Lack of trust by new board majority cited Superintendent Cindy Stevenson resigned from Jeffco Schools Saturday amid expressions of dissatisfaction with the direction of the school board. Following the general election in November, Stevenson announced her retirement and had agreed to serve through June — allowing the district time to recruit a new superintendent — before Saturday’s resignation. “I can’t lead and manage, because I am not trusted or respected by this board of education,” Stevenson said at the start of the meeting. “Consequently, I did approach the board, and said this isn’t working.”

‘I can’t lead and

Stevenson’s decision came after three months of work with a board that contains three newly elected board members: John Newkirk, Julie Williams, and Ken Witt, who are credited with sharing conservative perspectives. According to a press release, sent out by the board’s attorney, Stevenson approached the board seeking early termination of her contract. Stevenson said the three do not respect her or allow her to make decisions or lead the district. Throughout the meeting, which lasted less than 20 minutes, audience members Stevenson continues on Page 14

Council sets fee schedule for retail marijuana By Hugh Williams

POSTAL ADDRESS

Wheat Ridge City Council established an annual operating fee of $1,500 for retail marijuana stores at the Feb. 10 meeting. Pursuant to the state’s Amendment 64 and City Ordinance 1543, the city is authorized to impose operating fees to cover costs for the enforcing, inspecting and administration of retail shops in the city. Council decided on $1,500 for retail stores, and $600 for marijuana cultivation stores, marijuana testing laboratories, and for product manufacturers. The city will also impose a $100 late fee for fees more than 90 days past due. At the Feb. 3 study session, city staff originally proposed the fees at $500 and $200 respectively based on the cost to the Wheat Ridge tax division and the police department. After some discussion, council agreed to triple those numbers. During the study session, George Pond, district 3 councilman, had 1some concerns about raising the 6x1.75_BringAppetite_Layout 1 2/3/14 11:15 AM Page fees. He recalled a study session in which council

discussed imposing reasonable fees. Pond said, “Fees were not a place that you could just make money on and that they needed to be tied to a reasonable justification ... I’m not saying that we shouldn’t double this necessarily, but if I heard that correctly, it means you need to justify why they would be a $1000 vs. $500,” Pond said. Dahl pointed out that since retail marijuana businesses are new and no one really knows how much it’s going to cost the cities and the state to regulate them, it’s best to inflate the fees and hope that the fees cover the costs. Council originally moved to use the $500 as a base licensing fee but due to a constitutional amendment, the city cannot impose a licensing fee if the state of Colorado is already doing so. Since the state is issuing licensing fees, Wheat Ridge cannot establish its own but the state is required to share back half of the fee to the city. City Manager Patrick Goff, said the fee is $2,500 for new retail businesses and $500 for medical marijuana establishments converting to retail stores. Council unanimously approved the fees.

Housing market experts seem to be in agreement that real estate is booming and healthy in Colorado. For Jeffco, single family homes averaged 48 days on the market which is a 32 percent decrease from 2012 where single family homes averaged 71 days, according to a market report from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. “It’s showing a healthy market, it’s leaning a little bit to the buyer’s side and that’s just a lack of inventory,” Mike Welk, metrolist director of DMAR said. “That lack of inventory is going to be one of the obstacles consumers will face as demand surpasses supply. New listings are down 35 percent which is drastically under where the county is normally at,” Welk said. “When we have an increase in price and a decrease on days on market we’re just getting a competitive situation where supply is not there but the demand is very high which is driving the price up and lowering the days on the market,” he said. “We just need more inventory on the market for it to be more of a balanced market.” Still, buyers are purchasing homes over the asking price and cities like Golden are seeing homes being gobbled up by eager homebuyers. Today, the city of Golden has only six active listings and homes that hit the market can disappear in five days or less but no more than 26 days, according to Golden Real Estate. In the past there were 20 to 30 listings, said Jim Smith, broker and owner of Golden Real Estate. “If you’re thinking of selling your home and thinking that buying season is in the spring, forget about it,” Smith said. “That’s what people need to know is there is no season for buying.” Smith reported that low interest rates on mortgages have contributed to the buying frenzy and why “it’s been such a hot winter for real estate.” But Smith, along with Welk both predict that mortgage rates will increase as winter turns to spring and the state begins to warm up. “Mortgage rates will probably continue to increase this year, into the five (percent) maybe,” Welk said. He projects that demand from buyers will increase and for homeowners who were considered a distressed property, they may see a comeback this year. “With the median home price going up, if you were underwater the last year or so, you’ll probably come back to being even or having a little equity in your property,” Welk said. “Now is a good time whether you’re a buyer or a seller to get out there and use a realtor and just ask questions.”

This one is for the dogs

As someone who covers the state Legislature, it’s common for me to write about lawmakers who fight like cats and dogs. Yeah, yeah, I get it. Legislators will tell you that more than 90 percent of bills are passed with bipartisan support. No argument there. But do they really expect the press to write about a unanimous resolution to designate the month of July as Go Fly a Kite Month? Not sure if that’s something that’s actually happened, but you get my point. On the heavy-duty bills having to do with gun control and oil and gas regulations, lawmakers sure do know how to throw down, steel cage-style. They fight and scratch and claw and bite, and covering that messy business can get old after a while. So imagine my delight when I found out that a group of lawmakers, who at times fight like cats and dogs, get together periodically to talk about taking care of cats and dogs — and other cute critters, large and small. The Colorado Legislative Animal Caucus, or CLAW, is made up of a bipartisan group of lawmakers who deal with any kind of legislation having to do with animals. “We discuss all kinds of animal issues,” said state Sen. David Balmer, R-Centennial, a caucus co-chairman. “Large animals like horses and cows and very small animals like reptiles and birds. We discuss everything.” The caucus gets together to discuss potential legislation. The consensus on issues is non-binding, but it serves a starting point for animal bills that end up being introduced at the Capitol. As a reporter who can lose political romance due to the often-ugly sausage-making process at the Capitol, it’s kind of nice being able to recognize lawmakers who take time to craft legislation aimed at protecting our “Snausage” eating four-legged friends. When folks think about the role of state legislators, they think of budget committees and floor votes. Few would guess that lawmakers convene as a special body to talk

about animal welfare issues. “I think some folks might be surprised,” said Rep. Steve Lebsock, D-Thornton, a CLAW caucus member. “But, to be honest with you, 60 percent of the households in Colorado have either a dog or cat. They might be surprised if we didn’t have a caucus. “People love animals. Their little dogs and cats are like their children and grandchildren. I think a lot of people would be really proud to see their lawmakers looking out for the welfare of animals in the state.” Caucus member Rep. Lois Court, DDenver, said it shouldn’t come as any surprise that the legislature has its own caucus that deals with issues pertaining to animals. “We have caucuses to talk about the disabled, veterans and rural Colorado,” she said. “Our constituents across the state have a gazillion of particular interests. And there is a huge population in this state who is concerned about animal welfare.” While lawmakers who participate in the CLAW caucus do so out of a love for animals, not everything that the body deals with is touchy-feely legislation. They actually take up quite a few controversial issues. For example, last year the Legislature passed a bill that designates shelter dogs and cats as being the official state pet, something that spurred opposition from breeders and pet shop businesses. And Lebsock introduced a bill that would limit the practice of tail docking, where a dairy cow’s tail is partially amputated. That bill, which received opposition from dairy

groups, didn’t make it out of the Capitol last year, but Lebsock is pleased that the issue could end up on the ballot this fall. So, just like any other issue, all politics is local when it comes to animal matters. “I think legislators are reticent to vote against a bill that’s helping dogs and cats,” Balmer said. “But when it comes to the large animal issues, you can almost predict how a legislator is going to come down on it based on how their district looks.” If you know Balmer, his participation in the CLAW caucus should come as no surprise. He is known at the Capitol as the “dog legislator.” Last year, Balmer sponsored legislation that created law enforcement training practices whenever cops encounter dogs at crime scenes. The legislation was spurred by incidents where dogs were shot and killed by officers who were responding to house calls. And this year, Balmer’s bill to allow emergency medical personnel to provide medical care to domestic dogs and cats is expected to become law. Balmer owns three dogs — two vizlas (a type of Hungarian hunting dog) and a German Long-haired pointer. Balmer boasts his love of dogs through his email tag, which reads: Be as good as your dog. The Centennial senator is a dog lover — and who can blame a guy for that? “Dogs are inherently good,” he said. “They are always trying to celebrate your homecoming. When you go to the grocery store and come back home, it’s a big deal for them. Any time you’re having a sad day, your dog will sense it and comfort you. They are a greater creature of love than we are.” Tell me about it. Bennie, my 11-year-old mystery mutt, has been a vital part of my life since he was a puppy. If I could point to the day when I fell in love with him, it was when I was watching a Cubs game on TV. Livid at the Cubs performance — which, as a Cubs fan, I often am — I threw my Cubs cap at the TV set in disgust. Bennie, who was on the couch with me,

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

Longtime postmen retire from service

Wayne Parrington was d offborn on Feb. 13 at Rose andMedical Center. Frank Caniumpsno was born at Rose Medical five days later. Around a Su-1979, Parrington joined the ectedUnited States Postal Serntedvice. As luck would have it, ng. ICanino joined the postal wall,service five years later. d on After 34 years of work as face.a letter carrier for the post e sol-office, Parrington would minghave retired from Wheat Ridge’s post office last year. unds.But Canino, now his best whofriend, convinced him to Thestay another year so Canino whocould retire as well with 30 years under his belt. n the Both men developed eren’ttheir passion for postal work r ve-at an early age when they waysspoke to their mailmen. ptedGrowing up in Commerce City, young Parrington omeswould run out to greet the dogs,mailman as the mail was ers indelivered. Canino, a Wheat Ridge native, thought it was

the greatest job ever. “Our guy walked to each house and I would meet him every day when I was about four or five also and I just thought, ‘This is the greatest job ever. You get to walk around in shorts and out in the sun,” Canino said. “They didn’t tell me about the winters.” For a combined total of 65 years, these two men have seen it all. They’ve seen 5 postmasters come through the Wheat Ridge location. As a union steward, Canino has trained some of them. It hasn’t all been sunshine and rainbows for the two however, both men noted that the first year of postal work is brutal. In a career that emphasizes seniority, Canino and Parrington started out as parttime flexibles. They got different routes, and had to search for mailboxes. Par-

rington delivered mail on foot for the first 15 years of his career. Canino has undergone multiple surgeries on both knees and has a fused ankle. “If you don’t have some sort of gumption, you’re probably going to quit. It’s not for everybody,” Canino said. The good times outweigh the bad however. Parrington fondly remembers watching delivering birth notices and then watching that child grow up. He hopes to spend some on his new freetime with his newborn grandson. Canino is going to get his real estate license with his daughter. No matter what the future holds, Parrington and Canino know they’ll be remembered. Why? “Old postmen never die, they just lose their zip,” Canino said.

Voluntary Associations Are Being Created in Subdivisions Without HOAs

By JIM SMITH, Realtor ®

Buyers will often tell me they want to find a home with no homeowners association (“HOA”). If the home is in a pre-1990 subdivision, that is quite possible. HOA-averse buyers may have an RV or a boat which they want to park on their property. Most HOAs have rules against that. Or such buyers might have had a bad experience with an HOA enforcing rules or covenants they deemed unreasonable, and it left a bad taste in their mouths. HOAs serve a valid purpose — to protect the property values of all member homeowners by not allowing individual homeowners to neglect their property or, yes, to store RVs, boats or large commercial vehicles where they can be seen from the street or by neighbors. Back in the 1970s and 1980s subdivisions were created with developer-created covenants serving similar purposes, but it wasn’t until later that they included the creation of HOAs for the purpose of maintaining common property and amen-

ities and enforcing those covenants. When you buy a home in such a subdivision, you must agree to accept the covenants and pay dues to the HOA. If you don’t pay those dues, they can become a lien on your property, and an HOA can even foreclose on your property if HOA dues go unpaid for six months. In smaller subdivisions, these HOAs might be self-managed, but larger subdivisions typically hire an HOA management company to handle the day-to-day business of collecting dues, maintaining and paying property taxes on common areas, etc.. The HOA itself has a board of directors consisting of homeowners elected at an annual meeting. This board hires (and can fire) the management company. Seeing the need for rules governing both HOAs and their management companies, Colorado’s legislature created the HOA Information Office within the Division of Real Estate and gave it powers which I outlined in my Jan. 16th column, which is archived at www.JimSmith Columns.com.

Assessment program’s continuation uncertain Board seeks to remove childhood assessment waiver from state By Crystal Anderson

canderson@coloradocommunitymedia. com Jefferson County Board of Education voted to continue the use of Teaching Strategies Gold (TS Gold) for students in the Colorado Preschool Program (CPP) while simultaneously seeking a waiver to escape requirements set forth by the Colorado Department of Education (CDE). The 3-2 decision, with Fellman and Dahlkemper voting against, came after several groups and Superintendent Cindy Stevenson spoke on both sides of the topic and the facts surrounding the possible approval or denial of the assessment program. “Continuity in instruction is very important,” Stevenson said. According to the CDE, the district must use either TS Gold or HighScope COR as early childhood assessment programs, measuring the growth of each child. These programs measure 38 objectives in 10 categories. Through this program, students’ skills in social-emotional, language, cognitive, physical, science and technology, social studies, arts, English language acquisition, mathematics and literacy are measured through observation, data, and electronic tools. Newkirk specifically criticized the use of computer tablets for student observation as “a high-tech barrier between the teacher and student.” “We’ve also heard testimony that our parents feel teachers should be spending more time teaching children and developing relationship with them and less time conducting behavioral assessments and uploading videos of their children to a database, lawsuits ... ,” said Newkirk, who was in support of the motion. During the Feb. 6 meeting, parents spoke both in support and opposition of the program, citing the program’s highlights in as-

sessment for students. “Thanks to conferences and conversations utilizing TS Gold, I am partnering with (my daughter’s) teachers to move her forward as both a learner and as a whole person,” said Jen Granberry, a Jeffco parent and supporter of TS Gold. “The feedback is individualized, specific, academic and developmentally age-appropriate.” But for several parents at the meeting, like Sunny Flynn, while assessing children based on these measures, the tactics used to measure the TS Gold objectives were lacking in security, and they asked the board to ensure stronger privacy protection policies. “I urge the board to recognize that Jefferson County needs foundational privacy policies in place to protect student data first before you proceed with any more data collection or data linking,” Flynn said. If the district chooses to not utilize either program, Jeffco will lose $5.4 million it receives from the Colorado Preschool Program (CPP) for the 2014-15 school year, and would not be eligible to participate in the CPP. “I have to inform you that if there were no approved assessments provided to your preschool students, we would have no choice but to withhold funds in accordance with statute,” said Colorado commissioner of education Robert Hammond in an email to the superintendent. “It is a requirement of outcome reporting for CPP and Special Education.” For the board, fearing TS Gold might have greater security issues than the recently-dropped inBloom program, they opted to continue usage of the assessment in preschools while petitioning the state to use a non-recommended program with better security. “We need to have our own standard of privacy, and that agreement should be used across the board for everything we do,” Williams said. “I think a development of that type of agreement would certainly ease the minds of many parents.” The board will seek the waiver, and should they be denied, will revisit the issue of continuing usage of TS Gold or switching to the HighScope COR assessment.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks before Listing Your Jefferson County Home

Jefferson County – According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn

opinions / yours and ours

Inspiration, hope for generations to come A high school student kills a classmate. Another sets himself on fire. Still another murders his mother. Those things happened in Denver’s suburbs in a recent six-week span. Across the country, media reports tell far and wide of teenagers doing something horribly wrong. But there are inspirational stories, too, stories of teen achievement, of overcoming obstacles. Typically, though, they don’t generate much media buzz outside of the immediate community. Recently, one did. Bailey Roby is an 18-year-old varsity basketball player for Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch. In late January, he found himself at the center of controversy because he runs the court on

our view two prosthetic legs. The Colorado High School Activities Association made a mid-season ruling that Roby’s appearances in games compromised his and other players’ safety. For several days, it looked like the fan favorite’s playing career was over. Still, he was poised to be there for his teammates. “Now, I just gotta sit on the bench and support (the team),” Roby said after the Jan. 24 game that, at the time, looked to be his last. “The most important thing is

being a part of the team.” We were the first media outlet to report on Roby’s plight, but far from the last. The story was covered by most of Denver’s print and digital media but also was picked up by, among many others, “Good Morning America” and the British newspaper the Daily Mail. Facebook and Twitter were abuzz as social media campaigns ignited by Mountain Vista students and community members pushed to get Roby back in the game. And that’s what happened. Upon further review, CHSAA decided Roby could play as long as both teams agreed to it. The idea that Roby represented a safety risk confounded many. “I don’t think Bailey is a hazard to anyone on the floor and certainly not to him-

self,” said Roby’s father, Scott. “He’s been in hundreds of practices and he played junior varsity last year. If he falls down, he gets back up.” Roby’s statistics certainly won’t draw all-state attention — he averages 1.4 points per game, with a season-high of 3, generally seeing action when the powerhouse Golden Eagles have a victory wrapped up. The state playoffs tip off in a couple of weeks and it’s likely Roby’s oncourt role will become even smaller. But he’ll be there if the team needs him. Just like his classmates and the community were there when he needed them. Teamwork. Overcoming obstacles. Getting up when you get knocked down. Teenagers learning life lessons. There’s plenty of good news out there.

Your life: Fantasy, do not attempt Are you done talking the Super Bowl? I am too, except to say that I love ya, Broncos. But I do want to talk about Super Bowl ads, although the crop this year was less remarkable than previous years. Think of the Apple Macintosh “1984” as with its sheer shock value, the same year that Wendy’s introduced us to Clara Peller and the iconic phrase “Where’s the beef?” Coca-Cola winners have included Mean Joe Green and a desire teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. This year’s goose-bump-raising stunner celebrates the beauty of diversity with Americans of various ethnicities reciting “America the Beautiful.” Clydesdales and their heartwarming connections are always champs and when we add puppies … well, let’s just say that 35 million online viewers — before the spot even aired during the game — can’t be wrong. Celebrity endorsements for cars attempted to bring a human connection to a category that usually spins, literally, out of control. And it’s this very spinning, careening, jumping, and dust-spewing that caught my attention … although in a very different way than intended. Legal machinations have long forced auto makers to include disclaimers in ads to protect us from emulating cool stunts performed by “professional drivers on closed courses.” These warnings now also steer us away from believing that cars can fly, and they remind us that cars are not skateboards. When you’re spending $4 million a pop to reach the unsuspecting public, you better make sure that we stay safe in case we should get a wild notion to, say, piggy back on a commuter train. This is assuming of course that we have trouble evaluating the situation for ourselves, according to the FTC that regulates such things. I understand the legal necessity of cover-your-butt verbiage, but it’s so condescending. That’s why it’s refreshing to see a move to the fantasy side, as in the new Nissan Rogue commercial where,

during its more extravagant scenes, the disclaimer tells us: “Fantasy. Cars can’t jump on trains.” Nissan is taking a lot of heat for the reasons I expressed above about the patronizing nature of disclaimers, but I love this fantasy approach. It so clearly says that “You know and we know that cars can’t jump on trains, and even if you don’t know it, this fine print isn’t going stop you anyway.” Disclaimers may be nonnegotiable, but why not make them funny and noticeable, which is exactly the intent in the first place? On the other hand, Jeep aired an supposed-to-be-thoughtful ad that encourages us to step out of complacency but it’s ruined by excessive warnings against actually trying it. We’re told the lone skateboarder is on a closed road and not to attempt a jump into the ocean. But whyare we warned against simple play? Can only a “Professional Child in Closed Field” run through the grass or cavort on a beach? I enjoy the new disclaimers that poke fun at themselves while fulfilling the legal obligation to protect us, but I’m also alarmed that such ads will soon begin to caution us against stepping out of the house. I won’t even be surprised when the inevitable verbiage pops us to warn us that our very lives are fantasy — do not attempt. Andrea Doray is a writer who would really like to attempt some of the stunts in these ads, but she probably won’t. Contact her at a.doray@andreadoray.com.

February 13, 2014

Don’t force-choke one that disagrees About a year and a half ago, I wrote a column in which I advised that the power of a message is, at least partially, dependent on the credibility of the messenger. I said, contrary to my natural tendencies, that style matters, especially if your style causes people to completely look away from the substance of your message. In fact, one of my lines was “You want to talk education reform? Maybe you can start by NOT belittling the hard work of people who have dedicated their lives to working with children.” Oddly enough, I was kinda slapped upside the head by that line Saturday morning. Let’s start by acknowledging a couple of realities. The three majority members of the Jefferson County Board of Education were elected on a clear, conservative “reform” platform. They were also elected by very clear majorities in all three races. The people of Jefferson County spoke. But, there are other realities. In politics, perception is reality. One perception — fair or not — is that conservatives approach education in the same way that Darth Vader approached the news that the Millennium Falcon had escaped.

I, for one, do not think that is the truth. I, as a conservative, love public education and believe very deeply in the value of the mission and the professionals who strive to carry it out. I also believe that the liberal monopoly on education policy and leadership for many years created a vacuum of accountability and competitiveness, which ultimately led to high-stakes testing and charter schools and the whole reform movement. In other words, I think conservative voices have a valuable place in education policy-making, and I am glad that they have gotten in the game in the last 20 years. But there’s a good way to do things, and a bad way to do things. Cindy Stevenson

announced her retirement from Jeffco shortly after this conservative board was elected, so we’ve all known for some time that she was leaving. After more than 30 years of service to the district, regardless of your opinion of her, it would seem good form dictates that leadership honor that service and, at least publicly, show respect for someone who has been at the helm through some tumultuous times. Instead, it is widely known that the board leaned on her and made it difficult to do her job. So when the board announced at the end of the regular Thursday meeting that they would be holding an unusual Saturday meeting to discuss personnel matters regarding the superintendent, many people, including me, assumed that meant the board was going to dismiss Stevenson early. Whatever the truth of that assumption, she rendered the point moot by announcing at the beginning of the meeting that she would be leaving by the end of February. The news headlines have been harsh: Superintendent forced out, announces resignation. And it’s that “forced” part that I have a hard time with. You can say this was what you were elected to do, and you

can say that change is going to happen sooner rather than later. But I cannot grasp any substantive good that can come out of forcing this decision early; I don’t see how it makes the district stronger, or the students smarter, by leaving the district without a leader while searching for her replacement. At the very least, I fail to see how disrespecting and dismissing a person who has spent more than 30 years of her life dedicated to serving the students of this district makes the district better, or enhances the credibility of the new Board of Education. It lacked style, and that will get in the way of substance going forward. If you’re trying to convince people that you are, in fact, NOT Darth Vader, you probably shouldn’t Force-choke to death the first person who disagrees with you.

‘Parallel Lives’ at Miners Alley Playhouse Lisa DeCaro and Gail Montgomery star in the fast-paced comedy “Parallel Lives” at Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden running through Mar. 9. They also starred in the 2011 Evergreen Players’ production of “Parallel Lives” that took top honors at a Regional Theater Festival; went on to the National Festival in New York; and then played for the US Armed Forces in Heidelberg, Germany. Throughout the course of the play, the two women portray 36 different characters ... very different characters beginning with two heavenly beings complete with robes and wings. Characters range from teenagers to a man and woman at a country bar (my personal favorite – listen for “you’re lookin’ varrry, varrry prettyyy). Though some of the vignettes could have benefitted from a little trimming, it was a most enjoyable evening. It’s clear that DeCaro and Montgomery have been to this rodeo before and won the blue ribbon. For tickets and info, call 303-935-3044 or visit www.minersalley.com.

‘Hamlet’ in The Stage Theatre at DCPA Though I’ve seen several versions of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” never before have I had such a visceral connection

PHAMALY returns to Arvada Center

to this splendid play. The Denver Center Theatre Company production under the direction of Kent Thompson brought suspense, laughter, and even tears. The actors’ diction was pure and clear and allowed me to have a new appreciation for The Bard’s brilliant use of the English language. I was mesmerized by the nuances the players brought to the awe-inspiring dialogue. Though first performed in 1600-02, this interpretation is set right before the start of World War I. Corruption runs rampant in the court since the murder of Hamlet’s father. Soon after his father’s death, his mother marries his uncle who is suspected of killing Hamlet’s father. As the prince of Denmark tried to avenge his father’s death things begin to unravel. “Hamlet” runs through Feb. 23 and is, in a word,

What relationships require Editor’s note: This is the second of a two-part series. In honor of Valentine’s week, here is a continuation of some of the basic intimacy skills a healthy relationship requires of us: Make your relationship a top priority. Don’t spend your “prime time” consistently preoccupied with other things, and don’t permit yourself to be too tired when you’re around your partner. Consistently show up both emotionally and physically. Take an active interest in the other person and his/her feelings, hopes, hurts, angers and fears, and offer your emotional presence. You offer emotional presence by trying to deepen your understanding of your partner, and inviting him or her to talk about his/her struggles, aspirations and dreams. What does s/he worry about? Which activities, events or people bring him/her the most satisfaction in life? The most joy? The most pain? What is s/he most looking forward to? What are his/her goals and dreams over the next five years? Express warmth and be physically affectionate on a consistent basis. Being “sweet,” using endearments, being romantic, affectionate touch, cards, gifts, flowers, compliments, date nights — don’t underestimate the power of these behaviors if they’re done consistently. Address problems in a civil and

constructive way. Many people respond to a disagreement or hurt feelings with anger, rage, name-calling, sarcasm, harsh judgments, criticisms, threats, disrespectful behaviors or words, or defensiveness — which poisons the whole environment between the two of you, and discourages open and honest communication. Make this mistake and your relationship will not be close, friendly or intimate. You cannot be disrespectful to another person and then expect closeness and affection. Listen for the longing behind your partner’s complaints. Some examples: “If we can’t control our spending, we’ll go bankrupt.” “We’re not having sex often enough.” “Life has too many chores and not enough fun.” In those examples, what would you guess that person is longing for? Beyond the obvious, s/he may also be Rosenthal continues on Page 11

Celebrating the ultimate tour guides

40 West Arts show examines fiber art By Clarke Reader

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

underserved and could use the space.” According to Julie Byerlein, a member of the board for the district and a volunteer with its champion group, the show features submissions from artists from all over the country, thanks to 40 West’s efforts in reaching out to a diverse range of colleges and art schools. Colorado State University has a WHAT: “Unraveled - Fiber famous fiber Re-imagined” arts show evWHERE: 40 West Arts gallery ery year that 1560 Teller St., Lakewood is currently WHEN: Through Feb. 27 on display, Tuesday through Friday - 1 to and the 4 p.m. hope is “UnSaturday - noon to 4 p.m. raveled” will COST: Free benefit from INFORMATION: the attention www.40westarts.org and artists participating in that show. “We have 26 pieces on display and are fortunate enough to have work from schools all over the country,” Byerlein said. “We want to engage everyone and to that end we have a wide range of works in the show.” To tap into the variety of works available, the show includes the use of textiles, string, yarn, wire, and a broad spectrum of recycled materials. There are also a variety of textile techniques used by artists — from woven, knitted and crocheted metal to handmade paper, beads, embroidery and quilting. The show is juried by Wendy Franzen and Sara Rockinger, both of whom are well known in the fiber arts community. “As the curator you’re kind of like a neutral person, helping the artists with questions and logistics while making the decisions on space and installation,” Eversley said. According to Eversley, there are a lot of things to be excited about in regards to the show, not the least of which is the fact

LEGISLATURE BRIEFS Logo vote bill rejected

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

Youth tanning bed restrictions moves forward

A tougher version of a bill that would

restrict children from using tanning beds has cleared its first legislative hurdle. House Bill 1054 would ban all persons under 18 from using tanning beds. The bill is motivated by studies that show tanning beds can contain cancer-causing carcinogens. Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster, has sponsored similar measures the last couple of years, though this year’s bill is tougher than ones she had previously introduced. It bans all youths from using tanning beds, regardless of whether they have a parent’s permission. The bill passed the House Health, Insurance and Environment Committee on Feb. 6, following a party-line vote of 6-5. The bill now heads to another House committee before it receives a full vote in the House.

Gun permit measure fails

A Republican effort to roll back permit requirements for those who carry concealed weapons died in a House committee on Feb. 4. House Bill 1041, sponsored by Reps.

Chris Holbert, R-Parker and Jared Wright, R-Fruita, would have done away with Colorado statute that prohibits the carrying of a concealed weapon without a permit. The bill suffered an expected partyline defeat in the House Judiciary Committee. The bill was another failed attempt by Republican lawmakers to roll back a Democratic gun law platform that Democrats believe better protects the public from harm. Republicans disagree and claim that those efforts are burdensome to lawabiding citizens.

Parolees face arrest under ankle monitoring tampering bill

The House Appropriations Committee on Feb. 6 unanimously voted in support of a measure that would send parolees to jail if they remove or tamper with their electronic monitoring devices. Those who tamper with their devices are subject to an immediate warrant-less arrest.

Motivation behind the bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Tim Dore, R-Elizabeth, stems from last year’s murder of Tom Clements, the Colorado prisons chief who was shot to death by a man on parole who had cut off his ankle monitoring bracelet. The bill now heads to a vote on the floor of the House.

Synthetic pot liability bill moves forward

Retailers who sell synthetic drugs will face fines and civil liability, under a bill that passed a House committee last week. The so-called designer-drugs, such as synthetic marijuana, have resulted in hospital visits or death among some who have smoked them. House Bill 1037, sponsored by Rep. Lois Landgraf, R-Fountain, would slap vendors who sell the drugs with penalties up to $500,000. That money would be diverted to the state’s general fund. The unanimously passed the House Judiciary Committee and now heads to the House Appropriations Committee for further consideration.

Students sign on to college sports programs Students continuing athletic careers all over the country By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ coloradocommunitymedia.com National Letter of Intent Day was on Wednesday in Colorado and around the nation as prep athletes sign letters of intent to continue their athletic careers collegiately. Student athletes from all over Jeffco were honored at their schools displaying the hats and sweaters of the schools they will go on to represent. From Notre Dame to Northern Colorado, Jeffco again showed why they are one of the best leagues and districts in Colorado as literally dozens of students have been offered scholarships to pursue their athletic and academic dreams. Student athletes who played football, soccer, field hockey, track and field, cross country and men’s water polo were allowed to officially commit Wednesday. Below is a partial list of student athletes who have committed. A complete list will be printed later in the school year: ARVADA WEST: Brody Hagel-Pitt - Iowa Western CC - Baseball Justin Mulvaney - Northern Colorado - Baseball Alexzandra Vigil - Colby (Kan.)

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ coloradocommunitymedia.com ARVADA - Evergreen proved again they are Jeffco’s best, winning the season’s end Jeffco League meet Saturday at Meyer’s Pool. With a team score of 603 the Cougars won the meet as not only 4A Jeffco’s best team, but also better than 5A Jeffco’s Ralston Valley who finished second as a team with 429 points. D’Evelyn finished third as a team with 425 points, Chatfield finished fourth with 402 points and Lakewood finished fifth with 376 points. In addition, Golden finished in sixth place with 258 teams points and Wheat Ridge finished in ninth place with 221 points.

Also, Erin Metzger-Seymour won the 200 Free in 1:51.28 and Mackenzie Atencio won the 100 Breast in 1:05.53. Arvada West’s Morgan McCormack won the 100 Back in 0:56.20 and her Wildcats’ teammates finished in 11th place with a team score of 166. Pomona’s Zarena Brown won the 100 Free in 0:52.90 and the Panthers’ finished with 155 team points good for 13th place. Brenna Bushey won the 100 Fly for D’Evelyn with a time of

0:56.37 and Lakewood’s Meghan Lahr won the 50 Free in 0:24.81. Chatfield’s Averly Hobbs was Jeffco’s best diver, winning the One-Meter with a score of 464.50. Lakewood’s Allison Murphy finished as the second best diver with a score of 430.45 and Evergreen’s Katrin Lewis finished in third with 391.55. Other notable finishers include Golden’s Sabrina Sabadeanu who finished seventh in the 100 Back with a time of 1:00.43 and 10th in the 200 IM with a time of 2:15.82.

CONIFER - Wheat Ridge responded to two tough losses with a 72-50 blowout victory Friday at Conifer High School. The Farmers had five players in double-figures and used that complete team effort to beat a feisty Conifer team for a league victory. Wheat Ridge senior Stefan Hackethal scored a game-high 19 points and added five rebounds and four steals, but head coach Tom Dowd credited sophomore Padilla Damian as the spark that led to the Farmers’ convincing victory. Damian came off the bench and had 13 points and a pair of steals. But what does not show up in the stat sheet was Damian’s defense energy that led to several easy baskets which helped break the game open. Wheat Ridge junior Willie Harris also had big numbers scoring 15 points and pulling down 10 re-

bounds, and junior Jordan Jones had 10 points and four steals. Conifer actually led 16-10 after a first quarter where the Farmers failed to get any traction offensively. Wheat Ridge has had problems getting their offense going early in games this season. However, the Farmers outscored Conifer 24-8 in the second quarter and added 25 more points in the third quarter delivering their best back-to-back scoring quarters of the season. Conifer senior Will Stevenson had 13 points and was tough on the glass all night recording eight rebounds, but too many mistakes forced by good Wheat Ridge defense led to the lopsided victory. The Farmers (7-12, 4-6 in 4A Jeffco) are coming off back-to-back heartbreaking losses. Wheat Ridge narrowly missed what would have been their biggest win of the season falling 74-65 last Friday at Green Mountain. And they fell 52-51 to Evergreen Wednesday at home. Still, the Farmers have a chance to finish in the top half of their league standings. Wheat Ridge will play at Alameda Thursday at 7 p.m.

The Wildcats won eight straight matches starting with Bennie Pachello who won by pin over Jason Ramero in 2:39 at 132 pounds. “Pomona has set a pretty high standard in the league so we are pretty proud about where we are at and how far we have come,” AWest coach Ron Granieri said. And as they got bigger in weight classes Arvada West just got stronger. A-West’s James Rothwell won by tech fall over Brandon Billips 19-4 at 138 pounds.

Sides gear up for fracking battle

Fight expected over possible November ballot measure

Capitol Report

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com With a ballot measure looming that could determine the future of hydraulic fracking in Colorado, oil and gas industry leaders are preparing for a battle. “We’ve got a serious fight on our hands in 2014,” Tim Wrigley, president of the Western Energy Alliance said. Wrigley’s comments came during a Jan. 31 forum in downtown Denver, where leaders from the oil and gas industry and other business groups converged. The hour-long discussion focused on developing pro-industry voter outreach strategies in anticipation of a potential November ballot initiative that is being driven by anti-fracking advocates.

Fracking is the mixing of water, sand and chemicals that are blasted deep into the surface to crack porous rock to free up blocked oil and gas. So far, five Colorado cities and more than 100 municipalities across the nation have either placed bans or other limits on the practice. The group behind the ballot proposal, the Colorado Community Rights Network, is the same organization that spearheaded last year’s successful ballot measure in Lafayette that banned any new oil and gas drilling there. If it makes it on to the ballot, the proposal — which was filed as a potential state constitutional amendment last month — would allow cities to block

oil and gas development, as well as any other kind of business practice that could have harmful impacts on residents’ well-being. Organizers have until August to collect 86,105 valid signatures for the proposal to make it on the November ballot. Cliff Wilmeng of the Colorado Community Rights Network says the ballot proposal goes beyond allowing cities to ban fracking. “Oil and gas isn’t even mentioned in the amendment,” he said. “The motivation is to ensure communities are able to exercise fundamental democratic rights and self determination.” But the oil and gas industry knows exactly what the ballot proposal is all about — it’s a statewide effort that could have serious repercussions for the fracking business, something that they believe is a critically important industry practice. “The ground has shifted forever under our feet,” Wrigley said. “All eyes of the country are on our state now.”

Debate over fracking proves that there are no easy answers when it comes to this highly polarizing issue. Anti-fracking activists argue that it can have longterm effects on the environment and can cause drinking water contamination. Those who are adamantly opposed to fracking say that research into its effects on health has only begun to

scratch the surface, as researchers continue to learn new information about the practice. For example, last week the University of Colorado released a study that indicates a higher percentage of birth defects among mothers who live near natural gas wells. But supporters of the industry insist that the practice is a safe one and one that creates jobs. They also point to statistics that show that fracking has made the U.S. less reliant upon foreign oil. “The facts are totally on our side,” Tisha Schuller, president of the Colorado Oil and Gas Association said. Schuller also told the forum that oil and gas money is so important to the state that 8 percent of Colorado’s economy would be at risk if the ballot measure proves successful. “It would be devastating,” she said. “It would take out Colorado’s economy immediately.” But Wilmeng said that the oil and gas industry is being “short-sided” on this issue, ignoring environmental threats, while corporate CEO’s pad their wallets. “If the oil and gas industry is so confident in their longevity and popularity in the state, they should defer the decision making to the people of Colorado,” he said.

Making the issue even more difficult are the complicated politics that sur-

through the Capitol that would require warnings on home purchase contracts, letting potential buyers know whether the land is on a split-estate property where drilling can occur. And she said that the Legislature could deal with local control issues as early as this session. At the same time, Carroll acknowledged the political realities associated with the fracking issue. “There’s other things that, for some of us personally or for our districts, would like to see done,” she said. “But like every other bill, it’s a vote countingprocess. “Sometimes what’s popular or unpopular with the public isn’t the same as what’s popular or unpopular with elected officials in the building,” she said. “I think this is a case where there is pent-up frustration for failing to see enough movement (at the Legislature) and I think it’s totally the prerogative of people at the local level to take issues into their own hands.” In the meantime, the fight over fracking continues and both sides are in the process of mapping out their strategies. Schuller urged fracking supporters to be sympathetic to the concerns of those who have doubts about the practice. “My overwhelming message is not about necessarily getting the facts out alone, this is about an empathetic connection, building trust for decades to come,” she said after last month’s forum.

round it. Yes, polls show that most fracking supporters are Republicans and most who oppose the practice are Democrats. However, Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat and a geologist by trade, is a supporter of fracking. Schuller of COGA is a Democrat as well. Then there’s Fort Collins, located in Republican-leaning Larimer County, where voters last year put in place a five-year moratorium on fracking. Hickenlooper’s position on fracking has at times put him at odds with environmental advocates and members of his own party. He and his administration are co-plaintiffs in an oil and gas industry lawsuit against city of Longmont over its recent citizen-driven fracking ban. Hickenlooper’s administration’s position is that state law supersedes municipalities on matters like these. “The main frustration we have with Gov. Hickenlooper is that he has no respect for the fundamental right of democracy for the people of the state,” Wilmeng said. The Legislature has also been criticized by antifracking advocates for not doing enough on the issue. Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, said the Legislature has taken steps to address some of those concerns. She pointed to an increase in the number of well inspectors and said the state has set up infrared cameras meant to detect methane near drill sites. Carroll also mentioned a bill that is making its way

bers shouted questions about the board’s transparency, expressed adoration for Stevenson and eventually chanted to recall Witt, Williams and Newkirk. Due to the crowd at district headquarters, the meeting was quickly relocated to the large meeting room before it began. “It makes me sick to my stomach that we’re losing such a quality leader in the middle of the school year, who already, graciously resigned her position in June,” said Karstin Sutton, an English teacher at Lakewood High School. Following Stevenson’s announcement, the board attempted to resume its scheduled agenda regarding the district budget, but the audience wouldn’t quiet down. Stevenson addressed the audience, and prior to switching topics, board members Lesley Dahlkemper and Jill Fellman expressed concerns about the workings of the new board. “We just found out about this information this morning,” said Dahlkemper. “This is what becomes the headline, and it’s not about the kids, it’s not about our promises as a board or our student achievement, it’s not about ensuring we have a strong, effective leader in place, it’s about backroom discussions.” Witt asked for a recess, and the three newly elected members appeared ready to walk out, but hesitated and, after conferring with legal counsel and security, Witt adjourned the meeting. He immediately left the building with Newkirk. While they packed up, the crowd shouted “Recall, recall, recall,” and “We love you, Cindy.” Williams attempted to console a tearful Stevenson prior to leaving. Witt, Newkirk and Williams were not available for comment after the meeting. “I think it’s political, and he (Witt) wants control of the district, and she (Stevenson) pushes back on it,” Fellman said. “I am a big supporter of Dr. Stevenson. She’s led our district to some great places, and we’re leading the pack, and she led us there.” Stevenson, who has had a long career in Jeffco Schools, including 12 years as superintendent, will be on administrative leave until the details of her termination are finalized. “Please remember, we have a tradition of excellence, and we need to sustain that over the next couple of weeks,” Stevenson said. “It’s not going to be easy, but together we can do it.”
