EDUCATION BILLS SIGNED
District denial draws criticism Governor signs educational bills at Heritage Center By Crystal Anderson and Clarke Reader

Legislators and members of the education community gathered around an old schoolmarm’s desk in Lakewood as Gov. John Hickenlooper signed two key educational bills into law. The catch — the desk wasn’t located at any Jeffco school. “It’s another black eye for Jeffco, and a missed opportunity for our students to get a real life civics lesson,” Jeffco school board member Lesley Dahlkemper said at the signing. “Instead, they got a lesson in politics. I think the district is being disingenuous about this as well. Last year we had two bill signings at Standley Lake they were able to arrange with finals and graduation. I find it hard to believe they can’t accommodate this.” In mid-May, the Jeffco School District was approached about hosting the governor at Lakewood High School on the morning of May 20 to sign two assessment reducing bills, HB 15-1323 and SB 15-056, into law. However, Jeffco spokesperson Lisa Pinto said that, due to the logistics of the end of the year and graduation, the district could not accommodate the governor and his staff with such short notice. “It was not possible to accommodate the governor, and the media and community members who wanted to watch the bill being signed first thing in the morning during this busy time,” she said. Following up with Pinto, she said the district would have been happy to coordinate an afternoon signing at a different school, as they’ve done in the past with Kendrick Lakes Elementary School, but failed to provide a reason as to why they didn’t. The signing, held inside the Old School House building at the Lakewood Heritage Center, featured comments from several of the area’s legislators and dignitaries welcoming the crowd to the center and expressing their excitement for the bills. Along with those statements, several of them, such as Hickenlooper, state Sen. Andy Kerr and Lakewood Mayor Bob Murphy, shared their confusion and dissatisfaction with the school district’s actions around the event. “With who we have sponsoring these bills that show bipartisan efforts and the fact we’ve had bill signings at schools before, it’s very disappointing the students and faculty couldn’t help us celebrate today,” said Kerr, a Jeffco teacher. “This was still a wonderful setting to do this in, and hopefully provides a basis for us to move forward and get the work of the people done and leave politics behind.” For Murphy, the issue, which the district presented as an impossible security issue, was disconcerting. “I want to clarify something — back in 2012 it was announced that Paul Ryan was going to be the vice presidential candidate and his first visit was at Lakewood High School. The police department found out about it on Friday, and the police had full security set up by Monday,” he said. “So no matter what you’re hearing, the Lakewood police can handle it.” Moving forward, the district said they’ve reached out to the governor’s office and are hoping to host him in August or the early fall.

NEWSMAKER PROFILE
Amanda Stevens Jeffco mom announces run for school board Crystal Anderson
canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Why she is in the news Former teacher and Jeffco mom Amanda Stevens is running for the District 4 school board seat, and said she is looking to bring a neutral voice and collaboration to the board table. District 4 includes Edgewater, Lakewood and most of unincorporated southern Jeffco. “When I started to see some dominoes fall, I started to pay attention, to attend board meetings, to offer public comment,” she said. “Anyone who offers to serve on a board of education is doing thankless work, uncompensated work, hard and worthy work — and I appreciated that I could have a voice in that process, and now I’m looking for a bigger voice to speak on behalf of our students, families and our teachers.”
Sitting at one of her local haunts, Amanda Stevens discusses her take on the Jeffco School Board and how she hopes to soon become a part of it. Photo by Crystal Anderson
About her
Brings to the table
In her own words
A Colorado native, Stevens grew up attending Jeffco schools. While she was an honor student, Stevens felt as though she wouldn’t make it, and dropped out of high school. This difficult decision, she said, was one of the defining moments in her life. “I was a strong student … but I was also disconnected,” she said, “I needed someone who could tell me what I’d be missing and that I would be missed — I didn’t have that — but it all worked out later in life because it motivated me to become a teacher.” After obtaining her GED, Stevens became a high school and middle school teacher, and taught in impoverished schools in Chicago and Sheridan, Illinois. Moving back to Jeffco to raise a family, Stevens became a stay-at-home mom, diving into the programs and policies that shaped her and will shape her children’s education.
With her education background, Stevens also has been active in her children’s schools and served as a member of their School Accountability Committee for years. Stevens, an unaffiliated voter, said she brings a new perspective to the table, and is looking forward to seeing and evaluating issues through all sides, cooperating with all views around the table. “Cooperation and the ability to listen and move forward in compromise matters greatly, especially at a time when people feel more divided and afraid,” she said. Along with her perspective, Stevens cites her conciliatory nature as both a strength and a weakness. “I would rather face obstacles together, and occasionally politics is adversarial, and that will be a new challenge for me,” she said. “I hope it means I will be good at bridge building, but I recognize it means I’ll have to learn to take on advocacy in a new way when essentials are at risk.”
“This for me is not about politics — it’s about Jeffco and Jeffco’s kids.” “Right now I want to see kids prioritized, rather than agendas and ideologies or even personality conflicts. I can’t afford to have my kids’ schools become a battleground for anyone, so I want to make sure we look for ways to work together and do our best by them.” “I had the time to read, to volunteer tutor and to dig deeper into some of the policies that impact what some of my classroom experience was like as a teacher and even as a student. I’m motivated now to say that I think the way forward for our kids is to cooperate, to listen to each other. To tell the stories about what it’s like for kids and families to go through the process and education of 21st-century competitiveness — which is one intimidating demand.”
Hobbies and other interests Along with her passion for K-12 education, Stevens is passionate about skiing, hiking, running marathons, reading and spending time with her husband, Gene, and their two kids.
‘This for me is not about politics — it’s about Jeffco and Jeffco’s kids.’ Amanda Stevens

Special New Lawn Doesn’t Need Mowing Yet By JIM SMITH, Realtor ® Regular readers of this column may recall that, as part of our commitment to sustainable practices, Rita and I had our traditional bluegrass lawn replaced last fall with a newly created variant which requires almost no watering or mowing. When we left on our 3week vacation May 2nd, we were hoping those promises would hold true — and they did. The picture at right was taken this Tuesday morning, May 26th. It has greened up nicely, thanks to all the rain, but has hardly grown an inch. We’ll see how the lawn fares if there is a long dry spell, but our expectation is that we won’t have to run our sprinkler system all summer. Driving cross country in May, you can imagine how often we saw mowing operations in the medians and on the shoulders of our nation’s highways. If all those governments would install Bella Bluegrass, as this variant is
known, you can imagine how much water could be saved, as well as how much their mowing budgets could be cut. All those workers who are putting their lives at risk mowing our highways could be retrained to install similar grasses to replace the Kentucky bluegrass, which requires so much water and attention. You can Google “Bella Bluegrass” to learn more about this great product. It cost us about $1 per square foot, including removal of the old lawn and installation of the new sod. Our only problem was that elk frequent our subdivision (which backs to open space), and they left quite an impression when they walked on the new sod with its freshly turned subsoil. With no watering or mowing expense, we know that this investment will be recouped in just a few years. Ask your favorite vendor about installing a similar lawn for you.
Golden’s Biggest Garage Sale Is This Saturday, 8am to Noon Each year I sponsor a community garage sale for the Village at Mountain Ridge, a high-end subdivision in north Golden proper with 296 homes. About 25 homes are participating this year, and I’ve created a website that you can consult ahead of time showing which homes will be selling what on Saturday. Here’s a screen shot from that website, www.GoldenGarageSale.com.

Food shoppers get new alternative Natural Grocers opens in Wheat Ridge By Clarke Reader
creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Natural Grocers opened its 19th Denver location at 4900 Kipling St. in Wheat Ridge on May 19, and aims to bring its signature natural food choices and nutritional education to the community. “There’s no need to go anywhere else with our everyday affordable low prices,” said Amy Lucariello, with Natural Grocers’ marketing team. “We have all the items customers could want to make this a one-stop shop.”
1
Organic options: The market prides itself on its 100 percent USDA-certified organic produce, and applies the highest standards to all its products. Lucariello said the compnay is looking to increase the number of local vendors it works with. Natural Grocers also has a variety of frozen foods, nuts and seeds in bulk sizes for local restaurants, and this location is the first store with an in-house chef who makes the “grab and go” meals fresh. “We have all our supplements and vitamins arranged by structure and function,” Lucariello said. “All of our health and beauty supplies are safe alternatives to the products that use a lot of chemicals and other materials.” With this ad - not valid with any other offers. Applies to rentals of $20.00 or more. Expires 6/28/15.

Commitment to healthy food: Natural Grocers’ commitment to its products is highlighted in two major areas — dairy and meats. The company recently switched to using only pasture-based dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese and ice cream), and as a result had to phase out some well-known brands that didn’t meet its standards. In its meats department (both frozen and fresh), the company also uses very strict quality standards, Lucariello said. Every store offers fully grass-fed and finished meat products, and the grasses and forage are encouraged to be non-GMO.
3
Nutritional health coaches: Among Natural Grocers’ most unique features are

the nutritional health coaches who are on hand to offer free health advice to customers. The education component is one of their founding principles. “It’s been an amazing experience to see the store come up here,” said Kim Ruzicka, one of the coaches at the Wheat Ridge location. “We get to be ambassadors of health to our customers, and I’m one of the go-to people for customers with questions and suggestions.”
4
Sustainable footprint: The commitment of Natural Grocers to the planet’s health extends beyond its food, and goes into the very design of the buildings. All the lights in the Wheat Ridge location are energy-efficient LED, and Petra Kordischova, with new store operations, said there are occupancy sensors to control the lights. The store also has temperature monitors and a hot water reclamation system in place. “Our outer signs only come on when it’s dark outside, which helps us to use less energy,” Kordischova said. “We also do a lot of recycling, have a compost bin, and are completely disposable-bag-free here — we only have reusable bags.”
5
Community outreach: To get the community involved, Natural Grocers has a community room and kitchen that can be used for cooking classes and other kinds of seminars. Use of the room will be free to nonprofits, and is a great place to educate the community about health.

Spuring socialization through play North Jeffco Senior Friday Club plays inclusivity for the winning hand By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com With a roll of the dice, a chuckle and a hint of competitiveness — the games begin. Pinochle. Bridge. Mahjong. Hand and Foot. While munching on pretzels, popcorn and Chex mix nearly 200 of North Jeffco’s men and women gather for their afternoon delight, the North Jeffco Senior Friday Club. Playing a variety of social and card games, individuals aged 50 and up gather weekly at Arvada’s Community Recreation Center for three hours of camaraderie and competition. “Well, I don’t know what I’ve got more than three of … Clubs perhaps?” “Look at you in your summer clothes!” “Do you want diamonds?”
“I think God’s trying to tell you something.” After a few hands go round the card table — buzz — the timer sounds, signaling the start of a rotation. Rotating around the room, winners jump to the next table, trying their luck with a new group, new friends and a new game. “My great granddaughter’s graduation is tomorrow.” “You’ve been waiting a while — you haven’t gone yet.” Alongside the afternoon’s events, the social group gathers around the community, playing golf, bowling, visiting one another and hosting potlucks. Open to anyone in the Front Range, the group is seeking new membership and is hoping to grow to their once historic 1,000 person group. A place for individuals to meet, the North Jeffco Senior Friday Club gives seniors a spot to bond and feel celebrated. “We just want them to know they have a place they can go,” said Rich Marosey, vice president of the group. “This is a very inexpensive place to socialize and I know I feel great about it.”

Graduation means letting go Nestled in the southeast corner of Colorado is Springfield, home to just 1,400 people. Highway 287 runs through the middle of the small town that has no stoplights and just a few restaurants. Springfield is also home to the Class 1A high school Longhorns. On Saturday, 27 Longhorns graduated high school, and my brother Kyle Thompson was one of them. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that my little brother graduated high school. Lately, tears have made an appearance more often than I’d like to admit. But that comes with the territory. Kyle is the youngest of four. The poor guy ended up with three older sisters, who sometimes act more like moms than siblings. But that’s because he was our baby too. It was an experience growing up with a brother who was 12 years younger than me. I quickly learned how to change diapers and attempt to handle a screaming child throwing a tantrum in the grocery store. At just 15 years old, that was a tough one. To say my patience was tested is an understatement. Kyle was a beautiful baby, with red curls and green eyes. Now, he’s 6-feet-3-inches, with broad shoulders and a strong jaw line.
He still has the red curls. Because of the age difference, I missed a lot of Kyle’s experiences. Springfield is about four-anda-half hours from my home, so daily connections with Kyle were tough. I Ashley Reimers would visit on the REFLECTIONS weekends, try to catch a basketball game or two of his, but I always left feeling like it wasn’t enough. Being OK with weekend trips was something I had to accept. I try to soak up every minute I have with Kyle, even if it’s just a quick moment as he heads out to meet his friends. Because let’s be honest, an 18-yearold’s idea of fun probably isn’t spending the day with his 30-year-old sister. Watching my little brother graduate high school is something I’ll never forget. Just like I’ll never forget the moment he was born, the

Kyle Thompson, a 2015 Springfield High School graduate. Photo by Ashley Reimers time I caught him peeing in the front yard as a toddler, and how handsome he looked for his senior prom. I love Kyle unconditionally and will always be in his corner. I know he’s going to make mistakes during his path to adulthood, but that’s the beauty of life — you live and learn. I also know that however my baby brother decides to lead his life, he’ll do it with confidence, a smile and those adorable red curls.
Time to talk about tardiness I am, I am sad to admit, a chronically late person. I don’t know why, I always have been. I have never been the person who wanted to be the first person in the room, sitting in my chair with all my thoughts in order and all my things laid out before me in a neat and organized fashion. I’m much more comfortable with the energy of flying in at the last second (or later) and taking things from there. I do that with my recreation, too. Let’s just say I’m not the guy who has good practice routine at the golf course. Actually, I’m the guy whose friends tell me a tee time that’s anywhere from 15 to 40 minutes earlier than the real one, thinking then that I might get there in time to warm up. I was recently reading a Wall Street Journal article on chronic tardiness, and the article cited studies that explained chronic tardiness in a few different ways. One of these was the tendency to underestimate how long a task would take to complete, and another was that people who multitask tend to be late. Me? I think I’m the guy who is always multitasking, and somehow manages to underestimate how long all of the various tasks will take to complete. Yes, I have found a way to amplify my pliable relationship with time by spreading it out over many different tasks, thus multiplying my lateness in a way that makes a reggae singer seem obsessive compulsive. All kidding aside, I realize that this is not a good thing, and it drives my family crazy!
Sure, half the time when I’m trying to get one task done, it is actually they that are causing my multitasking by sharing snippets of their day, asking me to proofread stuff, solve their I.T. problems in the home, cook their dinners and take care of the dogs. But it’s Michael Alcorn okay — I think any parent who is supremely HITTING task oriented in a famHOME ily with small children is probably destined for a nervous breakdown, or a bunch of bad relationships. Because the emphasis is, or should be, on the relationships. And while tardiness can strain relationships, cold dismissiveness destroys them. A good relationship needs the flexibility to happen organically, and the great lie of “quality time” is that you can have quality without investing a certain amount of quantity. That is why I am skeptical of a new push in our schools to quantify down to the minute every use of our most inflexible resource: time. Nobody multitasks more than an elementary school teacher, and I sat through meetings this past week in which I was shown a strictly regimented schedule for every
classroom of an elementary school, even to the exclusion of some elements of curriculum. Now, I understand that this is par for the course for older grades; but, particularly with younger students, the most important thing a teacher builds is a relationship with a student. Only after that is built can the teacher effectively build knowledge, ambition, and self-confidence. Sometimes, teachers need more flexibility to capitalize on a moment that can change a child’s life. Children need, and unknowingly crave, accountability and structure. But what we are increasingly giving them is nothing more than mind-numbing testing and regiment. It is just another symptom of how far the pendulum has swung in the public schools. When what we really should be striving for is students with the ability to think creatively to face the challenges of a new millennium, we are distilling all of the creativity out of the system. Great teachers will continue to do great things, regardless of the resources they are given. But the students who work like I do, whose inspiration doesn’t always follow a clock, are getting shortchanged. And it would be terrible if that caused us to underestimate a child’s ability.

Family chores help make kids successful Families want children spending time on activities that lea to success. Doing family chores has been proven a predictor of success according to developmental psychology studies and it is cheap. Family To- Do Lists are trainers for responsibility, wise use time, and accountability. Decades of many studies of preschool into the 20’s show that To-Do children are CanDo adults—academically, emotionally, and professionally (Weissbourd, Rende, Rossman, and Madeline Levine). In studies of 10,000 high school children, personal happiness is not from high achievement but strong family relationships. For more activities for Can-Do children see www.grandparentsteachtoo.blogspot. com www.grandparentsteachtoo.blogspot. com and wnmufm.org/Learning through the Seasons.
Begin Early Young adults who begin chores at age 3 are more likely to have good relationships and a sense of family. How is this done? When children are small. Think small. A three year old can help put their dirty clothes
in the correct place, find spoons and place them LIFELONG on the table, and help pick up toys. Families LEARNING are training valuable and appreciated helpers. Their rewards are smiles, hugs, and praising words.
Esther Macalady
Chores with a Smile One key is an adult helping with the chore. When children are young or doing a new job, adults can work along side, praise, and not expect perfection. Even young children can help dust with an old sock over their hand or dust mop under beds to find dust bunnies. Keep it simple and age appropriate. Young children can pick up little sticks and count their pile. Be careful with the language used. Thank children for being a “helper” rather than helping. It is important that children view themselves as one who pitches in, who helps the family, neighbors, and the community. Let’s do “our family chores”, not “your chores”. Avoid tying chores to punishment. Keep talk about To-Do Lists positive or at least neutral.
A publication of
If adults complain about sorting, washing clothes, folding, or doing the dishes so will children. Carry on conversations. One family puts cleaned clothing on a bed, and all gather around to fold and hang up their clothes. They discuss good things, successes, and things that could be better from the week. Take turns with jobs. Make a schedule. Everyone has a day to fill the dishwasher. Little ones pair up with older ones. Everyone takes their age from the table, adults last. Schedule chore times into the calendar right next to piano lessons and sports practice. Maintain consistency. Keep the allowance and chores separate. Often sit down together at the kitchen table, discuss, and make a master list together to make the family run smoothly. Start small and earn new levels of responsibility. Game it. They understand the concept. To build pro-famiy behavior like empathy, focus on chores that take care of the family rather than personal hygiene. That’s a different list.

Horses at Denver Botanic Gardens First we had the wonderful Chihuly Show and now we make a one-eighty to “Deborah Butterfield: The Nature of Horses.” Through Oct. 18, the artist’s 15 stunning life-sized sculptures will occupy the beautiful outdoor grounds at the Denver Botanic Gardens, 1007 York Street. The exhibition is included with admission to the gardens. Horses have been the focus of Butterfield’s work for over thirty years. Most of the sculptures, originally created in wood from around the world, are made of cast bronze. There is a separate mold for each branch which is then burned out and replaced with molten bronze. The branches are then welded together to create each horse. The artist says, “Because they are cast in bronze, even the most fragile and ephemeral branches become permanent, structural parts of my horses.
Harriet Hunterford
In conjunction with the Butterfield exhibition, the Broken: Horse-Riding AROUND Textiles exhibit will TOWN be on view through Aug. 9, in the Gates Garden Court Gallery. Weavings that were created because of the horse culture are featured. Among the many special events that will be available during the course of the Butterfield exhibition, is Homeschool Day: Deborah Butterfield Exhibition Exploration which will take place on Mon., Aug. 17. There will be a garden-wide journey where the students will discover how art interacts with the natural world. The children will also create a take-home art piece inspired by the horses. For information and a complete listing

The grand finale is a show created and performed by the students themselves. Having known
Tips for family fishing trips A fishing guide I enjoy time with on the upper South Platte River waters gave me a “wake up call” this week. He reported he was not taking any reservations between the last week in May and July 1 due to an above-average runoff anticipated during June. The high mountain ranges that feed the South Platte River tributaries are holding a significant snowpack, and that means a longer than normal snow melt and runoff time line. That got me thinking that could be an excellent period of time to keep the fly rod in the case and to plan some relaxed family fishing trips to some of the lakes, reservoirs and ponds along the Front Range. Maybe even add some new spice and flare for the kids to minimize those inescapable boring moments by focusing on where and how to give the kids an exciting and fun day fishing. Take Me Fishing (www.takemefishing.
org), a great family fishing organization that shows us how to have exceptional days fishing, and how to encourage and incorporate family into the fishing experience, has some ideas to enhance a day with Ron Hellbusch rod and reel. Take Me Fishing OUTDOORS suggests we look SCENE beyond the easy-toget-to, close-in fishing ponds we may normally frequent for variety and to find better fishing and fish populations. They also offer that allowing the kids to go beyond just rod, reel and bobber fishing will excite them, keep them focused and
offer a new angling challenge. Introduce them to spin-cast gear and applying small, manageable lures and spinners. Provide or rent a canoe or kayak to get them off the heavily used pond banks and out into the more secluded fishing water. Moving about on the lake or pond in itself adds a good change of pace for kids, will generate enthusiasm for their fishing day and very likely invite more catches. You can look beyond the smaller canoes and kayaks and consider renting a boat with small trolling outboard motor. This will take their fishing experience to yet another level by introducing them to trolling. Another suggestion by Take Me Fishing is to extend the fishing day to an overnight camping event. The family will enjoy the relaxation and close family time that overnight camping offers by not having to pick up and head home early evening the same day.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Teachers union unprofessional
The Jeffco teachers union (JCEA) continues to disrupt education. The latest is their injunction against generous raises from the taxpayer while waiting for the union to start negotiating in good faith. Not only that, but the union demanded that the District rescind offers made to new teachers. The judge was not amused. Neither were professional educators, who were astounded. Dedicated teachers, those who are proud of their profession and confident of their skill, recognize that professionalism and membership in a collective such as JCEA are mutually exclusive. There can’t be loyalty to the employer or client simultaneously with loyalty to a militant, adversarial collective. In the medical profession, the doctor can’t stop caring for his patient because a union calls for a strike. In engineering the client is confident that the engineer’s structural designs are safe. Use of the suffix P.E. (Professional Engineer) behind his signature, without the hard-earned license, is a felony. No society or union can dictate his relationship with a client. That’s what professionalism is all about. The teacher’s employer is the taxpayer. The client is the student, although not according to the late president of the United Federation of Teachers, Albert Shanker, who famously said, “When school children start paying union dues, that’s when I’ll start representing the interests of school children.” We have an incredible teaching staff of professionals. They are the ones who know the difference between a profession and a routine, repetitive job, with duties dic-
tated by a collective. The Board of Education states that they are pleased to be recognized as having the authority to adopt a plan that rewards effective teachers. They look forward to productive discussions and bargaining with JCEA. Tom Graham, Arvada
School board travesty Last year my family graduated a 4th generation of Jeffco students; first Wheat Ridge and then Arvada West. During the almost 100 years of this history we have been so very proud of this legacy. Then came the right wing takeover of the school board. It has been continuous dissension and chaos since. The board’s blatant attempt to place a political agenda before the best interests of the students and their teachers has created unprecedented turmoil. I believe my 83 years of interest and involvement in our schools has given me the right to say I am outraged and saddened -- which is a vast understatement! This should be an urgent reminder to us that all elections are important. I know families are busy, but it is vitally important to be an involved and educated voter. I feel certain even many Republican affiliated voters are appalled by this politically motivated board that appears to have no regard for students or teachers. They have treated students’ input with disdain, vilified teachers, and alienated the community. What a travesty! Theo Davis, Arvada

Rory for many years, I am confident this will be an unforgettable experience for any kid who has even the slightest interest in being on stage. Parents can rest easy knowing that all the instructors are highly experienced theatre professionals and, (it’s sad to have to add) they are all back-ground checked. Sometimes I miss the olden days. This is a wonderful opportunity for kids to gain self-confidence, meet new friends, and in general, spend part of their summers learning something new. Cost for each session is $199. As an added plus, early drop-off/late pick-up can be arranged if needed. As it says in the press release, “Registrations are limited – please register early to avoide that withering look from a disappointed child.” Call 303-935-3044. Columnist Harriet Hunter Ford may be reached at hhunterford@gmail.com.
If the family is into mountain biking, take the bikes to add yet another twist to the fishing trip. Taking a break from fishing the easy access areas by biking to more remote waters can be fun for the kids. It definitely satisfies the typical fisherman’s concern, that being the fishing will be better away from camp. Colorado offers more than 200 state wildlife areas and an additional number of state parks, many of which offer fishing. This unusual Colorado wet spring and runoff season can be an exciting and a new angling learning experience for the whole family. We are sure to enhance the young angler’s interest and drive to go fishing when we add a variety and new approach. And that makes for some great family days outdoors.

Steuben’s coming to Arvada
Josh Wolkon, the Denver-centric restaurateur who has brought this town Vesta Dipping Grill, Steuben’s and Ace, is branching out to the ‘burbs with a second outpost of Steuben’s in Olde Town Arvada, according to a story on Eater Denver’s website. Wolkon, who opened the diner/comfort food concept in Uptown nine years ago, said that the reception he received from the Arvada Office of Economic Development encouraged him to venture outside the comfort of Denver’s city limits. That and the fact that he could purchase the real estate in a former Gunther Toody’s space at 7355 Ralston Road. The Steuben’s sequel will take its culinary direction from chef Brandon Beiderman. “We see a lot of guests Uptown from the Arvada direction, so the concept is clearly a good fit for the demographic,” Wolkon told Eater Denver. ”The Arvada Office of Economic Development has been instrumental in attracting us to Arvada. They have been great to work with and are very proactive throughout this process.” The new Steuben’s is slated to open late this year.

Hickenlooper signs rules that Miners Alley Playhouse “Come Play in the Alley” limit medical pot growers
Law restricts caregivers to 99 plants
By Kristen Wyatt
The Associated Press
Colorado’s governor has signed into law a crackdown on medical marijuana, one of two measures designed to ferret out people improperly using and selling untaxed marijuana. The law limits caregivers, those who grow pot on behalf of patients, to 99 plants. The change means that some high-volume caregivers will face the same oversight as commercial growers, paying licensing fees and undergoing background checks. The new rules have support from the recreational pot industry, which has complained that light regulation on Colorado’s caregivers has invited black-market grow-
ers who don’t face residency requirements, background checks or commercial “seed-tosale” tracking used to ensure pot plants are grown and sold legally. “We’re really trying to make sure that caregivers are part of our regulatory system,” said Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, who sponsored the bill. Caregivers have successfully resisted such limits for years, but the law includes some concessions that won their acceptance. For example, the law eliminates an unenforced requirement that parents of marijuana patients under 18 grow the drug. That rule had put some parents who moved to Colorado seeking cannabis treatments for their children outside the law. It also sets up a task force to start work on public access to the state’s few marijuana testing labs. The marijuana industry has

“Growing up here I didn’t think I’d go to UCCS. I thought I needed a bigger school to get the quality education and degree I wanted. But all it took was a campus visit and I found out what a hidden jewel UCCS is. I’m a dual major and the academics are challenging. I also love that I’m just a car ride from my family if they need me for anything.” — Dylan Shuster, Junior in Chemistry and Biochemistry

Downtown Denver’s best honored
On May 21, the Downtown Denver Partnership presented seven awards for people, places and businesses driving progress toward an economically healthy and vital downtown at the 54th Annual Downtown Denver Awards Dinner. Awards were presented to: • Denver Public Library 125th Anniversary • Mile High United Way Morgridge Center for Community Change • Renaissance Denver Downtown City Center Hotel • Emily Griffith Campus and Downtown Denver Expeditionary School • Stout Street Health Center and Renaissance Stout Street Lofts • Regional Transportation District’s Free MetroRide • Denver Union Station “We are grateful for the opportunity to pause each year to celebrate the excellent achievements that advance us toward our vision of a world-class center city,” said Tami Door, president and CEO of the Downtown Denver Partnership. “This year’s winners are city builders who have made Denver stronger, and they are instrumental in establishing Downtown as the economic engine that drives the city, state and region.”
The seen
My former colleague Dale Ulland (such a nice guy!), a Denver Post copy editor, recently had a close encounter of the celebrity kind. He posted this on Facebook: “Oh, you know, was just browsing the shelves at Old Firehouse Books in Fort Collins, and this woman accidentally bumps into me — heck, I almost spilled my Diet Coke. She apologizes profusely, and I recognize her as Dana Perino. I ask how her book, “And the Good News Is ...” is doing. She says, `Not bad.’ Long story short, we sit down at a nearby table and talk for what seems like an hour, all the while sharing some croissants and OJ. As I get up to leave, she asks, `Dale, would you like a signed copy of my New York Times list best-seller?’ I say, `Sure!’ (I mean, what else COULD I say?) And then she hands her cellphone to the store manager, who snaps a photo of us. Pretty cool. Celeste (Dale’s wife) and I hope to have her over for chips and salsa soon.”

generally opposed public access to the labs, fearing backlogs. Finally, the law allows school districts to consider allowing medical marijuana use on campus, as long as the pot is administered by a parent or designated medical professional, not a school nurse. The pot-in-schools allowance would be the nation’s first, though it’s not clear how many school districts would participate. Gov. John Hickenlooper said the law was a compromise worked out by both political parties, the pot industry and caregivers. “It is a pretty good reflection of what the community wants,” Hickenlooper said. The law doesn’t require caregivers to register their growing operations. Instead, it encourages them to register by assuring them that authorities could verify their number of plants without starting a criminal investigation, instead of forcing caregivers to prove in court that their operations are legal. Hickenlooper signed the measure at a Denver police station to show goodwill between law enforcement and caregivers. The language in the law came after years of testy negotiations between medical marijuana groups and police.

Business moves to enrich Olde Town PBS Wealth Management Consultants moves to Grandview Avenue location By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com With a new name, logo, office and vision, PBS Wealth Management Consultants is moving into the future of financial planning. “We’re an awful lot like Olde Town,” Roger Johnson, founder and CEO of PBS, said of the move and the company today. “We’re very young and vibrant with a lot happening, but there’s that history that we have — it’s (Olde Town) classic and historical but young and active, and that almost capsulizes what we are.” Working in Arvada since 1977, PBS recently moved to Olde Town, 7674 Grandview Ave. Suite 200, as part of its transition into the future. An independent financial advising firm, PBS Wealth Management Consultants seeks to help individuals across the community and the nation become financially secure and live comfortably. Currently, PBS serves clients in 34 states and six foreign countries. Offering a personalized approach for individuals, businesses and nonprofits, PBS advisers address individual situations uniquely. Offering an interactive, purpose-based approach to financial planning, PBS’s advisers get to know their clients, and help creatively solve financial issues and provide them with a road map and tools for financial success. “Just like you do with students — you get to know them, you get to know what’s happening in their lives and you develop a plan to be successful students, and we’ve applied that here,” Johnson said. “Clients are not numbers that you try to fit in to quote some product; it’s the other side, ‘What are you about, what’s important to you.’” Michael Frie, a certified financial planner, said it’s important to start planning at a young age, and not wait until

Colorado soccer star nets surprise honor Soccer champ Chastain presents Pugh with national award By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Mallory Pugh was stymied for probably the only time this spring when she was asked what she was going to do for an encore. The 17-year-old Mountain Vista junior was surprised while in class May 21 by her teammates, family and former U.S. gold medal Olympian and World Cup champion player Brandi Chastain, who presented Pugh with the Gatorade National Girls Soccer Player of the Year award. Pugh has the talent to keep improving at the high school level and as a member of the U.S. Under 20 national team. Along with 11 other national winners, Pugh has been invited to Los Angeles in July, when she could receive an encore as Gatorade’s overall national Female Athlete of the Year. She and her family will also walk down the red carpet at the ESPY awards, which follows the Gatorade national ceremony.
The Gatorade winners are selected on the basis of athletic achievement, academic excellence and exemplary character. Pugh is, as Heritage coach Adam Buseck told Gatorade, “The best player in high school soccer I’ve ever seen.” She has a 3.68 grade point average, and she has volunteered as part of initiatives that help pediatric patients at Children’s Hospital. She has also spent time aiding Panther Pantry, which serves needy Douglas County families, and with Tennyson Center for Children. Pugh joins two other Colorado girls who have been honored with the National Girls Soccer Player of the Year award. Green
Mountain’s Aleisha Cramer-Rose won in 2000, and Mary McDowell of Wheat Ridge earned the distinction in 2001. “I was surprised,” said Pugh who has committed to play at UCLA. “Someone walked into class, I looked and all my teammates were there. I saw my parents, and I said, ‘What is going on?’ Then Brandi came with the trophy, and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ “I’m thankful and really honored. I know I could not have done it without my teammates, my family and my coaches,” Pugh added. “It’s a team award because they push me every day to get better. I can’t thank them enough for the friendships we’ve built and the support they give me. It’s off the charts.” Because of her national team commitments, Pugh played in 10 of Mountain Vista’s 19 games this season, but had a big impact on those games. She scored 24 goals and had 12 assists. Over the past three seasons, Mountain Vista is 32-0 in games in which Pugh has played. Mountain Vista coach Theresa Echtermeyer praised Pugh for her dedication, humility, ability to make people laugh, and being a role model. She also couldn’t say enough about her as a player. “They call soccer the beautiful game, well Mallory takes a beautiful game to the
next level,” said Echtermeyer. “Watching her play is not only beautiful it is magical. “She can take over a game in an instant, she can beat three or four defenders and take the ball to the line, shoot and deliver a perfect serve to whoever is in the box. She wants the toughest challenges because she knows in the end that those challenges make her better.” Chastain was edgy walking into the history class to surprise Pugh, but later lauded her talents. “I’ve been to many awards ceremonies, and I’ve been ask to throw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium, but I was more nervous to present this award to Mallory because it’s very special, very unique and you want to get it right,” she said. “I wanted to surprise her in a way so she would remember the moment. “Mallory has a lot of great qualities. She has great agility, she has great quickness, she’s a game changer and at any minute she can break a game wide open and not many players can do that. The most impressive thing about Mallory is she has a change of pace that is surprising yet at the same time she does this explosive movement she also has this composure to do the job in each moment. She’s very unique and very mature for her age.”

D’Evelyn needed a second win over Wheat Ridge to stay alive at the Class 4A baseball championship on May 21. Grant Witherspoon delivered the win to D’Evelyn as he tossed a complete game, two-hit shutout for the Jaguars. Wheat Ridge sees its season end with back-to-back losses in the cham-
pionship tournament and finishes with a 19-5 record, matching last season’s record. D’Evelyn 2, Windsor 0 - D’Evelyn rebounded from a loss to open the Class 4A baseball championship with a shutout win over Windsor to keep the Jaguars’ season alive on May 21.

A starry-eyed subject Nighttime is absolutely your favorite time. Some people choose to hang out with friends after dark. Some go to movies, listen to music, or just go to sleep. But you – as soon as it’s dark, you lay down somewhere quiet and look up. That’s where the stars are, and in the new book by CAP Saucier, you can learn to “Explore the Cosmos like Neil deGrasse Tyson.” Born a few days before the National Aeronautics and Space Administration began, Neil deGrasse Tyson likes to say he’s the same age as NASA. By the time he was 9 years old, he was “in love with the night sky” and at 11, he knew he wanted to be an astrophysicist (a scientist who studies the universe). He was so fascinated by planets and stars that he almost got BOOK INFO in trouble with a “Explore the Cosmos like Neil deGrasse telescope when he Tyson” by CAP Saucier was a teenager. c.2015, Prometheus Books $14.99 / $16.00 Tyson’s parents Canada 177 pages both stressed to him that skipping college was not an option and so, though he wasn’t a great student in high school, Tyson went to Harvard, then to the U of Texas and to Columbia University. Why, you might ask, didn’t he become an astronaut? Back then, the program wasn’t open to African-Americans, so being an astronaut never even entered his mind. In finding beauty in the night sky, Tyson is not alone. More than 2,500 years ago, the Greeks looked upward and tried to understand what they saw. Other cultures studied the heavens, too; Ptolemy tried to count the stars, and stopped at a thousand. In recent years, we’ve learned more about the cosmos than ever before, but there’s still so much we don’t know. To study the stars, you need to understand light and physics. You’ll need to know about galaxies and Nebulas, which look different and have descriptive names. You’ll want to find out the truth about black holes, and why you never, ever want to be “spaghettified.” And above all, says Tyson, stay in school, learn math, and go for the best education you can get. Even if you don’t end up studying stars, that’s always a good path to take. I was pleasantly surprised and a little daunted, both, by
g
for middle-graders. Kids who tackle those sections will need a better-than-average understanding of astroscience, since those pages aren’t otherwise very kid-friendly. I think maybe a scienceloving 9-year-old could try this book but it’s really better-suited for someone older. For a sharp child with her head in the stars, “Explore the Cosmos like Neil deGrasse Tyson” is pretty cosmic.
BOOKWORM
“Explore the Cosmos like Neil deGrasse Tyson.” The delight comes in the biography part of this book. Author CAP Saucier lets us explore the life of Neil deGrasse Tyson, from his childhood to his fascinating career today and what he thinks about the future of space exploration. Along the way, we’re given an education on the universe and what’s in it. That part, however, can be formidable; the language is more advanced than I would have liked to see in a book

Silver Linings: Lessons that life teaches us Note: This is the first of a two-part series. If you were given the opportunity to return to your 15-year old self, would you? Most of us wouldn’t, even if we would love to replay certain choices or experiences with what we now know. Because growing older teaches us about all the opportunities we wasted, the loves we casually threw away, the sheer amount of time we Neil Rosenthal squandered with being petty, with busying ourselves with temporary SOUND feel-good activities, or with numbADVICE ing out with alcohol, drugs or a variety of mindless activities. At 20 we could do endless amounts of the wrong things, and miss or ignore what the right things were. But we survived, because there would be many more opportunities to get it right, to learn from our mistakes, to acquire an education about how life really works, and to find new loves and more meaningful outlets for our skills, abilities and talents. 50 years ago, things that were thought to be science fiction have become commonplace. A Dick Tracy watch? Pure fantasy. A man on the moon? Amazing. Computers that fit in your pocket and that are a hundred thousand times more powerful than the computers that took up a whole room? Impossible. Gay marriage? Astonishing. The break-up of the Soviet Union? Stunning. A black US President? Remarkable. Cars that drive themselves? Impossible. Most of what you wished for at 20 you have experienced or accomplished by 50, or your priorities changed so it became less important to you. Most of what you were interested in at 20 you have left behind or discarded by 50. Most of what you feared at 20 didn’t happen, or was less important than you had imagined. What really concerns you at 40, 50, 60 or 70—you had likely not even thought of. This is summarized by a quote, the author of which remains anonymous: “At twenty we worry about what others think of us; at forty we don’t care about what others think of us; at sixty we discover they haven’t been thinking about us at all.” So what lessonshas life taught you? I will offer some of the most important ones I have learned in next weeks column, but I would also like to invite readers to write in to me by email (neil@heartrelationships.com) and tell me the important lessons life has taught you. I will print the most interesting ones I receive in a future column. “You can get old pretty young if you don’t take care of yourself.” Yogi Berra “ By the time I reach the end of my life, I hope I’m ready to settle down.” Ashleigh Brilliant Neil Rosenthal is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Westminster and Boulder, Colorado. His column is in its 24th year of publication, and is syndicated around the world. You can reach him at 303-758-8777, or email him through his website: www.heartrelationships.com.

‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ a can’t-miss thrill By Lindsey Bahr
Associated Press
The silences in “Mad Max: Fury Road” are unsettling. The moments are few and infrequent, but it’s not until the fiery roar of the engines and the thrashing of the guitars are suddenly stripped away that you can fully feel how deeply the film has flooded your being. The theater — and your heart — pulsate with the lack as you recover and wait for more. It’s in the silences that director George Miller’s singular genius becomes evident, and for good reason: It’s the only time the film allows you to breathe. Thirty years after Miller gave the world “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome,” he’s returned to his own post-apocalyptic world and created an exceptional, fearless and poetic masterpiece that’s primed to become a modern classic. In this anarchic world, Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy) is a lone wolf. As he tells us in
the prologue, he’s a man whose past traumas have reduced him to a single instinct: survival. Max’s only humanity seems to be in his haunting visions of a child asking for protection. Otherwise, he’s gone full animal. As Max, Hardy doesn’t so much speak. He grunts and growls and scurries for freedom. But Max quickly gets entangled with others when the warlords of the wasteland put a fish hook in his neck and strap him on as a hood ornament to chase after the rogue Furiosa (Charlize Theron). She’s managed to escape the Citadel in a powerful, lumbering War Rig with the wives of their tyrannical leader Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne, who also played Toecutter in “Mad Max”). Much of the film is spent with the women, and eventually Max, on the rig as they race across the desert away from the painted fighters on their tail. Furiosa, seeking redemption for untold sins, has made it her purpose to bring the wives to “the green place” — an idyllic haven she was taken from as a child.
The wives, played by Rosie HuntingtonWhiteley, Riley Keough, Abbey Lee, Courtney Eaton and Zoe Kravitz, are all ethereal, spiritual beauties. Though physically perfect and visibly unmarked by the harsh conditions of the land, as Immortan Joe’s property, their collective trauma is more insidious. When they fight back and jump in to help their more grizzled and skilled travel mates, they do so without fear or hesitation. Looking almost sturdy in comparison, it is Theron who steals the show as the steelyeyed, one-armed, and aptly named Furiosa. Her fierce and unwavering commitment to her self-assigned mission propels the sparse narrative and invigorates those around her, when death often seems like not just the easier option, but probably the more appealing one, too. Painted and scarred to the point of disguise, Nicholas Hoult is also a standout as Nux, an unlucky, but endearingly devoted Immortan Joe foot soldier who delivers on one of the few actual character arcs of the

film. Ultimately, “Mad Max: Fury Road” is almost aggressively anti-character, though. The dialogue is beautifully lean and purposeful, allowing what does exist to have maximum impact. For Theron and Hardy, their triumphant performances are in their eyes. In the end, it is the bright, fresh visuals juxtaposed with the impressively choreographed and always surprising action and pacing that make the film. Cinematographer John Seale (“The English Patient”) has infused the barren landscape with a feast of striking, saturated colors, while Miller has made a two-hour race across the desert into a truly riveting must-see and see again. As we drive full speed into another summer (and half-decade) of sequels and interconnected universes, Miller has reminded us that blockbusters have the potential to not only be art, but radically visionary — even the fourth in a series. What a lovely day, indeed.

ARVADA CITY COUNCIL ON THE RECORD The Arvada City Council voted on the following legislation during its May 18 regular business meeting. Council members in attendance were Mayor Marc Williams, Mayor Pro Tem Mark McGoff, District 1 council member Jerry Marks, District 3 council member John Marriott, District 4 council member Bob Dyer, and at-large council members Don Allard and Bob Fifer.
Miniature goats
City council unanimously approved an ordinance authorizing the keeping of
miniature goats within the city of Arvada. The ordinance allows for Nigerian dwarf or African pygmy goats to be housed on properties as long no more than two are located on the property, they’re not kept within the front of the property, males are neutered before age 6, shelters are at least 15 feet from the side or rear of the property lines and are predator resistant, and all grazing activities are fenced and occur no more than once per month.
Acquisition of property
City council unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the acquisition of the property at 5885 Allison St. in the amount of $1,116,000. Contacted by the property owner earlier this year, the city researched the 17,500-square-foot post office estate as being a possible location for an expanded justice center. During this time the city noted this site, while currently hosting the Arvada Post Office until September 2022, would be an ideal and cost-effective location for the city’s future justice center.
According to the presentation, this endeavor would cost the city around $42 million, versus the more than $50 it would pay if remodeling the current police and municipal court campus.
Public hearing — Moore Brothers farm
Council approved two ordinances authorizing the public hearing for the annexation and rezoning of Moore Brothers Farm, 12605 W. 72nd Ave. The public hearing will be held 6:30 p.m. June 1 at Arvada City Hall, 8101 Ralston Road. — Compiled by Crystal
