Aviation event promotes mental health awareness Warbirds over Rockies informative, entertaining By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com Eighteen percent of adults nationwide suffer from some kind of a mental disorder, a number Brian O’Meara and Andrew Romanoff are trying to lower through education —and a little fun. “Mental illness is something as Americans we brush under the carpet, because if it’s not affecting you, it’s easy to ignore,” said O’Meara, organizer of Warbirds over the Rockies, a model aviation event that combines plane modeling with mental health awareness. Held Sept. 11-13 at the Arvada Modelers Airfield, 7608 State Highway 93, Warbirds brings together more than 300 modelers and model aircraft to entertain and educate attendees about modeling, wartime aircraft and mental health issues. “This is a patriotic, educational and entertaining event,” said Romanoff, president and CEO of Mental Health America, the beneficiary of the three-day event. “We have 5 million potential supporters in Colorado — everyone in this state is Warbirds continues on Page 12

Lakewood planning board scheduled to vote Sept. 9 By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com A contentious 6 1/2-hour meeting attended by about 250 residents over the relocation of a men’s community corrections center near West 8th Avenue and Quail Street in Lakewood ended without a decision. The city of Lakewood’s planning board, meeting Sept. 2, tabled the issue just after 1:30 a.m. It was scheduled to make a decision at Wednesday’s meeting (Sept. 9), after press deadline. (Go to coloradocommunitymedia.com for the latest coverage.) “We contend that this is the wrong location for this facility,” — Diane Duffey, president of the said Diane Duffey, local Daniels Welchester HOA resident and president of the Daniels Welchester Homeowner’s Association, after the Sept. 2 meeting. “We were not speaking from a position of fear. We were speaking from facts.” The community corrections program is now operated out of the historic New York Building at 1651

First forum held in school board race For a quick look at candidates, turn to page 5 By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com The recall election of the three majority members on the Jefferson County Board of Education loomed large at the election season’s first candidate forum, as nine of the dozen candidates vying for a seat shared their opinions. “Jeffco Schools has to be the best-performing district in this country and we can make this happen,” said David Hickey, a Lakewood resident attending the forum. “But we have to have the right people at the right time at the right place to make that happen.” The Centennial Institute, a think tank at Colorado Christian University, hosted the Aug. 31 forum, introducing candidates running for the board’s five seats. The recall targets the current board majority: board president Ken Witt, Julie Williams and John Newkirk. The three candidates running to replace the board majority — Susan Harmon, Ron Mitchell and Brad Rupert — did not attend the event. Rupert, Mitchell and Harmon later explained they had scheduling conflicts. “American public education is one of the glories of our free society, our republic that leads the world in so many ways…,” said John Andrews, forum moderator, Centennial Institute director and former Colorado
state senator. “Recent weeks have seen the drama of many thousands of petition signatures well above the required threshold filed asking the board majority to submit to the voters for a recall — that is, you’re fired or an affirmation … So all five director positions are at play.” About 200 people gathered in Colorado Christian University’s Leprino Hall for the forum, the first of several planned throughout the county. “Nothing is more important than the future of our kids,” Lakewood resident Patti Peters said. “As a veteran, we serve and protect our country for the next generation, so we have to serve and empower them to be the best they can be.” The event offered each candidate the chance to provide opening and closing statements, answer two broad questions and answer a series of direct and indirect yes or no questions. Question one was about the current recall election, followed by Jeffco’s achievement gap, funding, Common Core curriculum, assessments, charter schools, sex education, student-based budgeting, seventh- through 12th-grade schools, teacher compensation and retaining the district’s current superintendent, Dan McMinimee.

MEGHAN RUBLE Marketing and promotions coordinator in Lakewood About me I’m originally from Dallas, Texas, and have been in Colorado for almost 10 years. Both of my parents live here, as does my brother Killian, who ended up with all of the rhythm and coordination I desperately wanted as a child, struggled with as a teen and eventually gave up on as an adult. Fortunately, my lack of dance/athletic ability didn’t prevent me from completing my undergraduate degree at the University of Denver and beginning a career in marketing. What I do I’ve worked for the City of Lakewood for 2 1/2 years as a marketing coordinator, which means I do a lot of writing, advertising strategy and collaborative projects within the community resources department. I am also the editor of Lakewood’s Bravo Magazine, which you might receive in your mailbox! In my free time You’ll find me camping, reading, cooking or watching soccer. I also enjoy taking art classes at Washington Heights Arts Center on First Avenue. The building is an early 20th century schoolhouse, and I never get tired of looking at the class photos that line the halls. On the

Best part of my job The best part about my job is when I get to explore Lakewood and connect with residents. Lakewood is such a beautiful community, with some of the best architecture, neighborhoods and green spaces in the metro area. The residents here are some of the most kind, caring and involved folks I’ve ever met, and they are a joy to serve. In Lakewood, there is always somewhere exciting to visit (there are over 100 parks!) and new friends to meet. I love it here! Written by Clarke Reader.

CORRECTIONS Last week’s edition of the paper included a story about a proposed property tax increase to help fund Jefferson County Public Libraries. That tax increase would amount to 67 cents per $100,000 of property value, per month. The previous article failed to make clear that the added cost was by month, equalling $8.04 a year for every $100,000 of home value.

Food - Italian food gets a chance to shine at the festival, with new vendors every year bringing variety and spice to the dishes. Visitors will be able to sample everything from sweets and cookies to pizza and pasta. Tony Lonardo, of Carmine Lonardo’s Italian Market, is one of the festival’s original vendors, and bring sausage and pepper sandwiches and sweet cannolis every year. “The best part is the people - so many people come through,” he said. “Every restaurant is trading stuff to eat, and everyone is helping each other out.”

That’s amore Five things to know about Belmar’s Festival Italiano By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Everyone is Italian when it comes to Belmar’s Festival Italiano. In just a few short years, the free two-day Italian themed event has established itself as one of the key Lakewood community events, and there’s just one reason for that, according to Vicki Dunbar, marketing and communications coordinator with Belmar. “What makes this festival special is the authenticity and how the event captures the Italian culture,” she wrote in an email interview. “This festival allows our guests to step outside their doorsteps and travel to Italy for a weekend.” The festival runs 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13. Many of the vendors at the festival have been participating for years, and it provides them a rare opportunity to meet other paisanos from around the community. “It’s just a wonderful showcase of our culture, and we’re always very proud to be there,” said Vickie Corder, owner of Grammy’s Italian Goodies. “It shows so much of what we’re about as a people, and is always so well run.”
Wine - The best compliment to Italian food is Italian wine, and there will be plenty for visitors to sample. Children can get it on the fun at Balistreri Vineyard Children’s Grape Stomping, with proceeds going to Project Angel Heart.
Art - In addition to artisan vendors, Belmar are galleries are getting in on the fun, according to Dunbar. Two Block 7 galleries, DiagnosisArt and Anne Van Lueewen, will be hosting mini events at outside studios.“DiagnosisArt is partnering with Painting With A Twist in painting sessions of the ‘Anatomy of an Italian Landscapes.’ Sessions will take place from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12,” Dunbar wrote. “Participants will be directed on how to paint a small canvas plus enjoy biscotti and coffee and espresso at the studio. The event is free to attend, though donations are welcomed.”
Entertainment - A highlig ht for many are the flag thr owers from Florence, but they’re not the only people there to entertain. There are two stages with live entertainment running mo st of the days, and strollin g performers out in the crowds. Dunbar said every year new performers com e in to spice things up. Thi year, there are also brand s new bocce courts for the two -day tournament.

September’s 5280 Magazine Is Out With Five-Star Professional Insert
Every September I like to remind readers that 5280 does not rate real estate agents the way it does doctors and other professionals.

Autumn is in stock all over town. Photo by Clarke Reader
A taste of fall in local foods By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com
If one needs proof we’re in a season of transition, a trip to the grocery store on the Friday before Labor Day should clear it up. Swinging by the City Commons King Soopers finds a store perfectly capturing the switch from summer to autumn, from hot and sweet to cool and spicy. At the front entrance, shoppers are met with jacko’-lantern sculptures and flowers in quintessentially autumnal shades — dark oranges, scarlet, faded golds and yellows — just a few feet from watermelons and other summer fruits. Inside the store, there’s a Starbucks station with the usual queue of students on the way to class, stayat-home mothers and fathers getting a caffeine jolt while holding their children’s hands, and businesspeople chatting away on phones. Among the orders for the summer treats like the Blackberries & Crème and Strawberry Shortcake Frappuccino drinks (both of which expired on Labor Day) were several people
asking about when the Pumpkin Spice Latte would be available (turns out its became available on Sept. 8 for those who’ve been checking off the days on their calendar). The sports memorabilia for sale also shows the season — the Rockies’ black and purple is getting pushed to the back by the Broncos’ vivid orange and blue: shirts, hats, paper plates and cups, designs on cakes and cookies. If orange and blue are your colors, then what a time to be alive. The push in the store is one last barbecue blast for the summer, particularly with the long weekend, while at the same time setting up the Halloween decorations. Steaks, corn on the cob and kabobs are just a stone’s throw away from bags of Snickers, Reese’s and Butterfingers. For now, it’s the best of both worlds — still the smallest sliver of summer left, with autumn’s tendrils reaching ever further. Shoppers seemed united in a common plan: Better get those tastes of summer now. They won’t be around much longer.
Police investigate fatal car accident The Lakewood Police Department Traffic Unit is investigating a fatal motorcycle collision that occurred at 12:45 a.m. on Sept. 3 on South Kipling Parkway between West Exposition Avenue and West Alameda Avenue. The motorcycle was being ridden by Konrad Gula, 26, of Denver. Gula was riding northbound in the southbound lanes. The collision took place when a Mercedes was traveling southbound on South Kipling Parkway and hit head on with the motorcycle. Gula was pronounced dead at the scene. It is unknown at this time if alcohol of drugs were involved. A toxicology report is pending on Gula. The Mercedes was a reported stolen vehicle out of Denver. After the collision, the occupants of the car ran from the area. An extensive area check did not find them. The identification of the occupants of the Mercedes is unknown at this time. Witnesses report the Mercedes was occupied by a male and female. Their age is unknown, but they have been described as being “younger.” The investigation is continuing and investigators are asking for anyone who might have information on the occupants of the Mercedes to contact the Lakewood Police Department at 303-987-7111. West Metro, police investigate fire At 12:49 a.m. Sept. 6, West Metro Fire and Rescue and the Lakewood Police Department responded to the Trails End Motel on a call of a structure fire. The motel is located at 9025 W. Colfax Ave. The fire was discovered by a maintenance worker after he smelled smoke coming from inside a room. West Metro kept the fire from spreading and only one unit was damaged. After the fire was out, a body was discovered inside the unit. The person in the room was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators from both departments arrived on scene and indications at this point the fire was accidental in nature. The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation. The cause of death will be determined by the coroner’s office. Investigators do not believe the fire was intentionally started and are not looking for anyone else involved. The identity of the deceased person is not being released at this time.

CASA is there when no one else is Volunteer organization gives support to children in need By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Every week, Jefferson County resident Jill Ross looks forward to her hug from one 14-year-old girl, who has lived in three different homes and had two different guardian ad litems and case workers. But Ross has been there through it all. “And I will be,” she said. “I’m one person making a difference in that 14-year-old girl’s life, when she may think nobody is there for her.” Ross is a Court Appointed Special Advocate or CASA for the 1st Judicial District, which consists of Jefferson and Gilpin counties. CASAs “are a child’s eyes and ears,” said Leah Varnell, executive director of Jefferson/Gilpin CASA. “They represent the best interest of the child.” CASA is in the process of recruiting new volunteers. Currently, CASA is able to provide support for only 30 percent of cases
CASA DATES TO MARK ON THE CALENDAR Sept. 26 WHAT: A Night for CASA dinner WHEN: 6 p.m. WHERE: The Marriott Denver West, 1717 Denver West Blvd. in Golden ABOUT: Evening includes cocktails, dinner and silent and live auctions. All proceeds benefit CASA of Jefferson and Gilpin counties. Individual tickets cost $150, and tables of 10 in court for abused or neglected children, Varnell said. It is important work, she said, and added judges have voiced their desire to have an advocate appointed to every case of abused or neglected children. Many children in the court system have been let down by adults, Varnell said. “Those children need to know that their advocate is someone they can trust.” Only a small part of what advocates do is go to court. The most important job of
are available for $1,500. Sponsorships at three increments of cost are also available.
WHERE: Jefferson County Courthouse, 100 Jefferson County Parkway in Golden.
CONTACT: CASA Jeffco/Gilpin’s office at 303271-6535 or info@casajeffcogilpin.com.
ABOUT: The training course includes about 40 hours of training sessions and runs on various dates throughout October. Training will include classroom assignments on relevant topics and court observation. A swearing-in ceremony will take place from 4:30-5:30 p.m. Oct. 28.
Oct. 6 WHAT: First day of training for new CourtAppointed Special Advocates WHEN: 5:30-9 p.m. a CASA is to gather information, from any source possible, about the child’s needs, Varnell said. They talk to foster parents, case workers, doctors, therapists and teachers. Then they present that information to a judge. Tom Ashe has been an advocate for seven years. “The best thing that I can give them is my time,” Ashe said. “These kids need a responsible adult in their life. They have been let down time and time again.”
CONTACT: Tiffany Schlag at 303-271-6537 or at tiffanyschlag@casajeffcogilpin.com. Having raised a family of eight children, in addition to many years as a youth athletics coach and Cub and Scout master, Ashe knew becoming an advocate was a way to make a difference. But the work is just as rewarding for the advocate, CASA Kerry Bishop said. “When a kid you’re advocating for says, ‘I love you,’ it’s powerful and fulfilling.” Bishop’s advocacy helped a 16-yearold girl finish high school. And now, she is enrolling at a community college.

Harriet Hunter Ford
Every year about this time, I get a hankering to head “home” to eastern Nebraska. AROUND I was born and TOWN raised — an ongoing process even now — in Columbus, the county seat of Platte County. Even though I haven’t lived there since 1960 and have no plans to move back, it’s still home. When I was growing up, it was a big deal when we got our first traffic light, and I remember in my very early years the milk was delivered in a horse-drawn vehicle and we had gravel roads. The population was about 10,000, and we thought we lived in a city. The population is now more than double what it was in the olden days, but any way you slice it, it’s still a small town. The trip’s highlight will be spending time at the lake and seeing many of my family members, including two of my great-grandsons. Our mom inherited the farm from her grandfather so the property has been in the family for more than 100 years. There was a very small sandpit where my dad taught the four kids how to fish. We also learned to hunt and shoot guns.

Support for GLBTQ teens saves lives September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. While suicide often catches surviving family members and friends by surprise, a lot of scientific research exists about the causes and deterrents of suicide. Knowledge makes a difference and saves lives. In addition to the immense pressure that typical adolescents face as they transition into adulthood, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (GLBTQ) youth have an extra burden concerning whether or not they will be accepted by their peers, family and community based on their gender identity and/or sexual orientation. According to the Centers for Disease Control, GLBTQ adolescents attempt suicide at more than twice the rate of their heterosexual peers – partly due to more

frequent episodes of bullying, violence, and rejection. Subjection GUEST to homophobia can COLUMN traumatize a young person, leaving her or him susceptible to feelings of hopelessness and despair, and increase the likelihood of turning to suicide as a perceived solution to an overwhelming problem. Two main areas have been identified as key possible locations for GLBTQ teenagers to increase their self-esteem, cultivate protective factors and build a sense of resiliency: schools and family. Because schools play a significant role in most teenagers’ lives, schools that acknowledge the reality of the unique struggles faced by GLBTQ youth can create an

environment where GLBTQ students are at lower risk for depression and suicide. Strategies for creating this “safe space” include allowing student-led clubs that welcome all students, implementing training for school staff, and providing students with access to gender and sexual orientation-specific health information. Alongside the school environment, the family’s response to their GLBTQ teenager’s identity and experiences can have an enormous impact on their emotional well-being and sense of safety.

Marijuana policy in unincorporated Jefferson County By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com

1
Amendment 64 of the Colorado Constitution authorizes recreational use of marijuana, and allows operation facilities for cultivation, manufacturing, testing and retail sales. However, the amendment allows counties to regulate the industry, including banning any of the four operations. In Jefferson County, a moratorium forbidding all commercial marijuana operations ends Jan. 1.
Following the meetings, a decision was made to allow testing facilities in unincorporated Jefferson County, and continue the prohibition of marijuana cultivation and manufacturing facilities, and retail stores.

Dad and Mom decided we needed a cabin so a small lumber mill was set up down by the river where huge cottonwood trees could be turned into planks for the new building. The lumber was stored in the hayloft of the big barn so it could season, and the next year “we” started building. My two brothers and I “helped” with construction. We actually thought they couldn’t have done it without us. In this age of political correctness and overwhelming concern about children’s safety, my parents would surely be reported to child protective services. We climbed on scaffolds, on the roof and even in the rafters of the cabin, which had a cement floor. One of our favorite things was to hang from the rafters and drop to the beds below. Our parents had the sandpit expanded over the years, and I think it now covers about 80 acres. It’s a beautiful lake

with peninsulas, coves, islands and huge trees. My brother — who along with my sister-in-law still live on the farm —and my sister now own the farm and lake and generously share it with me and my family, who all look forward to visiting at least once a year. Another lake is being created with a third to follow at some point in the future. My sister and her family have built a large boat house and are restoring the cabin which hadn’t been updated since it was built. In addition to lots of very good fishing, we will spend time boating, water skiing, wake boarding, swimming, having fish fries and bonfires, visiting, eating, playing games and enjoying being with people we love. Many family members will be camping out. I will not be among them. My Girl Scout days are behind me and I consider “roughing it” to be staying at the local Ramada. Life is good. It just doesn’t get any better than that.
Beginning on May 29, a series of meetings took place, in which county staff informed county commissioners Libby Szabo, Casey Tighe and Don Rosier on all aspects of marijuana, including retail, manufacturing, testing and distribution.

A public hearing on the ordinance is scheduled for 8 a.m. Sept. 22 in Hearing Room 1 of the Jefferson County Administration and Courts Building, 100 Jefferson County Parkway in Golden.

Making it hard to say
no Arvada’s Scrumptious features a recipe book of more than 500 flavors of ice cream, and offerings change on a daily basis.

scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. But what kind? When craving a frozen treat, there aren’t just flavors to consider: Does old-fashioned ice cream sound best? What about frozen yogurt, where customers can build their own dream sundae out of dozens of toppings and flavors? Craving something more decadent? There’s gelato, too. In the same way coffee shops and breweries have proliferated with a variety of deviations and approaches to their products, ice cream has taken on new meanings. For some, it might be one — or all — of the above varieties and could also include classics like Dairy Queen’s soft serve. It’s a growing industry, and businesspeople and artisans alike have found success in diversity. “There’s something about the instant gratification aspect of frozen yogurt,” said Brandon Narva, co-owner of Goozell Yogurt & Coffee in Golden. “I came from a tech background, where it takes so long for a product to be ready. Here, people are able to walk out immediately happy.” For Scott Spears, co-owner of Arvada’s Scrumptious, the fun comes in experimenting with ingredients to come up with the perfect taste. “We have to make ice cream five times a week in the summer, so we’re making around 117.5 gallons a day,” he said. “We have the base for ice cream, and then we get to play around and try different combinations of ingredients.” Here are just a few of the many varieties of frozen treats around and a little about the businesses.

The business: Goozell Yogurt is a premium selfserve frozen yogurt bar named for the Turkish word “Güzel” (pronounced `goo-zel’), meaning “beautiful.” Yogurt is Turkish in origin, and owner Brandon Narva said the history of yogurt can be traced back to 2000 BC central Asian Turkic-Mongol tribes.
The business: According to the company’s website, Paciugo was founded by Cristiana Ginatta based on her memories of her grandfather’s handmade gelato. Inspired by her time in Italy, Cristiana and her husband, Ugo, and their son, Vincenzo, moved to Dallas and started the company there.
The business: Scrumptious specializes in classic, hand-scooped ice cream. The base for the ice cream is 14 percent dairy mix, and staff uses its own creativity to create a kaleidoscope of unique flavors. Co-owner Scott Spears estimates Scrumptious’ recipe book has more than 500 flavors.
“Quality is our No. 1 concern, and it’s all the little details that make us special,” he said. “We get more compliments on our staff than anything. They are all well-educated young people that want to succeed.”
An Italian dessert gelati and sorbetti at Paciugo are made the traditional Italian way, with fruits and allnatural ingredients.
Goozell offers catering for special events as well. The flavors: Varies based on season and availability, but standards include Mediterranean Mango, Istanbul Cheesecake and Goozell Tart.
The flavors: Wide variety, including Cheesecake Crunchy Chocolate Swirl and Peanut Butter Raspberry Swirl.

“We love Olde Town and Arvada as a whole,” he said. “We’re not a kid-centric store. We’re a place that kids are going to come to, but adults also can feel comfortable spending time here.” In addition to purchasing ice cream by the scoop, customers can special order their favorite flavors in 1- and 2 1/2-gallons amounts. The flavors: Changes on a daily basis, and Spears said of the 24 flavors each day, only four stay the same. Always a new experience.

From his official obituary: “Mike will tell you his career really Penny Parker began when he was hired at the age of MILE HIGH 15 as a marquee LIFE boy for the Dundee Theatre in Omaha. From that humble beginning, Mike rose in the ranks of the theater chain until he was promoted and became responsible for all advertising and marketing for the circuit. In the mid-’80s Mike founded his own public relations firm which has morphed into MGA Communications.”

At the theater, ‘Anything Goes’
The story — The story takes the audience along on a voyage on the SS American to London, and lets everyone laugh and sing along with the ridiculous romantic mishaps of Billy Crocker (Keith Hershman) and Hope Harcourt (Bethany Luhrs). Unfortunately, Hope is engaged to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh (Adam Luhrs). The cast is rounded out by singer Reno Sweeney (Melanie Horton) and public enemy No. 13 Moon-face Martin (Patrick Brownson), who endeavor to help Billy with his quest. There are plenty disguises, blackmail and a fair share of swoon-worthy moments along the way.

High school students looking for experience in leadership on a global level can get an early start thanks to the Global Young Leaders Conference. The Global Young Leaders Conference (GYLC) is a national program that promotes the success of students with a connection to more than 145 different countries around the world. The program is a 10-day trip that allows teens to learn about different forms of diplomacy, and as it says on its website, “Distinguish (yourself) as a 21st century leader.” Lakewood High School student Dominic Guida traveled to Germany this summer with the GYLC and reflected on his experience, “I learned so much about the country and gained a strong appreciation for places outside the United States. I am truly thankful for this trip and the one I took a year ago to China.” Students who travel take specified curriculum classes to expand their knowledge. Since the classes are based on skill-building and diplomatic decision-making, students are given the opportunity to get college credit from George Mason University. The goal is to allow teens to form a connection with an expanded global perspective. The program’s tuition covers costs like meal plans and housing during the trips, but for exceptional students looking to go, it offers scholarships to cover these fees. Students are assigned to a host family during their trip, with whom they have the chance to explore and immerse themselves in the culture they are visiting. Chelsea Jardim, a student from the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago, voiced her gratitude to the program, “At first traveling with the program was a bit challenging, because I was a bit shy among others from different countries,” she said. “But I feel that it helped me to evolve into a confident young woman who will be taking on the real world very soon. The conference inspired me to dream big and work hard to achieve my goals.” For more information, including enrollment materials, visit www.envisionexperience.com/ and click through to the global young leaders conference page.

Foothills gallery hosts watercolor exhibition
Venue in Golden will show 70 works of art
IF YOU GO
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com
More than four decades ago, in 1974, local artists approached Foothills Art Center with the idea of organizing a national watercolor show. The idea and name were eventually expanded to Watermedia, which includes other water-based paint techniques: acrylic, gouache, casein and mixed media. And it draws a more unusual collection of works, including the precise Renaissance technique of egg tempera. In 2015, the Rocky Mountain National Watermedia Exhibit will include 70 paintings, illustrations and collages reflecting a wide range of creative expression when it opens on Sept. 19. It runs until Oct. 25 in Foothills’ handsome gallery in a historic church, a National Registry of Historic Places building. Juror Mark Mehaffey, a nationally recognized painter from Michigan, is a member of the National Watercolor Society,
The Rocky Mountain National Watermedia Exhibit will be at Foothills Art Center, 809 15th St., Golden, through Oct. 25. Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; 12 to 5 p.m. Sundays. Admission: members free, adults $8, seniors and youths over 10 $5, free under 10. FoothillsArtCenter.org. American Watercolor Society, Transparent Watercolor Society of America, Watercolor West and Rocky Mountain Watercolor Society. A retired schoolteacher, he conducts workshops and exhibits nationally and internationally. He was an award winner in the Shanghai Zhujiajao Watercolor Biennial in Beijing in 2010. Entries from across the country were received in May for this show and Mehaffey, an experienced juror, made his choices, which include: “Hazy countrysides, lyrical abstractions, whimsical dreamscapes and exquisitely detailed still lifes,” according to Foothills publicist Kai
“Fish House” by Gail Delger is included in the 42nd annual Rocky Mountain Watermedia exhibit at Foothills Art Center in Golden from Sept. 19 to Oct. 25. Courtesy photo Mazurczyk. Our recollection is that it is always a strong, worthwhile show, especially
strong in some lesser-known techniques. Art lovers will want to include Golden in their fall itineraries.

affected by this issue.” O’Meara and Romanoff — whose lives have been touched by suicide, dementia and Alzheimer ‘s disease — said their goal is to reduce the stigma around mental health and to bring light to the cause and to the work being done to increase resources and help for those dealing with a mental health illness. “We ought to be declaring war on mental illness,” Romanoff said. “I know we are not going to prevent every suicide, but we have got to reduce the number.” In its 12th year, Warbirds over the Rockies features an array of specialty model aircraft. Attendees can expect to see various sizes and styles of handmade wartime model airplanes — from a World War II P-51 Mustang to a Waco biplane — soaring through the sky. Along with plane exhibitions, the event

will have a variety of modeling equipment and toy vendors as well as a daily air show with a history of military aviation and battle simulations. For Ted Hughes, president of Arvada Associated Modelers, this event is distinctive. “There are very few places you can fly planes of this size, speed and technology, and you can do that here,” he said. “You’re going to see some of the best planes and the best pilots in the world out here.” Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased via www.warbirdsovertherockies.com. “Anyone who loves an airplane and loves excitement will love this event,” O’Meara said. Money raised will go to expand Mental Health America of Colorado’s educational programs, building a network of care providers and increasing advocacy. Romanoff and his team will be available to provide information about the organization, mental health statistics and available resources.

Kendall St. in Lakewood. Jefferson County has been searching for a new location for a number of years because the building is in dire need of repairs and maintenance and could require up to $5 million to bring it up to code, Jefferson County Manager Ralph Schell said. The county has entered into an agreement with Littleton Group LLC for the design-build and purchase of a $14 million building at West 8th Avenue and Quail Street. However, it is contingent on the Lakewood planning board approving a special use permit for the facility. On Aug. 18, Jefferson County commissioners postponed signing the purchase-sale agreement with the Littleton Group until the Lakewood planning board makes a decision. The proposed location has raised many concerns among the area’s residents and businesses. Among them is the increased number of offenders that would live in the area, said Duf-
fey, one of 70 people who spoke at the Sept. 2 meeting. A women’s community corrections facility also is about 1,000 yards from the proposed site for the men’s facility. It has a capacity of 140 people, and the men’s facility could hold 250 people, she said. Another concern is the vulnerability of nearby community members, Duffey said. A school is a couple of blocks away on 10th Street, a public health building that serves families and children is nearby, and the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center is directly across the street, she said. Although the facility is in Lakewood, Jefferson County oversees its funding. Day-to-day operations of the community corrections facilities are contracted to Intervention Community Corrections Services, a private nonprofit community corrections agency. The West 8th Avenue and Quail Street location is not the first proposed site. Other locations have also generated controversy. “There is no place in Jefferson County that there would not be controversy, “ Schell said.

Bear Creek starts season off with a win Defense key to 14-3 win over Castle View By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Game summary: Bear Creek football coach Zach Morris found a good way to portray the Bears’ 14-3 season-opening win over Castle View on Sept. 3 at Douglas County Stadium. “It was a good way to start,” he said. The Bears offense moved the ball at will but produced only one touchdown while the defense kept the Sabercats bottled up. “There are a lot of mistakes that have to be cleaned up,” said Morris. “I loved the effort. We played hard on defense and the offense at this point is always a little bit behind the curve. It takes a little bit longer to jell. “We moved the ball decent but we shot ourselves in the foot a couple times with turnovers and penalties. If we can clean up some of that stuff I think we will be in pretty good shape.” Key Moments: Bear Creek’s Neil Vanlergerghe caught a punt at the Bears’ 10yard line, bounced off a couple tacklers at the 20-yard line and got loose down the sideline on a 90-yard return to put the visitors ahead to stay with 8:50 left in the first Win continues on Page 18

Tigers, Rams compete in invitational Lakewood, Green Mountain placed at Warrior cross-country meet By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Runners from Green Mountain and Lakewood turned in good performances against a large field of competitors at the Sept. 4 Warrior Invitational Cross Country Meet. The Warrior Invitational is a popular early season meet. This year 26 teams and a total of 183 runners competing in the girls varsity division.

sity division standing while, in the final girls division team totals Lakewood was 14th and Green Mountain was 11th. Lakewood’s Anna Granquist said she started running because it was a great way to stay in shape. “My dad ran in college and encourage me to take it up,” she said after her race. “I started running just before my freshman year because I figured it would be a good way to get to know people at the high school. The junior also competes in swimming and runs track. “It is hard to say which my favorite sport is,” she said with a smile. “Right now, my favorite sport is cross country but, in a couple months, my favorite sport will be swimming.” Cherry Creek won the girls division with 64 points and Green Mountain was 11th with 274 points. Morgan Effrien led the
Rams as she finished 27th with a time of 21:09. Teammate Bailey Sharon was 38th with a time of 21:36. In the final girls varsity team standings, Lakewood was 14th with 371 points.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF SEPT. 7, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Cupid is strong in the Aries aspect this week, with the cherub opening romantic possibilities for single Lambs, and strengthening ties ‘twixt loving pairs already in a caring relationship. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your dramatic flair might make things more interesting as you recount an event to your colleagues. But be careful not to exaggerate reality to the point that facts and fancy combine to form fiction. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You love to talk, and this week you should get lots of chances to share your thoughts with people who will not only pay attention to what you have to say, but will want to hear more. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The pattern of recent changes could begin to shift from mostly workplace-related events to more personal matters. Continue to keep an open mind as you prepare to deal with them. LEO (July 23 to August 22) An opportunity for work-related travel could be just what the Terrific Tabby needs to get a new perspective on a balky situation. The trip also could prove to be personally rewarding. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might want to suggest resolving an old disagreement before it can affect a matter expected to come up for discussion. It’s always best to start with a clean slate. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) The week favors combining dollops of creativity and practicality to work out both professional and personal problems. A longtime friend could have something of note to suggest. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Some surprising facts could come to light if you decide to probe deeper into an “opportunity” than you might usually do. What you’ll learn could determine what you’ll earn. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Someone close to you might seek your counsel. Hear him/her out, but hold the line at giving actual advice until you get credible answers to all your questions.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) What seems to be an overwhelming workplace project can be dealt with quite well if you handle one category at a time. Things will soon begin to fall into place. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A personal matter might need more of your time than you had expected. Try to prioritize between your many outside commitments and your domestic responsibilities. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A developing situation still needs more time to grow, and more time to study before you can plunge in and make some attention-getting waves. Patience is best for wise Pisceans. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for organization that would make you a fine archivist.

Key players/statistics Castle View managed only 152 yards of total offense. Junior quarterback Walker Rumsey was tough for the Castle View defense to contain, and he did most of the damage running. “This is really his first year of playing quarterback,” pointed out Morris. “He’s a great athlete. The more game action he gets, the better he is going to be. “He played last year at a skilled position for us. He played junior varsity quarterback but didn’t practice that during the week because for varsity we need him ready to play something else because we had two senior quarterbacks last year.” They said it: “Defensively we played with a lot of pride and passion,” added Castle View coach Dustin Pfeiffer. “Again, it was just those little things, wrong angles to the ball and things like that. Our defense is pretty solid. We’re going to have to lean on this defense for a little bit.” “We need to protect the ball,” said Vanlergerghe. “We can’t have it on the ground that much. We have to cut the penalties. We get to the red zone and then get backed into our own territory which is unacceptable.”

quarter. “We had two guys tattoo him and he just kept going,” said Pfeiffer. “I was stopped,” said Vanlergerghe. “I saw a smallest guy and went straight at him. I just bounced off and took off. I got some pretty good blocks down field which gave me a lane.” Castle View’s only score came on a 41-yard field goal by David Gonzalez near the end of the first quarter. Bear Creek’s Tomas Randolph turned the corner on a 46-yard TD run in the fourth quarter which stalled any Castle View comeback hopes.

All aboard! Thomas the Tank Engine rolls into Golden
WHAT: Day Out with Thomas: The Celebration Tour 2015 WHEN: 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sept. 12 and 13, 19 and 20, 26 and 27. Plan to arrive at least one hour prior to boarding of a purchased train ride. Riders will board the train 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com There’s something about trains that’s hard-wired into kids, said the Colorado Railroad Museum’s executive director Donald Tallman. “Thomas is a rock star for the preschoolers,” he said. But kids of all ages are getting excited for Thomas the Tank Engine’s visit to Golden this month. “The Thomas brand is one that people have a great deal of affection for,” Tallman said. “Thomas is like us, in the sense that he has his good qualities, but he also has his faults.” Thomas the Tank Engine is the star of the popular Thomas & Friends series, and this year marks 70 years for the series. Thomas will be at the Colorado Railroad Museum for Day Out with Thomas: The Celebration Tour 2015 for three consecutive weekends in September. The main attraction to the event is a train ride with Thomas the Tank Engine on a nearly half-mile track, which lasts about 25 minutes. Attendees will also have an opportunity to meet the character Sir Topham Hatt. People also enjoy the Imagination Station, Tallman said. In the station, children can interactively play with Thomas-themed toys or do arts and crafts. In addition, there will be a petting zoo, a magician, storytellers, a viewing tent showing Thomas videos, sing-a-longs, a fire truck for children to tour, and food and merchandise vendors will be on-site. The event is a lot of fun for everyone, said Al Blount, vice president of the Colorado Railroad Museum’s board. Blount will be serving as Thomas’ conductor for the 13th year. His favorite part, he said, is watching the excitement on all the kids’ faces. The tour is in its 20th year, and this is the 14th year the Colorado Railroad Museum will host Thomas, Tallman said. “We’ve seen generations of children

come through the years,” he said. And each year, he said, he will overhear someone reminiscing with their children about the experience of playing with Thomas when they were a child. “It’s a great family bonding opportunity,” Tallman said. “Thomas builds lifetime, family memories.”
