SUMMER STUDIES

Indian Education program bridges heritage and culture gap By Clarke Reader

creader@colorado communitymedia.com Summer enrichment can sound like a drag, but for participants in Jefferson County’s Indian Education program, it’s an opportunity to get in touch with their

heritage and pride. The two-week program will be at Wheat Ridge 5-8 school for the first two weeks of June and covers all types of activities, from bead work and teepee construction to lacrosse — which is a Native American sport that has been played more than 400 years. “We want to show that traditions and cultures evolve and grow — they have to,” said Thompson Williams, coordinator for Indian Education. Williams said there are around 600 students with a Native American

background in Jeffco this year, but that the Indian Education department needs students to fill out an 506 eligibility form to get the funds to keep the program running through the Title 7 program. The summer program had 25 students from kindergarten through middle school, with high school students who served as mentors to the younger students. “Their exposure to their cultural Studies continues on Page 4

Amenities for 38th streetscape outlined Plan approved by council City staff and Denver-based design and planning firm entelechy, unveiled the streetscape design for 38th Avenue at the June 16 study session. Council decided to move forward with the design. The 38th design stretches east from Upham to Marshall and Newland. The design highlighted amenity zones, seating, parking, street lights and signage on 38th and leading to the corridor from other streets. Deana Swetlik the owner and director of urban design and planning at entelechy presented details on the project. The design includes the installation of new traffic lights with new pedestrian buttons and countdown lights. An information center

and map will be included in the bus stop shelters along 38th. Swetlik said the design would also feature pedestrian-level lighting as well as street lights and would possibly feature artwork on the curbs. The amenity zones will have planters, bicycle racks and outdoor chairs. Swetlik said entelechy decided to go with chairs instead of benches to make it less uncomfortable for people who don’t want to sit on a bench next to a complete stranger. The project also features bulb outs at certain intersections, in which the curb extends further into the street allowing for more amenities such as a group of chairs arranged in a circle for a more intimate setting. The design also allows for business own-

ers to create outdoor cafes and patios for their businesses where space is available. 38th Avenue will allow for on-street parallel parking on both sides of the street from Upham to High Court and then only on the south side of the street east of High Court for 150 feet. The total cost estimates put the project at $9.3 million, with $5.3 million being used on the Upham to Pierce section and $2.7 million used on the stretch from Pierce to Marshall. The remaining $1.3 million will be used for improvements and changes to private property along the corridor. Even though the estimate allocates 30 percent for contingency expenses, District Two Councilman Zachary Urban asserts that the city can’t afford to pay $9 million and even if it did, the project only covers a small portion of 38th avenue. “The design and primarily the price tag associated with it is ludicrous,” Urban said. “$9.3 million, you’re out of your mind. There’s no way that we can afford that. Not to mention if we took that same, let’s create it out of thin air again, the $9.3 million and helped the businesses thrive on the curb in, we’d be a lot further down the road literally than just this tiny block area.” Council elected to move forward with the design with councilman Urban dissenting.

Debates over charters schools and kindergarten funding created tension over the adoption of the 2014-2015 budget. On June 19, the Jefferson County Board of Education majority (John Newkirk, Julie Williams and Ken Witt) voted 3-2 to adopt the $1 billion budget for the 2014-2015 school year. Led by the majority, the board made two key changes, giving an additional $4.8 million to the teacher compensation placeholder and $1.85 million to charter school equalization, prior to adopting the budget. This year, Jeffco’s budget received a 3.2 percent increase from last year’s $952 million. Moving into this next school year, the district will spend nearly $650 million for general fund expenditures and other uses, which is an increase of approximately $25 million from last year. Of that, approximately 79 percent of the general fund is used toward compensation, which with the additional $4.8 million given toward a 2.5 percent step increase for teachers, totals $520,420,700. “They (the board majority) came back on the $18.2 (million) for compensation,” said board member Lesley Dahlkemper on the evening’s budget discussion. “I was ready to make a motion on that placeholder to $18.2, and that’s why it was terrific when Mr. Newkirk brought that forward.” The negotiated agreement between the Jefferson County Educators Association and the district is currently in the fact-finding process. In the agreement, negotiators wanted to see a step increase for all teachers, but the board majority wished to see performance measures applied prior, only offering raises to highly effective teachers. This measure increases the total compensation placeholder to $18.2 million from $13.4 million, which includes step increases for both educators and certified school employees. Along with compensation increases, the majority also proposed increasing charter school funding, increasing per-pupil funding closer to what other students in the district are funded at. For the 2014-2015 school year, charter schools will receive an additional $5.5 million, and more than $60 million in the general fund expenditures overall, an increase of nearly $7 million from the 2013-2014 school year. The board also voted 3-2 to not fund free full-day kindergarten or reduce kindergarten class sizes. The boardmembers said lack of district-specific study on the effects of full-day kindergarten played into their decision. District staff said that the current feasibility of reducing kindergarten class sizes was unknown. Among the charter school equalization and teacher compensation, the board also placed around $3.8 million towards primary math and literacy goals. “I’m delighted that through this year we’ve been able to direct funding towards early literacy, early math, equalization of funding for every student of public schools in Jeffco and I’m delighted with the budget outcome,” Board president Ken Witt said. “It takes a lot of work, it takes impassioned people focusing on what they believe the priorities ought to be and coming together and eventually arriving at the right answers and the right conclusions.”

Ideas to shift early education Over the past two weeks, I’ve started to make the case that, for all the seriousness and drama with which our community seems to be tackling the issue of education reform, we’re really not talking about serious, important reforms. Instead of tackling first principles, and redefining critical parts of what we do, we seem to be caught up in what Elon Musk calls “reasoning by analogy, which essentially means copying what other people do with slight variations.” And that’s fine, I suppose, but it’s not worth all of the angst it has inspired. What would be worth it? Allow me to propose a few radical ideas that, whether you agree with them or not, might actually be worth all the drama. First off, the young mind, and by that I mean pre-adolescent, is an amazing feat of computer engineering. The learning curve on a young brain is hundreds of degrees steeper than our most advanced computer circuits, and yet, we rarely try to accomplish anything with younger students commensurate with their innate potential. Right now, we have a system that is designed for younger students very basic—with rare exceptions, kindergarteners rarely get “specials” (art, music, physical

education: AMP) taught by a qualified specialist; from first through fifth or sixth grade, students only get each AMP the equivalent of every third day; recess and free play are increasingly getting squeezed out of the day; instrumental music is not offered until fifth or sixth grade; foreign languages rarely show up before middle school. What a waste! If we really wanted to build brains, instead of just churning out proficient test-takers, then we really need to look at the younger years differently. • Young students (first-fourth years) should have music every day! And not just because I teach music and it would be great for my profession — I teach music because it is important! The research is voluminous, but let me just highlight

one study out of Beijing (remember the Chinese? the next superpower and all?) as reported in the South China Morning Post: “Early musical training ... changes the brain and these brain changes could lead to cognitive advances ... (Yunxin) Wang found that musical training starting before age seven appeared to thicken areas of the brain involved in language skills and executive function.” That sounds a little like a shortcut to building a better brain. • Youngs should have art every day! In the same way that music rewires the brain, so do the visual arts. One study from Stanford, et al., draws a connection between concentrated time spent on making art and the ability to do mathematical computations. Other studies have linked art and creativity, and art and delayed gratification, which is one of the most important success-builder skills we can impart on students. • Youngs should have physical education every day! Physical activity increases blood flow to the brain, which is good for cognition; it helps clear mental clutter and return the emotions to a state of equilibrium, which are good for academic development; and it’s critical to overall health, which contributes to both physiological and academic growth. If it were me, I’d

prescribe martial arts for everyone, but I’m flexible ... some might prefer to dance. • Youngs should be taught a foreign language from the moment they step into a school. The pre-adolescent proclivity for language acquisition is well-documented. But, setting aside the utility of knowing a second language, learning a second language while getting command of the first (presumably, English) does nothing but strengthen the language centers of the brain, which has far-reaching benefits to students. Do you notice anything about the first four ideas I’ve laid out? None of those subjects are tested currently, which means that none of them are really valued in our system of education. And yet the documentation of the benefits of all of these is incontrovertible. So if we’re going to have knock-down, drag-out fights over education reform, then let’s start to talk about actual reforms, and stop getting so fired up about analogous tweaks.

Hickenlooper’s gun comments spark firestorm By Vic Vela

vvela@colorado communitymedia.com Gun control advocates say they were not taken aback by comments from Gov. John Hickenlooper that initially indicated a backpeddling of support for a key piece of gun legislation enacted last year. “Words are one thing, but I’m actionbased,” said Tom Sullivan, whose son Alex was killed in the July 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting. “In the signing of the gun bills last year, the actions of the governor showed me exactly where he is on this – that he’s firmly with us on common sense laws.” But others point to Hickenlooper’s recent remarks to a group of sheriffs – followed by an interview in which he sought to clarify those comments – as an example of failed leadership. “We don’t need excuses, and we don’t different versions of the story,” said Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker. “I don’t need apologies. I need a new governor.” The governor created a media firestorm after he acknowledged to a group of county sheriffs who were meeting in Aspen on June 13 that he had been conflicted about signing a law that placed bans on high-capacity ammunition magazines. Hickenlooper told the sheriffs that he

signed the legislation – which banned the sale of magazines that hold more than 15 rounds – after a member of his “staff made a commitment” to signing it, according to video footage of the governor’s comments, which were obtained by the conservative website, Revealing Politics. The governor also said that he did not speak with former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg – a key financial backer of gun control measures – about the legislation. But phone records obtained by other media outlets show that calls between the two did in fact take place. A week after the fallout over his remarks, Hickenlooper clarified his comments and reaffirmed his commitment to the legislation. “If we went through the process again, I’d sign it again,” he told KDVR in an interview that aired on June 20. Hickenlooper also said in the interview that he made the decision to sign the legislation more than a month before the bill reached his desk, and he acknowledged that he did speak with Bloomberg, but only after the governor’s mind was made up. Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, who sponsored the legislation in the House, told Colorado Community Media that she received no assurances from the governor’s

Grosso said. “I would think testimony from law enforcement along with thousands of protesters and hundreds of thousands of emails would have shown Governor Hickenlooper these gun control bills were controversial.” Holbert, who is leaving the House to run for a state Senate seat, sponsored the repeal effort in the House this year. He believes that Hickenlooper, who is running for reelection this year, has hurt himself on this issue many times and that it will cost him, politically. “There are now two or three versions of this story,” Holbert said. “But who made decision? Did the governor make a decision as a leader or was it a staffer? Is he beholden to a staffer? And who is this staffer? “No one could have hurt John Hickenlooper more than John Hickenlooper.” But what happened last week was just all noise according to key gun control supporters. “He signed the bills into the law, and since that time it has saved lives,” Sullivan said. “I don’t see any of these (gun laws) as road blocks. I see them as see them as speed bumps, to slow the process down a little, to make us safer in a common-sense way.”

office that he was planning on signing her bill. “I never had any assurance that my bills would pass,” she said. “It’s just too much of a sensitive issue for someone to make that kind of declaration.” Fields said she has been “pleased with what the governor has done to pass these measures” and that she’s not concerned with the events from last week. “My reaction overall is that I’m really proud of the work we’ve been able to achieve in Colorado in regard to gun safety measures,” Fields said. “We’re setting the tone for what other states are doing on this issue and the measures we took were very common sense.” Republicans don’t think that’s the case at all. Not a single Republican voted for the magazine ban at the Legislature in 2013. This year, they unsuccessfully failed to repeal that and a separate law that created universal background checks on gun sales. House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, took issue with Hickenlooper telling county sheriffs that he had no idea that the bills would be so controversial. “Prior to his signature, there were hundreds of people including sheriffs from around the state testifying at the Capitol in opposition to these gun control bills,” Del-

Slavsky recognized by CACP Lead investigator on Meyer case named officer of the year By Clarke Reader

creader@colorado communitymedia.com The investigation of the Leann “Annie” Meyer was a big case for Wheat Ridge police, and the lead investigator has been recognized by the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) for his work. Detective Mark Slavsky was awarded the Officer of the Year award at a ceremony on June 12. “This department prides itself on our team work and professionalism and Detective Slavsky really embodies that,” said John Romero, public information officer with the department. “We have exceptional people providing exceptional service.” The CACP Police Officer of the Year Award is given for exceptional achievement in any police endeavor, either on-duty or off-duty, including extraordinary valor, crime prevention, investigative work, community policing, traffic safety, drug control and prevention, juvenile programs and training programs.

Slavsky said that he was nominated for the award by chief Dan Brennan, and was very surprised by the recognition. “There are so many deserving people and it is quite an honor to receive this,” Slavsky said. “The award is presented to an individual, but the case was the result of a huge amount of teamwork.” Slavsky was assigned to the case in March 2013, eventually leading to the arrest and prosecution of Meyer’s roommate for her murder by November. The judge in the case went on record praising the work that was done by Wheat Ridge police and especially, Slavsky. In November, Melissa Miller — Meyer’s former lover — pleaded guilty to seconddegree murder and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Court documents showed that they two argued about yard work during a trip through Park County, before Miller took a walking stick and struck her former partner in the head and leaving her for dead. Meyer, 51, was a Minnesota native who once served in the Air Force before becoming a bank technology expert in Colorado. “We may be a small jurisdiction but we have the best cops around,” Romero said.

Current Surge in Home Prices Will Impact Residential Property Taxes in 2015 By JIM SMITH, Realtor ® June 30th of every even numbered year is a key date for county assessors, because the value of homes on that date determines the taxable valuation of all homes for the following two calendar years. The taxes for this year are actually based on what your home would have sold for on June 30, 2012, determined from sales during the 24 months prior to that date. Our taxes didn’t increase much or at all for the past two years because homes had mostly lost value during the 24 months leading up to that date. This year, however, is a different matter. The increase in home prices has been dramatic this year throughout Jefferson County, and the result will inevitably be much higher taxes on your home for the next two years — a real windfall for taxing jurisdictions without any increase in their mill levies. That’s because no restriction is placed on how much your taxes can increase based on the value of

your home. The mill levy — which is subject to voter approval — can stay exactly the same and your taxes can rise dramatically. The valuation software employed by the county assessors looks at sales over the prior 24 months and “ages” those sales to come up with a valuation as of June 30th of this year. For example, let’s say that a comparable home to yours sold a year ago for $200,000. The computer would calculate the increase in valuation for all homes during the last 12 months and change that comparable valuation, say, to $210,000 or even more when calculating what your home might have sold for on June 30, 2014. We are blessed that our property taxes for residential properties are so low in Colorado. People who relocate to our state from, say, Texas, are surprised and delighted at how low our property taxes are here. In Texas, there is no income tax and people think that’s terrific, but governments cost

money, and what Texans save on income tax has to be made up for in other ways. A common misperception about property taxes is that incorporated cities have higher property taxes than unincorporated areas, but the opposite is the case. The City of Golden, for example, has a mill levy of only 12.34 mills. That covers police, fire, parks & recreation, and more. Just east of the city limits, homes in unincorporated Jeffco pay 13.63 mills for the West Metro Fire Protection District alone, another 3.2 mills for police protection, and another 10.9 mills for parks, water and sanitation. That’s a huge difference.

Fireworks use reminder from sheriff ’s office Staff Report The Fourth of July holiday is one week away and fire restrictions have been lifted in Jefferson County. As a reminder, any device that explodes or leaves the ground is illegal in Colorado which includes firecrackers, cherry bombs, bottle rockets, M-80’s and Roman candles. All fireworks are prohibited in Jeffco Open Space Parks, Denver Mountain Parks and Forest Service lands. While unincorporated Jeffco as well as cities may allow for the use of sparklers, smoke devices, cone fountains and glow worms; other cities like Golden have banned the use of these types of fireworks. “While they might seem benign, there are injuries that can happen,” said Jerry Stricker, fire marshal for the City of Golden Fire Department.

In 2012, U.S. hospital emergency rooms treated around 8,700 people for fireworksrelated injuries, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Nearly three out of five of those injuries were burns, while 30 percent of the people seen were under the age of 15. The association also reported that the holiday accounts for two out of five of all reported fires, more than any other cause of fire. In 2011, fireworks caused an estimated 17,800 reported fires, including 1,200 structure fires, 400 vehicle fires, and 16,300 outside fires and others. The Jeffco Sheriff’s Office released an announcement stating that deputies will strictly enforce illegal fireworks violations in unincorporated areas of the county. Any person caught selling, possessing or using illegal fireworks commits a class three misdemeanor and may face a fine of up to $750.

Taking action against insect emerald ash borer City treats local Ash By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communtiymedia.com The city has finished their treatments of ash trees for the season in preparation of a possible spread of the emerald ash borer, an invasive insect native to Asia. Sinche May 1 the city treated 250 public ash trees including another 75 which were tended by maintenance at the Colorado School of Mines campus. Golden has approximately 15,000 ash trees, 10 percent of them public, according to Dave High, city forester with the city of Golden. Since its appearance in Boulder in September 2013, the emerald ash borer has

caught the attention of officials, scientists and arborists alike who are helping to spread the word about the potential danger the emerald ash borer has on Ash trees. “Once an exotic pest comes in and it doesn’t have the natural controls like it does in its native environment, they run kind of wild, there’s not much that slows them down or stops them,” said Derek Fox, district manager and certified arborist for the Davey Tree Expert Company. Already, the EAB has killed millions of Ash trees in the U.S., Fox said. The Colorado Department of Agriculture estimates that ash found in the urban forest accounts for 15 percent of the tree canopy. “The larva of the insect is what does the most damage,” Fox explained. “When the larva feed they feed just under the bark of

the tree,” he said. “Basically, what that does is it girdles the tree just under the bark and essentially shuts down the tree’s vascular system.” Once the larva has grown to adult beetles they emerge in the spring leaving behind a “D” shaped exit hole. It can take three to five years before noticing the decline and death of the tree which means the EAB can feed for that long before being noticed. But it isn’t all doom and gloom for Ash trees or for the homeowners who may have one on their property. Experts recommend the best defense against the destructive EAB is preventive measures like the ones the city of Golden is undertaking. Tree care companies, like Davey Tree Expert Company, provides treatment services for landowners with

Ash, as well as sampling services for curious tree owners who wonder if their Ash have already been affected. In the meantime, The Colorado Department of Agriculture has quarantined Boulder County and the entire town of Erie’s firewood, chips, mulch and other woodlike scraps and lumber in an effort to contain the EAB from spreading, the state department of agriculture reported. “If another year goes by and we don’t see the emerald ash borer in the City of Golden we may have to rethink our recommendations,” said Dave High, city forestry manager. There are many resources for anyone interested in protecting or finding out more about their ash tree. More information about the EAB can be found online at eab.colorado.com.

which helped a lot.” One of the activities that students participated in this year was Native American games, particularly Alaskan tribes. Williams said the students not only learned how the games are played but the kind of skills they teach, like hunting. “We want our students to take pride in their culture, and there are so many ways that these skills be utilized in academics,”

he said. “In bead work, you need to understand mathematics to make sure the designs come out right.” Williams also said that the students heard a presentation on the culture’s history with music and dances, which lead to a discussion on poetry and storytelling. When it comes to getting students to participate in these kinds of programs — as well as those that happen during the school

year — Williams said that students may feel

they don’t have enough of a connection or knowledge of their history to participate. “The students don’t have to be in a tribal role or anything like that,” he said. “There is a lot of knowledge about the culture to share, and we have to expand that history to our modern lives.”

Making homes accessible again Man benefits from volunteer based organization By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com It was a routine bike ride through Red Rocks Park in August of 2013. Stewart Podolsky, 60, of Golden, cycled down the hill from the amphitheater toward Trading Post Road, a familiar path that he took at least once a week. But this time, his usual ride would meet an end that was far from his anticipation. “A car pulled out in front of me from the stop sign,” Podolsky said. “I tried to swerve to avoid it but I still hit the front end of the car and flew over it.” The encounter would leave Podolsky with a broken neck. Doctors determined the accident left him an incomplete quadriplegic, which means he still has some sensations. He has recovered most of his motor functions and is learning to walk again, although he will always need assistance with the use of crutches. “It’s just changed our life completely,” said Stewart’s wife, Katie Podolsky. One of the biggest impacts has been on the Podolsky’s finances. Home renovations were a must in order to accommodate Stewart’s accessibility with a wheelchair which included widening doorways. Most of the home’s flooring is hardwood but the kitchen floor along with the living area which is carpeted needs to be removed so Stewart can get around easier. With money being so tight, Podolsky’s learned about

the Home Builders Foundation or HBF, a Denver based nonprofit which provides home modifications at no cost related to accessibility for individuals with disabilities in need of financial assistance. For the last 21 years, the foundation has established close partnerships with home builders and gained a strong following from volunteers. “The success of the HBF is credited to the volunteers and supporters who believe in the work that we do to change lives and bring independence home to our recipients,” Beth Forbes, executive director of HBD said. “Simply put, without these volunteers and supporters we could not do what we do.” HBF operates in eight counties in the Denver area and receives seven to 10 applications a month, Forbes said. “I work with the most amazing staff and volunteers,” she said. “We maintain a grassroots feel which also means I get to interact with the recipients, which is incredible. It’s so rewarding to get to know them from as early on as the application, walk them through the process and then have it come full circle with a modification that’s going to immediately and forever impact their lives.” For the Podolsky’s, they couldn’t be more grateful of organizations like HBF who have helped assist them in their situation. Last week, the Podolsky’s received new flooring in their kitchen and the carpet in the living area was torn out as well. “They’re a fabulous organization,” said Katie Podolsky. “We’re so appreciative.” Before his accident, Stewart was not only active in cycling but also cross-country skiing, hiking and weight training. His

Proceeds will not only benefit Craig’s Neuro Recovery Network but also Team Reeve, an active fundraiser through the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. Craig will be one of 12 hospitals across the country participating with the event starting on Friday, July 18, at 6 p.m. to Saturday, July 19, at 6 p.m. in the Craig Hospital PEAK

TESTING TESTS

New state standardized tests cause concerns in Jeffco By Amy Woodward and Crystal Anderson

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com and canderson@colorado communitymedia.com New approaches to standardized testing in Colorado have ample support, but the implementation and volume of the new system raise concerns among some parents and teachers throughout Jefferson County. This academic year, Colorado educators have been instructed to use two new state assessments to measure students abilities in language arts, mathematics, social stud-

ies and science. The Partnerships for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC assessment, in conjunction with the Colorado Measures of Academic Success assessment are now administered annually, replacing the former Transitional Colorado Assessment Program tests. “When we started getting the actual requirements for the PARCC … and realized what it had done with the school year is when we became very alarmed and felt like it was most likely an unintended consequence of a well-intentioned program,” said Phil Romig, parent and co-chair of the Manning Partnership Committee at Manning Middle School in Golden. “For all practical purposes that means that as a result of these tests, education stops end of March for the year.” In Jefferson County, students will test around 10 to 20 hours for the PARCC as-

sessment alone, varying in number based on school, age and levels. Testing will begin March 9 and conclude May 22. For middle schools like Manning, it will take their students an estimated 28 hours to complete the PARCC assessment over 47 days. In 2010, the Colorado legislature voted to change the state’s academic standards, requiring schools to implement new standards, or Common Core, and participate in a new form of standardized testing. “Our learning standards were almost 20 years old,” said Amy Skinner, communications director for the CDE. “It was more than time to improve those standards.” Those updated standards have been viewed as potentially new burdens by some educators though. In a given school year, Jeffco students will additionally be expected to take a separate state assessment, named Acuity, which measures student progress and preparation for CMAS. “If we have the students complete all three Acuity (tests), then seventh-grade students will lose a total of 660 minutes, or 11 hours of instruction and eighth-grade students will lose 770 minutes, or 12.8 hours of instructional time,” Manning Principal Barbara Goings-Bares said. That could leave Jeffco eighth-graders spending more than 40 hours of the school year testing, instead of learning. Unlike past assessments, PARCC will be given completely online, which means schools will have to work with their given resources as they shuffle around instruction time and schedules to accommodate each student. Manning has a total of 60 computers and more than 400 students, for them, the assessments will be given in two blocks with 120 students split into groups of 60 to take one test per day as mandated by the state. The Manning Partnership Committee plans on sending a letter to Gov. Hickenlooper requesting that he ask the Colorado Department of Education to review PARCC. Romig stated he would like the citizens of Jefferson County to do the same. “I would like the CDE to sit down with PARCC and discuss the concerns and the problems and have an honest and open discussion as to whether PARCC can be fixed to work, or if there are perfectly legitimately reasons as to why it has to be this way,” Romig said. During the 2013 legislative session, the CDE was required to join one of two assessment consortiums, ultimately choosing PARCC. According to the CDE Communications Director, Amy Skinner, teachers, assessment contractors and Colorado educators began to work together to create the PARCC test, but the time students test in a year varies by district. Currently, the CDE contracted WestEd,

a California-based educational nonprofit, to perform a study regarding the amount of time students in the state spend testing, and the efficacy of the tests. According to Skinner, this study will help the CDE gain input and data to help decide if future legislative actions need to be made moving forward. In April of this year, Paul Lundeen, chair of the state board of education said he would ask his colleagues to vote on a resolution requesting legislators repeal the statute instituting PARCC. It was later killed in committee as it would interrupt the testing programs already implemented across the state. “Well I find it interesting with the state board of education, they’re the ones who have really led in this, and to a large degree have lead in this area of accountability and testing and they have previously voted to be part of the consortium and to implement PARCC,” said Colorado Sen. Andy Kerr, DLakewood. “I just find it interesting when the political winds shift a little bit that all of a sudden they changed 180 degrees.” Kerr supported PARCC but said legislators were not presented with a testing schedule at the time of their vote. “I do think the authority we’ve given the state board of education that they overstepped it and created too much testing out there,” he said. “What we need to do is we need to listen to our teachers, we need to listen to our parents, we need to listen to the educational professionals and how the accountability system that we put out there is impacting our kids in the classroom right now.” After hearing from her constituents, Jeffco Board of Education member, Lesley Dahlkemper, said the new assessments need to align with standards, but the district needs to be conscious about those concerns. “As a board we have to listen to what our community is saying and then we need to take a hard look at if we’re balanced in our approach to assessments, because there is an important role for assessments,” Dahlkemper said. “I will tell you as a mom of a fifthgrader I want to know how my daughter is doing in writing and reading and math and I don’t want any surprises when she gets to high school and graduates.” The impact on students is exactly what Arvada-area parent Shawna Fritzler and her daughter, Morgan, a gifted and talented student, are concerned with. “The state test doesn’t tell me about my individual child, it’s a snapshot of some data points,” Fritzler said. “You don’t need that much data on our kids or test scores, and that really shouldn’t be where the focus is. Giving the teachers the tools in the classrooms to really move those students; they need instructional time with their students. It’s a huge disservice when you take that much time away from kids.”

walking her dog, who was aware that the Robinson was being sought. The woman declined to have her name released. Robinson still had broken handcuffs and shackles when he was arrested. Wheat Ridge Police Department expressed thanks to the U.S. Marshals Violent Offender Task Force, Robinson Denver Sheriff’s Office, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Arvada police, and Madison County (Illinois) Sheriff’s Office. Police searched the suspect’s escape path to determine if any further crimes had been committed.

The Jefferson County Board of Education voted on the following legislation at its special meeting June 19. Board members in attendance were President Ken Witt, First Vice President Julie Williams, Second Vice President Lesley Dahlkemper, Secretary John Newkirk and Treasurer Jill Fellman.

2014-2015 budget

The board voted 3-2 (Newkirk, Williams, Witt) to adopt the 2014-2015 budget. During the public hearing, the board heard concerns surrounding teacher compensation, free full-day kindergarten, responsible board practices and transparency. During their discussion, the board voted 3-2 (Newkirk Williams, Witt) to not fund free, full-day kindergarten and to increase charter school funding by $1.85 million, making the charter school placeholder $5.5 million. Ultimately, the district will give more than $60 million to charter schools this budget cycle.

Choice steering committee

The board heard an update from the Choice Steering Committee regarding the final recommendations for the district’s Choice Enrollment program. The 32-member committee spent the last school year devising eight recommendations surrounding the district’s choice enrollment program, to help implement and encourage choice in a logical and efficient way. During this meeting, the committee covered the final four of its recommendations to the board. The implementation of an online enrollment system; enhancing district’s systems and structures to monitor and share the efficacy of the program and its outcomes; better communication surrounding transportation and enforcement and transparency surrounding the choice policies, ensuring choice students stay at their chosen school.

Fourth of July a celebration of place Nearly every weekend of my childhood in grade-school days found my sister and me (and sometimes a passel of playmates) bouncing around in the back of our family’s rusting white Jeep Cherokee, choking through the midsummer dust from the washer-board road on our way up the Silver Lakes in the San Juan Mountains of Southern Colorado. One of these pals told me recently that she and her husband chose their mountain home-on-the-lake because of what she remembers about our cabin, which catapulted me back into my own memories of spending the Fourth of July at Sliver Lakes. The recollections I have about Silver Lakes are tinged with joy, wonder, surprise, and sometimes even terror: … clambering around on moss-covered boulders at lake’s edge to pick tiny sweet wild raspberries from the prickly bushes.

… running down the narrow two-track road on the high side of Lake 2 to the ancient tire swing that hanged from a huge Ponderosa pine out from the precipice of the road. Tripping on my feet and going down hard, gouging both knees on the hard sharp pointed edges of the graywhite shale placed on the road to keep it

Tune in to major life lesson from television Now, I am not typically a huge fan of TV shows. Maybe I should say it differently: My preference has always been to read when I have downtime, or write, or just take some quiet time instead of watching TV. And I would say that for most of my adult life that has been consistent. Of course, there are the exceptions to the rule, such as the Weather Channel, where Jim Cantore has been bringing great stories and keeps us hanging on the edge of our seats with his live action shots for so many years. Then there is the Discovery Channel, and really, what is better than shows about Vikings or Shark Week? And I love local news broadcasts and catching up on everything that is happening locally and around the world. Lastly, I enjoy having baseball on in the background as I read or write — I love the game and will

watch or listen to almost any game that may be on. This past year, I have been introduced to a few programs such as “Person of Interest,” “The Good Wife,” and “24.” For this column I wanted to focus on the last one, Norton continues on Page 11


Wheat Ridge Transcript 11

June 26, 2014

Push past your fears—get out there In my twenties I used to be a brave person who took lots of risks — I rode in rodeos, rock climbed, and hitchhiked in foreign countries. The physical vibrancy of youth gave me extra confidence. But at the age of 34 I gave birth to my daughter and then my son at 37, and stopped taking unnecessary risks. As the years went by one day I looked at myself in the mirror and said, “You’ve turned into a wimp, Mary. All you do is make meals, take care of kids, clean the house, and write.” And now as I look at my life spending hours at the computer writing, I miss the excitement of adventure. Up until last August I did still ride my bike around the neighborhood, but then after my bike accident, I had months of rehab. After I healed I decided I’d better do some traveling while I still could, see the world before it was too late. Traveling offered a chance to take risks again like when I was younger, because it involves possible threats — plane crashes, terrorist attacks, and bizarre illnesses. The literature from Cosmos Tours that came before my recent trip to Munich, Vienna, Budapest and Prague warned of pickpockets and suggested a money-belt to wear

from washing away. … skirting the edge of the lake to reach the almost impossibly tall log, polished from years of our scooting across it to avoid the trek through the marshy muddy part of the shore on the creepy end of Lake 2 – the small shallow end that turned away from the cabins to hide its ankle-clutching weeds and mossy murky surface – to arrive safely on the other side. … tubing in the winter down the open slope beside our cabin, first trudging up through snow tall as the tops of our windows, then flying down inside big squishy inner tubes with our black Lab flailing along beside us, barking and biting at our boots and hats, and who once lashed onto my streaming hair and dragged me shrieking out onto the frozen lake in all her flopping gangling Labrador triumph. … venturing down to Lake 4, where there were no boats, no fishing docks, no cabins, and virtually no trail, where fringed creaking pines hung over the lake with branches extended into the darkened water, and

“24.” If you are familiar with the premise, you understand that every show for the entire season happens one hour at a time. Meaning it can start at 4 p.m. and every event that takes place during that show will be completed by 5 p.m. Each episode, tons of action and loaded with drama, all takes place each week within 60 minutes. So as I watched the most recent intense, action-packed and drama-filled one hour of Jack Bauer’s life on “24,” I was caught up in thinking about a program based on a philosophy that Zig Ziglar used to promote and embody himself, the idea of being a 24 Hour Champion. So what does that mean? Zig would remind us that we are not just eight- to 10hour per day employees or business people: We are moms and dads, we are community volunteers, we are part of groups and associations, and we have our circles of friends. So it’s not just about what we do to earn a living or support our family, it’s about who we are in each hour of each 24-hour day we are blessed enough to spend here on earth. How do we do this? We have to focus on our self-confidence and healthy self-image; we have to maintain a positive attitude; we have to build and develop relationships at home and at work; we have to set goals and pursue those goals; and we have to live with hope. Now back to why this resonated with me during a recent viewing of a television

beneath my pants. I chose instead a small cross body purse with three zippers from Eddie Bauer. But I kept my eyes open for pickpockets and groups of gypsies who might surround me. Because I took the risk of traveling to unfamiliar countries, where many people don’t speak English, I had experiences that raised me out of wimpiness. I took the subway in Prague, Czech Repulic by myself. The key to my success was asking help from strangers. A young Czech man showed me how to buy the ticket, and which train to get on to go downtown. What he didn’t tell me was where to validate the ticket before I got on so the fare police wouldn’t bust me. The police didn’t catch me but did catch my cousin who

deadfall — silent as the dawn — monitored our tentative progress. Unknown and unseen creatures rustled in the heavily wooded sides of the trail, sending us scrambling over menacing roots and through the brambly thickets back up to the familiar safety of Lake 3, where we arrived gasping with burning lungs and proud of our efforts. I visited my friend’s mountain home last summer, writing quietly on her dock as she walked her own black Lab beside the lake. I remembered catching my first fish from a dock not unlike that one, dragging up onto the shore a sparkling rainbow trout so big the entire yellow-reed fishing pole I was holding high above my head for a photo was completely bent in its own arch so the tip of the pole touched the ground. For me, the Fourth of July – a celebration of our nation’s birth – is also a celebration of place, a celebration of memories, and a celebration of childhood in the mountains of Colorado. Andrea Doray is a writer who loves to fish, and who prefers to use a spinner while her mom was content to wait for that red-andwhite bobber to dip under the smooth surface of the lake. Contact Andrea at a.doray@ andreadoray.com. program. The concept in the show “24” is that we see everything that is going on in a window of 60 minutes. So I thought about if someone was viewing my efforts, actions, words and, yes, even drama, would they see someone who is caught up in the moment or would they see someone who is maximizing each minute of each hour to work on mind, body, and spirit? As much as we believe we are not in control of our time or maybe even question our control over our own future, it really is in our grasp to live the life we want to live. When we live as 24 Hour Champions we are truly set up and empowered to succeed. Becoming a 24 Hour Champion does not mean we are awake for 24 hours. What it means is that we stay well-rested, work hard, play hard, volunteer when and where we can, laugh hard, learn hard, and love even harder than everything mentioned above. We, not anyone else, we alone are responsible for how we see ourselves and attempt to live up to becoming a 24 Hour Champion based on how we treat our minds, our bodies, and our spirits. I would love to know more about your own 24 Hour Champion efforts, and I would love to share more about the concept with you if you would send me an email at gotonorton@gmail.com. When we aspire to be better than good, it really will be a better than good week.

went on another train. She got charged the equivalent of 30 dollars and was upset. I don’t blame her. Because of her nasty experience in Prague, I had to practically drag her onto the tram in Vienna. We managed to get our tickets validated in the machine on the tram. I loved traveling on public transportation on this trip, it made me feel empowered, not having to deal with a car, and mingling with the locals. In Vienna I observed a baby strapped against her mother’s front side by cloth ties, so the baby lay against Mom’s chest and could look up into Mama’s eyes. Smart European women! I took the risk to navigate unfamiliar places alone like Margaret’s Island in Budapest. Joggers ran past me, but I felt safe on the dirt trails through the trees and gardens. But getting out on my own I discovered the magical fountain in the center of the island that reminded me of Bellagio in Las Vegas. If I’d played it safe I wouldn’t have seen this. In Vienna the local guide talked about the opera and said she went three or four times a week. She changed into her opera clothes in the middle of the city tour. So I

took the risk of heading for the Vienna Opera on my free day. I searched for someone outside the Opera House selling tickets to the sold out show of Mozart’s Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute.) Five minutes before show time a man sold me a 32.00 ticket which got me into the top level seating section. Ha, me a cowgirl from Colorado at the opera in Vienna, Austria. Wow. Great show. Since I’ve returned home (Friends and family were relieved to see me home alive) I have one thing to tell any timid readers especially the older ones like me. Get out there and take some risks. If traveling entices you, go for it! When you accomplish new things, it makes you feel great and makes life worth living. Mary McFerren Stobie has decided now that her kids are raised she can start taking risks again. Just yesterday she went down the high waterslide with her four-year-old grandson at Wheat Ridge Recreation Center. She’s still working on her memoir at her computer, but doesn’t stay there all day, because that would be too safe.

OBITUARIES RUSh

Anita K. “Hill” Rush

April 15, 1954 – June 10, 2014

Anita passed away on June 10, 2014 at the Platte Valley Medical Center in Brighton, Colorado, following an extensive period of painful and debilitating medical conditions. She was 60 years old. Anita was born on April 14, 1954 in Kremmling, Colorado. She is survived by her husband, Mark W. Rush, of Lochbuie, Colorado, her parents, Virgil and Shirley Hill, of Golden, Colorado, two sisters, Linda Angell of Golden, and Patricia Hill, of Lakewood, Colorado and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her younger sister, Nancy Whitman

Thomas, who passed away on January 19, 2003. She grew up in the Golden area, attending Maple Grove Elementary and Manning Junior High, both in Applewood, and graduated from Golden Senior High School in 1972. She enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1982, and received an early Honorable Discharge in 1984, partially due to some of her medical disabilities. In recent years, she was a frequent patient at the V.A.

Medical Center in Denver, Colorado. She and her longtime friend, Mark Rush, were married on May 1, 2006 and purchased a home in Lochbuie, Colorado, with hopes of returning to the Golden area one day. Although Anita was quite adventuresome, she did love such simple things as good music, the Colorado mountains, and a good dog. She will be greatly missed. Anita was cremated and there will be an informal “Celebration of Life” gathering of family and friends at the VFW Post 4171 in Golden, on June 29, 2014 at 2:00 p.m.

Sandra Crane Whitman May 15, 1940 – May 20, 2014

Sandra was born on May 15, 1940, the second child of Arthur Eaton Crane and Cooley Graves Crane. She passed on May 20, 2014 at the age of 74. Her home town was Dalton, MA, where she attended grade school through the sixth grade, at which point she spent her junior high school period at Emma Willard in Troy, NY. Her high school period was spent at St. Timothy’s in Maryland, where she excelled as a student. This was exhibited by her being designated a Merit Scholar for her college boards, and her acceptance at Radcliffe, now Harvard. She met her husband, Walter Whitman, at age 14 at Morewood Lake in the Pittsfield Country Club, where he was a Life Guard that summer. They were married when she was 20, on June 10, 1960. She then transferred to Cornell, where her husband was

earning his degrees and she graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Arts with a major in mathematics. She had three children with Walter: Robert, James and John, which resulted in three grandchildren; Robert’s daughter, Kelly and John and Laura’s children, Rebecca and Grant. Sandra spent a traumatic 25 years caring for her second son, ending with a liver transplant. During James’s illness, they took their sons out of school for a year to travel around the world, first, primarily the South Pacific and then most of Western Europe. Sandra was an avid knitter and sewer. She not merely made many of her own clothes but sewed professionally for a Marimekko fabric store, making them dresses out of that material which is singularly challenging, due to its large patterns.

Sandra had a wonderful ability to visualize patterns and shapes. Sandra always enjoyed the wilderness with its flora and fauna, leading us to many weeks in the deep wilderness of such as the Gila National Forest, with weighty backpacks (wet foods and a dollop or two of wine). She also chose the setting of 5 acres for our home, studded with fir and ponderosa pine, one half mile above Denver for similar reasons of wildlife. Sandra was invariably stoic throughout the ravages of her year and a half of Chemo Therapy. However, she was sentient to the last, when she lapsed into a coma. Sandra with her husband, sons and granddaughter, Kelly had a Last Supper together circa three days before she passed. Sandra will be desperately and lovingly missed by her family, including her two German Shepherds.

We don’t usually examine how we could be happier. We tend to look at how we can experience more pleasure. So we lust for a nicer car, a bigger home, flashier jewelry, more fashionable clothes, more entertainment, a bigger TV and more expensive toys, to name a few. If you were willing to pay close attention to how all of this makes you feel, you may notice that you spend endless hours pursuing goals or paying for dreams that only wind up bringing you short-lived fleeting pleasure. After a while, you get used to wearing fancier clothes or driving the nicer car, and then you yearn after something else, something additional or novel that will fulfill you and make you feel more complete. Or, you wind up working more and more at a job you may not enjoy in order to pay for all these pleasures, which of course can conversely make you very unhappy. We are so attached to running around this gerbil wheel that we defend our “right” to be unhappy, frustrated and chronically unfulfilled. Be happy before I lose weight? Feel better before I find — or create — the relationship I want? Be content before I make more money? Feel fulfilled before my kid straightens up? Are you crazy? Why would I want to feel good before I get my life better? The following is a set of questions for you to consider — and suggestions about how you could reasonably get off this gerbil wheel, and give yourself the opportunity to find a greater sense of happiness, contentment and peace of mind. When we focus on what we have, on what we’re grateful or appreciative of in our lives, we’re happier. When we focus on what we don’t have, we’re not. The choice, then, seems obvious: put our attention on what we have, what we feel gratitude about and what we’re striving for, and to cease focusing on the hurts, the failures and the various bummers that we occasionally experience. What’s good about your life right now? In which ways are you actually living the dream? What makes you

joyous? Think long and hard on this question. Your answers may not be what you think they are. How could you add more fun to your life? Could you define what things are fun for you? What new things might you add to your life that would be interesting and challenging? Are you doing anything to be self-destructive—or are you sabotaging any of your long range goals? Are you frittering away too much of your time? If so, what would assist you in changing these behaviors? If you don’t change these dynamics, you will have regrets about this later on. What gives you a sense of purpose—personally and professionally? Finding purpose in what you’re doing is one of the keys to feeling content with your life. To find a greater sense of purpose, make a list of everything you would like to accomplish or experience before you die, and then create a plan for how to make those goals come true. What gives you a feeling of thankfulness and gratitude? What people, achievements, experiences, relationships or events are you the most appreciative of or grateful for? Next week: more suggestions on creating happiness and greater peace of mind. Neil Rosenthal is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Westminster and Boulder, Colorado.

West Metrolife Glass artist is man of darn few words

Arvada Center makes use of space By Clarke Reader

creader@colorado communitymedia.com Drive past the Arvada Center and something new will immediately stand out. The 17-acre field just to the south of the center is now full of 27 sculptures from 15 different Colorado artists, varying in size, style and design. Presented in partnership with the Museum of Outdoor Arts and Exempla Lutheran, “Unbound: Sculpture in the Field” will be on display in the field at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through September 2015. Participating artists include Vanessa Clarke, Emmett Culligan, John Ferguson, Sonja Hinrichsen, Erick C. Johnson, Andy Libertone, Nancy Lovendahl, Robert Mangold, Patrick Marold, Dave Mazza, Andy Miller, Charles Parson, Carl Reed, Joe Riche, Kevin Robb and Bill Vielehr. “This is the best round of exhibits ever,” said curator Collin Parson. “It all started with the field — it’s been empty for years, and we wanted to explore the idea of how we can change that.” Parson said that the idea be-

hind the sculptures was to get a sense of what the field would look like in the future, and from there a partnership with the Museum of Outdoor Arts. “This is a great collaboration, and we’ve worked with several of these artists before,” said Cynthia Madden Leitner, president and executive director of the museum. “I saw understood Collin’s vision and saw the potential to attract people to the center.” The materials the sculptures are made from range from metal and wood to stone, all in modern style. Most are abstract and stand out in the field. The tallest of the works are 25-feet high. “We grouped the artists together to create some continuity,” said Parson. “With our artists we almost have several generations of artists.” Since the sculptures are made of such a variety of materials, setting each one up required different tools. Some were installed with just a few pairs of hands and a ladder or two, but others required some heavy duty machinery. “The City of Arvada has been great in helping us out with whatever we need,” Parson said. Parson said that the sculptures are meant to be experience in a tactile way, and so visitors are encouraged to get up close and touch them and move around

They should not be climbed on, however. The sculptures definitely change the space around them and enhances the overall view of the kind of spaces the center can offer. “No other arts center has the kind of area and openness like this,” said artist Charles Parson. “It’s that western expanse that is so unique.” Charles added that the community creative energy that has been unleashed in setting up the sculptures has been a huge boon for everyone involved. “Everyone has been here early and wanted to be here,” he said. “This is what we live to do.” The hope is that Sculptures in the Field will not only inspire Arvada residents, but everyone who would like to see more public works. “When people see what can be, I think they’ll want bigger and better,” said Leitner. “We need more sculpture gardens to support artists and do something different.” In kind sponsors for the project include Colorado Hardscapes, Sunbelt Rentals, Lowe’s Arvada, Demiurge Sculptural Fabrication, Warren Tech, Arvada Rent-Alls, Art Management & Planning.

Dale Chihuly, the “it man” in the world of art glass, clearly prefers to let his stupendous pieces of spectacular art speak for themselves rather than pontificating on his work. During a five-minute media meetand-greet recently, Chihuly politely posed for pictures in front of the Monet Garden Pool at the Denver Botanic Gardens where an installation of the artist’s genius dots the grounds. The exhibition runs through Nov. 30. He answered a couple of questions while cameras, notebooks and voice recorders pressed in. This man of few words lets his art do the talking, and it has a lot to say. The exhibit, which features installations (some designed specifically for the Denver Botanic Gardens) at 14 sites, is a don’t-miss opportunity to bask in colorful beauty. Now that I’ve seen the show during the day, a nighttime return is on my short list. This is the Rocky Mountain Region’s first major outdoor exhibition of artwork by the celebrated American artist. Chihuly’s sculptures — ranging in size and form — add bold colors and dramatic beauty to the Gardens’ 24-acre urban oasis. Chihuly is credited with revolutionizing the Studio Glass movement and elevating the perception of the glass medium from the realm of craft to fine art. He is renowned for ambitious architectural installations around the world, in historic cities, museums and gardens. While I was oohing and aahing over the Saffron Tower & Cattails in the Ellipse Garden, a 30-foot-tall creation made of 312 hand-formed yellow neon tubes, the artist, along with “handlers,” rode up to the site in a golf cart. I asked him what he was thinking as he gazed at the Saffron Tower. “It has a lot of power, especially at night,” Chihuly said. Well said. For more information and to buy tickets, go to botanicgardens.org/ exhibits/outdoor/chihuly/about.

Changeable Chihuly

The artist who earned his chops in the international glass art world wanted to stay at The Ritz-Carlton or The Four Seasons during his Denver visit. I’m told by an impeccable source that The Ritz graciously offered the Seattlebased iconic artist the Presidential Suite gratis as a donation to the Denver Botanic Gardens, but when Chihuly arrived at the Denver digs, he was taken aback by the Chihuly-knockoff glass piece installed on the hotel’s second floor. So he switched to The Four Seasons.

Really learning about the birds and bees “Nature’s Nether Regions” by Menno Schilthuizen 2014, Viking $28.95 / $33.00 Canada 245 pages You just got bit. And bitten again. Every time you go outside, it’s like you’re a walking feast for a zillion biting, whining, creepy-crawling bugs intent on making you dinner. Where the heck did all these insects come from? Read “Nature’s Nether Regions” by Menno Schilthuizen, and find out. Literally. Birds do it, said Cole Porter. Bees do it. Even educated fleas do it. How they do it is the focus of a “new branch of biology” that explains why the sex lives of our fellow creatures — whether they crawl, run, or fly — rival anything you’ve ever seen on reality TV. But first: why have sex at all? Biologists are “still puzzled” about that, but they think mixing DNA has something to do with “outsmarting parasites” and ridding future generations of problematic mutations. And why just two basic genders, male and female? That still “beg[s] for an explanation,” though some creatures dispense of the whole male-female thing altogether, and reproduce through cloning. For them, it’s more efficient. Other critters get species-specific, when it comes to reproduction. The size and unique shape of a sex organ, which “is the only reliable indicator of a species,” may have evolved to keep, for instance, one kind of bumblebee from mating accidentally with another kind of bumblebee. Then again, some aquatic creatures don’t even bother with using their organs for mating: they cast sperm and eggs, willynilly, in the water and hope that their DNA meets someone special. But monkeying around isn’t always so bucolic. Certain species of female ducks have evolved with specialized organs that keep them from being raped. Some insects and fish pierce the bodies of their amours to mate, and spider males and

mantises famously don’t fare well at all when it comes to romance. Read this book and you’ll see why eating not-quite-cooked squid is dicey. You’ll find out how your pollen allergies are worse than you ever imagined. You’ll learn how “female preferences” drive evolution. Oh, and size? It matters in the animal kingdom, but not like Schilthuizen you think… Well, now. Here’s something you probably have never seriously pondered: the sex lives of bugs. But you will, once you read “Nature’s Nether Regions.” With the obvious glee of a passionate scientist, author Menno Schilthuizen takes a peek inside the bedrooms of beetles, bats, and bonobos. Here, we learn squirmy things about slimy creatures, nasty things about critters that once seemed cute, and we’re privy to the (sometimes) life-and-death struggle to pass along DNA. Along the way (and though his writing can get hard-core sciency), Schilthuizen does a fine job at entertaining while teaching – so much so that readers who’ve finished this book could surely be forgiven for becoming armchair entomologists. This book proves that the old slapand-tickle is much more interesting than slapping a bug dead. It truly shares more about the birds and the bees than you ever thought possible – and if that sounds like fun to you, then “Nature’s Nether Regions” is a book of which you’ll love every bit.

Racehorse movie faces long odds Independent ‘50 to 1’ makes way into theaters By Sonya Ellingboe

It is showing at Denver West Village 12, 14225 West Colfax Ave. The film’s producer, director and cowriter, Jim Wilson, a racehorse owner and racing enthusiast for 25 “50 to 1” opens June 20 at the years, was also Denver West Village 12, 14225 producer of the West Colfax Ave., Golden Oscar-winning “Dances With Wolves.” He had been looking for a good racehorse story and read numerous scripts.

contacted the owner and trainer — “and Bird himself,” Wilson said. His co-writer/co-producer is Faith Conroy, who has a home in Boulder. The story starts with a bar fight in New Mexico, where rodeo rider Chip Wooley comes to the aid of rancher Mark Allen and a friendship is formed. Ten years later, a winless Chip hears Mark’s name on TV and hears about a horse auction in Canada. Mark sends Chip to Canada to check out the quirky little horse and enlists a woman exercise rider, Alex, to work with him. The horse lost consistently, but they learned he had Canadian winnings that qualified him for the Kentucky Derby.

Jockey Calvin Borel and Mine That Bird, a 50-to-1 long shot, rallied from 30 lengths back to win. He never won another race and was retired in 2010, but the journey to make a film had begun. We had some conversation with Faith Conroy about how difficult it is to get an independent film into theaters. The production team started in New Mexico, where Mine That Bird’s owners lived, and made a bus tour promoting the film in Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky. In June, it opens in four Colorado theaters, including Greenwood Plaza, and negotiations are underway with theaters across the country.

Starting GTT in your town

August 22

Grandparents Teach, Too (GTT) is a nonprofit volunteer group of retired educators founded in 2008. Their mission is to help families prepare young children for success in school, a lifelong love of learning, and reduce the stress of raising children. There is a very special time between birth and age 5 when children learn the fastest and easiest. This window of opportunity only happens exactly like this once in a lifetime.

Families step up

September 25 CPT12.org

303-296-1212

Families can use some basic principles to combine play activities with learning skills needed for reading, math, science, economics and all other subjects, plus social/ emotional skills to get along with others. Most materials for activities are already available in the home and neighborhood. This learning can also take place while doing family responsibilities like sorting clothes and cleaning. Even if children are in a professional day care or preschool, nothing can take

the place of family fun time with a learning component during evenings, weekends, and summer. Grandparents Teach, Too teaches these principles to families so they can learn to make the most of this special time. It is not reasonable to rely solely on people outside the family to teach young children. Teachers try, but they are not miracle workers. Informed families are the key to children who love to learn.

FOR THE WEEK OF JunE 23, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A change of season reinvigorates the Lamb, helping to overcome the effects of a recent slower-paced period. This is a good time to restate your feelings for that certain someone. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) You might not like using your authority to correct a workplace situation, but that’s what being placed in charge is all about. Besides, you have people ready to lend support if need be.

& weekly horoscope

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Your creativity continues to run high and helps guide you to make some fine choices in the work you’re doing. Keep the weekend free for those special people in your life. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Don’t be surprised if you experience a sudden spurt of energy strong enough to pull you out of that recent period of indecision and put you back in charge of your own goals.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) This is a good time for Leos and Leonas to set new goals regarding health, educational choices and possible career moves. The plans you make now could be a blueprint for your future. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) You might have much to offer a potential employer, but it can all be overwhelmed by too many details. Let the facts about you speak for themselves without any embellishments. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) This is a good week to balance your responsibilities to your work-a-day world with your obligations to the people in your private life. Expect news that could lead to a change in plans. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to nov 21) A changing attitude on the part of a once determined adversary could cause changes down the line. Be prepared to take advantage of an unexpected new opportunity. SAGITTARIUS (nov 22 to Dec 21) You’d be a truly wise Sagittarius to be skeptical about an offer that doesn’t answer all your questions. Even a colleague’s testimonial doesn’t replace facts that aren’t there. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) It’s a good idea to avoid spending on unnecessary purchases this week in order to keep a money reserve against a possible upcoming (but, fortunately, temporary) shortfall.

Families are under a great deal of economic and emotional stress for many reasons. They are plagued by drug abuse, mental illness, alcoholism, unemployment, multiple part time jobs, physical abuse, and incarceration. Many families are just plain exhausted. Around the country 34 percent of re-

tirees are stepping forward to help raise grandchildren. Notice how many grandparents are picking up children from school and providing childcare. Grandparents have many years of experience and practice with skills to share. However, after 20 years many are finding they need a little refresher before they tackle providing childcare for this new generation of preschool children. They are searching for help, too, so they aren’t exhausted.

What does GTT do?

Grandparents Teach, Too provides columns in 62 newspapers, the www.grandparentsteachtoo.org website with pod casts, videos, and blog, two books “Learning Through the Seasons” in English and Spanish available on their web site. Little did these retired educators realize there would be such an interest and great need. Now there are requests for workshops at churches, childcare centers, organizations, detention centers, fathers’ meetings, and schools--more than they can handle.

Start your own GTT Retired teachers can work through a church, Great Start organization, and other local organizations to form a small group of retirees who use GTT principles to help create their own hometown version of GTT. Contact GTT at grandparentsteach@gmail. com for free information. Esther Macalady is a former teacher, who lives in Golden, and participates in the Grandparents Teach Too writing group.

Dawg Bowl draws players, charity dollars Rapidly growing tournament is one of the state’s biggest By Staff Report LITTLETON — No one was dogging it last weekend. Hundreds of players from 40 different teams competed in the fourth annual Dawg Bowl Charity Hockey Tournament at Edge Ice Arena. Over three long days players from all over the state and beyond competed against each other, but all for the same cause. Celebrities were on hand and thousands of dollars were again raised to benefit adult hockey players facing catastrophic illness or injury. In addition, four of the players who competed in the tournament who have health issues were surprised with large checks after the tournament as the four split nearly $50,000 in raised money. “This tournament is really unlike any other and the people playing and attending are all really special,” Tom Wade said. The Dawg Nation Tournament is one of the largest adult hockey tournaments in Colorado with 40 adult teams in 7 divisions (men and women), according to their website. In addition, former Colorado Avalanche and longtime NHL stud Pierre Turgeon was one of the “Survivors Game” coaches, while former LA King Derek Armstrong, current coach of Avalanche CHL affiliate, the Denver Cuttthroats, coached the other.

A member of the Braves hustles to produce a pass up the ice and past a member of the Dawgs during one of Sunday’s Dawg Bowl IV Tournament at Edge Ice Arena. Photo by Dan Williams Saturday’s “Survivors Game,” featured players and referees who have survived catastrophic cancer or other illness or injury. And in addition former NHL player and current Colorado Avalanche broadcaster Peter McNab was on hand and announced

some of the action. McNab is set to begin his 14th season as the Colorado Avalanche’s television color analyst and is a mainstay in the hockey community. According to their press release, Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation is a nonprofit

organization dedicated to promoting the spirit of fellowship via recreational hockey competition, supporting players and player’s families in high standards of health, wellness, and fair play and supporting league and team players in local community outreach.

Where to watch the World Cup No matter where you live we have a soccer spot for you By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com LAKEWOOD — Caught up by the World Cup? It is hard not to be considering Team USA’s impressive and emotional run. But if you are looking for some other “football fans” to enjoy the World Cup with than we have compiled a list of places who are welcoming soccer fans of every country. World of Beer (Lakewood and Cherry Creek); To lead off our list we present an establishment where you can actually enjoy a beer from any corners of the world. WOB has quickly become a destination sports bar and during the World Cup there may not be a better place to enjoy the action. Buffalo Wild Wings (multiple locations); BWW is the perfect place to take the family to watch any of the World Cup matches. Not only are there dozens and dozens of televisions but they also have several huge screens and there is not a bad seat in the house at any of their locations. Add some Asian Zing flavored wings and

World of Beer in Belmar has quickly turned into a destination hot spot for beer drinkers. It is also the perfect place to bring a few buddies and watch Team USA soccer. Photo by Dan Williams you will be set. Hopper’s (Wheat Ridge), This place isn’t only a great sport to watch World Cup action (they had happy hour all day long on Sunday when the US played Portugal),

but after the game you can relax on their outdoor patio or get a game of sand volleyball going. British Bulldog (downtown Denver), If you want to go be around a bunch of other

rowdy soccer fans and you don’t want to miss a second of the action go check out the British Bulldog who has a giant screen lifted three stories in the air where all USA games can be seen. It maybe the British Bulldog but you will be surrounded by a ton of people in red, white and blue. Zocalo’s (Denver), There is a giant Latino population in Colorado and for those who are interested in Mexico advancing and not the US, than Zocalo’s in Denver is your spot. Cheap combination plates and cheap margaritas fuel this Mexican hot spot where the loudest Mexican fans support their team. Twin Peaks (Golden and DTC), The scenery at Twin Peaks is second to none and I do not mean the big screen TVs. The ultimate guy hang out also has very underrated food and their TVs are set up so you won’t miss a minute of the action. Twin Peaks is spacious and the perfect spot to go watch the matches with a group of guys. GB Fish & Chips (Edgewater and Denver), Something about European football makes me want Euro food. GB Fish & Chips has three convenient locations to not only have the best fish and fries in town, but it is also a very underrated place to kick back and watch a match.

SportS quiz 1) Name the last major-league team before the 2013 Tampa Bay Rays to compile at least seven complete games in one month by its pitchers. 2) In 2013, Baltimore’s Chris Davis became the third player in major-league history to have at least 40 doubles and 50 homers in a season. Name the other two. 3) How many quarterbacks were picked before San Francisco’s Colin Kaepernick in the 2011 NFL Draft? 4) When was the last time before 2013 that the University of Michigan men’s basketball team reached the

Final Four? 5) In 2013, Jaromir Jagr set the record for most career game-winning goals (122). Who had held the mark before him? 6) Of the 56 winners (through 2014) of the Daytona 500, how many started on the pole? 7) What is the highest total of matches Serena Williams has won in a single tennis season? Answers 1) The Philadelphia Phillies, in 1999.

2) Babe Ruth and Albert Belle. 3) Five — Cam Newton, Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder and Andy Dalton. 4) It was 1993. 5) Gordie Howe. 6) Nine. 7) Seventy-eight, in 2013. 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

LeBron goaltender for USA Soccer? Why not Proud to be an American? Of course. Proud to be an American soccer fan? Not so much. America is swept up in World Cup fever but it likely won’t last past the conclusion of the 2014 World Cup. While I certainly don’t mean any disrespect to soccer and would never disrespect America, I think I discovered the reason why USA soccer is not a world power like Brazil, Germany and Spain. Instead, mighty America is considered a second-rate soccer country, considered with Ghana, Ecuador and Mexico as the longest shots, with actually no shot, to win the World Cup. Even America’s coach, who don’t forget is a German, said before the start of the tournament that Team USA had no shot to actually compete for a World Cup title. But why? Why isn’t America, with the best athletes, the best training and the most resources, able to compete with the best in the world when it comes to soccer? It comes down to the actual American athlete itself. America’s best athletes simply don’t play soccer, but instead play other sports like basketball and football. Think of a US soccer team that had Denver Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas as a midfielder. How about Denver Nuggets Ty Lawson being our country’s Lionel Messi, an elusive scorer who no one could catch or catch up to? What about NFL superstar running back Adrian Peterson running down the field with a couple Costa Ricans desperate to keep up with him. Or how would LeBron James look as a 6-foot-8 goaltender who would be the most athletic and physically dominating

netminder ever? Soccer is most every country’s national sport and their best and most premier athletes all play soccer and they do it from a very young age. Only the USA’s second-tier athletes guys who are too small to play football and basketball, and athletes who are under 6-foot tall - play soccer. This doesn’t account for every circumstance and situation but the fact remains that soccer is America’s fifth or six choice of a sport to consume, falling somewhere between hockey and lacrosse. Again, this is not a disrespect to soccer or America, but just a realization why we cannot compete on the world’s biggest stage for perhaps the world’s most cherished trophy. But if our best athletes played soccer it would be a different story. American soccer is rapidly improving and perhaps over the next couple World Cups we can close the gap on the rest of the world. But until we can field a soccer team that features Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Lesean McCoy and A.J. Green — which are just a few of America’s best athletes — USA will have to settle as being a second-tier soccer country.

Summer tips to keep your body tight Staying fit this summer could be easier than you think By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com Are you ready for the summer but your beach body is still a little soggy? Us too. Now that the summer is officially here there are no more excuses to be made for not feeling as good about your body as you know you could. But maybe you don’t want to go to the gym and lift a ton of weights or get on the treadmill for an hour. That is why we put together a list of several very effective ways to trim a little weight so you can fit a little easier into your summer swimsuit. 1) Swimming; There is no better place to spend a hot summer day than in a cool swimming pool. Moreover, while you’re swimming around in the pool you hardly feel like you’re working out at all. However, swimming for one hour could burn up to 500 calories. 2) Yard work; There is no avoiding it so you might was well work a little harder pulling weeds, planting a garden or trimming up some unsightly bushes, knowing that your sweating off pounds in the process. If you are unmotivated to mow your hard just remember not only are you making your yard look better but you are going to also look better after your hard work. 3) Hiking/walking; If you’re not into jogging take advantage of a nice brisk hike or walk. Whether you go to Mount Falcon in Morrison for a hike or you just want to

walk to rent a Red Box movie from the store instead of drive, a good hour walk can burn 400-600 calories. 4) Dance; Even if you have no rhythm everyone enjoys dancing. And your body will enjoy it more seeing how you can burn up to 400 calories by shaking your groove thing for an hour. Whether you enjoy Lou Rawls or Justin Timberlake, put in a CD while you are cooking or gardening and shake what your momma gave you and you will shake off the pounds. 5) Shopping; Wait, what? Yes, Wal-Mart is huge and the mall is even bigger. How about the farmers market? If you want to stay out of the heat but also stay motivated go shopping for a couple hours. And if you spend a little money and have several bags to carry you also just increased your workout. A couple hours looking around a couple stores a couple days a week could lead to a couple lost pounds. The Department of Health and Human Services recommends these exercise guidelines: Aerobic activity: Get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity. However, to effectively lose or maintain weight, some people may need up to 300 minutes a week of moderate physical activity. You also can do a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. The guidelines suggest that you spread out this exercise during the course of a week, and sessions of activity should be at least 10 minutes in duration. Strength training: Do strength training exercises at least twice a week.

Hepatitis C treatment costly, contentious Medicaid agency begins coverage while deciding who gets care By Kristin Jones

Rocky Mountain PBS I-News Colorado’s Medicaid agency has begun covering a breakthrough hepatitis C drug on a case-by-case basis, while it decides who will qualify for the potentially life-saving medication and who will not. Sovaldi, which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in December, has brought fresh hopes of a cure for the estimated 3.2 million Americans with chronic hepatitis C. But its price tag of $84,000 per treatment — or $1,000 a pill — has put it out of reach for many Coloradans suffering from the disease, which has a bigger footprint in lower-income populations. Many people with the disease don’t know they are infected, but severe cases can lead to liver cancer and cirrhosis. Hepatitis C is spread through the blood of an infected person. Once a risk in blood transfusions and organ transplants, the disease is now most commonly spread in the U.S. by sharing dirty needles for intravenous drug use. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 15,000 Americans die each year from hepatitis C — similar to the numbers that die from AIDS. Faced with a $7.2 million bill after a short time of paying for the drug, Colorado’s Medicaid program put the brakes on covering Sovaldi early this year. Between late January and May, only four of the 43 Medicaid patients who applied to receive the drug received it. The state Medicaid program will now take into account a list of factors when deciding which patients can receive the treatment, according to interim criteria that went into effect June 1. Among those excluded will be people who have already undergone treatment for the most common genotype of the disease in the United

States, and some with a rarer form of the disease believed to be less responsive to Sovaldi. Dr. Judy Zerzan, the chief medical officer at the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, said final criteria — expected in August — are unlikely to be much different. “With any new drug, we have to think about safety, efficacy and cost,” she said. Zerzan raised concerns about the small size of most studies of Sovaldi, and the little-known potential for relapse. But cost is the main sticking point.

Political pressure requested

The Colorado Medicaid program has called on Gov. John Hickenlooper and lawmakers to put pressure on Gilead Sciences Inc., the manufacturer, to lower its price for the drug. In a May letter to Hickenlooper, the department raised concerns that covering the drug for all Medicaid clients with the disease would swallow the state’s entire pharmacy budget with appetite to spare. It would cost between $506 million and $1 billion to cover the estimated 6,028 Medicaid clients in the state with a hepatitis C diagnosis, the department wrote. That is likely an underestimate, according to the letter, since it doesn’t take into account people who gained coverage under a recent expansion of Medicaid. By comparison, Colorado’s entire pharmacy budget for fiscal year 2012-2013 was only $334 million, while the total state budget, including education, prisons and transportation, was $23 billion. “We absolutely, sadly, cannot afford to treat everyone with hepatitis C,” Zerzan told Rocky Mountain PBS I-News. She describes her department’s approach as “how do we figure out who are most critical to treat right now, and who will benefit from it?” Sovaldi is the first of a new generation of hepatitis C drugs expected to upend the market for the disease by offering all-oral treatments — as opposed to the injectionbased — that are more effective and have

fewer harsh side effects than existing treatments. Small-scale studies of Sovaldi show a cure rate of more than 90 percent for common forms of the illness — a staggering success for a disease that can leave its victims with ravaged livers, requiring transplants. Previous, less-effective treatments for hepatitis C relied on combinations including interferon, which can cause depression, anxiety, flu-like symptoms and fatigue. Gilead beat competitors AbbVie and Merck to market with its pill, and reported Sovaldi sales of $2.27 billion in the first quarter of the year. FDA approval for competitor drug candidates, which may come before the end of the year, could put pressure on Gilead to lower its price.

Meanwhile, Gilead has come under pressure from U.S. legislators. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, was among members of Congress who sent a letter to the pharmaceutical company in March demanding to know how Gilead reached its price tag for Sovaldi. “Our concern is that a treatment cannot cure patients if they cannot afford it,” the legislators wrote.

Bill allows fast-tracking DeGette, who sponsored a bill that allows the FDA to fast-track breakthrough drugs like Sovaldi, told I-News that companies that take advantage of that law should incorporate its savings into their pricing. “The whole issue of how they arrived at the $84,000 per treatment is really a critical issue,” says DeGette.
