Council candidates meet in forum Construction defect ordinance among matters discussed By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com The implementation of a construction defect ordinance rose to the top of focus for community members and the eight city council candidates at the Sept. 18 Arvada Chamber of Commerce City Council Candidate Forum. “I loved that all the candidates said yes to construction defects,” said resident Dot Miller, CEO of Professional Independent Insurance Agents of Colorado and former Arvada Chamber president. “They (the city) need to get involved and create an ordinance.” The event, held at the Lamar Street Events Center, 5888 Lamar St., was an informational forum where citizens could hear from Arvada City Council candidates on issues. In his opening remarks, Arvada Chamber chairman John Bodnar noted the event has been held for more than 30 years and is a city tradition. Along with the discussion around constructions defects, candidates spoke about their priorities, the needs of their districts and the city at large, and where they see the city going in the future. Each candidate presented opening and closing statements and replies to short-answer and rapid-fire questions about such topics as urban renewal, transportation, recreation and affordable housing. “I love how they all wanted to help the community out and I liked how they explained what they wanted to do,” said
District 4 candidates David Jones, right, and incumbent Bob Dyer, center, discuss their approaches to providing access to services and increasing small business in West Arvada. Jim Siedlecki, left, served as the forum moderator. Photo by Crystal Anderson Elizabeth Garwood, a seventh-grade Early College of Arvada student. “They were prepared and very educated about what they wanted to do.” As the only open forum scheduled for this year’s city council elections, several candidates and the moderator said the event was unbiased and expressed disappointment that not all those running attended. “I do think these forums are very valid, and I am very disappointed, starting with the elephant in the room, that my opponent is not here today,” said Mayor Marc Williams in his opening remarks. “It’s insulting to your intelligence to think that you can’t look at the
candidates, hear what they have to say and make your own decision.” Mayoral candidate Dave Chandler, District 2 candidate Dave Palm and councilman-at-large candidate Carl Campanella did not attend, citing bias and a lack of transparency. “It’s a pity the other candidates didn’t come, especially Mr. Chandler,” said John Kiljan, a resident of the Ralston Creek neighborhood. “He could’ve come and stood up and defended his position — this is the only open forum for them to do that.”

Imagine covering the football field at Mile High Stadium with 10 to 12 feet of debris. That’s how successful Jefferson County’s 2015 Slash Collection Program has been. “And we’re not even done collecting this year,” said Bret Roller of Rolling R Ranch Co., which oversees the program for the county. The major reason to To learn more about the clear slash slash program, or find out — tree which dates it will be at debris such each location, visit www. as limbs, jeffco.us/slash. bark and pine needles Additional questions can — from be directed to Mark Danner, Jefferson County’s properties facilities and construction is to reduce management director, fire danger at 303-271-5008 or Bret around Roller of Rolling R Ranch homes, Co. at 303-589-4698. Roller said. “Every little bit helps to mitigate fire losses,” said Mark Danner, Jefferson County’s facilities and construction management director. The slash program, which began the last week in May, will wrap up Oct. 24-25. Unlike years past when only three collection dates were offered, Jefferson County residents have been able to drop off slash almost every weekend since it started in locations that moved throughout the county. Public response has been great, Roller said. “People are so thankful and excited. The big thing is that it’s so close to people’s homes. It allows them to get more done.” Residents also like the flexibility on when they can get the work done, Danner said, because they know a collection site will be nearby on any given weekend. Additionally, he said, people can drop off slash quickly and efficiently because more frequent collection sites eliminates long lines. Removing this type of flammable material gives firefighters a better chance of saving a home in case of fire, Roller said. Pine needles and bark must be bagged, as loose loads will not be accepted. Tree limbs should be less than 8 feet in length and 6 inches in diameter. Items not accepted are commercial refuse, construction materials, household trash, tree stumps, metal, rocks and grass clippings. The slash is chipped on site, then hauled to compost yards for further re-use. “None of it is going to the landfills,” Danner said. This year hasn’t seen much fire threat, Roller said, but that can always change quickly. So the 2015 program was designed to be the most efficient for residents being proactive, he said. “The public deserves a huge amount of credit,” Roller said. “They’re out there working hard.”

HELLO
A glimpse of the people in our community
... My Name Is
DIANN LOGAN Arvada resident Diann Logan teaches public speaking and is author of “The Navel Diaries.” Photo by Crystal Anderson
Author, quilter, inspirationalist About me While the mountains don’t speak to me, the words, fabrics and music I create do. Raised in Kansas, the picture-perfect view to me is a dirt country road with wheat fields lining either side with an unforeseeable end. That view, among others, is panoramic and something I find inspiration in. Throughout my life I’ve delved into these passions, starting with music. For 17 years I was a vocalist and keyboard player with several bar and local bands. I loved it, and while I did that and various side jobs, I quilted. I met my first husband through music. He was a drummer and we had a daughter. Although that relationship didn’t work out, I continued with my music and quilting, a hobby that swiftly turned into a profitable career as my daughter entered into college.
extremely rewarding. Each semester I watch as 125 students come into my class, nervous, worried about speaking in front of their peers, turn into professional eloquent speakers. For me, it’s like when you get to see progress from that many people, over and over again, well, it’s like going to the playground. A changing purpose Outside of my teaching, I spend time promoting my book, “The Navel Diaries.” As I’ve grown older, I began thinking about the beauty culture implications of getting older. I began noticing how different things became more irritating. It’s not just all about appearance, but it’s about feeling that my purpose is different now than it was 30 or 40 years ago — and it should be. Time’s passing and so it’s time to get busy. I have a topic here that is relevant, and if there are other people who are thinking they’re the only ones feeling these feelings then it would be a good thing to know they’re not the only ones. So let me write it down and put it out there, in a humorous tone, so it may be useful for other people. And now, I’ve finished the sequel.
Art of quilting I am a hand-quilter, that’s my style. For many years I taught quilting globally and in the U.S. I was a professional designer and quilter. To me, this is art and with art you’re not supposed to just sit there, it’s supposed to be seen by other people. All my quilts are about something, something that inspires me. Whether it’s a moving depiction of the nonverbal communication between African grandmothers or a sentimental image of a country music star, they are relatable and have a deeper meaning.
Can’t sit still I now live, and have lived, in a modern home in Arvada since moving from a small West Wash Park bungalow in 2000. In my future plans I want to continue teaching, spend time with my husband, Ken, weed our garden and go see “Saturday Night Fever” — I love the BeeGees. I guess I’m like one of those hummingbirds that can never sit still — and I love it.
Passion for words Following my quilting career, I decided to go back to school to pursue a passion for words. While I started my higher education career pursuing a degree in music at the University of Denver, I ended up gaining both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in communication at the University of Colorado-Denver, where I now teach. Four days a week, I teach public speaking. It’s

Local poetry garden enriches community Standley Lake resident highlights poetry, quotes and art By Crystal Anderson Canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Words of wisdom, a slice of life and artwork are things Standley Lake resident Greg Forster values. So, earlier this spring, he decided to share them with others. “I wanted to do something really different, something that everyone can enjoy,” he said of his poetry garden. “I had seen poetry stands, but I decided to take it a step further.” Forster took a look at his side yard at 8404 Parfet Court and decided he needed to enhance the area. With more than 20 different flowering plants and three kinds of grasses, the now-blooming xeriscape garden is
known as the Neighborhood Poetry Garden and plays host to three distinctive and creative areas. Poetry. Quotes. Art. “Poetry seems to be a fading art,” Forster said. “It’s unique and it’s interesting. People are just so busy they don’t have time to create these things.” The three sections, placed evenly throughout the garden, offer residents a little space to enjoy works from their neighbors, friends and family members. Every week, residents such as Anna Carta Robbins, submit different works in hopes they’ll be displayed in his garden. For Robbins, this garden is more than just a pleasantry — it’s an honor. “My mom wrote poetry and I wanted to share her poetry with

others of the same like-mind,” Robbins said. “It’s very heartwarming to see him share my mother’s work with others.” A year-round garden, Forster said he wants the space to be a haven. Along with the sections, he has created a shaded seating area with pillows and tables for writing, drawing, bird watching or playing a game of checkers. Once a week, he changes the displays. To date, he’s received more than 50 pieces from the community, and
he’s open for more. Anyone in the city may submit work. Displayed pieces must be family-friendly, and topics range from a little girl’s drawing of a princess and her `Misteree man’ to a poem about Arvada’s Standley Lake. “It’s like having a poetry reading without having to attend the big reading,” Robbins said. “It’s a joy to see someone who cares so much to share that with the community —I know it’s not easy.” As the seasons change, Forster said he will plant autumn-specific botanicals and change the theme. But his mission, he said, will never change. “Now it’s a place to stop for a moment to appreciate a poem, look at the kids’ artwork or sit and think twice about a quote.”

Questions to Ask When Interviewing a Realtor About Listing Your Home
Regular readers of this column hopefully I have seen it published that the average commission nowadays is roughly 5.4%. see the value of hiring a professional real 2) Will you reduce your commission if estate agent — specifically a Realtor® — to you don’t have to share it represent them in the sale of their REAL ESTATE with a buyer’s agent? Most home instead of trying to go it TODAY agents will answer “yes” to this alone. But how do you find the question but they wait for you to best Realtor to list your home? ask it. My practice is to offer a You’ll want to do your own online commission reduction of oneresearch (see box below), but then half to one percent when I don’t you’ll want to interview your candihave to share my commission date(s) in person. Here are some with another agent. I think questions I suggest asking. 1) What commission do you that’s only fair. 3) Will you further reduce charge? Too many sellers still believe there’s a “standard” listing By JIM SMITH, your commission if I hire you to represent me in the purcommission of 6% or more. That Realtor® chase of a replacement went out decades ago because of home? I think that’s only fair, too. If I’m anti-trust enforcement. There is no such thing as a “standard” or “customary” listing going to earn a sizable commission on your next purchase, I’m happy to reduce my comcommission. If any agent says there is, he or she is committing a federal crime. It’s not mission on the sale of your current home, or rebate a portion of that commission if you even legal for agents to discuss with each other what they charge. I can only speak for hire me within the next couple years and I myself. All commissions are negotiable, and earn a nice commission representing you.
Research You Can Do Online Before an Interview:
Is the agent a Realtor— a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR)? Not all agents are Realtors. It’s our trade association with a Code of Ethics that non-Realtors don’t swear to, but it also lobbies at the state and federal level for you to protect property rights and preserve the home mortgage interest deduction. But another reason it’s important is that you want an agent who can afford to pay the $500/ year dues. It’s an indicator of whether he’ll spend money promoting your listing! Go to www.realtor.com and click on “Find Realtors.” If he’s there, click on his profile. Is he a member of the Denver MLS and how successful is he? A new feature of our MLS is that consumers, not just MLS members, can find members at www.
REcolorado.com and see how many active, under contract and sold listings he or she has. If he’s not a member of the Denver MLS, your metro area home’s exposure to potential buyers is severely reduced. Click on “Find Agent/Office” and type in the name of any agent. (Remember that the first name might be a nickname.) If you find the agent, click on “view my listings.” Click the address of any listing and you’ll also be able to evaluate the quality of the photos, video (if any), description and extent of details provided. Keep in mind that the best predictor of how well an agent will market your listing is how well they have marketed previous listings. Google the agent’s name + “Realtor.” You’ll find links with bios and reviews. Also look for him/her on www.RatedAgent.com.
4) Will you pay a referral fee? This question can arise if you have a friend or relative who expects to get your listing, but you know he or she is not the best listing agent for you. A reasonable agent will agree to pay another agent a 25% referral fee, and that could help you to handle the “friend or relative” dilemma. 5) How will you market my listing? You have probably guessed that I’m big on marketing. Normally, I don’t recommend print advertising, although I like to feature Golden Real Estate’s listings in this weekly space. Since 92% of buyers — a percentage that rises each year — begin their home search online, I suggest you look for an agent who has a big online presence. This will include an effective website, but also much more. 6) Do you pay extra to realtor.com, Trulia and Zillow to feature your listings? More importantly, does the agent take the time to enhance his listings on those important websites, or does he just let the site print what they get form the MLS and other sources? REcolorado no longer uploads its listings to Trulia and Zillow, so agents must have their listings on other websites in order for them to appear on these two websites. 7) Do you post — and boost — your listings on Facebook? Facebook is a great advertising medium that I have learned to utilize effectively. For nominal fees, an agent can publish a Facebook post about your house and then pay to have it appear in the news feeds of other Facebook users matching specified demographic and other criteria. For example, I was able to
have my posting of a high-end Colorado home appear in the newsfeeds of people living in Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Aspen and Vail with certain demographic characteristics — and pay $25 or less to do so. (Agents should also encourage sellers to post their home listing on Facebook and urge their friends to “Like” it so it spreads organically or even virally.) 8) Do you shoot your own pictures or do you hire a professional photographer? It’s not necessary to hire a professional if you have professional equipment and use it professionally. The “gold standard” in real estate photography is what’s known as “High Dynamic Range” or HDR technology. Golden Real Estate obtained HDR software and creates HDR photographs for all our agents’ listings that rival any professional photographers’ pictures. When you look at agent listings on www.REcolorado.com, see if you can tell the HDR photos from regular photos. The difference is most evident in the evenness of the lighting, especially through windows. Look for HD listing videos, too! 9) What showing service do you use? If the agent doesn’t use Centralized Showing Service for his listings, find another agent. That’s how important I think it is to use CSS. They are open 8am to 8pm seven days a week, and showings can be set 24/7 on their excellent website. Also, they have an excellent system for requesting and sending you feedback from each showing. Find additional questions on my blog at www.JimSmithBlog.com. Asking the right questions will help you find the right agent.

Coffee’s up! By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com While construction continues on in Arvada’s bustling downtown center, and residents hurry off to their jobs, a calmer sanctuary exists to caffeinate the start of the day. Walking into Global Goods and Coffee Shop, I found the 3-year old coffee house different than I left it. With glossy black wood tables and chairs sitting atop the building’s original hardwood floors, a fresh coat of a light gray-blue paint on the walls, a removed bar top and added retail space, the house at first, felt different. “I’m taking it all in — it must have been weeks since I’ve been in — because it wasn’t this different the last time I was here,” I said to my barista, who laughed and said, “Yeah, we took out the bar and added some chairs.” “One soy Cambric with vanilla,” he added as he handed me my drink. It’s 9 a.m. on Thursday, a time where most people have already begun their day and for others, like myself, it’s just beginning. One by one customers trickle in: Students, residents, business partners, old friends. “Go ahead, get whatever you want” said a customer to his friends as he walked into the shop that sits between an office building and a clothing boutique at 5613 Olde Wadsworth Blvd. As the manager takes their orders, the sound of a coffee grinder begins to spin round while customers wait for coveted drinks. Pumpkin lattes, pour-over coffees, Americanos, Cambric — whatever it takes to get that morning jolt of caffeine — it was ordered. “Two small coffees!” the barista, a volunteer, said as he placed the coffees on the bar ready for pickup. Save for the sound of the light vocal jazz playing overhead, the area was quiet. Customers sat, eating muffins, reading the most recent sports scores in the morning paper, and relaxing. From checking off

JEFFCO SCHOOL BOARD RACE
Julie Williams Jeffco parent, incumbent board member fights to keep her seat in recall election By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com This is an ongoing, weekly series of profiles about candidates running for Jefferson County Board of Education. To read previous articles about candidates go to coloradocommunitymedia.com. Why she is in the news: One of three Jefferson County Board of Education members in a recall election, Julie Williams said she’s fighting for this seat because she wants to serve Jeffco’s students. “It’s not a one-size-fits-all curriculum,” she said. “I want to make sure their needs are being met.” A Colorado native, Williams grew up in Jeffco. She has two children in Jeffco schools and was elected to her position in 2013. She and board members John Newkirk and Ken Witt are currently facing a recall election in November. All three members have stated their intent to run in an attempt to hold their positions. About her: Williams is part of the conservative majority, and she, Newkirk and Witt said they stand by their record. Over the past two years, they have implemented a pay-for-performance model, equalized funding for charter and neighborhood students, began streaming all board meetings, and allocated $18 million to build a school in northwest Arvada. “I want to continue doing the work we’ve done,” she said. “I want to continue being transparent and fiscally responsible — as we have been.” Brings to the table: Before being elected in 2013, Williams was a part of the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC). She also volunteered with the Autism Society and was part of several autism research studies. “There are a lot of different venues
Brad Rupert
for people to be involved in to help families,” she said. “It’s important for the community to understand I really want what’s best for all of our kids — I really have worked hard.” Williams said she would like to continue the work she has been doing on the board. Specifically, she said she would like to expand choice offerings, see the Special Education Advisory Committee reinstated, and reduce the growth gaps of Jeffco students. “I want to have more opportunities for our kids who maybe don’t want to go to college so they have a plan,” she said. “I want to see all of these choices expanded.” She also said she’d like to let the commuWilliams nity know she was right about the Advanced Placement U.S. History curriculum controversy last fall. “I believe the public doesn’t understand what happened with AP U.S. history; there was a lot of unfair media reports,” she said. “I just wanted it to be balanced and the College Board heard that call … Now they’ve put back George Washington, World War I and World War II … I was right on the issue and the College Board heard that.” Hobbies and other interests: Outside of running in this election, Williams said she enjoys spending time with her family. She, her husband and their two sons play music together, watch movies and continually foster an environment around the activities they love. In her own words: “There are so many pieces of misinformation out there, and I think that’s unfortunate … It’s not right. In the end, I think we should be focused on our kids — they are our country’s future.” “I’m willing to stand strong for what is right for our students. I’ve stood through really malicious attacks that really mischaracterized my character and I’ve stood strong for what’s best for kids.”
Attorney, Jeffco parent and grandparent announces campaign for school board By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com This is an ongoing, weekly series of profiles about candidates running for the Jefferson County Board of Education. To read previous articles about candidates go to coloradocommunitymedia.com. Why he is in the news: An invitation sparked a passion in Arvada resident and attorney Brad Rupert, prompting him to run for the Jefferson County Board of Education. “This is really important for the schools, this is really important for the kids,” he said. “And whether you’re generally in favor of recalls or you’re right, left, center doesn’t matter, this is really about educating the kids.” Heavily concerned about the exodus of Jeffco teachers, Rupert said this is his big issue and that the district cannot be expected to be an excellent organization without retaining high-quality teachers. Rupert is one of five successor candidates running in the recall election of the current Jeffco board majority, Ken Witt, Julie Williams and John Newkirk. Specifically, Rupert is running for District 1, in competition with Williams. About him: Rupert, a lawyer with a business background, is heavily engaged with the City of Arvada. Over the past 24 years he’s been involved as both a board member and the president of the Arvada Chamber of Commerce, the Arvada Community Food Bank and the Arvada Jefferson Kiwanis Club, and he is an active volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. Brings to the table: Along with his years of volunteer service, Rupert said he brings years of proven leadership,
parenting experience and an analytical approach to the board. If elected, Rupert said he would first dispense with the board attorney, Brad A. Miller, and take a deep look at the current teacher contract. “Do you think you’re going to get excellent performance from your best people if they are thinking in the back of their minds emotionally, `I wonder if I’m going to have a job in three months?’ or `I wonder if I’m going to get a raise so that I can try and catch up to where I was before the recession?,’” he said. “… I think we want them thinking of excellent education for the kids.” Hobbies and other Rupert interests: Outside of running in this election, Rupert loves to spend time with his wife, sail, garden, make pottery, volunteer and be engaged in his community. He has two grown children who are currently in college and grandchildren in Jeffco schools. In his own words: “One of the soft goals of a board member is to be a cheerleader, a cheerleader for the successes, an encourager out there for the schools, out there encouraging teachers to do the best work … just appreciating people goes a long way.” “Kids aren’t all stamped out, they’re not all the same. They have their own little developmental schedules they’re on, they have their talents, they have their shortcomings. We need to take the kids as they come to us and provide what they need ... that’s what the best teachers do, and at the end of a year, they’ve brought those kids together as a little community by paying attention to the members of that community, and at the end of the best years, they’re all pulling in the right direction and achieved a lot. “
Ron Mitchell Retired Jeffco teacher, principal and active volunteer seeks position on school board By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com This is an ongoing, weekly series of profiles about candidates running for Jefferson County Board of Education. To read previous articles about candidates go to coloradocommunitymedia.com. Why he is in the news: Lifelong Jeffco resident and retired Jeffco teacher and principal Ron Mitchell is now jumping back into the education realm, running for the Jeffco Board of Education. “I’m very concerned about what’s happened to our schools in the past two
years — very concerned,” he said. “I am running to take back local control of Jefferson County Public Schools.” Mitchell, who said he’s concerned by low morale and the political agendas being implemented within the district, said he was convinced by several friends and community members to run for the board. He is one of five successor candidates running in the recall election of the current Jeffco board Mitchell majority of Ken Witt, Julie Williams and John Newkirk. Specifically, he’s running for District 5, in competition with Witt and Paula Noonan, a former Jeffco board member. About him: A “forever” Jeffco resident, Mitchell said he’s invested his life in the
county. A graduate of the University of Northern Colorado, Mitchell took a teaching position in Jeffco, swiftly moving into an administrator role as an assistant principal, a principal and an area achievement director. Now retired, he has worked as a volunteer and consultant for the district, filling in roles such as a “firefighter” fill-in assistant principal where they’re needed. Brings to the table: Along with his experience in the district, Mitchell said he’s a person of high integrity who values honesty, transparency and decision-making processes. If elected, he said he would re-establish credibility in the board room, look at extending the teacher contract, stop teacher attrition and establish a task force to review the current compensation plan. Hobbies and other interests: Out-
side of running in this election, Mitchell said he enjoys spending time with his wife, hiking, biking, and going on road trips. He also loves to sail and gathers a group of eight to sail on a catamaran once a year. In his own words: “I invested my life in education in Jefferson County. I believe it was a great school district — was it perfect, no; were we trying to make it better every day, yes. Was it a very good school district? Mm hmm.” “I want all of our employees to know that we’re at least valuing them and are concerned about them as employees of our district,” he said. “They all play a role in making a school a great school “I was convinced that perhaps I could take back Jeffco Schools,” he said. “If I could help take back Jeffco Schools, then that’s a battle I want to fight.”

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Have you checked out your local election ballot yet? We asked folks enjoying the sublime weather at the Westminster Promenade last Sunday if they are mulling over some of the city, county and school board issues that will be on this November’s election ballot. Mail-in ballots will be sent out the week of Oct. 12.
“No, not really. Just waiting to see what’s on there and to vote for what I want.” Allison Trejo, Westminster
“Localwise, I have no clue. I’ve only lived here three years. I’m paying more attention to national issues, like sorting out all the presidential candidates.” Kathy Sterner, Thornton
“No, not so much. I’m focused on other things like the crisis with ISIS. Also, there’s a lot of Republicans looking for the presidential nomination, and it tears the party apart.” Greg Kinard, Arvada “I haven’t even started looking at the ballots. I’ll definitely vote, but I usually procrastinate looking at it.” Mark Cheatham, Longmont

Protesters don’t belong in parade We loved the Arvada Harvest Festival Parade except for the few protesters in favor of recalling three of our school board members, whom we elected by the way. The whole idea of the Arvada Harvest Festival is to promote pride, goodwill and unity in our community. The protesters were in poor taste. Roger and Mary Reed, Arvada McGoff supported We are writing to endorse and recommend Mark McGoff for re-election to represent the Second District on the Arvada City Council. We have known Mark as a fellow gym member and as regular participants on his monthly city hikes. Mark represents what it truly means to be a public servant. He genuinely cares for this city, its past, present and future.His understanding of this city’s history is truly amazing. He seems to incorporate an appreciation for that history in his vision for the future. He understands that Arvada is a desirable place to live and will grow whether we like it or not. His well-informed vision will help this city intelligently manage the growth that will come. Mark does his homework on any issue that requires his attention. He has and will represent District 2 and the city as a pragmatic, well-informed decision maker. Just having the opportunity to take one of Mark’s monthly walks around the city, you really do get an appreciation for his intelligence and passion for this city. We are so fortunate to have Mark McGoff on the Arvada City Council. Please vote this November for Mark McGoff to continue to represent District 2 Stacy and Mark Springston, Arvada

Scoring the second Republican debate I didn’t watch CNN’s telecast of the Sept. 16 Republican debate because I was there in person. For some reason — maybe it was my last name — I was able to score three second-row seats at the Reagan Library for the two debates. More than 20 million people around the world tuned in, apparently making the three-hour debate CNN’s highest-rated show ever. It was a long night of politics and entertainment. I just hope my fellow conservative Republicans watching on TV saw the same political reality show I did — and learned some lessons. It’s pretty clear to everyone from Joe Scarborough to The New York Times editorial board that the three big winners were Carly Fiorina, Chris Christie and Marco Rubio. All three shined on stage when it came to substance, but Fiorina made herself a national household name overnight. She was smart, tough, passionate and quick on her feet, proving why she deserves to be on the main stage. She had several big “moments” and demonstrated a phenomenal grasp of the issues. Christie did well, connecting with voters, hitting several questions out of the park and reminding us why he was once a favorite in the 2016 race. Rubio still looks like he’s in grad school, but he showed he’s done his foreign policy homework and knows what makes America great. Meanwhile, the good doctor Ben Carson was a clear loser. He offered virtually no specifics, had no “moments”
and showed that while he’s a nice guy and a great surgeon, the presidency is out of his league. The biggest loser of the night was Donald Trump, who was as awful in person as he reportedly appeared on millions of splitscreen TVs. He made crazy faces, offended people, refused to apologize when he should have, spoke in his usual platitudes and never said a subMichael Reagan stantive sentence. I heard more than a few groans and complaints from the Republicans sitting behind me. Most of the other candidates — the governors and others who were not there because of their celebrity — did OK. They didn’t hurt themselves but they didn’t stand out, either. Jeb Bush did better than last time, which isn’t saying much, but he’s in for the long haul. He’ll do better when there are fewer candidates left and the debates turn more serious. Scott Walker did better too, though he seemed to disappear sometime late in hour two. Last time I remember seeing him, he was staring at fiery Fiorina and nodding in agreement like a bobblehead. Ted Cruz was correct on all the issues, but he’s not as likable as Rubio, whose only flaw is he still looks like he’s in grad school. Mike Huckabee got in a lick or two, but he’s still beat-
ing the drum for his Fair Tax, which everyone except him knows will never go anywhere. Rand Paul was there, I think. So was Gov. John Kasich. Kasich was Kasich — solid and substantive. He’s a winner who knows how to govern Ohio sensibly, but he probably should have been included in the preliminary debate with Rick Santorum, George Pataki, Bobby Jindal and Lindsey Graham. The opening debate, which Graham stole with his humor and GOP team spirit, was better in some ways because without the 2,000-pound celebrity in the room it was all substance. I’m concerned about Trump for a lot of reasons. Yet for all the trouble he’s causing the GOP, his celebrity presence is actually doing real conservatives a great favor. He’s already brought tens of millions of new eyeballs to the debate broadcasts that otherwise would never have been made aware of the existence of candidates like Fiorina or Kasich. I just hope those millions of viewers saw what I saw at the Reagan Library — that Emperor Trump had no clothes on and most of the other real Republican candidates were well dressed.

Recent break-in won’t break me down My car was broken into last night. I’ve recently moved, and everything except my vehicle is in the garage, so my car was in an outside space at my condo complex. It took me a while this morning to process what had happened. I was loading some stuff into the back of the car when I noticed the dome lights were on and the driver’s side door was slightly ajar. Uh-oh, I thought, how could I have done that? When I jumped inside and started the engine, I was flooded with relief. But wait … why are the contents of my make-up stash scattered on the passenger seat? Why is my owner’s manual on the floor? In fact, the glove box is broken, so why is it even open at all? Realization came to me slowly as I thumbed through options in my mind, and it dawned on me this disarray was not of my own making. With a thudding heart, I threw back the lid of the console. Cash, gone. I pawed through the glove box. Electronics, gone. I had been burglarized. I’m lucky, though. The thieves didn’t break a window, and there was very little of value inside — about $30 in ones and fives that I use for parking and to hand to street corner people. The electronics

vorite scenes in recent movies, which I’ve probably mentioned before, is the scene in “Iron Man 2,” in which the Tony Stark character gets a glimpse of a piece of, apparently, trash, and proceeds to manufacture a new radioactive element that afternoon. Now, although much of that scene is laughably impossible, it does highlight exactly how real genius inspiration works. Tony Stark sees a thing which triggers an instinctive reaction — that moment is pure inspiration. But what follows, the digging deeper, the asking the right questions, the manipulating the possibilities, and, ultimately, the act of creation, are all the result of architecture and preparation — resources and education. My point is this: I value education because, when it’s really good, education prepares minds to make leaps of informed intuition that lead to discovery and innovation, which sometimes look like luck. This system we’ve built, this architecture, which prepares students to take tests without thought, to accumulate debt without direction, and to pay hom-
were just connections and plug-ins for my phone and my music. Plus – thank goodness – I take the garage door opener with me when I park my car outside. All anyone would have needed to do was push the button to see which Andrea Doray garage opened and ALCHEMY then help themselves. I’m 99.99 percent sure I locked my car. Besides, I heard the locks click open when I used the remote key fob. True, I did have the back windows cracked because it’s been so hot and I’m guessing that’s how they got in. I’m not well versed in such things. So what is to be learned here? I wasn’t careless. I wasn’t someplace considered unsafe. I wasn’t personally a target. I’ve let the HOA know and filed a police report for the purpose of tracking such activity. Of course, this is a teeny tiny minis-
age at the altar of higher learning without acquiring discernment — or, apparently, useful skills — is a waste of opportunity. I was blessed: In my day, the truly brilliant, passionate teachers who pushed me to dig deeper and search for real meaning weren’t burdened by this system, and that’s how they inspired me to embark on this 20-year odyssey to overnight success as a writer. But, in spite of the best efforts of many dedicated and inspiring teachers, the architecture today has some serious shortcomings, and I don’t see the next generation being set up for the same sort of future. The systems we build matter, because they are the source of whatever preparation we provide. And, whether the ultimate opportunity is curing cancer, or building a better engine, or winning a football game, if the systems we’ve created can’t prepare students for those opportunities, then we should look to others to change the status quo and create better.

cule incident in a world where really bad things happen all the time to really good people, people who have no recourse for simply moving on with their lives — as I can. I am not a refugee fleeing what had been my home. I’m not a survivor of a catastrophic disaster. I can simply shrug this off. The lessons for me, then, are that a home, a family, a car with a garage to put it in — as well as the opportunity to enjoy all this every day — are never to be taken for granted. That I am blessed to have an
ordinary life and that living it well is not only my privilege, but also my duty. My plan has been to move my car inside the garage before the snow flies. I now have a greater urgency — just as I have a fervent need to value all that I have been given, when so many others have been robbed of so much.

How to Choose the Right Attorney By Brandon R. Ceglian Finding the right attorney for your legal matter can be a daunting task. Legal issues can be stressful enough without worrying about whether your attorney knows what they are doing, cares about your case, and is progressing your matter in a cost-effective way toward your goals. So how should a person go about finding the right attorney? Referrals. Asking around to friends, family and co-workers is a great place to start your search. Their experiences can be invaluable to finding a skilled attorney. It is important to also find out how your friend, co-worker or family member was treated by that attorney, and how that attorney treated other parties involved in their legal issue or dispute. You do not want an attorney dealing with your matter in a way that does not match your concerns or value system.
Internet searches. The internet is another great place to find skilled attorneys or to follow-up on referrals you obtained. There are now thousands of attorney advertisement and information websites. Some will just help you find an attorney while others like martindale.com give you the ability to compare attorneys sideby-side and Avvo.com provides attorney rankings. The Colorado Bar Association also has a “find a lawyer,” section at www. cobar.org/directory. When researching prospects, make sure to also check out their website. It will tell you much about their experience, style, location, firm resources, and practice areas. In summary, there is no one attorney that is the right fit for every client but it is worth taking the time to find the right attorney for you. Finding the right attorney will shed stress from your life and cost you less in the long run.

31 years ago in 1984, Applewood Quality Builders started their business in the general contracting industry, providing mostly remodeling work for residential customers, commercial tenant finish, general roofing replacement and concrete work. Applewood Quality Builders continued in this area of work until 1993, when they were contracted to install RTD bus shelters throughout the metroDenver area. The RTD shelters kept the company busy for several years and Applewood Quality Builders decided in 1998 to scale down the volume of residential and commercial projects and they decided to continue with only concrete related projects. In 2000, Applewood Quality Builders took over the property maintenance for its sister company, Applewood Office Park, that owns and manages commercial properties in the west area and does all ongoing maintenance and operations for all these buildings.
Today, Applewood Quality Builders does only concrete work such as concrete driveways, sidewalks, steps, garage floors, basement floors and concrete structural repair. Applewood Quality Builders has the equipment to do the excavation, preparation, forming and pouring for any type of concrete related work. They also do color and patterned stamp concrete work.

TREATMENTS FOR PARKINSON’S DISEASE Exercise: Research suggests regular, daily exercise may help to slow progression of the disease. Exercise helps to keep people mobile, muscles strong and well-toned, maintain overall health and prevent secondary consequences of immobility. Exercise is also known to improve mood and alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, and reduce the risk of cognitive impairment. Medication: Medications are divided into two categories— medications for motor symptoms and medications for non-motor symptoms. It is not uncommon for people with Parkinson’s disease to be on a large number of daily medications. Alternative and/or complementary medicine: Alternative and complementary therapies are becoming more common and accepted among Parkinson’s patients. Common therapies include: Yoga: Yoga can improve strength, balance and posture, and can help improve mental health.

Deep Brain Stimulation surgery: Approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a treatment in 2002, Deep Brain Stimulation surgery, or DBS, can improve the management and/or reduce the severity of many of the motor symptoms, and reduce the amount of needed medication. DBS is thought to improve the patient’s quality of life, and may extend life. Two devices make the surgery work. An electrode is implanted in the patient’s brain and a neurostimulator, a device similar to a pacemaker, is implanted in the chest near the collarbone. The two devices are connected, and impulses from the neurostimulator interfere with, and block, the electrical signals that trigger motion disorders. DBS has been proven effective for Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Information gathered from Parkinson Association of the Rockies. Learn more at www.parkinsonrockies.org. Information on DBS courtesy of the Denver DBS Center’s website, www.southdenverneurosurgery.org/denver-dbs-center.

WHAT IS PARKINSON’S DISEASE? Parkinson’s disease is a brain disorder that affects a person’s muscle movement. It is progressive, meaning symptoms continue and worsen over time, and degenerative, which means it’s irreversible. People with Parkinson’s produce less dopamine, a chemical that sends messages to the part of the brain that controls movement and coordination. As the disease progresses, the amount of dopamine produced in the brain decreases and symptoms become more pronounced. Motor and non-motor symptoms can affect a person with Parkinson’s. Motor symptoms include tremor of the hands, arms, legs, jaw and face; slowness of movement such as slowed responses and even the lack of facial expressions; rigidity or stiffness of the limbs and trunk, to the point it may cause pain to the person; difficulty swallowing and problems with speech

mood changes such as depression and anxiety, fatigue, slowed thinking, dry skin and cognitive changes.

Parkinson’s, and nearly 1 million of them live in the U.S. An estimated 60,000 new cases are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, according to the Parkinson Association of the Rockies. The most difficult challenge of the disease, said Denver resident Brian Hyde, 66, who has dealt with Parkinson’s for about 11 years, is “overcoming the feeling that you can’t do the things you used to be able to do.” No cure exists for Parkinson’s disease, but there are ways for people to improve their quality of life. A regular exercise regime that focuses on neuroprotection, protecting neurons in the brain from degeneration, and neuroplasticity, getting different areas of the brain to do the work, can help. Deep brain stimulation surgery, or DBS, which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for Parkinson’s disease in 2002, can alleviate motor symptoms that affect those with the disease. “You want to see people doing stuff,” said Erica DeMarch, a physical therapist who has been teaching an exercise class for Parkinson’s patients for the past four years. “You don’t want them to stop just because they have Parkinson’s.” People who attend her Edgewater class have seen results, she said. One climbed a Colorado fourteener. Another took a trip to Disney World. Still another traveled to China.

Engvall coming to Paramount Bill Engvall will be performing live at Paramount Theatre at 8 p.m. Jan. 30. Ticket prices range from $39.50 to $59.50. A very limited number of VIP tickets for $154 are available, which include a meet and greet. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. Tickets can be purchased at AltitudeTickets.com or by phone 303-893-TIXS (303-893-8497). Engvall is a Grammy nominated, multiplatinum-selling recording artist and one of the top comedians in the country. Most recently, Bill was a contestant on season 17 of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” and as a fan favorite, he made it to the finals. A native of Galveston, Texas, Engvall moved to Dallas and worked as a disc jockey with plans of becoming a teacher. While in a nightclub one evening, he tried his hand at stand-up comedy and found that making people laugh was truly his
“People can do a lot more when you expect more from them,” DeMarch said. “It’s important for people to know — and feel — that they can do it.” The most rewarding part, DeMarch said, is “to see the smiles — and when people tell me how much better they feel.” DBS can back up symptoms about 10 years, said Dr. David VanSickle, who performs about 100 DBS surgeries a year, mostly through his Denver DBS Center, which is an affiliation of South Denver Neurosurgery headquartered at Littleton Adventist Hospital. The operation can help most motor symptoms of Parkinson’s — tremor, rigidity, slowness — but does not help nonmotor symptoms such as sense of smell or balance, for which some Parkinson’s patients may still need medication. Some Parkinson’s patients must take 20 to 30 pills a day, VanSickle said. But after DBS, that amount can usually be cut by at least half. One of the surgery’s most favorable results, according to patients, is the ability to regain facial expressions, VanSickle said. “That helps them with their relationships. It might sound superficial, but people are always happy with that.” The surgery entails implanting an electrode into the patient’s brain and connecting that to a neurostimulator, a device similar to a pacemaker, implanted in the chest near the collarbone. Marilyn Cloud, 78, underwent DBS surgery about six years ago to treat essential tremor, a nerve disorder characterized by uncontrollable shaking.

Hers began with one thumb in the latter years of her 60s. Also like Parkinson’s, the affliction worsens and has no cure. But Cloud found her answer with DBS surgery. “When my stimulator is turned off, it’s essentially like I have no hands,” she said, “because I can’t do anything with them.” She can’t write or type on a keyboard, put in earrings or apply makeup, and she is unable to eat “very gracefully.” DBS truly can improve a person’s quality of life, VanSickle said. “It works, it’s safe and it’s minimally invasive,” he said, noting risks include
about a 2 percent chance of infection and a rare chance of stroke. But, he added, before and after DBS, exercise also has proven benefits. Hyde and Rynerson agree. “The best days for me are the days I come to class,” Hyde said. And the group exercise atmosphere is helpful, Rynerson said. “I tend to get busy. The group activity reminds me that I have to keep doing it.” It’s all about regaining a feeling of independence. “This helps us get back some of that control,” Hyde said. “The more we can do for ourselves, the better for our families.”

Mayoral race Lake Arbor resident Dave Chandler did not attend. He cited the incumbent council members’ involvement with the chamber as an inherent bias. “I stand on principles of fairness and openness — this Chandler Williams particular forum falls short of those principles,” Chandler said in a statement to the paper. Arvada lawyer Marc Williams was elected mayor in 2011 after serving 12 years on the city council and being involved with the Arvada Community Food Bank, the Arvada Chamber of Commerce and several local, county and statewide committees and boards of directors. “One of our major issues is to be able to have multi-family, owner-occupied housing,” Williams said about having more affordable housing in the city. “We can’t have that or we don’t have a lot of that now throughout the Denver-metropolitan region because of construction defects laws. And Arvada City Council is poised to take action because the state legislature … refused to allow a debate and a dialogue to happen. … That’s what’s important, to be able to have that conversation, to be able to deal with the issues so there is a wide variety of housing stock being built in the community for all levels of folks.” District 4, West of Kipling Street Incumbent Bob Dyer held a position on the Arvada City Council from 1991 through 1999. He was elected again in 2007. He has been involved with the Arvada Fire Protection District and the Arvada Chamber of Dyer Jones Commerce Board of Directors, the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority Board, and as a co-founder and president of the Arvada Vitality Alliance. David Jones is a native Arvadan, father, CEO and president of Sonsio, an automotive company in west Arvada. He has served on several volunteer organizations, has a business background and is active with his faith. “Arvada’s always been considered a bedroom community, but now it’s time we bring those types of services to the area in a responsible way so they look good and fit well in the community,” Jones said on filling the grocery and retail gap in the Leyden Rock and Candelas neighborhoods. “We really need to look at this and understand what the needs are.” “We have to make sure we don’t change outlying development plans that allocate the proper land use and we shouldn’t be doing anything that’s going to discourage finishing the development of the planned areas,” Dyer said on the same question. “When you start looking at areas around 64th and McIntyre, the problem is — where is there land to put anything else?”
District 1, North of 80th Avenue on both the west and east side of Wadsworth Boulevard Incumbent Jerry Marks was appointed to the Arvada City Council in January 2014 after former councilmember Rachel Zenzinger was appointed to fill a vacancy in the Colorado Senate. Marks is an Arvada native, business owner, co-founder of the Arvada Vitality Alliance nonprofit and former volunteer firefighter and chairman of the Arvada Chamber of Commerce. “My elephant in the room is to attract people to Jefferson County the school board has to get their act together,” Marks said. “You know right, wrong whoever you support — they have to unite and fix things. There are businesses that are looking at maybe not coming to Jefferson County because of what’s happening with the school board and affordable housing and those things. I would focus my energy
District 2, South of 80th to Highway 76 Incumbent Mark McGoff is seeking his third council term. Over his 46 years in Arvada, McGoff has served as president of the Arvada Center Arts Council, the Arvada Historical Society and the Arvada Jefferson Kiwanis Club. He also has been involved with the board of directors for the Historic Olde Town Arvada merchants association.“I think there could be more emphasis on the industrial area of Arvada,” McGoff said. “At the Gold Strike Station, 58th and Sheridan (east of that intersecPalm McGoff tion) is a big industrial area that needs great improvement — I think we can do more there. Again, it takes a lot of work with Adams County. Fifty-eighth Avenue is in need of much improvement. ... There’s Adams County industrial land to be developed and there’s City of Arvada land to be developed between Sheridan and Tennyson Streets and I think that’s where we need to concentrate more of our economic development efforts.” David Palm is a Colorado native and
Council-at-large Incumbent Bob Fifer was elected to the Arvada City Council in 2011. Among other volunteer positions, he is vice president of the Arvada Community Food Bank Board of Directors, past president of the Historic Olde Town Arvada merchants association, a member of the Arvada Historical Society, a graduate of the Transit Alliance Citizen’s Academy and a baseball umpire and coach. Kathy Drulard is a former records and administrative manager for the Air Pollution and Water Quality Control divisions of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. She Is also a volunteer and has been active with Boy Scouts and Jeffco Schools, was a founding member of the Friends of the Jefferson County Library Foundation and volunteered with CASA, or the Court Appointed Special Advocates for Jefferson and Gilpin counties.

did not attend the event. He is concerned about urban renewal, growth in northwest Arvada and, as he said in a release on a community website, a lack of respect for community. He was contacted for comments and information regarding the forum, but did not respond as of press time. “The whole purpose of the Gold Line is to get folks out of their cars and find mass transit,” Fifer said on enhancing the neighborhoods around each Gold Line station. “We need to create some density where people do not need cars —

they can find other mass transit to get to their job. And I also believe in promoting walkable, livable communities around there and making sure you can get there safely without a vehicle, again reducing traffic, in turn reducing your carbon footprint, which promotes a sustainable future and supports a vibrant community.” “We need to fix our Arvada Ridge Road — that road is in terrible shape,” Drulard said on the same issue. “If we’re going to have walkability, bike-ability, we need to make sure all the sidewalks at the stations are working. I’d also like to see some businesses near some of the stations … such as pharmacies or perhaps small grocery stores. This would enable people to stay away from cars and develop less air pollution.”

on those support services.” Nancy Ford moved to Arvada and started her own Marks Ford business, the Ford Research Group, LLC. She is also a professor at Metropolitan State University and is active in the city’s Sustainability Advisory Committee and the Citizens Capital Improvement Plan Committee. She provided input to the city’s comprehensive plan. “First, I would talk to the residents in my district to find out if there really are needs for recreation,“ Ford said. “Then I would find out what they were and I would look at the city’s priorities and identify what funding is available and go from there.”

Coach recovers from concussion Editor’s note: This week, Jim Benton kicks off his new column giving insight into and a behind-the-scenes look at high school sports in the metro area.

Pomona wins gymnastics invitational Panthers capture team title, individual honors By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Pomona Panthers pounced on the opportunity to shine at the Sept. 19 Overland Invitational gymnastics meet, winning the team title with 182.025 points to best runner-up Cherry Creek. Pomona’s Alyssa Minyard earned the points to become the meet’s all-around medalist. She finished first in vault, third in the uneven parallel bars and sixth in the floor exercise. Teammate Kelsey Boychuk was third in all-around scoring. In individual events, she won the uneven parallel bars event, took second in vault and sixth in floor exercise. Other Pomona top finishers included Anabel Spence, who was fourth on the balance beam, and Hadley Hagemann, who finished fifth in the event. Area teams garnering honors included Arvada West, finishing fifth, and Green Mountain at eighth. Bear Creek also competed.
Bear Creek coach Amy McDonald said the Bears are a young team with building potential. “We have a strong group of seniors who are leading the way, and our goals are much higher than we have had the last couple years,” she said. “Bear Creek has a rich gymnastics history and we are trying to build back to that level.” McDonald said the question of how long she has coached the Bears is a good one. “I was the Bear Creek coach for 22 years,” she said. “I then took a 10-year break while my kids were in high school and college. Then, when the position opened up last year, I applied and was hired.” The sport has changed since she left coaching 10 years ago. “More of the athletes are now competing in gymnastics all year, plus the equipment has consistently gotten better,” she said. “I think the sport is as exciting now as it has ever been.” The team’s top senior, Amanda Milton, was only competing on the uneven parallel bars because of an ankle injury. “I began doing gymnastics when I was 4, but this is the first year I have competed for my high school,” Milton said. “I do club gymnastics all year and I have found only a
few things different when I joined the Bear Creek team. There is some difference in the warm-ups and the competition. There also is a lot more cheering in high school and the team members are closer in high school.” Her favorite gymnastics event is the balance beam, Milton said. “I think I like the beam because of the challenge,” she said. “The techniques are a lot harder, but it also is a lot of fun.” She injured her ankle a couple of weeks ago. “I am excited to compete today even though it is just bars,” she said. “But I am also excited because I am getting better and soon will be able to return to competing in all the events again.” A gymnastics meet involves four different competitions — floor exercise, balance beam, uneven parallel bars and vault. Each meet is an individual and a team competition. Each gymnast strives to win top honors in each event, plus each competitor earns points that contribute to the team’s score to win a first-place trophy. Although some gymnasts are specialists in one or two events, some compete in all four events, thus becoming eligible to be in the running for all-around gymnast honors.
Wildcat Invitational an ageless race Event gives area youth first taste of cross-country competition By Scott Stocker Special to Colorado Community Media The Arvada West Invitational — open to all age groups from high school to elementary — has become one of the finest overall cross-country meets. And although only 10 high school teams competed, several other schools entered participants, just not full teams. Golden’s Alan Hornecker dominated in the high school boys race, running a flat course Sept. 18 at the Stenger Complex in Arvada to a first-place finish in 15:56, outpacing runner-up Harrison Scudamore of Denver East and third-place Max Sevcik of Arvada West, who both timed in at 16:39. Scudamore’s lean at the finish line gave him the silver medal. “It was a good race with very fine competition,” Hornecker said. “I was able to get the lead right away after the quarter mile and I just wanted to stay relaxed in a longer race. It was a toaster out there today. At two miles, I felt really good and I was able to come through with my best time ever.”
It was a race to the finish for Scudamore as his lean turned out splendidly. “This was a good day and one in which you want to focus and work hard,” Scudamore said. “I just didn’t want weather to be a factor, either. I just wanted to be a leader for us.” Sevcik felt disappointed he couldn’t pull out the high finish. “It was really windy out there,” Sevcik said. “You have to focus on the course and pay attention to what you have to do as well as try to keep an eye on the others. I wanted to pick it up on the sidewalks. Having someone push me was good. 16:39 was my fastest this season, but not the best that I’ve run in the past.” Arvada West’s Josh Campbell (16:47) and Colin Berndt (16:58) finished in fourth and fifth, respectively, helping the Wildcats score a team-winning 37 points. Justin Andrade ran 17:29 for an 11th-place finish and Andres Perez, 17:44, rounded out the best finishes for the Wildcats. Grandview finished a distanct second in the team race with 80 points, while Golden was third with 111. Cory Smith, running 16:58, and Ben Ehrhard, 17:16, finished sixth and seventh, respectively, to help pace the Wolves. Todd Moore, who coaches Arvada West,
said he was pleased with the effortof his boys and girls teams. “Both gave it a very good effort as we just want to win our own meet,” Moore said. “This will help us prepare for the rest of the season. The kids have just been trying hard in every meet and work so hard in practice.” Grandview’s Oakley dominates girls Grandview’s Brie Oakley cashed in on her second victory of the season in the girls competition, running a solid 19:14. She was followed in second by Golden’s Mary Fox (19:28) and Skyview’s Cassie Unruh (19:46). Oakley’s effort also helped pace Grandview to the team title with 37 points. Arvada West was second with 78 points, followed by Standley Lake with 82. Open girls D’Evelyn’s Lexi Reed dominated in the girls Open race, covering the course in 18:46. “I had a knee injury and I’m just getting back,” Reed said. “This is my first race back and I’m feeling pretty good. I was third at state last year and I just want to come back strong. My key was to chase the bike.” Grandview won the Open girls title with 28 points, followed by D’Evelyn with 60 and Denver East, 98.
Those hard-to-forget, duck-and-cover drills were used decades ago in schools to teach youngsters to burrow under something as protection against a nuclear explosion. Englewood volleyball coach Kristal Kostiew didn’t get a chance to duck — or cover — during the warmups of the Pirates’ Sept. 10 match against Falcon and was hit Jim Benton on the side of her OVERTIME head by an errant spike. Kostiew suffered a concussion and couldn’t drive for a few days. Assistant coach Erica James took over the coaching reins for the Falcon match. “I was kind of fuzzy for a few days and had the headaches,” she said, “but I’m doing well now.” Valor wins Jeffco title with record 22-underpar round Coby Welch and the Valor Christian golf team demolished the Deer Creek Golf Course with a 22-under par school record round of 266 on Sept. 14 to win the Jefferson County League 4A title. The tees were moved up, but it was still an awesome round. Only the scores of the top four golfers counted in the team standings, but the Eagles had six golfers finish under par, led by Welch’s 10-underpar 62, which was a school record. Tim Amundson carded a 66, David Leede and Philip Lee each had 69s, and for good measure, Jake Welch fired a 70 and Zach Zurcher a 1-under-par 71. Last September, Valor had four players card under-par rounds at the regional tournament at Raccoon Creek, and three players were under par in a junior varsity championship tournament at Thorncreek on the same day. “Just based on the tees played, I’d give the edge to 9/18 last year since we had two different sets of teams both shoot 11-under par the same day,” said Valor coach Jason Preeo. “But it’s still a great day when six players shoot under par.” Rock Canyon splitting quarterback duties Steve Spurrier, the former Duke and Florida football coach now at the helm at South Carolina, once rotated quarterbacks every play. He obviously doesn’t subscribe to the saying that if a team has two quarterbacks it doesn’t have one. Rock Canyon coach Brian Lamb has been rotating senior quarterbacks Josh Goldin and Max Lush each series this season. Neither player has been significantly better than the other so Lamb is using both. Running back Jacob Snocker claims he doesn’t care who hands him the ball. “It has worked out,” said Snocker. “Of course, we would like to have one starter, but both of them have worked so hard. Both of them have proven they are good enough to get the job done. So they deserve to split time.” Warriors know what it’s like to win The 3n2 Warriors, with seven players from elementary schools in Highlands Ranch, Castle Pines and Parker, won the 10U Triple Crown National Baseball Championship in Park City, Utah, in July. It was the second national title in three years for the Warriors, and six of the players have been on the same team for the past four summers. The 2015 team went 60-12-2 under the direction of head coach Ryan Duman and assistants Jon Shank and Eric Jaworsky. Time management key for coach After talking with Cherry Creek coach Dave Logan and Pomona coach Jay Madden following the Bruins-Panthers Sept. 11 game, Logan could be heard doing a

Experience the Native American culture
By Corrie Sahling csahling@coloradocommunitymedia.com What is it? The Denver American Indian Festival is a free, family-friendly event for all people, of all races. It runs 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26, and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 27. The two-day festival is to educate both the Native American community and others that co-existing is possible — that all people can provide for each other and everyone can help with poverty and hunger. The organizers also say they want to provide Native American people a safe place to come where they will be treated with love and respect. Because of the loss of a core team member, the inaugural event was held in memory of Susie Aikman. This year the festival’s theme is to raise awareness of
the homelessness problem that affects many Native Americans. What not to miss Nonstop entertainment at the festival will include a performance from Grammy winner, Red Feather Woman, as well as performances from local children. There will be many Native American vendors, selling everything from jewelry, natural beauty products and artwork. Indian tacos and Indian fry bread will also be available for purchase. A Kidz Zone will have seven different American Indian crafts to be taught by local Girl Scout Troops. The festival will be at the Good Shepard United Methodist Church, 3960 E. 128th Ave., in Thornton. More information is available at www. shepherdchurch.org/#!2014-americanindian-festival/cxlz.
The Denver American Indian Festival was held in Thornton last year for its inaugural event; the festival is back this year, expecting bigger crowds. Photo courtesy of the Denver American Indian Festival.
