tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com The exchanges got heated between the candidates for District 3 on the Adams County Board of Commissioners.

Republican Erik Hansen and Democrat Manuel Solano faced off Sept. 30 during a County Candidate Meeting hosted by the League of Women Voters of Adams County at Skyview Campus in Thornton.

Solano claimed that Hansen, while serving as the mayor of Thornton, did not originally support FasTracks or the Funding Advancements for Surface Transportation and Economy Recover (FASTER) Act. “My opponent was against the RTD rail initially,” he said. “It was RTD people that brought (FasTracks) here. It wasn’t Erik Hansen.”

Hansen quickly responded, calling

those claims nonsense.

“There’s a reason why they call lawyers liars,” he said, adding he voted for both FASTER and FasTracks.

Hansen is serving his first term as commissioner, he was elected in 2010, after serving as a councilman and mayor for Thornton. Solano works as the regional director for a national civil rights firm and has his own law business.

Hansen noted the ethics reforms that he helped usher in when he was first elected to the board. Solano criticized Hansen for hiring a law firm in New York to handle ethics complaints.

“Because he didn’t trust anyone in the state to do it, and he didn’t trust anyone in the county to do it,” Solano said.

Hansen defended the hiring, saying a third-power watchdog was good to ensure the board and employees in the county were behaving ethically.

“It was a darn good thing that we did,” he said.

Solano said he wanted to be elected Debate continues on Page 6

D50 voters faced with two ballot measures

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com After a defeated mill levy override last fall, Adams County School District 50 was forced to cut 60 positions.

Now the district is hoping to earn the trust and support from the community to pass a different mill levy override, along with a bond question, to keep staff, teachers and programs intact.

“What cutting those positions ultimately did was cause our staffing ratio for our class size to increase, which was a hard thing for us to do,” said Superintendent Pam Swanson. “We’re hoping to avoid future cuts. That is our goal — not to have to cut, cut, cut.”

Last year the district asked for a $5.25 million mill levy override, which was shot down by 60 percent of the voters. This year the district cut down the number by half, and is asking for a $2.5 million mill levy override, measure 3C. If passed, 3C would cost voters $3 per month for every $100,000 of home value. The money would be used in expanding and upgrading vocational training, expanding STEM education, keeping qualified teachers and staff, funding arts, music and theater and providing enough money to minimize future cuts which could result in increased class size and fees and cuts in staffing and programming.

“Our goal with the mill levy is to keep good staff in place so that we can continue to move forward because we are making quite a bit of progress academically, and we don’t want to lost traction,” Swanson said. “We have to rely on our own local backyard and make sure the kids who live in our community are getting the education they need and that we’re continuing to provide great schools and education.”

The $20 million bond question, measure 3D, comes after the district spent the remaining dollars of a 2006 bond. The money was used to install heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems at Sherrelwood, Metz, Fairview, Mesa, and Sunset Ridge elementary schools. The total cost was $5.85 million. Last year Tennyson Knolls Elementary School received a new HVAC system funded by the same bond.

Stefanie Green’s children were just two of the lucky students who benefited from the new air conditioning system at Mesa Elementary School. With temperatures still in the ‘90s during the first few weeks of school, Green says her students’ learning experience was a bit different this year.

“The air conditioning made a huge difference for my kids. They’re not lethargic anymore due to the heat,” she said.

But just down the road from Mesa, students at Flynn Elementary School still have to battle the heat. Flynn is one of five remaining elementary schools in the district without air conditioning. If 3D passes, air would be installed in those schools.

“Knowing there’s a school just down the road from Mesa that doesn’t have air, you almost feel guilty for those poor kids,” Green said. “That’s just one reason why the bond really needs to pass.”

Passage of 3D would also provide safety and security improvements including security cameras, more secure entry ways and fire alarm upgrades. Bond dollars would also be spent on renovating existing schools for more technical career training, repairing and replacing roofs and other maintenance in schools. Cost to voters is $2 per month on a house valued at $100,000.

“Besides wanting a quality education, parents and educators want to make sure our kids are safe at school,” Swanson said. “Safety in that learning environment means not only controlled access but it also means having a good facility to learn in.”

Green and other community members and parents are informing D50 residents on 3C and 3D by going doorto-door hoping to convince voters to pass the measures.

“We’re just trying to tell people that they have the power to enlighten an entire life by giving them the gift of education,” Green said. “These schools are part of the community and these kids are the future.”

October 9, 2014

Man hits road of life with hands off wheel The call for prayer from the nearby mosque woke him from a restless sleep about 4 that morning.

He showered, dressed and checked his backpack. Water containers. Iodine tablets. Medical kit. Several notebooks and 24 pencils. Some Clif bars. One change of clothes. A credit card to be used only for emergencies. A palm-sized GPS tracker.

Tent. Sleeping bag. Compass.

No cell phone.

He repacked, shut off the lights and knelt on the concrete floor. Let me be present, he prayed. Let me handle challenges with grace and humility.

Then, Donovan DiLorenzo — an olive scarf wound around his head, a shadow of a beard on his face, Teva sandals on his feet — stepped from the hotel in Madaba, Jordan, his heart a mix of trepidation and hope, and began walking.

“The first time you step out — that’s the scariest,” he said. “You’ve built up all these expectations … and you’re just not sure how they’re going to unfold.”

Donovan’s Journey, as his family calls it, began Aug. 27, 2013.

It unfolded step by step, without any sure plan. Donovan, then 42, trekked as pilgrims in days of old through Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Egypt and India, letting the day’s encounters chart his path and depending on unexpected kindnesses for food, shelter and companionship. By the time he returned home in May, he had walked more than 1,100 miles.

Back home in Highlands Ranch where he grew up, his parents had anxiously followed his path through intermittent signals from a GPS tracker. They thought he was searching for self-discovery.

His younger sister later told him she thought his choice to travel without resources or a way to communicate with home was selfish because of the worry it caused those who loved him.

Donovan thought doing so was the only real way to live fully in the moment — to see and feel and understand a profoundness of life uncluttered by distractions. He wasn’t really searching for something; he just wanted to see what would happen if life directed him rather than the other way around.

“It was a kind of shedding or surrendering …,” Donovan said. “It was just about letting go and seeing how life would unfold being a little more present.”

His life had already detoured from the main road.

The tragedy of 9/11 caused him to rethink his course: He left a lucrative job as an account executive in New York to teach in New Orleans’ most challenging urban school district. He later helped with reconstruction and outreach following Hurricane Katrina’s devastation. From there, he joined the Peace Corps, working in Africa in Malawi, one of the world’s least-developed countries. He returned to New Orleans and taught there until last summer, when he decided to abandon life as he knew it.

He chose to walk most of his journey to have “more time to think, write and connect with others.”

When Donovan refused to take a cell phone, his parents, Neil and Michelle, persuaded him to pack a small GPS tracker.

“You’re not really communicating,” Neil told him. “At least, as long as the coordinates are moving, we’ll know you’re alive.”

Donovan agreed. Every three days, he activated the device and Neil plotted latitude and longitude on maps to follow his route. Even so, Neil and Michelle slept only a few hours each night those first few weeks.

“I am very nervous …,” Michelle said then. “That has been really, really hard, not knowing where he’s at.”

Donovan, at times, wasn’t sure exactly where he was, either. The trails seemed confusing, the heat unbearable. In those moments, anxiety would begin to seep into his thoughts — “that feeling,” he wrote later, “when you are unsure about the road ahead.” But then he would gather

courage, bring himself back into the moment, summon a sense of peace.

At the start, his feet bled. The backpack rubbed raw a spot on his back. Hunger became a frequent companion — he thought often of his mother’s pasta and meatballs.

But fortune continually crossed his path in the form of curious children, interested villagers or, simply, a patch of shade under a tree.

Strangers gave him freshly baked warm pita bread. They invited him to share tea around campfires and offered space in their homes to sleep. They shared stories that bound them across cultures and beliefs.

“I was really taken aback at how hospitable people were and how people would open up their homes,” Donovan said.

“There were those moments when you kind of step back and think, `Wow, that was truly amazing.’”

In those instants, he said, God gave him wonder.

He prayed in mosques, saw the Dead Sea, visited Cana and other places of the Holy Land, navigated military checkpoints between Palestine and Israel. He walked about 650 miles, according to Neil’s map calculations, before flying from the Red Sea to Cairo at the end of October.

After two weeks in Egypt, he flew to Mumbai and walked another 500 or so miles, visiting ashrams where he learned to meditate, and Buddhist temples where he prayed, and, finally, homes in Calcutta run by Mother Teresa’s Sisters of Charity, where he volunteered for two months.

He massaged lotion into the withered arms of old men, bathed sick patients, prayed over the dead then carried them to crematoriums.

“In Calcutta, there are moments when you have incredible suffering,” Donovan said, “but somehow people find a way to be joyous.”

There was the blind man who always sang. There were the children who laughed and played amid the squalor. And the special kinship shared with others who helped. “… a lot of suffering,” Donovan repeated. “But a lot of people giving of themselves.”

From India, he traveled to Indonesia for a month.

And then, life told Donovan it was time to return home to the much-missed embrace of family and friends.

Near midnight on May 12, Neil and Michelle drove slowly into the arrival lane at DIA as a tall figure with a bushy beard and a backpack walked to the curb.

“He had a scarf on,” Michelle said. But “I would know him anywhere.”

At home, Donovan ate a big plate of pasta and meatballs, satiating the craving that hunger had instilled. He reveled in the warmth of family.

“He’s very strong,” Michelle said, “but I’m just glad he’s home.”

Neil agreed. “We don’t have to worry.”

They listened to their son’s stories, marveling at the generosity of strangers who gave to the man who is always giving to others.

Yet, Neil said, “his experience is probably hard to share because we can’t understand it — we didn’t live it.”

Donovan is in California now, helping develop programs for the mostly Hispanic and disadvantaged teens served by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sonoma.

Life kept telling him, he said, this was his next chapter.

He’s written 10 short stories about his pilgrimage and has ideas for about 10 more. He’s writing them, primarily, for family and friends so they can know how letting go propels life to unfold in wondrous, unexpected ways.

He would like to return to the Denver area someday.

But “you never know,” Donovan said.

“The main thing is I’m present and have the courage to follow where life is taking me. We’ll see.”

Perhaps, for Donovan, the journey hasn’t ended at all.

School board approves controversial review Amended proposal changes makeup of curriculum committee

By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Jefferson County Board of Education’s board majority — John Newkirk, Julie Williams and Ken Witt — voted to revamp the district’s current curriculum review practices Thursday, Oct. 2.

“I’m delighted we were able to come up with a compromise,” Board President Ken Witt said. “The district brought forth the processes they had in place for district curriculum review, but was able to also bring in the feedback we’ve heard from the community.”

Williams had proposed a new curriculum review committee resolution on Sept. 18 to review the AP U.S. History (APUSH) course to emphasize positive aspects of American history and “should not encourage or condone”

civil disobedience, social strife or disregard of the law.

Instead, the board voted to amend existing district policies, IJ and IJ-R, which reference the processes and structure for district’s current content and resource review committees.

The changes add students, parents and community members to the two review committees, and names the Chief Academic Officer as committee facilitator.

The two committees, which already include teachers and content specialists, will now report directly to the school board. The committee meetings are required to be open to the public.

Seen as a “compromise” between the board and the district, the changes were made to address student, board and community concerns, and moved away from Williams original language about not presenting “objectionable” material.

“I think it’s a great compromise,” Williams said. “My goal of having citizen input and taxpayer input into what they’re actually paying for — our children’s education — it’s great; it

Gay marriage begins in Colorado

couples who request them. In addition, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is required to register

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear all appeals on gay marriage bans from seven states on Monday, paving the way for couples in some states to legally wed – including Colorado.

Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision, Attorney General John Suthers announced the state’s gay marriage ban to be unconstitutional, and filed motions which will lift stays in the federal and state courts.

On Tuesday morning Suthers announced the stays had been lifted, and posted the following statement on his website:

such marriages in the records of the State of Colorado.”

Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder Pam Anderson announced her office would immediately comply.

“I believe strongly in individual rights, I personally support marriage equality and I am proud to be part of this historic day as the Clerk and Recorder for Jefferson County,” Anderson said in a statement.

A marriage license can be obtained in Jefferson County at the county admin-

Immediately before the Oct. 2 school board meeting, students, parents and teachers gathered for a rally outside the district office, protesting recent board majority decisions, including the proposed curriculum review committee. Photo by Glenn Wallace was a great compromise. All of my goals were achieved.”

It’s unclear if the reconfigured committees will review the AP U.S. History curriculum.

“I think there’s potential either way (with the committees). The problem with this board though is it lost a lot of respect in the community that they can actually act in an open and transparent manner,” said Michael Clark, a community member who voted for the majority last November. “People would rather trust Mr. (Dan) McMinimee and even the district staff because of how much respect they lost in the board.”

The lack of compromise and collaboration among the board was mentioned by both minority members, Jill Fellman and Lesley Dahlkemper, who saw McMinimee’s proposal as a stepping stone to collaboration, but ultimately voted against it, noting it was received on Thursday morning, less than 12 hours prior to the meeting.

“Once again, we’re breaking board policy,” Dahlkemper said. “It’s simple, this is yet another example of when an issue has come to the board — what’s the rush?”

Since Sept. 18, the district has seen the absence of more than 128 teachers resulting in the closure of four district high schools, and a six-day streak of Jeffco students protests — the largest and longest protest in Jeffco history, according to district staff.

“I appreciate the fact that they were able to

discuss and collaborate somewhat but overall I’m still very disappointed,” said Thomas Sizemore, a Lakewood High School junior who spoke during the meeting. “They used the advantage of a 3-2 vote to, once again, pass something I don’t believe should have passed.”

Prior to the decision, the board heard nearly three hours of public comment, where 30 individuals spoke in favor, and more than 80 spoke against the committee.

Following the decision, several community members showed their discontent by asking for the board majority’s resignation.

“I’m very disappointed and kind of insulted,” said Ashlyn Maher, a senior at Chatfield Senior High School and student leader. ”Even though they stated that they heard us they didn’t listen to us.”

McMinimee later sent out a statement saying more details on the revisions will be presented at the Oct. 16 board of education meeting.

While many opposed the decision, several student leaders appreciated the compromise, but were disappointed in the vote and wished Williams would have withdrawn her original proposal.

“We think it’s definitely a possibility for everyone to collaborate on this decision,” Sizemore said. “We just really want something that works well for everyone involved, and that’s very hard to get thought out and received well.”

Teen turns loss into positive outreach

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com After losing his mom in 2009, Alex Sparks began his quest of promoting the importance of tissue and organ donation.

The Federal Heights teen saw firsthand how tissue and organ donation can have a positive effect on someone’s life.

“My mom Kelly was a donor and after she died, her body tissue was donated,” Alex, 14, said. “Now there are people as close at Boulder and as far away as Pennsylvania, and even some stops along the way that have benefited from my mom.”

Alex and his grandfather Dale Sparks, Kelly’s father, are both involved in promoting awareness of tissue and organ donation with Donate Life Colorado, an online donor registry. Dale was not only touched by the effects of donation after the death of his daughter, but also through the life of his wife.

In 2007, Dale’s wife was dealing with major kidney issues that required a kidney transplant. She was put on dialysis for five months in 2008 before receiving a kidney. Sparks said since then, his wife hasn’t had any issues with her new organ.

Now Alex and Dale attend events sharing their stories about how tissue and organ donation has changed their lives.

“One time I was at an event and I told a woman about my daughter and she just

started crying,” Dale said. “And she ended up telling me that because of people like Kelly, she’s now able to see. It’s amazing what donation can do. People just have to know that it works.”

During a recent Colorado Rapids game, Alex was part of the High Five Squad, a group of children who are either transplant recipients or who have family members who were donors. The squad was introduced to the stadium of over 18,000 soccer fans in an effort to drive awareness of tissue and organ donation.

Alex also competed in the Donate Life’s Donor Dash this past summer. It’s the second time he’s ran the 5K race and intends to participate for many years to come.

“The Donor Dash is awesome,” Alex said.

“It’s a lot of fun and so many people get to learn about why being donor is so important, even if at first they are against it.”

For Dale, being involved in Donate Life is more than just the opportunity to spread awareness, it’s his form or therapy.

“Occasionally I’ll still get teary-eyed when I talk about Kelly even though it’s been five years since she passed away,” he said. “But being part of Donate Life helps me get through not having Kelly here. It’s my therapy.”

tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com The spotlight at a recent candidate forum shone on who was best qualified to manage the annual $58 million budget at the Adams County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff candidates Republican Mike McIntosh and Democrat Rick Reigenborn faced off Sept. 30 during a County Candidate Meeting hosted by the League of Women Voters of Adams County at Skyview Campus in Thornton.

After a few minutes introducing themselves, the audience began asking questions.

One dealt with the experience each man had handling a budget.

Reigenborn said he man-

“We always came in under budget,” he said. He added, “Being a single dad on a paycheck once a month I know

about running a budget.”

As division chief at the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, McIntosh said he has over-

seen the budget for the past five years. The economical downturn forced him make difficult decisions about what to cut, he added.

“It’s real easy to spend within a budget when money is coming in,” he said, but it’s harder to do that during a financial crunch.

Reigenborn questioned how hard managing the budget could be when, he said, 70 percent of the budget is employee wages and most of the remainder goes to running the jail.

“It doesn’t take a whole lot of mathematics to figure that out,” he said.

Reigenborn has been in law enforcement for 23 years, and during his time with Adams County has served as field patrolman, instructor, SWAT team member, under-

cover narcotics detective and detective sergeant. He is now a sergeant in the patrol division.

Reigenborn’s campaign slogan focuses on getting back to the basics of law enforcement.

“Let’s get back to being cops, not politicians,” he said.

McIntosh has been with the Adams County Sheriff’s Office for more than 26 years and has served as a leader in every division.

“I think it’s important a CEO of this organization has that level of experience,” said McIntosh, whose campaign slogan is experience matters.

Both candidates said they would like to end the municipal inmate cap at the jail and bring back unity at the Sheriff’s Office.

Senate District 19 candidate seeks to change balance

By Crystal Anderson

c a n d e r s o n @ c o l o ra d o communitymedia.com For Laura Woods, Republican candidate for Senate District 19, her beliefs are what set her on the “opposite ends of the spectrum,” from her political opponent.

“There’s quite a bit of difference,” she said, referencing herself as the citizen’s candidate, an advocate for pro-life, a voice for small business and proponent of smaller government.

“I’m running to restore balance in Colorado,” she said. “I want to put citizens

back in charge of our government.”

Woods, a Coloradonative, is a small business owner and mother of two sons. She grew up in Steamboat Springs, moving to Denver-metro area in college, where she became a registered court reporter. Following dissatisfaction with the imbalance of Woods power in the state house, she helped spearhead two recall efforts against dis-

trict 19’s former senator, Evie Hudak, the second of which, succeeded.

“I want to bring to a stop what I see and have heard from voters in the district as out-of-control government intrusion in our lives,” she said.

Woods is campaigning for reduced spending, protection personal and individual property rights, and promotion a more business friendly environment. She said she specifically wants to learn from the community, examine two of the state’s election laws and bring integrity back to the statehouse.

“I’m hearing they’re

(constituents) tired of the stalemate and tired of not being heard,” she said “And the way we solve that is we listen to the constituents.”

If elected, Woods said she is looking forward to learning the role of the senator and propelling change.

“I will be a voice for liberty, I will be a voice of common sense, and that I will listen to the citizens of Senate District 19 and work for them,” she said.

ADCO candidates face off Forum an opportunity to highlight experience, goals

By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Adams County assessor candidate John Schaul took exception to being called “handpicked” by his opponent Patsy Melonakis during a forum held last week.

Candidates for assessor, sheriff, treasurer, clerk and recorder, coroner, and board of county commissioners participated in a Candidates Meeting Sept. 30 hosted by the League of Women Voters of Adams County at Skyview Campus in Thornton.

The candidates had a couple minutes to tell the audience about themselves then they were asked questions by the audience. For the assessor candidates, one audience member questioned why Melonakis referred to Schaul as current Assessor Gil Reyes’ “handpicked deputy” in her campaign leaflets.

Melonakis answered because Reyes chose Schaul to be the deputy assessor.

Schaul called that label a stretch and said he was asked to be the deputy in 2010 because Reyes had health and family issues.

“I was not handpicked,” he said. “I was there prior than most of the staff.”

Melonakis brought up the scandals that plagued Reyes. The current assessor pleaded no contest to charges of official misconduct in 2013. He was accused of lowering appraised values of properties owned by his top campaign contributor. Reyes also pleaded guilty in 2011 for failure to report gifts.

“You have to have the moral fiber to stand up for your convictions and do the right thing,” she said.

She added if she was elected, her first goal would be to familiarize herself with everyone in the assessor’s office.

Schaul pointed out that his knowledge and experience — two and a half decades worth — were going to be needed during 2015 because reappraisals were due.

Melonakis is the Republican candidate and has been in property management and a real estate broker for 21 years. Schaul, the Democrat candidate, is a state licensed appraiser.

Incumbent Adams County Coroner Monica Broncucia-Jordan, Democrat, faced off with Republican candidate Mike Arnall.

Broncucia-Jordan highlighted her experience, mainly the past four years she has been the coroner.

Arnall highlighted his 25 years of forensic pathology experience and that he has done 4,000 autopsies and testified in 300-400 homicide trials in the nation.

“If residents want a coroner that is a certified forensic pathologist, they should vote for me,” he said.

Broncucia-Jordan pointed out that a coroner’s job was to administrate, and that the coroner’s office would have a certified forensic pathologist on staff regardless of who won.

“I hope that during the last four years in office I’ve earned your support and respect,” she said.

The candidates for clerk and recorder tangled about the county’s ability to streamline services at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Republican candidate Stan Martin said if he was elected into the office, he would work on decreasing wait times at the DMV. He said he has studied the Lobby Service System used in El Paso and the average wait time is 11 minutes.

Cynthia Martinez, Democrat, said that the DMV division was an agent of the state and that Adams County just could not implement change without its consent.

“When we talk about change it has to come through the state,” she said. “We work for them and they finance it.”

Martin rebutted: “We can absolutely put in our own lobby service system. We don’t need permission to do that.”

Martin has 23 years of experience in business management. Martinez is a current councilwoman in Brighton and has more than 25 years in the legal field.

Martinez said one of the things she would like to do is update the software in the Clerk & Recorder Office.

Aside from shortening the DMV wait time, Martin said he would like to look into why the office is spending $500,000 in overtime each year.

“When you’re working them too much they get tired, burned out and make mistakes,” he said.

The only candidate that was not able to make it was Steve Douglas, a Commerce City councilman, who is running against incumbent Brigitte Grimm for the treasurer spot.

Douglas, a Democrat, wrote a letter apologizing for his absence, explaining that there was an emergency council meeting he had to attend.

Grimm, a Republican, did share with the audience her background and qualifications.

Paid Political Adverstisement

JEFFCO BOARD OF EDUCATION: ON THE RECORD The Jefferson County Board of Education discussed the following legislation during its Aug. 28 regular business meeting. Board members in attendance were President Ken Witt, First Vice President Julie Williams, Second Vice President Lesley Dahlkemper, Secretary John Newkirk and Treasurer Jill Fellman.

Curriculum review committee The board voted 3-2 (Newkirk, Williams, Witt) to approve amendments to the district’s current curriculum review committees.

The committees, as approved, are associated with policies, IJ and IJ-R, which reference the districts current content and resource review committees. The approved proposal adds representation of students, parents and community members to the committees, which already call for teachers and content specialists. A district facilitator, such as the Chief Academic Officer, was also added, and the committees will report to the board, requiring their meetings are made public meetings.

It is still to be determined if the committees will review the AP U.S. History curriculum.

Fourth Quarter Financial Report The board heard a presentation from interim Chief Financial Officer, Kathy Askelson, regarding the fourth quarter financial report.

so he could put Adams County first.

“Adams County is at a crossroads and I want to see Adams County move forward,” he said.

Hansen said nine area mayors endorsed him because they knew they could work with him on the issues.

It does not matter who is Democrat or Republican, he said, “The question is who is getting the job done.”

The first candidates for the newly created District 4 and District 5 board seats also got to highlight their goals if elected.

District 4 Democrat candidate Steve O’Dorisio said he wanted to concentrate on bettering the quality of life for residents and making sure projects are completed in the north area. O’Dorisio served four years with the Adams County District Attorney’s Office as a prosecutor.

“I’ve seen the best and the worst of the community and I think it’s time to high-

Askelson showed total revenue, when compared with the district’s budget is at 100 percent, with increase revenues because of ownership tax and state revenue. She also mentioned expenditures are higher than previous years because of the increases in compensation, curriculum purchases and PERA costs.

She also discussed the expenditures for different funds, identified yellow flag charter schools and provided a brief synopsis of what’s to come in terms of facilities, technology, heath care reform and special education updates.

Policy review The board reviewed policies GP-13 and GP-14, which address both the board’s role on committee structures and board member violations.

The board voted on GP-13, approving a motion to have board members attend meetings, but not be part of the committee.

The board did not take a vote on GP14.

The next board of education meeting will be 5:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 16, in the Jefferson County Education Center, 1829 Denver West Dr., Golden.

light the best,” he said.

His challenger, Joe Domenico, serves on the North Washington Fire board and is the operations manager for his family’s farm. He said one of the first goals he has if elected is working on repealing the stormwater utility fee.

“Under TABOR, if it’s a tax, it should go to the vote of the people,” he said.

The District 5 candidates also weighed in on the stormwater utility fee.

Republican Jan Pawlowski said the fee feels like a tax to her and would like to examine the issue farther. Pawlowski is a former mayor of Brighton.

Democrat Wilma Rose said she would like to put a moratorium on the program and reevaluate how it is implemented.

Rose is a former Brighton councilwoman.

Voters approved in 2012 a ballot measure to increase the number of elected commissioners from three to five. Members on the board will be residents in their districts but are to be elected by the voters of the entire county.

Land to be developed near Westminster Station

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com The Adams County Housing Authority recently hosted an open house to gain public input on how to develop land near the future Westminster Station.

The Oct. 1 meeting was the first stage in what could become a redevelopment project for six-and-a-half acres of land west of Federal Boulevard and north of 71st Avenue in Westminster.

“We are in the process of master planning for the area,” said Don May, Adams County Housing Authority executive director. “We’re looking to do some redevelopment of some vacant land in conjunction with the commuter rail that is coming in.”

The open house offered the community a look at a variety of uses and designs that could be used in the area. May said there is great potential for the area, especially once the commuter station and rail is complete in 2016.

May’s colleague Chris Auxier, director of development, said the designs shown at the meeting were conceptual plans. He said the project would eventually be a mix of existing and new uses.

“This project is not a short term endeavor,” he said. “As the entire area near the station develops we hope to be part of that long term transformation.”

Some of the uses in the project could include residential, commercial, outdoors areas like parks and open space. May said the first focus will be on housing, which would be appealing to a mix of incomes.

“There is so much potential in the area.”

Sheriff candidate runs on experience McIntosh highlights career, community involvement

By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com During the more than 26 years Michael McIntosh has been with the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, he has served in every division of the agency.

He’s been a patrol deputy, detective, SWAT team leader, lieutenant and division captain, and now the division chief of administrative services.

“What I’m running on is experience, and I think it matters,” said the Republican candidate for sheriff.

As the division chief, McIntosh has direct oversight of training, IT, civil, human resources, finance, records and public information office sections. His resume also includes oversight of the Sheriff’s Office annual $58 million budget and oversight and administration of 520 full-time employees and sworn officers.

“Essentially, I’m running the business side of the sheriff’s office, and I have for the past five years,” he said.

He is also the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Academy directory and helped develop the regional training facility, Flatrock.

His ultimate goal as sheriff would be to suspend the municipal inmate cap at

the jail, which has caused consternation among the cities within Adams County.

“I have a strong desire to completely get rid of the cap,” he said.

He said he did not like officers on the scene of an incident have to worry if his or her municipality has reached its cap and if an arrest should be made. He also did not like that people who are low risks to society are put in jail and face losing their jobs.

However, he added, “I’m a firm believer that if they are a threat to our community they need to be in jail.”

He said there were many different programs that worked in the past that the county should look into using to help reduce the inmate population in the jail.

If elected as sheriff, McIntosh said he would like to create a DNA lab in the McIntosh county. Right now the county sends its DNA evidence to the Colorado Bureau of Investigations lab, which can be time consuming, he said.

“DNA evidence has been so critical with most of our trials, so demand on processing evidence has expanded greatly,” McIntosh said. “(Our own lab) opens up the door for our investigators to develop and eliminate suspects quicker.”

While the state does not charge the county now for using its lab, McIntosh said he suspects a fee will be coming shortly.

October 18th & 19th

McIntosh listed his involvement with the community: board member of the Community Reach Center and Community of Faith United; a committee member of the Metro North Chamber of Commerce, Business and Government Affairs; and board chair of Prairie Community Church.

“I’m not just focused internally on our employees,” he said. “I’m focused exter-

nally on the community to know what its needs are. I want to have a Sheriff’s Office that has an impact on the communities we serve.”

McIntosh has lived in Adams County for almost 40 years and graduated from Brighton High School. He served in the U.S. Navy before joining the Sheriff’s Office in 1988.

He and his wife, Cathy, have two children.

Turning wine into ‘good works’ Instead of turning water into wine as we learned in the Bible, it is a case of turning wine into dollars to support a variety of “good works” exclusively in Westminster. For the 12th year, the Westminster Legacy Foundation is hosting its wine tasting fundraiser at the Westminster Westin Hotel and Conference Center.

The popular event is set for Friday, Oct. 17 with over 100 different wines to sample along with micro brews and there is a scotch tasting to top it off. Thanks to Total Beverage, an ample number of distributors bring their “adult beverages” for Foundation supporters to taste and enjoy along with complimentary appetizers from Westminster area restaurants.

Include a silent auction and live auction, and you have a solid enjoyable evening.

Plus, it is all for a very good cause.

The city’s foundation

The Westminster Legacy Foundation was initiated and established by the Westminster City Council in 1999. Mayor Nancy Heil spearheaded recruiting prominent business people for the initial Board of Directors which held its first meeting in 2001. The focus of the Foundation has been to partner with the city government to expand funding opportunities to enhance the quality of living in Westminster.

As a 501c3 organization, it is able to provide contributors and sponsors with a tax deduction opportunity which the City cannot offer under IRS law. Since starting fundraising events in 2001, the Foundation has distributed over $626,000 through

2013 which includes both restricted and non-restricted funds.

Helping make a difference in the community The foundation has played a key role in raising and administering funds for such major community projects as the Jessica Ridgeway Park, the Armed Forces Tribute Garden, historic restoration projects, the Nancy Heil Sculpture Tribute at the Irving Street Library and many others. Each year, the foundation accepts grant applications on a semi-annual basis from nonprofit organizations and the city of Westminster to serve a variety of community needs. Over the years, approximately 50 different organizations have received funds to extend their services. Without these grants, these nonprofit organizations would be forced to reduce or eliminate service to Westminster residents.

A plethora of service and projects

The recipients of foundation funding include such organizations as Growing Home, CASA of Adams and Broomfield Counties, CASA of Jefferson and Gilpin

Counties, The Senior Hub, A Precious Child, Access Housing, Clinica Colorado, Brothers Redevelopment, Inc. Community Reach Center, Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention, Westminster Youth Scholarships for recreation programs, Jefferson Center for Mental Health and Ralston House to list some of them.

From health services, to helping seniors with minor home repairs, to being the “voice” for abused and neglected children in court, to delivering meals to shut-in seniors, to providing temporary housing for homeless families, to offering free influenza inoculations, to funding recreation programs for low income families, the foundation’s partners are carrying out “good works” envisioned by City Council back in 1999. Obviously, the list of diverse services provided is longer than space will allow to mention.

Join the fun and provide support One of the two major fundraisers which the foundation holds each hear is the wine tasting event. Tickets are available at Total Beverage located at 93rd Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard. Why not enjoy a fun evening in Westminster to help support “good works” exclusively in Westminster.

Perhaps you would be helping a neighbor or friend in realizing a better life. Turning wine into dollars is all about helping others in the Westminster community.

Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Supporting North Metro mill levy increase Do not forget North Metro Fire Rescue District (NMFRD) on Nov. 4. Covering 63 square miles – 2 cities and parts of 5 counties, NMFRD’s been recognized with national and International awards.

They’re always there for us, whether 911 medical assistance, floods or fires.

The fire district needs to maintain equipment wear-and-tear, price of gas, national standards, swift-water and advanced medical life support skills plus new kinds of threats. This takes funding.

Constant readiness to protect homes, schools, churches, businesses and us – the people – costs money. A mill levy increase will bring NMFRD to tax-norms of like-sized fire departments. Publiclyraised dollars are precious; every dollar’s use is strategically planned. I know this as I serve as NMFRD Board-Treasurer.

This is my personal message. Protecting one’s life and property doesn’t get any more personal. Teamwork for these highly-qualified individuals is ‘Job One’ – they are in constant training – physically and mentally. Committed to saving money, NMFRD collaborates with other area fire departments training recruits together at NMFRD’s state-of-the-art Training Center. Colorado National Guard uses this Training Facility; so do police department SWAT teams.

NMFRD’s fire-based-EMS trains in close cooperation with local police. Upgrading radio communications carried a retail price-tag of $450,000 – NMFRD’s staff ingenuity did it for only $28,000. NMFRD maintains and repairs its own vehicles and those of other districts. There’s no ballyhoo in the press – it’s a matter of pride – been that way since 1946.

When arriving “on scene,” NMFRD’s brave women and men realize there’s a challenge at-hand – not always in the best of circumstances – sometimes life-threatening. Fire-based EMS teams are in the “trust” business. They always realize this, because we trust they will act heroically to save us and our homes.

They personify “Excellence through Each Individual Act.” Please, see to it that you vote on Nov. 4.

Vote yes on 3K, 3L

I am planning to vote yes on issues 3K and 3L. We are talking about 18 cents a day for Mapleton to attract and retain quality teachers, replace outdated classroom technology, fix up our oldest schools and dramatically improve safety and security districtwide.

We know that this investment will come right back into our pockets in increased property values. Please join me in voting YES on 3K and 3L. Ray Garcia

Yes to Mapleton

As a parent and community member I am writing in support of Mapleton Public Schools. The 3K and 3L measures will support our school district in so

many ways. We all know how important it is to keep our kids safe while at school and with this help we can install some security upgrades throughout the district.

We need to continue to give support to the Mapleton students through providing new educational programs including more access to technology.

Some schools are in desperate need of upgrades that allow these students to learn in a safe environment. As a parent volunteer in the district I am all for giving these students a safe and productive learning environment.

Over the years I have met wonderful teachers, staff, parents and students who are all so deserving of this support.

Please join me in voting yes on 3K and 3L. Juanita Martinez-Lujan

Support Mapleton I am in strong support of Mapleton Public Schools’ measures 3K and 3L. Measure 3K would ensure that Mapleton’s amazing progress is protected, supporting things like retaining our best teachers, improving access to classroom technology, and providing before and after school and summer programs. 3L will make sure that we can extend the life of our 50-plus-year-old school buildings — if you’ve seen them, you know that they need work!

The District has done a great job maintaining them, but eventually buildings need things like updated security/ safety systems, new heating and air conditioning systems, and new roofs.

It makes financial sense to make these no-frills investments.

Our kids are going to amazing schools like DU, School of Mines, CU, Stanford, and Yale.

As voters, we need to make sure this progress is protected.

Please vote yes on 3K and 3L! Cindy Croisant

Get the facts on 4A The North Metro Fire Rescue District has been providing high quality public safety services to our community for over 60 years. During this time, community members have benefited from exceptional leadership and cost-efficient financial planning.

Today the district is faced with a significant increase in emergency call volume, a 37-percent increase during the past 10 years, while funding has not kept pace with this increase in emergency calls for service. In an effort to balance the budget the district has already made significant cuts and has continued to deplete its General Fund reserves.

Without an increase in funding, the district will need to reduce the number of firefighters and equipment used daily to respond to calls, thus jeopardizing community safety. Vote ‘yes’ on 4A. Jenni Murphy Long time North Metro Fire District resident

Teaching the untestable Sylvia was ... eccentric ... but she demanded of her students their best behavior, and she rewarded them for it.

In the process, she taught us that to be different — to be exceptional — was a good thing.

Fred made his own life a little harder by welcoming students to take on extra work, and then coaching them through it. He made acceleration a desirable and attainable objective.

Rebecca was young and energetic, and she matched her students’ enthusiasm with humor and intelligence.

She made it cool to get excited about school.

Leonard was old school, even at a time when it was all “old school.” But, in the process, he created a safe haven to take risks, to try harder, and then he worked tirelessly to provide opportunities for his students to explore.

George was smart, and forceful. But he also challenged students to challenge him, to think on their own, and to stick up for themselves and their ideas.

Peggy was brilliant, one of the finest musicians I’ve ever worked with.

And she was fierce in her demand that students give nothing less than their very best to create wonderful, artistic moments.

Kent was that teacher that you either got, or you didn’t. I got him ...

I think. And, in the process, I learned that science is about questioning yourself, making you prove your own thinking, and, maybe, just maybe, that it is more than a little bit about philosophy.

Becky was facile, and passionate.

She was the first one who ever proposed the idea that learning was its own reward, regardless of whatever tests may be coming.

Diana had a penetrating intellect, and she was adept at cutting through standard student babble. She gave no quarter in her expectation that students be efficient and thorough in their reasoning.

This is a list — by no means comprehensive — of the teachers whose influence on my life resonates through time to this day. And, if you look care-

fully, you’ll notice that not a single one of them taught me how to pass an assessment. Did I learn things from them that would show up on tests some day? Of course. But the lessons that stayed with me are not things that can be measured, not things that can be rewarded or punished by a faceless, nameless bureaucrat, and not things that are in a curriculum framework.

The public schools have been in a bright, hot spotlight for the last several weeks, and a lot of that has centered around a curriculum and its test, both of which are created by faceless, nameless bureaucrats half a continent away.

But that’s not the real work of teaching.

In fact, the more things that get thrust upon us by faceless, nameless bureaucrats, the harder it seems it is to do the real job of teaching.

I know that schools need to be held accountable for their dispensing of a public trust, and I support that. But what seems, more and more, to be the means of that accountability is reducing all the difficult, real work down to a student’s ability to pick the correct circle on a sheet of paper.

Students won’t remember that ability, and their lives won’t be changed by it. So, let’s have a passionate, serious, *respectful* debate about that curriculum and what it means for accountability. But let’s not confuse that with the important things that teachers try to do every hour of every school day.

They’re not the same thing.

Jeffco 4-H invites youth to open house Oct. 13 Staff Report Jefferson County 4-H Youth Development Program invites all Jeffco youth ages 5-18 to attend the annual 4-H Open House on 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 13.

The event will be in the Event Center at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds at 15200 W. 6th Ave., Golden.

Members and leaders of 4-H will be sharing what they have worked on throughout the year at the 4-H Open House. There are 16 4-H clubs that meet throughout the county in Arvada, Conifer, Evergreen, Golden and Morrison, with projects such as archery, clothing construction, dog obedience, gardening, horse and horseless horse, livestock (large and small animal), natural resources, outdoor skills, pet rabbit, robotics, shooting sports, sport fishing, veterinary science and wildlife, to name a few.

More than 6 million young people across the country will celebrate National 4-H Week, an annual celebration of 4-H during the first full week of October.

Jefferson County 4-H will leverage National 4-H Week this year to showcase the great things that 4-H offers young people

and highlights the incredible 4-H youth in the community who work each day to make a positive impact on the community.

Research has proven that participation in 4-H has a significant positive impact on young people. Recent findings from the Tufts University 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development indicate that, when compared to their peers, young people in 4-H are: nearly four times more likely to contribute to their communities, two times more likely to pursue healthy behaviors, and two times more likely to engage in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs during outof-school time.

In Jefferson County, more than 300 4-H youth and 90 volunteers from the community are involved in 4 H. Learn more about Colorado 4-H at colorado4h.org and 4-H in Jefferson County at jeffcoextension.org. Enrollment for the 2014-2015 4-H year begins Oct. 15. For more information, call Lisa Sholten, Extension Agent in 4-H Youth Development, at 303-271-6620 or email at Ishoulten@jeffco.us. Extension programs are available to all.

Airbus to health St. Anthony, Flight For Life celebrate new helicopter

By Clarke Reader

creader@colorado communitymedia.com Colorado is home to some of the most active residents in the nation, and while that’s a benefit for most, the mountainous locations can make for a tricky situation if someone needs medical help.

After years of fundraising Flight For Life Colorado, headquartered in St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood, has a new Airbus As350 B3e Emergency Medical Helicopter to assist in medical emergencies.

“It made look like our other helicopters but it’s got a bigger engine, which gives us an increased safety margin,” said Rod Balak, aviation manager with Flight for Life. “It has a great new autopilot feature for us that doesn’t add much to the weight of the helicopter.”

The St. Anthony Health Foundation and Summit Medical Center Foundation both led the charge to raise the $1 million needed to purchase the Airbus.

According to information provided by Flight Fore life, the medical interior of the new craft includes United Rotorcraft’s Articulating Litter Loading System (ALLS) to easily load and secure critically injured patients and neo-

St. Anthony’s new Airbus As350 B3e Emergency Medical Helicopter has more power and enhanced systems to make it easier and safer to pick up patients in dangerous situations. Photos by Clarke Reader The pilots of the new Airbus As350 B3e helicopter have logged more than 4,000 hours and will use the new helicopter all over the front range and western slope. natal isolettes for transport. On board medical systems include liquid oxygen (LOX), compressed air, suction, mounts to accommodate carry-on medical equipment as well as an abundance of AC power. The interior lighting is fully night vision system compatible.

The new helicopter will be stationed at the St. Anthony Summit Medical Center in Frisco, according to Balak. Its speed and range will allow it to cover the western front range as well as ski areas near Aspen and Steamboat.

No one knows the importance of Flight For Life in that area than Brittany Gilbert, who

made use of its services after getting into a bicycle accident in Breckenridge.

“The accident was in August 2012 and I was taken to the hospital in Frisco by Flight For Life before being taken to the St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood to get treated,” she said.

“It was at that hospital that I first found out I was pregnant.”

To reduce the swelling on her brain, Gilbert eventually had to get 25 percent of her skull removed for a period of three months.

She maintained good health during her pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy son, now 17 months old.

“It’s such an honor for me to speak about this, because in a way it’s kind of closure for me,” she said. “It’s mind-blowing to me what the doctors and nurses were able to do for me.”

For Balak and the pilots he works with, the new Airbus helicopter will give doctors and nurses more chances to save lives.

“With the more power we now have, we’ll be able to get to some of the places that can be the worst to land,” he said. “The focus of all of this is the patient.”

The new Airbus As350 B3e Emergency Medical Helicopter is the result of several years of fundraising from the St. Anthony Health Foundation and Summit Medical Center Foundation.

Among the many features of the “Legends” show, audience members will see trapeze artists flying through the air.

By Clarke Reader

creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

G

oing to the circus is one of the oldest forms of family entertainment around, and Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey has been bringing mystery and wonder to all corners of the country for nearly a century.

The touring company is stopping by the Denver Coliseum, 4600 Humboldt St., Oct. 9-13 to present its latest show, “Legends.” Show times are 7 p.m. on Oct. 9, 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Oct. 10, 11 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Oct. 11, 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Oct. 12 and 7 p.m. on Oct. 13.

“The best thing we do is make a child smile,” said exotic animal trainer Vicki Zsilak. “Ringling brings different shows to audiences every year, so it’s exciting to show them something new.”

“Legends” features performers from all over the globe, who use feats of daring, spectacles of strength and thrills of wonder to bring to life creatures that have long drifted through myth — the unicorn, Pegasus and even a woolly mammoth.

Zsilak said the show features horse riding, bikers in a globe of steel and flying trapeze artists, in addition to dozens of other features.

Zsilak is a third-generation performer from Hungary, who was raised in a circus family.

Her grandparents performed a

slack wire act in addition to being jugglers and her parents met while touring with Ringling Bros. in the 1960s.

She said she received her training both from her parents and from the Hungary School of Arts, but found that it was her connection to animals that cemented her place in the circus.

“I started with horseback juggling and started WHAT: Ringling Bros. and Barnum & taking care of the aniBailey present “Legends” mals. That’s where I met WHERE: Denver Coliseum my husband,” Zsilak said.

4600 Humboldt St., Denver “Since then I’ve worked WHEN: Oct. 9 - 7 p.m. with all kinds of exotic Oct. 10 - 11 a.m., 7 p.m. animals in our shows.”

Oct. 11 - 11 a.m., 3 p.m., 7 p.m.

In “Legends” she will be Oct. 12 - 1 p.m., 5 p.m. presenting goats, llamas, Oct. 12 - 7 p.m. ponies and two kangaroos.

COST: Tickets start at $16.50 Ticket holders who want INFORMATION: www.ringling.com a chance to meet the per-

formers and the animals now have a chance an hour and a half before the show starts. Families can come to the arena floor and talk to the performers, take photos and see some of the animals up close.

“That’s the most exciting part for us, to meet our audience,” Zsilak said.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey claimed for years it’s “The Greatest Show on Earth” and Zsilak said “Legends” lives up to the hype.

“It’s an incredible show for all ages,” she said. “It’s an honor for me to be a part of this and get to travel to so many cities. The best part is that for two and a half hours we get to help people forget about their problems.”

October is reminder of disease fight October reminds those of us who are breast cancer survivors how lucky we are for having lived through the journey.

Ours is a sorority we never wanted to join. But we did unwillingly and lived to tell it. For me, a multi-year survivor (it’s funny that I no longer remember how many years), October is also a month to support breast cancer patients who are on the path to survival through donating to a charity.

My wish in October, and the rest of the year, is for a cure in my lifetime that will annihilate this insidious disease.

Rich Grant bids adieu

Rich Grant, Denver’s biggest booster who’s worked at Visit Denver for nearly 35 years, has finally set a retirement date — Dec. 31, his 35th anniversary with the Convention and Visitors Bureau.

“It’s been a wild and truly wonderful ride, and I had the great privilege of working with the best communications team ever assembled: Deborah Park, Sarah Welch, Katie Adamson Converse, Shannon Dexheimer, Meredith Mirrington, Jennifer Elving Asbury, Angela Berardino, Carrina Waneka, Jill McGranahan, Joy Long Meadows, Andrea Burns, Diane Bechamps, Kim Farin and Carolyn Livingston,” Grant posted on his Facebook page Tuesday.

“And of course, it’s been great working with (CEO) Richard Scharf and the rest of the amazing Visit Denver team. I’ll still be around consulting. And I imagine there might be a retirement party in the future. Or two. Or three. Cheers!”

Grant has been toying with his retirement date for months, but settled on his 35th work anniversary and his 65th birthday as the right time.

“When I discovered there were 12 new breweries in Denver that I hadn’t been to, I realized — I don’t have enough free time!” he said.

I have worked and cocktail-partied with Grant during my 21 years as a Denver-based journalist. Grant, indeed, is Denver’s biggest booster even when he’s trying to convince me that a story that really isn’t a story deserves front-page attention. He’s been a staunch supporter of our fair city, and will be sorely missed.

Trip is a true test

By Alan Knutson

Editor’s Note: This is the second half of Boy Scout Alan Knutson’s article about Troop 471’s (Northglenn, Thornton) summer adventure, a 57-mile hike.

The hike was very intimidating, hardworking, and very good for the muscles. It is one that took time to complete but was worthwhile for the adventure and the view. This trip took us to (almost) the top of Mount Princeton. With good spirits, singing, and quite a lot of fun with friends we were able to make the trip in less than 7 days.

I can admit the trip was tedious. It did test my emotions, thoughts, and gave me time to think about what was important to me. Here are some things that we had to do. We started on July 31 and ended on Aug. 5. On Thursday morning we started at Monarch Pass, San Isabel Colorado. The first day always seems the longest and always seems like the worst. We all had an eventful first day.

Many things occurred on the trip. On the first day, July 31; we hiked the first 8 miles in a span of 6 hours. At the halfway mark of the first day (lunch) we were at the start of the Colorado trailhead. On the second day we hiked a total of 10 miles which put us at the 18 mile marker through the

whole trip. On the third day, we hiked 14 miles.

We were looking for a creek to filter water, but the creek we were looking for was dried up. So we continued to the next creek. Our Scout master, Mr. Kent, and his oldest son, Victor, walked 24 miles that day because they climbed Mt. Shavano. On the fourth day, we hiked 7 miles in 3.5 hours.

We played many card games.

On the Sunday evening, we had a small church service that I served as a Master of Ceremonies with help from my whole troop. While we ate, there was a deer that was a ways away from the camp that posed for selfies for a few minutes than the group of deer ran away gracefully. On the second to last day we made a camp near the base of Mount Princeton. On the last day we hiked from the camp site to where we had to turn around and took a group shot then headed back down, due to weather. We then walked to soon arrive at the Hot Springs, to then eat, and then headed home.

In grand total we hiked 57 miles. We cleaned up camp every morning and night. Then on the way down from the base of Mount Princeton we hiked with trash bags along the highway. Our bags weighed probably a total of 30 pounds because we picked up big pieces of metal, non broken glass, and cigarette boxes.

Chicken special is back

I cornered Denver restaurant mogul Frank Bonanno at one of his booths during Denver Food and Wine recently, and begged, pleaded and cajoled him into bringing back chicken Tuesdays at Lou’s Food Bar, 1851 W. 38th Ave. And although I can’t take total credit for the return of one of my favorite restaurant deals — a half fried chicken (naked, medium or Nashville hot) with two sides and a draft for $20 per person — I certainly added to the popular demand to bring back that Tuesday tradition.

Lou’s has also extended hours to welcome late-night diners and drinkers, and has expanded the tap selection to 17 drafts. Reservations: www.lousfoodbar.com; walk-ins welcome. Thanks, Frank!

Governor sticks with different drum

Hickenlooper says unusual approach isn’t indecision

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com John Hickenlooper doesn’t worry about whether people “get” him.

His “aw, shucks,” nerd-like personality and his imperfect — and sometimes meandering — way of speaking are a far cry from anything that resembles a polished, focusgroup-driven politician.

Through three elections, the quirky Hickenlooper brand has resonated with voters, as evidenced by a landslide win for governor in 2010, and before that, two decisive victories in Denver mayoral races.

But it is that same style that has left him wide open for political attacks. He has become fodder for Republican press releases that blast the governor as being a wishywashy failed leader who struggles while deciding over a breakfast menu, much less over areas of public policy.

“Obviously, I’m a different kind of politician, but that’s what most people said they wanted,” said Hickenlooper during a recent one-on-one interview with Colorado Community Media from inside his re-election campaign office in Denver’s Lower Highland neighborhood.

“They said they’re sick of the same old talking head who gets up in there in a robotic fashion and says the same platitudes that we’ve heard for a million years. That’s one of the reasons why people like me run for office. I think people deserve more.”

Hickenlooper has heard the criticism before. But as he enters the final stretch of a tight re-election campaign against former Congressman Bob Beauprez, he prefers to talk about his economic record as governor.

There is no question that the economy has gained steam and jobs have been created under his watch. And he largely received praised for his response to crises that made national headlines, such as the Aurora theater shooting, wildfires and last year’s statewide flooding.

But Hickenlooper’s own words haven’t done him any favors this campaign.

Sometimes when the governor speaks, the result is reminiscent of the Grateful Dead during an off night — the trademark style is there, but it will sometimes run off the rails, leaving those listening scratching their heads.

His decision last year to grant a reprieve to death-row inmate Nathan Dunlap — who killed four people inside an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993 — was met with confusion and criticism.

And in television interviews this year, the governor said that he has moved away from being a supporter of the death penalty (he told voters in 2010 that he was in favor of capital punishment).

And he suggested during a CNN interview that clemency for Dunlap may still end up being an option. The Hickenlooper campaign has said he was responding to a hypothetical question and maintains that Dunlap will die in prison.

Also this year, the governor caused a stir over remarks on gun-control legislation that he gave to a group of sheriffs meeting

‘I sit there and look back over the past four years (and) I think during all the significant issues, I think we made the right decisions.’

Those measure were opposed by the majority of sheriffs in the state, many of whom were onetime plaintiffs in an unsuccessful lawsuit against the new laws.

Those are a few examples of what has led to a lambasting of Hickenlooper over his “indecisiveness” and “failed leadership” on the part of Beauprez and the rest of the Republican Party.

“Where have I been indecisive?” Hickenlooper said. “Nathan Dunlap? The (Colo-

rado) Constitution gives you three choices: Execution, clemency or a reprieve. We chose reprieve two months before the decision was made.”

“And background checks ... I did say I wish we had gone and allowed the other side a greater opportunity to discuss, but I never went back on the decision.”

No to negative ads Hickenlooper said his political opponents are “looking for anything they can get” to defeat him, while ignoring his accomplishments.

The governor said he is proud of his Hickenlooper continues on Page 17

Challenger highlights leadership issue Beauprez doubles down on tough approach

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com It seems appropriate that a guy who likes to play in the dirt is involved in politics — a business where a lot of mud gets slung.

Yes, Bob Beauprez is a former congressman and the Republican nominee for governor, but he is also a bison rancher and an avid gardener who likes getting his hands dirty.

“I am obsessive about the condition of our yard and garden and all that,” Beauprez said during a recent one-on-one interview with Colorado Community Media.

“I love playing in the dirt. I love plants and fussing with them and the beauty of them.”

When Beauprez isn’t tending to his plants, he is on the campaign trail trying to plant the seed in the minds of voters that Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper is a failed leader who should be voted out of office.

“He has this obsession with collaborating; wants to talk everything through, forever,” Beauprez said of Hickenlooper. “He can’t make a decision, and he won’t make a decision.”

While Beauprez hammers away at Hickenlooper on a number of issues — gun control, the death penalty and hydraulic fracturing, just to name a few — he is also out to prove the late F. Scott Fitzgerald wrong, that there are indeed second acts in

American lives.

Beauprez lost badly to Bill Ritter in a 2006 gubernatorial bid where he never recovered from the “Both Ways Bob” label that was pinned on him by a fellow Republican in the primary field.

It would be a quite a comeback story if Beauprez unseats Hickenlooper, especially in a state that has been trending Democratic in recent elections and where voters rarely have an appetite to vote out an incumbent governor. Hickenlooper is also backed by an economy that has grown stronger and created jobs on his watch.

But Beauprez believes voters now have the appetite to oust a governor who won his seat in a landslide in 2010 and whose personality has both endeared him to supporters and irked his detractors.

Beauprez spent the entire summer blasting Hickenlooper for “failing to lead” on the issue of the death penalty, having been highly critical of the governor’s decision to grant a reprieve to death-row inmate Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993.

Beauprez said Hickenlooper should have either chosen to go forward with the execution or grant clemency, rather than taking a middle road.

Beauprez has also hammered away at Hickenlooper for his handling of issues surrounding hydraulic fracturing. Beauprez has been critical of the governor’s creation of a fracking task force that is charged with providing lawmakers with recommendations on oil and gas drilling issues.

Beauprez believes the oil and gas industry is already over-regulated and that Hicken-

‘...This isn’t about who you want to go have a beer with or shoot a game of pool with.

looper’s fielding of a commission is a yet another example of his “kicking the can down the road” approach to governing.

“At some point he crossed a line of ‘I just want to get along and make everybody happy,’ to ‘Where do you want to take us and how do you want us to get there?’”

“Lead,” Beauprez said of Hickenlooper.

Image not cuddly

Beauprez is not afraid to attack, either through political ads or on the debate stage.

But some in the media have recently wondered whether Beauprez risks coming across as being too rigid — or even mean.

A Denver Post article described Beauprez’s performance during a Sept. 30 debate the newspaper hosted as “practiced and polished — if sometimes stern in his conservative views ...”

Left-leaning columnist Mike Littwick of the Colorado Independent said Beauprez came across as angry and bully-like during an Oct. 3 debate in Pueblo.

“There’s a very thin line between being aggressive and, well, being a jerk,” Litwick wrote.

During a tense moment of the debate, Beauprez was criticized by Hickenlooper for Beauprez continues on Page 17

Benefit from nutritious meat even after Thanksgiving

By Metro Creative Connection

I

f turkey is not normally on your lunch or dinner menu, come the holiday season it’s bound to show up in abundance. As soon as the weather cools and the crispness of late autumn is in the air, thoughts turn to more hearty meals, and of course, the fall pièce de résistance: Thanksgiving dinner.

Turkey takes center stage on many Thanksgiving dinner tables, even though history suggests it likely wasn’t served at the first Thanksgiving. Despite this historical discrepancy, turkey and all the trimmings continue to be traditional fare for big holiday dinners.

Much more than just delicious and filling, turkey boasts many nutritional benefits, making it a worthwhile addition to your diet regardless of the season. · Protein: Turkey is often overshadowed by other meats in refrigerated display cases, but it remains an excellent source of protein in a low-fat package. A typical 3.4- to four-ounce serving of skinless turkey

breast (about the size of a deck of cards) contains around 30 grams of protein, providing about 65 percent of the average person’s recommended daily allotment of protein. Protein helps the body feel full and serves many essential functions in the body.

Proteins regulate the entry of nutrients through cell walls, help the body grow and help it to generate antibodies that fight against illness. · Low-fat: A serving of turkey is only 161 calories and contains just four grams of fat, which is low in saturated fat. · B-vitamin benefits: Turkey is an excellent source of B vitamins, including B3, B6 and B12. Having enough B3, also known as niacin, is important for overall health, and higher levels of niacin can improve cholesterol levels and lower a person’s risk for cardiovascular disease. B6 is also called pyridoxine.

It’s involved in the process of making certain neurotransmitters, including serotonin and norepinephrine, which transmit signals in the brain. Important for neurological health, B12 helps decrease levels

of homocysteine, which can contribute to cognitive decline. · Immune system effects: People may not know turkey contains selenium, which is key to healthy thyroid function. It also helps boost the immune system by playing a role in the body’s antioxidant defense system. Selenium may help eliminate free radicals in the body that would otherwise contribute to cancer risk. · Relaxation: Many people are aware of turkey’s ability to induce feelings of relaxation, particularly when eaten in abundance at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Turkey contains the amino acid tryptophan, which plays a role in triggering production of serotonin. Serotonin can induce feelings of relaxation and sleepiness.

Turkey is lean, full of essential nutrients and low in saturated fat, making it a worthy addition to your diet no matter what time of year it happens to be.

seeming to invoke the 2013 murder of Department of Corrections chief Tom Clements.

Clements was murdered outside of his Black Forest home, allegedly by Evan Ebel, an inmate who had been in solitary confinement just days before he was paroled.

Beauprez asked Hickenlooper: “What do you have to say to women who are widows who have orphans because of parolees that you have let out of state correction direct from solitary confinement?”

Hickenlooper blasted Beauprez’s comments.

work during the flooding that ravaged many parts of the state last year. While rain was wreaking havoc, the governor held a meeting with Colorado Department of Transportation administrators, during which he urged them to reopen roads around Lyons and Estes Park more than a month ahead of the time they believed was possible.

Had those roads not reopened when they did, Hickenlooper believes businesses in those small towns would have shut down.

“We made that decision in 48 hours while the rain was still falling — and we did it,” he said. “That’s indecision?”

In spite of a barrage of attack ads that target him, Hickenlooper sticks to the promise he made to voters years ago — that his campaign would never run a negative ad.

“Sure it works,” Hickenlooper said of negative campaigning. “If all you care about is winning one short-term election, sure, go out and have a field day; load the cannons and fire off the missiles.”

“But, at the end of the election, after all those negative ads, no one is satisfied ... Whoever the winner is, there’s so many negative ads against them, they are going to have a hard time leading.”

Hickenlooper said he doesn’t regret any decision he’s made in office. And he points to an economy that has been

litical gambit, I think is reprehensible,” the governor said.

Beauprez — who did not specifically mention Clements during the exchange — made no apologies about his comments when asked them during his interview with Colorado Community Media.

“It’s true,” Beauprez said as he leaned over the table for emphasis. Beauprez cited a 2013 Denver Post article that reported that 110 parolees were let directly out of solitary confinement and onto the streets in a single year.

As for whether people think he comes across as prickly, Beauprez said, “I take the job seriously.”

“Most people that know me know that I’m a pretty good grandpa, that I’m a pretty good dad. I’ve been a very good husband, so I’ve got that side to me as well,” he said. “But this isn’t about who you want to go have a beer with or

among the best in the nation in many post-recession categories.

The Business Insider website ranks Colorado’s economy tops in the nation.

And Forbes magazine recently listed the state among the best states for businesses.

However, other economic models show the rest of the state lagging behind the strengthening Denver metro area’s economy with median household incomes decreasing over the last seven years.

Still, Hickenlooper believes his stewardship has helped the state move in a stronger economic direction.

“I sit there and look back over the past four years (and) I think during all the significant issues, I think we made the right decisions,” he said.

Hickenlooper said this is “probably” his last political campaign and that he has “no intention” of running for national office.

Hickenlooper said he never imagined that he would be running a re-election campaign for governor while he was opening the Wynkoop Brewery in lower downtown Denver in 1988, Colorado’s first brewpub and microbrewery.

“If you would have talked to me even in 1998, I would have said, ‘No way.

Why would I do that? Those guys get attacked,’” he said of running for political office.

“Can you really make a difference? Is it really worth the sacrifice? Well, it turns out you really can make a difference. And in my opinion it was worth the sacrifice.”

shoot a game of pool with. This is about who can lead this state.”

Beauprez, who is pro-life, has also been on the defensive on women’s issues of late.

Although abortion and contraception topics have played a big role in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race, they only became a focal point in the campaign when Beauprez said during a Denver Post debate that intrauterine devices (IUDs) are abortifacients, meaning a drug that causes abortions.

Beauprez’s view is not backed by the Federal Drug Administration, which classifies the device as one that prevents pregnancies, not ends them.

Beauprez told Colorado Community Media that he believes women should use whatever birth control they want, “but I don’t think taxpayers ought to be funding that.”

Beauprez said that when Hickenlooper

and Democrats try to attack Republicans on issues like abortion and birth control, they are guilty of trying “to change the subject.”

“People are so hungry for people to address the real issues in this campaign, but (Democrats) don’t want to talk about it,” he said.

With voters set to receive mail ballots soon, it is hard for Beauprez or any other officeseeker to get away from politics. When he does, Beauprez likes to retreat to his bison ranch, time away that he said is “almost like therapy.”

When asked if there are similarities between bison ranching and politics, Beauprez let out a hearty chuckle and said, “Good question.”

“With bison you don’t change their minds much,” he said. “You kind of have to con

WHS students get college application boost

By Ashley Reimers

COLLEGE APPLICATION WEEKLY BREAKDOWN:

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Helping promote College Application Month, Lt. Governor Joe Garcia made a visit to Westminster High School to encourage seniors to send in their applications sooner, rather than later.

The Harvard Law School graduate and former Colorado State University — Pueblo president urged students to take their college applications seriously by not wasting any time as they prep for life after high school.

“Now is the time to start applying for colleges so you have many options to choose from,” he said. “Don’t wait until August to apply, do it now because by 2020, 74 percent of jobs will require some sort of post-secondary degree.”

College Application Month is sponsored by College in Colorado, which was initiated by the Department of Higher Education to promote access to, affordability of and success in higher education for all students.

Throughout the month of October, College in Colorado representatives will be traveling to over 20 high schools encouraging seniors to apply to college. The goal is to provide every graduating high school senior with the preparation and opportunity to apply to college, with the help of the resources on CollegeInColorado.org.

Executive Director Dawn Taylor Owens said many students aren’t aware or don’t understand how many steps it takes to apply for college. With the help of CollegeInColorado.org, students can see a step-by-step list of tasks needed to apply.

“A section of the website breaks down the process

WEEK 1- Narrow down college options and connect careers to a program or major.

WEEK 2- Prepare resume and requests for letters of recommendation.

WEEK 3- Write essays and personal statements.

WEEK 4- Apply for college

Lt. Governor Joe Garcia speaks to Westminster High School seniors on Oct. 1 for College Application Month. Garcia encouraged students to be prepared as they apply for college. Photo by Ashley Reimers into weekly tasks so students won’t feel as overwhelmed and burdened by the thought of applying for college,” she said. “We’re also reinforcing the message that a col-

lege education is no longer a luxury its, a necessity, so kids need to apply.”

The first step in the process is choosing a school.

Through CollegeInColorado.org, students can use a campus matching assistance tool which breaks down schools by a number of categories like distance from home and teacher-to-student ratio.

Owens said students can then compare schools sideby-side to find which college is the best fit.

Another tool offered through CollegeInColorado. org is applying for scholarships. According to Owens, $30,000 in scholarship money went un-used in Colorado last year simply because students didn’t apply. She wants student to realize that scholarships aren’t just based on merit and need.

“There scholarships out there for red heads, middle children and even left-handed kids,” she said. “Many organizations out there offer scholarships, kids just need to look for them and apply.”

Capitol dome reopens after long renovation Three-year project restores iconic structure

Five words that do not normally go together when talking about a government-backed project are: On time and under budget.

But that feat was what state officials were hailing on Oct. 2 as part of a ceremony to mark the reopening of the Capitol dome.

A three-year, $17 million restoration project was needed to fix and renovate a 120-year-old dome that has seen weather-caused deterioration over the years.

Gov. John Hickenlooper said the project’s success is “a symbol of the resilience of this state.”

“This is a gift we’re giving for generations in the future,” he said.

Colorado’s harsh freeze and thaw cycles made the repairs necessary. In 2006, corrosion to the dome caused a 10-pound piece of iron to fall, which led to the closing of the observation deck and the installation of a netting system.

Repairs commenced after lawmakers created a package of bipartisan bills four years ago to fund the restoration.

During much of the project, the dome was cloaked in

scrim and scaffolding. It wasn’t until early this year that part of the dome was revealed from under the draping.

Workers replaced the deteriorating metal fasteners with stainless steel. The original copper panels were replaced and the lightning protection system was enhanced, according to state architect Larry Friedberg.

The dome was re-gilded with 65 ounces of gold that came from parts of Colorado that included Cripple Creek and was later prepared in Florence, Italy.

“Today, the sun shines bright on this beautiful October day,” said state Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch.

The dome observation deck — which offers spectacular views of Denver — was reopened to the public shortly after the ceremony.

For visitors like Josiah and Hannah Goering of Chicago, the timing couldn’t have been more impeccable.

The two were visiting Colorado and specifically had a trip to the Capitol on their to-do list because Hannah’s grandparents had taken a picture of themselves on the Capitol steps during their honeymoon some 67 years ago.

“We came here to recreate the photo,” she said. “We even brought black and white film.”

Had their trip occurred a week earlier, they wouldn’t have been able to view Denver’s skyline from atop the Capitol.

“It’s a happy coincidence,” she said.

Horizon flies high

Football Roundup: Holy Family playing divine

By Scott Stocker HORIZON 31, MOUNTAIN RANGE 7 Horizon found itself with a pretty good challenge from Mountain Range last Friday. The Hawks only led 3-0 at the half on a 21-yard field goal by kicker Jayson Jones.

Horizon was able to fly higher in the third and fourth quarters as the Hawks scored a pair of touchdowns in each.

The Hawks improved to 2-4 with the victory while Mountain Range fell from the peaks to 1-5.

Quarterback Ayden Karracker only completed three-of-eight passes for Horizon for 58 yards. However, he was able to rush for 93 yards on 19 carries and to score two touchdowns.

Dominick Castiglione had a fine night with his ground game for Horizon as he rushed 20 times for 159 yards and scored a touchdown. Art Toledo would add another touchdown on the ground via a 17yard run.

The Bowman brothers, Dylan and Koy, would also fashion a solid night defensively for Horizon as they lead the Hawks in tackles with 11 and nine, respectively.

Damian Bell chipped in with eight stops and Gino Tate, seven, to help pace the defensive effort.

Elijah Gillespie scored the only touchdown for Mountain Range in the fourth quarter. He would finish the game with 88-yards on six carries. However, he wouldn’t be the top ground gainer for the Mustangs as Stephen Bailey would account 157 yards on 30 carries. It was just unfortunate for the Mustangs that he couldn’t reach the end zone.

Elijah Larry had two sacks for Horizon, Dylan Bowman had one and Koy Bowman had an interception while Tate had a fumble recovery.

Horizon plays Monarch (3-3) this Friday in their Front Range League encounter. Mountain Range has another high mountain to climb, facing unbeaten Fairview.

Holy Family 43, Berthoud 7 Holy Family’s Ryan Younggreen and Chris Helbig were able to come out with huge growls last Friday as they help claw the Tigers to an impressive, 43-7, victory

Mountain Range’s Stephen Bailey is pulled down by Horizon’s Damian Bell (51) in the Friday night game at 1st Bank Field in Westminster. The Hawks defeated the Mustangs by a score of 31-7 in the Front Range League matchup. Photos by Pam Wagner over Berthoud. Out of the den, though, all the Tigers have been clawing their opponents.

Younggreen, a 6-foot, one-inch, 175-pound senior, was certainly impressive on both sides of the football for Holy Family as the Tigers improved to 5-1 on the season. He scored four touchdowns on the ground, added a conversion run after a touchdown, caught a pass from Helbig and intercepted a Berthoud pass while on defense. When it was all over, he had accounted for 159 offensive yards.

Helbig was not to be denied, either.

He completed 17-of-26 pass for 315 yards that included a 72-yard touchdown to Joey Golter. Golter, who also had a fumble recovery on defense, only caught two passes, but they were good for a total 107 yards.

But the yardage didn’t conclude with this trio. Chanson Segeth also rushed for 104 yards and, not to be outdone in the touchdown department, Michael Zeman, added another.

Over on the defensive side of the ball, Cooper Hsin, Willy Clements and Ben Lovie had stellar nights, all with five or

more tackles. And, it hard to overlook a sack by Dominic Villano that cost Berthoud 15 yards as well at two more pass interceptions by Nick Marcello and Travis Montoya.

Holy Family plays Roosevelt on Oct. 10 and it should be a dandy. The Rough Riders have also compiled a 5-1 record and this game could well determine the league championship. Roosevelt defeated Frederick, 29-0 last Friday.

Berthoud plays Mead (3-3) on Friday and it won’t be an easy encounter, either.

Mead defeated Niwot, 46-6, last Friday.

DENVER SOUTH 54, STANDLEY LAKE 7 Standley Lake couldn’t find a way to put the bite on Denver South’s Trevonte Tasco as the Rebels carved the Gators for a 54-7 victory last Friday.

Tasco rushed 15 times for 242 yards and scored two touchdowns as South improved to 4-2 thus dropping the Gators to 2-4. Overall, the Rebels were able to rush for 386 yards behind the added efforts of Marcus Lindsay and Devonte Loggins.

Lindsay carried the ball 10 times for South for 70 yards and was able to score three touchdowns for the winners. Loggins added to the total as he scored a touchdown on his lone, 80-yard run. Also adding to the scoring column were Malcolm Wright and Esaias Gandy, who each caught a touchdown pass for the Rebels.

When it was over, South had accumulated 599-yards total offense.

The South defense came through with four sacks and a pair of pass interceptions by Devonte Loggins and Malcolm Wright. Aaron Knox also had a fumble recovery for the Rebels while Brodey Hoffman had one for Standley Lake.

The Gators just couldn’t get going on offense and could do little to stop Denver South on offense. Anthony Moore caught the Gators lone touchdown pass of 16-yards from Jacob Naranjo.

Naranjo was going forward and backwards through the game. He passed for 102 yards, but he lost 29 on the ground.

Defensively, Connor Durant had a pretty good game, leading the Gators with eight tackles.

NORTHGLENN 41, THORNTON 22 Horizon’s quarterback Ayden Karraker is upended by Mountain Range defenders (5) Alex Morales and (36) Ryan Abdulla in the Friday night game at 1st Bank Field in Westminster. Karraker rushed for a 93 yard and score and two touchdowns in the 31-7 win over Mountain Range.

It was a banner night for Thornton’s Adrian Kois when it came to his running game and it wasn’t that bad a game statistically for quarterback Judge Mueller.

But, the Trojans are still winless, falling

to 0-6.

However, the banners were not able to fly high for Thornton as a team as the Trojans were beaten by Northglenn, 41-22, last Friday. Kois rushed 25 times for 130 yards while his teammate Juray Thomas chipped in with 32-yards on nine carries.

Mueller completed 15-of-30 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns, but was also intercepted twice by the Norsemen. His touchdown passes were caught

by Ryan Akoto and Adrian Kois. Kois also rushed for touchdown.

Thornton was able to compile a total of 519 yards in the game, but the Trojans couldn’t come up with the big points when they needed them. Elijah Miscles and Charles Medina each came through with a pass interception.

Northglenn (2-4) travels to Prairie View (5-1) while Thornton will host Denver East on Friday in their 5A, Flatirons League game. Denver East is coming off a 41-10 victory against Boulder and the Angels are 5-1 on the season. The Norse did not send any statistics into the papers.

PRAIRIE VIEW 19, WESTMINSTER 9 Prairie View is flying high heading into the seventh week of football while Westminster needs to get its growl back.

Westminster scored first on a 10yard touchdown by Brandon Dickerson with 7-minutes to go in the first quarter. However, the point after would fail.

Then, with 3-minutes to go in the period, the Wolves Aaron Bettis kicks a 37-yard field goal making up for his missed extra point. Unfortunately for the Wolves, though, it would be their final points of the game.

With less than a minute to go in the first quarter, Prairie View’s Jessi Dunn would sprint 65-yards for the first Thunderhawks touchdown. They would take the lead for good in the second quarter scoring a touchdown, but missing on the extra point attempt.

Prairie Views RJ Ramirez would end the scoring for the game when he hit the end zone with a five-yard run with a minute to go in the third quarter. With the victory, the Thunderhawks improved to 5-1 while Westminster dropped to 3-3.

Prairie View hosts Northglenn on Friday while Westminster will play Montbello in their Flatirons League game.

Montbello comes in with a 0-6 record after losing to Brighton, 28-13.

The Academy takes opponent to school

By Scott Stocker There’s nothing like a quick start and a quick finish to fashion a fine victory in any sport.

That certainly was the case last Saturday for The Academy’s Devan Caswell, as the home standing Wildcats defeated Sheridan, 47-21, in their Class 2A, Frontier League encounter played at Mountain Range High School in Westminster.

Caswell scored The Academy’s first touchdown on the Wildcats first offensive play of the game on a 66-yard run with 8-minutes, 13 seconds left in the first quarter. He then scored the last touchdown for the Wildcats on a 40-yard run with 56 seconds remaining in the game.

There was little doubt that Caswell capped a fine Homecoming game for The Academy and had the fans loudly cheering.

He finished the game rushing for 328-yards on only nine carries.

“It turned out to be a great game for us,” Caswell said. “It was just a big night, especially with homecoming and everything.

Our offense was on track right from the start and we pushed well. We just went out and finished the job. But I’ll certainly credit my blockers for giving me the running room.”

Caswell’s touchdown wasn’t the longest of the game for The Academy. In this case, the longest run of the game belongs to his teammate, Jonny Marquez, a 97-yard run with 1:29 left in the third quarter.

The Marquez score was especially meaningful, for it’s timing. Sheridan was driving for what could have been a touchdown for the Rams. However, the Ram’s quarterback Donovan Contreraz had his pass intercepted at The Academy three-yard line by Marcos Madrid. The next play, Marquez was off and running.

Joel Franco, The Academy quarterback, was more than pleased with the outcome.

“We had a good week of practice and we just couldn’t let everything with Homecoming get the best of us,” Franco said. “I think we all performed well. The key was just doing our job and setting a tone. There are a lot of things that can take your mind off a game, like Homecoming. We were able to get over it.”

It was a night in which The Academy coach, Mike Ray, might have worried about with all the festivities at school.

“The kids just stepped up on a big night,” Ray said. “It would be nice to see more like this one. Devan had a fine night as did Joel with the ball. We just had some big offensive moments, but also did well on defense.

Billy Mays was very strong defensively for us and was a leader on the field. I’m just pleased with the way to boys put out, especially on our Homecoming night.”

“Of course there are still a lot of things to work on,” Ray continued. “But I’m so pleased with the way the boys have come on lately.”

Mays was certainly pleased with the way the defense handled its chores. The defense also came up with a touchdown via a 22yard interception by Zach Morgan with 7:47 remaining in the second quarter to help give the Wildcats a 14-0 lead.

“We were just more aggressive on defense tonight,” Mays said. “We just wanted to stay in tune with what we were trying to accomplish. We’re driving hard and I was able to get inside and get the tackles. Yet, it was a fine night for all of us.”

Sheridan also made use of the long route on its first touchdown of the game, a 75yard pass from quarterback Donovan Contreraz to wide receiver Rafael Saucedo with only :07-seconds left in the first half. Contreraz would complete 16-of-39 passes for the Rams for 252 yards and a pair of touchdowns. However, three interceptions would spoil his overall effort.

Sheridan coach, Johnny Martinez, and Ram’s running back Jesse Delgado, wished it could have been a better night.

“I’m not going to take anything away from them,” Martinez said. “We didn’t play like we are capable tonight and we just couldn’t get the job done. The boys have been trying there best and that’s what I want to see from them.”

Delgado just hopes he can rebound from an injury as well as seeing his teammates rebound on the field.

“I think I’ve got a torn ligament or at least an injured ligament in left leg,” said Delgado, who rushed for 53 yards on nine carries. “We came to play, but we got started to play too late. We had some good moments, but we needed to have a few more.

They just gave us a good game. I just hope we can make everything work out well.”

The Academy plays at Strasburg, Oct. 10, at 7 p.m. while Sheridan will host Jefferson, Oct. 11, at 1 p.m.

The Academy’s senior running back, Devan Caswell (4), falls forward while being tackled by Sheridan”s Daniel Martinez (5) and Jesse Delgado (34). Caswell ran the ball nine times for a total of 328 rushing yards and four touchdowns during the 47-21 win over Sheridan High School on Saturday at 1st Bank Field in Westminster. Photo by Pam Wagner

Attack ads flood Colorado airwaves Big-money interests not always clear

By Katie Kuntz

Rocky Mountain PBS I-News Campaign attack ads dominating television airwaves across the state depict Colorado’s senatorial candidates as extreme, harmful and woefully out of step with their fellow Coloradans.

Crossroads GPS — a conservative political action committee headed by former George W. Bush administrator Karl Rove — and the National Republican Senatorial Committee portray U.S. Sen. Mark Udall as a hapless sycophant of President Obama’s. Their ads assert that Udall’s clueless support of the Affordable Care Act — known as Obamacare — has harmed Coloradans one and all.

Liberal groups like the Senate Majority PAC and Next Generation Climate Udall Action depict Udall’s opponent, Colorado Republican Congressman Cory Gardner, as a grimfaced misogynist, whose views on issues important to women are medieval, at best.

The Udall-Gardner contest, not incidentally, is one of the races expected to determine which party controls the U.S. Senate after the Nov. 4 election. So far, the outside groups have spent almost three times as much as the candidates themselves.

“If you run around the country there are maybe 10 states that have really competitive races and Republicans need to win six Senate seats to win the Senate — Colorado is very competitive,” said political analyst Floyd Ciruli. “It’s not quite a Super Bowl, that’d be the presidential race — but we’re in a very major, close playoff.”

And it may come as no surprise that millions are being spent by outside organizations to paint the two Colorado candidates into very dark corners. But what might be surprising is comparing those funding the negative attacks with what their primary

interests truly are.

Tricks of the trade

A Rocky Mountain PBS I-News analysis of Federal Communications Commission and Federal Election Commission data, as well as reports collected by the Center for Responsive Politics, demonstrate how the playbook works.

First, use polarizing issues to ignite voters.

Thomas Steyer, a California billionaire who has drawn attention for his philanthropy and activism for environmental causes, has mastered this first play.

Steyer is the lead financial backer for Next Generation Climate Action, which has so far spent more than $1 million in this state’s largest television markets, Denver and Colorado Springs.

Two of the most widely aired ads from Steyer’s organization — named “Keep Out” and “Not Extreme?”

— assail Gardner for his Gardner positions against birth control and abortion and same-sex marriage, all of which are highly polarizing issues.

But Next Generation Climate Action does not, as an organization, list any interest in policies related to abortion, marriage equality or birth control. To be fair, the ads do briefly mention climate change, scoffing that Gardner “thinks he knows better than the scientists, NASA and the U.S. military on climate change.”

“It is a straight-out brawling competition,” Ciruli said. “The people who play it may be personally idealistic, but in the way they play the game they are totally realists, and research shows them that climate change is not nearly as effective at moving voters as things like reproductive rights.”

Similarly, other groups whose primary interests are oil and gas development or the energy business attack Udall’s support of the Affordable Care Act. While their true concern might be approval for the Keystone pipeline, as an example, they’re

betting that Obamacare is still such a negatively charged issue that it can help sink the environmentally minded Udall.

Sometimes they might mention energy issues, but not as a primary focus.

The second power play works by cloaking one’s self-interests in charitable or nonprofit political giving, as modern masters Sheldon Adelson and David and Charles Koch have demonstrated.

Adelson and his wife, Miriam, donated $23 million during the 2012 presidential cycle to Crossroads GPS on behalf of the nonprofit Adelson Drug Clinic and Adelson’s corporation, Las Vegas Sands, according to files from the Federal Election Commission.

Sheldon Adelson, listed as the world’s eighth wealthiest man by Forbes, with a net worth of more than $31 billion, has drawn wide attention to his heavy contributions to campaign finance. He has also been litigating a federal lawsuit aimed at his overseas casinos.

Similarly, David and Charles Koch have been intimately linked with Americans for Prosperity, Freedom Partners and Crossroads GPS in the past, but their contributions this cycle are not known.

“Nonprofit political groups do not have to disclose donors,” said Viveka Novak, editorial and communications director for the Center for Responsive Politics. “So we could only identify organizations that filed 990s (nonprofit tax forms) and that wouldn’t include individuals or corporations, so there are still a lot of donors or donations no one would know about.”

Adelson, the Koch brothers and many other politically active billionaires and multimillionaires across the political spectrum are able to maintain privacy and give endless funds following the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision, which held that political spending is a form of protected speech under the First Amendment.

Donors work both sides

There’s still another trick in the playbook, and that’s playing both sides. By contributing to competing candidates, it can be hard to lose, the reasoning goes.

Hedge funds and international investment banks are among the leading campaign contributors in the United States — and they donate in almost equal amounts to both Democratic and Republican committees.

Consider Renaissance Technologies, a New York hedge fund that in 2013 managed an estimated $25 billion.

This year, founder and retired CEO James H. Simons was ranked by Forbes among the world’s wealthiest people at $12.5 billion. Of the millions of dollars Simons and the current CEO of Renaissance, Robert Mercer, have donated to campaign groups so far this year, about $3 million went to liberal organizations, and $3 million went to conservatives.

“This firm, it’s got money everywhere, it’s invested in things that could benefit from both parties,” Ciruli said. “Some of it could just be personal, but often it is driven by a strategy that just makes sense.”

This company’s lobbying records in 2014 show that its primary focus is to avoid higher tax rates for hedge funds — an issue almost totally ignored in the majority of Colorado’s campaign ads. In fact, of more than 30 ads reviewed by I-News and truthtested by 9News, only one ad even briefly mentioned “tax rates for companies overseas.”

The Blackstone Group is also a top hedge fund contributor to both the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

These committees have already spent $3.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, on campaign ads in Denver, bashing either Gardner or Udall.

“TV ads are number one, the overwhelming most important tool in winning one of these campaigns,” Ciruli said. “If Channel 9 has another minute (for advertising), you can bet it will get bought.”
