Pinwheels turN AwAreNess Nonprofit selling pinwheels for Child Abuse Prevention Awareness month

By Crystal Anderson

canderson@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Soon, images of blue and silver will be turning across windows, walls, fields and lawns in Arvada as pinwheel gardens begin to bloom.

The month of April is national child abuse prevention awareness month, and throughout April, the Ralston House, an Arvada nonprofit providing services to sexually and physically abused children and teens, is selling blue and silver pinwheels to encourage abuse awareness and prevention and raise funds.

“Pinwheels are happy,” Ashley Irlando, development officer at the Ralston House said. “They’re not sad, as they’re being the sign for hope and healing — they’re really unique.”

Started in 2011, the Ralston House Pinwheel program sells individual and sets of pinwheels to citizens and businesses throughout the Front Range, encouraging them to create gardens of blue and silver in support of child

abuse prevention awareness. Over the last four years, organizers have seen the program grow and expand throughout the community. Since its inception, the program has raised more than $61,000 benefiting their programs and services, and organizers hope to raise an additional $40,000 this year.

“It’s a really unique way for people to make a difference,” Irlando said.

“You never know who you’re going to talk to that one; might need our services or two; might know someone who does.”

As part of the program, participants receive a kit, or a box of instructions and suggestions on ways to plant the pinwheels, sell the pinwheels and advertise the pinwheels. To show off the pinwheels, businesses throughout the Front Range will plant gardens of pinwheels wherever they are visible, outside, inside, or on top of a cupcake, to creatively show off their support for the Ralston House.

“We try and keep it fun,” said Hannah Jackson, general manager at Rheinlander Bakery, “Each week we do a

vanilla cupcake with a pinwheel on top, and we do a kid’s favorite every week, such as Oreo and twist, with $1 of each cupcake sold going back to the Ralston House.”

From large gardens around Faith Bible Chapel and Northglenn High School to the small individual pinwheel placed in a window or lawn, the program helps to encourage individuals to be aware of child abuse and organizations, such as the Ralston House, which can help them.

“Child abuse is everybody’s business, and we want people to get involved and know about it,” Irlando said about the program. “Slowing down our front doors is always a big goal.”

Ralston House is selling pinwheels to be planted the month of April promoting hope and healing for abuse victims. The nonprofit has three locations servicing the community, in Arvada, Lakewood and Northglenn.

For more information about the Ralston House or to order pinwheels, contact Ashley Irlando at 720-898-6744.

City Council bans retail marijuana

By Crystal Anderson

canderson@ coloradocommunitymedia.com The Arvada City Council banned retail marijuana shops within the City of Arvada at a regular business meeting, Monday, March 17.

The decision came after council hosted a public hearing on the matter, and went

into effect on March 22, five days following the passing of the ordinance.

According to the ordinance, the city council considered the possible impacts of the operation of non-medical and private marijuana establishments on the City of Arvada and its residents, finding those operations to be a nuisance and unwanted.

“We received several hundred emails

from individuals, and of those, I got one email asking we allow retail sales to occur,” said Mayor Marc Williams, “Our community does not think retail sales are appropriate for Arvada.”

Prior to the decision, the city had a moratorium banning the creation of retail, medical, private clubs and related marijuana establishments, until March 31.

FasTracks is moving full steam ahead.

The Regional Transportation District’s (RTD) FasTracks Community Advisory Council met to discuss the update of the Gold Line and the Olde Town TransitOriented Development site, at a public meeting, Wednesday, March 19, at the Arvada City Hall 8101 Ralston Road.

Around 30 community members showed up to hear the presentations given by Kevin Flynn, RTD’s Eagle Project public information manager, and Tina Lashbrook, Trammel Crow Company’s senior project manager. The presentations featured updates for both projects, including the use of BSNF Railway trains on the Gold Line and the parking structure for the Olde Town TOD project.

Currently, the Gold Line project is one of five rail lines under construction, all set to open in 2016. The Gold Line project is an 11.2-mile, seven-stop commuter rail line that will start at Union Station in Denver and service citizens in Arvada and Wheat Ridge up to Ward Road.

According to Flynn, the project, including the East Rail, North West Rail and the Gold Line, is now 32 percent complete. BSNF Railway trains will also use one track of the Gold Line, and began running along the line in February.

The presentation discussed the release of the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) performed by RTD, which is available for public comment now. Current and upcoming construction projects, including the reconstruction of 64th Avenue between Pecos Street and Federal Boulevard and the Olde Town TOD project, were also discussed.

The Olde Town TOD presentation featured an update on the status of the project. According to Lashbrook, Trammel Crow Company is currently reviewing proposals for the contractor position for the project and will move forward with executing the joint development agreement in April. Construction on the station will begin this summer.

At the end of the presentation, community members asked questions about parking in the Tiller Lot, the height of the station, road closures, and the next steps with the project.

The debate over the ‘nanny state’ If you have ever seen a 1950’s sitcom, a la “Leave it to Beaver,” you know exactly how opponents of perceived “nanny state” government intrusions view some of the bills that have emerged from this legislative session.

“Aw, gee whiz, mom. Do I have to?”

So far this session, we have seen legislation aimed at curbing smoking, tanning and talking on cell phones.

But the bills have a worse winning percentage than the Buffalo Bills. Legislation that sought to ban the sale of cigarettes to folks under 21 failed in a House committee recently, as did a separate effort that would have required drivers to use hands-free devices when talking on their cell phones.

Meanwhile, a bill that prohibits people under 18 from using tanning beds barely passed the House and faces an uncertain fate in the Senate.

The bills have led to fascinating debates among lawmakers over government’s role in the balancing of setting sound public health and safety policy while protecting citizens’ rights to make decisions for themselves – whether they’re bad ones or not.

“To pass a law against everything all the time is, once again, the nanny state,” Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs.

Republicans like Gardner typically don’t like this kind of stuff – bills aimed telling people what they can and can’t do.

But this year’s efforts have blurred political lines.

The under-21 smoking ban bill received Republican sponsorship. And some Democrats opposed both the youth tanning bed ban and the bill that deals with drivers’ use of cell phones.

“There is a streak within Colorado, both among Democrats and Republicans, who have a Libertarian tendency, and I tend to be one of those,” House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, said.

Ferrandino voted against the tanning bill and said he would not have supported the smoking ban bill, either.

“There’s a difference between when it impacts you and you’re making your own decision versus what the impact on what someone else is,” he said.

But the House’s second-in-command disagrees. House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, D-Gunbarrel, voted for the youth tanning bed legislation and supported the effort to ban the sale of smokes to those under 21.

“We act all the time in this body and at all legislative bodies across the country to attempt to improve public health and safety, and this is one pretty good idea that I support,” she said.

Supporters of the so-called “nanny state” bills say the policy proposals aren’t government’s way of telling adults not to run with scissors. They believe they are setting sound public safety policy.

Breaking news: cancer is bad for you.

And smoking and ultraviolet rays cause it.

And the last person you want to be driving behind on the interstate is some dumbbell who is flipping through every conceivable application on his phone while others drive by, flipping him off.

Rep. Jovan Melton, D-Aurora, who sponsored the cell phone legislation, said people once thought that laws requiring people to wear seat belts were also nanny state efforts.

“I think we found that over time that it became acceptable, and now it’s become a complete habit to buckle your seat belt when you get into a vehicle,” Melton said.

“I think its more than just government trying to tell you what to do, but also looking at how can we lower some of our costs by doing some things now.”

But does Joe Public like legislative efforts to curb bad or unhealthy behaviors?

“You have certain constituencies that are very passionate about these issues,” said Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, who used the youth tanning bed bill as an example. “But I can tell you that the people who I represent, it’s not even at the top of their list – don’t even make their list.”

But do politicians practice consistency when they talk about not wanting the government to intrude on people’s affairs?

Republicans will blast government attempts to intervene in a person’s life, but do their views on a woman’s right to choose or support of gay marriage bans confuse the issue?

At the same time, if Democrats want the government to stay out of people’s bedrooms, why is it OK for it be in tanning

rooms?

Ferrandino acknowledges that, on issues like these, “sometimes it becomes a political thing, rather than a fundamental ideology thing.”

“I really appreciate people who are consistent in their Libertarian identity,” the House speaker said.

Efforts to curb bad behaviors have been a staple of state and federal government for a long, long time and I doubt they’re going any where, any time soon.

But does telling someone not to do something that’s bad for them really work?

I’m not sure. But it reminds me of a line from the Dudley Moore classic comedy “Arthur,” when Arthur’s fiance tells the lovable drunk that “a real woman can stop you from drinking.”

“It’d have to be a real big woman,” Arthur said.

7 Things You Must Know Before Putting Your Arvada Home Up For Sale This Spring

Arvada — A new report has just been

Tracy McGinnis softly looks at her son, Brendan, who suffers from Cytomegalovirus, or CMV, a rare birth defect. Photo

Moving forward Mobility vehicle contest gives one family opportunity for hope

By Crystal Anderson

canderson@ coloradocommunitymedia.com To open the world of opportunity to her sons, Brendan, 9 and Declan, 5, Tracy McGinnis entered the Local Heroes contest, hoping to win a handicap accessible van.

McGinnis, whose son, Brendan, has severe cerebral palsy, and is in a wheelchair, owns an older minivan that is not handicap accessible. To go on outings, which is infrequent for the family, McGinnis carries her 80-pound, nearly five-foot tall son to his special needs car seat, and places his wheelchair in the back of her van.

But after developing Rheumatoid Arthritis in her hands and a degenerative disk disease in her lower back, not having a wheelchair-accessible van has made dayto-day mobility increasingly difficult.

“The van I have is not only old, with lights on the dash going off, but the windshield has cracks and I can’t afford to get it fixed,” McGinnis said. “We have to continue to be homebound, and that’s just not fair to them (her sons).”

The Local Heroes contest, which is sponsored by the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA), is a national voting contest held through May 9, for individuals who need a wheelchair accessible vehicle. Following the voting, a

committee will look at the top 10 percent of vote recipients and give away three, brand-new, wheelchair accessible vehicles valued at $50,000.

“A wheelchair van enables him (Brendan) to ride in his wheelchair, and that would be such a godsend,” McGinnis said.

“The world would be open back up for both of the boys and I wouldn’t hesitate to say ‘Hey, let’s go here or there, or let’s just go for a drive.’”

Last year, McGinnis began fundraising for a used, 2011 wheelchair accessible Dodge van, but after losing her home to toxic mold and asbestos contamination, the funds were depleted, making this contest one of the only options left to the family. Since that time, Brendan’s health has weakened and he’s gotten a new, custom wheelchair which is heavier and more difficult for McGinnis to move in and out of her van.

“I hate asking for help,” McGinnis said, “Sometimes you just have to set your pride aside and ask for it; it would be great to see all of Arvada behind him.”

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus affecting individuals of all ages. When contracted through pregnancy, the virus can cause serious defects in the fetus. For Brendan, the virus was contracted through the brain development stage of McGinnis’s pregnancy, resulting in static brain damage, cerebral palsy and lung disease. Brendan also is deaf in one ear, is nonverbal, and has uncontrollable seizures.

Individuals can vote for Brendan daily through May 9 via www.bit.ly/vote4brendan. The winners will be announced in May.

County approves land sell to Arvada business Money made on land deal goes toward new community park

By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com A deal among Arvada, Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District and a manufacturing company will pave the way for the development of a park in South Adams County and keep a large employer in the region.

The Adams County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved to authorize Hyland Hills to sell a parcel of its Clear Creek Valley Park land to Wanco Inc. during its March 10 meeting.

“I see this as a benefit not just to that area but the entire region in that area,” board chair Charles “Chaz” Tedesco said. “I also see it as a benefit of keeping jobs and our companies that support these types of efforts here in Adams County.”

The 86-acre park is between Tennyson Street and Lowell Boulevard north of Interstate 76 and was acquired with assistance from Adams County Open Space grant money beginning in 2002. The district developed a multi-use design plan for the area to include trails and open space but

it has not been developed into a publicly accessible park yet.

Wanco, which manufactures highway safety and traffic control products, approached Hyland Hills about purchasing 5.2106 acres of its land so it could expand its current facility at 5870 Tennyson St. in Arvada by 90,000 square feet. Wanco employs 200 and the expansion would result in 75 more jobs.

Wanco is buying the land for the appraised value of $397,000, and is donating an additional $350,000 to Hyland Hills for the development of the park. The City of Arvada, which wants to keep Wanco in its borders, is contributing $500,000 for the park development.

Hyland Hills plans to use the funding as leverage to generate an additional $2.5 million in funding through grants or other money raising efforts.

“Parks make a healthy community, it’s a large park, it’s a regional park, we are going to keep a business in Adams County,” said Commissioner Eva Hendry. “We’re going to create more jobs for Adams County residents, which you know we do have a higher unemployment rate in Adams County than we do anywhere else, so I believe that is extremely important. It’s kind of a winwin for the entire community.”

opinions / yours and ours

Yesterday was so yesterday It has been a while since I shared a quote or thought from my mentor Zig Ziglar, and as I prepared for this column I was reminded of something that Mr. Ziglar used to remind us of all the time.

He would say, “We cannot make any more yesterdays, but we can make all of the brand-new tomorrows that we possibly can.”

I was thinking of this because I found myself in the “woulda, coulda, shoulda” trap as I thought about the ways I handled things over the past 12 months, opportunities I might have missed, activities I wanted to pursue and challenges I needed to overcome.

Have you ever been there? We ask ourselves things like, “Why didn’t I say this?” or “Why didn’t I do that?” “Life would be so different if I only did things differently.”

And many other such statements and examples.

Zig used to also say: “Failure is an event and not a person. Yesterday really did end

last night.” So when we can separate ourselves from what we could have or should have done or said, and realize that tomorrow is a brand-new day, our entire view of the world would shift. Optimism and hope would replace our regret and fear.

Tomorrow is filled with promise.

Tomorrow is filled with hope. We are in control of how we see our future and what we choose to do in the pursuit of our life goals, our careers, our relationships and our health. Tomorrow has distanced itself from yesterday when it comes to

our errors, poor judgment and mistakes.

Tomorrow offers encouragement and builds upon the successes of our yesterdays. When was the last time we took an inventory of all of the great accomplishments, achievements, and goals where we exceeded our own expectations? Looking at past successes builds confidence and serves as a launching point for our next journey and path forward to greatness.

So we talked about yesterdays, and we talked about tomorrow. What about today? What can we do today to remember or successes of yesterday, learn from and overcome our prior mistakes, and ensure that our tomorrows are filled with hope, encouragement, opportunity and achievement? Mr. Ziglar talked about the fact that we cannot create any more new yesterdays, but we can create all of the brandnew tomorrows of our life. And it starts with today. We can actually create the next brand-new 30 seconds of our lives, the next brand-new five minutes, the next new

hour, and all we have to do is start.

We can start to let go of the past or build upon our past, and the choice is ours. Today, as you read this column, think about where you are. Think about your own story — are we still living in the glory days or many years ago? Are we living and feeling the hurts of yesterday? Or are we placing our stake in the ground today and committing to our future, the best and brightest future that is waiting for each and every one of us?

Life is a series of choices. Are you choosing to live or learn from your yesterdays? Are you planning today for your successes of tomorrow? Either way, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we plan today for greatness tomorrow, it really will be a better than good week.

question of the week

What are your plans for spring break?

During this time of year, students from elementary school all the way to college get a week or two off from their studies during spring break. We asked students at Front Range Community College in Westminster what their plans were for spring break, which is March 24-28.

I’ll be busy working all week here at Front Range or at the Chop House restaurant.

Keith Kersley

Mostly I’ll be skating. I’m sponsored by Verve, so I’ll be doing some filming.

Clyde George

I plan look for a job and try to work out more. I want to keep my New Year’s resolution.

Jorge Alonso

I’ll be working at an after school program in Boulder.

But it’s only for about four or five hours a day.

Postal service delivers, above and way beyond The numbers 2, 2, 3, 4, and 8, when arranged in a certain order, comprise a ZIP code in Detroit. When arranged in this same order, they also indicate the block, building, and apartment numbers of my nephew’s home in Japan.

I know about the Detroit ZIP code because of an error I made when I mailed my nephew a Valentine’s Day package.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) processes addresses from the bottom up, starting with the five numbers in the ZIP code. The first three digits refer to the sectional center facility where mail is processed, which is then sorted according to the other digits for delivery.

All of this is important because that’s how my nephew’s mail went to Detroit instead of Japan. Although some countries use U.S. ZIP codes, most have separate postal code systems. In Japan, with what I consider to be great good sense, addresses start with this code and then move down through prefectures, regions, towns, and finally the exact location.

My nephew’s five-digit exact location, because of where it’s placed in his address — at the end — looks just like, well, a U.S. ZIP code. I might have known by the price that my envelope was headed to the wrong place when I only paid $3; the price seemed right to me. (It’s not.)

And although I was surprised when I learned the package would arrive in three days, I figured that with air mail and all, this was also correct. (It wasn’t.)

Perhaps you’ve guessed what happened. When my nephew hadn’t received my package after 15 days, I checked my receipt. His house address had been entered as a ZIP code and the envelope went to Detroit and, because I hadn’t asked for tracking, there wasn’t any way to find it, though it would likely come back to me eventually via my return address.

Then, 23 days after I sent the package, I got an email from my nephew that he had received it at his home in Japan. Flabbergasted, I called the post office in Detroit and learned that a worker who sorts mail had spotted the error and re-routed the package to Japan before it even left the processing facility for delivery.

I didn’t get to talk to this kind and competent woman, but I asked the person on the phone — who seemed surprised that I would be so grateful to someone who was only doing her job — to pass on my profuse thanks. But her job meant a great deal to me.

To be sure, the fault was mine. The USPS requires that the last line of an address for an item mailed domestically for foreign delivery is the name of the country. Duh. And I can’t help but wonder … was additional postage needed?

I won’t make this mistake again. I will print J A P A N in big bold letters. I also won’t expect to send mail to my nephew for $3. And although I won’t expect the USPS to always correct my mistakes, I’m very glad that someone in Detroit cared so much about an auntie in Colorado who just wanted to send Valentine’s wishes to her nephew in Japan.

Marijuana regulations tightened Hickenlooper signs bills, one that aims to keep pot away from kids

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper signed two bills into law on March 17 that tighten regulations of marijuana sales and aim to make it more difficult for the drug to be consumed by children.

House Bill 1122 will require that medical marijuana that is sold in edible form — such as pot brownies or cookies — are wrapped in opaque packaging that does not create an “attractive nuisance” for kids.

The law seeks to prevent incidents where children accidentally eat pot-laced

edibles, which can sometimes result in emergency room trips.

“Child-resistant packaging is required for things like Tylenol because it works,” Hickenlooper said during a Capitol press conference.

“You should have no different standard for marijuana.”

Regulations that the LegisReport lature put into place last year as a result of the 2012 passage of Amendment 64 — which legalized recreational pot use in Colorado — already includes strict packaging requirements for retail sales. This law sets that same standard for medical marijuana sales.

Capitol

Hickenlooper was joined by Dr. Sam Wang, a pediatric emergency room physician at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Wang said there has been an increase in the number of children who are hospitalized due to accidental ingestion of marijuana.

“Symptoms vary quite a bit, anywhere from mild symptoms, a little bit of sleepiness, but we’ve had some severe cases where children have actually had an inability to breathe adequately, requiring tubes.”

The bill also gives retail marijuana store owners the ability to confiscate a fake ID from a person under 21 who attempts to buy the drug. Additionally, the bill increases penalties for those who are caught selling marijuana to minors.

“Everybody came together on this and our kids will be better, safer and kept away from marijuana as a result,” Rep. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, a bill spon-

sor said.

Hickenlooper also signed Kagan’s House Bill 1229 into law, which will allow local jurisdictions to submit fingerprints of those applying for a retail marijuana license to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.

Hickenlooper said the law will weed out “bad actors” with criminal records, who try to gain access into the retail pot industry.

Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, a Senate sponsor of House Bill 1122, said that legislators will continue to examine laws that regulate the newly created marijuana industry, as more becomes known about the industry.

“This is probably not the last time you will hear from us because we will probably find these clean-up bills as we go through the years, after marijuana… has become a norm in Colorado,” Newell said.

Under 21 smoking ban fails in committee Opponents argued that adults should make decisions for themselves

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Legislation that would have banned the sale of cigarettes to persons under 21 died in a House committee on March 19.

The bill received support from those who believe that smoking is a society ill and who want to see more done to keep cigarettes away from youths.

But the effort fell one vote short of passing the House Finance Committee, on the heels of testimony from witnesses and comments from lawmakers who felt the legislation went too far in dictating

decisions that adults usually make for themselves.

“I come down on the side of treating 18 to 20 year olds as adults,” said Rep. Daniel Kagan of Cherry Hills, the only Democrat to vote against the bill.

Right now, it’s legal for persons who are at 18 to purchase cigarettes. The bill would have raised that age to 21 — although it would have provided a grandfather clause for persons who are 18 when the law would have gone into effect.

In defending the effort, Rep. Beth McCann, D-Denver, a bill sponsor, cited testimony from anti-smoking advocates, who said that smoking-related illnesses costs governments millions of dollars in health spending each year.

“The harm is not to just those who smoke, the harm is to all of us,” McCann said.

McCann also said that “the military is taking a pretty aggressive view of smoking,” telling committee members that armed forces branches have introduced anti-smoking programs aimed at curbing soliders’ smoking habits.

But Brian Soule, a combat veteran from Colorado Springs, told the committee that he found the bill “insulting.” Soule cited the names of soldiers who became war heroes before the age of 21 and asked why lawmakers would question their ability to make decisions for themselves.

“To say that these people cannot make good decisions about what’s good for them is pretty insulting to a lot of great Americans,” Soule said.

Others who testified in opposition to the bill said that businesses, particularly convenience stores, would be hurt by the legislation.

State revenue would also be affected.

The bill’s fiscal note indicates that the state would have lost about $925,000 in tobacco tax revenue for the 2014-2015 fiscal year, but the revenue losses for the following fiscal year would have been about $3.7 million.

But money isn’t the only thing, argued bill supporters.

“There would be a short-term fiscal hit, but in the long term, it will help us,” said Rep. Mike Foote, D-Lafayette.

Kagan joined all six Republicans on the House Finance Committee to vote against the bill, many of whom made similar arguments against the legislation.

“We’re creating a large case to where most 19 and 20 year olds don’t feel like they’re actual adults for a myriad of reasons,” Rep. Kevin Priola, R-Henderson said.

Arvada Center’s latest examines Judy Garland

By Clarke Reader

creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Every life is a complicated tapestry of events and people, and few had a more public battle with her demons than Judy Garland.

Peter Quilter’s “End of the Rainbow” shines a light on Garland’s final months, encompassing all the talent, wit and humanity that she brought to everything she did.

The Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., is hosting the regional premiere of “End of the Rainbow” through April 13. Performances are Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday at 1 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m.

“There’s something called ‘factual fiction’ which is when a story is not necessarily true, but it has been told so many times that it begins to be true,” explained director Rod A. Lansberry. “A lot of people know stories about Judy that may or may not be true, and the play itself is an example of factual fiction.”

The story takes place in London in December 1968 and Garland (Tari Kelly) is with her young new fiance Mickey Deans (Zachary Clark) and her devoted pianist Anthony (Jonas Cohen).

Garland is preparing for what she hopes will be a comeback in “The Talk of the Town,” but her past struggles with addiction and relationships still affect everyone around her.

The show features some of Garland’s most famous numbers, including “Come Rain or Come Shine” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”

Kelly — who was an understudy for Liza Minnelli in “The Boy from Oz” — said that she spent a lot of time watching footage of Garland’s performances and interviews and studying addiction to get in touch with who Garland was.

“Judy wants to be protected, but gets upset with people who try to protect her,” Kelly said. “She managed to stay very funny, and I think this is a true portrayal of a

human being. People put her on this pedestal, but I wanted to show someone who dealt with addiction and insecurities.”

According to Clark, the challenge with playing Deans was finding a balance between some of the more unflattering accounts of his relationship with Garland, and Deans WHAT: “End of the Rainbow” autobiography, WHERE: Arvada Center which paints 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada perhaps too WHEN: Through April 13. rosy an image Tuesday - Satruday - 7:30 p.m. of the man.

“He reSaturday - Sunday - 2 p.m. ally thinks he COST: $53-$73 knows what INFORMATION: 720-898-7200 or www. he’s doing — arvadacenter.org that he knows how to fix her and put her back on top,” Clark said. “There are a lot of questions about his motivations, and how much affection he actually has for her.”

As opposed to Garland and Deans, Anthony is a fictional character, a kind of composite of different people from Garland’s life, which in some ways made Cohen’s task of creating a character easier because he didn’t need to match it to a real person.

“He adores Judy and feel very protective of her,” Cohen said. “In a way he’s kind of a representation of a whole community of people who really worship her. However, he gets to see the fragile person beneath.”

Both Kelly and Cohen spoke about how the relationship between artists can meld and grow as they work together, which gives Anthony the ability to speak some truths to Garland that many wouldn’t.

Lansberry, Kelly, Clark and Cohen all spoke about how Garland’s story, especially the one presented in “End of the Rainbow” is a tragically timeless one, a story that people can still see today in the untimely deaths of talents like Edith Piaf, Amy Winehouse or Philip Seymour Hoffman.

“There’s a connection and understanding with the audience,” Lansberry said. “It may not be the Judy that the audience thinks they know, but you’re still drawn in by the empathy and sympathy.”

“And Judy can still break your heart with just a word or a note,” Cohen added.

MOUNTAIN PEAK HEARING Better hearing starts right here.

By Clarke Reader

creader@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Jeffco Schools Foundation is giving students of all ages and teachers a chance to show off their work in four different art shows, running now.

The 2014 Equity and Excellence Art Exhibit is running through April 2 at the Jefferson County Education Center, 1829 Denver West Drive, No. 27, in Golden.

The Elementary Art Show is running though March 30 at Red Rocks Community College, 13300 6th Ave. in Lakewood.

The Middle School Arts Exhibits will open on April 9 and run through May 2 at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway, and the High School Art Exhibit will open on April 11 and run through May 9 at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd.

“There is a huge amount of people who participate in these shows,” Anthony “Anton” Delgado, director of marketing with the Foundation, said . “The shows are one of the projects that everyone gets really excited about every year.”

According to Phyllis Bubeck, visual arts teacher at Wayne Carle Middle School and Equity show co-chair — along with Aimee Pickar from Swanson Elementary — the program has grown in its 13 years into something no one quite expected.

Families in attendance at the opening event for the Equity Art Exhibit on March 14. Courtesy photo “We appreciate the opportunity to work with art teachers in Jefferson county schools to exhibit the work of our extraordinary students, ranging from the grades of first through 12th,” she said in an interview. “The Jeffco Schools Foundation Equity and Excellence art exhibit is a wonderful opportunity to display student art work along with a written description that explains the educational process experienced in the classroom.”

Delgado said that not only are the art shows a great chance for students to gain the experience of what is like to see their work on display, it also provide the opportunity for them to build confidence in the value of what they create.

“The foundation started purchasing some of the art, which has been amazing,” he said. “In the high school show, there is also a chance for students to receive scholarships.”

Participating in the shows are a rare chance for both the community and students, and one that Bubeck said everyone should embrace.

Lyrically yours Arvada man uses musical gifts to send positive message

By Crystal Anderson

canderson@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Music, the most powerful non-prescription anti-depressant available today, means something to people.

And for Gospel rap artist, Corey Clark, it is inspiring, and encourages hope. ”People inspire me,” Clark said. ”I make my music for the people; I want to inspire them, encourage them, give them hope that will lift them up when they’re down.”

Clark, now a national recording artist with Calvary Hill Music and Tate Music Group, knew he had an affinity for rap and hip-hop music at an early age, and began rapping at the age of 12. After falling in love with the beats and sounds of the genre, and practicing for years, Clark decided not to pursue a career in the industry — until he made a life-changing decision.

“When I gave my life to the Lord, I wanted to do something positive for the community,” Clark said. “I want-

Party - 6 p.m.

COST: Free ed to be able to make a difference in the community and one of the ways I decided to do that was to make good clean music.”

Since making that decision in 1991, Clark has developed his faith and a career in gospel rap, where he utilizes his life experiences to create music that can inspire and change lives.

“The music really helps us in that through the medium of hip-hop, it allows us to reach and tap into a community that isn’t normally reached,” said Age Sandoval, Corey’s mentor and senior pastor at Tha Myx International.

Over the past 20 years, Clark has made three studio albums, is in the process of making his fourth and is working on developing an international tour. When he’s not in the studio, Clark says he likes to be with his family, and work with different community organizations, such as Tha Myx, where he will teach a hip hop service once a month; leadership training; mentoring; and working with adjudicated and at-risk youth.

“It (working with community organizations) goes hand in hand, music is just a tool that we use with these things,” Clark said. “The thing that’s most important to me is reaching and changing peoples’ lives.”

Clark’s music is derived from inspiration gathered from his own life, the bible, his faith and those around him.

His music has clean lyrics and doesn’t talk about drugs, sex or violence.

For Clark, making music is ultimately about serving and helping others and living out his faith through the poetry, beats and sounds of rap and hip hop music.

“I wanted to do something different; I didn’t want to be like everybody else.” Clark said. “I wanted to share my experiences with people, and through my music, change peoples lives.”

sponsive government should rejoice,” 2090 Coalition Co-Chair Heather Wenger said in a statement. “The newly-elected members of the Jeffco School Board have shown that they put students and the public ahead of special interests.”

The lawsuit started in 2012 and in January of this year, Judge Enquist ruled the property was Lakewood Open Space.

The cost of the lawsuit so far is around $250,000 for Jeffco Schools.

“The three new Jeffco School Board members have repaired the trust that the previous school board had broken with Jeffco residents,” Wenger said in her statement. “Now it is time for the City of Lakewood to apologize to neighbors for spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to try to get rid of this parkland.”

National park tourism in state creates $347.4 million Staff Report A new National Park Service (NPS) report shows that the 5,811,546 visitors to Colorado’s national parks in 2012 spent $347.4 million and supported 4,991 jobs in the state.

“From Mesa Verde to Dinosaur National Monument, the national parks of Colorado attract millions of visitors a year from across the country and around the world,” said Sue Masica, director of NPS’s Intermountain Region, which includes Colorado and seven other states. “Whether these park visitors are out for an afternoon, on a school field trip or taking a long family vacation, they come for a great experience — and they end up spending a little money

along the way, too. This new report confirms that national park tourism is a significant driver in the national economy, returning $10 for every $1 invested in the National Park Service.

This reality makes parks tourism an important factor in Colorado’s economy as well. It’s a result we all can support.”

Colorado’s 12 national parks include: Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Great Sand Dunes, Mesa Verde and Rocky Mountain national parks; Colorado, Dinosaur, Florissant Fossil Beds, Hovenweep and Yucca House national monuments; Bent’s Old Fort and Sand Creek Massacre national historic sites, and Curecanti National Recreation Area.

JEFFCO SCHOOL NEWS IN A HURRY On Thursday, March 20, the Jeffco School Board seemed to finally put to rest the issue of the 2090 Wright St. property. During a special meeting, the board voted to end the lawsuit concerning the ownership of the property, with newly-elected Jeffco School Board members Ken Witt, Julie Williams and John Newkirk voting against continuing the suit.

spending analysis was conducted for the Park Service by U.S. Geological Survey economists Catherine Cullinane Thomas, Christopher Huber and Lynne Koontz. The national report shows $14.7 billion of direct spending by 283 million park visitors in communities within 60 miles of a national park. This spending supported 243,000 jobs nationally — with 201,000 of those jobs in these park “gateway” communities — and had a cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy of $26.75 billion.

According to the report, most visitor spending supports jobs in restaurants, grocery and convenience stores (39 percent), hotels, motels and B&Bs (27 percent), and other amusement and recreation (20 percent).

Jeffco makes waves at Dick Rush Memorial Invitational D’Evelyn, Lakewood and Wheat Ridge all noisemakers at meet

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ coloradocommunitymedia.com THORNTON - Nine Jeffco schools, both 4A and 5A, participated in Saturday’s Dick Rush Memorial Swim-Dive Invitational at Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center.

But none of them came close to Regis Jesuits who won the meet in a landslide with a team score of 301 points, beating 45 other teams for the victory.

Lewis-Palmer took second with a score of 189, Cherry Creek took third with a team score of 180, Highlands Ranch took fourth with a score of 172 and Smoky Hill took fifth with a score of 130.

The top 4A Jeffco finisher was D’Evelyn with a team score of 120 and the top 5A Jeffco team was Chatfield with 84 points.

The Jaguars Daniel Graber was Jeffco’s only event winner and produced Jeffco’s best individual effort taking the 100 Breast with a time of 57.87. Graber capped off the meet by taking second in the 200 Individual Medley with a time of 1:56.22.

But Jeffco had plenty of swimmers push some of the state’s best swimmers for top times including Lakewood’s Aaron Sett.

Sett set two Tigers’ records in both the 200 Free (1:44.86) and 500 Free (4:45.58) and had top eight finished in both individual events.

Sett was also a part of both Lakewood free relays which had top 16 times.

Standley Lake’s Trent Kindvall was the third best diver at the meet with a score of 458.85 and Lakewood’s Colin Shina was the meets 11th best diver with a score of 369.05.

Wheat Ridge finished in the middle of pack as a team with a score of 24 points, but their 200 Free Relay team finished the meet strong with a time of 1:33.53.

And although they didn’t finish as high as D’Evelyn or Regis, Farmers head coach Dean Miller has happy with the way his team finished and think his team is better for participating in the meet.

“I think our guys swam well considering the high level of competition out here,” Miller said. “I also think it was good for our guys to get a chance to see and compete against some of the state’s best.”

Above, Wheat Ridge’s Max Sweeney looks for his time and how his team finished their 200 Medley Relay during Saturday’s Dick Rush Memorial SwimDive Invitational.

Eight from Jeffco earn Daniels Fund Scholarships All eight will have their college covered - and get a laptop too

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ coloradocommunitymedia. com LAKEWOOD - Eight of Jeffco’s finest not only athletes but minds were recognized and awarded with Daniels Fund Scholarships it was announced on Friday.

Wheat Ridge’s Calen Elizabeth Cartlidge and Haydar Yousuf Ibrahim, Lakewood’s Bryan Akira Yoshida, Pomona’s Jack Sale, Alameda’s Khanh Ho Duong, Standley Lake’s Soham Nalin Shah, Dakota Ridge’s Vincent Joseph Rogowski Jaconski and Bear Creek’s Kendall Ann Lundquis all learned Friday they have earned themselves a place in the Daniels Fund Scholarship Program.

The eight Jeffco students were

a part of 260 high school seniors from Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming who were recognized for exceptional character, leadership, and commitment to the community.

All 260 of the Daniels Scholars may attend any accredited nonprofit college or university in the United States, and the program covers the expenses that remain after all other scholarships and financial aid have been applied.

Students also receive a laptop computer.

“We provide Daniels Scholars with resources, encouragement, and support far beyond financial assistance to help them earn a four-year college degree,” Linda Childears, president and CEO of the Daniels Fund said. “This includes personal and professional development, online tools, and networking opportunities to help them succeed and thrive in life.”

According to the release, with this year’s announcement, 3,022

students have received the Daniels Scholarship. At any given time, there are approximately 1,000 Daniels Scholars attending more than 200 colleges and universities in 45 states. More than $108 million in scholarships have been awarded since 2000.

Bill Daniels, a pioneer in cable television known for his generosity to those in need, established the Daniels Fund to provide grants and scholarships in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.

His estate transferred to the Daniels Fund when he died in the year 2000, making it one of the largest foundations in the Rocky Mountain Region.

Do you want to the next Jeffco student to be a Daniels Fund Scholar? Motivated high school seniors graduating in 2015 are encouraged to visit www.DanielsFund.org to apply online for the Daniels Scholarship Program in the fall.

Mustangs rolling strong this soccer season Golden rebounds but Arvada still searching for win

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia. com Mustangs a monster thus far Ralston Valley girls’ soccer has outscored their opponents 24-2 this season.

There latest victim was Chatfield who was beaten by the Mustangs 3-2 Wednesday at North Area Athletic Complex.

The two goals that Chatfield scored were the first two goals they have given up all season. Ralston Valley had shutout their four previous opponents and have turned into a juggernaut as they prepare for 5A Jeffco league play.

The Mustangs (5-0) will play at Bear Creek Tuesday at 6 p.m.

Bulldogs still looking for first win Arvada girls’ soccer is still in search of their first victory of the season after falling to Englewood 7-0 Thursday at Arvada High School.

Englewood had a pair of two goal scorers and the Pirates scored five first half goals.

Two days before the Bulldogs were beat 10-0 Tuesday at Elizabeth High School.

Elizabeth’s Emily Mohlis recorded a hat trick and two other Cardinals had multiple

goal efforts.

Arvada (0-5) will play at Skyview Saturday at 4 p.m.

Golden loses but to 5A opponents After back-to-back wins to get their record back to .500, Golden girls’ soccer dropped both their games last week.

The Demons fell to 5A Standley Lake 3-0 Friday at North Area Athletic Complex.

Perhaps Golden has tired legs from a tough 1-0 loss to Eaglecrest Thursday at NAAC just 24 hours earlier.

But perhaps their is a method to coach Josh Nolkers’ madness, because five of Golden’s six opponents this season have been 5A teams, indicating he is trying to toughen his team up and prepare them for league play.

The Demons (2-4) will play at Valor Christian Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Eagles get back over .500 A pair of seniors scored to propel Faith Christian to a 2-1 victory over The Classical Academy Thursday at Faith Christian High School.

Caroline Jenkins and Madison Batug both scored and the Eagles’ defense was able to hold off the Titans to get their record back over .500.

The win also washes away an ugly 8-0 loss to Evergreen earlier in the week.

Faith Christian (2-1) will play at Lutheran Tuesday at 6 p.m.

Saints rebound with Solis’ hat trick

Arvada’s Lauren Pettit fires a shot off her foot Saturday against Thomas Jefferson. The Bulldogs are still in search of their first win of the season. Photo by Daniel Williams After back-to-back losses to open their season Jefferson girls’ soccer won their last two games.

The Saints beat Aurora West College Prep Academy 5-1 Monday at Jefferson High School.

Jefferson junior Laura Solis scored three goals and sophomore Jasmine Ramos added a goal in the blowout win.

Jefferson also got a 1-0 victory over Sheridan last Friday.

The two wins com after the Saints were outscored 12-0 in their first games of the season.

The Saints (2-2, 1-1 in Region 8 league play) will play at Clear Creek Tuesday, 4 p.m.

Prep sports Scoreboard ARVADA WEST HIGH SCHOOL Seniors Caroline Jenkins and Madison Batug Girls soccer Arvada West 2, Bear Creek 1 With the score tied at the end of regulation 1-1, senior Breanne Johnson scored the game-winning goal in overtime for the 2-1 win. Sophomore Ally Ochs scored the other goal for Arvada West. Both Johnson and senior Amy Hayes had assists. Sophomore goalkeeper Kaity Wooley received the win for Arvada West.

FAITH CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL Girls soccer Faith Christian 2, Classical Academy 1

scored one goal each in the win against Classical Academy. Jenkins also had an assist along with freshman Maya O’Quinn. Faith Christian had a total of 10 shots on goal including four from Jenkins.

RALSTON VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL Girls soccer Ralston Valley 3, Chatfield 2 Ralston Valley went up 1-0 at the half. Chatfield had two unanswered goals to start the second half.

Ralston evened it up with a penalty kick. The game went into double overtime, and Ralston scored the winning goal with two seconds left in the second overtime. Alyssa Kaiser had two goals and one assist. Emma Musson scored the game-winning goal with two seconds left in the 2nd overtime.

Ralston Valley 5, Horizon 0 Sophomore Emma Musson scored two goals in the shut out win over Horizon. Freshman Lindsay Guerrero and sophomores Rachel Bolin and Alaina Snedden each scored a goal.

legal news in a hurry Recall election bill advances

A bill that Democrats say would boost turnout in future recall elections passed a Senate committee on March 21, following a party-line vote.

The bill seeks to marry existing election statutes with language in the state Constitution. The two are at odds when it comes to the recall election process – something that was apparent during last year’s historic legislative recall elections.

The Constitution states that a candidate has up to 15 days prior to Election Day to submit enough signatures to appear on a recall ballot.

The Democrat-sponsored bill would require candidates to submit signatures 15 days prior to when ballots are made available to voters, which occurs long before the actual day of the election.

This became an issue in September, when county clerks handing recall elections in Colorado Springs and Pueblo weren’t able to mail ballots in time, which resulted in elections where voters could vote in person, the day of the election.

Democrats say the bill would give citizens more opportunities to vote. But Republicans blast the measure as unconstitutional.

The bill passed the Democrat majority Senate State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee, following a 3-2 vote.

Emergency pet care bill signed

Gov. John Hickenlooper on March 20 signed a bill into law that will allow emergency medical providers to provide medical care to house cats and dogs.

Medical personnel who respond to emergency calls to homes were prohibited from providing care to domestic animals prior to the bill signing. Although EMTs provide that assistance any way, they risked litigation by the pet’s owner if something happened to the animal.

The bill was sponsored by Sen. David Balmer, R-Centennial and Denver Democratic Reps. Beth McCann and Lois Court.

Felony DUI legislation moves forward

A bill that would create a felony DUI

penalty in Colorado cleared it’s first legislative hurdle on March 18.

House Bill 1036 would let prosecutors charge a driver’s third DUI in seven years or any fourth DUI as a felony.

Right now, drivers only face misdemeanor penalties when driving drunk, no matter how many times they are charged.

Colorado is one of only six states that don’t have a felony DUI on the books.

The bill – which is sponsored by Republican Reps. Mark Waller of Colorado Springs and Lori Saine of Firestone – passed the House Judiciary Committee with unanimous support.

A similar effort failed last year.

Bill would allow armed guards at charter schools

Charter schools would be allowed to hire armed security guards, under a bill that received unanimous support in the House on March 21.

House Bill 1291 – which is sponsored

by Reps. Mike McLachlan, D-Durango and Stephen Humphrey, R-Severance – allows

The directory, compiled by the League of Women Voters of Jefferson County, contains nonpartisan information related to voting, schools, courts, and all levels of government affecting county residents. Additionally, it directs citizens to other information sources as well as to specific agencies and officials.

Free copies of the guide may be obtained at Jefferson County libraries, Jefferson County Clerk’s and city clerks’ offices and from the Jeffco LWV Office, 1425 Brentwood, Suite 7, Lakewood, CO 80214, 303-238-0032 or www.lwvjeffco.org.

Funding for the booklet came from the Jefferson County Elections Division.

The bill passed the Democrat majority House Transportation and Energy Committee following an 11-2 vote. The measure now heads to the House Appropriations Committee.

SALOME’S STARS

FOR THE WEEK OF MaR 24, 2014

GALLERY OF GAMES

ARIES (Mar 21 to apr 19) You’ll want to discourage well-meaning but potentially ill-advised interference in what you intend to accomplish. Your work has a better chance to succeed if it reflects you.

TAURUS (apr 20 to May 20) The Bovine’s welldeserved reputation for loyalty could be tested if you learn that it might be misplaced. But don’t rely on rumors. Check the stories out before you decided to act.

& weekly horoscope

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) You’ve been going on adrenaline for a long time, and this unexpected lull in a recent spate of excitement could be just what you need to restore your energy levels. Enjoy it.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Friends can be counted on to help you deal with a perplexing personal situation. But remember to keep your circle of advisers limited only to those you’re sure you can trust.

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

LEO (Jul 23 to aug 22) Security-loving Lions do not appreciate uncertainty in any form. But sometimes changing situations can reveal hidden stresses in time to repair a relationship before it’s too late.

VIRGO (aug 23 to Sept 22) This is a good time for single Virgos to make a love connection. Be careful not to be too judgmental about your new “prospect” -- at least until you know more about her or him.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your sense of justice helps you resolve a problem that might have been unfairly attributed to the wrong person. Spend the weekend doing some long-neglected chores.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You might feel justified in your anger toward someone you suspect betrayed your trust. But it could help if you take the time to check if your suspicions have substance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Ignore distractions if you hope to accomplish your goal by the deadline you agreed to. Keep the finish line in sight, and you should be able to cross it with time to spare.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your creative self continues to dominate through much of the week. also, despite a few problems that have cropped up, that recent romantic connection seems to be thriving.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) as curious as you might be, it’s best to avoid trying to learn a colleague’s secret. That sort of knowledge could drag you into a difficult workplace situation at some point down the line.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Instead of spending too much time floundering around wondering if you can meet your deadline, you need to spend more time actually working toward reaching it.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a natural gift for attracting new friends, who are drawn to your unabashed love of what life should be all about.
