Biden urges strength to stop domestic violence Vice president speaks at agency in Denver By Vic Vela [email protected]

Vice President Joe Biden came to Den-ver on Sept. 19 to urge men to stand up against domestic violence, saying that men have “an absolute obligation to intervene when you see violence taking place.”

“That’s manhood,” the vice president said. “That’s being a man.”

Biden gave his passionate remarks prior to taking part in a round-table discussion on domestic violence at a Safehouse Den-ver offi ce on Capitol Hill. The organization provides services and shelter for battered women.

Biden’s trip marks the 20th anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act, which he spearheaded as a U.S. senator.

Biden recalled some pushback at the time of the legislation, saying that some used to consider domestic violence “a family mat-ter.” The vice president thanked the press for covering that effort 20 years ago, saying the media was “the reason why we’ve been able to put a face on domestic violence.”

Biden’s remarks came just a couple of hours after National Football League Com-missioner Roger Goodell apologized to fans for his handling of recent incidents involving domestic violence among league stars.

“I would respectfully suggest to you had what has gone on in the NFL in the last four weeks been reported in 1984, I doubt very much it would get the coverage it’s getting now,” Biden said, in a nod to the changing cultural attitudes toward domestic violence.

Biden was fl anked by Denver Mayor Mi-chael Hancock and domestic-violence ad-vocates and survivors.

Hancock — whose sister was shot 12 years as part of ongoing domestic violence suffered at the hands of her boyfriend — praised Biden’s work on the issue.

The mayor also touted the soon-to-be built Rose Andom Center — named after a domestic violence survivor who sat next to the vice president — which will serve as a “one-stop shop” for domestic-violence vic-tims to receive care and services. The cen-

ter will have on-site police, magistrates and child and pet care services.

“Our goal here today is to shed light on the issue of domestic violence in our com-munity,” Hancock said.

Biden reminded the audience that vio-lence isn’t unique to certain groups of peo-ple. He said that gays and lesbians are also victims, as are undocumented immigrant women, who may fear deportation by going to the police to report abuse.

And Biden urged college students to step up whenever a violent act against a woman seems imminent.

“Turning away when you see a fraternity brother take an obviously, completely, thor-oughly drunk young woman and head to his room, you have a moral obligation — you are a coward if you do not stop him,” Biden said.

Biden’s visit was also meant to call at-tention to a newly launched White House campaign that calls attention to domestic violence. The campaign, called “It’s on Us,” asks every man in America to sign an online pledge to intervene in incidents involving domestic violence.

Biden said one of the ways the society “wins” the fi ght against domestic violence is when men realize that certain actions are never acceptable.

“(We win) when every young man in America knows there is not a single circum-stance that exists that justifi es any man in this room or this nation raising a hand to a woman, other than in self-defense,” he said.

Bully prevention campaign highlighted in council meeting By Lou Ellen Bromley [email protected]

Brighton City Council passed a resolution Tuesday to recognize and support the efforts of Brighton Kiwanis Club, Brighton’s Police De-partment, school districts 27J and Adams 14, and other organizations and businesses to help educate and provide resources to stop bullying within our schools.

These organizations are spon-soring a Predator A.W.A.R.E. Fair at the Old City Hall building on 4th Avenue and Bridge Street, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4. Admission is free.

Amanda Griffin, president of Brighton’s Kiwanis Club told city council members that this is the second year they have helped to bring this problem to light by hav-ing this fair. It was estimated that 160,000 students skip school every day in the United States to avoid be-

ing bullied.Everyone is encouraged to at-

tend fair to learn what resources are available to them and how they can be empowered and inspired to take a stand against bullying.

September is National Prepared-ness Month, and city council passed a resolution to encourage Brighton business and residents to develop an emergency plan for their homes, business and families in case of a natural disaster or any other type of emergency that could occur.

A list is available to anyone who would like to know what type of things that should be included in a kit to have ready in case of an emer-gency. Brighton residents are en-couraged to go to Ready.gov and on Listo.gov to find instructions and lists of items needed in an emer-gency.

Saturday, Sept. 27, will be the 21st year celebration of National Public Lands Day and Brighton city coun-

cil members are asking residents to help in celebrating and recognizing this day, by going out and exploring the local parks, trails, wildlife areas and other public lands in the area.

Council members also voted on a resolution in support of school district 27J’s November school bond election. Council members all stated the amount of growth in the Brighton, Thornton and Commerce City area has brought about the need for more schools to be built to provide room for incoming stu-dents in the district and the need to improve existing schools to accom-modate the growing district.

Superintendent Chris Fiedler and Chief Operations Officer Terry Lucero were on hand at the meeting to explain the needs of the school district and how each school within 27J will benefit if the bond is passed in November.

Running with a

competitive h e a r t

Prairie View’s Morgan Taylor loves her cross-country team By Michelle Boyer [email protected]

Prairie View High School junior Morgan Taylor runs cross-country to race.

“I’m competitive, and racing is pure competition,” she said. “It’s more raw and powerful than other sports.”

She started running cross-country last year and ran her best time then of 20:38 for a 5K race.

In middle school she ran track, but the school didn’t offer cross-country. Sixth grade was when she ran her first distance race in track.

“My season so far has been good, but I have a lot to improve on before leagues and regionals,” she said.

“My times haven’t been where I want them to be, but we’ve had a busy racing schedule lately and has calmed down now, so I can focus on improving my time. Though it sounds cliché, the team has been working very hard to improve our scores and to adapt to our new racing strategy.”

One of Taylor’s goals this season is to qualify for state.

During her offseason she competes in track.“I do track, and I actually don’t run at all,” she said.

“I wished I did though.” In the triple jump she jumps 33 feet, 2 inches, the high jump 4 feet 10 inches and long jump 16 feet and 7 inches.

“Track and cross-country are kind of oppos-ing forces for me,” she said. “Running distance and jumping don’t go together well, but I can’t give either of them up.”

Her favorite thing about cross-country is her team.

“We get along, we are all close friends, even out-side of cross country,” Taylor said.

“My least favorite thing is the energy it takes to put in the mileage I need is very tiring and I notice my fatigue increase with the amount of racing and training we have to do.”

This season Taylor is the first varsity runner on the girls’ side. She received the Golden Hawk Award (PVHS version of the MVP award) at the team’s sec-ond race of the season.

“Morgan is a great athlete,” Coach Nathan Shaver said. “In track, she concentrates on jumping. She’s a little-found combination of great endurance and fast twitch muscle. She has great jumps and terrific speed, but also has a great stride and running form for distance.”

Predator A.W.A.R.E. fair scheduled Fair to teach ways to protection By Lou Ellen Bromley [email protected]

“Helping and protecting our youth is exactly what this event is about,” stated Brighton Kiwanis Club president Amanda Griffi n.

The Kiwanis Club of Brighton along with the City of Brighton, school districts 27J and Adams 14, Brighton Police Department, Jef-ferson County District Attorney CSOII Unit,

5 Star Martial Arts, and Pennock Center for Counseling are among the organiza-tions hosting the Predator A.W.A.R.E. fair at Brighton’s Old City Hall, Oct. 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This educational and fun event is de-signed to help educate parents and children how to protect themselves from predatory behaviors and is free to the public.

The fair will include educational semi-nars for both parents and children by na-tional and regional experts, giving both the opportunity to take part in activities de-signed to teach them what steps they can

take to protect themselves. 5 Star Martial Arts will be demonstrating some basic self-defense maneuvers for the youth attending the fair, provided by certifi ed Tai Kwon Do instructors.

Guests at the fair will also be able to take part in a youth/peer-led anti-bullying dis-cussion forum designed to show parents and children how to stop bulling. It esti-mated that over 160,000 students avoid go-ing to school every day in the United States for fear of being bullied.

Other topics to be covered at the fair will include how to protect children from

on-line predators, child traffi cking, and the exploitation of children, identity theft and physical attack and much more.

“It is unfortunate we live in a world where we have to worry about things like sexual predators, child traffi cking, and other predatory behaviors against youth, but the reality today is that if we don’t raise awareness, we leave our youth wide open to tragedy.” Griffi n said.

This event is designed to be fun as well as educational and everyone is encouraged to bring their kids and participate in the fair.

Dental care free to low-income, uninsured Colorado Mission of Mercy Clinic to provide treatment By Michelle Boyer [email protected]

As many as 1,500 children and adults will have smiles on Oct. 3-4.

The Colorado Mission of Mercy Clinic (COMOM) will have more than 1,000 vol-unteer dentists, hygienists, health profes-sionals and members from the community at Prairie View High School, 12909 E. 120th Ave., in Henderson, to provide free dental treatment and education.

“We’re thrilled to come back to the Ad-ams County area,” Molly Pereira, COMOM

board member said. “Prairie View High School has been helpful and even resched-uled a home football game. The school dis-trict also created an in-service day on Oct. 3 making it available so we can have access to school and people to help.”

Colorado Mission of Mercy clinic was last in Brighton in 2009.

“The turnout was, by far, our largest that we’ve ever had,” she said. “This year we’ll be transforming PVHS into a 125-chair dental clinic serving both kids and adults. Patients are seen fi rst come, fi rst served, and we’ll be offering hygiene, restorative and oral sur-gery services.”

People should expect to come as early as possible as the doors open at 6 a.m. Once the clinic is full (usually by 10 a.m.), the

doors for the day will be closed to get those patients cared for.

“We’re estimating that we can treat about 1,500 low-income, dentally uninsured adult and children in two days,” she said. “We’ll also be offering free fl u shots.”

Care will be provided on a fi rst-come, fi rst-served basis with no advanced ap-pointments available to be made. Those ages 18-and-younger must be accompa-nied by an adult to receive services.

Dental professionals from across Colo-rado have united for this cause, and will be donating their services; cleanings, fi llings, extractions and limited oral surgery. At this year’s clinic fl u shots will also be available.

“Access to dental care is a huge problem for many families,” Dr. Nick Chiovitti, CO-

MOM site chair said, “Thousands of indi-viduals can’t eat, sleep, concentrate at work or function because of oral pain. COMOM was established to help those who cannot afford dental care with their most urgent dental needs.”

More patient information can be found at COMOM.org.

County pays $9.6 million for Westminster site Park 1200 will house Human Services Department Sta� Report

Adams County will pay $9.6 million to purchase the 297,000 square-foot Park 1200 property at 1200 W. 120th Ave., in Westmin-ster. The site will be the future home of the Adams County Human Services Depart-ment and other offi ces that provide direct services to Adams County residents.

“This property provides an opportu-nity for our citizens to have a location near signifi cant transportation infrastructure to receive our services,” said Board Chair Charles “Chaz” Tedesco. When completed, the Park 1200 property will also deliver re-lief for employees in three facilities who have been working in tight quarters.

“These employees perform some of the most sensitive and important work in the county and for years they’ve been practi-cally working right on top of each other,” said Tedesco.

An early timeline has construction and renovation scheduled to begin during the fi rst quarter of 2015, with a targeted com-pletion date in March 2017. Three current county buildings will eventually be sold with proceeds dedicated to the purchase and construction of the Park 1200 property.

Once complete, an estimated 750 em-ployees from Adams County’s Human Ser-vices Department, Child and Family Center, Head Start and Workforce & Business Cen-ter will make the transition to the new loca-tion. Approximately 20,000 square feet will remain unfi nished to accommodate future growth.

“It’s exciting to know that we will soon have a more convenient location for the residents of Adams County,” said County Manager Todd Leopold. “This facility will meet the needs of residents and staff and is a much more cost effective option for tax-payers when compared to new construc-tion.”

Commissioners Tedesco, Eva Henry and Erik Hansen all voted unanimously approve the purchase of the Park 1200 property.

OPINIONY O U R S & O U R S

Business translates smoke signals The brown cloud that used to hover

over downtown Denver was not so evident when walking on the 16th Street Mall, but very clear from afar — let’s from say the Thornton Parkway exit on Interstate 25. In a similar way, others may have a good perch to size up a public perception cloud over Colorado since recreational mari-juana was recently legalized.

The Metro Denver Economic Develop-ment Corp. took just such an opportunity to query business leaders at its 2014 Metro Denver Site Selection Conference Friday at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. The question was posed to an invited panel of site selection experts — those in-volved in the analysis of choosing the best cities and regions to locate companies in labor, incentives, tax advantages, trans-portation access and quality of life.

When asked about the impact of legal-ized recreational marijuana, Shinobu Yoshitomi of Colorado Frontiers Con-sulting said people in Japan were a little shocked at the development. She said they ask if there is more crime, if children are safe and if the streets are more dangerous because of drivers smoking marijuana. Joseph Vranich of Spectrum Location Solutions in California said people are concerned about cultural deterioration, adding marijuana can be seen as a con-

tributing negative.Some on the panel said the change is

relatively unremarkable to some busi-nesses considering relocation to Colorado, and noted the lighter side of the issue. One panelist noted when out-of-staters fi nd out he is from Colorado, he is jokingly asked if he has any weed.

Nonetheless Yoshitomi stressed that the state should communicate that the law has not had a major impact on crime rates to assure foreign companies considering Colorado. Others at the conference agreed efforts should be made to clarify actual impacts.

We do agree the state should partner with businesses to show exactly how recre-ational marijuana is affecting the state. Of course, the revenue from marijuana sales tax going to good use, but we believe the more important piece is to show exactly how recreational marijuana affects the state in terms of crime as time goes on, how it is affecting education and — in an overarching way — summing how it impacts quality of life.

No doubt, concerns are expressed every day.

In conversations with teachers, we are told marijuana is now more available to students, and to generalize students known to smoke often experience de-clining grades. And in our day-to-day observations, we are more likely to see motorists smoking a pipe with marijuana at intersections than in past years. Driving while high — whatever the substance — is a problem, and a top issue for the state to address.

The recent launch of a public ser-vice campaign “Don’t Be a Lab Rat” with people-sized lab rat cages, to warn high school students and all those under 21 about potential risks of marijuana use is certainly edgy, but discourse generators are welcome as ongoing research seeks to better identify health risks.

Now that recreational marijuana is legal, the state’s challenge is to make sure it does no damage to innocent bystand-ers or the overall quality of life. For those who smoke or consume edibles the pros and cons, and best practices of using the drug should be made clear as well. We’re proud to be a destination state, and it doesn’t take much time on our soil for people to take a shine to Colorado. Let’s keep it that way.

Gessler is hot potato in race for his o� ce Williams, Neguse both hoping to avoid past secretary’s drama

By Vic Vela [email protected]

In the race to become Colorado’s next secretary of state, two candidates are tout-ing their qualifi cations while distancing themselves from the man who currently holds the post.

Republican El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams will take on Democrat Joe Neguse, a University of Colo-rado regent, in a race to become the state’s elections chief.

The two are seeking to fi ll a seat that will soon be vacated by Secretary of State Scott Gessler. The Republican opted against seeking a second term and instead launched an unsuccessful bid for governor earlier this year.

Gessler has famously earned the nick-name “honey badger,” born from a style of bare-knuckled politics that has rallied Re-publicans and roiled Democrats. Gessler has had several public battles with Gov. John Hickenlooper and legislative Demo-crats over election policy and his handling of the secretary of state’s offi ce.

That style is something that both Wil-liams and Neguse say they want to avoid if elected as Gessler’s successor.

“I think some of the ways he presented things were too polarizing,” said Williams.

Williams said Gessler “has done a lot of good things,” but added: “We have differ-ent styles.”

However, Neguse sees a lot of Gessler in

Williams. Neguse believes Williams has a record of “focusing on efforts that make it harder for people to vote.”

“For me, it is important to have a sec-retary of state who is not only going to protect the right the vote, but empow-er more people to exercise that constitutional right because it is a right that we shouldn’t take for granted,” Neguse said.

Williams said Neguse’s characterization of him just isn’t the case.

“I’m the only one (in the race) who has run an offi ce and run elections and I’ve done it well,” he said.

Backgrounds di� erWilliams served for eight years as an El

Paso County commissioner prior to being elected county clerk and recorder in 2010.

Williams said he is proud of the custom-er service he has provided for four years and is especially proud of his work during the 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire, when many voters were being evacuated the same day of a primary election.

“We counted every ballot, made sure they were all secure and made every statu-tory deadline despite being evacuated for the fi re,” Williams said.

Williams has also presided over three re-call elections in as many counties. He was asked by offi cials in Teller and Saguache counties to handle local recall elections there, and he oversaw his own county’s highly publicized recall election, which led to the ouster of then-state Senate President

John Morse.Neguse was elected to represent the

state’s 2nd Congressional District on the CU Board of Regents. His public service

record also includes having served as a commissioner on the Boulder Housing Authority and being a Cap-itol staffer for former state House Speaker Andrew Ro-manoff.

Neguse is a fi rst-gener-ation American whose par-

ents are from Africa.“The right to vote really is

sacred and, as the son of immigrants, I can tell you in a very visceral way what it means to be able to have the right to vote and to exercise that right to vote,” he said.

If elected, Neguse said he would work to create a “one-stop shop” business platform to make it easier for business owners to navigate service options. He also wants to dispatch offi ce representatives across the state for greater service accessibility.

Divided on reformsNeguse and Williams have different

opinions on key voting issues that will shape their policies.

Neguse is a supporter of a 2013 elections overhaul law that created same-day regis-tration in Colorado and requires that all ballots be mailed to registered voters.

Neguse believes the law will enable more people to participate in elections, but Williams has been an outspoken critic of the law. Williams said the law is costly to counties and is unfair to voters who don’t wish to receive ballots in the mail because

of security issues.Williams — whose opposition to the

elections reform law puts him among the minority of county clerks in the state — also is concerned that the law will lead to increased cases of voter fraud.

“Colorado had the highest percentage turnout in the country in 2012,” Williams said. “The system was working very well as it was.”

Neguse believes Williams’ opinion on the law misses the mark. He points to safe-guards that are in place that allow clerks re-al-time information when votes are being cast, which is intended to root out fraud.

“Same-day registration has existed in Wyoming for decades,” Neguse said. “It has existed in Idaho for decades. It’s worked well. Empirical evidence shows more peo-ple participate.”

Williams supports voter identifi cation laws and doesn’t think that showing a util-ity bill is a valid form of ID. He concedes that voter fraud is rare, but he cites two recent El Paso County elections that were decided by a single vote.

“We don’t have bank robberies that of-ten either,” he said. “But (if a bank) put all its money in a pile and put a note on the pile and said, ‘Hey customers, just sign an affi davit that you’ve taken no more money than you have deposited in this bank,’ that would be an absurd result.”

But Neguse doesn’t think that voters want “a secretary of state who is going to be focused on dismantling those reforms.”

“That should be something we should strive for — making it easier to vote for those people who are eligible to vote,” he said.

Residents invited to community meet-ing on proposed Reunion elementary school

Parents and community members are invited to hear more about design plans and provide their own input for School District 27J’s proposed 12th elementary school.

The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 2, at Stuart Middle School, 15955 E. 101st Way, Commerce City.

Elementary School No. 12 would be built on a 10.1 acre piece of land near

110th Avenue and Landmark Drive in the Reunion community of Commerce City. Meeting attendees will receive an update on design work that has been completed up to this point and have the opportunity to share feedback on the design plans.

Denver-based architectural fi rm SLAT-ERPAULL/Hord Coplan Macht has been selected to guide the design process for the new school.

“We are eager for the opportunity to design a new elementary school for the Re-union community and to work closely with

School District 27J in creating a school that meets the needs of students for their neighborhood school,” said Adele Willson, principal architect.

The proposed $16.5 million school is part of a $148 million district bond con-struction question that district voters will

consider in November. Design work on the school has started prior to the potential passage of the bond to allow the district, architect and general contractor to meet an aggressive timeframe of opening the school for the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year.

SPORTSPrairie View celebrates at homeWhile Brighton loses on the roadBy Michelle [email protected]

Despite a 45-minute lightning delay Fri-day, the Thunderhawks cruised by for the win against the Panthers 41-27.

Zach Peterson started out the scoring for Prairie View in the first quarter, and lat-er came back in a huge play to earn a first down that led to Prairie View going up 20-6. RJ Ramirez had a long touchdown run after Boulder tied the game.

Jeremy Velasco, Donovan Otero and Zach Crispin all scored.

“Boulder is a well-coached, hard-nosed physical team that gave us everything we wanted and more,” Coach Todd Riccio said. “Our running game kept us in the game all night and our defense found answers to stop their talented running back.”

The 2-0 Thunderhawks will hit the road to face Thornton this Friday.

“Thornton is a tough team,” he said. “They played Boulder very tough. They played them to 14-0 in the first half. They’ll be a physical team for sure.”

BHS su�ers second half lossWith a promising score of 6-6 at the half,

Brighton just couldn’t squeeze out a win against Denver East. Brighton fell 35-6 to Denver East.

“We’re young and learning,” Coach Pat Sandoval said. “We’re getting better each week. We need to learn how to bounce back after a big play. Denver East had some big plays the second half.”

The Brighton team had some injuries that hurt them this week, and Sandoval said young players were put in some tough situ-ations.

“It was a tough week,” he said. “Our boys will bounce back. Hopefully we’ll get some of the boys injured back this week for homecoming.”

Conner Pepin had a great game, with some big plays that sparked momentum for Brighton.

“Dalton Wadkins and Sam Kullberg, along with the whole offensive line played great,” he said.

Going into their Homecoming Game this week Brighton plans on putting a com-plete game together for Westminster.

“Westy is a big and strong team,” he said. “It will be a tough game. They beat us last year on the last play of the game. The boys are excited for homecoming. Every-one wants to win their homecoming game; therefore it’s a big game.”

Since it’s his first year on the varsity football team, senior Conner Pepin really has a love for his team. “It’s family,” he said. “We’re a very disciplined team that has tal-ent in every position and depth in every

position.”The wide receiver/cornerback loves to

have the chance to make a play at any given time that can change the game, rather than be an interception or touchdown.

“I don’t like that while playing corner-back, sometimes I’m not involved in the plays as much as I’d like to be,” he added.

Playing football since he was in first grade he’s been coach many years under Coach Carl Nance.

“My true passion is baseball, but my el-bow surgery has changed how I feel about it and what certain limitations I may have in the spring with it,” he said.

Coming off the Denver East loss, Pepin said the team just has to bounce back and

correct the small mistakes in order to get the win on Homecoming.

“Playing Westminster is going to be a great test for our defensive line,” he said. “They have a heavy offense. We’ll need to take advantage of any chance to score and can’t stall out in the redzone this week.”

“Conner is a great athlete,” Sandoval said. “We’re glad he came out this year. He’s one of our leaders and we’re blessed to have him on our team.”

Undecided about where he’ll go to col-lege, he’d like to continue playing one or the other of his two passionate sports.

“It just depends on which one suits my future the best,” he said.

Prairie View, Brighton send golfers to stateYang, Kropp perform well at regionalsBy Michelle [email protected]

Brighton golfer Ryan Kropp will make his first appearance at the golf 5A State Championships this year.

Kropp has golfed at Brighton for three years.

“I golf because I enjoy it and I’m good at it,” he said. “I enjoy and like things if I’m good at them. It helps keep my motivation up and keeps getting better because I know I can have a chance to do something excit-ing. If I didn’t take that chance, and not be the best I can, then I wouldn’t do it.”

Knowing all the potential the state tour-nament has to offer, he’s looking forward to competing.

“I’m not going to try and win it, because knowing my skill right now I don’t think I’m capable of beating the best, but next year that is my goal,” he said. “Going into it I’m trying to get somewhere around the top 15 finish. I want to just post two good scores for myself. If I get into a position to do something then, yes I’ll go for it.”

Kropp shot a 76 at the regional tourna-ment last week.

“He’s worked really hard, and has gotten a lot better than last year,” Brighton Coach Eli Haskell said. “Ryan’s learning every day how to be a better golfer. He’s been work-ing with me once a week all year, since last season finished. This was the best round of golf he’s had for the year.”

Haskell felt the Brighton team did much better this season.

“No one broke 90 last year, and this year all four did,” he said. “Austin Roth missed

state by two points with an 83. He had a birdie on the last hole, but it wasn’t enough. Brice Pawlowski and Trey Hamblin also did well, both scored 90.

Next season Brighton will have five re-turning strong golfers. Haskell is happy as he said the culture of golf is getting better.

“We have the five kids working hard, and they are some die-hard golfers who’ve all gotten better,” he said. “I know this year we’ll be better. Next year our goal is to get a team into state. We’re on the boarder of doing that. It’s been a long time coming for Brighton golf.”

After shooting a 79 and tying for 18th in the regional tournament, Prairie View High School senior Andy Yang will also make his first appearance at the state tournament this year.

“I’m going to simply go out and have fun,” he said. “It’s my last year. I have to just go out and enjoy it.”

Yang felt it wasn’t a strong year for him, but he’s happy that he finally made it to state.

“Prairie View had a good year, and we accomplished one of our goals, winning the East Metro Athletic Conference,” Coach Dan Hamilton said. “Andy will make his first appearance at state this year, as he just missed it last year by one stroke. Andy has been a leader and has always helped his teammates when needed.

“Hunter Nicholas, Taron Ford and Diego Nolasco all had rough outings at regionals, but they were a huge part of Prairie View winning the EMAC.”

The 5A State Golf Tournament is at Colo-rado Springs Country Club on Sept. 29-30.

Dates are still pending for a fall golf camp hosted by the BHS golf program in early to the middle of October. Brighton High School junior Ryan Kropp had success at the regional golf tournament last week. He will compete in the

T-Hawks, �erce and ready�oms’ team makes for a strong start to so�ball seasonBy Michelle [email protected]

The Lady Thunderhawks softball start-ed their season strong with a 12-2 season thus far compared to their 2013 season ending record of 13-8.

With hot hitting from the team and Margarita Sena’s solid pitching, which has been key, the squad beat Adams City 11-1 and Westminster 9-8 last week.

“We have several players who’ve con-tributed and that’s one of the keys to our success,” Coach Mark Gonzales said, “We have a lot of young talent and we hope to continue to grow. We have a league schedule remaining that will provide a couple of tough challenges, and we hope to be standing tall.”

Center fielder Taylor Thoms has played softball for seven years.

“My parents put me in a bunch of sports and softball just clicked with me,” she said. “I had a ton of fun playing it, and about three years into playing, I decided to go further with it and play competi-tive. I did play basketball and volleyball in middle school, but decided to focus on softball.”

Playing softball also with the Colorado Havoc this year, she said club ball is way more competitive than high school ball.

“Taylor has been a leader and has

played at a high level this year,” Gonza-les said. “Her consistent production has helped us start with 11 wins and two loss-es.”

With a batting average of .673, Thoms has made 20 RBI and has had 27 runs so far this season.

Her favorite thing about softball is be-ing able to play with new people every year.

“I meet some of my best friends from playing softball,” she said. “It’s always fun to play with your good friends. This is by far our best season yet. We have a great connection and we all get along great. There’s no drama and we’re a big family.

“I don’t have a least favorite thing about the sport. Everything is always fun and playing is such a joy.”

Thoms received academic all-state first team, East Metro Athletic Confer-ence Honorable Mention and EMAC first team all-academic as a freshman and sophomore. She received the Thun-derhawk Award her sophomore year. As a junior she made EMAC first team all-conference, academic all-state honorable mention and EMAC second team all-ac-ademic.

She’s still debating if she wants to play college softball next year. She said she’d love to attend Western Nebraska; oth-erwise she’ll look into the University of Northern Colorado or Metro State. She would like to major in athletic training.

Prairie View will host Thornton at 4 p.m. today.

ADAMS COUNTY NEWS IN A HURRYCandidates’ forum set

The League of Women Voters of Adams County is hosting a candidates meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 30, at the Rosa Auditorium, Skyview Campus, 8990 York St, Thornton. The meeting time is 6-9 p.m.

All the candidates running for county offices in Adams County have been invited. Please come and hear their ideas. If you can’t make the meeting, visit www.vote411.org for information on the candidates.

County among national leaders in job growth Adams County employers are adding

jobs at one of the fastest rates in the na-tion. In a report published Sept. 18 by the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, employ-ment in Adams County increased by 4.7 percent between March 2013 and March 2014. The national average for job growth during that time was 1.7 percent.

According to the federal report, Adams County has enjoyed steady growth over the past 12 months.

“This is great news and validates what we have been saying for years about the economic development opportunities in the county,” said Board of County Com-missioners Chair Charles “Chaz” Tedes-co. “We look forward to helping existing and prospective businesses so we can sustain this growth in employment.”

Adams County joins Weld County on the list. With 7.1 percent growth over the same period, Weld County ranked first among the largest counties in the coun-try. From March 2013 to March 2014, employment increased in 281 of the 339 largest U.S. counties.

Service Academy nominations being acceptedRep. Ed Perlmutter is currently accept-

ing Service Academy Nominations until Oct. 1, 2014. Rep. Perlmutter participates in this program each year to help the best and brightest of the 7th Congressional Dis-trict attend a United States Military service academy.

Candidates applying for a congressio-nal nomination must meet the following eligibility requirements as of July 1 of the year of admission to a service academy: be a U.S. resident and legal resident of the 7th Congressional District, be between 17-23 years old, be unmarried, not pregnant, and no legal obligation to support children or other dependents.

Candidates will be evaluated using a competitive system that includes a personal interview, and a review of your application, essays, academic records, letters of recommendation, community involvement, character and leadership ex-perience. Nominations will be made prior to Jan. 31, 2015.

It’s important to note that a congres-sional nomination is not a guarantee of admission. The final decision will be made by the academy itself following a “whole-person” evaluation that considers a can-didate’s character, scholarship, leadership, physical aptitude, medical fitness, goals and motivation.

Interested candidates can visit http://perlmutter.house.gov/ for more informa-tion about the application and selection process.

Beer & Wine Tasting fundraiserThe annual Romito Foundation Annual

Beer & Wine Tasting on the Hill Silent Auc-tion takes place Saturday, Oct. 18. The VIP event with exclusive wine tasting starts at 6 p.m. The main event starts at 7 p.m. The location is The Brittany Hill, 9350 Grant St., Thornton.

The Romito Foundation held a Beer Tasting Event and was able to raise more than $10,000. The funds went to sending 15 kids with Duchenne’s muscular dystro-phy to camp and take many more to Rock-ies, Avalanche and Nuggets games.

For tickets visit www.3BAD.org or call 303-718-2538.

Phone town hall meetingThe Adams County Board of Commis-

sioners invite residents to participate in a Telephone Town Hall Meeting on 6:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23. Participants will be given the opportunity to discuss issues and ask questions from the comfort of their homes.

Horse hoedown is hopping and clopping

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away from the Sept. 17 open-ing of Odysseo, the new multimedia horse, of course, extrava-ganza under the big top at the Pepsi Center parking lot.

Despite my ever-tightening chest, an indication of how al-lergic I am to the magnificent creatures, I stayed the course un-til the last hoof had left the building.

The show opened to a crowd of 2,000 who — judging by the standing ovation at the end — were blown away by the blend of equestrian arts, performing arts and high-tech theatrical ef-fects. Sharing the colossal stage with 46 riders, acrobats, aerial-ists and musicians, the 62 horses stole the spotlight during this blend of equine ballet and old-fashioned rodeo tricks.

The opening night also marked Odysseo’s 700th show since the inception of this equine spectacular in 2011.

“The entire troupe and myself felt a very warm welcome from the Denver audience”, said Normand Latourelle, Cavalia’s founder and artistic director. “With more than 1 million specta-tors having been touched by the beauty and majesty of Odysseo since the beginning of this colossal adventure, we are proud to finally present this feel-good show to Denver.”

Odysseo offers evening and matinee performances through Oct. 5. Tickets are available at www.cavalia.net or by calling 866-999-8111.

LoDo Sips seeks volunteersNew this year, LoDo Sips, a walking tour of Historic Lower

Downtown Denver while tasting samples from taverns and bars, has replaced LoDo Bites.

From 5-9 p.m. Oct. 9, at each stop along the way you’ll be treated to a sample of a Colorado brewed, distilled or produced beverage. Participating bars include Tavern Downtown, Celtic Tavern, Wynkoop Brewing Co., Spill, Viewhouse and more.

LoDo Sips celebrates the district’s tavern and brewpub scene. Tickets are $35 for individuals or $30 each for a group of 10 or more, available at www.lodo.org.

Volunteers are needed for the event. For details, email [email protected].

Rocky mascot debuts burgerHard Rock Cafe Denver, in the Denver Pavilions on the 16th

Street Mall, pays homage to Denver Nuggets’ mascot Rocky with The Rocky Burger.

Created by Rocky himself, the burger is crafted with a bri-oche bun; two four-ounce burger patties, made of premium ground beef and brisket; two slices of pepper jack cheese; a fried egg; two strips of bacon and buttermilk fried onion strings.

The Rocky Burger is served with french fries and a house-made Skittles-infused tangy barbecue sauce for dunking, as Skittles are Rocky’s favorite snack. This burger will be available at Hard Rock Cafe Denver exclusively, for a limited time. A por-tion of the proceeds from the $13.95 burger will be donated to Special Olympics Colorado Project UNIFY.

“We are excited to partner with Rocky and the Denver Nug-gets to support the Special Olympics Colorado Project UNIFY,” said Sean Finney, general manager of Hard Rock Cafe Denver. “The Rocky Burger, along with its special ̀ dunking’ sauce, is not only delicious, but also a great way to support a very deserving cause.”

Perry’s opens down southPerry’s Restaurants, a Texas-based, family-owned group of

steakhouses, opened its first location in Colorado on Sept. 15 in the Vistas at Park Meadows outdoor shopping area.

The 11,000-square-foot restaurant accommodates more than 400 guests. Features include an open concept kitchen, a towering wine wall, an island bar and four private dining rooms for groups and special occasions.

“I admire the vibrant food scene here in Denver,” said Chris Perry, president and owner of Perry’s Restaurant, who attended a recent media preview of the place. “With our famous seven-finger-high pork chop, distinctive signature dishes carved ta-ble-side, shared sides and vegetables, and cocktails made with fresh ingredients from the kitchen, we hope to fit right in and feel at home in Colorado.”

Perry’s, which started as a meat market, is known for its spe-cialty Perry’s Famous Pork Chop, a seven-finger-tall chop that is dried, cured and roasted, then caramelized and topped with Perry’s herb-garlic butter. Perry’s is also home to Bar 79, named after the year Perry’s was founded.

OverheardEavesdropping on a woman watching another diner

scooping up a serving from the kettle of boiled peanuts at Smoking Yard’s BBQ in Idaho Springs: “What are those?”

“These, my lady, are the caviar of the Deep South.”

The Metro North Chamber of Commerce has a new leader - Angela Habben has been hired as the organization’s presi-dent and chief executive officer effective September 29th. She is the Vice President and Relationship Manager for Vectra Wealth Management at Vectra Bank Colo-rado and has spent the last 36 years in the banking industry.

“When we considered her experience, her skills, and personality, it was clear to us we had an ideal candidate – someone who could come to work on her first day and immediately begin the pursuit of the Chamber’s mission,” said Chamber Chair Jennifer Alderfer.

Habben saw the Chamber opportunity as a logical career pro-gression. “I believe my experience in the area of building busi-ness relationships will suit the MNCC well as we strengthen the Chamber’s role in helping the community grow and develop.”

A PRIME TIMEThe Chamber’s inaugural PRIMETIME celebration September 17th was a rousing success, welcoming 120 new members to the Chamber community. A large crowd at the Westin Westminster enjoyed dueling pianos, casino games, ballroom dancing, great food and drink, display booths, prizes, and quality networking. “This was the bash we wanted,” said Interim CEO Shiley Johnson, “with something for everyone. You couldn’t ask for a better environment to promote business engagement.”

The Metro North Chamber Workers’ Compensation Dividend program was created to give members additional discounts and the ability to earn divi-dends from their Workers’ Compensation premiums. In many cases, poli-cyholders don’t even need to change their current insurance coverage, but simply enroll in our program to gain the additional benefits provided with their membership. Call Doug Bollman at Taggart Insurance (303.442.1484) to see how your company can take advantage of this great benefit.
