Charter school in the wings Proposed charter focuses on STEAM education

DETAILS

By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Increasing innovative educational opportunities will create the technology leaders of tomorrow. The Alexandria School of Innovation, a proposed charter school, is seeking to locate in Jefferson County. “What makes us unique is our focus on science, technology, engineering and then we’ve added the arts component and math,” said Alexandria Founder, Judy Branberg. “What we’re doing is really cutting-edge science education.” A Science Technology Engineering Arts and Math, or STEAM school, the program will offer 350 students a chance to study

more than 15 different laboratory programs; take part in a one-on-one mentorship program with industry leaders; 9-12 entrepreneurship programs and “The importance of these STEM charter schools cannot be overemphasized,” said Cindy Williams, former vice president of solutions and innovation at Newmont

Mining Company and a member of the board of governors for STEM education. Focusing on a the STEAM model, Alexandria students will study a variety of subjects in `incubators’ or lab subjects rooted in math and computer science, humanities, foreign language, fine arts, physical education and science and technology. Split into eight periods, the curriculum encourages students to develop both logic and creative skills, foster an authentic culture, learn communication and collaboration skills; work in a context of systems on real community problems and situations; and learn to manage change. “In these programs (experiential learning) we take kids out to the front lines of industry, and the front lines of leading university research,” Williams said. “We have them actually do projects and sit down and work with people in those environments, so they can see how excited a chemical engineer is about what they do and the kind

Ralston Valley grad stars in independent short By Crystal Anderson

erforming for audiences is easy, but in his first interview in his hometown, actor Adam Celentano appeared both humble and just a bit nervous. While traveling the independent film festival circuit, Celentano, a rockabilly-clad man with familyinspired boxer tattoos, popped by Global Goods and Coffee Shop to talk about his work on Mark Kirkland’s silent short film “The Moving Picture Co. 1914” and his blossoming career in filmmaking. “With a production like this, you take out sound and you take out color, throwing that in today’s world and seeing it work, and hoping it catches the heart of somebody is nice,” Celentano said, “because that’s hard, knowing you’re making something that’s drastically different.” Born in El Paso, Texas, Celentano and his family moved to Arvada when he was young, where he was thrust into the theatrical world. Growing up, Celentano was involved with all aspects of theater, participating in productions at Ralston Valley High School, acting in shows at Olde Town’s Festival Playhouse and performing stand up comedy at The D’Note and Denver’s Comedy Works. “Growing up in a creative family really helped me flourish and not be afraid to get gross, that’s what it takes for an actor I’ve seen, you have to get gross,” he said. “There’s a magic in changing who you are, a euphoria of putting yourself in one’s shoes and knowing that’s not you. You’re still you as that character.” Following graduation in 2010, Celentano moved to Los Angeles to attend the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA). After a semester studying studio acting, Celentano caught a break, and was cast as Jimmy Curry, one of the lead roles in a revival rendition of “The Rainmaker” for the Sierra Repertory Theatre in Northern California. “I was very fortunate,” he said. “It was really great to be a part of that

of difference that person can make with their job.” Currently geared towards high school students, if approved, the school will become a K-12 school, taking students in from all backgrounds and across Jeffco and neighboring counties. Proposed before the board on Oct. 2, the school’s proposed board is seeking letters of intent from community members and parents who support their mission. Currently, the program has more than 200 letters, and is hoping to receive 200 more before the board’s vote on Nov. 6. “For the sake of Colorado business and the Colorado economy, we’ve got to get more kids excited about STEM and educated in STEM,” Williams said. “I think the charter school has been shown to be a very good avenue to do that.” For more information on the Alexandria School of Innovation, visit www.alexandriak12.org/.

Roundtable discusses action on construction defects Jefferson, Adams county mayors show support during roundtable event By Crystal Anderson canderson@colorado communitymedia.com

Adam Celentano stands in front of his former haunt, Olde Town’s Festival Playhouse. Photo by Crystal Anderson … It’s been a couple years, and I’ve tried to hustle … I was very lucky.” Following “Rainmaker,” in 2011, Celantano moved to New York City, where he continued to study method acting, and began working behind the scenes at the New Amsterdam Theater. During his work at the theater, he learned about the business of Broadway. His passion for acting thrived doing theater work, but soared on film. “This is where I knew I was starting to break into film,” he said of his work on “Noah,” a feature film directed by Darren Aronofsky. “I was doing more extra work here (New York City) … I’ve always loved film and wanted to do that as my major

acting start.” Over the course of four years, Celentano, 22, has worked on an array of projects throughout the television, theater and film industries. He’s done featured extra work for TV shows, “SMASH” and “Over Under” and independent films, “Growing Up and Other Lies” and “Kilimanjaro”. Along with extra work, he’s stared in independent films, “Spin It Til You’re Numb,” by Colorado Director Emmerson Steinberg and “The Tragical History of Sam Swope,” by PJ O’Brien.

In a recent mayoral roundtable, sponsored by the Arvada Chamber of Commerce, several Front Range mayors showed support for actions taken in Lakewood to improve the state’s Construction Defects Law. “We haven’t had a condominium or batch of homes like that built in Lakewood since 2006,” said Lakewood Mayor, Bob Murphy. “It’s become to easy to take these projects to court and for that reason these projects are not being built. We passed an ordinance the other night that has a three-pronged consumer protection strategy … I think it’s very simple, and it’s going to be extremely successful for us as a community of leaders.” The ordinance, passed in a 7-4 vote by the Lakewood City Council, Oct. 13, addresses homebuilders’ litigation concerns. The resolution makes it more difficult for homeowner associations to file lawsuits against developers regarding constructional defects, and gives those developers a preliminary opportunity to repair those problems. “We have projects that are on the table where we could be building,” said Herb Atchison, City of Westminster, “owner-occupied housing or where residents could stay there, an open property, that under the current laws we have to deal with they will not build them.” “This is an economic development impact to us by not having this capability today, and it’s not any one municipality — it’s statewide,” Atchison said. Atchinson, along with mayors from Arvada, Broomfield, Golden and Northglenn, showed their support for the ordinance, stating this step paves the way for action in this discussion. “That’s going to be part of the battle of this discussion,” said Marc Williams, mayor for the City of Arvada. “Is this an issue of statewide concern we can do that the (state) legislature needs to deal with or for those of us who are home-ruled cities can we address it?”

It’s an old story ... in every single item The small, faded railway label on the battered 1900s trunk resting on the worn floor of the antiques store bears the name of its once-upon-a-time owner: “For H.C. Stillman,” it says. “Pueblo. Value — 100.” Its brass hinges are tarnished, its leather straps stiff from age, its oak-andcanvas sides scuffed from wear. Its story, too, is old, so forgotten it was a dying whisper — until Bill and Cindy Pierce uncovered the vintage piece in an acquaintance’s storage unit. “He was a music teacher at Central High in Pueblo in the ‘30s,” Cindy says of the name on the label. In those days, “they didn’t allow girls in orchestra or band, so he created an all-girls marching band — which I thought was totally cool.” It is. Totally cool. Just imagine H.C. Stillman’s courage in defying society’s notions, the difference he made for a group of music-playing young girls, the path he paved for those who came after. “There’s a story inside the trunk,” Cindy says, the kind that connects you with history. “We’re going to look him up and see what we can find.” I happened to be browsing recently in Olde Time Antiques, one of several such stores on Pueblo’s historic Union Avenue, when Cindy and Bill — excited about their discovery — brought in the trunk. They rent space in the store to sell old treasures they find. The trunk’s label indicated its destination back to Pueblo on a train in June 1930, possibly, Cindy thought, from a marching band competition. As I listened, and looked around — at the dainty porcelain teacups that once graced a familiar table, the lace wedding dress someone

once wore for love, a deco cabinet that once stood in a family living room — the air suddenly seemed crowded by stories waiting to be heard, testaments to fragments of long-agos buried by the passage of time and the hurry of life. That glimpse into the past is what motivates antiquarians such as Cindy and Bill, and Gary Price, who helps man the counter, and Johnny Baayen, who owns the store. “I’m just fascinated by old things and disappointed by things that are new and wear out quickly,” Gary says. His gaze sweeps around the store. “Some of this stuff is over 100 years old. … We’ve become such a disposable society. I cherish things that last this long.” Cindy does, too. She loves old things so much she rarely buys new. Her Pyrex dishes and cooking utensils date back to the 1930s. She uses old-style watering cans in her garden. “I give them another life,” she says. Cindy and Bill have been collecting old things for at least 35 years from estate and garage sales and auctions. Bill likes to search for car parts and beer signs, Cindy for her dishes and utensils. Sometimes, they find unique treasures, such as the trunk, or the 100-year-old

saddle, also sitting in the store. “It’s pretty darn worn,” Cindy says. “But 100 years ago, you could see a guy riding around in that saddle. It makes you think … I just find it all fascinating.” The glimpse back in time can even hook some of today’s younger generations. Cindy recounts a conversation she overheard as a boy looked at a typewriter from the 1800s. “He asked his dad, `What is that?’ He had never seen a typewriter.” Or a rotary phone. Or cameras from the 1920s and ‘30s. “They just love them,” Cindy says of young people, with a laugh. “They’ve never seen anything like that. They pick up a camera and try to figure out how the picture was taken … and they’re just kind of in awe.” Most of the stories inside Olde Time Antiques are unknown, the objects brought in by dealers who simply aren’t familiar with their origins, proprietor Baayen says. “You can only imagine the history if you were only able to follow it back in time …” A walk among the thousands of pieces waiting for new life allows you to do just that: A 1930s metal toy squirt gun that probably still works. A worn, chocolate-brown R.T. Frazier saddle made by the famed Pueblo saddlery from the turn of the 20th century. Lawyers’ filing cabinets, nearly 100 years old. A cream-colored 1946 Belmont radio. The tag says it works. A vintage 50mm camera case. A wooden sewing machine table from the late 1800s.

A display case of knives that includes a pen knife, a Turkish Mauser bayonet and a Sudanese arm dagger. Even the two Pachinko machines, the 1960s Japanese-made pinball-type machines used where gambling was prohibited, and which in the end prove age is in the perception of the beholder. “I got those three, four weeks ago,” Baayen says. “I’m amazed at how many people come in and say how they played them.” Objects from the 1970s are particularly popular at the moment, he notes. “In my terms, that’s not really old,” Baayen says. But “young people, they love it — they say it’s so cool and it’s old.” H.C. Stillman’s trunk sold in just a few days for $125. The Pierces were unable to uncover any more of his story. But the sale — to an owner who appreciated the history — felt good. “It’s nice we can pass the story on,” Bill says, “keep the story alive.” The story in the trunk reminded me history is a living, breathing entity that accompanies us wherever we may be. And whether they are from yesterdays long ago or just being created today, the stories are ours. Let’s try not to lose them.

Perlmutter, Ytterberg compete for district By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Congressman Ed Perlmutter will have to win over a few different demographics Nov. 4 in order to keep his congressional seat – and the canine vote could be his toughest hurdle. “My dogs don’t like this because they don’t get walked on as regular of a basis as they’d like to,” Perlmutter said of his two loyal companions, who have had to deal with less quality time their owner campaigns for re-election. “The golden (retriever) is 14, so he’s been through a few campaigns, but the puggle is younger so it’s not quite so considerate.” Yes, politics is a dog-eat-dog business, but Don Ytterberg doesn’t seem to mind. “Oh, I think politics is a snap – I have girls,” Ytterberg said of his daughters among his five children. But the two candidates’ focus over the next couple of weeks will be on winning over voters in the 7th Congressional District who are not members of their own family. The Democrat Perlmutter is seeking his fifth term in office, with the Republican Ytterberg vying to unseat him. While the two share a love for their respective families, they have little in common when it comes to politics. They disagree on immigration reform, the Affordable Care Act and other policy areas. Ytterberg, who is the former chairman of the Jefferson County Republican Party, believes he would be a better fit as the district’s representative, but he faces an uphill climb in beating the Jefferson County-born incumbent. The district – which includes the cities of Arvada, Golden, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Westminster and Thornton – is about 35 percent Democrat and 28 percent Republican. The majority of registered CD7 voters are unaffiliated. A ratings system created by political guru Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia Center of Politics indicates that Perlmutter’s seat is safe. Political analyst Charlie Cook also rates the race as being solidly in Perlmutter’s favor, as detailed in his Cook Report ratings.

Perlmutter

Ytterberg

Ytterberg knows the landscape. “When we got into the race last year, I probably heard from many people who said, ‘Long shot, what are you doing?’ kind of a question,” he said. But Ytterberg feels good about his chances. He points out third-party candidates who ran against Perlmutter in previous elections hurt Republicans’ chances. This year, the Libertarian candidate dropped out of the race early and threw his support toward Ytterberg. Ytterberg also believes that voters will reject Perlmutter’s support of President Barack Obama’s policies, especially the congressman’s vote in favor of Obamacare. Ytterberg, who owns a metal plating business, said the changes put in place through Obamacare were burdensome to him and his employees. If elected, Ytterberg said he would vote to “substantially overhaul” the law. “He has lent his support to the president’s signature bill,” Ytterberg said of Perlmutter. “He has continued to double down and say, ‘No, it’s good the way it is.’ I don’t know anybody, not anybody, who believes it’s good the way it is.” But Perlmutter is an Obamacare believer. He said that parents being able to keep children on their health insurance coverage through the age of 26 is a positive change for families. And he said that prohibiting insurers from denying coverage to those with preexisting conditions is a “huge civil rights step toward a more perfect union” Perlmutter also dismisses the political consensus that Obama is hurting Democrats’ chances of winning seats this midterm election cycle. “I’m not hearing a lot of outright nega-

tivity toward the president,” Perlmutter said. “I haven’t seen it, and I don’t think that’s going to be the case.” Perlmutter believes that congressional Republicans are the source of the problems in Washington D.C. And that’s especially true when it comes to immigration reform, he said. Perlmutter supports immigration reform that increases border security and is tough on drug cartels and those involved in human trafficking. And he said there ought to be a path to citizenship available for undocumented immigrants living here, so long as they are contributing to society and have not committed any crimes. And that’s what Perlmutter said is in the Senate-passed immigration reform measure that has yet to receive a vote in the House. The inactivity of the bill is a result of a House that is dominated by a “Tea Party element” that isn’t interested in dealing with the issue, Perlmutter said. “When they won’t even take up a bill that’s passed in a bipartisan fashion in the Senate and won’t even have a hearing, we’re in serious waters,” he said. Ytterberg has seen firsthand the complexities surrounding immigration policy. His daughter-in-law was born in Mexico and struggled to obtain citizenship, even after she married Ytterberg’s son, he said. Ytterberg doesn’t believe that a “one size fits all,” comprehensive reform package is the answer to the immigration issue. And he’s not sure that there should be a path to citizenship for many who come to the country illegally. Ytterberg would prefer to take up illegal immigrant claims on a case-by-case basis. “It will slow down the system, but maybe it needs to be slowed down,” he said. “I think it’s unfair to immediately accord someone who arrived last Tuesday, under questionable terms, immediate citizen-

ship.” Ytterberg said his top priority will be to get the “government out of the way of job creators” by working to lessen bureaucracy. He also believes that Congress should work harder to reign in “out of control” federal spending. Ytterberg is also a “staunch supporter” of Second Amendment rights to bear arms. Ytterberg said Congress needs more people like him – a business and a family man who isn’t out to cause more polarization in Washington. “Until we have people who are going to Congress, really with a businessman’s perspective, we’re never going to solve the problem,” he said. “We have got to start acting like statesmen rather than party bosses.” But Perlmutter is confident that voters will reward the work he’s done in Congress. Perlmutter has been actively involved in getting a new Veterans Administration hospital built. The hospital, which is being built in Aurora, will be a 40-acre, state of the art facility. The congressman is particularly proud of his 2009 effort to help World War II veterans who found themselves stranded in Oklahoma on their way to an event that commemorated the 65th anniversary of Iwo Jima. Perlmutter stepped in to help the vets get to the ceremony on time. And Perlmutter was recently named the “Legislator of the Year” by the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials for his work on affordable housing. Perlmutter said the voters he speaks with are feeling about the direction of the country. “Four years ago, there was a lot of angst, a lot of anxiety at the doorstep,” he said. “There was a lot of concern and we don’t have that level of anxiety now.”

NAR Fights Losing Battle for Public Recognition of Its ‘Realtor’ Trademark By JIM SMITH, Realtor ®

I’d be curious to know what percentage of Americans realize that “Realtor” is a trademark and not a synonym for “real estate agent.” I suspect the majority of Americans don’t know that, despite frequent advertising by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) urging the public to “use a Realtor.” The fact is that membership in NAR is not required of real estate licensees, although the big franchises (RE/Max, Keller Williams, Coldwell Banker, et al.) require their agents to join their local Realtor association, which in turn makes them members of NAR. (All Golden Real Estate agents are Realtors.) Realtors themselves often misuse the word Realtor as a synonym for “real estate agent” in both speech and writings. I remember doing that when I first started writing this column 10 years ago. I received an email from Ann Turner, then executive director of the Jefferson County Association of Realtors, advising me that the word “Realtor” should only be used when you can substitute for it the phrase “member of the National Association of Realtors.” If you check all my columns since then at www.JimSmithColumns.com, you will find that I have never again misused the word “Realtor” in this column or elsewhere, but I

frequently hear and see it misused by many agents — including Realtors — and the public. What’s particularly upsetting to NAR (and to me) is when a non-Realtor describes himself or herself as a “Realtor.” It’s clearly a losing battle for NAR. If you find yourself calling any tissue a “Kleenex,” you probably call any agent a “realtor.” (I just noticed that my computer’s spellcheck automatically capitalized Kleenex, but did not capitalize realtor! I rest my case!) As much as I like to defend the Realtor…. Read the rest of this column online at www.JimSmithColumns.com

Golden Real Estate Has Many Land Listings Do you like the idea of building your own home on a secluded mountain lot rather than buying an existing home? As I write this, Golden Real Estate has 8 vacant land listings. Three of our land listings are in the Dory Lakes subdivision where Golden Gate Canyon Road meets the Peak to Peak Highway. Dory Lakes has a voluntary $60 per year HOA dues, for which you get use of a baseball field, volleyball and basketball courts, playground and covered picnic area with BBQ and horseshoe pit. For an extra $50 per year, your family can fish in the privately stocked lake. The listing agent for two of those listings is Carrie Lovingier, 303-907-1278. The third is listed by Mark Spencer, 303-842-4480. Our largest land listing is a 40-acre parcel, also listed by Mark Spencer, just 20 minutes from Golden, off Horseradish Gulch Road. Call Mark to see it. Also up Golden Gate Canyon

Road the same distance from Golden is yet another listing by Mark Spencer. It’s a 20-acre parcel at 4300 Daydream Road, with a well already drilled and electric service on-site. You’ll enjoy a panoramic view of Denver and the plains at my 20-acre listing at 22801 Indian Head Road, behind and above a hogback five miles north of Golden. Well, septic and electricity are already in place at the ideal building site. If you’d like a scenic building site 10 minutes from Black Hawk and 20 minutes from Golden, check out 2154 Douglas Mountain Road, listed by Kristi Brunel, 303-525-2520. Lastly, I have a 38-acre parcel in Debeque Canyon along a frontage road for I-70 near the twin tunnels 20 miles east of Grand Junction. It has no improvements, but it has three buildable sites, and electrical service runs across the parcel, which, as you’d expect, adjoins the Colorado River.

Forum shows differing economic angles Chamber event highlights 6 gubernatorial candidates By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Key differences in economic approach-

es set gubernatorial candidates apart as election draws near. The six 2014 gubernatorial candidates, Bob Beauprez, Mike Dunafon, Paul Fiorino, Harry Hempy, Matthew Hess and John Hickenlooper, gathered Oct. 14 for the Arvada Chamber of Commerce Gubernatorial Forum. The forum, held at the Arvada Center

for Arts and Humanities, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., began with opening statements from each candidate, then transitioned to a oneon-one round. During this round, each candidate responded to three questions surrounding issues such as economic development, illegal immigration and marijuana regulations. “This plant (cannabis) is the great hope

for Colorado and the jobs for the future are absolutely incredible,” said Dunafon, who emphasized its importance. “I think we’re still learning,” Beauprez said. “I know that the people endorsed it and my job, as your next governor, will

Arvada Bike Company closes doors By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Following years of falling sales, the Arvada Bike Company has closed. “Four to five years after I bought the shop, we started to struggle because new big players came into town,” said David

Porter, owner of the bike company. “That started to take away from our market share.” In 1988 the bike shop opened at 6595 Wadsworth Blvd. to provide Arvada’s cycling community with access to the latest technologies in bikes, equipment, and repair services. The store was one of two cycle shops within the city, the other being the Bicycle Shack, located at 16255 W. 64th

Photo by Crystal Anderson Ave., and the only one on the east side of town. “It (the closure) will impact those who frequent the shop and those who live close to it,” said Tim McAndrew, a member of the Arvada Bicycle Advisory Committee. “There was a customer base who was loyal to the Arvada Bike Company.” According to Porter, the store has been consistently losing around $100,000 annually, and this year was on track to make less than half of the revenue from 2006. He said while relocating to a smaller space was ideal, it became financially unrealistic. “With no money to relocate and having

to pay the property taxes on the building, we decided to close,” he said. “After being in this location since 1988 — we soldiered on as best as we could, but we just couldn’t tread water any longer.” The store closed its doors Sept. 30. The inventory will be liquidated over the coming months. For the community, this loss means traveling to nearby cities for their cycling needs. “It’s sad for us to lose a bike shop in Arvada,” McAndrew said. “Things aren’t close to home, and from a taxpayer perspective, it was sad because were losing another shop in town.”

Shrader answers Columbine critics By Amy Woodward awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Jefferson County Sheriff candidate Jeff Shrader has received criticism from his opponent Brett Almy along with Randy Brown,

father of Columbine student Brooks Brown, about his alleged involvement in a cover-up by JSCO regarding the department’s prior knowledge of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who later carried-out a mass shooting at Columbine High School in 1999. The

agency’s investigation in Columbine led to a probe by a grand jury, convened by former Attorney General Ken Salazar. In 2004, the grand jury reported that JCSO investigators decided not to publically reveal a document showing that sheriff’s dep-

uties were aware of the g u n m e n’s threats made on a website a year before the shootShrader ings. Almy and Brown accuse

Shrader of taking part in the cover-up and JCSO’s decision to not disclose the information, after drafting a press release while he was a lieutenant following a private meeting with former district attorney, Dave Thomas and other members of JSCO.

When asked if his version of the press release was misleading in any way Shrader replied: “Absolutely not. Did I draft anything that was intended to be misleading, no.”

AEDA offers program for manufacturers By Crystal Anderson

canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com Arvada Manufacturing Initiative has introduced a new program intended to provide manufacturers with professional training and consulting services. “AEDA is listening to the needs of its manufacturing community,” said Paul Heller in a recent release, president of the Arvada Economic Development Association. “We believe that manufacturers who participate can expect to see an increase in sales, creation and/or retention of jobs, cost savings in labor and materials, and an increase in employee skills.” A partnership between the Arvada Economic Development Association (AEDA) and Manufacturer’s Edge, the pilot program will help six Arvada businesses advance their products and companies in the marketplace. “It’s assistance for something they might not otherwise do,” said Aleta Sherman, Manufacturer’s Edge regional director. “It (the program) can both save money with the assistance we do and add to sales.” Through this program, consultants from Manufacturer’s Edge will work with the selected organizations to find solutions targeted to their specific needs. The program uses classes, consulting, advisement and assessments to help manufacturers make product lines more efficient, decreasing product costs, increasing leadership skills, increasing product development and increase operational excellence. “They’ve (Manufacturer’s Edge) been really good to work with,” said Robert Brandstetter, former client and operations manager at Wadsworth Controls. “It’s always good to have somebody from the outside and look and see things from an additional perspective.” Having worked with Manufacturer’s Edge more than five times, Brandstetter said this program allows smaller businesses to work on the same level as larger companies. “For small businesses, it’s an opportunity to get the same resources that a big corporation has.” Initially, the program is targeting six Arvada companies, but Sherman said they hope to reach more next year. “In general, the work we do with manufacturing has a lot of impact,” she said. “It says a lot for Arvada to support their business community in a setting where a part of the community hasn’t seen a lot of attention — which is manufacturing.” To inquire about the program, contact Aleta Sherman, 303-981-7870 or asherman@camt.com.

In his project, The Moving Picture Co. 1914, Celentano stars as a Chaplin-inspired hero that falls in love with an aspiring ingenue, a role he says, was written just for him. Working on the film alongside memorable names, such as Douglas Kirkland, Haskell Wexler and Al Yankovic, Celentano was able to live out a dream, portraying a character inspired by his favorite actor and inspiration, Charlie Chaplin. “Theatre is really different than film ... my acting in that got to be a little bit more theatrical due to the makeup and whole vibe of the film, it’s very fun, sparky and very period,” he said. “A personal win in my mind — I got to go out and be like Charlie Chaplin today.” The film runs 22-minutes and has been shown at festivals across the world such as the Napa Valley Film Festival, Big Bear Film Festival, Burbank Film Festival, Italy’s Cineteca di Bologna, and Colorado Springs’s Indie Spirit Film Festival, receiving multiple awards. For Celentano, this is only the beginning. He is currently finishing the festival circuit for The Moving Picture Co., auditioning for feature and independent films, and awaiting final edits on his first script, “The Basement Player”. “I wouldn’t say I’m successful by any means,” he said. “I think I’m personally a little bit successful, but in this business I haven’t made a mark yet at all ... but I’m hoping that the rise is coming.”

Re-elect Jahn, give Zenzinger the green light Looking at the Jefferson County region for House and Senate races we see incumbents energized to stay in office with a few new faces as worthy challengers. From the top, it’s a pleasure to endorse incumbent Sen. Cheri Jahn in Senate District 20. We like her ability to cover a variety of issues with dollars and sense in mind — transportation to education and the like. And she has well reasoned independent perspectives on business, which play out well regardless of the overall direction at the Statehouse. This Democrat, who knows how to balance business with social issues, is our choice for another four years. Choose Jahn for sure. The other nearby senate race pits Democrat Rachel Zenzinger, who was appointed when Evie Hudak resigned, against Republican Laura J Woods. In her short time at the Statehouse, Zenzinger has shown the makings of a consensus builder who can cover a wide array of topics with skill, much like the nonpartisan skills she exhibited while serving as mayor pro tem on the Arvada City Council. We urge voters to give Zenzinger a full term to work at the Statehouse to dig in and show the bring forth the same effectiveness she exhibited in Arvada.

OUR VIEW In House District 27, we give the nod to Republican Libby Szabo. We must admit we have scratched our heads from time to time with some of her actions and statements. Nonetheless she backs an infrastructure role perspective in government and wants government to be hands-off to small business — a good reflection of her district. Given her experience, she has gained steam as a leader that contributes. Give Szabo another two years. In House District 23, voters have a winwin situation. Incumbent Max Tyler has shown command of issues and has garnered endorsements from education and business. Given his business background, he should be helpful in upcoming issues, such as expected legislation that addresses construction defects. On the other hand there is Jane Barnes, who took a circuitous route to being a candidate in District 23. We recall her solid work as a decisive decision-maker in Jeffco Schools on the school board with Dave Thomas. Tyler gets

our vote by a few lengths, but Barnes is worthy and voters win either way. House District 28 pitches one-term incumbent Brittany Pettersen against challenger Republican Stacia Kuhn. We appreciate the work Pettersen has done at the Statehouse to improve the economy and education, but we see some sound skills and promise from challenger Kuhn who also grew up in the region and has well developed professional skills and a blend of local to global perspectives, which is more important year by year. We call this a race a draw with strengths we admire in both candidates. Incumbent Petterson is on the mark, but newcomer Kuhn could be a welcome difference-maker if elected. In two other races, we see state Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, House District 29, and state Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, Senate 16, as good choices to return to the Colorado Capitol. Nicholson exhibits broad care for her district and Kraft-Tharp thrives at the Statehouse, examining issues and aiming for bipartisan solutions. And Andy Kerr, District 22, has broadened his focus from his early years as a champion of educational issues. We like his get-down-to-business and get-it-done style and broadening knowledge base. Give Kerr your vote.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Election seasons, what’s changed? We asked people at Malone’s Clubhouse Grill, 14455 W 64th Ave, in Arvada for their take on the election season. We asked them to look back 10-20 years and tell us (1) what has changed and (2) what has not changed about the campaign season.

“1) Non-stop ads, phone calls and more negative. 2) The parties still don’t come together. They blame each other.” Tracy Giambrocco Arvada

“1) The amount of TV ads, the amount of cash, the amount of auto-calls. 2) Politicians still can’t tell the truth.” Joe Joyce Arvada

“’1) Everything is so watered down, that nothing is specific. 2) Same old, same old. Nothing gets fixed, such as immigration.” Tito Muniz Arvada

‘1) The negativity. It didn’t used to be so negative and now it’s just accepted. 2) People are influenced by the ads, and they really are not becoming educated about the candidates.” Timi Wolfe Arvada

Rosier, Shrader for county In Jefferson County, all roads lead to the “Taj Mahal” — otherwise known as the Jefferson County Government Admistration Building — and the three county commissioners who officiate there. This election, two of those seats could be in flux. First up, we give a qualified endorsement to incumbent Republican Donald Rosier in District 3. Since his arrival on the board in 2011 Rosier has been an energetic and engaged public official. His engineering experience and obvious grasp of complex issues has made him an asset in many meetings. Likewise, his strong personality has helped earn him accolades, and spots on important committees across the Front Range. In particular, Rosier’s spearheading of efforts to provide needed slash disposal for the county’s mountain communities demonstrates positive leadership. Our hesitation in endorsing Rosier springs largely from that same assertiveness. He has been less than courteous on occasion when dealing with those on the other end of an issue. We would prefer to see the incumbent commissioner display a greater willingness to listen and compromise, rather than disparage or ignore. District 3 opponent Independent Greg Standley seems well-intentioned, and has

OUR VIEW good ideas for better public participation in county government, but lacks much in the way of practical experience. We would highly recommend he find an appointment on a city or county commission, to learn more about how the sausage is made, and then run again for public office. Democrat John Flerlage strikes us as a strong candidate for county commissioner. Had he been up against a less effective opponent, he would likely have earned our endorsement instead. One of Flerlage’s main campaign promises — one that we suggest Rosier seriously consider — is to do something about the low morale and high attrition rate among the county’s Sheriff’s Department deputies. Current District 1 County Commissioner Faye Griffin, Republican, isn’t up for re-election, but is instead campaigning for the position as County Clerk and Recorder against Democratic challenger Michael Snow. Under different circumstances, it would be easy to endorse Griffin for the position — one that she was previously elected to in 1998 and 2002. She has

proven to be well-liked, but by county staff and by voters — running unopposed for her county commissioner re-election bid in 2012. But that last bit presents a problem. If elected clerk and recorder, Griffin would resign from her county commission position. A GOP vacancy commission would then name her replacement to complete the last two years of her term. Griffin has left an elected position early once before when she left her post as treasurer, again letting someone not chosen by the voters into the Taj. And lest we forget, the last time the GOP vacancy committee chose someone for a Jeffco elected position, it was the disastrous John Odom. Luckily, Snow is easy to endorse, as he appears qualified and has pledged to continue the admirable work done by outgoing clerk Pam Anderson. For all of the above reasons we say let Griffin serve out the job we elected her to, and make Snow the new clerk and recorder. The Jeffco Assessor’s race features an easy call. Candidate Ron Sandstrom’s years of tax trouble with the IRS eliminates him from serious consideration. Even his own party has asked him to step out of the race (though he refused). Both of the remaining assessor candidates, Andrew Hassinger, Democrat, and Patrick Sullivan, Libertarian, boast

resumes that speak well of their qualifications for the job. Of the two, we lean toward Hassinger, who made transparency and “getting your property values right” the core of his campaign. For sheriff, we endorse Jeff Shrader. He may be the clear “status quo” choice, but with a department that has maintained a positive reputation while surrounding agencies (Denver, Adams County) have been mired in controversy, that isn’t such a bad thing. Shrader has all the right endorsements, and knows the department inside-out, giving us confidence in his ability to keep the department on the right path. It won’t always be an easy path though. As fellow sheriff candidates John Berry, Independent, and Brett Almy, Libertarian, have said during this campaign, deputy attrition rates have reached unsustainable levels. County taxpayers really do not want to be paying the sheriff’s office to train deputies who end up in other communities, making more money. While the contenders have a strong point, we believe Shrader, with his firsthand knowledge of the department’s structure and strong political support, is in the best position to advocate for change with the county commissioners.

Keep striving to make it better We recently signed up for Netflix — I know, we’re always the last ones. Anyway, it has been great! The girls are in the midst of binge-watching “Once Upon a Time” to catch up to the new season, and I’ve been enjoying watching some of the older shows that used to like. One of those older shows is “The West Wing” — and we can save the discussion of just how big a nerd I am for another day, thank you. Aside from the quality of writing and acting, one thing I really appreciate about that show is the music that was created for it. The main theme, by W.G. “Snuffy” Walden, has a beautiful, lyrical melody, with a soaring countermelody and some very creative orchestration that give it a unique, easily identified character. But, I noticed something the other day. The music used in the first four episodes wasn’t the same music used for the remainder of its seven season run. All of the sudden, in episode five, the orchestrations changed: they went from a fairly thin arrangement that, to my ears, is full of synthesizer sounds, to a full set of orchestral sound colors, including odd instruments like a harpsichord and a wonderfully subtle piccolo. In case anybody forgot that my day job is teaching music. And, again, let’s save the nerd discussion. For me, that is a wonderful thing. That a gifted musician, in a professional environment like television, goes back in after something has started, and makes improvements to an already great product, is very encouraging. There’s an old quote by Gen. George Patton, that “a good plan now is better than a perfect plan next week.” I imagine

that Walden was asked to write the theme, put something on paper, got it out and recorded right away, and, while not losing sight of his ultimate vision, was content with a good plan for the first four weeks. Then, when the show took off, he went back and completed his vision. There is something to be said for always striving for better. I know in this world, with the constant flow of information and 24-hour cycles, that “now” is an imperative, and, too often, we just get things done and move on to the next thing right away. But, in that, we lose a lot of depth and a lot of the character that comes from letting ideas percolate, and striving to keep improving. Rough drafts, second drafts, polishing and editing all have their place and their value, and we lose that in the rush to “be first” or to get everything done in 140 characters or less. But, if you would like an opportunity to watch people do something they love in the spirit of that striving, I would encourage you to wander down to Air Force Academy stadium this weekend. All day Friday and Saturday, high school students from all over the state will be competing at the state marching band championships. These students, numbering in the thou-

sands, have spent untold hours over the last several months working to perfect the same eight-minute performance. They’ve competed with these shows a number of times, and each time, they find something new to work on, to tweak, to improve, to make better. And, when everything comes together just right, you will see high school students come off the field after the performance with a sense of elation and camaraderie that is unmatched in most of the rest of their lives — certainly in the rest of their school days.

And, I think, there is a lesson there that can be applied to every life. Sometimes, it’s enough to get the first draft done and make it known. But never settle — keep your eye on your vision, and constantly strive to make it better. That’s how things become memorable.

Felony escapee in custody Suspect captured in Boulder following roll-over accident By Amy Woodward awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Travis Sandlin, a multiple-conviction felon who escaped from Jeffco county jail on Oct. 5, is now in custody at the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office after 11 days on the run. Sandlin was transported to a hospital after he crashed on Sunshine Canyon Drive on Thursday, Oct. 16.

He has been a frequent visitor of the Jefferson County Detention Facility for the last 14 years, authorities said. “It’s not his first time here,” said Mark Techmeyer, public information officer for Jeffco’s Sheriff’s Office. Sandlin, 32, has gone to county jail in Jeffco since he was 18 years old, Techmeyer Sandlin said. In 2004, Sandlin was hit with an unlawful sexual contact charge in Arvada and as a result, he is a registered sex offender. After being picked up by the Arvada Police Department on July 21 on a list of

charges totaling 18 offenses — from second degree burglary to identify theft — Sandlin spent almost three months in jail before he decided he wasn’t going to stick around. Shortly after midnight on Oct. 5, Sandlin escaped from the north tower on the sixth floor at the Jefferson County Detention Facility after busting through wire mesh located in the facility’s multiple recreation yards. From there, Sandlin jumped 15 to 20 feet down onto a roof, and continued descending the tower; jumping nearly 20 feet each time before reaching ground. He had a 30 minute head start before officials realized he was gone, JSCO reported. An investigation into the jails operating

procedure is under way, but no disciplinary action has been taken against any of the deputies who were working the jail the morning of Sandlin’s escape, Techmeyer said. Authorities at JCSO are wasting no time in fixing the problem in the rec yards. “This is the first time it has happened to us, and it should be the last,” Techmeyer said. JCSO is speaking with several contractors who have come forward to fortify the mesh in which Sandlin was able to bust the welds which attached the mesh to the walls before crawling through the small opening. All of the rec yards in the facility are closed off to inmates.

JEFFCO SCHOOL BOARD ON THE RECORD Jefferson County Board of Education discussed the following legislation during its Aug. 28 regular business meeting. Board members in attendance were President Ken Witt, First Vice President Julie Williams, Second Vice President Lesley Dahlkemper, Secretary John Newkirk and Treasurer Jill Fellman.

Student Achievement

Board of Education heard a proposal from the Jeffco Chief Academic Officer, Syna Morgan and Carol Eaton, the executive director of the district’s Instructional Data Services department, regarding the 2013-2014 school year student achievement scores. Based on the past year’s Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) assessment scores, the presentation reflected little to no change overall in district scores. According to the presentation, the district saw at least one percentage point of growth in all areas, with the strongest achievement growth in math, where 70 percent of students saw an increased or average amount of growth. Morgan and her team suggested amending the language and targets in the board’s ends goals one, two and three due to the shifts in what skills and knowledge state and federal assessments are assess-

ing. The board asked her how to increase these achievement numbers, specifically the proficiency of third-grade readers, students’ writing abilities, and high school math proficiency.

Assessments

students, but said the district would need to take a look at what they value in both purpose and use of individual assessments and whether or not the district is meeting those standards. She said further analysis could be made to measure the necessity and impact of all non-required assessments.

Morgan suggested reducing the amount of state assessments, and not assessing every grade and content area each year. As well as looking at accountability, comparability and student’s achievement. The board directed Morgan to continue the conversation by scheduling another study session on assessments in the future.

The Board of Education heard a presentation from the district’s Chief Academic Officer, Syna Morgan, regarding the district’s assessment landscape. Morgan reviewed the results of the state, district, school and classroom level assessments Jeffco students take annually. The overview highlighted which students take theses assessments, when in the course of the school year those assessments are administered, and how much the direct and indirect costs are to the district. During questioning, the board shared concerns about the amount of testing, the time spent on instructing to the assessments, and sought answers regarding the balance in the number of assessments, what was learned during the PARCC field test, what measurements are valuable, if there are any assessments that are unnecessary, and possibility of rolling back some of them. Morgan stated the district does over-test PAID POLITCAL ADVERTISEMENT

Governor’s race isn’t just John and Bob show Four other candidates add spice to electoral stew By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com One candidate is the husband of a strip club owner who has been endorsed by Snoop Dogg. Another is a faith-driven ballet dancer. They make up half of the field of lesser-known gubernatorial candidates who are trying to shake up the twoparty system while also putting some color back in Colorado politics. Either John Hickenlooper will win re-election on Nov. 4 or Bob Beauprez will take the seat from him. But don’t tell that to the four candidates in the race whose names are not Bob or John. “I can win, and it’s going to send a shockwave through politics on the planet,” said Mike Dunafon. Dunafon is the mayor of Glendale who had a brief playing career with the Denver Broncos. He is married to Debbie Matthews, who owns Shotgun Willie’s strip club. Dunafon, who is running as an unaffiliated candidate, wants to reduce the size of government and believes that the two major parties have failed to rein in spending. He is critical of recent efforts aimed at boosting K-12 education performance. He brands “Orwellian” Common Core education testing measures as “common floor” methods. And he is against Amendment 68, a ballot measure that would provide schools with tax revenue that would come as a result of allowing casino-style gaming at the Arapahoe

Park racetrack. “Why don’t we just pass prostitution and say we’re giving it to the kids?” Dunafon said. Dunafon is also pro-gun and pro-gay marriage and he supports the release of non-violent drug offenders from jail. But Dunafon has made waves this election cycle for the non-traditional endorsements he has received, including those of hip-hop stars Wycleaf Jean and the one and only Snoop Dogg. In fact, the two collaborated with Dunafon on a remix of the song, “The Trap,” which Dunafon says is “a metaphor for our false set of political choices.” “Stop the intolerance/Gay couples free to wed/Women control their bodies/Get the government out of bed,” go some of the lyrics, with Dunafon and Snoop sharing vocals. Libertarian candidate Matthew Hess doesn’t have hiphop artists backing his campaign, but he is tapping into Dunafon’s passion for attracting voters who are fed up with the current two-party system. “I think they don’t feel represented anymore,” Hess said. “It continually comes up that there’s a feeling of disregard, almost a benign neglect from the two parties.” Hess, who grew up in Douglas County, is a systems administrator who said he has volunteered thousands of hours with the Boy Scouts of America. Hess doesn’t like government intrusion and he believes overregulation and high taxes slow economic growth. In other words, he is a classic Libertarian. “Some do think Libertarians are nuts, utopians and anarchists,” he said. “But others are starting to see that Libertarians are right. It’s based on common sense and it’s very logical and consistent.” Then there’s Harry Hempy. With a name like that, he is the perfect standard-bearer for the Green Party. “It fits,” Hempy said of his name. “I think it give me a 10 percent handicap over the other candidates. You won’t believe how many people ask me if that’s my real name.” Hempy, who lives in western Boulder County near Jamestown, is a retired IBM computer scientist. He is also a former Democrat who said he left the party out of frustration that its leaders weren’t taking the issue of campaign finance limits seriously. “I finally became convinced that they were not interested in taking money out of politics, so I said there’s no hope

in this party, just like in the Republican Party,” Hempy said. Hempy would like to see a faster development of renewable energy resources and wants the government to stop handing out “special tax subsidies” for oil and gas companies. Hempy also wants government to do something about “the injustice of low pay and corporate control.” He believes that message resonates with voters who may be disillusioned with government and politics. “Sixty percent of Americans want to have a third major party and they don’t realize they’re in the majority for wanting that,” he said. The veteran candidate of the group is Paul Fiorino, an unaffiliated candidate who is making his third run for the governor’s office. “It’s just a matter of name recognition, that’s all it is,” Fiorino said of getting voters’ attention. “People see you on the ballot a couple of times and maybe they’ll take you seriously the third time.” Fiorino believes the state has only scratched the surface when it comes to the possibilities of Amendment 64, which legalized recreational marijuana sales and use in Colorado. He would like to see the state take on a greater role in promoting cannabis commerce and said there is also great economic potential in the hemp industry. On education, Fiorino said he is frustrated that schools have cut back on art programs, the humanities and physical fitness. “We’re supposed to be the healthiest state and we don’t even have a physical fitness standard,” he said. Fiorino was raised in Douglas County and is ballet dancer who has performed on stage from New York to Denver. In the early 1990s, Fiorino was affected by GuillainBarre syndrome, a disease where the body’s immune system attacks parts of the nervous system. Fiorino has fought through the disease, which can paralyze muscles, and has even released his own album, where he plays guitar and performs faith-inspired songs. Fiorino believes there are parallels in working as a performing artist and being a governor. “You need to bring chaos together to put on a performance,” he said. “That’s what an artistic director can do and that’s what a governor does.” “But, just being a ballet dancer in America takes some cojones, I think.”

from West Africa, let’s listen to them,” Udall said. “But senators and congressmen shouldn’t make those decisions.” Later that week, Udall called on the CDC and the Transportation Security Administration to restrict those who are being monitored for Ebola symptoms from boarding airplanes. The Ebola virus outbreak has killed more than 5,000 people in West Africa and the World Health Organization recently said that about 1,00 new cases were appearing each week. A man who was diagnosed with the virus in the U.S. died earlier this month. The two nurses who treated him have also contracted the disease, which is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids. The Pentagon announced on Oct. 19 that it will build a rapid-response medical team that will provide assistance to civilian doctors and nurses who come in contact with the virus. Gardner was critical of the government’s response to the virus, saying that not having a total travel ban to and from West Africa poses an “unacceptable danger.” Gardner said, “We lack a strategy to deal with the Ebola virus,” and scold-

ed the CDC for using funds to back other, less-important areas. “Perhaps the CDC should stop spending money on things like Jazzercise, urban gardening and massage therapy and direct that money to where it’s appropriate to protecting the health of the American people,” he said. The next day, Gardner asked CDC Director Tom Frieden why a travel ban has not been put in place. Gardner’s questions came during a congressional hearing where top Obama Administration officials provided testimony regarding the government’s response. The CDC has said a travel ban would make it more difficult to track the virus because people coming to the U.S. may find other ways to get here, under the radar. Udall said during the debate that he has full confidence in Frieden and supports the agency’s efforts. He also criticized Gardner’s lack of support for the CDC, claiming he had previously sought $770 million in cuts to the agency’s budget. “We’re not going to beat Ebola by cutting back the CDC and our public health systems,” Udall said. “That’s the difference between the two of us.”

A throw to the master Arvada man masters the art of the Highland Games By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Nineteen years ago, Wayne Staggs took a trip to Scotland, one that sparked a passion for his heritage and competition. Now he’s a world champion, many times over. In September, Staggs, an Arvada resident, traveled to Inverness, Scotland to compete in the Scottish Masters World Championships, an international Highland Games event, for the fourth time. Staggs ranked among the top as he took first overall among five of his comrades competing in the men’s 65-69 age class. “I haven’t missed a World Championship games since (starting),” Staggs said. “It’s just fun, there’s a real camaraderie among the athletes, it’s a competitive atmosphere but it’s very friendly.” The games featured nine of the traditional games, including the Breamar and Open Stone throw, the light and heavyweight hammer toss, and the caber toss. An ancient set of games, the competitions are held annually from February through October, at venues across the world. According to Scotland’s website (scotland.org) the games have been around since 2000 B.C., and have expanded internationally. Currently, more than 200 events are held throughout the United States and Canada annually. “They’re (the games) unique for one,

the only thing close to it is track and field,” Staggs said. “I enjoy the festivals, I enjoy the bagpipes, the kilts, the Celtic atmosphere — it’s quite enjoyable.” Staggs will train for the events for nine months, taking part in a training program that combines weight lifting, strength and speed training, to prepare him for the heavy lifting and give him the necessary agility. A family affair, these games have allowed Staggs to not only tap into his family’s heritage, but share the tradition with his children, who either compete in the games or help out with judging, designing merchandise or computerizing scores. “They say a man in a kilt is a man and a half, and that’s certainly true of Wayne, whose field uniform has so many championship patches you can barely see the plaid,” said Karen Hart, a member of the Rocky Mountain Scottish Athletes, an organization of festival committee members and athletes. “Off the field he’s also a world-class ambassador for Scottish Athletics,” Hart said. “He embodies the Highland spirit and inspires others to live up to those ideals.” This year, Staggs competed in around eleven games across the country, in several of which he placed. Currently a twotime world champion, Staggs is one of five master Scottish athletes in Colorado and one of 476 registered masters worldwide. “It’s become a lifestyle for me,” Staggs said, “I’m either training for it or I’m competing in it.” For more information on Scottish Athletics in Colorado, visit Rocky Mountain Scottish Athletes, www.rmsa.org.

Udall looking to make late-game push Polls show Gardner holds lead over incumbent By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Right now, there are a few things for Mark Udall to worry about. Recent public polling has indicated a coalescing of majority support for the Democratic senator’s challenger to his re-election bid, Republican Congressman Cory Gardner. Then there’s the mocking Udall has received for his perceived over-emphasis of women’s issues this campaign, having been dubbed “Mark Uterus” along the way. And, aside from battling Gardner, Udall could also be fighting against a Republican wave that political analysts predict will cost Democrat-held seats nationwide come Nov. 4. So why shouldn’t Republicans be confident that Gardner will become the state’s next senator? Remember Michael Bennet? The Udall campaign is banking on the same, vaunted Democratic get-out-the-vote machine that propelled Bennet to victory in a 2010 race against Ken Buck. In that race, Bennet was trailing in several polls leading up to Election Day, yet he man-

aged to eke out a victory by a margin of less than 2 percent. And the Udall campaign believes this year’s ground game is even better than the one that was in place four years ago. “With our groundbreaking get-out-thevote efforts and our army of volunteers, we will push it at the goal line,” said Udall campaign spokesman Chris Harris. “Our campaign was built for this moment.” But Republicans scoff at Democrats’ reliance on the use of playbook from four years ago, one they say has little to do with the candidate himself. “They say they will win, never because of Mark Udall himself, but it’s always because of tactics,” said Colorado Republican Party spokesman Owen Loftus. “Now they’re saying it’s because of the ground game. There comes a time that you do have to admit — it’s the candidate.” Polls released last week show Gardner leading the race. A Quinnipiac University poll released on Oct. 16 shows Gardner with a 6 percentage point lead. A CNN/Opinion Research Center survey that was conducted at the same time has Gardner up 4 points. A handful of other recent polls have also shown Gardner up, although by slimmer margins. If the CNN poll is an accurate barometer of how election night will go, the Udall team’s

biggest concern would have to be lack of robust support he is getting from the group the senator has so strongly courted since the beginning of the campaign: Women. Udall has spent millions of advertising dollars hammering Gardner on issues like abortion and birth control, trying to paint Gardner’s conservative, pro-life beliefs as being outside the mainstream. But Republicans slam Udall’s “singleissue” campaign tactics as being offensive toward women. And the “Mark Uterus” monicker has become part of the online and talking head political chatter in similar fashion to the “Both Ways Bob” label that was pinned on Bob Beauprez during the Republican’s failed 2006 gubernatorial bid. The CNN poll indicates Udall has just a 9 point lead over Gardner when it comes to the support of women voters. That’s not a good number for the Democrat, considering that the same poll shows Gardner’s lead among men is 19 points. “If that’s the case come Nov. 4, then Udall is toast,” said Eric Sondermann, an independent political analyst. Sondermann said Bennet needed every bit of the double-digit support he got from women four years ago and that if Udall cannot match Bennet’s performance, it’s going to be a long night for the incumbent. Sondermann also points out that Udall is seeking re-election during a political climate that does not appear to favor Democrats this cycle. President Barack Obama’s approval ratings are underwater and the consensus seems to be that Republicans will pick up seats in Congress this year. But Republicans in Congress have even worse approval numbers than the president.

be to regulate it as tightly as we can within the law, respecting that it’s in our law, and it’s in our constitution.” In other responses, several of the candidates emphasized the need to increase economic development, decrease small business regulation and noted how they plan to help Colorado thrive. “Colorado is a place that is going to be defined more by its future than its past, and our future is going to be connected to innovation, technology new ideas, youthful energy,” Hickenlooper said. “I think Colorado has an opportunity to be a national model in so many ways, and we want to take the next four years and take Colorado to the next level.” Through the marijuana industry or increasing the state’s environmental and tourism opportunities, the candidates also shared a desire to see Colorado’s industries grow. “I have an opportunity to express the fact that environmental hope is really what this state needs to concentrate on, and lead in that regard,” said Fiorino. “We have an opportunity in Colorado to just take us forward not back.” For Hess, increasing economic development means decreasing government’s influence in citizens’ lives. ”It get’s right down to my platform — and that’s leave people alone. It’s much more than just looking at regulations and finding out what we can trim,” he said. “It’s

And Democrats have done well in Colorado election over the last several years. Sondermann said the Udall campaign must get Democrats to vote at a time when they may not feel so enthusiastic about doing so. “That’s their salvation, probably their only salvation is that (the Udall campaign) is able to ramp-up Democratic intensity beyond what it seems now,” Sondermann said. That’s exactly what the Udall campaign is trying to do, as evidenced by expected visits to the state this week from First Lady Michelle Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Harris said the ground game Udall has in place is even better than the one Bennet had four years ago. Udall has 25 campaign field offices and more than 100 field officers, compared to Bennet’s 13 and 30 in 2010, according to Harris. Harris also believes that recent changes to state election law will aid Udall’s efforts. Last year, the Democrat-controlled Legislature passed sweeping changes to the election system that included the creation of same-day voter registration and the mandate that ballots be mailed to every registered voter. “It is universally accepted that if everyone voted, (Democrats) would win in a landslide,” Harris said. “The tricky part is turnout.” But Republicans say they are not worried about this year’s all-mail ballot election. They cite voting statistics from 2012 that showed 85 percent of ballots that were cast that year came in before Election Day any way. “Those ballots will be landing in our voters’ boxes, just like the Democrats,” Loftus said.

overall convincing the boards, and the various regulatory agencies themselves to take a large step back — to let businesses operate as they see best fit for themselves as long as they don’t harm others or the environment.” Following the initial round, each candidate spoke about three issues: valid forms of identification to vote; whether curriculum be dictated by local, state or national school boards; whether Colorado raise the minimum wage and, in addition, candidates were asked to note Colorado’s bestkept secret. This was the fifth gubernatorial candidate forum for the 2014 elections, and the only one where all six candidates, including two write-in candidates, Marcus Giavanni and Susan Wolfrey. In their closing remarks, the candidates encouraged attendees to vote and emphasized the need for change. “In the last four years, Colorado has fallen from No. 2 in economic outlook and opportunity to No. 22 … we’re middle of the pack,” Beauprez said. “When was average ever good enough for Colorado? We’re better than this.” For audience members like Boulder resident Shawn Coleman, this forum provided a range of viewpoints not seen in other events, leaving him with a few lingering questions and some changed opinions. She said it was funny to hear Beauprez say that he was between Hickenlooper and Dunafan on how to handle recreational marijuana. “When a Democrat, like me, hears that, I think, ‘you know, maybe I should vote for Mike Dunafan,’” Coleman said. “Certainly now I have to do a bit of thinking now don’t I?”

Campaigning for the Latino vote By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com With ballots now mailed to every registered voter in Colorado, political campaigns and advocacy groups are ramping up efforts aimed at mobilizing a coveted voting bloc — Latinos. Democratic leaders last week urged Latino voters to cast ballots in support of their party’s candidates, while blasting Republicans over policy positions that they believe Hispanics have long rejected. But Republicans say they are working harder than ever to appeal to an influential bloc of voters that has by and large rejected GOP candidates statewide and at the national level in recent years. Latino Democratic leaders held a press conference outside the Denver City and County Building, where they blasted Republican candidates for ignoring or being on the wrong side of issues of importance to the Hispanic community. “They only give us lip service,” said Denver

City Councilman Paul Lopez. “They only give us promises during a campaign, but when push comes to shove, when it’s any other day of the year besides Election Day, it’s, ‘We don’t have time for you.’” Democrats are reminding Latino voters that it was their party that got through legislation at the state level this year that makes it easier for undocumented students to attend college, as well as legislation that allows undocumented citizens to obtain licenses to drive. Democrats also claim that while their party has worked toward immigration reform in Congress, Republicans have put up roadblocks. They took aim at U.S. Reps. Cory Gardner and Mike Coffman, who are locked in tight races against Democrats this election cycle. Gardner is vying to unseat Sen. Mark Udall while Coffman tries to stave off a challenge to his 6th Congressional District seat from Andrew Romanoff. Those who spoke at the press event said neither Gardner nor Coffman could be trust-

my neck of the woods and we won’t stand for it,” Ulibarri said, urging Latino voters to back Romanoff. But the Coffman campaign thinks Ulibarri is the last person who should be touting Romanoff to Latino voters. Ulibarri was once critical of Romanoff for seeing through tough immigration measures while he was state House speaker in 2006. Coffman campaign spokesman Tyler Sandberg responded to Ulibarri’s comments with the state senator’s own words to the Denver Post in 2010. “He demonstrated that if it’s politically expedient for him, he’s willing to sacrifice the most vulnerable in the Latino communities,” Ulibarri told the Post. “It will be very difficult for him to rebuild those relationships with community members.” The Coffman and Romanoff campaigns have been targeting Latinos through Spanish-language television and newspaper advertisements. And Coffman and Romanoff will soon square off in an Oct. 30 all-Spanish debate that will air on Univision.

ed on immigration issues. And they said they and their Republican colleagues in the House have failed to get any sort of immigration reform accomplished. State. Sen. Jesse Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, whose Adams County-based state Senate district is part of Coffman’s 6th District, said Coffman for years “has been running against Latino and immigrant communities.” Coffman has had to take tough votes on immigration measures, considering the complexity of the district he represents. Coffman has been critical of President Obama’s leadership on immigration, but has also bucked his own party. Over the summer, both Coffman and Gardner broke ranks and voted against a Republican-sponsored bill that sought to halt a program that shields young undocumented immigrants from deportation. But Democrats believe Coffman’s “about face” on immigration issues is born out of necessity because he represents a district that grew more diverse after it was remapped. “Hollow actions ring hollow for people in

Service set in memory of showman Halloween haunts scare up fun By Clarke Reader

creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

alloween celebrates things that go bump in the night, but holiday frights aren’t for everyone. Some enjoy the chance to let out a few shrieks of fear, and others look forward to something light on fright and heavy on fun. Both groups will find something at Heritage Square this month with Bootown at the Miner’s Alley Maze Adventureland and Alice’s Horrorland at Spider Mansion haunted house. Bootown is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. every weekend in October through Nov. 2, and Spider Mansion is open nightly through Nov. 1, 7 to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 7 p.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday. “Bootown has two primary features — the 3D Halloween Maze and Haunted Scarecrow Express,” said Jared Vasold, co-creator of Miner’s Alley Maze Adventureland. “Teenagers and adults may like to get scared, but many want a place to take their children that’s not too scary.” The two-story Miner’s Maze is transformed into an interactive haunted maze complete with spooky decorations and 3D glasses to bring Halloween scenes to life inside the maze. Vasold said the maze tells a story that visitors can follow as they make their way through the twists and turns of Bootown. The Haunted Scarecrow Express takes the Rio Gold railroad that goes around Heritage Square and gives it a seasonal touch with scarecrows designed and constructed by local organizations that represent their groups. Kenzi Dietsch, a Jeffco resident, is a regular visitor to the park with her younger sister and said Adventureland is the best place to bring families. “They go for spooky instead of scary, which makes it a great place for us,” she said. “My favorite part is running through the maze — we’re

For those looking for a higher fright factor, Spider Mansion has grown to its largest size yet. Featuring 25 different “scare” points and more than 15 actors, it ratchets up the terror for all visitors with Alice’s Horrorland: Journey Down the Rabbit Hole. The haunted house takes Lewis Carroll’s classic and gives it a dark twist. Children younger than 7-years-old must be accompanied by an adult. “There are so many different people who come to Heritage Square,” Vasold said. “Sometimes you forget what it’s like as an adult but when you’re kids it’s the small things that make Halloween.” For more information visit www.MinersMazeAdentureland.com or www.HeritageSquareAmusementPark.com.

Randy Weeks could handle the truth. In all the years that I have written column items about Denver Center Attractions productions, he never admonished me when I didn’t like or walked out on a particular play or musical at The Buell Theatre. But we weren’t done. The professional relationship I so valued was cut short when the DCPA president and Broadway executive director died Oct. 9 during a trip to London to attend the Independent Producers Network conference. He was 59. The public is invited to honor Weeks, along with his family, during a celebration of life at 4 p.m. Nov. 3 on the stage of the Buell Theatre. Memorial gifts can be made to The Randy Weeks Memorial Fund for the Bobby G Awards, which supports the advancement of musical theater for Colorado high school students.

Pot shop eyed for TV

Though the lead of a new television pilot ordered for truTV is Denver marijuana dispensary owner Andy Williams, don’t expect him to be singing “Moon River.” Williams would more likely sing Abba’s “Money, Money, Money” in the reality series that centers on the family dynasty behind the Medicine Man Marijuana Dispensary at 4750 Nome St. truTV has ordered a pilot for “Medicine Man” (working title) with executive producer Tony Krantz (“24,” “Felicity”) with Wilshire Studios producing and Flame Ventures’ Drew Comins as co-executive producer. “Medicine Man” will focus on the Williams family dynasty and its unusual brand of business savvy. Medicine Man has a 40,000-square-foot industrial cultivation facility used for growing its awardwinning product, employs 75 people across its various divisions, and is in construction on its first satellite outpost in nearby Aurora.

British singing sensation Sam Smith will make one Denver-area stop on his “In The Lonely Hour” tour at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 26 at the 1stBank Center, 11450 Broomfield Lane, Broomfield. The soulful Smith has been lauded for his singles “Stay With Me” and “I’m Not The Only One” in his debut album “In The Lonely Hour,” which opened the charts at No. 1 in the UK and No. 2 on Billboard.

Civil unions enter gray area Gay marriage complicates hundreds of prior unions By Amy Woodward awoodward@colorado communtiymedia.com State legislators may be tasked with reviewing provisions for the Colorado Civil Union Act next year, as well as the state statute on marriage, following Colorado’s decision to allow for gay marriage in early October. Questions about how civil union couples may enter into marriage still linger with no laws to help guide the transition, should couples decide to get married. It

is unclear whether the union will need to be dissolved or if couples may have both contracts in place or if the legislature will decide to automatically convert all civil unions to marriage, at the couple’s request. “I think the Legislature is going to have to do something about that,” said Kim Willoughby, family law attorney at Willoughby and Associates in Denver. “When you look at the marriage statutes they will say if you are already married, then you can’t get married,” she said. “For Colorado, what they did is they said, in civil union statute, wherever you see the word marriage stick in civil union.” The Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder’s Office is recommending couples speak with an attorney regarding contractual obligations for having both a civil union and

In addition to officially breaking ground on the project, the event featured a raffle giveaway and site discounts to attendees, tours of the historic property and refreshments from Gigi’s Cupcakes. Littleton-area resident and bride-tobe Kaley Barrett won the raffle giveaway of one waived site fee (up to a value of $5,500) for her future wedding held at The Barn. Barrett and her fiance Stephen Sferra plan to be wed at The Barn next July. The event featured members of the Grant family, with former resident of the property Newell Grant serving as the family spokesperson. Other notable guests included Jefferson County Commissioners Faye Griffin, Casey Tighe and Donald Rosier, The Barn at Raccoon Creek sales director Abby Nurre, and Jordy Construction’s Sean Wardroup, Dan Martell, Edgar Quintero and Kristin Kyser.

a marriage but in Denver County, the clerk and recorder’s office announced couples can marry with a civil union in place. In Jefferson County, 28 marriage licenses have been issued to same-sex couples. A total of 241 civil union licenses have been issued since May of last year, according to the Jeffco Clerk and Recorder’s Office. “We expect the same trend as civil unions but we really don’t know — it’s hard to tell,” said Carolyn Carver, public information coordinator at the Jeffco Clerk and Recorder’s Office. “It’s an open legal question,” said Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, a longtime advocate for marriage equality and gay rights in Colorado. “I really think we need to come in and fill in the blanks in the next legislative session.”

When renovation of The Barn is complete next May, it will be Denver’s only historic barn venue that can accommodate up to 200 guests for weddings and special events. The Barn at Raccoon Creek is a part of the original Grant Ranch property that dates back to 1878, when the first Democratic Gov. James B. Grant purchased the property to use as a gun and sporting club for family and friends. The property was later sold to a cattle rancher, and in 1933 was repurchased by the Grant family. Today, the property houses the 18-hole Raccoon Creek Golf Course, the Grove restaurant and a clubhouse that includes a full pro shop.

Lone Tree gets ‘Inspyred’

Steadman said he supports a process that easily converts civil unions to marriage if the couple decides to do so. “I think people need to make their own choices on how and what relationship they want to be in,” he said. After Attorney General John Suthers’ announcement on Oct. 7 that there are no remaining legal requirements preventing same-sex couples from legally marrying, many considered the state’s decision a victory, and a step in the continued progression of civil rights. “I think it’s exciting to be a part of history,” said Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge. “We’re on a march toward justice — I’m hopeful that we keeping moving.”

Benefit from nutritious meat even after Thanksgiving By Metro Creative Connection

f turkey is not normally on your lunch or dinner menu, come the holiday season it’s bound to show up in abundance. As soon as the weather cools and the crispness of late autumn is in the air, thoughts turn to more hearty meals, and of course, the fall pièce de résistance: Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey takes center stage on many Thanksgiving dinner tables, even though history suggests it likely wasn’t served at the first Thanksgiving. Despite this historical discrepancy, turkey and all the trimmings continue to be traditional fare for big holiday dinners. Much more than just delicious and filling, turkey boasts many nutritional benefits, making it a worthwhile addition to your diet regardless of the season. · Protein: Turkey is often overshadowed by other meats in refrigerated display cases, but it remains an excellent source of protein in a low-fat package. A typical 3.4- to four-ounce serving of skinless turkey

breast (about the size of a deck of cards) contains around 30 grams of protein, providing about 65 percent of the average person’s recommended daily allotment of protein. Protein helps the body feel full and serves many essential functions in the body. Proteins regulate the entry of nutrients through cell walls, help the body grow and help it to generate antibodies that fight against illness. · Low-fat: A serving of turkey is only 161 calories and contains just four grams of fat, which is low in saturated fat. · B-vitamin benefits: Turkey is an excellent source of B vitamins, including B3, B6 and B12. Having enough B3, also known as niacin, is important for overall health, and higher levels of niacin can improve cholesterol levels and lower a person’s risk for cardiovascular disease. B6 is also called pyridoxine. It’s involved in the process of making certain neurotransmitters, including serotonin and norepinephrine, which transmit signals in the brain. Important for neurological health, B12 helps decrease levels

of homocysteine, which can contribute to cognitive decline. · Immune system effects: People may not know turkey contains selenium, which is key to healthy thyroid function. It also helps boost the immune system by playing a role in the body’s antioxidant defense system. Selenium may help eliminate free radicals in the body that would otherwise contribute to cancer risk. · Relaxation: Many people are aware of turkey’s ability to induce feelings of relaxation, particularly when eaten in abundance at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Turkey contains the amino acid tryptophan, which plays a role in triggering production of serotonin. Serotonin can induce feelings of relaxation and sleepiness. Turkey is lean, full of essential nutrients and low in saturated fat, making it a worthy addition to your diet no matter what time of year it happens to be.

Pomona proves to be class of Jeffco Gymnastic championship contested six ways By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com LAKEWOOD - Pomona narrowly edged out five other teams who were all in the mix to win a Jeffco League Gymnastics Championship Saturday at Lakewood High School. The Panthers team score of 181.425 was better than second place Green Mountain’s 179.800, third place Arvada West (178.275), fourth place Standley Lake (175.925), fifth place (173.945) and six place Lakewood (172.775), in a league championship meet that finished in dramatic fashion. In one of the tightest contested league championships in years Pomona proved to be Jeffco’s best getting outstanding efforts from several of its team members. The Panthers had the meet’s top finisher as Kelsey Boychuk recorded an impressive score of 38.425, just beating out a pair from Arvada West. The Wildcats had the meet’s overall second and third place finishers as Veronia Vasina came in at 38.275 which was good for second place and Ciera Dunn finished third with a score of 37.425. Lakewood’s Hannah Roshak finished fourth with a score of 37.200 and Standley Lake’s Jordan Ireland finished fifth with a score of 36.925. Green Mountain’s Kathy Nguyen won the vault with a score of 9.800, followed by Pomona’s Boychuk (9.750) and Annabel Spence (9.650). A-West’s Vasina won the floor, followed by Boychuk (9.600), Dunn (9.575) and

Pomona’s Shae Zeman shows off her grace and skill during the Jeffco League Championship Saturday at Lakewood High School.

score of 9.500 and Vasina (9.475) and Dunn (9.350) finished fourth and fifth. Chatfield, Evergreen, Bear Creek and Columbine finished at the bottom of the standings, in that order.

Wheat Ridge softball falls in state semifinals But new 4A Jeffco team Valor Christian hoists trophy

AURORA - Consider this a down year for Wheat Ridge softball. The No. 4 Farmers were beat 8-6 by No. 1 Frederick in the semifinals of the 4A state softball tournament Saturday at Aurora Sports Park. And while a run to the semifinals of the state tournament would be a milestone for most programs Wheat Ridge certainly isn’t like most programs. Leading up to this season the Farmers were winners of four of the past six state championships led by coach Marty Stricklett. But even though Stricklett and his Farmers have made winning look easy in the past, he knows it is extremely difficult to hoist the championship trophy. “Only one team can win it,” Stricklett said. “I am proud of these girls and they still accomplished a lot this season.” Fredrick would go on to lose to No. 2 Valor Christian 7-4 in the title game — which technically gives Jeffco the state championship. Valor joined 4A Jeffco in all sports except for football leading into the 2014 season where they will remain for at least two seasons. The championship for Valor also puts their coach Dave Atencio back on top of the softball world. Atencio build a dynasty at Dakota Ridge, the program who named its field after him, before leaving for Valor two seasons ago. It didn’t take long for Atencio to put Valor back on top and the Eagles were clearly the state’s best team finishing the season 24-1, 7-1 (in league). Their one loss came in a 1-0 defeat to D’Evelyn on Sept. 13. Wheat Ridge, despite the loss in the semifinals, showed the heart of a champion along their playoff run. The Farmers were nearly victims of a first round playoff upset when they found themselves tied 0-0 with No. 13 Air Academy in the sixth inning. But senior Analece Apodaca, perhaps the greatest hitter in the history of the Wheat Ridge softball program, hit a solo home run which gave her team a 1-0 victory. “We just aren’t hitting right now like we should be,” Apodaca said postgame. The Farmers got their offense going and were forced to hang on to beat Discovery Canyon 10-9. Wheat Ridge was down 3-0 but rallied and then survived a five run sixth inning by Discovery Canyon. The Farmers then fell to Frederick, who had just one loss the entire season leading up to their game. It is the end of an era for Apodaca who will graduate as one of the most accomplished athletes in Wheat Ridge history. But the Farmers will also return a ton of talent. So much talent that it would not be a shock if Wheat Ridge is back in the state championship game next season. The Farmers ended their season 18-6, (7-1 in 4A Jeffco).

A-West, D’Evelyn softball fall at state tourney Pair of unlikely entries both push No. 1’s but fall short By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com AURORA - After pushing for a pair of epic upsets the softball seasons for two of Jeffco’s other state qualifiers ended on Friday. 4A Jeffco’s D’Evelyn and 5A Jeffco’s Arvada West were both eliminated in the first round of the state tournament Friday at Aurora Sports Park. The No. 16 Jaguars were defeated by No. 1 Frederick, but not before putting a scare into the top seed by hanging around a low scoring game for six innings. But Frederick would score three late inning runs to make the score look a bit lopsided but D’Evelyn nearly delivered the same magic it had in regionals at the state tournament on Friday. The Jaguars, who had just six total victories heading into their region, upset Buena Vista twice in order to qualify for the state tournament. D’Evelyn was fuelled this season by junior Kelsey Marvel who was one of Jeffco’s most productive offensive players all season. Marvel was marvelous with a .492 aver-

defense while the offense scored just enough to put potent Pomona away. The Mustangs got yet another monster offensive night from senior running back Andrew Wingard who not only rushed the ball 17 times for 111 yards but he also caught five balls for 70 yards and a touchdown.

age but she had help in the form of senior Adrianna Martinez who finished the season with a .396 average. D’Evelyn finished its season 8-15 (5-3 in league). Fellow 4A Jeffco team Valor Christian went on to win the state championship beating Frederick 7-4 in the state title game. In the 5A state tournament No. 16 Arvada West nearly shocked the softball world as they pushed No. 1 Fossil Ridge to the brink. The Wildcat got a spectacular pitching performance from freshman sensation Morgan Clausen. Clausen was brilliant allowing just three total hits against one of the state’s best offenses. Fossil Ridge scored a run in the first and second innings but was completely shut down by Clausen — who will be one of the state’s best pitchers as a sophomore next season. However, the Wildcats were only able to generate one hit as its offense was held to just one hit after being shut down by pitcher Murphy McRoberts. Still, A-West’s season was considered a success, especially considering just six total victories heading into regionals. The Wildcats wrapped up their season 8-15, (3-4 in league). No. 6 Grandview went on to beat Fossil Ridge 6-2 in the 5A state championship game.

Freshman pitcher Morgan Clausen from Arvada West limited the Sabercats to just 3 hits, and didn’t allow a run after the 2nd inning in the 0-2 loss to Fossil Ridge at the 5A State Softball Tournament in Aurora on Friday. Photo by Pam Wagner

It was Ralston Valley’s defense that was truly outstanding, holding Pomona to just six first-half points. The Mustangs had several big efforts from their defense as four different players recorded at least 10 tackles. Senior Colin Root produced 13 tackles and as a tight end caught a couple passes, and junior Matt Mcniel had 10 tackles with two of those coming as tackles for losses. The victory keeps Ralston Valley’s record perfect at 8-0 (6-0 in league) and with No. 1 Valor Christian falling to Cherry Creek 3317 Friday at Sutler Bowl the Mustangs will

be the state’s new No. 1 team this week. But don’t bury Pomona just yet. Still a state championship contender, the Panthers didn’t play to the best of their abilities on Friday night and yet they were in position to tie the game on their final possession. With time running out Pomona dinkedand-dunked its way down field but they were simply never able to produce that big play they needed to send the game to overtime. The Panther got a couple big performance that helped keep them in the game.

Pomona senior Isaac Marquez caught 10 balls for 100 yards and freshman running back Max Borghi ran the ball 17 times for 118 yards. In addition, junior Josh Madrid recorded 14 tackles for the Panthers who fell to 6-2 (5-1 in league) with the loss. Pomona will wrap up its regular season against Chatfield Friday at 7:30 p.m. at NAAC. Ralston Valley will finish its regular season schedule hosting Mullen Thursday at 7 p.m. at the NAAC.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF OCT 20 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You could be caught in a torrent of advice from well-meaning friends and colleagues this week. But remember, Lamb, you are at your best when you are your own inimitable self. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Expect strong efforts to get you to accept things as they are and not question them. But ignore all that and continue your inquiries until you’re sure you have all the answers you need. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Heavier than usual family and workplace duties compete for your time this week. Try to strike a balance so that you’re not overwhelmed by either. Pressures ease by week’s end.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) It’s a good time for the Moon Child to show off your uniquely inspired approach to the culinary skills -- especially if they’re directed toward impressing someone special. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You might be happy about the re-emergence of a long-deferred deal. But don’t pounce on it quite yet. Time can change things. Be sure the values you looked for before are still there. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Try to rein in your supercritical attitude, even if things aren’t being done quite as you would prefer. Remember: What you say now could create an awkward situation later on. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Although you can expect on-the-job cooperation from most of your colleagues this week, some people might insist on knowing more about your plans before they can accept them. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Creating another way to do things is commendable. But you could find some resistance this week from folks who would rather stick with the tried-and-true than try something new. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You usually can keep your aim focused on your goal. But you might need to make adjustments to cope with unsteadiness factors that could arise over the course of the week. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) News arrives about a projected move. Be prepared to deal with a series of possible shifts, including starting and finishing times, and how much the budget will actually cover. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A new relationship needs time to develop. Let things flow naturally. It could be a different story with a workplace situation, which might require faster and more focused attention. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Accept a compliment without trying to troll for any hidden reason beyond what was said. After all, don’t you deserve to be praised every now and then? Of course you do. BORN THIS WEEK: You like to weigh all possibilities before making a decision. You would be a fine judge, or even be a star in a jury room. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
