Nichol clearedCounty business practices fell below citizen expectations, report saysBy Darin [email protected]

Adams County Commissioner Alice Nichol will not face any criminal charges follow-ing an extensive investi-gation that scrutinized her alleged involvement in the multiyear Quality Paving and Quality Re-surfacing scandal.

Jefferson County District Attorney Scott Storey, the special pros-ecutor assigned to the case, officially ended his 21-month investigation on Monday.

“I’ve been waiting for over two years to find out what I had known this whole time: I did not do anything criminally,” Nichol said on Monday. “I am finally re-lieved because I was hoping that I would not go out of office with this cloud over my head and over my family, but I always felt that the whole Quality Paving case kept me hostage,”

Allegations leveled against Alice Nich-ol and her husband Ron primarily stem from work done on the couple’s resi-dence in July and August 2005 by Quality Paving and Quality Resurfacing.

Those allegations claimed the work was either charged below market value, or charged and returned to the Nichols several years later, but both rested on the premise that the cost reduction contrib-uted to her approval of public works con-tracts to the paving company.

Adams County District Attorney Quick said he turned over the case to the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office in April 2011 amid potential con-flict of interest concerns, since both the Adams County Sheriff’s Office and Dis-trict Attorney’s Office budgets must be approved by the county commissioners. “When we appoint a special prosecu-tor, you turn the decisions over to them, so I accept and am bound by their deci-sions,” Quick said.

Storey said in a letter to Quick that his office was unable to prove Nichol’s in-volvement beyond a reasonable doubt. This inability to prove criminal miscon-duct was hampered by “numerous prob-lems with the procedures and paperwork or lack of paperwork” in the public works department, Storey said.

In some cases, he said agreements were either never put into writing, never documented or were too ambiguous and did not provide specific project details, such as cost estimates and authorizing officials.

Storey was critical in his assessment of Adams County and its public works department that officials did not follow numerous county policies and proce-dures, such as approving contacts and change order without fully understand-ing the terms and conditions and failing to disclose relationships with businesses that work with the county and require

HISTORIC RUN

Child safety important as everBy Darin [email protected]

Stephanie Sakal has taught her 3-year-old daughter Ad-dison her entire name, her birthdate and where she lives.

But, the 31-year-old West-minster resident said she is always concerned when her daughter wanders off and wants to explore the world on her own.

“A lot of the times she feels the need to go run off and do what she wants to do, so I’ve tried to make her understand that she can’t do that,” Sakal said. “She could be taken by some random stranger and they would not ever bring her back.”

Sakal said the Jessica Ridgeway’s abduction and murder last week brought the importance of safety home for her daughter, who cried af-ter hearing about Ridgeway’s death.

This weekend, Sakal was

not the only concerned parent in the community still holding their children a little closer.

On Saturday, she was one of many people who converged on the Pro Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram car dealership to participate in a safety event by DNA LifePrint, a child safety organization sponsored by America’s Most Wanted host John Walsh.

“It’s an absolutely amazing response,” said Pro Chrys-ler Jeep Dodge Ram general manager Jeff Schenden, who estimated the crowd at 1,000. “We’re glad that we’re able to help some. We’re kind of fig-uring that if we can just help one, we’re doing our job.”

Throughout the day, Thornton Police Department officers provided child safety information to community members and their young children and created a disk for parents holding crucial in-formation on their children, including fingerprints, palm prints, a journal of informa-tion of the child and a digital

photograph.Schenden said the infor-

mation is important for par-ents to have so law enforce-ment officers can issue an Amber Alert in seconds.

“We need to protect our-selves and we need to protect our children and this is one way to make sure that if any-thing horrible like that ever did happen, they have the in-formation that they need for law enforcement officials to get the message out as fast as possible,” Schenden said.

By the end of the day, when the last person filed out of the car dealership at 7 p.m., Schenden said DNA LifePrint was able to provide informa-tion and services to 410 chil-dren in the community.

Schenden said this is the second time the car dealer-

ship has hosted the event. Shortly after the first one

was held this April, Schenden said he made arrangements to host the event on Saturday.

Schenden said he could not have imagined how timely the event would be.

“Kids are our lives and par-ents understand that more than anybody that the chil-dren are our future, and keep-ing them safe is our number one goal,” Schenden said. “I think safety is at the forefront of parents’ minds and they are more of it because of what happened, but I don’t think it is more important today than it ever has been.”

“The Respected Leader In The Industry Since 1974”

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

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

“How are you?” she asks in Spanish as a man in paint-spattered pants, a cam-oufl age 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 in-side 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 dollars for living expenses. A son wires his mother — and a sister — also in Mexico, enough money “so that they won’t lack for any-thing.”

This small storefront, in a Latino mar-ket that sells the fond tastes of once-up-on-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 fi nancial servic-es 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 Den-

ver metro area, nearly shout their ser-vices 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 neighbor-hood markets or convenience stores that sell everything from piñatas and cowboy boots to pico de gallo and baptismal can-dles. One, on Federal Boulevard in Den-ver, 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 offi cials encourage

the use of traditional bank services, rath-er than the private businesses, because more fi nancial 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 step-ping into another country, one with ma-riachi or cumbia music soft in the back-ground, 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 Mex-ico and the other Latin American coun-tries we lived in when my parents worked for then-United Fruit Co., which pro-duced Chiquita bananas. The nostalgic 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 Little-ton. “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 call-

ing 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 fi nancial transactions with confi anza, 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, because 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 transcends the miles — love.

Spaceport receives nod Front Range Airport garners interest from space vehicle manufacturer By Darin Moriki [email protected]

The promise of a spaceport at Front Range Airport within the next several years may be a little brighter after Flori-da-based suborbital fl ight vehicle man-ufacturer Rocket Crafters signed a letter of intent expressing future interest on the budding site.

“They (spaceports) will compliment America’s highly developed air trans-portation system by being located on or near major commerce and transpor-tation hubs like Denver,” said Rocket Crafters Chief Technology Offi cer Ron-ald Jones said in a statement. “We ap-plaud the leaders from Front Range Airport, Adams County and the state of Colorado in taking this bold step and leading the nation in what some call `the second Golden Age of Flight.’”

The letter, which was signed on Oct. 10, outlines a mutual intent between Front Range Airport and the Titusville, Fla.-based company to promote and de-velop Spaceport Colorado as the com-pany’s preferred commercial spaceport location in the region.

Once Front Range Airport obtains a Federal Aviation Administration-ap-proved spaceport license authorizing horizontal takeoffs, the letter also sets out nonbinding plans for Rocket Craft-ers to conduct certain pilot astronaut and mission specialist training activities at the spaceport.

The company also highlighted plans to conduct test fl ights of its planned Sid-ereus and Cosmos Mariner suborbital

fl ight vehicles between Spaceport Colo-rado and the proposed Neil Armstrong International Air and Space Center in Titusville, Fla.

Tentative plans also call for the com-pany to establish offi ces and specialized support facilities at Spaceport Colorado that may support up to 80 full-time, high-paying jobs.

“Their incentive is to help us to be in the right position, so that they will be able to come here, if that happens,” said Front Range Airport executive director Dennis Heap during the Front Range Authority board’s Oct. 10 meeting. “If we can get Spaceport Colorado stood up and obtain the license that will allow us to be a horizontal launch facility, be-cause of our close proximity to Denver International Airport, they see this as one of the primary facilities in the Unit-ed States or the world where all of this can take place.”

The airport is currently in the pro-cess of compiling information needed for the facility to apply for a spaceport license, including an environmental as-sessment, and a feasibility and market-ing study.

In all, Heap said the studies will take about six months to complete.

Front Range Authority board mem-ber and executive director of Adams County Economic Development Barry Gore said the nod from Rocket Crafters is a step in the right direction.

“I like the fact that Rocket Crafters has gone on record as saying, ‘If Space-port Colorado happens, we’re interested in being there,’” Gore said. “It doesn’t bind us, but just says, ‘If they’re serious to make a spaceport, then we’re serious about being a tenant.’”

Front Range Airport is at 5200 Front Range Parkway in Watkins.

Honoring Jessica’s memory People come together to commemorate girl’s life, join eff orts to seek justice By Darin Moriki [email protected]

Nearly a thousand people stood un-der cloudy skies and pouring rain to say goodbye to a girl most of them never met.

Community members, search volun-teers and authorities gathered Saturday to celebrate the life of 10-year-old Jes-sica Ridgeway with a balloon release at American Furniture Warehouse, 10455 Sheridan Blvd.

Later that night, people also gathered for a candlelight vigil at Westminster

City Park, 9410 Wadsworth Parkway.The events took place the day after

police announced DNA tests identifi ed the girl’s remains found in Pattridge Park Open Space Park in Arvada Oct. 10.

Jessica was last seen alive walking to school on Oct. 5.

Christi Smith and four other Thorn-ton residents brought a single heart or star-shaped mylar balloon in Jessica’s favorite color — purple.

Around 2:15 p.m., the crowd released its balloons and watched as they dotted the grey sky above them.

“This is our community, this is our town and these are our kids,” Smith said as she fought back tears. “They are not property to be taken. No parent should have to bury their child.”

Question backs campaign fund limits Amendment 65 encourages representatives to support campaign fi nance changes By Clarke Reader [email protected]

A lot of money is being spent on the election this year, but Colorado voters have the opportunity to make their voices heard on the issue with Amendment 65.

Amendment 65 instructs Colo-rado’s congressional delegation to propose, support and ratify an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that allows for states, and Congress as a whole, to limit campaign contri-butions and spending.

The amendment is a reaction to the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court deci-sion in Citizens United v. FEC, as well as other decisions, that said lo-cal, state and federal offi cials no lon-ger have the authority to decide how much money is spent on elections.

If the amendment passes it does not change any state or federal laws about campaign fi nance, but rather

encourages the state’s legislators to take steps to amend the U.S. Con-stitution to allow limits on election spending.

According to Elena Nunez, who is working on the campaign to get Amendment 65 passed, it’s a chance for voters to stand up to big money and signal they would like to see a change in how elections are run.

“It’s a way for constituents to communicate their priorities to elected offi cials,” she said. “Colora-do voters have a long history of sup-porting reforms to level the playing fi eld.”

She said that voters are seeing the effects that people and organiza-tions with a lot of money to spend on elections are having, they are looking for a way to make their voic-es heard that this is not OK.

There is no organized opposition to the amendment, but according to the state’s ballot information book-let, the argument against passing 65 is that a ballot measure cannot re-quire elected offi cials to vote in sup-port or against measures or issues.

With this being the case, the

amendment has no practical effect.“Those who advocate for more

restrictive campaign fi nance laws should instead support congressio-nal candidates who will pursue such changes,” the book states.

Another argument in opposition is that the measure could lead to re-strictions that limit free speech.

“Individuals and organizations should not be restricted in how they spend money to promote the ideas and candidate they support,” ac-cording to the booklet. “Further, candidates and campaigns should be free to spend any contributions received from supporters.”

Nunez said the campaign right now is working on getting the word out to voters about the amendment, but if it passes, then the real work will begin on Nov. 7.

That is when efforts will begin to get an amendment to the constitu-tion about campaign fi nance.

“We’ve seen the infl uence of big money, with so much being spent on attack ads,” she said. “This is a way for people to stand up to big money and infl uence reform.”

Commissioner candidates tackle poverty Four of the fi ve hopefuls off er varying solutions to growing issue By Darin Moriki [email protected]

Four of the fi ve Adams County commissioner candidates vying for two district seats in the general elec-tion offered varying solutions to ad-dress the county’s growing need to fund human service programs.

During an Oct. 9 forum at the Anythink Huron Street library in Thornton, the four candidates sin-gled out job education, child care, mass transit, ethical government practices and economic growth as viable poverty solutions.

District 1 Democratic candidate Eva Henry identifi ed job education programs, adequate child care and mass transit efforts as solutions to help alleviate poverty in the com-munity.

Her Republican opponent, Gary Mikes, pledged to bring “a good, clean, ethical form of government into Adams County.”

“When that happens, we won’t be paying lawsuit settlements, pav-ing streets that we don’t have or stuff like that, so we can fund programs to help our children, help our com-munities and help businesses suc-ceed, which will create more jobs and make a big difference in our poverty problem,” Mikes said.

District 2 Republican candidate Donnia Howell said the county “should utilize every form of federal and state funding that we can get to people.”

She also said the county must work to increase job opportunities by attracting more businesses to the area.

“People want to work and want to be able to provide for their chil-dren,” Howell said. “People don’t want a hand out, they want a hand up, so let’s help these people and get

them the education and job train-ing services they need, and let’s get every source of funding that we can to be able to push people up so they can support their families.”

Her Democratic opponent, Charles “Chaz” Tedesco, lauded community programs that provide people with education and career opportunities, such as apprentice-ship programs at Labor’s Com-munity Agency and education, job support and retention programs at ACCESS Housing, Inc.

“I think you’re seeing very, very good responses coming out of that and those are the kinds of pro-grams that we need to have across the board,” Tedesco said. “If we can get people what they need and not give them a hand out but a hand up, they’re going to work for it, take ownership of it and be proud of it and they’re going to continue it.”

District 2 candidate James Fariel-lo, American Constitution party, was not at the forum.

from the Ridgeway family’s home, said she has been in-volved in the search for Jes-sica for nearly a week and wanted to stand in solidar-ity for the girl’s family.

“I’m very proud of my community,” Bunt said. “Yes, I hope her killer is caught. Yes, I hope her kill-er is brought to justice. It’s atrocious. It’s just sad that it takes something like this to bring people together.

Resident Kimberly Bow-man, who helped to orga-nize the balloon release through the Jessica Ridge-way Facebook memorial page she created, said the outpouring of support that she and other volunteers received was amazing.

“The people of Arvada and Westminster are in-credible, and I knew they would rally,” Bowman said.

“Though I had never met Jessica, she has strength-ened me in ways that I could have ever imagined,

and that is something that I will always hold with me.”

commissioner approval.“It is clear that the business practices

of the county and its commissioners, including Alice Nichol who was a tar-get in this investigation, fell well below what most citizens would expect from individuals practicing good govern-ment,” Storey said.

Adams County officials have made several attempts to address reform, in-cluding creating a centralized purchas-ing process, hiring an outsourced inter-nal auditor, launching its Transparency Portal and hiring an independent eth-ics officer.

Nichol said she is pleased with the reform efforts taken by the county, but noted that a lot of the damage has al-ready been done. In March, Nichol lost her bid for re-election as a Democratic candidate in the primary election.

“The cloud cost me re-election and it has certainly been a tremendous burden living under that cloud for my family as well,” Nichol said. “A judg-ment call with no factual information was made on me and it was all based on perception. I’ve always felt that I’ve been made the political scapegoat for the ills of Adams County that I always wanted to resolve.”

Congressional candidates discuss health care, budgetAll four posit differing opinions on key socio-economic issuesBy Darin [email protected]

As the race for the 6th U.S. Congres-sional district heats up, the four can-didates vying for the single seat took a moment to weigh in on their differing, yet equally diverse solutions to tackle two of the nation’s most pressing issues: looming budget cuts and healthcare re-form.

Republican incumbent Mike Coff-man said he is concerned by the way the nation’s projected $1.2 trillion in sequestered cuts will affect the Depart-ment of Defense, expected to see nearly $500 billion in evenly distributed cuts over the next nine years.

“I believe that the cuts are possible, without compromising national secu-rity, if we focus on trimming the top-heavy nature of the Pentagon bureau-cracy, closing overseas military bases that are no longer needed, and seeing what functions currently being per-formed by active duty personnel could be more cost effectively done in the National Guard and Reserve,” Coffman said.

His Democratic challenger Joe Mik-losi, meanwhile, said the projected cuts ”would negatively impact Colorado’s strong defense contract industry,” and suggested that the Joint Chiefs of Staff be involved in the budget cutting pro-cess.

“We need a strategy that creates sta-bility abroad without bankrupting us here at home,” Miklosi said. ”We should invest in development and diploma-cy, align defense spending to match threats, recognize that new threats don’t always align with traditional de-fense spending, and cut outdated de-fense programs without compromising our security.”

Libertarian candidate Patrick Pro-vost said defense spending is a large, yet part of the federal government’s budget, but said cuts to the department should not just be limited to cutting la-bor and benefits.

“I know from personal experience that there is fraud, waste and abuse within the department,” Provost said. “We must take an honest look at these failing programs to see how we can fix them.”

Independent candidate Kathy Pol-hemus said legislators should take an-other look at the Simpson-Bowles plan, a bi-partisan supported deficit reduc-tion plan, focusing on healthcare, de-fense spending, income tax law, Social Security and the national debt’s com-pound interest.

The four candidates are also sharply divided on their support for the Patient Protection and Affordable Healthcare, commonly known as Obamacare.

Miklosi said Obamacare is impor-tant, because it eliminates discrimina-tion against pre-existing conditions, allows young people to stay on their parents’ health plan until age 26, fills the “donut hole” for seniors, and pro-tects women’s health freedoms.

But, he said, small business owners must be given more incentives to pro-vide their employees with health care.

Coffman disagreed, saying that Obamacare would actually hurt seniors by phasing out Medicare Advantage and reducing reimbursements to doc-tors and hospitals.

“All of this means senior citizens will have fewer options when it comes to their health care, including who their doctor will be,” Coffman said.

Polhemus said legislators should take another look at Obamacare and consider the fact that nearly one-third of a person’s Medicare benefits are used during their last year alive.

Provost said he does not support Obamacare, because it, like any other government program and department, would be “caught up in red tape and bureaucracy” and “hurt those who are in genuine need of care.”

“The federal government is not de-signed to be efficient or to be a deliv-erer of services,” Provost said. “They are designed to be a regulatory commit-tee that is supposed to protect its peo-ple from threats of all sorts both from within the nation and from without. We must return to that ideal and stop meddling in the lives of the individual citizen.”

Marijuana question a pitched fightAmendment 64 would make state first to legalize marijuanaBy Clarke [email protected]

Many eyes will be turned to Colorado to see if it becomes one of the first states to le-galize marijuana for recreational use.

Amendment 64 would amend the state’s constitution to allow for the growth, trans-port and sale of marijuana, as well as allow

the establishment of retail stores, growing and manufacturing facilities.

Similar issues are on the ballot in Oregon and Washington this year.

According to Mason Tvert, the “Yes on 64” campaign co-director, the amendment regulates marijuana in a similar way to alco-hol.

Possession, use and limited-home grow-ing would be legal for residents 21 years old and older, and the system for regulation and tax would be near what the system for alco-hol is.

Passing the amendment would no

change DUI or employment policies, and stores selling marijuana could still be prohib-ited by localities.

This issue has been on the minds of ma-ny since medical marijuana was legalized in 2009, and both sides of the amendment are extremely passionate about it. Major sup-porters have flocked to each side, and the debate over the issue is just heating up.

Laura Chapin, a spokesperson for the “No on 64” campaign, cites three major reasons against passing the amendment.

“The increased access is a huge problem,” Chapin said.

“Parents know that more pot available means there will be more pot that kids have access to.” She added that use among stu-dents is already on the rise, and that the amendment will only increase the number of young people smoking.

Another problem with the amendment is that it conflicts with federal law, Chapin said. Since federal law still bans the production, transportation and distribution of marijuana, if the amendment passed, users would be-lieve they would be protected by Colorado law, but federal law would supersede the

JENISE MAYParty: DemocraticAddress: PO Box 31392, Aurora CO 80041Background: 26 years public service experienceContact: www.jenisemay.com

1) Through, Consensus building, Pragmatic

2) I have dedicated my life to working with families and chil-dren in need of assistance. I started my career at the Adams County Department of Social Services as an accounting clerk in child care. I ended my 26 years of public service as the deputy director of the Colorado Depart-ment of Human Services. I was responsible for six veteran nurs-ing homes, three regional cen-ters, and disabilities determina-tion services.I have expertise in bringing a program in on budget and un-derstand how not to waste tax-payer dollars. The department gave me the opportunity to work with a variety of people — from unskilled workers to people with doctorates, people of different ethnicities and abili-ties, and different political points of view. I learned that in order to make a difference, you need to listen to all opinions and po-sitions, and develop solutions that take the best ideas from all to end up with a product that works for most.

3) Jobs, Education, and Ending Unfunded Mandates

4) Provide oversight to ensure taxpayers dollars are being used in the most efficient and effect way.

5) I support the Hire Colorado Plan that will allow for Colorado tax dollars to promote Colorado jobs. I also support the innova-tion tax credits that will create the high-tech and biotech jobs that will result in a strong econ-omy.

1) Investigate, Deliberate, Ex-ecute.

2) Forty years of private sector problem solving skills, common sense and wisdom.

3) Raising the standards for K-12 education in Colorado and to be the best in the Nation. Over-haul child welfare programs in Colorado to put the needs of the child first. Get rid of Intru-sive job killing regulations.

4) When I think of transporta-tion problems here in Colorado, my first thoughts are to com-pare E-470, a private owned and operated highway, and C-470, state owned and operated high-way. Both served the needs of transportation. The legislature should first investigate the pos-sibility of a private concern building out and operating the FasTracks system before auto-matically assuming the state can do a better job than the private sector.

5) By getting rid of intrusive job killing regulations and offering tax incentives to companies to expand and hire new employ-ees would be a good first start to promote creation in my dis-trict. We need to investigate the best practices in other states that have been successful in cre-ation of new jobs and see if it will work here in Colorado.

BETH HUMENIKParty: Republican Address: Friends of Beth Hu-menik, P.O.

1) Strong, effective, advocate.

2) As an educator, I see every day what really matters, the next generation of Colorado-ans. We need to make sure that children have the best education possible and that their parents can get good jobs so they can afford to send their kids to col-lege.

3) Focus will be on encouraging and seeing job creation initiated by businesses to help get folks back to work. Getting the eco-nomic structure turned around so we can get Colorado back on track.Will be working collab-oratively to make sure that our children are getting a world-class education.

4) The state legislature could send a strong message to ask ETD to find a way to get the system fully built out now, not in 2034 or be-yond, however, realistically there is not much else the legislature may be able to do.

5) We need to find avenues for existing businesses to expand and grow so that they can cre-ate new jobs. We must find ways to help Colorado become more business friendly so that we can attract companies that will pro-mote job creation. Current stat-utes that may be impeding business growth or that discour-age companies who would oth-erwise want to bring business to Colorado should be reviewed and amended.

JOSEPH A. SALAZARParty: DemocratAddress: 2318 E. 116th Avenue, Thornton, COBackground: With deep fam-ily roots in Colorado’s San Luis Valley, I was primarily raised in Thornton, attending Adams County District 12 schools. I graduated from CU undergrad and DU law school.Contact: 303-335-7939www.salazarforhd31.com

1) Collaborative, contemplative and decisive.

2) For nearly 18 years, I have protected Coloradans in my capacity as a state investigator and civil rights/constitutional law attorney. I have represented people of all political affiliations from the abuses of government. I testified as an expert witness on bipartisan bills designed to protect the constitutional rights of Coloradans and to protect people from predatory lenders. Also, I am a small business own-er. I understand the complexi-ties of starting a small business. Because of my skills, I am able to step into the Colorado legis-lature on day one and address complex issues.

3) Economy, education, trans-portation.

4) It is painfully obvious to peo-ple in the North Metro area that RTD has not been responsive to our commuter needs. I would advocate revisiting the powers and authorities afforded to the RTD board. I also would advo-cate for stronger legislative over-sight over the FasTracks expan-sion.

5) Keep Colorado taxpayer dol-lars in Colorado. If Colorado-owned businesses have the ca-pability to competently work on publicly funded projects, prefer-ence should be given to select these businesses for publicly funded projects. Also, we need to address how Colorado’s small businesses are taxed.

Northglenn-Thornton Sentinel 7October 18, 20127-ELECTION

Amendment to streamline personnel New rules would allowfor more fl exibility By Clarke Reader [email protected]

On November’s ballot voters will consider Amendment S, an issue that aims to mod-ernize the state’s personnel system.

The amendment would change rules in the state’s constitution concerning hiring and other details of the personnel system, which hasn’t been updated in more than 40

years, in an effort to make them more fl ex-ible.

Currently, the state assesses a job ap-plicant through standardized testing, but Amendment S would change things so that test scores aren’t the only thing taken into account when hiring someone.

The amendment also creates a veterans hiring preference to help returning soldiers fi nd a job in the civilian sector.

The amendment would also expand the sources of employment for the state.

For example, the constitution currently

allows for an agency to only have three fi nal-ists for a job, states that applicants must be residents of Colorado, and places a limit on temporary work to six months.

In response to these rules, Amendment S would allow for six fi nalists for a position, would allow job applicants to live within 30 miles of the state’s border, and would extend temporary work time to nine months.

The state’s governor would also receive more responsibility over the personnel sys-tem with the passage of Amendment S.

Governors would be able to exempt

around 325 positions that are currently mer-it positions under the existing rules, which would allow them to be politically appoint-ed. These positions include deputy directors and public information offi cers, among oth-ers.

On Wednesday, Sept. 12, Gov. John Hickenlooper and former governors Bill Rit-ter and Bill Owens came out in favor of the amendment and launched the “Yes on S” campaign.

This position gave Steve the experience working with private busi-ness, contractors and gov-ernment.

3) Jobs/economy, fully fund-ing education and transpor-tation improvements.

4) The legislature must work closely with the governor’s offi ce and RTD to make sure the entire passenger rail sys-tem is completed. Currently, the people of Northglenn, Thornton, Federal Heights and the entire north metro area are paying taxes to RTD and have little to show for it.

5) Completing the North Metro line through North-glenn and Thornton will bring jobs to our district, Ad-ams County and Colorado. The state of Colorado should provide business incentives for Colorado businesses who employee Colorado citizens.

1) Collaborative, creative, problem solver

2) I think my experience as an educational leader for 36 years and as a nonpartisan elected offi cial are a benefi t. As a nonpartisan politician I strive to fi nd the best solu-tion that is best for the peo-ple and solving issues that benefi t the people the most.

3) Continue to create more jobs and working opportu-nities for people. Make sure to provide affordable health care for all Coloradoans. En-sure we have suffi cient fund-ing for schools as well as in-frastructure.

4) I was on the RTD board when we approved Fas-Tracks and I supported the fact that we make sure it is done on schedule. I think legislature needs to follow through with that list of pri-orities. The RTD board of directors need the pressure put on them to uphold that promise. We need to hold their feet to the fi re on what they initially promised.

5) We have been successful in Brighton for the past 10 years in the energy industry and we need to continue that success. Keep a bal-anced approach and sup-port additional jobs in wind and solar energy. But we also need to fi nd a balance between additional jobs and the environment.

5) I’d like to see less govern-mental taxation and regula-tion of small businesses in an effort to encourage busi-nesses to relocate to Colo-rado and to Adams County. In order to encourage busi-nesses to locate in Colorado we must make it profi table for them to do so.

Happening in our backyardsThe horrific death of

Jessica Ridgeway here in Westminster brings this tragedy so close to home.

I tend to push aside such evil deeds when I hear or read about them. I assume that this could never happen to me or in my neighborhood.”

Her untimely death shows us how precious life is, and we never know what is around the corner in our lives.

When I heard the FBI profiler on the news pro-vide a description of the killer, it really caught my attention. When watch-ing “Criminal Minds” on TV I never dreamed that I would be hearing similar descriptions from a FBI profiler right here in our own community.

ProfessionalismAs I watched the press

conferences in front of the Westminster Public Safety Building, I hoped and prayed each time the spokesman would tell us that Jessica had been found and was unharmed. Unfortunately, our worst nightmare happened in-stead.

Throughout the search for Jessica, I was so im-pressed with the profes-sionalism of the Westmin-ster Police Department personnel.

Spokesman Trevor Ma-terasso was exceptional in his reports to the public. And Police Chief Lee Birk’s heartfelt expression in an-nouncing the identifica-tion of Jessica’s body was real, and you could see the pain he was experiencing.

Birk cares for his com-munity, and I believe him when he said that law en-forcement will track down the killer.

Legislation neededColorado is one of a

handful of states which does not have the death penalty for the rape of children who are 13 years old or younger.

Forty five states have enacted laws that impose the death penalty in such heinous crimes.

It is time for the Colo-rado State Legislature to take up this law again and pass it. Our Legislature considered such punish-ment in 2008, but it was

not enacted.We need all the tools

possible to dissuade per-verted conduct on our children and grandchil-dren.

Who to believeWho should the Ameri-

can public believe in the unfolding account of the murder of U.S. Ambassa-dor Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in Libya?

On the one hand, we learn via congressional hearings that the U.S. State Department ac-knowledged it had reject-ed appeals for more secu-rity at its diplomatic posts in Libya in the months before the fatal terrorist attack at our embassy in Benghazi.

On the other hand, Vice President Joe Biden stated emphatically in the vice presidential debate that “we weren’t told” that Americans on the ground wanted security bolstered. I have a hard time believ-ing that the president and vice president would not know of such a request given the volatile situation in Libya and the Middle East.

Plus, the administra-tion’s misfire statements on what triggered the at-tack on our embassy gives further pause as to the truthfulness and transpar-ency of the Obama Ad-ministration.

Initially, administration officials said the attack ap-

peared to be ignited by an anti-Islamic video.

Subsequently, they ac-knowledged the assault on the embassy was a pre-meditated terrorist attack.

It is a hard and costly lesson regarding the need to beef-up the security at our embassies.

And it is a troubling ex-ample of trying to spin in-formation to the American public when the adminis-tration would look bad with inadequate security in one of the world’s most dangerous areas.

Deeper and deeperThe headline provided

the grim facts — Federal Deficit tops $1 Trillion for Fourth Year. As a nation, we just keep piling up the debt.

It’s like a credit card without any spending lim-it! However, the piper has to be paid and it needs to start right away.

Our $16 trillion debt has compromised our fis-cal stability. And wait until interest rates start coming back up.

There will be more in-terest to pay along with the debt that has incurred over the past 12 years. It started with George Bush and then Barack Obama has escalated it. Two wars, a generous prescription plan, unsuccessful stimu-lus packages and Obam-acare have put our fed-eral government in a deep, deep fiscal hole.

We need leadership that will have the perse-verance to turn this trend around.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

OUR VIEW

Perlmutter for re-election

The frank and spirited debates between incum-bent congressman Ed Perlmutter and Republican challenger Joe Coors speak well for the 7th Congres-sional 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 performed well and should keep his place in Washington.

Perlmutter has the right idea for the Affordable 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 suggested 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 eliminating 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 com-promise 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 pendulum swings, we believe Perlmutter has the best perspec-tives on the needs of the region. He is quick to see things that need to be fixed, such as recently join-ing with other lawmakers to support 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 addition to contracted workers from which they buy more than $600 in goods and services in a year.

Coors has a strong backbone of beliefs, impres-sive 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.

How long have you worked in Real Estate?� irty years.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with?

I specialize in high-end custom homes. I’m currently the Marketing Director for Spruce Meadows where (nearly) every home is over a million dol-lars. � e High End buyer is not

the same as the � rst-time buyer. � ey expect somebody sea-soned and able to run with them and their unique needs and desires. I know how this business works and can use that knowledge to bene� t them.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?Keeping everyone calm and focused on the outcome they

want.

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working?I’m a coach for my kids’ sports and travel all around the country with them. � e whole

family goes, me, my wife – we take the kids to soccer, hockey, gymnastics, track and golf – we cruise around the country with our kids and we love it! � ey’re all very high-level competitive athletes. Personally, I’m a golfer.

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

Get real; move on with your life. When you decide to move, move! Be real as far as what the market is and pricing your home accordingly.

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

Your home is your home. It is a place you are happy to come home to. If it turns out to be a great investment, well that’s great but � rst and foremost, it’s your home. Choose a place you’ll enjoy.

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

Being trapped in the basement by two cats, clawing and hissing at me. � ey felt I should leave the home by way of

the window-well instead of the stairwell! � ey weren’t go-ing to let me out! � ere was about two feet of snow on the ground and I had taken my shoes o� , so a� er I climbed out of the window well, I walked through the snow without any shoes and le� !

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.

Adams 12 opposes Amendment 64School district added to a long list of organizations against measureBy Darin [email protected]

The Adams 12 Five Star School board has joined a long list of organi-zations that are taking a firm position against Amendment 64, a statewide ballot initiative to legalize recreational marijuana use.

A resolution, approved by the board during its Oct. 3 meeting, supports an Adams County Youth Initiative cam-paign against Amendment 64, the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act of 2012.

Among the reasons cited in the resolution to oppose Amendment 64 are Increased harm to the state’s edu-cation environment, threats to work-place safety programs, increased im-paired driving risks and conflicts with federal law.

School board members Robert Willsey, District 2, and Rico Figueroa, District 4, voted against the resolu-

tion. Figueroa said he would have sup-ported a resolution opposing the use of marijuana tax revenues for schools.

“I think it makes sense to say that, if we don’t want our kids using mari-juana, it makes sense for us to say that we also don’t want proceeds from that to come to education,” Figueroa said. “We should be focused on teaching our kids to use their critical thinking skills and make their own life choices. I don’t think it’s any better for them to not do it because they can’t get it — I want them to not do it, because they choose not to do it.”

The amendment, which will be considered by Coloradans on the No-vember general election ballot, would make Colorado one of the first states in the country to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes and enact a tax to benefit the state’s public school capital construction assistance fund. Voters in Oregon and Washington will be considering similar measures on Election Day.

Amendment 64 would amend the Colorado Constitution to include a

section in Article 18 that would legal-ize the growth, transport and sale of marijuana for recreational use; permit anyone 21 years old or older to pos-sess and consume up to one ounce of marijuana; and allow for the operation of marijuana retail stores, manufactur-ing facilities and testing facilities state-wide.

“It has got to be the most inappro-priate pot sweetener devised on an amendment,” said District 1 school board member Norman Jennings. “It just sends all the wrong messages. It’s just so odd that they would try to get more votes by trying to send money to education.”

Fellow school board member Mark D. Clark, District 5, agreed.

“Our kids already have so much go-ing on in their lives and there’s so many things that pulling them one way or another,” Clark said. “I just think that we need to make a stand, because it does affect our kids and our schools.”

Adams County Youth Initiative is a local, nonprofit organization created to address youth education issues.

‘It’s just so odd that they would try to get more votes by trying to send money to education.’

While displaying ghosts and goblins is great for the kids and the standard for Halloween decor, how about getting into the spirit but with a bit more sophis-tication this year? If you are throwing a Halloween party

for those adults who are kids at heart, a spooky holi-day theme can still be part of the festivities, but with a touch of panache.

� ere are many directions you can go with a decoration theme. Certainly there are

the colors of black and or-ange that can be integrated into the decor and the use of pumpkins or candles, which still scream Halloween but can be displayed elegantly.

Gary LaVasser, academic director in Set & Exhibit Design at � e Art Institute of California - Hollywood, a campus of Argosy Universi-ty, says that while everyone thinks of orange and black, consider the combination of dark red and black. At Halloween, any time black is used it represents scari-ness, and the dark red can be symbolic of blood.

“For a more sophisticated look, combine dark red ar-rangements of roses, cover them in black hat veiling

so that you see the roses through the veil and tie them together with black satin ribbon,” he suggested. “If you want to go a little fur-ther, place the arrangement on an inexpensive black placemat and drip dark red nail polish from a few rose petals onto the placemat. It will look like the roses are bleeding.”

LaVasser also has these tips for alternative but so-phisticated Halloween de-cor:• Use vintage Halloween

toys from the 1930s, 40s or 50s as part of the design. If they are worn they have more character. Combine them with garlands of silk fall leaves available at most

cra� stores, tree branches or wheat and place on mantels or dining tables.• Paint objects black that

normally are not this color. For example, jack-o-lan-terns are orange so spray them black for a twist on a familiar item. Also consider painting real � owers black. To make objects more inter-esting, select di� erent black textures such as using matte, glitter, satin, gloss or metal-lic paints.• � e colors of fall are rich

earth tones and these colors also associate with Hallow-een. Add a little “punch” by using a deep purple color. It can be an interesting con-trast to oranges and gold tones. Also consider using

metallic gold, copper and pewter colors. You can paint leaves or pumpkins with these shades as well.

LaVasser adds that one can look for inspiration among di� erent cultures and how they celebrate certain holidays or Hallow-een. A Latino tradition is Day of the Dead, observed on November 1st and 2nd, which celebrates family and friends who have passed. “Day of the Dead decor includes folk art, candles, colorful � owers and bright ribbons together with skel-etons,” says LaVasser. “� is theme o� ers great options for Halloween.”

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 li-quor and check out in an attached area of the store. The grocery and liquor sec-tions will share a common entrance, but liquor sales must be completed sepa-rately.

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 get-ting 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 Trader Joe’s stores are expected to open around the same time next year.

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.

No. 1 duo � nish third at state tournament Rosencrans twins beat Colum-bine in third-place match By Jonathan Maness [email protected]

DENVER - Friday morning spectators surrounded a center court at the Gates Tennis Center to watch Fairview and Leg-acy’s No. 1 doubles team square off.

While the two teams weren’t playing for a state title, there were murmurs in the crowd that this should have been the title match for No. 1 doubles. However, instead it was a semifi nals match and Fairview’s duo of Kevin Chen and Tommy Mason once again got the best of Legacy’s No. 1 duo of Dave and Mike Rosencrans, beating the twins 6-4, 6-7 and 7-5. Chen and Mason beat the Rosencrans earlier this year at the Front Range League tour-nament and Saturday they went on to win the state title - beating Cherry Creek 6-2, 6-4 in the fi nals.

The Rosencrans on the other hand topped Columbine’s duo of Calvin Buechler and Andy Leach 6-4, 6-2 on Sat-urday to get third at state. The two pre-vious years the duo lost in the opening round.

“We were ready to win,” Mike Rosen-crans said. “We really wanted it, especial-ly after losing in the Fairview.”

Legacy opened the tournament by de-feating Douglas County in straight sets, 6-1, 6-0. The duo, who are only juniors, have a good shot at winning a state title at No. 1 doubles next season if they stay together as a team.

“We are happy we made it this far,” Dave Rosencrans said. “It was our goal; this is a fun and good experience for us. We feel like we played well.”

Cherry Creek won the state title with 80 points, while Fairview was second with 64.

Mountain Range’s No. 3 doubles team of Alex Schwartz and Michael Serna lost in the opening round to Cherry Creek 6-2, 6-0, while the Mustangs’ No. 4 duo of Grady Egan and Jacob Taylor lost to Grand Junction in the fi rst round 6-3, 6-2.

Connor McPherson’s win over Fair-view’s Ignatius Castelino at No. 2 singles was a pivotal victory for Cherry Creek,

which entered the fi nal day of the tour-nament just six points ahead of Fairview in the race for the team title. The Bruins would win three out of the four head-to-head matchups against the Knights and that clinched the team’s 38th state cham-pionship in the last 41 years. The state championship also proved to be the 200th in Cherry Creek history.

“Honestly, the team title means more than the individual title,” McPherson said. “Before the fi nals we all talked about trying to win those matches against Fair-view because they were so close to us in points. We really wanted to bring home another state title to our school and I’m glad I was able to be a part of this team.”

Senior Will Ro won the No. 3 singles title, as he defeated Fairview’s Alec Led-don in straight sets 6-1, 6-4.

“It feels great, especially being a se-nior,” Ro said. Ro felt that his prior ex-perience at the state tournament was an advantage.

“I knew (Leddon) was a freshman,” Ro said. “Getting off to a quick start was big for me because I was able to just settle in and treat (the fi nal) like a regular match.”

The No. 2 doubles team of Connor Petrou and Jake Miller lost the fi rst set to Arapahoe, but rallied to win the next two to win the state title 5-7, 6-3, 6-4. Dan Kapriellian and Noah Reiss defeated Fair-view’s Ben Krahenbuhl and Nick Blanco in straight sets to win the N0. 3 doubles championship.

Gifford Mellick and Harshii Dwivedi also topped Fairview in the No. 4 doubles fi nal, bringing home the team’s fi fth indi-vidual title.

Norse outlast Thornton in East Metro shootoutLate score li�s Northglenn as teams combine for 119 pointsBy John [email protected]

THORNTON - Northglenn’s Scott Gallas has amassed more than 100 wins in his illustrious coaching career, but few were as memorable as the one his Norse picked up Friday night at Five Star Stadium.

Northglenn drove 77 yards in 43 seconds to score a touchdown with 35.3 seconds remaining to pull out an improbable 62-57 victory over rival Thornton on a cold and drizzly night in a contest that featured historic perfor-mances on both sides of the ball.

Maybe none more so than the effort put forth by Thornton running back Keynan Huguley in a losing cause. A 5-foot-8, 165-pound senior, Huguley rushed for 501 yards and six touch-downs on 45 carries. He also scored a 2-point conversion to give the Trojans a 57-56 lead with 1:23 remaining.

“He’s quite a player, he’s tough to bring down,” said Gallas about Hugu-ley. “He’s going places, he really is.”

Gallas also has a pretty impressive player in senior quarterback Jordan Radebaugh, who finished with more than 400 yards of total offense to lead the Norse (2-5 overall, 2-1 East Metro League). Radebaugh passed for 289 yards and four scores, and ran for an-other 102 and two more scores. He even caught a 10 yard touchdown pass.

He was never more impressive than on Northglenn’s final drive, calmly moving the Norse quickly downfield for the winning score. He hit Ken Heard for a 36 yard strike to set up Northglenn deep in Trojan territory, and then found Adam Adkins from 19 yards out for the final touchdown.

“There was a little bit of nervous-ness, but, in practice, we do that every day,” Radebaugh said about the final drive. “We practice going down the field with a little bit of time on the clock, so I was pretty confident.”

Gallas said he had faith that his team could come up with the game-winning drive.

“With a minute (23) seconds, our kids still executed and they had no doubt we could get it done,” said Gallas, who picked up his 100th career victory the week before against Prairie View.

“We do our 2-minute offense every day, so it wasn’t anything new to us. We said we just have to relax and execute our of-fense, and they did.”

With the team’s combining for more than 100 points and 1,000 yards of of-fense, there was plenty of big plays on the night and momentum shifts were monumental. Thornton (5-2, 1-2) looked like it was in control early, taking a 20-7 lead midway through the second quarter on Huguley’s third touchdown run of the night.

But Northglenn countered right back, getting a 96-yard return for a touchdown by Heard on the ensuing kick.

The Norse’s momentum was fleeting as well, as Thornton only needed two plays to go back up by two scores, get-ting a 48 yard touchdown run from Hu-guley for a 27-14 lead.

Northglenn would get two more touchdowns before the end of the sec-ond quarter to take a 28-27 halftime lead. And the Norse would increase that advantage on the second play from scrimmage of the second half when Reg-gie Buckalew picked off a Marcus Del Hierro pass and returned it 26 yards for a score and a 35-27 lead.

But Huguley would not let the Trojans go away. He added a 66 yard touchdown run five plays later, as the teams ex-changed scores for the remainder of the game to set up the final two minutes of action.

And Thornton, which was looking to beat Northglenn for the first time since 1995, looked like it had finally broken through when Del Hierro scored from 5 yards out to cut the deficit to 56-55 with 1:23 left.

Trojans coach Mike Marquez decided to go for 2, but the teams first attempt failed when Del Hierro’s pass to Bryan Weingerten was batted away. North-glenn was called for pass interference on the play, however, and Huguley leaped up and over the line for a successful con-version on their next attempt.

“That’s a tough loss to swallow,” Hu-guley said. “It was a good all-around game for both offenses. In the end they had more fight, and we ran out of time.”

Huguley’s historic (bittersweet) nightSenior rushes for 501 yards in losing e�ortBy John Rosaj r o s a @ o u rc o l o ra -donews.com

THORNTON - Kenyan Huguley stood at the fence surrounding the field at Five Star Stadium, receiving hugs from his family and friends that were equal parts congratula-tions and condolences.

Huguley had just delivered a perfor-mance for the ages, rushing for 501 yards and six touchdowns on 45 carries. It is be-lieved to the second-hightest total ever by a player in a 5A game, trailing only Leonard Jones of Montbello’s 584-yard effort in 1999.

But it was hard for Huguley to appreciate what he had accomplished because it came in a losing effort. Northglenn drove 77 yards in 43 seconds to score the winning points in a 62-57 thriller, spoiling the Trojans attempt to beat the Norse for the first time since 1995.

“Since I’ve been here we haven’t beat them,” said Huguley, who leads Class 5A in rushing with 1,498 yards. “This was my last year to try and go and get the ‘W’ but we came up just a little short.”

Still, the loss did little to diminish what Huguley did on the field. Displaying an in-credible burst of speed between the tackles and an elusiveness that would make D.B. Cooper jealous, Huguley gashed his way through the Northglenn defense for huge gains all contest long.

He had nine runs that went for more than 20 yards, and had back to back runs of more than 60 yards in the second half despite al-ready having carried the ball 20-plus times.

“He was amazing, he’s a really good run-ning back,” said Northglenn quarterback Jordan Radebaugh, who had more than 400 yards of total offense himself. “He’s really tough to stop. I don’t think we ever got to stop him.”

Huguley was putting up video game numbers - not Madden 13 numbers; these were old-school Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl totals - and every time one thought he might be done for the night, he’d come through with another great run.

Huguley was part of almost every sig-nificant offensive play the Trojans had, and scored what looked to be the winning points when he converted a 2-point attempt with 1:23 remaining.

But Northglenn found a way to come back and, of all the heartbreaking losses Thornton has suffered during its 17-year losing streak to the Norse, this may have been the hardest to take.

Huguley was quick to praise his oppo-nents, however.

“They played an amazing game,” Hugu-ley said. “Congratulations to Northglenn, they played a heck of a game.”

And, as he made his way off the turf, looking like a fighter that had just been in a 12-round heavyweight brawl, Huguley looked human for the first time last Friday night.

“I’m exhausted,” he said.

Legacy softball team out to defend state title Lightning top seed at state a� er sweeping regional games By Jonathan Maness [email protected]

BROOMFIELD - The Legacy softball team isn’t about to back down from a challenge and if Saturday’s regional tournament was an example of things to come, the Lightning are in good position to win their sixth consecutive state title.

Legacy (17-2-2 over-all) hosted the Region 1 tournament and swept both of Saturday’s games at Broomfi eld Industrial Park.

First topping Westmin-ster 12-0 and then beating ThunderRidge 11-5 in the second game.

Now comes the state tournament for the Light-ning, who are the top seed among the 16 teams and open the tournament on Friday against 16th-seed-ed Fountain-Fort Carson.

Legacy beat Brighton in the state title match last season, 4-1.

“We step it up for ev-erybody,” Legacy coach Dawn Gaffi n said. “We are going to face every team’s `A’ game. Our girls have to be ready to play every game and they know what is in store.”

That was the case Sat-urday afternoon when ThunderRidge came out

of an hour long weather delay to score four runs in the fi fth inning to cut the Lightning advantage to 6-5.

However, Legacy re-sponded with fi ve runs in the bottom of the fi fth to seal the victory.

Sophomore Haley Smith, who was playing in her fi rst game since being injured Sept. 22, got the win in both games. She struck out six and tossed three hitless innings to beat the Wolves.

She then struck out fi ve in fi ve innings to beat the Grizzlies.

“Haley’s a force to con-tend with when she’s on the mound,” Gaffi n said.

Paige Reichmuth and Celyn Whitt each hit two-run singles in the fi fth in-ning to help ignite Lega-cy’s offense.

Kylie Barnard was sharp in both games, going 2 for 3 with a pair of runs against Westminster and 2 for 4 with a triple and two RBIs against Thunder-Ridge.

Barnard tripled in the fourth inning to score two runs before the delay.

Dakota Ridge (19-2 overall) is the No. 2 seed in the tournament, the Eagles lost to Thunder-Ridge and Ralston Valley. Chatfi eld is the No. 3 seed and Loveland, which beat

Legacy earlier this year, is the No. 4 seed.

Fountain-Fort Carson (12-9) defeated Poudre and Castle View in the re-gion tournament to ad-vance for state.

Standley Lake quali-fi ed for the state tourna-ment as the 14th-seed. The Gators won both of their games on Satur-day, beating Denver East 4-3 and Grand Junction, which was the host team, 5-2. They lost the opening game to the Tigers, 10-5. They open the state tour-nament against Chatfi eld on Friday.

Rhiannon Parry earned the win in both games and had nine strike outs.

Horizon didn’t qual-ify for state; the Hawks beat Northglenn 19-4 but lost both their games to Grandview. Northglenn also lost to Dakota Ridge.

Westminster also didn’t qualify after losing to Leg-acy and Cherokee Trail on Saturday.

state’s.“Since the issue would be

an amendment to the state’s constitution, if there was a problem we wanted to fix, we couldn’t do it legislatively — we’d have to go back to

the constitution,” Chapin said, describing the third major issue. “We would have to go back and re-vote on any changes we’d want to make, and that’s a big struc-tural problem.”

The list of supporters who have rallied against the

amendment include Gov. John Hickenlooper, Speaker of the House Frank McNulty, the County Sheriffs of Colo-rado and most recently, the Colorado Education Associa-tion.

For Tvert, and other sup-porters of Amendment 64,

the prohibition on mari-juana has “utterly failed and caused far more harm than good” and so the time has come to look at a different approach to the issue.

“Amendment 64 would take marijuana out of the un-derground market, where it

is entirely uncontrolled, and put it in the legitimate mar-ket at licensed stores,” Tvert said.

“Right now teens are re-porting that it’s easier to buy marijuana than alcohol, and that in part is because mari-juana is not regulated like alcohol.”

Tvert also said there is no evidence that teen use would increase, if the amendment passed, since a study by the Centers for

Disease Control and Preven-tion found that marijuana use by high school students dropped in Colorado af-ter the 2009 regulations on medical marijuana went into effect.

Supporters also note that there is tax money to be made from marijuana legal-ization. All sales would be the subject of state and local sales taxes, and according to Tvert, the General Assem-bly would also need to en-act an excise tax of up to 15 percent on wholesale sales of nonmedical marijuana, of which the first $40 million would go to the state’s pub-lic school construction fund.

Supporters for the adop-tion of Amendment 64 in-clude former congressman Tom Tancredo, Doug K. Wil-son, Colorado State Public Defender, the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado, the National Latino Officers Association and Blacks in Law Enforcement of Amer-ica.
