Now we’ve come up with the perfect closing gift for our buyer clients. We have partnered with Andrew Sams of Alpine Building Performance, LLC, to provide a fullblown home energy audit after closing — a $385 value!

A home energy audit, also known as a

Although installation of a geothermal heat pump system is most practical with new construction, I saw it done as a retrofit for an older home in the Applewood neighborhood on the north side of South Table Mountain.

Last October, the Golden Solar Tour featured a new home development under construction in northwest Arvada called the Geos Community. This community will include 300 homes using geothermal heating combined with solar power to create homes which require no externally generated electric power or natural gas, even powering one

electric car per household from solar power. I produced a 12-minute video interview with the developer, which you can view on YouTube by searching “Geos Community.”

This article is by necessity a somewhat simplistic description of geothermal heating and cooling, so I urge those in a position to consider such an installation to 1) Google the subject for more detail and 2) consult a company in the business of installing geothermal systems to see if such a system would make sense for you.

Long View alternative school graduates a lucky 21 The alternative school will stay at its location one more year

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Twenty-one students earned their diplomas May 27 from Long View High School — a small alternative school serving Jefferson County students. The ceremony, scheduled to be outside at the school, was held at Warren Tech due to rain.

Graduates were individually celebrated by their teachers with unique introductions and each student sharing their thoughts on graduation day.

Keynote Speaker Colorado Senator Andy Kerr told the graduates that listening is the heart of learning and to never stop doing that.

“You have arrived where many never do and you took the harder road,” Kerr said in his address to the students, who enrolled at Long View because their needs were not being met by their home school for variety of reasons: hyper activity, drugs, playing video games, tremendous anxiety or being with-

drawn for example.

“You are an accomplished family,” Kerr said. “Inspire each other to do more.”

Long View, in its 23rd year of operation, graduated its 300th student this year. Avalon Yates was celebrated as the 300th graduate.

He was the first student to receive his diploma at this years commencement ceremony.

The alternative school is housed in a 50-year-old temporary structure on the hill of Jefferson County Public Schools’ Life Long Learning Center campus in Lakewood. It was the subject of some debate earlier this year when Jeffco Public Schools staff proposed moving the school into the larger campus at McClain High School, which is also located on the Life Long Learning Campus.

But parents, students, alumni and staff said doing so would be the demise of the program.

After negotiations with the district, Long View will remain on the hill for the 2017-18 school year.

Then the fate is up in the air again, said head teacher Jennifer PerryDaly.

“We hope to remain in our current location forever,” PerryDaly said. “We work really well up there.”

Graduates Justice Gallegos and Solomon Ulibarri hug each other at the Long View High School graduation.

Wheat Ridge High School embraces districts 2020 vision Jeffco Schools hopes to teach students more about life than textbooks

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The goal for all Jefferson County Schools graduates is for them to not only master the Colorado academic standards, but also excel in civic and global engagement; communication; critical thinking and creativity; and self direction and personal responsibility.

Those are the guidelines laid out in the districts 2020 Vision plan, which was launched in 2015.

Though the school district reports that several of its schools are making strides towards the goals of the vision plan, one example of a place that embraced the mission is Wheat Ridge High School.

“In my mind, the 2020 vision is taking care of all kids and their differing needs and including the community in helping us to do that,” said Wheat Ridge High School Principal Griff Wirth.

Most recently the school created a new partnership with the Colorado Construction Institute to solve shortages in skilled trades.

“It’s a good opportunity for me to learn about instruction,” said Donal

Donal McGrail, 18, says that construction class is a good way for him to learn about and be a part of the workforce.

FOR MORE INFO Information and videos explaining the goals of the district’s 2020 Vision can be found at: http://jeffco.ss12.sharpschool.com/ about/2020 McGrail, 18, who wants to incorporate his love of theater and construction skills to be a set designer.

McGrail is one of four students learning construction skills at the Colorado Construction Institute.

“I think what we have been trying

to figure out in Jeffco 2020 it opportunities for all kids,” Wirth said. “We’re doing very good for opportunities for advanced learners, but what about our at-risk kids? So, we decided to attack that challenge.”

Wheat Ridge put together a career exploration program that focuses on three industries that are dying for workers: hospitality, construction and health care.

The school identified 28 students for the program who were considered “at-risk” of not succeeding in school because of a lack in credits, free and reduced lunch status, special education needs, or did not attend school regularly.

Before enrolling in the construction class, Jesus Hernandez, 18, wasn’t showing up for school. But his instructor at the Construction Institute, Mark Babcock, says now he arrives 30 minutes early for class. Jesus now has aspirations of being a framer and eventually a developer.

“We designed the program to try to see if we can re-engage them in school and give them work skills,” Wirth said.

Students in the program attend two months of academic boot camp blended with career exploration. In boot camp, they work on soft skills and employability. After that, they work with community partners for skill training. Training is three to eight weeks long followed by a paid internship.

“I think the problem we’ve had is the way we’ve looked at education for a long time says all kids need to go to college,” Wirth said. “I think a lot of times kids feel like if they don’t go to college they’re a failure. But the research tells us that 30 percent of our jobs require a four year degree right now. We’ve been trying to send 100 percent to college, when economy doesn’t support that.”

Wirth hopes that the skill trade programs offered by Wheat Ridge help change that.

But even before the 2020 Vision was implemented Wheat Ridge and other district schools were already embracing programs like STEM and STEAM. The high school started a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) program which would allow students to take on big projects, re-

search them, design, tweak and build them while partnering with community engineers.

Recently that STEM Team claimed a first-place victory at the annual Shell Eco-Marathon in which they showed off their prototype hydrogen fuel cell car.

The win marks the second national title won by the Farmers.

The cars are displayed inside the school.

“They continue to use critical thinking and creativity and expand the frame of what might work,” said Matt Flores, Chief Academic Officer for Jeffco Schools, of the STEM students. “That to me is a great example of Jeffco 2020.”

From the STEM program, grew STEAM with a “A” added for art.

Those students have installed a statue at Lutheran Hospital and worked this year on creating a fog wall that utilizes ionized water to create pictures.

Before both of those programs, the Gifted and Talented Center was launched at the school, nine years ago.

Wirth says the center filled a void for the GT students who were getting bored in class and dropping out.

“GT kids, I think there’s a misperception about who they are,” Wirth said. “People look a gifted kids as an easy road, but there’s a whole lot of different giftedness. They view the world differently.”

The GT program at Wheat Ridge, which pulls high school students from the whole district, allows gifted students to pursue passions and interests in an advanced academic setting.

“It’s an opportunity for them to be in that group with like peers,” Wirth said, adding that a lot of students in the program are twice gifted — meaning that they fall on the gifted scale academically but also struggle with things like anxiety, depression or autism.

Wirth is retiring this year, but he said he is excited that newly named Superintendent Jason Glass will be coming on board in Jeffco.

“I hope that he embraces the 2020 Vision,” Wirth said. “If he embraces that, then schools like Wheat Ridge will become models for what a school could look like.”

Parents should ‘speak now’ about drugs and alcohol Statewide campaign urges parents to have those conversations with children

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Jay Martin was 13 years old and living in Nebraska, he answered the family phone to hear a state trooper explain his brother had been in a wreck and he needed to speak with Martin’s parents.

Martin’s 19-year-old brother was killed in a car accident in which he was driving drunk. The experience hurt not only his family, Martin said, but also others who were involved in his brother’s crash.

Today, Martin is a deputy with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office working with the department’s Y.E.S.S. program, in which officers visit local schools and teach about such topics as online safety, relationship safety and substance use.

But Martin isn’t the only one trying to teach kids the dos and don’ts of alcohol and drug use.

A campaign run by the Colorado Department of Human Services Office of Behavioral Health called “Speak Now Colorado” is targeted at helping parents have

those difficult conversations with kids, especially around prom and graduation seasons.

On the Speak Now website, speaknowcolorado.org, parents can: • Learn how to spot risky behavior.

• Explore hypothetical scenarios to help them prepare for real-life situations involving kids and substances.

• Take a quiz to test their knowledge of drug and alcohol use.

• Get tips for starting and continuing conversations with their children about drugs and alcohol.

Start conversations early Rob Valuck, a professor of pharmacy at the University of Colorado, has worked in substance abuse prevention for nearly 25 years. He says the main reason for parents to keep their kids away from alcohol and drugs, including misuse of prescription drugs, is to protect their health.

“We really think it’s a critical time in people’s lives — behaviorally and emotionally and psychologically, but also biologically,” he said of adolescence. “There’s a lot of changes going on in people’s bodies up until about age 25.”

Mainly, he said, a person’s brain is still developing during those years. Drugs and alcohol affect how

the brain functions, and possibly impact a person’s reward system and self-control.

“We know that there’s issues if people start to use substances in those early years,” he said.

When talking to kids, he recommends parents start young, even as early as grade school age, he said, although using ageappropriate terms. It’s important for young people to know their parents don’t think using drugs and alcohol is acceptable.

“It’s not a moral thing,” he said.

“It’s a safety issue.”

Valuck also cautions that people’s risk assessment of substances has decreased, and he reminds people of all ages that no substance is perfectly safe, including over-thecounter and prescription drugs.

“There is no totally safe drug,” he said. “Every drug has side effects.”

Personal stories connect with kids When it comes to teaching kids about substance use and the power of prescription drugs, Martin believes they have to be reached on an emotional level.

So, he’s willing to get personal.

In those Y.E.S.S. sessions, he opens up about undergoing back surgery a year and a half ago.

Martin was prescribed strong painkillers. He says he felt firsthand the effects of becoming

reliant on the drugs and then the withdrawal symptoms that followed when he took himself off the drugs to avoid addiction.

And it wasn’t just physical side effects, Martin said. In addition to cravings, Martin said he also began having thoughts and feelings he’d never had before.

Both Martin and Valuck advised parents to let their children know that the “everyone-is-doing it” mentality is a big misconception.

“If you truly want to fit in with your peers,” Martin said, “most kids are not using.”

Martin also recommends that parents stay up-to-date on what’s new in the world of substances. For example, he said, the sheriff ’s office has encountered many students with vape pens that look like USB ports, which can contain a variety of drugs.

“It’s not always nicotine,” he said.

“They can be swapped out for THC. We’ve found heroin in them.”

Most importantly, Valuck emphasized that parents shouldn’t doubt the impact they can have on a child by openly discussing the dangers of drugs and alcohol — not only around times like prom and graduation, but also year-round.

“Research has shown,” he said, “that they listen to us more than we think.”

Jeffco school board members announce re-election campaigns Rupert, Harmon and Mitchell will seek reelection this November

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A majority of the Jefferson County Board of Education will seek to maintain three seats this November.

Board president Ron Mitchell, Susan Harmon and Brad Rupert have filed to run for re-election. The three were elected in 2015 following the recall of former board majority members Ken Witt, Julie Williams and John Newkirk.

Harmon, Mitchell and Rupert have been serving the remaining two years of the recalled members’ terms.

Rupert serves District 1, which covers Arvada, Pomona and Standley Lake areas; Harmon serves District 2, which covers Conifer, Evergreen, Golden and Green Mountain areas; and Mitchell serves District 5, which covers Chatfield, Columbine and Dakota Ridge areas.

“We are asking voters for support to continue the work we began two years ago to create a positive, collaborative work environment in Jeffco that results in student success and improved achievement,” Mitchell, a former high school principal, said.

“We look forward to working with our new superintendent Dr. Jason Glass to make the Jeffco School District one of the best in the nation.”

Harmon, an attorney, said Jeffco schools have turned the tide and board members want to ensure continued success.

“We have more work to do to ensure all graduates are career and college ready,” Harmon said. “We must attract and retain top teachers and principals.

We’re excited to continue to work with our community on these issues and others.”

In 2015, an entirely new five-member board was elected when minority members Lesley Dahlkemper and Jill Fellman announced that they would not seek re-election.

Ali Lasell and Amanda Stevens won those seats. Lasell serves District 3, which covers Arvada West, Ralston Valley and Wheat Ridge areas. Stevens serves District 4, which covers Alameda, Bear Creek, Jefferson and Lakewood areas. Lasell and Stevens are serving four-year terms that expire in 2019.

The incumbents filed their intent to seek re-election and opened their campaign committees with the Colorado Secretary of State on May 24.

According to the Secretary of State, as of May 25, no other candidates had filed to run for these seats. Candidates must file before August for inclusion on the 2017 November ballot.

Our mistakes may weigh heavy on our children’s heads

recently finished reading “Gods and Generals,” by Jeff Shaara. It is the story of several of the battles in the time period leading up to the Battle of Gettysburg, which was the pivotal battle of the American Civil War. It is a glorious book, as was its predecessor, “The Killer Angels,” written by Shaara’s father, Michael. I don’t feel it quite reaches the artistry of prose of “Angels,” but “Gods” is an excellent and necessary companion to the former. Mustreads for anybody even slightly interested in the Civil War or in American history.

And, again, every time I read a Civil War history, I am struck by the degree to which it feels like the war was not so much won by the Union,

as it was not lost. In other words, if the Civil War had been a football game, it would have been a 0-0 tie midway through the 4th quarter, with Jay Cutler and Brock Osweiler quarterbacking the two teams: the winner was going to be the one who did not screw up last.

On several occasions, the Union was in a position to strike a decisive blow, and failed to.

In some cases, because the general in charge refused to attack until he had more men (even though he had vastly greater numbers already), or until the plan was in perfect order (even if it meant waiting months to attack and losing tactical surprise), or until their intelligence was completely accurate (even if it meant al-

lowing an army in a rout get away). I think it’s just dumb lucky for all of us that Robert E. Lee and Jeb Stuart returned the favor and allowed themselves to be sucked into an unfavorable battlefield at Gettysburg. But had the Union acted more decisively sooner, there is the real possibility that the war would have ended much sooner with many, many fewer deaths.

What is fascinating about the way the Shaaras tell their stories is that they do so from a revolving first-person perspective, so we hear the (imagined) thoughts and conversations of the central players. As a result, even though it SEE ALCORN, P13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR New era for Jeffco schools The expected failure of the experiment to have a school district run by a militant labor union is now obvious. Voters in this November’s election can toss out the three board members now in office through the unfair recall, and give the new superintendent a chance to function in a professional climate.

He will be able to restore the former superintendent’s efforts to balance student needs with taxpayer confidence, neither of which have received even incidental consideration under union direction.

The magic of being authentic BUSINESS AIKIDO

Glenn Bott

I

f you want to increase your personal power and influence, and feel better, start being authentic. Be 100 percent you 100 percent of the time.

Authentic people radiate good juju. They’re being themselves in every moment and this vibe is contagious. People like being around them because they feel better — more relaxed and safe.

They know authentic people don’t have hidden agendas and are always straightforward and honest.

Being authentic is available to

all, but few choose it or have the courage to behave and live this way. Authentic people love and accept themselves for who they are — they’re comfortable in their own skin. They know they aren’t perfect (who is?), and they don’t really care. While they accept themselves in the moment, they continually strive to be a better version (Me 2.0) as they move forward. New experiences give them new vantage points from which to grow and expand SEE BOTT P13

Student Performance Not a Priority in Jeffco The Jeffco school board recently hired a new superintendent. The bad news, and there is a lot, is he does not have any performance based bonuses in his contract.

There are zero bonuses tied to gains in student achievement.

Why ?

Is it because in Eagle County, where he came from, student performance was quite mixed. In 2014 , after his first year in Eagle graduation rates were 88-89 percent, but in 2016 they decreased to 79-80 percent.

Is it too much to handle coming from a district with 7,000 students to a district with 85,000 students?

Some more bad news: Tax payers already pay 20.15 percent of his salary into his PERA retirement account, and we pay (his) 8 percent contribution to his retirement (why do we fund 28

percent without any performance requirements?!) and an additional 7 percent for retirement will be deposited into a separate annuity.

Wow! His annual raise is tied to the consumer price index (teachers do not receive that) so he makes more money next year regardless of performance.

We hoped this board would set a rational salary for our new Superintendent. They announced $300,000 was the target compensation for the search but Mr. Glass looks to be pulling in closer to $400,000 a year.

For what?

Guess Jeffco really didn’t need that billion dollar tax increase after all.

Anne Warren, Littleton Million Dollar Superintendent Wow, I am shocked that the new Jeffco Superintendent will have a 3-year compensation package that is worth over a million dollars! Isn’t Jeffco short of money? Wasn’t the comment “we need more money” mentioned at practically every school board meeting?

Let’s not forget, the school board asked for a billion dollars this past November. In his previous position Mr. Glass had a base salary of $195,000, his new base is $265,000.

That’s a 35 percent increase and a 20 percent increase over his predecessor. As a reminder, Mr. McMinimee had a base salary of $220,000 and Cindy Stevenson had a base salary

of $205,000.

As if Mr. Glass’s salary wasn’t outrageous enough evidently he can’t afford a car because he is also getting $750 a month car allowance ($9,000 a year). He also gets 25 days extra vacation, annual raise equal to consumer price index (regardless if our hard working teachers receive a raise.) and nearly $94,000 in retirement benefits plus a $795,000 life insurance policy. Does he think this job will kill him? And we are going to pay his living and moving expenses for six months. Who does that?

To top it off, there is no bonus for student achievement, none. Both of his predecessors had bonuses tied to gains in student achievement. That is right, for over a decade Jeffco Superintendents have had performance bonuses, but not Mr. Glass. Makes me wonder exactly what Mr. Glass sees as a priority if not student achievement. His contract screams of greed with zero accountability. But let’s not forget, it is all for the students. Thank you Jeffco School Board!

who they are.

When you walk your talk, speak your truth and have to courage to boldly be yourself, the world notices and respects you. The only magic in this is that so many don’t behave this way — by default you are noticed and are remembered.

We all know those who say anything to get your attention or close a sale. After a few times of being burned we have our shields up and begin to doubt our fellow man. Flim-flam artists are everywhere. They may do very well initially, but they don’t have repeat business or true friends because they’re constantly scamming and lying to others.

Successful solopreneurs I work with have cultivated this empowering trait of being authentic. Their personal and professional integrity oozes from their pores — they walk their talk. They move forward with confidence knowing they have the necessary skills and beliefs to see them through any potential hardships. They will find a way.

Inauthentic people say whatever is convenient in the moment yet never follow through on their spoken words.

By doing this, they continually shoot themselves in the foot and undermine their personal power and professional stature. They blame others for their predicament and often play the role of a victim. They don’t realize we’re all being watched and judged every moment of every day. Anything that diminishes your integrity also diminishes your power and influence.

no bonuses tied to any type of improvement. He walks away with over a million dollar contract with zero accountability.

How is that a win for Jeffco students and teachers?

This is a waste of our hard-earned tax dollars. As a full-time worker, I have goals and objectives to meet and if not, I could lose my job. I am held to high levels of accountability but I also achieve financial rewards for achieving those assigned goals. What is Mr. Glass held accountable to – nothing! A million-dollar contract with zero accountability. It’s a win for him, a loss for tax payers and more importantly, the students he is supposed to serve. If you want to give him a CEO salary, then hold him accountable like a CEO. Absolutely shameful that our current school board would waste a million dollars and expect no results.

Karen Buelter, Golden Thanks for accepting view I’d like to thank the Arvada Press for running a two page article about the local Muslim community on May 25th.

In a time that there is so much fear mongering going on in this country we need the press to help expose people to things outside of their day to day life. Muslims are just like everyone else and we need to accept them in our communities and learn from their unique life experiences.

The reason America is Great is because we are a melting pot of every culture around the world.

Taylor Rose, Arvada

Whenever you lie or miss a commitment you create tension in yourself.

This is because every time you speak you’re also listening. You’re training yourself and others that you can’t be trusted. This incongruence creates tension within your body. Your heart hears you commit to something, yet your mind has no intention of doing it.

This discord creates an ongoing tension that slowly increases over time unless consciously put to rest. This tension ultimately results in physical ailments.

Western medicine is beginning to prove that our thoughts and words have power. Dr. Masaru Emoto’s famous water molecule experiments on the power of words and intentions is one of the easiest to demonstrate and verify.

Dr. Joe Dispenza’s book, “You are the Placebo,” further proves the power of our minds and thoughts. We all know very intelligent and capable people who live a life of turmoil because of the diminishing thoughts they repeat to themselves many thousands of times per day.

Use the power of authenticity to your advantage. Begin to monitor your thoughts and tell a new story. The single best way to move forward powerfully is to begin being impeccable. Walk your talk and meet your commitments.

Do this with a song in your heart and watch your health and world change for the better.

ALCORN FROM PAGE 12

is a fiction based in fact and meticulously constructed from historical records, the readers get a glimpse into the thinking of the characters. And, the way the Southern generals are portrayed is quite sympathetic: these are smart, devoutly religious men who just want to defend their homes (of course, in the process, preserving slavery).

And then I noticed that, from the telling of Lee and Jackson, they saw the whole affair as a matter of God’s will, and they did their part, and then accepted His judgment, to the degree they could discern it. As such, I wonder if it ever occurred to them that the unnecessary prolonging of the war, with the thousands of deaths that followed, might have been God’s punishment for the “original sin” of slavery.

And then I got to thinking, “what sins are we committing today, as a nation, that our grandchildren will end up

paying a terrible price for?”

I know there are those reading this who will immediately jump to income and justice disparities as the great stain that will be atoned for in 50 years; I know there are also those who think the great sin is the abandonment of our Judeo-Christian heritage and mores. Personally, I think the widespread and unchecked corruption — the perversion of the rule of law — of the political process is something that will have to be reckoned with someday.

But the terrible truth is that, whatever mistakes we are making today will be paid for, not by us, and certainly not by the D.C.-dwellers codifying those mistakes, but by our children and by our children’s children.

I just pray that the next “Sins of the Father” do not leave us with hordes of new people to honor like those who fell at Gettysburg … or like we just honored on Monday.

You’ll never get off the ground if you’re trying to avoid the grind

I

don’t believe in wishing and hoping and praying for things to get better.

I don’t believe in positive thinking all by itself, or slogans to grease the way.

There’s work to be done.

Meditation and tent meetings and retreats and colonic irrigations aren’t on my list.

I don’t believe that you get there from here by being out there.

I would sooner make summer camp moccasins than sit in a room with hundreds of others and listen to a heap of calibrated phrases.

Most of us are recovering from something.

Bad relationships, job failures, drugs, alcohol, financial woes, the recent election.

We like to be handed pamphlets at the door. Given DVDs. Hear a deep voice say, “Listen without interrupting. Speak without accusing. Give without sparing, but we don’t accept American Express.”

I take my cues from observation and

lots of research, and then I simply roll up my sleeves and get to work.

Others need others.

My friend H. L. Mencken said, “Deep within the heart of every evangelist lies the wreck of a car salesman.”

Elsewhere, practically everywhere, it’s Craig Marshall easy enough to find Smith packaged motivation.

Lose-weight-withthis-pill kind of stuff.

No one loses weight by taking a pill, unless it puts you to sleep for 20 years.

Washington Irving wrote “Rip Van Winkle” after filing for bankruptcy in 1818, hoping to write his way out of debt.

He could have gone away just like Van Winkle, and bent elbows at the bar with a bunch of dwarves, just like Van Winkle.

QUIET DESPERATION

Instead, he got to work.

I watched a film the other night. It was made before they figured out how to blow things up, including people, when films depended upon scripts and directors and good acting, instead of junk in space.

I watched and listened for dialogue and dialogue pauses, editing, lighting, and “Dutch” camera angles.

The soundtrack is unforgettable.

I thought about the director, Carol Reed, who knew what he was doing because he studied film, and got to work.

I’ll name it at the end of this, but here are some other clues: zither, postwar Vienna.

I am recovering from something — maybe a number of things — but the main one is the bottle.

There is a lot of work that is involved that others never see, unless you know an alcoholic. And who doesn’t?

I can hear Dusty Springfield right now.

“Wishing and hoping and thinking

and praying, planning and dreaming” won’t get the job done.

The point is that I have to do much more than sign up for a seminar.

A long, long time ago, I heard about record albums that you could listen to in your sleep, so you didn’t have to do the work when you were awake.

You could learn a foreign language in your sleep.

You could learn about self-help in your sleep.

Bunkum.

The film I referred to is “The Third Man.” No one watches films like it now. It takes too much work.

It’s all substance. It’s intelligently made. No one flies without wings.

The galaxy in it is right here on the ground.

My best motivational speaker is myself.

Teenagers behind the wheel Teaching a teen to drive is both exciting and nerve-wracking

FIVE STEPS FOR TEENS TO OBTAIN A DRIVER’S LICENSE 1. Take a driver’s education class.

A 30-hour class, which is usually offered online or in a classroom setting, will teach a teen everything he or she needs to know to pass the test required to obtain a learner’s permit.

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

R

ayelyn Lockard is looking forward to being able to do some simple tasks on her own in the near future — helping her mother with the day-to-day errands, making a quick trip to the grocery store to pick up a few items and leaving her high school campus during her lunch break.

“I just enjoy driving around,” she said. “I’m excited to be able to start doing stuff on my own time.”

The first street that Lockard, 16, drove on was Delaware Street in Englewood, and for the past 10 months, she has been practicing her driving skills. Now, she only lacks documenting two nighttime driving hours before she is eligible to obtain her driver’s license.

“She was a good student,” her mother Annie Bennett said. But that still didn’t make the experience any easier, she added. “It was not always a smooth process.”

For lots of American teenagers, getting a driver’s license provides a sense of freedom. They can drive themselves to and from school, and they no longer have to depend on parents for rides to hang out with friends or meet up with study groups.

But for parents, although excited about the milestone in their child’s life, it can be a nerve-wracking experience of relinquishing control of being their child’s safest mode of transportation.

“I think I was the problem at first,” Bennett said. “I was really nervous — I struggled a lot. But now, for the most part, my nerves seem to be a little more normal.”

It is normal for parents to feel anxious about their teen learning to drive, said Ben Baron, owner and founder of DriveSafe Driving Schools, which teaches about 5,000 teens to drive annually through its 10 locations in the Denver-metro area.

“When we lose the ability to solely protect our kids, it’s normal for parents to feel anx-

2. Obtain a learner’s permit. In Colorado, anybody under the age of 18 must have a learner’s permit for one year before being able to get a license. So, if a teen wants to get his or her license on their 16th birthday, they must get their learner’s permit on their 15th birthday.

Rayelyn Lockard, 16, practices driving in preparation for her driver’s examination. Lockard only has two nighttime driving hours left to document before she is eligible to obtain her driver’s license.

COURTESY PHOTO ious,” Baron said. But “people get through it. Learning to drive is a milestone in their lives. It can and should be a great thing.”

Baron went through the experience with his two children, who are now in their 20s. He encourages all families with a teen who will soon start the learning-to-drive process to have an open and honest conversation about each other’s nerves.

“Be genuine with your teen,” he said. “Tell them, we’re super-excited, but also nervous because we’re losing our control of your protection.”

Bennett agrees that having conversations throughout the learning-to-drive process is important and beneficial. It strengthened their relationship, she said.

“Rayelyn and I have grown because of this,” Bennett said.

“We’ve gotten closer, with our communication and trust.”

Another thing that helped Bennett was Lockard’s weeklong driver’s ed course, which she took through Peak Drivers Ed last July.

“It helped a ton because I didn’t have to be the first person to be in the car with her,” Bennett said. “I thought, OK, at least she knows how to turn the car on and where the gas and brakes are.”

Some parents are terrified to teach their teen to drive, said Jake Dinwiddie, the lead instructor of DriveSafe’s

BE COURTEOUS TO TEEN DRIVERS student driver.

Dinwiddie would like to remind Mistakes happen when learning to everyone who drives in Colorado drive, just like they do with any new to be courteous on the roads — skill.” especially to cars marked as a Littleton/Lakewood location and the company-wide manager of academic quality. So after completing each lesson, he said, parents are generally excited to hear about how the lesson went and willing to take advice on what to work on.

“We have the same goal,” he said, “and that is for their son or daughter to become a safe driver. It’s really neat to see the a-ha moments from both the parents and the students.”

Much of teaching a teen to drive is patience and providing a supportive environment, Baron said. But two tips he would give parents are to lead by example by modeling good driving behavior and focus on safe decision-making in all scenarios of driving, for both local roads and highways.

“When you think about learning to drive, you often first think about teaching the

physical, behind-the-wheel aspect,” Baron said. “But more importantly, it’s also learning the mental aspect of driving — safe decision-making.”

Once Lockard had completed her driver’s ed course, she and her mother had their first driving lesson together in an RTD parking lot on a Sunday evening.

“I didn’t know what to expect,” Bennett said. “So I wanted to go somewhere where there was no traffic.”

But her daughter was already confident enough in her own skills — she knew what all the street signs meant, understood how to turn and how the streetlights work. And with Lockard’s grandfather putting in about 25 percent of the driving supervision work, Bennett and her daughter eventually made their way to driving on well-known, predictable side streets and

3. Complete behind-the-wheel training. State law mandates that any teen younger than age 16 ½ at the time of applying for his or her driver’s license must complete six hours of behind-the-wheel training with a professional driving instructor.

4. Practice driving with an adult.

The state requires that teens practice driving with a supervising adult for a minimum of 50 hours within the time of obtaining a learner’s permit and applying for a driver’s license. The hours must be documented by a supervising adult, and the written log must be provided to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) at the time of applying for a driver’s license.

5. Pass the DMV’s driver’s exam.

Once a teen successfully passes the driver’s exam, he or she can obtain a driver’s license and legally drive in Colorado. However, some restrictions concerning curfew and number of minor-aged passengers allowed do apply.

“The highways are still intimidating because most accidents happen on the highway,” Lockard said. “But otherwise, it’s fun to drive.”

She drives almost every day for about an hour.

And Bennett is proud of what her daughter has accomplished.

“I’m confident she can do it — she knows what she’s doing,” Bennett said. “But you never get used to them growing up. And then, all of a sudden, they’re driving.”

The art and possibility of paper Arvada Center’s three summer exhibits explore how paper is used to make art

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Paper is not just a canvas on which art can be created. In its myriad incarnations — tissue, cast, folded and countless others — it can also be used as the medium and form of creative expression.

And that’s just what the artists in the Arvada Center’s three summer exhibitions — Stan Meyer: Poetic Presence, Paper on Paper: The Art of ChineCollé, and Paper.Works — did.

“We’ve been wanting to do a paper show here for a while,” said Kristin Bueb, exhibition coordinator at the center. “In the exhibits, we tried to find a mix of representational and abstract works. Some of these artists have shown here before, but for others, this is their first time.”

The three exhibits run at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., June 1 through Aug. 6. Galleries are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 1 to 5 p.m.

Sunday. The galleries also remain open until 7:30 p.m. on evenings with theater performances.

In the Main Gallery, Paper.Works

Ken Elliott’s “Descending Trees I.” COURTESY OF ARVADA CENTER

Mark Lunning’s “Fragments of Entropy, No. 3.” COURTESY OF ARVADA CENTER

exhibits the work of 20 artists who work in paper. The works on display range from miniature, extraordinarily detailed creations to huge sculptures and wall installations.

“This is the first time I’ve seen this work installed at full size,” said Peter Yumi, whose massive work, “The Mark of the Beast SOS,” hangs in the gallery.

“The piece is about the 2016 election, how people reacted to it and acted toward each other on social media.”

Yumi’s creation blends classical images from Greek and biblical myths with distortions and images from modern society.

“It was a tremendous challenge doing it in the time span I had, but I get teary-

eyed seeing it now,” he said. “I hope people who see it ask some questions and take a look at online behavior and how we communicate.”

The Theatre Gallery is home to Paper on Paper: The Art of ChineCollé, which features the work of Mark Lunning, Ken Elliott, Jane Braley, Lynn Heitler and Amy Metier — printmakers who utilize the technique of chine-collé in creative ways.

Chine-collé is a printmaking process that transfers a print onto a support surface and thinner, more delicate papers that become a part of the printed image, according to information provided by the center.

The end result is a piece that appears both simple and of great depth.

In the Upper Gallery, visitors will see the works of Stan Meyer in his exhibit, Poetic Presence. Meyer creates flat-woven pieces out of roofing paper, taking inspiration from the designs of ancient cultures like the Celts and Maori, nature and architecture.

“I like the idea of language and calligraphy,” Meyer explained. “I want the pieces to be something positive, and that means different things to different people.”

Creating his large-scale works requires a lot of time and attention to detail, especially during the weaving portion of their creation.

“For me, it’s all about the language and shape,” he said. “What’s great about abstracts is you can take whatever you want out of them.”

Life is a “Cabaret” at Miners Alley Playhouse Classic musical takes on new resonance

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Those who doubt the adage that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it should take note of the lessons from “Cabaret,” a classic musical which details the rise of fascism and the stifling of creativity that goes hand-in-hand with such an event.

And it doesn’t hurt that the show features some top notch musical numbers as well.

“It’s a romp with a sobering message,” said Jim Walker, who stars in the Miners Alley Production. “There are amazing musical numbers, sexy boys and girls, and a message that will shake you a bit.”

Directed by Len Matheo, Miners Alley, 1224 Washington Ave., is hosting Tony Award-winning show from May 19 through June 25. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

The show focuses on a nightclub in Berlin in the late 1920s, as a dark cloud moves over Europe. Into the vibrant scene comes Cliff Bradshaw (Luke Sorge), an American writer

looking to live a little. He quickly falls in love with singer Sally Bowles (Adriane Wilson), and finds himself pulled into the world of the cabaret.

And The Emcee (Jim Walker) is there to share it all with the audience.

“The great thing about the way this show is staged is that the entire theater is made into the cabaret,” Sorge said. “Miners Alley leaned into its smaller space and came up with an idea that brings everyone into the show.”

People may remember the show for its racy costumes, elaborate song and dance routines, and vivacious characters, but all the glitz and glamour points to a world under assault.

“I didn’t realize how politically relevant it would be. It’s way more than singing and dancing,” Wilson said.

“The show is about important issues,

and takes place during a scary rise to power. That comes across in its tone.”

That the show manages to contain the disparate tones of flash and foreboding is a testament to the power of the music and story.

All three actors said the cast is having a blast working on the show, and that makes for an even more entertaining theater experience for the audience.

“In a way, it’s almost like seeing two plays, but that provides a full emotional experience,” Wilson said.

“That is what the theater is supposed to do.”

‘The Luckiest People’ in first run at Curious Theatre Family issues are explored in play commissioned by local operation

IF YOU GO “The Luckiest People” plays through June 17 at Curious Theatre, 1080 Acoma St., Denver. Performances: 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: curioustheatre.org, 303-623-0524.

There are two living rooms, expertly designed by Charles Packard to set the scene at Denver’s Curious Theatre: on the lower level, a dingy looking living room in a retirement home apartment, almost done in sepia, with a sentimental landscape painting on the wall. The other, a bright, contemporary living room with a large abstract painting and red furniture, is backed by a wall of windows that bring the changing sky into the picture — an important element. They set a scene for a conflicted Jewish family, after a funeral for the recently deceased mother, Dorothy.

Meet sad, cranky father Oscar (Randy Moore, who observed that he’d played old men since he was a teen); thin-skinned doctor/son Richard (Eril Sandvold); Richard’s appealing, articulate partner David (John Jurachek); and Richard’s emotional (and funny) sister Laura (Karen Slack), who flew in from Shanghai to help sit Shiva. A look at the cast list assures the audience of the strong performances generally expected at Curious

Randy Moore plays the testy father, Oscar; Erik Sandvold is his distraught son Richard; John Jurachek is Richard’s partner in the world premiere of “The Luckiest People” at Curious Theatre.

COURTESY PHOTO Theatre.

This is the world premiere of “The Luckiest People,” a play Curious commissioned after working with playwright Meredith Friedman as artist-

Family Owned, Family Run • Colorado Company for Coloradans • 31 Years and Running • Award Winning • Residential and Commercial • Dedicated Friendly Staff

in-residence — and the company has commissioned two more plays following this family and issues of middle age, in the spirit of “storytelling” the company has adopted.

“I don’t want to make jewelry from macaroni,” declares Oscar, who has refused all of the center’s activities.

Turns out he plans to move in with his son when his lease is up … But said son and partner are seriously talking about adopting 10-year-old Joshua and housing him in the spare bedroom.

In an effort to cheer Oscar up, they play “Funny Girl,” with its song about “people who need people are the luckiest people on the world” — thus the title.

There are funny lines and situations and sad ones in this well-crafted script, although the theme of family issues after a funeral would seem to be a bit overdone — probably because it allows for the accumulation of a cast of differing, quirky characters.

Skillfully directed by Chip Walton, the play looks at love, family relationships, careers, sandwich generation, women’s roles, marriage, children and aging — the stuff our lives are made of — offering a satisfying evening at the theater. Try to stay for the talkback with these articulate actors if possible.

Up close and personal with Lakewood’s arts world INSPIRE week returns with old favorites, new experiences

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lakewood is not only home to some vital and transformative arts groups and organizations, but also a city where many artists make their homes.

It’s easy to remain unaware of this fact, but the Heritage, Culture and Arts’ annual INSPIRE Arts Week wants to change that by bringing art lovers into the spaces where creation happens.

“We have something going on this year that I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” said Lorene Joos, arts programming curator for the Heritage, Culture and the Arts division. “People often don’t think of Lakewood as having all this arts stuff, but we have so many artists here.”

The annual 11-day event highlights the city’s creative energy through free and discounted events presented by more than 20 arts and cultural organizations like Rockley Music, 40 West

Arts, Belmar Block 7 and the Washington Heights Arts Center.

“We have people who look forward to INSPIRE all year,” Joos said. “For people who are hesitant about the arts, this is a great time to come out and see what’s going on in the community.”

Community favorites like the Rockin’ Block Party and Lakewood Symphony concert are returning for another year, but it’s some new events that give people an up-close look at Lakewood’s art world.

One first-time event will be a block party from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 10, at Belmar’s Block 7 art district. Many of the galleries on Block 7 have taken part in INSPIRE events before, according to Valerie Savarie, with the Valkarie Gallery, but this is the first time they’re all celebrating together.

“We have a lot of new artists in the block, and we’ll have a lot of booths out for people,” she said. “So many people don’t know about us, and we want to get the word out.”

For years, Joos said she’s been trying to set up some kind of studio tour, and this year, it’s finally a reality.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 4, visitors can take the first Artists in Residences Studio Tour, in

which area artists will open up their home studios to the public.

“We have artists participating all over the city who will be allowing people to see how they live and work,” explained local artist and tour organizer, Carrie MaKenna. “Lakewood has been promoting the arts for a long time, and I thought it would be really great for people to see how many art-

ists we have.”

The tour is a driving one, where tourists are provided a map of the city with the homes of more than 20 participating artists clearly marked.

“I hope people are surprised by how many artists we have in our community,” MaKenna said. “It’s not often you actually get to go into these people’s homes and see how they work.”

Ralston Valley girls win first state title

Quite the feller: Legend’s baseball coach has ‘had a great run’

L

Ralston Valley’s girl’s golf team holds up their school’s first state title trophy.

Team made up five strokes on final day STAFF REPORT

Ralston Valley’s girls golf team definitely peaked at the right time.

The Mustang foursome was five strokes behind after the first day on May 22. Led by Remley’s 74 on May 23, the team carded a second

round 229 (three golfer total with the fourth not counting) to win at 474 to Rock Canyon’s 483.

The team was comprised of Jordan Remley, senior Riley McKibbon, along with sophomores Sydney Eye and Lexi Mueldener was led by Coach Wendy Davies.

In the individual standings Remley finished tied for fourth at 82-74, for a combined score of 156.

“It’s really cool. I’m so very proud of the team,” said Davies. “The

JIM BENTON

round (May 23) was phenomenal.

Everyone played really well today.”

On the final day, Remley carded an 74, Mueldener a 77, Eye a 78 and McKibbon an 81.

“Our highest score was 81 that we threw out. Any time you can throw out an 81 you know you can come back to win. We were hunting,” said Davies.

The team also won the league and regional title this year.

Ralston Valley senior Jordan Remley watches her opening tee shot during the Class 5A girls golf state tournament May 22 at The Club at Rolling Hills in Golden.

Remley finished tied for fourth in the individual standings with round of 82 and 74.

DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Arvada West’s Miranda Schiffbauer drives of the first tee during Day 1 of the Class 5A girls golf state championship tournament May 22 at The Club at Rolling Hills in Golden. Schiffbauer placed 20th in the two-day tournament. A-West finished tied for fourth in the team standings.

DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

egend baseball will not be the same next season.

Scott Fellers has been Legend’s baseball coach since the school opened in 2008. He is retiring from the coaching post and his last game was a 1312 loss to Cherry Creek in OVERTIME the Class 5A state baseball tournament on May 22.

The Titans were 17-7 in Fellers’ farewell season.

“I could not have asked for a better season with me going out and retiring,” Fellers, 46, said. “I’m fortunate to have some good kids and everything kind Jim Benton of worked for us this year.

It’s a good way to go out.

“We beat all the big teams, won the league (Continental), won the district and played high-level baseball.”

Fellers’ teams won or shared three league championships, captured four district titles and was the Class 5A state runner-up in 2012.

He will continue to teach at Legend.

“I will have two kids in high school next year and a fourth-grader as well,” he said.

“It’s just time I focus on my kids. I’ve had a great run, had fun, had great relationships and good teams. It’ll be different because this is all I’ve done.

“I’m just going to take a year off, teach and see what the future brings.”

Shootouts should go Winners of state playoff soccer games should not be determined by penalty kick shootouts.

I know it’s in the rules and shootouts are used to determine winners across the world.

In Colorado high school competition, after two sudden-victory, 15-minute overtime sessions, if a match is still tied, then a penalty kick shootout begins. That’s fine and exciting for regular-season games, but come on, there has to be a better way in the playoffs that involves the entire team to break the tie.

Shootouts generally come down to the players taking the kicks making mistakes — a keeper has no chance unless he or she guesses right.

I don’t have a perfect solution. My only suggestion for an alternative is that a tie game could be suspended and the teams would resume another sudden-victory overtime on the next playable day. There were several baseball games suspended this spring because of weather and resumed the next day.

President Dad: Book looks at First Dads throughout history

A

h, dear old dad…

He can fix almost anything, make something from nothing, and he tells great bedtime stories. He’s BOOKWORM the Workshop King, Master of the TV, Lord of the Grill, The Yard Czar, and he likes to think he rules the house, too.

Or, as in the new book “First Dads”

by Joshua Kendall, he might rule a different House.

George WashingTerri ton, the Father of Schlichenmeyer Our Country, was not.

He wasn’t a father, that is, and that, according to Joshua Kendall, is one of the “key” reasons why Washington was “unanimously elected as our first President.” Yes, George helped raise Martha’s children, which apparently didn’t count among his peers.

“Of the forty-three men” who’ve become President, says Kendall, “thirty eight have produced progeny.” He classifies them in groups according to their parenting styles, which sometimes reflected their leadership styles.

Because Franklin Delano Roosevelt, for example, “was simply too busy to provide much guidance to

Author Joshua Kendall COURTESY RACHEL YOUDELMAN

THE BOOK “First Dads: Parenting and Politics from George Washington to Barack Obama” by Joshua Kendall c.2016, Grand Central $27.00 / $32.50 Canada 392 pages … his children,” he was a “preoccupied” First Dad. It probably didn’t help that, for much of their early lives, he was fighting polio; still, being a father “did not come naturally” to the charming FDR. Ronald Reagan also fell under the “preoccupied” category, as did Zachary Taylor, Jimmy Carter, and

Services Window Services

Lyndon Johnson.

Kendall says that Ulysses Grant and Teddy Roosevelt were both “Playful Pals”: they were permissive fathers who were happiest with their children around. Woodrow Wilson, despite his “dour” reputation, was lighthearted with his kids, too.

John Tyler was an example of a “Double-Dealing Dad.” He had nine children with his first wife, seven kids with his second wife, and a rumored fifty-two children by slaves and free black women. He didn’t publicly acknowledge any of the latter, nor did Warren Harding, Thomas

Jefferson, or Grover Cleveland publicly acknowledge their illegitimate offspring.

John Quincy Adams, his son John Adams, and Dwight Eisenhower were “tiger dads” who demanded exceptional behavior from their children. Harry Truman, Rutherford Hayes and Barack Obama go in the “nurturer” category. And Franklin Pierce never recovered from the death of his youngest son, nor has George H.W. Bush, the death of his preschool daughter decades ago.

Imagine having a family of your own … and then being responsible for 124 million more families. Some Presidents have done well at both and some, as you’ll see in “First Dads,” were real duds.

Much of that, of course, is a matter of conjecture and history but author Joshua Kendall takes things a little further in this book. Here, we get an idea of the parenting the presidents received and the childhoods they enjoyed (or didn’t) which, perhaps, affected the kind of parenting they gave their own children. Kendall also reveals what it was like for the wives of these men, the emotional legacy they left their children, and what became of those sons and daughters.

This is a great book for dad, the Historian, or Grandpa, who’s a political animal. It could make a perfect Fathers Day gift, “First Dads” could be very dear.

‘Do at the Zoo’ is quite the to-do Denver event is major source of funding for programs, animal care

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Denver Zoo’s gates will close at noon on June 15 so animals, their keepers and a crew of helpers-for-a-day can get ready for a big party.

Tasty snacks for visitors from a great variety of Denver’s restaurants will blend with cocktails, drafts and wines and ciders from area breweries at the annual Do at the Zoo from 7 to 10 p.m. on June 15.

In the past 27 years, zoo guests

have contributed more than $12 million to support the Denver Zoo’s many programs, including state-of the art animal care, age-appropriate education events and internationally recognized conservation programs.

Our message from the zoo says more than 4,100 animals live there, representing more than 600 species.

Well recognized this spring is baby giraffe Dobby, who has scored lots of ink and television coverage in the past few months — especially since he was a surprise. Appealing photos of Umi, the polka-dotted baby tapir, have also hit the news, and a visit to the Denver Zoo will allow a view of these two and many other creatures that run, creep, slither, swim, fly and climb.

IF YOU GO THE DO AT THE ZOO will run from 7 to 10 p.m. on June 15. (No guests under 21 allowed.) The Zoo, in City Park, has an address: 2300 S. Steele St. Tickets for Do at the Zoo cost $175 per person and are available at denverzoo.org/doatthezoo.

The event will be held rain or shine.

Each animal requires a special diet and safe, suitable place to live, designed for the individual species. In return, they teach children and adults about the wide world we live in with them — and the growing scarcity of many species. The zoo’s mission is “to secure a better world for animals through human understanding.”

A smiling baby giraffe, Dobby, will be on hand with his mom to greet visitors at Do at the Zoo on June 15.

Seed library — check it out

Feed store offering a resource that may be unique in area

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A seed library is just what it sounds like — patrons check out seeds, plant them in their garden, save some seeds from the plants they grow, and return those seeds back to the library.

A wall of envelopes full of fruit,

vegetable and flower seeds in Lewis & Cluck Critter Goods comprises what appears to be the only permanent seed library in the Denver area. Lewis & Cluck employee and founder of the seed library Nickolas Paullus learned about the idea while living in Manitou Springs, where the public library hosts a seed library.

“It was a great resource for the community,” Paullus said, who has spent the last 10 years working on farms or in greenhouses, honing his green thumb.

He received the blessing from his

boss to start it, and began distributing seeds in January.

“It’s a good way to give back to the community that everyone can benefit from,” said Lewis & Cluck owner Pete McClintock.

Most of the varieties in Lewis & Cluck’s library are tolerant of drought and cold weather.

“I like the idea of truly local varietals,” Paullus said.

In conjunction with the seed library, he has begun hosting classes on how to use it.

“My mom and grandma taught me the art of seed-saving,” he said.

Contact information and special offers area available at the Lewis & Cluck Website https://www.lewiscluck.com One benefit of local seed libraries is that the seeds come from a stock grown in the same climate where they are to be planted.

“You can get seed from a seed company, but you don’t know that was grown in a super-humid place back east,” Paullus said.
