Open space trails celebratedCity opens Metzger Farm open spaceBy Ashley [email protected]

Westminster and Broomfield residents braved the snow and cold on Saturday to check out the now open, Metzger Farm open space area.

Attendees enjoyed the celebration with hot cider and live music, while represen-tatives from both cities spoke about the importance of the project.

“Cities and counties by their nature are competitive, we depend upon sales tax property tax to live and to have this area become open space without any tax asso-ciated, is truly unique,” said Broomfield mayor Pat Quinn. “I doubt there are many projects like this across the county. This could be a Walmart or another store, but it’s not, it’s open space.”

In 2005, the city of Westminster and the city and county of Broomfield formed a foundation for the acquisition, financ-ing, management and maintenance of Metzger Farm, which is nestled between both communities at 120th Avenue and Lowell Boulevard.

The foundation purchased the farm in 2006 using funds from three grants totaling more than $1.8 million from Ad-ams County and a grant of $500,000 from Great Outdoors Colorado. The farm was purchased in 1943 by

John Metzger and was used for cattle grazing.

The farmstead includes the family home and nine buildings, which are still intact and represent a model farm in the mid-20th century.

The two main ponds on the property were originally used for irrigation, stock watering and firefighting.

Now after months of renovating, the

area includes a parking lot, two miles of trails, a 70-foot steel bridge that connects to the Big Dry Creek Trail system, a pic-nic pavilion, fishing dock, wildlife viewing deck, fencing and signage.

Quinn said stabilization construction will continue on the house and the build-ings and the project will be completed in full by summer 2013.

Westminster Mayor Nancy McNally is thrilled with the opening of the Metzger Farm to the public.

She said it will benefit both commu-nities and also preserves an important piece of local history.

During the opening celebration, Bill Metzger and Karen Keithley, son and daughter of John Metzger, spoke about their time on the farm growing up. Both agreed their father would have been pleased and proud with the farm being used as open space for the community.

“Over the years I would come and check on this place from time to time and it seemed like we were kind of stuck, but what was happening was the planning wheels were turning,” Keithley said. “And now it is truly a magnificent place. We are so proud and grateful for everyone in both cities. Everyone has been tremendous.”

Charity drive helps families during tough timesBy Ashley [email protected]

For 21 years the Westminster Fire Department has stepped up to provide toys, clothing and food to those in need in the city through their annual holiday charity drive.

The effort has made a huge dif-ference in the lives of hundreds of residents during a time when families need it most.

“The need always goes up dur-ing the winter months and around the holidays,” said Lynda Nobbe, coordinator of the Westminster FISH food bank. “People lose their summer seasonal jobs or their construction jobs. Last month we helped 528 families, and that number could go up next month.”

The Westminster FISH food bank is one of three beneficiaries of the charity drive. The Have-A-Heart Project, a local non-profit organization that provides food and clothing to Adams County

residents and the Jeffco Foster Care program are the other two.

Lt. Bruce Black, coordinator

of the charity drive, said all per-ishable food items go to the food bank, and the new and gently

used toys and clothing go to the other two organizations.

Although all items donated are appreciated, new clothing and toys are preferred, he added.

“We will take anything, but when it comes to the toys we would really like new toys,” Black said. “I don’t know a kid who would want a used stuffed animal. Kids want new toys and for some, this may end up being the only toys they get for Christmas.”

Debbie Smith, president of Have-A-Heart Project, said she looks forward to the charity drive every year because anything free is great.

Through the project, she tries to provide a new or used toy to every child who’s family qualifies for the Have-A-Heart services and this year she said will probably give out at least 500-600 toys.

“We give the kids good clothes and warm coats, but all they really care about is the toys,” she said. “So this charity drive helps us get them their toys so their dreams

aren’t crushed at Christmas.”This year’s charity drive is Nov.

19 through Dec. 14. Donations of perishable foods

and new and gently used clothing and toys can be dropped off at any city facility in the big green bins.

Firefighters will collect the items and distribute them to the local charities.

Nobbe said she hopes the com-munity participates because the families the charity drive helps, are truly appreciative.

“We have the nicest and ap-preciate clients in Colorado,” she said. “They are so happy with what they get, even during the times when we are low on food.”

For more information on the charity drive, call 303-658-4500.

First time at polls is vote of confidence As Sianna Elmanouzi sat at the kitchen

table in early October marking her pick for president on her mail-in ballot, her mind rewound to fi fth grade, when her teacher conducted a class poll on who students would vote for if they could.

And then she fast-forwarded. “Wow,” she thought. “I’m 18 years old and I’m voting. This is so cool.”

Jake Price, 20, walked into a voting booth on the University of Colorado campus on Halloween to make his choice. The feeling that followed took him a bit by surprise.

“To fi nally vote was very empowering,” he said. And regardless of who was voting for whom, “you could kind of feel this unity that we were all there expressing our Ameri-can rights. That was pretty cool.”

Unquestionably cool.The fi rst time I voted, in 1980, I was

20, a junior in college and Ronald Reagan trounced Jimmy Carter in a historic land-slide. Back then, voting booths had curtains to ensure privacy, and I remember the excitement, the goosebumpy-feeling that my vote gave me an infl uential seat at the country’s table.

Since then, I’ve cast my ballot for presi-dent eight more times. Incredible, really, when you think about it, that we live in a country in which the four-year cycle of popular elections has continued uninter-rupted and unchallenged since just after the 1788 ratifi cation of the U.S. Constitution.

The privilege is profound.And there’s nothing quite like exercising

it for the fi rst time.“You really feel the power that your vote

has — your voice,“ said Chrissy Faessen of Rock the Vote, the national organization that spearheaded efforts to register voters between 18 and 29 years old.

Sianna, who is studying political science at CU, and Jake, a fi nance major, agree. So do Kyle Tosch, 19, an environmental and civil engineering student at Colorado State University, Chace Griffi n, 20, a business fi nance major at CSU, and Grace Shea, 19,

a history and secondary education major at CU.

“It’s exciting to feel that you actually mat-tered,” Kyle said.

Kyle and his peers are part of the much-touted 46 million-strong youth vote that helped shaped this election’s outcome — 19 percent of all votes came from the 18- to 29-year-old sector, 1 percent more than in 2008. They favored Obama by 60 percent to 36 percent and swing states such as Florida, Ohio and Virginia were won by voters under the age of 30, Rock the Vote numbers show.

Faessen wasn’t surprised. The organiza-tion’s 25-city national bus tour found energy and enthusiasm on college campuses, she said, and an understanding of what was at stake — students’ potential livelihood.

A sense of urgency permeated the decision-making process.

Sianna and Grace became involved in campaigns — Sianna with Romney’s, Grace with Obama’s. They manned phone lines, sent out mailings, canvassed neighbor-hoods. Along with Chace, Kyle and Jake, they watched the debates and conducted their own independent research, searching for information free from bias.

“We wanted to make sure we were all educated and not just voting the way our parents voted,” Kyle said.

The issues of paying for college educa-tion, health care, the economy and jobs weighed heavily.

“It’s scary to think if one candidate leads us down the wrong road how impactful that will be,” Jake said. “Not only for me, but I

think about having children some day and what the economy is going to be then and what the overall cultural environment will be.”

Grace has watched her mother, who dealt with health care issues when she was diagnosed with breast cancer several years ago, also struggle fi nancially. “Depending on which direction you go,” she said, “life could be really different for some of us.”

They all believe their votes, regardless of whom they supported, made a difference.

“We are the ones who are going to be dealing with the consequences,” Grace said. “We need to have our voices heard.”

“It’s a domino effect,” Chace said. “My single vote may not matter, but if I don’t vote, that may infl uence others to not vote and, in the grand scheme of things, a group not voting will defi nitely have an impact.”

On election night, Kyle and Chace sat in their living room, doing homework and switching between the Nuggets game and election returns on TV. Grace nervously watched CNN in her sorority house. Jake dejectedly listened to a scratchy car radio broadcast returning from a church meeting.

And, depending on where she was, Si-anna followed results on TV, her laptop and her phone. Wearing a 2012 Romney T-shirt, she didn’t realize Obama had won until she walked into her dorm lobby, crowded with cheering students.

“I felt defeated,” she said. “With so many fi scal issues at stake, I thought Romney was the better candidate.”

Grace and Kyle were elated.“I had a great sense of pride that our

voices … were heard and made a difference in this election,” Grace said.

Regardless of which candidate they sup-ported, all fi ve students say this fi rst elec-tion experience inspired confi dence in their nation and fueled a sense of patriotic pride and civic duty.

“Feeling as though you have a voice in the say of your country is a rather rare com-modity in this world,” Jake said.

Research shows casting a ballot as a young voter makes one more likely to be-come a lifelong voter.

As Faessen said: “It’s not just about vot-ing every four years for the president of the United States. It’s really about your contin-ued participation and infl uence on shaping your country’s democracy.”

These young voices make it clear our democracy is in excellent hands.

And that is unquestionably cool.

Taking to the ballroom fl oor Mom competes in dancing fundraiser By Ashley Reimers [email protected]

Sarah Sears is taking her “silly bathroom dancing,” as she calls it, to the ball-room fl oor as she competes in the Dancing with the DLS Stars, a fundraiser for Den-ver Language School.

The Westminster mom and parent of a student at DLS, has been training with AJ Morris, a dance teacher at Fred Astaire Dance Stu-dio in Westminster, learning a Waltz routine.

The couple will go up against 11 other couples in a competition setting just like the popular television show, “Dancing with the Stars.”

“I have always loved to dance and this was such a fantastic opportunity to do something for the school while doing something I love,” Sears said. “This is my perfect fundraiser.”

Along with learning a dance, Sears and the other dancers have committed to

raising $1,000 each for the school.

The competition will be Nov. 17 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Denver and each couple will be judged by a panel of local celebrities.

“We have come up with a great way to help ensure the school’s success by raising money that will be directly felt in the classroom,” said Karen Prinz Klein, coordi-nator and the master be-hind the event. “The money we raised last year was used to hire a music teacher for the 2012-2013 academic school year.”

As the competition date draws nears, Sears is feeling the pressure. But according to her partner Morris, she has nothing to worry about.

“The hardest part for me is getting Sarah out of her shell,” he said. “But once she’s comfortable dancing in front of other people, it will all look great. She has great lines and a ballet background, which makes her perfect for the waltz.”

The Denver Language School is a Denver Pub-lic Schools charter school for kindergarten through fourth grade, adding a grade

a year up to 8th grade, that provides a full-immersion education in one of two lan-guages, Spanish or Manda-rin.

For more information on the school or the fundraiser, visit www.applytodls.org.

Foundation apologizes to Ridgeway family

By Ashley Reimers [email protected]

Representatives from Colorado’s Miss-ing Children Foundation have apologized to the Jessica Ridgeway family for the use of Jessica’s name after receiving a cease and desist letter from the Rocky Mountain Vic-tim Law Center.

President of the Colorado’s Missing Chil-dren Foundation, Kimberly Bowman, made the apology during a press conference on Nov. 9.

“First and foremost, I would like to thank the Ridgeway family for all of their support and we apologize for the mistake,” she said. “It was never our intention to add to the grief of the Ridgeway family or the commu-nity.”

According to the letter from Kelly Dixon, legal director for the Rocky Mountain Vic-tim Law Center, Bowman and Joshua Siko-ra, executive director of operations for the foundation, were using the name of Jessica Ridgeway as a fundraising tool for their or-ganization on their website and Facebook

page. The letter also states that the Ridgeway

family repeatedly asked Bowman and Siko-ra to stop using Jessica’s name as a fundrais-ing tool, but after failed attempts to address the issue, both Bowman and Sikora did not respect the family’s wishes and continued to make money off of Jessica’s name.

“On behalf of Jessica and her family, you are hereby to immediately cease and desist the posting of Jessica’s name or likeness on your website, Facebook pages, or in any advertisements for your organization or its fundraisers,” Dixon said in the letter. “Also immediately remove any and all references to Jessica from all of the above mentioned mediums.

The mission of the Colorado’s Missing Children Foundation is to assist families and communities with missing children and abductions. During the press confer-ence, Bowman said she hopes to continue working with the community and families to help bring missing children home.

She also gave credit to the community for their assistance in locating missing chil-dren.

Our team of professional reporters, photographers and Westview students honor veterans through music By Ashley Reimers [email protected]

Wendi Coop, music teacher at Westview Elementary School in Northglenn, always dreamed of creat-ing a Veteran’s Day production.

After months of planning and prac-ticing, her dream came true.

Student in the school participated in a musical performance Nov. 7 hon-oring veterans and current members of the military.

Students sang patriotic songs like “America the Beautiful” and “Let Free-dom Ring” and read poems describing why freedom is important.

And at the end of the performance, each veteran in the audience was giv-en a certifi cate of thanks.

“I’m speechless. It was more than I imagined it to be,” Coop said. “I’ve been teaching for 15 years and this has always been a dream of mine. It took a lot of work and planning but it was

worth it.”One of the songs performed by

fi fth-graders was written by Coop. It is called “You Held Freedom in Your Hands” and was inspired by a photo of a soldier holding another wounded soldier.

Coop, who is modest about the song, said she is thankful for every-thing veterans and current service men and women have done to ensure the nation is free.

“This song it what it’s about,” she said. “It’s sacrifi ce and people giving their lives for our freedom.”

Gabriela Milan, a fi fth-grade stu-dent, said she’s learned a lot about freedom from the program.

“I learned that freedom means that we get to vote when are 18 and that veterans are serving their lives for us,”

she said.Principal Jennifer Buck said she

hopes students really understand the sacrifi ces made by the service men and women every day and what it means to work for country. She was thrilled with the amount of people who attended and is looking forward to next year’s program.

Man suspected of threats against ObamaKusick also suspected of intent to harm students By Ashley Reimers [email protected]

A Westminster man is in federal custody after allegedly threatening to kill the presi-dent and children at Standley Lake High School.

A criminal complaint was fi led Nov. 9 in Jefferson County court by Melissa Blake, special agent with the U.S. Secret Service, against 20-year-old Mitchell Kusick.

In the complaint, it states that Kusick knowingly and willfully made a threat to take the life of and infl ict bodily harm upon the president of the United States. The complaint also states that Kusick stole a gun from his aunt and uncle’s house and planned to kill children on Halloween at

Standley Lake High School in hopes to draw police offi cers into a gun fi ght.

Court documents also revealed that Ku-sick said he was obsessed with the Colum-bine shootings, Virginia Tech shooting and the Jessica Ridgeway abduction and had been having homicidal fantasies on a daily basis for fi ve to six years.

He told his therapist he had been trying to keep track of President Barack Obama’s visits to the Denver metro area because he wanted to attempt to assassinate him and he wanted to go down in history as the “guy who killed Obama.”

According to the complaint, Kusick said that he had trained on how to shoot an as-sault rifl e at a fi ring range in Grand Junc-tion, where he was a student at Mesa State.

He said that he previously owned a .22 cali-ber rifl e and an assault rifl e.

Kusick admitted his plans to kill the president and shoot children on Hallow-een to police while in the hospital on men-tal hold.

The paperwork says he is charged with “interference for threatening to shoot chil-dren in Jeffco Schools.”

On Nov. 9, the Jefferson County School District fi led a restraining order against Kusick. The district followed with a state-ment on Nov. 12 in regards to Kusick:

“Working with law enforcement, Jeffco Schools learned of a man who was alleg-edly threatening students at Standley Lake High School’s Trick or Treat Street event. Police acted quickly to take the man into custody before the event. At no time were children attending the event in any danger from the suspect because he was already

in police custody. We appreciate the swift response from law enforcement and Jef-fco district security which helped keep our students safe.”

6 Westminster Window November 15, 20126OPINION

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

A year of yes for voters of the northThe day after the election one enthu-

siastic voter exclaimed voters in the Jef-ferson and Adams counties regions said yes to everything.

Well not everything.But voters in the two counties did

say yes to legalizing recreational use of marijuana in Amendment 64 and yes to Amendment 65, which urges support for a federal amendment to back limiting campaign contributions and spending. Further, Jefferson County voters said yes to a property tax increase for Jeffco school district for ballot questions 3A and 3B. And in Adams County, voters said yes to increasing the number of commis-sioners from three to five beginning in 2014.

Although we endorsed 3A and 3B we didn’t expect it to pass by such a strong margin nearing 60 percent for 3A. We noted in our endorsement that Jeffco

Schools did its best to tighten its belt and plan ahead starting about five years ago, so we give them credit for its efforts and credit again for passing the ballot ques-tions.

Question 3A will bring $39 million per year to help the district keep down class sizes and other efforts and although 3B wasn’t the most handsome bond because it didn’t promise a new building or spe-cific centerpiece improvement — it will update and renovate schools.

So now we ask the district to do a good job in return of sharing with voters where the funds will go through the next few

years.As for Ballot Question 1A to add two

commissioners, we thought Adams County, which is known to balk at tax increases — such as in the early Scientific and Cultural Facilities District tax pro-posal and some RTD measures — would say forget about it.

Apparently the black eye that the Quality Paving incident left was enough for many people to say five heads are bet-ter than three.

Here, too, we urge the benefactor — the county — to give the voters the most bang for the buck. After the board goes to five members, we want to hear about how the commissioners are increasing connectivity, ethical oversight and effort to the good of the county.

The logic and potential revenue from tax for Amendment 64 may have been enough for voters to back recreational

use of marijuana. With the medical marijuana centers

already anchored in Colorado, it just didn’t seem like a stretch to go this direc-tion and not wait for other states to try it out first.

We hope the costs, lawmaking and legal issues don’t make the state regret its decision.

We appreciated Gov. John Hicken-looper’s comment that federal law still says marijuana is an illegal drug so “don’t break out the Cheetos or Goldfish too quickly.” We are not about to celebrate anything about this yet.

We appreciate that voters made tough choices on Election Day.

We especially appreciated the yeses to Jeffco Schools. Sometimes when money is tight and the chips are down people nonetheless just dig deeper into their pockets.

A year of yes for voters of the north use of marijuana.

With the medical marijuana centers already anchored in Colorado, it just didn’t seem like a stretch to go this direc-tion and not wait for other states to try it out first.

We hope the costs, lawmaking and legal issues don’t make the state regret its decision.

We appreciated Gov. John Hicken-looper’s comment that federal law still says marijuana is an illegal drug so “don’t break out the Cheetos or Goldfish too quickly.” We are not about to celebrate anything about this yet.

We appreciate that voters made tough choices on Election Day.

We especially appreciated the yeses to Jeffco Schools. Sometimes when money is tight and the chips are down people nonetheless just dig deeper into their pockets.

Election: I told you so! Last March in one of my columns,

I predicted that President Barack Obama would be re-elected. I think I gave myself some wiggle room by also stating he may lose the popular vote but win the Electoral College vote – necessary to win the election.

It’s been a long, hard tumultuous road to get Barack elected but I think it turned out just fi ne.

Now I know many of you do not feel that way. You thought Mitt Rom-ney was the better candidate. I feel for you. I know I would have been very disappointed if my candidate had lost.

But let’s all remember that we are fi rst and foremost citizens of our great country and give President Obama the respect he deserves.

Time to switch gearsNow it’s time to focus on the com-

ing months, months of celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas and soon after a brand new year to deal with.

It’s certainly been a year of ups and downs but let’s focus on the good

times and minimize the downs.

Age is a factorMy sister and her husband are

both 88 years old, and time is stealing away some precious time, and they need more assistance.

They are giving up their lovely two-story home in Columbus, Ohio, and going into assisted living. I know my sister is heartsick over their decision, but it is necessary since all the four bedrooms are upstairs as is the full bath.

There’s not much to say because I know how it would be if and when we, too, have to make that move.

We also fi nd ourselves hiring out more and more chores. Just changing

light bulbs seems to be a big bother. Fortunately our children are all very good about helping, but they have their own home to care for.

Getting old is a real pain and I sure can’t see any gold in the golden years. Meanwhile let’s think positive! As my 76-year-old baby sister says, “enjoy the good times, the bad times will fi nd you.”

Quote of the Week“The person who says, “that’s the

way the ball bounces” is usually the one who dropped it.” Main Street Memories

P.S. A very Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned.

Ex-gridder didn’t fritter

There are plenty of stories about for-mer Broncos who lived the high life only to crash and burn post their NFL career.

But former wide receiver Rod Smith has avoided slipping into the “fortune, fame then falling flat on his face” cycle. His story is told as part of an Oct. 31 Forbes story headlined, “Not broke: How NFL players stay financially stable after the game ends.” To read the whole story, go to forbes.com and enter “NFL” in the search field.

Smith recounts being 10 years old and watching an episode of “Where Are They Now?” on HBO.

“There was a guy on the show who played in the NFL and then became homeless. When I saw that, I thought, `When I get into the NFL, there is no way I’m going broke,’” Smith told Forbes.

Forbes also cited a 2009 Sports Illus-trated report that said within two years of retiring, 78 percent of NFL players face financial stress.

Smith hung onto his frugality through-out his 14-year NFL career in part because he joined the pros as an un-drafted player in 1994. At his alma mater, Missouri Southern State University, he completed three degrees in business, economics and finance, and marketing and management, the story said.

“I didn’t get drafted, so that helped me build financial stability,” Smith told Forbes. “I had a chance to be in the NFL, but not a chance to be in the NFL life-style, because I didn’t have the income for it.”

On the Broncos practice squad mak-ing $60,000 a year, Smith didn’t attempt to keep up with the financial luxuries of other players in the locker room.

Now in retirement, Smith has kept up a practice he started in the Broncos locker room under the leadership of former head coach Mike Shanahan of mentoring younger players about financial respon-sibility.

“I appreciate Shanahan because he let me teach a financial class to the rook-ies,” Smith said in the story. “Nobody was teaching me these principles. I learned them from watching people.”

Il Mondo Vecchio bids arrivederciIl Mondo Vecchio, the much-lauded

Denver salumi producer, will shut its doors on Nov. 30 due to increased regula-tory requirements and pressures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The production facility at 1174 S. Cherokee St. famously produced salami, pepperoni, bresaola and other cured meats along with fresh sausages for local restaurants and markets, as well as for eateries in out-of-state cities including San Francisco, Seattle and Houston.

Mark DeNittis and business partner Gennaro DeSantis have owned and oper-ated Il Mondo Vecchio under the local USDA watchdog for three years. When a representative from the national USDA went on an inspection, the salumeria was put under more fierce scrutiny.

“Il Mondo Vecchio has had three solid years of uninterrupted business growth and has never had one instance of food safety violation, issue or complaint,” DeNittis said in a written statement. “In August, the USDA imposed additional requirements on Il Mondo Vecchio’s pro-duction methods.

New talent On the EdgeFour playwrights get chance to shine in theater’s season finaleBy Clarke [email protected]

The Edge Theater will sound its reputa-tion of pushing boundaries with the works of four local playwrights in the final perfor-mance of the season.

“On the Edge: A Festival of New Plays” be-gan on Nov. 9 and will run through Dec. 2 at the theater, 9797 W. Colfax Ave., and features a new play every weekend.

Tickets are $10 per show. “Crasher/Host-ess” by Ellen K. Graham kicked off the festi-val and ran Nov. 9-11.

“In our second season we really wanted to make a commitment to new works. We’re giving local playwrights an opportunity to get their work produced, which is hard to do,” said Rick Yaconis, executive and artistic director of The Edge. “For these shows, the stars are the writers, not the actors or direc-tors.”

The writers of the four plays were chosen from the theater’s On Your Feet workshop,

which gives playwrights a chance to refine their work with other writers. Yaconis said the theater received a lot of scripts when they put out the call about the festival, and honed the numbers down from the top 40 to the top 20 and finally, the top four.

“Room No. 12” by Haley Johnson — Nov. 16-18Johnson has acted in two of the Edge’s

previous productions, and while she said she tends to watch a lot of comedy, when it comes to her writing, she focuses on the dramatic. Her play focuses on a women and a girl who go through a horrific experience together and how their relationship changes based on what they’ve gone through.

“It’s a story some people may love, some may hate, but you won’t be able to walk away indifferent,” she said.

Johnson is an actor primarily, and said that most of her writing has been in more of a short story format, which is how “Room No. 12” started. She said she has enjoyed the process in taking it to a play format.

“I wrote it with the lead as someone I could see playing the role of,” she said. “But it’s been really fun seeing other people breath life into it by doing things I’d never thought of before.”

“Gifted” by Carrie Printz — Nov. 23-25Printz has always had an interest in multi-

ethnic stories, especially since they have be-come more common in American society, and decided to tackle the subject in “Gifted.”

“The play is about the family of a 15-year-old boy. His father is Indian and his mother is Caucasian, and he’s going through a bit of an identity crisis about his culture,” she said. “At the same time, he is very, very smart, and has an opportunity to go on a game show to show it.”

Printz is a journalist for a medical pub-lication, and became interesting in writing plays about four years ago, so she started taking classes.

“I’ve never seen the whole play acted out before, and there’s really nothing quite like it,” she said. “I’m excited to see it come to life.”

“Straight Sitting” by Melanie Tem — Nov. 30-Dec. 2

Tem’s play is inspired by actual events that happened in Evergreen, when a child was killed during a “re-birthing” therapy session, and asks the audience to examine some serious questions.

“It’s not the story of what happened in Ev-ergreen, but it was inspired by it,” she said. “The therapists are trying to help, and it’s an extremely complex situation I want people to think about.”

Tem is a social worker, but said she has al-ways had a second career as a writer, and has had other stories published before.

“I really enjoy the fluid and collaborative nature of plays,” she said. “The number of places where you can get a production like this are pretty small, so Rick and The Edge are taking a bit of a gamble.”

Audiences who attend all four shows will have the chance to vote for which play de-serves a full production in the 2013 season.

There will also be a panel of seven judges, including Yaconis and his wife, a local the-ater critic and two representatives from the Colorado Theater Guild, deciding on which play wins the top prize.

After two months of sharing information and collaboration back and forth between Il Mondo Vecchio and the USDA as well as various attempts to modify the production methods, Il Mondo Vecchio has determined that the impact of the regulatory requirements on dry cured sausage products was det-rimental to the quality of the product and therefore, (we) are forced to close the doors.”

DeNittis said that his company and the USDA came to an impasse. “(We) could either change (our) methods to a process that has been validated by the USDA such as fermenting (cooking the product) or adding nitrites, nitrates, acids or copious amounts of salt, all resulting in what IMV believes to be an inferior product or stop production.”

They chose the latter. The public is still invited to attend the weekly Friday afternoon Loading Dock Friday product sales until the end of this month.

Wiley WeilRockmount Ranch Wear

owner Steve Weil never met a celebrity he didn’t like, especially if they buy and wear his shirts in concert.

So recently when rock icons Bob Dylan and Mark Knopfl er were on tour for two shows in Denver, Knopfl er and the band stopped and shopped at Rockmount in LoDo.

The bass player wore his Rockmount denim shirt (No. 640-DT, Weil tells me) at the show.

“This is one perk at Rockmount, not knowing who is going to drop by unexpectedly,” Weil said.

Dylan has been to Rockmount and has many shirts, including the one he wore when he received

the Medal of Honor from President Obama earlier this year.

I have been a full time real estate broker since 1996.

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

I o� er a wide range of specialty areas to meet virtually all of residential estate needs. My main focuses are as Buyer’s Agent, Seller’s Agent, Short Sale specialist, REO certi� ed, new construction and multifamily properties.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?Buying and selling real estate can be very stressful for the

participants and I pride myself in being patient and under-standing to ease the process. I also am extremely knowl-edgeable to assure a smooth and successful close. I advise on home staging so I bring useful knowledge to that area of selling.

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working?I enjoy many activities such as swimming, hiking, trying

new restaurants and restful overnight stays in mountain towns.

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

Listen carefully to your agent to get educated about the price and condition of the other homes for sale in your area. � e buyers that see your home will see other similarly priced homes close to yours too so we have to make sure that your home stands out as the best.

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

In this extremely competitive market, there is a lack of inventory so buyers must spend a considerable amount of time looking at homes to � nd the perfect house and be ready to contract immediately when that property becomes

available.

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

Walking into a bank owned home and seeing the chalk out-line of a body was the strangest thing I have seen in real estate!

NORTH METRO TRAFFIC NEWS IN A HURRY Construction to close eastbound US 36 off-ramp

The Colorado Department of Transportation will close the east-bound US 36 offramp to Wadsworth Parkway starting at 7 p.m. Friday, through 5:30 a.m. Monday, weather permitting.

The closure is necessary for pav-ing a portion of the new permanent ramp, a key component of rebuild-ing the Wadsworth Parkway Bridge and interchange by September 2013.

The interchange improvements, part of the US 36 Express Lanes Project, include: new bridge struc-ture, improved bicycle/pedestrian sidewalks, new traffic signals, new roadway pavement and new north-

bound Wadsworth to westbound US 36 loop, which will allow for a free traffic movement without a signal.

All US 36 eastbound traffic need-ing to access this exit ramp during construction will be detoured to Church Ranch Boulevard. Addition-ally, alternate routes will be marked for local traffic at the Interlocken exit.

The $312 million multimodal project will build an express lane in each direction on US 36 from Federal Boulevard to 88th Street in Louisville/Superior.

The lanes will accommodate High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV), Bus Rapid Transit and tolled Single Occupancy Vehicles.

In addition, the project will replace several bridges, build a commuter bikeway, add Bus Rapid Transit improvements, and install Intelligent Transportation Systems for tolling, transit and traveler infor-mation, and incident management. Ames/Granite Joint Venture team is the design-build contractor for the project, which began in the summer 2012 and will be open to the public in January 2015.

For more information about the project, visit www.us36expresslanes.com or the mobile website at m.us36expresslanes.com.

Originally from Detroit, she was a 1979 graduate of the National University of Health Sciences in Lom-bard, Illinois, moving to Golden in 1980.

She served that com-munity for over 30 years in the practice of chiropractic and nutritional medicine, enthusiastically embracing the importance of treating body, mind and spirit.

She enjoyed living and working in Golden and es-pecially loved taking walks along Clear Creek by the library and Lions Park. She raised her two daughters in Golden and always appre-ciated how fortunate she was to live in such a beauti-ful community.

She is survived by her husband, Greg Steuck, daughters Melissa Martin (Matt) Raia and Diana Mar-tin, and grandson Martin Raia. Also siblings Sheila, Mark and Neil Stephenson of Michigan, and many nieces and nephews.

It’s an all-Jeffco 5A quarterfi nal as Pomona looks to gain a measure of revenge against cross-town rival Ralston Valley. It won’t be easy as the Mustangs, who beat the Panthers 30-22 on Oct. 12, have arguably been the hottest team in the state since falling to top-seeded ThunderRidge in the third game of the year. Get to the NAAC early – this should be a great one.

Pomona puts down reigning champs Opportunistic Panthers oust Columbine from playoff s By Daniel Williams [email protected]

ARVADA - A wise man once said: “To be the best you have to beat the best. WOOOOH!”

That wise man is wrestling icon Ric Flair, but nonetheless the words speak true.

And part of Pomona’s journey towards winning a 5A state football championship was going through reigning state cham-pion and 10th-seeded Columbine 42-22 Saturday at North Area Athletic Complex.

No. 7 Pomona (9-2, 4-1) turned three Columbine (7-4, 3-2) turnovers into 22

points and their defense held the Reb-els’ star running back Bernard McDondle to under 100 yards. Offensively the Pan-thers were hitting on all cylinders as se-nior quarterback Alec Feland threw three touchdowns and junior running back Konner Burns added three more.

“You have to beat the state champs in order to be the state champs,” Pomona coach Jay Madden said, paraphrasing the Nature Boy. “We kept them off balance, our defense played great and we are hap-py to move on and face a team we know pretty well.”

Pomona will now face league rival and 5A No. 2 seed Ralston Valley Friday at 7 p.m. at NAAC.

“They are a good team but we feel like we are the only ones who can beat our-selves,” Pomona junior Chris Marquez said. “If we don’t turn the ball over and if we come out and play our game no one can beat us.”

Feland hooked up with senior receiver Mitch Colin for a 42-yard touchdown ear-ly in the first quarter for the game’s first score.

Columbine would answer, going 55 yards in 14 plays to tie the game 7-7, but it

would get ugly from there.Pomona would force two second quar-

ter fumbles which they turned into two touchdowns, taking a 29-7 lead into half-time.

Burns would add a pair of fourth quar-ter touchdowns, finishing his day with 79 yards on nine carries.

“We do it as a team and that is the only way we know how to do it. We all feed off each other, the offense feeds off the de-fense and when the defense steps up we go out on offense and try to reward them,” Burns said.

Pomona will now turn their focus to their quarterfinal meeting against Ralston Valley (10-1, 5-0).

The Panthers fell to the Mustangs 30-22 on Oct. 12.

Feland threw four interceptions that day but Pomona still had on opportunity to win the game late.

“We beat the defending state champi-ons last year in the playoffs but got beat the following week so we learned a lot from that,” Madden said. “If we can take care of the ball we can beat anybody but if we are turning the ball over and giving it away anybody is capable of beating us.”

Holy Family ousted from state tourneyTigers fall to Manitou Springs and ValleyBy Jonathan [email protected]

DENVER - It was a tough state tourna-ment for the Holy Family volleyball team.

Not only did the Tigers drop their first match to 12th-seeded Manitou Springs, but they had to play most of Saturday’s match against top-seeded Valley with-out junior Claudia Pena and sophomore Blayke Hranicka.

Both players were injured during the first set against Valley, Pena rolled her an-kle and Hranicka injured her knee.

With those two down, Holy Family couldn’t stay with the undefeated Vikings, who went on to win their second state title in three years.

The Tigers lost 25-13, 25-14, 25-15.Holy Family (16-11) got it close in

the third game when Torri Mosko’s kill brought the Tigers within one point.

However, that was as close as the Tigers got as Valley’s Brynn Eckhardt and Layne Pachl dominated the net to close out Holy Family.

“The girls came out and played hard,” Holy Family coach Bryan Winther said. “They could have given up, but didn’t.”

On Friday, Manitou Springs proved to be more than what the Tigers bargained for. The Mustangs held off Holy Family in five sets, winning 25-20, 19-25, 24-26, 25-20, 18-16.

Hranicka led the Tigers with 18 kills against Manitou Springs (20-8), while se-nior Sarah Weerstra had six kills to lead the squad against the Vikings.

Weerstra led the team in assists during both matches, 34 on Friday and adding 22 against Valley.

Holy Family will have seven under-classmen returning next year, including Hranicka who led the Tigers with 312 kills and Pena, who had 204 kills.

Valley won the state title after beating St. Mary’s in five games in the champion-ship match.

Arapahoe tops Horizon in second roundHawks rally comes up short in fourth quarterBy Jonathan [email protected]

THORNTON - The Horizon football season once again ended with a bitter taste in the team’s mouth.

The Hawks had ample chances to win their second-round Class 5A state playoff game with fifth-seeded Arapahoe on Fri-day, but once again shot themselves in the foot at inopportune moments.

No. 21 Horizon turned the ball over four times and had two scoring plays called back due to penalties, before fall-ing to the Warriors 17-14 at Five Star Sta-dium.

The Hawks had a touchdown pass from Stackhouse to Jordan Iacovetta called back in the second quarter and then in the fourth quarter, a 78-yard touchdown pass from Stackhouse to Dustin Rivas was negated due to a penalty, which would have given Horizon the lead with less than five minutes left in the contest.

“Missed opportunities, two years in a row,” Horizon coach Frank Ybarra said.

The Hawks lost in similar fashion to Lakewood during last year’s state play-offs, when they turned the ball over four times.

Both squads scored on their opening drives.

Arapahoe got on board with a field

goal by J.D. Hall, but Horizon answered after Dante Chand’s 56-yard run on the opening drive set up a 1-yard touchdown plunge by Stackhouse.

After that the Hawks struggled against

the Warriors’ unpredictable defense, forcing Horizon to twice go three-and-out and stalling a drive with an intercep-tion in the second quarter.

“You don’t know where they are com-ing from,” Ybarra said. “They bring eight, nine guys, and from every angle and ev-ery gap.”

Arapahoe capitalized on Horizon’s struggles and turned to Jose Cancanon to lead the way. Cancanon fought his way into the end zone from 23 yards out to give the Warriors a 10-7 lead with over three minutes left in the half.

Two minutes later the junior running back scored again pounding his way into the end zone from two yards.

Cancanon had 115 yards on 12 carries at the half to help the Warriors lead 17-7; he finished the game with 136 yards.

The Hawks did stage a rally in the fourth quarter, Stackhouse hooked up with Greg Gonzales for a 43-yard touch-down to cut the Warriors lead to three.

However, Horizon turned the ball over on downs the next two possessions and Stackhouse’s pass was intercepted on the final drive.

“Our D has been pretty good all year. It’s been our safety blanket,” Arapahoe

coach Mike Campbell said. “A win is a win when you are in the playoffs and I am very proud of our guys.”

Dante Chand had 121 yards rushing and finished the season with 813 yards to lead the Hawks.

Stackhouse threw for 116 yards, a touchdown and two picks.

He had 1,672 yards and 22 touchdowns for the season, while Rivas had 806 yards receiving and 10 touchdown catches to lead Horizon.

Defensively, Gunnar Campbell had two sacks in the contest and finished the season with 11. Horizon will graduate 16 seniors, including Stackhouse, Rivas, Dante Chand and captains Easton Rob-bins, Chad David and Steven Sumey.

“I’m losing some special players,” Ybarra said. “Great kids, I’m going to miss them and it stinks for them.”

The Hawks finished the season 7-4 overall, with three of their losses being by less than seven points.

Up next for Arapahoe (10-1) is No. 4 Valor Christian Eagles, who have plowed their way through the first two rounds.

They beat Legacy 52-6 in the first round and then topped Regis Jesuit 44-3 last week.

Gators show bite in loss to SouthStandley Lake almost pulls off upset in first roundBy Craig [email protected]

DENVER - Though the odds seemed stacked against it, 14th-seeded Standley Lake oozed with confidence that it would break ground and secure the football program’s first playoff win in last Friday night’s Class 4A opener against No. 3 Denver South.

“They predicted South to beat us by a lot and kill us - MaxPreps saying it was going to be 31-10,’’ said Gators sophomore Conner Durant. “But that was our biggest motivation. That made the whole team mad.’’

Why, the Gators even dreamed of greater aspirations.“We felt we were going to win if we could take away

their big plays,’’ coach Don Morse said. “We felt our side of the bracket set up nice, and we really felt we could make a run for the whole thing.’’

But the celebration will have to wait - though maybe not long as the Gators currently are set to return nine of-fensive starters and six on defense for 2013 - as South rallied for a fourth-quarter touchdown to pull out a 26-21 victory at All City Stadium.

Standley Lake’s second playoff season (a 2009 first-round loss to Monrose) ended with a 7-4 record that also included losses to 4A powers Broomfield and Monarch, and 5A Smoky Hill. They say speed kills, and for the most part it did for the Rebels (10-1 and six straight wins since a loss to Broomfield), who advanced to play No. 6 Wheat Ridge in the quarterfinals. Pete Williams, who replaced injured University of Colorado commitment Phillip Lind-say early in the season, rushed 22 times for 219 yards and three touchdowns and Zachary Lindsay added 108 yards and a score on just six carries. South had seven plays from scrimmage of 20 yards or longer and nine from 10-19 yards, compared to Standley Lake’s two and four.

But most of South’s big plays came as it built a 20-7 lead with 5:55 left in the third quarter.

Halftime defensive adjustments - stacking the box with a 5-3 look - and some big plays by Durant keyed a Gators’ comeback for a 21-20 lead with after the third quarter.

Shortly after Williams’ second touchdown run, a 27-yarder that immediately followed a 29-yard run by Lindsay (he had a 62-yarder on his first carry of the game) for the 20-7 lead, Durant turned a short pass from

fellow sophomore Jacob Naranjo into a 30-yard gain to the South 11-yard line. That set up Jordan Downing’s 4-yard touchdown.

The Gators’ defense forced a three-and-out, and Du-rant made South pay with a 43-yard punt return to the Rebel 5. Then, on third-and-13, Durant drew a pass in-terference penalty on South’s Shun Johnson for a first down at the 9. Mario Spears scored on the ensuing play, and with Tanner Flack’s extra-point kick, Standley Lake took the one-point lead into the fourth quarter.

“I’ve got to credit our offense, but mostly our defense,’’ Durant said. “We were making stops.’’

“I thought we could beat them the whole time,’’ Morse

said. “I mean, they’re amazing. They’re huge, their speed is phenomenal. But defensively, I thought we played much better the second half. And offensively, I thought we moved the ball the whole game; they never really shut us down.’’

But South answered the Gators’ go-ahead score with a 60-yard, 10-play touchdown drive, which, ironically, lacked a blockbuster play but did include a fourth-and-3 quarterback keeper for seven yards by Malik Tollerson for a first down at the 26, followed by a 15-yard pass (the longest play of the drive) to Lindsay on a rollout.

Williams scored from two yards out, but a two-point conversion pass failed (South missed a PAT on its second touchdown), leaving the door open for Standley Lake to win with a touchdown.

But the Gators, who had drives of 64, 61 (ending with an interception from the South 14 near the end of the first half ) and 62 yards, made just one first down on their final two possessions.

South outrushed Standley Lake 382-161 yards, but the Gators held South to 65 yards passing, including three catches for 13 yards for Kerrian Chambers and Orlando Mosley, two potent receiving targets. Spears leading the way for the Gators’ rushing attack with 53 and two touchdowns on 10 carries.

Durant caught three of Naranjo’s six completions (22 attempts, two interceptions) for 76 yards.

Returning to the playoffs was a major preseason goal for Standley Lake, but that won’t suffice for 2013. “It was a big goal, but as it went on it became we needed to move in the playoffs,’’ Morse said. “We sincerely hope that next year we should be able to make a run at it.’’

“We believe we can do better than this,’’ Durant add-ed. “Just getting to the playoffs shouldn’t be a big deal, it should be expected of us. This game should give us a big motivation to do better next year and hopefully get that first-ever playoff win in Standley Lake history.’’

5A state playoff quarterfinals:No. 7 Pomona (9-2, 4-1) at No. 2

Ralston Valley (10-1, 5-0), Friday at 7 p.m. at North Area Athletic Com-plex

* Game plan: This game is truly a clash of the titans and a rematch of one of the best 5A games played all season.

Ralston Valley - winner of the 5A North Metro league - beat league runner up Pomona 30-22 on their Oct. 12 meeting. Pomona played good enough to win that day but their quarterback senior Alec Feland threw four interceptions. Ralston

Valley senior Spencer Svejcar inter-cepted two of Feland’s passes that day and added 109 receiving yards. Pomona junior running back Chris Marquez ran for 114 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the loss.

However, this time around could be a different story. Pomona is com-ing off beating reigning state cham-pion Columbine 42-22 and has won four straight games since their loss to Ralston Valley outscoring their opponents 153-52.

But many also believe Ralston Valley is the best team in the state. They average 39.5 points per game and their one loss was a 29-25 road defeat to No. 1 ranked Thunder-Ridge. Moreover, Ralston Valley’s de-fense has not allowed a single point

on the scoreboard this postseason, outscoring their two opponents 87-0.

* Extra point: Ralston Valley is the slight favorite going into this game and rightfully so. Their body of work this season is as impressive as any team in the state.

However, Pomona has some-thing extra and seems to be made of something special this season.

The Panthers have grit, heart, swagger and have shown they are never out of a game even on days when they are not at their best. If Po-mona doesn’t turn the ball over they can beat anyone.

But if Ralston Valley brings their A-game on Friday they will be hard - if not impossible - to beat.

Sports Roundup: Holy Family falls to Pueblo East Sommers fi nishes with 464 total yards By Jonathan Maness [email protected]

PUEBLO - For the second con-secutive season the Holy Family foot-ball team lost in the fi rst round of the Class 3A state playoffs.

The Tigers couldn’t stay with No. 5 Pueblo East and its high-powered of-fense, falling 49-28 at Dutch Clark Sta-dium in Pueblo.

The Eagles’ star running back De-rion Ibarra torched Holy Family’s de-fense for 308 yards and three touch-downs.

He broke loose to score the fi rst

touchdown of the game, a 19-yard scamper in the opening quarter.

Holy Family (8-3) answered when David Sommers connected with Matt Erb on a 25-yard touchdown pass. The Eagles responded by scoring the next 21 points, Sommers did add a touch-down before the half to cut Pueblo East’s lead to 28-14 at halftime.

Sommers and Erb cut the lead to 15 after connecting on a 78-yard touch-down pass on the opening possession of the second half, but the Eagles of-fense couldn’t be contained.

Ibarra and Marco Perez each found paydirt in the second half to seal the win.

Erb fi nished the game with 159 re-ceiving yards on seven catches and two scores, while Sommers rushed for

154 yards and threw for 309; he also tossed two touchdown passes and rushed for two more.

Up next, Pueblo East (9-2) will travel to the Western Slope to face the Delta Panthers in the second round.

Funding available for wildlife habitat improvements

Habitat is the single most criti-cal factor in sustaining a healthy wildlife population in the midst of a growing and urbanizing Front Range.

Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife have done a commendable job in leasing and purchasing land that provides wildlife habitat under the State Wildlife Area properties and to a lesser extent, the Walk-In Hunting properties.

Since Colorado wildlife nest-ing, feeding and predator protec-tion needs depend heavily on how private agricultural farming and grazing land is management and conserved, one grant funding pro-gram was introduced some years to bring cooperation and incentives into the mix.

The Habitat Partnership Program accepts applications from any agen-cy, entity, organization or individual

(community or agriculture) interest-ed in receiving financial assistance in developing a cooperative habitat program.

“This program works,” said Pat Tucker, Habitat Partnership Program coordinator for the division. “We see working partnerships between (the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife) and agriculture and sports-men statewide that enhances wild-life populations and reduces game damage claims and conflicts.”

The program funding presents an opportunity for community groups,

scout troops, sportsmen groups, agricultural leaders or local govern-ments to come together to improve and enhance habitat conditions for wildlife.

Typical habitat improvements include shrub and/or tree cutting, plantings, water developments, invasive weed control and natural grass and plant reseeding, or similar improvements that result in pro-tective habitat for wildlife or food sources.

Those interested in proposing a wildlife habitat improvement need to submit an application by Febru-ary 2013.

The total funding approved by the division for this program is $500,000. Work on approved proj-ects can begin July 1, 2013, and must be completed by June 30, 2014.

Information and application process and forms are available by calling Pat Tucker at 970-255-6188.
