Aviation event promotes mental health awareness Warbirds over Rockies informative, entertaining By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com Eighteen percent of adults nationwide suffer from some kind of a mental disorder, a number Brian O’Meara and Andrew Romanoff are trying to lower through education —and a little fun. “Mental illness is something as Americans we brush under the carpet, because if it’s not affecting you, it’s easy to ignore,” said O’Meara, organizer of Warbirds over the Rockies, a model aviation event that combines plane modeling with mental health awareness. Held Sept. 11-13 at the Arvada Modelers Airfield, 7608 State Highway 93, Warbirds brings together more than 300 modelers and model aircraft to entertain and educate attendees about modeling, wartime aircraft and mental health issues. “This is a patriotic, educational and entertaining event,” said Romanoff, president and CEO of Mental Health America, the beneficiary of the three-day event. “We have 5 million potential supporters in Colorado — everyone in this state is Event continues on Page 13

First forum held in school board race The recall election of the three majority members on the Jefferson County Board of Education loomed large at the election season’s first candidate forum, as nine of the dozen candidates vying for a seat shared their opinions. “Jeffco Schools has to be the best-performing district in this country and we can make this happen,” said David Hickey, a Lakewood resident attending the forum. “But we have to have the right people at the right time at the right place to make that happen.” The Centennial Institute, a think tank at Colorado Christian University, hosted the Aug. 31 forum, introducing candidates running for the board’s five seats. The recall targets the current board majority: board president Ken Witt, Julie Williams and John Newkirk. The three candidates running to replace the board majority — Susan Harmon, Ron Mitchell and Brad Rupert — did not attend the event. Rupert, Mitchell and Harmon later explained they had scheduling conflicts. “American public education is one of the glories of our free society, our republic that leads the world in so many ways…,” said John Andrews, forum moderator, Centennial Institute director and former Colorado

state senator. “Recent weeks have seen the drama of many thousands of petition signatures well above the required threshold filed asking the board majority to submit to the voters for a recall — that is, you’re fired or an affirmation … So all five director positions are at play.” About 200 people gathered in Colorado Christian University’s Leprino Hall for the forum, the first of several planned throughout the county. “Nothing is more important than the future of our kids,” Lakewood resident Patti Peters said. “As a veteran, we serve and protect our country for the next generation, so we have to serve and empower them to be the best they can be.” The event offered each candidate the chance to provide opening and closing statements, answer two broad questions and answer a series of direct and indirect yes or no questions. Question one was about the current recall election, followed by Jeffco’s achievement gap, funding, Common Core curriculum, assessments, charter schools, sex education, student-based budgeting, seventh- through 12th-grade schools, teacher compensation and retaining the district’s current superintendent, Dan McMinimee.
The Jefferson County Board of Education unanimously selected the Candelas neighborhood as a site for a new school and started the conversation about the district’s next bond issue to build more. “I’m very pleased,” Tim Reed, Jeffco’s executive director of facilities and construction management said following the decision. “It’s encouraging that they’re recognizing that we need to maximize the size and amount of seats we need with the amount of resources we have.” The decision came after a year of district presentations and board discussions Tim Reed, Jeffco’s executive about the overcrowddirector of facilities and ing concerns along the county’s Northconstruction management west Corridor, which generally runs west of Indiana Avenue from Golden to the Jeffco-Boulder county line.

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
JOE PATANE Athletic artist incorporates nature into glass, metal works About me I grew up in Rome, New York, with my sister and my family. I’ve always loved art, and it has been something I wanted to pursue most of my life. But I wasn’t sure what medium would best express my ideas until college. In 2000 I entered Alfred University to pursue art and graphic design and through those courses I found glassblowing. I had really cool teachers and the medium was sweet. Starting out in college, I decided glass was a good source to translate my ideas and to get an audience. I also paint landscapes and space scenes and do metal work for my light sculptures. My inspiration I moved to Dillon, Colorado, in 2009 to pursue glassblowing and go snowboarding on larger mountains than we had back east. I find inspiration through my runs on the mountain. Whether it’s the colors, shapes or views I find those aspects reflect the scenery in my work. For me, it’s about recording what I see or take in while I’m out in the world. That’s what art is. Over the past six years I’ve developed a broad network of clients, collectors and community supporters, which I consider one of my greatest successes. I exhibit my work not only online, but also through commissioned pieces, festivals, art shows, in galleries at Boulder’s 29th Street Mall and at Denver’s Arts District on Santa Fe. I recently moved to Arvada and, while I’m excited to be there, it’s been a challenge moving my studio and trying to maintain my business. Always moving, I find I have a lot of energy to do a variety

Courtesy photo of pieces at the same time. I love being resourceful, creating multiple projects at once and calling it art. In my spare time Outside of my art, I spend time prepping for the winter, hanging out with friends and collecting sunglasses. It’s my something that I collect, — everybody should have a hobby or something to collect and sunglasses are mine. I have a rotating case of 20 pairs, all of which are roughly the same style. Inspired by nature and the world around me, I would tell others that they should always: Stay hungry, Stay foolish and always, always, be dedicated to your craft and keep moving forward.

CASA is there when no one else is Volunteer organization gives support to children in need By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Every week, Jefferson County resident Jill Ross looks forward to her hug from one 14-year-old girl, who has lived in three different homes and had two different guardian ad litems and case workers. But Ross has been there through it all. “And I will be,” she said. “I’m one person making a difference in that 14-year-old girl’s life, when she may think nobody is there for her.” Ross is a Court Appointed Special Advocate or CASA for the 1st Judicial District, which consists of Jefferson and

Gilpin counties. CASAs “are a child’s eyes and ears,” said Leah Varnell, executive director of Jefferson/Gilpin CASA. “They represent the best interest of the child.” CASA is in the process of recruiting new volunteers. Currently, CASA is able to provide support for only 30 percent of cases in court for abused or neglected children, Varnell said. It is important work, she said, and added judges have voiced their desire to have an advocate appointed to every case of abused or neglected children. Many children in the court system have been let down by adults, Varnell said. “Those children need to know that their advocate is someone they can trust.” Only a small part of what advocates CASA continues on Page 5

September’s 5280 Magazine Is Out With Five-Star Professional Insert
Every September I like to remind readers that 5280 does not rate real estate agents the way it does doctors and other professionals. A Minnesota company “nominates” agents with minimum sales and no complaints and then upsells them to buy display space in a paid advertising supplement published by 5280. Any agent who says he or she has been named a 5-Star Professional by 5280 Magazine is bending the truth. .

Residents spend evenings working out at city parks By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com As the sun set behind the trees surrounding Arvada’s Homestead Park, three residents buckled down, ready to break a sweat and work out. “Typically, we start with some warm-ups,” said Rod De Leon, instructor for this evening’s class. Residents Christin Erhart and Amy Winter began warming up their bodies, jogging in place, swiftly moving side to side and doing a series of high-knee runs. Keeping a steady pace, all three prepared their hip, arm and leg muscles for the remainder of the workout. “My legs are already burning,” Erhart said as they did skater-style callisthenic exercises. The workout consisted of repetition of two minutes of calisthenics and two minutes of agility ladder drills. As the two ran through the ladder, the world around them continued to pass by. Neighbors walked their dogs. A young boy slowly rode past on his bike. Citizens watched. “Alright, we’re going to do get-downs and get-ups — which are exactly as they sound,” De Leon said in his best James Brown impression. “I just noticed all my references are from the ’60s and ’70s,” he added. Moving on, the three did “Charlie’s Angels Lunges,” which was one minute of side lunges with straight arms clasped together at the hands. Then it was time for squat jumps. “Oh yes,” Erhart said. “My favorite.” For the next 15 minutes, the women worked out hard: Burpees. Ladder drills. Mountain climbers. More ladder drills. Then, a cool-down stretch and the class was over. And as a cool breeze blew through, Winter said, “We’ll be back tomorrow.”

Each visit with her 14-year-old CASA kid ends with the two setting a date for the next visit. “I make sure she knows when I’ll be back,” Ross said. “And she knows I will honor that.”

Amendment 64 of the Colorado Constitution authorizes recreational use of marijuana, and allows operation facilities for cultivation, manufacturing, testing and retail sales. However, the amendment allows counties to regulate the industry, including banning any of the four operations. In Jefferson County, a moratorium forbidding all commercial marijuana operations ends Jan. 1.
Following the meetings, a decision was made to allow testing facilities in unincorporated Jefferson County, and continue the prohibition of marijuana cultivation and manufacturing facilities, and retail stores.

Staff drafted an ordinance, and the first reading of it took place Sept. 1.
Beginning on May 29, a series of meetings took place, in which county staff informed county commissioners Libby Szabo, Casey Tighe and Don Rosier on all aspects of marijuana, including retail, manufacturing, testing and distribution.

A public hearing on the ordinance is scheduled for 8 a.m. Sept. 22 in Hearing Room 1 of the Jefferson County Administration and Courts Building, 100 Jefferson County Parkway in Golden.

Life is good in Nebraskan hometown Every year about this time, I get a hankering to head “home” to eastern Nebraska. I was born and raised — an ongoing process even now — in Columbus, the county seat of Platte County. Even though I haven’t lived there since 1960 and have no plans to move back, it’s still home. When I was growing up, it was a big deal when we got our first traffic light, and I remember in my very early years the milk was delivered in a horse-drawn vehicle and we had gravel roads. The population was about 10,000, and we thought we lived in a city. The population is now more than double what it was in the olden days, but any way you slice it, it’s still a small town. The trip’s highlight will be spending time at the lake and seeing many of my family members, including two of my great-grandsons. Our mom inherited the farm from her grandfather so the property has been in the family for more than 100 years. There was a very small sandpit where my dad taught the four kids how to fish. We also learned to hunt and shoot guns.
Dad and Mom decided we needed a cabin so a small lumber mill was set up down by the river AROUND where huge cottonwood TOWN trees could be turned into planks for the new building. The lumber was stored in the hayloft of the big barn so it could season, and the next year “we” started building. My two brothers and I “helped” with construction. We actually thought they couldn’t have done it without us. In this age of political correctness and overwhelming concern about children’s safety, my parents would surely be reported to child protective services. We climbed on scaffolds, on the roof and even in the rafters of the cabin, which had a cement floor. One of our favorite things was to hang from the rafters and drop to the beds below. Our parents had the sandpit expanded over the years, and I think it now covers about 80 acres. It’s a beautiful lake with peninsulas, coves, islands and huge trees.
Harriet Hunter Ford
My brother — who along with my sisterin-law still live on the farm —and my sister now own the farm and lake and generously share it with me and my family, who all look forward to visiting at least once a year. Another lake is being created with a third to follow at some point in the future. My sister and her family have built a large boat house and are restoring the cabin which hadn’t been updated since it was built. In addition to lots of very good fishing, we will spend time boating, water skiing, wake boarding, swimming, having fish fries and bonfires, visiting, eating, playing games and enjoying being with people we love. Many family members will be camping out. I will not be among them. My Girl Scout days are behind me and I consider “roughing it” to be staying at the local Ramada. Life is good. It just doesn’t get any better than that. Columnist Harriet Hunter Ford may be reached at hhunterford@gmail.com.

Setting boundaries vs. building a wall Dear Neil: We have been married for over 25 years. On occasion my husband has verbally scolded me in front of other people socially. I’ve also received verbal put-downs in front of our children and their partners. He chooses to mix with others at social functions, especially attractive women. Is this just bad manners, or does he lack respect for me? Feeling Disrespected in New Zealand Dear Neil: I have a husband that seems frustrated and angry when I express my feelings. He tells me he is never allowed to express his, but all his feelings come out in anger. Unable to Express Myself in Iowa Dear Iowa and New Zealand: You need to sit your respective husbands down and have a very sober talk with them. An intimate relationship requires you to be able to express your feelings. If you don’t, your relationship ceases to be intimate. You need to tell your husbands that you’re getting hurt by their behaviors, and you need some changes in your marriage. I would recommend you ask them what is disturbing them about you and/or about
the relationship. See if you can encourage talk about the deeper reasons he is upset or resentful toward you. Clearly something is disturbing each of these men. Have you offended him? Rejected him? Do you act defensive or dismiss what he Neil Rosenthal says, so he has become afraid to express SOUND his feelings to you? ADVICE Is he angry with you? Have you hurt him? After your respective husbands address these issues, you need to create an agreement that changes the way the two of you interact—together and with others. This is going to require you to set firm boundaries on what your husband can and cannot say publicly, as well as the need to regularly and privately air grievances you have with each other, so they can be talked about and hopefully solved or resolved between the two of you. It is also appropriate to talk about consequences for failing to live up to these
agreements, and consequences can include having a wandering eye. I am saying you must communicate the behaviors that you will not tolerate, and you must create boundaries by setting limits on what is and is not acceptable behavior—alone and around others. You are getting what you have permitted by not standing up for how you want to be treated. We teach people about our boundaries by how we allow them to treat us. If we don’t create these boundaries, we allow somebody else to use behaviors that are hurtful and insulting to us. And if you don’t set effective boundaries, you’re going to build up a wall to protect yourself. If you do that, you can stay married, but you will no longer be in an intimate relationship. Neil Rosenthal is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Westminster. His column is in its 24th year of publication, and is syndicated around the world. You can reach him at 303-758-8777, or email him through his website: www.heartrelationships.com. He is the author of the new book: “Love, Sex and Staying Warm: Keeping the Flame Alive.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Re-elect Mark McGoff have known Mark McGoff since we both served as chairs of Arvada Jefferson Kiwanis. I was president in 2001-2002 and Mark followed the next year 20022003. We have seen each other at our AJK weekly breakfast meeting virtually every week since that time. I feel that Mark has done a very good job during his first terms as a council person. He is smart, compassionate, has a good grasp of the issues and is dedicated to seeing that Arvada continues to be a great place to live. As a retired member of the Arvada community, he devotes a good deal of his time and energy to the city council and the hard work needed to be an effective leader. Mark will certainly get my vote. Please help us re-elect Mark McGoff. A. Clark Tuck, Arvada Vote no on recall Some points about the disingenuous-
ness from the pro-recall supporters ... As soon as the Democrats and liberals lost the election to the three current board members they started waging war. Witt, Newkirk and Williams are Republicans who wanted more school choice, teacher accountability and improving education. The teachers’ union and its allies want total control over a school board they can control and get what they want. It is a partisan issue, don’t let the recall supporters tell you otherwise. Remember, the recall supporters are the same people who supported the teachers doing their “sick out” that led to our students losing some of their education. They also supported the students leaving class, staging demonstrations and the like — leaving other students to miss out on education. Do we want the people who support this recall running our entire school system? We don’t need a board that is subservient to the teachers’ union; we need checks and balances. They talk about the
board members getting money from the Koch brothers. Give me a break. Different organizations have popped up to support the recall funded by national, state and local teachers’ unions. They didn’t raise all that money from “bake sales and T-shirt sales,” baloney. Don’t listen to the pontificating on the recall side, they are not innocent and unbiased, they just say they are. They helped to bring Jeffco schools down over the past decades and we should ask ourselves, why do we want to go back? Vote no for the recall. David Albertsen, Arvada Downsides to Iran deal The article on Congressman Perlmutter and the Iran treaty (Sept. 3) seems to have left out the opposing view. Does anyone seriously believe the only alternative to the treaty is war? This is a severely flawed treaty which discounts the ability of the United States to verify the conditions of the treaty. Iran continues to act against the United States on several
fronts. Is this really a country we can trust? Is it really credible to think that such a bad treaty is better than no treaty? This treaty was completed just for the sake of completing a treaty. Isn’t the fact that Iran is reacting so strongly against the sanctions evidence that the sanctions are actually working? Isn’t a viable alternative to the bad treaty more and stronger sanctions? The fact that so many military and veterans groups are against this treaty should give us reason to believe that those with a firsthand knowledge of Iran have good reason to oppose the treaty. If we cannot produce a treaty/agreement that will really stop Iran from gaining nuclear capability why have a treaty at all? It is gratifying to see that our local paper is connecting national and local news. Bill Hineser, Arvada
Conservation fund has saved special places An overwhelming majority of Coloradans agree that protecting our watersheds, preserving our natural resources and conserving our priceless public lands are not only important for our health and environment, but also for our state’s thriving outdoor economy. We were recently reminded of the incredible beauty and value of our land at the Tolland Ranch Property we visited last month. In a field near South Boulder Creek, we joined members of the local community to celebrate the designation of a 3,300-acre conservation easement, the centerpiece of a 4,700-acre project to preserve the property. This project on the Toll family land — which they have owned for more than 120 years — was a top priority for the U.S. Forest Service. It ensures that water supplies to Denver and Boulder remain healthy, that the scenic landscape remains unchanged, that a diversity of wildlife continues to inhabit the entire area, and that the world-class Nordic trails on the property remain accessible to the public.
The South Boulder Creek Project is a shining example of what can be done to protect our watersheds and public lands when private landowners, conservationists and federal, state and local governU.S. Sen. ments join forces. And this project Michael Bennet and others like it GUEST could not have been completed withCOLUMN out federal dollars from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). The LWCF operates under a simple concept that has endured for half a century. The fund reinvests a small portion of the royalties from offshore oil and gas drilling to permanently conserve our land and water. The program doesn’t use a dime of taxpayer money. It’s hard to imagine what the Ameri-
can landscape might look like today if the LWCF had not been established 50 years ago. Colorado has received more than $230 million in LWCF funding that has been used to preserve areas like the Ophir Valley in the San Juans and Little Echo Lake in Gilpin County, as well as treasures like the Great Sand Dunes and Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s also been used to create and maintain local parks, urban nature areas and state parks. Following flooding in 2013, LWCF state assistance grants were used to help with recovery efforts like rebuilding the St. Vrain River corridor. The conservation of these public lands has also contributed greatly to our outdoor recreation economy, which generates $13.2 billion in consumer spending, supports 125,000 jobs and produces $994 million annually in tax revenue. Unfortunately, the LWCF is set to expire at the end of September, putting
projects like the one we celebrated last month and others across the state in jeopardy. We’re continuing to fight for the LWCF in the Senate and have sponsored several measures to reauthorize the fund and to fully fund it — which has only happened once since the LWCF was created. In Colorado and Washington, D.C., we have broad bipartisan support for the LWCF, and we will continue to be a strong voice for protecting it. We owe it to future generations to leave our parks and public lands better than we found them and to impart the lessons of conservation and stewardship onto our kids and grandkids. The LWCF is our most effective tool to do that, and we are committed to ensuring our children can enjoy the benefits of this fund for the next 50 years. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.
Support for GLBTQ teens saves lives September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. While suicide often catches surviving family members and friends by surprise, a lot of scientific research exists about the causes and deterrents of suicide. Knowledge makes a difference and saves lives. In addition to the immense pressure that typical adolescents face as they transition into adulthood, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (GLBTQ) youth have an extra burden concerning whether or not they will be accepted by their peers, family and community based on their gender identity and/or sexual orientation. According to the Centers for Disease Control, GLBTQ adolescents attempt suicide at more than twice the rate of their heterosexual peers – partly due to more frequent episodes of bullying, violence, and rejection. Subjection to homophobia can traumatize a young person, leaving her or him susceptible to feelings of hopelessness and despair, and increase the likelihood of turning to suicide as a perceived solution to an overwhelming problem. Two main areas have been identified as key possible locations for GLBTQ teenagers to increase their self-esteem, cultivate protective factors and build a sense of resiliency: schools and family. Because schools play a significant role in most teenagers’ lives, schools that acknowledge the reality of the unique struggles faced by GLBTQ youth can create an environment where GLBTQ students are at lower risk for depression and suicide. Strategies for creating this “safe space” include allowing student-led clubs that welcome all students, implementing training for school staff, and providing students with access to gender and sexual orientation-specific health information. Alongside the school environment, the family’s response to their GLBTQ teen-
ager’s identity and experiences can have an enormous impact GUEST on their emotional COLUMN well-being and sense of safety. Parents who foster an environment of open communication in which their child can discuss issues regarding sexuality, peer interactions and gender identity help to make their teenager feel safe, protected and accepted. Both schools and families can play a significant role in addressing feelings of despair and suicidal urges. To learn more about the prevention of suicide among GLBTQ adolescents, visit The Trevor Project website at www. thetrevorproject.org/ or call the Trevor Lifeline (866-488-7386). The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning young people ages 13-24. Community Reach Center provides supportive evidence-based counseling services for all ages, with therapists on staff who have particular expertise in emotional/behavioral health issues related to gender identity and sexual orientation. In Colorado, a young person may consent to treatment on his or her own once they reach the age of 15 years. Anyone feeling unsafe or experiencing extreme emotional distress can call Colorado Crisis Services at 1-844493-TALK (8255) anytime and talk to a licensed therapist or peer counselor. Visit www.ColoradoCrisisServices.org to find the mental health walk-in crisis center nearest you. Community Reach Center staffs the Colorado Crisis Services walk-in center at the 84th Avenue Neighborhood Health Center, formerly the site of St. Anthony North Hospital in Westminster.

no Arvada’s Scrumptious features a recipe book of more than 500 flavors of ice cream, and offerings change on a daily basis.

scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. But what kind? When craving a frozen treat, there aren’t just flavors to consider: Does old-fashioned ice cream sound best? What about frozen yogurt, where customers can build their own dream sundae out of dozens of toppings and flavors? Craving something more decadent? There’s gelato, too. In the same way coffee shops and breweries have proliferated with a variety of deviations and approaches to their products, ice cream has taken on new meanings. For some, it might be one — or all — of the above varieties and could also include classics like Dairy Queen’s soft serve. It’s a growing industry, and businesspeople and artisans alike have found success in diversity. “There’s something about the instant gratification aspect of frozen yogurt,” said Brandon Narva, co-owner of Goozell Yogurt & Coffee in Golden. “I came from a tech background, where it takes so long for a product to be ready. Here, people are able to walk out immediately happy.” For Scott Spears, co-owner of Arvada’s Scrumptious, the fun comes in experimenting with ingredients to come up with the perfect taste. “We have to make ice cream five times a week in the summer, so we’re making around 117.5 gallons a day,” he said. “We have the base for ice cream, and then we get to play around and try different combinations of ingredients.” Here are just a few of the many varieties of frozen treats around and a little about the businesses.

The business: Goozell Yogurt is a premium selfserve frozen yogurt bar named for the Turkish word “Güzel” (pronounced `goo-zel’), meaning “beautiful.” Yogurt is Turkish in origin, and owner Brandon Narva said the history of yogurt can be traced back to 2000 BC central Asian Turkic-Mongol tribes.
The business: According to the company’s website, Paciugo was founded by Cristiana Ginatta based on her memories of her grandfather’s handmade gelato. Inspired by her time in Italy, Cristiana and her husband, Ugo, and their son, Vincenzo, moved to Dallas and started the company there.
The business: Scrumptious specializes in classic, hand-scooped ice cream. The base for the ice cream is 14 percent dairy mix, and staff uses its own creativity to create a kaleidoscope of unique flavors. Co-owner Scott Spears estimates Scrumptious’ recipe book has more than 500 flavors.
“Quality is our No. 1 concern, and it’s all the little details that make us special,” he said. “We get more compliments on our staff than anything. They are all well-educated young people that want to succeed.”
An Italian dessert gelati and sorbetti at Paciugo are made the traditional Italian way, with fruits and allnatural ingredients.
Goozell offers catering for special events as well. The flavors: Varies based on season and availability, but standards include Mediterranean Mango, Istanbul Cheesecake and Goozell Tart.
The flavors: Wide variety, including Cheesecake Crunchy Chocolate Swirl and Peanut Butter Raspberry Swirl.

“We love Olde Town and Arvada as a whole,” he said. “We’re not a kid-centric store. We’re a place that kids are going to come to, but adults also can feel comfortable spending time here.” In addition to purchasing ice cream by the scoop, customers can special order their favorite flavors in 1- and 2 1/2-gallons amounts. The flavors: Changes on a daily basis, and Spears said of the 24 flavors each day, only four stay the same. Always a new experience.

Sad news It grieves me to my very soul to have to report the death of Michael “Mike” Gaughan, chairman and co-founder of MGA Communications, one of the primo PR firms in Denver. He died Sept. 1 from complications from surgery. He was 77. Mike, who has been with his life and business partner Jeff Julin forever, was a beloved friend of mine. Mike, Jeff and a guest and I would go to dinner quarterly at Barolo Grill, and have such a great time
eating numerous courses and drinking vodka. He had had some health scares, but always roared back. This time he lost the battle. I am so sad. From his official obituary: “Mike will tell you his career really Penny Parker began when he was hired at the age of MILE HIGH 15 as a marquee LIFE boy for the Dundee Theatre in Omaha. From that humble beginning, Mike rose in the ranks of the theater chain until he was promoted and became responsible for all advertising and marketing for the circuit. In the mid-’80s Mike founded his own public relations firm which has morphed into MGA Communications.” Coda Coffee opening in Edgewater Coda Coffee, a certified B Corp company that focuses on social responsibility and sustainable business practices, will open its first retail location this month at 5224 W. 25th Ave. in Edgewater. Coda Coffee, which brothers Tim and Tommy Thwaites started in 2005, is a local, wholesale coffee company fueled by a passion for great coffee and worldly
do-gooding. “Our dreams are becoming reality and we’re so excited to open our very first storefront. It will give people an easy way to learn more about us and the farmers who produce our coffee,” Tim said. “It’ll also help bring a craft feel to the world of coffee because, just like beer, the world of coffee has a very unique art to it that we’re passionate about and look forward to sharing.” Coda Coffee’s grand opening takes place from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sept. 18. The first 25 people through the door receive a Coda Coffee travel mug and a $75 gift card for drinks at Coda’s coffee shop, drawings to win a French press and Coda Coffee swag, including travel mugs and tumblers.

Fever all through the night Arvada Center opens season with disco classic
IF YOU GO WHAT: “Saturday Night Fever”
By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com
WHERE: Arvada Center
“Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk I’m a woman’s man, no time to talk.” Few characters have been as clearly defined by song lyrics as Tony Manero, the conflicted dancer at the center of the classic story “Saturday Night Fever.” Now, Tony’s story comes to vivid, danceable life in the Arvada Center’s season-opening production of the show. “This show allows people to escape for a night,” said Ian Campayno, who plays Tony. “You’re going to feel like you jumped in a time machine, and you’re going to love it.” “Saturday Night Fever” runs at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through Oct. 4. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. Wednesday, and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. “I looked at the film, but didn’t want to do the same things it had already done,” said director Rod A. Lansberry. “We wanted to keep the depth and personal relationships, while featuring more dance numbers and more of the atmosphere of the time.” The show, based on the Paramount/ RSO film, follows Tony through 1977 Brooklyn, a time when disco was the name of the game and Tony was at the top of his. As long as he stays in the club, that is. Off
WHEN: Through Oct. 4
6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada Tuesday - Saturday - 7:30 p.m. Wednesday - 1 p.m. Saturday - Sunday - 2 p.m. COST: $53 - $75 INFORMATION: 720-898-7200 or www. arvadacenter.org
the dance floor, he has trouble finding his place, something he has in common with Stephanie Mangano (McKayla Marso). She’s a dancer who left Brooklyn behind for upscale Manhattan, but finds herself lost in a whole new crowd of people. “She has the opposite problem of Tony, but they are both able to learn a lot from each other,” Marso said. “They learn that it’s okay to have a part of where you’re from with you all the time, while recognizing you’re more than where you’re from.” While so much of people’s memory of the movie is music and dancing, the move only features a few dancing scenes. It was choreographer Kitty Skillman Hilsabeck’s job to change that for the stage, and she took a very organic approach to the process.
Ian Campayno, who plays Tony in the play “Saturday Night Fever,” partners with McKayla Marso, playing the role of Stephanie. Courtesy photo “Disco is still the focus, and I wanted to bring in a little bit of musical theater to it,” she said. “It’s been a challenge, because we want the dance to be part of the story — you don’t want people to just stop and watch a dance number. The dancing has been very athletic, and very fun.” The show’s music, courtesy of the Bee Gees, is infectious and a blast, according to Sarah Rex, who plays club singer Candy. “It’s just fun,” she said. “It really appeals to all tastes — I put it on in my car, and my kids just sing along.”
Ultimately, the dancing, music and costumes are all in service of building dynamic characters that people really care about — something that goes deeper than the film. “The show has more heart, and is more emotionally based than the movie was,” Lansberry said. “It draws the audience in with all the character work, and keeps them entertained with the music and dance.” For more information, call 720-8987200 or visit www.arvadacenter.org.

along the corridor in unincorporated Jeffco. The Leyden Rock community, also in Arvada, lies between Candelas and Table Rock. The district had initially considered Table Rock because it said it would be the largest school it could construct with the $18 million allocated for the building. Parents preferred either Leyden Rock or Candelas because those sites were closer to the overcrowded schools. The Candelas site, north of 82nd Avenue

affected by this issue.” O’Meara and Romanoff — whose lives have been touched by suicide, dementia and Alzheimer ‘s disease — said their goal is to reduce the stigma around mental health and to bring light to the cause and to the work being done to increase resources and help for those dealing with a mental health illness. “We ought to be declaring war on mental illness,” Romanoff said. “I know we are not going to prevent every suicide, but we have got to reduce the number.” In its 12th year, Warbirds over the Rockies features an array of specialty model aircraft. Attendees can expect to see various sizes and styles of handmade wartime model airplanes — from a World War II P-51 Mustang to a Waco biplane — soaring through the sky. Along with plane exhibitions, the event will have a variety of modeling equip-

The building will either be either a K-6 or a K-8, a decision to be made by the board in coming weeks. “It troubles me greatly for our students if we end up with a scenario where we have K-6 students who then have to matriculate to a K-8 for their seven-eight years and join a cohort that’s already been together for six years,” board president Ken Witt said during the meeting about the grade configuration of the possible Leyden Rock and Candelas sites. “I would much rather see us do K-6s in that environment and have the solution to make certain that we’re not joining long cohorts with short cohorts
ment and toy vendors as well as a daily air show with a history of military aviation and battle simulations. For Ted Hughes, president of Arvada Associated Modelers, this event is distinctive. “There are very few places you can fly planes of this size, speed and technology, and you can do that here,” he said. “You’re going to see some of the best planes and the best pilots in the world out here.” Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased via www.warbirdsovertherockies.com. “Anyone who loves an airplane and loves excitement will love this event,” O’Meara said. Money raised will go to expand Mental Health America of Colorado’s educational programs, building a network of care providers and increasing advocacy. Romanoff and his team will be available to provide information about the organization, mental health statistics and available resources.
and causing difficulties for those students.” Members on all sides of the board table agreed to revisit grade configurations before making a decision. A K-6 elementary school, a separate seven-eight middle school or a K-8 school are possible on the site. “I’m just skeptical,” said Darcie Bolton Weiser, a Meiklejohn parent. “I don’t know what they (the board majority) are going to try and pull at the next meeting. On the other hand, I do see progress here. We see something happening in our community, something that we — the parents — have been asking for, for a long, long time. So it is encouraging to see that moving forward.” The board also voted unanimously to
start working on a bond issue to fund the creation of other schools in the Leyden Rock and Table Rock areas, pay for the remainder of the Sierra Elementary School project and add a third wing onto Ralston Valley High School and other immediate facilities’ needs. Planning and construction for the school will begin later this fall, with a targeted opening date of fall 2017. “We have a need for a K-8 at that site — the site can accommodate that — and I want to see the most bang for our buck,” Bolton Weiser said. “I would be happy with a K-6, but I think there’s a lot that remains to be seen … There’s so much still that needs to be addressed, but this is a step forward.”

Big plays help Pomona topple Valor Christian Borghi does it all in Panthers’ 28-14 win By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Game summary: Pomona coach Jay Madden let his players celebrate after the Panthers’ 28-14 win over Valor Christian, but he couldn’t help looking ahead. “We get to try again next week against the defending state champions, so it doesn’t get any easier,” he said referring to the Panthers’ Sept. 11 home game against Cherry Creek. Pomona, ranked third in the CHSAANow.com poll, was outgained 328-209 in total offense by top-ranked Valor, but the Panthers made the big plays needed to pull off the upset. “Without penalties we could have scored a couple more touchdowns,” added Madden. “We played as hard as we could, and the kids made some incredible great plays.” Sophomore Max Borghi saw limited action in the second half because he was suffering from dehydration, but still came up some of the game’s vital plays. Key moments: Valor Christian was starting to get in the flow offensively in the fourth quarter and scored with 11:28 remaining in the game

Borghi muzzled the Eagles’ comeback hopes by taking the ensuing kickoff and racing 91 yards for a touchdown to give the Panthers a three-TD advantage. “Yeah I wasn’t feeling well,” admitted Borghi. “After that touchdown run, I went and threw up five or six times.”
Key players/statistics: Borghi, who had a 39-yard punt return and a 34-yard run to set up Pomona’s first touchdown, finished with 97 yards rushing on 10 carries. He also handled the Panthers kickoff chores, caught two passes and had the key 91-yard kickoff return. “He’s really, really good,” Valor coach Rod Sherman said of Borghi. “ I thought he
was the best player on the field. I though their right tackle (junior Jake Moretti) was the best linemen on the field. So when you have the best skill player and the best lineman on the field, that can be some trouble. “ One of Borghi’s biggest plays came in Pomona continues on Page 19

the first quarter with the game scoreless after Valor had missed a 33-yard field goal attempt. A snap from punt formation at the 38-yard line sailed over his head. Borghi scrambled back, picked up the ball inside the Panthers’ 5-yard line and got off the punt, which was credited as a 42-yarder as Valor took over at its own 20yard line. Junior Cameron Gonzalez, who was on the field for every play of the game, scored three touchdowns and intercepted a pass late in the game.

They said it: “It was an amazing win,” said Gonzalez. “It was the first game of the season against one of the best teams over the past five or six years. It wasn’t just me. Max Borghi had a couple big plays, our line stepped up our defense played great. I ran as hard as I could.” “In the second half we were able to sustain some drives, helped our defense out by getting them off the field and but then they were able to respond,” said Sherman. “When we went three and out we put our defense right back on the field . They were just too big and physical up front.” Going forward: Pomona was reminded by Madden after the team’s celebrations concluded that the Panthers host second-ranked Cherry Creek Sept. 11.
