Talks eye grievance panels, teacher schedules Next Jeffco negotiations set for first Monday in May By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com In their April 20 meeting, negotiators for the Jefferson County School District and the Jefferson County Education Association furthered discussions around griev-
ance committee structures and teacher schedules. “Collaboration at both the district and the school level is going to become a cornerstone for the new framework of this agreement,” said Jim Branum, a member of the district’s negotiating team. “Hopefully, an evolution in behavior throughout the district where people are coming together as respected professionals to work out differences in the best interests of students.” The conversations centered around
finding a solid, streamlined and collaborative grievances process for teachers, principals and school and district staff that allows for all parties to find and feel comfortable with a resolution. Along with that, the sides disagreed on how those committees should be structured, as well as how teacher schedules should be laid out. The district advocated for a minimalistic approach, while union representatives wanted more detail to be written into the contract.
“There has to be clear expectations and clear parameters around some of the scheduling so everybody’s on the same page, so it doesn’t create these gray areas,” said Barb Aswege, a North Arvada Middle School seventh- and eighth-grade social studies teacher and union negotiator. Negotiations will continue through May. The next meeting will be 4-8 p.m. on Monday, May 4, at the Jefferson County Education Center, 1829 Denver West Drive, Golden.
Trees honor Earth Day
The team from Natural Grocers and Lakewood parks staff pose with a soon-to-be planted tree. To celebrate Earth Day and its 60th anniversary, staff from Natural Grocers worked with Lakewood urban parks staff to plant trees in Addenbrooke Park April 23. City staff planted five English Oaks in the park, paid for by Natural Grocers. The company, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, sponsored similar plantings across the metro area last week, including in Golden and Wheat Ridge.
PHOTOS BY CLARKE READER LOCALLY FOUNDED AND STILL GROWING Natural grocers, formerly known as Vitamin Cottage, was founded in Golden in 1955 as a door-todoor business. Today, the grocery and vitamin retailer has stores across the western United States in nearly 100 locations, including stores in Golden, Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, Arvada and Westminster. The company’s health and ecology ethos extends to the checkout line, where the store uses no paper or plastic bags and the receipts are Bisphenol A (carbon-based synthetic compound) -free.

Council approves updated comprehensive plan Residents want focus on neighborhoods, historic preservation By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com City council voted to approve the city’s new comprehensive plan by a vote of 7-3 (the no votes were Ward 1 councilwoman Ramey Johnson, Ward 3 councilman Pete Roybal and Ward 4 councilman David Wiechman. Ward 4 councilwoman Cindy Baroway was absent from the meeting) April 27. The comprehensive plan update has been in the works for several years, and presents a guiding document for the next decade in Lakewood, said Travis Parker, director of planning. “We’ve had a lot of public input on the plan, with open houses, meetings and we received input from the ACIC (Advisory Commission for an Inclusive Community),” he said. “This plan shows where we see the city going — it’s not a regulatory document, but instead gives guidance when making decisions.” The plan includes 401 implementation
steps, which provide information on the responsible party and timeline for each step. Parker made it clear these steps will not necessarily be taken in the coming decade, but rather provide a work guide for staff to use. It will ultimately be up to future councils to decide what steps (if any) should be taken. Residents who spoke during public comment were mostly in favor of the document, but the majority spoke in favor of adding language that made it clear the city will protect established neighborhoods (or “stable neighborhoods” as they are called in the plan) from future development. “The plan is an acceptable blueprint for the next few years, but it stops short of addressing the people who already live here,” said resident Charley Able. “Our neighborhood plans have been gobbled up into this document, and we want to ensure there is protection and respect for our stable neighborhoods.” In response to concerns from neighborhoods, Parker said staff went through every existing neighborhood plan and broke it up into three elements — goals already achieved, goals that are the responsibility of the neighborhood, and goals yet to be achieved. All the goals that still need to be accomplished were put into the new comprehensive plan.
SECTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Lakewood Lives “Lakewood will be a safe, healthy, diverse and vibrant community with strong and unique neighborhoods.” Focuses on issues residents have said are important in neighborhoods, including housing, arts and culture and public services. Lakewood Innovates “Lakewood will invest in its future by proactively pursuing a thriving and sustainable economy with a variety of employment, investment and mixed-use opportunities.” Focus on growth in local economy through attention on growth, community activity and industrial areas.
Several residents also spoke about the importance of historic preservation in the community, and wanted the clearest possible language that advocates for holding on to the city’s history. “I found a lot to like in this plan, and we’re really looking forward to great things,” said resident Vicky Peters. “We need to make sure we’re protecting our city’s landmarks. We don’t want to lose the character of places like West Colfax.” In response to comments, Ward 4 coun-
Lakewood Moves “Lakewood will support connectivity through a variety of transportation options and encourage residents to utilize multiple transportation modes.” Focus on transportation issues in the city, with emphases on a multi-modal transportation system that includes bicycling, car shares, public transportation and walkability. Lakewood Sustains “Lakewood will be a leader in sustainability principles, practices, and education.” Focus on sustainability and environmentally friendly practices in the city. The city’s sustainability plan will focus on specific goals and practices to employ.
cilman Adam Paul proposed amendments that changed the language in the several places in the plan to emphasize historic preservation and to protect the character of neighborhoods. Before the final vote for approval, Mayor Bob Murphy hailed both the plan and its development, which he said demonstrated the city’s dedication to including residents in the decision making process. “This is an extraordinary vision for the city,” he said.

Westgaters want a better playground School receives GOCO grant to fund playground reconstruction Westgate Elementary received a Great Outdoors Colorado grant for $114,000 to fund the renovation of the school’s playground. The project started with the help of parents like Amanda Karger and principal David Weiss, who put together a winning grant application to GOCO for $5,000 for design services.

Bryant announces run for council Aims to use community group experience in office By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Richard “Dick” Bryant has announced his candidacy for the Lakewood City Council Ward 2 seat held by Cindy Baroway. Baroway is term-limited, and so is unable to run for re-election. Bryant has already received endorsements from notables including Congressman Ed Perlmutter, businessman Greg Stevinson, Mayor Bob Murphy, former Mayor Steve Burkholder and state Rep. Max Tyler. We called Bryant to talk about his candidacy, and his thoughts on the Lakewood and its approach to policy. LS: What made you decide to run for Cindy’s (Baroway) seat? RB: It started in October of last year. I
was at an Alameda Gateway Community Association meeting, and afterwards Cindy asked me if I would consider running. I’ve been involved in a variety of campaigns, and I prefer to back a candidate rather than a party. I discussed it with my family and we said, why not? LS: What have you been doing since making the decision? Bryant RB: I’ve been attending a bunch of meetings. I’ve met with all 12 of the city department heads, and had the chance to meet with the fire chief and listen to him. I’ve also been going to a lot of our neighborhood meetings. LS: What are some issues you’d like to see addressed by council? RB: The big thing is the comprehensive and sustainability plans which are coming before council, and I support both of those. I’ve been using the recycling center at Quail Street for a long time and I think we need
Lakewood honors cultural volunteers By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com The City of Lakewood honored the Heritage, Culture and the Arts volunteers who make all the HCA cultural offerings possible. “Like many cultural institutions, we rely heavily on volunteers so we can do what we do,” said Michelle Nierling, HCA manager. “Our volunteers are the first point of contact for many people who participate in
our events.” During an annual celebration dinner, the HCA honored 27 volunteers who met or exceeded 10 years of volunteer service. “We have 46 people on our list who are still active volunteers and have been doing so for 10 or more years,” said Karla Grahn, HCA volunteer coordinator. “Volunteers do everything from working at the theater to running gift shops and helping at community events. Almost everyone residents see at our events is a volunteer.”

If they were more accessible, more people would use them. Veterans are also important — I want to make sure we don’t ignore them, and I’d like to see more activity and outreach in that area. Lakewood has so many volunteers, and I think there are a lot of seniors who would do more if we asked. LS: What do you want people to know about you? RB: I’m comfortable with people, and thanks to my background in sales and mar-
keting, I like working with people. I’m a problem-solver and good listener. I’m going to be walking the ward beginning in June to answer questions from people.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
April 30, 2015
RRCC, WarrenTech advance manufacturing
Daytime classes offered to benefit current employees By Clarke Reader
creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Red Rocks Community College and WarrenTech have partnered to offer adult student classes in WarrenTech’s daytime Precision Machining (also called Advanced Manufacturing) program. The classes will be available for the full-year program beginning in August. The new machining program reflects developments in the industry, which are changing the way people think of machining and manufacturing. We called Laura Aycock, career navigator for RRCC’s Precision Machining program, and Joe Martin, instructor, to talk about the new classes and what the benefits are to students. The program puts students on their way to an exciting career in the advanced manufacturing industry, a high-demand field with lucrative salaries. Slots are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
1 2 3 4 5
Growing interest: “Advanced manufacturing is a booming industry here in Colorado,” Aycock said. The industry brings together information, automation, computation, software, sensing and networking to create new ways to manufacture products, along with the latest technologies. Accessible to employees: The new daytime offerings aim to be more accessible to people who already work in the industry, Martin said. These classes will help them train and get exposure to new methods without risking the employers’ time and money. Path to a career: Those interested in a career in advanced manufacturing can take advantage of www.MfgWorksCO.com, which was created by the Colorado Helps Advanced Manufacturing Program. The site is designed to help visitors navigate the field and see what kinds of jobs and education options are available. Higher paychecks: “The biggest benefit of the program is job advancement for our students,” Martin said. “If they can make the jump to the next stage, with the higher job skills required, they will be able to make more money. This program is a great opportunity for students at both schools to advance their training with the newest equipment.” Learn more: RRCC’s Precision Machining program offers courses leading to an Associate of Applied Science degree along with certifications to enhance the skills of those already in the field. For more information, visit www.rrcc.edu/precision-machining or contact Aycock at 303-914-6291 or Laura.Aycock@rrcc.edu.

Virginia Ave., is still under construction, but some residents have already moved into their new apartments. “We’re the only development in Belmar with studio apartments to offer,” said Elli Lobach, development manager with Holland Partner Group. “The décor is a kind of industrial chic, which is very modern and glamorous.” Some of the amenities residents will have access to at Trifecta include directly attached garages, a saltwater pool that will be open year round, a hot tub, outdoor barbecues, fitness center, sky deck and clubhouse. Most of the amenities are still being worked on, but Lobach said they
should all be open in time for warm summer weather. Parking can be a bit of a struggle for apartment complexes, so the attached garages and many parking options have been a favorite of residents so far, said Jill Hewitt, property manager. “We allow people to live in an urbanstyled setting without living downtown,” Lobach said. “There’s mountain access and the light rail nearby to get to Denver.” Trifecta isn’t the only project in the works at Belmar. There is a six-story, 135room Hyatt House hotel, a series of new townhomes by David Weekly and a senior housing project called CityScape @ Belmar underway. “There’s no way we’re finished yet,” Kaboth said.

LAKEWOOD NEWS IN A HURRY Volunteers sought for Colfax Marathon
The Lakewood Police Department is looking for volunteers to assist with the upcoming Colfax Marathon, on Sunday, May 17. Approximately 100 volunteers are needed 6:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to assist with monitoring traffic at intersections along the marathon route. Competitors will begin the marathon on the east side of Denver City Park Lake. The route will take the runners along Colfax through Lakewood to the Glens, out to Garrison and then back along Colfax to the starting point. Those who volunteer will assist with traffic control to ensure the runners have a safe course to follow. This event always proved to a fun and exciting opportunity to witness the dedication and share the enjoyment these competitors experience, running along Denver and Lakewood’s iconic roadway.

The House gave final approval April 22 to House Bill 1 from Reps. Brittany Pettersen, and Alec Garnett, D-Denver, to improve early childhood education programs across Colorado. HB15-1001 creates a scholarship program for Colorado students enrolled in postsecondary programs for early childhood education or current educators who go back to school. The bill is designed to encourage more people to pursue a degree in early childhood education and improve the programs available to Colorado families. After the 33-30 vote, the bill heads to the Senate for consideration. Another Pettersen measured moved forward to the finance committee. HB15-1347, sponsored by Pettersen and Dave Young, D-Greeley, adjusts the state’s CollegeInvest college savings program to provide the greatest benefit to the families with the greatest need. Families with incomes under $150,000 who make contributions to qualifying college saving programs will see their Colorado income tax deduction double, and families with incomes between $150,000 and $250,000 will have their deduction rise by 50 percent. Families with incomes between $250,000 and $500,000 will see their deduction halved, and those over $500,000 will lose their deduction. The bill was sent to the Finance Committee on a 6-5 partyline vote.

JEFFCO NEWS IN A HURRY Rabies vaccine for animals available The Foothills Animal Shelter provides low cost vaccinations as well as links to other vaccination clinics throughout the county. Foothills Animal Shelter, 580 McIntyre Street, hosts stop-in vaccine clinics every Tuesday and Friday, 3-4 p.m., as well as every other Saturday, 1-3 p.m. Rabies is an infectious viral disease that affects the nervous system in animals and humans. Unvaccinated pets put the family at risk. Livestock may also be exposed to rabies and owners should be vigilant in monitoring health issues in their animals, and discuss any animal health concerns with their local veterinarian. Rabies in wild animals is on the rise,
especially in bats and skunks in the state of Colorado. As of April 17, 2015, Colorado State University and CDPHE laboratories have confirmed rabies in 24 animals (two bats, 20 skunks, one raccoon and one cat) in Colorado. Residents and visitors are advised to avoid all stray or wild animals, keep pets (dogs, cats, ferrets, livestock) vaccinated against rabies and, don’t allow pets to roam free. Everyone is advised not to handle wild animals. If bitten or scratched by a pet or wild animal, immediately wash any wounds with soap and water and contact the family doctor. For additional information on rabies, contact Jefferson County Public Health Zoonosis Program at 303-232-6301. In addition to rabies vaccinations for
pets and livestock, here are some additional precautions to prevent possible exposure to rabies: • Do not feed, touch, or handle wild animals. • If you find a bat inside your home, do not let it out or discard of it. Call animal control so that the animal can be tested. Otherwise, exposure is assumed and quarantine and/or prophylaxis will be required. • If you must remove a dead animal on your property, wear rubber gloves or lift the carcass with a shovel or other tool, and double-bag it for the trash. Do not directly touch the animal with bare hands. • Call your local animal control office to remove stray animals from your neighborhood • Teach children to leave wildlife alone.
• Do not leave pet food or livestock feed in areas accessible to wildlife. • Maintain control of your pets by keeping cats indoors and keeping dogs under direct supervision. • Spay or neuter your pets to reduce the number of unwanted or stray animals in your community. • Rabies vaccination should be considered for horses and other equines, breeding livestock, dairy cattle or other livestock. • Call the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife at (303) 297-1192 if you have problems with wild animals. If you are concerned that you or one of your animals might have been exposed to rabies, seek medical or veterinary attention immediately.

OPINION
April 30, 2015
&
O U R S
The thought counts, but not much Is it really the thought that counts? I know many people who make light of a situation where perhaps they forgot to give a card or a gift to celebrate a holiday or special occasion, and they may laughingly say something like, “Well, it’s the thought that counts.” Or maybe it’s the dream of starting our own company, or beginning to work out, lose weight, stop smoking, or completely and totally pursue a new job or career. Maybe there is that special someone whom we need to initiate a conversation with where we should ignite or maybe re-ignite that spark of passion. When we fall short of actually doing it, do we once again say, “Well, it’s the thought that counts”? Let’s take it beyond those scenarios because that excuse has become tired and even cliche as we dance around the fact that we simply forgot the person’s birthday or our parents’ anniversary, or we just didn’t really want to pursue the other changes in our lives. What I am talking about here is the thought that we put into our pursuit of each and every thing that we do or desire to do. Because it really is the thought that counts. How often have we been too quick to leap into action, try to solve a problem or fix a situation without carefully thinking through a solid game plan? You know how it goes, we shoot first and ask questions later. We don’t worry about the collateral damage, we will deal with that later be-
cause right now we have to act and act fast. Of course there are situations that call for snap decisions and quick action. Things like life-and-death situations or something that can cause harm to others if we don’t act quickly. But what I am really talking about here is taking the time to be really thoughtful about what we do, why we do it, and how we go about getting it done. The primary reason that people never really achieve their goals or dreams is because they don’t take the time necessary or make the commitment to carefully thinking about all the reasons that they want to pursue their goals and dreams in the first place. And it’s not just about the goals and dreams, we can even see it in the pursuit of a hobby and in the execution of a project or plan at work. I know I can share my own stories of things I have started only to have them left sitting on a shelf waiting for my return. The reason: Not enough planning, preparing, and thought went into it in the first place.
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t want you to get so wrapped up in the thought process that you suffer from what is called “paralysis by analysis,” where we overthink things so much that we fail to act on them. What I am referring to is becoming thoughtful and deliberate about everything from our relationships to our jobs, our hobbies and our goals. It is the thought that counts, the amount of time and energy we commit to in our thinking as we seek to accomplish anything we set out to do. Part-time efforts lead to part-time results. When we go about any activity or pursue any dream and we take a parttime approach, taking shortcuts, and not taking the time to plan, prepare and think through our action plan and objectives, this is when we set ourselves up for disappointment and failure. It’s the thought that counts. So how about you, do you use the statement as an excuse or do you fully appreciate the meaning and how it can impact your personal and professional success? Either way, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we put some serious thought behind what we want to accomplish, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Columnists and Guest Commentaries
Sparking memories, and tears, with poetry April was National Poetry Month and you’ve probably read about poetry in this space before. Poetry enlightens, inspires, challenges … and also provides a way for people living with Alzheimer’s to reconnect with their memories. The arts – painting, crafts, music, dance have long been used to awaken the minds of those living with memory loss. So it’s no surprise to me that well-loved poetry can do the same. During National Poetry Month last year, I met Gary Glazner in Washington, D.C. Glazner is the founder and executive director of the Alzheimer’s Poetry Project. When I heard him speak, I was moved to tears. My own father lived with Alzheimer’s and he died in 2001. Charming to the last, my dad continued to enjoy games and music with us, and it was clear that he could remember beloved lines and melodies. As his language ability diminished, dad was able to share himself with his touch and his expressions. We miss him. There are few poems that I personally can recite fully from memory, but there are many that would come back to me with some prompting. Some lines and stanzas, of course, stay with me, such as this from Robert Frost: “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— / I took the road less traveled by / and that has made all the difference.”
I even remember some Shakespeare from a memorized recitation in junior high school: “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, / but in ourselves that we are underlings.” With some help, I could remember the rest. That’s why I’m excited about the Alzheimer’s Poetry Project. This program facilitates the creativity of people living with Alzheimer’s and related dementia. Using a call-and-response technique, session leaders engage participants in the enjoyment of poetry, as well as the creation of new poetry as a group collaboration. In the 10 years since the Alzheimer’s Poetry Project was founded in neighboring New Mexico, Glazner and his associates have held sessions at facilities across the U.S. – including here in the Denver area – as well as internationally. The Project also trains local facility staff to keep the
program going for residents. I corresponded with Gary Glazner recently, and we talked about his audience: people, predominantly seniors, in various stages of memory loss. Facilitators seek to bond these people as a group built on shared words, passions and discoveries. The session leader recites lines of classic poems and the participants echo the words. Even those who have lost their language abilities often respond to the rhythm of the poetry. These well-loved poems then serve as inspiration for the communal creation of an original poem by the group. The Project quotes the Northwest Arkansas Times: “… somber expressions became animated. Hands clapped. Feet stomped. Eyes shone with humor, recognition, and later in the hour, tears.” It is with tears again in my own eyes that I write this. I wish – oh, how I wish! – that I had shared poetry with my dad in this way. He would have loved it. And I know right where I would I have started for the father who would watch multiple sports games on stacked TVs: with the Mudville Nine, and Casey at Bat. Andrea Doray is a writer who often quotes Frost with this, as well: “And miles to go before I sleep.” Contact her at a.doray@ andreadoray.com.

A promising relationship deserves a chance Editor’s Note: This is the first of a twopart series. This is from “The Best of Neil Rosenthal.” Dear Neil: Recently I ended a promising relationship with a man. He was solicitous of me: What did I want? How was I feeling? No man has ever been so attentive to my feelings or wishes, and it made me uneasy. He wanted to be together a lot, said he loved me, wanted to touch, and he complimented me a lot. He also lavished gifts, dinners out, trips, jewelry and surprises on me — and I began to feel suffocated — so I withdrew and ended our relationship. He was so caught off guard that he simply couldn’t understand what happened. I’d like your opinion about what happened. I have always wanted a man to behave this way toward me, so why did I reject what I’ve always wanted? Spooked in Vail Dear Spooked: Perhaps he was too intimate for you. There are degrees of closeness and intimacy, and some people are uncomfortable with feeling too close.
It could also be that you prefer to be in the position of seeking a man, and are uncomfortable when you are the one being sought after. Or it could be that you felt undeserving of a man lavishing so much attention and charm on you. You didn’t let your heart get very involved — you kept it insulated and at a distance. And perhaps most importantly, you didn’t talk to him in a timely manner and let him in on the secret that you had trouble with what he was doing, and that you wanted him to tone his attention and his charm down.
Frequently in a relationship we grow reluctant to talk about what’s bugging or irritating us — fearing that we will sound petty or that we will hurt the other person’s feelings. So we don’t talk about it — and that issue festers and grows — and ultimately it can become the kiss of death for the relationship. Because of reluctance to confront a problem, we wind up not talking about the very things that we must if we are going to make the relationship work. Relationships dissolve when one person has a concern, irritation or fear, and then withdraws or retreats without ever presenting those concerns to the other person for discussion. Who knows what would have happened if you had told your boyfriend of your irritations as soon as they started grating on you? A promising relationship deserves a fair chance to succeed. No budding connection between two people should fail without first checking out whether the dilemmas or differences can be negotiated
and resolved. This is the hard work of a relationship, and all promising romances deserve this chance. There’s a stance some people adopt, which goes like this: “If you value and want me, you lose value in my eyes. The only people I will go all out for are those who don’t act like they want me back. I need to earn acceptance, approval and love in order for me to value it. If you just offer it to me without me having to win it from you, I won’t value it, and I won’t value you.” I will elaborate on this dynamic in next week’s column. Neil Rosenthal is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Westminster and Boulder, Colorado. His column is in its 24th year of publication, and is syndicated around the world. You can reach him at 303-758-8777, or email him through his website: www.heartrelationships.com. He is the author of the new book: “Love, Sex and Staying Warm: Keeping the Flame Alive.”
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR For free enterprise in Arvada
As a born and raised American, I think I take free enterprise completely for granted. It’s not flashy or complicated, and that’s just why it works. Its simplicity and elegance are what has let it stand the test of time. It’s natural consequences, and it works. What doesn’t work? Collusion and monopolies? Square pegs in round holes? For me, the proposed Hilton about to be shoehorned in by our Urban Renewal Authority where the Vineyard Church currently meets. A not-necessarily budget-friendly Hilton, and the intention is for it to be the only hotel within a three-mile radius. That’s because that site is not considered a prime place to put a hotel. In other words, the free market wouldn’t put a hotel there. AURA will. And will protect it with a builtin monopoly and a higher-than-usual lodging tax. I’d love to see free enterprise come back to Arvada. Natural consequences are a lot easier to take when they’ve been built in from the beginning rather than as the result of mentally lazy choices on the part of urban renewal authorities. Susan Shirley Arvada
Air quality an issue
In the 5 Things You Should Know about the (Arvada) State of the City, air quality was not mentioned. We need to clean up our dirty air. In the west metro area where so many of the pollutants congregate against the foothills, the air is especially dirty. As measured by the Colorado Air Pollution Division and the Colorado Department of Public Health, Jefferson County in general and Arvada in particular are consistently above the “safe” level for ozone. Particulates, such as those from wood burning, are not even measured. Arvada has one ozone monitor and no particulate monitor. The city allows people to burn wood day and night, which causes particulate matter to infect our lungs. The state has burning restrictions in place for high-pollution days, but those are not enforced. If polluters were made to stop burning on so-called good air quality days, we would not have so many poor air quality days. Although it is common knowledge that large deciduous trees help clean the air of carbon dioxide, the city of Arvada cut down more than 200 large trees in the city in 2012(mainly along the Ralston Creek trail) and are on track to match that number this year. Air pollutants include those from our vehicles, gas-powered lawn equipment and wood-burning. The Arvada police department has stated that those who al-
low vehicles to idle unattended for longer than 10 minutes can be ticketed, but only because the police are concerned about vehicle theft, not air pollution. I suggest enlisting the public’s help by making us aware of pollution and publicly congratulating us on any improvements. That effort can be supplemented with education campaigns such as, “Plant trees, don’t burn them.” Kathleen Flynn Arvada
On Log Cabin Republican’s exclusion
Fools are precipitating this unnecessary division, forcing people, if not to participate, to at least support and endorse behavior they disapprove of. They are helping foster the thought-police legacy of the current administration. John Andrews encourages attendance at the Western Conservative Summit by individual, liberals, conservatives, scholars, plain Joes and Gays. However, groups such as the North American Man-Boy Love Association, the National Socialist White People’s Party, and the KKK, although not unlawful, are not welcome. Should they be if they wish to participate? Tom Graham Arvada
Extraction question
Should the Jeffco (Colorado) Education Association (aka Teachers Union) prevail in its recently filed law suit to overturn the recently granted pay increases for its exceptional and newly hired teachers, how would it then propose to extract from those of its members that excess money already paid to teachers as well as to reclaim the additional contributions made by the (R-1) District to the seriously underfunded PERA (Public Employees Retirement Association)? Russell W Haas, Golden
Tone of letter called ‘hateful’
I am a Jeffco parent and a former educator for Jeffco Public Schools. Members in my community recently received an 11-page mailer from the Independence Institute bashing Jeffco teachers. I am deeply offended and appalled by the hateful tone of this letter. While working for Jeffco, I was a member of the JCEA and the union never wrote my curriculum or put together my lesson plans as the Independence Institute implies! They claim, “Teachers unions are a threat to our children’s future. Free kids from the coercive power of the union.” Two-thirds of our Jeffco teachers are union members! When the Independence Institute say they are against the teachers union, they are saying they are against Jef-
fco’s teachers. Teachers must be respected, listened to and supported! Our children and future are
counting on them.

On fringes of ‘Jerusalem’ Edge Theater’s latest is epic in miniature
By Clarke Reader
creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com
H
ow does one explain the unexplainable? On the outskirts of a small English town lives a man who seems to have almost a mystical allure, but when his home is threatened, he taps into the unknown to save his way of life. That’s the conceit at the center of Jez Butterworth’s “Jerusalem,” which has its regional premiere at the Edge Theater, 1560 Teller St., through May 24. Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 6 p.m. Sundays. “Butterworth is a really interesting writer who writes about these outcast type people,” said director Warren Sherrill. “His writing is so poetic and beautiful — it’s unlike any theater people are used to seeing.” The story centers on Johnny “Rooster” Byron (Augustus Truhn), a gypsy wanderer and former daredevil who lives in the forest on the fringes of a small town in England. He’s been there for decades, but when the land becomes a site for development, he is given a short amount of time to leave. He’s a kind of Pied Piper figure, and has amassed a group of friends made up of local young people, who appreciate his free ways with illicit substances, but can they help to save him? Sherrill said the role has a Hamlet-like quality, and so Truhn tapped into his inner tragic jester to bring the character to life. “As a gypsy, he has a strong attachment to the earth and his traditions, and so he’s not going to go without a fight,” Truhn said. “I had to embrace my inner clown, but at the same time I can’t be afraid to tap into something darker.” Before getting cast in the show Truhn watched a documentary on legendary daredevil Evel Knievel, which served as a strong foundation upon which to build his portrayal of Rooster. “He’s the most reckless and smartest person in the room,” Truhn said. “He’s an incredible storyteller with a lot of love for humans and the environment, but is deeply flawed.” The show is sure to foster discussion about land use and developmental growth, and having a chance to discuss it with audiences is one of Truhn’s favorite parts of the process. “I know people that resemble this guy, and I think Rooster is a very real, human character,” he said. The rest of the 13-member cast includes Emily Paton Davies, Mark Collins, Bethany Richardson and Erica Fox. The show can be a scary one, Sherrill said, because of the British slang and references, as well as the subject matter, but the cast more than delivers. Both Sherrill and Truhn spoke about the benefits of producing “Jerusalem” in an intimate theater like the Edge, which allows for a deeper connection with the audience.
Sullivan’s, the LoDo steak house owned by Texas-based Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group, will close May 30 at the end of its lease, according to a story last week on The Denver Business Journal’s website. The restaurant, popular for its nightly live jazz music in the bar, was a 15-year-old fixture in a historic building on the corner of 17th and Wazee streets. The hotspot has been a favorite of Rockies fans who stop in for a quick drink and bar bites before and after games at nearby Coors Field. “We truly value the employees that made Sullivan’s a favorite amongst our appreciated guests and have programs in place to make sure they are taken care of during this time of transition,” Del Frisco’s Group said in a statement to the DBJ. Sullivan’s operates 16 steak houses across the country. The restaurants are owned by parent company Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group, which operates a highend restaurant in Greenwood Village and plans to open a more casual Del Frisco’s Grille in Cherry Creek North later this year. The new location at First Avenue and St. Paul Street will have an 8,000-square-foot restaurant plus a 9,000-square-foot rooftop and feature a menu that combines classic bar and grill meals at a lower price point that its sister restaurant Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse.
Cherry Cricket, Wynkoop not on block
A recent Facebook post caused a fuss when it said The Cherry Cricket building at 2641 E. Second Ave. is up for sale, but no need to panic. Wynkoop-Breckenridge LLC real estate holdings, including The Cricket as well as the Wynkoop Brewing Co. at 1634 18th St., are being sold and leased back for 20 years with four five-year options. The existing restaurants will stay put. It’s just a financial move, according to Wynkoop-Breckenridge honcho Lee Driscoll, who said the company will use the money to pay off debt and subsidize further expansion. “We hope to enter into a sale leaseback,” Driscoll said. “We sell the building and take back a 20-year lease with four five-year options. This is really a financing transaction, given we will be the tenants for the next 40 years.” The Wynkoop Brewing Co. was founded by Gov. John Hickenlooper, who started the brewery after he was laid off from his job as a geologist.

(up to 25 knots) that the Lusitania promised. And since Germany had issued warnings to all ships entering British waters, passengers appreciated the ships’ safety, and they scoffed. “The Lusitania was simply too big and too fast” for any real threat. In Washington D.C., President Woodrow Wilson was doubly-bereft: with his wife Ellen dead not quite a year, he’d fallen in love again. Edith Bolling Galt gently discouraged him as was war waged between Britain and Germany, but Wilson would do “all he could to keep America neutral”… and to get Edith to marry him. To those who served with him, Kptlt. Walther Schweiger was a conundrum: known for his sense of humor with those
aboard Unterseeboot-20, Schweiger was also renowned for his “callousness.” Life aboard a German U-boat was not pleasant, but Schweiger ensured that his men were happy. He had much less compassion for anyone on a ship in his sights. On May 1, 1915, the Lusitania prepared to leave New York City en route to Liverpool but first, it had business to tend to: a nearby British luxury liner had been conscripted and its passengers re-assigned. Getting them aboard took an extra two hours; the Lusitania, therefore, was late getting out to sea. Says Larson, “Even the briefest delay could shape history.”

Scientists convinced of tie between earthquakes, drilling Injection of wastewater deep underground cited as main culprit By Alicia Chang
Associated Press
With the evidence coming in from one study after another, scientists are now more certain than ever that oil and gas drilling is causing hundreds upon hundreds of earthquakes across the U.S. So far, the quakes have been mostly small and have done little damage beyond cracking plaster, toppling bricks and rattling nerves. But seismologists warn that the shaking can dramatically increase the chances of bigger, more dangerous quakes. Up to now, the oil and gas industry has generally argued that any such link requires further study. But the rapidly mounting evidence could bring heavier regulation down on drillers and make it more difficult for
them to get projects approved. The potential for man-made quakes “is an important and legitimate concern that must be taken very seriously by regulators and industry,” said Jason Bordoff, founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. He said companies and states can reduce the risk by taking such steps as monitoring operations more closely, imposing tighter standards and recycling wastewater from drilling instead of injecting it underground. A series of government and academic studies over the past few years — including at least two reports released this week alone — has added to the body of evidence implicating the U.S. drilling boom that has created a bounty of jobs and tax revenue over the past decade or so. Last week, the U.S. Geological Survey released the first comprehensive maps pinpointing more than a dozen areas in the central and eastern U.S. that have been jolted by quakes that the researchers said were triggered by drilling. The report said

west of Fort Worth, Texas, to nearby natural gas wells and wastewater disposal. The American Petroleum Institute said the industry is working with scientists and regulators “to better understand the issue and work toward collaborative solutions.” The Environmental Protection Agency said there no plans for new regulations as a result of the USGS study. “We knew there would be challenges there, but they can be overcome,” EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said at an energy conference in Houston. For decades, earthquakes were an afterthought in the central and eastern U.S., which worried more about tornadoes, floods and hurricanes. Since 2009, quakes have sharply increased, and in some surprising places. The ground has been trembling in regions that were once seismically stable, including parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas. The largest jolt linked to wastewater injection — a magnitude-5.6 that hit Prague, Oklahoma, in 2011 — damaged 200 buildings and shook a college football stadium. The uptick in Oklahoma quakes has prompted state regulators to require a seismic review of all proposed disposal wells. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission, which regulates the oil and gas industry, has ordered dozens of disposal wells to stop operating or change the way they are run because of concerns they might be triggering earthquakes, said spokesman Matt Skinner. “There are far more steps that will be taken,” Skinner said. Last year, regulators in Colorado ordered an operator to temporarily stop injecting wastewater after the job was believed to be linked to several small quakes.

man-made quakes tied to industry operations have been on the rise. Scientists have mainly attributed the spike to the injection of wastewater deep underground, a practice they say can activate dormant faults. Only a few cases of shaking have been blamed on fracking, in which large volumes of water, sand and chemicals are pumped into rock formations to crack them open and free oil or gas. The picture is very clear” that wastewater injection can cause faults to move, said USGS geophysicist William Ellsworth. Until recently, Oklahoma — one of the biggest energy-producing states — had been cautious about linking the spate of quakes to drilling. But the Oklahoma Geological Survey acknowledged earlier this week that it is “very likely” that recent seismic activity was caused by the injection of wastewater into disposal wells. Earthquake activity in Oklahoma in 2013 was 70 times greater than it was before 2008, state geologists reported. Oklahoma historically recorded an average of 1.5 quakes of magnitude 3 or greater each year. It is now seeing an average of 2.5 such quakes each day, according to geologists. Angela Spotts, who lives outside Stillwater, Oklahoma, in an area with a number of wastewater disposal wells, said the shaking has damaged her brick home. She pointed to the cracked interior and exterior walls, and windows and kitchen cabinets that are separating from the structure. “There’s been no doubt in my mind what’s causing them,” Spotts said. “Sadly, it’s really taken a long time for people to come around. Our lives are being placed at risk. Our homes are being broken.” Yet another study, this one published last week in the journal Nature Communications, connected a swarm of small quakes

Shooting puts one in hospital, one in jail Arvada woman held on attempted murder charges By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com While working on a landscaping project off Simms Street, Hugo Navarro and his coworker say they heard three gunshots. Immediately following, a woman came running out of the neighboring house, screaming into her phone. “There was something wrong with her … She was sounding drunk,” Navarro said. At 1:30 p.m., the Arvada Police Department received a call allegedly from LaVern Thibodeaux, stating she had shot a man inside her Thibodeaux home at 6810 Simms Court. A house guest, Eddie Goodwin, was taken to a nearby hospital with serious gunshot wounds. Police say he is expected to survive. “He looked young and his head was all bloody and his leg,” Navarro said.
Police vehicles surround a home in the 6800 block of Simms Court following an April 21 afternoon shooting between two individuals in the home. Photo by Crystal Anderson Thibodeaux is being held at the Jefferson County Jail during the investigation for attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault. Eyewitnesses at the scene said the woman was acting crazily, running from the
house and yelling in an odd state of panic or being scared, when the incident occurred. According to the Jeffco County Assessors, the house belongs to LaVern and Daniel Thibodeaux. “I talked to my neighbors, and they had
her in handcuffs, on the ground,” said Josh Howell, a resident of the home adjacent to the Thibodeaux’s. “I know her son, he was really quiet, we play baseball together … She was really broken up, they said she didn’t feel right.”

YOUR WEEK MORE THEATER/SHOWS ALL SHOOK UP: A MUSICAL
TROLLEY CAR RESTORATION
COLORADO ACTS presents “All Shook Up: A Musical,” a production of the Thursday night 12- to 18-year-old group. Afternoon At the Hop is a musical variety show displaying the wholesome charm of the 1950s. The only problem is the cast isn’t so keen to perform what they’re told. During a broadcast, they lock their producer in a closet and take over the show. Now playing more modern music, the kids create their own dance routines and unseemly presentations. It appears to be going well until their parents start getting suspicious. Performances are at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 1-2 and May 8-9 at Colorado ACTS Theater, 11455 W. I-70 Frontage Road North, Wheat Ridge. Call 303-456-6772 or go to www.coloradoacts.org.

Louis Vasquez is at once comfortable and restless. After serving as Denver’s emergency right tackle over the last half of last season, Vasquez confirmed last week that he’s moving back to his natural position at right guard. More change is afoot, though. Not only is Vasquez adjusting to a new position coach in Clancy Barone and to the zone blocking scheme that coach Gary Kubiak and offensive coordinator Rick Dennison are reintroducing in Denver, but he’ll also be playing between two new starters in 2015. The Broncos allowed center Will Montgomery and left guard Orlando Franklin to leave via free agency, and right tackle is high on general manager John Elway’s wish list heading into the draft. “Obviously, the center’s going to be the guy that makes all the calls up front and it kind of trickles down from there. But I’d say it’s equally as challenging playing next to two new guys,” Vasquez said. “But I’m excited to see who’s going to take over the spots.” The Broncos traded for center Gino Gradkowski this offseason and he’ll compete with Manny Ramirez, who served as Denver’s snapper for 1 1-2 seasons before being benched over the last half of 2014.
Chris Clark, who started almost an entire season at left tackle when Ryan Clady was hurt in 2013, and second-year pro Michael Schofield, are in the mix at right tackle along with, in all probability, a high draft pick. There will also be a new man at left guard. Ben Garland and newcomer Shelly Smith are vying to replace Franklin, who signed a five-year, $35.5 million deal with rival San Diego. Vasquez is returning to a position where he was an All-Pro in 2013, allowing no sacks while playing every one of Denver’s 1,207 offensive snaps. He was asked to slide over to tackle midway through last season when the former coaching staff made wholesale changes along the line in what turned out to be a futile attempt to salvage their Super Bowl hopes. “My mentality is I’m a guard,” Vasquez said. “I would love to stay inside the trenches. That’s just how my mentality is. I’m a big, strong guy and I like to get physical and being on the outside, it’s more finesse. The guys want to rush the passer and things of that nature and that’s not my forte.” Vasquez, who was already bothered by a balky back last season, had to learn tackle on the fly as he tried to keep pass-rushers away from Peyton Manning. “I had to put my work in because it wasn’t easy,” Vasquez said. “And it strained us as a unit up front.” The Broncos are in the midst of remaking their offensive line again this offseason, but at least their best lineman is back in his comfort zone.

Tigers lose diamond battle
Columbine bests Lakewood in key league baseball game
By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com
Lakewood came out on the short end of a 5-2 score in a crucial Jeffco League baseball game against Columbine because the Rebels got key hits when they were needed and Lakewood didn’t. “We are a young team and we are still learning how to win games like this,” Lakewood coach Derrick Peterson said after the April 22 game. “Today, we left too many opportunities on the field and didn’t get the key hits when we needed them. I hope this makes us hungry to go get more wins.” Key moments: Columbine pushed a run across the plate in the first inning and added another in the second inning. The Tigers responded with a run of their own as Ben Schechter singled, stole second and scored on an RBI single by Danny Collins. Lakewood catcher Casey O’Neill made two defensive plays, tagging out runners trying to score from third to keep the game close. The Rebels widened their advantage by scoring two runs in the fifth inning and another in the sixth. Lakewood pushed one run across the plate in top of the seventh to make the final score Columbine 5-Lakewood 2. Key players/statistics: Lakewood scored two runs on six hits. Danny Collins was the hitting leader as he went 3-for-3 with a double, a pair of singles and one RBI. Michael Vessa didn’t have a hit in three trips to the plate when his teammate scored as he was put out on a fielder’s choice. Chase Powell got the start on the mound for the Tigers. He pitched 4-2/3 innings, gave up seven hits, three earned runs, walked five and struck out two. Jimmy Garcia came on in relief, pitched 1-1/3 innings, gave up two hits, one run, walked two and struck out four. They said it: The Lakewood coach said the team is challenged in the final two weeks of the season because with earlier games postponed by weather, the Pirates

Photos by Tom Munds were scheduled to play seven games in the 10 days that started April 20. But he said there are seven players he can put on the mound any day so he figures the team will deal with the crowded schedule. Going forward: The Tigers will be kept busy with games almost every day as they wrap up the season. They have May 2 set aside to play an opponent yet to be announced to make up for a game that was postponed due to weather. Lakewood then wraps up the regular season May 4 with a road game against Monarch. The Tigers are expecting to make the playoffs and will learn who they will play when the tournament schedule is released in early May.

Placing in the top six in an event and earning team points proved a major challenge since more than 1,000 athletes took part in the events at the April 24-25 Liberty Bell Invitational Track and Field Meet at Littleton Public School Stadium.

The goal for every athlete was to win or at least make the finals in each event. The top eight finishers in track events earned team points, 10 points for the event winner and one point for the eighth-place finisher. Fort Collins won the girls team championship trophy with 81 points. Wheat Ridge finished 12 and Ralston Valley was 13th, both with 21 points. In the case of ties in points, the team with the higher individual event finishes takes the higher position in the standings. D’Evelyn was 20th and Faith Christian was 21 as both teams scored 13 points. The Farmers were aided in their team

Sarah Smith of D’Evelyn scored points for her team, being second in the triple jump. Teammate Lexi Reed scored points for her team as she took fourth in the 3,200-meter run and sixth in the 800. Sarah Yokum of Faith Christian took top honors in the 300-meter hurdles. Among area teams, Lakewood placed 12th in the boys team standings with 22 points while Ralston Valley was 16th and Holy Family was 17th. D’Evelyn scored 13 points to take 22nd spot and Faith Christian finished 33rd in the 57-team field. Brock Miller scored team points for Lakewood as he finished second in the 400-meter run and fourth in the 200-meter dash. Teammate Noah Riley helped the point total with a fourth place finish in the 1,600-meter run. Other area school individuals who placed included Mark Rockwood who was third in the 400-meter run and teammate Collin root who was third in the discus for Ralston Valley. Dustin Ethridge of D’Evelyn took runner-up honors in the 300-meter hurdles while Ryan Younggreen of Holy Family was fourth.

through juniors on the team so we have kids who compete well in just about all the areas of track and field. We are super proud to see our kids run fast times or getting good distances in the field events.”

Start by making this weekend a “just for fun” time zone. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Some recently uncovered information might make a change of plans inevitable. If so, deal with it as quickly as possible, and then find out what went wrong and why. What you learn might surprise you. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Aspects favor moving carefully and deliberately when making any significant changes. Could be there are more facts you need to know, which you might overlook if you rush things. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A problem neighbor might be looking to goad you into an action you don’t want to take.

NOTE FROM CEO DAWN SMITH Legos or Lincoln Logs? What was your building block of choice as a child? Legos, Lincoln Logs or maybe boxes, blankets and random pieces of furniture for a fort in the living room? This month we’ll focus on building your business, and a great way to start is building your brand. Here are 5 of 10 tips from an article by Dan Einzig. 1. Start by defining your brand: Review the product or service your business offers, pinpoint the space in the market it occupies and research the emotive and rational needs and concerns of your customers. Your brand character should promote your business, connect with your customer base and differentiate you in the market. 2. When building your brand, think of it as a person: Every one of us is an individual whose character is made up of beliefs, values and purposes that define who we are and who we connect with. 3. Consider what is driving your business: What does it believe in, what is its purpose and who are its brand heroes? These things can help establish your emotive brand positioning and inform the identity and character for brand communications. 4. Aim to build long-term relationships with your customers: Don’t dress up your offering and raise expectations that result in broken promises; create trust with honest branding — be clear who your company is and be true to the values that drive it every day. 5. The old way of stamping your logo on everything won’t cut it: The future of branding is fluid and engaging — respect your customers’ intelligence by not giving everything away up front. Generate some intrigue and allow them to unearth more about your brand for themselves. This is the way to foster ambassadors who revel in telling other people what they have discovered.Read the entire article at http://blog.fundinggates.com/2013/08/network-with-small-business-owners/ Read all ten tips at http://www.marketingdonut.co.uk/marketing/marketing-strategy/branding/ten-ways-to-build-a-brandfor-your-small-business. I hope to see you soon, and thanks for shopping locally!

STRAIGHT TALK TO BOOST YOUR BOTTOM LINE - PRESENTED BY SYLVIA THEISEN In business, it’s easy to assume that our challenges are based on external variables – we look to the economy, our online presence, our competitors. However, often the best place to start is with ourselves. Is our communication style attracting or repelling business? Join us in a fun and lively presentation to learn: • The #1 way you are unknowingly turning your customers away and why they won’t tell you what you need to know • How to quickly get more of what you need and want by changing the way you ask • The simple habit you can develop today that will increase your revenues • And much more!! Sylvia is a Denver-based professional speaker and trainer. Her first career was as a psychotherapist in private practice, where she counseled employees of Fortune 500 companies. She later plunged into the competitive world of residential real estate, closing over $100 million in sales and receiving five star ratings for excellence in negotiating and customer service. Today, Sylvia provides keynote speeches, training and coaching to business leaders. She keeps her audiences engaged and gives them a straight forward action plan they’ll actually implement to get results. www.sylviatheisen.com Golden Chamber of Commerce - LUNCH & LEARN OPPORTUNITY Thursday May 21st, 2015 - 11:30am-1:00pm | 1010 Washington Ave, Golden (303) 279-3113 COST: $10/MEMBERS $15/Non-member | BRING YOUR OWN LUNCH!
