Council passes two marijuana ordinances Business moratorium extended and city code revised for Amendment 64

By Sara Van Cleve

svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com Arvada City Council passed two ordinances July 1 regarding the use and sale of marijuana in the city of Arvada.

The first ordinance changed the city code in regards to the possession and use of marijuana for adults 21 and older in conjunction with the passage of Amendment 64 last November.

The ordinance revises the city code to allow the possession of one ounce of marijuana, marijuana accessories and marijuana products by residents 21 years old and older, conforming to the state statues set by constitutional Amendment 64, City Attorney Chris Daly explained during the council meeting.

The revisions also make it illegal to consume marijuana in public and to have an open marijuana container in a motor vehicle. It also prohibits the display or transfer of marijuana, marijuana accessories and marijuana products on city-owned property.

Council passed the ordinance 7-0 with no discussion.

“I think we need to recognize, because of the passage of Amendment 64, we don’t have any choice but to address the situation,” said Mayor Marc Williams.

“I know there are people in Arvada that would like to see a ban on marijuana, but we cannot do that because of the constitutional amendment.

We cannot ban the use of marijuana within our community, but we can set forth reasonable regulations and ordinances that address that.”

Council also passed an ordinance extending the moratorium on marijuana establishments.

The ordinance extends the moratorium preventing the creation of marijuana establishments, private marijuana clubs and similar businesses through March 31, 2014.

The extension allows the city to assess the Department of Revenue’s regulations and monitor the early application of the regulations.

The ordinance also deletes obsolete provisions that “grandfathered” medical marijuana establishments in to the city; the establishment of both medical and recreational marijuana shops and lounges remain illegal in Arvada.

City Council passed the ordinance extending the moratorium 7-0 with no discussion.

Two residents expressed their support of the moratorium as well.

Ralston Ace to close doors Hardware store closing to make way for redevelopment

By Sara Van Cleve

svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com Longtime Arvada Plaza staple Ace Hardware is closing its doors at the end of August.

The owner of the Arvada Plaza, Industrial Realty Group of Torrance, Calif., is to soon begin redeveloping the shopping center area, which is part of the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority’s urban renewal district known as the Arvada Triangle.

“We got a call in January telling us IRG had struck a deal to start the redevelopment process,” said Ralston Ace Hardware owner and President Mike VanderKolk. “We’ve been in the Arvada Urban Renewal trianglearea for about 10 years. We knew at some point something was going to happen.”

The Ralston Ace Hardware was started in 1970 by Clarence Lederhose, VanderKolk’s father-in-law and store manager Kelly Burge’s uncle.

“It’s been a family-run business the entire time,” VanderKolk said.

The first store was across Ralston Road from where the current store is. After several relocations along Ralston, the store went to its current home at 9447 W. 57th Ave. in the Arvada Plaza in 1993. VanderKolk and Burge announced on June 27 that the store would be closing and Ace Hardware began its liquidation of merchandise.

“We’re staying through the end of August, which is the end of our busy season,” VanderKolk said.

VanderKolk said he was involved with the citizen’s advisory committee AURA designated for the area several years ago, and knew the Arvada Plaza would be the first shopping center to be redeveloped at some point.

“The first thing everyone agrees upon is that the shopping center is in need of help and it’s past its prime,” he said.

The proposed redevelopment of the Arvada Plaza includes a Walmart store, which has been met with mixed opinions from the community.

The retailer does not play a factor into the closing of the Ralston Ace Hardware though, VanderKolk said.

“It’s always been coded for a large retailer and it wouldn’t matter who it is,” he said.

Ralston Ace Hardware was opened in 1970 by Clarence Lederhose and has remained a family business since. Photo by Sara Van Cleve “There are a lot of emotions over Walmart, but it wouldn’t matter if it was Walmart or Safeway or some other store, we never planned on this store being able to stay here.”

Though the Ralston Ace Hardware is closing, the family-owned Lakewood store 2563 Kipling St., which opened in 1998, will remain open, and VanderKolk encourages customers to travel 10 minutes to that store so they can continue to receive the same products and service.

Some of Ralston Ace Hardware’s 14 employees will be transferred to the Lake Ridge Ace Hardware.

“The second store gives us the opportunity to minimize the disruption to our employees,” VanderKolk said. “It is an opportunity to help save as many jobs as possible. We’re doing our best to accommodate them.”

Keeping their skilled and knowledgeable employees will also help make opening a new store easier if and when they find a new location, VanderKolk said.

“We’re pursuing another opportunity that, if all goes well, will enable us to have a new second store by the end of the year,” he said.

Though the family is looking to the future, it is still hard to see the Ralston Ace Hardware close, Burge said, who has worked at the Ralston Ace for nearly 30 years.

“Customers here are our friends and we

treat them like family,” Burge said. “We’ve seen kids grow up and they continue to come in as adults. Some older folks have passed away and were close to our hearts and I’ve gone to their funerals. People have given their love to the store and we’ve given our love back to them.”

Leo Warner, a 20-year patron of the store, is one of those customers who has become family and he said the closure was unfortunate.

“This store is the only store in the area that carries a lot of things the big stores don’t carry, like brass, stainless steel, parts that are hard to come by. They fill that niche,” Warner said. “When you come into the store, before you get two feet in, there’s a guy or gal asking how they can help you and they know what they’re talking about.”

Closing the store was a change that had to happen, VanderKolk said, and both he and Burge have one thing to say to their customers: “Thank you.”

“I just want to say thank you to everyone for making our life what it is,” Burge said.

All merchandise in the store is on sale beginning generally around 20 percent off.

The Ralston Ace Hardware will close at the end of August.

City Council is hosting a public hearing regarding the redevelopment plans for the Arvada Plaza at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, July 15, in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 8101 Ralston Road.

Love planted here sprouts in Africa F On an unseasonably cold April day three years ago, snow broke from the sky and chilled business for a Castle Rock garage sale. But high school student Hanna Tenerowicz and her friends in the French Honor Society slapped high fives in jubilation.

They had raised $150, enough to pay for two Congolese girls to stay in school another year and lessen their risk of being married at 13 or 14 in exchange for money to feed their families.

“They were just so excited that we raised enough to sponsor a girl,” said Anne Damanti, Hanna’s French teacher at Castle View High School.

But Hanna, 19, a wisp of a young woman who just completed her freshman year at Wellesley College near Boston, wants to do more.

Two weeks ago she left for the Democratic Republic of Congo to document the lives of schoolgirls, bring back their hopes and ideas for community transformation, and establish connections to help those dreams come true.

“Gender equality makes a difference,” Hanna, whose soft voice conveys conviction with quiet, deep passion, said before leaving. “It’s a domino effect on all kinds of things.”

The story of how this came to be — that a girl so shy Anne often couldn’t hear her speak in class has grown into a young woman daring to change lives — converges on a shared connection to the French lan-

guage and a motivation to help.

It is a story of compassion, determination and, quite simply, courage. Because it takes bravery to stretch beyond the familiar, to push cultural boundaries, to try to make a difference in a world so big and complicated we sometimes wonder whether what we do matters.

Finally, perhaps most importantly, it is a story of empowerment.

And it begins with Sandra Bea, who emigrated to Colorado in 2001 from the French-speaking D.R. Congo to continue her studies in education. A French teacher, she graduated from Metropolitan State University of Denver and today is dean of students at Global Village Academy, a language immersion school in Denver.

The daughter of an engineer of a local mining company in Mbuji-Mayi, the country’s third largest city, Sandra grew up without worries: “I was eating three times a day; I went to school with a car. I grew up really easily. It was not hard like the other

girls are facing right now. We never had any conversation about `You are going to get married in two days because we don’t have the money.’”

It wasn’t until she was 22 and student teaching in her former high school that she understood the reality. Every two weeks, it seemed, another student would leave.

They were, she learned, getting married.

“Why?” she asked.

“Because, Madam, we are not like you,” they told her. “You can afford it. We cannot afford it.”

“That,” Sandra said, “broke my heart.”

So, four years ago, she founded the nonprofit Muanjadi Organization, a women’s empowerment project that helps girls complete their high school education and avoid early arranged marriages.

“For many parents in the Congo, marrying off their daughters constitutes a source of revenue in a country where people live with less than $1 a day with a GDP per capita of $300,” Sandra writes on the organization’s website.

Through fundraising and donations, the organization — whose name means Brave Woman — provides tuition and supplies for girls in seventh through 12th grades at the same school Sandra attended.

Cost for one girl for one year of high school: $75.

Cost for one year of college: $350.

Anne, originally from Belgium, met Sandra and learned about Muanjadi at a state world language conference three years ago.

She brought the idea back to her French Honor Society, which was looking for a community service project.

Students learned how most girls eat just one meal a day and how the school has no water or electricity. They compared

By G the cost of one year of high school to what gwal teens here might spend on fancy jeans or a Starbucks coffee habit. “That’s not a lot to Th have the freedom to actually go to school ty th and try to be something,” Anne said.

In That, Hanna said, coupled with the have specter of forced marriage, “was a pretty “A powerful thing to learn about.” fires Last school year, Muanjadi sponsored quick 100 girls, 11 of them thanks to Castle View. partm The honor society, which has correspondTh ed with the girls through letters, phone organ and Skype, also is sponsoring a student in ties college — one of the girls it began sponsorcoun ing in high school three years ago. Other Th organization sponsors include Kent Denagen ver Academy, Metro State, Colorado State whic University, a lawyers’ organization and many individuals and families.

But Hanna hopes to take the program one step further.

Her new project is Portrait of a Brave Woman. Accompanied by Sandra, she has spent the past two weeks interviewing — in French — and filming girls at the school about their lives, but also about their ideas to implement change in their communities.

Fire season brings heat to state Six fires in less than a month

By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com Things are getting hot in Jefferson County this fire season.

In the last four weeks, six named fires have occurred within the county’s borders.

“And I’d say we’ve lost count of the small fires that went unnamed because they were quickly extinguished,” Jeffco Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Jacki Kelley.

The Jeffco Sheriff’s Department handles organization, evacuation and security duties for all fires within unincorporated county land.

The sheriff’s department was the lead agency on the Bluebell Fire last month, which burned 10 acres in the Evergreen

area, forcing the evacuation of hundreds.

“In the grand scale of fires, it was pretty small. But for the people affected, they definitely felt it was a major event,” Kelley said.

So far, Jeffco residents have been spared the level of fire devastation experienced by the Black Forest Fire victims near Colorado Springs this year, or the Lower North Fork Fire last year.

-The latter fire claimed three lives, 23 structures and charred more than 1,400 acres of Jefferson County.

Still, Sheriff Ted Mink warns that the dry, hot weather being seen along the Front Range is similar to what was seen last year.

At the end of June, he announced a fire ban for all land to the west of State Highway 93 and C-470.

Kelley said the area would need days of considerable rain to defuse the level of fire danger.

Beyond the potential loss of life and property, all these fires have other effects,

straining law enforcement resources and costing county taxpayers.

Only five deputies are typically on patrol in the mountain regions of the county.

“If we’ve got two of them chasing fire calls, that spreads us pretty thin,” Mink said, adding that he had authorized some overtime for patrollers to do nothing but respond quickly to reports of potential wildfires.

Then there is the cost of managing those fires that cannot be put out immediately.

“So far the Bluebell is going to cost the county, since we’re not getting state reimbursement, about $250,000,” Mink said.

A busy fire season can easily outstrip the funding budgeted into the sheriff’s department at the beginning of the year.

Mink said he hopes the county will be reimbursed for at least a portion of the $200,000 it spent to support fighting the Lime Gulch Fire.

“We don’t worry about the money at the

Longtime Arvada resident Eileen Figliolino has been dancing for 73 years, and, even with a prosthetic leg, she doesn’t show any of stopping anytime soon.

Figliolino, 76, began singing and dancing when she was 3 years old in her hometown of Alliance, Ohio.

Right out of high school she joined the

dancing group “The Lucky Girls” and performed consistently for a year.

Figliolino, also a talented singer, then spent seven years as the lead vocalist on the Denny Sullivan Television Show in Syracuse, N.Y. before touring with the Clyde McCoy Orchestra as a vocalist.

“They could use a singer and that’s where I met my husband, Andy,” she said. “We met in Syracuse when he was with Clyde McCoy, so I took a leave of absence for two months. Since Clyde needed a singer, I ended up leaving the station to join them.”

Andy and Eileen married in 1967 and moved to Arvada, where they have made their home ever since.

For a few years Andy and Eileen had their own band called the Happy Medium as they raised their young daughter, Nicole.

As a very young child Nicole had multiple open heart surgeries, making it difficult for her to perform strenuous activities. However, Eileen’s talent helped Nicole exercise and have fun.

In 1971, she began teaching dance lessons in her home - with Nicole and other neighborhood children as her students.

From 1971-75, Figliolino taught out of her home. In 1975, with enrollment booming, she opened her own dance Dancer continues on Page 5

Olde Town festival helps homes for Habitat ‘Blues n BBQ’ to feature 18 bands, vendors in support of nonprofit

By Sara Van Cleve

svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com Music and barbecue are returning to Olde Town this summer to support Habitat for Humanity.

The Duke Street Kings’ 16th annual Blues N BBQ Festival will be noon to 8 p.m.

Sunday, July 14, on Grandview Avenue between Olde Wadsworth Boulevard and Upham Street.

The festival features 18 bands that donate their time and talent to the festival in support of the Habitat for Humanity as well as a variety of food vendors, many of which are local, who serve fresh barbecue.

Ranger Miller, the lead singer of the Duke Street Kings, came up with the idea to start the festival and founded the Blues and BBQ For Better Housing foundation after he participated in a build years ago.

“I’m an airline pilot and when I first started at United I did work at Habitat for Humanity,” Miller said. “I was really impressed. It was really cool. I have done a lot of volunteer work, and a lot of the time you feel like you didn’t make much of a difference. That day at Habitat was awesome.

I met the people who got the house and worked side by side with them. It made a big impression.”

Around the same time, the Duke Street Kings got back together after a 15-year hiatus.

“We were lining up cool stuff to play and we thought ‘Let’s do something for them.

Let’s do a fundraiser,” Miller said.

The first year, the Duke Street Kings played and raised $300 for Habitat for Humanity.

Their sixth year they moved to the D Note, 7519 Grandview Ave. in Olde Town and raised about $9,500.

In 2009, the Duke Street Kings took the fun to the streets, and have hosted street festivals with numerous bands since. Last year the festival raised $20,000 for Habitat for Humanity.

This year’s goal is to raise $25,000 to $30,000 for Habitat.

An average house costs about $80,000 for Habitat to build, meaning the festival could help build about a one-third of a house, Miller said.

“At the beginning, I just loved Habitat,”

studio and hired other teachers to help her teach ballet, jazz, tap and other dance forms.

“I’ve probably taught about 3,000 students,” Figliolino said. “I just love teaching.

I’ll have students send me notes years later, and it’s so special. I truly enjoy doing it.”

Figliolino owned her dance studio until 2006, when she closed it and began teaching solely tap at the Enterprise Grange, 7203 Simms St. In 1985, though, Figliolino faced a challenge in her dancing career when she was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis in her joints.

“I was giving a student a private lesson before a performance and I was determined to finish the routine,” she said. “I finished the routine on my hands and knees.”

Figliolino has since had several joint replacements and four ankle fusions, where the arthritis hit her worse. Though she has danced nearly her entire life, she said her passion didn’t contribute as much as genetics; her mother, sister and grandmother all had arthritis of some kind.

In 2009, Figliolino went in for her second ankle fusion on her left ankle; after the surgery, doctors told her she had no blood flow in the lower half of her left leg and it would have to be amputated.

Despite the amputation, Figliolino kept dancing.

She faced complications with her initial prosthetic, but Innovative Prosthetic and

7 Deadly Mistakes That Will Cost You Thousands When You Sell Your Home This Summer Jefferson County—A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeowners make when selling their home and a 9 Step System that can help sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.

This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s market. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of homesellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and - worse financially disadvantaged when they put their homes on the market.

As the report uncovers, most home-

Orthotic Professionals worked with her to fit her with a vacuum-pressured prosthetic that could help keep her teaching and tapping.

Figliolino said one thing has kept her dancing with the years and through adversity - her love of dance.

“I’ve been blessed to be able to do what I love to do,” she said. “Dance is a gift. I’ve always loved to tap dance and I want to give as much to the kids as I can.”

The main class Figliolino teaches now, though, has some non-traditional students though.

Her tap class, the Time Steppers, is actually comprised of adults, many of whom are mothers of her former students. The Time Steppers competed in a Las Vegas competition last year and took the gold medal.

The Time Steppers practice at 6 p.m.

Tuesdays at the Enterprise Grange.

Figliolino also teaches private lessons.

Figliolino also continues to teach vocal lessons and vocal stage production Wednesdays at the Golden Recreation Center, 1470 10th St. For more information on her vocal classes, call 303-384-8100.

“Teaching is wonderful,” she said. “I think I was meant to be a teacher.”

Figliolino has also developed a passion for antique jewelry. She collects and sells antique jewelry and has a permanent booth at Thriftiques Antique Mall, 9860 W. 59th Pl. in Arvada.

One thing remains the most important to her though - family, both hers and the one she has built through dance.

“I’m doing great and enjoying life,” she said. “People are the most important thing. I don’t know what I would do without them.”

n Pursuingh appiness,

out my back door

City

their dates nger, ct 1.

During last week’s festivities to Cookcelebrate our nation’s independence, elec-I spent some time reflecting on our haveunalienable rights — granted by our eat. Constitution — to life, liberty, and the haspursuit of happiness. elec- Life and liberty were pretty easy to define. But what about happiness? four-Is it found through family, career, uncilservice, travel, lifelong learning? Is my concept of happiness different than yours?

How, and where, do I pursue my happiness?

So I decided to look for what makes me happy. In the process, I discovered that my own pursuit of happiness starts right here, right outside my back door, actually. Here are few of may favorites: 1) Visiting Clear Creek where it crosses Kipling Street. In addition to the happy mallards usually cooling off in the little pond on the east side of Kipling, I recently saw a heron standing stately and elegant in the reeds, a glimpse of the magical in an ordinary setting.

2) Riding the Ralston Creek Trail.

On my bike, I glide from shaded stream banks and wooden bridges to residential neighborhoods along West Woods Golf Club to stretches of wildlife habitat out to the reservoir.

(Up at the top, I also enjoy the sun

with the occasional snake or lizard.)

From where I live, I can ride a 16-mile picturesque round trip up and over the reservoir.

3) Enjoying any patio, anywhere. A view of the mountains, a view of the city, a view of my neighbor’s cookout … I can pursue happiness on a patio and simply bask in the sun, the shade, the sheer delight of something cool to drink and someplace cool to hang out.

4) Taking in Red Rocks, again. Just named the best outdoor music venue in the U.S. by Rolling Stone magazine, Red Rocks is more than an unbeatable place to attend a concert. On my recent visit to the amphitheater — in addition to the familiar-but-alwaysbreathtaking scenic beauty — the sight of dozens (maybe hundreds) of early-morning zealots running the stairs, doing push-ups down the seats, or jumping squats up the seats was as dizzying to me as the view.

5) Looking out from Lookout Mountain. Or looking down from Lookout Mountain. It’s always exhilarating, especially if I’ve just slogged my way up through Chimney Gulch.

(I think I’ll hitch a ride with my bike to the top next time and just enjoy the mountain biking downhill.)

My most recent car trip up Lookout Mountain was with a young friend from the Czech Republic who had never been there. It was exceptionally fun to see her surprise and wonder as we wound around to the top. We stopped a couple of times for photos of the city to the east and the mountains to the west.

On our way down, as we slowed for a turn, we saw the doe. And she saw us. A road cyclist and another car stopped. In this quiet stretch of time, even in this urban-accessible place, there was a subtle communion.

Our Constitution guarantees our right to pursue that which makes us happy, and this particular moment will always remain a piece of my own personal pursuit of happiness.

ARVADA CITY COUNCIL ON THE RECORD City Council voted on the following items during a regular business meeting on Monday, July 1. Council members in attendance were Mayor Marc Williams; Mayor Pro Tem Rachel Zenzinger, District 1; Councilman Mark McGoff, District 2; Councilwoman Shelley Cook, District 3; Councilman Bob Dyer, District 4; Councilmen At-Large Bob Fifer and Don Allard.

$205,000 or for up to seven years.

The agreement also requires construction begin by March 1, 2014 and the café be open by Sept. 1, 2014 or Breads of the World will be penalized $100 per day late.

With the agreement passing 7-0, Breads of the World can now begin the development process by submitting plans to the city.

Council approved the Preliminary Development Plan and Preliminary Plat for the neighborhood with a vote of 6-1 with Dyer voting against.

The PDP proposed 24 single-family homes to be built on a 4.5 space.

Residents expressed concerns about the loss of trees and the setback of the homes in relation to the existing neighborhood.

Council passed the plans with the condition that the builder be responsible to replace the trees with trees of the same size and make right any other damage done as well as move the setback of four homes by five feet each to maintain the current residents’ privacy.

Dyer voted against the plans because the PDP proposed two cul-desacs for the neighborhood that enter from W. 64th Place for one and from Coors Street for the other and do not meet at any point.

“I’m voting against this motion primarily because I’m concerned that it’s turned into two neighborhoods instead of one,” Dyer said.

The next City Council meeting is at 6 p.m. Monday, July 15 in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 8101 Ralston Road.

pril 26th from Noon to 3pm Council approves incentive agreement for new Panera Bread Bakery

Council unanimously approved a development incentive agreement with franchisee and developer Breads of the World to begin the process of building a Panera Bread bakery-café at W. 64th Avenue and Yank Street.

The incentive agreement is a sales tax shareback between the developer and city to assist with several challenges at the site, including soil issues and slopes.

Breads of the World is responsible for all of the upfront costs and the city will use half of its portion of the sales tax from the site, or 1.5 percent, to reimburse Breads of the World for

She plans to share the mini-documentaries with artists who will be encouraged to create paintings about a particular girl whose story connects with them.

Proceeds from the sale of those paintings will go toward the girls’ personal and community goals, such as becoming a nurse or training midwives to decrease the high infant mortality rate.

The objectives are several: to empower Congolese girls, improve their communities and create meaningful cross-cultural connections with Western artists and buyers.

Council reappoints three members to Arts Council

With a vote of 7-0, City Council reappointed three members to the Arvada Council for the Arts and Humanities. Tim Geisler, Gregory Tan and Shannon Voirol were reappointed to the Arts Council each for a three-year term and will serve through April 30, 2016.

in Mbuji-Mayi,” Hanna, also an artist, said. And “I hope the project empowers the girls themselves by helping them to personally make a difference.”

Her dream is unquestionably big.

But, Anne said, “There is nothing, anymore, that she can’t do.”

Hanna’s visit, Sandra said, is the concrete realization of what dreams and hard work can accomplish. And having someone their age talk to them and share ideas with them is inspirational: “You don’t know me, but you came to give me a chance to become someone.”

Which is exactly what Hanna wanted to do after reading “Half the Sky,” a book about the oppression of women and girls in the developing world.

“It really changed my outlook on the world,” she said. “I was really interested in doing whatever I could to make a difference.”

Hanna returns this week with her videos and interviews and dream.

“I’m definitely prepared for this to change my life,” she said before leaving.

Without a doubt, it will. But, in a school half a world away, girls are surely changed, too, because a stranger from a different life cared enough to learn about theirs.

That’s empowerment. The kind that makes a difference.

opinions / yours and ours

Not only a time to vote, consider serving OK, it sounds hokey, but we believe it.

The city council and school board elections coming up this fall — always on the uneven years — feature democracy at its best.

These nonpartisan races basically involve folks who want to make a difference, and the fact that most of these positions involve little or no compensation is evidence enough.

We admire the people in this group of roughly 1,500 elected officials in Colorado because public service is one of the highest callings. And as this annual event shapes up, we like to see candidates in all races. Uncontested races simply don’t provide the choices voters should have or the valuable discourse that comes from competition.

We encourage citizens who observe vacant races in their districts and cities

our view to take a look in the mirror, think about stepping up, or think about asking someone else to step up.

Some of the best elected officials are the ones who were recognized by others for their skills, energy and insights and then urged to run. When three or four people think a neighbor has a lot to offer, it’s time to make a phone call or knock on a door. Be bold.

For those who run, we have a few friendly reminders. The odd years are the nonpartisan years. By state law, city council, school board and special

question of the week

Will Broncos win the Super Bowl?

The Denver Broncos suffered an unexpected early playoff exit by a Baltimore Ravens team last season. With the start of training camp just weeks away, we asked readers if the loss and off-season moves will catapult them to a Super Bowl championship, similar to the 1996 and 1997 seasons.

Yes, this is the Broncos’ year.

They needed to go through that kind of heartbreak to set them up for this season and next.

They might win the next two Super Bowls!

Brock Wisne

Yes, I think we are on the verge of winning a Super Bowl.

Sometimes a team has to go through some adversity before it makes it to the mountain top.

Gerald Wisne

Health will be a big issue. The Broncos were very lucky to have stayed so healthy last season.

If the core can stay healthy, there is not a team that can stop these Broncos.

Marcus Duncan

It’s tough to say.

They have the team around Peyton Manning, but we know firsthand (as Broncos fans) it is hard to get over the hump and win a Super Bowl.

I am cautiously optimistic.

districts are nonpartisan. Although it is handy to team with their parties, we urge candidates to honor the nonpartisan framework, and we urge voters to assess candidates by looking at their character, skills and drive — not party affiliation.

The late statesman Ted Strickland of Adams County once told us that the most important asset of an elected official is an open mind. To that point we do like candidates who work hard to keep learning and stay close to the pulse of a community — continually checking in with constituents and not making assumptions.

And to the voters, remember to look for balance, look at your boards and council and think about what is missing. What is needed — an attorney, an engineer, a shop owner? And — not to discriminate but to diversify — if all the

members of the board have the same first digit in their ages, maybe older or younger representatives would improve the representative mix.

Sam Mamet, longtime executive director of the Colorado Municipal League, which interacts with 60-70 cities around the state, often emphasizes how rewarding public service is and tells those who serve that they will look back and feel good about at least one thing they had a hand in — perhaps nobody will remember what you did, but “you’ll know” he says. And of course the act of simply contributing — recognized or not — is reward for the soul.

For the most part, candidates in school board and city council races simply want to do something to better their communities. That’s good stuff. Be part of it one way or the other.

New tech engulfs thread of cultural continuity Let’s play a little game: I’m going to quote a famous line, and you’re going to try to remember what it was from. Ready?

“Luke, I am your father.”

Okay, that’s an easy one. How about: “Fly, my pretties, Fly!!”

Getting a little harder, huh? Okay, let’s try this one on for size: “With malice toward none, with charity for all ... “ Still with me? Actually, I’m guessing there’s an interesting split of readers here: everybody over the age of about 55 probably knew the answer to all three; people between 30 and 55 probably knew the first two; and, likely, anyone under 30 has very little idea where the last two come from.

Of course, the first one was easy: “Star Wars,” or, to be more accurate, “The Empire Strikes Back.” The second one, familiar to many, is from “The Wizard of Oz.” Weirdly, I don’t think my own children have ever seen that movie, though I reference it here.

Growing up, we watched it once a year — it was like an event in our house the night it came on.

But I haven’t seen it on television in forever, and I know I’ve never rented it for my children to watch.

I was thinking about this the other day in the context of cultural continuity. There are many things that are second nature, part of the shared wisdom, of my generation and older that are not getting passed down to our children. As trivial as “Fly my pretties” is by itself, it is symptomatic of a growing chasm between generations. While there’s always been, and will always be, differences between generations, I think the separation between the generations of rotary phoneusers and of tweeters is wider than it’s ever been, which makes it difficult to maintain and pass on what holds us together.

And, while “Oz” probably doesn’t matter, the last quote matters very much. Last week I spent all of my Facebook time on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday posting narrative of the Battle of Gettysburg, in honor of the

150th anniversary of that great battle. And it occurred to me that I only know Gettysburg because I chose to learn about it well after my formal education had ended; in fact, in 22 years of formal schooling, I had never once actually studied the Civil War, much less that one, pivotal battle.

And, it turns out, that is true of most of my Facebook friends, and most people my age. We studied all about the horrible way America treated the American Indians after the Civil War, but we never learned the names Lee, Grant, Meade, Longstreet, or Chamberlain. Which also means that we never learned about how Lincoln tried to heal a nation with that famous quote from his second inaugural.

Our cultural heritage is made up of a diverse body of knowledge which can only be preserved if we choose to pass it on. Likewise, that common heritage gives us one small thread which can link the generations and give the tapestry of American life a coherence that it sometimes lacks.

So, in the wake of celebrating July Fourth, let’s try to find ways to celebrate our common history — not just the bright colors of the tapestry, but the fine stitching that holds it together.

Rally calls for immigration reform Activists lean on GOP to back bill that passed Senate

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A group of immigration activists rallied in Denver on July 2 to call on Colorado’s Republican U.S. representatives to support an immigration-reform bill that recently passed the Senate.

“We are calling on our Republican congressional delegation leaders to step up, to exercise leadership, to show bipartisan willingness, to follow the will of the people of Colorado,” said Julien Ross of the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, during a rally that was held outside of Denver’s Republican Party headquarters.

The group waved Americans flags and held signs that signaled its desire for immigration reform at the federal level.

Immigration reform is high on President Obama’s second-term priority list, but it’s an effort that faces an unknown future in the Republican-controlled House.

The bill — which passed the Democratic-controlled Senate by a 68-32 vote on June 27 — overhauls immigration laws by allowing a pathway to citizenship for about 11 million undocumented workers. It also puts provisions in place that strengthen border security.

Many House Republicans have expressed concern over security issues in the bill, and some party members are opposed to a bill that they believe grants amnesty for those living here illegally.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has said through national media outlets

Immigration activists rally outside Denver’s Republican Party headquarters on July 2 in support of an immigration reform bill that is making its way through Congress. Photo by Vic Vela that he will not bring the bill up for a vote if the majority Republicans in his caucus do not support it.

The purpose of the Denver rally, which was organized by Coloradans for Citizenship Now, was to put pressure on Colorado’s four House Republicans — Reps. Mike Coffman, Doug Lamborn, Cory Gardner and Scott Tipton — to support the Senate bill.

Through a statement issued after the rally, Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter joined rally organizers in calling on House Republicans to pass immigration reform, saying that by allowing un-

documented persons a pathway to citizenship it would “lead to increased job growth and a stronger economy.”

“I hope House Republican leadership will work with Democrats in a bipartisan way to protect our borders and ensure those who are working hard, paying taxes, getting an education, learning English and not committing crimes are able to achieve their American Dream as a

citizen of our country,” Perlmutter said.

Colorado House Republicans are concerned that the Senate bill doesn’t go far enough in strengthening border security. Coffman said in a statement that in 1986, when Congress passed a major immigration reform bill, the promises made “on enforcement and border security were not promises kept.”

“I will look for solutions in the House that will provide for the reforms necessary to not only secure our borders but to verify that they remain secure,” Coffman said in the statement.

Coffman spokesman Dustin Zvonek did not wish to comment beyond what was in the statement.

Rally speakers brought up Coffman’s upcoming re-election race, a contest that surely will receive national attention.

“Latinos came out in record numbers in the last election,” said Olivia Mendoza of the Colorado Latino Forum. “This is just the beginning.”

Ezequiel Ramirez, 19, of Highlands Ranch, voted for the first time last year, and is one of Coffman’s constituents.

Though he was born in the U.S., his parents were not.

“The message we want to get across is that this is potentially going to help out a lot of people,” Ramirez said.

“It’s going to help us become a better country. There’s a lot of people counting on (Coffman) and it’s really important for him to put his vote into this.

Asked by reporters how he’d characterize Coffman’s re-election chances if he does not support the bill, Ramirez said, “Best of luck.”

Laura Jean Carver died on July 3, 2013 at the home of her son under the care of Lutheran Hospice.

She was 88. She was born on September 8, 1924 in Warren, Ohio, the second child and only daughter of Ward and Marie. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Zoology from Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio, and her nursing degree at St. Lukes School of Nursing in Cleveland in 1947.

During the summer of 1949, she met Harold R. Carver, a graduate student in architecture, at a BaptistMethodist youth group picnic in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They married on June 24, 1950 and moved to Denver. In 1953, they welcomed their daughter, Nancy Marie, and in 1955, they welcomed their son, Donald Ward. They moved to Arvada in 1955, where Harold established his architectural practice.

Laura Jean was a homemaker and worked side-by-side with Harold in his architectural practice.

During the 1980’s, she worked at Head Ski and Petro Lewis Corporation. She enjoyed sewing and was active in P.E.O. Chapter ET for many years. She loved music and was an accomplished pianist who excelled at accompanying choral groups and playing piano duets.

She was the first accompanist for the Arvada Center Chorale and founded and led the hand bell choir at Arvada United Methodist Church for several years. She loved playing bridge and belonged to several bridge groups in Arvada. After her

Private Party

husband’s death in 1980, Laura Jean served on the Board of Directors of the Arvada Cemetery.

Laura Jean’s legacy is her family.

When her daughter divorced in 1991, Laura Jean lent her support to help raise two grandchildren.

She thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her two grown children and their spouses, as well as four grandchildren, and three greatgrandsons. She will be remembered for her devotion to her family and her quirky sense of humor.

Laura Jean will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Laura Jean is survived by her daughter, Nancy Wade (Chuck), Boulder, and her son, Don Carver (Linda), Genesee; four grandchildren: Aaron Carver (Kim), Arvada; Keith Norris (Emily), Golden; Laura Coe (Chris), Arvada; and Kate Norris, Lakewood; as well as three great-grandsons: Logan Carver, Brookes Norris and Easton Norris; three nieces and one nephew.

She was predeceased by her parents, her husband, Harold, and her brother, Alfred.

A celebration of life will be held at Arvada United Methodist Church, 6750 Carr Street, Arvada, on Saturday, July 20, at 10:00 a.m.

Memorial donations may be made to AUMC Bell Choir fund for the purchase of music. The family would like to express heartfelt gratitude to Laura Jean’s caregivers for their devotion to her during the past year.

REAL ESTATE CAREERS MARKETPLACE SERVICE DIRECTORY

Rightsizing your next home O

ne of today’s real estate trends is appropriately named “rightsizing.” This happens when an existing home owner wants to rightsize their housing needs in terms of space, upkeep and mortgage costs.

Typically, Empty Nesters or buyers in retirement are looking to rightsize, but this trend applies to anyone looking to buy their next home.One of the ways current students or even recent graduates can make themselves more attractive to prospective employers is to find the right internship. Internships are not always easy to get, and many of them don’t pay. But students who find the right internship often look back and recognize that their internship was their first step toward a rewarding career, and a step that provided valuable insight into their chosen field. To find the right internship, consider the following tips.

Whether you are interested in living in a traditional neighborhood or a master-planned community full of amenities, with these simple steps you will be able to find the rightsized home to fit your needs.

SPACE For the first time in many years, smaller homes have become much more dominant in the marketplace.

For many, the right fitting home is smaller than ever before. The assump-

tion is that only Empty Nesters or retired adults would welcome less space, but today’s families are discovering the appeal of smaller homes.

Less space means less to maintain inside and out, providing more time to enjoy the home and less time cleaning. Smaller homes also can help to rightsize costs, from the energy bill to the mortgage, which is always an attractive feature. Looking at the bigger picture, a smaller home carries a reduced carbon footprint and adds to the environmental appeal of such a decision.

UPKEEP For some, the most important home amenity is maintenance or the lack thereof. A home within a masterplanned community, for example, appeals to those who have reached a point in their lives where they want to spend less time taking care of a home and more time enjoying their home.

Generally designed to provide lowmaintenance properties, these communities allow for a lock-and-leave lifestyle, meaning if the homeowner wants to leave for a long weekend or an extended holiday, they simply lock their home and leave without needing to arrange to have the grass cut and watered, or snow shoveled from the sidewalk. Even if they aren’t traveling, these homeowners can also enjoy

being at home and not having those tasks on their to-do list, ever thanks to the maintenance provided by the Home Owner’s Association (HOA).

COST When looking for a home, cost is oftentimes the leading factor in any search. Cost varies greatly depending on the age and size of a home, the surrounding community and a number of other factors that figure into the value of a home. When looking for your next home, make sure to consider what matters most to you – style of home, amenities, walkability, etc. – knowing the rightsize cost will affect which elements are possible.

One way to rightsize your cost, yet still afford many of the community features you want, is to look in a neighborhood or master-planned community that offers multiple housing types. When a mixture of housing types is available – single-family, patio home or other style – it is much more reasonable to expect to find the rightsized mortgage to fit your financial needs. And, when you bring together home styles that appeal to everyone from young professionals and growing families, to Empty Nesters and active adults, a vibrant community is the result.

As you head out to find your next home, don’t think of it as fitting in

with the Jones’, but rightsizing with your needs. After all, the Jones’ won’t be living there, so you shouldn’t buy a home with their needs in mind. ■

Who wants to try out for ‘Millionaire’?

‘Curtains’ seeks whodunnit Arvada Center musical brings variety to stage

AvidGolfer reaches 100

By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com

A

murder mystery. A hardened detective. A musical. A broadway cast. A modern fairy tale.

“Curtains,” the Arvada Center’s summer musical, has a bit of everything for everybody.

The show — with music and lyrics from John Kander and Fed Ebb (“Cabaret” and “Chicago”) — will play at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., until July 28. Performances will be Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday at 1 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m.

“There’s all these great different genres in the show — westerns, ‘60s musicals, romances — that we get to IF YOU GO bring out,” said directer Gavin Mayer.

WHAT: “Curtains” “It gives a really interesting perspective on all these different genres.”

WHERE: Arvada Center The story of “Curtains” takes place 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., in 1959 at an old colonial theater in Arvada Boston, where it’s opening night for the broadway-bound cast of “Robin’ WHEN: Through July 28 Hood of the Old West.”

Tuesday - Saturday - 7:30 p.m.

Unfortunately the star of the show has been murdered, and it’s up to Wednesday - 1 p.m.

Lieutenant Frank Cioffi to suss out the Saturday - Sunday - 2 p.m. perpetrator of the crime.

Cioffi — who himself is a fan of COST: $36 - $76 the theater — has no shortage of susINFORMATION: 720-898pects from the company — there’s the 7200 or www.arvadacenter. sharp-tongued producer, a recently org divorced songwriting team, a pompous British director, or the sweet understudy.

While Mayer said the “whodunnit” aspect of the play is the story’s driving force, there’s a lot of fun to be had in looking at its different elements.

He said he wanted the “Robin Hood” show within the show to feel real, and so he and the creative team at the center researched how musicals were produced in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s.

“The goal for us was to create to real shows in one — ‘Curtains’ and ‘Robin Hood,’” Mayer said. “We want people to get just as lost in the plot of ‘Robin Hood’ as anything else.”

Close to home

“Curtains” is a sort of homecoming for one of the stars, Erica Sweany, who plays Niki Harris, the understudy of the dead actress.

Sweany is an Arvada native, who went to Pomona High School, where Mayer was her drama teacher. She currently lives and works in New York City, but she’s back home for the summer while staring in “Curtains.”

Who wants to be a millionaire? Now, you can be, as the syndicated game show will audition Denverites on July 12, at the Seawell Ballroom at the Denver Performing Arts Complex.

“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” auditions will include a timed multiple choice test and, for those people who pass, an interview with one of the show’s producers.

Auditioners will be seen on a firstcome, first-served basis and producers will audition as many people as they can.

Participants must be at least 18 years of age, a U.S. resident and meet all eligibility requirements. Rules and times can be found on “Millionaire’s” website at www. millionairetv.com.

A new season of “Millionaire” will debut at 2 p.m. Sept. 2, on KMGH-Channel 7 with new host Cedric the Entertainer.

Jim Poulos Investigator Lt. Frank Cioffi (Jim Poulos) searches for a murderer amongst a Broadway cast that includes understudy Niki Harris (Erica Sweany) in the Arvada Center’s production of “Curtains.” Top, Georgia Hendricks (Lauren Shealy) and Aaron Fox (Jeffrey Roark) are two of the suspects in a Broadway murder mystery in “Curtains” at the Arvada Center. Courtesy photos “My agent got me any audition, and I was so excited when I heard that Gavin was the director of the show,” she said. “It’s great to be back here in Colorado — it’s really easy and comfortable place to be.”

She also said she remembers seeing productions at the Arvada Center and going to summer theater camps that the center hosted as well, so it’s been a thrill to be back.

Sweany said she has had a great time getting lost in all the different genres in the play, and while it might not be a particularly well-known work, it’s a kind of hidden gem.

“The play really works well here — it’s charming, funny and has a lot of heart,” she said.

“There is a lot to see, and a lot to fall in love with.”

Colorado AvidGolfer is celebrating a 100th milestone.

Not that the local magazine is becoming a centenarian — it still has a few years to go before hitting that drive — rather CAG is publishing its 100th issue with the July edition, on newsstands and online (www.coloradoavidgolfer.com) this week.

Editor Jon Rizzi realized a couple of months ago that the magazine was approaching its 100th edition.

“It’s been a really great run so far,” he said.

To celebrate CAG No. 100, the pages pay homage to past covers along with its current cover guy Billy Casper, whose company recently took over management of The Golf Club at Ravenna in Douglas County’s Waterton Canyon area.

Other big names whose mugs have graced the coveted CAG cover include: Todd Helton (first cover), John Elway (twice), Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Arnold Palmer, Jill McGill, Amelia Earhart (last month), Amy Van Dyken, John Lynch, Terrell Davis, Don Cheadle, Kevin Costner, David Duval, Tom Weiskopf and on and on.

But Rizzi doesn’t let the fairway grass grow under his feet. He’s set his sights on Broncos QB Peyton Manning for a future cover.

“He’s only been here for a year, so we’re still working on that,” Rizzi said.

After celebrating the biggest issue ever in 2006 just before The International held its last tournament at Castle Pines, CAG, along with the rest of the country, figuratively boarded up the windows to brace against the recession’s storm.

“We weathered the recession, which hit the golf business and publishing business very hard,” Rizzi said. “We kept our hand firmly on the tiller and navigated the waters. We pulled back from nine issues to eight issues a year, which made us a stronger publication.”

Rizzi, employee No. 1, was supported by co-captain and publisher Allen Walters, employee No. 2 in the company majority owned by The Baker brothers — Dick, Don and Ray. Parker continues on Page 19

Tips for summer reading progress Summer is a difficult time to have regular family routines. However, including reading every day can help children stay on track with their language and reading skills.

For ways to help children learn see grandparentsteachtoo.org and wnmufm.org pod casts “Learning Through the Seasons.”

identify some on a page. Ask children questions about the story (who, what, when, where, why and how) to check for comprehension. Read favorite books many times until children can pretend to read the book themselves. Perhaps they can retell some of it. Encourage children to dress up like the characters and act it out.

Preschool Children

Children need three million words from adults before kindergarten.

That seems like a staggering amount unless this time is scheduled every day as quiet and active activity times that include talking together. Taking neighborhood walks or attending a city attraction is a good time to discuss what children are experiencing.

Grandparents can help build that vocabulary storehouse by planning interesting visits around town that parents may not be able to arrange.

Talk during the visit and print their words on paper. Perhaps take pictures and

Avoid Summer Slide make a storybook they can “read.” This helps children get the feel of reading and be praised for it.

Library visits are critical during the summer. Bring home a variety of fiction and nonfiction books, and attend library programs. Then sit in a cozy spot, read with good expression and discuss the story. Connect relaxation and resting with reading a book.

As your children are learning letters and beginning sounds, occasionally ask them to

Once children are in first grade, it is very important to practice reading every day.

Children can practice to avoid a summer slide backward that requires reteaching in the fall while other students zoom ahead.

Summer, after all, is one third as long as a school year.

Ten to 20 minutes reading out loud every day makes a difference.

There is a rule of five to help choose books. If your children put a finger on five or more words that they don’t know on a typical page, they probably need help read-

ing the book. It doesn’t mean they shouldn’t choose it, just that they will need help and tire easily.

Perhaps take turns reading paragraphs.

Read at the same time so they mimic your good expression. If they don’t know a word, tell them after giving them time to think.

Watch for correct reading of punctuation.

Stop and lower pitch for periods at the end of sentences. Raise pitch at question marks.

Pause at commas and sound excited at exclamation marks. Expression helps comprehension.

Look for books with reading levels and chapter books like “ The Magic Tree House” series. Your librarians will help. Keep track of reading minutes and give rewards, including special activities or privileges with you.

Police Briefs Man protests price of meal, throws rock at restaurant’s window

There was no damage to the building.

No action was taken against the man.

8:52 p.m. Wednesday, June 12, area of W. 64th Avenue and Ward Road A man reportedly threw a rock at a restaurant window after arguing with the manager about the price of his food.

The suspect, a white man in his 50s or 60s and about 5-feet-8-inches to 5-feet10-inches with grey hair, told his waiter that he was upset and wanted to speak to a manager about his meal, which cost about $13.75.

When the manager went over to him and asked how everything was, the man started cussing him out, saying he’d pay whatever he wanted to pay.

After the manager explained the restaurant’s pricing, the man demanded the owner’s phone number, which the manager refused to give him. The man then said “I make the rules, and I make the prices.”

The man eventually paid his bill with a $20 bill. When the manager gave him his change, the man grabbed for his change and grabbed his hand and forearm in an aggressive way. The manager was not injured.

The manager told the man to never come back to the restaurant, as which point the man was walking out of the breezeway door. The then turned around and cocked his fist as if he was going to hit the manager, but then left the building.

After getting in his grey truck, the manager heard a loud crash at the front of the store, which the manager believed to be a rock being thrown against the window.

Man files police report after woman forges check

2:12 p.m. Saturday, June 15, police report made at Arvada Police Department, 8101 Ralston Road.

A man filed a police report of forgery after an acquaintance reportedly wrote a check in his name.

The victim is an employee at Ameristar Casino in Blackhawk and was talking to a regular customer after his shift on June 10.

The customer offered to give the man a ride back to Arvada, which he accepted, and they then had drinks at an Arvada bar.

The man let the woman stay the night on his couch in Arvada.

The man had to leave his residence at 8:30 a.m. June 11 to attend to personal business and he could not get the woman to get up, so left her there. When he returned later in the day, she was gone.

While checking the balance of his checking account on June 14, the man saw that a check had been cashed for $550.

He was able to pull up a copy of the check on his phone and the check had his signature on it and was written to a third party.

On June 14, the man confronted the woman about the incident and at first she denied knowing anything about it.

She then admitted she was involved and agreed to meet the man at noon on June 15 to return the money.

The woman did not meet him and he

decided to file a police report. His bank, Boulder Valley Bank, was holding video of the incident and a fingerprint of the person who cashed the check.

The man was given a case number to provide more information and documentation regarding the incident.

Police called to residence following argument

8:40 p.m. Saturday, June 15, 4900 block of W. 66th Avenue Police were called to the 4900 block of W. 66th Avenue about a possible domestic disturbance between a husband and wife.

The husband told police that the couple has been married for five years and earlier in the day they started to argue over an apple pie that she had made him.

The argument made the wife very upset.

The man left their home for a while to allow his wife to calm down, during which time she continually texted him, asking where he was, to which he did not reply.

When the man returned home, his wife was still upset at him for leaving and not telling her where he went. The man told police that he believed her “over-reaction” to everything was due to the fact that she is several months pregnant with their first child.

The man said they would be able to sort out their differences and if things got heated he would spend the night at his mother’s house.

The man and woman both said at no point during the argument did either person get physical with the other or make threats.

No action was taken against the couple.

Woman arrested on warrants following attempted theft

3:45 p.m. Sunday, June 15, King Soopers, 9731 W. 58th Ave. A woman was arrested and issued a trespass notice after trying to steal more than $150 in groceries from King Soopers.

The woman was shopping with her son and placing items in reusable bags inside her cart. An employee saw the woman shopping and then walk past the checkout counters and out the door without paying for the items.

The woman told police she was having financial problems at home and realized she didn’t have enough money to buy groceries. The woman attempted to steal $152.87 in groceries.

She said she had stolen a gallon of milk about a month ago and didn’t get caught so she thought she’d try it again, despite knowing it was wrong. She admitted to stealing other items about a year ago as well.

The woman called her husband to come pick up their son. When he came, the man was clearly annoyed and mumbled something to the woman before walking away without allowing the police to speak to him.

The woman was then issued a municipal summons for theft and a trespass notice. Dispatch then advised police that the woman had two active warrants out for her arrest. She was taken into custody and transported to the Jefferson County Jail.

Hensley skates to national level Former Green Mountain Ram hockey player piling up saves

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com LAKEWOOD - One of Lakewood’s own is making it big and making even bigger saves.

Nicole Hensley, a 2012 graduate of Green Mountain High School, recently completed a stellar rookie campaign as a freshman goaltender playing NCAA Division I ice hockey at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo. The 19-year-old gained national acclaim for her 90save effort in a CHA Conference playoff game against Robert Morris University on March 1, setting an NCAA Division I record for saves in the entire CHA Conference playoff tournament in only one game.

On Friday, Hensley learned she will be recognized for her 90-save game on the Lindenwood website as one of the university’s “Top 10 Sports Moments of the Year.”

On Friday the Lindenwood website will note the accomplishment.

The award is only one of many awards that Hensley has racked up in just a single season.

After earning both starts as a freshman in the season opening series against nonconference Western Collegiate Athletic Conference (WCHA) opponent Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio on Sept. 28-29. Hensley went on to become the No. 1 goaltender for the Lady Lions and garnered numerous awards at the university, conference and national level during the 2012-13 season.

Her first award of the season was the Lindenwood Female Student Athlete of the Week Award, followed by three CHA Conference Honor Roll awards, five CHA Conference Rookie of the Week awards, and the CHA Conference Rookie of the Month Award for February 2013.

Additional awards came at the end of the season.

Hensley was a unanimous selection to the CHA Conference All-Rookie Team, was selected CHA All Conference Second Team, and was named CHA Conference Rookie of the Year, finishing second in the CHA Conference with a .939 save percentage in league games, just .001 behind the leader.

But Hensley is far from satisfied. She is already geared up for her sophomore campaign.

“At this point, my goals include making it back to the

Warren Strelow Goaltending Camp next year as well as making August Fest sometime in the future which is a camp that brings together players from the national team, as well as hopefuls for the future teams and possibly one day the Olympics,” Hensley said.

While becoming a member of Team USA is just a dream for many, it is a potential reality for Hensley, who was invited by USA Hockey to attend the Warren Strelow National Team Goaltending Camp in Ann Arbor, Mich. last May. The camp featured the top 12 female goaltenders in the U.S. eligible for international play in select age groups.

While she continues to excel, she recalls the early days fondly.

“One of my other favorite memories would’ve been when my High Plains hockey team, the Black Widows

beat the Polar Bears in overtime to win the state championship. It was really cool because my sister was on the team and those games are always fun because you have friends on every team,” Hensley said.

Her sister, Brittany, will be a junior at Green Mountain High School this fall and is a letter winner for the Rams in soccer, basketball and academically.

Nicole, an exercise science major, is looking forward to a strong sophomore athletic and academic year at Lindenwood, with the 2013-14 ice hockey season opening series at home on September 27-28 with a non-conference series against WCHA opponent Bemidji State from Bemidji, Minn.

Lindenwood is a member of the College Hockey America (CHA) Conference along with Penn State, Syracuse, Mercyhurst, Robert Morris and RIT.

Thornton sinks upgrades into Thorncreek Popular golf course tallies numerous renovations

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com THORNTON - If you have ever driven by Interstate 25 and 136th Avenue and wondered if you were missing out by not stopping by and playing a round at Thorncreek Golf Course the answer is a firm yes.

The course that always looks a lush green off the highway is even better on foot, and Thorncreek offers an out-of-town golf experience just 15 minutes north of downtown Denver.

“You will definitely have a golf experience and not just play a round of golf when you are at Thorncreek,” Thorncreek staff member Peyton Lindbloom said.

The 18-hole course that is also Thornton’s only municipal course is more than 7,200 yards from the championship tees, but it can also play 6,500 yards from the white tees, making the course welcome to players of all abilities.

The course, designed by Finger Dye Spahn, Inc., just celebrated its 20th anniversary. It has been just over a year since the City of Thornton took over day-to-day operations of the course from previously management. Thornton spent over a quarter-of-a-million dollars in renovations and took an already popular course to the next level in terms of overall course conditions.

Landscaping additions, new fences, new turf seed and overall appearances of the fairways, cart paths and even clubhouse were just some of the makeovers the course received.

With grass stations and endless targets, Thorncreek’s large driving range usually has a spot open. Photo by Daniel Williams “The company that has been running the course has let a few things go, and the course’s overall condition slipped a little bit. But right now the course is beautiful,” Thornton resident and Thorncreek regular Phil Wells said.

Thorncreek has a well above course rating of 73.6 and was given a 4-star rating by

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com GOLDEN - Chris Siemers has been promoted from interim head coach to head coach of the Colorado School of Mines cross country programs effective immediately.

Interim Director of Athletics Marv Kay announced the hire that was only a matter of time after Mines cross country’s exceptional season.

“Chris did a very fine job during his year as interim head coach,” Kay said. “His team’s national accomplishments speak volumes for his ability as a head coach. It is expected that the cross country teams will continue to excel under his coaching and leadership.”

Siemers guided Mines to its best season in program history in 2012, steering both cross country teams back to the NCAA national championships for the first time since 2005 as the men claimed runner-up out of 32 teams and the women took eighth, their third top-10 finish of the last 10 seasons.

With a program-record five runners in the top-36 and earning All-American stature, the Oredigger men continued their noteworthy run of high showings at the national meet, finishing in the top-five for the fourth straight year and in the top-10 for an eighth consecutive season.

The men spent the entirety of the regular season ranked inside the nation’s top-four, including a four-week stint at No. 2., and finished no lower than third at any meet in the fall under Siemers, capturing top honors at the Woody Greeno/Nebraska Invitational as well as second-place results at the Oklahoma State Cowboy Jamboree and RMAC Championships.

The 2012 Captain U Division II Men’s Cross Country College Coach of the Year, Siemers saw the Mines women rank inside the top-25 in all seven regular season ballots, highlighted by a season-best ranking of No. 13 in the final poll.

The Orediggers captured three fourthplace team finishes and took sixth at the Cowboy Jamboree behind a trio of Division I squads.

Golf Digest as “Best Places to Play.”

“The course can definitely be challenging, but it can also be a long or as short as you want to play it. It is a course everyone can play,” Lindbloom said.

And then comes the matter of price — which is actually no issue at Thorncreek.

One thing the city has done is to remain

competitive with the cost of playing nine of 18 holes. There are courses twice the price and three times the drive that don’t live up to the experience you will get at Thorncreek.

And Thorncreek puts together tournaments for business owners who run a charity or are involved in a fundraiser.

Former Mines track national champions Mark Husted (2011) and Mack McLain (2012) have not missed a stride since their times in Golden and the pair competed at the U.S Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa.

Husted, a six-time All-American and twotime national champion at Mines, placed fourth in his preliminary heat and 11th overall out of 28 in the 800 with a time of 1:47.87, just 0.57 of a second behind a semifinal qualification.

The ESPN the Magazine Track/Cross Country Academic All-America of the Year and RMAC Outdoor Track & Field Academic Athlete of the Year in 2010, Husted, a member of the Denver Track Club, qualified for the national championships with a personal-record of 1:47.56 on April 28 at the 2013 Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational in Palo Alto, California.

McLain, a 12-time All-American and three-time national champion — both alltime program-bests, ranked 11th in prelims and 22nd overall among 46 runners in the 1500 in 3:46.67.

Golfers gear up for Solheim Cup Match-play format has unique twist

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Some captains and potential players of the European Solheim Cup team recently visited and played the Colorado Golf Club during a week off in the LPGA and European Tour schedules.

The Solheim Cup, the women’s version of the Ryder Cup, pits 12 golfers from the United States against 12 European golfers and is scheduled Aug. 13-18 at the Colorado Golf Club in Parker. Coaches and players met with the media July 2, and almost everyone delivered the same message that anything can happen in match play.

“In match play, anything can happen,” said assistant captain Annika Sorenstam.

“Some players feel they are representing their country and continent. They just soak it up and find another gear they might not find in other tournaments.

“It’s a putt here, it’s a shot here, it’s a match turned around.”

The Solheim Cup has a unique match play format. Players will play fourball, in which each player plays their own ball throughout the round. Each hole is won by the twowomen team whose player had the lowest score on the hole and the team is awarded a point. If the teams tie, a half-point is given to each team. Foursomes pit two-player teams and the golfers hit alternate shots. A point is

In the 12 singles matches, all 24 players square off and golfers gain points or halves for each hole. There will be 28 matches played over the three days of the tournament.

Four foursomes matches will be held Aug. 16 starting at 7:30 a.m., with four fourball matches set to begin at 1 p.m. On Aug. 17, foursome and fourball matches are scheduled for the same times.

The 12 singles matches begin at 12:30 p.m.

Aug. 18.

There are 28 points up for grabs in the team standings over the three days, with a point awarded for each match won and half point garnered for each match that is tied.

Europe needs 14 points to retain the cup, which it won in 2011 in Meath, Ireland. The Americans would need 14.5 points to earn theirs seventh straight victory on U.S. soil.

Many purists argue that match play is boring because when a team or individual gets a commanding lead, their play tends to be cautious and conservative. However, the format often leads to more aggressive play, especially

since each hole is a separate competition.

“It’s (Colorado Golf Club) a great course for match play, especially the back nine from 14 on could be fun holes,” said European captain Liselotte Neumann. “A lot of things could happen on those holes, there are short par 4s and par 5s that you can get on in two shots.

“There are some great holes, especially when it comes to playing maybe the best ball matches. You have 16 when someone might want to go for it. In match play, you can have someone be more aggressive.”

Carlota Ciganda, a former Arizona State golfer from Pamplona, Spain, who turned pro two years ago, played on two European Junior Solheim Cup teams and enjoys match play.

“The whole format is fun, being a team member,” said Ciganda. “Match play is different and this course suits it well because you can take some risks and play it as a match play course. It’s going to be fun.”

Neumann, Sorenstam and assistant captain Carin Koch will have the difficult task of matching partners for the fourball and foursomes matches.

“It’s about finding the right partners you are playing with,” said Sorenstam. “There are times you play with players and you try so hard but it always doesn’t fit.

“I can mention Suzann Pettersen. She’s a top player as an individual. She’s now No. 3 in the world. In the Solheim Cup she really rises to the top and she’s had some opportunities to make some winning putts. She was my partner a few times and together she elevated my game and I elevated her game. That the challenge of the captains, to find the right combinations.”
