Je�co mayors take aim at gun lawO�cials part of coalition for better gun checksBy Glenn [email protected]

A national campaign to reduce gun violence received a boost Oct. 11 when Golden became the first municipality to officially support efforts to close loop-holes in gun background checks.

Golden City Council voted 7-0 to pass a resolution supporting the national Fix Gun Checks Act after hearing public tes-timony from an Aurora theater shooting survivor, as well as local NRA members.

“I’m very thankful to be here to share my story tonight,” shooting victim Ste-phen Barton told council.

“I remember the tear gas canister fly-ing across the theater,” Barton began, re-lating the story about how one night out at the movies during a cross-country trip became a horror show.

Barton said after experiencing “the blinking light of his muzzle and the blind-ing pain of shotgun pellet” that tore into his face and chest, he received numerous condolences from state and federal law-makers.

“And while those (condolences) were appreciated, I was told that it was simply too soon to talk about guns, out of re-spect for me and the other survivors and victims. But in reality, it was too late,” he said.

Barton became a spokesperson for the Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group that purports to seek gun law reforms that re-spect the Second Amendment while re-ducing gun violence.

“I don’t think we should take guns

Junk sale returns to help Action CenterBy Clarke [email protected]

One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.

The Action Center has been proving this maxim true for more than 30 years with its Beautiful Junk Sale, and will be doing so again Friday and Saturday at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds Ex-hibit Hall, 15200 W. 6th Ave. in Golden.

During the sale there will be 10,500 square feet of jewelry, collectibles, vin-tage and household items.

Entrance to the sale is $3 per per-son, or $2 if shoppers bring two or more cans of food.

“It’s a wonderful tradition the Action Center has,” said Mag Strittmatter, ex-ecutive director for the center. “It raises awareness of the center while allowing people to find the most amazing stuff.”

The Action Center is a nonprofit that serves Jefferson County’s homeless and low-income families, helping them with basic needs and finding a way to self-sufficiency.

Strittmatter said that all the money raised at the biannual sale goes to the Action Center, which allows it to do all the help and outreach work it does.

The two sales in 2011 raised more

than $80,000. Everything sold are items that people donate to the center throughout the year, which its clients may not have any use for. The center’s clients receive items free of charge, but they are essential things, and some of what people donate are not needed, so they become part of the sale.

Chuck Carscallen and his wife have been volunteering at the sale since 1994, and have seen its enormous growth, from small beginnings to re-cent years, when 2,000 to 3,000 shop-pers will stop by during the course of the weekend.

“We do both preparation and days of sale help,” Carscallen said. “We help set up, bringing over stuff from the ware-house and helping with pricing. We’ve also done cashiering and been a floor-walker during the sale.”

Carscallen said the sale really offers some great deals, and has seen $100 toasters, sewing machines and other household items go for a mere $20.

“My favorite part about volunteer-ing is seeing people coming over, all ex-cited, and saying, ‘Look what I found,’” he said. “Every year, we watch people find something they’ve been looking for years.”

Strittmatter said part of the reason the sale has become so popular is not only are there great deals, but shoppers know they’re helping out those less for-tunate.

“It’s a great way for people to sup-port the Action Center by having a good time,” she said.

Shops for immigrants aren’t strictly businessIndira Torres stands behind the coun-

ter, mahogany hair neatly pulled back, ready for the steady flow of requests.

“How are you?” she asks in Spanish as a man in paint-spattered pants, a cam-ouflage Air Force hat tipped back on his head, walks through the door.

“Muy bien, gracias a Dios,” he says. Very well, thanks be to God. He hands his check to Torres to cash.

A young mother pushes a stroller inside and gives Torres $40 to pay toward her light bill. Torres taps in the woman’s information on the computer and ap-plies it electronically.

An older man pays for a calling card to Mexico. A young woman adds $3 on a rechargeable phone account. A daughter sends her retired parents, in their 70s and in Mexico, several hundred dol-lars for living expenses. A son wires his mother — and a sister — also in Mexico, enough money “so that they won’t lack for anything.”

This small storefront, in a Latino market that sells the fond tastes of once-upon-a-time lives, has become a one-stop shop that helps preserve the connection between the old country and the new one. It also provides the finan-cial services essential to begin planting stable roots here.

It’s like a warm, comfortable home, says Mayra Saldana, a petite 28-year-old Littleton resident who with her parents owns the Littleton store and another in Denver that adjoins a restaurant. “We provide the services where we can send money to their families and, as well, commonly used ingredients for Hispanic dinners.”

Food for the soul in every way.The businesses, throughout the

Denver metro area, nearly shout their services in bold-colored lettering in Spanish to passersby — money transfers, check-cashing, calling cards, money orders. Like Saldana’s two places, many share space with restaurants, small neighborhood markets or convenience

stores that sell everything from piñatas and cowboy boots to pico de gallo and baptismal candles. One, on Federal Bou-levard in Denver, advertises its services in a jewelry store.

The stores are a cultural reference point for many Latino immigrants, says Laszlo Kalloi, community affairs consul for the Mexican Consulate in Denver. He notes that consulate officials encourage the use of traditional bank services, rath-er than the private businesses, because more financial options are offered. But the neighborhood locations and absence of a language barrier make them feel more comfortable, he says. “They know the system and it’s easier.”

Walking through the doors is like stepping into another country, one with mariachi or cumbia music soft in the background, freshly baked pan dulce on trays and Spanish CDs and DVDs on the racks.

The sweet-spicy hot tamarind candy and crispy homemade chicharrones take me back to my growing-up years in Mexico and the other Latin American countries we lived in when my parents worked for then-United Fruit Co., which produced Chiquita bananas. The nostal-gic warmth of memories tease my heart for the culture I love deeply, and I can only imagine how it must remind many how far they are from home.

And, yet, maybe not so far, at least for a few moments, with the assistance of people like Indira Torres, 27, who drives six days a week from her house near I-70 and I-25 to Las Huertas Mexican

market. She doesn’t mind the commute to Littleton. “I am happy here because I know these people. I feel like this is my second home.”

With a kind smile, she deftly works the computer like a magician. She knows how to make the transfer happen, which calling card to suggest and how to exchange cash for money orders to pay the rent. She gets the job — all the jobs — done.

For construction workers. Restaurant waiters and busboys. Mostly men, but some women, too. Mostly from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. But also some from India, Saudi Arabia and Africa. They all come, many weekly, to conduct their financial transactions with confianza, Torres says.

Trust.That is why Veronica Vargas, 37, on a

recent afternoon, walked in after her res-

taurant shift to send money to her family in Mexico. Trust — and the language — make it “easier.”

She is one of 10 siblings and also has many nephews and nieces. She tries to help her parents out the most, but “I help them all,” she says. “Not always, be-cause sometimes, I can’t. But a little bit.”

These are the stories Torres hears ev-ery day as she facilitates the connection from the home in the new country to the home in the old country. Money sent to buy medicine, to help build a house, to make life a little better.

Stories about the bond that tran-scends the miles — love.

RTD district race focuses on futureCandidates look at e�ciency, changesBy Clarke [email protected]

RTD District M will face some huge changes with the completion of the West Rail Line, and the two candidates for the seat have different visions for the next steps and how the region should be developed.

District M encompasses most of Lake-wood, Golden and Wheat Ridge. Incum-bent Matt Cohen is being challenged by Natalie Menten for the District M position in the November election.

Cohen was elected to the RTD Board of Directors in 2008, and has worked as a real estate broker for nearly a decade. Menten has been working in different areas of poli-tics — at the city, county and special dis-trict levels — since the 1990s.

Both candidates have taken the time

over the past several months to acquaint t h e m s e l v e s with the issues and concerns of the district and the people in it.

“There are a myriad of issues facing us, and many yet to be discovered,” Cohen said. “Part of that discovery process comes from the fact that we haven’t had a system like this in the area in many years.”

“I’ve been talking to a lot of riders, espe-cially at odd hours,” Menten said, adding that many of these riders aren’t able to have their voices heard.

For Menten, the main purpose of RTD is to provide transport for those who need it. She said that people may not realize how large a “government body” RTD has be-come.

“As an RTD director, I see my job as rep-resenting the entire metro area, not just this district,” she said. “I want to make sure

RTD is providing more customer service for taxpayers.”

Issues that Menten would like to tackle include addressing adequate parking for people who want to use RTD and the effi-ciency of services like Access-a-Ride.

“I’ve been watching the entire light rail process, with the multiple rezonings, and have seen the impacts,” she said. “I want to share with my constituents what I saw, and other communities that have similar lines coming, show them what we’ve learned so they can avoid some of our mistakes.”

Cohen sees his role as an RTD director as being the eyes and ears of the public. He said since part of everyone’s taxes go to RTD, in a way, everybody owns a part of it.

“My mantra is to always make transit easier to use,” he said. “Predictability and reliability of service are key for any transit system.”

One of Cohen’s key areas of focus is as-sisting in making the light rail transition from the construction to operational phase as smooth as possible. He said people can expect some growing pains and changes in

the operating services of buses in the area, but he wants to make sure those changes don’t make things too inconvenient for rid-ers.

“I want to make sure there is efficiency in utilizing our resources,” he said. “I en-courage people to keep an open mind through the process, and if we screw up, we will fix it as we go.”

Menten would like to see a minimiza-tion of tax increment financing (TIF) used in the area. TIF is a way to get new or in-cremental taxes that are created when a vacant or blighted property is redeveloped, and those funds help pay for the project.

“Some cities are banning TIFs because of private interests who sometimes want to redevelop an area,” she said. “I would like to see more accountability with the exist-ing TIF program we have now.”

Cohen said he would like to look at the fare structures employed by RTD, and what any changes would look like.

“I’d like to examine more fare structures, and the implications of a flat fare system would be,” he said.

Budget re� ects economy First dra� of the 2013 budget goes public By Glenn Wallace g w a l l a c e @ o u rc o l o r a -donews.com

A fi rst draft of the 2013 Jefferson County budget shows the size of county government shrinking.

Jeffco Budget Direc-tor Christina Caputo pre-sented a fi rst draft Oct. 9 of county staff’s proposed $472.6 million budget, representing a $3.7 mil-

lion decrease from 2012, to the Board of County Commissioners. She gave a similar budget presen-tation to the public on Tuesday, Oct. 16.

Caputo said the de-crease is due in large part to a 1.3 percent drop in property tax revenue — the county’s largest source of revenue.

“We’ve been prepared for that, making cuts ear-ly,” Caputo said, adding that future property val-ue reassessments would hopefully providing in-creased revenue.

Other revenue sources, especially investment and rental income, are “very conservatively forecast-ed” Caputo said.

The county commis-sioners are scheduled to discuss the budget in greater detail in the com-ing weeks, with a fi nal budget adoption on Dec. 4. The draft budget docu-ment is available on the county web site at jeffco.us/budget.

While the budget is slightly smaller, it does call for four new full-time positions to be added to county government. The new positions are for a fa-cilities electrician, painter for the Sheriff’s Depart-ment facilities and two new Human Services De-partment employees to handle community assis-tance programs.

Combined with the

4.6 full-time equivalent positions that were cre-ated over the course of 2012 and Caputo said the net change from the approved 2012 budget would be 8.6 positions. That would place the total number of county posi-tions at 2,895.6.

“No funding allow-ances have been made for salary increases,” Caputo told the commissioners, meaning no cost of living, or merit raises for county employees.

Per the county com-missioners’ guidelines, the budget includes fund-ing for Jeffco to cover half of expected health benefi t increases for employees.

The county plans to increase capital improve-ment spending in 2013, with $38.3 million in proj-ects. Some of the bigger projects include work on Quincy Avenue from Kipling Street to Wad-sworth Boulevard and Chatfi eld Avenue from Garrison Street to Ken Caryl Avenue, as well as a $4 million mandatory up-grading of Jeffco’s voting system.

The county commis-sioners and Caputo not-ed that the draft budget “could look completely different,” following input from the public, county departments and com-missioner discussion, by the fi nal approval on Dec. 4.

Homesellers: Discover How You Can Get Your Asking Price, or More

Jefferson County-- When you decide to sell your home, setting your asking prices is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home, price is often the first he or she sees, and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers at not being in the appropriate price range before they’re even given a chance of showing. Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression”, and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make a good first impression. This is not as easy as it sounds, and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing is too high can be as costly to a home seller as pricing to low. Taking a good look at what homes in your neigh-borhood have sold for is only a small part of the process, and on

it’s own is not nearly enough to help you make the best decision. A recent study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want (and Need)”. This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three different angles. When taken together, this information will help you price your home to not only sell, but sell for the price you want.To order a FREE Special Report, visit www.UniqueDomainName-Here.com or the hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report, call toll-free 1-800-508-7293 and enter 1016.

Powwow draws people, eaglesEvent fundraising goal falls shortBy Cassie [email protected]

Attendees of the second Native Ameri-can powwow held at Red Rocks Commu-nity College said it was a moving event.

The Sept. 29 event was held at the Lakewood campus, 13300 W. Sixth Ave., with the goal of raising funds for the Na-tive American scholarships available at the school.

According to Angelina Archuleta, event coordinator, there was not enough money raised to fund a scholarship.

So instead, the money raised will be

used for another powwow next year, she said.

She was not able to provide the amount of money raised.

According to the head woman dancer, Monae Gooden, in addition to the thou-sands of community members at the powwow, a large flock of eagles were seen flying overhead.

The faculty and staff gathered on the grounds of the college said they rarely saw an eagle near the campus, and had never seen a flock of that size.

“That’s our power, that’s our strength,” Gooden said.

The powwow at RRCC started last year with the Native American student club.

The club has since disbanded, but Michele Haney, president of the college, said she wanted to keep the tradition go-

ing.Powwows honor Native American

culture and heritage through traditional dress, dancing, drumming, singing and food.

The term comes from the Algonquian word pawwaw, which means spiritual leader.

Members of the Powwow Trail, a group that travels to different tribal gatherings across the country, participated in the powwow.

Gooden, who used to travel and dance on the trail, said the Lakewood location was one of the best she had seen.

“It was a beautiful environment,” she said.

A traditional powwow starts with blessing the sacred circle, where the cer-emony is held.

Gooden said first the dancers make sure the children and the elders have ev-erything they need and are comfortably seated before the powwow begins.

According to Gooden they are the most important members of the culture.

Then the Native Americans participat-ing begin the drumming and dancing.

“The drum is the heartbeat of the cul-ture,” Gooden said. “Without that heart-beat we do not exist.”

Archuleta does not dance in the pow-wows but she does help with the prepara-tion.

She helped braid hair and dress others in traditional regalia.

There were also dance contests, story-telling, games, activities, door prizes and vendors selling traditional food, jewelry and crafts.

Packing to school with new supplies By Cassie Monroe [email protected]

Backpacks fi lled with new school sup-plies, hygiene products and books were secured in cardboard boxes stacked high in the Jeffco Public Schools warehouse in Lakewood on Oct. 12.

Homeless liaisons from 30 school dis-tricts across the state were picking up some of the 2,300 backpacks for their students.

According to the most recent num-bers from Jeffco schools, the district has almost 2,800 homeless students. Of those identifi ed 300 got a new backpack.

“It’s a touching experience bringing all of us together,” said Jessica Hansen, Jeffco’s homeless liaison.

Dana Scott, state coordinator for education of homeless children and youth, said as of the latest count, 2010-11 school year, Colorado has 21,487 chil-dren experiencing homelessness.

That number is three times what the count was during the 2003-04 school year. Scott said this year was the fi rst time the number of homeless children in the country passed the one million mark.

“All of this really speaks to the impor-tance of intervention,” Scott said. “So kids can be in class seats ready to learn.” She explained for a lot of homeless students school is the only stable envi-ronment they have and the backpacks, school supplies and hygiene products might be the only thing they get to own.

Of bringing so many homeless liai-

sons from across the state together in one place for the same cause, Hansen said the distribution day was encouraging. “We get re-energized when we all get to come together,” she said, “to meet the needs of the greater good for all kids.”

The packs were provided by Feed the Children, a nonprofi t group bringing aid to homeless children in school.

Many volunteers from Home In-struction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters USA, a division of Ameri-Corps, helped pack the supplies into the backpacks and onto trucks for de-livery.

This is the sixth year the program has given out the backpacks, and for the last fi ve years Jeffco has donated its warehouse as the location for the other homeless liaisons to come get the backpacks for the schools.

A student is identifi ed as home-less by the McKinney-Vento homeless Assistance act, which states a child lacking a fi xed nighttime residence is classifi ed as homeless. This includes children living with friends or relatives, in hotels or motels, emergency shelters or transitional housing programs.

Walk on the wild side Haunted Trail Adventure o� ers visitors a chance to see BCLP a� er dark By Clarke Reader [email protected]

Haunted houses offer manufac-tured scares, but Bear Creek Lake Park is taking a natural approach to Halloween.

The park, 15600 W. Morrison Road, is hosting its fourth annual Haunted Trail Adventure 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27.

Visitors are encouraged to wear costumes to the park.

The event is geared toward fami-lies, and gives them a chance to ex-perience the park during “spooky” dusk time, with a focus on learning about animals normally associated

with Halloween, like snakes, spi-ders, bats and owls.

“We wanted to make it more of a family event, rather than a scary event,” said Jody Morse, park natu-ralist. “It’s a great event to debunk myths about a lot of these ‘scary’ animals and educate people on how they’re really not bad at all.”

According to Jennifer Standlee, a seasonal park naturalist, during the event one of the trails has sev-en stations set up along the path, and at each station people can stop and learn about a different animal.

Park naturalists and volunteers will take visitors on guided walks through the trail so they can go more in-depth at the stations.

“It’s really held as an open house with a variety of activities,” Standlee said. “We’ll also have HawkQuest with live birds of prey and hot chocolate and a marsh-mallow roast at the amphitheater.”

The event has turned into a ma-jor one for the park.

Morse said the first year there

were around 100 people who at-tended, and last year there was close to 450.

“It really reconfirms the need and want for families to get out-side this time of the year,” she said. “Many of those who come are young families, with really young children, and it’s great to get them to the park.”

The goal of the Haunted Trail Adventure is not only fun, but a chance for people — especially children — to learn about nature.

“With most of our special events, they always have a mes-sage of education,” Standlee said. “It’s education-based for all ages.”

The real selling point is seeing the park at a time that visitors of-ten miss.

“It’s an incredibly magical time of year out here,” Morse said.

The cost for the event is $5, with no cost for children 3 years-old and younger.

Registration is required, and to register call 303-697-6159.

Tips to keep pets safe, warm New pet store focuses on animal safety By Clarke Reader [email protected]

Halloween and cool weather doesn’t just mean changes for peo-ple — their pets take part as well.

Chuck and Don’s Pet Food Outlet has opened a location in Lakewood and is offering some tips to keep pets safe during this time of year.

With Halloween fast approach-ing, some pet owners will be taking their dogs out with them while they go trick-or-treating, while others will keep their animals indoors, but in either case, there are some issues to consider.

“If you’re taking your dog out trick-or-treating, it’s key to have a se-cure leash, and especially important

to make sure they’re comfortable in their costumes,” said Christine Stanton, regional manager at Chuck and Don’s. “We also recommend not bringing dogs to the door with you.”

For people who are keeping their animals at home, Stanton said own-ers should keep their pets away from the door to avoid the stress of having so many visitors.

In celebration of Halloween, Chuck and Don’s, 1535 S. Kipling Parkway, Suites I and J, will have a pet costume party on from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27.

It’s a chance for pet lovers to meet each other and show off their pets.

When it comes to winter care, one area that Stanton advises own-ers keep an eye on are their pets’ paws, which despite what some may think, are particularly sensitive in the winter.

“We tell people that they should really wipe their pets’ paws when they come inside, because there are things like salt, anti-freeze and other chemicals to break ice up that they can get in between their toes and ingested when they lick them,” she said.

She also recommended that own-ers avoid shaving their pets or bath-ing them during the winter, as both activities make it more diffi cult for pets to stay warm when it gets cold.

For new pet owners, Stanton’s major advice for the winter months is to keep pets hydrated.

She said that pets burn a lot of calories staying warm when the temperatures drop, which can lead to dehydration.

8 Lakewood Sentinel October 18, 20128-OPINION

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURSOUR VIEW

This one is di�erentThis one is different. Sadly, not very long

ago, I found myself writ-ing about another tragedy. The massacre at the Au-rora movie complex this summer was an unbeliev-able assault of madness and evil.

But, somehow, we understood that one. It was a random act, indis-criminate in its violence, and shocking more for its scale than its particulars.

And though it does nothing to allay the trag-edy for the families and friends, we’ve become so used to this sort of thing that we knew, in a maca-bre way, how to deal with that one.

This one is different. This one is personal.

The abduction and mur-der of Jessica Ridgeway has gotten under our skin.

Complete strangers are talking about it, and you can feel it weighing on the community like a wet

blanket. This is one extraordi-

nary act of pure cruelty perpetrated against one innocent, helpless repre-sentative of our commu-nity, and it strikes at the core of who we are.

In whatever small way we are all still childlike, hopeful, and wide-eyed at the world around us, Jessica Ridgeway looks like how that part of our psyches would look.

The official Missing posters betray none of the cynicism, the disap-pointment, or the caution that mark the visages of the people we see on the streets every day.

This one is personal. I have an 11-year old; she has curly hair and wears glasses. This could have been her. The field where the body was found is a field I have ridden past on my bike dozens of times.

The neighborhood where this happened is one in which I spent six years teaching.

This one is different. This isn’t the act of a mad-man shooting out ran-domly from the darkness. This was just down the street, around the corner, right in front of the house where the kids play foot-ball after school.

She was hunted, cho-sen based on a particu-larly twisted criteria, and taken from the heart of our neighborhood sanc-tuary.

If the Aurora theater was an explosive expres-sion of evil overwhelming one man’s soul, this one is the quiet, insidious ex-

pression of evil that grows and festers, watching and waiting for a moment to rattle us off our equilib-rium.

And I use the word “evil” advisedly—I don’t throw it around willy-nilly.

It just seems that way, perhaps, because of how often we have been visited by it lately.

And rattled, we are. This is “Criminal

Minds” territory: We have, among us, someone ca-pable of taking a 10-year old girl from her neigh-borhood and cutting her to pieces.

Somewhere this de-mon is sitting by, amused by the coverage of his carnage, planning his next grim Bacchanal.

History tells us that there’s a decent chance that he will not be found any time soon; history also teaches that the com-munity will play a leading role in his capture.

This one is different—carrying on as if noth-ing happened is not an option.

There is no way to ever regain our equilib-rium around this one, but we can move forward smarter. Louis Pasteur said, “Chance favors the prepared mind;” so let’s prepare.

My friend Jay runs A.P.E. Stranger Awareness; he goes into schools and meets with kindergarten-ers and teaches them to recognize and respond to danger; he also meets with teens and adults and teaches them where, how and how hard to hit

somebody who is trying to harm them.

Also, there are sev-eral outstanding martial arts schools in the area, including the headquar-ters of the United States Taekwon-Do Federation in Broomfield.

But, more than that, it falls to all of us to recom-mit to our children.

As a man who “sur-vived” a youth spent playing such dangerous games as Dungeons and Dragons (I know—I’ve told you before that I’m a geek!), I firmly believe that evil really only grows in a vacuum.

A mind, a house, a school, a community filled with love and com-passion and connected-ness leaves no space for this to thrive.

At the very least, it recognizes the smell of something outside the ordinary.

It’s time to circle the wagons around our chil-dren, and strengthen our communities. And, you know what else? We need to pray. For the family, for the school, and for the soul of little Jessica Ridgeway, and for us. In whatever form that takes for each of us as indi-viduals, we need to call on God and all the forces for good to help us become the people that repel this sort of thing, and to give us the courage to confront it and end it. We owe that much to Jessica.

Perlmutter for re-election

The frank and spirited debates between incumbent congressman Ed Perlmutter and Republican challenger Joe Coors speak well for the 7th Congressional District. The two have endured a busy forum schedule with plenty of appearances for voters to listen and compare. In contrast, turnout for many state House and Senate forums have been checkered — but that is different matter.

As for the 7th, we give the nod to Perlmutter on balance and results. Perlmutter has per-formed well and should keep his place in Wash-ington.

Perlmutter has the right idea for the Af-fordable Health Care Act, dubbed Obamacare. Perlmutter said it needs work — not dumping — and there are some things about the act that will need to be fixed — many of these items he notes are unknown until all aspects of the act have had time to play out after they go into effect in 2014.

The fact that both Coors and Perlmutter generally agree on allowing parents to keep their children on their health insurance policies until age 26 and share other concerns about health care shows that the act has some good and should not be put on the scrap heap, as suggest-ed by some political factions.

We know Coors says “yes” and Perlmutter says “no” to extending the Bush tax cuts. Perlmutter is open to some adjustment upward of the $250,000 salary benchmark for the specified tax. Each says the other is dead wrong on whether the eliminat-ing the cut will cause job loss with affected high income business owners. On this matter, we urge Perlmutter to come over to the Coors side a little bit and further consider impacts on employment through higher taxes for higher income earners.

If presidential candidate Mitt Romney wins, Perlmutter will be pressed on this issue, but we know he has the skills to find good compromises. By the same token Coors would need to open up his compromise skills as opposed to his view in one debate we watched where he called keeping the tax cut a compromise in itself.

Regardless of which way the party pendu-lum swings, we believe Perlmutter has the best perspectives on the needs of the region. He is quick to see things that need to be fixed, such as recently joining with other lawmakers to sup-port a repeal of a pending 1099 requirement. The change would lead to a flood of paperwork for business owners in 2012 being required to file 1099s to any individual or corporation in addi-tion to contracted workers from which they buy more than $600 in goods and services in a year.

Coors has a strong backbone of beliefs, im-pressive experience in business, and we admire his work in the community. The district will be well served whichever man wins. Perlmutter works hard to connect with his constituents, and he is recognized often for his pragmatism — or in plain words — his ability to work all corners of a room. He is very quick to cut to the details and find answers. In a race with two good candidates, we give the nod to Perlmutter to stay on the job.

WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER


Where were you born?I was born in Pueblo CO and moved to Denver shortly a� er

graduating to attend College.

What do you like most about it?I have been in Golden area over 20 years. My husband and

I have been homeowners for over 15 years in Golden. Our children have attended the Je� erson County School District Schools, Maple Grove, Ky� n Elementary, Bell Middle and Golden High School. We really loved our school System. Gold-en is like a small Mayberry Town, tucked in the foothills and we have it all. Gol� ng, Biking, Hiking, and a tight knit community. We are very supportive of our Downtown Businesses.

How long have you worked in Real Estate & what is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with?

I have been in the Real Estate Industry for over 6 years and started my company in 2009 with Dianna Trepp, my busi-ness partner. Dianna is a former educator with Denver Pub-lic Schools with Double Major in Special Education and has been a Realtor for over 15 years. I was previously in the Bank-ing Industry over 20 years and understand the importance of obtaining � nancing before a First time Buyer or any buyer

starts looking for a property to purchase. It’s important to know how much a person quali� es or what to expect for an inter-est rate, closing cost along with taxes and insurance and the anticipated payment. I enjoy working with my group of pro-fessionals, selling, training and motivating is my specialty. We have a very diverse team. Susan � omas, Former Asst. District Attorney, and a few other agents from the Title Industry, Dis-tribution and Travel Industry. Most of our realtors have degrees and have traveled and communicate well with our clients and the community.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?� e most challenging part of my job is working with other

real estate agents who are sloppy and poor providers of service. We strive to educate the public, work closely with our custom-ers to make sure they are aware of all aspects of buying and selling a home.

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working?

I enjoy spending time with my family. We enjoy going to Bronco and CU Foot-ball, traveling, and family dinners.

What is one tip you have for some-one looking to sell a house?

Clean, Clean and Clean some

more. Surprising how many folks don’t get this. Clean always sells.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house?

Know what your limitations are…don’t buy a “� xer up” if you have no skills to � x it or the resources to have someone else help you. It’s better to pay a little more to for something, if you know that it will never get � xed. Many marriages end over this misconception and how much a place really cost to maintain. Know your budget and stick to it.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

I hate snakes. I once showed a property and later that a� er-noon received a strange call from the listing agent, asked if I had taken my purse in the home with me. I replied no. She

explained that a pet snake was missing and they were looking for it. OMG sure freaked out about this. A few

years back had the privilege to sell one of our old-est building in town, I was frequently asked if there

were “Ghosts”, I always answer, “No extra charge for them” and smile.

T AKE ADVANTAGE OF RECORD-LOW INTEREST RATES

Interest rates now are near 60-year lows. People are securing

30-year loans under 4 percent and 15-year loans in the low 3-percent range. �is makes owning a home much more a�ordable and is why we are seeing signi�cant increases in home purchases and mortgage re�nances.

�e ultra low rate environment is being driven by the uncertainty of the whole European situation, where a number of banks and countries are teetering on default,

coupled with a very slow growing U.S. economy and a job market that is barely maintaining positive momentum now. Be-cause of this uncer-tainly and a slowdown in economies in China and Asia, people are seeking a safe haven for their funds and are driving the U.S. Trea-sury to record lows. In fact, it appears if you add back in�a-tion, people are actu-ally accepting negative returns on their U.S. Treasury bond invest-ments as they are more concerned about a return of their invest-ment than a return on their investment.

So now is the perfect time to look at re�nancing or pur-chasing because of the low rates, and two, because of the number of re�nancing programs now avail-able that focus on allowing people to re�nance homes, even if their value has declined.

As far as the purchase environ-ment here in Denver, I believe the number of homes for sale has dropped from around the 25,000-range to the 10,000-range over the past couple of years. �ere is anecdotal evidence that there are bidding wars, o�entimes above

asking prices, and homes are being snapped up within days of going on the MLS listings.

Denver is one of the top markets from an appreciation standpoint according to the widely followed Schiller index. When you take the fact that homes had experienced a

decline in price over the past cou-ple years and couple that with the current low interest rates, a�ord-ability is sky high.

Habitat for Humanity Special to CCM

Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver’s Deconstruction Program offers homeowners a way to reduce the cost of their remodeling, scraping or demolition projects by offering free re-moval of old household items and materials.

Habitat works directly with homeowners to identify materi-als in their home suitable for resale.

Then the professionally led and trained Deconstruction Vol-unteer Team carefully removes the items for donation to Habi-tat’s ReStore Home Improvement Outlets.

This unique recovery program reduces the costs of home

improvement projects, provides homeowners with a tax de-duction for donated materials, and helps support Habitat for Humanity’s mission to eliminate poverty housing in Denver.

Selling everything from household appliances and cabinets to furniture and building materials, Habitat’s ReStores gener-ate the revenue that helps to support Habitat’s administrative costs.

This allows Habitat to work in partnership with more local, low-income families.

Since opening their fi rst ReStore in 2004, Habitat Metro Denver’s home production has increased by 70 percent, and this year it’s celebrating the construction of its 500th home.

Since its modest beginnings seven years ago, the Decon-struction Program has quickly become an integral component of the ReStores.

When Corey Biechele, Habitat’s deconstruction supervisor, fi rst took a hold of the reins of the program in 2011, about 40 deconstructions were taking place annually.

But by this end of this year, he and his volunteer team will have completed over 100.

Biechele believes the deconstruction program’s rise in pop-ularity has a lot to do with the benefi ts it affords homeowners. “On our full-size kitchen deconstructions, we’ve saved clients hundreds of dollars on their remodeling projects,” says Biech-ele.

But fi nancial reward isn’t the only incentive that attracts do-nors.

He has found that many of his clients gain a sense of relief and pride when they’re able to put their old items to use rather than scrapping them.

“We hated the idea of just throwing (our cabinets and ap-pliances) away and we knew that trying to sell it would be a challenge and a headache. Fortunately someone told us about Habitat for Humanity and we checked out the deconstruction and donation services,” said Sue, a homeowner in Douglas County. “We couldn’t have been more pleased to help out a good cause and not contribute further waste to our land-fi lls.”

To fi nd out more about the deconstruction program or to schedule a project preview, contact Corey Biechele at 303-960-4811 or at [email protected] or visit www.HabitatDenverDeconstruction.org.

Crosswinds not a problem at cross country meet Jeff co’s best runners meet as season’s end nears By Jim Benton [email protected]

LITTLETON - Drizzly rain and cold wind didn’t slow down cross country par-ticipants at Saturday’s 4A/5A Jefferson Country cross country meet at Clement Park.

Actually, Arvada West Conner Lock-wood said he used the cold conditions to his advantage.

“When it’s colder the ground is harder and you can push off better and get more distance and improve your times,” Lock-wood said.

Lockwood was the boys’ 5A meet win-ner completing the course in 16:14. His teammate Nicolas Sevcik fi nished fourth at 16:48, and Arvada West’s boys took third in the team event.

“The wind made it a little tough but we just powered through it and got the job done. We have a good team,” Lockwood said.

Pomona won the 5A boys team event with a total team time of 1:24:37. Marcelo Laguera, Jon May, Thomas, Gavin Mason, Michael Berthoud, Stephen May and Isa-iah Ybatta combined for the victory.

Dakota Ridge’s McKenna Spillar was the winner of the 5A girls fi nishing with a time of 18:56.

“It’s my senior year and one of my goals was to win a cross country race and it was just my day,” Spillar said. “I was hurt earlier in the season [with an ankle injury] so I told myself to just go run your heart out and I am happy that my hard work paid off.”

Ralston Valley produced the 5A girls’ team winner fi nishing with a time of 1:41:50. The winning team consisted of Nicole Hahn, Caitlin Hess, Alicia Thomp-son, Giulianna Vessa, Samantha Beding-er, Lydia McCracken and Shelbie Ralston.

In 4A, Evergreen dominated the meet, starting with boys’ winner Jackson Sayler who fi nished in 16:53.

After Sayler won individual boys, Ev-

ergreen’s Sammy Skold was the solo girls’ winner fi nishing in 19:36.

Evergreen would wrap up their im-pressive afternoon by winning the girls team event, fi nishing with a group time of 1:42:29. Sammy Sklod, Camille Mo-rales, Caitlin Schmitt, Jane Jensen, Emily Schulz, Annie Trimarco and Blair Bokel-man combined for the win. Evergreen’s boys also took second in the team event.

“We live up there in the mountains so we try to use those tough conditions to our advantage,” Evergreen coach Angie Harrington said. “Plus we had a bunch of colds we were fi ghting to get over so this was a great day for us.”

The 4A boys’ team winner was Conifer,

who fi nished with a combined time of 1:29:01.

Kevin Johnson, Ian McGhie, Mitch Hoffman, Mike Fera, Trevor Bickmore, Dylan Reed and Josef Gruber made up Evergreen’s winning unit.

Surprise performances included the combined effort from Golden. The De-mons had three girls fi nish in the top 11 in the individual race, led by Olivia Treit-man who fi nished third overall at 20:00.

Golden’s boys had four top 16 fi nishers which they converted into a third place team fi nish with a score of 1:30:44.

4A and 5A regional’s began this week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in various locations depending on region.

Locals make state tennis tournament but exit earlyQualifiers hope to parlay experience into future successBy Daniel [email protected]

DENVER - Qualifying for state as a high school tennis player is perhaps the hardest things to do in high school sports and is quite a feat in itself.

Add the pressure of being a freshman playing No. 2 singles on center court at Gate Tennis Center in front of hundreds of people and you have Arvada West’s An-drew Gillette on Thursday.

The 5A boys’ tennis season concluded last weekend at Gates Tennis Center in Denver, with the 4A boys ending their season at Pueblo City Park in Pueblo.

And Gillette’s special season wrapped up with a 6-0, 6-1 loss to Grand Junction’s Jacob Lapkin.

“I was a freshman on center court in front of hundreds of people and I kind of let that nervousness affect my play,” Gil-lette said. “I think I could have beaten him if I was playing my best but it was definitely a learning experience and I hope to come back next year and domi-nate.”

Elsewhere, Lakewood’s No. 1 doubles team of Stephan Liu and Adam Zim-merman also had their season ended by Cherry Creek’s Hans Bergal and Jace Blackburn 6-2, 6-3.

However, considering Bergal and Blackburn finished as the runners up to the state champs, it took one of the best doubles teams in the state to bring down Lui and Zimmerman.

In 4A, Golden wrapped up their im-pressive season by sending two teams to state in Pueblo. Golden’s No. 3 singles player junior Logan Hulet fell to Aspen’s Brad Broeking 6-3, 6-1, and their No. 4 doubles team consisting of Tim McLane and Kyle Taylor as beaten by eventual second in state finishers from Colorado

Academy Zach Turner and Will McDer-mid 6-1, 6-1.

“We didn’t advance but we learned a lot about what it takes to compete at that level,” Hulet said. “I think that I wanted it so bad that I didn’t play as well as I nor-mally play. But I have an offseason fitness plan, I plan on playing a lot of tennis and I plan on really going after it next year.”

5A state champions include: No 1. sin-gles: Hayden Sabatka, Highlands Ranch, def. Spencer Weinberg, Grand Junc-tion, 7-6 (5), 6-3; No 2. singles: Connor McPherson, Cherry Creek, def.

Lakewood, Ralston Valley battle for state soccer berthTigers tie game on penalty kick in final five minutesBy Daniel [email protected]

A win for either team would have put them in great position to qualify for state.

However, after Lakewood and Ralston Valley’s 1-1 tie at North Area Athletic Complex on Tuesday both team’s post-season aspirations are still up in the air.

Down 1-0 for most of the contest the Tigers (6-4-3) hung around and then dra-matically found a way to tie the Mustangs (9-4-1) and force overtime.

“Three points was what we wanted but getting out of here with one point af-ter being down for most of the game is a good thing. Everyone stepped it up in the second half when we needed to,” Lake-wood coach Tom Noor said.

The first 20 minutes of the game was a defensive grind out as both teams strug-gled to get it going offensively.

Ralston Valley finally started to find some rhythm and at 22:50 sophomore Peter Hendricks craftfully passed a ball off of his chest and right into the wheel-house of senior Kyle Breckenfelder who launched a ball at the goal.

But Lakewood goalie Fox Maikovich made an athletic save to prevent a goal.

The Mustangs broke through at 18:52 when senior Reece Bolin beat defenders towards the left side of the goal forcing Maikovich collapse on the ball.

This allowed Bolin to easily center a ball that senior Lorenzo Politano buried for a 1-0 lead.

At the eight minute mark in the first

half Lakewood senior Brandon Fac-tor nearly became the x-factor when he drilled a ball from midfield that Ralston Valley goaltender Davis Oaks could not control off his chest.

The ball bounced right on to the foot of freshman Charlie Caswell but the frosh kicked the ball just over the goal.

At 34:06 in the second half Brecken-felder beat Lakewood defenders up the middle of the field and launched a left footed shot that Maikovich had to fully extend to barely save.

“We have to be better at finishing when we get opportunities,” Brecken-felder said. “Sometimes we goof up and

don’t get the goal that we need. If we play consistent we can be a contender for state.”

With just over ten minutes left in the contest Ralston Valley freshman Logan Graybill shook his defender and then drilled a ball from the top of the box that went off the right goalpost and nearly right back to him.

But solid defense from both teams prevented either team from generating many real scoring opportunities in the second half.

On the verge of getting shutout Lake-wood caught a break with 5:37 left in the game.

Lakewood senior Andrew Thomp-son was questionably tripped and was awarded a penalty kick which he easily converted tying the game.

“I just went up there and kicked it in,” Thompson said. “You really don’t want to think about it, you just have to go up there and kick it through.”

Less than a minute later Ralston Valley sophomore Jordan Quinslik beat his de-fender and scored what looked to be the game winning goal.

But he was called offside.Both teams traded punches in over-

time but neither team was able to gener-ate any legitimate scoring chances and the game ended in a tie.

Arvada West (12-1, 7-0) clinched the 5A Jefferson Country league title with their 2-0 victory over Bear Creek on Wednesday.

That leaves Lakewood and Ralston Valley sitting with Chatfield (10-3-1, 5-2) and Stanley Lake (8-4-2, 3-2-2) as four teams with two league losses.

Short-handed Warriors tame TigersArapahoe moves to 6-1 with Super 6 league winBy Daniel P. [email protected]

LITTLETON - Arapahoe entered its Oct. 11 Class 5A Super 6 league game against Lakewood down a couple of key players.

Junior running back Jose Cancanon, who leads the Warriors with 853 yards rushing and nine touchdowns, was out with an ankle injury.

Also in street clothes was senior cornerback Thomas Trotman, who sustained a shoulder injury in the closing moments of Arapahoe’s 16-14 win at Mullen the week before.

Without Cancanon, the Warriors’ offense leaned a little more on quarterback Taven Sparks and he deliv-ered, completing 13-of-22 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns.

Defensively, brothers Taden and Talon Jones each had an interception, more than making up for Trotman’s absence as Arapahoe defeated Lakewood 27-14 at Little-ton Public Schools Stadium.

“We got to six wins and that’s huge,” Arapahoe coach Mike Campbell said. “We had a real emotional, tough win last week and then had to come back and play on a short week. I was very worried about this game. Lake-wood is a good team that plays hard and is well-coached.

“We didn’t play our best game but we got the win and that’s the most important thing.”

Neither injury appears to be season-ending, but Campbell isn’t sure when Cancanon or Trotman will be back.

“Jose was going to try and play, but he worked out (Oct. 10) and he just didn’t have that explosiveness that you’re used to seeing out of him,” Campbell said. “He’s done everything right in terms of rehab but it’s always tough with an ankle injury.”

Just as Arapahoe (6-1, 2-1) had to deal with injuries to key players, so did Lakewood (4-3, 1-2), as they lost starting quarterback Connor Leedholm late in the sec-ond quarter after taking a hard hit.

The Tigers trailed by just six, 13-7, at the time of Leed-holm’s injury, but outside of a 48-yard touchdown run by Sean Pinson-Boogs midway through the third quar-ter, were unable to muster much of an offensive attack.

Arapahoe, up 15-7 at halftime, extended its lead to 24-7 in a span of 12 seconds in the third quarter thanks to a safety and an 80-yard free kick return by Blake Nel-son.

After a three-and-out by the Tigers, the Warriors ap-peared ready to put the game out of reach but fumbled the ball away and a play later, Pinson-Boogs scored to draw the Tigers within 24-14.

Another lost fumble by the Warriors looked to give the Tigers life late in the third quarter but Taden Jones intercepted a Jacob Romero pass. The interception led to Arapahoe’s final points of the night as J.D. Hall kicked a 32-yard field goal with 34 seconds to play in the third quarter to put the Warriors up 27-14.

“The Jones brothers played a great game,” Campbell said. “Both stepped up and made big plays for us, and

we needed them.”Arapahoe jumped out to a 6-0 lead on a 22-yard

touchdown pass from Sparks to Andrew Jones in the first quarter.

Lakewood answered back and took its only lead of the night on a 49-yard touchdown run by Pinson-Boogs

on the opening play of the second quarter.Tight end Ethan Brunhofer, who had six catches for

103 yards for Arapahoe, hauled in a pass from Sparks, broke a tackle at the 10-yard line and scored from 24 yards out to put Arapahoe up 13-7 with 6:05 to play in the second quarter.

Snapshots of the nuclear ageRocky Flats Cold War Museum traces historyBy Clarke [email protected]

Rocky Flats may be closed, but its ef-fects still cast a shadow.

In an effort to offer a place for discus-sion from all parties, and to show all gen-erations what the birth and progression of the nuclear age looked like, the Rocky Flats Cold War Museum has opened in Olde Town Arvada, 5612 Yukon St.

“We want to show the story of Rocky Flats from multiple perspectives — the environmental issues, the life of the workers and the people who protested it,” said Conny Bogaard, project manag-er. “The goal is to build a platform where the community can come together to ex-amine the legacy.”

The museum’s inaugural exhibit is “Behind the Atom Curtain: Life and Death in the Nuclear Age,” an Atomic Photographers Guild collection of pho-tos of the landscapes, people and af-termaths of nuclear testing and power plants. The exhibit runs through Nov. 30.

The exhibit is curated by Robert Del Tredici, the founder of the Atom-ic Photographers Guild, and features not only photos of the history of Rocky Flats, but also of the Trinity Explosion in Alamogordo, N.M., and photos from Yoshito Matsushige, the only photogra-pher allowed to photograph Hiroshima after the bombing.

The social impacts are also docu-mented with photos of protests after the disasters at Three Mile Island, Chernob-

yl and Fukushima.“This exhibit is partly a story of Col-

orado and local concerns, but it also shows the global concern,” Bogaard said.

Local photographer Carole Gallagher, who has spent years documenting the lives of those affected by nuclear use, has a display of her works about people who lived near the testing in Nevada.

Gallagher, who grew up in New York City, said she was raised during the time of great fear of a nuclear strike being im-minent.

“I always wondered what happened to the people who lived near the test-ing areas,” she said. “So in my work I focused on workers, downwinders and atomic veterans.”

Gallagher said she really came to ad-mire the workers at these sites, who re-ally put their lives on the line for their country. Many of Gallagher’s stark, black and white photos, show people who lived in Nevada while nuclear tests were

going on and were told that they were safe, only to develop a wide-range of health issues, including a variety of can-cers and bone diseases.

“This exhibit really has captured the first moments of the nuclear age, and when it will end we don’t know,” Galla-gher said.

Bogaard is careful to note that the museum and its exhibit is not a con-demnation of nuclear power or Rocky Flats, but is a place that brings to light issues about nuclear use that still are up for debate.

“We raise a lot of questions, and it’s not necessarily about having the an-swers,” she said. “Instead, we want it to be something people think and talk about, and come away with a new un-derstanding.”

The museum is open noon to 4 p.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

For more information call 720-287-1717 or visit www.rockyflatsmuseum.org.

Boulder bombs on booze biz

Is Boulder crying in its beer? While the city may have thought it would get the only Trader Joe’s in Colorado with a liquor license, Denver snagged that shot.

When both stores open next year, Denver customers will be able to buy liquor and check out in an attached area of the store. The grocery and li-quor sections will share a common entrance, but liquor sales must be completed separately.

How did Denver grab the liquor biz from Boulder?

“We’re a better and bigger market so they can sell more (liquor) here,” said a source close to the deal. “Our process (to obtain a liquor license) is faster and cleaner, and Boulder blabbed about getting a liquor store. Denver kept its mouth shut.”

The initial hearing — the first step in the liquor license process — will be held at 9 a.m. Oct. 26. The store will have to jump through a few city-required hoops before getting the final sign-off.

Both Boulder and Denver Trad-er Joe’s stores are expected to open around the same time next year.

away from law abiding citizens. But I do think we should do a better job of taking them out of the hands of those who should not have them,” Barton said, stating that 34 Ameri-cans a day are murdered with fi re-arms.

The Fix Gun Checks Act seeks to accomplish that goal, requiring bet-ter reporting of criminal and mental status to the national gun check da-tabase, as well as requiring all pri-vate gun sales to also go through the background check process.

Golden resident Charlie Sturda-

vant also spoke before the council, identifying himself as a lifelong Na-tional Rifl e Association member and a gun safety instructor.

He said that no strengthening of background checks would stop people from going insane or from keeping criminals from using illegal channels to get fi rearms.

“But the fi x gun checks act, I can support that,” Sturdavant said

Still, he cautioned the council about supporting “other measures” that may be endorsed by gun con-trol advocates.

“Those other measures might mean trampling on our Second

Amendment rights,” Sturdavant said.

District 1 Councilor Saoirse Cha-ris-Graves, who said she served as a fi rst responder at the Columbine school shooting, was the one to make the motion to accept the reso-lution, which passed unanimously.

Across Colorado, there have been 13 mayors (including Lakewood’s Bob Murphy) who have joined the Mayors Against Illegal Guns coali-tion, though only Golden has passed a supporting resolution to date.

“But I believe there will be follow-ing resolutions,” said Golden Mayor Marjorie Sloan.
