Taylor property annexed to city Council unanimously adds 122 acres to Ward 3 By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com Lakewood’s Ward 3 became a bit larger at the end of the Sept. 9 city council meeting. The council unanimously approved the annexation, zoning and incorporation of the Taylor property parcel, 6900 W. Lakeridge Road, just south of the Green Gables property, into the city. It is zoned as R-1-43, which allows for agriculture and single developments per acre.
The property was zoned into Ward 3, due to its location and precincts drawn by Jefferson County. “This is a significant milestone for Lakewood, and it’s a privilege to have added this to the city,” said Mayor Bob Murphy at the end of the meeting. “It really is a jewel — it’s a unique property, and there’s nothing like it in the city.” The property is 122.3 acres that has been owned by the Taylor family for several generations, and the property is mostly open land with a house, small lake and is used mainly for agricultural purposes and horse-keeping. Vernon Taylor III, the trustee of the property, said that the entire family is de-
lighted that Lakewood is considering annexing the property, because they feel that Lakewood is one of the best governed municipalities in the area. “It was our father’s stated wish that the property stayed in tact, and if it is ever developed, it’s not developed intensely, and we’re following that,” he said. Eloit Hoyt, the representative for Taylor, said there are no plans for any kind of developments, road connections or any other major changes to the property. Neighbors from Vassar Avenue, a neighborhood right next to the property, were on hand to support the annexation, but wanted to make certain their concerns about potential development were on record.
Roger Wimmer, who created a website about the potential for roads built through the neighborhood and possible developments, said the neighborhood wants to protect its character. Wimmer said he worked with principal planner Mark Doering and the neighborhood feels good about the care the city is putting into protection of the neighborhoods. “I want to thank the Taylor family for bringing this property to Lakewood,” said Ward 5 Councilwoman Diana Wilson. “It’s a beautiful property and open space, and now that it’s part of Lakewood, any potential changes down the line will go through our careful consideration process.”

Lakewood is teaming up with Arc Thrift Stores to give residents a chance to clear their homes of unwanted and unused items. The city’s free cleanup days will be on Saturday, Oct. 12, for residents living north of West Alameda Ave. and Saturday, Oct. 19, for residents living south of West Alameda Ave. The drop-off site will be at 1655 Owens St. in front of the former Target store on West Colfax Ave. Proof of Lakewood residency is required. On those two Saturdays Lakewood residents can bring furniture, appliances, computers, even engines and car parts to the cleanup. Yard and chemical waste, as well as household trash will not be accepted. “This is something we’ve been working on for a while,” said Allison Scheck, marketing and community relations administrator with Lakewood. “During the annual city council retreat the idea came up as an important matter. Councilmembers wanted to find a way to offer a free clean up day to residents.” Scheck said the city started working with Arc once they realized the company was headquartered in Lakewood, and had been doing similar projects around the state. “Arc provided a channel for the city to do this cleanup, and really help divert people from landfills,” she said. Any funds generated will go to support of Arc chapters around the state. Maggie Scivicque, who does marketing for Arc Thrift Stores, said that the organization brought together the third party groups that are helping make the day possible. One of those groups is Western Scrap, which will handle all of the televisions and monitors, in addition to any other metal scrapping. “At Arc every day is Earth Day, and we find a way to sell everything,” Scivicque said. “Nothing goes to waste once it comes to us.” Scivicque said that arc volunteers will be on site both Saturdays to help facilitate the Arc continues on Page 16

Town hall focuses on climate change NREL scientist discusses causes, solutions By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com Climate change, its causes and the way to combat it was the topic of discussion at the Lakewood legislative group’s first town hall meeting after the summer break. Reps. Brittany Pettersen and Max Tyler and Sens. Cheri Jahn and Andy Kerr were on hand to hear a presentation from Dr. Chuck Kutscher of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) on the environmental danger the planet is in.
“I’ve been working with Chuck for several years on this,” Tyler said. “This is going to be the defining issue for the next generation and have enormous impact on our children and grandchildren’s future.” Kutscher started his presentation by stating that there is a lot of controversy about the subject, but within the scientific community, there is very little doubt that climate change is happening and human are the cause of it. He said about 97 percent of scientists agree about this fact. “Climate change, and the danger of carbon emissions are not a new idea” Kutscher said. “This is something they’ve known about since at least the 1950s. We’ve added about 40 percent more carbon dioxide to

the atmosphere when we started burning fossil fuels.” Kutscher talked about the changes in temperature and carbon dioxide levels, as well as changes in water levels and ice. He said that ocean levels could rise one to two meters within the audience’s grandchildren’s lifetimes, which could cause severe damage to coastal areas. “Some of the extreme weather that we’re seeing many scientists believe is tied to climate change,” he said. “We’re seeing more wildfires and hotter fires. We had the worst wildfire in Colorado’s history last year with the Waldo Canyon Fire, which was superseeded this year by the Black Forest Fire.” He said there are positive sings of change,
with things like world wind power on the increase, but not enough has been done yet. Several residents raised questions about the veracity of many of Kutscher’s claim, and while he acknowledged that the issue is divisive to many, he emphasized that the vast majority of the scientific community agrees about climate change. Questions from residents ranged to how to get elected officials to work harder on this topic to Xcel providing more solar panel opportunities. “I came because I wanted to see what was available for people to do in Lakewood,” said Rick Creswell. “It’s also nice to come and get information to refute some of the claims against climate change.”

e Push is on for marijuana taxes
he inyet. Capitol rally urges voters bout approve 25 percent levy laim, issue By Vic Vela t the vvela@ourcoloradonews.com unity
to
Supporters of a retail marijuana tax inihow tiative held a Capitol rally on Sept. 4, urgn this ing Colorado voters to back pot sales taxes l opto ensure that the newly created industry “pays its own way.” what The rally served as a campaign kickoff Lakefor Proposition AA, which will ask voters to ce to give the go-ahead for retail pot to be taxed me of at 25 percent this fall, with the revenue going toward school construction and support for industry regulation. Retail pot sales will soon become a reality in the state, thanks to last year’s voterbacked passage of Amendment 64. The Legislature passed pot regulations earlier this year, but voters still must decide whether they will support the taxes needed to fund retail marijuana rules. State Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, who played a key role in crafting Amendment 64 legislation, said that unless voters back the pot taxes this fall, “we will have to do one of two things: Take money from education and other programs in Colorado to fund this industry, or we’ll have lackluster or lax enforcement,” “This campaign kickoff is to acknowledge and recognize to the people of Colorado that these taxes absolutely must pass,” Pabon said. Proposition AA will ask voters to approve a 15 percent excise tax and a 10 percent re-
tail tax on marijuana sales. Revenue from the excise tax will go toward public school construction, while the money collected from the retail tax will back the regulations that were enacted by the Legislature. The 25 percent state tax does not include whatever local taxes might be imposed by individual municipalities. Brian Vicente, an architect of Amendment 64, said the taxes are expected to bring in about $70 million in revenue for the state. Vicente also reminded voters that only pot-smokers will be required to cough up the tax money. “This is a tax that really would only apply to people who choose to participate in regulated marijuana,” Vicente said. “Those who do not purchase marijuana will not be subject to this tax.” Pot tax supporters were asked whether they had concerns that competing tax questions on this year’s ballot could affect the passage of Prop AA — such as Initiative 22, which will ask voters to support more than $900 million in new taxes to overhaul the school finance system. “I think these issues will rise and fall on their own merits,” said state Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver. “I think our voters are discerning.” Steadman also said that voters who supported Amendment 64 last November knew that the pot industry would have to be taxed. Proposition AA supporters also said they were pleased with the federal government’s recent guidance on states that allow legalized pot. The Department of Justice issued

Photo by Vic Vela a memo saying it would not seek to block recreational pot sales in states that allow it, so long as the retail pot industry abides by firm state regulations. State Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, who sponsored the marijuana tax bill that led to Proposition AA, said the Legislature made “very responsible and very necessary first steps” in making sure the marijuana industry abides by a strict set of rules. Singer, who worked as a drug counselor at Colorado State University, said that he understands “the effects of drugs.” “I also understand the importance of having the funding available to make sure
that our communities are safe and that we build better schools,” Singer said. “This is not just about making sure that we are protecting our communities, but making sure that marijuana pays its own way.” The package of Amendment 64 legislation received bipartisan support at the Capitol this year. However, no Republican lawmakers attended the rally. Pabon said his Republican colleagues are “on the record” with their support, and also noted Republican Attorney General John Suthers’ recent endorsement of the pot tax. “As we move forward, you’ll be seeing more and more GOP support,” Pabon said.

Ringing the bell for historic station West Metro Foundation readies new public campaign By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com West Metro Fire Rescue Foundation (WMFRF) and city of Lakewood are ready to take the next step in raising funds to recreate the city’s very first fire station. Lakewood-Mountair Station No. 1 will be a part of the Heritage Center, 801 S. Yarrow St., and will house it’s own exhibits inside, including a history of Lakewood firefighters, with memorabilia on display. A 1937 fire engine will also be housed in the 2,900-square-foot, two-story building. The second story of the station will be a teaching area for children, and space for the community to use. Some of the people who sit on the committees for the project include Mayor Bob Murphy, former mayor Steve Burkholder and Congressman Ed Perlmutter. “Fundraising is going well so far, and we’ve formalized our fundraising campaign,” said Deanna Hanna, co-chair of the West Metro Fire safety fundraising campaign. “Now we need to get help with the campaign from the public.” According to Marty Zimmerman, WMFRF staff person on the campaign, said the first phase raised around $100,000, and with that money they were able to hire an architect and get the systems in

Courtesy photo place to launch this new phase of the campaign. “So far in August we’ve raised around $50,000, and the total we’re aiming for is $1.5 million for the total project,” Zimmerman said. “$960,000 will go to the building itself, $240,000 for the exhibits and programming and $300,000 will be an endowment to maintain both the building and exhibits.” Hanna said that around $250,000 of the required $960,000 will be inkind donations, and that organizers
and volunteers are extremely grateful for the help the community has given. Making the next phase of the campaign a very public one came from the idea that since the museum will be for the public, they should be as engaged as possible. People representing the fundraising efforts will be on hand at several events, like the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb, and Cider Days. “This is a part of our history, and children can come and learn here,”
Hanna said. “It will be part of a historical perspective that we haven’t really had yet.” For Zimmerman, he sees building the station bringing three major benefits to the community. “We don’t really have a tribute to Lakewood firefighters, so this will be a great place for that, it will be an economic development driver and will provide community education,” he said.

Cops cook for good cause Money raised goes to Life Trak program By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com Lakewood police officers and Older Adult Program staff are ready to hit the griddle for the 15th annual Cops that Cook pancake breakfast. The event will be 7 to 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 20, at the Clements Community Center, 1580 Yarrow St. Breakfast will include pancakes, sausage, orange juice and coffee. “We always get a pretty good turnout for the event, but this year we’ve done a lot more outreach, so we’re hoping to see a lot of new people,” said police Public Information Officer, Steve Davis. Davis said that many residents of assisted living facilities attend the event, and it’s a great chance for them to have breakfast and get out and meet police officers and other residents. Support for the event comes from Lakeview Senior Living, Foothills Credit Union, Lakewood Legacy Foundation and Village Roaster. The event is a partnership with Lakewood’s Community Resources Department, which helps set up the location of the breakfast, according to Davis. Every year the money raised by the breakfast goes to a charity, and for the past several years the money raised has gone to Colorado Life Trak, a program that helps find people who have a tendency to wander off, including Alzheimer’s patients and Au-
IF YOU GO
By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Two Jefferson County school board members who are not seeking re-election this fall blame communication issues and personality conflicts that they feel exist within the body as reasons behind their decisions to not seek second terms. In separate interviews, Jeffco Board of Education directors Paula Noonan and Laura Boggs listed several areas where they felt the board’s work was out of step with the desires of community members. And Noonan and Boggs blasted their fellow board members for making them feel as if their voices were being ignored. “I don’t think I had the support of my other board members,” said Noonan, who represents District 5, which covers the south end of the county. “I felt that made it very difficult for me to be productive.” Boggs, a conservative District 2 board member who represents the west and mountain area of the district, echoed Noonan’s concerns. “Your vote doesn’t count unless it’s in the majority,” she said. Boggs also said that the board isn’t transparent in many policy areas and that the community’s input isn’t being valued. But Board President Lesley Dahlkemper took issue with those assertions. “I strongly disagree with the view that we haven’t asked for community input,” she said. When asked to discuss whether there were any personality conflicts on the fivemember board, Dahlkemper opted for the high road. “As board members, we don’t always see eye to eye,” she said. “But we have pretty rigorous discussions.” Noonan said that the board is dealing with “many contentious issues right now”; chief among them being inBloom, a student data collection system aimed at helping teachers better personalize instruction. However, detractors of inBloom — which the district hopes to pilot beginning in the 2014 school year — cite security and privacy

tistic children. “Clients wear a wristband that emits a tracking signal, so the person wearing it can always be found if they get lost,” said Allison Scheck, marketing and community relations administrator with the city. “The wristband is waterproof can be worn when bathing, and is regularly tested to make sure it is working.” Cargivers for those who wear the bracelets receiving training at how Life Trak works, according to Scheck, and the best ways to maintain the bracelet. “Signing up for the Life Trak program doesn’t cost the family anything, as we pay for it, and that’s why the breakfast event is so critical,” Davis said. “We need to replace the funds we spent buying the family the bracelet, which gets expensive.” Adult tickets are $4 and $6 the day of the event. Children ages 12 and under are $3. Tickets are available at the Clements Community Center, police department, 445 S. Allison Parkway, and the Lakewood Department of Community Resources, 480 S.

Departing Noonan, Boggs express frustrations Board members disappointed with discussion and transparency issues

concerns with the new system. Noonan said during the interview that “the board does not have nearly enough input on the mission of the (inBloom) project” and that “the community needs to weigh in on that.” Through a letter that she recently provided to Colorado Community Media, Noonan expressed concerned that parents don’t know enough about inBloom, and neither does the school board. “Apparently, parents who want to stay out are going to have to leave the district, seek private school, or do homeschooling,” Noonan wrote. “Not great options for parents in a public school district.” Boggs is no fan of inBloom either. And one of her biggest areas of concern over the board’s workings is that there has been “a lack of transparency” on issues like inBloom or the district’s teaming with LoudCloud Systems to provide an instructional data system. “Despite the promises of running on transparency, what I saw on the board the last two years was a shutdown of community conversations,” Boggs said. That’s just not the case, said Dahlkemper. The board president points out that the board has overseen forums on issues like inBloom, student achievement progress, and the annual budget, where community members can become more familiar and more engaged with issues. Last month, the board held a study session that included a panel of educational experts from both sides of the inBloom debate. And Dahlkemper points to a recentlyadopted community engagement policy, which states that “the board’s policies and decisions should reflect community values, good educational practice and available financial resources.” Dahlkemper cites outside praise on issues regarding transparency from groups like the Independence Institute and the Center for American Progress. “To say that we’re failing in transparency and community input is just wrong,” Dahlkemper said. Voters will decide on three open seats on the board this fall: Boggs’, Noonan’s and District 1 director Robin Johnson’s, who recently resigned from the board because she had moved out of the district. Neither Dahlkemper nor District 3 Jill Fellman is up for re-election this year.

Sure, passage of Amendment 64 last November made a few things clear: Possession of up to 1 ounce is legal. People under 21 years of age may not purchase pot. It remains illegal to smoke marijuana in public places. But a couple of the most basic questions still need to be answered: Where can one legally buy it? How much will it cost? The first question is being explored by Colorado’s cities and counties. At this point, few Denver-area municipalities have opted to make retail sales legal, instead taking a cautious, wait-and-see approach. Some — like unincorporated Jefferson County — have already decided to outright ban retail sales. It’s possible most of
our view Colorado could follow suit, leaving the state with a handful of “marijuana islands” where pot is legally sold. The cost question is largely in the hands of the state’s voters. On top of whatever price point the marijuana market dictates, there will be taxes, and in Colorado, that means voter approval is needed. A recent rally at the Capitol in Denver urged approval of a 15 percent excise tax and a 10 percent sales tax on the retail marijuana industry. If the state’s voters approve Proposition AA in November, money from the taxes would reportedly go toward

school construction and regulation of the marijuana industry. In general, we support approval of this proposition. It helps ensure the marijuana industry will pay for itself, and helps schools, to boot. But we do wonder if too many taxes could lead pot customers to turn back to the black market. The 25 percent statewide tax from Proposition AA would be in addition to whatever taxes local municipalities’ voters approve. Denver, for example, is asking residents to say yes to a 5 percent tax. The total tax toll of 30 percent could lead to an unaffordable product in what figures to be the state’s largest marijuana-selling zone. Having customers once again turn to the dealer down the street would be a clear example of the law of unintended consequences. But we feel taxes may be the only
way to keep the retail pot business from being a burden on Colorado, something the medical marijuana industry has been over the last few years. The state will have to bank on people’s willingness to pay the price for legality. Even after the issues of where to buy and how much it will cost are officially answered, there will remain plenty of gray areas. For example, many people are uncertain if they will get fired from their jobs if they partake. Others aren’t clear on how much they can smoke and still legally drive. Truth be told, it may take years — and more than a few legal challenges — before all the answers are in. But this November’s election and the actions of local governments in the months to follow should add important measures of clarity amid the lingering cloud of confusion.
Dealing with heartbreak What do you do once your heart breaks? And not the sort of heartbreak that Taylor Swift writes songs about every couple months. I’m talking about the sort of profound, existential heartbreak that makes you wonder if the human race is worth saving. What do you do with the story of Anthony? Anthony is a little boy stuck in Colorado’s foster care system. One week last summer, he went to Royal Family Kids Camp, a special camp up in the mountains for kids in the foster system, and he had a really good week. Until he came “home” and found out that his foster parents had given him up during that week and his next stop was a group home. What do you do with boys like James? Or was it Addison? I’m not sure I ever heard it right. Doesn’t matter — we eventually were calling him “Cinderella.” This is a young man, slightly older than my own son, who my family saw last weekend as we were having a great time at Adventure Golf and Raceway (which, by the way, is an exceptionally good family outing!). The problem of Cinderella, which became a problem for us, was that he was out “having a good time” with his mother and two older sisters, and he was the constant object of scorn and ridicule. We heard, on one occasion, mom say loud enough for everybody within 20 feet “are you a retard or something?” We also saw, later, the family sitting around a picnic table with four ice cream cones--one for each sister, and two for mom. Cinderella, understandably, looked miserable. What do you do with the pictures coming out of Syria? No, not the one CNN decided to run with that was actually from Iraq in 2003 (“major media” credibility, anyone?), but the ones that show the bodies lined up, side by side, mothers next to children, whole families, an entire suburb. 1,400 dead, the victims of a Sarin gas attack, possibly by their own government.
In each of these situations, the instant reaction is to want to step in. It takes a few minutes to realize that an instant reaction to a broken and bleeding heart might, in the long run, be absolutely the worst thing you could do. With Anthony, what? Give him another temporary home, only to have to eventually put him back into the system, one more betrayal wiser? And what happens to Cinderella when he gets home if somebody tries to step in out in public? And the longterm consequences of Syrian intervention are impossible to predict, but among the possibilities is certainly a regional, if not a world, war. Being a man of Faith, of course my recourse is always prayer. But that somehow seems inadequate — so lacking in the “instant gratification” department. I want to “do” something! And then I grudgingly acknowledge that the best — maybe the only — thing I can do is just hug my own children, laugh with them and make sure they feel loved. Changing the foster system is going to take time and legislative focus, and fixing the middle east is ... well, a bit of a bigger fish. But, gosh, wouldn’t this all be easier if everybody just loved their children more than they love control, or their habits, or their lifestyle, or their power?

Searching for directions since 9/11 Another Sept. 11 has come and gone, but the nation’s, and most of the world’s, shock and grief live on. Here’s a real-time look at what 9/11 felt like to me then and now. Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001: Driving to work, running late. Hearing the news reports breaking into the oldies rock radio station. Listening — breathless, heart pounding — as the description changes from a small plane hitting the Twin Towers to what’s really happening. Speeding up, driving too fast, dodging other dazed motorists. Parking my car frantically at the nearest entrance. Running up the stairs to my office and my coworkers. Scanning the shocked faces, hearing people on the telephone. Calling my own family. Decamping with my colleagues to the conference room. Gathering around the only television in the building. Exchanging sounds of bewilderment. Falling silent, attempting to absorb the events. Supporting those who go home to their families. Learning of AA Flight 77. Wallowing in disbelief. Working with HR to order pizza, lots of pizza, for
the hundreds of employees in our organization. Learning of UA Flight 93. Staring, glazed over, at the television, disregarding my responsibilities. Driving home. Running to my neighbor’s door, too shocked, too numb, to cry. Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2001: Watching in horror, again and again. Learning the extent, the significance. Trying to reach friends, or friends of friends, or family of friends on the East Coast. Imagining what it looked like to be there, what it smelled like, sounded like, felt like. Feeling fear, anger, confusion. Sleepwalking, in the daytime.
Thursday, Sept. 13, 2001: Accepting the eerie silence in the skies. Cringing when only the military jets swoop overhead. Reading, watching, listening to the news. Scrutinizing the lists of the victims, the rescuers, the dead, the missing. Holding family close. Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2002: Finishing the last leg of a cycling trip through the Loire Valley. Being welcomed for the previous two weeks in French homes and chateaus. Accepting warm hospitality. Receiving a map and directions — in French — to our chambre d’hôtewhen we were lost. Appreciating the gratitude of the people in France for American forces during World War II. Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2002: Arriving by train in Paris. Dragging my luggage and cycling gear down the sidewalks from the station. Pausing at newsstands where New York is burning on all the front pages. Buying papers and magazines printed in French to take home. Taking photos of smoking buildings on posters in the shops. Stepping in to Notre Dame at noon. Seeing the signs in French: Nous nous souvenons
et nous prions! Messes pour les victimes des attentats et pour la paix! Reading the signs in English: Special services in memory of 9/11/2001 – we pray for peace. Stopping at the banks of candles flickering in the shadows. Seeing it propped behind the warm glow against the cold stone blocks of the cathedral walls. Recognizing the red, white, blue. Photographing the miniature American flag stapled to a slim stick. Praying for peace. Sept. 11, 2013: Imagining what it looked like to be there, what it smelled like, sounded like, felt like. Feeling fear, anger, confusion, and profound sadness. Displaying miniature American flags stapled to a stick in flowerpots on my porch. Holding family close. Searching for a map and directions — in any language. Praying for peace. Andrea Doray is an author who serves on the board of directors for the international organization Writing for Peace.

k Gunstanson to run for city council Ward 5 candidate wants to focus on protecting open space By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com
Micheal “Gunner” Gunstanson will be a candidate for Lakewood City Council Ward 5 in November. ant Gunstanson is running against Karen few Harrison for the term-limited seat held by tion Diana Wilson. in “I’ve always been interested in politics, hing it was always something that was in the back of my mind,” Gunstanson said. “When ther I heard that Diana’s seat was going to be tual- open, I was encouraged by my neighbors to more Cindy ongtion he ot a urse
make a run.” Gunstanson said he is a journalist by trade, having worked at CNN, the LA Times, Rocky Mountain News, Dallas Morning News and the Houston Chronicle, as well as at several TV stations. He currently works at Xanterra Parks & Resorts as the director of digital marketing. Born in Texas, Gunstanson has lived in Lakewood Gunstanson with his wife, Drucella, since 2005. While working for newspapers in Texas, Gunstanson said he learned about city procedures and had his first taste of how
politics work, and will take the lessons he’s learned to council, if elected. “I’ve been talking to people in my neighborhood and ward to get a sense of what issues are important to them” he said. One of the most important to the people Gunstanson has spoken with — and for himself — is the protection of open space in Ward 5 and the city. “People around here love open space, and they want the city to help them protect it,” he said. “That includes keeping an eye on developments, and how they could be managed with open space in mind.” The Green Gables development is another issue that Gunstanson said Ward 5 residents are extremely cognizant of, as well as crime rates increasing in the area.
The implementation of Amendment 64 is also an issue that will be tackled by council, and Gunstanson said that since Coloradoans voted for it, and the Federal government just announced they will be backing off enforcing federal laws, that it’s something council should look closely at. “We need to listen to what citizens say, and answer questions about regulation to the benefit of the city.” Gunstanson is a proud boy scout, and said that the values the organization instilled in him make him a great candidate. “The things I learned in that group — trust, loyalty, honesty and being prepared — are extremely important,” he said. “People will find that I’m a stand-up guy who is extremely accessible.”

Brenner’s loss is others’ gain
Bob Brenner, the “Extreme Weight Loss” record breaker on the hit ABC television series, was so transformed by his experience on the show that he has announced plans to become a certified life coach to help others realize weight loss success. To achieve his life coach certification, Brenner is partnering with the Coloradobased school Coach Training Alliance to become a credentialed coach. He is expected to earn his life coach certification in November. During his yearlong journey on “Extreme Weight Loss” season three (season four is being filmed at the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Health and Wellness Center in Aurora), Brenner lost a record 253 pounds — or 56 percent of his body weight — through a commitment to healthy eating, regular exercise and mental perseverance. His next extreme transformation is a total career makeover — going from Milwaukee undercover cop to national life coach. Brenner also remains good friends with “Extreme Weight Loss” host Chris Powell. Both guys were in Denver the first weekend in September.
Show makes a move
Chinook Tavern, 6380 S. Fiddlers Green Circle in the Regis University building in Greenwood Village off I-25 and Arapahoe, is the new venue for this year’s edition of “The John Fox Show,” which airs at 6:30 p.m. Wednesdays on 7News. On the first show (Fox appeared via a taped interview because of the season opener against the Ravens), Broncos Ring-of-Famer and all-time leading wide receiver Rod Smith joined 7Sports anchor Lionel Bienvenu live from the restaurant. Each week, different football guests will join Bienvenu and fans will have the opportunity to be a part of the live show. “Everybody knows the Broncos have an incredible hold on the heart of our city, and this is an exciting way for Chinook and our guests to go `inside the huddle’ this season, which could be a very memorable one for Broncos fans,” said Clemens Georg, Chinook general manager.
Valley girls and guys?
Colorado is fast encroaching on Silicon Valley’s crown as the king of incubators for tech startup companies, according to entrepreneur.com (www.entrepreneur.com/ article/227829). According to the story posted Aug. 14, “Four of the top 10 metro regions in the U.S. with the most tech startups are in Colorado: Boulder, Fort Collins-Loveland, Denver and Colorado Springs. That’s according to a report released (recently) by technology policy coalition engine and entrepreneurship research association the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.” The research defines high-tech startups as “new businesses with a concentration of employees in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.” Here’s how Colorado cities stacked up: 1. Boulder; 2. Fort Collins-Loveland; 3. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif. (aka Silicon Valley); 4. Cambridge-New-Framingham, Mass.; 5. Seattle; 6. Denver; 7. San Francisco; 8. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.; 9. Colorado Springs; 10. Cheyenne, Wyo. Parker continues on Page 15

The Opal of our eye
Favorite character helps Playhouse start 78th season By Clarke Reader

T
he people at Arvada’s Festival Playhouse know Opal Kronkie well. The central figure of seven of John Patrick’s plays, the bag lady who lives on the edge of the municipal town dump has been delighting audiences at the theater for years, and now she’s kicking off its 78th year of production. “Opal’s Million Dollar Duck” will be on stage at the Festival Playhouse, 5665 Olde Wadsworth Blvd., Sept. 13-22. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays. “The audience really, really likes her,” said Charley Ault, Playhouse owner and director of the show. “She’s really withstood the test of time, and we like to do a little more obscure plays because we’ve been doing this for so long.” “Opal’s Million Dollar Duck” was the last Opal play Patrick wrote, and is full of his own homespun philosophies, and funny one-liners, tinged with a bit of bitterness. In this outing Opal (Donna Ault) comes across an odd painting of a duck in the garbage, and decides to sell it at her antique junk shop. When her best friend Rosie (Karen Johnston) comes calling, reminding Opal that her birthday is coming up, she decides to make it a gift for Rosie. Enter Queenie (Lindsay Griebler) and Desmond (Dennis Leach), “stars” of a local summer-stock company. They’re visiting on the hunt for costumes, stage props and any other materials to use in their productions, when they come

across the painting. IF YOU GO Having just read that the town’s museum accidentally threw away a priceless painting of a WHAT: “Opal’s duck, they put two and two together, and try to Million Dollar hoodwink Opal out of the painting. Duck” “She’s able to see through them, not because she’s the brightest person, but because of her WHERE: Festival kindness,” Donna said. “She’s a very, very loving Playhouse person, and sees no bad in anyone.” 5665 Olde Donna has played Opal around four or five Wadsworth Blvd., times, and is able to quote some of Opal’s own Arvada brand of wisdom on a dime. She said at this point she’s got her portrayal of Opal down, and WHEN: Sept. 13-22 it’s pretty easy for her to slip into character. The show is made up of familiar faces on all Fridays and counts — all of the actors have been working Saturdays - 7:30 with the playhouse for at least three years, and p.m. in some cases, more than 40. “We’re really lucky to have actors who have Sundays - 2 p.m. experience here. As a director, I’m really able to COST: $15-$17 just let them do their own thing,” Charley said. INFORMATION: “I really like my actors to reach into their own 303-422-4090 experiences for the characters.” or www.festivalBoth Charley and Donna credit the words playhouse.com and idea Patrick imbibed Opal with as the feature that keeps people returning to see her. “Patrick really wrote a lot about these down and out people,” Charley said. “The philosophies he gave her are just as pertinent now as when they were written.” For Donna, it comes down to a simple fact. “People remember Opal.”

Gala bash will help raise funds
Parker
Foothills Art Center seeks fundraising goal
Nelson Rangell to perform
By Amy Woodward
awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com An anonymous man walked into the executive director’s office at the Foothills Art Center and offered the director a deal she couldn’t refuse; he would donate $36,000 to the center if they matched that amount in three months. The amount had to be exact. If they raised $35,999, he wouldn’t match a dime. He set the deadline for Nov. 12 or 11-12-13, and when added together equals 36. Reilly Sanborn, the center’s executive director, accepted the deal and went to work. So far, the center has raised around $15,000, which leaves $21,000 left to acquire. This year marks the center’s 45th anniversary, and in honor of that anniversary the center will host a gala celebration with a mass mailing of invites to the “Top Hats & Chapeaus Soiree” on Sept. 28 at the Foothills Art
Center 6-9:30 p.m. “We really want to raise the last two-thirds in this one night,” Sanborn said. “We really need the community to help us reach this goal; it’s really hard to raise funds for the electric bill, paper towels and parking spaces.” Donations are what keep the center going, and this offer proposed by the mysterious man would help pay off the center’s renovations, Sanborn said. Tickets purchased to the gala will go toward the matching gift challenge, including any donations and the tax deductible. The celebration will be a stylish affair that focuses on old-fashioned fun with a hats contest and millinery who will be attending the soiree. For an additional ticket fee (also donated to the center’s matching fund) a fine scotch bar and cigar bar will be available. Also, the annual “Taste of the Front Range,” cuisine contest will be available with local restaurants donating food from Grappas, Sherpa house, The Bridgewater Grill and Golden’s

Table Mountain Inn. “This is really an opportunity for somebody who is not a major donor but loves good art and wants to get involved,” Morie Smile, board president for the board of directors at foothills said. There will be “a lot of different ways to give” without leaving someone’s wallet light she said. Live auctions and art for sale from the Rocky Mountain National Watermedia show will be on display, and dancing is expected with live entertainment planned to play into the night. “All of us on the board are so grateful and so excited about this generous and unexpected match,” Smile said. She described the anonymous man as “very intelligent, very passionate about the arts” and “wants to set an example.” “I think that’s why it’s so important to him that we are looking at these individual donations,” she said. To help the Foothills Art Center meet their goal, ticket inquires and questions can be directed to Christine Fiedler at 303-279-3922 ext. 26 or via email at christine@foothillsartcenter.org

Kotb told co-host Kathie Lee Gifford during a recent show. “You can’t breathe and your chest is about to explode because of the (lack of) air.” “He has the nicest smile,” Gifford interjected. “What does he see in you?” On Kotb’s return flight to NYC, she chatted and posed for pictures with singer Aaron Neville, who performed during Denver’s Taste of Colorado at Civic Center Park.

Film fest transforms movie entertainment Annual DocuWest returns for a five-day long viewing of features By Amy Woodward
awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com Some say Hollywood films can be pretty terrible and even seem to be getting worse. Filmmakers seemed to run out of ideas when remakes of already remade films were being released such as “The Thing,” which was first produced in 1951, and remade in 1982, and then remade again in 2011. A weekly arts and cultural publication in Philadelphia called “34th Street” magazine reported 30 sequels and remakes will be produced by Hollywood this year. The 5th annual DocuWest Film Fest instead offers 46 documentaries including genres such as drama, comedy, action, music and horror. The fest took off on Sept. 11 at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden with the screening of its opening night film “Good ol’ Freda” by director Ryan White. The film featured Freda Kelly who worked as a secretary to The Beatles. Kelly shares her insight into the band for the first time in 50 years. “This film itself is really starting to pick up some momentum,” said Wade Gardner, co-founder and artistic director for the DocuWest Film Fest. “It’s just a marvelous film.” The film was followed by a surprise performance by FourEver Fab, a Beatles tribute band from Denver. The fest runs until Sunday, Sept. 15, with a free screening to “Mile … Mile & A Half” as a conclusion to the fest. The film by Jason Fitzpatrick and Ric Serena follows five friends as they conquer California’s historic John Muir Trail over the span of 25 days during a heavy snow year. “One of the themes for us internally is to really have the festival be a place of gathering and of community for folks to come,” Gardner said. “We just try to do our best to try and set the Job #: 33137-14 Size: 6.78" x 6" Branch: 139-Denver

The documentary profiles Elizabeth Hawley, who has recorded and archived every climbing expedition to the Himalayas for the past 50 years of her life. It’s a “prime example of what document films can do and that’s give us the unexpected,” commented Gardner on the film short. When Hawley passes away, her archives will come to Golden and be stored at the American Alpine Club library located at the American Mountaineering Center and will be available to the public for research. “This is a phenomenal addition to our collection,” said Elizabeth Surles, American Alpine Club library director.
“She’s a remarkable woman,” said Surles about Elizabeth Hawley. “She’s kind of a singular figure in mountaineering history because I can’t think of any other person who has spent their entire life documenting this and devoted so much energy to supporting this community,” she said. There are a total of 21 shorts films that will be packaged together instead of shown separately. Included in these packages are exclusive documentaries written and directed by University of Denver students. The DocuWest website provides a list of films from feature to shorts that will be played during the 2013 festival at various locations. Some films to note include State of Control for those seeking a political suspense thrill and insight in cyber security, the latest threat posed to U.S. national security. Directed by Christian Johnston of Evergreen, and Darren Mann, the film captures their intent to record protests against the Chinese government in China and Tibet. They soon become the targets of China’s invasive secret police who follow them through China, and eventually back home to the U.S. “A Will for the Woods,” is a touching and inspiring portrait of psychiatrist Clark Wang’s battle with lymphoma and his preparations for death and a funeral through his wish of a green burial, a popular topic and method of burial today sparked by the green burial movement. “The Castle Project” is a ghostly thriller by Brian Higgins, Denver filmmaker and architect, who records his renovation to a notoriously haunted hotel. If pressed for time and unable to attend any of the films that will be featured at the DocuWest, their website is still worth checking out to write down some film titles. According to Gardner, contact info for filmmakers at the documentary’s website is easy to get, and they will usually send you a copy of their movie. “That’s actually how I find their film a lot of the times,” Gardner said.

Tigers get first win of season over Pine Creek Lakewood’s running attack the difference in the victory By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com LAKEWOOD - The Lakewood Tigers recorded their first victory in a scrappy 27-13 win over Pine Creek Thursday at Jeffco Stadium. The Tigers had three different players score rushing touchdowns, and Lakewood managed to hold off a Pine Creek team that wouldn’t go away. “The final score looks like we handled them but that wasn’t necessarily the case tonight,” Lakewood coach Mark Robinson said. “They played us tough, but we needed to find a way to win this game.” Lakewood took a 13-0 lead in the first quarter before letting Pine Creek back into the game in the second quarter, 13-6. Junior sensation Sean Pinson scored a third quarter rushing touchdown from the goal line, giving the Tigers enough cushion to hold on. Pinson finished with 51 rushing yards on 15 carries. “We never got set off tonight for some reason but you also have to give their defense some credit because they played us tough tonight,” Pinson said. Lakewood senior Casey Nichols had a rushing touchdown and finished with 6 rushing yards. The game was certainly not a must-win considering the season is so young, but if Lakewood wants to sneak into the state championship game like they did a couple seasons ago, the Tigers had to handle their

easy. That actually means we have to work even harder to get back to where we want to be,” Robinson said.
The Tigers (1-1) will be tested again when they play powerhouse Pomona Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium.
Jeffco football highlights: Bear Creek wins over Green Mountain Faith Christian’s Langewisch scored four touchdowns By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com Alameda: The Pirates fell to 0-2 on the season but their record is not an indication of how good they have played. Alameda suffered its second straight heartbreaking late-game loss, 33-29 to Denver West, Friday at Trailblazer Stadium. In week one Alameda fell to Skyview, 36-28. The Pirates will try and turn those losses into wins when they play at Englewood Friday at 7 p.m. Arvada: The Bulldogs finally found their mojo in the third quarter of their second game of the season but it wasn’t enough as they fell 31-18 at Englewood. After being shut out the week before, Arvada looked good at times against Englewood, but just could not keep the Pirates out of the end zone. Arvada (0-2) will host Skyview Friday at 4 p.m. Arvada West: The Wildcats got their first victory of the season in style when they shut out Rock Canyon 14-0 on the road. A-West responded to being shut out the previous week by producing an unbreakable defensive effort. The Wildcats scored a pair of touchdowns in the second quarter, one a 30-yard rushing touchdown by senior Marcus Culhane. A-West will host Chatfield Friday at 7 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex. Bear Creek/Green Mountain: After winning only two games all of last season, the Bears improved to 2-0 with a 38-20 victory over Green Mountain on Friday. Bear Creek scored a total of 25 points in the second and third quarter and the Rams couldn’t keep up offensively. It was the second consecutive game where the Bears scored at least 36 points. Green Mountain also showed flashes of brilliance in the loss that included a 20yard touchdown reception by senior Mitch
Pomona fell to Cherry Creek but junior quarterback Justin Roberts continues to improve. Photo by Daniel Williams Shafer. The Rams (1-1) will host Golden Thursday at 7 p.m. Bear Creek will look to stay unbeaten when they host Mountain Vista Thursday at 4 p.m. D’Evelyn: After scoring 95 total points in their first two wins of the season, the power went out for the Jaguars in their 42-7 loss to Holy Family on Saturday. Holy Family scored 14 points in each of the first three quarters and D’Evelyn was left in the dust. Senior Conner Mateer had a rushing touchdown for the Jaguars in the second quarter, but four turnovers doomed D’Evelyn’s chances for a win. The Jaguars (2-1) will travel to Stocker Stadium where they will play Grand Junction Central Friday at 7 p.m. Faith Christian: The Eagles improved to 2-1 with a monster 59-18 victory over Vista Peak Prep Friday at Faith Christian High School.
Senior running back Daniel Langewisch stole the show with his epic 125-yard rushing effort that was capped with four touchdowns. The Eagles had 31 total first downs and scored 41 points in the second and third quarters, fuelling their blowout win. Faith Christian (2-1) will travel to Kent Denver for a match up Friday at 3:30 p.m. Golden: The rebuilding Demons suffered their second straight big loss when they were beaten by Dakota Ridge 51-0 Friday at Trailblazer Stadium. Golden, led by first year head coach Jason Neely, struggled against Dakota Ridge who overwhelmed them offensively. Neely, despite the blowout, remains positive and acknowledged that it will take some time for Golden to once again become a force in Jeffco football. The Demons (0-2) will play Green Mountain Thursday at 7 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium.
Jefferson: Even though their defense kept them in the game until its end the Saints fell to Sheridan 14-6 on Friday. Jefferson players suffered their first loss of the season, after they threatened to tie the score late in the game. But Sheridan’s surprising stout defense never cracked. The Saints (2-1) are still off to an impressive start to their season and will try to build on it Saturday when they play at Denver Christian at 1 p.m. Pomona: In a meeting between two of the best teams in the state Pomona fell to Cherry Creek Friday at North Area Athletic Complex, 19-15. After a slow first half where only nine total points were scored both teams got it together in the second half. However, Pomona couldn’t close the deal despite Chris Marquez’s big night. The senior running back rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown, but Cherry Creek did just enough to slow the rest of the Panthers’ offense down. The two teams could see each other again in the playoffs. Pomona (1-1) will host Lakewood Saturday at 7:30 at NAAC. Ralston Valley: After two big wins to open the season the Mustangs struggled in their 36-18 loss to ThunderRidge Saturday at North Area Athletic Complex. ThunderRidge jumped on Ralston Valley early in the action and never let up. The Mustangs attempted to get back into the game, and if it wasn’t for sloppy play the game outcome could have been different. The Mustangs (2-1) will travel to Grand Junction Friday at 7 p.m. Wheat Ridge: The Farmers fell 45-18 at Monarch on Saturday, but there are positive to take from the loss. Wheat Ridge got a glimpse at the reigning state champions and now has a measuring stick on what it takes to get to that level. Monarch scored 14 points in each of the first three quarters before the Farmers started to get it going late. The Farmers (1-1) will host Littleton Friday at 4 p.m.

Golden, Faith Christian play dramatic zero-all contest Netminders shine in game that didn’t produce a goal By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com ARVADA - Golden playing Faith Christian proved it doesn’t take a lot of scoring to produce a lot of excitement. In perhaps the most dramatic 0-0 game in recent memory, the Demons played the Eagles to a double overtime draw Thursday at Faith Christian High School. While there was no scoring to report, there was plenty of action and several near game-winning goals. Give full credit to both schools goaltenders, which combined to make 10 total saves — with several brilliant
game-saving goals. “Both goaltenders where great tonight, one mistake by either of them, and one team goes home very disappointed,” Golden coach Josh Nolker said. “We wanted to win the game but are also happy we didn’t lose tonight.” Golden junior goalie Jasper Hughes made five saves — including a gamesaving stop he made against Faith Christian senior Cameron Doody in the second half. Hughes has only given up two total goals this season in three games for the unbeaten Demons (2-0-1). The Eagles had an underclassman in net for a Faith Christian team who has already played five games this season (2-2-1). Sophomore Sam Goodwin was as good as his last name would indicate stopping five shots on goal to help preserve the shutout. “Really both teams deserved to
win the game so maybe it’s not so bad that one team had to go home disappointed,” Faith Christian coach Will Lind said. And while 3A Faith Christian does have two losses on their record, it must be noted that both came to 5A opponents in Ponderosa and Lakewood. Lind intentionally creates a schedule for the Eagles that features literally the toughest of competition by playing teams higher classifications so that his team is battle-tested and prepared to play the best come playoff time. That is one reason Lind and the Eagles have won multiple state titles and are seen as one of the elite programs in the state. Faith Christian will play at Denver East Thursday at 6 p.m. Golden will host Denver South Thursday at 4 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex.

Construction near completion at Rocky Mountain Metro airport By Amy Woodward
awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com Rocky Mountain Metro Airport is undergoing construction to meet safety standards required by the Federal Aviation Administration for the airport’s main runway, 11L. The project has proven to be a doozy, requiring the movement of State Highway 128. “We are in the middle of a two-phase project that is improving safety area to the west of the airport’s primary runway,” said Kenny Maenpa, Metro Airport director. “Currently the runway safety area is 600 feet in length off the end of the runway, and we require a total of 1000 feet of safety area to meet safety standards of aircraft that are currently operating at Metro Airport,” Maenpa said. In the event a plane is not able to stop by
the end of the runway, or a plane taking off does not reach high speeds in order to lift off before the runway ends, the safety area will act as a buffer to help prevent drastic consequences. The safety area will not be paved but graded flat to prevent a plane from inflicting significant damage to the property or to the plane itself. Officials anticipate the project to be complete by December 2013 with some minor touch-ups in 2014. It is a two-phase project, but the good news is, phase one of the project which includes relocating State Highway 128, is 90-percent complete. For more information on the project, go to www.flyrmma.com. Any questions can be directed to Georgiann Dewey at 303271-4893 or gdewey@co.jefferson.co.us.
