ALL PART OF THE ROUTINE
Westminster Mall area targeted for redevelopment By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ourcoloradonews.com Hoping to gain some input from the community, the City of Westminster hosted two open houses displaying the draft plans for the new downtown on the site of the former Westminster Mall. The events, one at The Mac on Sept. 18 and the other at the City Recreation Center the following evening, gave residents the opportunity to put their two cents in on what they thought of the plans. “I think it’s nice to have the chance to get to see the plan and also get to make comments on the plan,” said Westminster resident Mary Rockling. “So far I like the plan, and I’m looking forward to seeing buildings actually start to fill up the vacant space.” The plans, which include multi-story office and residential buildings, unique public space and vibrant shopping areas, were initially revealed to city council and the community on Aug. 26. The city is working closely with urban planning firm Torti Gallas and Partners to design the 105-acre space at U.S. 36 and Sheridan Boulevard, and full build-out will take 20 to 30 years. Before beginning the planning process, the city hosted an open house last year to gain input and knowledge on what the community wants to see out of their downtown. “We took all the suggestions and comments from the first open house as well as the comments and vision of city council and staff to come up with the design,” said city planning manager Mac Cummins. “We think we have a win-win-win here. The plan is a combination of public outreach and discussion with city council and what we came up with is a cultural gathering place.” City Manager Brent McFall also said the plans line up with the view of the community. “This is a bold plan that lines up with the vision for a new downtown that our community has been calling for,” he said. “At the end of this process, we will have a development opportunity that is unique not just in Colorado but in the country.” Cummins said key components of the development include land uses, public parks and plazas, multi-modal circulation and access to transit, urban design, development flexibility and taking advantage of the views from the Front Range and the views in the actual downtown area. He said this kind of project is a city planner’s dream. “This is probably the most exciting thing anyone in government ever gets the chance to do,” he said. “It’s community building at a fundamental level. And to be able to help build a community, there is nothing more exciting.” For residents who couldn’t make the open houses, an online version was also available on WestyConnect, www.westyconnect.us, Sept. 18-25. Following the public outreach, city staff will take the draft plans to the planning commission in mid-October, followed by action from city council in late October.

Officials back school funding question Amendment 66 would fund School Finance Act By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Prominent Jefferson County officials tried to convince attendees at a Sept. 21 Golden town hall meeting to support a November ballot question that seeks $950 million in new taxes to fund an overhaul to the state’s school finance system. Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson fielded questions about the ballot measure from a small audience, along with state Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge, and state Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk, whose legislative district includes Jefferson County. The three women are backers of Amendment 66, a measure that will expand school programs and change how Colorado schools are funded. “This is one of the most important ballot measures we’ve had in a long time,” said Schafer, who also told the audience that passage of Amendment 66 is vital because Colorado public schools have lost “about $1 billion in funding over the last four years.” Amendment 66 would fund the changes to the School Finance Act that were put in place through Senate Bill 213 earlier this year. The measure would create full-day kindergarten for all Colorado students and free preschool for at-risk students. It also would provide more resources for English language learners, as well as for students who are in “gifted and talented” programs. The measure would pump more money into public schools, while creating a more equitable system by which school districts are funded, supporters say. Stevenson said Jeffco schools would get at least $71 million in new funding, if Amendment 66 passes. That would enable the district to return to 2010 funding levels, she said. Stevenson said that Jeffco voters should

Photo by Vic Vela not view last year’s passage of a mill levy increase as having solved the district’s budget issues. The revenue raised by initiatives 3A and 3B allowed the district to prevent significant budget cuts, but its funding still falls about $50 million short of levels from a few years ago, she said. Stevenson also said that Colorado’s tax burden would remain in the bottom half among other states in the country, even if the measure passes. And the superintendent said that it’s important for Jeffco teachers to get pay raises, something that hasn’t happened in five years. “I really feel like we have a priority as a community to say that our teacher salaries are important because we want them in our community,” Stevenson said.
A permanent tax increase
Senate Bill 213 was one of the most con-
tentious bills debated during this year’s legislative session, and it’s one that failed to garner a single Republican vote in the Democrat-controlled General Assembly. The bill was later signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper. Opponents say that the Amendment 66 funding measure is a nearly-$1 billion tax hike that seeks to throw money at schools, but does not put in place any true school reforms. If passed, Amendment 66 would result in a permanent income tax increase, without a sunset provision. Stevenson acknowledges that Jeffco taxpayers will pay about $114-124 million in taxes, but only between 52 and 83 percent of those dollars will actually find their way to Jeffco schools, she said.

Two vie for District 2 school board seats Race offers policy choice to voters By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com An open seat on the Jefferson County school board has drawn two candidates who each want what’s best for area students, but who differ on major policy issues. This fall, Jeff Lamontagne of Lakewood and John Newkirk of Conifer will square off in a District 2 Board of Education race. The two are seeking to fill the seat being vacated by current District 2 board director Laura Boggs, who is not running for reelection. Jeffco’s school District 2 includes the candidates’ places of residence, as well as Evergreen and parts of Golden. Both candidates have spent the last several years working on issues that affect young people. Lamontagne co-founded the Second Wind Foundation, an organization that provides counseling services for children who are at-risk for suicide. The foundation was started in 2002, after four Green Mountain High School students took their own lives just weeks apart. Lamontagne — who is an executive director for the Bluff Lake Nature Center, a wildlife and science center in Denver — has also served on the board for the Jefferson Foundation, a nonprofit that secures financial support for the district. And he’s currently a member of Jeffco’s
Strategic, Planning and Advisory Council. Lamontagne’s wife is a Jeffco teacher, and he has two children who attend Jeffco schools. “It’s really safe to say that my family life, my work life and my volunteer life is about Jeffco schools,” Lamontagne said. “I’m running because I feel it’s the best way I can serve my community.” Newkirk is a product of the Jeffco school system, having grown up here and gradua t ed from Evergreen High School. Through his membership with the Conifer K i w a n is Club, Newkirk works with third-grade children to better their reading skills. He’s also done faith-based volunteer work, as a youth facilitator. Newkirk, who has worked in the medical technology field for most of his adult life, has three children of his own, who also attend Jeffco schools. “The board should reflect the diversity of the county,” Newkirk said. “I went to Jeffco schools, and Jeffco would be wellserved by me being on the board of education.”
Differences in areas of policy
The two candidates differ in key areas of education policy — one of them being the school district’s expected piloting of a
controversial student database backed by the Georgia-based nonprofit, inBloom. Proponents of the system say inBloom will allow teachers to better personalize instruction through an all-in-one database. But opponents fear for students’ privacy and security, due to the extent of information the dashboard is capable of storing. Newkirk is skeptical of the system. “I’m not against an idea of a dashboard in the classroom,” he said. “But I’m very nervous about gathering data and putting it on a national database, where we can’t know where the information is going.” Lamontagne said it’s important to listen to teachers who are supportive of inBloom, but also said that questions need to be answered before he is able to fully support its implementation, specifically those having to do with what kinds of student data is being gathered. “If we have teachers saying this will be a helpful tool, we need to ensure they have that tool,” he said. “That being said, there are a whole host of issues. I would not sign off on the contract unless a number of guarantees were met.” The two also have different opinions of Amendment 66 — the November ballot question that seeks $950 million in new taxes that will fund an overhaul of the state’s school finance system. The money will implement recent state legislation that creates full-day kindergarten, provides more resources for at-risk students and English language learners, and creates a new school-funding formula. Newkirk believes that Jeffco taxpayers
will be paying more into the school finance system than other counties, while getting less in return. He also fears that students and teachers here may end up moving to neighboring counties that might get more funding than Jeffco. “I fully support full funding of a school system, but this is a bad idea,” Newkirk said. Lamontagne said he will vote for Amendment 66, because he feels the state as a whole will benefit from the new funding formula. However, he “has some concerns as a Jeffco parent and board member (candidate).” “I am a little unclear on the extent of benefits that will come to Jeffco schools, relative to other school districts,” he said. “There are some variables to be settled there.” Both candidates recognize that the board will be dealing with new student standard mandates, either at the state or federal level, as well as new processes by which teachers are evaluated, and district budgetary issues. Each candidate believes he is the best man in the race to deal with those issues, head-on. “I consider myself balanced and constructive,” Lamontagne said. “I get things done.” Newkirk believes his temperament will be a positive addition to the board. “I have an ability to get along with a wide variety of people,” he said. “If we don’t see eye to eye, at end of the day, we’re all there to make the school district as great as it can be.”

The worst may be over as the state dries out and warms up. But while the calming weather brings relief to the state, many Colorado residents — including those in Coal Creek Canyon — face the aftermath of a devastating rainfall that severed homes from driveways and left Highway 72’s asphalt looking like an incomplete jigsaw puzzle. Jeffco Sheriff’s Office posted flood updates Sept. 17 on its Facebook page, assessing county damage at about $6 million. Approximate structural damages include 14 residences destroyed, 215 damaged and 5,805 threatened. Around 27 commercial properties have been damaged, with 24 threatened. Numbers are higher for minor structural damage. The Colorado Department of Transportation was in the canyon, northwest of Golden, on Sept. 17, fixing a culvert break which caused severe flooding on one area of Highway 72 making the road impassable. Efforts continue to relocate residents from Coal Creek Canyon, especially after exposed gas lines were discovered. Most residents have been without running water and electricity for days. So far, rescue teams
B
have saved three families from Coal Creek. “I think we’ll see more and more of that in the days to come,” Mark Techmeyer, public information officer for the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office said, adding that some families have chosen to stay behind. Highway 72 remains closed from Blue Mountain Drive to Pinecliffe. CDOT crews have begun to clear debris, as CDOT officials have selected the response teams to help construct roads for Highway 72. They estimate work to be completed by Dec. 1. Gas has been shut off in the canyon, and Xcel Energy does not have a timeline for restoration work on the lines, Gabriel Romero, spokesman for Xcel Energy said. Assessment began last week, but repairs may not start for several weeks. Several parks and trails throughout Jeffco Open Space were affected by floods, closing Apex Park and Lair o’ the Bear Park. The east trailhead at White Ranch Park is closed, as well as Sourdough Campground and portions of Rawhide, Belcher Hill, Longhorn and Mustang trails. Multiple trails are also closed at North Table Mountain Park. Jeffco Open Space will determine the best strategy to repair the parks and trails with restoration extending into spring 2014.

Field trip teaches youngsters about engineering By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ourcoloradonews.com Hoping to educate students on future career paths, leaders at MWH Global in Broomfield spent the morning of Sept. 6 with over 50 third-graders from STEM Magnet Lab School teaching them about opportunities available in the engineering field. MWH Global specializes in water and wastewater treatment, environmental engineering, sustainable construction and construction management. This is the second time, MWH engineers teamed up with students to teach them about the world of engineering through a career session and engineering-based activities. Meg VanderLaan, vice president of communications for MWH, said MWH Global recognizes the importance of instilling enthusiasm into the next generation of engineers and a great way to do that is with field trips to MWH. She said according to the National Academy of Engineering, most people don’t know what engineers do and don’t realize that engineering is at the heart of so many things in life, like entertainment, transportation and much more. “We want kids to see engineering as a vi-
able opportunity for their future,” VanderLaan said. “And these types of events allows us to give those kids a glimpse into the engineering world, which is important to us.” Before the field trip to MWH Global, students at Northglenn-based STEM Magnet Lab School have been focused on careers. Third grade teacher Jamie Olson said part of the curriculum is the introduction to the book Someday, about a little girl who finds new things to do in her life. The students use the book as a resource in learning about how and what it takes to reach a career, she added. “By coming to MWH, students learned that if they want to someday be an engineer one way of reaching that goal is to visit an engineering company and learn what people do here,” Olson said. “This field trip jump starts their paragraph writing about careers is a great example of an engineering career.” Whether or not the students left with the drive to become an engineer, VanderLaan said she hopes students did leave with the feeling that one day they can make a difference in the world. “We are just trying to help foster those ideas in children that, yes they can make a better world,” she said.

For almost three years, Tanya and Jim Heberlein, owners of Little Britches LLC in Westminster, have been helping families meet the demanding needs of growing children. The couple’s resale store not only helps parents buy affordable clothing and accessories for their little ones, but also puts cash back in the pockets of their customers. The Heberleins buy gently used children’s clothing, toys, books, equipment and maternity clothes for cash or store credit from customers and then resells the items at a discounted price. “With resale, you can still have nice things for your kids without paying $60 for a pair of jeans,” Tanya said. “I have many families who cloth their kids entirely through the store. The clothes are from the same stores, but with the savings people are able to use that money for a vacation or for their children’s’ college education.” The Heberleins’ dedication to their customers has not gone unnoticed. Just recently Little Britches was voted best children’s clothing on the Denver A-List beating out Kid to Kid in Aurora and Once Upon A Child in Littleton. Tanya said the business has been in the top three the past two years, but taking the top spot was something she was really excited and happy about. All

those long days, she says, more than pays off knowing that customers enjoy her store enough to vote for her business. “It’s just amazing because new people who voted were commenting online on Little Britches and as I was reading the comments the tears were just flowing,” she said. “My customers are awesome. I’m luckiest girl in the world.” The service to their customers doesn’t stop with affordable prices, the couple is active in their community providing a discount to all teachers, donating regularly to nonprofit organization A Precious Child and sponsoring various events and teams at local schools. Most recently they donated diapers, wipes and water to victims of the Colorado floods in Greeley and gave people who dropped off donations an extra 25 percent off in the store. Tanya said community involvement is a priority and something she hopes to pass along to her children. “My grandfather worked from nothing and ended having several clothing stores, one which still stands even though he passed away many years ago,” she said. “Winning is for him and for my family who taught me to work hard and to always help people.” Little Britches LLC at 11187 Sheridan Ave. in Westminster, is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

opinions / yours and ours
Time for a new turn of phrase The Jeffco Schools school board line-up will be decidedly different following the results of the next election. As we reported earlier this month, two of the board’s incumbents — Paula Noonan and Laura Boggs — have chosen not to run. And a third incumbent Robin Johnson will not be running due to relocation outside the district. So board members Lesley Dahlkemper and Jill Fellman — each who are in the middle of first-terms — will be joined by three newcomers. Glad to say Dahlkemper and Fellman exhibit the type of solid leadership needed for this sea change, and the district itself stands sound. Jeffco is the largest school district in the state; it tallies test scores higher than state average and has an impressive number of option and charter schools in its boundaries — providing plenty of options for its
our view district’s students. Further, voters gave the district a vote of confidence approving a bond issue and mill-levy override in 2012. Unfortunately some board interactions haven’t exceeded any standards in our gradebook, and have in fact been at times distracting and disappointing. Who can forget that board member Laura Boggs was censured twice? The gravity of the words she spoke to put herself into hot water can be debated interminably, but the incidents were considered disruptive enough for the board to slap her hands, and agreement in the
question of the week
Do you back federal flood help? We asked people attending the Celtic Festival in Edgewater last weekend: With storm and flood damage across Colorado estimated at more than $2 billion, should the federal government help cover the bill? To what extent?
“Absolutely, as much as we possibly can.” Pat McKenna Lakewood
“Yes, comparable to other disasters in other states.” Betty Jo Page, Wheat Ridge
community resonated. And Noonan took heat for a rambling graduation speech at Dakota Ridge High School in 2010. To her credit, she acknowledged her extemporaneous skills were not the best that day. In sum, the tone of the board has at times been too chippy, in spite of board chair’s efforts. We were tempted to let these instances fade from memory, but we were stirred by comments from Boggs and Noonan in a story we published this month that indicated they did not feel their views have been as validated as they should be as board members. We disagree with them. Instead, we simply say their views were heard, and we value the comments they made — often raising concerns that were researched by Jeffco staff. With a new day just around the corner, here’s our pitch for the candidate-elects-
A September song Ah! September! My favorite month of the year followed by October, a close second. Soon it will be time to head to the pumpkin patch at Rock Creek Farms near Broomfield and survey fields of the beautiful orange pumpkins. At least I hope that they weren’t ruined in the muddy fields. What a shame that would be to see a year’s worth of growing destroyed by the very commodity that gave them life.

The refrain goes like this, “Oh, it’s a long, long while from May to December, but the days grow short when you reach September. When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame, one hasn’t got time for the waiting game. Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few, September, November. And these few precious days I’ll spend with you, these precious days I’ll spend with you!”
The Rest of the Story
And now I learn on the 50th anniversary of former president John F. Kennedy’s death that it was also his favorite song, and he sang it solo frequently at family gatherings. There’s a new book out called, “These

Few Precious Days: The Final Year of Jack with Jackie.” It’s written by Christopher Anderson and it is a portrayal of that famous family during his brief tenure as president. I’ve read a lot of JFK books but I do believe this is the best one yet. And now that I learn “September Song” was a JFK favorite it takes on a deeper meaning for me.
All of September
Yes, September takes on a whole new meaning – one where we treasure the dwindling days of summer and the giving way to the leaves turning to flame, crispy meanings and gorgeous fall sunsets. It’s just a beautiful time of year, isn’t it? Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned.

Seize the day, or it may seize you e
If you listen really closely, you might hear something. Shhh ... yeah, there it is. “WHEW” That, my friends, is the sound of Ryan Cleady’s agent. For those of you who don’t ten listen to sports talk regularly, you may not ng carehave heard that Cleady, the Denver Broncos All-Pro left tackle, is out for the season n- after suffering a Lisfranc injury, a someand what bizarre kind of foot injury. And the reason for his agent’s big sigh oa of relief is that Cleady agreed to terms a em- about two months ago on a five-year deal with the Broncos that guarantees him $33 million. e Cleady had the option of playing out can e of this year under a one-year, roughly $10 ady million contract, and then testing the free agent market next year. If he’d had another e great season, he might have made even e in- more money than he will with the Broncos; king on the flip side, a bad year (say, one ended early by injury) might have resulted in a big pay cut, and there’s actually some chance that he won’t return to great form from this
injury. In other words, Cleady took a gamble that the wonderful option on the table in front of him was better than the possibilities in the future. “WHEW” Sort of the exact same sound anybody along the front range who bought flood insurance three weeks ago is making today. Not to be confused with the sound the non-insured people make when they find out that the funds released to Colorado by the feds will not be available to individual homeowners. But that’s a story for another day.
D12 seeks volunteers for finance committees During the Sept. 18 Adams 12 Five Star Schools board meeting, the school board discussed a potential finance committee as an additional resource to the district. Behind the effort was board director Norm Jennings who presented information and suggestions to the board. After looking at other school districts and doing some research, Jennings said he came up with the idea to have one overall committee made up of two subcommittees. No members of staff or the board would be part of the committees to ensure there is not influence from staff or the board, Jennings added. “District residency is a plus, but not required,” he said. “We are just looking for people to meet experience and credential standards.” The full committee would have a variety of task including reviewing and commenting on mill and bond requests, providing recommendations on major investments and budget priorities and providing feedback on financial and strategic impacts of potential legislation. The audit and financial oversight subcommittee would be a minimum of five members and would focus on independent reviews of charter school finances, make recommendations on budget models, process and control improvements and review the internal auditor’s work. “This committee would have at least three people who are from non-school district entities,” Jennings said. “We need to have input from multiple sources so we have a good chance of coming up
with good stuff.” The second sub-committee would be the strategy and investment advisory committee, also made up of five people with at least four from the private business sector. Members’ focus would include the independent review of reserve fund investments, provide recommendations for improved efficiency and improved innovative educational opportunities as well as make recommendations on new initiatives such as purchasing a digital platform for education modules. “We want to add new people to look at our system from a different realm and make sure what we are doing will pay off for us,” Jennings said. “Do we want greater graduation rates or better CSAP scores? We are trying to find people to help us justify some different things.” During the meeting, the board decided to have Jennings continue his work by now heading out into the community to find people willing and able to sit on the committees. Board president Mark Clark said he believes there are community leaders out there who would volunteer, depending on how much time is needed for the position. “We need to get out and reach out to people because we want their opinion,” he said. “We need to find out what this community wants or thinks.” At this point the board is not voting on any kind of committee, just beginning the process of finding out the interest people in the community may or may not have in the committee. For more information or for those interested in serving on a committee, contact the board office at 720-972-4007.

I don’t mean to, in any way, conflate the tragedies that families are dealing with all up and down the front range with the injury suffered by a football player. But it’s odd that there’s a common lesson to be drawn from these events. How many basement remodels were on hold, waiting for “just the right time” to get started when the flood waters blew through? How many back yard re-soddings and front yard xeriscapings were in the planning stages when Boulder Creek turned yards into wading pools? How many block parties were in the “we should do that” phase when the Big Thompson obliterated any sign of blocks or streets? We silly humans have this crazy idea that we have a lot of time to accomplish things, both trivial and meaningful. We have this conceit that we have control over the events of our lives and the course of human history. We are wrong. Every once in a while, this big world we live in rears up to remind us how puny we
are in comparison to the forces at work around us. And, while I’m generally a fan of nature, sometimes these reminders are painful, even tragic. And, frankly, they’re becoming a bit too common of an occurrence for my comfort. But they also provide us with useful lessons. Instead of a block party, I heard stories of “shovel brigades”—small groups walking neighborhoods with shovels in hand offering to dig trenches and help their neighbors. Instead of remodeling, we heard stories of National Guard pilots flying around in the mountains at night using night-vision goggles to rescue civilians. And instead of “just the right time,” maybe we’ll all now be a little more cognizant of today. Carpe Diem, friends—you don’t know what tomorrow holds.

Jeffco to allow dashboard opt out Program adds option for parents By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com After an outcry from parents, Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson announced last week that the district will allow students to opt out of a classroom data system that the district is expected to pilot next year. The move by Stevenson is a nod to criticism from parents who have called on the district to allow them to choose whether they allow their children’s data to be used in a soon-to-be-created “virtual data dashboard” — which would be capable of holding students’ personal information and academic records. Stevenson informed parents of the optout decision in a recent district newsletter. “We have listened carefully to the concerns of some of our parents who believe the dashboard is not the right choice for their child,” Stevenson wrote in the district’s “Chalk Talk” newsletter. “Because we’re committed to creating a win-win situation for all of our students and their families, as well as our teachers, we are working to create an opt-out provision for all parents who feel the tools we are devel-
oping don’t meet their family’s needs.” The classroom dashboard is being touted by supporters as a way for teachers to better personalize instruction through a “one-stop shopping” database. But opponents fear that the system could compromise student privacy and security. And they have been especially critical of the role of the company that will be storing student data for the district — the Georgia-based nonprofit inBloom. inBloom is a $100 million entity that is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation that provides data gathering technology to classroom dashboards Right now, only three states are either currently partnering with inBloom or will be doing so in the near future: New York, Illinois and Colorado. However, other states have backed away from plans to implement inBloom-backed dashboards, after hearing protests from community members. Jefferson County, the state’s largest school district, is the only district in Colorado that is scheduled to pilot the system, which is expected to happen next year. The district will not be charged for the system until 2015, when it will cost the district $2$5 a student for continued operation. The technology is capable of holding thousands of data points on students, including academic information like reading and math scores. But it can also hold per-
sonal data, such as a student’s health information or disciplinary records. The district insists that the dashboard — which will be provided by a separate software company called LoudCloud — will only collect pertinent academic information that is already being gathered through multiple existing databases, such as grades, enrollment information and student demographics. But those assurances have done little to settle concerns on the parts of parents and other inBloom detractors who remain highly skeptical of its implementation. Stevenson had said in previous interviews that allowing parents to opt out of the dashboard would compromise its data. But she told Colorado Community Media after the decision last week that she is not concerned about droves of parents opting out, because she believes most of them will see the value in the dashboard, as they continue to learn more about its benefits. “We’re going to make sure that people have all the information they need before making decision,” she said. “We’re really trying to make a win-win.” Stevenson said the district “is not going to create two systems” for students who are a part of the dashboard and for those who decide to opt-out. Instead, parents who decide to pull their children out of the database “will have the same services as we have today,” through existing, multiple da-
Judge denies request to change venue in Sigg case By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ourcoloradonews.com The venue of the upcoming Austin Sigg trial has been confirmed to stay in Jefferson County. The decision came Sept. 23 during a motions hearing when District Court Chief Judge Stephen Munsinger ruled to deny the defense team’s request to change the venue. The defense claimed that Sigg would not have a fair and impartial jury due to the massive amount of media attention the case has received. With the jury selection process in full swing, the defense team said after reading the initial jury questionnaires, some responses were problematic because of the people’s investment in the case. “The community was invested in the
disappearance of Jessica Ridgeway. People were dedicated to the memorial of Jessica Ridgeway,” said defense attorney Katherine Spengler. “That’s why this community is not the appropriate community to have the trial.” But Munsinger disagreed. He said out of the 716 potential jurors, there should be no problem getting 44 people to serve on the jury and the panel. He said after reading the questionnaires he was actually surprised that many people said the extent of knowledge they had of the case did not surpass the description of the case on the questionnaires. “I believe there is no showing that there won’t be a fair trial,” Munsinger said. “I’m pleased to say that we could have a fair trial.”
During the hearing, the defense team also requested the absence of purple clothing to be worn by the prosecution team, court staff and law enforcement. Munsinger agreed with the request and said obvious or intentional displays of the color purple, which was Ridgeway’s favorite color, worn by staff, law enforcement and the prosecution, would not be allowed. This restriction does include the Ridgeway or Sigg family. Opening statements are set to begin Oct. 3. If convicted, he faces life in prison with a possibility of parole after 40 years. He faces 17 charges, including murder and sexual assault. He is charged with abducting and murdering 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway last October.

tabases. But that doesn’t make any sense, said District 2 board director Laura Boggs, who has long-been a critic of inBloom’s involvement in Jeffco’s dashboard. She said one of the main selling points of the inBloombacked dashboard is that teachers will be able to condense data into one system. “Now, you’re a teacher in an opt-out environment,” Boggs said. “And you can have 25 students in the system and five are not. So do you still have to go to seven other district systems? ‘I don’t understand it. I think it’s great that the district is leaning toward listening to parents, but the practicality of the (optout) offer doesn’t allow the advantages of the system.” Boggs now wonders if the dashboard is “worth the investment.” “The challenging conversation for community will be, should we continue down LoudCloud and inBloom path?” Boggs said. But Board president Lesley Dahlkemper, who supports the opt-out decision, wonders if it’s premature to be having that type of conservation. She reminded board members at a Sept. 19 meeting that this is a “pilot project” and that there will be plenty of time to have these discussions before the system is ever implemented. “What we tend to do is get ahead of ourselves rather than unpacking this and having more conversation,” she said.

Nosh, network with the ‘Divas’ Douglas County Divas holds a co-ed event on Oct. 15
I’m all about supporting women’s groups, and this Douglas County Divas networking organization sounds like a hoot. Plus, I love everything “Diva,” from “Double Divas” to “Drop Dead Diva.” The Douglas County Divas normally meet the third Tuesday of every month, giving women a chance to network and increase business contacts. But on Oct. 15, the group will be holding a special co-ed event 6-8 p.m. at The Fowl Line at 774 Maleta Lane in Castle Rock. Attendees are asked to bring “plenty of business cards.” For more information, contact Pam Anderson at 303-596-8075 or pamsgonegreen@gmail.com or Theresa Buckley at 720-280-2910 or theresa.girlsgonegreen@ gmail.com. For more details about the group, visit www.douglascountydivas.com.

Miners Alley brings back local favorite By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com
M
iners Alley Playhouse’s newest production is a local favorite, and a seminal play that was created, written and workshopped specifically for the theater. Based on actual experiences, this story takes the audiences back to the 1940s, puts them in the psychiatrist’s chair along with a young girl who is dealing with schizophrenia. “I Never Promised You A Rose Garden,” written by Walter Newton, based on Joanne Greenberg’s semi-autobiographical novel, will play at the theater, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, until Oct. 27. Show times are 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 6 p.m. on Sundays. “Greenberg lives in Evergreen and is a friend of the theater, and we worked with her and Newton on creating this play especially for our theater from 2002 through 2003, and it was finally produced in 2004,” said director Rick Bernstein. “‘Rose Garden’ was a huge experience for us, and it’s great to revisit.” The story follows Debra Klein (Ellie Schwartz) and Dr. Fried (Lori Hansen) as they
work to try to help Debra defeat the demons she is battling. Debra created the Kingdom of Yr as a form of self-defense from her reality. In childhood, she suffered frequent abuse from her antiSemitic peers while at the same time being sheltered by her over-protected family. At first Yr was a safe-haven for her, but eventually the gods of Yr became tyrannical dictators who ruled Debra’s every word and action. At the age of 16, Debra was committed to a psychiatric hospital diagnosed with schizophrenia. Dr. Fried is a revolutionary doctor, according to Bernstein, because instead of treating schizophrenia with electroshock, surgery or drugs, she approaches her patients with psychotherapy. This was an extremely controversial choice at the time. Dr. Fried is based on Greenberg’s real psychiatrist, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, who helped her deal with her issues, Bernstein said. “We decided that instead of the way we did the first production — which was a bit sensationalist, and very dramatic — and focused on Rose continues on Page 16

Courtney sent this email missive about her project: Dear Friends, “As many of you know, I have spent the past couple of years working on `Jewtopia.’ First the play at the Greenway Court Theater, and then, the movie! I am very excited to announce that the movie will be out (today) in theaters around the country as well as on VOD on most cable carriers as well as on iTunes, XBox and a number of other online platforms. “Needless to say I am very excited about this release and I would greatly appreciate your support!” The film’s cast includes Ivan Sergei, Joel David Moore, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jamie Lynn Sigler, Rita Wilson and Jon Lovitz.

Debra’s side of things, we would try to focus on Dr. Fried’s side,” Bernstein said. “We wanted the play to have more human form and be more movement driven.” Schwartz, who is only 17-yearsold, took on the challenging task of bringing Debra to life, and Bernstein said she does a fantastic job. “I really had no idea going in what it was going to be like,” Schwartz said. “There are a lot of common misconceptions about mental health that I

Tigers struggle against defending champs Holy Family drops to 2-1 after loss against Silver Creek By Kate Ferraro
kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com In Holy Family’s first two games of the season, the team beat the opponents 4216 and 42-7. This week, it was the other way around. The Holy Family football team lost to the 3A defending champions Silver Creek 45-14 in front of a large crowd on the Tigers’ homecoming night Sept. 20 at Mike G. Gabriel Stadium. Silver Creek came out strong blocking a Tigers’ punt in the first few minutes of the game and forced a safety, giving them the 2-0 lead. The Raptors didn’t look back after that. “It was up there as one of the most disappointing losses we’ve had,” head coach Mike Gabriel said. “I feel bad for our kids, because they really looked forward to this game. I feel bad that it went the way it did.” The Raptors scored three touchdowns in the first quarter. Wide receiver Zane Lindsey ran for 113 yards just in the first quarter alone, helping Silver Creek to a 24-0 lead going into the second quarter. Running back Anthony Kasper also scored in the first. Kasper scored once again at the start of the second quarter, catching a pass from quarterback Ben Sjobakken. “He’s a kid that we didn’t really focus on in the film,” Gabriel said of Lindsey. “The things he was able to do surprised us, but their whole team is a good football team.”
With three minutes left in the half, Tigers fullback Zach Trombley caught an interception. Holy Family pushed the ball down field in a series that would result in a field goal on the 31-yard line with 19.2 seconds left. However, the field goal was blocked by Silver Creek. The Raptors linebacker Austin Hartman ran the ball 69 yards for a touchdown. Holy Family remained scoreless at halftime while Silver Creek earned 38 points in two quarters. After the half, Kasper scored once more for the Raptors on an 80-yard run, giving Silver Creek the 45-0 lead at the end of the third. The Tigers finally put some points on the board in the middle of the fourth quarter. Quarterback David Sommers ran in the ball in himself. The point-aftertouchdown was no good. With only a few minutes left in the game, Holy Family took over the ball on downs. Wide receiver Weston Dinsmore caught a pass in the endzone, making the score 45-10. The Tigers attempted a twopoint conversion and were successful. But it wasn’t enough. The Tigers suffered their first loss of the 2013 season. Holy Family is now 2-1 on the season. Gabriel said the team needs to concentrate on its next game against Berthoud Sept. 27. They will be facing the Spartans on its homecoming night. “We’re going to go back to the drawing board and start working again on Monday and focus now on the next week,” Gabriel said.

Standley Lake gymnastics pull out win Gators win by 1.875 at home meet By Kate Ferraro
kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com Despite having a small team that needs improvement, the Standley Lake gymnastics team still pulled out a victory Sept. 18 in a meet against Columbine and Evergreen at Standley Lake High School. The Gators scored a 168.875 overall with Evergreen coming in right behind them scoring 167.000. Columbine came in third place with a score of 136.750. Standley Lake’s points were the highest score they’ve produced this season thus far. “There’s still tons of improvement and the girls know that,” head coach Kristen Larington said. “I think it’s slowly but surely coming up there, but when you don’t have the numbers, it’s just a lot of pressure on six girls to hit it every single time. The Gators started off on the vault really well with four girls placing in the top six. Senior Jordan Ireland scored a 9.350 for a second place finish, guiding her team to 43.200 total points for the vault. The balance beam was a struggle for the Gators since there were at least three girls who fell off the beam. The team scored
fourth, fifth and sixth in the event. Standley Lake performed better as the night went on, but still fell in events they shouldn’t have been falling in. “There are still girls falling in events,” Larington said. “We’re used to falling in beam, but when you’re falling on bars and floor, there’s something that’s not right there. We had a lot of that today.” The Gators placed first overall in the uneven bars and second on the floor routine overall. Ireland won fourth place on the balance beam and second on the uneven bars. She won first place in the floor routine with a 9.200 score. Larington said Ireland is improving every meet, but still has a lot of growth. She said Ireland is working on big skills, but won’t implement them in a meet until she’s confident. “I’m really proud of my performance tonight,” Ireland said. “Just landing all my skills, I felt better about it.” The Gators will travel to Pomona High School Sept. 26 to compete in meet against Pomona and Chatfield. Larington said the team needs to stay healthy since they have a little team and can’t afford to lose anybody. “The problem with a small team is you don’t have back up,” Larington said. “You have no one to hang on, when you have an injury, that’s all we have.”
