Wheat Ridge Tech makes progress on hyrdrogen fuel cell car

By Clarke Reader

creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Editor’s Note: This story is part of our ongoing coverage of Wheat Ridge High School’s first STEM program We will be checking in on a monthly basis to see how the program and projects are developing.

Getting a new car, particularly in high school, is a thrilling moment for anyone, but finding the right one can be a challenge.

The students in the school’s first STEMEngineering program, Wheat Ridge Tech, are building one — and they know exactly what they want.

The car the students are designing and building is a hydrogen fuel cell car to race in the Shell Eco-marathon, and they’ve been working away on it for months.

“It’s fun to actually be making stuff — taking things we’ve learned in other classes and applying them here,” said project manager and senior Brandon Saunders. “There are three different teams on the project — body, electric and steering — and I have to make sure everything fits when it comes together.”

For most of December, the students have been building the molds for the car under the supervision of Wheat Ridge teachers Chuck Sprague and Ron Livingston and University of Colorado Denver instructor Doug Gallagher.

They have been cutting out foam bricks to frame the design and then taking the frames to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) labs in Boulder to be milled.

According to Gallagher, once all the molds are ready carbon fiber will be put in to make the actual body of the car. But that stage is still at least a month away.

“After the students finished the design of the car they started this work and have four molds of just the bottom of the car to do,” Sprague explained. “There is still a lot of design work to do in other areas of the car.”

The student’s car for the Eco-marathon is being designed and built to go the farthest

Students in the Wheat Ridge Tech program measure the foam blocks needed to make the mold for their car’s body. distance using the least amount of energy.

The international competition encourages the students to think about energy and efficiency in a practical way.

“I had to develop all the mechanical engineering skills needed for this — though I had a small amount of electrical engineering knowledge going in,” said senior Kyle Brothers, head of the electrical team. “It’s a challenge, because we may not have the knowledge needed yet, but we’ll get there. And we have the teacher support to help us get through the challenging areas.”

Spreading the word It’s not just the projects that make Wheat Ridge Tech remarkable — it’s the way the program partners hands-on-building with engineering knowledge that makes it unique from many traditional STEM programs.

“Some schools are all design, but we want our students to do both the design and construction, and then be able to show off the product,” Sprague said.

“It’s one thing to design something, an-

other to build it,” Gallagher added.

Part of the program is getting other students inspired to pursue engineering-related fields of study and careers, and in some cases that means reaching out to students before they get to Wheat Ridge.

Sprague said several students went to area middle schools to provide eighth-graders with information about the program.

“We wanted to get what we do out there, especially those in science and gifted and talented classes,” said senior Andrew Wahlers.

“Other schools have STEM programs but not like this. You have times when you’re learning something and ask when will we use this but those questions are all answered here.”

Sprague said one of the goals for the program is to get every skill level involved.

“There are no prerequisites for the class — if someone has no experience we ease them in with some classes on the tools and computer software,” he said. “Freshman who are new to this and seniors who have been working for years both get to help on our projects.”

December 18, 2014

Undocumented woman unbowed, unbroken When she was 11 and caring for four younger brothers and sisters in a rural Mexican town, Rocío Méndez looked into her heart for strength.

When she was 15, hiding in a dumpster from immigration officers in Arizona after walking four days through desert and mountains, she looked into her heart for courage.

Last week, when she completed the last exam needed for her college degree, Rocío, now 22, again looked into her heart. This time, she found happiness.

“Education has always been my heart,” she said. “Education has always been my motivation. It has been my life.”

The passion to learn has been the fire that propelled her through unimaginable adversity — drug-war violence, family tragedy, poverty and hunger — and that lifted her when hope threatened to slip from her grasp.

“Her story is nothing less than a miracle,” her high school teacher Lisa Wille-Racine said. “She was relentless. …

She is relentless. She didn’t ever lose sight of her dream.”

But the dream isn’t finished: It won’t be until she can live and work here legally.

Hope amid tumult

That goal could become reality under a provision in President Obama’s proposed executive order, which includes revisions to the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. DACA, as it is known, excluded Rocío because she arrived here in 2008, one year too late. The Nov. 20 proposal, however, expands the cutoff to 2010 and gives those children a three-year reprieve from deportation and the opportunity to apply for the needed permit to work.

Republicans have threatened to block the president’s immigration action when Congress reconvenes in January. But amid the political tumult, Rocío — who has lobbied with fellow students for the stillunpassed DREAM Act in Washington, D.C. — and Wille-Racine stay optimistic.

Regardless of how one feels about Obama, Wille-Racine said, “at least he sees the richness and the powerfulness and the

THE PRESIDENT’S ACTION

extraordinariness of kids who don’t call their country home any more. These are kids with no country who see the only way to rise above poverty is through education.”

Petite with black hair just beyond her shoulders and a wide but rare smile, Rocío is one of 1.4 million undocumented students in the U.S. brought here by parents who entered illegally. Many, as in Rocío’s case, were searching for a better life. Each year, according to studies, about 65,000 undocumented students graduate from American high schools. But, impeded by financial hardship and lack of legal documentation, fewer than 10,000 enroll in college.

When Rocío graduated — with honors — from a Castle Rock high school in 2010, Colorado did not offer in-state tuition to undocumented students. So, with WilleRacine’s help, she enrolled in New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas, New Mexico., where she met criteria for in-state tuition offered also to students in her situation.

Today, 18 states allow in-state tuition rates for undocumented students. Fourteen do so through legislation. The first were California and Texas in 2001; New Mexico did so in 2005; Colorado joined the group in 2013.

Rocío, who has always wanted to be a teacher, remembers sitting in the office at Highlands’ School of Education: “The adviser … told me you can get an education, you can study to be a teacher. At the end, you’re not going to be eligible to teach because you have no legal status.”

The words shattered Rocío. She turned to Wille-Racine, tears in her eyes. “There is nothing for me here,” she said.

On Nov. 20, President Obama announced an executive immigration order to create a program that would allow 4 million to 5 million immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally to apply to work legally — as long as they have no criminal record, have lived in the U.S. for at least five years and have children. They could also qualify to become eligible for Medicare and Social Security.

The executive action also revises the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals by allowing children brought here illegally before 2010 to stay — previously, the year was 2007. It also removes the 30-year-old upper age limit and extends the two-year relief from deportation to three years. Under DACA, anyone with deferred action can apply for a work permit.

To qualify, children must: • Have come to the U.S. before their 16th birthday

Wille-Racine reassured her there would be something. “Politics are changing quickly,” she said. “In four years, we can decide if it was worth it or not.”

Accident changed all To fully understand the price of that leap of faith, you have to go back to the beginning of Rocío’s story.

The family lived in a town of fewer than 500 people about two hours southeast of Mexico City. Her father, who finished two years of elementary school, grew flowers to sell in the city. Her mother, who completed sixth grade, cared for the children.

Tragedy struck when Rocío’s 18-monthold sister was critically injured in a car accident. To provide the best medical care, her father borrowed money and sold everything he could, including the land on which he grew his flowers, to send her to a private hospital. Her sister eventually recovered, but her father could no longer earn enough to support the family.

“You have to have money to pay — if you don’t, that person is going to die,” Rocío said. After two months “we didn’t have any money. In Mexico, we couldn’t survive anymore.”

Her parents crossed the border in 2001

• Have continuously lived in the U.S. since Jan. 1, 2010 • Be in school, have graduated from high school, obtained a GED, or have been honorably discharged from the armed forces • Have not been convicted of a felony or serious misdemeanors The DREAM Act, which Congress still has not passed, is bipartisan legislation that would permit certain immigrant students who have grown up in the U.S. to apply for temporary legal status, and eventually permanent legal status, and become eligible for U.S. citizenship if they attend college or serve in the military. It would apply to most students who came here at age 15 or younger, have lived here continuously at least five years before the bill’s enactment and have no criminal record.

and ended up in Castle Rock, where he worked construction and landscaping and she cleaned hotels and businesses. The children stayed behind with grandparents, but Rocío — beginning at age 11 — essentially became the mom.

She bought groceries, cooked, got them ready for school, talked to teachers about their progress. Most importantly, she said, she kept them safe, including from drug dealers who wanted payments for security.

All the while, she excelled in her studies, winning top prizes in her classes.

“I was so anxious to learn, to know stuff,” she said. “I was happy because going to school was going to make a difference.”

But when it came time for high school, the family didn’t have the money to pay for the better private education in Mexico.

And the culture discouraged girls from continuing school. That included her family.

A teacher recommended Rocío study in the United States. It’s better over there, he said.

“Since that day,” she said, “I want to go to school. I want to go to school. I want to Healey continues on Page 9

Breakfast hosts state reps and senators

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Legislators from Adams and Jefferson counties made a stop in Westminster to share their goals for the upcoming session during the annual Metro North Chamber of Commerce legislative breakfast.

The Dec. 12 event featured three state senators, Laura Woods SD 19, Beth Martinez-Humenik SD 32, and Mary Hodge SD 25 and nine representatives including: Libby Szabo HD 27, Joe Salazar, HD 31, Dianne Primavera HD 33, Faith Winter HD 35, Tracy Kraft-Tharp HD 29, Dominick Moreno HD 32, Steve Lebsock HD 34, Kevin Priola HD 56 and Lori Saine HD 63.

The breakfast program offered an opportunity for the legislators to discuss their focus during the 2105 session and allowed the audience to ask questions.

As newly elected representatives, Martinez-Humenik, Winter and Lebsock were asked how they plan on bring their experience from the local government level to the capitol. Winter, who previously served on Westminster city council, said she plans on using her experience in working closing with people in her community to her advantage at the state level.

“Coming from local government you take the pot hole calls and the barking

Local state representatives and senators attended the annual Metro North Chamber of Commerce Legislative Breakfast on Dec. 12 in Westminster. Photo by Ashley Reimers dog calls so you really feel connected to your community,” she said. “That sets you up for success in listening to your community and really taking their hopes and dreams to the capitol.”

Lebsock’s response was geared around the need to work closely with other governmental entities. During his time on Thornton City Council he learned the value of intergovernmental agreements and the benefits of working together with other municipalities.

“It’s easy to put the blinders on and only look at what’s best for those you directly serve,” he said. “But the best government comes when you look around and

help others succeed.”

Mar tinez-Humenik, who also served on Thornton city council, said she hopes to bring her experience working with a budget, how to fund capital improvement projects and dealing with residents’ concerns to the state level.

Representatives Moreno and Szabo, who are both in leadership positions at the legislature, were asked what their priorities will be next session. Moreno, who was recently elected to serve as the majority assistant caucus chair, said he will focus on supporting members and ensuring every bill has a fair hearing.

“My priority is making

sure we have a fair process and that everyone feels they have a voice and that their ideas are heard,” he said.

Szabo, who is in her second team serving as assistant minority leader, said she takes her role very seriously to ensure her colleagues have the resources they need to achieve the work and goals of the caucus.

The representatives and senators were asked other questions varying from oil and gas to transportation.

When it came to education funding, just two representatives spoke up: Priola and Primavera. After many failed initiatives in Adams

County school districts, the question was asked about whether or not school districts in the state would see any funding relief.

Priola discussed the eminent growth in western Adams County and offered an idea surrounding a growth factor.

“Maybe there needs to be something to look at in school finance about a future growth factor,” he said.

“There are a lot of things the census can do in terms of projecting the population in the future.”

Primavera brought up the cost of state testing.

“I have met with school board members over the burden of testing and that

it really costs a lot of money and whether or not we are getting the biggest bank for our buck,” she said.

The representatives and senators will begin work at the state capitol in early January. For more information on the Colorado legislature, visit www.leg.state. co.us.

Jeffco GOP begins search for Griffin’s replacement Staff Report The vacancy committee for the Jeffco Republican party has begun the process to replace County Commissioner Faye Griffin who won the Nov. 4 election for Jeffco Clerk and Recorder.

Griffin is scheduled to leave her commissioner position halfway through her second term, and start her new position on Jan. 13, giving the Jeffco GOP a month to find her replacement.

“The Jefferson County Republican Party is prepared to meet Colorado statutory requirements to replace the commissioner and we will work to make the transition as smooth as possible,” said E.V. Leyendecker, Jeffco GOP chairman. “We will complete the process and fill the position within 10 days of her vacancy as county commissioner.”

Applications to be considered as commissioner for District 1 will be accepted until Monday, Dec. 29.

This is not the first time the vacancy committee has had to step in to find Griffin’s replacement. When elected as county treasurer, she later left the position after two years to pursue her campaign for county commissioner. Republican Tim Kauffman was selected to fill her remaining term as treasurer.

Interested parties living in District 1 (everything roughly north of State Highway 58) who may want to apply are urged to visit jeffcorepublicans.com for further details.

Did You Know? You Don’t Need a Suitable Roof to Benefit From Solar Power

By JIM SMITH, Realtor ®

When Rita and I bought our current home, one of our considerations was that we have a suitable roof for installing a solar photovoltaic system so that we could reduce our monthly electric bill to what the utility charges to be connected to their electric grid — about $8 per month.

Thanks, however, to the “Community Solar Gardens Act” signed into law June 5, 2010, we could have bought (or rented) any home at all and still installed that 10-kW system — as part of a much larger array in a field far from our house.

Now, 4½ years after that law was signed by Governor Ritter, hundreds or maybe thousands of homeowners, renters, and organizations across the state have done exactly that, and are now enjoying the same freedom from large electric bills that Rita and I enjoy.

Do a web search for “community solar gardens” and you’ll see that there are many entities, both for-profit and non-profit, in the solar garden business. Clean Energy Collective is one I’m most familiar with, since they built a 2,422-panel array on open land just north of Golden. Learn how you can participate in their program at www.EasyCleanEnergy.com.

Their website explains the concept well: “Community solar arrays, sometimes referred

to as a solar farm or solar garden, are centralized photovoltaic (PV) power facilities that deliver reliable, commercial-scale renewable energy to an electric utility's grid. The utility's customers, including residences, businesses, and tax-exempt entities, can own or lease solar panels in the array without having to install panels on their own rooftop or property.”

In effect, anyone with an electric bill can own or lease solar panels and have the panels’ production directly reduce their electric bill. Also, as a participant in a solar garden, you can easily add additional solar panels at any time. For example, when it comes time to replace your gas hot water heater or forced air furnace, you could choose electrically powered units and buy or lease additional panels to cover that added electrical load.

When your gasoline-powered automobile needs its next major repair, you could also purchase an electric car and buy or lease additional solar panels to cover that electrical load.

Even renters can buy into solar community arrays. When they move, their solar garden investment moves with them, or they can sell it to another electric customer, or even...

Beyond the moratorium Council finalizing details on marijuana restrictions

By Hugh Johnson Wheat Ridge City Council will soon vote on two ordinances that will affect marijuana retailers and manufacturers.

In the midst of a moratorium on licenses for marijuana establishments, council discussed a draft ordinance, detailing new restrictions and procedures for retail and medical marijuana stores and manufacturers Dec. 1.

Should the ordinance pass, the city

would limit the number of retail marijuana store fronts in Wheat Ridge to five. The ordinance would also place a cap of three on the number of marijuana manufacturers that can be in Wheat Ridge. Prior to the ordinance, there was no definite number cap on how many marijuana establishments could be in Wheat Ridge, the businesses simply had to comply with spatial restrictions including a three-fourth mile separation from other marijuana establishments and a 1000 foot distance from schools, day cares, alcohol and substance abuse clinics and campuses of colleges and universities The ordinance would also add a separate 1000 feet of space between marijuana

store fronts and the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center and improved city parks, meaning parks with playgrounds that have been specifically developed for families. This 1000-foot buffer would exclude undeveloped land such as the greenbelt.

The ordinance would also prohibit the use of the marijuana leaf in any signage and would require establishments that use a green cross as a symbol to reduce the size of the cross to two square feet or less.

The ordinance also proposes that marijuana establishments can house both medicinal and retail marijuana products in a single location so long both products serve a single function — i.e., a retail store could sell both medicinal and recreational mari-

juana but it can still only sell them both, it cannot manufacture one and sell the other.

District Four Councilwoman Genevieve Wooden believed that the co-location clause should be brought to the dais for council to vote on as a separate ordinance.

Council concurred.

Finally, the draft ordinance proposes that licensing for marijuana establishments be handled using the special use permit process. Such a process would require the applicant to would go before council and surrounding neighbors, and justify the need for a new business.

Council approves $14 million budget Wadsworth, Tabor and Gold Line projects funded

By Hugh Johnson Wheat Ridge City Council approved a resolution adopting the 2015 city budget at the Dec. 8 meeting. The resolution brought forth a proposed budget of $41,283,994.

However, final numbers will vary as coun-

cil made numerous amendments to the budget at the meeting.

The $41 million includes a general fund budget of $28,990,382 and a Capital Investment Program budget of $7,595,228. Projects in the Capital Investment Program include The Wadsworth Planning and Environmental Linkage Study, improvements to Tabor Street for the construction of RTD’s Gold Line, preventative street maintenance and drainage improvements among others.

Again these numbers are subject change due to amendments to the budget council made at the meeting. One such amendment brought forth by Councilman William Starker of District One, directs city staff to take $100,000 from the $3.3 million slated for preventative street maintenance and transfer those funds to the bike and pedestrian plan which would improve the city’s trails.

Starker also proposed that $2,500 be used as winner’s purse for a battle of the

bands event to be held as part of Wheat Ridge’s carnation festival which takes place just before the start of the school year.

Council also approved an amendment to the city budget for the inclusion of two speed trailers in order to curb speeding in local neighborhoods. District One Councilman Jerry DiTullio proposed the amendment. The trailers will cost $26,000 and the money will come from the city contingency fund.

VA catches heat for hospital dispute Congressional delegation blasts agency’s actions

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado’s congressional delegation last week blasted the Department of Veterans Affairs for its handling of a construction contract dispute that has further delayed the building of a new VA hospital and has left hundreds of workers in limbo.

A fast-moving news cycle began on Dec. 10, when a federal civilian board of appeals ruled that the VA was in breach of contract with the group it hired to build a state-ofthe-art veterans hospital in Aurora.

The contract dispute was over money.

The contractor, Kiewit-Turner, claimed

it could not finish work on the project at the price tag that the VA had originally set, which was $582.8 million. Kiewit-Turner said it would take about $1 billion to finish the work.

The Civilian Court of Contract Appeals ruled in favor of Kiewit-Turner, which resulted in the contractor abruptly stopping work at the site, located at Interstate 225 and Colfax Avenue. About 1,400 construction workers were employed at the site.

“Where we are right now is really unfortunate,” Republican Congressman Mike Coffman told Colorado Community Media. Coffman’s 6th Congressional District includes Aurora.

“Workers lost their jobs right before the holidays and it’s unfortunate for taxpayers who foot the bill and the veterans who earned health-care benefits that this hospital is needed to deliver.”

The day after the appeals board ruling was handed down, Coffman and every other member of Colorado’s congressional delegation attached their signatures to a letter to VA officials and higher-ups at Kiewit-Turner, urging the two to come together to find a solution.

“We are deeply concerned about this situation and urge VA and KT to immediately negotiate a path forward for this project,” the letter reads.

In the letter, the elected officials urged, “in the strongest terms possible,” for the negotiations to result in a modified contract that will allow construction to continue for 60 days while a long-term contract is worked out.

Any long-term contract will be handled by the Army Corps of Engineers, rather than the VA. That’s because on Dec. 11, the VA agreed to hand over construction over-

sight on the Aurora project to the Corps.

The next day, Coffman announced that he will introduce legislation to strip away the VA’s authority to manage all future construction projects.

Coffman cited a Government Accountability Office report that shows VA projects in four cities, including Aurora, to be hundreds of millions of dollars over budget and almost three years behind schedule.

“Really, this is a pattern of total mismanagement by the VA in major construction projects,” Coffman said.

Democratic Congressman Ed Perlmutter said in an emailed statement that the VA wanted a $1 billion medical center, but “the project was never redesigned to fit” the near-$600 million contract budget.

“There has been a serious dispute between the VA and the prime contractor for too long,” Perlmutter said.

JEFFCO BOARD OF EDUCATION ON THE RECORD The Jefferson County Board of Education discussed the following legislation at their Dec. 11 regular business meeting.

Board members in attendance were President Ken Witt, Secretary John Newkirk, Vice President Julie Williams, Second Vice President Lesley Dehlkemper, and Treasurer, Jill Fellman.

Getting into the game Program brings joy to students with disabilities

By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com For Jeffco students with disabilities, just getting a chance to play a sport can feel a lot like winning.

“Things that I never thought would be fun are fun,” said Juan Thrush, a junior with several disabilities from Lakewood High School.

Modeled after the Minnesota Adapted Athletics Association, Jeffco Adapted Athletics is a districtwide program serving 200 students with any number of physical or mental impairments, collectively referred to as Significant Severe Needs (SSN).

Through the program, students are given the opportunity to participate in physical education courses and athletic events.

“I’ve seen the impact this has on students in other states,” said Bryan Wickoren, founder of the program and physical education teacher at Sobesky Academy. “I did my undergrad there (Minnesota) and thought this is so cool, and here, 20-some years later, I’m here in Colorado and I’ve talked to a few folks and said hey, let’s do this.”

Tailored to students’ individual needs, the program adapts different sports, such as soccer and baseball, to allow students the ability to play each game on their level.

“All were doing is focusing on their ability not their disability” Wickoren said.

“We’re trying to get as much playing opportunity for these kids, they want to play they want to show, just like the gen-ed kids, ‘hey this is great, I’m having a blast, and this is fun.’”

Monthly, Jeffco Adapted Athletics hosts sporting events where 15 of the district’s 25 middle and high schools bring their participating athletes, their peer helpers, teachers, parents, cheerleaders, spirit squads and even a mascot, together for a meet.

“I’m more of a couch potato,” Thrush said, “doing things that are good for me

helps me connect to those around me.”

With no cost to students, the program allows individuals to partake in community and skill-building events during the school day. At each meet, students play 10 to 15 minute games of volleyball, soccer, bowling, basketball, softball, baseball, hockey, track and field, and an end-of season championship.

“It’s so much more than just the academic side of education,” said Jeffco Superintendent, Dan McMinimee. “Developing the whole child is important, so that’s why I think this is really cool because these kids get an opportunity to be involved in everything — no barriers, no walls that say you can’t do x, y and z, it’s let’s go do it, let’s have fun and that’s what I think is important.”

Halfway through the program’s seventh year, athletes and student helpers alike say it provides more than an opportunities to play sports, but also an opportunity to blend together and build community.

“It allows the kids to feel welcomed into our world and the society we live in,” said Ashley Aronoff, a junior peer helper from Conifer High School. “It’s a big family, and that’s what this class becomes.”

Looking ahead, Wickoren said he wants to see this program endorsed by the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) and be offered statewide.

“I would like to see this go statewide … there’s a bunch of areas, like the big-city school districts that do this,” he said. “I think it would be cool to see a state tournament, hand out a trophy; but it’s not all about that, it’s about giving them that same opportunity to compete and have fun and show their abilities.”

The next Jeffco Adapted Athletics meet will be for basketball, held Jan. 15, at the Gold Crown Field House, 150 S. Harlan St., Lakewood.

“It’s exciting to see what we’re doing, to see how its grown and how we’re giving more opportunities for these students to participate,” Wickoren said. “It’s so cool to see the thousands of smiles at the end of the day.”

GERARD HEALEY President MIKKEL KELLY Publisher and Editor GLENN WALLACE Assistant Editor VIC VELA State Desk and Legislative Editor

Shadows and light, making it right I heard this story once: A guy was walking down the street, when he falls in this hole. The hole is deep, the sides are steep and slick, and the guy is stuck.

As he’s looking up, he sees his doctor walk past. He yells up, he says, “Hey, doc!

I’m stuck in this hole here. Can you help me out?” So the doctor scribbles out a prescription on his pad, tosses it down to the guy, and goes on his way.

A few minutes later, the guy’s priest walks by. He yells up, he says, “Hey, Father!

I’m stuck – can you help me out?” So the priest pulls out his Rosary, says a “Hail, Mary,” blesses him, and goes on his way.

A little while later, the guy’s looking up, and he sees his friend walk by. He yells up, he says, “Hey! Can you help me out here?”

So the buddy stops and jumps down in the hole with him. The guy looks at his friend, incredulous, and yells, “You idiot! What are you doing? Now we’re both stuck in this hole!”

And the buddy smiles, and says, “Yeah, but I’ve been here before, and I know the way out.”

Last week I wrote about the importance of making connections with other people.

One of the hardest things to do, I’ve discovered in my short life, is connect with people who are in pain. And, tragically, too often we fall back on easy solutions

of medication or platitudes where what people really need is just someone to be beside them for a season.

(Before I go too much further, let me make it clear that I am writing opinions based on experience and observation, not research or training. This is just me here.)

I think one of the hardest things to admit in modern society is how flawed we all are. Modern life has forced the instinct to hide our warts to metastasize into a survival mechanism. Either that, or people revel in announcing all their flaws, demanding that the camera remain on them while they bleed for a greedy public (Kardashian who?)

Thing is, we all have our flaws and our warts — not a one of us comes through life unscarred. Which means that every one of us has been in some hole somewhere that we can help somebody else out of. But we have to have the courage to admit to our

flaws, and the empathy to notice other people when they’re hurting.

And, for whatever reason, this time of year seems to magnify the depth and darkness of our holes. Ironic that the holiest season of the year is the one that most highlights our own dearth of whole-ness and sinks us into our deepest holes. But, irony aside, I also believe this is a season with an unmatched capacity to heal — yes, this is the season with the longest nights; but it is also the season in which we meet that darkness with the beauty of Christmas lights.

So, this week, the last one before Christmas, try to take an intentional break from your own hustle and bustle, and look around for holes that once had your name on them. Then, carry your own light down in there and see if you can’t lead somebody out of the darkness. That connection may send ripples out into time that do great good some day.

At the very least, you can push back the darkness for a few moments. And, most days, that’s a fine accomplishment.

Local news beats national news When I worked as an on-call hospital chaplain, I checked in with the head of nursing at Good Samaritan Hospital in Lafayette. “How are things going in the hospital today?” I asked.

“I’m having a bad day,” she said. “We’ve had five heart attacks.”

Surprised at the number, I asked, “Why do you think so many?”

“It’s the news. It’s too traumatic!”

I started thinking about how the presentation and emphasis of bad news on the front pages of major newspapers affects me. As a journalist I feel I must be informed and read newspapers and watch television news.

But I agree with her observation of how the bad news causes stress. And stress contributes to heart attacks. The Onion spoof of producers at CNN trying to dream up the best crisis to terrify people was dead on. Personally I can only take

go to school … I didn’t know I was going to walk. I didn’t know it was so dangerous. I just knew I wanted to go to school.”

Rocío’s parents had returned to Mexico in 2004 when her grandmother died. A year later, her dad went back to Castle Rock. And in February 2008, her mother decided to rejoin him and bring Rocío and her then-five younger siblings. They tried to get student visas to emigrate legally, Rocío said, but didn’t have enough money.

So, with a guide and Rocío’s uncle, they crossed the border on foot.

Rocío and the adults carried the heaviest of six bags, which held tuna, bread, beans and gallons of water — enough, they thought, for four days. They walked mostly at night and slept under bushes during daylight. They crossed deserts, mountains, highways and ranches. They skirted an airport. They ran out of water on the second day. By the third day, the two men gave up their food portions so the children could eat.

On the fourth day, as the group walked along train tracks near a factory in Arizona, a man saw them and began talking on his phone.

“Ya nos echaron la migra — they’ve called immigration,” her uncle yelled.

“Scatter and run!”

Her uncle covered Rocío’s mother, two sisters and a brother with sand in a nearby dry creek bed. Another brother climbed up a tree. Rocío jumped into a dumpster filled with trash. She heard dogs barking and police talking. She stayed there for hours, until her uncle came for her.

“It was something I hope I never have to live again,” she said.

That evening, they reached a hotel in a town called Guadalupe, south of Phoenix where her father — who in 2010 received a work permit — picked them up. He took them to Wal-Mart to buy food and clothes.

“Oh, my God,” Rocío said, as she wandered through the store. “This is amazing.”

Strange new world

In Castle Rock, Rocío entered school in March as a sophomore — 14 credits transferred from her high school in Mexico.

“The first day I was so scared, I didn’t talk to anyone,” she said. “The only thing I knew how to say was `Hi.’ I was happy to be able to continue my education. I was eating lunch and I told myself, `You have to work hard — this isn’t going to be easy.’”

It wasn’t.

Many days, the frustration of being unable to communicate in English, the struggle academically, the isolation socially, left her in tears. That’s how Wille-Racine met her, crying, huddled in a corner behind a teacher’s desk.

“I saw those little eyes looking at me

so much of heart shaking news of things happening outside Colorado i.e. massacres in foreign countries, kidnappings, beheadings, torture reports of the CIA. Many of us feel stressed and helpless listening to some of the national news, and most of the International drama-trauma news. The presentation of crisis news has been ramped up since I was younger.

As a consumer of news, we know we can’t do anything about the horror stories and we absorb the fear. One friend told me,

and I said, `Well, hello,’” Wille-Racine said.

“That moment changed the rest of my life.”

That moment threw Wille-Racine, a Spanish and English as a Second Language teacher and mother of 15-year-old twins, into an unfamiliar world she would come to know intimately — the limbo and uncharted territory of undocumented students. And Rocío’s determination to succeed in school, despite the unceasing obstacles, moved her deeply.

“She was fierce,” Wille-Racine said. “So I decided to be fierce right along her side.”

When it came time for college, the teacher and the student figured it out as they went: whom to call, where to go, what to do.

On her end, Rocío scrambled to find ways to pay for the education she so desperately wanted. She worked two jobs during summers, including cleaning hotels.

She borrowed money from friends, which she later repaid. She won a $6,000 scholarship. She cleaned and cooked in return for room and food. At times, she gave up food money for tuition money.

Teachers and friends of Wille-Racine also helped by contributing money, clothes, transportation and, sometimes, simply a helping hand.

Whenever an obstacle appeared, WilleRacine would take a deep breath and wait until, she said, God would work some magic.

“I always felt responsible to make something happen,” Wille-Racine said.

“She was just looking to me for all the answers, and half the time I didn’t have them.”

Said Rocío: “Lisa, she always, always had hope.”

Blossoming in college

College changed everything for Rocío.

In high school, she’d often felt alone, invisible. At Highlands, she realized there were many people like her — undocumented, fighting to attend college, working two or three jobs just to be able to go to school.

“I found a family,” she said.

That newfound community helped her gain confidence, to believe she could make a difference and give back to a society that had given her so much.

She joined student organizations that worked with immigration issues at local, state and national levels. They trained administrators about immigration laws, provided legal help to students applying for deferred status, protested and lobbied for change, traveled to conferences to educate themselves about undocumented issues in other states.

In November 2013, Rocío traveled to Washington, D.C., with a student organization to lobby for immigration reform.

The group staged a mock Thanksgiving dinner in the early morning hours in front of House Speaker John Boehner’s house to show how the holiday would be sad for

“The more fear they drum up on television news, the more people buy advertised products, strategically following the news. Fear sells ads!” I knew he was right.

In contrast local community news contains stories we can do something about, stories about our own communities and even stories about people we know. Sure there’s bad news in our communities such as murders, but it doesn’t feel so earth shaking, so heart shaking as the huge headlines on major papers which seem to scream and shout about a crisis and offer very little hope. I’m not for suppressing the news, but rather toning down the way it’s presented.

As a columnist, I prefer writing upbeat columns go into local papers. I get silly and serious. It is an outlet for me. Humorist Robert Benchley said so well in his essay How I Create: “And so you see how we creative artists work. It really isn’t like any

other kind of work, for it must come from a great emotional upheaval in the soul of the writer himself; and if that emotional upheaval is not present, it must come from the works of any other writers which happen to be handy and easily imitated.”

Ha! Local news coverage keeps me connected to my community and covers things I can do something about. It feels personal and kinder in intent. I don’t feel helpless. And limiting my exposure to “crisis-trauma news” helps keep my heart healthy.

children separated from families because of deportation. Then students headed to the Capitol to talk to senators and protest for immigration change.

“I’ve become an activist,” Rocío said.

“I’ve become a fighter for my undocumented community. I’ve become a person unafraid …”

The opportunities that college has provided her, Rocío said, solidified her willingness to step into the open despite possible legal consequences.

“I’m still insecure in this country,” she said. “They can deport me any time. But we have to make a difference. If we are afraid, nothing is going to happen and we will be the same — invisible people living here. If we the students don’t make the change, nobody is going to make it for us.”

She is proud of what she’s accomplished, particularly that she’s set a path for others to follow. Two brothers, also undocumented, are also at Highlands.

“I don’t know how to describe how I feel,” Rocío said. “I just feel special, lucky to go to college, to be the first person in my family to finish high school, to finish college. It makes me feel I should work even more.”

Last spring, her sister Miriam, who graduates from high school in May, wrote

this for her high school publication: “My sister, Rocío, is my hero, because when my parents had to come to the United States to work to be able to … buy what we needed, she was 15 years old.

She took care of me, my sister and two brothers, and she had to go to school, too … When we moved here … a lot of people would tell her she wouldn’t go further in school because she didn’t understand English. But … she never gives up. Now, she is almost done with college.”

On Dec. 12, Rocío received her degree in Spanish with a minor in Native American-Hispano studies. She would like to pursue a master’s in education in curriculum and instruction.

She would like to teach.

But she can’t — she doesn’t have a Social Security number or a work permit.

So she waits. And hopes.

And continues to look into her heart for the truth she has carried with her always: “Education is the only key to success.”

The New Year’s Eve Bootlegger Ball will take place beginning at 8 p.m. Dec. 31 and will feature three floors of entertainment with two different access levels.

“We’re going to change the way Denver does New Year’s Eve,” said Joe Vostrejs, of the Union Station Alliance. “Union Station is an amazing venue in the heart of the city. We’re planning an exciting night of surprises and a party that really takes it up a notch.”

The Bootlegger Ball will feature live music, a DJ, complimentary drinks and bubbles, a private speakeasy and a countdown to midnight that no other venue can produce. The event will only be accessible to ticket holders. Tickets are sold on two levels at www.unionstationindenver.com: general admission is $150 per person, and exclusive access to The Cooper Lounge and admission to the Great Hall and Speakeasy is $475 per couple/two people.

Both admission levels can be combined with a stay at The Crawford Hotel at Denver Union Station. The New Year’s packages that evening include two tickets to the celebration, late checkout and discounted rates two days before and after New Year’s for an extended stay. The Countdown at the Cooper package also includes breakfast in the Cooper Lounge on New Year’s Day. Find the Bootlegger Ball package at www.thecrawfordhotel. com or call 720-460-3700.

The Edge hosts world premiere of holiday show

By Clarke Reader

T

he holiday season is built on traditions and while those traditions vary from family to family, they make the season.

But what happens when those traditions go under the microscope? Are they really all that important — and if they are, what makes them so?

The Edge Theater asks these very questions in the world premiere of Ellen K. Graham’s holiday comedy “The Familiars.”

The show runs at the theater, 1560 Teller St., through Dec. 28. Performances are Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., Sunday Dec. 7, 14 and 21 at 6 p.m. and Sunday Dec. 21 and 28 at 2 p.m. The theater will host an ugly sweater night on Dec. 12.

For several seasons The Edge has celebrated the holidays with the creation of new work, and “The Familiars” follows suit.

“It’s the product of numerous workshops with Angela Astle (the director) and the actors,” Graham said. “It’s all a play on the theme of traditions, which I think is very universal.”

Astle said she asked questions about the holiday traditions and memories of the actors, and Graham was able to use those stories to craft the play and characters.

“This all started because we recognized there’s a lack of unique holiday shows,” Astle said. “The workshopping started about a year-and-a-half ago with all these questions and acting exercises. By the first draft, Ellen was already 85 percent there.”

Graham continued to fine tune the script and while she hasn’t been in attendance in every rehearsal, she has been kept in the loop as the production developed and grew.

“It’s always thrilling to see what the actors, director and designers find,” she said. “Theater is such a collaborative art form and it’s amazing to see the show develop.”

Fashion truck hits street

The family at the center of “The Familiars” is suffering a yuletide conundrum when their holiday traditions are suddenly in jeopardy. Photo by Rachel D. Graham Photography In the show, Honora Burdock (Carol Bloom) is all about holiday traditions: the meticulously staged family photos, the cookie-baking marathons, even the turducken. When Christmas Eve rolls around the family has gathered, but Honora just doesn’t have the spirit she normally does.

Her three children— dutiful but commitment-phobic Kath (Paula Jayne Friedland), people-pleaser and occasional huffer Dom (Augustus Truhn), glamorous and inefficient Chris (Patty Ionoff ) —must step up and fill her role and hilarity ensues as the family tries to move forward.

The show is family friendly and recommended for at least teen aged children.

“The show is completely different for me, but it’s been really enjoyable to do more of a screwball comedy,” Graham said. “It’s also been fun to write for actors that I didn’t know and getting to see how they work together.”

For Astle, “The Familiars” is a chance to tell a different kind of Christmas story — something that can serve as a palette cleanser for those who get overloaded during the holidays.

“It’s very accessible and there’s definitely room in the cannon,” she said.

“It doesn’t get too dark and depress-

ing — it’s a piece everyone can come together and find something human in the family.”

Both Graham and Astle said the production highlights The Edge’s commitment to providing theater-goers with brand new works.

“The Edge has built a reputation on new pieces, and this is still in line with what we do while being a holiday show,” Astle said. “The Edge is the theater for those with an appreciation for something unique.”

Health agency urges public to quit smoking

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Jefferson County Public Health is encouraging residents to work toward putting their cigarettes out for good through its end of the year quitting smoking initiative.

The JCPH Tobacco Prevention Initiative is urging tobacco users to set a quit date by Jan. 1 as part of their 2015 New Year’s resolution.

“There is no perfect quitting resource program, quitting is a learning process,” said Donna Viverette, Tobacco Prevention Initiative coordinator for Jeffco Public Health. “It’s really about having a plan for yourself.”

Viverette has worked for years raising awareness about the deadly effects of using tobacco through JCPH’s Tobacco Prevention Initiative, and has assisted in helping people break free of their dependencies.

“I don’t think it’s impossible to quit,” she said.

The success in quit-

This year, Bookcliff Vineyards took home its fourth Jefferson Cup for its 2013 Malbec and The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey earned its first Jefferson Cup for its 2012 Merlot Reserve. Both Bookcliff Vineyards and The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey were also represented in the 2014 Colorado Governor’s Cup Case for their Malbec and Merlot, respectively. Other Colorado wineries that were invited and garnered awards were Anemoi, Boulder Creek Winery, Canyon Wind Cellars, Grand River Vineyards, and Whitewater Hill Vineyards.

“What we are doing is following Mr. Jefferson’s example and allowing every quality wine-producing region in America a place at our table,” said Frost. “Each year we select great wines from across America; the 2014 competition included wines from 25 states.”

The two-day competition, Nov. 20 and 21 in Kansas City, Mo., culminated with the awarding of 38 Jefferson Cup Awards to 11 white wines, 20 red wines and seven dessert wines. Jefferson Cups were awarded to wines made from both Vitis vinifera vines (a European species responsible for wines such as Chardonnay and Merlot) and non-vinifera vines, which flourish in the more extreme climates in the center portion of the United States.

The pending ordinance takes effect on Jan. 1.

“We’ve had a very positive response from our community,” said Karlyn Tilley, communications manager for the City of Golden.

Tilley updated city council on staff’s efforts to prepare merchants and residents of the smoking ban.

Staff identified 80 locations for no smoking signs to be placed that include two signs at MillerCoors’ parking lot for tourists waiting to visit the brewery.

“They (Jeffco Public Health) have done absolutely a tremendous job spreading the word to all of our businesses,” Tilley said to city council members on Thursday, Dec. 11. “They have gone to each business one by one and sat there and asked questions and answered questions and helped them understand.”

As defined by the ordinance, infringement on smoke-free areas will be met with a civil citation

that includes a $50 fine for the first offense.

But writing a ticket will be a last resort, said Golden Police Chief Bill Kilpatrick.

“It is not our intent to create criminals,” he said.

City staff like Tilley voiced that they would like to see the ordinance enforced through communication and friendly reminders from residents.

As Colorado continues to move forward in isolating the exposure to second-hand smoke, JCPH will continue to reach out to smokers — and those trying to quit — to inform them that success is within reach.

“If the plan doesn’t work, it’s not about you failing,” Viverette said. “It’s literally that resource you tried or that activity you tried didn’t match your needs at the moment,” she said. “We really encourage people to set a plan for themselves and think about it as being in training — so that all it is, is what’s the next step.”

Polar Express ends in success

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com The Polar Express Train Ride has turned out to be an epic success for the Colorado Railroad Museum’s newest Christmas event.

Tickets sold out for the entire run before the second weekend’s performance, said Donald Tallman, executive director for the Colorado Railroad Museum.

“We won’t be adding any days this year,

maybe a few more next year,” Tallman said.

The museum printed 7,500 tickets for its inventory that was scheduled to last for the entire six week production which runs for 22 days from Nov. 21 to Dec. 28.

Ticket sales grossed nearly $300,000 but Tallman said net income will be less than half that amount due to expenses. “It was a big risk, because we had no idea what first year ticket sales were going to be,” he said.

“It was well worth the risk, both in terms of return of investment, but also in terms of the joy that it has brought to the families.”

For the first time, the railroad museum

veered off its usual holiday themed train rides, and produced a theatrical production of the popular children’s book; The Polar Express. The event immerses the audiences into The Polar Express journey as guests are escorted onto an historical train car acting as the express, where actors play out scenes from the book, complete with dancing and singing chefs who serve hot chocolate and a cookie to passengers. The book is then read aloud and guests are brought to the “North Pole” where Santa appears and gives everyone a silver bell.

“I anticipate that it will sell out quickly

when we make tickets available in August,” Tallman said.

“It’s magical, and once you’ve experienced it, you believe. It’s going to become a new family tradition in the Denver Metro area,” Tallman said. “People who have experienced the magic of this event have already told us this is going to become their new family tradition.”

Next year, tickets will go on sale in August with museum members getting the first pick in July.

“I’m sure we’ll be sold out by Sept. 1!”

Tallman said.

County passes new senior housing option Some foothills residents not happy with zoning change

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com It took a few refinements and many meetings but the board of county commissioners gave a green light for a revised zoning resolution that lessens restrictions for the development and use of Accessory Dwelling Units in unincorporated Jeffco.

ADU’s are a second unit accessory to a main house that may be attached or separate from the primary property, and contains a kitchen.

A lengthy review of the ADU zoning regulation headed by county staff was heavily influenced by Aging Well Project in Jeffco, a strategic planning group that focuses on

preparing the county for the expected increase in its senior population.

“The Aging Well in Jefferson County’s Housing Workgroup is very pleased with the Board of County Commissioners’ approval to make changes to the ordinances regarding ADUs,” said Susan Franklin, project manager for Aging Well in Jeffco.

“The Housing Workgroup has worked on this for years, doing research and providing information to the Planning and Zoning Department,” she said. “This is another option for seniors to age in place or near a caregiver. We applaud the Board for their thoughtful consideration of seniors and others in the community.”

Updated criteria for ADU’s in unincorporated Jeffco includes; allowing ADUs on lots between 7,500 sq. ft. up to one acre, a maximum height of 25 feet or height of existing structure, whichever is less; no more than three people living in an ADU, the owner of the property must reside in either

the ADU or the primary unit.

Some foothills residents and HOA representatives were left with concerns regarding enforcement of the number of required persons living in an ADU and site designs for properties over one acre.

“We ask you to be lease be sure that your actions today provide the mountain areas with the same level of protection to our natural resources and thus our property values and lifestyle as afforded by the community plans now in effect,” said Jim Pennington of Conifer to the Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday, Dec. 10. “We believe the staff proposed ADU addendum fails to provide this level of protection and needs to be changed.”

Pennington proposed that county staff add a restriction to converting outbuildings to ADUs. Instead, commissioners passed the revised zoning regulation which added language to address site design that permits

ADUs on lots greater than one acre to be located so there is no more than 50 ft. of separation between the ADU and the main property, or demonstrates to the zoning administrator that impacts of the ADU on the site has been minimized on meadows, slopes greater than 30 percent, wildlife areas, ridgelines, view corridors and wildlife hazard areas.

“I would acknowledge some of the concerns of the residents but point to the fact that the demand for ADUs is very, very small. The need is great but we’re not going to see dozens and dozens,” said Eric Listou, Evergreen resident and member of the Aging Well in Jeffco’s Housing Workgroup.

“This is intended to meet a very small but very significant portion of our need in the community. It does not increase density because our communities are designed for higher density than we currently have, so it becomes a very efficient use of our space and our planning.”

To feds, pot business smells suspicious The handling of money is a conundrum for shops

By Katie Kuntz Rocky Mountain PBS I-News The federal government is stockpiling hundreds of “suspicious activity reports” that could provide federal agents with sufficient evidence to shut down any statelegalized marijuana business.

While it may appear that federal authorities have taken a wait-and-see approach to marijuana legalization in the 23 states that now allow either medical or recreational use, these reports are poised like a blade over the budding industry should federal laws be enforced.

This risk of federal prosecution has led some cannabis companies to literally launder their money.

“You used to be able to just smell it,” said Jennifer Waller, vice president of the Colorado Bankers Association, speaking of the cash from marijuana shops. “But now they are using Febreze a lot, putting the money in dryers, a lot of different things to try to disguise the scent because marijuana has such a distinct odor.”

And that distinct odor is considered a red flag by federal authorities who require that banks file a suspicious activity report for every transaction that might be associated with illegal activity, including selling marijuana, even for state licensed businesses.

“It’s because of the illegal nature of it,” Waller said. “In banking, if you are accepting the funds from a marijuana company and you are aware of it … you can be charged with money laundering yourself.”

Banks fear the repercussions of holding deposits related to marijuana, still a Schedule I illegal drug under federal law.

That could mean prison time for individual tellers, fines for the bank, and the bank could even lose its federal deposit insur-

ance, meaning it could be also be closed.

If a marijuana store is charged with money laundering, it could lose everything.

“Even before a conviction, the feds could freeze your assets,” said Chris Myklebust, commissioner of the Colorado Division of Financial Services. “And if there is a money laundering conviction, the feds can seize the assets, too.”

The federal government has already collected more than 1,100 reports that implicate different cannabis companies in financial crimes nationwide.

“Just in a moment’s notice, the U.S. Justice Department could literally take down every single dispensary in Colorado, probably within about a day.” said Rob Corry, a Denver attorney and marijuana advocate.

Corry has worked on several cases where federal agents have seized assets — cars, cash, bank accounts — though many of the records are sealed and it’s hard to gauge just how often this occurs.

More often, banks simply shut down marijuana-related accounts. Between February and August 2014, banks filed more than 475 “Marijuana Termination” suspicious activity reports — indicating they closed hundreds of accounts because of possible criminal activity.

“I’ve lost my personal bank account, my brothers have lost their personal bank accounts,” said Sally Vander Veer, operator of Medicine Man dispensary in Denver. The dispensary also lost its account in August.

She says that without a bank account, all Medicine Man employees are paid in cash.

“I can’t protect them. They walk out of here with a pocket full of cash and, in essence, they become another target and a potential victim of not having banking in the marijuana industry,” Vander Veer said.

The dilemma has resulted in private businesses like Blue Line Protection Group that employ former military or law enforcement officers equipped with hand-

Cash is collected at a Strainwise marijuana store in Denver on Nov. 17, 2014. Legal marijuana businesses are a cashheavy operation and many stores rely on armored car services like Blue Line for cash transportation and protection.

“When we started, the clients we were picking up had a manager taking (cash) in a Honda Civic or some kind of Subaru, unarmed, no vests, no tactics, no skills,” said Dominic Powelson, who works for Blue Line Protection Group. “People are gladly saying, `Yeah, just go, we will pay you some money to do it for us.’ ” State regulators in Colorado and Washington have also tried to ease access to banking. Mycklebust, the Colorado financial services commissioner, issued a charter to the first ever marijuana-focused credit union in November. The new credit union will not immediately have federal credit insurance, although it has applied.

Mycklebust said the new credit union must also file suspicious activity reports.

The so called “SARs” stem from the guidelines set forth by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, a branch of the U.S. Treasury Department.

The guidelines were meant to ease access to banks.

“Banks are required by law to report when they think that a business is making money from something illegal, and marijuana is still federally illegal,” said Steve

Hudak, spokesman for FinCEN. “We attempted to provide guidance that would help to get cash off the streets and some of the public danger that is associated with that, so we went about as far as we could.”

But the guidelines didn’t actually legalize banking for marijuana businesses — only Congress can do that. And so far, Congressional leaders have been opposed. “(FinCEN’s) guidance is dangerously misleading,” wrote U.S. Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., in a letter of reprimand to the agency. “Indeed, following the guidance may expose financial institutions to civil or criminal liability.”

Still, some U.S. representatives from Colorado and other states have introduced legislation to federally legalize state-approved marijuana, or at least legalize the industry’s access to banking. But those bills have not advanced.

As is, state-approved marijuana businesses operate solely as a matter of federal discretion. And that could change at any time.

Review: Moore exquisite in ‘Alice’

By Jocelyn Noveck Associated Press

When we refer to an actor’s performance as breathtaking, we’re usually engaging in hyperbole. Rarely do we mean it actually affected our ability to breathe.

But during “Still Alice,” watching the vital, sharply intelligent woman played

by Julianne Moore slowly cede her mental faculties — and, most painfully, her identity — to Alzheimer’s disease, I found myself frequently needing to gulp in big breaths of air, merely to steel myself for the next scene.

Of course this is partly due to the nature of the material. There’s no way to tell a story about Alzheimer’s that isn’t ultimately devastating, and writers-directors Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland clearly had no intention of sugar-coating the cruelty of this disease.

But as its title suggests, “Still Alice,” based on the novel by neuroscientist Lisa Genova, is about one woman, and thankfully we have Moore, one of our most sen-

sitive and nuanced actresses, in the role.

She gives a warm, brave and shattering performance here — one that’s already earning accolades, and deserves many more before awards season ends.

We first meet Alice, a linguistics professor at Columbia, as she’s celebrating her 50th birthday with family. Chic and accomplished, she’s managed to work and travel and raise three adult kids in a beautiful home. She and her husband, John (Alec Baldwin), also an academic, live in a lovely brownstone with a great kitchen.

But one day, while giving a lecture, Alice suddenly stops, mid-sentence. She can’t remember a key word. She recovers nimbly with a joke, but we shudder. Back home, taking her usual jog around campus, she gets lost. The camera blurs, along with the connections in her brain. We shudder again. We know what’s coming.

The meeting with the neurologist, for example, where her memory lapses become clear. Her first warning to her husband that something’s wrong — he brusquely dismisses her worst fears, as many would to protect themselves. The

diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s. The devastating news that her children might carry the gene.

Time passes — too quickly, of course.

Alice tries to keep working, but that proves unrealistic. Also unrealistic is that loved ones, in such circumstances, would behave like saints. Of course they don’t. Alice’s younger daughter, Lydia (an excellent Kristen Stewart), goes through a self-indulgent phase, struggles to make room for her mother’s affliction.

“Still Alice” is rated PG-13 “for mature thematic material, and brief language including a sexual reference.” , struggles to make room for her mother’s affliction. And John, as subtly portrayed by Baldwin, has trouble balancing his devotion to his wife with fears for the future, and with his own career goals.

But though these two relationships are key, the movie distinguishes itself from others about Alzheimer’s by being, essentially, about Alice’s relationship with Alice.

It’s about her fight to retain what she can of herself — to remain the person that she knows.

A bitter twist, of course, is that Alice is a linguistics professor — an expert in communicating. As her abilities fade, she agrees nonetheless to address a medical conference, and we’re so afraid to see her get up there, a trembling shadow of the confident teacher she once was. But this scene — especially for the message she manages to impart — is one of the film’s most powerful.

There’s a behind-the-scenes element to the movie that makes it all the more poignant. In 2011, co-director Glatzer saw a doctor about slurred speech and discovered he was suffering from ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. He directed the movie using a speech-to-text app on his iPad. Alzheimer’s attacks the mind and ALS the body, but both attack one’s sense of identity.

As the directors express so well in “Still Alice,” with the help of Moore’s memorable performance, holding onto that identity is what keeps us alive and vital and connected to the world. ning time: 99 minutes.

Reading aloud to children from birth

The American Academy of Pediatrics believes reading aloud is so important they now recommend families read to infants as a daily fun activity. That’s right. Read from birth.

The group recognizes that an important part of brain development occurs during the first three years of life and that reading aloud to children enhances vocabulary and other important communication skills.

Along with talking and singing, reading increases the number of words that young children hear during their growing years. Research has shown that children who are read to have heard significantly more words than children who do not have this experience.

Gap begins at 18 months New research suggests this gap begins as early as 18 months of age! It is critical to develop these pre-literacy skills for success in school. The benefits of a real

your own questions. That’s OK. Go to the library and allow very young children to select books that they want to hear from the boxes of durable books with thick pages and bright colorful illustrations.

Choose some that you would like to share with them. Plan to read aloud for at least 10 minutes twice a day. Just before a nap or bedtime works well. Also take advantage of bath time and riding in the car to sing songs and repeat nursery rhymes together.

person reading aloud cannot be duplicated with modern digital media.

How do we go about establishing a read-aloud program at home? Hold babies in your lap or snuggle up under the covers. Read aloud from a variety of children’s books. As they grow, allow children to help turn the pages. Read the words together. Tell the story from pictures. Ask questions such as: What do you see? What does it remind you of?

What do you wonder about? For a few years you might be asking and answering

What else can we do?

Ask your children’s librarian for additional book suggestions. Check out “The Read Aloud Handbook” by Jim Trelease or go to trealease-on-reading.com for more titles and book reviews.

What have other families done? Alice Ozma described her childhood experience of being read to by her father in the book, “The Reading Promise.” They had

always enjoyed reading time from early on.

When she was in 4th grade, they made a promise to read aloud together for 100 consecutive nights. When they reached this goal, they decided to go on as long as they could. The streak continued until the day that she left for college. In addition to her academic success, Ozma says many life lessons were shared and many adolescent pitfalls avoided by the bonding they shared through reading. A list of books they read is included.

Book takes a spin in elf land

“Memoirs of an Elf ” by Devin Scillian, illustrated by Tim Bowers 2014, Sleeping Bear Press $16.99 / $17.99 Canada 32 pages Your mom and dad take their jobs very seriously.

They get to work on time and they do a good job. Sometimes, they might even stay late to finish a project because it’s important to be responsible. That’s a lesson they’ve taught you because you take your aroundthe-house jobs seriously, too.

You always do your chores right because people depend on you. But in the new book “Memoirs of an Elf” by Devin Scillian, illustrated by Tim Bowers, an important job is done correctly because Christmas depends on it!

It’s Christmas Eve, a quarter to ten, and Spark Elf is getting antsy. In just two hours, he and his fellow elves Bobbin and Nutshell will help Santa deliver presents. The reindeer are ready, the sleigh is full, and because he feels “so good,” Spark snaps an elfie.

At quarter to eleven, with an hour to go, it starts to snow and that makes Spark really happy. It would make him even happier if Santa would hurry up. Santa says Spark wor-

ries too much.

And then it’s “launch time!”

Guam and Fiji are first for gift delivery, followed by New Zealand . Santa starts singing his favorite Christmas carol, and he stops to pet every dog. Santa loves dogs, and they love him, but that takes time and there’s none to spare. As Santa plays with a puppy named Tugboat, Spark says it’s time to go.

At halfway around the world and with the bag half-empty, the sleigh starts falling behind. Santa needs to step it up, but he’s too busy enjoying the cookies that kids have left for him. Santa loves cookies – except ginger snaps. Those are the ones he gives to Spark, Bobbin, and Nutshell.

Spark would love it if you’d leave more gingersnaps.

With nine hours to go, they finish Mexico City . Four hours to go, and they’re done with

“Memoirs of an Elf” by Devin Scillian South America so Santa takes a minute to play with the toys. Spark urges him to hurry.

It’s almost Christmas morning…

And with a half-hour to go, they finish!

But there’s something left in Santa’s sack.

It’s something very important that someone will miss very, very much. Can St. Nick save Christmas in the nick of time?

Oh my, but there’s all kinds of cute inside “Memoirs of an Elf.” Spark Elf may be my new Christmas hero, in fact, because author Devin Scillian gives him a Type-A personality mixed with just the right kind of holiday sweetness. Spark is businesslike and efficient, yet he still appre-

H oli day w o r s

ciates the tiny things that make the Yule cool, and he’s eager to share secrets with kids who are lucky enough to have this book.

But Spark isn’t the only irresistible thing here: I was totally charmed by the illustrations from Tim Bowers. They made me want to read this book all over again.

This is not your traditional Christmas story, but reading it surely could become a new tradition for your family. It’s meant for children ages 5-to-10, but “Memoirs of an Elf” is serious fun for anyone.

Rams left in good shape Prices put ski industry in bind McElwain’s departure shouldn’t doom program

By Pat Graham

Snow sports trend more toward wealthy

By Thomas Peipert Associated Press

In 2010, the price of walk-up, single-day lift ticket at Vail and Beaver Creek ski resorts topped $100. Aspen quickly followed suit, and ticket prices at resorts across the country have consistently increased in the years since. The trend has raised a question that has dogged the ski industry for years: Is the sport becoming unaffordable for the middle class?

Industry leaders say that even though last-minute lift tickets at some resorts now exceed $100, skiing has never been more affordable, if you’re savvy about discounts.

Despite the availability of deals, a report commissioned in August by the National Ski Areas Association found that skiing in the U.S. has increasingly become a sport for the wealthy. The percentage of people who participate in snow sports with household incomes over $100,000 has risen over the past eight seasons from 45 percent of ski area visitors in the 2006-07 season to 56 percent of visitors in the 2013-14 season, according to the report.

Meanwhile, visits by those with household incomes under $50,000 dropped from 30 percent to 19 percent over the same period. The number of visitors who make between $50,000 and $99,999 remained steady over the years at about 25 percent.

“Snow sports participants continue to skew significantly more affluent than the general U.S. population,’’ according to the report, which was based on surveys of skiers and snowboarders at 87 U.S. resorts.

The resorts surveyed hosted 31.9 million of the nation’s 56.5 million skier and snowboarder visits last winter.

David Becher, who helped write the report, said the drop in participation by people earning under $50,000 may have been due to the recession, but “now that the economy is improving, we might see lowerincome segments in the population having more confidence.’’ He also cited other possible explanations for a lack of participation at lower income levels, including interests in other sports and lack of exposure to the sport among those who grew up in nonskiing families.

Michael Berry, president of the NSAA, said ski resorts are working to attract participants from all income brackets.

“The trend certainly over the past decade has been to make the price lower, in toto,’’ he said. Ways to save money include half-day access, skiing at smaller resorts,

and discounts for kids, seniors and groups.

Evan Reece, co-founder and CEO of San Francisco-based Liftopia, an online marketplace for lift tickets, says buying early and booking multiple days also goes a long way in lowering the price of getting on the mountain.

“If customers buy in advance, they will be rewarded by doing so,’’ he said. “It’s very easy to understand. You wouldn’t wait until the last minute to buy an airline ticket.’’

Reece, who helped start Liftopia in 2005, also recommends that skiers and snowboarders — especially beginners — look locally when choosing from one of the more than 450 resorts across the country.

“To give skiing a try, you don’t need to book a weeklong vacation to Colorado from New York. There are a lot of local ski areas where you can learn,’’ he said. “People will be surprised to find what is in their backyard. Sometimes the trendy spots, they’re awesome for a great reason. But there are some areas that will surprise you.’’

And while large resorts like Vail, Breckenridge and Keystone offer varied terrain and more amenities, smaller resorts can provide their own charm, shorter lift lines, less crowded slopes and cheaper lift tickets.

CJ Hartland, sales manager for Monarch Mountain in southwest Colorado, says the resort’s owners have kept lift ticket prices down by offering group rates and free skiing to kids age 6 and under and to seniors 69 and over.

The owners “want people to learn and fall in love with the sport and not have to be wealthy to do it,’’ she said. Walk-up tickets at the 800-acre resort, which has 53 liftserved trails, are $69; advance tickets run $57.

At larger resorts, keeping skiing affordable has come down to an intense battle over season pass prices.

Until 2009, an unrestricted pass to Vail Resorts at Vail Mountain, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Keystone cost $1,900.

Now with Vail’s Epic Pass, skiers and snowboarders have access to those four mountains, plus 18 more resorts for $769.

“People rushed out to buy it because they thought we had made a mistake,’’ said Vail spokesman Russ Pecoraro. The pass could pay for itself in a week, depending on where and when you go.

The debate over pricing will likely continue, but industry leaders contend that a day of skiing and snowboarding is, well, priceless.

“There’s really no better value for a family,’’ said Pecoraro. “To get your family out there. To participate together. It’s the value you get from the experience and it’s not always about the price.’’

Associated Press

There were the 10 wins and an appearance in the Top 25. Oh, and that $7 million, too.

Hard to say Colorado State lost even though the coach who orchestrated the dramatic turnaround is bailing on the Rams after three years to take over at Florida.

Jim McElwain may have used the Rams as a stepping stone to a more high-profile coaching gig with the Gators, but he left the team in great shape — and with a financial windfall.

As part of the buyout agreement, the Rams will receive $7 million, including $5 million in cash and $2 million to play a football game in Gainesville, Fla., down the road. McElwain’s buyout clause was for $7.5 million.

Offensive coordinator Dave Baldwin will step in as interim coach for the team’s upcoming bowl game as the school begins a national search.

“CSU athletics has benefited from the three-year association with Jim McElwain,” President Tony Frank said in a statement.

An emotional McElwain met with his team one final time Dec. 4 in the auditorium where he’s gone over many a game plan. There was a roar from inside the room.

During his time in Fort Collins, McElwain restored the luster to a program that had gone 3-9 in three straight seasons before his arrival. The Rams won 10 regular-season games this season for just the fourth time in school history.

“He couldn’t turn down this job,’’ senior offensive lineman Mason Myers said. “We know. We seniors know how it works.”

And now it’s back to the business of football. There’s an undetermined bowl game to prepare for under Baldwin, who called the plays for a high-powered offense that averaged 36 points a game this season behind senior quarterback Garrett Grayson.

Baldwin may receive strong consideration for the position should the Rams prefer continuity. He came on board with McElwain and has head coaching experience, with San Jose State from 1997 to 2000.

There are plenty of big-name candidates out there, too, like recently fired Michigan coach Brady Hoke, who knows the Mountain West, given his past ties with San Diego State.

Here’s an intriguing possibility:

Once again courting an Alabama offensive coordinator. This time, Lane Kiffin, the former USC coach who has roots with the Rams. He served as the team’s offensive line assistant coach in 1999.

Hiring an Alabama coach certainly worked out well the first time, when McElwain was lured to Fort Collins from Tuscaloosa, Ala. He served as offensive coordinator for Nick Saban and helped the Tide capture two national titles.

When he was hired, McElwain was billed as an offensive mastermind who could lift the Rams from their doldrums, even if it was his first headcoaching position. The team went 4-8 in his first season and then 8-6 in 2013, which included a win over Washington State in the New Mexico Bowl.

This season, the Rams (10-2) flourished as Grayson took another step in his development under McElwain.

Grayson had quite a few explosive weapons, including running back Dee Hart, a graduate transfer from Alabama, and sophomore receiver Rashard Higgins, who leads the nation in yards receiving (1,640) and TDs (17).

“The sky is the limit (for the offense),” Grayson recently said. “We are a very talented group.”

McElwain turned the town into big football backers again, with the parking lot at Hughes Stadium usually filled on Saturdays, much like it was when Sonny Lubick was in charge.

The success also helped push forward the agenda for a new stadium, with Frank even recommending last week that the school build a new sports stadium on campus instead of renovating the existing football arena.

Former Colorado State tailback Kapri Bibbs was sorry to see McElwain go.

“I think Colorado State probably just lost one of the great coaches to coach this game,” said Bibbs, who’s now with the Denver Broncos. “This new coach, if he can try to implement what Coach Mac had in place, I think they’ll have another successful season.”

Colorado State put a positive spin on losing a coach who has turned around a downtrodden program, saying in a news release that it was receiving the largest-ever buyout. The school said the amount it recouped had eclipsed the $4.3 million that Texas paid to Louisville to hire away coach Charlie Strong.

There’s no timetable to find McElwain’s replacement. But there’s plenty of interest.

“I would say I have been contacted by 40 to 50 candidates. Impressive ones. It is staggering,’’ Interim Athletic Director John Morris said.

Each year, more than three billion Christmas cards are sent in the United States alone.

Before turkey, the traditional Christmas meal served in England was a pig’s head and mustard.

Many people may be less inclined to stand under mistletoe waiting for a kiss if they knew what “mistletoe” means in the ancient Germanic

language. It literally means “dung on a twig,” for the bird who eats the berries and then leaves seeds in droppings to propagate new plants.

Christmas tidbits

to put you in the holiday spirit The holiday season has arrived, and millions of people across the globe will be celebrating Christmas with their families and friends. The following are some interesting tidbits to share with your loved ones this holiday season.

In 350 AD, Pope Julius I, bishop of Rome, proclaimed December 25 the official celebration date for the birth of Jesus Christ.

Many historians and theologians have surmised that Christ really wasn’t born this time of year, thanks to imagery and information from the Bible.

Christmas carols began as an English custom called “wassailing.”

Individuals toasted neighbors to a long and healthy life.

Santa has his own official postal code.

It’s H0 H0 H0.

Despite the common tale that three wise men paid homage to baby Jesus,the Bible never specifically calls out a number.

Santa Clausʻ modern look was inspired by writings from The Knickerbockers of New York and imagery from Clement Clarke Mooreʻs “A Visit from St. Nicholas.”

Similarly, there’s no specific indication that they visited the infant Jesus. Their visit may have occurred when Jesus was older.

Moore denied authoring the famous poem for 15 years after it was published anonymously, feeling the poem was beneath his talents.

The song “Jingle Bells” was originally written for Thanksgiving.

People loved it so much that the lyrics were changed to fit Christmas.

Christmas trees typically grow for 15 years before they’re cut and sold. This means the trees sold today were likely planted in 1999.

Each holiday season, PNC Wealth Management calculates the costs of the gifts in the song, “The 12 Days of Christmas.”

The price index for the gifts went from $12,673 in 1984 to more than $24,000 in 2011. The most expensive gift is the swimming swans.

Carpentry LAKEWOOD - Holy guacamole, Holy Family is the king of the jungle.

The Jungle Jam, that is, one of most anticipated annual pre-regular season tournaments which Holy Family won, beating host D’Evelyn 57-42 Saturday night at D’Evelyn High School.

The Tigers proved to be tougher than the Jaguars as Holy Family got 14 points apiece from junior Katie Chavez and senior Maggie Spitzer.

But it was Chavez who proved to be the difference making player and tournament MVP, adding 11 assists, six steals and four rebounds in the championship game.

It wasn’t just Holy Family’s offense that won them the tournament. It was its second half defense that was the difference, completely shutting D’Evelyn out in the fourth quarter, allowing zero points.

Both teams were playing toe-to-toe as the Tigers led just 37-35 at halftime. Holy Family then turned up the defensive intensity and allowed just seven total second half points — to a team that has been one of the state’s top scoring teams over the past few seasons.

On the way to the title game Holy Family beat Thompson Valley 52-35 on Thursday after beating Sand Creek 58-51 Wednesday at D’Evelyn High School.

And as impressive as the Tigers’ victory over D’Evelyn was their win over Sand Creek — who was ranked No. 3 in 4A to begin the season.

Despite losing in the championship game the Jaguars still fared well at their tournament. D’Evelyn beat Cherokee Trail 65-40 Thursday, one night after opening the tournament with a 73-49 win over Fort Morgan on Wednesday.

“We are excited to host one of the premier preseason girls’ basketball tournaments in the state of Colorado.

All of the teams are among the best in their leagues and the games present some of the toughest competition for the early season,” D’Evelyn coach Chris Olson said.

D’Evelyn (4-3) has struggled out of the gate this season but they have also played a brutal nonleague schedule. The Jaguars will return from holiday play Dec. 5 when they host Mullen at 7 p.m.

Holy Family (4-2) will play Fredrick, Friday at 6:30 p.m.

Two arrested for triple homicide Suspects caught after high speed chase, gunfire

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com An Adams County Sheriff’s deputy was shot while taking a homicide suspect into custody on Dec. 12, capping a week of violence that included the loss of three lives.

The officer, a detective who survived the shooting, was arresting Furmen Lee Leyba in north Denver when he was greeted with gunfire. The deputy, whom the sheriff’s office is not identifying, was transported to an area hospital for the treatment of non-life threatening injuries and later released, according to the sheriff’s office.

Sgt. Aaron Pataluna, a sheriff’s office spokesman, said the Denver Police Department is handling the case involving the wounded deputy.

“As far as I know it is still an active investigation,” Pataluna said. “We will not know who shot our detective or if the charges will be filed in connection with the shooting until Denver PD completes their investigation.”

Leyba, 30, was taken into custody at the scene.

Law enforcement officers had previously arrested Gabriel Lee Flores, 41, in connection with the Dec. 10 deaths of three men, whom authorities found shot inside a house on Cragmore Street, located in an unincorporated area of Adams County.

The two suspects were formally charged with felony murder on Tuesday.

Authorities arrived at the residence shortly receiving a phone call about the incident, at 7:20 a.m.

Later in the day, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office spotted a black Jeep Wrangler that matched the description of a “be on the lookout” message that had been sent by Adams County authorities.

The driver, allegedly Flores, led authorities on a high-speed chase that began in Golden and ended off C-470, near Morrison.

Both suspects are being held in jail without bond.

Pataluna said no other suspects are being sought at this time.

“Any time you have multiple people lose their lives, it’s an unfortunate event,” Pataluna said. “We never want to see anyone get hurt, especially in the line of duty.”

Review: ‘Exodus’ plagued by casting, script issues

By Jake Coyle

Associated Press To what do we owe the second coming of the biblical epic?

A genre that was once as moldy as stale communion wafers has been reborn this year, first with Darren Aronofsky’s “Noah’’ and now with Ridley Scott’s “Exodus: Gods & Kings.” The resurrection is partly to capitalize on the faith-based moviegoing audience and partly because the Bible offers stories suited to this blockbuster era, offering both spectacle and name-brand familiarity.

More than 50 years after “The Ten Commandments,” sandals are back in style. We can only hope the trend will culminate in a seemingly ordained bit of casting: Someone has got to make a Jesus film with Jared Leto.

But big-tent Old Testament tales are no easy sell in times marked by both religious discord and secular disbelief. “Noah” was interesting because it saw the arc-builder

as hero of environmentalism, a protector of both morality and animals.

The 3-D “Exodus” also refashions Moses (Christian Bale) for modern times, giving us an elite, action-film combatant who’s less a conduit for God than a strong-minded individual whose beliefs mostly jibe with the deity who secretly appears to him. (God is seen here as an impatient child, played by the 11-year-old Isaac Andrews.)

“Exodus” begins promisingly, with a bald John Turturro in makeup. As the Egyptian pharaoh Seti, the father of Ramses (Joel Edgerton) and king to Moses’ prince, Turturro (and the brilliant Ben Mendelsohn’s louche viceroy) gives the film a touch of camp, a necessary ingredient to any successful biblical epic. Scott ought to have kept it up.

However, the director of “Gladiator” and “Blade Runner” isn’t known for his lightness of touch, but rather a monochrome masculinity. His “Exodus” is action-heavy and

more interested in the sheer computer-generated scale of the airy Egyptian palaces, the grotesque visitation of plagues (from the bloody Nile to the locust swarms) and the mass movements of the Hebrews.

Yet after Seti’s death and Ramses’ ascendance to the throne, “Exodus” seems to lessen in scope, turning into a mano-a-mano drama between the stepbrothers Ramses and Moses, who’s exiled after the discovery of his Hebrew birth.

For an epic, there are, at best, only two clearly seen characters in “Exodus,” with supporting players like Ben Kingsley (as a Hebrew elder), Sigourney Weaver (as Seti’s wife) and Aaron Paul (as a Hebrew slave) all but inconsequential. Let our people go?

The leads, you may have noticed, are uniformly white, which has spawned a good deal of deserved controversy not abetted by Scott’s defense that his stars were necessary for financing. The skin color of the ancient Egyptians, it should be noted, isn’t known

certainly, and historical accuracy is never much a consideration to biblical epics. But that “Exodus” chose to ignore this issue of representation — which has a long dubious history in Hollywood — speaks to the film’s general lack of curiosity. It’s after spectacle, not questions.

“Exodus’’ — written by the team of Adam Cooper, Bill Collage, Jeffrey Caine and Steven Zaillian — does indeed supply the big scenes. Slowly accepting his destiny and his Hebrew heritage, a bearded Moses rallies the Israelites and leads them to the climactic moment at the Red Sea (which isn’t as sumptuously rendered as you’d expect).

Throughout, Edgerton’s Ramses (who in the film’s best image, wraps a python around himself) is generally befuddled by the happenings. Bale’s Moses is a reluctant, weary prophet. He may be the only actor who would barely bat an eye in scenes with the Almighty. Burning bushes don’t impress this Batman.
