Helping in the name of � anksgiving By Michelle Boyer [email protected]
The Brighton community comes together this weekend for the 12th Annual Almost Home Thanksgiving Box Program.
Last year 300 boxes were dis-tributed, helping 1,221 family members of the community.
Each box includes; a turkey gift card for a 14 pounds of tur-key from King Soopers, 5 pounds of potatoes, 3 pounds of onions (donated by Sakata Farms), car-rots, bread (donated by Gordon Bacon), gravy and stuffing, two cans of fruit and two cans of veg-
etables, pinto beans (donated by the Elevator in Roggen, and packaged up by Cub Scouts Pack No. 61), a 1 pound bag of rice and a chocolate cake mix.
“It’s a very fun event, in which we get amazing community sup-port and that we certainly get to touch 300 families to have a Thanksgiving that we would like to all have,” Executive Director of Almost Home, Terry Moore said. “It’s a warm feel, and Brighton is very fortunate to have several food pantries who help us sup-plement what is needed to do a traditional Thanksgiving feast.”
This year’s event will have 25
community members helping during the two day event. On Friday volunteers will help as-semble each box and on Satur-day the boxes will be distributed to the families in need. This year a group from Kaiser, along with the Brighton Youth Commission will also help with the event.
“This is the one time of the year we get involved in providing food donations to help families we get to help that we’ve helped the year before,” Moore said.
This year’s big three sponsors are Platte Valley Medical Center, United Power and Kaiser.
“Turkeys have gotten more
expensive this year,” Moore said. “The cost has gone from $5 for a certificate to $10.50. This year, a turkey is .69 cents a pound. We certainly couldn’t continue with-out these three organizations. Platte Valley Medical Center does their part all through staff dona-tions alone, and isn’t funded by the organization at all.”
Individuals who want to help can still help by donating funds. Also if a family is in need of a box, it is recommended to call Almost Home at 303-659-6199 and con-firm that boxes are still available.
‘Live in Brighton’ Banquet celebrates the best of city
By Lou Ellen Bromley [email protected]
Brighton Chamber of Commerce celebrated some outstanding peo-ple and businesses that have con-tributed to the Brighton community over the last year, by honoring them at the annual Brighton Chamber of Commerce banquet at the Adams County fairgrounds Saturday.
Announcing the winners for the Small Business of the Year award and the Business of the Year award were last year’s winners, DeDee Harris, owner of the Pink Door Bou-tique and Nail Salon, and winner of the Business of the Year award for 2013, and Rick Elio, owner of Front Range Auto, and winner of the 2013 Small Business of the Year award.
The winner of the Small Business of the Year Award for 2014 is, Brigh-ton Eye Associates with Dr. Rod-ney Fair and Dr. Cheryl Baker. The Brighton Eye Associates opened for business in Brighton in 1959 and has been a member of the Brigh-ton Chamber of Commerce since then. Fair and Baker are recognized for their efforts to support the eye health and eye needs of Brighton residents. The Brighton Eye Associ-ates offi ce currently has a fi ve star
online rating from over 400 patients.The winner of the Business of
the Year award is Allstate Insurance Agency, located at the Brighton Pa-vilions and operated by Melissa Rip-py. Melissa and her team have been involved in giving back to the com-munity from the time they opened, just over a year ago. The Melissa Rippy Agency has been instrumen-tal in working with the Brighton High School to provide safe driving education to teens, and challenging them to take the “X the Text” pledge.
The “X the Text” program en-courages teenage drivers to not text and drive. The agency is also actively involved in Brighton High School Athletics, Brighton DECA and several other school activities. Rippy and her team are also giving back to the community by continu-ally holding a toiletry and clothing
drive, and have partnered in a food drive to help provide healthy foods for Brighton residents in need.
The Community Organization of the Year Award is given to a Brighton organization that has always main-tained a strong effort to help bet-ter the Brighton community with outreach programs and inspired strategies and marketing skills. The winner of this award for 2014 is the Brighton Kiwanis Club. The Kiwanis of Brighton have been active in the community for nearly 50 years and has helped the children of Brigh-ton with a variety of programs and projects, and supported other non-profi ts. Kiwanis was involved in two outstanding programs in Brighton this year.
The fi rst was the Predator AWARE fair, that brought nationally recog-nized experts in child and youth
safety to Brighton to provide infor-mation and helpful techniques to learn about how to protect against online predators, identity theft and other kinds of potential danger to the children and youth. The second program Kiwanis supported in 2014 was to join the 27J school district in a partnership to supply 14 Buddy Benches to each one of the elemen-tary schools in the school district. The Buddy Bench program helps the children in each school by pro-viding a place to go to connect with another child, so no one is left out of play.
The Citizen of the Year Award for 2014 was won by Patricia Mur-ray. Patricia has been an important part of the Brighton community for many years and has always given of her time and talents to help oth-ers. She has volunteered to serve on many boards and committees in Brighton, including the Platte Valley Medical Center Foundation, the Brighton Economic Develop-ment Corporation, the Metro North Chamber and the Colorado State Fair Board, and has been a major supporter of the Brighton Chamber of Commerce for several years.
Patricia is a key member of Auer Woodly Murray Inc, where she works with other businesses provid-ing help with their accounting and bookkeeping needs. Fundraising is one of Patricia’s passions; she has spearheaded several capitol cam-paigns for the Platte Valley Medical Center, which has raised nearly $10 million dollars.
Patricia and her husband Glenn are still actively involved in the farming community in Brighton and continue to raise corn, wheat and alfalfa hay. Patricia is also an avid NASCAR fan, having been to several racing events all over the country. She also enjoys playing golf, and is the very proud of the “Ugliest Moustache” award she received at
this year’s Chamber of Commerce golf tournament. Patricia won this award by designing and wearing a moustache she created from her own hair.
The last award for the evening was the Ambassador of the Year award, presented to Kim Smith, with Central Payment. Kim was honored for her work with Brighton Chamber president and CEO Holly Hansen during her fi rst year by keeping communication open be-tween the Chamber of Commerce and Brighton business leaders, without expecting praise or rewards for her efforts.
The evening’s music and enter-tainment was provided by Joyful Noise Music School rock band and their director Rich Germaine, and the Impulse Theater Company, who performed a live improvisational comedy show before the awards ceremony began. There was also a silent auction and live auction, with items donated for the event. The money raised by both auctions will be used to support the Brighton Chamber of Commerce in the on-going services they provide.
Companies that helped spon-sor the banquet for the Chamber of Commerce included; United Power, The City of Brighton, Wells Fargo Bank, Platte Valley Medical Center, Adams County Government, Valley Bank and Trust and Firefl y Event Services.
The Brighton Chamber of Com-merce was incorporated on Oct. 15, 1955, and now has close to 350 members, who will be helping to celebrating their 60th Anniversary in 2015. The Chamber of Com-merce will be kicking off their “hon-oring the Past/Building the Future” campaign. This campaign will focus on expanding our community re-sources, building a visitors center and providing new and innovative programs and services for Brighton.

Co�ee time with Ward 4 council membersWell attended meeting gave o�cials an earfulBy Lou Ellen [email protected]
Despite the bone chilling weather, sev-eral residents of Brighton’s Ward 4 came out to discuss concerns with city council repre-sentatives Mark Humbert and J.W. Edwards.
More than 21 people enjoyed coffee and cookies while taking part in the opportunity to talk about several topics.
The one topic discussed heatedly was the 2014 school bond issue. Despite repeat-ed assurances by the councilmen that the city of Brighton supported the bond and did what they could, several people were
critical that the council had not done more to help the bond pass.
Edwards explained that the city council passed a resolution in support of the bond and helped in every way they could to en-courage residents to vote for it, but that city council has no control of how the campaign for the bond issue was handled. That was the responsibility of the 27J school board.
Ward 4 resident Jim Learned noted, “That there is no accountability by the school board to the public or the city.”
Both Humbert and Edwards encouraged people to attend the school board meet-ings and discuss their concerns with school board members. Several Ward 4 residents suggested that when the next bond election for the school district comes before voters again that all city council members go door to door and talk to voters.
City Manager Manuel Esquibel, further explained that the city of Brighton does require any new developers in Brighton to pay fees to offset the cost of building and maintaining schools in the 27J district. Humbert explained that Brighton is the model for the state, in developing plans for encouraging community developers to support the school districts in which they develop communities.
Other topics discussed were the con-struction of the road connecting Southern Street to Tower Road and Bridge St. to Brom-ley Lane, and the development of Phase 2 at the Eagle View Adult Center, to include a pool and exercise area and additional park-ing. The purchase of another street sweeper by Brighton was announced, which brought about a suggestion by residents to publish the schedule for street sweeping in Brigh-
ton in local papers so residents could move their cars and prepare for the sweepers. Concerns about trash being dumped at the recycle center were also brought up, and a discussion about the historic buildings in Brighton was also included in last night’s Ward 4 coffee.
Both councilmen reported that the 2015 budget for the city is in place and is bal-anced, and listed the upcoming events in Brighton before the first of the year. Resi-dents that attended the Coffee with the Council members encouraged the coun-cilmen to have more meetings such as last nights, having appreciated the opportunity to discuss, face to face, the issues they felt important with their city council represen-tatives.
Council members share viewsBy Lou Ellen [email protected]
City Council members Joan Kness and Kerby Wallin, shared coffee, donuts and conversation with Ward 1 residents at the Star-bucks in the King Soopers on 50th and Bridge St. Saturday morn-ing. Several people stopped by to talk to the council members in this informal setting, to ask questions and to share their ideas and concerns.
The residents dropped in a few at a time, giving Kness and Wallin the opportunity to give personal attention to each person. A representative from the Bromley Park HOA asks about extend-ing the sidewalks on the East side of 50th Ave to connect Bromley Park to Bridge St. Other residents were concerned about the traf-fic flow in the intersection of 136th Ave and Sable and a ramp over Hwy. 76. Residents would like to see more business and amenities come into the Prairie Center Shopping area, so they would not have to leave Brighton to find everything they need or want.
Safety was another concern mentioned by several residents — more sidewalks and better lighting was suggested along Bridge St. and in surrounding neighborhoods. Other residents had ques-tions about any future developments being planned for the east side of Brighton.
Everyone that participated in the Coffee with Council ap-peared to appreciate the opportunity to visit with their represen-tatives, and would like to see council continue to hold informal meetings in the future.
State poetry contest open for businessStudents vie for chance to represent ColoradoBy Vic [email protected]
Registration is now open for a state-backed poetry competition, and prospective participants have until Jan. 13 to decide to be — or not to be — part of the contest.
The Poetry Out Loud competition is a program de-signed to give high school students the ability to learn about poetry through memorization, performance and competition.
Participants will pick from selected poems to in-terpret, with one state winner advancing to the na-tional finals in April in Washington, D.C.
The competition marks the 10th year of the pro-gram, which collaborates with the National Endow-ment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation.
“It’s definitely been rewarding and we’ve had some really successful students here,” said Christy Costello, program manager for Colorado Creative Industries, an art advocacy program backed by the state’s Office of Economic Development and International Trade.
Students will interpret two poems of their choos-ing from selected readings. One is a poem of 25 lines or fewer, the other being a poem that was written pri-or to the 20th century.
Students who are interested in participating should encourage teachers or administrators at their school to register for the program. Registration must be done through the school and not by the individual student.
State finalists will compete in Lakewood on March 3. The state champion wins $200 and an all-expens-es-paid trip to Washington to compete in the national competition.
The Poetry Out Loud national champion will win a $20,000 prize.
In 2011, then-Thornton High School student Sam-uel Opoku won the statewide competition and fin-ished fourth in the national competition.
However, the contest isn’t just about winning, Costello said.
“The goal of program is to teach memorization and to keep poetry alive across the nation,” Costello said.
For more information about the competition, go to coloradocreativeindustries.org or call Rachael Deagman at 720-253-3337.

Audit � nds child services wanting Agency chief notes complexity of issue By Vic Vela [email protected]
A state audit cites several areas of concern over the han-dling of cases within the state’s child welfare system.
The 260-page report lays out dozens of recommend-ed fixes to “deficiencies” that were found in samplings of cases that were screened by the Department of Hu-man Services during the 2013 fiscal year.
The findings included problems with the screening process of potential child abuse cases as well as a lack of proper state supervision over child welfare services handled by individual counties.
“The audit findings collectively suggest a need for the department to improve its supervision of the child wel-fare system to promote strong and consistent practices by the counties to help protect children,” reads the re-port, which was authored by the State Auditor’s Office.
However, DHS Executive Director Reggie Bicha strongly pushed back against some areas of the report during a Nov. 12 legislative committee hearing.
“Child welfare practice is extremely complex,” he told the panel.
The report gathers information from samplings of the 70,400 reported cases of abuse and neglect that were screened by the department in 2013.
The audit finds that in some cases, “it was unclear” whether counties followed state-mandated rules when determining whether cases warrant further investiga-tion by the department.
Case workers’ timeliness of initial contact with fami-lies also was a concern. In a small number of cases sampled, the audit found that “caseworkers did not in-terview or observe children involved in child welfare re-ferrals within county-assigned response times.”
Other samples showed some risk assessment docu-ments had incorrect information about families and their histories, while other reports failed to identify child safety issues.
Bicha told lawmakers that his department agrees with many of the recommendations spelled out in the audit and that many of the findings dealt with issues the agency had already been addressing.
Bicha also stressed that caseworkers do their best to assess each situation properly and said that mandating “one-size fits all” regulations does a disservice to the public and to each individual child’s needs.
Bicha particularly took issue with concerns that
counties responded in contradictory or unreliable ways to auditors’ findings that state guidelines were not being followed properly.
“Having a difference of opinion, rethinking initial conclusions, or debating interpretation of law, policy and practice in a world of very limited resources should not be grounds for questioning the department’s tes-timonial evidence or validity or our reliability,” Bicha said.
The department has put in place a handful of reforms over the last couple of years after news reports found troubling handlings of cases involving children who died due to abuse and neglect.
Among the reforms set to launch in January will be
the creation of a statewide child abuse and neglect hot-line that was approved by the Legislature in 2013.
The audit was requested by lawmakers, including Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, who is known to craft legislation focused on the protection of children.
Newell said through an emailed statement that the report “reaffirms how delicate and complex the child protection system is.”
Newell said she will follow up on the findings and that additional legislation may be taken up when law-makers reconvene in January.
“We need to continue to work with the state depart-ment and counties on improving the system,” she said.

What is the best thing about holiday theater?
Theater around the holidays is a part of the season and a tradition for many. We went to the rehearsals for the Devel-opmental Disabilities Resource Center’s annual show to fi nd out what the best thing about holiday theater is.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
“The fun people.”-Suzi Burger, Lakewood
“People are predisposed to have a good time during the holidays. They’re so loving and enthusiastic – you open the curtains and love � ows on stage.”
-Patrick Dorn, Denver
“The people – I can be in the worse mood and then I show up and they just brighten my day.”
-Leah Nixon, Denver
“Hanging out with all the other actors.”
-Greg Stanley, Lakewood
Keep public notices truly public Editor’s note: Originally published in
The Aspen Times.When government is adopting new
zoning regulations, reviewing applications for retail marijuana licenses or inviting dialogue and discussion about any num-ber of the myriad powers it may exercise, it is required by Colorado law to notify the public. Since statehood, Colorado’s public has relied on local newspapers to publish such notices.
Colorado Counties Inc., the association of county commissioners, has voted to pursue state legislation to allow counties to post their legal notices on individual county websites instead of in commu-nity newspapers. Similar legislation was defeated in 2013.
In 2014, the Colorado Press Association won approval of legislation to create www.public noticecolorado.com, a free, search-able, digital compilation of public notices published in Colorado newspapers. It provides 24/7 access to statewide notices about foreclosures, hearings, advertise-ments for bids, fi nancial reports, ordi-nances and other government activities required to be published.
This is a public service that takes ad-vantage of modern technology. It provides an archive of notices — proof for the government agencies that they provided legally required notice. (It already is required that newspapers provide third-party verifi cation.)
It’s unreasonable to expect the public to keep track of governmental activities in a decentralized state such as Colorado, which has 1,800 government entities — counties, municipalities, school boards, irrigation districts, fi re districts and more
agencies, boards and commissions — that must notify the public of planned actions.
We want independent publication to help prevent cozy contract deals or simple mistakes by careless bureaucrats.
We also know the costs of legal adver-tising. The counties’ proposal could end up costing money as counties examine the personnel and equipment they might need to post and maintain legals in a way that satisfi es people who read legals; professionals who use them in their busi-ness and, in many cases, older residents who have long scoured legal notices to be aware of their government’s plans.
The counties’ association proposal would not apply to any other government bodies, an odd proposition that’s hard to justify. Why should counties notify the public any differently than the rest of government?
The proposal also is a step backward. It doesn’t feel right to do away with third-party verifi cation, a permanent print and digital archive and distribution platforms known to Coloradans for more than 100 years.
We have a much more modern system in place now that better serves the public.
We question whether it makes sense to ask government to control the very business it is required to share with the public. If a government website crashes during the period of time that a citizen
is looking for a particular liquor hearing, who will be responsible for helping that citizen to attend a meeting designed to encourage dialogue? How will that citizen get the information she needs before it’s too late? And how will the impact be measured if local voices aren’t heard on topics of community interest? Worse, who is responsible when a notice is published to the Web with a mistake? Do we ask the government to supervise the government? That’s an unreasonable request regardless of the organization.
Even if we made the assumption — which we won’t do — that government would fl awlessly execute public notices, the data tells us that transparency will be reduced if notices move from newspa-pers and newspaper sites to government websites.
For example, in September, Pitkin County’s website, which is a shared site with the city of Aspen, had 29,671 users and 97,156 page views. The Aspen Times had 139,903 users and 932,872 page views that same month.
It simply makes sense to continue with the modern practice in place: a digital approach that grew from a practice of publishing such notices in newspapers that is as old as the state of Colorado.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t address the 800-pound gorilla in the room. Some newspapers get paid to publish legal no-tices. Paid publications are paid according to rates established by state statute and unchanged since 1993. Public-notice ad-vertising rates are the lowest ad rates that newspapers offer and the costs amount to less than 1 percent of county budgets.

EDUCATION NEWS IN A HURRY Board votes to extend
superintendent’s contractThe School District 27J Board of Education unani-
mously voted this evening during its regular board meeting to extend the contract of 27J Superintendent Chris Fiedler.
The new agreement, e� ective July 1, 2015, extends Fiedler’s contract with the district through June 30, 2017. Dr. Fiedler began his work as School District 27J superintendent on July 1, 2012. His current two-year contract extension, approved by the board in October 2013, was set to expire June 30, 2016. However, the 27J Board of Education has made it standard practice to negotiate a contract extension with the superintendent well in advance of the expiring agreement.
The contract extension stipulates that Fiedler will continue to earn his current salary of $199,455 during the 2015-16 and 2016-17 school years.
The extension followed a detailed evaluation process completed by Board of Education members. In their evaluation of Fiedler, board members noted the district’s progress under Fiedler toward academic achievement goals set by the board. This includes, for
the � rst time, School District 27J meeting a board goal that high school ACT scores increase by 0.5 percent annually.
The board also praised Fiedler’s continued commit-ment toward increasing community engagement.
“He has created several community groups such as the Quality Schools Initiative as well as Engage 27J, which o� er opportunities for community members to become more involved and more informed,” said Board of Education President Patrick Day. “Dr. Fiedler has be-come more active and visible to community businesses and organizations.”
Prior to being hired as superintendent, Fiedler served as an elementary and high school principal in the district.
“I want to thank the Board of Education for their faith and commitment to my leadership of this district and for supporting me as we work to make this district a great place for our students, families and sta� ,” Dr. Fiedler said. “I’m extremely blessed to work in this district and lead an incredibly talented group of teach-ers and sta� members committed to the success of our students.”
GOP tabs state Senate leaders Colorado Springs Republican Bill Cadman to serve as president By Vic Vela [email protected]
A unifi ed Senate Republican caucus on Nov. 11 unanimously put in place a lead-ership team that will guide the chamber’s new majority party through the next legis-lative session.
It came as no surprise that the 18-mem-ber caucus tabbed Sen. Bill Cadman of Col-orado Springs as Senate President. Cadman has served in the Legislature since 2000 and has represented Republicans as Senate mi-nority leader the last four sessions.
Cadman infused some humor into the proceedings as he reminded those in at-tendance of how long it had taken him to fi nally oversee a Republican majority.
“As we prepare to serve in the majority — I have to say it again — as we prepare to serve in the majority,” Cadman said to laughter from inside a large-sized Capitol committee hearing room. “We got the big room. I haven’t been in here in eight years.”
When the legislative session begins in mid-January, Republicans will enjoy an 18-17 majority, the same one-seat advantage Democrats held last year.
That’s thanks in part to victories by Re-publican candidates in a few key Senate districts, including a win by Beth Martinez-Humenik in the Adams County-based Sen-ate District 24, a tight race that wasn’t called until days after the election.
While Republicans will hold a slim ma-jority in the Senate, the opposite will be true in the House, where Democrats held on to their majority following the results
from Nov. 4.That reality is not lost on Cadman.“We have to stay focused on what brings
us together as a caucus, not what divides us,” Cadman urged his members.
Cadman’s right-hand-man next session will continue to be Sen. Mark Scheffel of Parker, who will serve as majority leader.
Scheffel, who was elected to his District 4 seat in 2008, has served as assistant mi-nority leader under Cadman for the last three years.
“It’s humbling. It’s an honor. It’s a privi-lege,” Scheffel said after being heaped with praise by Cadman, who nominated Schef-fel for the position.
Two women will serve on the new lead-ership team: Sen. Ellen Roberts of Durango, who was elected Senate president pro-tem and Sen. Vickie Marble of Fort Collins, who will serve as Republican caucus chairwom-an.
Sen. Randy Baumgardner of Hot Sulfur Springs, who will serve as majority whip, will hold the job of counting and rounding up votes on legislation.
With its new majority, Republicans will double the number of members that will sit on the Joint Budget Committee, which oversees the forming of the annual state budget.
Sen. Kent Lambert of Colorado Springs will continue to serve on the commit-tee with new JBC member Sen. Kevin Grantham of Canon City joining him.
At the end of the proceedings, Cad-man and his colleagues exchanged Peyton Manning jerseys, with the Denver Broncos quarterback’s No. 18 symbolizing the num-ber of GOP members that will serve in the chamber over which Cadman will preside.
“Eighteen is what it takes to make a ma-jority,” he said. “We are all the 18th member of this team.”

Dems tout diversity in leadership picks Hullinghorst to be � rst female speaker since 2003 By Vic Vela [email protected]
The state House Democratic Caucus came together on Nov. 14 to elect a new leadership team that will be made up almost entirely of either minorities or women when lawmakers begin work in January.
They will include Colorado’s first fe-male speaker of the state House of Rep-resentatives since 2003.
Rep. Dickey Lee Hullinghorst of Gun-barrel was tabbed speaker following a unanimous vote during a leadership election gathering inside the Capitol.
Hullinghorst, who was first elected to her House District 10 seat in 2008, had previously served as majority leader un-der outgoing speaker Mark Ferrandino of Denver, who is term-limited.
Hullinghorst thanked her colleagues and recalled what it was like having first walked into the Capitol as an elected of-ficial about six years ago.
“It gave me chills, just like I’m feeling right now,” she said.
When Hullinghorst takes the speaker’s gavel in early January, she will become the first female speaker since Lola Sprad-ley.
Hullinghorst will lead a House that has a Democratic majority of 34-31, a smaller seat advantage than Ferrandino enjoyed last year, due to a few Democratic losses in the Nov. 4 election.
Ferrandino also had the luxury of a Democratic Senate majority. That won’t happen now that Republicans hold a one-seat advantage in that chamber fol-lowing election results from earlier this month.
“There are those who say that a split legislature is a huge challenge … ” Hull-inghorst said. “I prefer to consider it a huge opportunity.”
Hullinghorst also praised Ferrandi-
no’s two-year stewardship in the House, where she said the outgoing speaker “ac-complished more for the people of Colo-rado than any other Legislature.”
The election of Hullinghorst for speaker by acclimation was one of the few uncontested leadership races voted on by House Democrats.
Among the contested battles was that of House Majority Leader, which Rep. Crisanta Duran of Denver won.
“She knows how to work across the aisle and she knows how to build a coali-tion,” said Rep. Daniel Kagan of Cherry Hills Village, who nominated Duran for the post.
Duran beat out Dan Pabon of Denver, a former assistant Majority Leader. Pa-bon was widely considered to be a candi-date for House speaker as well. Instead, he threw his support behind Hulling-horst.
After losing the majority leader elec-tion, Pabon told Duran, “You’ve got my 100 percent support.”
Rep. Dominick Moreno of Commerce
City will serve as Duran’s assistant ma-jority leader after beating out Denver Rep. Beth McCann for the post.
Moreno was first elected to the House in 2012 and has the least amount of ex-perience among members of the new leadership team. Moreno said that he has always dismissed talk of him not having enough experience in any endeavor he has undertaken.
“I wouldn’t be here standing before you today if I hadn’t proved them wrong,” he said.
Rep. Sue Ryden of Aurora will serve as House majority whip, a position charged with counting and rounding up votes. Rep. Brittany Pettersen of Lakewood will serve as assistant whip.
Rep. Angela Williams of Denver was elected Democratic caucus chairperson.
Rep. Mike Foote of Lafayette was the only nonminority or nonfemale elected to a leadership post. He will serve as as-sistant caucus chairperson.

BHS swim team young, but competitiveBy Michelle [email protected]
The Lady Dawgs swim team is still growing in numbers this season.
“Currently we have 30-40 girls signed up, and we hope to get more,” Coach Carl Diehl said. “We have a young team, but good experience on the team.”
As with every year, the swim team doesn’t only include Brighton High School swimmers. This year athletes from Prairie View High School, Eagle Ridge Academy, Wiggins, Holy Family High School and
a number of home-schoolers are on the team.
“It helps our numbers having the oth-er schools involved,” he said. Unlike the other sports — like football, basketball and baseball — Diehl and swimmers on the team believe that school rivalries only brings the team closer.
Kylie Coleman, Izzy Pawlak, Cienna Pe-ters, Kendal Smith and Hannah Petersen are some of the returning seniors on the team this season.
Returning for his fifth season, coach Diehl said it’s a lot of fun to have such a
good bunch of kids. “It’s the main thing why I come back every year,” he said. “I wouldn’t do it if it weren’t fun.”
He said the Brighton program has to keep building itself every year. “We have a tradition, and that’s a winning program,” he said. “It’s become a good tradition to have. We always have to keep it in per-spective and we don’t want to become ar-rogant.”
Diehl said Northglenn, Hinkley and Rangeview will present some competition for Brighton this season. “They’ve just both had some better teams in previous
years,” he said.As with other years his goals as a coach
are to get more girls competing at state in the finals. “We want to make a difference and that’s a new challenge for us,” he said.
The Bulldogs have won 13 consecutive league championships and this year is hoping for No. 14.
Diehl said the Bulldogs are a really good team this season and hopes it works out. He overall wants to gain another EMAC Championship and get more state quali-fiers this year.

Dawgs wrestling, ready to make noiseBy Michelle [email protected]
The Brighton High School wrestling team is ready for a huge season.
“We have numbers this year,” Coach Tom Wagner said. “We’re starting the sea-son around 70 strong.”
Returning state qualifiers are seniors; Jared Garcia, Raymond Baca and Dalton Wadkins.
“Dalton is also my returning state placer which is awesome,” he said. “My sophomore and freshmen classes are ab-solutely amazing and are going to make some serious noise in the state the next few years.”
This is Wagner’s eighth year coaching the Bulldogs. Within his own wrestling career, he was a two time 5A State Cham-pion, a three-time regional champion and also a three time Fargo All-American.
When asked what his favorite thing about coaching wrestling was, he said, “Everything. This is what I do.”
He teaches his wrestlers that it’s al-ways a privilege to be a wrestler.
“It teaches you everything about life, and surviving,” he said. “In wrestling its 1-on-1, there’s nobody else to blame, there’s nobody else to hide behind. It’s all “you” and that’s how life is. I preach this to my wrestlers all the time.”
Wagner said the season goals are al-ways to produce state champions and placers, period. The team also wants to be the Top 5 in the state.
“We look forward to our whole sea-son,” he said. “The league is going to be very competitive this year, probably the best I’ve ever seen.”
Brighton’s first home dual is Jan. 7th against Fort Lupton.
“We have four home duals this year, which is exciting,” he said.

Tokio eatery represents promise kept
When Miki Hashimoto closed Japon, an 18-year fixture in Wash Park, it was a shock to our sushi systems.
But the venerable owner, who was lured to the United States 26 years ago at age 15 by the movie “American Graffiti,” promised to return to Denver’s dining scene.
And he’s done just that with the re-cent opening of Tokio, a 60-seat ramen, binchotan grill and sushi spot in the burgeoning Prospect neighborhood at 2907 Huron St.
“Dining at Tokio is the most authen-tic Japanese experience one can have in Denver, and we are very excited to bring the unique flavor of real Japanese ramen, binchotan grilling and im-ported Hakushika sake and spirits to the Prospect neighborhood,” Hashimoto sad. “Tokio transports diners to a small house in Japan where only the freshest, highest quality delicacies are served, and we know that our patrons will taste the difference.”
During the media menu tasting on Nov. 12, Hashimoto and his crew prepared an array of goodies including a spicy B&B roll, vegetarian ramen (with house made noodles) bacon-wrapped asparagus, shumai (dumplings) and yakitori chicken skewers from the bin-chotan (Japanese charcoal) grill.
Each course was paired with sake samplers — four tumblers of sake neatly served on a plate bearing each drink’s name. Tokio’s decor is industrial mini-malistic, designed by Kanji Ueki, who also helped design the original Apple retail stores.
Downstairs is the hopping and hap-pening space with sushi bar seating and a long community table made from a piece of ash that Hashimoto found in Longmont.
Upstairs is a more romantic and intimate surrounding with a sake bar. Parking is available in the lot behind the restaurant, and reservations can be made at www.mytokio.com or by calling 720-639-2911.
Ah, that DIA diningThrillist.com, the website that brings
you all the lists you never knew you needed to know, has compiled “Every important American airport ranked by its food/drink.” Coming in at a respectable No. 8 — out of 72 — is Denver International Airport. Here’s how Thrillist made its picks:
“We did it like this: First, we broke down every essential airport by the number of planes that fly in, plus region so every state was included. Then we looked up every single restaurant and bar available at each spot, and broke the airports down into four tiers. Once we had the tiers, we went deeper and figured out our proper rankings, paying particular attention to two factors: a) whether the options were unique and il-lustrative of the foods of that region, and b) the quantity of quality places avail-able. But we tried to weigh the first fac-tor higher, so smaller airports with more local food got more credit than massive places with 85 chains.”

Grand Budapest holiday Arvada Center runs ‘She Loves Me’ for the seasonBy Clarke [email protected]
The holidays are a hectic time for everybody, so it’s important to pause and consider what make this time of year special.
The Arvada Center is giving theater-goers a chance to do just that with “She Loves Me” — a show from
the golden age of musicals by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick (the creative team behind “Fiddler on the Roof”).
“She Loves Me” runs at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., from Nov. 25 through Dec. 21. Performances are Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m.,
Wednesday at 1 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m.
“This show comes from the prime time of musicals — everyone knows shows like ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ and ‘Guys and Dolls,’” said actress Jennifer Lorae. “I think this show is just as sophisticated as any of the others of the era.”
The story follows Georg (Andrew Russell) and Amalia (Julia Jackson), a pair of feuding clerks in a Eu-ropean parfumerie in Budapest during the 1930s. The two share a desire for depth and love in their lives and appear to find comfort in their anonymous romantic pen pals. Little do they know that their pen pals are each other.
They are joined in the farcical fracas by shop owner Mr. Maraczek (Mark Rubald) and employee Ilona Ritter (Lorae).
“The play is in part about the different masks we wear and how they hide different personalities,” Rub-ald said. “There are rich characters and storyline with
some darker moments that add to their depth.”The play starts in the summer and moves to
Christmas, capturing the excitement and celebra-tion that accompanies the season. This tone finds its way into the show’s song and dance numbers, which incorporate nods to carols throughout.
“There are a few big numbers throughout that create a very ensemble feel,” Russell said. “A lot of the songs are very patter-based — they have a lot of words and are really fun.”
The actors spoke highly of the sets, costumes and dialogue in setting the scene of a classic European city. While the darkening mood on the continent isn’t mentioned directly, Lorae said there is an undercur-rent of desperation in some of the characters and their actions that hints at what’s to come.
Those dark moments don’t distract from the celebratory nature of the play, or the very things it celebrates.
“The best thing is a show about love,” Rus-sell said. “That’s something they’re all aspiring for - love with family and kids. They’re all dreamers.”
There are a lot of holiday shows that go heavy on the season, like “A Christmas Carol” and “Miracle on 34th Street,” but “She Loves Me” goes for something else — the elegance and comedy of a charming love story.
“I feel like the nic-est people come to the Arvada Center for holidays,” Jackson said. “It ends up being a really great holiday show.”
For more in-formation call 720-898-7200 or visit www.arvadacenter.org.

Mountain high (though not at the airport), this place is a delight, and not just because Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs hot dogs are `delivered directly from New Jersey.’ They’ve also got a Boulder Beer Taphouse, a New Bel-gium Hub, Ben & Jerry’s, an outpost of Denver’s incred-ible Root Down, some sort of Russian coffee place, and Elway’s, because no airport is complete without a restaurant or bar from someone who played or coached local professional sports.”

Retiring? Check Wheat RidgeWheat Ridge was named one of the nation’s best cit-
ies for retirement, according to a new ranking released Monday by Livability.com. The city was ranked fifth on Livability’s 2014 Best Places to Retire list — the only Colorado city to make the cut.
Livability cited Wheat Ridge’s numerous bike trails, fitness centers, nearby mountains and ski resorts as important amenities for active retirees. Through its research, Livability found that Wheat Ridge was one of the healthiest cities it examined, with the highest percentage of residents who exercise out of all the cities on this list. The site also factored in Wheat Ridge’s sup-port groups, abundant shopping opportunities, great restaurants, low crime and excellent health care into its ranking.
Also working in Wheat Ridge’s favor is the homestead exemption Colorado provides to eligible residents 65 and older. In addition, Livability noted that Colorado residents 55 and older receive a generous retirement-income exclusion from state taxes. At 7.5 percent, Wheat Ridge’s sales tax is also lower than the national average of 9.6 percent.
“We are thrilled to have Livability recognize the high quality of life that we enjoy in Wheat Ridge,” said Wheat Ridge Mayor Joyce Jay. “For residents who want easy access to both an array of outdoor amenities and all Denver has to offer, we’re hard to beat.”

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF NOV 17, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A long-sought workplace change could be happening soon. Consider reworking your ideas and preparing a presentation just in case. A personal relationship takes a new turn.
TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your persuasiveness doesn’t really start to kick in until midweek. By then, you can count on having more supporters in your camp, including some you doubted would ever join you.
GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Your workload is still high, but -- good news! -- you should start to see day-light by the week’s end. Reserve the weekend for fun and games with friends and loved ones. You deserve it.
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Regardless of how frus-trating things are, keep that “Crab” under control. A cutting comment you might think is apt right now will leave others hurting for a long time to come.
LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Be more sensitive to the emotions of loved ones who might feel left out while you’re stalking that new opportunity. Be sure to make it up to them this weekend. A nice surprise could be waiting.
VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22)The gregarious Virgo rarely has a problem making new friends. But repair-ing frayed relationships doesn’t come easily. Still, if it’s what you want to do, you’ll find a way. Good luck.
LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A misunderstanding with a partner or spouse needs to be worked out before it turns into something really nasty. Forget about your pride for now and make that first healing move.
SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Communication domi-nates the week. Work out any misunderstandings with co-workers. Also get back in touch with old friends and those family members you rarely see.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21)As busy as your week is, make time for someone who feels shut out of your life. Your act of kindness could later prove to be more significant than you might have realized.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Congratulations. Your busy workweek leads to some very satisfying results. Sports and sporting events are high on your weekend activities aspect. Enjoy them with family and friends.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Your generosity of spirit reaches out once again to someone who needs reassurance. There might be problems, but keeping that line of communication open eventually pays off.
PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) You are among the truth-seekers in the universe, so don’t be surprised to find yourself caught up in a new pursuit of facts to counter what you believe is an insidious exercise in lying.
BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in loyalty and in keeping secrets. All things considered, you would probably make a perfect secret agent.

NORDIC WALKING – Turkey Trot 5-K
LAST YEAR a small but mighty group of Nordic Walk-ers participated in Brighton’s Turkey Trot, a 5K race/walk that benefits the Eagle View Adult Center. They had so much fun we are asking all senior walkers to join them at the 30th annual Turkey Trot, billed as the flattest 5-K race in Colorado. Join and meet up as a group but walk/run at your pace during the race.
Nordic walkers will start at the rear of the race so crowd is in front of you. It’s all about fun and raising money for Eagle View. Fee includes T-shirt, breakfast bur-ritos, entry to prize drawings. Awards given to top three finishers in each age and gender category for walkers and runners. After the race visit with vendors and a chance to win other prizes that will be raffled off by bib number. Registration forms at Eagle View or the recreation center front desk. Turn your form and money into Donna at Eagle
View by Friday, Nov. 14, so we can coordinate our group. Dress warm and have fun. The event is Satur-day, Nov. 22; check-in is at 7:30 a.m. in the gym and the race begins at 8:30 a.m. at the Brighton Recreation Center, 555 N. 11th Ave.
