Lakewood wins Katy Perry concert School takes top prize in lip dub contest By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com Lakewood High School won the “Good Morning America” and Katy Perry’s “Roar” contest for a live concert at the school. The news was announced on “GMA” on Friday, Oct. 18. The concert for the stu-
dents will be at the school Friday, Oct. 25. “We got the news at 6:15 today (Oct. 18), and I’ve been crying and shaking,” said Courtney Coddington, a senior at the school and student body president. “I’m shocked and amazed. It’s so surreal, and I’m so proud.” Perry and judges picked the winning entry, based on creativity, on-air appeal, “wow” factor, originality and feasibility of a live performance at the entrant’s qualified school, according to ABC.
The school had originally hoped to host the show at a larger venue and sell tickets to raise money for flood victims, but due to contest rules, aren’t allowed to sell tickets. Instead, Coddington said that Lakewood is challenging every high school in America to raise $1,000 for flood relief or any other charity, to show the power of what schools can do. “We’re thrilled we’re getting the concert, but it’s always been about the bigger

message,” said principal Ron Castagna. “The big message is one of unification. These kids are the next greatest generation, they do the right things for the right reasons, and I’m blessed to be associated with them.” Coddington wanted to thank the school and community that supported Lakewood throughout the process. “Thanks to the students for staying with us, and I’m so happy to call Lakewood High School home,” she said.

Mapping the road ahead Outdoor event encourages riders to talk about last mile connections By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com Lakewood used a creative and interactive way to find out from residents how connections along the W Rail line are going, and what needs to be worked on. On Saturday, Oct. 19, the city, RTD and several consulting groups laid out a 15-foot-by-40-foot map of the line, and invited people to write their comments about what needs work and where directly on the map. “We want to get as much public input as possible on the things we still need to do, and how things are going now that the line has been open for six months,” said Ben Waldman, transportation and engineering manager with

Waldman said the impetus for the meeting came from the fact that during the whole planning and building process of the line, the city told residents that there would be follow up to see what kind of work still needed to be done. All along the map, riders posted comments about sidewalks needing improvement, lack of trail connections at certain points and places where there are bike and pedestrian conflicts. “We want to see where improvements can be made for walking and biking safety,” said Carlos Hernandez, part of the consulting group that is working on the project. “We sent out invitations to 5,000 people who live along the line so we could get input from people who live right on the line.” According to Waldman, improvements are already planned along Wadsworth, thanks to a partnership with the

Jefferson County District Court Judge Margie Enquist is debating the fate of the 2090 Wright St. property, after hearing three hours of arguments during a summary judgment hearing on Monday, Oct. 21. The Jefferson County School District, City of Lakewood and 2090 Wright St. Coalition were all given an hour each to present their case during the hearing, which ended in Judge Enquist stating that she was not able to make a ruling from the bench. “My ruling will be issued on disputable facts, and I’ve spent a lot of time reading the submitted documents,” she said. “There are a lot of blanks in the case, and the record keeping from the time is abysmal.” The piece of land has been in dispute for more than a year now. The land was proposed as the site for the Rocky Mountain Deaf School before negative public input led the Jeffco school district to withdraw those plans. Judge Enquist will decide who owns the land, and if the city does, if it can be used for municipal purposes. The discrepancies in deeds, memos and documents was the basis of much discussion by all three parties during their comments. “The district (Jefferson County Schools) has a valid deed to the property, and has had it since 1977,” said William Kowalski, counsel for Jeffco Schools. “When you look at the documents, they make our case for us. The district has been watching over the property and treating it as our own.” Patrick Wilson, counsel for the city, Battle continues on Page 17

Lamontagne top fundraiser in school board race By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Reports show a stark financial contrast in each of the three Jefferson County school board races, with the conservative candidates lagging significantly behind their challengers in the amount of dollars raised, so far. District 2 candidate Jeff Lamontagne leads all six hopefuls in fundraising, having raked in $39,822 thus far, according to financial reports available through the Secretary of State’s office. Lamontagne’s cash haul includes small dollar contributions from Democratic state Sen. Jeanne Nicholson of Black Hawk, former Arvada Mayor Vesta Miller, and several Jefferson County Public Schools teachers and staffers. Lamontage has spent most of the money he has raised so far, but he still has more cash on hand than does his opponent, John Newkirk. Newkirk — who along with fellow Board of Education candidates Julie Williams and Ken Witt make up the conservative wing of the six hopefuls — has raised $4,255, of which $1,902 has been spent. Newkirk received $215 from the Wheat Ridge-based Jefferson County Republican Men’s Club. He also received $500 from for-
mer U.S. Sen. Bill Armstrong and $20 from Jeff Shrader, a Republican candidate for next year’s Jefferson County sheriff’s race. Armstrong and Shrader gave the same amounts to Witt, a District 5 hopeful, who has raised $10,148, of which $7,759 has yet to be spent. Witt also received a $100 donation from Wheat Ridge City Councilman Joseph DeMott. But Witt’s fundraising is less than a third of the amount that has been raised by his opponent, Gordon “Spud” Van de Water, who has $35,380 and has spent less than $4,000. Van de Water received money from Nicholson and fellow state lawmaker Rep. Sue Schafer, a Wheat Ridge Democrat, who contributed $90. A $100 contribution was given to Van de Water’s campaign by Democratic state Board of Education member Jane Goff, while $250 was contributed by Ken Fellman, the husband of Jeffco board member Jill Fellman. Van de Water’s biggest haul came in the amount of $8,166 from the Board of Education Committee, a Denver-based political action group.

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

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

Neighborhoods make voices heard Comprehensive plan meeting examines changes on local level By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com Lakewood residents examined what they love about their neighborhoods, what could be changed and where opportunities to grow are at the Lakewood Lives open house. The open house, held on Oct. 15, was the third meeting in the city’s Lakewood 2025: Moving Forward Together project, which is creating a new comprehensive plan for the city. Lakewood 2025 is meant to re-examine what works and what needs to be changed in the city’s 10-year-old comprehensive plan. “In our previous meetings we’ve talked generally about the plans, but tonight we want to hear from you about your neighborhoods,” said Travis Parker, director of the planning department. Between 30 to 40 residents were then divided into small groups based on the general area of the city they live in, and went through a series of questions on topics ranging from what works and doesn’t in their neighborhood, access to healthy living options and transportation and commercial corridors. “We’re really looking to focus in on the
neighborhoods, instead of the larger city level,” said Jonathan Wachtel, sustainability planner. “We know there are all kinds of housing types and transportation methods for people to consider, and we want to know how to accommodate that.” In the discussions, many were proud of their neighborhoods and didn’t want to see many changes to them, with the exception of some infrastructure changes. One major topic of discussion was the changing demographics in the city, and how best to address them. Two of the largest projected populations in the city will be young families and seniors, 65 and older. Accommodating these diverse groups will prove a challenge. In one discussion the topic of more bike and pedestrian paths was discussed, and while using alternate means of transportation is something that younger people are encouraging, older residents said that they probably wouldn’t have an interest — or ability — to make use of some of these proposed changes. “Lakewood is going to extraordinary lengths on bike paths, but we might be focusing on the wrong demographic, since our older population is growing,” said Ward 1 councilwoman Ramey Johnson. Residents who were not able to attend can still submit their input and see video from the meeting at www.lakewood.org/ movingforward.

Metro West brings senior living to Belmar CityScape at Belmar to tap into areas vibrancy By Clarke Reader

After launching successful affordable housing projects at Belmar Groves and Lamar Station Crossing, Metro West Housing Solutions is preparing for a new development in Belmar. The new development, called CityScape at Belmar, will be built at 500 S. Reed St. and will cater to seniors, 62 years old and older. The complex, which is slated to open in the fall of 2015, will feature 130 apartments, with a mix of one and two bedroom options. CityScape will feature a variety of amenities, from a community room, full kitchen, and billiards room. There will also be a focus on wellness, with a health and wellness center built into the building, according to Brendalee Connors, chief asset management officer with Metro West.
Metro West Housing Solution’s newest project is CityScape at Belmar. It will feature 130 apartments for senior residents, all within walking distance of all the activities available at Belmar. Artist’s rendering “We’re kind of designing the building as a method of exercise,” Connors said. “We’ll have a staircase that can be worked in as exercise, so during the cold months residents can walk the building and it will be exercise.” The best part of CityScape is its location, according to Tami Fischer, executive director and CEO of Metro West. “It’s the only affordable housing development in Belmar, and Bel-

mar is such a vibrant place to be living at any age,” she said. “By setting up here we have so many services in walking distance, and residents will have an opportunity to be engaged in what’s going on there.” Fischer said that isolation is a big concern for many seniors, and locating their housing at Belmar is a great way to combat that. She said Metro West is looking forward to partnering with Belmar businesses to provide programs for seniors.
“We’ve been planning for this for the past couple years, and we bought the land in 2009,” said Connors. “We’ve been meeting with folks in Belmar, and this year we started applying for funding through CHFA (Colorado Housing and Finance Authority).” Metro West will also be receiving from the city, state, and tax credits.

Ambassadors next generation of medicine St. Anthony, WarrenTech partner to give students hands-on experience By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com Students at WarrenTech are getting a chance to learn medicine from the best, thanks to a partnership with St. Anthony hospital. The program is called the St. Anthony WarrenTech Ambassador program, and offers second year health science students a chance to see how the world class hospital runs, and the kind of opportunities available for medical students. “The program is a result of the vision of our CEO, Jeff Brickman, based on a desire to assimilate into the Lakewood community,” said Vicki Harding, St. Anthony director of volunteer services. “We decided to focus in on a local school, and since WarrenTech has a health science program, it was a good fit.” Harding said the hospital thought it was a good idea to establish a relationship with students early on, not only to give them a look at what is ahead, but also to endear the hospital to the students as a possible employer. According to Linda Efird, WarrenTech’s
program director for health sciences, the program was extremely competitive to get into, and was only open to second year health sciences students. “We have 10 students who are completing close to 100 hours at the hospital,” she said. “They’re rotating through five different departments, and are part of a team.” The students are learning from hospital staff about a variety of things, from how to assemble a ventilator to proper positioning of patients on operating tables. It is extremely hands on learning. “We want to show them as much of this world as possible, from surgery and respiratory to nursing and Flight for Life,” Harding said. Efird said the response from the students has been nothing but positive and the program has already been renewed for a second semester in the spring. “The students who are in the program now want to go another semester, and we have students really excited for the spring,” Harding said. St. Anthony will have a small “graduation” ceremony at the end of this first go to celebrate all the works the students have done. “St. Anthony really wants to give back to our community, and this is a great way to do that while establishing a relationship with students early on,” Harding said.
Ambling into art Local businesses channel 40 West energy By Clarke Reader creader@ourcoloradonews.com The 40 West Arts District celebrated the changing of the seasons, and the creative businesses in the corridor on Wednesday with its first 16th Avenue Art Amble. Supporters of the district and local arts gathered Oct. 23 to take a leisurely stroll along W. 16th Avenue between Teller Street. and Reed Street, enjoying the crisp weather and getting to know some of the businesses along the way. “This is the first time that this group of creative enterprises is doing any kind of event with 40 West,” said Bill Marino, executive director of the Lakewood-West Colfax Business Improvement District. “We’re really excited about a group creating an event and taking the initiative to reach out to us.” The event was hosted by A&E Fine Woodworking, Liquid Metal Coatings, McIntyre Furniture, Garrett Brown Designs,
HammerDown Cycles & Speed Shop, Quiver, Perry & Terry Auto Body, Inc., and Earthwood Builders. “The idea originated from me. We’ve been here for 13 years now, but it’s a very industrial area, and we don’t get a lot of foot traffic,” said Wendy Scheck, owner of Liquid Metal Coatings. “We’ve never put a sign up saying gallery or anything, but we do a lot of artistic work.” Scheck said that she heard about the work 40 West was doing through a friend, went over and met the people at the group, and started talking with her business neighbors about arranging a kind of block party, that became the Art Amble. “We really wanted to promote these creative companies, because a lot of people don’t realize we’re here due to the location,” Scheck said. “We want to support 40 West and be a part of the Lakewood community. It’s really exciting to get to know our neighbors.” For Marino, the Amble is a natural next step for 40 West. “It’s the next step in our evolution as a group for other organizations to channel the artistic energy of the area and use it to spread the word about their work,” he said.

opinions / yours and ours
Smarter systems, not money, help schools Last week, I wrote a little about Peyton Manning, his mastery of systems, and the Common Core State Standards. I pointed out that Common Core, while wellintentioned, is merely another iteration of the assumption that knowledge comes in nice little compartments. It’s the same assumption that most of the current American education system is based on. But that’s not how the brain works. “Smart,” Ed Psych professors tell me, is being able to make connections and see how disparate bits of information link together into a unified whole. Marion Brady champions a type of education based on systems theory, which links all the individual subjects under an umbrella of intersecting uses of knowledge — a unified whole. The great thing is, we know this idea works: D’Evelyn Middle/High School uses a curricular design that is integrated horizontally. According to Terry Elliot, former D’Evelyn Principal, a ninth-grade social studies teacher can make reference to the novel “Siddhartha” while studying Indian geography, knowing that the students will have read that novel in their
English class. Such a design creates a richer, deeper context of learning for the students, which helps both comprehension and retention. And, as exhibit A for this strategy, D’Evelyn was recently recognized as one of America’s Top Schools by U.S. News and World Report. Unfortunately, it’s hard to test an umbrella; “systems” don’t make for easy to implement computer-based testing regimes; and the need to “do something” overrides the difficult discussions of design and system. And so Common Core becomes the default curriculum of the land.

And at the same time, you are being asked to vote to give an additional $1 billion a year to education through Amendment 66. It’s being sold in a well-funded advertising campaign as a “small price to pay” for continued gym classes, and more teacher’s aides in the classroom, and reviving music programs, and the like. Some people will remember just 8 years ago when Referendum C was on the ballot, and was being pushed for just such benefits. At the time, I described it as a “$3 billion fix for an $800 million problem,” but it passed, so everything should have been hunky dorey, right? But here we are again, less than a decade later, being asked to hand out $1 billion per year. As usual, there are those who have pointed out problems with 66, among them the funding formula which returns to Jefferson County Schools just 56 cents for every dollar collected from Jeffco taxpayers. But, again, that mechanism is just a tree; the forest is this: is $1 billion a year going to get us a better system, or does it just prop up the same old system?
Ask yourself, the next time you see one of those very clever ads, are the gym classes relating cardiovascular activity to cellular biology and the physics of work and energy? Are the music students linking the Baroque style of Bach to the flourishes of Gothic architecture and the intellectuals of the Enlightenment? In other words, are we getting a better system? I know that Amendment 66 is not explicitly about Common Core, but they are linked as functional parts of a system. And that system, even with all the tweaks and tests and taxes added over the years, is not serving our children very well. So the question you have to ask yourself, as you cast your ballot in a few weeks, is this: are our politicians and bureaucrats enough like Peyton Manning to make this system work for a mere one billion dollars?

Our values drive our success One of my very favorite things about being in the coaching, training, and learning and development industry is when I have an opportunity to meet and observe other trainers or facilitators, authors, and subject matter experts. I am sharing this with you because I had a wonderful opportunity to sit in on a session recently conducted by Peter Thomas. His career and accomplishments were extremely impressive, however his presentation was focused on values, and it was his passion and conviction around this topic that really captured my attention. Although he normally delivers the course over two days, the four-hour abbreviated version had a tremendous impact on me and how I see and define my own success. What are my values? What do I value most? Why do I value these things? Intuitively I have understood the importance of identifying my values and their relation to my success and have spent time identifying them in the past and even committing them to writing. Yet during this recent session with Peter Thomas I questioned and even challenged myself a little on how much emphasis I was placing on my own values and was I really living those values. Typically when I teach a class or coach a client and we discuss values I hear words like honesty, integrity, family, knowledge, and other very nice words and strong values. So when I was tasked with working through my own, I came up with about 14 words or values. Then after thinking through them a little more I distilled the list down to seven values and found the other words and values fit better as subvalues or categories. If you don’t mind me sharing, here is what I do value: Faith, Family, Love, Trust, Kindness, Happiness, and Fitness. And the other values that fall somewhere under each one include: Togetherness, Compassion, Time, Quiet Time, Loyalty, Effort, Purpose, Commitment, Wisdom, and Peace, with some of these falling under
more than one major value. Have you considered what it is you really value and why? Success is different for everyone as some define success by
status, money, achievements, and in many other ways. What if we looked at success and measured our success in relation to our values instead of our accomplishments or at least alongside of them? If we compromise our values to achieve status or things, are we truly successful? I know this sounds so philosophical or maybe you see it as wishful thinking. But if you are a little like me maybe, and someone reminded you about the importance of your values, would you take the time to reconsider what they are and how you not only prioritize them but how you just might live them? This was an awesome reminder and I am so grateful to Peter Thomas for his presentation. He has written a book titled “Be Great: The Five Foundations of an Extraordinary Life in Business - And Beyond” and I would highly encourage you to read this wonderfully fresh reminder of all that may just be important in your own life. Are your values in alignment with what you do? Is what you do in alignment with your values? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com because when our values and life are in sync, it really will be a better than good week.

Lakewood high has a lesson for Congress When America wakes up on Oct. 25, we’ll hear one gigantic roar from Colorado because Lakewood High School has won Good Morning America’s contest to have hugely popular singer Katy Perry perform at their school. Lakewood High School submitted a performance of their own that wowed Perry enough to select their entry—a lip dub video of her hit single “Roar”—as the winner from hundreds of other similar entries from 44 states. Lip dubs are wildly popular on the Internet, from Isaac’s joyful “Marry You” proposal, to Highlands Ranch’s own Missy Franklin synching to “Call Me Maybe” with fellow USA Olympic Swim Team members. I recommend searching the web for both. This kind of joy is why I’m so proud of Lakewood High School. When Perry announced the winner during the GMA broadcast on October 18, she said, “Lakewood really embodied a whole school spirit … thousands of kids coming together to ‘Roar’.”
What makes Lakewood’s win a win for all of us is that so many diverse groups wanted it, joining together to create a video viewed more than one million times via the Internet even before Perry’s announcement that they had won. If only Congress had such a spirit of togetherness. Although the circumstances of the two situations differ, of course, Lakewood High School’s joyous effort is in stark juxtaposition to the deep and painful wound of our nation’s recent government shutdown. In my experience, groups of high
school students can be just as divisive as any political posturers, perhaps more so. At my very small high school — less than 100 students per graduating class — jocks disdained cowboys, and Home Ec and Shop students rarely mingled with those pursuing Science Fair awards and publishing the school newspaper. Sadly, in the 1970s, racial tension was a huge factor in school relations. From what I know today, these types of ruptures still exist. My creative writing students tell me about kids who are invisible unless they are athletes, and about kids who are ostracized because of their socioeconomic backgrounds. Race, faith, and sexual orientation are also still cause for scorn … or worse. At their most benign, such differences are like two sides of the political aisle throwing spit wads at each other while the teacher is looking away. No recalcitrant students get their hands slapped and someone else is left to clean up the mess. Wake up, Congress, and take a cue from
Isaac, from Missy Franklin, and especially from Lakewood High School’s 80 different clubs and 2,000 students who came together in joy and strength. You don’t have to win a Katy Perry concert, which, by the way, is benefiting Colorado’s flood relief efforts, to show spirit, pride, joy, and commitment. If today’s high school students can put aside their considerable differences enough for Katy Perry to say “The clubs, the cliques, they all came together,” then you — educated, sophisticated, and intelligent elected officials — can too. But of course, you have to want it. You have to believe that coming together is, actually, a win. If you must, you can lip dub until you get it right. Colorado’s Lakewood High School can show you how it’s done. Andrea Doray is a writer who is learning as much from her creative writing students and she is teaching them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Choices for school board
I’ve attended a number of Jeffco school board forums and listened intently to candidate responses. The latest forum was held at Wheat Ridge High School sponsored by Jeffco parents and community leaders specifically interested in the interests of our gifted and talented and diversity students. Van De Water, Lamontagne and Aultman-Bettridge understand that diversity just doesn’t mean ethnicity or gifted and talented. They support all kids, from GT to special education, culturally and ethnic differences and gay, lesbian and transgender issues. I was extremely disappointed with the other three candidates who displayed very little knowledge about our diversity population and repeatedly tried to answer the questions regarding diversity issues by referring to our GT students. We have about 2,500 students in our district who are homeless, 102 different languages are spoken throughout the district, a population of students who are physically challenged or have special education needs and a significant number of students who sexual orientation is different than most. I support a strong GT program but believe we need board members who won’t ignore that population of students that I just referred to and others who have needs
too! They deserve and are entitled our utmost attention and concern. I left the Wheat Ridge Forum very skeptical that due to Witt’s, Newkirk’s and Williams’ minimal past participation in the affairs of the District and their display of the true diversity we have in Jeffco they don’t and won’t defend the concept that permeates in our district’s educational pledge of ... “All means All”. I’m supporting Aultman-Bettridge, Lamontagne, and Van De Water because they care, they understand diversity in our district goes beyond GT, and they believe in the our District value that “All Means All!” Alonzo F. Rodriguez Littleton
Candidates have track record
As someone who has been involved with Jeffco Schools for over 30 years as a parent, volunteer and now-retired employee, I believe that it’s critical that our school district is governed by the best possible school board, which is the policymaking body that influences the future of our children and our county! I have been dismayed over the last couple of years by the lack of civility at board meetings. Disruptive, disrespectful behavior is no way to model good citizenship for our students – or for our staff and community.
We must elect board members who pledge to engage in civil discourse, and who put education and wise spending of our tax dollars before politics, personal attacks and special agendas. This year’s election is particularly important since three seats are open – a majority of the board. It’s an opportunity to elect a board that will focus on providing the best possible education for all students … a board of committed, caring individuals with a vision and road map for educational excellence … a board that understands that our community is growing more diverse and does everything possible to close the achievement gap and ensure all students are career or college ready when they graduate. That’s why I am supporting three candidates who have a track record of involvement and knowledge of public education,
and who are committed to governing with integrity and respect. Please join me in supporting: Jeff Lamontagne – an active community member who has demonstrated his commitment to youth by co-founding and serving as executive director of the Second Wind Fund to prevent teen suicides as well as serving on numerous school district committees. Tonya Aultman-Bettridge – an involved PTA mom and public policy analyst who works to improve systems to serve children and families across our nation. Gordon ‘Spud’ Van de Water – a committed volunteer who worked for 30 years as an education policy analyst and consultant to educational leaders in more than 30 states. Marilyn Saltzman Conifer

Roundtable discussion defines key issues Metro mayors discuss ways to make communities thrive By Crystal Anderson
canderson@ourcoloradonews.com The theme of cooperation and dedication highlighted the Regional Mayoral Roundtable, Friday, Oct. 18. Hosted by the Arvada Chamber of Commerce and the Jefferson County Business Lobby, the mayoral roundtable brought together five regional mayors to discuss initiatives facing the Denver metro community and the state at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. The event hosted five area mayors — Mayor Marc Williams, Arvada; Mayor Michael Hancock, Denver; Mayor Nancy McNally, Westminster; Mayor Marjorie Sloan, Golden; Mayor Heidi Williams, Thornton — and Gov. John Hickenlooper. The mayors answered questions regarding transportation and the rail systems, prohibition of medical marijuana growers and shops within each community, and homelessness. More than 130 business leaders from across the region attended the event, in-
cluding past Arvada City Councilwoman, Bernie Burgmaier, who was eager to hear about the state of the community. “I’m really interested in what’s going on in our community and politics in general,” Burgmaier said. The mayors also highlighted the importance of urban renewal programs and how working together, consistently, as a region, makes the community thrive. “It’s a mandate to cooperate,” said Mayor Hancock regarding regionalism, “if we want to fulfill the possibilities of this area, we cannot be mutually exclusive, we must do this together.” Toward the end of the event, the Arvada Chamber of Commerce Chairman, Jerry Marks, welcomed Hickenlooper. He spoke passionately about Amendment 66 and discussed the advantages of the resolution. “For the first time in the United States, if this passes, the money follows the child,” he said, “We’re creating a real incentive for teachers and schools to make sure these kids don’t drop out.” Following the governor’s address, Marks honored Arvada Chamber of Commerce President Dot Wright, as this was her last event as chamber president. For attendee Janet Steinkamp, Associ-
Gov. John Hickenlooper addressed those assembled about the facts and realities of Amendment 66. Photo by Crystal Anderson ate Vice President of Red Rocks Community College, the event was informative and clearly presented the issues that are pressing throughout her community and for her students.

Commissioners review budget for next year County waits on flood recovery costs as demand for services heighten By Amy Woodward
awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com ‘Tis the season for government budgets. Jefferson County was introduced to a comprehensive proposed budget for 2014
on Oct. 8 with an estimated 2.2 percent overall increase from the 2013 adopted budget. The 2014 proposed budget totals $478.7 million, showing operating and capital expenditures increasing by 10.5 percent from 2013. Predictions for 2014 revenues could be around $372.8 million, not including $87.3 million from interfund transfers. Tina Caputo, budget director for Jeffco, along with Ralph Schell, county administrator, gave a summary outline of the 2014

budget noting some important obstacles including an increase in funding requests from citizens and unfunded mandates from the Jeffco Department of Human Services. Jeffco has a population that has a critical need for social services, Caputo said. The county continues to balance citizen need with keeping budgets flat, she added. Declining state and federal funding, aging infrastructure, and issues with employee retention were also among the challenges presented to county commissioners. Salary benefits for county staff will increase by 3 percent in the hopes of mending employee morale; staff has not seen a pay increase since 2009. The pay increase will contribute to a total $6.3 million for salaries and benefits. Soon after the floods, Jeffco announced a rough estimate of flood damage throughout the county which totaled around $6 million. Damages are currently being updated as some areas that were closed off to evaluations are now open. “There has been nothing proposed in the proposed budget at this time to dealing with the flood recovery,” Ralph Schell, county administrator said. “We’ll probably budget something in 2013 based on estimates we’ll get form those people getting those figures for us,” Tina Caputo, budget director said adding she will most likely go back to county commissioners for a supplemental budget. Still, with recovery costs still unknown,

Townhall poll resulTs Jeffco held a phone town hall conference on Oct. 9, collecting more than 400 county residents’ opinion on the county’s performance and budget preferences. Among the results: • 41 percent reported the county was doing a “fair” job. • 51 percent voted the value of Jeffco services to taxes paid was good. • 30 percent voted against increasing property tax to maintain county services. • 28 percent voted for a $50 annual property tax increase to maintain services. • 40 percent voted that reducing new road projects was their preferred budget cut. • 38 percent voted they would be least willing to see cuts to law enforcement. • 62 percent voted “no” on increasing the number of county commissioners from three to five.
commissioners said they will probably remain cautious with expenditures for 2014. “That could have a huge impact on the budget,” County Commissioner Don Rosier said on flood recovery. “As we go through, we need to consider that.” Organizations and county departments seeking funding from the county will be making presentations throughout the month and into November. A final budget will not be approved until late November or early December.

Doctors’ Discovery Helps Diabetics PHILADELPHIA — A team of doctors has found that a new formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives new hope to diabetics. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy. In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy.
Now at:
While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only 28 days, despite being instructed not to change his dietary habits or physical activity. Some patients, under their doctors care, have been able to reduce or eliminate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists say that Cinnatrol actually helps diabetic drugs to work more efficiently. Additional information is available at www.cinnatrol.com. Cinnatrol is available without a prescription at pharmacies and nutrition stores or call 1-877-5811502.

Lifetree Café meets at several locations throughout the week. The Arvada branch meets in the café at Peace Lutheran Church, 5675 Field St., Arvada. Photo by Crystal Anderson Lifetree Café gathering in Arvada as a way to reach the community outside of her church. “I had heard about it, and thought it’s reaching a different demographic our church may not reach otherwise,” Wegner said, “It’s spiritual, but it’s open and you’re welcome, just as you are.” Each week, around 10-20 people gather at one of two Lifetree Café’s offered Tuesday’s at Peace Lutheran Church to watch a free video presentation. The videos consist of interviews with people throughout the world who are confronting different issues facing society today. Throughout each presentation, café guests sit, four to a table, and watch that week’s video. The presen-
tation bounces between video and commentary, asking specific questions to attendees to help guide conversation among tablemates. “I like to think about these events, and this is a safe place where conversation is guided, that helps us get way deep right away,” Wegner said. From hoarding, being wrongly accused to interviews on the paranormal and Christmas baking, Lifetree Café discusses relevant issues and offers attendees a place to share opinions, ideas and build relationships with others who attend. “I’ve met so many people I can give a high-five or a hello to,” Cullman said. “It’s definitely a great way to get to know someone more than a ‘Hi, hey how’s the weather?”

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

Media madness or a pregnant pause, perhaps? Was KOSI radio/9News personality Denise Plante pulling a prank on thousands of Facebook friends when she posted a picture of a pregnancy-testing stick she allegedly used on Oct. 16? She let the drama play out as she posted evolving pictures of the stick as it was turning positive or negative. She even snagged 9News medical expert Dr. John Torres to witness the gag. “Am I pregnant? We will soon find out, Dr. John Torres from @9News is in the house!” Plante posted. The plot thickened with pictures of the stick as it revealed her pregnancy status. And the “results?” “Turns out, I’m just a moody momma. Not pregos ... good news for (husband) Michael Plante.”
Lakewood High to ‘Roar’
Congrats to Lakewood High School for winning the “Good Morning America” contest to have Katy Perry perform a song at their high school! More than 2,000 Lakewood High students lip-synched to Perry’s hit song, “Roar,” as part of the school’s video entry. Perry announced the winner on “Good Morning America” Oct. 18. “For me Lakewood really embodied a whole school spirit. You saw so many different people coming together to do one shot,” Perry said Friday. “It was so interesting and so well done.” Amazingly, the video was shot in one take and has been viewed on Vimeo more than 564,000 times and earned 246,000 views on YouTube. 7News first reported the news. Perry will perform at Lakewood High — the home of the Tigers (how’s that for some cosmic karma!) — on Oct. 25 and will be broadcast on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Proceeds from the concert reportedly will go to the Colorado flood relief effort. Check out the video at http://vimeo. com/75058173.
Strings restrung
I’ve been back to Strings once since owner Noel Cunningham died. Since his wife, Tammy, opted to close the place (running a restaurant is not her thing) the building on 17th Avenue and Humboldt had stood like a monument to a time when the restaurant was frequented by celebrities from stage and screen, along with loyal locals. When it was announced that there would be new life stirring in that space with the occupation of Humboldt Farm — Fish — Wine, a Rock Bottom founder Frank Day project, I, for one, was happy to hear of the rebirth. Humboldt opened recently under the leadership of Concept Restaurants. “From the instant our guests walk in and have that `wow moment’ to the time they leave, we want to make sure their

experience here is spectacular and memorable,” said Concepts designer Dianna Lynn. “Whether you are on top of the Denver foodie scene or visiting Humboldt for the first time and looking for an amazing dining experience, we are a welcoming place for everyone.” The remodeled restaurant features an oyster bar and open kitchen. The menu features reinterpreted classics as well as seasonal and modern cuisine. Humboldt is open daily from 11:30 a.m. Weekend brunch starts at the end of October.

Colorado Department of Transportation. In several phases there is going to be a widening of Wadsworth, and improvement of the sidewalks along it, which Waldman said are currently subpar and not ADA accessible. There will also be the removal of some drainage pipe crossings. There are other projects coming down the line, like building a roundabout at the Lamar Station, and the addition of public art to many of the stations.
Battle Continued from Page 1
said the original official development plan (ODP) which indicates that the city should take possesion of the 10 acre property if a school is not built on it it eight years is a zoning document, and does not create lots, and only proposes recommendations for council. Since these recommendations were not integrated into the final ODP, they are not valid. “There has never been an acceptance of the site,” he said. “The important thing to keep in mind is that dedication requires acceptance, and we cant find any acceptance from the city.”
One of the things that resident David Rothenburger would like to see is an improvement on some of the bike connections and trails. “I’m a runner and use these trails a lot, so I’ve seen the places that need to be fixed,” he said. Waldman said that all the comments gathered by the public will be taken by the consulting groups, who will organize it and find out what the most pressing issues are. “They’ll make recommendations for improvements and prioritize them, since we have only so much funding,” he said. “Once they have it all ready, it will be presented to city council, some time in March.”
The 2090 Wright St. Coalition argued that the land became the property of the city by common law dedication in 1975, and then by legal conveyance in 1977. “Jeffco and the city are asking the court to render a decision based on speculation and assumptions,” said Jo Timmins, counsel with 2090. “The ODP sets forth the intention, and that constitutes an offer of common law dedication. Acceptance is based on public use of land, which creates the presumption of acceptance, and constitutes acceptance, even if the city government rejects it.” Since the hearing was a summary judgment one, it is based on the notion that all material facts are undisputed. If Judge Enquist decides that the facts are in dispute, she can order a trial to determine the validity of the information before making her ruling.

Edge Theatre focuses on character in 2014 Plays call for smaller casts, bigger emotions
THE EDGE 2014 SEASON
By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com The Edge is getting smaller, but no less provocative. With a high premium on new works and regional premieres, the theater is delving into new comedic and dramatic territory. The season features “Orphans” by Lyle Kessler, “The Beauty Queen of Leenane” by Martin McDonagh, “A Round Heeled Woman” by Jane Prowse, “The Graduate” adapted by Terry Johnson, On The Edge: A Festival of New Plays, “A Steady Rain” by Keith Huff, “Buried Child” by Sam Shepard and Holiday on the Edge. “This is our fourth season, and second in our new space, and we’re really excited about what’s happening here,” said Rick Yaconis, executive producer and artistic director of The Edge. “We’ve had bigger cast shows in 2013, as high as 16 in ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ and ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’ but we really want to focus on smaller, simpler shows.” Of the new shows, Yaconis said that three shows have a small cast — two to three actors — and the largest cast will have seven people. Yaconis said one of the major themes for the season is plays with strong leading lady roles. “’Beauty Queen’ and ‘Round Heeled Woman’ have fantastically interesting women,” Yaconis said. “And of course ‘The Graduate’ has one of the most iconic female roles of all time in Mrs. Robinson.” Since its inception the theater has been devoted to promoting new work, and in 2014 The Edge will feature On the Edge, which is a festival of new plays. The theater’s holiday show will be specially commissioned for the theater by a local playwright Ellen K. Graham. “’Round Heeled Woman’ and ‘Steady Rain’ are both regional premieres, as

well,” Yaconis said. Yaconis said that the show is split pretty evenly between comedy and drama, although some of the comedies — specifically “Orphans,” “Beauty Queen of Leenane” and “A Steady Rain” — are pretty dark. The theater is already going full steam ahead on the new season — the first two shows have already been cast, and they are currently working on casting the following two shows. “The nice thing about the space we have now is there is so much flexibility to do different things,” Yaconis said.

Forum supports amendment By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Hispanic leaders came together in Denver on Oct. 21 to urge folks to support a school finance tax hike that they say will greatly impact Latino students. Colorado Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia headlined a forum at El Museo de las Americas, where he touted the highlights of Amendment 66, a statewide ballot measure that will create $950 million in new taxes annually to fund an overhaul of the state’s school finance overhaul. The money would be used to implement reforms that were put in place earlier this year by the Democrat-led Legislature. The taxes would fund full-day kindergarten, preschool for at-risk youth and pro-
vide more resources for school programs, including those that directly impact English language learners. Garcia, a Democrat, said that the tax hike — which will have a greater impact on tax payers with higher incomes — is a small price to pay to ensure that Colorado remains one of the most highly educated states in the country. “We’re going to go from the second most well-educated state to the first, and lot of those kids that will help us get there will be a lot of our Latino kids,” Garcia said. Growing numbers of English language learners and children living in poverty in counties like Adams and Jefferson would get more funding under Amendment 66. Both Jefferson County Public Schools and the Adams 12 Five Star School district
would receive a 14 percent funding increase, if the measure passes. The districts would also see similar per pupil funding increases. Adams 12 would go from a per-pupil funding base of $6,463 to $7,076, a 9.5 percent increase, while Jeffco would see its per-pupil funding increase from $6,486 to $7,112, a 9.7 percent raise. Amendment 66 would raise taxes on all Colorado taxpayers. It would raise income taxes to 5 percent on everyone earning $75,000 or less. Those who earn over that amount would pay 5 percent on the first $75,000 in taxable income and 5.9 percent on taxable income above $75,000. Colorado’s current income tax rate is a flat 4.63 percent, regardless of income level.
Guillermo “Bill” Vidal, who briefly served as Denver mayor and who currently is the CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Denver, said that his chamber board supports Amendment 66, regardless of the price tag. “For a business group to support a tax increase is an unusual thing,” he said. Critics say the ballot measure only throws more money at a bureaucratic school system, and that the new formula does not have enough reform or transparency to be effective. Opponents also blast Amendment 66 as a huge tax increase on all Colorado taxpayers at a time when they could least afford it. Not a single Republican voted for the legislation that is tied to Amendment 66, Senate Bill 213.
Precise funding for the district is difficult to nail down
district in the state. That breaks down to $7,112 per pupil, which would mean a 9.7 percent increase over the $6,486 that the current funding system allows. About $33 million of the spending from new revenue would be mandated, most of it earmarked to support full-day kindergarten and preschool programs for at-risk students. Roughly $20 million of the mandated dollars would provide additional funding to area schools that receive federal funding and that have large numbers of children who are eligible for free lunch programs. Much of the money that Jeffco schools with high “at-risk” populations receive would be spent at their own discretion. “We have smart principals and smart schools, and they’ll use the money appropriately,” said Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson. “They could hire another teacher, have more technology, or bring in more tutoring, whatever.” As for the rest of the $71 million, about $38 million would be up to the district to determine how the money is spent. After that, Stevenson said that Jeffco has the potential of bringing in an additional $31 million into the district by way of other types of funding that will depend on legislative action and the amount of tax revenue that is actually collected by the state. That includes a potential for an additional $18 million in special education funding. State Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, a member of the Legislature’s Senate Education Committee, is a teacher with the district’s 21st Century Virtual Academy, an online middle and secondary school. Kerr, a proponent of Amendment 66, points to another area of funding that the district should expect to see as a result the measure — a chunk of a $100 million education innovation grant program, where teachers and administrators would be able to apply for education project funds. “If we’re funded on a per capita basis, and Jeffco is about 10 percent of the state, we would get 10 percent of that,” Kerr said. “That’s $10 million.”

It is widely accepted that if voters approve Amendment 66 on Nov. 5, the measure will pump at least $71 million of new funding into Jefferson County Public Schools. After that, who knows? There are a number of complexities tied the school finance overhaul ballot question, which makes it difficult for supporters to articulate a “bottom line” dollar figure to uneasy voters. At the same, it’s not uncommon to hear opponents discount nuance when talking about Amendment 66’s involved funding structure, often citing funding percentages that are probably worst case scenario for Jeffco. If passed, the measure would create $950 million in new taxes initially and about $1 billion in 2015 to enact major changes to the state’s school finance formula. The measure would fund full-day kindergarten, preschool for at-risk youth and would provide more resources for English language learners, special education students and children who are in gifted and talented programs. Additionally, the measure aims to reduce class sizes and would reform per-pupil funding statewide in a more equitable fashion, proponents argue. But the overhaul comes with a hefty price tag. Amendment 66 would raise taxes on all Colorado taxpayers. The two-tiered proposal would raise income taxes to 5 percent on everyone earning $75,000 or less. Those who earn over that amount would pay 5 percent on the first $75,000 in taxable income and 5.9 percent on taxable income above $75,000. Colorado’s current income tax rate is a flat 4.63 percent, regardless of income level. But just how much of those tax dollars will end up going to Jeffco schools is a question that nobody can answer at this time. Amendment 66 proponents acknowledge that taxpayers in Jefferson County will not see a 100-percent return on investment, meaning that a good portion of their tax dollars will go to students in other school districts. That’s a key fact that opponents often latch on to when arguing against the amendment. But supporters say that’s the price of doing business when the goal is to have adequate and equitable funding for all children across the state. “This is not just about Jefferson County,” said state Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge, an Amendment 66 supporter. “I’m looking out for the good of the whole state. We may not get all of the money back, but why not have a generous attitude?”
Total funding will vary
If voters pass Amendment 66, it would restore school dollars back to 2009 levels, before the state cut about $1 billion in funding during the economic downturn of that period. Amendment 66 would bring $71 million in new revenue to the Jeffco school district, which is currently the largest school
What opponents say
Proponents believe that Amendment 66 could end up bringing somewhere between $71 and $102 million into Jeffco schools, money that they say the district needs badly. But opponents believe the return just isn’t worth the investment for Jeffco taxpayers. They say that for all of the talk about money beyond the “guaranteed” $71 million, there is just no way to know how much of those funds will end up here. Because of that, opponents stick to their belief that Jeffco schools will only get back a little more than 50 cents for every dollar that is spent by county taxpayers. That’s based off a calculation where Jeffco would end up paying about $126 million in new taxes. Supporters believe that the district could end up getting back up to 80 or 90 cents for every Jeffco tax dollar, when it’s all said and done. But opponents scoff. “It’s possible we’ll get more money, but that means that Jeffco taxpayers are going

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

Amendment Continued from Page 18
to pay more while the percentage remains the same,” said Laura Boggs, a conservative member of the Jefferson County Board of Education. Opponents also blast the measure because it will send more money to schools in Denver and Aurora than any place else. That’s true. Denver will see its per-pupil funding increase by about 15 percent, while Aurora students will get a 17 percent per-pupil increase, compared to Jeffco’s 9.7 percent rise. Of course, Denver has nearly twice the number of at-risk students as Jeffco. But that’s not the point, opponents say. “It fundamentally treats the same type of student different, based on which district they’re enrolled in,” said Ben DeGrow of the Independence Institute. “The rich are getting richer because (Denver Public
Schools) is already bringing in more dollars than students in Jeffco.” DeGrow and Boggs also say that it’s unfair to Jeffco that children who are deemed “at-risk” here receive less funding than do students in Denver. And Boggs said that “language and poverty shouldn’t be the markers” when determining district funding, anyway. “We need to go back to the drawing board and have a conversation about what it takes to get each student what they need,” Boggs said. “I would support tax increases all day if it changes academic outcomes.” But opponents like Kerr and Schafer believe the money will make a tremendous difference for kids across the state. “As a state, Coloradans should pull together and do what we need to, to make sure everybody in Colorado gets what it needs to be successful,” Kerr said. “I think it’s a moral choice,” Schafer said. “Are we going to educate all of our children, or just the wealthy children of the wealthy people? I’m taking care of all the people, regardless of where they live.”
Denver Public Schools claimed last week that it is projected to become the state’s largest school district, overtaking Jefferson County’s student population numbers. But Jeffco officials say it’s premature to make that claim, considering that it hasn’t even released its own enrollment numbers for next year, nor has the state Department of Education signed off on DPS’s claim. Through a news release, DPS boasted that it will have a projected 2013 student enrollment of more than 88,000 students, the highest ever in the urban district. If so, those numbers mean DPS’s enrollment would be larger than what Jefferson County Public Schools has been over the last year few years, which has been near 86,000. The DPS enrollment projection would continue a growth pattern at Denver schools since 2004, but one that has particularly picked up steam over the last few years. The school district claims that its “enrollment boom is a result of primarily of thousands more families choosing to send their students to Denver’s schools.” “I am very grateful to our teachers and school leaders for their work in driving the improvements in our schools that are driving such extraordinary enrollment increases,” DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg said, through a district announcement. But Jeffco Superintendent Cindy Stevenson said that she recently reached out
to Boasberg to express her disappointment over DPS choosing to announce its enrollment projection. “I don’t think it’s appropriate to do that,” she said. “I think you wait until you have the numbers, until they are official. Until then, I think you give that courtesy to the other school districts.” Jeffco has yet to release its own enrollment projections for this school year. Lynn Setzer, a Jeffco schools spokeswoman, said that an assessment team typically obtains a preliminary count sometime in October, before it conducts an internal audit of those numbers. Once that happens, the enrollment figures are sent to the Department of Education for its own review. Setzer said that providing accurate student population numbers to CDE are important because “enrollment is the primary driver for our state funding.” “We get per-pupil funding,” she said. “You have to prove that the students you are reporting are actually going to your schools, so it’s really important that you have the correct number of students.” Although the numbers released by DPS are not official, its claim that it will surpass Jeffco in overall enrollment comes as no surprise. DPS’s enrollment has been aided by younger families moving into trendy city neighborhoods, such as the Denver Stapleton district. Meanwhile, Jeffco’s enrollment numbers have dipped every year since 2009, which is primarily attributed to a graying population. “It has been projected for several years that our enrollment would remain flat, if not decline a bit, because of the aging population of Jefferson County,” Setzer said.

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

Wheat ridge takes softball title Dynasty extends after near perfect softball season By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com AURORA - To be a proper Farmer one needs to have commitment, dedication and the right tools. If you have all three you have a chance for a blooming crop. But if you then add some swagger and a ton of heart, then you have the 2013 Wheat Ridge Farmers, who beat Erie 4-0 to win 4A state championship Sunday at Aurora Sports Park. Senior Jessica Salbato was near perfect throwing five hitless innings, and she was backed by her high-powered offense that attached Erie early on, and just like that the Farmers have won their fourth state title in the past six years. “I am just really proud of my entire team,” Salbato said. “It definitely wasn’t easy and coach (Marty Stricklett) told us it wouldn’t be. But it feels good to be state champs.” Sophomore Ann Marie Torres, who right now as a sophomore might be the best hitter in the entire state, tripled in the first in-

Torres then hit a huge two-run double in the fourth inning, as a part of a 3-for-4 two RBI day. But give credit to Salbato, who not only held a Erie team that averaged a state best
.441 average as a team to no runs, but she also had key hits in the victory over Erie and a game-tying RBI in the fifth inning of their win over Broomfield which tied the game 4-4. “She is so just tough. She is always positive and always ready to go. We are lucky she
is on our side,” Stricklett said. On their road to a state title Wheat Ridge beat Roosevelt 5-0, Mountain View 9-4, Broomfield 9-4 (in a game where they trailed late) and finally Erie. The Farmers wrap up their season 24-1 with their only blemish coming in an 8-3 loss to 5A Standley Lake on Oct. 4. They finished a perfect 7-0 in 4A Jeffco. “We could have gone a perfect 25-0 this season but we needed that loss to kind of get some things right and put us in check. It would have been fun to go perfect but it doesn’t matter we are still champs,” Stricklett said. More impressively was the fact that at the beginning of the season Wheat Ridge certainly did not look championship worthy. Not only did the Farmers lose all-time great Wheat Ridge players in Morgan Wilkie and Kayla Mathewson, but their first few practices of the season were so sloppy it had everyone concerned. “The beginning of the season was a challenge for us,” Apodaca said. “But we knew we had a good team and we kept getting better and better. And now we are champs.” Stricklett has helped produce and now extend a dynasty more than a half decade long.

Ralston Valley too much for rival Arvada West Wildcats much improved; Mustangs have a lot to prove By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com ARVADA — Arvada West wanted to use the match-up against Ralston Valley as a measuring stick but it turns out they are still a few inches short. And in a meeting between cross-town rivals the Mustangs beat the Wildcats 4114 Thursday at North Area Athletic Complex. A-West went toe-to-toe with Ralston
Valley early in the game, tying the action 14-14 at one point early in the second quarter. However, the Mustangs showed why they are still one of the perennial powers in 5A football scoring 22 second quarter points, taking a 28-14 lead into halftime. “We wanted to come out tonight and see where we stacked up against the best,” A-West coach Greg Whisler said. “And at the beginning we were their equals. We just couldn’t keep up.” Ralston Valley running back Kyle Rush had a huge two touchdown day on just a handful of touches. The sophomore had 183 rushing yards on just six carries —
one of those a 77-yard touchdown run that left defenders in the dust. The Mustangs improved to 5-3 and 2-2 in 5A North Metro with the victory. Ralston Valley had lost three of its previous five games, but all too very good teams. “If you look at the teams we lost to two of them were undefeated and the other was a one loss team,” Ralston Valley coach Matt Loyd said. “We lost a lot from last year but we are still a pretty good team.” Two of the three losses the Mustangs suffered this season were to then undefeated teams in ThunderRidge and Fairview, and their other loss came by one-
loss Pomona. The Wildcats (4-4, 2-2) are wildly improved themselves, already winning more games than they did in the past two seasons. Whisler took over a team that had only two wins two seasons ago and he has already brought them back to respectability. “We are gotten a lot better, you can tell by looking at us. But we want to be right there with Ralston Valley and Pomona. We still have some work to do,” Whisler said. Arvada West will play Pomona Friday at 7 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex. Ralston Valley will play Legacy Friday at 7 p.m. at North Stadium.

Jeffco football: Green Mountain captures big win Faith Christian wins big again; Green Mountain too By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com Alameda: After finding their mojo over the past couple weeks the Alameda Pirates lost it and a 41-7 decision to Conifer Friday at Trailblazer Stadium. The Pirates had previously won backto-back games for the first time all season beating Arvada and Summit. However, they were no match for Conifer who scored six rushing touchdowns by five different players. Alameda (2-6, 2-2) will play Evergreen Friday at 4 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Arvada: Desperate for their second win of the season the Arvada Bulldogs were narrowly beaten by Summit 43-34 Friday at Summit High School. Arvada junior quarterback Elias De La Rosa threw for 312 yards and four touchdowns, and senior Jesse Jackson rushed for an even 100 yards and a touchdown. But they couldn’t convert down the stretch and Summit beat Arvada for its second win of the season. The Bulldogs (1-7, 0-4) look to carry the momentum for a tough loss into a win they play D’Evelyn Friday, at 7:30 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Bear Creek: Despite a late game rally the Bear Creek Bears fell to Arapahoe 2412 Friday at Jeffco Stadium. The Bears fell behind 10-0 but scored a pair of second half touchdown putting them back into the game. However, Arapahoe scored 14 fourth quarter points and held off feisty Bear Creek. The Bears could simply not slow down senior Jose Cancannon who rushed for 117 yards. Bear Creek (3-5, 1-3) will wrap up its season playing Columbine Thursday, at 6 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium. D’Evelyn: The D’Evelyn Jaguars lost a shootout to Lutheran 47-40 Saturday at Trailblazer Stadium. Senior quarterback Connor Mateer threw two interceptions but scored four rushing touchdowns in the loss. D’Evelyn scored 20 second quarter points and then 20 more points in the fourth quarter, but it was the scoreless quarters that did the Jaguars in. D’Evelyn (5-4, 2-3) has lost three consecutive close games. They will wrap up their regular season playing Arvada Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Faith Christian: The Faith Christian Eagles wrapped up their regular season with another blowout victory beating The Academy 43-3 Friday at Faith Christian

Senior Jonas Spitzer scored a pair of rushing touchdowns and senior Daniel Langewisch rushed for 117 yards. The win was not only the Eagles’ fifth straight win but it was their fifth straight win by at least 40 points. Faith Christian (7-2, 4-0) won the 2A Flatirons league title and will now wait on a playoff opponent. Golden: The Golden Demons got hot late but it was too late as they fell 40-20 by Standley Lake Friday at North Area Athletic Complex. Standley Lake scored all 40 of its points in the first half and then went scoreless in the second half. Golden went scoreless the first half but scored 20 second half points. The Demons were unable to carry the momentum from their first win of the season last week into the game against a good Standley Lake team. Golden (1-7, 1-2) will play host powerhouse Montbello Thursday, at 6 p.m. at Colorado School of Mines.
Green Mountain: The Green Mountain Rams struck first and never let up beating John F. Kennedy 42-7 Friday at All-City Field. Junior Chance Boyce and senior Josh Perkins each scored a pair of rushing touchdown for the Rams who ran all over Kennedy for 192 total rushing yards. Green Mountain scored 14 points in each of the first three quarter and then called off the dogs in the fourth. The Rams (5-3, 2-1) will play Denver South Friday, at 4 p.m. at All-City Field. Lakewood: After a big win the week before the Lakewood Tiger suffered a big loss at the hands of Columbine in a 50-29 effort Thursday at Jeffco Stadium. Senior quarterback Casey Nichols threw three interceptions but he also ran for three rushing touchdowns. Junior running back Sean Pinson added 98 rushing yards and a touchdown. However, Lakewood’s defense game up 43 points before halftime and were rushed on for a total of 342 yards. The Tigers (2-6, 1-3) will wrap up their
season at Mullen High School at 7 p.m. on Friday. Pomona: The Pomona Panthers lost a heartbreaker to undefeated Fairview 33-30 Friday at North Area Athletic Complex. Down two touchdowns late in the game Pomona rallied to tie the game 30-30 and send it into overtime. However, Jonathan Swartzwelter converted an overtime field goal to remain as the only unbeaten in 5A football. Junior quarterback Justin Roberts threw two touchdowns and senior running back Chris Marquez rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns. Pomona (6-2, 3-1) will wrap up its regular season against A-West Friday at 7 p.m. at NAAC. Wheat Ridge: The Wheat Ridge Farmers went on a road trip and came home with a 46-7 victory at Grand Junction Central on Saturday. The victory for the Farmers was an important one as they have only two remaining games left on their schedule, both against league opponents.
The team’s few seniors not only heard they had no chance at a 5A Jeffco title but also heard they weren’t supposed to be as good as last year’s team. One of those seniors is team captain Cruz Marquez, who on Wednesday at North Area Athletic Complex scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory over Ralston Valley to win a third consecutive league title. “All we heard was that we lost so much, and we weren’t going to be as good as last
year’s team,” Marquez said. “We aren’t going to be hearing that anymore.” In a game that seemed destined for overtime both teams were stuck at 0-0 for over 70 minutes of game action. However, destiny changed with exactly 10:23 left in the game. Marquez, desperate to make something happen for his teammates, make a move on a defender just outside of Ralston Valley’s box. Marquez was pulled down to the ground
by a frustrated defender and was awarded a free kick. The kick was from straight away midfield and even though the percentages to score from that spot were slim, Marquez ripped a ball low left through a wall of defenders and right past sprawled out Ralston Valley junior goaltender Tony Celano. “I thought I could have caught it a little harder but it turned out out to be just enough,” Marquez said. “I’m a captain. I felt it was my job to make something happen.”
for a 3-0 win. Senior Marie Gillcrist led the team with 15 kills. Senior Kiki Castiglia had four aces in the match.

Westborough courts debated at meeting By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com Lakewood residents living near Westborough Park considered options for what to do at the park during an Oct. 17 public meeting. Residents gathered at Bear Creek K-8 to talk about the 2.5 acre park, 9600 W. Dartmouth Place, which features a tennis court and small playground. Allison Scheck, marketing and community relations administrator, said that the meeting is to facilitate conversation about
if the neighbors would like to keep the tennis courts or do something else with them. “We’re debating what to do with the courts,” said Ross Williams, facilities planner with Lakewood. “The courts would need to be rebuilt from the bottom up. And if we’re not seeing a lot of tennis use, do you want to spend the money to put something else in?” Both Scheck and Williams spoke about the possibility of the neighborhood looking into the Neighborhood Participation Program to get grant money if they want to do anything else with the park.
Resident Kim Hoyt said that the tennis courts need to stay, because she sees people playing tennis at the courts frequently. “A lot of people don’t have access to courts, especially in the area,” she said. “Tennis is a sport that kids and parents can play together.” Resident Megan Fretwell said that a good addition to the park might be lights, so that the tennis court can be used longer, and it might discourage any illegal activities from going on in the park. Other residents voiced concerns about park maintenance and trash clean-up.
“It’s been a strange year for irrigation and maintenance at the park, which changed due to drought conditions, which were then changed, and then we had all the flooding,” Williams said. The park was dedicated to the city in 1971, and the city has worked on improvements since 1972. In the late 1970s and early 1980s they changed out the playground, but haven’t really done any improvements to the park since. The city will take the comments from residents and decide on the next step in addressing the issues in the park.
police report Unusual items found at Kline St.
Lakewood detectives have found what appears to be an unusual collection of items at a vacant house in the 1200 block of Kline St. At about 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 17, a cleaning crew that was hired by a real estate agent to prepare the house for listing found items they believed could be human remains in a shed. After looking at the items in the shed, police agents could in fact see what appeared to be bones and other objects perhaps used in some type of occult worship. Police were granted a search warrant for the entire property including the residence before continuing their investigation. The entire property was searched, and they found several bones that were obviously those of animals. They also found some that are most likely human and were collected. The human bones were sent to a lab for further examination to determine if in fact they are human and to see if any type of DNA can be recovered. The process could take several weeks or months. After investigating further, it was discovered that a man who once lived there was quite possibly an occultist. He moved from the property approximately 15-years-ago and is now deceased. The contents of the shed were extremely soiled and dust covered and very possibly may have been undisturbed since the resident left. One of the man’s relatives lived at the house until a few months ago.
Detectives have no evidence at this time that would indicate the property including the shed were ever a crime scene. They feel it more likely that the items were acquired elsewhere and brought to the Kline St. location, according to information provided by police. If the items are identified as being human in nature, detectives indicate that it may prove very difficult to determine when and where they were obtained. Detectives are asking anyone who may information that would assist them in their investigation to call the Lakewood Police Department at 303-987-7111.
Rodriguez taken into custody
Randy Rodriguez, 41, has been taken into custody on Monday, Oct. 21. Local law enforcement officials have been looking for Rodriguez since he bonded out of jail and cut off his ankle monitor. Members of the Safe Streets Task Force, Fugitive Unit, with location assistance from Lakewood police, took Rodriguez into custody. The arrest occurred in the City of Englewood after a period of surveillance done by members of several law enforcement agencies. Rodriguez had originally been arrested by Lakewood police in late September after a domestic violence incident where he severely beat his girlfriend. Two new warrants for Rodriguez’s arrest were issued after he cut the monitor off and disappeared.

of roadway remaining. Those repair efforts received some political attention this week, as members of the Colorado federal delegation, including Colorado U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall, Congressmen Ed Perlmutter, Jared Polis, and Cory Gardner, as well as state Gov. John Hickenlooper attended a press conference at the base of the Coal Creek Canyon road. The elected officials were gathered to celebrate the passed senate bill that ended the government shutdown as well as increasing the level of emergency transportation funding the state could receive from the federal government, from $100 million to $450 million.
“People around this state have rallied, as only Coloradoans can do, to make this a better, stronger state,” Gardner said. Perlmutter, who represents the 6th congressional district, which includes the Coal Creek area, said his niece who lives in Coal Creek Canyon was affected by the floods. He joined with the rest of the delegation to praise the work of CDOT and the construction contractors that were working to repair all state highways by Dec. 1. Perlmutter had unkind words about the government shutdown, but added that in the disaster recovery effort “we’re in this together, as a state, and as a nation.”
