. Hoffman’s final two rounds marked the low 36-round total on the PGA Tour this season. “It’s funny, after the first two days, I didn’t really hit it much better on the weekend than the first two days,” said Hoffmann. “Maybe a couple bigger numbers on Thursday and Friday but obviously more putts went in on the weekend.” Sergio Garcia, the leader after two rounds, climbed to within two shots of Horschel but recorded an eight on the 555yard, par 5 17th hole. He laid up on his second shot but his

approach was wide of the small green. His chip was long and went into the water. “It’s really disappointing,” said Garcia. “It’s what happens when you are not mentally sharp. If I was mentally sharp, if I was rested and really the way I was at the beginning and middle of the year, I would have talked myself into going for the green.” Garcia, Ryan Palmer, Jim Furyk and Rickie Fowler tied for fourth at 271. Garcia, who had 5-under-par 29 on the front nine, finished with a 67 despite the snowman. Palmer closed with a 71, Furyk a 66 and Fowler a 68. Palmer, the 37-year-old Texan, started strong but faltered on the back nine. He was twice a co-leader but a bogey and double bogey on the 12th and 13th holes and an-

other bogey on 15 tarnished his start, when he birdied three of the first five holes. Rory McIlroy, the world’s No. 1 player, finished with a 66 and tied for eighth place. The BMW Championship was the third of four tournaments in the FedEx playoffs. The Tour Championship is set for Sept. 1114 in Atlanta, with the top 30 players in the FedEx standings vying for the crown. Playoff points will be reset and the top five players will be the leading contenders to win the championship. Chris Kirk, who tied for 36th at Cherry Hills, will be top-seeded in Atlanta with 2,500 points. Horschel is second with 1,500 markers and Watson third with 1,000 points. McIlroy is fourth with 750 points and Hunter Mahan fifth with 500.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) This is a good time to put that fine Bovine’s eye for beauty to work in redecorating your home or workplace. And don’t forget to indulge yourself in some personal time as well. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Your sense of loyalty to someone who asks for your help is commendable. But make sure there are no information gaps that should be filled in before you move too far too quickly. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Don’t let difficult people raise the Crab’s ire levels this week. Avoid them if you can. If not, resist telling them off, even if you think they deserve it. Things improve by week’s end. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Your suspicions about a colleague might be on the mark. But you also could be misreading the signals you believe you’re getting. Do some discreet checking before jumping to conclusions. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Take some time out from your many tasks and see if someone might be trying to reach out to you. You could be surprised to learn who it is and why you might want to reciprocate. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You still might want to do more investigating before taking on a new commitment. Later would not be the time to try to fill in any crucial gaps in what you need to know about it. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A new opportunity should be carefully studied. It might offer some of the things you’ve been looking for. Or it could contain new possibilities you never considered. Check it out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You might have to work harder this week to get people to listen to what you have to say. But if you stay with it, you could start to get your message out to many by the week’s end. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Although family matters again take up a big chunk of the Goat’s time, the week also offers a chance to explore a new career move you’d been contemplating for a while. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Applying your practicality (what does it offer me?) and your creativity (how can I improve on it?) could provide sound reasons for seriously considering that new offer. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) The single set will find that keeping their romantic aspirations on high gives Cupid a better target to aim at. Paired Pisces will find that this week helps reinforce their relationships.
