APEX election in motion Three seats open up on the APEX board of directors By Crystal Anderson
canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com Giving back and innovative ideas are key points for candidates in the 2014 APEX Park and Recreation Board of Directors election. “I want to give back, represent the citizens of Arvada and present fresh new ideas to the table,” Ken Haack, a first-time candidate for the board said. This year, three seats of the five-member board are up for election, and five individuals; Haack, Jim Whitfield, Tommy Skul, Ken Harrell, and Kristen Larington have announced their candidacies for the available seats. According to Luann Levine, APEX’s designated election official, while important, the elec-
tions have historically had low voter-turnout. “The board is very involved and listens to the community, and they make the district what the residents want it to be,” Levine said. “It’s important to their (APEX district residents) future and the community, but we usually get a small turnout.” The elections are held every two years and will fill three, fouryear term places on the board. They will be held May 6, and are open to all Colorado-registered voters who reside or own property within the district. For current board member Jim Whitfield, these elections represent an extension of his work, specifically renewing cost sharing agreements, helped the board become financially stable, among other works over the past eight years. “I would like to complete achievements like these over my third and last term,” Whitfield said. “If I can earn enough votes and be re-elected I hope to work collaboratively with other stake-
holders to the benefit of our community.” The board makes decisions regarding new projects such as the East Side Arvada recreation center and the newly-opened Pickleball courts, and provides upkeep, maintenance, and repair of facilities such as the Community Rec Center. “I see this as one, a way to give back to the community, and two a way to create an environment where my young kids, myself and my aging parents can use those facilities to stay healthy,” Skul said. For more information on the elections or to reach out to the candidates, visit www.apexprd. org/board-directors-election-6. To vote in the May 6 elections, stop by The Apex Center, 13150 W. 72 Ave., or the Community Recreation Center, 6842 Wadsworth Blvd. to cast a ballot. Residents can also request an absentee ballot via: www.apexprd.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/AbsenteeBallot-Application.pdf.

green United Methodist Church installs rooftop solar panels

Three hundred and fifty-one solar panels line the roof of Arvada’s United Methodist Church (AUMC), making a difference in the environment and the community. “I think we looked at it (solar paneling) as pie in the sky, the cost was overwhelming,” Melinda Reed, a member of AUMC’s Green Team said. “But then Wynne (AUMC member) connected us with these guys who talked to us (about solar paneling).” During a weekend retreat three years ago, members of United Methodist Church, 6750 Carr St., decided to make some ecological changes after hearing a lecture by Rebekah Simon-Peter, a Methodist pastor with a degree in environmental studies. Since that time the group formed a “green team” and has put forth practices that have changed the way the chruch views the environment reducing their environmental footprint. “We talked about being more green, not only in our church but in our homes, that’s when we started the Green Team,” Pastor Rusty Butler said. The project, which is valued at $400,000, is being installed by Renewable Energy Ventures, a Texas energy efficiency company, and will help the church save on their $2,100 monthly energy bill. Under a power-purchase agreement, the church is currently paying a reduced costs on energy bills, and using the difference to pay
rent on the solar panel system. “We’re open 365 days a year, and we’re always using energy,” Butler said. “We felt this was a good move to be more energyconscious.” The panels are weather resilient and have a 50-year lifespan. Throughout their life, the panels will supply 130,000 kilowatt hours per year, which is the equivalent to providing energy to 144 homes for a month. “We’ve done so much more than we could with the help of this entrepreneur,” Bob O’Connell, a member of the Green Team on the solar paneling said. Since their retreat, the Green Team has initiated a recycling program, decreasing the amount of weekly trash by 30 percent; switched out florescent light bulbs with low-energy electric bulbs; installed LED lighting; set up solar tubes to let more light in and several other environmentally-friendly projects to help reduce their impact on local landfills and the environment. “If we could set an example for the community, that we’re not just serving ourselves, but we’re serving the community, and taking care of God’s creation,” O’Connell said.

JEFFCO COMMISSIONERS NEWS IN A HURRY Adoption of Emergency Fire Fund Agreement
County commissioners will be adopting the Emergency Fire Fund with the Colorado Division of Fire and Prevention Control, a fund that was established approximately 30 years ago. A base fund in the amount of $1 million is received from participating counties like Jeffco. The agreement which was signed two years ago, will last for five years. The reason behind the review of the Emergency Fire Fund was due to a change in oversight from the Colorado State Forest Service to the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control. Commissioner Rosier commented on his support for the fund and reported that every year funds are used to help fight wildfires.

Party divisions apparent in budget fight Democrats focus on education, but not enough says GOP By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Democrat-majority state House passed a $23 billion budget on March 28 that will increase funding for education, aid flood and wildfire victims, and will bolster reserves by stashing away millions in “rainy day” dollars. But only one Republican voted for the annual “long bill” as GOP members blasted Democrats for not funding specific measures that are of importance to the minority party, including money for increased drunken driving penalties and what they are saying is not enough money for K-12 education. The passage of the 2014-2015 fiscal year budget came on the heels of several hours of debate that spanned two days as lawmakers wrangled over a long bill that comes with more dollars than last year’s, thanks in part to a state economy that continues to gain steam. “We are in a better place, we can make investments, we can start putting back the pieces that were harmed in the great recession,” said House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver.
The bill includes a general fund budget — made up of tax revenue that supports the operations of most state departments — of $8.7 billion, a $600 million increase over the current year’s budget. About half of the general fund dollars support K-12 and higher education, both of which will receive significant increases in the new budget. Through the annual school finance act and the Student Success Act — school funding measures that are making their way through the Legislature — the budget will pump about $200 million in additional K-12 education funding that increase perpupil funding by $200 per student. That money will also be used to enroll more kids in preschool and full-day kindergarten, as well as to fund English language learning programs. Higher education will receive an additional $100 million in funding, the majority of which will go toward student financial aid. “We are making a huge investment in our K-12 system,” Ferrandino said. “This is a responsible budget that sets us up for success in the future.” The budget also includes an additional $78 million in disaster relief funds. Money will be available to provide tax relief for homeowners who were impacted by last year’s floods and wildfires, something that
was a top priority for the Legislature coming into this year’s session. In addition, the long bill includes 2.5 percent pay increases for state employees and Medicaid providers. Gov. John Hickenlooper will see a few things in the budget that he will surely use in his re-election campaign literature. That includes money that will update outdated computer technology at the Department of Motor Vehicles, which aims to significantly reduce wait times at DMV offices. And the state’s emergency reserves will
increase from 5 percent under this year to 6.5 percent, under the new budget. That was a key piece to Hickenlooper’s budget request to the Joint Budget Committee, prior to the start of the legislative session. The budget also includes about $50 million that will be set aside for bills that are currently going through legislative process.

Parties clash over funding areas
Lawmakers tend to fight more when there is an abundance of money, rath-
er than during lean budget years. And that was the case in House on March 27 and 28, when more than 40 budget amendments were introduced by lawmakers who were seeking funding for various priorities. They included failed efforts by Republicans to set aside $1.7 million to pay for initial funding of a bill that would create a felony DUI in
Colorado for repeat cases of drunken driving. That effort is being sponsored by Rep. Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, who is also running for attorney general. “Democrats stated they had set aside money for priorities, yet I cannot think of a bigger priority than protecting Colorado families from habitual drunk drivers,” Waller said through a
statement issued after the first night of House debate. Republicans also blasted Democrats for not support GOP measures to increase funding for road construction and backfilling K-12 education budget cuts that has created the so-called “negative factor.” The budget includes $100 million that will be used to buy down the nega-
tive factor, but Republicans wanted that buy-down to be increased by as much as $35 million more than what’s being proposed. House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, took issue with Democrats’ rejections of GOP proposals. “It’s tough for me to stand here and say this was a broad, bipartisan budget,”
DelGrosso said. “We could have done so much more with the resources we have and we could have done it in a fiscally responsible way.” DelGrosso joined 26 other Republicans to vote against the budget. The only Republican to vote yes was Rep. Cheri Gerou of Evergreen, who is a member of the Joint Budget Committee.

arvada city council on the record Arvada City Council discussed the following city departments during a workshop, March 24. Council members in attendance were Mayor Marc Williams, Mayor Pro Tem Mark McGoff, District 1 Councilman Jerry Marks, District 3 Councilman John Marriott, District 4 Councilman Bob Dyer, and Councilmen-At-Large Don Allard and Bob Fifer.
Focus update
Council heard an update from three city departments, the City Attorney’s office, the Human Resources department and the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, as part of the Focus Arvada program. In the Focus Arvada program, each city department has taken a deeper look into their organization, structure, strategic issues, lines of business, strategic issues and changes they hope to make as an effort to achieve a customer-focused, data-driven, results-oriented organization. These three departments looked at
improving technology skills, developing vibrant and multi-functional departments, ensure support for all city departments, promote and provide quality health care options, implement more diverse programming, develop a consistent and solid department brand, and become financially responsible and well managed. The council will continue to hear updates from city departments over the upcoming months. Some of these goals and programs are already being implemented, and others will begin in the 2015-2016 budget cycle according to staff. All city departments have begun using this system and will implement their new results-oriented programs over the next six years. To learn more about the Focus Arvada program, visit www.arvada.org/government/focus. The next City Council meeting will be at 6 p.m., Monday, April 7, in the Council Chambers at the Arvada City Hall, 8101 Ralston Road. — Compiled by Crystal Anderson

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
A day without a prank is just a day Happy April Fool’s Day! I hope you enjoyed a prank-filled April 1. I mean that sincerely … a day without a good prank is just, well, a day. I come by my practical-joke predilection honestly — I’m from a long line of pranksters. In fact, in our family, April Fool’s Day is somewhat superfluous; it’s almost too obvious. For example, if you spend more than three seconds looking for something — the ketchup, a can of soda, your left shoe — then you have fallen prey to our most common practical joke. If, on the other hand, you are the one caught in the act of moving, which usually has to take place in a split second while your victim’s back is turned, returning the item is usually accompanied with a sheepish grin. My father was a consummate prankster, while my mother was more likely to leave funny notes in my lunch box when I was attending graduate school
on the weekends. But my dad, ah … my dad. In the days when Colorado had just one area code, all we needed to dial were the last number of our prefix and four other digits to place a call. So if someone should ask for the number of, say, the A&W, my dad would rapid fire five random digits, and people fell for it all the time, me included. One of my own minor pranks is to remove the barrels of ink from my colleagues’ pens (and then put them some-
where on the table or the desk). I also take advantage of telephones from the workplace. When one of my colleagues in Colorado Springs agreed to leave a voice mail for my sister; the message went something like this: “Ma’am, I’ve got a pile of your parking tickets here in front of me. There are 543,000 residents in El Paso County and you have amassed more than anyone else. Please clear this up by calling my assistant, Andrea Doe-ree-ay, you know like the sinking ship…” At that point, you can hear me cackling in the background. Of course, this was only fair, because my sister is the queen of pranks, such as moving the car when one of her kids left it running outside the house while retrieving something from inside. Or leaping out of the back seat in her “scariest mask,” leaving one little boy shrieking as only little boys can, and leaving another frozen, open-mouthed.
But her best prank is now legend in our family. When my nephew came home from Sea Camp, a marine science program in San Diego, he was excited to show a crowd of us the DVD from his underwater experiences. Have you ever tried to purposely break a disk? It’s harder than you might think, and my sister was out on her porch—with a different disk— trying to shatter it and get it into the case in my nephew’s backpack just in time. The look on his face was priceless. We may be pranksters, but we’re never mean or cruel and we never, ever do any damage. But we do create laughter, a lot of laughter, the kind of laughter that leaves tears streaming down our faces. The kind of tears that I am enjoying right now. Andrea Doray is a writer who would love to hear about your favorite practical joke. Contact her at a.doray@andreadoray.com.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
What are your predictions for this year’s Rockies Season? When spring arrives, that means it’s also the season of baseball. We asked people in Westminster their thoughts on this year’s Rockies season.
I think the Rockies have a shot this season. But their pitching is important. Lorenzo Salatiel
All I know is that Tulowitzki is hurt, so our infield won’t be as good again. A.J. Bautista
If they can get some good pitchers, they should do alright. Jesus Pastrana
I think the Rockies will do pretty good. If the pitching is right, they could make the playoffs. Junior Valdez

I’m starting with me My 7-year old son is very into a game called Minecraft right now. For those of you who haven’t had the great fortune (yes, read that as sarcasm) of running into this game yet, it is, essentially, a cubist Eden in which the player gets to create his world. For instance, the other day my son and my 12-year old spent a couple hours putting a swimming pool with a water slide outside their characters’ home. But, every once in a while, my son comes out of the game long enough to register a complaint. “Dad, it’s not letting me cut down the tree.” “Dad, I can’t get my rollercoaster to work.” “Dad, my sister hit me.” (Yeah, sometimes the real world intrudes). Let me make it very clear up front that I know almost nothing about how the game works. I watch him play, I’m amazed at how quickly he buzzes around the controls, I’m awed by what comes out of his imagination, but I do not have the faintest idea how the game works. So, when he comes to me whining (no, it’s true: 7-year-old boys occasionally whine) about the game, there is almost nothing I can do about it. Except shut it off. He hates that one. It’s my favorite. Shortly after I propose that as the solution, he usually finds a different way to solve his problem, and onward the game goes. For another 20 minutes. Until I force him to go run 5k and then study his German and read one of Shakespeare’s sonnets. Because I’m that kind of parent. Not at all the kind who is, every once in a while, grateful for 20 minutes to breathe while he plays a video game. Yeah, that was sarcasm, too. My son’s problem, when he runs into a roadblock, is usually that he focuses on the problem, instead of focusing on finding a solution. It’s like what I quoted a couple weeks ago, “If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.” His willingness to retreat into whining makes him part of the problem. Like I said, though, my son is 7 years old. I sort of expect problem focus from him. I can preach to him all day long about
being the solution, but he’s not quite ready for that message yet. He just has to learn on his own and make the connection between his experience and my nagging someday. But, then I got to thinking, “how often do I just whine about a problem, instead of working to solve it?” Sad to say, altogether too frequently. And, more often than not, I do it on Facebook. Facebook and Twitter and their ilk have become this society’s complaint department — have a beef? Tweet it! Solutions are harder than complaints — they require thought, and planning, and energy and commitment. Not at all the sort of instant gratification we’ve become accustomed to seeking in latter-day America. But we have serious problems facing us, and I think it’s high time we stop giving people credit for being the most clever complainer, and start looking for problemsolvers. And I’m going to start with me. You’ve indulged me for three years now as I share my observations and, yes, some complaints about our world. And I appreciate that, truly. Now, I am going to force myself to try to turn that corner and never leave a complaint without a solution idea. Because if I’m not part of the solution, then I might as well just sit down on the floor and play video games with my son all day.

Today’s snow is tomorrow’s water Nothing beats a week of gray skies and stuffy suits in Washington like a sunny day in Colorado’s high country. A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to strap on some snowshoes for a short hike on Berthoud Pass with local water managers and staff from the Natural Resources Conservation Service. They were taking a manual reading of the state’s snowpack and checking the automatic SNOTEL measurement device. Undersecretary Robert Bonnie, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s top environmental and natural resource official, and the man who oversees NRCS, also came along. These snowpack measurement systems, some that date back to the 1900s, are a critical part of the Snow Survey and Water Supply Forecasting program that Colorado water officials rely on to anticipate river flows in the spring when the snow melts and calculate how much water will run off into rivers and reservoirs. Our state’s farmers and ranchers depend on
these forecasts to decide how much and what type of crops to plant, while metropolitan leaders use the data to decide how best to meet their needs in the coming years and to prepare for potential flooding. Beyond Colorado, these measurements are important for states downstream that depend on our watersheds. Colorado contains nine major watersheds, each with its own snowfall patterns and obligations to other states. While some of these water sources may be at 100 percent, in other
regions the levels may be less than half of the normal supply. Many of the state’s water rights agreements are predicated on the level of snowpack making the accuracy of these measurements particularly important. Recently, however, funding for the Snow Survey and Water Supply Forecasting Program was threatened by budget cuts and sequestration. Colorado communities from across the state shared their strong concerns that cutting funding to this program would damage the accuracy of the measurements and reduce the effectiveness of this vital planning tool. In response to these concerns, we joined forces with Colorado’s water community, Sen. Mark Udall, and Congressman Scott Tipton to urge the NRCS to reconsider the cuts. After working with local communities, water managers, and the NRCS, we secured funding for the program for this winter. In addition, we secured funding in congress for the
next fiscal year. We are not out of the woods yet though. While we provided much-needed breathing room in the short-term, we must continue to work to explore options to ensure the program’s long-term sustainability. Water is one of our state’s most valuable resources. In the face of unending drought in southern Colorado, historic levels of flooding on the Front Range and significant population growth, the accuracy of these measurements is increasingly critical. Today’s snowpack is tomorrow’s water, and it is vital to our state’s future that we work together to ensure that our farmers, city leaders, and water managers have the tools they need to accurately forecast how much of this precious resource they’ll have each and every season.
ment. Though he tries to appear caring and concerned about Garland’s wellbeing, it soon becomes apparent that his main focus is upon himself. On the other hand, Anthony clearly does have the artist’s best interests as his top priority. I went to the theater expecting to love the whole experience. The set was stunning; the band was in top form; but as the
story began to unfold, I found myself feeling unsettled and uncomfortable. Garland was not the sweet little girl from Kansas. She was self-absorbed, demanding, and cursed with wild abandon, much to the discomfort of the kind, gentle Anthony. I really couldn’t wait for the evening to be over. Thankfully, as the story progressed, I was drawn in. The songs, like “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love,” “Come Rain Or Come Shine,” and “When You’re Smiling,” were wonderful. The connection between the singer and her pianist was palpable. Anthony reminded her that she had a cadre of gay accompanists who would always be in her corner. Initially, Deans insisted that Garland abandon all her pills and alcohol, but he not only gave in to her pleas, he eventually insisted that she continue to use them. The deterioration
of the legendary star was painful to see. Tari Kelly has the voice and the presence that were Judy Garland’s hallmarks. While Kelly doesn’t “impersonate” the star, she definitely channels her. The chemistry between Kelly (Judy and Clark (Mickey) never came together for me. It’s a difficult show to see but I ultimately came to appreciate it and would certainly recommend it. For tickets and information, call 720898-7200 or visit www.arvadacenter.org. Moderated talkbacks with the cast will be held on Friday, April 4 after the 7:30 p.m. performance and again on Wednesday, April 9 after the 1 p.m. show. In addition, the show will be ASL interpreted for the hearing impaired on Friday, April 11 at 7:30 p.m.
Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.
Arvada Center presents Garland tale The regional premiere of “End of the Rainbow” plays in the Main Stage Theater at the Arvada Center through April 13. The iconic Judy Garland (Tari Kelly) is in London preparing to make a spectacular return to the stage. It’s the Christmas season 1968 and the multi-talented star is accompanied by her new fiancee Mickey Deans (Zachary Clark). They enter their suite at the Ritz Hotel and are soon joined by Anthony (Jonas Cohen) a pianist with whom Judy has had a long and sometimes bumpy relationship. The diva’s finances have taken a serious hit and the hotel is none too interested in being added to her long list of creditors. She buys time by sweet-talking the manager but as the days go by, the financial problems mushroom. Deans is not only the current romantic interest, he’s her new manager and has booked a long engage-

When Jeni Umble was in college, she became a Mennonite, a decision which later in life led her to a pastoral career, a path she never thought she would take. “I had no interest in being a pastor at all, I was interested in history, with an emphasis in church history,” Umble said. But after doing an internship with a church in Indiana, Umble realized she had a passion for pastoral ministry, becoming their associate pastor. A few years later, she and her husband moved to Colora-

The Anabaptist tradition stems back to the 16th century as an extension of the Reformation. The Anabaptists, which means rebaptised, believe in the necessity of adult baptism, rather than infant or child baptism; nonviolence, emphasizing peace during all times, especially times of war; and placing Jesus’s teachings at the center of their beliefs, specifically his teachings from the Sermon on the Mount. — Source: US Mennonite Bretheren
losing members and in need of a new pastor. “Since 1985, they’ve had several short-term pastors, an interim pastor and then no pastor,” Umble said, “My hope is that I can give a sense of pastoral stability to the congregation — I’m going to be here for a while.” To officially recognize Umble’s new position and the church’s new name, Living Light of Peace held a Service of Transformation, Sunday, March 30. The service included an appearance by the church’s Mennonite conference pastor, Herm Weaver, a litany of transformation, a lighting of the Peace lamp and a special bulb-to-flower exchange. “You have a small group of people here who are seeking to change, and follow Jesus. The name
change is one concrete way to show they’re trying to be something different, and hiring Jeni is sort of a second step towards becoming something new, instead of a church that’s fading away,” Weaver said. Living Light of Peace, 5927 Miller St., is a Mennonite church practicing the Anabaptist tradition. Opened 50 years ago, the congregation once was a strong congregation fighting for social justice. Today, the congregation has decreased, serving around 20 members, and is looking to become a thriving, dedicated part of the community. “We voted to stay open and they voted to change the name as a mark of a new congregation,” Umble said. “The congregation is changing, and we want people to know they’re changing, we’re not the same congregation.” Living Light of Peace is open to the community and hosts weekly services at 10 a.m. every Sunday. Aside of Sunday services, the church hosts events such as Movies that Matter the first Saturday of every month; a community meal the third Wednesday of the month; and a chronic illness support group the third Monday of the month. “I would love to see this facility become a resource for the community,” Umble said.

Wine time to be had by all
Lakewood, Performance now stage ‘HairsPray’ By Clarke Reader
creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com The 1960s was an age of great music, shifting cultures and a rise in the voice of America’s youth. All of these facets are captured in the musical “Hairspray,” which is taking the stage in Lakewood, thanks to a partnership with the Performance Now Theatre Company. The show will be running at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway, through April 14. Performances are at 7:30 p.m on Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. “We’re lucky to have a lot of great singers, dancers and actors in the show and we’re really excited about WHAT: “Hairspray” it,” Ken GoodWHERE: Lakewood Cultural Center win, executive 470 S. Allison Parkway, Lakewood producer with WHEN: Through April 14 Performance 7:30 p.m - Friday and Saturday Now said. 2 p.m. - Saturday and Sunday “We haven’t COST: $28 done a show INFORMATION: 303-987-7845 or in a while that www.Lakewood.org/Tickets has this much dancing.” With music by Marc Shaiman and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, “Hairspray” takes place in Baltimore, Md., in 1962. All that teenager Tracy Turnblad wants to do is dance on “The Corny Collins Show” — a TV dance program loosely based on the Buddy Deane Show. Tracy wins a chance to perform on the show, which leads to a host of attention and meets a vast array of people, from the show’s host Corny Collins to Velma Von Tussle, the show’s deceitful producer. When Tracy wants to start integrating the show, things get hairy fast. “The show is about a lot, but one of the main things is integration,” Goodwin said. “It’s been great to work with a diverse cast, since that is such an important part of the story.” For Goodwin, one of the most exciting things about
IF YOU GO
“Hairspray” is the new cast members he and director Kelly Van Oosbree get to work with. “It’s great that we have a lot of new people in the show, and some of the leads are performing for the first time,” he said. “We had a pretty short turnaround — only 6 or 7 weeks to prepare — but we’re looking and sounding good.” This is the first time Performance Now has put on “Hairspray,” and Goodwin said the group is excited to put on a production that most in the company don’t have experience with. “There is some fantastic music in the show and the band we have is incredible,” he said. “This show really brings a wide fan base with it and it is especially popular with younger people because of the music and the younger cast.” The show is the twelfth co-presentation between Lakewood and Performance Now, a partnership that has been extremely beneficial to both groups, according to Susan Martin, cultural center administrator. “It’s a great opportunity whenever we work with them, and it allows both of us to expand and find something new to offer,” she said. “Performance Now brings a higher level than a lot of community theater, and this allows us to reach a different audience.” Martin added that one of the best parts of the partnership is that it can draw more people to the theater than would normally be interested, and allows that interest to really spread through the community. For Goodwin and everyone involved, the best way to describe the production of “Hairspray” is simple — fun. “There’s a lot of energy and it appeals to everyone,” he said. “It really is just an entertaining night at the theater.” For more information, call 303-9877845 or visit www.lakewood.org/tickets.

Gridiron Alumni recruiting for local alumni games Still think you have what it takes to find the end zone? Staff Report GOLDEN - Got a little bit left in the tank? Or maybe you just want to relive your glory days. Well you and your former teammates can do so on the football field with all of the proceeds going to local schools and charities. Gridiron Alumni is planning several full contact full pad alumni football games and
they are targeting several local high schools who they hope to get involved. Gridiron Alumni travels the nation pitting old football rivals against each other one more time, all for a good cause. Hundreds of players and thousands of fans have swarmed stadiums to watch their hometown heroes strap it on for the last time. Gridiron Alumni is targeting teams like Golden, Ralston Valley and others they hope to get involved. Players from the local area are invited to register and play. The first 40 players on each team get to play and the team that gets 30 people registered first gets home
field advantage. “We do most of our games in the spring and summer and we want to give guys plenty of time to get in shape, so time is of the essence if we’re going to get these games going,” said Chris Hall, founder of Gridiron Alumni. The games are set for the spring and summer. If you or someone you know is interested in putting on the pads one more time, please go to www.gridironalumni. com to register. If you have any questions, please call Chris at (530) 410-6396 or go to the website. Gridiron Alumni was founded in 2010 and has risen over $250,000 for schools and
charities using alumni football games as a fundraising vehicle. According to the website, Gridiron Alumni football has changed lives, communities and given thousands of men their spark back. You must be 18 or older to play and since it is Alumni football, you must play for the team where you went to high school, though occasional exceptions may be allowed. This is partially so that teams do not recruit “ringers” that didn’t go to the school. Gridiron Alumni’s goal is to make these games an annual event that the players and community could look forward to every year.
Jeffco Baseball Highlights: Bears rally down 10 to win Ralston Valley red hot prior to league play By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia. com Bears rally for improbable win Bear Creek looked ready to take a loss, but rallied for a 13-11 victory over Grand Junction Saturday at Bear Creek High School. The Warriors took a 10-0 lead after scoring runs multiple runs in each of the first three innings of the game. However, the Bears scored six runs in the bottom of the third inning and then six more in the bottom of the sixth, coming all the way back for an improbable victory. The win takes Bear Creek’s record back over .500 at 4-3, after a 1-3 start to the season. The Bears will host Loveland Thursday at 4 p.m. Jaguars win final game of trip D’Evelyn spent some of spring break in Arizona playing three games against out of state opponents last week. The Jaguars lost twice but won the final game of their trip, beating Marist High School 12-2. D’Evelyn scored five first inning runs and then capped the win off with seven more fifth inning runs as they blew out the team from Eugene, Oregon. Three different Jaguars scored multiple runs including senior Mikale Doherty and junior Grant Witherspoon. D’Evelyn (2-3) will host Conifer Wednesday at 4 p.m. Tigers tames during Arizona trip Lakewood got tested by several different Arizona schools as a part of their spring break road trip last week. The Tigers went 1-3 on their Grand Can-

Photo by Daniel Williams yon state trip, but two of those losses came by a single run. Lakewood’s lone victory was a 5-1 win over Paradise Valley School of Phoenix, Ariz. The Tigers scored two runs in the sixth and two more in the seventh inning to secure the win over a Paradise Valley team that already has eight victories this season. Lakewood junior Trevor Kehe went
2-for-4 and scored a run. The Tigers (3-4) will host Rock Canyon Thursday at 4 p.m. Mustangs working on spring break Ralston Valley used their spring break to beat up on several out of state opponents. The Mustangs traveled to Tucson, Ariz., last week and came back with four wins in five days. And not only did Ralston Valley beat
four opponents, the team beat them up, outscoring opponents 53-7. However, the Mustangs were finally beat by St. Laurence 7-4, a team from Illinois. Despite senior Jacob Gallegos’ 3-for3 effort, Ralston Valley gave up five fourth inning runs and fell for the first time this season. The Mustangs (6-1) will host Monarch Saturday at 2 p.m.
Arvada backing up talk, giving back to community Bulldogs’ host free clinic; will honor 1964 championship team By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ coloradocommunitymedia.com ARVADA - Arvada baseball is giving back. The Bulldogs held a free camp for boys and girls ages eight to 12, on Wednesday, March 26, at Arvada High School. Dozens of local youngsters showed to up and were mentored by Arvada players as well as head coach Gino Carbajal. Carbajal called the camp which is tied to their spring fundraiser a success and estimated they rose up to five thousand dollars for the Bulldogs’ program. He added that the camp and fundraising efforts came from the same model he used while the head coach at Faith Christian High School. In addition, at the end of the camp there was a mini dog show featuring Australian Shepherds who ran around and skillfully caught Frisbees. The camp came during the middle of

The Bulldogs are 2-2 on the young season (but they won a total of three games last season) Photo by Daniel Williams spring break giving the Arvada players an opportunity to recharge as they prepare for league play which starts this week. The Bulldogs (2-2) have looked incredibly improved even though the spring season just began. Arvada is just one win sly of last season’s win total (3-15-1 in 2013) and not only do they intend on crushing last season’s win
total, but they might have the good to compete for a 4A Jeffco league title. The Bulldogs last victory was a 10-0 blowout win over Jefferson last Monday at Arvada High School. Arvada scored four third inning runs to take control of the game using 13 total hits to bury the Saints. In addition, on Saturday the Bulldogs
will honor the 1964 Arvada Redskins State Champion baseball team before our game at home versus Wheat Ridge. Local legend Irv Brown will throw out the first pitch and members of the 1964 team will attend the game. Steve Bell, operations manager with Jeffco Public Schools, was the catcher on that team and he will be catching the first pitch.

Elway sees window closing, opens checkbook John Elway gets it. From refusing to play in Indianapolis and forcing a trade to the Denver Broncos as a rookie, to selling his car dealership empire at just the right moment, to cementing his legacy as an NFL icon by retiring after winning backto-back Super Bowls, Elway absolutely has a business sense and savvy that guys on Wall Street would kill for. That has carried over into his new role as general manager of the Broncos, as Elway has completely revived a proud franchise that was down-and-out, going 37-17 in his three seasons as the team’s shot caller. So the fact that the Broncos spent money this free agency season like a teenage girl with daddy’s credit card should tell you that Elway is on to something. Denver pulled out all of the stops to try and fill in the 43-8 gap that was the final score of their Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks by signing three Pro Bowl defensive players totaling over $110 million in contracts. Why the sudden splurge? Last season the Broncos played the 2013 season roughly $7 million under the sal-
ary cap. Was there a player they didn’t sign with that money last season with that money that could have put them over the top? Cliff Avril, a Seahawks pass-rushing specialist, was a luxury addition (two years/$12 million) that an already stout Seattle team added prior to the 2013 season. Avril went on to perhaps be the single most impactful player for the Seahawks in their Super Bowl win over Denver. Not only did the Broncos go cheap by not adding Avril, but the freaky-talented bulldozer terrorized Denver’s offensive the entire Super Bowl. And now looking back,

Elway might have let one get away. However, this season could be dramatically different for Denver and Elway knows it. Will the team have the same bill of health, friendly-schedule and high level of play led by a now 38-year-old quarterback? Fortunes can change in the NFL quicker than the Colorado weather. Teams can go from 13-3 Super Bowl contenders to a 3-13 bottom feeder in the blink of an eye (see 2013 Houston Texans). So does Elway believe that 2014 is Denver’s last legitimate run at a Super Bowl led by Peyton Manning? It’s hard

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF MaR 31, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to apr 19) Putting yourself in someone else’s shoes isn’t easy for you. But if you do it, you’ll gain a better perspective of what you need to do to achieve your goals. Be open to new ideas. TAURUS (apr 20 to May 20) There are still some problems you might have to deal with before moving on to your next project. It’s a good idea to accept help from those who share your objectives. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) It’s time to recognize the difference between those who are truly concerned for you and those who simply plan to use your good nature to their advantage. New ideas become increasingly attractive.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Depending on a promise made becoming a promise kept could be more than a mite unwise at this time. It’s best to proceed on your own rather than wait for aid that might never arrive. LEO (Jul 23 to aug 22) a recently revitalized relationship might not be quite what the Big Cat expected. But give yourself more time to deal with the changes. a little flexibility can go a long way. Good luck. VIRGO (aug 23 to Sept 22) a major change could prompt more adjustments. Some of them might be difficult to deal with at first. But hang in there, and before you know it, you’ll be coasting to your next goal. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your sense of justice prompts you to speak out against an unfair situation, even if you seem to be the only one who feels that way. But you soon learn that many others agree with you. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Creating a fuss is not usually your style. But that doesn’t mean you should tolerate an ill-mannered attitude. Speak up for yourself, and you’ll earn the respect of others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You might have a few loose ends to tie up before you can stamp your project as complete. But once that’s done, you might want to celebrate with someone special in your life. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Disappointment darkens the Goat’s mood. But close friends rally to pull you through with words of encouragement. Use their confidence in you to rebuild your own self-esteem. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) an upcoming decision might be more difficult with inaccurate information. Best to recheck the data you have at hand right now to be sure it won’t mislead you later. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) an offer you previously turned down might no longer be available. But if you do some checking around, you could find something else that would suit you just fine. BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in helping those who cannot help themselves. although it embarrasses you, the fact is, people like you and tell you so. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

If Elway senses that now if the right time to pull out all of the stops - as well as Pat Bowlen’s checkbook — while Denver’s championship window is still slightly cracked open, it would be hard to not believe he doesn’t know what he is doing. Or in other words: In John we trust.
