Woods takes win in Senate
PANTHER POWER
Republican edges appointed Zenzinger By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Republican Laura Woods captured Senate District 19 in a tight race. Woods beat appointed incumbent Rachel Zenzinger by a mere 1.1 percent on election night. With such a narrow margin, and some ballots still being counted, both candidates declined to comment on the election outcome last week. “I’m disappointed with Woods the results as they appear right now,” said former Senate District 19 Sen. Evie Hudak on election night. “It isn’t over … there’s still a chance, but the initial results are disappointing.”

Enduring in Dakar Teenager raises funds for awareness in Africa By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com During a 14-hour flight to Senegal, as he thought about the next four months of study, Ben Seamans, 17, suddenly felt he would leave something behind in the African country. Less than a month later, he knew what that would be. “I felt like I wanted to leave something here, and I didn’t know what,” he said. “Then I thought, ‘Oh, I could leave them a church.’ ” Seamans, a junior at Faith Christian Academy High School, and fellow students Spencer Littel, MacKenzie Barden, Sam Noone and Sam Goodwin, have been studying abroad in Senegal’s capital, Dakar, since early August. During Thanksgiving weekend, they will travel to Foundiougne, Senegal, a rural community of 270,000 people. While there, they will build a church. None of this would have been possible without the support of his hometown, Arvada. “I was expecting to get seven or eight thousand, but it’s a blessing to see what they amount it that we’ve got,” he said. “My main goal was to raise enough money to build a church, now I think we can build two.” Originally, these students and an additional team of volunteers from Faith were scheduled to build two churches in impoverished villages in Senegal. Then, Ebola broke out. Because of the disease’s outbreak, school administrators decided to cancel their annual missions trip to Dakar, opting instead, to go to Costa Rica. “We felt it just wasn’t a wise decision considering the circumstances to take a group of 40 kids there for 10 days,” said
Andrew Hasz, principal at Faith Christian Academy. Without the money from volunteers, the churches could not be built. That’s when an idea popped into Seaman’s mind, and he knew just what to do. “The night we found out FCA wasn’t able to come out here, I felt like I wished there was something I could do,” Seamans said via a Skype interview. “So I met with a couple people here (Dakar) and figured out how to get money out here and how much it would cost to build a church.” In attempt to continue the project, Seamans, along with his fellow FCA students, began a series of outreach efforts to raise the $8,000 necessary to build the church. In September, they reached out to friends and family, sought the support of FCA administration and the help of the Saint Joan of Arc Catholic Church youth group. They created a GoFundMe crowd funding site with a short documentary film of their time in Senegal. Over the next month and a half, the donations poured in. Between community support and a fierce penny war at the Faith Christian Academy Elementary School, this simple request garnered more than $16,000 for the project. “We talked about it in chapel — our elementary school has been amazing with what they’ve raised,” Hasz said. “I think when it’s all said and done … we’ll probably be able to build one church, if not two facilities there.” With the money raised, the students will donate 1,000 Operation Christmas Child boxes to children of Yoff, an impoverished part of Dakar, and build a well, put in a new concrete floor and replace the roof of a church they built in Baad, Senegal. “These people, they don’t have a place to worship, they’re worshiping under a tree,” Seamans said. “We’re giving them a building where they can go and worship God in.” To learn how you can help this cause, visit www.gofundme.com/DAChurchBuilding.

Hickenlooper claims narrow victory Democratic governor fends off challenge from Beauprez By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com One word summed up the mood at a Nov. 5 Capitol victory rally for Gov. John Hickenlooper. “Phew,” the governor said while making a motion with his hand as if to wipe away sweat. After a bruising night for Democrats in Colorado and nationwide, Hickenlooper’s razor thin re-election win over Republican Bob Beauprez was one of the few wins the blue party had to celebrate following Election Night. Results in the gubernatorial race were not known until the morning after the election. After trailing for much of the evening, Hickenlooper eventually was able to pull ahead in the wee hours of the morning. “I think I can now demonstrate that one, even with almost no sleep, can still feel great joy,” Hickenlooper said. As of 11 a.m. on Nov. 5, Hickenlooper held a 1 percentage point lead, with 94 percent of the precincts reporting. He was leading Beauprez by about 25,000 votes.
Supporters cheer as Gov. John Hickenlooper gives a re-election victory speech inside the Capitol on Nov. 5 Photo by Vic Vela Most of the remaining votes were in counties that were backing Hickenlooper. Beauprez had not conceded victory by the time Hickenlooper gave his victory speech, nor had the campaign issued a statement regarding the results. It was expected to be a very close race, and the contest lived up to its billing. For months, Beauprez, a former congressman, hammered at Hickenlooper’s
record and blasted him for failing to lead on key issues including the death penalty and fracking. Helping Beauprez during his campaign were Hickenlooper’s own words. The governor at times found himself walking back comments he made throughout the campaign, including remarks regarding gun control legislation that he gave to a group of sheriffs over the summer.
And Beauprez was helped by a national Republican wave that swept through Colorado and allowed the GOP to take over a U.S. Senate race here and to keep statewide offices that include attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer. But from the beginning, Hickenlooper focused his campaign on his stewardship over a state economy that has picked up steam under his watch. And he maintained a quirky, affable personality on the stump while keeping his promise to voters that he would never run a negative campaign ad, despite some of the groups backing him doing so. “I am so proud that we were able to run a positive campaign,” Hickenlooper said. “But we could not have done it without the encouragement of the people of Colorado.” Hickenlooper thanked his family and staff and supporters. He also thanked Democratic Sen. Mark Udall for his service, several hours after Udall lost his reelection bid to Republican Congressman Cory Gardner. The governor said Gardner called him that morning to congratulate him on the victory. “He said, ‘We’re going to be able to work together very well,’” Hickenlooper said. “We’re going to do everything we can to move this state forward.”
Voters elect to retain ed board incumbent By Crystal Anderson canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Jefferson County voters opted for consistency, electing to keep incumbent board member Jane Goff on the State Board of Education. “I am pleased with the turnout,” Goff said. “I think it’s a great reminder that we all have some work to do.” As the election results rolled in Nov. 4,
Goff retained a 5 percent lead over opponent Laura Boggs with 53.42 percent or 136,292 votes. Goff noted her opponent’s results and said she’s ready to narrow her focus and move forward in Goff the education race. Boggs served on the Jeffco school board from 2009 to 2013. “We have to keep talking,” Goff said. “I am equally interested in moving some

things along in the area of early childhood and high school opportunities for kids.” Elected to the state board in 2008, Goff has worked to implement policies around the state’s new standards, the Colorado Academic Standards, accountability, having balanced assessments and transparency. She’s served on several boards and committees including, the State Advisory Committee for Gifted and Talented, the Colorado State Accountability Network. Prior to sitting on the board, Goff was a Jefferson County School District teacher for 34 years.
“We really need to keep working to make sure that our pre-graduates are really ready to look at a path, feel secure for where they want to go and that the students have more of a voice in their education.” Boggs said she was running to see more attention statewide on academic achievement, local control, choice and student data protection. A mother of two public school students and daughter of an educator, Boggs passion for education is clear. Boggs could not be reached for comment.

Board targeting goals for superintendent By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com While reviewing the superintendent’s proposed evaluation goals, the Jeffco school board decided it was necessary for him to tie his goals to their student achievement ends goals. As the discussion developed at the Nov. 6 meeting, the board found additional topics to discuss and possibly include in the goals. To update the ends goals, the board spe-
cifically discussed reevaluating remediation and third-grade reading, and adding additional goals around eighth-grade math and ACT test scores. “We agreed to have a review of our goals, and possibly update a few of them in our next study session,” Jeffco board president Ken Witt said. “I think we have a great idea on the table to study an eighth-grade math goal, I think it’s also a good idea to talk perhaps about an ACT goal.” The board will further discuss its plans for the goals at the Nov. 20 meeting.

This “new urbanism” subdivision was built in the early 2000’s built around a town center with shops and restaurants and a village green with pool, community center, fitness center and even a outdoor performance area for concerts, etc. This home faces that village green, and the town center is just across that green, so the location could not be more appealing!

The home at left is in the 1980’s Ralston Estates subdivision built around a greenbelt, and this 3-bedroom home at 13820 W. 66th Way backs to that greenbelt! It is tenant occupied until Nov. 25th, so there will be no open houses, but you can take a narrated video tour at www.RalstonEstatesHome.info and then call me for a private showing.

Voters support open negotiation Prop 104 passes easily, other state measures fail By Mikkel Kelly
mkelly@colorado communitymedia.com Voters signaled a want for greater transparency in school board business by passing Proposition 104 — the one of four statewide ballot questions to garner a green light on Election Day. Based on the uncertified results, Proposition 104 was headed for victory by a 2-to1 margin as returns poured in the evening of Nov. 4, and as of the day after, the unof-
ficial count yielded 69 percent in favor to 30 percent opposed. Adams County District 50 Superintendent Pamela Swanson said, “I am in favor of transparency as long as we have a level playing field.” She said she is optimistic how the measure will work as long as the interpretations of the statute are level. At its core, Proposition 104 would “require that local school boards or their representatives negotiate collective bargaining agreements in open meetings,” as highlighted in the 2014 State Ballot Information Booklet, known as the “blue book.” Proponents support the measure as a way to ensure greater oversight of school board work in negotiations. On the other

side, opponents argue that contract issues can be sensitive and difficult and are better handled in the private settings of executives sessions. “I think the time has come, in essence, for government associations to have to do their negotiations in public, just as they have to deliberate in a public setting. So I think it a significant plus for taxpayers,” said Republican Kevin McCasky, president of Jeffco EDC (Economic Development Corporation) and a former Jefferson County commissioner. Jane Urschel, deputy director of the Colorado Association of School Boards, said, “I am not surprised. I think what happened is most districts do not bargain, so it seems logical to do this board work in public.”
Other state questions
Amendment 68 failed by a margin of 71 percent to 28 percent based on unofficial Wednesday morning results. The measure would have allowed casino gambling at horse racetracks in Arapahoe, Mesa and Pueblo counties, with the gambling revenue to support K-12 education in the state. Proponents stated the measure could have provided up to $114.5 million each year for public schools.
Opponents countered that the measure would have had a negative effect on surrounding communities and the measure doesn’t give a say to voters whether gambling is allowed in their communities. Amendment 67, dubbed the “personhood” amendment, was not expected to pass by many political experts and lost by a margin of 64 percent to 35 percent based on unofficial results. Opponents stated the amendment is unnecessary and unclear, allowing government intrusion into personal health care decisions. Proposition 105 was tagged for defeat with a margin of 66 percent to 33 percent. The measure would have required that foods that are genetically modified or produced contain the words “produced with genetic engineering” and require the Colorado Department of Health and Environment to develop regulations and oversee the labeling requirements. Proponents claimed the labeling will increase the availability of information about Colorado’s food supply. Arguments against stated the proposition could result in higher food prices as the cost of labeling and compliance is passed on to consumers.
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.
Charter schools The board of education approved one of two charter school applications. In a 3-2 vote (Newkirk, Williams, Witt) the board approved the Golden View Classical Academy application. The school was approved on the conditions that the applicant would resolve inconsistencies around waivers and details in the insurance model. The minority members (Dahlkemper and Fellman) along with several community members stated they were concerned

about the school’s relationship with Hillsdale College, calling it a slippery slope in the separation of church and state. In an unanimous vote, the board denied the Alexandria School of Innovation application, as there wasn’t a need for it in the district at this time.
Student achievement The board of education listened to four elementary school principals and achievement directors, in an effort to learn and understand how to raise the proficiency reading level of third-graders. The presentation talked about how every child is a reader and a writer, targeting the needs of the individual student, and focusing on student successes. The board asked questions around how reading levels predict assessment outcomes, what’s not working, what programs should be implemented.

GERARD HEALEY President MIKKEL KELLY Publisher and Editor GLENN WALLACE Assistant Editor CRYSTAL ANDERSON Community Editor
Writing for peace is global effort for students “Words have the power to spread awareness, hope, and inspiration to people who would have otherwise despaired.” Is this wisdom from Mahatma Gandhi? Albert Einstein? Martin Luther King, Jr.? No, these words are from Jordan Dalton, a 16-year-old high school student from Indiana, one of the 2013 winners of the Young Writers Contest conducted annually by the international organization Writing for Peace. Fort Collins-headquartered Writing for Peace is a now-global organization that began with a local Young Writer’s Contest in 2011, holding its first nationwide contest in 2012. By the 2014 contest, Writing for Peace has received submissions from students in 24 countries, including India, the Netherlands, Bangladesh, Great Britain, and the Philippines, as well as Vietnam, Pakistan, Malaysia, Macedonia, and the United Arab Emirates. Sponsorships from educational institutions such as Colgate University help produce, “DoveTales: An International Journal of the Arts,” which attracts literary submissions and student writing from around the world. I am honored to serve as a Board Member for this organization, and you may have read about Writing for Peace before in this space. We work to cultivate empathy through education and creative writing to develop a worldwide foundation of compassion.
That’s one of the reasons I was deeply gratified this year when 17-year-old Malala Yousefzai of Pakistan became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, sharing the award with Kailash Satyarthi of India. After a Taliban gunman boarded her school bus in 2012 and shot her in the head, Malala made a remarkable recovery and continues to advocate for girls’ rights, becoming one of the world’s most recognizable voices for both education and peace. Here at home, young people like Cassidy Cole of Denver are confident that they too can change the world with their words. Cassidy, an 8th grade student when she took third place in the 2014 Young Writers Contest fiction category, says she uses her empathy as a compass, “wishing to understand a bewildering world.” Nneoma Ike-Njoku, then 18 and a second-place finisher in 2013, describes her writing as an idea that “becomes a daughter cell, actively dividing into legion.” Nneoma hails from Mararaba, Nasarawra
State, Nigeria – a country where dozens of kidnapped schoolgirls still remain missing, and where at least 50 students were killed just this week by a suicide bomber during a school assembly. Violence like this is why it’s so important, so urgent for organizations such as Writing for Peace to inspire and guide young writers so that their writing can work toward bringing nations closer to nonviolent conflict resolution and into societies that value human rights. Does this sound too optimistic, too naïve? Without these ideals, we can never hope to accomplish peace, and without the voices of the world’s young people – bold, questioning, and “dividing into legion” – we cannot move forward in empathetic leadership. This kind of leadership is best expressed not only in the words of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, but also in those of Janani Venkatesh, 19, of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India: “I learned many wonderful, bewildering, and shocking things about the world during my research.” And in those of Jordan Dalton: “I’ve come to realize that my work really can make a difference in the world.” Andrea Doray is a writer who believes, as Janani Venkatesh does, that writing for peace connects us with people around the globe. Contact Andrea at a.doray@andreadoray.com.

What do you do to stay in shape during the holidays? With the holiday season comes parties, rich foods and delicious desserts. It can sometimes be tough to keep the pounds off, so we asked people at the City Park Recreation Center in Westminster what they do to stay in shape during the holidays.
I walk in the pool against the current for 45 minutes four times a week and I’ve lost 34 pounds. Neil Minden
I don’t go to parties on an empty stomach and I always leave my potluck leftovers at the party. Jackie Bowers
I drink a lot of water, especially before, during and after meals. And when it comes to a buffet, I eat just one of each thing. Lisa Barcelona I do the same thing that I always do, which is walking 30 minutes a day and doing stretching for 30 minutes. Loretta Flom

The chatter after the storm Well, the voters have spoken. And you know what they said? They said “shut up. All of you!” Seriously, I’m starting to think the day after the election is my second favorite day of television all year long, right behind the first day of the NCAA basketball tournament — or maybe that day every Fall when NBC announces that this year’s attempt at resurrecting the career of one of their former stars has failed and they’ve cancelled the show (Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry/Bradley Whitford, Lisa Kudrow, Michael J Fox, Sean Hayes ... it’s just kinda comfortingly predictable). I would like to suggest that some smart politico should do a study asking “at what point do political ads stop making a difference — or have the opposite effect than their intent?” Because for me, this election season lasted about six weeks too long, and a lot of money was wasted. At any rate, the election has been dissected a lot, but I would like to suggest that the message the voters sent was more limited than the pundits are reading. Democrat pundits have been very busy trying to convince themselves that this
was really just a matter of not enough of the right people showing up to vote. I guess it doesn’t occur to them that maybe they didn’t show up because the last two years have proven to be disappointing and, perhaps, shaken their faith in the efficacy of government. Republican pundits, on the other hand, have been every busy gloating that the tsunami that overran the country last Tuesday is indicative of a massive shift in their direction. And, while the numbers do give some credence to that interpretation, I think the reality is a lot more pedestrian. Consider that, in the House of Representatives, more than 95-percent of the
seats stayed in the same hands. And yes, districts are so thoroughly gerrymandered now that competitive races are laughably rare (our own 6th district, which was supposed to be the closest race in the country, was, in the end, a cakewalk for the incumbent). But, even so, if things were so bad or one side’s message so compelling, there should have been some more movement. There wasn’t. What was truly remarkable was how little actual, affirmative vision for the future Republicans put forward, and they still won. It was a cautious strategy, and it worked pretty well, but it doesn’t really provide them much of a platform from which to govern. The voters didn’t vote *for* something, because they weren’t given something to vote for; and I don’t think they voted against the ideological direction of the Senate and the White House—it was only two years ago that they had a chance to vote on ideology, and they re-elected the President by a fairly comfortable margin. I think Americans are pretty tolerant of ideological differences, though they lose their patience when ideology dictates pri-
orities that are out of line with theirs (see: gun control, recalls). What they are not tolerant of, however, is incompetence. It was just eight years ago that the American public sent the same message to Washington in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and the deterioration of Iraq. Last week, with stagnant wages, near record low job force participation, the world falling apart, health care plans being cancelled by the thousands, and a President happier to be photographed on the golf course than in discussions with Congressional leaders, the perception of incompetence spawned a tidal wave. But, that’s nothing to gloat about. Republicans, whether in Congress, the state Senate, or the local school board, heed well the actual message: we’re watching, and your leash is short.

Down a long dark road my kitten waited Abra and Cadabra were the two golden kittens on the website of Evergreen Animal Protective League. They both had the cutest faces ever. I wanted a kitten badly to go with our other sedentary cat. I wanted energy and playfulness in the house. I’ve had cats all my life and knew how much fun kittens are. And it was my birthday, and even though I was going out to both lunch and dinner with family, like a little kid I needed a present. Something tangible, something special! On my birthday, I filled out an online application to adopt Abra or Cadabra and was contacted the next day. The news was this: someone had adopted Abra, but Cadabra remained. I called and was told I could come see Cadabra. “Honey, “ I told my husband who was deep into reading a Sherlock Holmes book in the late afternoon. “I found my birthday present in Evergreen, a kitten!” “It’s getting dark, could we go tomorrow?” “No, the kitten’s a winner. Her sibling got taken, she’ll be gone if we pause for a
deep breath.” “OK, then, you drive.” No problem. We jumped in my car. The kitten was on Soda Creek Road. I thought I knew where that was, as I lived in Evergreen for 24 years. But I took Highway 65 which goes through Soda Creek development, but it wasn’t the right road. My heart pounded, it was getting darker and darker. “Didn’t you Google it and get the directions?” my husband asked slightly irritated. “No, but I know what to do!” and I drove back to Highway 74, turned north and then left on Bergen Parkway, and then
LETTER TO THE EDITOR In response to the full page ad for the organization Catholics for Choice that ran the week of Oct. 20: As a “cradle Catholic,” I am very concerned that readers of this paper might assume this organization represents mainstream Catholicism. It most assuredly does not. You cannot be a member of the Roman Catholic community and support Pro Choice. This statement has been
issued by our bishops and pastors locally. How can anyone ignore the “rights” of the innocent human being in utero by focusing solely on a woman’s right to do what she wants with her body? The developing child is not part of a mother’s body. As Christians, we pray for a conversion of heart in all those who support “choice.” Diane Shea Highlands Ranch

I want to say is both dogs and cats are coming from other states to be adopted in Colorado. Our kitten came from Kansas. There are many adoption groups helping find homes for animals. I particularly like Evergreen Animal Protective League because when I lost a cat years ago, a neighbor turned him into EAP and I got my beloved cat back. I’m thinking of volunteering for one of these adoption organizations and maybe fostering a dog. I would like to give back. Mary Stobie’s new patchwork memoir You Fall Off, You Get Back On.

Rain splashed the windshield. But it was all meant to be. We found the Cat Lodge, a boarding house for cats.

Baby on way for actress from Boulder Actress Jessica Biel, who moved to Boulder as a child and grew up there, and her superstar husband, Justin Timberlake, are expecting their first child, according to a story in Us Weekly magazine. According to the story, “Right now they are just enjoying the news for themselves,” one pal tells Us of the “Blunderer” actress, 32, and Timberlake, 33, who dated on and off for five years before getting engaged in January 2012. “They just want a happy baby.” Biel and Timberlake celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary in October. “It’s weird because it feels like almost nothing has changed, yet something that you can’t really describe, or something that isn’t tangible, has changed,” Biel told Ellen DeGeneres of married life after returning from her honeymoon in 2012. “It just feels incredible.” Read more: www.usmagazine.com/ celebrity-moms/news/jessica-biel-is-pregnant-expecting-first-child-with-justintimberlake-2014511#ixzz3IJfIY6Gd.
Colorado Railroad Museum presents new Christmas production
Santa unfashionably early
By Amy Woodward
awoodward@coloradocommunitymedia.com
T
he sound of a silver sleigh bell ringing is heard by those who believe in the magic of Christmas. Do you hear it? For those who have grown out of the childish notion — prepare to be inspired. The Colorado Railroad Museum is presenting a new event that brings to life one of the most popular Christmas stories in modern times; The Polar Express. The museum, which hosts many events throughout the year, has taken this newly installed Christmas production to new heights of imagination by featuring an interactive train ride that pulls visitors into the adventure. “This is a completely new event for us because it’s more of a play,” said Donald Tallman, executive director of the Colorado Railroad Museum. “We are reproducing ‘The Polar Express’ experience.” Unlike other seasonal events at the museum, The Polar Express Train Ride will start at dusk with two additional show times afterward. This allows for a realistic reenactment in which the young protagonist in the 1985 publication of The Polar Express, boards the magical train late at night and finds himself on an enchanted ride to the North Pole to meet the man he was told didn’t exist anymore — Santa Claus. “The ‘Polar Express’ is a perennial favorite,” said Julianne Rist, assistant director of public service for Jefferson County Public Libraries. “It is one of those Christmas stories that is read throughout the year, and always peaks during the holiday season.” Guests who arrive at the museum will be escorted outside to the train yard where one of the museum’s historical train cars, acting as The Polar Express, sits quietly. An actor playing the conductor from the book steps out from the train car and yells; All aboard! A boy dressed in pajamas and a robe appears and the characters act out one of the opening scenes from the book. Once the boy enters the train, the conductor addresses the audience and exclaims All Aboard! — the cue for ticket holders to board the train. Once on board the train, actors play out scenes from the book, complete with dancing and singing chefs who serve hot chocolate and a cookie to passengers. The book is then read aloud and guests are brought to the “North Pole” where Santa appears and gives everyone a silver bell. “You actually get to experience the magic of the train,” said Missy Moore, choreographer for the Polar Express Train Ride. This will be the first time the Polar Express experience will be in Denver, Tallman said with the closest production of this type in Durango. Tickets are on sale, and more than a

IF YOU GO The Polar Express Train Ride: running time 75 minutes Performances every Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting Nov. 21 to Dec. 28 Additional performances on Wednesday, Nov. 26, Monday, Dec. 22 and Tuesday, Dec. 23 Show times are 4:30 p.m.,6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Ticket prices range from $30 to $100 a person depending on class of service Children under 2 years old can ride for free on a ticketed adult’s lap For more information and to purchase tickets, go online at ColoradoRailroadMuseum.org or call 303-279-4591 or 1-800-365-6263
A CELEBRATED BOOK In 1986, The Polar Express received the Randolph Caldecott Medal, which is awarded annually to artists for the most distinguished American picture book for Children. That same year, The Polar Express landed on the New York Times bestseller list. Since that time, 7 million copies have been sold across the globe, according to the book’s website. In 2004, the movie release of the book featured a celebrity voice-over from Tom Hanks and grossed $319 million in the box office worldwide. The Jefferson County Public Library offers The Polar Express in several formats including print, audio and DVD. There are 22 copies of the printed book and they have been checked out hundreds of times. Audio books are checked out for three weeks at a time, and the DVD has been checked out 88 times so far this year.
Santa upstaged Thanksgiving (my birthday this year) by sledding into the Park Meadows dining hall, 9:30-10:30 a.m. on Nov. 8. The free welcome celebration in Lone Tree included milk and cookies, gifts, balloon artists, crafts with Disney, Lego and Pottery Barn Kids and holiday music. Special guest appearances included L.L. Bear, Build-A-Bear Workshop’s Bearemy, the Gingerbread Man, the Holiday Polar Bear and more. Plus, the jolly man himself arrived via big red fire truck to greet guests before heading down to Santa’s Alpine Village for photos. Santa’s Super Sleigh, on loan from the North Pole until Dec. 24, will be on display in the Vistas Court.
Osteria Marco top pizza
Thrillist.com, a website that’s not afraid of inciting a food fight, has just released its list of The Best Pizzeria in every state. Them’s fightin’ words. The timeless debate over the perfect pizza has divided many households, but Thrillist is willing to go there. Here’s what the website purports about pizza: “There are things in America that you can find no matter where you are. The kindness of strangers ... Good pizza. We like to think that somewhere, in each state, there’s a truly sublime pie, and to prove that point, we’ve crunched the numbers (and the crusts) and come up with a definitive list of the best pizzerias in every corner of this great nation ...These are the best pizzerias in every state in America.” Colorado’s winning pie purveyor is Osteria Marco on Larimer Square, Thrillist says. Restaurant mogul Frank Bonanno is no stranger to accolades, so it’s not surprising that his casual Italian eatery made the cut (or slice). Thrillist said, “One of Denver’s premier restaurateurs opened up this pizza place, and it’s a passion project. Mozzarella is made in-house, and pizzas don’t conform to any particular style — it’s all his own.” Osteria Marco is at 1453 Larimer St., www.osteriamarco.com, 303-534-5855.

Laughing in Olde Town Olde Town eatery opens comedy club By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Tucked away in the heart of Olde Town is the city’s newest comedy club. To find it, slink through an old-fashioned telephone booth and follow the laughter up a flight of hardwood stairs. Comedy night at the Arvada Tavern is the latest in the prohibition-era establishment’s entertainment offerings. Held in
the tavern’s upstairs theatre, the show welcomes a variety of comics including local, regional and national talent. Adam Douglas, the tavern’s general manager, said the small, 60-person, 500-square-foot comedy club fills a void. “The area’s missing it,” he said. “There are tons of music venues down here but not really any comedy shows.” The show — a reinstatement of the monthly comedy club the tavern held last winter — is produced by comedian Chuck Roy and something is the perfect night out, he said. “It’s a throwdown on the fun and funny,” he said. “It’s a fun professional comedy

show that’s meant to be a night out for the evening.” A no-holds-bar approach, the two-hour show will feature uncensored performances by Roy, and two other professional comedians, who will vary each month. Playing to the audience, the comedians will perform timely and relevant material, interacting with the audience while they relax and sip on one of the tavern’s vintage cocktails. “With the comedy here, it offers regulars something else that’s kind of out of the norm,” Douglas said. “For people who are more into the comedy and not vintage cocktails, this kind of forces them to be exposed to the vintage cocktails in a good
The venerable Fort restaurant in Morrison is offering a lineup of holiday happenings to entertain your out-of-town guests with a slice of Colorado’s history. Festivities for the whole family are presented by the Tesoro Cultural Center, the local nonprofit committed to protecting and educating the community about the artistic treasures of the American past.

way.” Held in-between swing night and the weekend’s live music performances, the show is a new addition to the speakeasyesque venue, one Roy said he hopes will continue into the future. “I’m trying to bring out the latest talent and the up and coming talent to the Arvada area,” he said. “I still hope we’re still around for years to come, maybe becoming peoples holiday shows.” The tavern’s next performance will begin at 7:15 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 20, in the upstairs theater.

Considering the limitations of internal medicine
Woods Continued from Page 1
But Woods initial lead of around 700 votes held up, even as the last votes were counted last week. Zenzinger, a Democrat, was appointed to the SD-19 seat in December following the resignation of Hudak, who was facing a recall petition effort spearheaded by Woods. Zenzinger spent her time at the Statehouse working to bring forth eight bills focusing on what she dubbed the “Three E’s,” described as education, the elderly and economics. Prior to her term in the senate, Zenzinger served on the Arvada City Council and several local boards and commissions. “We knew from the beginning that this race was going to be a tight one, because of the party-affiliated composition of the district,” Zenzinger said. “We were able to run a very smooth, competitive and clean campaign, and now we find ourselves
In the month after graduation from medical school, he decided to try anyhow. Though the memories are “hazy,” Holt recalls how asking for assistance from your attending was rumored to be a “sign of weakness,” even though there were times when the help would’ve been more than merely welcome. Even when nothing can be done, it’s easier when you do it with someone. Young interns learn to give bad news, which is nearly impossible to teach – especially when the answer to the question waiting for the final votes to be counted.” Moving forward, Woods told the Arvada Press in an earlier interview, she wants to focus on listening to the needs of the district while bringing back integrity to the statehouse. During the campaign, Woods said she wanted to reduce spending, increase protection around personal and individual property rights as well as promote a more business-friendly environment. “I will be a voice for liberty, I will be a voice of common sense, and that I will listen to the citizens of Senate District 19 and work for them,” she said in an earlier interview. District 19 encompasses the cities of Arvada and Westminster. Woods, a Colorado native, jumped into the race following dissatisfaction with Hudak’s support of gun control measures. In 2013, she spearheaded two petition drives to recall Hudak. During her campaign, Woods said she’s an advocate for pro-life, small business and smaller government. Outside of the campaign, Woods owns a court reporting business in Denver. She lives in Arvada with her husband.
“What next?” is “I don’t know.” It’s impossible to teach because sometimes, a doctor does know what’s next. Both parties do, in fact, but he “couldn’t say that either.” There were times for Holt when patients weren’t “playing by… rules” that demanded lucidity and a hospital stay with no problems. Of course, a lack of the former often made the patient blissfully, “eternally unaware” of his impending death, of which Holt admits he was “almost envious.” No matter how much training an intern gets, he has to learn by himself that there are choices nobody wants to make, but he must. He has to learn that lifesaving can be “a sorry gift I have to offer…” He eventually understands that first impressions don’t last; that a mask shouldn’t mask the personality beneath it; that death often does dual duty; that patients lie; and that, despite what anybody says, “you couldn’t count on second chances.”
In the introduction of “Internal Medicine,” author Terrence Holt muses about ethics and privacy when writing about patients. Because of those issues, he says, the patients in this book are factional “assemblages … compiled from multiple cases” made to “capture the essence of something too complex to be understood any other way.” Trust me: fact or fiction isn’t going to matter once you start this exquisite book of essays. You’ll be too wrapped up in living and dying, in exhaustion, fog, and the torment of both author and patient. Indeed, Holt is a poet in a white coat with a literary bedside manner that allows us to absorb the shock of his words as we simultaneously note the beauty of them. I carried this book around with me for three days because, once it’s started, it’s hard to let it go. If you’ve ever pondered your length between life and death, grab “Internal Medicine” and hang on.

“Internal Medicine: A Doctor’s Stories” by Terrence Holt 2014, Liveright $24.95 / $27.95 Canada 275 pages It took you awhile to get the hang of things. It’s always that way with a new job. Nobody’s born knowing how to work and learning to be proficient takes time, patience, and training. In the new book “Internal Medicine” by Terrence Holt, it also takes determination, exhaustion, and the knowledge that you can’t fix everything. Some stories simply can’t be told. On a March day during his intern year, when he and several dozen people were engaged in a cacophonous “roar and babble” at the nursing desk, Terrence Holt suddenly realized that no description would ever do justice to that which he’d been experiencing. It was “too manifold, too layered” to describe.

An animated life A-West grad part of Book of Life By Crystal Anderson
canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com Moving living paintings from canvas to screen is Paul Sullivan’s specialty. Sullivan, an art director and visual development artist, took a moment to sit down with Colorado Community Media at a café near his Wash Park home, to talk about his artistic journey and his latest project, the major motion picture, “The Book of Life.” “I like what’s out there in mainstream media,” he said, “but I really try to do something a little bit different, and that’s what we tried to do with ‘The Book of Life.’ ” Originally born in Montana, Sullivan knew he was an artist at an early age. After moving to Arvada in elementary school, he realized he had a love of art and animation, noting Disney’s original team of animators, Sullivan the Nine Old Men, and a love of their films, such as the Sword and the Stone. An Arvada West High School alum, Sullivan spent years learning from both family and his teachers, developing doodle and sketch skills, falling deeper in love with animation. Following graduation, Sullivan attended the Rocky Mountain School of Art and Design (RMCAD), where, rather than animation, he found a new passion — illustration. “I love the process of creation, the process from sketch to a finished painting,” he said. “Now I feel like every project I work on is like getting a master’s degree in illustration or animation.” This passion placed him on a path destined for the silver screen. In 2003, with a degree in illustration under his belt, Sullivan applied his craft to works for Alexandre O. Philippe’s films, Activision video games and other animated films.

A few years later, through a series of connections, he met Jorge R. Gutierrez, the director of “The Book of Life.” With a mutual love for visual-concept books, Gutierrez pitched the film to Sullivan, describing a story of multiple worlds with multiple styles and a myriad of colors and design elements. “Art in film never looks like the art we create,” Sullivan said, referencing books about the artwork behind movies. “When he (Gutierrez) told me he wanted to enlist me to create that for the first time in our careers — I was on board.” From that point in 2009, Sullivan doodled, sketched and painted his way, one piece at a time, into the world of The Book of Life. He drew inspiration from Mexican and Spanish folk art and history, nouveau art, and the tradition of Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead holiday. Sullivan and his team created the film’s three wondrous worlds — the present, The Land of the Remembered and The Land of the Forgotten. “Because we’re creating a fictional world, we can write our own story,” he said referencing how the visual elements were key in the animation process. “There’s never been a film with such strong influence of the Día de los Muertos holiday.” The film released Oct. 17. Since that time, Sullivan has traveled around the nation promoting the film as well as vacationing. Settling into normal life, he is engaging in opportunities with art and design students across Colorado, showing presentations of his work and successes to date. During his RMCAD presentation, more than 120 students and faculty gazed upon Sullivan’s work, talking about how he was their idol and his career is the dream. He spoke for nearly an hour and a half, delving into his process, ever-changing styles, and work to date. “It’s really exciting,” he said. “It feels good to know you got a film off the ground, at its roots, then to see it grow to more than 300 people — I really like that journey.” For more information on Sullivan or to follow his work, visit www.pencilprimate.blogspot.com/
Specialty court reaches out to veterans Veterans Treatment Court making progress By Amy Woodward
awoodward@coloradocommunitymedia.com When entering the doors to the Veterans Treatment Court in Division 8, an unusual vibe of jubilation hangs in the air not typically felt in courtrooms. There is applause and smiling faces in the court for former military men and women who are working hard to get their lives back on track after bouts of legal trouble and substance abuse. “It’s interesting, after a relatively short period of time, I don’t pay much attention what the offense is that got them to court but how are they doing in their treatment program,” said Hal Sargent, chief deputy district attorney for Jeffco. “We’ve seen some remarkable changes.” In April, the First Judicial District for Jeffco and Gilpin counties launched a specialized problem-solving court for veterans. The Veterans Treatment Court or VTC provides an alternative treatment program to incarceration for U.S. military veterans with trauma disorders. In a wide collaboration with prosecutors, defense attorneys, law enforcement as well as the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, VTC is providing positive opportunities for selected candidates in overcoming underlying issues associated with illegal behavior, and drug and alcohol issues. “There are a number of us that realize we have veterans who come out of service damaged with mental illness, with injury, with drug addictions,” Sargent said. “There’s been a long history of seeing those folks cycle in and out
of the system. Our job as DAs is public safety but you can approach that several ways; you can approach it by locking people up or by trying to treat the disorders that lead to the behavior.” Currently, 16 veterans are in the 14-to-18-month-long program divided into four phases, which they must complete. So far, nine individuals have progressed to phase two, with one person beginning his journey in phase three. VTC is designed to serve 40 offenders at a time with participants in the program expected to grow as Jeffco holds the second largest veteran population in the state. “I really view it as moral responsibility of our community to be able to recognize that there may be circumstances that contribute to some criminal behavior of our veterans,” said Pete Weir Jeffco’s District Attorney. Offenders that are selected for VTC must meet certain criteria in which they are deemed high risk for substance abuse, mental illness or homelessness. VTC is only an option for veterans in which the offense committed allows for the intervention of the specialty court. “Irrespective of the service status of an individual — we’re not going to sacrifice public safety for any of our specialty courts,” Weir said. An individualized treatment plan is designed for each veteran to ensure they are accountable for their behavior as well as ensuring their needs are met through the numerous resources made available through VTC. “What can we do to help you succeed over the next few weeks?” asks District Court Judge Margie Enquist to every veteran standing before her. It’s a question seldom asked by judges to defendants. Depending on the answer, which may include housing assistance or setting goals, the court listens in attentive silence, waiting to step in and walk the path to success with U.S. veterans.

State Senate control changes hands Colorado House remains under Democratic control By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bad Election Day turned into a worse week for Democrats as vote tallies from an Adams County state Senate race resulted in Democrats losing power of that legislative chamber. In Senate District 24, Republican Beth Martinez-Humenik defeated former Democratic state Rep. Judy Solano by 876 votes in a contest that wasn’t officially decided until Nov. 7, three days after the election. The loss means that Republicans, who entered Election Day as a one-vote minority in the Senate, now control the chamber, 18-17. The results mean that Sen. Bill Cadman (R-Colorado Springs) soon will become the next Senate president, taking the job away from Morgan Carroll (D-Aurora). “The Republican Senate Caucus is eager to move Colorado forward on so many important issues, and away from the extraordinary divisiveness of recent years,” Cadman said through an emailed statement on Nov. 8. Martinez-Humenik will take over the seat that was vacated by Lois Tochtrop, a Democrat from Thornton who was termlimited. Control of the Senate ultimately hinged on the results from the SD 24 race, but other races also proved important in deciding the chamber’s balance of power. Four contests in Jefferson County resulted in incredibly tight races that were not resolved on Election Night. Two Democratic incumbents, Jeanne Nicholson of Senate District 16 and Rachel Zenzinger of SD 19 lost their seats to Republican challengers Tim Neville and Laura Woods. Democratic Sens. Andy Kerr of Lake-
wood and Cheri Jahn of Wheat Ridge barely held on against challengers Tony Sanchez and Larry Queen. The two seats Democrats lost were washed out by Democratic pick-ups of seats they had held until last year. Democratic state Rep. Leroy Garcia defeated incumbent Republican George Rivera in Pueblo while former state Rep. Mike Merrifield unseated Republican Sen. Bernie Herpin in Colorado Springs. Rivera and Herpin won their seats last year during recall elections in which voters ousted Democratic incumbents for their support of gun-control legislation. Meanwhile, Democrats held on to the House of Representatives, an outcome that was in doubt throughout the week. Rep. Daniel Kagan (D-Cherry Hills Village) eked out a victory to retain his seat, which helped to cement the Democratic majority in the House. Kagan’s is one of the most evenly divided districts in the state. But Democrats never imagined they would be sweating out results in Adams County days after the election. There, Democratic Rep. Joe Salazar of Thornton edged out challenger Carol Becker. And, in a surprise to many, Democratic Rep. Jenise May lost her seat to JoAnn Windholz. May sits on the powerful Joint Budget Committee and was selected as chairwoman to the House Majority Project to elect new Democratic state representatives. Democrats suffered several other key losses on Election Night, including the U.S. Senate race and down-ticket races for attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer.
GOP wave ‘smaller here’
House Speaker Mark Ferrandino (DDenver) said he expected Democrats to lose a couple of seats in the chamber. But when it was all said and done, he was pleased that the party kept control of the House.

Marquez’s three touchdowns delivers win Panthers to face No. 2 Valor Christian By Daniel Williams dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com LAKEWOOD - Pomona knew it would be tougher a second time around. But the No. 1 Panthers also proved to be the best team in a tough rivalry as they survived No. 2 Columbine 21-14 in the second round of the 5A state playoffs Friday at Jeffco Stadium. In a rematch of a game played just one month ago Pomona got a superb effort from its superstar player in senior Isaac Marquez, who scored all three of the Panthers’ touchdowns. “Marquez is just a great football player who does so many things for us,” Pomona coach Jay Maddon said. “And we needed him to be that player for us.” Pomona will now prepare to face No. 2 Valor Christian Friday at 7 p.m., in what could be the game of the year between two of the state’s best teams. Valor beat Mountain Vista 44-0 on Friday night to advance to the quarterfinals. But against Columbine on Friday night it was The Isaac Marquez Show. Marquez scored Pomona’s first touchdown of the game off a Justin Roberts pass 17 yards into the end zone. The Rebels scored their first half touchdown on a broken fourth down play where senior Austin Norton scored from 31 yards out. And the two teams were tied 7-7 after a first half highlighted by stout defense. But Marquez was a marquee performer in the second half, scoring a 1-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter to give

D’Evelyn falls in semis Air Academy Jaguars complete most successful season in program history By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com PARKER - No. 4 D’Evelyn soccer proved to be one of the best teams in the state this season. But they were forced to go up against the single best team in the state, falling to No. 1 Air Academy 6-1 in the 4A state playoff semifinals Wednesday at Sports Authority Stadium. Moreover, the state’s single best team also features the state’s single best player in senior Austin Dewing, who produced a hat trick in the first half, en route to Air Academy’s huge victory. Dewing scored his first two goals in the first five minutes of the game putting D’Evelyn in a big hole. Dewing scored his third goal late in the first half. One more Air
Academy goal, and just like that the Jaguars were down 4-0 at halftime. “Those two early goals put us in a really tough place and we were forced to play catch up the entire game,” D’Evelyn coach Paul Moline said. “Air Academy is a really good team and they showed that tonight.” Three days later Air Academy won a 4A state championship, beating The Classical Academy 2-0 Saturday at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. But D’Evelyn season was definitely not a failure — but the most successful season in school history. D’Evelyn completed a perfect 7-0 league schedule 4A Jeffco on its way to a 16-3 season. The Jaguars won 10 straight games during one stretch of the season and have now put their team on the short list of elite 4A programs. “It hurts now but when we look back at our season we will see that we accomplished a lot and to just make it to this point is pretty special,” D’Evelyn goaltender Chris

Beatdiggers beat Faith Christian Eagles cannot overcome injury loss of Buchanan By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia.com BRUSH - The loss of quarterback Adam Buchanan to a devastating ankle break proved to be the end of Faith Christian’s season, even if only delayed for a week. Without their junior quarterback who was injured the week before the No. 8 Eagles were knocked out of the state playoffs by No. 1 Brush 21-0 Saturday at Brush High School. Despite a valiant effort by Faith Christian’s under-appreciated defense Brush did enough to hold off the Eagles and advance to the semifinals. Unbeaten Brush (11-0) didn’t care that Faith Christian

Faith Christian’s offensive players react after their junior quarterback Adam Buchanan broke his ankle during last week’s playoff victory over Bayfield. The Eagles were eliminated by Brush 21-0 Saturday at Brush High School. Photo by Dan Williams was without its star quarterback as the Beetdigger’s own star quarterback senior Kyle Rosenbrock shined, breaking off repeated big runs including a 65-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Rosenbrock ran in another touchdown from 29-yards and then threw a touchdown to Niko Guzman to give Brush the 21-0 win. But give the Eagles a ton of credit defensively for keeping more Brush points off the scoreboard and keep their team in the game. The loss of Buchanan, who was responsible for 15 touchdowns and an impressive 113.6 quarterback, was too much for Faith Christian to overcome. Faith Christian’s senior running back Daniel Langewisch attempted to replace Buchanan but the move instead almost took
their star running back out of the game as well. Faith Christian could not convert on its opportunity in the second quarter to get on the score board and change the tempo and momentum of the game. The Eagles were at the goal line just three yards from pay dirt but failed to punch the ball in and turned the ball over on downs after a tough penalty for having 12 men on the field. But the way the Eagles still managed to play defensively has to have Faith’s coaches thinking that if they had their junior leader in the lineup that perhaps they could have pulled off a massive upset. Buchanan fractured his ankle late in the third quarter on a 4-and-1 quarterback keeper play call in a game that Faith Christian was up 34-14 over Bayfield.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 10, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A rejection of your attempt to be friendly leaves you with two choices: Try again, or give up. If you want to make another effort, go slowly. Let things develop without pressure. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) It could be a problem dealing with unfamiliar people who do things differently from what you’re used to. But rely on that strong sense of purpose to get you through this difficult period. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) To avoid neglecting a personal matter because of a demanding new workplace schedule, start prioritizing immediately. Knowing how to apportion your time takes a little while to set up.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) It won’t be easy to avoid some of the pressures that come with change. Best advice: Take things a step at a time, and you’ll be less likely to trip up while things are in a chaotic state. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) A much-talked-about workplace change could be coming soon. Be sure to get all the details involved in the process, and once you have them, you can decide how you want to deal with it. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22)You might still believe that your trust was betrayed, although the facts would appear to prove the opposite. But by the week’s end you should learn something that will help set the record straight. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Holiday plans could be a challenge because of shifting circumstances. But a more settled period starts by midweek, allowing you to firm up your plan-making once and for all. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) The facts continue to be on your side. So make use of them in dealing with any challenge to your stated position. Also, open your mind to the offer of help from an unlikely source. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21)There could still be a communication problem holding up the resolution of a troublesome situation. Stay with it, and eventually your message will get through and be understood. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A possible change in your workplace schedule might create a chaotic situation for a while. But once things begin to settle down, you might find that this could work to your advantage. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A recent job-linked decision might need to be reassessed because of the possibility of finding benefits you might have overlooked. Check out all related data to help in the search. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A personal situation you agreed to might not be as acceptable to the other person involved in the matter. Avoid pressuring and bullying. Instead, seek common ground by talking things through. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for touching people’s minds as well as their hearts. You would make an outstanding educator. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.
Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
