People encouraged to get flu shots

Giving the gift of words

Department of Health reports that flu hospilizations triple

By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com As cases of influenza hospitalizations increases rapidly, medical experts say it is not too late to get the flu vaccine.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment released its Flu Report, which revealed that a cumulative of 748 people, 73 in Adams County, were hospitalized as of Jan. 4, which is up from 263 as of Dec. 21.

Susan Mazula, a nurse with North Suburban Medical Center, said the vaccine is given through March, and once it is given it takes about two weeks for the body to develop the antibodies.

“We are currently seeing lots of influenza cases coming into the emergency room and some are sick enough that they need to be hospitalized,” she said.

“The vaccine this year is a pretty good match for the virus that is going around, so please, get immunized.”

The flu is spread by either direct or indirect transmissions.

The virus is found in the nasal and oral secretion, Mazula said, and when a person sneezes or coughs, the secretion can travel as far as three feet.

“If someone sick coughs directly onto your face, the virus will be absorbed through your mucus membranes (eyes, nose or mouth) — this is called direct transmission,” she said.

“But if you touch a surface that someone just coughed on, or a moist tissue where someone coughed on it — the virus gets on your hands and if you touch your eyes, nose, mouth, then you get sick — this is called indirect transmission.”

If someone cannot or does not want to get the vaccination, Mazula advises people to wash their hands or use hand sanitizer to kill germs, keep your hands from your face and stay away from people who have a fever and cough.

Symptoms last between three and seven days and include fever, cough, headache, muscle aches, runny nose and sore throat.

“Once symptoms begin, the sooner you see your doctor the sooner you can get started on anti-viral medication,” Mazula said.

“These medications will help decrease the severity of the symptoms and help you feel better quicker (than if you take no medication).”

She said people should go to the emergency room if they start to have breathing problems or develop other severe symptoms.

Hickenlooper: State of state is strong Governor touts economic numbers during annual address.

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper sounded like a man running for re-election during his annual State of the State address inside the Capitol on Jan. 9, as he touted Colorado’s economic rebound and called on lawmakers to “ignore divisive politics.”

The governor sounded themes of unity throughout his speech, but particularly when he lauded Coloradans’ resilience during times of tragedy last year — which led to one of the most enthusiastically-received lines of the day.

“Colorado does not shutdown. Colorado does not quit. Colorado does not break,” he said, to a standing ovation inside the House chamber, where all 100 state lawmakers were gathered.

Hickenlooper hyped Colorado as a magnet for businesses and a state where job numbers continue to grow. And, for the most part, he stayed away from contentious issues that dominated the Legislature last year.

While Democrats walked away glow-

ingly from the governor’s speech, many Republicans voiced a “wait and see” response.

“Well it felt good, but let’s see if those feelings continue for the rest of the year,” said Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock.

“When he talked about not wanting parties to lock down, I hope he holds to that with his own party.”

Much of the governor’s speech focused Printed on recycled newsprint. on the state’s improving economic numPlease recycle this copy. bers. Hickenlooper said that the state has experienced a significant rebound in job numbers since 2010, when the state was ranked 40th in the nation in job growth.

Now, the state ranks fourth in that category, has added 170,000 jobs over the last

few years, and has seen its unemployment rate drop from 9 percent in 2010, to its current rate of 6.5 percent.

“But let’s be clear,” the governor cautioned, “the unemployment rate is not low enough, and all of us share a commitment to keep a statewide focus on this issue.”

The state’s improving economy has also allowed lawmakers to work with more budget reserves than it had in recent years, which Hickenlooper said has been important when natural disasters have struck.

“The single most critical factor in Colorado being able to stay open for business throughout hell fires and high waters has been reserves,” he said.

Hickenlooper also talked about new business that lawmakers will attend to this session. They included legislation that seeks to cap college tuition rate hikes and provide more financial aid for students, a part of the speech that received a standing ovation from both sides of the aisle.

The governor also talked about other priorities, such as improving technology to reduce wait times at Department of Motor Vehicles offices; expanding Internet access across rural areas; and extending job-creation tax credits for businesses.

The governor — who is up for re-election in November — stayed away from controversy. His only mention of gun laws that were placed into law last year were done so in a way that addressed the mental health aspect of gun tragedies, while touting recent laws that created more mental health services.

On oil and gas industry regulations, Hickenlooper — a former geologist and a friend of the industry — said that it’s important to recognize that oil and gas companies contribute billions of dollars to the state economy. At the same, industry leadState continues on Page 18

Hope springs eternal on the hill

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Opening day in baseball is the best time to be a Cubs fan.

There’s so much promise. It’s a new season. And every team is tied for first place.

It’s just too bad the Cubs have to, you know, actually play baseball. As the season goes on, fans’ frustration mounts. And by the end of year, even the diehards are tired, grumpy and over it.

I recently asked a fellow Cubs fan if that reminds him of anything.

“In true Cubs fan fashion, I put a post up on Facebook the other day, talking about how optimistic I was coming into the legislative session, hopeful that we are going to have an opportunity to create some good public policy for the people of Colorado,” Rep. Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, said.

“Like Cubs fans in years past, I’ve been very disappointed toward the end of the season.

Lets hope I’m not disappointed by the end of this legislative season.”

Boy howdy, were Republicans “disappointed” over what Democrats accomplished last year: Election reform and rural renewable energy mandate increases and attempts to overhaul the school finance system.

Oh, and gun control. Oh boy. Republicans may have gotten all Genghis Khan over some bills, but they promised the “Wrath of

Kahn” after Democrats created legislation that led to universal background checks on gun sales and limited the amount of rounds that gun magazines can hold.

So, Democrats, on the heels of their huge wins last session, must be riding high as work begins at the Capitol this year, right, Rep. Max Tyler of Lakewood?

“To be honest I came into it a little grumpy.”

Oh. Nevermind.

“The grumpiness came from the summer, whether it was created by nature or by the battles over the recalls,” Tyler said. “It was more like a pretty difficult campaign season over the summer.”

Tyler did say that the grumpiness subsided as he got back to work inside the Capitol and that he’s energized about the upcoming session. And every lawmaker will tell you that they’re optimistic and looking forward to getting back to work.

But, clearly the polarizing battles from last session, followed by the recall elections in the fall, still weigh in the back of lawmakers’ minds as they start work this year.

And what about all the long hours they put in last year? Floor debates and committee hearings lasted FOR-EVER. Seriously, the greatest runners in Kenya looked at last year’s legislative session and said, “I won’t no part of that marathon.”

Lawmakers had to have woken up on the first day of the session on Wednesday Jan. 8, thinking to themselves, “Am I really looking forward to another round of committee hearings that don’t end until one in the morning?”

“I don’t mind the 1 a.m. mornings,” said Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont. “When you said, ‘Waking up on Wednesday,’ it’s like, ‘I went to bed?’”

In other words, Singer was lucky to get any sleep last session. But he’ll probably get a little more rest this time. Yes, there will be fights over some old battles and there will be new and improved controversy this time around. But I don’t see this year’s session being as maddening as last year’s was.

“In most sessions you’re going to get two or three meaty, weightier issues,” Waller said. “Last year, I think we saw 15. But I don’t think we’ll see that this year.”

Singer doesn’t either. And he’s not surprised by what he’s hearing from leaders of both parties, as the current session gets

underway: Democrats wanting to move on from what happened last year and Republicans looking to go to battle on some of those familiar issues.

“What do you expect? You expect the majority to talk about coming together and you expect the minority to underline those differences that keep us apart for the next election cycle,” Singer said.

So, there will be fights and there will old battles revisited. But it sounds like lawmakers actually may be able get home before Letterman comes on TV, at least some of the time.

“Everybody said, ‘Yeah it was so crazy,’” said Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, who was a freshman last year. “But how do I know? I thought this is how we always do this. But the idea of not being here from 7 in the morning to 10 at night every day. Wow, it sounds really intriguing to me.”

Well, that’s a good thing. Because last year was draining for everyone: Lawmakers, their families, reporters ...

“Who cares how draining it was for reporters?” quipped a smiling Waller. “You get no love at all.”

This from the Republican Cubs fan whose team was badly beaten last year.

Brad A. Miller, could cost the district an adazy,’”ditional $90,000 this year. vada, Hired by a 3-2 vote (Ken Witt, Julie w doWilliams, John Newkirk in favor; Lesley ys doDahlkemper and Jill Fellman opposed), m 7 inMiller will represent the board, and be Wow,paid a monthly retainer of $7,500, which

As per Miller’s contract, mak-he will also receive payment for any associated costs incurred by the employment, r re-including mileage, parking, secretarial seru getvices, administrative expense, copying, facsimiles, and travel expenses, paid at cost or fanat his $225 hourly rate. .

The swift hiring came after the board heard about the resignation of Allen Taglora-gart, the executive director of employee chedrelations for the Jefferson County School com.District.

“The district’s attorney resigned, and we weren’t told until a week after his resignation,” said Jeffco Board President Ken Witt in a phone interview. “This created and urgency for us to hire someone. It’s not an unusual event for a board to hire representation.”

An email statement sent by Board Secretary John Newkirk link Taggart’s position, which involved some different tasks but included representation of the board, to the role of Miller who will represent the board solely. Taggart was employed through the end of 2013 and his resignation went into effect Jan. 1.

According to Jeffco Superintendent Cindy Stevenson, the position provides inhouse legal advice to the district and the board, among other legal, administrative, employment management duties.

“This (Miller’s position) is a completely different position,” Stevenson said. “The executive director of employee relations has been a position with the district for a long time, and we had internal legal counsel the last four years, we never had the

board hire a new attorney, it was a shared responsibility.”

Taggart’s position, which cost the district $122,000 to $150,000 annually, is currently vacant, and a new candidate will be recommended to the board Jan. 16.

WESTMINSTER WINDOW

According to Jefferson County School District policy for School Board Governance and Operations, the board can hire separate legal counsel should an occasion — such as an expulsion or teacher dismissal — arise, but generally does not have their own representation.

“It’s very important we do the right things. We had to make sure we have good representation when we make those decisions, and we did what any board would do in making sure we have good representation in the district,” Witt responded after the Jan. 9 board meeting when asked about the $90,000 expense, assuming a new director of employee relations is hired at the current level.

“There are a lot of unanswered questions to discuss,” Boardmember Dahlkemper said. “As a board, we have not had a discussion about (Miller’s) responsibilities on the board or the rationale behind this decision.”

“I want to propose we reopen the process and handle it the right way,” she said in an interview before the Jan. 9 board meeting.

At that meeting, Dahlkemper asked the board to consider having a public discussion surrounding Miller’s employment and contract with the board at a later meeting.

Fellman supported this request, but Witt disapproved of her request, ending the conversation by saying, “Let’s end the distraction; it’s a decision that has been made.”

Dahlkemper and Fellman — both in support of further discussion of Miller’s appointment — said one of them would make a motion at the Jan. 16 meeting to discuss Miller’s hiring.

awoodward@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Jeffco commissioners reviewed the first round of reimbursements, $2.5 million for the controversial Jefferson Parkway, during staff briefings on Jan. 7.

The discussion is per the Jefferson Parkway Public Highway Authority or JPPHA establishing contract which outlines the Advance and Reimbursement agreement between JPPHA (including Arvada and Broomfield) and Jefferson County.

Commissioners combed through 12 items listed for reimbursements but raised their eyebrows at the recommended reimbursement cap at $11 million.

“Right now we’re about $6.2 million contribution wise for reimbursement level between Arvada and Broomfield,” Commissioner Don Rosier said.

“If you include our contribution or reimbursement it only gives us a delta of about $2.2 million, so we’re pushing up against that maximum,” he said. “That may not be a realistic number.”

Kate Newman, deputy county administrator assured commissioners the agreement does not prohibit a modification to the recommended cap. “We have had other costs and I anticipate future costs,” Newman said. “The agreement does allow for amendments so at some point in time we will be adding more and more costs to the agreement for reimbursement.”

In December of last year, JPPHA authorized the reimbursement procedure and organized priority classifications into three parts; right-of-way refunds first, cash second, and in-kind last. The county can receive reimbursements by entering into a concession or through the use of bonds, although currently there are no plans for the use of any bonds or concession agreements have not been met with negotiations

Jeffco Open Space Master Plan 2014 The Board of County Commissioners reviewed the first set of reimbursements for county land donations to the Jefferson Parkway Public Highway Authority for the proposed Jefferson Parkway that will complete the last of the Denver metro beltway. It will start at the Northwest parkway as it runs south passed the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport and along Indian Street until it connects with Highway 93. Courtesy of the Boulder Daily Camera, Jeremy Papasso at this time.

The open space purchase of Section 16 at $5 million was deemed ineligible for reimbursement. The 640-acre parcel sits along Highway 93 at the southwest corner of the Rocky Flats site. Open Space Funds are used for Open Space purposes, said Ralph Schell, County Administrator. The purchase of right-of-way and associated legal fees does not directly benefit Open Space and is therefore not a legitimate expenditure, he said.

“This property was in our open space master plan and it certainly had open space value to the county,” Newman said.

County administrators went back to commissioners this week to verify the $5 million cut.

“I think it’s positive their getting this

stuff memorialized,” Tighe said about the agreement. Future reimbursements include more land acquisitions and the relocation of a visual orientation radar device or VOR that is used to control plane movements coming from the east into DIA. The next round of reimbursements totals an estimated at $10.8 million.

“The financial model that we had been working from kind of contemplated that between the three jurisdictions in total there would be not more than $11 million in reimbursements that were being requested,” Bill Ray, JPPHA interim executive director said.

“Ultimately, I as a staff member have the power to recommend but it’s only up to the elected officials who have the power to decide.”

The Open Space Master Plan for 2014 is available for public review at: jeffco.us/ parks/about/open-space-master-plan. The plan went before the Open Space Advisory Committee for endorsement on Thursday, Jan. 9, and will head to the Jefferson County board of commissioners.

Trying to make college more affordable Legislation proposes tuition cap, more financial aid funding

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Democratic state lawmakers have drafted legislation aimed at making college a little less expensive.

Last week, the College Affordability Act became the first bill to be introduced in the Senate this legReport islative session.

The bill would cap college tuition rate increases, and would make more money available for students seeking financial aid.

Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, a bill sponsor, said the legislation is about “making sure every kid who graduates in Colorado — with the skills and ability and the grades — has access to higher education.”

“I really think where we’ve gone the last few years, with the incredible tuition increases that we’ve seen, is a lot the institu-

Capitol

tions having not just priced at-risk students out, but also pricing out a lot of our middle class students, even with getting loans and financial aid,” Kerr said.

Under current law, colleges and universities can increase tuition 9 percent annually. Senate Bill 1 would cap tuition increases for undergraduate students at 6 percent.

Kerr, who serves as chairman of the Senate’s Education Committee, said that state budget cuts in higher education are partly to blame for skyrocketing tuition costs in recent years.

“The years that we really slashed funding to higher education are the years that tuition really increased quite a bit,” he said.

The bill would increase higher education funding by more than $100 million. That’s in addition to whatever funds are appropriated through the annual budget. Most of that money would go to colleges and universities, by way of the College Opportunity Fund, which provides tuition stipends for undergraduate students.

The rest of the funding, $40 million worth, would go to various financial aid programs.

The bill is a priority for Senate Democrats and Gov. John Hickenlooper.

Much of Senate President Morgan Carroll’s speech opening during the first day

of the legislative session focused on Senate Bill 1.

In her remarks, Carroll, an Aurora Democrat, talked about her grandfather’s and her mother’s struggles to afford college. She also shared her own story about having to work multiple jobs after high school so that she could save money to go to college.

“Access to college or trade and technical education changes lives,” Carroll said. “Yet, the opportunities that were there for three generations before me … are now going the wrong way, moving backwards — and college is less affordable now than it was when I was in school.”

The bill puts in statute the $100 million funding request for the Department of Higher Education that Hickenlooper made to the Joint Budget Committee in November.

Typically, education funding is dealt with through the budget process, and not a separate appropriation. Carroll told reporters recently that she wanted a separate bill that includes the cap and Hickenlooper’s funding proposal, because she feels the two are “connected.”

In Hickenlooper’s State of the State speech on Jan. 9, the governor received a standing ovation from both sides of the aisle, when he addressed the measure in his

remarks.

Matt Connelly, the spokesman for Senate Republicans, said Senate leadership is currently studying the bill.

Rep. Polly Lawrence, R-Douglas County, said after the governor’s speech that she is “concerned” about the capping the tuition rate at 6 percent.

“Because in some ways that gives (higher education institutions) permission to raise tuition 6 percent,” she said.

In response, Kerr said it is important for colleges to understand that the 6 percent “is a cap, not a floor.”

Carroll acknowledged that the bill isn’t a total remedy for reining in tuition costs.

“This is reversing a trend,” Carroll said.

“It’s not going to suddenly make college more affordable to all folks.”

Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge, a bill co-sponsor, said the legislation should be considered a jobs bill, in addition to being an education measure.

“We always hear, ‘It’s about jobs. We need to create jobs,’” Jahn said. “You go to the cause and stop trying to put Band-Aids on symptoms. Why are more people not going to college? Well, it’s because people can’t afford it. So if you really want to do something solid for economic develop, let’s get people educated.”

Athletic gym moves into the neighborhood

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@coloradocommunitymedia. com After 10 years in Thornton, owner of DTC Global Athletics Jennifer Ritchlin moved her all-inclusive learning facility to Westminster, in hopes to not only grow her customer base but also provide a place for people young and old to experience the joys of dance, cheer and tumbling. The new location is at 11025 Dover St. # 500 in Westminster.

“We really just outgrew our previous space in Thornton, so now we are excited to be in Westminster,” she said. “We saw a huge growth opportunity in Westminster, a place that is also in need of our services because there is no other dance or cheer facilities within five miles of us.”

DTC students can take a variety of classes in dance, including tap, jazz, ballet and hip hop as well as classes in cheerleading and tumbling. Ritchlin, who grew up dancing, cheering and tumbling, said the new facility now features a full spring cheerleading floor which is a major benefit to not only those in class, but for students on the competitive All Star Cheerleading team.

Program provides therapy within schools

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com Community Reach Center in Adams County is extending services to meet the needs of students in area school districts through the schoolbased therapy program.

The program provides counseling services to students and families directly in the school who are experiencing emotional or behavioral difficulties.

Instead of children and families having to travel to an outpatient facility, therapy sessions are conducted in a private confidential office provided within the school. Currently there are school-based therapy programs in schools within the Adams 12 Five Star School District, Mapleton School District, Adams County School District 14, Brighton 27J School District, Pinnacle Charter School and Front Range Community College Westminster Campus.

Aaron Cordova is the school-based therapy program manager for Adams 12, 27J, FRCC and Pinnacle. He said by providing metal health services within the schools, barriers are removed allowing for easier access

for services needed by families and children.

No longer do families have to drive to an outpatient facility, which for some can be very difficult to accomplish, he added.

“It’s really important for us to meet the needs of families and get them the help they need and because those needs can be met in the school setting, we are able reach more families,” Cordova said.

“Our goal is to hopefully extend the program into even more schools in Adams County and see this program expand.”

Students can utilize the program for a variety of reasons, whether it’s a just a tough morning due to a family argument that day, or a more serious situation like a student living in an abusive environment. Cordova said students who have become withdrawn, disengaged and have fallen behind with their schoolwork can also receive services.

Most services are covered by insurance, including Medicaid and CHP+, but for families that can’t afford the cost, Cordova said the services are covered by other funding sources.

“We have an agreement with the

district to received funds for those families that have no way of paying for the service,” he said. “We also get some state funding. No child will be turned away due to lack of payment, therefore we will see any kid who needs us.”

Stephanie John, a clinical director at Community Reach, said one of the best things about the school-based program is the fact that the students are seen in a comfortable setting, one they are familiar with.

She said the children know the therapist not just because of a therapy session, but because he or she is part of the school culture. By being in the school, John said therapists also have the opportunity to collaborate with teachers.

“Be being integrated into the school therapist are providing a level of support that is very comfortable for the child and the family,” she said.

“No long is there a barrier. Families are provided a service in a welcoming environment. It’s a win for all of us.”

child. To help navigate the choices, Ritchlin offers a free week of unlimited classes to potential students.

“We are the only studio in the state that offers a full free week trial,” she said “I want people to have the opportunity to try every single class if they want to and find that sport or skill that they really love and want to invest more time in.”

Part of Ritchlin’s focus is teaching children and adults skills and technique, but another big focus is creating a family atmosphere within the gym. She said at DTC Global Athletics, everyone is one big family with team bonding events, and for many youngsters, the gym becomes like a second home, a safe place for them to make new friends and grow self-esteem, she added.

“Being in an environment where everyone is welcome and accepted can really do something great for a child’s self-confidence,” Ritchlin said. “We preach all the time about the importance of family and friendship and also how to become better citizens.”

opinions / yours and ours

Well, it was bound to happen This past week Denver International Airport officials formalized their policy on banning marijuana on airport property as well as establishing a set of fines for possession. And as expected, marijuana users cried “foul.” A DIA spokesperson pointed out that marijuana is on the TSA’s prohibited list of items that can be carried as well as stating that the airport’s operations cannot facilitate the transport of marijuana across state lines where it is still illegal.

Intertwined in the explanation is the sheer fact that Federal law treats marijuana as an illegal substance. Thus, the conflict in Colorado’s liberal enabling laws has clashed with Federal law. It was bound to happen!!

A LACK OF VETTING FIRST

This situation is yet another example of the plethora of issues that were not vetted ahead of time when Colorado voters’ gleefully approved first medical marijuana use and then recreational use. All the debate among the Denver City Council on

where a person could and could not smoke recreational marijuana was fundamental in the ill-conceived state vote. The enforcement of such constraints forced the Denver Council to do a 180-degree turn. The horse is out of the barn and the medical marijuana users deserve a resolution to the DIA prohibition.

UNACCEPTABLE POLITICAL TACTICS

Also, this past week we became aware of “Bridge Gate” and our own U.S. Senator Mark Udall’s staffs involvement regarding the number of Colorado health insurance policy holders who lost their coverage be-

cause of Obamacare. Both situations irked me with below the radar “power politics” actions. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie became embroiled in a stupid action by his staff to create traffic jams on the George Washington Bridge leading into Fort Lee. This was in retaliation to the local mayor not supporting Christie in his re-election campaign. Meanwhile, Senator Udall’s staff supposedly put undue pressure on a Colorado Division of Insurance director regarding the number of health insurance policies that had been reported as cancelled due to Obamacare requirements.

The released figure of 250,000 policies is in dispute, but the State Commissioner is sticking to the number. Her appointment as Commissioner is up for consideration at the Legislature this week and I hope that this action does not get politicized with closed door influencing.

YOU GOTTA BELIEVE THEY KNEW

Both “Bridge Gate” and Udall’s Staff’s conduct are suspect in my opinion. You

can’t tell me that New Jersey staffers would launch such a public impact type of action without AT LEAST mentioning it to the governor let alone seek his approval!! And Udall got caught up in Obamacare rhetoric assuring the public just like the President did that policyholders could keep their current health insurance if they wanted to do so. I have always respected Senator Udall while not necessarily agreeing with his political stance on issues. But “where there is smoke there is fire” makes me wonder about the conduct of his staff and his awareness of the alleged political pressure. There are way too many “below the radar” antics in government and I would suggest that the public is beyond being fed up with such conduct. Let’s remember Senator Udall is up for re-election this coming November. He may very well wish that he was not tied to the President on Obamacare. We shall see.

question of the week

Who do you admire in your life?

We asked folks in downtown Golden who it was in their life that they truly admired.

“I’d have to say my dad, just for being there for me when I needed him. And for his leading by example.”

Julian Bull, Golden

“I would have to say my mom, because she’s just so wonderful. She’s been through a lot of stuff, and she’s been strong through it.”

Dorothy Freeman, Wheat Ridge

“One of my friends. She’s just very dedicated, works really hard and when she knows what she wants to do, she just does it.”

Win Chaowalit, Thailand

“I’d have to say you, for walking up and asking.

Nobody’s ever asked before.”

Sheer stupidity Can you believe the sheer arrogance and blatant stupidity of the aides to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie?

It defies common sense to see a group of professional aides to the governor deliberately slow down to a crawl four lanes of the busiest bridge linking New York City with Fort Lee, New Jersey all in the name of a traffic study.

Supposedly this was done as a revenge act by Christie’s aides because the Fort Lee Mayor wouldn’t endorse Governor Christie in last November’s election. Mind you, Christie had an overwhelming surplus of voters support and didn’t even need such outrageous retaliation efforts.

Blatant stupidity It absolutely has to be number one in colossal stupidity and arrogance to bring traffic to a virtual standstill for such shenanigans – for a cause that didn’t need a cause.

And now, several aides including his deputy chief of staff, are desperately trying to mitigate the political harm done to Christie’s intentions to run for president of our country in 2016.

Christie gave a two hour press interview the other day attempting to distance himself and claiming he had no knowledge of any of these dirty tricks.

But it’s almost impossible to not believe he had some knowledge of what was taking place. Thousands of daily commuters use the Washington bridge and untold harm probably came to those who need to use that connecting bridge. How many lives were jeopardized because the ambulances and fire trucks were caught in the four-day upheaval? One can probably discern that numerous law suits will come to bear in the days and months to come.

Worst kind of politics This has to be the ultimate worst political dirty tricks that we’ve heard of. When political figures have to resort to this lowest of the law it’s time to call a halt. Surely the Christie aides should be punished severely

but what laws are on the books that could ever compensate for the harm perpetrated on an unsuspecting electorate trying to get to work or home.

And even if Christie really is innocent, to even have such low life people on his staff is enough for me to say I would never trust him again. He needs to clean house and then resign. How can New Jersey voters have any confidence in a governor who may have caused such mayhem just trying to gain more political clout? If I lived in New Jersey I’d be out campaigning against him right now.

Politics is a dirty business at best, but usually the political parties take care of their dirty laundry but this is one that further sullies all politicians who engage in dirty tricks.

It makes me sick to see a man I so admired become mired in dirt but I can’t excuse his supposed lack of knowledge. It just smells to high heaven.

Quote of the week If it looks like a duck and acts like a duck it’s probably a duck, a duck who embraces dirty duck politics.

Divesting: Where it went, what it meant About 18 months ago, I made a commitment to 365 days of divesting: every day for a year, I would divest myself of at least one item per day — household goods, clothing, shoes, books, CDs, and the like.

Other types of items showed up, too, such as second guesses, a grudge or two, debts (of any kind), regrets, and outdated ideas and beliefs.

As I remember the items I donated, sold, gave away, or discarded, the list reads like the “partridge in a pear tree” song: 4 appliance cords, 3 land-line phones, 2 candlesticks, and an unknown number of black shoes.

Some items made for easy decisions. If I no longer have that toaster oven, why do I need the operator’s manual? And no matter how much I loved that wine glass with blue bead in the stem, why was I keeping both pieces after the stem broke off?

I felt good about giving children’s Christmas ornaments to a nonprofit orga-

nization. I was gratified to find homes for books and CDs. And surely someone else was glad to find those coaxial cables in the thrift store.

I found that donating can sometimes be a blurred line, though. I had to ask myself some questions before I placed an item in the big leaf-and-garden bags bound for the donation center. I like this sweater/ dress/scarf, but haven’t worn it for years; wouldn’t it be of more benefit to someone else? These shoes are run down and really can’t be fixed; why give them to an orga-

nization that would have to throw them away, rather than pitching them myself?

And, am I assuaging my guilt at getting rid of something by convincing myself that someone else can use it?

This kind of donating often requires more deliberation than spontaneous acts.

For example, on a dreary drizzly day last spring, I was driving near the Denver mission. I saw a guy crossing the street with a shopping cart, head down as he was pelted by the rain. Pretty much without thinking, I pulled up on the sidewalk (because there was no place to park) and ran to him with an umbrella I had in my car. He seemed as surprised as I was.

Dashing through the rain doesn’t make me a better person than someone who wouldn’t. It was just so simple and so right.

And that’s what made it so easy.

As I look back over this year of divesting, I get a warm glow from some of my other choices, such as giving bedroom

furniture to a young friend setting up her first apartment. Offering up tickets that came my way for concerts and sporting events, because the recipient would enjoy them more than I. And letting go of some “shoulds” or “should nots” that plague everyday existence.

My official year of divesting is over, but my commitment is not. Divesting has real meaning for me now, rather than simply making decisions about what I want or need. I have found great satisfaction in divesting items that carry a small part of me to the receiver, even when both of us remain anonymous.

Here’s to 2014 — and to a year full of meaning for what we bring in, and what we give away.

Dealing with circus mirrors and stud-dom Have you ever noticed — and I hope I’m not giving anything away, here — that... [wait for it] Men and women are really different.

I know, I know. But, give me a chance to explain.

If you pay a woman a compliment on her looks, the odds are roughly 112-percent that she will pooh-pooh you, and then she will point out to you what about her appearance she doesn’t like. You see, the mirror in her bathroom is sort of like a circus mirror, which distorts her ability to see reality and draws her eye to things which she doesn’t like.

On the other hand, a man will look in that same mirror—the circus mirror—and see something completely different. No matter what the reality is, most men will see this marvelous thing called “potential.”

To borrow a line from the late comedian Richard Jeni, men look in the circus mirror and see somebody who is about 30 pushups away from “total stud-dom.”

There’s also the mirror know as “beer” which, likewise, convinces men of their proximity to stud-dom. But that’s a story for another day. You see, reality is a funny thing,

and we all approach it from a somewhat distorted perspective. And, usually, it’s impossible to know which distortions we’re buying in to when we’re going through it.

Let me give you another example — hopefully one less inappropriate and simpleminded.

I have an old friend that I get together with periodically, and, invariably, he will spend the first hour of our conversation talking about how horrible his marriage is — how it’s cold and awkward and boring and on and on and on. Being a family man, I usually try to talk him down and convince him that it’s all worth it and marriages have seasons and blah blah blah. But one time, I was just kinda tired of listening to it, and I

said “look, if it’s that bad, have you taken the smart steps to prepare for a divorce?”

He looked at me like I had five heads, each with three eyes and big handle bar mustaches. “Why would I do that?” he said.

“I’m really happy!”

His circus mirror, it turns out, wasn’t a distortion of his own — it was the distortion he projected to the world, or at least, to me.

It gave me what turned out to be a wildly distorted view of his relationship, which put me in a very strange place vis-à-vis being a good friend to him. Likewise, it led me to believe that my old friend, who was always a pretty happy fellow, was miserable and that his primary operating mode was complaining.

Turns out, none of the above was true, either. But the circus mirror — the distortions we project on the world, either into our own minds or externally — has a selffulfilling quality. My friend wants me to like

his wife, but I will spend every moment of our next meeting looking for signs of the things my friend complains about. And, once a woman goes to the trouble of pointing out her flaws, it’s not very long before that’s what the people around her start to look at, too.

We should have a care not to indulge our distortions. Throw heavy objects through the circus mirror at your soonest convenience. You don’t want those to become reality.

Yes, even your happy delusions, guys.

Sorry — you’re probably much further away from “stud-dom” than a mere 30 pushups.

Better get started.

Senior center, schools receive open space grants 14 projects receive total $3 million in funding

By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Fourteen projects in Adams County received a total of $3 million in open space grants.

The grants are funded through the 2013 revenues of the Adams County open space sales tax, which was passed by voters in 1999.

The Adams County commissioners voted to approve the grants, which were recommended by the Open Space Advisory Board.

“The funding provided in this grant cycle will impact Adams County residents, both young and old,” Board Chair Eva J. Henry said.

“From better playgrounds for two elementary schools to improvements at the Thornton Senior Center, the open space sales tax is making Adams County a better place to live.”

A $778,800 grant was awarded to the city of Thornton for renovations to its Senior Center, 9471 Dorothy Blvd. Improvements include the renovation of the front and rear entrances, improve the front desk and lobby space, add a new hallway and make aesthetic upgrades such as new paint/wall coverings, flooring and furniture.

The estimated cost for the project is $1,298,000, said Diane Van Fossen, capital projects and planning manager with the city.

“One specific goal of the Senior Citizen Advisory Board and Senior Services Master Plan is to update and modernize the cen-

Senior citizens watch St. Patrick’s Day dancers last March at the Thornton Senior Center. The city received a $778,800 grant to go toward renovations to the facility at 9471 Dorothy Blvd. Photo courtesy of the city of Thornton ter so it’s a more appealing space to market senior resources to both existing users and appeal to younger seniors,” she said. “The facility has been in use since 1956 first as City Hall and then in 1984 as a remodeled senior center.”

Construction is scheduled to start at the end of this month and be completed in late May. The 30th anniversary of the center is tentatively scheduled for August, Van Fossen said.

Mapleton Public Schools received a $327,652 grant, which will cover portion of its Adventure Elementary renovation proj-

ect.

The district plans to renovate the existing playgrounds, courts and fields at the school, 7700 Delta St. This grant will cover the cost of an early childhood play structure, a picnic pavilion, new irrigation system, new sod, a bleacher system, soccer goals and landscaping.

The district is also receiving partner matching funds and in-kind from Colorado Health Foundation and Great Outdoors Colorado to cover an additional $543,014 of the project.

“There is so much academic research

that tells us how important outdoor learning environments are to a child’s social, physical, emotional and mental development,” said Lisa Schell, school director.

“The ability to play in a safe environment does help kids learn in classrooms. We are excited about this incredible opportunity to provide our community with places to run, jump, swing, slide, play and learn.”

The city of Westminster received two Open Space Grants — $585,000 for its Ranch Creek Underpass and Trails project and $276,000 for 75th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard land acquisition.

The Ranch Creek project includes the construction of an underpass at 120th Avenue near Federal Boulevard and the construction of a trail along the creek.

The city plans to use its other grant to purchase 1.53 acres at the southeast corner of 75th and Sheridan for open space.

Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District received $165,800 for its Bell Roth Park improvements, which includes two new lighted volleyball courts, new playground equipment, picnic tables, barbecue grills, improved ADA access, and connectivity to existing trails and sidewalks.

Other projects awarded grants include the trailhead kiosk and map fabrications and the Twin Lakes Park Mile High Youth Corps Russian Olive tree removal, both $5,000 apiece, in Adams County; Cotton Park Renovations in Aurora for $400,000; High School Seniors Beautification Project for $5,000, North Elementary/Malcom Play Yard for $95,330 and Magers Reservoir acquisition for $203,000, all in Brighton; and Fairfax Park Interpretive Signage for $5,000, Los Valientes Improvements for $25,000 and restoration plans for Sand Creek Properties for $25,000, all in Commerce City.

Fire chief retires after 45 years of service

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com George Ditolla grew up in a firehouse.

Since 1946 when the Southwest Adams County Fire Rescue incorporated, Ditolla was there as a young boy, learning the ropes of what it takes to be a firefighter.

Now, after 45 years of service, Ditolla is leaving behind the life of the dedicated SWAC fire chief, and moving onto a more relaxing job- retirement.

“Now that I’ve committed to leaving, I’m ready to give the other leaders the opportunity to move the department in whatever direction they want,” said Ditolla, who retired in Jan. 2. “It’s time to do some traveling with my wife. Finally go on a cruise.”

Ditolla’s father was a founding member

of the Southwest Adams County volunteer rescue. He says he learned a lot as a kid, and ended up just sticking around the fire house learning more things and helping out when he could.

After his father retired in 1966, Ditolla had a feeling a career in firefighting was his calling.

“I always had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to try being a firefighter,” he said. “And once you experience the life of a firefighter, it’s in your blood forever.”

Ditolla was a volunteer for 20 years, before becoming chief in 1993. Then in 1999, Ditolla hired on his first paid crew followed by the hiring of 23 more firefighters in 2003 and the start of the ambulance program.

Watching a department grow from 100 percent volunteer to a paid staff is something Ditolla says was very invigorating. He said

he appreciated the tax payer’s support over the years, backing the department 100 percent.

“It’s been exciting to be able to keep the department going and move in a positive direction,” he said. “Over the years I’ve been a part of helping the department get quality apparatus to ensure their safety, and I’m very proud of that.”

Just this summer, the department replaced two fire engines with two new, stateof-the-art bright red engines. The new engines are 2013 velocity PUC Pumpers and feature DD13 Detroit diesel engines, 750 gallon water tanks, 1,500-gallon per minute plumps and two 30-gallon foam containers.

At that time, Ditolla credited the hard work of a firefighter committee in designing the necessary engines to meet the needs of the department.

“There have been a lot of new innovations since 2004 in fire and safety, so it’s exciting for us to be involved in that,” Ditolla said in June, 2013. “With the new engines, we have the capability to carry more equipment when we get the calls, and depending on the nature of the call, we’ll be able to handle it.”

Safety of his firefighters was always one of Ditolla’s top priorities as chief. He’s basically hired each and every person on staff, which Ditolla considers a blessing and has had the opportunity to watch the men and women in the department grow into highly professional firefighters, EMTs and paramedics.

“It’s a good group of men and women that work for Southwest Adam County and I’m honored to know them and help educate them to be top quality,” he said.

Lawmakers get to work, line up bills for consideration

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The 2014 legislative session got under way Jan. 8, with speeches from party leaders that addressed a variety of key issues that lawmakers will address the next few months.

Yes, there were calls by leaders in both chambers to work together on issues like jobs, the economy and education.

But there was plenty of politics on opening day, with Democrats and Republicans exchanging jabs on contentious

Capitol Report

issues — many of which were fought over last year — that are sure to lead to headlines during this year’s session.

Although leaders talked about issues that they will surely fight over during the next few months, it is clear that their early priorities will focus on working together on legislation that will deal with flood

and wildfire disasters.

The first series of bills introduced in the House came as a result of work by a bipartisan Flood Disaster Study Committee.

Those bills include legislation that creates income tax credits for properties destroyed by natural disasters, and another that creates grant funding to repair water infrastructure that is impacted by natural disasters.

“Despite all the recovery work that’s already happened, there’s much still to do,” House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver said. “And we must see it through to completion.”

House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso echoed Ferrandino’s remarks on the importance of immediately dealing with natural disaster legislation.

“Helping our friends and neighbors impacted by these tragedies will be a top priority of Republicans this session, and I am glad to hear that it will be for my colleagues across the aisle as well,”

DelGrosso said.

Education will also be a key area of focus this year. Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, introduced the College Affordability Act, which places a 6 percent cap on tuition rate increases, and provides more money for financial aid.

Carroll said the bill deals with skyrocketing tuition costs that often create enormous amounts of debt for students.

“What we are talking about is squeezing out economic and life opportunities for an entire generation,” Carroll said.

“This is an unsustainable trend that threatens to weaken our economy.”

Ferrandino also talked about education, telling House members that students need more resources inside classrooms. He also took issue with Republicans’ views on public education, who often contend that schools need to be reformed, before more money is thrown at the education system.

“But while some have argued for reform before resources, let me say this: Reforms will not work, and our schools will not get better if they are not adequately funded. Period,” Ferrandino said.

Republicans will move forward with legislation that seeks to undo Democrat-sponsored bills that became law following last year’s session.

They include legislation that doubled the renewable energy mandate for rural electric cooperatives. DelGrosso said the mandate “puts a financial strain” on rural families and businesses.

DelGrosso said that while the state’s economy is improving, parts of rural Colorado continue to struggle.

“The voice of rural Colorado is being heard loud and clear by House Republicans, and I hope my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will hear it as well,” DelGrosso said.

Last year’s session saw

Democrats achieve several legislative victories, over loud protests from their Republican colleagues.

Democrats scored wins on gun control, election reform and on social issues, including the creation of civil unions in Colorado.

But Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs, said Coloradans had a “visceral response to what took place in this Legislature last year.” That response included recall efforts that cost two Democratic senators their jobs, and led one to resign from office.

“Democrats divided

by Republicans does not produce outcomes that are representative of this state,” Cadman said.

Cadman said that last year’s political division resulted in a “hyper-partisan toxin that affected this entire institution.

“To those who served here and all those who visited here, we started looking like Congress,” he said.

Good reads to pursue in new year Best books for a new year

is a don’t-miss book.

Adding “The Rebellion of Miss Lucy Ann Lobdell” by William Klaber to this list is kind of cheating. That’s because this book is fictional, but is based closely on the true story of a woman who lived as a man in the 1850s. That was scandalous, to be sure – but what was even more scandalous to the pioneers that knew her was that she was able to survive a splashy court case and later, successfully married another woman. Written as a series of diary entries, this book includes action, adventure, jaw-dropping events, history that’ll blow your mind, and I loved it.

For some reason, I found “One Summer: America 1927”

by Bill Bryson to be this years’ most relaxing read. Maybe it’s because Bryson meanders through a mere five months of one year in history. Maybe it’s because there’s no rush in this book; it just moves gently from one topic to another to another, telling this story and that one, page after page and before you know it, this brick of a book (528 pages) is over.

Like any great summer, it’s over too soon.

you turning the pages to the end, absolutely needing to find out what happens to them and why they wake up, craving heroin, on a saltwater beach. I don’t dare tell you any more. Just go read the book.

If the first chapter of “Goat Mountain”

by David Vann doesn’t pull you in and make you want to keep reading, then you may need your pulse taken. Told from the point of view of an adult who’s obviously painfully grown-up, it’s the story of an 11-year-old boy and his first real hunting trip with the elders in his life. Suffice it to say that things don’t go so well. This perhaps this season’s most unsettling psychological thriller, and a definite Don’t-Even-THINK-About-Missing books.

“The Ocean at the End of the Lane” by Neil Gaiman is one of those dark, dark fairy tales of which Gaiman is so famous. It’s a novel of a man who somehow gets lost on his way home from a funeral, and he ends up on a side road near where he grew up.

He starts to remember the little neighbor girl who promised to keep him safe forever.

But, of course, she couldn’t.

This is a misty kind of novel with just the right amount of creeposity. I can’t imagine not reading it.

TIE: “Orphan Train” by Christina Baker Kline and “The Storyteller” by Jodi Picoult.

I couldn’t decide between them, so you get to learn about both.

“Orphan Train” is based on real events in American history, in which New York City orphans were shipped across the U.S. and Canada in search for new families. In this case, the tale is about an elderly woman who has a secret, and the juvenile delinquent girl who learns what it is.

In “The Storyteller,” a loner befriends an elderly man who tells her about his past – and it’s horrifying… but not nearly as horrifying as what he asks her to do.

These are two novels that will pull you in quick and keep you on your seat. They’re books you’ll want to share with everybody you know.

FICTION

CHILDREN’S BOOKS

Reading.

Pfft. Who has time? Who can take hours and hours to actually read a book, especially if it’s not all that good? Why waste that kind of time?

You wonder that often, which is where I come in. It’s my job to find the good stuff for you and, for this calendar year, these are the books I loved best that you shouldn’t miss…

NON-FICTION

At the top of my list, “Pilgrim’s Wilderness” by Tom Kizzia starts out with a semi-confusing (but heart-poundingly brilliant) escape by two young women.

You’re not sure who they’re running from, or why – but you find out soon enough that their father has sent them scurrying. You’ll also find out how one man set an Alaska community on edge and what happened to him and his very large family. The ending of this book comes all too soon and it’s truly every bit as stellar as its beginning; I read it more than six months ago, and I’m still in awe…

Like many people, I kind of went on a JFK-assassination streak of reading this year. There were certainly a lot of books out on the subject, but “Dallas 1963” by Bill Minutaglio and Steven L. Davis was my favorite. But that’s not why this book is on this list. It’s here because it answers the question, “Why Dallas?” and in answering, it gives readers a good sense of the time and the country’s attitudes. We’re transported back 50 years in the telling of this story politically, socially, morally, and beyond.

It’s one of those books you could read, and then turn around and read again.

It’s easy to think that “Twelve Years a Slave” by Solomon Northup is a novel. It’s easy to forget that you’re reading words from a man who lived some 150 years ago, that he really was sold into slavery, didn’t see his family for more than a decade, endured life as a wrongly-held man. It’s easy to think it’s all fiction - until Northup’s words not-so-gently remind you that this book is truth. That shook me up many times, and whether or not you’ve seen the movie, this

I loved the premise of “Astray” by Emma Donoghue: take an object from the past, a picture, or an article of clothing and imagine what life was like for the owner of that object. This book is a series of short stories with that in mind, all of them evoking a quiet corner of existence on the periphery of the world. Some of the stories are shocking. Some are warm. Others will make you think, but you’ll like them all.

You will probably never see “Bait” by J. Kent Messum on any other list, and that’s too bad. This story of a group of drug addicted castaways on a sandy island will keep

REGIONAL NEWS IN A HURRY 8-year-old wins Count the Lights contest survey

Landen Harger of Northglenn was the big winner of Northglenn’s 7th Annual Count the Lights Contest. The 8-year-old had the closest guess of the number of lights — working or not — that was placed on the northeast side of the Northglenn Marketplace in November and December.

Youth up to 18 years old were invited to participate.

For his guess, Harger received a $1,000 gift card from Dodge Sign Company. Other winners included: Second place: Angelia Cook, 3, of Northglenn and Third place: Rachel Wiggins, 8, Lakewood

Hearts and Hope Gala

The second-annual Hearts and Hope Gala will be 5:30 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 18, at the Four Seasons Hotel Denver, 1111 14th St., Denver.

The event will include dinner, live entertainment and a silent auction and will benefit Arvada nonprofit, Epic Experience, an organization provides a free, week-long outdoor experience for individuals with cancer and their caretakers.

Tickets are available online at www.epicexperience.org/ hearts-and-hope/events/ and start at $100.

Gadget Class A class explaining the workings of electronic gadgets will be offered 5-6 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 21, at the Community Recreation Center, 6842 Wadsworth Blvd.

The cost for the class is $5, and will help residents understand their technological devices. Organizers encourage attendees to come prepared with questions and to receive tips.

To register for the event, visit www.apexprd.org and reference activity number 126229-01.

The story inside “The Man with the Violin” by Kathy Stinson and Dušan Petri i , postscript by Joshua Bell is nice: a little boy hears a musician on the subway, but the adults around him seem to have missed the performance. The back-story is nice: it’s true. But the reason for this book being on this list is because of the artwork: it’s black and white, mostly, with swaths of vivid color to highlight what’s important in the story.

The beautiful illustrations are artwork you can’t ignore.

“Memoirs of a Hamster” by Devin Scillian, illustrated by Tim Bowers is another

book that’s partly for adults. Kids will love the cute illustrations, but the story of a hamster who wants more and more and more out of his caged life might be over their heads just a mite. That’s okay – you’ll totally get it.

Little library patrons won’t want to be without “NO PIRATES ALLOWED! Said Library Lou”

by Rhonda Gowler Greene, illustrated by Brian Ajhar. When Big Pirate Pete shows up at Seabreezy Library and demands to know where the treasure is, he’s on the wrong page. Library Lou sets him straight in this adorable rhyme.

Please put your pirate on when you read this book, for arrrrggghhhreat experience.

Another book for little booklovers is “The Snatchabook” by Helen Docherty & Thomas Docherty, the story of a theft. As all the little creatures in Burrow Down hunker down for the night, their books begin to disappear. Why and how makes an excellent bedtime story that will charm both you and your little one.

And finally, I was totally amazed at “The Wrap-Up List” by Steven Arntson. It’s the story of a place where Death wanders around, tapping people to take. When one teen gets her notice that her time is almost up, she’s told that she must tie up loose ends, that her time’s almost up. She must make her Wrap-Up List, or she can try to outwit Death and avoid leaving – but it won’t be easy.

This is one of those books that makes you think about what you’d do if you were told that you had a finite number of days left. And how this books ends, well, read it to find out…

There you have it: a bunch of books to fill your bag and your days for awhile. Look for them, or ask your favorite bookseller or librarian for more great ideas.

Season’s readings!

Former Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow was almost on the money with his BCS Championship pick before Monday night’s national title game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. In his debut as a college football analyst for ESPN, Tebow predicted No. 1 Florida State would beat No. 2 Auburn. Tebow said in the ESPN pre-game show: “Auburn might be a team of destiny, but tonight, Florida State is deeper from top to bottom … I think they win 35-31.”

Florida State rallied in the final seconds to win 34-31.

‘Orphans’ mixes light and dark in the first Edge show of 2014

By Clarke Reader

creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Edge Theatre is kicking off its 2014 season with a story that plumbs the tragic-comic depths of siblings, family and desperation.

“Orphans,” written by Lyle Kessler, opens at the theater, 1560 Teller St., on Jan. 17 and runs through Feb. 9. Performances will be Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 6 p.m.

Taking place in Philadelphia in the late 1970s, “Orphans” examines brothers, Treat (Jack Wefso) and Phillip (Christian Mast), who have been on their own since they were young children.

“The older brother (Treat) is basically a street thug, who commits small crimes to keep them going,” said Rick Yaconis, executive artistic director at the theater.

“The younger brother (Phillip) stays in the house most of the time because of the way Treat manipulates him.”

Phillip is a little impaired, and so Treat uses that fact to convince him that he is basically allergic to everything in the outside world, Yaconis said.

In an effort to better their circumstances, Treat kidnaps Harold (Yaconis), who it turns out is a notorious Chicago gangster, and also an orphan.

“Harold really sort of takes over their lives, and what: “Orphans” becomes a where: The Edge Theatre kind of fa1560 Teller St., Lakewood ther figure when: Jan. 17 to Feb. 9 to them,” Friday and Saturday, 8 p.m.

“This puts us back to focusing on small casts and stories,” he said. “It’s a little more acting intensive this way.”

The show is directed by Robert Kramer, in his fourth outing at The Edge. Kramer has also opened the new season for the past two years at the theater.

“I think this is an amazing story — it’s incredibly well written, and we tried really hard to set it in the proper time and place,” he said.

According to Kramer, one of the things

IF YOU GO

he enjoyed most about “Orphans” was the ability to slow down and give the actors a chance to really get into their characters.

“Some of the most articulate moments are those without dialogue,” he said. “The show moves along at a great pace, and it gives us the time to build these fantastic moments into the script.”

One of the things that was of crucial importance to Kramer was creating an environment that Phillip lives and breathes, since he has never left the house before.

“This place has been his (Phillip’s) entire existence,” he said. “We decided that from the moments the doors open at the theater, he won’t be off the stage. That half-hour before the show starts and audiences are coming in, he’ll be in the environment.”

Yaconis describes the show as a dark comedy, and Kramer said that this reflects not only life, but the best stories.

“Like life, it’s mostly comedic, with some horrible tragedy,” Kramer said. “My favorite pieces are those were you don’t know if it’s a comedy or tragedy, and I think it will be up to the audience to determine what it is. The lens that audience sees it through will give it a lot of laughs on one night, and terrible sadness on another.”

For tickets and more information call 303-232-0363 or visit www.theedgetheater.com.

La Sandia hosts its third annual Tamale Festival through Jan. 31 at its Northfield Stapleton and Park Meadows locations to celebrate the culinary heritage and regional ingredients of Mexico. Chef Richard Sandoval has created a tamale menu to showcase this traditional winter dish. La Sandia’s Tamale Festival menu will include tamales, entrée samples and new cocktails.

Troy Guard to open new steakhouse

Sure chef Troy Guard just opened Los Chingones and Sugarmill, but that doesn’t mean he’s resting on his restaurant laurels.

Instead, he will open his largest concept yet in February. Guard & Grace (his daughter’s moniker) will be a 9,000-square-foot modern American steak house at 1801 California St. The new space will offer private dining areas along with Denver’s largest patio with a fire pit, an expansive raw bar, wood-burning oven and exhibition kitchen.

Meanwhile, Guard’s TAG Burger Bar (1222 Madison St.) is serving its January Burger of the Month. The New Year’s Resolution Burger is a veggie patty on a whole wheat bun with a red beet gastrique, golden beet strings and brussel sprout leaves.

Served with apple chips or French fries for $13. Proceeds from this month’s burger go to Angel Eyes, an agency that provides free grief support services to anyone experiencing the sudden, unexpected loss of an infant or toddler.

Advisor Caring

Respecting

Family caregivers need our care, too Studies are reporting that 39 percent of all Americans are caring for a sick or disabled family member. As much as 37 percent are male caregivers. Caring for a loved one, especially those who live alone or perhaps with a family member is hard work. In so many cases with Dementia or Alzheimer’s the child becomes the parent to their parent and there are few, if any, breaks.

We here at The Senior Hub understand the stress, guilt and pain that families experience as their loved ones age.

That is why we are here.

We can provide Meals on Wheels, Homecare professionals who can cook, clean and help with everyday living skills and provide a trusted individual who can give a caregiver a break. Our Senior Solutions program can offer information and referrals to help solve problems for elders and their families, while our Adult Day service can provide a safe place during the day that offers participants exercise, companionship and interactive programming to strengthen older adults’ minds and bodies while family members work or take some time off to tend

to their own needs.

It is through donations that The Senior Hub programs are able to provide services at free or reduced rates for some of the most needy elders living in your communities. If you are a caregiver and need help, please call. If you are a caring community member and would like to support our mission, please call 303-426-4408 or go online to www.seniorhub. org for more information to make a donation.

Either way, “Together We Are Making a Difference.”

Caregiver Support Groups are offered each month at three different locations throughout Adams County. These groups are designed to assist those who are caring and need support and information to help them maintain their lives and health while providing 24- hour-a-day care for a loved one. These groups are also good for those who may soon become a caregiver or are re-

covering from the loss of an elderly loved one in recent months. Let us help you through these difficult times.

The next Support Groups are scheduled as follows: February 11, 2014 – at The Senior Hub, 2360 W. 90th Ave., Federal Heights from 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.

February 13, 2014 – at Brighton’s Eagle View Adult Center, 1150 Prairie

Center Parkway, Brighton from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

February 14, 2014 – at Morning Star Care Center 1016 Boston Street, Aurora from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Feel free to contact Mary at 303-426-4408 for both the Federal Heights and Brighton Groups and Linda at 720-859-2248 for the Aurora Group for more information.

Students take on their spin of Xanadu

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com Manestage Theatre Company at Mountain Range High School is taking on its version of the musical Xanadu, and students are hoping to take the audience back in time through the music of the 1980s.

Xanadu follows the journey of magical Greek muse Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mount Olympus to Venice Beach, Calif. in 1980 to inspire struggling artist Sonny to achieve the first roller disco. The musical is based on the movie of the same title staring Olivia Newton.

Throughout the musical, the audience experiences the classic ‘80s hits by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar including Magic, All Over the World and I’m Alive. The music is one big reason why director Mary Murray chose the musical.

“The musical is making fun of the movie, but it still had all the great music so that was part of the pull to do this musical,” she said. “I also wanted to find something that can engage a lot of students from the school.

And with this musical I have 64 students. If they have the grades and wanted to commit, they were part of the show.”

Students have been rehearsing since November, but just recently the musical was blocked for the acting parts.

Murray said students start off learning the songs and choreography before the musical is actually put together to include the acting. And this particular musical is getting extra attention.

“We entered Xanadu into the regional high school theater competition called the Bobby G Awards, so there is a little more pressure,” Murray said.

“We will be going up

Photo by Ashley Reimers against 20 other schools in the metro area for a variety of awards, like best actor, best costuming, best lighting and best choreography, so it’s pretty cool.”

Playing the lead of Kira

is senior Rachel Carruthers.

This is her first lead in a play or musical, and she’s up for the challenge. She admits as a lead, there’s more memorization, but the opportunity to be part of something

her peers are also invested in, is worth it.

“I like hanging out with my friends and all coming together to work hard and reach the same goal,” she said. “It’s kind of scary

because there is a lot depending on me, but it’s really fun because I really like the part I am playing.”

A.J. Winter, who is playing the other lead of Sonny, is used to the spot light. He was the lead in last year’s musical and has performed in many other plays and musicals.

For this particular part, Winter said the songs are a bit challenging but once he’s got them down they will turn out great.

“It’s a lot of work to do this show, not only do I have to sing, but I also have to roller skate,” he said.

“But I’ve been practicing every Wednesday and we all go over to Skate City to practice there.”

Manestage Theatre Company’s rendition of Xanadu hits the stage on Jan. 30 and 31 at Mountain Range High School, 12500 Huron St. in Westminster.

Both shows start at 6:30 p.m. and tickets are $8 for students and senior citizens and $10 for adults. To purchase a ticket, call 720-9726407.

Cieszlak remembered for leadership

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mayor pro tem Michael Cieszlak passed away on Monday, Jan. 6, after a battle with cancer.

He was elected to council in 2009 and re-elected in 2011 for Ward 3 and provided input and support to many city projects and programs. One of the high notes was the Yard of Month program, which encourages residents to take pride in their yards during the summer months and honors those who go the extra mile in beautifying the neighborhood.

Steve Durian, community service director for the city, said the Yard of the Month program was Cieszlak’s “baby” and something he took great pride in and enjoyed.

“Nothing really invigorated Mike more than the Yard of the Month program,” he said. “It will always be something we will remember him for.”

During Cieszlak’s time on council, Durian said he was the councilman who really supported the public works department, understanding the hard work and dedication the staff put forth to keep the city running.

He was a major supporter of the public works facility expansion in 2010 and was instrumental in helping gain support from the other council members for the expansion, Durian added.

“He understood the importance of the public works staff,” he said. “He appreciated the working man, I would say, and in turn appreciated the public works staff.”

Jacqueline Halburnt, Federal Heights city manager, remembers Cieszlak as a collaborative leader, working with the council to accomplish goals during his term. She said he understood the importance of teamwork and looking at the big picture, beyond what was best for his ward, but more at what was best for the entire city.

Michael Cieszlak

‘I will miss the rational thinking he had on council.’

Jacqueline Halburnt, Federal Heights city manager “I will miss the rational thinking he had on council,” she said. “But I will also miss how he could make me laugh. He was always chatting with the city employees, so he was more than just a council member. We are all just heartbroken to have lost a city leader.”

In March 2013, Cieszlak was recognized by the National League of Cities for reaching the bronze level in its Cer-

tificate of Achievement in Leadership program.

Cieszlak’s visitation and service was Friday, Jan. 10, at the Archdiocese/Mount Olivet Cemetery at 12801 W. 44th Ave. in Wheat Ridge. The visitation was followed by the service at 2 p.m. Federal Heights city hall was closed at noon on Jan. 10, to allow employees to attend the service.

Academy girls basketball falls to Platte Valley The Wildcats rebound for a win at Middle Park Jan. 11

By Kate Ferraro

kferraro@coloradocommunitymedia. com The Academy girls basketball team lost a physical and aggressive game to Platte Valley 57-34 Jan. 10 at Academy High School.

Both teams came away from 10 personal fouls after the first half of the game, plus seven personal fouls from the Academy in the second half and five from Platte Valley.

“Some of those fouls we deserved, because we weren’t playing defense like we practiced,” Wildcats head coach Steve Cancino said.

The Wildcats (5-5) kept up with the Broncos (7-2) well in the first half, staying physical and only trailing 18-9 in the first quarter and 32-21 going into halftime.

The Broncos pulled away in the third quarter holding the Wildcats to only seven points in the third and six in the fourth quarter.

“We forgot how to play against a zone defense,” Cancino said. “We forgot how to

This is something we work on every practice, but again it’s a mind set. Some girls feel that they have to take it over themselves instead of using the team.”

Platte Valley sophomore Adrianna Rios

scored 19 points and junior Terra Seyler scored 18 for the Broncos. Both Rios and Seyler went 3-for-4 at the free throw line, and senior Jazmin Montes went 5-for-7.

Overall, Platte Valley made 14 out of 21 bas-

kets at the free throw line. The Academy only made seven out of 18.

Academy senior Jackie Wilson scored six points for her team. Wilson had to come out at the start of the third quarter, because of an injury.

“She played with more heart than a lot of players on any team,” Cancino said of Wilson. “She hustles so hard. I’m always in fear of her getting injured and it never fails, she does. She plays with a lot of heart.”

Senior Alex Garcia and junior Allie Falagrady both have been averaging 9.1 points per game. Falagrady scored 16 points for the Wildcats.

“If I had players that would do that from the beginning of the game to the end, we’d be undefeated,” Cancino said of Falagrady.

“She plays so hard every minute of every game. I respect the way she handles herself and the way she tries to get everybody involved.”

The Academy defeated Middle Park 4337 Jan. 11. Falagrady scored 16 points and Wilson scored 12. The Wildcats did better with their free throws scored eight out of 15.

The Wildcats will play Jan. 16 against Arrupe Jesuit (3-3) at the Academy High School.

Mountain Range Prep Sports Scoreboard wrestling pins Legacy JEFFERSON ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL

Jorge Rodriguez, Ryan Deakin stay undefeated

By Kate Ferraro

kferraro@coloradocommunitymedia. com Seven wrestlers from Mountain Range pinned their opponents in a crosstown rival dual meet against Legacy Jan. 10.

The Mustangs beat the Lightning 45-26, and also won 40-24 against Ponderosa Jan. 8, both at home.

“It’s good for our guys to wrestle two nights in a row for the multiple weigh-ins,” Mustangs head coach Todd Sandman said.

“It’s always nice to beat the crosstown rival.”

Mountain Range senior heavyweight Jorge Rodriguez was one of the seven who won his match, pinning Legacy’s Logan Lyons in 25 seconds. Rodriguez is now 22-0 on the season, something he’s never done before.

“My sophomore year I only lost one match and that was up in Kansas against the three-time state champ,” Rodriguez said. “I’m waiting to see what happens this year.”

Mountain Range 152-pounder Patrick Romero pinned Legacy’s Brandon Mostellor and Estevan Minjarez (195) pinned Mark Gjestvang. Mustangs Kody Kleman (220) and Louis Romero (106) pinned Tanner Dressel and Mitch Mueller, respectively.

Mountain Range Timmy Romero (120)

pinned Trenton Blazon and Zack Martinez (126) pinned Gabe Armijo. Trent Thomas (132) won by points against Legacy’s Gabe Rodriguez, 11-5.

“We’re trying to improve each week,” Sandman said. “The important thing is at the end of the season the Pepsi Center. We want a strong showing there.”

Legacy’s Adam Otterson (138) pinned Ronnie Kahler and Skyler Anderson (182) pinned Mustangs’ Brandon Forney.

Blake Higgins (145) beat Mountain Range’s Mike Alvino by points, 9-7. Legacy’s Matt Hebel (160) and Nolan Funk (170) each won by points over Mustangs’ Alex Morales and Colton Eveland, respectively.

Legacy sophomore Ryan Deakin (113) also won by points over Martino Maez and is now 21-0 with 13 pins on the season.

“He’s definitely turned it on this season,” Legacy head coach Mike Thompson said of Deakin. “He’s got the right frame of mind, so he’s doing well for himself.”

Thompson said the season has been going well because the team is improving every week, which is important to him.

“It’s hard to see on the scoreboard, but with wrestling our goal is always regionals and state,” Thompson said. “These duals are good and it’s good for the kids. We’ve improved every week and that’s what we need to keep doing.”

Mountain Range will visit Kansas City Jan. 17 and 18 for the Bobcat Classic, while Legacy welcomes Greeley West Jan. 16 at Legacy High School.

“We are hoping to get going on this project post-haste so our residents can enjoy the improvements by summer,” Cortez said.

The surrounding neighborhoods in Federal Heights and Thornton are made up of high density, multi-family housing with minimal amenities. Cortez said the 11.5acre park is already very popular among residents, and with the new upgrades, she expects the park to receive any more use.

“The residents in the area have been behind the project providing great support,” she said.

“The park needed some work and is already heavily used, so we couldn’t be more pleased for everyone.”

Steven Durian, Community Services Director for Federal Heights, said the improvements will be a benefit to city residents in the area.

“Because the park borders our city, we are in support of the project,” he said. “It will be an asset to the community.”

Construction is set to begin soon, with completion scheduled for May 1.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF JAN 15, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Romantic aspects are high at this time for single Lambs looking for love. Warm and fuzzy feelings also are at enhanced levels for Rams and Ewes in paired relationships.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) This week favors what Taureans dote on -- namely, love and money. Look for more meaningful relationships for both singles and pairs, as well as an improved financial outlook.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) All lingering shreds of that recent bout with boredom are dissipated as you eagerly accept a challenging offer. Your positive mood persuades others to join you in this venture.

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You might need validation for a possible solution to a situation involving someone close to you. Consider asking a trusted friend or relative to help you with this problem.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Investigate carefully before agreeing to assist a friend or colleague with a personal problem. There might be hidden factors that could emerge later that will create problems for you.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Your decision to work with an associate rather than go it alone, as you first proposed, brings an unexpected bonus. Be careful not to be judgmental. Allow for free and open discussion.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A loved one’s health problem could, once again, make demands on your time and attention. But this time, make some demands of your own, and insist that others pitch in and help.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) This is a good time for the traditionally staid Scorpion to plan adjustments in your day-to-day schedules. Be more flexible and allow for more impromptu, off-the-cuff actions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Avoid creating unnecessary fuss over a situation you don’t approve of. If it’s going to work, it will do so despite your objections. If it fails, it will do so without a push from you.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Working with a trusted colleague could open your mind to exploring some considerations you previously dismissed out of hand. The weekend brings news from a loved one.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Resolving a recent problem leaves you in a good position to strengthen your influence on how things get done. But continue to encourage ideas and suggestions from others.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A new friend suggests an interesting opportunity. But check it out before you snap at it. It might be a good deal for some people, but it might not work in helping you reach your goals.

ers should “recognize their moral and legal obligation to protect our air and water.”

Democrats praised Hickenlooper’s speech.

“I was very impressed with the collaborative nature of the visionary and positive message,” Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge said. “The theme of his speech was really about recovery.”

Rep. Cheri Gerou, an Evergreen Republican, who is known to cross the aisle on certain issues, said that the governor’s speech was well-received.

“The governor was able brag about his accomplishments and he should,” she said. “And the economy is recovering. Granted, we’ll never have enough money for all of our issues, but we’re making headway.”

But other Republicans said it’s convenient for Hickenlooper to talk about unity without referencing the polarizing bills that he signed into law last year.

“What was negative here last year was how things were handled,” Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs said. “The record was negative and the people said no. You can’t run from that.”

Rep. Polly Lawrence, R-Littleton, pointed out that the governor made no mention of measures that will be taken up again this year, such as repeal efforts on gun bills, renewable energy mandates for rural communities, and same-day voter registration.

“We’re not looking to repeal everything that was passed last year, but there are corrections that need to be made,” Lawrence said.

But Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, said that is yesterday’s news.

“Last session was last session,” he said. ‘We’re looking forward. The governor highlighted the key things we need to do to bring us together, and that’s what we need to do.”
