Landgraf resigns: Board starts process of replacement By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ coloradocommunitymedia.com During Tuesday night’s Adams County School District 50 school board meeting, Bob Landgraf officially resigned as a board director. The 1962 Westminster High School graduate is moving out of the district, which prompted his resignation. In a letter written by Landgraf to board president Ruben Pacheco, he stated that for the first time since 1953 he will not be a resident within the physical boundaries of District 50 after purchasing a home in northeastern Adams County.
Irving Street Library celebrates By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ coloradocommunitymedia.com The Irving Street Library in Westminster is celebrating 10 years of serving patrons with a day filled with food, music and animals. The free celebration will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 12, at the library at 7392 Irving St. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. hot dogs will be served on the patio, followed by a performance from Eric West at 1:30 p.m. who will demonstrate the fun of “going green” with his musical instruments. The day will end with a visit from the Den-
“It is with great sadness that I must submit my resignation from the Adams County School District Board of Education,” Landgraf said in the letter. “I wish to make it clear that I have thoroughly enjoyed my service to District 50 and realize that this decision was made after much thought.” Landgraf was first elected to the board in 1977 and served two terms before being re-elected in 2011. Pacheco and board member Dino Valente both expressed their thanks to Landgraf during the meeting and commented on his leadership. “Being on a school board is not easy, but you taught us the about the rewards and what to look forward to,” Valente said to
Landgraf. “I appreciate your wisdom, leadership and experience you brought to all of us on the board.” The board now has 60 days to replace Landgraf. If the board as whole cannot decide on a replacement, board president Pacheco must choose the replacement. Those qualified to apply must be a registered elector within District 50 boundaries, have lived in the district for at least 12 consecutive months and cannot be convicted of committing any sexual offense against a child. Those qualified and interested in becoming a District 50 board member must contact Veronica Gleaton at 720-542-5015
or vgleaton@adams50.org by 4:30 p.m. on April 14. Qualified candidates will be required to sign an affidavit stating that they meet the requirements set forth by the state of Colorado and agree to a background check. A one-page letter of interest must also be submitted to Gleaton. Interviews will be conducted at 7 p.m. on April 15 and 16, which are open to the public, in room C120 at Westminster High School. During a special meeting at 7 p.m. on April 21, the board will vote on a potential candidate. If a candidate is chosen, he or she will be seated during the regular April 22 board meeting.
ver Zoo staff at 3 p.m. who will bring along live animals and offer fun activities. “We really just want to offer a fun day for everyone,” library manager Chuck Huey said. “There will also be dance groups performing and free cookies.” Irving Street Library opened in April 2004, replacing the 76th Avenue Library. The 15,000 square-foot building features a large adult reading section, 23 computers, four study rooms, a separate children’s room and a large community room for story time and other events. Outside, families can enjoy a park, lots of open grass space with trees and sculptures, that in the summer, shoot water. “It’s wonderful to have a big space for the children so that they can feel that they belong at the library,” children’s librarian
Colleen Spahr said. “The community room is great because it’s right off the children’s room and it leads to the outdoors where the children can play at the park after story time. It’s just nice to have access to the outside. It’s been really wonderful.” In the previous library, just three computers were available to patrons to use the Internet. Huey said with the addition of 20 more, normally almost every computer is utilized all the time. Huey said many people use the computers for banking needs, travel, job searching and filing for unemployment. “Since this is a really low income area, the computers are very needed,” he said. “Some people come every day and use the computers. We see about 300 patrons daily.”
Irving Street also has some very popular programs including the English speaking conversation group, the job search program and the citizenship classes. Huey said the programs have been around for years and continue to be steady, with now sign of the need slowing down. “These types of programs you can’t get a book store,” he said. “Seeing people enjoy what we have to offer is really wonderful. When a person who’s been looking for a job for a while on our computers finds that job, it’s really rewarding knowing we had a part in that.” For more information on Irving Street Library, visit www.ci.westminster.co.us under the Libraries tab.

Oil and gas health impact study clears panel Bill and bill’s price tag expand during committee talks
The final reports would then be presented to Legislators and would be made available through the CDPHE’s website. Rep. Joann Ginal, D-Fort Collins, told the House Health, Insurance, and Environment Committee on April 1 that she is not “targeting” oil and gas companies.
By Vic Vela vvela@ coloradocommunitymedia.com The potential health impacts of oil and gas operations among Front Range residents will be studied, under a bill that is making its way through the Legislature. But increased costs to the legislation that were added during a recent House committee hearing left the bill sponsor worried that the effort might not get funded. House Bill 1297 would require the state to study the impacts that oil and gas operations may have on a person’s Report health and quality of life. The three-year study would focus on residents living in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer and Weld counties. Those counties include cities that have placed limits on fracking — 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 bill would require the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to review scientific literature regarding the health impacts of oil and gas operations, and would then conduct a health survey of randomly selected Front Range residents. If the findings warrant further research, a second-tiered part of the study would kick in, which could involve the review of medical records.

edged that companies provide economthe state. “But health is a quality of life issue, as is jobs, as is our energy jobs and education,” she said. “And fear is driving
communities to enact bans and moratoriums and fear should not be the motivation in this case.” The committee’s vote to move forward with the study fell on party lines. Rep. Spencer Swalm, R-Centennial, said that communities are already working together to deal with fracking without the state’s involvement. Swalm cited an agreement between Arapahoe County and the oil and gas industry, which would allow companies to expedite fracking applications if they exceed state standards. “Arapahoe County has come to a good understanding of how to address this approach,” Swalm said. “The elected officials out there worked hard to come to that.” Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, said he didn’t want to see a state-sponsored study that he thinks would slant toward the viewpoint of fracking opponents. McNulty said that the oil and gas industry is already being watched in a way that protects the public. “A well-regulated industry does not pose public health threats to our citizens,” he said. The bill passed the committee, but came out of it more expensive than when it arrived. The original bill would have focused only on the oil and gas-related health impacts to those who live in the counties of Adams, Boulder, Larimer and Weld. However, against Ginal’s wishes, the committee amended the study to include Arapahoe County and the City and County of Broomfield. That expects to add an additional $200,000 to the legislation, bringing the bill’s cost to about $700,000. Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge said she was concerned that the added cost could be “a game changer” when it goes before the House Appropriations Committee for funding consideration. “I am supporting the bill, but I am concerned about adding the extra cost,” Schafer said. “My county and other counties care very much about this issue, but let’s start with a small, controlled study and, in a future year, we can expand on it.”

April proclaimed Donate Life Month By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ coloradocommunitymedia.com For Westminster resident Tiffany Pierce, receiving a liver transplant wasn’t only life changing, but lifesaving. Just over a year ago the mother of two was given the news that she only had a 20 percent chance of living, with a transplant as the only chance of survival. Now Peirce is living a full life taking nothing for granted. “It’s hard to describe the feeling of gratitude I have for being given my life back,” she said. “It’s an amazing experience to live through something very critical and scary and then be told you have a second chance at life, an opportunity to get my life back and being able to do the simple things like drive a car. It was an incredible gift.” To encourage others in the community to make a difference by becoming organ, eye tissue donors, the city of Westminster proclaimed April as Donate Life Month during the March 24 city council meeting. The proclamation is part of National Donate Life Month, created by Donate Life America, encouraging citizens to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor and celebrates those who have saved lives through the gift of donation. “The easiest way for someone to be-
come an organ, eye and tissue donor is by saying yes at the driver’s license office,” Andrea Smith, the director of communications with Donor Alliance said. Another Westminster resident affected by donation is Dale Sparks, father of a donor and husband of a kidney recipient. Through his experiences he’s able to see both sides of donation and how it can be a huge benefit to people. In 2007, Dale’s wife was dealing with major kidney issues that required a kidney transplant. She was put on dialysis for five months in 2008 before receiving a kidney. Sparks said since then, his wife hasn’t had any issues with her new organ. About a year after the transplant, Sparks’ daughter passed away suddenly at the age of 37. She was a registered donor and her body tissue, including her corneas, was donated to people in need. “She was able to provide someone the ability to see that hadn’t been able to see before,” Sparks said. “She gave opportunities for several people to have enhanced lives. We want to carry on our daughter’s legacy through any and all forms of outreach.” For more information on how to become an organ, eye and tissue donor or information on Donate Life Colorado, visit www.donatelifecolorado.org.

Fire breaks out at local restaurant Staff Report Around 1:46 a.m. on April 7, the Westminster Fire Department responded to a structure fire at Mooyah Burgers, Fries & Shakes in The Orchard Town Center, on the 14600 block of Delaware in Westminster. The duct activation in the restaurant
activated a supervisory alarm notifying the 24-hour on-site security guard of the fire. The security guard found significant smoke in the unit before calling 911. Upon arrival, fire crews found heavy smoke inside the unit and the sprinkler heads were activated. Firefighters quickly distinguished the fire located in the storage area
Rocky Mountain
BEAD BAZAAR
of the restaurant. Battalion Chief David Varney said due to early notification and detection there was no additional spread of smoke or fire to any adjoining units within the building. There were no injuries and the majority of the damage to the building is from smoke and water and is estimated at $30,000, he
added. “It really makes a difference when structures have sprinkler systems in place,” Varney said. “Their activation reduces the amount of property damage and practically eliminates the spread of fire and threat of injury.”

New board directors to take office in May By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ coloradocommunitymedia.com The Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District board of directors will soon be welcoming two board members to their team. Lori Mirelez and Bob Landgraf, Jr. will be replacing the positions held by Sarah Heil and Don Ciancio II, who were both term limited. The May election was canceled March 4 due to a lack of candidates running for three open positions on the board. The third position is held by incumbent Nick McCoy, who will be serving another four-year term. This is the first time in many years the election was canceled. “We wholeheartedly welcome our returning and new board members and are very happy with the depth of commitment and knowledge they all bring to the district.” Executive Director Yvonne Fischbach said. Landgraf is returning to the board
after previously serving from 1999-2010. He was originally appointed to the board to finish a board member’s term before running for office two more times. Landgraf Landgraf grew up in the district, participating in peewee sports before becoming a district coach and referee. He said Hyland Hills has always been a part of him and he’s a big believer in the district. Mirelez Landgraf said he’s excited to bring his 10 years of experience back to the board. “I’m the most qualified person on the board because I’ve already served 10 years,” he said. “I want to make sure we continue what we’re doing and remember that our biggest asset is our employees, who are fantastic. Our job isn’t to run the district it’s to
talk to the executive director and let the employees do their job, while also holding them accountable when necessary.” Although Mirelez hasn’t served on the board of directors before, she too has grown up in the district and has also served on the Hyland Hills Foundation board for the past seven years. She played little league as a kid and also worked at Water World. She said she’s watched Hyland Hills grow so much over the years that she wants to be part of the changes. As a board member, she said she hopes to fulfill her position to the best of her ability. “I want to be the voice of the people and give the community what they would want or like to see happen in their community,” she said. “If there are any concerns the people have, I would like to address them to make the situation better.” Landgraf and Mirelez will be sworn in and officially take office during the May 20 board meeting.

Zenzinger on Discovery Tour Senator converses with local leaders, businesses and constituents By Crystal Anderson canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Sen. Rachel Zenzinger embarked on her first District Discovery Tour, Saturday, April 5, as an opportunity to engage with and learn more about the businesses in her district. The senator stopped by five area businesses to meet with the owners, discussing triumphs and challenges and discover what is changing and how she should focus her work at the capitol. ”I really wanted an opportunity to listen to the business community to figure out what opportunities are important to them and what I should work on down at the capital,” Zenzinger said.
Sen. Zenzinger represents Senate District 19, covering Arvada and Jefferson County within Westminster. She currently serves on the Senate Education Committee and the Senate Local Government Committee. During her tour, Zenzinger met with proprietors from 40 Weight Coffee, The Journey: Brain Injury Community Services, Jack’s Bar and Grill, Hi Country Wire and Telephone, and La Patisserie Bakery throughout the day, taking tours of their organizations, listening to their concerns and providing feedback about what work is being done in the Senate to addressing their concerns. ”I’ve seen, in the past, our state representatives and senators be very helpful, pushing policy that was very meaningful and helpful with people in the brain injury community,” Cheryl Catsoulis, director of The Journey, said. To learn more about the concerns of the businesses, Zenzing-
er said she came not just to listen, but to ask questions so she could learn what was going on, how business is changing, and what she could do to help. For proprietors like Catsoulis, the tour provided an opportunity to inform the senator about her work and begin a relationship, one she’s hoping to extend in the future. “For each of us to keep each other in the loop,” Catsoulis said, “When something comes up, I’m able to call her office and know what’s going on or coming up and can seek her help to advocate for us.” According to 40 Weight Coffee owner and Arvada resident, Debbie Evans, the tours provide business exposure and networking opportunities for her and her business. “Like anybody else, casting a network is good, and I’m happy to meet new people and make connections,” Evans said.
Sen. Zenzinger smiles while taking notes as Cheryl Catsoulis, director of The Journey Brain Injury Community Services, explains her business. Photo by Crystal Anderson This is the first district listening tour for the senator, but not the last. Currently, Zenzinger is planning on hosting an event where she will meet with constituents and proprietors in an open forum, as well a monthly District Discovery Tour.
“I think when you’re in the session it’s hard because your trapped in the capitol,” she said. “I think it’s really important for those who represent the community to know what’s going on in the community.”
City reviewing expansion in the Promenade By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ coloradocommunitymedia.com The Westminster Promenade could be expanding. Residents living near the Promenade were recently invited to a community meeting on March 31 discussing a preliminary development plan, PDP, and master official development plan, ODP, application currently being reviewed by the city of Westminster that would ultimately create eight pedestrian-focused urban blocks in the Promenade located at West 104th Avenue and Westminster Boulevard. The meeting was hosted by master developer, Rich Kraus with Acumen Development LLC, the development agent for EPR Properties, which owns the Westminster Promenade, Natalie Winsen, city planner and architects working on the project. The application is still in the early stages of development. Before any decisions are made, the application will be reviewed by the Westminster Planning Commission in the next couple of months before being reviewed by city council. “This project has been in review for a while now and is in the fourth stage of our
process,” Winsen said. “Once the project gets through our process it goes on to planning commission and then city council.” According to Kraus, the proposed new PDP and ODP master plan will establish the uses, densities, development requirements, such as street designs, landscaping and lighting requirements, and design guidelines, including architectural forms, materials, treatments, setbacks, for development within the eight pedestrian-focused blocks comprising the natural activity areas within the development. “The new plan will incorporate a combination of theater, commercial, residential, office and hotel uses,” he said. “Since these markets often move independently of each other, the plans allow for flexibility in uses, while keeping with the overall intent of creating a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood.” Each individual block will have its own specific site plans, which will have to go through the same approval process, first planning commission followed by the city council. Kraus said outside developers will be sought out for the residential, office and hotel components. “The addition of residential and office uses, along with new retail along 104th Av-

ment.” The project will be developed in stages. Kraus said the earliest construction would start is late this year and could take up to 24 months for completion.

Ulibarri’s work focuses on the needs of his district
Real Estate
Advertise: 303-566-4100
Miscellaneous Real Estate
By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Representing parts of Westminster, Commerce City, Federal Heights and unincorporated Adams County in Senate District 21, Senator Jessie Ulibarri is hoping to make a difference in those communities for the people who need a helping hand. This session he has a long list of legislative priorities, but there are two bills that Ulibarri is particularly passionate about. The first is Senate Bill 5, the Wage Protection Act. This legislation creates an administrative process to help workers recover wages they have earned. Under current law, to recover penalties for unpaid wages, an employee is required to make a written demand on his or her employer to recover penalties, and the penalties are increased by 50 percent if the employer’s failure to pay is willful. Under Senate Bill 5, failure to respond to a written demand would create a rebuttable presumption that the failure to pay was willful and a small claims court complaint would serve as the written demand. “Senate Bill 5 would really help workers get paid all of the wages they have earned,” Ulibarri said. “The bill also allows the Department of Labor and Employment the ability to investigate claims of wage theft and move forward with mediation.” Senate Bill 5 would also expand wage claims to include violations involving the state minimum wage and requires an employer to maintain records reflecting information in an employee’s pay statement for at least 3 years after payment of the wages. Employee records would also be available to the employee and the division of labor in the department of labor and employment under the bill and requires an employer to mail a check for wages to the employee’s last-known address within 60 days after the check was due if an employer is unable to otherwise deliver the check to the employee. “This issue came up through my constituents,” Ulibarri said. “People who were working hard and not being paid for the work they completed felt unfair to me.” House Bill 1017 is Ulibarri’s second bill of priority. This legislation grows the Housing Investment Fund, Housing Grant Fund and Low Income Tax Credit in order to create and maintain affordable housing throughout Colorado. The bill would expand the types of uses for the Housing Investment Fund and the Housing Grant Fund and also create a tax credit to build more affordable housing.

Ulibarri said this bill came out of the need for affordable housing throughout Colorado, which includes the areas recovering from last year’s floods. As rent prices climb, Ulibarri said, affordable housing is needed more than ever because as rent becomes more expensive, people are having a harder time finding a place to live. “The highest rate of childhood poverty is in my district and in the metro area. There are a lot of children who are struggling in Adams County,” he said. “We know that housing can help people to move forward, find better jobs and eventually move out of poverty. But as rent prices go up trying to make ends meet is getting further and further out of reach. So affordable housing is very necessary.”
adams county news in a hurry Three nominated for youth awards
Adams County Board of Commissioners recognized the three outstanding local youths who will represent unincorporated Adams County as the nominees for this year’s Adams County Mayors and Commissioners Youth Awards (ACMCYA)—an annual, two-tiered awards program that honors Adams County teenagers, ages 13 to 19, who have overcome personal adversity and created positive changes in their lives. The ACMCYA teens are nominated by counselors, parents, coaches and teachers for local and county consideration. This year’s nominees are Roberto Chacon Chacon and Taytiana Anderson from Global Leadership Academy and Fayelene Duran from Regis University. All three students have overcome significant challenges in order to excel in school. The Board of Commissioners presented each nominee with an awards plaque and certificate at a recent public hearing, which was preceded by a reception. “These courageous students are proof that even the greatest obstacles can be overcome with hard work and dedication,” said Board of Commissioners Chair Charles “Chaz” Tedesco. “These young citizens are truly an inspiration to us all.”

By Ashley Reimers
areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Creativity Club, made up of freshman from Legacy and Northglenn high schools, is headed to the Destination ImagiNation state competition on April 12. The team earned first place at the north metro regional tournament on March 8 and since then has been perfecting their craft. “Leading up to state we are really just trying to make everything as clean as we can,” said team member Matt Davis. “We’re practicing a lot and even adding a little more to our skit.” Destination ImagiNation, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that provides educational programs for students to learn and experience creativity, teamwork and problem solving. The educational program requires student teams to solve open-ended challenges and present their solutions at tournaments. The Creativity Club is made up of Davis, Nick Solusod, Grace Rome, Melissa Stein, Ezzera Raney, Angela Korver and Claire Hamilton. Rachel Rome, Grace Rome’s mom, is the team manager and oversees the practices and ensures each member makes it to the tournaments, but that’s about it. “The team does everything themselves. They come up with the idea and they bring it to life,” Rachel Rome said. “I can make suggestions here and there, but it’s really up to them to work together as a team to solve the challenges.” Some of the teammates have been together on a DI team since the second grade and the others have joined as the years have gone by. For all of them being on the team isn’t just about winning tournaments and making it to state, it’s about friendship and learning lifelong skills. “I really enjoy the time I get to spend with my friends. We have a lot of fun together,” Solusod said. “Plus I’m learning team building skills, leadership skills and public speaking skills.” During the regional tournament the Creativity Club also earned the the Renaissance Award for problem solving with “above and beyond” creative solutions.

opinions / yours and ours
The times — they are a changin’ When Bob Dylan wrote the above song lyrics he probably never grasped how many times op-ed columnists would use his song title. However, it fits the current times. We see it everywhere including most aspects of our lives. Certainly in politics, we are seeing a shift in the public’s increasing preference for Republicans over Democrats. For those of us who follow the “political scene”, we know that it is a forever ebb and flow of change. Catch these partial lyrics from his song — “Come senators, congressmen. Please heed the call. Don’t stand in the doorway. Don’t block up the hall. For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled …”
A LOT OF CANDIDATES ARE UP
The latest Associated Press-GfK poll demonstrates the shifting tide toward Republican candidates in the upcoming mid-term Congressional elections. Remember your high school civics class — the entire 435 members of the House of Representatives are up for grabs and 1/3 of the U.S. Senate seats are to be determined this coming November. Plus in Colorado, we have the Governor’s
race, State legislator candidates and county elected officials on the “chopping block.” So, all seven Congressional seats representing different parts of Colorado are to be determined along with U.S. Senator Mark Udall’s re-election bid for another 6 year term. Governor Hickenlooper will face the successful Republican gubernatorial candidate from their primary election.
POLL FAVORS GOP
The AP-GfK poll shows the GOP gaining ground. Those polled who are registered and are most interested in politics show Republicans favored by a healthy margin of 14 percent, or 51 percent to 37 percent
in March. In January, this group was about evenly split. Also, favorable views of the GOP have improved with 38 percent overall saying they hold a favorable impression of the party. Voters are becoming more disenchanted with the Democratic Party’s “package” as the “new normal” in jobs sets in. However, when it comes to overall Congressional approval, the results show a stagnant and negative picture. A whopping 82 percent disapprove of the job which Congress is doing regardless of party preference. Amen!!
UDALL “UNDER THE GUN”
Here in Colorado, it would appear that incumbent U.S. Senator Mark Udall will not have a “cake walk” in his bid for re-election. He tied himself too close to President Obama on too many high profile issues. In particular, Udall has lost favor with voters over his strident support of the Obamacare health plan and how existing policyholders could keep their current policy. Plus, the Republicans recently pulled a major coup by “switching dance partners” with Congressman Cory Gardner now running
against Udall instead of extremist Ken Buck and others. My gut tells me that Gardner just might pull off an upset. It would be similar to the UConn Huskies upsetting the University of Florida Gators, the No. 1 seed in the March Madness basketball tournament.
CHANGING TIMES FOR ALL
That is enough election stuff for now. There are many other examples of our changing times. Just look at the continued demise of printed newspapers; the ever increasing use of technology in so many facets of our lives, more popularity in organically grown foods; more families opting out of traditional public schools; less Christians worshipping in main-stream churches; more toll road and commuter rail lines being financed and operated by private sector companies and on and on and on. Needless to say, Bob Dylan knew what he was singing about way back in the 1960’s when he recorded this popular hit song. Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

Remembering true love How many times have you walked into a nursing home and witnessed a man or woman trying to communicate with their loved one. And so often the patient doesn’t have a clue their loved one is there. And yet the life partner faithfully sits there talking to the patient as if nothing has changed. When I was back to Saul Centre a few weeks ago I was given this article by a caretaker. It just touched my heart and I think it will do the same for you. It reminded me of a 97- year-old gentleman who lost his wife several years ago. He always says, “I married my wife not until she dies, but for all eternity.”
True love
It was approximately 8:30 one busy morning when an elderly gentleman in his 80’s walked in to a clinic to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9 a.m. The doctor took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him. Seeing the man looking anxiously at his watch, the doctor decided he would take time then to evaluate his wound. Upon examination, the doctor found the man’s thumb well healed so he talked to one of the other doctors, got the needed supplies to remove the stitches and redressed the wound. While taking care of his wound, the two began to engage in conversation. The doctor asked the man why he was in such a hurry. The man replied that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.
The doctor then inquired as to her health and the man told the doctor that she had been there for quite a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer’s disease. As the doctor finished dressing the man’s wound he asked if the man’s wife would be worried if he was a bit late. The man said she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now. The surprised doctor then said, “And you are still going every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?” The man smiled as he patted the doctor’s hand and said, “She doesn’t know me but I still know who she is.” Quote of the Week “I choose to be happy.” Niece, Becky Rankila while going through a difficult time. Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned... Vi June is past Democratic state representative for House District 35. She is a former mayor of Westminster and a former newspaper publisher. A Westminster resident for more than four decades, she and her husband, Bob, have five grown children and eight grandchildren.

April 10, 2014
Uncomfortable with business casual in workplace As I write this, I am pondering what to wear for a business meeting in a few hours. The meeting invitation said “business casual,” which immediately sent a shaft of dread into my chest. That’s because, to my mind, business casual is one of the worst things to happen to women in the workplace. I’m not talking here about a gender-discrimination topic — but this is a gender-based issue. The concept of a relaxed dress code at work started for me in the 1980s with what was known around the office as “California casual.” This term has always had a certain kind of cachet to me, a land-locked Colorado-born girl, that conjured up visions of breezy pastels and topsider boat shoes with jaunty white leather laces. In reality, I wasn’t that far off—lightcolored khaki pants became preferred attire, usually with an open-collared shirt. Topsiders were acceptable, as long as they were worn with socks.
Now, you might have noticed here that what I am describing is clothing perfectly suitable for men for California casual, casual Fridays, dress-down days, and, ultimately, business casual. Of course, women were also free to adopt this casual style, but in my experience, women in khakis and a shirt looked less professional than the men (and far less comfortable). And as I’m backpedaling though my mind about what my options are for my meeting, I’m aware of my own discomfort with business casual attire.
I usually prefer not to wear pants, unless they’re jeans, which do occasionally sneak into a casual dress code if they are “nice.” I’ve also noticed that when said dress code also allows tennis shoes, I have a literal spring in my step and I go about my work with more of a lilt. But tennies are often off the list, and the quandary for me becomes what shoes to wear with pants … I do not like wearing socks. It’s far easier for me to pair flats with a casual skirt, but there’s also a catch to that — for much of my professional career, we women have been required to wear pantyhose. This sort of takes away the whole aspect of going casual! Not only are bare legs more fashionable these days — check out any red carpet — but going without hose is way more comfortable, especially in warmer weather. But this item of women’s wear is so contentious that sometimes whole meetings are dedicated to this decision,
Making a present of the past My daughter is now about seven weeks away from graduating high school. Wow, that time went fast! I still remember the day she was born, as, I think, most parents remember the days their children are born. What we have a hard time remembering is who we were on the day our children were born. There is a line in the movie “Field of Dreams” that has always struck me: when Ray Kinsella’s father takes off his catcher’s mask and looks around, Ray — played by Kevin Costner — says, “I only saw him later, when he was worn down by life.” What an interesting thought! Our children, for all the time we spend watching them grow (in the blink of an eye!), never, ever get to see who we were at their age. In some cases, this is a really, really good thing. There are a lot of things in all of our pasts that I’m sure we’d be just as happy our children never know about. And yet, there is a part of me that sincerely wishes my daughter knew who I used to be, who the boy was that her mother fell in love with. I wasn’t always the guy who spent hours at a time trying to figure out our taxes or how to pay for them; I didn’t always stew for days over major purchases like cars; and I certainly wasn’t always the guys who rolled his eyes and sighed when things didn’t go the way I planned. No, seriously — I used to be a very laid back, roll-with-the punches sort of guy. I was even frequently known to laugh. But she’ll never get to know that guy. And, that’s all right — if I were still that guy, our house would have been foreclosed on and all our stuff repossessed years ago. Frankly, I was kind of an idiot, and if I hadn’t been “worn down by life,” she wouldn’t have much of a future in front of her. But there are lessons to be learned in that, too. If she could see how many mistakes I recovered from, she might learn to be less afraid of risk. If she could see when I let an opportunity slip by because of uncertainty, she might learn to seize the day. If she knew

NEWS IN A HURRY Lawsuit dismissed
Arvada resident, Russell Weisfield, filed a lawsuit against the City of Arvada in early February stating secret ballots were used by city council in a special meeting Jan. 10 election to select Councilman Jerry Marks. The lawsuit also cited the ballots violated Colorado’s Open Meeting laws, which states public meetings must be announced and posted in a timely manner, such as a 24-hour notice, and notes the use of secret ballots is prohibited. The lawsuit asked for Marks to be removed from office until another election could be held, in which the council members votes were publically recorded. The lawsuit was dismissed March 30 by Jefferson County District Judge Margie Enquist citing that the process may have violated the law but Weisfield did not have standing to bring forth his claim as no personal injury was demonstrated in the matter.

EDUCATION NEWS IN A HURRY Senate finalizes approval for teacher evaluation system
how much my life changed the day she was born, she might understand some of the decisions I’ve made since then, and how much her life will change someday, too. So, in the interest of allowing her a glimpse of who that person was, several years ago I started writing a letter to her, trying to capture at least a shadow of who I used to be. It’s not that I want to recapture any of my past “glory” for her (what a short and boring story that would be!), but just to give her a small picture in my old voice. Frankly, I haven’t been nearly as diligent in maintaining that letter as I would have liked to be, but it’s still better than nothing. My wife told me the other day about another idea she heard: when a child is born, open an email account in their name. As the years go by, send to that account pictures, stories, notes, ideas—anything that might give them a picture of their past. Then, when they turn 18, or 21, or whatever, give them the password to the account. But the method is of no matter — the effort is important. I would encourage anybody out there with a child on the way, or who intends to have a child some day, start some sort of a record of yourself. Your children deserve to know who you are, not just who you are going to be.
and it never seems to be the women who object to a no-hose policy. I’m not really sure why it matters to people who don’t have to wear them ... Granted, there are some months in Colorado when tights or pants are preferable simply because of the temperature. And I found when I worked in health care that wearing hose was non-negotiable, and I accepted that, usually opting for slacks or a suit with pants and regular socks and shoes. But today it’s springtime in the Rockies, and as soon as put down my pen, I’m going to rummage up a swingy skirt and toss on a blazer and greet the world in barelegged beauty. And I’m quite comfortable with that.

The road to a deeper self
Miners Alley Playhouse explores art, aging By Clarke Reader
creader@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Aging is an inevitable part of every life, but it is up to each person to determine the grace and dignity with which they move through their later years. Miners Alley Playhouse’s latest production is by award-winning South African playwright Athol Fugard, and tells the story of Helen Martins and her journey to aging on her own terms. “The Road to Mecca” will be playing at the theater, 1224 Washington Ave., through May 4. Performances are 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 6 p.m. on Sunday. According to director Len Matheo, the show follows the true story of Helen Martins (Deborah Curtis), an elderly woman living in South Africa, who goes out on her own in her life and art, and earns the ire of her conservative village. “The show isn’t about politics or religion, but instead is about the power of creativity and independence,” Matheo said. “Fugard also expertly dives into aging, trust and friendship. It’s an amazing play that can explore all these things.” “Miss Helen” — as she is referred to in the play — is living outside of a small village, creating sculptures and living as a kind of pariah. However, when she receives pressure from the Rev. Marius

IF YOU GO WHAT: “The Road to Mecca” WHERE: Miners Alley Playhouse 1224 Washington Ave., Golden WHEN: Through May 4. 7: 30 p.m. - Friday and Saturday 6 p.m. - Sunday COST: $23 adult $20 senior and youth $12 children under 12 INFORMATION: 303-935-3044 or www.minersalley.com (Tim Fishbaugh) to move out of her home and go to a retirement home, Elsa (Miriam BC Tobin) helps her stand on her own. Curtis said that “The Road to Mecca” has been on her radar for a long time, an she is thrilled to act in a role that she has long wanted to play. “I feel very privileged to get this chance — it’s not something you get to do often,” she said. “I’m so inspired by the real woman and the real creations that are now in museums.” Martins would go on to become South Africa’s top Outsider Artists, and her home is now a collection of her works. According to information provided by Miners Alley, she was fascinated with the interplay of reflection and space, of light, dark, and different colors. She decorated the inside of her house, and then continued on to her garden, which she filled with biblical
figures, Oriental saints, mythical figures, birds, and castles made from cement, empty bottles, and pieces of glass, which all face east towards Mecca. After 1976 when Martins died, her home — called The Owl House — became a museum. “Her character and strength in not becoming what the culture said she had to be is just amazing,” Curtis said. “Through the course of the play she really discovers her own inner strength, and that was exciting to play.” One of the biggest challenges in bringing the show to life, according to Matheo, was getting the South African dialect right, and so a dialect coach was enlisted to help out the actors. “That accent is a big part of transporting the audience to this village,” he said. “I also did a lot of research about what it would have been like in that time, especially for a woman to speak out the way she did.” Curtis found the character of Martins incredibly relatable, and that is something she is hoping to convey in her performance. She also wants to highlights the inspiring meaning behind Martins’ struggle. “Working on this character brought me to this deep emotional place, especially as an aging woman myself,” Curtis said. “The themes are bigger than just one woman — they’re a struggle we all go through. It was a profound experience.” For more information, call 303-9353044 or visit www.minersalley.com.

Ice cream eatery the bombe
You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! And the Hilltop and Crestmoor neighborhoods may be screaming the loudest now that the High Point Creamery is coming soon at 215 S. Holly St. on the southwest corner of Holly and Cedar. Husband and wife team Chad Stutz and Erika Thomas are opening their first retail location of High Point Creamery this spring with several more planned. The signature item will be the “bombe,” which Thomas describes as “a molded ice cream dessert that has its origins in Victorian-era France. First we layer ice cream, let it harden, and then we add a meringue, let that harden and then top it off with another layer of delicious ice cream. All of this then sets in an authentic copper mold from the 1960s. After it hardens, the bombe is removed from its mold and sliced like a cake to serve.” High Point also will serve sorbets and unusual ice cream toppings such as candied violets or black lava salt. The Creamery plans to host chefs from notable area restaurants to collaborate on their own specialty offerings.

Eavesdropping on a conversation between a real estate agent buying “open house,” “under contract” and “sold” signs with a customer-service representative at RMD Signs, a real estate and commercial signs manufacturer in Englewood: “I guess I look awfully optimistic buying all these signs when I haven’t even shown the house yet.

MILITARY NEWS Navy Seaman Nathaniel J. Dykstra, son of Donald L. Dykstra of Denver, Colo. and Ellen P. Dykstra of Lakewood, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill., with honors. During the eight-week program, Dykstra completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ‘’Navy’’ flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor. Dykstra is a 2013 graduate of Lutheran High School, Parker.

ADULT DAY SERVICE RESCUED US!
On any given day during the week, you might find Jane engaged with the staff and clients of The Senior Hub’s Adult Day Program in Northglenn. Her family is able to work, secure in the fact that she is well cared for during the day. A couple of years ago Jane’s family were talking to lawyers about her needs. One of the lawyers contacted a registered nurse looking for op-
tions and care. It just so happened that The Senior Hub and the Adult Day Service was listed in some resource information. Jane was suffering from Alzheimer’s and had developed more risk of falling or wondering off over the last few years. Her need for daytime supervision and companionship brought the family to our program desperate for help. As with all caregivers, the guilt they
had about placing Jane outside the home was weighing heavy on them. Our Program Director advised that, “Many of our clients families experience the Caregivers Guilt Syndrome, making placement difficult. We work with the families to help alleviate their fears and let them know that it is safe and alright to leave a loved one in the care of professionals, as we have here at the Adult Day Service.” Jane and her family are enthusiastic about the services provided at the Adult Day Services program. “The staff are just wonderful. Your program has allowed us to go on with our lives guilt free, knowing that mom is safe and cared for.” And Jane enjoys her time with us contributing to the day’s events and being a part of our circle of friends and staff. She never wants to leave at the end of the day. Jane’s family have advised us that, sometimes she doesn’t remember things very well, like she always thinks she left her purse
at work, but she comes home every day and says, “those people over there sure are nice.” She also appears to be more emotionally happy and feels like she has accomplished something after her visits at ADS. “The Senior Hub’s Adult Day Services program really did rescue us…” “We wanted to take good care of Jane but didn’t know where to
turn until we found your program. Jane’s illness has given us a glimpse of what may be ahead for each of us in the near future. We can only hope that a program as wonderful and caring as yours will still be available to us then. Thank you for your wonderful service.” If you have a loved one who needs care during the day, or possibly someone to come in and help
out in their home, call The Senior Hub. Helping the elderly and their families continues to be the focus of our agency. For Adult Day Services call 303-287-2400 or our main office at 303-426-4408 today… Let us rescue you and ease your guilt by helping you to lovingly care for your aging family members.

WHAT DO IRISH, DUCKS AND ALPACA’S HAVE IN COMMON? Nothing but their recent visit to The Senior Hub Adult Day Service in Northglenn. Program Director, Nancy Kingsbury recently brought in her pet duck Alfred to share with the ADS clients. Alfred is friendly and chatty, (sorry, I mean quacky) with everyone he meets and the clients enjoyed the visit. On March 17th The Heritage Irish Step
Dancers came in to help ADS clients celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. “Their costumes are lovely,” noted one of our clients who smiled through the whole performance. We want to thank Ariel Bennett and the students from the school for sharing their talents with our clients here at the Adult Day Service. You brought with you a whole lot of Irish Sunshine and it was sincere-
MARCH FOR MEALS: A BIG SUCCESS We want to thank all our friends and family who participated in this year’s March for Meals events.

And remember… if you’re headed out to eat again in the future, please stop by one of these restaurants, have great meal and thank them for participating in the support of The Senior Hub Meals on Wheels program and our mission to care for older adults. THANK YOU!!!!
ly appreciated. And then came our most unusual visitors ever to The Senior Hub Adult Day Service. Payton and Dasher, two baby alpacas from Annies Alpaca Ranch in Longmont, and their mom Ann Danielson stopped in for a visit which was very exciting, and load of fun. Thanks for sharing information about Alpaca’s and showing us how cute and
cuddly they can be. As you can see, our Adult Day Service is not just a place to sit all day but one of compassion, fun, education, companionship and camaraderie. Thanks to all who provided special moments for those in our care. If you’d like more information about The Senior Hub Adult Day Service, please call 303-287-2400 and speak with Nancy.

Inmate death ruled suicide It is unclear how man acquired the cord to hang self By Tammy Kranz tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com The district attorney’s office will not be filing charges against any detention personnel for an inmate’s death at the Adams County Jail because it appears to have been suicide. Heath Michael Kennel died late Oct. 5, 2013, or early Oct. 6, 2013, while in custody awaiting sentencing on serious felony charges.
“All the evidence supports the conclusion that Mr. Kennel died as a result of suicide and there is no indication that the detention personnel contributed to his death,” wrote Joseph S. Pacyga, chief trial district attorney with the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, in a letter dated April 3 to Sheriff Doug Darr. However, investigators were not able to determine how Kennel was able to obtain the shoe lace or shoe-lace-like string he used to hang himself in his cell. Investigators interviewed several inmates at the jail and watched surveillance videos. “In the 30 or more hours of video, Mr Kennel was not seen with any string/cord or acquiring any string/cord,” the let-
ter states. “It is unknown how Mr. Kennel obtained the cord that he used to commit suicide.” Kennel was found guilty on Oct. 4, 2013, by a jury of three counts of sexual assault on a child as a pattern of abuse and three counts of sexual assault on a child. All these counts are felonies and Kennel was facing a prison sentence of up to life in prison. His sentencing date was on Dec. 2. Kennel did not appear to be depressed or suicidal to jail personnel, however, a detective reported that Kennel’s attorney said his client was “very suicidal.” However, according to the letter, the attorney said he did not tell the deputies this because “most clients don’t want the information passed
on because they end up in the medical unit wearing a suicide suit.” According to surveillance video, Kennel could be seen at his cell door at 9:21 p.m. on Oct. 5. Nobody entered or left that cell until a little after 4 a.m. Oct. 6 when deputies arrived and discovered Kennel with a noose around his neck. The jail’s medical staff attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation and deployed the automated external defibrillator (AED). Their attempts at resuscitation were taken over by Platte Valley Ambulance and Brighton Fire personnel when they arrived at 4:13 a.m. He was pronounced dead at Platte Valley Medical Center at 4:20 a.m.
Changes expected to American Indian tuition bill Classification of specific tribes becomes roadblock for advancement By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill that seeks to provide tuition relief for out-of-state American Indian students will be scaled back because of difficulties over the cost assessment of the legislation, according to the bill sponsor. The original intention of House Bill 1124 was to allow all students living out of state who have tribal connections to Colorado to receive in-state tuition rates at state colleges and universities. But the legislation is expected to be
amended to apply only to incoming students and not American Indians who are currently enrolled. “What do you say to that person?” said Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, the bill sponsor. “Maybe that’s something we can work on Report next year.” Salazar said the changes to the bill became necessary after learning more about how colleges and universities count American Indian students. Under the bill, only students who are among one of the 48 federally recognized tribes that have historical ties to Colorado qualify for in-state tuition. But Salazar said

that estimating costs is difficult because schools don’t dig deep into the specific tribal backgrounds of students. The Legislative Council estimates that the bill’s first-year cost to the state will exceed $668,000. Also, state colleges and universities were estimated to lose more than $5 million in tuition revenue under the original version of the bill. However, they are expected to see an increase of students who wouldn’t otherwise attend their schools. But all of those statistics would be difficult to calculate under the current system of American Indian student calculation, which Salazar calls a counting system that results in “pie in the sky numbers.” “They have a bunch of students out there who just check the box and say they’re American Indian, but they don’t
Business tax credit bill moves forward Employers given more incentive to create Colorado jobs By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The expansion of a job-growth incentive tax credit is gaining momentum at the Legislature. Under current law, businesses can earn income tax credits over a five-year period for every job they create in Colorado. The new bill would expand the availability of that credit to eight years and would make other modifications to an effort that received bipartisan support at the Legislature last year. House Minority Leader Report Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, and Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, said the effort to expand the law is a testament to its popularity. “While our economy is starting to move along, this is a bill that will help us move back to that robust state,” Kraft-Tharp said on the House floor on April 4, just before House members gave initial approval to the legislation. The bill was expected to easily pass the House during a final vote, which was scheduled for April 7. The changes to the bill are business friendly. In addition to expanding the availability

prove which tribe they’re from,” Salazar said. “They can have, as you sometimes hear, a Cherokee Indian princess grandmother, and they mark the box, `American Indian.’” Salazar said the changes to the bill could end up being a good thing because colleges would then have to start classifying the specific tribes from which students belong. He also said that the cost to the state “would be quite minimal, if anything at all,” once the bill is amended. “I did run it past stakeholders and the stakeholders said it’s better to have in-state tuition for American Indian students than not,” Salazar said. “And if it looks like the bill is going to die because of a wrong fiscal note, then we don’t want the bill to die.”
of the credit, the bill reduces a requirement that exists in the current law, which mandates that businesses must offer an employee 110 percent of the average county wage. The new bill lowers that requirement to 100 percent. The bill also alters the “burden of proof” that companies must meet in order to qualify for the credit. Currently, businesses must prove that the jobs likely would not have been located in Colorado had it not been for the credit. According to the bill’s fiscal note, the changes to the bill “require employers to state that, without the credit, the probability of locating the jobs in Colorado would be reduced.” But the tax credit has guardrails because it is performance-based. The new employee must be employed for a full year before the business receives the credit, which is equal to one-half of the amount of what employers pay for a worker’s federal Social Security and Medicare taxes. Aiding the bill’s chances of becoming law is a reduced fiscal impact that was presented to the House Appropriations Committee just hours before it received a full vote in the House. The original version of the bill would have cost the state $55 million through the 2027-2028 fiscal year. But fiscal analysts and bill sponsors managed to lower that amount to $30 million. “It is important to keep Colorado competitive and continue to attract new businesses to the state,” Rep. Kraft-Tharp said in a statement after the House vote. “This bill will create good jobs and help more businesses hire workers.”

State firefighting fleet cleared for takeoff By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com One way or another, the state will soon free up money to get an unfunded aerial firefighting fleet off the ground. The governor’s office and legislative leaders are on board with a spending plan that would set aside $21 million to purchase or contract planes and helicopters that are equipped to fight fires. The money was approved through an amendment to the annual state budget that was debated in the Senate on April 3. Gov. John Hickenlooper’s office and lawmakers will have to get creative to find where in the budget the fleet funding will be secured. But all sides agree that this will happen this year — much to excitement of the legislator who has been instrumental in driving the creation of the Colorado Firefighting Air Corps. “Quite frankly, this is the most important legislation of my life,” said Sen. Steve King, RGrand Junction. The funding behind King’s effort comes on the heels of a much-anticipated state fire report that was released last week. The Colorado Division of Fire Prevention
and Control found that the state lacks resources in key firefighting areas, including a lack of aerial firefighting capabilities. “Colorado does not have the ability to deliver appropriate aviation resources in a timely fashion to support local suppression response to small fires while they are still small,” states the report, which was authored by CDFPC Director Paul Cooke. The report was mandated through last year’s passage of a bill — sponsored by King and Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge — that created the Colorado Firefighting Air Corps, a state-owned firefighting fleet. The “idea” of the fleet became law, but the legislation went unfunded, at least until the state could learn more about the feasibility of having its own fire fleet. Prior to the release of the fire report, Hickenlooper had been non-committal on the idea of undertaking the potentially enormous costs that come with operating a state-owned aerial fleet. However, Hickenlooper had been open to exploring ways of sharing those costs through a multi-state effort. For months, it was uncertain whether the fleet would ever become a reality. That all changed after Cooke released his 103-page fire report on March 28.
Cooke presented the report’s finding to a special legislative committee on April 3. He told lawmakers that Colorado competes with other states for federal resources to fight fires, and that the state doesn’t have the proper amount of tools needed to combat early or late-season wildfires. Cooke also said that the state currently has just two, single-engine air tankers available to deal with the entire state’s firefighting needs. “The state, in terms of being able to help to bring overwhelming force to a wildfire, that’s not the case...” he said. Cooke’s report recommended that the state acquire $33 million worth of firefighting aircraft and other technology. But Cooke later told the governor’s office that it should hold off on acquiring two large, fixed-wing air tankers — as his report recommended — because precipitation from this winter’s weather makes it difficult to determine when those large tankers would even be needed this year. That cuts price tag by $12 million. So the state plans to move forward with the purchase of two multi-mission fixedwing planes and will contract for the use of four Type III rotor wing planes and four single-engine air tankers.
The state will also spend $100,000 to set up a wildfire information management system, which will provide real-time fire information within the statewide fire communications system. The rest of the $21 million will be spent of airport fees, equipment and other related expenses. The Senate set aside the fleet money for this year’s budget in a placeholder funding area, until it is moved to another area within the budget. Henry Sobanet, the state’s budget director, said that the funding is expected to come from the state’s Tax Payer Bill of Rights reserves and through the delaying of paying back certain cash funds. “I think we’ll get the funding from the exact places where we want to see it come from,” Sobanet said. Alan Salazar, Hickenlooper’s chief strategist, said the governor’s office believes this is a large investment worth undertaking. “We don’t throw $20 million around lightly,” Salazar said. “But in the context of the potential costs of the fire and getting ahead of it, the consensus... is that this is a wise new position for the state to take.”
Vacant buildings to become apartments County approves plans for new housing in Welby By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two buildings that have sat vacant for years in Welby will be given new breath of life. The Adams County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved during its March 24 regular meeting to rezone the .71 acre parcel at 7650 Washington St. and plans for the buildings to be converted into apartments. The site is along the east side of Washington north of 75th and south of 78th in south Adams County. “The property has suffered from disrepair and disinvestment in recent years,” Case Manager Michael Weaver said. “With new ownership comes an opportunity to revitalize a neglected parcel in Welby. A higher density use is appropriate at this location as indicated in the Adams County Comprehensive Plan.” The two-story brick buildings will feature six apartments — two on each floor, including the walk-out basement — for a total of 12 units. There will be 10 twobedroom units with approximately 900
square feet, one three-bedroom unit with approximately 1,088 square feet and one one-bedroom unit with approximately 767 square feet. There will be 30 parking spots, outdoor lighting installed on the structures and two access points off Washington. Craig Nelsen, applicant for the rezoning, said that no one has expressed concerns about the plans. However, some people have suggested that property may work better as commercial or office space. “There’s commercial property above and below the property that is vacant as it is, so adding more vacant commercial property or office space to the area I don’t see how that helps,” he said. The Future Land Use map designates this site as mixed use employment, which allows for a mixture of employment uses, including offices, retail, indoor manufacturing, and distribution and warehousing, Weaver said. “The Comprehensive Plan indicates that in the Welby area, additional residential uses may be appropriate in the mixed use employment area,” he said. The board in 2012 rejected plans for the buildings to be used as a halfway house. According to county documents, during the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, the site served as an adult correction facility and was a
LEGISLATIVE NEWS IN A HURRY Senate passes long bill
The Senate passed the annual state budget bill on April 4, with bipartisan support. The $23 billion “long bill” had previously passed the House. The Senate’s work included the passage of an amendment that sets aside $21 million for the creation of a state aerial firefighting fleet. The 2014-2015 fiscal year budget features a $200 million increase in K-12 education funding and $100 million that would backfill education budget cuts that the Legislature enacted during recession years. The bill also includes $100 million in additional higher education funding and provides relief for homeowners who were impacted by last year’s floods and
wildfires. The long bill now heads back to the House for the consideration of Senate amendments.

No fun like work “Real Happiness at Work” by Sharon Salzberg c.2014, Workman Publishing $13.95 / $17.50 Canada, 262 pages You started a business to make money. You accepted the job to feed your family, pay bills, or save for retirement. You founded a corporation because you saw a need and it could be lucrative. You took the position because it was in your field and it offered opportunities. You didn’t accept work because it makes you happy … but it would be nice if it did. And you might actually achieve that if you read “Real Happiness at Work” by Sharon Salzberg. Put a bunch of different-thinkers in a building. Give them tasks, salaries commensurate on experience, ability to voice their opinions, and tell them to work together. That can be recipe for drama and stress; for sure, it’s representative of the place where most full-time-working adults spend the majority of their waking hours. So how can you ensure that your experiences in that place are good ones? Salzberg says that there are Eight Pillars of Happiness in the Workplace you should shoot for: balance, concentration, compassion, resilience, communication and connection, integrity, meaning, and open awareness. Without the first pillar, balance, Salzberg says that it’s “hard to do a good job or enjoy our work.” Balance can be achieved through meditation, mindfulness, and allowing for “mental space,” even when you’re in a crowded room. One of the keys to balance is keeping personal life and work life separate. Concentration allows us to focus on individual tasks, which “frees our mind of distraction and actually makes us more pro-
ductive.” Humans, remember, are not well-wired for multitasking. Compassion allows you to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, and eliminates judgment for others as well as for yourself. Utilize compassion for you, and you’ll overcome self-doubt and self-blame. Resilience lets you bounce back “without rumination or regret.” Communication and connection promote “skillful selfexpression.” Integrity keeps you on a path you can live with. Meaning allows understanding for how you experience work: is it a job, a career, or a calling? Your answer will help you find pleasure in your work. Finally, open awareness lets you accept your job as it is, without “feeling a need” to change it. It “leads to acceptance,” and “the end of conflict” and day-to-day struggles for the illusion of control. Let’s put this right out there: “Real Happiness for Work” is very new-agey. Meditation and a Zen-like attitude are at the heart of author Sharon Salzberg’s teachings here. No more anger, self-doubt, or simultaneous projects; you want “onepoint attention” and “loving-kindness” instead, which she says is achieved through meditation at work. That’s good in theory, but may be difficult at many workplaces I can easily think of. It may be impossible at others. Regardless, there’s no doubt that this would take plenty of practice and
wouldn’t be easy. And yet – experts know meditation works and it’s hard to argue with that. This book was too new-agey for me but
if you’re at the end of your work-rope, it might be worth a try. For you, “Real Happiness at Work” could, maybe, start a better workplace.

Flood relief bill passes House
Changes made to a flood relief bill appeased Republicans in the House on April 4. The legislation provides tax relief for victims who were impacted by last year’s floods. The bill also provides relief for future victims whose homes might be destroyed by a natural disaster. Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee said during a recent hearing that they were concerned about the ongoing cost to the state. That problem seemed to have been fixed on April 4, when the bill was amended to create a process that allows future legislatures to conduct reviews of the legislation.

Taking awareness for a spin Nonprofit selling pinwheels for Child Abuse Prevention Awareness month By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com Soon, images of blue and silver will be turning across windows, walls, fields and lawns in Arvada as pinwheel gardens begin to bloom. The month of April is national child abuse prevention awareness month, and throughout April, the Ralston House, an Arvada nonprofit providing services to sexually and physically abused children and teens, is selling blue and silver pinwheels to encourage abuse awareness and prevention and raise funds. “Pinwheels are happy,” Ashley Irlando, development officer at the Ralston House said. “They’re not sad, as they’re being the sign for hope and healing — they’re really unique.” Started in 2011, the Ralston House Pinwheel program sells individual and sets of pinwheels to citizens and businesses throughout the Front Range, encouraging them to create gardens of blue and silver in support of child abuse prevention aware-
ness. Over the last four years, organizers have seen the program grow and expand throughout the community. Since its inception, the program has raised more than $61,000 benefiting their programs and services, and organizers hope to raise an additional $40,000 this year. “It’s a really unique way for people to make a difference,” Irlando said. “You never know who you’re going to talk to that one; might need our services or two; might know someone who does.” As part of the program, participants receive a kit, or a box of instructions and suggestions on ways to plant the pinwheels, sell the pinwheels and advertise the pinwheels. To show off the pinwheels, businesses throughout the Front Range will plant gardens of pinwheels wherever they are visible, outside, inside, or on top of a cupcake, to creatively show off their support for the Ralston House. “We try and keep it fun,” said Hannah Jackson, general manager at Rheinlander Bakery, “Each week we do a vanilla cupcake with a pinwheel on top, and we do a kid’s favorite every week, such as Oreo and twist, with $1 of each cupcake sold going back to the Ralston House.” From large gardens around Faith Bible Chapel and Northglenn High School to the small individual pinwheel placed in a window or lawn, the program helps to encour-

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Although things are pretty hectic through much of the week, some quiet time with loved ones helps restore balance. An unexpected visitor brings welcome news about a mutual friend. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Getting used to change isn’t always easy for the Big Cat. But make the adjustments gradually, and soon you’ll hardly remember when things were any different from how they are now. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Continue to stay the course you’ve chosen, and avoid distractions that could throw you off track. Some knowledgeable folks are happy to provide guidance if you need it. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Although you earned plaudits from most co-workers for your recent stand on a workplace situation, you also raised the envy quotient among others. Tread carefully for now. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You feel more positive about that delayed project, and you’re ready to pick it up on a moment’s notice. However, you might need to re-motivate those who have since lost interest. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Some welcome news should be coming your way. in the meantime, use that Sagittarius charm to persuade some stillreluctant colleagues that your ideas have merit. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Don’t wait for a misunderstanding to work itself out. instead, ask for a chance to explain the circumstances before those bruised feelings lead to an irreversible break. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A physical problem should be checked out in order to avoid it going from just being a nuisance to something more serious. Your social life takes an unexpected but not unwelcome turn. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Yours might be the wisest sign in the Zodiac. But you still could benefit from the wisdom of a close friend who has suggestions on how to handle a perplexing personal problem.

Joiner full of focus

Rangeview senior ready to achieve new heights in tennis By Brent New
Freshman Melanie Baten “returned everything for awhile”, said Rangeview senior Zandreya Joiner.
At this time last season, a game of tennis was just more of the same backand-forth frustrations for Rangeview’s No. 1 singles player Zandreya Joiner. This season, however, the senior is keeping her cool and the wins are following. Joiner — who finished 3-10 last season in No. 1s — provided her team with the edge on Tuesday afternoon as she grabbed the lone win in singles play for the Raiders (3-2), who ousted hosting Thornton (1-3) 4-3. Joiner (4-1) took the first three games in both sets and held off a two furious charges from Trojans freshman Melanie Baten (2-2) to seal the win (7-5, 6-3). The senior just had to remember to take a deep breath. Despite giving up what seemed like stranglehold leads over the course of a match, a match that lasted nearly two hours, Joiner brushed off her mistakes and kept her emotions in check. “Last year I’d get really frustrated every time the ball didn’t go my way, or every time I missed a shot. It always threw me off the rest of the match,” said Joiner, who was in her first season at No. 1 last year. “I feel like I’ve grown so much since then, and I just trust that I can bounce back out there.” Baten didn’t make it easy though. The agile freshman gained ground on Joiner’s service game, and closed the gap to 5-5 in the first set and 3-3 in the second. Her lack of high school experience, however, proved to be the kink in her armor by the end, said Thornton coach Lissa Bartle. “She played great, but just didn’t make enough shots at the end,” the first-year coach said. “I think she went up against someone a little more experienced.” Joiner, daughter of Rangeview coach Steve Joiner, said she hopes her final stint in high school tennis will continue to be a success. Thinking back to the last three years of her high school tennis career, a career masked with three losses in the first round of regionals, the brimming senior finally let loose of her emotions on Tuesday. “I want to make state,” she said with a smile. “I know I can do it.”

LAKEWOOD - Pomona’s boys escaped the 5A Jeffco Track & Field League Meet with a one point victory Wednesday at Jeffco Stadium. The Panthers posted a team score of 125, which was one point better than Chatfield who finished second with 124 points. Arvada West finished third with 91 points, two points better than Lakewood’s fourth place finish with 89 points. Bear Creek (74), Standley Lake (69), Columbine (62), Ralston Valley (34) and Dakota Ridge (22) rounded out the finished of the nine 5A Jeffco schools who participated in the meet. But it was Pomona who was best-inshow winning four of the 18 boy’s events including the 4x100 meter relay and the 4x200 meter relay.

No doubt it was time to bounce back for Westminster’s baseball team. Westminster was able to come through with 7-4 victory March 26 against nonleague opponent Denver East, thus ending a two-game losing streak for the Wolves of coach Kelly Kizer. It also was a game which had been scheduled earlier, but postponed due to poor weather. Westminster came through to score what would be the winning run in the fifth inning, breaking the game’s 4-4 tie that had developed back in the third inning. Razzo Vigil, who had scored Westminster’s second run in the second inning off an RBI hit from Garrett Smith, singled to open the bottom of the fifth for the Wolves. Angelo Armijo struck out in the Wolves next at bat, setting the stage for the gamewinning hit off the bat of Bernardo Lorenzo, who tripled to drive in Vigil. However, Westminster could not up the count in the inning. Following a walk to Garrett Smith, Jason Kaczor and John Rule were both struck out by East pitcher Brad Chesney, stranding Lorenzo at third. “We started slow, but we were able to come back on a strong note,” said Vigil, Westminster’s catcher, who had four hits in the game. “We just got out and played the way we should and we didn’t let our mistakes take over. We came out and hit when we needed to.” Westminster would go on to score a pair of insurance runs in the sixth inning. Right fielder, Donnie Olguin singled, stole second and advanced to third on a bunt by Jamie Rodriquez. Brandon Dickerson then drove in Olguin and Vigil would drive in
Dickerson. “We got going, slower than we had hoped,” said Olguin, who scored Westminster’s first run back in the first inning and had two stolen bases for the Wolves. “But we just have to stay focused. It was a good victory and I felt strong all the way. We just don’t want to give up and I think we’re certainly improving.” Kody Riebschlager pitched a complete game to garner the win for Westminster, his second of the young season. The Wolves improved to 2-3 with the victory while Denver East dropped to 3-4. “We lost our last two games and this was a good way for us to bounce back,” said Riebschlager, who gave up seven hits, walked one batter and struck out one. “We just want to stay focused, learn from our mistakes, and keep going. We’re feeling pretty good right now. It was a windy day, but a strong win for us.” And it was a game in which Westminster coach Kizer was more than pleased. “Kody had a grand game for us,” Kizer said. “He was able to keep the ball in play against his batters and kept the ball down. He kept bringing on the heat. Overall, we came away with all the kids being on the beam.” “We hurt ourselves in a couple of the innings, but not in the end,” Kizer said. “Barnardo and Razzo were solid. But I’m high on all the kids and we have a great bunch. I’m very happy with the win and we needed the victory. We had lost three games and this is a good bounce back.” East jumped out quick to a 1-0 lead Team continues on Page 26

In support of passage of Berkeley Water and Sanitation District’s mill levy increase. Many of the District’s water distribution mains were installed fifty years ago and are reaching the end of their useful life. The District needs to implement a long term replacement/upgrade plan, and more aggressively address water quality and pressure issues as well as expansion of the water system. In addition, there are 40 miles of both water and sanitation main lines, manholes and fire hydrants that are in need of replacement and because some of the older sewer lines contain asbestos cement, the EPA will require the District to replace them at some point. Part of the water line strategy is to loop five main lines in the north and four minor lines in the south sides in the District in order to maintain pressure and quality throughout the District. The loops that are being installed this year will bring down money reserves tremendously. Because Berkeley is a read and bill, no revenue is received from Denver Water to maintain the water mains. Although our rates and mill levies are among the lowest in the Denver metro area, Metro Wastewater has increased their infrastructure to handle future capacity and has passed the cost on to local sewer districts. The second part of the ballot measure “de-Bruces” the tax revenue. (Enables the District to keep all tax revenue it is entitled to, all the time) This is important because when there is an economic downturn, the same mill levy brings in less revenue. TABOR doesn’t allow the District to return to “pre-downturn” revenue collection amounts if the District voters have not approved retaining all tax revenue collected. Passage of this mill levy increase gives the District’s Board of Directors, who are elected taxpaying residents of the District, the discretion and flexibility to address water distribution system maintenance, repair, replacement and upgrades in a planned and efficient manner to keep costs to all property owners in the District as low as possible. Summary of Written Comments Against the Proposal: No comments were filed by the constitutional deadline.
