Brewing new beginnings

By Cassie Monroe

cmonroe@ourcoloradonews.com Rick Abitbol has two great passions — music and beer.

He has been active in both ventures since the mid-1990s, after a gig with his band in Lone Tree when the band mates were led through a brewery’s grain room to the stage on which they would perform.

Technically it was Abitbol’s wife, Jaqua, who discovered what would later become a distinguishing factor in their brews. As she waited for him backstage, in the grain room, she tasted a few pieces of grain from a torn bag.

“I was surprised to find they were sweet,” Jaqua said. “So, I said, ‘Rick you’ve got to try this.’”

Rick Abitbol hopes to combine music and beer with the opening of his own brewery, Rickoli’s Brewery, 4335 Wadsworth Blvd. in Wheat Ridge.

“I want to bring those experiences together in this place,” Rick said. “I want to bring out the rock star in everyone.”

The projected opening will be in mid-November, but no date has been set yet. Abitbol said he hopes POSTAL ADDRESS

to have eight of his original creations ready by then.

What sets the Abitbol’s brews apart from others is the hoppycitrusy-fruity taste that only comes from taking advantage of the hops at an early stage in growth, Abitbol said. He explained a lot of beer with high hop content have a bitter taste, but not their brews.

Both Abitbols have worked with several master brewers to develop their expertise. After placing well at a few competitions they got their first professional brewing work at the Shamrock Pub in Pueblo, to Golden City in Golden, until Rick landed a job at Rock Bottom in Lone Tree — the same place where his band had performed years before when Jaqua found some tasty grain to snack on.

Colorado Plus

Colorado Plus Liquid Art Works co-owners, Jesse Duplessis and Eugene Khang, love Colorado craft beers so much it will be the only thing on tap at their brewpub.

But with 56 taps customers may have a hard time growing tired of the local brews.

Of those, four beers will be cre-

ated in their brew pub, which is at the old Valente’s restaurant, 6995 W. 38th Ave., Wheat Ridge. Adam Draeger, who is the head brewer at Yak and Yetti in Arvada, will also be the brewer at Colorado Plus. Khang is the former owner of Vern’s Liquors, 44th and Wadsworth, Wheat Ridge. His liquor store was known to have a great craft beer selection and he plans to bring his expertise in the subject to the Wheat Ridge community.

Khang’s interest in craft beers began to grow in 2004. He said one of his favorite things about brew pubs in Colorado is their ability to sell local brews without having to go through a corporate office.

“That really keeps it local,” he explained.

Draeger said his brews will have some stiff competition once matched up against the great Colorado stock the pub will carry.

“We will have the most Colorado beers on tap in one place in the world,” he said.

Draeger said he is looking to develop a niche for his beers to fall into that aren’t already heavily represented in the Colorado craft beer market. His plan is to rotate his brew with two new beers every week, starting with a Belgian-style ale. He will also create many with higher alcohol content and some sours.

Colorado Plus will have a 20foot bar downstairs, a second bar upstairs, and a rentable banquet room upstairs. They are planning to open in January and will partner with Right Coast Pizza, across the street, for customers to eat will enjoying their Colorado original beer.

It was the last face-toface match between the two candidates for the 2nd district seat of the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners, establishing their policy differences on audits, the beltway and the budget.

Appointed incumbent John Odom and challenger Casey Tighe spoke before the Arvada Chamber of Commerce’s Friday morning candidate forum.

Incumbent Republican Faye Griffin from District 1, who is running unopposed this election, also attended the forum and gave a short speech.

Democratic Tighe spoke first. The retired CDOT audit director laid out his resume, which includes a bachelor’s degree from the University of Colorado, and a law degree from Creighton University in Nebraska.

From 2007 to 2011 Tighe served as the chair of the Jeffco Audit Committee.

“Unfortunately, last year the audit committee was dissolved by the current board of county supervisors. I think that was a mistake, and I want to bring the committee back,” Tighe said.

Odom, a Republican, touted the current BCC for “keeping our fiscal house in order,” pointing to the county’s strong credit rating, and clean audit reports.

He was appointed to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) in 2011 when Commissioner Kevin McCaskey stepped down.

The small business owner has a bachelor’s degree in Chinese from Metro State, and an MBA from Thunderbird School of Global Management.

“It’s been an interesting almost two years, and I

look forward to continuing in that role,” Odom said.

The biggest policy difference between the candidates was revealed by the forum’s first question, asking if they supported the Jefferson Parkway project.

“I am unabashedly in favor of finishing not just the Jeffco parkway, but the entire beltway,” Odom said, adding that though part of the project is tied up on a lawsuit, he expected progress to be made on the issue before the end of the year.

Tighe said he agreed with the need for the beltway, but was critical of how the current BCC had handled it, particularly in supporting a piece of legislation, the Beltway Economic Enhancement Project.

“The problem with that law was it was taking away local decision-making, creating another level of bureaucracy in an effort to complete the beltway,” Tighe said. He said the county should work to bring opposition communities like Golden and Superior back to the negotiation table.

Both candidates were asked if they would support modifying or abolishing Jeffco’s Business Personal Property Tax. Tighe said he would like to, perhaps by using audit practices to find additional savings in county operations that could be used to offset the lost revenue.

Odom said he would favor lowering the tax, and would be happy to use a new state law that would allow the BCC to offer business tax waivers to help attract and keep businesses in the county.

A modest proposal: The Jessica initiative My wife and I have had several very dark conversations over the past few days.

Mostly, they go something like this: “Well, what do they do when you can’t get to school right at the last bell?”

“They go and play on the playground with some friends for about 10 minutes until I get there.”

“Are there teachers out there?”

“No — it’s after school, and they’ve got other duties.”

“Well, who watches them?”

“Nobody — they’re on a playground for a few minutes.”

At which point we spend the next hour trying to figure out how to rearrange our schedules so that our young children don’t ever have a minute out in public where they are not covered by a responsible pair of eyes.

I hate this. I hate this feeling, I hate this fear, I hate the constant state of heightened vigilance.

And I especially hate that all of this comes at the expense of our children having the opportunity to experience the world without a protection umbrella around them.

But that’s what the abduction and murder of Jessica Ridgeway has done to us.

Jessica Ridgeway left in the morning for a short walk — a few blocks — that she had negotiated on her own hundreds of times.

Somewhere in that short trip she was taken.

One adult on the street, one parent seeing their own child to the end of the block, one retiree tending their rose bushes, one young couple jogging around the block could have made all the world of difference.

And it’s not that anyone is to blame, except for one evil, twisted man. But we

can do better.

I want kids to feel safe walking to school through my neighborhood.

I want my kids to feel safe playing on our block with the other kids; I want my kids to know that if something bad starts, they can run to the nearest house and get the help they need; I want all the kids on the block to know that if something bad starts, they can run to my door and get the help they need.

And it all starts with a stronger community.

Evil of the sort that struck out at Jessica Ridgeway thrives in a vacuum, and all of us spending all our energies on work and carpool and our cyber-communities have left a huge hole where our neighborhoods should be.

I’m guilty of it, too — to be honest, I probably spend more time on Facebook every day than I do in my own front yard.

Well, that needs to end.

I am proposing today a new idea, borrowing from local churches: The Jessica Initiative.

It’s really a fairly simple thing. First, meet everybody on your block and within a stone’s throw of your house. Have a block party or a barbecue.

Initiate some event to get to know everybody. Make sure to introduce the kids.

In fact, we have this wonderful holiday coming up that’s great fun for the kids, and a real opportunity — how about a Halloween party or community potluck?

Something.

Build the ties that bind a neighborhood together so we all have a stock in the safety of each other.

Step Two: Learn when the local schools let out or have bus drop-off on your block, and then make a concerted effort to be out in front of your house for 15 minutes.

Walk the dog, water the flowers. That’s all. Don’t you think our kids would be better off walking a path that is lined with friends and protectors? And it’s just 15 minutes out of your day.

Step Three: establish who has necessary skills on the block. Who’s a nurse or doctor or EMT.?

Is there a law enforcement or military

presence in the neighborhood? If the kids need help, where should they run to first for what kind of help?

And give everybody on the block the purple ribbons that some schools have started distributing. Let the world know that you’re watching.

That’s it.

No federal program, no mountain of paperwork.

Just neighbors rediscovering the art of neighboring. For our kids’ sake.

Michael Alcorn is a music teacher and fitness instructor who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. He graduated from Alameda High School and the University of Colorado-Boulder.

Abduction attempt, Ridgeway murder linked

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com As the Jessica Ridgeway investigation continues, Westminster police announced Monday they have found a direct link between an attempted abduction and the murder of the 10-year-old Westminster girl.

Police did not say whether it was the same person in both unsolved cases. Investigator Trevor Materasso said police are not releasing information at this time specifically as to how the cases are linked.

A woman was running around Ketner Lake in Westminster on May 28 when a man grabbed her from behind and tried to put a rag over her mouth.

The victim was able to break free and call 911. Police and a K9 unit were unable to locate a suspect.

Ridgeway was last seen by her mother around 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 5 walking down the driveway of her home on West 107th Avenue and Moore Street.

Her body was found days later in the Pattridge Park Open Space area in Arvada.

“Westminster police and assisting law

enforcement agencies have been unable to associate any vehicle in either of these incidents,” Materasso said. “Several metro area law enforcement jurisdictions are working other cases of attempted abductions and various vehicle or suspect descriptions have been provided. In regards to Westminster’s cases, we only have the description of the man who attempted the abduction in May.” The suspect from the attempted abduction at Ketner Lake is described as a light-skinned male, age 18-30, brown hair, medium build with a height around 5-feet-7-inches tall.

Materasso said police are working with FBI Behavior Analysis Unit to remind people to report any changes in behaviors they have seen from people they know in the community.

“We are specifically looking for these behavior changes on Oct. 5, 2012, and days after Jessica’s disappearance and the Memorial Day weekend,” Materasso said.

On Oct. 19 police also found a wooden cross during the investigation, and officials consider this discovery as a pivotal piece of evidence that could help them identify and locate Ridgeway’s killer.

Police are asking people to look at the photo of the cross to see if anyone has any information on the cross.

The wooden cross is about 1-and-ahalf inches tall by 1-inch wide.

The cross has a hole drilled through the upper part and appears that it can be or was worn on a necklace.

On one side of the cross are three vertical bars etched onto the shorter horizontal section and a zigzag pattern is carved onto the opposite side.

The cross appears to be a solid piece of wood and the upper post portion is offset from the lower post below the short horizontal section.

“We are looking for someone who may carry or wear this type of cross and may have recently purchased one of these or is known to have any association with one,” Materasso said. “Police believe there may be a connection between the Jessica Ridgeway murder and the attempted abduction at Ketner Lake, and urge the public to specifically look for someone with a cross like this that matches the suspect’s description from Ketner Lake.”

Tips can be given to the Westminster Police Department tip center by calling

Westminster police are asking the public if they have any information on a cross of this kind, or if they know anyone who may wear a cross of this kind. It was found during the investigation of the Jessica Ridgeway’s murder. Photo provided 303-658-4336 or by sending an email to PDamberalert@cityofwestminster.us.

Community remembers Jessica Faith Bible holds celebration of life for 10-year-old

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com Jessica Ridgeway is remembered by her family as the light of the room, always smiling and bringing smiles to others.

She had a love for animals, music and dancing and her silly personality always kept her friends and family on their toes.

The 10-year-old girl’s life was taken too soon after she was abducted on Oct. 5 and killed.

Her family, friends and hundreds of people from the community came together on Oct. 16 to celebrate her life at Faith Bible Church in Arvada. Stories were shared and tears were shed.

“Above all, Jessica loved people and she loved animals. Her family describes her as the most joyful part of the room,” said Pastor Rick Long, from Grace Church of Arvada, who led the ceremony. “She loved Disney and cared for everyone around her. She also loved

holidays and would always get excited to decorate.”

Jessica was born on Jan. 23, 2002.

She attended Witt Elementary School in Westminster and she lived with her mom, Sarah Ridgeway.

One of her favorite activities was watching her cousins play softball. Every weekend in the summer Jessica would cheer for her cousins and spend time with her friend, Beverly Sternberg.

“We would sit together and watch her cousins play softball,” Sternberg said.

“She was one of the happiest little girls I have ever known. She was always doing silly things. It was easy to see how cherished and loved our little baby girl was.”

As the search for a suspect continues, hundreds of law enforcement personnel are working around the clock on thousands of leads. During the ceremony, Westminster Police Chief Lee Birk gave his word that the department will not stop until justice is found for Jessica.

“As I stand in front of you, I represent hundreds of officers who are working on this case,” he said. “We feel like we knew Jessica, and it feels like we have lost part

The ceremony also featured a video

cmonroe@ourcoloradonews.com Ten Jeffco public school students sat in the front two rows in the large conference room.

Nearly 100 people settled into their seats waiting for Jim Panzer, district transition coordinator, to introduce the students and their mentors, who hold various jobs in Colorado government departments.

The students are part of a high school transition program through Project Search, a national organization that places disabled students in workplace settings to allow them to explore various careers and put their training skills to work.

Project Search was first implemented in Jefferson County in April 2012 and students started their in-

ternships on Aug. 20.

“The eight weeks since then have been a blur,” Panzer said.

Duriye Powell, from the Department of Reclamation, organized the event celebrating the first class of interns for completing their first of three job rotations. To celebrate they held a grand opening ceremony for Project Search in Jefferson County at the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood on Oct. 17.

“The beauty of Project Search is the collaboration between the groups,” Panzer said.

After Panzer introduced the program and explained how it would benefit students in Jefferson County, it was time for the student interns to speak.

The students introduced their mentors to the audience.

Many tears were shed as mentors expressed

COUNTY NEWS IN A HURRY Jeffco budget meetings planned

Jefferson County’s Board of County Commissioners has begun public hearings to discuss the 2013 county budget. The county commissioners will approve the final version of the budget on Dec. 4. The staff-drafted proposed budget is available at jeffco. us/budget.

Several 2013 budget public hearing dates have already been scheduled, all to be held in the BCC board room. The meetings are 1-3:15 p.m. today, 9-10:30 a.m. Thursday, 2-4:45 p.m. Monday and 9-11:45 a.m. Wednesday.

Voting in full swing

More than 260,000 registered Jeffco voters (80 percent of total voters) will receive mail-in election ballots in the next several days, according to Jefferson County clerk and recorder Pam Anderson. Ballots should have been delivered by the United States Postal Service last week.

“We continue to see a high demand from voters who want to have a paper ballot delivered to them by mail,” said Anderson.

Voters can apply for a mail-in ballot to be delivered to their home until Oct. 30. Only one first-class stamp is needed to return the ballots by mail. Voters may also drop off a mail ballot at one of several drop-off locations: At the county administrative building, in the clerk and recorder’s office (1000 Jefferson County Parkway), Election Division headquarters (250 Illinois St., Golden), or one of Jeffco’s motor vehicle division offices.

Voters eager to cast their ballots may also take advantage of early voting through Nov. 2. Early voting can be done at the Jeffco administrative building, the county DMV locations as well as at the Stanley Lake, Belmar, and Columbine libraries.

Attempted abduction

Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department has reported an attempted abduction of a child on Oct. 15.

Between 7:30 to 8 p.m., a 14-year-old boy was walking home from a friend’s house in the 8200 block of W. Toller Ave. As he neared Falcon Bluffs Middle School he observed a dark blue or black sedan following him. The male that was driving the vehicle stopped the car and yelled, “Hey”, to the juvenile. Frightened, the juvenile began to run toward his home at Holland and Chatfield. The juvenile reported that the adult male ran after him and caught him a short distance later. He grabbed his arm and began to pull the juvenile toward the car. As the juvenile felt the suspect’s grip loosen he pulled away and was able to run to his home.

The suspect is described as a white male, 35-40 years old, about 200 pounds with medium salt and pepper hair. The vehicle was described as a dark blue or black sedan.

If anyone has information about this case, they are asked to call the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office tip line at 303-271-5612.

Study to explore effects of exercise on depressed teens

By Cassie Monroe

cmonroe@ourcoloradonews.com A team of experts in the Denver metropolitan area are seeking teens displaying symptoms of depression to participate in a study.

The question researchers want to answer is if exercise can be used as a treatment for depression. According to Dr. Andrea Dunn, from Klein Buendel Inc. and leading the study, previous research has been done to study the effects of exercise on adults with depression, but this study is seeking to find similar positive results in adolescents.

The researchers are seeking a minimum of 10 sedentary adolescents, 12 to 21 years old, who have characteristics of depression to participate in the study. Some of the symptoms of depression include problems sleeping, change in appetite, low energy, low self-esteem or feelings of guilt, loss of pleasure or enjoyment, loss of interest in activities or recurring thoughts of suicide.

Dunn said if exercise is supposed to be thought of as medicine in this study there has to be a proper dose associated with using it for treatment.

“There should be a dose response relationship where you can get a certain amount of exercise and get an optimal result,” Dunn said.

According to Dunn, the recommended amount of exercise for adolescents is one hour per day.

The exercise will consist of walking or jogging under the supervision of a recreational therapist at a recreation facility three times per week. Eventually students will graduate down to meeting with the therapist one time per week near the end of the six weeks.

To find the right amount of exercise for participants in the study a recreational therapist will have a group of students exercise for 80 minutes per week and another group for 180 minutes per week. In this study the intensity of the exercise doesn’t matter as much as the amount of time that is spent being physically active.

According to Dunn, too much exercise has been shown to have negative effects on an individual’s mental health. Athletes who are constantly conditioning can start displaying signs of depression from exercising too much.

Dr. Donald Bechtold, with the Jefferson Center for Mental Health who will study the students progress through the six-week program, said the researchers are hoping to find an effective alternative treatment for depression.

“Collectively we see lots of kids who have depressive symptoms,” Bechtold said. “We’re always happy if we can help them feel better without meds.”

For more information about the study visit www.DOSEforTeens.org. Those interested in participating should contact Luis Parra, Klein Buendel project manager, at info@DOSEforTeens.org or 303-565-4321 ext. 3673.

Community corrections building may have a buyer

By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com A redevelopment group, looking to recreate a block of Lakewood, took a tentative bite last week at purchasing Jefferson County’s New York Building.

The New York Building, 1651 Kendal St., currently houses the county’s community correction facility, which helps reintegrate felons into society, through counseling and monitoring.

The Colorado Investment and Development Company LLP made the offer to buy the building for $5 million. That

amount was set to cover $2.77 million for the property, and an additional $2.23 million to help the county purchase or build a replacement community corrections facility.

The buyer will have 270 days to do due diligence, examining the building and exploring redevelopment options. Part of that time will likely include cataloging an estimated $3 million to $5 million in repairs needed to make sections of the New York Building habitable again.

“At the same time, that gives us the opportunity to look for a new (community corrections) facility,” said County Admin-

istrator Ralph Schell.

Final sale is contingent on the buyer being satisfied that redevelopment plans will be feasible, and that the county can find a suitable replacement facility.

Jeffco had previously planned on spending more than $9 million on constructing a new Community Corrections facility next to the existing County Sheriff’s jail facility, before rising cost estimates led the county commissioners to look elsewhere. Schell said he remained optimistic that a replacement site could be found within the due diligence period.

The New York Building is situated

across the street from the Rocky Mountain School of Art and Design, and is considered an important part of the “40 West Arts District” redevelopment effort. A spokesman for the development company said the preliminary plan would be to convert the New York Building into studio and classroom space for the art school, and several of the surrounding buildings into student housing.

The 3/50 Project to strengthen our local economy The holiday season is just around the corner and for many of us that means we are gearing up for holiday shopping! Odds are you and many others will be looking to fill stockings and find the perfect gifts for loved ones.

I have a simple request for all of you holiday shoppers – think 3/50! The 3/50 Project simply asks you to patronize three independent businesses each month and spend a total of $50. About two years ago, former business owner, Cinda Baxter published a blog, “Save the Economy Three Stores at a Time,” encouraging consumers to support local brick and Brian Willms, mortar businesses with the straightforward approach of pick President/CEO three stores, spend $50.

It’s quite simple: pick three local, independent, brickand-mortar businesses and spend $50 among them each month. In doing so, you can positively influence our local economy. How? A 2008 study by research firm Civic Economics estimated that for every $100 spent in independently-owned stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenses. Whereas the same $100 spent in a national chain would return only $43 to the community.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a strong believer and supporter in free enterprise economics; businesses operating competitively governed by supply and demand.

I, like many of you, shop Wal-Mart for a variety of reasons and I plan to continue my patronage of their store. Successful communities have residents and visitors who understand and appreciate the balance of big box stores and independentlyowned businesses and stores. Big box stores and franchise businesses play an important role in our community. They are vital to supplying jobs and income to be spent in our economy. Conversely, I’m a big fan of the locally-owned, independent businesses that provide something the chain stores don’t offer. For example, I shop The Market Place in Belmar and I find it to be a great supplier for those unique gifts I can’t find in the big box stores. I also like to get top-notch unique ground coffee for my brother-in-law from the Village Roaster on Garrison just north of Alameda.

The 3/50 Project is a simple way to keep more of that income circulating in our local economy by picking three locally-owned small businesses and spending $50 among them. This isn’t an “all or nothing” proposal that insists you shop locally only, or you stop shopping at chains and big box stores. The 3/50 Project is a balanced approach to strengthening the local economy by simply patronizing three independent businesses each month.

According to Baxter, if half of the employed population spent $50 each month in locally-owned businesses, $42.6 billion in revenue would be generated. The Civic Economics study approximates that if 10 percent of the market shifts to local businesses more than $140 million would be generated in new economic activity, 1,600 new jobs and more than $50 million in new wages.

The goal is simple: funnel money back into our community… pick three local businesses, spend $50!

DeWild case set for trial

tBy Glenn Wallace Agwallace@ourcoloradonews.com o It was nearly a decade ago that Heather Jean oDeWild was killed, and her body dumped in a shal,low grave in Clear Creek Canyon. But in a couple sweeks, a suspect will finally stand trial.

DeWild’s estranged husband, Daniel Donald fDeWild, 39, will begin trial on charges of first-degree -murder on Nov. 5. e Daniel DeWild’s identical twin, David Norman sDeWild, has already pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit second-degree murder, and will likely be sentenced after the trial according to the district attorney’s office. The felony charge carries a mandatory 10-year prison term.

David DeWild’s wife, who was his live-in girlfriend back in 2003 when the murder is alleged to have occurred, was set free last week.

Prosecutors had charged Mary Roseanne DeWild with being an accessory to murder, and participating in a conspiracy to commit murder. She faced a maximum of nine years in prison.

“As the investigation proceeded we came to believe that we could not prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt,” said Jefferson County District Attorney spokesperson Pam Russell. She said that there would be no further statements made by the DA’s office about Mary DeWild’s case due to one codefendant awaiting sentencing, and another one on the verge of trial.

The DA’s office released a December 2011 indictment that charged all three suspects with first-degree murder, though the charges were later reduced for Mary DeWild. David Norman DeWild pleaded guilty to the lesser charges of conspiracy to commit second-degree murder.

Russell said the prosecution team for Daniel DeWild remained committed to going to trial.

According to court documents, in July 2003 Heather DeWild was only days away from finalizing her divorce from Daniel DeWild, when he lured her and their children, ages 3 and 5, to his Edgewater home under false pretenses.

On Sept. 4, 2003, a badly decomposed body, later identified as Heather DeWild was found buried along US Highway 6, wrapped in trash bags and duct tape.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

OUR VIEW

Support 3A, 3B for Jeffco schools Jeffco Public Schools planned for the economic downturn experienced the past few years. We watched as the district spent down the rainy day funds. We watched as it worked to preserve the experience in the classroom. Tough decisions were made — teachers were laid off, class sizes experienced some increases and a few school days were cut from the calendar in the balance among other impacts.

Without passage of Ballot Question 3A, the district expects to lay off about 600 more employees, mostly teachers and other staff members, such as librarians. The district reports a typical elementary school will lose two teachers and increase class size from about 27 to 31 students. The average middle school will also lose about two teachers. Most high schools will lose 7-8 teachers depending on the size of the high school.

Voters approved a $38.5 million mill levy increase and a $324 million bond issue in 2004, but said no to another request in 2008 for a $32 million mill levy increase and a $350 million bond. The continued belt tightening has been a good exercise to make the most out of taxpayers’ funds, but at this time we believe it makes sense to give the district a boost, especially in light of the state dollars per student dropping from $7,070 in 2009-10 to $6,309 in 201213, $761 per student.

The mill levy increase known as Ballot Question 3A will bring in $39 million to the district each year.

The funds are earmarked for the district’s day-today operations, education programs, maintenance, salaries and supplies, and will bring back two days of school. The cost of the ballot questions to homeowners is about $14.76 per year per $100,000 of assessed home value by the county.

The $99 million bond package, known as 3B, will support projects, such as buildings, repairs and renovations. We have observed the district as it prioritized and re-prioritized projects the past few years.

Decisions about closing under utilized schools — which is always emotional for the affected neighborhoods — and repairing and renovation where the most good can be achieved has been impressive and forthright. So we also support 3B to maintain Jeffco Schools infrastructure, keeping it sound, functional and comfortable for students.

We don’t like raising taxes, especially in this continuing uncertain climate, but we urge voters to approve these two measures — 3A and 3B — for the good of the community toward education of our students. We trust an infusion of funds will not only shape up the classroom experience in terms of teachers, class sizes and supporting structure, but we want to see it bring back the innovative tone and pride of excellence that has diminished somewhat as budgets were tightened the past few years. With a downturn in state funding, the challenge to make every dollar go far remains urgent, lets reward the district for its work the past few years, keep more teachers in the classroom and pass ballot questions 3A and 3B.

Without us, it is just an idea Oct. 11 this year was the first “International Day of the Girl.”

Two days before that, 14-year-old Malala Yousufzai was shot in the head in an assassination attempt by the Taliban.

And four days before that, 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway was abducted from her Westminster neighborhood, to be found murdered a week later.

Malala — who has inspired people around the world with her public stand against the Taliban’s ban on education for girls — is recovering in a hospital in Britain.

Jessica — who united a community in its search for her, and united a nation

in its support of her family — did not survive.

What happened to Malala and Jessica is in stark contrast to the ideals of the International Day of the Girl, adopted by the United Nations to recognize girls’ rights and to create awareness of the unique challenges girls face around the world.

Other organizations, in celebrating the International Day of the Girl, have said that, “When girls have the opportunity to be educated … society as a whole benefits.”

And both Malala and Jessica loved school. One, Jessica, was on her way to school when she disappeared.

The other, Malala, was on her way home from school when she was shot by assassins sent from the Pakistani Taliban.

Unfortunately, it is our horror and disbelief that connect the 10-year-old from a quiet and nurturing Denver suburb with the 14-year-old from a village in northwestern Pakistan.

Both beloved by their families, both innocents, both children.

Both targeted, in part, for their gender.

I believe that few of us would disagree that what happened to these girls is a travesty — a travesty against their youth, a travesty against their justice, a

travesty against their right to exist.

And I believe that these two violent acts are violence against us, as well.

When the world’s children are attacked, all of us are attacked — attacked to the very foundations of society.

Because anywhere girls are supported in reaching their potentials can be a society of secure futures for families and for communities, for nations and, by reasonable extension, the world.

For example, as we recognize “Women 2 Watch” in our own communities this week, it’s important to note that they credit mentors — at home, at school, in the workplace — with helping them achieve their goals.

These women, then, have become mentors themselves, supporting and encouraging school kids, teens, and young adults, as well as other women.

Others are also taking action, and backing the goals of the International Day of the Girl is a good start.

In Colorado, a program called “The Blossom Project” gathered proclamations from around the state to honor girls and hosted events to celebrate Oct. 11.

The Blossom Project uses education to inspire high school girls to create

visionary change, believing that young women play a critical role in the development of global civil society.

However, according to the National Women’s Law Center, 1 in 4 girls in America does not finish high school, and the Population Resource Bureau says that only 30 percent of girls worldwide are ever even enrolled in secondary school.

UNESCO — the United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization — reports also that, by 2015, females will make up 64 percent of the world’s adult population who cannot read.

The ideals of the International Day of the Girl to help galvanize worldwide enthusiasm to improve the lives of girls are just that — ideals — without the attention and action of people like you and me. Email me for ways to do this.

Malala Yousufzai, when she recovers, may get the chance to continue her education, to reach her potential, to play her role in the development of global civil society.

Jessica Ridgeway will not.

Doesn’t Jessica deserve our action, in her honor, to make sure that other young girls do?

October 25, 2012

YOUR VIEWS No on 3A, 3B I am writing this as a parent and concerned citizen, not as a Jeffco school board member. Many of you have asked why I am voting no on 3A and 3B. Here are the top three reasons I am voting no: We are experiencing a temporary economic downturn and don’t need a permanent tax increase to fix the short term funding dip.

As housing values increase the amount of money the school district receives will increase. And as the state economy gets better there will be more money for education.

In fact the September state economic forecast says $700 million additional dollars will be put in the K-12 fund over the next two years.

Jeffco receives approximately 9 percent of the K-12 fund or about $60 million of those additional dollars, which more than covers the proposed cuts. As the economy gets better education gets more money.

Next is the PERA (Public Employees Retirement Association) conversation.

The PERA contribution is estimated to rise over $22 million dollars in the next couple of years. While employee contributions remain at 8 percent, taxpayer contributions will increase from 15.65 percent to 20.15 percent.

The current general fund budget has taxpayers picking up all of those PERA increases but not allocating money to instrumental music, teacher librarians, or outdoor lab schools. Those priorities don’t seem to me to put students first.

3B will increase the debt load by $99,000,000 — it is permission to go into debt for on-going maintenance.

We shouldn’t be going into debt to pay for routine maintenance items. This money is not for science labs or new buildings. Paying for routine maintenance items with 20 years of debt is not a good plan.

The system needs fundamental structural change.

This does not fund a new pay structure. Not one penny will go to raise the amount we pay our newest teachers. Not one penny builds new science labs or adds options for our students.

Jeffco public schools have asked for just a little bit more every four to six years. What Jeffco needs is a bold new plan — not the status quo.

Our children deserve better; I will be voting no on 3A and 3B — and working for a bold new plan that puts our students first.

Laura Boggs Lakewood

Yes on 2A for Wheat Ridge Wheat Ridge voters will see Ballot Question 2A this year asking, “Shall the Home Rule Charter of the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado, be amended to provide for the election of all elected officials of the city by the greatest number of votes cast?”

I serve on the Wheat Ridge Election Commission,

and I’m asking all of Wheat Ridge to vote “yes” on this question.

If approved, this will change the city charter so that all elected officials, including the mayor, city clerk and city treasurer, will be chosen by who earns the most votes in the general election.

This is a practical thing to do.

It will save us money in the future that we might otherwise spend on very expensive runoffs, and our elections will be no less fair or inclusive.

What we’ll get is a slate of consistent races that give us the winners when all the votes are counted.

Participating in the county’s coordinated general election cost Wheat Ridge $7,500 in November last year. The follow-up runoff in December cost $37,000.

Given the chance to avoid extra cost without losing the quality of our elections, I am going to make the pragmatic choice and vote “yes” on Wheat Ridge Ballot Question 2A. Lloyd Levy Wheat Ridge

Vote no on Amendment 64

I am a pretty conservative guy, probably due in part to the fact that I was a police officer for 47 years, with the last 25 years being spent as the chief of police for the Westminster Police Department.

I’ve been around, and I certainly paid my dues as a young cop working narcotics and vice, and as an older cop, sitting on the governing boards of the North Metro Drug Task Force and the West Metro Drug Task Force.

I vigorously enforced marijuana laws for all 47 years of my public service, and I would do it today if I was still actively employed as a cop.

Constitutional Amendment 64 proposes the legalization of growing and possessing marijuana, but it would not impact those who have the legal and appropriate authorization to grow and use marijuana for medicinal purposes.

Moreover, even if the voters approve Amendment 64, which I sincerely hope they do not, marijuana growing and possession would still be a federal offense.

In addition to still being a federal offense, legalization of pot would result in more traffic accidents and fatalities, as well as an increase in crime.

Talk to most police officers and they will confirm this observation.

Take it to the bank.

We do not need more stoned drivers on the road, and we do not need more crime.

And we certainly do not need a law that would be in direct conflict with the federal law.

What’s next- — home-brew methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD, PCP or heroin? Where do we draw the line?

In my opinion, we need to draw the line right now and vote no on Amendment 64.

As Archie Bunker used to say, “This is pure crapola.”

DUI checkpoint in Wheat Ridge

By Cassie Monroe

cmonroe@ourcoloradonews.com Wheat Ridge police are encouraging residents to be safe this weekend.

Sgt. Tracy Wardell, Wheat Ridge Police Department, said the weekend before Halloween is a big weekend for parties, and with parties comes the increased liklihood of drunk driving incidents.

For that reason the Colorado Department of Transportation gave the department permission to set up a DUI checkpoint on Friday in an effort to protect residents from impaired drivers.

The operation will be held in association with “Checkpoint Colorado,” a statewide effort to decrease the number of intoxicated drivers on roadways.

“The whole idea is to not find anyone,” Wardell explained.

The average length of a traffic stop for a driver who is not suspected of being impaired will be about 15 to 20 seconds,

Wardell said.

Both lanes of traffic will be funneled into one way streets at the undisclosed location of the checkpoint. All drivers who pass through the checkpoint will be contacted in an effort to determine if they are under the influence.

“If we suspect they may be drinking or under the influence we escort them to the side of the road,” Wardell said. “And from there we treat it like a regular DUI.” Over the past three years there have been 578 DUI arrests in Wheat Ridge. In that same time there have been seven serious injury traffic crashes and five fatalities involving impaired driving.

According to a press releases from the department the goal of the police and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office DUI enforcement strategy is to keep the roadways safe and prevent injuries and death.

Law enforcement officials ask people to find a safe ride home if they will be drinking and to buckle up.

urning out is a real possibility when performers have to bring their A-game to a show night after night, and in a different city each week for months at a time.

But when you love what you do, you find ways to cope, said aerialist Mei Bouchard.

“You live with the people you work with and you work with the people you live with, so you have to maintain your connection with friends and family at home,” said Bouchard, who is from Orlando. She added it was also important to stay healthy while on the road.

Bouchard and the rest of the 52-person ensemble of Cirque du Soleil’s “Quidam” performs at 1stBANK Center, 11450 Broomfield Lane in Broomfield Nov. 7-11.

“You aren’t just entertained, you’re going to be taken into the piece,” said Fabrice Lemire, artistic director. “The story is why the piece is doing so well 16 years later. It’s a subject everybody can recognize.”

The story centers on Zoe, a little girl

IF YOU GO 11450 Broomfield Lane, Broomfield WHEN: Nov. 7-11 INFO: 1-877-544-8499, www.cirque dusoleil.com/quidam

whose parents are apathetic and ignore her. In order to escape her boring existence, Zoe slides into an imaginary world.

“But at the end she comes back home, because there’s nothing like home,” Lemire said.

The story weaves its way through juggling, trapeze, Spanish web, German wheel and rope-skipping acts.

What differentiates “Quidam” from other Cirque shows, Lemire said, is that “it’s extremely poetic. You have the wow factor (the acrobats, aerialists) but in the middle you have the support of the storyline.”

Bouchard added: “It’s something you don’t see every day. You get brought into another world.”

a year, and her acts include the Spanish web, rope skipping and the Rabbit.

The cast features acrobats, musicians, singers and characters from around the world.

“It’s a full-course meal,” Lemire said.

He said the show was his “baby,” and he couldn’t chose a favorite but the aerial acts had a “wow” factor for him.

“Every single aerial act for me I feel is magical and intense,” he said.

One of the aerial acts is done in large hoops, another is performed with a silk rope. Another act that Lemire said was quite stunning is the banquine, which is a performance with 15 artists doing acrobats and human pyramids.

He said that it takes more than just the large cast on stage to make “Quidam” come alive.

“We see the performers in the front, but there’s a support staff — technical staff, coaches — who really do as much as the performers,” he said.

“Quidam” has toured in five continents since its premiere in 1996. After its show in Broomfield, the cast will travel to the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland Nov. 14-18. The show will make another Colorado appearance Jan. 9-13 at the World Arena in Colorado Springs.

Tickets are available by calling 719520-7469 or 1-866-464-2626 or visiting www.cirquedusoleil.com/quidam.

I’m honored to be honored.

Sense of Security, a Colorado-based breast cancer charity that helps patients with non-medical expenses, has been a favorite charity of mine since I was diagnosed seven years ago.

In my own small way — with a ton of help from my friends — I have raised money for this unsung charity that lost some of its funding last year — a casualty of budget cuts.

On Saturday night, being given an award for my efforts during the annual Champagne and Diamonds fundraiser humbled me. The award reads: “With gratitude, Penny Parker. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to improve the quality of life for breast cancer patients.”

Yes, I’m a survivor, but there are so many of us in this sorority that we never wanted to join. As I write this, tears are running down my face. It seems that October — Breast Cancer Awareness Month — is the one time a year that my journey comes flooding back.

I was truly blessed to have such supportive people in my corner during that time — my darling husband, Greg Henry, and my BFF, Devany McNeill, who also accompanied me to the event.

I want to thank Rita McCoy, executive director of Sense of Security, Vicki Tosher, founder of the charity, and Regional Emmy Award winning doll face Chris Parente, co-host of FOX-31’s “Everyday,” who emceed.

I also want to give a shout-out to the Embassy Suites in downtown Denver, which blew me away with their banquet service of perfectly cooked beef tenderloin (like buttah), crisp asparagus and a potato dish. Amazing.

Thanks to all who deemed me worth of such an honor. If you’d like to contribute to such a deserving organization, go to www.senseofsecurity.org. Since its inception in 2000, Sense of Security has provided more than $1.4 million in financial assistance to more than 860 breast cancer patients in Colorado.

Think pink for charity

The 9th Door, the sexy tapas bar on Blake Street in LoDo, is donating proceeds from its Pink Coyote cocktail to Sense of Security during October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This could be the most fun you’ll ever have while donating to a worthy cause. See you there! For more information, go to www.senseofsecurity.org.

Historic Landmark status

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar designated Denver’s Civic Center as a National Historic Landmark on Wednesday, marking it as the City and County of Denver’s first NHL and one of two Civic Centers in the country to achieve this prestigious recognition, announced Historic Denver Inc., the Denver nonprofit that submitted the NHL nomination.

Celebrations to honor this historic moment will take place in Denver’s Civic Center in 2013.

While displaying ghosts and goblins is great for the kids and the standard for Halloween decor, how about getting into the spirit but with a bit more sophistication this year? If you are throwing a Halloween party for those adults who are kids at heart, a spooky holiday theme can still be part of the festivities, but with a touch of panache.

There are many directions you can go with a decoration theme. Certainly there are the colors of black and orange that can be integrated into the decor and the use of pumpkins or candles, which still scream Halloween but can be displayed elegantly.

Gary LaVasser, academic director in Set & Exhibit Design at The Art Institute of California - Hollywood, a campus of Argosy University, says that while everyone thinks of orange and black consider the combination of dark red and black. At Halloween, any time black is used it represents scariness and the dark red can be symbolic of blood. “For a more sophisticated look, combine dark red arrangements of roses, cover them in black hat veiling so that you see the roses through the veil and tie them together with black satin ribbon,” he suggests. “If you want to go a little further, place the arrangement on an inexpensive black placemat and drip dark red nail polish from a few rose petals onto the placemat. It will look like the roses are bleeding.”

LaVasser also has these tips for alternative but sophisticated Halloween decor: * Use vintage Halloween toys from the 1930s, 40s or 50s as part of the design.

If they are worn they have more character. Combine them with garlands of silk

fall leaves available at most craft stores, tree branches or wheat and place on mantels or dining tables. * Paint objects black that normally are not this color.

For example, jack-o-lanterns are orange so spray them black for a twist on a familiar item. Also consider painting real flowers black.

To make objects more interesting, select different black textures such as using matte, glitter, satin, gloss or metallic paints.

* The colors of fall are rich earth tones and these colors also associate with Halloween. Add a little “punch” by using a deep purple color. It can be an interesting contrast to oranges and gold tones. Also consider using metallic gold, copper and pewter colors. You can paint leaves or pumpkins with these shades as well.

LaVasser adds that one can look for inspiration among different cultures and how they celebrate

certain holidays or Halloween. A Latino tradition is Day of the Dead, observed on November 1st and 2nd, which celebrates family and friends who have passed.

“Day of the Dead decor includes folk art, candles, colorful flowers and bright ribbons together with skeletons,” says LaVasser. “This theme offers great options for Halloween.”

Roof may need check before winter Get inspection from licensed contractor, association says

By Tom Munds tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Cooler temperatures and early snows mean it’s time to make sure the roof can deal with what winter has to offer.

For homeowners concerned about the condition of their roofs, the Colorado Roofing Association has a number of recommendations, including advising that the first step is to hire a licensed roofing contractor to do an inspection.

Apex Roofing Consultants is a licensed roofing contractor located in Centennial, and owner Michael Dye said the company often gets calls from homeowners concerned about the condition of their roof.

“Seeing missing shingles, shingles on the ground or shingles that are still on the roof but with the edges turned up are signals the homeowner should call a professional roofing contractor to evaluate the roof, he said. “We frequently get those calls and when we do, we try to get out as quickly as possible to do an inspection. “ He said his company is aware of the state of the economy, “so, if we can do it safely, we will do minor repairs to restore the integrity of the roof so it is ready for winter weather.”

Apex Roofing has more than 25 years of roofing experience and is a licensed, bonded contractor that does work on residential and commercial roofs, Dye said. He said 95 percent of the company’s jobs come as referrals.

He also talked about roofers he called storm chasers.

“When we have some bad weather, we see the arrival of the storm chasers,” Dye said. “They come into the area and try to sign up as much business as possible as quickly possible. Typically, a storm chaser will go to a house and usually tell the owner their roof is damaged and needs to be repaired. We urge homeowners not to sign anything but to call a local, professional, licensed roofing contractor for a

Stock photo second opinion.”

He said professional contractors will provide an accurate assessment.

“Sometimes repairs are needed,” he said. “But sometimes we’ll do the second opinion inspection and tell the homeowner that we’d love to sell them a roof but there is nothing wrong with the roof on their home.”

Homeowners searching for a professional licensed roofing contractor can find tips at the Colorado Roofing Association’s website at www.coloradoroofing.com The association states its goal is to help people make informed decisions regarding having work done on the roof.

I was born in New England -Fitchburg, Massachusetts about fifty miles west of Boston.

How long have you lived in the area?

I have been in Colorado since July 1975. I love the climate, the scenery and everything Colorado. Golden is a special place and I have enjoyed serving on the Board of Directors of the: Jefferson Symphony Orchestra, Foothills Art Center, Golden Landmarks and Golden Chamber of Commerce.

How long have you worked in real estate?

I was licensed in January 1985 and inducted into the RE/ MAX Hall of Fame in 2002. Primarily I work in residential real estate and have sold properties in many different areas. I enjoy helping clients find the home and area that works best for them. On the selling side, my goal is to achieve the highest sale price possible, bearing in mind that there are many factors that go into the result. It is important to me to have satisfied clients and put their needs first. My real estate training and designations have played a significant role in my real estate business.

What is one tip for someone looking to sell a house?

Sellers need to realistically price their property. Consideration of the value the market will be bear is essential.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house?

Prequalify and know your price range. It could be that the payment you qualify for is higher than your comfort level. So, come up with a price range that allows you to do things that you enjoy.

I am a history buff and I especially enjoy tours, lectures and books relating to Colorado history. Addi-

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

Mostly, it has been our four legged friends. At the top of the stairs there was a gate leading to the deck where an unfriendly German Shepherd was waiting - did not show that property. I arrived at a property where some unfriendly dogs were looking out a picture window and ferociously barking - did not show that property. My take is that it is not worth endangering my clients or myself.

o, you want to build a redwood deck on the back of your home.

You contact Joe Contractor and he agrees to build it for $15,000.00. You pay him $5,000.00 down, make progress payments to him and pay the remaining amount at the time the project is finished. You love your deck.

Two weeks later, you receive a notice from ABC Lumber Company.

Joe Contractor did not bother paying for the 2x4s and other lumber which he used to build your deck, and the supplier now wants his $10,000.00 for the lumber. The supplier is threatening to place a mechanic’s lien on your property unless he is paid.

A mechanic’s lien is a tool used by contractors, workers and suppliers for payment for work that has been done on your property which improves it. You are obviously upset because you paid the full amount to Joe Contractor, and expected him to

pay his supplier, only he did not.

Well, Colorado law has protected you. In residential properties, as long as the contractor is paid, any lien placed upon your property by a subcontractor or supplier is invalid and any suit brought on that lien will be dismissed. Still, it is a nuisance and could take up to a year for a title company to remove the lien from your property.

If you own a commercial property, the Colorado statute discussed above does not apply. However, commer-

Also, the lien statement must be complete and accurate, and must be served on the owner of the property and the general contractor at least ten days before it is recorded in the office of the clerk and recorder of the county in which the property is located.

Failure to be accurate and to serve the right parties renders the lien invalid.

Timing is also important for the lien to be valid. It must be recorded no later than four months from the time the last substantial work is done on the property, if labor and materials are involved. If the lien is for labor only, then it must be filed no more than two months from the time the project is completed. Finally, the lien expires unless suit is brought on the lien no later than six months after the lien is recorded.

So whether you are a property owner concerned that liens could be placed against your property and result in a lawsuit, or a contractor, subcontractor or supplier who wants to get paid for the work he or she has done to improve your property, there are many rules and traps in the mechanic’s lien statute. There is little room for errors. We strongly recommend that you consult a competent real estate attorney if you find yourself on wrong end of this problem, whether you want the lien perfected, or you don’t want it on your property.

cial landowners are also protected thanks to the so-called “trust fund” statute. That law states that that contractor holds any money paid to a contractor in trust for the specific purpose of paying all of his subcontractors and suppliers for that particular job. If he uses the money for other purposes, he commits theft and could face criminal charges. A letter to the non-paying contractor pointing out that he is in violation of the trust fund statute usually brings results.

Another glitch in the lien process is when you are the property owner, and your tenant tries to make improvements without your permission, leaving you holding the bag for the $15,000.00 redwood deck. In such cases, in order to avoid a lien on your property, you must post a notice of non-liability on the site of the property in a conspicuous place within five days after you have learned what your tenant has done and the work has started.

The claimant, of course, has rights as well whether it is the primary contractor, subcontractor, or supplier.

However, he must be careful not to overstate the lien amount. If he or she knowingly exaggerates the claim, he could lose the entire amount of the lien and pay the property owner’s attorney fees in addition.

Wheat Ridge softball falls in state semifinals Defending champion Farmers upended by Niwot, look towards future

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com AURORA - For almost any other girls’ softball team in the state a trip to the semifinals of the state tournament would be considered a great feat.

However, the Wheat Ridge softball program is not like any other team in the state. And their bid for back-to-back state titles came to an end Saturday against Niwot who beat the Farmers 1-0 at Aurora Sports Park.

Niwot senior Nickie Blue, who will attend South Carolina next year and who is widely considered the best pitcher in the state, puzzled a Farmers’ team that is one of the best hitting units in the state, striking out nine Wheat Ridge batters over seven innings of work.

“We left nine runners in scoring position and we just couldn’t come up with the big hit when we needed it most,” Wheat Ridge coach Marty Stricklett said.

“The whole game she kept us off balance.

You win some you lose some and they beat us 1-0.”

What makes the loss so tough for Wheat Ridge to swallow was the fact that the difference in the game was a throwing error by Wheat Ridge in the first inning that advanced Niwot junior Karina Hunt from first to second.

And even though Niwot had only two hits the entire game, Blue drove in Hunt with an RBI single which held up to be the game winning run.

“It sucks going out like this. We pithed just as well as they did, we got on base, we just couldn’t find a way to get the hit we needed,” Wheat Ridge senior Kayla Mathewson said.

Wheat Ridge left runners stranded in all of the last five innings of the game and three of those innings the Farmers had multiple runners on the base pads. But Blue, with the help of a perfect defensive performance from her teammates, would continually escape trouble and survived to beat the reigning champs.

Actually, Farmers ace junior Jessica Salbalo was Blue’s equal, and perhaps even outpitched her on Saturday, striking out seven and giving up only a pair of hits. But Salbato can now do nothing but look forward to getting better and coming back next season.

“We still had a great season all together,” Salbato said. “It took a little time to come together but once we did we started

playing really well. You gain things from losses sometimes and we need to come back stronger next year.”

Still, even though emotions ran high postgame Wheat Ridge seniors reflected on their journey that delivered two state championships and the Farmers program three state championships in a four year span.

“From day one when I got here I loved the Wheat Ridge softball program. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of girls to play with over all four years. I just sucks going out this way,” Wheat Ridge senior Morgan Wilkie said.

On their way to the final four Wheat Ridge beat Thompson Valley 6-1 and Pueblo South 18-6. Pueblo East went on to beat Niwot 4-2 in the state championship game.

But try not to feel too bad for the Farmers. Their ace Salbato is a junior who will return next year. Their best bat is a sophomore Analece Apodaca. And they have a pair of freshman who project to be a

couple of the better 4A players in the state over the next few years.

“Now we have to just start over and look towards next season. We will have a really good team next year and we have to get back and win it next year,” Apodaca said.

In other 4A state softball news: D’Evelyn fell to eventual state champion Pueblo East 8-0 in their first round game Friday at Aurora Sports Park.

Despite their under .500 overall record D’Evelyn finished second in 4A Jefferson County standings with an impressive 6-1 league record.

The Jaguars started the season 2-5 after losing five straight games but turned their season around with the marvelous hitting of freshman Kelsey Marvel who it .306 and drove in 21 runs, and junior Alison Heitsman who hit .315 on the season and scored 16 runs.

D’Evelyn will lose only two seniors and has a very young, very strong team coming back in 2013.

Quick start paces Mustangs past A-West Can wrap up league title with win over Legacy

By Craig Harper sports@ourcoloradonews.com

e

ARVADA — How do you avoid a letdown against an d inferior rival after knocking off another rival and the a state’s top-ranked team the week before? e For third-ranked Ralston Valley, two big plays on ofa fense to start the game followed by two Arvada West turnovers sparked a 48-7 victory last Friday night at the North Area Athletic Complex that left the Mustangs one win away from the 5A North Metro League d championship.

A letdown seemed possible, considering Ralston d Valley was coming off a 30-22 win over Pomona and n now had to face a its other intra-city Arvada rival - a 1 young A-West team with a 2-5 record.

But, “Our guys know who it is,’’ said Mustangs d coach Matt Loyd. “We don’t talk about opponents that s much. But (the players) aren’t dumb; they know who t we’re playing. And records really don’t mean anything - when you’re playing a school that’s a couple of miles n away. So we had to come ready to go.’’

“It was a big win last week, but we knew we had to d move on,’’ added quarterback Jacob Knipp. “We had a pretty focused week but came out a little bit slow in the first half. But we really came together in the second half.’’

A-West might disagree with Knipp’s assessment of the start of the game.

John Morales broke a 52-yard run on Ralston Valley’s second play from scrimmage, setting up the first of three touchdown runs by Carlos Gonzales.

On the first play of the next possession, Knipp hit Hunter Price on a 91-yard scoring bomb for a 14-0 lead just over six minutes into the first quarter.

Two Wildcat fumbles by running back Claude Neloms - one on a pitchout from the A-West 27-yard line leading to another Gonzales TD, the other on a handoff from quarterback Allen Martin at the Mustangs’ 1 - made it 20-0 instead of a possible Wildcats lead.

A-West cut the deficit to 20-7 by marching 61 yards behind the running of Neloms (92 yards on 15 carries), but the Mustangs drove 80 and 42 yards for TDs on their first two possessions of the second half.

The Wildcats then turned the ball over inside the Mustang 20 on a Martin interception off a tipped pass.

“You just can’t make mistakes against good teams,’’ said A-West coach Greg Whisler. “They make you pay, and Ralston Valley made us pay. They took advantage of their opportunities and we didn’t take advantage of ours.’’

A big difference in the game was the passing of Knipp. The junior hit 14 of his first 17 passes to five different receivers and finished with 213 yards and two touchdowns (also a 14-yarder to Morales). Martin was 5-of-12 for 65 yards and the Wildcats netted 81 yards passing.

“He throws it pretty well and we’re obviously going to keep working on that,’’ Loyd said. “Hopefully we can make progress every week.’’

The return of Gonzales, who had not played since suffering a foot injury in the second game, helped offset the limited availability of leading rusher Andrew Wingard, who was under the weather.

Gonzales rushed 10 times for 62 yards, and Morales led the way with 104 yards on five carries. Morales had a 32-yard run on the opening drive of the second half to go with his 52-yarder.

Ralston Valley, which has won five straight since a 29-25 loss to top-ranked ThunderRidge, closes the regular season Thursday against Legacy. “We want to complete the league championship,’’ Loyd said. “Legacy’s always a well-prepared team for us. Hopefully we can take care of business, but I know that team’s going to bring it and try to go for the upset.’’

Now it’s A-West’s turn for the back-to-back, intra-

city rivals test as the Wildcats face Pomona on Friday.

“Our season hasn’t gone the way we wanted it to go,’’ Whisler said. “But we knew we were in games and we knew we were a better team than our record shows.

But your record is what your record is.’’

“I feel like we fight every game,’’ said Martin, who hurt his shoulder early in the fourth quarter and gave way briefly to Marcus Culhane, last year’s starter.

“We’ve just got to keep working hard. And it doesn’t help that we’re a young team. But we’ve got one more year together and we’re all going to work hard to figure it out.’’

Shorthanded Faith Christian softball falls at state Eagles enjoy solid season but left wondering ‘what if?’

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com AURORA - `Fair’ and `unfair’ are two of the dirtiest words in sports but not as dirty as the words that got Faith Christian senior Keely Gray suspended for her team’s state playoff game.

The scoreboard said Faith Christian fell to La Junta 11-0 in the first round of the 3A state tournament Friday at Aurora Sports Park. But that doesn’t tell the real story.

During Faith Christian’s final regional game against Akron, Gray, the team’s ace, used two words that we cannot print in the newspaper after a controversial call made by an umpire.

The umpire heard Gray cuss under her breath while walking back to the mound and immediately ejected her from the game. However, per CHSAA rules, Gray was also forced to sit out one additional game, which happened to be her state playoff game against La Junta.

“As a player from Faith Christian we are held to a higher standard,” Gray said.

“I made the mistake, it is 100 percent my fault. It’s a hard lesson and I am still trying to figure out why this had to happen but I take full responsibility.”

Gray, Faith Christian coach Mike Pickett as well as school’s athletic director appealed the suspension to CHSAA, but the suspension was not lifted.

“Usually in high school sports you get a warning before you get kicked out and suspended,” Pickett said. “But they didn’t lift the suspension. Still, our girls went out and fought against La Junta and I am

proud of the season we had.”

Without Gray, who won 13 games for Faith Christian this season, as well as junior cleanup hitter Michaela Hegarty, who broke her foot in a regional game, the shorthanded Eagles took the field against La Junta with their odds stacked.

La Junta would go on to score five first inning runs and then four more runs in the fifth inning ending Faith Christian’s season and leaving many to wonder what could have happened if the Eagles had their entire cast.

“We lost our two best players in three days. Sometimes things aren’t fair but we still had to go out there and play and the rest of our team is pretty good too. We just weren’t good enough today,” Pickett said.

Pickett has taken a 6-14 team in 2010 to back-to-back appearances in the state tournament. Part of Pickett’s rebuilding

plan has been scheduling 4A and even some 5A opponents. That toughening up of his team helped guide Faith Christian to a 14-7 overall record and a 5-1 league record which gave them a second place finish in 3A District 1.

“Of course we didn’t want to go out the way we did but we still had a great season,” Faith Christian senior Andie Queen said. “We think if we had our whole team we could have won but that’s not how things worked out.”

Despite the ugly way their season ended the Eagles have beautifully handled the way their season came to an end - even though they will always wonder what if.

“I think we could have had a shot to win the whole thing,” Gray said. “It wouldn’t have been easy but we had that kind of talent. But I guess we will never know.”

Jankowski takes second at league meet Elizabeth’s Goldsberry wins individual honors; Gators capture team title

By Scott Stocker

sports@ourcoloradonews.com LAKEWOOD — There were no individual championships for Standley Lake in last Saturday’s Jefferson County League gymnastics meet at Bear Creek High School. But Gators coach Kristen Larington was more than pleased with the way her team responded.

And why shouldn’t she be? After all, Standley Lake, led by Zoie Hoben, Breanna Polson, Maddi York and Sara Bissani, was able to come away with the team championship. The Gators counted on overall depth to score 179.65 points to edge Elizabeth (178.9) and third-place Chatfield (177.75).

Danae Goldsberry of Elizabeth won the all-around in the 10-team meet scoring 37.125. She was able to edge Arvada West’s Jessica Jankowski (36.975) and Hoben (36.80) for the title. Bissani was seventh in the All-around (36.25).

“Obviously we hit on our events and had a great meet,” Larington said. “I think the kids did well with the pressure as it felt pretty intense. We just came in and hit and I’m excited and I couldn’t ask for more today. Zoie is my senior and she came in and had a great meet, hitting her best of the season. She was a girl who helped take us over the top. Now, we’ll have to see what happens in the region next week.”

Hoben placed second on floor behind Goldsberry scoring 9.625 to her opponents 9.65. Bissani placed second on vault, Polson was third on beam (9.4) and York placed fourth on floor (9.45) to round out the top finishers for the champions.

“The pressure was a hurdle for us to get over and I think our team did amazing, “ Hoben said. “It was so exciting. The key was to go out and have fun and my 9.6 on floor was my best of the season. We’ll be excited for region and I think we can do well. The competition is going to be strong, but I think we’ll be ready. This was

Photo by Kevan Sheppard just a good day for all of us.”

Goldsberry was strong on all events except vault where she failed to place among the top seven.

“Definitely it was not as good as I hoped on vault for me, nothing like I can usually do,” Goldsberry said. “But I felt good on floor, a bit better than I expected, as well as Beam and Bars. It would have been nice to win as a team, but we did have a good effort.

“For the regions, we have to learn how to keep the pressure off,” Goldsberry added. “The big meets have been tougher. We have to be able to help each other and focus so we can hit our full potential. I don’t think we have all season and it would be nice to put it all together for region and state.”

Arvada West finished fourth in the final standings with a score of 174.925 and now the Wildcats of coach Lori Wyss are looking forward to this weeks region meet.

“As a team we are starting to put things together and we want to remain strong mentally,” said Jankowski, who finished

second on beam (9.425) and fifth on both the bars (9.050) and vault (9.25). “My meet really went well today and I felt solid overall with only a few bobbles. We need to focus as a team and not worry about other teams. I’m proud of what we have been able to do.”

Added Wyss: “The girls did a nice job and I think they were able to clean up their routines from the regular season.

There is a lot of confidence we can get to state as a team, but we have a lot of work to do. Standley Lake did a great job. Jessica was solid today, solid and confident.”

Bear Creek’s first-year coach Lauren Ljunghag had her hands full, juggling the days actions as well as coaching her Bears. But their results were more than pleasing.

“We hit our best score of the season by five points,” Ljunghag said. “We came in shooting for 170 and scored a 173.35, really good for us. I just hope we can keep up to momentum for the regional next week.

It’s a tough way to state, but hopefully we can up our score.”

Bear Creek was led by Myranda Dominguez, who finished fourth on vault (9.3) and tied for fourth on the beam (9.35).

“Personally I had a very good meet other than the Bars,” Dominguez said. “I scored over nine on all the other events which was the first time for me in the 9’s on three events in the same meet. I thought our team did awesome. I hope we can take this and carry over to the region, but, of course, do better overall. We just want to keep the momentum going.”

Lakewood’s Camille Anthony was a leader for the Tigers as was Katie Leach for Pomona.

“Today was one of the best I’ve hit and I’m just proud of all on our team,” Anthony said. “There were disappointments as we had more falls on beam than we wanted. I love floor and felt good here.”

Added Leach, “I think the team did good, but I think I could have done a lot better. My vault was my best at 9.2 and overall, this has been my best season. I think the first time I really connected. I hope we can do well at region.”

Late game penalty kick saves Mustangs soccer season

A-West takes rare loss, allows Ralston Valley to make postseason

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com

ARVADA - It was deja vu all over again for Ralston Valley.

Desperate for a win and three points against Lakewood with their postseason aspirations up in the air last Monday, the Mustangs were penalized for bringing a defender to the ground and the Tigers were awarded a penalty kick with just five minutes left in the game.

Lakewood would make the penalty kick and Ralston Valley, who dominated most of the action, was forced to settle for a 1-1 tie and one point.

Two days later, now in need of an outright win against Arvada West, as well as a Lakewood loss to Standley Lake to qualify for the postseason, Ralston Valley had a

late 1-0 lead against the Wildcats at North Area Athletic Complex on Wednesday.

Eerily similar to what happened just 48 hours before, Ralston Valley was called for a penalty nearly at the same spot and A-West was awarded a penalty kick again with just minutes left in the game.

This time, with their postseason on the line, Ralston Valley goaltender Davis Oaks made the play of the year diving to his right and stopping A-West senior Casey Quinlisk’s penalty kick, saving the ball and his team’s season.

Just as their game ended Ralston Valley (10-4-1, 5-2-1) found out that Standley Lake beat Lakewood 2-1 at Lakewood Memorial Field clinching the Mustangs a spot in the state playoff tournament.

“I was sick to my stomach,” Ralston Valley coach Kyle Kamezi said. “But at the same time I believed he was going to stop it. We have had a tough couple past weeks and I really just feel like we earned it.”

A-West (13-2, 7-1) already locked up their bid to the state tournament and

look to continue their special season by making a run at the state title. The Wildcats won nine straight games before their loss to Ralston Valley, as well as the 5A Jeffco league title last week.

Against Ralston Valley the Wildcats actually played good enough to beat the Mustangs dominating spurts of game action, but they just couldn’t convert on their opportunities.

“Today they had it all to play for and we had things sewed up,” A-West coach Troy Gette said. “We had our chances we just didn’t have that little extra effort and sense of desperation they had.”

Still, Gette thinks his team - when playing their best - has a chance to make a run at a state title.

“When we play and trust each other we are pretty dynamic and can beat anyone. We have hit our stride and have been playing with a lot of confidence,” Gette said.

The game’s lone goal came at 18:25 in the first half when Ralston Valley senior

Lorenzo Politano took a cross from the left wing from junior Nathan Huber and buried it past A-West senior netminder Josh Adams.

“I really just took the good pass and kicked it through. We needed an early goal and I am just happy I made it,” Politano said. “Now we have to come together and put the work in and try to make a run in the playoffs.”

Both teams would trade punches and over the last 20 minutes of the game Ralston Valley went into a prevent defense and would barely hang on for the dramatic victory.

“Regardless of what the implications were this game was really important to them. I don’t know if the word is `accomplished,’ they definitely now feel `able,’” Kamezi said.

The first round of the state tournament kicks Wednesday with fifth seeded A-West hosting No. 28 seed Gateway (73-5). No. 21 seed Ralston Valley will travel to No. 12 Pine Creek (11-4).

Funding backs Coors, Perlmutter CD7 campaign reports reveal diverging funding

By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com The October quarterly fundraising reports — the last before Election Day — were released last week and reveal the deepening difference in funding sources for the two candidates in Colorado’s 7th Congressional District race.

The incumbent, Democrat Ed Perlmutter, raised $725,000 this quarter. His campaign spokesperson Leslie Oliver said it was the best single-quarter haul since he was elected.

Also trumpeted by Perlmutter’s campaign is the figure that more than 4,000 individual donors had contributed to the campaign so far, bringing in $1.3 million, Oliver said “helping him raise more than $2.5 million in all.”

The remaining $1.2 million in that equation came from outside committees, including Political Ac-

person Leslie Oliver when asked for comment about her candidate’s level of outside committee funding.

That imbalance will become a bit less pronounced in the final weeks of the election, as the Republican National Committee is expected to bestow more than $500,000 to the Coors campaign, according to Yi.
