Not the typical 5K New race to guarantee dirty competition By Ashley Reimers

Former schoolhouse to house museum By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ coloradocommunitymedia.com What was once the Pleasant DeSpain Sr. Schoolhouse at 7200 Lowell Blvd., has now been transformed into the Westminster History Center. And after weeks of planning, organizing and gathering historical documents, the center is opening to the public. The community is invited to a grand opening event, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 26, to explore the city’s historical past through tours of the center, oral storytelling and the first of many exhibits to come called Going to School in Westminster. “We hope people come see the newest addition to the city,” said Amy Newman, History continues on Page 15

Growing in popularity, obstacle mud runs offer participants the opportunity to challenge themselves physically and mentally. Now, residents in Westminster and surrounding areas will have the same chance to get down and dirty during the inaugural Hard as Nails Obstacle Mud Race on May 10. The 5K race will start out at the Westin Westminster Hotel and will challenge participants to run, jump, crawl and pull themselves through a series of obstacles testing the endurance, strength and tenacity of people young and old. The mud race is sponsored by Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides, the city of Westminster and the Westin Westminster Hotel. Joshua Baruch, founder of Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides, said organizing the race was somewhat of an evolution over a year-and-a-half period. He had the idea to bring the type of adventures, like team building and physical challenges, he does in his guides business to a public capacity. He partnered up with the Westin and the city and from there the Hard as Nails Obstacle Mud Race was born. “The city of Westminster has done a tremendous job of acquiring land and open space, so this event will showcase the great amenities of the city,” he said. “The real goal is to make this a regional draw for people all over the state and even the country.” For people who’ve never done an obstacle mud race before, Baruch said they can expect to be physically challenged, but also experience camaraderie among other participants in the race because some of the obstacles require help from others. And if one obstacle seems too difficult, Baruch said people have the choice to skip obstacles if desired. But everyone involved will be part of supporting Westminster nonprofit Growing Home, which provides homeless prevention services, parenting and children’s programming, a food pantry and other 5k continues on Page 15
Residents work to change poultry, bee law By Ashley Reimers areimers@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Westminster resident Rachel Vezina is on a mission to change a city ordinance to allow for backyard chickens, ducks and bees. The horticulture student recently acquired 300 petition signatures in support of allowing Westminster residents to raise these animals and maintain honeybee
hives in residential zones. She then took her signatures to the April 14 city council meeting to plead her case on the importance of urban agriculture and sustainability. “With Westminster focusing on sustainability, recycling and being green, I think that we could also add urban agriculture as one of those focuses,” she said. “I know there are numerous citizens who believe they have the right to have poultry produce

of their own.” Currently the ordinance does not allow livestock in residential zones, which includes chickens, ducks and bees. And although it’s illegal, Vezina and her boyfriend Clinton Gale have raised both animals in their 2-acre backyard in the past. Vezina said because of the law, she and Gale have been fined for having the animals, but she’s never had any complaints from neighbors about the animals. “No one has even come to our house and complained about the chicken or the ducks,” she said. “We’re trying to live a sustainable life and with the huge popularity of urban agriculture, I don’t see why having these animals should be illegal.” Others in the community agree. Shirley Perrault spoke in support of the ordinance change during the council meeting and said she believes having chickens in the back yard is a good thing because they provide nutritional eggs and help clean yards by eating insects. Robert Newton, a bee keeper, is also in support of the change. He’s hoping to bring back his bee hive.
“I had two hives for a year-and-a-half and when I pulled them out, my neighbors were outraged because they loved them so much,” he told the city council. “There is a quite a benefit to raising bees and hopefully we can do something.” At this point, city council will have to discuss a possible change in the ordinance before any action is taken. Councilman Bob Briggs said the issue will first need to be addressed during a study session to decide the next steps, followed by discussion during a city council meeting, which will also allow for public comment for and against the issue. Briggs is in support of the change to allow for chickens, ducks and bees in residential areas. He said Westminster’s historical background is agriculture. “I support giving people a choice. We make no restrictions on cats and dogs, so I don’t think we ought to make restrictions on chickens, bees and ducks,” he said. “Not everyone is going to want those animals, but those who do deserve the choice.”

Long session makes for short fuses The most uttered words during any legislative session could be “bill” and “vote.” But, lately, one could make the case for other four-letter words that have bounced around the Capitol — ones that would make Quentin Tarantino blush. The session is winding down, but some lawmakers seem to be wound awfully tight. Over the last couple of weeks, tempers have flared and emotions have gotten the better of our grown men and women who create our laws. Here are a few recent examples: Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, hurled an expletive toward fellow Republican Rep. Kevin Priola of Henderson on the House floor over his role in a vote on an education bill. That confrontation preceded a vote by Republicans to oust Priola as party whip, a position from which he would resign days later. Rep. Mark Waller, a Colorado Springs Republican who is running for attorney general, barked the same expletive toward Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, after Pabon made a joke on the House floor about Waller’s delegate vote count at the recent GOP state assembly — Waller barely earned a spot on the Republican primary ballot that day. And it’s not just “Men Behaving Badly.” Reps. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, and Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen, have been at each other’s throats as well. Clearly, something’s in the water at the Capitol these days.

quid pro quo,” Gerou said angrily. “And if you are imputing my nature, my ethics, madam chair, I object!” Later that day, Duran said Gerou “hasn’t acted like a state representative” this legislative session and said her conduct has been unprofessional all year. Not to be outdone, Gerou said Duran is “young enough to be my daughter” and that she doesn’t quite understand the rules involved with chairing a committee. Mr. Speaker, what’s up with your members getting all Rowdy Roddy Piper on one another? “I think during the end of session, nerves and tempers get short,” Ferrandino said. “There’s no secret that there’s no love lost between Rep. Duran and Rep. Gerou.” I suggested to Ferrandino that it would be quite entertaining to see the creation of a reality TV show called “Crisanta and Cheri” — two women who can’t stand each other, forced to live together in a city apartment, or a deserted island. The speaker said he would “neither confirm or deny that has been kicked around” as a possible skit that is part of the legislature’s end-of-the-year “Hummers” event, where lawmakers roast one another. Look, far be it from me to criticize bad behavior — after all, my cross streets are Sodom Avenue and Gomorrah Boulevard. Believe it or not, politicians are humans who sometimes say or do things they regret. It’ll be interesting to see if things settle down the rest of the session — although, I won’t be holding my breath. Gotta run, now. “Crisanta and Cheri” is on TV.

Totes of Hope program helps fill the hunger gap By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ coloradocommunitymedia.com For some students in the Adams 12 Five Star School District, having food to eat on the weekend can be tough to come by. Dealing with food insecurity is an issue these students handle on a regular basis. To help ensure basic needs are met, Adams 12 recently kicked off the Totes of Hope program, fully funded by the Food Bank of the Rockies. The program will ensure over 1,000 homeless and low-income students in nine different schools will receive a bag filled with nutritious food every Friday to last over the weekend. “We were on the waiting list for a while before being picked up by the program,” said Jill Collins, school wellness coordinator. “So it’s just amazing to have the program in the district and know that so many kinds will be getting the food they need.” With the program at no cost to the district, Collins said the opportunity to have the program is even most essential because the district has no funding for these types of food programs. She said the program will run for the long term, which is absolutely crucial for many students in the district. “During the school week, we know students who qualify for free and reduced meals are getting at least breakfast and lunch each day,” Collins said. “But what about the weekends? We know there are kids out there not getting enough food over the weekend so through this program we are addressing that problem.”
Lourdes Walker, a community outreach liaison at Rocky Mountain Elementary in Westminster, has seen firsthand what some families are eating at home. She said during a stop at a family’s home she saw a bowel of chicken broth on the table for that evening’s dinner, and that was it. She said this program is going to make a major difference in the lives of students from her school, especially for students with undocumented parents. “For the parents who aren’t documented, they can’t receive federal help, like food stamps,” she said. “But they still have children who need food and need help. With this program it doesn’t matter if the child has an undocumented parent, the food will still go to help the child.” Walker was one of around 30 people who volunteered their time to assemble food bags on April 16 for the first distribution on April 18. She brought along three mothers whose children are receiving food from the program. Walker said the women are very grateful for the help and just want to do what they can in return. The nine schools in the program include: Coronado Hills Elementary, Federal Heights Elementary, Malley Drive Elementary, McElwain Elementary, Rocky Mountain Elementary, STEM Launch, Stuckey Elementary, Thornton Elementary and Thornton High School. Three more will be added to the program next year, North Star Elementary Hillcrest Elementary and the Early Childhood Education Center. For more information on the Totes of Hope program, visit www.foodbankrockies.org.

Book program promotes healthy choices By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Third-grade students in three Adams 12 schools are part of a new program dedicated to promoting the prevention of drug, tobacco and alcohol use and abuse. Similar to the DARE program, the Homer and Me book program is an effort among the Northglenn Police Department, Adams County Youth Initiative and Tyke Publishing of Colorado that provides students with personalized books and workshops with local police officers teaching students to make wise choices regarding their health. The pilot program is being implemented into Malley Drive, Stuckey and Westview Elementary Schools this spring and is no cost to the district. The book is called “Homer and Me. A Day at the Baseball Park” and focuses on hitting a homerun against drugs. “Each child receives a book with his or her name in it, which makes them part of the story,” said Kelly Kinch with Tyke Publishing. “The teachers read the story to the students before the workshops so they have an idea what to expect. This book program really is just a way to promote positive choices regarding healthy eating exercise, alcohol, tobacco and drugs use prevention.” Malley Drive was the first school to host a workshop. On April 14, Northglenn police officers spoke to students about the dangers of tobacco, marijuana, alcohol and prescription drug use. During the workshop, Homer, the star of the book, made an appearance and students also had the

Northglenn police Chief Jim May was one of the leadings supporters of the program. He said since the DARE program was pulled from the schools, there’s been an
increase in drugs and alcohol use among teenagers. He’s hoping this program will make a positive impact on students at a young age. “This program is a great opportunity for the police department to get back into elementary schools and teach kids the dan-
County creates new position for development Sullivan named as economic development manager By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com Adams County has created a new position to focus on four areas of development. Kristin Sullivan is the new economic development manager for Adams County and began April 14. Deputy County Manager Ray Gonzales said that the board of county commissioners and the county manager wanted to establish the new position to focus on: helping land owners, developers and their consultants understand the development review process; developing and implementing a strategy to attract development and tenants at Front Range Airport; retain and attract small business in unincorporated Adams County; and support neighborhood revitalization such as Goat Hill and Welby. “Kristin is an insightful leader with a track record of accomplishment and
success. I am thrilled to have her serve in this new role,” Gonzales said. Sullivan has been with the county since 2010 and served as the planning manager for the Planning and Development Department. Before working with the county, Sullivan was the economic development coordinator for the city of Northglenn. “What’s great about Adams County is we have amazing opportunities here,” she said. “The opportunities are really endless Sullivan in Adams County.” Sullivan said the county has plenty of land for growth, plenty of infill areas and plus with the FasTracks line, there are transit-oriented development opportunities. “We want to make sure we make it easy for great progress to happen,” she said. She said one of her goals is to create a framework and corridor plan for Federal Boulevard between 52nd and 72nd avenues. This segment of Federal will be anchored by FasTracks stations at West 60th Avenue and Federal and 71st Avenue and Irving Street.
gers of drugs and alcohol,” he said. “We’re very thankful the district is working with us and allowing us to get back into the classrooms.” Students at Westview will have their workshop on April 28 followed by a workshop at Stuckey Elementary on April 30.
Plains Conservation Center
She said that the county wants to improve the overall physical appearance and safety for pedestrians and bicyclists so that they want to walk and bike between destinations. Another goal she said is to finish work on the Neighborhood Plan for Welby. The purpose of the subarea plan is to complete a detailed analysis of the area, which includes an inventory of the agriculture, residential, commercial and industrial uses; infrastructure, such as roads, sidewalks, water, sewer; and to identify development trends. The plan will also demonstrate which land uses should be allowed in certain areas. Sullivan said she would also like to explore industrial hemp opportunities. Amendment 64 not only allowed recreational marijuana use, but also the cultivation, processing and sale of hemp in Colorado. This could be an economic opportunity to the farmers in Adams County. With the economy recovering and the FasTracks lines being built sooner than expected, Sullivan said people are realizing the opportunities in Adams County. “It’s really our time,” she said.

By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Although the session is coming to a close in the next couple weeks, work for Rep. Dominick Moreno hasn’t slowed. The District 32 representative continues to be focused on the needs of his constituents in parts of Commerce City and southwest unincorporated Adams County. One bill already signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper is Senate Bill 14-019. This bill now clarifies state tax code to allow married same-sex couples to file joint state tax returns, just as they file their federal taxes. “This is about tax fairness and the bill treats married same-sex couples like all other married couples in Colorado,” Moreno said. A second bill Moreno is sponsoring is House Bill 14-1156, the Eligibility School Lunch Protection Program, which just made it through House appropriations. This bill would extend the annual appropriation of funds to provide lunches at no charge to all students up to fifth grade who qualify for free and reduced meals. Under current law, the appropriation only extends to students up to second grade. Moreno originally wanted the extension to go up to 12th grade, but recently changed the bill which cut the fiscal note by twothirds. “Not all kids have access to lunch and we need to change that,” he said. “This bill is a way the state can do their share of helping students have lunch.” Compared to last year’s session, Moreno said this year isn’t quite as tense. With hot topics like marijuana legalization and gun control no longer at the forefront like last year’s session, Moreno said other issues can be dealt with that have been long

Rep. Dominick Moreno overdue, like education. “There is a heavy emphasis on education funding,” he said. “The state is putting more than $100 million in K-12 education and also putting funding towards higher education.” Although Moreno spends most of his time at the capitol, he continues to keep in mind the needs of his constituents. He hosts monthly town halls to connect and hear from the people he represents. It’s also not uncommon for Moreno to be pulled at side at the grocery store by people interested in his work. “It’s nice people feel comfortable enough to reach out to me one-on-one,” he said. “It’s great to be able to have that experience in terms of being able to run into people on a daily basis and hear direct feedback.”

opinions / yours and ours
Clarity provided on political activity During last fall’s Westminster Mayoral and City Council campaign “season,” one of the hot button issues beyond the redevelopment of the Westminster Mall site was constraints on political activity of city employees. The issue had gotten its “legs” from approved state legislation earlier in 2013 whereby employees in fire departments and fire districts throughout Colorado could actively engage in local political campaigns. Westminster candidates heard the concern about restraints, reprisals etc. both from citizens and from some police and fire personnel. Some candidates promised to address the issue if elected.
A promise kept
To the credit of those elected officials who said they would address this issue, the Westminster City Council approved changes regarding city employee political activity at its April 14th Council meeting. Was it a wholesale re-write of the existing constraints? The answer would be “far from it.” Did the new law exceed the parameters set forth in the City Charter? No, the changes have to be within the intent of the City Charter. Did the aggrieved
police and fire employees get everything they wanted from this “new” City Council? Again, the answer is “far from it.”

in urban renewal projects. While I believe TIF financing is a much needed tool to RE-DEVELOP existing blighted sites/ buildings, it can and has been abused in the past by some cities.
A good start
Equitable formula needed
Now, city employees will have a better set of “guides” regarding their activity in council, mayoral and city ballot propositions campaigns. Regarding this outcome, I say “thank you” City Council for pushing the issue with the City Administration.
Hot potato
Clarification is key
However, as I see it, the new ordinance provided much needed clarification. For example, it was always unclear from the 1990 ordinance language whether or not the spouse of a Westminster City employee came under the tightly drawn prohibitions of political activity. The new ordinance makes it clear that the city government is not attempting to “limiting the political activity of a spouse or any family member of an employee.” Previously, employees were called on the carpet when the spouse had put out a political
It comes up in one form or another regularly at the state Legislature. It is a fundamental issue over sharing tax revenues in municipal urban renewal districts between the cities/towns and the county government. It has come up this year with a Bill sponsored by Senator Lois Tochtrop. Municipal officials call it “unfair” while County officials consider it “equitable.” Regardless of the label , the issue needs to be resolved. It has been around as long as I was in city government and still is unresolved today. It has escalated as cities have used tax increment financing (TIF) more
The present House Bill 1375 would mandate a sharing of increased property tax revenues between the municipality’s urban renewal authority and the taxing entities. Plus, it would mandate that at least one representative appointed by the county commissioners would sit on the local urban renewal authority. What’s missing in the proposed legislation is all the risk i.e., 25-year bond payments, falls on the municipality/urban renewal authority and the county “gets something for nothing.” There needs to be an equitable formula involving all involved governments. School districts are not involved here as they are made “whole” by the state government on what otherwise would be a lost opportunity to share in the increased tax revenues from the new development. Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.
question of the week
Is Denver still a Broncos’ town? The Avalanche is on fire! The Rockies have had a very strong start to their new season. And the Nuggets had just previously gone to the playoffs for 10 straight years. So we wanted to ask some of our loyal readers: Despite what our other professional teams accomplish is this still just a Broncos’ town?
“I am from California so I had a little different perspective. But now that I am a Denverite it is just nuts how these people love their Broncos.” William Russell, Denver
“I love all of our teams but I feel like the Nuggets and Rockies have some catching up to do. But the Avs have won it all twice!” Connie Yamaguchi, Highlands Ranch
“I am a big Rockies’ fan, obviously, but even I know that this is and will always be Broncos Country.” Joel Miller, Denver
“It isn’t really fair because the other teams have had success too, but people in this state love the Broncos at just another level.” Brian Stroth, Arvada

Come one, come all There are two big events taking place in our community this weekend. And it all has to do with history. Westminster Historical Society is unveiling its new facility located in the DeSpain School building at 72nd Avenue and Lowell Boulevard. The group is inviting the public to attend Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Light refreshments will be served, hot dogs and face painting for the children and tours for the family. Please come and see how history has unfolded in your community.
A little bit of past history This wonderful new facility is the brainchild of Marilyn Flachman, a librarian for 47 years in our community. She knew we must begin to deal with our past and prepare for the future. Marilyn, with the cooperation and backing of the Westminster Historical Society began the laborious process of leasing the DeSpain building from District 50 and getting the historical collection housed there. When you are touring the building think about the items you have which should be preserved and talk with curator Amy Newman.
Also speaking of the past In 1984-1985 the area known as Harris Park formed the Westminster Progressive Homeowner’s Association and they are a vital organization. Many good improvements have been made through the years. They meet at the Grange, 3935 W. 73rd Ave.
Once such improvement was the planting of more crabapple trees along Bradburn Blvd. Now the trees are blooming and the members want you to come and celebrate. It’s all free including a light breakfast buffet. The event will begin Saturday morning, 10 a.m. until Noon. Then directly after this event the members encourage you to stroll down 73rd Ave. to the grand opening of the new History Center in the DeSpain school house. Please dear readers come out and support the hard-working efforts of the two organization members. And stop and visit with your neighbors and community leaders and let them know you care.

Life has challenges; words have power Reading is one of the things I enjoy so very much in life. And as an avid reader, I have accumulated a vast and diverse book collection. Some are worn around the edges, some are dog-eared, sticky notes protrude from the tops of several, and many are filled with highlights and underscored words with my notes written in the margin. In my line of business, I find myself going back to some of my favorites for ideas and reminders on how to improve in some way or handle a situation. So the other day I was dealing with a very challenging family issue and it was happening right at the one-year anniversary of the loss of my wife and my kids’ mom. I took some time to sit in my library and meditate on what was happening around us and I was feeling sad, hurt and confused. And as I thought and prayed about the situation and events, I looked up and some of the titles of the books liter-
ally seemed to come to life right before my eyes. Specific books and words seemed to become bigger in font size and boldness. They were books such as Zig Ziglar’s “Embrace the Struggle,” or “The Journey” by Billy Graham. There were also titles such as “Be Great” by Peter Thomas and “Results” by Gary Neilson and Bruce A. Pasternack. There are hundreds of books in my library, and as I continued to scan the shelves and titles I saw “Gung Ho” by Ken Blanchard and Sheldon Bowles and
Wayne Dyer’s “The Power of Intention.” Although many other titles and books caught my attention, the final one I will include here is John Ortberg’s “God is Closer Than You Think.” Here I was, feeling extremely challenged and quite low, and one of the things that I enjoy most in life hit me right between the eyes: my books. Just think of the words alone and how powerful they are and how much encouragement they bring. “Embrace the Struggle,” “The Journey,” “Be Great,” “Results,” “Gung Ho,” “The Power of Intention,” and “God is Closer Than You Think.” Immediately my spirits were lifted and my attitude elevated. I am in a struggle, it will be a journey, as the leader of my family I have to be great in order to get the results we will need, this will require a gung-ho attitude, it will be an intentional effort, and God has always been and will be right by my side. For
me, words are powerful, the actions they inspire are incredible, and the adjustment in attitude is simply amazing. Most days I read for pleasure, to grow, and to learn. I find personal development materials such as books or audio programs to be an absolute asset to my success. And when needed personally or professionally, these powerful words are packed with wisdom. How about you, do you have a library or source of knowledge and encouragement? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And as we benefit from the power of words, this really will be a better than good week.
after person came to the mic to share their memories. The pastor said he seldom sees crowds that large or tributes so heartfelt. Phoebe’s glowing smile was mentioned by every person who spoke. Her daughter, Karley, a student at Colorado Mesa University, shares that smile.
Phoebe had an impact that not even her family fully appreciated. And now, about the wedding. On April 11, Kevin, Stephanie, London and Logan decided to make it official. Kevin and Steph have been together for 10 years. London Jaye entered the picture fourand-a-half years ago and was followed by Logan Jack two years later. They live in Las Vegas and the wedding was held in the chapel at Treasure Island Hotel. Once Kev makes up his mind to do something things move with lightening speed. What takes most couples a year or more to plan, was accomplished in about two months. Truth be told, I had some trepidations about the outcome. My fears were groundless. Steph looked gorgeous
and Kev handsome. The wedding was lovely and the minister made the ceremony memorable, sacred, and personal. While my family may not be a biological part of Kevin (his mom, Tammy, was married before we came into the picture) we are related where it counts the most ... the heart. He came into our family while still a toddler. He calls my son “Dad” and means it. That love is returned. The reception was terrific. The Las Vegas theme was carried out to perfection, in the decorations and there were many personalized touches. The food was delicious and the DJ one of the best I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t be happier my grand/ great-grand people, and, for that matter our whole family.

Two recent lessons on accepting life on life’s terms In the past couple of weeks, our family has faced two of life’s most significant events ... a death and a wedding. My daughter-in-law Tammy’s sister, our precious Phoebe Lorenz, lost her battle with cancer after a courageous five-and-a half year battle. She never complained. She just kept fighting until the end. Words cannot express how dearly she’ll be missed. The void is palpable. Phoebe was born in Boulder in 1973. I cannot imagine her family’s pain. It’s just not supposed to happen that way. As is always the case with the Herring clan, the extended family rallied. Along with many friends, a celebration of Phoebe’s life was held in Longmont on April 7. The church was filled. The music was beautiful. Person
Teacher talks are not so cheap And, so it begins. After all of, like, 27 seconds of negotiations, the teachers’ union declared an impasse, and walked out of negotiations with the new Jefferson County School Board. At issue, for the union, was the board’s apparent intention to break with the promises of the previous board vis-à-vis teacher compensation. That is to say, after Jeffco teacher salaries have been frozen, or cut, for the last several years, the last board promised that part of the mill levy increase the voters approved in 2012 would be a salary increase for teachers. This board has stated its intention to not feel beholden to that promise. For its part, the Board, when it created its budget outline, did put in place $11.7 million, earmarked for teacher compensation. The particulars of how that money was to be spent were to be part of the negotiations, though there had already been some talk of programs tying pay raises to student testing data. I’m not entirely sure the union has the strongest leg to stand on, from a public relations standpoint. I’m having a difficult time picturing Mr. Average Joe, whose wages have also remained stagnant for the last several years, who has to pay more for health insurance than he did a few years ago, and who still doesn’t have many viable options in this sluggish employment economy, being terribly sympathetic to teachers who would walk away from the very early stages of negotiations with money actually on the table. On the other hand, this board did put out a community survey a couple months ago, asking what the community thought the right priorities should be. Teacher compensation was high on the list, and a resounding majority said that the district should not prioritize charter schools and option schools. Yet, one of the big-ticket items on the board’s initial budget outline was $3.7 million extra for charter schools. I suppose you can argue all you want that the survey answers were skewed, that a concerted effort by certain interest groups essentially rigged the results of the survey. But, ya’ know, you asked. Remember a few years back when conservatives packed Congressional town hall meetings to give feedback against Obamacare? So much so that most supporters of Obamacare ran
away from the idea of town halls like my daughter runs away from itsy-bitsy spiders? But then they shuffled back to Washington and passed it, anyway. Remember that? You just did the same thing. And it’s not like we’re talking about major reforms, either, the kind of things that the general public would really like to see us talk about. The money for charter schools is just to increase per-pupil spending to bring it closer to what the neighborhood schools spend. And the money for teachers is not to pilot innovative training or staffing models — it’s largely just to restore some of the salary lost by more experienced teachers. In other words, when the general public looks at public education and shakes it’s collective head, well, I can understand why. On one side of the table is a team that seems intent on ignoring the feedback they asked for from the public, and on the other side is a team that has coordinated and staged a high-profile game of brinksmanship. And in the middle of the table is well over half a billion dollars of the general public’s money. One interesting side note from all this: after an impasse is declared, the terms of the contract dictate that all further negotiations must happen through a mediator, and must happen behind closed doors. So, if one side or the other had a vested interest in the public NOT seeing the negotiation process, then they just got their way. I’ll leave it up to you to conclude for yourselves who benefits more from that kind of secrecy.

April 24, 2014
Reproductive rights effort fizzles By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com An effort to bolster a woman’s reproductive rights was introduced at the legislature with fanfare, but went out quietly. The bill — which would have prohibited the state from interfering with a woman’s reproductive health care decisions — was killed by Democratic leadership before it ever came up for a highly anticipated debate in the Senate on April 16. The reason behind the last Report minute decision by Democrats to kill the legislation depends on which lawmaker one speaks with. The bill sponsor, Sen. Andy Kerr, DLakewood, said the effort was pulled because Republicans had threatened to wreak havoc on the legislative process for the rest of the session, if the bill had gone forward. Kerr said that Republicans were planning to use filibusters and other delay tactics to interfere with key pieces of legislation that are still moving through the Capitol. “It became obvious that D.C.-style politics were going to be happening the last
Capitol
three weeks of the session here,” Kerr said. Republican leadership called that idea nonsense. “That’s ridiculous,” said Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs. “What they ran into was a firestorm of public dissent, period; a firestorm of public opposition to this political hatchet job.” Onlookers looking to follow the vote in the Senate gallery — most of whom were opposed to the legislation — didn’t get much of a show. Senate Majority Leader Rollie Heath of Boulder gave no explanation for spiking the bill when he moved to lay over the bill until the day after the session ends, which kills the legislation this year. The bill would have prohibited state or local governments from enacting “any policy regarding reproductive health care that is inconsistent with or contrary to current evidence-based scientific data and medical consensus … “ accompanying bill language states. The effort is a response to continued conservative efforts to restrict women’s reproductive rights, either through the legislature or the ballot box. The sudden demise of the bill capped a wild, 48-hour sequence of events. Catholics converged on the Capitol to protest the bill on April 15. That’s the day debate on the bill was supposed to be held
in the Senate. However, the vote was delayed a day because Sen. John Kefalas, DFort Collins, went home sick. Kefalas’ vote was needed for the vote to pass in a Senate that Democrats control by a single vote. The next day, speculation swirled that the bill could end up being killed. Colorado Community Media was the first to report that Democratic leaders had spent the day figuring out whether they were going to move forward with the bill. Kerr asserts that he had all 18 Democrats on board, but the reaction afterward from a couple of Democratic lawmakers puts that in question. Kefalas voted for the bill in committee. But he later acknowledged that he struggled over his vote — and he never confirmed that he was going to vote yes in the first place. After the vote was killed, Kefalas did not directly answer questions as to how he would have voted. “All I can say is I express a concern about this and I listened to constituents,” Kefalas said. Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, D-Arvada, was also conflicted. When asked how she was planning to vote, Zenzinger said, “I honestly don’t know.” Zenzinger is a Catholic, first-year lawmaker who will face a tough election bid this November. Asked if she was relieved
that she didn’t have to cast a vote, Zenzinger said, “Yeah, I think so; being a Catholic woman.” Senate President Morgan Carroll, DAurora, did not speak with reporters on the Senate floor on April 16. Carroll instead sent an emailed statement, in which she was critical of Republican positions on women’s productive rights issues. At the same time, Carroll, like Kerr, said she didn’t want other important pieces of legislation being affected as a result of GOP outrage. “We have made our point, and in the interest of getting the remaining work done on education, jobs, higher education affordability and childcare, we laid the bill over,” Carroll said. But Cadman — who denied any effort on the part of Republicans to disrupt the legislative process — said Democrats have only themselves to blame for the bill’s failure. Cadman also referenced last year’s democratic legislative achievements on hot button issues, many of which angered Republicans. “They got called on it and, unfortunately, they put their caucus and this entire institution through a significant turmoil over the last few days and dragged a lot of people out of their homes to come express their voices,” Cadman said. “The good news is this time, unlike last year, they listened.

Bill also would bar use of photo radar By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia. com Red light cameras could be a thing of the past, under a bill that is making its way through the Legislature. The bipartisan legislation would prohibit the use of red light cameras and photo radars anywhere in the state. Communities sometimes use the technology to slow down speeding drivers and to increase revenues. The bill received initial approval in the Senate on April 17 and is expected to pass the chamber before the legislation moves to the House. Rep. Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley, a bill sponsor, contends that the use of red light cameras and other driving detection technology is a “cash grab” on the part of communities, and that their presence can have an adverse impact on public safety. Renfroe and other supporters argue that drivers sometimes slam on the brakes after noticing the equip-

pecially vital in areas where “human management is impossible.” “This is about safety,” Ulibarri said. “This is about life and death. This is about real folks who may be injured.” Amendments by Ulibarri and other bill opponents to either weaken or postpone the legislation failed to garner enough support to pass. Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, said red light camera technology that has been placed at busy city intersections has impacted public safety in a positive way. Steadman also took issue with supporters of the bill who may not live in areas that have to deal with high-traffic concerns. “You represent districts and towns that don’t even have stoplights,” Steadman quipped. Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, also opposed the legislation. She said that communities in her district want to see more driver detection technology, not less. “I have, in my district, communities that have requested me to vote no on this, who are begging me to vote no on this because of the safety factor,” Newell said.

ment, which can lead to the very accidents communities are trying to prevent. And bill supporters also said that a single picture of a vehicle crossing an intersection often doesn’t take into consideration other road factors that impact the way people drive. “A camera can take a picture, but it doesn’t tell the story,” Renfroe said. Supporters pointed to a number of areas of concern over the technology. Sen. Lucia Guzman, D-Denver, a bill co-sponsor, said there isn’t any evidence that indicates that the devices have “a tangible effect on public safety.” Sen. David Balmer, R-Centennial, said the flashes that emit from the cameras can trigger epileptic seizures. Balmer also said the devices interfere with a driver’s right to confront his or her accuser in court. But the bill had its share of opponents who said communities would suffer if the bill becomes law. Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, said the use of red light cameras at a problematic intersection in his hometown has saved lives. He also said the use of the technology is es-

NYT brings back fan favorite ‘Narnia’ showing at D.L. Parsons Theatre By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Thornton senior student Samantha Cage is a meanie to her friends. Well, the 18-year-old has to be when she’s performing as the White Witch in the Northglenn Youth Theatre’s production of “Narnia.” “This role is challenging to me in a lot of ways,” said Cage, who lives in Thornton. “As the main antagonist, I have to perform as a truly evil character throughout the show. Another challenge may be putting my personal relationships with my friends aside while performing. I have to be quite mean to most of them.” NYT’s “Narnia” is a musical adaptation based on C.S. Lewis’ book, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” and runs from April 25 through May 4 at the D.L. Parsons Theatre, 11801 Community Center Drive. This is the second time NYT has done the show. NYT, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, last did “Narnia” in November 2005. “It was one of our most popular shows,” said Kimberly Jongejan, NYT’s director. “Everyone loved the show from the cast perspective to the audience perspective. Everyone has been asking about it so we felt like it was a good time to bring it back.” She said the musical is very close to the story “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” which is one of seven books in The Chronicles of Narnia. The story is about Narnia, a land of mythical creatures where the White Witch has ruled for 100 years and is visited by human children. “It’s still a popular story,” Jongejan said. “Other fantasy-inspired storytelling seems to be hot right now so it fits right in. Everyone loves an epic tale — good versus evil, set in a mysterious land, with fantas-

Courtesy photo by Olga Lopez tical creatures and children characters.” Fifteen-year-old Brendan Lynch plays the role of Edmund, one of the human children who visit Narnia. Lynch, who has done productions with NYT since he was 8, said that Edmund has been one of the most fun and challenging parts he has played. “Edmund covers such a variety of emotions and characteristics as he is both strong and weak, he is defiant of fitting in, but easily conforms when the witch demands it,” said the Northglenn teen. “He
also has an amazing transformation where he goes from being average and selfish in to a man with pride and passion.” The show runs about two hours with an intermission and has a cast of 36. Jongegan said the challenge she has had is getting the young actors to stop laughing and smiling and into character, since some of them are playing evil creatures. “They’re having so much fun,” she said. Another challenge she said is to get them to imagine the mythical land with-
out the stage props available for rehearsals. “The environment is all up in their heads,” she said. Cage has been with the NYT for seven years and this will be her final production. She said she had to be part of the show for a final opportunity to work with the staff and other actors. “Also, who can give up the wonderful opportunity to be in `Narnia’?” she said. Tickets are $8 for adults, $7 for youth and seniors and can be purchased by calling 303-450-8800.

‘Great Gatsby’ takes audiences to the gilded age By Clarke Reader
creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” may be one of the most ubiquitous American novels, but that’s only because so much of the desires of Americans and human nature is packed into one novel. The Arvada Center is offering a chance for audiences to dive back into the age of jazz in New York City with its regional premiere of Simon Levy’s 2006 adaptation of the novel. “The Great Gatsby” will be playing at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., April 29 through May 25. Performances are Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday at 1 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Due to popular demand three 1 p.m. matinees have been added on Thursdays, May 1, 8 and 15. “We had a conversation about the book, and wanted to make sure we were following the script while balancing some of the iconic moments from the novel,” director Gavin Mayer said. “That’s always the challenge of adaptation, especially with a story so many people love.” The story is told through the eyes of Nick Carraway (Graham Ward), an implant to New York City who gets a job as a bond salesman and lives in the village of West Egg, across the bay from his cousin Daisy Buchanan (Jamie Ann Romero), who lives with her old-monied husband Tom Buchanan (C. Clayton Blackwell). Nick lives next door to an enormous mansion owned by a mysterious Mr. Gatsby (Anthony Bianco), who throws enormous and lavish parties on regular basis, but is seemingly unknown by all his guests. When Nick receives the only to one of Gatsby’s parties, his life — as well as that of Tom and Daisy — changes forever. “Nick is the observer, and we get to know Gatsby through his eyes,” Ward said. “In a way, Nick is also Fitzgerald and so it’s important that you stay true to
the tone of the novel.” Daisy is one of WHAT: “The Great Gatsby” the most famously WHERE: Arvada Center mercurial women 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada in American ficWHEN: April 29 through May 25 tion, and Romero Tuesday - Saturday - 7:30 p.m. said those changWednesday - 1 p.m. ing emotions can Saturday-Sunday - 2 p.m. be difficult to Due to popular demand three 1 p.m. track, even if they matinees have been added on Thurscome from an days, May 1, 8 and 15. understandable COST: $38-$53 place.

According to Ward, Romero and Bianco, the novel was always on hand, and provided the actors with acting tips and motivations. “Nick says a lot about Gatsby’s physicality, so we really took a lot of ideas from the book,” Bianco said. There have been debates since “The Great Gatsby” was published about Gatsby’s character — is he hopeful, delusional, or some mixture of both? All involved in the production have their own thoughts, but one thing that they all share is how impactful the story is. “History repeats itself, and that’s a theme you’ll see over and over in the story,” Mayer said. “It’s so relevant to our times, and shows just how it’s a timeless novel.” For more information, call 720-898-7200 or visit www.arvadacenter.org.

One of my favorite TV news characters, Kirk Montgomery, is leaving 9News. According to a Denver Post story, the entertainment reporter-anchor at KUSAChannel 9 since 2001, is out at 9News. He will move to at WILX, the NBC affiliate in Lansing, Mich., reportedly to become anchor of a new 4 p.m. newscast. Montgomery announced his exit on his Facebook page April 16 after joking on the 4:30 p.m. broadcast about growing up in Michigan (and spending time on a llama farm). He earlier wrote about not being offered a full one-year contract at Channel 9. On Twitter he said, “Mixed emotion I say goodbye to CO and @9NEWS on 5/9/14.” Good luck, Kirk!

Walnut Room update complete
The Walnut Room has completed an expansion and renovation of the kitchen at its River North location, 3131 Walnut St. The six-week project doubled the size of The Walnut Room’s original kitchen, providing much-needed space to accommodate upgraded equipment, including two new pizza ovens. “These changes will allow us to run our food operations more efficiently and provide better quality food to our patrons,” said John Burr, owner of The Walnut Room. The larger kitchen will make it easier for Chef Jonah Munson to eventually expand the restaurant’s menu, which features an array of pizzas, sandwiches and salads. Music fans may also notice that The Walnut Room’s concert hall also includes a new bar, since the last one was removed to make way for the new kitchen. The music venue still has capacity for 180
really optimistic about the group,” Wasden said. “Nobody’s said ‘no.’” Wasden is also the owner of PROformance Apparel in Littleton and vice chair of public affairs for the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. Dendinger is the CEO of shipping company CAP Logistics and publisher of ICOSA, an economic media company. Although both men are well versed in a business environment, Wasden and Dendinger said the roundtable is a collaborative effort that deviates from the corporate model. “It’s all about setting up connections and building relationships,” Dendinger said. Dendinger said he first attempted to found a Colorado-based business roundta-
ble in 2001, but between the 9/11 attacks in New York City and the fizzle of the dot-com boom, 54 percent of members went out of business and the collaborative died out. With the economy making a recovery and the CBRT building momentum, Dendinger said he hopes participants will adopt a new philosophy. “Instead of shrinking, market harder,” Dendinger said. The group has various goals in different arenas, from public policy to education and plans to work with other organizations like Colorado Concerns on immigration issues and the South Metro Chamber on hydraulic fracturing. The group held its first event in Lone Tree on April 16 in conjunction with other organizations to discuss a study by the University of Colorado Leeds
School of Business regarding the impact of a fracking ban on Colorado’s economy. Wasden said a big part of the mission is education. Dendinger said access to ICOSA will be big part of that. “Part of what we’re trying to accomplish is an organization of doers, who want to create the best and brightest in the state,” Wasden said. “We want to partner with other organizations for diversity and strength, to get that extra lens. Instead of working in a vacuum, the idea is to leverage and multiply, then educate.” The group operates under the larger umbrella Business Roundtable in Washington, D.C., which has roundtables in 25 other states in its network, Dendinger said. “It’s a sustainable model that endures, but also gets things done,” Dendinger said.

Pantaleone’s gets a lift
Pantaleone’s Italian Restaurant endured the harangues of British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay on an episode of the Fox Network reality series, “Kitchen Nightmares,” that aired April 11 Judging from the conclusion, the pizza and pasta place run by the Fafalios family — husband and wife, Pete and Paulette and their son, Josh — the results seem to have improved the place at 2120 S. Holly St. in south Denver. “Kitchen Nightmares” gave Pantaleone’s a fresh look with black-and-white painted walls and old family photos on the walls, replacing the nearly 30-year-old rave reviews of the place and a “scary” clown hologram. In the end, the restaurant was full of diners, including a couple of beauty queens and Denver City Councilman Charlie Brown. Ramsay didn’t convince Pete to open on Sundays, though they will open to private parties. But Pantaleone’s is finally offering delivery, when Ramsay gave them a van with the restaurant name on it. Pete seemed happy with the experience and gave his son more say in the business. “Chef Ramsay is a remarkable, remark-
‘Spamalot’ is welcome bit of silliness on stage Monty Python play is audience-pleaser By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com It takes place in medieval England and here — A.D. 932 and now. Many in the opening night audience knew almost every move in the Aurora Fox staging of “Monty Python’s Spamalot” — singing along on “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” and other songs by Eric Idle, the former Monty Python member who wrote the book and lyrics and collaborated on the music with John Du Prez. They also started to laugh before the first pronouncement from the stilt-walking Knight of Ni and were appropriately bedazzled by the wonderful Sarah Rex as Lady of the Lake. They were ready for killer rabbits and flying cows and the “bring out your dead” scene (“I’m Not Dead Yet”) — and impressed that the Black Knight bit was pulled off successfully. The wise-head French guard brought another round of laughter as skilled director/choreographer Piper Lindsay Arpan’s experience with the show brought it all together. (She performed in
it on Broadway and in the national touring show.) Throughout, the cast performed with tongue firmly in cheek in this charming spoof of the King Arthur legend — including the apparently clueless king, played by mellow-voiced Stephen Day. Costumes verged on cartoon versions of medieval garments and the set has castles walls and crowded streets, with assorted imaginative props. One needs to pay attention to detail for full enjoyment. I’m certain that with a few more performances under the belt, comic timing will be even better. The musical is based on the film, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” a clever and silly spin on the King Arthur legend — reinvented with the fast-paced humor of the weekly “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” television programs, beloved my millions. Nimble character and costume changes prevail: Daniel Langhoff is a goofy Sir Galahad (et al) and Michael Bouchard plays the timid Sir Robin (et al). Kurt Brighton is Sir Lancelot (et al); Jim Hindsley is Sir Belvedere (et al); Liam Speros is Prince Herbert (et al); and the nimble Bob Hoppe is King Arthur’s faithful servant Patsy, he who clacks the coconut shells as they canter along — and sometimes trot. Camelot it’s not — but it’s an entertaining evening for those who are somewhat familiar with the territory.

WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL ON THE RECORD Westminster City Council voted on the following legislation during the April 14 meeting. Council members in attendance were Mayor Herb Atchison, Mayor Pro Tem Faith Winter and councilors Bob Briggs, Alberto Garcia, Bruce Baker and Anita Seitz.
Bill approved for underpass project Council unanimously passed Councilor’s Bill No. 11 on first reading appropriating $585,000 to the 120th Avenue Underpass Project as an advance of the Adams County share of the project’s construction costs. The city has a desire to construct a pedestrian underpass of 120th Avenue immediately east of the existing Ranch Creek crossing of 120th Avenue, approximately 600 feet east of Federal Boulevard. This underpass would provide a grade-
separated connection to the Big Dry Creek Trail system for residents living south of 120th Avenue within the Ranch Subdivision.
Payment authorized to RTD Council unanimously authorized the payment of $1,179,322 to the Regional Transportation District, RTD, for the design of a city requested betterment of the Westminster Station platform. The city and RTD entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement, IGA, for the Northwest Rail Electrified Segment Westminster Station which allows the city to implement an alternative approach to RTD’s base plan for commuter and bus access, parking and pedestrian areas that will support the proposed Westminster Station commuter rail facility.
Contract approved for playground renovation
Council unanimously authorized the city manager to execute a contract with the low bidder, T2 Construction, Inc., in the amount of $207,569 for the Quails Crossing Playground Renovation Project with a 10 percent contingency of $27,756 for a total project cost of $228,325. The renovation project at Quails Crossing Park, at 13402 Kalamath St., will include new play equipment, accessible surfacing, a new sidewalk to the play areas that meets the current ADA guidelines, a small rock walk to hold the existing grade and provide additional seating areas around the playground and replace a small section of crusher fines trail to concrete to eliminate maintenance due to erosion.
Contract approved for boiler replacement
Council unanimously authorized the
city manager to execute a contract with RK Mechanical, Inc., in the amount of $474,440 for construction of the digester boiler replacements at the Big Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility, plus a contingency of $47,444, for a total authorized expenditure of $521,884. Approval also authorized an amendment to the Black & Veatch Corporation’s design contract for construction management services in the amount of $113,874 plus contingency of $11,387, for a total authorized expenditure of $125,261. The Big Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility uses two hot water boilers as part of its treatment processes The next council meeting is at 7 p.m. on April 28 at City Hall, 4800 W. 92nd Ave. in Westminster. — Compiled by Ashley Reimers

According to Newman, before the center, the Westminster Historical Society didn’t have a place to keep records that could be fully accessible to the public and be used in an educational way. Now the society has a visible building that also happens to be on the National Register of Historic Places. “We want this center to be utilized by not only residents, but also for teachers and schools in the area,” she said. “Students can come here and actually see and touch history.” Westminster councilman Bob Briggs is also excited about the opportunity for a for-

Although the center is filling up with historical records, Newman encourages people to bring in their old documents to add to the collection. She said the records will be stored in a room with controlled light, temperature and humidity for preservation. “Visitors will have access to PastPerfect software, which is how we manager our collection of archives,” Newman said. “There will be computer stations where people can look in the database and find any objects related to their search, whether it’s photos, maps or records.” The center will also have a large classroom to be used for community events and educational programs, a receptionist and reading and study areas.

Embarking on his fresh start includes his bid for Jeffco Sheriff. With his experiences, Almy is visibly business minded when looking through the sheriff’s 2013 payroll. “We have to find a way to compete but we also have to have a fiscal responsibility,” Almy said. “That’s just part of a big business like that.” While deputies and sheriff officials have said that low-paying salaries and a lack of raises are the reasons behind high turn-over, the 2013 payroll showed a diverse pay range for deputies ranging from $41,755.06 to $106,264. “The salary is a maze,” Almy said. While retention is an important priority, Almy is also focused on the overall finances and management of the sheriff’s office budget which includes a hard look at
various positions for over 800 full time employees, cutting back on office spending for special projects such as jail expansions to changing inmate accessibility to attorneys and bail bondsmen, Almy said. He wants to create community programs that bring officers together with citizens such as little league teams while finding security solutions for safer schools. In the end, it’s all about coming back to being a service oriented department. “Let’s get it back to protect and to serve,” Almy said. “It’s not all about it being a `law enforcement response,’ it has to be a `help the people’ response.” For more information about Brett Almy visit www.brettalmyforjcso2014.com.
Youth tanning legislation fails again Bill falls 4-3 in Senate Appropriations Committee after passing House By Vic Vela vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Once again, an effort to curb artificial tanning among youths has failed at the Legislature. House Bill 1054 died after it failed to garner enough support to make it out of a Senate committee last week. The bill would have prohibited persons under 18 from using artificial tanning devices, particularly tanning beds. It is the third year in a row that a youth tanning bed restriction bill has died at the Capitol. “I was disappointed because I believe this is a very important piece of legislation to protect young children,” said Sen. Lois Tochtrop, D-Thornton, a bill sponsor. Tochtrop and other bill supporters cited the potentially cancer-causing ultraviolet rays that emit from tanning beds as motivation behind the effort. They believed that it was in the state’s best interest to prevent youths from using artificial tanning devices, because it would result in fewer cases of life-threatening melanoma skin cancer. More than 30 states place some sort of
limitations on youth tanning. Had the bill become law, businesses would have faced stiff fines for allowing youths to use their tanning devices. The bill had previously passed the House and a Senate committee prior to its demise in the Senate Appropriations Committee. The bill failed on a vote of 4-3, with Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, joining committee Republicans in voting against the bill. The bill faced stiff odds even before it got to the Senate. It passed the Democrat-majority Senate by just two votes, with four Democrats voting against the effort. Many who opposed the bill said the effort was a government overreach that takes away the rights of parents to make their own decisions of what’s best for their children. The legislation was of particular importance to Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster, the House bill sponsor. Peniston had tried unsuccessfully in previous legislative sessions to get a youth tanning ban through the Capitol. Because she is term-limited, this was Peniston’s last effort to get the bill through. “I am deeply disappointed about what happened in the Senate and I hope that somebody is here next year to pick this up and make it a reality,” Peniston said.

Growing friendship in the garden “Mister Owita’s Guide to Gardening” by Carol Wall c.2014, Amy Einhorn Books $25.95 / $28.95 Canada 295 pages Every day, all spring and summer long, you try to go to bed. First is the flower bed, with waves of yellows, pinks, and reds. Then there’s a garden bed filled with the promise of lunch. Sheets of plants make the beds you love. Carol Wall hadn’t known the appeal of such a bed; in fact, she hated plants until she met someone who taught her not to. In “Mister Owita’s Guide to Gardening,” she spills the dirt on a friendship that changed everything. No doubt about it: the Wall’s yard needed TLC. Dick Wall hated mowing, so the grass was wild and overgrown. Trees needed pruning, holly scraped the windowpanes, and azalea bushes – which Carol Wall hated – stood in defiance on one side of the house. That’s how it was on that March afternoon when Wall noticed her neighbor’s new gardener. She knew that the man worked with Sarah at the local garden shop, and he made Sarah’s yard flourish. If he could do
magic there, Wall imagined that he might at least be able to dig up those detested azaleas. She asked if he could work for her and, within days, Wall met Giles Owita. He was slender and gentlemanly, with a brilliant smile and calming demeanor that contrasted with Wall’s tendency to worry. He had a deep understanding of horticulture – she was later embarrassed to learn how deep — and despite her overwrought ideas for what he called her “compound,” he knew what she wanted more than she did. And thus, a fifty-something West Virginia white woman became friends with a middle-aged emigrant who hailed from Kenya. As the seasons passed and Owita de-
lighted Wall with garden surprises and lessons, their friendship grew like the plants they tended. Owita supported Wall through breast cancer and the death of both her parents. Wall came to the rescue of Owita and his family during his health crisis. Theirs was an easy friendship, but Wall sensed reluctance from the Owitas to relax. They were quiet and reserved. They never burdened anyone with their problems and were embarrassed when they had to accept help. Wall could never understand why – until she learned the truth… There’s one important thing I know about “Mister Owita’s Guide to Gardening”: bring a box of tissues. Maybe two. I don’t think I’m ruining anything by telling you that; this is, after all, a book about two people who couldn’t possibly be more different, but who became extremely important to one another. There’s bound to be emotion in that kind of story, but author Carol Wall infuses joy in it, too, as well as a sense of mystery and delightful humor. I loved that and, though you won’t normally find a memoir described as a page-turner, that’s exactly what I thought this memoir was. This is a book for gardeners and non-
gardeners alike, for book groups, and for anyone who cherishes an unexpected friendship. If that’s you, then “Mister Owita’s Guide to Gardening” is a book you won’t be able to leaf.

Safely dispose of prescription drugs during national event By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ coloradocommunitymedia.com The eighth annual National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is coming up and residents in Westminster and surrounding areas have plenty of locations to choose from to drop off their unwanted medications. The event is April 26, and those living in Westminster can stop by 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at two locations, the Westminster Public Safety Center, 9110 Yates St. and Fire Station 1, 3947 W. 72rd Ave. This is the first year the city has offered two drop-off locations due to the high volume of participation last year.
“We had 350 pounds of medication last year dropped off at one site, which is a lot,” said Jessica Beren with the Westminster Police Department. “We decided this year to add a second site so people in other parts of the city have a second option.” National Prescription Drug Take Back Day was started by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, DEA, and aims to provide a safe, convenient and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications. Beren said through the event, prescription drugs are disposed in a safe way, rather than ending up in the city’s water system. “Flushing medications down the toilet
could potentially cause a safety issue with the water,” she said. “By disposing of medications in an appropriate manner, water contamination in the system is avoided.” Drug Take Back Day also lowers the risk prescription drugs ending up in the hands of vulnerable people, like children, teenagers and drug addicts. Beren said some people throw away their medications, but that poses a problem because some people go through dumpsters in search of unwanted drugs. “We don’t want drugs ending up in residential area trashcans,” she said. “It’s a public safety hazard.” Beren encourages people to remove any personal information on drug bottles or to put the medications in a sealed bag. Items
not accepted include needles, sharps, mercury, thermometers, oxygen containers, chemotherapy/radioactive substances, pressurized canisters or illicit drugs. After the police department collects the prescription drugs, DEA staff will dispose of the drugs. Other area sites include: Thornton Police Department, Thornton Fire Station Number 5, Northglenn Police Department, Arvada Police Department, Commerce City Police Department and Brighton Police Department.

Skyview aiming for playoffs Carpio strong on the pitch By Scott Stocker Amanda Carpio has been nothing but super on the soccer fields this season for Skyview. And, it certainly should go on for another two seasons as she is only a sophomore. Yet while she has been an offensive wonder, the Wolverine defense has certainly backed her up. Skyview defeated Elizabeth, 3-1, last Thursday at Elizabeth behind Carpio’s three goals, thus running her season total to an amazing 25. But the Wolverines, 9-1, have been as devastating as a team on defense as Carpio has been on offense. Skyview, coached by Abbie Page, has only given up four goals all season while scoring 51. The only loss was, 1-0, to unbeaten Englewood, which improved to 9-0. The Pirates, by the way, have been more devastating than Skyview on defense as the Pirates have not allowed a single goal all season. “I think it’s been a great season,” Carpio said. “Our offense has clicked and our defense has definitely been strong. We seem
to have had some slow starts offensively in some of our games, but we quickly pick up our paces. “Everyone is playing very well under pressure,” said Carpio, who has been playing soccer since she was three-years old. “We have been able to finish well, have a strong midfield and our defense has been outstanding. We just want to keep it going and I think we can.” Indeed, Page has been more than pleased with Carpio and the way the rest of her team has been playing this season. The Wolverines shut out their first six opponents then lost to Englewood. The only other teams to score against them were Denver North (3-2) and Elizabeth. “Amanda is just a great athlete and a workhorse out there on the field,” Page said. “She has the goals, but she is very unselfish in her play. She has a great touch and always working to be better. Overall, this is a young group of girls, but they’ve come together extremely well. “We’ve definitely worked on defense for the past four years, but I haven’t had to put as much into it this season,” said Page, now in her fourth season at Skyview. “The girls are fine at defense, as our statistics show.
So, we’ve put a lot more work into our offense. “We lost five seniors and the girls had a lot to learn,” continued Page. “But we’ve had a lot of help for the freshmen from Amanda and our other older players. The girls have all willing worked hard and given 100-percent. These are girls who really love playing soccer. The offense has been a pleasant surprise and the girls have really stepped up.” The Rivas twins, Lucero and Laura, have also excelled defensively on the field for Skyview while Mariah Rameriz has tacked on seven goals for the number-two spot on the team. Lucero has also tallied five goals to set in the third spots in goals scored. “We believe in ourselves and we have a lot of confidence,” Lucero said. “We are playing so sound within our heads. Our defense is together and we’ve all been quick to get to the ball. Hopes are certainly high for a solid finish the rest of the way.” Added Laura, “We have certainly done respectively well this season and our key is staying on top of our play. We just want to stay focused and do what is expected from us. We’re all close and that’s certainly a plus.”
Ramirez and keeper Perla Bracamontes have also had fine seasons, especially Bracamontes in goal. Adding to the success of the four keepers for the team this season has been assistant coach Lindsey Wrege. “We’ve really had a good defense this season and my teammates haven’t let a lot of ball get through, either,” Bracamontes said. “I always get nervous before a game. When the ball comes toward me I just want to make the best decisions I can at the moment and not turn back. The shutouts have been great.” “I’m happy that we have been able to come together,” Ramirez said. “It’s been a lot of work, but it’s certainly paid off. I think a key is the leadership of our seniors and we try to keep the focus on the field. I’m calm and I try to calm the others down, too. I think we’ve been able to develop some great chemistry among all of us.” It’s chemistry that should propel Skyview right into the playoffs.

THROWN A CURVE BALL
Injured ace big part of city’s winning streak By Brent W. New This wasn’t the senior season Northglenn pitcher Jose Quezada had envisioned. With a firm command of a razorsharp fastball, and a handful of other pitches tossed in, Quezada was the easy choice to be named “staff ace” of the defending Eastern League Metro champions. But it didn’t go to plan – didn’t even come within a baseball field of it. After Quezada broke a bone in his foot in a game over spring break, the Norsemen senior has been limited to watching the waning days of his high school career from the dugout. Fortunately, in a game that spits out fortune and misfortune like a bag of seeds, Quezada is still trying to do everything he can to help Northglenn (8-6 overall, 5-0 Eastern Metro) grab another league title. “I just want to help wherever I can. I want to help the younger guys with pitching and hitting if I can,” Quezada said, referring to the Norsemen’s roster that lost four senior starters from a year ago. Maybe the biggest help he’s given though is to Northglenn’s new No. 1 pitcher, junior Jacob Brown. Following a sophomore year spent on the JV team, Brown has led the staff with a 2-1 record and an ERA at 3.54. When asked about Quezada’s mentorship on the mound, Brown didn’t miss a beat when praising his limping teammate. “Losing him was pretty devastating for us, but he’s been great through it. He and the coaches have helped with me pitch selection and just helped me get the mindset I need to pitch in some of these games,” said Brown, who has given up just one home run in 27 2/3 innings in six starts. “He’s like the nicest kid on the team. He just helps everyone.” It’s been paying off. Since Quezada’s injury, the Norsemen have won seven games in a row. It’s in part due to a resurgent pitching staff led by Brown, who most recently
Quezada in action. Photos by Brent W. New threw nine strikeouts to lead Northglenn to a monumental 12-3 league win over Prairie View (10-3-1, 5-1) last Thursday. And, of course, lights-out hitting led by 18 of Adam Adkins’ 22 RBIs on the season and Tad Sandoval’s recent 12 for 23 tear at the plate. Northglenn has outscored its opponents 83-21 in that time. “We are playing better but since we have a lot of injuries we need guys to keep stepping up for us,” Norsemen coach Hugo Garcia said. “And a lot of those guys will have to be the ones who played JV last year. I think our veterans, like Jose, and his leadership, have been a big part of helping some of our younger players grow on the fly.” Quezada, who will play at Howard Junior College next year, is unsure if he’ll be able to return to the field this spring. “I’ll see and just do whatever I can to help until then,” he said.
Jose Quezada winds up on the mound as he prepares to pitch the ball.

Draper makes his own comeback story By Brent New Depending on his attitude, Noah Draper’s coaches told him he could be one of the best things or worst things for Mountain Range in the 2014 season. Nobody could have seen this coming though. After a 2-5 record last year on the mound, a year filled with poor body language and even worse defense behind him, Draper tallied another jaw-dropping milestone to his remarkable comeback season when the senior threw the school’s first nohitter in a 9-0 win over Poudre at Mustang Ballpark on Tuesday. His 83-pitch gem for Mountain Range featured a blend of four pitches that kept the Impalas off-balance all game long. By the end, Draper struck out first 13 batters he faced, finished with school-most 18 Ks and walked just one over seven unblemished innings. It was practically perfect. “It was unbelievable really. Before the year the coaches told me I could be a big reason why we do great or bad this season and that drove me,” said Draper, who is 2-1 with a 1.22 ERA this year. “It’s my senior year, I thought. I didn’t want to just go through the motions like I did last year. I wanted the most out of my last year.”
He’s stuck to the basics to do so. Tuesday, Draper rarely missed with his upper80s fastball. Out of the 21 batters he faced, the Mustangs senior threw a first-pitch strike to 16 of them. His slider, curve and change-up were thrown in and helped him more and more as the game went on. “He has grown so much as a pitcher and leader for us,” Mountain Range coach Jeremy Lustik said. “Sometimes his attitude wasn’t great on the mound last year. Like our defense would make mistakes behind him and he just let it get to him.” This season, the defense is a little better. Tuesday, second baseman Brandon Weins made a circus catch on a Keaton Bartlett blooper with one out in the sixth inning. Then, Draper did the rest, striking out three of the next four batters, including Austin Broyst on five pitches to end the game. “I had no idea I had a no-hitter going or the number of people I had struck out until the seventh inning,” Draper said. “But even if I’d given up a hit or something, it wouldn’t have messed up my mindset like it could’ve last year. I’m just thankful to be out here.” Draper, who is committed to Garden City Community College, also went 3 for 4 with three RBIs and a triple.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF ApRil 14, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You’re doing better on the flexibility issue, but you still need to loosen up a bit to show you can be less judgmental and more understanding about certain sensitive matters. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your personal aspect continues to dominate this week. But try to make time to deal with important career-linked matters as well. A change of plans might occur by the weekend. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Excuses are not really needed for much of the confusion occurring this week. However, explanations from all parties could help in working things out to everyone’s satisfaction.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) That surprising (but pleasant) recent turn of events continues to develop positive aspects. But be prepared for a bit of a jolt on another issue that needs attention. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Creating a fuss might bring you that attention you want. But are you prepared for all the explaining you’d have to do? Better to use more subtle ways to make your bid. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) With education continuing to be a strong factor this week, this could be the time to start learning some new skills that can later be applied to a bid for a potential career move. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You might do well to reconsider some of your current time priorities before you get so deeply involved in one project that you neglect meeting a deadline on another. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) With an important decision looming, you need to be careful about the information you’re getting. Half-truths are essentially useless. Get the full story before you act. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Find out what everyone’s role is expected to be before accepting that workplace proposal. Getting all the facts now could prevent serious problems later on. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A flexible position on a workplace matter could be the best course to follow during the next several days. A personal issue also benefits from an open-minded approach. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) involving too many people in your workplace problem can backfire. Remember: Allegiances can shift. Ask trusted colleagues for advice, but don’t ask them to take sides. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Before submitting your suggestions, take more time to sharpen the points you want to make. The clearer the presentation, the more chance it has to get through when submitted. BORN THIS WEEK: Your clear sense of who you are gives you confidence when you need to tackle difficult situations. © 2014 King Features Synd., inc.
