ucked away in a little corner of Lakewood is a studio with big aspirations. C&H Glassworks, 11354 W. 13th Ave., No. 6, wants to become the most active glass-blowing studio in the state and has spent the past eight years steadily growing in prestige and accomplishment. “We started out working together and teaching advanced glass-blowing,” said Horace Marlowe, who runs the studio with Corey Silverman. “In the beginning we did a lot of retail shows and were driving all over the country,” Silverman added. “Now we’re focused on being faceto-face with our customers and developing our studio.” C&H specializes in creating unique creations that run the gamut from wine and pint glasses to lifesized glass pumpkins in a variety of hues. They’ve worked with a variety of artists and designers to create larger pieces, and their products can be found all over the country. The studio’s latest project is “CRYSTALIS,” a glasswork installation designed with 40 West artist Lonnie Hanzon and Ignaz Gorischek for Nieman Marcus’ Mariposa restaurant in Beverly Hills, California. “It is one of the largest projects we’ve done and it took us several months to do,” Silverman said. “CRYSTALIS” features more than 1,000 pieces of hand-blown glass and more than 8,000 components in
C&H Glasswork specializes in blown-glass creations, ranging from glasses to more free-form creations. The studio has several furnaces that are used to heat up the glass. total. It features clear glass “beads” curtaining booths in Mariposa to create two shimmering walls of light. The project took around four to six people working in C&H’s hot and cold shops to sculpt each individual piece and add it to the suspension wire. “We had a lot of flexibility and did a bunch of sample pieces in the process. There were endless designs we were able to try,” Marlowe said. Each of the shapes was uniquely created to make sure none of them were exactly alike. C&H has an eye on the future, and is looking to expand to a bigger studio space, which would allow Marlowe and Silverman room to have a gallery and work on all facets
of glass. C&H is still early in the process of finding a new space, and is working with 40 West Arts on finding a new space. Some of the studio’s work will be hung as part of an upcoming glasswork show at the Foothills Art Center in Golden. The studio is currently available for rent to visiting artists and groups, and C&H offers glass-blowing classes. “We want to make our studio available to people who may have never seen glass-blowing or how it works,” Marlowe said. “Our goal is to get people excited to learn something new.” For more information, call 303274-0643 or visit www.chglassworks. 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 Shows start at 7 p.m. kind of turned Friday, March 20 into this, I Friday, April 3 think, a really Friday, April 17 cool concept Friday, May 1 that provides Concessions and beer will be available to an incredibly unique envipurchase. ronment for fans, but it’s really been fun to interject some life into our old Livestock Arena at the same time,” said Scott Gales, director of the Jeffco Fairgrounds. 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 seconds 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.

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.

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

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 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 restaurant distillery in Idaho, has been cred-
ited 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.
Hearing aid synchs with mobile devices By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Getting older often brings with it a loss of hearing, but that shouldn’t mean sufferers should miss out on some of their favorite activities. Beltone Audiology and Hearing Aids is working with several audiologists in the west Jefferson County area to bring their latest technological advancement to patients — the Beltone First, the first hearing aid that can be controlled by an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. “Beltone lets us look at our patient as a complete package and see how we can address all their communication needs,”
said Kristie Taylor, doctor of audiology at Beltone’s Wheat Ridge office, 3552 Youngfield St., Suite B. “Hearing from our patients about their lifestyle and hearing aid options, many want the connection to their technology.” One of the key features of Beltone First is that it is completely wireless — there is no need for the pendant devices that many current hearing aids require. The ear buds synch directly with the device and can be controlled and customized through an app that the patient downloads. “We look at hearing first and take the patient’s demands from things like work and family,” said David Ives, an audiologist at Beltone’s Lakewood office, 1420 S. Wadsworth Blvd. “One of the first things we look
WHAT THE HAIL! - The Preferred Local Roofing Company for Many Insurance Companies, Hundreds of Agents, and Thousands of Coloradans - No Creepy Door Knockers - Free Inspections
at is comfort — a hearing aid does a patient no good if they don’t wear it. Comfort makes it easier to adapt to, and the technology in Beltone First makes it easier and easier for patients.” In addition to the high quality sound Beltone offers, users can directly stream sound from their devices, so they can leave the device near the sound source, move around and still hear. Patients can also stream music and audiobooks right to the ear buds. The app allows patients to set preferred volume levels at frequently visited places - like home, church or a favorite restaurant - and has a “Find My Hearing Aid” function. Elizabeth Wypiszynski, a patient at the Wheat Ridge office, said the hearing aid helped her to quit saying “huh?” after ev-
eryone talks, and the wireless nature makes it extremely easy. “I’m completely satisfied with the device,” said Ron Harrell, a patient at the Lakewood office. “For my job I do a lot of presentations in boardrooms and I don’t have to ask people to repeat their questions over and over.” For audiologists like Taylor and Ives, Beltone First is a chance to change their patients’ lives. “I want to make sure people can do the things they like for as long as they can,” Taylor said. “It’s really a great-sounding hearing aid with so much flexibility.” For more information visit www.beltone. com.

OPINION

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.

Spamity spam, wonderful spam Let’s talk spam. Not the “Spiced Ham” of canned Spam fame on supermarket shelves, but the annoying, irritating, sometimes-amusingand-often-frustrating varieties of spam in our email boxes. Usually, these emails go to a spam or junk email folder where we can just delete them … or report them. Some of these emails are legitimate offers sent to bulk address lists, particularly if we’ve ever expressed an interest in a product or service. For example, I get emails from higher education institutions because I am researching Ph.D. programs (or chef school, either way). My email address was captured and sold to the organizations contacting me, and, because of the bulk nature of these messages, they go to my spam folder. There are emails that come out nowhere, with no relevance to anything I’ve ever read, watched, or researched online, such a lawsuit notification for a drug I’ve never heard of. I also get “Greeting [sic], My Dear” types of emails telling me a long-lost relative or foreign government to send me a ton of money … in exchange for my bank account information. Attempts to get personal information, called “phishing,” are often transparent, with bad spelling and grammar, and goofy “from” addresses. Some, on the other hand, are pretty sophisticated, appearing to
come from legitimate businesses alerting me about a problem with my account. Note: I always call the institution directly for verification. Recently I tracked the types of spam emails I get. In a 7-day period, 70 emails went to my spam folder. Of these, 25 were for products or services. Of course, not all of these are scam emails and came from traditional direct marketing firms who are sending in bulk (and whose reputations are surely suffering because of the phishing scams). Another 18 were about finance of some sort, including loans, credit cards, and credit checks, as well as Obamacare and even funeral insurance. Medical services and drug offers – including the lawsuit they want me in – totaled 10 spam emails, and higher education came in at five. I also received another five from foreign “governments” or individuals wanting me to click on their links … for my own personal gain,
of course. Two were from employment sites, and three of these weren’t spam at all so I moved them to my inbox. I also occasionally receive emails that appear to come from my friends, but don’t. These use the person’s actual email name, but not their email domain name such as Gmail.com. They contain phishing links for unsuspecting recipients, saying something like, “Check this out!” There were two of these. Disturbingly, though, one of them was from “Andrea Doray.” Several friends had alerted me that they were getting bogus emails from me, and then one showed up in my own spam folder. I reported it to my email service , and I encourage you to do the same for spam you receive. One amusing part of all this, though, is that when I open my spam folder, the page header is a recipe for the real Spam, such as Spicy Ham Kabobs, or Spam Confetti Pasta. Today’s is Creamy Spam Broccoli Casserole — sounds good … and definitely more unappetizing than the spam in my email. Andrea Doray is a writer who just whittled her actual inbox from 12,000 to 5,155 emails. Contact her at a.doray@andreadoray.com for a tip her friend shared about how to do this in a snap!

it on nutritious crackers, vegetables and fruits children already enjoy. The ingredi-
ents are two cups whole (works best) or 2 percent milk and one or two tablespoons of lemon juice. Place milk in a saucepan, heat and stir it on low so the milk doesn’t stick to the bottom. If you have a cooking thermometer you can put it in the pan until the milk is 170 to 190 degrees. If not, just make it hot. Turn off heat and add one teaspoon lemon juice and stir until the little curd lumps form. Add a second, if needed, for lumps. Be patient and remove from heat.
Shaping cheese
Let the mixture cool to a temperature you can handle. Now you will separate the curd lumps from the whey liquids. Pour mixture through a strainer into a bowl to save the whey and empty the curds into a cloth. A clean white T–shirt (never worn again), washcloth or cheesecloth work. Take the four corners of the cloth and twist them making a bag. Twist tighter and tighter to get the liquid whey out. Cheese will be crumbly. Add a little salt and taste.

Mar. 6, 1920 – Feb. 22, 2015
Betty will always be remembered in the hearts of those who loved her as an exceptional intellect, with a unique Gilson sense of humor and quick wit, qualities she kept throughout her life. Born Alice Elizabeth Gail to William and Elizabeth Klinger Gilson, Betty was the fourth of five siblingsGeorge, Charles, John, Elizabeth and William. She was raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where the household included her grandmother, Caroline Brandenburger Klinger. One of Betty’s childhood memories is accompanying Caroline to church services conducted in German, Caroline’s and Elizabeth’s native tongue. Caroline became blind, but learned to make baskets, and the bathtub was often filled with soaking reeds. Betty spent freshman year of high school in Long Beach, CA, and fondly remembered traveling the length of California in the rumble seat of a car. At North High School in Minneapolis, where she was known as “Bets,” Betty was secretary of her class, active in Student Council, and an editor of the school newspaper. A tribute to her in the school newspaper said, “Betty loves to talk, and her jolly chatter is ever interspersed with laughter.” In 1939, Betty and Stanley Kilbourne Seaver were married, and soon moved to Storrs, Connecticut, where Stanley became professor of agricultural economics at the University of Connecticut. The couple had two daughters, Roxy and Tracy.

Clyde Mannon
May 18, 1918 – Feb. 7. 2015
Clyde Mannon, Golden native, died at his home on Feb. 7. Clyde was born on May 18, 1918 on the family farm at 32nd and McIntyre. Clyde’s great grandfather, Adam Shock, immigrated to Colorado from Bavaria, Germany in 1850, mined for gold in Breckenridge with George Moffatt, and acquired the land on which the farm was located in 1882. Riding his pony Buster to school each day, Clyde attended Maple Grove School, which was originally located at 32nd and Youngfield, and the same school his father had attended. Clyde never missed a day of school in grades 1-8. He graduated from Golden High School in 1935, and he and his former classmates still continued their friendship by meeting for lunch once a month. After high school Clyde worked on the construction of Ralston Dam, assuring the construction supervisor when he applied for the job that he knew how to operate the large construction machinery when in fact he had never driven one. He worked there until the dam was completed, earning 62 cents an hour. A year later Clyde met Barbara at a church social, and they were married in 1938. Four months later the couple bought their first home for $2200, which was located at 924 Cheyenne St. in Golden. When the U.S. entered World War II Clyde enlisted in the Army Air Corps as an aviation cadet. After
the war Clyde returned to Golden and became involved in the community as a charter member of the Golden Lions Club, serving in each of the offices including president. In 1949 Clyde’s career as a custom homebuilder began, and during the next 30+ years he completed two subdivisions which have been placed on the Historical Registry for their distinctive style of architecture. He was also chosen by Better Homes and Gardens Magazine to build their show home each year for seven years. During this time Clyde served as president of the Denver Home Builders Association. The last subdivision that Clyde developed and built was the Golden subdivision of Rimrock. In 1964 Clyde decided to try his had at the restaurant business and built and owned the first fast food restaurant in Golden on top of Washington hill. After ten years in the restaurant business, Clyde formed Foothills Reality on Washington Ave. along with a good friend, Loren Babb. He always used to say “that venture turned out to be one of the best and most pleasant enterprises he had ever participated in.” At this time he became quite active in
the Golden Chamber of Commerce and served as president from 1979-1980. He was also awarded an honorary lifetime membership in 1972. One of his many projects as Chamber president was to build an information booth on Washington Ave. (next to where the current Golden Visitors’ Center is located). Clyde donated the materials and built the booth himself, because he knew that Golden has many interesting historical and cultural sites and he felt that visitors to Golden needed a place where they could find information about these many attractions. Clyde always took pride in Golden and believed himself to be lucky to live in the best place in the world and he wanted to share Golden’s attributes with all of those who visited the town. Clyde was a quiet man and not one to call attention to himself. He loved his family and is survived by his wife Barbara of seventy-six years, and his two daughters, Jean Gehrke and Linda Condron. He had four grandchildren: Michael Gehrke of Feasterville, PA; John Gehrke of Arvada, CO; Sean Condron of Austin, TX; and Michelle Lopez of Arvada, CO. He also had nine great-grandchildren: Melissa, and Christopher Gehrke; Eric and Sarah, Gehrke; Aidan and Sydney Condron; and Cruz, Isabelle, and Alexander Lopez. Contributions can be made to the Golden History Museum.

LAKEWOOD CITY COUNCIL ON THE RECORD During the March 2 study session, both the planning commission and city council received a final update on the comprehensive and sustainability plans. With little in the way of new information presented, it gave both groups a chance to ask last minute questions
before the adoption process begins. Some of the questions included Lakewood’s project population growth and how to best maintain the character of the city in the face of the nearly 40,000 new residents expected in the city within 10 years.
“This plan allows room for some grey areas,” said Ward 2 councilwoman Cindy Baroway. “People’s needs and desire change and this plan allows for that.” The plans will now start the adoption process, going to the planning commission before coming before city council for
public comment in late April and early May. The next council meeting is a study session at 7 p.m. on March 16 at Civic Center South, 480 S. Allison Parkway. — Compiled by Clarke Reader
LAKEWOOD NEWS IN A HURRY Arrest made in homicide
At about 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 25, Lakewood Police responded to a motel in the 6600 block of West Mississippi Avenue after receiving a report of a stabbing which had just occurred. Upon arrival Police found a female who had sustained life threatening stab wounds. The female was transported to an area hospital. Detectives believe that the female and her former boyfriend, 21-year-old Leonard Paul Martinez were involved in some type of a domestic violence incident. An arrest warrant was obtained for Martinez for suspicion of attempted 1st degree murder, first degree assault and domestic violence. Martinez was located by detectives late Feb. 27 afternoon and placed in custody. He was booked at the Jefferson County Jail. On March 1 the female victim, 21-year-old Kendra Chavez, died of her injuries. The District Attorney’s Office will file the new and most appropriate homicide related charges against Martinez.
Action Center host volunteer fair
The Action Center will host a “Volunteer Opportunities Fair” on March 11, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the new Program Services Building at 8745 W. 14th Ave. in Lakewood. Interested applicants will learn about the client programs located in the newly renovated building and the many volunteer opportunities that support these programs. The new facility is scheduled to open to the public in late April. The new Program Services building will include a self-select grocery in which individuals choose their own food based on the USDA’s nutritious “My Plate” standards. In addition, there are volunteer opportunities in the clothing and household areas, client intake, client advocacy, greeters, grocery shopping assistants and grocery restock volunteers. The Action Center relies on more than 80 volunteers each day to run everything from drop-in intervention services to the appointment based case management program. An additional 50 volunteers are needed each week to assist clients and staff in the new facility. Applicants interested in both long-term and one-time volunteer opportunities are welcomed to attend.
Public invited to discuss future of O’Kane house
The City of Lakewood will host a second public meeting to discuss next steps in the potential rehabilitation process of the O’Kane house and auxiliary structures located in O’Kane Park at 6 p.m., Thursday, March 19 at Lakewood Christian Church, 25 S. Newland St. At the first public meeting held last September, attendees showed support for rehabilitation of the property understanding that future reuse of the house and structures would need to be identified before proceeding. Staff and attendees then brainstormed suggestions for use of the property. At this second meeting, staff will present options that best fit the property and surrounding neighborhood for further discussion. The O’Kane family bought the home in 1895 and was among the earliest settlers in Jefferson County. The family operated a dairy farm on the five-acre parcel located on West First Avenue near Pierce Street. In 1977, the City purchased the land surrounding the house, now O’Kane Park, and in 2001, the City purchased the O’Kane house and auxiliary structures. Members of the public can contact the Department of Community Resources at 303-987-7800 or email CRInfo@ Lakewood.org with any questions or comments and to request Spanish translation services. For more information, contact Allison Scheck at 303-987-7872 or allsch@ lakewood.org

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.

Artworks are signposts on road to health Lamar Station Crossing makes stairwell appealing By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com
There are times when finding the inspiration to exercise is tricky — and it can be even more difficult when the only exercise options are indoors. Metro West Housing Solutions’ Lamar Station Crossing decided to use the art of Laura Phelps Rogers in its main stairwell to create an inspiring atmosphere and get its residents moving. Together the organization and artist created an active stairwell — a new design concept that enhances mental well-being with positive messaging and other design elements and encourages stair-climbing as a form of exercise. The project is funded by Colorado Health Foundation. “I wanted to create an environment instead of a static wall-hanging piece. It should be an experience for residents,” Rogers said. “I went to Lamar Station several times and just sat in med the stairwell and thought about what I hief could do to change the space.” has The effort to create an active stairhe well is a result of Metro West’s healthnue first initiative, which focuses on the enhancing the quality of life for residents by using the building and its ing design, said Ryan McCaw, sustainabilu- ity and grant programs manager with rsht Metro West. g “The stairs were designed to feafirst ture artwork,” he said. “We sought out with some grants to support this program, 3 e in

Laura Phelps Rogers created an interactive installation in the stairwell of Lamar Station Crossing. The message plays out as visitors ascend the stairs. Photo by Rachel Gillette because our residents are there every day — we wanted to build an interactive experience in the stairwell.” McCaw and Rogers both spoke about the perception that stairs are typically gloomy, unsafe places in a building that residents and visitors barely think about. Just by brightening up the stairs and making them safe, it opens them up to all kinds of design opportunities. Rogers said the sky was her inspiration, and she wanted the message “walk to improve your outlook” to follow the walker as they ascended the stair into the sky. There are still elements that need to be added, including some sound features, and McCaw
said Lamar Station is already looking at ways to grow its active stairwell program. “The program fits in with our theme here of transportation, inclusivity and healthy living,” McCaw said. “It’s a cost-effective way to encourage healthy habits and enhance better moods for all our residents.” For Rogers, it was a chance to create an installation that people can experience in a new way. “People are able to interpret it and enter the work — and what better place than a stairwell?” she said. “I think the idea behind this will challenge the way people look at stairwells in the future.”

Pagliacci space redeveloped
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 mixed-use development in Denver’s Lower Highlands neighborhood, will get its first occupants March 1 on a site well-known to longtime Denverites.
“It’s all about empowering girls and speaks to what we’re doing since the movies are all for, by and about women,” said Liesje Johnson, event coordinator with Girls on the Run. “LUNAFEST is a great opportunity for women of all ages to have a fun night out and share in some camaraderie.” The festival will travel to more than 150 cities and be shown to 25,000 people this year. “It’s a really neat event that celebrates women’s empowerment,” said Ron Slinger, executive director of the foundation. “It’s great not only for our students, but our community because we have so many strong women leaders on our faculty, on our board and out in the community.”
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, The Business Journal story said. The old Pagliacci’s sign has been converted into a garden box inside the lobby.

Those who complete the course will receive a $50 gift card to use at Lakewood recreation centers. “In the course, students explore how they manage their health, with several different topics,” said Maripat Gallas, COAW’s director of implementation. “We cover everything from negative emotion to eating well and decision-making.” The classes require full participation from students, and self-monitoring as they set goals for themselves on a week-to-week basis and find the best way to accomplish them. Participants will have access to a personal coach for four months, a personalized fitness assessment (BIA test) and feedback on their progress. “We’ve seen a lot of success with the model,” Gallas said.

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
Morgan Ducklow completes a fast break as she puts a layup off the backboard during the Feb. 27 state playoff game against Glenwood Springs. Ducklow led the team in scoring with 27 points, helping the Jaguars win the game, 86-31. Photo by Tom Munds 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 cre-
ated 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.”
Arvada West schools Legacy in 5A Wildcats beat Lightning 90-54 in playoff opener By Scott Stocker
Special to Colorado Community Media A quick start in any game in the state basketball playoffs is welcome. And Arvada West got off to a quick start in the Feb. 25 opening round, Class 5A state confrontation with visiting Legacy. Arvada West, coached by Jeff Parriott, jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the first quarter and was never threatened as the Wildcats defeated Legacy, 90-54. Helping the fast start were the Neff brothers, Tomas and Luke, as the Wildcats eventually surged to a 28-14 first-quarter lead. 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

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.”

Farmers get bucked by Colts Wheat Ridge falls out of 4A playoffs with loss By Scott Stocker Wheat Ridge got caught on the wrong end of a quickly paced game as the Farmers faced Pueblo South in the first round of the Class 4A state basketball tournament. Pueblo South took advantage of 10 Wheat Ridge turnovers in the first quarter to help establish its focus against the Farmers. When it was all over, the Colts were able to gallop to an 80-57 victory over the Farmers in their May 27 encounter in the game played at Holy Family High School. Wheat Ridge was able to stay close to Pueblo South until the third quarter. The Farmers trailed 14-7 after the first quarter of play and were down 33-27 at the half. It still appeared as if the Farmers were going to be able to stay close, even though they couldn’t seem to lasso the Colts. Pueblo South was able to break it wide open in the third, extending 59-43 lead go-

ing into the fourth quarter. The breakaway continued as the Colts outscored the Farmers, 21-14, over the final eight minutes. Vedin Kozik led Wheat Ridge with 24 points, high for the game. It was a fine effort, but not enough to help the Farmers overcome. When it was over, the Farmers finished the season with a 15-9 record while Pueblo South moved on from this game to the next round, 18-6. “We played hard, but we just couldn’t seem to put it all together,” said Kozik, a senior, 6-2 guard. “We thought we could pull out a serious comeback, but it just wasn’t there tonight. We didn’t want to give up, but they played well against us.” A 15-6 run for Pueblo South in the third quarter was the effort that put overwhelming pressure on Wheat Ridge. It was a run that had the Farmer’s coach, Tommy Dowd, shaking his head. “They just went out fast,” Dowd said. “We turned the ball over, 10 times in the first quarter, and that hurt. We missed our free throws when we had the opportunities and they made their shots. We just didn’t seem to have the confidence.
“Defensively, they came out early against Vedin and held him back,” said Dowd. “They really were on a mission. It was all about confidence and we seemed to lose it. They were very quick and just an athletic team. They will give Holy Family a run for their money.” Wheat Ridge would turn the ball over, at least 23 times, helping give Pueblo South it’s go-ahead effort. Yet, the Farmers did have some pretty good play from 5-10, junior Damian Padilla, who scored 12 points, and 6-4, senior Willie Harris. Harris only scored seven points, but he had one of the better defensive nights for Wheat Ridge. “The season has been a lot of fun and I’ve had a lot of good training from it,” said Padilla. “This is one of the best teams that we’ve had in the past three years, but unfortunately they put a stop to us tonight. They got out and hit their shots. We missed a lot of opportunities tonight, too. We just need to bust our butts day in and day out.” It, too, was a tough loss for Harris, one of six seniors on the Wheat Ridge team. “This was a great group of guys to play
and work with this season,” Harris said. “We have some good younger players and they are all coming up. We didn’t do what we should have tonight, and South gave us a run. I’ve enjoyed working with my teammates and I wouldn’t want to have it any other way.” DJ Johnson, who coaches Pueblo South, felt Wheat Ridge was going to give them a battle all the way. Indeed, even he was surprised by his team’s margin of victory. “We were really able to get going in that third quarter,” Johnson said. “But you never want to count anyone out and anytime in games as important as state. We just didn’t want to make a lot of mistakes and overall, this time out, we didn’t.” Five players were able to score in double-figures for South with Jared Baros leading the way with 15. He was joined in his double night by Trey Parker and Maleek Johnson, who each scored 13 points, Isiah Pannunzio with 13 and Brett Devries, 10. Pueblo South beat Holy Family to extend its record to 19-6 in its second tournament game.

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.
