Overcrowding prompts bond ask D27J student enrollment increases as does its space needs By Tammy Kranz [email protected]

Going to a full-year calendar and an ex-tended daily schedule (6:20 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) because of overcrowding is not a scare tactic, said District 27J Superintendent Chris Fiedler.

It’s a reality unless voters approve a $148 million bond issue in November.

“None of these contingency ideas are our best scenarios,” Fiedler said. “We don’t think it’s best for our kids. There is no foreseeable end to this district’s enrollment growth. We may surpass 17,000 students during the 2014-15 school year and we will be a district of more than 20,000 students in the near future.”

By 2030, the district is predicted to double in size to 32,000 students, he added.

The district covers portions of Adams, Broomfi eld and Weld counties. Of the cur-rent population, 2,055 students are from the Thornton area, and by 2018 that area will bring about 3,118 students to D27J, an in-crease of 1,063, according to Joy Gerdom, the district’s planning manager.

The cost to homeowners if the $148 mil-lion bond passes is about $3.45 per month per $100,000 of home value, according to Suzi DeYoung, chief fi nancial offi cer. The average home value in the district is about $217,000, so most homeowners would see an increase

of $7 per month.The proposed $148 million bond would

fund a new high school (the third in the dis-trict), two new elementary schools, complete the build-out of Brantner Elementary, expand Overland Trail Middle School and renovate Vikan Middle School. Money would also be available to fi nish learning space inside the district charter school Eagle Ridge Academy.

There will also be funds to update, repair and improve other schools to increase safety features and technology needs.

The new high school location will be at

136th Avenue and Yosemite Street in Thorn-ton and would alleviate overcrowding at Prai-rie View and Brighton High Schools.

“The district has done a great job maxi-mizing the space and resources we have, but to accommodate now and for the future, we need the bond issue to pass,” said Patrick Day, president of the District 27J Board of Educa-tion. “We’re in desperate need for seats. We’re at a point now where the bond issue is the so-lution for the future.”

To alleviate the overcrowded classrooms, the district has set up modular buildings, im-

plemented a shift schedule and closed open enrollment to out-of-district students at four schools for the 2014-2015 school year.

The overcrowding is at a level now that even if the bond issue passes, the district will still have to implement an extended, split schedule temporarily for some classes while the new schools are built, Fiedler said.

The modular building at Brantner will be removed by January 2015, if the bond passes, to make room for the new construction.

The last successful bond the district passed was in 2006.

District 27J is asking voters to approve a $148 million bond to construct new schools and renovate and expand existing schools – including completing construction at Brantner, which is only partially � nished.

Museum event o� ers a look at the past By Ashley Reimers areimers@colorado communitymedia.com

For over 15 years, the Adams County His-torical Museum has hosted Family Heritage Day, an opportunity for the community to step back in time and learn about the coun-ty’s history.

This year’s event will be 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 13, at the museum, 9601 Hen-derson Road in Brighton and will feature a variety of activities, including a classic car show. From live music to historical storytell-ing, Family Heritage Day will offer something for everyone.

“The event is an opportunity to come and experience great music and the history of Ad-ams County and Colorado,” said Dixie Pierce, museum administrator. “People get to see what life was like and how things were done

During Family Heritage Day on Sept. 13 at the Adams County Historical Museum in Brighton, people can enjoy tours of Ho� man Hall, which is � lled with historical artifacts like buggies and tractors and also take a tour of an old blacksmith shop.

Fate of � rst City Hall still unresolved Council still debating fate of one of Brighton’s oldest buildings By Lou Ellen Bromley [email protected]

The historic building at 575 Bush St. — at one time was Brighton’s first city hall, later the Brighton Public Library and last served as the Brighton Senior Center — was the center of discussion at Tuesday night’s city council study session.

City manager Manuel Esquibel ask city council to allow him and his staff time to look into the possibility of finding a private source to take over, or partner with the city, in the redevelopment of the building as requested by council. Esquibel also brought up the pos-sibly of Brighton leasing or selling the histor-

Keep green at this year’s Eco-fairBy Michelle [email protected]

The Eco-Fair is greener this year.This year it’s gone from the parking lot

of the Armory, to the verdant turf of Car-michael Park, 650 Southern St., which is directly behind City Hall.

This year’s recycle event will be 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20.

“Though the Armory and Anythink Li-brary, as well as the surrounding neigh-borhood and businesses, have been great to us throughout the years, with the com-pletion of Carmichael Park, we feel this is a more centrally located earth friendly environment — taking it off the asphalt and onto the grass,” special events co-ordinator David Gallegos said. “This site also offers more parking and easier ac-

cess for the recycling activities. The new setting allows families to bring a picnic lunch, enjoy the free facepainting, bal-loons, dance stage, bounce house, Fris-bee tossing and general fun.”

Gallegos said the city invites families to come and recycle, learn about the state of the environment.

More than 30 booths related to energy conservation, alternative energy and en-vironmental resources will be in atten-dance.

“There will also be food, activities for the kids and entertainment through-out the day,” he said. “The best part of the event, it’s free and open to the pub-lic, with the special thanks to Eco-Fair’s sponsor the City of Brighton, the Brigh-ton Cultural Arts Commission, the Ad-ams County Cultural Council and the Sci-

entific and Cultural Facilities District.”John Anderson, known as the “Worm

Man,” will return and is skilled in the Art of Vermicomposting, which creates com-post with worms.

“Vermicomposting is a rich soil amendment for area gardens,” Gallegos said. “John has given and attended vari-ous local, national and international training courses and events. I do this is to keep material out of the landfill. Waste is not waste, until you take the action wast-ing it.”

The Sunrise Silhouettes Alpaca Pet-ting Zoo will return this year as well the birds from the Raptor Association.

Gallegos said this year’s event will al-low people to bring a variety of more re-cyclable items.

Car tires, plastic grocery bags and Christmas lights along with: old com-puters (they’ll be recycled and possibly refurbished for giveaways to schools), Computer Processing Units, laptops, mice and printers.

Batteries (cell/laptop/phone/re-chargeable) and DVD players/VCR/cable boxes/all-in-one/fax machines and printer cartridges can be recycled.

Don’t forget your athletic shoes as they’ll be processed for playground and track surfaces for low income areas.

No cleats will be accepted.Eyeglasses will be donated to the

Brighton Lions Club. Used cell phones will be sent to the

Cell Phones for Soldier program.No CRT monitors or televisions will be

accepted for recycle.A paper shredding truck will be on

site, and each family will be allowed to bring up to three copy boxes or one large trash bag of personal documents and pa-perwork needing to be shred.

No newspapers trash or cans.“The paper shredding has proven to

be a very popular service we provide,” he said.

City of Brighton multimedia techni-cian, Andy Bergey will once again run the EcoStar.

“He’s been doing a great job involving the youth as camera operators and inter-viewers,” Gallegos said. “Under his direc-tion the youth interact with attendees and ask their opinions on environmental issues. The video is then shown at a later date on KBRI channel 8.”

Gallegos would like to thank all the residents of Brighton for their support and attendance throughout the years.

He wants to invite them to come back and enjoy the day with the community this year.

Former council member vies for county seatTransportation, jobs, art on Wilma Rose’s agendaBy Tammy [email protected]

Wilma Rose believes her experience as a city council member and the 17 years she spent as a School District 27J employee makes her a good candidate for county commissioner.

“There are going to be issues that con-front our county, and I feel I can contribute something,” said the Brighton resident. “I can work effectively with many people.”

Rose is the Democratic candidate for the newly created District 5 seat on the Adams County Board of Commissioners. Members on the board will be residents in their dis-

‘�ere will also be food, activities for the kids and entertainment throughout the days.’

Co� man campaign ad targets women Romano� team says rival fudging history By Vic Vela [email protected]

Locked in a tight re-election cam-paign, U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman on Aug. 26 released his first TV ad, targeted at a demographic that will be crucial in deter-mining whether he keeps his seat.

The ad targets women voters by tout-ing Coffman’s congressional record on is-sues like sexual assault reform in the mil-itary and gender discrimination in health insurance pricing.

But Democrats, especially Andrew Ro-manoff, Coffman’s opponent in this fall’s 6th Congressional District race, hope vot-ers see the ad as they do — an effort to “whitewash” a voting record that has fall-en short of championing women’s equal-

ity.The 30-second spot features a female

narrator touting Coffman’s own Marine background while lauding his work on an amendment to a defense budget bill that deals with sexual assaults in the military.

The ad also points out Coffman’s sup-port of Congress’ renewal of the Violence Against Women Act, and his work on leg-islation in the Colorado General Assem-bly to prevent women from having to pay more than men for health insurance.

“When I served in the state Legisla-ture, I worked with members of both parties to ban gender discrimination in health insurance pricing and ensure that women could not be charged more than men,” Coffman said through an emailed statement.

But the Romanoff campaign was quick to attack Coffman’s ad as a “brazen at-tempt” to hide his actual voting record on women’s issues.

The campaign rattled off a laundry

list of Coffman’s positions on women’s issues, including his past support of the so-called “personhood” amendment, which would essentially ban abortions. Coffman said in a recent debate that he does not support personhood.

The Romanoff campaign also attacked Coffman for his votes against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which sought to help women address income inequality. The Romanoff team also slammed Coff-man for his support of a bill that sought to narrow the definition of rape.

“It’s what the congressman is doing in Washington — not just what he’s saying in Colorado — that matters,” said Romanoff spokeswoman Denise Baron, through an emailed statement.

A slight majority of women vote Democratic, and Coffman needs to peel off some of Romanoff’s support among women if he’s going to win re-election.

The battle for CD6 — which was redis-tricted after the 2010 census to include a

more culturally diverse group of voters — will be one of the most closely watched House race in the country.

“In a way it’s flattering,” said Demo-cratic strategist Laura Chapin, when asked for her reaction to Coffman’s ad. “It speaks to the strength of Colorado women voters, and all the candidates are speaking to us this year.

“But I find it interesting that after 20 years of not caring about women, Mike Coffman all of the sudden cares.”

Laura Carno, a conservative political strategist, acknowledges that Republi-cans need to do a better job of reach-ing out to women voters, but said that’s achieved through economic policy stanc-es instead of through “social issues.”

“They look at it very narrowly,” Carno said of Democrats. “As if women wake up every morning thinking, ‘Oh my good-ness, how is the government going to help me get birth control?’”

Former council member vies for county seat Transportation, jobs, art on Wilma Rose’s agenda By Tammy Kranz [email protected]

Wilma Rose believes her experience as a city council member and the 17 years she spent as a School District 27J employee makes her a good candidate for county commissioner.

“There are going to be issues that con-front our county, and I feel I can contribute something,” said the Brighton resident. “I can work effectively with many people.”

Rose is the Democratic candidate for the newly created District 5 seat on the Adams County Board of Commissioners. Members on the board will be residents in their dis-

tricts but are to be elected by the voters of the entire county.

Rose served on Brighton City Council for eight years, and was termed out in Jan-uary. She worked 17 years as an inclusion specialist working with special needs students with District 27J. Retired now, Rose said her job with the school district

required working with lots of different people — teach-

ers and administrators — and that she was able to carry that skill over to her work in an elected offi ce.

“We don’t always have to agree, we just have to come up with a solution,” she said. “You don’t want everybody to think alike. You need diverse views to come up with better ideas.”

After retiring from the school district she worked as an organizer for Colorado

WINS.If elected, one of the things Rose said

she’d like to tackle is developing more skilled labor.

“I’m not saying we don’t have that, but I do occasionally hear businesses say they can’t fi nd enough skilled labor,” she said. “Without that we’re always going to deal with the poverty level and unemployment.”

She said she would like to talk to busi-nesses and vocational and high schools to fi gure out ways to strengthen the county’s labor force. She wants to work to bring in more manufacturing and industrial jobs as well.

She said a near and dear issue to her is arts and culture and that she would like to strengthen their presence throughout Ad-ams County.

“One of our strengths is our diversity,” Rose said. “I think we show that through our arts and culture.”

Other issues Rose said she would like to

focus on is reviving the Adams County Fair Parade and providing affordable transpor-tation within the county.

Rose earned a liberal arts associates de-gree from Ellsworth Community College in Iowa. She and her husband of 48 years, Dave, have three adult children and two grandsons.

Rose has lived in Brighton since 1977 and has served on the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG), Adams County Economic Development, Brighton Parks and Recreation Board. She is still a member of the Brighton Legacy Foundation and an Eye for Art Committee.

Rose said while on council, she gained a reputation of putting the needs of the peo-ple fi rst and studying the issues.

“There are a number of things happen-ing in Adams County, we just need to ex-pand on it,” she said.

Relationships, ”The Diviner’s” way By Michelle Boyer [email protected]

Looking for that small town feeling and just wanting to fit in?

Well “The Diviners,” written by Jim Leonard, Jr. is the production individuals are invited to watch to get that hometown feel and to fit into.

Prairie View High School is preforming “The Diviners” on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. at 12909 120th Ave., Henderson. General admission is $7.

“The Diviners is a beautiful story about relationships and connections,” Prairie View High School Theater Director Jen-nifer Bryner said. “I chose it because it’s a story that has stuck with me.

“The Diviners” is a play about a disil-lusioned preacher named C.C. Showers and a teenage boy named Buddy. Buddy is terrified of water, but also has a gift of divining. Buddy and C.C. become fast friends. C.C. is able to relate to Buddy in ways most people can’t.

PVHS senior Zachary Lepus plays “Buddy Layman,” a 14-year-old brain damaged boy who lost his mother when she saved him from drowning. Ever since the incident, he developed a touch and a feel for water, sadly though he is also ter-rified of the water. Even when it rains he believes he can’t breathe.

“As a person he is very sociable and happy,” Lepus said. “I can be very re-served but people who know me, know I’m always very happy, me and Buddy have a lot in common but obviously we’ve plenty of differences as well.”

Lepus has been acting at Prairie View for about a year. He’s preformed in “Al-most, Maine” (Danny, East), “How to Suc-ceed” (Agent #8), “Grease”, (T-Bird) and

at the Colorado Thespian Conference he double qualified to compete at the Na-tional Thespian Festival. He was also re-cently elected as the Thespian’s publicity representative.

“The Diviners” is directed by Jennifer Bryner and Stage Manager is Teresa Oros-co; Assistant /Sound-Jacob Brown; Back-stage Manager — Payton Young; Back-stage Crew — Pedro Flores and Sydney Johnson Poster; Design —Alaina Lopila-to; Buddy Layman — Zachary Lepus; Jen-

nie Mae Layman-Alaina Lopilato; Ferris Layman-Caden McGlasson; C.C. Showers — Roger Ochoa; Norma Henshaw-Mad-die Benton; Darlene Hendshaw — Ashley Wandschneider; Goldie Short-Chellsey Maestas; Basil Bennett-Kong Vang; Lu-ella Bennett — Shabnam Ruzgani; Melvin Wilder — Noah Jimenez; Dewey Maples — Alexander RhodVin; Water — Pedro Flores and Sydney Johnson.

“This show has to be my favorite so far,” he said. “It’s like coffee for your emo-tions, no matter how dulled your emo-tions are it will wake you up and it might even open your eyes, you will laugh and cry. It’s the kind of thing you’ll find your-self thinking about long after you have seen it. It’s totally worth it.

“The show is worth every penny of the admission. It’ll suck you in. You’ll grow to really care about the characters, and hopefully will help you appreciate what you have in life.”

50 to 100 years ago.”Not only will attendees have the op-

portunity to tour the many historical buildings, like the 1887 Victorian house and replicas of a filling station, black smith shop and school house, but they can also learn about flint knapping and check out old farm equipment.

“Family Heritage Day started because we really wanted to showcase what the museum has to offer,” Pierce said. “We keep adding more activities and events all the time.”

Over time the museum itself has grown too. Pierce said pretty much everything on display was donated by people in the community. Items like old scales, medical equipment and even a historical printing press are just a few of the many items on display in the Hoffman Hall. The hall is divided into sections like a tool section

and home section, which allows people a close look at past items that were used every day.

“With the new electronics and tech-nology, kids have no concept of what got us to this stage,” Pierce said. “The mu-seum is a way for kids to learn about the past. Some kids come to the Victorian house and find out for the first time that their grandparents used an ice box for their refrigerator.”

For 14 years Pierce has been the mu-seum administrator and during those

years, she’s continued to make history relevant to the community. She said she hopes more people experience what the Adams County Historical Museum has to offer during Family Heritage Day.

“There’s so much to learn and discover here,” she said. “There is something dif-ferent out here every day to learn, you just have to be quite and listen.”

Cost for the event is $5 per vehicle and cash is preferred. For more information, visit www.adamscountymuseum.com.

City Halltoric building, thereby allowing the city to no longer be responsible for care of the building.

The city of Brighton is currently keep-ing heat, water and electricity in the building until a decision is made on its future.

Councilman J.W. Edwards stated he would go along with the idea of an out-side party taking over or purchasing the building because he is against commit-ting city funds for the redevelopment of the historic City Hall building, and in fa-vor of other projects.

Several members of city council stated that this building is important to the his-tory of Brighton.

The Brighton Historic Preservation Commission is involved in trying to save the building and get a historic designa-tion for the building.

Councilman Ken Kreutzer said he would like to be able to give them an an-swer as to what city council is going to do in regards to the building so they can move forward.

Mayor pro tem Kirby Wallen stated the city should move forward now with the historic designation of the building, but was told the staff must first decide if the designation should be a public or private historic designation.

A vote was taken by council at the study session by show of hands, to allow

the six month extension of time.Fleets and Streets Director Joe Smith

gave a detailed presentation of the staffs plan for maintenance and construction of streets within Brighton city limits. Smith discussed the most cost effective way to maintain and repair asphalt and concrete streets, explaining that preventive main-tenance and early repair work on existing roads and streets is by far more cost ef-fective than having to replace the entire road surface later.

Also detailed in the report was pro-jected funds needed to maintain, build or repair other traffic control and street related items such as curbs, gutters, side-walks, traffic lights, road signs, lane strip-ping and traffic signals.

Smith included information on Brigh-ton intersections that may warrant traffic

control lights and other improvements to help ensure the safety of residents.

Robert Smith, director of Economic Development for Brighton gave an up-date on the strategic plans for the city to improve economic growth and insure a better quality of life for residents.

The plan includes helping with the de-velopment of small business, increased job opportunities and providing services needed to encourage business to look to Brighton as a good location for their busi-ness operations.

City council conducted interviews to fill positions on the Historic Preserva-tion Commission board, the Parks and Recreation board and two openings on the Brighton Urban Renewal Authority board.

Why does it take a lawsuit to cooperate? You know some things just should not

have to resort to a lawsuit to work out the issues. However, in today’s litigious society, it seems litigation has become the norm way too often. A recent example of such action came from protracted frus-tration by some Adams County cities with Adams County Sheriff Doug Darr’s stance on the municipal prisoner jail cap which resulted in the cities fi ling a lawsuit. The cities were attempting to get the prisoner cap removed as municipal judges found their hands tied on sentencing some guilty offenders to the Adams County Jail. And we are not talking about barking dog offenders or excessive weed growth!

Temporary resolution realizedThis past week Adams County and

the fi ve municipalities which had sued the Adams County Commissioners and Sheriff reached a TEMPORARY resolution to the issue at hand. The cities involved in the litigation are Aurora, Commerce City, Federal Heights, Northglenn and Thorn-ton. Westminster and Brighton chose not to join the litigation. Instead of the arbitrary 30 municipal prisoners being al-lowed at the jail at any given time, a limit of 65 has been agreed upon.

This agreement only lasts to May 15, 2015. What will happen then? Sheriff Darr will be long gone and probably could care less. He is term limited and will be out in early January. The cities will have to pursue a new agreement or pick back up on the lawsuit next year unless the new Sheriff sees things differently than Darr.

While I am pleased to see the TEM-PORARY resolution to the problem, it still begs the question of why can’t such resolutions be reached without litigation? Remember, elected offi cials are supposed to serve the people and the county sheriff has the duty to incarcerate people found guilty in a court of law.

City taxpayers pay twiceAnother provision of the temporary

settlement calls for the cities to pay $45 per day per prisoner over the 65 prisoner cap to Adams County if there is room at the jail and the city wishes to house their prisoner there. This amounts to city taxpayers paying twice when the $45 per day per municipal prisoner comes into play on top of property taxes paid to the county.

As I have written previously, county property tax revenues generated from municipalities heavily outweigh the amount of taxes paid by unincorporated taxpayers. Yet Sheriff Darr imposes a double standard with the municipalities getting the short end of the stick. Why is that?

Ask the candidatesAdams County voters will have a

choice in the November election for a new sheriff. The Democrat running for the position is Rick Reigenborn and the Republican is Michael McIntosh. Also, the County Commissioners have a role in this issue. They approve and appropri-ate the funds for the sheriff to manage the jail. You might want to ask each set of candidates what their respective position is on a jail cap for municipal prisoners. At least those of us who live in incorporated cities have a direct interest in how the new sheriff and Board of County Com-missioners will handle this issue after the temporary agreement would expire.

Serve the interests of all taxpayersLet’s hope once a new sheriff is sworn

next January that a level-headed ap-proach will be realized between the County and the municipalities on this protracted issue. There is additional jail facility space for more prisoners and should be made operational. Darr acknowledges that the Board of County Commissioners provided more funds for jail staffi ng and sentencing has been modifi ed where possible without jail sen-tences. Let’s solve this issue once and for all and serve all the taxpayers of Adams County without a double standard.

Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

Some progress shown with TCAP scores Adams 12, Mapleton and D27J o� cials highlight progress By Tammy Kranz [email protected]

The growth rates in reading, writing and math are the highest they have been in three years for students in Adams 12 Five Star Schools.

But there is more work to be done, said Adams 12 Superintendent Chris Gdowski.

“Literacy is the gateway to learning in all content areas and we’ve made a very deliberate effort to focus on improving literacy across the district leading up to the 2014-2015 school year,” he said. “Par-ents are a child’s first teacher and we’re partnering with parents so we can collec-tively support student success by encour-aging children to get to school on time every day; to have children read or be read to every day; and to talk to children regularly about their interests, including college and career options.”

Statewide, third- through 10th-grade students took the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) tests, for-merly called the Colorado Student As-sessment Program, in the spring. Stu-dents are tested in reading writing and math, and fifth, eighth and 10th graders are tested in science. The results came

out earlier this month.In writing, 38.69 percent of third-grade

students scored proficient, an increase from 36.59 percent in 2013. The state pro-ficient level was 43.44 percent.

For students in 10th grade, 36.44 per-cent scored proficient in writing, a slight increase from 36.69 percent in 2013. The state proficient level was 40.92 percent.

Tenth grade students also saw a math gain in proficient level at 25.36 percent — it was 24.11 percent in 2013. The state proficient level was 26.93 percent.

There was a slight dip for math profi-cient scores for third graders but it was still close to the state average. Students scored 40.17 percent in 2014, 41.48 per-cent in 2013. The state proficient level was 40.29 percent.

Third grade students scored 60.62 percent proficient in reading, a small de-crease from 61.67 in 2013. Tenth-grade students’ scored 58.87 percent proficient; it was 58.84 percent last year.

MapletonResults are moving in the right direc-

tion for Mapleton Public Schools stu-dents, said executive director of Learning Services Karla Allenbach. She said scores increased or held steady on 12 of the 24 tests.

For third grade writing, students

scored 33.91 percent proficient, a de-crease from 34.94 percent in 2013. For 10th grade, students scored 32.31 percent proficient, an increase from 31.02 per-cent last year.

For third grade math, students scored 37.04 percent proficient, a dip from 44.87 percent in 2013. For 10th grade, students scored 15.10 percent proficient, an in-crease from 13.07 percent last year.

For third grade reading, students scored 53.19 percent proficient, an in-crease from 52.49 percent in 2013. For 10th grade, students scored 56.98 percent proficient, an increase from 53.83 per-cent last year.

“We did experience some dips this past year,” Allenbach said. “What that tells us is that the interventions we im-plement like Academic Parent Teacher Teams, MyOn reader, Math Literacy take time to be implemented well and show results. These interventions are research-based, specific and focused on ensuring our students have the skills necessary to succeed.”

She added that while there is a long way to go to move students toward profi-cient, TCAP scores do not paint a full pic-ture of a child’s progress.

“We continue to see increases in ACT scores, the number of kids we graduate and the number of students we prepare to tackle college and university pres-

sures,” Allenbach said.

District 27JSeven out of 24 tests are at or above

the state level in District 27J.“From year to year, our gains may look

small. But, when you take a look at the bigger picture, the academic growth our students have made since 2008 is impres-sive,” said Superintendent Chris Fiedler.

For third grade writing, students scored 39.75 percent proficient, a dip from 41.62 percent in 2013. For 10th grade, students scored 32.72 percent pro-ficient, a decrease from 34.02 percent last year.

For third grade math, students scored 43.46 percent proficient, a decrease from 44.52 percent in 2013. For 10th grade, stu-dents scored 19.52 percent proficient, an increase from 18.60 percent last year.

For third grade reading, students scored 67.09 percent proficient, a de-crease from 68.20 percent in 2013. For 10th grade, students scored 60.28 percent proficient, an increase from 58.27 per-cent last year.

“Our goal is for all of our students to be testing at a proficient or advanced level so we are not where we want to be yet,” Fiedler said. “But the results continue to show us that we are headed in the right direction.”

ADAMS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ON THE RECORD The Adams County Board of County Commissioners voted on the following during its Aug. 26 regular meeting.

Therapeutic servicesThe board unanimously approved

a resolution extending an agreement between Adams County and Community Reach Center for therapeutic interven-tion services for inmates at the Adams County Detention Center. The service is to treat alcoholism and drug use disor-ders as well as health illnesses related to

these addictions. The program is funded by a Jailbased Behavioral Services ( JBBS) Grant from the state and the new agree-ment is through June 30, 2015.

New dance hall licenseThe board unanimously approved a

new public dance hall license for Bella Vista Salon, which is located in the former Knights of Columbus facility at 6910 York St. in Denver. The board had continued the request during its Aug. 5 regular board meeting because the

facility was in an agriculture zone. The planning department concluded that this was a legal conforming use.

Washington Street improvementsThe board unanimously approved a

bid award to Hamon Contractors Inc. for the Washington Street Phase IV improve-ments in the amount of $5,580,000. This phase will widen and reconstruct Wash-ington Street between East 52nd and East 58th avenues. The scope of work in-cludes removal and installation of curbs,

gutters and sidewalks. Utilities will also be relocated and adjusted and asphalt paving and striping will be applied.

Commissioners on board are Chair-man Charles “Chaz” Tedesco, District 2, Eva Hendry, District 1, and Erik Hansen, District 3. The next regular board of county commissioners will be 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9, in the Public Hear-ing Room, Adams County Government Center, 4430 S. Adams County Parkway, Brighton.

Brighton, Prairie View drop season openersBy Michelle [email protected]

Neither Brighton nor Prairie View High School football teams could come out with a win during their season openers last Friday.

Rocky Mountain overpowers Brigh-ton 34-7

Brighton’s quarterback Brady Jacov-etta made the team’s only touchdown on a 1-yard score. Rocky Mountain scored 21 of a total 34 points in the first quarter alone.

“It would’ve been nice not to dig our-selves a hole in the first five minutes of the game,” BHS Coach Pat Sandoval said. “I know we’re young and at times it’s like deer in headlights. Spotting them 21 points right away doesn’t help. We’re a young team facing a senior dominant team. Brighton is small against everyone in 5A. We feel we compete with anyone on our schedule though.”

Sandoval felt the team played much better as a team after the first 5 to 7 min-utes of the game.

“No one quit,” he said. “We fought head to the end.”

Brighton travels to Monte Vista Friday.“Monte Vista had a scrimmage against

Rocky Mountain preseason,” he said. “So we got a look at them, they too platoon. We have several two-way players. They’ll be a tough opponent. They do have expe-rience at a lot of their key positions.

Horizon defeated Prairie View 32-18Prairie View didn’t come alive until

the second quarter where they scored 6 points on a rushing touchdown. The point after kick was no good. In the third quarter Prairie View completed a pass for a touchdown, and tried for a two point conversion that failed.

The Thunderhawks couldn’t hold Ho-rizon back from scoring 15 unanswered points in the second half.

Prairie View Coach Todd Riccio felt his team played hard the entire game.

“We just had too many turnovers and a couple of big plays against us,” he said. “We’re young on the offensive line and we’ll only get better with time and game

experience. Horizon was a well-coached, strong and a physical team. They were a great non-conference challenge.”

This week Coach Riccio said the team will work on not turning the ball over, fin-ishing plays and of course getting better every day.

“Mountain Range will be another tough challenge for us, as we continue to get ready for league,” he said.

Ben Meraz gets his allPrairie View quarterback Ben Meraz

said it was fun competing against Hori-zon, but he felt they came to play. “This one got away from us, but we now know what we need to work on so that we’ll be successful,” he said.

The junior has been playing football since the fifth grade, and has played quarterback the entire time.

“I do prefer playing QB because I like the responsibility that comes with it, and

I like being a leader,” he said. “I haven’t played any other position before high school or during my high school football career.”

Last season Meraz was named honor-able mention all-conference. “I don’t like to focus on the awards I get,” he said. “All that matters is if we get the win or not. If we go out and have a successful season, and I get recognized, it’s nice but that’s not at the top of my priority list.”

This season his individual goals are to improve on every aspect of his game.

“Whether it’s running the ball, passing or giving my team a chance to win every game,” Meraz said. “Our team is strong, it’s the beginning of the season and we just have to get settled into it. Compared to last year, I think we have every chance to be just as good, or even better as last year’s team, but we like to focus on the now, not previous seasons.”

Meraz said what helps him be a suc-cessful quarterback, is having a great O-line and supporting cast. “When you have time to throw and all the great skill players to throw to, it makes your life eas-ier,” he said. “What also helps me is tak-ing it one play at a time and staying even keeled.”

When he’s not playing football, Meraz runs track during the offseason to help him stay in shape and help him get faster.

“We’re looking forward to playing Mountain Range,” he said. “Getting to be in front of our fans; and in our home sta-dium is always great for us. We love how energetic our school spirit is.”

“Ben Meraz is a great student-athlete who gives everything he has, and always strives to be better,” Riccio said. “He works hard and is determined to be great. He’s a great competitor and will never stop fighting until the game ends.”

Tee o� towards strong goalsYang’s last year to pursue a trip to golf 5A state tournamentBy Michelle [email protected]

It’s been a rollercoaster type of golf season for Prairie View senior Andy Yang.

“I’ve played good in three tourna-ments and not so good in my others,” he said.

In the Horizon Invitational last week, Yang shot a 71 tying for third out of 144 competitors.

His dad got Yang started in the game of golf, and he’s played it for the past nine years.

“My favorite thing is always playing golf well,” he said. “Of course, my least favorite is obviously not playing the

game so well.”Yang said his personal goal is to make

it to the state tournament.“I’ve yet to make it to state in my high

school career,” he said.The past two years, the Prairie View

team won the East Metro Athletic Con-ference title.

“We will continue to try and take it again this season,” he said. “The team is strong and I believe in us to play well once again.”

Yang has gotten many awards and recognition, but said his most favorite award was receiving the EMAC Player of the Year.

When he’s not on the green, Yang is playing basketball as a hobby. He plans to attend college and said he loves Colo-rado University in Boulder.

“I want to become a psychologist,” he said. “I’d love to continue playing golf in college.”

Head over heels�ornton gymnastics looking to be a powerhouseBy Scott Stocker

The Thornton gymnastic team was able to get off to a fair start in its season opener against Ponderosa, Aug. 22. And even though the Trojans were defeated by the Mustangs, 168-166, it was not unex-pected.

“We are not at full strength at this point, but we are going to be strong this season,” said Thornton coach Phil Sailas. “We should be able to score consistent in the 170’s and I think we have the capabili-ties to come through with a 181 at some point. The girls are excited and ready to go hard.”

With the way gymnastics runs in Colo-rado, with not a lot of the larger schools even having gymnastics, Thornton is one team that actually combines athletes from four other schools — Brighton, Ho-rizon, Northglenn and Westminster.

“There is just great potential here,” Sailas said. “All of our varsity girls are strong on floor exercise and we’ve got at least four in every other event that can score high for us. We just need to stay healthy and I think we are going to open some eyes this season.”

Some of the best eye openers should be senior Hannah Van Horn, juniors Sara

Michie and Sierra Kirylo and freshman, Halle Bell. Also among the top return-ing gymnasts should be junior Brooklyn Edelen and sophomore Dusti Sandoval.

Bell scored a 9.5 on floor right out of the gate for Thornton in the opening meet against Ponderosa and Sailas is ex-tremely high on what he feels she can ac-complish.

“Yes, the expectations are high for this young lady,” Sailas said. “What a way to start your season, and even greater that she’s a freshman. Her confidence is high and she’s certainly one who is backing ev-eryone on the team.”

Bell was more than pleased with her opening night, but it wasn’t unexpected.

“My best event is floor,” said Bell, who attends Brighton. “I think this season we will work well as a team. I’m just so pleased to be able to compete in high school. As a team, our key is to stay fo-cused and work hard to always improve. What’s nice is that I do have a high school team I can compete with during the sea-son.”

Van Horn has been best for Thornton on the uneven bars while Michie feels at home on the balance beam.

“The Bars are usually the best for me and I think it’s going to be a fine and fun season,” Van Horn said. “We support each other and that’s important. I feel really good and I think we do have an opportu-nity to win state as team.

“I’ve been to state on the bars and vault,” Van Horn said. “My goal is to make

state this year in the all-around. We have a lot of good girls on our team and I think we can go a long ways.”

Michie is also confident she’ll qualify for state this season and has high hopes she can place among the state’s best.

“My best event is the beam and hope-fully I will become much stronger on floor,” Michie said. “I want us to make state and then for several of us to reach the second day of competitions for the

individual events. We’re so much better than last year and it’s great to have a lot of team bonding.”

Kirylo placed seventh in state last sea-son on vault, and Sailas thinks she will be so much stronger this time around.

“All the varsity girls can do full flips on floor and five of the girls have Giants on the bars,” Sailias said. “That right there is a plus. Again, we just have to stay away from injuries.”

Randall

Tennis, a family a�airRandall �nds fun and a mental boost on the courtsBy Michelle [email protected]

Tennis is all in the genes for Brigh-ton High School tennis player Ben Randall.

“My mom played tennis in high school, and is fairly good,” he said. “She’s the one that got me started in tennis with the Colorado Association of Recreational Athletics program.”

His mom has been the girls’ tennis coach at Prairie View High School for the past few years. “She’s a huge reason that I haven’t quite tennis,” he said. “This isn’t because she’s a coach, but rather a great mother.”

The senior has played No. 1 singles for three years.

“This year I plan to qualify for state … for the first time,” he said. “I also plan to be top in my conference.”

Last season Randall placed fourth at regionals, which were two matches from making it to the state tourna-ment.

“My favorite and least favorite things about the sport are actually the same,” he said. “The mental aspect of the game, I love that you get more pumped up the more you influence

your opponent. However, this does go both ways and you can very easily find your way on a downhill slop fast in a match. Mental toughness is a must in tennis.”

Randall’s main focus is tennis. “I’m not a super competitive level type person,” he said. “I more am about having fun with friends. I’m doing something al-most every day to stay active and fit.”

“What most people don’t think about is how intense matches and

points can get. Tennis is really chal-lenging physically and mentally, which people don’t realize. The great thing about tennis though is that anyone can play from kids in CARA to 80 years old. People don’t see many over the age of 50 playing football. Also the cute girls in tennis skirts don’t hurt either.”

Randall was named second team all-conference for tennis in previous year. He also had the opportunity with his CARA background to coach in the summer program this year.

“It was an awesome opportunity helping with CARA,” he said. “We had a lot of fun.”

A few colleges are talking with Ran-dall, but he’s not made any definite se-lections at this point.

PGA’s best to tee it up at Cherry HillsSta� Report

With dozens of the world’s best profes-sional golfers set to tee it up at Cherry Hills Country Club this week, tickets are at a pre-mium.

No tickets will be sold at the gate for the Sept. 4-7 BMW Championship and fans are encouraged to check online at www.BMW-ChampionshipUSA.com for availability.

“We do expect to see maybe over 140,000 fans for the week,” said BMW Championship General Chairman George Solich.

The BMW Championship is the third — and second to last — leg of the season-end-ing FedEx Cup playoffs. The top 70 players in the standings advance to Cherry Hills for the first Colorado PGA men’s event since the 2006 International at Castle Pines.

The top 125 players in the FedEx stand-ings, which didn’t include Tiger Woods, played Aug. 21-24 at The Barclays in Para-mus, N.J. to kick off the playoffs. Hunter Mahan won the event, and in turn moved from 62nd to first in the standings, dropping

Rory McIlroy to second.Playoff contenders were trimmed to

100 for the Deutsche Bank Championship Aug. 29-Sept. 1 in Norton, Mass., and the top 70 will then come to Cherry Hills.

Playoff points are added to those gar-nered during the regular season and points will determine the eventual champion following the Tour Championship Sept. 11-14 in Atlanta. Only the leading 30 play-ers in points after Cherry Hills will play in Atlanta.

In addition to Mahan and McIlroy, oth-er celebrated players in the top 100 prior to the Deutsche Bank Championship include Bubba Watson (fifth), 2010 FedEx cham-pion Jim Furyk (sixth), Rickie Fowler (11th), Sergio Garcia (15th), Kent Denver graduate Kevin Stadler (34th), Ernie Els (39th) and Phil Mickelson (57th).

The contenders who make the Cherry Hills field will compete on a 7,352-yard, par 70 course with 3-inch deep rough.

“With the rain we’ve had, the rough has got some teeth,” Solich said.
