Scoliosis patient raises funds for holistic treatment By Crystal Anderson
POSTAL ADDRESS
Kara Sloper and her family have been reaching out to friends, colleagues, and neighbors seeking funds to cover a life-changing scoliosis therapy for a year. Last Thursday, she started treatment. In early spring 2013, Sloper, 14, was diagnosed with scoliosis, or the sideways curving of the spine. Her curve, known as a “S” Curve, curves approximately 57 and 51 degrees, causing pressure and pain within her lungs, vertebrae, neck and head. “I can’t do much physical exercise because it’s hard to breathe,” Sloper said. “I can’t pick up my little cousins, I get headaches, my neck hurts a lot and I feel nauseated.” After diagnosis, Sloper and her grandparents, who live in Elizabeth, Colorado, began researching nontraditional treat-

Wheat Ridge City Council will look to set a new 90-day moratorium on the issuing of licenses for marijuana establishments, as it considers special-use permits and the prohibition of marijuana licensing altogether. In front of a packed house at the Sept. 22 study session, council discussed issues concerning licenses for marijuana establishments. Council enacted an emergency 90-day moratorium Aug. 18 on the processing of applications for all new marijuana establishments. The moratorium was suggested after a proposed establishment at W. 38th Avenue and Miller Street invoked the ire of many residents. Due to current restrictions on retail and medicinal marijuana centers — which must remain three-fourths of a mile from each other and 1,000 feet away from schools, day cares, alcohol and substance abuse clinics and principle campuses of colleges and universities — the location at 38th and Miller became available once a center at 38th and Kipling closed down. Residents complained that 38th and Miller is too close to Everitt Middle School, Discovery Park and the recreational center. The issue prompted council to evaluate how to regulate the application and licensing process, a discussion which has reopened the debate on whether marijuana is needed at all. Police Chief Dan Brennan updated council on the statistics so far for service calls to marijuana establishments. He noted that most calls were for alarms that had been tripped or triggered, 98 percent of those calls ended without incident. Since 2009, at marijuana establishments Wheat Ridge’s Police Department has responded to five burglaries, three disturbances, 13 incidents of suspicious activity and one incident involving juveniles attempting to coerce older residents to purchase marijuana for them. Brennan also said WRPD has responded to two instances of aggravated robberies in which customers were robbed at gunpoint after purchasing marijuana. Councilman Jerry DiTullio of District One proposed allocating special-use permits for marijuana establishments at the Aug. 18 meeting. With special-use permits, applicants would have to justify to council and the surrounding neighborhood the need for a new establishment, regardless of a whether a location is available. DiTullio called for staff to bring forward a more comprehensive plan, looking at special use permits for marijuana establishments at a future meeting. He also proposed that council enact a second moratorium to give them more time to deal with the issues beyond the holidays. District Four Councilwoman Genevieve Wooden asked if council would consider prohibiting further licensing for marijuana centers, citing that neighboring municipalities have said no to marijuana altogether. She also suggested looking at potential locations for new establishments given the current spatial restrictions. Council members Kristi Davis and Tim Fitzgerald of Districts Two and Three respectively, contended that due to the current restrictions on marijuana establishments, the city could not physically contain many more centers than the five it currently has. Given that, Fitzgerald said a prohibition on all licenses would mostly be for show. “We’ve looked at that map two or three times and we know that there’s not very many places if any, where additional places can go,” Fitzgerald said. “That kind of a ban turns out to be more theater than reality because there just aren’t any more places.” City council will look to extend the moratorium and discuss options for marijuana licenses at a future session.

Don’t just go along for the ride Did you ever notice that whenever we seem to be in a rush to get somewhere fast, the people in front of us move so slowly that they are almost moving in reverse? As I traveled this past week from city to city, on trains, planes, automobiles, boats and trams, there seemed to be a force in the universe that was trying very hard to help me miss my various forms of transportation, and I was cutting it ever so close to make each meeting or appointment. Yet as I was forced to stand still on an upward-moving escalator due to the mass of human traffic ahead of me, I had a few extra seconds to think about how analogous this was to where I am currently on my personal goals for the year. Just like many of you, I am a little behind on my goals and objectives for the year. So as I stood still riding the escalator, I wondered if I had become a little too complacent in the pursuit of my dreams and aspirations. Maybe my
thinking moved from personal action to a thought process of letting someone else or something else do the work for me, just as an escalator moves me up or down from point A to point B. In the situation I described above, I really had no choice but to stand among my fellow travelers, as there was no chance or benefit in starting a shoving match on an escalator full of people. Later in the week I found myself in one of those “aha” moments or “gotcha” feelings. You see, this time I was on an escalator all alone, no luggage, just my backpack.
And I chose to stand still and take the free ride to the top. As my revelation hit home about halfway up, I began the climb, helping myself to the top just a little faster than I would have if I had just stood still. The outcome was that I missed the rental car bus by a few seconds and had to wait another 20 minutes more for the next bus. Had I only acted more proactively from the beginning, I would have already been in the rental car and on my way to the hotel. Now, you may ask, what is the big deal about an extra 20 minutes or so? And normally I would agree with you, as I am a big advocate of making the most of each minute. I could read, check and respond to email, strike up a conversation with someone, etc. However, my mind was in goalachievement mode that day, and I was re-inspired to make up lost ground on my goals, dreams, and personal and professional objectives. And in that frame of mind, each 15 minutes lost or delayed
was adding up to just too many hours of missed opportunity and loss of production. As we enter the fourth quarter of the year, three months to go, there is still plenty of time to course-correct and get back on our path or journey. And we can either allow the escalators of life to dictate our progress, up or down, or we can take control toward the achievement of what we desire most. How about you? Are you standing still and taking the ride, or do you proactively assist the escalator in assisting you? Escalators, elevators, or any mode of transportation for that matter, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we escalate our goals it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a Colorado resident, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Students oppose review of history course Protests occur at most Jeffco high schools
TIMELINE OF EVENTS IN JEFFCO PROTESTS:
By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com With several days worth of chants and placard waving, Jeffco high school students expressed opposition to oversight of the district’s AP U.S. History course. Students across Jeffco walked out of class to protest a resolution to review the Advanced Placement U.S. History (APUSH) curriculum for five days in a row. Students from 14 of the district’s 17 high schools took to sidewalks along major intersections waving posters in support of the AP U.S. History curriculum and characterized attempts to review it as censorship. The resolution, penned by Board Member Julie Williams, stated the curriculum should present positive aspects of the nation’s history, and not “encourage or condone civil disorder, social strife or disregard of the law.” The language of the resolution, along with contention surrounding recent compensation and performance decisions, prompted the Sept. 19 absence of more than 50 Jeffco teachers and closure of Conifer and Standley Lake high schools and ensuing protests. “I must not have explained myself clearly. I thought everyone, or at least everyone involved in education understood the huge debate and controversy surrounding the new APUSH,” Williams wrote in a Sept. 23 news release. “To be accused of censorship? Seriously? That is just ridiculous. I am advocating for just the opposite.” In a televised interview she gave with Fox 31 News, Williams says she is proposing the review of items within the curriculum, and not suggesting the “altering, censoring or omitting of anything.” CCM attempted to contact Williams five times
Following the closure of Golden High School for the day, senior Rachel Hilbrecht and some members of Golden’s debate team stood in the roundabout showing support for the AP U.S. History curriculum. Photo by Crystal Anderson over the week of Sept. 22, with no response. In her initial proposal Williams stated several major historical figures were omitted from the newly released APUSH curriculum framework, including Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. She also said Martin Luther King Jr. was missing from the new curriculum. The APUSH framework is intended as a general outline that does not contain names of all historical figures mentioned in the textbook and materials. However, the framework reveals Jefferson and Adams are specifically mentioned, and items such as the Civil Rights Movement and the Declaration of Independence are to be given significant class time, according to the course timeline. The College Board, an organization in charge of the review of AP courses nationwide, issued a statement Friday, Sept. 26, in support of the student protests, stating if any context
is censored or removed from the curriculum, it would no longer be viable as a college-level course. “If a school or district censors essential concepts from an Advanced Placement course, that course can no longer bear the “AP” designation.” the statement read. Over the course of the week, the student protests were covered by national and international news sources, such as CNN, the AP and the Guardian. Williams’ proposed curriculum review committee is scheduled for discussion at the Oct. 2 board meeting. Students have said they will attend and possibly protest the meeting. In an interview with Board President Ken Witt, he said he was disappointed in the student protests, saying the protests had “certainly some teacher involvement” and education should come first. “I’m confident they’re passionate and convicted, but they are badly misinformed,” he said. “Many of
them are simply believing there is a resolution out there censoring history — there’s no such thing.” He said he is not an expert on the course, but believes a review is necessary and hopes the proposed
committee would give a “good cross-section of voices and a quality review of curriculum.” For now, the formation of a review committee is pending.

than using a brace or surgery, Leavell works to reduce curves by 20 - 30 percent through a series of exercises, joint stretching, and adjustments in the initial phase of Help Wanted treatment. For her it’s about healing the patient, so they and their families can live their lives to the fullest. “It’s not you have a kid with scoliosis and all these other things going on in your life, it should be you have a life and your kid just happens to have scoliosis,” she said. “It’s a different focus where you can actually focus on your life instead of a condition.” The initial treatment costs about $4,950, with additional costs for adjustments, massage therapy and travel expenses. Inspired to help Sloper and her family bear the financial burden, Leavell decided to start the Leavell Foundation. Through this organization, Leavell is devoted to helping heal kids without having the cost of treatment be a stress upon family finances. Using Sloper as her first beneficiary, Leavell, Sloper and her family, began raising funds through a GoFundMe campaign, a pancake breakfast, and a triathlon in an effort finance her treatment. “One of the reasons I chose Kara as my first fundraiser is because of her character,” Leavell said. “She’s a very polite young lady who is intelligent, loving. I’m very impressed by her. She’s a very deserving kid who doesn’t have a way.” The foundation is still in the development phases, but organizers are eager to help patients, so interested parties are encouraged to inquire. Currently, Sloper is more than halfway to her $10,000 goal, and is looking for more ways to fund the remainder of her treatments.

dent of XTO Energy. The 19-member task force met inside the Colorado Division of Wildlife headquarters in Denver, less than a month after members were appointed by Gov. John Hickenlooper. The governor briefly addressed members to wish them well in crafting solutions to issues that have yet to yield a compromise. “Despite the differences — and I know there’s a lot of difficult negotiations ahead of you all and a lot of different history — I think you guys can do it,” Hickenlooper said. The goal of the task force will be to come up with recommendations to the Legislature that would deal with issues involving fracking — the process by which water and chemicals are blasted into the ground to free up trapped oil and gas. Fracking has turned into perhaps the most contentious issue in Colorado, with some communities having voted to place restrictions or moratoriums on oil and gas drilling. Those opposed to fracking have concerns about the potential impact that drilling could have on the environment and on public health. Supporters of fracking believe drilling is safe and point to the creation of jobs and its positive economic impact on the state. The task force was born out of a compromise Hickenlooper reached with Democratic Congressman Jared Polis that resulted in anti-fracking initiatives being pulled from the November ballot. The measures could have resulted in significant restrictions on fracking operations in the state, which relies heavily on oil and gas dollars. The diverse task force is made up of representatives from industries that include oil and gas, agriculture and home builders. Conservation groups are represented, as are local governments. Much of the Sept. 25 meeting was spent going over ground rules and objectives, with each member providing brief comments about the importance of avoiding conflict during the meetings. “I believe we are embarking on a very serious endeavor and I ask that we give it all we got,” said Gwen Lachelt, commission co-chair and La Plata County commissioner. The task force is scheduled to meet six more times over the next five months, with public meetings scheduled across the state. The commission is expected to provide recommendations to the Legislature by March.

Increased revenue means refunds on way TABOR-mandated money expected to come back around in 2016 By Vic Vela vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The debate over voters’ wisdom in backing the 1992 Taxpayer Bill of Rights resumed last week after it was made apparent that Coloradans can soon expect their first state revenue-related tax refunds in 10 years. State economists told members of the Legislature’s Joint Budget Committee on Sept. 22 that TABOR-mandated refunds are expected to occur in 2016. That’s because increased revenues are expected to exceed TABOR limits. TABOR requires the state to refund money to taxpayers when revenues exceed the combined rate of inflation and population
growth. Supporters of TABOR see the constitutional amendment as a way to reign in overzealous spending by lawmakers during rosy economic times. However, opponents believe the measure has crippled the state and local gover nments from putting the money to good use. Lawmakers will have to Report set aside about $130 million in refunds in next year’s budget, followed by even larger refunds the following year, which could reach nearly $400 million. That’s not being taken as good news by Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, the vice chairman of the Joint Budget Committee. Steadman estimates that the refunds would equate to about $11 per taxpayer the first year — money that he believes
Capitol
could be better spent elsewhere. “Frankly I’d rather get our schools to where they ought to be before we start sending refunds to taxpayers,” Steadman said. “And I think a lot of taxpayers would agree.” Steadman is also frustrated by the possibility of the state having to issue taxpayer refunds on revenue that has been collected through recreational marijuana sales. Unless lawmakers take action, a TABOR technicality would require the state to refund pot dollars that were meant to provide money for school construction. This means that lawmakers will either have to get creative with legislation to prevent that from happening or they will have to ask voters for permission to keep the money — the same voters who supported the notion of retail pot sales tax money funding school construction in the first place. “We’re in a position where we may have to refund the total amount of pot tax we
collected in the first year and that’s not what voters had in mind,” Steadman said. “And it’s not my fault, it’s not their fault, it’s TABOR’s fault.” But TABOR-backers believe that budget concerns over tax refunds are being blown out of proportion. Penn Pfiffner, a former state lawmaker and a longtime TABOR proponent, said the state is expected to see about a 10 percent, or $1 billion general fund increase in next year’s budget. So the state isn’t going to miss the relatively small refund that soon will be owed to taxpayers. “If the government is getting almost 10 percent more, why would it complain about having to return $11 per family?” Pfiffner said. “Government should be on a budget just like a family, and new revenues shouldn’t automatically increase government.”

‘Sick out’ teachers warned McMinimee taps disciplinary actions in midst of protests By Glenn Wallace gwallace@coloradocommunitymedia.com For the second time in three weeks, schools in Jefferson County were closed due to a sick-out protest by teachers. In response, District Superintendent Dan McMinimee said the district will use the established disciplinary procedures written into the teacher’s collective bargaining agreement for absent teachers. He said that step one would be docking the protesting teachers’ pay. McMinimee held a press conference Monday afternoon to discuss the teacher protests at both
Golden High School and Jefferson High School that began earlier in the day. For Golden High School, 52 out of 65 teachers called in absent. For Jefferson, 27 of 37 teachers were absent, forcing school to be canceled at both locations. Small student protests braved the wet morning weather to wave signs in front of both locations, in support of teachers. McMinimee said he believed that the school board’s recent decision to approve a teacher compensation package without the support of the Jefferson County Education Association was the motivating factor in both sick-outs. “I’m real disappointed. There’s other avenues to get to those concerns,” McMinimee said of the teacher protest. “The place where we draw the line is where they start taking things away from kids, and clearly today was taking an opportunity for students to have a day of learning in the class-
room.” The district will not be applying those penalties retroactively to the teachers that participated in the previous sick-out at Standley Lake and Conifer high schools on Sept. 19. Since Sept. 19, district students have also staged mass walk-out protests at nearly all Jeffco high school sites, specifically opposing a board of education proposal to create a curriculum review committee to evaluate AP U.S. History to emphasize positive aspects of American history and “should not encourage or condone” civil disobedience, social strife or disregard of the law. McMinimee said that he was in contact with the Jeffco Board of Education, and the Jefferson County Education Association about resolving current district conflicts. He said he would also try to convey the student’s concerns over APUSH at the Oct. 2 Jeffco schools board meeting.
Task force says ‘no’ to pot in Jeffco By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com The Jeffco Marijuana Task Force presented its final report to the Board of County Commissioners and recommended prohibiting retail pot stores in unincorporated Jeffco despite a few dissenting opinions from members on the task force. Following discussions during staff briefings last week, the commissioners postponed their decision and will reconvene in the following weeks. Although opponents argue permitting marijuana establishments may allow for easier access among youth, Commissioner Casey Tighe said he is unsure if that argument is valid. “How could unincorporated Jeffco effectually change access when other cities are allowing it?” Tighe said. The commission asked several in-depth questions regarding sales tax related to marijuana that would include a county pot specific sales tax of 3 percent in addition to the sales
tax in place for the county-wide Open Space sales tax at 0.5 percent and the 0.5 percent sales tax for the Southeast Jefferson County Local Improvement District for road improvements. Because of TABOR, state and local governments cannot raise taxes without voter approval. Taxing pot sales would mean that voters would have to decide whether the county should impose the tax. Pueblo and Adams County have already exercised statues to tax pot sales but “it is not clear that the counties had the express authority to impose the tax,” said Ellen Wakeman, county attorney for Jeffco. “Pueblo is proposing legislation that would specify counties’ authority to impose a tax on recreational marijuana, with a vote.” Regardless of preliminary calculations, which indicate $4.2 million in tax revenue for the county, conflicting data presented in the report from supporters and opponents muddied the topic about marijuana’s impact on public safety and teen use. Each report showing the pros and cons
of allowing retail pot shops pulled surveys and statistics that measured marijuana use over different periods of time —from months to years — and which yielded different results. Traffic fatalities related to marijuana use did not clarify if the substance was used alone or in combination with other substances, yet other numbers indicated traffic fatalities in Colorado have plummeted, according to the report. “For public safety, we are going to see an impact -whether we opt in or opt out,” said Patricia Woodin from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and marijuana task force board member. Dr. Mark Johnson from the county Public Health Department stated the consequences of smoking or ingesting marijuana products has yet to be seen. “The data that I have looked at convinces me that we need a whole lot more data before we make a move to make such a social change that has such possible ramifications and consequences down the line,” Johnson
said. “If you look at tobacco, it took us 300 years to show that it was dangerous to your health,” he said, with the last 50 years dedicated to proving it is dangerous enough to change society’s attitude about the product. “With marijuana, we don’t have that kind of information. We don’t know what’s going to happen; five years, 10 years, 20 years down the line — with this social experiment that we are running — trying to make this a more freely available thing to our population.” The commission asked for more information about the production of hemp and other marijuana-related cultivation. The board has until Feb. 1 to decide if it wants to extend the moratorium or to pass a resolution on whether to allow marijuana establishments in unincorporated Jeffco.

Forum features state board of education candidates By Ashley Reimers
areimers@colorado communitymedia.com During Saturday’s candidate forum at the Westminster Grange Hall, Laura Boggs and Jane Goff spoke to voters about why they’re the best candidate for the Colorado State Board of Education for Congressional District 7. The women also answered questions asked by the public, one about a ballot measure that affects education. The forum was hosted by the Heart of Westminster, formerly the Westminster Progressive Homeowners Association. Goff, the current state school board member elected in 2008, described her experience in education, which includes a 34-year career as a classroom French and Spanish teacher and director of the district’s World Languages and International Student Exchange programs.
“With all of my experience I’ve been able to do the work required by a state board member in ways of setting policy, interacting with communities and hearing concerns of the community,” she said. Boggs spoke about her concerns regarding state testing and the importance of local control. She was elected to the Jefferson County school board in 2009 and served four years. She said as a former school board member, she values the responsibility school boards have in day-today actions in schools. “What’s important is that we don’t have 850,000 Colorado students in seats in March, April and May taking tests,” she said. “Because what they are supposed to be doing is learning. They’re supposed to have the opportunity to interact with teachers and teachers need to have the flexibility to do what they know needs to be done for those students.” During the forum, Boggs and Goff were asked if they oppose or support Proposi-
tion 104, which would require collective bargaining agreement discussions to be open to the public. Goff said the decision to make the meetings open is contingent on how local schools see their needs being met. “I would say this is a strictly local control decision on what the leaders of the district or in this case, the school employees who are bargaining prefer,” she said. “But I am torn about the proposition.” Boggs, who said she is a 100 percent in favor of an open process and open government, admits Proposition 104 is “deeply troubling” for her. She believes if the measure passes, it will end up in the court system. “There is very troubling language in the proposition itself,” Boggs said. “Your local school boards already have control over this issue. So if you don’t like how it’s handed in your local area, change it on the school board. But we don’t need another state law to tell us what to do here.”
Goff ended her portion of the forum by thanking the public for allowing her to represent Congressional District 7 for the past six years and emphasized that positive change takes time. “The past two years have shown great signs of progress, achievement, improvement and promise for the students of Adams County,” she said. “We are on track for these students to make better progress in their K-12 years and have a clear path after high school. “ Boggs reiterated her belief that students are being over tested and urged voters to think about the need for local control in school districts. “If you think the achievement gap is wider and deeper than the Grand Canyon and that we need some immediate change, then I plea with you to thoughtfully consider supporting my campaign and I ask for your vote,” she said.

GERARD HEALEY President MIKKEL KELLY Publisher and Editor GLENN WALLACE Assistant Editor
The group-think blues I used to love the television show “The West Wing.” I have this sickness which makes me enjoy politics, and it fed that; it was quick-paced and often quite witty; and, for a while, it was the only show on television that even attempted to use a 9th grade or higher vocabulary. There was one episode, I think it was in season 1, where the character of Sam Seaborn (played by Rob Lowe) was in a discussion with the boss’s daughter, and he was making her furious. When she asked her father how he could possibly have a person on staff who believed what Sam’s character was arguing, her father answered, “Sam doesn’t actually believe that stuff, but we’re trying to pass a new policy, and we always have the smartest people argue the other side.” I’ve always found that to be very wise. Our school district could have used a little of that sort of thinking last week. When I wrote last week that the swings of the pendulum were getting wilder, I really had no idea what was about to happen. The student walkouts across the district were, er, wild, an interesting case study in civil disobedience, but they lacked one thing: any understanding of the other side. The protests that I saw, and how it was reported in the media, all contained some variant of the idea that the Board of Education should not change the curriculum. Well, the Board of Ed did not “change the curriculum” — the College Board, who publishes the SAT exam and administers
all Advanced Placement exams from New Jersey, changed the Advanced Placement U.S. History (APUSH) Exam last Spring. The stories acted as if any controversy over APUSH sprung out of nowhere. It didn’t — the controversy has been brewing on a national level ever since the new curriculum was announced, and follows on with other controversies related to the Common Core State Standards. And the stories all seem to point to right-wing politics as the genesis of the controversy. It isn’t — no less eminent an intellectual body as the National Association of Scholars published a report dated July 1st that roundly criticized the new APUSH. And the thing is, none of this information was a secret. It would have been a matter of almost no effort at all to find all of the information which I just relayed. The teachers in those schools, having gotten wind of the protest, could have been encouraging their smartest people to argue the other side. They should have been taking advantage of a moment of great passion among their students and
harnessed it to teach about real scholarship and political argument. The problem with only getting one side of an argument is that it tends to create closed-loop cultures. It is easy for “group think” to settle over a society; it becomes the norm to dismiss the opinions of the other side and facts which don’t support your own arguments; and, from there, it’s altogether too easy to begin to demonize your opposition and think of them as inferior. Which can lead to actual violence, like having a school board member’s family threatened. Which actually happened, and which is inexcusable, and for which nobody but the offending party is to blame. But which is also completely predictable when members of a closed loop have their beliefs rejected, as happened last fall with the election of this school board. Oh, and, by the way, this works from the other side, too. Which is how a school board member brings up a resolution calling for teaching of patriotism, citizenship, and positive aspects of America’s history in the first place. A cursory proofread by a neutral party or an opponent would have pointed out the difficulties this idea faced before it ever saw the light of day-after-day protests. 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.
Controversy should not equal censorship I read banned books. I’ll bet you have, too. In fact, you might be surprised – as I was – at the books that have been challenged across the years, iconic books that are signposts in not only our literary history but in our cultural history as well. Last month, Banned Books Week spotlighted the value of unfettered access to information and the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those ideas that some people consider unorthodox or unpopular. The American Library Association (ALA) reports that more than 11,300 books have been challenged since 1982, with 307 challenges reported to the ALA’s Office of Intellectual Freedom in 2013. A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials from a curriculum or library, based on the objections of a person or group with the goal of restricting the access of others. Banning is the actual removal of these materials. However, because of the commitment of librarians, teachers, parents, students, and other concerned citizens, most challenges are unsuccessful and materials are retained in
the school curriculum or library collection. Of course, challenges are often made with good intentions, usually to protect others from difficult ideas or information. Yet, it’s the who, the what, and the why of challenges that bring up the ugly specter of censorship. In our own communities right now, we’re dealing with a curriculum-review proposal in Jeffco schools to limit access to educational materials that “encourage or condone civil disorder,” and instead promote patriotism and respect for authority. It is my fervent hope that
this challenge will never see the serious light of day. That’s because, for one thing, I don’t believe that these concepts are mutually exclusive. Nor do I believe that books tackling the tough subjects of racism, violence, and social injustice should be restricted from public access in any way. Controversy should not equal censorship. A short list of challenged and banned books reads like a “Who’s Who” of controversial works that have shaped America. For example, Harper Lee’s classic novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” which won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 1961, is one of the most frequently challenged books on this topic, and was banned as recently as 2012 in some school classrooms. Lee’s book is in good company, joining “The Grapes of Wrath,” “The Call of the Wild,” “Moby Dick,” “The Red Badge of Courage,” “Catch 22,” A Clockwork Orange,” and “The Great Gatsby” … as well

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Why are you protesting? We asked Jeffco students, “Why protest the school board resolution to review the Advanced Placement U.S. History curriculum?” “I heard everyone talking about how they’re (the school board) trying to change the whole system and teacher pay. Hopefully as a group and as students we get our point across to the school board. I like learning about history and other people, and being a minority, as well, it helps me relate to other people.” Jeerod Balangan (left), Arvada High junior “If you don’t know where you’ve been, how do you know where you’re going? If you don’t know about history you’re doomed to repeat it.” Tyrone G. Parks (middle), Arvada High senior “They’re censoring our history and they’re not teaching us what we’ve done — they’re trying to make us look better. We’re protesting to just change what they teach us, to just teach us the truth.” Ivy Hendrix (right), Arvada High sophomore
--It feels like censorship, and that isn’t the way we should do it. That dilutes everything, we can’t be citizens if we haven’t been taught where we’ve been. Lauren Zimmerman, Lakewood High sophomore
“I feel like we should know everything that is going on in history. If we’re going to be rebels now — we’re going to be rebels again. I don’t see how it’s constitutional to withhold information from us, I don’t think that’s right.” Helena Trujillo, Arvada High sophomore
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Nice work if you can get it It must be nice to have a job where you can walk out and then still keep your job in the Jeffco school district. I couldn’t do that and I am sure most people couldn’t. I imagine I wouldn’t have a job anymore. There’s an idea. Fire the teachers who walked out. Or better yet, quit! I do not want you working for me. Although I am sure you have forgotten who you really work for. Meanwhile we find out today that the median income for an American family has not risen in 25 years, but the average Colorado teacher salary has gone from $30,758 in 1990 to $49,505 in 2010 (that does not include their great benefit program). Of course they are asking for more of my money this year. Shocker! Please no more temper tantrums! Nathan Hatcher Arvada

We Jeffco taxpayers need a chief elections officer who will run the office without partisanship. The county clerk and recorder must make sure that all eligible voters are informed about the voting process. Everyone of us must know the

as most of Ernest Hemingway. How about “A Wrinkle in Time,” listed by “The New Yorker” as one of the most frequently banned books and listed by many adults as a perennial childhood favorite? Or “The Diary of Anne Frank?” I’m not kidding. Oh, and let’s not forget “Fahrenheit 451,” a book about book-banning. The link between great ideas and great
rules well in advance, and be encouraged to vote. We’ll each get a ballot in the mail, so it will be easier than ever for each of us to have a voice. The two major candidates are very different. One has been on the county payroll forever, it seems. She has already left one office to take another without finishing what she was elected to do. Now she wants to do it again. And each time, her unfinished term goes to another political insider chosen by her party insiders, not by us. She hasn’t done much as a Commissioner the last two years. In this old Jeffco resident’s opinion, it’s time for Griffin to finally retire. So I spoke with the other major candidate, Michael Snow, and was very impressed by his energy and thoughtfulness. He understands the election law, and is committed to making it work for all of us. And making sure every man and woman serving overseas gets a ballot as federal and state law require, so they can vote no matter what they’re doing. Including fighting this new war. I’ve been there, during Vietnam, and believe me, I knew the importance of my vote. Jim Engelking Golden
literature and great learning is indisputable. Censorship, in any form, of ideas and literature and learning is the greatest disservice we can do to one another. Perhaps Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas said it best in 1953: “Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us.” Andrea Doray is a writer who’s not surprised to learn that both “Fifty Shades of Gray” and “The Hunger Games” made the list of books challenged in 2013.

Acting for education Boggs talks action from the Colorado State Board of Education By Crystal Anderson canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Taking action in her campaign, Colorado State School Board Candidate, Laura Boggs says now is the time to focus on education. “We need to get focused and we need to start to act,” she said. A former member of the Jefferson County School Board (2009 - 2013), Boggs
said she wants to see more attention on academic achievement, local control, choice and protecting student data across the state. “We’ve got to figure out how to get all eyes focused on what’s happening in our schools and in our classroom and make sure that our students are engaged, parents and community members are engaged, and that there’s learning happening,” she said. Boggs Concerning her campaign issues, Boggs mentioned key points such as conversations around Title One dollars,
improving third-grade reading skills, having more local control, providing choice for all students, and balancing standardized testing as issues to engage with should she be elected to the board table. “We have the conversation, get the information, and then you make a motion and you have alternatives for what districts can do to maintain the accountability,” she said. If elected, Boggs said finding a set of standards that works for Colorado would be one of her first tasks. She said she would be prepared to break away from a `onesize-fits-all’ system and work in a team to find standards that work for all students. “I have a willingness to break the knot,” she said regarding Colorado’s academic
standards. “The first thing I’ll do is make a motion to break the knot, so local school boards get that flexibility back.” With a child in the public school system and family ties to education, Boggs said she brings a different perspective to bring to the board, as the decisions they make can directly affect her child. For Boggs, a sense of urgency surrounds education today, a system she says needs to be better. “I want what’s best for kids, everybody wants what’s best for kids, and I’m willing to listen,” she said. “This is not partisan politics, it’s education and it’s not good enough, really not good enough.” For more information, visit www.electlauraboggs.com.
Stealing light from the dark Colorado ACTS hosts ‘Diary of Anne Frank’ By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Some stories are too important to forget — they demand to be told over and over so that new generations can learn from the mistakes of the past. Colorado ACTS is bringing that idea to the fore with its community production of “The Diary of Anne Frank.” The show plays at the theater, 11455 W. Interstate 70 Frontage Road North in Wheat Ridge, at 7 p.m. on Oct. 10, 11, 17 and 18. A special matinee performance will be 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11. “It’s so important that we never forget

The play, written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, and newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman tells the story of the Frank and Van Daan families, who hide from the Nazis in a small apartment in Amsterdam. Middleton said the group has been working on this production since June, with rehearsals for the actors beginning in August. “It’s been so much fun, and such a great community for all of us,” said Kaia Parnell, who plays Anne. “When you do a production like this, you do become a family.” Middleton said she encouraged the actors to do research into Judaism, and Parnell spent some time looking into the play’s history to prepare for the show. “I like that at first Anne is kind of a brat — she has fun teasing a boy and being a kid,” Parnell said. “I think it shows that she
was a normal girl, and these were the kind of people this was happening to.” Since the show is a community production the actors are a mix of teenagers and adults and Middleton said the quality of the teenagers’ performances reflect their characters. “They’re doing marvelous things — these are not typical teens, on the stage or in real life,” she said. “If this show makes just one more person become more accepting, than we’ve done our job.” For Parnell, the production is a chance to both introduce and reintroduce a vital human being to audiences. “I see her as this bright light in a world of darkness,” she said. “Anne was so profound in how she was able to steal the light from the dark times.” For more information, call 303-4566772 or visit www.coloradoacts.org.

Assessor candidates looking to serve taxpayers Three candidates seek Jeffco seat By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Republican candidate Ron Sandstrom, Democratic candidate Andrew Hassinger and Libertarian candidate Pat Sullivan each stake a claim to being the best man for the job of county assessor. Unlike other political races with candidates promising reform or lower taxes, Jeffco candidates for county assessor are looking to improve internal operations while strengthening relationships with residents through communication and understanding. Ron Sandstrom has been running on a campaign “as a true representative of the people,” which put him ahead of his opponent Lou D’Aurio during the Republican primary, with a 66.75 percent lead, according to official election results. Colorado Community Media recently published stories involving Sandstrom’s tax debt owed to the IRS and the Colorado Department of Revenue does not seem to have unnerved the candidate— who hasn’t commented to the newspaper about his tax history — but he did attend a Meet the Candidates forum last week by the Women League of Voters.
Sandstrom Hassinger
Sullivan
“The assessor’s office needs fresh air,” Sandstrom told the Transcript in June. “I feel I know the taxpayer because having worked with the taxpayer I can understand where the tax payer is coming from,” he said. “I am not coming from the side of sitting in the assessor’s office and looking at it from a government side, I am looking at it from an individual side.” In the last 34 years, Sandstrom has focused on handling disputes with the Jeffco Assessor’s Office. He runs his own tax consulting business F & S Tax Consultants and reports he has successfully resolved property tax valuation issues in Adams, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Delta, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson, Mesa, Montrose, Rio Grande and Weld counties. If elected, Sandstrom said he would like to mend problems at the assessor’s office such as record keeping and speeding up the hearing process for disputes which is part of his initiative to bring efficiency and fairness. Andrew Hassinger, 39, is the youngest of his opponents and currently works for
his own appraisal business, Back Porch. He recently resigned from the Boulder County Assessor’s office in order to focus on his campaign. He has worked as an appraiser for big and small businesses and has worked for the City and County of Denver as staff and associate appraiser in the Residential Division. “I think if you have an assessor that’s really thinking about what his community is needing then you’ll have less appeals,” Hassinger said. “It’s so important for the Assessor’s Office to communicate effectively, really effectively, with the residential market because those homeowners — they know what their value is right now, that’s the world they are living in, and the Assessor’s office lives in a world that’s 18 month to two years ago.” Advocacy for legislation that impacts taxpayers is also a goal for Hassinger who is looking to “clean-up” the Senior Tax Exemption so as not to exclude residents who have lived in the county longer than 10 years. The tax exemption is applies to qualifying seniors where 50 percent of the first $200,000 of actual value of residential real property is exempt from property taxes. “It’s probably the least popular job in the county,” said Pat Sullivan, Libertarian candidate for assessor. There’s a reason why the county is seeing three people running for assessor, Sullivan said, “we all see something that we think can be improved.” For Sullivan, it’s managing operational costs including the office’s tiny $4.6 million
budget. “I think the job is difficult because you don’t have a whole lot of resources,” he said. With the county growing and a booming residential market, residential appraisals are a small fraction of the work compared to the amount of appeals and mass appraisals the office handles, Sullivan said. “I have the benefit of having a little more insight and knowledge in the assessment world than most,” he said. “What I bring to the county that is different is the experience with all the aspects of the Assessor’s Office.” Previously, Sullivan was performing commercial appraisals for Jeffco but migrated into consulting work in the private sector. He lists his career experiences in residential appraisals for mortgage lending, commercial and industrial appraisal experience, and business personal property appraisals. The Assessor’s Offices’ implementation of a new property tax automation and land registry software, Manatron, has had a few “quirky” issues resulting in law suits, Sullivan said. “That’s going to be an issue for the appraisal in 2015,” he said. “It’s something that needs to be looked into.” More information about these candidates can be found online: Andrew Hassinger: www.andrewhassingerforassessor.com Pat Sullivan: www.sullivanassessor.com Ron Sandstrom: www.sandstromforassessor.com
WHEAT RIDGE NEWS IN A HURRY Small dog dies after possible coyote attack On the morning of Sept. 24, the Wheat Ridge Police Department received a report of a small dog being killed following a possible coyote attack on the east side of the city near Founders Park, in the 3700 block of Jay Street. While the animal was not seen, the evidence points to a coyote as the likely predator.
Wheat Ridge Police Department Community Services Officers would like to remind citizens that foxes and coyotes live among them in our parks and neighborhoods. Precautions should be taken to minimize contact with these wild animals. All aggressive encounters with coyotes should be reported to local authorities. Coyotes are attracted to neighborhoods by the availability of garbage, pet food, and pets. All pet food, trash, fallen fruit,
WHAT THE HAIL! - The Preferred Local Roofing Company for Many Insurance Companies, Hundreds of Agents, and Thousands of Coloradans - No Creepy Door Knockers - Free Inspections
birdseed, and other possible food sources should be removed to discourage coyotes from visiting your property. Pets are a food source to coyotes; even large pets can be at risk of being injured or killed by coyotes. Dog owners should always supervise their pet outside, especially at dawn and dusk; keep the dog on a short leash; do not allow the dog to play with a coyote; if possible carry the dog when coyotes are visible and avoid known
or potential den sites. Children should also be taught to stay away from all wild animals and strange dogs but if a coyote does approach, the child should wave their arms, stomp their feet and yell loudly to “Go away!” More information about avoiding human-coyote conflicts can be found at http://cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/LivingwithWildlifeCoyote.aspx.

Church basement ladies back at BDT Stage BDT Stage (formerly Boulder’s Dinner Theatre ... only the name has changed) is once again being visited by the church ladies. “Church Basement Ladies 2: A Second Helping” runs through Nov. 8. I enjoyed the first story about the church ladies but I liked their return visit even more. Not sure why. Maybe it was because I’d met most of them before. The cast includes Barb Reeves, Bren.Eyestone Burron, Tracy Warren, Sarah Grover, and Wayne Kennedy (as the Pastor). Neal Dunfee (located somewhere in the theater rafters) is the church organist. The tunes are pleasant but may not cause you to leave humming your favorite song. The voices and acting; however, make up for any deficiency. And, the set is so authentic that I found myself wanting to go to the sink to wash unseen but no doubt nearby, communion vessels. In a small rural Minnesota town in 1969, the world is changing and the church ladies have to find ways to deal with it. Amid laughter and tears they support each other. This musical will ring bells with anyone who has ever known... or been, or is a “church basement lady.” The program even includes a glossary for those who don’t speak Minnesotan. My favorite is “Uff Da” which reminds me of a former boss who had, indeed, lived in Minnesota. Oh, BTW...it means “Wow,” or “Really?” or even “Whew!” It’s an APW (all purpose word). BDT Stage offers one of the best entertainment values around with tickets for dinner and show beginning at just $37. It’s great fun having the actors/servers interact with audience members, particularly during intermission when they are in costume and you’ve become familiar with
their characters. For tickets and information, call 303-449-6000 or visit www. bouldersdinnertheatre.com. Premiere at Miners Alley Playhouse Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden presents the world premiere of “Dylan Went Electric” written by award-winning and internationally produced playwright Josh Hartwell. Jim Hunt directs the tale that takes place in a Bohemian tavern in Greenwich Village,1969, where an eclectic bunch of folks gather to ponder their lives. The play features live music with original songs and an onstage bar (which is open to the audience at intermission). Getting the audience members off the stage and back to their seats proved to be a bit of a challenge. The storyline is quite esoteric but having lived through that period and being a bit of a hippie/ philosopher helped me relate. The acting and directing are first rate, which is to be expected from this award-winning and uber talented group of folks. “Dylan Went Electric” features a variety of local musicians. For tickets and information, call 303-935-3044 or visit www. minersalley.com. Hartwell and Hunt is a combination that makes for a great trip to the theater. The play runs through Sunday, Oct. 19, at 1224 Washington Ave., Golden.
Smart ‘D’: Keys to help kids Evidently families (perhaps the whole country) are searching for Positive Discipline Guidelines to help children see the sense in acting a certain way and destressing family life. With her permission here are more principles. Thank you for phone calls, e-mails, and stopping us at the grocery store to request more of these principles. Families can find the complete list on Dr. Katharine Kersey’s blog. Do a Google search for Katharine Kersey. Her blog will be listed. It is available to print out and send around the world to loved ones. Her book for teachers is also listed there. It is a brilliant list for the refrigerator. Families can use it throughout the day and give as gifts to new parents and teachers. See grandparentsteachtoo.org and wnmufm.org for more “Learning Through the Seasons” information.
Keys to help Humor Principle — Make a game out of it. Laugh together a lot. (”How would a rabbit brush his teeth?”” When/Then-Abuse it/Lose it Principle — “When you have finished your homework, then you may watch TV.” (No homework-no TV.) Privacy Principle — Never embarrass a child in front of others. Always move to a private place to talk when there is a problem especially in a restaurant, grocery store, classroom, or mall. Create such a place in your home. Sometimes sitting in the car to talk things over is a good idea. Satiation Principle — Allow the behavior to continue if it is not dangerous,
destructive, embarrassing, or an impediment to learning until the child is tired of doing it. Shrug Principle — Learn to shrug instead of arguing. The shrug means,” I’m sorry, but that’s the way it is — end of discussion.” Switch Gears Principle — When the unexpected occurs, look for a way to make the most of the situation. For example, if you have a long wait, suggest that each of you close your eyes and listen for what you can hear, or look around and find something you have never noticed before. Take a Break Principle — Tell the child to “take a break” and think about what she could do differently that would work better or be more constructive. Give her a place to go until she is ready to come back and behave more productively. (This could be a place that you have created in your home or classroom that is comfortable and quiet. A timer is sometimes helpful. The child can determine how long she might need to reflect, refocus and calm down.) The child is in control here. She can decide when she is ready to rejoin the group or try again.

I am always thrilled to report on a former Rocky Mountain News colleague who found an employment path after the newspaper folded. Former Rocky sports columnist Sam Adams kept nurturing his comedy career as an adjunct to his newspaper job. And now he’s combined both worlds as a sports commentator on 9News and as a full-fledged stand-up comedian. Adams also leverages his local fame to give back to the community, even if that means taking numerous whipped cream pies to his face. On Sept. 27, the Denver comedian and sports personality got his mug mashed in at the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center Hotel’s Centennial Room in exchange for donations to Komen Colorado, the local affiliate of Susan G. Komen, the national nonprofit, as part of Komen’s Class of 2014 Pink Tie Guys whose mission is to heighten awareness of breast cancer. If you didn’t make it to the event, but would like to make a contribution, go to www.komencolorado.org. Also on Adams’ agenda is a gig as headliner at 8 p.m. Oct. 1 at Comedy Works downtown, 1226 15th St. Use the promo code “Karen” for a discount when you purchase tickets online at www.comedyworks.com/comedians/486. As a side note, Mr. On the Town, a Missouri native and Mizzou grad, spotted Adams on an Exede Satellite Internet TV commercial after witnessing the Tigers’ upset loss to Indiana on Sept. 20.
Castle Rock, Centennial rate
Castle Rock is No. 4, Centennial rates a lucky 13 and Boulder boasts No. 23 on Money magazine’s latest list of the nation’s 50 top small cities with populations between 50,000 and 300,000. Here’s how “Money” gathered its list: “Starting with a pool of 781 cities, we used data from Onboard Informatics and other sources to comb through everything from the local economy and housing market to schools and healthcare — more than 50 factors in all. Then, we sent reporters to visit the 35 top scoring places, looking for a sense of community and other intangibles.” Check out the whole story at www. time.com/money/3312312/castle-rockcolorado-best-places-to-live/.
Rio says hola to Frisco
The Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant, a born-in-Colorado restaurant group, has opened a seventh location in Frisco. This new Rio outpost will be the company’s first new location in almost 10 years and will serve up its famous margaritas and made-from-scratch Mexican food to Summit County in a newly designed building. “Frisco is at the epicenter of yearround recreation in Colorado — which is a huge part of our company culture,” said Rio founder and president Pat McGaughran. “The Rio is the ideal destination for people looking to reward themselves after playing hard in Colorado — whether it’s skiing, biking, hiking or enjoying time with family. This is part of what makes the Rio uniquely Colorado.” Located off the Interstate 70 corridor at “The Basecamp,” 182 Lusher Court, the Rio is adjacent to the new Whole Foods.

Attack ads flood Colorado airwaves Big-money interests not always clear By Katie Kuntz Rocky Mountain PBS I-News Campaign attack ads dominating television airwaves across the state depict Colorado’s senatorial candidates as extreme, harmful and woefully out of step with their fellow Coloradans. Crossroads GPS — a conservative political action committee headed by former George W. Bush administrator Karl Rove — and the National Republican Senatorial Committee portray U.S. Sen. Mark Udall as a hapless sycophant of President Obama’s. Their ads assert that Udall’s clueless support of the Affordable Care Act — known as Obamacare — has harmed Coloradans one and all. Liberal groups like the Senate Majority PAC and Next Generation Climate Action depict Udall’s opponent, Colorado Republican Congressman Cory Gardner, as a grimfaced misogynist, whose views on issues important to women are medieval, at best. The Udall-Gardner contest, not incidentally, is one of the races expected to determine which party controls the U.S. Senate after the Nov. 4 election. So far, the outside groups have spent almost three times as much as the candidates themselves. “If you run around the country there are maybe 10 states that have really competitive races and Republicans need to win six Senate seats to win the Senate — Colorado is very competitive,” said political analyst Floyd Ciruli. “It’s not quite a Super Bowl, that’d be the presidential race — but we’re in a very major, close playoff.” And it may come as no surprise that millions are being spent by outside organizations to paint the two Colorado candidates into very dark corners. But what might be sur-

Udall
prising is comparing those funding the negative attacks with what their primary interests truly are.
Tricks of the trade A Rocky Mountain PBS I-News analysis of Federal Communications Commission and Federal Election Commission data, as well as reports collected by the Center for Responsive Politics, demonstrate how the playbook works. First, use polarizing issues to ignite voters. Thomas Steyer, a California billionaire who has drawn attention for his philanthropy and activism for environmental causes, has mastered this first play. Steyer is the lead financial backer for Next Generation Climate Action, which has so far spent more than $1 million in this state’s largest television markets, Denver and Colorado Springs. Two of the most widely aired ads from Steyer’s organization — named “Keep Out” and “Not Extreme?” — assail Gardner for his positions against birth control and abortion and same-sex marriage, all of which are highly polarizing issues. But Next Generation Climate Action does not, as an organization, list any interest in policies related to abortion, marriage equality or birth control. To be fair, the ads do briefly mention climate change, scoffing that Gardner “thinks he knows better than the scientists, NASA and the U.S. military on climate change.” “It is a straight-out brawling competition,” Ciruli said. “The people who play it may be personally idealistic, but in the way they play the game they are totally realists, and research shows them that climate change is not nearly as effective at moving voters as things like reproductive rights.” Similarly, other groups whose primary interests are oil and gas development or the energy business attack Udall’s support of the Affordable Care Act. While their true concern might be approval for the Keystone pipeline, as an example, they’re betting that Obamacare is still such a negatively charged issue that it can help sink the environmentally minded Udall. Sometimes they might mention energy issues, but not as a primary focus. The second power play works by cloaking one’s self-interests in charitable or nonprofit political giving, as modern masters Sheldon Adelson and David and Charles Koch have demonstrated. Adelson and his wife, Miriam, donated $23 million during the 2012 presidential cycle to Crossroads GPS on behalf of the nonprofit Adelson Drug Clinic and Adelson’s corporation, Las Vegas Sands, according to files from the Federal Election Commission.
Sheldon Adelson, listed as the world’s eighth wealthiest man by Forbes, with a net worth of more than $31 billion, has drawn wide attention to his heavy contributions to campaign finance. He has also been litigating a federal lawsuit aimed at his overseas casinos. Similarly, David and Charles Koch have been intimately linked with Americans for Prosperity, Freedom Partners and Crossroads GPS in the past, but their contributions this cycle are not known. “Nonprofit political groups do not have to disclose donors,” said Viveka Novak, editorial and communications director for the Center for Responsive Politics. “So we could only identify organizations that filed 990s (nonprofit tax forms) and that wouldn’t include individuals or corporations, so there are still a lot of donors or donations no one would know about.” Adelson, the Koch brothers and many other politically active billionaires and multimillionaires across the political spectrum are able to maintain privacy and give endless funds following the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision, which held that political spending is a form of protected speech under the First Amendment.
Donors work both sides There’s still another trick in the playbook, and that’s playing both sides. By contributing to competing candidates, it can be hard to lose, the reasoning goes. Hedge funds and international investment banks are among the leading campaign contributors in the United States — and they donate in almost equal amounts to both Democratic and Republican committees. Consider Renaissance Technologies, a New York hedge fund that in 2013 managed an estimated $25 billion. This year, founder and retired CEO James H. Simons was ranked by Forbes among the world’s wealthiest people at $12.5 billion. Of the millions of dollars Simons and the current CEO of Renaissance, Robert Mercer, have donated to campaign groups so far this year, about $3 million went to liberal organizations, and $3 million went to conservatives. “This firm, it’s got money everywhere, it’s invested in things that could benefit from both parties,” Ciruli said. “Some of it could just be personal, but often it is driven by a strategy that just makes sense.” This company’s lobbying records in 2014 show that its primary focus is to avoid higher tax rates for hedge funds — an issue almost totally ignored in the majority of Colorado’s campaign ads. In fact, of more than 30 ads reviewed by I-News and truth-tested by 9News, only one ad even briefly mentioned “tax rates for companies overseas.” The Blackstone Group is also a top hedge fund contributor to both the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee. These committees have already spent $3.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, on campaign ads in Denver, bashing either Gardner or Udall. “TV ads are number one, the overwhelming most important tool in winning one of these campaigns,” Ciruli said. “If Channel 9 has another minute (for advertising), you can bet it will get bought.” Colorado Community Media brings you this report in partnership with Rocky Mountain PBS I-News.

Volunteer fire agencies struggle with staffing Much of state relies on unpaid emergency crews
The red-zone departments protect more than 300,000 Coloradans.
By Katie Kuntz and Burt Hubbard
On average, all-volunteer departments took 30 minutes to muster six firefighters to a wildfire, while hybrid departments averaged almost 45 minutes to reach similar incidents with fewer than five responders, according to a state survey. The average response time to all fire categories was 18 minutes with fewer than six responders, numbers below recommendations set by the NFPA. A volunteer department in a designated rural area should send at least six respondents to an incident within 14 minutes. The standards allows for four respondents in designated remote areas. The majority of areas protected by volunteers in Colorado are considered rural or remote. “Volunteers go out sometimes with two or even just one person,” Briese said. “But the optimal number is four and we want no less than three — but to do that we would need a pool of about 30 volunteers (for each department).” Of the 198 all-volunteer stations, 162 departments — or 82 percent — have fewer than 30 volunteers. The Peyton Fire Protection District east of Colorado Springs, for example, protects a population of more than 10,000 Coloradans and 110 square miles, but has only 15 volunteers. Mike Heckard, volunteer lieutenant in Peyton, said the obligations faced by volunteers, primarily work, and their short numbers, can mean that only one volunteer will respond. “Sometimes we have volunteers who will be at the station, and when we get a call they can respond straight from here,” Heckard said. “But a lot of our members work in Colorado Springs, which is about half an hour away — so it really depends on the time of day we get the call.” Heckard said night and weekend emergencies see faster response times and more responders. “Obviously, time is a concern for us,” said Daniel Hatlestad, deputy chief of the InterCanyon Volunteer Fire Department in Jefferson County. “Fires change — it is extremely
Rocky Mountain PBS I-News
Volunteer firefighters protect about half of Colorado’s residents, with solely volunteer departments being responsible for about 70 percent of the state’s land surface. And they are significantly understaffed. The Colorado State Fire Chiefs Association estimates that Colorado is short 3,500 volunteers in meeting National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) standards. That would require an increase of more than 40 percent to the present force. “Generally, all fire departments that have volunteers need more volunteers,” said Garry Briese, executive director of the fire chiefs association. Like their career counterparts, volunteers are expected to respond at all hours of day and night, often over extended distances, and in all weather conditions. They face the same obstacles, inherent health risks and physical dangers. The difference is that they don’t get paid. There are 198 all-volunteer departments in Colorado serving more than 450,000 residents, and an additional 137 agencies that are a combination of career and volunteer firefighters. These “hybrid” stations serve 2.2 million residents, and 33 of them have only one or two paid firefighters. To give perspective to the size and shape of all-volunteer fire departments against their vast responsibilities, they average nine firefighters per 1,000 residents and six per 100 square miles, an area about two-thirds the size of Denver. A Rocky Mountain PBS I-News analysis of state fire agency records highlights the critical role played by volunteers, as well as the impact of shortages on response times and numbers of responders. The data show: At least 43 departments are completely within the Colorado red zone — the territory most prone to destructive wildfires. Twelve of those departments are made up entirely of volunteers and 25 are hybrid departments.
Response times suffer
rapid in a house fire, where it can literally double in just a matter of minutes.” But with few volunteers available, especially during the work week, longer response times can be inevitable. “One of the things about our department is that because we are all volunteers, we can always use more volunteers,” Heckard said. “That’s kind of a volunteer-wide problem right now.”
Small department struggles
The Rock Creek Volunteer Fire Department covers about 350 residents in north Eagle County. Volunteer fire chief Brita Horn said her department’s operations are critical, but with only about 12 total volunteers, it’s difficult to muster a big response. “The people who actually live here in this area, who can actually make the call, there are probably six to eight who can actually respond,” Horn said. “We are lucky to get two people to respond. “Most of us work during the day and we work in other communities and might be even an hour away,” said Horn, who is the Routt County treasurer, on top of her duties with Rock Creek. “We do have rolling tires within six minutes of receiving a call, but we respond from our homes or our work or our ranches.” The Rock Creek district covers some 250 square miles. “We can call up a strike team from other fire departments, but it can take about an hour for anyone to show up,” Horn said. In 2012, the Inter-Canyon volunteers were among the first responders to the Lower North Fork Fire, one of the first in a series of highly destructive fires that year. “It destroyed 28 structures (including 22 homes) and three people died,” Hatlestad said. “Ultimately, it took hundreds of firefighters, volunteers and career, to beat that one. “This year we have had only two very, very small wildland fires,” he said. “It’s all dependent on the weather — but in other years we will have tremendous land fires.”
Most runs aren’t fires
Volunteer firefighters are also first re-
sponders in case of medical emergencies, motor vehicle accidents and natural disasters. Only 15 percent of their calls are to actual fires. “People see the fire department as that one source for emergencies,” Hatlestad said. “We have assisted in horse rescues, hazardous materials, rope rescues — like in searches near the canyons — and that’s a completely different set of talents and knowledge to complete those kinds of rescues.” Last September’s flooding along West Creek devastated Glen Haven, an unincorporated community northeast of Estes Park, with volunteer firefighters acting as first responders, community organizers and cleanup crew. “We were lucky the new (fire station) building was about 90 percent complete by the flood — because our old one was washed away,” said Jason Gdovicak, volunteer chief of the Glen Haven department. “The new station became the sort-of town center and now we are kind of getting back to normalcy.” The flood pushed many residents to volunteer, and to seek to join the fire department. But Gdovicak had to draw the line — the department simply could not afford it. “It costs about $5,000 per volunteer,” he said. “That covers their training and safety equipment so the firefighter doesn’t have to put any money up.” Training and protective gear are critical elements to maintaining an effective and safe volunteer force. But in Colorado, it’s all voluntary. There is no statute requiring firefighters to become certified, even though many departments push it. “We do tons and tons of medical training, and we have to restart every year,” said Rock Creek chief Horn. “It’s all basic medical first responder — stop the bleeding, start the breathing.” Volunteer departments often use training as a way of maintaining interest. “The fewer fires you have, the fewer activities, the more volunteers will drift away,” Briese said. “We have to have a purpose and there are a lot of demands on our time right now.” But training can also cost a significant amount of time and money. Then there is fundraising, which can be burdensome.

Sullivan challenges sex trafficking charge Arraignment set for Oct. 6 By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Defense counsel for Christopher Sullivan, the man responsible for the crime spree on Lookout Mountain on July 23, is pushing back on a child sex trafficking for sexual servitude charge brought against Sullivan in August by the Jeffco DA’s office. Sullivan spent a full day in court on Friday, Sept. 26, for separate preliminary hearings involving the human trafficking charge and the 48 counts filed against him for events on July 23, as well as identify theft charges unrelated to the Lookout Mountain crime spree. Ralph Gallegos, investigator with the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office was called to testify on behalf of the state to discuss the investigation which led to the child sex trafficking charge. On July 23, Sullivan was taken into cus-
tody, along with a 17-year-old who was with Sullivan when a Jeffco Sheriff’s deputy pulled them over in a routine traffic stop before both Sullivan and the female juvenile took off on foot, which led to a manhunt by the Colorado State Patrol and Golden police department. During the search by law enforcement, the suspects began a two-hour crime spree across Lookout Mountain that included vehicle thefts, home burglaries and menacing of 12 bystanders. The female juvenile was being held at the Mount View Youth Detention facility on charges of criminal attempt first-degree murder of a police officer, aggravated robbery, first degree aggravated motor vehicle theft and criminal attempt first degree aggravated motor vehicle theft. But now, investigators in the case said the female, who is a known prostitute in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is an alleged victim of child trafficking for sexual servitude where Sullivan is alleged to have harbored, transported and making available for sex.

“The court had no evidence of recruiting, harboring, transporting -maintaining,” said Miriam Stohs, defense attorney for Sullivan. “There was no evidence whatsoever that he did these things.” During an interview with a child forensic interviewer with the FBI from the Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force, the juvenile was given immunity for her telling of how she came into contact with Sullivan which began in Albuquerque, New Mexico and her actions in Colorado after accompanying Sullivan, which included meeting men for sex in exchange for money, according to arrest affidavits. Sullivan, who had five outstanding warrants prior to his arrest, as well as other pending cases in Jeffco, was in Colorado to visit his mother and son, the defense argued. According to the defense, the juvenile’s statements made during her interviews with the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office as well as the Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force make no indication that Sullivan was acting as her pimp

and instead, the juvenile acknowledges she was aware of Sullivan’s criminal past prior to going with him to Colorado. The juvenile also stated she is “adamant” that she is an independent sex worker. Although testimony from Gallegos was based on his inference that Sullivan was trafficking the female juvenile after reviewing reports from deputies who overheard Sullivan state that he was aware of the juvenile’s age and profession, District Court Judge Christie Phillips granted probable cause based on sufficient non-hearsay evidence sufficient for an arraignment set for Monday, Oct. 6 at 1 p.m. Sullivan’s preliminary hearing for the 48 counts filed against him for the crime spree was postponed until Monday, Oct. 20 after prosecutors failed to deliver discoveries to the defense in a timely manner. “(The) defense is left with an inability to question evidence,” said County Court Judge Verna Carpenter. “Mr. Sullivan needs to have a meaningful preliminary hearing.”

Improve the nutritional value of candied apples Metro Creative Connection
H
omemade candied apples are a fixture come Halloween. Sweet, delectable and very easy to make, these apples are a staple at parties and may even be distributed to trick-or-treaters. As anyone who has bit into a sticky-sweet candied apple can attest, although delicious, these apples are not exactly a healthy snack. Yet, with a few, easy modifications, it’s possible to improve the nutritional value of candied apples. With ingredients like caramel, marshmallow, chocolate fudge, and sugar, it’s easy to see how candied apples do not embody a healthy treat, despite an apple being underneath all those candy adornments. Try these ideas to increase the nutritional value of this beloved treat. • Make your own caramel using condensed milk, brown sugar and butter. By controlling the ingredients, you can avoid extra sugar and any additives in commercially sold caramel toppings. • Use honey for the outer coating of the apple. Then roll it in chopped almonds or granola. • Coat apples with dark chocolate, which contains less sugar than milk chocolate and is packed with antioxidants. Sprinkle with dried cranberries and chopped walnuts. • Substitute actual cinnamon for melted cinnamon candies in recipes. Mix powdered cinnamon with a light corn syrup and then dip the apples to coat. • Swirl homemade raspberry jam with an all-natural peanut butter and spread it on the apples for a gourmet take on peanut butter and jelly. • Hazelnut spreads are all the rage right now. Use your favorite chocolate hazelnut spread on the apples and sprinkle with granola for crunch. • Drizzle the apples with your sugary concoction rather than dipping them to cut down on the sugar. This still provides much flavor but does so without all of the sugar. • Dip apples in melted cheese, like brie or gouda. Sprinkle with bacon bits for a sweet and salty combination. Experiment with your own flavors. Making your own candied apples, rather than purchasing them from stores, enables you to control the ingredients and how much actual candy goes into the recipe.

Master meat cutters show their chops at ice rink By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Where’s the beef? In the very last place you’d look for it. On Sept. 23, 26 beefy guys were slicing, chopping and carving it up at South Suburban Ice Arena in Centennial, literally on the ice, in hopes that their mad knife skills would win them a trip to the warmer climes of Florida and a chance at $20,000. The event was the National Meat Cutting Challenge, part of the Meat Hero program that recognizes the Texas Roadhouse restaurant chain’s best meat cutters. Each contestant got 50 pounds of beef — two top butts, one tenderloin and one rib loin. The winner is determined by who yields the most steaks with the highest-quality cut in the least amount of time. “They have a lot of pride in what they do,” said Ben Davis, managing partner of the Texas Roadhouse in Monument, as he waited to find out how his two cutters fared. They had 80 minutes, which is a long time to stand on an ice-cold floor. But it’s nothing compared to their everyday work. In an average year, according to a news release, they cut about $1 million worth of meat each, spending seven to eight hours a day in a 35-degree, walk-in cooler. “It takes a special person to sit in a cooler all day, and it’s really pretty physical work,” said Davis. “The experienced guys use all the time they have for this competition. Some of them actually have to try to go slow, because they’re used to cutting in their store where they have to be fast.” Diego Nunez, of Littleton, is one of those special guys. He grew up in Clear Creek County, so he knows all about freezing. “I snowboard all the time, so I’m used to the cold,” he said.

Meat cutters can stand for hours at a time in meat closets even colder than this skating rink. Photo by Jennifer Smith attends Red Rocks Community College in pursuit of a career as a firefighter. “I love it,” he said. “The staff is great, and I get along with everyone great.” He said his approach to the competition was just to take his time and measure everything. “The hardest part is overthinking it,” he said. There is a lot to think about when cutting meat, things like sinew, nerves, veins, fat and a little bit of geometry. Texas Roadhouse generally trains its meat cutters for
a month before letting them loose on their own. But Roman Mendoza of the Parker store turned out to be somewhat of a meat-cutting prodigy, said his manager, Jesse Trask. After his month of training, Mendoza had only been on the job a week when he qualified to compete. “He’s fantastic,” said Trask, as he tended to all the freshly cut steaks he was grilling up for the after-competition barbecue. “He’s one of my best. He’s taking this on as a new endeavor, and he loves it.”
Contestants at this regional competition came from as far away as South Dakota and New Mexico, but Colorado prevailed in the end. The four who lived to chop another day are Vicente Heredia of Colorado Springs, Jose Reyes of Thornton, Angel Decora of Fort Collins and Omar Sanchez of Arvada. They could eventually be one of the 10 nationwide who carve a path to the final 2015 national competition in Orlando to vie for the $20,000 grand prize. “For some of those guys, that could almost double their income,” said Davis.

FOOTBALL HIGHLIGHTS
Arvada West is much improved under a new head coach but they still have work to do if they want to compete with Pomona evident by the Panthers 34-3 win over the Wildcats Friday at North Area Athletic Complex. Photo by Dan Williams
Pomona pounds A-West Golden red hot after second straight shutout victory By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com ARVADA - Under first-year head coach Brad Pyatt Arvada West football looks like a program on the rise. But they still have a long way to go if they want to hang with Pomona who beat the Wildcats 34-3 Friday at North Area Athletic Complex. The Panthers attacked A-West early and never let the Wildcats in the game as they improved to 4-1 on the season. Pomona’s only loss was a 21-12 defeat at Valor Christian in Week 1. Since that loss the Panthers have looked like the best team in the state. A-West won its first two games of the season but has since dropped three straight league games. Still, the Wildcats (2-3, 0-3 in league) look like they have the right guy in Pyatt, and they look to get their season back on track when they play Columbine Friday at 7 p.m. at NAAC. Pomona (4-1, 3-0 in league) will play red-hot Bear Creek Friday at 4 p.m. at Lakewood Memorial Field.
Five aerial TDs fuel D’Evelyn
D’Evelyn responded to three straight tough losses with a thrilling 34-33 victory over Lewis-Palmer Friday at Trailblazer Stadium. The Jaguars fell behind 19-7 in the first quarter and were behind 26-14 at halftime. But behind junior quarterback Owen Burke and his touchdown passes to junior Cameron Brown D’Evelyn rallied by outscoring Lewis-Palmer 20-6 in the second half. D’Evelyn senior running back Ian Lewis also rushed for 114 yards and senior linebacker David Kimmey recorded 10 tackles in the victory. The Jaguars (2-3) will play Conifer Friday at 4 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium.
Farmers earn win with huge fourth quarter
After a 0-0 halftime score Wheat Ridge put it together in the second half to beat Green Mountain 29-20. Defense was the story the first half until the Rams took a 14-7 lead into the fourth quarter. after junior Zach Akau scored a pair of rushing touchdowns. But the Farmers would explode for 22 fourth quarter points to get their record back over .500 as league play approaches. Wheat Ridge (3-2) will play George Washington Thursday at 4 p.m. at All-City
Field. Green Mountain (1-4) has now lost three straight games but will try to get back in the win column against Littleton Friday at 4 p.m. at Littleton Public School Stadium.
Golden gets second huge win of season
All of the sudden Golden football is red hot after beating Lincoln 40-0 Friday at All-City Field. After three straight losses to open their season the Demons have now won back-
to-back games outscoring their opponents 77-0 in the process. Golden junior quarterback Jaxson Meyer was near perfect, going 13-for-17 for 170 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The Demons also had receivers produce big, including senior George Alexeyev who caught six passes for 97 yards and a touchdown. Golden (2-3) has already surpassed the win total of the past two seasons. The Demons play at Aurora Central Friday at 7 p.m.

Bears beat Tigers in battle of Lakewood Bear Creek now 4-1 while Tigers tough-luck losers again By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com LAKEWOOD - It took overtime but Bear Creek beared down and defeated Lakewood 34-33 in the battle for Lakewood Thursday at Jeffco Stadium. The Bears rallied, down 21-17 to start the fourth quarter, and scored 10 points in the fourth quarter and added seven points in overtime behind senior quarterback and senior kicker Travaun Arnold. But dramatic finishes are nothing new to Bear Creek this season. The Bears last three games have been decided by three points or less, including last week’s 42-39 victory over Chatfield. Bear Creek improves to 4-1 on the season and 2-1 in 5A Jeffco. But what makes the Bears’ start to their season even more impressive is the fact that 5A is as good as it has ever been in the history of the league. Pomona and Ralston Valley are both 3-0 in Jeffco and are both top ten teams in the state. And after Bear Creek’s big win voters will now be considering the Bears as a top ten team. Moreover, quality teams like Lakewood and Arvada West are already 0-3 in 5A Jeffco — despite being 2-0 in nonleague action. Also, the Bears are one point away from being a 5-0 instead of a 4-1 team. Bear Creek’s one loss came in a 43-42 defeat to Columbine on Sept. 12. It took a couple of seasons but Bear Creek head coach Zach Morris looks like he has the Bears’ program turned around. Morris has already led the Bears to more victories this season than he had over the past two seasons (2-8 on 2012 and 3-7 in 2013).
Lakewood senior cornerback Anthony Brown played a solid game but his Tigers were defeated 34-33 by a Bear Creek team that was just a little bigger, stronger and faster Thursday at Jeffco Stadium. Photo by Dan Williams Morris took over the Bears’ program in 2012 after longtime head coach Tom Thenell bailed on Bear Creek for Mullen. Three seasons later, the Bears look like an emerging elite team in the state, while Mullen, also a 5A Jeffco team now, is struggling at 2-3. Lakewood now feels like tough-luck
losers, yet still competitive in 5A Jeffco. All three of the Tigers’ losses have come within one score and two of those three losses have come by just a single point (42-41 loss to Chatfield on Sept. 12). Lakewood senior running back’s Marty Gonzalez and Jared Taha both rushed for over a 100 yards but two Tiger intercep-
tions came back to haunt Lakewood down the stretch. The Tigers (2-3) will play Ralston Valley Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex. Bear Creek will face its biggest test of the season when they play Pomona Friday at 4 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium.
Jeffco shines at Dave Sanders 48 boys and girls’ teams participate at invitational By Daniel Williams dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com LITTLETON - Once again the Dave Sanders Invitational brought 48 of the best crosscountry teams in the state. However, the teams at the top of the final standings looks a little different than in recent past as Cherry Creek and Fort Collins dominated both the boys and girls races Friday at Clement Park. Fort Collins’ boys dominated their race with a team score of 66 and an average time of 16:56.60. Fo-Co’s girls then finished third with 127 points and an average time of 20:03.80. Cherry Creek won the girls’ varsity race with an impressive score of 71, 40 points better than second place Mountain Vista. The Bruins recorded an average score of 19:50.60. Mountain Vista finished second in the girl’s race and third in the boy’s race, and
Palmer Ridge finished second in the boy’s race and fourth in the girl’s race. And while all of those non-Jeffco schools dominated the team aspect of the invitational there was several local top finishers. Palmer Ridge senior Eric Hamer was the fastest boy at the meet recording a swift 15:54.00. Pomona senior Marcelo Laguera finished second with a time of 16:12.00. The Panthers had another top ten finisher in Gavin Mason who finished eighth with a time of 16:55.00. The pair from Pomona helped the Panthers finish ninth overall. Pomona was also the only school other than Fort Collins to have two male runners finish in the top eight. Arvada West also represented Jeffco well as two of its male runners had top 13 finished. Wildcats senior Joseph Horen finished 12th and sophomore Max Sevcik finished 13th and the duo helped A-West finish seventh as a team. In the girl’s race Wheat Ridge finished sixth as a team as four of its girls finished in the top 49. The Farmers had an average time of 20:51.60 after getting solid efforts from Amy

Sister’s Cameryn and Saylor Sargent both paced the Rams finishing first and second.
Other schools that didn’t fare well as a team but had good individual efforts include Holy Family whose Isabelle Hren who finished 21:27.00. In the boy’s race Holy Family’s Ryan Wells finished first on his team with a 18:26.00 time.

Wheat Ridge beats Green Mountain Soccer highlights: Golden records 16 shots on goal but still falls at Littleton By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com LAKEWOOD - Wheat Ridge officially went streaking after its 2-1 overtime victory over Green Mountain Friday at Lakewood Memorial Field. The Farmers won their third straight game and their second straight 4A Jeffco win which now puts them back in the mix for a league title. The loss for Green Mountain nearly buries its hopes for a league title as they have now dropped three straight games, including back-to-back league matches. The Rams have now won only one of their last five games after starting their season after being undefeated through the first four games of the year. But if Wheat Ridge wants to have a chance at a league title the team will need some help from a league foe. D’Evelyn, who beat the Farmers 2-1 on Sept. 18, is a perfect 4-0 in 4A Jeffco. Wheat Ridge (6-2-1, 2-2 in league) will play at Golden Thursday at 6 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex. Green Mountain (4-5-1, 1-2-1 in league) will play Conifer Thursday at 4 p.m. at LMF. Demons have all 16 shots stopped Golden had its four game winning streak snapped by Littleton after a 3-0 loss Saturday at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. The Demons were shocked by a Lions in a match that could shape the way the league championship plays out. But it wasn’t for lack of effort. Golden created 16 shots on goal and on a few different occasions looked like they were going to get on the scoreboard. But Littleton goaltender Theo Jensen was a wall, stopping everything kicked near his goal.

Photo by Dan Williams The Demons are still in position to compete for a 4A Jeffco league title but they will need help. Golden (7-3, 3-1 in league) will play Wheat Ridge Thursday at 6 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex. Mustangs suddenly catch fire After five straight losses to open the season, Ralston Valley has now won its last four games. The Mustangs latest victim was George Washington who they beat 10-2 Friday at North Area Athletic Complex. Ralston Valley scored eight second half
goals to break open a match that the Mustangs led just 2-1 at halftime. The Mustangs started their season with five losses but all five were one goal matches. Perhaps all of those close losses has Ralston Valley battle-tested as they are now in the middle of league play. Ralston Valley (4-5, 2-0 in 5A Jeffco) will play Chatfield Tuesday at 6 p.m. at NAAC. Eagles look forward to big match Faith Christian worked its way out of a three game funk with a 3-0 victory Thursday at The Academy High School.

The Eagles had went winless over their previous three game (two losses and a tie) but got a good win over a quality Wildcats team. Faith Christian will now get into the heart of their league schedule which includes a meeting with Kent Denver Wednesday at Faith Christian High School. Kent Denver is 3-0 in league (8-1 overall) and regarded as one of the best teams in the state. The winner of the match will hold first place in 3A Region 6 league standings.
SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 29, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Travel plans could be interrupted by the re-emergence of a workplace problem that was never quite fully resolved. Deal with it at once, and then take off on that well-deserved trip. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Aspects favor cultural activities for sensuous Bovines. Attend a concert or an art show. Better yet, create something yourself (a poem, perhaps?), and dedicate it to someone special. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Respect any doubts you might now be feeling about a new situation. They could be reflecting your inner awareness that some essential information might be missing. Check it out.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) It’s important to start the new month with as clean a slate as possible. Either complete all those unfinished tasks or pass them on to others who would be more than happy to take them on. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) This is a good time to cut down on expenses and tame that urge to splurge. Applying some financial discipline now could help the Big Cat ride out a possible monetary crunch later on. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Money matters are dominant this week. Recheck your accounts and make sure they’re up-to-date. Also, pay more attention to personal issues before they become major problems. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You might be tempted to employ the same tactics as your adversary, but that could backfire. Better to use the same balanced approach that has worked for you before and could again. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A changing workplace environment could stir up confusion as well as apprehension. Best to ignore the rumors and get the facts. You could find that the changes bring positive elements. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Communication is easier this week with people ready and eager to hear what you have to say. Also, check for possible technical problems before you start your new project. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Aspects favor change for the usually traditional Goat. Opening your mind to possibilities you had ignored could lead you to make decisions you once considered improbable. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Making personal as well as professional adjustments to changing conditions might be easier with more information explaining the “hows” and “whys” of the situations in question. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) With a growing tide of positive reactions to buoy your confidence, this could be the right time to put the finishing touches to your new project and get it well and truly launched.

Lakewood, Thornton shine at Think Pink Meet Tigers coach Mary Beth Artemis preaches toughness in leotards By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia.com LAKEWOOD - Lakewood gymnastics coach Mary Beth Artemis is a breast cancer survivor. She beat cancer nearly 10 years ago and ever since that time her Tigers’ teams have beat nearly everyone they have faced as Lakewood gymnastics has become an institution. And 10 years later her teams are still proving they are among the state’s best as the Tigers took second place in the 9th Annual Think Pink Meet which they hosted Saturday at Lakewood High School. The Tigers finished with an impressive team score of 171.025, less than two points shy of first place Thornton who finished with 173.000 points. While this particular meet has become a prep classic, especially this year as Lakewood, Thornton, Rocky Mountain and Thompson Valley are all considered to be top teams in the state, there is more meaning to the event than just the final scores. “As a cancer survivor, I don’t want my girls to be afraid of breast cancer,” Artemis said. ”I want them to feel confident when they and their mothers go for checkups and exams.” That mindset has carried over to the Tigers’ mentality and toughness as a team. Lakewood has one of best mixes of upperclassmen and young talent in the state. Rocky Mountain (165.575), Thompson Valley (165.200) and Rampart (163.643) finished third, fourth and fifth, and Lakewood and Thornton also had second teams that both produced at least 130 teams points. “We are very proud of what this meet has become over the years. We get some really great programs who continue to come and support this very meaningful meet,” Artemis said. Lakewood’s Hannah Roshak stood out as one of the meet’s best individual efforts as she finished second in the uneven bars and fifth in both the floor and vault. Delaney Ross-Shannon also shined for the Tigers finishing fourth on the balance beam. Thornton’s Sierra Kiryla finished second in the vault, ninth in the floor and 10th on the balance beam. And teammate Sara Michie took third on the balance beam.
