Art students earn high marks in art contest

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Jessica LaMere came to Pinnacle Charter School nine years ago, a high school art program was nonexistent. But now, the program she created is thriving and expanding, allowing students to flourish in their artistic abilities.

“Our program is now expanding, which is amazing,” she said. “We have a second art teacher who is part time, but will be full time next year so that’s really awesome. It’s really nice to have two teachers because we can offer more to the kids.”

Four Pinnacle High School students’ talents were recently honored in the Scholastic Art Contest, which provides students across the nation the opportunity to showcase their artwork and earn college scholarships. Senior Karina Yapor and junior Lizzeth Guiterezz were both Gold Key winners and seniors Antonio Saavedra and Tiffany Garcia were both Silver Key winners.

Yapor’s piece called “She’s an Angel,” which is a portrait of her German Shepard, earned her a $20,000 college scholarship. The news left her speechless.

“I was shocked when I found out I had won, I didn’t really know what it meant,” Yapor said.

“I was excited to just win something. I was jumping around and almost fell down my stairs.”

Creating art is an escape for both Yapor and Guiterezz. They use the opportunity to draw or paint as their outlet into another

world, one all their own. Guiterezz said she’s not sure of her plans after high school, but does know art will always be in her life.

For Yapor, she’s hoping to be an art teacher or illustrator, or both.

“I am going to Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design for sure,” she said. “I really want to be an art teacher because Ms. LaMere really inspires me and a lot of people say that when I help them, I make it a lot easier for them.”

LaMere couldn’t be more proud of her students. She says the best part of her job is working with students who have a passion for art and are driven to turn that passion into a career. She works with students to build their portfolios and helps them create a plan of attack after high school.

“I really get a lot of fulfillment out of helping the students who want to go to art school because that’s what I did,” she said. “Actually getting the kids hooked on art school and to believe in art as a career choice, is probably one of the best parts of my job.”

The pieces done by the Pinnacle students will be on display at the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in Lakewood until Feb. 26 in the Philip J. Steele Gallery and the Rotunda Pavilion.

Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

In early May Pinnacle High School will host their own art show in the halls on the first floor of the school. For more information, contact LaMere at jlamere@pinnaclecsi.org.

Superintendents to express concerns in state education funding

Superintendents from around the state showed a united front last week presenting a letter to the governor and legislature to take notice of state funding provided to school districts.

The letter was signed by 167 of 178 Colorado superintendents calling upon the Colorado General Assembly and Governor John Hickenlooper to begin the buying down the $1 billion negative factor imposed on public education since 2009 and urging the state to not impose any new unfunded mandates upon the state’s school districts.

The letter was delivered on Feb. 10 to the state capitol and proposes that the “legislature restore $275 million of recurring funds to public schools, in addition to the governor’s proposed increase. A significant portion of the $275 million would be used to reduce the ‘negative factor’. The negative factor was the mechanism used to reduce funding allocated to public schools; we believe it is the mechanism that should be used to restore funding.”

In 2000, Amendment 23 was passed to ensure per pupil funding would increase each year by the rate of inflation. The rate of per pupil funding for each district is determined by factors, including district size and number of “at-risk” students. According to greateducation.org, a statewide, nonpartisan, grassroots organization focused on improving education in Colorado, starting in 2009, in order to make across-the-board cuts from all districts, the legislature added a new “budget stabilization” or “negative factor” to the School Finance Act formula.

In effect, the legislature now decides how much it wants to spend on school finance, and then adjusts the negative factor to meet that funding target.

Adams County superintendents who signed the letter included Chris Gdowski of Adams 12, Charlotte Ciancio of Mapleton, Pam Swanson of District 50, Pat Sanchez of

Adams 14 and Chris Fielder of 27J. In the Adams 12 district, the impact of the negative factor this year is $51.4 million less in funding. A $200 million reduction in the negative factor would mean about a $10 million increase in total program funding for the district.

“The Five Star District has seen reduced funding over the past few years totaling more than $100 million,” Gdowski said.

“We’re collectively calling for funding to be restored, local flexibility to invest dollars in areas we know will best benefit the unique needs of our students and an end to onesize-fits-all unfunded mandates.”

For Ciancio, the letter is an effort to “take a stand for the children in the school districts across Colorado.”

The negative factor for Mapleton this year is $10.6 million. Ciancio said it’s important for our legislatures to know districts can no longer provide students the services they deserve.

“Mapleton’s students are heavily impacted by the effects of poverty and we have a large population learning English as a second language,” she said. “The resources needed to support these students are much greater. We must address these disparities and inequities. We need to reinvest in our kids in this state.”

For District 50, the negative factor causes a loss of about $13 million every year. Swanson said she fully supports the letter and believes it’s a good starting point, but would like to see a higher priority placed on more funding for “at risk” students.

“I am working with like-minded superintendents and lawmakers to make sure our perspective is well represented at the capitol,” she said.

At the end of the letter, the superintendents requested an opportunity to meet with state executives and legislative leaders to share knowledge and experience about meaningful education policy to address the needs of the students in Colorado.

Magazine ammo ban repeal efforts fail GOP lawmaker takes heat for comments made about Aurora shooting

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com As expected, Republican efforts to repeal a law that limits ammunition magazine rounds failed in majority Democrat legislative committees last week.

But one of the hearings Report produced unexpected comments from a lawmaker who would end up having to do some damage control over his remarks concerning events that took place during the 2012 Aurora theater shooting.

Sen. Bernie Herpin, R-Colorado Springs, told the Senate’s State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee on Feb. 12 that it may have been a “good thing” that Aurora theater shooting suspect James Holmes was

Capitol

carrying a 100-round ammunition magazine because it jammed.

“If he had instead had four, five, six 15-round magazines, no telling how much damage he could have done until a good guy showed up,” Herpin told committee members.

Herpin was trying to make the point that larger capacity magazines are unreliable and that fewer people were killed or injured because Holmes’ weapon jammed. He later apologized for coming across as being insensitive.

Herpin’s comments were met with outrage by Tom Sullivan, the father of 27-yearold Alex Sullivan, who was one of 12 people who were killed in the July 2012 Aurora theater shooting.

“I’ve had a lot of thoughts since July 20, 2012, and I can tell you that I never have once thought that it was better that that man walked into that theater with a 100-round drum, and opened fire on the over 200 people that were in that theater,” Sullivan said.

Herpin is a freshman senator who won a recall election against John Morse last fall.

Morse, who at the time was Senate president, was one of three Democratic lawmakers who were either voted out of office or

resigned in the face of recall elections over their votes on gun bills last year.

Herpin isn’t the only lawmaker who has raised eyebrows for comments having to do with gun legislation. Last year, Rep. Joe Salazar and then-Sen. Evie Hudak, both Democrats, made comments regarding rape and gun violence that, like Herpin’s comments last week, made national headlines.

Herpin was in front of the committee to sponsor a bill that sought to repeal a law from last year that banned ammunition magazines from carrying more than 15 rounds.

The bill was one of two GOP-sponsored repeals that failed at the Legislature last week, each one falling on party-line votes in the Democrat-led General Assembly.

Two days earlier, a House committee rejected a separate effort sponsored by Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, which also sought to repeal the magazine limit law.

Holbert argued that limiting the number of rounds in a magazine is arbitrary and does nothing to promote public safety.

“This legislation doesn’t make us safer,” Holbert said.

“It doesn’t limit a criminal’s ability to do something monstrous. All it does is punish a law-abiding citizen.”

But Democrats and other supporters of magazine limits say the law saves lives because the fewer rounds that a killer can get off, the less damage they can cause.

The law was drafted in response to recent mass shootings like the one in Aurora and at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School the same year. Jane Dougherty’s sister, Mary Sherlock, was a school psychologist who was killed during the Sandy Hook massacre.

“Twenty-six souls were lost in fewer than 11 minutes that Friday morning,” Dougherty said. “We hear over and over again about gun owners having their rights taken away from them. … I ask you, `What about my sister’s rights?’”

In a nod to the ramifications from last year’s recall efforts, Holbert tried to appeal to Democrats on the committee to seize the “political opportunity” by supporting his repeal bill.

“Are you willing to risk political capital?”

Holbert said. “I ask you to please keep an open mind.”

But Rep. Mike Foote, D-Lafayette, took exception to Holbert’s comments.

“I don’t think we should be making a decision based on what’s politically expedient or politically smart,” Foote said.

il February is Teen Violence Awareness Month

rs ofBy Ashley Reimers s be-areimers@coloradocomn getmunitymedia.com

o re- The month of February urorais home to Black History men-Month and Valentine’s Day. erty’sBut it’s also Teen Violence chol-Awareness Month, and durHooking this time organizations

and individuals are working thantogether to bring awareness ugh-about dating violence as againwell as educate the public akenon healthy relationships boutand prevention of the cycle

of abuse. m last Community Reach Cenppealter, an organization that e theprovides mental health serg hisvices to residents of Adams

County, offers a variety of ital?”services to teens and famip anlies dealing with violence.

Whether it’s anger mantookagement group therapy or one-on-one therapy for a a de-victim of violence, Commudientnity Reach is a resource for people of all ages looking

for support.

For teens dealing with some aspect of violence, family therapy sessions are especially important. Lisa Walsh, a program manager at the Community Reach location in Westminster, said it’s vital for families to be involved in the therapy because the change needs to be from a systemic perspective.

“The entire family needs to be on board to support the teen,” she said. “And the parents themselves need support, because it’s not always easy parenting a teen in this day-in-age. We want to give parents the skills and support necessary so that can understand and help their teen in today’s world.”

For victims of abuse, including teens, Community Reach receives the Victims Assistance and Law Enforcement, VALE, grant from the 17th Judicial District. This grant provides

therapy services for any 17th Judicial District resident who has been a victim of a crime involving assault, physical abuse or sexual abuse. The victim does not have to report the crime to receive services.

For one person, grant funds can cover the cost of intake, up to 10 individual therapy sessions, up to 16 group therapy sessions plus med services. Walsh administers the funding on a caseby-case basis, with more than 150 people receiving services every year.

“This grant is really amazing. Not a day goes by that I don’t have somebody say how grateful they are for this grant,” she said. “I love being able to give out money. It’s like being Santa every day.”

Community Reach also provides school-based therapy for teens, a program that provides counseling services to students

and families directly in the school who are experiencing emotional or behavioral difficulties, including violence.

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.

For teens either dealing with the management of violent behavior or a teen dealing with an unhealthy or violent relationship, school-based therapists can work one-on-one with the teen and with the whole family. Stephanie John, clinical director at Community Reach, said talking to teens about healthy relationships, their personal rights and boundaries as well as letting teens know it’s safe to talk about these topics are some aspects focused on by therapists. She said it’s also important for parents to be

involved in the conversation.

“Just asking questions about their teen’s relationships and showing that they care is a big step for parents and guardians,” John said.

“Listening to their teen and creating an open dialogue is also important for parents

SKI MORE SPEND LESS

Chamber 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 more than 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 bookkeeping 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.”

The chamber does not have a storefront 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 organizaChamber continues on Page 4

Pause to make sense of your Chamber emotions when your team loses Continued from Page 3

Why does it hurt that the Broncos were humiliated and embarrassed in the Super Bowl?

I shut the TV off in the third quarter, when the score was 30-something to 0. I felt completely deflated — like a balloon that had lost all of its air. But I didn’t lose the Super Bowl, the Broncos did. So why do I take it so personally? I didn’t play badly — they did. They are absurdly well-paid athletes (nobody has offered to pay me millions of dollars to do what I do). And it’s they that lost, not I. So why do grown men get drunk when their team loses, and then beat up their wives, girlfriends or children because their sports team loses?

(Historically, the day after the Broncos lose a Super Bowl, social workers from Child Protection Human Services are inundated with referrals from school nurses with children who have bruises or broken bones, and domestic court judges have their dockets loaded with domestic violence cases — usually women who have been pummeled by a man overcome with anger and rage because his team lost.) Granted, this is not unique to Colorado, but still, what causes us to react so emotionally — and so reactionary — to our beloved sports team losing?

A large number of fans treat their sports team as a spiritual and transcendent experience. They spend countless hours studying the team’s strengths

and weaknesses, watching games, buying jerseys and other paraphernalia, screaming their heads off in the stadium or at the TV, rejoicing in the team’s victories, dismayed by its defeats — but always hopeful and optimistic for the chance to go all the way. To win.

To become world champs.

The reason we personalize this so much is that we assign to our team attributes we want in ourselves, and your team becomes both a metaphor and a symbol for the larger story of your life.

Most of us spend our entire lives questing to be the best at something, striving to win a job promotion, or recognition for outstanding work, or the love and devotion of a person we covet, or enough money to live comfortably — in essence, to achieve our own personal “super bowl-like” dream.

We spend our lives striving to achieve so we can prove to the world (and ourselves) that we are not just good, but that we are the best. The champions of the world.

But so often an error, a misjudgment, a poor decision, a market reversal or bad luck intervenes — and our goal is fumbled away and our dreams are intercepted — so we lose what we were striving so valiantly to achieve, or at least we have to overcome major setbacks, sometimes over and over again.

It was not only Payton Manning out there attempting to be the champion.

In some inexplicable way, it was you attempting to be the world champion also. The gold medal winner. Someone who sets his or her goals high, and then achieves them. A true real-life champion. And when the Broncos played poorly and lost, it reminded you of all of your own losses, your failures, your disappointments and your failed dreams — slip-sliding away. Your team’s failures brought into vivid light your own real-life defeats.

But you are resilient, and you will bounce back. And hopefully so will the Broncos — next year.

Whether you are aware of it or not, you were not only rooting for the Broncos. You were also rooting for yourself.

tion 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.’”

Maintaining good health with sound habits Doctors recommend healthy lifestyle for strong hearts

By Crystal Anderson Fifty years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson designated February as American Heart Month in hopes to decrease and eliminate deaths associated with all forms of Heart Disease.

Today, due to advances in technology and medical research, heart disease is less than 32 percent of deaths and decreasing every year.

“Heart health is important because you can’t live without the heart, and when it’s

WESTMINSTER WINDOW

damaged, it limits (physically and mentally) the activities you live to do,” Jefferson County Public Health executive director, Dr. Mark Johnson said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), heart disease is the leading cause of death nationwide with around 600,000 deaths a year. In Colorado, around 6,400 people die a year from cardiovascular disease, but with regular checkups, a proper diet and routinely moderate exercise, you can cut down your risk for a heart attack or heart disease drastically.

“One of the most important things to do is see your physician regularly and get a risk assessment,” said Dr. Michael Kaplan,

(ISSn 1072-1576) (USPS 455-250)

the national medical director of NextCare Urgent Care “It’s important to know, because your risk can be higher and you can be put at risk — get checked.”

The heart is one of the most vital of human organs, a muscle that pumps blood to the rest of the body.

When inflicted with heart disease, a slow buildup of blood vessels prevents blood from being pumped.

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), individuals should assess possible risks and warning signs, and work to prevent heart disease.

“So much of heart disease is due to lifestyle, it’s why we put so much emphasis on it,” Johnson said.

The AHA suggests assessing personal risk, controlling weight and cholesterol and having an active lifestyle.

Both Kaplan and Johnson agree, and recommend avoiding smoking or using tobacco products; eating a diet low in fats and cholesterol; and high in fruits and vegetables and exercising 40 minutes a day, three to four days a week to maintain a healthy heart.

“In order to have a healthy body, one must have a healthy heart,” Johnson said.

ing a citizen information academy, but after feedback from the community, a police academy was a better fit.

“During our summer socials last summer, we conducted a small survey asking residents what kind of academy they would be interested in,” she said.

“From the answers, we learned there was a lot of interest in a police academy. People really wanted to learn more about law enforcement and happenings of the police department.”

Fernandez said the academy is designed to be interactive as well as provide real life scenarios and examples of what police officers encounter in their line of duty. Some of the topics to be covered include: police ethics, law, building searches, crime prevention, crime investigation and dispatch.

Each student is required to complete a ride along with a police officer.

“The police officers are really hoping

to gain more informed citizens from this academy,” Fernandez said. “Because Federal Heights is a small community, it’s important to our police and fire departments, and to our city council and staff to engage with the community and have a relationship with the public. This academy is part of that effort.”

Charity offers scholarships to Adams 12 students

By Ashley Reimers

irec-areimers@coloradocommunitymedia. . Shecom ort a ham- After losing her son in a tragic car accident in 2008, Judi Madsen, principal at Silen-ver Creek Elementary School in Thornton, s thehas taken her loss and turned it into someon isthing positive. Collaborating with her son’s father Brian Stanley, Madsen and Stanley peti-established The Power of One Charity in an effort to help Adams 12 students who I justhave suffered a similar loss, through college scholarships.

Both Madsen and Stanley graduated from the Adams 12 schools and their son, Andrew Dollaghan, who passed away at age 22, graduated from Legacy High School.

Madsen said through the scholarship program she’s hoping to help a student who has lost a sibling or parent and needs some financial help with college.

“We started the charity with the idea that one person could make the difference in the lives of others,” she said. “With these scholarships we’re able to turn the most horrific event in life into something that is positive, something we can do to help others with the pain and devastation that myself and Andrew’s father have experienced.”

Since the establishment of The Power of One Charity in 2010, the program has grown to include four other scholarships, which are in the names of children who have died in the community. Madsen said other parents and families are celebrating the lives of their children, just as she is, through the scholarships.

Up to $12,000 in scholarships will be awarded ranging from $500 to $1,000. The scholarships will be awarded for two consecutive years as long as the student maintains a 2.5 grade point average in college.

Individuals who qualify must meet one or more of the following criteria:

Is a current Adams 12 high school senior planning on attending college in fall 2014.

Has experienced the loss of a sibling/ parent.

Is facing financial challenges related to college expenses.

Is a single parent wishing to go to or return to college.

Madsen said students who meet three or more of the above criteria will be given priority. The application requires a personal essay and two letters of recommendation.

Students interested in applying should contact Madsen at madsen65@msn.com . Applications are due by March 1.

Funding for the scholarships is made possible through the charity’s annual golf tournament. This year’s tournament is set for August and is open to the public.

Free lunch program expanded under new bill Students would be eligible through high school

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com More Colorado school children would be eligible for free lunch at school, under a bill that passed a House committee on Feb. 10.

Right now, kids who qualify for the state’s reduced lunch program can have their meal “co-pays” waived through the second grade. House Bill 1156 would make free lunches available to children through high school, if they qualify.

“The reality is, when these families are hurting, they are hurting,” said Rep. Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, the bill’s sponsor. “And that doesn’t stop at the third grade.”

Moreno — who once was a recipient of free and reduced lunches when he was a child — has paid close attention to school nutrition issues since he first came into office last year. During the 2013 legislative session, Moreno passed a bill that would require schools with high poverty rates to serve breakfast at the start of the school day.

Moreno’s new effort passed the House Education Committee following a party-line vote of 7-6.

Republicans balked primarily because the bill would send more money to the program that handles

school meals in Colorado, which has been the recent target of an audit for mismanagement of state funds.

The bill would mean that parents like Tamara Frawley of Thornton would no longer be required to pay any sort of reduced fee for their kids’ meals. In Frawley’s case, that amounts to about 40 cents a day, per child.

“Forty cents doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you’re on a limited budget, it’s an insurmountable amount” she said.

Frawley, who has two children who are enrolled at Mapleton Public Schools in Adams County, said she has struggled to pay bills ever since her husband was diagnosed with cancer six years ago.

“I hold down a 40hour a week job and two temp jobs, but it still isn’t enough,” Frawley told committee members.

Because many more children would be eligible for free lunches, the bill would require an additional $2.4 million in annual state funds to go to a state-run school meal program. However, those costs would be offset — and then some — through federal reimbursement through the National School Lunch Act. Federal reimbursement is expected to be substantially higher than what the state will be paying for the additions to the free lunch program. Mapleton Schools, through a pilot program, currently covers the reduced lunch costs of their students, a district where more than 70 percent of children qualify for the

program.

“We serve a community that is heavily impacted by the effects of poverty,” said Virgina Styles, assistant director of Mapleton Schools, who was reading a letter in support of the bill from Superintendent Charlotte Ciancio.

6-OPINION

6 Westminster Window

February 20, 2014

opinions / yours and ours

Turmoil abounds in Jeffco It really saddened me to see the photo of out-going Jefferson County Superintendent Cindy Stevenson crying as she departs from her 12-year career as the leader in the school system.

But equally, it infuriated me to see the person who helped shove her out attempt an insincere farewell.

For years Jefferson County schools were rated excellent under the leadership of Cindy. School life was good, teachers were teaching, children were learning, parents were happy and supportive and all seemed well. However, seeds of discourse were being sowed and right wing conservatives of the Tea Party sort decided they wanted a change in district philosophy. They wanted more charter schools, certain core curriculum teaching and more say so over social issues.

In short, they wanted Cindy out even as the district scores were on the rise.

They didn’t stop until they achieved total control. They did that by undermining Cindy’s leadership at every turn. Finally her spirit broken, Cindy decided to leave now and to go quietly. Once the word got out, droves of parents pleaded to let her stay but it was over.

I can’t imagine how the teachers can

teach in the face of disruption. Yet they have to swallow their feelings and act in the classroom like the professional they are.

It reminded me to reprint an article I ran a few years ago. It tells of how vital and how difficult it is to be a teacher these days when politics has intruded in the worst way.

Here is the article: What teachers make The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life. One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued, “What’s a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?”

He reminded the other dinner guests what they say about teachers: “Those who

can, do. Those who can’t, teach.” To stress his point he said to another guest; “You’re a teacher, Bonnie. Be honest what do you make?”

Bonnie, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied, “You want to know what I make?” (She paused for a second, then began...)

“Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.

I make a C+ feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor.

I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents can’t make them sit for 5 without an I Pod, Game Cube or movie rental...

You want to know what I make?” (She paused again and looked at each and every person at the table.)

I make kids wonder.

I make them question.

I make them criticize.

I make them apologize and mean it.

I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.

I teach them to write and then I make them write.

I make them read, read, read.

I make them show all their work in math.

I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to know in English while preserving their unique cultural identity. I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.

I make my students stand to say the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, because we live in the United States of America.

Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, than can succeed in life.”

(Bonnie paused one last time and then continued) “Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant...”

“You want to know what I make? I make a difference, what do you make?”

Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned…

Preserving our history Every community should take prudent measures to preserve its history. It’s not just the old wind-up alarm clock that sat on Aunt Jennie’s bedside or the milking can from Farmer Jones. Documents reflect the actions that were taken in the past such as the creation of the former District 50 Parks and Recreation District (now known as Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District) or the articles establishing the Westminster Community Church (Westminster Presbyterian Church) over 100 years ago.

Or how about early documents when the Westminster Rotary Club was chartered in 1960? While the documents won’t be as prominent as say the Declaration of Independence or the Emancipation Proclamation, they do help make our local history come alive! Also, for those who wish to do research, documents often tell the “why” as well as the “what” and “when.”

A BIG STEP FORWARD It was a delight to learn of the Westminster History Center becoming a reality thanks to the combined efforts of the Westminster Historical Center and the Adams 50 Board of Education. A 5-year lease has been executed between the two entities so that historical documents can be properly kept in safe keeping as well as on display at the Pleasant DeSpain Sr. Schoolhouse at 7200 Lowell Blvd. The building, which is on the National Register of Historical Places, is an ideal setting for this depository of historical documents.

A CENTRAL DEPOSITORY As I understand the plan, this center will house a wide variety of Westminster-based documents. This is not simply a place to keep City documents. It should include documents from the three school districts, two counties, Hyland Hills District, private businesses, churches, service clubs, youth organizations like Cub Scouts, Brownies, ice skating clubs and a lot more. I can re-

member the problem our Rotary Club has had over the years trying to keep records and documents all in one place. With officers changing each year, it has always been a challenge as records would move from home to home. The history center will solve that problem.

A REAL ‘WIN-WIN’

Kudos go to the members of the two governing bodies who achieved this cooperative endeavor. It makes good sense for the school district to be involved given the educational opportunities which the center will be able to provide. Also, it gives the historical society an important avenue of expansion into a substantive component of historical preservation. It’s a real “win-win.” However, there is an important partner missing in this collaborative partnership. It is the City of Westminster. In any community, the local government usually plays an important role in historical preservation. So many of the documents which are archived at City Hall should be copied and made available to the Historical Center for the public’s viewing. Furthermore, the city should be a financial partner in the Center. City Council actions make history all the time. Their decisions (or sometimes indecisions) are an important fabric of the local history and how we “got there from here.” The city could well afford to become a partner in this long-term venture.

February 20, 2014

Have a great day in any language I’ve been thinking a lot about language lately, specifically foreign languages. And — appropriately enough, with the recent focus on the world’s athletes at the Winter Olympics — I’m fascinated with speakers of foreign languages.

I have a friend here in Colorado who is fluent in six languages, although he says it’s only five because he doesn’t really think in Hebrew. Of course, it helps that he has lived — for several years at a time — in The Netherlands, France, Argentina, Italy, Israel, and Cleveland.

Have you heard this old saw?

“What do you call someone who speaks more than one language?” Multilingual.

“What do you call someone one speaks only one language?” American. Hmm… Seriously, though, how many of us are truly fluent in a language other than English? If we are very lucky, we might have relatives who speak the language of their parents. My sister and I have incorporated select Romanian words and phrases from

our mother’s parents into our family lingo, but we don’t actually know the language.

And Mom herself got rusty during her 50some years away from everyday use.

I do love the English language, and I’m in awe that English is the international language, which is always inspiring during global events such as the Olympics. With rare exceptions, these athletes are articulate, if not downright fluent, in English.

And having briefly trained to teach English as a Foreign Language with the Peace Corps a few years ago, I know firsthand

how difficult it is to learn and employ English when it’s not your native tongue.

However, not only did my elementary school students in Turkmenistan speak Turkmen, of course, but they were fluent in Russian too. And many of them, at just six years old, could also understand English so well that I was startled more than once when the kids knew what I was saying to other teachers, such as that we needed more chairs. One little girl who was listening to us promptly took me across the hall where I could get the chairs. But do I have any Turkmen left in me? Not a peep.

I think part of my own monolingual pain is due to a misguided skill for avoiding language education. That’s not entirely my fault, though — I had absolutely no foreign language requirements to get my bachelor’s degree in college. However, I did spend my one semester of Conversational Spanish in high school mostly conversing with the kid across the row from me … in English.

I regret that, a lot. So I’m pleased to see that school kids now have a greater variety of language offerings, even requirements.

Personally, I want to learn French — no, more than that, I want to become fluent in French, with perfect pronunciation for even the sounds that my English-speaking tongue can’t produce right now. That’s why I recently purchased a French-language CD set.

But wait …I also went in with my sister on both the Italian and Spanish language sets too. So if you see me apparently talking to myself in the car, you’ll be right, because I’ll be practicing my bon jour, my buenas tardes, and my bella noche.

In other words, have a great day, afternoon, and evening … in any language.

Tragedies happening on our watch Do you ever worry that we don’t really have any idea at all what we’re doing? I do.

Caleb (not his real name) is a funny, outgoing young man who recently has, all of the sudden, not wanted to go school. It’s not that he has a hard time at school — he gets good grades and enjoys learning.

The problem is that two weeks ago another student deliberately pushed Caleb off of a piece of playground equipment, causing him to land hard and be hurt, though not injured. A couple days later, that same student kicked Caleb in the guts.

You would think that might have spurred the school to take action, to punish the offending student and act to make Caleb feel safe. And, I suppose, that sort of happened: an administrator had a stern conversation with the offender and offered Caleb ideas about how to modify his own behavior to help avoid the bullying situations. Ideas like stay close to an adult at recess and keep space between him and the other boy in the classroom.

In other words: cower.

Completely unsurprisingly, this didn’t make Caleb feel very safe. At one point, he even made a mean face at the other boy.

Which got him summoned to the administrator’s office.

That’s right: making a mean face is worthy of the same punishment as physical assault. Because, in the insanity that has

become our efforts to socially engineer our children in the schools, there are no degrees of bad, there is simply bad. Making an online threat is roughly the same as bringing a plastic butter knife to school in your lunch; intimidation and violence are roughly the same as 6-year olds pretending to shoot at each other while playing war games on the playground.

Is it any wonder that teenagers brought up in this system are confused as hell, desperate, and all-too-frequently self-destructive? We send a message of non-violence, we preach getting along and not bullying, and the good kids comply—but those who don’t believe the rules apply to them take advantage. They prey on our docility, and the system does so little to protect victims that the victims don’t feel like they have any recourse. Or, at least, any recourse that is sane.

In the last two weeks, four high school

students in Douglas County have committed suicide. This is not just sad for their families and their school communities — this is a tragic waste of human potential.

For the last few weeks at our church we have included in our community prayers the Arvada Fire Department, because in the last few months they’ve seen a dramatic uptick in the number of suicides they’ve had to respond to. It’s taking its toll on them.

And then there’s the ... I don’t even know the word. Horrific? Terrifying? Case of the student at Standley Lake High School who walked into the school cafeteria, doused himself in fuel, and set himself on fire.

Think about that. A kid so disconnected that he could drink a bottle of bleach, then walk from the parking lot all the way into the building carrying a jug of fuel, go 40 feet through the main entryway, down a flight

of stairs, and on another 50 feet to enter the cafeteria — without anybody noticing that something was terribly wrong.

This was not a cry for help — this was a shout from the mountain tops, a scream from the depths of this boy’s — this generation’s — personal hell. I pray that God took mercy on this boy’s soul, and that he found some peace in the days he was hospitalized before dying.

But for the rest of us, we can not afford to ignore the message of his shout: we are wrong, and we need to do something different.

School board transparency bill moves forward Passes House following lengthy debate

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A contentious House floor debate preceded the Feb. 13 passage of a bill that aims to shine more light on school board members’ private discussions.

House Bill 1110 would expand current law that already requires the recording of all conversations that take place during school board executive sessions to include those involving attorney-client discussions.

Most Democrats supported the measure, saying that it holds elected officials accountable for what happens behind closed doors and bolsters the public’s right to know.

But all House Republicans joined three Democrats in voting against the bill. Several spoke out against the bill, calling it an affront to attorney-client privilege.

They also argued that the bill unfairly targets a handful of school boards that have been the subject of controversy over executive session matters, including boards in Douglas and Jefferson counties.

“This is targeted and punitive to a few school districts to this state,” Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch said. “We should not use the power of legislation to punish.”

McNulty’s comments came during a Feb. 12 House floor debate. The House passed the bill the next day on a 34-31 vote.

Under the bill, sponsored by Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster, recordings of attorney-client discussions during executive sessions would be stored and would be made available only through a successful petition through the courts.

If a filer believes that what was being handled during executive session doesn’t warrant a behind-closed-doors discussion, a judge would listen to the recording to determine whether that information should be made public. If the judge believes that to be the case, the recordings would be released.

The bill also requires that school boards post the topics that are discussed in executive session, the same way they do through the posting of board meeting minutes. The topics would require enough of a summary of what was being discussed during the session, but wouldn’t have to go into detail of the privileged conversations.

“The value of this bill is for the community who wants to know whether our elected officials are using their privileges correctly,” Peniston said prior to the House vote. “It’s a transparency issue.”

Peniston insisted that the bill is not directed at any particular school district. But Republicans believe otherwise.

The Douglas County School Board has been the subject of criticism over its use of executive sessions. The conservative board has pushed for controversial reforms, including those that would limit the influence of teachers’ unions.

New conservative members of the Jefferson County Public Schools Board of Edu-

cation have also received criticism. In December the three new members approved a lawyer’s contract without disclosing the terms during a public meeting.

Rep. Kevin Priola, R-Henderson, blasted the “terrible” bill, not only for what he feels is the unfair targeting of certain school boards, but for also being a veiled reaction to last year’s school board elections across the state. Last November, reform candidates were swept into school board posts at Douglas and Jefferson Counties.

“I can’t believe how obvious of a target this bill is of certain school boards in this state, because of the fact that elections were won by reform groups in this state,” Priola said.

Republicans also took aim at what they believe is a violation of attorney-client privilege. Rep. Bob Gardner, a Colorado Springs Republican who is also a lawyer, took to the well often to offer sharp criticism of the legislation.

Gardner said the bill would make it difficult for attorneys to have candid conversations with their clients and it would soak up judge’s use of time.

“This bill, more than any that has come before us, in my view is such an assault on public policy that it deserves the debate,” he said.

But Rep. Mike McLachlan, D-Durango, said the “hysteria” over that aspect of the bill is unwarranted and that the bill would lift the “mask of secrecy” from the goingson at school board meetings.

“The public does not like secrecy,” he said. “The public does not support secrecy

in any governmental body.”

That sentiment was expressed by a few witnesses who testified during a Feb. 3 House committee hearing.

Shawna Fritzler, the mother of a Jefferson County student, said the school board there ought to be more transparent and that its members are losing the public’s confidence.

“On one level it’s ironic for every board that keeps the public in the dark and out of board meetings, they’re also asking for more involvement,” she said. “It’s scaring teachers, parents and community members. And that impacts the children in our schools.”

The bill had its share of critics at the same committee hearing. Debbie Lammers, a St. Vrain Valley School District board member, said it’s unfair that the bill only targets school boards, but not other governing bodies.

Last year’s version of the bill included city councils and other bodies into the mix, but it did not have the support inside the Capitol.

The three House Democrats who voted against this year’s effort were Reps. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village; Rep. Diane Mitsh Bush, D-Steamboat Springs; and Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver.

Pabon, a lawyer, seemingly argued in favor of the bill the day before the final vote, but he said that his no vote was ultimately based on his belief that the bill would create a slippery slope that would do harm to attorney-client privacy.

The bill now heads to the Senate.

Core standards delay rejected at Capitol Bill would have pushed back start of new testing standards

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Republican-sponsored effort to delay implementation of controversial new standardized school testing mandates failed in a legislative committee on Feb. 13.

The federal Common Core State Standards Initiative sets guidelines for what every K-12 student should know about math and language arts at each grade level, in hopes that the kids will be better prepared for college.

During a Feb. 13 Senate Education Committee hearing, supporters of the initiative — which the state adopted into the Colorado Academic Standards in 2010 — lauded the assessment as an optimum way to set minimum standards that give kids the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in life.

But opponents insisted that the standards are expensive, burdensome on districts to implement, and also argued that students are drowning in assessment tests

already.

That polarization was the motivation behind Senate Bill 136, which would have delayed all new, statewide assessments for a year. It also would have set up a task force to look into the adoption and implementation of the Colorado Academic Standards in an effort to determine whether the state’s participation in the Common Core initiative is worth it.

“All it’s asking for is nothing special; no changes, just a time out,” Sen. Vicky Marble, R-Fort Collins, the bill’s sponsor said.

Marble told the committee that implementation costs associated with the standardized tests are “enormous” and that the state would benefit from the delay.

But the majority of committee members didn’t agree. The Democrat-led committee rejected Marble’s bill on a 4-3 party-line vote, following a lengthy and often emotional hearing that even resulted in a couple of lawmakers trying to hold back tears.

Although he heard testimony that “will give him a lot of things to think about going home,” Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver, said he is supportive of the standards.

“I am still a believer that we can build a set of rigorous standards,” he said. “I don’t

think the answer is to pause on this.”

States can voluntarily adopt Common Core standards and 45 states and the District of Columbia have done so. Colorado’s State Board of Education decided to adopt the standards after a study determined that the federal math and English standards were closely aligned with those that the state was already using.

Colorado schools adopted the standards through its participation of the PARCC multi-state consortia — Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers. Through PARCC, Common Core testing is set to begin next year.

Testimony on Marble’s bill lasted several hours inside the Old Supreme Court Chambers, the Capitol’s largest committee hearing room. Supporters of the bill cited several reasons as to why committee members should put the standards on hold.

Sandra Stotsky, a longtime educator and national opponent of Common Core standards, began her testimony by telling the committee that New York lawmakers had voted the day before to delay its Common Core implementation for three years.

She said that New York has it right because Common Core’s math standards

don’t prepare them for the next instructional levels and that the ability of local school boards to dictate their own curriculum “was wiped out overnight” by the 2010 State Board of Education decision. “(Common Core) is a sticky jar of molasses that was voted on by a State Board of Education that didn’t know what it was doing,” she said.

Others were critical of the demands that assessments place on school districts’ technology. Stephanie Pico of the Cherry Creek School District said that lack of human and technological resources cause stress “and a sense of helplessness” among teachers who are already overwhelmed by technology issues.

Others testified that the federal standards dictate curriculum, which undermines local control of how schools should operate. Monument Academy Principal Lis Richard told the committee that the connection between assessment standards and curriculum is “inseparable.”

“I believe the intentions have been good, but ill advised,” she said.

“Adopting a national form of standards has never been proven to reform education.”

New Purple Heart Chapter opens

Organization to aid vets a fewacross the Front Range

eb. 3

By Crystal Anderson

effer-canderson@coloradocommunioardtymedia.com and blic’s Decades after returning home from serving in Vietnam, veterans oardand Purple Heart recipients, Frank d outGriggs and Jeff Birdwell, decided g forthey wanted to give back to the aringveteran community of Colorado. mem- And in January, they started a n ourchapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. Chapter 1041, t thenamed after Griggs’s boot camp Lam-unit in the Marine Corps, is looardcated in Arvada, specifically at onlythe Elks Lodge at 5700 Yukon St., vern-and will serve veterans across the Front Range, west of I-25, south udednear Highlands Ranch to north in mix,Broomfield. e the “We try to stay in our community and have that presence and otedby cooperating with other organianielzations in our area — it helps evDianeerybody,” Griggs said. The organiRep.

zation will be working on several projects in the community, including the Star Spangled Banner program with the Arvada Harvest Festival; organizing a color guard; obtaining a tolling bell and placing a Purple Heart Memorial in the Westminster’s Armed Forces Tribute Garden.

By working in conjunction with local associations such as the Elks Lodge, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), and the American Legion, Chapter 1041 members are working to establish a valuable community presence while ensuring help to all veterans, not just Purple Heart recipients.

“The Purple Heart organization is more than a group of guys with Purple Hearts meeting, chapters provide funds for Veterans Affairs (VA) Hospitals, nursing homes, and veterans,” Griggs said.

Serving other veterans through the support and honor of the Military Order of the Purple Heart in other areas, led Griggs to want to start his own chapter in an underserved area of Colorado, helping

Senate Bill 7 allows county governments to tap into their general funds for bridge and road repairs that become necessary tion-as a result of a natural disaster occurring, hoolsuch as flooding. The bill has cleared both ulumlegislative chambers, most recently going Statethrough the House on Feb. 10.

Right now, counties are prohibited olas-from using funds for that purpose. The bill rd ofwould give more leeway to local governs do-ments, so long as the governor declares a

that techCreek n and and a who One of my favorite things about writing gy isthis column is the interaction and communication with the community. I appreciate stanyou all for the feedback, recommendandertions, and support you have provided over ould the years. al Lis Last week I received one of those comconmunications I love so much via email. One s and of our local readers wanted to know why I haven’t been more diligent about followgood, ing up on the pursuit of our goals and New Year’s Resolutions as I have in years past, dards especially right at the beginning of the ducayear.

I am glad that some of you look forward to the challenges and prodding from yours truly when it comes to the pursuit of your goals and dreams. And the fact that you reach out and share those dreams means even more to me than you can imagine.

Well, let me ask you now that we are just a little more than a month into the New Year, how are you doing with your resolutions, goals and plans? Are you right where you thought you would be? Are you ahead of schedule? Or maybe you aren’t quite where you wanted to be or where you thought you might be by now. The good news is that we have only completed onetwelfth of the year.

Imagine the year as if you were looking at a 12-inch ruler with the month of January sitting on the one-inch mark. It’s easy to see or imagine that there is still so much more time ahead of us than there is behind us. So even if we haven’t gotten off to a super strong start yet, or we have realized that we still have more work to do, the balance of the year works in our favor.

Now, continue to use your imagination.

Think of each inch as the next month in the year and the space between each as a 30-day window. Get the visual in your head, maybe even transfer the image to paper or an electronic document.

What are the things that need to happen in each month, each 30-day window that will help you with the achievement of your goals and dreams? You see we can’t measure success if we do not know what it is

veterans connect with other veterans and receive assistance.

“I want to help people and show our veterans the respect due them,” Griggs said.

“I don’t want the recognition, I want to see the organization grow and help our veterans by providing things other people can’t provide.”

Since its inception in late January, the chapter has gained 24 members, and is hoping to add more to the roster, specifically women veterans and younger Iraq and Afghan War veterans.

“We want people to be proud of their Purple Heart, it’s the oldest military honor, and very prestigious,” Birdwell said. “We want our members to feel a part of an elite organization.”

Chapter 1041’s next meeting will be 10 am. Saturday, March 8, at the Elks Lodge 2278, 5700 Yukon St. For more information about the Military Order of the Purple Heart or to join, contact Frank Griggs, 303-946-3321.

Fallen deputy honored

Lawmakers last week paid tribute to a Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputy who was killed in the line of duty. A 27-year veteran of the sheriff’s office, Sgt. David Baldwin died on Jan. 26 in a head-on collision on Highway 93.

Lawmakers held a memorial tribute to Baldwin on Feb. 11, with Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge, lauding Baldwin’s “highlydecorated” career.

“We honor him for his dedication and service,” Schafer said.

The tribute included a Colorado flag

Success one inch at a time

we are measuring. What does success look like in February? What will it look like in March? And what does success mean along our individual ruler or path to success?

There is more good news. Success can come in all shapes and sizes and can be accomplished along any time line. There are immediate wins, near-term successes, mid-range accomplishments, and the successful achievement of long-term goals.

And there is even more good news. Success begets success. That’s right, the more we succeed, the more likely it is that success will follow us wherever we go.

How about you? Where are you in the pursuit of your goals and dreams? I am sure there are many of you who don’t need me to be your weekly reminder or coach when it comes to being driven to succeed.

And I am sure there are many of you who have someone or something that inspires and motivates you as you seek success.

My hope is that this week you will realize that there is still so much time left this year to set our goals and resolutions and just as much time to pursue and achieve our modest and even wildest dreams.

I would love to hear all about where you see yourself on the ruler and how you plan on pursuing personal success at gotonorton@gmail.com. Remember, when we identify what we want and plan for our own success, it will be a better than good week.

College Affordability Act clears committee

A bill that would cap college tuition rate hikes and pump more money into financial aid cleared its first legislative hurdle on Feb. 12 as the Senate Education Committee passed Senate Bill 1, the College Affordability Act, following a 6-1 bipartisan vote.

The bill would cap tuition rate hikes at 6 percent annually and would allocate an additional $100 million for colleges, with much of that money going toward student financial aid. The bill now heads to the Senate Appropriations Committee.

A bill that could impact a prisoner’s “good-time” credit cleared a House committee last week.

House Bill 1114 would give the Department of Corrections flexibility to withdraw earned time credit that they receive for good behavior behind bars, if they reoffend in prison.

The bill, which is sponsored by Reps.

Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, and Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, received unanimous support from the House Judiciary Committee on Feb. 13 and now heads to the House for a full vote there.

Vaccinations for family health State laws require written proof of immunization before starting school or childcare. Your doctor or local health department has complete information to get your children on the vaccination or make up schedule if they have missed it. For activities to help young children develop their brains see grandparentsteachtoo.org.

Vaccination schedule

According to the Center for Disease Control, cdc.gov/vaccines, the United States vaccinates to protect our future.

Vaccinations not only protect our children protect our grandchildren and their grandchildren. If we keep vaccinating now, parents in the future may be able to trust that diseases like polio and meningitis won’t infect, cripple, or kill.

The CDC site explains. It’s like bailing out a boat with a slow leak. When we

started bailing (vaccinating), the boat was filled with water. But we have been bailing fast and hard for many years, and now it is almost dry. We could say, “Good.” We can stop vaccinating now and relax.” But the leak hasn’t stopped. Before long we’d notice a little water seeping in, and soon it might be back up to the same level as when we started.

Doctors at the CDC emphasize unless we can “stop the leak” (eliminate the disease), it is important to keep immunizing.

Even if there are only a few cases of disease today, if we take away the protection given by vaccination, more and more people will be infected and will spread disease to others. Soon we will undo the progress we have made over the years. This happened in Japan in the 70s with whooping cough.

The recommended immunization schedule on cdc.gov/vaccinations is designed to protect infants and children early in life when they are most vulnerable and before they are exposed to potentially life-threatening diseases. There is also a catch up schedule. See your doctor or local health department. It’s not too late.

Flu shots

Anyone can get the flu, but the risk of

getting flu is highest among children and older people. Symptoms come on suddenly. Flu can make young children, adults 65 and older, pregnant women, those with heart, lung or kidney disease, or a weakened immune system sicker than others.

Flu vaccine is especially important for these people, and anyone in close contact with them. Again, it is not too late.

Flu can also lead to deadly pneumonia and make existing medical conditions worse. It can cause diarrhea and seizures in children. Each year thousands of people in the United States die from flu and many more are hospitalized. When children receive flu shots they not only protect themselves but others in the family from getting deadly strains of the flu.

The cdc.gov/flu vaccine site has information about people who should no get the flu shots.

Vessels of beauty FAC presents annual ceramics exhibition

By Clarke Reader

creader@ coloradocommunitymedia.com A lot of art forms that have a tactile element to them, but none perhaps is as connected to human history as ceramics.

Foothills Arts Center also has a long history of celebrating the clay creations of Colorado artists, and will honor their works once again with its latest exhibition.

The show will be on display at the gallery, 809 Fifteenth St., through March 16. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on WHAT: Colorado Sunday.

Clay exhibition “This is one of our longest standing WHERE: Foothills shows,” said the FAC’s coordinator of juried Arts Center exhibi809 Fifteenth St., tions, Golden Becky WHEN: Through Guy. “It March 16 really 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. shows Tuesday-Saturday what noon to 5 p.m. people Sunday can do COST: $5 for with adults, $3 for clay.” seniors, free for The members, students first with ID and youth juried (7-17) ceramics INFORMATION: exhibi303-279-3922 or tion was FoothillsArtCenter. held in org 1974,

IF YOU GO

and since then the FAC has presented more than 30 exhibitions that have studied the medium, according to information provided by Marianne Lorenz, curator at the center.

According to Guy, what makes this year’s exhibit different from previous years is that this year the works will be juried instead of the artists.

“In the past we would jury in the artists and then those who were selected could bring in whatever work they want to,” Guy explained. “This year we invited five artists we are familiar with to submit work and all the other submitted works will be juried in.”

Invited artists include Bebe Alexander, Heather Mae Erickson, Sara Ransford, Martha Russo and Maynard Tischler.

Juried artists include Julie Anderson and Gregory Grasso, Jerry Rhodes, Maura Rieman, Denise Whittaker-Hoar and Steven Wood.

“It was a very competitive process — we had about 296 entries and selected only 44 pieces for the show,” Guy said.

This year’s juror is Doug Casebeer, chair of the Artists Residency Program and Artistic Director of Ceramics, Sculpture, Furniture Design & Woodworking at Anderson Ranch Art Center in Snowmass.

Casebeer received his master’s degree in fine arts in ceramics from Alfred University and his bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Wichita State University. He has served as pottery consultant to the United Nations and the German government. In 2009, Casebeer was elected to the International Academy of Ceramics in Geneva, Switzerland. He was also a featured artist at the Chinese Academy of Fine Art in Beijing.

Awards were given out on Jan. 24 and include: best of show — Claire McArdle for “Equipean 2 & 8”; most innovative use of material — Lauren Mayer for “Other Moments of an Interior”; best fulfillment of concept — Jenny Gawronski for “Teapot”; and Marsha Levy Memorial Award, donated by Pete & Meryl Sabeff — Carla Kappa for “One Thousand Butterflies.”

In addition to the show, the center has turned its gift gallery into a showcase for participating artists to sell their lowerpriced works, $250 and less.

“The main thing is to create an interesting show for everybody, but if we can find a way to help out the artists as well, that’s great too,” Guy said.

According to Guy, one of the best things about this year’s show is the diversity of pieces. She said there is everything from functional to fine art and sculpture to installation pieces.

“This is a really strong show, with a really nice range,” Guy said.

For more information and special events, call 303-279-3922 or visit FoothillsArtCenter.org.

Sonodas LoDo location closes

Kenny Sonoda, founding father of the Sonodas chain of sushi restaurants, has opted to call it quits on his LoDo eatery at 1620 Market St. after nearly 19 years.

Sonoda, 65, is trying to retire, but his original spot at 3108 S. Parker Road in Aurora, a place he opened in 1995, will remain open.

Here’s what Sonoda posted on www. sonodassushi.com: “With over 26 years in the business now behind me the time has come for me to hand up the knives and announce my retirement. And yet it is with more than a bit of sadness that I announce the closure of my Downtown Restaurant on Market Street on Feb. 15.

“In 1973 I first came to Denver, Colorado, to help build and open the Gasho of Japan, a Japanese Hibachi style steak house in downtown Denver (1627 Curtis St.). In 1976, I returned to Denver to build a freestanding building of Gasho of Japan Restaurant. This time I build a replica of a 400-year-old Gasho farmhouse, found in Takayama City of Japan, the sister city to Denver, Colorado. This Gasho of Japan restaurant was located in DTC on Belleview and Interstate 25 where Shanahan’s is currently standing.”

Chipotle a social media winner

According to the National Restaurant Association e-letter, Denver-based Chipotle’s position as lifestyle brand won the top spot on DigitalCoCo’s Restaurant Social Media Index, followed by McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Subway and Buffalo Wild Wings (all ick!) in the top five. Firehouse Subs and Hard Rock Cafe hit the top 10, both edging out Sonic and Jimmy John’s.

The index measures influence, sentiment and engagement among more than 56 million social restaurant consumers.

Lessons learned from the passing “Things I’ve Learned from Dying: A Book about Life” David R. Dow, 2014, $25.00 / $28.00 Canada, 273 pages Just one more bedtime story.

You wanted that as a child because you’ve always been someone who hates endings (one more for the road). Everyone knows you never get out the door on time (let me just look again). Coat on, hat on, and you start another story (did I tell you…?).

“Goodbye” sounds so final and it’s not a bad thing that you can’t take your leave. But, as in the new book “Things I’ve Learned from Dying” by David R. Dow, sometimes, it’s time to go.

The crime was horrifying for its brutality: four teenagers broke into the home of an eighty-four-

David R. Dow

year-old woman, slinked upstairs to where she was watching TV in bed, took her car keys, and killed her.

Later, Texas law allowed Eddie Waterman, who did not shoot the fatal bullet, to be sentenced to die for the crime.

In Huntsville , where “inmates spend twenty-three hours a day in a sixty-square-foot cell with … a slit of translucent plastic for a window” David Dow met Waterman, his new client. Dow, a lawyer for Death Row inmates, had been down this road before. At their first meeting, he “did the math” and figured Waterman would “be dead in twenty-eight months.”

Still, he would try to overturn the sentence.

Dow’s father-in-law, Peter, asked why Dow wanted to save Waterman’s life. It was a good question from a man who was dying himself: Peter had metastatic melanoma.

But as hard as Dow fought to save the life of Waterman, who had nothing and wanted to live, Peter, who had everything to live for, wanted to die.

Every possible legal chance was used to help Waterman’s

plight; Dow and his team even put themselves in danger of disbarment.

Meanwhile, Dow’s wife, Katya, desperately searched for viable alternative treatments for her father, who’d decided there’d be no more chemotherapy.

“I know you know how to let go,” Peter wrote to Dow. “I need you to teach it to Katya.”

In a file stored somewhere in my computer, there’s a flexible list of my Top Five Books Ever.

“Things I’ve Learned from Dying” is there.

As a meditation on life, author David R. Dow first takes his readers on a dual path of sorrow (“My entire life consists of trying to put off the end.”). The situations, together, drip with irony; his good memories of Peter seem grief-flat, dry, and joyless. It’s hardly believable, then, that Dow’s dog falls ill during this time, which feels to readers like another kick to the stomach.

That’s overwhelming — obviously for the author as much as it is for us – but it’s also so affecting that you’ll find your hand creeping over your mouth as you read.

You may even cry.

But you won’t avoid being moved.

This memoir on life and death is a must-read for both sides of the capital punishment fence. It’s a must-read for anyone who’s lost a loved one.

Start “Things I’ve Learned from Dying,” and I don’t think you’ll be able to leave it.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF FEb 17, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Some unsettling facts about a past situation could come to light. And while you’d love to deal with it immediately, it’s best to get more information to support your case.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A straightforward approach to a baffling situation is best. Don’t allow yourself to be drawn into an already messy mass of tangles and lies. Deal with it and move on.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Don’t be discouraged or deterred by a colleague’s negative opinion about your ideas. It could actually prove to be helpful when you get around to finalizing your plan.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Ignore that sudden attack of “modesty,” and step up to claim the credit you’ve so rightly earned. Remember: A lot of people are proud of you and want to share in your achievement.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) A financial “deal” that seems to be just right for you Leos and Leonas could be grounded more in gossamer than substance. Get an expert’s advice to help you check it out.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Don’t ignore that suddenly cool or even rude attitude from someone close to you. Asking for an explanation could reveal a misunderstanding you were completely unaware of.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Unless you have sound knowledge, and not just an opinion, it’s best not to step into a family dispute involving a legal matter, regardless of whom you support. Leave that to the lawyers.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) An awkward situation presents the usually socially savvy Scorpian with a problem. but a courteous and considerate approach soon helps clear the air and ease communication.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A calmer, lesstense atmosphere prevails through much of the week, allowing you to restore your energy levels before tackling a new challenge coming up by week’s end.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your approach to helping with a friend or family member’s problem could boomerang unless you take time to explain your method and how and why it (usually!) works.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Someone who gave you a lot of grief might ask for a chance for the two of you to make a fresh start. You need to weigh the sincerity of the request carefully before giving your answer.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Too much fantasizing about an upcoming decision could affect your judgment. better to make your choices based on what you know now rather than on what you might learn later.
