Felony escapee in custody

Forum shows differing economic angles

Suspect captured in Boulder following roll-over accident

Chamber event highlights 6 gubernatorial candidates

By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Key differences in economic approaches 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 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 develop-

ment 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 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. Forum continues on Page 12

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 Sandlin 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 said. In 2004, Sandlin was hit with an unlawful sexual contact charge in Arvada and as a result, he is a registered sex offender. Escapee continues on Page 12

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.

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 involve-

ment 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 pub-

licly reveal a document showing that sheriff’s deputies were aware of the gunmen’s threats made on a website a year before the shootings. Almy and Brown accuse Shrader of taking Shrader part in the cover-up and JCSO’s decision to not disclose the in-

formation, 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.”

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.

on Oct. 15. The fire was called in by neighbors who saw smoke and flames around 1:30 a.m. Two people were home when the fire broke out. One person escaped and had a neighbor call 911. When firefighters arrived at the 12000 block of W. Exposition Drive in Lakewood, they found heavy smoke and fire. One person was still inside and had to be rescued by firefighters. Both people, who were asleep at the time of the fire, were transported to a local hospital. A West Metro Fire Investigator has determined the cause of the fire to be an unattended fire in an incinerator built into the side of the home. The family had been burning leaves and other materials earlier in the day which rekindled during the night and sparked the fire. The home suffered extensive fire and smoke damage and will be uninhabitable. Unfortunately, the home did not have smoke alarms.

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.

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 Administration 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.

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. Please make checks payable to Denver Center for the Performing Arts and mail to: DCPA Development Office, 1101 13th St., Denver, CO 80204.

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.

Arena books Sam Smith

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.

Phone and Internet Discounts Available to CenturyLink Customers The Colorado Public Utilities Commission designated CenturyLink as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier within its service area for universal service purposes. CenturyLink’s basic local service rates for residential voice lines are $15.40-$17.00 per month and business services are $30.60-$35.02 per month. Specific rates will be provided upon request. CenturyLink participates in a government benefit program (Lifeline) to make residential telephone service more affordable to eligible low-income individuals and families. Eligible customers are those that meet eligibility standards as defined by the FCC and state commissions. Residents who live on federally recognized Tribal Lands may qualify for additional Tribal benefits if they participate in certain additional federal eligibility programs. The Lifeline discount is available for only one telephone per household, which can be either a wireline or a wireless telephone.

Escapee Continued from Page 1

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 be-

fore 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. dent 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?”

wedding industry. 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-to-be 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. 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

instead of the full week,” said Angela Cline, citizen outreach specialist and project manager with Lakewood. “We decided to everything we could open to show people how we work as a city.” According to Lisa White, membership services manager with the CML, the idea was to find a way to encourage citizens to think about the services their cities offer and celebrate those services.

Lone Tree gets ‘Inspyred’ Oct. 18 marked the grand opening of Denver-based Inspyre Boutique’s third location. The new 2,000-square-foot boutique, at 8441 S.

The Lone Tree boutique is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. During the grand opening celebration, the first 41 people (a nod to the store’s address) in the door received a $25 gift certificate. Shoppers also enjoyed a photo booth with props and other perks throughout the day. Inspyre Boutiques feature women’s clothing, jewelry, accessories, shoes and gifts from local, national and international designers, including BB Dakota, Voluspa Candles and Denver-based Hippo Kiss Creations.

“Some cities are adopting resolutions, some are hosting community events like Lakewood,” White said. “We have 34 municipalities who are participating and we have a nice variety of events.” White said the organization hopes that residents will end Colorado Cities and Towns Week with a deeper appreciation and awareness of the work that goes into running cities. “We want to get the community out to celebrate our facilities,” said Cline. “Residents can see up close and personal how we work to serve the community.” For more information visit www.Lakewood.org/Cityweek.

be putting $5 million into property and building improvements,” he said. “We hope there is a public component as we move forward.” Yockey said the new name reflects the improvements coming to the area that began with the Lamar Station on the W Rail line and added that in only took about 10 minutes to come up with because of how well it fits the vision of the area. Yockey also provided details of the Casa Bonita lease extension, which was met by cheers from the audience when he announced it. “They had been on a month-to-month lease for years, but we were able to sign them to a 15 year extension with five five-year extensions possible,” he said. “The restaurant will be here for the next generation.” The newly announced Planet Fitness that will be coming to Lamar Station will open in December-January and is estimated to draw around 10,000 members to the club. The Lakewood Arts Council (LAC) will also be moving into a 2,500 square-foot space, Yockey announced. “We’re looking for a way to add more creative venues to the area,” said Bill Marino, executive director of the West

By Clarke Reader

creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com After weeks of big announcements about the plans for the Lamar Station Plaza, Broad Street Realty met the community in person during the monthly West Colfax Community Association (WCCA) meeting on Oct. 15. Tom Yockey, co-founder of Broad Street, spoke to gathered community leaders, business people and residents about what the company has achieved so far and what is still in the works. “We spent $9 million on the property but we’re going to

Colfax Business Improvement District. As phase one construction on the project begins, residents can expect to see the parking area in front of the Planet location get cleaned up and Yockey said Broad Street is working with the 40 West Arts District on banner and way-finding designs and colors. There will be new landscaping and lighting designs implemented as well. Marino said there will soon be a community vision center built in the plaza that will provide information to those interested, not only about available space, but also about the Colfax Corridor and arts district. “We are able to look at the corridor and help catalyze things and the city plays a big role,” said Carrie Mesch, chair of the WCCA board, said. “We need to be an advocate of the community and ambassadors of the corridor by talking this project up.” Yockey said there has been a lot of interest in available space, from a grocery store to restaurant, and this is just the beginning. The mood about the announcements was best expressed by a resident who, when Yockey was taking questions, said simply, “Thank you.”

Charter school in the wings By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Increasing innovative educational opportunities aim to 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 entrepre-

neurship 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 of difference that person can make with their job.” 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 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 more information, visit www. alexandriak12.org/.

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 assessing. 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

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 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 nonrequired 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.

Superintendent goals Jeffco Superintendent, Dan McMinimee presented his performance goals based off of the board’s ends goals. During the presentation the board discussed where these goals should be based off the current state of the district, student achievement levels, and what would be necessary in the future. The board stated a wish to see more components in terms of the district’s achievement goals, such as the increase in the third grade reading level, the Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP), as well as looking at the quality of the education, staff morale. Members of the board suggested using a performance rubric, in a one to four scale, to evaluate the superintendent. Witt suggested splitting the performance component to be based half on student achievement and half on achieving the board’s goals. The board suggested McMinimee fine tune a few of the goals, recognize the rubric scale and the breakdown of the compensation component and bring forth the updates at the Nov. 6 regular business meeting. The next Jefferson County Board of Education meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m., Nov. 6, at the Jefferson County Education Center, 1829 Denver West Dr., Golden. — Compiled by Crystal Anderson

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-

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.

Ralston Valley knocks off Pomona in thriller Mustangs could be ranked No. 1 with huge rivalry win By Daniel Williams dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com AURORA - Ralston Valley has officially reclaimed its position as the best football team in Arvada — with no disrespect to Faith Christian. But the Mustangs were able to hang on and beat Pomona 22-15 Friday at North Area Athletic Complex. Ralston Valley got a near perfect perfor-

mance from its 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. 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 over-

time. 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.

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

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com 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 vic-

tory. “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).

Roundtable discusses action on construction defects

October 23, 2014

Services Accounting/ Bookkeeping

Jefferson, Adams county mayors show support during roundtable event By Crystal Anderson

canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com 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 threepronged 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. Atchison, 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?”

Senate candidates target Ebola response By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The government’s response to the Ebola virus became a new focal point in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race last week. During an Oct. 15 debate in Denver, Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and his Republican challenger, Congressman Cory Gardner, sparred over the effectiveness of the response to the virus by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Gardner called for an immediate travel ban to and from West Africa, where the current Ebola outbreak resides. “Not tomorrow, but now,” Gardner said at the KUSATV-sponsored debate. But Udall said that decision should come from doctors and other health professionals who know more about the virus than politicians. “If they believe we ought to close our borders and restrict flights to and 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 scolded 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.
