Darr faces � nal weeks as sheri� By Tammy Kranz [email protected]

Packing up his office — stuffing family pic-tures, awards and his son’s maturing artwork over the years into boxes he’ll put in the bed of his F-150 truck — isn’t as simple as some might think it would be for Sheriff Doug Darr.

When you’ve managed 520 full-time em-ployees and a $58 million annual budget for the past 12 years, handing over the keys to the next guy is a more delicate process.

Darr began preparing for his successor in September — sifting through mounds of pa-perwork strewn across two large conference tables and his desk.

“It’s bittersweet,” he said while dusting off a plaque and putting it in a box. “I’ve been here most of my adult life.”

On Nov. 4, voters will choose a new leader for the Adams County Sheriff’s Office. Darr, 63, is term-limited.

Voters elected Darr as their sheriff in 2002 and again in 2006. As Darr neared the end of his second and final term, voters in 2009 ex-tended term limits to three for most Adams

History comes alive in Elmwood Cemetery By Lou Ellen Bromley [email protected]

The weather was not the only highlight with Brighton’s very fi rst Historic Cemetery Walk — the fall colors added to the spirit of the afternoon event.

Brighton Cemetery Director Aaron Corr and his staff entertained visitors with infor-mation about the Brighton history and the surrounding area with tales about past resi-dents.

“That people should be comfortable com-

ing to a cemetery for more reasons than be-cause of sad events. Years ago it was common for families to visit a cemetery and spent time, having picnics and reminiscing,” Corr said.

He hopes to encourage people to visit the three Brighton cemeteries and learn about the people buried in each one.

“Based on the success of this event, there is another Cemetery Walk being planned for next year,” Corr added.

Several people, some dressed in period costumes, related the sometimes sad and sometimes funny stories of their families and friends now residing at Elmwood Cemetery, bringing to life the people of Brighton’s past.

Corr estimated more than 250 people at-tended this free self-guided walk through the

cemetery with speakers located along the designated trail who made short presenta-tions near the grave sites of 10 people buried there.

Several family members brought family pictures and artifacts to share with guests, to help illustrate their histories.

Several volunteers also participated, happy to help bring to life several interesting people buried in Elmwood. These included Risa Riclt speaking about Jean and Lloyd Barker, Leah Wagner speaking about the Burgman family, Robin Kring speaking about the Strong family and the Carmichaels and Pat Reither speaking about the history of the Leffi ngwell’s, Cuttingham’s and Aichelman’s.

Leah’s daughter Cassidy Wagner, a Vikan

Middle school student, was also a speaker, and gave a brief history of Maria Bromley Al-len. Patty Murray, Shirley Fagan, Julie Trujillo and her daughter Madeline Kelley, Ken and Lou Ellen Bromley and Greg Schell presented family histories.

Donna Littlefi eld of Dupont, near Com-merce City said she was impressed with the walk.

“I would like to see more history about the women, such as the farm wives and what their lives were like. I enjoyed it very much,” Littlefi eld said.

Anyone interested in helping with next year’s Cemetery Walk may contact Aaron Corr at [email protected] or call 303-655-2060

Council surveys marijuana lawsCity weighs needs for amendmentsBy Lou Ellen [email protected]

Brighton City Council listened to informa-tion provided by city staff members on two important code enforcement regulation top-ics for more than four hours.

Although it is legal to grow marijuana for both personal and medical use, council has discussed possible amendments to municipal codes and regulations regarding the growing of marijuana in private residents, concerning how it could possibly impact the health and safety of the citizens of Brighton.

The state’s medicinal marijuana amend-ment allows a person, with a doctor’s permis-sion, to obtain a license and grow up to six marijuana plants within their home for medi-cal reasons. Amendment 64, recreational pot,

states anyone 21 years old or older can pur-chase marijuana up to one ounce, and grow up to six plants in their home for personal use.

State regulations say that all marijuana plants must be in an enclosed area and not be in view of the public. Marijuana cannot be grown outside or in an adjacent building, such as a garage. Because certain parts of the state amendments are not clearly defined, there has been some confusion on what exactly the regulations should be.

Brighton city staff has been in contact with several other communities to see how they are interpreting the regulations, and what other regulations they have adopted, to help give Brighton’s city council an idea on how to con-struct its own code amendments. The council will be drafting a decisions in the near future.

Brighton does not allow the commercial sale of marijuana within the city limits.

Council also discussed the possible safety and legal use of electronic vaporizers. The council members express concerns about the possible risks involved with the use of

the electronic vaporizers by the person using them and to people around them, much like secondhand smoke. The city does feel they should be regulated much the same way as tobacco products and not be sold to anyone under 18.

Kevin Burnett from Willdan financial ser-vices and Utilities Director Curtis Bauers presented council members with their rec-ommendations for an 8-percent increase in water, storm water and waste water rates for 2015.

The report included the determination of the revenue needed to meet the utility costs by the city and a rate design analysis to de-termine the appropriate level of rate increase. The report included recommendations for the cost of service, revenue stability, encourage conservation of water and provide a fair price for all customers. The report also included in-formation on the funding required to provide utilities to new developments, improvements to existing residents, maintain and repair ex-isting water lines.

Brighton resident competing in Red Bull’s “Art of Can”Art made out of Red Bull cans an inspiring medium for creativityBy Lou Ellen [email protected]

Brighton artist Monica Eddleman’s creation — a dress made of Red Bull cans — was one of the 30 works of art chosen to compete in the Red Bull Art of Can contest being held in Chicago Illinois this November.

More than 300 works of art were created from aluminum cans and en-tered in the competition. Of the 350, only 30 move forward into the contest.

All the artist’s involved use primar-ily Red Bull, blue and silver aluminum cans, the art work can include pictures, sculptures and in Monica’s case, wear-able art.

Each artist has to first submit a pro-

posal to Red Bull of what they want to make and fill out an application to be considered to enter the competition and exhibition.

Monica has designed a dress made of the Red Bull cans crafted into roses and attached to a cloth foundation, making it comfortable to wear.

She was inspired by an earlier dress she created where she first sculpted the aluminum roses. She has perfect-ed the roses and has used them in the neckline and the back of her current creation. Monica feels it is more chal-lenging to create wearable art such as this dress and a mermaid style dress she entered in another Red Bull Art of Can competition in the past.

This year is the 6th year Monica has entered the competition and the fifth time she has been one of the 30 cho-sen.

Monica entered the contest for the first time in 2007 at the suggestion of

a friend, where she won the “People’s Choice Award” that year.

“Everyone has an inspiration of what they can do with aluminum cans that are just beautiful,” said Monica describing the entries in the contest.

Monica came to Brighton from Dal-las Texas and has lived here from 2006. She works from her Brighton home, using several different types of materi-als for her creations.

She currently has dresses in her home made from Godova Chocolate wrappers, Swedish fish wrappers and one made of Swedish fish candies. Monica has shown her creations at the EGOfair in Brighton on several occa-sions.

The Red Bull Art of Can Exhibition is free to the public and held in Millen-nium Park in Chicago, Illinois, Nov. 11-16 with the winner being announced on the last day of the exhibition.

PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT NEWS IN A HURRY Adco to be powered by community solar

Adams County has contracted with Denver-based SunShare to provide seven of the county’s facilities with clean, reliable en-ergy from a Community Solar Garden to be constructed near 46th Avenue and Imboden Road by December 2014. When SunShare’s solar garden comes online, Adams County will be the fi rst county in the nation to power its buildings with community solar energy.

“We are really excited to partner with Adams County,” said Marc Bencivenni, vice president of SunShare. “Their leadership in sustainability and innovation is clear and should be an inspiration for surrounding communities.”

According to Nick Kittle, Adams County’s Performance, Innovation and Sustainability Manager, the project requires zero upfront costs from the county. Additionally, the county stands to save a projected $300,000 in energy costs from the SunShare contract over the next 20 years.

“Adams County has made an important fi rst step in moving to cleaner energy,” said Kittle. “This project makes fi nancial sense and builds on our growing leadership role as an environmentally responsible community. We will continue to make more sustainable

choices as an organization, and we’re excited to partner with SunShare to bring more Solar Gardens to Adams County. We believe this project is a winning opportunity for our or-ganization, our community and our citizens and we are excited to be the fi rst county in the nation to be a partner in a community solar garden.”

“The Community Solar model is quickly emerging as a major force in the renewable energy sector,” said J.W. Postal, SunShare’s senior vice president. “Partnerships like this demonstrate the immense demand for Com-munity Solar — we are excited to partner with Adams County.”

In 2010, the Colorado State legislature led the nation by passing the country’s fi rst Community Solar Gardens Act. The act has inspired 16 states from Minnesota to Califor-nia to develop legislation creating their own Community Solar Gardens programs.

The Community Solar Gardens Act allows customers who either can’t or don’t want to put solar panels on their homes to buy solar energy from a solar array

OPINIONY O U R S & O U R S

Calm is around the corner We can see “the light at the end of the

tunnel.” “We are almost there.” “Hope springs eternal.” And a loud “AMEN.”

Today is Thursday, Oct. 30, and the off-presidential year election is just fi ve days away from being done, completed, fi nished, kaput. So many of us will let out a big sigh of relief when the last robocall is computer-dialed and the caller hangs up, the oversized postcard campaign mail-ers stop cluttering our mailboxes and the nasty attack ads on TV, Internet and radio are silenced. Those of us in Colorado have been especially hard-hit with the cam-paign rhetoric because we are a “battle-ground” state in the U.S. Senate race along with a close gubernatorial race. Lucky us!

Getting back to normalIt is likely that the vast majority of

voters will have already voted and sent in their ballots by now. Given the above mentioned close races along with others, the deciding votes may still be “out there” and not yet in the hands of the county clerks. Election night will be especially exciting and dramatic this time, but the key results could well be late into the night. Regardless of who wins and who loses and regardless of which ballot issues are successful, life will get back to normal just in time for the holidays. We Americans will have exercised our voting rights and then re-focused on going to work, paying the bills, inviting Aunt Maude to Thanks-

giving dinner and watching the Broncos. However, depending on the outcome of the races and the ballot results, life may be on the brink of some degree of change. We shall see...

Amendment 68 is ill-conceivedFor those who still are pondering their

ballot choices, here are some thoughts on a couple of the ballot issues. Amend-ment 68 (to the Colorado Constitution) is ill-conceived and lacks a competitive process assuming you favor using gam-bling revenue to help fund public schools. Remember, if this amendment succeeds, it is in our state constitution forever un-less a subsequent amendment retracts it. Secondly, why should a Rhode Island gambling outfi t dictate who is selected to run gambling casinos at horse tracks in Arapahoe, Mesa and Pueblo counties? If this expansion of gambling is to be al-lowed, let’s have local determination on whether it is to be allowed and who get the licenses to operate such facilities. Plus,

the clincher for me is I don’t like the idea of using gambling revenues to fund public education. Let’s keep the money “clean” and depend on voters to decide whether to raise taxes for K-12.

Open the school doorsThen let’s take a look at Proposition 104

which would be statutory and not become a part of our state constitution. This bal-lot issue has not gotten much play, but is worthy of your consideration. It would revise current state law pertaining to col-lective bargaining between school districts and their teachers’ unions. Currently, such negotiations can be held “behind closed doors” without the public’s attendance or awareness.

Given the fi scal impact that teach-ers’ unions can have on school district budgets, it is past time to open the door to the public. Also, given the antics of some school boards, i.e., Douglas County and Jefferson County, the public should know what demands and stances they are tak-ing. Why not let the public see and hear the demands from both sides, the dialogue of give and take and the conclusions. After all, it is the taxpayers’ money that is be-ing dealt at the bargaining table. A “YES/FOR” vote would add transparency to this process.

Zombies or attack ads?

In honor of the overlapping election and Halloween seasons, we crafted a spe-cial question for students at Front Range Community College on 112th Avenue in Westminster. Faced with the choice of a zombie apocalypse or being kidnapped to another galaxy and made to watch at-tack ads 10 hours a day, which would you choose and why?

‘The zombies. Because my brother knows everything about them and knows what to do.’

‘Zombies, any day of the week. I’d rather be attacked by something that may as well kill me.’

Anthony TracyLafayette

‘Zombies. Hey, I’ll just stick with Brittany, and it sounds better than going to another galaxy.’

Brandi PachecoCommerce City

‘Zombies. I think they are survivable. Every time I see attack ads, I have to change the channel.’

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

County positions, including sheriff.“Twelve years says something about

the level of commitment he has with the community,” said Adams County Un-dersheriff Roger Engelsman, who has worked with Darr for nearly 20 years. “Twelve years says something about the trust the community has had in him.”

He’ll be long remembered for his work ethic, proactive approaches to law en-forcement and the relationships he built, he added.

For the past 12 years Darr hasn’t just been a leader at the Adams County Sher-iff’s Office, but for other law enforcement officers across the state. Chris Johnson, former Otero County sheriff and current executive director of the County Sheriffs of Colorado, described Darr as a friend and mentor.

“He has been a great sounding board and wealth of knowledge,” he said. “His experience and wisdom is going to be missed.”

A legacy of leadingDarr’s long list of accomplishments

include fighting for safety improvements at the jail, establishing programs to not only reduce crime but help the less fortu-nate, and lobbying successfully for a re-gional law enforcement training facility.

“I think his willingness to listen to people, try to be inclusive and carefully weigh his decisions has led to his success as a sheriff,” said Johnson said.

Darr was a self-described strong-willed, challenging 21-year-old when he started working with the Sheriff’s Office as a jail deputy in 1972. He rose through the ranks and served in every division in roles such as director of Emergency Management, SWAT Team commander, and he served as a special investigator with the Colorado Attorney General’s Of-fice. He was appointed undersheriff in 2001.

And although his rough edges may have smoothed out over the past 42 years, Darr knows he has ruffled some feathers in his role as sheriff.

“It comes with the territory of being a leader,” Darr said, leaning back in his chair. “I’m a candid guy. I don’t mince words for the purpose of conforming to someone else’s point of view. My candor can be abrasive for some people.”

A recent issue Darr has been candid about is the controversial municipal in-mate cap at the jail. He doesn’t hesitate to say the cap was needed because of decisions made by the board of county commissioners.

“I didn’t make the decisions that got us into this,” he said. “I didn’t cut the bud-get. I didn’t cut the staffing, and I didn’t restrict the hiring. We’ve taken quite the beating here for decisions by other peo-ple that have impacted us greatly.”

The board approved a cap restriction on municipal inmates, which was en-acted Jan. 1, 2012, to help ease financial constraints at the county jail. The lack of adequate staffing at the jail made it a dangerous environment, Darr said.

“There were too many inmate-on-in-mate assaults, and too many assaults on law enforcement officers resulting in in-juries,” he said. “It’s already a risky envi-ronment but it was beyond reasonable.”

Five cities affected by the cap filed a joint complaint on Feb. 19 against the Adams County board of commissioners

and Darr for restricting or refusing to house municipal prisoners in the county jail. All parties agreed to delay litigation through May 15, and until then work to find solutions to reduce the number of low-level offenders at the jail and get staffing to a reasonable level.

Darr also ensured his staff received the appropriate skills training needed to keep them safe. He pushed the county to build a state-of-the-art regional training center, Flatrock, which opened in August 2013. The center is the first in the state to offer firearms, driving and defensive tactics training in one location.

“One of my responsibilities is to do all I can to make sure they get to go home at the end of their shift,” Darr said. “I do all I can to see that happens, I hope they remember that.”

Keeping a community safeDarr’s relationship with the commu-

nity goes much farther back than when he began working for the Sheriff’s Office. Originally from Nebraska, Darr’s family moved to Adams County when he was 5. He is a Mapleton High School graduate.

One of the first issues he tackled when he took over the Sheriff’s Office in 2003 was to strengthen relationships in the community.

“Our job is to make (residents’) qual-ity of life better,” he said, “to make them feel better on their worse days.”

Darr helped create 57 different com-munity groups and helped launch Op-eration Free Bird. The event, now in its 11th year, provides attendees everything needed for a complete Thanksgiving din-ner — certificates for turkeys, canned goods, bread and other grocery items. The program is funded through dona-tions, not from the Sheriff’s Office bud-get.

“Darr reached out to the community as much as he did the courts,” said Don Cassata, former director of Adams Coun-ty Human Services. “He always made sure law enforcement could contribute to different community affairs.”

Cassata thinks one of the biggest con-

tributions Darr has made to the com-munity is working on the Adams County School Emergency Plan.

“Prior to that there was no such man-ual,” he said. “I think given what hap-pened at Columbine there was a need to have something within Adams County schools and what he developed was im-plemented by the school districts.”

Other accomplishments Darr achieved was creating the component in the detective agency that targets online predators, and getting Adams County involved early on with the Colorado In-formation Sharing Consortium — spe-cialized software that allows exchange of information among agencies.

Outreach efforts and proactive mea-sures seems to have worked as far as public safety is concerned. There has been a 42 percent decline in crime in un-incorporated Adams County since 2002, according to the Colorado Bureau of In-vestigation.

Darr also worked just as hard outside his role as sheriff.

Despite an average of 60- to 65-hour work weeks, he completed his bachelor’s degree in business administration and budget finance and found time to gar-den, run three times a week and play on a baseball team for men over 45.

“Some of life’s best lessons were learned on the ballfields for me,” he said.

Darr lives in Thornton with his wife, Mary, and their 13-year-old son, Justin. He plans to devote more time to them af-ter his term ends.

“I love law enforcement, I really do,” he said, “but not as much as I love them.”

However, he is far from ready to retire.He’s had a couple of job offers but

doesn’t intend to make any decisions until January. He wants to remain in the criminal justice field.

Regardless of his next career move, he has no plans to slow down.

“Life is very short — play hard, do all that you can do,” Darr said. “The only way you can leave your mark is if you get started. You can’t sit on the sidelines.”

SPORTSPrarie View defends Superintendent’s TrophyBy Michelle [email protected]

Prairie View kept the Superintendent’s Trophy in possession for another year, after a 47-12 victory over cross-town rival Brigh-ton Friday night.

RJ Ramirez scored two touchdowns, along with Zach Peterson, Tavish Whelan, Cory Orr and Kierre Huey Cazenave.

“Brighton was another challenge along our journey this year, and another obstacle for us to overcome to achieve our goals,” Coach Todd Riccio said. “They were a tough and physical team and with being a rivalry game, you never know what can or will happen. It was a great atmosphere and game to be a part of, and I’m proud of how hard our kids played. We’re excited against to be making our second straight playoff appearance. Our goal is to win a playoff game at the very least this year.”

Prairie View will host Lakewood on Fri-day at 7 p.m. for the first round of the 5A State Football Championships.

“The Brighton game is fun, but it’s just another game we have to win,” Tavish Whelan said. “Brighton got much better as a team than they were last year.”

Whelan plays wide receiver. He said his favorite thing about his position is blocking for his teammates, and he likes to run.

“My least favorite is that we have a lot of running plays, and we don’t using passing a lot,” he said.

He’s played football since the sixth grade in Brighton.

“Some of the guys on my team now were on my first football team, so I’ve been play-ing football with them that long,” he said.

Entering the playoffs, he said his goals are the same as the team: “To do as well as we can and go as far as we can in playoffs. If we win a playoff game, it’ll be the first post season win in PVHS history, so winning

that first game is key.”Whelan loves playing football, but said

getting a good education is the most im-portant thing to him. He’ll major in physics after next year, but is undecided on what school he’ll attend. He said if he has the op-portunity to play football too, that would be great.

This is his third year earning a varsity letter in football, and in track. He’s received academic all-state first team and academic all-conference first team honors for foot-ball and track from 2011-2014. Last year he was second team all-conference wide re-ceiver. Currently he has a 4.25 grade point average and has been on the Principal’s Honor every year, and has lettered in aca-demics every year. His junior year, he was class president. He won the English depart-ment award in 2012. He’s also in student

council this year.“Tavish is a great student-athlete and

a great representative for our school and community,” Riccio said. “He has done ev-erything we could ever ask of him and he always does it to the best that he can. Tav-ish has become, over the last few games a very confident and dangerous receiver. The light has come on and clicked with him and I’m so proud of him and for what he has ac-complished. Tavish is one of the hardest workers and dedicated student athletes I’ve ever known or had the pleasure to coach.”

“The game didn’t turn out the way we planned it, we knew we had to try and con-tain RJ Ramirez, and slow down their run-ning game, get them in second and third and long, but don’t let them convert on third and long” Brighton Coach Pat Sando-val said. “Plus not give up the big play. They

played well. They are league champs for a reason.”

Sandoval also said he wished the team would’ve never turned over the ball to Prai-rie View.

“Anytime you have turnovers that’ll af-fect most outcomes of a game,” he said. “I wish them well in the playoffs and hope they do well to represent our league in the playoffs. I told the boys all week long, you win you’re in the playoffs.”

Brighton will play the number one seeded team Grandview at Legacy Stadium which is Cherokee Trail’s school on Friday at 7 p.m.

If both Brighton teams win, they will meet in a rematch, playing for the honor of moving on to the state quarterfinals.

T-Hawks triumphant

Lady Dawgs spike a win over T-HawksBy Michelle [email protected]

It was a close volleyball match up be-tween the both Prairie View and Brighton Oct. 23, but in the end Brighton rallied to win 3-2.

“The game was one of the best played games of our season and a great win for our program against our cross-town rival Prai-rie View,” Brighton Head Coach Meghan Law said. “Down two games, my girls never gave up and fought back to win convinc-ingly in five, winning 15-8 in the last game.”

Law thinks the team’s mental roughness came through in the end.

“All season long, we talked in practice about never giving up when the going gets tough,” she said. “We focused on each point and correcting mistakes as the game went on. I’m so proud of my girls.”

The 14-9 Bulldogs now prepare for their first round playoff match at Cherokee Trail in Aurora on Saturday, Nov. 1.

Swackenberg all about the set upSetter Kendra Swackenberg said her

team is so much more than just a team.“We’ve become a family,” Swacken-

berg said. “We drive each other crazy, but no matter what we stick together and love each other. I can’t imagine not having such an amazing team my senior year. We’ve fought hard this year, especially against Prairie View. Prairie View is a very strong team, and it was hard for us to find weak-nesses, but once we did we ran with it.”

Law said Swackenberg is the glue that holds the team together.

“She’s the person our offense centers

around,” she said. “She’s an opportunistic setter who uses her skills, to not only pick out the open hitter, but also scores herself. She’s our team captain in every sense of the word, the spark who ignites our team. I just love her spirit and the joy she takes in each kill.”

Her favorite thing about her position as a setter is that she gets to call the shots.

“I make all the plays and get to lead the team,” she said. “My least favorite is if I don’t do my job it doesn’t just make me look bad, but also my hitters and some-times even my passers.”

Playing every sport early on, Swacken-berg’s parents wanted her to see what she liked and volleyball really stuck since she’s been playing for eight years. Since volley-ball is her only sport, she plays club ball also with the Colorado Juniors in Monu-ment.

“It’s very competitive down there, so it’s made me work harder and made me even more of a competitor and a stronger player mentally,” she said.

She’s made first team all-conference twice. She received Most Valuable Player for the team as well as the East Metro Ath-letic Conference. She said this year has been really special for her as she has been a captain also along with her sister, Karysa.

“It has made us even closer than we al-ready were, and it’s allowed me to lead the team more and become closer to my girls.”

Swackenberg has verbally committed to play and study at Fort Lewis College in Durango on a full scholarship next year. She plans on majoring in education and minoring in business. She wants to teach first grade, but she said she’s still keeping her options open.

Bulldogs baseball to host �rst annual Halloween game

Bring out your little ghost and goblins Friday for some Brighton High School baseball at Dukes White Field 3:30-5:30 p.m.

“This is just a fun game we came up with to help end our long haul of 10 months of consecutive baseball,” Coach Ray Garza said. “This should be a fun and exciting event. The kids are eager to par take in the event.”

Each baseball player is asked to bring one bag of candy to be used during the trick or treating following the game. Candy will be given to those children in the area starting at 5:30 and going until all candy is given out.

Still strong despite loss at stateBy Michelle [email protected]

Along with improvement come great expectations and the Brighton High School boys’ soccer program student-ath-letes are no exception.

“This year’s team was an exceptional group of young men who held them-selves to a high standard both on and off the pitch,” Coach Kevin Barnes said. “Following a successful 2013 season, that ended short of a state playoff berth, the 2014 squad capped off their season with their first visit to the state playoffs in four years.”

However, a playoff win wasn’t meant to be for the Bulldogs, as they suffered a 4-nil loss.

The Bulldogs finished the regular sea-son 8-7-0, but it was their 6-3-0 in the East Metro Athletic Conference that set a course for post season play. Seeded 28th out of 32 teams, the team finished third in the EMAC for the 2014 season and faced fifth ranked Mountain Vista in the first round of play.

“The Golden Eagles are a well-coached, quality team that moves the ball well,” Barnes said. “Each goal they scored against us was a solid effort indicative of a well-coached team. We played them evenly for 60 minutes, but at this level, 80 minutes is required.”

“I told the boy’s … many players finish their high school careers without visiting the playoffs even once, so this was a huge event for us,” he said.

The Brighton team set two, attainable program goals for this season: Retaining the coaching staff, and making it to the post season.

“Since taking over a head coach in 2011, we’ve had tremendous support from par-ents, the school and community,” Barnes said. “It’s been a concerted effort to build a program with integrity, that demands the academic element that should be the pri-ority in any high school sports program, set high expectations regarding conduct and character, and challenges the players to realize their potential both on and off the pitch. That is what we’ve developed within the Brighton program.”

With regards to the coaching staff, as-sistant coaches Cory Schmeling and AJ Dingledine returned for the 2014-2015 season. “Both are Division 1 college player alumni with strong coaching abilities,” he said. “We expanded our staff to include Goalie Coach Ryan Singleton, a Cal State Fullerton alumni. With this type of sup-port, the team grew throughout the sea-son, and although we lost to some of our out-of-conference opponents early on, the boys became consistently strong as the season progressed.”

Barnes thanked this year’s seniors, “My son, Tanner Barnes, Tristan Davolt and Jonathan Espinosa,” he said.

“I hope I haven’t been too hard on you guys, since you’ve represented the back bone of my expectations for this program and are the cultural heart of this team.”

Barnes has coached these boys for nearly 10 years, on the Platte Valley Soc-

cer Club Pumas teams throughout their recreational, club and high school careers culminating with senior varsity play at BHS.

“Once a Puma, always a Puma,” he said.

“Andre Salazar, Ruben Castro, Jose Es-trella and Nelson Prado have brought a strong presence, tempered with quality play, high integrity, compassion, tenacity and a great sense of humility and humor to our program. All of these boys have set a solid foundation and expectation for their teammates to follow, and will be sorely missed next season.”

Barnes said next season, the team will have a strong core to continue building from: Dalton Oberfoell, Landon Verbeek, David Donlucas, Brady Strong, Austin Fordyce, Jorge Esquivel, Westlee Minne, Marco Rivas, Enrique Salgado, Andrew Sorenson, Rodrigo Velazquez, Jesus Men-doza and Charlie Cisneros. The junior var-sity members of Damian Chavez, Anto-nio Campos, Evan Cochran and Eduardo Chacon are expected to step up to varsity.

The team will still hold their custom-ary kick-a-rounds during the summer and support that with training sessions and camps.

“We also plan to incorporate the strength and conditioning opportunities the school offers that have been histori-cally outside of our program,” Barnes said. “With the close of the season, many of the boys have already been inquiring about playing indoor and club soccer during the off-season.”

Brighton coach Kevin Barnes talks to his team at halftime. The Bulldogs trailed at halftime, and ended up losing 4-0 to Mountain Vista in a �rst round Class 5A playo� game Oct. 23 at Mountain Vista.

Improved Bulldogs knocked out of playo�sMountain Vista too much for Brighton in boys soccerBy Jim [email protected]

Brighton boys soccer coach Kevin Barnes watched his team drop a 4-0 first-round Class 5A playoff match to Mountain Vista Oct. 23, but the fourth-year coach had nothing but praise for his program.

The 28th-seeded Bulldogs played well early against the fifth-seeded Golden Ea-gles, but Mountain Vista used the spark from Nolan Goa’s first-half goal and then scored three second-half goals to secure the victory.

“This club has come a very, very long way,” said Barnes. “In the four years since I’ve had the club, we’ve gone from com-plete disarray when the previous coaches were released. …Now this team had the highest GPA of any 5A program in the state last year.

“That is a big part of our program, the kids on this team if they have below a C on their grades, they don’t play. We don’t hold a CHSAA standard, we hold one above that. That in itself has developed a program that boys can count on.”

Despite playing well early in the game against Mountain Vista, the Bulldogs found it hard to come back against the Golden Eagles.

Brighton finished the season with an 8-8-0 record.

“We had two goals when we ended the season last season,” Barnes said. “That was to retain the coaching staff that we had. We were able to do that. The other thing was to try to go to postseason play. When you look at some of the other teams in our divi-sion and what they can draw from, our pro-gram had some growing to do before we are going to look at taking it to the next level. Maybe go to the second round or maybe going all the way to the finals. We’d love to do that.”

January Bash

A crowd of 150 enjoyed two hours of Congressional back-and-forth October 14th as candidates from the 2nd, 6th, and 7th districts debated issues-over-eggs. The list of topics ranged from the economy and energy to education and aging.

After brief opening comments from U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner, incumbents Jared Polis, Mike Coffman, and Ed Perlmutter

faced off against challengers George Leing, Andrew Romanoff, and Don Ytterberg.

Moderator Floyd Ciruli posed the questions and kept the discussion running smoothly.

Candidate Caucus

Adams County 3’sColorado’s November 4th ballots will feature several school districts asking for your support to enhance their educational facilities and faculties. The Chamber has endorsed all of the Adams County “3’s,” citing the importance of education to not only our children but also as a primary draw for companies considering the Metro North region as their new home. See each school’s story at http://bit.ly/ZYrwCw.

Keep up with Chamber news and events via Twitter @MetroNChamber

New President and CEO Angela Habben hit the ground running in late September when she took the Chamber helm and has been in high gear ever since. Her calendar has been full of meetings with current MNCC members, city officials, and pro-spective members and it shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.

“It’s been an exciting first month. I’ve received a warm reception throughout the region and that’s been very gratifying,” Habben said. “People know of the great work the Chamber has done over the years, a message I’m taking to businesses that can benefit in many ways from a new Metro North membership.”

Habben will slow down slightly on the evening of November 13th for the next Business After Hours. The program at the Drury Inn & Suites in Westminster will feature a meet-and-greet with her. “I encourage our members to come out next month so I can continue learning from them. Communication is key to ensure I’m hearing what’s on everyone’s mind as we plan for the future.”

DIA Field TripSeveral members of Metro North’s Development Council got a look behind the curtain at Denver’s International Airport October 16th. The tour centered on the new Hotel and Transit Center (HTC) which includes a 519-room Westin Hotel, light-rail transit from Denver Union Station to DIA, and a new public plaza that promises to be one of Denver’s prominent new venues for programs and events.

Save the date for the best event of the new year – the Metro North Annual Gala and Silent Auction will be Saturday evening, January 31st at the Westin Westminster. Watch our website for more details, coming soon – www.metronorthchamber.com.
