Perlmutter captures fifth term By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com In the race for Congressional District 7 seat, voters opted to retain consistency, electing incumbent Ed Perlmutter for a fifth term. “Everybody at every level worked so hard to help us win a fifth time,” Perlmutter said during a speech at the state’s Democratic party on Election Night. “Tonight is going to be a long night for some … we’re going to pull it out, we’re going to win these things and we’re going to hold the senate.” Upon the release of preliminary results Perlmutter was in the lead with approximately 54.38 percent or 87,533 votes. Recently named the “Legislator of the Year” by the National Association for Housing and Redevelopment Officials for his work in affordable housing, Perlmutter is no stranger to the legislature. With roots in Jefferson County, he said he is well accustomed to needs of Jeffco constituents. During his last 4 terms, the congressman has been active in the building of a new Veterans Administration hospital in Aurora;
he supports immigration reform and has done work in ensuring mental heath care is available for veterans. “What it really comes down to is helping the hardworking people in the middle, that’s what the seventh congressional district is,” he said. His opponent, Don Ytterberg, declined to comment. Ytterberg began his campaign in January. Prior to the start of this campaign, he served as both the chairman for the Jefferson County Republican Party and the vice chairman for the Colorado Republican Party. He ran for the state senate in 2008, losing to the Summit County Sen. Dan Gibbs. A small business owner, Ytterberg is supportive of the industry and currently owns Arvada-based Advanced Surface Technologies, 6155 W. 54th Ave, a small nickel-plating business. He lives in Golden with his wife, Kim. “There are so many more things we still have to accomplish — comprehensive immigration reform, protecting Social Security and Medicare, and ensuring equal pay for equal work,” Perlmutter said. Perlmutter currently resides in Arvada with his wife, Nancy, and family of six grown children and two dogs. “For me, it’s a privilege to represent you, the people of the seventh congressional district, you people of the state of Colorado, in the congress of the United States of America,” he said, “and it will be a privilege for me to again represent you for a fifth time — as your neighbor and your voice.”

Danielson wins House seat By Hugh Johnson
WHEAT RIDGE TRANSCRIPT
‘Everybody at every level worked so hard to help
Jessie Danielson was elected state representative for House District 24 last Tuesday, defeating former council member Joseph DeMott. Danielson carried 53 percent of the vote to DeMott’s 47 percent. Danielson is a current resident of Wheat Ridge who grew up in Ault, Colorado. This race marks her first entrance into the political realm though she served as a volunteer at CU Boulder during her time as a student and has since worked for NARAL Pro-
Choice Colorado and America Votes. This race materialized when incumbent Sue Schafer announced that she would not run for a fourth term, opting to spend more time with her family. Danielson and Edgewater City Councilman Kristian Teegardin ran against each other in the Democratic primary, where
Danielson won 56 percent to 44 percent. Danielson thanked her volunteers for their efforts and trust in a recent post the “Jessie Danielson for Colorado” Facebook page. “I want to thank the voters of HD-24 for choosing me to serve as their next representative at the state Capitol,” she said. “It is an honor, and I will work hard for the people in this district and across our state to build a better Colorado. After many months of hard work, all the efforts of our volunteers, the support of our donors and the faith of my family and friends, the voters have put their trust in me. I will never stop working to uphold that trust.”
Voters defeat city ballot questions 38th Avenue modification fails By Hugh Johnson
Contributing Writer Wheat Ridge rejected both city ballot issues on the Nov. 4 election — opting against raising the sales and use tax by 1 percent and declining to widen the 38th Avenue corridor. Ballot issue 2A asked the city to raise sales and use tax by 1 percent for an extra $6.4 million in the first fiscal year. The issue failed 41.92 percent to 58.08 percent. Issue 2B would have changed the street width designations for sections of 38th Avenue. The street would have been 47 feet from Upham Street to High Court, 41 feet from High Court to 230 feet east of High Court and
from that point until Marshall Street the width would have been 35 feet. The issue failed 42.7 percent to 57.3 percent. For issue 2A, city staff had planned to seek a bond for the funds so to address improvement and maintenance issues more quickly. The city partnered with public affairs firm Sewald Hanfling to gauge public interest on the issue. Keating Research even conducted a survey of 603 people asking residents how they felt about a potential tax in-
crease. The results showed that a majority of those surveyed were in favor of an increase. Issue 2B also failed, leaving questions about how the vote will impact the 38th Avenue Corridor’s design. The 38th Avenue Corridor project has been at the forefront of the city’s efforts to enhance economic vitality by attracting businesses and people to Wheat Ridge. Part of Entelechy’s — the firm designing the corridor — design called for amenity zones that included bike racks, chairs, pedestrian lighting and planters. Bulb outs were also planned for 38th, which would extend the curb into the street at certain intersections allowing for chairs and tables to be placed in the extended space. The increased width would have also accommodated on-street parking on both sides of the road from Upham to High Court.

State Senate control changes hands Colorado House remains under Democratic control By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bad Election Day turned into a worse week for Democrats as vote tallies from an Adams County state Senate race resulted in Democrats losing power of that legislative chamber. In Senate District 24, Republican Beth Martinez-Humenik defeated former Democratic state Rep. Judy Solano by 876 votes in a contest that wasn’t officially decided until Nov. 7, three days after the election. The loss means that Republicans, who entered Election Day as a one-vote minority in the Senate, now control the chamber, 18-17. The results mean that Sen. Bill Cadman (R-Colorado Springs) soon will become the next Senate president, taking the job away from Morgan Carroll (D-Aurora). “The Republican Senate Caucus is eager to move Colorado forward on so many important issues, and away from the extraordinary divisiveness of recent years,” Cadman said through an emailed statement on Nov. 8. Martinez-Humenik will take over the seat that was vacated by Lois Tochtrop, a Democrat from Thornton who was termlimited. Control of the Senate ultimately hinged on the results from the SD 24 race, but other races also proved important in deciding the chamber’s balance of power. Four contests in Jefferson County re-
sulted in incredibly tight races that were not resolved on Election Night. Two Democratic incumbents, Jeanne Nicholson of Senate District 16 and Rachel Zenzinger of SD 19 lost their seats to Republican challengers Tim Neville and Laura Woods. Democratic Sens. Andy Kerr of Lakewood and Cheri Jahn of Wheat Ridge barely held on against challengers Tony Sanc h e z and Larry Queen. The two seats Democrats lost were washed out by Democratic pickups of seats they had held until last year. Democratic state Rep. Leroy Garcia defeated incumbent Republican George Rivera in Pueblo while former state Rep. Mike Merrifield unseated Republican Sen. Bernie Herpin in Colorado Springs. Rivera and Herpin won their seats last year during recall elections in which voters ousted Democratic incumbents for their support of gun-control legislation. Meanwhile, Democrats held on to the House of Representatives, an outcome that was in doubt throughout the week. Rep. Daniel Kagan (D-Cherry Hills Village) eked out a victory to retain his seat, which helped to cement the Democratic majority in the House. Kagan’s is one of the most evenly divided districts in the state. But Democrats never imagined they would be sweating out results in Adams
County days after the election. There, Democratic Rep. Joe Salazar of Thornton edged out challenger Carol Becker. And, in a surprise to many, Democratic Rep. Jenise May lost her seat to JoAnn Windholz. May sits on the powerful Joint Budget Committee and was selected as chairwoman to the House Majority Project to elect new Democratic state representatives. Democrats suffered several other key losses on Election Night, including the U.S. Senate race and down-ticket races for attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer.
GOP wave `smaller here’
House Speaker Mark Ferrandino (DDenver) said he expected Democrats to lose a couple of seats in the chamber. But when it was all said and done, he was pleased that the party kept control of the House. Ferrandino, who is term-limited and won’t be returning next year, said Democratic legislators were able to hold on to their seats in spite of a national wave that swept Republicans into power in many offices across the country. “The national wave was huge, bigger than anyone expected going into Election Day,” he said. “If that was the case, that would have made the wave higher in Colorado, but the reality is it was smaller here.” Ferrandino does not believe the results marked a referendum on Democraticbacked policies that the Legislature enacted in 2013 — including gun control, an election-law overhaul and civil unions. Ferrandino pointed to Kagan, who ran
on his support for background checks on all gun sales and transfers in a tough district. “If that was something that wasn’t supported, he wouldn’t have won that race,” Ferrandino said. Kagan said the losses of Democratic seats had more to do with voter resentment of politicians overall, rather than frustration over one party in particular. “I think it’s the result of the wave of dissatisfaction with government generally that is causing a lot of the people to say, ‘I don’t care who you are. I’m getting you out of here.’ ” Kerr said he doesn’t expect lawmakers to change the way they go about business, just because of the tightening of control of power in the Legislature. “Everyone looks at one or two bills each session and says, ‘Look how divisive the Legislature is,” Kerr said. “The vast majority of the work we do flies under the radar and is nonpartisan.” State Rep. Frank McNulty (R-Highlands Ranch) said Republicans won big on Nov. 4 because voters were “generally dissatisfied with the direction the Democrats were taking our state.” But McNulty, who is also term-limited and won’t be returning to the Capitol next year, thinks that one person in particular won big as a result of a divided Legislature — Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper. “By definition anything that makes it to his desk is going to be bipartisan,” McNulty said. “Hickenlooper is the chief beneficiary of the politics that will play out in the Legislature and he knows that and his staff knows that.”

Voters elect to retain ed board incumbent By Crystal Anderson canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Jefferson County voters opted for consistency, electing to keep incumbent board member Jane Goff on the State Board of Education. “I am pleased with the turnout,” Goff said. “I think it’s a great reminder that we all have some work to do.” As the election results rolled in Nov. 4,
Goff retained a 5 percent lead over opponent Laura Boggs with 53.42 percent or 136,292 votes. Goff noted her opponent’s results and said she’s ready to narrow her focus and move forward in Goff the education race. Boggs served on the Jeffco school board from 2009 to 2013. “We have to keep talking,” Goff said. “I am equally interested in moving some
things along in the area of early childhood and high school opportunities for kids.” Elected to the state board in 2008, Goff has worked to implement policies around the state’s new standards, the Colorado Academic Standards, accountability, having balanced assessments and transparency. She’s served on several boards and committees including, the State Advisory Committee for Gifted and Talented, the Colorado State Accountability Network. Prior to sitting on the board, Goff was a Jefferson County School District teacher for 34 years.
“We really need to keep working to make sure that our pre-graduates are really ready to look at a path, feel secure for where they want to go and that the students have more of a voice in their education.” Boggs said she was running to see more attention statewide on academic achievement, local control, choice and student data protection. A mother of two public school students and daughter of an educator, Boggs passion for education is clear. Boggs could not be reached for comment.

Impact of Latino vote debated Republicans say they have made progress with the demographic By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com During a Nov. 4 re-election victory speech, Republican Congressman Mike Coffman thanked his supporters in two languages. Coffman talked about how important it was to have taken part in a recent allSpanish debate with Andrew Romanoff, his challenger in the 6th Congressional District race. The district is one of the most diverse in the country and has a large Latino population. “Because for me it is very important to be able to share my vision to create more jobs and more opportunities to everyone in Colorado,” Coffman said in Spanish to a cheering crowd of supporters after defeating Romanoff decisively on Election Night. Coffman has been studying Spanish with a tutor since his district was remapped to include more Latinos in 2012. Coffman’s near double-digit victory over Romanoff in what was supposed to be one of the closest races in the country is leaving Republicans hopeful that they finally have turned the corner in wooing a demographic that has largely rejected GOP policies — Latino voters. “Times have changed and our party has changed and Mike Coffman represents the very best of a Republican who can run in
a competitive district while making the effort to gain the confidence of his constituents,” said state Republican Party Chairman Ryan Call. “I hope every Republican candidate will take a lesson from the efforts of Mike Coffman to listen to the people he represents.” Although Call did not have any Latino voter data available at the time of his comments, he and other Republicans are confident that they were able to make inroads w i t h Hispanic voters this election cycle. They also point to the win by Cory Gardner in the U.S. Senate race as evidence that they did well with all voting demographics. But is it that Republicans have finally started to win over Latino voters — or is it that the GOP benefited from a lack of enthusiasm on the part of Latinos on Election Day? Patty Kupfer of America’s Voice, a Denver-based immigrant advocacy group, said exit polling numbers do not back Republicans’ claims that they made inroads with Latino voters. Kupfer pointed to an America’s Voicesponsored exit poll that shows Latino voters backed Democratic Sen. Mark Udall over Gardner 71 percent to 23 percent. Latinos supported Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper over Republican challenger Bob Beauprez by a 70 percent to 28 percent

margin, according to exit poll findings. “Latinos who voted were not voting Republican,” Kupfer said. National exit polls conducted by Edison Research back Kupfer’s assessment. Latinos voted for Democrats over Republicans by a 63 percent to 35 percent margin. Latino support for Democrats was higher this year than during the 2010 midterm elections, according to the exit poll’s findings. If that’s the case, then why did so many Democratic candidates struggle in Colorado and across the country on Nov. 4, considering how reliably Democratic of a voting bloc Hispanics have become over the years. “Maybe Latino turnout was not as high as we would have hoped,”Kupfer said. “There’s just a real sense that it was hard to get people excited this year.” Latino enthusiasm was a problem for Democrats leading up to Election Day. Kupfer said Latino voters made up about 8 percent of the votes cast in 2010. When all votes are counted this year, she expects that number to drop a full percentage point. America’s Voice also took part in a national poll of Latino voters who were registered, but who did not vote. She said the poll found that the vast majority of Latinos who did not vote were upset with President Barack Obama’s decision to hold off on taking executive action on immigration issues until after the mid-term elections. “He made the decision based on keeping the Senate in Democrats’ hands... and look at where that got us,” Kupfer said. Had the president gone forward with
executive action on immigration, the issue would not have played well in Southern states — where Senate Democratic hopefuls lost anyway. But many political observers believed the issue would have helped Udall by driving up Latino voter enthusiasm here. State Democratic Party Chairman Rick Palacio said he was “equally as disappointed in the president” as were Latinos over the president’s immigration punt. But Palacio doesn’t think lack of enthusiasm was the issue. “I saw Latino voters come out in favor of our Democrats and it showed at the polls,” he said. “Very clearly, Democrats are on the side of immigration reform while Republicans continue to stall on this issue.” Democratic leaders acknowledge that they were swept by a Republican wave this year that they believe will not be present two years from now. Democrats are hopeful that Latinos will continue to vote Democratic and that their influence will increase in 2016, a presidential-year election in which minority voter turnout will be much higher than it was last week. But Ali Pardo, the GOP’s Hispanic press secretary, said Democrats are just trying to make themselves feel better after a rough night on Nov. 4. She said Republicans have made gains among Latino voters after having been long-criticized by Hispanics for ignoring their issues and concerns. “The Democrats can try to spin it anyway they want, but they’ve noticed,” she said. “We weren’t in the (Hispanic) community the way we should have been before, but we are now.”

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

JEFFCO SCHOOL BOARD ON THE RECORD IJefferson County Board of Education discussed the following legislation during its Aug. 28 regular business meeting. Board members in attendance were President Ken Witt, First Vice President Julie Williams, Second Vice President Lesley Dahlkemper, Secretary John Newkirk and Treasurer Jill Fellman.
Charter schools
The board of education approved one of two charter school applications. In a 3-2 vote (Newkirk, Williams, Witt) the board approved the Golden View Classical Academy application. The school was approved on the conditions that the applicant would resolve inconsistencies
around waivers and details in the insurance model. The minority members (Dahlkemper and Fellman) along with several community members stated they were concerned about the school’s relationship with Hillsdale College, calling it a slippery slope in the separation of church and state. In an unanimous vote, the board denied the Alexandria School of Innovation application, as there wasn’t a need for it in the district at this time.
Student achievement
The board of education listened to four elementary school principals and achievement directors, in an effort to learn and
understand how to raise the proficiency reading level of third-graders. The presentation talked about how every child is a reader and a writer, targeting the needs of the individual student, and focusing on student successes. The board asked questions around how reading levels predict assessment outcomes, what’s not working, what programs should be implemented. The board will hear a presentation from more school administrators on what challenges they face at the Nov. 20 meeting.
Budget outreach
The board of education heard a presen-
Griffin returns as clerk and recorder Rosier reelected to county commission By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Faye Griffin, county commissioner for District 1, was elected to serve as Jeffco Clerk and Recorder; a change initiated by Griffin stemmed from a desire to finish her nearly 40 years with Jeffco in the office in which she first began a career. “I am going to retire sometime, I just don’t know when,” Griffin said in September. “I am also torn by leaving this office because I enjoy being commissioner.” Griffin did not comment on her win Tuesday Night. In the past, she has been criticized for her habit of leaving office early with critics saying it provides a way for her fellow party members to gain access to elected office.
Aurora
“I hate to think it’s a manipulation of the system,” Griffin said in response to the criticism. “I thought, OK, I started my career in clerk and recorder’s office; I’ll end my career in clerk and recorder.” Only halfway into her second term as county commissioner, now that she is elected as clerk and recorder, Griffin’s replacement will be decided by a Republican vacancy committee. Griffin was elected twice as clerk and recorder from 1998 to 2006 and then ran for county treasurer which she won for a four-year term. Two years into that term she left the position and was elected as county commissioner where Republican Tim Kauffman was selected to fill her remaining term as treasurer. The Jeffco race for county commissioner produced knowledgeable candidates including incumbent Don Rosier and newcomers John Flerlage and Greg Standley. Rosier won the race by more than 7 percent. He was optimistic about the

uncertified results and said he hopes to move on for a second term. “I just feel very humbled by the number of individuals that voted for me a second time,” he said. In August, Rosier stated that although he can be abrasive at times, he finds the job as county commissioner a privilege he takes seriously. “I have the highest and best interest of all residents,” Rosier said. “I’m here for them — I’m not here for me.” Rosier’s Democratic opponent John Flerlage admits defeat and stated he already called Rosier to congratulate him. “It looks like the Democrats are getting killed,” Flerlage said. “It’s over.” Flerlage has been active in Jefferson County’s political scene for over a decade, serving at the precinct level and as treasurer for House District 28. He is more known for his run for congress in 2010 in Colorado’s 6th District, which went to Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman.
tation on the community outreach portion for the 2015-2016 budget cycle. During the presentation, the board discussed using a budget survey, with 10 questions regarding both the community and district’s budget needs and desires. The survey questions will be reviewed at the Nov. 20 meeting. The board plans on launching the survey in mid-late January. The next Jefferson County Board of Education meeting will be 5:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 20, at the Jefferson County Education Center, 1829 Denver West Drive, Golden. — Compiled by Crystal Anderson

GERARD HEALEY President MIKKEL KELLY Publisher and Editor GLENN WALLACE Assistant Editor
Writing for peace is global effort for students “Words have the power to spread awareness, hope, and inspiration to people who would have otherwise despaired.” Is this wisdom from Mahatma Gandhi? Albert Einstein? Martin Luther King, Jr.? No, these words are from Jordan Dalton, a 16-year-old high school student from Indiana, one of the 2013 winners of the Young Writers Contest conducted annually by the international organization Writing for Peace. Fort Collins-headquartered Writing for Peace is a now-global organization that began with a local Young Writer’s Contest in 2011, holding its first nationwide contest in 2012. By the 2014 contest, Writing for Peace has received submissions from students in 24 countries, including India, the Netherlands, Bangladesh, Great Britain, and the Philippines, as well as Vietnam, Pakistan, Malaysia, Macedonia, and the United Arab Emirates. Sponsorships from educational institutions such as Colgate University help produce, “DoveTales: An International Journal of the Arts,” which attracts literary submissions and student writing from around the world. I am honored to serve as a Board Member for this organization, and you may have read about Writing for Peace before in this space. We work to cultivate empathy through education and creative writing to develop a worldwide foundation of compassion.
That’s one of the reasons I was deeply gratified this year when 17-year-old Malala Yousefzai of Pakistan became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, sharing the award with Kailash Satyarthi of India. After a Taliban gunman boarded her school bus in 2012 and shot her in the head, Malala made a remarkable recovery and continues to advocate for girls’ rights, becoming one of the world’s most recognizable voices for both education and peace. Here at home, young people like Cassidy Cole of Denver are confident that they too can change the world with their words. Cassidy, an 8th grade student when she took third place in the 2014 Young Writers Contest fiction category, says she uses her empathy as a compass, “wishing to understand a bewildering world.” Nneoma Ike-Njoku, then 18 and a second-place finisher in 2013, describes her writing as an idea that “becomes a daughter cell, actively dividing into legion.” Nneoma hails from Mararaba, Nasarawra
State, Nigeria – a country where dozens of kidnapped schoolgirls still remain missing, and where at least 50 students were killed just this week by a suicide bomber during a school assembly. Violence like this is why it’s so important, so urgent for organizations such as Writing for Peace to inspire and guide young writers so that their writing can work toward bringing nations closer to nonviolent conflict resolution and into societies that value human rights. Does this sound too optimistic, too naïve? Without these ideals, we can never hope to accomplish peace, and without the voices of the world’s young people – bold, questioning, and “dividing into legion” – we cannot move forward in empathetic leadership. This kind of leadership is best expressed not only in the words of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, but also in those of Janani Venkatesh, 19, of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India: “I learned many wonderful, bewildering, and shocking things about the world during my research.” And in those of Jordan Dalton: “I’ve come to realize that my work really can make a difference in the world.” Andrea Doray is a writer who believes, as Janani Venkatesh does, that writing for peace connects us with people around the globe. Contact Andrea at a.doray@andreadoray.com.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
What do you do to stay in shape during the holidays? With the holiday season comes parties, rich foods and delicious desserts. It can sometimes be tough to keep the pounds off, so we asked people at the City Park Recreation Center in Westminster what they do to stay in shape during the holidays.
I walk in the pool against the current for 45 minutes four times a week and I’ve lost 34 pounds. Neil Minden
I don’t go to parties on an empty stomach and I always leave my potluck leftovers at the party. Jackie Bowers
I drink a lot of water, especially before, during and after meals. And when it comes to a buffet, I eat just one of each thing. Lisa Barcelona I do the same thing that I always do, which is walking 30 minutes a day and doing stretching for 30 minutes. Loretta Flom

November 13, 2014
The chatter after the storm Well, the voters have spoken. And you know what they said? They said “shut up. All of you!” Seriously, I’m starting to think the day after the election is my second favorite day of television all year long, right behind the first day of the NCAA basketball tournament — or maybe that day every Fall when NBC announces that this year’s attempt at resurrecting the career of one of their former stars has failed and they’ve cancelled the show (Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry/Bradley Whitford, Lisa Kudrow, Michael J Fox, Sean Hayes ... it’s just kinda comfortingly predictable). I would like to suggest that some smart politico should do a study asking “at what point do political ads stop making a difference — or have the opposite effect than their intent?” Because for me, this election season lasted about six weeks too long, and a lot of money was wasted. At any rate, the election has been dissected a lot, but I would like to suggest that the message the voters sent was more limited than the pundits are reading. Democrat pundits have been very busy trying to convince themselves that this
was really just a matter of not enough of the right people showing up to vote. I guess it doesn’t occur to them that maybe they didn’t show up because the last two years have proven to be disappointing and, perhaps, shaken their faith in the efficacy of government. Republican pundits, on the other hand, have been every busy gloating that the tsunami that overran the country last Tuesday is indicative of a massive shift in their direction. And, while the numbers do give some credence to that interpretation, I think the reality is a lot more pedestrian. Consider that, in the House of Representatives, more than 95-percent of the
seats stayed in the same hands. And yes, districts are so thoroughly gerrymandered now that competitive races are laughably rare (our own 6th district, which was supposed to be the closest race in the country, was, in the end, a cakewalk for the incumbent). But, even so, if things were so bad or one side’s message so compelling, there should have been some more movement. There wasn’t. What was truly remarkable was how little actual, affirmative vision for the future Republicans put forward, and they still won. It was a cautious strategy, and it worked pretty well, but it doesn’t really provide them much of a platform from which to govern. The voters didn’t vote *for* something, because they weren’t given something to vote for; and I don’t think they voted against the ideological direction of the Senate and the White House—it was only two years ago that they had a chance to vote on ideology, and they re-elected the President by a fairly comfortable margin. I think Americans are pretty tolerant of ideological differences, though they lose their patience when ideology dictates pri-
orities that are out of line with theirs (see: gun control, recalls). What they are not tolerant of, however, is incompetence. It was just eight years ago that the American public sent the same message to Washington in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and the deterioration of Iraq. Last week, with stagnant wages, near record low job force participation, the world falling apart, health care plans being cancelled by the thousands, and a President happier to be photographed on the golf course than in discussions with Congressional leaders, the perception of incompetence spawned a tidal wave. But, that’s nothing to gloat about. Republicans, whether in Congress, the state Senate, or the local school board, heed well the actual message: we’re watching, and your leash is short. Michael Alcorn is a teacher and writer who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. His first novel, “The Accidental Christmas,” will be available on Nov. 2 at MichaelJAlcorn.com.
Down a long dark road my kitten waited Abra and Cadabra were the two golden kittens on the website of Evergreen Animal Protective League. They both had the cutest faces ever. I wanted a kitten badly to go with our other sedentary cat. I wanted energy and playfulness in the house. I’ve had cats all my life and knew how much fun kittens are. And it was my birthday, and even though I was going out to both lunch and dinner with family, like a little kid I needed a present. Something tangible, something special! On my birthday, I filled out an online application to adopt Abra or Cadabra and was contacted the next day. The news was this: someone had adopted Abra, but Cadabra remained. I called and was told I could come see Cadabra. “Honey, “ I told my husband who was deep into reading a Sherlock Holmes book in the late afternoon. “I found my birthday present in Evergreen, a kitten!” “It’s getting dark, could we go tomorrow?” “No, the kitten’s a winner. Her sibling got taken, she’ll be gone if we pause for a
deep breath.” “OK, then, you drive.” No problem. We jumped in my car. The kitten was on Soda Creek Road. I thought I knew where that was, as I lived in Evergreen for 24 years. But I took Highway 65 which goes through Soda Creek development, but it wasn’t the right road. My heart pounded, it was getting darker and darker. “Didn’t you Google it and get the directions?” my husband asked slightly irritated. “No, but I know what to do!” and I drove back to Highway 74, turned north and then left on Bergen Parkway, and then
JEFFCO NEWS IN A HURRY Former sheriff’s deputy pleads guilty to vehicular assault John Anthony Mayns, Jr., of Arvada pleaded guilty to vehicular assault/DUI and First Degree Official Misconduct on Nov. 3. Mayns was arrested on driving under the influence of alcohol and causing a collision that seriously injured Don Meusbum, 48 of Littleton. Mr. Meusbum was transported to a hospital but survived with serious injuries. Mayns did not immediately stop at the scene of the collision but continued on for a short distance. He originally told law enforcement officers that someone else was driving his truck when the collision occurred. Sentencing has been set for Dec. 1, at 10 a.m. John Mayns was an off-duty Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputy at the time of the collision. He is no longer employed by the Sheriff’s Office.

Great American Smokeout Jeffco Public Health is encouraging all tobacco users to quit for good or at least to prepare to quit starting on Thursday, Nov. 20 during the Great American Smokeout and the Jeffco promotion of “Day I Quit” campaign. The campaign will run during November through January and will feature transit, move theatre and online adver-
tisements. Tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of death in the United States and Colorado. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates cigarette smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke causes 480,000 (or 1 in 5) deaths every year in the United States, and for every person who dies from a smoking-related disease, about 30 more people suffer with at least one serious illness from smoking. Colorado offers numerous resources to help you quit smoking or quit using other tobacco products. Visit www.tobaccofreeco.org to learn more or call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669).

right on Soda Creek Rd. Feeling ebullient that I remembered this little mountain road from the past, I felt like I was on an adventure. By now it was completely dark and remote. Rain splashed the windshield. But it was all meant to be. We found the Cat Lodge, a boarding house for cats. The proprietor let us in and we were introduced to Cadabra, a friendly shorthaired kitten with amber eyes. She purred so loud I couldn’t stop smiling as I held her. This all occurred last week and Cadabra, now Maggie is a joy in our home leaping and playing with wadded up paper. Our other cat hisses and hides, but I’m told that’s normal. They already act like a married couple! Beyond this happy personal story,
I want to say is both dogs and cats are coming from other states to be adopted in Colorado. Our kitten came from Kansas. There are many adoption groups helping find homes for animals. I particularly like Evergreen Animal Protective League because when I lost a cat years ago, a neighbor turned him into EAP and I got my beloved cat back. I’m thinking of volunteering for one of these adoption organizations and maybe fostering a dog. I would like to give back. Mary Stobie’s new patchwork memoir You Fall Off, You Get Back On.

Baby on way for actress from Boulder Actress Jessica Biel, who moved to Boulder as a child and grew up there, and her superstar husband, Justin Timberlake, are expecting their first child, according to a story in Us Weekly magazine. According to the story, “Right now they are just enjoying the news for themselves,” one pal tells Us of the “Blunderer” actress, 32, and Timberlake, 33, who dated on and off for five years before getting engaged in January 2012. “They just want a happy baby.” Biel and Timberlake celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary in October. “It’s weird because it feels like almost nothing has changed, yet something that you can’t really describe, or something that isn’t tangible, has changed,” Biel told Ellen DeGeneres of married life after returning from her honeymoon in 2012. “It just feels incredible.” Read more: www.usmagazine.com/ celebrity-moms/news/jessica-biel-is-pregnant-expecting-first-child-with-justintimberlake-2014511#ixzz3IJfIY6Gd.
Colorado Railroad Museum presents new Christmas production
Santa unfashionably early
By Amy Woodward

T
he sound of a silver sleigh bell ringing is heard by those who believe in the magic of Christmas. Do you hear it? For those who have grown out of the childish notion — prepare to be inspired. The Colorado Railroad Museum is presenting a new event that brings to life one of the most popular Christmas stories in modern times; The Polar Express. The museum, which hosts many events throughout the year, has taken this newly installed Christmas production to new heights of imagination by featuring an interactive train ride that pulls visitors into the adventure. “This is a completely new event for us because it’s more of a play,” said Donald Tallman, executive director of the Colorado Railroad Museum. “We are reproducing ‘The Polar Express’ experience.” Unlike other seasonal events at the museum, The Polar Express Train Ride will start at dusk with two additional show times afterward. This allows for a realistic reenactment in which the young protagonist in the 1985 publication of The Polar Express, boards the magical train late at night and finds himself on an enchanted ride to the North Pole to meet the man he was told didn’t exist anymore — Santa Claus. “The ‘Polar Express’ is a perennial favorite,” said Julianne Rist, assistant director of public service for Jefferson County Public Libraries. “It is one of those Christmas stories that is read throughout the year, and always peaks during the holiday season.” Guests who arrive at the museum will be escorted outside to the train yard where one of the museum’s historical train cars, acting as The Polar Express, sits quietly. An actor playing the conductor from the book steps out from the train car and yells; All aboard! A boy dressed in pajamas and a robe appears and the characters act out one of the opening scenes from the book. Once the boy enters the train, the conductor addresses the audience and exclaims All Aboard! — the cue for ticket holders to board the train. Once on board the train, actors play out scenes from the book, complete with dancing and singing chefs who serve hot chocolate and a cookie to passengers. The book is then read aloud and guests are brought to the “North Pole” where Santa appears and gives everyone a silver bell. “You actually get to experience the magic of the train,” said Missy Moore, choreographer for the Polar Express Train Ride. This will be the first time the Polar Express experience will be in Denver, Tallman said with the closest production of this type in Durango. Tickets are on sale, and more than a

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

Hindsight hard on Udall campaign As dust settles, analysis of election begins By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Arm-chair quarterbacking doesn’t only apply to football fans – political junkies were doing it all of last week following the results of Election Day 2014. While many heaped praise on the two big winners from last week – Republican Senator-elect Cory Gardner and Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper – others scrutinized the campaigns of their opponents. Perhaps no campaign has received as much scrutiny for its loss than that of Democratic Sen, Mark Udall, who became the
first incumbent senator to lose in Colorado since 1978. Udall focused much of his campaign on women’s issues in an attempt to define Gardner as an out-of-touch extremist who supports personhood efforts and who wants to limit the amount of control women have over their bodies. For months, Udall television ads attacked Gardner on this issue – perhaps to the detriment of his own campaign. “Voters saw through the negative, downright dishonest line of attack that Mark Udall and his supporters chose to base his campaign on,” said state Republican Party Chairman Ryan Call. “Some of the ads at the end almost became a parody of themselves.” Independent political analyst Eric Son-
A BIG THANKS FROM THE ARVADA COMMUNITY FOOD BANK We would like to thank all the individuals, businesses and organizations who supported the 2014 Inaugural Top Hats & Ball Caps. With your help, we raised over $53,000 for our programs. We could not have done it without you.
dermann thinks the Udall campaign did itself a disservice by spending so much time attacking Gardner over women’s issues and not spending enough time talking about his own biography. “Where was Udall the mountain climber?” Sondermann said, referring to Udall being a passionate outdoors lover, something that could have resonated with Coloradans. Worse, Sondermann said, was that Udall didn’t seem to be having a good time. “He just seemed an unhappy, even dour kind of warrior,” Sondermann said. “He did not let his personality come through. Either that or the years in Washington have worn him down.” “He just looked put upon while Gardner was the upbeat, youthful candidate.” Gardner had his own problems during the campaign. The Gardner narrative the Udall campaign was trying to paint was effective early on, which often put the congressman on the defensive on women’s issues during the debates. Gardner did not always handle those questions well, particularly when he was trying to explain the difference between his support of a federal personhood bill and his opposition of a state effort. He also seemed vulnerable on issues like immigration and climate change. But none of those issues stuck to the affable Gardner, who managed to smile and keep his high-octane energy throughout the campaign. Gardner benefited from a Republican wave that swept Republicans into offices across the nation. And because of that, Gardner absolutely had to win this race, Sondermann said. “The Cory Gardner win at least let Republicans live to fight another day in Colorado,” he said. “Had that seat not been won, they would have been a largely moribund party for years to come.” Sondermann said Republicans still have issues to deal with going forward, such as inner-party divisions and a need to work on wooing minority voters, especially Latinos. But the win keeps them going here for a while.
“If you don’t win with your best candidate in the best year after decade-long losing streak, that party could have spiraled downward,” Sondermann said. Not all was bad for Democrats following the results from Election Day. Hickenlooper – who was trailing in his re-election bid to former Congressman Bob Beauprez for much of the night – ended up winning his race by a slightly larger percentage than that of Gardner’s. In spite of the national wave and relentless attacks on his leadership, Hickenlooper won while many other Democratic gubernatorial candidates across the country did not. “Hickenlooper had just enough crossover appeal by virtue of not being such a down-the-line party loyalist that he was able to survive this kind of a wave,” Sondermann said. Meanwhile, Beauprez may have run too cautious of a campaign throughout the summer — perhaps piling on too heavily in the final weeks, Sondermann said. Toward the end of the campaign, Beauprez hit Hickenlooper hard on public safety issues and received criticism for invoking the murder of Department of Correction chief Tom Clements into the campaign. “Beauprez fumbled the ball at the end,” Sondermann said. “His closing message was completely off-kilter, deciding to close the campaign with this weird message about crime and mayhem running rampant on the streets if Hickenlooper wins.” State Democratic Party Chairman Rick Palacio said Colorado bucked the national trend with Hickenlooper’s victory. “I wouldn’t characteristic what happened in Colorado as part of a GOP wave,” Palacio said. “We fared quite a bit better than other states. John Hickenlooper won quite handily given everything else that was going on.” But Call thinks a lot of good came out of the Nov. 4 results for his party. “Republicans made historic gains around the country and in Colorado, reversing a trend we have been seeing in our state over the last number of years,” Call said.

Voters support open negotiation Prop 104 passes easily, other state measures fail By Mikkel Kelly
mkelly@coloradocommunitymedia.com Voters signaled a want for greater transparency in school board business by passing Proposition 104 — the one of four statewide ballot questions to garner a green light on Election Day. Based on the uncertified results, Proposition 104 was headed for victory by a 2-to-1 margin as returns poured in the evening of Nov. 4, and as of the day after, the unofficial count yielded 69 percent in favor to 30 percent opposed. Adams County District 50 Superintendent Pamela Swanson said, “I am in favor of transparency as long as we have a level playing field.” She said she is optimistic how the measure will work as long as the interpretations of the statute are level. At its core, Proposition 104 would “re-

quire that local school boards or their representatives negotiate collective bargaining agreements in open meetings,” as highlighted in the 2014 State Ballot Information Booklet, known as the “blue book.” Proponents support the measure as a way to ensure greater oversight of school board work in negotiations. On the other side, opponents argue that contract issues can be sensitive and difficult and are better handled in the private settings of executives sessions. “I think the time has come, in essence, for government associations to have to do their negotiations in public, just as they have to deliberate in a public setting. So I think it a significant plus for taxpayers,” said Republican Kevin McCasky, president of Jeffco EDC (Economic Development Corporation) and a former Jefferson County commissioner. Jane Urschel, deputy director of the Colorado Association of School Boards, said, “I am not surprised. I think what happened is most districts do not bargain, so it seems logical to do this board work in public.”
Other state questions Amendment 68 failed by a margin of 71 percent to 28 percent based on unofficial Wednesday morning results. The measure would have allowed casino gambling at horse racetracks in Arapahoe, Mesa and Pueblo counties, with the gambling revenue to support K-12 education in the state. Proponents stated the measure could have provided up to $114.5 million each year for public schools. Opponents countered that the measure would have had a negative effect on surrounding communities and the measure doesn’t give a say to voters whether gambling is allowed in their communities. Amendment 67, dubbed the “personhood” amendment, was not expected to pass by many political experts and lost by a margin of 64 percent to 35 percent based on unofficial results.
Opponents stated the amendment is unnecessary and unclear, allowing government intrusion into personal health care decisions. Proposition 105 was tagged for defeat with a margin of 66 percent to 33 percent. The measure would have required that foods that are genetically modified or produced contain the words “produced with genetic engineering” and require the Colorado Department of Health and Environment to develop regulations and oversee the labeling requirements. Proponents claimed the labeling will increase the availability of information about Colorado’s food supply. Arguments against stated the proposition could result in higher food prices as the cost of labeling and compliance is passed on to consumers.

Bill would ease college planning This fall, a familiar story for high school seniors and their parents is repeating itself across Colorado. From Sterling to Silverton, members of the class of 2015 are making some of their first major life decisions as college application deadlines approach. Which schools should I apply to? Should I stay home or move away? Is a vocational school right for me? Can I afford my top choice? That last question has become more complicated than necessary. Financial aid — through scholarships, grants, and loans — makes college accessible and affordable for many families. In Colorado, hundreds of thousands of students rely on federal student aid every year. Yet, in what has become a backward system, our high school seniors won’t find out how much federal aid they are eligible to receive until well into their second semester. That makes cost and affordability decisions breathtakingly unclear as most college applications are due months earlier. Sen. Lamar Alexander, a Republican from Tennessee, and I have proposed a simple solution: Let families learn how much aid they can expect to receive during their junior year of high school. They’ll be armed with one of the most useful pieces of information they will need at a critical point in their college search. Our plan, the Financial Aid Simplification and Transparency Act, is also known as the FAST Act. Families applying for federal financial aid such as Pell grants and federal student loans are becoming familiar with the FAFSA, or the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It’s a lengthy 108-question form with dozens of pages of instructions — not exactly the most user-friendly form, but still a gateway to college affordability. Unfortunately, even after filling out the FAFSA, students usually don’t find out what grants and loans they can take out until they’ve chosen where and whether to apply. Students and their parents shouldn’t have to wait on pins and needles to find out if they’re going to receive enough aid to pay for college. They also shouldn’t have to spend hours filling out a complicated form just to get to that point. The FAST Act cuts through the red tape to streamline this whole process. In addition to providing families with financial aid eligibility

Misc. Notices a year earlier, it reduces the entire FAFSA form to two questions. Research tells us that simplifying the form will encourage more families to fill it out. It makes aid more predictable and will help encourage more students, as young as middle school, to pursue college. Students will access crucial aid they otherwise would have left on the table, which might be the difference between going to school and not applying at all. Earlier this year we visited colleges and met with students across the state. We heard from students like Joshua Allard at Metro State who didn’t learn he was eligible for a Pell grant until the end of the semester — a semester he wasn’t sure he was going to be able to afford. Front Range Community College President Andy Dorsey told us one of the most common reasons they lose students is financial hardship — an obstacle that could be overcome with earlier notification of aid eligibility and a shorter form. We heard similar stories out of Pueblo Community College, University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, University of Colorado-Denver, Community College of Denver, Colorado State University, and Colorado Mesa University. It’s a commonsense solution that will make college an option for more students. Families won’t lose out on financial aid because they are deterred by the FAFSA’s unnecessary length and complexity, and students will be able to make more informed decisions about their college choices. In today’s global economy, a college education is a prerequisite for many career paths. Reforming the FAFSA and financial aid process will help make college an option for more Coloradans. That means a stronger workforce, and a healthier, more competitive economy for all of us.

Marquez’s three touchdowns delivers win Panthers to face No. 2 Valor Christian By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com LAKEWOOD - Pomona knew it would be tougher a second time around. But the No. 1 Panthers also proved to be the best team in a tough rivalry as they survived No. 2 Columbine 21-14 in the second round of the 5A state playoffs Friday at Jeffco Stadium. In a rematch of a game played just one month ago Pomona got a superb effort from its superstar player in senior Isaac Marquez, who scored all three of the Panthers’ touchdowns. “Marquez is just a great football player who does so many things for us,” Pomona coach Jay Maddon said. “And we needed him to be that player for us.” Pomona will now prepare to face No. 2 Valor Christian Friday at 7 p.m., in what could be the game of the year between two of the state’s best teams. Valor beat Mountain Vista 44-0 on Friday night to advance to the quarterfinals. But against Columbine on Friday night it was The Isaac Marquez Show. Marquez scored Pomona’s first touchdown of the game off a Justin Roberts pass 17 yards into the end zone. The Rebels scored their first half touchdown on a broken fourth down play where senior Austin Norton scored from 31 yards out. And the two teams were tied 7-7 after a first half highlighted by stout defense. But Marquez was a marquee performer in the second half, scoring a 1-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter to give the Panthers a 14-7 lead. And Marquez did it again in the fourth quarter scoring his hat trick touchdown by running the ball in from six yards out. With three minutes left in the game Columbine desperately converted a 74yard touchdown pass which cut Pomona’s lead to 21-14 but that was a close as the Rebels would get to knocking off No. 1. The game was much closer than the two team’s previous meeting on Oct. 10 where Pomona beat Columbine 47-28. The Panthers expected a better fight from the Rebels this time around, which they got despite Columbine’s 5-6 overall record.
Pomona senior Isaac Marquez (27) makes a run through the Columbine defense on his way to rushing for 78 yards and 41 yards receiving and scored a touchdown in the 21-14 win over the Rebels on Friday at Jeffco Stadium in Lakewood.

Root boots 56-yard winner for Ralston Valley Setting up a clash of undefeateds with Fairview By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com AURORA - Perhaps the Denver Broncos should send their scouts to Ralston Valley High School. Because senior Collin Root kicked an unbelievable NFL-like 56-yard game-winning field goal as his No. 1 Mustangs beat No. 5 Eaglecrest 44-43 in the second round of the 5A state playoffs Friday at Legacy Stadium. In what was the most dramatic game of the state tournament so far in any classification, Root and his special teams teammates lined up near the right hash and with just 3.3 second left on the clock he drilled a stunning kick that would have been good from even further out. “It was an unbelievable kick, but we also knew that Collin could make the kick,” Ralston Valley coach Matt Loyd said. “A 56yard field goal with that kind of pressure would be tough for even a professional kicker.” Ralston Valley’s epic win now sets up a battle between the Mustangs and No. 2 Fairview Friday at 7 p.m. — who, like Ralston Valley, is also undefeated this season. Fairview beat Overland 45-27 Friday night to advance to the quarterfinals. But against Eaglecrest on Friday night the Mustangs played a game where it looked like the Mustangs were going to win big early leading 27-14 after the first quarter. From that point on the game was all Eaglecrest who outscored Ralston Valley 26-7 in the second and third quarters combined. Then with just 38 seconds left in the game the Mustangs ran three straight running plays in order to set up the 56-yard kick which few in the stadium thought was capable of going in. After the kick when through the uprights
Earlier this year Ralston Valley senior running back Andrew Wingard vowed to lead his Mustangs deep into the 5A state playoffs this year – which is exactly what he is doing. Photo by Dan Williams Ralston Valley players celebrated crazily and swarmed their kicker — who is also a pretty good tight end. But the Mustangs will certainly have
their hands full with a Fairview team (110, 7-0 in league) that could perhaps be the state’s most complete unit. Fairview is led by senior Johnny Feauto
who has had an incredible season which includes 3,648 passing yards and 37 touchdowns. Feauto also has six rushing touchdowns this season.
Beatdiggers beat Faith Christian Eagles cannot overcome injury loss of Buchanan By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com BRUSH - The loss of quarterback Adam Buchanan to a devastating ankle break proved to be the end of Faith Christian’s season, even if only delayed for a week. Without their junior quarterback who was injured the week before the No. 8 Eagles were knocked out of the state playoffs by No. 1 Brush 21-0 Saturday at Brush High School. Despite a valiant effort by Faith Christian’s under-appreciated defense Brush did enough to hold off the Eagles and advance to the semifinals. Unbeaten Brush (11-0) didn’t care that Faith Christian was without its star quarterback as the Beetdigger’s own star quarterback senior Kyle Rosenbrock shined, breaking off repeated big runs including a 65-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Rosenbrock ran in another touchdown from 29-yards and then threw a touchdown to Niko Guzman to give Brush the 21-0 win. But give the Eagles a ton of credit defensively for keeping more Brush points off the scoreboard and keep their team in the game. The loss of Buchanan, who was responsible for 15 touchdowns and an impressive
Faith Christian’s offensive players react after their junior quarterback Adam Buchanan broke his ankle during last week’s playoff victory over Bayfield. The Eagles were eliminated by Brush 21-0 Saturday at Brush High School. Photo by Dan Williams 113.6 quarterback, was too much for Faith Christian to overcome. Faith Christian’s senior running back Daniel Langewisch attempted to replace Buchanan but the move instead almost took their star running back out of the game as well. Faith Christian could not convert on its opportunity in the second quarter to get
on the score board and change the tempo and momentum of the game. The Eagles were at the goal line just three yards from pay dirt but failed to punch the ball in and turned the ball over on downs after a tough penalty for having 12 men on the field. But the way the Eagles still managed
to play defensively has to have Faith’s coaches thinking that if they had their junior leader in the lineup that perhaps they could have pulled off a massive upset. Buchanan fractured his ankle late in the third quarter on a 4-and-1 quarterback keeper play call in a game that Faith Christian was up 34-14 over Bayfield.

PARKER - No. 4 D’Evelyn soccer proved to be one of the best teams in the state this season. But they were forced to go up against the single best team in the state, falling to No. 1 Air Academy 6-1 in the 4A state playoff semifinals Wednesday at Sports Authority Stadium. Moreover, the state’s single best team also features the state’s single best player in senior Austin Dewing, who produced a hat trick in the first half, en route to Air Academy’s huge victory. Dewing scored his first two goals in the first five minutes of the game putting D’Evelyn in a big hole. Dewing scored his third goal late in the first half. One more Air Academy goal, and just like that the Jaguars were down 4-0 at halftime. “Those two early goals put us in a really tough place and we were forced to play catch up the entire game,” D’Evelyn coach Paul Moline said. “Air Academy is a really good team and they showed that tonight.” Three days later Air Academy won a 4A state championship, beating The Classical Academy 2-0 Saturday at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. But D’Evelyn season was definitely not a failure — but the most successful season in school history. D’Evelyn completed a perfect 7-0 league schedule 4A Jeffco on its way to a 16-3 season. The Jaguars won 10 straight games during one stretch of the season and have now put their team on the short list of elite 4A programs. “It hurts now but when we look back at our season we will see that we accomplished a lot and to just make it to this point is pretty special,” D’Evelyn goaltender Chris Linden said. “I am proud of my teammates.” Linden was the driving force behind the Jaguars success as the senior gave up only 12 total goals this season while stopping 81 shots. Linden and fellow senior Christian Denton (seven goals this season) will be tough losses for D’Evelyn to overcome going into next season. But returning is the team’s leading scorer in sophomore Wesley Tedstrom who led the Jaguars with 10 goals this season.

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

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