Community corrections proposal raises concerns Lakewood planning commission must approve special-use permit By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com The proposed construction of a new $14 million building to house a community corrections facility at West 8th Avenue and Quail Street in Lakewood is raising concerns among neighbors. “Folks are upset, especially since there are so many similar facilities already in the area,” said Cici Keslar, president of Association & Community Management, a division of the Lakewood Realty Co. that manages homeowner associations all over the Denver area. “With this potentially coming in, they should just put a fence around the entire place.” The Developmental Disabilities Re-
source Center, which is headquartered near the proposed site, is gathering information but waiting to take a stance, said Ron Marquez, community relations manager with the center. Intervention Community Corrections Services is a nonprofit agency that provides transitional services for offenders approved for diversion from the Department of Corrections or who are transitioning from prison facilities to the community. Offenders may also be sent to the facility as a condition of parole and, in some cases, for mental health programs. Community corrections also provides mandatory services including work placement, money management, curfew, drug screenings and volunteer educational courses. The current facility is inside the historic New York Building on Kendall Street in Lakewood, which was built in 1922. The county has spent several years searching for a site and notes the facility requires heavy screening for applicants and is
managed by a professional, “top-notch” organization. “We feel like the community corrections program is a value for the county and community,” County Commissioner Casey Tighe said. “The program makes the community as a whole safer.” Jefferson County has entered into an agreement with Littleton Group LLC for the design-build and purchase of the Quail Street building and has set aside $9 million for the building. The county expects another $5 million to come from the sale of the New York Building, which is under contract with NY16Kendall LLC. But these types of facilities should be built in outlying areas or districts, Keslar said. She pointed out the county owns a lot of land where the county courthouse is located, and a facility could be built there. Association & Community Management hasn’t “jumped into the fight with both feet yet,” according to Keslar, but it Concerns continues on Page 18

Red Rocks breaks ground on new health campus Arvada expansion scheduled to open fall 2016 By Crystal Anderson

W
hen Michele Haney stepped onto the Red Rocks Community College campus in 2008, she envisioned something more — an Arvada campus with an identity of its own. On July 16, that vision came full circle as shovels hit the ground, marking the groundbreaking of the $22.5 million Red Rocks Community College Health Sciences Campus in Arvada. “My vision was to create an identity for the school in Arvada, and I am so excited we are doing just that,” Haney,
president of the college, said. “It’s almost like, for me, a dream come true — we’re there.” The two-story, 50,000-square-foot building, already under construction, will house the college’s health sciences programs such as radiology and phlebotomy, and offer several new sections such as nurse’s aide, RN refresher, health professional, medical assisting and office management, phlebotomy technicians, and sonography. The school also will house the physician’s assistant program through which students can now obtain a master’s degree. “We want to be as flexible and nimble as we can,” Haney said. “We know there’s going to be more and more opportunity for us and our programming to grow. I see the future of this campus being very, very broad because our students’ interests are very broad.” Campus continues on Page 18
Teachers’ union balks at contract length Jeffco school district wants 10-month agreement By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com
The Jeffco school district has offered teachers a 10-month contract, a term the union considers unacceptable. “We haven’t had less than a two-year agreement since the ’80s,” said JCEA spokesman Scott Kwasny. “Teachers want stability. They don’t want their representatives going back to the negotiation table in a few months.” After five months of open negotiations, the collective bargaining agreement’s term remains the main sticking point between the Jefferson County School District and the Jefferson County Education Association. The two entities agree on the document’s draft language. “A 10-month term allows us to revisit the entire contract and make adjustments to the provisions, most of which are completely new to Jeffco,” said Amy Weber, Jeffco’s chief human resources officer and member of the negotiation team. “Having a contract deadline of June motivates both sides to seriously consider what has worked this year and what should be reconsidered. We believe this process will lead to a more successful contract between the district and the JCEA.” The proposed 10-month contract, which would cover the period from Sept. 1 to June 30, includes language about the importance of having effective educators in the classroom, retaining school-level autonomy and optimizing teacher instructional time and schedules. The 41-page document also includes terms of employment between union teachers and the district. “We believe the draft collective bargaining agreement reflects the hard work at the table to accomplish these interests, as well as interests brought by JCEA,” Weber said. The district also likes how the 10-month period aligns with Jeffco’s budget process. But Lesley Dahlkemper, a member of the board minority, said this year’s process and the draft agreement is fiscally irresponsible and disrespectful to teachers. “Under this proposal, the district and the association will be back at the negotiating table in just over six months … ,” she said. “Our superintendent has a three-year contract — our teachers deserve the same.” According to Kwasny, JCEA sent an email to the board requesting an open-table discussion about the contract length. As of press time Tuesday, it was unclear whether the board would agree. Once both negotiating teams agree to a draft agreement, it goes to JCEA members for a vote. If teachers approve, it would then go to the school board for final approval. “It’s been a rocky road with the board, and teachers want stability — that’s what a multiyear bargaining agreement would bring,” Kwasny said. “We’re certainly willing to be at the table until midnight on Aug. 31 to get something worked out.” The current contract expires Aug. 31. Kwasny said JCEA is still negotiating in good faith but that it is too soon to tell what would happen if no agreement is reached by that date. Board President Ken Witt, who is out of town, responded in a text that, because of schedules, the board cannot meet before its Aug. 27 study session. “I appreciate the hard work of the district and JCEA negotiatiors and am pleased that so much progress has been made,” he said. “I am confident that the district will continue to represent the best interests of our students.”

FACES AMONG US
HELLO
A glimpse of the people in our community
... My Name Is
MOLLY HALPIN Sister of organ donor and Donor Alliance volunteer I was born and raised in Wisconsin, but moved out to Lakewood in 2013 because I was looking for a better job and I thought Colorado would have a better market.
Why I became involved I started volunteering with Donor Alliance because of my friend Kevin (May). He passed away in December of what we thought was a stroke, but turned out to be an inoperable brain tumor. Kevin and I were raised together in Wisconsin and he was like family — I always introduced him as my brother. As part of my grieving process, I wanted to dive in and get involved in honor of Kevin, since he donated four organs after he died.
What I’ve been doing I went through orientation with the Donor Alliance in March and started volunteering in April, which was also Donate Life Month. The training I went through was wonderful. I learned how to speak with correct terms and sensitivity. There have been so many advances in donations and technology that people don’t even think about. I met one gentleman whose granddaughter had to get a heart at around eight or nine months, and to see her brightens him every day. I have met a lot of people who came up

Courtesy photo to me and have said they have relatives or know someone who has received a donated organ, and I’ve participated at events like Denver Comic Con and Cinco de Mayo at Civic Center Park. I always have been a donor on my license — but now it means something more.
What I’ve learned I’ve met so many wonderful people — I’ve cried with them and shared stories with them. They’re my lifelong friends now. When it comes down to it, if you were to need something like a heart or kidney, wouldn’t you hope everyone who needed to said yes? Written by Clarke Reader.

Back to America’s roots RRCC hosts Curtis collection By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Red Rocks Community College is hosting an exhibit of “The Graham and Barbara Curtis Collection” through Aug. 11 in the Susan K. Arndt Gallery at its Lakewood campus. The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. “It is a really interesting collection of work that Graham began collecting in the ’70s,” said Deborah Dell, art faculty member at the college. “As the west was being explored, artists were taken along to capture the new world.” Life on a new continent — In prints created from 1822 to 1885, the life of Native Americans and frontier people, as well as flora and fauna, are catalogued in beautiful detail. Nearly 200 prints are on display in the school’s gallery and library and feature well-known artists like Albert Bierstadt,
Seth Eastman and John J. Audubon. “These works created a lot of excitement for people who wouldn’t see these places,” Dell said. “It made the story come alive.” Different themes — The library gallery focuses on prints of plants and animals captured in almost scientific detail, while the main gallery focuses on landscapes and peoples. The collection includes the diaries and surveys of early explorers and members of Western expeditions. The family business — The Curtis family, led mostly by Graham, became connoisseurs of prints and he collected more than 350 unique pieces of art. Kay (Graham’s and Barbara’s daughter) said it was important to her father that people see these prints because so few people had. “There are so many shows within the show that could be done,” Kay said. “He always felt that things that took so much time and care should be saved and that’s what he did.”

Neighborhood medical care becomes new normal Health services decentralize to reach area residents By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com As the health-care profession changes, so must the way health services are provided. In neighborhoods across the metro area, residents are seeing smaller primary care facilities and emergency rooms spring up to offer care that is more local and connected. Centura Health has opened Neighborhood Health Centers in Arvada, Golden and Lakewood and is working on a health and wellness center in Thornton. North Suburban Medical Center has two freestanding emergency rooms coming to Thornton and Westminster. SCL Health is building a communitybased hospital in Northglenn. “At our free-standing ERs, you get the benefits of our main hospital ER, with board-certified emergency physicians on staff 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” said Jennifer Alderfer, CEO of North Suburban Medical Center. “But you also get the convenience of a place near your home, where you can receive care quickly. Patients don’t want to have to wait long or drive far to

receive high-quality emergency care. Our expectation is that patients see a doctor within 10 minutes of arriving.” For some companies, like Centura, this kind of
neighborhood outreach has been the result of years of planning and development. Jeff Brickman, CEO of St. Anthony Hospital and president of Centura Health’s Mountains
North Denver Operating Group, said with increasing amounts of money being spent on health care, it was time to re-evaluate the way that care was provided. That re-evaluation inspired
Centura to provide more services where people work and live. “We’re moving upstream with our care — we want to do more by preventative care,” he said. “With our neighborhood centers, doctors can more assertively monitor the health of our patients and take care of them in an outpatient setting.” Local connection also means partnerships, and Centura has already started by working with Walgreens in Lakewood and Federal Heights. Centura’s Belmar Neighborhood Health Center is on the second story of the Walgreens at Wadsworth and Alameda, and is the first such design in the entire country, according to Teresa Daniels, marketing manager with St. Anthony Hospital. The Healthcare Clinic in Federal Heights in one of 16 select clinics in the state within a Walgreens store to partner with Centura Health. They offer increased access to care and medical services, particularly after hours and on weekends. Advances in technology and care options are also making these kinds of outpatient facilities more desirable for patients, said Brian Newsome, director of content services at SCL Health. “There are fewer and fewer health care conditions that require long
inpatient stays,” Newsome said. “The intent is to create a place where people can get these quicker services they need.” For residents in the same neighborhood as these new centers, it’s an exciting time to have such accessible care. “It’s the promise of Belmar and the promise of downtown,” said Lakewood resident Ken Parks, who will be moving just down the street from a neighborhood center. “This is an example of function following form, and is a good evolution for the community and in a business sense.”

Gratuity included on a busy day By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Lunchtime along Union Boulevard is a busy time, and stopping at any of the numerous restaurants in the corridor provides ample opportunity to see people breaking bread — literally and figuratively — with friends both old and new. It’s difficult not to think of the famous William Butler Yeats line about strangers being friends you haven’t met yet when you visit so many of these restaurants, no matter the size of the place. In the Potbelly Sandwich Shop one Friday, several diners went over to thank a World War II vet who was quietly eating his lunch. The scene was scored by the incredibly talented Art Crenshaw, a pianist and vocalist who plays soul music the way it’s supposed to be — simply, directly and with emotion pouring out. Crenshaw takes songs that perhaps would surprise some listeners, like Jackson Browne’s “Take It Easy” or “If You’re Happy and You Know It,” an imbues them with a deep river

of feeling. When he provides the responses to his own calls — “If you’re happy and you know it, say hello,” “Hello!” — there’s an infectious joy that cannot be ignored. The conversation among customers is simple and quick, two men leaning down to hear the responses to their questions, the conversation almost inaudible over the sound of food being prepared, conversation and music, and
smiles and handshakes all around. It’s obvious from the smile on the vet’s face he’s pleased by the brief visit, even if a simple act of gratitude feels insufficient in the face of the sacrifices men and women of that generation made. In the end, there’s only so much one can say in the face of dedication like that, and just like a lunch break on a busy day, it’s never enough.

Lakewood Heritage Center to participate in Blue Star Museums The Lakewood Heritage Center will serve the nation’s service members this summer as a 2015 Blue Star Museum, offering free museum admission to active duty military personnel and their families. The Blue Star program is a collaborative effort involving the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense and more than 2,000 museums in all 50 states to offer free admission to museums from Memorial Day through Labor Day. This year’s Blue Star museums represent history, fine art, science, nature centers and children’s museums. The free admission program is available to any bearer of a Geneva Convention common access card (CAC), a DD Form 1173 ID card, or a DD Form 1173-I ID card and up to five family members. This includes active duty Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard personnel as well as members of the National Guard and Reserve, U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and NOAA Commissioned Corps. The complete list of participating museums is available at www.arts.gov/bluestarmuseums and has more than doubled since the first year of the initiative in 2010.
“Comprehensive Lawn, Tree & Shrub Care.”
Arts for all: The idea for ReFrame was inspired by SCRAP Portland, a creative reuse center that kept all manner of materials from landfills by finding artistic ways to use them. Levine, a teacher at Compass Montessori in Golden, was inspired by the idea and wanted to put it to practice in the area. “We’re able to really slash prices on all the items we have here,” she said. “We’re the first public nonprofit creative business like this around.” All the pieces on display are made in house or during some of the many classes held for all ages at ReFrame. The center also hosts workshops, fundraisers and parties for both kids and adults.

Sustainability: For its inventive use of recycled materials, ReFrame received the 2015 Lakewood Community Sustainability Award and looks forward to sharing creative endeavors with the community.
3
Community outreach: ReFrame serves an open studio for area artists in need and relies on volunteers to keep running. ReFrame attends events like Ted Talks and FARMCAD to spread the word about opportunities available for creation. “I wanted to volunteer and they’ve been extremely receptive and welcoming. I help with pricing and get to make things for the inspiration, which shows people the kinds of things you can create,” said Rebecca Bowman, who works at ReFrame. “I love having the space and the freedom to try and experiment.”

Donations: Almost any material one could think of is available on the shelves at ReFrame. Yarn and tiles sit next to circuits and magazines. There are clothes, blankets and rugs that can be cut up for projects. Toys and woodblocks are also available for creative uses. Donations can be made at the center Thursday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Levine asks people only donate during these hours, since not all materials can be accepted.

Red Rocks team wins science competition By Clarke Reader creader@colorado communitymedia.com Red Rocks Community College’s project to help doctors and nurses in medical emergencies won the inaugural National Science Foundation’s Community College Innovation Challenge. Students Scotty Hall, Keya Lea Horiuchi, Nathan Tiedt and Kaia Chapman, working under faculty adviser Helena Martellaro, developed the Mobile Medical Disaster Relief Dispensation Unit that won first prize in the competition. The idea came from Hall as a way to mitigate confusion about which medicines to provide in a hectic situation. “We wanted to create something people can wear on their wrists that they can just swipe to get the medicine they need,” Horiuchi said. “Each step of the way we thought we’d just see what we can do, and didn’t expect to win like we did.” Students started working out of the college’s IDEA Lab in December and developed two prototypes of the machine — the second of which was the winning design. The device is made from 3-D printed parts and incorporates a motor, radio-frequency identification tracker, and Raspberry Pi computer chip to track the dispensation of medicine within a disaster area. All the work and design, coding and programming was done by the students, with the support of Applied Trust, an IT
company out of Boulder. “The doctors or nurses are able to swipe their tags, and the device will dispense the medication,” Martellaro said. “The machine also records what medicines were given, so drug administration can be tracked.” For the final competition, the top 10 teams attended a boot camp in Washington, D.C., where in addition to presenting their projects, teams received intensive training on pitching and marketing their creations. “There were classes on entrepreneurship, bringing products to markets and pitching like a professional,” Horiuchi said. “It was very eye-opening for all of us, but I learned a lot from the classes.” When the team was notified it won, everyone was shocked, Horiuchi said, but extremely pleased, especially since this was their first go. “I’m so proud of the students, and I think they had one of the best learning experiences any student can have,” Martellaro said. “They learned how to learn, and that is so important.” What the future holds for the team is still up in the air, but the team has a lot of momentum, according to Horiuchi. “It was great to use things we learned in books and apply it. We were able to take our code and make something physical,” she said. “The process became more real to all of us, and more accessible.” For more information on the IDEA lab, visit http://www.rrcc.edu/idea-lab.

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Many students may consider taking an Advanced Placement course daunting, a mentality more than 500 teachers in Colorado are trying to change. “The biggest part of teaching an AP class is instilling the confidence that ‘I can do this’ in our students,” said Michele Gillis, an AP language and literature teacher at Cedaredge High School on the state’s western slope. Gillis was among the many who attended the Colorado Education Initiative’s AP Summer Institute, which taught teachers from across the state, nation and more than 11 different countries how to recruit, support and retain students for Advanced Placement courses. The July 14-17 program took place on Metropolitan State University’s Auraria Campus in downtown Denver. Developed as an addendum to the initiative’s Colorado Legacy Schools program in 2011, the institute helps teachers not only increase the number of Advanced Placement students inside the classroom but also gives them retention strategies and skills to help increase students’ college readiness. “We know students have an unfortunate tendency not to graduate college-ready from high school,” said Greg Hessee, director of the Colorado Legacy Schools program. “We’re showing teachers strategies to recruit and retain historically underrepresented students … and we provide comprehensive professional development to help you figure it out.” During the institute’s first three days,
teachers focused on content-specific methods taught by a master teacher who helped develop a syllabus and curriculum to meet student needs. On the final day, teachers attended individual breakout sessions centered on the needs within their school or district, such as communicating with English language learners, parent communication, retention and AP recruitment. “For me, I have a little bit of a unique perspective,” said Kurt Hostetter, a former AP literature teacher at Arvada High School who attended this year’s institute. “I’ve been a student sitting in the classroom of the AP Institute and a teacher helping others retain students … It’s not like we dumbed it down but rather opened it up for all students.” Teachers learned a variety of skills to help students succeed. From the breakdown of word choice and sentence structure in a classic text to applying real-world situations to the complex terminology of calculus, the institute provided educators with adaptable skills to enhance learning inside their classrooms. “I’m leaving here with two notebooks full of teaching ideas,” Gillis said. “I’m so excited to read these really great books and to talk about them in a very sophisticated, college-level atmosphere ... because now I’m bringing in the skills for them to be able to do that.” Just like many of their students will be in a few short weeks, the institute’s teachers, such as Taylor Stephens of Harrison High School near Colorado Springs, were buzzing around the hallways of Metro State. Talking with friends and classmates about the skills they learned, teachers appeared to be ready and looking forward to the school year ahead. “Simply being exposed to the rigor of the course and being pushed really helps them in the college experience,” Stephens said. “And AP is fun — it’s really fun.”

Reunions are dying — thank technology My best friend from high school came into town last weekend with his wife, and it was a truly excellent event: Michael and I have always been those friends who can go days, months, even years without talking to each other, but then pick things up again without skipping a beat. There is something to be said for relationships that straddle the formative events of your life. And, even when your world views head in completely different directions as adults, knowing where you come from, and how your friends influenced your life, creates bonds that don’t break. He lives in Austin now and manages to get back to town once every four or five years, so it’s kind of a big deal. We — many members of the old gang — met Friday night at Old Chicago, then again for a picnic at his parents’ house on Sunday afternoon. Funny thing is this weekend was quite a bit more fun than my 20th reunion several years ago. These were people I wanted to see. I was curious to learn what directions their lives had taken. I knew they would make me laugh and feel good about where I came from and where everybody was going. The same can’t be said about reunions. In fact, my wife has an upcoming reunion this summer — the exact number being withheld to protect, well, me — and it looks like that event is going to come up short of expecta-
tions. At last report, out of a graduating class of some 400, only 24 had signed up for the Saturday night formal event, so it was cancelled. I’ve heard a similar report from another friend of ours who went to a different school than either of us. Reunions are dying. Michael Alcorn I have a theory about that: I think HITTING Facebook and other HOME social media have just about killed the wonder of the high school reunion. Everybody you want to stay in touch with you can; everybody posts pictures of their kids, so there’s not much news there; and you can easily find out what the people you graduated are doing. It’s a fully-digitized, minimallyinteractive reunion on a phone/tablet. That is one example of what economists call “creative destruction.” Facebook has been great for friendships, but the people at Reunions, Unlimited probably want to punch Mark Zuckerberg in the mouth. And technology is just going to increase the pace of that sort of destruction. What’s that sign at DIA say? Eight of the top 10 jobs in 2025 haven’t been
invented — yet. Imagine what happens to the taxi industry when the Google car gets online and becomes normal. Or think about what’s going to happen to wait staff at restaurants as automation moves to the table top (especially as a $15 minimum wage becomes a mandate). And, by the way, if you think Big Education is fighting hard for its prerogatives now, wait until you see massive numbers of students and families opting to do education through the online academy. The world is changing, as it always has, and always will. But the pace of change is dizzying, and the future belongs to people who can anticipate the next change, adapt to its reality and, wherever possible, mold and guide that change. To be honest, that is a daunting thought, though the possibilities are equally exhilarating. I just hope somebody thinks to come up with a next generation of Skype that allows me to have a beer with Michael and all our old friends from the comfort of my living room. A holographic chat room — that would be exciting, though, I suppose, bad for Old Chicago.

Can you make your living where you live? Ask your boss I have a great boss. She lets me linger over coffee while checking Facebook in the morning and encourages me to combine emails with a load of laundry. And if lunch is a power nap instead, that’s just fine, too. And who is this fabulous person? It’s you … if you have a home office, that is. Set your own hours. Fix dinner between conference calls. Work in your jammies, casual clothes, or even no clothes at all if that’s your thing. Sound good? Whether you work remotely for a corporation as I do, or you’re winging it as an entrepreneur, you can make your personal headquarters feel like home, because, well, it is. And, as a long-time home officer, I have some darn good advice for those of you who want to give it a try. 1. Get physical — in the dining room, in the bedroom, anywhere you can carve out space specifically for your work. My current office is in a coat closet. Don’t laugh! I built a desk with a pull-out surface for working while seated, and a higher surface for standing. This multi-level wonder rolls out of the closet, along with a filing cabinet on wheels that fits under the desk. When I’m not using my office, it all
rolls back behind bi-fold doors, which is a good thing because I subscribe to the theory that a cluttered desk is the sign of a creative mind. 2. Resist temptation to take your work home. I know, I know – you are home. But, heck, you’ve just created a great space, so keep your work Andrea Doray there. My own mantra is (usually), “I can sleep ALCHEMY where I work, but not work where I sleep.” Personal emails, however, or playing word games on my laptop in bed are not considered work! 3. Get in the groove of your own work schedule. I personally have spurts of genius after about 1 a.m., which is when I do most of my writing. I do have to grab some sleep because I have a day job, but when I am faced with, ahem, a writing deadline, I’ll get up at 4 a.m., or just stay up late after laughing myself
helpless with Jimmy Fallon. 4. Get connected outside of the office. Overcome the challenge of isolation with professional activities, volunteering or, in my case, getting together with as many writers as I can. You’ll make yourself – and your community – very happy. 5. Dress for success, no matter what that looks like. I mentioned the choice of clothes – or lack of – earlier. Myself, I get dressed in reasonable work attire even before I get my favorite brew from my favorite barista (yes, she’s also me). Sometimes I’m moved to put on a little mascara and maybe some earrings, too. Working in footed flannel has never had much of an appeal for me. So there you have it — the best work space, the best hours and, of course, the best possible boss. (Actually, I also have a boss for my corporate work, and let me say here that she is just swell.) Who could ask for more? Andrea Doray is a writer who is a fervent advocate of Boss’s Day. Contact her at a.doray@ andreadoray.com.

A summer of song and theater Can’t believe the summer’s more than half over. My grands/great-grands from Las Vegas just left after a two-week stay. We took in a Rockies game (which “we” won), went to a wedding, and a 70th birthday party, made a trip to Casa Bonita, and, in general had a wonderful time. Of course, I had to share them with parents and other assorted relatives. Now it’s time to get back to regular life. Boring ... no. Busy ... yes.

‘The Princess and the Pea’
Miners Alley also has a Children’s Theatre, which will present “The Princess and the Pea” from July 25 through Oct 17 (on select dates). Rory Pierce (formerly with the Heritage Square Music Hall), heads up this project. I saw the first production and it was delightful. They include the kids in the audience in the action ... much to everyone’s delight. MAP is located at1224 Washington in Golden.

PHAMALY presents ‘Cabaret’
4100 or www.phamaly.org.
For its annual full-scale musical production this year, Phamaly Theatre Company is taking on the very challenging “Cabaret.” I have no doubt they are more than up to the task. Each actor in the company has a physical/cognitive/emotional disability of some kind. Some are obvious, others are not. But, the bottom line is each of these talented individuals has earned the right to be center stage. And, a very big stage it is ... the production takes place at the Denver Performing Arts Center in the Space Theatre at Speer Blvd. & Arapahoe St. The iconic “Cabaret” is set in 1931 Berlin as the Nazies are rising to power. Tunes include “Cabaret,” and “Money.” I’ve seen many of the cast members a number of times and I can assure you it will be an evening very well spent. It runs through Aug. 9 and tickets/info can be found at 303-893-
Fundraiser for Senior Housing Options Another of my favorite annual events, is the production at the Barth Hotel, 1510 17th Street in the heart of downtown Denver. This year the play is “The Odd Couple – The Female Version.” Performances are Thurs., Fri., and Sat. through Aug. 22. The play is produced by and a fund raiser for Senior Housing Options. The Barth is one such facility and each evening a resident welcomes the audience to his/her home. It’s a very touching experience. For tickets and info, call 303-595-4464 ext. 10, or at www.seniorhousingoptions. org. Columnist Harriet Hunter Ford may be reached at hhunterford@gmail.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR View the meeting
After you read the letter to the editor on May 21, 2015 by former City Council Member Sue King, you should go to www. Lakewood.org to view the actual meeting. Click the Government tab and click “watch videos” on the drop down menu. When you do that, you can see and hear the facts. Apparently Sue King did not want to point out what actually occurred. She tried to “smear” the three council members that are not in the Mayor’s corner. At no time did Ramey Johnson or David Weichman ever state that nonprofit organizations were unworthy, undeserving or shouldn’t receive donations. They both praised those groups and mentioned their own involvement with charity. They merely questioned the Mayor’s method of using citizen tax dollars. This provoked obvious displeasure from Bob Murphy, Cindy Baroway, Karen Kellen and Tom Quinn. Apparently they wanted to spend those tax dollars the way they wanted ... without question! Why wouldn’t a council member want to question the use of public money? Isn’t that part of their job? Cindy Baroway commented (I think sarcastically) on David Weichman’s generous $10,000 donation. Very rude! Baroway also stated that it was “embarrassing to be discussing whether it is an appropriate way” to spend city dollars. Isn’t discussion of tax dollar spending exactly what should happen? Pay attention to Weichman’s suggestion that this donation could be election tactics! Don’t take my word for it. Watch the video. And don’t take Sue King’s word either. She
was formerly in the Mayor’s corner. Dale Rosene, Lakewood
Good for Arvada police station
I really enjoyed reading about all the environmentally friendly features the Arvada police substation has incorporated into its design (June 18th edition). It is very reassuring so see a city taking such a proactive stance when it comes to energy reduction and Arvada sets a stellar example for the rest of the nation as we collectively work towards energy reductions. One of the most significant national pollution reduction plans is the Clean Power Plan. This plan calls for the United States to reduce carbon pollution 30 percent by 2030, more than what Germany produces in a single year. This will be no small accomplishment as Germany is the sixth largest polluter in the world. Fortunately, this plan is very doable as several states have already met or exceeded the CPP standards. Unfortunately, many will fight to preserve the status quo where America powers its cities at the expense of our public health and environment. Still, everyday people can make a difference just as the people of Arvada did when they built their efficient police station. Our senators need to hear about our support for the Clean Power Plan, so contact Senators Michael Bennet at 303-455-7600 and Cory Gardner at 970663-2679. By calling, each of us can participate in preserving basic human rights such as clean air. Kelley Schweissing Grand Junction

Equestrian culture alive and well in our communities By Crystal Anderson
canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com Along the Front Range, a passionate group of individuals share a love of the Western culture, in particular an iconic symbol of all things West — the horse. “The bug bites you or it doesn’t,” said Lauren Whitmarsh, a horse trainer and teacher at A Rising Star Equestrian Center in Arvada. “I think it’s something ingrained into you or it’s not … I couldn’t live without horses.” From a young age, many equestrians build a bond, one they say is strong and deep and can’t be compared to anything else. “There’s a passion for that animal that you know, it’s this connection that you get that you don’t get with a human, and I think that’s what draws people into the Western heritage,” said John Boyle, owner of the Golden Mill Country Store and Jefferson County equestrian. “There’s a connection between you and that horse that you can’t get anywhere — you can’t get that from a phone or even another person. It’s a silent communication that’s cathartic, healing and fills you.” A diverse culture, the equestrian world of Adams and Jefferson counties is expansive and attracts individuals of all ages. From barn youth camps and open space trail riding, precision drill training, to rodeo and riding lessons, the horse world is full of opportunities for all ages and skill levels. Those involved with horses say the bond created between rider and horse is something that once formed can’t be broken. “I think a horse is good for you,” said Tia Leftin, a trainer at Silver Quarter Acres in Golden. “Even when things go wrong, you can listen to the horse eating and it’s so Zen — there’s just something about a horse.”

young. Along with riding lessons and 4-H events, barns across the Front Range offer summer and day camps for children of all ages, introducing them to the world of horses. In these weeklong camps, students learn the basic skills and chores necessary to being an equestrian. From grooming, picking hooves and essentials of tacking a horse to how to trot and maneuver obstacles, students gain firsthand experience with a horse. “We partner them (students) together so they have a friend right away and we pair them with the same horse so they can build a relationship with the horse,” Whitmarsh said. “It builds confidence. They’re (the students) excited and want to trot — they want to be with their horses.” Outside of camps, students like Emily Effertz take their skills to the next level in weekly riding lessons. “I love riding because of having a partner to do something with,” said Emily, 13, from Westminster. “In sports, you have a team, but in horseback riding you build a bond with your horse … they’re amazing.” In lessons, students learn how to take care of their horse, the different techniques of riding styles, and begin to train for competitions and open horse shows, should they desire to progress to that level. Lessons are available at most barns and equestrian centers. Equine therapy lessons are also available at various locations.
SPECIALTY
For those who like to go beyond English and Western riding, specialty groups like the Westernaires or vaulting groups offer riders experiences beyond the arena. “There is a sense of community here that you don’t get in a larger community or city,” said Glenn Keller, executive director of the Westernaires. “It is an opportunity for kids to come learn to ride and learn to do things on horses, performing skills, and at the same time develop a sense of community and personal responsibility.”
BOARDING AND RIDING
In horseback riding, two main styles exist, Western and English. In Western riding, the rider sits on a horned saddle with a pommel and cantle that helps hold in the individual. This style was crafted around the cowboy lifestyle, meant to help them remain secure as they rode to round up their cattle. A slower style, Western riding is also great for trail riding and getting from point A to point B. English riding is faster and incorporates racing, jumping over obstacles and cross country events. The rider sits forward in the smaller, flat saddle, holding it with two hands as he prepares to ride fast or jump over a hurdle. Both styles are taught at barns and centers across the Front Range. Riders can show in Western and English competitions at local, regional and national horse shows. Often, boarding is an option that ensures proper care for their horse. With various stall and run sizes to house the horse, many boarding facilities also offer feeding, wellness care, blanketing services, exercise rides and turnout services. Costs vary, but they run, on average, about $500 per horse per month.

Horsing
A youth organization of more than 1,000 students ages 9 to 18, the Westernaires offers Jefferson County youths the opportunity to learn to ride, perform precisiondrill exercises and appear in shows for $30 per year. In the volunteer-led organization, parents and former Westernaires train students in aspects of riding including rodeo skills, trick and formal riding, all without the economic cost of owning and training with a horse. “Horse culture is different with every horse specialty,” said Christina Forsyth, a Westernaires mom. “You go through life and experience all these things with your horse — and that’s our story.” Along with the Westernaires, riders can learn how to vault or do gymnastics on the back of a horse. A popular equestrian sport, vaulting trains a rider to do various types of acrobatics and physical tricks, such as lifts, while riding a cantering horse. Through this sport, athletes learn balance, coordination and strength while building a bond with their horse.

Tavern Uptown going even more ‘up’ with rooftop The building that houses the Tavern Uptown, a popular watering hole at 538 E. 17th Ave., is being redeveloped into a mixed-use project with plans to develop an eight-story building with roughly 315 apartments and 14,000 square feet of retail space, which will include the addition of a rooftop patio for the Tavern on top of the eight-story building. A joint venture between SouthPenny Parker ern Land Co. of Nashville, Tennessee, and real estate investment firm MILE HIGH GTIS Partners LP, headquartered in LIFE New York City, has announced plans for the redevelopment of a 1.5-acre site in the Uptown neighborhood. Tim Downey, CEO of Southern Land Co., said, “We are delighted to have the opportunity to develop much-needed apartment housing in Denver while enabling a popular neighborhood gathering spot to continue to thrive and serve its loyal customers. This location offers the ideal setting to benefit the community, businesses and residents alike.” “We couldn’t be more pleased with the site’s proximity to downtown jobs and its easy access to Uptown’s amenities and parks” added Ken Howell, CFO of Southern Land Co. “Over the years, we’ve been approached by various developers who wanted to purchase our property,” says THG Owner/CEO Frank Schultz. ”We’ve always declined because we have a history in Uptown and could never imagine leaving the neighborhood. Tavern Uptown was our first location — the birthplace of Tavern — so it’s pretty sentimental to us. We feel we’re part of the fabric of the community and have grown with the neighborhood. Our regular guests have been coming for years and are family to us. “Southern Land Company recognized our steadfast stance of keeping Tavern Uptown in our same location. They proposed a plan, which includes Tavern Uptown in the redesign of their new multifamily building. This is a really exciting opportunity for us to keep Tavern Uptown in the community, yet create a bigger and better version.” The Tavern Uptown will not close for rebuilding until early next year. The Tavern has seven other metro-area locations — Downtown, Lowry, Denver Tech Center, Wash Park, Ballpark, Mile High and Littleton.

ABBA tribute band rocks Red Rocks
The Swedish pop group ABBA is a worldwide sensation that continues to lure millions of young and old fans to their infectious feel-good songs through films (“Muriel’s Wedding,” “Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”) and the Broadway musical and film hit “Mamma Mia!” In an interview with the Associated Press, songwriter Bjorn Ulvaeus said that ABBA would never do a reunion tour. “Money is not a factor, and we would like people to remember us as we were. Young, exuberant, full of energy and ambition.” Well, here is your opportunity to relive the ABBA phenomenon. The Music of ABBA With Arrival From Sweden, the world’s foremost ABBA tribute show, comes to Colorado at 8 p.m. July 29 at Red Rocks Amphiteatre (doors open at 6:30).

This development covers an entire two-acre city block and will be home to Whole Foods Market’s new 56,000-square-foot flagship Denver store. “As new apartment buildings rise throughout the Denver metro area, it’s critical to be able to provide services and amenities that not only accommodate apartment residents, but will also meet the needs of the surrounding community,” said Peter Petricca of Holland Partner Group. Upon completion in April 2018, Pivot Denver will comprise approximately 67,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, one level of underground parking, and three levels of above-grade parking. Sitting on top of the retail/parking will stand three 10-story towers containing approximately 580 luxury residential units. The three towers will be connected by a central amenity building, surrounded by three separate outdoor recreation and living areas.

One of the county’s first-grade teachers logged the 10 millionth minute read in the Jefferson County Public Library’s Summer Reading Challenge. Shawn Tateyama, of Golden, reached the milestone on July 14. Tateyama entered the contest with her two children, Preston and Peyton, and it became friendly challenge among the three of them. Preston is in fourth grade and Peyton is in second grade at Kyffin Elementary. As a teacher, Tateyama promotes reading and thought it would be fun to do as a family. For logging in the 10 millionth minute,

the family won a prize of four Firehouse Subs. The Tateyama family is three of nearly 28,000 Jefferson County library patrons who have been reading and logging their minutes since May 29. Originally, the set goal was 1,000,001 minutes. However, that goal was met eight days into the challenge and the libraries upped the goal to 10 million. The challenge is not over yet. People can still sign up at any of the Jefferson County libraries or at www.jeffcolibrary.org to earn a chance at weekly prizes.

Golfers urged to get moving Game’s etiquette calls for more than replacing divots By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Two young men walk toward the starter’s booth at the Broken Tee Englewood golf course. One wears jeans and a tank top, the other basketball shorts, also sporting a sleeveless shirt. Neither wears golf shoes. Traditional etiquette would have required them to wear dress pants, or maybe dress shorts, and a collared shirt for the four-hour-plus endeavor ahead of them. While some country clubs still require such formal wear, at many courses, the times have changed — and to take a line from the “Caddyshack” soundtrack, it’s “all right.” “In an industry that is oversupplied and is struggling for rounds, don’t we need to make it more friendly and less stodgy and relax dress codes?” said Ed Mate, executive director of the Colorado Golf Association. “I guarantee you, today there are very few courses that are going to turn customers away regardless of the way they are dressed. People are definitely less patient today. Maybe golf can be a part of the solution. The game is hard and takes a lot of discipline to be successful. That’s always been the case.” While patience is a virtue in the Part 2 of 3 on finding game, many beways to get better lieve the failure at and get more of golfers to pick enjoyment out of golf. up the pace during a round is the biggest violation of etiquette on today’s courses.
RAISING YOUR
GAME
A need for speed
Most golfers know, or should have been taught, that raking bunkers, replacing divots, not stepping in another player’s line on the putting green and repairing ball marks on the green are part of golf etiquette. But perhaps the biggest issue players should monitor is how well they are keeping up with the group ahead of them. “Pace of play is probably the hardest thing on a golf course to control,” said Broken Tee pro shop assistant Joe Pagnotta, who serves as a course ranger three or four times a week. “The easiest way to explain it is there is only one lane of traffic. If the speed limit is 60 and a car is going 40, the ones in front will all still go 60, but the ones
Stepping on the line of another player’s putt is a violation of golf etiquette. Photo illustration
NEED TO KNOW While you probably already know not to yell “miss it” or “Noonan” on the putting green, the following are some other golf-etiquette tips that could spare you the wrath of playing partners. The USGA adopted the “while we’re young” slogan to boost pace of play, and the message is on display near the first hole at South Suburban Golf Course in Centennial. Rose Carroll is on duty as the starter as a group gets set to tee off. behind will go 40. “That’s what happens on the golf course. One group can ruin it for the rest.” Tom Woodard, director of golf for the Foothills Park and Recreation District, emphasizes that slow play is a hazard. “Our game has been stagnant for about a dozen years,” Woodard said. “We’re slowly losing golfers, and we’re not gaining any golfers. The top two reasons people say they don’t play golf is the time it takes and cost.” In the 1980 comedy film “Caddyshack,” Rodney Dangerfield played Al Czervik, who became peeved it was taking so long for a judge, played by Ted Knight, to hit the ball, so he uttered, “Let’s go … while we’re young.” Two years ago, the United States Golf Association adopted “while we’re young” as an initiative to combat slow play.
Stepping up pace
South Suburban Golf Course in Centennial doesn’t employ marshals but has an extra person in the pro shop who tends to any course problems. They have a greeter on the first hole to remind players of golf etiquette and pace of play, and the course has signs that say “while we’re young.” Taking a page from the Denver Broncos’ Peyton Manning, the course also employs signs im-
parting “hurry, hurry.” Several local golf professionals and executives offered tips to speed the pace of play, like hitting from closer tees that are more manageable, playing courses that are not too difficult and engaging “ready golf,” which among other things, could mean ignoring “honors” and letting the first person to the tee box hit first and continue putting instead of marking your ball. “Another thing that has ruined pace of play is television,” Pagnotta said. “Golfers watch TV. The pros are playing for a million dollars, so they need to take their time and do what they do. Out here, you have to play ready golf.” Marshals or rangers, who are on the course to enforce rules like pace of play, can be intimidating to some. “I like it quicker, but I’ve been in groups that have been put on the clock,” said Broken Tee MetaGolf instructor Jason Preeo, who has played in the U.S. Open and coaches the boys team at Valor Christian. “It makes me very uncomfortable.” Rangers don’t bother Stan Wood of Denver, a men’s club member at Broken Tee. “They don’t intimidate me at all,” Wood said. “I’d like to see more of them. I can see how it could affect some players. Most of them are pretty good guys.”
From the ‘King’ A sampling of what Arnold Palmer told Golf Digest in 2008: • Repair the ground you play on, be it the tee, putting green, bunker or fairway. Before you leave a bunker, for example, ask yourself, “Would I be upset if I had to play from that spot?” In other words, replace those divots, fix those ball marks and rake those sand traps. • Be a silent partner. Stand still from the time a player sets up to the time the ball leaves the club. Never stand in the line of play. “When a player is about to hit their shot, think of the fairway as a cathedral, the green a library.” • Turn off the cell phone. Do whatever you have to do to keep the phone quiet. “If you absolutely have to make a call, move away from the other players. And keep the call brief so that they do not even know you made it.” From the PGA Tour A few tips that can be found on pga.com: • From the time you select your club until you actually hit your shot, you should take no more than 30 to 45 seconds. • Don’t step on your fellow players’ putting lines — the imaginary line that connects the ball to the hole. • Don’t hit if there’s a chance your shot might reach the group ahead of you. And if you think there’s even a slim chance the shot you just struck might hit another player, yell “fore” immediately.

Women drivers, top racers battle at Mile Highs July 24-26 event brings top racers to Bandimere By Scott Stocker
Special to Colorado Community Media There is little doubt the Mopar Mile High Nationals Drag Races bring out the “High” in all the drivers and those who attend the yearly event. It especially brings out the highs for the John Bandimere family. “This is the largest drag racing event in our five-state area,” said John Bandimere III, or “Sporty” as he is known. “What’s nice is that it’s an event close to home and it’s unique on the side of the mountain. It’s great economics for the community and there is substantial amount of money brought into our communities.” The event takes place July 24-25 at Bandimere Speedway’s quarter-mile in Morrison and is the highest elevation that competitors in the National Hot Rod Association will race during regular-season events. It also marks the beginning of the NHRA’s three-race visits to the west and is the 36th season the track has welcomed these racers to the side of the mountain. It is the 14th of the year’s 24 events. “It’s not just cool for the drivers, but for the race fans and hard-core motor sports persons,” Bandimere said. “It’s also been fine with a lot of female and younger racers and it just generates a lot of enthusiasm.”
High-altitude challenge Along with Sonoma, Calif., and Seattle, the Mile Highs provide a unique element to NHRA competitors. All three tracks feature extreme differences unlike any other facilities on the Mello Yellow Series circuit. At Bandimere, the challenge is the high altitude: Elevation of more than 5,800 feet affects everything from engine tune-up to aerodynamics and, sometimes, drivers themselves. Crews and drivers must adapt their engine setups and battle the lack of down force.
A top fuel dragster lights up the night and the front wheels come off the ground in this qualifying run. The top fuel dragsters and top fuel funny cars will put on this fire-breathing show July 24 and 25 during the night qualifying sessions at the Mile High National Drag Races at Bandimere Speedway. Courtesy photo “We just hope to make the right decisions and make it fun and to stay away from bad situations for the drivers,” Bandimere said. All classifications in drag racing, professional and non-professional, will have their opportunities at Bandimere Speedway in this prestigious event.
Women drivers The series this season also has 10 female drivers. Over the course of the years, women drivers have combined to win 115 races. “We have a focus on Saturday with female drivers to be on display and to sign a lot of autographs,” Bandimere said. When it comes to women drivers, folks are more than happy to watch the John Force family. Dad, John, is seeking to add his 17th world title to his record, yet he
certainly doesn’t mind that his daughters, Courtney, Ashely and Brittney, are making their marks in the series. They will all be here this weekend. Courtney Force became the winningest female driver in Funny Car last season, passing sister, Ashley. And no one rules out Brittany as a fine competitor in Top Fuel Dragster. Courtney made history at Topeka when she was the 100th woman to win on the NHRA circuit. She also bettered her dad’s national speed record at 325.06 mph earlier this year. And Pro Stock Motorcycle’s Angie Smith won her first career race when she defeated her husband, Matt Smith, in the final round at Epping. Can she do it again in Denver? We’ll just have to see.

GALLERY OF GAMES
John Force has been a fan favorite at Bandimere for years and has won six titles on the side of the mountain. He has two wins this season at Las Vegas and Epping and now totals 143 career victories. He was the runner-up last season, losing to his teammate and son-in-law, Robert Hight. Allen Johnson has been among the dominant drivers in the Pro Stock class at Bandimere. He has six wins on the side of the mountain, including three in a row and six in his last eight appearances. A seventh win at Bandimere would tie him with Bob Glidden for the most all-time victories in any professional category at Bandimere. Erica Enders won her first world championship last season in Pro Stock and will be tough to beat in the Mile Highs. She has 16 career victories and owns the Pro Stock national speed record at 215.55 mph, has won four times already this season, but will be seeking her first victory in the Mile Highs. Greg Anderson is a four-time world champion in Pro Stock. He also has four wins this season and is the current point leader in his class. He would like to add to his previous wins at Bandimere in 2004 and 2008. Tony Schumacher also has a solid history at Bandimere in Top Fuel. He is the most decorated driver in the history of the class and has won eight championships and won this class last year at the Speedway. Now, he seeks his third win at Bandimere since 2008 in his U.S. Army dragster. Matt Hagan, who has four victories this season in Funny Car, comes into the Mile Highs leading in points. Like Enders, though, he will be seeking his first win on the mountain side. He would like nothing better than to beat Jack Beckman, a twotime winner in the Mile Highs who is the current Funny Car points leader. The Mile Highs will be televised on ESPN2. And, the Speedway is more than pleased to welcome back its 2014 winners, J.R. Todd in Top Fuel, Hight in Funny Car, Johnson in Pro Stock and Andrew Hines in Pro Stock Motorcycle. Tickets for the Mile-Highs are also available by calling (800-664-UWIN) or via the Web at www.bandimere.com.
SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JULY 20, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Starting something new is always exciting for the adventurous Aries.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Put your daydreaming penchant on hold for now, and face the facts as they are, not as you’d like them to be. Your customary hardheaded approach to “deals,” etc., is called for. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Problems beyond your control might delay some of your plans. But things should start to get back to normal by midweek. The weekend could bring an unexpected (but welcome) visitor. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It’s a good time to buckle down and tackle those unfinished tasks so you’ll be ready to take on other projects. The week’s end could bring an invitation from a most surprising source. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Mixed signals could create a few stressful moments for the Lion. But by midweek, explanations should help ease the tension. The weekend is party time! Share it with someone special. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good “catching up” week for finishing tasks, calling old friends and maybe reading that book you haven’t opened yet or renting that movie you wanted to see again. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Money matters should be worked out, even if it takes time away from a more romantic situation. Better to settle things before feelings turn hard and angry on all sides. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A job-related problem could turn out to be less troublesome than it seemed at first. Just a few moments of talk ‘twixt the parties resolves everything to everyone’s satisfaction. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) The Sagittarian Archer takes aim at health and fitness issues this week. Watch your diet, and try to put more exercise time into your typically busy schedule. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) As you continue to focus on a career or job change, it’s a good time to look over some of your rarely used skills and see where they can fit into your future workplace plans. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A loved one’s health might be worrisome, but there’s good news by midweek. Expect people who share your ideas and your goals to try to contact you by the week’s end. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A colleague’s request that makes the typically perceptive Pisces feel uncomfortable is a request you probably will want to turn down. The weekend favors family get-togethers. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for making others feel warm and wanted. Even newcomers will feel like old friends. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Ripples could spread from soccer splash
World Cup win by American women could boost girls’ interest in sport
By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Jared Spires, chief operating officer for the Colorado Real soccer club, was in Maui on July 5 when the U.S. women beat Japan, 5-2, to win the World Cup soccer championship. “I was fortunate to be in Maui for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, and just to hear all the shouts along the beach when goals were scored was awesome,” said Spires. “I could hear all the different resorts with cheers going up when we scored. It was cool.” But will the United States’ World Cup win do anything to spark interest in the general public for soccer in America? Soccer is one of the world’s most popular sports. However, in the United State it is a popular sport for mostly the young generation — for a majority of the public, it is only watched during the World Cup or Olympics as a patriotic gesture. “Winning the World Cup does help to an extent,” said Colorado Rush director of operations Justin Miller. “But not enough, especially on the women’s side. One, it’s a tad bit slower than the men’s game and, two, there are just more popular faces on the men’s side. “They get all the media, and the kids watch all of that on the men’s side rather than the girls’ side. But the women have an incredible amount of power with other women. So young girls actually have more of a passion to watch older women more than the young men watch the older men.” Spires believes it could take some more time before overall soccer popularity swells in this country. “It’s a long road to relevancy, and hats off to the women’s team for being fantastic,” he said. “There were three hours of coverage of the parade. I don’t think we’ve seen that kind of coverage before. “There’s a good possibility that we can maintain this momentum but we might be a generation away. It will take when these kids that are growing up in this generation of loving the sport and have real-life experiences in the sport start having kids. We’re going in the right direction for sure.”
Concerns Continued from Page 1
will be keeping an eye on the project. “There are still a lot of unanswered questions.” The new building would require a special-use permit, which Lakewood planning and zoning will consider in August. The public can comment during that hearing. Lakewood City Council will not vote on the issue, but with approaching city elections in November it remains a topic of discussion. During her mayoral campaign kickoff, Ward 1 council member Ramey Johnson spoke about her opposition to the relocation, saying she would not be muzzled from voicing her dissatisfaction. “I don’t have a vote,” she said, “but if I did, it would be no.” Her opponent, Ward 4 council member Adam Paul, said it would be inappropriate for him or anyone on council to comment while an active application is pending. “This is a quasi-judicial issue, and I do not want to appear to be lobbying the planning commission one way or another, especially before the public hearing,” he said. “Optimally, I would prefer that the county find a location in unincorporated Jeffco, but they have submitted an application in Lakewood and we need to respect the process.”
Campus Continued from Page 1
Red Rocks’ main campus is in Lakewood. Its Arvada campus is at 5420 Miller St. For Ashley Quay, the college’s health sciences program has helped her excel and prepare her for work as an X-Ray technician. She said the expansion and medical culture is something current and future students can look forward to at the Arvada campus. “Once the campus expands and they have programs like nursing and phlebotomy here, it will really build that culture,” she said. “There’s some camaraderie that comes along when you’re with the people in the same boat as you — that environment is really going to help people grow.” The expansion, constructed by JHL Constructors, will include a welcome center and coffee shop, a lecture hall, clinic exam rooms, small group rooms, classrooms and a cadaver lab. “More than that, this is creating a brand new learning environment, for not just Arvada but also Jefferson County,” said Ron Slinger, executive director of the Red Rocks Foundation. Construction is expected to be completed within one year. Opening date is scheduled for fall 2016. “I think the whole neighborhood will be impressed by the type of building that is there,” Haney said. “The neighbors, the city and the county are going to benefit.”
