Student sets himself on fire during suicide attempt By Ashley Reimers
areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com An apparent suicide attempt at Standley Lake High School left one student severely burned and in critical condition. The 16-year-old male student entered the school cafeteria early Monday morning and set himself on fire. His name is not being released by police at this time. The student was transported to an area hospital after a male custodian used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. Investigator Cheri Spottke said no other students were harmed, but one female employee did suffer a minor laceration during the incident. Seniors Shaylene Kole and Shannon Heer didn’t know the student personally and were in class during the incident, but agreed the news of the suicide attempt was frightening and shock-
ing. Kole said she immediately burst into tears when she found out. “It’s really sad and scary,” Kole said. “It’s been tough to deal with. It’s a little nerve-racking going back to class.” Classes were cancelled for the remainder of the day Monday, as well as for the following day. Students were able to pick up any belongings from the school Tuesday or to seek counseling following the incident. Police investigators searched the school with dogs room-by-room to ensure the safety of school and confirmed that no other devices were left in the school. Spottke said investigators are speaking with family members, students and faculty to try and figure out the cause of the incident and to also ensure nothing was missed behind the scenes. She said police are investigating a
suicide note, which will not be released to the public. “Right now everything leans towards a suicide attempt, unless something takes us into a completely different direction,” she said. According to fire officials, the student suffered burns to 80 percent of his body. The fire didn’t not cause much damage to the building, although smoke did fill the area. Spottke said an incident like this one is truly shocking. “We never want this to happen at any school, especially one in our community,” she said. “It’s difficult. School should be a place for learning and a safe place, not a place where students have to deal with something like this for the rest of their lives.” The Jefferson Center for Mental Health is offering mental health services through a 24-hour service at 303-425-0300 for any student or adult in need of counseling.
Although classes were cancelled, students were allowed back into Standley Lake High School on Tuesday to grab belongings or to seek counseling after a student lit himself on fire Monday morning in the cafeteria. Classes, school activities and athletics resumed on Wednesday. Photo by Ashley Reimers
Wage theft bill advances Bill provides government avenue for workers’ pay claims By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill that would create a governmental process that deals with workers’ claims of wage theft cleared its first legislative hurdle on Jan. 22, a year after similar legislation failed. The issue can affect those who work in contract labor positions and industry service employees, such as restaurant wait staff, according to testimony heard in Senate Judiciary Committee. The Wage Protection Act aims to protect those workers who feel they are being shortchanged in wages. Under the bill, workers can file claims of missed wages through the Department of Labor. Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, DCommerce City, told the Senate Judiciary Committee the bill gives workers Report more resources by which they are able to claim unpaid wages. “When folks work a long hard day and expect to be paid, they should be paid,” Ulibarri said. Ulibarri told the committee the Department of Labor receives thousands of calls from workers each year who claim their employers owe them money. “The resolution most people get is to call an attorney, go through small claims court, or figure it out on your own,” he said. “Most folks are intimidated by that process.” Under the bill, the new administrative process calls for the Department of Labor to investigate wage claim thefts of up to $7,500. If the department determines that a wage violation has occurred, the employer has 14 days to respond to the decision, or else face fines. The bill also allows for an appeal process for employers who are deemed to be in violation through the administrative process. Last year’s version of the bill included criminal penalties on employers who were

SoulCollage offered at community art center By Ashley Reimers
areimers@coloradocommunitymedia. com SoulCollage is a new and unique class now offered at the Rodeo Market Community Art Center in Westminster. It’s a collage process in which someone creates his or her own deck of cards to be used to help answer life’s questions. The cards also
promote self-discovery and a better understanding of one’s personality. “SoulCollage is an intuitive process where people collect images to create a collage to demonstrate different aspects of their lives,” said Betsy McLain, the certified SoulCollage facilitator running the class in Westminster. “Each card represents an aspect of someone’s personality and over time, the

deck can grow to include as many cards as someone wants.” The cards fall into four suits: committee, which reflects aspects of the personality, community, which represents people who are loved and inspired, companion, which represents physical energies, and council, which represents archetypes that are important to one’s one personal life. Once a deck is compiled, McLain said the creator can then use the cards to answer any range of question, except for yes or no questions. The cards can’t be “read” for others, and can only be consulted by the person who created the deck, McLain added. “SoulCollage eventually leads to personal growth, that is the whole point,” McLain said. “I have had people tell me that they have gotten more out of doing SoulCollage than actual therapy.” SoulCollage continues on Page 5

Lawmakers weigh in on pot legalization, teams Remember the Bud Bowl? If not, you missed out because it was way cool. It was this stop motion animated Super Bowl advertising campaign that matched Bud versus Bud Lite for the ultimate beer supremacy. The ad campaign even incorporated celebrities from the sports world, with Bob Costas, Terry Bradshaw and Tom Landry providing character voice-overs. The Bud Bowl was a blast — well except when they jumped the shark by introducing players from the Bud Dry and Bud Ice teams. Lame. I even won money on some of the Bud Bowls — well, except in 1991, when I was dumb enough to parlay a Bud Lite win with the team the Harlem Globetrotters were playing that night. Lousy, stupid Washington Generals! While the Bud Bowl is a thing of the past, this year’s Super Bowl is bringing a new — and literal — interpretation to the Bud Bowl. It pits teams from the two states where marijuana is legal: Colorado and Washington. So, the Broncos will be taking on the Seahawks in the new and improved Bud Bowl. And the novelty is not lost on Colorado lawmakers who passed legislation last year that regulates the newly-created marijuana industry. “I think it would be funny if instead of Peyton Manning saying, ‘Omaha. Omaha.
Omaha,’ he says, ‘Mile high. Mile high. Puff, puff, pass,’” said state Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton. “Then I’d probably crack up.” And can you imagine what the Super Bowl ads are gonna look like for the big game? After voters passed a tax structure for marijuana sales in November, Gov. John Hickenlooper tweeted about marijuana, Cheetos and Goldfish. It’s perfect fodder for commercials during a game where some people will be sitting around, watching football, eating Doritos and getting — legally — stoned. Rep. Johnathan Singer, D-Longmont, sponsored the bill that placed a 25 percent tax on retail marijuana sales in Colorado. Singer — who was hilarious during marijuana committee hearings last year, with his punchy pot quips — is fully aware of the novelty of the Bud Bowl. “I finally understand how dumb it sounded when I was using all these bad
puns,” Singer said. But I’m curious whether lawmakers will be making any marijuana-themed bets on the game. You see it all the time during big games — politicians betting what their state is famous for against what the other politician’s state is famous for. House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, DDenver, said he won’t be making any pot bets with his Washington equivalent. “I have no desire to get it here or try any from Washington,” he said. I recently spoke with Republican Congressman Mike Coffman. The former state House and Senate member said he won’t be making any marijuana bets either. “I’m sure that there’s going to be some elected official somewhere that’s going to be trading brownies, or something like that, that are laced with marijuana,” Coffman said. “But I’m not going to be one of them.” Singer said he’s planning on making a Super Bowl beer bet with a Washington state representative. Singer’s going to put up a selection of beers from the fine Lyons-based Oskar Blues brewery. Congressman Ed Perlmutter, a former state Senator, recently won a beer bet with a San Diego-based House member following the Broncos win over the Chargers. But Perlmutter told me that he won’t be betting marijuana. Instead, he’ll be talking smack on behalf of the Broncos this week
and will probably bet another case of beer with a Washington politico before the big game. Come on guys. Beer? Really? Get with the program! Beer is yesterday’s news, here. Colorado’s and Washington’s marijuana legalizations are all over the national news. How could you not bet weed for the big game? “For one thing, our taxes are better,” Singer said. “The same amount equivalentwise is not going to be cost equivalent.” That has to be the coolest and most cerebral argument against making Super Bowl marijuana bets with the state of Washington — because ours is better and cheaper. “Also, just as a (public service announcement), it still is federally illegal to be mailing this stuff,” Singer said. “I know there’s going to be a lot of PSA’s that we’re going to have to do in New York to remind the fans in Washington and Colorado that you can’t take it with you.” There you have it folks. There will be no marijuana bets placed by elected officials on the Bud Bowl. Vic Vela covers the Legislature for Colorado Community Media. He can be reached at vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

Filings down for county, state Jeffco sees 51 percent decrease in new foreclosures By Amy Woodward
awoodward@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jefferson County finished last year with a 51 percent decrease in new foreclosure fillings, according to a report by the Office of the Jefferson County Public Trustee. The decrease is significant since the 2009 spike which ended the year with 4,027 foreclosures. The county began their statistical record in 1999 but 2009 could have been the
largest foreclosure intakes the county has seen said Margaret Chapman, Jeffco public trustee. “We got rid of these really ill-considered loans written in 2005 when you didn’t have to show income,” Chapman said. “It’s very significant because it shows the economy is recovering, the housing market is recovering.” The state saw a 54 percent drop in foreclosure activity since 2012, with a foreclosure rate of 1 in every 2,577 housing units, according to a report released by RealtyTrac. Of the top five counties with the highest foreclosure rates — such as Teller and Montrose counties — Jeffco is not listed among them.
“I knew it was going to drop, just not that fast,” Chapman said. Improved loan qualifications have added to the recovery of the housing market, along with shorter sales times, but as far as county reductions, Jeffco has always stood out from the rest because it never saw foreclosures as high as neighboring counties such as Arapahoe which peaked at 6,243 in the year 2009. Another contributing factor to Jeffco’s lower foreclosure rates could be a landuse factor with 232,108 acres of land in the county dedicated to recreation and conservation out of 494,660 total acres, according to Jeffco Open Space figures. “We just don’t have a lot of room to build, there just isn’t space,” Chapman said.
led to flooding in the basement at the Adams County Justice Center, 1100 Judicial Center Drive in Brighton. The board approved a contingency fee agreement with Burg Simpson, Eldredge Hersh & Jardine, PC, to represent them in the matter during its Jan. 13 regular meeting. The county wanted to retain this firm because of its specialized knowledge of construction defect issues. “This (agreement) is involving the litigation over construction defects at the courthouse expansion,” county attorney Heidi Miller said. “This agreement would allow
this firm to attempt to collect the money necessary to fix these defects at the courthouse for a contingency fee of 33 percent.” The contingency fee means if the county does not collect money, either by settlement or through a trial, then it does not pay the firm. However, if the county does recoup money from the contractor, the firm will receive 33 1/3 percent of that. Before the board voted, District 1 Commissioner Eva Henry said, “It’s a good example of where best value contracting probably would have come in handy in-

GOP lawmakers urge action on firefighting fleet By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia. com A day after Gov. John Hickenlooper touted wildfire legislation that was introduced last week, Republicans state lawmakers held their press conference, where they urged the governor to back a revived effort to get the state to buy its own aerial firefighting fleet. Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction, introduced a bill on Jan. 24 that would require the state to lease aircraft designed to fight fires, including the immediate purchase of three Type 1 helicopters. The day before, Hickenlooper – who was joined by a bipartisan group of lawmakers that included King – told reporters that he wasn’t ready to support King’s legislation, based on the logistical complexities involved with the state operating its own fleet, including the hefty price tag of such an undertaking.
But King, flanked by other Republican lawmakers and fire officials, said he doesn’t understand why Hickenlooper isn’t fully on board with his effort. “I gotta tell you, I laugh a litReport tle bit at the pushback I’m getting on this legislation,” said King. King pursued similar legislation last year, which culminated in a state study of the issue that is expected to be released in the spring. The press conference came on the heels of Hickenlooper’s support of several measures aimed at wildfire prevention and mitigation. The eight bills have bipartisan sponsorship and should get plenty of support through the legislative process. However, the bills do not contain some key recommendations that were
Capitol
made by the governor’s own wildfire task force, such as imposing fees on homeowners who live in forest areas and the creation of a state building code. Republican lawmakers were careful to not be too critical of the governor’s wildfire mitigation efforts. Sen. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango, and Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, said Hickenlooper has shown good leadership in protecting the state from the threat of wildfires. “But I don’t understand Gov. Hickenlooper’s opposition to the state maintaining these rapid response vehicles, airplanes and helicopters that have been proven to work; that have saved lives; that have saved homes and have saved communities,” McNulty said. During the same press conference, Republicans introduced other pieces of legislation related to wildfire mitigation, including a bill from Roberts that would update the state’s emergency radio system.
stead of hiring bad contractors.” Rich Neumann, communications manager with the county, said the cost to fix the defects would ultimately be determined as part of the litigation. GE Johnson Construction Company served as the general contractor for the $31,691,961 expansion work done at the Justice Center. The 103,000-square-foot expansion of the structure added 12 courtrooms and 10 conference rooms. The work began in 2008 and was completed in 2010.

Bill on school-safety hotline advances Legislation would put state in charge of program By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A chilling coincidence occurred during a Jan. 23 legislative committee hearing on a school safety hotline bill. At the same time that lawmakers were hearing testimony, Jefferson County Public Schools was sending out alerts that a lockout involving some of its schools had been lifted following reports that police were investigating a threat at Columbine High School. Tom Mauser — whose son Daniel was killed during the 1999 Columbine High shootings — was listening to the testimony from inside a Senate Education Committee hearing room, when he received the alerts
on his phone. “It just goes to show that we have to continue with our vigilance,” Mauser told committee members. Nothing came of the threats the day of the committee hearing. But what happened at Columbine High School 15 years ago is exactly what the Report Safe2Tell Hotline was intended to prevent. Since 1999, the hotline has operated as an anonymous way for students to notify law enforcement of potential campus threats. But the nonprofit-backed hotline is at risk of shutting down due to a lack of funding. Because of that, lawmakers want the

state to take over operations for a program that they believe has been successful in thwarting several school tragedies. “Rarely in government do we get an opportunity to adopt something that’s working,” said Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs. Cadman and Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, are co-sponsors of Senate Bill 2, which would transfer operations of the hotline to the Department of Law. The bill also sets aside $250,000 in hotline operational costs. Students can notify authorities via phone or email of any sort of campus threats they hear about, including shooting plots and incidents of bullying. Supporters of the legislation point to Safe2Tell statistics, which indicate that from September 2004 through December 2013, the hotline resulted in more than 9,000 tips from students across Colorado. Gov. John Hickenlooper said during a
pre-session press conference where he touted the legislation, that the hotline received reports of 16 planned attacks since the beginning of the current school year. Thornton Police Chief Randy Nelson testified that the hotline is a great tool that gives law enforcement the ability to prevent tragedies, rather than respond to them. In turn, that gives students better peace of mind, he said. “We know very clearly that if those kids don’t feel safe in the school, they’re not going to learn,” said Nelson. The bill passed the Senate Education Committee with unanimous support and now heads to the Finance Committee for further consideration. It is expected to sail through both legislative chambers with bipartisan support. “This program is too valuable for us not to do this,” said Senate Education Committee Chairman Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood.
Newest app provides platform for local alerts UFINDEM to test in Colorado before going national By Amy Woodward
awoodward@coloradocommunitymedia.com An ambitious app developer has created an Internet platform that will enable local communities to send their own alerts in crime related incidents. UFINDEM is the latest “social media” app where users can send out their own alerts via computer or mobile device in local emergency situations involving missing persons, accidents, and thefts. The alert system is also being marketed to bounty hunters who can post pictures and request help from the public in locating missing clients. Dido Ivey, owner and creator of UFINDEM will be testing the app in Colorado before it goes national. “What we’re trying to do is create an online community,” Ivey said. “It’s a brand new platform that gives the local community a little bit of power to report things and give them more security.” Law enforcement agencies have been jumping on board with social media alerts via the use of Twitter and Facebook. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is one agency who has found a use for this modern form of communication. “We’ve embraced social media in a very big way,” Jacki Kelly, public information officer for Jeffco Sheriff’s office said. “We have absolutely had success in identifying suspects.” Although there are no numbers with which to measure that success, Kelly reported that tweets and posts reach millions at a time and users are just as likely to see the alert as they would from a local T.V.

news report. This year, Kelly says she will track cases from start to finish in order to better measure the success of social media’s assistance in communicating alerts. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation in Lakewood has also utilized social media after creating a Facebook and Twitter account in the summer of 2012. One of their most notable uses was for the Jessica Ridgeway abduction. UFINDEM Alerts will be a notification system for citizens who can use the app to connect to Twitter and Facebook as well. Both web and mobile apps are available and the system is free to use. “After receiving Jessica’s picture from the Westminster Police Department we shared the information with our social community and it received many shares in the following days. In fact, in the hours and days following her abduction, we shared a series of pictures of Jessica,” said Susan Medina, public information officer for CBI. “My experience with CBI’s two AMBER Alerts featured on Facebook is that the community has come to expect that information to be there so they can share the details with their friends, family and followers.” UFINDEM Alerts will be a notification system for citizens who can use the app to connect to Twitter and Facebook as well. Both web and mobile apps are available and the system is free to use. The user will be in charge of posting and deleting notifications and alerts can be tailored to target a specific region within a state. “I think the local alerts allow them to get involved in the community,” Ivey said. “This is a great platform to do it.” For more information including links to downloads visit www.UFINDEM.com.

sColorado food stamp assistance rises
e heNumbers higher today e resincethan during recession ar. elsonBy Adrian D. Garcia thatI-News at Rocky Mountain PBS event m. In More Coloradans are receiving food ce ofassistance today than during the worst months of the Great Recession. kids Since 2007, the number of people ret go-ceiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program — formerly ationknown as food stamps — has more than anddoubled. An average of 508,200 residents e forqualified for SNAP dollars each month duro sailing 2013, according to the Colorado Deh bi-partment of Human Services. This year the state predicts that an additional 44,000 Coloradans will sign up for s not help in putting food on the table. But the mmitavailable assistance is limited. The average SNAP household of 2.5 people receives about $300 a month, according to government figures, or $10 a day. “The big challenge right now is in November food stamp benefits were reduced when the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009’s temporary boost ended,”
said Michelle Ray, spokeswoman for the advocacy group Hunger Free Colorado. The dollar deduction means some families are sacrificing nutritional food like milk and produce for cheaper, less healthy alternatives, Ray said. In some cases food banks have stepped in to help. “We don’t care if they get food stamps, a lot of people just need help” Vic Ocana, executive director of Compassion Food Banks said. He said Compassion’s nine locations in Colorado all report growing lines for food distribution since last fall. “We try to give them enough food for the month but people are more anxious for help now,” Ocana said. In recent years the SNAP program has become caught up in political infighting in Washington, with House Republicans wanting to cut benefits in the name of reducing government spending, while Senate Democrats, among others, argue that the program is important in the fight against hunger. In Colorado, about 40 percent of “working age” SNAP users, those 16 to 65, were employed as of June 2013. “Seeing one person abusing the system
ruins it for everyone else,” said Andrea Fuller, executive director of the monthly newspaper Denver VOICE, of allegations that the program is sometimes misused. “For the majority of people on SNAP it’s humiliating and humbling.” Before getting her position with VOICE in November, Fuller said she relied on SNAP benefits to help feed her family. “Even working multiple part-time jobs I wasn’t earning enough,” Fuller said. In 2011 she enrolled in the SNAP program. “It’s one thing for me to be hungry, but I can’t bear to see my children hungry.” Many SNAP users just aren’t earning enough to feed themselves and their families, Fuller said. Others need government assistance after losing a job. Some are disabled. The population is diverse, Fuller said, and “not enough people have enough income right now.” Communication from the state can be confusing for SNAP users, Fuller said, and attempting to contact a caseworker can be “frustrating” in that it can take several days. Keeping up with the rapid increase in SNAP participants has been a challenge for
offices across the state, especially in rural areas, acknowledged Sue McGinn, director of the state’s food and energy division. One problem — in which 5 percent of Coloradans on SNAP were accidentally overpaid by the state and then forced to pay back the money — has been addressed, McGinn said. In July, the state will implement new software that should improve communication. “The program has never had a 100 percent increase in participants in such a short amount of time,” she said. “Colorado’s participation rate is still low compared to other states. We tend to be in the bottom five when ranked nationally.” State officials remain skeptical that SNAP participation rates will return to 2007 levels any time soon. “Once the economy gets better I’m not expecting a huge shift back,” McGinn said. “We’re just seeing the stabilization of the program.” I-News is the public service journalism arm of Rocky Mountain PBS.

Citizen academy teaches the roles of a firefighter By Ashley Reimers
areimers@coloradocommunitymedia. com To share the ins and outs of the life of a firefighter, the Westminster Fire Department is hosting its annual citizen academy, giving residents the opportunity to learn the job of a firefighter. The 13-week course is March 6 through May 29, which includes graduation. Classes are 6-10 p.m. Thursday evenings. Majority of the course is hands-on, with some classroom work. Public education officer Sherrie Leeka said the academy will teach students
how their local fire department operates, touching on various topics such as fire behavior, hazardous materials protocol, emergency medical response, water safety and more. “People will get a realistic view of what firefighters do every day,” she said. “Students learn things like what our wild land crew does and learn fire extinguisher training, while also learning about the history of the department and future goals.” Leeka said the academy is also meant to straighten out some misconceptions given to the job of the firefighter. She said some people think when a firefighter isn’t on a call he or she is just sitting around the sta-
tion watching televise. But in reality, there are many other tasks and requirements to accomplish as a firefighter whether it’s training or performing truck checks, she added. “We really hope people who take the course become ambassadors for the department, sharing with their neighbors what they have learned,” Leeka said. “And what’s even better is many of our alumni graduates end up doing tons of volunteering and fundraising for us, which helps the department tremendously.” The academy also covers the jobs of EMTs and paramedics, allows students to learn about water rescue by diving in a pool
in full bunker gear and requires students to do an eight or 12-hour ride along shift. The course is geared towards people who want to learn about the fire department, rather than people who want to become a firefighter. Applications are being accepted until Feb. 20 and Westminster residents will be considered first for acceptance, but anyone age 18 or over can apply. To register, contact Leeka at 303-6584536 or email her at sleeka@cityofwestminster.us. A background check will be administered to those who apply.

Wildfire mitigation options efforts unveiled Key recommendations by governor’s task force absent By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper and state lawmakers unveiled a package of bills on Jan. 23 that is “aimed at improving Colorado’s ability to mitigate and fight wildfires.” However, Hickenlooper and legislators spent most of a Capitol press conference answering questions having to do with wildfire mitigation options that are not part of the eight bills that were introduced. The bills do not include key recommendations made by the governor’s own wildfire task force committee, including ones that place fees and building code mandates on homeowners who reside in areas where a high potential for wildfires exists. And the package does not address the creation of a state firefighting fleet. The

governor’s office says the issue needs more work. But a Republican lawmaker who is sponsoring his own air tanker legislation said at the same press conference that the time for a wildfire fleet is now. “I believe that wildfire is a clear and present danger to Colorado and we need to take action,” said Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction. The governor insists that the bipartisan piecReport es of wildfire legislation that were introduced on Jan. 23 will go a long way in combatting a growing threat facing the state. “I think with this year we will continue to raise the ante and try to dedicate more resources up front to try to get to these fires sooner,” Hickenlooper said. The bills deal with a variety of areas
aimed at wildfire prevention. They include giving the governor the ability to provide financial assistance without a federal disaster declaration; and allowing county governments more autonomy in putting bans on agricultural burning during periods of high fire danger and to clamp down on summer fireworks. Bills also deal with the creation of the wildfire information and resource center and a grant program that seeks to increase local firefighter safety. Another bill would allow firefighters who are killed while combatting wildfires to collect death benefits. The governor’s office also touted Hickenlooper’s role in launching a pilot program that allows agencies across the West to work collaboratively to reduce wildfire risks. The governor is also calling on the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide federal dollars for tree-thinning efforts in Western forests. But the bills that were introduced on Jan. 23 will not include key recommendations
that were made by the governor’s wildfire task force, prior to the state of the legislative session. They included recommendations that lawmakers take up measures that would impose fees on properties that reside in the Wildland Urban Interface, where homes sit in close proximity to terrain where there is a high potential for wildfires. Also, there are no pieces of legislation that would require homeowners living in those areas to create defensive spaces in front of their homes, or that would create a statewide building code, as were also recommended by Hickenlooper’s task force. Instead, lawmakers are proposing legislation that offers homeowners tax credits as a way of enticing them to take up their own mitigation efforts. “If that doesn’t work, we will revisit any ideas that were brought forth by the task force,” Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk, said.
tion. The bill received mixed testimony. Chuck Saxton of the Bennett-based Saxton Construction, a supporter of the legislation, said he has heard stories from workers who claim that other employers cheated them out of paychecks. “Our laws are supposed to be a reflection of our morality,” he said, speaking in favor of the bill. However, the Colorado Restaurant Association has come out against the bill. Nick
Hoover, a spokesman for the organization, said that most complaints that workers file regarding alleged wage theft are the result of “simple confusion over payroll procedures.” Hoover also said the proposed administrative process would lead to “punitive costs” for employers on matters that can typically be handled in-house. “I haven’t spoken to a restaurant that hasn’t been able to handle this in a face-toface conversation,” Hoover said.
Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction, said the legislation is unnecessary and that the current grievance process works without government intervention. “I do not believe that the benefit of this legislation outweighs the cost,” he said. The bill passed the Democrat-controlled committee following a 3-2 party line vote. It now heads to the Senate Finance Committee, before it receives a full vote in the Senate.

opinions / yours and ours
Many levels to like with declining foreclosures Perhaps it wasn’t an earthshaking news item but some welcome numbers nonetheless. A report released earlier this month noted Colorado realized a 54 percent drop in foreclosure activity the past year, with a foreclosure rate of 1 for every 2,577 housing units at the end of 2013 — and nationally the comparison shows a 26 percent drop. The report by RealtyTrac, an online marketplace for foreclosed properties, shared its bright figures, which were not unexpected results but progressing faster than expected, at least according to Jefferson County public trustee Margaret Chapman. Chapman, like other officials in Colorado counties, has been tracking foreclosures for the better part of a decade, and we like her comment noting the country
our view is finally getting rid of the ill-considered loans written in 2005 when borrowers “had to do little to show income.” Well, we are getting rid of several effects related to easy money home loans that contributed to the housing bubble bust. We wrote stories through the years about the extra work involved for police to keep an eye on vacant properties, which can be targets for theft, vandalism or teen gatherings. This is tough on neighborhoods, so we are pleased to get rid of the problems associated with vacant home pockets here and there. Of course the impact to the undercur-
rents to the economy have been even more severe. The foreclosures caused serious reductions in the value of homes. We know it doesn’t take a wide circle of friends to find someone who bought a house and got caught in the downturn and felt saddled for the long-term with “upside down” mortgages. Now the loose loan practices of the past have dried up in many ways and made it tougher for some wanting to buy homes, but the tightening had to happen. This effect and the downturn of the economy in 2008 made it in turn tough for many businesses looking for loans to advance their businesses. Businesses certainly suffered, and we reported the related double trouble of unemployment and foreclosures on many families.
Having covered the problems under the dark clouds of foreclosures, we are glad to see the numbers give hints for an improving, more stable economy. We hope legislation passed by the Statehouse in recent years to address predatory lending and federal mechanisms will help to prevent the country from finding itself in the same jam. We are happy to leave visions of boarded up buildings behind. Colorado has a lot going for it. We see good signs. For one, the battered construction industry is seeing more housing and office projects in the works. And Forbes magazine recently ranked Colorado as the fifth best state for business, and predicted strong growth. It’s been a slow turning, but we enjoy every sign that the economy is turning around.

Local Overkill Like anything in life, balance is important. With that philosophy in mind, a proposed statewide ballot issue, which would give communities control over “health and safety concerns,” is clearly overkill. The expected ballot initiative dubbed “The Community Rights Amendment” may sound good on the surface, but it could easily be misused and abused if approved by Colorado voters. Plus, it could be interpreted by business interests who are thinking about coming to Colorado with new jobs and tax revenues that Colorado communities don’t want them.
Going way beyond fracking
The authors of the proposed law, Colorado Community Rights Network, would empower local communities to block or prohibit “for-profit business entities” from operating if they are deemed to be in conflict with the community’s health, safety or welfare. This same grassroots group led the charge in getting Lafayette voters to ban oil and gas development in their city this past November. However, the broad wording in their newest initiative would go way beyond the fracking issue which has evolved in various Colorado cities.
Points to ponder
While you probably know that I am a strong proponent of limiting fracking operations in the vicinity of existing urban developments, I would oppose the “Community Rights Amendment.” Let’s look at a couple of “what ifs” that could perhaps fall under the criteria of “conflicting” with a community’s health, safety or welfare. We all are well aware of the debate that arises whenever Wal-Mart announces their intent to build a new store at a specific location. Opponents of a major retailer could easily declare that such development with the traffic it would generate along with noise and vehicle emissions to be in” conflict” with the criteria under the Amendment and apparently could kill the development. On the surface, it sounds like such a declaration would trump any existing zoning or
land use considerations of the municipality and individual property rights. Another example could be the redevelopment of existing run down building(s) with proposed “work force housing” by a private corporation. While the real reason motivating the opposition is to stop affordable housing, they could use the proposed amendment to block the development.
Local representative government
Fundamentally, the proposed “Rights” initiative begs the question of what criteria shall the local community use to decide “up” or “down” on any “for-profit business” wanting to locate and who is to administer and evaluate the criteria against any given proposal. Certainly, the state Legislature needs to work further on resolving the jurisdictional issues on controlling/ regulating fracking operations which seems to be the underlying “foot in the door” here. However, this can be done by thoughtful state legislation produced through the normal policy-making channels. The backers of the “Community Rights Amendment” should pack up their proposal and instead lobby the state Legislature and governor for more local authority and tighter fracking regulations/criteria. We already have a process to decide land use, zoning, business licensing and regulation enforcement at the local level to cover the broad net that they are attempting to cast. It is called elected representation i.e. city councils and boards of county commissioners. Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

Giving thanks from oceans away This could be just a heartwarming story of two college friends getting together over Christmas break to compare their respective lives and careers. Yet the implications of this simple visit reach around the globe, bringing diverse cultures and people together. Sound like a stretch? Not if one of these young people is my nephew Joel, who is teaching English to grade school students in Japan, and the other is Hannah, an elementary school teacher in Bennett, Colo. Joel and Hannah followed similar paths after their graduation in 2011. Both have become teachers. Both moved away from their hometowns. Both want to make a difference in the world by making a difference in the lives of children. And when Joel visited Hannah’s classroom this past December, he brought more than a new language and a new culture to the students. He brought a new way of thinking and doing and understanding. Joel shared kanji with Hannah’s stu-
dents — the art of logographic characters that are pictographic sketches of the items they represent, such as the symbol for “horse” that he taught them to draw. And although playing with ink and water and brushes is great fun for kids and adults alike, Hannah’s students also got a look through a new window on the world. How do we know this? Because, in addition to teaching academic skills, Hannah is helping her students learn about life, such as the importance of saying thank you — after Joel’s visit, Hannah asked her students to write him thank you notes.
All of the letters were appropriately addressed to Joel sensei, an honorific term for “teacher” that refers to masters of their professions. Many of the students were straightforward, sincere, and very serious in their thanks: “Dear Joel sensei, Thanks for coming to our school today. I didn’t know that some Japanese letters meant words.” And: “I learned that horse in Japan isn’t a picture of a horse. It’s a symbol.” Many students expressed their curiosity about a world quite different from their own: “Why are your classrooms made of wood?” “What was the most confusing thing that happened to you?” And: “Do you like Japan food better than American food?” In a particularly sad commentary about violence in our schools, one student asked: “What if somebody breaks in (your classroom)? Won’t they see you through all the windows?” Students also offered their appreciation in humorous and poignant ways: “My mom’s birthday is today and I forgot to
get her something so that craft is really going to help me.” And one of my favorites: “Thank you for teaching us about Japan. I told all my toys about you.” The students said thank you for the kanji lessons, the crafts, the gifts and the games that Joel brought to their classroom, but perhaps the most telling comment came from one student who said simply: “I learned a lot of other stuff, too.” Education brings awareness that in turn provides opportunities for understanding, which then becomes the seeds of empathy. These letters from Hannah sensei’s students to Joel sensei are tangible signs that such seeds are taking hold. Domo arigatou gozaimasu, Joel and Hannah. You are indeed making a difference. Andrea Doray is a writer who wonders what Joel sensei thinks of multiple comments from the students that said: “You are very funny.” Contact her at a.doray@ andreadoray.com.
Columnist shares an letter to his children Hello, my sweets. Recent events have made it necessary to say a few things to you, just so you understand. I haven’t, and I won’t, always do things that make sense to you. Sometimes, you are going to ask for something and I’m going to say “no” and not be able to give you a very good reason. Sometimes, I won’t have a very good reason. Sometimes, I act on instinct — or rather, I act on your mother’s instincts, which are much better than mine. That’s because the world is a very weird place these days. And I know you want me to trust you, and believe me when I tell you that I do. But, there are a lot — a LOT — of other people out there in the world who I don’t trust. We’ve seen this lately. It is possible to do everything the way you’re supposed to,
and still have bad things happen to you. Your mother and I were crossing the street in the crosswalk, like we were supposed to; we were trying to hustle across to get out of the street, and had the dog on a leash, just like we were supposed to. But we can’t always account for the other people out there, and that old guy in the truck just didn’t see us. We did our best to get out of the way, but Addy (the dog) just didn’t quite make it. We’re lucky it wasn’t worse than it was. We’re lucky Addy is young and strong, we’re hopeful that she’ll be coming home again to us soon. But we can’t always count on luck. I’ve been around longer than you have, and I’ve survived a few other brushes with stupidity (mostly my own), and so I feel pretty comfortable when I tell you that
there are a lot more things that can go wrong in the world than just the consequences of your own choices. Of course, that doesn’t mean that we try to hide you away in a tower to protect you from all of that. You have to go out there and live life and learn on your own. But there’s a reason I taught you how to throw a decent roundhouse kick from an early age. Please understand that it’s not a form of torture when I try to show you self-defense — it’s a form of preparation. I pray to God above that you will never need to use anything I show you, but I’d rather “waste” the time showing you something unnecessary than waste time regretting not having shown you. The same goes for trying to teach you about money, and all those glorious hours teaching you to drive, and the times I make
STATE LEGISLATURE IN A HURRY Severance tax bill dies
Legislation that sought to end oil and gas tax revenues from going to cities that ban hydraulic fracking died in a House committee on Jan. 22. Some of the severance tax money that cities collect are used to offset the impact that fracking can cause. House Bill 1064, which was sponsored by Rep. Jerry Sonnenberg, R-Sterling, would have cut off that money to cities with fracking moratoriums. Sonnenberg said that cities that ban fracking shouldn’t benefit from the money. However, Democrats on the House Local Government Committee called the measure punitive and said cities that neighbor communities that allow fracking also feel its impact. The bill died in the Democrat-controlled committee, following a 7-6 partyline vote.
Bill allowing gay couples to file joint taxes advances
A bill that gives gay married couples living in Colorado the ability to file joint state tax returns passed the state Senate last week. Senate Bill 19 requires that gay couples who married out of state or in another country, and who now reside here, file their state taxes the same as they do at the federal level, either through joint or individual returns. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, comes on the heels of last year’s Internal Revenue Service ruling, which determined that legally married same-sex couples are also considered married for federal tax purposes. The bill passed the Democrat-controlled Senate Jan. 22, following an 18-16 party-line vote. Republicans opposed the bill, with some arguing that the effort is an end-run around Colorado’s gay marriage ban. However, the bill’s only purpose is to ensure that a person’s federal filing status is the
same as his or her’s state filing. If the bill becomes law, the change would not apply to couples who are in civil unions.
Affordable housing effort advances
A Democat-sponsored attempt to provide more funding for affordable housing in Colorado passed a House committee hearing on Jan. 23. House Bill 1017 would fund the construction of 800 low-cost homes across the state. The bill would also allow the state to use some its funds from the Housing Development Grant Fund for affordable housing, foreclosure prevention and homeownership assistance. Bill sponsors – Rep. Crisanta Duran, DDenver, and Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City – say the bill is needed, particularly due to soaring rent costs across the state. They also point to the increased need for affordable housing, due to wildfires and flooding from last year. The bill passed the House Local Government Committee following a 7-4 partyline vote.
Job-training bill gets first OK
A House committee last week gave initial approval to an extension of a Democrat-backed job training program. The ReHire Colorado program – which provides job skills to unemployed and underemployed Coloradans – is set to expire at year’s end. House Bill 1015 would extend the program another two years. Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, the bill’s sponsor, said the program is needed to help those who are struggling to find employment. The bill passed the Business, Labor, Economic and Workforce Development Committee following a 6-5 party-line vote. Republicans balk at the cost of the bill. The extension will increase state expenditures by about $4.8 million over the next three fiscal years.
you look around at what seems like nothing, trying to imagine where bad things might come from. I will always try to be there to protect you, but I won’t always be there, and, it’s possible that even if I am there I won’t be able to do anything. So I want you to be ready. But, for now, please accept that sometimes I’m going to try to keep you out of certain situations, just so none of that is necessary. It won’t make sense to you, and I apologize for that, but that’s part of my job as your parent. And I won’t apologize for that. And always remember — Daddy loves.

Recommendations to keep humans, pets safe from coyotes By Ashley Reimers
areimers@coloradocommunitymedia. com Nowadays it’s not uncommon to see a coyote in an open space area or even in the backyards of people’s homes. Over the years, these animals have become more and more accustomed to humans, creating an ever presence in neighborhoods across the north metro area. Recently the city of Westminster received many reports from residents concerning coyotes entering yards and attacking dogs on the west side of the city. Although the reports are coming in from people in the west, all residents in Westminster need to be aware of coyote activity and increased aggression due to the breeding season, Jan-
uary to March. Jennifer Churchill, public information officer for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, said as coyotes pair up, they become more territorial and don’t like having other animals, especially dogs, near them. She said although they are more prevalent in open space areas, coyotes can also be found in residential neighborhoods, and people need to follow a few critical steps to ensure safety of themselves and their pets. “The number one thing I tell people is to never feed coyotes, whether it’s intentionally or unintentionally, like leaving food sources near the home like bird feed, dog food or even berries from trees,” Churchill said. The second important step Churchill suggests is to keep pets in an enclosed ken-
nel, if outdoors. The kennel even needs a roof to keep coyotes from jumping into the kennel. She said coyotes will eat small dogs or cats, so she recommends people keep watch of their smaller animals, especially cats, and try to keep them indoors if possible. “We also suggest always keeping dogs on a six-foot leash, that way people can keep their animal under control or from chasing a coyote,” Churchill said. “Also do not allow dogs to interact with coyotes.” Another recommendation from the Department of Wildlife is hazing coyotes when people see a coyote near them. Churchill said hazing is sometimes hard for people to do, especially animal lovers, but is a critical key is the survival of coyotes. She said by hazing, people are actually cre-
ating a fearful situation for coyotes, which is important because coyotes are so habituated to people and have no reason to be afraid of humans. Yelling, clapping hands, throwing sticks and even spraying water at coyotes are all recommended hazing techniques. “Coyotes will only survive if they have a healthy, natural fear of people. We don’t want them comfortable with humans, because when that happens they can come too close to someone or could injure someone and that means we have to come in and remove them,” Churchill said. “We need coyotes, they serve a purpose in our ecosystem so we need them to fear humans.” For more information on living with coyotes, visit http://wildlife.state.co.us.
Party encourages the joy of art Board to decide length By Ashley Reimers
areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com The South Westminster Arts Group, SWAG, is hosting a Tiki Party, exploring the Polynesian art subculture that started in the 1930s. The Tiki Party on Feb. 8 is a collaboration of art galleries in historic Westminster and will feature food, dancing and of course art. It begins with appetizers at 5:30 p.m. at Aar River Gallery, followed by dinner and a Tiki art exhibition at 6:30 p.m. at the Rodeo Market Community Art Center. For those up for some grooving, a rumba dance lesson is scheduled at 7:30 p.m., which is just the kick-off to an open dance until 11 p.m. at the Westminster Grange Hall. For a more
relaxed end to the evening, people can enjoy dessert and coffee at Iddle Bits of This and That. “We wanted to do something more edgy and get into the cultural phenomenon of Tiki, which has really taken off,” said Debbie Teter, SWAG co-chair. As far as the art exhibit, Teter said she is hoping to draw in some threedimensional Tiki work to bring in more interest from people to the art culture in the area. She said many people who live in the south Westminster area have not been exposed to art or have not had the opportunity to experience art and how it’s important to life. She’s hoping this event will bring in an audience looking for art exposure. “Art brings soul to the community,” she said. “If you are not exposed to art, that can hinder creativity. But
when the mind is exposed to art, creativity flows.” Landing on Feb. 8, just before Valentine’s Day, Teter said the Tiki Party is an option for singles to enjoy themselves during a time that is focused mostly on couples. The idea for couple’s tickets rates were specifically nixed from the event to encourage individuals and groups to attend the party, and not feel as though it was a couple’s event. Tickets are $25 apiece. “We didn’t want to compete with Valentine’s Day, but we also wanted to offer something that everyone can attend, even if you aren’t a couple,” Teter said. “There is less of a romance focus to this party. We just want people to come and have fun, and find out about the art in Westminster.” For more information or tickets visit, http://southwestyartsgroup.com.

of The Academy’s charter renewal By Ashley Reimers
areimers@coloradcommunitymedia.com The future of The Academy’s charter renewal is in question. During the Jan. 15 Adams 12 Five School District board meeting, the school board discussed a potential renewal agreement and heard from Academy representatives, hoping to convince the board to agree to a three to five-year charter renewal. Any decisions won’t be made until the Feb. 5 board meeting. “It’s clear students are doing well and are excelling, so I would consider a two-year renewal to give you the extra year to look at the audit findings and go from there,” board director Rico Figueroa said. The district staff recommendation is a one-year charter renewal, July 1 to June 30, 2015 under certain conditions which include: an audit submission by October, a comprehensive review of the school’s fiscal operations with a final report to the district by Dec. 1, review of the report by an independent agency to be paid for by The Academy and the establishment of a repayment plan for the $2.06 million currently due to the district by The Academy. Patti Gilmour, Adams 12 charter school liaison, said the reason behind the owed money is that The Academy’s monthly expenditures paid by the district have been greater than the school’s monthly equalization. She said although the school is attracting more and more students and has demonstrated student achievement that has met state expectations, staff’s major concern is the school’s finances. “Strengths that staff sees are student achievement and the school’s history of positively benefitting the district’s performance framework,” Gilmour said. “But on the other hand significant concern is the school’s financial conditions and management.” David Floodeen, executive director for The Academy, said the school has taken steps to improve the financial status by forming a financial committee who reports to the board of directors monthly and by hiring a full-time accountant and a director of finance. He admitted the school needs to improve their finances, but said those improvements have already begun. “We’ve initiated numerous cost saving measures that resulted in $535,000 in overall savings and improvements in 2013,” he said. “And we did it all without sacrificing student improvement and kept our focus on what is expected from our community.” Floodeen said he agrees with the conditions and said the school will meet those conditions in order for an application renewal, but is hoping for a three to five-year agreement over a one-year agreement. After the meeting, the board will have some time to submit follow up questions to Floodeen and the board of directors to be answered before the Feb. 5 board meeting, when action will be taken on the application renewal. The Academy, at 11800 Lowell Blvd. in Westminster, first applied for charter authorization in February 1994. In 2000, the district entered into a renewed contract with The Academy from July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2005, followed by another charter renewal until 2009. The current contract period is July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2014. The school has two campuses and serves students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

Book explores Burton’s animated works Staff Report Movie and entertainment journalist Tim Lammers released a collection of behindthe-scenes stories from the world of one of film’s most acclaimed directors in “Direct Conversations: The Animated Films of Tim Burton.” The book is based on interviews Lammers did with Burton and several of the director’s collaborators about the stopmotion animated films “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Corpse Bride” and “Frankenweenie.” A film journalist since 1991, Lammers has interviewed more than 1,000 major actors and numerous film directors. The project culminates more than eight years of interviews Lammers has done with Burton, as well as key players connected with his films including Danny Elfman, Helena Bonham Carter, Martin Landau, Chris Sarandon, Allison Abatte, the late Ray Harryhausen, the late Richard Zanuck, and more. The ebook also features interviews with Elijah Wood and Timur Bekmambetov, two major principals involved in the Burton-produced computer-animated fantasy, 9.

Tantalizing tastes of Lone Tree Miners Alley kicks off season with two-woman show By Clarke Reader
creader@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Miners Alley Playhouse is ushering in 2014 with laughs and insight in its first production of the year. “Parallel Lives” will open at the theater, 1224 Washington Ave., on Jan. 31 and run through March 9. Showtimes are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 6 p.m. on Sunday. The two-woman show was written by Mo Gaffney and Kathy Najimy and has a long producWHAT: “Parallel Lives” tion history for WHERE: Miners Alley the team that Playhouse are putting it 1224 Washington Ave., Golden on. WHEN: Jan. 31 to March 9. “We first 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday did this show 6 p.m. Sunday in Evergreen, COST: $23 and it was INFORMATION: 303-935extremely 3044 or www.minersalley.com successful. It ended up going to these play festivals and kept winning,” Len Matheo, director of the show said. “We ended up being invited to perform it for the troops in Germany.” The production ended up taking top honors at the American Association of Community Theatre Regional Theater Festival and went on to the National Festival in Rochester, New York, in 2011. According to Lisa DeCaro, who acts alongside Gail Montgomery, the two actresses play 36 different characters throughout the show. “It’s a blast to do this show — the characters are so extreme in some ways, but they all have such depth,” DeCaro said. “There is a certain wildness there, but there are also very real

Using only a few costume changes and props, Gail Montgomery and Lisa DeCaro tell the stories of a variety of characters in different settings. Photos courtesy of Ellen Nelson reactions. It never gets boring.” The play kicks off with two goddesses planning the beginning of the world with all the irreverence and dry wit that is reserved for only the closest of friends. From there the audience is treated to a journey through a variety of characters in a hilarious mix of situations, including teenagers on a date, funeral attendees and a football game. DeCaro said that she and Montgomery are on the stage the entire show, and only have quick costume tweaks to use to bring each character to life. “Conceptually the show is very minimal. We have closets for the women, two benches and stools,” Matheo said. “There are a few props, but the actresses are still able to create these different worlds around them.” As a director, Matheo said the trick for the show is to create a balance of letting the actresses find the
characters and getting to tell the stories as poignantly as possible. “The director needs to know what kind of story they want to tell,” DeCaro said. “Since we did the show on and off for two years it came back ridiculously fast — the lines just make sense.” Matheo said the show, while funny throughout, will take audiences on the full gamut of emotions. “Since this is our first show of the season we wanted to start out with something strong, and give audiences some exciting theater,” he said. DeCaro said both sexes will find something to relate to in the show. “I think everyone will see somebody they recognize on the stage during the show,” she said. “It’s a great acting exercise and far out play.” For more information call 303-9353044 or visit www.minersalley.com.

Denver’s fit as a fiddle
Denver can boast being the best city in the U.S. for fitness in 2014, according to Yahoo Shine, which ranked “America’s 10 Best cities for Fitness.” No big shock since we’re a collection of outdoors and mountain lovers. Here’s what Yahoo wrote: “The Mile High City is miles above the rest when it comes to exercise. Between the incredible hiking in the nearby Rocky Mountains, skiing in Winter Park Resort and the more than 850 miles of paved offroad trails around the city for biking, it’s no surprise that Denver tops our best cities for fitness list. Denver also has a citywide bike-sharing program, which is even more of an incentive for residents to be active.” While Denver comes in at No. 1, four California cities — San Francisco, San

Danielson to run for Jeffco seat in state house Small business, women’s rights at forefront for campaign By Amy Woodward
awoodward@coloradocommunitymedia.com The 2014 biennial election is underway with candidates making early announcements about their intentions for this year’s races. State Rep. Sue Schafer announced in mid-January she would not be seeking a fourth term. Newcomer Jessie Danielson, also a dem-
ocrat from Wheat Ridge, released her intent to run for state legislature in the hopes to fill Schafer’s seat. A graduate of CU-Boulder, Danielson is a third generation resident of Wheat Ridge. She is currently the state director for American Votes, an advocacy group dedicated to voter’s rights and progressive politics. Danielson was influential in the passing of the ground-breaking Voter Access and Modernized Elections Act of 2013 which included provisions to allow for easy voting and registration such as Election Day voter registration and mail ballots. She has also worked as a grassroots orga-
nizer for NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado and plans to take an active stance for the protection of women’s rights, small businesses, jobs and public schools. “Small businesses are the engine driving Colorado’s economic recovery. Thriving local businesses lead to stronger communities and attract good-paying primary jobs,” Danielson said in an email to the Transcript. “We need to provide small businesses with the technology and skills training they need to grow their businesses and help provide economic security for business owners and employees,” she said. “Businesses want to move to great communities with an excellent quality and life
and good school systems. That is why adequate K-12 school funding and a strong local quality of life are critical to small business development in HD-24’s communities.” Republican candidate Wayne W. Williams, El Paso county clerk tossed his hat in the ring for Secretary of State with democratic opponent Joe Neguse, University of Colorado Regent from the 2nd congressional district. It remains to be seen if Jeffco’s own clerk and recorder Pam Anderson will join the race. For more information about Jessie Danielson visit www.jessiedanielson.com.

I recently saw the hat incurrent play “The Orphans” and was not emo-disappointed. Though there did seem to ty ofbe some blanks in the story that one had ionalto fill, all in all it was an intriguing story of two orphaned young men who are trying clerkto make their way in the world without any n thehelp. Treat (Jack Wefso) the older brother, is left with the responsibility of taking care Dan-of his slightly younger and developmentally disabled brother Phillip (Christian Mast). Stealing is Treat’s livelihood, but he decides to up the ante by kidnapping Harold (Rick Yaconis) a member of the mob, and holding him for ransom. The unsophisticated brothers try to hog-tie Harold. When Treat leaves the house, Harold quickly extricates himself

Fun twists in ‘Thicket’ “The Thicket” by Joe R. Lansdale 2013, Mulholland Books $26 / $29 Canada 352 pages You know who your friends are. They’re the ones who keep your secrets, or your car keys when you need them to. They’ll loan you five minutes or five dollars, tell you when your ideas are good and your breath is bad, and can be counted on, but never out. You’d like to think they’d even take a bullet for you but, as in the new novel, “The Thicket” by Joe R. Lansdale, you hope you’ll never have to know. It all started with the pox. Right after Jack Parker and his Grandpa finished burying Jack’s Ma and Pa, dead from the disease, Grandpa decided that Jack and his little sister, Lula, would be better off in Kansas City with their Aunt Tessle. And that might’ve been true – they’d never know because, while crossing the Sabine River, they were attacked by bandits and Lula was kidnapped. His Grandpa dead, his sister gone, 17-year-old Jack ended up in a nearby town where he hoped to find The Law but instead found a dead sheriff, a black boar hog
with tusks, and a tall Negro man who was commencing to bury the aftermath of mob justice. The man introduced himself as Eustace, and told Jack that he was a tracker and could help him find the men that took Lula – but it wouldn’t come cheap and he wouldn’t do it unless they could “get Shorty to sign up.” With the hog tagging alongside, Eustace took Jack down a “rabbit path” to meet with Shorty. As they neared Shorty’s home, Jack saw a child peering through a telescope and it took him a minute to understand that he wasn’t meeting with a child. He was meeting with a dwarf. Eustace seemed a little unstable. Shorty
seemed to want to kill, but Jack was a Parker and that wasn’t how Parkers did things. He didn’t want violence or bloodshed. He didn’t want any trouble at all, really. He only wanted his sister back. And he’d learn quick enough what it would take to get her. Let’s say you planned to write a story set in, oh, about 1916 in Texas. Borrow a little from The Wizard of Oz, a little Mark Twain, and make a nod toward classic western literature. Add humor, some savagery, and remove just about everything “PC” – and you might come close to the perfection that is “The Thicket.” Actually, scratch that. Don’t even try. Nobody does a modern-western novel like author Joe R. Lansdale. And that’s good because you won’t find any fully-stereotypical “western” characters in a Lansdale novel. You’ll find the gunslinger, a prostitute, and a man-boy who grows up fast, yes, but they don’t do things the way they do in other westerns. You’ll find them in shocking situations of cruelty and violence with rays of goodness and surprising playfulness, though, and it works. It works
wonderfully. If you’re in the mood for something down-and-dirty but oh-so-enjoyable, here’s your book. Read “The Thicket” and then loan it out carefully. You know who your friends are ...

The Peak to Peak girl’s basketball team walked into Holy Family’s gym Jan. 24 ranked fourth in the AP media poll and undefeated in the Class 3A Metro League. But that didn’t affect the Tigers at all since they are also unbeatable in league and are the No. 2 ranked team. Well maybe it bothered them, but only for the first five minutes. The Pumas scored four points right off the bat, but the 4-0 lead was the single advantage Peak to Peak possessed. Holy Family went on a 14-0 run with two minutes left in the first quarter. “That layup at the beginning really sparked us to have a realization that we need to get out of gate strong,” Tigers sophomore Katie Chavez said. “That was a good wake up call for us and then after that happened, we just played our game.” The Pumas closed the gap by scoring 12 points and only trailed Holy Family 18-16 at the end of the first quarter. The Tigers then scored nine consecutive points and took over from there. Holy Family led at halftime 41-25 and held the Pumas to nine points in third quarter and eight in the fourth for the 70-42 win. “It was a great defensive win by our team today,” Holy family head coach Ron Rossi said. “Our balance offensively was very good. We really did the good game plan of taking away the three big scorers.” Pumas junior Katharine Kia was averaging 15 points per game, however Holy Family kept Kia to six points throughout the match. Junior Michaela Wildbacher led Peak to Peak with 14 points. Tigers senior Lindsey Chavez had a double double scoring 16 points and had 10 defensive steals. “Lindsey got her fast break going and always plays good defense for us,” Rossi said

She was 4 for 6 at the free throw line. Junior Maggie Spitzer scored 13 points for the Tigers and junior Alex Jaros scored 11. Both senior Claudia Pena and junior Megan Mcgillin grabbed six rebounds and Spitzer had four. Katie Chavez said she liked how the whole team played a role in the Tigers win. “All of us contributed in our own way,” Chavez said. “If Alex wouldn’t have come off the bench and scored those points and even our posts were staying strong and getting great rebounds. I think it all just fell into place which really helped us.” The Tigers will continue their successful season Jan. 31 when they play Manual at home and hit the road Feb. 4 at Colorado Academy.
Numerous forfeits costs Horizon a loss respectively, before Horizon had to forfeit four times. Aaron Beltran (113) from Horizon won by decision, 23-9 against Skyler Calderoni and Hunter Lucas (145) won his match by pinning Fairview’s Philip Giomassis. Horizon’s Michael Herman (138) won his match by decision 3-1 in the last 10 seconds of the third round. “He wrestled one of his best matches ever,” Perez said of Herman. “I keep telling these guys they just have to keep working at it and never give up.” The Hawks had to forfeit weight classes 108, 120, 170, 182 and heavyweight. Jonah Weil, Preston Cates, Cito Balsells, Campbell Rutherford and Enrique Vasquez accepted the forfeits for Fairview. Despite the losses, Perez said the team is working hard and if they keep up their efforts, no team will be able to stop them. “If they stick to their fundamentals and wrestle their style, as long as we do that we’re a good team, we’re hard to beat,” Perez said. The Hawks will compete against Mountain Range Jan. 30 at Horizon High School.

Jefferson Academy’s comeback falls short Prep sports Scoreboard Jaguars drop to No. 2 Lutheran
JEFFERSON ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL
By Kate Ferraro
Girls basketball
kferraro@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Jefferson Academy girls basketball suffered an unpleasant loss to No. 3 Peak to Peak Jan. 17, 60-29, they were hoping to make a statement against No. 2 Lutheran in their next match. While the Jaguars (7-4) did fight until the end against the Lions, Lutheran came out on top 49-46 Jan. 22 at Jefferson Academy High School. Jaguars head coach Kevin Porter said the girls improved greatly from their match the previous week. “We talked about the girls playing with heart,” Porter said. “We talked about what we could do to be smarter with the ball. We talked about if we’re going to go down, it’s going to not be without a fight. These people need to know that we came to play tonight.” Lutheran came into the game 8-1 with their one loss being against Holy Family. No team has scored more than 40 points against them except for Holy Family, Peyton and now Jefferson Academy. “Our program’s identity has always revolved around our half-court defense,” Lutheran head coach Mark Duitsman said. “Keeping those scores as low as we have is a tribute to our girls. Basketball is a game that’s going to reveal how truly connected you are to the team.” With one minute left in the
Jefferson Academy 57, Manual 40 Alycia Wright scored a game high 19 points and had four rebounds and five steals. Wright also limited Manual’s top scorer to only four points. Karah Burkel scored 13 points and Mollie Heitman scored 11. Emma Anderson had 11 rebounds followed by Burkel with 10.

But a 3-pointer by Jefferson Academy’s junior Alycia Wright tightened the score to 47-46 with 28 seconds left. The Jaguars fouled Lions sophomore Kristen Vigil with four seconds left in the game. Vigil made both of her free throws for the 49-46 advantage. Jefferson Academy attempted the buzzer-beating game-tying 3-pointer at the other end, but missed, losing the game 49-46. Despite missing a few players due to injuries and poor grades, Porter was still pleased with his team’s performance. “I’m so proud of the girls,”
Porter said. “For who we had to be able to play, I’m real proud of them. We’ll find a way.” Lutheran’s Thomas finished the game with 19 points followed by junior Kaleigh Paplow with 10 points. Thomas transferred to Lutheran last spring and had to sit out the first nine games this season. The game against the Jaguars was her first as a Lion. “She’s showed why we’ve been so excited for her to join us,” Duitsman said of Thomas. “She definitely made her presence in the high post.” The Jaguars will host Kent Denver and Bishop Machebeuf Jan. 31 and Feb. 4, respectively. Lutheran plays Faith Christian Jan. 31 and Manual Feb. 4 both at Lutheran High School.
