Stevenson announces retirement Jeffco superintendent stepping down after 12 years By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com There were few dry eyes and even fewer empty seats inside a packed Jefferson County school board meeting on Nov. 7, as supporters of Superintendent Cindy Stevenson showed up to hear the district’s longtime superintendent announce her retirement. “The past 12 years have been the best years of my life,” said Stevenson, often wiping away tears, while announcing that she would retire on June 30, when her contract expires. “This is an exceptional school district and it’s been my honor to lead an amazing staff of talented people.” Stevenson received a standing ovation at the conclusion of her remarks. Stevenson, who was appointed to her position in 2002, will retire as Jefferson County Public Schools’ longest-serving superintendent. A product of the school district that she has led for more than 12 years, Stevenson has worked as a teacher, a principal, or as a member of the superintendent’s office during a span of four decades. School board member Jill Fellman recalled meeting Stevenson for the first time in 1989, when Stevenson taught at Arvada’s Little Elementary School and Fellman was a first-year teacher at Moore Middle School. POSTAL ADDRESS

Jefferson County Schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson speaks in support of a school finance act tax hike during an Aug. 15 rally at Lakewood’s Green Mountain High School. File photo “I just kept thinking when I was that first-year teacher, ‘I want to be like Cindy Stevenson,” Fellman said after the board meeting. Stevenson was named the 2010 Colorado Superintendent of the Year, and was a finalist for the national award that year. Jeffco students have consistently scored above the state average in proficiency test scores during Stevenson’s tenure. And she was an instrumental campaigner for mill levy overrides that Jeffco voters support-

ed in 2010, which allowed the district to stop the financial bleeding that was taking place during the economic downturn. “Her absence will be felt across the district,” said Patti DeLorenzo, a principal at Lakewood’s Devinny Elementary School. “As hard as it may be, administrators will continue to work toward your vision.” But not everything has been sunny for Stevenson as of late. She was a key supporter of Amendment 66, the school finance tax hike that voters flatly rejected on Nov. 5. And Stevenson took a lot of heat from parents for her support of a company with whom the district was to partner with to store student information as part of a data Printed on recycled newsprint.

Bowls bring in donations to feed the hungry By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com The Empty Bowls Project is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger, and for the past seven years, the students and staff of Standley Lake High School have done their part to help feed people in need in their community. The project was created by The Imagine Render Group and according to the project website, www.emptybowls.net, the basic premise is simple: potters, craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls. For SLHS’s participation, students made clay bowls and then sold them during an open house on Nov. 7 for a suggested donation of $5 each. All of the event proceeds were then donated to the Arvada Community Food Bank. “Standley Lake High School and surrounding elementary and middle schools wanted to bring awareness to the issues of hunger affecting our community,” said SLHS art teacher and event organizer Carolyn Valter. “Over 30,000 children die in our world each day of malnourishment diseases. This is one way we can come together and help those who are hungry.” Valter said as teachers, the Empty Bowls Project is a great opportunity to teach students about art, compassion, sharing and collaboration. She said the students involved are always very excited to help others. Some involved are actually the ones who need the food bank assistance, she added. “One of the best parts about being involved in the Empty Bowls Project is the chance to bring everyone together: parents, teachers and students,” she said. “The best part is the collective power that one bowl can make a huge difference for a hungry child in our community. And it’s a great opportunity for students to service their community and to learn the importance of giving.” About 80 hand-crafted bowls were made by high school students and another 170 were created by elementary and middle school students. Although the event is over, teachers and staff will continue to buy bowls for about a week. Walters said in years past, $1,200 to $1,400 was collected annually and donated to the Arvada Food Bank.

Hickenlooper unveils $24 billion budget Health care, education could see increases By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Those dreaded DMV wait times and skyrocketing college costs could see some alleviation, under Gov. John Hickenlooper’s proposed budget for next year. The governor detailed a $24 billion budget — one that he called “equal parts of optimism and prudence” — during a presentation to a state legislative committee on Nov. 7. As presented, the 2014-2015 budget includes increases in total funds and reserves compared to this year, an accomplishment that Hickenlooper attributes to a state economy that has now seen four consecutive years of growth since emerging from a recession. “We have now exceeded pre-Great Recession peak employment levels and there are only a few numbers of states that have done that,” Hickenlooper told the Legislature’s Joint Budget Committee. “This recovery puts Colorado’s economy literally among the very best in the United States.” Hickenlooper singled out four “high priority” areas that will receive special focus as part of next year’s budget: “Education, customer service, health care and public safety.” The proposed budget would cap higher education tuition growth at 6 percent. That would halt a five-year trend that has seen an average tuition rate grow 10 percent, according to Henry Sobanet, the governor’s budget director. The governor also proposes adding more than $40 million for college financial aid, which he called a “historic increase” for higher education funding.

“This budget request would allow more families to send kinds to college,” Hickenlooper told the committee. The budget also proposes a $223 per-pupil increase for K-12 students next year. However, the governor acknowledged that the increase falls short of complying with Amendment 23 — the 2000 measure that reversed a trend where education funding was falling behind the rate of inflation. The governor’s budget does not include education dollars that would have come had Amendment 66 past last week. The tax hike for education funding measure was soundly defeated on Nov. 5. Hickenlooper also seeks to revamp the Division of Motor Vehicles, though increased staffing and updated computer systems, which are a part of “long-overdue steps to modernize DMV.” Report The governor said that the increased funding would significantly reduce wait times for customers who seek services from the often-lampooned state division. “One of the places where Coloradans most frequently interact with government and become aggravated is the Department of Motor Vehicles,” Hickenlooper said. Various health care departments, including Human Services and Public Health and Environment, will see a combined $618 million increase through next year’s proposed budget. And developmentally disabled persons are expected to experience shorter waiting lists for services that include assisted housing, through an additional $22 million in proposed funding. The Department of Corrections — which Hickenlooper said is expected to deal with a 2.3 percent inmate increase — will also receive about $42 million in additional funding next year, about a 6 percent budget increase,

much of which will go toward a parole division makeover and a fugitive apprehension unit. The proposed budget also includes more money for savings. General fund reserves will increase to 6.5 percent, up from 5 percent this year. State Sen. Kent Lambert, R-Colorado Springs, praised Hickenlooper’s efforts to increase reserve funds, especially in light of wildfire and flood disasters that have struck the state in recent years. “I would give you the highest laudatory comments on the fact that we have stayed on that growth toward that state reserve, and we’ve needed it,” Lambert said. And it wouldn’t be a modern-day legislative committee hearing without there being some discussion of marijuana. Hickenlooper said his office will measure economic impacts on retail pot sales that were made legal through last year’s passage of Amendment 64. While acknowledging that the state is sometimes seen as being a marijuana mecca, the governor and Sobanet said Colorado could see positive economic impacts, as a result of the new industry. “There are aspects about how it has tarnished our image around the country,” the governor said of the state’s marijuana industry. “But it is going to have economic benefits.” Sobanet said that the potential for a retail pot industry that has a “functioning regime” in place could bring great business benefits to the state, “once joking around about passing marijuana laws dies down.” The budget also includes funding for marijuana health research, which comes from medical marijuana funding, a prospect that pleases Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver. “Somebody needs to step up and start shining some light on these dark corners of neglected medical research,” he said. The Legislature will take up Hickenlooper’s proposed budget after it reconvenes in January.

Unanimous vote uproots inBloom District cancels student data collection program By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com For months, the Jeffco school board has heard concerns from parents regarding the district’s plans to partner with an outof-state entity for the purposes of storing student data. Now, after receiving an enormous amount of negative feedback from Jeffco parents, the schoolboard on Nov. 7 voted to pull the plug on inBloom, a company that has received resistance from other school districts nationwide. “It’s really important that we come together as a community and do what’s best for our 85,000 kids,” said board member Jill Fellman. “And it was real clear to me that as long as the words ‘inBloom’ were in

play anywhere in our district, that wasn’t going to happen. The school board voted unanimously to sever ties with inBloom, a $100 million company, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, that provides data gathering technology to classroom dashboards. The district still hopes to create a “virtual classroom dashboard” — a system that would hold students’ academic records in a singular database, something that supporters say would better personalize instruction. But those plans no longer include inBloom. The board’s decision was met with disappointment by the Georgiabased company. “Over the last several years, Jeffco has worked hard to put the right pieces in place to begin to transform teaching and learning in its classrooms,” said inBloom spokesman Adam Gaber, through an emailed statement. “While not a silver bul-

let, inBloom was a critical part of this strategy, and today’s decision threatens to unravel all the hard work and progress made to date. This is a huge setback for teachers, students and parents in Jeffco, and an unfortunate result of an ideological debate that will ultimately prevent progress and sacrifice teachers’ learning time with their students.” The company’s data gathering capabilities has generated controversy nationwide, primarily having to do with privacy and security concerns on the part of critics. inBloom’s technology is capable of storing thousands of data points on students, including academic information like reading and math scores. But it can also hold personal data, such as a student’s health information or disciplinary records. Jeffco officials have long-said that the district would decide what information is provided to inBloom, and not the other way around. And the district has insisted that the dashboard — which will be provided by a separate software company called LoudCloud — will only collect pertinent academic information that is already being gathered through existing databases, such as grades, enrollment information and student demographics. With Jeffco serving ties with inBloom, it leaves only two states that are currently

partnering with the company or that will be doing so in the near future — New York and Illinois. Prior to the school board’s decision, inBloom has seen other school districts in other states back away from their partnership plans. Gaber did not directly respond to inBloom’s recent setbacks, replying instead via email that, “We are confident demand will only increase for efficient and cost-effective services like ours that enable teachers to more easily tailor education to the needs, skill levels and learning pace of each student.” Jeffco board president Lesley Dahlkemper said after the meeting that inBloom offered a “promising” integrated system that would have helped teachers “determine what kids were struggling, what kids needed more challenge.” “We really liked that,” she said. “But, I think our community wasn’t there, and I think we heard loud and clear that there were concerns from our community about collecting student achievement data and putting it on a server other than the district server.” Still, Dahlkemper said that she’s “not giving up on the classroom dashboard.” “I think it is a phenomenal tool for teachers and helping kids in our district,” she said. “We just got to figure out the best way to get there.”

Counselor advocate honored By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com When it comes to recognition Janette Walters, the Adams 12 Five Star Schools executive director of schools, is pretty modest. That’s why her colleagues had to secretly nominate her for the 2013 Colorado School Counselor Association, CSCA, Counselor Advocate of the Year. And good thing they did, because she won the award and was recognized for her supportive work in school counseling on Nov. 7 during the CSCA conference. “If I would have known about the nomination, I would have said there was no

need for any type of recognition,” Walters said. “So I was very surprised when I heard the news. I’m not one for the spotlight.” Walters appreciated the honor, but credits the school counselors in the district for their hard work and dedication to the students. She said after budget cuts reduced the counselor staff over the years, the team of counselors really pulled together to provide the education needed to prepare students for their futures, whether it’s entering a two-year or four-year education after high school. “We have all worked hard to have an aligned curriculum for all of our students in all of the ZIP codes in our district,” she

Kids and cash Grant provides funding for personal financial literacy By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com With the help of a grant from Great West Bank, students in the Adams 12 Five Star School District will get a jump in personal financial literacy. The $207,000 grant will provide resources and economic professional development across grades kindergarten through 12th grade. “Through this grant we are able to give teachers the tools and resources they need to teach students about PFL (personal finance literacy)” said Donna O’Brien, district social studies coordinator. O’Brien said one teacher from each elementary school will receive PFL training, and will then train and support the other teachers in the schools. At the middle and high school levels, will receive recourse and professional development in PFL. O’Brien said 11 mini computer labs, with six computers each, will be installed in classrooms throughout the middle schools where students utilize the PFL curriculum. “We are using a blended-learning model with the mini computer labs,” she said. “In a course of a 50-minute class period, students will rotate among stations, one

said. “Giving each student the same opportunity to be able to pursue their career and finding the right college to make that happen.” Walters said each counselor can have up to 500 students at the middle school level and up to 450 students at the high school level. Supporting one another is a priority for the counselors. Walters said she and the counselor steering group meets monthly and the entire group of counselors meets every six months to work on specific needs and discuss resources that can enhance the counseling program. “When we all meet it’s really a time to share our collective knowledge about the

work we do,” she said. “You can no longer survive in education unless you are highly collaborative and learn from each other. And these counselors have really done that. My job is to make sure to get their great ideas put in a systematic approach so everybody can be impacted.” About 15 Adams 12 counselors attended the award ceremony. Walters said the support meant a lot to her and she wouldn’t have been there without them. “The most important thing is the relationships I have with the counselors and the mutual respect for the hard work that they do and being an advocate for them,” she said.

of which would be at the computes.” In the past, Great West Bank provided smaller grants just for teachers rather than for an entire district. But recently, the bank changed their approach and began offering larger district-wide grants. Christina Frantz, senior manager at Great West Bank, said the grants are a way to invest in tomorrow’s business leaders by supporting programs in schools, like the one in Adams 12, to help students prepare for a successful financial future. She said with the help of some grant money, she hopes students in Adams 12 have the opportunity to build a strong foundation with financial knowledge so they will have the tools to achieve their financial goals later in life. “Adams 12 has an incredible staff and working with them I feel confident that what they are doing is truly a unique program,” Frantz said. Part of the grant money will go toward bringing in professionals in specialized fields to work one-on-one with teachers to offer professional development. O’Brien said the grant money will pay for teachers to have a sub during the trainings or pay the teachers in the summer to attend a training. “This is just so exciting for us,” O’Brien said. “PFL is so important to teach our students and with this grant we are able to do that.”

Students learn about career opportunities Nearly 100 businesses volunteer to teach students about job opportunities By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@ourcommunitynews.com More than 5,000 eighth-grade students, dressed in their Sunday best, will converge on the Denver Mart Nov. 19 for the 10th annual Adams County Commissioners Career Expo. Students from various schools in Adams County will get to meet professionals in several different career fields. This year the expo will have close to 100 business vendors participating. “The main purpose is to give students the preparation and resources to become members of a local workforce so that they can have access to earning a living wage,” said Emma Galvin, director of the Adams County Education Consortium. “Reaching out at that age is important. There’s a huge dropout rate between eighth grade and high school.” Adams 12 Five Star Schools has participated in the expo since its inception. “The transition from eighth to ninth grade is a pivotal time for many students,” said Superintendent Chris Gdowski said. “The expo provides a great opportunity to reenergize students and get them thinking about how their course choices and grades in high school can help them achieve their

secondary education and career goals.” The students dress up in professional clothing and even have business cards to hand out to the vendors they visit. “It’s pretty neat to see masses of students dressed in polished attire,” Galvin said. “They act more mature and carry themselves differently.” The expo runs 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., with the schools each getting an hour to visit the vendors. Students pick three professions booths to visit and “interview.” Those vendors critique the students on things like their eye contact, handshake and questions. The vendors chart down the top 10 students who visit them and the top students overall are given plaques. “It’s a cool way for students to gain confidence. They get excited about it,” Galvin said. The vendors represent many fields and are grouped in clusters such as business management & administration; agriculture; architecture & construction; technology & communication; hospitality; education and government. “We’ve had incredible participation from our businesses, some have participated every single year,” Galvin said. More than 450 volunteers help out with the expo, including the business vendors. Galvin said that the event has been duplicated by Douglas County and Denver Public Schools. “It’s pretty neat. Along the Front Range its set a precedent,” Galvin said.

LEGISLATIVE NEWS Event outlines crisis response approach

Community Reach Center’s crisis response approach and community partnerships were the focus of its 2013 Legislative Breakfast on Nov. 6, at Noah’s of Westminster. More than 120 guests learned how Community Reach Center supports individuals during a time of crisis as well as its efforts to prevent crises via supports and services. The breakfast was attended by Colo-

rado legislators and local elected officials, including state Rep. Jenice May of District 30, Steve Lebsock of District 34, Cherylin Peniston, of District 35, Thornton Mayor Heidi K. Williams and Adams County District Attorney Dave Young. Clinical Director Abigail Tucker, Psy.D., shared details and data about Community Reach Center’s emergency response programs, including its Emergency Services Team, which is available around the clock

to help individuals who are in a state of crisis. In Fiscal Year 2013, the center provided nearly 2,000 crisis assessments and its 24-hour crisis line received an average 336 calls per month. “A crisis is defined by the individual,” Tucker said. “Our emergency services programs are designed to meet people where they’re at. When someone is experiencing a crisis, we are listening and we are supporting them.”

Tucker also explained the Center’s Crisis Response Team, which is a bridge between an individual’s recent crisis and engagement in clinical programs, and the Crisis Intervention Team, CIT, training, which helps police officers respond “appropriately and compassionately” to an individual experiencing a mental-health crisis. The Center has trained more than 450 officers in CIT since the program began in 2005.

NYT presents ‘Shrek The Musical’ Ogre, princess, dragon, and a donkey — oh my! By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@ourcommunitynews.com If you liked the movie “Shrek,” you’ll enjoy the musical production put on by the Northglenn Youth Theatre. NYT will perform “Shrek The Musical” Nov. 15-24 at the D.L. Parsons Theatre, 11801 Community Center Drive. “It mirrors the original movie pretty closely,” said NYT director Kimberly Jongejan. “I think (the audience) will have a fun time — it’s so hysterical, the music is so fun and peppy.” For 17-year-old Collin Hill of Thorn-

ton, the music is the most challenging thing about his role as Shrek. “Some of these songs are killer and are really stretching me out of my comfort zone vocally,” he said. “But, being comfortable isn’t always a good thing when you are a performer. I’m growing and learning so much from NYT.” This is Hill’s first production with NYT, and he says what he loves most about the character of Shrek is that he gets to play an array of emotions — funny, angry, heroic and vulnerable — all in one show. “To me, Shrek is such a relatable character, and I really wanted the chance to portray that,” said Hill, who attends The Academy in Westminster. “Everybody has most likely felt like an outcast and had the desire to be accepted. It may not be what

you pictured, but you can have your own perfect happy ending. I really believe that is what this show is about and why I was so excited to be NYT’s Shrek.” The biggest challenge for 15-year-old Brendan Patrick Lynch of Northglenn is juggling the rehearsals and the mindset for the three characters he plays — King Herald, Pied Piper and a Dulocian. “I personally love the character of the Pied Piper because it has allowed me to progress in dancing and learn another aspect to the stage, as well as gain experience in portraying a character through primarily body movement,” said Lynch, who attends Jefferson Academy in Broomfield. He has performed in several NYT productions, including Charlie in “Charlie

and the Chocolate Factory,” Lysander in “Midsummer Night’s Midterm,” and a brother in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” For Jongejan, the challenges of putting on “Shrek” were related to the larger props that either had to be created or rented — such as the dragon. She said this was a challenge because of time and money restrictions. Renting a dragon would have cost the theater $4,000 to $5,000, but the theater was able to design and create a pop-up puppet dragon. “Shrek performances are Friday and Saturday evenings at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Nov. 15-24. Tickets are $8 for adults, $7 for seniors and children and are available by calling 303-450-8800.

Finding that balance in social media So I had an interesting experience this past week regarding the use my Facebook account, or maybe I should say misuse of my account. What I had done was accept friend requests or connect with people that I work with on a professional level. I had connected with all of my family members, friends, co-workers, business associates, and customers and really thought it was a great way to stay in touch, keep up with their activities and interests and allow them to keep up with what I was doing. The problem was that I had some new things happening in my life, good and exciting things that I was sharing via my Facebook account. As much as I was excited about the cool things going on, apparently there were one or two co-workers who I was connected with on Facebook who felt compelled to stalk my activities and adventures as I posted them on Facebook and further decided to share them with others in the company. Now there was nothing weird or unnatural about my Facebook posts, these folks just thought that they should share my life’s journey with everyone else at the office. This actually caused a little drama and unfortunately resulted in the need for me to “unfriend” all of the people I work with. And at first I was a little disappointed, hurt, and angry. But then as I thought more about it, perhaps Facebook is a much better application to be used with family and friends and connect or

I do believe in the power of social media, and my two favorites are Facebook and LinkedIn. Finding the balance between the two and distancing my personal life from my professional life has actually been a blessing and relief. I would love to hear all about your experiences using Facebook or LinkedIn at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we interact with my business associates and co-workers in a different way. I already do that via LinkedIn, and since I only use LinkedIn for business reasons, it made so much more sense. The past week has been a test for me, I do miss keeping up with some of my co-workers through Facebook, but I think my anger, hurt, and disappointment have been replaced by a true sense of balance. Facebook for friends and family members and LinkedIn for co-workers and business associates. So far it is working beautifully. Now I understand that many people use Facebook to connect with everyone in one location and they never have issues like I experienced. And I know many people that network and get referrals through Facebook and use it as a professional selling or marketing tool. And for those of you who have found success in using Facebook for business or professional reasons and have not had to deal with drama, I applaud you.

opinions / yours and ours

Take precautions this holiday season The holiday season is a beautiful time of year that can bring people together. But it can also be a time fraught with hazards. That’s something that can easily be overlooked amid the shopping, cooking, partying and keeping warm by the fire. But we encourage you to consider some of the following tips to make the closing weeks of 2013 memorable for the right reasons.

Snuff out fire danger

Winter residential fires — which peak in December and January — result in 945 deaths and cause nearly $2 billion in property damage nationally in a typical year, according to the U.S. Fire Administration, an entity of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It’s not quite winter yet, but recent cold snaps remind us that it’s on the way. The administration has some advice to keep fire threats at bay, which we share below. A more detailed list of things you can do can be found at www.usfa.fema.

our view gov/citizens/home_fire_prev/holiday-seasonal/winter.shtm • Cooking is the leading cause of these types of fires. Unattended cooking is the No. 1 culprit, so stay in the kitchen when frying, grilling or broiling. Wear short, close-fitting clothing, for obvious reasons. Maybe most important, stay alert at all times. • Heating sources — including furnaces, fireplaces and space heaters — are another major cause of fires in the home. It is important to keep flammable materials at a safe distance, generally considered to be 3 feet or more, from a heating source. If you’re using a space heater, it is highly recommended that you plug it directly into the outlet and not use an extension cord. Also, make sure your home has a

working smoke alarm and that you have an escape plan for yourself and your family, should a fire occur. • An estimated 240 house fires involving Christmas trees and another 150 involving holiday lights and other decorations occur in a typical year in the United States. So, among other things, keep your tree watered and do not overload electrical outlets with lights.

Protect your identity

For many, shopping is a holiday hobby, one that carries a risk of identity theft, whether online or at the mall. The Federal Trade Commission has some advice to help keep important, private information secure. More information can be found at www.consumer.ftc. gov/features/feature-0014-identity-theft • Travel light. Do not carry around more credit, debit or identification cards than you really need. • Shred receipts once you no longer need them. When at the store or mall, you might want to keep those receipts in your

pocket instead of in the bag, which can be lost or stolen. • The online realm has its own set of dangers. Be very cautious of whom you give your personal information. Getting a new computer or phone? Wipe out all of your private information before discarding the old one. And, of course, keep your passwords private.

Drinking? Don’t drive

Holiday parties often involve alcohol. Some people drink too much, then decide to drive, and the results can be horrific. In fact, Mothers Against Drunk Driving reports that 43 percent of driving fatalities on Christmas Day are alcohol-related. DUI enforcement generally goes up this time of year as well, so there’s an increased risk to drunken drivers’ wallets, as a conviction can be costly, both in court fees and higher insurance costs. If you’re going to drink, taking a cab or using a sober designated driver are common-sense solutions to avoid hurting yourself and others.

A whole new look Well, it is good to be back with the newspaper after the “election season” to share some opinions and thoughts on what is happening from local colorful stuff to newsy items at the state level to “easy pickin’s” on the national front as well as international intrigue.

Westy’s new line-up

It was a “given” going into the city election that there would be three new faces on the City Council and a different mayor. And sure enough, the democratic process worked again and we have Emma Pinter, Bruce Baker and Alberto Garcia as new council members. With Herb Atchison winning the mayor’s position outright without a run-off, a fourth new council member will need to be appointed by the new City Council. That my friends represent a new majority on Westminster City Council. That does not happen very often in Westminster where incumbents have an easy time of getting re-elected. In this case, term limits caused Mayor Nancy McNally and councillors Mary Lindsey, Mark Kaiser and Scott Major to vacate their seats. It will be interesting to see how the new councillors and Atchison “gel” compared to the prior group who were heavily influenced by McNally with the exception of Atchison.

Plenty of issues

The new City Council will have plenty to address as it gets situated in their council seats. The re-development of the former Westminster Mall site was the most prominent issue mentioned on the campaign trail and by residents. It has been four years of “fits and starts” with unsuccessful negotiations with potential master developers. Recently, the staff rolled out a new site plan based on the work of out-of-state land planning experts and the council rubber stamped it. I question the wisdom of the city being its own “master developer” with a piece-meal approach to such a large and diverse development. We learned the hard way while I was city manager with the plan-

ning and development of the Promenade that government doesn’t always know what best works with developers, tenant leases etc. Hopefully, the new mayor and council will revisit the appropriate role for the city government to play in this important redevelopment endeavor. The taxpayers are expecting some results in the near future.

School finances

Providing more tax dollars to fund public schools was “not to be” this election. The statewide Amendment 66 income tax took a huge beating as did the Adams 50 School District’s mill levy override attempt. But folks, this is not the end of the story. By serving as Chair of the Adams 50 Fiscal Oversight Committee, I know that next fiscal year’s budget (July 1, 2014) will force tough decisions on what to cut out of the budget. Unless one of the existing schools is closed, it will basically mean cutting teachers in the classroom. There isn’t much else left to cut. The $5.25 Million in new property tax revenue would have offset the cash reserves used to balance the current budget. With little left in reserves that “well” is about dry.

Congrats and lament

Congrats to the winners in the various mayoral, city council and school board races throughout the north area. We applaud your willingness to serve the public good. And to those who ran and did not win, we say thank you for your interest and effort. Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member

Falling for the season of autumn ‘Oh, What a Beautiful Morning’

Remember the lyrics from the musical “Oklahoma.” “Oh, what a beautiful day. I’ve got a wonderful feeling, everything’s going my way.” This has been the most beautiful fall, hasn’t it? The sunrises and sunsets are just breathtaking and the warm days are wonderful for sitting on the front porch. We still have our large pumpkin display up and the squirrels are pigging out on the seeds. Each of the dozen large pumpkins have been eaten on. I’ve kept several more in the garage to put out for a Thanksgiving display.

Finally it’s over

Aren’t you glad to have our local elections over? They consumed so much of our time and energy. By the time you read this we will have a new mayor for Westminster. Herb Atchison won enough votes to eliminate a run-off election. Herb will

will be Thanksgiving. We also bid a sad goodbye to Butch Hicks. Butch served on the Westminster City Council and was active in Democrat politics. Butch will be sorely missed in our community.

On a happier note

serve us well and we wish God speed on his four-year journey. Congratulations are also in order for the three new councilors. Emma Pinter won big, Bruce Baker was a real surprise as he did little campaigning and Alberto Garcia won with 500 plus votes to spare. I don’t like mail-in voting but will leave that discussion for another time. Right now is a good time to leave politics on all fronts and think of the many birthdays and Veterans Day and soon it

Electing for change Well, if you weren’t a fan of the way things were going, last Tuesday was a good day for you. Think about this: in Jefferson County, the block of school board candidates that outspent their opponents by a wide margin all lost by a wide margin. Though being heavily outspent, the block of candidates that ran as “reform” candidates enjoyed a comfortable victory. So the Jefferson County School Board now has a majority of “reformers.” Exactly what that means has yet to be determined — reform is one of those all-purpose, nebulous words that could mean whatever you choose to affix to it, like “hope” and “change.” Though we do know one immediate consequence of that mantle: Jeffco will also have a new Superintendant next year. So, whatever else you can say, it is safe to say that Jeffco Schools will be a different place next year. Then, on top of that, a major statewide initiative to fund the schools to the tune of $1 trillion a year was on the ballot. This measure had over $10 million behind it, vastly outspending the paltry few hundred thousand the opponents of the measure scraped together. In all that advertising, the word “reform” made a cameo appearance, but there was never a concrete idea of what schools would look like with an additional trillion dollars — it looked like an initiative asking for a lot of money to do the same old things. Still, it was kind of shocking that, despite blanket advertising the last few weeks, Amendment 66 was beaten down by a two to one margin. A lot of my colleagues think all of this means something close to the end of the world for the schools. They never consider the possibility that the “reform” candidates actually do care about kids, or that the voters really did have something other than completely selfish motives in mind as they cast their ballots. But I think those colleagues are taking too narrow a view of the election. It’s easy to assign nefarious motive to your political

The signature collection in to recall Sen. Evie Hudak is absurd.

opponents, rather than deal with their arguments, and, therefore, you assume bad motives of their supporters, too. But, if you move the camera lens out a little wider, you remember that the month of October featured a government shut down. It also featured the rollout of the biggest federal program in decades, which was a complete disaster. All of that comes on the heels of a contentious legislative session in this state, which featured an extreme and unpopular power play by the majority. In fact, that session was so contentious that, so far, it’s caused two state senators to get fired by their constituents. Last week’s election, in my humble opinion, was about a lot more than a school board or money. I suspect we may look back at last week’s election as a first salvo in a war on the status quo. Every poll shows that Americans are dissatisfied with the direction of the country, and that they hold those in power in very low esteem. But normally, we voters tend to stick by incumbents at a 90 percent or better clip — not last week. Given the opportunity, Jefferson County voters just threw out the whole lot of ‘em, at least by proxy. If I were an incumbent next year, I’d be running scared. The voters are ticked off, and, apparently, they’re not going to take it any more. Michael Alcorn is a music teacher and fitness instructor who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children.

INFLATION: Cutting money in half without damaging the paper. RAISIN: Grape with sunburn. SECRET: Something you tell to one person at a time. TOOTHACHE: The pain that drives you to extraction. TOMORROW: One of the greatest labor saving devices of today. YAWN: An honest opinion openly expressed. WRINKLES: Something other people have, similar to my character lines. Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned.

extremist groups. Their goal is to impeach a well respected representative defending the rights of the people. Sen. Hudak voted to keep us safe. We have seen enough gun deaths in our state. Don’t let the minority speak for the rest of us. Don’t sign the petition to recall Sen. Evie Hudak. Just say no to tyranny! Michele Melio Westminster

Officers learn about mental illness Program teaches law enforcement how to de-escalate situations By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@ourcommunitynews.com

In this Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) scenario, Thornton police officer AJ White talks with a scared and paranoid man (played by actor Kevin Lowry of Twopenny Productions). This scenario, in which Officer White de-escalates the situation by building rapport with the confused and defensive man, is an example of the skills that several of the police officers will learn as students of a recent CIT training course.

Five percent of the U.S. population has a mental illness or symptoms of mental illness, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. This number means that officers often come across someone experiencing mental health symptoms, maybe even daily, said Mary Ann B. Hewicker, coordinator with the Adams County Crisis Intervention Team (CIT). “Depression is, sadly, prevalent in our society,” she said. Because of this regular occurrence, it is CIT’s goal to train law enforcement on what is mental health illness, how to identify it and how to de-escalate a situation involving someone experiencing it. More than 20 officers from Thornton, Westminster, Adams County Sheriff’s Office, Broomfield, Aurora and the University of Colorado/Denver participated in CIT’s 40hour, weeklong training Oct. 21-25. CIT training in Adams County is funded by Community Reach Center and the Sheriff’s Office. “(The training) fosters compassion and empathy and helps officers respond appropriately,” said Jennifer Forker, communications coordinator with Community Reach Center. “I’ve heard from officers afterward that it’s exhausting training — both physically and emotionally — primarily because of the role playing they do, which gets pretty realistic.”

Officers in class learn the basics of mental health illness in the morning, and then participate in role-playing in the afternoon. CIT hires local actors to play out various scenarios to help officers diffuse a situation in a safe manner — such as someone barricaded in a bedroom or someone wanting to kill himself. “CIT is necessary because over the years, evidence based research has shown us officers need one more tool in their kit — verbal skill,” Hewicker said. Beyond the academics and role-playing, officers also do a meet-and-greet at CIT and meet clients who are suffering from mental illness. Hewicker said this socializing is beneficial for the officers and the clients. “The clients see that the police do come out of their uniform and are real people,” she said. CIT puts on the program a few times a year, and it is hosted by different departments throughout the county. Thornton police hosted last month’s program. “Our crisis intervention training goal is to improve an individual’s access to the most appropriate mental health treatment and resources, and ultimately to decrease the utilization of hospital emergency departments, incarceration, and homeless programs for mental health emergencies,” said Officer Matt Barnes, spokesperson with the Thornton police. “We currently have approximately one-third of our officers CIT trained, with more anticipated to be trained in the near future.” Students in the class either pass or fail, and they receive a certificate at the end of the week during a graduation ceremony. The next CIT training is scheduled for March 2014.

Satisfied singer in lofty crowd Ask local vocal Chris Daniels how he’s doing three years after his bone marrow transplant, and he channels legendary soul singer James Brown: “I feel good,” Daniels told me last week during an interview before his Nov. 8 induction into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. “Do you ever say cured? No, but I say that’s OK,” Daniels adds. Daniels was diagnosed with a fierce form of leukemia in 2010. After receiving a “perfect match” bone marrow transplant from his sister, Jane Moffett, he set his sights on getting back on stage to perform with The Kings, his band of nearly 30 years. Daniels, along with other Colorado musicians — legendary folk singer Judy Collins, the Serendipity Singers and Bob Lind — was inducted during a concert at the Paramount Theatre. “Judy was a hero to me and a lot of other musicians because she was not as operatic a singer as Joan (Baez),” Daniels said about his famous fellow inductee. “She had soul and grit in her beautiful voice and she was a great guitar and piano player. My mother’s favorite song was Judy’s version of ‘Both Sides Now’ by Joni Mitchell. It’s an amazing honor to go into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame with her.” In between writing music and performing, Daniels teaches music business at the University of Colorado-Denver as an assistant professor for the College of Arts and Media. “I really wanted to get back into teaching,” Daniels said about his post-transplant days. “It really refocused me. I was grading papers and working with substitute teachers when I was in the hospital. One time I was doing lectures by Skype. (The students) are 19- or 20-year-old wise apples ... I really have great hope and enthusiasm for this generation coming out.”

For the kidneys

Through Nov. 17, DaVita, a division of DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. and a leading provider of kidney care services, partners with three Denver-area restaurants to build awareness for kidney disease with kidney-friendly and diabetes-friendly menus in honor of November as National Diabetes Awareness Month. Each restaurant will offer at least one appetizer, entrée and dessert that are kidney- or diabetesfriendly. Participating restaurants for dinner service are: Table 6, 609 Corona St., (www. table6denver.com); beast + bottle, 719 E. 17th Ave., (www.beastandbottle.com) and YaYa’s Euro Bistro, 8310 E. Belleview Ave., Greenwood Village, (www.yayasdenver. com). Denver-area residents can assess their risk at www.davita.com/kidneyaware.

Miners Alley production goes behind the scenes on holiday classic By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com Miners Alley Playhouse is giving a timeless holiday standard a different spin this season, with its production of “It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play.” The show takes audiences behind the scenes of a 1940s radio production of Frank Capra’s seminal film, and not only tells the story of What: “It’s A Wonderful the Baileys, but of the actors Life: A Live Radio Play” as well. WhERE: Miners Alley “It’s A Wonderful Life: A Playhouse Life Radio Play” will be at the 1224 Washington Ave., theater, 1224 Washington Ave. Golden in Golden, through Dec. 22. WhEN: Through Dec. 22. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday every Friday and Saturday and 7:30 p.m. 2 p.m. on Sunday. There will Sunday - 2 p.m. be Thursday performances at Thursdays, Dec. 5, 12 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 5, 12 and 19. and - 7:30 p.m. “For the show, our interCOSt: $23 adult pretation is that you really $20 senior and youth can’t tell the story and satisfy $12 children under 12 the audience because they alINFORMatION: most all know the story,” said 303-935-3044 or visit director Robert Kramer. “This www.minersalley.com version stars five fictional actors doing the radio version, and with that the audience starts watching different things.” The actors are Jake Laurents (Christian Mast), who plays George Bailey on the radio, Sally Applewhite (Haley Johnson), who plays Mary Bailey, and Freddie Filmore( David Blumenstock), Harry “Jazzbo” Heywood (Jason Maxwell), Lana Sherwood (Samara Bridwell) and The Stage Manager (Bryanna Scott) who play the rest of the characters in the story. The show made its debut at Miners Alley in 2009,

IF YOU GO

and was so popular that it brought back this year. Kramer was the director of its first production, and he brought around threefifths of the original cast back with him. Johnson is one of the returning actors, and said it’s been really fun revisiting the play. “I forget how really funny it can be,” she said. “It’s been really fun and silly getting back with everyone.” One of the new cast members is Mast, Johnson’s husband in real life. He said that while he saw the original production, actually being in the show has been quite the task. “Being in the play was something I wanted the first time, so I’m really happy to have the chance now,” he said. “It’s been a tight rehearsal schedule, and learning all the lines and the sound effects has been a really fun challenge.” Kramer said the way the play is written calls for not a lot of work from the actors, intending it to be more of a behind the scenes of a radio show story, but Kramer wanted it to have a fuller feeling. “I love the technical stuff, but it can lose its charm after a while,” he said. “It lacks something if you just do it straight like that.” Kramer said he wanted to give audiences a special holiday treat, and so starting 20 minutes before each performance members of the cast will come out and perform one of three short Christmas stories. For all involved, “It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play” will give audiences a story that they love, but with a different spin. “Even though people may be familiar with the movie, doing it as a radio show gives it several different layers,” Mast said. “It’s a really great story not only about the Baileys, but the people performing and how they interact.”

Best Boulder bites

The Daily Meal website (www.thedailymeal.com) has included Boulder in its list of America’s Best Small Towns For Food 2013. Here’s what the website said: “Normally, college towns are filled with chain restaurants and late-night greasy spoons, but Boulder’s cuisine is nothing short of phenomenal. With a heavy emphasis on local, seasonal dishes, The Kitchen and its sister restaurants are offering very healthful cuisine packed with flavor. Shine Restaurant and Gathering Place boasts a local, seasonal, and allergy-free menu catering to those with gluten and lactose intolerance, as well as offering vegan and vegetarian options. And finally, there’s Frasca Food & Wine for a fine-dining Italian experience.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 11, 2013

GALLERY OF GAMES & weekly horoscope

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Keep your feelings to yourself as you work through an awkward circumstance. Complaining is useless, and also unwise since your words could come back to haunt you. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A sudden flash of Bovine practicality shows you how you might be able to turn your artistic pursuits into a profitable venture. A spouse or partner offers some sage advice. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Be prepared with several “Plan Bs” that you might have to use as backups just in case you encounter some troublesome complications with your carefully constructed schedule. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You might think you’ll never have a free moment again with the demands of the workplace piling on. Cheer up. The pressure eases as holiday time nears. An old friend brings good news. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Your Leonine pride might make it difficult to offer an apology to a co-worker you unintentionally offended. But a quick and sincere “I’m sorry” could prevent problems down the line. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) This is a good time to tackle those backed-up chores that have kept you from moving into other and potentially more worthwhile projects. A personal matter needs your attention. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You usually have no problem rushing to the defense of someone you perceive as being treated unjustly. But perceptions could be deceiving this week. Check the facts before you act. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Before you point fingers at who might be to blame for the unexpected change in your plans, take a few moments to reflect on how this turn of events might be a blessing in disguise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You seek out advice in the first part of the week. But be careful not to let counsel from others overshadow your own sense of perception. Things become clearer by the week’s end. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The trusted colleagues you relied on earlier continue to offer support with your project. But you take more control, and by the week’s end, you should be in full command. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Rely on your practical side while exploring investment possibilities. Caution is still your watchword in these matters. Your social life takes a gratifying turn by the week’s end. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) An already confusing situation appears to grow murkier during the first part of the week. But it all starts to clear by the week’s end. Plan to spend the weekend with someone special. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a passion for life that inspires others to follow your example. You could be a motivational speaker. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Cherokee Trail too much for Mountain Range Mustangs fall in second round of State Tournament By Kate Ferraro

kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com AURORA — Mountain Range’s first ever appearance in the playoffs ended when it lost to No. 6 Cherokee Trail in the second round of the 5A Football State Tournament Nov. 8 at Legacy Stadium in Aurora. The Mustangs came into the postseason as the No. 11 seed, making history as the first football team at Mountain Range to make the playoffs. The Mustangs played a successful first round defeating Heritage 24-20 Nov. 1, however its playoff run came to a halt with a 41-7 loss against the Cougars. “The result is not how we wanted it to turn out,” Mountain Range quarterback Andrew Wamsley said. “I can’t say that I’m not happy about this season. Just to make it as far as we have and be the first team ever to break records, it’s a big thing to me.” The Mustangs finished their 2013 campaign with a 9-2 record, only losing one game, to Grand Junction, before the postseason. Despite the loss, Wamsley said this year was the best season they’ve ever had, not just game-wise, but the players’ chemistry mixed really well also. “It’s a great feeling to know this is the actual team, the actual family, the actual brotherhood that we’ve had in this program,” Wamsley said. “We’ve never had this. We’ve battled through it all.” Cherokee Trail runningback Cam-

eron Smith scored twice for the Cougars in the first half of the game, a five- and 10-yard touchdown run. Running back Izaiah Lottie added to the score for the Cougars with a 34-yard touchdown run. Wide receiver Evan White caught a 40-yard pass for a touchdown at the end of the second quarter, making the score 27-0 at halftime. The Cougars missed two point-after-touchdowns and a twopoint conversion, but it didn’t matter. The Cougars scored two more times in the second half for the 41-7 win. Mountain Range running back Gabe Gillespie scored the only touchdown for the Mustangs when he ran the ball seven yards into the endzone with 36 seconds left in the game. Gillespie led the Front Range League in rushing yards with 1, 324. That’s 337 more yards than the second place leader Langston Stuckey from Fort Collins with 987 yards. Gillespie also led the league in scoring points with 118. Wamsley finished his senior season with 1,232 passing yards, progressing from his junior season where he had 1,024. Wamsley said he really perfected his game this year and would like the opportunity to continue playing football in college. “I’m going to miss everything about it,” Wamsley said about high school football. “To be in the position that I’m at and see my success that I’ve grown from my sophomore year to my senior year, it’s a great improvement that I’m very proud of.”

kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com Holy Family missed three extra point attempts in its game against Delta in the first round of the 3A Football State Championships Nov. 9 at Holy Family High School. While with most games it doesn’t matter, the Tigers would later realize those extra points would be a crucial part of their game against the Panthers that sent the match into overtime. No. 13 Delta forced overtime when they tied the game at 35 with two minutes left in regulation. The Panthers started with the ball first immediately receiving a holding call bringing the ball back to the 20-yard line. After two incomplete passes, wide receiver Ryan Whiteside caught a pass on 3rd and 20 for the 42-35 lead. Holy Family quarterback David Sommers made it look easy running the ball three times for a touchdown on third down. Kicker Marco Lonardo came out to kick the extra point, but instead missed as the ball sailed wide right. The Tigers lost the game 42-41, ending their season with an 8-2 record. “I’m just sad that it ended this way,” Sommers said, who went 13for-24 for 291 yards and scored four touchdowns for the Tigers. It was a back and forth game as

Delta running back Tyler Sandoval helped the Panthers to score first in the game with a nine-yard touchdown run. Sommers answered back right away with a 60-yard touchdown run on Holy Family’s first play of the game. The extra point was blocked by the Panthers. After Delta scored again in the first quarter, Holy Family wide receiver Weston Dinsmore caught a 53-yard pass for the Tiger’s second touchdown of the game. The Tigers made a two-point conversion to tie the score at 14. Panthers running back Jonny

Ponce ran 53 yards for a touchdown and the team led 21-14 at the end of the first quarter. Sommers scored his second touchdown of the game, while Dinsmore scored this second, with the extra point no good, before the end of the half. Sandoval scored right before halftime for Delta taking the 28-27 lead at halftime, but not for long as Sommers ran for 57 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. The Tigers made another two-point conversion helping Holy Family to their first lead of the game at 35-28. “I have to give it up to Delta, they played one heck of a game,” Sommers said. “They made plays and we didn’t, so I have to give it up to them.”

County receives top award for master plan

The Adams County Board of Commissioners accepted an award from the American Planning Association’s (APA) Colorado Chapter last week. The APA award, announced in October, honors the Adams County Parks and Community Resources staff with the Outstanding Planning Project Honor Award — the association’s top award — for the Adams County Open Space, Parks, and Trails Master Plan. The Open Space, Parks, and Trails Master Plan serves as a blueprint of how to best manage the county’s open spaces. The plan addresses regional trail connectivity, provision of parks in unincorporated Adams County, and the conservation of natural resources with and without public access. The APA awards committee indicated that Adams County’s project was chosen because it demonstrated strong outreach to citizens, community excitement for the plan, and innovation for agricultural lands.

HOW WILL YOU FINANCE THE FUTURE?

Adams County Board of Commissioners presented the county’s Finance Department with the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award received from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the United States and Canada. The award presentation was made during the Oct. 28, 2013 public hearing. The Distinguished Budget Presentation Award was received for the annual budget for the fiscal year beginning Jan. 1, 2013. In order to earn this award, a budget document must satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. This is the 24th consecutive year that Adams

County has received this award. “It is indeed an honor for our county to receive this coveted recognition for so many consecutive years,” said Board Chair Eva J. Henry. “We congratulate the Adams County budget team on this remarkable achievement and thank them for a job well done.” The GFOA is a nonprofit professional association serving approximately 14,000 government finance professionals. The GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program is the only national awards program in governmental budgeting.

E-470 releases third quarter traffic, toll revenue results

E-470 traffic rose 7.2 percent in the first nine months of the year compared to the same period in 2012, helping boost toll revenues by 9.7 percent. Traffic, as measured in total toll transactions, improved from 40.5 million in 2012 to 43.4 million in 2013. Toll revenues rose $87.1 million to $95.5 million. The increase in traffic, coupled with a toll increase effective on Jan. 1, resulted in an increase in net toll revenues from $87.1 million to $95.5 million. Actual toll transactions equaled 101.8 percent of E-470’s 42.6 million year-to-date transaction projection. Net toll revenue for the period was 102.6 percent of the year-to-date budgeted $93.1 million. E-470 is the 75 mph toll road that runs along the eastern perimeter of the Denver metropolitan area. The road is financed, constructed, operated and governed by the E-470 Public Highway Authority, which is composed of eight local governments: Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, and the municipalities of Aurora, Brighton, Commerce City, Parker and Thornton.
