New RTD fares, increased youth discount begin

MY NAME IS

BENJAMIN WOLFF

Beer lover, Denver Beer Co. guest experience director Getting into beer First I was in coffee and I worked at Starbucks for a decade. Then, I met my wife and decided that I was going to follow my dreams. Beer has been my passion. I was a huge homebrewer. So to start, I applied to work at Lefthand Brewing to be a busser. But their marketing team and human resources were regulars at my Starbucks, so they called and asked if I wanted to interview for the bar manage spot. I got that job and spent three years there. Then I applied for Denver Beer Co. and got the job as the general manager at the downtown locating. About a year and a half later we decided we were going to open the Arvada taproom. And six months after that, we opened Cerveceria Colorado, which is our sister company that is all Mexican-inspired American craft beer. The Arvada taproom We had the one year anniversary of the Arvada taproom in June. It’s been a ton of fun. It’s been a great experience. I think a lot of our patrons helped support Denver Beer Co. downtown and then they “adulted” and we’ve seen a lot of people move to the suburbs and they are really excited to have this experience again. Downtown we were known for having food trucks, but when we opened in Olde Town Arvada there were rules about food trucks. So we bought as airstream, gutted it and remodeled it as a food truck and installed it inside the tap room. The Mighty is actually a passion project of the guys that run Lucky Pie Pizza. It’s all local Colorado ingredients. They have burgers, chicken and veggie patties. The fries are where it’s at though. My dad has also said the fried cheese curds are spectacular. And my family is from Wisconsin, so to have it signed-off from what I would say is a cheese curd connoisseur, is pretty awesome. We recognize the value of the community, what that brings to the feeling of a location. We’ve got our own vibe and feel in Arvada that mimics that of downtown. But downtown has its own vibe too. One of my favorite things about the beer industry is that community vibe and building a family locally.

STAFF REPORT

Benjamin Wolff is the guest experience director for Denver Beer Co. SHANNA FORTIER

Changes to the Regional Transportation District’s fares and pass programs that began Jan. 2 include the implementation of a youth fare that increases to 70 percent the discount offered to riders between 6 and 19 years old, RTD announced in a news release. The new, age-based youth discount — no longer requiring enrollment in elementary, middle or high school — is one of several key changes that are now in effect. Another new product is the three-hour pass, enabling riders to travel for up to three hours in any direction within the fare category for which they have paid — for example, local or regional — replacing the one-way transfer or ticket. New RTD fares also became effective Jan. 2. New full-price fares are: $3 for local; $5.25 for regional; and $10.50 for a trip to or from DIA, or for a regional day pass. Riders who qualify for half-price discount fares include seniors (65 and older), individuals with disabilities and Medicare recipients. Proof of eligibility is required. RTD’s new half-price discount fares are $1.50 for local; $2.60 for regional; and $5.25 for DIA trip or regional day pass. Discounted fares for youths will increase to 70 percent. Proof of eligibility is required. RTD’s new youth fares are 90 cents for local, $1.60 for regional; and $3.20 for DIA trip or regional day pass. A new low-income program set to begin in summer 2019 will provide a 40 percent discount to qualifying riders whose household incomes are at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level. Interested customers will have to qualify and enroll in the program to receive the low-income fare. EcoPass, Neighborhood EcoPass and CollegePass will continue to be offered and will be priced based upon trips taken. The 10-Ride ticket books and MyRide smart cards have been retained with discounts. Day and monthly passes and FlexPass have been retained. ValuPass has been discontinued, with the purchase of 12 monthly passes remaining an option for those who are interested. More information is available by calling RTD Customer Care at 303-299-6000 or visiting rtddenver.com/fares-2019.shtml.

What's Next? our core beers — those are the ones we can and keg. But then we have our individual beers. You could spend an afternoon just here trying the things that are only available in Olde Town Arvada. Right now the Big Juicy Freak is available at both locations, but it’s a pretty limited run. But the Coffee Black is a coffee stout and a collaborative beer done with Hunter Bay Coffee Roasters down the street. That’s only available in Arvada. The Pecan GCP is also only available right here.

Beer, bacon and coffee On Jan. 19 and 20 we are holding our annual Beer, Bacon and Coffee Fest. We open at 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. prior to normal business hours. Tickets can be bought online. Then it is all of the beer, bacon and coffee you can consume in that three hour time frame. We will take everything that is normally on tap off and we’ll have a limited run of breakfast-style beers — everything from coffee IPA to Cinnamon Toast Crunch porter. It’s a really interesting spread every year. Everyone gets coffee mugs to drink out of and a breakfast burrito. We’ll do the event again in March downtown.

Even if You’re a Sophisticated Buyer or Seller, You Need Us — And Here’s Why...

Perhaps you’ve heard the expression, “A lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.” Most lawyers respect that truism, which is why you see lawyers hiring other lawyers when they are sued or criminally charged.. The same truism can be applied to real estate. Just this week I received a contract to buy one of my listings from a couple who are both real estate agents, but the offer was written by another agent. (I suspect he will share his 2.8% coop commission with his buyers.) There are also many buyers and sellers who aren’t agents but who are sufficiently experienced at buying and selling real estate to be considered “sophisticated” buyers or sellers. These persons may understandably think that they don’t need professional representation, saving themselves (if they’re selling) 3% or so on a listing commission. If they are buying without representation, they may try to negotiate a lower purchase price from the seller because of not having an agent who would earn part of the listing agent’s commission. Let me go over each scenario separately — buying and selling. Buyers typically pay nothing for professional representation, since buyers’ agents are universally compensated by the listing agent at a rate spelled out in the multi-list service (or “MLS”) to which all agents belong. Our Denver metro MLS is called REcolorado. Its website is www.REcolorado.com, which

has both a consumer-facing and agent-facing side. If you’re a buyer, you can go to that website and see all the listings which are currently available for purchase, and you can click on a link to email or call the agent for each listing. After determining that you don’t have a buyer’s agent of your own, the listing agent will be delighted to help you buy his listing because he won’t have to give away half his commission to another agent. And he’ll probably ask you to hire him as a buyer’s agent if his own listing is not what you choose to buy, in which case he could earn 2.8% on that purchase. If you, as a buyer, work with the listing agent, he will not, by law, be working in your best interest. At best, he’ll be a transaction broker, advising neither you nor his seller in the transaction. He (or she) won’t be able to advise you on what the value of the home is and what you should offer, or how to respond to a counterproposal from the seller. He also won’t be able to advise you on inspection or other issues that arise during the transaction. Moreover, the chances are that the seller is paying the exact same commission to the listing agent whether or not he has to share that commission with an agent you hire to represent you in the transaction. My own research has shown that only 15% of listing agreements have a provision in which the commission is reduced when the agent doesn’t have to split his commission with a buyer’s agent. I know this to be true, be-

I’ve written about how newspapers work in the past. (See my Feb. 2, 2017, column on “The Rules of Professional Journalism,” archived at www.JimSmithColumns.com.) Being a journalist myself, schooled in the importance of keeping personal opinion out of news articles, as distinct from columns or editorials, it continues to bother me that the general public doesn’t recognize these distinctions. Because of that, it’s easy for someone to dismiss factual news articles as “fake” based on the publication’s editorial position. Yes, the Washington Post and New York

Times express liberal and even “anti-Trump” positions in their editorial pages and many of their op-ed columns, but the people for write for the news pages are solid professionals who report just the facts, uncolored by their own or their editorial board’s positions on a given topic. While tradition may dictate that each newspaper have opinion pages vs. news pages, it doesn’t have to be that way. I think that newspapers might do themselves, their readers and society a favor by deleting editorial and op-ed pages and printing only readers’ letters.

In Defense of Journalists — They’re Working for You

cause the MLS requires the listing agent to disclose the existence of a “variable commission” in his or her listing. That’s one of the fields that is not displayed on the consumerfacing side of the MLS. There are additional reasons why a buyer (in my opinion) should hire an agent instead of working directly with a listing agent — except when it’s a Golden Real Estate listing, as I’ll explain below. The most important reason is that a buyer’s agent, in addition to being your advocate in a transaction, has more access to information about listings than you have as a consumer. For starters, agents have valuation software not available to consumers, so you’ll know whether a home’s listing price is reasonable. Zillow’s famous “zestimates,” by themselves, are not a dependable indicator of a property’s value. Second, agents can do searches using any field on the MLS, not just the fields that are available to you as a consumer. Do you require a main-floor master? A second master suite? A fenced yard for your dog? An unfinished (or finished) basement? Members of the MLS can set up searches on virtually any criterion that is important to you, and the system will notify you and your agent within 15 minutes of a new listing matching your specific search criteria. As a buyer working with Golden Real Estate, you’ll enjoy added advantages to having representation, up to totally free moving using our own moving trucks, boxes and packing materials. With our focus on sustainability, one of our favorite closing gifts to buyers is a free energy audit of your new home — a $350 value. And if you have a home to sell, we reduce our commission on selling your current home. Call any of our agents at 303-302-3636 for details of the other benefits offered to buyers.

Now let’s look at why sellers need to have professional representation. Understandably, sellers have a huge incentive to not use an agent — they want to save on the listing commission, which they assume (wrongly) is set at 6%. That would be a violation of federal antitrust laws. All commissions are negotiable. My personal rate is 5.6%, which I reduce to 4.6% if I don’t have to give 2.8% to a buyer’s agent. And I reduce those figures by another 1% if I earn a commission on the purchase of your replacement home. Because of federal laws against price fixing, I can’t dictate (or even discuss) what our other agents charge. That’s still a lot of money, so you need to know what you’re getting for it. At Golden Real Estate, you get a free staging consultation, magazine quality HDR still photos and professional quality narrated video tours which are posted on YouTube, the MLS, consumer real estate websites and on the custom website which we create for each listing. (Go to GRElistings.com to see the custom websites for our active listings.) We also provide free use of our moving trucks and moving boxes both to our sellers and to whoever buys our listings, even if their agent is with another brokerage. And, of course, all listings are featured in this column which appears throughout both Denver and Jefferson counties. We also have a proven track record of getting the highest possible prices for our sellers because of our skill at negotiating with buyers and their agents. Most listing agents will not reveal the offers they have in hand when they get multiple offers. We treat that situation like an auction, where everyone knows the highest current offer, and we regularly bid up the purchase price for our sellers — and the buyers and their agents appreciate not losing in a blind bidding situation

Clydesdales help usher in new beer laws As 2019 begins, grocery and convenience stores can sell full-strength brews

Rudy Helmuth prepares to lead Cash, a Budweiser Clydesdale, to the Colorado state Capitol to celebrate the beginning of fullstrength beer sales at grocery stores in Colorado.

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales visited the Colorado Capitol on Dec. 31 to celebrate the repeal, effective New Year’s Day, of laws that prevented sales of beer greater than 3.2 percent alcohol by weight in most Colorado grocery and convenience stores. “We’re happy to celebrate this day with Coloradans while the state embraces modern beer laws that will help the Centennial State’s vibrant beer industry continue to prosper,” said Greg Sollazzo, Anheuser-Busch regional vice president. Not everyone was celebrating, though. Some owners of local liquor stores are concerned about taking a possible hit to their sales this year. The change is due to Senate Bill 16197, passed in 2016, which eliminates the two tiers for sales and allows all retailers licensed to sell beer to do so, regardless of alcohol content. This means Coloradans can now buy full-strength beer at liquor stores, grocery stores, convenience stores, gas stations and big-box retailers such as Walmart, Target, Costco and Sam’s Club. Hours for beer sales every day are 8 a.m. to midnight. The new law will not change where wine and liquor can be purchased. Only licensed liquor stores can sell wine and liquor in Colorado. Hard cider is considered wine under the law, so to find the full-strength versions Coloradans will still need to buy it from a liquor store. Ben Ammari, manager of Vineland Liquors in north Arvada, said he believes his family-run liquor store will take a 10 percent hit on beer sales over the next year. Their store is located about 10 blocks from two King Soopers stores and one Safeway. “I think the first two to three months are going to show a lot,”

Ammari said. “We will adapt to what we need to in order to survive. The way I look at it is that, hopefully, the Colorado community will continue to back the family-owned stores.” Under the new rules, some 1,600 stores will have their licenses automatically upgraded, allowing them to replace their 3.2 percent beer with higher-alcohol content brews. That includes more than 100 stores for both King Soopers and Safeway, according to state records. Grocers are promising a diverse set of options — including local beer unique to different regions as well as mega-brewers, such as AnheuserBusch and Coors, and larger craft breweries, including Boston Beer, New Belgium and Sierra Nevada. “This bill made tomorrow a historic day in Colorado,” Senate Minority Leader Chris Holbert, R-Parker, said on New Year’s Eve. “We’ve worked together to bring us to this point. Beer will finally be beer in Colorado.”

Influenza cases on the rise in Colorado It’s not too late to get a flu shot, says Tri-County Health STAFF REPORT

Colorado has seen a recent spike in flu cases, and laboratory testing and outpatient visits indicate that the state has entered a period of more intense influenza activity, according to a news

release from the Tri-County Health Department. More than 570 people have been hospitalized since the flu season started in early October, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Of these, 25 percent are older than 65, and 26 percent are younger than 18. Based on similar patterns from previous seasons, influenza activity is expected to continue to escalate, with peak activity from now through

February, according to the Tri-County news release. This is due to exposure during holiday gatherings, from travel around the country and from children who were exposed while school was in session but who spent time at home during the holidays. “Colorado and Georgia have been declared by the CDC to be the states currently at the highest flu risk, so one of the best things you can for your health as we start 2019 is to get a flu shot if you haven’t already gotten yours,” Dr.

John M. Douglas Jr., executive director of Tri-County Health, said in the release. “People who are at higher risk of developing flu-related complications include children younger than 5, adults 65 and older, pregnant women, and people with medical conditions or compromised immune systems. These people should be treated with medication when flu symptoms first begin.” SEE INFLUENZA, P24

Judge grants class-action status in West Metro Fire case Up to 74 former West Metro employees are set to join the lawsuit BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After a Jefferson County District judge’s decision at least 74 former West Metro Fire District employees will join a lawsuit against the fire district. The ruling turns what had been a lawsuit by two people against the fire district into a class-action suit on behalf of the larger group.

Tim O’Hayre and Ruth Brienza filed the lawsuit against West Metro Fire District, alleging that the Executive Committee of IAFF Local 1309, a union for current employees of West Metro Fire District and West Metro Fire, gave away funds from a health trust that had been intended for retirees. The funds were contributed to current employees’ retirement health savings accounts — something West Metro Fire says was an appropriate action. However, O’Hayre and Brienza believe that they and other retirees and dependents from West Metro Fire were entitled to money that remained in the health trust.

The judge’s ruling in support of a class action, means the suit is now on behalf of all retired firefighters and their dependents who were allegedly wronged by the money transfer. “I’m very pleased with the (certification of class) ruling. It gives a clear legal path to have representation for all of the retirees effected,” said O’Hayre in a statement to the Lakewood Sentinel. The trial is scheduled for Feb. 5, 2019 in a Jefferson County District Court. West Metro Fire, a full-service fire department that serves more than 250,000 residents in Jefferson County

and Douglas County, declined to comment on the latest judicial ruling. In a previous statement regarding the case, the department stated: “West Metro felt that those active employees who had been paying in the Retiree Health Account were entitled to a portion of those funds since they would no longer be receiving the health benefit they had been paying for.” The fire department also added that its move to reimburse current employees fit the mission of the health trust. The health trust was created by SEE FIRE, P24

Q&A with Kimberly Field

Author of “New Frontiers: A History of Arvada, Colorado 1976-2006”

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

How did you get into historical writing? My background is in history and archaeology and I’m involved in historic preservation in Colorado. I’ve always been drawn to dig into what lies beneath, what came before, what made us who we are. I’ve written several books on Colorado history, including “The Denver Mint: 100 Years of Gangsters, Gold, and Ghosts.” Why was the history of Arvada on your radar? To paraphrase Gertrude Stein, “There’s a lot of there, there.” Arvada is cool. It is a real town with an authentic historic downtown that other communities can only dream of emulating. Great communities don’t just happen. Arvada experienced the postwar boom enjoyed by many small towns in the Denver area. Each grew and prospered in its own unique way. I wanted to know why Arvada was so fortunate to develop and grow as it had. Arvada offers the best of

GET THE BOOK The Arvada Historical Society’s latest book on the rich history of Arvada — “New Frontiers, A History of Arvada 1976 to 2006” by Kimberly Field — is now available at the McIlvoy House, 7307 Grandview Ave., open 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; and at the Arvada Chamber of Commerce, 7305 Grandview Ave., open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Cost is $45 cash or check. For additional information, call 303-421-2032. Kim Field and Dr. Thomas J. Noel, Colorado’s State Historian, show off Field’s new book on Arvada’s history from 1976 to 2006. COURTESY PHOTO what we love about living in the Denver metro area, but it has its mysteries. How did the Arvada Center — a worldclass arts venue — come to be? How did Olde Town escape the wrecking ball? Who came up with these crazy roads and how do I get back onto Kipling? How did you connect with the Arvada Historical Society? The City of Arvada and community leaders actively work to preserve and document Arvada’s history. My

book is one of several that the city and the Arvada Historical Society have produced over the years. The AHS and the city know how important history is to strengthening the fabric of community. Other cities should have Arvada’s commitment. I wrote a centennial history of Arvada’s neighbor Westminster. I was thrilled when the society asked me to write the history of modern Arvada. We spent several months envisioning the book. We wanted a scholarly book

Does your dog:

documenting life in Arvada in the last half of the 20th century that could be used by researchers in the future. But we also wanted it to be a great read. Readers will find footnotes and photographs in equal measure. Arvada’s history is interesting and entertaining. What made you want to be part of this project? History is about people. Because “New Frontiers” covers the last 50 years or so, many of the history makers were eager to participate. I spoke with hundreds of indi-

viduals who were involved or associated with events in this book. I let them tell the story in their own words, in their voices. We stirred up some deep memories and emotions — mostly pleasant, but also some that were quite difficult. Everyone was very candid in sharing their recollections. People told me many times that they wanted an honest history. In fact, Arvada’s longest-serving mayor, Bob Frie, told me not to write from the city’s point of view. We did not gloss over the messy parts. I enjoyed talking with people across the spectrum. They may not see eye to eye, but they were always kind and respectful of others. Arvadans are nice people. What was the most interesting tidbit you came across? I was most surprised at how difficult it was to write about Rocky Flats. Longtime City Manager Craig Kocian was right when he told me that I could not underestimate the importance of Rocky Flats to Arvada. I found Rocky Flats to be more complex and nuanced than I ever imagined. SEE HISTORY, P10

Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza, a fast-casual pizza franchise based in St. Petersburg, Florida, will be coming to the greater Denver area. Arvada residents Andy and Jamie Gunther are the franchise owners and plan to open three stores in the area. Their goal is to open the first store by summer 2019, and are focused on opening in Arvada’s Candelas area. “We really like all of our neighbors,” Jamie Gunther said. “I did a lot of soliciting and there’s not a lot out here, so people are really anxious for more retail.” Andy Gunther said that since they were going into the food business and live in an area where people want more choices, it only makes sense to open in that area. The couple has a nearby spot picked out, but it is still under construction. They are also looking at the Denver West area on the edge of Golden and Lakewood as another possible location. The act of opening up a franchised restaurant is new for the Gunthers.

HISTORY FROM PAGE 8

Rocky Flats loomed over Arvada both literally and figuratively. Beliefs about Rocky Flats are deeply held and perhaps immovable. It is a fascinating chapter in our nation’s history. Anything else you want the Arvada community to know? The people of Arvada, from the city leaders to the business community to

Andy has worked in technology for 20 years and Jamie is currently a personal trainer at Apex Park and Recreation District. “We started talking about the idea of franchises, and I swear Facebook listens because the next morning on my Facebook feed, there pops up this advertisement for Smokin’ Oak franchises,” Andy Gunther said. “I started investigating that and other franchises. And they had a really good program.” The Gunthers said that the company’s sense of community and fresh ingredients were big draws for them. Fresh ingredients is also something Matt Mongoven, Smokin’ Oak WoodFired Pizza Chief Executive Officer hopes draws in customers. “What we like about Colorado is people tend to really appreciate the freshness of ingredients and knowing where their food is coming from,” Mongoven said. “We really believe that freshness is part of the DNA of Smokin’ Oak Wood Fired Pizza.” Some unique aspects of the Colorado stores will be tweaking the brands pizza dough recipe and adding green chilis as a topping. “Dough making is a science and we want to make sure that if you’re buying a pizza in Colorado or wherever we have a location, it’s the same,” Mongoven said. “We may need to make a few tweaks here and there to accommodate for the altitude, but we will make sure we get that right.”

colorful individuals, imagined huge, audacious, off-the-charts things for their city. It might seem impossible to build a world-class arts venue in the Denver suburbs, but they did. With the always-controversial urban renewal, Arvada succeeded where other communities failed. It took vision, commitment, hard work and more than a little luck. Arvadans owe a debt of gratitude to those who, over the past 50 years, made this community the gem that it is. A new generation must carry that fearlessness into Arvada’s future.

VOICES A look back at the dimmer bulbs on this year’s tree

HITTING HOME

s it possible that Christmas 2018 was the season in which American life reached peak stupid? Of course that’s a rhetorical question — I have no doubt that there are many further depths of stupid that we can still plumb. And that’s Michael Alcorn saying something, considering that we are at the end of a year in which Michael Avenatti was actually, seriously, considering a run for President. This guy is a lawyer made most famous by

representing porn star Stormy Daniels in a lawsuit against President Trump … which they lost … which caused a judge to order HER to pay almost $300,000 in fees. No, that wasn’t enough for this guy. His next client was a lady who alleged that a Supreme Court nominee participated in organizing gang rapes when he was a youth … and then went on television and foreswore any knowledge of any such incident. But, just for fun, let’s take a look at the season just passed and see how deep we’ve dug so far. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I submit Exhibit A: “Rudolph, the RedNosed Reindeer,” which, apparently now, glorifies bullying. Or something. Never mind the message about over-

coming challenges and finding your own path, or alternative giftedness, or, you know … fun. I would think people would be more bothered by the idea of a dentist working without any training or anesthetic or disinfectant, but maybe the elves are hypoallergenic. Exhibit B: Charlie Brown. Within days of “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” being shown on Thanksgiving Eve, the internet erupted with outrage over the seating of Franklin at the Thanksgiving table. It would appear the makeshift meal, put together at the last minute at a picnic table, was racist because Franklin is in a broken lawn chair on the opposite side of the table from the others. So, instead of celebrating that Charles M. Schulz was the first

cartoonist anywhere, in 1973, to include black children and white children playing together in his stories, we have to judge everything now through the arrogance of “modern enlightenment.” Exhibit C: “Kiss the Girl.” No, I know—this isn’t really about Christmas. But it came up at Christmastime. Apparently, one of the famous men’s glee clubs at one of our flagship institutions — the Ivy League — made a habit of asking a woman from the audience onstage while singing this, and then encouraged one of the men to come onstage and kiss her. Okay, I get it — that’s a little passe in this day and age. But, in an attempt to show SEE ALCORN, P13

G LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A retort of Doray It’s about time ... for supporting the free press, written by Andrea Doray greatly confuses this issue. Exactly who is a part and where does a “Free Press” exist? Why should these concepts be “the” definition? A Free Press concept is of our selected governmental system/laws. For what reason is it just for “journalists,” members or employees of corporations or those trying to present their “factual truths, compassions and influences” only? The Bill of Rights is in our Constitution! It is applied to all USA citizens or to visitors here as protections. It comes with great responsibilities. First Amendment rights apply to all here in what they say or want to, within limits not to create life-threatening dangers. Today many request this right to express language or ideas judged

offensive (not PC). But in Doray’s piece, this right is only for journalists “besieged” or facing “perils,” their support groups, those employed in publishing corporations and those groups or individuals “press” deem worthy. Today this journalistic effort in response, all media including films and online sources, all recognize their own “individual truths” based on their own lives and experiences, can be part of a “Free Press” now. Press should recognize all Americans rights to their thoughts without labeling, blaming, chastising or criminalizing people in the court of public opinion.Why is it the press’ right to outcast any American?

There are modern haiku with different configurations, but for the purposes of this contest, I want you to stick to fiveseven-five. Yes: contest.

Traditionally, haiku have referred to nature, but this competition is wide open. Japanese haiku, which led to English haiku, are lovely, and, well, poetic.

Why kneel?” By the way, the plural of “haiku” is “haiku.” Language has become a slapdash of convenience, with very little poetry nearby. When I was growing up, none of my friends said he wanted to be a poet, although we were often impressed by limericks.

Snow science is a fun way for children to learn

inter science is fun and exciting no matter what your weather. You will need a dishpan of snow, ice cubes, wooden spoons, spatulas, measuring cups, measuring spoons, three see through cups, magnifying glass, paper, and markers or crayons. Magnifying Snowflakes If you have had snow recently, but the the weather is nasty today, bring snow inside and place some in a kitchen sink, tub, or dishpan. Give young children kitchen supplies and little plastic lid containers. Encourage them to fill, stir, pat and play in the snow. They can wear mittens, if desired. While the snow is fresh, observe it with a magnifying glass. Place

and fourth lines are shorter and share a different rhyme” (Wikipedia). It was the rude part that attracted us. If someone knew a limerick, they were admired, which was not true with other forms of poetry. Reciting “Barbara Fritchie,” for example, would have been a bad idea; but with a limerick, you’d be in like Flynn. Here’s a-safe-for work example: “There was a young lady of Kent. Whose nose was most awfully bent. She followed her nose. One day I suppose. And no one knows which way she went.” If you’re wondering what “anapestic meter” means, so am I, and I am looking at the definition. “In classical quantitative meters it consists of two short syllables followed by a long one; in accentual stress meters it consists of two unstressed syllables and one stressed syllable” (Wikipedia again).

their enlightenment, not only did the club stop bringing people on stage for this, they have stopped singing the song altogether. And one of the intellectual luminaries at their institution decried the song for encouraging the Prince to kiss the girl without a single affirmative word of consent … from the girl who couldn’t speak … and who would only find her voice if he kissed her. What is truly shocking is that nobody has protested its heteronormative assumptions …yet. And, finally, Exhibit D: “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” People (and I have a number of adjectives to adjust that title which I will leave out) were offended by the coercive tone of the male trying to talk a young lady into staying at his place for a while longer. Never mind that it was written in the 40s, and the

Science Fun Try a little experiment with three see through cups. Fill one with snow, one with ice cubes, and another with water. Fill them to the same marked amount and set them on the counter while you do other activities. Check the cups every 20 minutes to see if they have changed. If you don’t have snow, make some in a blender with ice cubes. While the snow is melting have a little science discussion. Snow crystals are small pieces of ice

And I thought limericks were written by old sods just having a pint. There is an underlying structure with all good writing that sometimes goes unnoticed. My own strategies are so subtle, however, that it could be gathered they don’t exist. But if you look closely, you’d find a number of distressed syllables rooming with various meters. An even closer look shows that the way I write is a lot like the way Harry performs on a walk. He goes where it smells good. The deadline for your haiku, sent to email address at the end of this column, is Feb. 14. Traditional haiku lines are not separated by periods, but please do so for this contest. Again: Please write your own, in fiveseven-five, one per author, and know that ribaldry will not be acceptable. Except most privately. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@ comcast.net. social mores dictated a completely different interpretation of that dialogue. Still, the #MeToo warriors must have their say. Personally, I’m a lot more offended by the money-grubbing dependency of the lady who sings “Santa Baby” and the treacly vacuousness of “A Wonderful Christmas Time,” but, you know, whatever… As I wait anxiously for the controversy to explode over “Auld Lang Syne” and how it is insensitive to Alzheimer’s patients (“should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind”), I will do my best to resolve to tamp down my outrage reflex in 2019. Not sure I can control my mock reflex, but we’ll do our best. “Michael Alcorn is a teacher and writer who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children.

formed around tiny bits of dirt carried up into the atmosphere by the wind. They are really soil particles dressed up in ice. You may want to draw pictures of this together while talking. Scientists think there are four different shapes of snow crystals. Many have a hexagon shape. The shape depends upon the temperature at which it was formed. As the snow crystals grow they become heavier and fall to Earth. Each snowflake is composed of about two to 200 separate crystals clumped together. Thirteen inches of snow equals about one inch of rain, although this ratio can vary from two inches for sleet to fifty inches for very dry, powdery mountain snow. When the cups of snow and ice are melted, observe dirt in the snow cup

and talk about it. Children will come up with reasons why eating snow is not a good idea. The dust can come from long distances and be from unappetizing things like animal waste. Check on those cups. Do all of them now have the same amount of water? Why do the children suppose they are different? Ice and snow have air spaces between them. Notice what happens as the snow melts and packs. Snow books include: “The Story of Snow” by Roy Cassino, “Snow” by Roy Uri Shulevitz, and “Snow” by Roy McKie. Esther Macalady is a retired schoolteacher in Golden.

Food and market halls in metro area

Low cost for eatery owners, range of offerings for customers among attractions BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ark Shaker sees a combination of factors as to why food halls — modern, cafeteria-style markets — have a firm grasp on the Denver metro area’s food scene. “One, I think (food halls) create natural community gathering spots. If a group of four or six people want to go out… the variety of offerings makes food halls a spot to go to,” said Shaker, a founder of Stanley Marketplace, a market hall in Aurora that opened toward the end of 2016. Along with businesses such as clothing stores, hair salons and fitness amenities, the Stanley Marketplace houses a variety of locally owned food and beverage options inside what used to be a manufacturing building. “Instead of going to a particular restaurant, you can go to eight of them at once,” Shaker continued. “On the other side, there’s the cost. If you talk to chefs around town, there aren’t

The Source is home to restaurants Comida Cantina and Acorn, the Proper Pour liquor store, the RiNo Yacht Club cocktail bar, the Crooked Stave brewery taproom,

the food store Mondo Market and other businesses. Sitting next door to the Source is the Source Hotel & Marketplace.

here is no manual for veterans when it comes to re-entering civilian society after spending time in the service. There are all manner of challenges to face and lessons to learn, and it is COMING easy to imagine ATTRACTIONS feeling disoriented when faced with such overwhelming changes. Some veterans deal with these stresses by creating art that expresses their experiences in a healing way. Clarke Reader And in January, Colorado Humanities, Colorado Photographic Arts Center, the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation, Colorado Creative Industries, Hemera Foundation and RedLine Contemporary Art Center are presenting events to share the works of these artists. “Colorado Humanities believes that amplifying voices of those who have experienced conflict as military veterans and engaging them in conversations with nonmilitary community members is one way we can help veterans who struggle to integrate in their home communities when they return from deployment,” explained Bess Maher, Veterans Writing Program coordinator with Colorado Humanities. “I’m hopeful this program will amplify the voices of veterans and military service members who are also writers and artists, inspire other veteran writers and artists, and bring attention to veterans’ issues.” The first event is a reading at 6 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 11, at BookBar, 4280 Tennyson St. in Denver, by contributors to the anthology, “Still Coming Home: Denver Veterans Writing.” The second event is a series of three discussions called “Personal Visions: Discussions with Veteran Writers and Artists.” The discussions will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 16, 23 and 30 at the Colorado Photographic Arts Center, 1070 Bannock St. in Denver. Each event will feature different participants, so audiences can attend as many as they would like. “These events are a great first step for civilians who want to learn more about what it means to be a veteran,” Maher said. “And anyone interested in the creative process will find something interesting in these discussions.” SEE READER, P15

Friday and Saturday. The scoop: Back in the day, Denver Central Market’s building was home to H.H. Tammen’s Curio Co., a company that created souvenir mineralogical curiosities. The market’s Curio bar pays homage to the building, and it serves craft cocktails, wine and beer. Denver Central Market also offers the Local Butcher, a full-service butcher shop; Temper Chocolates, a chocolate shop; Tammens, a fish market; the ice cream shop High Point Creamery; Green Seed, a produce shop; the Izzio bakery, which serves breakfast, weekend brunch and lunch; and other food establishments, such as SK Provisons and Vero Italian.

“It’s more just responding to the culture here and having a variety of options. People just want something that is more casual and fun without having to spend a bunch of money,” said Kyle Zeppelin. co-president of Zeppelin Development. Zeppelin Development has its fingerprints on the Denver metro area’s food and market hall scene and is the developer of the Source and Zeppelin Station, a food hall with eight food vendors and two cocktail bars. Zeppelin said the market for food and market halls in suburban communities has a similar demand to the urban area where the Source is located. However, he said, a lot of it depends don population density. “There is a need, even in some of those outlying areas. The same builtup demand exists,” Zeppelin said. Julie Rodriguez, the marketing coordinator for the Denver Milk Market, a marketplace with 12 eateries and three bars, said a marketplace similar to the Denver Milk Market would need to be located close to shopping and walkable destinations. Golden is currently in the midst of having Tributary and Golden Mill, two food halls, constructed.

Arvada couple celebrates 70 years of marriage Carl and Johnsie Nielson married on Thanksgiving Day 1948 BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Carl and Johnsie Nielson say the key to a long marriage is sharing. They should know: The Arvada couple celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary Nov. 25. Carl, 92, and Johnsie, 90, married on Thanksgiving Day 1948 in Gooding, Idaho. They met earlier that year, when Carl — returning from serving in World War II with the U.S. Navy — walked into the employment office, where Johnsie was working at the time. They grew up in the small farming town and knew of each other but, until that day, hadn’t met. “It was a small town so you know a little bit of everybody,” Johnsie explained. “So, I knew his family, but I didn’t know him.” Carl was studying pre-med at Brigham Young University in Utah when the war started and he joined his brothers serving in the Pacific Theater. Following the war, Carl attended Utah State University, where he earned a degree in engineering. In 1952, the couple moved with their two sons to San Francisco, where Carl worked in the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard. A few years later, Carl’s engineering work took them to the U.S.

Carl and Johnsie Nielson recently celebrated 70 years of marriage. Navy submarine base in New London, Connecticut, where their third son was born. In 1958, during the Cold War, Carl was given an additional duty for seven months by serving as a gun-fire control inspector for destroyers with the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean. Shortly after returning stateside, he was asked to go on the USS Seawolf — the world’s second nuclear-powered submarine. He was the only civilian

on the top-secret patrol, which spent 60 days underwater gathering intelligence. “He has been away an awful lot and I’ve been mother, father, grandma — but we managed,” Johnsie said. She worked as a secretary until the 1950s when she became a full-time mother. “I devoted myself to my kids and volunteer jobs,” Johnsie said. “It was a pleasure taking care of them.” After leaving military assignments in 1961, the family moved to Granville, Ohio, where Carl worked for Bell Labs and helped with significant innovations in telephone systems designs, including speed dialing, call forwarding, three-way calling and busy-line call-back. In 1969, the Nielsons moved to Boulder, where Carl continued to work in telephone systems and Johnsie continued a wide variety of volunteer work. In 1977, the shah of Iran asked for help from AT&T to design a new phone system for his country. Carl and Johnsie moved to Tehran to live, to assist in the new design and to learn from another culture. They were there

for 14 months until Ayatollah Khomeini started the revolution in the summer of 1978. “The situation went from bad to worse with mobs, fire burning in the streets and gunfire,” Carl recalled. That’s when they returned to Colorado, where they have lived now for 40 years. Arvada has been their home since 2000. Just after Christmas, they moved from their home on Queen Circle to G Brookdale Meridian Arvada senior t living facility. “We made it,” Johnsie said of their t 70th wedding anniversary. “It was b quite a number of years and all the C things we went through. It wasn’t easy,C but life isn’t easy. We’ve enjoyed it.” n Besides their three sons, the two have seven grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. In July last year, they all got together for a family reunion to celebrate their anniversary and both Carl and Johnsie reaching 90 years old. For him, Carl said, the milestone anniversary is a symbol of toughness, forgiveness and love.

musicians and poets/storytellers who will be traveling from across the country to perform at this year’s Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering. The 30th annual Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering takes place Jan. 18-20 at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden, with a Meet & Greet Reception and Sampler Showcase on Jan. 17. There are a lot of gatherings that take place around the country, but Golden’s is one of the best, said Yvonne Hollenbeck of South Dakota who has been performing for 30 years. Performances at the Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering are “a unique type of entertainment you can’t find at most places,” Hollenbeck said. And “there’s a wonderful slate of entertainers this year.” Hollenbeck will perform some of her original work about her life as a rancher’s wife, but a highlight of this year’s gathering is Hollenbeck’s quilt show. She will be bringing about 40 quilts to Golden — five generations

of family quilts spanning 150 years, all made by her and her husband’s family on the plains of Colorado and Nebraska. With her oldest one dating back to 1875 and the newest one made within the past year, there’s a lot of history with each quilt, but it’s “very entertaining,” Hollenbeck said. Through the quilts, one can see changes of the times and the economy, she added. “Many of them were made when times were hard,” Hollenbeck said. “Those women (who made the quilts) had so little, but they were very artistic and creative with what they had.” The music, poetry and stories that one will experience at the gathering has roots in the West, rural living, ranch life and the olden days, said Kristyn Harris, a musician known for her yodeling who will be travelling from her Texas town to perform at this year’s Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering. “I love sharing the music with other people,” she said, adding it’s a truly unique experience. “The audience could be falling out of their chairs laughing, and then brought to tears, all within the same hour.” Harris will be performing some original songs and

some classics, she said. And the audience can expect some new songs this year, Harris added, as she was unable to attend last year’s gathering in Colorado because she was competing on American Idol. Because he is local, Chandler is a staple of the Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering, having performed at the annual event at least 15 years. Chandler also performs a monthly concert series called America’s Soul Live at the Olde Town Pickin’ Parlor in Arvada. At this year’s gathering, the crowd can expect his performances to consist of original songs inspired by the Colorado lifestyle. For his Sunday matinee performance, Chandler will be joined by his sidekick Ernie Martinez of Lakewood, who Chandler referred to as “one of the best pickers around.” Chandler noted that Martinez was named 2018’s Instrumentalist of the Year by the International Western Music Association. “Golden is a beautiful town and it’s really attractive to the artists,” Chandler said. “I’m proud to represent my state alongside this group of fantastic artists who come from across the country.”

Therapy business brings balance park to Arvada Outdoor terrain park provides real-world practice BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Pam Bohling, orthopedic clinical specialist at Mountain States Hand and Physical Therapy, believes that from bad things sometimes good things come. With the threat of rent at the Arvada clinic increasing by $1,200 a month, Bohling — along with business partners Megan Brunell and Sheila Morton — decided to purchase a building and move their practice across the street to 8020 Lee Drive in Arvada. By moving, the clinic — which specializes in hand, physical, occupational, speech and vestibular therapy — expanded by 2,000 square feet. “It was kind of a huge blessing,” said Bohling. “When you have an intent to do something good, then good things can come out of it.” A unique addition to the practice at the new space will be an outdoor terrain park where patients can practice balance in real-world environments. It will have a dry creek to practice hiking over rocks, a bridge that goes up and down to practice incline and decline, a gravel pit and a sand pit.

Pam Bohling, orthopedic clinical specialist at Mountain States Hand and Physical Therapy, said the practices’ move was a good thing for its patients. SHANNA FORTIER “We don’t want it to feel medical, we want it to feel nice and warm,” Bohling said, adding that the outdoor terrain park will be the first in the area. “The city of Arvada has done a great job of parks and outdoor space, which has attracted a more active population, but we also have an aging

population — so the balance park is good for both,” Bohling said. “We will be bringing that to Arvada and that will be unique to the Denver metro area.” It is expected to be completed by the end of summer. One patient who is looking forward to the terrain park is Connie Morgan,

63, of Arvada. Morgan works balance regularly at Mountain States. “It’s OK to learn to stand on one leg or walk heel-to-toe, but that’s not a real-world experience,” Morgan said. “Having what I call a real-word experience with the balance park would be absolutely phenomenal for me. It will help my balance and me walk, no matter what I’m doing or where I am.” Mountain States Hand and Physical Therapy was started in 2006 by Brunell and Morton, both hand and occupational therapists. Bohling came on board in 2008 to bring the orthopedic physical therapy component. The team later added neuro specialists to treat balance and vestibular issues. They also added speech therapists to the roster for a broader treatment approach. In addition to the Arvada clinic, Mountain States has clinics in Wheat Ridge and Louisville. The new Arvada clinic also has 1,500 square feet next door, which will be rented to other healthcare professionals including a podiatrist and massage therapist. Rocky Mountain Foot and Ankle is one of the practices in that space. “It’s always been on our radar to move into the north Denver suburbs,” said Dr. Brett Sachs, whose practice has clinics in Wheat Ridge, Evergreen and Granby. “Arvada was the next logical step given the growth Arvada has had in recent years.”

No. 9 Ralston Valley relies on defense BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — An injury caused the air to come out of Ralston Valley High School’s gym early on in the first quarter Saturday, Jan. 5. In a non-league girls basketball game between Ralston Valley — No. 9 in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A rankings — and Columbine the headliner was the return of University of Colorado women’s basketball commit Maura Singer. Columbine’s 6-foot-4 senior signed in November to play hoops at CU after finishing up her career at Columbine. Singer suffered a torn ACL in her left knee last summer. Saturday was her first action this season for the Rebels after surgery. Unfortunately, her comeback lasted 32 seconds. Ralston Valley sophomore Sydney Bevington pulled up for a deep jumper on the Mustangs’ first offensive possession and Singer came out to challenge the shot. Singer collided with Bevington with both ending up on the floor. Singer was immediately in pain and grabbed her right knee. “There was a big pop. I think she just landed on my foot. It’s sad,” Bevington said after leading the Mustangs to a 45-35 victory. “She (Singer) is a really good player. I felt really bad.” Singer didn’t return to the game and iced her knee on the Rebels’ bench. “I felt bad. That was the worst thing you could see happen,” Ralston Valley coach Jeff Gomer said of Singer getting hurt in her first game back. “You don’t want that to happen to any kid and she has been through a lot.” Columbine coach Greg Bolding Jr. said after the game that Singer’s right knee would be evaluated to see what the extent of the damage. “Maura has been one of my kids for years,” said Bolding, who has coached Singer at the club level too. “She worked her butt off to get to this point. It just wasn’t meant to be right now. It was disappointing, but it is what it is.” Bolding was pleased how his team responded after losing Singer. The Rebels (3-5 record) went toe-to-toe with the Mustangs (7-4) before Ralston Valley was able to outscore Columbine 19-11 in the fourth quarter to take the 10-point victory. It was a defensive game with Ralston Valley making just 11 field goals. Columbine was held to 10 field goal on the night. “We’ve had to rely on defense all year,” Gomer said. “Until we come around offensively we are going to have to do that.” Ralston Valley was 1-for-15 from 3-point range. The Mustangs scored SEE BASKETBALL, P23

s soon as coach Kevin Boley walked into Sagewood Middle School and saw a skinny, curlyhaired kid, he knew he had found a player. Boley was holding open tryouts for the first Legend High School basketball team some 10 years ago when he first saw Derrick White. White, now a 6-foot-4 second-year professional with the San Antonio Spurs of OVERTIME the National Basketball Association, was part of Legend’s first graduating class in 2012 and was a leader of the infant Titans basketball for four seasons. He had a good basketball IQ, good Jim Benton skills and was sneaky quick. His biggest problem was his physical size didn’t measure up to his special athletic ability. He grew to 6 feet tall by his senior year at Legend, when he was an All Continental League performer on a league all-star team that produced major college recruits in Josh Perkins, Josh Adams and Cory Calvert. Still, college recruiters would just mumble that 6-foot guards are a dime a dozen. White was overlooked and wasn’t recruited but he continued to work hard and grow taller. His father, Richard, came up with a “Dare to Be Great” slogan, which White still employs as he still plays with that chip on his shoulder to prove his worth. “That has driven him in a very positive way,” said Boley. “He worked on his fundamentals, his ball handling and everything,” said his dad. “He was always small. When he was a junior the doctor said his growth plate was still open so he was eventually going to grow. We sent out stuff to area schools to see if he could get a look. We knew he had the ability. It was just getting him the opportunity. “When you looked at him, nobody would have thought he would grow to somewhere between 6-4 and 6-5. I would say you have to stay the course, keep working and when you get the chance to do something, you have to make the most of it.” White got an opportunity when Gillette College in Sheridan, Wyoming offered White a scholarship, but Johnson and Wales coach Jeff Culver also showed some interest before Culver accepted the head coaching position at University of Colorado-Colorado SEE BENTON, P23

Springs. White followed Culver to UCCS with only a housing stipend and planned to redshirt, but he was put him into the lineup and became a Division II All-American and the school’s all-time scoring leader in three seasons with 1,912 points. “It was right path for him to take,” admitted Richard White. “He was really small and still growing, and the opportunity he had at UCCS was very good. He got more opportunities than if he had gone to another school that was more established or if he had gone to a DI school. “He just would have probably sat on the bench or been a practice player. He learned a lot at UCCS, got a lot of experience and after that just kept working and got better and better.” He transferred to Colorado, sat out a season, and then became an All-Pacific 12 performer. He was selected by the Spurs in the 29th round of the 2017 draft. “I always thought he had a chance to get paid to play,” said Boley. “I knew he had that kind of talent. He was a special player. In the month leading up to the NBA draft I got phone calls from eight or so people

around the league. “They were interviewing me. They were asking questions about his character, work ethic, how he handles adversity and would he do anything that would embarrass the organization and those kinds of things. Derrick is a wonderful human being and the community has loved him.” College coaches still ask Boley if he might have another Derrick White. The determined White, who played with both the development league G League Austin Spurs and San Antonio his rookie campaign, overcame an injured heel this season and has become a Spurs’ starter. In the past 10 games, he is averaging 26.1 minutes, 9.1 points, 3.6 assists and 3.3 rebounds a game. On Dec. 28, in a Spurs loss to the Nuggets at the Pepsi Center, he scored 10 points with six rebounds, three assists and six steals in front of his family, Boley, Culver and Legend players. “It was pretty surreal to see that,” said his proud dad.

nearly half of their points from the free-throw line going 22-for-31 from the charity stripe. “I think we are going to get more chemistry,” said Bevington, who scored a game-high 15 points of 11 came via the free throw. “After losing our seniors from last year we are trying to work out somethings out on the court. We are just going to keep getting better.” The young Ralston Valley team faced another 5A Jeffco foe in Dakota Ridge Jan. 8, after press deadline, in

what will be counted as a non-league game. “It’s going to be an interesting league,” Gomer said about conference play that won’t start up until mid-January for most 5A Jeffco teams. Freshman Jessica Bollwahn led the Rebels with 11 points in the loss. “I think (5A Jeffco) is down a little bit when it comes to scoring,” Bolding said. “It’s going to be a defensive battle. Whoever executes the most on the offensive side is what it’s going to come down to.” Dennis Pleuss is a communications specialist for Jeffco Public Schools with a focus on athletics and activities.

FIRE FROM PAGE 6

West Metro Fire in 1996 to provide health benefits to active employees and qualified retirees until they turned 65 and could apply for Medicare. Part of that health trust included the Retiree Health Account, an account created to hold funds for retiree health benefits and their beneficiaries. Both current and retired employees contributed to the health trust before the fire district and the trustees of the trust agreed to start closing it down in March 2015. It was officially closed on Dec. 31, 2017. Ronda Scholting, a spokesperson for West Metro Fire, said the health trust was closed because it was projected to fall behind by $15 million in funding. If the health trust continued, West Metro Fire says it would’ve left the district with “little, or no operating budget.”

INFLUENZA FROM PAGE 6

Symptoms of the flu include high fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches and fatigue. Some people may have nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, but this is more common in children than adults. Tri-County Health provides no-cost or low-cost flu vaccinations for those

The fire district agreed to provide retired firefighters with health-care benefits between 2015 and the end of 2017 as it was being terminated. The Executive Committee of IAFF Local 1309 was responsible for managing the health trust during the shutdown period. About $1.7 million remained in the health trust as of Dec. 31, 2015, according to court documents. The joint resolution to end the health trust read “any assets remaining in the health trust fund, after satisfaction of all liabilities, shall not revert to either the employees, or the employer, but shall instead be transferred to such other entity, or entities that will utilize them for similar purposes as the health trust.” The initial plaintiffs, O’Hayre, a former firefighter for West Metro Fire, and Brienza, the wife of another West Metro firefighter, want an accounting and restitution for all money that was in the health trust as of March 10, 2015 and any money that was added later.

To find flu vaccines at retail outlets, visit www. vaccinefinder.org or speak with your health care provider. In addition to getting the vaccine, health experts recommend washing your hands often, covering your sneeze and cough, and staying home if you are sick.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you’re getting kudos and other positive reactions to your suggestions, don’t let the cheers drown out some valid criticisms. Better to deal with them now than later. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Following your keen Bovine intuition pays off, as you not only reassess the suggestions some people are putting in front of you, but also their agendas for doing so. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You continue on a high-enthusiasm cycle as that new project you’ve assumed takes shape. You’re also buoyed by the anticipation of receiving some good news about a personal matter. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your eagerness to immerse yourself in your new assignment is understandable. But be careful that you don’t forget to take care of that pressing personal situation as well. LEO (July 23 to August 22) This is a good time to learn a new skill that could give a clever Cat an edge in the upcoming competition for workplace opportunities. Enjoy the arts this weekend with someone special. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You could risk creating an impasse if you insist on expecting more from others than they’re prepared to give. Showing flexibility in what you’ll accept could prevent a stalemate.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Although you can weigh all factors of a dispute to find an agreeable solution for others, you might need the skilled input of someone you trust to help you deal with an ongoing situation of your own. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The good news is that your brief period of self-doubt turns into a positive “I can do anything” attitude. The better news is that you’ll soon be able to prove it. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good time for Sagittarians to start making travel plans while you still can select from a wide menu of choices and deals, and not be forced to settle for leftovers. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Like your zodiacal sign, the sure-footed Goat, you won’t allow obstacles in your path to keep you from reaching your goal. Don’t be surprised by who asks to go along with you. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Let your head dominate your heart as you consider the risks that might be involved in agreeing to be a friend’s co-signer or otherwise act as his or her backup in a financial matter. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Prioritize: Resolve to close the door and let your voicemail take your phone calls while you finish up a task before the end-of-week deadline. Then go out and enjoy a fun-filled weekend. BORN THIS WEEK: Your capacity for care and compassion helps to bring comfort to others. © 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.
