Breakfast honors those who serve others By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com It was an early start to a positive morning at the 24th annual Good News Breakfast at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds on Tuesday, April 29. This year’s theme, “Service Projects Strengthen Our Community,” awarded local volunteers, clubs and organizations that have created impressive services which have made an impact within the communities they serve. “When you’re working in service, you’re working alongside some truly amazing people,” said Teo Nicolais, keynote speaker and president-elect of the Kiwanis Club of Alameda West; a global organization separated into local entities which perform various community service projects. “Through service we strengthen others, our personal communities and of course we also strengthen ourselves,” Nicolais said. A total of 12 service projects scattered throughout Jeffco received awards including Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth’s Santa House which provides holiday gifts for students from 16 Arvada and Wheat Ridge elementary schools; The Neighborhood Rehab Project a volunteered based home im-
provement program which helps residents in Golden with everyday home repair and garden work; The Senior Resource Center’s Holiday Food Baskets which have become a tradition with seniors creating 130 decorated boxes filled with food and gifts. These boxes are delivered to the elderly and persons with disabilities during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Former Jeffco public schools superintendent, Cindy Stevenson, was this year’s Golden News Coalition’s Hall of Fame recipient. After 41 years, Stevenson announced her abrupt resignation in February, ahead of her scheduled departure in June. “Dr. Stevenson, you are my mentor, my friend, you have always made one thing apparently clear — that students are first and foremost in your heart,” said Ron Castagna, principal of Lakewood High School. “You deserve much, much more, you led all of our schools, you were a mentor to many of us as educators and I will always call myself teacher because of you.” Students from the Lakewood High School Choir joined the stage to serenade an emotional Stevenson as they sang their appreciations and goodbyes with “To Sir with Love” by classical music singer Lulu. “We create a great district for our children and we create

After a bill cruised through the Senate, the House last week put the brakes on the measure, which sought to ban red-light cameras and photo radar systems in Colorado. The legislation officially met its demise during a House Appropriations Committee hearing on April 30, but the bill’s sponsor, House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, had pretty Report much accepted its defeat before it even got there. Senate Bill 14 would have prohibited local governments from using photoradar technology to capture drivers who speed or run red lights. It was gutted by the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee, which passed a strippeddown version of the bill on April 28. The gutted version only would have allowed for a state study of the technology’s public-safety effectiveness, something that Ferrandino didn’t think was necessary. “I think we have enough studies to show that it’s not effective,” Ferrandino told the Appropriations Committee. Ferrandino and other bill supporters argued that photo-radar technology is a cash cow used by local governments to rack up revenue, courtesy of lead-foot drivers. The House speaker also said the technology does little to prevent accidents. “They give a sense of public safety, but don’t actually increase public safety,” Ferrandino said. But several law-enforcement representatives testified otherwise during the committee process. Supporters of the technology asserted that the devices serve as a blessing for understaffed police agencies and that the presence of the cameras curbs bad habits on the part of drivers. “If you just look at the money side and ignore the public-safety side, to me the public-safety side triumphs,” said Rep. Jeanne Labuda, D-Denver. The bill’s gutted version called for an effectiveness study that would have been undertaken by the Colorado Department of Transportation. But House Appropriations Committee member Max Tyler, DLakewood, wasn’t willing to fund the legislation at the possible expense of other CDOT projects. “I’m wondering what bridge is not going to be built, what road is not going to be protected,” Tyler said. “Where are they

Lawmakers: Moderates needed to further debate Every couple of years, the Legislature loses familiar faces, for better or for worse. Some have to leave because of term limits. But others decide on their own that government and politics just aren’t for them any more — giving us hope that politicians aren’t entirely crazy. It’s common for lawmakers who are leaving the Capitol to reflect on the past and look toward the future. But during recent conversations with three outgoing female lawmakers, I found it interesting how concerned they were over one thing in particular — the loss of moderate representation at the Capitol. “I think it’s very sad that three moderate women are opting out of a fourth term,” said Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge. Schafer referenced herself and Republican Reps. Carole Murray of Castle Rock and Cheri Gerou of Evergreen as three lawmakers whose exits will leave a void at the General Assembly. The three women — who have served in the House for a combined 18 years — have been known to cast votes that blur party lines. For example, Schafer sometimes bucks her party on small business issues. “I don’t always vote with my caucus,” she said. “Sometimes we have bad bills
and so do the others across the aisle.” Murray was a co-sponsor of the Student Success Act, a major bipartisan education bill. And she shed tears and raised eyebrows when she voted for last year’s bill that created civil unions in Colorado — joining only a few Republicans to do so. Gerou also voted for the civil unions bill and has often crossed the aisle on legislation, which sometimes ruffles the feathers of those on the more conservative wing of the Republican Party. Both Gerou and Murray said they are concerned that their party is losing touch with moderate voters. That’s been a struggle for a party that has not fared well at the state or national level in recent years. Gerou did not hesitate when I asked whether she was concerned about the state of her party. “Oh, absolutely,” she said. “It’ll guarantee that we’re in the minority for a really
long time. I talked to Sue Schafer and she’s concerned there’s no moderation, and it’s on both sides. But I think it’s your own party that bugs you the most because you expect certain things from the other party, but it disappoints you when your party does things you don’t like.” Gerou said it is social issues — such as gay marriage, debates over abortion and immigration reform — that is hurting the GOP brand. “I hope they stop focusing on social issues and get back to doing what Republicans have always done well, and that’s represent business,” Gerou said. “I wish the social issues would go away. “I look back at someone like Barry Goldwater, when they asked him his thoughts on gays in the military. And he said, `I don’t care. If they want to serve our country, let them serve our country.’ That’s the type of Republican I like to be around.” Murray agrees that social issues have hurt the party and have turned off many voters, including many Republicans. “It’s particularly difficult to the old-line, establishment Republicans who have not been accustomed to the social issues being brought into the conservation,” Murray said. “And the new Republicans, too. All of the young interns and aides at the
Capitol have a hard time relating to the hard stance that we take on certain issues. “I’ve had many friends who feel like they don’t recognize the party and that gives me pause. Because, as a party, we can’t be pushing people away. We need to find out a way to bring people in.” Murray said that Republicans should do more to reach out to Hispanics, who are growing in population and in political strength. “If we don’t bring them in — and soon — we may never win again,” Murray said. Gerou feels the same way and hopes that the party gets back on track by focusing on economic issues and not social ones. But don’t expect Gerou to change parties any time soon. “I’m not going to become a Democrat; I just can’t,” Gerou said while laughing. “I couldn’t do that to my grandparents. It’s like when I was younger, I couldn’t live with a guy because if my grandmother ever found out, I couldn’t face it. “I’m 58 years old and my grandmother still controls my life.” Vic Vela covers the Legislature for Colorado Community Media.

Venezuelan cuisine comes to Golden New restaurant offers distinct entrees, coffees By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Golden’s expansive collection of restaurants just secured a new eatery that brings the taste of Venezuela to Colorado’s foothills. Elote’s, located at 2600 East St., is serving up some fresh and healthy cuisine with original recipes long forgotten by Venezuela. “The people that come here more or less are people that want something new,” said Carolina Asprino, co-owner of Elote’s. Asprino, along with her husband Luis, opened Elote’s three months ago. Natives of Venezuela, both husband and wife are science minded; Luis having earned a civil engineering degree and Carolina fervently earning two masters’ degrees, one in mechanical engineering and a doctorate. She has researched at the Colorado School of Mines and is currently teaching classes in the engineering and technology department at Metropolitan State University of Denver. It was Luis’s idea to open a restaurant; he has always had a passion for food. Before coming to the U.S., Asprino was a pioneer
in reintroducing some of Venezuela’s authentic foods after traveling to Venezuela’s states and speaking with farmers and cooks who gave him recipes. Most Venezuelan’s didn’t know these recipes, he said. The country, located on the northern coast of South America, was the eighth largest oil exporter in the world in 2010, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. During the petroleum boom during the 1940s, Europeans fled to Venezuela and brought with them French, Italian and Portuguese food indigenous to their country, Luis explained. As a result, Venezuelans were heavily influenced by the European presence. “The people wanted to try something new and forgot our food,” he said. After collecting recipes, he printed them through a major news agency in Venezuela and now, the younger generations are connecting with their culture’s native foods. To assume that Elote’s offers anything similar to dozens of other Latin American food chains would be a mistake. In fact, the menu consists of nothing that involves tacos, tamales or enchiladas although they do offer quesadillas and empanadas but not in the way North American’s are used to. Instead, the menu features naturally gluten free corn-based flat bread dishes that can be stuffed with various meats and cheeses such as their signature Arepas and Cachapas.

The dish includes all the staples of any well-rounded meal while providing a taste of Venezuelan’s unique seasonings; shredded beef with rice, black beans and unsweetened fried plantains. “It’s different than anything you can get at other places around here,” said Max Mardick, Golden resident and returning customer at Elote’s. Mardick and his wife Nancy stumbled upon Elote’s after leaving church one Sunday morning. While Mardick recommends the Aerpas, Luis makes a special skillet for Mardick who enjoys his
scrambled eggs in the morning. “I hope against hope that this catches on,” Mardick said. “Once people find this place, people will come back.” Any guest dining alone can spend under $20 for an appetizer, a dish and dessert. Vegetarian dishes are offered every week and European style coffees along with a liquor selection from the bar can easily be paired with any meal.

Medical marijuana not approved for PTSD Two Democrats join Republicans in killing bill, 6-5, in committee By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill that would have allowed marijuana to be used as a treatment option for post-traumatic stress disorder failed in a House committee on April 28. House Bill 1364 would have added PTSD to a list of eight other conditions that qualify sufferers for medical marijuana treatment. Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, a bill sponsor, argued that those with PTSD should be given the option to consult with doctors as to whether medical pot is a viable treatment option for their condition. That’s better practice than sufferers having to resort to figuring out their best pot pathway through retail pot shop clerks, he said. “Should it be the bud-tenders on Colfax
or the doctors at Kaiser?” Singer asked the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee. Colorado voters, through the 2000 passage of Amendment 20, approved eight conditions that qualify for medical pot treatment, including cancer, glaucoma and AIDS. Report The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has the ability to add other conditions to that list, but it has not done so since Amendment 20 passed. Several witnesses testified that marijuana has helped alleviate their PTSD symptoms, including military veterans who served in conflicts and wars, ranging from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan. “Cannabis made it to where I don’t have to take any of these prescription drugs,” testified Sean Azzariti, an Iraq War veteran. “It saved my life.”
Capitol
Oil-gas study measure dies Bill would have required probe of health impacts By Vic Vela
vvela@colorado communitymedia.com A bill that would have created a study of the health impacts of oil and gas drilling on Front Range residents died in a state Senate committee on April 29. The bill — which increased in cost over time — was killed in the Senate Appropriations Committee, following a 5-2 vote. Democratic Sens. Pat Steadman of Denver and Mary Hodge of Brighton joined all Republican committee memReport bers in voting against the measure. A dejected bill sponsor expressed disappointment after her effort failed. “I think the people’s voices have been silenced,” said Rep. Joann Ginal, D-Fort Collins. House Bill 1297 would have required the state to conduct a three-year health impact study on residents living in the Front Range counties of Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer and Weld. The study would have included the surveying of residents living in those areas and the possible review of medical records. The effort was a response to concerns over the practice of hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking” — the practice of mixing of water, sand and chemicals and blasting
Capitol
the mixture deep into the ground to crack porous rock and free up oil and gas. The study would have focused on counties that include communities that have sought to either ban or limit the practice of fracking over the last few years. Ginal and other bill supporters said a study would provide both a health and educational benefit for Coloradans who want to know more about the impacts of the controversial oil and gas industry money-maker and job creator. However, the bill received only a single Republican vote in the House. Some legislators and oil and gas industry leaders opposed the effort for reasons that included concerns that the study would be slanted toward the viewpoint of fracking opponents. Money was also an issue. Originally, the bill sought only to include Adams, Boulder, Larimer and Weld counties as part of the study. But a House committee added Arapahoe County and the City and County of Broomfield to that list. The additions increased the study’s cost to about $700,000 — something that concerned Ginal before it even got to the Senate Appropriations Committee. Senate President Morgan Carroll, DAurora, said she did not know if cost or other factors led to the bill’s defeat. Carroll did say that she supported the bill and that “it’s a basic responsibility (of the state)” to look out for the health of its residents. “I think sooner or later it behooves all of us to get a credible and independent study,” Carroll said. “And, from the oil and gas perspective, if (fracking) is as safe as they say, then they should have credible independent studies that confirm that.” Ginal said she intends to revive the effort next year.
Singer said that it should be up to doctors to decide what is best for their patients and cited high suicide rates among veterans as reason enough to keep all treatment options open. “I don’t think that every veteran who commits suicide … could have used medical marijuana and it would have saved their life. I don’t believe that for a second,” Singer said. “But I do believe that some of them might have been able to use this as a tool in their toolbox to have that conversation with their doctor to make the right decisions for them.” Key opposition testimony came from Dr. Larry Wolk, CDPHE’s chief medical officer. Wolk said that CDPHE already has a process in place that allows the department to add health conditions to the medical marijuana list. Wolk said the department has considered the addition of PTSD to the list twice before and rejected it both times. Wolk also said that there isn’t enough research to show that marijuana is an effective treatment for PTSD.
Some committee members had legal concerns over the bill, with some wondering whether the legislation would be akin to lawmakers taking it upon themselves to changing Amendment 20 language in the state Constitution. “I don’t always think the right decision for us to make is, `Well, let’s just let the courts decide,’” said Rep. Tim Dore, R-Elizabeth, who opposed the bill. Rep. Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton, said her opposition to the bill was personal. She said that marijuana use on the part of her child led to addictions to more dangerous drugs. “My personal life story is one that has shown marijuana to absolutely be a gateway drug, and I watched it become a gateway drug from marijuana to Oxycontin to heroin for someone I love with all of my heart,” Conti said. The bill died following a 6-5 vote. Two Democrats — Reps. Jeanne Labuda and Angela Williams, both of Denver — joined all four Republican committee members in voting against the bill.
BOARD OF EDUCATION ON THE RECORD The Jefferson County Board of Education discussed the following during its May 1 regular business meeting. Board members in attendance were President Ken Witt, First Vice President Julie Williams, Second Vice President Lesley Dahlkemper, Secretary John Newkirk and Treasurer Jill Fellman. Prior to the meeting the more than 400 Jeffco teachers, parents and district supporters gathered at each entrance around Bear Creek High School, 9800 W. Dartmouth Place, to rally in support of the district. More than 900 individuals attended the meeting, filling the auditorium and overflow seating had to be arranged.
Budget Update During the board’s study session, the board heard a presentation from the district’s Chief Financial Officer, Lorie Gillis. The presentation showed a $217 increase in the district’s per pupil revenue, but added this number will likely increase. Pending the legislation, the district can expect to see a $144 increase for the funding, totaling a $361 increase in per pupil revenue. During the business portion of the meeting, Dahlkemper moved to reinstate the $600,000 budget item for the expansion of 13 free full-day kindergarten classes in five district schools. The motion was voted against (3-2, Newkirk, Williams and Witt) after a discussion, where Newkirk and Witt sought additional information, such as figures for the teacher compensation for the 13 classrooms and what the fiscal cost would be if instated for Jeffco’s 34 percent free and reduced lunch population.
Writing and Math end goals The board heard an update regarding two of its end goals, writing and math. The board set to increase the writing and math proficiency during their board retreat in
December 2013. The presentation focused on using professional learning and tools and resources to help teachers and students excel in these areas. According to the presentations, this school year has focused on having teachers learn together to wrap around services for all students. To help teachers stay cutting edge, the district is offering professional development through graduate level courses and certifications in both writing and math, while approaching these subjects with comprehensive approach instruction (CALI), a critical thinking guide and thinking maps. The board will see a final update after receiving TCAP results in August.
Social media update The board heard an update from Communication Director Lynn Setzer, regarding social media protocols and responsibilities. She detailed the practices and statistics of the district’s social media (Facebook and Twitter) implementation.
Legislative Update Two bills, HB-1292 and HB-1298, are regarding school assessment and school finance. Both passed in house on May 1. Due to the recent passing of both bills, Jeffco can expect to receive $554 million including assumption money in Jeffco charters and a certain number of preschool spots. This figure is a nearly $30 million increase in state funding. According to the district’s lobbyist, the numbers are not final, with some uncertainty in numbers at this time as both bills have not yet been finalized. During this topic, the board talked about the language to several resolutions regarding upcoming legislation at the capital, such as a resolution on testing, specifically the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) testing. — Compiled by Crystal Anderson

Shires touts experience Candidate for sheriff calls for mental health focus By Amy Woodward
awoodward@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jim Shires will be running against Jeff Shrader during the 2014 Jefferson County Sheriff primaries this June. A native of Oklahoma and resident of Wheat Ridge, Shires will be going into his 29th year with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in August. Shires, was promoted to sergeant since 2012, and promoted again to field training sergeant within six months. His continued interac- Shires tion with deputies and the general public is what gives him a better insight into the changes that are long overdue at the Jeffco Sheriff’s office, Shires said. “Understanding what the current job demand is because I’ve stayed connected with the job … helped me understand what the citizens want from their local law enforcement agency,” he said. “I’m the only candidate that’s made an arrest in the past 20 years.” While his priorities are similar to other candidates including school safety and protecting the second amendment; Shires has plans to address mental health while increasing responsibility to protect senior citizens as well as developing more userfriendly online reporting tools for citizens. His viewpoint on low morale among deputies isn’t all about pay raises, he said. “Pay doesn’t fix morale within businesses and employees,” Shires said. “It’s
how either the businesses are being run or how the employees are being treated, and I think we have a combination of both of those which has caused morale to be as low as it is.” While working in the jails, Shires has seen numerous inmates who are afflicted with mental illnesses who are not receiving adequate treatment. In some cases, “chronic visitors” to the jail is common, with one inmate in particular being transported to a local hospital for self-mutilation two to even three times a day, Shires said. If elected, he plans to reach out to community mental health experts and centers that can assist in ensuring that inmates are evaluated properly and receiving the correct treatment in the most appropriate place. “We as a community need to work together to ensure that these people are getting the help that they need in the most efficient manner.” George Mumma, senior investigator for the Jeffco District Attorney’s Office, has been working closely with Shires to help develop and organize Shires’ priorities into a plan of action. Shires said he is looking forward to collaborating further with Mumma, who has worked at the DA’s office for 20 years and was instrumental in creating a juvenile assessment center under former DA Dave Thomas. Shires, who calls Mumma his “right hand man” plans to bring him in as an undersheriff should the voters of Jeffco elect him as sheriff. “I’m not part of the establishment, I’m not a bureaucrat.” Shires said. “I pledged 28 years ago to give the best service I can and my pledge is stronger now than it ever has been.” For more information about Jim Shires, go to www.shires4sheriff.com.
Voting issue causes tension Jefferson County Board of Education member seeks outside legal counsel By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Jeffco Board of Education Treasurer Jill Fellman, announced she will be seeking outside legal counsel from David Foster, of the Foster and Grahm law firm, after receiving what she believes is a legally threatening email. The email was sent by the board’s attorney Brad A. Miller to Fellman, the other board members, Chief Operating Officer Steve Bell, Chief Financial Officer Lorie Gillis, and a representative from Caplan and Earnest, at noon on April 24. According to Fellman, it stated that if she did not listen to Miller’s advice regarding executive sessions, she would be personally liable. ”His basic message was, if you don’t listen to me and take my advice you could be individually liable,” Fellman said. The email came after a 2-3 vote not go into an executive session in regards to an update about the impending mediation with the Jefferson County Educators Association (JCEA) following the declaration of the impasse. To move into an executive session, the board must have four out of the five members voting in favor of the motion. ”We have counsel so we can get good advice,” Board President Ken Witt said. ”It’s critical that all board members share their responsibility to the district so we can properly direct the district in regards to negotiations with associations.” According to Miller, the email was informative, reminding the board of its responsibilities to the community. ”It’s incumbent on me to make sure the board is aware of its legal obligations and
that the board is aware of its fiduciary duties,” Miller said. In the past two board meetings where an executive session about JCEA mediation was on the agenda, Fellman and Second Vice President Lesley Dahlkemper voted against it, stating an update of information where no direction is given should be open to the public. ”I share Ms. Fellman’s concerns,” Dahlkemper said. ” We have to be judicious about when we go into executive session and have a strong rationale to go into executive session. We have covered the bases we need to cover without going into executive session. An update on the next steps, a timeline — that can be open for the public to hear.” According to the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, a public entity holds a sovereign immunity from personable liability in matters associated with their position, unless there is a willful and wanton disregard of duties or criminal activity executed by the entity. The email sparked a concern among the board’s minority in regards to Miller’s privileges, responsibilities while detracting from the district’s most important matter, students. ”The privilege is ours, not the attorney’s, but he makes decisions on what’s privileged and confidential,” Dahlkemper said. ”I think it’s unfortunate as it takes us away from our No. 1 issue, which is kids and making sure they have the teachers and the best possible situation moving forward.” Fellman is currently discussing her legal options with Foster, and will move forward by doing what is appropriate, best for the district and herself. ”For me, I would not do anything that would block negotiations,” she said. ”My intent is to help and move the process forward, but at the same time, I need to take care of myself. To me, it’s two streets.”

Tuition bill sponsor blasts colleague after defeat Salazar rips fellow Adams County Democrat over her vote on bill By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A sponsor of a bill to ease tuition costs for American Indian college students accused a fellow Adams County Democrat of being “politically motivated” in her deciding vote to kill the legislation. Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, blasted Sen. Mary Hodge, D-Brighton, for voting against the bill during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on April 29. Hodge’s vote caused the bill to fail by a single vote, preventing it from being voted on by the full Senate. “I’m extremely disappointed in my senator, Sen. Hodge, who overlaps my district, because she was the deciding vote on killing it,” Salazar told Colorado Community Media. “And I think the commu-
nity demands answers and the community should get answers.” But Hodge said her vote on the bill was nothing personal and that it had everything to do with the cost to the state. “We have a Report lot of priorities, and we have to make tough choices sometimes,” Hodge said. Salazar’s bill would have allowed out-ofstate American Indian students to attend Colorado state colleges and universities at in-state tuition rates. House Bill 1124 would have applied to any student, regardless of where they reside in the country, so long as they are a member of one of the 48 federally-recognized Indian tribes with historical ties to Colorado. The bill had passed the House with Republican support. Salazar said he was particularly upset
Capitol
because he found out about the bill’s demise as he was speaking to an American Indian group that was visiting the Capitol. After informing the group that the bill had died, Salazar said the audience reacted with “astonishment.” “This was the feel-good bill of the year … and I think there needs to be answers as to why this bill was killed,” Salazar said. “I want to hear why Mary Hodge killed this bill.” Salazar said Hodge’s opposition to the bill stems from his “staunch opposition” to a bill of Hodge’s that died in the House earlier in the month. Hodge was a co-sponsor of Senate Bill 93, which clarified that oil pipeline companies could acquire rights-of-way by eminent domain. But Hodge said that “accusation is just silly” because she wasn’t a primary sponsor of that legislation. Hodge did co-sponsor the bill, but did not carry it through the committee process. Hodge said Salazar’s bill cost too much.
The bill would have increased state expenditures by at least $668,000 annually. But the biggest hit would have been to colleges and universities, which would have seen their revenues decrease by $5.3 million annually, had the bill passed. “The bill would have taken $5 million from very strapped colleges and universities,” she said. Salazar considered the cost earlier and had once thought of scaling back the legislation to apply only to incoming students. But Salazar said he didn’t end up doing that because it was his understanding that the bill was going to be funded in its original form. Salazar said he will bring the bill back next year. The bill’s Senate sponsor shared Salazar’s disappointment over the bill’s defeat, but she hopes that Salazar learns not to take legislative losses so personally. “One of the things you need to learn is you carry them, you don’t marry them,” said Sen. Lois Tochtrop, D-Thornton.
LEGISLATIVE NEWS Annual budget signed into law
Gov. John Hickenlooper signed into law a $24 billion state budget on April 30 that includes increased funding for education and disaster relief. The annual long bill replaces some of the education funding that was lost during recession years and pumps $100 million into the higher education system. The budget also includes about $21 million that will go toward the leasing or purchasing of an aerial firefighting fleet. In addition, money will be set aside to provide assistance for those who are impacted by wildfires and flooding. Rainy day funding will jump from 5 percent to 6.5 percent, under the new
budget.
Suicide commission clears Legislature
A bill that creates a suicide prevention commission is on its way to the governor’s desk. The legislation aims to provide answers as to why Colorado has such a high suicide rate. Colorado consistently ranks in the top 10 of states with the highest number of suicides. Senate Bill 88 creates a state commission that provides recommendations to the governor’s office, the Legislature and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
The bill passed the House on May 1 after it had previously passed the Senate. The bill was sponsored by Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, and Rep. Tracy KraftTharp, D-Arvada.
For Matt Cooke of the Minnesota Wild Hockey Club, seven is his lucky number. That’s because – after he injured Colorado Avalanche player Tyson Barrie with a knee-on-knee hit in Game 3 of the recent Avalanche/Wild Stanley Cup Playoffs – Cooke received only a 7-game suspension for ending Barrie’s season. Much has already been said about Cooke’s behavior, and not just from us Avalanche fans. Sportscasters around the country reacted quickly and with disgust. Cooke was reviled as a thug, a cheap-shot artist, a repeat-offending dirty player who has ended careers, not just seasons. Even the Minneapolis Star Tribune said, “Cooke’s return to goonish roots should be punished harshly.” But for Matt Cooke, who received only a two-minute minor for kneeing, lucky seven was on his side. Suspended for just seven games by the NHL, Cooke will be skating for the Wild by Game 4 in their best-of-seven series with the Chicago Blackhawks. Colorado lost to Minnesota in Game 7 of the Avs/Wild series. I like to read online comments for news articles because they are a fascinating blend of articulate reasoning and blowhard gesticulating, with everything else in between. What I find most interesting about comments for this incident is the comparison of Cooke’s thuggery to that of other players, including Patrick Roy and Erik Johnson. However, what these commenters are referring to is dropyour-gloves fighting, not intentional acts meant to injure another player. What strikes me, though, is the use of such comparisons to justify leniency for Cooke. This is somewhat like saying that because a kid in the third period got away with throwing spitballs at the teacher, the kid throwing spitballs in fifth period should also be spared of consequences. Of course, in Matt Cooke’s case, Tyson Barrie’s injury is a far more serious circumstance. Justice, of any kind, should not and cannot be predicated on the theory that
Oil and gas fines bill advances
Education measure goes to governor
A bill that provides $180 million dollars in new K-12 education funding is on its way to the governor’s desk. The Student Success Act puts $20 million toward third-grade reading programs and provides a uniform transparency system that allows the public to see how the new dollars are being spent. The bill also backfills $110 million in education funding cuts that occurred
Cooke’s behavior and resulting suspension are simply ammunition
during lean budget years. The bill passed both legislative chambers with large bipartisan support, most recently in the House on April 30.
Penalties for violating oil and gas rules will increase for the first time in nine years, under a bill that is expected to be signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper. House Bill 1356 increases daily fines from the current $1,000 to $15,000 for violations that include hazardous spills. The bill passed the Senate on April 30, following a 20-15 vote. The bill had previously passed the House.

because others haven’t been punished for their actions, future perpetrators should escape appropriate consequences. And, based on a 17-game suspension he received in 2011 for elbowing (which was also a dirty hit), Cooke’s current suspension isn’t anywhere near appropriate for his knee-on-knee hit to Tyson Barrie. Some say Cooke should be out as long as Barrie is out. That makes sense in the regular season, but with the Avs out of the Stanley Cup, such a suspension is now moot. Others say that because Cooke is a habitual offender, he should be out of the League altogether. I can’t disagree. But my other major concern about Cooke’s slap on the wrist is that now his prescribed suspension can be used to excuse punishment for the next cheap shot, and the next, and the next. Rather than drawing a line in the sand as a warning to other players about what the League won’t tolerate, the NHL has set a dangerous precedent by doling out a sentence that’s no real deterrent when the stakes are Stanley-Cup high. I despise Matt Cooke and I detest what he did, on purpose, to Tyson Barrie. And because of a mere 7-game suspension for Matt Cooke, what amounts to little more than an admonition can become ammunition on the ice for others intent on injury. And there’s nothing lucky about that. Andrea Doray is a writer who’s really glad that Tyson Barrie’s parents were in Denver to see his stellar play in the first two games of the series.

opinions / yours and ours
No go best signal for red-light bill A bill to ban red-light cameras and photo-radar systems inspired healthy debate in the Statehouse but ultimately did not get the green light, and we’re fine with the call. Further we agree with one of our local legislators, Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, who opposed a late amendment to the respective bill to fund a study on red-light camera effectiveness. Funds that would go toward a study, could perhaps go to another CDOT bridge, Tyler noted. No pressing need for more research. Both sides have sources — on one hand that the technology improves public safety and on the other hand the use of the technology actually has the reverse effect, and further that the practices function more as a cash cow than a tool targeting public safety.
our view It’s worth noting that this proposed and oft-discussed ban on red-light cameras and photo radar got a strong push at the Legislature this year with bipartisan support. Rep. Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley and House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, were among those who gave arguments that the cash-producing systems do not improve safety. But with every urging to do away with the cameras, plenty of legislators and others stepped forward to say the technology comes to the aid of public safety in their neck of the woods. We value these local
voices, and support local control of the technology. Technology and the automation of tasks that would otherwise be carried out by people increases efficiency and can often in practice be much more consistent and comprehensive. To that aim, earlier in the session, we reported Jessie Ulibarri of Commerce City saying technology is especially vital in areas where “human management is impossible.” But that’s the trick and where some controversy lies. We recognize a healthy mistrust of the mounted cameras keeping tabs on drivers. People wonder if existing regulations governing the use of the cameras is enough. Further, are yellow lights shortened to bring in more revenue or does common sense balanced with guidelines and regu-
lations prevail? And are camera practices going to instant-replay pro sports heights with each line drawn hard and fast and little left in the way discretion? For now, we are glad the practices remain in local control. The debate has been eye-opening for many and should encourage cities to make sure red-light cameras and photo radar systems are being used in a way that is truly focused on public safety and efficiency. With each advance in technology comes many questions about ethics and appropriate use. We are in the thick of the increasing prevalence of lenses that watch everything everywhere. In this case, better to refine it — the where, when and how of it all — rather than switch it off.

Getting divisive over diversity What an interesting couple weeks it has been for “diversity” in our country. A study in contrasts, if you will. In one corner is the strange case of the really, really rich old guy who, it turns out, is a racist. Donald Sterling, billionaire owner of the Los Angeles Clippers professional basketball team, was found to have made some really repugnant racist remarks to his personal assistant. How was he “found” to have done that? Well, turns out his personal assistant, who is 50 years his junior and used to be his mistress, tape recorded many of his conversations and then released some of them to the entertainment show “TMZ.” Yep, I was thinking the same thing: class act! And, in the other corner, is an opinion piece on the website Chalkbeat.org, in which Dr. Alphonzo Rodriguez, doctorate, comes within inches of accusing the new Jeffco School board president of being a racist. Apparently, at an April 3 study session, (and, by the way, I’m going to quote the article in the interest of accuracy) “Witt is on record as saying during a presentation by Ray & Associates regarding the attributes of a new Superintendent that he, ‘Was not interested in diversity.’” Further, “board members Lesley Dahlkemper and Jill Fellman requested that a bullet point about valuing diversity be included on a promotional flier recruiters would use to solicit applicants. Board President Ken Witt said he didn’t believe the flier needed to include that copy because cultural sensitivity should be expected of any candidate.” For that, Dr. Rodriguez called Mr. Witt’s comments “prejudiced,” accused he and other Board members of “disenfranchising our diverse student population,” and worried that our “reputation as a district (would) be viewed as racist and having no compassion.” We’ve come a long way, as a society, since slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow. Are we all the way there? Are we at a point yet where all God’s children are viewed on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin? No, we’re not My best friend from high school, the grandson
of Japanese immigrants, recounts how he was subject to awful racist verbal abuse after the Virginia Tech massacre a couple years back (perpetrated by an Asian man). So, no, we’re not there. But, for the most part, I think we are at a point where the majority of people recognize just how abhorrent racism is That’s why Donald Sterling was run out of Los Angeles in a, er, New York minute. And that’s why the charge of racism should be reserved for actual, honest-togosh examples of racism. Is it really so outlandish to say that cultural sensitivity should be expected of candidates? And, honestly, the list of attributes that describe a good candidate for superintendent is as long as my forearm — I would be surprised if there are 30 people in the whole country who qualify (and even more surprised if more than five of them are willing to take the salary). I think there are higher priorities than checking off another box on the demographic profile. Actual racism is foul and moronic, but, sadly, there will always be morons. And, sometimes, there are simply anachronisms: sad men and women living in an age that has passed them by and with, at best, a tenuous grasp of reality, easily manipulated by cheap courtesans. Not worth our hate — just our pity. However, specious charges of racism where none exists does real harm to the cause of equality, also. It betrays a weakness of actual argument, desensitizes people to actual racism, and is the rhetorical equivalent of Alcorn continues on Page 9

Innovators keep state economy expanding Colorado is known worldwide for our endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, our 300-plus days of sunshine a year, and even our diversity of craft brewers. We have also developed a solid reputation as a hub for invention and innovation. Colorado companies have an entrepreneurial spirit that is driving new ideas, spurring economic growth, and creating jobs. Recently, we saw some of this firsthand, touring companies across the state that are thriving because of their innovative products and solutions. From Grand Junction to Fort Collins, Colorado companies are focused on inventing the future. In Boulder, we met with the owners of Newton Running. Their advanced sole technology is propelling both runners — and the Newton business — faster and farther. In Grand Junction, we visited Tim and Christy Fry, who moved here from Ohio to invest in Colorado-developed technology because of our great quality of life and business-friendly climate. Their company, Mountain Racing Products, makes top-of-the-line biking components that are shipped all over the world, and they employ nearly two dozen Coloradans. We also stopped by Western Slope Industries, the only U.S.-based manufacturer of large, industrial machines that fold and seal packages for food products. They employ more than 60 people in their 45,000-square-foot facility. In Fort Collins and Loveland, we toured the VanDyne SuperTurbo Headquarters and the engines lab where the company tests its equipment. VanDyne’s patented SuperTurbo engine combines a turbocharger and a transmission into one device, improving fuel efficiency and horsepower while reducing emissions. The SuperTurbo can power the likes of city buses, Caterpillar bulldozers, and John Deere tractors. Finally, in Park Hill, we saw Never Summer Industries turn blocks of locally sourced wood into high-quality skis and snowboards. Never Summer is one of only a handful of companies still manufacturing snowboards in the United States, producing more than 240 snowboards a day. All of these companies are building success through innovation. And one
thing almost all of them have in common is patented technology. You may not know it, but that convex and concave design on your Never Summer snowboard is original, patented technology. And that distinctive pop sensation you feel on the balls of your feet when you’re running in a Newton shoe? That’s patented too. So is Western Slope Industries’ machine process that makes the cardboard packaging that holds your morning orange juice. The patent process is an important part of our state’s economy, helping inventors and entrepreneurs build successful businesses, generate revenue, and create new jobs. That’s one of the reasons we coordinated a statewide effort to bring a satellite patent office right here to Colorado. The opening of the United States Patent and Trademark Satellite Office this summer in Denver — one of only four cities nationwide selected to house a satellite office — benefits firms like these by providing an improved and more accessible patent process. That means reduced review times for patent applications, reduced costs for patent filers, and more access to U.S. Patent and Trademark Office resources throughout the process. Plus, it will create hundreds of direct and indirect jobs and add roughly $440 million in economic activity to our state. Colorado’s deeply embedded culture of innovation has established our state as a destination for inventors, innovators, and new ideas. The opening of the USPTO satellite facility solidifies this reputation. From energy-efficient engines to high-tech running shoes, companies throughout our state are creating a bright future and propelling our state forward.

Gatsby at the Arvada Center Ambivalent. In a word, that was my reaction to the Arvada Center’s current production, “The Great Gatsby.” It is a rare thing for me to be less than enthusiastic about anything I see at the AC, but this offering left me a bit cold. What it amounts to is that I’m just not over the moon about this story and that’s obviously no fault of the theater. The storyline is somewhat hard to follow although the stage play is far less esoteric than the movie. Set in the 1920s, a time of few boundaries ... especially for the wealthy, the liquor flows freely (in spite of prohibition), and Jay Gatsby is able to establish himself as a self-made millionaire. Gatsby has set his sights on Daisy, a beautiful, young, married socialite. The story is told by Nick Carraway, next door neighbor of Gatsby and cousin of Daisy. The intertwined relationships spiral out of control and the result is tragic. I was enchanted by the gorgeous costuming. The technical aspects of the production were, as usual, impeccable. But using the Black Box Theatre instead of the Main Stage Theatre caused things to be a bit under scaled and the actors would have benefited from a larger space. At

“Glorious” by Jeff Guinn 2014, Putnam $26.95 / $31 Canada 407 pages Everybody deserves a second start. You’d never begrudge a down-on-hisluck fellow a new lease on life. It’s his right to begin over, to get another chance to fix what broke, and to seize new opportunities. Yep, a clean slate does a body good and, as you’ll see in “Glorious” by Jeff Guinn, it keeps him from getting killed. Cash McLendon always had a knack for people skills. It started when he was young, when he convinced businessmen not to fire his nogood, alcoholic father. It continued when his father died, and McLendon talked his way into a place to sleep and a clean-up job where he eavesdropped for gossip that he passed to factory owner Rupert Douglass. His industriousness impressed Douglass enough to take the young man under his wing, into his home, and into his family. Finally, McLendon had everything he’d ever wanted in life – money, power, and status – but it came with a price. Douglass’ daughter, Ellen, was prone to fits of whitehot anger and irrationality, and McLendon hoped he’d grow fond of her after their marriage. Still, he couldn’t forget Gabrielle, the woman he really loved. She was on his mind, in fact, as he fled St. Louis after Ellen was found dead by her own hand. McLendon knew Douglass would find him, just as he knew Douglass would blame him for Ellen’s suicide. So, partly as a hiding place and partly as a second chance at love and life, McLendon followed Gabrielle to Glorious, Texas. Perched near the Pinal Mountains, Glorious was little more than half-finished shacks and a few tents surrounded by desert and Apache territory. It boasted a hotel and a drinking establishment, a livery, a Chinese laundry, and a dry goods
store that serviced the miners. It was dry, sticky-hot, dangerous, and dying; few visitors ever came through and fewer stayed, though residents hoped Glorious’ nearest neighbor might help save the town. Wealthy rancher Colin MacPherson owned most of the valley anyway – and early in his stay, Cash McLendon knew that MacPherson wanted to own Glorious, too… Set in 1872, “Glorious” is a surprisingly modern old-time western that starts out with a gruesome murder but tames almost immediately. That’s good for readers who want an mystery rather than bloodand-torture, but not so good for anyone who wants a little more gunsmoke and gunslinging. While I liked the basic premise of this book, I wasn’t wild about Cash McLendon. Author Jeff Guinn makes McLendon quite the dandy, uncomfortable on a horse and unable to shoot, which seemed to be the antithesis of a western hero to me. I also had some problem with the book’s predictability and the choppiness. Still, there were some surprises in the story and enough Old West to keep me occupied until the cliffhanger ending. If mysteries have a subgenre called “cozy,” this slower-paced western could be said to be a “mosey.” It’s leisurely with some spice and, despite its flaws, ain’t all bad. And if that’s what you need, then “Glorious” is a book you should start.

‘Lyle the Crocodile’ waddles into Arvada Center By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com The key to children’s theater is to just tell the story, and let the children come to it in their own way. That’s the guide that the actors are bringing to the season’s production of “Lyle the Crocodile,” a comedic romp filled with laughter and music. Based on Bernard Waber’s children’s favorites, “The House on East 88th” and “Lyle, Lyle Crocodile,” “Lyle” was adapted for the stage by Kevin Kling with music by Richard Gray. It is directed by Billie McBride. The show will be running at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through May 23. Performances are at 10 a.m. and noon on Tuesdays through Fridays, and some Saturdays at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. “The show is incredibly fun and energetic,” said Melissa Swift-Sawyer, who plays six different characters. “It’s a happy little show about a crocodile that turns up in a family’s bathtub and turns their lives upside down.” Lyle

The Primm’s neighbor, Mr. Grumps (Daniel Langhoff), is less than pleased with the new resident, and try to lock the reptile in the zoo. It’s up to the Primms to save their new friend from captivity. The characters include Hector (Michael Bouchard), Joshua (Sarah Grover), Mrs. Primm (Emma C. Martin), Miss Nitpicker (Boni McIntyre), Mr. Primm (Brian Murray), and Moving Man (Andrew Russell). For some of the cast this is the first taste of
children’s theater, and for others like SwiftSawyer, introducing children to the stage has been a passion for many years. “This is my first stab at children’s theater and it’s been great,” said McIntyre. “Watching their faces light up as the show goes along is just fantastic.” Redford said that the role of Lyle is a challenging one, since he doesn’t speak or make any sounds. Instead he has to rely on facial expressions and body movement to convey what he’s thinking. “Lyle is the nicest character you’re going to see,” he said. “When he meets someone, he sees their real heart. I think he offers the kids a real lesson because Lyle loves everyone for who they are.” Swift-Sawyer, McIntyre and Parker all raved about the quality of the costumes in the production, noting that the bulk of them were designed almost straight out of the books. For everyone involved, one of the best parts of being in children’s theaters are the “tech talks” that the cast gets to have with the audience after the show. “They ask some fantastic and are so smart,” Redford said. “You really can’t play down to them, because they notice everything.” Swift-Sawyer said that theater is a great experience for children because it’s a great outlet, especially for the shy children who have a hard time speaking up. “In this age of electronic entertainment, it’s important that kids have the experience of live entertainment,” McIntyre said. “And I get to dance with a crocodile — you can’t beat that.” For more information, call 720-8987200 or visit www. arvadacenter.org.
The Colorado Symphony Orchestra, the bastion of classical taste and the guardian of musical tradition, is encouraging patrons to bring pot to the party during Classically Cannabis: The High Note Series, which marks a growing partnership between the CSO and the burgeoning cannabis industry in Colorado. Clever those symphony folks, who, for this series, seem to be swapping black tie for Rasta wear. Ganja! The High Note Series will be at The Space Gallery, 400 Santa Fe Drive, and all proceeds will benefit the Colorado Symphony. Classically Cannabis themes include Pan American Highway on May 23, Mississippi Blues Highway on July 18 and Summer Monsoon on Aug. 15. The series will culminate with a Red Rocks concert on Sept. 13; details to be announced soon. Note that the consumption of cannabis at Red Rocks is prohibited by law. “This partnership is part of an overall effort to reach out to every segment of our community,” said Jerome H. Kern, the Colorado Symphony’s CEO and, with Mary Rossick Kern, co-chair of its board of trustees. “Like the Colorado Symphony, the cannabis industry is entrepreneurial, innovative and responsive to the people of Colorado. These businesses have expressed a willingness to support the Colorado Symphony’s mission. Our doors are open to any legal, legitimate business that wants to help.” Since the symphony announced this cutting-edge musical series last week, spokeswoman Laura Bond says, “We’ve been pleased and energized by the response so far. … We’ve heard from people in Los Angeles, Australia, all over the country and the world. People recognize that this is a bold move, not without risks, and most have applauded the effort.”

Tin Cup II opens
Cindy Jones, the affable owner of the Tin Cup restaurant at Aurora Hills Golf Club, has stretched her spatula to add the eatery at Fitzsimons Golf Course to her culinary resume. Jones, who officially took over the Fitz restaurant in January, has been sprucing up the golfers’ 19th hole and has brought the Tin Cup’s breakfast and lunch menus to the new place. The Tin Cup, which for my money is the best public golf course restaurant in Aurora, features homemade breakfast burritos as well as house-fried tortilla chips and house-made salsa, with several grab and go items for golfers on their way to the next hole. Jones also hired Rose Decker, who famously worked at the long-gone Plainsman in Aurora for 20 years, as the manager at the newly named Tin Cup II. “(Decker) is such a go-getter and makes everyone feel so welcomed,” Jones said. “We’re getting great feedback from everyone and we have very reasonable prices, and people are coming from the hospitals and (other office buildings in) that area to eat.

Why would my boyfriend leave me? Dear Neil: My boyfriend was blessed with very good looks, and he knew how to be charming, and I was falling in love. He confessed to me that he has been fickle in his previous relationships and that he invests as little of himself as possible. But he also told me that if I did not do him wrong, he would stay with me and love me. Eventually he confessed his emotions for me were growing stronger, that he couldn’t be without me and he feared that I would leave him. He even started interpreting things I said to him as evidence that I was going to break up with him, and his behavior grew unpredictable. He would tell me that he loved me, and then would act completely uninvolved. The next thing that happened is that he accused me of planning to
dump him, and he cut me off completely. A month later, he was in a full-blown relationship with someone else, and I’m sure he is doing the same thing with her. I know I should have heeded the warning signs, but I got drawn in completely. Jilted Woman Dear Jilted: The gentleman you described felt so insecure and afraid of being abandoned, that at the first sign that you may not be willing to lay down your life to be with him, he bolted for the door. Likely this is only marginally related to anything you said or did.

One more thing you might want to do is break out a set of wrenches and make sure all your bolts on the bike are good and tight. Motorcycles
These were his fears, born from his own past or his own poor self-esteem or lack of self-worth, and they controlled his behavior. He needed massive amounts of reassurance all the time, or he assumed you would dump him. But if that is the case, how would he ever be able to work through the challenges, the spats, the hurt feelings or the disagreements every intimate relationship experiences? The likely answer? He can’t, and he is therefore destined to repeat this scenario over and over again with different women. No one can be reassuring all the time, and that’s what it sounds like he was requiring. Of course, it could be that he deceived you, and that his emotions for you were not genuine or real, and that you were duped.

But giving him the benefit of doubt, why someone would do what he did? He was trying to protect himself from being vulnerable, so he approached a relationship with you on-guard, armored and defended. People who are emotionally armored create a lot of distance — by not putting a lot of effort into the relationship, by being disconnected or distracted, by not giving a relationship a lot of time or making it a high priority, by getting angry a lot (anger pushes people away), by indulging an addiction (the addiction will become more important than you), by being highly judgmental, critical or controlling — or by fostering other romantic relationships on the side, to name a few.

ing himself emotionally removed so he didn’t risk getting hurt. But there is no joy or satisfaction in being so held back, so in the end, he sacrificed being in a happy, loving relationship in order to feel safe. And until he fixes himself, he won’t let himself get terribly close to anyone he enters a relationship with. Lick your wounds and grieve out the loss of this relationship.

Mustangs, Farmers take to the playoff field Jeffco teams scattered throughout playoff brackets By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ coloradocommunitymedia.com ARVADA - The state soccer playoffs have arrived, and Jeffco has several teams scattered all over the 5A, 4A and 3A brackets which were released late last week. But does Jeffco have a team that has the goods to make a deep playoff run? Not only must you have a great team to make a great playoff run, but you also have to have a favorable bracket draw. 5A’s Ralston Valley was tabbed as a No. 10 seed who will host No. 23 Boulder (7-62, 6-3-2 in league) on Tuesday. The Mustangs (12-3, 6-2 in league) had an outstanding season where they tied for the best 5A Jeffco overall and league record. However, they lost the tiebreaker and the league title to Columbine, who allowed one less goal in league play, to earn the league crown. Will Ralston Valley dwell on the loss or use it as motivation? Wheat Ridge was the class of 4A Jeffco and by season’s end turned into one of the best teams in all of 4A soccer. The Farmers earned a No. 6 seed and will host No. 27 Discover Canyon (7-7-1, 2-4-1 in league) on Wednesday. Wheat Ridge dominated 4A Jeffco this season earning a league championship and giving up only a single goal in seven league play games. The Farmers, who have a championship pedigree, could be Jeffco’s best bet in terms of potentially getting to the championship game. No. 12 Green Mountain will host No. 21 Longmont (9-5-1, 3-3-1 in league) on
It is hard for the competition to catch up with No. 12 Green Mountain junior Kristin O’Brien but the playoffs have arrived and the Rams will face No. 21 Longmont on Wednesday. Photo by Daniel Williams Wednesday. The Rams (12-2-1, 5-1-1 in league) feature super-talented senior goalie Lindsey Hendon and are considered a dark horse who has a chance to make a run in this tournament. Also in the 4A bracket is Golden seed-
ed at No. 23. The Demons (6-8-1, 4-2-1 in league) will travel to No. 10 Lewis-Palmer (9-3-3, 4-2-1 in league) on Wednesday and face a Rangers’ team that is very good. And not technically a Jeffco team but a team in the Jeffco area is Faith Christian who was named a No. 15 seed who will
host No. 18 Evangelical Christian (13-2, 4-2 in league) on Friday. The Lady Eagles (10-5, 5-4 in league) are perhaps a better team than their No. 15 seeding, but they will also have to go out and prove it.
Hendon holds the record 40 shutouts and counting for Green Mountain goalie By Daniel Williams

LAKEWOOD - Lindsey Hendon is stingy — but in a good way. Hendon is historically stingy in fact, particularly when it comes to giving up goals, as the Green Mountain senior goaltender just became the Colorado state record holder when she recorded her 40th career save in a 10-0 victory over Colorado Springs Christian Tuesday at Lakewood Memorial Field. Hendon has 55 wins over her illustrious career with the Rams, with 40 of those — and counting — coming as donuts for her opponents. While CHSAA doesn’t officially keep
soccer statistics, on their website they credit Overland’s Lisa Griffin as the previous record holder of 39. Griffin graduated after the 1988-89 season. Hendon has made 221 saves in her career which translates to a ridiculous 0.631 goals-against average. Ten of her 40 shutout have come this season while 11 came as a junior, 10 as a sophomore and even as a freshman Hendon recorded nine shutout victories. This season, Hendon and her Green Mountain teammates earned a No. 12 seed and will host No. 21 Longmont (9-5-1, 3-31 in league) on Wednesday. The Rams (12-2-1, 5-1-1 in league) are looked at as a dark horse who could make some noise in the state tournament. And why shouldn’t they be? They have one of the greatest goalies in the history of Colorado high school soccer. Hendon is an incredible 55-6-6 over her career and is a Iowa State recruit.

DENVER — Colorado’s hockey team is playing for the championship. No, not those guys, the Denver Cutthroats, who are right in the middle of the President’s Cup Finals against the reigning champion Allen Americans. After the Cutthroats and the Americans split the first two games of the Central Hockey League series at the Denver Coliseum, the action was bound for Texas where the teams will play games 3, 4 and 5. (Results of games in Texas were not available before press time.) If necessary, game 6 and game 7 will be played back in Denver, and considering how the series opened with had two dramatic games — one with a spectacular individual effort and the next with a double overtime finish — it could go the distance. Game 1 of the series featured an outstanding performance from A.J. Gale, who scored a Finals’ record four goals, helping the Avalanche minor league affiliates hold off the Americans (Dallas Stars organization) for a 5-4 victory May 2 at the Denver Coliseum. Denver took a 3-0 lead early in the second period before Allen managed to tie the game up 3-3. Gale then scored two third-period goals, and the Cutthroats were able to hold off the Americans. Game 2 was a different story, as ovideAllen a beat Denver 5-4 in overtime ovide atathe Coliseum. nts where The they Americans were the ones in front early in Game 2, up 2 goals to nts where they

Keeping the Faith Lady Eagles nearly knocked off state’s No. 1 team By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com
Despite losing their best player A.J. Gale to injury the Cutthroats’ crowd tried to lift their team Saturday at the Denver Coliseum. The Cutthroats were beat 5-4 in overtime. Photo by Daniel Williams none. But the Cutthroats, without Gale, came charging back to take a 3-2 lead. Gale, who not only had four goals in Game 1, but seven in his previous two games, was injured early in the action and never returned. Gale was checked into the boards in the first period and needed to be helped off the ice. Head coach Derek Armstrong said Gale sustained a lower body injury and was hospitalized. No penalty was called on the hit, but give credit to the Cutthroats for finding a way to force overtime at 4-4. The Americans cashed in just two minutes into the second overtime when Allen forward Jamie Schaafsma beat Denver goalie Kent Patterson with a beautiful shot up top. With the series tied 1-1, Allen will host the next three games under the league’s 2-3-2 playoff system with Game 3 scheduled for May 7.
BROOMFIELD - Battle-tested could be the theme for the Lady Eagles as they prepare for their first round playoff opponent. Faith Christian girls’ soccer ended its season with a tough loss to the 3A state tournament’s top ranked team Jefferson Academy falling 2-1 Sunday at Jefferson Academy. But the loss also showed the Eagles that they can compete with anybody, as the Jaguars are considered by many to be 3A’s best team. And Faith Christian actually put a scare into Jefferson Academy, scoring first when senior Caroline Jenkins beat Jaguars’ junior goaltender Kassidy Hastings in the first half. However, Jefferson Academy got its act together in the second half and scored a pair of goals. Junior Heidi Wendt and senior Ally Thimsen both scored for the Jaguars. Even though the Eagles threatened late, they never scored the equalizer. But it also should be noted that Faith Christian senior goalie Macy Pearman was a big factor in keeping the game close, making several brilliant saves down the stretch. The loss for the Eagles was a tough one, especially considering they had a 1-0 lead. But few teams have been able to compete

Faith Christian junior Jalaah Roberts delivers on outlet pass during the Eagles’ 2-1 win even though her Peak to Peak opponent doesn’t want to let her pass Thursday at Faith Christian High School. Photo by Daniel Williams with Jefferson Academy. The Eagles beat Peak to Peak 2-1 Thursday at Faith Christian High School. In that contest it was actually Peak to Peak who scored a lone first half. Faith Christian then scored two second half goals to come back and beat the Pumas, getting goals from senior Madison Batug and sophomore Brittany Johnson. The win over Peak to Peak was the Eagles’ fourth over a five
game span and it helped bring Faith Christian back in the mix of teams that can potentially make a deep playoff run. The Eagles were tabbed as a No. 15 seed who will host No. 18 Evangelical Christian (13-2, 4-2 in league) on Friday. But if Faith Christian (10-5, 5-4 in league) would have found a way to beat Jefferson Academy on Sunday they would have surely earned a top ten seed in the state tournament.
