MY NAME IS

JERI WALSH

tients and helping them feel good.

I worked at the Urban Escape Day Spa in Golden and feel in love with the community. I saw a need for advanced aesthetic treatment and opened Golden Laser Aesthetics in January of last year. On May 24, I signed the lease for my own office space under the Welcome to Golden sign in the heart of downtown.

We offer hair removal, skin resurfacing, tattoo removal, vein treatments and facial treatments, among other cosmetic laser treatments.

Aesthetician, owner of Golden Laser Aesthetics `Be kind to others’ I’m a Colorado native and I’ve lived in Arvada for almost three years.

I’m a Golden volunteer. I’m an ambassador with the Golden Chamber of Commerce, and I volunteer with the Golden History Museum. With the museum, I’m a chicken coop caretaker. I’ve been doing that for about a year. There’s a lot of pride to it with the history, and the chickens are just darling.

I recently got married. My husband Rob and I will celebrate our one-year anniversary on Aug. 6.

I’m a firm believer in the saying, “be kind to others and they’ll be kind to you.” It’s important to help out when you can. I want to be known as a good person who helped out.

Skincare issues When I was a young girl, I had an extreme case of eczema and I was constantly in-and-out of the dermatologist’s office for treatment.

Jeri Walsh, 28, has always known that she wanted a career in skincare and opened Golden Laser Aesthetics in January 2017.

COURTESY PHOTO So right out of high school, I knew I wanted to pursue a profession to help people with their skincare.

Now, I’m a licensed aesthetician with 10 years of experience. I love building relationships with my pa-

Walking on fire One interesting thing about me is that I’ve walked across fire.

I’m a big Tony Robbins fan — he’s a life coach. During one of his events called “Unleash the Power Within,” to motivate and overcome limitations, he has attendees walk across fire on the first night. The buildup is intense, but that was the hardest part.

Another one he does is climb a 40-foot pole and jump off it. It’s a metaphor for not carrying negative baggage with you and making the right moves toward your future.

Governor picks 18th District judge for state’s top court ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gov. John Hickenlooper has named Carlos Samour to the Colorado Supreme Court, filling a vacancy being left by Chief Justice Nancy Rice’s imminent retirement.

Samour, currently the chief judge in the 18th Judicial District in Arapahoe County, is best known for presiding over the Aurora theater shooting trial in 2015.

In a statement, Hickenlooper praised Samour for his imparSamour tiality and commitment to justice, saying his family fled the El Salvador when Samour was 13 because his father, also a judge, feared retaliation for finding a military official guilty.

“His home was riddled by bullets because his father chose to faithfully apply the laws of that country,’’ said Hickenlooper, a Democrat.

Samour was chosen from among three nominees after Rice in March announced her plans to retire at the end of June. She will have served more than four years as chief justice, nearly 20 years on the court and about 31 years total as a judge in Colorado.

Samour’s term begins July 2. He is Hickenlooper’s fifth appointment to the seven-member state Supreme Court.

Man sentenced to 30 years for abuse of toddler Child’s mother to spend six years in prison for keeping daughter in dangerous situation STAFF REPORT

A 22-year-old man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for inflicting a series of violent and traumatic injuries on his girlfriend’s 2-yearold daughter, according to a news

release from the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

Joshua James Gonzales was found guilty of child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury following his April trial, during which a Jefferson County jury deliberated for just three hours before returning the verdict, the release said.

The girl’s mother, Melissa Mangeri, will Gonzales spend six years in prison after she pleaded guilty in February to child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury for allowing

her child to be placed in a situation that posed a threat of injury, the release said.

Gonzales was in a relationship with Mangeri for four months and was staying at her house in Lakewood. The abuse began in mid-June 2017, the release says, and the most critical of the injuries were inflicted following a toileting incident on Mangeri Sept. 14, 2017. Gonzales repeatedly slapped, punched, and kicked the toddler, the release said.

When she became non-responsive,

Gonzales and Mangeri took her from the house, but did not immediately take her to the hospital, the release said.

Ultimately, 911 was called and the child was transported to the hospital where she was diagnosed with extensive, severe bruising over the majority of her body, pulmonary contusions, brain bleeding, seizures, hemorrhagic shock, a severely lacerated liver, and healing and acute rib fractures, according to the news release.

Gonzales was sentenced May 31, while Mangeri learned of her sentence May 30.

A Roarin’ good time at the senior prom Gatsby-themed party at the Arvada Center

BY CAITLIN DANBORN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

A

rvada’s senior citizens arrived at the Arvada Center’s ballrooms dressed to the nines for an evening of 1920s-themed fun Friday, June 1. The 11th annual True Senior prom, hosted by the Apex Park and Recreation District, offered a plated dinner, dessert, live entertainment, and dancing for seniors.

Senior advisor of the event Phyllis Hoffman says that she wanted to create the event in order to “do something extra special” for the senior citizens of Arvada. Senior program event coordinator at Apex and longtime Arvada resident Sarah Cunningham was working at the fitness desk at Apex when she was inspired to join Hoffman in planning this event.

“They had such great stories,” Cunningham said of the senior citizens she met while working at the fitness desk. “They’re a huge inspiration to me.”

The event brings seniors together as a community.

“We’ve had a lot of fun doing it,” Hoffman said of her time planning the event with Cunningham.

The Great Gatsby theme, which was incorporated into everything from the cakes to the decorations to the food, was chosen intentionally by Hoffman.

“We’re trying to bring back things from the era-it brings back a lot of memories (for the seniors),” she said.

The evening included the crowning of a prom queen and king, both of whom were selected by a random drawing, as well as prizes for the male and female who were best dressed for the 1920s theme.

Sarah Cunningham crowns prom queen Sharon Marquardt.

Al and Nancy White, clad in 1920s attire, dance at the 2018 ‘True Senior’ prom held June 1 at the Arvada Center.

Diane Burton reacts to being selected as the best dressed woman of the night. “This is a wonderful event and we have such a good time every year,” Burton said.

Violence both a cause and a consequence of homelessness

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

D

arin Barton’s plans on Jan. 14, 2017 were the same as any other day.

He was homeless at the time, living in a tent near Golden.

For some sort of an income, Barton and two others took turns panhandling on Denver West Boulevard.

Barton’s shift generally began at about 1 p.m. and lasted about two or three hours.

He was used to people calling him derogatory names or yelling at him for panhandling, Barton said, as this was his routine for the past four years.

“I’ve had people throw things at me,” he said.

“People spit at us.”

But Barton had never had anyone physically hit him, he said.

Until that day last year when a man got out of his car and assaulted him.

ABOUT THE SERIES This is the latest in an occasional series by Colorado Community Media that focuses on the problems and solutions regarding homelessness Jefferson County.

Contact Editor Glenn Wallace with information or story ideas at gwallace@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

••••• Beating someone up. Robbing each other. Rape. No matter what form it takes, the homeless are susceptible to violence.

“It’s the dark part of humanity,” said Rev. James Fry, founder of Mean Streets Ministry, a homeless outreach based in Lakewood.

“There’s sick people who get a jolt out of hurting others.”

It could be self-inflicted or caused by a mishap, such as a fall, but Fry believes that not one day goes by that he doesn’t see at least one person with some sort of scrape or bruise.

Hidden hurt In unincorporated Jefferson County, an incident involving a homeless person is treated the same as any other report, said Lt. Jon Everhart. Sheriff ’s deputies respond, investigate, issue a summons or, in some cases, make an arrest.

Speaking only for the unincorporated areas of the county, Everhart said he doesn’t see a log of violence, including assaults, among the homeless. However, he added, that does not mean it doesn’t occur. It could be that the incidents just go unreported.

“The majority of the (homeless) that we encounter want to be left alone,” Everhart said.

Many crimes — including

Barton those among the general public — are underreported, said Lakewood Police Sgt. Jon Alesch. With that in mind, the homeless population often tries to stay out of the public eye, Alesch said, therefore, generally prefers not to get involved with law enforcement. This makes them even less likely to report a crime committed against them, he added.

For example, Alesch said, a homeless person probably would not report that he or she had been robbed while sleeping, if they were sleeping somewhere where they weren’t supposed to be, such as in a laundry room in an apartment building or similar.

Homelessness wouldn’t necessarily be a cause for violent behavior, Everhart said.

But “considering the living conditions and drug or alcohol use, it wouldn’t surprise me that (violence) would happen,” he added.

Any living situation that there’s drugs or alcohol involved has potential for violence. And although there

are drug-and-alcohol related issues among Jeffco’s homeless, it’s nothing like in the bigger cities, Everhart said.

“Denver definitely has a different problem than we have,” he added.

Fry agrees.

“The homeless are way different in Denver,” he said, claiming that alcohol, drugs and mental health issues are

much more prevalent among Denver’s homeless population than Jeffco’s.

Homeless campsites are more hidden away and less controlled by the authorities, plus many are docile, Fry said, making Jeffco’s homeless enticing targets for street criminals looking for victims.

Moreover, Alesch added,

homeless people often don’t have a safe shelter to go to or family around to help protect them. This makes them more vulnerable because they are generally alone, he said.

“In Jefferson County, the homeless are generally more afraid of you than you are of them,” Fry said.

And largely, “you can’t get Jeffco’s homeless to go to a Denver shelter because of fear.”

Lakewood Police Department records show about eight incidents between mid-August 2016 and early November 2017 that possibly relate to homelessness and violence.

Two of these were assaults involved homeless people among themselves, two happened when a homeless person assaulted a member of the general public, one was the record of Barton’s incident — a member of the general public assaulted him when he was panhandling — and two incidents

involving people that might have been homeless.

“Although we have it out here,” Alesch said, “it hasn’t been an epidemic as far as violence is concerned.”

Something that is of concern, though, are crimes that Alesch referred to as “nuisance” crimes — a homeless person begging on private property, sleeping on a street corner, trespassing.

Families at risk Homeless families are different than the typical homeless person, Fry said.

Often, they have some sort of income because one member in the family is working, he said.

“Getting a job is generally not the problem,” Fry said, “it’s finding affordable housing.”

With the families, it’s usually because of a circumstance, such as losing stable housing because of a rent increase, for example, that puts them in the situation of homelessness, Fry said. Bad behavior or drug use aren’t usually the contributing reasons, he added.

Homeless families run the risk of getting robbed when they have to store all of their possessions in their car, Fry said. In addition, sometimes they have no choice but to sleep where there’s others, putting them at even more risk to be victimized.

“A guy’s pretty defenseless if someone busts out a car window and

The charges stem from two separate assaults on panhandlers — the incident with Barton in Lakewood, and an incident with Marsh on April 16, 2017, in Wheat Ridge.

In both cases Wiltbank got out of his car, yelling things such as “get out of my city” with a mix of profanities and eventually Wiltbank shoving or chest-bumping the men, knocking them off balance.

Law enforcement would like to help those working toward a solution to end homelessness, said Alesch. A solution to the overarching problem is preferred to being forced to ticket a person for needing to find a place to sleep, or seeing a homeless person being a victim of any crime committed against them, he added.

“You can’t arrest or ticket your way out of a homeless problem,” Alesch said.

“In Jefferson County, the homeless are generally more afraid of you, than you are of them, and largely, you can’t get Jeffco’s homeless to go to a Denver shelter because of fear.”

Sta rtin g Sat this urd ay

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INCREASING NUMBER OF HOMELESS In Jeffco last year, a Point In Time survey reveals that 19.7 percent of homeless people said abuse or violence at home contributed to them becoming homeless.

This is an increase from the 2016 survey, when 13.2 percent reported abuse or violence in the home as a reason for their homelessness.

In 2008 the survey found 111 homeless people across the Denver-metro area who reported being a victim of domestic violence. This number increased to 291 five years later, in 2013. By last year, the number of homeless domestic violence victims across the Denver-metro area had doubled again to 586.

obtained housing in the south Denver area.

Marsh was never homeless. But he can’t work because he suffers from epilepsy, he said during his testimony at Wiltbank’s jury trial on Feb. 13. That month, he just needed extra funds to help cover his share of rent, pay for his medication and give gas money to those who drive him to-and-from his doctor’s appointments, he said.

“I was scared. I’ve never been almost hit by a car before,” Marsh said of the day Wiltbank assaulted him. “I’m terrified to go down the street now.

Everyday that I do go down the street, I keep my eyes peeled.”

Jeffco farmers markets double access to healthy food 13 markets and community supported agriculture locations partner with health department on food access programs

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s farmers market season in Colorado and now more than ever, Jefferson County’s lower income families will have better access to fresh and healthy foods.

This year, Jefferson County Public Health has partnered with 13 farmers markets and Community Supported Agriculture locations to participate in the Double Up Food Bucks program.

“We know that the Double Up Food Bucks program helps those who need it most get more, higherquality food,” said Jenna Metzinger, the health department’s farmers market SNAP coordinator. “It really is a win-win-win, because it helps provide more healthy food for those in need, puts more money into our local farmers’ pockets and it boosts our local economy.”

Double Up Food Bucks Colorado is a program where people who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, previously known as food stamps, can get extra fresh produce for every dollar spent on eligible items.

So, for example, Metzinger said, a person can buy coffee in bulk to make in the home, but not a cup of coffee to drink while shopping.

those participated in Double Up Food Bucks.

Everybody needs to eat so it’s important that everybody has access to fresh and healthy food, said Marion Kalb, the food systems coordinator at Jefferson County Public Health.

A person or family who does not have access to adequate, nutritious food because of a lack of money or other resources are at risk for numerous physical and mental health consequences, Kalb said. These

Hunter Bay barista Veronica Carlson puts the finishing touches on a latte at the Olde Town Arvada coffee shop.

Hunter Bay now serving CBD coffee The specialty coffee beans are infused with CBD oil

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As of May 24, Hunter Bay Coffee Roasters in Olde Town Arvada are serving up a different kind of coffee — one in which the beans are infused with Cannabidiol — more commonly known as CBD oil.

“I’m super excited,” said A.J. Payne, general manager of Hunter Bay Coffee Roasters in Arvada. “I think it’s going to be really cool.”

In the first couple hours after officially introducing the product in the shop, Hunter Bay baristas sold 10 drinks.

At the shop, the CBD coffee will be sold in espresso drinks including lattes, mochas and Americanos. Each shot of espresso packs about 15 milligrams of CBD oil.

CBD is a non-psychoactive compound found in Hemp. It started receiving national attention a couple years ago for its anecdotally reported pain relieving, anti-inflammatory and anticonvulsant qualities.

The process of infusing coffee beans with the CBD oil is unique and stems from a partnership with SteepFuze, a Boulder-based company.

Through trials of the drink at his shop, Payne has heard customers talk about the stronger focus the combination of caffeine and CBD gives them in addition to some calming effects.

“Most people start their morning off with a cup of coffee and it’s the caffeine keeps them coming back,”

Hunter Bay Coffee Roasters in Olde Town Arvada started serving CDB coffee May 24.

Payne said. “It helps them wake up and energizes them. However, to some people it really gives them jitters. The CBD takes that away and also takes the stomach ache away.”

As the produce progresses, Hunter Bay plans to sell the infused beans in bags with light, medium, dark and decaf options. Bags will be available at the Olde Town Arvada shop within the next month.

Although there is no “high” associated with this drink, and it shouldn’t set off any drug tests, Payne has decided to only sell it to customers 18 and older.

M

an goes to see his doctor and says, “Doc, every time I hit my hand with a hammer it hurts.”

Doctor says, “Stop hitting your hand with a hammer.”

That’s one of the oldest jokes I’ve ever stolen, but there is some wisdom in it, and I think it might have a contemporary application that would solve a number of problems.

I think we could do away with the national anthem, played or performed, before all athletic events, and not miss it.

What’s wrong with, “Play ball”?

Would it be traitorous?

I don’t think so. It’s simply a tradition. Not a mandate.

QUIET DESPERATION

What, exactly, directly, and specifically does the national anthem have to do with a professional football game (for example)?

The anthem is an important and meaningful acknowledgment of the freedoms we enjoy in America, as well as a salute to Craig Marshall the men and women Smith — past and present — who have served this country in the armed forces (and I would include law enforcement officers).

A professional football game is a

game, not an occasion of solemnity or a function that generally or specifically pertains to anyone’s vigorous support of the United States.

It’s entertainment.

The anthem isn’t played before a concert at Red Rocks, before a symphony at Boettcher, or before bingo on South Federal.

The anthem has been in the news ever since quarterback Colin Kaepernick took a knee. It’s in the news right now, because the National Football League has decided players must stand for it.

Good luck with that.

However, players can remain in the locker room.

Good luck with that.

President No. 45 said if they don’t stand maybe “they shouldn’t be in the country.”

Brilliant, as ever.

We like to manufacture controversy where there doesn’t have to be any.

I am sure there are those would think the sky had fallen if the national anthem were no longer played.

I would like to recommend something else.

Silence. Silence is golden.

Simply ask everyone to respect a moment of silence, and let people contemplate whatever they wanted: the United States of America, veterans, God, friendship, sobriety, peace, SEE SMITH, P14

Grabbing that low-hanging fruit can help you reach mountaintop

LETTERS FROM PAGE 12

Good job parks crew Kudos to the Wheat Ridge Parks’ Green Belt crew for their meticulous attention to Anderson Park and the Green Belt trail, and for always responding to my requests over the last couple years to clean up sundry raccoon, cat, and geese carcasses, mattresses, discarded tires, abandoned camping gear, kids’ bicycles and carpets tossed in the creek, smartalecky and incoherent teen pot-smokers/ drinkers, broken-down drug-tourists from Georgia and Alabama camping on the edge of Clear Creek, and especially for promptly painting over recurrent graffiti. Without their close vigilance and efforts Anderson Park would be quite a different sort of place.

Roger Fransson, Wheat Ridge Getting drastic about plastic In response to Ethan Cohen’s letter, May 31, I couldn’t agree more. So what are we going to do about it?

Here’s a couple ideas that very few people are going to like. First, mandatory recycling from our trash companies.

I currently pay $2 a month to have my recycle bin picked up twice a month.

This is voluntary. I know some cities do this for free. Arvada isn’t one of them.

Drawback is people with overflowing trash bins then start filling their recycle bin with trash. Sounds like maybe an additional charge might solve that problem.

Second idea would be a bottle deposit.

Not a bad idea until you have to stand in line to reclaim your bottle deposit-one bottle at a time. To speed and simplify the process, make every store take every

brand of bottle. Who cares who sold it.

Why stop with bottles and cans?

How about batteries, light bulbs, paper products and other plastic products? I think if you sell it and it’s recyclable, you should accept it for recycle.

I’m sure you have other ideas. Even better ideas. Let’s see them here.

Think about the destruction and devastation we are doing to out planet.I’m an older guy. I’m probably not going see the irreversible effect of this mess that we have created. But your children and grand-children will.

Bob Koth, Arvada Spending for spending’s sake?

In the last few editions there have been many letters about the financial shenanigans of the Jeffco School District. Why is the current school board racing to create significant expenditures and debt? Many complained about the recalled school board members, was it because they were running a fiscally sound school district? Education scores were improving, and our district was in good financial shape. The new school up north was fully funded, and they were working to increase teacher salaries.

That is history. Do we really want a debt laden future?

During the last few years I have attended information sessions regarding our school district. A comment made at almost every meeting was that we needed more funding. Then I would have the gall to ask, “What do you need the money for?” The leaders of the group, and others, would look at me as if I had just grown two heads. I never got an answer. Are the current minimal improvements in education worth this extra spending? Will we ever change the education paradigm so that we

make real progress? An excellent math exercise for high schoolers might be to evaluate the present school budget in relation to the quality of their education.

William F Hineser, Arvada Parkway study flaws Careful reading of the Parkway study reveals some flaws that lead to invalid projections of revenue. The most glaring error is the definition of other highways near the proposed JP route. The description of other roads like SH-93, SH128, SH-72 are what they are currently, not what they will be like in 2020 when the Parkway construction is planned to begin. The error is in comparing the traffic projection on the future JP with the competing highways as they exist now. There are plans to improve these highways and some has already started. Also, there is an overoptimistic projection of the amount of traffic that will use the 10 mile Phase 1 (Initial Build) Parkway. Drivers are not likely to pay a toll to save a few minutes at most when the nearby free roads can take them anywhere the JP could.

The study does not include what designing, building, operating and maintaining the Parkway will cost in 2020.

CDOT and Denver Regional Council of Governments have announced that the Parkway is a “stand alone” project and will receive no Federal or State funds, as have E-470 and the NW Parkway PublicPrivate-Partnership organizations. No profit-making company has come forward in the nine years that the JPPHA has been spending taxpayer money to participate because toll revenue alone will not cover costs.

SMITH FROM PAGE 12

Krispy Kremes, Ford F-150s, Kurt Vonnegut, “Stairway to Heaven.”

I’m not kidding.

How about a quiet moment before these overpaid clods collide?

As it is right now, the anthem is not being respected by everyone else in the stadium. What about them?

Will the day come when technology will pick them out like flawed apples being scanned at the sauce factory?

The guy behind you has his cap on backwards. The girl in front of you is texting. The couple down the row is taking a selfie.

And there are others who feel exactly like some of the

football players do, and they sit.

I will never understand why we impose our beliefs on others. It leads to arguments and lawsuits and riots and deaths.

I realize my suggestion won’t be taken seriously. With traditions come obstinacy, and a general unwillingness to change. In this case, over a nearly-impossible-to-sing song, that is a symbol, albeit a good symbol, of something that has nothing to do with what ensues. A game.

If the song doesn’t rise, the game will go on just as it would have, and there would be no recriminations.

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

out of pure luck or happenstance.

They think that they were somehow predestined to succeed. And that is hardly, and I mean hardly ever the situation. Most of the top executives, salespeople, managers, leaders and everyday ordinary people I have met with or interviewed have shared their story of hard work and growing the fruit in the valleys of life. And along the way they grabbed whatever lowhanging fruit they could find to help drive their purpose and passion as

they worked toward the mountaintop.

So how about you? Are you looking at the mountaintop and wishing you were there? Or are you in the valley, putting in the time and effort that it takes to get yourself to the mountaintop? Either way, and as always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we can grab the low-hanging fruit along the way, and learn to enjoy it on the mountaintop, it really will be a better than good week.

Colorado Community Media adds pair of Denver monthlies State’s largest familyowned community media group continues to grow STAFF REPORT

Colorado Community Media is the new owner of Denver Metro Media, which publishes the popular monthly newspapers Life on Capitol Hill and The Washington Park Profile. By adding the two newspapers, as of May 25, CCM now owns 20 community publications across the Denver metro area.

CCM, the largest family-owned community media organization in Colorado, purchased the monthly publications from Jill and Jay Farschman, owners since 2016.

Thriving through the decades, Life

on Capitol Hill started printing in 1975, and The Washington Park Profile began in 1978.

The publications have a combined print circulation of 39,500.

Jill Farschman said she chose Colorado Community Media because of the company’s commitment to “journalistic J. Healey integrity.”

“You are in good hands,” she said in a farewell column to readers. “Our papers are kind of the `donut hole’ for CCM’s `donut’ of local papers serving communities throughout the greater Front Range.

to sell to CCM, in particular, makes a ton of sense.”

Owned by husband and wife Jerry Healey and Ann Macari Healey, CCM currently publishes 18 weekly community newspapers in Douglas, Jefferson, Arapahoe, Denver, Adams and Elbert counties. CCM CEO/ Publisher Jerry Healey said the new acquisition is an exciting step forward.

“For some, community journalism is a passion,” he said. “At CCM, it’s never strictly about dollars and cents, but rather connecting people and businesses in a way that no other medium can. This is why we have decided to expand in Denver. While we are the new owners, we will work hard to continue to carry on the strong legacy and reputation both of these publications have earned.”

Kailyn Lamb will take over as edi-

tor for both monthly publications.

Lamb is a graduate of Metropolitan State University of Denver and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

She has worked for the Summit Daily News and the online publication Lamb BusinessDen. The Colorado native said she is ready to get to work.

“I’m excited to dive in and learn more about what these communities celebrate, what they fight for and how they will grow,” Lamb said.

“These newspapers are the heart of the community, and the stories we write will have a direct impact on our readership. It’s an honor to take up that mantle in the community I call home.”

Presenting Denver offers

first dance steps

The Presenting Denver Dance Festival is the result of several years work by several organizations to start building up Denver as a hub for the art.

Festival aims to make city a hub of movement

A

ttend many festivals and large parties around the metro area, and there’s usually a dance component to them — everything from cultural and traditional to more modern styles.

But that is just a taste of Denver’s growing dance scene, so Meredith Hutson, executive director of Presenting Denver, wanted to find a way to showcase the many facets of the form.

IF YOU GO WHAT: Presenting Denver Dance Festival WHERE: The Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts, 2344 E. Iliff Ave., Denver WHEN: Saturday and Sunday, June 23 and 24 TICKETS/INFORMATION: www.presentingdenver.org/pd-dance-festival/ and www. newmantix.com/pd

According to Meredith Hutson, executive director of Presenting Denver, the goal of the festival is to inspire audiences to recognize and celebrate all the forms of modern dance.

Meet your favorite maker at Comic Con

t is easy to get swept up in all the glitz and celebrity when attending Denver Comic Con, but it’s the writers and artists who are responsible for creating the worlds we love to get lost in.

One of my favorite parts about the con is COMING Authors AlATTRACTIONS visiting ley, where writers are friendly and eager to discuss what exciting things they’ve been working on.

“I love meeting fans and finding new ones who are shopping around for their next favorite author or series,” said local Clarke Reader author Sue Duff. “I love doing giveaways and watching attendees get excited about magic props/ tricks, disappearing ink and other magic-related or super hero items I’ve found throughout the year.”

Duff recently completed her series, “The Weir Chronicles,” with the release of fifth book “Dim the Lights” this past February.

Fans can also participate in educating and enlightening panels, where their favorite authors will discuss everything from publishing tips to story origins. They’re usually game to answer questions from attendees as well.

“My favorite thing is the panels,” said local author Liv Hadden, who recently released the third edition of her thriller sci-fi novel, “In the Mind of Revenge.” “I love talking about books and craft with great writers and fans.”

There’s still time to get tickets to Comic Con at www.denvercomiccon. com.

Lone Tree announces eighth season The Lone Tree Arts Center is going beyond the theatrical with the announcement of its 2018-2019 season. This is the eighth season for the center, 10075 Commons St., which has grown in stature and draw in less than a decade.

For fans of the stage, the season kicks off in October with “Low Down Dirty Blues,” which features favorite blues tunes from the likes of Muddy Waters, Mae West, and Howlin’ Wolf.

In December, audience favorite “Home for the Holidays” is back by popular demand.

And the final theatrical offering is “Beehive: The ‘60s Musical” in April.

The show is a tribute to female pop stars of the era, including Lesley Gore, Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin.

DANCE FROM PAGE 16

“The dance community has a lot to offer, and we’re working to make the area a dance hub,” Hutson said.

“We’re doing that by increasing accessibility of dance information and wanted to be able to show people the range of talent.”

Presenting Denver partnered with The Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts to host the first Presenting Denver Dance Festival, which will be held on June 23 and 24. Performances will be held at the Newman Center, 2344 E. Iliff Ave. in Denver.

Festival Artists were selected by a pool of jurors, including Darrell Anderson, visual artist; Laurence Anthony Curry, actor, dancer and choreographer; Mary Louise Lee, First Lady of Denver and accomplished performer; and Stephen W. Seifert, former Executive Director of the Newman Center for the Performing Arts.

The Main Stage concert, “New and Now,” will take place on both days in the Byron Flex Theatre.

“New and Now” will be a concert of world premieres by Colorado artists Chadash Contemporary Dance Movement, Edgar L. Page, Gregory Gonzales, Hannah Kahn Dance Company, Helanius J. Wilkins, Kristen Demaree, Moraporvida Contemporary Dance, and The Schiff Dance Collective.

“It’s been a really great process for me, especially since I am also writing my own music and doing the costumes,” said Demaree. “This

The season also continues the National Geographic Live speaker series, which combines breathtaking photography and videography with first-person accounts of exploration and discovery. Topics this year include exploring the Arctic, ancient Egypt and wildlife study.

Last year the center started its Classic Albums Live series, and it continues this year with replaying of The Eagles’ “Hotel California,” The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Chronicle, Vol. 1.”

There’s even more for music fans — the season starts on Sept. 15 with Lannie Counts performing “The Greatest R&B Songs Ever Written.”

Counts is a longtime performer in Las Vegas, having performed with the Las Vegas Tenors and more.

Other notable performers in the 2018-19 season include Sons of the Pioneers featuring Roy Rogers, Jr., International Guitar Night, legend Jim Messina, Canadian crooner Matt Dusk singing the music of Frank Sinatra, traditional Russian song and dance with Barynya, a capella favorites Rockapella, The Choir of Man, and Broadway star Lea Salonga.

The first ever Presenting Denver Dance Festival will be held at the Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts on June 23 and 24.

JAMIE KRAUS PHOTOGRAPHY kind of project is one I’ve always wanted to do, but never had the opportunity before.”

For her world premiere piece, Demaree is taking ballet back to its roots by incorporating older dance forms like the tarantella and medieval dancing mania.

Kahn said the chance to premiere a completely new work is rare and thrilling opportunity — and more than a little nerve-wracking.

“My work is usually pretty abstract, and this one is as well, but I would say it’s not a typical piece for me,” she said. “We don’t know if our pieces will be effective, but it’s an interesting challenge.”

In addition to “New and Now,”

there will be a performance of “No Walls” at the Boettcher Center Lawn at 4:30 p.m. on June 23. This free, family friendly, outdoor concert will feature new and previously created works by additional local artists David Taylor’s Zikr Dance Ensemble, Mary Lynn Lewark, Maureen Breeze Dance Theater, Nile H. Russell, Nu-World Contemporary Danse Theatre, Parasol Arts, and Thomas Dance Project.

“As a choreographer, it’s a luxury to be able to just focus on the word side of things, instead of marketing and all that,” said Lewark. “It can be really daunting to put on together a show on your own, and it can be a leap of faith for the dancers.”

For more information, call 720-5091000 or visit www.LoneTreeArtsCenter.org.

Jim Gaffigan is making the trip north to Loveland’s Budweiser Event Center, 5290 Arena Circle, at 7:30 p.m. on June 10. To score tickets, visit www.budweisereventscenter. com/home.

Taste the best of Jeffco restaurants, breweries Sometimes it feels like there’s a new restaurant in Jeffco opening every week. But diners and drinkers looking for a one-stop shop of some of the county’s best places to chow down won’t want to miss the Taste of the West.

The West Metro Chamber of Commerce’s annual Taste of the West will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 7, at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, 15200 W. 6th Ave. Frontage Road in Golden.

Food vendors include Yard House, 240 Union, Enstrom Candies and Espy’s Street Eats. Beverage vendors include Ironworks Brewery and Pub, Flights Wine Café and Vanjak Vodka.

Tickets include unlimited food tastings and 5 alcohol tastings. For tickets and information, visit www. members.westchamber.org/events/ details/taste-of-the-west-2018-11687.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Ryan Adams at Red Rocks Ryan Adams has been one of the most prolific and eccentric alt-rockers of this century, and I say that as a compliment.

No matter what he’s doing in the studio, Adams is rarely anything less than a top-notch live performer, and as someone who has seen him scorch Red Rocks before, it’s the show to see this week.

Ryan Adams will be stopping by Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway, at 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 14.

Opening for Adams is First Aid Kit, a completely lovely Swedish duo that put out one of 2018’s loveliest albums, “Ruins,” in January.

This is a pairing that will make for a fantastic show, so don’t miss it. Get tickets at http://www.redrocksonline.com/events/detail/ryan-adams.

Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he can be reached creader@ coloradocommunitymedia.com.

As the owner of Between the Bones dance studio, Lewark has recently been looking for ways to blend the forms of ballet and gaga, an Israel style of dance. The performance she’s doing is called “Bone House North,” and is inspired by words and images from Seamus Heaney’s poem “Bone Dreams.”

Kevin Gaël Thomas, artistic director and choreographer of Thomas Dance Project, has firsthand experience with Denver’s festival circuit, since he created the Thomas Dance Project to perform at these events. But he’s also performed as a soloist with the Colorado Ballet.

“I want to create choreography that can inspire the community and serve a greater purpose,” Thomas explained. “I’m not a politician or a doctor, but I think using art to create humanitarian works can serve that larger purpose.”

For his contribution to “No Walls,” Thomas will be performing “Requiem,” which uses the music of French jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt to express the sorrow and loss of the Holocaust.

For all the choreographers and dancers, the festival isn’t just an opportunity to perform — it is also a chance to connect with peers and new audiences alike, and further along the goal of making Denver a dance hub.

“This is a great opportunity for all kinds of dancers to come together,” Demaree said. “I hope audiences will want to investigate and celebrate Denver’s dance world after seeing all we have.”

Wildlife officials remind residents to be bear aware Seeking food sometimes will bring animals into homes

WHAT TO DO AROUND BEARS IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS Tips from Colorado Parks and Wildlife to keep bears at bay: Camping • A bear will try to eat anything that smells like food. Even things like cherry lip balm can attract a bear. Keep food, beverages and toiletries in airtight containers and keep them in lockers, the trunk of your car or bear-proof containers.

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With summer approaching, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is encouraging residents statewide to take measures to avoid unwanted encounters with bears.

The department has received eight reports of residential bear encounters, though the numbers through May are still unofficial.

Last year, the department received 19 calls in the same time frame.

Rebecca Ferrell of Colorado Parks and Wildlife said the high numbers last year were due to a late freeze, which forced bears to search for food in residential areas more than usual.

The only bear species native to Colorado is the black bear, which despite the name, can sometimes look brown, blond or cinnamon in color, according to CPW. The average weight of a male black bear is 275 pounds, while females average 175 pounds.

Black bears are most active from mid-March through early November, according to CPW, which cautions campers that most areas west

• Double-bag trash and lock in a vehicle or bear-proof container.

• Scrape grill grates after use, clean dishes and clean up any waste or trash near your campsite.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife cautions Front Range residents to be bear aware this time of year.

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE of I-25 are in bear country.

The initial reports serve as a reminder to area residents of what has become a growing problem in the sprawling communities around Denver.

Residents in more urban parts of Jefferson and Douglas counties can often be complacent when it comes to bear awareness in their own backyards, authorities say.

WOW!!!

YOU CAN BUY A NEW FURNACE FOR $995* Buy A New $3,495 TRANE 80% Furnace For $995* Or A New $6,495 TRANE 95% Furnace For $1,995*

Andy Hough, the environmental rescources coordinator for Douglas County’s Division of Open Space and Natural Resources, said food is the main attractant for bears, which by late summer, can need about 20,000 calories a day to store up for their winter hibernation. Most of a bear’s calories come from berries, plants, grasses and nuts, but they will also eat insects and scavenged carcasses, according to CPW. If a bear is just passing through, Hough said to enjoy it from a distance.

Once a bear starts rummaging through trash or otherwise coming close to human habitat, it’s important to negatively reinforce the bear’s actions, according to Hough.

From a safe distance or location, residents can try scaring the bear to discourage it. Things like blowing an airhorn or throwing rocks at the bear can be a negative reinforce-

• Lock doors and windows of your vehicles.

Bears can see a cooler through the window of a car and will try to get to the food inside it.

• If there are signs or if a park official warns of a bear in the area, listen and avoid hiking or camping there.

Hiking • Hike with friends. A bear can be alerted by the conversation and noise of a small group. Keep dogs leashed.

• Leave headphones at your car or the campsite to stay alert of your surroundings.

• Never feed a bear.

• Avoid forage areas, like berry bushes, in the late summer and fall. ment, and the bear will learn it is not supposed to do what it is doing.

Allowing it to rummage through trash and leave with a full stomach would be a positive reinforcement and the bear may come back.

Connect kids with cycling Strider balance bikes are a popular way for young children to learn to ride a bike. Their simple, low-to-the-ground design allows youngsters to focus on balance, leaning and steering, while using foot propulsion as opposed to pedals. Then it’s a much easier transition to a bicycle with pedals, and there’s no

need for training wheels.

Apex Park and Recreation District offers Strider bike camps and lessons in June and July. Camps for children ages 2-3, 3-5 and 4-6 meet at Secrest Recreation Center with three five-day sessions during the summer. Camps meet for an hour each day and include learning, fun, socialization and instruction.

Bikes are provided during camp.

The Apex Therapeutic Recreation Division also offers special needs bike lessons, using Strider Bikes, for ages 7 and up to learn to ride on two wheels, gain confidence and bike handling skills. Strider bikes also help with the development of spatial awareness, balance and basic motor skills so that everyone can reach their maximum riding potential. There are two sessions of special needs bike lessons in July.

For details and to register for these activities, visit ApexPRD.org.

For those participating in the Strider Bike Camps who might be ready for some more excitement, the 2018 Strider Cup World Championship is coming to Boulder on July 20-21.

Strider Cup Races give small children a chance to put their skills to the test at several stops across the United States and worldwide. This unique race series caters directly to children 2-6 years old who want to experience the thrill of racing. Children of all sizes and skill levels are welcome to participate.

The Arvada Chamber of Commerce hopes to break the Guinness Book of World Record for the largest hula at this year’s Sand in the City event planned for June 23 and 24 at Ralston Park in Arvada.

The current record is held by Miyokojima City in Okinawa, Japan with 1,509 participants. In order to break the record, the Arvada Chamber of Commerce must gather at least 1,510 people to participate in a five minute choreographed hula dance.

“We just really wanted something new and exciting this year,” said Samantha Geerdes, event director for the Arvada Chamber of Commerce. “Sand in the City is a great event, but this is a new reason to come out.”

In order to compete the record attempt, the chamber

Sand in the City attendees will attempt to break a world record for the World’s Largest Hula at this year’s event.

COURTESY PHOTO needs 40 stewards to help monitor the group and make sure participants are following the guidelines correctly to break the record. That’s

one steward per every 50 participants.

The record attempt will be followed by a traditional luau.

But one of the main attractions of Sand in the City is the sand sculptures.

First Jim Glasmann Scholarship awarded Prize named in honor of longtime Pomona school resource officer STAFF REPORT

Merall “Mimi” Sawaked was awarded the first Jim Glasmann Scholarship, named for the former Pomona High School school resource officer who died shortly after he retired last year.

The Northey Foundation started the scholarship fund to honor Glasmann and his nearly 40 years of service to the students and Arvada community. The $2,000 scholarship is available only to Pomona seniors.

To qualify for the scholarship, Sawaked had to maintain a certain grade-point average and complete community service hours.

“I applied because I’m in the criminal

justice program at Warren Tech, and Officer Glasmann was close to me and my family,” Sawaked said. “Both of my sisters got their driver’s licenses with him. He was just a huge part of our community.”

The Northey Foundation was started to honor and preserve the memory of W. Michael Northey, an Arvada police office who was killed in the line of duty. The foundation provides financial assistance to officer and their families in times of crisis, and also provides scholarship to graduates of Arvada high schools.

A statement from the Northey Foundation Board of Directors states, “The Michael Northey Foundation is honored to announce Mimi Sawaked as the first recipient of the Jim Glasmann Memorial Scholarship. Her student leadership, criminal justice studies, and community involvement would make Officer Glasmann very proud. Congratulations again Mimi and good luck with all your future endeavors.”

RED ROCKS CONCERTS THE WORLD’S GREATEST PINK FLOYD SHOW

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Students in Robert Karr’s applied imagination class at Moore Middle School will have new 3D printers and a 3D scanner next school year thanks to a $4,800 grant awarded to Karr and the school by CenturyLink.

“The grant is the bridge that makes the class a reality,” said Karr, who launched the class for seventh and eight grade students two years ago.

The class focuses on the engineering design process — a 21st century shop class. Students are introduced to digital design and 3D printing and the classroom offers a maker space for students to explore the creative process.

Karr was one of 32 Colorado teachers to revive a grant from the CenturyLink Teachers & Technology program, which will award $145,000 in Colorado this year in support of classrooms in need and enhancing the innovative use of technology in schools.

“For me it means I’m allowing the kids that much more exposure and places to put their hands and be able to see what their idea shape up,” Karr said.

“The biggest thing is increasing the machines to student ratio, so they have a little bit more ownership.”

Science teacher Kelley Staggs at North Arvada Middle School also received a $4,990 grant from the Teachers & Technology program to be used for Project Based Learning in the maker space classroom. The Maker Space will encourage students to work collaboratively to use technology to solve multiple engineering, coding, robotic, and visual challenges.

The lab is a place where students of all abilities and backgrounds can take their own idea and create something new, find ways to solve problems, and stretch their thinking outside the box. Specifically, the grant will go toward providing iPad minis for using iMovie and green screen technology, as well as, programming Sphero robotics.

With the grant money, they will also purchase Chromebooks and Makey Makey invention kits for learning circuitry and computer coding and create a 3D printing station.

A Two kayakers paddle down Clear Creek in Golden during a kayak event last year.

CHRISTY STEADMAN

Kayak contest, downriver race part of rodeo series Colorado Whitewater community events take place June 13, 20, 27 in Golden STAFF REPORT

Colorado Whitewater’s 2018 Golden Community Rodeo Series takes place June 13, June 20 and June 27 at Clear Creek White Water Park, 1201 10th St. in Golden.

The first two events of the series

will be a freestyle kayak competition. The last one will be a Fun Downriver Race, in which all river sport devices — kayaks, canoes, stand up paddle boards and mini-me rafts — are welcome to participate.

The Golden Community Rodeo Series welcomes competitors of all skill levels, with the exception of pros. Participants must be at least 8 years of age to compete.

All three days are spectatorfriendly and the entire community is welcome to watch the competitions for free. It is free for anybody to compete in the Golden Community Rodeo Series, but all com-

petitors must be current Colorado Whitewater members for insurance purposes. A booth to renew or sign up will be available at each day of the event. Cost is $30, and includes entry to compete in all three Golden Community Rodeo Series events and a one-year membership to Colorado Whitewater.

Advance registration to compete is not necessary. Registration for each day’s event begins at 5 p.m.

The competition will begin shortly afterwards.

Faith Christian run ends just short of title game STAFF REPORT

It was a pleasantly surprising run for the Faith Christian Eagles this year, as the baseball team, asking much of new freshman players, came within a couple runs of an appearance in the state 3A title game.

The Eagles series came to an abrupt landing June 2, after losing to Lamar 3-1.

The game was a rematch of a May 25 playoff game, where Faith Christian had won 2-0. That loss had sent the Lamar Savages to the ‘losers bracket’ side of the tourney where

they had won two in a row, including a 6-5 squeaker past eventual champ University, to play Faith for the shot at the title.

The Faith squad on the other hand, had beaten Kent Denver, Lamar, and Eaton (5-4) so far in the state tourney, held in Greeley this year. The team’s one stumble had been an extra-innings loss 6-5 to University.

The June 2 defensive battle went the way of Lamar, thanks to a double by C. Ebverhardt and a triple

by Lucas Watson helped give the Savages a three run lead by the bot-

tom of the third inning.

Freshman Eagle Garrett Everett hit a double off of a very stingy Lamar defense, and was later batted home by junior Michael Thorne for the team’s lone run.

That defense did not hold up to a determined University squad in the 3A title match later that day though, as University won that rematch, 21-2.

Lamar ends the season at 24-3, as the state runner-up.

Faith Christian ends the season with an overall record of 21-5, and a league title.

fter five days of scrutinizing the state baseball tournaments at All-City Field, I have a few observations.

The facility is one of the best for high school baseball, and it sure has changed since I played on the field decades ago.

There used to be bleachers around the field, which didn’t have grass on the infield surrounding the pitcher’s mound.

All-City is well groomed, well maintained and an excellent venue to host the most OVERTIME important games of the season.

A heavy rain fell the evening of May 28 after the 5A finals. Puddles were all around the perimeter of the stadium May 29 prior to the start of one of Jim Benton the 4A Final Four games, but the All-City ground crew arrived at 5:30 a.m. and the field was playable for the start of the 9 a.m. game.

The scoreboard didn’t work for the first 4A game between Valor Christian and Cheyenne Mountain on May 30 but Xcel came out, found the problem and the scoreboard was working for the second game.

One problem this spring has been finding a place to park and still allow enough time to walk to the field to see the first pitch.

The University of Denver purchased the land that used to be the west parking lot from the Denver Public School and is building a tennis facility.

Fans, players, coaches, parents, media and well-wishers have to find places to park east of the field.

For years, I have parked in the lot near the softball field east of the field, but now people have discovered my spot.

Crowds for the 5A Final Four games were good and some people watched standing on the concrete barriers just down the left-field line and other fans sat on cars parked beyond the outfield fence.

There were even people watching the games while standing on the piles of dirt located around the field. Instead of Rockpile tickets like the Colorado Rockies sell, the CHSAA should have sold Dirtpile tickets.

BEAR FROM PAGE 20

“That’s bad behavior,” said Hough, who spent 11 years as a game warden and has experience trapping and dealing with bears. “Just like a child, they need reprimand.”

An estimated 50 percent of bear encounters aren’t called in to authorities, because of a person’s fear of being responsible for a bear’s death. Hough said only problem bears are euthanized, meaning bears who meet one of the two following criteria: If the bear has attacked a person or if it has been relocated once and intrudes on a residence again.

In 2017, Colorado Parks and Wildlife euthanized more than 160 bears and relocated more than 100 following encounters in people’s homes and yards as well as on campsites, hiking trails and

roads.

Last month, there were multiple media reports of encounters with bears in Colorado.

• On May 14, a 5-year-old girl in Grand Junction was attacked by a bear in her yard. She was taken to a hospital and was recently released to recover at home. The bear was caught and euthanized.

• A bear was euthanized in Pitkin May 18 after it became stuck in a post office building. It was the bear’s second strike, the first coming in Buena Vista.

• On May 23, a woman driving eastbound on I-70 in Jefferson County hit and killed a bear with her SUV. • Also on May 21, two bears climbed into the basement of a Jefferson County resident’s home in Pine. They were gone before authorities arrived.

Ferrell said with the recent bear encounters, it’s important for residents to exercise extreme caution, even if it might seem tedious.

“It takes a little bit of extra effort, it feels a little bit like a pain, but it’s worth it,” she said.

Ferrell recommends locking trash bins and being mindful of outdoor pet food bowls and bird feeders. Even something as simple as cleaning an outdoor grill can go a long way in preventing a bear intrusion.

“Bears in general have a natural wariness and fear of humans ... however bears are super motivated,” Ferrell said.

“Their entire existence revolves around food source motivation and when they find that food source, they will keep coming back.”

The resident in the Pine incident said he kept trash cans in the basement, and Ferrell noted that sometimes even that precaution isn’t enough.

“You never know,” Ferrell said.

“We do want people to understand we’re in Colorado and there are wildlife among us.”

One thing that was evident in the four 5A games I saw and three 4A games is that pitchers were not shy about pitching inside to move back batters who tend to crowd the plate.

There were 16 batters hit by pitches in four 5A games and nine more in three 4A contests.

Some of the hit batters occurred because pitchers have to throw inside to get batters off the plate, lack of control results in hit batters, and the fact that in a double-elimination tournament you oftentimes have fourthand fifth-line players on the mound is a factor.

Keeping Golden ‘alive after 5’ Downtown Golden to offer more shopping and special events

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Summer will soon be in full swing, and some downtown merchants are partnering to provide locals and tourists a truly Golden weekend.

“Golden has so much to offer and we wanted to highlight it this summer,” said Donna Owen, owner of Avenue Gifts and a member of the Downtown Golden Merchant Partners.

Golden Weekends will be a new way for residents and visitors to experience downtown on Friday and Saturday evenings. It is being sponsored by the Downtown Development Authority and a new group made up of local business owners calling themselves the Downtown Golden Merchant Partners.

Golden Weekends will take place 5-8 p.m. every Friday and Saturday evening, June 1 to Aug. 31, except for the first Saturday of each month because of the Super Cruise and during Buffalo Bill Days weekend, July 26-29. Activities will take place along Washington Avenue between 11th and 14th streets and on the side streets one block east and west of Washington.

IF YOU GO To learn more about the events for Golden Weekends, visit www.goldentoday.com or www.visitgolden.com.

Free parking in the immediate area is available in the evenings.

“What we want to do is invite our customers and visitors to have a leisurely evening exploring downtown in the extra summer daylight,” said Roger Tapia, owner of Creekside Jewelers and a member of the Downtown Golden Merchant Partners.

Entertainment for Golden Weekends includes live music on street corners and free carriage rides. More than 25 downtown businesses — including restaurants, retail and others — will extend their business hours and offer specials, such as in-store demonstrations, samples, meet-and-greets, wine tastings, etc.

“It’s up to each individual merchant to provide something special and unique” in their store, said Pam Eggemeyer, owner of Spirits in the Wind Gallery and a member of the Downtown Golden Merchant Partners.

Supreme Court rules on side of Lakewood baker Refusal to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding triggered lawsuit

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Lakewood’s Masterpiece Cakeshop in a case that LGBTQ advocates and religious freedom advocates alike have been eyeing closely.

Masterpiece owner Jack Phillips has been part of the passionate debate over religious freedom and equal rights since 2012, when he declined to make a custom wedding cake for same-sex couple Charlie Craig and David Mullins, citing his religious beliefs.

However, those looking for a sweeping decision on these larger issues may come away disappointed. In its 7-2 decicsion in the Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission case, the Supreme Court decided that the commission’s actions violated the Free Exercise Clause.

Justices Ginsburg and Sotomayor were the two dissenting voices in the ruling, which was issued on June 4, and Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion for the court. In it, he said the state’s Civil Rights Commission did not consider Phillip’s case free of religious bias.

“When the Colorado Civil Rights Commission considered this case, it did not do so with the religious neu-

After Phillips refused to bake the wedding cake, the couple filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission stating that Phillips violated the state’s public accommodations law that specifically prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation.

The commission ruled against Phillips in May 2014 and the appeals court upheld the decision in May 2015.

In the appeals court decision, Judge Daniel Taubman said Masterpiece is free to continue to share its religious beliefs — including not recognizing same-sex marriage.

“However, if it wishes to operate as a public accommodation and conduct business within the State of Colorado, (Colorado law) prohibits it from picking and choosing customers based on their sexual orientation,” Taubman wrote.

In September, the Department of Justice filed a brief on behalf of Phillips, agreeing with his argument that

his cakes are a form of artistic expression and he can’t be forced to make something that would be contrary to his beliefs.

The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, and oral arguments began on Dec. 5.

Colorado’s branch of the American Civil Liberties Union said it wasn’t the outcome the group was hoping for, but tweeted “The Court did not rule that the Constitution gives a right to discriminate,” and added “Colorado law prohibits discrimination based on who you are. We’re confident the courts will once again rule that businesses don’t have a right to discriminate.”

Phillips worked Monday at his bakery, but directed media questions to his lawyers with the Alliance Defending Freedom.

Alliance Defending Freedom, a nonprofit legal organization that “advocates for the right of people to freely live out their faith” and represented Phillips before the Supreme Court, called the commission’s 2014 decision a way to “punish Phillips for living and working consistent with his religious beliefs about marriage.”

“Jack serves all customers; he simply declines to express messages or celebrate events that violate his deeply held beliefs,” said Kristen Waggoner, the alliance’s senior counsel.

“Creative professionals who serve all people should be free to create art consistent with their convictions without the threat of government punishment.”

is not doing its First Friday street fairs this year, but the Downtown Golden Merchant Partners still wanted to do something to thank patrons and vitalize the downtown experience.

And if this first year is successful, the Downtown Golden Merchant Partners will look into expanding it next year, Owens said.

“It may grow as it evolves on its own,” Tapia said. But “we look for-

ward to its success with our customers because it’s really all about them.”

Golden Weekends is not necessarily an event, Eggemeyer said, but more like creating an ambience.

“The whole objective is to bring people here to experience everything Golden has to offer,” Eggemeyer said.

“Golden’s a wonderful place with a lovely downtown area,” Owen said.

Now, “Golden’s lively days can now roll into lively nights. I’m looking forward to having the stores staying open past 6 so people know that Golden is alive after 5 p.m.”
