A class to remember
High-achieving students at Mapleton set the bar high By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mapleton Public School may be modest in size, but it is proving to be impressive with academic talent. Mapleton, with a population of just 6,247 (excluding its online school), will graduate close to 260 students on May 31. Of the graduating class, there have been some notable feats from high-achieving students. There have been more than $4 million in scholarships received by the Class of 2014 as of May 2. One student was accepted into three Ivy League schools, another student is going to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and another was appointed to the United States Air Force Academy. A student received the Boettcher Scholarship, two were selected to be Gates Millennium Scholars, five were offered Daniels Fund scholarships and one earned a Blue & Gold Award from Regis University. “We have received some very highprofile scholarships and university acceptances that really honor the work of our students and the dedicated staff of adults that support them,” Superintendent Charlotte Ciancio said. “These are amazing highlights and awards. We have so many every day examples of the great things our students accomplish.”
Impressive acceptances, scholarships The Gates Millennium Scholars program offers a good-through-graduation scholarship to use at any university and only selects 1,000 recipients nationwide, according to the program’s website http:// gmsp.org/. Two of the 2014 recipients not only come from Mapleton, but from the same school as well. Viviana Andazola Marquez and Navil Perez have known each other since third grade and consider themselves “brothers.” The two York International School seniors finish each other sentences and even know the exact time and date when the other learned they were accepted into the school
Mapleton Public Schools had some amazing feats from its soon-to-be graduates this year, including winning competitive scholarships and getting accepted into high-profile universities. This year’s graduation ceremony will be 10 a.m. Saturday, May 31, at George DiTirro Stadium at the Skyview Campus in Thornton. Courtesy photo of Mapleton of their choice. “Dec. 14, at 12:14,” Marquez answered promptly when Perez asked her when she found out she was accepted into MIT. Perez, who is York’s valedictorian, will study biological engineering at MIT and plans to go to medical school. Only 7.7 percent of applicants in 2014 were accepted into MIT — 1,419 out of 18,357 students that applied, according to the school. Marquez and Perez said it was challenging finding ways to make their applications stand out — they were competing with students who attended private schools or high-income public schools. “It was good having someone to push you,” Perez said of her friendship with Marquez.
It is impressive to be accepted to one Ivy League school; Marquez was accepted into three — Princeton, Yale and Harvard. According to a March article in the Washington Post, 34,295 students apply to Harvard, but only 2,023 get accepted (5.9 percent); 26,641 apply to Princeton, 1,939 get accepted (7.3 percent); and 30,932 apply to Yale, 1,935 are accepted (6.3 percent). Marquez chose Yale because “it was the one that felt right” and plans to major in ethics, politics and economics. She is considering law school after she earns her bachelor’s degree. MIT and Yale are two hours away, and the girls plan to visit each other monthly and do some shopping in New York City. Along with their Gates scholarships, the girls also received a Daniels Fund scholar-
ship. Each year, approximately 250 Daniels Scholars are selected out of thousands who apply to receive a “last dollar” scholarship, according to www.danielsfund.org. This scholarship is intended to cover the student’s unmet financial need when attending a university or college. Marquez and Perez were among five Mapleton students who were offered this scholarship.
Tough choice — college or military? Brian Ortiz, a senior at Global Leadership Academy, was also offered a Daniels Fund scholarship. However, he had to decline it. The five Mapleton students found out about their Daniels Fund scholarship offer Class continues on Page 13
Portion of Platte River Trail to be completed Adams County contracts work for trail between 108th and 120th By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Work on a two-mile stretch of the South Platte River Trail between 120th and 108th avenues could be completed as soon as June 2015. The Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved a contract with Drexel, Barrell & Company during its April 28 regular meeting. The $143,120 contract POSTAL ADDRESS
covers the cost of engineering and design work of the trail. There is $1.4 million set aside in the capital budget for this project, which covers the costs of construction, according to a county document. “This project will construct approximately 9,000 linear feet of 10-foot wide concrete trail and two pedestrian bridges and complete the South Platte River Trail through the Regional Park all the way north to E-470,” project manager Marc Pedrucci said. The bridges that will be constructed will go across the South Platte River Trail near 120th and across Bull Seep near 108th. Design and permitting work is being
done during the next six months. Construction should begin in January 2015 and hopefully be completed by June 2015, he added. “The South Platte River trail currently ends at approximately 108th Avenue, and from that point to 120th Avenue (south edge of the AC Regional Park) the trail does not exist,” Pedrucci said. “Once this segment is completed the South Platte River Trail will run continuously for almost 40 miles all the way to Chatfield Reservoir.” This is the last segment the county will build. The remaining sections within Adams County will be built by the city of Brighton, according to county staff. The county, in partnership with the Urban

Lawmakers: Moderates needed to further debate Every couple of years, the Legislature loses familiar faces, for better or for worse. Some have to leave because of term limits. But others decide on their own that government and politics just aren’t for them any more — giving us hope that politicians aren’t entirely crazy. It’s common for lawmakers who are leaving the Capitol to reflect on the past and look toward the future. But during recent conversations with three outgoing female lawmakers, I found it interesting how concerned they were over one thing in particular — the loss of moderate representation at the Capitol. “I think it’s very sad that three moderate women are opting out of a fourth term,” said Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge. Schafer referenced herself and Republican Reps. Carole Murray of Castle Rock and Cheri Gerou of Evergreen as three lawmakers whose exits will leave a void at the General Assembly. The three women — who have served in the House for a combined 18 years — have been known to cast votes that blur party lines. For example, Schafer sometimes bucks her party on small business issues. “I don’t always vote with my caucus,” she said. “Sometimes we have bad bills and so do the others across the aisle.” Murray was a co-sponsor of the Student Success Act, a major bipartisan education bill. And she shed tears and raised eyebrows when she voted for last year’s bill that created civil unions in Colorado — joining only a few Republicans to do so. Gerou also voted for the civil unions bill and has often crossed the aisle on legislation, which sometimes ruffles the feathers of those on the more conservative wing of the Republican Party. Both Gerou and Murray said they are
concerned that their party is losing touch with moderate voters. That’s been a struggle for a party that has not fared well at the state or national level in recent years. Gerou did not hesitate when I asked whether she was concerned about the state of her party. “Oh, absolutely,” she said. “It’ll guarantee that we’re in the minority for a really long time. I talked to Sue Schafer and she’s concerned there’s no moderation, and it’s on both sides. But I think it’s your own party that bugs you the most because you expect certain things from the other party, but it disappoints you when your party does things you don’t like.” Gerou said it is social issues — such as gay marriage, debates over abortion and immigration reform — that is hurting the GOP brand. “I hope they stop focusing on social issues and get back to doing what Republicans have always done well, and that’s represent business,” Gerou said. “I wish the social issues would go away. “I look back at someone like Barry Goldwater, when they asked him his thoughts on gays in the military. And he said, `I don’t care. If they want to serve our country, let them serve our country.’ That’s the type of Republican I like to be around.” Murray agrees that social issues have hurt the party and have turned off many voters, including many Republicans. “It’s particularly difficult to the old-line,
establishment Republicans who have not been accustomed to the social issues being brought into the conservation,” Murray said. “And the new Republicans, too. All of the young interns and aides at the Capitol have a hard time relating to the hard stance that we take on certain issues. “I’ve had many friends who feel like they don’t recognize the party and that gives me pause. Because, as a party, we can’t be pushing people away. We need to find out a way to bring people in.” Murray said that Republicans should do more to reach out to Hispanics, who are growing in population and in political strength. “If we don’t bring them in — and soon — we may never win again,” Murray said.
Gerou feels the same way and hopes that the party gets back on track by focusing on economic issues and not social ones. But don’t expect Gerou to change parties any time soon. “I’m not going to become a Democrat; I just can’t,” Gerou said while laughing. “I couldn’t do that to my grandparents. It’s like when I was younger, I couldn’t live with a guy because if my grandmother ever found out, I couldn’t face it. “I’m 58 years old and my grandmother still controls my life.” Vic Vela covers the Legislature for Colorado Community Media.

Oil-gas study measure dies Bill would have required probe of health impacts By Vic Vela
vvela@colorado communitymedia.com A bill that would have created a study of the health impacts of oil and gas drilling on Front Range residents died in a state Senate committee on April 29. The bill — which increased in cost over time — was killed in the Senate Appropriations Committee, following a 5-2 vote. Democratic Sens. Pat Steadman of Denver and Mary Hodge of Brighton joined all Republican committee members in voting against the measure. A dejected bill sponsor expressed disappointment after her effort failed. “I think the people’s voices have been
silenced,” said Rep. Joann Ginal, D-Fort Collins. House Bill 1297 would have required the state to conduct a three-year health impact Report study on residents living in the Front Range counties of Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer and Weld. The study would have included the surveying of residents living in those areas and the possible review of medical records. The effort was a response to concerns over the practice of hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking” — the practice of mixing of water, sand and chemicals and blasting the mixture deep into the ground to crack
Capitol
porous rock and free up oil and gas. The study would have focused on counties that include communities that have sought to either ban or limit the practice of fracking over the last few years. Ginal and other bill supporters said a study would provide both a health and educational benefit for Coloradans who want to know more about the impacts of the controversial oil and gas industry moneymaker and job creator. However, the bill received only a single Republican vote in the House. Some legislators and oil and gas industry leaders opposed the effort for reasons that included concerns that the study would be slanted toward the viewpoint of fracking opponents. Money was also an issue. Originally, the bill sought only to include Adams, Boulder, Larimer and Weld counties as part of the study. But a House committee added
Arapahoe County and the City and County of Broomfield to that list. The additions increased the study’s cost to about $700,000 — something that concerned Ginal before it even got to the Senate Appropriations Committee. Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, said she did not know if cost or other factors led to the bill’s defeat. Carroll did say that she supported the bill and that “it’s a basic responsibility (of the state)” to look out for the health of its residents. “I think sooner or later it behooves all of us to get a credible and independent study,” Carroll said. “And, from the oil and gas perspective, if (fracking) is as safe as they say, then they should have credible independent studies that confirm that.” Ginal said she intends to revive the effort next year.
Northglenn increases water/wastewater rates Council passes first rate increase since 2011 By Tammy Kranz tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Northglenn residents’ water and wastewater rates are going up, effective June 1. The revenue will fund future capital improvement projects, water rights acquisitions, general maintenance projects and maintaining adequate operating and capital reserves. City Council approved to increase water rates by about 10 percent by an 8-1 vote during its April 28 regular meeting. The vote came after a public hearing on the
matter, at which time two residents spoke against the increase. The city invests a lot of money in different professional studies, said resident Loyal Barstow, “and we still wind up making the wrong decisions. I can’t afford it anymore.” In 2005, the city contracted Red Oak Consulting to develop a water and wastewater rate study. The study found that in order to meet the funding and service requirements, the city would need to increase its rates by approximately 7.5-8 percent annually for five years. The city increased its rates in 2009, 2010 and 2011, and put a pause on the increase in 2012 and 2013. A residential customer who has an average monthly water consumption in the

winter of 5,000 gallons will see an increase from $40.69 to $44.95. A residential customer who has an average water consumption in the summer of 15,000 gallons will see an increase from $81.89 to $89.70. The new rates will increase water and wastewater revenue collections by approximately $700,000 over a 12-month period “The need for the rate increase is to help capital projects of over $ 52 million we’re going to see over the next 10 to 12 years,” said Jason Loveland, the city’s finance director. He added the increase won’t cover all of those projects but will put the city in a better position to finance them. “Some of the projects are regulatory, some of them are operational, expansion and efficiency type of projects and some for capacity purposes.”
Some future capital improvement projects include for 2015-16: headworks and secondary clarifier, $7,310,000; decommission intake lagoons, $1,440,000; for 20192021: Bull Reservoir effluent pumping, pH control, $368,000; Lift Station “A” (second phase improvements), $660,000; expanded lab and operations space, $600,000; pave access roads, $565,000; and force Main “A” redundant pipeline, $12,000,000; and for 2024-2026: primary clarifier, biosolids handling system and decommission sludge lagoons, $21,200,000. Ward I Councilman Wayne Dodge said the rate was not drastic, but was voting against the measure out of principle. “It’s hard to go out for another increase while we’re banking money,” he said of the city’s fund balance.

Youfit gym opens Thornton location The pilot of a Piper single engine plane survived after crashing into a home at 11067 Livingston Drive in Northglenn at 3:44 p.m. Monday, May 5. The pilot was able to extract himself from the plane with only minor injuries. No one was in the home at the time of the crash but firefighters did rescue two dogs and a lizard. Thornton fire department assisted with the call. Witnesses say the plane was carrying a commercial banner behind it when it started going down. It is believed the pilot released the banner before crashing into the two-story home. The cause of the plane crash is unknown at this time and the investigation has been handed over to the Federal Aviation Administration. Photo by Courtesy photo by NMFR

Club features no long-term contract, $10 monthly rate By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rick Berks is convinced anyone visiting any of his health clubs across the country will be amazed at how spotlessly clean they are and impressed with the top-of-the-line equipment. “I think we surprise people when they come to our gyms,” said Berks, president and founder of Youfit Clubs. “It’s not what they expect for a $10 a month price tag.” Youfit opened its 68th location in the country, and its second site in Colorado, at 3750 E. 120th Ave. in Thornton on April 11. The first location is in Aurora. Berks said his gyms are not geared toward bodybuilders or gym rats, but instead, to the average person who wants to stay in shape. “We’re building clubs for people who don’t want to deal with the trauma and drama of the usual health club,” he said. The current monthly rate is $10 and there are no long-term contracts. The monthly fee gives members full access to
all facilities. The Thornton gym is about 15,000-square-feet and full of Americanmade equipment — an array of cardio and weight lifting machines as well as free weights. The color scheme is bright green and purple. “We want to energize people that come here,” Berks said. He added that his clubs are environmentally friendly as well, featuring floors made of recycled tires and sneakers and “green” heating/cooling, water and power systems. The Thornton location offers one class, called “Express Circuit, which is a full cardio and resistance-training workout in only 30 minutes. The gym is opened 5 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday, 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Berks said the two locations in Colorado were receiving positive responses. “I think we’re on track to surpassing 1,000 members this month alone,” he said of the Thornton location during an April 28 interview.

Sometimes advice is so good it’s meant to be posted at eye level on refrigerator. “The 101 Principles of Discipline” by Dr. Katharine Kersey is one of those. Three columns will be devoted to the list. Get your scissors and tape out. The list is printed with Dr. Kersey’s permission. Discipline That Works Dr. Kersey quotes J. L. Hymes, ”Discipline is a slow, bit by bit, time-consuming task of helping children to see the sense in acting a certain way.” Here are some selections: Demonstrate Respect Principle — Treat the child the same way you treat other important people in your life — the way you want him to treat you — and others. (How would I want them to say that to me?) Make a Big Deal Principle — Make a big deal over responsible, considerate, appropriate behavior — with attention (your eyeballs), thanks, praise, thumbsup, recognition, hugs, special privileges, incentives (NOT food). Incompatible Alternative Principle — Give the child something to do that is incompatible with the inappropriate behavior. “Help me pick out 6 oranges” (instead of running around the grocery store). Choice Principle — Give the child two choices, both of which are positive and acceptable to you. “Would you rather tiptoe or hop upstairs to bed?” (“You choose or I’ll choose.”) Timer Says it’s Time Principle — Set a timer to help children make transitions. “When the timer goes off, you will need
to put away your books.” Then allow him to remove himself from the group and set the timer. You may offer the child a choice (and set the timer) when it’s necessary for him to do something he doesn’t want to do. “Do you want to pick up your toys/let Susan have the toy/take your bath?Allow Imperfection Principle — Don’t demand perfection. Remember no one likes the “perfect” child, parent or teacher. With perfection as the goal, we are all losers. Anticipation Principle — Think ahead about whether or not the child is capable of handling the situation. If not, don’t take him (an expensive restaurant, long church services with out a special room, shopping, or movies). Apology Principle — Apologize easily — when you goof, or “lose it.” (“I wish I could erase what I just said.” “You must have been scared by my reaction.” “I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.” “I was wrong.” “I’m sorry.”) Apologize for your child (“I’m sorry he knocked you down”), but DON’T make your child apologize. (You might be making him lie. Babysitter Principle — Get one.

Innovators keep state economy expanding Colorado is known worldwide for our endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, our 300-plus days of sunshine a year, and even our diversity of craft brewers. We have also developed a solid reputation as a hub for invention and innovation. Colorado companies have an entrepreneurial spirit that is driving new ideas, spurring economic growth, and creating jobs. Recently, we saw some of this firsthand, touring companies across the state that are thriving because of their innovative products and solutions. From Grand Junction to Fort Collins, Colorado companies are focused on inventing the future. In Boulder, we met with the owners of Newton Running. Their advanced sole technology is propelling both runners — and the Newton business — faster and farther. In Grand Junction, we visited Tim and Christy Fry, who moved here from Ohio to invest in Colorado-developed technology because of our great quality of life and business-friendly climate. Their company, Mountain Racing Products, makes top-of-the-line biking components that are shipped all over the world, and they employ nearly two dozen Coloradans. We also stopped by Western Slope Industries, the only U.S.-based manufacturer of large, industrial machines that fold and seal packages for food products. They employ more than 60 people in their 45,000-square-foot facility. In Fort Collins and Loveland, we toured the VanDyne SuperTurbo Headquarters and the engines lab where the company tests its equipment. VanDyne’s patented SuperTurbo engine combines a turbocharger and a transmission into one device, improving fuel efficiency and horsepower while reducing emissions. The SuperTurbo can power the likes of city buses, Caterpillar bulldozers, and John Deere tractors. Finally, in Park Hill, we saw Never Summer Industries turn blocks of locally
sourced wood into high-quality skis and snowboards. Never Summer is one of only a handful of companies still manufacturing snowboards in the United States, producing more than 240 snowboards a day. All of these companies are building success through innovation. And one thing almost all of them have in common is patented technology. You may not know it, but that convex and concave design on your Never Summer snowboard is original, patented technology. And that distinctive pop sensation you feel on the balls of your feet when you’re running in a Newton shoe? That’s patented too. So is Western Slope Industries’ machine process that makes the cardboard packaging that holds your morning orange juice. The patent process is an important part of our state’s economy, helping inventors and entrepreneurs build successful businesses, generate revenue, and create new jobs. That’s one of the reasons we coordinated a statewide effort to bring a satellite patent office right here to Colorado. The opening of the United States Patent and Trademark Satellite Office this summer in Denver — one of only four cities nationwide selected to house a satellite office — benefits firms like these by providing an improved and more accessible patent process. They, in turn, help propel our state forward. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

opinions / yours and ours
No go best signal for red-light bill A bill to ban red-light cameras and photo-radar systems inspired healthy debate in the Statehouse but ultimately did not get the green light, and we’re fine with the call. Further we agree with one of our local legislators, Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, who opposed a late amendment to the respective bill to fund a study on red-light camera effectiveness. Funds that would go toward a study, could perhaps go to another CDOT bridge, Tyler noted. No pressing need for more research. Both sides have sources — on one hand that the technology improves public safety and on the other hand the use of the technology actually has the reverse effect, and further that the practices function more as a cash cow than a tool targeting public safety.
our view It’s worth noting that this proposed and oft-discussed ban on red-light cameras and photo radar got a strong push at the Legislature this year with bipartisan support. Rep. Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley and House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, were among those who gave arguments that the cash-producing systems do not improve safety. But with every urging to do away with the cameras, plenty of legislators and others stepped forward to say the technology comes to the aid of public safety in their neck of the woods. We value these local
voices, and support local control of the technology. Technology and the automation of tasks that would otherwise be carried out by people increases efficiency and can often in practice be much more consistent and comprehensive. To that aim, earlier in the session, we reported Jessie Ulibarri of Commerce City saying technology is especially vital in areas where “human management is impossible.” But that’s the trick and where some controversy lies. We recognize a healthy mistrust of the mounted cameras keeping tabs on drivers. People wonder if existing regulations governing the use of the cameras is enough. Further, are yellow lights shortened to bring in more revenue or does common sense balanced with guidelines and regu-
lations prevail? And are camera practices going to instant-replay pro sports heights with each line drawn hard and fast and little left in the way discretion? For now, we are glad the practices remain in local control. The debate has been eye-opening for many and should encourage cities to make sure red-light cameras and photo radar systems are being used in a way that is truly focused on public safety and efficiency. With each advance in technology comes many questions about ethics and appropriate use. We are in the thick of the increasing prevalence of lenses that watch everything everywhere. In this case, better to refine it — the where, when and how of it all — rather than switch it off.

The Perkin’s ambassador As I am enjoying my scrambled eggs and crisp bacon while reading The Denver Post on a Friday morning at Perkins Restaurant, I cannot help but overhear the banter between the waitress and the older couple sitting in the next booth. While not intending to “listen in” on their conversation, I observe how chipper and friendly the waitress is not only with this couple, but everyone with whom she has contact. Her upbeat demeanor really caught my attention and so I continued to observe her going about her waitress duties. The more I heard her snippets of conversation with different age customers, the more she struck me as “Perkin’s Ambassador.”
UPBEAT WITH EVERYONE
Let’s face it; waitressing is not the easiest job or the most rewarding normally. Dealing with the public is truly a “mixed bag” as I recall from my city government career. Some people are open and cheery and others would just soon be left alone and don’t want to chit chat. Well, Sarah the waitress has a positive comment for everyone and willing to converse about a wide assortment of topics. The twinkle in her eye and bounce in her step further amplify her positive disposition. Oh, and did I mention the good service she provides checking regularly to see if the customer needs another pot of coffee or are the eggs to your liking?

So, what’s the point of this op-ed column? It isn’t about Gov. Christie’s cheap remarks about marijuana in Colorado or the interesting polling results on the Colorado U.S. Senate race. It is about everyday life of one individual and how she is the “Perkin’s Ambassador.” Sarah makes a difference. She puts a little “sunshine” in her customers’ lives. She greets the day in a
positive attitude. And I would add that she makes those who she comes in contact with a little more happy. Plus, it is quite obvious that she enjoys her work! It amazes me that she has been doing this work at Perkins Restaurant at 88th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard for 17 years. Wouldn’t it be great if everyone enjoyed their job like Sarah does.
LIGHTING JUST ONE LITTLE CANDLE
There is a lesson for all of us in Sarah’s approach to her job. I eat out a fair amount and I seldom come across a waitress or waiter who spreads a “little joy” with the customers to the extent which she does. If each of us in our own way would “walk in Sarah’s shoes,” wouldn’t it be a better place to live? It would be better from both the standpoint of us “the giver” as well as being “the receiver.” It’s the little things that matter in our daily lives. Growing up in Missouri watching black and white television, I remember a regular TV program called “The Christopher Movement.” (Gosh, why would I remember that particular show?) The show always ended with their theme---“if everyone lit just one little candle, what a bright world this would be.” For sure, Sarah, the “Perkin’s Ambassabor”, carries a lit candle every day and I for one thank her for doing so. Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

Getting divisive over diversity What an interesting couple weeks it has been for “diversity” in our country. A study in contrasts, if you will. In one corner is the strange case of the really, really rich old guy who, it turns out, is a racist. Donald Sterling, billionaire owner of the Los Angeles Clippers professional basketball team, was found to have made some really repugnant racist remarks to his personal assistant. How was he “found” to have done that? Well, turns out his personal assistant, who is 50 years his junior and used to be his mistress, tape recorded many of his conversations and then released some of them to the entertainment show “TMZ.” Yep, I was thinking the same thing: class act! And, in the other corner, is an opinion piece on the website Chalkbeat.org, in which Dr. Alphonzo Rodriguez, doctorate, comes within inches of accusing the new Jeffco School board president of being a racist. Apparently, at an April 3 study session, (and, by the way, I’m going to quote the article in the interest of accuracy) “Witt is on record as saying during a presentation by Ray & Associates regarding the attributes of a new Superintendent
that he, ‘Was not interested in diversity.’” Further, “board members Lesley Dahlkemper and Jill Fellman requested that a bullet point about valuing diversity be included on a promotional flier recruiters would use to solicit applicants. Board President Ken Witt said he didn’t believe the flier needed to include that copy because cultural sensitivity should be expected of any candidate.” For that, Dr. Rodriguez called Mr. Witt’s comments “prejudiced,” accused he and other Board members of “disenfranchising our diverse student population,” and worried that our “reputation as a district (would) be viewed as racist and having no compassion.” We’ve come a long way, as a society,
since slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow. Are we all the way there? Are we at a point yet where all God’s children are viewed on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin? No, we’re not My best friend from high school, the grandson of Japanese immigrants, recounts how he was subject to awful racist verbal abuse after the Virginia Tech massacre a couple years back (perpetrated by an Asian man). So, no, we’re not there. But, for the most part, I think we are at a point where the majority of people recognize just how abhorrent racism is That’s why Donald Sterling was run out of Los Angeles in a, er, New York minute. And that’s why the charge of racism should be reserved for actual, honest-togosh examples of racism. Is it really so outlandish to say that cultural sensitivity should be expected of candidates? And, honestly, the list of attributes that describe a good candidate for superintendent is as long as my forearm — I would be surprised if there are 30 people in the whole country who qualify (and even more surprised if more than five of them are willing to take the salary). I think there are higher
priorities than checking off another box on the demographic profile. Actual racism is foul and moronic, but, sadly, there will always be morons. And, sometimes, there are simply anachronisms: sad men and women living in an age that has passed them by and with, at best, a tenuous grasp of reality, easily manipulated by cheap courtesans. Not worth our hate — just our pity. However, specious charges of racism where none exists does real harm to the cause of equality, also. It betrays a weakness of actual argument, desensitizes people to actual racism, and is the rhetorical equivalent of yelling “shut up!” Policy disagreements aren’t necessarily because of character flaws — if you can’t make your case without impugning the character of someone with whom you disagree, then maybe your case isn’t worth making.

Remembering mothers on their day It’s that time again! Time to honor our mothers who are with us and remember those who are seated close to God so blessings can be showered upon life’s treasures – our own mother. Some years ago, when author-comedian Erma Bombeck was still with us she gave us this treasure about mothers. It’s priceless and I want to share it with you. “When God Created Mothers” When the good Lord was creating mothers He was into His sixth day of “overtime” when the angel appeared and said, “You’re doing a lot of fiddling around on this one.” And the Lord said, “Have you read the specs on this order?” She has to be completely washable, but not plastic; Have 180 moveable parts ... all replaceable; Run on black coffee and leftovers; Have a lap that disappears when she stands up; a kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love affair. And six pairs of hands; The angel shook her head slowly and said, “Six pairs of hands…no way.” “It’s not the hands that are causing me problems,” said the Lord. “It’s the three
pairs of eyes that mothers have to have.” “That’s on the standard model?” asked the angel. The Lord nodded. “One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, “what are you kids doing in there?” when she already knows. Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn’t but what she has to know, and of course the ones here in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and say, “I understand and I love You” without so much as uttering a word. “Lord,” said the angel, touching His sleeve gently, “Come to bed. Tomorrow…” “I can’t,” said the Lord, “I’m so close to creating something so close to myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick…can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger…and can get a nine year-old to stand under a shower.”
The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly. “It’s too soft,” she sighed. “But tough!” said the Lord excitedly. “You cannot imagine what this mother can do or endure.” “Can it think?” “Not only think but it can reason and compromise,” said the Creator. Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the check. “There’s a leak,” she pronounced. “I told You, You were trying to put too much into this model.” “It’s not a leak,” said the Lord, “it’s a tear.” “What’s it for?” “It’s for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness and
pride.” “You are a genius,” said the angel. The Lord looked somber, “I didn’t put it there.” Quote of the Week “Happy Mother’s Day” Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Kudos to student I read Tammy Kranz’s article in the April 24, 2014, of the Northglenn Thornton Sentinel that featured Amelia Atencio and the dedicated accomplishments of this young lady that led to her nomination for a Boettcher Scholarship. Her article was well written and documented. She represented Amelia as a young lady whose goal is to excel and
build a career-minded future that would allow her to continue in the manner that led up to her being awarded the Boettcher Scholarship. To Amelia Atencio, my very best wishes to a young lady who will excel and become a tremendous asset to her chosen profession. Leonard Solano Jr. Federal Heights

‘Lyle the Crocodile’ waddles into Arvada Center By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com The key to children’s theater is to just tell the story, and let the children come to it in their own way. That’s the guide that the actors are bringing to the season’s production of “Lyle the Crocodile,” a comedic romp filled with laughter and music. Based on Bernard Waber’s children’s favorites, “The House on East 88th” and “Lyle, Lyle Crocodile,” “Lyle” was adapted for the stage by Kevin Kling with music by Richard Gray. It is directed by Billie McBride. The show will be running at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through May 23. Performances are at 10 a.m. and noon on Tuesdays through Fridays, and some Saturdays at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. “The show is incredibly fun and energetic,” said Melissa Swift-Sawyer, who plays six different characters. “It’s a happy little show about a crocodile that turns up in a family’s bathtub and turns their lives upside down.” Lyle
IF YOU GO WHAT: Lyle the Crocodile WHERE: Arvada Center 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada WHEN: Through May 23. 10 a.m. and noon - Tuesdays - Fridays, 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. - some Saturdays COST: $8 to $10 INFORMATION: 720-898-7200 or www.arvadacenter.org (Parker Redford) throws the Primm family into chaos when he mysteriously shows up in their home, and immediately starts changing those around him with his singing and dancing. The Primm’s neighbor, Mr. Grumps (Daniel Langhoff), is less than pleased with the new resident, and try to lock the reptile in the zoo. It’s up to the Primms to save their new friend from captivity. The characters include Hector (Michael Bouchard), Joshua (Sarah Grover), Mrs. Primm (Emma C. Martin), Miss Nitpicker (Boni McIntyre), Mr. Primm (Brian Murray), and Moving Man (Andrew Russell). For some of the cast this is the first taste of
children’s theater, and for others like SwiftSawyer, introducing children to the stage has been a passion for many years. “This is my first stab at children’s theater and it’s been great,” said McIntyre. “Watching their faces light up as the show goes along is just fantastic.” Redford said that the role of Lyle is a challenging one, since he doesn’t speak or make any sounds. Instead he has to rely on facial expressions and body movement to convey what he’s thinking. “Lyle is the nicest character you’re going to see,” he said. “When he meets someone, he sees their real heart. I think he offers the kids a real lesson because Lyle loves everyone for who they are.” Swift-Sawyer, McIntyre and Parker all raved about the quality of the costumes in the production, noting that the bulk of them were designed almost straight out of the books. For everyone involved, one of the best parts of being in children’s theaters are the “tech talks” that the cast gets to have with the audience after the show. “They ask some fantastic and are so smart,” Redford said. “You really can’t play down to them, because they notice everything.” Swift-Sawyer said that theater is a great experience for children because it’s a great outlet, especially for the shy children who have a hard time speaking up. “In this age of electronic entertainment, it’s important that kids have the experience of live entertainment,” McIntyre said. “And I get to dance with a crocodile — you can’t beat that.” For more information, call 720-8987200 or visit www. arvadacenter.org.
The Colorado Symphony Orchestra, the bastion of classical taste and the guardian of musical tradition, is encouraging patrons to bring pot to the party during Classically Cannabis: The High Note Series, which marks a growing partnership between the CSO and the burgeoning cannabis industry in Colorado. Clever those symphony folks, who, for this series, seem to be swapping black tie for Rasta wear. Ganja! The High Note Series will be at The Space Gallery, 400 Santa Fe Drive, and all proceeds will benefit the Colorado Symphony. Classically Cannabis themes include Pan American Highway on May 23, Mississippi Blues Highway on July 18 and Summer Monsoon on Aug. 15. The series will culminate with a Red Rocks concert on Sept. 13; details to be announced soon. Note that the consumption of cannabis at Red Rocks is prohibited by law. “This partnership is part of an overall effort to reach out to every segment of our community,” said Jerome H. Kern, the Colorado Symphony’s CEO and, with Mary Rossick Kern, co-chair of its board of trustees. “Like the Colorado Symphony, the cannabis industry is entrepreneurial, innovative and responsive to the people of Colorado. These businesses have expressed a willingness to support the Colorado Symphony’s mission. Our doors are open to any legal, legitimate business that wants to help.” Since the symphony announced this cutting-edge musical series last week, spokeswoman Laura Bond says, “We’ve been pleased and energized by the response so far. … We’ve heard from people in Los Angeles, Australia, all over the country and the world. People recognize that this is a bold move, not without risks, and most have applauded the effort.”

Tin Cup II opens
Cindy Jones, the affable owner of the Tin Cup restaurant at Aurora Hills Golf Club, has stretched her spatula to add the eatery at Fitzsimons Golf Course to her culinary resume. Jones, who officially took over the Fitz restaurant in January, has been sprucing up the golfers’ 19th hole and has brought the Tin Cup’s breakfast and lunch menus to the new place. The Tin Cup, which for my money is the best public golf course restaurant in Aurora, features homemade breakfast burritos as well as house-fried tortilla chips and house-made salsa, with several grab and go items for golfers on their way to the next hole. Jones also hired Rose Decker, who famously worked at the long-gone Plainsman in Aurora for 20 years, as the manager at the newly named Tin Cup II. “(Decker) is such a go-getter and makes everyone feel so welcomed,” Jones said. “We’re getting great feedback from everyone and we have very reasonable prices, and people are coming from the hospitals and (other office buildings in) that area to eat. We also have to-go menus for (local workers) to call in: 303-340-

FRACKING AND policy Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” is a controversial method of extracting previously unavailable oil and gas reserves from the ground by fracturing rock by injecting pressurized fluids. Proponents claim that it opens up vast amounts of natural gas within the United States and could play a key role in the United States gaining energy independence within the not too distant future. Opponents claim that the chemicals used in fracking represent a significant environmental risk to ground water and other elements of the environment. Join Active Minds from 1:45-3:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 21, as we explore the risks and benefits of fracking and put it into the broader context of U.S. Energy Policy.

County to open family services satellite office Northglenn site to house new Kinship Support Team By Tammy Kranz tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Adams County Children and Family Services will open a satellite location in Northglenn. The Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved a five-year lease agreement for the office space during its April 28 regular meeting. The county will lease 4,992 square feet
of space at 11990 Grant St. Suite 216. According to the lease agreement, the county will pay $8,944 monthly rent for the first year; $9,152 monthly rate the second year; $9,360 monthly the third year; $9,568 the fourth year and $9,776 monthly the fifth year. The first month’s rent in June 2014 will be free. “Our new location will have easy access by car because it’s located right off I-25 and 120th and ample parking and accessible public transportation with a bus stop right in front of the building,” said Monica Sorenson, client services manager with Children and Family Services. “This satellite location of the Children and Family
Center will provide families with a friendly, comfortable, supportive and neutral setting that will allow them to meet with Adams County staff and other professionals to routinely discuss their involvement with child welfare through our Family Team Meetings.” She explained that Family Team Meeting (FTM) process is one that allows parents, family members, children/youth, ACHSD staff, service providers, professionals and other community support people to gather and engage in discussion that creates goals and opportunities to strengthen and support children and their family. “We anticipate holding at least 3,000
Family Team Meetings per year at this new location,” Sorenson said. The satellite location will have five fulltime FTM facilitators, two part-time contracted facilitators and three FTM support staff during the hours of 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. The satellite site will also house the newly created Kinship Support Team, which consists of three full-time caseworkers and one full-time family advocate. This team provides up front services and ongoing case management to kinship caregivers of children involved with the county, Sorenson said.

March 19 during the half-time show at a Denver Nuggets game. Twelve hours later, he received some other life-changing news. He was accepted into the USAF Academy. “This was a tough decision,” he said. “I was never expecting to get both of them.” Only only about 1,000 of 12,000 applicants are accepted into the Academy. As part of the application process, Ortiz was interviewed by U.S. Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet and U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter. Ortiz had about three weeks to decide if he wanted to enroll as a student at a college or enroll in the Academy as a cadet. He noted that the college route would have been easier, plus he’d have his weekends free. The Academy meant the hardest four years of his life, he said, with military training and rigorous classes. He picked the path that he said would offer him better job opportunities. “You have the best chance to be a pilot if you go to the Academy,” he said. Ortiz has his sight set on the cockpit of an F-22 Raptor.
Earning a diploma & college credits
Alicia Juarez and Danielle Aalders are the other Daniels Fund recipients. Juarez, who is the valedictorian for Academy High School, plans to study biology at Denver University then go to medical school. Managing her time has been challenging, she said, she attends classes at high school and Front Range Community College and worked up to 30 hours a week at a pizzeria. Most days she is busy from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. Although this packed schedule could stress some students, Juarez said it helps her keep her mind off her worries. “When I go to school or go to work, that’s where my stress goes away because that’s what I’m focused on,” she said. Aalders plans to major in clinical psychology and have a double minor in criminology and music at Regis University. This month she will receive both her high school diploma from Mapleton Early College and an associate in arts degree from Front Range Community College.

Before enrolling in the program, Aalders was set on going to Julliard. However, Aalders, who sings and plays piano, said the school was not a right fit for her because it is more classical in style.
MESA students like to give back
Two high-achieving students at Mapleton Expeditionary School of the Arts (MESA) praise the school for its efforts to give back to the community. Amelia Atencio, who is MESA’s valedictorian, won the Boettcher Scholarship. This scholarship provides her with a quarter of a million dollars, essentially a fullride to any four-year institute in Colorado. Only 40 students receive this scholarship annually. Atencio plans on spending that money at Colorado College in Colorado Springs and majoring in education. She said she found out while in high school that she

teach in a district like Mapleton one day.” It was important for DeShawn Howard to pick a school that would help him become a leader. He said this is why he chose to study at Regis University, where he will determine which career path to take — practicing law, teaching or being a psychologist. Howard won a Blue & Gold Award, which provides him $32,000 over four years at Regis. During his time in high school, he said he enjoyed giving back to the community by participating in MESA’s community service days. “I feel like it was taxpayer’s money going toward our education so we should give something back,” he said.

Tuition bill sponsor blasts colleague after defeat Salazar rips fellow Adams County Democrat over her vote on bill By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A sponsor of a bill to ease tuition costs for American Indian college students accused a fellow Adams County Democrat of being “politically motivated” in her deciding vote to kill the legislation. Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, blasted Sen. Mary Hodge, D-Brighton, for voting against the bill during a Senate ApproReport priations Committee hearing on April 29. Hodge’s vote caused the bill to fail by a single vote, preventing it from being voted on by the full Senate. “I’m extremely disappointed in my senator, Sen. Hodge, who overlaps my district, because she was the deciding vote on killing it,” Salazar told Colorado Community Media. “And I think the community demands answers and the community should get answers.” But Hodge said her vote on the bill was nothing personal and that it had everything to do with the cost to the state. “We have a lot of priorities, and we have to make tough choices sometimes,” Hodge said. Salazar’s bill would have allowed out-of-state Ameri-
Capitol
can Indian students to attend Colorado state colleges and universities at in-state tuition rates. House Bill 1124 would have applied to any student, regardless of where they reside in the country, so long as they are a member of one of the 48 federally-recognized Indian tribes with historical ties to Colorado. The bill had passed the House with Republican support. Salazar said he was particularly upset because he found out about the bill’s demise as he was speaking to an American Indian group that was visiting the Capitol. After informing the group that the bill had died, Salazar said the audience reacted with “astonishment.” “This was the feel-good bill of the year … and I think there needs to be answers as to why this bill was killed,” Salazar said. “I want to hear why Mary Hodge killed this bill.” Salazar said Hodge’s opposition to the bill stems from his “staunch opposition” to a bill of Hodge’s that died in the House earlier in the month. Hodge was a co-sponsor of Senate Bill 93, which clarified that oil pipeline companies could acquire rights-ofway by eminent domain. But Hodge said that “accusation is just silly” because she wasn’t a primary sponsor of that legislation. Hodge did co-sponsor the bill, but did not carry it through the committee process. Hodge said Salazar’s bill cost too much. The bill would have increased state expenditures by at least $668,000 annually. But the biggest hit would have been to colleges and universities, which would have seen their revenues decrease by $5.3 million annually, had the bill passed. “The bill would have taken $5 million from very strapped colleges and universities,” she said.
Salazar considered the cost earlier and had once thought of scaling back the legislation to apply only to incoming students. But Salazar said he didn’t end up doing that because it was his understanding that the bill was going to be funded in its original form. Salazar said he will bring the bill back next year. The bill’s Senate sponsor shared Salazar’s disappointment over the bill’s defeat, but she hopes that Salazar learns not to take legislative losses so personally. “One of the things you need to learn is you carry them, you don’t marry them,” said Sen. Lois Tochtrop, D-Thornton.

Medical marijuana not approved for PTSD Two Democrats join Republicans in killing bill, 6-5, in committee By Vic Vela
vvela@colorado communitymedia.com A bill that would have allowed marijuana to be used as a treatment option for post-traumatic stress disorder failed in a House committee on April 28. House Bill 1364 would have added PTSD to a list of eight other conditions that qualify sufferers for medical marijuana treatment. Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, a bill sponsor, argued that those with PTSD should be given the option to consult with doctors as to whether medical pot is a viable treatment option for their condition. That’s better practice than sufferers having to resort to figuring out their best pot pathway through retail pot shop clerks, he said. “Should it be the bud-tenders on Colfax or the doctors at Kaiser?” Singer asked the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee. Colorado voters, through the 2000 passage of Amendment 20, approved eight conditions that qualify for medical pot treatment, including cancer,
glaucoma and AIDS. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has the ability to add other conditions to that list, but it has not done so since Amendment 20 passed. Several witnesses testified that marijuana has helped alleviate their PTSD symptoms, including military veterans who served in conflicts and wars, ranging from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan. “Cannabis made it to where I don’t have to take any of these prescription drugs,” testified Sean Azzariti, an Iraq War veteran. “It saved my life.” Singer said that it should be up to doctors to decide what is best for their patients and cited high suicide rates among veterans as reason enough to keep all treatment options open. “I don’t think that every veteran who commits suicide … could have used medical marijuana and it would have saved their life. I don’t believe that for a second,” Singer said. “But I do believe that some of them might have been able to use this as a tool in their toolbox to have that conversation with their doctor to make the right decisions for them.” Key opposition testimony came from Dr. Larry Wolk, CDPHE’s chief medical officer. Wolk said that CDPHE already has a process in place that allows the department to add health conditions to
the medical marijuana list. Wolk said the department has considered the addition of PTSD to the list twice before and rejected it both times. Wolk also said that there isn’t enough research to show that marijuana is an effective treatment for H PTSD. YOUTTS Some committee members had leI ENT PERM gal concerns over the bill, with some RESID N O N wondering whether the legislation R GOING STRONG IN ENT O would be akin to lawmakers taking it RESID upon themselves to changing Amendment 20 language in the state Constitution. Share the hunting experience you enjoy with your kids— “I don’t always think the right decifor less.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF ApRil 28, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You might be tempted to be more assertive when dealing with a job-related matter. But a carefully measured approach works best at getting the cooperation you’re looking for. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) While others urge you to act now, you instinctively recognize that a move at this time is not in your best interests. You should know when to do so by week’s end. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A busy schedule keeps you on the move for much of the week. But things ease up by the time the weekend arrives, allowing you to reconnect with family and friends.

top dogs Bulldogs baseball are league champs By Michelle Boyer The Brighton Bulldogs baseball team clinched the East Metro League Championship last week, when they sneaked by Northglenn for a 3-1 win. Brighton finished 14-5 overall and 9-0 in league play. The team captured the EMAC title also in 2012. Northglenn took the title last season. “The win against Northglenn felt good, but we’re trying to win much more than the EMAC title,” Cole DeShazer, Bulldog’s first baseman said. “I really don’t care what seed we get. I know a lot of the guys don’t care either. The seed is just the number it doesn’t define the team one bit. The team that is most successful in the playoffs is the team that’s the most heated. We’re getting hot, and we’re only getting started.” DeShazer said playing first base is defi-
nitely his favorite position. “I’ve played first base since I was 10, so I’m definitely more comfortable in my territory out there,” he said. “I honestly can’t tell you how long I’ve been playing baseball. It’s something I’ve done for as long as I can remember and I can only hope that I’ll get to keep giving to the game for the rest of my life. It’s something I love, and it has given so much to me.” DeShazer will be a two-year varsity letterman. Last year he made all conference first team academics. Recently, the senior also signed to play baseball with Hastings College in Hastings, Neb. in the fall. “It puts me in the best situation both personally, and financially to go there,” he said. “I would be in an atmosphere where I could adapt to living on my own easily and between baseball and academics, my scholarships helped seal the deal.” DeShazer will double major in political science and psychology. State baseball seeding comes out Wednesday, May 7.

Hendon holds the record 40 shutouts and counting for Green Mountain goalie
LAKEWOOD - Lindsey Hendon is stingy — but in a good way. Hendon is historically stingy in fact, particularly when it comes to giving up goals, as the Green Mountain senior goaltender just became the Colorado state record holder when she recorded her 40th career save in a 10-0 victory over Colorado Springs Christian Tuesday at Lakewood Memorial Field. Hendon has 55 wins over her illustrious career with the Rams, with 40 of those — and counting — coming as donuts for her opponents. While CHSAA doesn’t officially keep
soccer statistics, on their website they credit Overland’s Lisa Griffin as the previous record holder of 39. Griffin graduated after the 1988-89 season. Hendon has made 221 saves in her career which translates to a ridiculous 0.631 goals-against average. Ten of her 40 shutout have come this season while 11 came as a junior, 10 as a sophomore and even as a freshman Hendon recorded nine shutout victories. This season, Hendon and her Green Mountain teammates earned a No. 12 seed and will host No. 21 Longmont (9-5-1, 3-31 in league) on Wednesday. The Rams (12-2-1, 5-1-1 in league) are looked at as a dark horse who could make some noise in the state tournament. And why shouldn’t they be? They have one of the greatest goalies in the history of Colorado high school soccer. Hendon is an incredible 55-6-6 over her career and is a Iowa State recruit.
much to the dismay of coach Hugo Garcia. “They just played a good game against us and got the job done,” Garcia said. “We just couldn’t get the hits when we had the guys on the bases. It was just a tough loss, our first in the league. We will just have to rebound and I do think we have the players who can do it.” Northglenn scored its first run in the second inning. Following the inning’s first out, Miguel Mendoza doubled and would score on a following triple by Aldo Quezada. Yet Quezada would be stranded on the base as Manual Rivera and Dalton Hines would both ground out on infield plays. A two run effort by Northglenn in the fourth inning would tie the score, 3-3, bringing out a good feeling among the home standing fans. Joe Ernst opened the inning with a single and would reach second two batters later when Quezada was hit by a pitch. Rivera would single to load the bases and Hines would single thus driving home Ernst and Quezada. Ben Thompson had started on the mound for Northglenn. However, he was replaced by Quezada in the fourth. Quezada was replaced in the sixth, following an opening inning double Westy’s Lorenzo, by the Warriors Adam Adams. Just two batters later, Adams was saddled with the loss as Lorenzo was driven home by Fredrickson.
“It was a devastating loss as we certainly wanted to win big before the playoffs,” said (NG Mendoza). “They played hard against us. We made a lot of mental errors out there we couldn’t come back from them. We needed to stay focused and today we just couldn’t seem to do it. We left to many of our guys on base. It certainly was one of our downfalls.” As it turned out, it was not the best of weeks for Northglenn. The Norse were then defeated by Brighton, 3-1, on May 2, and then by Rocky Mountain, 11-0, May 3.

Westy takes win at the diamond By Scott Stocker There is little doubt that Westminster’s Sean Frederickson was at the right “peak” at the right time last Thursday as the Warriors faced Northglenn in a crucial 5A/4A East Metro League baseball game. For that matter, so was Razzo Vigil. Frederickson came through with the game winning hit as Westminster handed Northglenn its first league loss of the season, 4-3. The hit came in the sixth inning which drove in Bernardo Lorenzo. Lorenzo had started the inning off with a double and was able to reach third on a sacrifice bunt by John Rule. Northglenn dropped to 7-1 in the league and 10-7 overall while Westminster improved to 7-2 in the league and 11-8 overall. “This is the first time we have beaten Northglenn in four years,” said Frederickson. “We just played a solid game throughout and didn’t let them get any significant runs when they did get their guys on base. It was a good win for sure.” Indeed a good win for Westminster and coach Kelly Kizer. “We were just able to get the job done,” Kizer said. “Kody (Riebschlager) pitched a solid game, and he had a lot of help in the outfield for us to pull this one out. He was able to have their hitters keep the ball in play and we just had that good defensive
effort behind us.” No doubt Riebschlager was pleased by, not only his effort on the mound, but with the support of his fellow teammates. “I just wanted to go out hard and play the best I could,” Riebschlager said. “Northglenn is a good team and I’m glad our guys were able to come through when we needed it the most.” Westminster jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the second inning thanks in large part to Vigil’s two RBI’s. Following a strikeout by Jason Kaczor, Donnie Olguin walked and would quickly steal second base. Lorenzo walked and was advanced to second when Rule was hit by a pitch that loaded the bases. The walks continued as Frederickson was walked thus bringing home Olguin for the game’s first run. Westminster made it 3-0 as Vigil would single thus driving home Rule and Fredrickson for the Warriors early lead. “This was just one we had to win,” Vigil said. “A solid third inning was certainly a key for us and getting a couple of RBI’s was good, too. We just wanted to go home with a good win under our belts and this certainly was one.” Northglenn could only hope the Norse could come through when they needed the runs the most. But it just never happened. They stranded six runners on the bases,

Cutthroats duel with reigning champ Denver’s ‘other’ hockey team in President’s Cup Finals By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ coloradocommunity media.com DENVER — Colorado’s hockey team is playing for the championship. No, not those guys, the Denver Cutthroats, who are right in the middle of the President’s Cup Finals against the reigning champion Allen Americans. After the Cutthroats and the Americans split the first two games of the Central Hockey League series at the Denver Coliseum, the action was bound for Texas where the teams will play games 3, 4 and 5. (Results of games in Texas were not available before press time.)

But the Cutthroats, without Gale, came charging back to take a 3-2 lead. Gale, who not only had four goals in Game 1, but seven in his previous two games, was injured early in the action and never returned. Gale was checked into the boards in the first period and needed to be helped off the ice.
Despite losing their best player A.J. Gale to injury, the Cutthroats’ crowd tried to lift their team Saturday at the Denver Coliseum. The Cutthroats were beat 5-4 in overtime. Photo by Daniel Williams Head coach Derek Armstrong said Gale sustained a lower body injury and was hospitalized. No penalty was called on the hit, but give credit to the Cutthroats for finding a way to force
overtime at 4-4. The Americans cashed in just two minutes into the second overtime when Allen forward Jamie Schaafsma beat Denver goalie Kent Patterson with a beautiful
