By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com The holidays are a time for bringing families together. And for 22 families in Jeffco, they celebrated the seasonal reunion early during National Adoption Day through Jefferson County Human Services. Twenty-nine children found permanent homes with their longtime committed foster parents on Saturday, Nov. 22. “Today we don’t make families, we recognize families,” said Justice Brian Boatright of the Colorado Supreme Court. “Adoption isn’t an event, adoption is a promise that is acted out over a lifetime.” National Adoption Day started in 2000 when hundreds of children were adopted on a single day which brought awareness to children in need in foster care. Since that time, National Adoption Day has had more than 40,000 children who have been adopted on this special day. Chris and Trivinia Barber who have two biological children and one adoptive child; Miranda, 4 were present on Saturday to adopt Miranda’s sister, Elyse who is 22 months old. “She (Elyse) has a great story in that ad-
dition to Miranda who she is placed with, she has three other siblings that are places in two other adoptive homes,” Trivinia Barber said. “Both of those families are really open to relationship so she gets to see all of her siblings and just really have a life-long relationship with them. It’s really important to us.” The Barbers were influenced to adopt through their church which spotlighted the need for adoption of local children. “I really wasn’t aware of how much need there really was for foster and adoptive kids just locally,” Chris Barber said. The Barber’s church introduced the couple to Project 1.27, a local Christian foster care and adoption services program that helps to train and support foster and adoptive parents. The program has been connecting foster children with families

Photo by Amy Woodward for nearly 10 years after it was reported in Dec. 2004 that 875 children were legally available for adoption in the Colorado foster care system. Christopher and Noel Mink, along with their children; Lexi, 6, and Jerimiah, 9, spoke about their experiences as being an adoptive family to a large crowd of eager parents and children before their official courtroom appearance. The Mink’s created the 10 B’s of Adop-
tion to help adoptive families through the positive and often trying times of making a family whole. “Jerimiah wrote No. 8, he said it’s OK to be happy and to be sad,” Noel Mink said. “He said being in a foster home is lonely but being adopted gives you people to play with. You might feel sad for other kids still in the foster home but you can be happy that you were adopted.” “Yes, that is true.” Jerimiah said.

New trains at Union Station for viewing By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunity media.com Commuter rail transit is a couple of years away for much of metro Denver, but folks this week can view the high-speed train cars that will soon operate in suburban areas. The 70-ton, 85-foot long commuter cars currently are on display at Denver’s Union Station. There, the public can tour and learn about the Denver area’s soon-to-be newest mode of transit, through Dec. 6. The trains are located on the commuter rail platform, directly behind Union Station, and will be on display 11-7 p.m. each day. The vehicles are among 66 commuter cars that will operate along four new rail lines that have been developed from a Regional Transportation Division FasTracks
project. Three rails will operate beginning in 2016: The East Rail line will connect to Denver International Airport. The Gold Line will travel to Arvada and Wheat Ridge. And the Northwest Rail will serve Westminster. The North Metro Rail Line to Thornton will operate beginning in 2018. “Our community has been looking forward to this happening for a long time,” City of Thornton
spokesman Todd Barnes said of the North Metro Rail Line. “We’re glad to see it starting to happen.” Each commuter car can carry up to 232 passengers. The roomy cars will feature overhead storage areas as well as luggage and bicycle racks. And don’t confuse the commuter cars with the familiar light rail vehicles that have been operating in Denver since the 1990s. Similar to light rail vehicles, the commuter cars will also be pow-
ered by overhead electric lines. But the commuter cars are heavier and are capable of traveling up to 79 miles per hour. The vehicles can go longer distances and will make fewer stops than a light rail system. RTD spokesman Kevin Flynn said he’s not worried about any potential public confusion over the two modes of transit. “The bottom line is it doesn’t really matter what they call it as long as they ride it,” he said.

Remembering a brush with fame Editors note: This is an excerpt from Mary Stobie’s new memoir You Fall Off, You Get Back On. Talk about tension. I had my 15 minutes of fame when I appeared in a feature movie from Columbia Pictures called Hardcore in l978. I had a speaking part in a scene with George C. Scott. How did this come to be? How did a rodeo cowgirl from Colorado become nearly famous? You see in my twenties I had delusions of grandeur. A palm reader had once studied my palm and told me the lines beneath my ring finger formed a star. This meant I would be a well-known person or at least notorious. So as many young hopeful twentysomethings do, I moved to Hollywood to chase my dream. My goal was to become a screenwriter. The American Film Institute in Beverly Hills accepted me as a “Writing Fellow.” As ‘fellows’ in an exclusive film school, we all had the chance to rub shoulders with famous actors, directors and producers. Paul Schrader, who wrote Taxidriver delivered a lecture for writers which I attended. He mentioned a small seminar he was offering for 10 students and accepted me into the class. He was an awesome teacher, who encouraged me in my writing. He gave the class tips like, “Bring in the gun by page 30 of your screenplay.” In other words start some major tension in
your story early. At the time of the seminar, Schrader was in pre-production for Hardcore with George C. Scott. I asked Schrader if I could read for the part of a counter woman who George C. Scott talks with while placing an ad at the Los Angeles Free Press. I read the part in the script for the casting director, Vic Ramos, got hired, and obtained a Screen Actors Guild card. Now what would I wear? Hardcore had a dark underbelly involving criminals, murderers and sex so I played against that by wearing my hair in pigtails and a red T-shirt that said “Mischief.” I practiced my lines over an over until I had them down pat. When I got to the set, I spotted George C. Scott—bigger and taller than I imagined. He sat in a director’s chair with his huge Mastiff dog sitting beside him like a sentry. Scott emanated power and all I could think of was General George Patton. I felt queasy.
“The assistant director will run through your lines with you,” director Paul Schrader told me. “George won’t do it.” Yikes, I was too insignificant and Scott was too famous, too big a star, to rehearse with me. He was General George Patton in charge of the whole army of the crew, actors, even the director. In addition to the residue of General Patton in his spirit, Scott was now playing Jake Van Dorn an angry explosive father. He was fully in character and his dog stood at attention a few feet away, ready to attack me if I threatened his master. To add to my nervousness, the actor ahead of Scott in line spoke his off color lines to me. Then the gigantic George C. Scott, took his place at the counter. As a green actress facing this legend of an actor shadowed by his threatening dog, I felt jittery. I thought of Schrader’s lesson in screenwriting class and bringing in the gun to create tension. I wanted to scream, “Enough tension, Paul Schrader, you punk film director!” But instead, my throat tightened and I flubbed my line. George C. Scott glared at me and repeated my line to me! He was running circles around me! My face felt hot as I was embarrassed. All eyes of the crew, and director were focused on me. Somehow I rose to the occasion and we
completed the scene. I guess the director liked my performance, because he gave me a close up in the final cut. At the Hollywood screening debut of Hardcore for the cast, the Vic Ramos said to me, “You were very natural, Mary.” I was paid $275 for a few minutes of screen time and received enormous residuals of $10 a year. This was for Hardcore showings on movie channels, which helped my M&M habit. Appearing in the Hardcore taught me three important things. First, you have to ask for what you want. I asked for the part and got it. Second, if you do anything in a movie, but especially acting, people think you are larger than life, superhuman and a little divine. Third, after these same people get to know you, as they did me, they come to suspect you are just a human being. At the same time they wonder if you will return to the screen. Oh, yeah, sure! Mary McFerren Stobie writes regularly for Colorado Community Media. Her new humorous memoir You Fall Off, You Get Back On got a great review from Kirkus, calling Stobie a “cross between Will Rogers and Lenore Skenazy! “ For more information go to www.kirusreviews.com and www. marystobie.com.

Election aftermath discussed at council By Hugh Johnson
Transcript correspondent The defeat of ballot measures 2A and 2B renewed a discussion on the 38th Avenue Corridor Project. City Council will evaluate options in hopes of continuing the project in way that captures the vision of both city staff and residents. At the Nov. 17 study session council discussed the results of the Nov. 7 election in which both of Wheat Ridge’s ballot measures were soundly defeated. More importantly, council looked at why ballot measure 2B failed. The measure would have allowed the city to alter the width of 38th to be in accordance with the design plans for the corridor. City councilman Zachary Urban cited the corridor plan’s road diet as the reason behind the voters’ rejection of the measure. The road
diet reduced 38th Avenue from four lanes — five including a center lane — to two lanes, in order to transform 38th into a destination rather than a thoroughfare. Mayor Joyce Jay said that the $9.3 million price tag on the 38th Avenue design turned voters off to the project’s progression. She stated that council made a mistake in failing to inform the public of how they intended to come up with the money to fund the project, decreasing their favor in the public eye. “To me, what really was going on was the $9.3 million that was all over the city, this is what the people really voted against,” Jay said. “I don’t think our citizens felt that we were really being good shepherds, and I think that we’ll probably be changing that quite a bit.” District One Councilmen William Starker and Jerry DiTullio, advocated that city staff
look at other options for renovating the corridor that may be more cost-effective, such as shortening the length of the project. DiTullio recommended that council do what it can to remove back-in parking as soon as possible. As its name implies, backin parking requires drivers to reverse into parking spots. It’s been a point of conflict for many and DiTullio suggested getting rid of the back-in parking would go over well with citizens. While the mayor called for council to evaluate each variable of the 38th Avenue project to find out what exactly the voters are taking issue with, Urban remained adamant that the road diet is at the center of the public’s dis-
dain for the current direction of the corridor plan. “If you’re having trouble wrapping your brain around the outcome of the election, it is the road diet. That is the problem,” he said. “People do not have a problem with investing and forwarding the plan for 38th Avenue and encouraging business. It is the restriction of traffic in that main thoroughfare, that is a regional thoroughfare. That is the issue.” Council hopes to set up future community meetings in which city staff will present multiple options for moving forward with 38th Avenue.

Negotiating Multiple Offers Can & Probably Should Resemble an Auction
By JIM SMITH, Realtor ®
There’s an unwritten and largely unspoken protocol when it comes to revealing the specifics of competing offers when more than one offer is received on a listing. I’m not sure why this is, but maybe some of my colleagues who are regular readers of this column can help me understand why they believe a listing agent should or should not reveal the specifics of offers received. When functioning as an “agent” instead of a “transaction broker,” it is clear to me that it’s in my clients’ best interest to maximize the price they get for their home. In that effort, it seems only right that I should do what I can to play buyers against each other — with my client’s knowledge and approval. This subject is on my mind right now because in the past few weeks I have been successful in engineering higher sale prices for two of my listings by working effectively with agents who submitted competing offers. One of the keys to successfully working with competing offers is to tell the truth about them. The question in listing agents’ minds is how much of that truth to reveal. Sometimes I will say exactly what the existing offers are when a third or fourth agent asks me “what it will take” to win the bidding. Let’s look at a typical scenario and how I chose to play it.
Agent #1 submits a below-full-price offer with $2,500 in concessions. A second agent calls and asks (as every buyer’s agent should) whether I have any offers. I say, “Yes, but it’s below full price.” The agent asks if a particular purchase price would exceed that purchase price, and I say “yes.” The agent submits an offer $2,000 below that amount but with an escalation clause stating that they will beat any competing offer by $1,000 up to full price. I inform the first agent that their offer has been exceeded and that it includes the escalation clause up to full price. That agent consults her client and informs me that they don’t want to go that high. A third agent calls and asks the question about existing offers and I give the same information. That agent then submits an offer slightly above full price, all cash, waiving appraisal, and closing in two weeks. I recommend to my seller that he accept that offer and we go under contract. I didn’t ask the 2nd agent if they would like to beat that offer, because their buyer was borrowing 95% (albeit with a strong lender letter) and requiring 45 days to close. Many agents are more coy about revealing details of existing offers and simply ask each agent for their “highest and best.” What would you do, and what do you think is “right”?

Scouts bring adventure indoors By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Youth looking for a taste of outdoor adventuring without heading into the mountains need search no more. The Denver Area Council of the Boy Scouts is opening Colorado Adventure Point in spring 2015 at its Hamilton Scout Headquarters, 10455 W. 6th Ave. The Colorado Adventure Point will feature a two-story rock climbing wall, archery and air rifle shooting range, STEM classrooms and handcraft spaces. “We’ve been trying to get a community center for the Denver area for years,” said Dave Whitner, programs director with the Boy Scouts. “The tenants in our neighboring space moved out and the idea finally came to fruition.” Pinkard Construction is constructing the project, based on a design by Venture Architecture. The space is 20,000 feet and costs around $1.5 million. “The space will feature a lot of multipurpose classrooms, as well as office and storage space,” said Hector Moreno, Pinkard project manager. “We have ex-
perience doing climbing walls at recreation centers but the firing range is pretty unique.” The rework will also feature enhanced outdoor facilities will include an urban camping environment and campfire meeting areas. “For inner city kids going to a place without lights or anything can be a stretch,” Whitner said. “Having this space will allow us to make the transition easier with the spaces outside for overnight camping and cooking.” The project will incorporate any LEED elements that are advantageous to the function, durability or success of the project. Nicole Cosme, director of marketing for the Boy Scouts, said in addition to being a place where scouts can get their badges, but it will be open to the community, organizations and schools for a variety of uses. It can be rented for parties, meetings and classes. “Opening this place is a big opportunity for community partnerships,” she said. “We have around 26,000 youths in our program and could have that same number from our Learning for Life (school pro-
The Colorado Adventure Point at the Boy Scouts headquarters will feature a climbing wall, which will be open to the community and other organizations for use. Courtesy photo gram).” Whitner said the location will serve as a home base for day trips and overnighters into the mountains, and will allow for equipment storage. “We’ll be able to do the educational
stuff, but we can have some fun with it,” he said. “We have the spaces for STEM learning and then the archery range during a break.” For more information call 303-455-5522 or visit www.denverboyscouts.org.
Adoption support service partners with Dave Thomas Foundation By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com November was National Adoption Awareness Month, and Wheat Ridge’s Ariel Clinical Services joined the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption to encourage families to consider adopting. The Ariel office, 4660 Wadsworth Blvd., held an open house for all families who considering adopting, but the organization is available year-round to work with families. “We’re working to get the word out any
way we can,” said Virginia Appel, adoption program manager with Ariel. “We really believe there’s a family out there for every child.” Today, more than 100,000 children in the country’s foster care system are available for adoption, according to information provided by Ariel. That figure includes 280 children in Colorado who are growing up without permanent families of their own. They entered foster care through no fault of their own, as victims of child abuse, neglect or abandonment, and their parents’ legal rights have been terminated. “There is a critical need for Americans to become aware and involved,” said Rita
Soronen, president and CEO of the Dave Thomas Foundation. “Everyone can make a difference — either by adopting a child from foster care or by supporting the work of agencies finding forever families for waiting children.” The typical child who has been freed for adoption is 8 years old, moves three or more times in foster care, may have been separated from siblings, and will wait five years or more to be adopted, according to Ariel’s information. “We’re a multiservice agency that also works with adults with disabilities and finding homes for infants,” Appel said. “We also work with young women and fami-
lies looking to adopt a child with special needs.” Appel said Ariel will continue to work to provide as many children as possible with homes. “We want to make adoption as affordable as possible,” she said. “There are no unadoptable children — just unfound families.” For more information about adopting a waiting child in Colorado, call Ariel Clinical Services at 303-703-9351, or order Finding Forever Families: A Step-by-Step Guide to Adoption free at davethomasfoundation. org. For more information on the Foundation, call 800-ASK-DTFA.

Colorado Gives Day returns Statewide fundraising drive Dec. 9
EVENT INFO WHAT: Colorado Gives Day WHERE: To learn more about community nonprofits, or to donate, go to www.coloradogives.org WHEN: Tuesday, Dec. 9 TIME: 12 a.m. to 12 p.m.
By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com With a single click, Coloradans are making an impact. Colorado Gives Day, an annual statewide philanthropical giving event, takes place Tuesday, Dec. 9, in a computer, tablet and phone near you. Now in it’s fifth year, the day, sponsored by Arvada’s Community First Foundation, is a statewide effort to increase charitable giving. “For nonprofits its great to be there so people can find you and learn more about you and get excited about what your doing,” said Dana Rinderknecht, director of online giving for the Community First Foundation. “It really is fun to see what’s going on, what’s happening in your neighborhood and how can I support the people that are my neighbors.” Over the course of 24 hours, residents across the state can log on to www.coloradogives.org and donate to their favorite local nonprofit organizations. Founded on the desire to increase giving, the event has steadily grown from 530 registered nonprofits five years ago, to include more than 1,600 organizations on the giving list, with the potential to grow more. “There’s a potential for probably six to seven thousand around the state that can participate in this, it’s just awareness,” Rinderknecht said. “We’re trying to bring the rest of the state on board.”
This year, along with the website, Community First has launched a free iPhone and Android smartphone app to make it easier for residents to participate. “On the day, it will have the ticker, so you can see how much has been raised,” Rinderknecht said. “It’s going to be really fun on the day to watch the numbers go up, but you can also click and donate.” For participating organizations, like the Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies (GRRR), these donations go a long way, helping to provide money for key programs in the organization, such as medical costs. “We’re not a very large nonprofit,” said Kevin Shipley, executive director of GRRR. “For us, we spend about 90 percent of our money on program, and our largest budget item we have is medical for the dogs ... that’s a pup we can help get well and will go on to give a family 15 years of love.” Founded in 2010, the event has raised more than $58 million for more than 1,600 Colorado nonprofits. “It’s a movement,” Rinderknecht said. “It’s amazing what Coloradans have done. We’ve distributed $58 million dollars — that’s a lot of zeros.” To schedule a donation or learn more about the event, visit www.coloradogives. org.

DNA lab ups testing standards By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Jeffco’s newest DNA regional crime lab is one of two labs in Colorado to receive advanced DNA testing kits for genetic analysis. The new DNA kits, developed by GlobalFiler, are becoming the new standard of testing for not just the state but the world, said Gentry Roth, lab supervisor. “There’s not a whole lot of overlap, it’s kind of been sectioned out for the globe of what those particular communities like,” Roth said. “Now they are coming together and combining everybody’s kits so now there should be a much more international level of communication.” The lab and another in Colorado Springs are the first two DNA labs in the state to start using the more accurate testing kits. The new kits allow analysis in 21 gene location sites within a DNA sample. Previously, DNA testing was conducted in only 13 locations. “It’s basically an address,” explained Beth Hewitt, DNA technical leader on the study of gene locations sites. “We’re looking at these different locations and everybody is going to have different addresses
at these locations. And it’s a combination of those that give us our unique DNA profiles.” Focusing on more locations means getting more discriminating matches. “Instead of one in eight quadrillion, we’re going to get one in eight septillion,” Hewitt said of the statistics given through testing. Equipment in the lab used for extraction and genetic testing cost $750,000 but the pay-off is in the results with processing times significantly reduced. Testing location sites can be done in 60 minutes and staff is predicting DNA results in less than 60 days. For some tests, such as identifying male-specific DNA out of a sample, the lab will still rely on the Colorado Bureau of Investigations for some analysis. But in general, testing will prove to be more efficient in Jeffco. “We’re going to focus on having really good open communication with the agencies that we’re serving, so again everybody is on the same page,” Roth said. “Hopefully we’ll really be able to limit the amount of rush cases coming in due to judicial deadlines because we’ll have that open communication and we should be well aware of any deadlines and meet those in advance.”

GERARD HEALEY President MIKKEL KELLY Publisher and Editor GLENN WALLACE Assistant Editor VIC VELA State Desk and Legislative Editor
When a movie moves me Let me tell you about my system for evaluating movies. If it’s a comedy, does it make me laugh? If it’s a drama, then I’m looking for three “moments” — scenes in the movie which have maximum emotional involvement. They can be visually stunning, like “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon;” they can be motivational, like “Rudy;” or they can even be great cathartic events, like when Maximus kills Commodus at the end of “Gladiator.” So with this in mind, I watched “Mockingjay, part I” last weekend. Yes, I was among the masses that went out for the premiere weekend — as I was years ago for the “Twilight” movies. A dad’s job... Anyway, the movie was going along, and it was following the book, so there wasn’t any real surprises. But, after an hour, there was only one good moment, and so I was getting a little restless. And then a scene develops which blew my mind: Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) sings a folk song (surprisingly well); but then the director uses that song as an anthem, and he develops an entire battle scene out of it. For three minutes of the movie, he told the whole story with only pictures and music. It was masterful. And it struck me — again — how powerful music can be. Look, I realize that as a professional musician, my opinion is a little biased that way. But, it’s a little-known
fact that, the longer a person spends doing something creative and artistic, the more intellectual the exercise becomes. Brain scans have shown, where non-musicians and amateurs experience music on the side of their brains more closely associated with emotion, trained musicians experience music intellectually at least as much as they do emotionally. This brings with it some unfortunate side effects — there is a real danger of becoming very mercenary about music, and I have a hard time hearing music without having to also hear the voice of my “inner critic.” But in the case of “Mockingjay,” it was so well done that I could sit back and enjoy the moment. And I know it’s not a new device—television dramas regularly tell story by “montage,” to the point that “The Muppet Movie” even made fun of the device. But when it’s done well, it is still a powerful way to move a drama along. This is a great season of the year to
be thinking about things like this, too. After all, what is the Christmas season without Christmas carols? Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, the Carpenters — all of these great artists are on the radio right now because the music of this season has a unique way of touching our hearts and bringing us a little of the spirit of the season. And have you seen the trailer for the new “Star Wars?” Who doesn’t hear the familiar strains of John Williams and get transported to a galaxy far, far away? That said, that was the last really good moment in “Mockingjay I”— overall, it’s a pretty transparent attempt to squeeze as much money out of the movie-going public as possible by splitting a story into two parts unnecessarily. But, if it manages to remind people how powerful music can be, at a time when everybody is searching for a “magic bullet” to make our education system better, then I’m quite happy to drop down the cost of a few tickets to support it. And I hope the next movie has more such moments. Michael Alcorn is a teacher and writer who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Is Dave Logan the greatest coach in Colorado history? Seven championship teams at four different programs. That is what Wheat Ridge High School and University of Colorado alum Dave Logan accomplished when his Cherry Creek team upset Valor Christian 25-24 to win the 5A state title Saturday. Therefore we asked our loyal reader’s one simple question: Is Dave Logan the greatest coach in the history of Colorado sports? Here are a few of their answers:
“I would have to say ‘yes.’ No one has ever come close to his resume, not even Mike Shanahan.” Greg Wyche, Denver
“That might be taking it too far. Logan is definitely a high school coaching legend but it is hard to say where that ranks against guys like Mike Shanahan and Bill McCartney.” Marcello Romano, Westminster
“I have played for Dave Logan and had a chance to be a part of a state championship team. Coach Logan is truly one of a kind and a coaching legend.” Michael Duncan (a former Mullen Mustang), Littleton

Make your decision and drop the doubt The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. A simple theory, and yet a much tougher application to manage sometimes. Let’s think about a ski run rated “expert” — you know, something that may be really steep and richly covered in moguls. Now the expert skier may be able to take a straight line, going top to bottom as quickly and efficiently as possible. For the intermediate skier, the goal to get to the bottom is the same, but they have to take a more circuitous route. There will be more turns made for sure, and they will use more of the mountain as they traverse the slope. At some point both skiers knew which direction they would be headed, and in some cases once they jumped on the chairlift there would be no turning back. The expert has no issues because they can ski or snowboard just about any terrain. So it is with confidence that they take to any hill. However our intermediate folks may take the same chair ride up with a little trepidation, and that fear or nervousness may increase once they are looking over their tips and down at the steep grade and bumps below. Doubt creeps in for sure. Sometimes we all make decisions without looking at the big picture or complete situation. We have all at some point stood looking out over our tips at a precarious
situation where we have already made the commitment or decision to do something knowing we were maybe too ambitious in our thinking or too aggressive in our belief that we could actually pull it off. And yet there we stand, looking at the project or opportunity and we are overcome with fear and doubt. And then we make it worse by letting our ego get in the way as we refuse to ask for help or let others assist us and maybe even come to our rescue. It’s kind of like having ski patrol stop by while we are on the brink, offer us a safe ride down on a sled or snowmobile, and we refuse the help. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. But each situation will dictate whether we have the expertise to go from point A to point B as precisely and efficiently as possible, or whether we are still in our learning curve and it will take us a bit longer to accomplish the same goal. So although the short-
est distance between two points may be a straight line, the most effective path will be whichever path gets the job done safely, accurately, and on time. When we can accept the level we are operating at in a given activity, event, or project, we will place ourselves in a much better position to minimize our doubts, fears, and biggest worries. And this is huge because I can tell you that most people stop pursuing their goals and dreams or give up on a path or a project because of doubt and fear. And quitting is just a shame. Whether we are a beginner at something, average or intermediate, advanced, or an expert, we all face that moment of making a decision. We make decisions all day long both consciously and subconsciously, and it is when we are making a conscious decision to engage in something, anything, that we then follow up that decision with some form of direction. We see the road ahead and we embark on the journey and to minimize the fear, doubt and worry we need to evaluate our skill set, know how far we can stretch ourselves, and then know what resources and people are available to help. We need to know if we have the luxury of time on our side and if so, then we can traverse the project as slowly as necessary to achieve the desired results, or if we are expert enough and confident in our ability, we
can take the straight line. Years ago I would ski just about anything, bumps, trees and steeps. And I would ski them full of doubt and fear sometimes because my ego wouldn’t let me figure out how to ask for help so I could get better. Then I was skiing with my good friend Dudley Ottley, who is a phenomenal skier, and as we were headed down Ripsaw over in Beaver Creek one day, he gave me a few pointers. After just a little bit of practice on those newly acquired techniques, my confidence soared and my fears were abated. And all I had to do was ask for a little help after I had made my decision to ski an expert trail and then committed to the direction or path that I would follow. Have you made a decision to do something? Have you set your course or direction? And are you having any second thoughts or doubts now that you have made that commitment? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com and when we can ease or eliminate the doubts that creep in, it really will be a better than good week.

It doesn’t matter how you do it … just give They stand on street corners with cardboard signs telling me that anything helps, and I give money to these rugged raggedy people. I keep dollar bills handy, sometimes even the occasional five, and I roll down my window to pass my cash to the person who sprints over. This doesn’t make me a better – or worse – person than someone else who won’t do this. It’s simply something that I want to do, something that I feel compelled to do. Bad luck, bad choices, bad timing … I don’t judge, I just do what I can. ’Tis the season – the season for giving, for doing what any of us can. The holidays bring into sharper focus the circumstances of those less fortunate than we, and also provide an abundance of ways to help. On the day before Thanksgiving, when the wind was whipping and wicked, the Salvation Army was tended by a stalwart bell ringer outside the supermarket. I was glad I had a few bucks at the time, and I’m going to make a habit of having small bills on me when I go to the store now. There are other ways to make a difference with our donations. Tuesday, Dec. 9, is Colorado Gives Day, a statewide movement to celebrate and increase philanthropy in Colorado. This “give where you live” initiative is part of Colorado-
Gives.org. Community First Foundation and FirstBank have partnered to present Colorado Gives Day since 2010, which is one of the most successful events of its kind in the nation, having already distributed more 58 million dollars to Colorado nonprofits. What’s great about ColoradoGives.org – which operates year round, by the way – is that the website provides comprehensive, objective, and up-to-date information about more than 1,600 Colorado nonprofit organizations. If you don’t already have a charity or two in mind, you can search by cause, by city, or even ZIP code, and then check out its profile. From there, just select “Donate Now” and contribute online. You don’t need to create an account to make a donation, so just skip that step if you don’t want one. If you make a donation on, or sched-

ule one for, Colorado Gives Day, Tuesday, Dec. 9, then your donation will qualify for a boost from the $1 Million Incentive fund. Not to be confused with a “match,” the Incentive Fund increases the value of every donation proportionally, which means that if a nonprofit organization receives, say, 7 percent of the total amount of money raised on Colorado Gives Day, that same nonprofit receives 7 percent of the $1 Million Incentive Fund. Of course, getting a boost from a million dollars is an additional incentive for donations, but more than that, Colorado Gives Day is another way for us as a state, as communities, to do what we can.

Perlmutter’s office shares aging tips Senior fair allows for Medicare D enrollment By Clarke Reader

Congressman Ed Perlmutter’s office offered seniors an opportunity to learn about Medicare Part D enrollment, Social Security and other health service options at a seniors resource fair on Nov. 21 in Lakewood. Around 200 seniors stopped by to speak with representatives from groups like the Jewish Family Service Center, Jefferson County District Attorney and Centura Health LINKS. “I’m retiring next year and so many people try to recruit seniors into their groups or plans,” said Lakewood resident Dan Noyes. “I wanted to go to a place where I wouldn’t be sold and could find resources on the information I will need.” Several organizations hosted “Ignite Sessions” on specific issue areas, such as warning signs of scams, how to detect a stroke, blood pressure check and top ten signs of Alzheimer’s. Representatives from the Department of Regulatory Agencies’ (DORA) State Health Insurance Assistance Programs
(SHIP) were helping seniors with questions about their plans and what other, better options are. “Seniors need to be diligent about checking their plans every year,” explained Kathy Madden, SHIP partner services training manager. “People don’t know a lot about SHIP but those that do love us and those who don’t can’t believe what we do when they learn about us.” SHIP helps any senior who calls with all issues related to Medicare, from claims and billing to doctors referrals and fraud. The nonpartisan group is staffed almost entirely by volunteers and has affiliates all over the state. SHIP works with homeless groups and other nonprofit agencies to provide information for the community. “These kinds of events are where people come for information,” Madden said. “We participate so we can let them know we’re here.” William Kister, with Centura Health LINKS, said the Medicare specialists on hand look at people’s prescription lists and other medical information to see which plan would be the best for them. “These kinds of events are great for us because we can meet with people face-toface,” said Kister. “We field around 6,000 calls in seven weeks (during the enrollment period).” For more information, visit www.perlmutter.house.gov.

Prayer proclamation clears legal challenge By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Colorado Supreme Court on Nov. 25 dismissed a legal challenge to the governor’s ability to declare Day of Prayer proclamations. The justices did not rule on the merits of whether it is appropriate for government to encourage prayer, rather the majority determined that the plaintiffs had no legal standing to challenge the proclamations. In a 5-2 ruling, the court determined that the harm suffered by the plaintiffs was not “injury sufficient” to provide standing and that the administrative costs for issu-
ing prayer proclamations are “incidental” to state taxpayers. The majority opinion also notes that the proclamations do not require residents to participate in prayer. The dismissal comes two years after the state Court of Appeals issued a ruling that sided with the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs are four state residents who are members of the Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation. They claim that the proclamations – which have been issued by Democrat and Republican governors – violate constitutional protections for religious freedom. “Non-religious citizens are being encouraged by the governor to engage in a
day of prayer,” said Patrick Elliott, an attorney for the foundation. “A lot of people would be upset if the governor called for a day without prayer.” Elliott was disappointed that the court did not take up the merits of the case. “The court really said even though taxpayers and the governor’s office spent money, it’s not the type of injury where you can challenge,” Elliott said. “I think their position is that nobody can challenge these proclamations.” Justices William W. Hood III and Gregory J. Hobbs Jr. offered dissenting opinions of the court’s majority ruling. The justices said that by rejecting the plaintiffs’ standing, “we abdicate our responsibility to
consider a matter of great public importance...” Republican State Attorney GeneralElect Cynthia Coffman hailed the court’s ruling. “This decision by the state’s high court means that like the president of the United States and other governors around the country, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and future Colorado governors are free to issue honorary proclamations without fear of being tied up in court by special interest groups,” Coffman said through an emailed statement. “It was the correct ruling by the justices after careful consideration of the issues.
Immigration order spurs conflicting responses Obama’s decision has some Republicans up in arms By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ana Temu Vidrio’s stepfather woke up the morning of Nov. 20 in a good mood before leaving for work, the young woman said the following day. On Nov. 20 President Barack Obama announced he would take steps to protect millions of undocumented immigrants like Vidrio’s stepfather from the threat of deportation. “Yesterday, he couldn’t wait to get out the door and tell his co-workers this announcement was coming,” she said during a Denver press event where she was joined by dozens of other energized immigrationreform activists who praised Obama’s action. “I love this president,” said one woman, speaking in broken English and pointing to an Obama sign that read, “Gracias Senor Presidente.” Others around her chanted, “Si, se puede!” — the Spanish translation of Obama’s famous “Yes we can” cam-
paign rallying cry that dates back to Cesar Chavez. The night before, Obama delivered on what he had been hinting at for months — that he would take executive action on certain areas of federal immigration policy, a response to Congress’ continuing failure to pass immigration reform. Obama’s action adds more border resources and will make it easier for highskilled workers, college graduates and entrepreneurs to stay in the country. And a component of Obama’s actions will allow millions of undocumented immigrants to “come out of the shadows” and have the ability to stay in the country temporarily, without the threat of deportation. During a nationally televised address, Obama said his actions will not apply to every immigrant living in the country, only to those who have lived here for at least five years and who have no criminal history, among other provisions. The president said his actions will better allow agents to prioritize deportations, focusing on security threats rather than mothers and fathers who are here to work. “Felons, not families. Criminals, not children. Gang members, not a mom who’s
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
working hard to provide for her kids. We’ll prioritize, just like law enforcement does every day,” Obama said. Obama said his action does not grant citizenship or the right to stay in the country permanently. “All we’re saying is we’re not going to deport you,” he said. The president said his action — which he described as within his legal authority — was a result of inaction on the part of Congress. Congress has yet to send a comprehensive immigration reform measure to Obama’s desk. The Senate passed a bill last year, but it has yet to receive a vote on the House floor. “And to those members of Congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better or question the wisdom of me acting where Congress has failed, I have one answer: Pass a bill,” Obama said.
GOP criticizes action
But Republicans said Obama’s action now makes it impossible for an immigration reform measure to get to his desk. “President Obama wants a partisan
political wedge issue, not meaningful, sensible, compassionate immigration reform,” said Republican Congressman Mike Coffman, who represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional District. “The president’s unilateral actions will make it harder for Congress to fix the immigration system, and the worst part is — that seems to be exactly his intention.” State Republican Party Chairman Ryan Call blasted Obama’s “outrageous decision to do an end run around Congress.” Call said Obama’s moves are particularly audacious, considering how many Democrats suffered losses nationally during the recent midterm elections. “President Obama is thumbing his nose at the American people, ignoring the clear message they sent just two weeks ago when they elected Republicans to control both chambers of Congress,” Call said. Some Republicans stated Obama has exceeded his executive powers through his actions. But several other presidents, both Democrats and Republicans, have taken similar measures. They include Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, who also took executive action to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation.

Cherry Hills event gets tip of PGA cap
Foothills Art Center hosts 40th holiday art market By Clarke Reader
creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com
T
his is the time of year when shoppers search high and low for the special gift for the loved ones in their lives. The 40th annual Holiday Art Market at the Foothills Art Center is back to offer the creative works of more than 100 Colorado artists for shoppers looking for a gift with a personal, homemade touch. The market, 809 15th St. in Golden, runs through Dec. 28. It is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free, though donations are accepted. “There are 48 artists returning from our last market, so we have a lot of new artists” said Marcella Nordbeck, gift gallery manager. “Our first call for entry went out in July, so we’re basically thinking about it all year.” The items on sale include ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry, paintings, woodworking, photography and holiday items. Nordbeck said the set up for the market is a three week process that requires two dozen volunteers to get everything in its right place. “We’re using paint on the walls as our key decoration element,” explained said Becky Guy, exhibitions coordinator. “There are so many great spaces here but we also want to make sure we create some intimate places for displays.” The market features thousands of unique handcrafted items, all displayed against the backdrop of the historic church that houses the main gallery spaces. Since the market has been running for so long the challenge is to make it unique every year. “Every year it’s a fresh experience, especially since shoppers quite possibly can’t find these items anywhere else,” Nordbeck said. “We have things for every group — men, women and kids — and every price point.” The art market is more than a shopping experience — this month several special events will be held at FAC. Children will have the opportunity to have their photos taken with Santa and enjoy a free hot cocoa bar and cookies before the Golden Candelight Walk on Friday, Dec. 5, 4-6 p.m. There will be a free card creation station at the center 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Dec. 6 and a holiday sweater party and ornament creation demonstration with Stephanie Kuhne from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Dec. 13. The cost for the sweater party and ornament creation is $5. Finally, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Dec. 20 there will be a gingerbread house construction event for $10, which will teach the tricks to making a perfect, edible creation. These kinds of events have helped to make the market a key part of many holiday traditions. “We have more than 200 applicants to the market this year and we jury the show because we want people to say ‘wow’ every year,” Guy said. “Last year we had more than 7,000 visitors who spend more than $100,000.” Nordbeck said that shopping at the market is a chance to do several positive things at one. “Shoppers can say with pride that their gift is a locally created, unique piece that is supporting a Colorado artists and

For an unprecedented third year in a row, the BMW Championship was named the PGA Tour’s Tournament of the Year at the tour’s tournament meeting on Nov. 20 in La Quinta, California. The award was one of three earned by the 2014 BMW Championship, which also won the “Best On-Site Staging” and “Best Advertising Campaign/Promotional Idea” awards for this year’s tournament at Cherry Hills Country Club. Conducted by the Western Golf Association, the 2014 BMW Championship continued to raise awareness and support for the Evans Scholars Foundation, the WGA’s 84-year-old sister organization that has been sending caddies to college since 1930. The penultimate event in the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the BMW Championship was one of the top-attended tournaments on the PGA Tour in 2014, attracting more than 125,000 spectators to Cherry Hills. “On behalf of the PGA Tour, I am delighted to congratulate the BMW Championship for the special recognition it has received with these three awards,” said Andy Pazder, PGA Tour executive vice president and chief of operations. “The tournament staff should be extremely proud of its hard work and for being recognized as the PGA Tour Tournament of the Year for the third consecutive season.” Benchmarks achieved by the BMW Championship in 2014 — in the areas of revenue growth, charity integration, event advertising, host club and community support, title sponsor integration and player and caddie hospitality — were all significant factors in the event being named Tournament of the Year, tour officials said.
Top Chef winner opens eatery
It’s been years in the making, but Hosea Rosenberg, the much-heralded “Top Chef” season five winner, finally opened Blackbelly Market, a restaurant and butcher shop in a nondescript strip mall in east Boulder (1606 Conestoga St. No. 3). Focused on seasonal and fresh farmto-table offerings, the contemporary menu features Blackbelly Farms’ own livestock and locally sourced small-farm produce. There’s also an in-house butcher shop, crafted charcuterie program, and gourmet pantry sundries for sale at the small front-of-house market. During the media party, we sampled specialty cocktails (including Pirate’s Apples made with Havana Club Rum, Leopold’s NY Apple Whiskey, lemon and hot cider), house-made charcuterie, a cheese plate, kobe beef hangar steak, a three-squash soup with apple bits and other assorted goodies.

White Fence Farm changes hands
Continued from Page 14
After 41 years of ownership by the Wilson family, Lakewood’s venerable White Fence Farm has changed hands. The new owners, P&C Family Farm Restaurants, led by business partners and hospitality veterans Craig Caldwell and Tom Piercy, said they won’t change the family-friendly ambience nor chicken dinner menu. “It took me a long time to find the right owner,” said Charlie Wilson, whose family converted their property along Jewell Avenue into the destination restaurant. “It takes a certain type of person with the know-how, experience and love of the community to become the proprietor of our family legacy. We had numerous conversations, but it never felt right until I

Here’s what the editors said: “At this captivating Platt Park Argentinean bakery, which opened in spring, owner Lorena Cantarovici turns out the city’s most celebrated empanadas, their gold-tinged crusts enveloping everything from olives and scrambled eggs to sweet corn and spinach. And that’s not all: her tartas and Spanish tortillas are objects of beauty too, as are the sweet medialunas and dulce de leche roll cake.” Maria Empanada is located at 1298 S. Broadway; www.mariaempanada.com; 303-934-2221. See the rest of Zagat’s Hottest Bakeries

met Tom and Craig. “Tom grew up with the original White Fence Farm in Joliet (Ill.). His childhood memories are similar to mine; he understands the joy, challenges and surprises. I never wanted this place to grow stale and old. I needed someone with enthusiasm and innovation, and these guys were perfect. And, the most important part, they aren’t going to change a thing, except for a few family photos on the wall.” The 80-acre Wilson Farm was an original working hay and cattle farm. Today, it operates as a family enclave, and more than 5 million chicken dinners have been served since 1973. More information: www.wff-co.net.

County tables accessory dwelling unit decision Concerns over design regulations in open areas may be moot By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com The Jeffco Planning and Zoning Division is closer to finalizing revised zoning regulations surrounding accessory dwelling units or ADUs. But what was supposed to be a final approval from the board county of commissioners turned out to be another setback for county staff. In April, Heather Gutherless, planning director from planning and zoning drafted and presented a revised zoning resolution that would expand the development and use of ADUs, a second unit accessory to a main house that may be attached or separate from the
primary property, and contains a kitchen. The review headed by Gutherless and her staff to make ADU zoning regulations more inclusive, was brought on by Aging Well Project in Jeffco, a strategic planning project focused on senior needs. Part of that need includes exploring housing options as Jeffco’s senior population over the age of 60 is expected to double by 2030. Since opening meetings about the ADU zoning regulations began, HOAs and members from the mountain communities have expressed concern over the changes. Updated criteria for ADU’s in unincorporated Jeffco includes; allowing ADUs on lots between 7,500 sq. ft. up to one acre, a maximum height of 25 feet or height of existing structure, whichever is less; no more than three people living in an ADU, the owner of the property must reside in either the ADU or the primary unit.
After three drafts and two public meetings, Gutherless presented the final zoning regulation to the board of county commissioners on Tuesday, Nov. 18 but Commissioners Casey Tighe and Faye Griffin tabled it until Dec. 9 over concerns regarding design guidelines for ADUs on one acre or more in an open area. While commissioners would like to prohibit the construction of ADUs on properties of one acre or more, under zoning regulations dealing with open areas, there are no restrictions to build other types of structures that could be converted into ADUs. Commissioner Don Rosier proposed the zoning regulation state the ADU must be in compliance with community site plans but the suggestion was shot down by county staff. “Staff has concerns over mixing policies with the comprehensive master plans and community plans which apply only to rezon-
ing special uses and site approvals with our building permit process,” Gutherless said. If someone is coming in for a building permit, they are subject to the restrictions in the ADU zoning regulations, she said. Still, Commissioners Tighe and Griffin pushed forward with language that would address design and viewshed issues despite the problems presented with their proposal as expressed by John Wolforth, Jeffco planning and zoning director. “It’s hard in a zoning resolution because they shouldn’t be gray, they should be pretty black and white,” Wolforth said. “The draft regulation we could bring back to you would be one acre and above, in the middle of an open area no ADUs — however, it would not apply to anything else. Someone could build a barn, someone could build any other structure if it’s not an ADU. We’re not going to be able to prohibit that within regulations.”

T
here is newfound reason to indulge in a pint or two of your favorite beer, and it’s not just to catch up and share a few laughs with friends. New research has shown that a chemical compound in beer may be able to improve cognitive function. The beverage once thought to obliterate brain cells when consumed in abundance may actually have the opposite effect and boost brain power. No one should run out an start imbibing just yet, however. The study that ran in Behavioral Brain Research in October 2014 was preliminary and only conducted on lab mice. During the study, scientists discovered that xanthohumol, a type of flavonoid found in beer, seemed to improve brain function in the young mice given xanthohumol doses. The cognitive flexibility of the mice was tested with a specially designed maze, and younger mice showed signs of intellectual improvement. Older mice showed no improvements. Researchers believe xanthohumol and other flavonoids, such as those found in red wine, blueberries and dark chocolate, may play a role in helping a person form memories. The mice were given very high doses of the flavonoid. A person would have to drink roughly 2,000 liters of beer a day to equal what the mice consumed to show improvement. However, should a supplement hit the market down the road, it may just be possible for men and women to consume a potentially beneficial amount of xanthohumol without bellying up at the bar. One of the goals of the xanthohumol study was to examine its potential efficacy at treating age-related deficits in memory. Xanthohumol also may benefit those with metabolic syndrome, a condition associated with obesity and high blood pressure, as it can speed metabolism and reduce fatty acids in the liver. Flavonoids are plant compounds that often provide plants with their color. Scientists have attributed many health benefits to flavonoids in foods and plants and have even suggested flavonoids can help in the fight against cancer and heart disease. Xanthohumol is rare and is most often found in the hops commonly used to make beer. While doctors and researchers do not suggest running out and consuming a few six packs right now in the goal of improving brain function and cramming for that next test, xanthohumol may one day be harvested from beer hops to slow down age-related memory deficits.

Strategies in coping with grief during the holidays By Ashley Reimers
areimers@colorado communitymedia.com For some, the holidays aren’t always a jolly time, especially for those grieving the loss of a loved one. “As much as people look forward to the joy of the holiday season, for those who have experienced the death of a loved one, the holidays can become overwhelming with feelings of depression, uncertainty, sadness or anxiety,” said Donna Wilcox, a spiritual care and bereavement coordinator at Heartland Hospice. “These feelings can make getting through the holidays especially difficult.”
Aurora
To help support people dealing with grief, Heartland Hospice in Westminster is offering free drop-in grief group sessions to the community the second Thursday of every month. The session is 9-10 a.m. and on Dec. 11 at Heartland, 8774 Yates Drive No. 100. During the session, Wilcox educates the group on what grief is, discusses the challenges people may face during the holiday season and offers coping strategies. Wilcox also touches on the physical effects and intellectual/cognitive effects of grief. “There are many ways to cope with grief, but one suggestion I always give families is setting a place at the table for the person who’s passed away,” she said. “Then give each person an index card to write down a

memory of that person. The memories can then be read during dinner. You’ll laugh and cry, but it’s a chance to spend a moment remembering that person.” Other coping tips include creating a memory box, focusing on others in need through volunteering, staying physically healthy by exercising, getting adequate sleep and being mindful of unnecessary triggers. Wilcox also suggests that when faced with holiday traditions, be mindful of things that can be handled and of what needs to be changed. “Let others know of the changes you intend to make,” she said. “Do not pressure yourself to keep everything the same as previous years. And let others know when you commit to attend an event you reserve

Plentiful choices for books as gifts HISTORY
GENERAL NON-FICTION
Your connoisseur of cocktails will love opening “Bourbon: A History of the American Spirit” by Dane Huckelbridge. This book takes a look at this drink that’s older than you think, and uniquely American. Pair it up with a couple of good glasses and “Moonshine Nation” by Mark Spivak. It’s a history of the spirit, and your giftee will absolutely love that it contains party-worthy recipes! For the lead on the debate team, “Impolite Conversations” by Cora Daniels and John L. Jackson Jr. will be a welcome gift. This discussion on all the things that start an argument in polite circles (race, politics, sex, cash, and God) may poke thoughts or anger; either way, it’s perfect for the person who loves a good, challenging argument. Add “Living with a Wild God” by Barbara Ehrenreich – a nonbeliever’s quest for a higher power – for a debatably perfect gift. The animal lover on your list will sit up and beg for “Animal Madness” by Laurel Braitman. It’s a book about how neurotic, anxiety-ridden, misbehaving animals – domestic and otherwise – may hold clues to our own behavior. Pair it up with “Wild Connection” by Jennifer L. Verdolin, a book about animal courtship and how we’re more like them than we know… And for any dog lover you know, a twopronged book will be just right. First, you’ll want to fetch “Dogs in Cars” by Lara Jo Regan, a pictorial of (you guessed it) very happy dogs in very cool cars. Then add “Shake Puppies” by Carli Davidson, a book filled with pictures of (guessed it again) puppies in the midst of a good soul-fixing shake. For sure, these books made me hug my furboys, and they’re double delight for your doggie demands. I was, by the way, completely, totally
charmed by “Harlow & Sage (and Indiana)” by Brittni Vega, a tale (with pictures!) of three four-footed best friends and their adventures. It’s absolutely something your dog-lover would beg for. For the spiritual person on your gift list, “The Grateful Table” by Brenda Knight, foreword by Nina Lesowitz will be an excellent book to wrap up. It’s filled with prayers, graces and thoughts meant for mealtime, but not only. Your giftee will be more than welcome to use it anytime… maybe even right after it’s opened! Pair it up with “Having the Time of Your Life: Little Lessons to Live By” by Allen Klein, a book of quotations to further enhance joy. The movie buff on your list will eat up “The Zombie Book: An Encyclopedia of the Living Dead” by Nick Redfern, with Brad Steiger. It’s filled with entries on the genre, including directors, plots, and TV shows. Innocent fun – no. A welcome gruesome gift – absolutely yes! Wrap it up with “The Government UFO Files: The Conspiracy of Cover-Up” by Kevin D. Randle for a gift that creeps on giving. One more thing for your movie buff: “The Sci-Fi Movie Guide” by Chris Barsanti. It’s packed with SF goodness, facts, and bios, and when you add in a DVD of your favorite oldie-but-a-goodie, you know it’ll be the best thing beneath the tree. So there’s a mathematician on your gift list, or someone who loves numbers? Then look for “Whatever Happened to the Metric System?” by John Bemelmans Barciano. It’s a great account of why we don’t largely use millimeters and centimeters, but why science does and Europeans definitely do. It’ll be a great gift – count on it.
his life. Pair it with “War Dogs” by Rebecca Frankel, a book filled with tales of fourlegged heroes and their fellow (human) soldiers. For the veteran in your life – or for the historian who studies the Vietnam War, look for “Defiant” by Alvin Townley. It’s the story of eleven POWs held in Hanoi during the war, how they survived, and what happened to them (and their families) in the years since their release. Historians who also love a little geography in their books will love “Empire’s Crossroads: A History of the Caribbean from Columbus to the Present Day” by Carrie Gibson. It’s a sweeping brick-of-abook that encompasses the whole area, the countries that have laid claim to it over the years, and the people who live there now.

The Royal Watcher on your list might like watching back a few hundred years with “How to Ruin a Queen” by Jonathan Beckman. This book is about Marie Antoinette, Louis XVI, their lives and times – but it also focuses on a true crime mystery of missing diamonds. Yep, this book might work for your favorite mystery maven, too. Wrap it up with “The Romanov Sisters” by Helen Rappaport, a book about Russian Tzar Nicholas’ four daughters and the horrifying end of their young lives. A curious history for those on the go is “Winnebago Nation” by James B. Twitchell. This book examines our love of RVs, campers, and travel, and it includes plenty of old ads and pictures. Wrap it with a journal and a map for a great gift. World War II buffs probably have shelves and shelves of books about the War, but here’s an unusual book that might work as a gift this year: “The Dog Who Could Fly” by Damien Lewis, It’s the tale of a two-legged airman and his four-legged co-pilot, a small German shepherd that accompanied his human on many flights and even saved

Books Continued from Page 19
This memoir from the first woman to ski across the globe’s southern-most continent all by herself is filled with danger, adventure, and everything armchair daredevils want. Pair it up with “A World of Her Own” by Michael Elsohn Ross, which is absolutely filled with adventure through profiles of 24 women explorers from years ago and today. If there’s a storyteller on your gift list this year, then “Shake Terribly the Earth” by Sara Beth Childers might be the best thing you can give. It’s a book filled with tales of the Appalachian Mountains and its people: growing up, knowing your kin, and holding friend-of-a-friend tales up for examination. Stefani Germanotta. If that name means something to someone on your gift list, then you’ll get a lot of smiles when you give “Lady Gaga: Born to Be Free,” an unauthorized biography by Jake Brown. This book takes a good look at the Lady herself, her fans, her career, and yes, there are pictures inside… Wrap it up with “Benson: The Autobiography” by George Benson (with Alan Goldsher). Yep, it’s about (and by) the musician himself – his life, his friends, and his tunes. You might also want to look for “The Beat of My Own Drum” by Sheila E., which is the story of her life on and offstage, and how she overcame abuse she endured as a child. For the person who loves compelling memoirs, “The Answer to the Riddle is Me: A Memoir of Amnesia” by David Stuart MacLean could be the best gift ever. It’sthe story of a man who lost nearly every memory he had and his journey, not only back home to America, but to the life that almost disappeared forever. Wrap it up with “A Long Way Home” by Saroo Brierley, the story of a child who got lost on a train, the man he became, and his return home – twenty-five years later, all because of a small memory and a website. The romantic soul on your list will LOVE “Romance is My Day Job” by Patience Bloom. Bloom is an editor at romancenovel giant Harlequin, but she’d never found love herself. She’d given up on it, in fact, until a tiny little chance encounter
December 4, 2014 changed everything. Happy ending? I’m not saying, but it’s a romance, after all, you know… The art lover on your list will smile enigmatically when opening “Mona Lisa: A Life Discovered” by Dianne Hales. It’s the story of da Vinci’s most famous model, her life, and what life was like when she sat for her portrait.
HEALTH-RELATED BOOKS
What do you give to the person who’s going through the trial of her life? You might wrap up “A Breast Cancer Alphabet” by Madhulika Sikka. In here, your friend will find advice, a bit of humor, information from the Been-There, Done-That crew, and more. Bonus: it’s an easy book to browse. For the forward thinker on your list, “Cannabis Pharmacy” by Michael Backes may be just the right thing to wrap. This is a book about growing, using, and knowing about medical marijuana, from the plant to the end user and everything in between. In the wake of the Sandy Hook incident, “The Price of Silence” by Liza Long asks the question that many mothers asked: what if the shooter was my child? This book takes a look at mental illness in children, from the perspective of a family member, and it’s a fascinating book that could make a stellar gift. If there’s a First Responder on your gift list, you can’t go wrong when you give “Bulletproof Spirit” by Captain Dan Willis. It’s filled with non-conventional advice, information on staying emotionally strong, and exercises he (or she!) can do to heal and stay well, both in body and in mind. Wrap it up with “The Body Keeps the Score” by Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D., a book about how the brain can help the body heal from the aftereffects of trauma. So you have a deep thinker on your list, and you’re not sure what to give? Think hard, and consider “The Slaughter” by Ethan Gutmann. In this book, the author tells the story of what he says is a dirty little secret in China – which includes mass murder and more. Warning: it’s not for the faint of heart. For the yoga aficionado, “Going Om,” edited by Melissa Carroll will make a perfect gift. This is a book filled with essays of yoga and what it does to mind, body, and spirit. Wrap it up with a brand-new map and wait for the hugs. Wrap it up with “A Book of Miracles” by Dr. Bernie S. Siegel, a
nice anthology of healing, hope, and heartfelt thankfulness. For the med student you know, take a look at “Grief Sucks… But Love Bears All Things” by Gayle Taylor Davis. It’s a story of loss, and living through it – something your giftee may need to know about in the new career. You also may want to find “Changing the Way We Die” by Fran Smith and Sheila Himmel. It’s a book about hospice care and the hospice movement. For another look at the same subject, you may want to look for “Unremarried Widow” by Artis Henderson (by a military widow); “Confessions of a Mediocre Widow” by Catherine Tidd (by a young widow with three small kids); or “Young Widower: A Memoir” by John W. Evans (a man’s perspective on this subject). Do we need our ears to feed our brain? That’s the question in “I Can Hear You Whisper” by Lydia Denworth, scientist and mother of a hearing-impaired little boy. This book takes a look at the subject of learning and hearing, psychology, neurology, and the Deaf community, and it’s a great gift for anyone who’s studying or living this issue. I also liked “Struck by Genius” by Jason Padgett and Maureen Seaberg. It’s the story of a crime, an injury that could have been devastating, and a surprising gift that came out of an almost-tragedy. You may have someone on your gift list who’s struggling with vision loss – and if that’s the case, then look for “The Way We See It” by various contributors who’ve struggled with the same thing. It’s available online at www.visionlossresources.org, and its large print is perfect for anyone who must see life in a different way.
AFRICAN AMERICAN AUTHORS
For the beauty on your gift list, wrap up “Bill Duke’s Dark Girls,” photography by Barron Claiborne, interviews by Shelia P. Moses. This wonderful book showcases the beauty of women in many skin tones, and the feelings they have for their unique color. Hint: this book is not just for young women; grandma might like reading it, too! You may need to find a gift for the historian who has everything, so look for “Samuel Wilbert Tucker: The Story of a Civil Rights Trailblazer and the 1939 Alexandria Library Sit-In” by Nancy Noyes Silcox. Except for the fact that it has an abundance of pictures and a great timeline, the title says it all.
BUSINESS For the businessperson who can’t quite conquer being on top of everything, wrap up “The Organized Mind” by Daniel J. Levitin. This book takes a look at why our brains are packed tight and how some leaders deal with business TMI. Wrap it up with another fascinating book, “The Marshmallow Test” by Walter Mischel, a book about self-control and how to conquer and use yours. If there’s someone on your gift list who’s new to business and is just learning the ropes, wrap up “Compelling People” by John Neffinger and Matthew Kohut. This book uncovers the traits that give someone the ability to sway others and, in turn, to be successful. Wrap it up with “Perfecting Your Pitch” by Ronald M. Shapiro, a very useful communications book that helps your readers reach for success, but not just in business. For the person who’s just learning the art of managing money, “The Handy Investing Answer Book” by Paul A. Tucci is a great introduction. With a handy question-and-answer format and easy-to-understand info, it could help your giftee into the next family mogul. Hint: it could also be a nice refresher for someone who’s been around the bank a time or two.
LGBT ISSUES For the person on your list who’s thinking of parenthood, “Mommy Man” by Jerry Mahoney could be just the thing to wrap up. It’s the (often very funny) story of a man who never thought he’d have a family, ever, until he and his partner decide that they want a kid – and a great story to tell him (or her!) in years to come. If your giftee is reaching for a conclusion on religion and lifestyle, then “God and the Gay Christian” by Matthew Vines could be an excellent gift. This book delves deeply into Biblical teaching, but it also contains the author’s personal story of his relationship with family and faith. For fans of fast-paced thriller-mysteries, “The Talk Show” by Joe Wenke may be a goodie to wrap up. It’s a novel about a controversial talk show host, a reporter who makes a deal with that devil, and the “family” who fears for the reporter’s life – as well as each of their own.

D’Evelyn senior Christian Denton was not only an x-factor for his team during the regular season but he was a clutch performer in the postseason. That is why Denton was selected for the All-CCM Soccer Team. Photo by Dan Williams
Our picks in top soccer players Jeffco soccer among state’s most talented leagues By Daniel Williams dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com Jeffco was perhaps the best poundfor-pound soccer conference in the state thanks to student athletes that represented some of the state’s best talent. So there were many candidates to choose from for the annual All-Colorado Community Media Team, honoring the best individual prep efforts of the season. Congratulations to the following student athletes:
Herbie Martinez (Alameda); The junior had 14 goals and three assists for the Pirates who had a very successful season. Martinez could challenge to be the best 4A player in league next season. Kyler Fowkes (Arvada West); Not only was the junior a prolific goal scorer, 10 goals this season, but he was also a prolific passer, distributing nine assists. Wesley Tedstrom (D’Evelyn); The best underclassman in Jeffco this season, the sophomore scored 10 goals and assisted on two more. Look out for this kid over the next couple seasons. Chris Lindon (D’Evelyn); The senior goaltender was the ultimate team leader for the Jaguars, who were one of the best teams in the state. Lindon recorded 79 saves.
Garret Potts (Faith Christian); The Eagles have found something special in Potts. Just a freshman, he scored a dozen goals this season for a Faith team that won 10 games. Casey Crowley (Golden); The corner kick specialist was also a big time producer of offense, scoring seven goals and assisting on five others. The senior will be sorely missed next year. Isaac Rubio (Green Mountain); Only an underclassman, Rubio recorded eight goals and two assists for the Rams who look like they could be a force next season. Abdiel Hinojos (Jefferson); The Saints struggled for the first time in a few seasons but it wasn’t because Hinojos. The senior scored 11 goals and two assists this season. Alejandro Avila (Lakewood); The ju-
nior paced the Tigers in points, producing seven goals and two assists. Avila helped keep Lakewood relevant in 5A Jeffco Luis Aguilar (Pomona); The junior was the Panthers most consistent players and routinely played big in big moments. Aguilar scored five goals and assisted on three more. Daniel Black (Ralston Valley); This junior goaltender game up big repeatedly for the Mustangs and he was a huge reason why Ralston Valley finished with a perfect 7-0 record in 5A Jeffco. Max Sweeney (Wheat Ridge); The Farmers had a down season — in terms of their high standards — but keeping them competitive all season was the senior Sweeney who not only scored five goals but he was also a true team leader.
Top players on the football field Linebackers, running backs fill out our annual list By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com Offense always gets the crowd excited, but there were just as many outstanding defensive players throughout Jeffco as there was offensive players this season. Moreover, Jeffco as a conference was outstanding this season, as teams like Ralston Valley and Pomona both made runs at a state championship. But now that the season is over it is time to announce the annual All-Colorado Community Media Team, honoring the best individual prep efforts of the season. Congratulations to the following student athletes: Alfonso Nunez (Arvada); Despite his team struggling this season, Nunez was the Bulldogs’ most productive player. The senior linebacker was a tackling machine who also recovered three fumbles this season. Tyler Lewis (Arvada West); Few linebackers in Jeffco were more productive than Lewis. The senior captain recorded 128 tackles, nine sacks and forced eight fumbles this season. Olabisi Johnson (Bear Creek); Already all-timer Jeffco athlete, the senior was not
Golden senior Cole Greff lunges for what was a critical third down conversion against Kennedy early in the season. Extraordinary efforts like this made Greff an easy selection for our All-CCM Football Team which we honor annually. Photo by Dan Williams only the Bears’ best defensive player recording 100 tackles and two interceptions, but their best offensive weapon as well, producing over 1,500 yards of total offense running receiver. Ian Lewis (D’Evelyn); The senior running back was a total yards monster accu-
mulating 1,178 rushing and 501 receiving yards. He also produced 11 touchdowns. Cole Greff (Golden); The senior shined at linebacker but he was truly a jack of all trades for the Demons this season. Besides producing 115 tackles and four sacks, Greff was also a solid receiver and even played a
little running back. Logan Maxwell (Green Mountain); The junior cornerback was a ball-hawk the entire season intercepting five balls. A solid tackler in the secondary as well, Maxwell was also used as an effective return man. Adam Buchmann (Faith Christian); The junior had his season ended by a devastating ankle injury but he was the backbone of the Eagles highly productive offense. His 113.6 quarterback rating was as impressive as his 17 total touchdowns to only three interception ratio. Chase Braun (Lakewood); The senior linebacker was a mass producer of tackles for the Tigers this season. Braun recorded 131 tackles and five sacks. Isaac Marquez (Pomona); The senior was simply spectacular offensively the entire season averaging over 158 total yards per game. But even more impressive was his 26 touchdowns. Andrew Wingard (Ralston Valley); Truly an all-time Jeffco football stallion, Wingard carried the Mustangs all the way to the state semifinals. His stat-line of 1,600-plus yards and 32 total touchdowns is incredible. He is also a heck of a defensive back, recording three interceptions and 76 tackles. Jordan Jones (Wheat Ridge); The senior running back was the main generator of the Farmers’ offensive production this season. Jones accounted for 1,937 total yards of offense and 26 total touchdowns.

Top performers in on the court We honor some of the state’s best hitters and pitchers By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com Jeffco volleyball did not have a team that made a deep playoff run yet the fierce competition within both 4A and 5A Jeffco kept the chase for a conference title interesting. Despite not having a team that competed for a state champion Jeffco has some of the state’s best volleyball talent within its two conferences. That made it easy for us to select the annual All-Colorado Community Media Team: Aly Pena (Alameda); Pena was one of a couple senior leaders for Alameda but we selected her because of her consistency over the course of the season and for several big time games she said. Kassie Ingenthrone (Arvada); The senior stood out despite playing one a team that finished at
Arvada West junior Mikaila Paxton is one of the most dynamic players in Jeffco. Paxton’s big play combined with her big numbers made it easy to put her on the All Colorado Community Media Team. Photo by Dan Williams the bottom of the league standings. A team leader, Ingenthrone will definitely be missed next season. Makaila Paxton (Arvada West); The junior is one of the most fun players in all of Jeffco to watch, mainly because of her ferocious kill shots. She also had a huge stat line this season that consisted of 135 kills to only 69 attack errors. Jozy Carlacci-King (Bear Creek); An all-time Bears’ volleyball player, Carlacci-King had a huge
year for a good Bear Creek team. She finished with the season with 227 kill shots and 35 blocks. Jace Kleffner (D’Evelyn); The senior helped keep D’Evelyn in the mix for a league title all season with her huge statistical output: 224 attack kills, 122 digs and 28 blocks. Kathleen Kasel (Golden); The senior was just one of a few different Golden players we considered, but Kasel was selected because of her senior leadership
and consistency. She also produced 23 blocks and 18 aces this season. Danielle Potter (Green Mountain); There are few players over the years that have played volleyball in Jeffco at as high of a level as the senior. Potter was a juggernaut, recording 317 attack kills, 3o blocks and 25 aces. Raegen Jackson (Lakewood); The senior leader had a big time season for the Tigers generating 167 kills and 18 aces. One of the
Alexandria WilliamsDaugherty (Ralston Valley); Routinely punishing defenders with big time kill shots (215 this season), she also was one of the toughest servers in Jeffco recording 34 aces. Nina Thomas (Wheat Ridge); The senior continuously delivered for her teammates and by season’s end she produced giant numbers including 184 kills and 25 aces. The Farmers will miss her next season.
great Lakewood team leaders, she will be missed. Julia Baskin (Pomona); One of the easiest choices for our honor, the junior was one of the biggest producers in all of Jeffco. She finished with 299 kills and 35 blocks. Simone Gibeau (Ralston Valley); One of the best volleyball players in Mustangs’ history, Gibeau was spectacular this season converting 223 kills while leading her team to a league title.

Logan won while CU is done By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia.com Just a high school football coach? That was the reputation that Dave Logan had even up until last week. But after the Cherry Creek head coach led his team to a historic 25-24 5A championship victory Saturday over Valor Christian, Logan truly become an icon. Logan didn’t only win his seventh Colorado state title with his fourth different team but he did it by knocking off a team that was a perfect 27-0 in state playoff games. The former Wheat Ridge Farmer, who is known for being the radio voice of the Denver Broncos, is now equally known for being one of the greatest coaches in the history of Colorado sports. Bill McCartney, Dan Reeves, George Karl, Sonny Lubick, Doug Moe, Eddie Crowder, Ceal Berry, Larry Brown, Dick Katte — even Mike Shanahan, all have resumes that are second to Logan’s. Creating a brand and winning a couple titles at one school is special. Winning championships at two different programs is even better. Leading three different institutions to state titles is unprecedented. But leading four different programs to the promise land is truly unbelievable. And not only does make Logan a legend but it should make some people sick. Particularly the “brass” that does the hiring at the University of Colorado, who had not one, not two, not even three but four opportunities to hire the alum Logan to rebuild its fledgling brand. While CU is wrapping up another abysmal season (210) Logan continues to stay relevant and acquire championships as if they were the latest iPhone. Colorado could have hired Logan in 1999 but instead choose Gary Barnett, who was fired after an ugly ending to his tenure. Colorado could have then hired Logan in 2005 but instead selected Dan Hawkins, who was fired after having little to no success. Colorado could have then hired Logan after stating that they wanted a “Colorado guy,” in 2009, but instead choose the absolutely wrong guy in John Embree. And in 2013, Colorado again passed on Logan and hired Mike MacIntyre, who has won only six games in two seasons. It is no surprise why the Buffaloes have been down for so long. But what is a surprise is that Colorado hasn’t begged Logan to come in and revive its program. While Colorado is making history for all of the wrong reasons Logan is literally rewriting national high school football record books and with his seventh title arguably becomes the greatest high school coach of all time. No other coach in the history of High school athletics nationally has won championships at four different programs at the highest classification level. While Mullen is feeling and looking foolish for letting Logan go over a power struggle, which he clearly should have won three years ago, at least Mullen got four state titles out of him. What is the University of Colorado’s excuse?
SPORTS QUIZ 1) Who holds the record for most Opening Day starts by a pitcher? 2) Which of the following players had the most seasons of 40 or more home runs for the Philadelphia Phillies: Chuck Klein, Mike Schmidt or Jim Thome? 3) When was the last time before the 2012 season that the Stanford football team won the Rose Bowl? 4) Who was the last Maryland player drafted by an NBA team in the top five picks before Alex Len was selected No. 5 by Phoenix in 2013? 5) In 2014, Jeff Carter and Drew Doughty became the seventh and eighth NHL players to win an Olympic gold medal and a Stanley Cup in the same year.

Pit bulls lead way in euthanizations By Burt Hubbard and Jeremy Jojola
Rocky Mountain PBS I-News and 9News The animal shelter serving El Paso County and its cities euthanized more than one pit bull a day last year, making it the most euthanized breed along the Front Range, according to an investigation by Rocky Mountain PBS I-News and 9News. The two news organizations analyzed dog euthanasia cases from 2013 at the major shelters along the Front Range. Combined, they accounted for about 4,800 of the 7,000 dogs euthanized statewide. However, the number of dogs euthanized in the state was small when compared to the number of dogs that shelters adopt out or return to their owners. In 2013, shelters found homes for almost 53,000 dogs and returned close to another
24,000 to their owners. Pit bulls stood out as a breed for euthanasia, accounting for 766 of the Front Range cases. More than half of those, 445, took place at the Humane Society of Pikes Peak, the shelter for El Paso County and its cities. They totaled about 40 percent of all of the roughly 1,100 dogs put down at the shelter last year. Jan Smith, director of the shelter, said a combination of factors account for the high numbers. “They’re a very popular breed here in El Paso County, so we see a large influx of those animals coming in,” Smith said. In addition, the county’s population tends to be transient, leading to a large number of stray animals, she said. “What’s interesting is that about 72 percent of those dogs (pit bulls coming to the
shelters) are strays,” Smith said. She said the pit bulls are harder to place with families than other breeds taken in by the shelter. “We are outraged about the number of animals we have to euthanize every year,” Smith said. “We’re working proactively to try to get these dogs into homes.” Roger Haston, executive director of the Animal Assistance Foundation, said another problem is that spay and neutering by pit bull owners is lacking. “The shelters are simply a reflection of what is going on in the community,” Haston said. The analysis showed that almost 90 percent of the pit bulls euthanized at the shelter were because of aggression or high arousal tendencies. That compares to 50 percent of all euthanasia cases for all
breeds along the Front Range. But animal rights activist Davyd Smith of No Kill Colorado said shelters are too quick to label pit bulls as aggressive. “We’re killing dogs that have a square head, short hair and straight tail,” Smith said. “It has nothing to do with their behavior. The shelter serving all of Jefferson County and its cities euthanized 125 pit bulls in 2013, the second highest number along the Front Range. Denver and Aurora, which both ban pit bulls, euthanized 89 combined. Labradors were the second most euthanized breed along the Front Range last year, 435 cases, followed by Chihuahuas, 337, and German shepherds, 230.
Holiday entertaining tips By Ryann Nickerson
Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes at CU Anschutz As a host, cooking for a group can be a challenge, especially when some members have special dietary needs like diabetes. Around the holidays, it can be hard to stick to a healthy routine, but if you have diabetes, it is essential to make smart eating choices. You can provide guests good options at your holiday gathering by using these tips from the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes in the School of Medicine at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus: Many adults with diabetes can drink alcohol and should follow the same guidelines as the general public: an average of up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men. Provide sugar free mixes for drinks instead of high calorie mixers like regular soda, tonic, juice or margarita mix that are all packed with carbohydrate and sugar. Make a few changes to your favorite “classic” recipe: choose low-calorie or baked (not fried) options. Provide a meal with a

good mixture of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Vegetables and squash make healthy and tasty side dishes. Watch the use of saturated fats, processed fats and simple sugars, which are unhealthy in general but are dangerous for people with diabetes. Go homemade. Most store bought foods often have unpronounceable ingredients that should be avoided. After the “big” meal, encourage everyone to take a 30 to 40 minute walk. Aerobic exercise is good for all of us, especially those with diabetes. Everyone is different based on healthstatus and medications that are being taken, so there is no “right” meal. But you can help your guests have a healthy, delicious holiday season. In America, there are 24 million individuals living with diabetes, not including the 6 million who have diabetes but haven’t yet been diagnosed. Another 86 million Americans have pre-diabetes, a condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal but are not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes. And the incidence of the diabetes is increasing dramatically.
SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF DEC 1, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) There could be an unexpected change in plans for your upcoming holiday travels. But keep in mind that a little flexibility goes a long way in resolving any disappointments. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A new relationship might not be responding quite as quickly as you’d hoped. Could you be expecting too much too soon? Try to ease up and let things happen at their own pace. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) As we approach the frenetic pace of pre-holiday planning, take time out now to reconnect with the wonderful people who share your life, especially the one who also shares your dreams.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A misunderstanding should be resolved before you get caught up in the flurry of holiday preparations. Set your pride aside and deal with it, regardless of who might have hurt whom first. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Being told that a colleague might have been trying to undercut your effectiveness might or might not be true. Get all the facts before you even think about acting on this so-called information. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) It’s a good idea to start your holiday preparation plans early in order to avoid a time crunch if an unresolved workplace situation causes a problem. That old friend might have some welcome news. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A family member’s actions continue to surprise you, but this time with positive results. Could be your wise counsel finally got through. It’s like having an early holiday gift, isn’t it? SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Your reluctance to act in a current situation could be traced to your inner self advising you to take more time to study its complexities before you attempt to deal with it. Good luck. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Soothing hurt feelings before they can ignite an angry outburst is the wise thing to do. And, of course, when it comes to doing the “wisdom thing,” you do it so well. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Budget your time so that you can handle both your workplace duties and your personal holiday planning -- including travel arrangements -- without burning out on either end. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) You might find that you still need to firm up one or two of those stilloutstanding decisions so that you finally can move forward as you had planned. Weigh the facts, then act. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) You usually don’t carry grudges, but you might feel this is one time when you’re justified in doing so. But aren’t you spending too much energy holding onto it? Let it go and move on. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of using your quiet strength to persuade people to follow their better instincts and do the right thing. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

A journey in justice Book explores law enforcement settings for blacks “Justice While Black” by Robbin Shipp, Esq. and Nick Chiles 2014, Bolden $14 / $17.50 Canada 160 pages You have the right to remain silent. But then, you already know that. You’ve seen it all your life on TV, read it in books, heard it in movies. It’s almost become a cliché. You have the right to remain silent, but you also have the right to speak up – which is precisely one of the things you don’t want to do if you’re arrested. In “Justice While Black” by Robbin Shipp, Esq. and Nick Chiles, you’ll learn why, among other things. It is a sobering story — one in three young black men can expect to be jailed in his lifetime. The number of imprisoned Public Notice African Americans is disproportionate to INVITATION FOR the number of jailed whites in this counCONTRACTOR PRE-QUALIFICATION try. Description: Everyone The with darkMetskin knows about Project Cimarron ropolitan District (CMD) is seeking ConDriving While Black and Shopping While tractors (GC) to submit qualifications for theBlack. construction of Utilities, Concrete, Paving and Landscaping for Filing 4 of the Candelas Community. And, of course, there are the headlines. The fact is that if you’re Announcement Date: December 4, 2014 black – par-
ticularly if you’re a black male, Attorney Shipp says — you are vulnerable to being a potential suspect in a crime. It doesn’t matter who you are, who your father is, or even if you’re innocent: as soon as you’re put in the back of a police car, you’re probably going to jail. If that happens, the first thing to remember is to go against human nature and shut up. Be polite, answer questions succinctly, but don’t try to talk yourself out of anything. It won’t work; it could make things worse. Know your constitutional rights, laws of search and seizure, and other rules, and teach them to your children. Shipp says that the Nation of Islam has proven the propriety of this: rarely does she see Muslim clients, in or out of jail.
Public Notice NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT at the meeting of the City Council to be held on MONDAY, the 15th day of December, 2014, at 6:30 p.m. at the Municipal Building, 8101 Ralston Road, Arvada CO, City Council will hold a public hearing on the following proposed ordinances and thereafter will consider them for final passage and adoption.

rest. Remember that the prison system is driven by economics. Don’t think that you can’t afford a private lawyer; talent doesn’t necessarily cost much. Ask questions and accept advice, but think hard before accepting a plea deal. And above all: never stop hoping. Turn on the news, pick up the paper, and you know that everything’s changed – or has it? A basic history of African Americans, police, and prison is part of what you’ll find inside “Justice While Black.” Like a gavel on a judge’s bench, author Robbin Shipp (with Nick Chiles) hammers home point after important point on each page, with information that will make you want to take notes (but you don’t have to; there’s a handy synopsis in the back). Her advice covers adults and children as young as four years old, male and female, and includes tips on minimizing trouble and finding the right attorney. I was astounded at this book (oh, those stats!) and at what can be learned in 160 short pages. While Shipp adamantly states that this book doesn’t replace face-to-face counsel, I absolutely believe its $14 price tag is an invaluable beginning for your family’s protection. For you, “Justice While Black” could be the right book on your shelf.
