Hawthorn development proceedingNeighbors question drainage and circulationBy Glenn Wallacegwallace@ourcoloradonews.com

A new housing development planned for just north of Golden had its final plat approved by Jef-ferson Countys Board of County Commissioners last week.

The 199-single-family unit plat for the Hawthorn Subdivision (for-merly Golden Peaks), 58th Avenue and State Highway 93, was ap-proved 3-0. The commissioners

approval vote was made over the protest of some of the residents of the neighboring North Table Mountain Village home owners association, who had asked for a delay to the decision while they negotiated with the Hawthorn developers about potential con-struction, storm water and traffic impacts.

Robert Hatch, a lawyer repre-senting North Table Mountain Vil-lage HOA, said items of significant concerns remained to be sorted

out. There has not been an ease-ment agreement a county con-dition of approval with North Table Mountain Village to extend the current cul-de-sac on West 60th Lane. Without that second-ary access point for the Hawthorn houses, the developers would have to come back to the county with an alternative circulation plan. The HOA also has concerns about drainage impacts along Van Biber Creek, he said.

Hatch said some of his client HOA residents were not opposed to the land being developed, but

they did worry about how the con-struction would be handled. Some residents were already unhappy with blowing wind and dust im-pacts that they were already ex-periencing, just from preliminary mounds of grading dirt that have been put on the land recently.

Ive got photos of mounds of dust that accumulate inside a home in just one day, Hatch said, requesting a delay to the plat vote for a few weeks to allow the two parties to continue discussions.

A county staff representative said county health was already in-

vestigating the impact of blowing dust, and that the developers may have more construction mitiga-tion requirements as a result.

Commission Chair Don Rosier said it looked to him that the de-velopment plan will actually im-prove the entire Van Biber drain-age, and should proceed. His two fellow commissioners agreed.

Hawthorn developers will have to meet the countys list of con-ditions, including the West 60th Lane easement, before they can proceed towards actual construc-tion.

Tighe in frontCommissioners race results ipas provisional ballots are countedBy Glenn Wallacegwallace@ourcoloradonews.com

The race for Jefferson Countys District 2 County Commissioner seat is very close. Elec-tion night ended with appointed incumbent Re-

publican John Odom holding on to a 133-vote lead over Democrat Casey Tighe. Military, overseas and unsigned ballots were all processed last week. Those bal-lots equaled around 3,500 votes, and when counted up they did not just narrow the results, they switched them. As of the end of ballot counting last week, it was Tighe with a 215-vote lead less than one-hundredth of a percent advantage.

There is one more batch of ballots left to count which was done on Tues-day of this week an estimated 7,500 provision-al ballots.

If for any case the validity of a voter at the ballot box cant be verified, they can be given a provisional ballot, said Jeffco Deputy of Election Josh Liss.

Ive heard as high as 90-percent of the provisional ballots could be accepted, pro-vided that they are an eligible voter who didnt already vote somewhere else, said Jefferson County Democratic Party Chair Chris Kennedy.

Liss said with such a nar-row margin between the candi-dates, and so many votes still to be counted, the race remained too close to call.

Kennedy admitted to surprise that the Demo-cratic candidate Tighe had actually pulled ahead in the count.

Were just such a big county. It just shows that anything can happen when you still have more than 10,000 votes left to count, Kennedy said.

The Jefferson County Clerk and Recorders office will certify the final vote count this week. County sources and Kennedy said they expect the vote to still be close enough to trigger an au-tomatic recount vote totals being within one-half of one percent of each other.

Liss said either candidate could also request a recount, but at their own expense.

A county recount could be completed by the end of November, though the state deadline to complete it is Dec. 13.

Odom

Davies honored for serviceFallen ocer remembered for humor, dedicationBy Clarke Readercreader@ourcolora-donews.com

Police work is a se-rious business, but the friends of officer James Davies remembered his dry British wit and sense of humor at his funeral on Nov. 15.

Friends from the Lakewood Police De-partment remembered a man who was as fo-cused on stopping crime in the city as he was in convincing a friend that eating 50 chicken McNuggets at one time was a good idea, or having a con-test to see could round up the most fugitives or dirties as Davies called them in one day.

Davies, of course, won the contest.

He was a practi-cal jokester to the 10th-degree. He did impersonations and had nicknames for ev-erybody. said agent Justin Mains in his eu-logy, who served on the Lakewood Special En-forcement Team (SET) with Davies. He was a smart man, an intelli-gent man, and for him it was not about the quantity of work, but the quality.

Representatives of police departments from all over the state turned up in their blue, green and gray uni-forms on Nov. 15 to pay their respects to a fallen brother, who lost his life in the line of duty.

The Denver First

Church of the Nazarene was full of more than 2,000 people gathered to mourn and honor the memory of Da-vies, who was shot and killed on Nov. 9 after a fellow officer mistak-enly thought he was an armed threat.

Davies was born in Darlington, England, on May 10, 1977, and moved to America after meeting his wife, Tami, while she was studying abroad.

According to his friend Reese Ervins eu-logy, Davies would joke with fellow officers that Tami had to come to England to find a hus-band because none of the American blokes were right for her.

Several of the offi-cers who worked with him remembered the man who sarcastically called the fourth of July all traitors day, and was fiercely proud of his Welsh heritage. Many of Davies fam-ily from England, as well as British police officers, were in atten-dance at the service.

Lakewood May-or Bob Murphy also spoke, telling the crowd how grateful the city was for the work Da-vies, and all officers do, and how much his spe-cial contributions will be missed.

Davies started at the Lakewood Police De-partment in April 2006, and eventually joined SET, so he could focus on finding and pros-ecuting sex offenders.

Before he died, he had received approval to start a new sex offender unit, which the depart-ment will start in 2013.

Police chief Kevin Paletta told the crowd

that as much as every-one heard about who Davies was, it was only a snapshot of the man.

Youre not seeing the whole panorama of who he was, he said. He lost his life do-ing what he loved with people he admired.

After his speech, Paletta presented Tami and their children, Chloe, 6, and Ethan, 2, with two medals: the Police Service Award, for his work on creating the sex offender unit, and the Police Cross, for families of officers

who died in the line.He also added that

in May Davies will re-ceive the departments hall of fame award.

After the service, a procession drove through the city, with children from several schools standing along the road to pay tribute to the man.

Citizens of Lake-wood, you lost a great man that night, Mains said. He showed up every day and worked as hard as he could thats what the great ones do.

Mourners made a procession from Denver First Church of the Nazarene to Jeerson County Fair-grounds in honor of Lakewood police officer James Davies on Thursday, Nov. 15. Davies was killed by a fellow patrolmans gunre Nov. 9. Photo by Emily Mehring

Olde Golden Christmas celebration kicks o Nov. 30I have to say, I have always loved a

parade. My earliest memories involve standing on Washington Avenue with my dad holding my hand watching the Mines Homecoming parades go by and hearing the thunder of the drums and the blast of the brass.

I remember all the cool creative floats and the flags and the pretty girls twirl-ing the batons and most of all, the festive feeling that always accompanied them. Back then it seemed like there was always a parade somewhere to mark every holi-day St. Patricks Day, Independence Day, Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, all the New Years Day bowl game parades, and of course the biggest one of all, Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade!

Eventually this led to my participation in uncountable parades with high school and college marching bands and then doing it five days a week when I played with the band at Walt Disney World in Florida.

Parades have been a tradition in Golden for a long time, but when Christmas rolls around, we do things a little differently here. We dont have a parade, we have four of em! Thats right, four Christmas parades!

Its all part of our annual Olde Golden Christmas celebration scheduled to start with a Candlelight Walk on Friday, Nov. 30, and then continue throughout December with activities and events sure to warm ev-eryones hearts, even if its snowing outside.

For those who havent experienced this, its really one of the best seasonal events

around with plenty of opportunities to ac-tually participate in the events yourself.

The Candlelight Walk starts at 6:30 p.m. on the top of the Washington Avenue hill at the Foothills Art Center and is open to any-one who wants to participate. Santa leads it down the street, and it ends in front of the Golden Visitors Center with a ceremo-ny lighting the holiday lights along Clear Creek. That opens the gateway to a real Christmas adventure.

Stroll down the trail to the Golden His-tory Museum, which will be open and fea-turing people in period clothing and usu-ally someone playing one of those vintage organs they have, then continue across the bridge to the Golden History Park and the Astor House Museum, where you can see reenactments of how early Golden set-tlers spent the holidays, and along the way they will have cider and eggnog, cookies and chestnuts roasting plus a performance stage with carolers and dance groups set up in front of the Golden Visitors Center. The best thing? Its all free!

But thats just the beginning. Every Sat-

urday and Sunday through Dec. 22 there are events slated, and did I mention parades? Yes, there are four of them, every Saturday at 11 a.m., Dec. 1, 8, 15 and 22, and I know that they are always looking for new partici-pants, so if you have a group or something that you think would be a great addition to the parade lineup give them a call at the Visitors Center at 303-279-3113, and Im sure they will be happy to hear from you.

In addition to the parades, there will be free horsedrawn carriages and Newfound-land dog cart rides, carolers, free refresh-ments and shopping specials all over down-town Golden.

This is all sponsored and organized by the Greater Golden Chamber of Commerce, and it does a fabulous job every year.

There are really way too many things going on all month to put in this column, so take a few minutes, grab a cup of hot chocolate and go to one of these websites for a complete list of events www.golden-cochamber.org or www.visitgolden.com/events/olde-golden-christmas.html

Great concerts, tooOnce the sun goes down, the curtain

goes up here in Golden, and there is one special holiday themed event sure to make the season festive.

The Golden Concert Choir will present Christmas with a French Flavor at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, at the Golden First United Methodist Church, 1500 Ford St.

The concert will include The Shepherds

Farewell to the Holy Family by Berlioz, O Nuit by Rameau, Christmas ... in about Three Minutes (which isnt French, but is a light and fun arrangement of no less than 23 carols) and the highlight of the show, Christ-mas Oratorio by Saint-Saens (in English).

This is a great choir, they always put on a top-notch show, and I highly recommend adding this to your holiday to-do list. You can get tickets at the door or in advance by going to www.goldencommunitychoirs.org/concerts/christmas-with-a-french-flavor.

You can follow that up the next after-noon, Saturday, Dec. 2, with the Jefferson Symphony Orchestras Traditional Holiday Concert conducted by Dr. William Morse at the Green Center on the Colorado School of Mines campus. Showtime is 3 p.m.

This years concert will feature Shay Burns, soprano and Brian Stinar, tenor. In addition to traditional favorites, they will be presenting Respighis Pines of Rome and Brittens Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings. They are also having a silent auction and wine reception.

Man suspected of threats against Obama Kusick also suspected of intent to harm students By Ashley Reimers areimers@ourcolora-donews.com

A Westminster man is in federal custody after allegedly threatening to kill the president and chil-dren at Standley Lake High School.

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

In the complaint, it states that Kusick know-ingly and willfully made a threat to take the life of and infl ict bodily harm upon the president of the United States.

The complaint also states that Kusick stole a gun from his aunt and uncles house and planned to kill children on Hallow-een at Standley Lake High School in hopes to draw police offi cers into a gun fi ght.

Court documents also revealed that Kusick said he was obsessed with the Columbine shootings, Vir-ginia Tech shooting and the Jessica Ridgeway ab-duction and had been hav-ing homicidal fantasies on a daily basis for fi ve to six years.

He told his therapist he had been trying to keep track of President Barack Obamas visits to the Den-ver metro area because

he wanted to attempt to assassinate him and he wanted to go down in his-tory as the guy who killed Obama.

According to the com-plaint, Kusick said that he had trained on how to shoot an assault rifl e at a fi ring range in Grand Junc-tion, where he was a stu-dent at Mesa State. He said that he previously owned a .22 caliber rifl e and an as-sault rifl e.

Kusick admitted his plans to kill the presi-dent and shoot children on Halloween to police while in the hospital on mental hold.

The paperwork says he is charged with interfer-ence for threatening to shoot children in Jeffco Schools.

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

Working with law en-forcement, Jeffco Schools learned of a man who was allegedly threaten-ing students at Standley Lake High Schools Trick or Treat Street event. Po-lice acted quickly to take the man into custody before the event. At no time were children at-tending the event in any danger from the suspect because he was already in police custody. We ap-preciate the swift response from law enforcement and Jeffco district secu-rity which helped keep our students safe.

TIP TOP TWINKLE

O cers, citizens honored by Je co Sheri By Glenn Wallace gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com

It was a fi tting day for the Jeffer-son County Sheriffs Department to recognize the outstanding achieve-ments of the offi cers, and a few citi-zens, who went above and beyond the call of duty in 2012.

Earlier in the day, Jeffco Sheriff Ted Mink and many of his staff had attended the funeral of Lakewood Police Offi cer James Davies, who died in the line of duty.

Certainly after an event like that, its good to come together, to heal. And we wanted to rise above that tragedy and recognize our citizens and employees who have really done incredible work, said

Sheriff Mink after the presentation ceremony.

The awards event fi lled the county hearing room with award recipients, colleagues, and family.

Among this years honorees were two citizens, and two department deputies who risked their own lives to pull an accident victim out of a fl aming vehicle; several deputies who acted quickly to save the lives of suicidal citizens; and one deputy who handled two award-worthy situations in one day.

Deputy DA Christian Gardner-Wood was given the Citizen Cita-tion of Merit, and offi cers Dale Scott and Erik Nethken were given com-mendations for stopping a county inmate from attacking his public

defender with a pen in what would otherwise have likely been a serious injury incident, according to the award citation.

Four offi cers, David Bruening, Randy Barnes, Jason Hertel and Jerry Chrachol were given the de-partments Medal for Valor for their evacuation efforts during the Lower North Fork Fire. The four actually became trapped by the fl ames and smoke at one point, and waited in a partially burned fi eld until the fi re line had passed them by. Then, they continued work on assisting evacu-ees.

Deputy Elias Alberti was on pa-trol duty along I-70 one day when reports of a Pontiac, traveling over 100 miles per hour with no breaks

and a stuck accelerator, came over the radio. The deputy actually moved his car in front of the run-away vehicle, and used his breaks to eventually stop the car.

Later that same day Alberti suc-cessfully talked a suicidal individual away from the ledge of a bridge.

Other offi cers and citizens were recognized for excellent work, both heroic, and just helpful, like the bank employee who worked after hours with police to fi nd a miss-ing woman, or the Gavin Prejean, a state-recognized police and fi re dis-patch trainer.

Ending the event were awards for 20, 25, 30 and 35 years of service with the department, followed by a few promotions.

HOLIDAY GOODIES

Totally MAD covers magazines 60-year history There are many things

you still wish you had from your childhood.

Freedom to play, for one. The ability to make a fool of yourself and not care. How about your old toys? Youd be rich right now if you still had them.

Oh, and that pile of com-ic books and magazines that you stored in your bed-room closet. You wish you still had those, too.

Just holding them would take you back to being a kid again, which is why youll want Totally MAD: 60 Years of Humor, Satire, Stupid-ity and Stupidity, edited by John Ficarra and published by Time Home Entertain-ment.

When Bill Gaines in-herited Educational Com-ics (known as EC) in the early 1950s, the companys output was mostly kiddie comics. Gaines, however, was creative and wanted to experiment. He came up with a horror comic he called MAD, changing EC into Entertainment Comics.

Gaines was somewhat of an eccentric. His MAD of-fi ce was fi lled with paper, rubber stamps and a life-size King Kong head. He was

unshaven, unkempt, and sometimes off the rails. Once, after MAD changed offi ces, he had lunch at a nearby restaurant, then in-formed the management that he would bring guests to their establishment sev-eral times a week if he didnt have to wear a tie.

They insisted on ties. Gaines never ate there again.

During Gaines years at the head of MAD, the maga-zine consisted of 48 pages of black-and-white draw-ings. There were occasion-al, thicker issues but the standard had no frills. And it was Cheap as little as a dime an issue in the early days.

In 1956, MADs toothy spokeskid made his debut.

Gaines didnt like Al-fred E. Neuman at fi rst, and had to be con-vinced that there were endless possibilities for

the iconic mascot. Alfreds presence led to a lawsuit for copyright infringement at one point, but the maga-zine won. The What? Me, Worry? kid didnt worry and neither, reportedly, did Gaines.

In 1997, fi ve years after Bill Gaines death, MAD was re-organized, re-populated with a few new artists, and re-launched. Its appear-ance had altered slightly, it cost more, it now accepted paid ads, and its presence was cemented in pop cul-ture.

So who didnt grow up with MAD Magazine? If you did, youll fi nd To-tally MAD to be (almost-but-not-quite) completely

fun. This history of MAD Magazine is not a thorough, detailed one but I didnt mind that. Just reading the little-known stories is great, like joining a secret club. Thats enough to satisfy big kids who grew up with Dave Berg, Sergio Aragones, Dick De Bartolo, Don Mar-tin, and surprise! Chevy Chase.

The disappointment is that many articles are mere samples. Youll get half a TV satire. Two pages of what was once a multi-page gag. It doesnt happen ev-erywhere, but it happened enough that the tease made me, well mad.

Still, this is pure nos-talgia for former kids of all ages, and fans will love it anyhow. If your funny bone and hip attitude were shaped by a gap-toothed smile and eight-issues-a-year, then Totally MAD is a book youll wish you had.

Six ways to guarantee holiday stressWith the elections behind us (at least

the voting and political ads are behind us), we can now turn our full attention to the holidays.

The holidays? Yes, they are upon us, even though weve

been seeing decorations and gift ideas since before Halloween (anyone else think that might be a tad early?).

This holiday season promises to be espe-cially intense because Nov. 1 was a Thurs-day, meaning that Thanksgiving tradi-tionally the fourth Thursday of the month is earlier than usual, effective adding an-other week before Christmas.

Depending on your point of view, this is either good news or not-so-good news.

Relatives, visitors, cooking and shopping can make petty annoyances seem monu-mental at this time of year.

We might think were doing a great job, but if were showing our stress, other people are noticing.

To be clear, stress is internal and/or ex-ternal pressure that imposes physical and emotional tension, and does not appear only when things are going wrong.

Many of us just dont recognize our stress, especially when our lives are going great.

How could we be stressed?Its not as hard as we might think.Thats why, after years of experi-

ence, I am offering these personally tested ways to guarantee a stressful holiday sea-son:

1) Schedule yourself every minute. Theres enough to do to keep us going

from now till New Years, so we cant slow down.

If we take a break to enjoy some hot co-coa and holiday music, we might relax so much that we end up taking a breather ev-ery day.

And, if we include our family and friends, well spend way too much time enjoying the holidays instead of getting stuff done.

2) Ignore the impact of religious observances on the people around us.

Hey, its the holidays! Everyone should want to do what we want to do, right?

So, we can schedule any workplace, vol-unteer, or personal events when they suit us and only uswho cares if its Christmas Eve

or an important evening during the Festival of Lights?

3) Be perfect. We are perfect the rest of the year, so why

should the holidays be any different? Perfect presents, perfect gift wrapping,

perfect meals including perfect pie crust and the perfect personal message in doz-ens of perfect holiday cards arent out of reach if we put our heads down and ignore any physical fatigue or emotional intensity.

Oh, and we should expect perfection from everyone else well feel so fulfilled.

4) Shun regular commitments. The holidays are way more important

than the ordinary things we do every day to keeps our lives and the lives of our fami-lies and coworkers running smoothly.

If we just cant make regular car pools, attend meetings, put out garbage or unload dishwashers throughout the next month and a half, people will understand, right?

5) Ban holiday activities. Seeing their own children in the school

play may be a once-in-a-lifetime experi-ence for our coworkers, but we must re-main inflexible theres a job to be done.

If we volunteer to pitch in and help a col-league, friend or relative, who knows what

will happen? They might even (gasp!) ask again next year.

6) Believe were in this alone. Were the only ones who have too much

to do, and too little time to do it. No one else has the financial pressures,

child-care issues, inflated expectations, or have-to-be-in-two-places-right-now con-flicts that we have.

No one can empathize so its not worth getting together to make connections and show our support. Would anyone else do that for us?

If we stick to these guidelines, we can be sure to experience a full measure of stress, and show it to others, from today till way after the New Year, especially if we overex-tend our budgets, foist our commitments on other people or refuse to cover for someone else and demand flawlessness from ourselves and others.

And, be sure not to smile, sing or laugh, people will think we actually believe the holidays are the hap-hap-happiest time of the year.

Ho, ho, ho!

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Happy Thanksgiving, from the year 2022So. Its Thanksgiving. And this year Im

thankful for blah, blah, blah. Dont get me wrong. I have a lot to be

thankful for this year. But everybody does that column.

This year, Im going to hop into my little time machine, and do something thats never been attempted before: Write my Thanksgiving column from 10 years in the future. Thats right me and Marty McFly, coming at you from the year 2022.

Give me just a minute here ... checking the flux ... confirming telemetry ... OK, so here we go.

This year I am thankful that the border problems between Mexico and Texas have been resolved relatively peacefully.

I have friends that tried to immigrate this year, and boy! is it dangerous once you get south of the Rio Grande! They keep telling me how much money there is to be made down there, though.

I am very thankful that Gov. Elway de-cided against allowing a statue of himself to be placed outside the new Bronco Stadium.

Sure, the first two Super Bowls were his, but these last four were as much Manning and Sanchez as anybody.

Likewise, Im thankful that the Rockies/

Shuckers had just as bad a first year in Lin-coln as they did for the last 12 in Denver.

You can take the team out of the alti-tude, but you cant take the suck out of the team.

I am so thankful for corn chips and the leading role their production is playing in Colorados economy last few years, as well as the brilliance of Boulder Foods in buying up the Twinkies brand and producing here.

Talk about your economic firewall! I am thankful that the foresight voters showed in 2012 by passing a mill levy over-ride for JeffcO schools is paying off with the Futures Award from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Those ability-grouping and technology reforms we put in back in 2016 have made more than one group sit up and take notice.

Im even thinking about coming out of retirement, just to see if the Max Head-room-like virtual teaching assistant knows anything about music.

I am also thankful that the discovery of resonant crystalline radiation has made the massive fossil-fuel and nuclear power generators of the past obsolete.

Cant wait for the day when somebody miniaturizes the technology to run my car.

I am thankful that the Sino-Aussie Conglomerate effectively blocked African Union efforts to close the Indian Ocean to commercial traffic.

Where would we get our cars if they couldnt take the short trip from India to the West?

I am very thankful for the 15 states that blocked the repeal of the 22nd Amendment back in 2016. What a fiasco those other 42 states would have heaped on us!

I am thankful that the U.N. Peacekeep-ing mission in Nova Scotia is coming to a close.

My son is just a couple years away from conscription whew!

Im thankful that the cyber-fence that got put around Washington, D.C., seems to be doing a decent job keeping some of the

really stupid ideas quarantined. Frankly, Im pretty thankful for the nice weather this week.

Im not sure I can handle these cold win-ters any more. I may have to move to Costa Rica for something a little more temperate.

Im also thankful that this year saw an actual bit of economic growth in Northern Europe.

While Andalusia is still mired in a deep depression and the Central States seem intent on returning to the dark ages, at least the leadership in Rejkjavic acts as if it has some clue what is going on.

And finally, I must express my thankful-ness for my wife and children for sticking with me through yet one more year. What can I say, guys?

Ive got a good feeling about 2023! Maybe theres even room in the house for a grandkid this year (but no pressure!)

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Celebrate the HolidaysCelebrate the HolidaysCelebrate the HolidaysCelebrate the HolidaysCelebrate the HolidaysCelebrate the HolidaysHoliday craft fair how-to

Craft fairs and fl ea mar-kets are a staple of the holiday season. Not only are they ideal places to fi nd one-of-a-kind gifts for anyone on your holi-day shopping list, but they also are great oppor-tunities for small business owners to broaden their client base while making a relatively small invest-ment.

Each year schools, churches, senior clubs, and other organizations open their doors to holi-day fairs in an effort to raise money for their re-spective organizations. In some towns, fairs have expanded into temporary shopping markets where shoppers can go from booth to booth to fi nd the perfect gift.

Being a part of one of these events can be as simple as paying the en-trance fee and setting up a table. Individuals who have never sold wares at events such as these could fi nd that they do quite well with such a captive audience. You do not have to be a professional sales person or event organizer to get involved.

Research opportunities

Community resource pages or Web sites are often good sources of in-formation about events the city or town will host. Church bulletins and notices sent home from school may also list such announcements. Make a list of the events that are being held and see where they are located, what the cost is for being a part of the event and how much of a crowd the event fi g-ures to draw. These decid-ing factors will help you to gear your efforts toward the fairs that stand to be the most benefi cial to you.

It is adviseable to begin your search early so that

you will have ample time to prepare for the fair, in-cluding conforming to the fairs requirements.

Know the rules and regulations

Each fair asks differ-ent things of its vendors. Some events will have booths or tables provided for you, but many will re-quire you to bring all the essentials and simply al-lot you a space. Fairs that are held outdoors could necessitate the use of a pop-up tent, particularly if inclement weather is on the horizon.

Electricity may be pro-vided with some events, or you may be allowed to bring a generator. The event organizer also may have specifi c rules about table sizes, confi guration, use of tablecloths to hide storage boxes or materi-als, decorating options and more.

Carefully read over the guidelines for the event before you send in your registration fee. This way you know what youre getting involved with and wont risk losing your de-posit for cancellation.

Set the sceneAlthough shoppers will

be there to select among products, and those prod-ucts should be able to sell themselves, the atmo-sphere surrounding your booth should be designed to attract customers. Sometimes a little window dressing makes a person more inclined to make a purchase. Keep this in mind as you design your booth.

If you are selling cro-cheted blankets for ba-bies, set up a rocking chair or bassinet with a doll and display the blanket as it would be used. Those sell-ing body lotions or other toiletries may want to cre-

ate a spa atmosphere at their boot, complete with some aromatherapy can-dles and a cushioned seat in which shoppers can sit down and try some free samples.

In addition, decorate with a holiday theme that fi ts the season.

Be mindful of budgetYour goal is to make

money when attend-ing this event. So spend minimally and invest in display items that can be used again or customized for other uses. You do not want to break the bank decorating your booth or table, only to fi nd that your sales are minimal.

When setting up the display, be conservative with how much stock you set out. You want your dis-play to look like you have enough offerings, but you dont want to be left with

too many extras at the end of the day. Offer options to shop online or for cus-tom-ordered items so that you do not have to have 200 Christmas tree orna-ments made for that day. This allows you to spread out your costs.

Offer a freebieWho can pass up a free

item? A bowl with candy or samples of your prod-uct may be all thats need-ed to draw customers into your booth. Another idea is to have potential cus-tomers fi ll out an entry form that will be drawn for a prize. Not only are you encouraging people to come to the table, but you also are collecting valuable marketing infor-mation that can be used at a later date to follow-up with customers and help you make future sales.

Participate with a palMany fairs stretch on for

hours, so it is adviseable to do it with a friend or family member so you will have someone to talk to and also to man the booth while you step away for a bathroom or snack break. The hours will pass by much more quickly when you have some conversa-tion going.

Be friendly and smileA warm smile can entice

people to stop by. Talk up your products but dont be too pushy. If you are en-thusiastic about what you are selling, theres a good chance others will be en-thusiastic, too.

Tuesday Date & Skate Nights at Belmar

By Sandi Austinsaustin@ourcoloradonews.com

(As told by the rst-graders of Mrs. Havilands class at Westminsters Arapa-hoe Ridge Elementary School)

The story of the fi rst Thanksgiving began play-ing out 3,000 years ago when a group of 20 or 30 people known as Pil-grims wanted to leave their home country of Canada to fi nd a better place. The leader of Can-ada, King George, made them unhappy.

The Pilgrims set sail from Canada on a large ship called the Mayfl ower and spend one year trav-eling on the ocean. It was winter when they saw their new country on the horizon. It was a strange place to them, and it was very cold, so the Pilgrims decided to stay on the Mayfl ower until spring.

When they moved the ship to the shore, the fi rst person they encountered was King George Wash-ington, Americas very fi rst king. Then the Pilgrims met the Native American Indians who had been liv-ing there for a long time. The Indians and Pilgrims must have looked very strange to each other.

The Pilgrim men wore black pants. Some wore small gold hats, but most opted for the traditional tall black hats adorned with a buckle. The women wore black dresses with white tank tops. The chil-dren wore miniature ver-sions of the grownups attire. The Indians were dressed completely dif-

ferently with their leath-er clothing that made them look strong. The men wore tiaras deco-rated with feathers. Even though they were very different from each other, the Indians and Pilgrims soon became friends.

Since the Pilgrims were new to the land and didnt really know how to take care of themselves, the In-dians showed them how to hunt, fi sh and plant crops. They were such good teachers that the Pil-grims had grown a plenti-ful crop and had excelled at hunting and fi shing. To celebrate their good for-tune, they wanted to have a dinner of thanksgiving. Twenty or 30 people and Jesus got together to pre-pare for the festivities.

The men gathered fi re-wood, got the tables ready and built a fi re while the women prepared the meal. All the children helped as well. The turkey was placed on the fi re to cook for 75 to 100 min-utes. With the turkey, ev-eryone ate potatoes, corn, other vegetables and ravi-oli. There was even a nice pumpkin pie for dessert.

When the meal was fi nished and the cleanup was done, the adults took a rest to settle their tum-mies while the children

played games like bows and arrows, SpongeBob and Sharks and Minnows.

That fi rst Thanksgiving 3,000 years ago was a great day for everyone to thank God for their food, their horses and each other. And it is still a great day to give thanks.

Thankful for food, horses and each other

Where were you born?Denver, Colorado- I am a 4th generation Colorado Na-

tive. My Great Grandfather was born outside of the Castle Rock area when it was e Colorado Territory.

How long have you lived in the area?I have lived in the Denver area all my life; except

for two years, I lived in Cleveland, Ohio, while playing professional football for the Cleveland Browns.

What do you like most about it?I love the change in seasons and having the mountains

in our own backyard. e Denver area has so much to of-fer and escaping to the mountains is just minutes away.

How long have you worked in Real Estate?I have worked in real estate for almost 41

years. I attended the University of Colorado where I played college football. I was dra ed by the Cleveland Browns. A er my career end-ing injuries, I studied for my Real Estate Li-cense and began selling real estate in 1972.

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

I relate to people of all ages, whether it is their rst home, a new home or the more seasoned buyers. I enjoy working with all of them and building relationships.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?Todays real estate world is complicated and challenging

from beginning to end. Overcoming problems to create a satis ed buyer or seller is a goal I have strived to accom-plish my entire career.

What do you most enjoy doing when youre not work-ing?

I enjoy being with my lovely wife, Linda and doing things with her. We celebrated our 40th

Wedding Anniversary this past May in Italy and enjoy traveling when

we can. Being together and see-ing our kids and grandkids is the best!

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

Find an agent you feel comfortable with and who you feel is knowledgeable and trustworthy.

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

Find an agent who will help you get educated in the market. One who is willing to invest the time with you visiting areas and homes, so you can make an informed decision.

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

Having police o cers, with their guns in hand, greet us as were nishing viewing the home. Neighbors were concerned there was a burglary in process! I didnt sell that home, but it demonstrated how the neighbors looked out for one another!

Q: My understanding is rental vacancies are decreasing and rental rates are in-creasing. Ive also heard that housing prices have hit bottom, are starting to increase and interest rates are at 60-year lows. Is it better to rent or own?

A: You are correct that vacancies are very low and that will continue to impact rental rates. ese factors are driven by the number of people who have lost homes or cant purchase homes given the tighter lend-ing environment.

You are also correct that housing prices in many areas of Colorado are starting to show month-to-month and year-over-year increas-es as inventory of homes available for sale has dropped from about 25,000 to around 10,000. And interest rates, driven by Federal Reserve e orts, a sluggish economy and uncertainty in Europe, are at or near 60-year lows.

Given this environment, the mathemat-ics are in favor of purchasing. If someone rented a home today at $1,200 per month and

rent increases by 3 percent per year, a person would spend over $680,000 for housing over 30 years and own nothing.

A person who purchases a home for $200,000 today with a 30-year xed mort-gage would have payments of about $1,200 per month, which maybe tax deductible, and except for increases in taxes and insurance, would remain constant for 30 years.

Payments over the 30 years would prob-ably be less than $500,000, resulting in sav-ings of over $180,000 compared to renting.

And that house, if it appreciated at 3 percent per year, would be worth $485,000. Total dif-ferenceover $665,000 in favor of owning.

If youre looking to purchase or re nance, seek an experienced, trustworthy, nancially savvy lender you can meet face-to-face who has access to the full spectrum of loan pro-grams. Work with them to select the proper loan program and have them customize the loan to best suit your needs.

For more information on how you can purchase or re nance a home, please contact
