Traffic cameras not going away Measure hits brick wall upon reaching House By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com 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, DDenver, had pretty much accepted its defeat before it Report even got there. Senate Bill 14 would have prohibited local governments from using photo-radar 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 stripped-down 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 going to get the money for this, Mr. Speaker?” The bill’s last chance for survival would have allowed it to go to a vote in the full House, where it could have been amended to its original form. But the committee rejected that motion. Ferrandino knew there wasn’t much

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 improvement 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 ThanksgivHonors continues on Page 12

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.

Sustainability goes WEST Partnership allows for best practice sharing By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com A unique partnership is yielding environmental dividends, as the West Environmental Sustainability Team announced a five-part video series to encourage sustainability in the community. The WEST team — made up of the City of Lakewood, Department of Energy, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Red Rocks Community College and the U.S. General Services Administration — will be releasing videos online on a variety of topics, from how residents, students and employees can reduce energy consumption, improve transportation options, save water, protect air quality and use innovative technology to make sustainable choices. “It’s part of our mission to share best practices and we’ve done a lot of projects together,” said Sue Damour, GSA Rocky Mountain Regional Administrator. “In the past we’ve done programs sharing what works best and collaborated on energy audits.” According to Kit Lammers, communi-
opened registration for the 2014 summer. Kids, teens and adults can sign up online at jeffcolibrary.org/summerreading or at any JCPL location. The Summer Reading Club runs 1-July 31, and fosters literacy and learning over the summer months while children are not in school. As part of the program, the library will offer a game card format for participants to record their progress. The game card offers an easy way to log activities and complete game card activities in order to win prizes.
County Shred-a-Thon The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office will hold its annual Shred-a-Thon on Saturday, May 17, from 7 a.m. to noon. Shred-it, Inc. will be providing on-site shredding for personal documents such as bank statements, bills and old taxreturns. This event is a major fundraiser for Crime Stoppers, and tax-deductible donations are encouraged. The process is a drive-thru and drop off for residents to bring three boxes or plastic grocery bags
of documents per vehicle. Documents will be shredded on-site and then recycled. The shredders will chew through metal binders and clips, so there is no need to remove staples, paperclips or other metal pieces. May is Colorado’s Archaeology & Historic Preservation month Jefferson County Historical Commission and the Boettcher Mansion are hosting acclaimed photographer, John Fielder in celebration of Archaeology and Historic Preservation month. The free event will be 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 13, at the Boettcher Mansion, 900 Colorow Road in Golden. Desserts and beverages will be served and RSVPs are required. Fielder will be presenting his most recent works including Denver Mountain Parks: 100 Years of the Magnificent Dream and Colorado’s Great Outdoors: Celebrating 20 Years of LotteryFunded Lands, featuring photographic sites located within Jefferson County. For more information and/or to RSVP, contact Dennis Dempsey at ddempsey@ jeffco.us or call 303-271-8734.
What's happening this Week?
cations manager with Lakewood, since the city has been a long-term partner with the GSA for several years, joining the WEST Team seemed like a natural fit. “The idea for the videos are that each agency would make one on a topic that is their specialty,” he explained. “We want to get everyone who lives and works in the area to get interested in this kinds of practices.” The first video is already available for viewing and focuses on how to save money by being energy efficient and gives tips on energy efficiency, saving water, and “green” cleaners. The other topics will include energy and water consumption programs, weatherization, waste reduction and alternative transportation. Damour said the GSA leads the way in a lot of sustainability projects, from clean water to energy efficiency, and that sharing these practices via social media is an inexpensive way to spread the word. “It’s all about good relationships to make a cleaner planet,” she said. Both Damour and Lammers said that with four videos still to produce and all kinds of practices to enact, there is still a lot to do for everyone. To watch the videos, visit www.lakewood.org/GetGreen or search Lakewood8 on Youtube.

Creighton student in finals for Google doodle By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Who ever said that doodling is a waste of time? Ryan Shea, a 7th-grader from Creighton Middle School, can attest to the fact that doodling can lead to big things after it was announced that his work, “The Universal Nexus” is the state winner in Google’s seventh annual Doodle 4 Google contest. The theme for this year’s competition is, “If I could
invent one thing to make the world a better place ... ” and was open to K-12 students around the country. “I was thinking about what awaits us when we visit different worlds, and after a lot of sketching came up with this drawing,” Shea said. “From there I was able to shape it in the way I envisioned.” Shea’s victory was announced to Creighton’s 7thgraders during an assembly on April 29, with representatives from Google and Lakewood Mayor Bob Murphy on hand.
“When people ask me what my favorite part about being mayor is, I tell them it’s getting the chance to go into schools and meet with you,” Murphy told the assembled students. “I’m filled with pride to be mayor of the home of the state winner for Colorado.” The winners for each state were all announced on April 29, and people have until May 9 to vote for the winners at www.google. com/doodle4google/vote. html. Google will announce five national finalists and
one of them as the national winner on May 21 at an awards ceremony at its headquarters in Mountain View, California, which all 50 state winners will be invited to. The winning student will work with Google’s team to animate their doodle, which will be shown on the site’s homepage on June 9. The winner will also receive a $30,000 college scholarship and their school will receive a $50,000 Google for Education grant to help its technology program. Benna Wise, an industry
analyst, and Ruchi Behl, marketing manager, both from Google, were on hand to talk to students about the fun things that company has cooking to better provide the world with information about everything. “Our goal is to organize the world’s information and make it easy and accessible,” they said. “We’re always trying to come up with new things like Google Maps and Google Translate.” Shea said that students began working on the doodle project in Maurine

Lakewood – According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn

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 7

Cooke’s behavior and resulting suspension are simply ammunition 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 drop-yourgloves fighting, not intentional acts meant to injure another player. What strikes me, though, is the use of
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

yelling “shut up!” Policy disagreements aren’t necessarily because of character flaws — if you can’t make your case without impugning
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 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.

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.
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.

‘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.”

the Sheridan transportation hub by increasing walking and bicycling and aims to make the community safer. “The program helps us to do catalytic work along the line and we’re focusing on the area around the Sheridan station,” said Alexis Moore, associate planner with the city of Lakewood. “Since Sheridan is on the border of these two communities, some might feel like it hasn’t received enough attention from either.” The West Line Corridor Collaborative — a multi-jurisdictional and mult-agency partnership of public and private agencies — is overseeing the implementation of the 20-Minute Neighborhood, which extends roughly a half-mile in all directions from the Sheridan station. Some of the main agents of change in the Sheridan area are groups like the Two Creeks Neighborhood Organization — the first registered neighborhood organization
in Lakewood. “These are very engaged people in our neighborhood, as well as around Sheridan,” said Cynthia Vitale, a member of Two Creeks. “We’re different than everyone else along the light rail and are working to have that fact recognized.” Work on the program began in the fall of 2013, when Lakewood started working the neighborhood to see what kinds of things it was important to have nearby, according to residents. Moore said the work being done by the implementation program is not designed in any way to change the land uses in the area, but instead make it easier to get to the kinds of things residents need without a car. “The idea is that you can live in the area without owning a car — you can access job sites along the rail and the other things you need are withing walking distance,” she said. “We want to give people options to get around easily.” Vitale said that one of the top things that residents in the area want is access to healthy food options. “A lot of people in our area do garden-

ing on their own, but we wanted access to a variety of organic food,” she said. “So we gained the Mountair Park Community Farm from Sprout City.” Ground was broken for the new community farm on March 18, and during the summer volunteers from Sprout City and the community will be taking care of the new crops. The garden will also serve as a community gathering place, which is one of the things that Moore said she heard a lot about the need for when the project started. Bike signage is also being installed to help guide bicyclists and pedestrians between the Sheridan Station and Mountair Park and the W Line bike trail. Moving forward, Moore said the organization will be working with consultants to finalize a draft of the implementation strategy document, which will prioritize some of the ideas and plans for the area. “We heard that the neighborhoods don’t want Sheridan to be a wall between the
communities,” Moore said. “We want to increase awareness of what’s in the area, and honor and respect that communities that have been involved for so long.” For more information, visit www.westlinecorridor.org.

Getting an early start Alameda High School offers health care courses By Clarke Reader
creader@coloradocommunitymedia. com The health care industry is one of the few areas of the economy that has been steadily growing, and Alameda International High School has a new way to get students prepared for the field. The high school is the first in the met-
ro area to offer the International Baccalaureate Career-Related Certificate (IBCC) program, offering a curriculum in health careers. “We asked students what future areas they would like to see more of a focus in,” said Steve Houwen, IBCC program coordinator at Alameda. “The top answer was health-related areas, and so we were tasked with coming up with a program that will focus on getting them to entry-level certification. According to Susie Van Scoyk, principal at Alameda, one of the most unique

things about the program will be the opportunity for students to earn a bilingual certificate in medical terminology. Houwen and Van Scoyk said that there are already eight teachers in the IBCC diploma program, and that will increase to help with the new medical courses. “We’re really opening up access to a rigorous education, and the students are stepping up,” Van Scoyk said. In addition to the course work that students will have to complete, one of the requirements is a community service project that is dictated by the commu-

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.

Shrader prepares for primaries
To infinity and beyond
Experience and history will highlight campaign for Sheriff
creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com
By Amy Woodward
awoodward@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Since his early days as a deputy in the county jail, Jeff Shrader has climbed through the ranks during his almost 30year tenure at the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. As the Jeffco GOP pick for sheriff, there are few issues facing the county that Shrader isn’t aware of. “Being efficient with the resources I don’t think is any secret,” Shrader said in regards to deputy attrition rates. “There are some challenges, and it goes well beyond the sheriff’s office, it’s really a county governShrader ment- wide issue.” He has supervised divisions throughout the sheriff’s department, from Patrol and Investigations Divisions, Detentions Division and Support Services Division which gave him the opportunity to manage the sheriff’s office’s $90 million budget. He is currently a division chief for special projects including the $34.8 million construction project that will replace the Sheriff’s complex’s central heating and cooling systems while creating more space for “court holdings” and create a regional forensic crime lab. Shrader is proud for taking part in the development of the project but not for the political decision to spend almost $35 million to fund it. He developed the Strategic Management
and Accurate Response Tactics or SMART Jeffco, a program designed for deputies, supervisors and command level ranks to help them identify current crime conditions and implement crime-reduction techniques. Ultimately, Shrader has a long resume filled with creating and supervising projects, and being involved with a variety of functions and responsibilities while receiving continued training and education. His issues for his campaign include keeping schools and residents safe, protecting constitutional rights, ensuring efficiency with department resources and protecting businesses. In the nearly three decades he has worked at the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office, Shrader has worked for five sheriffs and has experienced more than one school shooting. “Making sure that our schools are safe I think is paramount in the society that we live in,” he said. “I’m inspired by the events that I’ve been involved with that relate to school violence and our need to make sure the we’re doing everything that we possibly can that is reasonable to make sure that the schools are safe.” His position as division chief for special projects will wrap up at the end of the year after construction is completed. This summer, the regional crime lab will officially open for operation. “Part of my commitment is to make sure that Jefferson County is as safe as it possibly can be, that means that we have to keep a capable workforce in place,” he said. “We may have to reset some of the priorities that we have in order to do that.” “There is only one candidate who has proven leadership experience and that’s me.” For more information about Jeff Shrader visit www.shrader4sheriff.com.
Legislative town hall examines aerospace industry By Clarke Reader
One of Colorado and Jefferson County’s best kept secrets is that the area is one of the top locations for the aerospace industry. Attendees at Lakewood’s latest monthly legislative town hall heard about the industry and the international opportunities it brings. “I was completely amazed at all the areas aerospace touches,” said Sen. Cheri Jahn at the beginning of the discussion. “These are incredibly high paying jobs that just don’t have enough workers.” Vicky Lea, senior manager of Aerospace and Aviation at Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation, spoke about the ways Colorado, and Jeffco in particular, are leading the way to space. “Colorado is the third highest in the nation for private aerospace employment, and first in private sector aerospace workers per capita,” she said. “There are 169,810 aerospace jobs in Colorado, and the average salary is around $127,390.” Lea added that the 400 aerospace-related companies and seven different military stations all working in the field mean Colo-
rado is uniquely situated to offer a wide breadth of career opportunities. Programs at local colleges like University of Colorado and the Colorado School of Mines have partnerships in the industry that are offering students a chance to get involved early, she added. “Some of the huge projects that Colorado companies are working on are the James Webb Space Telescope, which is the
successor to the Hubble Telescope,” Lea said. “Companies are also working on the Dream Chaser Space System, which could be the next generation of space shuttle travel.” Michelle Claymore, vice president of the Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation, spoke about Jeffco’s roots in the aerospace industry, Infinity continues on Page 14

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 Capitol in cost over time Report — 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 members 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 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 op-
posed 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.

adding that Lockheed Martin is the largest private sector employer in the county. “Here in Jeffco we have around 6,000 employees who are connected to this industry,” she said. “We want to work hard to make sure we provide a business friendly environment for those in aerospace.” Joe Rice, former State Representative and current Lockheed Martin Space Systems Government Relations Director, highlighted some of the ways that the United States has fallen behind in the development of aerospace technologies, and the work being done to improve the situation. “The U.S. currently doesn’t have the ability to put our own astronauts in space — we have to go to Russia to get up there, and it costs around $72 million per astronaut,” he said.”We have found that the technology used in space travel can have huge impacts on life here on Earth.” Jay Lindell, Aerospace and Defense Industry Champion with the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, closed out the meeting by focusing on the importance of getting young people and students interested in science, math, engineering and technology. “This kind of school work is preparing them for the jobs of the future,” he said.
Schafer declines to seek fourth term By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com There will be no campaign for a fourth term for Rep. Sue Schafer (D-Wheat Ridge), and that’s the way she wants it so she can give all her attention to her family. “Being a lawmaker is an intense job, and I’ve done a lot of traveling for my work, so I want to spend more time with my daughters,” Schafer said. “This experience has been the greatest honor and privilege of my life representing the people of Jefferson County.” Schafer was first elected in 2008 and
held on to her seat through two more elections, and has worked on some important legislative issues during the past six years. “I always tried to focus on issues that were brought to me by my constituents, from children’s mental Schafer health care to civil unions,” she said. “One of the top things I worked on is elder care, especially since we have such a large elderly population in Wheat Ridge. There are seniors vulnerable to things like elder abuse, and they need help.”
One of the issues that Schafer is most proud to have worked on is ensuring that men and women pay equal costs for health care. She said she found out early on that insurance companies were charging almost uniformly higher rates for women, and worked to change that. “We had to stop these companies from treating being a woman as a preexisting condition,” she said. Bullying in schools is an issue close to Schafer’s heart, and throughout her time in the legislature, she worked to get teachers and other school officials the proper training required to stop this before it becomes a problem.
As for what she will do next, Schafer said she wants to continue working for Jefferson County, and would even like to work on Hillary Clinton’s campaign, should she run in 2016. During her six years in the House, Schafer said she learned about the diversity of people and opinions in Colorado and how despite the differences, people can still work together. “I learned the power of listening to people with different opinions,” she said. “The people I served with in the House are the most honorable people I’ve met. We’ve had our debates, but everyone is passionate about serving their district.”

Council recognizes sustainability leaders
303-566-4091
Sustainability was the focus of the night during the April 28 city council meeting, where the winners of the annual Sustainability Awards were announced. “This is a very special evening that we look forward to every year,” Mayor Bob Murphy said. “There have been some incredible nominations and winners, and it’s a great chance to get to recognizing something once a year that is going on year round.” Winners were split into three categories: Defender of the Planet Youth Awards, Bruce Peoples Eco-Employee Award for city employees and the Community Sustainability Award, which goes to individuals and groups in the community. Ward 5 Councilman Tom Quinn said that the nominees were judged based on how well they meet goals of Lakewood’s comprehensive plan, the positive impact they have on community, how they embrace innovation in their programs. The Defender of the Planet award went to Addison Brigner, a third-grader at Glennon Heights Elementary School, who grew her own cabbage which eventually grew to eight pounds. “She learned a lot about the source of food and gardneing skills,” Quinn said. “She enjoyed growing the cabbage so much she is raising ducks now, too.” There were two winners in the Eco-Employee category — Kyle Parker, a recreation employee, who started a recycling program by putting recycling bins in dugouts and take the items himself to be recycled. The other winner was Luke Wilson, who
started the Christmas TreeCycle Program at Bear Creek Lake Park. In the program Wilson and others sank live Christmas tress that were gotten rid of by residents into the lake to create an underwater habitat for insects and fish. There were two special recognition awards given for the Community Sustainability Awards category — Box and Ship Express, which was recognized for the way owner Bill Wright recycles and reuses the materials that go through his shop, and the Black Fence newsletter, an online newsletter created by William Spriggs to share environmental transportation news and information. The three winners in the Community Sustainability Awards were Metro West Housing, for their creation of the Lamar Station Crossing apartment complex, which is one of only three projects west of the Mississippi River to attain Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Neighborhood Development certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Red Rocks Community College received an award for its Aquaponics Project. The project is lead by the college’s Engineers for a Sustainable World program, who worked to create a system to grow vegetables for the school cafeteria. The final winner was the Eiber Community Garden. The garden was started by Lois Witte, and by working with Denver Urban Gardens, it allows students at Eiber Elementary School and neighborhood residents to learn about local food production while growing their own produce. For more information on the awards, visit www.lakewood.org/sustainabilityawards.

A-West wins league with style Lakewood finished season strong, looks to future By Daniel Williams dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com LAKEWOOD - Uncle Mo is carrying Arvada West baseball. Better known as momentum, the Wildcats used it to seal their 5A Jeffco league championship with a 14-5 victory Friday at Lakewood High School. Not only did Arvada West win a league
title in the state’s pound-for-pound toughest league, they did it going on an incredible run to finish their season. On Friday, the Tigers thought they could spoil their fortunes by upsetting the Wildcats but instead they were just another victim. A-West hit six home runs and they scores eight second inning runs, ending any upset bid Lakewood had planned. Arvada West senior Justin Mulvaney went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI. He also scored three times. In addition, senior Brody Hagel-Pitt hit two solo home runs, and senior Joe Rosenstein went 3-for-4 and hit a home run.
A-West’s offensive firework show is just further evidence that the Wildcats are the hottest team in the planet going into the playoffs. Arvada West started their season off with a pair of wins but then lost three straight games at the end of March. However, once 5A Jeffco league play opened up the Wildcats turned into a different team and simply beat everyone who got in their way. Not only was A-West good but they were historically great, beating three ranked Jeffco teams — Columbine, Ralston Valley and Chatfield — in a six day span. The Wildcats then capped off their
league championship by beating Pomona and Lakewood by a combined 17-5 runs. The Tigers on the other hand started their season as a .500 for the first month. But they then went on to lose nine straight games. Lakewood won two of the last four games of the season — both league wins — to try and set the tone for next season. The Tigers ended their season by beating Standley Lake 10-0 on the road, in a game that was ended in five innings. Lakewood junior Danny Collins went 3-for-3 with three RBI and junior Trevor Kehe went 2-for-3 with three RBI.
Hendon holds the record 40 shutouts and counting for Green Mountain goalie By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia. com
Green Mountain goalie Lindsey Hendon broke a state record with her 40th career shutout victory Tuesday in a 10-0 win over Colorado Springs Christian. Photo by Joe Makatura
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 shutouts 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.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF ApRil 28, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You might be tempted to be more assertive when dealing with a job-related matter. But a carefully measured approach works best at getting the cooperation you’re looking for. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) While others urge you to act now, you instinctively recognize that a move at this time is not in your best interests. You should know when to do so by week’s end. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A busy schedule keeps you on the move for much of the week. But things ease up by the time the weekend arrives, allowing you to reconnect with family and friends.
crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope
GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Travel dominates the week, and despite some delays in getting to where you want to go, the overall experience should prove to be a positive one in many ways. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Your leonine self-confidence comes roaring back after a brief period of doubt and helps you get through a week of demanding challenges and ultimately emerge triumphant. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Virgos who have made a major commitment -- personal or professional -should be able to tap into a renewed reservoir of selfconfidence to help them follow through. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You soon could receive news from a surprising source that could cause you to change your mind about how you had planned to deal with an ongoing job-related problem. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A surprise move of support from a colleague who has never been part of your circle of admirers helps influence others to take a new look at what you’ve put on the table. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) While a bold decision to take an “i know what i’m doing” approach impresses some colleagues, it also raises the risk of causing resentment among others. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A misunderstanding ‘twixt you and a friend might not be your fault at all, despite what he or she suggests. Talk it out to see at what point the confusion might have started. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Getting into a community operation fulfills the Aquarian’s need to help people. it also can lead to new contacts that might one day help you with a project. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A minor problem could delay the start of a long-anticipated trip for two. Use the time to recheck your travel plans. You might find a better way to get where you’re going.

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 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 seeded 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
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 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.
