Supply is in high demand for Real Estate market Home purchases and mortgage rates to rise in 2014 according to experts By Amy Woodward
awoodward@coloradocommunitymedia.com Housing market experts seem to be in agreement that real estate is booming and healthy in Colorado. For Jeffco, single family homes averaged 48 days on the market which is a 32 percent decrease from 2012 where single family homes averaged 71 days, according to a market report from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. “It’s showing a healthy market, it’s leaning a little bit to the buyer’s side and that’s just a lack of inventory,” Mike Welk, metrolist director of DMAR said. “That lack of inventory is going to be one of the obstacles consumers will face as demand surpasses supply. New listings are down 35 percent which is drastically under where the county is normally at,” Welk said. “When we have an increase in price and a decrease on days on market we’re just getting a competitive situation where supply is not there but the demand is very high which is driving the price up and lowering the days on the market,” he said. “We just need more inventory on the market for it to be more of a balanced market.” Still, buyers are purchasing homes over the asking price and cities like Golden are seeing homes being gobbled up by eager homebuyers. Today, the city of Golden has only six active listings and homes that hit the market can disappear in five days or less but no more than 26 days, according to Golden Real Estate. In the past there were 20 to 30 listings, said Jim Smith, broker and owner of Golden
Board member Julie Williams speaks to Jeffco Schools superintendent Cindy Stevenson, who announced her resignation Saturday rather than retire later this year. Photo by Crystal Anderson
Lack of trust by new board majority cited Superintendent Cindy Stevenson resigned from Jeffco Schools Saturday amid expressions of dissatisfaction with the direction of the school board. Following the general election in November, Stevenson announced her retirement and had agreed to serve through June — allowing the district time to recruit a new superintendent — before Saturday’s resignation. “I can’t lead and manage, because I am not trusted or respected by this board of education,” Stevenson said at the start of the meeting. “Consequently, I did approach the board, and said this isn’t working.”
‘I can’t lead and
Stevenson’s decision came after three months of work with a board that contains three newly elected board members: John Newkirk, Julie Williams, and Ken Witt, who are credited with sharing conservative perspectives. According to a press release, sent out by the board’s attorney, Stevenson approached the board seeking early termination of her contract. Stevenson said the three do not respect her or allow her to make decisions or lead the district. Throughout the meeting, which lasted less than 20 minutes, audience memStevenson continues on Page 11

International market comes to town By Ashley reimers

What was once an Albertson’s is now H Mart, an international market specializing in Asian food. Opening last November, the grocery store at 5036 W. 92nd Ave. in Westminster is providing the community cuisine and food products found not only in Asia, but also from countries around the world. “Our main goal of course is we would like to be a neighborhood grocery market to this community, not only to people in Westminster, but people from Broomfield and other cities,” Won Ho Lee, administrator for H Mart Corporation said. “We want to be known as the friendly store that people can come to and shop and buy everything they want and need.” The 43,146-square-foot building is the second Colorado location, the first is in Aurora off South Road. 6x1.75_BringAppetite_Layout 1 2/3/14 11:15Parker AM Page 1 Lee said a Westminster location was the perfect place for a second store
because of its proximity to northern Colorado cities like Fort Collins and the Wyoming border. He said the large Asian population in the Westminster area was another draw. “We’ve gotten a lot of feedback from people that stated they are so happy to have H Mart very close to their homes,” Lee said. “They are happy to be able to buy unique items you can’t find at Western markets like King Soopers or Wal-Mart.” The unique items range from produce from the Middle East to fresh fish from Asia, which Lee said is a store specialty. The fish are shipped in from around the world and displayed whole for customers to choose from. Lee said the fish can also be cleaned upon request from customers. H Mart also features a deli with pre-made items like pot stickers and will eventually house a bakery. A portion of the building will also be dedicated to tenant businesses, one offering cosmetic

This one is for the dogs As someone who covers the state Legislature, it’s common for me to write about lawmakers who fight like cats and dogs. Yeah, yeah, I get it. Legislators will tell you that more than 90 percent of bills are passed with bipartisan support. No argument there. But do they really expect the press to write about a unanimous resolution to designate the month of July as Go Fly a Kite Month? Not sure if that’s something that’s actually happened, but you get my point. On the heavy-duty bills having to do with gun control and oil and gas regulations, lawmakers sure do know how to throw down, steel cage-style. They fight and scratch and claw and bite, and covering that messy business can get old after a while. So imagine my delight when I found out that a group of lawmakers, who at times fight like cats and dogs, get together periodically to talk about taking care of cats and dogs — and other cute critters, large and small. The Colorado Legislative Animal Caucus, or CLAW, is made up of a bipartisan group of lawmakers who deal with any kind of legislation having to do with animals. “We discuss all kinds of animal issues,” said state Sen. David Balmer, R-Centennial, a caucus co-chairman. “Large animals like horses and cows and very small animals like reptiles and birds. We discuss everything.” The caucus gets together to discuss potential legislation. The consensus on issues is non-binding, but it serves a starting point for animal bills that end up being introduced at the Capitol. As a reporter who can lose political romance due to the often-ugly sausage-making process at the Capitol, it’s kind of nice being able to recognize lawmakers who take time to craft legislation aimed at protecting our “Snausage” eating four-legged friends. When folks think about the role of state legislators, they think of budget committees and floor votes. Few would guess that lawmakers convene as a special body to talk
about animal welfare issues. “I think some folks might be surprised,” said Rep. Steve Lebsock, D-Thornton, a CLAW caucus member. “But, to be honest with you, 60 percent of the households in Colorado have either a dog or cat. They might be surprised if we didn’t have a caucus. “People love animals. Their little dogs and cats are like their children and grandchildren. I think a lot of people would be really proud to see their lawmakers looking out for the welfare of animals in the state.” Caucus member Rep. Lois Court, DDenver, said it shouldn’t come as any surprise that the legislature has its own caucus that deals with issues pertaining to animals. “We have caucuses to talk about the disabled, veterans and rural Colorado,” she said. “Our constituents across the state have a gazillion of particular interests. And there is a huge population in this state who is concerned about animal welfare.” While lawmakers who participate in the CLAW caucus do so out of a love for animals, not everything that the body deals with is touchy-feely legislation. They actually take up quite a few controversial issues. For example, last year the Legislature passed a bill that designates shelter dogs and cats as being the official state pet, something that spurred opposition from breeders and pet shop businesses. And Lebsock introduced a bill that would limit the practice of tail docking, where a dairy cow’s tail is partially amputated. That bill, which received opposition from dairy
groups, didn’t make it out of the Capitol last year, but Lebsock is pleased that the issue could end up on the ballot this fall. So, just like any other issue, all politics is local when it comes to animal matters. “I think legislators are reticent to vote against a bill that’s helping dogs and cats,” Balmer said. “But when it comes to the large animal issues, you can almost predict how a legislator is going to come down on it based on how their district looks.” If you know Balmer, his participation in the CLAW caucus should come as no surprise. He is known at the Capitol as the “dog legislator.” Last year, Balmer sponsored legislation that created law enforcement training practices whenever cops encounter dogs at crime scenes. The legislation was spurred by incidents where dogs were shot and killed by officers who were responding to house calls. And this year, Balmer’s bill to allow emergency medical personnel to provide medical care to domestic dogs and cats is expected to become law. Balmer owns three dogs — two vizlas (a type of Hungarian hunting dog) and a German Long-haired pointer. Balmer boasts his love of dogs through his email tag, which reads: Be as good as your dog. The Centennial senator is a dog lover — and who can blame a guy for that? “Dogs are inherently good,” he said. “They are always trying to celebrate your homecoming. When you go to the grocery store and come back home, it’s a big deal for them. Any time you’re having a sad day, your dog will sense it and comfort you. They are a greater creature of love than we are.” Tell me about it. Bennie, my 11-year-old mystery mutt, has been a vital part of my life since he was a puppy. If I could point to the day when I fell in love with him, it was when I was watching a Cubs game on TV. Livid at the Cubs performance — which, as a Cubs fan, I often am — I threw my Cubs cap at the TV set in disgust. Bennie, who was on the couch with me,

looked up at me for a second, hopped offareim the couch, fetched my baseball cap andcom brought it back to me. Oh, the goosebumps Th I still get from that. Most recently, I came home from a Su-who per Bowl party, depressed and dejecteddied from the Broncos’ performance. I wantedjurie nothing to do with anyone or anything. I flopped on the couch and stared at the wall, deflated and miserable. Bennie hopped on the couch, shook his tail and licked my face. Suddenly, life was so much better. The solace in having your heart broken is coming home to a dog who licks your wounds. Balmer’s love for dogs knows no bounds. He was a major in the Army reserves who served a tour in Afghanistan in 2002. The streets were full of stray Dogs of War who lacked food and veterinary care. “They stayed with us and slept in the shade of our vehicles,” he said. “We weren’t supposed to let them get in any of our vehicles, but a lot of our soldiers did. I always looked the other way. We sort of adopted the dogs as our own.” Court is touched whenever she comes across military veterans with service dogs, who provide companionship for soldiers in need of loyalty and love. “Their pets are lifesavers for them,” she said. “They are incredibly important members of their families. Whenever Balmer leaves office, if he is remembered as being nothing other than a dog champion, he’s totally OK with that. “I couldn’t be more proud of that label,” he said. “I have spent nine years at the Capitol developing a reputation as a conservative Republican, which I’m also proud of. But I am immensely proud to be known as the dog legislator. People are calling me that now and I couldn’t be happier to have that moniker and wear it with pride.” Vic Vela is the legislative reporter for Colorado Community Media.

It looks like Colorado’s new state logo is here to stay, after Democrats on a House committee rejected a bill that would allow the new symbol to go to the voters. The logo – which was initiated by Gov. John Hickenlooper’s office – features a green, snow-capped mountain with the letters “CO.” Businesses looking to tout their Colorado roots through marketing efforts will be able to use the new logo without having to pay state royalties. Rep. Bob Rankin, R-Carbondale, told the House Business, Labor, Economic and Workforce Development Committee during a Feb. 4 hearing that Coloradans ought to be able to vote on the new logo, citing criticism from those who don’t care for it. The committee rejected Rankin’s effort, following a party-line vote of 6-5.

Youth tanning bed restrictions moves forward
A tougher version of a bill that would restrict children from using tanning beds has cleared its first legislative hurdle. House Bill 1054 would ban all persons under 18 from using tanning beds. The bill is motivated by studies that show tanning beds can contain cancer-causing carcinogens. Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster, has sponsored similar measures the last couple of years, though this year’s bill is tougher than ones she had previously introduced. It bans all youths from using tanning beds, regardless of whether they have a parent’s permission. The bill passed the House Health, Insurance and Environment Committee on Feb. 6, following a party-line vote of 6-5. The bill now heads to another House committee before it receives a full vote in the House.
tinguisher to put the fire out. He suffered severe burns to 80 percent of his body. No other students were harmed. The incident was not only shocking to students, but also to the Westminster Police Department and the community. “We never want this to happen at any school, especially one in our community,”
Investigator Cheri Spottke said. “It’s difficult. School should be a place for learning and a safe place, not a place where students have to deal with something like this for the rest of their lives.” The coroner will determine the exact cause of death. Nett’s family could not be reached for comment by press time.
Anniversary of 15-year unsolved homicide Staff report Paul Skiba, Sarah Skiba, and Lorenzo Chivers were reported missing 15 years ago on Feb. 7, 1999 and ultimately believed to have been murdered. This case looms over the families, friends, and detectives from the Westminster Police Department as an unsolved homicide. Years ago, nine-year old Sarah Skiba, her father Paul Skiba and his partner, Lorenzo Chivers, were murdered at a truck yard while they were moving people. Detectives believe their bodies were removed from the yard in a moving truck to an unknown location. To date their bodies have never been found. In this story the police don’t know why, how or who, but are certain someone
can at least answer one of those questions. Detectives are hoping that in the past 15 years the burden of carrying Sarah’s death has been too much for the killer and that he/she has told someone. At this point, police are looking for any information or detail that could help lead the police to where their bodies were dumped. Police hope that someone knows even the smallest piece of information that could help lead to the person or person responsible. Information can be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 720913-STOP (7867). Crime Stoppers offers a reward up to $2000.00 for any information leading to an arrest and prosecution. Detective Sergeant Matt Rippy can also be reached directly at 303-658-4347.

Presentations to inform residents on health care coverage
COOKING WITH
CHOCOLATE
By Ashley Reimers
areimers@coloradocommunitymedia. com For anyone interested, curious or even confused on the facts concerning the Affordable Care Act, Adams County Grassroots for Healthcare is hosting free informational presentations on the new health care system. Adams County Grassroots for Healthcare is partnering with Servicios de La Raza and Organizing for Action to host two local meetings, the first on Feb. 20 at Westminster United Methodist Church in Westminster and the second on Feb. 24 at Community Reach Center in Northglenn. Both presentations will be 4-7 p.m. and will also discuss Connect for Health Colorado, Colorado’s new online marketplace where individuals and families who don’t have insurance and small businesses can shop and compare costs and benefits of a number of different insurers and choose the best plans for them. Leading the presentations is Mirna Castro with Coalition for Culturally Appropriate Response and Enrollment Services. She is very familiar with the enrollment process and will help guide those who need some assistance. She will also provide an in-depth look at how the Affordable Care Act will affect Adams County residents, as well as give infor-
mation on the Medicaid expansion. “I’ve done many presentations already in the metro area, and so far the feedback has been positive,” she said. “People are leaving with more clarification in regards to where their household stands in terms of health insurance. And that’s what these presentations are for, to help people make the best choice for themselves or their families.” Castro said anyone is welcome to come to the presentations, even people who currently have health insurance. She said it’s a good opportunity for people to compare their current coverage with other insurers on Connect for Health Colorado. And for people who are prepared to enroll, health coverage guides with laptops will be on hand to help people navigate healthcare sites and sign up for coverage. “Many people are still confused when it comes to the Affordable Care Act. They don’t realize that they have to use the Connect for Health Colorado site to get signed up for coverage,” Castro said. “That’s what we are here for- to help people understand the process and figure out what coverage is best for them.” The presentations will be in both English and Spanish and light refreshments will be provided.

Teaching was not Mark Sass’ first career, it was his third. He spent time as a Ford truck mechanic and then as an advertising photographer before becoming a teacher. But a profession in the classroom was always in his blood. “My dad was a teacher, one sister is a teacher and the other sister is also in education,” he said. “So it just took me a little longer to get here.” Sass teaches social sciences at Legacy High School and is one of the founding teachers at the school. He said although he made lots of money as an advertising photographer, he wasn’t satisfied. He wanted a career where he could a make a difference. “I became a bit disenchanted as an ad photographer,” he said. “It wasn’t something where I felt I was making an impact on society. So I went to school and became a teacher.” Sass was recently chosen as only one of 13 teachers across the nation to be select-
ed as a 2014 Hope Street Group National Teacher Fellow. Throughout the year he and other fellows will collaborate with educators to collect data, share insights and provide recommendations for improving policies that impact teacher effectiveness and improve outcomes for students. Sass’ focus within policy will be hybrid roles for teachers. He currently works in a hybrid position, spending half his time at Legacy High School and the other half at Adams 12 district headquarters working on the implementation of Standards Based Graded in the district. “During this fellowship I want to look at how we can grow teacher leadership, while still allowing them to be in the classroom,” Sass said. “I want to help identify master teachers or mentor teachers who can lead professional development and find them that time to get involved in other roles, without having to leave the classroom fulltime.” This is Sass’ second fellowship program. Two years ago he was accepted into the Aspen Institute Teacher Leader two-year fellowship.

Sides gear up for fracking battle
Fight expected over possible November ballot measure By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com With a ballot measure looming that could determine the future of hydraulic fracking in Colorado, oil and gas industry leaders are preparing for a battle. “We’ve got a serious fight on our hands in 2014,” Tim Wrigley, president of the Western Energy Alliance said. Wrigley’s comments came during a Jan. 31 forum in downtown Denver, where leaders from the oil and gas industry and other business groups converged. The hour-long discussion focused on developing pro-industry voter outreach strategies Report in anticipation of a potential November ballot initiative that is being driven by anti-fracking advocates. Fracking is the mixing of water, sand and chemicals that are blasted deep into the surface to crack porous rock to free up blocked oil and gas. So far, five Colorado cities and more than 100 municipalities across the nation have either placed bans or other limits on the practice. The group behind the ballot proposal, the Colorado Community Rights Network, is the same organization that spearheaded last year’s successful ballot measure in Lafayette that banned any new oil and gas drilling there. If it makes it on to the ballot, the proposal — which was filed as a potential state constitutional amendment last month — would allow cities to block oil and gas development, as well as any other kind of business practice that could have harmful impacts on residents’ well-being. Organizers have until August to collect 86,105 valid signatures for the proposal to make it on the November ballot. Cliff Wilmeng of the Colorado Community Rights Network says the ballot proposal goes beyond allowing cities to ban fracking. “Oil and gas isn’t even mentioned in the amendment,” he said. “The motivation is to ensure communities are able to exercise fundamental democratic rights and self determination.” But the oil and gas industry knows exactly what the ballot proposal is all about — it’s a statewide effort that could have serious repercussions for the fracking business, something that they believe is a critically important industry practice. “The ground has shifted forever under our feet,” Wrigley said. “All eyes of the country are on our state now.”
Capitol
No easy answers
Debate over fracking proves that there are no easy answers when it comes to this highly polarizing issue. Anti-fracking activists argue that it can have long-term effects on the environment and can cause drinking water contamination. Those who are adamantly opposed to fracking say that research into its effects on health has only begun to scratch the surface, as researchers continue to learn new information about the practice.
For example, last week the University of Colorado released a study that indicates a higher percentage of birth defects among mothers who live near natural gas wells. But supporters of the industry insist that the practice is a safe one and one that creates jobs. They also point to statistics that show that fracking has made the U.S. less reliant upon foreign oil. “The facts are totally on our side,” Tisha Schuller, president of the Colorado Oil and Gas Association said. Schuller also told the forum that oil and gas money is so important to the state that 8 percent of Colorado’s economy would be at risk if the ballot measure proves successful. “It would be devastating,” she said. “It would take out Colorado’s economy immediately.” But Wilmeng said that the oil and gas industry is being “short-sided” on this issue, ignoring environmental threats, while corporate CEO’s pad their wallets. “If the oil and gas industry is so confident in their longevity and popularity in the state, they should defer the decision making to the people of Colorado,” he said.
The politics of fracking
Making the issue even more difficult are the complicated politics that surround it. Yes, polls show that most fracking supporters are Republicans and most who oppose the practice are Democrats. However, Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat and a geologist by trade, is a supporter of fracking. Schuller of COGA is a Democrat as well. Then there’s Fort Collins, located in Republican-leaning Larimer County, where voters last year put in place a fiveyear moratorium on fracking. Hickenlooper’s position on fracking has at times put him at odds with environmental advocates and members of his own party. He and his administration are co-plaintiffs in an oil and gas industry lawsuit against city of Longmont over its recent citizen-driven fracking ban. Hickenlooper’s administration’s position is that state law supersedes municipalities on matters like these. “The main frustration we have with Gov. Hickenlooper is that he has no respect for the fundamental right of democracy for the people of the state,” Wilmeng said. The Legislature has also been criticized by anti-fracking advocates for not doing enough on the issue. Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, said the Legislature has taken steps to address some of those concerns. She pointed to an increase in the number of well inspectors and said the state has set up infrared cameras meant to detect methane near drill sites. Carroll also mentioned a bill that is making its way through the Capitol that would require warnings on home purchase contracts, letting potential buyers know whether the land is on a split-estate property where drilling can occur. And she said that the Legislature could deal with local control issues as early as this session. At the same time, Carroll acknowledged the political realities associated with the fracking issue. “There’s other things that, for some of us personally or for our districts, would like to see done,” she said. “But like every other bill, it’s a vote counting-process. “Sometimes what’s popular or unpopular with the public isn’t the same as what’s popular or unpopular with elected officials in the building,” she said. “I think this is a case where there is pent-up frustration for failing to see enough move-
ment (at the Legislature) and I think it’s totally the prerogative of people at the local level to take issues into their own hands.” In the meantime, the fight over fracking continues and both sides are in the process of mapping out their strategies. Schuller urged fracking supporters to be sympathetic to the concerns of those who have doubts about the practice. “My overwhelming message is not about necessarily getting the facts out alone, this is about an empathetic connection, building trust for decades to come,” she said after last month’s forum. “Oil and gas has been here for 100 years and we’re going to be here for decades to come. How do we let people know that this has been done safely and effectively for communities for a very long time? That’s what we’re working on.” Wilmeng hopes that voters across the state connect to same message that rallied Lafayette voters — that the “unaccountable” oil and gas industry is engaging in a dangerous environmental practice that needs to be curbed. “We look at this as a movement,” he said of allowing local “self-determination” on matters such as fracking. “What we’re considering hasn’t been done in a very, very long time. There’s no question we’re moving forward on this.”

6-OPINION

February 13, 2014
opinions / yours and ours
Inspiration, hope for generations to come A high school student kills a classmate. Another sets himself on fire. Still another murders his mother. Those things happened in Denver’s suburbs in a recent six-week span. Across the country, media reports tell far and wide of teenagers doing something horribly wrong. But there are inspirational stories, too, stories of teen achievement, of overcoming obstacles. Typically, though, they don’t generate much media buzz outside of the immediate community. Recently, one did. Bailey Roby is an 18-year-old varsity basketball player for Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch. In late January, he found himself at the center of controversy because he runs the court on
our view two prosthetic legs. The Colorado High School Activities Association made a mid-season ruling that Roby’s appearances in games compromised his and other players’ safety. For several days, it looked like the fan favorite’s playing career was over. Still, he was poised to be there for his teammates. “Now, I just gotta sit on the bench and support (the team),” Roby said after the Jan. 24 game that, at the time, looked to be his last. “The most important thing is
being a part of the team.” We were the first media outlet to report on Roby’s plight, but far from the last. The story was covered by most of Denver’s print and digital media but also was picked up by, among many others, “Good Morning America” and the British newspaper the Daily Mail. Facebook and Twitter were abuzz as social media campaigns ignited by Mountain Vista students and community members pushed to get Roby back in the game. And that’s what happened. Upon further review, CHSAA decided Roby could play as long as both teams agreed to it. The idea that Roby represented a safety risk confounded many. “I don’t think Bailey is a hazard to anyone on the floor and certainly not to him-
self,” said Roby’s father, Scott. “He’s been in hundreds of practices and he played junior varsity last year. If he falls down, he gets back up.” Roby’s statistics certainly won’t draw all-state attention — he averages 1.4 points per game, with a season-high of 3, generally seeing action when the powerhouse Golden Eagles have a victory wrapped up. The state playoffs tip off in a couple of weeks and it’s likely Roby’s oncourt role will become even smaller. But he’ll be there if the team needs him. Just like his classmates and the community were there when he needed them. Teamwork. Overcoming obstacles. Getting up when you get knocked down. Teenagers learning life lessons. There’s plenty of good news out there.

OK, pipeline is warranted Enough already! The Keystone Pipeline Project should have been previously approved by President Barack Obama. The 875-mile pipeline, which would cross three states, would transport crude oil from Canadian tar sands to refining facilities on the Texas coast. It would further assure less dependence on Middle East crude oil as the U.S. further ramps up with domestic oil production. This is a “good thing” especially given the unrest in the Middle East, and it would strengthen our relationship with Canada. Unfortunately, the Keystone project has been a “political football” with environmental interests whispering in Obama’s ear.
Support for the pipeline
But things have changed. The state department recently gave the project the “green light” after a thorough review. And now, former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, who worked for the president, has publicly endorsed the project. What else do you want Mr. President — should the Pope bless it as well? While Salazar’s department was not responsible for the handling of the pipeline project, he toed the line alongside the president opposing the project. Now, that he is not “connected” to the White House, he has come out in favor of the project. So, “let’s move it, move it, move it.”
Packing heat
The “wild, wild West” is still with us here in Colorado. If you have been following the activity involving the Castle Rock Town Council, you would be aware that their Mayor Paul Donahue brought back the issue of “open carry” (of firearms) at city owned facilities and sites. The existing ordinance gave the town manager the authority to decide where gun owners could “open carry” on city property. I can see why he supports the new ordinance to allow “open carry” at all city properties and buildings. He wants off the hot seat and I don’t blame him! Such highly emotional and controversial issues should be decided by elected officials.
More Amendment 2 argument
In spite of recommendations to leave the existing law in place by the police chief, police department, city employees, the town’s public service commission and polarized public testimony on both side of the issue, the town board voted 4-3 to allow carrying guns on all town properties. Once again, I am thankful that the Westminster City Council is thoughtful and not going off the deep end to adopt such extreme policies. Under state law, municipalities can ban “open carry” on public property. Guns, hidden or in the open, don’t belong in City Hall, recreation/fitness centers, golf courses, parks, senior centers, libraries, police stations or on trails. I’m glad to live in Westminster and not Castle Rock!
A good idea
A good idea is winding its way through the current legislative session at the Gold Dome. A bill would allow Colorado community colleges to grant a limited number of four-year degrees. The focus would be on granting a four-year bachelor of applied science degree which would be tailored more toward specific technical and career paths. The community colleges would not be allowed to grant four-year bachelor of arts or science degrees. This is a good initial expansion for our community colleges which are spread around the state and offer a lower cost to attend college. I am glad to see that this time around CU, CSU and other 4-year colleges/universities are not opposing this practical idea. Let’s get the bill to the guv.

This is what a relationship requires Editor’s note: This is the second of a twopart series. In honor of Valentine’s week, here is a continuation of some of the basic intimacy skills a healthy relationship requires of us: Make your relationship a top priority. Don’t spend your “prime time” consistently preoccupied with other things, and don’t permit yourself to be too tired when you’re around your partner. Consistently show up both emotionally and physically. Take an active interest in the other person and his/ her feelings, hopes, hurts, angers and fears, and offer your emotional presence. You offer emotional presence by trying to deepen your understanding of your partner, and inviting him or her to talk about his/her struggles, aspirations and dreams. What does s/he worry about? Which activities, events or people bring him/her the most satisfaction in life? The most joy? The most pain? What is s/he most looking forward to? What are his/her goals and dreams over the next five years?
Express warmth and be physically affectionate on a consistent basis. Being “sweet,” using endearments, being romantic, affectionate touch, cards, gifts, flowers, compliments, date nights — don’t underestimate the power of these behaviors if they’re done consistently. Address problems in a civil and constructive way. Many people respond to a disagreement or hurt feelings with anger, rage, name-calling, sarcasm, harsh judgments, criticisms, threats, disrespectful behaviors or words, or defensiveness — which poisons the whole environment
between the two of you, and discourages open and honest communication. Make this mistake and your relationship will not be close, friendly or intimate. You cannot be disrespectful to another person and then expect closeness and affection. Listen for the longing behind your partner’s complaints. Some examples: “If we can’t control our spending, we’ll go bankrupt.” “We’re not having sex often enough.” “Life has too many chores and not enough fun.” In those examples, what would you guess that person is longing for? Yes, s/he might be asking for less spending, more sex and more fun, but s/he may also be longing for more of a financial partnership, more warmth, affection and romance, for a more equal division of chores and for more activities that you can enjoy together. If you address the longing rather than just the complaint, you are far more likely to fix the problem. Act loving: don’t just say the words: Nathaniel Branden, in his book Taking
Responsibility (Fireside), reminds us that if we are in a serious relationship, and I say “I Love You,” you have the right to expect that I will be interested in your thoughts and feelings, and that when you speak that I will give you a respectful and attentive hearing. Furthermore, if I say I love you, you have the right to assume that I will treat you kindly and benevolently, and that I will be an emotional support system for you in times of need or distress. I am not promising to always agree with you, but I am promising to be on your side, to give you empathy and compassion, and to treat your feelings and needs as important to me.

that they would be holding an unusual Saturday meeting to discuss personnel matters regarding the superintendent, many people, including me, assumed that meant the board was going to dismiss Stevenson early. Whatever the truth of that assumption, she rendered the point moot by announcing at the beginning of the meeting that she would be leaving by the end of February. The news headlines have been harsh: Superintendent forced out, announces resignation. And it’s that “forced” part that I have a hard time with. You can say this was what you were elected to do, and you can say that change is going to happen sooner rather than later. But I cannot grasp any substantive good that can come out of forcing this decision early; I don’t see how it makes the district stronger, or the students smarter, by leaving the
district without a leader while searching for her replacement. At the very least, I fail to see how disrespecting and dismissing a person who has spent more than 30 years of her life dedicated to serving the students of this district makes the district better, or enhances the credibility of the new Board of Education. It lacked style, and that will get in the way of substance going forward. If you’re trying to convince people that you are, in fact, NOT Darth Vader, you probably shouldn’t Force-choke to death the first person who disagrees with you.
Don’t force-choke one that disagrees About a year and a half ago, I wrote a column in which I advised that the power of a message is, at least partially, dependent on the credibility of the messenger. I said, contrary to my natural tendencies, that style matters, especially if your style causes people to completely look away from the substance of your message. In fact, one of my lines was “You want to talk education reform? Maybe you can start by NOT belittling the hard work of people who have dedicated their lives to working with children.” Oddly enough, I was kinda slapped upside the head by that line Saturday morning. Let’s start by acknowledging a couple of realities. The three majority members of the Jefferson County Board of Education were elected on a clear, conservative “reform” platform. They were also elected by very clear majorities in all three races. The people of Jefferson County spoke. But, there are other realities. In politics, perception is reality. One perception — fair or not — is that conservatives approach education in the same way that Darth Vader approached the news that the Millennium Falcon had escaped. I, for one, do not think that is the truth. I, as a conservative, love public education and believe very deeply in the value of the mission and the professionals who strive to carry it out. I also believe that the liberal monopoly on education policy and leadership for many years created a vacuum
of accountability and competitiveness, which ultimately led to high-stakes testing and charter schools and the whole reform movement. In other words, I think conservative voices have a valuable place in education policy-making, and I am glad that they have gotten in the game in the last 20 years. But there’s a good way to do things, and a bad way to do things. Cindy Stevenson announced her retirement from Jeffco shortly after this conservative board was elected, so we’ve all known for some time that she was leaving. After more than 30 years of service to the district, regardless of your opinion of her, it would seem good form dictates that leadership honor that service and, at least publicly, show respect for someone who has been at the helm through some tumultuous times. Instead, it is widely known that the board leaned on her and made it difficult to do her job. So when the board announced at the end of the regular Thursday meeting
Knowledge of pheasants The Colorado pheasant season closed on Jan. 31. For those who enjoy the challenge of upland bird hunting it is now time to case and store the shotguns and pick up the volunteer role and participate in spring Pheasants Forever (PF) programs. PF was organized in 1982 with headquarters in St. Paul, Minn. The organization has secured 5,000,000 acres of protected habitat for pheasant and all birds and wildlife. Today PF has over 125,000 members and 800 chapters in the US and Canada. PF promotes habitat conservation (the single most important element to sustain healthy numbers of pheasants); education for landowners and hunters alike; political lobbying; local events; national conference; youth programs to get kids outdoors and to hunt and publications distributed widely among PF members and outdoors public organizations. PF has partnered with Colorado’s Parks and Wildlife Division over the years to open private lands for public hunting under the State Walk-In Area Program and to foster and secure agricultural land habitat necessary for pheasants to nest and hatch, insects for food sources, and security from predators. Gary Tuttle, PF volunteer, advised that “spring is that time of year the local PF chapters hold their annual fund raising events, banquets and information and educational programs. Silent and live auctions
provide needed funds for the PF chapter activities.” The February and March chapter events include the Greeley Chapter banquet Feb. 22, 5 p.m. at Island Gove Regional Park in Greeley; Northern Colorado Chapter annual banquet at the Ellis Ranch in Loveland and Metro Denver Chapter’s March 29 banquet at Arapahoe County Fairgrounds. Each banquet will offer bidders and raffle ticket holder’s chances to win shot guns, gun safes, hunting clothing and gear and day hunts. According to Tuttle, “a Youth Day program is scheduled for Saturday, March 1, with food, safety training, hats and vests and a chance to learn trap shooting by experts. Youth 10-16 are welcome with parents.” Contact PF representative Gary Tuttle at 303-653-5584 for additional information. Outdoors writer Ron Hellbusch can be reached at Ron-Hellbusch@comcast.net.

40 West Arts show examines fiber art By Clarke Reader
creader@ coloradocommunity media.com The world of fiber art is one that stretches back as far as antiquity, yet is still evolving and changing. The 40 West Arts District’s latest show, “Unraveled — Fiber Re-imagined” celebrates the art form and all its history and evolution. The show will be up at the district’s gallery, 1560 Teller, until Feb. 27. The gallery is open Tuesday through Friday from 1 to 4 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. “We’re looking to do more edgy shows in 2014 and thought what can we do with a fiber show,” said Bill Marino, executive director of the Lakewood-West Colfax Business Improvement District. “There’s a niche out here for this kind of art it is something we’ve never done before.” Like all of 40 West’s shows, the idea came about from the district’s exhibition committee, which is made up of 40 West members and artists who want to participate and help shape the direction the district explores. “We were brainstorming potential shows and the goal was to come up with at least two to three shows that are in the doing something cutting edge and fiber is something I submitted,” said Richard Eversley, who curated the show and worked with the jurors to develop the vision. “I thought this is a group of artists that are a bit
underserved and could use the space.” According to Julie Byerlein, a member of the board for the district and a volunteer with its champion group, the show features submissions from artists from all over the country, thanks to 40 West’s efforts in reaching out to a diverse range of colleges and art schools.

There are also a variety of textile techniques used by artists — from woven, knitted and crocheted metal to handmade paper, beads, embroidery and quilting. The show is juried by Wendy Franzen and Sara Rockinger, both of whom are well known in the fiber arts community. “As the curator you’re kind of like a neutral person, helping the artists with questions and logistics while making the decisions on space and installation,” Eversley said. According to Eversley, there are a lot of things to be excited about in regards to the show, not the least of which is the

Preserving
Adult Day Service offers families peace of mind In May of 2004 The Senior Hub opened the first local Adult Day Service available to Adams County and the North Metro area communities. Our first client walked through our doors on June 8. From the very beginning there was a sense of community with the program. The Denver Regional Council of Governments, local municipalities and numerous community funders were exceptionally supportive of this endeavor. Our success far exceeded our projections as we doubled our expected number of clients for 2004 in just six months. We served 21 people in 2004 but more importantly we were able to provide 2,195 hours of respite to their caregivers. The Adult Day Service program has grown up but we are still the quaint program we started 10 years ago, providing care and connecting with local seniors while providing over 24,000 hours of respite in 2013. We still rely on the generosity of volunteers
and donations to keep our program running. Everyday, when you walk into the Adult Day Service you will find laughter, friendship and camaraderie amongst the participants and staff. Our Adult Day Service has expanded nicely into our space at 10190 Bannock St. Suite 104 in Northglenn, where we have a spacious, bright and welcoming facility. We continue to provide high quality activities, daily exercise and nutritious meals all in a setting that feels like home. During a recent tour of our program a family caregiver said, “Wow, this is such a great place, I wish I could spend the day here. It is so homey and welcoming, I know mom will feel comfortable.” And she does. The participants we serve have varied needs, from Alzheimer’s and dementia to stroke and diabetes. We are able to meet each person’s needs individually. The truth is that when someone gets older they do not stop being themselves; they may just need a little more support
or assistance to maintain their independence and sense of self. At The Senior Hub Adult Day Service it is not our goal to have people conform to our program and activities. We are here to meet their needs and conform in the best way we can to who they are as a person and whatever their needs may be. As we complete our tenth year of service, we are proud to be keeping up with the trends in senior care, while staying true to our mission as an agency. Our seniors and their families can expect to see active programs that support mind, body and spirit that encourage our participants to stretch their limbs and their minds helping them to remain as sharp and fit as they are able. Which is why at The Senior Hub Adult Day Service you will find a wide variety of activities to meet the interests of our folks from all backgrounds, walks of life and abilities. Our activity professionals go to great lengths to research and plan exciting
and interesting activities based on current topics as well as past interests of the participants. Our monthly calendars integrate memory activities right next to utilizing technology and gaming systems to help keep the blood circulating. As we continue to look to the future we envision expanding the program to include new ways to engage our participants and keep them as healthy and active as they are physically able. You can expect The Senior Hub Adult Day Service to always change with the times, provide high quality personalized care to the seniors and their families while we continue to maintain our small community and remain connected to those we serve. As we look back at the past ten years we are so grateful to the families who have entrusted their loved ones to our care, and to the countless supporters of our program who without their dedication, we would not be the success we are today. Stop in and visit our

Chamber of Commerce catching attention of local businesses By Ashley Reimers
areimers@coloradocommunitymedia. com Since its official launch last December, the Westminster Chamber of Commerce has grown to over 60 new business members. ACCORDING TO the website, http://westminsterchamber. biz, the chamber was developed to promote, support and connect member businesses and organizations to the residents of Westminster through technology, cooperation and community. CEO and president Jennifer Shannon said since the initial kick-off event, she’s been pleasantly surprised by the growth. She owns a small accounting and book keeping business, so being part of a citywide chamber not only benefits other small business but also herself. “I wanted something affordable to people like me who have a small business,” she said. “I thought about how I could do things differently than other bigger chambers that could really benefit home-based small businesses as well as bigger business. That’s why we have the price point we do.” Membership prices start at $20 for an individual membership, move up to $50 for a business membership, and finally to $100 for a VIP business membership with each level offering a variety of benefits. The chamber does not have a store-front at this time and is only operating virtually, but according to chamber board member and city councilman Bob Briggs that will change once enough businesses join. Briggs and Shannon, who met in 2011, both agreed on the need for an organization to represent Westminster as an entirety. “We need some organization that promotes the city as a whole, on both sides of the magical line called Sheridan Boulevard,” Briggs said.
Since the launch, the Westminster Chamber’s offered a variety of networking opportunities and events with the next one scheduled for Feb. 20, which is a business after-hours event at Quaker Steak and Lube. Shannon said she’s hoping to increase the number of events and expand them to eventually offer a Taste of Westminster event to happen this spring. She’s also hoping to partner with other area chambers. “Bob and I hope to partner with the Arvada Chamber and refer things back and forth with each other,” she said. “I would be more than happy to work with them and other chambers.” Kathryn Lautner, an independent Legal Shield associate, is a recent Westminster Chamber member. She said she joined the chamber in an effort to be part of the community and build relationships with other local businesses in a more intimate setting. “When I first got started in Legal Shield I joined the Metro North Chamber, and it was just a little too big for me,” she said. “This chamber seems like a smaller group, one where I could really meet other people.” Kathy Wilbur, a Mary Kay independent sales director, also wanted the community feel in a chamber. She said if the Westminster Chamber is willing to support a small business, than she’s willing to support the chamber. Currently the Westminster Chamber is not endorsed by the City of Westminster, which endorses the Metro North Chamber of Commerce, but Shannon is hoping that eventually changes. “As our membership numbers grow, we may petition the city council to recognize us,” she said. “I have no interest in the city severing any ties, I just want to be considered an `and’ not just an `or.’”

Charter renewed for The Academy By Ashley Reimers
areimers@coloradocommunitymedia. com The Academy in Westminster will be part of the Adams 12 Five Star School District for at least another two years. The fate of the school’s charter renewal was decided by the school board during the Feb. 5 board meeting. The board voted to extend the charter for a two-year period from July 1 through June 30, 2016. The board also voted to automatically extend the charter an additional three more years if the school complies with all

shouted questions about the board’s transparency, expressed adoration for Stevenson and eventually chanted to recall Witt, Williams and Newkirk. Due to the crowd at district headquarters, the meeting was quickly relocated to the large meeting room before it began. “It makes me sick to my stomach that we’re losing such a quality leader in the middle of the school year, who already, graciously resigned her position in June,” said Karstin Sutton, an English teacher at Lakewood High School. Following Stevenson’s announcement, the board attempted to resume its scheduled agenda regarding the district budget, but the audience wouldn’t quiet down. Stevenson addressed the audience, and prior to switching topics, board members Lesley Dahlkemper and Jill Fellman expressed concerns about the workings of the new board. “We just found out about this information this morning,” said Dahlkemper. “This is what becomes the headline, and it’s not about the kids, it’s not about our promises as a board or our student achievement, it’s
financial issues. The Academy owed the district $1.4 million for funds the district expended on the school’s behalf during the 2013 fiscal year. That debt was paid in full by Jan. 31. The Academy still owes the district $600,000 for the 2014 fiscal year, which will be repaid through a payment plan. According to the repayment plan, the school must play $200,000 by June. 30 and the remaining $400,000 will be paid in monthly installments between July 1 and Dec. 31. If The Academy complies with all financial payments, the charter will be renewed the additional three years, extending the charter to 2019.
not about ensuring we have a strong, effective leader in place, it’s about backroom discussions.” Witt asked for a recess, and the three newly elected members appeared ready to walk out, but hesitated and, after conferring with legal counsel and security, Witt adjourned the meeting. He immediately left the building with Newkirk. While they packed up, the crowd shouted “Recall, recall, recall,” and “We love you, Cindy.” Williams attempted to console a tearful Stevenson prior to leaving. Witt, Newkirk and Williams were not available for comment after the meeting. “I think it’s political, and he (Witt) wants control of the district, and she (Stevenson) pushes back on it,” Fellman said. “I am a big supporter of Dr. Stevenson. She’s led our district to some great places, and we’re leading the pack, and she led us there.” Stevenson, who has had a long career in Jeffco Schools, including 12 years as superintendent, will be on administrative leave until the details of her termination are finalized. “Please remember, we have a tradition of excellence, and we need to sustain that over the next couple of weeks,” Stevenson said. “It’s not going to be easy, but together we can do it.”
“I just need to know that there is a commitment from the school to be willing to get this stuff dialed in, and to not have to talk about this in another two years,” board president Mark Clark said. “I don’t have a problem with two more years if in compliance.” The other board members agree with Clark and the commented on the automatic extension. Norm Jennings said The Academy is a benefit academically to the district, and believes if the school complies financially, there is no reason why the charter shouldn’t be automatically extended. “The Academy’s academic performance merits a long-term commitment to us,” he
said. “The school is a great partner for us once the financial issues are done.” After the decision David Floodeen, executive director for The Academy, thanked the board for their final decision. The Academy, at 11800 Lowell Blvd. in Westminster, first applied for charter authorization in February 1994. In 2000, the district entered into a renewed contract with The Academy from July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2005, followed by another charter renewal until 2009. The current contract period is July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2014. The school has two campuses and serves students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

Norjans place second at league championships

e
The Northglenn/Thornton Norjans girls swim team scored 374 points for a second place finish at the East Metro Athletic Conference league championships Feb. 7-8 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton. Westminster came in sixth place with 149 points. Norjans senior Rachel Vigil qualified for the state meet in the 100-yard breaststroke in the preliminaries. The state time is a 1:13.30 and Vigil swam the event in 1:13.27, something she’s been trying to accomplish for four years. “I’ve finally done it, which is awesome,” Vigil said. “When I looked up at the clock, I was amazed. It was amazing.” Vigil beat her prelim time in the finals at 1:13.04 and won first place in the event. Vigil said she could tell she got the time by all the cheering that was going on around her. “Usually everybody around me screams and it stops once I miss it but it didn’t stop,” Vigil said. “It was crazy.” Talia Passarelli won first place in the 100yard freestyle finals with a time of 55.63 and won second place in the 50-yard freestyle at 25.50. Passarelli will compete at state in those two events, including the 200-yard individual medley relay, which the Norjans qualified for earlier in the season. The medley also includes Vigil, Hannah Goldstein and Maddy Burney. Burney came in second place in the 200yard freestyle and sixth place in the 100 free. Goldstein finished the 100-yard butterfly in second place and Shayna Goldstein finished in seventh place in the 200-yard individual medley. Senior Katie Morey placed seventh in the

Asiah Stutz improved her preliminary score on the diving board in finals from 179.70 points and fifth place to 241.50 points and third place. Vigil said in order to prepare for the state meet she has to make sure everything about her breaststroke is perfect. Her goal is to not come in last. “I barely made the time, but I would love
to make it back to finals at state,” Vigil said. Westminster’s Jenna Olemeda, Cambria Redmond, Quiana Honeysette and Claudia Domenico came in fifth place in the 200yard medley relay. Redmond was the eighth place finisher in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:54.38 and placed fourth in the 100 breast. Wolves Koraima Flores placed seventh in the 100 fly at 1:23.66 and Honeysette finished in 1oth. Flores came in 14th in the 200 free.
The 400-yard freestyle relay of Flores, Sierra Rodriguez, Cyndall Bryant and Casandra Vigil came in sixth place at 5:04.34. Domenico finished the 50 free in 30.60 in 13th place. Olemeda was 16th in the 100 free, 11th in the 100 back and Emily Dyrdal was 15th in the 500 free. The 200 free relay, which consists of Vigil, Honeysette, Sonia Ruiz and Sage Tackett, came in sixth place. The state meet is Feb. 13 and 14 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton.
Thornton captures fifth place at league Pinnacle defeats
kIPP Denver after loss
Northglenn places seventh, Westminster finishes in 10th
Timberwolves are now 8-1 in league

kferraro@coloradocommunitymedia.com Thornton wrestling had eight wrestlers place in the top 6 at the East Metro Athletic Conference league championships Feb. 8 at Thornton High School. Josh Cordova, 170-pounder, was the EMAC Champion in his weight class when he pinned Prairie View’s Alex Munoz with 10 seconds left in the match. Cordova had two byes then beat Brighton’s Ramon Alverez 10-4 in the third round. “He probably had the most exciting match of the whole tournament,” Thornton head coach Jeremy DeHerrera said of Cordova. “He’s just one of those kids that I pulled off the street last year. I got him to come out and he won 25 matches last year as a freshman and first year wrestler.” DeHerrera said Cordova has around 29 wins this year and has a very good chance of qualifying for state at regionals. He said all his losses are against wrestlers who are ranked in the state. Wendell Berry won third place in the 113-pound weight class beating Hinkley’s Rafael Garibay, 2-0. Adrian Kois, 145, and Carlos Moreno, 160, also won third place 2-0 and 9-2, respectively. Antonio Gonzales, 195, pinned Brighton’s Tomas Sanchez for third place.

Photo by Kate Ferraro Jalen Montoya, 120, won 6-2 for fifth place. Josh Miscles, 106, placed sixth losing to Prairie View’s Connor Morales. Northglenn’s Maurisio Garcia, 120, won first place by pinning Adam City’s Josiah Vigil. Garcia pinned Brighton’s Taurino Villalobos, Guido Umgwaneza from Aurora Central and Thornton’s Jalen Montoya throughout the tournament. Rocky Nava, 113, lost in the championship match to Prairie View’s Santana Salas, 7-2. Michael Garcia, 126, also lost in the championship match to Brighton’s Raymond Baca, 17-4. Robert Burger, 106, won third place beating Aurora Central’s Axel Pacheco, 11-3. “It was a good way for our wrestlers to understand where they are in the mix of things,”
Northglenn assistant coach Eubaldo Lovato said. “We’re still a young team so we have a lot of growth to catch up on. Overall, this was a great tournament for us.” Westminster’s Jacob Thomas, 182, lost to Aurora Central’s Travyone Crosby 11-5 for fourth place. Jordan Chavez was pinned by Prairie View’s Matt McConnell for fourth place. Joe Bryan, 126, pinned Rangeview’s Tyler Shavilier for fifth place. Isaiah Villareal, 170, won fifth place from a bye. Angel Baltierra, 113, placed sixth after losing to Brighton’s Jared Garcia. Both Thornton and Northglenn will compete at regionals Feb. 14 and 15 at Cherokee Trail in Aurora. Westminster will wrestle at Bear Creek in Arvada.
After losing their first league of the season Feb. 4, Pinnacle boys basketball came back the next night to beat KIPP Denver 73-56 at Pinnacle High School. The Timberwolves hadn’t lost a league game in a year and a half until they were defeated by Jefferson 71-56 in the Saints gym. “That one hurt a lot,” senior guard Chase Gonzales said. “What last night does is it grounds you. It brings you back to earth. It shows you that if you don’t come out every game and play, you can lose any game. Last night shots weren’t falling, but that’s no excuse to give up 71 points.” The Timberwolves (12-3, 8-1) were 17 for 55 from the field against Jefferson. Head Coach Lou Vullo said the loss was disappointing, but he thought the league loss was an experience the team could learn from. “We needed a wake-up call like that,” Vullo said. “They needed something like that to shake them up a little bit and have them realize that you can be beat.” Despite the defeat, Pinnacle returned to their home court the next night and captured a victory against
KIPP Denver. A physical game, Pinnacle had 11 fouls against them just in the first half alone compared to KIPP Denver’s seven. Most of the Tigers’ points came from the free throw line. Vullo said he likes to teach his team to play aggressively to prepare them for playoffs. “That’s the way we like to play, because we know down the stretch if we can get to the state tournament, all the teams there play very physical so we’ll be ready for that,” Vullo said. Following an even first quarter with Pinnacle only being ahead 2013, the Timberwolves picked up the pace and led 43-25 at halftime. Pinnacle scored 21 points in the third quarter to secure the 64-40 advantage and the 73-56 win at the end of the fourth quarter. Gonzales scored a game-high 29 points for the Timberwolves and junior Josh Brown scored 12 points. Senior David Pinela had 11 rebounds. Pinnacle was 32 for 43 from the field against KIPP Denver. “He’s a big part of our team,” Vullo said of Gonzales. “He gives us a spark when we need them. When the team starts to get undisciplined, he knows how to talk to them and be a leader.” The Timberwolves will end their regular season at home Feb. 14 against Middle Park and Feb. 18 against Denver Science & Tech Stapleton.

Flags will fly National flag football league to be offered this spring to north metro youngsters By Ashley Reimers
areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com
A new youth flag football league is coming to the Front Range area providing a fun and educational sports experience. National Flag Football, the largest youth flag football organization in the nation, will debut this spring in eight locations, two in the north metro area, one at Five Star Stadium in Thornton and the other at Broomfield High School. The league provides girls and boys ages 4-14 the opportunity to learn the game of football in a safe and fun environment, focusing on the aspect of having fun and sportsmanship. “We are so excited to have our first season in Colorado,” said Francis Meram, Executive Director of National Flag Football. “With the history of football in Colorado, we knew coming to a state filled with die-hard Broncos fans would be a good fit.” What differentiates the National Flag Football from other leagues Meram says is the level of professionalism the league promotes, including the use of the best possible stadiums and the hiring of Colorado High School Activities Association, CHSAA, officials to referee games. He said all players will receive an official National Football League jersey representing one of the NFL teams, excluding the Seattle Seahawks. “Flag football is our only sport so all of our focus in on teaching kids the game of football,” he said. “We want to hire the most qualified referees and we want to be the best at what we do.” Meram said good sportsmanship among players, coaches and parents is of utmost importance. Before the start of the season, a coaches meeting is conducted laying out the rules and the philosophy of the league: education, participation and good sportsmanship. Parents are also informed of the philosophy. And when it comes to girls playing with boys, parents can expect their daughters to be treated equally. “About ten percent of the players are girls and a lot of the time the girls play better than the boys because of their natural athletic talent,” Meram said. “Because it’s not tackle football, there are no barriers or boundaries between the boys and the girls. Everyone can come out and play at the Jobsame Number: level.” 00062187 Games TANNER are played GUN once a week in a five-on-five forCustomer: mat on a 60-yard field. Practices will happen an hour beSHOW Inc. fore each game. The spring league begins the first week of Phone: (303)550-8822 April and ends the first week of June. Registration is open through Feb. 28 at www.nationalflagfootball.com. Games and practices at Five Star Stadium will be on Saturdays and on Sundays at Broomfield High School.

WESTMINSTER POLICE BRIEFS Child abuse, no injury: An officer was dispatched Feb. 5 at 2:49 p.m. to the 8200 block of Federal Blvd. in reference to a child abuse in progress. Dispatch advised that the reporting party had gone to the residence where the door was opened by a 5-year-old boy who said he was home alone. The officer and reporting party knocked on the door, this time getting no response. After knocking again and calling out the boy’s name, and still getting no response, they opened the unlocked door and entered, announcing themselves. They found the boy sitting on a sofa and watching TV. He was huddled under a blanket and was shivering. While the reporting party covered the boy with a second blanket, the officer checked the rest of the apartment, finding nobody else inside. The child said that his mother went to pick up his siblings at a nearby school, but he wanted to stay home and watch a movie. The officer noticed the mother had left her cell phone, but it was locked. When asked what he would do if he needed help while alone, the boy responded, “I don’t know.” When the officer went outside to go to his patrol car for a moment, he saw a woman carrying a baby and two young children walking behind her. She identified herself as the mother of the boy left alone. They entered the apartment where the officer told her they were with the boy for almost
50 minutes. The mother agreed that it was a bad decision on her part. The officer didn’t observe anything in the apartment that would be cause for concern as far as the welfare of the children. The apartment appeared to be clean, there were beds and clothing for each child, and the children all appeared to be healthy and happy. After explaining to the mother the dangers of leaving such a small child home alone, the officer issued her a summons and released her on the scene. Cruelty to animals, animal bite: An officer was dispatched Feb. 1 at 2:27 p.m. to the 2800 block of 116th Place in reference to an animal welfare check. A Facebook friend of a 40-year-old woman became alarmed when the woman made posts referring to her beating and killing one of her dogs and threatening to kill the other dog as well. The officer looked at the woman’s Facebook page and found several posted comments referencing her beating her dogs and killing one, then drinking liquor and taking sleep medication before driving. He saw a photo of one of the dogs with the letters “RIP.” These Facebook statements were printed out and later booked into evidence. When the officer responded to the address, he contacted another officer who had been dispatched after the woman’s fiancé reported an incident in which he witnessed the woman beating both her dogs.
SCHOOL NOTES D50 in the running for grant
Adams County School District 50 is in the running for a Bill & Melinda Gates Innovation Grant that could one day bring an additional $100,000 to every school in the district to focus on Next Generation Learning to help students prepare for careers of the future. District 50 has joined with Colorado Springs School District 11, Thompson School District, The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) and the Colorado Legacy Foundation to compete for the grant. The Colorado Legacy Foundation is a seven-year-old non-profit educational organization supporting education efforts in Colorado. If awarded, the grant will help to tackle what has become known as the Colorado Paradox. Because Colorado is such a desirable place to live, the state has a highly educated work force made up of people moving to Colorado. At the same time the state does not produce enough highly
qualified graduates to fill the need.
STEM school hosting parent night Colorado STEM Academy, at 7281 Irving Street in Westminster, is hosting a parent information night 6-7 p.m. on Feb. 13 for families interested in attending the school for the 2014/2015 school year. Parents will have the opportunity to learn about specific curriculum and programs, tour the school, learn about the application process and ask important questions about CSA. CSA opened in August to grades 3-6 and will expand to 3-7 next year and 3-8 the following year. A STEM education offers a rigorous program focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math which experts say will be the most indemand skills in the years ahead. To learn more about the school and the enrollment process visit www.costemacademy.org.
He added that one of the dogs may have been hit with a hammer. The officers could see that the dog in the Facebook photo was not dead and appeared to be in good health with no obvious signs of injury or illness. When the woman was questioned about the dogs, she said she had joint custody of the dogs with her ex-husband, who was on his way back to Kansas with the bigger dog. When asked why she lied on Facebook about the dog being dead, she said that the dog had run away again and that her ex-husband would be angry that she lost the dog. When asked how she disciplines the dogs, the woman said she spanks them and sometimes hits a table with a hammer to scare them. She said she never struck the dogs with it. The fiancé, however, said he witnessed her hitting the dogs a lot and it became a scary thing to watch. She hit the dogs three or four times each day, using her hands and a metal rod on their rear ends. She sometimes put the dogs outside on the balcony with no access to shelter from the cold temperatures. The woman was reportedly bitten by the larger dog before it was taken to Kansas by her ex-husband. The officer took a written statement from the fiancé and was shown the hammer and metal rod. The officer saw that the rod was bent and impounded it for evidence. Based on the fiancé’s and woman’s own statements, as well as the Facebook posts, the officer made the deci-
sion to impound the dog for a hold until court. Prior to transporting the dog, the officer had a veterinarian examine it. The dog was found to be in good health and normal condition with no obvious injury. The woman was issued a summons and released. The officer then contacted the ex-husband to tell him the smaller dog was alive but was placed on a court hold. He was told that his larger dog needed to be placed on a 10-day bite quarantine after biting his ex-wife’s hand. He agreed to keep the dog quarantined at home. He then told the officer that he cried all night after being told the smaller dog had been killed, and said he would like to end the joint custody and have that dog back. The officer said he would advise the courts of his ownership status to see if he could take custody of both dogs. Theft: A 24-year-old Northglenn woman was arrested Jan. 31 at 1:45 p.m. after she tried to steal $457 in merchandise from JCPenney at 5453 88th Ave. The woman was issued a summons and released. The merchandise was recovered by the store. Items in the police reports are compiled from public information contained in police department records. Charges or citations listed don’t imply guilt or innocence, and all people are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) If you still have a problem getting that information gap closed, you might consider asking a higher authority to resolve the matter, leaving you free to move on to another project. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) A family matter needs to be dealt with at the start of the week. Once it’s resolved, the big Cat can devote more attention to that new opportunity that seems to hold so much potential. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Pay attention to those niggling doubts. They could be warning you not to make any major decisions until you’ve checked them out -- especially where money matters might be involved. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A business venture might need more of your attention than you are able to provide. Consider asking a trusted friend or family member to help you work through this time crunch. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A more-positive aspect helps you get a clearer focus on how to handle your time so that you can deal with several responsibilities that are just now showing up on your schedule. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A very close friend (you know who that is!) has advice that could help you work through a confusing situation. So put your pride aside and ask for it. You’ll be glad you did. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A workplace situation could turn a bit tense. The best way to handle it is to confront it and deal with it openly. Doing so can help reveal the underlying reasons for the problem. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A colleague’s remarks appear to be especially cutting. but don’t waste your time or your energy trying to deal with the situation. You have more important things to do. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Support for your work comes as a surprise from someone you thought was critical or, at least, indifferent. Your spouse or partner has big plans for the weekend.

Proposed Change. 6.1. Use. Central seeks to change the use of the 30 shares to include augmentation, recharge, replacement and exchange, with the right to totally consume the consumable portion of the water, either by first use, successive use, or disposition. Specifically the shares may be used as a source of substitution and replacement supply in the plans for augmentation in Case No. 02CW335 and Case No. 03CW99 for replacing well depletions and return flows. Fully consumable water associated with the water delivered under the 30 shares and released for augmentation use may also be rediverted and delivered to recharge or storage, either directly or by exchange consistent with the terms and conditions of Central storage and recharge decrees including but not limited to Case Nos. 81CW382, 83CW184, 85CW370, 87CW304, 92CW021, 94CW199, 01CW48, 02CW270, 05CW331.

The farm headgate delivery attributable to the Shares averaged a total of 91.2 acrefeet assuming a 20% ditch loss for the ditch. 6.5. Historic Consumptive Use. The historic consumptive use was determined using a study period of 1950 to 2003 for the Reisbeck Farm and 1950 to 2002 for the McQueary Farm. The consumptive use of the Shares was determined to be an average of 51.7 acre feet per year based on irrigation of the 34.84 acres. The average consumptive use per share was 1.7 acre-feet. 6.6. Returns. Total lagged return flows were 39.9 acre-feet per year. The timing of lagged returns was determined using AWAS software and the Glover Methodology. Return flows accrue to GMS Reach F for both farms. Return flows accrue to WAS Reach F2 for the Reisbeck Farm and F3 for the McQueary Farm. Central proposes that the monthly return flow factors below be applied to the measured augmentation station deliveries of the shares delivered from the ditch from March through October. The winter return flows will be determined using the November through February factors times the previous years’ annual augmentation deliveries of the Shares. Historic returns are hereby re-appropriated by Central and will be maintained only for calls and decreed water rights senior to the date of the filing of this application. Return flows will be maintained by using a portion of the Shares or any Central water rights authorized for such use. 30 Shares Fulton Ditch Company Return Flow Factors Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Summer 39.6% 18.6% 16.4% 16.0% 21.8% 40.0% 91.1% Winter 3.5% 3.0% 2.6% 4.6% 4.1% 7.Administration.

(2) Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation: Depletions from the withdrawal of the Subject Lower Arapahoe Rights shall be augmented from two sources: return flows from the use of the Subject Lower Arapahoe Rights on the Subject Lots; and the reservation of 7.93 acre-feet per year of the Laramie-Fox Hills groundwater rights adjudicated by the Prior Decrees. (3) Statement of Augmentation Plan: (3.1) Estimated Diversions: Applicants plan to use the 7.93 acre feet per year of the Subject Lower Arapahoe Rights to supply single-family residences and a church on the Subject Lots. Applicants anticipate that this ground water shall be used as follows: 4.35 acre-feet per year for indoor domestic use associated with single-family residences and church operations; and 3.58 acre-feet per year for irrigation associated with single family residences. Applicants reserve the right to amend the forgoing estimates without amending this Application or republishing the same. (3.2) Return Flows: Wastewater treatment for indoor uses will be provided by on-site sewage disposal systems. Approximately 10% of the water diverted for indoor use will be consumed, leaving 90% to return to the affected stream systems. Of the ground water applied to irrigation use, 85% is estimated to be consumed, with 15% constituting return flows. Of the 7.93 acre-feet per year of Lower Arapahoe aquifer ground water to be used, 4.46 acre-feet per year are estimated to accrue as return flows. (3.3)Replacement of Depletions During Pumping: During pumping of the Subject Lower Arapahoe Rights, Applicants will replace annual depletions to the affected stream pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(9). Using the state’s model, depletions will occur to the Big Dry Creek and the South Platte River. Return flows will accrue to the South Platte River basin. The Subject Lower Arapahoe Rights are located more than one mile from any point of contact between any natural stream including its alluvium. During 300 years of pumping, taking account of Adams County’s 300-year water supply rule, Applicant must replace 4% of withdrawals to the South Platte River basin, which equals 0.32 acre feet per year, which will be accomplished by the above-described return flows. (3.4) Replacement of Post Pumping Depletions: Following the cessation of pumping, the maximum annual South Platte Basin depletions will be approximately 0.21 acre-feet. Applicants shall reserve a total of 2,379 acre feet of the Laramie-Fox Hills Rights (7.93 acre feet per year times 300 years) to replace post-pumping depletions. (4) No Injury: This plan for augmentation will not result in injury to any vested water right or decreed conditional water right. (5) Owners of Overlying Land: Applicants, Save-A-Child, Inc., and Gary L. Wagner were the owners of all of the overlying land at the time of Prior Decrees. Applicants have conveyed a number of the Subject Lots to third parties but have retained the groundwater rights described in this Application. The requested plan for augmentation will benefit the Subject Lots. Request for Approval of Changes in Water Rights. (6) Proposed Changes: The Prior Decrees establish separate well fields for the Lower Arapahoe aquifer groundwater rights that are the subject of each of the respective decrees. By this change, Applicants request that they be entitled to withdraw such groundwater through wells constructed anywhere on the Subject Property to, in effect, combine the two Lower Arapahoe aquifer well fields established in the Prior Decrees. Similarly, the Prior Decrees establish separate well fields for the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer groundwater rights that are the subject of each of the respective decrees. By this change, Applicants request that they be entitled to withdraw the 2,379 acre feet of such groundwater that are reserved for post-pumping augmentation, as described above, through a well or wells constructed anywhere on the Subject Property to, in effect, combine the two Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer well fields established in the Prior Decrees with respect to such groundwater. (7) Name and address of owner of land on which points of diversion and place of use are located: (7.1) Applicants. (7.2) Robert Noble Fleming Living Trust, 13965 Florence Court, Brighton, CO 80602; Paul A. Wewel and Dianna F. Wewel, 9885 E. 138th Place, Brighton, CO 80602; PJDS Family Trust, 9845 E. 138th Place, Brighton, CO 80602.
