Ron Sandstrom, the Republican candidate for Jeffco County assessor, has been saddled with back taxes, according to a trio of judgments brought against him by the Colorado Department of Revenue. The unpaid state income tax amounts show balances of about $1,000 to $6,000 listed during the years of 2006-11, court documents reveal. When contacted for comment, Sandstrom declined to be interviewed. While it is possible Sandstrom paid off his balances but not yet filed that information, the statuses of the judgments filed at the civil district court in Jeffco remain “unsatisfied.” A separate judgment filed by Discover
Bank in 2009 showed Sandstrom in arrears by $8,487.10 which include attorney’s fees, for failing to pay the liquidated balance from his credit card. In addition to the judgments placed against Sandstrom, two filings for tax liens were placed by the IRS for unpaid federal income taxes. Tax periods ending in December 2007 and 2008 show a total of $26,016.27 in money owed. The second tax lien shows a total of $41,083.76 Sandstrom money owned for tax periods ending in December 2009-2010. During the 2014 Republican primaries, Sandstrom beat his opponent, Lou D’Aurio, who won the county assembly vote with 51.50 percent, receiving 3.22 percent more votes than Sandstrom. D’Aurio has been the deputy county assessor for the last 15 years. An assessor is responsible for assessing property values while compiling a list of all real and private properties, excluding schools,
churches and charities. The assessor finds a fair market value that calculates a property owner’s fair share of taxes owed. Sandstrom will be on the November ballot against Democratic candidate Andrew Hassinger, and Libertarian candidate Patrick Sullivan. In 1989, Sandstrom opened F&S Tax consultants, a small business that assists in property tax disputes. In the last 34 years, Sandstrom has focused on handling disputes with the Jeffco Assessor’s Office as well as serving on a number of taxation legislative committees and writing tax bills for property. If elected, Sandstrom said he would like to mend problems at the assessor’s office that relate to record keeping and speeding up hearing process for disputes, which is part of his initiative to bring efficiency and fairness. “The assessor’s office needs fresh air,” Sandstrom said to the Transcript back in June. “I know the tax law on property very well,” he said. “I feel I know the taxpayer because having worked with the taxpayer I can understand where the tax payer is coming from.”
Repairs to be done on city water tank By Ashley Reimers
areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Beginning in October, construction will commence on the rehabilitation and recoating of the Hydropillar, an elevated water storage tank in Westminster. The Hydropillar is one of 12 storage tanks in the city, which are necessary to provide water flow during periods of high demand, provide sustained water pressure in the system and provide water
during an emergency situation. The tank, located off 97th Avenue between Federal and Lowell Boulevards, was built in 1979 and can hold 2 million gallons of water. The repairs, to be done during the fall and winter months, will extend the life of the tank. “The Hydropillar is the next tank in our water tank repairs program,” said Stephen Grooters, senior projects engineer for the city. “So far the city has had an aggressive system to do regular repairs to all of our tanks, the Hydropillar is the next one in line. We try to plan
construction on these projects during low water demand.” The repairs to be completed include: safety equipment repairs, interior structural repairs like the piping, overflow and beams and corrosion repairs. The Hydropillar will also get an external recoating makeover for added corrosion protection and an improved appearance. The tank will be painted a cool blue color and an updated Westminster logo will be added. “People can expect to see an elevated crane working in the area,” Grooters said. “And eventually a
containment shroud will be in place circling the tank to help protect the tank and the surrounding area during the recoating.” Working hours will be restricted to 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays to limit the impact of construction equipment in the area and work noise. Cost of the project is approximately $1.58 million and will be complete by next summer.

For dad and daughter, a game that two can coach Caley Mitchell stands next to third base, a white baseball cap shading her eyes, a single braid running down her back. Intensity radiates from her small frame as she leans her hands on her knees and looks toward the batter at home plate. “OK, line drive, two-three, you can do it,” she says. “Big zone, fight it off. Good job.” She claps several times. “You can do it. Right here.” The batter strikes out. New inning. “All right, let’s go, hustle,” Caley tells her players as they run onto the field. “Hey, a lot of eyes … you never know, you never know.” In another ballpark, on another day, Toby Tabola, sunglasses perched atop the baseball cap on his head, paces next to third base, stops to send his batter her signals, then leans his hands on his knees. “Get it started, six. C’mon, you can do it,” he says, his voice quiet, confident. “Don’t give up here. You got it. Good job.” He claps and nods encouragement. “C’mon, six, go get it.” The ball pops up. New inning. Toby steps into the dugout, but his words follow the players as they take the field. “A lot of eyes, ladies. Let’s go!” If you listen and watch closely, the similarities between the two softball coaches are apparent. What they say. Mannerisms. How they play the game. Not surprising when you learn they are father and daughter. But what defines them is what you can’t see — the story behind the game, one that tells of family and love, legacies instilled, life lessons well learned. “Being part of something bigger than yourself, such as a team, teaches people to be humble and to put the greater good before yourself,” Caley says. “Being involved in a team sport is one of the best things that ever happened to me. My dad taught
me this from a very young age, and I try to instill that in my players — that belonging to a team, and experiencing the joys and challenges that come with it, is truly a blessing.” The story begins when Caley, now 29, was just 4. Her grandparents sponsored a longtime men’s fast-pitch team, Stenseth Agency. Toby, now 56, played on his own fast-pitch team. Caley always tagged along. “She grew up around the ballparks watching tournaments and watching me play,” Toby says. “She was kind of born into the culture.” Toby, a high school psychology and sociology teacher who retired in 2012 after 32 years, coached football in his early days. Friday night games meant Caley riding with the coaches, eating sunflower seeds, grabbing Cokes at the gas station. “I have vivid memories of sitting and coloring and listening to the coaches strategizing,” Caley says. “I was always part of a team situation. That’s why I love this.” Around 6 years old, Caley picked up a bat for T-ball. Softball started the next year. She joined a competitive summer team at 11, and Toby began coaching her then. “We had a very good father-daughter, coach-player relationship,” Toby says. Caley paid attention to fundamentals. She listened. She learned. She didn’t get angry when her dad corrected her. “She
was a joy to coach.” Caley laughs. She points out at her wedding, in his toast at the reception, Toby noted how “she was a very coachable kid.” In high school, Caley played second base and was good enough to earn allleague honors. A shoulder injury the summer before her senior year changed plans to play in college. Instead, she focused on becoming a social studies teacher. But during the 2006-07 school year, while she was student teaching, she also found her way back to softball as an assistant coach — for her dad, in his first year as head coach at Ponderosa High School in Parker. The next year, Castle View High School in Castle Rock hired Caley to teach. And after three years as assistant softball coach there, she became head coach. The two schools are league rivals. Caley: “The first time we played each other, my dad hugged me at the plate and … gave me a white rose.” Then they exchanged lineups. Toby: “It was a special moment. This is pretty cool to go up to home plate to compete against your daughter. I really didn’t care about winning or losing — it was a cool moment.” The two admittedly mirror each other in many ways. Caley: “I find myself saying things all the time that I think, `I must say that ‘cause you say that.’ ” Toby: “Our philosophies are way similar.” Caley: “Yeah, because I got it from you.” Toby: “A lot of thought went into that philosophy.” Caley: “It’s a great philosophy.” The philosophy is small ball or as Toby calls it, “smart ball.” Or as Caley explains, bunting. Toby: “She knows everything I’m going
to do, pretty much. She knows when I’m going to bunt.” Caley: “‘Cause it’s always when I would bunt.” They both believe in the life lessons taught by the game. Toby: “It builds character. You’re forced to face challenges; you don’t get everything you want when you want it. … You can’t be successful if you’re selfish. It forces you to be bigger than yourselves.” Caley isn’t surprised she’s walking in her dad’s footsteps. “I knew I wanted to be a teacher and a coach from a very young age,” Caley says. “I’ve had a really good role model. Even if other parts of his life were stressful, my dad would always say, `I like my job.’ He was always happy in what he was doing. … He showed that he could have such a large sphere of influence and that choosing a career based on what you love is way more important than money or status.” Toby, for his part, couldn’t be prouder of Caley. Facing her on the softball field — where their bond has been nurtured — is an unexpected bonus. “It’s been a blessing,” he says, “a total blessing.” Caley and Toby haven’t played each other yet this year. The matchup should be good — the teams boast two of the state’s best pitchers. Someday, Caley would like Toby to coach with her. They look at each other: Wouldn’t that be fun? And wouldn’t that just be a fitting end to the story behind this game. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

Metro North Chamber names new CEO By Ashley Reimers
areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Metro North Chamber of Commerce has taken a significant step toward implementation of its growth plan in the north Denver area by hiring Angela Habben to serve as the organization’s new president and chief executive officer. She has worked most recently as vice president and relationship manager for Vectra Wealth Management at Vectra Bank Colorado. She has spent the last 36 years in the banking industry in various capacities.
Habben will begin her new assignment at the Metro North Chamber on Sept. 29. The chamber’s board of directors considered dozens of applicants for the CEO position, finally landing on Habben largely due to the way her work at Vectra Bank dovetails with the needs of the chamber. “When we considered Habben her experience, her skills and her personality, it was clear to us that we had an ideal candidate,” said chamber chair Jennifer Alderfer. “Someone who could come
to work on her first day and immediately begin the pursuit of the chamber’s mission.” Habben noted that her previous work required her to engage with the community and find ways to help improve business people’s effectiveness. “I decided I wanted to expand my professional horizons, and this seemed like the place that I could maximize those efforts,” she said. “I believe my experience in the area of building business relationships will suit the chamber well as we strengthen the chamber’s role in helping the community to grow and develop.” Habben is only the third CEO at MNCC
in the last 20 years. She replaces Deborah Obermeyer, who resigned in May. Shiley Johnson had served as interim CEO, and he will resume his position as director of information and public policy at the chamber. “I am thrilled to know that we will be working with somebody of Angela’s caliber in such an important position during the coming years,” said MNCC chair-elect Troy Whitmore. “I think this addition to the chamber’s staff sends a clear signal to the leaders and business people of the metro north area that this organization will have significant input into the ways that the community moves into the future.”

Tanglewood Creek Trail extended and enhanced Tanglewood Creek Trail was recently completed between 121st and 123rd avenues, now making one continuous trail between 121st and 128th avenues, located between I-25 and Huron Street.In addition, the Tanglewood Creek channel and Timberlake Pond were rehabilitated. Improvements to the channel include removing old grouted rock structures
and replacing them with boulders to create a natural mountain creek feel. Landscaping is new and currently sparse, but when it fills in, it will complement the mountain creek feel with tall native grasses and shrubs. The space around Timberlake Pond was transformed after years of collecting sediment. Dead trees, invasive Russian Olive trees and sediment build-up were removed, and the pond was opened up to its original size that hasn’t been seen in a couple of decades. Decorative boulders and landscaping were added to compliment improvements made to the ponds flood control function. These projects together form a contiguous trail system with a more natural feel.

Teen’s passion for health reaches youth in his community By Ashley Reimers
areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Alex Aleman’s road to health began with a girl. He was in the sixth grade and was smitten. He traded in chips for carrots and took up running. Now the Westminster High School sophomore is fit and strong. “When I met that girl, I didn’t think I looked good enough so I started to exercise,” Aleman, 15, said. “The summer after sixth grade I went to Chicago to visit my godparents and that is when I got my first pair of running shoes. I ran with my godparent by Lake Michigan. It was awesome.” Aleman’s been running ever since. He’s part of the Westminster High School crosscountry team and frequently competes in 5K races such as the BoulderBoulder and the Cherry Creek Sneak. But it wasn’t enough to change his own life. He wanted to transform the lives of other young people. Being healthy isn’t only about looking good he said. It’s about making sure the body feels good. “When I run, I feel good and healthy, and I wanted others to feel that way too,” Aleman said. “Hopefully if I continue to exercise I’ll be healthy all my life. But what about the other
kids? Are they going to be the same? I don’t know.” After taking courses with his mom at a local leadership program, Aleman felt compelled to start a youth fitness class at Highland Hills Perl Mac Community Center. He called it Healthy Kids in Action and offered the first session in summer 2013. He’s had two sessions since, one last fall/winter and the second this past summer. The free class is open to kids in kindergarten through eighth grade and focuses on proper exercising and maintaining a healthy diet. He begins each class with dynamic stretching followed by interval running. And each class always ends with a fun game. But the work doesn’t stop when class ends. Students also have homework. “The students go home with a sheet of paper that they can check off when they’ve done something healthy, like exercising for an hour, eating fruits and vegetables or swapping juice or soda with water,” Aleman said. “The parents have to sign off on the homework and it’s due every Tuesday. For the kids that turn in the homework they get a certificate, which they really enjoy.” Before starting his class, Aleman had to get clearance from Courtney Sibayan, Hyland Hills Youth and Teen Recreation Coordinator.

After he gave her the run-down, it was full throttle. Sibayan admits she doesn’t do much except help with supervision and safety. “Alex takes care of the class curriculum and is completely focused on doing something good for the kids,” she said. “He is a huge role model for the Perl Mack community. The kids truly idolize him and listen to him. He’s amazing.” Aleman won’t be running a fall/winter session this year to focus on school and cross-
country. But he plans on starting the program back up next summer. He’s hoping to take the class outdoors to get his students in the sunshine, enjoying nature. Until then, Aleman continues to concentrate on sticking to his healthy lifestyle, beating last year’s cross-country 5K time and remembering the one girl who started it all. “If I wouldn’t have met that girl,” he said. “I don’t know where I’d be right now.”

WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL ON THE RECORD Westminster City Council voted on the following legislation during the Sept. 8 meeting. Council members in attendance were Mayor Herb Atchison, Mayor Pro Tem Faith Winter and councilors Alberto Garcia, Bruce Baker, Emma Pinter, Bob Briggs and Anita Seitz.
TIP project applications approved Council unanimously authorized city staff to submit project applications to the Denver Regional Council of Governments for funding in the 2016 - 2021 Transportation Improvement Program. The projects
selected for inclusion in the TIP will be funded with federal and local dollars. The minimum local match to any application for federal funding has been set at 20 percent of the total project cost. Staff recommends that a project application be submitted for improvements to Sheridan Boulevard from U.S. 36 south to Turnpike Drive (87th Avenue), which would include roadway widening and the construction of a pedestrian/vehicular underpass of Sheridan Boulevard between the west parking lot of the Westminster Center Park-n-Ride and the Downtown Westminster site. Two
other recommended applications would be for improved pedestrian facilities along 72nd Avenue from Stuart Street to Xavier Street and the Walnut Creek Trail connection across Wadsworth Boulevard at the Burlington Northern/Santa Fe railroad track. Funding for selected projects would be staged over the six year time period of the 2016 - 2021.
Contract approved for grading project After a 6-1 vote, council authorized the city manager to award the bid and execute a contract with the lowest and most quali-
fied bidder, Concrete Express, Inc., in the amount of $2,444,475 for the construction of the Downtown Westminster Grading Project; and authorized a construction contingency of $367,000. Staff believes that it is in the city’s best interests to remove any remaining asphalt, curb, gutter and minor structures as well as perform the grading of the site in preparation for the eventual redevelopment of the property. Exceptions to the proposed scope of work include the JC Penney lease area, the Record continues on Page 7

Brunswick Bowling Alley, Dr. McMurtrey’s dental office, the Olive Garden lease area and the U.S. Bank lease area.
Funding for the North Metro Task Force approved
After a 6-1 vote, council approved the Police Department’s cumulative expenditures in 2014 to the North Metro Task Force in an amount not to exceed $81,081. A current Intergovernmental Agreement establishes the NMTF as a separate legal entity operating as a drug task force with the following participating agencies: Adams County, City and County of Broomfield, Brighton, Commerce City, Federal Heights, Northglenn, Thornton
and Westminster. The NMTF operating budget relies on the annual contribution from its participating agencies as well as grants and other external revenue sources. As a participating agency, the Police Department is obligated to provide a cash-in-kind payment to the NMTF, who operate on a Federal fiscal year, Oct. 1 through Sept. 30.
Contract approve for construction of water mains
Council unanimously approved a contract with the low bidder, T. Lowell Construction, Inc. in the amount of $858,000 for construction of new water mains at Vance Street and 90th Avenue, plus a 15 percent contingency of $128,700, for a total authorized expenditure of $986,700.
Council also approved the execution to an amendment to the design contract with Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. to include engineering services during construction in the amount of $125,278, plus a contingency of $12,528, for a total of $137,806, increasing the total authorized expenditure with this firm from the previously approved amount of $76,949 to $214,755. Council also approved the allocation of $93,995 from the Lowell Boulevard Water Main Capital Improvement account into the Brookhill/Vance Water Main Replacements Project to provide funds necessary to complete the project. This project consists of replacing 1,550 feet of 8-inch water main in the area of Vance Street and 90th Avenue
Appointment approved for Personnel Board Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 19 officially appointing John Stutts to fill the vacancy created by Lillian Cox’s resignation on the Personnel Board. In May Cox resigned from the Personnel Board because she wanted to be an eligible substitute employee in the city’s Clerical Pool, creating a conflict of interest in her capacity as a member of the Personnel Board.

GERARD HEALEY President MIKKEL KELLY Publisher and Editor GLENN WALLACE Assistant Editor ASHLEY REIMERS Community Editor VIC VELA State Desk and Legislative Editor
Humanity should be at heart of interests This column is not the one I set out to write originally. Events “on the ground” caused this to morph. It started out as something along the lines of “Thank God for football so we can stop pretending to care about minor league baseball in Denver.” But then, the biggest story in football became the release of the videotape showing the Baltimore Ravens’ Ray Rice knocking his then-fiancee out cold with a single punch in an elevator. Then the story became his two-game suspension, which seemed ludicrously light; and then the story became the new six-game suspension; and then the story became the smell of a cover-up coming from the NFL headquarters. Never mind that another team had a convicted domestic abuser on the field in week one. Right — no videotape. And do you know which major, trusted, fact-checked and multiple-layers-of-editorial-controls media outlet did the hard work of, er, calling the hotel and asking for a copy of the Ray Rice video? No, not C.N.N. And certainly not CBS, NBC, or Fox, all of whom have contracts with the NFL No, it was the tiny little entertainment and gossip show TMZ. Of course, the police have now said that they provided the tape to the NFL, but, apparently, the right people didn’t see it. Either that, or it was strangely missing the relevant 18 minutes. This was all disappointing, especially considering how crazy interesting week 1
was on the field. But it crossed over into the realm of the surreal on Thursday night. That’s when the Baltimore Ravens hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers in a nationally televised game. Lots of drama going in, but then the NFL Network decided to put reporters outside the stadium to interview the people going into the stadium wearing their Ray Rice jerseys. No, seriously — people were still proudly wearing the official gear of a professional athlete just caught on video cold-cocking a girl and knocking her out. But, worse than that, they even interviewed some of the people. One woman, I swear, said “if a girl can slap a man, then the man has every right to hit her back.” I might be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure I saw a National Organization for Women button pinned to her Ray Rice jersey. Have we really come so far? Have we reached a point now where our interests supersede our humanity? I joked back in 2012 that if Barack
Obama were caught on video shooting a pregnant woman in the head, he would still get 40-percent of the vote. I think I might have underestimated — he probably would get 46-percent, and the electoral votes of California, New York, New Jersey and Illinois. We can see this play out in our own back yard. There are people who will not criticize the new Jeffco school board, no matter how ham-handed they act, because they believe this board serves their interests. And, conversely, if Ken Witt were caught on video giving a kidney to a young girl who he had just pulled out of a burning building, you can bet the teachers’ union would be out the next day, still campaigning against him. I would like to think that we’re not so narrow, that life is not such a self-interested affair, that a person’s celebrity Starfactor counts for more than the content of their character. But I’ve been wrong before. And, since that same woman still married Ray Rice, and then came out this week complaining that the media had ruined their life, there seems to be ample evidence that I may be wrong again. Michael Alcorn is a music teacher and fitness instructor who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. He graduated from Alameda High School and the University of Colorado-Boulder.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Has the NFL image been tarnished by recent incidents? Given the recent incidents of domestic violence and child abuse involving NFL stars, is the league at risk of having its image tarnished? We asked folks around Denver for their thoughts.
“I think the NFL holds on to information and the cover-up tarnishes the image more than the actions themselves.” Sheryl Carpenter, Denver
“Yes I do. I think they should get rid of them.” Dan Garcia, Denver
“I think so. It goes to show that, in the NFL, all they care about is ability, not integrity.” Donovan Breazeale, Denver
“I’m interested in seeing what the league does, but I don’t want to pass judgement until everything plays out.” Q Crutchfield, Denver

Lets hear it for the democratic process The democratic process is alive at least in some communities. I was delighted to read that the voters in Castle Rock forced a vote on the City Councilled policy which allowed a more relaxed regulation on open-carry of firearms in public places. While I was disappointed to see that the relaxed policy was upheld on a 50.8-percent in favor versus 49.2-percent against vote, the important point is that the public had the final say. The second ballot issue addressed who would decide future city policies on gun control in Castle Rock. By an overwhelming 78 percent (6,610 votes), voters said they want to make those decisions and not the city manager or the city council. I contend that when a community has a tough decision which has the community divided, it should be decided by a public vote and not by the city council. Certainly the narrow margin on the open-carry issue demonstrated that the community was much divided and citizens had to force a vote on the issue.
No public vote
Meanwhile in Westminster, four of the seven member City Council have taken it upon themselves to decide the issue of collective bargaining with the firefight-
ers. They did not ask the public what they thought or allowed us voters to decide an important policy decision for the future of our community. In fact, the public knows very little about what is going on about this effort or the reasons behind it. The city administration has not put anything out about it including their electronic The Weekly. It is not on the city’s website anywhere. The firefighters have not publicly stated their position. I asked Mayor Pro Tem Faith Winter if she would support a professional opinion poll being conducted on this issue and she told me that she wasn’t sure. Such a poll would give the City Council insight on the public’s stance on a contentious issue that will split this community.
“Safety issues” questions asked
One of the two main arguments I
have read and heard stated from the four union-supporting Councillors relates to safety issues in the Fire Department. So, I sent them and the City Manager five questions about safety related injuries. The questions included how many “safety related” accidents had occurred that provoked their concern. I asked how many safety issues had been brought to the City Council’s attention. Also, how many firefighter grievances had been submitted to the City’s Personnel Board? Finally, I asked how many incidents had been submitted to the City’s Safety Committee. All of these questions were asked to determine the depth and breadth of knowledge which the four councillors had in reaching such an important decision to pursue collective bargaining.
Determining councillors’ knowledge
Sadly, the responses I received either dodged the questions by referring the questions to the city manager or suggested that I contact the firefighters. One said that it was inappropriate for him to response since the City Council had directed staff to begin negotiations. Give me a break! These responses were far from compelling in demonstrating an understanding of “safety issues” in the Fire Depart-
ment. Their responses beg the question — what is the real reason(s) the “liberal trio” plus Seitz are so headstrong in pushing this issue? I will address the second reason — risk of being stuck with damaging mandated language from SB 25 if the Council put the proposal to a public vote — in a future column. I believe the Westminster public needs to be aware of what is going on since there is no other means for citizens to get the information.
Winter’s position
Finally, I was accused of being unfair in previously describing Faith Winter’s role in the collective bargaining situation. So, I met with Ms. Winter to give her an opportunity to explain her intent and role in this whole thing and whether it was politically motivated in conjunction with her campaign for the House District 35 seat. She told me that she did not have anything to do with the issue coming up when it did and she was not attempting to use the issue to her advantage in her race for House District 35. So, I stand corrected. Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.
All about the election routine, candidates The frost is on the pumpkins and it’s time to think about elections. Soon you will receive a ballot in the mail. There will be candidate’s names and school districts 12 and 50 issues, also maybe some special district issues, depending on where your taxing districts are located. The election offices are running on overtime trying to get those ballots out by about Oct. 20 at the latest.
At the top Starting at the top we have a tight race between incumbent U.S. Sen. Mark Udall and challenger Cory Gardner. I don’t know Cory but I know Mark very well. I served in the Colorado House of Representatives for several years sitting next to Mark. He is a fine, decent, hard-working guy. I do wish he would support that Keystone pipeline.
Another horse race Now, if you want to influence the outcome between Gov. John Hicken-
looper for governor and Bob Beauprez, this one is a close call. I don’t know either of them very well. Incumbent Hick (as he is called) has made a few blunders and Beauprez lost a big election several years ago. He’s a big time bank owner and that may turn folks off.
No matter where you live in Adams County, this is a ballot issue of great importance. I’m referring to the issue that will give us a five county commissioner board instead of the now three-member
Passionate, persistent, intelligent and committed. These adjectives describe the way I remember two of my high school teachers. One taught sophomore English classes. All year she homed in on the “inevitability of change” in our lives. She was passionate and persistent that we must be ready to accept and to cope with the many changes we would face. The other passionate and persistent teacher taught American history to seniors. Her mission was to make sure we left her class with a commitment to “watch our government.” She was a true
patriot who forced us to consider and analyze all aspects of a democracy governed by the people. She emphasized that the right to vote was sacred. With that sacred vote came a tremendous responsibility to use it intelligently. We learned that “government” is “us,” not “they,” but “us.” So, what does that mean? It means that every vote we cast must be a considered one. It means that I, as a voter, will have listened, analyzed, and become confident that I know why I am casting my vote for a particular candidate or ballot issue. Letter continues on Page 11
minster. This is a good way to get better informed on issues that directly affect us.
Next week Next week we’ll discuss those two school district (12 and 50) mill levy and bond issues. These are very important and will cost you some money for a mill levy increase. Get up to speed on that issue. Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned. Vi June is past Democratic state representative for House District 35.

board. I campaigned hard for this one. A county with over 400,000 residents definitely should have a larger board. A three member board puts too much power in the hands of only three people. Although there are five names on the ballot, the choice will probably be split between Joe Domenico, Republican, and Steve O’Dorisio, Democrat. There are many political campaigns but so far few candidate forums.

Celebrating culture, life of radio producer American Indian Festival offers free entertainment for two days
‘Pippin’ pops in Denver production
By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com When radio show producer Susie Aikman died in June, the modest twoday festival she was helping to plan to honor American Indians blossomed into a large-scale event. Organizers of the festival had first thought maybe 200-300 would attend to see a handful of performers throughout the weekend. They now estimate a thousand people may attend the festival to enjoy close to a dozen performers, 22 vendors, silent auctions, children’s activities and dinner and a movie. The American Indian Festival runs Saturday, Sept. 27, and Sunday, Sept. 28, at the Good Shepherd United Methodist Church, 3960 E. 128th Ave., Thornton. “We started out with a little festival but, with her unfortunate death, people came out of the woodwork,” said Lynne Holman, a Cherokee Indian and festival organizer. “She was very involved with her Cherokee heritage and was loved by many.” Aikman, who lived in Denver, produced the show Alternative Voices, an American Indian radio program that aired every Sunday morning for 28 years. The festival will be in her memory. “As a church, we are interested in the diversity in our communities, and the festival is planned to honor that diversity,” said Karen Bueno, a member of the United Methodist Conference Committee on Native American Ministries, where the idea for the festival originated. The festival’s theme is Bridges to Respect, because organizers wanted to promote respect and acceptance of different cultures, Holman said. “We wanted to bring to the community the idea that there are thousands of Native Americans living in the Denver area, but nobody knows who we are because we are low key,” said the Thornton resident. The two headlining acts are flutist Eric Many Winds Herrera and singerstoryteller Rose Red Elk, whose stage name is Red Feather Woman. “Most of my audience members are not Indians,” said Elk, who lives in Wheat Ridge. “I hope I educate them on my culture with some of the traditional stories. But mostly, it’s important that we connect.” As part of her performance, Elk does a social round dance with the audi-

Attendees are encouraged to bring nonperishable food items, winter clothes, boots, coats, diapers, bedding and school supplies to benefit the Caring Association of Native Americans.
Festival brings community back to former mall site By Ashley Reimers
areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Hoping to generate some excitement surrounding the Westminster downtown area, the city is partnering with LocalRadius to present the Westminster NEXT Food and Music Festival. The Sept. 26 event will be happening on the grounds of the former mall, a place that was once bustling with activity, but is now undergoing a major transformation that will again be a destination for fun,
food, entertainment and commerce. “This festival is part of an effort to show people that the area is coming back,” said Westminster Councilor Alberto Garcia. “We are really close to getting development at the former mall site and we’re excited to share that with the community.” The Friday festival, from 3-9 p.m. near 88th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard, will feature a variety of entertainment and activities for all ages. Over 30 vendors will be on-site selling local foods, crafts and art. Festival organizer Adam Muel-
ler said the emphasis will be on local food and goods to celebrate what Westminster has to offer. For the youngsters, the Kids Zone will offer free pedal car rides, magic shows, a balloon artist and bouncy houses. “People can also enjoy beers and wines from local craft makers,” Mueller said. “And because the festival is fenced, people will be able to stroll around the entire festival with their beverages checking out the vendors and entertainment.” Speaking of entertainment, four bands will take the stage offering a variety of music.
Starting off the bill is Emilio Emilio and the Tennyson Tap All-Stars, followed by The Margarita Brothers and then Calder’s Revolvers. Ending the evening is The Back in the Day Band. Each band has about a 50 minute set. “All four bands are excellent,” Mueller said. “Any of the bands could have been the headliner. People will get to enjoy some really fantastic musicians.” Admission to the Westminster NEXT Food and Music Festival is free. For more information, visit www.westminsternext.com.
I was raised by a theater-addicted mother, who instilled in me a lifelong love of stage performances. And although I spent a large part of the ’70s seeing musical and non-musical Broadway blockbusters, somehow my repertoire didn’t include “Pippin,” the 1972 Bob Fosse-directed Tony Award winner, which made Ben Vereen famous. I filled that missing slot Sept. 10 during the Denver launch of the national tour of the 2013 revival version of “Pippin,” playing at the Buell Theatre through Sept. 20. My theater pal Bradley Joseph and I experienced a good old-fashioned spectacular romp into a classic musical event that’s been enhanced by the addition of a circus setting complete with trapeze artists, contortionists and aerial performers. Throw in performances by Lucie Arnaz (daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz), John Rubenstein (the original Pippin character on Broadway who now plays the king) and Matthew James Thomas, the 2013 Tony Awardwinning Pippin character, and you have an out-of-this-world experience. Arnaz, who plays Pippin’s grandmother, gets her sexy on by showing off her 6o-plus bod in a bustier while hanging from a trapeze. Who knew? “I didn’t know how I could do that until five weeks ago,” which is when she joined the cast, Arnaz told us during the boffo after-play reception under the big top in the Seawell Ballroom. For an evening of throwback theatrical fun, don’t miss “Pippin.” Tickets at denvercenter.org.
Fort Collins ranks for retirees
Kiplinger, the venerable magazine covering personal finance advice and business, has accrued a top 10 ranking of best college towns for retirement, and Fort Collins is included in that lofty list. When you retire to a college town, Kiplinger says that you can recreate “the horizon-broadening experience and sense of adventure” that you had when you first entered those hallowed halls of higher learning. “In these 10 towns, a university generates intellectual and cultural sizzle for local residents and opens the door for retirees to take free or low-cost classes. College sports unite the entire community (and sometimes impel retired alums to move back). On-campus attractions, such as concerts, lecture series and games, are open to all comers, not just undergraduates. “College life isn’t the only reason these towns are great places to retire. Most are in states that are tax-friendly to retirees. Most have home prices close to the national median (some far below), active restaurant scenes, and access to good health care.” Fort Collins was included because of the proximity to Colorado State University, population of 152,061 and median home price of $280,000.

It means that all three levels of government — local, state, and national — deserve my careful attention. If a candidate is seeking re-election, I will have researched how he/she has voted on issues and if they match the way I would have voted. Has the first-time candidate stated clearly and specifically his/her positions on issues? It means that I will have listened to both sides of an issue and that I will have participated in civil discussions without demonizing others. Rapid change has become a way of life. But the obligation to cast a reasoned vote has not changed. Patricia Mesec, President League of Women Voters of Jefferson County
Live music is just one of the many activities at this year’s Orchard Festival in Westminster. The Sept. 27 event will also feature a beer garden, children’s activities, food and over 50 vendors. Courtesy photo
Orchard Festival expands beer garden, offers family fun By Ashley Reimers
areimers@colorado communitymedia.com As the number of Orchard Festival attendees continues to grow, so does the number of event activities. This year’s festival, presented by the South Westminster Arts Group, SWAG, on Sept. 27 in Westminster Historic Art District will have an extended beer garden featuring craft brews from local breweries Kokopelli Beer Company and Westminster Brewing Company. Debbie Teter, SWAG, co-chair, said people will now be able to walk around the vendor booths while enjoying a beer. “We’re also extending the time bands get to perform throughout the day,” she said. “So instead of having six bands, we’re having four bands, one being Denver band Moses Jones.” The festival will take place along
73rd Avenue between Bradburn and Lowell boulevards. Part of the event space is the newly renovated Rodeo Market Park. The area includes a large lawn area, a small natural children’s play area and pedestrian enhancements. The expansion also includes three additional art pedestals in the park’s sculpture garden. Each year SWAG hosts the Sculpture on 73rd Avenue, an annual rotating public art-onloan program. Now instead of seven sculptures on display, there can be 10. “It’s really exciting that the community can see the grounds completely renovated,” Teter said. “It’s a beautiful area.” During the Orchard Festival, the public will have the opportunity to vote on the submitted sculptures for the Sculpture on 73rd program. The results from the public’s selections will be installed by the end of October in the sculpture garden.
“The artists selected receive $500 for the loan of their art for the year,” Teter said. “Each piece is also for sale. We’ve already sold some sculptures from the garden. It’s also becoming a showcase to exhibit public art.” The Orchard Festival is also a family friendly event with a variety of children’s activities and a good mix of food from food trucks. Over 50 vendor booths will line 73rd Avenue and flashes of entertainment will keep the day exciting. “The Historic Westminster Orchard Festival is unique because no matter how big we get we keep the small town feel,” Teter said. “It’s very family oriented, not overcrowded and takes place in a very special place. Plus you don’t have to pay for parking.” The Orchard Festival is 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sept. 27 in the Historic Art District of Westminster.

Volunteer event benefits charity By Ashley Reimers
areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Instead of using a vacation day to explore the mountains or just relax, a group of Ball Corporation employees chose to spend their time off work volunteering at A Precious Child during Foothills United Way’s Day of Caring. The volunteer event on Sept. 12 was a day dedicated to learning about the Broomfield nonprofit and helping out in a big way. Volunteers from Ball Corporation, which has a West-
minster facility, built furniture and painted a mural for the new Teen Zone and organized the many donations that are later given to families in need. The Teen Zone is an extension of the organization’s learning center, which provides children a safe place to play and learn while their parents shop in the Resource Center. Through the Precious Essentials program, qualified families can shop for clothing and other basic essentials in a dignified way in the Resource Center, which is set up like a retail store.

recently, and asked him about the closing of Bonanno Brothers Pizza at the Vistas at Park Meadows, the only suburban attempt the successful restaurant owner has tried. “Never again,” he told me. It was the first time he had partnered with an investor on an eatery, and when the investor wasn’t realizing the return on investment he expected, he opted to shutter the place. There are no hard feelings, Bonanno said, who added that Park Meadows mall execs could not have been more accommodating in his quest to vacate the lease and the premises. So Bonanno got burned in the ‘burbs, but don’t expect that hiccup to stop him from expanding with
Since the opening of the learning center last year, A Precious Child executive director Britt Robinson said it’s been rewarding watching children leave the center with a smile on their faces excited to come back. “The learning center is really providing activities that some kids would not have access to otherwise, like computers or learning software,” she said. “The Teen Zone is now a place for older children to go with age-appropriate materials.” This is the third year the business has participated
more concepts in Denver. Stay tuned.

The UR Experience will kick off in Montreal,
in Day of Caring at A Precious Child. Scott Morrison, Ball Corporation chief financial officer, is proud of the number of employees who came out to spend their personal time to volunteer. “A Day of Caring is a great opportunity for us to give back to the community especially to an organization that is just down the road from us,” he said. “It’s not just about making money, it’s about giving back and that’s what we’re about.”

“THE NEW WESTMINSTER CITY CENTER” Are We Doing The Right Thing? Do You Have Questions…I Do!
$ Instead of development paying its own way, why are we using your tax money to incentive the chosen few that are awarded the project? $ The City is envisioning eight square blocks of uniform four-story, government guided, pedestrian-friendly, walkable, over hyped New Urbanism. If the market demands such neighborhoods then why would we subsidize them? $ What is the point of building 500,000 additional square feet of retail space if 300,000 ends up vacant? $ Council has not seen any budget, not even a preliminary budget, for this project even though they are spending multiple millions of dollars. We don’t even have a ball park guess as the cost of this project. WHY? $ Is it right for the City to issue 40 million dollars, or more, of financial obligations, debt, without a vote of the people? $ Why are we handcuffing ourselves into this plan? We just spent nearly 3 million to grade to the plan and soon to spend millions more on roads that will put the site into a development straightjacket where no other idea will work. $ How long will it take to develop the remaining one-half of the site? 5 years? 10 years? 20 Years?

It’s always nice to have positive things happen on a birthday, making it more memorable. LITTLETON 1 2 — 3 It certainly will be a memorable night for Littleton junior THORNTON 0 0 — 0 midfielder, Joe Director, as he FIRST HALF: L - Joe Director. Second scored the first goal for the Li- half: L – Sam Korff; Nolte Mehnert. ons in their 3-0 soccer victory against home standing Thornton last Thursday. And, it came on his birthday. One could also say that his teammates presented him with a fine birthday present on a damp night. The game was played under a continuous, though not a driving, rainfall. Littleton improved to 5-1 with the win against Thornton as the Lions of coach Pedja Vajzovic came through with their third consecutive shutout. They had previously defeated Prairie View, 9-0, and Hinkley, 4-0. Thornton dropped to 1-3-1 with the loss to the Lions. “We just wanted to go out hard,” Director said as he wiped the rain from his head with a towel in the after-game interview. “It was just a great team effort by all of us and we just feel good. We just want to keep up the good work and I do believe we can. ” Sam Korff and Nolte Mehnert scored the second pair of goals in the second half for Littleton. Korff tallied with 37 minutes, 40-seconds left while Mehnert closed out the scoring in the game with 34:03 remaining. “Everyone just played hard tonight,” said Korff, also a junior midfielder. “It was a great win despite this weather. It was important to go out and give our all. We were able to drive on their half the field for much of the night and only allow them a few shots.” And, it was a fine night for Mehnert, a senior midfielder. “Things are looking good for us this year,” said Mehnert. “We came out with only a short warmup due to the weather. It was perhaps about five-minutes. It’s not the weather you want to play in, but we came through despite the rain. Now, the key is to keep it going.” That’s certainly how Vajzovic hopes the season will continue. “It was cold tonight, but I think both teams tried hard,” Vajzovic said. “We tried to press them on defense and we were certainly successful in that respect. I just wanted the boys to go out and play their hardest despite the weather. It was a wet night, that’s for sure. Now, we just want to keep the success going.” Littleton had opened the season with a 5-1 victory against Dakota Ridge then followed with a 2-1 win against Cherokee Trail. The Lions lone loss was 1-0 against Rampart. They host D’Evelyn, September 16. Thornton, coached by Grant Beavers, plays at Skyview, September 16.
Wolves cornered by Denver East By Scott Stocker Slow starts on the football field can lead to quick victories. And, a quick finish just adds another thrill to a win against a visiting foe. That was the case for Denver East, Sept. 13, as the Angels were able to fly over Westminster for a thrilling 31-21 win against the Wolves. They improved to 2-1 overall while Westminster dropped to 1-2. It also was the pair’s 5A, Flatirons League opener. Flying high for East, coached by Spencer Colter, was wide receiver/defensive back, Wesley Ogsbury. He came through with three touchdown pass receptions, two from Deron Harrell and a third from Michael Kouba. Yet the critical catch and touchdown was Ogsbury’s 99-yard intercepted pass for the score with only 37 seconds left in the game on the All City Field. Had Westminster scored, they would have had a possible winning touchdown, allowing the Angels less than a minute to come back. “I just wanted to help provide a lot of energy out there,” said Ogsbury, who finished with five receptions for 158 yards. “Our defense was awesome when it counted the most and there was a lot of teamwork out there for us today. Our coach is awesome and he had us ready to play. We were able to strike quick when we had the opportunities.” Westminster, coached by Kerry Denison, first jumped out in front taking advantage of an intercepted pass by Brian Hogan. The theft was returned 38 yards for a touchdown with 40 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Brandon Enriquez kicked the extra point. However, Westminster just wouldn’t be able to come through in the end.
“This was a heartbreaker,” Denison said. “We just had too many mental mistakes, but the kids played hard football. Giving up the long interception, of course, hurt. We had driven down to the three-yard line and couldn’t punch it in. We just make the mistakes and they took advantage.” East would close the first half gap to 7-3 as kicker, Jackson Daily, tacked on a 30-yard field goal with 6:15 left in the second quarter. The Angels would then take the lead with :12-seconds left in the half on Ogsbury’s first touchdown reception of the game, an 11-yarder from Harrell. “We did stumble in the first quarter,” Colter said. “We had a lot of difficult situations and substitutions. But in the second half we really played good defense and rose to the occasion. We had very good line play. The boys are ready to play their hearts out this season.” East stretched its lead to 17-7 with 10:36 left in the third quarter with Ogsbury catching a 45-yarder from Harrell. But Westminster closed the gap to 17-15 with 1:10 left in the quarter with Nic Etchells scoring on a 6-yard run and followed by his two-point conversion run. “Our mistakes hurt us tonight,” Etchells said. “We just have to practice hard and get over this loss. The mistakes at the end hurt the most, as you can see. We felt we could run against them, but in the long run, it just wasn’t to be.” It also was a solid night for East defensive back Jordan Willis. “We started slow in the first half, but we were able to get up when we really needed to,” Willis said. “We were able to overcome our mistakes. The key is that we all still have

to work on the little stuff and concentrate on not making the mistake, but moving ahead.” Westminster managed to take the lead with 7:35 left in the game as Aaron Bettis pulled in a 28-yard pass from Jake Walklett. The try for the extra points, a run by Etchells, failed, but left the Warriors leading 21-17. East answered quickly once again. With 7:03 remaining, Kouba hit Ogsbury for an 85-yard touchdown giving the Angels a 23-21 lead. Daily kick the extra point for the 24-21 advantage. It then came down to those final moments. Westminster took the ball following Ogsburys touchdown and managed to drive down to the East 2-yard line, also taking advantage of a pair of 15-yard penalties on the Angels. But the Warriors fumbled away their

tying opportunity when they botched their field goal attempt with 1:21 left. However, Westminster did have one more chance as the Warriors recovered an East fumble at the Angels 12-yard line with 1:03 left. Two plays later, though, Ogsbury pulled in the game-securing interception. No doubt, it was a heart breaking night for Westminster and fullback/linebacker Brandon Dickerson and his teammates. “They played hard against us and they doubled up on the holes,” said Dickerson, who had rushed for 109 yards. “They were a team tough for us to contain. We still have a team that can go a long ways this season. We just need to block better and look for the holes. Defensively, I think we can come through in the end.”

Standley Lake keeps Wheat Ridge winless Farmers went from youngest team to oldest team in offseason By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com WHEAT RIDGE - Standley Lake held on to win a dramatic match over Wheat Ridge 4-3 Tuesday at Everitt Middle School. The Gators kept the Farmers winless on the season while picking up their first victory of the season — but it didn’t come easily, as three different matches went three sets. The match came down to three different doubles battles the first being both teams No. 1 doubles teams. Standley Lake’s pair of senior Alex Hay and freshman Devun Kantola pounced on Wheat Ridge’s No. 1 doubles team of senior Efren Acevedo and junior Mark Dingle in the first set winning 6-2. However, Acevedo and Dingle responded by shutting Standley Lake out 6-0 in the second set. But that just set up a dramatic third set which the Gators dominated 6-1 to secure the match. The No. 4 doubles match was equally as thrilling as Standley Lake senior Sonareth Yann and freshman Bailey Iwata narrowly escaped Wheat Ridge in three sets. But the entire match came down to No. 3 doubles where the Gators’ pair of freshman Kevin Han and Kelvin Chen survived a three-set thrill-ride over junior Lorin Seyfer and senior Skip Khamvongsa 4-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-4. With the loss Wheat Ridge falls to 0-6 on the season — a far cry from their 6-5 record last season (5-3 in league play). The Farmers also are in a total rebuild this season, as eight of 11 varsity players last season were seniors. Wheat Ridge went from having the oldest roster in Jeffco to the youngest in one offseason. But the Farmers also have some good young talent evident by their three match wins over Standley Lake. Wheat Ridge No. 1 singles Caleb Christian defeated Standley Lake senior Nickolas Mouanuotoua 6-3, 7-6 (7-2). In addition, talented Farmers’ frosh Mathew Sewell beat Standley Lake senior Daniel Lee 6-3, 6-1. The victories for Christian and Sewell was their first of the season. Wheat Ridge will host Arvada Thursday at 3:30 p.m. at Everitt Middle School. Standley Lake (1-1) will play at Conifer High School Thursday at 3:30 p.m.

Former House rep eyes Senate seat Judy Solano cites public education, economy as focus By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com A passion for education got Judy Solano involved with politics when she ran first ran for House District 31 in 2005. It was that passion that prompted her to run for re-election three times until she was term-limited last year. It is that passion still that pushes her run for Senate District 24 as the Democratic candidate. “I’m such a strong supporter of public education and I think there’s still a lot to be done,” she said. “I think I’m a voice of reason and we need people who can work across the aisle and get things done.” Solano, the daughter of two teachers,
grew up to teach herself — fifth and sixth graders at Erie Elementary for 29 years — before getting involved with politics. “I think people that work in a field know what laws need to be changed or what laws need to be implemented,” she said. Her interest in public education spans from the beginning learning years to higher ed and the funding available for all in-between. “For families to get their child into a preschool is still difficult, it’s costly,” Solano said. Solano “On the other end of the public education spectrum is tuition at colleges is becoming unaffordable for many families.” She added she wanted to make sure that state funding for education goes toward student-centered learning and not for ex-
cessive testing or administrative costs. Another focus is making sure primary employees find a strong educated workforce in the state -by strengthening vocational programs. She also wants to create policies that build a strong economy that supports working families. “I think a lot of families and small businesses have not recovered from the recession yet,” Solano said. “Things have gotten better but it’s not at a level that’s fully supporting working families.” She added she thought Colorado was a leader in renewal energy and would like to see that aspect of the economy grow. One of the biggest challenges she said she would face if elected is funding. “We have a lot of constraint in our state constitution that prevents representatives and senators from adequately funding programs that need to be funded,” Solano said. During her eight years as a representa-
tive, Solano served on several committees including the House Education Committee, House Agriculture, Livestock, and Natural Resources Committee, House Appropriations Committee, Select Committee on Strategic Renewable Energy, Oversight Commission on the Continuing Examination of the Treatment of Persons with Mental Illness who are Involved in the Criminal and Juvenile Justice System and the Select Committee for Job Creation and Economic Development. Solano earned a bachelor’s degree in education from Kansas State Teachers College and a master’s degree from University of Colorado at Denver. She has been married to her husband, Manuel, for 40 years and they have two children, two stepsons, five grandchildren and one great-grandson. Manuel Solano is the Democratic candidate for the Adams County Board of Commissioners District 3 seat.
Thornton councilwoman vies for state seat Education, economy tops Humenik’s list of focus By Tammy Kranz tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com As one of the council members who helped the city of Thornton weather the recession, Beth Martinez Humenik said she wants to use her leadership skills as the next state senator for District 24. Humenik was elected to the Thornton City Council in 2007 and serves as its Ward 3 representative. “Working in municipal government has provided me with a wide range of knowledge and good policy decision making experience,” said the Republican candidate. If elected, one of Humenik’s goals will
be to focus on education and funding. “As an educator, I understand the need for funding in order to have better schools so that our kids have a worldclass, quality education,” she said “I’d like to see education funding go directly into school classroom which is where it should be and where it continues to be needed.” Humenik works as a substitute teacher in charter schools and has been an adjunct professor at Everest College, Colorado Humenik Technical University and Kaplan University. Another issue Humenik would like to work on is moving Colorado’s economy forward and allow businesses to create new jobs. “We have many people in Senate Dis-
trict 24 who are either underemployed or remain unemployed. Some families are living in their cars, which simply shouldn’t be happening,” she said. She added she would like to see the state and its tax structure become more business friendly to increase economic vitality. “Government does not create jobs, businesses do,” Humenik said. “Businesses want to grow and want to be able to afford to hire on more employees.” Along with being an educator, Humenik also has done work in the legal field, healthcare, corporate communications, management, retail and real estate. “I have worked in a variety of business areas which has provided a good balance of experience and knowledge about many different industries,” she said. “This has helped me gain understanding of small business needs as well

as the challenges facing all of Colorado’s businesses.” Humenik said one of the challenges she will face if elected is jumping in and swimming right away. “Reading through the large number of bills that get brought forward each session will be time consuming,” she said. “A lot of time will be spent going through the bills and making sure I understand all of the ramifications, whether or not there are any unintended consequences and to have clear vision of the big picture.” Humenik earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Colorado State University. Humenik has lived in Adams County for 27 years, 18 years on Thornton and nine years in Westminster. She has been married to Mike Humenik for 26 years and they have two dogs.
SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 15, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) It might not be wise to pursue goals involving others, unless you can stop impulsively rejecting new ideas. Either open your mind or wait until next week, when this “ornery” mood passes. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for the Bovine to be creative and practical for yourself and your surroundings. Shop wisely, not impulsively, and keep your Bull’s eye focused on quality, not quantity. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) You should feel more confident about moving ahead with plans that had to be delayed by an unexpected turn of events. Also, family matters might need more time than first anticipated.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Be considerate of others as you move into a new area in your professional life. Take time to meet people and discuss mutual goals. The more you get to know each other, the better. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Creating a fuss could get your ideas noticed quickly. But it would be best to present your case, and then wait for a reaction to follow in due course, rather than try to force it to happen. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Unkept promises might cause plans to go awry this week. You can either grumble about people “letting you down” or find a way to make the best of it and move on. The choice is yours. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Putting off making a commitment early in the week could be a good move. Best to act when you know you’re making an informed decision. Expect more facts to emerge by the week’s end. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A recent act of kindness on your part could take on special meaning this week. Also, look for signs of upcoming changes in both your personal and professional relationships. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Many of the tougher communication barriers between you and others in the workplace or at home could begin breaking down this week. Expect some surprises to emerge. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your “tough love” attitude toward someone you care for could be misunderstood. Try to be less judgmental and show more consideration in the way you relate to that person. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) An unexpected workplace challenge could be daunting. But take what you know (and you know more than you realize) and apply it to the problem, and you should see positive results. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Recent relationship changes for both single and paired Pisces continue to influence much of your week. Keep your focus on developing the positive aspects as you move along. BORN THIS WEEK: You set your goals with assurance and influence others to follow suit. You would be an excellent philosopher and teacher. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
