IT’S ELEMENTARY iSTEM success blossoms in year one Program relies on outside funding By Amy Woodward awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com

Susan Arntson, assistant princi-pal and iSTEM director at Bell Mid-dle School presented city council with a report on iSTEM’s progress after its fi rst year at Bell during the council’s Sept. 26 meeting.

The report came just in time as municipalities move into the mid-dle of their budget cycle. Last year, the city of Golden funded $5,000 to iSTEM at Bell.

Science, Technology, Engineer-ing, and Math or iSTEM is an edu-cational program providing alter-native ways for students to learn math and sciences. The curriculum combines all academic compo-nents of a traditional curriculum like language arts and history and then pairs it with math and science concepts.

“The kids are learning the same things but they are learning it in terms of a problem to solve so they have a need to learn those skills,” Arntson said.

Students who may not be mo-tivated in class, who struggle with math and science or just have an interest in the sciences can partici-pate in iSTEM.

In the fi rst year of Bell’s iSTEM program, students won regional competitions for their projects, and went to nationals. Student projects included Aquaponics, SeaPerch; an underwater remotely operated ve-

hicle for which two teams won fi rst and third place in the state, and LEGO Robotics.

iSTEM at Bell recruited 60 kids, and will branch out to both grade levels for the 2013-2014 school year with 60 kids in each level. Arntson is working to expand the number of kids who can participate, but funding is needed to support staff. “Growing the program takes more funding to hire more staff,” she said.

Currently there is no data to show how iSTEM has improved student understanding in math and scienc-es at Bell, but Arntson is working to collect those numbers. Some rough and raw data Arntson shared with council included a peaked interest in girls in the program, a 90 percent positive response from students, an a lot more parent engagement.

“We’re on a great track in terms of student achievement,” Arntson said to city council.

This year, Arntson will work to address challenges facing iSTEM which is to improve the curriculum that is more supportive to students struggling with math while still making it a program that is benefi -cial and of interest to the student.

An iSTEM elective for one se-mester will be added for Mitchell Elementary sixth grade kids com-ing into Bell. The elective will touch on engineering concepts that could spark a deeper interest in iSTEM’s program.

“This money has obviously been well used,” Bill Fisher, councilor for Ward 4 said. “I’m impressed.”

Je� co deputies sue for alleged unpaid wages County attorney � les a motion to dismiss case By Amy Woodward awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com

At least 10 deputies from the Jeffco Sheriff’s offi ce have fi led a complaint in federal district court against Sheriff Ted Mink and the Board of County Commis-sioners.

The county attorneys have fi led a mo-tion to dismiss the case in response.

The deputies’ complaint was fi led in December 2012. They claim that under the Fair Labor Standards Act, they are entitled

to unpaid wages from the county for over-time work.

The Fair Labor Standards Act passed by Congress in 1938 set the standards and regulations of operations between em-ployer and worker including minimum wage, overtime compensation and other additional provisions.

State law dictates the sheriff is respon-sible for setting salaries and wages for em-ployees subject to the approval of the BCC according to state statute.

According to the complaint, the sheriff allegedly published set salaries and wages in a posted document titled “Salary Sched-ule.”

Plaintiffs argue the salaries listed on the

schedules posted for the years 2010, 2011, and 2012 are not the amount they received for those years. Attorneys for the plaintiffs argue that both the salary schedule, and the policy and procedures manual consti-tuted a promise made by the county to the plaintiffs.

In a brief interview with Sheriff Ted Mink he stated the “Salary Schedule” was not a document refl ecting promised salary rates, but an internal document based on the results of a countywide salary survey conducted by a consulting fi rm hired by the BCC.

The results were used as a basis for what their step-in-grade program should be, and was never publicly posted or pub-

lished by Sheriff Mink.“It was only a recommendation that we

put together internally,” Sheriff Mink said and those recommendations were never funded by the BCC.

Pat Gilbert, county attorney, argues in the latest motion that “any alleged prom-ises to pay is unenforceable because the BCC did not approve the salary schedule as required,” and that plaintiffs have not provided suffi cient facts to show their rates of pay were the salary scheduled rates.

“We don’t believe they stated a federal claim for an overtime violation,” Gilbert said.

Counsel for the plaintiff’s did not com-ment by press time.

Getting disconnected is new comfort zone I’m off to Nepal this fall to trek, im-

merse in the Nepali culture, and wash elephants in the river on Chitwan National Preserve. As you might imagine, my part-ner on this adventure, Jackie, and I have been doing a lot of training. We’ve climbed stairs at Red Rocks and on the Manitou Incline, but mostly we’ve been hiking at about 12,000 feet.

Jackie follows a routine of letting people, usually her husband, know where we are at all times.

She says her comfort zone is the secu-rity of knowing that someone else knows, a habit born from years of solo business travel around the world. Or maybe, she says, her need for connection comes from watching too many movies about people lost in the wild or losing limbs in an ac-cident.

Whatever the reason, during our training hikes this summer, Jackie texts her husband a note about where we’re

going. She doesn’t bother with details, just something like “hiking up off Loveland Pass,” anticipating this information will be helpful if we fail to show up later.

We’ve never felt isolated though. The trails we choose are well traveled, almost to the point of congestion, and fellow hik-ers we’ve encountered have been friendly and engaging. In fact, on a day when I was having a hard time with heat and dehydra-tion, I sent Jackie on ahead to the lakes where I would meet her for lunch. I asked

another group of hikers on the trail to let her know that I was okay and on my way. They agreed and one even offered to stay with me on my way up. I did make it on my own, but that’s the kind of experience we’ve had.

When we arrived at the trailhead off Guanella Pass last weekend, though, we had no cell service. Jackie was concerned: If something happened, we couldn’t call for help (never mind the 20 cars already parked at the trailhead). She continued to feel out of touch until we were driving back on I-70 and her phone beeped when we were in range again.

That’s why Jackie and I have differing opinions about how much technology to take to Nepal. I’ve already decided to turn off on our Annapurna trek and enjoy being disconnected from the civilization I know here at home.

Jackie, on the other hand, is looking for ways to get power on the trail. Being con-

nected is her comfort zone.For me, trekking in Nepal is all about

getting out of my comfort zone. Or perhaps it’s more about fi nding another zone in which to be comfortable. I want to immerse in Nepali culture, to enjoy the experience of being disconnected from my life here — to the extent that I can with techo-fabric trekking clothes and water purifi ers. I want to meet interesting people who are as kind and generous as those here in Colorado. And, from everything I’ve heard, I will.

Lately, though, Jackie’s been consider-ing my perspective, and I’m hoping she ultimately turns off too, for both our sakes. I’ll let you know what she decides … right after we get back, and I reconnect with the world.

By JIM SMITH, Realtor® People are under the impression that real estate is seasonal — that spring and summer are the selling seasons for real estate. The fact is that while more homes sell during those times of year, people are buy-

ing homes year-round. The chart above shows the past year’s “seasonality,” if you can call it that. Last March and April saw the height of buyer activity throughout the metro area. It slowed down as summer progressed. But even now,

homes that are priced right are still selling quickly and often for full price. Another chart show-ing buyer activity by price range can be seen at JimSmithBlog.com.

Ballot issues up for debate Amendment 66 and Proposition AA topics at forum By Vic Vela vvela@ourcoloradonews.com

Wheat Ridge residents recently heard both sides of the arguments behind two signifi cant November ballot questions; each one aimed at providing more money for Colorado schools, with one measure af-fecting state taxpayers more than the other.

An Oct. 2 City Hall forum featured speakers both in support and in opposition of Amendment 66 and Proposition AA, two separate tax proposals tied to major pieces of legislation.

Amendment 66 seeks to overhaul the state’s school fi nance system, through an annual $950 million income tax hike on all Colorado taxpayers. The money would fund full-day kindergarten, preschool for at-risk youth, and would provide more resources for English language learners, special needs children and those who are involved in gifted and talented programs.

The funding pumps more money into Colorado schools statewide and aims to fi ll holes that have been caused by budget cut-backs over the years.

The money would support the imple-mentation of Senate Bill 213, the Future School Finance Act, which was passed by the Democrat-majority Legislature and signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper earlier this year. The legislation did not re-ceive a single Republican vote.

Lauren Arnold, an Amendment 66 back-er and “Jeffco mom,” told the audience that Jefferson County Public Schools has lost $1 billion in education funding over the last 10 years and that many other state school districts operate on a four-day-a-week schedule, because they cannot afford fi ve day school weeks.

“Every kid, regardless of where they grew up in Colorado … deserves a good education,” Arnold said. “They deserve a chance to succeed.”

The money to fund Amendment 66 would come from a two-tiered tax hike that would affect all Colorado taxpayers. It rais-

es income taxes to 5 percent on everyone earning $75,000 or less. Those who earn over that amount would pay 5 percent on the fi rst $75,000 in taxable income and 5.9 percent on taxable income above $75,000.

Colorado’s current income tax rate is a fl at 4.63 percent, regardless of income level.

Arnold said that the tax hike would be well-worth the money because the more students are educated now, they less likely they are to get into trouble later.

“When we invest in education we actu-ally save money down the line,” she said. “We save the money on policing, prisons and social services.”

But opponents like Jon Keyser think the tax hike would unnecessarily burden Colo-radans, blasting the measure as “the largest tax increase in Colorado history.”

“Amendment 66 promises education re-form, but throwing money at the problem just won’t work,” he said.

Keyser — who is running for the state House District 25 seat next year, one that is currently being held by Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen — said that Jeffco tax payers would not get the kind of return on invest-ment as other school districts if Amend-ment 66 passes. He said that the district

would only get back about 56 cents for ev-ery dollar that Jeffco taxpayers pay into the new school fi nance formula.

“That’s more of a shell game,” he said. “That’s a gamble at best.”

Proposition AA Arguments were also made for and

against a tax measure that would fund regulation of the newly-created retail mari-juana industry, one that was made legal through passage of last year’s Amendment 64.

Proposition AA asks voters to approve a 15 percent excise tax and a 10 percent retail tax on marijuana sales. Revenue from the excise tax will go toward public school con-struction, while the money collected from the retail tax will back the regulations that were enacted by the Legislature.

The 25 percent state tax does not in-clude whatever local taxes might be im-posed by individual municipalities.

The tax structure was put in place by the Legislature earlier this year and it received bipartisan support. The regulations were signed into law by Hickenlooper, but voters still must approve the taxes, which will only affect persons who purchase marijuana.

“If you don’t use marijuana, you don’t pay this tax,” said Joe Megyesy of the Yes on Proposition AA campaign.

Megyesy said that advocates of the new marijuana industry worked with state lawmakers this year to ensure that the proposed tax structure does enough to regulate pot sales, while also making sure that users don’t seek cheaper alternatives through the black market.

“We felt we got this tax down to a level that will still allow a legit marijuana indus-try to emerge in Colorado,” he said.

But Miguel P. Lopez said that’s not go-ing to happen. The Wheat Ridge native and Proposition AA opponent told forum-goers that the “onerous” regulations will only benefi t criminals who sell the drug illegally, and would “push kids to buy it someplace else, where it’s cheaper.”

“The taxes are absolutely just too high for the state to talk about overregulation,” Lopez said.

Candidates make their pitch School board candidates come together for forum By Vic Vela vvela@ourcoloradonews.com

Jefferson County school board candidates made their pitches to voters at a Wheat Ridge forum last week.

Five of the six candidates who are seeking positions on the Jeffco Board of Education gave short speeches touting their attributes, during an Oct. 2 event at city hall.

The six hopefuls are vying to fi ll three open seats on the fi ve-member board. The board seats are broken up into individual districts, but Jeffco voters will vote for all three races, regard-less of where they live in the county.

Gordon “Spud” Van de Water and Ken Witt will square off in a race to fi ll a District 5 seat, one that represents their home city of Littleton and parts of south Lakewood.

Van De Water told audience members that his nickname of “Spud” came from “Spud”

Chandler, a former New York Yankees pitcher who Van de Water said used to have trouble fi nding the strike zone.

But this Spud — who worked in education

policy and research areas for three decades — believes that he is making a strong pitch to voters who want to see more children in Jeffco succeed, such as those who may be struggling in areas of academic performance.

“We need to work very hard to make student achievement our number one goal and work to close the achievement gap in this county,” he said.

Witt touted his data security business back-ground, one where he “set policy for multi-billion dollar corporations” as a leadership strength that he hopes to bring to the school board. Like Van de Water, he talked about the district’s need to close student performance gaps and his desire to address parents’ frustra-tions over school waiting lists.

“I would like to make certain that we are able to deliver access to a high quality education to every Jeffco student,” Witt said.

Also addressing Wheat Ridge voters on Oct. 2 were two Westminster mothers who are com-peting for a District 1 seat, one that represents their home city and much of Arvada.

Tonya Aultman-Bettridge talked about her 20-year career in research and evaluation work in the areas of juvenile justice and mental health.

“If I’ve learned anything in 20 years of re-search, I have learned that a solid public edu-cation is absolutely the best investment that we can make as a community for our children,” she said.

Aultman-Bettridge’s opponent, Julie Wil-liams, is the self-proclaimed “conservative choice” in the District 1 race.

In her speech, she blasted “educrats” and

vowed to bring “common sense and simple so-lutions” to the school board.

“I can think of no higher calling on earth than being a mom,” she said. “I want to be the mom’s voice on our school board.”

The District 2 match-up features John Newkirk of Conifer and Jeff LaMontagne of Lakewood. The district includes the candidates’ home cities, as well as Evergreen and parts of Golden.

Newkirk, who has worked in the medical technology fi eld, touted his 20 years of youth volunteer work and his own Jeffco schooling. He also talked about the challenges that the district faces.

“We’ve got our challenges,” he said. “We have budget challenges; we have classroom chal-lenges; we have curriculum challenges. But as we’ve learned, in America we do not run from our challenges, we run toward them.”

LaMontagne did not attend the event. In his stead, Sue Windels, a LaMontagne supporter, gave a speech where she talked about LaMon-tagne’s role in co-founding the Second Wind Foundation, an organization that provides counseling services for children who are at-risk for suicide.

“I know that Jeff has really positively impact-ed the lives of many students and probably has saved a lot of lives as well,” she said.

The forum, which was sponsored by Wheat Ridge United Neighborhoods, did not include a question-and-answer segment for the school board candidates.

The next school board forum is scheduled for Oct. 10 at Lakewood’s Holy Shepard Lutheran Church, 920 Kipling. The event will be 7-9 p.m.

Martensen eyed for training ground Wheat Ridge police, Je� co school district exploring possibility By Vic Vela vvela@ourcoloradonews.com

A shuttered Wheat Ridge school could end up getting new life as a police training facility.

The campus of the defunct Martensen El-ementary School, 6625 West 45th Place, is being discussed as a possible site for a regional law enforcement and school safety training center.

The former school could be used to host police tactical and force-simulator training, as well as other areas of law enforcement training, including training involving situations of class-room violence.

Whether the training facility becomes a real-

ity is too soon to tell. The fi rst step in the public process came during an Oct. 7 Wheat Ridge City Council study session, where council members heard a presentation from Wheat Ridge Chief Dan Brennan and representatives from Jeffer-son County Public Schools.

Martensen was closed due to low enrollment in 2010 as part of a school district consolida-tion effort. Jeffco schools maintain the upkeep of the campus, even though it’s no longer being used as a school.

The idea of the 4.7-acre campus being used as a police training site gained movement in August, when members of the Wheat Ridge Police Department, along with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Offi ce and police departments in Arvada, Lakewood and Edgewater toured the former school’s grounds.

“There was consensus among representa-

tives that this site has the potential to be used as a school safety and law enforcement training center,” Brennan wrote in a memorandum that was presented to council members prior to the study session.

A separate Jeffco Schools memo states that in this year alone, local law enforcement agen-cies have conducted 46 police training events at schools around the county.

However, “schools in use are not always op-timal locations for law enforcement realistic training needs that are so critical to success,” the Jeffco memo reads.

The memo states that Martensen would of-fer a “unique” site for police to conduct train-ing, “without disturbing a student population.”

The Jefferson County Board of Education will hold a public meeting regarding phases of development, if the proposal moves forward.

Federal Center hit by shutdown Center goes into ‘weekend mode’ By Clarke Reader and Amy Woodward creader@ourcoloradonews.com, awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com

The Federal Center in Lakewood is one place in Colorado that is feeling the full force of the federal government shutdown.

The campus, which is normally full of vehicles and has about 6,200 employees, has the feeling of a ghost town.

Only minimal staff have been retained, and that is in keeping with the plan for the agency when there is a lack of funds.

According to information posted on the U.S. General Services Administration’s web-site, the GSA provides a minimal level of staffi ng to support federal agency functions that must continue during the lapse period.

“In the absence of appropriations, GSA owned and leased buildings will remain open. In many cases, because of the im-pact on the number of personnel managing these buildings, the services will be limited and will be similar to weekend operations.

Maintenance and janitorial services, tele-phone service, lighting, and power will con-tinue so that tenant agencies can continue to provide vital services and perform essen-tial missions.”

The information also states that parking

spaces associated with GSA facilities will remain open. The Federal Protective Ser-vice will also continue to provide building security.

GSA will have limited personnel that will be available to assist federal agencies in

GSA owned and leased buildings to provide support for life safety, property protection, contracting, communications, and IT ser-vices.

The USGS Water Science Center, which is located at the Federal Center, is closed, along with some of their websites.

The USGS website still offers updated maps, deemed “necessary to protect citi-zens and land property” including:

• Ecosystems• Disease Maps• National Wildlife Health Center• Natural Hazards• USGS coastal erosion hazards informa-

tion• USGS earthquake information• USGS emergency operations portal• USGS information on geomagnetic ac-

tivity• USGS landslide information• USGS volcano information• WaterNREL is still open with staff working as

usual but if the government shutdown con-tinues, they will have to close. “We hope that it won’t go that long,” George Douglas, spokesperson for NREL said. “We can con-tinue to operate for a month or more the way we are now,” he said.

Reathman receives 48 years for wife’s murder By Amy Woodward awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com

David Wayne Reathman, 65 of Golden, was given a 48-year sentence on Oct. 2 for the murder of his wife, Barbara Reathman, 70. Reathman pleaded guilty to a second-degree murder charge attached with 48-year sentence based on an agreement that was reached earlier this year.

On March 25, 2013 Reathman strangled his wife while she slept, and later tried to kill himself as part of a murder-suicide at-tempt he had planned for weeks, accord-

ing to a Golden city police report. He admitted to police that he and his wife had fi nancial problems due to a gambling addic-tion which caused them to lose their $3,000 a month pension checks. He told police he planned to mur-der his wife, and then kill himself as a way to escape their fi nancial issues.

The report states Reathman fi rst tried to commit suicide by taping a plastic bag over

his head, but when the attempt failed, he later walked up trails to a mountain where he slept for three nights, hoping to freeze to death. He eventually walked back down the mountain along the Clear Creek path to the Golden police department, where he sat on a bench outside for three hours be-fore entering the police station and turning himself in.

Reathman and his wife were married for 37 years.

Barbara Reathman’s family attended the sentencing. “I have a hole in my heart that will never mend,” Julie Campbell, Bar-bara’s Reathman’s daughter said during her statement to the judge. “She was wonder-ful.” Campbell was dressed in Bronco’s fan gear in memory of her mother who was a dedicated Broncos fan. “She would be very proud on how they are doing,” Campbell said.

Other than Barbara Reathman’s family, no direct family showed for David Reath-man. His two sisters wrote a letter which was read by attorneys during the sentenc-ing hearing describing the former correc-tions offi cer as kind and loving. “Wayne was always such a quiet, calm person,” Debbie Schinski, youngest sister of David Reathman wrote.

“I’m sorry to everybody,” David Reath-man said. “It’s been 191 days and I miss her too,” Reathman said while coming to tears.

Tamara Russell, district court judge presiding over the hearing said she has not come across a case like this before. “Sometimes people live good and honor-able lives, and then they make decisions you can’t comprehend,” Judge Russell said. “I will never, never, never understand the motive behind the senseless death of Bar-bara Reathman.”

State enforces licensing for naturopathic docsHouse bill now regulates holistic medicineBy Amy Woodwardawoooward@ourcoloradonews.com

Colorado is going through changes as the health-care market opens up with promises of low-cost health insurance.

But there are also newly regulated forms of perhaps lesser known medical practices that were put in place earlier this year. In June, Colorado state legislature enacted HB 13-1111 which now regulates naturopathy, an alternative form of medi-cine that still connects with conventional medicine, but focuses more on environ-mental and psychological factors that may

attribute to symptoms felt by the patient. Typically, certain illnesses are treated with supplements and changes in diet.

Colorado is now among 18 states in the U.S. and its territories in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands that have licensing laws.

The bill requires doctors practicing na-turopathy to register for a license on or after Jan. 1, 2014. Physicians must have a bachelor’s degree, and in addition, a four-year degree from a naturopathic medical school registered with the U.S. Depart-ment of Education. They must also pass a naturopathic licensing examination. The board of naturopathic medicine located in the department of regulatory agencies will be designated to regulate naturopathic doctors and adopting rules.

The U.S. Senate passed resolution

221 which designates the week of Oct. 7 through 13 as “Naturopathic Medicine Week” in which the Senate “recognizes the value of naturopathic medicine in provid-ing safe, effective, and affordable health care,” and encourages citizens to learn more about naturopathy.

Dr. Kaycie Rosen Grigel, ND in Golden has been seeing patients for seven years in Colorado, after practicing for three years in Alaska. In light of regulation for her profes-sion, she wants to help raise awareness this week about the benefits of naturopathy.

“How we live in the world affects how our bodies manifest symptoms,” Dr. Grigel said. “It’s really important to me to have a relationship with my patients where I understand the whole context of their health.”

Grigel has 500 patients under her prac-tice who have various illnesses and ail-ments such as arthritis, head and neck pain, diabetes, and digestive problems.

With regulation, Dr. Grigel predicts a possible shift in coverage in which insur-ance companies may extend their cover-age to naturopathic medicine.

“In the past, I’ve spoken with different companies about being on their networks, but the tough thing in Colorado is there is no way to regulate the providers that were asking out to their networks,” she said. “So now there is.”

State’s racial gaps narrow in educationEconomic disparities stay unchanged over two yearsBy Burt HubbardI-News at Rocky Mountain PBS

Black and Latino adults in Colorado narrowed some of the wide education gaps with their white counterparts last year, according to an I-News analysis of new U.S. Census Bureau data.

Colorado no longer has the largest gaps in the nation in college graduation rates between black and white resi-dents, and both Latino and black adults saw high school graduation gaps narrow to their lowest levels in decades.

“That’s good news all the way around,” said Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia, who also is executive director of the Colorado Higher Education Department. “It’s the result of more fo-

cus and more collaboration between K-12 and higher edu-cation.”

However, income, poverty and homeownership dis-parities between whites and the state’s largest minor-

ity groups remained unchanged between 2010 and 2012, the analysis found.

An I-News investigation published ear-lier this year of six decades of Census data found that minority gains made in key economic and education areas had erod-ed over time. In many cases, the disparities between Latinos, blacks and whites were wider in 2010 than they were in the 1960s and 1970s.

The latest Census data from the 2012 American Community Survey of states and their largest cities and counties found across-the-board increases in minority high school and college graduation rates since 2010.

The percent of black adults 25 years of age and older with college degrees rose from about 20 percent to 24 percent dur-ing the two years.

That narrowed the gap with their white counterparts to less than 20 percentage points, compared to 23 percentage points in 2010. White college graduation rates inched up less than 1 percentage point to 43 percent in 2012.

As a result, Colorado no longer has the largest gaps in the U.S. between white and black adults. It now ranks third behind Connecticut and Massachusetts, the I-News analy-sis found.

Sharon Bailey, a former Denver Public Schools board member and a member of the Colorado Black Round Ta-ble, said the state’s attention to education disparities may be starting to pay off.

“I do think there has been a bigger spotlight put on graduation rates and remediation,” Bailey said.

The round table is holding a community forum at Man-

ual High School in Denver Sept. 28 on minority education and economic gaps.

The college graduation gap between Latino and white Colorado adults remained unchanged in the new report, exceeding 30 percentage points, and was still the largest in the U.S.

Both Latino and black adults continued to narrow the gaps in high school graduation rates.

Black rates rose from 86 percent to 89 percent and La-tino rates rose from 65 percent to 68 percent between 2010 and 2012, while white rates stayed at about 96 percent.

Both gaps are the smallest since 1960.However, Garcia said most new jobs in the state in the

coming years will require more than a high school degree.“A high school degree just isn’t going to cut it,” he said.

“When we look at Colorado’s economy, we know that some 70 percent of the jobs that will be created in the next 10 years will require some post-secondary credentials.”

Both Garcia and Bailey said the state needs to step up its efforts on educational attainment.

Bailey said Colorado needs to look at factors behind minority successes and replicate them.

Garcia said the state should work on eliminating barri-ers to minorities completing college, such as the high rate of remedial classwork, while expanding programs such as concurrent enrollment, which allows students to take col-lege class while still in high school.

“We have to do a better job if we want to have a strong economy long term.”

The gaps in economic areas such as family income and homeownership either remained unchanged or widened slightly between 2010 and 2012, the analysis found. Fam-ily income and poverty gaps widened between white and black residents, while homeownership gaps widened be-tween white and Latino households.

A childhood touched by war“Year of the Jungle” by Suzanne Col-

lins 2013, Scholastic $17.99 / $19.99

Canada 40 pagesAll day long, while you’re at

school, you really miss your parents. But that’s okay. You know you’ll see them in a few hours or a few days, and it’ll be fun.

You’ll get hugs and give kisses, make dinner together, and read stories. But some kids, though, they have to wait to see their mom or dad, and it might be a long time. In “Year of the Jungle” by Suzanne Collins, illustrated by James Proimos, you’ll see why.

Suzy, who was the youngest in her family, loved when her dad read poems to her. She particularly liked the ones about a dragon because he was ‘the bravest of all.”

The dragon was special, and so was everybody in Suzy’s family. But Suzy’s daddy had to go away for a while. She knew he was going to a place called Vietnam , and someone said he’d be “in the jungle.”

That reminded her of her favor-ite TV cartoon, which was about a jungle man who swings from a rope. Her dad would be gone for a year. That seemed like a long time. While he was gone, Suzy’s dad sent lots of postcards.

He missed her first day of first grade. He wasn’t there to read the paper to her, or poems. He wasn’t

around for Halloween or Thanksgiv-ing, but he sent a Vietnamese lady doll home for Suzy’s Christmas present. Suzy tried hard not to worry, even though grown-ups acted weird when they found out where her father was.

She tried not to think about her dad in the jungle, until she got a birthday card from him and it was nowhere near her birthday.

It was hard not to think about him after she saw a TV news report with ex-plosions and hurt soldiers.

That made her cry.It was a long year, but then her

dad came home – just that quick! He wasn’t quite the Daddy that Suzy remembered.

He looked tired, he was awfully thin, and sometimes, he looked like he was thinking about the jungle.

He came home with gifts, but the best gift of all was having him home. I really liked this book, but I strug-gled to determine its audience. ”Year of the Jungle” will be way bet-ter understood by grandparents than

by children: author Suzanne Collins’ tale, for instance, touches upon pop-culture things that would resonate with people who were kids during the Vietnam War.

Yes, today’s children know all about war and parents going away to fight one, but will they understand this sto-ry?

I think so.Collins based her book on her

own childhood recollections, and her memories of loss, worry, and confu-sion are wisely innocent and timeless without being too scary.

Illustrations by James Proimos help maintain that lack of frightfulness. Overall, this is a grown-up-kids book that I think may actually be comfort-ing to children whose parents are in the military because it assures them that “most people come back.”

And for that, “Year of the Jungle” is one that neither of you should miss.

Women inspire girls to pursue their dreams Girl Scouts of Colorado, School of Mines partner for STEM education By Amy Woodward awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com

Nearly 186 girl scouts gathered at Colora-do School of Mines to embark on an educa-tional journey into the world of science dur-ing “Girl Scout Engineering Day” on Oct. 5.

For 20 years, Girl Scouts of Colorado in collaboration with the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), a nonprofi t educational collegiate organization, have strived to ex-pose girls of all ages to the awesome power of math and science. Their intent is to in-spire at least a few young minds to consider the fi eld of engineering as a career choice by allowing them to do experiments and work hands-on with basic math and engineering concepts.

“More than anything I think it’s impor-tant for them to know that they are capable of doing something more than the tradi-tional careers that women normally do,” Tori Billings, SWE section president for CSM said. “A lot of it is just to encourage them to pursue their dreams.”

Confi dence is needed for young girls and women interested in pursuing a career in STEM related fi elds, and according to the Girl Scout Research Institute, teen girls are not blind to gender barriers, with 57 percent of girls agreeing they would “have to work harder than a man to be taken seriously,” in STEM careers.

Further, 60 percent of girls interested in science and math said they know more about other careers than they do about math and science careers.

Nine activities were set up to touch on various aspects of STEM including civil engineering, bio chemistry, and electrical engineering. “Glow Stick Fun” explored bio-

luminescence, chemical reactions and en-ergy, and “Water Cleanup” taught girls how to fi lter dirty water into clean water.

“It’s really fun because we’re learning about other jobs that we can get when we grow up and we’re experimenting with a ton of things,” Mia Jordan, 9 said. “My favorite

subjects are math and science,” she said.Present at the event was a SWE volunteer

who was once a girl scout, and who once at-tended the same event she now participates in.

“I joined SWE because of this event, it’s what got me into this school in the fi rst

place,” Alyssa Rozendaal, freshman at Mines said. “I was a Girl Scout for 13 years and now I am a lifetime member because it was so important to me, it taught me how to be an independent girl and it made me feel like I didn’t have to be afraid to be smart or into math and science.”

8 The Transcript October 10, 2013

A week to tout value of newspapers Where was it that you heard about the

so-called demise of the newspaper?Probably, you read about it in your

daily newspaper; because, as Mark Twain, a journalist himself, was able to write to a friend: “The report of my death was an ex-aggeration.” And a good newspaper will go on to explain the source of the rumor, and if false, will present the facts that debunk it.

Well into the 21st century, Ameri-can newspapers are as relevant as ever, because like other vital segments of their community, they are always at work and always looking to reinvent themselves.

We’ve seen this in high-profi le deals such as Jeff Bezos’ acquisition of The Washington Post; but we’ve also seen dra-matic changes nationally at newspapers large and small, as their news, advertis-ing, marketing and circulation staffs have embraced a variety of digital and social media platforms to reach new and existing readers, while continuing to present the news in the traditional print format.

But the modes of communication are not the most important change: That is in the way that the newspaper has greatly expanded its role as watchdog for the com-munity.

Trust in our public institutions is on a steady decline, and sturdy journalism is going to be the only reliable way for aver-age Americans to glean the truth from a

stream of confl icting information dissemi-nated by political partisans and vested interests.

In the past year, newspapers were the leading source of information on these stories of vital importance in their commu-nities and nationwide:

• The Denver Post conveyed news via text, social media and video of a gunman, who killed 12 moviegoers in Aurora, while the tragic events still were occurring.

• The Tennessean in Nashville called attention to Tennessee’s Department of Children’s Services’ inability to account for the deaths or near-deaths over a three-year period of approximately 200 children who were in custody or whose welfare was being monitored by the state. The reports led to the department head’s resignation and a restructure of the department.

• An investigation by The Sun Sentinel of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., uncovered wide-spread cases of off-duty police offi cers’ reckless driving.

In each case, the newspaper looked its role as a voice for the entire community it

serves.Despite all the obituaries being writ-ten about newspapers, we look at these examples and many more and fi nd that newspapers are amazingly spry and alert — and always at work.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Learn to ride the waves How many of you remember the Bron-

cos two Super Bowls? Do you remember how they won those two games? John Elway, plus a dominating running game.

My, how times have changed. This year, as Peyton Manning is so adeptly highlighting, a good running game is almost an afterthought to a winning NFL team. Still, a few teams and coaches cling to their power games — old habits die hard. Which is another way of saying that paradigms are diffi cult things to change. And often, the recognition of a changed paradigm comes only on the other side of a painful experience (enter the New York Giants).

About 48 percent of us received just such a lesson 11 months ago. The presi-dential campaign of Mitt Romney fi rmly believed that they were going to win the election, or, at the very least, that they were going to have a very interesting night. They thought that way because that’s what their polling told them. Unfor-tunately for them, the “science” of polling involves a little bit of art: the pollster manipulates the raw numbers based on what he or she believes the overall elec-torate is going to look like on election day. They make conclusions by straining data through a fi lter of their own (educated) assumptions. The Romney pollster and the Obama pollster probably got similar raw numbers, but the assumptions of the Obama campaign, it turns out, were more in tune with the changed electorate than the assumptions of the Romney pollster.

Mitt Romney got slapped upside the head by a shifting paradigm. Actually, several paradigms, but that’s a topic for another day.

The ability to function successfully in the world, it would seem, is deeply tied to one’s ability to foresee and manage shifting paradigms. For example, public schools are just now coming to grips with the idea that students have hundreds of sources of information at their fi ngertips, and the schools are not even in the top ten. So, when a school like Oberon Middle begins encouraging their students to

bring and use their networking devices for schoolwork, it is a foresighted refl ec-tion of an understanding of the shifting paradigm, and an attempt to manage and use it.

The pastor at my church has lately been pointing out that every bit of re-search points to a massive cultural shift in America that says people, in general, no longer look to churches and the clergy for understanding of truth. Whereas, fi fty years ago, discussions of morals and right and wrong were founded in the teach-ings of religion, today, the sources of right and wrong are as broad as Hollywood or as isolated as Twitter. In other words, the new paradigm is that institutions are no longer trusted sources of morality, and, as Pastor John says, for the Church to thrive, it’s going to need to start thinking of itself as missionaries in its own country.

Paradigm shifts are strange things, but they seem to be piling up in this fast-changing world. So I would leave you with this thought: per capita, more mil-lionaires made their fortunes during the Great Depression than at any other time in American history. Why?

Do you want to go to Mars? A Dutch organization, Mars One, has announced plans to establish a human settlement

on Mars by 2023 and has received thousands of applications, even though it might be a one-way trip. Colorado Community Media asked visitors to the Outlets at Castle Rock if they would be interested in going.

“Probably. It’s something di� erent. I’m a futuristic thinker … (But if it were a one-way trip) “it would depend on if they have a beach or a lake and if I could convince my family to go.”

— Chase McCall, Castle Rock

“Yes. ... The Earth is getting overpopulated. It’s getting too polluted. I totally know my friends would go with me. They totally agree.”

— Lauren M., Parker

“No. I’m a picky eater. I don’t think I could eat astronaut food. And I like to be outdoors.”

— Brittany Dunn, Centennial

“No. ... We’re outdoors people. I don’t know how you could be ‘outdoorsy’ there. I like all four seasons. And it’s a really big risk.”

— Brian Bergeman, Aurora

OBITUARIES

Elmer J. Reece, 96, passed away from natural causes on Monday, September 9, at Denver Hospice.

Elmer was born August 5, 1917 on the family farm in Byers, Colo-rado, to the late John Reece and May H. Reece.

He is survived by his wife of 66 yrs., Doris I. Reece, one daughter, Janice Teter married to Barry Teter of Arvada. He has two grandsons, Jason Teter (married to Heidi) of Cumming, GA and Christopher Teter of Los Angeles, CA. He is also survived by two great-grandchildren, RJ and Tessa Teter, and known fondly by them as Popeye.

Elmer was a US Navy veteran and survivor of Pearl Harbor. He was a Chief Petty Officer and radio operator on the USS De-troit which was moored in Pearl Harbor on the day of the attack.

He was a member of the Pearl Harbor Survivor’s organization for many years.

He was the happiest on a ship and sailed with his wife on over twenty cruises during retirement.

Elmer worked at Coors Brew-ery for 36 years as a pipefitter and mechanic.

He enjoyed 31 years of retire-ment, was an active member of the Elk’s Club, enjoyed reading, dancing, swimming, and travel-ing.

He always had a glimmer in his eyes and was many times up to some kind of mischief. His attitude about life served him well and allowed for his long and productive life.

He was laid to rest at Ft. Logan National Cemetery. Contribu-tions can be made to the Denver Hospice or the Wounded Warrior Project in his name.

Concert represents a powerful combination of pieces Sometimes my imagination starts to

get the better of me and I get some pretty wild ideas. As an example, what would it be like if all the great musical composers were still alive and someone was putting a concert together? I can see the poster now — Tchaikovsky, Beethoven and Ravel to-gether live in concert with full symphony orchestra. One performance only. Tickets available online.

That would be pretty exciting, wouldn’t it? Three powerhouse’s together on one bill, but that’s only my imagination run-ning amok, right? Well, not really. It’s an actual concert, it’s happening right here in Golden and our own Jefferson Symphony Orchestra will be presenting it as their season opener on Sunday, Oct. 20 at the Green Center on the Colorado School of Mines campus. Showtime is 3 p.m.

Although these composers have passed on, their music will always remain some of the greatest ever written, and this concert will feature some very moving examples of their work.

The concert will open with the Beethoven segment that will feature the

Overture to Egmont. This is from a series of nine pieces of music written for the play of the same name by Johann Wolf-gang von Goethe about a Dutch noble-man, the Count of Egmont and his heroic adventures. This piece of music has an interesting history as it was written during the Napoleonic wars as sort of a protest against what Beethoven perceived as Na-poleon’s oppressive domination over most of Europe at the time. This piece of music later became the unoffi cial anthem of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. It’s a pretty dramatic way to set the stage for the rest of the concert.

Sheherazade is one of the best known

pieces of classical music, but what some people may not realize is that there is both a Rimsky-Korsakov version as well as one by Ravel. The latter features a female vocal and that is the version to be presented in this concert. Guest artist Marcia Ragon-etti, Mezzo Soprano, will do the honor of presenting this musical story of a Persian enchantress from the tale “1,001 Nights” and it is an exotic musical experience to say the least.

Tchaikovsky’s Symphony no.5 will cap off the performance with a piece of music that received one of the most bizarre critiques on it’s 1892 American premier in the Boston Evening Transcript that I have ever read. Amongst other things the reviewer wrote “ In the Finale we have all the untamed fury of the Cossack, whet-ting itself for deeds of atrocity, against all the sterility of the Russian steppes. The furious peroration sounds like nothing so much as a horde of demons struggling in a torrent of brandy, the music grow-ing drunker and drunker. Pandemonium, delirium tremens, raving, and above all, noise worse confounded!”

I guess in 1892 that meant he didn’t like it very much, but a review like that nowadays would probably mean people would be lining up down the block to get tickets. OK, be honest, now you want to go and hear it for yourself, right?

Well, you don’t have to stand in line to get tickets, you can order them on the Jefferson Symphony website, www.jeffer-sonsymphonyorchestra.org. and the prices are Adults $22, Seniors (62+) $17, Students (11-21) $10, Children (10 & under) $5 with group rates available for 10 or more. You can also get season tickets there.

The Jefferson Symphony Orchestra is celebrating it’s 61st season and is one of the outstanding community orchestras around. Treat yourself and your family to an afternoon of great music by attending this season’s opener.

John Akal is a well-known jazz artist/drummer and leader of the 20-piece Ultra-phonic Jazz Orchestra. He also is presi-dent of John Akal Imaging, professional commercial photography and multimedia production.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR League supports DDA

In early 2014 the Golden Urban Renewal Authority will “sunset” by law. GURA has done a lot over the past 25 years helping to re-vitalize the downtown area and create an energetic and healthy business com-munity.

During this election period in Novem-ber, voters in the downtown area and im-mediate surrounding neighborhoods will have an opportunity to vote on creating a replacement entity to be named the Down-town Development Authority (DDA).

This DDA would continue with selected programs to keep downtown Golden and those surrounding neighborhoods healthy and vibrant.

Funding for the DDA will come from tax increments to be paid by residents and businesses in the area covered by the proposed DDA. Only those residents and business owners within the boundary of the DDA are eligible to vote on this issue. Those who are eligible will be asked to vote on four questions. Each question on fi -nancing provides the DDA with a means of funding. The amount and type of funding approved by voters will determine the level of expenditures that the DDA can make for improvements.

There is some concern about how funds may be used and the types of projects to be supported if the DDA and some, or all, of the fi nancing mechanisms are voted into existence.

We would like to point out that the DDA will have a Board of Directors, separate from City Council that will publicize proposals, furnish information, and make decisions following public meetings. To en-sure that citizens of the affected area have input, we encourage participation through the open meetings and discussions when expenditures and major projects are con-sidered.

The Golden Good Government League (GGGL) supports creating the DDA and approving each fi nancing question. We believe the DDA will produce a return on investment worthy of its creation.

Casey BrownChairman of GGGL Board of Trustees

Hidden cost of DDAYou missed an important issue in the

creation of a DDA in downtown Golden – the funding. In the Sept. 26th article, you mention only the 5 mill property tax levy, but you fail to mention two important funding components:

· Tax Increment Financing, or TIF· Sales taxes from the City of Golden: 50

percent of eligible general fund sales tax increment (1 cent).

The 800-pound gorilla is the TIF. Here’s how it works: For the life of the DDA (25 to 50 years), all future property taxes in excess of the amount assessed at the creation of the DDA (the tax incre-ment) would go to the DDA rather than to the actual taxing authority. That means schools, library, roads, the sheriff, and oth-ers would lose all incremental tax revenue within the DDA from increased assessed values due to economic recovery and infl ation.

TIF was created for the purpose of funding the redevelopment of so-called “blighted” areas. The State of Colorado says: TIF districts are exclusively autho-rized for projects that improve blighted areas.

GURA was fi nanced by TIF. But even the DDA’s online presentation recognizes we don’t have blight: “Urban renewal is based on preventing and remediating “blight.” Not much blight left, so we can’t “re-up” (GURA) even if we had more time.”

So the TIF is being used for a purpose that was not intended. 25 to 50 years is a long time. GURA’s TIF revenue now represents almost 1.5 million dollars a year – that’s money taken directly out of services that you and I depend on. GURA’s TIF will now go away and the DDA TIF will start over. How high the DDA’s TIF grows will depend on infl ation — 25 to 50 years of it. So we will suffer degraded school, city and county services that eventually will require future tax increases – not just in the district, but for all of us. Yet we don’t get to vote on it.

I’d vote no.Tom Atkins

Golden

In-between is really middle of nowhere Some of you may remember the Gerry

Rafferty song, “Stuck in the Middle,” and then again, since it was written and fi rst performed in 1972 by Stealers Wheel, maybe there are more of you who don’t have a clue about what I am referring to.

That’s OK. The point is this: Are you stuck in the middle?

Are you in the middle of a project, the middle of a decision, the middle of a quar-rel, or just stuck in the middle of anything?

You see, it’s the middle that gets us. It’s not the “yeses” or the “noes” that derail us, it is the “maybes” that bring us the greatest frustration. It’s when we get paralyzed by in-decision or suffer paralysis by analysis as we overthink each and every single thing we do.

You know what I mean, right? It’s that in-between stuff that really muddles the middle. Those “tweener” situations where

we do not know if we are in or out, or on which side, or whose side we will fall. The real questions are why and how we fi nd our-selves in this position.

Is it because we are over-accommodat-ing and work so hard at pleasing everyone that we fi nd ourselves in the middle so that we do not offend anyone? And you know what happens when we are in a relation-

ship, friendship, or partnership and both people strive to accommodate the other person, it’s like ending up in a reverse arm wrestling match. Instead of strenuously try-ing to “push” our opponent’s hand to the table, both sides try and let the other person win and end up in an extreme game of tug of war as we “pull” our own hands toward our side of the table.

What are we afraid of? Are we fearful that we may make the wrong decision? Here’s the deal, we can make and will make a mil-lion wrong decisions in our life. But there is nothing we can ever do, within reason, that will torpedo our lives or our relationships or any business venture that we are pursu-ing that cannot be overcome as long as our decisions are in alignment with our values. And as Roy Disney said, “It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your

values are.”It’s when we don’t put our stake in the

ground and waffl e about everything we need to do that places us in a perpetual state of limbo and unable to move forward. And we usually choose not to take a stand or make a decision because we are operating out of a mode of fear or scarcity rather than a mode of growth or abundance.

What are you waiting for? What’s the big or even little decision that is holding you back? I would love to hear all about it at go-tonorton@gmail.com and when we resolve to leave the “tweener” in us behind, it really will be a better than good week.

QUESTIONS

1) Please use three words to describe your leadership style.

2) Describe the skills that make you the best candidate for the job

3) The “Western Beltway” is an important development for Golden and its residents. How do you plan to

work with county offi cials during the planning phase and as the project progresses?

4) What are your thoughts on the potential formation of the Downtown Development Authority?

5) With four years left to meet a 50-percent renewable energy goal by 2017, how do you think the city should ap-proach meeting this goal?

Eric Scarbro and Laura Weinberg are running for a pos-sible fi rst term as a Ward 4 city council member. Ward 1,2, and 3 seats are uncontested this year. Terms are for four years, and members are eligible for a second term.

Eric Scarbro Background: Raising two children with

wife Sharon, and lived in Golden for 22 years.

Holds a master’s in economics, and was employed at the Colorado School of Mines for 20 years as the Financial Systems Manager. I have served on the City of Golden’s Citizens Budget Advisory Commit-tee for 10 years, was a Girl Scout troop leader for six years, and participated in other volunteer work.

Contact: Email ericg@scarbro.com; website eric-4golden.com

1) fl exible, honest, cooperative2) I am very familiar with the city’s fi nanc-

es and operations after my 10 years of ser-vice on the Citizens Budget Advisory Com-mittee. I have fought for and am committed to keeping the historic character and peace-ful, small town feel we all love about Golden.

3) We will not compromise our quality of life or the connections between our neigh-borhoods. County offi cials should be en-couraged to consider the welfare of people in Golden. Expanding county council to fi ve members will improve accountability and create more fl exibility in talks. Golden has made a good faith effort to compromise, let’s hope the county will too.

4) The Golden Urban Renewal Authority has revitalized downtown. The DDA takes us the next step in support of our vibrant busi-nesses. None of us wants to lose our favorite restaurants, stores and other friendly services because they are our friends and neighbors.

5) The city should not spend money pur-chasing its own electrical generation equip-ment. Private enterprise can provide renew-able energy cheaper and more effi ciently. Renewable energy can be purchased now from Windsource. Conservation through LEED standards for buildings is one of the best ways to meet our sustainability goals.

Scarbro

City council candidates, Ward 4

Laura Weinberg Background: Golden resident since

2007 with my husband, Mike, and two daughters, ages 6 and 8. I’m an active member of the Parks and Recreation Ad-visory Board, Mitchell El-ementary PTA and Canyon Point HOA Board. I hold a bachelor’s degree from Brown University and an MBA from University of Denver.

Contact: Website www.LauraForGolden.com; email laura@laurafor-golden.com; phone 303-241-9823.

1) Strategic, collaborative, honest.2) I have had a successful career lead-

ing teams, managing change, identifying risk and collaborating across groups. My experience, dedication to service and com-mitment to our city make me the best can-didate.

3) I will encourage all Golden residents to participate in the survey portion of the planning phase to make sure our voices are heard; hold the county and state to the specifi cs of the Golden plan; and ensure Golden is a leader in all Western Beltway discussions, not just those within Golden borders. Golden needs to continue to part-ner with neighboring cities to push for im-provements to key interior roadways inde-pendent of any Beltway conversations.

4) A vibrant downtown is a benefi t to all Golden residents and businesses and will need continued reinvestment to maintain what we love and new investment to rede-velop east Downtown. A DDA can provide the dedicated funding and vision for the downtown area.

5) The Technical Advisory Commit-tee commended our strategy and recom-mended retaining the goal and extending the timeframe. I would support the exten-sion and continue to provide the resources to the Community Sustainability Advisory Board to pursue the efforts they have be-gun towards meeting the goal.

Weinberg

Theater offers stray of hope

Several years ago Mr. On The Town — the No. 1 dog lover in our house — and I attended the play “Sylvia” at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.

The A.R. Gurney play is about an empty-nest couple who take in a stray dog. I won’t give away the end-ing but this comedy will tug at your heartstrings. I guarantee you’ll love this play!

“Sylvia” plays Nov. 7-17 at the LTAC. Tickets are available at www.LoneTreeArtsCenter.org or by calling 720-509-1000.

Kim Staunton, a winner of a Denver Post Ovation Award, Henry Award, and Westword’s Best of Den-ver among her many local theater performances, stars as Kate. Two Tony Award nominees, director Ran-dal Myler and Jonathan C. Kaplan (as Greg), also are part of the cast and crew.

Denver favorites Jamie Ann Romero (Sylvia) and Randy Moore (Tom, Phyllis and Leslie) round out a stellar cast.

Boys and Girls Club opensThe opening of the new Nancy P.

Anschutz Center Boys and Girls Club on Tuesday, Oct. 1 was a celebration, despite a horrific shooting just 11 days earlier that left club advocate Terrance Roberts accused of attempt-ed murder.

Boldfaced names like Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, Phil and Nancy Anschutz, John and Paige Elway and Jack A. Vickers celebrated the opening of the new center at the Jack A. Vickers Boys & Girls Club.

Denver politicos and movers and shakers joined the celebration of a new Park Hill community center that replaced a shopping area torched by a gang in 2008.

Boys and Girls Club President and CEO John Aragoni held the senti-ments of many in attendance when he said: “The community here had gone through its ups and downs. But we want to recognize its past with an eye on its future.”

`Girl’ power for CRASonia Riggs, formerly the execu-

tive director of the American Institute of Architects Colorado, is the heir apparent to eventually take over Pete Meersman’s chief cheese job with the Colorado Restaurant Association as Meersman prepares for his departure.

CRA chairman of the board Rich Yoke appointed a search committee to advertise, screen, interview and se-lect someone to serve as the new CRA chief operating officer, a position that will transition into the president and chief executive officer when Meers-man, who has led the CRA for 30-plus years, leaves the association Nov. 1, 2014.

As of that date, Meersman will become the CRA’s chief strategy officer by serving on various affili-ated boards and working on special projects until November 2019.

Two exhibits at Arvada Center examine changes in forms, methodsBy Clarke Readercreader@ourcoloradonews.com

Old traditions and new technologies come together in the fall gallery exhibitions at the Arvada Center.

“Earth Moves: Shifts in Ceramic Art and Design” takes a look at the changing world of ceramics, and how

fine arts, industry and design are blending into that world. The show is on display in the Main Gallery.

“Continuing Legacies: Evolving Ceramic Traditions” examines some of the oldest forms of ceramics, and brings artists who have been working in the form for generations to the fore. The show is on display in the Upper Gallery.

Both shows will be on display at the center’s galleries, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through

Nov. 10. The galleries are open Monday through Fri-day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.,

Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 1-5

p.m.“I think they’re really

interesting shows — there are so many different things

in both of them,” said curatorial assistant Kristin Bueb. “A lot of

what’s on display is so much dif-ferent from what people are used

to, and shows how people can push the boundaries.”

The shows were put together by the center’s ceramic coordinator Bebe Alexander, who said they were

extremely challenging because of the nature of the works.“With Earth Moves, the shifts in technology and design were

the focus, and we wanted to display artists who are using new tools,” she said.

The call for artists was put out in March, and jurors whittled the submissions down to eight invited artists and 42 juried artists from all over the country.

Many of these artists are using computer-aided design and 3-D printing and renderings to add new di-mensions to their work.

Some particularly striking installations on display include a “Glyph” series from David Kaufmann, who created porcelain models of iPads and uses the finger swipes from the screen to create modern hieroglyphics.

There is also a a recreation of a Synap-tic Lab by Donna Webb, that has maps, lab equipment and bottles and vials, which sug-gests the mixing of science and art in ground-water landscape.

Alexander said the “Continuing Legacies” exhibit serves as a nice counterpoint to the main gallery, showing ancient forms of pot-tery and ceramics that have been practiced for generations.

“We have Takashi Nakazato, 13th genera-tion Japanese potter,” she said. “Also on dis-play are the works of Kazu Oba, who studied with Nakazato and is on staff at the Center.”

The pottery of Adam Field, studied under seventh generation Korean potter, Kim ll-Maan, was the germ of the exhibit idea, Al-exander said.

He studied the Korean art of onggi pottery, and part of the exhibit is a video of how Field creates the massive pots.

Other participating artists include Trevor Dunn, Simon Leach, Ben Owen III and Michael Wisner.

“Sonia will offi cially begin work at CRA on Nov. 20,” Meersman said in a mass email. “She will be at CRA building on oc-casion before then for other meetings.

“Sonia’s professional references raved about her when I talked to them. (All four AIA references not only praised her, but they asked me not to hire her because they wanted her to stay there.) I spent a morning last talking with Sonia in person. She has a great personality and sense of humor. She will fi t in well with our very talented staff.”

The CRA serves restaurants through-out the metro area and the entire state of Colorado.

`Orange’ you glad for a deal?Denver hotel The Curtis-a Doubletree

by Hilton has an “orange crush” on the Denver Broncos.

Here’s the “Booking Broncos” break-down:

Rates start at $129 per night when you book your football stay at the Curtis on Oct. 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Oct. 26 or 27 vs. the Washington Redskins (and former Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan) or Nov. 16 or 17 vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.

And the rest of the story ... say “Play it again, Peyton” and earn a second visit to the Curtis for $83 per night — in honor of Welker — plus $18 valet parking with homage to Manning on Dec. 7 or 8 vs. the Tennessee Titans or on Dec. 12 against the San Diego Chargers.

To take advantage of the Curtis Orange Crush offer, call Scott at 720-889-4747. For more information on the Curtis, go to www.thecurtis.com or call 800-525-6651.

Community gift aids equestrian communityBy Crystal Andersoncanderson@ourcoloradonews.com

When the rains struck, it caused houses to flood, roads to wash out and left many temporarily homeless, including a large part of Arvada’s equestrian community.

September’s storms threatened a large part of Arvada’s equestrian community, including the horses boarding at JK Ranch, who had to immediately relocated to safer ground. For the JK Ranch horses and doz-ens of others, that safe ground, along with a strong roof and dry stalls, came in the form of Arvada’s new equestrian arena.

“Just being here calmed everyone, the horses and their owners; everyone was happy,” said Arvada’s Manager of Parks, Michael McDonnell.

Arvada’s Indoor Equestrian Center was donated in summer of 2012 by Sydney Keith as a gift to the community. It’s the largest single donation the Arvada park system has ever received.

Although the arena wasn’t open for use, with the approval of the Arvada Parks, Golf and Hospitality Director Gordon Reusink, it swiftly became an unexpected shelter and temporary home for those horses that were displaced by flooding.

“It was dark, foggy and raining,” Reusink said. “So they led the horses, one at a time, through the rain to get them here.”

A total of 53 horses were housed at the arena for about a week and a half. Every stall was occupied, and some had to be doubled up.

“That night, we were here and they (the horses) were really talking they were happy to be here,” McDonnell said. “Timing is ev-erything and it worked out really well.”

Prior to the flooding, the Arvada Indoor Equestrian Arena building and property had been undergoing necessary repairs to be readied for use.

The grounds surrounding the arena, which span 7.5 acres, include four struc-tures, a groundskeeper house; two outdoor barns and the main building, the indoor arena. A large arena encompasses the ma-jority of the building, which can be used for training, exercise and shows. Along both sides of the arena are two halls with 33 horse stalls and three tack rooms to house equipment.

The arena remains closed to the public, and while there hasn’t been a final decision regarding the use of the arena, the Arvada Parks and Recreation department’s value input from the community and welcome any ideas, comments or questions regard-ing the arena and its future use.

Arvada’s irrigation crew supervisor, Wayne Wyatt, who helped at the arena throughout the floods, was grateful to have the space available at this crucial time.

Throughout September’s floods, 53 horses were kept safe and warm in the stalls of the Arvada Indoor Equestrian Arena. Photo courtesy of the city of Arvada

Besides the more practical rewards, your Lion’s heart will be warmed by the admiration of your colleagues.VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Set aside time to rid yourself of clutter that might well be drawing down your creative energies.

Don’t go ahead with anything you have doubts about.PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) There could be some fallout from an emotional confrontation that you really should deal with before moving on.

What to do if you’re the ‘other’ womanEditor’s Note: Neil Rosenthal is off for

the week. This is from “The Best of Neil Rosenthal.”

Dear Neil: I am an avid reader of your column. I would like for you to address the flip side of infidelity—and discuss the “other” woman. She is not always an evil harlot looking for fun. I can speak from experience, since I have been on both sides. I was married and cheated on, and presently I am madly in love with a mar-ried man.

We have been friends and lovers for three years. My time with this man is so awesome and so very special. I know that what we are doing is wrong—and that someday, someone will get hurt. But how can I give up my best friend and the best thing that has ever happened in my life? Every moment and phone call is precious. We normally see each other at least three times a week and he calls four plus times a day. He swears the loves me, tells me I am the best thing that has every happened to him, there is nothing between them, etc. You may be asking: “Why doesn’t he leave his wife then?” When I broach this topic, he answers that he can’t afford the settle-ment, and that she will destroy him.

So please do not always criticize the “other” woman. We are not necessar-

ily sluts or anything of the sort. We are women who have emotions, families, jobs. There is a difference in doing this for thrills or doing this because one is in love. There are very strong emotional reasons that keep me tied to him. I also truly believe that he loves me.

Could you offer advice as to what I should do and what you think about this? I have considered contacting his wife because I am willing to go to battle for him. Should I give it up, continue to hope that he will eventually leave her, or fight for him?

In Love With a Married Man in DenverDear In Love: There are some unan-

swered questions in the choice that you’re considering. Does the man you’re in love with have a history of infidelity or deceit, or is the first time he’s been in this situ-

ation? Could he be deceiving you about his marriage and his feelings about his wife? If he were to leave her and choose you, what makes you so sure he wouldn’t do the same thing to you once you’re his? If he isn’t acting trustworthy to his wife now, what makes you so sure this behavior would change?

I do not buy that the reason he is stay-ing with his wife is because he can’t afford to leave her—that does not sound like an entirely honest answer to me. It is also ex-pensive to stay with her and live a double life as he is doing. He indeed may be afraid of her, but what would you guess her reac-tion will be when she finds out--as she inevitably will--that he is emotionally and sexually involved with another woman? You’ve heard the expression “Hell hath no fury…”

The problem with being in this posi-tion is that you’re always in second place, and he’s never actually yours. My advice to you is to offer this man a choice: suffer the consequences and divorce his wife so he can have you—or lose you and keep his wife. I do not recommend you continue the relationship the way things are, be-cause you’re the one likely to be most hurt in this story, and it does not sound as if he is going to leave his wife voluntarily.

If you confront the wife about your affair with her husband, she is likely to have one of two responses. She will either fight for him with everything she’s got, or she’ll throw him out. But people have been know to get homicidal in such circumstances, so you want to be very, very careful. Also, we cannot reasonably predict what his response would be if you forced his hand and put him in an embar-rassing situation, but this might not work in your favor, and he could reasonably feel betrayed by you.

The best indication of how he feels is about how he behaves. Force him to align his behavior with his words—or get out of this for your own sanity.

And if you do wind up leaving this, find someone available and unencumbered next time. It’s way less messy that way, and an available man just might be able and willing to be yours.

Neil Rosenthal is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Westminster and Boul-der, Colorado. His column is in it’s 21st year of publication, and is syndicated around the world.

Arvada hangs around, Golden big in second halfBulldogs coach likes effort but Demons too much down stretchBy Daniel Williamsdwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com

LAKEWOOD – For 40 minutes Arvada played as well as Golden — who is might be the best team in 4A Jeffco this season.

However, over the game’s final 40 minutes the Demons looked like the one of the best teams in the state, scoring three goals on its way to a 3-0 victory over the Bulldogs Wednesday at Lakewood Memo-rial Field.

After a scoreless first half where Arvada nearly scored on a couple occasions and played strong de-fense against a very potent Golden offense, the De-mons went on a second half scoring binge.

“I thought we played some of the best soccer we have played all season in the first half,” Arvada coach Neil Magor said. “But we couldn’t keep it up in the second half and Golden got hot.”

Junior Philip Katzman, junior Mark Seaholm and senior Jack Breer all scored for the Demons, breaking open what had been a tightly contested game.

In addition, Golden’s junior goaltender Japer Hughes was unbreakable stopping six shots on goal.

“We didn’t really have it going early but we got it together at the half and came out in the second half playing like a different team,” Golden coach Josh

Nolker said.The victory for Golden was a big one as it keeps

them undefeated in league play and also keeps them on pace with Evergreen and Wheat Ridge who are also undefeated in 4A Jeffco league play.

Arvada is still searching for its first league win. The Bulldogs have shown flashes of being as good as any team in their league. However, they have also been inconsistent and had too many defensive mis-takes.

Golden (7-1-2, 3-0) has won four straight games and will try to stay in the race for a league crown when they play D’Evelyn Friday at 4 p.m. at Lake-wood Memorial Field.

Arvada (3-9, 0-4) will play Alameda Tuesday at 6 p.m. at LMF.

Ralston Valley 5A, D’Evelyn 4A to represent Je� co at state tourney Je� co proves again to be a force in county high school tennis By Daniel Williams dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com

ARVADA – Jeffco tennis proved to be a force this season as they pro-duced state qualifi ers from all corners of the county.

Ralston Valley led the way for 5A Jeffco as they qualifi ed four of its teams for the state tournament.

“We have a really good team this year. Our program is on the rise,” Ralston Valley coach Tom Russ said. “We had a lot of new kids come out this year and we have added a lot of depth.”

Qualifying for the state tournament is a feat in itself, let alone making a run in the state tournament.

Many really good tennis players do not make it to state because of a rough region or a tough draw in the regional bracket. But the way these re-gion sets up only the elite high school tennis players in the state qualify for the chance to play in the state tourna-ment.

“Ive had right knee pain for 53 years since 1960. Even though my orthopedist removed a bone spur, I still had lots of pain when I put weight on the knee. The knee was also crooked. After beginning care with Dr. Tashiro 3 months ago, I can now walk without pain and limping, the bones no longer grind and the knee even straightened out! I have a new outlook on life and can still enjoy playing golf with my children.”

“I had knee pain for years before starting care at HealthSource of Lakewood. My MD and orthopeidst recommended knee replacement surgery. But now, just 3 months after beginning care, I no longer have constant knee pain, I can almost squat without pain and I’m hoping to ski again this winter.”

Make fun books full of fall colorsBefore leaves fall from trees and are too

crunchy to collect, make an identification book with young children. Collecting and exercising are good reasons for walks in the woods.

For more science ideas see grandpar-entsteachtoo.org, wnmufm.org “Learning through the Seasons” pod casts and wn-mufm Public Radio 90 live Tuesdays 4:30 and Saturdays at 8:35 am.

Materials:Bag, leaves, white glue, thick paper, and

string

What to Do:A walk is a perfect time to combine

science, reading, and quiet discussion to build vocabulary. Very young children can collect and sort leaves by size and color.

Older children can collect and sort by

type. Explain leaves make food for plants by collecting water from the roots and car-bon dioxide gas from people and animals. With sunshine and a green chemical called chlorophyll leaves make sugar to feed the tree. This is called photosynthesis.

As children collect, explain red and oth-er colors are in leaves all year around, but the green chlorophyll covers them up. In fall there is less daylight so the leaves can-

not make as much food. The leaves start shutting down and dy-

ing. Finally the leaves fall.Teach children the names and charac-

teristics of leaves. How does a maple leaf look different

from an oak or pine? Point out that oak tree seeds are acorns and maple seeds twirl around like helicopters. White pine trees conveniently have five needles or leaves like letters in their name.

Red pines have two needles. Look around for cones and examine seeds tucked inside. Most evergreen trees lose some of their needles and grow new ones.

What Else Can We Do?Pull a leaf out of the collection bag. Can

children find one that matches? Talk about the characteristics.

Put two different leaves together. Chil-

dren can take pictures of leaves with a camera or phone for a short family presen-tation about a walk in the woods.

At home place the leaves under heavy books or place leaves in a magazine with something heavy on top to press for a day.

The next day use a brush to paint the leaves with white glue on both sides and glue them on heavy paper.

Glue the seeds, too. Cones can be glued on a cover.

When dry, print the tree name or have children say a sentence about the leaf. Punch a hole in each page and tie with yarn or gift ribbon. Place tape around the hole to reinforce it.

Esther Macalady is a former teacher, lives in Golden and participates in the Grandpar-ents Teach Too writing group.

Bike accident column generates responseObviously to anyone who drives,

walks, rides horses, or rides a bicycle, Jef-ferson County is a biking haven because there are bicyclists on trails and streets in groups and by themselves.

Now with all the response to my article, I am rethinking whether I should give up biking or not.

For one thing, when the accident hap-pened I was riding at night, which one reader says never to do. So why should I judge all biking risks on my taking the big one of riding at night when I couldn’t judge the situation very well with the on-coming lights? We all have moments of bad judgement, and this was one of mine that had a serious consequence. (My acci-dent and broken humerus near the rotator cuff ).

Here are parts of email messages I re-ceived. I left out the last names since they were personal messages to me.

Angie a reader from Lakewood Sentinel said: “Stay on you bike!!! You go girl, keep moving.”

Byron, a reader of Arvada Press said “I enjoyed your story and wanted to share

it with a fellow cyclist, but need the link.” (Byron, if you can’t find the story I’ll send you an attachment of it.)

Gill, 85 years old, a reader of Golden Transcript gave me a great story about his life. He doesn’t bike, but recommended keeping my body and mind challenged.

Thomas, a reader of one of the papers said “Terrific story. Tell Dorothy to skip the gutter cleaning! We found a product called GutterStuff which fits in gutters and allows water to run through.”

Jerry, a Lakewood Sentinel reader, sug-gested I should have braked with my right hand, (probably a mistake I made). He also sent me safety rules and suggested staying off streets and using trails.

Forest, a Transcript reader, inspired me with his stories of cross country adven-

tures and how alive they made him feel. He’s written books which I plan to check out.

Martin, a regular reader of my col-umns in the Wheat Ridge Transcript also responded about the difficulty of crossing 44th.

I enjoyed hearing from readers and hope I will get more responses to my col-umns in the future. I will attempt to hit topics of interest to the community. Please send messages anytime. I’m working on a book of my favorite columns from the last 30 years. Will keep readers posted.

Costs uncertain in 51st-state plan Secession might leave urban areas better o� By Burt Hubbard I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS

Colorado could stand to benefi t fi nan-cially and would see some improvement in the educational and economic stand-ings of its remaining citizens if 10 north-eastern counties should make good on their threat to secede and carve out a new state of North Colorado.

By those measures, Colorado’s attitude might be: Have fun out there, new state!

But what’s left of Colorado would also lose half of its lucrative oil wells, much of its prime farmland and some of the low-est crime areas in the state.

By those measures, Colorado’s attitude might be: Can’t we just all get along?

In addition to the 10 northeast Colo-rado counties that have a secession vote on November’s ballot, Moffat County in far northwest Colorado also will vote on whether to leave. But Moffat apparently wants to become Baja Wyoming.

I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS ana-lyzed census, budget, crime and voter records to develop profi les of a new 51st state and a truncated Colorado. Suffi ce it to say, Colorado would no longer be considered a square state. And, of course, neither would Wyoming, with its new Moffat County panhandle.

Residents of the 11 counties will de-cide next month whether to start the fraught-with-diffi culty political journey to leave Colorado and, in the case of the northeast counties, become a new state. West Virginia was the last state to man-age such a separation, in 1863, during the Civil War, a move validated solely by a proclamation from President Lincoln, ac-cording to a state website.

It isn’t that easy today. One impedi-ment: Colorado and both house of the U.S. Congress would have to agree.

But proponents of secession said rural Coloradans are tired of having unpopu-lar laws like stronger gun control and mandatory alternative energy standards forced on them by a Front Range-domi-nated state Legislature.

“What has happened is the urbaniza-tion of America has disenfranchised the rural population,” said Jeffrey Hare, one of the organizers of the 51st State Initia-tive.

Bills caused angerJohn Straayer, political science profes-

sor at Colorado State University, said bills from the last legislative session appear to have aroused animosity toward the legis-lature.

“In terms of the immediate trigger, guns and probably SB 252 (requiring use of alternative energy resources),” Straayer said. “They allege that it is more than that, not being treated properly by the Legisla-ture on a variety of issues for a long time.”

The eventual exodus, if the consti-tutional minefi eld could be navigated, would create a North Colorado of about 336,000 people, supplanting Wyoming as the least populous state in the U.S. It would leave Colorado with about 4.7 mil-lion residents, dropping it to the 23rd most populous state behind Alabama.

One of the key questions is the fi nan-cial viability of a new state and its impact on the remainder of Colorado.

Financially, state government in Colo-rado would probably come out ahead if the 11 counties left, according to I-News estimates of how much revenue the state receives from the counties compared to expenditures there.

The counties generate between $360 million and $400 million yearly for the state in sales tax, state income tax and the state’s share of vehicle registration fees.

That accounts for about three-fourths of the revenue Colorado receives from those counties each year from taxes and fees.

Extrapolating forward, that would be the equivalent of between $500 million and $560 million in revenue lost to the state from the 11 counties.

On the other side of the ledger, the state spends about $520 million in the

11 counties for K-12 school funding, in-carcerating criminals from the counties, providing Medicaid, running the courts and the state’s share of running one uni-versity and three community colleges.

Those costs equal about 84 percent of the state’s overall general fund spending in the secession-voting counties. Extrap-olating forward, that would come to total spending of about $620 million.

Bottom line: Colorado spends be-tween about $60 million and $120 million or more per year in the 11 counties than the revenue it receives.

“There’s still a lot of (state) money coming back to these counties,” said Brian Lewandowski, economist with the Leeds Business School at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

By comparison, a similar analysis of Denver showed the county provides more tax and fee revenue to the state than it gets back in state funding for programs.

“You’ve got densely populated areas where there is a lot of wealth like Denver County and Douglas County,” said Le-wandowski.

Figures in disputeHowever, advocates of secession dis-

agree with the I-News analysis and point to their own report that shows the coun-ties break even with state government on spending and revenue.

The differences between the two analyses involved spending fi gures on K-12 education, revenue from the state income tax and severance taxes from oil and gas development.

Gov. John Hickenlooper’s offi ce had no comment on what fi nancial impact the secession would have on Colorado.

The I-News analysis did not examine how much money the counties currently

receive directly from oil and gas opera-tions. That’s money that would help run a new state.

More than half of Colorado’s oil and gas wells would reside in the new state, mostly in Weld.

“It’s pretty amazing the amount of dol-lars that it generates,” Lewandowsk said.

Weld County alone gets 55 percent of its property tax revenue from explora-tion. That has resulted in a current $100 million county contingency fund and no debt, said Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway, a leading proponent of se-cession who previously was chief of staff to former U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo.

During the recent fl ooding, the county was able to reopen its roads on its own. “We’ve done this on our own,” Conway said. “We haven’t got help from the state.”

Not all politicians in Weld County want to secede. Tom Norton, the mayor of Greeley and former Republican president of the state Senate, wrote in a column in The Greeley Tribune last summer that, while some state decisions have hurt ru-ral Colorado, collaboration with the state, not secession, is the solution.

Demographically and politically, the two states — North Colorado and Colo-rado — would look quite different, the I-News analysis showed.

North Colorado would be predomi-nantly Republican, with the fi fth highest ratio of Republicans to Democrats in the U.S.

Meanwhile, Democrats in Colorado would outnumber Republicans for the fi rst time in years.

“We would have a red state and a blue state,” Straayer said.

Education disparityThe would-be exiting counties are

generally poorer and less educated than the rest of Colorado, according to Census data.

College education levels in North Colorado would be on par with those of Tennessee and Oklahoma, while college graduation rates would rise in Colorado to the second highest in the nation.

North Colorado would have among the lowest crime rates in the nation, rank-ing from fi fth to 11th lowest among states for rape, robbery, burglary and car theft.

Colorado’s overall crime rates would go up, with motor vehicle theft rates al-most three times higher than those of the 51st state.

North Colorado would have a higher percentage of families among its house-holds, be younger on average and have a higher percentage of Latinos. In fact, the new state would have the sixth highest percentage of Hispanics in the U.S. But its black population would only be about 1 percent, the fi fth lowest in the U.S.

And then, of course, there are the is-sues of marijuana and tornadoes. Legal pot would stop at old Colorado’s borders. About half of the state’s tornados touch down every year in the counties that would leave Colorado.

Even if approved by the counties in-volved, secession would appear to re-main a long shot, as it would require both Colorado and federal approval.

State ratifi cation could come in a citi-zens’ initiative — such as the one that legalized recreational marijuana — in a referred ballot measure from the legisla-ture, or in an act of the legislature, said Richard Collins, professor at the Univer-sity of Colorado School of Law.

If that happened, it would then need approval by both houses of Congress.

In the meantime, the effort has drawn national publicity and its share of politi-cal quips.

Last month, when Hickenlooper was looking at fl ood damage in Julesburg, which would be part of the new state, he assured offi cials there that all Colorado would be working together to overcome the disaster, before quipping, “then you all can get back to seceding.”

And Conway could not resist a dig at his two least favorite counties when talking about interest in secession being voiced elsewhere — including in some counties not involved in the current ef-fort.

“When we’re done, we might be voting Denver and Boulder off the island.”
