Distillery pub guidelines pass House committee Craft brew, winery operations are model By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Restaurant distilleries could be a new business choice in Colorado after a bill defining guidelines for distillery pubs passed out of its first House committee last week. Sponsored by Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, with Senate co-sponsorship by Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, the bill was unanimously approved by lawmakers, which opens doors for the state’s 73 licensed distilleries. “The distillery pub bill allows someone that does not want to be a full-blown manufacturer to open a restaurant that has a small distillery as part of the operation,” said Stephen Gould, owner of Golden Moon Distillery. A distillery pub license, approved by the state and a local government, would be similar to a brewpub or winery license, where the establishment must serve food and wholesale sales are limited. Per the bill, licensed premises could not
ferment or distill more than 2,700 liters or 300 cases per product per year on the premises, and the total limit on annual production of spirits would be 45,000 liters or 5,000 cases. “We just want to make sure we keep it small and local because that has been the model that’s made brew pubs so successful in Colorado,” Sen. Andy Kerr said. CB Potts and Ironworks are examples of popular brewpubs, similar to what House Bill 1204 would allow for distillers. The bill allows for recognition and opportunity for an industry that is normally in the shadows. “It puts the craft distilling industry more in line with what the craft brewing industry has been in Colorado,” said Sean Smiley, owner of State-38 Distilling in Golden. Smiley sits on the board of directors for the Colorado Distillers Guild, a trade organization whose members made several recommendations on the bill. “We’ve kind of been the stepchild in terms of alcohol manufacturing,” Smiley said. “But we’re growing in numbers and I feel like the distilling wave is kind of the second wave to the craft brew wave that came through.” Kevin Settles, owner of Bardenay, a res-
Jon Tewinkle, head distiller at State-38 distilling in Golden, measures the quantity of sugar in a fermentation tank on Thursday, Feb. 26. A house bill at the state capitol recently passed a house committee, which paves the way for Distillery Pubs and allows them to operate with specific guidelines similar to brew pubs such as CB Potts where craft beer and other alcohol beverages may be served in a restaurant or bar setting. Photo by Amy Woodward taurant distillery in Idaho, has been credited as the facilitator behind the bill. Settles did not comment by press time,
but several sources have said that Settles is looking to expand his businesses from Idaho to Colorado.

Indoor bull riding set for fairgrounds Free rodeo events come to Jeffco facility By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Every bull rider approaches his ride differently. Some say a quick prayer before hopping over the metal railing to mount the seemingly tame beast — others don’t give it a second thought. “Nothing feels better than spurring one down,” said bull rider Joey Quintana of Arvada. The Jeffco Fairgrounds is hosting the Bull Riders Underground Showdown organized by Newlon Rodeo Productions, with dates set through the end of April. Held at the Livestock Arena, admission is free until the series returns in September, where tickets will sell for $5 a person. “It’s really kind of turned into this, I

The fairgrounds hosts 1,200 different events a year, but the indoor bull riding series offers an appeal for even the most urban lifestyle. “You’re on the edge of your seat the whole time,” said Samantha Ayres of Arvada. “You have to stay on for eight sec-
onds and you don’t know who is going to make it and who’s not.” A combination of professional and amateur bull riders participate in the rodeo sport from across the state as well as a few riders from Arkansas and South Dakota. Bull riding classes will soon be offered along with opportunities for the addition of youth riders on miniature bulls. “I want people to view bull riding as entertainment,” said Mike Newlon, local promoter and former bull rider. Quintana, who was born and raised in Golden, said winning is an important factor for the riders, who are looking to collect to get them ready for the next ride. “I have a lot of respect for the people who put it on, and they used to put on really big bull ridings,” Quintana said. “When you can come somewhere like this and just have fun, then there’s nothing better.” The Friday night Jackpot series continues Friday, March 6 at 7 p.m. For more information, go to www.facebook.com/ newlonrodeo.
With volcanoes erupting, name brand dog foods being challenged with generics and helmet crash tests highlighting the importance of bike safety, students at Campbell Elementary School celebrate a deep love for science. “For years, the historical build of what work they’ve (Campbell community) done, continues to build it each year,” said Principal Ryan Stadler. “It is something people are passionate about doing, and this is what you do at Campbell.” Started in 1985, the Campbell Elementary Science Fair encourages students in kindergarten through sixth grade to craft projects showcasing their skills, proficiency and passion for science. In the voluntary event, students work from winter break to President’s Day weekend, crafting various partner projects, research papers, demonstrations and scientific method projects. “I’m so impressed that you guys have kept it going all these years, that Campbell had kept it going,” said Jane Ensor, founder of the event. “I think it speaks to how intellectual this community really is.” The program, which teaches kids experimental design and the scientific method, encourages students to ask questions, observe various experiments, and collect and analyze data on their own, outside of the classroom. “The best scientists are people who can observe,” Ensor said, “and we’re teaching them, here, to observe very young.” Fair continues on Page 3

Find your inspiration for motivation creation Motivation is one of those things that really has an impact on everyone, especially those facing a lack of motivation. And when I have this discussion with people and with organizations, I hear all kinds of responses and rationale for why some people are extremely self-motivated or driven and how others just seem to be inspirationally challenged. Motivators, the motivated, and the unmotivated come in all shapes and sizes, from all walks of life, and from every age category. Many companies I work with or talk with have expressed a challenge with motivating their millennial employees as well as the people on their staff that are nearing retirement. The millennials don’t seem to be motivated by the same things that their managers, executives, or owners are motivated by, and those looking down the corridor of retirement are no longer motivated by the projects, opportunities, and potential that once excited them years before. All of us, regardless of our age or occupation, have probably battled the lack of motivation or inspiration at some point in our lives. Even the most optimistic
and motivated people I know deal with setbacks such as financial issues, health crises, family situations, and work-related stress. And again, even the most inspired people can take a day off or maybe even a week or month away from their motivated lives. Now I can share with you that I have seen retirees and children of all ages and people from every age group in between eventually find their source of inspiration, or recapture that motivated feeling. And in every case, not just some of the cases, but every single case, the person has agreed that regardless of everything else happening around them, their lives were happier and more productive.
So what motivates you? Is it volunteering? Helping others achieve success? Skiing? Golfing? A healthy body? A devoted spiritual life? Your children? Your spouse? A new opportunity? Your business? Music? Your friends? Someone who has reached or achieved success? Your own goals and dreams? The sun? The snow? A smile? A hug? Something else? I am sure if we all gave some time to sit and think about what truly inspires us and pursued each with passion and commitment, that we would also enjoy our lives and feel more productive each and every day. So for the manager who struggles with managing the millennials on your staff, help them discover what motivates them. For parents who are seeing a child that is less than motivated, challenge them a little to talk about what excites them, what they want to be, who their heroes are, and help them find that spark of inspiration. For those of you nearing retirement or already retired, remember what you enjoyed most about what you have accomplished and maybe find ways to inspire others or share your stories and best practices with those coming up behind you.
As I write this column, hundreds of ideas are flooding my mind with ways that I can further motivate myself as well as things that I can still complete today that will give me a sense of satisfaction, gratitude, and achievement. I am motivated for sure. As a matter of fact, I will start writing the list of things that I will do today and this week and that will motivate me even more. And I encourage you to try the same exercise and see if you don’t find a little spark of inspiration along the way for yourself. How about you, how is your motivational level these days? Do you need a jump-start or are you flying high towards the achievement of your goals and dreams, feeling happy and productive each day? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we find our motivators in life, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a Colorado resident, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

good information,” she said. “It really helps our kids leaving elementary school and going into middle and high school. That’s a huge part of being an advanced learner at the middle and high school level, that they’re not plagiarizing.” This year, more than 100 projects were on display at the school’s gym through March 2 for judging and community viewing, but according to parent and science fair coordinator Melanie Abel, the lasting effects of those experiments will live on. “Once you do science fair, you always do science fair,” she said.
transferring it to something bigger and that’s really what it has to be about — the transfer of knowledge that we’re acquiring in school and how we’re using it.” Along with a presentation, students are required to perform their own research, collect their own data, write their own reports and cite their sources, something that Campbell’s special education paraprofessional Kathy Beamis said will help prepare students as they advance onto secondary education. “In this technology world that we live in, they still have to be savvy about where they get their information, because not all information out there is

Kindergartners to third-graders may choose to have a partner or demonstration project, and fourth- through sixth-graders are required to do a project involving the scientific method. “Science fair is an amazing opportunity for kids,” Stadler said. “You’re taking the knowledge you’re acquiring and your

Police substations mark first anniversary Sector-based approach seen as benefit to neighborhoods By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Last March, the Arvada Police Department launched two community substations in an effort to advance its sector-based policing model. One year later, that effort is paying off, in some distinctive ways. “There’s really three main things that I’d probably point to as the most visible aspects of it,” said Arvada Police Chief Don Wick, citing the high use of the community rooms, officer visibility and employee ownership of the stations. Over the past year, Arvada police have been working out of three community stations in each of the city’s main sectors, Adam, Baker and Charlie. The two new stations, located in the Lake Arbor (8110 Vance Drive) and West Woods (6644 Kendrick Drive) neighborhoods, are part of the department’s community-based policing model, along with the original Baker station at 8101 Ralston Road. At each station,
officers work within the surrounding neighborhoods to build relationships and target area-specific crime and concerns. “For the past year at the stations, it’s been very good,” said Lake Arbor Cmdr. Shelly Moriarty. “It’s been very active. The officers seem to really enjoy working out of the substations and really enjoy working in the neighborhood we serve.” By having the substations placed within these sectors, Moriarty and Wick said they’ve developed key relationships with residents. This relationship, they said, has resulted in an increase in crime reporting but an overall decrease in criminal activity. “We have seen a decrease in some criminal activity because we’ve been able to look at the City of Arvada on a more micro level,” Wick said. Along with the presence in the community, the substations provided residents with a meeting space of their own, which Wick said was utilized for homeowner associations, city departments, book clubs and even birthday parties. Looking forward, the department is going to continue to focus its energies on establishing a good foothold in the communities and plan for a third substation in the Candelas or Leyden Rock neighborhoods.
On a tour of the Lake Arbor Police Station, Cub Scout Tiger Den 203 paused for a moment with Arvada Police’s Officer Peterson for a photo op. Courtesy Photo “For us to be able to communicate, participate and connect with people in those communities who are living, working and
conducting business in … these stations really allows us to take that community engagement to the next level,” Wick said.

OPINION
March 5, 2015
&
A positive AURA Dave Chandler has a curious and completely misinformed vendetta against the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority. A few weeks ago, he drafted an editorial in another publication titled “Arvada urban renewal: Everything that can be wrong with local government.” Last week, he submitted to the Arvada Press a guest column titled “Arvada government’s hotel bailout scheme equals Hilton handout,” referring to the Hilton Garden Hotel which is proposed at the former Brooklyn’s restaurant site and now temporary home of the Vineyard Church at 5445 Olde Wadsworth Boulevard. Let me begin by stating that it has long been a goal of the Arvada City Council to establish a hotel in our community. With the exception of an extended stay hotel on Sheridan Boulevard, this City of nearly 110,000 people does not have lodging opportunities for visitors or people in town on business. Mr. Chandler states that “Arvada government has a scheme to give away more than $2.7 million to a private hotel developer.” What Mr. Chandler fails to disclose is that any money paid to the developer is generated exclusively from the develop-
ment. There is no transfer of money from the general fund. In fact, the agreement states that the authority will be paid back in full over the life of the agreement. Mr. Chandler also accuses the authority of deciding “that this is where a hotel ought to be in Arvada. The market place isn’t deciding; the hotel industry isn’t deciding; free enterprise isn’t deciding. The government is deciding.” To the contrary, it is a well-known fact that the developer approached the authority with the request to construct a hotel on the site. The market place is absolutely deciding the location. Five different hotel studies conducted between 2003 and 2014 have independently concurred that a hotel will be successful in the vicinity of I70 and Wadsworth. In fact
in 2011, a hotel developer commissioned a study to look specifically at 5445 Olde Wadsworth (the site of the proposed hotel). This study states, “The results of our analysis of supply and demand in the Arvada and surrounding competitive markets revealed pent-up demand for hotel rooms in Arvada. We recommend that the proposed subject property operate as an upscale, allsuites, limited-service hotel.” Mr. Chandler states that “the government tries to paint ‘positive’ impacts from this project.” Indeed, the impacts will be very positive for our community. It is estimated, for example, that hotel guests will spend approximately $3 million in the local economy annually, and generate more than $100,000 in additional sales tax. Over the next 17 years, the hotel will generate over $6 million in sales, property, and lodging taxes that will go directly to AURA and the City of Arvada. Finally, the hotel will provide 60–80 new jobs in the area. I am thrilled to have a hotel, especially one as upscale as a Hilton Garden Inn, located in the vicinity of our bustling Olde Town and the Gold Line transit station. It will provide a much needed amenity to our business and residential community.

Shouting from the bully pulpit I have now, as a parent, successfully navigated one child all the way through public schools, and two others part of the way through, without encountering any significant case of bullying or intimidation or any of the other truly horrific things that you hear about happening with kids these days. So far. And, as I say this, I knock on wood, turn around three times, go outside and curse and spit, just to avoid any chance of the wrath coming down from high atop the thing. Parents can’t protect their children from everything, and it is true that many of the pits life puts in childrens’ way are there to make them stronger and prepare them for the real world. But, it is a parent’s job to protect children from real horrors, and it seems like such a difficult task these days. The growth of, and reliance upon, social media, especially with the young, make the world of horrors such a bigger place now, and it’s really hard to keep up. That’s why I was heartened when the Colorado House passed a bill this week creating legal penalties for people who use the Internet to bully other people. The bill, inspired by a Douglas County cheerleader who tried to hang herself after relentless cyber-bullying, sends an important message about the legal limits of what can be said in the anonymity of cyberspace. And, yes, I have serious concerns about the wording of this particular law, and I’m not sure that this exact piece of paper is the
right way to deal with the problem, but I’m encouraged that our lawmakers are at least open to addressing the problem. And only five years after the ABC “After School Special” on the problem. But then, I look back a week or two at my own social media feed, and I start looking at some of what was going on there with a gimlet eye. Two weeks ago, the story broke about NBC news anchor Brian Williams’, er, “misremembering” an incident that he’d reported on from early in the War in Iraq. And, it so happened, from many of my feed sources, that Brian Williams’ problem was the source of great amusement. Like the clever fellow who pasted Williams’ head on the body of Neil Armstrong, walking on the moon. Or the one of Williams reporting on a story, and then comparing it to the time he fought alongside Patton in the Battle of the Bulge. You get the gist. Now, Brian Williams was a serious journalist, whose credibility is the bread and butter of his profession. Beyond just his own need to be trustwor-
thy, there are the layers of editors and fact-checkers who are supposed to make sure that what goes on the air is factually accurate. The NBC News brand is at stake when he inflates his resume like he did. Clearly, his place in life is vastly different than that of a high school cheerleader. But, really, all of the snark online aimed at Williams is really not that different than what drove a young girl to try to kill herself. And, lacking the ability to defend Williams, his allies have decided to focus their ire on tearing down another journalist, Bill O’Reilly. Also, mature. People make mistakes; even the powerful screw up once in a while. If Brian Williams has a serial problem with making up stories to make himself look good, then, perhaps, we should pity him that his ego needs so much validation. And, certainly, he should not be in the position of an impartial arbiter and reporter on the reality of the world around us. But the gleeful piling on is no less unfortunate than his own fall from grace. He probably needs counseling, not snark. But, as for us, maybe a little more grace is called for. How, exactly, are we to expect more from our 13-year old children than we do from ourselves? Michael Alcorn is a teacher and writer who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children.

Festival highlights Japanese traditions Girls Day celebrations marked by doll event By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Celebrating its 47th year, the Japanese Doll and Cultural Festival honors Japanese culture through the display of hundreds of traditional dolls and ceremonies. The festival, held March 7-8 at Simpson United Methodist Church (SUMC), 6001 Wolff St., is an annual celebration of Hina Matsuri, or Girls Day. This is a day where families of girls would celebrate and pray for their daughters’ growth and happiness. “I want them (the community) to know about the culture,” said Jaque Cornish, SUMC member and co-chair of the event. “They will learn a lot about the culture and Hina Matsuri. They will see stuff that you typically would not see here in America.” Started by a Japanese-American resident in 1968 as a way to bring traditional Japanese culture to America, the event features more than 250 porcelain and wooden dolls representing figures from Japanese culture, past and present. From a seven-tier doll set of kings and queens and their families to stand-alone figures of brides, ornately dressed dolls will fill the church’s Nichigo sanctuary, as well as throughout the church.
IF YOU GO WHAT: Japanese Doll & Cultural Festival WHEN: March 7-8 WHERE: Simpson United Methodist Church, 6001 Wolff Street TIME: 11:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. INFO: 303-428-7963
Here, a scene of traditional porcelain dolls sit, showcasing an emperor and his empress before a meal. Along with the doll displays, the free event will feature live doll-making demonstrations, Taiko drum performances, vocal and dance performances, and will also feature two traditional tea-ceremony demonstrations throughout the weekend. Dolls and other artwork will be available for purchase at the event. For more information, call 303-428-7963. “This is Japanese culture that we’ve brought to America that a lot of people really do enjoy,” Cornish said.
Among the hundreds of styles of dolls on display at the 2014 Japanese Doll Festival, these porcelain geisha dolls show the variety of artistic skills and craftsmanship demanded of artists Esther Hashiba, Kazuko Koga, Midori Allymeyer and Paula Matsumoto. Photos by Crystal Anderson
Colorado pot bringing harm to Nebraska As attorney general of Nebraska, I have had many people ask me why my state is suing Colorado over its marijuana law. This is a question that requires thoughtful consideration because, left unchallenged, I am confident Colorado’s law will cause long-term harm to Nebraska families. In 2012, Colorado voters legalized marijuana for recreational use. This recreational use law followed on the heels of prior passage of a medical marijuana use bill which very loosely enforced the concept of “medical.” In doing so, Colorado took a federally recognized Schedule I illegal drug, as defined by the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, and launched into what Colorado officials are finding is uncharted territory. Colorado’s own appointed marijuana czar, Andrew Freedman, admitted, “I do worry about if we are irreparably harming Colorado. And it’s something that will take years to suss out (grasp).” Additionally, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper confessed, “We don’t know what the unintended consequences are” of legalizing marijuana. It is not Nebraska’s position to stand idle and watch Colorado’s failed experiment as it spills over to our state. One of government’s primary purposes is to protect its citizens from known harm. There is no question that Colorado’s marijuana practices have and will continue to harm Nebraskans, and thus it is incumbent upon Nebraska to take action. A 2009 study published in The Lancet reported that one out of six adolescents aged 13-19 who try marijuana will become addicted. The number of addicted youth will likely increase due to the extremely dangerous THC levels in Colorado marijuana products, known to be the highest potency in the world. The method of use is also made more attractive for adolescents when delivered in such forms as gummy bears, power drinks and candy bars. The addiction potential for adolescents is a significant risk, according to the Federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. An April 2014 neuroscience study, jointly produced by the medical schools of Northwestern University and Harvard University, concluded that, based upon highresolution MRI scans, young recreational users of marijuana, aged 18 to 21, did show
of its cities that have already voted to ban recreational use. Repeal in Colorado is made more difficult because commercial enterprise has been unleashed and tax revenue is now being generated. Some might call Colorado progressive for opening up the gates to the impairment industry. However, those who are not driven by profit or recreational escapism more wisely understand the real danger of this noticeable structural abnormalities in regions of the brain that affect memory, attention, concentration and impulses. This is objective medical evidence of physical harm to the developing brain. A June 2014 article published in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that marijuana use in adolescents negatively impacted the functional connectivity of the brain, creating a significant decline in IQ. Additionally, regular use of marijuana by young people is associated with increased risk for anxiety, depression and psychosis, including schizophrenia. This is especially true for young people who have a pre-existing genetic vulnerability, according to studies cited by the National Institutes of Health. This mental health threat will only compound the burden upon Nebraska’s mental health system. Colorado’s legalization of recreational use and the Department of Justice’s lack of enforcement of federal law has allowed for the rapid development of a multi-milliondollar impairment industry. Those in this exploitative business seek to shift the public’s perception to believe marijuana is harmless, but at the same time the impairment industry is making its products increasingly more potent. Robert MacCoun, a behavioral scientist at the University of California-Berkeley who has studied drug policy here and abroad, calls it an “arms race, in which growers strive to create the highest-octane varieties, and then bestow awards on themselves at the annual Cannabis Cup competition. “ Law enforcement statistics from the Nebraska State Patrol confirm that approximately twice as much marijuana is seized from Colorado as that trafficked from Mexico and California. The state and county law enforcement costs continue to rise. Ideally, the citizens of Colorado would repeal this law, following the lead of five
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Concern over salaries
The February 19, 2015 edition of the Arvada Press published a letter from one Tom Graham who is concerned about the waste of tax money by the Jeffco school district board of education. He should be very concerned that an extra attorney and PR person cost a lot of
dollars and so do mediators whose advice was ignored. Teachers are taxpayers and parents too. They have deep concern over the quality of people hired as well as their inflated salaries. LaRene Wolfe, Arvada

Denver Center chooses new president, CEO The Board of Trustees of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts has named Scott Shiller as its new president and chief executive officer. Daniel Ritchie, who has served as both CEO and chairman of the board of trustees since 2007, will continue as chairman. Shiller comes to the DCPA from the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, where he served as executive vice president since 2007. At the Arsht Center, he oversaw major programming and marketing initiatives, which in his first year, led to a $3.3 million turnaround with a growth in average ticket sales from 43 to 70 percent and a 76 percent increase in attendance. “The community’s appetite for and support of theater makes Denver audiences among the best in the country,” Shiller said. “I am extremely excited to be a part of, learn from and contribute to the DCPA’s next evolution as it connects artists and audiences together.” “Scott joins us at a pivotal time in the DCPA’s history,” Ritchie said. “Following an extensive analysis of our priorities, our emphasis will be on deepening and enriching relationships with our entire community. Scott’s leadership will enable me to focus on board matters and reauthorization of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District in 2016.”
Tavern adds new concept
Bartlett play presents an unusual love triangle By Clarke Reader
creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com What do you want? What do you do for a living? What now? So many of the questions that people get asked daily begin with “what” that the “who” of the person gets lost. Who are you? Who do you love? Who loves you? These are the questions tackled by The Edge Theater in its latest production — “Cock” by Mike Bartlett, also known as “The Cockfight Play.” The regional premiere of the play runs at the theater, 1560 Teller St., March 6 through April 5. Show times are 8 pm. Friday and Saturday and 6 p.m. Sunday. “This show has been recognized for the originality of its format — there is no concrete set or props,” said director Robert Kramer. “It is all about the movement and interaction with the characters. It has nothing to do with the physical world — instead, it’s all about the emotional world.” The story focuses on John (Michael Bouchard), who finds himself torn between two loves: his longtime boyfriend M (Brian Landis Folkins) and W (Rachel Bouchard), a woman he fell in love with while he and M were taking a break. John tries to decide between the two as his life turns into a cockfight with his heart as the prize, all the while dealing with his own questions of identity and sexuality. The show also features Chris Kendall as F. “There is a lot of really great, biting comedy but there is also a great deal of pathos,” said Michael Bouchard. “John is a very unique character because he is so passive in so many ways. He lets the world
IFYOU GO WHAT: “Cock” WHERE: The Edge Theater 1560 Teller St., Lakewood WHEN: March 6 - April 5 Friday-Saturday — 8 p.m. Sunday — 6 p.m. COST: $26 CALL: 303-232-0363 or www.theedgetheater.com happen to him and never asks himself what he wants.” Since so much of the show is abstract, Kramer and the actors faced the challenge of telling a story almost entirely through expression and movement. “In a premise like this you have to come up with a series of rules that make sense to you,” Kramer said. “I decided the actors should never touch each other on stage — I think that makes everything they do pure emotion, and every gesture becomes more significant.” The idea for the scenery was to give the stage the look and claustrophobic atmosphere of a cockfighting ring, so industrial lighting is employed and the seats have been rearranged to crowd in close to the stage. “We’re not using traditional theater seating — we want to create a feeling the audience can’t escape,” Kramer said. “It’s a very dangerous and moody play space.” This kind of focus had led to a play that features acting stripped of any kind of facade, Kramer said, and Michael Bouchard agrees. What the play ultimately comes down to is a careful examination of how love changes and develops depending on who one is with. “In the end it’s not a play about being gay — it’s more about the examination of identity and what that is,” Bouchard said. “When you are fighting for your life that can become your identity. The question is should I figure out who I am, instead of what I am?” For more information call 303-232-0363 or visit theedgetheater.com.
In January, The Tavern Hospitality Group quietly unveiled a new concept, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, at 2907 Huron St., a stone’s throw from Coors Field. With a nod to the area’s history, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot embraces the character of the historical industrial district that was centralized around a major railroad intersection, and has black-and-white photos of Denver in the 1930s. In keeping with the essence of the former bag factory, industrial materials such as concrete, steel and wood are incorporated into the building design. In addition to a street-side patio, a rooftop patio with community tables made from repurposed wood provides an expansive view of the city. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot features more than 90 whiskeys including Pappy Van Winkle, a whiskey that has a small production and can be hard to find. Cameron Rogers, regional manager, was able to collect the full Pappy Van Winkle lineup; however, with its rarity, it will only be available for a limited time. Rogers handpicked a Knob Creek 12-year single barrel whiskey on a visit to the Jim Beam distillery in Kentucky. It will be bottled exclusively for Whiskey Tango Foxtrot and be available in the next few months. The menu features appetizers home such as pork wings, seared tuna tacos and glazed Brussels sprouts. For entrees, try the signature Foxtrot fried chicken or tender braised pot roast on a baguette. Hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. Valet parking is available from 4 to 11 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. For more information, go to www.whiskeytf.com or call 303-226-1540.

Arvada School House Kitchen opens
Pagliacci space redeveloped
School’s never out at School House Kitchen & Libations, a new whiskey bar and eatery at 5660 Olde Wadsworth Blvd., in the heart of historic Olde Town Arvada. The restaurant, which opened in February, serves lunch and dinner seven days a week. The building dates back to 1882 as the original Arvada schoolhouse. Owner Scott Spears also owns Scrumptious, an ice cream parlor around the corner. School House offers more than 450 different whiskeys, 50 beers, and a sizable menu that reads like a multiple choice test. With the Library Bar, Home Room Dinning Area, and the upstairs Teachers Lounge, School House is sure to trigger school memories (if your learning institution had a bar and restaurant). For more information, go to www. schoolhousearvada.com/.
The 33rd Avenue and Navajo Street piece of land that used to house Pagliacci’s, a longtime Denver eatery, will be redeveloped as Lumina, a 70,000-square-foot mixed-use development in the Lower Highlands neighborhood, according to a story in The Denver Business Journal. The first occupants will take up residence on March 1. Lumina, a 70,000-square-foot mixeduse development in Denver’s Lower Highlands neighborhood, will get its first occupants March 1 on a site well-known to longtime Denverites. The site used to be home to Pagliacci’s, which closed in 2012 after 66 years in business. The building was sold and torn down to make way for the Lumina project. Lumina includes 6,000 square feet of retail space and 61 apartments that range in size from 550 to 1,250 square feet,

Resilient children practice schoolwork, sports, board games (interaction with people), art, music and help others. These activities teach winning, losing, making mistakes, recovering quickly and determining to do better. They grow in self-confidence and lessen self-centeredness. Find tasks at which children can be successful, master and go on to the next challenge. If they have difficulty, break it down into smaller parts. This starts in the family. Children feel useful and an important part of the family when they do age appropriate chores. Give some basic guidance for dusting, for example. Let them work, check up and praise for doing a nice job. Competence is part of resilience. Teach them to help others and join healthy groups like scouts, church, or community volunteers. Resilient kids think of others.

Resilience is the ability to bounce back after a disappointment or difficulty. There is often a tug of war between desiring to help children be happy and safe and teaching them to get up, dust themselves off and start all over again. Research from medical groups has suggestions for families.

Communities teach safety through the schools and send home materials. Follow up. It is a great time for family conversations, safety plans and practice. When the fire department sends home a request to practice a fire drill, stop, drop, and roll and smoke-alarm battery checks, take time for their requests.

Can they call 9-1-1? Can children find a store employee (service desk) if lost? Do they stop, look and listen when they are old enough to cross a street because they have practiced with adults? Do adults ask every day for two good things that happened and one thing that can be improved so families know what is going on? Are backpacks checked daily for school notes and homework? There are usually signs that things are not quite right — like bullying — if the family’s radar is up. Information and practice help children be resilient and confident.
Deep breathing
Teaching young children to deeply breathe helps them to think and cope with stressful situations like standing in front of a class, taking tests or other tough situations. The habit of deep breathing medically calms the body, slows the heart and helps control pain. It helps all of us think before saying or doing something we may regret. Slowly inhaling through the nose filters the air and is better for oxygen uptake. The exhale, which slows the heart rate, should be longer than the inhale. Practice keeping the shoulders down and neck relaxed. The bigger inhale forces the abdomen to expand, the diaphragm to extend and pushes the ribs out. See grandparentsteachtoo.org for more family information.

Thomas, a 6-foot, 5-inch senior, would score 15 of the opening-quarter points for Arvada West and would finish with a gamehigh 33 points. His brother, junior Luke, would finish the game with 14 points. With the victory, Arvada West improved to 19-5 with its first-round win and went on to play Fossil Ridge (17-6) Feb. 28. Legacy, located in Broomfield and coached by Gunnar Johnson, finished the season with a 10-14 record. Legacy’s Jeffrey Salazar, who would only score six points in the game, would put an end to the scoreless beginning with his basket with 4:13 left in the opening quarter. The Lightning would trail, 52-25, at the half and fall behind, 73-43, going into the fourth quarter. “We just hit a lot of shots and we did what we needed to do tonight,” said Neff, who

also scored on seven, three-point baskets. “We played tough to begin with and were able to build an advantage. We just knew what we had to do to get the win. My teammates just hit the shots when they needed to and that gave us a lot of confidence as the game went on.” Hitting the shots was right on for Arvada West as the Wildcats only missed 14 through the first half. It definitely was a beginning to the playoffs that Parriott was pleased with. Now, he certainly hopes the quick trend will continue.
“The boys played with a lot of energy early and that gave us a big boost,” Parriott said. “Thomas is one of the best offensive players around in the state this year. He just wants to be highly competitive like the others. We just want to be competitive and we can’t take any game at this stage lightly. “I think the boys played hard,” continued Parriott. “Zach (Kuhlmann) provides a wealth of defensive pressure for us and he is just so athletic. He has also proven to be an impact player for us, as well and as a guard, has a fine desire to get the ball to the inside guys.” It definitely was a fine night for Kuhlmann, who stands in at 5-11. He tallied 11 points with the help of a trio of three-point baskets. “I just tried to get the ball to the other guys and get my shots down when I had the opportunities,” Kuhlmann said. “I just want to see the offense go. We have a tough road ahead of us and we have to play hard and be focused on what we have to do.” Johnson knew his boys were in for a tough night from the beginning. And, those were the same thoughts from the Lightning players, juniors Logan Paulson and Tyler Converse. It’s also interesting to note that there are no seniors on the team for Legacy this season. “It just seemed that we didn’t come out to play like we wanted and we just didn’t click at the start,” said Converse, who led the Lightning with 14 points and stands in at 6-1. “In a state tournament game you certainly have to get off to a better start. “This has been a learning experience this year and we just want to be better next
year,” Converse said. “We’re not going to set back and put our heads down head. We had our heads down tonight and it just didn’t lead to good things.” Paulson, 6-4, had hoped for a much better night, as well. It just didn’t come about. “They came in tough and we just couldn’t get our shots down,” Paulson said. “We played them in a tournament (Broomfield) early in the season, so it wasn’t that we didn’t know what to expect. Thomas was on fire. I just couldn’t get down low and it just seemed to be a mismatch. “We will need to focus more and make the adjustments we need for next year,” said Paulson, who was held to four points. “Our work for next season starts tomorrow and we just need to strive for success. We’re young and we certainly can look ahead. This will always be considered a learning experience, as well.” It definitely was a sad ending to the season for Johnson. However, he feels this was a learning experience for his youthful team. “Give them a lot of credit as they got the shots and didn’t miss a lot,” Johnson said. “We just didn’t do what we needed to do. The first half looked bad and we just didn’t seem to be on a mission. This is our fault that we couldn’t close out on their shooting. “We just did a terrible job of trying to stop Neff and they all took advantage of us,” continued Johnson. “We played them earlier in the season, but we just didn’t do what we needed to do. We don’t have any seniors on the team, so this season has been a learning experience. I think the boys have learned from their experiences this season and that should definitely help us next year.”
Ralston Valley coach devoted to sport and players Despite quarterfinal loss, coach, and the ice remain By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com At 2 years old, Matt Schoepflin skated across ice for the first time, and from the first glide, developed a love for the sport of hockey. Today, 27 years later, he’s sharing that passion with 28 students from Ralston Valley High School as they embark upon the road to the state championships for the third year in a row. For the past four years, Schoepflin, a Ralston Valley alum, has been the head coach for the Ralston Valley High School hockey team, a position which he said he knew he’d one day tackle. “It’s one of those things that’s always been a part of my life and I honestly couldn’t imagine my life without having hockey in some respect,” Schoepflin said. “Growing up I knew I’d want to play as long as I could, and then after I couldn’t play anymore that I’d always want to get involved in coaching in some respect.” An Arvada native, Schoepflin grew up surrounded by hockey. From watching Colorado Avalanche games with his father to playing forward for different teams, such as Ralston Valley’s Mustangs and the Lake Forest College Foresters in Illinois, his love for the sport molded his coaching style into one filled with both experience and understanding. “Being able to play at a high level like I did and being fortunate to experience some of the things I did, I think I got to experience different roles that are involved in a hockey team,” he said. “That gives me a little bit of a unique perspective. I’ve been in their shoes I know what they’re going through.” A laid-back, passionate coach, Schoepflin’s players said he’s a calm leader who, while never satisfied, knows how to lead the team confidently and well. “He understands me,” said Joe Milar, a senior defenseman on the team, “He’s
Ralston Valley High School Hockey Coach, Matt Schoepflin, stands in front of the Apex ice rink he takes care of as one of his players photobombs him during practice. Photo by Crystal Anderson young, so he understands what we’re going through; what high school is like. We don’t see him as a friend, but we definitely know we can have fun with him and when to be serious.” Outside of coaching, Schoepflin spends his days at the Apex Center, 13150 W. 72nd Ave., caring for the ice his team skates on. During the week, he can be found running the Zamboni on the rink after each use and edging the ice once a week to keep it level.
For the players, his passion and knowledge of the sport motivates them to do their best. “He cares more about this program than just about anybody I know,” Milar said. “He wants it so bad for us that he’s not going to let us short ourselves — he’s going to make sure we put everything that we need to put into it.” Despite a loss in the state championship quarter finals last weekend, Schoepflin said
this is the time where the players have the opportunity to rise to the occasion, and achieve this goal. “I’m really proud of the way our team has come together,” he said of this year’s team. “I think the biggest thing every year is to remember, regardless of what happened last year or the last two years, this is a brand new team with new players, all 28 of these guys weren’t here last year, so the big message is to create your own history.”

Jaguar girls among state’s final eight D’Evelyn’s twin wins moves them up in state 4A hoop playoffs By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com D’Evelyn cleared two major hurdles last weekend by winning back-to-back games to advance to the Great Eight in the Class 4A state girls basketball tournament. The Jaguars bested Glenwood Springs 86-38 on Feb. 27 and outscored Silver Creek 72-61 to move on in the tournament. “When we play our game, shooting the lights out, trapping on defense to force turnovers that lead to score easy baskets, we are a good team,” D’Evelyn Coach Chris Olson said after the Glenwood Springs game. “This was a good win but we know we have to be ready to go tomorrow.” The two wins means the Jaguars will be at home at 7 p.m. March 6 against Sand Creek in Great Eight round of the state Class 4A playoffs. The Scorpions got to the Great Eight by beating Elizabeth 76-38 and outscoring Mead 65-40. The two wins raised Sand Creek’s record to 21-3 as D’Evelyn comes into the Great Eight matchup with a 20-5 record. The Jaguars score an average of 56.9 points per game while Sand Creek’s points per game average is 65.3. Morgan Ducklow is D’Evelyn’s scoring leader, averaging 17.3 points per game while Oliana Squires is the scoring leader for the Scorpions, averaging 18.1 points per game. Success is not something new to the Jaguars girls basketball team. This is the third year in a row the D’Evelyn team has won at least 20 games and third time in four years
the Jaguars have been a No. 1 seed in the Class 4A playoffs. The team’s bid to move up in the state playoffs got off to a good start Feb. 27 in the first round game against Glenwood Springs. The issue wasn’t in doubt long as in the Feb. 27 first round state tournament game against the 16-5 Glenwood Springs team as the Jaguars scored the first 17 points of the game and led 29 to 1 by the end of the first period. The Jaguars shot selection included attempts from three-point range as well as shorter distance jumpers plus inside buckets that included put-backs and fast-break layups. D’Evelyn played pressure defense from the opening tipoff until the final buzzer. The often players trapped the player with the ball and clogged up the passing lanes and the pressure frequently created turnovers that the Jaguars frequently turned into points. D’Evelyn connected on a dozen threepoint baskets and scored on 47 percent of their shots. Ducklow was the scoring leader with 27 points, Aubrey Sotolongo scored 18 points and Lexi Reed scored 13. They were among nine Jaguar players scoring points as they won, 86-38. “I expected we would win, but I didn’t expect to win by this many points,” he said. “As I said, I wasn’t surprised by how many points we scored because we have played that way in other games this season.” Ducklow, the only senior on the Jaguar roster this season, said it was a fun night for me and for our team tonight. “We have been practicing hard and playing good basketball so I’m not surprised we won but I am a little surprised by the size of the win,” she said after the game. “We were relaxed tonight and everything clicked for us. Personally, I think I shot well tonight because we have spent a lot of time practicing shooting the basketball.”

SPORTS ROUNDUP Girls Basketball Ralston Valley 54, Poudre 31: The Mustangs placed three scorers in doublefigures as they advanced in the 5A State Tournament with a win over the Impalas on Feb. 27. Chloe Gillach scored 15 points to lead the way, Makena Prey scored 12, and Ashley Van Sickle added 11. Hannah Weber chipped in with a team-high 10 rebounds. Regis Jesuit 46, Pomona 40: A 16-11 lead at the end of the first quarter was not enough for the Panthers in their attempt to knock off the Raiders in first round action in the 5A State Tournament. The Raiders outscored the Panthers 22-11 over the middle two quarters en route to their advancing in the Alice Barron Region. Ezekia Johnson, 16 points and nine rebounds, and TaeKenya Cleveland, 14 points and eight rebounds, led the offense for the Raiders. Faith Christian 35, Colorado Academy 34: The Eagles found a way to claw back and claim victory in the third-place game of the 3A Metro District Tournament on Feb. 28. Trailing by six points entering the final quarter, the Eagle would put together by far their best offensive quarter of the night outscoring the Mustangs 15-8. Hristina Geraskova finished with a
double-double, 10 points and 10 rebounds, and Carsen Cambier recorded 13 points, seven rebounds, and five assists to lead the comeback. Bishop Machebeuf 50, Faith Christian 41: Jonni Smith’s 25 points and seven rebounds led the Buffaloes over the Eagles in semifinals of the 3A Girls Metro District Tournament on Feb. 26. Torie Huddleston added 17 points for the Buffaloes. The Eagles drop to play for third place in the tournament. Faith Christian 68, Peak to Peak 42: The Eagles were able to advance against a feisty Puma squad in the 3A Metro District Tournament on Feb. 24. The Pumas held with the Eagles through the first quarter, but the Eagles outscored the Pumas 37-11 over the second and third quarters. Carsen Cambier led the Eagles in scoring with 16 points and six assists on the night. Loveland 71, Arvada West 23: The Indians never allowed the Wildcat offense to get going as they cruised to victory in the first round of the 5A State Tournament on Feb. 24. The Wildcats were held to 12 first half points and had trouble handling the Indians’ Emma Sterkel all night.

58: The Eagles rode a strong first-half performance to victory over the Buffaloes on Feb. 24 in the 3A Metro District first round. A 19-point halftime lead for the Eagles was enough as the Buffaloes made a run late in the third quarter and into the fourth. Faith Christian was able to control the boards the entire game helping them to victory.
Ice Hockey
Cherry Creek 2, Ralston Valley 1: For the first time in three seasons, there will be a new State Champion in CHSAA Hockey as the two-time defending champion Mustangs fell to the Bruins in second round action on Feb. 28. Max Tennant and Jack Venuto scored first period goals for the Bruins and Brady Mielnicki held the lead there stopping 26 shots over the first two periods. The Mustangs got a goal back at the 16:52 mark of the third period thanks Joe Millar’s even-strength unassisted goal. But, Mielnicki would withstand the Mustang onslaught and finished the night with 41 saves in the win. Ralston Valley had earlier beaten Pine Creek 10-0 in the first round. — Compiled by Chase Ellis/cellis@ coloradocommunitymedia.com

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF FEB. 23, 2015
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Having second thoughts could be a good thing, even if you’re determined to go through with your plans. You might find it worthwhile to take a fresh look at how things have been set up. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Financial matters could continue to be a problem until you’re able to straighten out some of the more pesky situations. Once that happens, the rest should be easier to unsnarl. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Family matters once again take center stage, and should be dealt with competently and quickly. And, again, insist on others taking on their fair share of the responsibilities.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Your creative pursuits seem to be running into a roadblock. But rather than blame outside factors, look within to see if you might be holding back your efforts for some reason. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Keep that keen Cat’s Eye focused on relevant aspects of this new situation in your life. Don’t be distracted by trivial matters. You need the pertinent facts before making a decision. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) As much as you prefer doing things on your own, continue to accept help if you still need to resolve the problem affecting your project. Some cheerful news is about to come your way. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) While you might begrudge the added time it will take to get your project from point A to B to C, etc., you could benefit from the facts that will emerge over this expanded time span. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Regarding your workplace suggestions, be prepared to produce the facts to counter reactions from skeptics who feel your approach is unreasonable or even impossible. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Savvy Sagittarians will look for work-related answers on their own rather than rely on unproved assumptions. It might take more time to do so, but the payoff is worth it. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your aspects continue to favor family issues, with special emphasis this week on changes in and around your home. Get everyone to suggest what he or she would like to see done. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A matter you thought had been settled might still produce surprises. Best advice: Continue to gather facts to bolster your position just in case you need to produce them quickly. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) While your instincts are usually right when discerning ‘twixt truth and deception, you could benefit from doing more research on the new “prospect” that you’ve been pitched. BORN THIS WEEK: Your wisdom is only matched by your generosity, making you the sort of friend everyone hopes to have. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
