Adopting an increase in funding Jeffco Board of Education adopts the 2014-2015 budget By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Debates over charters schools and kindergarten funding created tension over the adoption of the 2014-2015 budget. On June 19, the Jefferson County Board of Education majority (John Newkirk, Julie Williams and Ken Witt) voted 3-2 to adopt the $1 billion budget for the 2014-2015 school year. Led by the majority, the board made two key changes, giving an additional $4.8 million to the teacher compensation placeholder and $1.85 million to charter school equalization, prior to adopting the budget. This year, Jeffco’s budget received a 3.2 percent increase
from last year’s $952 million. Moving into this next school year, the district will spend nearly $650 million for general fund expenditures and other uses, which is an increase of approximately $25 million from last year. Of that, approximately 79 percent of the general fund is used toward compensation, which with the additional $4.8 million given toward a 2.5 percent step increase for teachers, totals $520,420,700. “They (the board majority) came back on the $18.2 (million) for compensation,” said board member Lesley Dahlkemper on the evening’s budget discussion. “I was ready to make a motion on that placeholder to $18.2, and that’s why it was terrific when Mr. Newkirk brought that forward.” The negotiated agreement between the Jefferson County Educators Association and the district is currently in the factfinding process. In the agree-
ment, negotiators wanted to see a step increase for all teachers, but the board majority wished to see performance measures applied prior, only offering raises to highly effective teachers. This measure increases the total compensation placeholder to $18.2 million from $13.4 million, which includes step increases for both educators and certified school employees. Along with compensation increases, the majority also proposed increasing charter school funding, increasing per-pupil funding closer to what other students in the district are funded at. For the 2014-2015 school year, charter schools will receive an additional $5.5 million, and more than $60 million in the general fund expenditures overall, an increase of nearly $7 million from the 2013-2014 school year. The board also voted 3-2 to not fund free full-day kinder-
garten or reduce kindergarten class sizes. The board members said lack of district-specific study on the effects of full-day kindergarten played into their decision. District staff said that the current feasibility of reducing kindergarten class sizes was unknown. Among the charter school equalization and teacher compensation, the board also placed around $3.8 million towards primary math and literacy goals. “I’m delighted that through this year we’ve been able to direct funding towards early literacy, early math, equalization of funding for every student of public schools in Jeffco and I’m delighted with the budget outcome,” Board president Ken Witt said. “It takes a lot of work, it takes impassioned people focusing on what they believe the priorities ought to be and coming together and eventually arriving at the right answers and the right conclusions.”
Over the last few years, Olde Town Arvada has become a thriving downtown scene and now it will become the Olde Town Business Improvement District (BID). “This is important because Olde Town has really, really, really busted out in the last few years,” said Historic Olde Town Arvada (HOTA) President Karen Miller. “We’re becoming more of a draw not just locally, but regionally.” The city council voted 7-0 on June 16 to establish the Olde Town BID as a partnership between Olde Town merchants and the city to help enhance the area. Commercial property owners within the BID boundaries will have a choice in November of whether to approve an 8.5 Mill Levy tax increase for all commercial properties within that area. Should it pass, the increase will generate up to $68,000 with a one-to-one match with the City of Arvada, generating a possible annual services budget of $136,000. Properties located within the area bordered by Yukon Street to the West, Wadsworth Boulevard to the east, the south side of Ralston Road and to the north of Grandview Avenue will be included in the BID. Residential properties, nonprofit organizations and churches are exempt from the BID. “It really was time for us (HOTA) to grow up and invest in ourselves,” Miller said “By doing the mill levy you have a steady stream of revenue.” Previously, HOTA was funded through a grant from the city, which helped take care of the maintenance, marketing and events. Two years ago the organization and the city decided to no longer use the grant and became entirely volunteer driven. Through the BID, the organization will have a larger budget and be able to focus on increasing revenues, and improving marketing and events; enhancing maintenance around the district; advocate for the district; increase safety protocols and improve public amenities. ”In a downtown like this you have to have a strong organization to give the district a unified voice, to care for the district, to market the district, to be an advocate for the district and you’ve got to have a stable revenue stream,” Miller said. This is the third time HOTA has attempted to gain the special district status, with previous attempts in 1990s. An improvement district was formed in the early 2000’s, but was later disbanded. “I think we’re in a great place to reinforce what’s already good there, and it’s taken a long time to get there,” said Councilman-At-Large Bob Fifer during the June 16 meeting. “For those who have been there a very long time and weathered through the many shades of Olde Town — it’s really blooming right now, and now’s the right time to do it.”

Ideas to shift early education Over the past two weeks, I’ve started to make the case that, for all the seriousness and drama with which our community seems to be tackling the issue of education reform, we’re really not talking about serious, important reforms. Instead of tackling first principles, and redefining critical parts of what we do, we seem to be caught up in what Elon Musk calls “reasoning by analogy, which essentially means copying what other people do with slight variations.” And that’s fine, I suppose, but it’s not worth all of the angst it has inspired. What would be worth it? Allow me to propose a few radical ideas that, whether you agree with them or not, might actually be worth all the drama. First off, the young mind, and by that I mean pre-adolescent, is an amazing feat of computer engineering. The learning curve on a young brain is hundreds of degrees steeper than our most advanced computer circuits, and yet, we rarely try to accomplish anything with younger students commensurate with their innate potential. Right now, we have a system that is designed for younger students very basic—with rare exceptions, kindergarteners rarely get “specials” (art, music, physical
education: AMP) taught by a qualified specialist; from first through fifth or sixth grade, students only get each AMP the equivalent of every third day; recess and free play are increasingly getting squeezed out of the day; instrumental music is not offered until fifth or sixth grade; foreign languages rarely show up before middle school. What a waste! If we really wanted to build brains, instead of just churning out proficient test-takers, then we really need to look at the younger years differently. • Young students (first-fourth years) should have music every day! And not just because I teach music and it would be great for my profession — I teach music because it is important! The research is voluminous, but let me just highlight
one study out of Beijing (remember the Chinese? the next superpower and all?) as reported in the South China Morning Post: “Early musical training ... changes the brain and these brain changes could lead to cognitive advances ... (Yunxin) Wang found that musical training starting before age seven appeared to thicken areas of the brain involved in language skills and executive function.” That sounds a little like a shortcut to building a better brain. • Youngs should have art every day! In the same way that music rewires the brain, so do the visual arts. One study from Stanford, et al., draws a connection between concentrated time spent on making art and the ability to do mathematical computations. Other studies have linked art and creativity, and art and delayed gratification, which is one of the most important success-builder skills we can impart on students. • Youngs should have physical education every day! Physical activity increases blood flow to the brain, which is good for cognition; it helps clear mental clutter and return the emotions to a state of equilibrium, which are good for academic development; and it’s critical to overall health, which contributes to both physiological and academic growth. If it were me, I’d
prescribe martial arts for everyone, but I’m flexible ... some might prefer to dance. • Youngs should be taught a foreign language from the moment they step into a school. The pre-adolescent proclivity for language acquisition is well-documented. But, setting aside the utility of knowing a second language, learning a second language while getting command of the first (presumably, English) does nothing but strengthen the language centers of the brain, which has far-reaching benefits to students. Do you notice anything about the first four ideas I’ve laid out? None of those subjects are tested currently, which means that none of them are really valued in our system of education. And yet the documentation of the benefits of all of these is incontrovertible. So if we’re going to have knock-down, drag-out fights over education reform, then let’s start to talk about actual reforms, and stop getting so fired up about analogous tweaks.

Fireworks use reminder from sheriff ’s office Staff Report The Fourth of July holiday is one week away and fire restrictions have been lifted in Jefferson County. As a reminder, any device that explodes or leaves the ground is illegal in Colorado which includes firecrackers, cherry bombs, bottle rockets, M-80’s and Roman candles. All fireworks are prohibited in Jeffco Open Space Parks, Denver Mountain Parks and Forest Service lands. While unincorporated Jeffco as well as cities may allow for the use of sparklers, smoke devices, cone fountains and glow worms; other cities like Golden have banned the use of these types of fireworks. “While they might seem benign, there are injuries that can happen,” said Jerry Stricker, fire marshal for the City of Golden Fire Department.
In 2012, U.S. hospital emergency rooms treated around 8,700 people for fireworksrelated injuries, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Nearly three out of five of those injuries were burns, while 30 percent of the people seen were under the age of 15. The association also reported that the holiday accounts for two out of five of all reported fires, more than any other cause of fire. In 2011, fireworks caused an estimated 17,800 reported fires, including 1,200 structure fires, 400 vehicle fires, and 16,300 outside fires and others. The Jeffco Sheriff’s Office released an announcement stating that deputies will strictly enforce illegal fireworks violations in unincorporated areas of the county. Any person caught selling, possessing or using illegal fireworks commits a class three misdemeanor and may face a fine of up to $750.

Current Surge in Home Prices Will Impact Residential Property Taxes in 2015 By JIM SMITH, Realtor ® June 30th of every even numbered year is a key date for county assessors, because the value of homes on that date determines the taxable valuation of all homes for the following two calendar years. The taxes for this year are actually based on what your home would have sold for on June 30, 2012, determined from sales during the 24 months prior to that date. Our taxes didn’t increase much or at all for the past two years because homes had mostly lost value during the 24 months leading up to that date. This year, however, is a different matter. The increase in home prices has been dramatic this year throughout Jefferson County, and the result will inevitably be much higher taxes on your home for the next two years — a real windfall for taxing jurisdictions without any increase in their mill levies. That’s because no restriction is placed on how much your taxes can increase based on the value of
your home. The mill levy — which is subject to voter approval — can stay exactly the same and your taxes can rise dramatically. The valuation software employed by the county assessors looks at sales over the prior 24 months and “ages” those sales to come up with a valuation as of June 30th of this year. For example, let’s say that a comparable home to yours sold a year ago for $200,000. The computer would calculate the increase in valuation for all homes during the last 12 months and change that comparable valuation, say, to $210,000 or even more when calculating what your home might have sold for on June 30, 2014. We are blessed that our property taxes for residential properties are so low in Colorado. People who relocate to our state from, say, Texas, are surprised and delighted at how low our property taxes are here. In Texas, there is no income tax and people think that’s terrific, but governments cost
money, and what Texans save on income tax has to be made up for in other ways. A common misperception about property taxes is that incorporated cities have higher property taxes than unincorporated areas, but the opposite is the case. The City of Golden, for example, has a mill levy of only 12.34 mills. That covers police, fire, parks & recreation, and more. Just east of the city limits, homes in unincorporated Jeffco pay 13.63 mills for the West Metro Fire Protection District alone, another 3.2 mills for police protection, and another 10.9 mills for parks, water and sanitation. That’s a huge difference.

The guinea pig is one of many the woman shows and is worth approximately $200. There are no suspects in this case. No more information is available at this time.
Some gritty competition Arvada’s Sand in the City festival brings the beach By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Arvada’s kicking off summer in style with the annual summer beach festival, Sand in the City. A sand sculpture contest, Sand in the City will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., June 28-29, at Ralston Recreation Park, 6201 Quay St. The event will feature 10 giant sculptures hand crafted by 10 artistic teams made up of residents and businesses. “One of the things we are looking forward to is it’s something unique,” said Arvada Chamber of Commerce President Kami Welch. “This is a landmark in Colorado — we’re bringing the beach to Arvada.” The event takes 60 tons of sand divided among into 10, 15-by-15foot lots, where teams will spend the day Friday, June 27, sculpting and perfecting their sandy scenes out of nine tons of sand. That night, the sculptures will be judged by a panel of nine local dignitaries, and displayed throughout the festival. “It’s playing in sand for a full day instead of working,” said Michelle Francis, a member of the Arvada Young Professionals and Personal Benefit Services team. “It’s all about

A family-friendly festival, the event will also feature an interactive kid’s zone with treasure hunts in giant sand boxes, magicians, and bouncy
castles as well as numerous vendors. Attendees will also have the opportunity to walk around and view the different sculptures, listen to live music on the grassy lawn, and enjoy in local food and craft beer around the event. “It’s the only event of its kind in the state of Colorado — it’s very unique,” Francis said. “It’s going to be huge, with activities for the whole family. Make sure to spend
good time looking at each sculpture, guess what it is and have fun with it.” The event is free and open to the public. Organizers said they expect to see around 10, 000 people at the beach-party event. “There is nothing like this in the state,” Welch said. “There’s ice, but not sand, and we love to bring this here, highlighting what Arvada has to offer.”

Glass artist is man of darn few words Arvada Center makes use of space By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Drive past the Arvada Center and something new will immediately stand out. The 17-acre field just to the south of the center is now full of 27 sculptures from 15 different Colorado artists, varying in size, style and design. Presented in partnership with the Museum of Outdoor Arts and Exempla Lutheran, “Unbound: Sculpture in the Field” will be on display in the field at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through September 2015. Participating artists include Vanessa Clarke, Emmett Culligan, John Ferguson, Sonja Hinrichsen, Erick C. Johnson, Andy Libertone, Nancy Lovendahl, Robert Mangold, Patrick Marold, Dave Mazza, Andy Miller, Charles Parson, Carl Reed, Joe Riche, Kevin Robb and Bill Vielehr. “This is the best round of exhibits ever,” said curator Collin Parson. “It all started with the field — it’s been empty for years, and we wanted to explore the idea of how we can change that.” Parson said that the idea be-
hind the sculptures was to get a sense of what the field would look like in the future, and from there a partnership with the Museum of Outdoor Arts. “This is a great collaboration, and we’ve worked with several of these artists before,” said Cynthia Madden Leitner, president and executive director of the museum. “I saw understood Collin’s vision and saw the potential to attract people to the center.” The materials the sculptures are made from range from metal and wood to stone, all in modern style. Most are abstract and stand out in the field. The tallest of the works are 25-feet high. “We grouped the artists together to create some continuity,” said Parson. “With our artists we almost have several generations of artists.” Since the sculptures are made of such a variety of materials, setting each one up required different tools. Some were installed with just a few pairs of hands and a ladder or two, but others required some heavy duty machinery. “The City of Arvada has been great in helping us out with whatever we need,” Parson said. Parson said that the sculptures are meant to be experience in a tactile way, and so visitors are encouraged to get up close and touch them and move around

They should not be climbed on, however. The sculptures definitely change the space around them and enhances the overall view of the kind of spaces the center can offer. “No other arts center has the kind of area and openness like this,” said artist Charles Parson. “It’s that western expanse that is so unique.” Charles added that the community creative energy that has been unleashed in setting up the sculptures has been a huge boon for everyone involved. “Everyone has been here early and wanted to be here,” he said. “This is what we live to do.” The hope is that Sculptures in the Field will not only inspire Arvada residents, but everyone who would like to see more public works. “When people see what can be, I think they’ll want bigger and better,” said Leitner. “We need more sculpture gardens to support artists and do something different.” In kind sponsors for the project include Colorado Hardscapes, Sunbelt Rentals, Lowe’s Arvada, Demiurge Sculptural Fabrication, Warren Tech, Arvada Rent-Alls, Art Management & Planning.

Dale Chihuly, the “it man” in the world of art glass, clearly prefers to let his stupendous pieces of spectacular art speak for themselves rather than pontificating on his work. During a five-minute media meetand-greet recently, Chihuly politely posed for pictures in front of the Monet Garden Pool at the Denver Botanic Gardens where an installation of the artist’s genius dots the grounds. The exhibition runs through Nov. 30. He answered a couple of questions while cameras, notebooks and voice recorders pressed in. This man of few words lets his art do the talking, and it has a lot to say. The exhibit, which features installations (some designed specifically for the Denver Botanic Gardens) at 14 sites, is a don’t-miss opportunity to bask in colorful beauty. Now that I’ve seen the show during the day, a nighttime return is on my short list. This is the Rocky Mountain Region’s first major outdoor exhibition of artwork by the celebrated American artist. Chihuly’s sculptures — ranging in size and form — add bold colors and dramatic beauty to the Gardens’ 24-acre urban oasis. Chihuly is credited with revolutionizing the Studio Glass movement and elevating the perception of the glass medium from the realm of craft to fine art. He is renowned for ambitious architectural installations around the world, in historic cities, museums and gardens. While I was oohing and aahing over the Saffron Tower & Cattails in the Ellipse Garden, a 30-foot-tall creation made of 312 hand-formed yellow neon tubes, the artist, along with “handlers,” rode up to the site in a golf cart. I asked him what he was thinking as he gazed at the Saffron Tower. “It has a lot of power, especially at night,” Chihuly said. Well said. For more information and to buy tickets, go to botanicgardens.org/ exhibits/outdoor/chihuly/about.
Changeable Chihuly
The artist who earned his chops in the international glass art world wanted to stay at The Ritz-Carlton or The Four Seasons during his Denver visit. I’m told by an impeccable source that The Ritz graciously offered the Seattlebased iconic artist the Presidential Suite gratis as a donation to the Denver Botanic Gardens, but when Chihuly arrived at the Denver digs, he was taken aback by the Chihuly-knockoff glass piece installed on the hotel’s second floor. So he switched to The Four Seasons.

Hickenlooper’s gun comments spark firestorm By Vic Vela
vvela@colorado communitymedia.com Gun control advocates say they were not taken aback by comments from Gov. John Hickenlooper that initially indicated a back-peddling of support for a key piece of gun legislation enacted last year. “Words are one thing, but I’m action-based,” said Tom Sullivan, whose son Alex was killed in the July 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting. “In the signing of the gun bills last year, the actions of the governor showed me exactly where he is on this – that he’s firmly with us on common sense laws.” But others point to Hickenlooper’s recent remarks to a group of sheriffs – followed by an interview in which he sought to clarify those comments – as an example of failed leadership. “We don’t need excuses, and we don’t different versions of the story,” said Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker. “I don’t need apologies. I need a new governor.” The governor created a media firestorm after he acknowledged to a group of county sheriffs who were
meeting in Aspen on June 13 that he had been conflicted about signing a law that placed bans on high-capacity ammunition magazines. Hickenlooper told the sheriffs that he signed the legislation – which banned the sale of magazines that hold more than 15 rounds – after a member of his “staff made a commitment” to signing it, according to video footage of the governor’s comments, which were obtained by the conservative website, Revealing Politics. The governor also said that he did not speak with former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg – a key financial backer of gun control measures – about the legislation. But phone records obtained by other media outlets show that calls between the two did in fact take place. A week after the fallout over his remarks, Hickenlooper clarified his comments and reaffirmed his commitment to the legislation. “If we went through the process again, I’d sign it again,” he told KDVR in an interview that aired on June 20. Hickenlooper also said in the interview that he made

single Republican voted for the magazine ban at the Legislature in 2013. This year, they unsuccessfully failed to repeal that and a separate law that created universal background checks on gun sales. House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, took issue with Hickenlooper telling county sheriffs that he had no idea that the bills would be so controversial. “Prior to his signature, there were hundreds of people including sheriffs from around the state testifying at the Capitol in opposition to these gun control bills,” DelGrosso said. “I would think testimony from law enforcement along with thousands of protesters and hundreds of thousands of emails would have shown Governor Hickenlooper these gun control bills were controversial.” Holbert, who is leaving the House to run for a state Senate seat, sponsored the repeal effort in the House this year. He believes that Hickenlooper, who is running for re-election this year, has hurt himself on this issue many times and that it will cost him, politically.

Wear supplied much of the wardrobe for the new A&E Western series “Longmire.” Series co-star Lou Diamond Phillips and much of the cast wear Rockmount. In the June 23 episode, “In the Pines,” Phillips wore signature shadow plaid No. 694-Blue. Rockmount tweeted it out June 18 and Phillips retweeted it to 84,000 followers. Adding to the story, Craig Johnson, the series author and an FOR (friend of Rockmount), whose wife, Judy, owns The Bucking Buffalo in Sheridan, Wyo., has been a Rockmount dealer for almost 20 years. In other news, Rockmount announces the rollout of its new website, rockmount.com. The site is entirely reworked and upgraded, replacing the one the snap-front shirt manufacturer first rolled out in honor of founder Papa Jack’s 100th birthday in 2001. More than a catalog, the website features celebrities who wear Rockmount and archives the press coverage the family business generates.

the decision to sign the legislation more than a month before the bill reached his desk, and he acknowledged that he did speak with Bloomberg, but only after the governor’s mind was made up. Rep. Rhonda Fields, DAurora, who sponsored the legislation in the House, told Colorado Community Media that she received no assurances from the governor’s office that he was planning on signing her bill. “I never had any assurance that my bills would pass,” she said. “It’s just too much of a sensitive issue for someone to make that kind of declaration.” Fields said she has been “pleased with what the governor has done to pass these measures” and that she’s not concerned with the events from last week. “My reaction overall is that I’m really proud of the work we’ve been able to achieve in Colorado in regard to gun safety measures,” Fields said. “We’re setting the tone for what other states are doing on this issue and the measures we took were very common sense.” Republicans don’t think that’s the case at all.

Summer enrichment can sound like a drag, but for participants in Jefferson County’s Indian Education program, it’s an opportunity to get in touch with their heritage and pride. The two-week program will be at Wheat Ridge 5-8 school for the first two weeks of June and covers all types of activities, from bead work and teepee construction to lacrosse — which is a Native American sport that has been played more than 400 years. “We want to show that traditions and cultures evolve and grow — they have to,” said Thompson Williams, coordinator for Indian Education. Williams said there are around 600 students with a Native American background in Jeffco this year, but that the Indian Education department needs students to fill out an 506 eligibility form to get the funds to keep the program running through the Title 7 program. The summer program had 25 students from kindergarten through middle school, with high school students who served as mentors to the younger students. “Their exposure to their cultural heritage varies — some have a lot of connections to it and others not so much,” Williams said. “We had some parents who volunteered with during the program which helped a lot.” One of the activities that students participated in this year was Native American games, particularly Alaskan tribes. Williams said the students not only learned how the games are played but the kind of skills they teach, like hunting.
Learning how to make teepees was just one of the skills students learned during the Indian Education summer program. Courtesy photo “We want our students to take pride in their culture, and there are so many ways that these skills be utilized in academics,” he said. “In bead work, you need to understand mathematics to make sure the designs come out right.” Williams also said that the students heard a presentation on the culture’s history with music and dances, which lead to a discussion on poetry and storytelling. When it comes to getting students to participate in these kinds of programs — as well as those that happen during the school year — Williams said that students may feel they don’t have enough of a connection or knowledge of their history to participate. “The students don’t have to be in a tribal role or anything like that,” he said. “There is a lot of knowledge about the culture to share, and we have to expand that history to our modern lives.”

Fourth of July a celebration of place Nearly every weekend of my childhood in grade-school days found my sister and me (and sometimes a passel of playmates) bouncing around in the back of our family’s rusting white Jeep Cherokee, choking through the midsummer dust from the washer-board road on our way up the Silver Lakes in the San Juan Mountains of Southern Colorado. One of these pals told me recently that she and her husband chose their mountain home-on-the-lake because of what she remembers about our cabin, which catapulted me back into my own memories of spending the Fourth of July at Sliver Lakes. The recollections I have about Silver Lakes are tinged with joy, wonder, surprise, and sometimes even terror: … clambering around on moss-covered boulders at lake’s edge to pick tiny sweet wild raspberries from the prickly bushes.
… running down the narrow two-track road on the high side of Lake 2 to the ancient tire swing that hanged from a huge Ponderosa pine out from the precipice of the road. Tripping on my feet and going down hard, gouging both knees on the hard sharp pointed edges of the graywhite shale placed on the road to keep it

Tune in to major life lesson from television Now, I am not typically a huge fan of TV shows. Maybe I should say it differently: My preference has always been to read when I have downtime, or write, or just take some quiet time instead of watching TV. And I would say that for most of my adult life that has been consistent. Of course, there are the exceptions to the rule, such as the Weather Channel, where Jim Cantore has been bringing great stories and keeps us hanging on the edge of our seats with his live action shots for so many years. Then there is the Discovery Channel, and really, what is better than shows about Vikings or Shark Week? And I love local news broadcasts and catching up on everything that is happening locally and around the world. Lastly, I enjoy having baseball on in the background as I read or write — I love the game and will
watch or listen to almost any game that may be on. This past year, I have been introduced to a few programs such as “Person of Interest,” “The Good Wife,” and “24.” For this column I wanted to focus on the last one, Norton continues on Page 9

Push past your fears—get out there In my twenties I used to be a brave person who took lots of risks—I rode in rodeos, rock climbed, and hitchhiked in foreign countries. The physical vibrancy of youth gave me extra confidence. But at the age of 34 I gave birth to my daughter and then my son at 37, and stopped taking unnecessary risks. As the years went by one day I looked at myself in the mirror and said, “You’ve turned into a wimp, Mary. All you do is make meals, take care of kids, clean the house, and write.” And now as I look at my life spending hours at the computer writing, I miss the excitement of adventure. Up until last August I did still ride my bike around the neighborhood, but then after my bike accident, I had months of rehab. After I healed I decided I’d better do some traveling while I still could, see the world before it was too late. Traveling offered a chance to take risks again like when I was younger, because it involves possible threats — plane crashes, terrorist attacks, and bizarre illnesses. The literature from Cosmos Tours that came before my recent trip to Munich, Vienna, Budapest and Prague warned of pickpockets and suggested a money-belt to wear beneath my pants. I chose instead a small cross body purse with three zippers from Eddie Bauer. But I kept my eyes open for pickpockets and groups of gypsies who might surround me. Because I took the risk of traveling to unfamiliar countries, where many people don’t speak English, I had experiences that raised me out of wimpiness.
I took the subway in Prague, Czech Republic by myself. The key to my success was asking help from strangers. A young Czech man showed me how to buy the ticket, and which train to get on to go downtown. What he didn’t tell me was where to validate the ticket before I got on so the fare police wouldn’t bust me. The police didn’t catch me but did catch my cousin who went on another train. She got charged the equivalent of 30 dollars and was upset. I don’t blame her. Because of her nasty experience in Prague, I had to practically drag her onto the tram in Vienna. We managed to get our tickets validated in the machine on the tram. I loved traveling on public transportation on this trip, it made me feel empowered, not having to deal with a car, and mingling with the locals. In Vienna I observed a baby strapped against her mother’s front side by cloth ties, so the baby lay against Mom’s chest and could look up into Mama’s eyes. Smart European women! I took the risk to navigate unfamiliar places alone like Margaret’s Island in Budapest. Joggers ran past me, but I felt safe on the dirt trails through the trees and gardens. But getting out on my own

from washing away. … skirting the edge of the lake to reach the almost impossibly tall log, polished from years of our scooting across it to avoid the trek through the marshy muddy part of the shore on the creepy end of Lake 2 – the small shallow end that turned away from the cabins to hide its ankle-clutching weeds and mossy murky surface – to arrive safely on the other side. … tubing in the winter down the open slope beside our cabin, first trudging up through snow tall as the tops of our windows, then flying down inside big squishy inner tubes with our black Lab flailing along beside us, barking and biting at our boots and hats, and who once lashed onto my

“24.” If you are familiar with the premise, you understand that every show for the entire season happens one hour at a time. Meaning it can start at 4 p.m. and every event that takes place during that show will be completed by 5 p.m. Each episode, tons of action and loaded with drama, all takes place each week within 60 minutes. So as I watched the most recent intense, action-packed and drama-filled one hour of Jack Bauer’s life on “24,” I was caught up in thinking about a program based on a philosophy that Zig Ziglar used to promote and embody himself, the idea of being a 24 Hour Champion. So what does that mean? Zig would remind us that we are not just eight- to 10hour per day employees or business people: We are moms and dads, we are community volunteers, we are part of groups and associations, and we have our circles of friends. So it’s not just about what we do to earn a living or support our family, it’s about who we are in each hour of each 24-hour day we are blessed enough to spend here on earth. How do we do this? We have to focus on our self-confidence and healthy self-image; we have to maintain a positive attitude; we have to build and develop relationships at home and at work; we have to set goals and pursue those goals; and we have to live with hope. Now back to why this resonated with
I discovered the magical fountain in the center of the island that reminded me of Bellagio in Las Vegas. If I’d played it safe I wouldn’t have seen this. In Vienna the local guide talked about the opera and said she went three or four times a week. She changed into her opera clothes in the middle of the city tour. So I took the risk of heading for the Vienna Opera on my free day. I searched for someone outside the Opera House selling tickets to the sold out show of Mozart’s Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute.) Five minutes before show time a man sold me a 32.00 ticket which got me into the top level seating section. Ha, me a cowgirl from Colorado at the opera in Vienna, Austria. Wow. Great show. Since I’ve returned home (Friends and family were relieved to see me home alive) I have one thing to tell any timid readers especially the older ones like me. Get out there and take some risks. If traveling entices you, go for it! When you accomplish new things, it makes you feel great and makes life worth living. Mary McFerren Stobie has decided now that her kids are raised she can start taking risks again. Just yesterday she went down the high waterslide with her four-year-old grandson at Wheat Ridge Recreation Center. She’s still working on her memoir at her computer, but doesn’t stay there all day, because that would be too safe. Contact her with your trip stories, writing comments and anything else at mry_jeanne@yahoo.com
streaming hair and dragged me shrieking out onto the frozen lake in all her flopping gangling Labrador triumph. … venturing down to Lake 4, where there were no boats, no fishing docks, no cabins, and virtually no trail, where fringed creaking pines hung over the lake with branches extended into the darkened water, and deadfall — silent as the dawn — monitored our tentative progress. Unknown and unseen creatures rustled in the heavily wooded sides of the trail, sending us scrambling over menacing roots and through the brambly thickets back up to the familiar safety of Lake 3, where we arrived gasping with burning lungs and proud of our efforts. I visited my friend’s mountain home last summer, writing quietly on her dock as she walked her own black Lab beside the lake. I remembered catching my first fish from a dock not unlike that one, dragging up onto the shore a sparkling rainbow trout so big me during a recent viewing of a television program. The concept in the show “24” is that we see everything that is going on in a window of 60 minutes. So I thought about if someone was viewing my efforts, actions, words and, yes, even drama, would they see someone who is caught up in the moment or would they see someone who is maximizing each minute of each hour to work on mind, body, and spirit? As much as we believe we are not in control of our time or maybe even question our control over our own future, it really is in our grasp to live the life we want to live. When we live as 24 Hour Champions we are truly set up and empowered to succeed. Becoming a 24 Hour Champion does not mean we are awake for 24 hours. What it means is that we stay well-rested, work hard, play hard, volunteer when and where we can, laugh hard, learn hard, and love even harder than everything mentioned above. We, not anyone else, we alone are responsible for how we see ourselves and attempt to live up to becoming a 24 Hour Champion based on how we treat our minds, our bodies, and our spirits. I would love to know more about your own 24 Hour Champion efforts, and I would love to share more about the concept with you if you would send me an email at gotonorton@gmail.com. When we aspire to be better than good, it really will be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Councilmember Don Allard made a statement that should be a cause of great concern to all Arvada citizens at the June 9 Arvada City Council Workshop meeting. City Manager Mark Deven was presenting the capital improvements projects to be considered by the city for the next several years. Near the end of his presentation he suggested the possibility of a Citizen Committee to give their input regarding the priorities of various projects. A few of the council members expressed concern about the staff time such a committee would need and the need to set parameters for the projects under consideration but generally they were supportive of the idea. Mayor Williams went so far as to recommend that these citizens should not be the “favorite sons and daughters” of councilmembers. The exception to this opinion was that of Mr. Allard. His opinion is that we citizens are “uninformed” and it would be “a waste of city staff time to educate us.” He seemed to feel that his decades of city council experience were more than sufficient and citizen input would be unnecessary and even inconvenient to him and the rest of council. Unfortunately, this is not the first time he has expressed this opinion. He said something very similar last July following the council vote on WalMart. He did not need to be concerned just because nearly 400 people showed up to voice their opposition to city council. I’ll give him credit for his honesty but obviously he is completely “uninformed” that his extensive experience is exactly the reason that citizen input would be valuable. The amount of time that many councilmembers have been in office in Arvada has caused a lack of fresh ideas and a lack of creative, open-minded thinking. It is time for some diversity on Arvada City Council. Cindi Kreutzer Arvada
the entire yellow-reed fishing pole I was holding high above my head for a photo was completely bent in its own arch so the tip of the pole touched the ground. For me, the Fourth of July – a celebration of our nation’s birth – is also a celebration of place, a celebration of memories, and a celebration of childhood in the mountains of

Dawg Bowl draws players, charity dollars Rapidly growing tournament is one of the state’s biggest By Staff Report LITTLETON — No one was dogging it last weekend. Hundreds of players from 40 different teams competed in the fourth annual Dawg Bowl Charity Hockey Tournament at Edge Ice Arena. Over three long days players from all over the state and beyond competed against each other, but all for the same cause. Celebrities were on hand and thousands of dollars were again raised to benefit adult hockey players facing catastrophic illness or injury. In addition, four of the players who competed in the tournament who have health issues were surprised with large checks after the tournament as the four split nearly $50,000 in raised money. “This tournament is really unlike any other and the people playing and attending are all really special,” Tom Wade said. The Dawg Nation Tournament is one of the largest adult hockey tournaments in Colorado with 40 adult teams in 7 divisions (men and women), according to their website. In addition, former Colorado Avalanche and longtime NHL stud Pierre Turgeon was one of the “Survivors Game” coaches, while former LA King Derek Armstrong, current coach of Avalanche CHL affiliate, the Denver Cuttthroats, coached the other.
A member of the Braves hustles to produce a pass up the ice and past a member of the Dawgs during one of Sunday’s Dawg Bowl IV Tournament at Edge Ice Arena. Photo by Dan Williams Saturday’s “Survivors Game,” featured players and referees who have survived catastrophic cancer or other illness or injury. And in addition former NHL player and current Colorado Avalanche broadcaster Peter McNab was on hand and announced
some of the action. McNab is set to begin his 14th season as the Colorado Avalanche’s television color analyst and is a mainstay in the hockey community. According to their press release, Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation is a nonprofit
organization dedicated to promoting the spirit of fellowship via recreational hockey competition, supporting players and player’s families in high standards of health, wellness, and fair play and supporting league and team players in local community outreach.
Where to watch the World Cup No matter where you live we have a soccer spot for you By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com LAKEWOOD — Caught up by the World Cup? It is hard not to be considering Team USA’s impressive and emotional run. But if you are looking for some other “football fans” to enjoy the World Cup with than we have compiled a list of places who are welcoming soccer fans of every country. World of Beer (Lakewood and Cherry Creek); To lead off our list we present an establishment where you can actually enjoy a beer from any corners of the world. WOB has quickly become a destination sports bar and during the World Cup there may not be a better place to enjoy the action. Buffalo Wild Wings (multiple locations); BWW is the perfect place to take the family to watch any of the World Cup matches. Not only are there dozens and dozens of televisions but they also have several huge screens and there is not a bad seat in the house at any of their locations. Add some Asian Zing flavored wings and
World of Beer in Belmar has quickly turned into a destination hot spot for beer drinkers. It is also the perfect place to bring a few buddies and watch Team USA soccer. Photo by Dan Williams you will be set. Hopper’s (Wheat Ridge), This place isn’t only a great sport to watch World Cup action (they had happy hour all day long on Sunday when the US played Portugal),
but after the game you can relax on their outdoor patio or get a game of sand volleyball going. British Bulldog (downtown Denver), If you want to go be around a bunch of other
rowdy soccer fans and you don’t want to miss a second of the action go check out the British Bulldog who has a giant screen lifted three stories in the air where all USA games can be seen. It maybe the British Bulldog but you will be surrounded by a ton of people in red, white and blue. Zocalo’s (Denver), There is a giant Latino population in Colorado and for those who are interested in Mexico advancing and not the US, than Zocalo’s in Denver is your spot. Cheap combination plates and cheap margaritas fuel this Mexican hot spot where the loudest Mexican fans support their team. Twin Peaks (Golden and DTC), The scenery at Twin Peaks is second to none and I do not mean the big screen TVs. The ultimate guy hang out also has very underrated food and their TVs are set up so you won’t miss a minute of the action. Twin Peaks is spacious and the perfect spot to go watch the matches with a group of guys. GB Fish & Chips (Edgewater and Denver), Something about European football makes me want Euro food. GB Fish & Chips has three convenient locations to not only have the best fish and fries in town, but it is also a very underrated place to kick back and watch a match.
SportS quiz 1) Name the last major-league team before the 2013 Tampa Bay Rays to compile at least seven complete games in one month by its pitchers. 2) In 2013, Baltimore’s Chris Davis became the third player in major-league history to have at least 40 doubles and 50 homers in a season. Name the other two. 3) How many quarterbacks were picked before San Francisco’s Colin Kaepernick in the 2011 NFL Draft? 4) When was the last time before 2013 that the University of Michigan men’s basketball team reached the
Final Four? 5) In 2013, Jaromir Jagr set the record for most career game-winning goals (122). Who had held the mark before him? 6) Of the 56 winners (through 2014) of the Daytona 500, how many started on the pole? 7) What is the highest total of matches Serena Williams has won in a single tennis season? Answers 1) The Philadelphia Phillies, in 1999.
2) Babe Ruth and Albert Belle. 3) Five — Cam Newton, Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder and Andy Dalton. 4) It was 1993. 5) Gordie Howe. 6) Nine. 7) Seventy-eight, in 2013. 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Proud to be an American? Of course. Proud to be an American soccer fan? Not so much. America is swept up in World Cup fever but it likely won’t last past the conclusion of the 2014 World Cup. While I certainly don’t mean any disrespect to soccer and would never disrespect America, I think I discovered the reason why USA soccer is not a world power like Brazil, Germany and Spain. Instead, mighty America is considered a second-rate soccer country, considered with Ghana, Ecuador and Mexico as the longest shots, with actually no shot, to win the World Cup. Even America’s coach, who don’t forget is a German, said before the start of the tournament that Team USA had no shot to actually compete for a World Cup title. But why? Why isn’t America, with the best athletes, the best training and the most resources, able to compete with the best in the world when it comes to soccer? It comes down to the actual AmeriAP

Summer tips to keep your body tight Staying fit this summer could be easier than you think By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com Are you ready for the summer but your beach body is still a little soggy? Us too. Now that the summer is officially here there are no more excuses to be made for not feeling as good about your body as you know you could. But maybe you don’t want to go to the gym and lift a ton of weights or get on the treadmill for an hour. That is why we put together a list of several very effective ways to trim a little weight so you can fit a little easier into your summer swimsuit.
1) Swimming; There is no better place to spend a hot summer day than in a cool swimming pool. Moreover, while you’re swimming around in the pool you hardly feel like you’re working out at all. However, swimming for one hour could burn up to 500 calories. 2) Yard work; There is no avoiding it so you might was well work a little harder pulling weeds, planting a garden or trimming up some unsightly bushes, knowing that your sweating off pounds in the process. If you are unmotivated to mow your hard just remember not only are you making your yard look better but you are going to also look better after your hard work. 3) Hiking/walking; If you’re not into jogging take advantage of a nice brisk hike or walk. Whether you go to Mount Falcon in Morrison for a hike or you just want to
walk to rent a Red Box movie from the store instead of drive, a good hour walk can burn 400-600 calories. 4) Dance; Even if you have no rhythm everyone enjoys dancing. And your body will enjoy it more seeing how you can burn up to 400 calories by shaking your groove thing for an hour. Whether you enjoy Lou Rawls or Justin Timberlake, put in a CD while you are cooking or gardening and shake what your momma gave you and you will shake off the pounds. 5) Shopping; Wait, what? Yes, Wal-Mart is huge and the mall is even bigger. How about the farmers market? If you want to stay out of the heat but also stay motivated go shopping for a couple hours. And if you spend a little money and have several bags to carry you also just increased your workout. A couple hours looking around a
couple stores a couple days a week could lead to a couple lost pounds. The Department of Health and Human Services recommends these exercise guidelines: Aerobic activity: Get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity. However, to effectively lose or maintain weight, some people may need up to 300 minutes a week of moderate physical activity. You also can do a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. The guidelines suggest that you spread out this exercise during the course of a week, and sessions of activity should be at least 10 minutes in duration. Strength training: Do strength training exercises at least twice a week.

FOR THE WEEK OF JunE 23, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A change of season reinvigorates the Lamb, helping to overcome the effects of a recent slower-paced period. This is a good time to restate your feelings for that certain someone. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) You might not like using your authority to correct a workplace situation, but that’s what being placed in charge is all about. Besides, you have people ready to lend support if need be.
& weekly horoscope
GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Your creativity continues to run high and helps guide you to make some fine choices in the work you’re doing. Keep the weekend free for those special people in your life.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Don’t be surprised if you experience a sudden spurt of energy strong enough to pull you out of that recent period of indecision and put you back in charge of your own goals. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) This is a good time for Leos and Leonas to set new goals regarding health, educational choices and possible career moves. The plans you make now could be a blueprint for your future. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) You might have much to offer a potential employer, but it can all be overwhelmed by too many details. Let the facts about you speak for themselves without any embellishments. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) This is a good week to balance your responsibilities to your work-a-day world with your obligations to the people in your private life. Expect news that could lead to a change in plans. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to nov 21) A changing attitude on the part of a once determined adversary could cause changes down the line. Be prepared to take advantage of an unexpected new opportunity. SAGITTARIUS (nov 22 to Dec 21) You’d be a truly wise Sagittarius to be skeptical about an offer that doesn’t answer all your questions. Even a colleague’s testimonial doesn’t replace facts that aren’t there. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) It’s a good idea to avoid spending on unnecessary purchases this week in order to keep a money reserve against a possible upcoming (but, fortunately, temporary) shortfall. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) More information is what you should demand regarding that workplace situation that recently came to light. Don’t be surprised at who might turn up as one of your supporters. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) You might still be in a “treading water” mode, but by midweek, a shift in your aspect favors taking a more active role in pushing for the changes you feel are necessary. Good luck.

field with a couple Costa Ricans desperate to keep up with him. Or how would LeBron James look as a 6-foot-8 goaltender who would be the most athletic and physically dominating netminder ever? Soccer is most every country’s national sport and their best and most premier athletes all play soccer and
they do it from a very young age. Only the USA’s second-tier athletes - guys who are too small to play football and basketball, and athletes who are under 6-foot tall - play soccer. This doesn’t account for every circumstance and situation but the fact remains that soccer is America’s fifth or six choice of a sport to consume, falling somewhere between hockey and lacrosse. Again, this is not a disrespect to soccer or America, but just a realization why we cannot compete on the
world’s biggest stage for perhaps the world’s most cherished trophy. But if our best athletes played soccer it would be a different story. American soccer is rapidly improving and perhaps over the next couple World Cups we can close the gap on the rest of the world. But until we can field a soccer team that features Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Lesean McCoy and A.J. Green — which are just a few of America’s best athletes — USA will have to settle as being a second-tier soccer country.
ARVADA CITY COUNCIL ON THE RECORD The Arvada City Council voted on the following legislation during its June 16 meeting. 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.
Hometown South development
Council passed, 5-1, the preliminary plans for the Hometown South development at the intersection of West 64th Avenue and McIntyre Street. Council heard a presentation from Century Communities and several neighboring homeowner’s associations around the proposed Hometown
South development. The presentation focused on the changes in the number of proposed housing units, possible building height exception and the traffic flow. While supportive of development, community members had some issues regarding traffic flow, density and the height of the buildings. The development will add 281 single family units to the area, including 189 townhomes with adjacent garages, 74 for-sale condominiums and 18 interconnected live-work units. The request for a height exception was not granted to the developer. Mayor Marc Williams recused himself from the Hometown South public hearing and decision as he had a conflict of interest in the matter.
Council unanimously approved the development of Signature Senior Living Assisted Living. The council heard a presentation from the City Manager, Mark Deven, regarding the parcel of land at 11815 W. 64th Ave. The presentation discussed the proposed development of a senior assisted living and memory care facility. The development will add 134 assisted living and memory care units within one building, and will be open for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The next city council meeting will be at 6 p.m., Monday, June 30, at Arvada City Hall, 8101 Ralston Road. — Compiled by Crystal Anderson]
