Thornton to seek new council memberAppointment to replace newly-elected county commissioner Eva HenryBy Darin [email protected]
Thornton will search for a new Ward 2 representative following Eva Henry’s elec-tion as the new Adams County commis-sioner for District 1.
Henry will replace longtime county commissioner W.R. “Skip” Fischer at the end of the year, but and has two years left in
her term as council member.City communications manager Todd
Barnes said the city charter allows council to appoint another community member to fill a vacancy and serve the remainder of his or her term.
While most council members elected by citizens are allowed to serve a maximum of two four-year term, Barnes said the person appointed to assume Henry’s position may
only serve one additional term after finish-ing her remaining one.
Barnes said there are no set dates at this time for council to consider this issue.
Thornton city clerk Nancy Vincent said the last time a council member was ap-pointed to fill a vacant seat happened in 2007, when former Ward 4 city councilman Erik Hansen was elected to serve as the city’s mayor. Charles E. Stevenson was later
appointed in December 2007 to fill Han-sen’s vacated Ward 4 seat.
Hansen has served as the District 3 Ad-ams County commissioner since being elected in November 2010.
Vincent said the appointment process should have negligible financial impacts to the city, since the only costs incurred would be the paper ballots printed for city council members.
Deputy cleared in fatal tra�c stop shootingBy Darin [email protected]
An Adams County Sheriff’s Of-fice deputy who shot and killed 40-year-old Adams County resi-dent in February has been cleared of wrongdoing following an eight-month investigation.
The Adams County Critical In-cident Team found that Deputy Wilfred Europe was justified in
shooting Don Alan Cambron dur-ing a routine traffic stop near 63rd Avenue and Federal Boulevard in unincorporated Adams County.
In a letter to Sheriff Doug Darr, Adams County District Attorney Don Quick wrote that no criminal charges will be filed against Eu-rope.
According to Quick’s letter, the shooting happened after Cam-bron and three acquaintances,
Thomas Hibdon, Timothy Collins, and Michelle Meyers, were pulled over by a deputy for a traffic viola-tion.
The report said that deputy soon called for additional help “because he felt that the circum-stances and actions of the parties in the car were strange.”
Europe, one of the responding officers, and three other deputies then proceeded to Collins, who
had a history of prior drug abuse and was known to have “violent tendencies,” after discovering he had two outstanding warrants for his arrest in Idaho.
While Collins was being ar-rested, one of the deputies yelled, “Gun! Gun! Gun!” followed by “Don’t Move! Don’t Move!” com-mands by Europe after Cambron was believed to be reaching for a gun while in the car.
Europe fired a total of four shots afterward, according to the report. The gun that deputies be-lieved Cambron was reaching for was later determined to be a pellet gun.
Cambron was taken by ambu-lance to Denver Health hospital, where he died several hours later.
The report concluded that Eu-rope’s actions were justified be-cause he was known to be a police
officer, had a reasonable belief of imminent deadly force and was concerned for the his safety and the safety of others based on sev-eral circumstances.
“The prosecution could not disprove that Deputy Europe rea-sonably believed that there was a credible and life threatening circumstance endangering him and his fellow officers,” the report read.
Adams County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Paul Gregory said Europe was placed on administra-tive leave following the incident and is still employed by the Sher-iff’s Office. Gregory said the Sher-iff’s Office had no further com-ment on the case.
Phone calls left for Collins at a Loveland address were not re-turned before press time.
Teen �nds power in jewelry makingHarding overcomes challenges
By Darin [email protected]
For Northglenn resident Rachael Harding, jewelry making is more than just a hobby or a passion that has grown over the years — it is a strand of strength that keeps her grounded.
“I love it so much,” Ra-chael said as she walked through the finished base-ment of her home that now serves as her work space. “If I showed you my room, I have so much jewelry.”
Those closest to her say it has been this same growth of strength and pas-sion that has allowed the 15-year-old honors student to overcome challenges and start her own jewelry line launched two years ago.
But, getting to this point has not been easy.
One of the most difficult challenges Rachael has had to face for most of her child-hood are the residual effects of stage 3 Lyme disease, a debilitating disease that causes continual muscle weakness, numbness and tingling.
Rachael’s mother, Jen-nifer Harding, said her daughter contracted the disease when she was 7, but was not properly diagnosed until she was about 9 or 10.
Over the years, Jennifer said her daughter missed school days because of the disease’s residual effects, and cannot participate in activities that many people take for granted, such as hiking, playing sports or go-ing to the mall with friends.
Jennifer said she en-rolled Rachael in a jewelry making class at the North-glenn Recreation Center when she was about 9 to give her an outlet for her creative talents.
“It became something that she could do physical-ly to fill the time when she wasn’t working on school work,” Jennifer said. “You become pretty isolated when you’re sick and away from school and friends, so it gave her an outlet to do that.”
From then on, Rachael said she learned how to make more complicated types of jewelry, such as
clay beads, metal working, and wire working, by read-ing books in between her school work.
Rachael initially made necklaces and earrings for friends and family and oc-casionally sold a few pieces at garage sales, but decided to launch her own online jewelry business as she got better. She was only 13 when her jewelry line launched two years ago un-der 2studystrings — a name symbolizing the mother-and-daughter bond and interest in jewelry that Ra-chael and Jennifer share.
“Rachael has kind of al-ways had that spirit,” Jen-nifer said. “The day that she actually launched her business, when she was 13-years-old, was a great one, because it showed that she could follow through all the way with something. To see that come to fruition and actually become a busi-ness is great.”

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.

Eyeing shoe box goal Boxes delivered to children in more than 100 countries By Darin Moriki [email protected]
A large Christmas tree and stacks of brightly deco-rated shoe boxes mark the entrance of the North Metro Church in Thornton, where signs of the festive season are not diffi cult to fi nd.
While the Christmas cheer may only come around once a year, church volunteers and worship-pers say they are hoping that this year’s charitable efforts through Operation Christmas Child will spread the festive spirit to children around the world.
Operation Christmas Child, which began nearly 40 years ago by interna-tional Christian relief orga-nization Samaritan’s Purse, allows people to donate shoe boxes fi lled with sim-ple presents, such as hy-giene items, toys or school supplies to impoverished children in more than 100 countries.
This year, Operation Christmas Child volunteer Cathy Collins said North Metro Church is now serv-ing as a relay center, where more than 400 churches and community organiza-tions in the northern Den-ver area, can drop off their donations.
Collins said those dona-tions are then taken to a processing center in Long-mont, where the boxes are
sorted and inspected be-fore they are mailed to the Samaritan’s Purse head-quarters in Boone, N.C., and then shipped to par-ticipating countries around Christmas.
Karen Mygatt, the Op-eration Christmas Child’s North Denver area coor-dinator, estimates about 8,650 boxes were collected last year.
This year, she said she is hoping that north Denver churches and organizations in Westminster, Thornton, Northglenn, Broomfi eld and Boulder will reach the area’s goal of 9,000 shoe boxes.
“The most important thing is having these chil-dren know that someone cares about them,” Karen Mygatt, the Operation Christmas Child’s North Denver area coordinator, said. “It gives them some measure of hope, because these are really destitute ar-eas in really diffi cult times. It is a really heartwarming feeling when people give boxes, because it’s touching to give to children who don’t really have anything.”
Operation Christmas Child volunteer Nancy Tru-jillo said she understands the importance of how seemingly simple gifts can mean to children, who in some cases, have nothing after going on a month-long mission trip to South Africa, Zambia, Zaire and Mozam-bique.
“It got us wanting to do more,” Trujillo said as she unloaded about 30 boxes from her van into the North Metro Church’s entrance.
“These gifts mean so much to those children, because many don’t have anything. We may get gifts once a year, but these children don’t get anything.”
For more information about Operation Christmas Child, contact North Den-ver area coordinator Karen Mygatt at 303-877-5334 or [email protected].

“The Respected Leader In The Industry Since 1974”
New development given green light By Darin Moriki [email protected]
Adams County commis-sioners unanimously ap-proved initial plans for the Clear Creek Transit Village.
The decision came dur-ing its Nov. 5 public meeting following fi ve hours of testi-monies, and a mixture of support and concerns from area residents, businesses and developers.
“This is not necessarily an easy decision,” said Dis-trict 3 County Commission-er Erik Hansen before the vote. “I don’t think it’s very easy for people to see things change in their neighbor-hood … but on the other hand, we have some serious problems on Federal Boule-vard. We have to do this — it is important to redevelop and revitalize this part of Adams County.”
The proposed project, at 6001 Federal Blvd. and spearheaded by New Or-leans, La.-based developer The TOD Group, calls for
the construction of no more than 1,125 residential units and 250,000 square feet of space for commercial or in-dustrial uses on 21.11 acres along Federal Boulevard.
John L. Renne, The TOD Group’s managing direc-tor, said the development’s close proximity to down-town Denver, natural fea-tures and proposed pub-lic transportation routes makes it particularly attrac-tive to real estate agents, home buyers and employ-ers.
An impact assessment and analysis by Parker-based Economic Strategies estimates the project will be valued at $160 to $170 mil-lion when the development is fully built out. The assess-ment also noted the devel-opment would contribute $2.8 to $2.9 million to the county’s tax base, house 1,970 to 2,812 residents and add 40 to 382 permanent jobs and 517 to 850 com-mercial tenant employees.
Proponents say the de-velopment will create jobs,
spur economic develop-ment and become a cata-lyst for cleaning up Federal, while opponents say the development has numer-ous issues that need to be mitigated.
Unincorporated Adams County resident Robert Mc-Coy said the development would have adverse effects on water, parking and traf-fi c to area residents and the engagement process be-tween the developers and area residents were inad-equate.
“The consequences of approving this development are adverse, and they’re not short lived,” McCoy said. “Approving this will cause a loss in confi dence of county staff and government, be-cause the opposition, which is numerous, has expressed their concerns and are not being heard.”
Arvada resident Greg Ellen, who lives about 1.4 miles from the develop-ment, said he has chosen to support the development after hearing both sides of the debate.
“At the end of the day, there are a lot more positive outcomes that outweigh the negatives,” Ellen said. “It’s the right thing to do for the community. We’re all going to have to make sacrifi ces in this … to do the right thing. When I drive to work ev-ery day down Federal, I see what it is and what it can be, and I don’t why anyone in the world would not want to support that.”

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 practicing, 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 Freedom 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 ev-erything 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.

WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER
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.
OUR VIEW
OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
Truth, service missing from dutyMy son is going through a “superhero”
phase right now. His favorite movies are “The Avengers,” “Iron Man” and “Spider Man,” his favorite toys are his “Batman” Legos, and, best of all, the other day as we were about to cross the street, he looked to one side, extended his hands toward an oncoming car, and squeezed the inside fingers of each hand towards his palms and “shot webs” to stop the car.
Nope, no dolls for this little guy — he’s all about the imagination and saving the world. And sound effects — turns out superheroes make much better sounds than dolls.
I remember days, way back when, that I used to dream about having superpowers. My power of choice was flying, the power of unassisted flight always seemed like the coolest of all the superhero skills. Y’know, talking to fish and running really fast are all well and good, but, for my money, flying was always the way to go.
These days I want a different superpow-er, though I suspect it’s just as much of a thing of fantasy as flying. I want the ability to heal; more specifically, I want the ability to heal the divide in this country.
After the most expensive — and most negative — campaign in history, the coun-
try has returned the president to 1600 by the slimmest of popular margins, returned a strong Republican majority to the House of Representatives, and sent more Repub-licans to governor’s seats than two years ago. In other words, the country has voted for divided government, partisan gridlock and more bickering. Even more telling, I saw a graphic the other day that showed you could drive from the Canadian border to the Mexican border, and from the Pacific Ocean to within about 20 miles of the At-lantic Ocean, all without passing through a single county that voted for President Obama.
People in Jefferson County know all about this divide, because we enjoyed the glorious distinction of being a “swing” county. That’s why the candidates spent
so much time here, and why we were buried in ugly advertising for the last nine months. And, for all that, I really doubt that anybody’s minds were changed. Sure, there were a handful of people who didn’t make up their minds early who were influenced by the late barrage of advertising. But for the most part, this became an argument, not about which way was better, or which principles should guide us, but about who was the scariest person for the next four years. Hardly the stuff of Washington, Jef-ferson and Lincoln.
We should expect better. And I’m going to start to propose a way forward, starting with First Principles. Maybe we can’t all agree on First Principles, and maybe we can; I’m not reaching into any deep arcane list for my FPs. I’m going to try to keep it pretty simple. Ignore this if you want, and forgive me if this sounds preachy or sanctimonious, but I suspect that our revulsion over the last nine months will be repeated in four years if we don’t start to force change. And if our revulsion becomes the norm, then how can we hope to bring the country together?
First of all, we have got to start making our First Duty to be to the Truth. I know some wit said “truth is the first victim of
any campaign,” but I don’t think we should be so casual with the Truth. It’s not good enough to spin, or to interpret, but we should just speak to the Truth. If your par-ty, your candidate, your issue, your organi-zation is reluctant to deal with Truth, then there has to be a consequence for that. We can’t continue to return corrupt people to government and places of power, and then wonder why government is corrupt.
And secondly, can we re-prioritize Service? On this week, when we honor our veterans, let’s honor their service and sacri-fice by remembering that nobody ever took an oath to a party or president — they took oaths to the Constitution and served for the person on their left and on their right.
Maybe I’m making too much of this; then again, maybe we’ve all just lowered our expectations too far. There is no Super-man to save us from ourselves, though, if we continue to let the political season be this trivial.

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 deci-sion, 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 �naleBy 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.

North MetroLIFE Mapleton seeks Race to the Top grant funds School o� cials say $20 million requestwill allay summer learning loss
By Darin Moriki d m o r i k i @ o u r c o l o r a -donews.com
Mapleton Public Schools students may be-gin to experience shorter summer breaks and ex-tended learning times over the next few years.
The proposed school calendar, which consists of fi ve eight- to nine-week sessions with two- to three-week breaks between each session, was one of two ar-eas targeted for improve-ment in Mapleton’s most recent $20 million Race to the Top grant application request.
Mapleton Public Schools Assistant Superin-tendent Jackie Kapushion said the staggered 185-day “student-centered calen-dar” with a delineated mix-ture of classroom-based instruction and enrich-ment programs “would re-duce or eliminate summer learning loss and acceler-ate growth and achieve-ment of our students.”
“Race to the Top pre-sented a great opportunity for us to launch this plan,” Kapushion said. “It’s the best thing we can do for our students to make sure they are college and career ready.”
Mapleton communi-cations specialist Melissa Johnson said the grant would also allow the dis-trict to advance reform ef-forts implemented nearly a decade ago.
At that time, Mapleton took bold steps to improve test scores and graduation rates by shuttering all its comprehensive schools,
including fi ve elemen-tary schools, two middle schools and one high school.
The school district then reopened 16 smaller schools with unique mod-els and instructional de-signs, such as Expedition-ary Learning, Big Picture, Early College, Internation-al Baccalaureate, Montes-sori, STEM (Science, Tech-nology, Engineering and Math), science and inquiry and online schools.
Kapushion said the grant would allay insuf-fi cient funding issues that prevented the district from fully implementing these
school models.“We are seeing the re-
sults of districtwide rein-vention implemented 10 years ago,” Kapushion said in an e-mail. “Standard-ized test scores are up, ACT scores, and college admis-sion and attendance rates are up. But there is still a lot of work to be done to bring our students to the achievement level we know they are capable of.”
Kapushion said the dis-trict has not sought out other grants to fund these two endeavors but hopes to deploy these plans even if it does not receive Race to the Top funds.

10 Northglenn-Thornton Sentinel November 15, 201210-COLOR
Where were you born?I was born and raised in Colorado.
How long have you lived in the area?I have lived in many di� erent areas of metro Denver. I
currently live in Westminster and have lived there for 20 years.
What do you like most about it?
Westminster is a great place to live. Westminster’s location between Denver and Boulder puts it within easy reach of re-gional businesses and there is a lot to do right here such as AMC Promenade, great rec-reation centers, golf courses, parks and hiking trails.
How long have you worked in Real Estate?
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!

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 rebuilding 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 traffi c signals, new roadway pavement and new north-
bound Wadsworth to westbound US 36 loop, which will allow for a free traffi c movement without a signal.
All US 36 eastbound traffi c 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 traffi c 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 Oc-cupancy Vehicles.
In addition, the project will replace
several bridges, build a commuter bikeway, add Bus Rapid Transit im-provements, and install Intelligent Transportation Systems for tolling, transit and traveler information, 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.

After two months of sharing infor-mation and collaboration back and forth between Il Mondo Vecchio and the USDA as well as various attempts to modify the produc-tion methods, Il Mondo Vecchio has determined that the impact of the regulatory requirements on dry cured sausage products was detrimental 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 result-ing in what IMV believes to be an inferior product or stop produc-tion.”
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.
All proceeds benefi t the Denver Scholarship Foundation and its mission to inspire and empower Denver Public Schools students to achieve their quest for college.

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 Rock-
mount 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.

Funding available for wildlife habitat improvements Habitat is the single most critical 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 prop-erties and to a lesser extent, the Walk-In Hunting properties.
Since Colorado wildlife nesting, feed-ing and predator protection needs depend heavily on how private agricultural farming and grazing land is management and con-served, one grant funding program was in-troduced some years to bring cooperation and incentives into the mix.
The Habitat Partnership Program ac-cepts applications from any agency, entity, organization or individual (community or agriculture) interested in receiving fi nan-cial assistance in developing a cooperative habitat program.
“This program works,” said Pat Tucker, Habitat Partnership Program coordinator for the division. “We see working partner-ships between (the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife) and agriculture and sportsmen statewide that enhances wild-life populations and reduces game damage claims and confl icts.”
The program funding presents an oppor-tunity for community groups, scout troops, sportsmen groups, agricultural leaders or local governments to come together to im-prove 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 simi-lar improvements that result in protective habitat for wildlife or food sources.
Those interested in proposing a wildlife habitat improvement need to submit an application by February 2013.
The total funding approved by the divi-sion for this program is $500,000. Work on approved projects can begin July 1, 2013, and must be completed by June 30, 2014.
Information and application process and forms are available by calling Pat Tuck-er at 970-255-6188. Rooster pheasants, typical bene� ciaries of habitat improvements in Colorado. Courtesy image

Arapahoe tops Horizon in second roundHawks rally comes up short in fourth quarterBy Jonathan [email protected]
THORNTON - The Horizon football sea-son 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 Friday, but once again shot themselves in the foot at in-opportune moments.
No. 21 Horizon turned the ball over four times and had two scoring plays called back due to penalties, before falling to the Warriors 17-14 at Five Star Stadium.
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 Lake-wood during last year’s state playoffs, 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 Ho-rizon to twice go three-and-out and stalling a drive with an interception in the second quar-ter.
“You don’t know where they are coming from,” Ybarra said. “They bring eight, nine guys, and from every angle and every gap.”
Arapahoe capitalized on Horizon’s strug-gles 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 fin-ished 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 touchdown to cut the Warriors lead to three. However, Horizon turned the ball over on downs the next two possessions and Stackhouse’s pass was inter-cepted 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 touch-down 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, includ-
ing Stackhouse, Rivas, Dante Chand and cap-tains Easton Robbins, 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 Leg-acy 52-6 in the first round and then topped Regis Jesuit 44-3 last week.

Pomona puts down reigning champsOpportunistic Panthers oust Columbine from playo�sBy Daniel [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 champion and 10th-seeded Columbine 42-22 Satur-day at North Area Athletic Complex.
No. 7 Pomona (9-2, 4-1) turned three Col-
umbine (7-4, 3-2) turnovers into 22 points and their defense held the Rebels’ star run-ning back Bernard McDondle to under 100 yards.
Offensively the Panthers were hitting on all cylinders as senior quarterback Alec Feland threw three touchdowns and junior running back Konner Burns added three more.
“You have to beat the state champs in or-der 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 happy 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 ourselves,” 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 early 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 quarter fumbles which they turned into two touchdowns, taking a 29-7 lead into halftime.
Burns would add a pair of fourth quarter 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 defense 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 champions last year in the playoffs but got beat the fol-lowing 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.”

Akindele makes most of return to soccer pitch Legacy grad bounces back from torn ACL, is RMAC Women’s Freshman of Year By Brian Miller [email protected]
DENVER — Sunday, Nov. 4, was a bittersweet day to say the least for Sade Akindele.
The 2011 Legacy graduate, play-ing in her fi rst Rocky Mountain Ath-letic Conference Tournament with Regis University, saw the dream of a conference title end with a 1-0 loss to Colorado School of Mines on the Regis campus.
Akindele then joined her team-mates and dozens of Regis fans as the Rangers men’s team also took on Mines in the RMAC tourney title game. Regis was handed its fi rst loss of the season, though Akindele’s brother, Tesho, was honored as tournament MVP for the Orediggers after scoring the game’s fi rst goal.
“It’s always an interesting kind of confl ict for me,” Sade said before the start of the men’s game. “I always tell them I want my brother to score two but Regis to score three. I just wish the best for both teams.”
Although both Regis programs lost Sunday, the teams still qualifi ed for the NCAA Division II National Cham-pionships, which get underway this week. The Rangers’ women’s team faces Mines again Thursday in the fi rst round in Dallas.
Akindele is just happy to be playing again. A torn ACL sustained late in her senior year at Legacy kept the 6-foot forward sidelined all of last season. She has blossomed this fall though, leading Regis with 14 goals and 34 points, and she was recently chosen as the RMAC Women’s Freshman of the Year.
“It was a shock, but in such a great way,” Akindele said. “I really appre-
ciate it and didn’t expect it. It was re-ally nice to know that my year of rehab paid off.”
A standout in soccer and basketball at Legacy, Akindele admitted she didn’t quite know how to handle the injury at fi rst, but said the support of her Regis teammates helped her get through last season.
“I’ve never been injured, so it was defi nitely quite a change,” Akindele said. “Especially for an entire year not playing the game you love to play - now I just appreciate every game I have.”
Akindele scored a pair of goals last Friday in a semifi nal victory over Fort Lewis, and Mines made sure to mark her every time the ball came her way Sunday. Orediggers coach Kevin Fickes credited his defense for not al-
lowing Akindele to turn with the ball, but acknowledged what a threat she has become for the Rangers.
“She still played some dangerous passes,” Fickes said. “She is a very high-quality player and she’s had a great freshman year.”
Getting to play in her fi rst D-II tour-nament will certainly help ease the sting of Sunday’s loss, but Akindele was still disappointed that Regis didn’t come away with a conference title on its home fi eld.
“Unfortunately we didn’t come playing our game today,” Akindele said. “We allowed ourselves to settle more into a defensive strategy, which isn’t what we play. Especially giving up that fi rst goal put us on the defense, and we weren’t able to respond the way we hoped we would.”

Sports Roundup: Holy Family falls to Pueblo East By Jonathan Maness [email protected]
PUEBLO - For the second consecutive season the Holy Family football 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 offense, falling 49-28 at Dutch Clark Stadium in Pueblo.
The Eagles’ star running back Derion Ibarra torched Holy Family’s defense for 308 yards and three touchdowns.
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 con-
nected with Matt Erb on a 25-yard touchdown pass. The Eagles responded by scoring the next 21 points, Sommers did add a touchdown 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 touchdown pass on the opening possession of the second half, but the Eagles offense couldn’t be contained.
Erb fi nished the game with 159 receiving yards on sev-en 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.
ALL-STATE HONORS: Community Christian’s Sophia Proano was chosen to participate in the Class 1A Colorado Coaches of Girls’ Sports All-State volleyball game, which will be played at 9 a.m. on Sunday at Arvada High School.
Proano fi nished the season with 413 kills, which was third best in the state. She also was chosen the 5280 player of the year. Proano and Community Christian fi nished the season with a 15-9 record.
