Perlmutter seizes fourth term Incumbent fends off a neighborhood challenge By Glenn Wallace gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com Voters in Jefferson and Adams counties granted the 7th Congressional District incumbent, Democrat Ed Perlmutter, a fourth term in congress Tuesday, by a 13-point margin over Republican rival Joe Coors. “We did just about everything we could to get our message out in mail and TV,” Perlmutter said Tuesday. “When you run against someone as well known as Coors, with his kind of resources, it makes it a formidable race.” The Coors campaign manager Michelle Yi reported that Coors gave his concession speech shortly before 10 p.m., and called Perlmutter to congratulate him. “We ran a spirited campaign. Joe thanked everyone for their support and
voting with their hearts,” Yi said. Coors is the great-grandson of brewery founder Adolph Coors. His first political ads of the season introduced himself to voters by saying that he was not a beer. He is the former CEO of CoorTek, an international ceramic manufacturing company. As the Republican Party candidate, he ran on a business-friendly platform, criticizing Perlmutter about his support of the 2008 stimulus package and the Affordable Care Act. His brother Pete Coors made an unsuccessful run for senate in 2004. Yi said Coors would take things “one day at a time,” when asked what his future plans might be. Perlmutter, 59, is a lawyer by trade. He had previously served two four-year terms representing Jefferson County in the State Senate. Perlmutter said his major goals after re-election included seeing the Aurora VA Hospital completed, and extending the wind energy tax credit. “The main thing is that I continue to
work with Democrats and Republicans to move this country forward.” American Constitution candidate Douglas “Dayhorse” Campbell and Libertarian candidate Buck Bailey both earned around 3 percent of the vote. Bailey said he was disappointed that third party candidates were not invited to candidate debates, like they were two years ago, when he also ran. “Well, I don’t know about (running) next time around. It really comes down to the big money, and not having to work for a living while you campaign,” Bailey said. Combined, the top two candidates spent more than $6.8 million. Much of the money in this race has gone toward a flurry of TV ads from both sides. Perlmutter’s campaign received high marks from ad watchers for an ad featuring a retired Navy SEAL and his wife. The Perlmutter camp also inadvertently provided the footage for the Coors campaign’s funniest ad. Outtakes from a Perlmutter ad were posted to YouTube,
allowing Coors staffers to add a sarcastic voiceover and captions. Coors began the televised portion of his campaign early with his “Not a beer” ad campaign. One attack ad by Coors, which criticized Perlmutter for his ex-wife’s participation in lobbying for Solyndra, was named one of the five worst political ads of campaign season by USA Today. The Coors and Perlmutter families have a long history as neighbors in the Applewood neighborhood of Congressional District 7. Coors and Perlmutter’s father were next-door neighbors for years. Perlmutter hired one of Coors daughters to his law firm. When asked if the mudslinging in the campaign may have done permanent damage to the relationship, Perlmutter said he didn’t think so. “Come tomorrow we’ll each shake it off. We’ll still be neighbors. I waved at Joe driving down his street the other day, and he waved back.”
Voters approve school funding Ballot questions 3A, 3B pass By Cassie Monroe
cmonroe@ourcoloradonews. com Shouts of joy echoed through Chad’s Grill in Lakewood on Tuesday night at the Jeffco schools watch party as 3A and 3B supporters celebrated their victory. ”I’m trying to keep from crying,” Superintendent Cindy Stevenson said. “I am just ecstatic.”
The property tax increase will help supplement budget cuts of $45 million for the 2013-14 school year. Results Tuesday night indicated Question 3A passed 151,829 to 110,189, and Question 3B passed 141,562 to 119,298. “We’ll be able to sustain our traditions of excellence, and support our teachers,” Stevenson said. The bond and mill levy will

help make up for the decrease in state education funding per student which dropped from $7,070 in 2009-10 to $6,309 in 2012-13. The $39 million mill levy override, known as 3A, will be used for day-to-day operations, educational programs, maintenance, salaries and supplies. The $99 million bond package, 3B, will support capital projects, such as buildings, repairs and renovations. In order to fund the increases, the average homeowner in the county would pay about $14.76 per year per $100,000 in assessed value. For the average Jeffco homeowner, this would be about $3.06 per month. Board of Education President Lesley Dahlkemper said those at

the watch party were celebrating keeping instrumental music, outdoor lab education and other programs on Tuesday night. “Voters said, ‘We support our schools and our kids in Jeffco,’” Dahlkemper said. The majority of Jefferson County Board of Education members have been in support of the tax increases, and only board member Laura Boggs was opposed. Citizens for Jeffco Schools codirector, Kelly Johnson, said the group was in support of the bond and mill levy because they will strengthen the district by providing an educated workforce, attracting business and maintaining property values. “I have been on pins and needles wondering what kind of Jeffco we’re going to have,” Johnson said. She said the ballot measures will help maintain 600 jobs in the schools, the district will
not have to use furlough days and critical repairs needed in the schools will be made. “It’s been really, really hard, but what I will say is that Jeffco has people in every neighborhood and every school that are willing to sacrifice to make something like this happen,” Johnson said. The opposing side, represented by Jeffco Students First, says schools do not need extra funding to operate. Representatives of the group of stated it is unfair for the district to ask for increased funding from taxpayers, and they should use the funds they already have more efficiently. The last time voters passed a bond and mill levy was in 2004. Jeffco residents approved a $38.5 million mill levy increase and a $324 million bond issue, but said no to another request in 2008 for a $32 million mill levy increase and a

Marijuana to be legalized Amendment passes with more than 50 percent By Clarke Reader creader@ourcoloradonews.com Amendment 64 to allow recreational use of marijuana passed as of press time. The measure passed with 52.66 percent (or 136,501 votes) in Jefferson County and 53.68 percent (or 56,171 votes) in Adams County. The state count was 810,740 in favor to 729,655 opposed Tuesday evening. The passage makes Colorado one of the first states to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. Amendment 64 amends
the state’s constitution to allow for the growth, transport and sale of marijuana, as well as allow the establishment of retail stores, growing and manufacturing facilities. Marijuana will be regulated in a very similar way to alcohol. Possession, use and limited-home growing would be legal for residents 21 years old and older, and the system for regulation and tax would be near what the system for alcohol is. There is no change to DUI or employment policies, and stores selling marijuana could still be prohibited by localities. There is concern that the amendment conflicts with federal law. Since federal law still bans the production, transporta-
tion and distribution of marijuana, users need to understand the what they can and cannot do according to federal law. “The federal government has largely respected our current medical marijuana rules, and we’re hoping they will respect our current efforts,” said Mason Tvert, the “Yes on 64” campaign co-director. Colorado voters approved the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes in 2000. Supporters for the adoption of Amendment 64 include former congressman Tom Tancredo, Doug K. Wilson, Colorado State Public Defender, the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado, the National Latino Officers Association and Blacks

in Law Enforcement of America. “Marijuana prohibition has been a failure and Colorado voters are looking to move forward,” Tvert said. “The support for the amendment really spans the spectrum and we’ve seen growing support among all walks of life.” Those who rallied against the amendment included Gov. John Hickenlooper, Speaker of the House Frank McNulty, the County Sheriffs of Colorado and the Colorado Education Association. There will be a 30-day period for the amendment to be verified, and then, according to Tvert, it will be up to the Legislature to come up with the rules and regulations of the growing and selling of marijuana.

sure those changes don’t make things too inconvenient for riders. “I want to make sure there is efficiency in utilizing our resources,” he said. “I’d like to examine more fare structures, and the implications of a flat fare system would be,” he said. For Menten, the main purpose of RTD is to provide transport for those who need it. “As an RTD director, I see my job as representing the entire metro area, not just this district,” she said. “I want to make sure RTD is providing more customer service for taxpayers.” Menten said the things she enjoys working on most are issues that affect people the most, like the elimination of Lakewood’s recently passed grocery tax. Her passion is property rights, and that is an issue she will continue to work on.

The race between incumbent Matt Cohen and Natalie Menten for the Regional Transportation District board of directors seat for District M is too close to call as of press time. Cohen tallied 49.91 percent (or 31,037 votes) to Menten’s 50.09 percent (or 31,152 votes). Menten said that the race is extremely close, especially considering the size of the district. District M encompasses most of Lakewood, Golden and Wheat Ridge. Cohen was elected to the board in 2008, and has worked as a real estate broker for nearly a decade. Menten has been working in different areas of politics — at the city, county and special district levels — since the 1990s. Cohen was not available for comment at press time, but in a previous interview, said “My mantra is to always make transit easier to use. Predictability and reliability of service are key for any transit system.” One of Cohen’s key areas of focus is assisting in making the light rail transition from the construction to operational phase as smooth as possible. He said people can expect some growing pains and changes in the operating services of buses in the area, but he wants to make

HOUSE DISTRICT 24
cmonroe@ourcoloradonews.com State Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge, won the election Tuesday night for state House District 24, against Republican E.V. Leyendecker and Libertarian Christian Althen. S h e thanked her volunteers for all their support in the c a m p a i g n Schafer over the past several months. “We earned it, we didn’t just win it,” Schafer said. “No one just hands it to you.” Schafer has held the seat since 2008. She taught in Denver Public Schools, counseled high school and community college students and served as the curriculum director and accreditation manager at the Colorado Department of Education for 20 years. She said her experience in education has made the issues of affordable higher education and K-12 funding a major priority for her. “We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Schafer said. As soon as the next legislative session begins Schafer plans to address issues of keeping college tuition affordable, increasing funding for K-12, maintaining

funding for Medicaid, protecting the Affordable Care Act, make reporting of elder abuse mandatory and increase incentives for businesses to come to Colorado. Schafer said her initial reaction to the numbers was shock, because she wasn’t sure how the unaffiliated voters would go. Schafer is the mother of two married daughters, and has two grandchildren. She volunteers and advocates for the West Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise Wheat Ridge, the League of Women Voters, Human Rights Campaign and the Wheat Ridge Congregational Church. In 2012, Schafer was honored by the Economic Development Council as Colorado Legislator of the Year.
The race for Jefferson County Commissioner for District 2 came down to the wire Tuesday night, with appointed incumbent John Odom slightly leading challenger Casey Tighe as of press time. The Republican Odom was appointed to the Board of County Commissioners in March 2011 after former District 2 Commissioner Kevin McCasky stepped down amidst ethics complaints. A former audit director for CDOT, and chair of the Jefferson County Audit Committee, Tighe said he was thankful for the assistance and support he received in his first run for public office, and said the experi-

tion. And if I win I hope I live up to their expectations,” Tighe said. Odom, who could not be reached before press time, is a lifelong resident of Jefferson County and holds a master’s degree in international trade. He helped introduce Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney earlier this year, during a campaign stop at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. Fellow Jeffco Commissioner Faye Griffin was unopposed and won re-election for District 1. Also unopposed was District Attorney Candidate Pete Weir. He steps into the office vacated by Jeffco DA Scott Storey, who was term limited. Both Republican candidates said they felt appreciative for getting to run unopposed. “I will keep the future of Jefferson County in mind with every vote, and I’ll continue to do the best I can,” Griffin said.

next to the mother’s tail and the other on the verge of venturing away. “I love doing this,” Bonnie said. She explained there were a few times when she would get stressed about finishing the statue, but said you forget all about that “when you’re in the process and sculpting.” Creating this bronze sculpture requires about six months of work, and several steps of planning. From the sketch Bonnie was able to create a maquette, or miniature framework clay sculpture, which is also for sale in bronze for about $140. A skeletal frame of metal and plastic is used to layer the clay to create the life size model. Once Bonnie had fin-
creatures are constantly spotted prowling the city, but later this month one will be permanently affixed in front of City Hall. The Wheat Ridge Art Council has worked for the past five years to save up enough money to purchase a statue to give to the city. Naturally, they chose the fox as the subject. Members of the art council decided to commission Jim and Bonnie Dickson, owners of Century Bronze Art in Golden, to create the fox statue. Bonnie Dickson began sketching possible sculptures for the council, and presented a few ideas to the members. The sculpture includes a mother fox with her two kits, one curled up safe
ished detailing the foxes just right, she created a rubber cast of the clay model. Next she poured wax into the rubber cast and recreated the clay statue as wax. To see photos of the sculpting process visit www.behance.net/bonart. The wax model was then sent to a bronze foundry, MADD CASTINGS in Berthoud. Robert “Moose” Gugelman, bronze founder, poured a ceramic liquid over the wax statue and fired it in a kiln. Once fired, the wax melts out and what remains is a ceramic shell capable of withstanding the scalding temperatures of molten bronze. After the bronze has
cooled in the ceramic shell, the shell is broken away with hammers and what started as a clay model is now a bronze statue. The finished statue is then sent back to Jim and Bonnie’s studio at 4680 Indiana St., Golden, and Jim gets to work. “I’ll get it back in a lot of different pieces,” Jim said. Jim Dickson is a metal chaser and welder. He fuses the pieces of the statue back together, adds detail, and even color through various welding techniques.

Clinic free to students By Cassie Monroe
cmonroe@ourcoloradonews.com The students of Red Rocks Community College agreed having a health clinic on campus was so important they were willing to pay more in fees for its creation. Joe Heimer, student body president, launched the project after he found out three other community colleges in the state had health clinics on campus available for students. He started by surveying the student body to see if they were interested in having a clinic, and explained semester fees would increase if they wanted to make this a reality. There are only 13 community colleges nationwide that provide student health clinics on campus. There is no cost for a student to come into the clinic to see the physician’s assistant, Johnna Jaymes, but if any lab work needs to be done there is a small charge. “If it’s something we can’t do then we’ll help them get connected with someone in the community who can,” Jaymes said. According to Carolyn Mattern, director of student life and services, The results of the student survey in summer and fall of 2011 indicated more than 35 percent of students did not have health insurance. In order for the school to start building and supplying the clinic the student body had to vote on a referendum in favor of the initiative. On the referendum in spring 2012, 95 percent of the vote was in favor of adding an additional fee to fund the

Construction began in June 2012 and was completed three months later. The clinic saw its first visitors this fall, and according to Nicole Brown, medical assistant, she and Jaymes see an average of 11 to 16 patients Monday through Thursday and only about four patients on Fridays. On Mondays and Tuesdays the clinic is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Fridays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Most classes at RRCC are from Monday through Thursday, so there is not much campus activity on Fridays. “The goal was to have, no mat-
ter what kind of student you are, a time to come in,” Jaymes said. Jaymes graduated from the physicians assistant program in 2009. She worked in preventative cardiology for a while, but eventually decided to continue her education at RRCC. After learning the school had a need for a cardiology teacher, she began teaching at the college in January 2011. Brown said she understands why this clinic is so important for students to have. “I know what it is like not having health care and not knowing where to go or where to turn,” she said. “This is a service students won’t find anywhere else.”

JEFFCO NEWS IN A HURRY Ridgeway case to cost
The high profile murder case involving Jessica Ridgeway suspect Austin Sigg will have a high cost as well. The Colorado Judicial Department has authorized $30,000 be sent to Jefferson County out of the court security cash fund, to help handle the cost of handling the increased public and media attention associated with the case. Aurora courts received similar funding for the prosecution of the Aurora shooting suspect. “There are just so many people and media that want to be there,” said Jeffco Sheriff’s Department Grant Specialist Beth Mundell. According to Mundell, the $30,000 grant was greatly appreciated, but would not cover all of the county’s additional costs. The Jeffco District At-
torney’s Department is anticipating extra costs as well. Last week incoming DA Pete Weir came to the Board of County Commissioners and said the Ridgeway court proceedings were likely to be lengthy — “several months if not one or two years.” Weir said new legislation allowing for a “reverse-transfer hearing” would also mean added time and resources spent defending the DA’s decision to charge the 17-yearold suspect as an adult. For the 2013 budget, he requested at least two additional staff members to help with the workload, and to not draw workforce away from hundreds of other ongoing cases.

Jeffco school board censures Boggs By Cassie Monroe cmonroe@ourcoloradonews.com

The Jefferson County Board of Education voted to censure board member Laura Boggs for a second time because she agreed and laughed when a radio host said Jeffco’s “superintendent should be shot” during a discussion of ballot questions 3A and 3B. Although Boggs apologized, the five-member board voted to censure her 4-0. Boggs did not vote. During a public comment period, several teachers, parents of students and residents expressed disapproval of Boggs’ action and said she has a record of unethical and inappropriate behavior. Don Cameron, of Golden, gave a Powerpoint presentation outlining where he said comments Boggs made in the radio show did not match with facts from Jeffco schools.
“She should be censured at the least,” Cameron said. Tom Graham, of Arvada, said inappropriate remarks during the radio show weren’t initiated by Boggs. He said instead of wasting time with a censure the board should focus on more important matters. “Miss Boggs is the only bright spot Jeffco has,” Graham said. About half of the audience stood when Ralston Valley High School Principal Jim Ellis asked all principals and administration who support the censure to stand. “We are sick and tired of Ms. Boggs making our work harder,” Ellis said. Barb Neville, of Littleton, said the board could better spend its time on other subjects, such as addressing poor performance scores of Jefferson and Alameda high schools. “Let’s tackle real issues not run down another rabbit hole,” Neville said.
After the board listened to the radio clip, Boggs apologized, and said she sent the superintendent a handwritten apology. Board member Jill Fellman moved for the censure, which is an official reprimand but doesn’t change a board member’s duties. The incident happened during an Oct. 18 interview with Jason Worley, co-host of conservative Grassroots Radio Colorado on 560 AM. The two were discussing ballot questions 3A and 3B, which would raise property taxes in the county to supplement education budget cuts. While Worley was talking about a Jeffco employee’s use of social media he said, “If you have a Facebook person still in Jefferson County, your superintendent should be shot.” “Yes,” Boggs said. “I’m sorry,” Worley said. “Yep,” Boggs said. Boggs was also censured in 2010.

‘Toxic’ love leads to murder
Convicted murderer sentenced to 48 years in prison By Glenn Wallace
gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com The first of three adult suspects in the murder of Richard Limon, 69, from Denver, has been sentenced to 48 years in prison for the murder of his friend. Raul Nunez-Soto, 48, sat with his head in his hand through much of the hearing, including when the judge sentenced him to the maximum sentence. Nunez-Soto pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in September. He will eligible for parole in 36 years. “I’m just glad I had all these people to help our family through this, and I’m glad he got what he deserved,” the victim’s daughter Michelle Limon said afterward. Three other individuals have been charged in the murder. Tina Moya, the victim’s ex-wife, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last month. She, too, faces up to 48 years in prison when sentenced
n d n -
later this year. Moya’s 17-year-old daughter pleaded guilty to accessory to murder, and is serving a twoyear sentence in a Department of Youth Nunez-Soto Corrections facility. One more suspect remains at large: Edwin Ernesto Rivera Gracias, 28, who is wanted for first-degree murder. During the hearing last week, Nunez-Soto’s attorney, Stephanie Siebold said a mental health evaluation found that he has below-average intelligence, is not very assertive and is possibly more prone to peer pressure than most. Siebold described him as having a stable life, with a wife of 25 years, and a stable manager job, only to abandon it all for Tina Moya. Moya had a long relationship with Limon, and even married him, in spite of telling friends and family that Limon had raped her and her daughter. Attorneys said there is no law enforcement record of those sexual assaults ever being reported to law enforcement. The Limon/Moya relationship
was described as toxic by attorneys on both sides of the courtroom. Moya was described as hating Limon, but being dependent on him. That changed when Moya met Nunez-Soto. According to court testimony, the two quickly became a couple, with Nunez-Soto supporting her, and Moya tattooing “Raul” on her neck. Not long afterward, court records indicate Moya began pressuring Nunez-Soto to kill Limon, even though the two men were friends. Records also allege that Gracias, the boyfriend of Moya’s daughter, agreed to carry out the murder. Prosecutor Candace Black called the murder “a particularly heinous, depraved and cruel crime.” Gracias and Nunez-Soto attacked Limon in his bed Aug. 16, 2011. Nunez-Soto held the victim’s legs while Gracias tried to suffocate him with duct tape. When that failed, Gracias left the room to get a knife. Nunez-Soto held the suffocating man until Gracias returned and stabbed Limon until the knife broke. Limon’s body was found a day later, off the edge of a switchback along Lookout Mountain Road above Golden.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
Day of healing a time to overcome loss to suicide Later this month on Sunday, Nov. 17, a day of healing will be marked for people who have lost a family member or friend to suicide. We highlight this event — titled the International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day — because suicide is one of life’s common heartbreaks not so often reflected in our newspapers or even so much in everyday conversation. Those who lose loved ones to suicide sometimes suffer privately and don’t seek grief counseling or find others to help them come to terms with a loss. Years ago we completed a series on suicide and explained how suicide as a cause of death is rarely noted in obituaries due to understandable concerns from families who often just want to highlight and remember the good times. Sometimes a suicide is so much part of a story — or a suicide involves a public official or someone else who is considered
OUR VIEW in the public light — that we do report the cause of death. But in so many cases it is considered a private matter and little is said. Sometimes this cause of death is even omitted from eulogies. We urge people who have struggled with the loss of a loved one to suicide to take advantage of this day. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention will have an event at 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 17, at Jubilee Fellowship Church, 8200 Southpark Circle in Highlands Ranch, visit colorado@afsp.org for more details. And we urge our readers to seek other activities that may appear locally
in church newsletters or through local service organizations. And for general information about the day, visit American Foundation for Suicide Prevention at afsp.org. Unfortunately this issue is not going away. The rate of suicide has been increasing every year since 2000 according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The suicide rate increased 3.9 percent during 2009 to equal about 12.4 suicides per 100,000 people. There were 38,364 suicide deaths in 2010 nationwide. Consider: • Every 13.7 minutes someone in the United States dies by suicide. • Nearly 1,000,000 people make a suicide attempt every year. • 90 percent of people who die by suicide have a diagnose and treatable psychiatric disorder at the time of their death.
• Recent data puts yearly medical costs for suicide at nearly $100 million (2005). • Men are nearly four times more likely to die by suicide than women. Women attempt suicide three times as often as men. • Suicide rates are highest for people between the ages of 40 and 59 • Native American peoples are most likely to die by suicide, followed by white individuals. We encourage readers to take advantage of this event. We venture that knowledge and comfort gained in support group settings by people who are suffering from loss of a loved one to suicide can in some measure help to prevent suicides. Step forward and take the opportunity to talk and heal together with people with the same heartaches.
Thankfully, the election ends and normality returns I’m Michael Alcorn, and I approve this, er ... column ... thingy. Over the course of the last nine months, the opposition subjected you to the worst, ugliest sort of tactics we’ve ever seen in political campaigns. They lied, they obfuscated, they dodged serious questions, and they twisted things that had been said out of context and beyond all recognition. And that’s just the reporters. By the time you read this, we should know the results. OhpleaseOhpleaseOhplease I pray that we know the results by the time you read this. The candidates blanketed the airwaves with nearly a billion dollars in ads meant to distort records, muddy the waters, hide the truth, obscure reality and confuse you into voting based on your basest instincts. If you think “Hope and Change,” “Forward,” and “Believe in America” were silly, vapid slogans, that just means that after seeing the 900th ad of the day saying the other guy is going take your car away to give to a Chinese illegal immigrant woman without health care, and then they’re going claim a $4 million tax deduction on it, that just means that, somehow, you still had two brain cells willing to talk to each other enough to recognize how meaningless these slogans are. The rest of us completely short-circuited on or about the 500th ad, and three word or less slogans are all we’re able to process.
One guy ran out a panel of “non-partisan experts” who told you the other guy’s plan is going to cost the country 70 gazillion dollars; so the other guy trotted out his panel of “non-partisan experts” who told you it won’t, and besides the first guy wears funny pants. One of the highlights of the campaign was a debate which was almost immediately parodied into a contest between Walter, the curmudgeonly puppet of ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, and Eddie Munster. And what is truly sad about that parody was that the Eddie Munster-esque candidate was the only one on the stage who wouldn’t have gotten himself kicked out of a sixth-grade debate for class president for “antics unbecoming a high official” ... or even a high colonic. We, the people, continually lament how hard it is to find a good person to run for important offices. Well, here’s why: the glare of the spotlight on these men has been bright enough to melt the little pizza bats from the old “Star Trek,” and the scru-

tiny these guys have subjected themselves to would have tested the patience of St. Francis. And after this circus, this non-stop, micromanaged, hyper-inspected, psychic proctology exam that these guys have been through for the last year, we’re still told that the election probably came down to the relatively small number of voters who were somehow, miraculously “lowinformation.” That’s right: the most important elected position on the planet was decided by people who had basically been comatose for the better part of the last year. I watched the debates, and I watched the follow-up panels of “undecided” voters, and I came to one conclusion: most of them were not, actually, undecided. Based on their questions and their responses to the moderators, I would say that most of them had actually made up their minds — they’re just fishing for an excuse to stick with their thoughts. That and, apparently, they have good cookies at those panels. If this seems dumb, like this is no way to pick the leader of the free world — or the leader of a Cub Scout pack — well, that’s because it is. And the worst part of it is, as much as we’d like to blame the candidates, the media, the Supreme Court, and Josh McDaniel, the real responsibility lies with we, the people. We accept a campaign like this; we
who aren’t “undecided” follow the polls and listen to the media say who’s up and who’s down; we respond to the negative ads (somehow, there are still 10-20 percent who think Mitt Romney was the inspiration for the DC Comic Book character Bane, just like there are still 10-20 percent who think Barack Obama was born on Mars) and we accept that muddy waters are good enough for us to make a reasoned decision. If negative advertising didn’t work, these guys wouldn’t spend the GDP of Uruguay blanketing the airwaves with it. And so we limp toward the finish line of another presidential campaign, implausibly relieved that Viagra and Cialis commercials are on their way back. Perhaps, if we’re lucky, in a couple of weeks we’ll all return to our normal lives and levels of civility. Maybe we’ll all remember our revulsion at the way this campaign has played out and insist on something a bit more substantive next time. Maybe when our guy is being a schmuck we’ll call him on it. Because nobody should ever be relieved that Viagra and Cialis are coming back. Michael Alcorn is a music teacher and fitness instructor who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. He graduated from Alameda High School and the University of Colorado-Boulder.

Celebrate the Holidays Getting your home ready for the hosting season Some might call the fall and winter months the holiday season, but it could just as easily be known as the hosting season. It’s the time of year when cooking for crowds and welcoming friends and family for celebrations is the name of the game. For those opening their homes to guests, it can be hectic, but there are plenty of ways to make the season as full of cheer as it should be. Decorating your home for the holidays goes handin-hand with getting ready for guests – whether those visitors are planned or impromptu. So, as you start to consider your decor themes, think about updates that can be made around the house to make your guests feel even more at home. Keep this checklist in mind as you get started: • Give your decorations a checkup. By pulling out your holiday decorations well ahead of time, you can save yourself the stress of last-minute surprises like broken platters or light
strings with half the bulbs burnt out. If you find items that are broken or in disrepair, don’t throw them out – make a few quick fixes instead. Repair broken items with reliably tough adhesives like Gorilla, which come in a variety of formulas, from clear-drying epoxy to wood glue and more. Replace burnt out bulbs individually, rather than buying entire new strands. • Stock your pantry. During every holiday this season, food will be a major focus. Be prepared for the biggest days by having all the ingredients you need in your pantry, freezer and – closer to the actual events – your refrigerator. From spices to stock to sweet treats, it’s better to have everything on hand rather than risking the chance of the grocery store being closed or dealing with the long, hectic holiday lines. It’s also a great opportunity to make sure that you have enough supplies on hand to feed guests who stay for a few
days at a time, from breakfast to dinner and dessert. • Freshen your linens. Guest rooms often go dormant during the quieter seasons of the year, and need a bit of airing out before the hosting season. Keep a few sets of linens freshly laundered - one on each bed and a couple in the closet - to avoid stale smells. Make sure you also have a few extra blankets clean and ready to use as throws, and don’t forget to vacuum or clean window treatments, where dust easily collects. • Get in the spirit. Add to your home’s seasonal spirit by making a few crafts or gifts to decorate the main rooms, as well as guest rooms. Get creative with craft store items, or try ‘upcycling’ thrift store or yard sale finds into holiday decor that’s uniquely yours. Visit www.pinterest.
com/gorillaglue for project ideas and www.gorillatough.com for a guide to which glues work best on a variety of materials, from ceramics to plastic to paper. • Be ready to entertain. Being a good host means being prepared for lastminute fun. After the big meal is finished and everything is cleaned up, you and your guests will have time for some extra fun. Set out DVDs, board games and books that will keep guests of all ages entertained. One of the best parts of celebrating the season is the opportunity to spend time with loved ones. Getting your home ready for guests will make them feel more comfortable when they arrive -and give you a new sense of holiday cheer. BPT

Spirit of the season Holiday play examines family, faith By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com
T
he holidays are a time for families to come together, but this can often lead to some fractious reunions. “Greetings,” the holiday production at the Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, tackles head-on the faith and family differences that arise during the holidays. The play begins its run on Friday and continue through Dec. 23. Curtain is at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. on Sundays. “The play is billed as a comedy, and it is, but there are also some really poignant things for the characters to go through,” said Rita Broderick, director of the show.
IF YOU GO WHAT: “Greetings” WHERE: Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave., Golden WHEN: Nov. 9 through Dec. 23, Friday and Saturday - 7:30 p.m., Sunday - 2 p.m. COST: $19-$26.50. Senior, student and group rates available INFORMATION: 303-935-3044 or www.minersalley.com
‘Audiences may not be surprised by the characters, but they’ll be stunned by the journey.’ Rick Bernstein, Playhouse founder The action focuses on the Gorski house in Pittsburgh, where it’s Christmas Eve and the oldest son, Andy (played by Kurt Brighton), brings home his fiancée, Randi (Jennifer Condreay), to meet his family. The problem? The Gorskis are strict Catholics, and Randi is a Jewish atheist. Andy’s parents Phil (Rick Bernstein) and Emily (Miriam Tobin), worn down from lives of hard work, take care of Mickey (Matt Maxwell), Andy’s autistic brother and are not happy at all when they find out their son is engaged, and to whom. What follows could be a cliche about accepting the differences in others, but a possible Christmas miracle throws the family and audience for a loop. “It’s not like any Christmas show most people have seen,” Broderick said. “I like things with a twist.” The production is the regional premiere for “Greetings,” according to the playhouse’s founder Rick Bernstein. He said that the theater likes to stay aware from the traditional fare when it comes
to its holiday productions, and that was part of what this particular play was chosen. “The show is definitely topical, and has some issues that viewers will be discussing after they leave,” he said. “Questions like what is God to me, what is God to you and what is faith to me and what is faith to you?” For Broderick, the fact that the play touches on all these sensitive issues and the way the characters react in realistic ways is what will make it resonate with people. “The fact that the play focuses on regular people is what I liked and drew me to it,” she said. “It’s a great story about how everyone wants to find a little peace.” The characters and their growth is what drew Bernstein to it in the first place. “Audiences may not be surprised by the characters, but they’ll be stunned by the journey,” he said. For more information and tickets, call 303-935-3044 or visit www.minersalley. com.
Only the annual Children’s Hospital Gala would sell out of individual tickets more than two weeks out. Denver denizens dress in their fancy black-tie finery and come out in droves to support such a worthy cause — this time for the 35th year. Some attendees come for the entertainment — this year comedian Craig Ferguson of CBS’ “The Late Late Show” — others show up because the gala is among the top events of the season, and then the majority of the gala goers come to support such a great cause. The event, from 5:30-11:45 p.m. Saturday at the Hyatt Regency Convention Center, includes a live auction with a trip to the 55th annual Grammy Awards and a five-night Hawaiian vacation, a silent auction, dinner and dancing. Table sponsorships are still available. For more information, go to www.childrenscoloradofoundation. org/gala or call 720-777-1768. For 35 years, the Rocky Mountain community has contributed more than $25 million to Children’s Hospital Colorado through the Children’s Gala, and the event continues to be one of the largest annual fundraising events for the hospital.

Farmers top Rams in state tourney tune-up By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com LAKEWOOD - Believing they needed to beat Wheat Ridge in order to secure a spot in the 4A playoffs, Green Mountain gave the Farmers all they could handle last Friday night. Wheat Ridge was able to hang on and beat an underrated Green Mountain team 14-10 at Jefferson County Stadium, but the Rams still managed to sneak into the state tournament. “They out played us physically, we have a problem letting up sometimes,” Wheat Ridge coach Reid Kahl said. “But it was a big win for us in terms of playoff seeding and having the opportunity to host in the first round.” No. 6 Wheat Ridge (9-1, 4-1) will now face No. 11 Cheyenne Mountain Friday at 7 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium. No. 15 Green Mountain (7-3, 3-2) will battle No. 2 Ponderosa Friday at 7 p.m. at Sports Authority Field. However, last Friday night both teams showed they are capable of beating any team in the state with stout defensive efforts on both units. The Farmers scored a touchdown on their first drive of the game but the Rams were able to take a 10-7 lead into halftime with a 7-yard touchdown reception by junior receiver Kyle Lichty and a 28-yard field goal. Green Mountain was able to keep Wheat Ridge off of the scoreboard until late in the fourth quarter but the Rams coughed up two fumbles and the Farmers made them pay for the second. Off the turnover Wheat Ridge senior running back Dominic Rael scored a game-winning touchdown from 12-yards out with just over three minutes left in the contest stealing the game away from Green Mountain. “We were fired up and really wanted to win this game bad,” Rael said. “We have really bonded and are so much more mature than we used to be and we just do whatever it takes to win games.” Green Mountain physically outplayed a usually very physical Wheat Ridge team, and looked like they were about to win the

But Wheat Ridge is in the middle of regaining the momentum they had earlier in the season that gained them the state’s number one ranking. “They got outplayed, it should have been our game,” Lichty said. “If we would have followed through in the fourth quarter and not turned it over we win the game.” Still, Green Mountain’s resurgence cannot be understated and while Tom Ward is extremely proud of his program’s turnaround the humble head coach refuses to take any credit. “We just fly around, play hard and have fun, that’s all we do,” Ward said. “The guys
deserve all the credit not me.” Even with their early season loss of starting quarterback Ryan Girtin Wheat Ridge has been recognized as one of the best 4A teams in the state the entire season. The Farmers rolled through their schedule with their one hiccup being a 17-0 loss to South. And while Green Mountain managed to sneak into the tournament as one of the last teams in, their resume certainly proves their worth. “You do not want to play us right now if you are any team in the state. “Even after our loss we have momentum and we are going to come out and hit everyone one we play in the mouth,” Lichty said.
“What we were looking for was a 1-0 game, just the other way around.” Jefferson soccer coach Julio Ocana after his Saints fell 1-0 in the quarterfinals to Colorado Academy

Locals tumble at state meet By Scott Stocker
sports@ourcoloradonews. com THORNTON Lakewood`s Hanna Roshak could have had a lonely feeling among the Jefferson County teams after the finals of the Class 5A state gymnastics meet last Friday and Saturday at Thornton High School. Roshak was the only athlete from either Lakewood, Arvada West, Bear Creek, Green Mountain and Pomona, to win a ribbon from the area schools. She pulled out a 9.45 for her sixth-place finish on the uneven bars. “It was awesome to be
with the team and to help get my skills honed,” Roshak said. “It was fun to make a final event. The key was to get in and swing and don’t hold back. I was very nervous. But my 9.45 on the bars was my best all season.” As for Lakewood, it could be a fine season in 2012-2013 for the Tigers and coach Mary Beth Artemis and it did turn out to be a fine year for Roshak. Camille Anthony failed to reach the finals for the Tigers finishing the season at 37th in the all-around with a 35.15. “Hanna had a severe ankle and stress fracture at the beginning of the year,
but she has been able to come back so strong,” Artemis said. “To make it to the finals in bars is just great. We only have three seniors and had no juniors at the beginning of the year. We got two from Wheat Ridge, as they don’t have a program anymore. We have one girl from Golden and another from Faith Christian. They have all grown over the course of the season.” Broomfield won the title with an 187.625, followed by Fort Collins, 183.85, and Overland, 183.7. The best Jefferson County League finishes were by Arvada West and Standley Lake. The Wildcats scored 178.225 for an eighthplace finish in the team standings, followed by Standley Lake with 176.875. Rocky Mountain’s Keri Peel (38.925) and Lauren Glover (38.7), placed one-two respectively in the all-around, followed by pre-meet favorite Claire Hammen of Loveland (38.375). Taylor Molliconi of Mountain Range (38.3), Erick Pollack of Fort Collins (38.225) and Gabby Maiden of Broomfield (37.825) rounded out the field. Arvada West’s Jessica Jankowski reached the finals on floor and the balance beam. However, following a banner season she failed to medal in each event. She placed seventh on floor with a stellar 9.6 and 10th on beam with a 9.4. Teammate Jillian Kerr also reach the finals on beam and was able to edge Jankowski finishing 9th with a 9.425. “I’m still so happy and pleased with what I did
Bear Creek’s Jordan Cordova competes on the balance beam during the 5A State Gymnastics meet at Thornton High School Friday. Photos by Andy Carpenean here,” Jankowski said. “On floor I did a full and didn’t go over. There are a lot of club level girls here and that helps make the competition tough, but this whole season has been strong for me. The key was to stay calm, but I’m so excited and to get here is just a big feat. I was able to show what I could do on floor and I finished strong on the beam.” Kerr was also pleased with her season. “This is my first time here in high school and I wasn’t sure I would go out this year,” Kerr said. “I think our whole team put
out and we were sticking it. I gained a lot of confidence this season and I’m proud of what we have all been able to do.” Arvada West coach Lori Wyss also felt it was a good season and had high praise for her team. “I think we had our best day of the year with our incredible score in the team competition,” Wyss said. “We were solid on beam. Jessie was right in there. I’m real proud of what the girls have been able to accomplish and we’ve got a good future. We’re just going to get stronger and better.”
Pomona’s Tracy Boychuk had hoped for higher finishes from her girls. The Panther’s Kailey Low finished eighth on the uneven bars with a 9.325, just missing a ribbon by .13 of a point. Katie Leach finished in 31st in the allaround for the Panthers with a 35.525. “It was fun, my first time in high school and I feel that I accomplished a lot,” Low said. “I was excited to make a final. I gave it my best shot and my bars have been my best event. I’m very happy as this was my best meet overall of the season.” “We only had Kailey in the finals,” Boychuk said. “She is a senior and this is her first time on the team. She is the league champion on bars and it’s nice that she could put a happy ending on her career.” Green Mountain’s Sarah Martin was the highest finisher for the Rams in the all-around, 30th with a 35.725 as she tallied 9.15 on vault, 9.025 on the bars, 8.55 on beam and 8.525 on floor. Jordan Cordova was 27th on floor (9.3), 37th on the bars (8.725) and 43rd on beam (8.8). Lexi Armenta was 27th on bars (8.9), 46th on floor (9.0) and 49th on beam (8.675) and Sara Henke, 8th on beam (7.6) to round out the Rams gymnasts. Ayaka Schmitz led Bear Creek in the all-around finishing 35th with a 35.25 while teammate Myranda Dominquez placed 39th with a 34.9. Jordan Cordova competed in three events, 27th on floor (9.3), 37th on bars (8.725) and 43rd on beam (8.8) while Niki Moya finished 22nd on beam (9.3) and 30th on bars (8.85).

State football playoff capsules By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com 5A state playoff games include: No. 10 Columbine (7-3, 3-2) at No. 7 Pomona (8-2, 4-1), Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at NAAC * Game plan: Ranked No. 1 in the state twice this season Pomona is certainly battle tested and still one of the best 5A teams in the state. But so is Columbine, the state reigning state champion. Columbine opened the season winning five of their first six games, but then dropped consecutive games to Lakewood and Mullen. The Rebels feature the best statistical running back in the state this season in Bernard McDondle. McDondle has rushed for 1,493 yards averaging 165 yards per contest. He has also scored 12 touchdowns this season. * Extra point: We should point out that if the game actually does comes down to an extra point or a short field goal than Pomona is in good shape. Allyson Thimson took over place kicking duties after Week 1 and has made 32 of 35 extra points since. No. 15 Fort Collins (7-3, 5-0) at No. 2 Ralston Valley (9-1, 5-0), Friday at 7 p.m. at NAAC * Game plan: Ralston Valley rolled over No. 31 Castle View 45-0 in the first round and Fort Collins beat a very good Lakewood team 24-17. After starting their season 0-3, Fort Collins has since won seven straight games and now looks like a different team. Led by senior quarterback/running back Caleb Seeton the Lambkins turned a 4-6 team in 2011 into a playoff team making a run at a state title this season. And although they are the No. 15 seed coach Eric Rice has a history of taking good teams and making them great in the postseason. * Extra point: The Mustangs should overwhelm Fort Collins with their over 419 total yards of offense per game that they average. If Ralston Valley doesn’t turn the ball over there isn’t a team in 5A
that can beat them. 4A state playoff games include: No. 11 Cheyenne Mountain (7-3, 5-2) at No. 6 Wheat Ridge (9-1, 4-1), Friday at 7 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium * Game plan: Former No. 1 Wheat Ridge has one blemish on their record, a 17-0 loss to South four weeks ago. Since then they have regained the form that made many believe they are the best 4A team in the state this season. But they will have their hands full with a Cheyenne Mountain team that averages over 33 points per game. Senior running back James Michael Sullivan carries his team, averaging over 90 rushing yards per game on the ground. Sullivan and senior Ryan McMahon (seven touchdowns this season) provide a two-headed monster that will give the Farmers problems. * Extra point: Wheat Ridge is a team with a lot to prove. After losing their No. 1 ranking to South the Farmers have become a more discipline and more focused group. They have outscored their opponents 84-20 since their loss to South. No. 15 Green Mountain (7-3, 3-2) at No. 2 Ponderosa (10-0, 7-0), Friday at 7 p.m. at Sports Authority Field * Game plan: Green Mountain was one of the last teams in the tournament, but only because the 4A class is so deep this season. But their season might be on the verge of coming to an end at the hands of perhaps the best team in the state in any classification. Ponderosa has scored over 30 points in seven games this season (averaging 34.7) and were rarely tested. They rush the ball for an average of 240 yards per game led by senior Corry Williams. Williams has rushed the ball for an astounding 1325 carries, averaging over 8 yards per carry this season. Oh, and he also scored 21 touchdowns. * Extra point: Green Mountain must try to keep the game close and then steal it in the end. It is hard to image the Rams (or anyone else) beating Ponderosa without a little help of a couple Ponderosa turnovers. 2A state playoff games include:
Wheat Ridge sophomore quarterback Diego Garcia and the Farmers will host Cheyenne Mountain Friday in the first round of the Class 4A playoffs. Photo by Andy Carpenean No. 6 Faith Christian (8-2) at No. 3 Bayfield (10-0), Saturday at 1 p.m. At Bayfield High School * Game plan: Bayfield has been one of the state’s top teams all season, and defense is a big reason why. The Wolverines have posted three shutouts, and haven’t surrendered more than 18 points in any contest all year. B
ayfield outlasted Trinidad 21-12 in the first round, rushing for 217 yards. Tj Pazell led the way with 102 on 21 carries. * Extra point: The Wolverines have a gaudy record, but Faith Christian is battle-tested. The Eagles have momentum, and are used to playing in big games. If they can avoid turnovers, don’t be surprised if they pull off the (mild) upset.

A veteran saves a life . . . a pet saves a soul

saustin@ourcoloradonews.com Doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Mario after he became ill halfway through his third tour of duty in Iraq. After being sent home, Mario’s symptoms eventually went away, so he was shipped out again, only to have his symptoms reappear. “I was really scared of what was happening to me,” Mario recalled. “I couldn’t eat, drink or sleep. It was really painful.” It wasn’t until he was sent to the University of Colorado Medical Center that it was learned he had Hypereosinphilic Syndrome, an autoimmune disorder. After being placed on a chemotherapy medication, Mario was medically discharged from the military in 2010 – seven years after his enlistment. What the Colorado high school graduate had hoped would be a military career was now gone. Burdened with feelings of despair, Mario found himself visiting local animal shelters in search of a companion. That was when Kona, an older Husky with health issues of his own, came into his life. “The shelter told me up front that Kona would need a $3,000 surgery on one of his
hind knees, but I had no job at the time and couldn’t afford the surgery,” Mario said. “I just couldn’t give him back to the shelter, so I called my advocate at the Wounded Warrior Project. When she hooked me up with Pets for Patriots, my life was changed forever.” Mario’s adoption of Kona was one of the first Colorado cases for Pets for Patriots, although it wasn’t as an adoption through a partnering shelter. The organization’s board of directors reviewed Mario’s situation and voted to sponsor Kona’s surgery through a partnering veterinarian, making it possible for Mario to keep his new forever friend in his life. “I talk to him and he listens. He’s always there for me,” Mario said. “He’s my ‘never leave your side’ friend.” Pets for Patriots – headquartered in Long Beach, N.Y. – was legally formed in 2009, and formally launched in 2010 as a nonprofit organization dedicated to pairing shelter cats or dogs with deserving military veterans across the country whose lives would be positively impacted by an animal companion. Explaining the thought process that led to the formation of Pets for Patriots, its founder
and executive director, Beth Zimmerman, said it occurred to her that there are two populations with complementary needs – older or at-risk pets who are in desperate need of a loving home and veterans who for one reason or another are in need of a loving fourlegged companion. “We create partnerships with animal welfare organizations and veterinarians around the country to find eligible dogs and cats for our military members – no matter what age, what service branch or what stage of their careers they’re in,” Zimmerman explained. “We knew when we launched Pets for Patriots that the cost of having a pet could be an obstacle, so we set up a surrender prevention platform,” she added. “We help them adopt and make sure adoption is sustainable and affordable.” To do so, Pets for Patriots provides a contribution at the time of adoption, as well as continuing financial support each additional year the military member still has the pet. Partner vet clinics provide
ongoing access to veterinary care, and partnering sponsors provide pet health insurance. “Our overall goal is to lower pet ownership cost for veterans so they don’t have to give up their new best friend,” Zimmerman said. “Pets for Patriots focuses on adult and at-risk pets, knowing that shelters see an overwhelming preference for small dogs, puppies and kittens,” Zimmerman explained. “Pets eligible for adoption in our program must be a dog or cat two years or older, any age dog 40 pounds or over, and a special needs dog or cat.” The organization has volunteer team members around the country who are dedicated to the partner outreach that identifies a need in a certain community. Pets for Patriots relies on its adoption partners – animal shelters and veterinarians – to determine compatibility and need. “We rely on their best judgment,” Zimmerman added, “and that is why we list them as our ‘trusted shelters’ and ‘trusted veterinarians’ on our website directory.” Since Pets for Patriots launched in 2010, there have been 242 adoptions across the country, and that number grows almost daily as more

Today, these two best friends enjoy snowshoeing together in the mountains. and more people become aware of it. The word is getting out there, thanks to the marketing help of partnering shelters and veterinarians, military and veteran organizations, Military.com as a content partner, Facebook and Twitter. The goal of Pets for Patriots is to educate the military community and the public about the life-changing benefits of adopting lastchance shelter dogs and cats.
“While every veteran’s situation is unique, we hear over and over again that a pet gives someone a purpose to live,” Zimmerman said. And that’s what fuels the mission of Pets for Patriots. It’s very simple, really. A veteran saves a life and a pet saves a soul. To learn more and find out how to become involved with Pets for Patriots, visit www. petsforpatriots.org.
