Great weather helped bring out goblins, monsters and fairy princesses to the second annual Brighton Harvest Festival Saturday in downtown Brighton. Several stores along Main Street offered treats for trick-or-treaters and good buys in the downtown stores for the adults. There were several vendors set up in the parking next to the Pink Door Boutique with items for sale. The Harvest Fest Booth passed out bingo cards to adults at the festival for a chance to win an iPad and other prizes by visiting participating stores along Main Street and having the card marked. Children were treated to a bouncy house and a pumpkin rolling contest, and everyone was entertained by the Brighten Jazz Band playing on North Main Street and the Dancer’s Edge dancers on South Main Street. The Dancer’s Edge included 25 young dancers performing Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” as zombies. The Artisan’s show provided guest’s at the festival with an opportunity to view and enjoy their talented creations in the merchants’ area.

With ballots now mailed to every registered voter in Colorado, political campaigns and advocacy groups are ramping up efforts aimed at mobilizing a coveted voting bloc — Latinos. Democratic leaders last week urged Latino voters to cast ballots in support of their party’s candidates, while blasting Republicans over policy positions that they believe Hispanics have long rejected. But Republicans say they are working harder than ever to appeal to an influential bloc of voters that has by and large rejected GOP candidates statewide and at the national level in recent years. Latino Democratic leaders held a press conference outside the Denver City and County Building, where they blasted Republican candidates for ignoring or being on the wrong side of issues of importance to the Hispanic community. “They only give us lip service,” said Denver City Councilman Paul Lopez. “They only give us promises during a campaign, but when push comes to shove, when it’s any other day of the year besides Election Day, it’s, ‘We don’t have time for you.’” Democrats are reminding Latino voters that it was their party that got through legislation at the state level this year that makes it easier for undocumented students to attend college, as well as legislation that allows undocumented citizens to obtain licenses to drive. Democrats also claim that while their party has worked toward immigration reform in Congress, Republicans have put up roadblocks. They took aim at U.S. Reps. Cory Gardner and Mike Coffman, who are locked in tight races against Democrats this election cycle. Gardner is vying to unseat Sen. Mark Udall while Coffman tries to stave off a challenge to his 6th Congressional District seat from Andrew Romanoff. Those who spoke at the press event said neither Gardner nor Coffman could be trusted on immigration issues. And they said they and their Republican colleagues in the House have failed to get any sort of immigration reform accomplished. State. Sen. Jesse Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, whose Adams County-based state Senate district is part of Coffman’s 6th District, said Coffman for years “has been running against Latino and immigrant communities.” Coffman has had to take tough votes on immigration measures, considering the complexity of the district he represents. Coffman has been critical of President Obama’s leadership on immigration, but has also bucked his own party. Over the summer, both Coffman and Gardner broke ranks and voted against a Republican-sponsored bill that sought to halt a program that shields young undocumented immigrants from deportation. But Democrats believe Coffman’s “about face” on immigration issues is born out of necessity because he represents a district that grew more diverse after it was remapped. “Hollow actions ring hollow for people in my neck of the woods and we won’t stand for it,” Ulibarri said, urging Latino voters to back Romanoff. But the Coffman campaign thinks Ulibarri is the last person who should be touting Romanoff to Latino voters. Ulibarri was once critical of Romanoff for seeing through tough immigration measures while he was state House speaker in 2006. Latino vote continues on Page 5

Council approves budget A $83.9 million budget unanimously approved By Lou Ellen Bromley
bromelyclan@hotmail.com Brighton city council members approved the 2015 city budget of $83,914,884 to cover the city’s operating expenses and improvements for the coming year. Among the improvements mentioned at Tuesday’s council meeting was the need to upgrade water systems, waste water treatment, and storm drainage systems. These require the largest amount of the city’s budget because of the age of the water systems and need for frequent repair. The budget also includes funding for normal operating costs, $1.9 million, utilities and related projects requiring funds, $25.1 million, and the city’s internal services requiring funds of $3 million. Finance Director Dan Frelund and his staff balanced the city budget and maintained the 28-percent city reserve fund, as is required by the city. City Council also approved the Brighton Lodging Tax funds request to help fund events and activities within Brighton. The Lodging Tax committee hopes to increase the number of visitors to Brighton by providing fun and creative events within the city that will encourage people to come to town and enjoy the restaurants, hotels and activities Brighton has to offer. Eight different proposals for programs and activities were submitted and approved by council. The Brighton Historic Preservation commission also received council’s approval to pursue grant applications to conduct surveys of 64 Brighton farmlands. These surveys provide the Brighton Historic Preservation Commission a lot of valuable information concerning the history of each of the properties and their impact on Brighton’s history. Parks and Recreation Director Gary Wardle also received approval by council to apply for grants for non-motorized recreational trails to help complete the Colorado Front Range Trail system and for the continued development of the Erger’s Pond open space area. Council members also recognized Allstate insurance agents Melissa Rippy, Rick Sanchez and Jhazmin Thomas for the Allstate Foundation Purple Purse Awareness Campaign to raise awareness of victims of domestic abuse. Allstate agent Melissa Rippy presented councilwoman Joan Kness with a designer purple purse to carry, to show support for the victims of domestic abuse. City council members also recognized the National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, this coming Nov. 15-23. Sponsored by the National Coalition for the Homeless and the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness, this program helps educate the public about why people end up homeless and hungry and to support assistance efforts.

Police chief outlines community policing By Lou Ellen Bromley bromleyclan@hotmail.com Brighton Police Chief Clint Blackhurst gave a report to city council at the Oct. 14 meeting about the City of Brighton Police Department’s efforts in Community Policing. Community policing is a customer service oriented approach to police work with a systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques used during times of immediate conditions caused by public safety issues, including social disorder, crime and fear of crime. Chief Blackhurst highlighted three elements used in community policing. The first is community partnerships, the partnership between law enforcement officers and the individuals and organizations they serve, to help develop
Paid Political Adverstisement
solutions to problems that arise and to increase trust in the police department. Second is organizational transformation, developing systems to support community partnerships to become more active in problem-solving. Third is problem-solving by identifying and evaluating the problem then to develop an effective response to the problem. Chief Blackhurst also explained that the motto “To Prevent Crime and Disorder” written on the side of all Brighton police cars, was first quoted in London England by Sir Robert Peel, who developed the first Community Policing strategy in the mid 1800’s. Brighton Police adopted the quote after they started to develop the community policing policies.

Latino vote Continued from Page 1
Coffman campaign spokesman Tyler Sandberg responded to Ulibarri’s comments with the state senator’s own words to the Denver Post in 2010. “He demonstrated that if it’s politically expedient for him, he’s willing to sacrifice the most vulnerable in the Latino communities,” Ulibarri told the Post. “It will be very difficult for him to rebuild those relationships with community members.” The Coffman and Romanoff campaigns have been targeting Latinos through Spanishlanguage television and newspaper advertisements. And Coffman and Romanoff will soon square off in an Oct. 30 all-Spanish debate that will air on Univision. Sandberg said Coffman has been knocking on doors in Latino neighborhoods and said the reaction he’s been getting is positive. He also believes that Democrats could be in for a surprise when they sort through the voting statistics of Latino voters after Election Day. “More than the Democrats expect, that’s for sure,” Sandberg said, when asked what kind of support he expects Coffman to receive from
Latino voters. Republicans say they are ramping up Latino outreach efforts nationwide. Ali Pardo, the Hispanic press secretary for the Republican National Committee, said the GOP has put more staff in the field this year, specifically for the purpose of reaching Latino voters. Pardo said it’s Democrats who have failed Latinos on issues that matter to their community, like the expansion of school choices for their children and economic issues. Pardo does acknowledge that Republicans haven’t done enough work to reach out to Latinos in recent years, as evidenced by the vast majority who consider themselves Democrats. “We haven’t been there and that’s the point,” she said. “A large portion of the community identifies with the values of Republican Party, but we have to show up. Both parties have to be fighting for their vote.” Democrats are countering with their own Latino “get out the vote” effort. Democratic Latino activists were expected to launch a statewide canvass of Hispanic voters over the weekend of Oct. 18-19. Democrats aren’t concerned that Latinos will vote Republican. Their major worry is whether some vote at all. “As a community, we can’t afford to sit this election out,” Ulibarri said. PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT

GERARD HEALEY President MIKKEL KELLY Publisher and Editor GLENN WALLACE Assistant Editor ASHLEY REIMERS Community Editor
Bring back Solano, Moreno House and Senate races in the Adams County regional coverage area show a strong group of candidates with a steady group of incumbents aiming to retain seats. Senate District 24 is a tough race to call, as Democrat Judy Solano is facing Republican challenger Beth Martinez-Humenik, who has a wealth of experience on numerous regional boards and councils. We’d like to see what Martinez-Humenik would do at the Statehouse, but we give the edge to Solano. Solano’s emphasis to work on transportation and education targets the central needs of the state. In District 31, Joseph Salazar has been business and education minded in his actions. Challenger Carol Beckler is well versed in serving her community given her years on the Thornton council, and we like her mention of concerns about water rights, but Salazar has been sound and deserves to return to the Statehouse. Two other candidates are choosing to broaden their perspectives, and we see that as a good sign — when orientations shift from term to term. Dominick Moreno in District 32 has done good work, and we like his shift to more attention on transportation and jobs. Steven Lebsock, House District 34, who served for years on the Thornton City Council, seems to have his sights set on jobs and support for families. In House District 35, Faith Winter is a good choice to fill the shoes of Cherilyn Peniston. We appreciate her interest in water and infrastructure, as we look for candidates that understand the need for good resources and infrastructure, in addition so many other issues. In District 56, we support Kevin Priola. The Republican has been a strong repre-
OUR VIEW sentative for small business, seeking ways to streamline process and reduce red tape. Further, his interest in reducing high school drop-outs ties into strengthening the workforce in Colorado. School district funding questions Interestingly Adams County has many “asks” for its voters across the board. Four districts we cover — Mapleton, Adams 12, District 50, District 27J — are all appealing to the voters in addition to Adams 14 (Commerce City). We believe the time is right to give a boost to these Adams County school districts. And he will see if voters are more agreeable to open pocketbooks than they were last year when the $950 million tax questions, known as Amendment 66, was defeated. District 50 is back for another try after efforts failed last year. The $20 million bond and $2.5 million mill levy override is designed to offset future budget cuts. We see the need and appreciate the plans to up areas such as vocational training, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). The district opened its new Westminster High School in 2011 with its set of academies in place. With the districts destination centerpiece for K-12 students in place, the effort to strengthen the district in other ways is appropriate. Mapleton school district would address aging school district facilities with a $67 million bond. Further a $2.5 million mill levy
would give a boost to the quality of education via summer programs, after school programs, technology availability and recruiting new teachers. We support these measure, in particular the bond to improve the facilities. Students must have good environments for learning and the district needs excellent facilities to ensure a high percentage of families keep their students in the district. Adams Twelve Five Star Schools has introduced a $220 million bond that would allow construction of one or more middle schools and make improvements to anticipate overcrowding expectations. Further the $15 million mill levy override is impressively specifically allocated with $5.3 million to expansion of electives, $2.18 million to technology upgrades, as well as amounts for instructional materials, professional development and adjustments to starting salaries. D27J school district is looking at extended days schedules due to overcrowding. The proposed $148 bond would fund a new high school, two elementary schools, and buildout of several other schools. The need is high in this district and we are impressed with the district’s work in looking at the challenges ahead in light of funding being available or funding not coming through. With the economy performing reasonably well and school districts seeking funding to prepare students for the ever changing and competitive work world, we see value in all the plans. Approval of all the measures would amount to an infusion of more than $450 million in Adams County Schools. While some districts have more granular plans than others, we found them all worthy and urge voters to support their respective school districts. Vote yes.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Election seasons, what’s changed? We asked people at Malone’s Clubhouse Grill, 14455 W 64th Ave, in Arvada for their take on the election season. We asked them to look back 10-20 years and tell us (1) what has changed and (2) what has not changed about the campaign season.
“1) Non-stop ads, phone calls and more negative. 2) The parties still don’t come together. They blame each other.” Tracy Giambrocco Arvada
“1) The amount of TV ads, the amount of cash, the amount of auto-calls. 2) Politicians still can’t tell the truth.” Joe Joyce Arvada
“’1) Everything is so watered down, that nothing is specific. 2) Same old, same old. Nothing gets fixed, such as immigration.” Tito Muniz Arvada
‘1) The negativity. It didn’t used to be so negative and now it’s just accepted. 2) People are influenced by the ads, and they really are not becoming educated about the candidates.” Timi Wolfe Arvada

ADCO’s growth outpaces nation Construction, health care, oil and gas job sectors booming By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com From large retail developments like The Grove in Thornton and Webster Lake Promenade in Northglenn, to housing projects like Midtown in southern unincorporated Adams County to the project at Legacy Ridge in Westminster. From the construction along Interstate 25 between 120th Avenues and U.S. 36, to the work on the North Metro Line and the oil and gas activity, mainly in the eastern sections of the county. From the expansion of medical clinics to the revitalization of older neighborhoods in unincorporated areas ... economic development — big and small — flourishes in Adams County. “I think it’s really remarkable how much we’re experiencing all at once,” said Kristin Sullivan, economic development manager with Adams County. “I think we’re seeing it more than other areas. We have a lot of room for growth.” Along with these projects come jobs, lots of them. According to a report published by the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics in September, employment in Adams County increased by 4.7 percent between March 2013 and March 2014. The national average, 1.7 percent. “Adams County has 8,416 more jobs than it did a year ago,” said Barry Gore, president/CEO of Adams County Economic Development. “We started seeing an uptick last summer, and it’s been steadily increasing since then.” He estimates there to be 177,000 jobs in the county. Most of the job growth activity has been because of oil and gas exportation — up 10 percent from last year in the state, he said. “We know a very strong number of Adams County residents work in the oil and gas industry,” Gore said. There are 3,656 wells in unincorporated Adams County, 895 of those are actively producing. There are 110,000 direct and indirect jobs related to the oil and gas industry, and Sullivan said the average pay is $75,000. Many oil and gas companies are in the

Photos by Tammy Kranz testing and evaluating stages. “It’s an area we’re not sure how much growth we’ll see in Adams County,” she said, adding it will depend on how regulations affect production. Building permits will meet or exceed 2013 level, Sullivan said, and the county has focused efforts on customer service to make doing business with the county easier. The county reduced the number of days it generally takes to review building permits — from 60 days down to 14-45 days. “Something small, but will make a big difference, is that we started providing our own electrical inspection,” Sullivan said. This means the county can be a onestop shop for developers, reducing the time people spend on getting approvals and lining up inspections. While construction employment is up 8 percent in the state, Gore said, the biggest employer right now is in the healthcare industry. “Before the great recession, the construction sector was the largest employment sector in Adams County,” he said.
PROJECTS IN PROGRESS Some of the bigger developments happening in Adams County: THE GROVE

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Hansen, Pawloswski, and Domenico for Adams In 2011, Commissioner Erik Hansen joined the three-member Board of Adams County Commissioners of which I was already a member. He came in with a plan to reform county government policies and procedures and have transparency. With enthusiasm, I jumped on the bandwagon with my second vote. During the two years we served together, Erik brought forward thinking and fiscal responsibility on county issues. During the past two years under Democratic control, I have observed our county’s lack of control on fiscal matters, lack of respect toward our citizens, other elected officials, and county employees. This Nov. 4, we have the opportunity to change this by electing a Republican
majority on the board of commissioners as we go from three to five members. Commissioners are elected county wide so all registered Adams County voters can vote for these three positions on Nov. 4. I support the re-election of businessman Erik Hansen for District 3 and former Brighton Mayor Jan Pawlowski, who will continue to represent the county seat. I have had the pleasure to work with her too. Joseph P. Domenico, lifelong Adams County farmer and businessman as we as our neighbor is running for district 4. Joseph P. Domencio will bring a common sense perspective to the board. Please support Erik Hansen, Jan Pawlowski, and Joseph P. Domencio for Adams County Commissioners who will all represent citizens like you and me. Former Commissioner Alice J. Nichol

Lady Dawgs upset in first game of state Brighton falls to Columbine By Michelle Boyer
mkboyer8@gmail.com Brighton girls’ softball couldn’t shut down Columbine in the first game of the 5A State Tournament at Aurora Sports Park Friday. Columbine came back from four runs behind to defeat Brighton, 5-4. Columbine’s Rachel Mauro hit a home run which made Columbine’s destiny a reality in the seventh inning, driving in three runs. “Everyone was really supportive, and I really knew I just had to do this for the team,” she said. “This is what we’ve been working towards all year and I just got myself focused and waited for my pitch. It was straight down the middle, and a sweet spot. There was no movement; but it was pretty quick. I just saw it and drew my hands letting the bat do the rest.” Columbine had already beat Brighton earlier in regular season play. “We knew it’d be tough like the last time,” she said. “We put in the work all season. This is our goal and this is our season. We’re ready to go out and take it and not let anyone else stop us. Our confidence is pretty high right now, but our coach always tells us to play within ourselves. We have to really play our game and we’ll let what happens happen.” Columbine was defeated in their next game by Grandview 10-2. “It wasn’t the ending we’d hoped for,” Brighton Coach Robert Gonzales said. “We played well, we just had innings where we didn’t execute and get the runners in like we should’ve. They just beat us, that’s all there’s to it.” Despite playing Columbine twice in the season, Gonzales didn’t believe that made things any tougher on the Brighton team. “We dominated the game in the first five innings, and then we just didn’t execute like we should in the last two innings,” he said. “We didn’t put them away, and we had op-

We’ll be fine. “No question about the strength this
year, we should’ve played a lot better. We’ve been to state so many times. We should’ve executed better and we just didn’t.” Senior Kayla Michel completed four runs, one of which was a homerun, and she drove in three during the Columbine game. “It wasn’t my type of game to leave my senior year with,” she said. “I play every game as though it’s my last. It’s kind of hard,
because I wanted to go far as a team. I wanted to get us fired up and tried to get a rally going.” Regardless of the loss, Michel felt her team played well together at the state tournament. She believes Brighton softball has a good future. “There are still a lot of young girls on the team and we should be fine,” she said.
T-Hawks are league champions Prairie View to host rival game this week By Michelle Boyer
mkboyer8@gmail.com It’s time to cheer on the T-Hawks and the Dawgs in this week’s rival game at Prairie View High School on Friday at 7 p.m. The rivalry series is tied 2-2 over the past four years on claiming the Superintendent’s Trophy. Last year Prairie View took the trophy. Despite Prairie View’s current 7-1 record after winning against Denver East in the last 40 seconds of the game, and claiming the Flatiron’s League Championship for the second year straight, Coach Todd Riccio feels all records are out the window when it comes to the rival game. “This week the Brighton game is another huge test, and opportunity for our team and program,” Riccio said. “Both teams want to win this game and hopefully we can take the momentum from our win over Denver East, and us clinching and winning the league championship into Brighton week. We need to focus on what we need to do, and come out with a victory on Friday night.” Riccio said it won’t be easy against Brighton. “They’re a very physical team, and we need to make sure we’re ready for them and everything that they are preparing for us. We hope to play another great and complete game.” Prairie View rallied over Denver East Friday 42-38. “It was an awesome game, and a great atmosphere to play in,” Riccio said. “Our school and student body came out in force to support us down there. It was a back and
forth game all night. We had great effort from our entire team, but most importantly our offensive line of Matt, McConnell, Seth Gulley, Gary Overton, Anthony Baker and Cody Mitchell. Our defensive line of Ben Burnett, Skyler Severance, Jorge Garcia and Lovell Loftin Norris all helped. During our game winning drive our O-Line stepped up huge and gave our quarterback Ben Meraz the time he needed to lead us down the field to a game winning touchdown with 40 seconds left to play. Tavish Whelan also came up huge on that drive.” Brighton routed Thornton 35-6 Friday. Coach Pat Sandoval was happy with Brighton’s win, but felt that there were a lot of penalties and missed opportunities for scoring for the team. “This week’s rival week is big,” he said. “Prairie View is league champs, win or lose. Coach (Todd) Riccio does a great job. I’m sure we’re a big underdog this week. We just want to get better each week and play a complete game. No pressure.” Prairie View senior RJ Ramirez plays slot receiver, returns punts and kicks since he’s been a freshman. He’s looking to have his third consecutive season of over 1,000 yards rushing. He’s been all-conference running back since his sophomore year, and an allstate back last season. “My favorite thing about playing the positions I play is how much weight is on my shoulders, and how much fun it is,” he said. “My least favorite is taking some of the shots I do, like the recent one I took in the Denver East game.” He’s played football since he was 7, and his dad started him in other sports including wrestling when he was four. “I like the team aspect of football, and it’s been my dream to go far in football since I was younger so that is definitely my favorite sport.”
Prairie View receiver RJ Ramirez just completes a touchdown during the Homecoming game against Northglenn Oct. 11. Ramirez had nine carries in the game for 111 yards. Photo by Michelle Boyer Riccio looks at Ramirez as the “spark plug” for the team. “He has been a leader, not through words, but through actions,” he said. “He’s one of the toughest kids I think I’ve coached in my 10 years and that showed up in the Denver East game when he took a high hard tackle, and came back right afterwards and kept running hard all night. “RJ has been a pleasure to coach and have in our program. He’s a special athlete and is very gifted with the ball in his hands — he’s electric. His accomplishments have also come because of the selflessness of our offensive lines and their ability to block and
open up holes for him to run in.” Ramirez said even though the team has games like the Denver East game, he is always looking forward to the Brighton game the most. “I have friends that play on the Brighton team, and it’s kind of crazy playing against them, and sometimes it does get a little hectic,” he said. “I do think that it gets a little rough at times, but that’s just the rivalry and that’s what I love about it.” He believes that Prairie View is capable of winning the rival game, and they just need to use it as the momentum to go forward into the playoffs.

Cross-country season finishes at regional meet Mordecai headed to state second year By Michelle Boyer
mkboyer8@gmail.com Brighton and Prairie View cross-country teams raced in the 5A Region 4 meet last week in Northglenn. Brighton’s Dan Mordecai finished third overall at 16 minutes, 06.01 seconds. Mordecai will make his second appearance at the 5A State Championship cross-country meet at Penrose in Colorado Springs on Saturday. “The regional meet was cool,” he said. “I hope to run my best at state. The ultimate goal for the season was for me to just get better. It’s easy to run when you get the best support like my family and friend.” His friend Caitlin Cunningham, Nick DeSplinter and Angel Garza make running enjoyable for Mordecai. Mordecai finished last year at state in 75th place out of 200, with a time of 17:57. “Dan’s been working hard since going to state last year,” coach Karen Smidt said. “He dedicated himself to making the improvements we all knew he was capable of, and his perseverance paid off. I really believe that the mileage and work he put in this summer was key. I changed the way we approached our summer practices and my assistant Coach Carl, was able to run with him more this year, which I think helped tremendously. Dan really works well with Carl, and it helps that Carl is chasing his own Olympic trials quest, so they are a good match. I just call the shots and they execute them — it’s a perfect formula.” Smidt said her varsity losses will hit hard next year. “We just got Alex Gregory on the team this year, and she has moved steadily up from ninth on the team to our top 5,” she
said. “She’s the kind of athlete I wish I could’ve been training since her freshman year. Aby Smidt will be greatly missed as well, since she’s been a solid varsity top 5 runner all four years and has stepped up as a team captain. Her dedication to being a Bulldog is stronger than any athlete I’ve ever seen. “Dan Mordecai will obviously be missed, but so will Zach Pollard and Nick DeSplinter. This was Nick’s first year, and he chose cross-country over football so he could set himself up for a solid track season.” Many of the Brighton athletes plan to continue on through October and November. They’ll compete at the Nike Cross Regional meet in Arizona. If the athletes aren’t involved in a winter sport, they’ll run indoor track. Prairie View Coach Nathan Shaver is proud of his team and all the work they put in, and the way they all ran during the season and the team they became. “I know we were disappointed in the results and the times at regionals,” he said. “That’s on me and me alone. I’ll research and go to conferences and find a way to make us even better than we are now. You worked so hard. I really built up to try to get you to truly believe we could do it. I still think we can and I hope you do too. It just wasn’t our time yet. You all ran the race that was in front of you. Our region is very tough.” The Prairie View team is still building and getting better. “Girls we have a league championship, and we get to defend that next year,” he said. “Guys we know the work ahead of us, but Thornton will be losing those top guys and we’re keeping our top 10 runners for the next year.” Joe Langer and Morgan Taylor made all-conference. Bethany Hartman, Hannah Brown and Izzy Pawlak made second team all-conference.
The Bulldogs’ 4-3 win over the Thunderhawks last Thursday improved the team’s East Metro Athletic Conference record to 6-3-0, clinching the first state qualifying berth for the postseason play of the Coach Kevin Barnes era that began four years ago. This Thursday the team competes in the 5A State playoffs at Mountain Vista at 7 p.m. “It’s always a good thing to the Bulldog population to beat Prairie View, but Thursday night’s win anchored even more for us,” Barnes said. “The win marked a high point for Tanner Barnes’ high school career and offers insight into the respect he is often shown.” Tanner plays attacking midfielder or forward. He’s played on the left, right and center throughout his career. “This position is where I’m most comfortable playing,” Tanner said. “I can use all my skills in the most effective way. The only thing I don’t like about my position is that I have to run a large amount and it can be tiring towards the last few minutes of the game.” “It was a good game against Prairie View,” he said. “It was very close throughout the game. The rival game is always fun for me and very intense. That’s when I feel I play my best, when things are close and extremely intense. It’s very fun for me because I have a few friends on the other team and it’s nice to play against them.” Barnes felt the Prairie View defense marked Tanner as an attacking threat. “That made it special for me, as they tried to neutralize him as a threat,” he said. “It also opened opportunities elsewhere on the pitch. “Tanner assisted on two of the goals, including the first one off a set piece after a foul. After that, the Bulldogs never looked back. The four goals were scored by David “Churro” Compean, Ruben Castro, David Don Lucas and Marco Rivas.” As the head coach of the Brighton men’s soccer program, Barnes said he’s had the pleasure of having many gifted players involved with our program. “It goes without saying that having my son, Tanner Barnes, play for our program is a great source of pride for me, but it does present some unique challenges,” he said. “As the coach’s son, the team’s expectations are typically very high of him. As such, I may be a bit harder on him at times, but he handles it in stride.” Tanner started playing the sport at an early age. “He and I were messing around in the backyard with a ball when he was six, when I did a silly move called the “rainbow.” It’s when the ball gets behind you when you’re running with it and you kick it up and over your head with your heal so it lands in front of you
again,” he said. “He tried it a couple times with moderate success, and a couple hours later he was still out in the back yard perfecting his rainbow. Hooked on soccer, his mother and I enrolled him in recreational soccer through the Brighton Recreation Center.” Barnes may have been coaching his son most of his soccer life, but the important part is that Barnes is proud to be his father and coach. He said it’s been more Tanner’s dedication to perfecting his craft that has made the difference in him as a player. One anecdote Barnes wanted to mention about his son is that he’s responsible for mowing the lawn, but he’s very picky about how it is done. “It takes him about twice as long to mow than when I do it,” he said. “That’s because it has to be perfect. It’s because after he finishes mowing he’ll work with the ball for a couple hours on his own on the newly mowed surface. Tanner is a respectful, unselfish young man with strong loyalties to his team and teammates. He has a reputation with parents and teammates alike for helping the younger players develop, offering a kind word or dedication when needed and often encouraging them on and off the pitch.” Tanner said the start of the season was a little rough for the Brighton team. “Slowly we started to turn the season around,” he said. “We did really well in our conference and took third in league and made it to playoffs. The team really moves the ball well across the field and when everyone is on point, we’re hard to beat.” A lot of the younger players on the team are good friends with Tanner. “They are the future of Brighton’s soccer program,” he said. “I like to give them any advice I can because I like seeing them get better as players and hopefully that’ll help to improve the program in years to come.” Having his dad as a coach, Tanner said is a great thing. “He’s a good coach and he’s helped me throughout my entire career so far,” he said. “He’s coached me for around nine years. He had a big influence on me playing soccer, because it’s a game that we both love and we both have a similar idea of how to play the game.” Last year Tanner was awarded all-conference honors, and a member of the team having the highest grade point average of any 5A men’s soccer team in the state, he led last season’s varsity squad in scoring and assists, and shares scoring honors this season with his teammate, Andre Salazar, and again leads the team in assists. “He loves to embarrass other teams by distributing the ball to his teammates, but can attack the goal when necessary,” Barnes said. “Those qualities make him well respected by other players around the division.”
