Good eats at Goody’s By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ ourcoloradonews.com James Hondrogiannis has been in the restaurant business since age 6. The Westminster resident started out with simple jobs like washing dishes and busing tables, before graduating to manager at his father’s restaurant, the Parkway Café in Federal Heights. Now Hondrogiannis is putting all of that experience and knowledge to the test with the opening of his own place, Goody’s Eatery in south Westminster. “After growing up in restaurants, I always knew I would open my own,” he said. “It takes a lot of passion, but it’s worth it.” Everything made from scratch, including fresh-cut hash browns and homemade green chili, Goody’s Eatery is a breakfast and lunch restaurant. Located in the old Westy’s Café building at 3010 W. 72nd Ave., the interior has been completely transformed from the ground up. With help from his family, Hondro-
Corned beef hash and eggs is just one of many items on the menu at Goody’s Eatery, a breakfast and lunch restaurant in south Westminster. giannis designed the restaurant to be light and airy with a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. “When the building became available we really wanted to revitalize it for this part of Westminster,” he said. “The location is great with a lot of traffic, especially be-
ing down the street from the future light rail. It took a lot of work and a long time, but it feels really good to have a hand in it from the beginning.” Goody’s continues on Page 13
State Sen. Evie Hudak could be in a lose-lose situation, and she knows it. The Westminster Democrat acknowledges that if organizers behind a recall effort collect enough signatures to force a special election, there is only one sure-fire way that she will remain a senator. “The way I win is if they don’t get enough signatures,” she said during a recent interview with Colorado Community Media. “Other than that, I think you’re right, that I’m in a lose-lose situation if they get enough signatures. People will be angry if I were to resign. People would be angry if I were to be recalled.” Hudak refused to answer affirmatively if she will run in a recall election, if things go that far. “Obviously, people like you have forced me to contemplate,” she said. “The reason I can’t make a decision is because I don’t know if they’re going to have enough signatures. There are a lot of things in play. “Right now, I want to remain a senator. I think I’ve done a good job.” Hudak was asked whether it would send a bad message if a lawmaker steps aside from office, through the mere threat of a recall — without even fighting back in an election to keep his or her seat. “You’re expressing why it’s so difficult, and why I can’t give you an answer right now,” she said. Organizers have until Dec. 3 to submit 18,962 valid signatures of District 19 voters to the secretary of state’s office. Hudak’s district includes Westminster and Arvada. Hudak has run in tough elections before. She initially won her Senate seat in 2008 with 51 percent of the vote. Last year, Hudak was re-elected by a slim margin of 342 votes over her Republican opponent, and one where a Libertarian candidate received 6.5 percent support. Hudak is the third Democratic lawmaker to be targeted for recall. The other two, former Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs and Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo, lost their races. The group that is behind the recall effort, which calls itself Recall Hudak Too, has a laundry list of reasons why she should be recalled. Clearly, though, Hudak is being targeted over her support of gun legislation that was signed into law this year, and because she is a vulnerable Democrat whose loss in a special election could flip control in the General Assembly’s upper chamber to the Republicans. That’s why there has been chatter among state politicos that Hudak could end up resigning from office, a move that would allow another Democrat to hold that important seat. “At this time, I have no intention of resigning,” she said.

Votes counted for Speers in Adams 12 race By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ourcoloradonews.com Around this time, most city councils and school boards are welcoming newly elected officials. But in the Adams 12 Five Star School district, one position still remains unoccupied. On Nov. 18, Denver Chief District Judge Robert Hyatt ordered the clerks of Adams
and Broomfield counties to count the votes cast for Amy Speers in the District 4 race against Rico Figueroa. Speers was ineligible to run for District 4 because she resides outside of District 4 boundaries. After the votes were tallied, Speers ended up with the most votes. In Adams County Speers earned 63 percent of the votes, over Figueroa’s 34 percent. Numbers were

similar in Broomfield, with Speers earning 66 percent of the votes and Figueroa earning just 38 percent. “I am very happy that the people in the community get to hear the results and glad their voices were heard,” Speers said. “It is bittersweet for me.” According to the district website, the order made by Hyatt invalidates the emergency rule that the Secretary of State issued on Nov. 5 that stated, ““If the designated election official determines, after ballots are printed, that an individual whose name appears on the ballot is not qualified for office, the votes cast for that individual are invalid and must not be counted.” After the election a group of plaintiffs filed a suit against the Secretary of States’ authority to administrate the emergency rule. The Secretary of State had until Nov. 21 to appeal the ruling. As for moving forward, Joe Ferdani, Ad-
ams 12 communications director, said the school board will accept the certified votes from the counties during a Dec. 2 meeting, which will also include the swearing-in of District 3 board member Kathy Speers Plomer, but due to the ongoing legal process the district is unsure where everything will be for the District 4 position. If the District 4 seat is declared vacant, Ferdani said the board has 60 days to appoint a new board member. “As soon as we know the finality of the court proceedings, that will create more clarity for next steps,” he said. “There are many moving pieces and parts to this.” Until then, Figueroa will remain on the board until he is elected or another person is appointed.

Commissioners approve natural gas pipeline Second attempt for underground, 33-mile pipeline succeeds By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@ourcommunitynews.com The second attempt for Front Range Pipeline’s application to build a natural gas pipeline through the county proved successful. The Adams County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved the application for a land-use permit during its Nov. 18 regular meeting. The underground natural gas liquids pipeline will run about 33 miles through Adams County from east of 168th Avenue and Harvest Road south, east of Denver
International Airport and the south to the county border within unincorporated Adams County. This segment will be a part of a larger pipeline that would run from Greeley to Skellytown, Texas, 420 miles total in length. The project is spearheaded by Enterprise Products L.P., Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and DCP Midstream LLC. During the public hearing, Jeff Waldo, senior manager with Enterprise, highlighted the benefits of the pipeline. He said that the pipeline will provide connection to the Wattenberg Gas Field, located in the Denver-Julesburg Basin in northeast Colorado. This gas field is the 10th largest in the country, was discovered in 1970 and includes more than 20,000 producing wells, he added. “It is forecasted that production will soon exceed the transportation capacity to move
the product to processing facilities,” Waldo said, adding that the pipeline was safer than using railcars and trucks. He added that the project will generate money into the local economy. “Property tax revenue to Adams County will be approximately $845,000 in the first year,” Waldo said. Front Range Pipeline was denied a similar request by the board on July 29 due to concerns that the pipeline would impact future development between Denver International Airport and Front Range Airport and because the application lacked information on the project. Since that time, FRP has provided the county with extensive information on its safety record, emergency response plans and safety measures, environmental impact analysis, financial feasibility of the project and it re-aligned the pipe. “The route alignment has changed to be
located on the east side of Imboden Road within the north/south segment of the project from East 96th Avenue to East 60th Avenue,” said Kristin Sullivan, Adams County case manager. “This change was made to accommodate Adams County concerns about compatibility with the Adams County Comprehensive Plan and the county’s future plans for mixed use employment development in the area between eastern boundary of Denver International Airport and Imboden Road.” Four people spoke in favor of the pipeline during the hearing, including Tim Travis, an Adams County resident. He said he hopes the commissioners supported the project, “Not only for the good of Adams County, but for the state also. It’s a lot of jobs, a lot of taxes.” No one spoke against the project.

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com Since 1911, the Hometown Christmas celebration has brought people together for an evening of lights, caroling and Santa Claus. First celebrated after the city’s incorporation, the community event is a tradition marking the beginning of the holiday season. “In 1923 Doc and Laura Shipman planted a five-and-a-half foot tree to serve as the hometown Christmas tree. Residents continued to decorate the tree until World War II when outside lights were not allowed,” said Elaine Egan with the Westminster Historical Society. “The tradition was set aside until the Westminster Historical Society renewed it in 1987. The tree is now over 65 feet tall.” This year’s celebration will be 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5, at Fireman’s Park, next to Westminster Fire Station No. 1, 3948 W. 73rd Ave. The pinnacle of the evening will be the Christmas tree lighting, which will be done this year by former mayor Nancy McNally. Egan said the first tree lighting honorees in 1987 were members of the Shipman family followed by other longtime Westminster residents like George Hovorka and Sharon and Butch Arnold in later years. The evening will also feature a performance from the Adams County School District 50 choir and a visit from Santa Claus, who will arrive by fire truck. Egan said the grass-roots event is definitely a community effort with the help of Westminster firefighters who help decorate the

School chiefs share concerns at forum Funding, testing, reform among issues discussed By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com School superintendents from around the state converged on Denver Nov. 19 to address a myriad of issues facing Colorado schools — and it was clear from the discussions that there are no easy answers to many problems. Concerns over funding, student and teacher assessment testing and parental involvement were among the many issues tackled by 10 superintendents during “The State of Our Districts” forum inside the Denver Center for Performing Arts. The timing of the forum, which was put on by the Public Education & Business Coalition, was apt. It was two weeks removed from an election where a major, statewide school funding initiative was rejected by voters. Superintendents who supported Amendment 66 — which sought to overhaul public school funding by way of a tax hike — are still stinging from the defeat, as they continue to deal with budget shortfalls. “Opportunities for kids across the state
should not be determined by the property tax in their area,” said Denver Public Schools Superintendent Tom Boasberg. Not everyone was upset over Amendment 66’s failure. Douglas County Schools Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said that full-day kindergarten — one of the key selling points behind the funding measure — would have caused facility issues in Douglas County. “Frankly, for us, it was a significant issue that we would have had to deal with,” she said. Stevenson Much of the discussion centered around reform initiatives, and state and national assessment mandates, and the challenges districts face surrounding their implementations — something to which each of the superintendents could relate. For example, Adams 12 Five Star Schools Superintendent Chris Gdowski said abiding by certain online assessment standards means that the district has to come up with up to $15 million to ensure that its information technology systems can adequately support the testing. “It’s a classic example of wanting wellintended outcomes,” Gdowski said. “But
$10 (million) to $15 million is an enormous investment for a district that’s really struggling right now.” Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson talked about those same challenges and how they can result in “tension” among Jeffco teachers. Stevenson said that the district is trying to juggle multiple assessment mandates on a budget that is below 2009 funding levels. “We ask more and more of our teachers and principals, and we’re giving them fewer resources,” she said. “We tell them, ‘Here’s a reform to implement, and we’re not going to give you any more resources. By the way, you’ll have new training, as well.’” Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Scott Murphy blasted what he calls the “Washington D.C.-ing of Colorado.” Murphy said that many of the national assessment mandates simply aren’t good fits for every state. “(Those mandates) may not apply to a state that’s rich in agriculture, mining and, frankly, independence,” he said. One key national assessment mandate that will be implemented next year will be tied to the Common Core State Standards Initiative, which will require that K-12 students receive instruction under more rigorous standards. Over the summer, the Douglas County school board rejected im-
NEWS IN A HURRY Rotella Park to be renovated
In preparation for the renovation of Rotella Park, York Street and East 78th Avenue, Adams County staff demolished Shelters # 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 during November. Shelter demolition was necessary in order to begin the Rotella Park Renovations Project in early 2014. The project is expected to be completed in August 2014, and will include a re-configured parking
plementation of the Common Core standards, opting instead to institute its own. “Common Core standards are not high enough for what we’re aiming for in Douglas County,” said Fagen. Boasberg said he appreciates the standards that are put in place through Common Core, but said that there’s a reality that districts face. “The standards are wonderful,” he said. “But you don’t just wave a magic wand and say to a kid who is struggling to read something in seventh grade that you should be doing this in fifth grade.” The superintendents were also asked about the challenges associated with getting parents more involved in what’s happening at their schools. Boasberg said that Denver Public Schools reaches out to Spanish-speaking parents through a daily Spanish program, and through a home visit program, where teachers ask parents about their child’s “hopes and dreams and what we can do to help.” Gdowski said that poor parents are highly involved at Adams 12 schools, but acknowledged that there are challenges in fostering greater involvement. “We haven’t quite yet figured out the tools to provide them to support their kids academically,” he said.

November: A time to remember and act Before he served in Congress and before he went to the White House, Lt. John Kennedy was the commander of torpedo boats in the South Pacific during World War II. His distinguished military career resulted in being awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal and the Purple Heart. He was proud of his service and once said, “I can imagine no more rewarding a career.” The president must have given thought to his own years in combat when, on Nov. 5 of 1963, he issued a proclamation for Thanksgiving, a holiday he would not live to see. In the proclamation, he wrote in part of the nation’s gratitude to America’s veterans. “Much time has passed since President Washington led a young people into the experience of nationhood, much time since President Lincoln saw the American nation through the ordeal of fraternal war,” he wrote. “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” Those words ring just as true today
as they did 50 years ago — perhaps even more so. It goes without saying that we should thank veterans for their service, that we should recognize their important contributions to our freedom and honor those who paid the supreme sacrifice. But, as President Kennedy stressed, “the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” The highest appreciation Coloradans can show is to ensure that their homecoming will signal the start of an important next chapter in their lives. For young veterans in particular, that begins with a good job. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, post 9/11 veterans have
an unemployment rate of 10.1 percent, nearly 3 percent higher than the national average, and among this group the unemployment rate for women veterans is even higher. At the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment and at state and countyrun Workforce Centers, we take pride in assisting veterans year round, ensuring they have the preparation and readiness to make a successful transition into the civilian workforce. We are a conduit to employment and training but the real heroes are the employers who give them a chance to show what they can do. These employers know that veterans have the proven ability to learn new skills and concepts, that they have an understanding of how teamwork grows out of a responsibility to one’s colleagues. The best employers recognize that military duties have taught veterans to understand the rigors of tight schedules and limited resources. They know that these new hires can grasp their place within an organizational framework and are committed to doing “an honest day’s work.”
Gov. John Hickenlooper has issued a proclamation declaring November as Hire A Veteran Month. The proclamation underscores what great employers already know: the economic returns to our state in getting these talented men and women into good paying jobs are critical to Colorado’s competitiveness. The investment we make in helping veterans make the leap from the battlefield to the business world will be paying all of us dividends throughout the century. To every business that knows the value of helping veterans succeed, the Department of Labor and Employment says thank you. Our work on behalf of veterans (we are currently serving more than 44,000) draws its strength from you. Your investment in your community and in the veterans who are a part of it, gets to the heart of what President Kennedy spoke of just 23 days before his death. Gratitude must be more than words. It must be lived. This article was contributed by executive director of the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment Ellen Golombek.
news in a hurry Electronics recycling event a huge success
Participation in this year’s electronics recycling event in Westminster tripled compared to last year. In celebration of America Recycles Day, 150 cars brought 13,137 pounds of electronic waste for recycling. This is more than six tons of electronics. This year, the State of Colorado passed a bill prohibiting the disposal of electronic devices in landfills, making the collection event a timely opportunity for recycling. The event helped launch the city’s “Westminster Proud We Recycle!” campaign. Every trash collector licensed in Westminster is required to offer curbside
recycling and the campaign asks residents and businesses to recycle what they can at their curb. Based on recycling reports submitted by trash collectors, it costs on average 10 cents per day to recycle curbside at a single-family home.
Chamber makes efforts to enhance legislative relationships
The Metro North Chamber of Commerce has hired Steve Balcerovich and partner Kathy Oatis to enhance legislative relations and help make members of the Colorado Legislature aware of the chamber’s public policy concerns. Balcerovich
and Oatis will also communicate regularly with organizations and politicians on various other jurisdictions in the north Denver area. The Metro North Chamber represents over 900 businesses in 13 cities, with members from all seven Denver-area counties. Balcerovich and Oatis will meet on a weekly and/or semi-weekly basis with the chamber’s Business & Government Affairs Committee, providing reports about the status of various relevant bills in the legislature. “In recent years, the Metro North Chamber has become increasingly effective in its efforts to advocate at the State

Information is not the public’s enemy This week’s release of a report summarizing the investigation into the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary offers a glimpse into the horror of what happened on Dec. 14, 2012. It, however, is not a complete accounting of what happened. The state police’s full report was not included and it is not known when that will be released. At the same time, media outlets are fighting for the release of 911 tapes — which generally are considered public record. Indeed, nearly a year later, the Newtown, Conn., tragedy is still marked by a measure of secrecy. We’re not going to argue what should and shouldn’t be released in the Sandy Hook investigation. Records in this case, in which a gunman killed 28 people, including 20 children, should be handled delicately. The victims’ families deserve that.
our view What we will point out, though, is that the slow release of information — and the outright withholding of some records — is not limited to high-profile, horrific cases like Sandy Hook. It happens every day in Colorado, most likely throughout the nation. “Ongoing criminal investigation.” That’s the phrase routinely used to deny reporters and the public information about a case. The Colorado Open Records Act allows for this. Law enforcement agencies may deny the release of records when doing so would “be contrary to the public interest.” Generally, the “ongoing criminal investiga-

tion” phrase is invoked. Further explanation will sometimes yield that releasing the information could jeopardize the case against a suspect. Maybe it could put witnesses in danger. What often happens is that the local law enforcement agency gives out some initial nuggets of information — which may or may not include an arrest report or other official documents. After the agency finishes its investigation, the case moves on to the district attorney. Then, for a period of weeks, or months, or sometimes more than a year, no further details are released.

Glad to help, I was fixin’ dinner anyway A few Sundays ago at our church, we viewed a short video which really touched my heart and made me think of the significance of its point. It had to do with thinking of others and giving of yourself. The vignette showed a married couple talking about their neighbor Jim who was dying of cancer. The husband decided to cook dinner for Jim and his wife every Tuesday to give the wife a break from cooking after her long day at work. When asked about going the “extra mile” for his neighbors, he simply said, “I was fixin’ dinner anyway. It’s no big deal to increase the portions of what I cook.” Such simplicity was shown, but what a huge gesture to support and befriend a dying man and his wife. How often do we” increase the portion” to befriend someone or help make a difference in someone’s life?

refusal to release records related to an incident in February. The couple’s car was hit with a bullet, they say, after a police officer fired his gun at a burglary suspect. They say they want more answers about what happened before and during the shooting. Thing is, it’s an ongoing investigation. We won’t argue what should and shouldn’t be released in this case either. We don’t have enough information to do that. Surely there are some cases in which a successful prosecution and people’s safety depend on keeping things under wraps. But “ongoing investigation” has become a stock answer, and as such, we’ll say the spirit of the open records law is being violated on a regular basis in Colorado. All too often what’s contrary to the public interest is being left out in the dark.
In this season of Thanksgiving, many of us have the opportunity to take the initiative and befriend someone. It can be direct or indirect. For example, do like Jim’s neighbor and prepare a meal for the family next door or send money to the Salvation Army, Have a Heart, Growing Home, A Precious Child or the Denver Rescue Mission to provide a Thanksgiving meal to a family who is down and out. Can you give $10 for a gift card for a turkey or $30 to feed a family with all the fixin’s? Think of the difference you are making in befriending someone or a family who is less fortunate. And it gives you a special warm feeling down inside.
More of the same
Some things don’t change. In fact, a lot of things don’t change. Now, the recall of state Sen. Evie Hudak, who has a part of Westminster, has been ramping up again.
She probably thought she had dodged the bullet with the previous petition drives and the subsequent recall elections of Sen. John Morse and Rep. Angela Giron who became casualties in the firearms debate. What is intriguing is the idea mentioned by Democratic Party strategists — if sufficient valid signatures are declared on the recall petitions, the party would ask Hudak to resign BEFORE the recall election is called and the political party appoints a replacement to keep a Democrat in the seat and the majority in the Senate until the Nov. 2014 election. My, my, the things people do in politics.
Voting rights saved
In the City of Northglenn, there are six registered voters who reside in the Weld County portion of the city. When the ballots came out for the Nov. 5th election, these folks were not afforded the opportunity to vote for their candidate for Northglenn Mayor or the Council candidate in their ward. Fortunately, the Weld County Clerk’s Office saved the day and quickly had special ballots printed and mailed to these folks to preserve their voting rights. This “good news” slipped the media. Good job by the county clerk’s office! Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

Giving thanks for even the rough stuff There is a doctrine in my Faith that is embodied in the lyrics of a song: Blessed be Your Name, when the world’s all as it should be, When the sun’s shining down on me, Blessed be Your Name. Blessed be Your Name, On the road marked with suffering, When there’s pain in the offering, Blessed be Your Name. The is idea is that Thankfulness is not something that should be reserved for times and places when life is good, but that Gratitude is a quality that shows even better when times are tough. I tend to think that Gratefulness, therefore, is not an expression of character and an acknowledgment of events, but, rather, a shaper of character and an influencer of events. So this Thanksgiving, I’m choosing to give thanks for some of the things from my past that are, well, not exactly my best moments. This year, I am thankful for the stupid events at a retreat in high school that ended up in me being suspended for five days. Yeah, really. But it’s okay, because, up until that point, I’d been skating through school without a lot of ambition; that embarrassment was the kick in the behind that I needed to get on track, and I do look back on that as one of the seminal moments of my life. I am also thankful for a few of the really dumb things I did in college which, blessedly, did not end up in the hospital or the police station, though they easily could have. Let’s just say there were few times that I “leaped before looking.” Going through those taught me the difference between calculated risks and just being dumb, and that’s a pretty important lesson to learn. I am thankful, also, for the women in my life, and, oddly, for some of the bad, mean, stupid, shameful things I said and did when I was younger. Though thinking back on those still causes me pangs of embarrassment, it’s that little pain that
informs me better ways to deal with the women in my life today. And, sure, I’m still frequently listed in the Annals of Stupid Husbands, but we’ve been married for almost 19 years now, so I think something must be working. And, for the record, ladies, if the statute of limitations hasn’t run out yet, I am sorry. I am thankful for weird turns in my career. Believe me, I am not, right now, where I always pictured I would be. But those weird turns have opened up a lot of other opportunities to me, and have allowed me to explore other interests, one of which you are sharing with me right now. It has to be said that, in each of these instances, I did not escape greater trouble by my own wit or talent. In some cases, better people than me kept things in check; in others, blind luck played a role. But, in most cases, I am here today because somebody else took into account the nature of my screw-ups, and showed me a little Grace and Mercy. Without that, the police station, or worse, was a very real possibility. So, this Thanksgiving, remember to Give Thanks for some of the things in your life that, shall we say, leave you a little rough around the edges and don’t make you very proud. Those rough edges are exactly tools that you need to sculpt you into who you are. Michael Alcorn is a music teacher and fitness instructor who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children.

letter to the editor Let’s be civil
Disagreements are commonplace, and there is certainly a wide gap between what Democrats and Republicans think about gun control. However attempting to recall Sen. Evie Hudak for nothing more than disagreeing with certain groups about gun control is inappropriate and a mockery of the democratic process on which this country was founded. Sen. Hudak won her seat because the majority of the voters agreed with her position on gun control and other issues. Those who disagree with her certainly have the right to write to her and explain their positions and to not vote for her in the next election. But a senator not doing what you want is not cause for a recall. If anything, the idea that we should start recalling anyone who says something certain groups don’t like is turning government into anarchy. I was outraged by the fear mongering and misrepresentation of the issues that I experienced by a woman outside the Standley Lake Library in Jefferson County the other day. She was trying to gather signatures for a petition to recall Sen. Hudak, and while that is her right in this democracy we live in, she was abusive and harassing people. As people walked
toward the library she would say, “Do you want to sign a petition to protect our Second Amendment rights?” like as if Senator Hudak was trying to repeal them, thereby totally misrepresenting the issue to the voters. If someone disagreed, she immediately became verbally assaultive. I support Sen. Hudak, and I support strict gun control and strict enforcement. If anything, in countries that have those things crime rates have plummeted. But this is about far more than gun control. It’s about control of the legislature, and it’s about how we practice democracy. The GOP is just using gun control as a way to manipulate voters who are opposed to it to recall the senator so they can gain control of the legislature, something they couldn’t do in a fair election because the majority voted against them. If they get control, they won’t just be fighting gun control. They’ll use their power to bring more fracking and other environmental dangers to the state and fight funding of crucial programs our elderly, our children and the poor are dependent upon. But most importantly, they will turn democracy into a farce. Robin Ferruggia Lyons

Jo Schantz of Golden was selected as the new executive director of Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance or COCA. Her position will be active as of Sunday, Dec. 1.

Santa Claus at museum
Santa and Mrs. Claus will be stopping by the Colorado Railroad Museum to collect letters and hear gift wishes from Colorado’s kids on Saturday, Dec. 7; Sunday, Dec. 14 and 15, and Saturday, Dec. 21, at 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Those who drop off a letter to Santa in the railway post office car will receive a special keepsake. The event costs $5 for children, with free admission to children under 2 years old. Tickets for adults are $15, and seniors over 60 are $10. Admission is free for museum members. Families with two adults and up to five children can purchase tickets for $30.
It’s that time again By the time you read this, Thanksgiving Day will be about over. And now it’s time to talk cookies and candy and decorating inside and out. I have to admit that my holiday decorating is falling prey to lack of energy due to a life span of 81 years. There will still be red spotlights and the manger scene. Indoor red candelabras will be placed in each window. Last year we decided to not put up the Christmas tree or the village under the tree or a bow on anything that doesn’t move. Again this year we’re not going “all out,” instead putting up a huge wreath where the tree would normally go flanked by a life-sized Santa and a small lighted five foot tree donated by granddaughter Jessica.
Don’t trash the fruit cake Let’s face it! I love, absolutely love, fruit cake. And it makes me sad to hear all the jokes about this lovely dessert. I’m already eating the delicious one I got at Costco a few weeks ago. This fruitcake is to die for. It’s chock full of nuts, candied fruit and other goodies in it. The cost is $16.99 and
worth every cent of it. I try to limit my intake to one generous slice every day. I’m sure I’ll eat two of the festive cakes by the end of the year.
The busy time

Festival Playhouse production taps into Christmas spirit By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com Everyone has certain images when they think of Christmas, from baking cookies and decorating the tree to opening presents and visiting family. The warmth and comfort of these images is what the Festival Playhouse looks for in its Christmas plays, and have tapped directly into it with Pat Cook’s “Somethin’ Special for Christmas.” “I looked back and since 1995 WHAT: “Somethin’ we’ve done 20 productions of Special for Christmas” Pat Cook works. Most everybody WHERE: Festival likes him, and the reason they Playhouse do is that it’s a show that you’re 5665 Olde Wadsworth going to watch and feel good,” Blvd., Arvada Charley Ault, the show’s director WHEN: Nov. 29 - Dec. 15 and actor said. “Everyone can Friday and Saturday just sit back and enjoy it.” 7:30 p.m. Set on a ranch in west Texas Sunday - 2 p.m. during the 1950s, the story foCOST: $15-$17 cuses in on three ranch hands: INFORMATION: Smitty (Miles Silverman) the 303-422-4090 or www. foreman, Bubba (Charley) and festivalplayhouse.com Eddie (Jim Hoover). The three men live a simple life on the ranch, and are devoted to its widowed owner Sara Prientess (Donna Sweet Ault) and her daughter Jordan (Abcedee Theodoratos), though times are hard for all involved. When Jason Benedict (Sean Thompson) tries to buy the ranch, Sara decides to give her daughter one last special Christmas with the ranch hands. However, when they get drafted into playing the three wise men in Opal Robinson’s (Karen Johnston) school play and they try to bring Santa to life for Jordan, things go hilariously awry for everyone. “Everything turns out all right in the end, which is what you want in a Christmas show,” Charley said. “It’s fun, whimsical stuff, that really captures the life of Christmas.” This is the first show for Theodoratos, who is 9 years old, and has been taking acting classes at the Playhouse. “I think she’s (Jordan) kind of sassy, and confident with herself. I like her attitude,” Theodoratos said. “I’ve done some school plays, but this is my first play. I just like acting.”

Top, Jordan (Abcedee Theodoratos) and Sara Prientess (Donna Sweet Ault) talk about the future of their ranch in “Somethin’ Special for Christmas.” Photos by Clarke Reader Silverman, Charley and Hoover, all describe the their ranch hand characters as not the brightest of men, but make up for it with the size of their hearts. “Smitty is like a favorite uncle to Jordan, and he really looks after her,” Silverman said. “He’s a real ‘salt of the earth’ type guy, but is really a romantic at heart.” Charley said that Bubba has a heart of gold, but not a lot going on upstairs, while Eddie is the type of person that people meet and immediately say “bless his heart” according to Hooper. Donna said that while Sara is constantly taking care of who she calls the “three idiots” there is a real soft spot for them in her heart. “They’ve been with her through the thinest of the thin, and she is grateful” Donna said. All involved with in the play agree that the show is perfect for families looking for something heartwarming this holiday season. “It’s a simple story, but I think it’s very moving, especially since it’d told through the eyes of a little girl,” Silverman said. “There’s a great message of hope throughout,” Hoover said.

Free show features magic and comedy By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ourcoloradonews.com Longtime comedian and magician Ann Lincoln is coming to the Westminster Libraries in two performances of the Wonderful Winter Magic Show. The show will feature juggling, magic and of course comedy, with a special appearance from Snow Bunny, a real-live rabbit. The first magic show is set for Dec. 7 at College Hill Library and the second will be Dec. 21 at Irving Street Library. Both free shows will be 2 to 2:45 p.m. “Ann Lincoln’s been performing for us at the libraries for many years,” Vicky Sisto, library youth services coordinator said. “Her shows are always full of energy and invite audience participation. They are a lot of fun for all ages.” Lincoln, from Denver, began comedy and entertainment in 1982 when she taught herself how to juggle lemons and limes. Since then she’s dabbled in other careers, but always found herself inching back to performance art, whether it’s

Arvada adds eatery The folks at Udi’s Foods were slated to open Braun’s Taphaus & Grille in the old space of the Archive Room in Olde Town Arvada on Friday, Nov. 22. Eater Denver reported Braun’s will serve “traditional German cuisine and American comfort food with 20 rotating beers on tap.” Located at 5601 Olde Wadsworth Blvd., Braun’s is in the heart of a burgeoning area in Arvada that will only grow when the RTD FasTracks Gold Line opens in 2016. The Archive Room opened in 2009 and recently former Dixon’s chef Aaron Youngblood revived the menu for bar fare to more of a seasonal offering, but the place closed last summer.

through magic or comedy. Her love for performing is so strong, she admits even if she won the lottery, she would still have to find occasions where she could make people, especially children, laugh. “Performing is an essential part of my makeup,” Lincoln said. “My main goal is to get people to laugh and when I can get a whole family laughing together that really feeds my energy. I love it.” Although the library shows are geared towards younger children, Lincoln said they are appropriate for all ages. She works to keep the entire audience engaged by keying into the adults with jokes that can easily go over the heads of little ones and also by bringing up volunteers to help out. “The Wonderful Winter Magic show really is for the whole family, not just for the kids,” she said. “I have stuff for the big kids and adults to enjoy. I just try to have a show that is unique as possible, with things never seen before.” For more information, call the College Hill Library children’s desk at 202-6582606.

The Adams County School District 50 school board welcomed two new board members during a special meeting and ceremony on Nov 21. Taking their seats for the first time, Joseph Davidek and Ryan McCoy experienced their first board meeting, just one of many more to come over the next four years. Both longtime district residents and graduates of Westminster High School, Davidek and McCoy are rounding out a board made up entirely of WHS grads. Davidek, who is also the public announcer for Westminster High School sporting events and a trademark paralegal, has two sons who grew up in the district. He’s thought about doing some sort of service to the community for a while and decided this year was the best time. Davidek said while on the board he’s hoping to bring a communityfeel back to the district. “When I was in school there was a high sense of pride within in the district. Our schools weren’t taking a backseat to any other district,” he said. “I’m hoping to return to the glory days that the district had a few decades ago and bring back a sense of community to the school.” Davidek does not consider himself a politician, and admits although he’s excited about his new endeavor, he has a bit of apprehension being thrust into completely new world. He says although he’s got a lot to learn, he’s prepared to listen and face issues without bias and prejudice. “I’m going to be brutally honest on the board and that may not sit well with people, but that’s how I’m going to be,” he said. “I’ve lived in the district pretty much my whole life and care a lot about the district.” McCoy’s decision to run for a board director came with the urging of fellow district residents who wanted him to take an active part in the district.

Ryan McCoy is sworn in to the Adams County School District 50 board by District Judge John Stipech during a special meeting on Nov. 21. Photo by Ashley Reimers nication Faculty at Front Range Community College, McCoy has spent many years in education and always knew he would someday run for a school board. “I’ve always been involved in politics and education, so as an educator I can wear that political hat,” McCoy said. “Not everyone likes to be involved in anything political, but I enjoy it, and I could be that champion for the district.” Going into his director position, McCoy said his first goal is to listen and gain a perspective of the whole picture. He said it’s important to have conversations with the community, staff, faculty and administration and be engaged in order to develop a vision for the district. He plans on being approachable and available to anyone in the district willing to have a conversation.

Strong work ethic will push pinnacle to top Timberwolves ready to go undefeated in league again By Kate Ferraro
kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com When the Pinnacle boys’ basketball team went undefeated in league last year winning the 3A Frontier League, it The Timberwolves went 1-1 in the Frontier League District Finals, and then dropped to Colorado Academy the next week at State. “That bothers us that we went undefeated in league then lost, that bothers us a lot,” Pinnacle shooting guard Chase Gonzales said. “We definitely have to win league and districts this year.” But this year will be different. With Gonzales leading the pack as a senior, head coach Lou Vullo said this is probably one
of the better teams he’s coached since he began at Pinnacle five years ago. Vullo said the squad has a really strong work ethic and they like working hard. He said the team has shown much dedication in the offseason and has changed their views on playing defense from a few years ago. “We preach defense a lot,” Vullo said. “When I first got here, none of them played defense. Now, this whole team buys in on playing defense. I think that’s going to take us far.” Gonzales agrees with Vullo. “We’re a real hard working team,” Gonzales said, who’s been on varsity since his freshman year. “I think that can take us a long way, because no matter what talent you have, if you don’t work hard, you don’t mean anything.” Along with Gonzales, the Timberwolves are returning a number of starters from last year to the court including three point
guards in seniors Sansom Ouk and Sam Allen and junior Alexander Blank. Senior center Jayden Reyes is also coming back. In the forward position, Pinnacle will see senior David Pinela and juniors Eliseo Carrizales and Josh Brown, as well. Pinela has been on the varsity team since he was a sophomore. “He works hard,” Vullo said of Pinela. “He’s one of those kids who’s kind of quiet, but a good kid on and off the court.” The Timberwolves are also trying to stay healthy and eligible gradewise in order to accomplish their goal of winning a league title for the second consecutive year, and to achieve their ultimate aspiration of winning districts. “We’re looking pretty good this year,” Pinela said. “We have a big goal for us to win district championships. I think we have the right tools and the right teammates to do that.”

Experienced coach to help Horizon Hawks have variety in every position By Kate Ferraro

The Horizon girls’ basketball team is making a few changes this year for the 2013-2014 season. The Hawks lack in size and depth, but will make up for their weaknesses with a new defensive system created by new and experienced head coach Ti Streff. Streff is the former defensive coach from Southern Connecticut State University. The Colorado native returned to the Centennial state after realizing coaching college basketball wasn’t for her. Streff came back to get a teaching license and coach high school basketball and ended up at Horizon. “It’s always good to have someone who’s already been at the college level come down and help us,” junior center and forward Alyssa Rader said. Streff scratched their old defensive system and started something new for the team. Streff said they have been willing to learn the new ways and trust it, since it has worked so well at the college level. “I think the defense is looking pretty good,” senior guard and small forward Ashley Rasmussen said. “It’s new to us, but we’re all learning pretty quickly and being able to pick it up.” The Hawks biggest strength this season will be the fact that they have a lot of variety on the court. Even though they aren’t deep, they aren’t lacking either. They still have a skilled player at every position. Rasmussen is one of those players as she is the only senior on the team this year. Streff said Rasmussen is going to be a really strong leader on the floor. “She’s probably not the best scorer, but she does everything else right,” Streff said of Rasmussen. “She’s always going to get the clean-up points. She’s that kind of player, which is absolutely necessary for
any team. Rader is another player expected to play well this year. After playing two years with her older sister, Kaylie, who went to Wyoming this year, the 2013-2014 season will be the first one for her to really be in the spotlight by herself. Shooting guard Lauren Bennett is also returning to the squad, as well as guard Kayla Chand and point guard Linsi Calvo. Rasmussen said she wants to lead the team as a senior by pushing her teammates and making everybody work hard. “We all have the same goal and we all want to get there, but we need to work together to do that,” Rasmussen said. “Pushing each other and being able to communicate well with each other. That’s how it’s going to happen no matter who it is.”

“I hope I won’t have to make that decision.” Mike McAlpine, who is organizing the recall effort, did not respond to multiple requests for comment on this story. Learning from recent recall efforts Hudak and her campaign manager Chris Kennedy say they learned from what happened in Colorado Springs and Pueblo. “I don’t think we knew how serious it was and how capable these guys were,” Kennedy said. He said because of that, the Hudak campaign has sent volunteers door-to-door, as well as positioning volunteers in areas where

petition gatherers are attempting to collect signatures. The actions of volunteers on both sides of the recall attempt have been the story within the recall story, as efforts on the part of some groups have stirred controversy. The Democracy Defense Fund, A pro-Hudak group — one that the senator says she is not affiliated with — has directed robocalls that warn District 19 voters that some of the recall petition gatherers have criminal backgrounds. “We’re trying to get the message out, why it would benefit people in the community not to sign the petition,” Cheryl Cheney, a Democracy Defense Fund volunteer said. On the other side, the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners has said it will be giving away an AR-15 rifle, as part of an effort to boost petition volunteer efforts. Cheny called that effort “dis-
gusting” because it is was the weapon of choice in the Aurora Theater and Sandy Hook elementary school mass shootings. “We’re doing whatever we can to get the signatures for recall,” Danielle Thompson, a spokesperson for RMGO said. “It’s not a sensitive issue because the AR-15 is the most popular rifle. That’s what’s going to turn people out.” All of this will go on for a few more days. In the meantime, Hudak said she appreciates the support she’s been receiving through all of this. “I am just very honored that so many people come to me and tell me that they support me and feel bad that I have to go through this,” she said. “They feel like this is happening to them too, because they were my supporters and they kind of put themselves in my shoes.”
half-pound burgers, zesty salads and sandwiches. “I wanted a mix of both American and Mexican food,” Hondrogiannis said. “For breakfast I just put everything I love about breakfast into the menu.” Since opening in early September, Hondrogiannis said he’s had a good steady stream of customers. The ultimate goal would be to open multiple locations in the future, but for now
Hondrogiannis is more than satisfied with the foot traffic so far. “Thank God we have customers in here every day telling us how beautiful the place is and how good the food is, that is all the reward right there,” he said.
