awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Outstanding performances abounded from some of the nation’s most talented young pianists at the 56th annual Jefferson Symphony Orchestra International Young Artists Competition on Saturday, Jan. 10. Twelve finalists were selected to compete for the top three spots in the evening’s recital Saturday including first place for a performance soloist in a fundraising and a chance to play with the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra. “As a musician, this is the high point of the year,” said Steve Dreher, flutist, and committee member for the international young artist competition. “These kids are just amazing.” Sherry Kim, 22, who studies at the Manhattan School of Music, took first place with a spirited performance of Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 1, Op. 1 in F minor. “I really wanted the chance to play with an orchestra because it’s really just an amazing piece and this Rachmaninoff concerto is very underplayed,” Kim said. “I think with competitions it’s all an education experience — it’s another performance opportunity even though you are

selected concertos which were all works from Rachmaninoff Concerto No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. Originally, 14 applicants were received for the competition in which 12 finalists were selected. Artists applying for the competition were students from across the
Pulse of the scene Ken Caryl Art Guild works with Valkarie gallery By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Belmar’s Valkarie Gallery is starting off 2015 with its first partnership with an arts group.

Valarie Savarie, co-founder of the gallery, said several members of the guild attended shows at Valkarie and inquired about hosting a group show. “They (the Ken Caryl Art Guilt) are kind of a collective, which we kind of are ourselves so we wanted to support other artists,” she said. “We always want to offer different art here.” The gallery plays host to one-to-three artists at a time, so Pulse is the gallery’s most diverse show to date. Nall said in addition to providing a place to display their work, the show offers a chance for the artists to network
U.S. “A lot of the applicants are foreign born but almost all of them are studying in the U.S.,” said Frani Bickart, committee member for the international young artists competition. “It’s a friendly competition — we believe that it fulfills an educational purpose not only for the applicants but also for area students and teachers.” It also opens doors for Jeffco residents to be host families for the young artists with an opportunity to connect to other cultures, said Jeri Lou Maus of Arvada. The Maus’ attended the competition to watch Soyoung Kim, 23, from South Korea. Kim received an honorable mention. “It’s worthwhile, it broadens our understanding of different cultures,” Maus said. “I think opening homes — rather than Con brio continues on Page 10
Hickenlooper seeks help for unemployed Initiative aims to help those who have been without a job for at least 26 weeks By Ivan Moreno

The Ken Caryl Art Guild is showing its first exhibition at Belmar’s Valkarie Fine Art Gallery. The guild has been hard at work to create new work and expand the reach of their group. Pictured is Mirror Images 4 by Judy Ahlborn. Courtesy photo and share the guild’s story. The guild started in 2004 as a way to offer artists in south west Jeffco a place to learn and grow their skills. Nall added there aren’t a lot of galleries in the Ken Caryl area, so these kinds of partnerships are important. “Our artists have the ability to network and share information,” he said. “We’ve had shows at other Lakewood venues like the cultural center and Lake-
wood Arts Council gallery.” For Savarie and the gallery, these kinds of local arts groups are important to keep the community connected. “Art is self-expression, it’s therapeutic and social,” she said. “Our gallery tries to get everyone in, educated and engaged.” For more information visit www. kencarylartguild.org and www.valkariefineart.com.
Gov. John Hickenlooper’s administration wants to help people who have been unemployed at least 26 weeks find jobs with a $3 million initiative aimed at connecting them with interested employers. Hickenlooper on Jan. 8 announced the plan, which will utilize a new website to connect Colorado employers with workers. The $3 million comes from the federal government, with the state kicking in $100,000 for the website. The federal funding will go for job or interview training, counseling and internships for the longterm unemployed. According to the state Department of Labor and Employment, nearly 50,000 people in Colorado have been unemployed for at least 26 weeks, which is defined as long-term unemployment. “It does change the way you go about your day. It changes how you relate with your family, your friends,” Hickenlooper. “It changes what you see in the mirror, some of the old confidence and things you took for granted isn’t the same.” Overall, the job outlook for the state has improved. Colorado’s unemployment rate is 4.1 percent. But state officials say there is a stigma associated with being out of work long term, presenting a challenge for job seekers. In some cases, the jobs that they once held no longer exist or they have been unable to keep up with the skills they need in their field, said Ellen Golombek, the executive director of the state labor department. “Many of these long-term unemployed are highly qualified. Their skills just don’t match the jobs that are currently open,” Golombek said.

County officials ready to leave posts New leaders sworn in this week By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com A few Jeffco elected officials are bidding farewell to their positions as the New Year gives way to new faces and fresh perspectives. The officials leaving their posts include Sheriff Ted Mink, Clerk and Recorder Pam Anderson, and County Assessor Jim Everson. County Commissioner Faye Griffin will vacate her position early but will be replacing Anderson as Jeffco Clerk and Recorder. “When I ran for clerk and recorder — I didn’t think it would bother me as much,” Griffin said about leaving. “It’s going to be different.” For one thing, Griffin will be seating at the opposite side of the table during staff briefings where heads county departments sit and speak with the Board of County Commissioners. Sheriff Ted Mink, who is term limited, will be moving on to the Colorado Bureau of Investigations as the deputy director of statewide investigations. At CBI, Mink will be reunited with his former partner and
freshman dorm room buddy in college; Ron Sloan, director of CBI. He said he is looking forward to the challenge. “It’s obviously a new environment, a new culture and hopefully whatever I’ve done over my last 42 years I can lend some expertise and help the organization move forward,” Mink said. Pam Anderson, who served as clerk and recorder for two terms, and County Assessor Jim Everson, will be taking some time off before entering back into the work force. Many anticipated Anderson’s run for Secretary of State in the 2014 election, but she said last year wasn’t the right time to run for state office.’ “I’m not ruling that out,” Anderson said reassuringly. “Politics is hard, it’s a challenging environment to be in. I have been blessed to represent a very politically diverse constituency, which has been challenging and wonderful at the same time,” she said. “I took the approach that I represented all the citizens of my county and tried to do that as best I could with a thought to my basic values which I hope they shared.” On Tuesday, Jan. 13, Faye Griffin and Ron Sandstrom will be sworn in as clerk and recorder and county assessor.
Outgoing Jeffco Sheriff Ted Mink shares a laugh with Pam Anderson, Jeffco clerk and recorder, during a farewell reception for outgoing Jeffco officials on Wednesday, Jan. 7. Newly elected Sheriff Jeff Shrader will replace the term-limited Mink. County Commissioner Faye Griffin will be sworn in as the new clerk and recorder as early as Tuesday, Jan. 13. Photo by Amy Woodward “It’s going to be different for me not say ‘madam chair’,” Commissioner Don Rosier said about Griffin’s departure. “These are some outstanding individuals, they have really set the bar at a really high level.” Rosier will also be sworn in for his second term as well as County Treasurer Tim Kauffman and County Coroner John Gra-
ham. “I’m looking forward to all the new elected officials coming in,” Rosier said. “There are opportunities to changes things as they see in their departments. They will bring a new perspective that maybe was not seen in the past, it’s always good to have some new eyeballs.”
District soccer pitch garners top honor Turf management key to game, safety By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com The North Area Athletic Complex in Jefferson County has been recognized for being one of the best school soccer fields in the nation. The award was given by the Sports Turf Managers Association, a national professional association for the men and women who manage athletic fields for professional, collegiate and high school stadiums. Sun
Roesslein, stadium manager at NAAC, will accept the award Friday, Jan. 16, in downtown Denver. Roesslein, along with fellow stadium manager, Christi Clay, are now nationally recognized experts in the critical skill of turf management. “There is a lot of science behind what we do every day,” said Roesslein, noting that overwatering or not enough irrigation, for example, can be a game changer. “It really impacts the surface and in turn, affects the game and players.” Stadium managers are responsible for just about everything, she said, which means fertilizing, mowing, irrigation, watering and

helping to support events. The NAAC contains both a football and soccer field, and is the home field for six of Jeffco’s northern schools. During the fall soccer season, NAAC held 42 games with the complex capable of hosting two games a night, five days a week. “When you look at all of the factors that can affect the playability of a living, growing surface, it is truly a very experienced and knowledgeable sports turf manager that is necessary in order to maintain those surfaces,” said Kim Heck, CEO for Sports Turf Managers Association. “This is a pinnacle award.” The application process is about as meticulous as turf management, with applicants
required to submit detailed logs and assessments about the field, as well as a management plan, list of equipment, photos and sports schedule. “The field of the year awards — we award that to fields and to the field manager who have managed their field in innovative ways using resources the best way possible, providing safe and ascetically, lovely fields for fans,” Heck said. “A whole combination of criteria has to be met in order to even submit the application.” In April, Roesslein will celebrate 10 years in the field of turf management. “I still love coming to work today,” she said. “It’s definitely an honor to have been chosen.”

More Than Ever, Overpriced Homes Sell for Less Than Underpriced Homes The longer this seller’s market goes on, the more obvious it is that a home cannot be underpriced, it can only be overpriced — and those overpriced homes often end up selling for less than the underpriced homes, if they sell at all. I have written before about a house which was first priced at $645,000, then reduced to $625,000 and eventually taken off the market because it didn’t sell. I listed an almost identical home for $580,000 and it quickly went under contract for $618,000 from competitive bidding — before I could even hold an open house. I had the same scenario happen this past week. I advertised a home for sale in the 500’s, then lowered it to the high 400’s before putting it on the MLS. We had more than a dozen showings the first day and our first offer was for $30,000 more than the listed price. If we had put it on the market at the original price, I suspect it would still be sitting on the market with few showings and no offers. I also like to tell the story of a home that another agent listed a few years ago for $1.2 million. After languishing on the market, the
listing broker convinced the seller to lower the price to $600,000. Within days it was under contract for $1.1 million. A very gutsy move! Sellers too often fall victim to the belief that because it’s a seller’s market they can dictate a high price for their homes. Those are often the homes that end up not selling at all. Another common mistake by sellers is to calculate how much they invested in the home and expect to recapture that investment upon selling. The hardest task of any agent can be convincing a seller that the market doesn’t care what they spent on the home. The market only cares about supply and demand and what a willing buyer will pay. This is particularly true with money spent on purchasing a solar PV system for one’s house. If you do decide to invest in rooftop solar for your home, I suggest you lease rather than purchase. This way you put no money down for the system and pay less in monthly lease costs than you would have paid for the electricity generated. Then when you sell the house, you don’t have to try to get real value for the solar PV because you didn’t pay for its installation. Instead you just have to convince the buyer to assume the lease — which should be a no-brainer.
Second Thoughts About Rooftop Solar PV Don’t get me wrong — I’m a huge fan of solar panels. I have a 10-kilowatt photovoltaic system both at my home and at Golden Real Estate. And those solar panels not only power my home, they also power my electric cars. But since writing that column about community solar gardens a couple weeks ago, I’m increasingly of the opinion that rooftop solar may not always be the best way to take advantage of this technology. Rooftop solar is inherently limited because you can’t install rooftop panels that face east in the morning and then track the sun westward across the sky. The way to maximize PV effectiveness is to put those panels in a field somewhere away from your home where they can track the sun and where there are no trees to shade them. Sunshare and Clean Energy Collective are two local companies that lease and sell solar panels in remote locations whose production can be credited to the electric meter on your home. Further benefits include no need for permitting or HOA approval, and if you move, you haven’t lost your investment — your solar panels are merely reassigned to your new meter. And there’s no limit to the solar capacity you can have, unlike the 10-kilowatt limitation on rooftop installations.

Jeffco sergeant dies in fatal crash Sheriff ’s Office struggles with loss Staff Report The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office suffered a loss after Sergeant Sean Renfro was hit and killed on the afternoon of Saturday, Jan. 3, as he tried to assist motorists from a previous crash. It’s been less than a year since the Sheriff’s Office experienced a tragic loss after Sgt. David Baldwin was hit head-on while responding to a call on his motorcycle on Highway 93 in January of last year. Renfro was outside of his vehicle, directing traffic around the crash site when he was struck. He died at the scene. On Monday, Jan. 12, police officers from across the state attended Renfro’s memorial. “It’s tough,” said Jeffco Sheriff Ted Mink on the loss of his sergeant. “He’s one of those individuals that had unquestionable character, loyalty to his profession, an outstanding family man,” Mink said. “On the day of that tragedy, I’m not surprised he did what he did, I’m
very proud of what he did, but it’s just the kind of person he was to stop and help somebody regardless if he was in uniform or not to make sure they were safe.” The initial crash happened in the southbound lanes of Highway 285 at Doubleheader Ranch Road, eight miles west of C-470, when a Mitsubishi SUV lost control and ran off the road, and hit the mountain. Renfro arrived, and was offering aid when his vehicle was struck from behind by another southbound vehicle. No injuries were reported from the first two crashes, but a northbound Ford Escape SUV then lost control, and crossed the highway, striking Renfro and Samual Yesurantnam, 46, from Conifer, who had also stopped to help the initial crash. Yesurantham was transported to a hospital with minor injuries. In the truck at the time of the fatal crash, were the occupants from the initial crash: Chauncey White, 26, from Denver, Kenneth Tate, 20, from Castle Rock, and Angus Tate, 1, from Denver. They were unharmed. A Colorado State Trooper on the scene also sustained minor injuries after being hit with debris. He was treated at the scene. The Escape was driven by Blair Gledhill of Denver, 22, who suffered minor injuries and
The children of Jefferson County Sgt. Sean Renfro were present at the podium during Monday’s memorial service, attended by friends, family and other law enforcement. Associated Press was taken to St. Anthony’s Hospital. Highway 285 was closed for on-scene investigation for approximately 5 hours. This crash is still under investigation by the Colorado State Patrol. At the time of the crash adverse weather was reported and snow cov-
ered and icy roads were present. Charges at this time have not been filed against Gledhill. “We are all struggling with the loss of Sean,” said Jeffco Sheriff Spokesman, Mark Techmeyer. “He was a tremendous person who we will all miss terribly.”

LAKEWOOD CITY COUNCIL ON THE RECORD
Council voted 7-3 (Johnson, Roybal and
Wiechman were the no votes) to approve a new charitable giving pilot program that aims to make the selection of groups to donate to easier. The pilot program was part of the budget approved in late 2014 and creates a committee selected by the mayor. The committee will make recommendations to council at a meeting in May about which groups the city should support. The make-up of the committee will be two members of the Lakewood Legacy Foundation, two city council members and three residents. Wiechman wanted to amend the resolution to remove the mayor as the committee selector and instead make it the Lakewood
Legacy Foundation, but the motion died for lack of a second. Johnson voiced a desire to ensure the money stays only with Lakewood residents, but Murphy and other councilmembers said that would hamstring groups like Seniors’ Resource, the Action Center and the Boys & Girls Club who work on a county level. City Manager Kathy Hodgson added in the applications, groups have to demonstrate how Lakewood residents benefit from their services. The next council meeting is a regular meeting at 7 p.m. on Jan. 26 at Civic Center South, 480 S. Allison Parkway. — Compiled by Clarke Reader
and human services and veterans and military affairs committees. The variety of committees Tyler sits on reflects his diverse interests and he will bring all that to bear in 2015. “One thing we need to do is pass a good budget which will be difficult because TABOR is taking so much money from huge holes we have thanks to the recession,” he said.
Some of the key issues Tyler wants to see addressed in the session revolve around oil and gas and workforce development. As the chair of the transportation and energy committee, Tyler expects the discussion over oil and gas to be contentious for a long time. He said the root of the conflict is around local control and added that the lowering oil prices seen around the country will play a role in the discussion.
“Whatever we do we need to make sure the industry is as clean as possible,” Tyler said. “We have new EPA rules coming we need to look at because of pollution.” One of Tyler’s first bills aims to create a prescription giveback program that saves medicines from being disposed of and instead gets them to those in need. After the midterm shakeup, Tyler said the parties will continue working together.
During the Jan. 12 regular meeting city council approved the council officers for 2015 and approved a charitable giving pilot program for the city.
in November and already has Mayor Bob Murphy’s support, being mayor pro tem again is a council endorsement of Paul for mayor. Johnson said the selection was done for political gain and favoritism. Murphy, Ward 3 councilwoman Shakti and Ward 5 councilman Tom Quinn all voiced their support for Paul based on his leadership skills. In the end Paul was approved with a 7-3 vote (Johnson, Ward 3 councilman Pete Roybal and Wiechman were the no votes).
Council officers Ward 5 councilwoman Karen Harrison was unanimously selected to take over as council president from Ward 2 councilman Scott Koop, and Ward 4 councilman Adam Paul was selected as mayor pro tem for a second year over some contentious debate. Paul’s ward mate David Wiechman and Ward 1 councilman Ramey Johnson raised an objection to the selection, stating that since Paul will be a candidate for mayor

Resolving to help How are those New Year’s resolutions working out for you so far? If you are like a lot of people, somewhere in your resolutions was a mention of “finding your dream job” or “meeting your dream person” or “buying your dream home.” Dreams are a big part of the new year, it seems, as if the changing of the calendar suddenly animates hopes to leap out of our imaginations and into reality. Sadly, too many dreams remain in our imagination, kinda like how those 15 extra pounds of Christmas cookies remain on our hips. Sometimes, that’s from a lack of effort (also, like the hips); sometimes, it’s a lack of luck (again, the hips, if you consider genetics). It really struck me, watching both “The Voice” and “The Sing Off” last month, just how much talent there is in the world that never gets to grace the cover of “Rolling Stone.” Any of the finalists on either of those shows had the tools to be a superstar—they were certainly comparable to certain megastars who sound just horrible away from the trappings of fame (ahem cough cough Mariah Carey cough). The big difference was that none of them, until the show, had the good fortune to be “discovered,” even though it was obvious how much effort they had all put into their craft. I was recently watching “The Ultimate Gift,” which is one of my Christmas-time
favorites (which, incidentally, was written and self-published by a blind man, Jim Stovall, who was also an Olympic weight lifter). And one of the lessons of the story is that, sometimes, helping somebody else’s dream come true is just as important as nursing your own dream to reality. Malcolm Gladwell wrote about a similar role in “The Tipping Point.” He calls the person who makes a trend catch fire a “Maven.” The Maven is not the creative person, who comes up with the great idea; nor is he or she the industrious person who takes an idea and brings it to reality. The Maven is the person who takes the good idea and tells the world about it. Imagine the Maven as being the Hollywood starlet who wears the quirky fashion by the complete unknown to the awards ceremony first. One day, nobody has ever heard about the designer; the next day, the whole world is talking about them. The most dramatic
instance of this, that I can remember, was with Icelandic singer Bjork and her unique fashion sense. Well, maybe not. Everybody has it in their capacity to help somebody else along on their journey. Of course, no Maven can make a brilliant trend out of a pile of mud, nor will the idea that has no energy or effort behind it ever get off the drawing board, no matter how well-placed the Maven. But, if you’re not too busy chasing your own dream down, be on the lookout for other peoples’ dreams. You never know when a wellplaced word to friends of yours become a rumor out into your circle of contacts which spreads like wildfire well beyond your sphere of influence. And, to that end, I would love to hear about your dreams. There are people reading this who are working on things that they are dying to tell people about, and I would be honored to have a part in telling the world (or, at least, the vast readership of this column) about your idea.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Legislative priorities? With a new year also comes a new session for the state legislature. So we asked a few area residents, “What legislation would you like to see come out of the 2015 legislative session?”
“Actually, I want more streamlined government, less regulations and hoops for small businesses to jump through. I want less, not more, and since they’re there, be efficient.” Andy Thomas, owner of Rolling Sands retail in Olde Town Arvada
Just expedite the light rail being built, and getting it off the ground. That makes it easier for folks in downtown to get to Arvada.” Jacob Stanley, owner of Adventurer’s Quarter in Olde Town Arvada
“Gun rights are important. Local representation is important and the local representation of the people is important so that the Bill of Rights and not only our federal constitution, but the our state constitution and rights are upheld.” Debra Stephenson, Denver
“I’d like them to provide us information and research — things are changing around here, there’s parking going away, businesses going away, businesses are coming in and the parking garage is going in. I want to know what happens in other communities where the light rail is coming in.” Wayne Leanza, co-owner of the The Book Cranny in Olde Town Arvada

‘Song’ of 2015 in the key of Life It’s that time of year again for me to not make resolutions. Instead, I choose one word to focus on to live by, and to see how this word comes into play for me throughout the coming year. Or, as often happens, the word chooses me. Since 2012, I’ve moved though “alchemy,” “light,” and “persistence.” Each of these words defined me in different ways – in my writing, in my personal life, in my work. In what I stand for, and what I take a stand against. Where I spend my time and energy … and why. At first I didn’t want “persistence” last year. It didn’t have the mystery of “alchemy,” or the magic of “light.” I definitely needed persistence in 2014, though – a job change, a(nother) move, and a series of endeavors, which, had I been anything less than persistent, would have turned out quite differently. So I was eager for my 2015 word, which found me early – and clearly – on Dec. 26.
By mid-December, the word “dance” had been waltzing around in my mind, but had never really gained a toehold. “Music,” an integral part of my daily life, was beating a rhythm in my brain as well, but it, too, never struck the right chord. Yet each was to lead me to “song,” my word for the year. On Christmas night, while I was visiting friends in a winter wonderland near Steamboat Springs, I was given an impromptu piano lesson from a grade school
music book. We progressed a few measures at a time until we reached a piece called “Sandman,” which descended ominously from middle C into the bass clef. This gloomy movement disturbed me and we quickly moved on to a song about apples. Yet, that’s when I learned that music can be written in a major key or a minor key, and that’s when, later that night, the word “song” chose me. At first, as a purveyor of words, I thought the word was “sing.” Certainly much of why I write is to give voice where I feel there is none. And yet, and yet … my need for 2015 was more basic, more of a building block for what’s to come. Hence the word “song.” I have come to believe that to make music, we have to start with a song. I suppose I could go to a deeper level and start with notes, or even with sounds. But for me, music begins with the song, a feeling that became even more apparent as I learned
about the major and minor keys. That’s not to say that all minor key songs are bad, or that all major key songs are good, for that matter. In fact, my young singer/songwriter friend shared this lyric: “Be right here, sing your song. Don’t worry, son, if it comes out wrong.” When I was in college, Stevie Wonder’s “Songs in the Key of Life” became the soundtrack for one of my greatest life transitions. For 2015, I will live with a song in my heart, a song that’s jubilant, that’s aware, that’s compassionate, that’s thoughtful and present. I won’t care if it comes out wrong … I will live with a song in my heart in the key of Life. Andrea Doray is a writer who says, quoting Dobie Gray: “I want you to know I believe in your song.” Contact her at a.doray@andreadoray.com.

Dems first bills address early education
House Democrats began the 2015 legislative session by introducing a package of bills to improve early childhood education and extend an economic program supporting small businesses in Colorado. HB15-1001, sponsored by Reps. Brittany Pettersen and Alec Garnett, D-Denver, creates a scholarship program for early childhood educators who continue their own education and improve their teaching skills.

Changing city losing classic bowling alley
Artist Charlie Roy
By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Pop art often delights in transforming familiar images with different lenses. Three different approaches to this bold and dynamic genre are featured in the Arvada Center galleries. The center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., is running its exhibitions through March 29. The galleries are open to the public Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 1-5 p.m. “So much of this work triggers memories for people,” said gallery curator Collin Parson. The main gallery is home to “repopulated,” which features contemporary perspectives on pop art. The works tell the story of movement and is made up of work from the collection of the CU Art Museum in Boulder. The show features pioneers of the movement such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg and James Rosenquist. To give the show some local flavor, 15 regional artists will also be included. The upper gallery features the work of local artist and co-founder of the Pirate: Contemporary Art gallery, Phil Bender. He uses found items — from license plates and rolling pins to game boards — to create grids and stacks. “My art evolved from being a collector and from my grandfather, who was kind of a folk artist,” Bender explained. “I’m inspired by grocery and dime store shelves and by places that hang license plates on the wall.” Bender cites Andy Warhol and Mar-

cel Duchamp as major inspirations, as well as the works produced in the Dada, Surrealist and Pop movements. “I’ve spent a lot of time on nonsensical things,” he said with a chuckle. “I’m very serious about nonsense.” The appreciation for culture and its ridiculousness is shared by Colorado Springs artist Sean O’Meallie, whose work is on display in the theater gallery. The exhibit features sculpted and painted wood creations that capture the boldness and playfulness of pop culture. O’Meallie worked as a toy inventor for a decade and that same sense of fun and discovery is present in his creations. “I want to create the freedom to seek delight,” he explained. “I take cultural symbols like bread, smiles and fingers and play with them.” Unlike Bender, the shapes O’Meallie works with don’t exist so he creates them from wood, starting with doodles and designing them from there. “With wood I can work quickly and economically,” he said. “Paint is a delightful visual stimulant and another for
Elitch Lanes, the 63-year-old bowling alley at 3825 Tennyson St., will host its last bowlers on May 17 when the lease on the historic building runs out. Business owner Cal Eichinger, who’s owned the kitschy place for 13 years and has been in the bowling biz for 40 years, said he wasn’t surprised when landowner Littleton Capital Partners declined to renew the lease. With Denver’s land values hitting record highs, Eichinger figured that the landlord can sell the site for beaucoup bucks or lease it to a tenant with deeper pockets. An email and phone call to Littleton Capital Partners were not returned. The building housing the bowling alley was built around 1900 as a trolley turnaround structure that was later converted to a coal barn, Eichinger said. It was part of the original Elitch Gardens amusement park and performing arts center location on West 38th. The Gardens moved, but the Lanes didn’t. Eichinger said he’s been notifying the regulars little by little. “Some of the seniors are so bummed out,” he said. But there’s a chance that Elitch Lanes will roll on in a new venue. Eichinger, who owns the name Elitch Lanes, said he’s meeting with another landowner today to discuss taking over an existing bowling alley 4.4 miles (he wouldn’t say which direction) from the existing business, which likely will take him to the ‘burbs. “This center is so unique, I’ve never been anywhere like it,” said Eichinger who’s worked in and visited roughly 100 bowling alleys. “Our customer base is so cool — it’s a true cross-section of ages and ethnicities.” To thank that customer base, Eichinger said he and his crew will throw a big exit bash around the May 17 closing date.
Missing these eateries
Colorado artist Phil Bender’s works use collections of items — from game boards to rolling pins — to make grids and stacks to celebrate the mundane.
While I much prefer to write about restaurant openings in our fair city, inevitably there are those that close. Some are big losses to our Mile High palate, others were more obviously headed for an epic fail. Thrillist.com, the irreverent food and drink website, has compiled a list of the “12 shuttered Denver bars and restaurants that we’ll miss.” They are: Bonanno Bros. Pizzeria in the Vistas at Park Meadows, Catacombs Bar in Boulder, Corner House Neighborhood Eatery in Jefferson Park, Chef Liu’s Authentic Chinese Cuisine in Aurora, Le Grande Bistro & Oyster Bar downtown, Ondo’s Spanish Tapas Bar in Cherry Creek, Oshima Ramen in southeast Denver, Row 14 Bistro & Wine Bar downtown, Restaurant Kevin Taylor downtown, twelve restaurant in Ballpark, TAG Raw Bar Larimer Square, T-Wa Inn southwest Denver.

Pettersen prepped for new session Four bills already introduced By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Brittany Pettersen knows from firsthand experience how important education is. She was the first in her family to graduate from both high school and college. Since being elected to House District 28 in 2012, education has been a top priority and that will continue into her second term. She also wants to make the economy
work for everyone and protect the state’s natural resources. “Colorado’s economic recovery is continuing, but too many hardworking Coloradans are feeling left out,” she said in an e-mail interview. “This session I will continue working to strengthen and expand Colorado’s middle class. I’ll be working to support small businesses and help them grow and ensure women get equal pay for equal work.” The session Pettersen is the vice chairwoman of the education committee and serves on the judiciary and appropriations committees.

Four bills that Pettersen sponsored have already been introduced: the first is HB151001 which creates a scholarship program for early childhood teachers to continue their education and improve their skills. She has also sponsored bills to create an additional 3,000 slots for half-day or fullday preschool students, extend the 6 percent cap on tuition increases at higher education intuitions from 2014 indefinitely and a bill that incentivizes non-custodial parents to pay child support because “it allows the whole payment to go to the custodial parent instead of the government keeping a portion of the payment.”
Mandala.” Over the years, many issues have moved Yarrow to commit his time and talent, including equal rights, peace, the environment, gender equality, homelessness, hospice care and education. “We’re part of a long train ride,” is the way Yarrow visualizes the many events that have highlighted a career spanning more than five decades. “When I was in high school, I heard The Weavers’ concert at Carnegie Hall where they sang songs such as `If I Had a Hammer,’ and ‘Wasn’t That a Time.’ It was inspiring, and it showed me the extraordinary effect that music of conscience can have.”

RTD PUBLIC MEETINGS Proposed Service Changes for May 10, 2015
The results of November’s midterm election will be handled in a cooperative way — something Pettersen said is not new for the state. “Unlike Washington DC, almost everything we do in the Capitol is bipartisan. Last year, 96 percent of bills passed with bipartisan support and I am expecting to continue working well with my Republican colleagues,” she said. “Anything we send to Gov. Hickenlooper’s desk will have to be bipartisan. However, I am not interested in undoing the progress we made in last General Assembly.”

48 minute monstrosity out of it.” But as the old saying goes, it doesn’t matter if you win or lose but how you play the game — or in this case — the concerto. The Jefferson Symphony International Young Artists Competition seems to leave all the contestants with a better understanding of piano performance and music composition. “The last few minutes before I went on stage I was in room 112 downstairs, and there were inspirational quotes on the wall, one of them caught my eye that said don’t go into it expecting a massive improvement right of way,” Chien said. “Instead, real achievement comes from building it up slowly, from day to day learning a little bit, at a little bit. And if you keep learn like that you keep it, it’s solid,” he said. “For people who are trying to learning pieces — don’t give up, it may cost you a lot of time — but it’s worth it in the end.”

Chien, who played Rachmaninoff’s Concert No. 3, Op. 30 in D minor, has been awarded first place in past competitions receiving the “Most Promising Young Talent” special award in the 9th International Russian Piano Competition’s Young Musician category. “Now that I’ve actually played this piece, I find myself being more intrigued by it every day,” Chien said of Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 3. “It’s so Russian — it’s mysterious, there’s a system of tension and release that’s a theme throughout the entire piece.

New pins for the new year Thornton off to strong start By Scott Stocker WESTMINSTER – There’s nothing like coming back from the holiday break and to begin the New Year with a decisive victory. It definitely was a dominating performance by the Thornton wrestlers in last Saturday’s Westminster Invitational as the Trojans, coached by Jeremy Deherrera, came through with four champions and one runner-up. Through it all, Thornton scored 184 points to overwhelm host Westminster (111) and Hinkley (105). Littleton, with 92 points, and Colorado Springs Mitchell with 84, finished fourth and fifth, respectively. Thornton came through with championships at 126-pounds, 132, 152 and 182, and second at 113. Six other Thornton wrestlers were able to wrestle for third place in the tournament, thus capping a day in which Deherrera was pleased. “I feel great about how the team performed today,” Deherrera said. “We’ve been working hard in practice to be able to perform well. I just want the team to be aggressive and feel confident. We came here to win and we were able to do it.” Elijah Miscles, at 126, got the championship run going for Thornton beating Westminster’s Angel Baltierra, 9-2, for his title. He had a first round bye, then pinned Littleton’s Poe Di in 3:24 then reach the final with a 8-2 victory against Mitchell’s Abraam Arreguin-Almanz. “We were here to all do a good job today and I’m happy with our situation,” Miscles said. “Baltierra was a tough opponent for me. I was able to throw hard at his legs and I wanted to wait until he made mistakes to get him down and turn him over.” Miscles’ brother, Joshua, was the second place finisher for Thornton as he was defeated by Cherry Creek’s Tristan Curtis, 9-5, in their 113-pound final. Wendell Berry won the second title for Thornton at 132, pinning Sand Creek’s Derrick Sutton in 2:29. He had a bye into
Thornton High school Wrestling team took 1st place with a score of 184.0 in Saruday’s Westminster Invitational. The team had first-place champions in the 126, 132, 152, and 182 weight classes. the quarter finals then made short work of his opponents. He pinned Montbello’s Hunter Connagham in :31 seconds then shouldered Cherry Creek’s Jarren Pond in :59 seconds. “It was a good tournament for me and all of us worked hard,” said Berry, who improved to 14-4 on the season. “The competition was good and the key for me was to take and make the good shots. You always want to score with you moves, but you still have to be cautious.” Adrian Kois, who improved to 16-4 on the season, was the third winner for Thornton pinning Mitchell’s Nick Longstreth for the 152-pound championship in 2:32. He also made use of pins downing Littleton’s Matt Ritchhie (1:06) in his quarterfinal, then teammate Alex Escorza
(1:13). “This wasn’t one of the toughest tournaments for me,” Kois said. “I just wanted all of us to go out and do a good job. The key was to keep our heads up and to go hard. My coach makes me feel confident and I want to work hard for him and my teammates. I just do not want any limits on my accomplishments.” Josh Cordova rounded out the quartet of titles for Thornton by pinning Westminster’s Marcus Martinez in 1:32 for the title at 182. “I was nervous and I just wanted to go out and take home a medal and make the coaches proud of me,” Cordova said. “I’ve been sick, but this was not going to stop me from winning. It was just important to come out and overcome the early ills and
win.” Brandon McKain-Miller, at 145, and Jacob Thomas, at 195, were the only champions for home-standing Westminster. McKain-Miller pinned Littleton’s Scott Corwin in 2:36 for his title after reaching the championship match with a pair of earlier pins. “The key for me is coming of age and have the goal of good sportsmanship within my sport,” McKain-Miller said. He defeated Matt Ewertz of Wiggins for his title, 6-0. “This was a tough tournament,” Thomas said. “I just wanted to go out and do what the coaches wanted. The key was to try and tire the others. I just want to also help all my teammates get better.”

Jahn ready to get to work Wants to focus on construction defects, consumer issues By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com District 20 Sen. Cheri Jahn has a lot of interests, as demonstrated by the issues she wants to focus on in the 70th general assembly. Jahn, who was re-elected in November, is looking to make progress on topics ranging from construction defects to biosimilars. “So many people want to talk about more affordable Jahn housing,” she said. “When you look at young people, often the first thing they buy is a condo but there aren’t any available. This is also plays a role in the high rent costs we have in Denver.” After three years of work, Jahn is finally
ready to present a biosimilars bill that will allow consumers to get information about cheaper, alternative prescriptions as long as the alternative has been FDA approved. She worked hard with pharmacies to provide this less expensive option for people with some debilitating diseases. “I’m all about the consumers — these biosimilars medications are already here and can help since some prescriptions are so expensive,” she said. Jahn sits on the audit and business affairs committees and said she is excited to look at some of the data that has been months in the making, particularly related to cash funds for groups like auto dealers and farmers. She said people in these professions should be able to keep as much of their money is possible without paying fees to these funds. The midterm elections in November brought some major changes to the legislature, but Jahn said she will continue her reputation for being a moderate. “I stay focused on the issues and stay out of the party politics,” she said.
Education remains drive behind Kerr Starts session with kindergarten funding By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com For years the top priority for District 22 Senator Andy Kerr has been education and that will remain his focus going into the 70th general assembly. Kerr, who is the ranking member of the education committee and sits on the finance committee, said that the work begun last year with his bill that created a tuition cap for universities was a good start but Daryl Wilson there is more still to do. “We need to expand on the work we’ve started and make the tuition cap permanent,” he said. “There’s still a lot to do around our K-12 education system — the funding we have for our schools is not adequate — it’s not even up to average yet.”
The first bill Kerr plans to sponsor centers on full funding for kindergarten students. He wants around $16 to $20 million to address the severe funding shortfalls kindergarten students face. Kerr also wants to reduce the testing done in schools and ensure that online school programs are of as high a quality as possible. Kerr was re-elected in November and said education was the No. 1 thing people had on their minds, and being a teacher really enforces how important education is. With the changes the elections brought about, Kerr said he will keep his dedication to bipartisan work going. “People sometimes only see the fights at the capitol and don’t see the amount of work we get done together,” he said. “Last year every bill I carried had bipartisan support.” There is no way to know what issues will become the most contentious, Kerr has learned. He said sometimes topics that seem like they would fizzle out and other times it’s a surprise what draws a lot of heat. “I will continue to getting the work of the people of Colorado done and leave the partisan bickering out of it,” he said.
All the hoopla: Jeffco Libraries offers new streaming service Jeffco Libraries offers new streaming service By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Jeffco Public Libraries have made it easier for patrons to stream and download music, audiobooks, movies and television thanks to a partnership with hoopla digital. Library card-holders can use hoopla to borrow media onto their smartphones, tablets and PCs. “We’re very excited about this new service,” said Debbi Mikash, collections manager with JCPL. “I spoke to other collections managers in the state, and no one had a negative thing to say about hoopla.” Patrons can download the free hoopla app to their mobile devices to enjoy the titles — which range from documentaries and child-friendly titles to Hollywood favorites and the latest album releases. “At JCPL, we’re committed to offering varied media and professional channels that align with the needs of our patrons,” said Donna Walker, public services director for JCPL, in a statment. “With hoopla digital, our patrons only need a library card to
access dynamic content on the hoopla app or website — free of charge. This new service provides a huge selection of materials, no waiting period for popular titles, and an automatic return feature that eliminates all late fees.” Mikash said patrons can borrow up to 10 items on hoopla per month. Movies and television series may be checked out for three days, music albums for seven days and audiobooks for 21 days. “With budget constraints we have to make hard choices on what services for our patrons to spend money on,” she said. “It’s all about access to material and I thought hoopla was the best place for it.” Jefferson County Public Library is the 11th library system in the state of Colorado to partner with hoopla digital. Current partners include Pueblo City-County Library District, AnyThink Libraries, Pikes Peak Library District, and Town of Vail Public Library. “So many people get new electronic devices for Christmas and hoopla is great for them,” Mikash said. “We hope it will give them another reason to love their device and to love their library.” For more information visit www.hoopladigital.com or www.jeffcolibrary.org/ downloads.
