areimers@ourcoloradonews.com Although the city of Westminster didn’t experience the brunt of the flood, residents did experience road closures throughout the city. At one time Huron Street between 128th Avenue and 140th Avenue was closed as well as Old Wadsworth Boulevard between 103rd and 106th Avenues. Flooding was also seen at 108th Avenue and Simms Street over the weekend. According to city officials, Standley Lake remains safe and was not threatened by the storm. Although the lake did receive a large volume of water, water levels never approached the spillway levels, and city drinking quality remains normal. Westminster Fire Department did its part in assisting Boulder County Sept. 11-13 on three operational periods. Battalion Chief Ron McCuiston said fire crews assisted in swift water rescue, wide area search, rescue of trapped residents, evacuation of trapped victims, transport to shelters and staffed command positions at the command post. “The Denver Metro Area emergency responders once again came together working in a mutual aid mode to mitigate this regional emergency,” he said. “The media coverage and video provided just scratches the surface of what Boulder County is experiencing with this hundred-year storm.” According to deputy chief Alan Kassen Westminster Fire also assisted in other areas with a three-member Urban Search and Rescue team deployed to Lyons. The team was expected to remain working in that area until at least Sept. 18. Two medics were deployed to Fort Collins to assist in the medical needs of people in shelters in that area and could be deployed there for up to two weeks. “I am incredibly proud of how our
City of Thornton employees work to remove cattails, which are wetland plants, from the railing at Brantner Gulch Creek near Shadow Ridge Middle School on Sept. 12 in Thornton. Due to heavy rainfall, the water level of the creek rose so much at one time that cattails from the creek got stuck in the railing. Photo by Ashley Reimers
Flooding prompted closures on Riverdale Road near Henderson Road in Adams County. Photo courtesy of www.facebook.com/adamscountygov fire units promptly responded to other communities in need. We will continue to provide support as we are able,” said Fire Chief Doug Hall. “In addition, the operations of our Westminster Emergency Operations Center went very smoothly. I think that demonstrates the
professionalism and cooperation that we have here between fire, police, public works, other city departments as well as with other agencies.”

Monica Ramirez’s passion for education began at 12, when she created a fossil out of Play-Doh and was immediately captivated. After that moment she knew she wanted to study geology and fossils and make education a priority in her life. “Since middle school I really knew what I wanted to do and I know it was the right decision because here, 30 years later I’m still excited about education, science and math,” she said. Ramirez is the newest dean of instruction at Front Range Community College in Westminster focused in on science, business, information systems and integrated technologies. She oversees 30 fields of study and 25 career-technical programs. Ramirez comes from Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Broward College where she was the dean of academic affairs for six years. But before that, Ramirez spent time in Germany and the jungles of Brazil working in education. She said her experience in other cultures will be a benefit to her leadership at FRCC. “Everybody learns in a different way and we need to be aware of changing demographics and cultures,” she said. “Having lived in Brazil and Germany, I’ve learned different approaches to learning and problem solving. I think jumping in and out of cultures makes me more tolerant and gives me a different perspective, which I think is one of my strengths I can share at Front Range.” Ramirez also has experience with seniors in high school, veterans and youthful offenders. She says she’s worked with the whole gamut and feels the community college atmosphere suits her best. Ramirez also hopes to create even more programs and certificates for students heading into the ever-changing career Dean continues on Page 21

Have a seat and meet the neighbors Soon after Kelli and Mark Kolar moved into their two-story home on Hughes Place 18 years ago, The Bench became part of a purposeful plan: to make a gathering place. “Everybody was always outside,” Kelli remembers, “and it was a place where you could sit and relax and watch the kids and catch up with your neighbors.” They bought a bench made of teak, a sturdy but beautiful wood known for its ability to endure all kinds of weather. At the front of the yard, to the right of the driveway and next to the sidewalk, Mark attached it to cinder blocks buried in the ground, so pranksters couldn’t run away with it some night. They planted a pine tree behind it and bushes on each side. “One of the intentions of The Bench,” Kelli says, “was that anyone could go and use it.” And we did. For years, the children would play in the cul-de-sac and we parents would huddle around The Bench. And talk. And laugh. And share the kinds of stories that forged
neighbors into friends and a street into a community. Then the children grew and lives became busier and divergent interests pulled us in different directions. The street became quieter. And so did camaraderie at The Bench. Over the years, several of the original families moved, including the Kolars. New families — some with younger children — replaced them. They became friends, chatting outside as their kids played. But the magical draw of The Bench faded with the teak.

In 2010, Rachel and Matt Keillor became the third family to live in the Kolar house. California transplants originally from the Midwest, they came with their daughter, Natalie, then 3, and their 2½-month-old son, Andrew. And then, as so often happens, an ordinary life event occurs that somehow starts a chain reaction that leads to something special. In this case: Andrew turned 2 and began to scooter. Natalie, now 6, wanted to ride her bike all the time. Rachel, a stay-at-home mom, knowing she’d be spending much of her time outside this past summer, looked to The Bench. She and Matt decided to refinish it. One weekend in May, Matt tried to move The Bench to the garage to sand it down and repaint it. That’s when he discovered the cinder blocks. And that’s when the neighbors rediscovered The Bench. Matt: “That weekend that we refinished it …” Rachel: “Every neighbor came over and talked to us.” They said: “Oh, we used to sit out here all the time.” And shared such learned wisdom as: “Seize the day. Time goes by so quickly. Enjoy the moments with your kids; soon they’ll be going off to Boulder.” And a host of tips and tricks on landscaping and weeding. And the history of the street. “It did help us to get to know the stories of our neighbors,” Rachel says, smiling, “and the people who lived in our house.” When The Bench had its new coat, Rachel added two burnt orange cushions she’d bought for a couple of dollars at a garage sale. Adrienne Miner, who moved into the cul-de-sac with her family 10 years ago, was glad to see the fresh look. She’d often wondered about The Bench. “I’ve looked at it and contemplated it over the years,” says Adrienne, who has two young sons. “I was happy to see when Rachel and Matt painted it and put some
pillows on it and made it look more inviting and not so lonely and desolate. … It made it look as important as it probably is.” Any afternoon or evening this summer, more often than not, would find Rachel — or Rachel and Matt — on The Bench watching Natalie and Andrew play. Little by little, as other children would filter into the cul-de-sac, their parents and some of us old-timers, too, would come, gravitating toward The Bench, sitting on the sidewalk or standing nearby. “When it has one person out there,” Adrienne says of The Bench, “it tends to collect other people.” The conversations are busy — about the children and their challenges and successes. School. Home improvements. Work. Life. “Just catching up,” Adrienne says, “and connecting.” Even the children have bonded with The Bench. The neighborhood girls, lately into trading rocks, store their favorites in the nook under the seat. It’s become their trading post. Kelli recently drove down the old street and happily noticed the rejuvenated bench. “It’s kind of like handing down a favorite piece of furniture,” she says. “You never know what’s going to happen. But 18 years later, it’s still being used for what we put it out there for … It’s great.” Already, the hint of cooler weather is slowing down life at The Bench. Soon, Rachel will take in the pillows so they look good for next year. And I will glance out the window to see who’s there, to find it, sadly, empty. But this time, it will only be for a little while. The Bench and its magic, I think, will be back next year.

Three vie for position of mayor Familiar faces bring a wide range of experience By Ashley Reimers
Lindsey
Come November, Westminster residents will have the responsibility of voting for a new mayor to replace Nancy McNally, who’s been the city leader since 2005. Three candidates have stepped up to the challenge, all current city councilors. Herb Atchison, Bob Briggs and Mary Lindsey are running for the position of mayor. Councilor Scott Major was in the running, before pulling out of the race on Sept. 10 due to personal reasons. Each candidate has his or her own strengths and experience but it will be up to the community of Westminster to choose the best candidate for mayor. A Westminster resident for 34 years, Atchison was first voted to city council in 1997 and served two terms. After being term-limited he left council and returned in 2011. Before serving on council, he was a member of the Westminster Planning Commission and also served on the Jefferson County Economic Development Council and the Adams County Economic Development Council. He is currently an adjunct
professor at Colorado Christian University and is an independent consultant in construction management. “I want to ensure that Westminster remains a safe and great place to live for not only my children, grandchildren and family members, but also for the other residents and business people who have chosen to be in Westminster,” he said. Atchison said because of his 30 years of service in Westminster and experience in project management, he’s committed to serving the city and its residents. He said his experience gives him an insight into the operations and daily issues of the city that no other candidate has. “My professional background in project management has afforded me the opportunity to work with many types of companies and organizations where the experience of managing projects in excess of $400 million can be utilized for the benefit of Westminster,” he said. Candidate Briggs moved to Westminster in 1943. He was elected to city council in

Atchison
Briggs
2007 and re-elected in 2011. Briggs served as an Adams County commissioner from 1979 to 1983, was a director for the Regional Transpiration District from 1999 to 2002 and was a Colorado state representative from 2003 to 2005. He was also a CEO for several small businesses for 50 years. Briggs said after being re-elected in 2011 for city council he would also run for the mayor. “I am honored to have known the last 15 men and women who have done a good job leading this city and making it what it is today,” he said. “My hope is, if elected, I can do as good a job as they have done.” For Briggs, he says experience and vision are what sets him apart. He said experience as an elected official and serving on volunteer boards have taught him how to lead with a vision for Westminster. “I have seen the opening of the DenverBoulder Turnpike in 1952 and the expansion of the water in Standley Lake,” he said. “All of these efforts relates to the vision for tomorrow. I have the passion and time to accomplish carry out that vision.” Choosing to raise her family in Westminster, Lindsey and her late husband bought a home in Westminster in the late 1970’s.
She was elected to city council in 2005 and re-elected in 2009. She’s represented the city on multiple levels and has also been a member of the city Environmental Advisory Board since 2004 and also serves on the Policy Committee for the Colorado Municipal League. Lindsey is the owner of an accounting and income tax business and is the event director/owner of Denver Ballroom Dancing. She said she’s running for mayor to continue her leadership role to keep the city a “wonderful place to live, work and raise families.” “We strive to provide a safe and secure environment that’s financially strong and sustainable with vibrant neighbors where there is community involvement and business partnerships and retention,” she said. Lindsey said because of her involvement in the city at various levels over the years and serving on council since 2005, she believes her knowledge, experience and partnerships she developed have prepared her to be the next mayor. “I manage my own small businesses from home and my schedule remains flexible to attend meetings,” she said. “I am available and responsive to my citizens.”

Eight candidates compete for three council positions By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ourcoloradonews.com With three spots up for grabs on the Westminster City Council this November, voters will have their hands full choosing among eight candidates. Councilors Scott Major, Mary Lindsey and Mark Kaiser are all term-limited this year. The top three with the most votes will be elected to a four-year term. Active in partisan politics, candidate Bruce Baker is running for council because “council has made some foolish choices.” He said he’s the best candidate because he has the ability to clearly see what is happening and has the values to say in public what is wrong.
Westminster resident since 2006, Debbie Bergamo is running because she feels it’s a calling from God. She said she’s the best candidate because “she’s not a career politician, just a regular citizen who cares about the city” and wants the opportunity to be a voice for residents. Westminster native David DeMott grew up in the Countryside neighborhood near Standley Lake. He is running for city council to make a different in a city he loves, and says he brings “work, ethic, integrity, accountability and a sense of community that will benefit the city.” Previously working as a Congressional Aid, Alberto Garcia said he is running for council because he has the knowledge and
experience to deal with issues facing the city. He said his experience at the state capitol has given him a “unique perspective into the issues facing municipalities.” Colorado native and veteran, C. Michael Litzau said he is running for council because “individuals have an obligation to return something to the community in which they live.” With years of experience on boards, Litzau said he’s learned the dynamics of working with diverse points of view. Moving to Westminster in 2005, Emma Pinter’s experience as a small business owner and attorney is the reason why she’s chosen to run for council. She said this experience has prepared her to “take on tough challenges facing the city like the redevel-
opment of Westminster Mall.” Former Westminster High School graduate A.J. Elserougi is running for council to “help improve and maintain the quality of life by enhancing the local economy.” He said he’s devoted to proactively improving the quality of the city and is committed to contributing to Westminster at a higher capacity. Twelve-year Westminster resident and Betty Adams Elementary School teacher Suzanne Ramirez is running for council to “help move the city government toward transparency.” She said it’s the responsibility of council to listen to residents and keep them duly informed on how their tax dollars are being spent.

Two face off in school board race Williams and Aultman-Bettridge vying for an open seat By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com
This fall, voters in the north and east parts of Jefferson County will get to choose between a school board candidate who is endorsed by several local Democratic office holders and another who touts herself as “the conservative choice in this race.” Tonya Aultman-Bettridge and Julie Williams, both of Westminster, are vying to fill an open District 1 director’s seat on Jeffco’s Board of Education, a nonpartisan board. The seat — which represents Westminster and much of Arvada — was vacated by Robin Johnson, who resigned from the ion. school board this summer Aultmand after she had moved away Bettridge from the district. ts, Aultman-Bettridge or do works for a private consulting firm that spest cializes in the research and evaluation of ica- areas that include child welfare and juvenile justice. She once served as the project ey coordinator for Colorado’s Safe Commu-
nities-Safe Schools initiative, which helps schools with violence-prevention training resources. Aultman-Bettridge describes herself as an “active PTA mom” who has “dedicated her professional career to researching policies and programs that change the lives of young people.” And she believes that youths achieve more when their parents are more involved in the education system. “I really want to focus on engaging parents in our school district,” she said. “Research tells us that students do better when our parents are involved.” Through her conversations with parents, Aultman-Bettridge said that she often hears positive things about Jeffco schools, but that they also have concerns. “They want to make sure that we have high standards,” she said. “Parents want to make sure that we have the resources needed to deliver a highquality education, as well as vocational training for people who are not going to college but still want to be prepared for a good career.” Aultman-Bettridge has the backing of many area Democrats, including Rep. Ed Perlmutter, Colorado Board of Education member Jane Goff. According her website, she has also been endorsed by several area Democratic state lawmakers, including Sen. Andy Kerr of Lakewood, Sen. Evie Hudak of Westminster and Sen. Jeanne Nicholson of Black Hawk.
Williams a ‘true conservative’
Williams, who is a Colorado native and a graduate of Arvada High School, manages an orthodontic office. For the last four years, she has served as the co-chair of the Special Education Advisory Committee for Jeffco Schools, a program that advocates on behalf of children with disabilities. Though she believes she can work well with people of all political stripes, Williams said she is proud to be the “conservative voice in the race.” “To me that means believing in local control and allowing parents and community members to have a voice in what’s happening in our school system,” Williams said. “And I don’t believe that is truly happening right now.” Williams likens her policy platform to that of District 2 board director Laura Boggs, the board’s current conservative voice who is not seeking reelection this Williams fall. “I align myself with her more than other members, but I would say I have a softer personality,” she said. “I’m a warrior mom, but I keep good relationships along the way.” Williams believes that the voices of parents and other community members “are being stifled” by the current board. She thinks that’s most apparent when it comes to the discussions surrounding inBloom —
the controversial student data-gathering system that the district hopes to pilot next school year, a project that Williams opposes. Like many inBloom detractors, Williams has privacy and security concerns with the system. She also doesn’t think that parents are getting enough information about the program. “We need to protect the privacy of our children and our teachers, and not put out something that’s in favor of a program that’s going to violate our kids,” she said. Aultman-Bettridge said she is “excited about the possibility of teachers being able to offer more personalized education.” However, she understands the concerns of parents who have questions about inBloom’s program. “We need to make sure that we don’t collect any data that we don’t need to collect,” she said. “Parents that have concerns about this can and should be concerned.” Whatever the issue is, Aultman-Bettridge believes that it’s important for the school board to work together as best as it can. “Now, more than at any time, the board has to be thoughtful and deliberate,” she said. “It seems like it would be easy to be constantly be chasing your tail and putting out fires. But you don’t get a do-over with a child’s education.” And Williams thinks that it’s just as important for the board to value the voice of parents. “I believe we need a mom’s voice on the board, not just an ‘educrat’s.’”
westminster city council on the record Westminster City Council voted on the following legislation during the Sept. 9 meeting. Council members in attendance were Mayor Nancy McNally and councilors Bob Briggs, Mark Kaiser, Mary Lindsey, Herb Atchison and Scott Major.

opinions / yours and ours
Planning, packing pivotal to preparedness Fire is far from our minds with last week’s rains. But we just left a summer with the worst fire in Colorado history. The Black Forest Fire took down nearly 500 homes, and the state required federal disaster aid. At the same time, the state was dotted with lesser blazes, including the Lime Gulch and Royal Gorge fires. The number of evacuations was dwarfed by the news of the number of homes lost, but it was a big hurt to many other people, their health, pets and livelihoods. And now — after what had been a relatively calm start to the month — we suddenly experience flooding and rainfall enough to have caused several deaths. So
our view it’s not difficult to be mindful of Emergency Preparedness Month in September — the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) initiative started in 2004 that involves a few simple projects. First develop an emergency plan. It’s easy. • Decide a group meeting place in case of emergency or disaster. Choose one near home and one farther away. • Identify an emergency contact person
and assign responsibilities to each family or group member. • Make some decisions about where your family should go if forced to leave the area. And make plans for the pets. Second, assemble the supplies you will need. And group everything together in a kit. Here’s a recommended list from FEMA. • Battery powered or crank radio • Weather alert radio • Extra batteries • First aid kit • Sanitary napkins • Dust mask • Water for drinking and sanitation • Water purification tablets
• Waterproof matches and a butane lighter • Crank flashlight • Plastic sheeting • Non-perishable food for at least three days • Disinfectants and medications • Medical information for entire family, including instructions about medications and health history information. We never know when Mother Nature or a man-made disaster will make us all shake in our boots. So it’s not a bad idea to go through the steps of being prepared for disaster. We hope the exercise simply amounts to an educational experience. On to fall and winter.

flooding affect you?
We talked to folks watching the rushing waters of Clear Creek in Golden, and asked them how last week’s rain and flooding affected them.
“My basement flooded with three inches of water, and now I’m waiting for the clean-up people. And of course they’re backed up. I think it’ll take a while to bounce back.” Tony Smith, Golden
“I’m from Littleton and we lucked out, it was kind of in a U-shape around us. I’m feeling lucky it missed us, but sorry for everyone else who was affected.” Kim Holland, Littleton
“We traveled here for a concert and were going to stay in Estes, so it definitely changed our plans. We are from Iowa, so we’ve seen some flooding. It takes a while to clean up, years to rebuild, and you have to be patient.” Bobbie Cranston, Iowa
“It didn’t directly affect us. It rained for five, six days straight, and I was thinking this is great for the trees and grass, but then you see the flooding on the news, tragic.” Aaron Anderson, Lakewood

Some years ago a book called “When Bad Things Happen to Good People” became a best seller. Written by Rabbi Harold Kushner, it explains in simple terms why bad things sometime happen in our world.
Here in Colorado
After a long dry summer, the rains came and came and now we know what “too much” really means. As I write this column, it now has been raining for almost a week and more is forecast. And when it started coming and not stopping the forecasters first called it a deluge which then turned into a flood and now we call it a “bad thing”.
Once again
I well remember on Colorado Day, Aug. 1, 1976 when Colorado experienced a flood of epic proportions. As matter of fact we were vacationing in my hometown of Sauk Centre, Minn. and had not heard any local Colorado news. My sister, a nurse, had a doctor ask her whether she had a sister living in Colorado. He then told her of the huge flood. All the roads in Northeastern Colorado were closed and especially the South Platte River spilled over for miles. After waiting it out for four days we needed to get back. But it was so scary with Bob trying to find roads that were passable. We made it home but I’ll never forget kissing the dry street when we finally made it back.
Another one
And of course the Big Thompson Can-
yon flood was the ultimate “bad things” label. In that deluge 169 people lost their lives. Given the immensity of our current flooding, it is amazing that more lives have not been lost. For those lives lost, it is a terrible tragedy for their families. Once again we have to accept that bad things happen all around us, and sometimes it happens to us. Let’s do all we can to help those in need and say prayers of Thanksgiving that most of us are safe and sound. P.S. Coming out of church Sunday guess what we found? “It was raining.” We had prayed for rain earlier in the month and down it came. So let’s thank God for the good times and keep away the bad times. Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned. P.P.S. Do read Rabbi Kushner’s book. It will give you solace. Vi June is past Democratic state representative for House District 35.

No longer in the mood? Try this s
Dear Neil: My husband and I were married at a very young age — he was 21 and I was 19. We’ve now been married 25 years and have successfully raised a loving family. We are currently empty nesters in our mid-40s. In the past 2 years our jobs have ree changed, and we both are working from home. We get along wonderfully, spend every weekend together, and we share many mily, of the same interests. But the spark between us has died ons romantically. I don’t feel that wanting like e or I have through the years. I wonder if it has hakesomething to do with the fact that we’re almost never apart. Can you help? No Longer in the Mood in Colorado he Dear No Longer: Sexual drive for fee males often follows — rather than leads — n their arousal. That means that instead of the whole sexual experience being driven by your libido (as perhaps it used to be), it may now be driven by thinking about sex, allowing yourself to get interested, by making the decision to be sexual, by being receptive to it and by being creative with sexual play. That means helping yourself get there instead of waiting for desire to
overwhelm the show. If arousal comes first, before you start to feel sexual, (and an estimated 30 percent of adult women find this true), then it is unwise to wait for yourself to feel erotic before you engage in sexual activity. So try this: First, as you wisely guessed, eroticism between you and your husband may need more separateness. Since you work both at home, finding things to do separately after work or on weekends (a yoga class, a bridge club, a self-interest class) may heighten your interest in reuniting with each other and feeling more aroused.
Oftentimes, passion needs some distance, and desire needs a little bit of mystery. Second, it is perhaps more important than it used to be to be sensually and erotically playful with each other. Cuddling, snuggling, sensuous full body massages, touching, kissing — not to mention prolonged foreplay — may assist you in getting in the mood, and it almost certainly assists you in feeling closer to each other. Third, one barrier to taking off your clothes may be how you feel about your body — or how attractive you feel. Could a negative body-image be in your way? If so, do something about that issue, because you are not going to feel a lot of desire if you feel self-conscious and unappealing. Forth, try adding something romantically different: a weekend getaway someplace new, rent a sexy video, wear lingerie, experiment with a couple of new positions, try leaving “naughty” voice mail or text messages. If your sex life has become routine and feels ho-hum, of course it will be harder to be excited about. Fifth, are you still routinely sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings with each
other? Sometimes familiarity leads people to quit being curious about each other (I already know how you feel about most everything). But building a shared dream, exploring new interests or discovering new adventures together is stimulating and interesting. Sharing our innermost thoughts and feelings is one of the things that helps us feel close and connected. Finally, see if you can introduce an element of novelty, creativity or surprise to the act. Try being a seductress and take the sexual lead, dress up (rather than undress) for the occasion or try an unusual time of day. Try making it less familiar and predictable, so you can defeat that same/old same/old mentality. Neil Rosenthal is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Westminster and Boulder, Colorado.

Simple decisions change the course of lives Some decisions require soul searching, the weighing of pros and cons, and consultations with loved ones. Perhaps you leave a great job to take a chance on a promising start-up. You decide that your friend from kindergarten is actually the love of your life. You move across the state, the country, the world because you think you can make a difference. These are big life-changing decisions. But it’s the simple decisions we make every day, often without a second thought, that can have the biggest impact. When you turn right instead of left and find your missing pet. When you step up to a slot machine — where someone else had been pumping in tokens — and win with one spin. Or when, on July 31, 1976, you decide to go home when it starts raining. After a day on the Big Thompson, you drive back to Greeley instead of camping along the river with friends. And then you wake up to the radio on Colorado Day to hear the names of the people who were killed or are missing in the Big Thompson Flood. As you may have guessed, this happened to me. And our latest Colorado disaster brought this memory crashing back … college kids getting away from campus
to a forest playground up Highway 34, swimming in the river, and playing a halfhearted game of croquet on our friends’ lawn along the banks of the Big Thompson. And then it began to rain, not a torrent, but enough to make the prospect of spending the night in a tent unappealing. So we made the decision to go home. To head back down the canyon in my roommate’s rusty-green Chevy Caprice. To sleep in our own beds. To wake to a world that was changed forever. Such a simple decision, as simple as choosing one brand of cereal over another. Because of that decision, I’m here to write about it today. But more than 140 other people didn’t make it out, including five who were never found. Our friends perished as they tried to cross the river in their
truck and were swept off the bridge. And, just as frightening as it was in 1976, the floods of 2013 tore away homes and businesses, ripped apart pasts and futures. And took too many lives. So the people of Colorado — and neighboring states — made the simple decision to help. They chose to wade into intersections to help stranded drivers. They chose to rescue their neighbors’ pets. They delivered clothes and food and supplies to evacuation shelters. They went online and donated money to help rescue agencies continue to provide comfort. People from fire, sheriffs’ and police departments, the State Patrol and the National Guard, and countless volunteers persisted day and night in their rescue ef-
forts — on the ground, in rafts, in helicopters — with dogged determination and heart-wrenching tenderness. The news media, too, stayed on the job around the clock with flash flood warnings, road closures, and updated reports for those of us hungry for information as the disaster unfolded. Such simple decisions, decisions made without a second thought. Simple decisions that changed the course of so many lives.

Dealing better with disagreement You may have noticed that I don’t particularly shy away from debates. I love the exchange of ideas, the opportunity to articulate and clarify a point of view, and, sometimes, the fun of yanking somebody’s chain. But, by far, the best part is when two competing ideas get put on the table and from within them a smarter, better third way is found. I assume that some people are going to disagree with me, but if we listen, we might create solutions. That only happens when the debating parties approach it from a position of respect. Sadly, that doesn’t always happen. Take, for instance, a “Manifesto” recently published in Slate magazine by Allison Benedikt titled “If You Send Your Kid to Private School, You Are a Bad Person.” Very respectful start, dontcha think? In it, Ms. Benedikt argues that part of the reason public schools are struggling right now is because the people who have the resources to save their children from a mediocre education are doing just that—putting them in private school. She describes such people as “morally bankrupt” and “not bad like murderer bad, but bad.” This is the way of things in 21st-century America. For too many, disagreements are never legitimate expressions of a different solution, they are manifestations of a character flaw. If you don’t agree with affirmative action, it’s never allowed that it might be because you don’t believe in inequality of any kind, even benevolent — it’s because you’re a racist. Don’t agree with the Senate’s version of immigration reform? It couldn’t be because you believe in enforcing laws and
Private Party national sovereignty — it’s because you’re a xenophobic racist. Big fan of the Affordable Care Act? You must be a communist. Don’t believe in gay marriage? It’s never because that’s what your Faith tells you — it’s because you’re homophobic. I think people who argue that way do so because they don’t have good arguments to make on their own. I’m a fan of the public schools — I believe in their mission and I believe in the vast majority of the people who work in the schools. But we do have some problems, most of which would be solved if every parent took their parenting responsibilities as seriously as private school parents: read to them every night, get them a good breakfast every morning, teach them ambition and self-discipline. But, whatever the case may be, nothing and nobody gets served by dismissing the opposition as lesser people. What that does is create power struggles, but not many solutions.

Gun-rights backers drive point home Two recall elections show which side had more passion By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com The message that was sent by Pueblo and Colorado Springs voters who turned out to defeat two Democratic state lawmakers in separate recall elections was clear: Don’t mess with our guns. There’s no question which side of the gun-control debate was more energized when the votes were cast Sept. 10. The day marked the defeats of Senate President John Morse and Sen. Angela Giron, in historic recall elections that were spurred by their votes on bills aimed at tougher gun-control laws. “I think we simply did not realize the extent to which those who support less firearm regulation ... were motivated to get to the polls,” said Bob Loevy, a political scientist at Colorado College. “Those who opposed less firearm regulation felt more strongly than those seeking more firearm regulation.” Morse, of Colorado Springs, lost his Senate District 11 seat by 255 votes, in an election that drew about 18,000 voters. Morse’s
race was close; Giron’s wasn’t. The Pueblo lawmaker lost by more than 4,000 votes, from more than 34,000 that were cast in the Senate District 3 election. “Giron being recalled in a safe Democratic seat — I’ll say the word, shocking,” said Loevy. “I think the size of her defeat and the fact that the president of the Colorado Senate — somebody who has served in that body for seven years, who is widely respected in the state — sends a powerful message.” State Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, said Morse has only himself to blame for the election loss, for insisting on pursuing “citizen-control” gun bills. “I am relieved to see that voters across the political spectrum stood up for their constitutional rights,” said Holbert. “We are elected to represent the people, not to negotiate with those rights. I hope that members of the other party, those who voted for the bills, will think about that.” But Democrats — while they certainly are disappointed with the election results — say it’s important to keep the results in perspective, considering that the elections were decided by a small percentage of Colorado voters. “This was a very small number of voters that turned out,” said state Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood. “They were very passionate, but a small sliver of the total population of
each district.” But Loevy doesn’t think it’s possible for the results to be overstated, arguing that the results — which received national attention — could cause Democrats everywhere to think twice about the future pursuit of guncontrol laws. “Each district makes up only 3 percent of the electorate in Colorado, but this election will have a tremendous impact in the state and beyond its boundaries,” he said.
Tough votes for some Dems
Democrats probably didn’t know at the time that gun-control bills that were being passed during this year’s legislative session would result in first-of-their-kind recall elections. But they knew that the legislation had the potential of putting some Democrats in a tough spot with voters down the road. Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge, voted for bills that instituted universal background checks on gun sales in the state, but voted against another bill that bans ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. And Jahn nearly had to make tough votes on bills that died before making it to the Senate floor: legislation that would have banned the carrying of concealed guns on college campuses, and another bill, sponsored by Morse, that would have placed strict liability on gun owners and manufac-
turers whose weapons were used in crimes. “I think it was too much on that issue,” Jahn said of gun-control efforts. “Strict liability was way too far-reaching for me. You have to look at ramifications and consequences. I do believe that some of them were not good pieces of legislation.” Kerr voted for the limit on ammunition magazines and universal background checks, but voted against a separate bill that requires people to pay for their own background checks. And Kerr said he was the reason why Morse didn’t bring the liability bill to the Senate floor. “I went to him and said to him I couldn’t support it,” Kerr said. “I ended up being the swing vote, causing that bill to not be brought up for a vote. He needed 18 votes and he had 17 without me.” But Kerr backs the votes he cast in support of bills that toughen gun laws and said he’s not concerned about the potential effect that the recall elections could have on future gun-control legislation, both here and nationally. Nor is he worried about backlash from voters in his own swing district. “It’s like anything else in life; if you do it from a place of fear, you won’t do a very good job,” Kerr said. “Any one vote or series of votes that cost any of us our political careers, I think it’s worth it. It’s worth standing up and doing the right thing.”
Study continues for ‘Western Beltway’ Public sees tolling as a funding option for project By Amy Woodward
awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com Jeffco engineers have pieced together the Western Beltway in increments for the past 45 years. As the project circles back to the west, developers had an open house on Sept. 10 at the Jeffco Fairgrounds, showcasing the history and progression of the transportation project, and inviting public feedback on possible funding options for the remaining segments. Although the segments are still in the planning phase, the four portions left to discuss, design, and construct are the Interlocken Loop; the Jefferson Parkway; Highway 93 to the northern limits of Golden and its continuation to U.S. 6 in Golden. Open house visitors got a chance to weigh in on potential funding options like increased property tax, sales tax, and li-
cense plate fees. One option that received the most votes was funding through tolling, with increased license plate fees coming in a close second, and a tolled managed lane in third. “It’s going to happen,” Rex Davis of unincorporated Jeffco said about the WestConnect project. “The thing we can only do is ensure it happens in a good manner,” with little impact on residents.” An agreement was made earlier this year between CDOT and the city of Golden to relocate Highway 93 to the west so its alignment is consistent with Golden’s desire to maintain current speed limits, develop structures to help mitigate noise, and provide opportunities for pedestrian crossing. As the city and county continue to work together, there is still one more issue facing Golden: The impact a toll funded highway will have on Golden’s city streets. Traffic in the city could increase should commuters decide to use “side streets” as a way to avoid toll costs. “Implementation of any tolling option, all-toll or managed lanes, can have sev-

Watermedia exhibit
streams into Art Center Center’s longest-running exhibit reaches 40th year By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com
T
he Foothills Arts Center is celebrating its 45th year, and its longest running exhibit is right behind. The 40th annual Rocky Mountain National Watermedia (RMNW) exhibit — the gallery’s longest running exhibit — will run Sept. 21 through Nov. 3. The gallery, 809 15th St. in Golden, is closed on Mondays, open on Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. Watermedia is any art that is water based, including watercolors, acrylic, gouache and mixed media. “This show is in many ways one of the things the FAC was founded on,” said Becky Guy, coordinator of juried exhibitions at the center. “A lot of the artists in the early days were looking for a place to exhibit their work, and Foothills provided that.” Marianne Lorenz, curator at the center, said the exhibit has been an integral part of Foothills’ journey. She added that the exhibit has helped the center grow its reputation, while providing a chance for some of
the best watermedia in the country to be displayed. “We have some artists who are on display every year, like Peggy Stenmark and Carole Barnes,” Lorenz said. “There are societies all over the country who focus on this art, and we’re able to show work from many of them.” Guy said many of these groups were formed out of a desire to see new works featured, instead of oil paintings, which were so often the best received paintings. “Each society has their own rules and tweaks on the rules, and they’ve expanded past just water color to these other forms like acrylic and gouache,” she said. “It’s great to have all these other techniques being used. All the works aren’t just behind glass anymore.” The juror for the show is William “Skip” Lawrence, an artists from Maryland, who had to whittle down more than 600 submissions into a 80 piece show. Submissions came from all over the country, and while some did come from Colorado, the majority are from out of state. Guy said around 10 to 12 awards are given to different pieces, and the winners were
selected by Fran IF YOU GO Larsen, an artist WHAT: 40th annual from Santa Fe, N.M. Rocky Mountain National “All the works watermedia exhibit have to be created in the past year, WHERE: Foothills Art so visitors will reCenter ally get to see what 809 Fifteenth St., Golden is new in the medium,” Guy said. WHEN: Sept. 21 through “There have been Nov. 3 advances in the past Mondays - Closed 10 years in both the materials and meTuesdays through Saturdium that allows for days - 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. some new stuff to Sundays - noon to 5 p.m. be done.” Guy said the COST: Adults - $5 show will be a mix Seniors (65 and older) - $3 of the new and the Members, children and old, and fans of students with IDs - Free watermedia will all find something to INFORMATION: www. enjoy. foothillsartcenter.org “We want to bring recognition to the country about the medium and those who have mastered it,” Lorenz said. For more information visit www.foothillsartcenter.org.
“Beverly Hills Cop” movie franchise actor and Fort Collins resident John Ashton is about as happy as it gets for someone who has chosen and endured a rather tortured profession. Ashton has ridden the Hollywood rollercoaster, especially after finding fame in the Eddie Murphy vehicles “Beverly Hills Cop” and “Beverly Hills Cop II” playing the curmudgeonly Detective Sgt. John Taggart. Ashton, who retreated to a relatively quiet life in Fort Collins years ago because Hollywood felt like an ill-fitting suit, is back in the movie game with “Uncle John,” an independent film where he stars as the namesake character in this murder mystery set in Wisconsin and Chicago. The movie will likely travel to the Sundance Film Festival or, if luck has it, first to producer/director David Lynch, who worked with “Uncle John” writer and producer Erik Crary on the film “Inland Empire” in 1996. But Ashton, who earlier this week parted company with his agents, is most fired up about this movie, which he says has brought him back to his original journey to become an actor who does meaningful work. “It’s the best script I’ve read in years,” Ashton told me during a phone interview. “It’s something I’ve been begging my agents for me to do. I read the script and said, ‘Man, I’m on board.’ I don’t think I’m going to work for anybody over 40 anymore.” Like I said, Ashton plays the title character who is a level-headed guy who helps out his neighbors with fix-it jobs in rural Wisconsin. “He’s Uncle John,” Ashton said. “Everybody loves him. He fixes people’s water pipes and cabinet doors. The honesty of the character I loved.”
Have a ball
“The View” co-host Sherri Shepherd and Denver’s own nice rich guy David Mandarich, along with his wife, Bonnie, will be honored for their philanthropic work with the High Hopes Awards during The Children’s Diabetes Foundation Carousel Ball 2013 on Sept. 21 at the Denver Marriott City Center. The Carousel Ball, founded in 1977 in Denver by Barbara Davis and her late husband Marvin Davis, raises money for programs for clinical care and research for more than 6,000 children and adults at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes.

Family adventure on the frontier Fe Some days, you just want to chuck it all. If you could, you’d throw your alarm clock out the window and let birds be your wake-up call. You’d perform morning ablutions creekside, with the sun to dry your back. No more rat race, commute, or crowds. Some days, you’d be perfectly happy in the mountains, living off the land. And in “Pilgrim’s Wilderness” by Tom Kizzia, you’ll read about a man who took his family to do just that – and ran afoul of the law. Nestled in the Wrangell Mountains, tiny McCarthy, Alaska, is little more than a “ghost town.” Yes, a few stalwart folks call it home year-round, but a stranger is an unusual sight in the middle of January — so in 2002, when a man with a long, unkempt beard showed up in town with his 15-member family, he created quite a stir. Calling himself Papa Pilgrim, he said that God had sent them to Alaska to set up a homestead. There, they’d live like frontiersman of old, with no electricity, no plumbing, and with whatever food they could grow or hunt. Like McCarthy, Pilgrim’s camp was inside a National Park which, in Alaska, was legal. The road he bulldozed through the park, though, was not. Within months, Pilgrim butted heads with Park Service rangers, resulting in a war of words and a flurry of lawyers — something of which Pilgrim had a long history. His real name was Bobby Hale, and he hailed from Texas where his first teenage wife died under suspicious circumstances. He married again and moved to New Mexico, and children came along about every other year. They were raised by stealing and poaching. None of them went to school.

Th mins But though many supported Pilgrim andno d his anti-government stance, and though hemore could be eloquent, there was darkness be-ture Th hind the charming façade he displayed. The light-fingered ways Pilgrim em-cake ployed in New Mexico followed him to Alas-Stati ka, says Kizzia, as did the poaching. Despitestart several warnings from the NPS, Pilgrim W resolutely did whatever he wanted to do onterta sical federal land. That bothered a lot of people. But whatcoun was worse, some said, was the eerie waywalk rade, that Pilgrim’s children behaved… I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that Th started out with a more exciting prologueout t and ended with a bigger slam-bang-dunkbetw than this one. Yep, “Pilgrim’s Wilderness” isStree N that good.
With a reporter’s eye for detail, author Tom Kizzia gives readers a sense of horror mixed with rugged beauty and nature’s harshness found in the mountains in which this story occurred. There’s Hollywood and JFK here, a defi- Ex nite feel of The Wild West, plenty of individ-can ualism, and a pioneering spirit that reallyand starts to break apart about mid-tale.

Festival features live music, entertainment By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ourcoloradonews.com The Orchard Festival in historic Westminster continues to grow and this year is no different. With over 80 booths and even more events, the Sept. 28 festival will feature more music, food and fun for all. The day begins with the Fireman’s Pancake breakfast 7-9 a.m. at Westminster Fire Station 1, 3948 W. 73rd Ave., followed by the start of the festival at 10 a.m. With a packed day of activities and entertainment, festival-goers can enjoy musical entertainment from jazz, Top 40 and country bands from the Denver area, a cake walk, miniature horses, bake off, pet parade, jump house and many art vendors. The festival, which stretches throughout the historic district along 73rd Avenue between Bradburn Boulevard and Osceola Street, will end at 7 p.m. New this year is a farmers market, food
trucks and a beer garden featuring selections from Odyssey Beerwerks. “The Historic Westminster Orchard Festival is unique because no matter how big we get we keep the small town feel,” said South Westminster Arts Group, SWAG, president Debbie Teter. “We still offer a bake-off at Aar River, Cake Walk at Iddle Bits and at the Rodeo Market Community Art Center we always offer free activities for families as well as an interactive public art project.” Teter said the festival is an opportunity for people in the community to meet local business owners and members of nonprofit organizations, as well as vote on sculptures that will go into the 73rd Avenue Sculpture Garden, the SWAG public art-onloan project. This year’s Orchard Festival is sponsored by SWAG, Rocky Mountain Bottle Company and the North Metro Arts Alliance. For more information, visit http:// southwestyartsgroup.com.
Free crisis-recovery counseling available Experiencing a natural disaster event can result in physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual shifts, some of which can be disconcerting and unsettling. Such events can create a sense of being out-of-control of the environment, disrupting the ability to meet basic needs such as shelter, food, and water, and facing potential or actual loss of home or loved ones. People House, a non-denominational, non-sectarian spiritual nonprofit organiza-
tion of promoting personal growth, is announced a recent partnership with Community Holistic Health Center, which will enable flood counseling services to also be provided in Lafayette, located at 409 S. Public Road. Any one in need of counseling services is asked to call the People House administrative offices at 303-480-5130 to set an appointment or visit www.peoplehouse. org for a listing of local interns or practitioners.

For more on flood information in Westminster, visit www.ci.westminster.co.us. Rich Neumann, communications manager with Adams County, said he is unaware of any unaccounted for people in the county and doesn’t know how much structural damage has been done. “At this point we do not know all of the specifics, but we assume most personal property damage will result from flooded basements. Some agriculture damage is also possible (i.e. crop damage),” he said. “To this point we’ve been focused on keeping citizens safe.” Several roads in Adams County were closed on Sept. 12-15 at one point or another because of the flooding, including 128th Avenue at Riverdale, 124th Avenue between Riverdale and Old Brighton Road, Highway 76 at 88th in the eastbound lane, Riverdale between Colorado Boulevard

and 104th Avenue and Riverdale between McKay and 112th Avenue. “Most roads that were unpassable remained closed for anywhere between 24 and 72 hours,” Neumann said. “The flooding was the result of saturated soils that could no longer absorb water, which led to massive demands on infrastructure and streams.” However, despite the road closures, he said not much damage was reported for roadways or bridges. The Adams County Animal Shelter Adoption Center and the Adams County Regional Park took in displaced animals from evacuees in the Irondale area of Commerce City. “It is hard to imagine the stress of being evacuated from one’s home during a disaster of this type,” said Adams County Board of Commissioners Chair Eva J. Henry in a statement. “If we can ease the mind of evacuees even a little bit by providing a temporary, caring home for their animals, then we are doing our job of showing our concern for and commitment to our community.”

Horizon football crushes Northglenn Norse remain defeated By Kate Ferraro
kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com Horizon High School football team scored 21 points in the first quarter and 24 points in the second quarter Sept. 13 to guide the Hawks to a 52-0 victory against Northglenn at Five Star Stadium. After going 0-2 the first couple games of the season with a 37-7 loss and 26-7 defeat, the Hawks rustled up a much-needed triumph before facing an undefeated Columbine team.
“We lost pretty big losses the last two weeks,” senior running back Jordan Iacovetta said. “I think it was really important for next week’s game. We have to come out and play Columbine at their homecoming. We have to be ready.” The Hawks scored seven touchdowns by seven different players. Senior running back Gunnar Campbell took a handoff from quarterback Ayden Karraker for the first touchdown in the first quarter, giving Horizon the 7-0 lead. Defensive back Dominick Castiglione ran in the second touchdown, while Karraker ran the ball himself into the end zone for the third touchdown of the game, mak-
Gators get win number six Standley Lake soccer earns a shut-out in wet match By Kate Ferraro
kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com After three days of torrential rain, the clouds parted long enough at the North Area Athletic Complex Sept. 13 for the Standley Lake boys soccer team to play one half against Conifer. The rain came down once again after 40 minutes of play with the rest of the match being canceled. But 40 minutes was enough for the Gators to get the job done. Standley Lake won the game 5-0 and is now 6-0 on the season. The Gators have been shutting out teams all year including against Westminster, Prairie View and Centaurus. “We’ve got good players and a great team,” Head Coach Jeff Vigil said. “We want to be a team and work hard. Everybody wants each other to succeed.” Standley Lake has scored 21 goals compared to only three goals against. The Gators have a variety of players scoring the goals, however sophomore Kyler Fowkes leads the team with six goals and 14 points.
ing the score 21-0. Kicker Jayson Jones contributed to the scoring by opening up the second quarter with a field goal. Runningbacks Bryce Killmon, Iacovetta and Josh Blottiaux each scored once securing a 45-0 lead at halftime. “We needed it,” head coach Frank Ybarra said about the victory. “They knew that they could get this one, and they knew they had to get it in a big way to build their confidence back up so it was huge.” Running back Keenan Wilson took a handoff from quarterback Austin Gussman in the fourth quarter for the 52-0 win. Iacovetta scored one touchdown and had
54 punt return yards. “An angry Jordan is a good Jordan,” Ybarra said. “At the beginning of the year, I said that guy is a threat to score every time he touches the ball and he really is.” The Hawks will travel Sept. 20 to play Columbine at Jeffco Stadium, a team whose ranked No. 10 in Colorado. “We have to play a perfect game next week,” Ybarra said. “We got rid of a lot of our mental mistakes tonight. If we play flawless and they come out with the same intensity as they did tonight, we have a chance. But if we play like we did the first two weeks, it’s going to be tough. We can’t let the momentum slip away.
“Kyler has a ton of talent and is very athletic,” Vigil said. “He just knows how to score goals. He’s so fast and reads the game really well.” Fowkes didn’t wait to get started, scoring the first goal of the game after three minutes of play. The sophomore was just outside the box when he lobbed the ball over Conifer goalkeeper Erich Schreier for a 1-0 lead. Junior Adam Williams had the assist. The next three goals were scored within four minutes of each other. With 25 minutes left in the half, Williams assisted sophomore Nick Rosser when he scored, giving the Gators a 2-0 lead. “He’s another sophomore who in the last two years has grown as a soccer player,” Vigil said of Rosser. “He picks things up quickly.

Jaguars lose third-place spot to Community Christian By Kate Ferraro
kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com Jefferson Academy volleyball won fourth place in the Sideout Showdown tournament Sept. 13-14 at Jefferson Academy High School. After the Jaguars lost their first game to Kennedy 2-0, they came back and beat Lake County 2-1. The Panthers took the first set 17-25 where Jefferson Academy didn’t lead once in the set. But the Jaguars roared right back winning two sets in a row for the victory. “The first set I mixed them up and they were really confused,” Head Coach Janelle Bennett said. “I know they know how to play as a team cohesively, but when they’re messed up, it makes it worse. The second set I put them back in the normal order. It was a mental game to get them working as a team and it worked.” The Jaguars led the second set the entire match and even went on a 4-0 run two different times, once while libero Brittany Kovalaski was serving. Jefferson Academy won the second set 25-18 and won the third 15-8. Kovalaski had 54 digs and eight aces in the game against Lake County. Kovalaski played the libero position on JV last year and moved up this year as a junior. “She moves really well,” Bennett said of Kovalaski. “She gets to the ball every time.” Jefferson Academy had 177 digs total and 86 kills. Thirty of those kills belonged to outside hitter Alexa Carroll, a senior who’s been on varsity for three years. Bennett said she put Carroll at the setter position, because she felt like a leader needed to be out on the court. “She’s one of my power hitters,” Bennett said. “She was nervous, so it was really tough for her that first set, but when I got her back into her comfortable position playing outside, she killed the ball which was what I was hoping for.” The Jaguars moved on in the tourna-

They also lost the second set 2523, settling for the fourth place finish out of eight teams. Even though Jefferson Academy didn’t win the tournament, Bennett took it as a good experience for the team. “We’ve got the whole season to go,” Bennett said. “It’s just the beginning tournament. It’s a good learning lesson for them.” The Jaguars are 3-4 on the season and will play Lutheran Sept. 19, at home.

Jeffco football highlights: Bulldogs survive OT shootout Jefferson Saints improve to perfect 4-0 By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com Arvada: The Bulldogs survived in what could turn out to be one of the most dramatic games of the season beating Skyview 48-47 in overtime Friday at Trailblazer Stadium. Arvada senior Travin Haris had 135 allpurpose yards and a pair of touchdowns, and senior Jesse Jackson recorded 12 catches and a rushing touchdown. The victory was also the first for Arvada’s new head coach Matt Cisneros. The Bulldogs (1-2) will host Eagle Valley Thursday at 7 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Alameda: Tough luck is quickly turning into the theme of the Pirates’ 2013 season. For their third straight game Alameda was barely beaten, this time falling 30-25 Friday at Englewood. The loss was the third game in a row that Alameda has lost by eight points or less, and even though the team fell to 0-3 with the loss, there were chances that the Pirates could have been 3-0. Alameda will play D’Evelyn Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Arvada West: The Wildcats hung on for a 35-25 victory at Hinkley on Saturday. The win was A-West’s second consecutive win after opening the season with a 22-0 shutout loss to Overland. The Wildcats (2-1) will try to make it three in a row then they host Chatfield Friday at 7 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex. Bear Creek: The Bears suffered their first loss of the season falling to Mountain Vista 16-14 Thursday at Jeffco Stadium. Down 10-0 Bear Creek rallied with two second quarter touchdowns to take a lead, but they never scored again and Mountain Vista scored six points in the fourth quarter to secure the win.

Bear Creek will host ThunderRidge Saturday at 1 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium. D’Evelyn: The Jaguars got back on track with a blowout 40-3 road victory Friday at Grand Junction Central. D’Evelyn senior receiver Cameron Brown caught two touchdowns, and Trent Walker recorded seven tackles and two sacks in the win. The victory was the third times this season that the Jaguars have scored at least 40 points. The Jaguars (3-1) will host Alameda Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Green Mountain/Golden: The Demons were no match for the Rams falling 39-0 Friday at North Area Athletic Complex. Green Mountain moves to 2-1 on the season beating up on fellow Jeffco squad
Golden, who is still searching for their first victory of the season. The Rams rebounded from a 38-20 loss at Bear Creek last week and Golden’s new head coach Jason Neely is trying to turn his struggling program around. Green Mountain will host Grand Junction Central Friday at 4 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Golden will host Wheat Ridge Thursday at 7 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium. Faith Christian: Despite 23 first downs the Eagles were downed by Kent Denver 28-23 Friday at Kent Denver High School. Kent Denver scored 21 second quarter points to take a big lead, but Faith Christian would chip away and take the lead back in the fourth quarter. However, Kent Denver would score late, sending the Eagles to their second
straight loss. Eagles Sophomore Adam Buchanan had a monster game, rushing for 126 yards and two touchdowns. Faith Christian (2-2) will host Skyview Friday at 7 p.m. Jefferson: The Saints marched to a perfect 4-0 with their 49-0 victory at Denver Christian Saturday at Jeffco Stadium. One of the great stories in Colorado High School sports continues as Jefferson manhandled the Crusaders. The Saints have been literally carried by their senior running back Jovanni Lucero who is averaging 129.4 rushing yards per game this season.
