Je� co residents lead in voter turnout County makes o� cial change over to mail-in ballots By Amy Woodward [email protected]

Jeffco Election and Voting Center at 3500 Illinois St. is buzzing with activity i n its multiple ballot

sorting rooms in the basement below, with mailed in bal-lots arriving daily.

Over 76,813 votes have

been cast in Jef-fco, according to

numbers released by the Colorado Secre-tary of State last week. The turnout results show Jeffco is in the lead for the highest

voter turnout so far for the 2014 Election. El Paso county is the second highest fol-lowed by Arapahoe County.

Of the number reported for voter turn-out in Jeffco, 31,323 voters of the Repub-lican Party have already submitted their

choices, following 24,789 voters of the Democratic Party. Citizens who registered unaffi liated made up 19,998 of the votes already submitted, while members of the Libertarian Party, Green Party and Ameri-can Constitution Party make up the rest.

Jeffco Clerk and Recorder Pam Ander-son is urging eligible voters to return mail-in ballots early or head down to any voting center that is the most convenient. Full-service voter and polling centers which are no longer assigned to a person’s place of residence are now open across Jeffco. The centers allow voters to update voter infor-mation, request a ballot or access voting equipment.

Mail-in ballots assigned to voters who have chosen to receive one have already been sent out.

“If you have already decided and you have your ballot, go ahead and vote and

Budget features projects

By Clarke Reader [email protected]

Lakewood City Council passed the revised budget and adopted the bud-get for 2015, which were marked by an upbeat revenue climate. Council also passed the Lakewood Reinvestment Authority budget for 2015.

The budget passed Oct. 27 with a 9-1 vote, Ward 4 Councilman Da-vid Wiechman in opposition. Ward 2 Councilman Scott Koop was not pres-ent.

City fi nance director Larry Dorr led the discussion about the budget, pro-viding council with facts and fi gures about how 2014 has been so far.

“The city has a history of being pretty conservative when it comes to spending and that has helped us a lot,” he said.

So far the city has made $1.945 mil-lion in sales tax, and has a total rev-enue of $5.338 million.

There are new expenses and proj-ects coming, including the Quail Street Recycling Center, electronic docketing at the courts and technol-ogy security and Dorr gave the three largest departments a chance to speak about the details of their projects.

Police Chief Kevin Paletta spoke about the department’s new Records Management System (RMS), which is the data backbone for the police.

Working with a consortium of oth-er Jefferson County agencies, Lake-wood police are in the process of set-ting up a new RMS system that will allow for easier communication and data sharing, and will save the depart-ment money.

Jay Hutchison, director of public works, highlighted some major proj-ects for his department, including the construction work going on at the Civic Center and efforts to improve sidewalks in the city.

Hutchison said the second phase of the Civic Center reconstruction is

Train ride to inspiration RTD celebrates W Rail artwork By Clarke Reader [email protected]

The W Rail has been open for a year-and-a half and with all but one of the line’s art pieces installed, RTD is celebrating the countless hours of work that added some color to the line.

Brenda Tierney, public information manager with RTD, and Lindsey L. Smith, RTD Art-n-Transit administrator, lead a tour of the line’s works with community leaders and residents on Oct. 24.

“This is a story of partnerships,” said Alexis Moore, city planner with Lakewood at the Lamar Station, but she could well be speaking about all of the installations.

The works along the W Rail — from the Federal Center to Decatur-Federal station — tell different stories of the area in a vari-ety of mediums, from mosaics to sculpture

COMPENSATION CLAIMS

State’s two big races closer than expectedGubernatorial, Senate contests have incumbents on edgeBy Vic [email protected]

There will be no need for manicure ap-pointments this week for the four candi-dates involved in Colorado’s gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races — because Election Night is expected to be a real nail-biter.

“This is one of the most exciting elec-tions in Colorado history,” said Bob Loevy, a longtime state political observer and political science professor from Colorado College. “I can’t recall a governor’s race and a Senate race neck-and-neck, right at the same time.”

The question for the Demo-cratic incum-bents, Gov. John Hicken-looper and Sen. Mark Udall, is whether they will be able to ride out a n expected national Republican wave on Nov. 4.

Loevy said the wave historically is a re-liable one, and it’s one that could sweep U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner into the Senate and could help former Congressman Bob Beauprez become the next governor of Colorado.

Loevy calls it the “six-year pushback,” which occurs every sixth year of a U.S. presidency. The pushback is born from a midterm election political environment that historically favors the party that does not control the White House.

Loevy said the wave goes back as far as 1938, when Democrats lost seats in Con-gress during Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidency. More recently, Democrats dominated the 2006 midterm elections, which were held during George W. Bush’s

sixth year as president.Bill Clinton proved to be the exception

in 1998, when Democrats performed well during that year’s mid-term election cycle, a result of voter backlash against the per-ceived overreach of Republicans’ response to Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky.

The wave doesn’t just impact federal races, Loevy said.

“If you back me into a corner, I would say I think the Republicans are going to win the governorship because of the six-year pushback,” he said.

If that happens, Hickenlooper support-ers surely will be asking themselves how things ever got to that point.

“That would be most inexplicable to me,” said Eric Sondermann, an indepen-dent political analyst. “If you would have told people six months ago that when bal-lots are being sent to mailboxes, it would be a dead-heat race, a lot of people would have taken that bet.”

Odds did not favor a Republican gu-bernatorial win this spring. Hickenloop-er’s quirky personality and his insistence on never running a negative campaign seemed to resonate with voters through the early part of his first term.

The state’s economy had been gain-ing steam under Hickenlooper’s steward-ship, and early Republican primary polls showed polarizing former Congressman Tom Tancredo leading the pack of GOP primary hopefuls.

Instead it was Beauprez who won the nomination in June — the man tagged as “both ways Bob” when he was badly beat-en by Bill Ritter in the 2006 gubernatorial race. Beauprez’s baggage from his previous run left Hickenlooper supporters feeling good about their chances come November.

However, for months, the Beauprez campaign has hammered away at Hick-enlooper’s perceived lack of leadership in several areas. At the top of that list was the governor’s decision to grant a reprieve for death-row inmate Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993. Hickenlooper

received criticism for taking a middle path rather than going forward with either an execution or clemency.

The governor also caused a media stir over the summer during a gathering of state sheriffs, where he fumbled com-ments on gun-control legislation that he signed into law the year before.

Meanwhile, Beauprez has mostly run a mistake-free campaign. But will that be enough to take down a likable governor of a state that typically doesn’t oust incum-bents from the job?

Norman Provizer, a political science professor at Metropolitan State University, said Beauprez seems to have learned from his “disastrous” 2006 bid and that part of his strategy this time is to simply stay out of Hickenlooper’s way while the governor makes mistakes on the campaign trail.

“It’s basically don’t do anything stupid and don’t say very much,” Provizer said.

Sondermann agrees, but added that Beauprez needs to do more than that in or-der to be successful Nov. 4.

“He’s been the person standing by the side of train tracks and seeing if the freight train derails,” Sondermann said of Beau-prez’s campaign strategy. “If it does, you’re there to pick up the pieces. Is the passive strategy enough to get him to get over the finish line or does he need a closer? My in-stinct is he needs a closer.”

Women’s rights in spotlightMeanwhile, the Udall-Gardner match-

up has been one of the most closely fol-lowed Senate races in the country.

Women’s issues have dominated the campaign, with the Udall team launching an early-and-often advertising blitz against Gardner, which has attempted to paint the conservative congressman as being out of touch or too extreme on issues pertaining to women’s reproductive rights.

But Udall has been criticized for having run what some perceive to be a one-issue campaign that is obsessed with capturing support of women voters.

Provizer surmises that the Udall cam-paign must be seeing internal polling num-bers that show the attacks against Gardner are working and that “it’s always a good po-litical move to define your opponent.”

“But it became so much of it that it lost its effectiveness,” Provizer said.

Also possibly working against Udall are recent crises outside of his control that could favor Republicans this fall. Whether that’s fair to Democrats is another story.

Analysts agree that the rise of ISIS-backed terrorism in the Middle East and questions over the government’s response to the ongoing Ebola virus threat may help Republicans on Nov. 4, because those de-velopments happened on Obama’s watch.

“Just weeks before ballots are mailed out in Colorado, those are about the two worst things to happen to Democrats, not only for what happened, but the timing,” Loevy said.

“It is awfully a tough year to be carry-ing the Democrat banner, particularly in a federal race,” Sondermann added. “The bloom has fallen off the rose for Obama, there’s ISIS, Ebola ... there’s just very little good news for any Democrat.”

But Democrats still have a major advan-tage going for them that gives supporters hope — the vaunted Democratic get-out-the-vote machine.

Democrats have lapped Republicans in voter efforts in recent elections, and their outreach to women and Latino voters helped Michael Bennet win a close 2010 Senate contest that he had been trailing in polls leading up to Election Day.

“Everyone talks about this modern-day political, technological war out there,” Provizer said. “But there still remains a World War I aspect about a campaign, and that’s trench warfare on the ground.”

Whatever happens on Nov. 4, politi-cal observers say they will be enjoying the show.

“Stepping aside from who might win and lose, what an election,” Loevy said. “You can’t ask for anything more than that.”

Lakewood Sentinel 3October 30, 2014

By JIM SMITH, Realtor ® When people know you’re a real estate agent, they want to talk real estate, and occa-sionally the conversation turns to bad experi-ences they have had with the various profes-sionals involved in real estate transactions. I’m not an expert on where to complain about other professionals, but I thought you’d like to know where to turn when your bad experience was with a real estate agent. Most real estate agents are Realtors —that is, they are members of the National Associa-tion of Realtors. As Realtors, we are diligent about being perceived as honorable profes-sionals abiding by our Realtor Code of Ethics — Google it to learn its provisions — and we count on buyers and sellers as well as fellow Realtors to report wrong-doing of any kind to the appropriate authorities. In this column, I will help you know where to go. First, determine whether your agent has a managing broker to whom he reports. If his/her business card says “broker associate” he has a “broker” above him who shares respon-sibility for his or her actions. In that case, the first place to go would be his or her managing broker. Because brokers share responsibility for the misdeeds of their broker associates they really do want to know of any such mis-deeds and can be counted on to take discipli-

nary action of their own against a broker as-sociate who has done you wrong. If you are still in the transaction, the broker can also remove that broker associate from your trans-action and assign another broker associate — or serve you him/herself. If, however, the agent you’re complaining about is the broker, you still have one and possibly two paths open to you. If your com-plaint involves a violation of licensing law, you should complain to the Division of Real Es-tate. You can file a complaint online. The URL is too long to include here—just Google “Colorado Division of Real Estate Complaints” to find the fillable online form. If your complaint is of an ethical nature, determine whether the agent is a Realtor (a member of a Realtor association). You can determine that online at www.Colorado Realtors.com or call the Denver Metro Assn. of Realtors at 303-756-0553 and ask them to help you. If the agent is a Realtor, the same person can tell you how to file a complaint. If the agent is not a Realtor, he can’t be accused of violating the Realtor Code of Eth-ics (a good reason to hire only a Realtor), but you can still file a complaint with Metrolist, which has a procedure for handling com-plaints against non-Realtors who are mem-bers of the MLS. Call 303-850-9576.

If your agent’s actions caused you a mone-tary loss, remember that he/she has, by law, “errors & omissions” insurance. Ask the agent or his broker to file a claim.

If this column does not provide you with the information you need, feel free to call me. My contact information is below. I have other ways to help, including referring to lawyers.

and steel.“For each station we had a core art

committee and three community mem-bers work together to pick the art,” Tier-ney said. “They were able to make selec-tions based on what would be a good fit

for the station and its neighborhood.”Many of the installations — like “Lake-

wood Legacy Trees” by Lonnie Hanzon at the Lamar Station and “Winds of Change” by Mike Squared Mosaics at the Garrison Station — have already received attention from riders and art fans, but the tour gave all a chance to learn about the details of all the works along the line.

Tierney and Smith shared details about the 28 windscreens that are located at nine of the stations, which embrace both

functionality and the region’s history.“The work was done by Nancy O’Neil

and she did research of the Denver and Lakewood regions to find the historical images,” Smith said. “All the screens ref-erence the station they’re at in a different way.”

Community leaders like Bill Marino, chair of the 40 West Arts District, and Rog-er Wadnal, comprehensive planning man-ager with Lakewood, used the tour to not only celebrate the work done so far, but

what is still to come.“100 years ago there was a trolley line

that ran along the same route and the city owns one of the cars, Car No. 25. We’re looking to build a historic rail museum at the Oak Station,” Wadnal said. “Nearby we have Terumo BCT and the city has invest-ed in area betterments. This station has a lot of potential for Transit-Oriented-De-velopment — there is as much potential as any station on the line.”

Crime lab ready for testing Regional lab to serve several cities By Amy Woodward [email protected]

Civic leaders and law enforcement of-fi cials toured the expanded and improved Jefferson County Regional Crime Lab on Oct. 22.

The lab more than tripled in size, from 2,500 square feet to 16,500 square feet and will bring together forensic technicians from the county’s various municipalities who are in need of better equipment, more space, faster results — all of which will eliminate the need for going to the state for help.

“As we have now fi nished the valida-tion stage of the DNA lab and as we bring that stuff online, we anticipate that we will be cutting some of those time frames at about half of what we have been experi-encing,” said Division Chief Jeff Shrader at the Jeffco Sheriff’s Offi ce. “That will give us the ability to set the priorities and set the number of items of what we can test at any given place.”

The cost for the campus project was $34.8 million with an estimated $12 mil-lion of the total cost dedicated toward the crime lab and storage space, Shrader said. The lab’s high-tech equipment for DNA ex-traction and testing costs $750,000.

“We feel that we owe it to our commu-

nity and our victims to analyze evidence that comes across our individual agencies in a timely and effi cient manner so that we can ensure a speedy prosecution for those that rely on forensic evidence,” said Jeffco Sheriff Ted Mink.

The lab houses several exam rooms for different areas of forensic investigations including DNA testing, ballistics, fi nger-printing and a chemistry lab with quality testing equipment to accommodate ad-vancing forensic science.

Cities help support the crime lab through money or through staffi ng — tech-nicians employed by city law enforcement agencies who will work there.

Jeffco’s trend toward regionalizing cer-tain services is part of the county’s and surrounding cities’ efforts to work togeth-er to provide better service while saving on costs. Other regional law enforcement partnerships including a regional train-ing academy and a West Metro Drug Task Force with several plans in the works for the future including regionalizing a dis-patch center for police and fi re services.

“Without the support of city councils and managers — we wouldn’t be able to do this,” Mink said.

Golden City Manager Mike Bestor at-tended the tour along with Golden city council members, Marcia Claxton and Saoirse Charis-Graves.

“This is going to prove to be a great in-vestment for nailing these bad guys,” Be-stor said, who supported the lab project. “All the jurisdictions here work really, really well together and that makes all the differ-ence in the world.”

EDUCATION NEWS IN A HURRY

Top Colorado high schoolsAccording to a recent U.S. News and

World Report, seven Jefferson County high schools made the top-50 schools in Colorado list.

Reviewed out of more than 30,000 schools nationwide and 88 high schools in Colorado, D’Evelyn (2), Evergreen (9) and Conifer high (10) schools made the top-10

list. Lakewood (17), Ralston Valley (21), Wheat Ridge (29) and Jefferson Charter Academy (45) high schools ranked among the top-50.

Schools were ranked in a three-step process nationally, then following that designation ranked on state-level. The highest ranking school nationally was declared the top school in the state.

Dennison Elementary celebrates 40thBy Clarke [email protected]

Some communities are born and some are built.

Dennison Elementary is celebrating its 40th anniversary of community building in Lakewood with an open house that high-lights the four decades the school has been teaching students and the changes during that time.

The open house is at the school, 401 In-dependence St., 8:30-10:30 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 7.

“We have a great program, dedicated teachers and staff, our students put forth a good effort and we have supportive and concerned parents,” said Principal Mau-reen Curtiss. “We were the second option school in Jeffco and have been selected as a No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon School twice.”

Dennison has always been an option school, which is similar to a charter school except that it falls under the purview of the Jefferson County School Board. The school gets to select its own instructional model, and Dennison opted for a textbook-based program that focuses on teaching for en-tire grade levels.

The school has 624 students to the 30 teachers and is not a neighborhood school — enrollment is based on a random lot-tery and accepts students from all over the county.

“Both my husband and I came from really traditional backgrounds and we

wanted our kids to have that same educa-tion while learning how to respect people,” said Connie Weiss, president of Dennison’s PTA. “I found out about Dennison through word of mouth — before we did the lottery people were putting their kids’ name on the waiting list as soon as they can.”

The open house is open to the entire community and will feature vocal perfor-mances from first, fourth and sixth grad-ers, speakers from the school’s history and a collection of memorabilia from 1974. Staff is also being encouraged to dress up in clothes of the era and visitors are wel-come to do so as well.

Curtiss said the event has been in devel-opment since August, and is a result of the efforts of a community of people — some-thing Dennison has perfected over the past 40 years.

“Since we’re not a neighborhood school everyone works hard to make a commu-nity and family here,” she said.

“When you have students spread from Westminster to Littleton, you work to bring them together somehow,” Weiss added.

Doing better for veteransAmerican Job Center hosts Add-A-Veteran eventBy Clarke [email protected]

Veterans were one of the most affected groups by the recent economic downturn, and so the American Job Center is host-ing an Add-A-Veteran Hiring Event to give service members a chance to find new em-ployment.

The event is 9-11:30 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 13, at the Wheat Ridge Recreation

Center, 4005 Kipling St.All registered veterans and their spouses

will be provided a list of positions that are open from each company in attendance. Veterans will be given the opportunity to target their resumes and conduct research on the businesses in advance of this event.

This event also provides businesses a chance to meet with, review qualifications of, and speak directly to numerous highly qualified veteran applicants.

“We typically get a really good response and put the word out to a lot of employ-ers,” said Tim Galloway, program super-visor with the American Job Center. “The employers appreciate the chance to meet great candidates and the veterans get a chance to prepare.”

While the event is focused on Jefferson County, it is not exclusive to the county — veterans from the metro area are welcome to attend.

Galloway said in the past hiring manag-ers from companies as varied as Lockheed

Martin, Terumo BCT and NREL make ap-pearances at the event, as well as represen-tatives from a variety of trade unions.

All services are veteran preferred at the American Job Center and Galloway said the Add-A-Veteran event reflects a com-mitment to providing the best options for those who served.

“Veterans deserve all the support the community can provide,” he said. “Veter-ans have been extremely pleased to be put in close proximity with companies looking to hire.”

To register visit www.conta.cc/1o3SUKa. For more information on this event con-tact Galloway at 303-271-4800 or at [email protected].

OPINIONY O U R S & O U R S

Quantities of quality connectionsThere are some wonderful things about

living in Colorado this time of year. For instance, no matter how contentious, ugly, or, frankly, embarrassing the politi-cal debates we’re having become (I mean, really, folks — when national media outlets are referring to your senator by a female reproductive organ ...), we can all come together around one thing: The Denver Broncos.

I, like, well, everybody, was glued to the TV last Thursday night for the Broncos/49ers game. And, no matter how long he’s been at this, Peyton Manning still seems to find new ways to exploit his opponents. This week, it was Emmanuel Sanders torching the enemy for three touchdowns.

And then I go, “how the heck do ‘we’ (because, y’know, I am a part of the Broncos organization) have Emmanuel Sanders?” He’s really fast, he catches everything thrown his way, and he looks, for all the world, like one of the league’s top-tier receivers. But why would someone like that come to the Broncos, knowing that we already have one of the five best receivers, one of the five best tight ends, and the greatest slot receiver the game has ever seen?

But it’s not just him. The three “really big” offseason pickups were all on the defense. So, why are all these major players coming to play in Denver, when they could make the same (or maybe better) money

somewhere else?And the answer is simple: quality at-

tracts quality. These players all know that, as long as Peyton Manning is in Denver, they have a chance to win a Super Bowl. But, more than that, I think they know that, as long as Peyton Manning is in Denver, things are going to be done the right way.

And, why is Peyton Manning in Denver? Because John Elway is running things, and that means things are going to be done the right way.

By the way, if you want to see the con-verse of this idea, just watch the Colorado Rockies’ off-season. See how much “A-list” talent they attract.

The old proverb advises to “judge a man by the company he keeps.” I think the same is very true of organizations, and not just sports teams. For instance, I’ve been very impressed to witness, over the last several weeks, the quality of people who have come through the doors of our church. We attend the Arvada Covenant

Church, and we’ve been trying to hire a new worship leader, and the finalists were invited to meet the congregation, and lead us in song. And the two people who came in were most impressive! And then, just this past week, a junior member of the pastoral staff gave the Sunday sermon, and hit it out of the park.

I am forced to conclude that there is something very good going on in the culture of my church (thankfully—whew!) that it has been able to attract some very strong people to be a part of the organiza-tion. It speaks well of the leadership of the senior pastor, and the governance of the board of directors. The same is true of schools, and of retirement communities, and, really, of every organization (except, maybe,Trump Industries, who simply pay through the roof for talent).

So I think the lesson of the Broncos’ re-ascension to dominance is simply this: if you are in a leadership position (say, of a school district), and you want to know how you’re doing, you have no further to look than the resumes of the people applying for jobs with you. If you’re doing things the right way, great people will be knocking down your door to get in.

Zombies or attack ads?

In honor of the overlapping election and Halloween seasons, we crafted a spe-cial question for students at Front Range Community College on 112th Avenue in Westminster. Faced with the choice of a zombie apocalypse or being kidnapped to another galaxy and made to watch at-tack ads 10 hours a day, which would you choose and why?

‘The zombies. Because my brother knows everything about them and knows what to do.’

My father’s advice: in every election, vote Wake up: Parents set examples for their

children about participation in politics, voting, getting involved in campaigns, etc.

Lucky for me, my parents were active in Jefferson County politics beginning in the l960s. I got to meet all sorts of political people. Some I liked better than others. My dad raised funds for Republican can-didates such as U.S. Congressman Don Brotzman and U.S. Sen. Pete Dominick. I remember when I was in high school hearing my father on the phone asking people for donations to campaigns. He was persuasive; people donated.

In their later years my parents crossed party lines for one congressional race. They had coffees in their home for Ed Perlmutter, Democrat, a neighbor, candi-date for U.S. Congress.

The lesson I learned was to get involved, stay open to new people and ideas, and to choose candidates care-fully, not just because the party you are affi liated with tells you to vote a straight party line.

Personally, I am registered in a party — so I can vote in the primaries. I don’t vote

party line, but vote for candidates who are proven to be hard workers, honest, care about their constituency , and most importantly work well with others to get things done.

I joke that the U.S Congress is gummed up by members of the “Grid” and “Lock” parties. Actually it’s not a joke. It seems like the whole Congress needs therapy and lessons in listening and refl ecting.

No more “You did this, your party is evil. Your party sucks!” but rather how about, “I hear you saying such and such, is that correct?” If people feel they are heard supposedly they get along better. If listening works in a marriage, why not in

U.S. Congress or local political groups? We will never all agree, but at least we could listen to each other and refl ect what we hear. The atmosphere might become less charged and divided.

When my friends blame one political party or the other for our country’s prob-lems, I am turned off. I know there are good people in both parties. Sure there are some duds and knuckleheads, but polar-ization by party lines gets us nowhere.

I am looking at my ballot with can-didates for Colorado governor, a race between Bob Beauprez and John Hicken-looper. The Denver Post today says, “New Beauprez ad dives into gutter.” OK, they give good reasons for attacking the televi-sion ads.

It appears the Denver Post supports John Hickenlooper, Democratic candidate for governor. But what surprised me was the Denver Post also supports Cory Gard-

ner, Republican candidate for senate.They say Gardner works well with oth-

ers. I fi nd this fascinating that the Denver Post is endorsing two different parties in major Colorado races. I am impressed the paper is crossing party lines. That’s what my parents did. That’s what I do when I vote.

Most of all I hope more people become politically informed and vote. People abroad in the Middle East are fi ghting so hard to vote, to have the freedom of choice that Americans have.

Send that ballot in. Vote!

Cheesecakes for charity There’s moolah in muffi ns and big

bucks in banana bread … just ask veteran fundraisers who use bake sales to help fi ll the coffers of community organizations.

Now that the focus on politics is (fi -nally) winding down, many of us are turn-ing to philanthropy – receiving requests, as well as asking, for contributions and donations to nonprofi t agencies. And bake sales – a staple of fall fundraising – bring the goods right to you. Churches, schools, businesses…all are displaying their wares in exchange for your support of their charities of choice.

When I worked in a large organization with multiple locations around the city, our marketing department knew how to do it up right. These smart sales folk didn’t limit themselves to just baked goods — their culinary offerings included chili dogs and breakfast burritos, crockpot concoc-tions, stovetop delicacies, and even candy goodie bags.

One of their secrets was offering that something special, something different,

something most people love, but won’t make for themselves. And that’s how, I’m happy to say, we sold a single cheesecake for more than $200. I’m not kidding.

My colleague Brian had a plan – as well as a drop-you-to-your-knees Caramel Apple Cheesecake recipe — so I’m happy to share his genius, and his recipe, with you.

First, Brian said, announce your event in advance. For example, start with emails on Monday for a Friday sale, and then send reminders every day. Choose any time people can wander into your work

area and spend their money. If you have muffi ns or bread or pastries, make sure the coffee crowd knows you are open. Keep your table stocked all day, especially if you have a second shift or night crew coming in … they’ll want goodies too.

Second, don’t pre-price your items. When you ask for donations, people are much more generous. It’s sort of like the “free” car washes we see on street corners in the summer. Your customers will prob-ably recognize that you went all out, and will make it worth your while. People also tend to pay in bills, rather than change, when you don’t put a fi rm price on your goods.

And Brian’s third secret for success? Take orders … and then take bids. If you have multiple locations, as we did, take orders from all your stores or branches or campuses in advance – and offer to deliver on the day of the sale. This way, everyone can participate and you just might receive a nice donation for your trouble. Use email to update the bids as you get them.

Issuing a challenge from department to department is also a great strategy to get more dough for your, well, dough.

I saw this one in action. Managers from our various locations started outbidding each other for Brian’s Caramel Apple Cheesecake and the challenge was on. Email fl ew around the organization in a bidding war until the auction closed and the baker delivered a cheesecake worth more than $200.

So, if you’re looking for a way to use all that zucchini and or just want to try out something outrageous on your coworkers, you can share the bounty of your kitchen and raise funds for a worthwhile cause. And don’t worry about divulging your secret ingredients … consider it a compli-ment if someone wants your recipe!

Andrea Doray is a writer who also loves to cook. If you would like Brian’s Caramel Apple Cheesecake for Charity recipe, con-tact Andrea at [email protected].

WMF reminds residents to checksmoke and carbon monoxide alarms

Based on the latest National Fire

Protection Association (NFPA) research, working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a fire in half. Meanwhile, almost two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

Here are some smoke alarm safety messages:

• Install smoke alarms in every bed-room, outside each separate sleeping areas and on every level of the home, including the basement.

• Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button.

• Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they don’t sound properly.

• Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound of the smoke alarm and understands what to do when they hear it. With the holidays right around the corner, be sure your guests also know two ways out of every room and where your family meeting place is outside.

Smoke alarms should be cleaned at least once a year. To clean the alarm, remove it from the mounting bracket. Residents can clean the interior of their alarm (sensing chamber) by using com-pressed air or a vacuum cleaner hose and blowing or vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth. After cleaning, re-install the alarm and test your alarm by using the test button. If cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm should be replaced.

Over-the-top gated home has price to match

The Taylor Estate, the highest-priced home in the Denver metro area, is up for sale for $27.7 million in Lakewood.

The 1932-built gated spread on the shores of Ward Lake was designed by renowned Denver architect Burnham F. Hoyt, who also designed Red Rocks Amphitheatre as well as landmarks such as the Denver Central Public Library and Colorado Capitol Annex Building. According to reports, Hoyt once regarded this residence as the most beautiful home in America.

This 14-000-square-foot, 26-room manor house features a paneled library, banquet-size dining room, dual master suites with nine additional bedroom suites, 12 fireplaces and a staff wing. The 122 acres include mountain views, century-old trees, a lake with a beach and boating privileges, a pool, tennis court, three staff cottages, stables, water rights and agricultural status.

Guests at this storied estate have in-cluded Denver high society, British royal-ty and assorted dignitaries. Prince Philip and Princess Anne of Great Britain chose to stay there as guests of the Taylors.

This property also includes a heated pool, tennis court, outdoor patios, a flower-cutting garden, dressage ring and stables.

2015 Restaurant Week setThe oh-so-popular Denver Restaurant

Week (DRW), presented by Lexus and organized by Visit Denver, will revert to a single 10-day event in 2015, running Feb. 20 to March 1.

“We talked to restaurant owners, res-taurant employees, diners, sponsors and restaurant week fans, and the consensus was that seven days of DRW was too short, but 14 consecutive days was too long,” said Justin Bresler, vice presi-dent of marketing for Visit Denver. “The perfect `best of both worlds’ compro-mise appears to be to run it for 10 days, encompassing two complete weekends in the traditional slow period of February.”

For Denver Restaurant Week’s 10th anniversary this year, at the request of participating restaurants, DRW was split into two separate weeklong events, one in February and one in late August.

“While summer restaurant week was popular with both restaurants and diners, the challenge going forward was to find a week that wasn’t already occupied by an existing event, holiday or a week that didn’t have a major convention,” Bresler said.

Late summer and fall are Denver’s busiest convention months.

“We really don’t want to bring 10,000 convention delegates to Denver and have them find that every restaurant is booked with DRW reservations,” Bresler said, adding that the restaurants also don’t want to be offering special DRW pricing at a time when there are thousands of hungry convention delegates in town.

“In the end, we couldn’t find work-able dates for the summer event, and the consensus of opinion was to concentrate on the traditional February time frame,” Bresler said.

More than 300 restaurants participat-ed in the 2014 winter DRW and more than 200 in the summer DRW, making this one

�e Edge produces Sam Shepard dramaBy Clarke [email protected]

Scary comes in all shapes and sizes — some-times it’s the sensation of being watched and other times it comes from the realization that things aren’t what they seem.

Sam Shepard’s 1979 Pulitzer Prize-winning family drama “Buried Child” dives behind the

façade of a seem-ingly perfect family to plumb the depths of deprav-ity that could be behind any locked

door.“Buried Child” plays at the Edge Theater, 1560

Teller St. in Lakewood, through Nov. 16. Show times are at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 6 p.m. on Sunday.

“I approach the show as seven orbs that keep colliding with each other,” said director Rick Bern-stein. “The play is about love lost and passion lost for this one family.”

When Vince (Royce Wood) and his girlfriend Shelly (Missy Moore) come home to meet his fam-ily, Shelly is initially taken by a group of people she describes as something right out of a Norman Rockwell painting.

That image is quickly shattered when she meets grandparents Dodge (Dan Mundell) and Halie (Emma Messenger) — a pair of violent, alcoholics who are just the tip of the iceberg. Their

sons — Tilden (Robert Kramer) and Bradley (Brian Landis Folkins) — have their own demons. Tilden is developmentally challenged, and Bradley lost a leg to a chainsaw.

What follows is an exploration of secrets at the way they rot the core of every person.

The show also features Tim Fishbaugh as Father Dweis.

“I see the play as one full of contradictions,” said Mundell. “The characters are constantly ut-tering lies and contradictions and all these little things create a sense of insecurity, not only for the other characters, but in the audience as well.”

While the ending shows at least a glimmer of redemption, Mundell still describes the play as a macabre comedy that examines the changes in the American family.

“I think the family is representative of Ameri-can society becoming so autonomous and ceasing to communicate,” Bernstein said. “Instead they communicate by assumption.”

For many people laughing — especially during inappropriate times — is the way to cope with uncomfortable situations, and both Bernstein and Mundell have heard a lot of that from audiences during performances.

“I think Shepard takes audiences to the far reaches of the darker side of personalities and you might think people aren’t like this,” Mundell said. “But during any day I know I have some vicious thoughts in my mind, just like everyone else.”

“Buried Child” is Bernstein’s first time directing at The Edge and he only uses superlatives in the experience, especially working with the cast on their admittedly unlikeable characters.

“I told the actors not to talk to each other about their characters,” he said. “So much of the show is private and about secrets and I wanted them to maintain that.”

The viewing experience is one audiences can expect to hold onto long after the show is over.

“It’s a brilliant piece of theater and I think speaks to some issues in a very macabre, non-lin-ear way,” Bernstein said. “You’ll leave the theater and keep thinking about it.”

Colorado hotels make listConde Nast Traveler just released its

2014 Readers’ Choice poll in the Best Ho-tels in the West category, and four Denver hostelries made the coveted list.

The historic Oxford Hotel, owned and operated by Sage Hospitality, earned the highest ranking at No. 4, followed by The Four Seasons Denver at No. 11, JW Mar-riott Denver Cherry Creek (another Sage property) at No. 14 and The Ritz-Carlton Denver at No. 15. But the very top spot on the list was awarded to The Sebastian in Vail, a quaint spot with awesome ameni-ties.

“We are very excited to have these two

amazing Denver hotels once again be honored by one of the world’s top travel magazines,” said Sage president and CEO Walter Isenberg. “Both The Oxford and the JW Marriott Denver are very focused on offering guests a unique lodging ex-perience and excellent customer service. This is a wonderful recognition of that commitment.”

See and believe Mile High Magicians Society comes to cultural center By Clarke Reader [email protected]

It just takes one magician to make something disappear but it takes a whole society of magicians to sell out a theater.

The Mile High Magicians Society is bringing Magic! Beyond Belief! to the Lake-wood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Park-way, for its ninth annual performance at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8.

“We’re so thrilled to welcome the magi-cians back here for the ninth year in a row,” said Susan Martin, cultural center admin-istrator. “They bring a great show for fami-lies with them when they’re here.”

Matthew Brandt, president of Mile High Magicians, said the group is one of the largest magic clubs in the country, with more than 100 members.

“We do two big shows every year and this is one of them,” he said. “We’ll have performers from the whole gamut of magic — mind-reading, comedy, serious and kid-focused.”

The two-hour show will feature local

magicians with years of experience like Gene R. Gordon, who has been honing his sleight of hand craft for nearly 30 years and Chad Wonder, a children’s magician who was named Nickelodeon’s Entertainer of the Year for 2011-12.

“A lot of people hear magic and think it’s just for kids, and while we have that, we do some more adult based work,” Brandt said.

The junior showcase features young tal-ent Liam Broderick, winner of the Senior Close-Up Competition and Tannen’s Magic Camp; Max Davidson, winner of the Junior Stage competition; and 17-year-old magi-cian Tommy Walker.

Brandt, who has bee performing for 12 years, will also be part of the show. He describes his style as a mix of serious and comedic.

“My act has been described as odd,

unique and different,” he said with a laugh.Brandt said the variety of performers

and family-friendly nature makes it the perfect introduction into the world of Den-ver’s magic scene.

“Some people may say they don’t enjoy

magic but they may just like one perform-er,” he said. “We have so many great people here and it’s a chance to see a kind of per-forming arts that everyone can enjoy.”

Farm to table to frame40 West hosts harvest exhibitionBy Clarke [email protected]

The harvest season is winding down for the year, and the 40 West Arts District is celebrating with its latest exhibition.

The district’s Farm to Table show will run at the gallery, 1560 Teller St., through Nov. 23. It is open Tuesday through Satur-day, 1-4 p.m.

“This exhibit is obviously inspired by the farm to table movement, particularly through Sprout Farms in Lakewood,” said

Julie Byerlein, a member of the board for 40 West and a volunteer with its cham-pion group. “The show features sculp-ture, paintings, mixed media — and some quirky things for fun.”

40 West is hosting two special events while the exhibit is on display.

There will be a First Friday reception on Nov. 7, 5-7 p.m. The reception gives art-lovers a chance to visit as part of Denver Arts Week — which runs Nov. 7 through 15.

On Saturday, Nov. 8, the gallery will play host to a culinary arts celebration and ar-tistic Jello mold contest from noon to 4 p.m.

The artistic Jello mold contest will be judged at 1:30 p.m. by Andrew Novick with a public viewing from noon to 1 p.m.

There competition is open to all profes-sional and amateur artists and chefs who

are interest. Contestants must use Jello and a mold, with a label for if it is edible or not.

Novick will be handing out awards in

three categories: most artistic, best taste and most Colfax-cool.

For the culinary arts program, 40 West reached out to Sprout City Farms and Warren Tech students for help. The stu-dents will demonstrate different kinds of cooking using late season crops grown at Mountair Park.

“We’re going to be using vegetables like squash and potatoes in the cooking,” said Allison Hatch, director of development and outreach with Sprout City. “Educa-tional opportunities like this will hopefully spread the idea of farm to table wider. We want people to see what it means to be sustainable and what kind of options are available.”

SPORTSTigers make great late push but fall in openerBy Daniel [email protected]

BROOMFIELD - Lakewood soccer was swept out of the playoffs by Broomfield in a 3-0 loss Thursday at Broomfield High School.

The No. 21 Tigers made a brilliant late season push to put themselves in position to qualify for the playoffs but perhaps that push left nothing in the tank against the No. 12 Eagles.

Broomfield got goals from junior Cody Ewing, junior Porter Milner and senior Chris Sharkey, and while Lakewood had several scoring opportunities of its own the Tigers could never find the back of the net.

That is partially due to the play of Broomfield junior Michael Genge, who stopped all four of Lakewood’s shots on goal.

The Tigers finish their season with an under .500 record at 7-9 and 4-3 in 5A Jef-fco. And while that resume seems modest, Lakewood did make an incredible run to get positioned to make the state tourna-ment.

The Tigers opened the season by los-ing seven of their first nine games. How-ever, most of those losses came in tightly contested games that Lakewood simply couldn’t find a way to win.

But just when it looked like Lakewood was going to struggle for the entirety of its season the Tigers got red hot and reeled off four straight league victories beating Chatfield, Bear Creek, Standley Lake and Pomona.

Lakewood was led by junior Alejandro Avila who scored seven goals this season.

Junior goaltender Hector Moreno, who made 29 saves this season, will return in 2015 along with Avila to build off the Lake-wood’s strong late season finish.

Expect the Tigers to be in the mix for a 5A Jeffco league title in 2015.

Broom�eld sinks Lakewood in playo�s

Faith Christian poised for playo�sEagles o�ense is a monster but don’t forget about their DBy Daniel [email protected]

ARVADA - Faith Christian football continued to roll with its 41-0 victory over Denver West Friday, at Faith Christian High School.

The Eagles overwhelmed the Cowboys almost immediately, and by the game’s end were play-ing backups and underclassmen, as they prepare for the state play-offs.

Faith Christian used a total team effort to dismantle Denver West as its junior quarterback Adam Buchanan was near per-fect going 8-for-12 for 143 yards and two touchdowns.

Senior Jake Sanders was the recipient of both of those touch-down passes and he finished with 89 receiving yards off of five catches.

The versatile Eagles also used nine different running backs throughout the game, getting 60 yards off nine carried for junior running back Trevor Olsen.

Olsen also had two touch-downs and senior running back Daniel Landewisch added an-other, as the duo continued to terrorize its opponents.

Olsen and Landewisch, per-haps the state’s best running back combination in any classi-fication, has combined for 1,190 rushing yards this season and 18 touchdowns.

Moreover, the duo accounts for an average of 170 rushing yards per game for the Eagles.

However, while everyone is talking about how good Faith Christian’s offense is, its defense deserved a big chunk of the credit for their team’s success this sea-son.

The Eagles’ defense has de-livered four shutouts this season and has given up only 69 total points this season, giving up an average of just 7.6 points per game.

Credit unsung heroes like ju-nior Nick Cortes for some of that formidable defense. Cortes has five interceptions and a forced

fumbles on his resume this sea-son and is one of the defense’s biggest playmakers.

Faith Christian will now enter

the 2A state tournament as a No. 8 seed who will host No. 9 seeded Bayfield at a time and date yet to determined.

Our only Limitation is your Imagination!

A-West, Ralston Valley both win openers Mustangs roll and Wildcats survive scare as teams advance in playo� s By Daniel Williams [email protected]

DENVER - Over the past couple season Arvada West soccer has been looked at as one of the best teams in the state.

However, the team suffered fi rst round knock-outs in the state tournament over the past two seasons by much higher seeds.

This season No. 17 A-West was on a mission to not only advance but to make a deep playoff run which they hope started with a 1-0 victory over No. 16 Montbello Thursday at All City Field.

A lone second half goal by senior Bran-don Oeltjenbruns proved to be the game winner and junior goaltender Andy Fen-del made fi ve tough saves, helping the Wildcats advance to the Round of 16 where they faced Rock Canyon, Wednes-day at 4:30 at Shea Stadium.

Ralston Valley rides momentumAfter winning its fi rst 5A Jeffco league

championship just days before, Ralston Valley soccer got a big playoff win beating Denver East 3-1 Thursday at North Area Athletic Complex.

Senior Jordan Quinlisk set the tone for the Mustangs by heading in a spectacular goal midway through the fi rst half.

The Mustangs carried over the mo-mentum from completing a perfect 7-0

5A Jeffco season by beating a Denver East team that some thought had a chance to make a playoff run.

But the combination of head coach

Kyle Kazemi’s coaching along with a team hungry for redemption has fuelled the Mustangs fantastic season — which isn’t over just yet.

Ralston Valley (10-6, 7-0 in league) then played No. 2 Smoky Hill — regarded as one of the state’s best teams — Wednes-day at Smoky Hill High School.

Wheat Ridge routs Golden rivalry game Farmers prepare for playo� s by stalling out Demon o� ense By Daniel Williams [email protected]

LAKEWOOD - Golden’s football pro-gram has had a nice comeback this season. But Wheat Ridge football is still the stan-dard in 4A Jeffco.

And the Farmers brought their talent and experience to bear against the Demons in a 43-6 victory Friday at Jeffco Stadium.

But Friday night’s game was more than just your normal Wheat Ridge-Golden ri-valry game, as the two schools came to-gether with Lutheran Hospital to promote the fi rst annual “Pink” football game.

The game honored breast cancer vic-tims and survivors and despite Golden coming up a little short on the scoreboard the event was a huge success as the student sections from both schools were draped in pink.

“Lutheran is in our neighborhood and they asked us if we would be interested in this kind of event and I told them we would love to do that,” Wheat Ridge athletic direc-tor Nick DeSimone said.

“Both schools coming together for something like this takes the edge of the competition and focuses on our commu-nity.”

Perhaps the start of what looks to be an annual tradition will renew a once strong rivalry that Wheat Ridge had dominated over the last decade — including on Friday night.

The Farmers jumped out to a big fi rst quarter lead and took a 36-0 lead into half-

time. Wheat Ridge road its horse in senior running back Jordan Jones who was domi-nant, rushing for 130 yards on just 12 car-ries and producing three touchdown runs.

In addition, senior defensive back An-thony Mcginnis was the defensive player of

the game after he intercepted two and de-fl ected three more.

And with just one regular season game left on its schedule Wheat Ridge improved to 6-3 (3-1 in league) under the leadership of fi rst year head coach Dan Reardon.

The Farmers will wrap up their regular season when they play Denver South Fri-day at 4 p.m. at All City Field.

Golden (3-6, 1-3 in league) will play George Washington Friday, 7 p.m. at All City Field.

Ponderosa soccer ends Wheat Ridge seasonFarmers already looking forward to next yearBy Daniel [email protected]

PARKER - Just when it was starting to look like Wheat Ridge was producing an upset in the making their fortunes once again quickly changed.

And in the matter of just a few minutes the No. 27 Farmers gave up a pair of goals to No. 6 Ponderosa who advanced with a 2-0 victory in the first round of the 4A state soccer playoffs Wednesday at Sports Au-thority Stadium.

And once again Wheat Ridge was tough luck losers in a game where they were in position to win. The Farmers had held their opponents to a 0-0 tie with only 15 minutes left in regulation when Ponderosa scored two goals.

Ponderosa senior David Patterson beat Wheat Ridge goaltender Chase O’Dean for what proved to be the game-winning goal.

And a few minutes later freshman Colin

Hester gave the Mustangs a 2-0 lead.And just like that Wheat Ridge went

from on the verge of a huge playoff up-set to seeing its season ended. But tough luck isn’t something new to the Farmers this season. Actually it will go down as the theme for the 2014 season.

“We have just had such tough luck this season,” Wheat Ridge coach Tony Thomas said. “Right when we would start to get some traction or get some positive things happening for us it seemed like it quickly went the other way.

The Farmers finished 8-7-1 (4-5 in 4A Jeffco) good for fifth place in their league — an indication of how good 4A Jeffco is this season.

D’Evelyn, who finished a perfect 9-0 in league play as well as a 14-2 record, nar-rowly beat Wheat Ridge 2-1 on Sept. 18.

The Farmers proved this season they can compete with the elite teams in 4A classification soccer, but they never had the luck needed to make a deep playoff run.

“We knew they were much better than a No. 27 seed, and they proved that against us tonight,” Ponderosa coach Jim Engles said.

Birth of the Cool comes to LakewoodThe two-time Grammy winning Turtle Island Quartet

returns to Lakewood to present Birth of the Cool. The program is based on the seminal Miles Davis recording of 1957.

The living embodiment of cool, Miles Davis and his colleagues, Gil Evans, Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz set the table for a slew of legendary groups that shared their vi-sion.

In addition to employing their signature groove-based rhythmic techniques to transform classic selections from the recording of “Birth of the Cool” such as “Is-rael,” “Venus De Milo” and “Jeru” into jazz string quartet masterpieces, Turtle Island Quartet will take a wide swath through the many other avenues traversed by these in-trepid explorers of cool.

Perennial favorites such as Dave Brubeck’s “Blue Rondo A La Turk” and Gerry Mulligan’s “Bernie’s Tune” conjoin with Miles Davis’ dreamy “Miles Ahead” and the Modern Jazz Quartet’s darker “Django.” The program will also feature original compositions that share the cross genre musical stamp endemic to this hallowed mode of jazz music-making.

The Turtle Island Quartet includes founders David Balakrishnan (violin, baritone violin) and Mark Summer (cello) along with newest members Mateusz Smoczynski (violin) and Benjamin von Gutzeit (viola). For more infor-mation, visit www.turtleislandquartet.com.

Tickets are available at 303-987-7845, www.Lakewood.org/LCCPresents and the Lakewood Cultural Center Box Offi ce, 470 S. Allison Parkway.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF OCT 20 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Caution dominates the Sheep’s monetary aspect this week. Rams and Ewes might want to shear their big spending plans until a more favorable financial picture begins to emerge by week’s end.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Thrift counts both at home and at work. So you might want to rethink major purchases or investments. Also, be wary of a so-called revelation about a previous decision.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Both household bud-gets and workplace accounts might benefit from some judicious trimming of unnecessary expenses. A part-nership could lead to an unexpected challenge.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A previously overlooked opportunity could re-emerge with a new travel-related matter. Check this out carefully to see if it’s what you really want before you decide one way or another.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) This could be the start of a new career-changing phase, so start marking down your many accomplishments for those who need to know how much you have to offer. Good luck.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) It’s not too early for the sometimes procrastinating Virgo to start making those long-distance travel plans. The sooner you decide where to go, when to go and how to go, the better.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Financial matters once again figure in any major action you might take re-garding career, travel or other endeavors. You’ll want a ready reserve to help you back up those moves.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Trying to resolve a problem in a personal relationship could be more difficult than you’d expected. Look into the possibility that someone might be interfering for his or her own reasons.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A project you once rejected might be more attractive because of changes that you feel you can now work with. The weekend is especially favorable to family matters.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) This is a good week for the gregarious Goat to enjoy being with people you care for. You might even want to show off those creative kitchen skills you’re so adept at.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A colleague might think your attitude is patronizing or even outright in-sulting. True. That might be his or her problem. But you might want to take some reassuring steps anyway.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) It’s a good time to jet-tison those old concepts about a family matter you might have been holding on to. This will help make room for a new and more enlightened way of deal-ing with it.

BORN THIS WEEK: You like to analyze a puzzling situation before you try to resolve it. This makes you excel at getting things done the right way.

Global stature on the riseBusiness leaders weigh 3 million mark for Denver metroBy Amy [email protected]

Denver may be home to more than 600,000 people, but add the surrounding cities and counties, and the Denver metro area is expected to collectively grow to 3 million people.

In fact, it may have already happened, a milestone that firmly places the area on the international radar in the global com-petition for jobs.

According to estimates from the State Demographer’s Office, the population may have hit the 3 million mark in mid-August, but demographers won’t know for sure un-til next July, said Elizabeth Garner, a state demographer.

In July, the estimated population of the Denver area was 2.951 million people.

“The growth that Colorado is experi-encing right now is not that unusual,” said Garner, reporting an increase of 78,000 people last year compared to 120,000 peo-ple at one time during the 1990s.

Typical or not, local political and busi-ness leaders are taking notice of the popu-lation growth and weighing in about that means for the area.

“It’s a brave new world for us,” said Tom Clark, chief executive of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp. and execu-tive vice president of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.

“At 2 million people, a metropolitan re-gion becomes a perpetual job machine,” he said, citing a study conducted by a re-search economist in the early 1990s.

At the 2 million mark, a city begins to grow its own jobs and becomes self-sustaining, Clark explained. Money stays within the community longer and exits lat-

er while wealth and income tend to go up.But at 3 million, a city or in this case —

a metropolitan area — makes its debut on the world stage.

“Three million begins to put you into a global competition for jobs,” Clark said.

In the past, Colorado’s biggest competi-tors for job locations were Phoenix and Dallas. Today, Colorado’s direct competi-tors to the south are overshadowed by cit-ies much farther away such as Dublin, Sin-gapore and Toronto.

Clark credits transportation build-out, infrastructure and a highly diverse econ-omy for putting the Denver area on the global market. He pinpointed specific ar-eas of the state’s economy that are in line with the U.S. economy — green and fossil energy, health care and wellness, IT, tele-comm, bio-tech, aerospace and financial services.

The Jefferson County Economic Devel-

opment Corporation or Jeffco EDC, is the state’s oldest economic development orga-nization and works closely with businesses and political leaders to build and sustain jobs in the county.

“When we’re seeing that population growth, and we’re seeing that we’re becom-ing a major metropolitan area — and com-panies are recognizing that and wanting to set up shop here or they want to expand out here for existing business that we do have,” said Tom Livingston, economic de-velopment specialist with Jeffco EDC. “We want to make sure that we are able to ac-commodate that growth and there is a lot that goes with that as far as the residential aspect.”

Balancing land use with continued growth will be a challenge in Jeffco where preserving open space is an important as-pect and cultural identifier of the county, County Commissioner Casey Tighe said.

“We just have to be smart about how we grow,” Tighe said.

Urban centers that offer walkability and bike-friendly access in close proxim-

ity to mass transit seem to be the future for urban planning to attract millennials and businesses to the area.

“You’re starting to see that happen-ing, and we’re going to have to see about other locations,” he said, noting cities like Arvada and Lakewood that are building urban centers around train stations along the W Line light rail.

The days of building homes with large backyards are fading away, Tighe said, so it is important to preserve the county’s aging stock to also reinvigorate neighborhoods.

“We still want to give people these op-tions to fit their lifestyles,” he said.

In addition to challenges associated with land use, managing water resources and keeping the air clean will also be part of the balancing act for Jeffco businesses and political leaders.

“We’re going to continue to grow whether we like it or not,” Clark said. “You need to be spending money to take good care of those assets that you don’t get back if you screw them up.”

Riders exit the light rail train for the W line at Wadsworth and Colfax in Lakewood on Friday, Oct. 24. Currently, the light rail supports 83,000 riders for the whole system, 14,000 trips a day for the W line with a projected 600,000 rail trips a day in 2035 once the whole FasTracks program is built out and operating.

A GREAT PLACE TO BEColorado ranked �rst in the country for the lowest

obesity rate.A study released by Trust for America’s Health and

the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation considered adult obesity rates by state and reported that every state had obesity rates above 20 percent. Colorado reported the lowest rate of 21.3 percent.

A recent study by WalletHub ranked Colorado as the fourth happiest state in the country. The study considered 26 key metrics including emotional health, income levels, and sports participation rates. The top three happiest states in order were Utah, Minnesota and North Dakota.

Outside magazine released a ranking of the 100 best companies to work, with 28 of those businesses located in Colorado. Four of the top 10 spots and half of the top 20 were Colorado companies. Sphero, a Boulder-based robotic toy manufacturer, ranked third, the highest spot of all Colorado companies. Also in the top 20 was GroundFloor Media (4th), Zen Planner (6th), New Belgium Brewing (7th), ReadyTalk (11th), Global Works (14th), RoundPegg (15th), Cloud 9 Living (16th), TDA_Boulder (18th), and Adaptive Sports Center (20th).

drop it off to us,” Anderson said. “Certainty, we don’t want folks to mistakenly put their ballot in the U.S. Postal Ser-vice stream on Election Day because we are not going to receive it in time.”

This election marks the start of the county’s new vot-ing system where every eligible voter was set to receive a mail-in ballot automatically.

“Eighty-two percent of us were permanent mail (in 2012), we were pretty much there,” Anderson said.

Critics have pushed back on the change to mail-in vot-ing stating it is unsafe because it allows for opportunities for voter fraud.

“That is typically said by someone who is not aware or hasn’t researched the Colorado process regarding the sig-nature verification and the integrity in it,” Anderson said. “My experience has been it’s very secure, and the process really does evaluate every ballot for its eligibility, and we communicate with voters directly,” she said.

Signatures are verified by computer, and by trained ex-perts to match the current signature on the ballot to voter signatures on record. Red flags are usually raised for first-time voters or young voters who are prone to change their signatures as they try to establish an identity, Anderson said.

Voters of flagged ballots are contacted, and asked about the discrepancy. Those that do not get back to the election’s division regarding discrepancies with their sig-nature, will have their ballot rejected and referred to the District Attorney for investigation. Common issues raised throughout the signature verification process include members of households signing for others.

“People have to sign their own ballots,” Anderson said, and those exercising power of attorney does not apply.

Location for ballot drop off and voter service centers can be found online at www.votejeffco.com or by calling the elections division at 303-271-8111. On Election Day, polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mail-in ballots can be dropped off in person until 7 p.m. on Election Day.


Voter

2015 and then the final phase — which includes work at the Public Safety Center — will begin in 2015.

“Sidewalks and bike paths are one of our most re-quested services and it’s a long-term effort,” he said. “Right now we’re looking at spending $300,000 a year on this through 2017 and then we’ll move to $500,000 a year.”

Hutchison added that there is a one-time addition of $2 million to sidewalks and bike paths, which will be spent on projects in 2015.

Kit Newland, director of Community Resources, up-dated council on many of the projects that have been completed in 2014, including the Lakewood Cultural Center refresh, Mountair Park Farm establishment and Bear Creek Lake Park flood recovery.

During public comment two residents from the Two Creeks neighborhood spoke about the need for side-walks in their area, saying pedestrian travel is particu-larly challenging.

The lone amendment to the budget came from Ward 4 councilman Adam Paul, who wanted to increase the funding for a charitable giving pilot program from $50,000 to $100,000.

“Over the last few years the city has had a tough time with a policy for donating to nonprofits,” he said.

The pilot program would create a committee made up of city council, Lakewood Legacy and community mem-bers to decide where charitable donations from the city should be made.

“We will want to set different priorities each year as to where we give money,” said Mayor Bob Murphy. “Cur-rently we don’t have much justification for who we say yes to and who we say no so this will formalize a plan.”

The amendment passed 10-0.The next council meeting is a study session will be 7

p.m. Monday, Nov. 3, at Civic Center South, 480 S. Allison Parkway.

AN INvITATION TO SHOP LOCALLY THIS HOLIDAY SEASONit’s that wonderful time of year and your local merchants are counting on you to keep your dollars in golden – downtown, in north golden, and South golden, too. it’s crucial to the economic vitality of golden, and it’s a great way to create community and show your support for golden. According to www.civiceconomics.com, “the math for buying close to home is compelling—for every $100 spent at a locally-owned business, $73 remains in the local economy, and $27 leaves. compare that to the same $100 spent at a non-locally owned business, where $43 remains in the local economy and $57 leaves. Recent research from civic Economics indicates that local eateries return nearly 79 percent of revenues to the

community, compared to just over 30 percent for chain restaurants.”
