After hearing the news on the drive into her Westminster office Oct. 6, Rebecca Brinkman raced to her desk to hurriedly type an email. “Will you still marry me?” She had asked the question before to the love of her life over the course of their 35 years together, but harbored little hope a wedding could ever happen. “I never thought we would see marriage in our lifetime,” said the smiling 63-year-old Thornton resident, looking at her fiancée two days later. But because of a legal domino effect started by the U.S. Supreme

Rebecca Brinkman and Margaret Burd stand outside their Thornton home Oct. 8. The women were the first to file a lawsuit in the state challenging the ban on same gender marriages. Photo by Tammy Kranz Court last week, Brinkman and Margaret Burd, along with other gay couples in Colorado, can now legally marry. Brinkman and Burd were the first to file a lawsuit in

the state challenging the ban on same-gender marriages. Brinkman and Burd met in 1976 when they were teachers in Kansas City, Mo. — Brinkman

taught health and physical education and Burd taught math. “In 1979 we declared we were a couple and committed to each other,” Brinkman said. They bought each other rings, but did not tell the jeweler the significance. “It was so closeted back then,” Burd, 62, said. Meanwhile, the women continued with their education. Brinkman earned a master’s of science degree in education in 1979 and graduated from Cleveland College of Chiropractic in 1986. Burg received her master’s degree in computer science. In 1985, the couple moved to Broomfield after Burg landed a job with AT&T Bell Lab. Brinkman opened Sheridan Park Chiropractic Center in 1986. They relocated in 1991 to Thornton. These days, Brinkman is partially retired, having sold her practice, and Burd is the CEO and Wedding continues on Page 7

Jeffco students rally to gauge recall support By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com In support of change, more than 150 students, parents and community members gathered Oct. 11 at Clement Park, 7306 W. Bowles Ave., Littleton. The rally was organized by a group of more than 40 student leaders behind the “Jeffco Students for Change”, “Jeffco Stand Up” and “Jeffco Student Network for Change” Facebook pages to gauge public opinion and inform attendees of the recent actions taken by the board. “What we’re looking for is our next step,” said Thomas Sizemore, a junior at Lakewood

High School. “The rally is a way to get everyone to hear the same message.” A mix of speeches and music, the event’s message sought change, and called upon community members to stand up in support of a change, and if interested, to stand behind a possible recall of the conservative majority on the Jefferson County Board of Education, Julie Williams, John Newkirk and Ken Witt. “I know a recall takes a lot of work and a lot of money, but I’m confident it can happen,” said Chalen Gordon-McGlone, a senior at Evergreen High School in his speech. “We have to work together.” While a recall effort has not been mobilized as of now, students asked community members to sign up if interested in learning more,

to gauge whether there was support for the action. “We are still very apprehensive about a recall,” Sizemore said. “It’s definitely a huge step, and it’s something we don’t want to go into easily.” While the rally had a smaller than expected turnout, support for change and for the students was seen from a variety of sources, including merchandise selling, and stops from a few political candidates, Andy Kerr, Jane Goff and Mary Parker, who had signs and tables placed to one side of the rally. “I was very interested in the students and Jeffco continues on Page 5

New chamber CEO focused on growth By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Just talking about the opportunity help a business grow can bring tears to Angela Habben’s eyes, the new Metro North Chamber of Commerce CEO. She admits she’s somewhat emotional about the topic, but to her it’s her passion for people that shines through. “I love people, and I love to hear their stories,” she said. “I enjoy getting to know people and finding out what their business needs are. It really excites me to be part of helping a business grow and succeed. It’s just my passion.” Habben’s first day on the job was Sept. 29, replacing Deborah Obermeyer who

resigned in May. She comes from Vectra Bank and has 36 years under her belt in the banking industry. She moved to the north metro area in 1983 and over the years she’s met and worked with various people and business owners. But now she’s taking on a new role, one that’s challenging her to learn even more about her commu- Habben nity. “You think you know the community well until you step into a position like this one,” Habben said. “But that’s what’s exciting — I get to meet more businesses and more people and learn how I can help them from the chamber’s perspective.” Habben’s first project as CEO is devel-

oping and implementing a growth plan for the chamber. She will be presenting her plan it the coming weeks to the chamber board. She says she doesn’t have the specifics of the plan just yet, but will be focusing on how the chamber can add more value to memberships. On a personal growth level, Habben is taking the time to familiarize herself to the duties of the Business and Government Affairs committee, which plays an active role in advocating on behalf of the communities and businesses in the Metro North region at the state legislature. Habben said in the banking world she didn’t get involved in state legislation much, so this particular avenue is a new one. “Working with the committee is going to be interesting for me and will also be a learning curve as I learn about the dif-

ferent topics they talk about,” she said. “I have met with our lobbyist, so this is where a lot of my growth will be. I’ll be paying attention to different bills and learning what affects our members.” When Habben’s not out meeting with business owners, she enjoys cooking, entertaining and decorating. She also loves to travel back to Iowa, her home state. She is married, has two daughters and will soon be a grandmother. Habben wasn’t actively looking for new career path, the open CEO position just came at the right time. “I was thinking about something new and when I interviewed for the position I realized it would be an exciting way for me to continue to build relationships with businesses,” she said. “It was meant to be.”

Adams County judge’s ruling on gay marriage becomes law By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com Rebecca Brinkman and Margaret Burd of Thornton filed the first lawsuit in the state challenging the ban on same-gender marriage. They filed the suit nearly a year ago, right after the Adams County Clerk and Recorder office denied their application for a marriage license. The lawsuit said the ban on gay marriages violated the federal Civil Rights Act of 1871. “The ban on same gender marriages violates the equal protection clause and the due process clause of the 14th Amendment,” said Ralph Ogden, the attorney who represented Brinkman and Burd. Although state lawmakers passed a law last year to allow civil unions, Ogden argued it was not the same as marriage. For starters, he said, the federal government

doesn’t recognize civil unions so those partners don’t have the same benefits as married couples. Also, he added, “A civil union does not equal the dignity in a marriage.” Brinkman and Burd said they were not interested in pursuing a ballot question in 2016 to change the state constitution about gay marriage. “Civil rights should not be up for popular vote,” Brinkman said. Instead, they hired Ogden to argue their case. Their lawsuit was consolidated with a similar lawsuit filed by eight other couples in Denver and was heard by Adams County District Court Judge Scott Crabtree. In July, Crabtree ruled in favor of the couples, declaring Colorado’s ban on gay marriage to be unconstitutional. However, he stayed his ruling until the higher courts could weigh in on the issue. The highest court of the land essentially did just that on Oct. 6. The U.S. Supreme Court decided to not review cases regarding gay marriages, which upheld lower

courts decisions allowing gay couples to marry in Utah, Oklahoma, Virginia, Indiana and Wisconsin. The court’s decision prompted Colorado Attorney General John Suthers to remove any obstacles that prevented gay marriage in the state, including lifting the stay on Crabtree’s ruling. “That means Judge Crabtree’s ruling became law in Colorado,” Ogden said. In a statement last week, Suthers said the state’s 64 county clerks were legally required to issue licenses to same-sex couples. “There are no remaining legal requirements that prevent same-sex couples from legally marrying in Colorado,” he said. The legal domino effect last week means that gay marriage is allowed in 30 states. “We’re very happy Attorney General John Suthers is clearing the way for marriage equality in the state and we’re happy for the couples who can marry,” said Rex Fuller, director of communications with the GLBT Community Center of Colorado.

While this was a good step, he added that it would be nice if all couples across the nation could have this right. Brinkman shares Fuller’s sentiment. “In my heart of hearts, I wish the Supreme Court would have ruled,” she said. “It leaves out people in the Midwest and South.” However, Ogden feels the highest court has made it clear what would happen if a case does reach them and they had to rule. “My belief is a 5-4 vote in favor of striking the (marriage) bans,” he said. “I think the Supreme Court has spoken.” Ogden said he’s tried 20 to 30 civil rights cases in his career, but this case means the most to him. “This is the victory I’m most proud of,” he said. “I have a lot of gay friends. I have a gay son. It means tens of thousands of people in Colorado and a rapidly increasing number of states can have the same dignified relationship as my wife and I have. And it undoes a great injustice.”

Family learns lifesaving lesson By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com It was a close call for one Westminster family. Around 3:30 a.m. on Sept. 12, June Serna was woken up by her 8-year-old daughter who was gagging. She covered her daughter, who has Down Syndrome, with a blanker and went back to bed. An hour later , Serna was woken up a second time by her young daughter. “I thought she was cold, so I went downstairs to check my furnace,” she said. “That’s when I smelled the gas.” On her way back from the basement, Serna’s second daughter, Janessa Ortega, 14, came out of her room complaining

of a headache and vomiting. Serna knew something wasn’t right, so she called the Westminster non-emergency number and took her kids outside. Upon arrival, Westminster firefighters entered the house with a carbon monoxide detector. Immediately the alarm sounded and the family was taken to the ambulance, given oxygen and transferred to St. Anthony’s North Hospital. Firefighters discovered the HVAC exhaust was disconnected from the furnace causing carbon monoxide to permeate throughout the home. “It was really scary because we never really knew it was carbon monoxide,” Serna said. “When we got out of the hospital I went and got carbon monoxide detectors.” While the family was being treated, firefighters shut down the furnace and venti-

WESTMINSTER NEWS IN A HURRY Applications due for emergency home repair program

The City of Westminster provides federal Community Development Block Grant funds for an Emergency and Essential Home Repair Program, which is intended to assist owner-occupied, low-income households in making repairs deemed essential to preserving the health, safety and welfare of the home’s occupants. Up to $5,000 in eligible home repairs can be made free of charge to income-qualified households located within Westminster city limits, within both the Adams County and Jefferson County portions of the city. Funding is limited and applications are only accepted while funds are available. The city’s program is administered by the Jefferson County Housing Authority. Eligible repairs may include, but are not limited to: plumbing, carpentry, electrical, furnace and hot water heater repair or replacement, accessibility improvements, etc. To obtain a program application or for further information, contact Jefferson County Housing Authority at 303-403-5423 or visit www.jcha.org/rehabilitation-program.html.

lated the home. An incident like this one is not uncommon in Westminster. Bob Hose, fire marshal, said there have been 24 carbon monoxide incidents since the beginning of the year. These incidents aren’t just calls with carbon monoxide alarms going off, but incidents where carbon monoxide levels have been detected. “People think issues with carbon monoxide only happen during the winter time when people are using their furnaces, but that’s not the case,” Hose said. “It can happen anytime. Even when people start their car in a closed garage, carbon monoxide fumes can get in the house.” Homes don’t necessarily come with carbon monoxide detectors. Hose recommends that people purchase the detectors and place them near sleeping areas be-

cause people are more susceptible to carbon monoxide poisoning while they sleep. “A lot of people put their detectors near the furnace, which is usually in the basement or in an enclosed room,” he said. “But if the alarm goes off, people may not be able to hear the alarm, so it’s important to have the detectors near the bedrooms.” Hose also recommends installing the detectors when the house is filled with fresh air and to continue to check the batteries or life of the detector on a regular basis. For Serna and Ortega, they can sleep soundly knowing they’ve made the steps to stay safe. “You never know when something like this is going to happen,” Ortega said. “We never thought this would happen. But now it proves it can happen to anybody.”

Court won’t hear appeal on Martinez residency By Tammy Kranz tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com The Colorado Supreme Court decided not to hear a case against Cynthia Martinez, Democratic candidate for Adams County clerk and recorder, which questioned her residency and eligibility to run for office. Her opponent, Republican Stan Martin, filed a petition against her, claiming she does not live in her Brighton home that she has owned since 2006, but that she lives with her family in their Lafayette home. “Adams County deserves to be represented by one of their own, someone who lives in Adams County, not Boulder County,” he said. Martin challenged Martinez’s residency and eligibility to run for an Adams County

office, and also named Clerk and Recorder Karen Long in the petition, saying she breached her duty by printing Martinez’s name on the ballot. The Adams County District Court denied the petition on Sept., 16, stating Martin did not meet his burden of proof to show, by the preponderance of the evidence, that Martinez is not a residence. However, the court also stated the totality of the evidence is equivocal. “The judge did not say she was a resident of Adams County,” Martin said, adding the judge only said there was not enough evidence to prove she wasn’t. Martin appealed the ruling, asking the Supreme Court for an expedited review because of the nearing Election Day. He thinks the court may have rejected the appeal because of the expedited request. “It’s possible they could hear it if we re-

apply for it, but we haven’t made a decision on that,” Martin said. Martinez called the issue silly, saying she has been attacked about her residency before when she ran for mayor of Brighton. “This is my town,” she said, “this is where I belong and I love my job.” Her family moved out of their Lafayette home in 2006 to live in Brighton so Martinez could be closer to her business, she said. She ran a performing arts company and was elected as Ward 2 councilwoman for Brighton City Council in 2007 and again in 2011. They rented out their Lafayette home until three years ago when her husband moved back with their daughters when the eldest started attending Holy Family School, she said. “It was a family decision, and it works for us,” Martinez said. “The kids needed

to be close to school. I live in the Brighton residence with my mom and have for a long time.” Martin is not convinced of her Brighton residency. Many documents were not provided by Martinez and she did not attend the hearing, he said. “We believe the most important documents that needed to show up in court and was subpoena was her tax record,” Martin said. “The fact the documents didn’t show up and she didn’t show up, I think that’s 100-percent telling. He called her absence disrespectful to the judicial process. “I wasn’t there because they didn’t serve me,” Martinez said, adding she stayed close to her home. “I was never served. They served it in Lafayette, but I was in Brighton. I waited for a subpoena here and got nothing.”

Book looks at the history of the Westminster Fire Department By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Growing up, Jeff Heineman didn’t realize his time spent in the Westminster Fire Department as a youngster would be put to good use later in life. “My dad was a volunteer Westminster firefighter, so as a kid I would ride with him to the station or to the calls,” he said. “I was at the station a lot, absorbing information I didn’t know I would be using down the road.” Fast forward to the present, the now Westy firefighter is the published author of Westminster Fire Department 1934-2014, 80 Years of Service. He utilized the experiences he had as a youngster as part of his research in creating the history book. But that was just part of the process. Heineman, who’s been with the depart-

president of Magpie — a custom software design and development firm she founded in 2001. They share their spacious home with two cats they found as strays — Scout and Idgie, named, respectively, after literary characters in “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “Fried Green Tomatoes.” Marriage did not seem likely, but last year’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Windsor gave them a spark of hope. In that case, the court ruled unconstitutional a ban on federal benefits for gay couples. “At that point I thought there would be a change in the country,” Brinkman said. They discussed with an attorney the possibility of litigation if the Adams County Clerk and Recorder denied them marriage license. “We discussed it multiple times,” Burd said. The indecisiveness stemmed from an experience in the early 1990s when they openly fought against proposed Amendment 2 that would prevent any city, town or county from recognizing gay people as a protected class. Brinkman and Burd walked door-to-door to encourage opposition the amendment; however, they found little support.

ment since 1992, dedicated eight years to piecing together the story of the Westminster Fire Department. He read the minutes of past board meetings, sifted through boxes and boxes of photos and other documentation and conducted countless inperson interviews with past and present firefighters and chiefs. “I even went as far as listing the hire dates of every single firefighter in the department,” he said. “But what the biggest chore was getting a photo of each current firefighter. That was tough. And now we’ve hired four more since the book came out, so it’s already outdated. But that’s the way history goes. It changes.” Heineman’s book is a chronological view of the department starting with a brief history of the city of Westminster and why the department was created touching on the many changes of the department of the years. One section of the book is dedicated

“People were openly hostile,” Brinkman said. “Wishing us death, that’s how hostile,” Burd added. “It was scary.” Colorado voters approved the amendment 53 percent to 47 percent only to have it ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1996. Despite concerns, the couple filed a lawsuit against Adams County Clerk and Recorder Karen Long on Oct. 31, after the office denied their application for a marriage license. This time, the women found supporters. Some people seemed surprised gay people could not marry already, Brinkman said. “They didn’t know civil union wasn’t the same,” Burd said. State lawmakers passed a bill last year allowing civil unions. However, the federal government doesn’t recognize these unions so those couples don’t have the same rights and benefits as married couples. After decades of waiting for marriage equality, the past week’s events have been a whirlwind. Most importantly, though, Burd’s answer to Brinkman’s question was an enthusiastic “Yes!” The couple has not yet set a wedding date. But that’s OK. They want to take their time and plan something special. “I don’t want to get married just because I can,” Brinkman said. “I want it to mean something.”

OPINION

October 16, 2014

O U R S

Re-elect Hansen, add O’Dorisio We are pleased with an impressive collection of candidates running for Adams County board of commissioners, which is expanding to five seats. The winners of three seats will join incumbent Democrats Eva Henry, District 1, and Charles “Char” Tedesco, District 2. We wholeheartedly endorse incumbent Erik Hansen in District 3. Republican Hansen came up through the ranks on Thornton City Council and served as mayor of the city before coming to the county board. He appreciates the big picture but sweats the details, page by page, number by number. He was one to always go beyond the executive summary in his time at the City of Thornton, and when he came to the county he targeted reform and aimed for best practices, encouraging all departments to add emphasis to ethics. As the county board of commissioners

OUR VIEW

increases five members, Hansen’s leadership is key. Further we give the nod to Steve O’Dorisio in District 4 and Wilma Rose in District 5. O’Dorisio is an attorney with a mix of experience in the private and public sector, including Adams County 17th Judicial District. We appreciate his energy and the county background he brings to the mix. In District 5, Jan Pawlowski comes with strong experience as councilwoman and mayor of Brighton in District 5. However, Wilma Rose comes with extensive experience as a councilwoman and serving on many boards.

This is a tough call but we give a very slight edge to Rose as her desire to shape the county’s future seems stronger. We must say all candidates are road tested and able, but of all the commissioner races, the most important vote is to make sure to keep Erik Hansen in office to help lead this new group of five. We expect the board to become more dynamic and broaden its influence regionally as Adams County moves forward. In other races, we give the nod to Michael McIntosh for county sheriff. We appreciate his calm measured approach, and he has a good mix in past experience. For county clerk and recorder, we give the nod to Stan Martin. For assessor, John Schaul simply has the best skills that match the job. For coroner, we support returning incumbent Monica Broncucia-Jordan to the job, as well as treasurer Brigitte Grimm.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Worried about Ebola?

We asked passersby if they were concerned about an Ebola outbreak, here in the U.S.

‘I’m not because I’m from Canada.’ Peter Whitteker, Vancouver, Canada

‘No, I think the media tends to scare people, there’s a lot of information out there and it would be pretty easy to get sick if you tried but personally I’m not worried about it myself.’ Diana Donus, Denver

‘Yes, slightly because it’s here in the mainland ... and it can spread so easily.’ Jeannie Hearne, Bloomington, Indiana

‘You think about all of these military folks that are exposed and then we’re going to bring three or four hundred of them back at a time and send them all out — I just think that we shouldn’t be there. We shouldn’t have our military exposed to those situations right now.’ Brian Hearne, Bloomington, Indiana

What a senatorial shock

What a surprise it was last week to read the editorial in the Denver Post endorsing Corey Gardner for U.S. Senate, over his opponent Mark Udall. I’m a big fan of Mark but I do think he was dwelling too much on women’s issues and not enough on economic and local government issues. Although he still has a few weeks to turn the tide, it’s going to be tough going. Yes, I’m a Democrat, but I’m for Mark because he’s an honorable man and in today’s rough and tumble mean political world there aren’t enough Udalls.

One down

One endorsement that meant worth mentioning was the Denver Post article on Don Quick for Colorado Attorney General. He helped set the compass for youth programs in Adams County.

Closer to home

It’s time to focus on school district issues. Mapleton, District 12 and District 50 all have bond or mill levy issues. It’s always tough to vote for tax increases but we must support our schools because so much is at stake. Maintaining a good educational system is a must. Yes, it does cost some money but it’s an investment in our future. These students will be our leaders and our bread winners in the near future. Having said this, I urge you to bite the bullet and give those districts the modest financial means to further the educational goals of our students.

On a happy note

Halloween will soon be upon us and here’s a little joke to share with you. Tricks and Treats! A cab driver picks up a nun. She gets into the cab and the cab driver won’t stop staring at her.

She asks him why he is staring. She answers, “My son, you cannot offend me. When you’re as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I’m sure that there’s nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.” “Well, I’ve always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.” She responds, “Well, let’s see what we can do about that. But first, you have to be single and you must be Catholic.” The cab driver is very excited and says, “Yes, I’m single and Catholic!” “OK” the nun says. “Pull off to the side of the road, maybe we will see what we can do.” The nun plants a whopper of a kiss on the cabbie! But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying. “My dear child,” said the nun, “why are you crying?” “Forgive me but I’ve sinned. I lied. I must confess I’m married and I’m Jewish.” The nun says, “That’s OK, my name is Kevin and I’m going to a Halloween party.” Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned... Vi June is past Democratic state representative for House District 35. She is a former mayor of Westminster and a former newspaper publisher. A Westminster resident for more than four decades, she has five grown children and eight grandchildren.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Go with Udall

Cory Gardner contends President Obama should approve the KXL pipeline and that Gardner’s opponent, Sen. Mark Udall, should urge approval — to create jobs and bolster the economy. However, Canada’s National Energy Board anticipates 15 Mid-western states will experience a 10 to 20 cent/gallon increase in gasoline prices if KXL is built. It would happen because an oversupply of Canadian crude now refined for US domestic use will be diverted to KXL for export. It’ll give Koch & other oil producers (i.e., dark money supporters of Gardner) up to $5 billion/year in additional revenue, adding that to fuel bills — creating a drag on our economy, not a boost. KXL will produce 5,060 to 9,250 full-time equivalent, temporary, non-local jobs (none in Colorado) over the two-year construction phase, as calculated by Cornell University’s Global Labor Institute. That’s fewer than the exaggerated 20,000-119,000 jobs claimed by big oil. Other long-term costs of KXL compel opposition. Burning fossil fuel carried in the

pipeline produces carbon dioxide. KXL will carry enough tar sands oil to raise Earth’s CO2 level by 200 parts per million (ppm). Science Academies of the G8 and five other nations support the consensus view that excess CO2 is warming our planet. So do Eighteen American scientific organizations. CO2 is at its highest level in the last 800,000 years (400+ ppm). An increase in the Earth’s temperature causes climate change, bringing many negative effects ignored by industry-consultant environmental reports. Excess CO2 resulting from KXL will increase temperatures, harming agriculture. Scientists note a 10-17 percent decline in wheat, corn, soybean, and rice yields for every 1°C temperature rise during growing periods. As temperatures rise our ability to raise food diminishes, overwhelming any beneficial effect excess CO2 has on some plants. KXL’s adverse impacts obliterate its benefits. Please support someone who know that, Mark Udall. Russ Doty Greeley

Westminster Window 9

Adams 50 school needs are basic Adams 50 School District is putting its needs on the line and those of us who live in the school district are being asked to respond favorably. Voters will be deciding whether to authorize a $20 million bond issue and a mill levy override of $2.5 million to shoreup needed operating revenue. There are no frills in either package. Capital needs to be address in part include completing much needed air-conditioning for the remaining five elementary schools and security improvements to mention a couple of key improvements in the bond package. Unfortunately, security measures are paramount in today’s society. Two important areas included in the mill levy increase are upgrading and expanding vocational training and expanding the STEM program. These are essential areas which warrant funding to address student needs and opportunities. The vocational training endeavor is especially needed to equip those students who may not be going to college. They deserve a “running start” at career opportunities such as electrician, plumbing, auto mechanics and food service.

Reinstating operating revenue

The school district was forced to cut 61 full-time equivalent positions (mostly teachers) this past fall after voters rejected a $5.25 million tax increase. Failure to reinstate the $2.5 Million would be further detrimental to student needs. Also, let’s remember that healthy, progressive schools help our property values. I am voting for both ballot issues and hope you will do likewise. I wish to disclose that I am a member of the “Our Schools ... Our Community” campaign group as well as serving on the school district’s Fiscal Oversight Committee which recommended approval.

Time for voters to speak

Ballots for the Nov. 4 election should have arrived or soon will be at everyone’s residence. Now, the important part is up to us the voters. Obviously, we are selecting a U.S. Senator for the next six years, a U.S. Congressional Representative, the governor, state senators and representatives, county commissioners, other county positions along with deciding state and local ballot issues. Every Adams County school district is seeking financial support either via a mill levy override, bond issue or both. Each decision, both candidate and ballot issue, has

its own ramifications. Will the U.S. Congress remain divided with the Democrats controlling the Senate and the Republicans having a majority in the House of Representatives? Will our state Legislature and Governor’s Office remain under the control of the Democrats or will there be a more balanced outcome? The Board of Adams County commissioners will have 5 elected members for the first time in history. How will that leadership shake out?

U.S. senate race is ‘the’ race

There is a huge race in Colorado to be decided. It is the U.S. Senate seat race between Mark Udall and Cory Gardner. This race is Numero Uno across America. The outcome could be the decisive factor in the control of the U.S. Senate. The Denver Post’s endorsement of Gardner was quite a pleasant surprise given the Post’s liberal leanings. While I have issues with both candidates, I believe it is time to make a change. Sen. Udall has drifted during his tenure in Congress from being somewhat left of center politically speaking to hard core liberal. The TV ad about his voting pattern of supporting President Obama 99-percent of the time may or may not be factual. However, he has clearly supported too many key issues aligned with the president which has caused me and other unaffiliated voters to lose faith in his decision-making. Each issue should stand or fall on its own merits and not be tied to either political party. We are overdue to have our elected congressional members get back to representing the public’s interest rather than always appeasing the president or being lock step with “the party.” Remember, it is the people that elects the senator and in turn is expected to represent the people; not the president. Yes, it is “time to shake-up the Senate” as Gardner’s TV ads state. Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

Area theater mainstay will be missed Performance Now visits ‘Putnam County’ By Clarke Reader

creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Students in spelling bees face a lot of pressure — from parents, the audience and the peers. Performance Now Theatre Company is bringing that very real, and very funny, experience to the stage in “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” The show runs at the newly-renovated Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway, through Oct. 19. Show times are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. “Putnam County,” conceived by Rebecca Feldman and Jay Reiss, tells the story of an eclectic group of middle school competitors in the race for a spot in a national spelling bee. They tell alternatively hilarious and heartfelt stories about the road to the competition, all the while trying to spell their way to the top. “In addition to the spellers there are judges and a comfort counselor for the students who don’t make the cut,” said choreographer and director Kelly Van Oosbree. “We also get the audience in on it as we get volunteers to come up and participate in the spelling.” Van Oosbree has worked on several shows where the audience gets on stage,

Sometime during the run of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” Performance Now will sell its hundred-thousandth ticket, and is selling with prizes and giveaways. Courtesy image and she said it adds a whole new level of variety to the performance. “It’s a very, very funny show, and I want to make sure the humor comes from a place of honesty and truth,” she said. “Audiences will see the funny side of the characters, and a bit of the pain that goes into it.” Performance Now has always embraced the educational aspects of theater and will come fully to bear in “Putnam County,” according to Ken Goodwin, executive producer with the theater. “We’ve double cast the roles of the spellers with adults and young people,” he said. “These ‘intern’ actors are junior and senior high school students and will be doing three performances.” The special intern performances will be 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 16, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 19. The adult cast performance is recommended for ages 13 and older and the intern performances are appropriate for all ages. “Both casts are equally as entertaining,” Goodwin said. “The actors were paired up almost like big brothers and sisters as they learned the roles.” Van Oosbree said that as director she watched as both the adult and intern casts learned from each other as they developed their characters. Goodwin said something that makes this run particularly special is Performance Now will sell its hundred-thousandth ticket. The person who purchases that ticket will receive a prize pack and there will be other prizes throughout the run to celebrate the landmark. While the milestone is worth celebrating, the goal always remains to put on an entertaining show for the audience. “I love the spellers and their stories — they’re so wonderful about how they got there,” Van Oosbree said. “It’s an enjoyable show for everyone and you’ll love spelling even more after it’s over.” For more information call 303-987-7845 or visit www.performancenow.org.

There are some stories that are almost too sad to report. This is one of them. Randy Weeks, 59, president of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and executive director of its Broadway touring division, died Oct. 9. Weeks was in London attending the Independent Presenter’s Network conference. Concern was raised when he missed a previously scheduled meeting. Colleagues requested that the hotel in which he was staying do a wellness check, at which time he was discovered in his bed. The cause of death was not immediately known. Here’s what the retiring head of the DPCA, Daniel Ritchie, had to say: “Randy’s relationship with the DCPA began in 1978 when he started working in the box office while attending the University of Colorado. Despite a foray into his parents’ restaurant business, Randy’s first love was the theater. He was serving as Theatre Operations Manager at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., when local Broadway presenter Bob Garner tapped Randy to take the helm of Denver Center Attractions in 1989.” During Weeks’ tenure, he also opened the Garner Galleria Theatre in 1992 with the smash hit “Forever Plaid.” The venue has gone on to great success, treating audiences to such long-running shows as “Always … Patsy Cline” and “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.” Weeks was a co-founder of the Women’s Voices Fund, making gifts to honor his mother and aunt. He also served on the Denver School of the Arts board, the Independent Presenter’s Network, The Broadway League and the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District.

Gotta whole lotta shirts

Rockmount Ranch Wear, the historic snap-front shirt maker at 1626 Wazee, is no stranger to the rich and famous. Its distinctive Western shirts have been immortalized in movies and on the backs of rock stars. Steve Weil, Rockmount’s third-generation owner, has met more than his share of stars, but he can’t resist getting in touch with his inner groupie when someone special walks in the door. On Oct. 3, Weil was driving home from work when an employee called to say that rocker Robert Plant, of Led Zeppelin fame, was in the store. Weil spun the car around and headed back. “He was like a kid in a candy store,” Weil said. “He tried on several shirts and a leather jacket and took each one to the counter. We talked about history and literature. His prose and manner was nothing like other rock stars and celebrities we have met. This man is a gentleman — amusing and without pretense. “He said he had been coming to Denver for over 40 years, and how it had matured well ... He said he played here on Dec. 26, 1968. I asked, `How could you remember the date?’ He said, `Because it was my opening concert on my first U.S. tour.’ Led Zeppelin started the tour as opening act for Vanilla Fudge and Iron Butterfly.”

THE INCUMBENT

THE CHALLENGER

John Hickenlooper

Bob Beauprez

Party: Democrat Occupation: Governor Contact information: www.hickenlooperforcolorado.com Background: Hickenlooper was an exploration geologist in the oil and gas industry before opening 16 successful brewpubs and microbreweries in Colorado. He served as mayor of Denver from 2003-11. What is a key policy improvement that you would like to see through over the next four years? Colorado has gone from 40th to fourth in the nation for job creation and we’ve created 210,000 new jobs since January 2011, but we have more work to do. I will continue promoting bottomup economic development so every community feels economic improvement. I am dedicated to finding creative ways to get the long-term unemployed back to work. How would you handle an issue like hydraulic fracturing, one where there are so many competing interests? We negotiated a compromise with the oil and gas industry and the conservation community that removed harmful proposals from the 2014 ballot that would have put thousands of jobs at risk and would have had a devastating impact on our economy. That compromise included the creation of a bipartisan task force. Do you support the death penalty and what are your reasons behind that conviction? I am opposed to the death penalty. After studying this issue in detail, I think the facts are pretty clear that the death penalty is not a deterrent to crime, nor is it cost-effective. My conscience compels me to the conclusion that the State of Colorado should not be in the business of taking human lives. Job growth continues on an upward trajectory in Colorado and unemployment continues to drop. Is the state on the right economic track? Yes. Colorado is proud of our economic progress improving from 40th to fourth in the nation for job creation and creating 210,000 news jobs (190,000 of which are in the private sector). Last year, the Legislature approved $500 million in new funding for K-12 education. After years of budget cuts, is the state’s education system finally on the right track? Colorado’s continued economic success relies on a strong public education system that fosters home-grown talent. Thanks to smart budgeting and tough choices in our first term, we have increased K-12 education funding by $400 million and higher education funding by $100 million. We continue to champion accountability and effectiveness that has made Colorado a national model.

Party: Republican Occupation: Buffalo rancher; banker Contact information: www.bobbeauprez.com Background: A successful business leader, buffalo rancher, dairy farmer, and hometown banker, Bob Beauprez built Colorado businesses and created hundreds of jobs, helping hundreds of small businesses pursue their American Dream. What is a key policy improvement that you would like to see through over the next four years? A comprehensive audit of state government to identify and eliminate unnecessary regulation, and minimize bureaucratic roadblocks. How would you handle an issue like hydraulic fracturing, one where there are so many competing interests? Policy should be based on science, and part of a governor’s job is to make a decision that is in the best interests of the state and its citizens. Conversation is important, but we need to be focused on finding a solution and then getting on with implementing that solution. Do you support the death penalty and what are your reasons behind that conviction? I do support capital punishment in rare cases for extreme crimes, and following the strict application of due process. The death penalty is provided as an option under the Colorado Constitution for the most heinous of crimes, and as governor I will respect the process of law and the difficult decision of the jury. Job growth continues on an upward trajectory in Colorado and unemployment continues to drop. Is the state on the right economic track? Colorado has slipped to middle of the pack economically, and is performing worse in many ways than our neighboring states. Some areas of the state — such as Grand Junction, Pueblo and Colorado Springs — experienced decreased or stagnant GDP in 2013. As governor, I will work to remove government as an anchor on the economy, and restore opportunity to ALL of Colorado. Last year, the Legislature approved $500 million in new funding for K-12 education. After years of budget cuts, is the state’s education system finally on the right track? Funding is only part of the equation, and we are not maximizing our existing K-12 funding — i.e. school trust lands, and return of federal tax dollars. In the meantime, the current governor has allowed federal bureaucrats to impose a one-size-fits-all standard that reduces opportunity in education. As governor, I will improve the quality of education by returning control to local boards and ending Common Core.

What are your policy positions on immigration reform?

Why should women voters support your candidacy over your opponent’s?

Do you support President Obama’s response to ISIS-sponsored terrorism in the Middle East? Why or why not?

No one is arguing that we should return to the old system. But Sen. Udall sold Obamacare on a string of lies. We must replace Obamacare with reforms that actually increase the quality and reduce the cost of care. I support commonsense solutions that allow for the interstate purchase of insurance, coverage of pre-existing conditions, tax relief, and bolstering state high-risk pools.

I firmly believe our immigration system is broken and badly in need of reform. That process should begin with border security measures and a guest worker program. We cannot have a secure border in this country without a functional guest worker program.

Women in this country have been hurt by the policies of President Obama and Sen. Udall. They are facing higher taxes, losing their doctors and insurance plans as a result of Obamacare, and have suffered most in the economic downturn. I will fight for Colorado’s women and greater opportunities, including improving access to oral contraceptives and strengthening education.

I support the President’s response, but I strongly oppose the failed foreign policy that led us to this point.

I enrolled in the Colorado exchange and know the law isn’t perfect, but we can’t go back to a time when insurance companies could jack up rates, cut coverage, and drop people who got sick. I’ve led efforts to make the ACA work for Colorado and keep moving forward.

Our immigration system is broken. I voted for a comprehensive immigration reform bill supported by business, labor, immigration and agriculture groups, which passed the Senate with bipartisan support. I have also championed the DREAM Act so that children who have known no other home than America can earn a path to citizenship.

I trust women to make the best decisions for themselves and their families. I will protect access to birth control, preventive care, and abortion. I also helped to pass the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and support the Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure equal pay for equal work.

As a member of the Armed Services and Intelligence committees, keeping Americans safe will always be my number one priority. That’s why I strongly support targeting these terrorists with airstrikes along with efforts to arm and train Arab and other fighters in the region to attack ISIL on the ground.

Do you agree with John Suthers’ handling of recent court battles surrounding gay marriage?

Is it the job of the attorney general to defend all state laws, regardless of how she feels about them?

Why do you suppose so many people are fed up with Washington politics and how is your presence going to make a difference in people’s minds?

Is the Affordable Care Act a good law? What changes, if any, need to be made to improve the nation’s health care system?

Party: Republican Occupation: U.S. Rep. for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District Contact information: www. corygardnerforsenate.com

Washington is full of bitter partisans and gridlock. Coloradans deserve a senator who places solutions above all. That solutions-oriented approach is what I learned growing up on the Eastern Plains, where my family has lived for five generations and run a farm implement dealership for a century. We need a senator with a positive vision for Colorado and someone who believes that a brighter horizon is always within reach.

Mark Udall

I have a long record of reaching across the aisle for commonsense policies that cut red tape and reduce our deficits. I wrote a balanced budget amendment, worked with Republicans to end earmarks, and continue to look for opportunities where we can work together.

Attorney general candidates

Cynthia Coffman

Why does it matter who is the next attorney general?

What distinguishes you from your opponent?

Someone experienced must defend state law and stand up to the federal government. I’ve worked for the Colorado Legislature, a state department, the governor, and now the attorney general. I understand how state government works and know what to do when it doesn’t.

I am a staunch proponent of the rule of law. My opposition already has said he’ll pick and choose which parts of the constitution to defend. He’s told us he’ll violate the oath of office before he’s ever sworn in.

I’ll expand public outreach on consumer and public safety issues by creating an office of community initiatives. The focus will be keeping kids safe at school, protecting individual privacy, preventing identity theft, and educating consumers. I will give citizens a place to report suspected crimes by public officials and government employees, and guarantee the AG’s office will prosecute the bad actors. Finally, I will fight crimes against kids and the elderly, work to reduce domestic violence and human trafficking, and be a strong voice for crime victims.

I do. The AG is required to enforce laws passed by the people and elected representatives. That’s what General Suthers has done in defending the definition of marriage in our state constitution. The voters passed the marriage amendment in 2006, and the U.S. Supreme Court has yet to say it is unconstitutional.

It is, unless the highest court with jurisdiction has said that law is unconstitutional or violates existing legal precedent.

The AG is responsible for decisions that directly affect the people of Colorado, such as: locking up violent and repeat criminals, defending a woman’s right to make her own healthcare decisions, and protecting the people and natural resources of our beautiful state.

I am not a political appointee. I have been a prosecutor for the past 26 years, taking on public corruption and locking up violent criminals. I base my decisions on the facts and the law, not politics.

I will create a public corruption prosecution unit, lead a statewide effort to improve services to victims of sexual assaults, implement a task force to protect veterans, and work to keep kids in the classroom and out of the courtroom.

No. I agree with the 27 courts in a row — including court decisions here in Colorado — that recently ruled that these bans violate the Equal Protection Clause of the constitution.

Yes, personal opinions don’t matter. I am the only candidate that has stood up in court for the last 26 years and defended Colorado laws. However, we also take an oath to follow the Constitution. When a law targets a group to deny a fundamental right, it is unconstitutional, and I will not defend it. A 2003 unanimous decision of Colorado’s Supreme Court established that rule of law.

Party: Republican Background: Cynthia Coffman has served as second-in-command of the Colorado Attorney General’s Office for 9 1/2 years. She has practiced law for 23 years.

Don Quick Party: Democrat Background: Quick served two terms as the District Attorney for Adams and Broomfield counties. He served as Attorney General Ken Salazar’s Chief Deputy. Don grew up in Jefferson County and lives in Westminster with wife Kerrie and two sons.

What are some policy improvements that you will bring to this office?

Reviewing the state ballot questions By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The following is a look at statewide ballot questions:

Amendment 67

This measure proposes to amend the state constitution to “specify that the terms ‘person’ and ‘child’ in the Colorado Criminal Code and the state wrongful death statutes include unborn human beings.” according to the official state ballot information booklet. Supporters say the amendment protects pregnant women and unborn children by making it a crime to kill or harm a child in the womb. The measure would mean that unborn children would be afforded the same legal status as adults. If voters approve, the measure may also “establish the legal foundation to protect the unborn by ending the practice of abortion in Colorado.” Opponents say the measure is “unnecessary and unclear” and that there are

already protections in place for pregnant women who are physically harmed. Because there is no legal or medical definition of “unborn human being,” opponents fear that the law could apply at the earliest stages of pregnancy. That could mean that if women terminate a pregnancy, at any stage, they would face criminal liability.

Amendment 68

This measure would allow casino gambling at horse racing tracks in Arapahoe, Mesa and Pueblo counties. The new gambling tax revenue would provide additional funding for K-12 schools. Supporters say the measure provides funding for schools without raising taxes and the gaming revenue could provide up to $114.5 million annually to school districts and charter schools, beginning in 2016. Proponents also say the measure would create new jobs at the gaming establishments. Opponents say the measure would hurt economies of the existing gambling towns of Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple

Why does it matter who is the next secretary of state?

What distinguishes you from your opponent in this race?

It matters because, as the son of immigrants, I believe the right to vote is sacred. We need a secretary who will administer elections evenly and fairly. I will work to make our elections accessible to all eligible voters.

Unlike my opponent, I have a history of working across party lines as a business attorney and CU Regent. Also, I supported recent election reforms that my opponent opposed, which ensure every registered voter receives a mail-in ballot, and will fight to protect those reforms when elected.

Elections are too important to trust to a novice. I expanded voting opportunities while running challenging elections — a recall with seven different rule sets and an election amidst a devastating wildfire. As County Clerk from Colorado’s biggest county, I’ve been a leader in making improvements. We provide great customer service – I run the only office in the state open on Saturdays. We’ve been a model of efficiency, openness, and transparency – while keeping costs low.

I am the only candidate who has actually run elections. When a devastating wildfire attacked our community, we had voters who were completely cut off. As the elected Clerk, I ensured that every citizen had the opportunity to vote – delivering and receiving ballots in extraordinary ways.

Creek. When these mountain towns’ economies take a hit, so does the state, through decreased gaming revenues that support state and local services. The measure also does not give local voters a say in whether casino gambling should be allowed in their communities.

Proposition 104

If passed, this measure would “require that local school boards or their representatives negotiate collective bargaining agreements in open meetings,” the blue book states. Those who support the measure believe it would provide the public with greater oversight regarding the goings-on at their schools. The measure would create greater transparency in government, allowing the public to have a better understanding of the collective bargaining process. Opponents say employment contracts issues would be difficult to deal with publicly and those discussions can sometimes lead to sensitive employment issues that are best left for an elected school board to

handle.

Proposition 105

This measure would require foods that are genetically modified or produced with genetic engineering to be labeled as such. Supporters of the measure say Coloradans deserve to know what’s in the food they eat. They also say that it is a good thing when consumers can make their own informed decisions on what they feed their families. Right now, labels are already required to indicate nutritional values and the presence of allergens, so, supporters say, why not label a GMO as such? Opponents say the measure would result in higher food costs for farmers and manufacturers, meaning retail stores would pass along those costs to the consumer. The measure would be a burden for small businesses and farmers markets as well. Opponents are also concerned that consumers would misconstrue the labeling to mean the food is not safe, even though there is no scientific evidence that indicates genetically engineered foods are unsafe.

Has Scott Gessler been a good secretary of state?

What do see as being the biggest challenge facing the current voting and elections system and what changes would you make?

No. The Secretary has been unwilling to work collaboratively with important stakeholders to improve our elections system. As Secretary of State, I will collaborate with the clerks and other stakeholders to ensure that our elections are as efficient and accessible as they can be.

The most important issue facing the Secretary of State is how to engage people in our democratic process, thereby making Colorado the numberone state in the country for voter participation. I will work with county clerks to ensure that our elections are efficient and affordable, and will expand voter access where it is lacking, including for example, using tablet technology to ease the process for voters with disabilities.

www.goVoteColorado. com and the business registration systems are great. A Secretary of State with practical experience in running elections will be able to ensure better processes and more collaboration.

Colorado has a great system but it can be better. My efforts as county clerk have resulted in record turnout. We need to reform the recent laws, so that our election integrity matches our alreadyhigh voter participation and voters have choice. We should require photo identification for in-person voting and actual residency for same day registration. We should require signature verification for all mail ballot elections.

Why does it matter who is the next treasurer?

What distinguishes you from your opponent in this race?

What are some policy improvements that you bring to this office?

What kind of impact is PERA having on the state and how would you address it?

What changes or what continuations of policy would you implement to ensure the state’s financial system is sound?

In this age of partisanship and skepticism, Colorado needs a treasurer who will show up, work with both sides of the aisle and be transparent and accountable to Coloradans. I will be that treasurer.

Like most Coloradans I worked hard to provide for my family. I started two successful businesses — one I sold and doubled my investment and the other is going strong. I know how to make tough financial decisions.

I would attend and be active at PERA meetings while working on solutions. Something my opponent hasn’t done. I would reinstate the State Taxpayer Accountability Report. It shows where taxpayer money comes from, and where it goes. The current treasurer never produced a report. Also, good government finds creative ways to do more with less, making our tax dollars go further.

Passing SB 1 in 2010 helped PERA, it cut retiree COLAs, increased the age of retirement, and increased the contributions of employees and employers. PERA is now on a course toward full funding in 30 years. We should give this legislation time to work.

I will monitor the results of SB 1 on PERA and work with the Legislature to determine any other changes to the system. From day one, I will work full-time to evaluate state investments, work with officials from across Colorado to meet local needs, and ensure that our treasurer’s office is working in a transparent and accountable manner.

Colorado’s Treasurer oversees a multi-billion dollar investment pool of public funds each year. It is critical that the office is managed by someone with a deep understanding of both public and private finance.

I am not a career politician. Prior to being elected in 2010, I spent my entire career in the private sector, where I learned invaluable lessons and skills that are crucial to public finance. This differentiates me from my opponent who voted in favor of the fiscally catastrophic (Obamacare). Our respective approaches to public policy could not be more different.

I have brought unprecedented transparency to the treasurer’s office. Additionally, I consolidated the state’s debt issuance process, provided greater power to county treasurers, and, every year that I have been in office, we have exceeded our investment benchmarks.

PERA currently has a $26 billion unfunded liability, or rather, money that the retirement plan owes but does not have in the bank. With such a massive shortfall, PERA needs to be reformed to protect the retirement of its 500,000 members. We have seen the effects of runaway pension shortfalls elsewhere. Colorado can do better, and I am proud to have taken a leadership role in fighting for PERA’s solvency and sustainability for generations to come.

We must keep Colorado business-friendly. The economic consequences of banning fracking would be ruinous to our economy. I will fight tirelessly to prevent it from ever happening.

Why are you seeking this office?

What will your top priority be if elected?

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, how would you rate the Legislature’s performance during the 2014 session?

What two issues deserve more attention in the 2015 session than they received in 2014? Briefly explain why.

Residents of Thornton need a representative who understands Thornton, who has grown up with Thornton and who will address their needs. As your state representative, I will continue addressing economic and education issues affecting low-income and middle income families. I will continue to hold government accountable to the people.

My background as a Thornton resident, my education background and my experience as a civil rights attorney and as a business owner make me the best qualified person for the job. I know how to think outside the box to solve problems experienced by my community.

As in my first two years, I will focus on improving our pre-K through 12 education system and making higher education more affordable for low income and middle income families. Additionally, government transparency will always be my priority. Likewise, nurturing Colorado’s great economic recovery is a top priority.

Eight out of 10. These past two years, Colorado enjoyed the most forwardthinking legislative sessions in history. We successfully passed job creation and small business support legislation that saw Colorado move from 40th to 4th in the nation on job growth. But, we have a way to go.

Our focus in 2015 should be on improving our pre-K through 12 education system and making higher education more affordable. Without an educated workforce, our economic recovery will remain incomplete. Everyone must have the same opportunity to be successful. The more we are successful together, the greater Colorado will be as a state.

The future of our country needs to be addressed and our state has to step up to do its part. I want to protect our personal rights for you and me, and fight to follow our constitution.

My experience in my life has provided me with many things, from running a small business, working with people in all kinds of ways, customer service, event planning, helping with the development of city issues, and working with youth, and senior programs. Common sense has proven very beneficial.

My top priority will be to protect our rights, the constitution and the 2nd Amendment, the right to bear arms, for local control of parental and family rights in education of our children, bring economic development and create jobs for Colorado, alleviate regulations on small business and to support fracking.

I would rate the performance of the legislature at a 4, on grounds that the legislature does not deal with the majority of Coloradoans. Example: To provide water storage and dealing with higher education costs.

Fracking, as it is a State wide concern. Common Core and the negative effects it brings to the education of our children. Fracking provides thousands of jobs, and will give us the independence from foreign oil. Common Core will take away local control from our teachers and the parents’ rights.

What makes you the best person for the job?

What will your top priority be if elected?

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, how would you rate the Legislature’s performance during the 2014 session?

To increase freedom. To ensure students, parents and teachers have control of education. To minimize the role of government.

I am not a party puppet. I support the freedom of every Coloradan, not just those I’m comfortable with. I will do what’s right for the district, not a political party.

Repealing overreaching laws. Many laws are redundant and lack common sense. It’s hard to live in a free country when laws continue to be added.

I give them a 1. Many laws were passed this session. Not one solved our education concerns. Not one restored freedom. Not one prevented an increase of government.

Education and freedom. Students, parents and teachers in public education are controlled by bureaucrats. Teachers know their students. Kids know what they want in life. Parents know what’s best. Government has failed them. Freedom starts in education.

I’m seeking re-election to continue working for families in Adams County. In my first term at the legislature I’ve passed common sense, bipartisan bills to make school breakfast and lunch more available and affordable for students because kids can’t learn on an empty stomach.

I’m the best choice to represent you because I understand this community. Attending local public schools in Adams County showed me that our education system isn’t always fair. ZIP codes should never determine the quality of an education. I will continue to work towards an education system that is equal for all students regardless of where they live.

My top priority is to support vocational education programs in our schools. I regularly hear from Adams County employers that young people do not have the necessary skills or technical training to get good-paying jobs. I’ll work to support these education programs so young people have more work opportunities after they graduate.

8. Last session, the legislature set aside partisan politics to lower the cost of a college education, make childcare more affordable by increasing tax credits for families and put more resources behind our K-12 schools. We also passed bills to make sure Colorado communities recover from the devastating floods and wildfires.

Properly funding our transportation network deserves more attention because residents and businesses alike depend on good roads with less traffic. We also need to concentrate on supporting jobs that pay a living wage so people don’t have to hold multiple jobs to make ends meet.

A 5. The current legislature has (in my opinion) taken it “easy.” It is an election year, so most of the bills passed are pretty non-controversial. I also don’t see them tackling any major issues though.

Education is the largest part of the budget and getting control over the associated issues with PERA. Expanding School Choice, expanding charter schools, expanding voucher systems, anything that can inject “competition” into the education system is a step in the right direction.

Please look at my track record and background on stevelebsock.com. I fight for you. And, I advocate for legislation and budgets that reflect our priorities in the North Metro Area. The citizens are my boss. Do not hesitate to contact me.

8. Over the last two years the Legislature has passed laws and a state budget that has contributed to our Colorado economy getting stronger. Unemployment is down. But, we still have more work to do. Common sense foreclosure prevention legislation passed over the last two years has also been good for Colorado citizens.

Veterans and families. In 2013, I authored an amendment to the state budget that increased the number of Veteran Services Officers to serve veterans. Family issues must be a priority also. Making sure we fully fund education and making sure that we fully fund senior services is also very important.

Why are you seeking this office?

What makes you the best person for the job?

What will your top priority be if elected?

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, how would you rate the Legislature’s performance during the 2014 session?

For years, House District 35 has not had a representative who will fight for the needs of our district. Past representatives have put party loyalty ahead of representing the people of HD35. We need a champion who will represent those of us in the suburbs. I will not be afraid to be that champion.

Past successful experience in the private sector, growing businesses through strong leadership and legitimate compromise. My belief that government’s role is not to excessively control the private sector, but to help energize and grow it. My goal is to represent the needs of all the people in the district, and the state.

Work on the inequities that are adversely affecting those of us in HD35. Current leaders, city planners and futurists, don’t seem to like the suburbs. To them, it’s suburban sprawl. I respect those who prefer urban living, but will demand the same respect for us suburbanites.

3. Too much partisan bickering and voting along strict party lines. Recent gun control laws have done little except drive away some businesses and place fear in the hearts of honest gun owners. Fracking is potentially a great driving engine for our economy not the environmental hazard that some would want us to believe.

Equitable representation for House District 35 on education and transportation. Present legislation and financing methods favor the big cities, mainly Denver. Adams 12 pays the highest school taxes in the state. Westminster 50 isn’t far behind. One look at I-25 and US36, T-Rex, and light rail shows the disparity there.

Colorado is the best state in the union, and I want us to live up to our full potential. We need to find creative solutions to ensure our children have a bright future, every family in Colorado has a shot at success and our people have the security to retire comfortably.

I am accountable, accessible and I know how to listen. For the past seven years I have given my cell phone number and my email to thousands of people. I am here to work for you and work for our community.

Working to create an economy that works for everyone not just the wealthy few. True economic recovery will happen when working families have a chance to get ahead. I want to help build a Colorado where hard work is rewarded. We can close corporate tax loopholes and ensure everyone plays by the same rules.

7. Good work was done but we can do better to find bi-partisan solutions. I want to go to the capitol to find solutions not enter into petty fights. On council I have worked in a bi-partisan effort to make our city better and will continue to do so.

Water, we need to conserve and smartly manage this precious resource to protect our Colorado way of life. Student loan debt is crippling the dreams of our young people, is bad for the economy and is putting the future of Colorado at risk.

Why are you seeking this office?

What makes you the best person for the job?

What will your top priority be if elected?

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, how would you rate the Legislature’s performance during the 2014 session? I would give it a 5. To much spending on many items that don’t benefit most in the state with real job creation or education reform.

I’m concerned about the direction of my home state of Colorado and want to ensure my children and others receive a quality education.

I have a strong background in business and public policy. I’m able to understand the long term repercussions of what we do or don’t do at the capitol in Denver.

Education and reform.

Through the Greater Brighton Neighborhood Volunteers I helped organize numerous campaigns benefiting Brighton-area residents, including fresh produce drives, toy drives, backpack/school drives, yard and home maintenance for the elderly and open space cleanup. This work inspired me to be a voice for those who feel left behind: seniors, veterans, under privileged children.

As a wife, mother and new face to state politics, I feel I will bring a fresh, open minded approach to legislation and representation.

Education. Our schools are underfunded and our children are suffering because of it.

To be a voice for the constituents of this district that value privacy and the freedom to make choices for themselves and their families. To do what I can to keep the state from infringing on our natural rights of life, liberty and property.

I’m not a politician. I will legislate and vote based on a simple philosophy. If a piece of legislation seeks to infringe on anyone’s life, liberty or property, I will vote against it.

To do what I can to scale down the reach of the state into our personal affairs. Most importantly, to push for the state to allow every citizen to keep more of what he or she earned, to spend on what they believe is best.

What two issues deserve more attention in the 2015 session than they received in 2014? Briefly explain why.

No answer.

1. In the 2014 session, 710 pieces of legislation were introduced, virtually all of which would infringe on someone’s right to life, liberty or property.

What two issues deserve more attention in the 2015 session than they received in 2014? Briefly explain why. We need more in the area of education reform. Too many of our kids are either not graduating or are graduating without being proficient in reading, writing and math. We also need to streamline government and regulations to help get more folks back to work.

I’d like to increase access to quality early learning opportunities and look for ways to effectively finance schools.

Government spending and taxation. The state, through the means of coercion, takes what the people of Colorado have rightfully earned and spends it on what they believe is best for you. For a family of four, the state alone spends almost $20,000 per year, of money they didn’t earn, but you did. I believe you could spend that better.

What makes you the best person for the job?

What will be your top priority, if elected?

I am running for the Colorado Senate to advocate for working families, seniors, and children. Rising prices and stagnant wages have left too many people struggling to make ends meet. I want to help create an economy that works for everyone, not just the very wealthy or well-connected.

After teaching fifthgraders for 29 years, I was a state representative for 8 years. I sponsored bipartisan renewable energy laws which created local jobs. I led the way on early childhood education and pushed for policies that protect children. By working together, we move this state forward.

I feel I have an obligation to institute the positive change Colorado needs now. Of concern have been bills introduced with unintended consequences. A couple of bills that made it to the Governor’s desk this year would have had a negative impact on residents, businesses, communities statewide and local city governments.

Seven years of valuable municipal experience has helped me make tough decisions with positive outcomes. I am out in communities talking with and listening to residents, business owners as well as other local government officials. I possess a positive record of leading with honest integrity and with tenacity as a vocal advocate on behalf of those I represent.

Why are you running for office?

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, how would you rate the Legislature’s performance during the 2014 session?

What two issues deserve more attention in the 2015 session than they received in 2014? Briefly explain why.

I will fight to build a stronger and more secure middle class. We do this by creating good-paying jobs, by supporting small businesses, by improving our public schools, and by promoting policies that make it easier to afford a good education and save for retirement.

The 2014 legislature passed bills which will improve the affordability of childcare and economic stability of families, give Colorado companies and workers preference in state contracts, provide more dollars to fight wildfires, and restore some funding for K-12 education and state colleges. They deserve a score of 8.

Public education and transportation deserve more attention. Schools have not recovered from the cuts made during the recession. Families need access to affordable preschool, full-day kindergarten, college, and vocational training. 52 percent of the roads in Colorado are in disrepair, and congestion is a huge issue on most major highways.

Working across the aisle on policies to help businesses create jobs to get Colorado’s economy moving. Underemployed or unemployed friends, relatives and neighbors all want to get back to work at livable wage jobs. Businesses want to be able to grow, expand and hire new employees.

Five. My personal expectations are no different from what other residents or the business community expects. The expectation is for our state legislators to do their jobs and get things done that are needed. Responsibility, accountability and the best representation by state leaders working for the people who have elected them to serve.

Looking at ways to get government out of the way so that business can thrive again without enacting unnecessary regulations that will inhibit growth and economic vitality. Review laws that have created negative impacts for our residents and to local communities.

County asking voters to expand sales tax use Revenue generated by existing tax cound fund human services facility By Tammy Kranz tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com Having the human services offices in Brighton — away from much of the community it serves — has not proven to be the ideal location for its citizens. Because of this, the board of county commissioners is asking voters to expand the use of its existing 1/2 of 1 percent sales tax to provide funding for potentially building or relocating its hu-

man services offices. The current language of the existing tax only allows funding for constructing, acquiring, equipping, operation, maintaining and expanding the Adams County Justice Center, a pre trial holding facility and a centralized government center. The board voted unanimously to place a question on the Nov. 4 ballot that asks voters to approve expanded use of the existing tax — to construct, equip, maintain, and expand existing and new Adams County Government facilities, in addition to the Adams County Justice Center, a pre-trial holding facility and a centralized government center The majority of human services

functions are located in the Adams County Government Center, 4430 S. Adams County Parkway. Forty-percent of the revenues of the existing sales tax are shared among the county and the incorporated cities and towns in Adams County for improvements to or the building of roads and bridges. If voters approve the expanded use, this 40 percent will remain dedicated to such projects. Voters first approved the tax measure in 1993 to construct the Adams County Justice Center. Voters extended the sales tax in 1997 for the expansion of the Adams County Detention Center, in 2001 to provide for road and bridge projects and in 2006 to the language it is today.

Overcrowding prompts $148 million bond question D27J student enrollment increases as does its space needs By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com Going to full-year calendar and an extended daily schedule (6:20 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) because of overcrowding is not a scare tactic, said District 27J Superintendent Chris Fiedler. It’s a reality unless voters approve a $148 million bond issue in November. “None of these contingency ideas are our best scenarios,” Fiedler said. “We don’t think it’s best for our kids. There is no foreseeable end to this district’s enrollment growth. We may sur-

pass 17,000 students during the 2014-15 school year and we will be a district of more than 20,000 students in the near future.” By 2030, the district is predicted to double in size to 32,000 students, he added. The district covers portions of Adams, Broomfield and Weld counties. Of the current population, 2,055 students are from the Thornton area, and by 2018 that area will bring about 3,118 students to D27J, an increase of 1,063, according to Joy Gerdom, the district’s planning manager. The cost to homeowners if the $148 million bond passes is about $3.45 per month per $100,000 of home value, according to Suzi DeYoung, chief financial officer. The average home value in the district is about $217,000, so most

homeowners would see an increase of $7 per month. The proposed $148 million bond would fund a new high school (the third in the district), two new elementary schools, complete the build-out of Brantner Elementary, expand Overland Trail Middle School and renovate Vikan Middle School. Money would also be available to finish learning space inside the district charter school Eagle Ridge Academy. There will also be funds to update, repair and improve other schools to increase safety features and technology needs. The new high school location will be at 136th Avenue and Yosemite Street in Thornton and would alleviate overcrowding at Prairie View and Brighton High Schools.

$100,000 of assessed home value would be $5.38 a monthly, or $64.60 annually. The bond alone would cost residents $1.82 a month while the mill levy alone would cost $3.56 per month. The daily cost for residents is 18 cents if both measures pass, which Superintendent Charlotte Ciancio said is a sound investment in the future of the children. Revenue from the bond would be used to construct, acquire, improve and equip district facilities; extend the life of aging school buildings by making improve-

ments to flooring, roofs, HVAC systems, plumbing and electrical systems; and renovating and repairing buildings to improve security and comply with current safety codes. Proposed projects to be paid for from the bond include: campus renovation and security updates at Global Leadership Academy; HVAC and safety upgrades at Achieve Elementary; entrance, plumbing and safety upgrades at Adventure Elementary, addition and renovation, bathrooms and safety upgrades at Explore Elementary; renovations and safety upgrades at Meadow

Community School; classroom spaces, gym, bathrooms and safety upgrades at Monterey Community School; addition (and removal of modular), renovations, gym, bus land and safety upgrades at Valley View; and gym, bathrooms and safety upgrades at Welby Montessori. If approved, the $2.5 million mill levy would fund expanded learning opportunities for students - which include summer programming, tutoring and before and after school supports; improve technology availability and access; and re-

cruit and retain teachers. “Like many school districts in Colorado, Mapleton is still reeling from state-level budget cuts that left our school district with a more than $5,000,000 reduction in per pupil funding over the past five years,” Ciancio said. “Thank goodness for the community supported mill levy in 2009. Those dollars served as a small buffer and helped defray cuts slightly. However, we continue to feel the impact of a recessed economy and we strive to serve all of our children.”

NMFR seeks 3.5 mill levy increase

Bond question, mill levy override for Adams 12 voters

By Tammy Kranz

By Ashley Reimers

tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com Northglenn voters will be asked to approve a 3.5 mill levy increase for the North Metro Fire Rescue District in November to meet the growing demand for services, update equipment and address aging fire stations. The proposed mill levy increase of 3.5 mills will cost homeowners an estimated $2.32 per $100,000 value each month. If this measure passes, the funding would be used to add firefighting personnel, address highest priority equipment needs (such as ambulances, fire engines, firefighting gear), and update and repair fire stations. Chief David Ramos said during a May interview that the district was funded with just enough money to operate and deferred costs as much as it could; however, it was unable to continue to do that.

Ramos said the district has deferred repairs to the older stations in the district but those needed to be brought up to code to provide a better, safer work environment for the firefighters. Ramos said without a mill levy, the board and district staff would have to work to find ways to cut expenses, which may include scaling back on certain services. NMFR provides fire protection, emergency medical services, hazardous materials response and rescue services for more than 111,000 residents in the city and county of Broomfield, the city of Northglenn and portions of Adams, Boulder and Jefferson and Weld counties — spanning an area of 63 square miles. Since 2004, the district’s population has grown by 22 percent. In that same time, its emergency call volume has increased by 37 percent.

areimers @coloradocommunitymedia.com Come November, voters in the Adams 12 Five Star School District will be deciding whether to pass a $220 million bond and a $15 million mill levy override. If the bond questions passed, a tax increase would not be required due to the district’s refinancing of current debt, low interest rates and previous debt being paid off. Possible uses of the bond money, if approved, includes: the construction of one or two K-8 schools, expansion of the school proposed for construction in the Lewis Pointe subdivision to four classroom rounds per level rather than three classroom rounds per

level, further expansion of existing middle schools to serve additional students and relieve future crowding, expansion of high school capacity and funds for maintenance of existing district buildings. If the $15 million mill levy override passes, the measure would cost homeowners approximately $5.58 per month, per $100,000 of home value. If passed, the funds would be allocated in the 2015-2016 school year and be divided into eight categories as follows: $1.4 million to competitive starting salary/early career earnings for teachers, $2.4 million to instructional materials, $1.7 million to professional development for implementation of new instructional materials, $5.3 million to the expansion of electives/course

offerings and mental health/ support services, $2.18 million to a technology refresh/renew, $330,552 to safety/security, $836,000 to maintenance/custodial and $853,00 to charter schools. Superintendent Chris Gdowski said the district dealt with very limited resources for a number of years and has maxed out the ways of getting excess costs and things that are overhead-intensive off the books. “I feel really good standing in front of our community and asking them to invest,” he said. “I think we can make a compelling case that is a great investment and there will be an outstanding return on this investment.”

Voters to decide on retail, medical marijuana shops Retail marijuana tax goes to ballot By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com

The city of Federal Heights is placing three questions on the November ballot dealing with marijuana. Voters will be asked whether the city should enact an ordinance permitting the operation of regulated medical marijuana centers; whether the city should enact an ordinance permitting the operation of regulated retail marijuana stores; and whether the city should impose a five percent sales tax on retail marijuana and retail marijuana products. If voters approve the sale of retail and medical marijuana along with the five

percent sale tax, revenue from the tax would go towards supporting local drug education programs, prevention of underage consumption of retail marijuana and retail marijuana products and to other general purposes of the city. Since March, the city council has been discussing the subject of marijuana and learning more about how the legalized drug could affect the city. According to city manager Jacquie Halburnt, city council decided the decision on whether or not retail and medical marijuana shops should be allowed in the city should be left to the voters. “The council has been learning a lot about marijuana retail shops and medical shops and decided that the voters should

make the decision on whether or not they want it in their city,” she said. “The council has the authority to pass an ordinance on retail marijuana, but they would rather leave it up to the voters to see how they feel about it.” If retail and medical marijuana operations pass, Halburnt said it could be a benefit to the local economy. “If the ballot questions pass, marijuana centers could bring more people into Federal Heights looking to spend their money on retail or medical marijuana,” she said. “Which means they could also spend their money at other places in the city.”

Northglenn voters to decide two marijuana tax questions By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com Businesses selling retail marijuana in Northglenn may be hit twice with additional sales taxes if voters approve two separate ballot measures in November. Adams County is asking voters to approve a 3 percent sales tax on recreation marijuana and recreation marijuana products throughout the entire county, even incorporated cities. If voters in the county approve the 3 percent sales tax the money generated would pay for educational programs and for direct and indirect costs incurred by the county related to regulating and licensing such establishments.

Northglenn, too, is asking voters in the city to approve a 2 percent sales tax on retail and medical marijuana and their products. If voters approve this tax, according to the ballot language, revenue generated would “be used exclusively, but not limited to, the Northglenn Recreation Center, the Northglenn Senior Center and the Northglenn Theater.” The “including, but not limited to” does allow the money to be used for other public facilities, such as the Northglenn Police Department and Northglenn City Hall. During City Council’s Aug. 25 regular meeting, City Attorney Corey Hoffmann said that the money could not be used for building rehabilitation, remodel or main-

tenance. “The one thing I would point out is this is limited to construction so you’re building new facilities only with this language,” he said. Northglenn and Aurora are the only cities in Adams County allowing the sale of marijuana. Right now the county has a moratorium on retail marijuana establishments that expires at the end of this year. Northglenn could generate $450,000 annually in the first year if its 2 percent sales tax question is approved. According to its ballot language, the county expects to generate $1,260,000 annually in the first fiscal year (2016) if that tax measure passes.

Voters asked to approve 3 percent sales tax county wide By Tammy Kranz tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com Adams County is asking voters to approve a countywide 3 percent sales tax on recreation marijuana. If approved, the tax would be applied to recreation marijuana and recreation marijuana products throughout the entire county, even the incorporated cities. This would affect Northglenn, which does allow retail sale in the city and Aurora, which will allow it beginning Oct. 1. Right now the county has a moratorium on retail marijuana that expires at the end of this year. The sale of retail marijuana and retail marijuana products is currently taxed by the state of Colorado with a small percentage of the tax being shared back amongst all of the communities, according to county attorney Heidi Miller. “The current state sales and excise tax structure on retail marijuana and retail marijuana products is not designed to provide an equitable share back of the tax revenue to the communities from which revenue is derived,” she said. If voters approve the 3 percent sales tax on retail marijuana and retail marijuana products the money generated would pay for educational programs and for direct and indirect costs incurred by the county related to regulating and licensing such establishments, Miller said. According to the ballot language, the county expects to generate $1,260,000 annually in the first fiscal year (2016) if the tax measure passes.

Why are you seeking this office?

What makes you the best person for the job?

What will your top priority be if elected?

I am running for this office to eliminate the inaccurate and unfair practices that have been used in the past to assess many property values in Adams County as a result of corrupt practices and cronyism. Everyone in this county deserves to be treated equally and fairly without bias or favoritism.

It’s time for a fresh, new beginning. I will break the 70 year cycle of cronyism and bring honesty, integrity and fairness to the Assessor’s office. Experience means nothing if it does not give you the moral fiber and courage of your convictions to stand up for what is right.

To oversee the office and ensure that every property in Adams County is assessed fairly and accurately according to State laws.

I don’t believe the efficiency of the office is in question. I do however want the office to have an open door policy. The people of Adams County need to feel comfortable coming to the office and leave with the peace of mind that they have satisfactorily had their concerns addressed.

I would have to reserve my opinion, as I do not feel enough research has been done to adequately evaluate the pros and cons of home rule.

I am seeking the position of assessor to offer Adams County citizens a qualified candidate who is a licensed real estate appraiser with over two and half decades of mass appraisal experience. I am committed to representing Adams County professionally, transparently and with the integrity necessary to gain your trust and support as your public official.

I, John Schaul, am the best person for the job of assessor. I am a lifelong resident of Adams County. I began my professional appraisal career in 1986. I am a Colorado licensed appraiser and have compiled over 250 hours of continued appraisal education since acquiring my appraisal license. My mass appraisal expertise is cataloged with experience in mass valuation modeling including residential, commercial, land and agricultural production. I am a member of the International Association of Assessing Officers, Colorado Association of Tax Appraisers, and the Colorado Assessors Association. I work with the Colorado Legislative Council to analyze and forecast future Adams County economic changes.

As the newly elected assessor, Colorado statute will mandate my top priority. Colorado statue requires assessors statewide to reappraise all properties in their counties every odd numbered year. 2015 is a reappraisal year for the counties in Colorado.

The assessor’s office will be adding one position; compliance analyst, who will perform internal audits and quality control.

My opinion is that the citizens of Adams County deserve the right to vote for their own county representatives.

Why are you seeking this office?

What makes you the best person for the job?

This is a very important job that entails following legal procedures. My experiences in working with law firms for 25plus years and being a policy maker on the Brighton City Council for the past 6 years have prepared me for this position.

As a third-generation Adams County resident and small business owner, I believe the citizens deserve elected officials with ethics and integrity. I believe the clerk is our most important elected office in that it oversees our election process and constitution. It is imperative our next clerk be nonpartisan and someone the citizens can trust.

What is one change that can make the office you seek run more efficiently?

What is your opinion of a home rule charter, which may eliminate some elected positions?

What will your top priority be if elected?

What is one change that can make the office you seek run more efficiently?

I am experienced with working with employees firsthand. I am a compassionate, motivating person who continues to believe our employees are our biggest asset to our office. We in Brighton have had wonderful success through the economic struggles and we continue to thrive.

I would meet with all of our employees and listen to their issues and concerns. Collaborating with the staff is crucial in coming up with an effective plan of action for each section of the Clerk and Recorder’s office.

I would love to promote up to date computer technology in the Clerk and Recorder’s office so that we would have more efficient business processes. Our world is run by applications, and we need to be competitive with our technology. We need easy access for our citizens.

Home rule could provide better transparency, involvement of citizen committees and more responsive decision making, but the structure can be complicated to implement and elected officials and approved policy and regulations already provide citizens with democratic governance.

I’m committed to honesty, transparency and accountability.

Observe, listen and learn. I will conduct a series of open forums where I will ask citizens if their needs are being met and seek input to improve transparency, accountability and efficiencies. I will meet with staff to ensure they have the proper tools and resources to be successful at their jobs.

A computerized Lobby Management System for DMV. As a business owner knowledgeable with the private sector, I will place an emphasis on needed customer service. It is crucial we shorten the wait times at the DMV.

My campaign slogan is “Citizens First.” I believe government needs to be controlled `by the people’, not a select few government officials appointing these positions. Let the citizen’s chose who they want to represent them in these important offices.

D50 voters faced with bond, mill levy override questions

re on s not he tax is de-By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com

retail oney For the second year in a row, nd forAdams County School District 50 is latedplacing a mill levy override on the MillerNovember ballot and adding a bal-

lot question. y ex- The district is asking for a $20 fiscalmillion bond and a $2.5 million mill levy override. If approved, tax-

payers would see an increase of $5 per month for every $100,000 of home value ($3 for the mill levy override and $2 for the bond). Last election a $5.25 million mill levy override failed by a 20-point margin, which would have replenished reserve funds. This year’s mill levy override ballot language focuses on improving student achievement and success by expanding and upgrading

vocational training for students, providing instruction in STEM education, continuing funding for the district’s Competency Based System, providing additional funding to offset future budget cuts that could increase class size, cut staff, drop programming and increase fees and continuing support for arts, theater and music programs. The bond ballot language focuses on providing safe schools

and classrooms and enhancing learning opportunities by providing safety and security as needed, providing matching money for grant funds to prepare and replace roofs, expanding and renovating existing facilities, acquiring and installing air conditioning in five elementary schools and extending the life of classrooms by making improvements as necessary. “We believe this is the right

decision for our students and the community as a whole,” said Superintendent Pamela Swanson. “We are clearly on the right path in terms of academic achievement and we have stretched our dollars as far as they will go. Voters need to rally around this effort.”

What makes you the best person for the job?

What will your top priority be if elected?

What is one change that can make the office you seek run more efficiently?

What is your opinion of a home rule charter, which may eliminate some elected positions?

I am passionate about the forensic field and enjoy providing a vital public service to the community.

I have proven administrative success in this position. I reorganized the office to better serve the community, hired competent and qualified staff, increased revenue and service, and reduced spending. I am state and nationally board certified in death investigation. My experience, and education is concentrated in the human science and forensic fields.

If re-elected, my top priority will continue to be ensuring that the office fulfills its constitutional requirements through competent, compassionate, and fiscally responsible service.

I became coroner in 2011 and immediately eliminated the inefficiencies I found. I continue to do this regularly by reevaluating practices, listening to the employees, and implementing ideas that increase efficiency and service.

Under a home rule charter appointed officials would replace some elected officials. Currently elected offices are constitutionally separate and the elected officials answer to the citizens, not to the commissioners or other officials. This separation, and disbursement of power, is imperative to minimizing corruption, coercion, and cronyism. Each current elected official has years of experience and education directly related to his/ her position. Why place these official positions under the control of others that don’t? If the concern is the qualifications of some elected officials, the constitutional qualifications of the position(s) should be changed through legislation, not through taking the power of election away from the citizens. Elected officials serve the many that entrust them, whereas appointed officials serve the few that employ them.

I have 10 years of intense training and 25 years of experience in forensic pathology.

My 10 years of training and 25 years of experience. I am board certified in forensic pathology.

I would address that issue on a case by case basis.

I oppose home rule.

What makes you the best person for the job?

What will your top priority be if elected?

What is one change that can make the office you seek run more efficiently?

What is your opinion of a home rule charter, which may eliminate some elected positions?

To make a long story short, I was recruited as a viable candidate. After looking into this position, I realized I had already unknowingly been preparing for this. Volunteering gave me the heart for public service; running for Council gave me the know-how in campaigning; and the institutional knowledge gained while serving on Council has provided me with the necessary skills.

My experience in government financing, budgeting and management along with the relationships that I have developed while serving as At-Large Commerce City Councilman have afforded me with the preparation necessary for this position. I now know how to be an elected official working with everyone: the tax-paying constituents, other elected officials on all levels, and government employees.

Evaluating the present systems to see where improvements can be made; looking into the status of the employee pension plans for making good recommendations as a board member, and maintaining the present staff in the Treasury Department in having the best chance at attaining the best possible service for the people of Adams County.

Convincing the commissioners to re-evaluate the present policy for the Storm Water Fee so that this on-going issue can be put to rest as a non-issue. The focus of the treasurer should be on serving all of the people of Adams County.

I feel that home rule is another step toward the destruction of democracy while putting power in the hands of the few. Such positions are elected for public service; not hired to create careers.

I believe my passion, undeniable work ethic, and strong focus on aligning with your needs, has changed your government experience. My office has seen significant improvements to include: “State of the Art” software, interactive and real-time website, new hardware, enhanced process, and increased hours. It is important to keep our innovative momentum moving forward and critical that your Treasurer’s office maintains an experienced, educated, consistent, reliable, dedicated leader that demands a better government experience for you.

In addition to saving taxpayers $1 million every four years, I restored integrity in the Treasurer’s office and kept every promise I made to you in 2010. I am the only candidate with an education (MBA-Accounting and Finance), experience, and proven results, and I have transformed the way the Treasurer’s office does business by aligning with your needs. An inexperienced candidate will jeopardize the continued success of our recent accomplishments and cost taxpayers tens of thousand of dollars to train.

If re-elected, my top priorities continue to be: First, identifying the changing needs of our citizens, second, offering unprecedented technological, innovative, and transparent solutions, and third, protecting the assets of Adams county — your tax dollars.

Pursuing a satellite office that provides treasury services to outlying communities. This effort, combined with other county services, will add significant value and efficiency to our surrounding areas at no additional cost.

There are advantages and disadvantages to home rule; however, I believe it is critical to allow citizens to have a voice, through their vote, on their future leaders.

What will your top priority be if elected?

What is your opinion of a home rule charter, which may eliminate some elected positions?

What things could be done to reduce the number of inmates at the jail?

I have called Adams County home for nearly 40 years. I grew up, met my wife and raised my children here. I care deeply about our community, its diversity and want to ensure we work together to keep it safe.

Experience matters. The Adams County Sheriff’s Office has over 500 employees and a $58 million budget. It is critical that the CEO of the Sheriff’s Office is qualified to take on the role of leader. I am the only candidate that has the experience, education and ability to lead the Sheriff’s Office.

The top priority of any elected official should be to represent the citizens they serve with leadership, character and integrity. I am committed to running a very professional, high performing agency. I plan to put community first through enhanced partnerships, strengthened trust and protection of citizens and their freedoms.

I am not in favor of home rule in Adams County. I am a proponent of limited government and believe the current structure provides for the highest level of integrity and should be preserved.

To reduce the jail population it is critical to bring all of the stakeholders together to look at priorities that will ensure the greatest level of safety of the community. For example, the Colorado Risk Assessment Tool helps to ensure that the inmates who create a risk to the community are in Jail and those who don’t are in alternative programs.

I am the only candidate that still has ties to the community and knows what the needs of the community are and how to obtain the. I also know the battles the employees have faced and have a plan to meet the needs of all involved.

I have a plan to increase morale and to return the Sheriff’s Office back to basics; the Sheriff’s Office will get back to providing for the community in a positive manner with input from citizens and community leaders.

My top priority once elected is to work on jail caps. We need to reach a compromise with each city to ensure that we are doing our best to make sure each city is safe. My ultimate goal is to remove all caps at some point.

I do not see a benefit with becoming a home rule county. It is my belief that it will take a considerable amount of control away from the citizens and with some of the added positions that would need to be created I’m not sure that is best for all of us.

We need to continue working with pretrial release programs that are currently in place, keeping non-violent offenders out of jail and working. As well as providing training and counseling as needed, so that they may become productive individuals within our communities. We need to work harder at being proactive in law enforcement.

What makes you the best person for the job?

Why are you seeking this office?

What makes you the best person for the job?

My personal values and integrity run deep. I grew up in a rural community where I learned the values of hard work and service to our community. I believe in the future of Adams County. As your commissioner I want to keep making our community a better place to live, work and raise a family.

My record of getting the job done in Adams County across 13 years of elected service speaks for itself. I’ve brought Fastracks to our county and reformed a scandalplagued Adams County government by initiating reforms including an ethics officer and the expansion of the commission to five members.

I am running for county commissioner to be a voice for the people. We should attract businesses that support working families, maintain safe communities, promote smart growth, create clean and healthy environments, and support programs for seniors, youth and families. I will always put the interests of Adams County first.

Adams County has been home for 55 years. I’ve run Solano Law Offices for 38 years. I know the issues from Front Range airport, D.I.A., land use, transportation, social services, and law enforcement. I represented the whistleblower in the paving scandal. People fell asleep at the wheel. I won’t.

What will your top priority be if elected?

I’ve supported job creating initiatives such as Spaceport Colorado and the Gaylord development. I chair and founded the North Area Transportation Alliance, a group that helped bring job-creating projects such as Fastracks North Line and the lane improvements to I-25. My top priority is to grow Adams County, invest in our future, and create the good paying jobs in Adams County that our hard working families deserve.

As the fastest growing county in the metropolitan area, my top priority will be to bring good paying jobs to Adams County. I will work to improve the economy and image of this county. It is a good place to live and work and we should be proud.

What is your opinion of a home rule charter, which may eliminate some elected positions?

What do you think about the stormwater utility fee and its implementation?

I support a home rule charter. It gives Adams County local control to structure our government for us rather than relying on a state-mandated system. Home Rule does not automatically eliminate elected positions and I support continuing to elect our representatives.

I believe we can invest in our infrastructure without a fee, and that’s why I voted against the storm water fee and why I have repeatedly advocated for its repeal. Recently I called for an audit into the program, and thankfully that action is moving forward so we can finally get to the bottom of this mess.

I am against Home Rule Charter. A government works best when voters have a say. This change would centralize the power with the county commissioners. The offices of sheriff, clerk and recorder, treasurer, assessor and coroner would be employees rather than elected positions. It will be more expensive.

The question of whether it is a fee or a tax is presently in court. Presently $350 million infrastructure is needed. The fee raises $2 million per year. We need to wait for a decision before moving forward. Implementation was poor. Commissioners needed more outreach and education.

Why are you seeking this office?

What makes you the best person for the job?

What will your top priority be if elected?

I am proud to work, live and raise my family in Adams County. I want to use my experience in business and public service to give back to this community. I am passionate about serving others, committed to families and community, and believe hard work should be rewarded

As a prosecutor, I protected those who played by the rules. I worked in every corner of this county. As a business professional, my job was to create solutions — even where others couldn’t find one. My optimism, professionalism, and experience make me the best person for the job.

Quality of life and economic development are my greatest priorities. We must use our heads to pay for what our hearts want to spend. Economic development is a strong tool in improving quality of life for working families/ neighborhoods because it helps pay for public safety, services to families, parks/ trails, and infrastructure.

The voters just recently approved expanding the board from 3 to 5. We have plenty of work to do without trying to take over other elected officials’ responsibilities. Let’s address this later after we see how five commissioners work together and how they work with other elected officials.

We need a fair, accurate, and transparent solution that addresses water quality, flood protection, and compliance with the unfunded federal mandate. The lawsuit and external audit could provide some guidance. While the cap and credit program may be a good start, I am eager to explore ALL options to provide fairness, accuracy, and transparency.

I want to see the county move in the right direction. A county that is fiscally responsible to enable growth through professionalism allowing the county to attract new businesses which transfers to economic growth and development, benefiting the taxpaying citizens. Also research of new opportunities for energy development.

I am not a politician; I am a lifelong resident of Adams County. I am not a new comer; I have lived and worked in the county my entire life. I am fully vested and rooted in Adams County. I believe in being involved in my community and have been on the board of directors for 20 years on the newly named Adams County Fire Protection District. I feel confident I will take my years of experience in serving the community as a board member to the position of Adams County Commissioner.

I want to see the county grow and prosper by encouraging new businesses growth. The way to accomplish this is through fair and prompt rulings on plan review and approval to start new businesses.

I am not a supporter of the home rule charter. I feel the citizens of Adams County should have the right to vote to see who will be best for the job.

I am in total disagreement with it. I want to repeal the stormwater utility fee and or put it to the vote of the citizens of Adams County. Why should the citizens pay for water that comes from the sky?

What is your opinion of a home rule charter, which may eliminate some elected positions?

What do you think about the stormwater utility fee and its implementation?

I want to make a difference in Adams County. With my life experiences in my community, government, education and a parent, I have a knowledge base that will serve me to find solutions by working with others to resolve issues that confront the people who live in Adams county.

This position requires a person who listen to all sides of the issues and works toward consensus. That is one quality I bring. I’ll utilizes these skills to improve the quality of life for all citizens.

There are several priorities that I will focus on in this position. One is that we have educational, vocational and technical training opportunities to prepare citizens for quality, skilled jobs that we will attract to Adams County.

A home rule charter is a possibility that needs to be explored in the future. However, at this time we need to concentrate on building an effective new five member board of commissioners in cooperation with the newly formed county administration to best serve all people in Adams County.

Due to a suit that has been filed, a district judge will rule whether this is a fee or tax. This will determine the next steps that the commissioners make. I would want a review of the process to see if it is a viable fee that will cover the cost of the mitigation of storm water projects and be fairly executed.

Ever since Adams County made the news far too often in a negative fashion, I began advocating for five commissioners. We were successful in passing that and I would like to be one of the first five. Brighton is the county seat, I already have had a great deal of experience dealing with the county and feel my expertise would benefit the citizens who need fair and balanced representation.

Once again because of my role as mayor of the county seat — I have a great deal of experience with all of the seated mayors in Adams and have been endorsed by them.

Next year’s budget will need to be approved by the end of the year. Making certain tax paying dollars are being used wisely and efficiently. I understand elected officials choose not to meet on a regular basis. That must begin happening to build consensus and be certain we are not duplicating our efforts, but doing what is best for citizens and spending dollars wisely.

I support us weighing all aspects of Home Rule. Brighton went through a similar procedure in the late ‘90s, and it has served the city well.

I do not believe we support growth on the backs of the current citizens. If this is for growth, the new projects need to pay their own way. We need to be certain in all fairness the county residents are being treated no differently than city residents. What is the purpose for the fee?

What is your opinion of a home rule charter, which may eliminate some elected positions?

What do you think about the stormwater utility fee and its implementation?

Mike Coffman

Why do you suppose so many people are fed up with Washington politics and how is your presence going to make a difference in people’s minds?

Is the Affordable Care Act a good law? What changes, if any, need to be made to improve the nation’s health care system?

Both parties spend more time fighting than fixing problems. I don’t have time for the bickering and focus on solutions, including recently authoring and passing a bill with unanimous support to fix the problemplagued Aurora VA hospital project.

It’s a bad law and we need to repeal Obamacare and replace it with a patient-centric system that brings down costs and doesn’t bankrupt our families or country. I did it in Colorado, when I passed landmark legislation protecting patients with pre-existing conditions, banned insurance companies from charging women more than men, and did it without hundreds of thousands of Coloradans having their insurance plans canceled.

I believe immigration reform should secure the borders, grow our economy and be compassionate in keeping families together. I have personally authored legislation to allow children brought here through no fault of their own to earn a path to citizenship through military service.

I think all voters should support my candidacy for the same reason. I work hard to find solutions to the problems my constituents face. I am willing to buck my party to do what I believe is right, from helping pass a stronger version of the Violence Against Women Act to fighting to cut the wasteful spending at the Pentagon.

It’s come much too late, but I support the stronger approach President Obama has belatedly taken. I oppose sending conventional ground forces back into Iraq, but we should support allied groups more vigorously to stamp out those that seek to do us harm.

When I worked with Republican Governor Bill Owens to balance the budget, we’d sometimes disagree, but we never shut down the entire government. That’s the difference between how we get things done in Colorado and how Congress has collapsed as a functioning body. We need more men and women in Congress who are focused on finding common ground to grow the economy and strengthen the middle class. That’s the kind of representative I’ll be.

Congress should be working to fix the ACA, not repeal it. We can’t go back to the days where people were denied insurance coverage because of preexisting conditions, or where women were charged more than men for their health care.

I support comprehensive immigration reform, including a pathway to citizenship. The House has blocked even voting on the Senate’s bipartisan bill — that’s unacceptable to me. I also will vote for the DREAM Act, a bill my opponent called a “nightmare.”

I believe women have a right to make their own health care decisions, and I will vote to protect those rights in Congress. Neither politicians nor employers should get in between a woman and her doctor. I also strongly support equal pay for equal work, which my opponent has opposed at every opportunity.

ISIS poses a grave threat to our country, and its atrocities are an affront to civilization. We must stand shoulder to shoulder in supporting swift and decisive action, not merely to contain this terrorist organization but to eliminate it.

Why are you seeking this office?

Party: Republican Occupation:Small business man Contact: www. ytterbergforcongress.org/ ; don@ ytterbergforcongress.com

What will your top priority be if elected?

Why should women voters support your candidacy over your opponent’s?

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, how would you rate the House’s performance during the 2014 session? Please explain your answer.

Do you support President Obama’s response to ISIS-sponsored terrorism in the Middle East? Why or why not?

What two issues deserve more attention in the 2015 session than they received in 2014? Briefly explain why.

My number-one priority is to represent the hard working people of the 7th CD by having the most responsive office possible. Having grown up and raised my own family in Jeffco, I want to give back to the community that has given me so much.

For nearly eight years I have listened to constituents in the grocery store or on the door step to understand their challenges and needs. I have worked with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass legislation to help working families send their kids to college and save for retirement. I want to continue working to ensure everyone has a fair shot at the American Dream.

One is to create more opportunities for goodpaying jobs by promoting energy security and independence, ensuring continued construction of the new VA Hospital, and keeping manufacturing jobs here at home.

I like to work together to get things done. Recently, Congress passed a bipartisan, short-term budget to avoid a government shutdown. Unfortunately, this kind of bipartisan effort is rare. That’s why I focus on projects that will make a difference, like the new VA Hospital, helping people and businesses cut through the red tape, and hosting events to help seniors, vets and families.

We must make sure all Coloradans feel the improving economy by making higher education more affordable, providing equal pay for equal work, and passing comprehensive immigration reform.

I will work for my constituents, not Washington special interests. For too long, Congressional incumbents have ignored those unable to find full-time jobs resulting in families struggling to make ends meet. As a small businessman, I know what it takes to grow a small business and put people to work.

We need to unleash America’s economic engine. I know the obstacles that all too often are thrown in the way of job creation. Small businesses are swimming upstream against high taxes, over-restrictive regulations and unreasonable health care demands. Congress should earnestly participate in supporting job growthnot be bystanders.

I will serve on the Small Business Committee because America’s small businesses create an overwhelming majority of new jobs, but their needs get overlooked. Our education community also needs to focus on students future jobs. A K-12 education should prepare children to find a rewarding career that provides financial security.

A 2. Current Members of Congress are guilty of ignoring critical issues because of the possible impact on their re-election campaigns. Members are expected to make difficult decisions. My pledge to constituents is that I will always work to enact policy most beneficial to you and your families.

Improving the economy and educating our workforce are critically important. When people don’t receive a good education, they don’t get good jobs. When people don’t have jobs, they don’t spend money. When people don’t spend money, the economy doesn’t grow and new jobs aren’t created.

Why are you seeking this office?

What makes you the best person for the job?

What will your top priority be if elected?

What is one change that can make the office you seek run more efficiently?

What else should voters know about you?

I want Jefferson County to be safe. I want our schools to be safe for the sake of our children and grandchildren. I want to maintain an environment where local business thrives. And, I want to ensure our individual rights and freedoms are protected.

I am an experienced leader with a demonstrated record of commitment to service and safety. I am the only candidate: Currently in law enforcement, who is a statecertified peace officer, with a track record of proven leadership and effectiveness and with command, administrative, managerial and executive experience and training.

While JCSO has been effective in its mission, the high rate of deputy sheriff attrition, as well as in other job classifications, must be addressed. I will work diligently with my staff, and I will continue to work with the county commissioners, to address this so that Jefferson County remains safe.

The Sheriff’s Office needs to be both effective and efficient to best ensure that Jefferson County is kept safe. I will be: 1) Streamlining command level positions to best allocate valuable resources. 2) Collaborating with public safety partners to regionalize appropriate services to reduce duplication and taxpayer burden.

I am well-respected in the public safety community. Some of those who endorse me are: Ted Mink, Jefferson County Sheriff Pete Weir, District Attorney — Jefferson and Gilpin Counties; Ron Beckham, Jefferson County Sheriff (retired); and Dr. Jerry Williams, Chief of Police (retired); Fraternal Order of Police — West Metro Lodge 18

Most, if not all past candidates for Jeffco sheriff have either been appointed or have run unopposed, this has resulted in rampant cronyism within the most important elected law enforcement position in America, it is time to give the people a clear choice, business as usual or constitutionally principled leadership.

I am not a bureaucrat or politician, I have real world experience in law enforcement and the private sector as a small business owner and educator. To find out more about my opponent google Shrader/Columbine shootings. Then you make the choice who is the best person for this job!

Accountability, there are deeply troubling issues within the sheriff department, and it is not just salary related as this administration wants you to believe. Retention and attrition of sworn deputies is costing taxpayers millions. I will make it a desirable place to start a career again.

I have many Ideas on improving efficiency listed on my website, but the one thing that shouts inefficiency is the A.P.C. acquired by the department — an armored, tracked, 6 person vehicle that has to be semi trailered to locations. Militarization should not be in local law enforcement, uniform cameras should be.

Over 33 years of experience, in law enforcement and the private sector have provided me with the leadership skills required to overcome problems and improve existing conditions at the Jefferson County Sheriff department. For more info on other topics, visit my Website, Facebook or Twitter.

The sheriff’s office needs to go in a different direction. The attrition rate is out of control. We need a person from outside the department to take control and bring it back to the elite department it was in the 1970s and ‘80s.

First, I’m not a politician. I have experience working with the public all of my life. My parents owned a service station and restaurants. I have supervised people almost of my adult life. I have prior law enforcement experience.

My under sheriff and I will work to get the attrition rate under control and increase the morale in order to keep the deputies on the street. Bring back integrity back to Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department.

I will look at the amount of supervisor’s positions we have in the department from Lieutenants on up to the Division Chief’s. Jefferson County is known for being top heavy.

I will work with the citizens of Jefferson County to make our county as safe as we all can. I will be the face of Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department. I want to be accessible to the citizens and to the deputies. Without integrity you have no justice.

What makes you the best person for the job?

What will your top priority be if elected?

What is one change that can make the office you seek run more efficiently?

What else should voters know about you?

I am seeking the office of Clerk and Recorder because I am the most qualified. I worked in the office for 24 years before being elected as clerk and recorder. I held positions as a registration clerk, C & R Liaison, director of Motor Vehicle and Elections, chief deputy clerk and recorder and elected clerk and recorder for eight years.

I worked with the IT Department to computerize all the departments in the clerk’s office. Jefferson County was the first in the state to do this. I planned and ran the first all mail ballot election. Most of my instructions are still used today. I am continually looking for new methods to modernize the office.

Getting updated with the new election laws that were passed in 2013 and 2014. Working with employees on any changes they think are necessary and becoming certified with the State and any other certifications needed.

One change may be to have a faster way of accounting for and depositing the funds we receive in all the departments. This procedure would immediately take the funds from checking accounts and balancing would be quicker.

I have a proven record of honesty, integrity and the love of Jefferson County. My knowledge of Jeffco is a great asset. I have always cared and appreciated the employees and thank them for their contributions and suggestions. Without them I could do nothing. I thank the citizens for their support through the years.

As a longtime advocate of election integrity and government accountability, I believe government can provide better customer service to citizens. I want to be the Clerk and Recorder to continue modernizing our elections, to maximize voter participation and to ensure that every eligible voter has the same fair ability to register and vote on Election Day.

I have successfully administered elections and managed government operations. I also understand the technology and challenges to continue modernizing our elections safely and with fairness. I am passionate for this job and will complete the full four years of my term, if elected. I will not leave the position to be filled by a partisan vacancy committee as my opponent has done once before and now proposes to do again.

Top priorities will be to constantly improve customer service at Motor Vehicle and other Clerk offices, to increase voter participation and to improve communication with the public.

I am not seeking this office to change it, but to continue the excellent management and leadership of the current Clerk and Recorder. I will continue to improve customer service at Motor Vehicle and other offices by exploring ways to decrease employee turnover.

As a leader in Jefferson County, I have earned a reputation of courageously standing on the side of the people. I am committed to improving government’s reputation through open cooperation and communication with its citizens. I am dedicated to being the citizen’s advocate for good government in Jefferson County.

Jeffco County Assessor candidates

Why are you seeking this office?

What makes you the best person for the job?

What will your top priority be if elected?

What is one change that can make the office you seek run more efficiently?

To continue to represent the residents of Jeffco with the highest level of honesty, integrity and vision along with a strong focus on job creation and fiscal responsibility. We have accomplished many great things but we have much more to do.

My professional engineering background complimented by my private business experience and then coupled with my proven positive leadership and performance along with my work ethic as the current commissioner makes me the best candidate for the job.

A balanced budget, our aging population and transportation. The county must be fiscally responsible while providing critical services that residents of Jeffco rely on. We strive to achieve that balance between safe neighborhoods, road repair, snow plowing, open space, library services, individuals in need, county and district courts, and services to our aging population.

I will continue to break down the silos that stand in the way of a streamlined government while eliminating the onerous regulations that are hindering our economic recovery.

I feel strongly about giving back to the community I have called home my entire life. I am a lacrosse coach, Sunday school teacher, community build volunteer and volunteer board member. I am an active member of the community who shows up and is involved.

I am running to protect quality of life and investments we have all made in Jefferson County. We need local solutions to challenges faced in Jeffco. The county needs a strategic plan to guide the departments, to include the master (land use) plan, the open space plan and the economic development plan.

The job requires a leader who can plan strategically, collaborate with elected officials and community leaders, analyze complex problems, and implement solutions. The commissioners must produce budgets that reflect our values and apply the law fairly. The long-time leaders in our county are convinced I am prepared for the job. See JohnFlerlage. com/endorsements.

The top priority in Jefferson County is community safety. The Sheriff’s Department has lost approximately 100 deputies to attrition in the last 18 months. Lack of planning and poor budgeting is costing $125,000 per new recruit. I will work with the sheriff to stop this excessive attrition.

The county does not have a strategic plan. I will, in collaboration with the other elected officials and leaders, develop a plan that guides and integrates our open space plan, our economic development plan, our Comprehensive Master Plan and all county departments’ plans.

We moved to the Columbine community as I was ending my Marine Corps service because of the schools, open space and quality of life. I co-founded the CHS hockey club, coaching children for years. I have the support of Democrats, Republicans and independent voters.

I enjoy helping people to succeed. As a formally trained mediator, it gives me great satisfaction to help people come together and resolve issues. My life experiences and my attention to others will bring needed improvement in county issues, and that I can better represent you.

I’m engaged, attended every commissioner meeting since November. I strive to be impartial and neutral for all residents, developers and business owners in county matters. I’m Unaffiliated, refuse campaign donations and have strong perseverance to hear all sides and issues. I’m not afraid to have board meetings at night, for residents to easily attend.

The budget concerns me deeply, approved before I would take office. I may not be able to make any collaborative efforts with the departments. Predecessors claimed budget tightening last year, then spent $690,000 to doll up County Building sidewalks with artistic pavers and monuments. Infrastructure, sheriff’s vehicles and jail modifications need attention.

Better oversight of the Planning and Zoning Department, by creating better procedures and possible overhaul of the zoning resolutions. I’ve seen and heard commissioners plus other employees having trouble understanding and adhering to some of these rules.

I endure to make the best of things, and to make it right. My work has revolved around process and procedure improvement, building quality systems. I’ve helped teach over 1,500 people conflict resolution skills. A commissioner’s job deals with conflict from many fronts. Diffusing tension and collaborating are skill sets that are needed.

What is one change that can make the office you seek run more efficiently?

What else should voters know about you?

Why are you seeking this office?

What makes you the best person for the job?

To restore the taxpayers confidence in how the assessor’s office conducts the valuation process for all types of property; residential, commercial, and agricultural.

I have 35 years experience in representing taxpayers in disputes with the assessor’s office. I have nearly 15 years of experience managing staffs of five to 25 individuals. I have extensive knowledge of the statutes regulating property taxation and have worked closely with the legislature in formulating property tax statutes.

To direct the staff to become more responsive to the taxpayers by utilizing a courteous approach to handling the questions and needs of each individual taxpayer. Every taxpayer who comes into the office more than likely has a unique problem. The staff needs to handle each issue as if it were their own.

Reducing the limit it takes for abatement and refund petitions to be processed. Currently they can take more than a year. This is well beyond the statutory time frame of six months. This can save taxpayer millions in interest.

I am a conscientious individual. For years I have represented taxpayers property issues as if I owned the property myself. I have always looked at issues honestly and have never misrepresented an issue when testifying. Honesty and integrity are always the best policy and I would expect no less from my staff and myself.

An assessor plays a critical role. From schools to roads, property taxes are responsible for all funding in the county. All budgets throughout the county relied on the assessor to fairly and professionally value all the real estate in the county. Property taxation can be very confusing; I want to lead a fair, transparent and helpful office.

My combination of business and government experience makes me the only qualified candidate.

It will be my goal to make the Jefferson County Assessor’s office the best in the state. I feel strongly about transparency and customer service. I want property owners in the county to feel that they can come in or call any time they have questions.

The current staff is doing a great job. However, the Assessor’s and Treasurer’s offices are upgrading computer systems. Any time there is a very large change in a computer system there will be challenges. The new system will be a huge game changer and will help not only the tax payer but all of the other groups who work with the assessor office. Training, education, and feedback will be key to prolonged success.

Real estate is an industry where consumers often feel undereducated and rely heavily on industry professionals for guidance. As an elected representative, I want to serve as a resource. If you believe the Assessor is incorrect, I urge you to express the facts so we can arrive at values that are reasonable, fair and reflect the market.

I seek to serve our community for four years and then go back to the private sector. I believe I can make an immediate impact in improving internal operations and county government’s image to the public.

I have the most length of experience and education in the property tax industry which includes previous tenure of 5-years in the Jefferson County Assessor’s office, industry property tax consulting with a national firm, corporate tax and accounting, and an independent property tax and real estate consulting business.

To evaluate and implement the assessor’s projects to include: a 6-year Thomson Reuters/Manatron software implementation which the county commissioners appropriated over $5 million of resources to complete.

All of the assessor’s duties are statutorily defined. The assessor’s job is to impose and enforce the state’s laws upon the local property taxpayers. I will make efforts to make the appeals process as least cost prohibitive as possible for taxpayers.

I will make every effort to uphold the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights to include protecting your appeal rights afforded by your constitutional right of due process. Every person paying taxes should have a voice in how much they are paying.

What makes you the best person for the job?

What will your top priority be if elected?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the Legislature’s performance during the 2014 session?

What two issues deserve more attention in the 2015 session than they received in 2014?

As a legislator, I have been responsive to the people in my district through my town meetings, coffees, newsletters and responding to constituent needs. The people in my district want a legislator that works in a bipartisan manner. I have worked to find that reasonable path, not the partisan road. I helped our families and children by developing a Colorado mental health crisis response system, supported our education system and helped bring jobs to Colorado.

My top priority will be to help our economy grow to create a flourishing small business environment so that our families have the jobs they need to support their families. I will also support a quality education for our children, support our mental health system.

A 9. We supported our children by investing over $500 million dollars in our education system. Our economic policies have made Colorado the fastest growing economy and reduced our unemployment rate to 5.3 percent from 9 percent.

We need to continue to invest in our mental health system to ensure that people suffering from serious mental health get the treatment they need. We also need to ensure that everyone is benefiting from the economic recovery and that our job growth is stabilized.

What makes you the best person for the job?

What will your top priority be if elected?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the Legislature’s performance during the 2014 session?

What two issues deserve more attention in the 2015 session than they received in 2014?

As a business owner and grandmother, I am concerned about where Colorado is headed. I want Colorado to be a great place to do business, for businesses to thrive and succeed, a place that attracts new business. I want families to have choices about their children’s education and their health care.

I have small business ownership experience. I’m a lifelong resident of Colorado, and a lifelong conservative. I’m doing this for my grandkids. I believe in smaller government, lower taxes, liberty and citizens’ and states’ rights. I’m not a professional politician. And Colorado desperately needs a change in direction.

To examine laws passed by previous legislatures for necessity and the proper role of government. I will work to undo what is determined to be overreach by the state government. I will work to deregulate business where necessary. I will work to restore liberty, citizens’ rights and states’ rights.

I would give the 2014 legislature a rating of 1. There was no bipartisanship in the legislature or with the governor. The Democrats’ agenda was forced onto Colorado businesses and families, despite lots of testimony against certain bills. The legislature was also involved in picking winners and losers in business.

A free-market economy and liberty. The legislature was intent on picking winners in business, instead of letting businesses all compete equally. They tried to close free-standing Emergency Rooms, as a way of promoting a single payer system. They assaulted citizens’ liberties on many fronts, including health care choices, immunizations, etc.

It’s a natural extension of my work on the Arvada City Council, in which I focused on improving our residents’ quality of life. I have interacted for years with the people of Senate District 19, and I believe I’m in the best position to help move our great state forward.

In my position as Arvada City Councilwoman and in my capacity on a multitude of volunteer and civic organizations, I have devoted myself to the betterment of the people in this area. My experience has allowed me to achieve real results.

I will continue to focus on the “Three E’s” of Education, Economy and the Elderly, because I know from discussions with residents of Senate District 19 that these are highly important issues. I will also stay engaged in issues pertaining to marijuana, protection for children, healthcare and transportation.

I would say the legislature deserves an 8, because we were able to set aside partisan politics to resolve important issues such as college affordability, disaster response and public school funding. But I know all my colleagues believe we can do even better in the 2015 session.

Why are you seeking this office? I am running for re-election after my first term to represent the families, small business owners, workers and children because everyone deserves a level playing field and a fair shot at the American Dream. That means a quality education, a flourishing small business environment and an accessible representative at the state Capitol.

Why are you seeking this office?

The Legislature’s attention to various matters usually evolves naturally, and now I think we can expect some serious discussion and possible action on fracking issues, housing, wage equality, and a resumption of the discussion on school funding.

A LEGACY DENIED

LEFT: Legacy freshman Gianna Ball sides into third base against Columbine which clinched a berth in next weekend’s state tournament. RIGHT: Legacy’s Kamryn Brothers gets a hit during the 8-0 loss to the Columbine Rebels at the softball regional tournament held on Saturday at Broomfield Industrial Park. Photos by Pam Wagner The Legacy softball team came into the regional tournament last weekend at Broomfield Industrial Park as the defending 5A champion of 2013. But the team faced fierce competition, and was eliminated with two losses on the day. Both Douglas County and Columbine shut out the Lightning, 7-0 and 8-0 respectively. Both those teams would go on to qualify for state.

Legacy tops Fossil Ridge By Scott Stocker It was time well spent for Legacy in the first quarter in its homecoming football game against Fossil Ridge last Friday. Ironically, it was a quarter that took 46 minutes to play. Three quarters later Legacy had come through with a 54-20 victory against visiting Fossil Ridge, improving to 5-2 on the season. Fossil Ridge fell to 4-3. Legacy, coached by Wayne Voorhees, scored 26 points in the quarter before Fossil Ridge was able to get on the scoreboard, also in the first quarter. And, it didn’t take long to get started. Fossil Ridge kicked off to Legacy to begin the game. From there, it only took the Lightning five plays to strike. With 10-minutes, :54-seconds left in the opening quarter, quarterback Matt Lynch finished the short drive with a nine-yard run. Kicker Hunter Rainwater added the first of his seven extra points. It was a solid night for Lynch as he would complete nine passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns and rush for an additional 105-yards on 12 carries. “We stayed with our game plan,” Lynch said. “The game was not just me tonight, but our entire team. We are playing better each week now and that’s just the way we want to handle it. Our defense play was good and offensively, we were able to mix it up a lot. I felt pretty good about the way I handled the football and help us move it.” On the first play following the ensuing kickoff, Fossil Ridge quarterback Mitch Salmela had his pass intercepted by Legacy’s Evan Baugh at the Sabercat’s 28-yard line and returned to the six. On the very next play, Conner Connolly scored for Legacy with 10:38 remaining and a 14-0 lead. “This was a big game for us, also because it is Homecoming,” said Connolly, who would finish the game with 79-yard rushing. “We all put out for this one and wanted to do well for all concerned. We were able to move the ball and take advantage of their mistakes. We just wanted to do well, no doubts about it.” Fossil Ridge was only able to run five plays following the kickoff and again, Baugh proved to be a thief, intercepting Salmela’s second pass of the game at the Sabercat’s 38. It took a little more time to score this time, but the visitors only gave up a 30yard field goal to Rainwater with 7:04 on the clock. Now, it was time for Fossil Ridge to score. It took the Sabercats nine plays, with the help of a Legacy penalty, to get on the scoreboard. Salmela passed six times in the drive and finished it with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Ethan Limon with 4:08 on the clock. Fans were probably starting to wonder when this first quarter would end. Now, with 1:54 left in the first quarter, Legacy would take over the football on the Fossil Ridge 41-yard line. Four plays later, and with :42-seconds on the clock, K.J. Robinson would score on a 17-yard run.

Fossil Ridge would punt on its next possession with 11:14 left in second. This time, it would take Legacy a lot longer to score. Connolly would conclude the 10-play drive with a one-yard touchdown and with 6:31 left in the second quarter, the Lightning had a 31-6 lead. Just three plays into its next possession, Fossil Ridge would fumble, to be recovered by Legacy’s Jack Reed at the Sabercat’s 19-yard line. The Lightning had another opportunity to score, but this time a 32-yard field goal attempt by Rainwater would fail. It didn’t get any better for Fossil Ridge following the intermission. The Sabercats fumbled on the first play following the opening game kick off of the third quarter. The ball was recovered by Legacy’s Logan Paulson at the visitor’s 18-yard line and the Lightning was ready to strike again. Four plays later, Lynch passed 1-yard to Quinten Rodriquez for the touchdown. Now, with 10:09 left in the third quarter, Legacy led 38-6. With 2:13 left in the third quarter Lynch would connect with Kai Ahmadu for a 1-yard touchdown. Following Rainwater’s kick, Legacy led 45-6. Now, fans were most likely thinking the Lighting could get a running clock going. It wasn’t about to happen as Fossil Ridge would score on a 54-yard run by Sprayberry with :38 left in the third quarter. The try for point failed with Legacy leading 45-13. “We just came out flat and we couldn’t seem to work together in the early part of the game,” Sprayberry said. “We couldn’t protect the ball. We were balanced more in the second half and we were able to feed off each other. We just didn’t have enough tonight.” Each team would score one more time in the fourth quarter. Connolly scored his third touchdown of the game on another one-yard run. Fossil Ridge would score on an 8-yard pass from Salmela to Cole Schilling. Voorhees was more than pleased with the way his team played, Homecoming and all taken into consideration. He was also pleased with the seven sacks his kids came through with, three by Derek Coleman. “I’m just proud of the way the boys came out and played tonight,” Voorhees said. “We’re excited about the way the season is going for us right now and we just want to keep it going.” Fossil Ridge coach Brian Tinker was left shaking his head back-and-fourth. “They were just a lot better team than were tonight,” Tinker said. “I think the boys played hard and Legacy had a good effort against us. We had four turnovers inside the 30-yard line and that didn’t help at all. We just couldn’t do the things that we should have.” Legacy travels to Monarch (4-3) to play the Coyotes in a 5A Front Range test on Friday, Oct. 17, while Fossil Ridge will host Fairview.

Parker Continued from Page 12

the groundbreaking last week of Topgolf, an innovative indoor golf facility with extra strokes such as three floors with 102 practice bays, 200-plus HDTVs, a rooftop terrace and the kind of menu you only wished they served at your favorite golf course. Rizzi posted on his Facebook page: “Went to the groundbreaking of Topgolf (www.topgolf.com/us/centennial) in Centennial (10601 E. Easter Ave.). And `groundbreaking’ describes the concept. The facility — one of 22 in the world — portends to redefine the golf experience with 102 climate-controlled bays, microchipped balls to hit at lighted targets on an outdoor range, top-shelf food and drink and all kinds of flat-screens and event space to keep non-golfers entertained. It’s gonna be great when it opens next (spring).” Even non-golfers will be entertained with all the TVs and an extensive menu of food and fancy cocktails — even brunch and a kids’ menu. You can sign up for mobile updates on the facility at the website mentioned above.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF OCT 13 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A changing situation calls for a change in plans. Although you might prefer the schedule you had already worked up, you could do better by agreeing to make the needed adjustments. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) That once seemingly rock-solid proposition you favored might be hiding some serious flaws. Take time to check it more carefully and question anything that seems out of kilter. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Finish up those lingering tasks so that you can then arrange to spend some time in quiet reflection. This will go a long way in restoring both your physical and spiritual energies.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A family situation could heat up and boil over unless you deal with it as soon as possible. Try to persuade other family members to work with you to help cool things down. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Cheer up, Kitty Cat! That low feeling will begin to ebb by midweek, and you should be back in the social swirl in time for the weekend. A long-postponed deal could be starting up again. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Going too fast and too far on too little knowledge could be risky. Best to slow down and check for any gaps in your information. It’s what you don’t know that could hurt you. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Trying to make peace among quarreling family members, friends or colleagues can be tough. Expect some resistance, maybe even some expressions of resentment. But stay with it. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Changing your mind doesn’t have to be a problem once you realize that you might have good and sufficient cause to do so. Make your explanations clear and complete. Good luck. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) An unkept promise can be irksome and easily raise the Archer’s ire. But instead of getting into a confrontation, take time to check why someone you relied on came up short. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A new workplace distraction creates an unnecessary delay. The sooner you deal with it, the better for all concerned. A personal matter also should be attended to as soon as possible. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Once again, the Aquarian’s gift for applying both practical and creative methods to resolve a situation makes all the difference. Personal relationships thrive during the weekend. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A relationship appears to be losing its once-strong appeal for reasons that might be different from what you think. An open and honest talk could lead to some surprising revelations. BORN THIS WEEK: Your life is bound by your belief that character counts more than anything else. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

To make a finding and enter a ruling that 14.53 c.f.s. of the Jim Baker Reservoir Exchange from the outlet of Jim Baker Reservoir to the headgate of the Farmers’ High Line Canal has been diverted by exchange consistent with the requirements of the decree in Case No. 99CW207, placed to beneficial use and is therefore ABSOLUTE; that 10.47 c.f.s. of said exchange remains conditionally decreed between these two relevant exchange points; and, that the entirety of the conditionally decreed Jim Baker Reservoir Exchange to the Church Ditch and Croke Canal headgates remains conditionally decreed. 3. To make a finding of reasonable diligence as to the entirety of the remaining conditional exchanges originally adjudicated in Case No. 99CW207 and providing that a subsequent showing of diligence be made six years from the date of entry of a decree of diligence in this matter; 4. To enter a judgment and decree that Westminster has been reasonably diligent in the development of the conditional exchanges originally adjudicated in Case No. 99CW207; and, 5. Any other ruling the Court deems appropriate in the above-captioned matter.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO APPLICATION FOR FIDING OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE AND TO MAKE THE WATER RIGHT ABSOLUTE IN ADAMS COUNTY. 2. First Amendment: Applicant filed its original application for a finding of reasonable diligence and to make a portion of its water rights for the 124th Avenue Storage Pond (“124th Avenue Reservoir”) absolute on April 30, 2014 (the “Original Application”). Following the filing of the Original Application, Applicant’s undersigned counsel and engineers determined that during the diligence period and immediately thereafter Applicant was able to store and place to beneficial use the total claimed amount as set forth in Paragraph 5 herein. Accordingly, this First Amendment amends and supercedes the Original Application by 1) increasing the amount of water rights being claimed as absolute, and 2) providing evidence that Applicant was able to perfect the water right and make the total 1,000 a.f. storage water right and the 15 cfs flow rate absolute. 3. Name of Structure(s). 124th Avenue Storage Pond (“124th Avenue Reservoir”). 4. Describe conditional water right including the following information from previous decree: 4.1. Date of Original Decree: April 14, 2008, Case No. 2002CW234, District Court, Water Division No. 1, State of Colorado. 4.2. Legal Description/Location of Dam: The 124th Avenue Reservoir is a lined gravel pit and no dam exists. In order to provide a legal description a “dam measurement point” was selected, which is located in the NW1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 35, Township 1 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., in Adams County, 2,400 feet from the South section lines and 2,095 feet from the East section lines. The 124th Avenue Reservoir is located in the NW1/4 of the SE1/4 and the NE1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 35, Township 1 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., in Adams County. Both the dam measurement point and the location of the 124th Avenue Reservoir are shown on the map attached hereto as Figure 1. 4.3. Source: South Platte River. 4.4. Point of Diversion: The water right is diverted from the South Platte River via the Fulton Irrigation Ditch (“Ditch”) for storage in the 124th Avenue Reservoir. The capacity of the Ditch is 230 cfs. The decreed point of diversion for the Fulton Ditch headgate is located near Section 9, between Sections 16 and 17, Township 2 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M. The actual headgate location is in the NE1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 17, Township 2 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M. 4.6. Appropriation Date: April 2, 2002. 4.7. Amount: 1,000 acre feet, CONDITIONAL, with a maximum rate of diversion for filling of 15 cfs, CONDITIONAL. 4.7. Use: The water may be used directly or by exchange, and to extinction, for all municipal uses, including but not limited to domestic, mechanical manufacturing, industrial, fire protection, sewage treatment, street sprinkling, irrigation of parks, lawns and grounds, augmentation and replacement, substitute supply, adjustment and regulation of municipal water systems, including further exchange with municipal water systems and with other water users, within the City of Brighton’s service area as it may exist both now and in the future. Brighton may also use the water for irrigating lawns and grounds within its municipal service area as it may exist now and in the future. 5. Claim to make absolute– water applied to beneficial use: 6.1. During the diligence period, Applicant stored and placed to beneficial use a total of 930.91 acre feet in the 124th Avenue Reservoir during free river conditions that occurred from March 1, 2014 through April 1, 2014. The flow rate utilized to exercise the water right during this free river time was 15 cfs. In addition, immediately following the diligence period, Applicant was able to divert, store and place to beneficial use an additional amount of water totaling 69.09 acre feet during free river times that occurred from May 14, 2014 through May 19, 2014 and on August 26, 2014. The maximum flow rate of diversion for filling the reservoir during these free river conditions was 7.00 cfs. Accordingly, pursuant to C.R.S. §37-92-301(4) and (5), Applicant claims as ABSOLUTE, for all decreed uses, 1,000 acre feet at a flow rate of 15.00 cfs for the 124th Avenue Reservoir. 6. Outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures, during the previous diligence period: By this First Amendment, Applicant is increasing the amount claimed as absolute for the storage right and flow rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Court finds that any portion of the water rights remains conditional, Applicant reserves the right to claim that portion as conditional and, accordingly, submits that the following has been done toward the completion of the appropriation: 6.1. During the diligence period, Brighton completed the design and construction of the diversion structure into the 124th Avenue Reservoir, the 124th Avenue Pump Station and Gravity Line, and the 124th Avenue Augmentation Station off of the Fulton Ditch at a total cost of approximately $2,600,000. Brighton also spent more than $40,000 on maintenance and repair to the 124th Avenue Reservoir and associated structures, including without limitation maintaining the access road around the perimeter of the 124th Avenue Reservoir, replacing a meter on the diversion structure on the reservoir, and upgrading access to the pump houses. 6.2. The 124th Avenue Reservoir water right also is part of Brighton’s integrated municipal water supply system that is being constructed to supply water to the City of Brighton for municipal and other purposes. During the diligence period, Brighton engaged in the following efforts towards de-

imately $2,600,000. Brighton also spent more than $40,000 on maintenance and repair to the 124th Avenue Reservoir and associated structures, including without limitation maintaining the access road around the perimeter of the 124th Avenue Reservoir, replacing a meter on the diversion structure on the reservoir, and upgrading access to the pump houses. 6.2. The 124th Avenue Reservoir water right also is part of Brighton’s integrated municipal water supply system that is being constructed to supply water to the City of Brighton for municipal and other purposes. During the diligence period, Brighton engaged in the following efforts towards developing its integrated municipal water supply system: 6.2.1. Brighton completed design and construction of diversion and conveyance structures as part of its integrated municipal water system to move share water from the Fulton Ditch and the Brighton Lateral to the North Storm Drain Outfall. The Brighton Lateral Augmentation Station and associated pipeline, which diverts and carries water from the Brighton Lateral to carriage structures below the Midland Augmentation Station, was completed during the diligence period in 2008. The approximate cost of the Brighton Lateral Augmentation Station and carriage pipes was $175,000. 6.2.2. Brighton also constructed three diversion structures and associated gravity lines that convey share water to Ken Mitchell Lakes for storage, direct augmentation through the lakes, or for exchange from Ken Mitchell Lakes to upstream points, as part of the development of Brighton’s integrated municipal water system. The first diversion structure is the Fulton Lateral Augmentation Station and pipeline outfall into the 148th Avenue Gravity Pipeline leading to Ken Mitchell. The second structure is a diversion off of the main branch of the Fulton Ditch that outfalls into the 148th Avenue Gravity Pipeline. The last is a diversion structure off of the Brighton Lateral that is located at the top of the 148th Avenue Gravity Pipeline. The 148th Avenue Gravity Pipeline picks up water from these three diversion structures and then outfalls into Ken Mitchell Lakes, as part of Brighton’s integrated municipal water supply system. The 148th Avenue Gravity Pipeline and associated diversion structures were designed and constructed at an approximate cost of $4,000,000. 6.2.3. In addition, during this diligence period, Brighton continued to develop its conditional water rights associated with Ken Mitchell Lakes, which is part of Brighton’s integrated municipal water system. The Ken Mitchell Lakes project encompasses three main phases designated by Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3 of Ken Mitchell Lakes. Cell 3 was constructed and lined during the diligence period and completed in early 2014 (Cell 1 was completed in the fall of 2004 and a pump station was completed in 2007). Overall, Applicant has spent a substantial sum, totaling more than $6,000,000, in engineering fees, construction fees and consulting fees towards the completion of its Ken Mitchell Lakes project. 6.2.4. Brighton also acquired Erger’s Pond during the diligence period, and the obligations associated with the enlargement of the pond and obtaining and maintaining the water right decrees for the pond. Brighton expended approximately $3,500,000 in related costs and expenses towards the acquisition of Erger’s Pond, as part of its integrated municipal water system. 6.2.5. Brighton also obtained decrees in Case No. 2009CW144 and Case No. 2004CW174, District Court, Water Division No. 1, on February 1, 2013 and February 27, 2013 respectively. Both decrees further develop Brighton’s unified municipal water system and include the right to store water represented by Brighton’s changed water rights in the 124th Avenue Reservoir. Case No. 04CW174 also allows Brighton to operate exchanges from 124th Avenue Reservoir. Brighton also obtained a decree in Case No. 2003CW320 on July 2, 2014 for a change of its shares of stock in the Barr Lake Division of the Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company and shares of stock in the Burlington Ditch, Reservoir and Land Company (“Changed Water Rights”), and also approved Brighton’s Beebe Draw Augmentation Plan, among other things. The decree in Case No. 2003CW320 permits Brighton to store the Changed Water Rights in the 124th Avenue Reservoir. Brighton also participated as an objector in various Water Court cases to protect its water rights, including the subject conditional water right, from injury by other water users. In total, Brighton spent in excess of $3,500,000 obtaining these decrees and participating as an objector in Water Court cases. 6.3. Applicant reserves the right to assert and demonstrate that during the diligence period other or additional activities have been undertaken or accomplished toward completion of the appropriation. 7. Names(s) and address(es) of owner(s) or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool. The headgate for filling the storage structure is on property owned by the Fulton Ditch Company, 25 South 4th Avenue, Brighton, Colorado 80601. All other structures are owned by Applicant, City of Brighton, Attn: Curtis Bauers, Director of Utilities, 500 S. 4th Street, Brighton, Colorado 80601. WHEREFORE, Brighton spectfully requests the Court to enter a decree: A. Finding that Brighton has proceeded with reasonable diligence toward the completion of the appropriations of water rights conditionally decreed for the storage of water in the 124th Avenue Reservoir; B. Finding that pursuant to C.R.S. §37-92301(4) and (5), Brighton has exercised its water rights for the 124th Avenue Reservoir storage right in the amount of 1,000.00 acre feet ABSOLUTE and at a rate of 15.00 cfs ABSOLUTE, for all decreed uses, as further described herein; and C. Finding that in the event the Court concludes that any portion of the water right being claimed as absolute by this First Amendment remains conditional, continuing any remaining amounts as CONDITIONAL and in full force and effect for an additional diligence period. 7 pages.

Aronson spreading the word By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com For newly-running House District 27 candidate, Niles Aronson, the election is about educating constituents — not gathering votes. “I view my campaign as more of an education platform, rather than getting people to vote for me,” he said. An Illinois native, Aronson moved to Colorado a little under a decade ago, and over the past four years has lived in various aspects of Jefferson County. Prior to this campaign, Aronson spent time in business school and working throughout the county. Now working in the retail industry and an active volunteer with both current and past ballot issues, he said he wants to help constituents live their lives

separate from government. “I don’t want to bother them (voters) with legislation and laws,” he said. “I want to help them live their lives without government involvement — and that’s what I promise to do.” Specifically, Aronson mentioned the increased militarization of law enforcement and the regulation on the marijuana industry as two examples of an overreaching government. “Aside from the fact that I’m a standalone candidate, I’m very much a believer that the government should not be involved in our lives whatsoever,” he said. “I want you to be free in both your economic and personal life.” If elected, Aronson said he would focus on decreasing government pay, limit spending, and increase the control
