District 50 plans two questions on November ballot

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Adams County School District 50 is going for a second try on a mill levy override for the November election, and also adding on a bond question.

During the June 23 meeting, the board unanimously approved a signal of intent to the community to move forward with both questions, after staff recommendation. Final language and the increase amount will not be finalized until the fall.

The decision comes after budget short-

falls and unknown state funding for future school years. The board recently approved a $3.8 million cut to the 2014-2015 budget, which comes in the form of the elimination of 63 positions and an increase in pupilteacher ratios of 1.5 students. The cut is a result of a $5.25 million mill levy override failure last November, which would have replenished reserve funds used to balance last year’s budget.

“We will have to continue to make budget cuts, which will have a direct impact on the education of our students,” said chief operations officer James Duffy. “We already had to make over $3.5 million in cuts for the

upcoming school year, so administration is recommending the board to signal its intent to place a bond and mill levy override on the November election.”

Last November, around 60 percent of voters voted against a mill levy override.

If it had been approved, district residents would have seen an increase of $6.63 per month and $86 per year based on a home valued at $100,000. Although the measure wasn’t passed, it was backed by two major entities: the city of Westminster and the Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District.

Board member Dino Valente is prepared to work closely with the community

to get both the bond and mill levy override passed. During the meeting he admitted the district asked for too much money, but also said pointed out the community was also faced with state measures including Amendment 66, which also failed to pass.

“Amendment 66 was an absolute disaster, one of the worst items placed on a ballot on education in state history,” he said.

“That certainly didn’t help us. The choices we need to make for our district are different than those in neighboring districts. It’s time District 50 takes care of District 50.”

Council OKs temple, shrine construction Project to be done in four phases

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com After a devastating fire destroyed their former temple, members of the Lao Buddhist community in Westminster can begin construction on a new temple, one bigger and more beautiful than before.

The journey to rebuild

POSTAL ADDRESS

begins after the unanimous approval by city council of the Lao Buddhist Temple Preliminary Development Plan and the Official Development Plan during the June 23 council meeting.

Approval of both is needed before construction can commence.

The approved ODP allows for two buildings, a temple and a shrine building, both located at 10685 Dover St. The 4.22-acre site will also have improvements to landscaping, parking and right-of-way access and will also feature public art. The smaller shrine building will be used by the monks and the larger temple building will have the capacity to house 300-500 people.

Lead designer on the project Emmy Thammasine said the temple will have a three-tiered roof with a traditional Southeast Asian curve.

He said because the

building will be highly visible to the community, the project team is dedicated to creating a beautiful temple, one that will reflect the beauty of their Lao Buddhist culture. The project team is also excited to remain in the Westminster community.

“We decided the temple would stay in the city of Westminster and the reason is simple, why go anywhere else,” Thammasine said.

“It’s a beautiful piece of land with mountain views. And best of all we’ve had a relationship with Westminster for 30 years and we want to keep it alive by rebuilding here.”

Members of city council are also pleased the temple is remaining in Westminster. Councilors Alberto Garcia, Emma Pinter, Faith Winter, Anita Seitz and Bob Briggs, and Mayor Herb Atchison all made comments during the meeting about their excitement surrounding the construction

The Lao Buddhist community in Westminster will soon be starting the re-build of the temple that burned down in 2011. Currently the property still features artwork like the piece in the photo and gatherings have been taking place in large outdoor tents. Photo by Ashley Reimers of the new temple. Winter thanked the Lao community for choosing Westminster and said she is proud to support their effort to rebuild. Pinter made a similar comment.

“I feel we are honored to have you in our community,” Pinter said. “The qualities you represent are the very things we are trying to encourage in our city, so thank you very much.”

Construction is set to begin as soon as possible on the temple and shrine building and will be done in four phases. For more information on the project, visit http://watlaodenver.net.

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com It’s not the typical baseball game, but it’s sure a lot of fun. Based on the rules of the 1870s, the Westminster Lightning Bolts will take on the Central City Stars during the annual vintage baseball game on July 5 at Wolff Run Park in Westminster. All players will also sport 1870s uniforms while attempting to play the game minus gloves, using hand-sewn balls.

“This game is truly what a game would have been like back in the 1870s. Players don’t use baseball gloves and they sure don’t argue with the umpire,” said former Westminster mayor Nancy McNally. “And if a player wants his run to count, he must ring a bell by the score board.”

For several years, the Westminster Historical Society has presented the vintage baseball game. The event also includes a historical address and homemade ice cream. McNally said a local Boy Scout troop will also be selling hot dogs and brats, at a very reasonable price.

And just as the game gets going, so does the protesting.

“To go along with the histori-

From left, Illa Mae Immroth and Bobbie Lowe protest for women’s right to vote during a past vintage baseball game in Westminster to go along with the historical theme of the annual event. This year’s game is at 10 a.m. on July 5 at Wolff Run Park. Both teams will be playing by 1870s rules wearing 1870s style uniforms. Courtesy photo cal theme, there is always a group of women who show up protesting about the right for women to vote,” McNally said. “They bring signs and really make themselves known. The men don’t usually enjoy that part too much.”

Westminster Historical Society secretary Elaine Egan said the game is really an effort to bring the com-

munity together, just like in the past.

She said back in the day, people didn’t have televisions or radios to keep them entertained, they had each other.

“People from two different towns used to meet together in the middle of their towns and play a baseball game,” she said. “Baseball brought people together, and that’s what

we’re trying to do. Plus children can also get a real-life history lesson.”

The historical address begins at 9:30 a.m. followed by the start of the game at 10 a.m. The game is free and people can also bring along chairs, blankets and picnics. For more information, visit www.westminsterhistory.qwestoffice.net

2 Westminster Window

July 3, 2014

Dedicated gardeners grow together As Carol Ford makes her coffee in the quiet of early morning, she never fails to take in the view out her kitchen window — of a metal, neighborhood mailbox framed, these days, by draping trumpet vines and blooming roses along a weathered wood fence.

“I love to look at the flowers when I look at the mailbox,” she says. “It inspires me. … And Larry’s always out there, looking and pulling out the weeds.”

Larry Davis, 77, is always out there, snipping spent branches and blooms with his pocketknife and clearing away offending trespassers. So, too — but later in the day (Larry is the early riser) — is his wife, Deanna, 73, sitting on her stool, digging in the dirt, minding the beds with motherly care.

Come spring, just like the crocuses bursting through the ground after a season of hibernation, Larry and Deanna emerge to tend to their garden, a visual delight that has, over the years, persuaded some driving by to stop and roll down their windows to express appreciation.

“Oh,” Larry tells them, “if you like the front, you must see the back.”

And you must.

But before you step under the trellis that Larry built and past the small stone frog that says, “Welcome to our garden,” you should remember once there was nothing on this corner plot of land in the middle of tracthome suburbia.

“It just evolved. We just kept adding …,” Deanna says. “I don’t think either of us could do it alone.” She smiles. “We’re getting to the point we’re not going to be able to do it together.”

Larry and Deanna moved into their Highlands Ranch home in 1994. Their first planting: three locust trees.

“We wanted shade,” Deanna says.

Larry built the six-foot fence around the yard, a few times parking his car in the street at night and turning on the headlights so he could finish.

They both worked at the time, she as a Realtor, he as a tool design engineer for Lockheed Martin, so they hired someone to plan the yard. And in 1995, the basic layout was planted.

They married, each for the second time, in 1996, in their back yard, with 100 guests.

The pond for the goldfish and water lilies happened in 1999, the year they retired. Larry later built the spacious, graceful deck next to the pond and the oval bed in the front.

And, slowly but surely, the garden kept growing, reflecting not only the shared passion of creating something beautiful, but also their individual personalities. She likes neat and orderly. He likes unusual and a little messy.

Deanna, originally from the San Francisco area, brought the Japanese maples, dwarf evergreens and Asian-inspired contributions.

“All the Japanese stuff,” she says, “is kind of my heart.”

Larry, from Iowa, brought the strange, unique plants like the rare-for-America hocksweed, and the full-bodied peonies, which in the Midwest are frequently planted in cemeteries. “They bloom around Memorial Day,” he says. “A lot of people plant peonies so there are flowers on the graves.”

Today, the gardens contain hundreds of varieties of plants. Deanna and Larry each spend about 20 hours a week caring for them.

Now, step under the trellis. This is some of what you’ll see: Raspberries, blackberries and grapes

tumble along the back. Succulents root in lava rocks by the pond, inhabited by about 50 goldfish and several kinds of delicate water lilies. A weeping cherry droops over a small path. Red and green Japanese maples. Graceful purple clematis. Pink penstemons. Purple salvia. Delicate coral bells.

A congregation of herbs — basil, fennel, parsley, rosemary, oregano, mint — grows in containers near the kitchen window. A water fountain that was a wedding gift. A bird bath that belonged to Deanna’s mother. A twisted Harry Lauder’s walking stick bush.

Roses.

“This one is like peppermint candy,” Larry says, cupping a red-and-white-striped bloom in his hand.

The iron bench under the crabapple, where the yard bends, is one of Deanna’s and Larry’s favorite spots. The corner always seems to collect a breeze, and it’s good for enjoying the sights.

“It’s kind of a peaceful oasis,” Larry says of the back yard. “The birds like it.” He points up to a branch in a locust tree. “That little blue house has a family of wrens in it.”

The front, too, has its charm.

Blue delphiniums — a neighborhood favorite — stand guard near the trellis. A rock garden holds origanum — nicknamed the wormy plant by Larry — and yellow Missouri evening primrose, whose blooms last just one day, trail along its border. Snapdragons in every color reseed every year.

There’s the fuzzy lamb’s ear the preschool children used to file down the street to feel.

Larry’s new, small cactus garden next to the stairs. Deanna’s nine pots of coleus — with striking green and red leaves — on the stoop.

And the ornamental pear tree by the driveway that blooms white, leafs out green, and, finally, turns a yellow-orange in the fall until the first storm strips the limbs bare.

“One year, for fun, we planted … the plant you like to eat?” Larry turns to Deanna.

“Artichoke.”

Larry nods and smiles. “People would say, `What in the world is that?’”

“People still ask us about that one,” Deanna says.

“We just did it for fun,” Larry says. “Just once.”

The garden, essentially, contains many of life’s basic ingredients. Change. Transformation. Anticipation. Joy. Death. Rebirth. This particular one is a work of love that seems to assure a certain order in the universe.

“When you’re finished growing your kids,” Deanna says, “there is a nurturing quality to growing plants.”

“I enjoy just seeing it every day,” Larry says. “It seems like something new is in bloom every day … when the first little crocus comes up, just to see this come to life in the spring, and then all summer blooming.”

And even though the garden belongs to Larry and Deanna, it has been a gift shared — sometimes unknowingly, other times directly — with the neighborhood.

Suzi Miller, a gardener herself who lives down the street, has taken home cuttings of water lilies and fennel for her yard. She can spend hours talking plants with Larry and Deanna.

“For someone like me, there’s so much to look at,” she says. “It gives me inspiration. …”

Joan McGill has lived across the street for 18 years.

“It’s just a joy to look at their beautiful garden,” she says. “If we could all slow down enough to enjoy the beauty.”

We should.

Because if we did, Larry and Deanna would be sure to invite us in.

Former D50 schools to be torn down

By Ashley Reimers

areimers @coloradocommunitymedia.com Two buildings no longer used as schools will be demolished in Adams County School District 50.

During the school board’s June 23 meeting, members voted unanimously to approve two contracts for the asbestos abatement and demolition of Baker Elementary School and Clear Lake Middle School.

Both in Denver, Baker at 3555 W. 64th Ave., and Clear Lake at 1940 Elmwood Lane, the buildings haven’t been used for many years and are no longer registered with the state of Colorado as public schools. James Duffy, chief operations officer for the district, said the buildings are deteriorating quickly and are a liability rather than an asset to the district.

“Both buildings have sustained substantial damage from thefts resulting in the loss of copper piping,” he said. “There’s also been water damage and we no longer allow our personnel in the building for more than half-a-hour without a respirator.”

Removing the buildings will happen in two phases, asbestos abatement followed

by demolition. The board approved a $1.387 million contact with Complete Abatement Services for abatement services on both buildings. A $355,410 contract was also approved for the demo of both buildings.

Board member Dino Valente commented on the importance of the project and said although it wasn’t easy to coming to the decision to tear down the buildings, it was a significant one.

“The manner in which these buildings have been directed to close several years ago has caused them to fall into the state of decay they are in,” he said. “This is the right thing to do for those two neighborhoods within in our community who have looked at those eye sores long enough. I’m very happy to see this being done.”

Asbestos abatement is projected to begin in a few weeks at Clear Lake Middle School followed by the start of the process at Baker Elementary by late July. The abatement process can take up 13 weeks. The district will be placing signage in both areas and will be notifying neighbors in writing about the project. Once the buildings are down, the district will seed with ground cover.

Baker Elementary School in District 50 is scheduled for asbestos abatement in late July followed by demolition. The building hasn’t been used as a school for several years and is the victim of substantial damage and copper piping theft.

Longtime Federal Heights employee retires

By Ashley Reimers

areimers @coloradocommunitymedia.com After 40 dedicated years at the city of Federal Heights, Virginia Mullins is leaving her post in the utilities department and starting her next life chapter in retirement.

She spent many years watching the city grow and expand while meeting people she now considers family.

“I’ll really miss the people I worked with,” she said. “They are like family. You spend most of your day with them and you grow a strong bond.”

Mullins began her career in the Federal Heights Sanitation District in 1974 before moving over to the city a year later after the sanitation district was absorbed by the city.

Since then, she’s been responsible for send-

ing out utility bills to all Federal Heights residents. She rarely missed a day of work, except in 2010 when she was out for five months due to open-heart surgery.

“During that time I would walk to city hall from my house and pick up my check,” she said. “I had accumulated that much sick time because I never missed work. Unless I was contagious, I was working. Things had to get done. I was dedicated and cared about my job and the city.”

Mullins’ commitment to her job was even more important after she lost her husband 18 years ago. Although it was a tough time, Mullins said going to work is what got her out of bed each day.

“When my husband passed away, my job gave me something to do,” she said. “I had a goal every day to get up and get out of the house.”

Over the years, Mullins also made traveling a priority. She’s been to every state in the United States except for North Dakota, and has traveled overseas to France, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

She’s been to Italy twice and one trip in particular stands out over all the others.

“When I went to Italy I had the dream of a lifetime and got to see the Pope attend Mass,” she said. “There were thousands of people there. I was with a tour group and the Vatican was one of the places we went.”

Mullins plans to take more trips locally during her retirement with friends. She’s looking forward to sleeping in when she wants and exercising to stay healthy.

Mullins’ official last was July 2 and was celebrated with a retirement party at the fire station.

Real estate broker services The board unanimously approved a brokerage services agreement with Guidance Corporate Realty Advisors June 26.

The county has previously contracted with Norman DeHart of this company for real estate broker services for some of the lease and real property transactions for various county projects. This contract has expired and the county would like to retain DeHart on a commission basis for the current and future lease and real property transactions, including acquisition of the property at 1200 W. 120th Ave. Any future transactions will be brought back to the board for review.

Miscellaneous concrete program The board unanimously approved an agreement with H & A Concrete Sawing LLC for the 2014 Miscellaneous Concrete Program for $324,247. This program is an annual maintenance program aimed

Denver theater company moves to playhouse Renovations improve accessibilty

By Ashley Reimers areimers @coloradocommunitymedia.com Longtime theater company Germinal Stage is now producing and performing shows at the 73rd Avenue Playhouse in Westminster.

The company was founded in 1974 and performed out of a storefront in the Sunnyside neighborhood in north Denver beginning in 1987 before making south Westminster its summer home.

Ed Baierlein, with Germinal Stage, said he contacted the city more than a year ago about interest in the 73rd Avenue Playhouse. He said the size of the building and the location were both appealing. After learning the building was available during the summer, Baierlein and other company members got to work on renovations to the playhouse improving the dressing rooms, making the building handicapped accessible and upgrading the lighting.

“The building now is much more comfortable and it functions a lot better,” he said. “I’m very pleased with what we were able to do.”

Germinal Stage will be leasing the playhouse until the fall. During the summer, the company is presenting two productions. The first is called The Shaw Trio, three one-act

Council also authorized the city manager to execute a change order in the amount of $82,598 to an existing contract with Martin/Martin for design engineering services related to the North Plaza Retaining Wall with a project contingency of $90,000 for both the construction and construction engineering contracts.

Contract approved for parking structure Council unanimously awarded the bid and authorized the city manager to execute a contract with The Beck Group in the amount of $1,376,004 for the construction of the Westminster Station Parking Structure. The proposed design/ build contract will allow staff to begin the process of designing the parking structure that will be used by RTD riders as well as residents and customers of the Transit Oriented Development residences and businesses that will eventually surround the station site.

The next council meeting is at 7 p.m. on July 14 at City Hall, 4800 W. 92nd Ave. in Westminster.

tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com For the first time in more than two decades, Adams County has increased fees for permits and associated work for its planning and development, neighborhood and transportation departments.

The Adams County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved the rate increases — and in some cases, establishing a fee for services — during their regular June 24 meeting.

“It’s important to note that these fees have not been revised since 1994, which is roughly about 21 years,” said Deputy County Manager Ray Gonzales. “In many cases, Adams County charges significantly less than any other counties and cities in the metro area for these services.”

He added that no fees had been charged for a number of these services. The rate increases went into effect July 1.

The county is using a phased approach to implement any fees that will be increased by more than five times.

The second increase for these services will be Jan. 1, 2015.

District 3 Commissioner Erik Hansen said it was reasonable to charge for these services and that increasing the fees will not scare off business.

“It’s unfortunate that it creates a little bit of a sticker shock, so I appreciate what you’re doing in terms of phasing it in for certain people, but you know at the end of the day we’re talking about specific fees for specific purpose — building permit fees, storm water inspection fees — in some cases we weren’t charging for fees for anything whatsoever when everybody in the metro area was charging these fees,” he said.

Some of the services that were not being charged before, but now have a fee, include commercial building permits ($65 at first, then another increase Jan. 1 to $130), residential building permits ($45), memorial sign program ($100) and storm water permits ($200).

Increased fees include conditional use permits, which have doubled to $1,000; sign permits from $75 previously to $200; and special use permits from $100 to $500-$700.

“Based on the current average permit volumes, the new permit fees are estimated to generate an additional $415,000 annually,” Gonzales said.

Staff will start doing annual reviews of these fees to keep up with neighboring municipalities.

“A lot of people when I’m out campaigning always say they want government to run like a business and that you need some kind of business sense to be able to run the budget,” said District 1 Commissioner Eva Henry. “I don’t know of any business that hasn’t raised their prices or fees in 21 years.”

The permit fees only apply to projects in unincorporated Adams County.

Baierlein hopes the longtime fans of the Germinal Stage will embrace the new venue location in Westminster. He said some have had a perception that the company moved all the way to Wyoming, but in reality, the move was a short one. He’s also excited about the opportunity to entertain a new audience in the Westminster area.

“I love that the playhouse is in a neighborhood because we had been in a neighborhood before,” he said. “The building has so many possibilities and the location is easily accessible from downtown Denver and Boulder.

We’re excited to be here.”

Not a wise choice by oil/gas interests Apparently, most of the big boys of the oil and gas industries in Colorado are willing to gamble and the stakes are unnecessarily high. The latest word on proposed legislation, which has been parlayed by Governor Hickenlooper, has less than 50 percent of the oil and gas “players” being supportive of a compromise on regulations and setbacks for fracking operations.

The compromise legislation would “soften” the degree of additional regulations, including setbacks from residential properties, which are contained in proposed citizen-initiated ballot actions. By saying they will not support the compromise package, it leaves the governor and the supporters of a “middle ground” position little chance to call a special legislative session this summer. The compromise was an attempt to avoid a nasty political campaign over any of the citizen-initiated fracking restriction propositions that make the November election ballot.

Winner-take-all attitude

In essence, the oil and gas interests, who have said they would not support a “middle ground” approach, are taking a “winner-take-all” attitude. That could prove risky for them. If the package or a part of the 10 ballot propositions make it to the election and are approved by Colorado voters, fracking operations will become much more costly with some Draconian regulations. Plus, I would say that some of the propositions are “over the top”

rights to our state Constitution. It would be similar to the amendment added to the State of Pennsylvania Constitution.

Initiative 75 is too extreme

and “overkill,” but nevertheless would be embedded in our state Constitution.

Polis backs initiatives

Let’s look at a sample of the citizeninitiated ballot proposals, which by the way, are being backed by U.S. Congressman Jared Polis with the exception of Initiative 75. The gist of the nine initiatives would provide residential properties greater setbacks from drilling operations and give more control/regulation to local governments. Four of the proposals would increase the distance for drilling operations from homes by distances between 1,500 feet to a half-mile. To picture these distances better, the former would be five football fields long and the latter would be just under nine football fields. Currently, the state requirement is a 500-foot setback (1.67 football fields). Next, there are four proposals which would give more control to local governments over oil and gas development. Another proposed ballot issue would add an environmental bill of

Finally, there is Initiative 75, which I have previously written about. It is extreme in its provisions, which would give local governments broad control and power to ban any industrial activities. This one goes way beyond fracking issues and could have huge negative impacts on the image of Colorado not being interested in business development.

heated campaign coming

It is a darn shame that a majority of the oil and gas companies who are involved in this issue are unwilling to join Noble Energy Inc. and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation in the compromise option and attempt to avoid an expensive “bloodbath” on the campaign battleground. There are reasonable requirements in the compromise package. On the other hand, it would be unproductive to end up with a halfmile setback requirement if it were to pass.

That is not good public policy; however, it looks like the battle lines are drawn, so get ready for a huge ad campaign by both sides. We all will be tired of the rhetoric by both local and out-of-state interests early on.

Calling a halt to Facebook fatigue I’m declaring a moratorium on Facebook.

My time spent on Facebook is as exhausting as it is exhilarating, perhaps even more so, with liking, sharing, commenting, and posting that can take hours a day.

I’m not kidding. And I never imagined this would be me.

I came to this realization after two things happened recently.

One was that I actually took a photo of an artfully arranged plate of sushi and sashimi … with the intent of posting it. At the time, I even qualified it by saying: “I don’t usually post photos of food.” Hmmm …

The other was that I found myself vaguebooking … you know, when someone posts an enigmatic statement such as: “Feeling sad today.” When I come across these statements from my friends, I am tempted to ask, “Why? Why are you sad today?” But I usually don’t. I figure that if I were supposed to know, I already would.

So when I posted last week, “Yes … I’m stalling,” I was doing the same thing: vaguebooking an incident about which only a few people knew, and even fewer cared.

Please don’t misunderstand me – posting fabulous food (or cat or sunrise or charming children) photos and making enigmatic statements are what makes social media, well, social. It’s the competitive aspect of Facebook that’s wearing me out.

For example, I recently attended a writers conference that included casual lawn parties, intense class sessions, and appear-

ances by renowned authors. The professional photographer captured the activities, as well as many of the participants … with their mobile phones.

I could be sitting in the audience at a reading or chatting with a fellow writer, and before I even reached home that evening, photos were already uploaded to several Facebook pages. Then the race was on … who would be the first to “like” a post or photo, and, more importantly, how many likes and shares would it amass?

To assure that I was part of this massive Facebook-fest, I used the running feed down the side of my own page to see who was liking what. When I spotted someone from the conference (and there were many) liking or commenting on another attendee’s posts, I hurried to click on it myself, which then led me to like other posts that particular person was liking, and following those posts on to … well, you get what’s going on here.

Perhaps most revealing of all was that I

became slightly obsessed with counting the number of likes on my own posts or those in which others had tagged me. And then I felt obligated to reciprocate by liking, sharing, and commenting on the posts of others. It seemed endless.

That’s when my Facebook fatigue set in.

So I’ve decided to pull the Facebook plug. Of course, it’s not reasonable to cut out Facebook entirely … I’ll just check in once, twice, or perhaps a few times a day. I’ll only post pithy quotes, poetry, and the occasional comment or photo or link or status or activity or video or quiz. I’ll follow my news feed – briefly – just to see what’s going on with my friends, and their friends, and maybe their friends.

It won’t take that long.

Keep ‘happy’ on list of things to be The other day I happened to be at the Park Meadows mall. As I was just the hired help for the day, my role was really just to drive the car, carry the bags, and pay at checkout time. While in Macy’s I had a pretty cool experience and thought I would share it with you here.

So as I sat in a chair and waited in the ladies shoe department — yes, I said it, the ladies shoe department — the background music caught my attention. Not so much because of the volume, but it was a very catchy tune that brought me back to the 1970s. The Partridge Family’s “Come on Get Happy.” And yes, some would say I just may be stuck in the 1970s regarding my musical preferences.

It was awesome enough that I recognized it, but as I looked around I noticed that I was not the only one in the store tapping my toes and singing along quietly to the music. You may be doing the same right now, as you also know the song. There were actually others singing a little out loud, some women dancing a

little in their own space, a few other guys nodding their heads and tapping their toes to the beat, and I swear I thought that a “flash mob” was about to happen right there in Macy’s at any moment.

The song actually had a group of strangers in the store smiling, singing, and even dancing without one bit of encouragement other than the lyrics to the song. How amazing and awesome is that?

If you have listened to local radio recently, you have also probably heard the song “Happy” by Pharrel. And you

have probably heard it or have seen him perform it at an awards show or on television somewhere. I mean, it is like everywhere, and seems to be on the radio a lot. And why not? I have to admit that as much as I hear the song “Happy,” it actually makes me just a little bit happier than I was in the previous moment, maybe even tapping my toes and fingers a little bit to the tune as well whether I am working, walking, or driving.

So the question I have asked myself since my “Come on Get Happy” experience in Macy’s is this, “What else triggers happiness?”

Some of us, me included, can get so caught up in our busy-ness and our business that we completely forget about being happy, or at least let it slip through our fingers from time to time. Maybe it’s a song, maybe it’s a workout, maybe it’s a good book, a smile, a hug, an accomplishment, skiing, golfing, hiking, a friend, a child, a feeling of love, being loved, and being in love, and hundreds

of other possibilities that bring us back to that feeling of happiness and joy.

What are your triggers?

“Come on Get Happy,” “Happy,” “Shiny Happy People,” “Hakuna Matata,” “Don’t Worry Be Happy” and “Joy to the World” are just a few of the songs that work for me when it comes to adding a little more pep to my step when I hear them. How about you? Is it a song or something else that triggers happy thoughts and gets you back on the happy track of life?

I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we remember to balance our busy-ness with happiness it will be a better than good week for sure. So come on … get happy.

Ideas to shift early education Over the past two weeks, I’ve started to make the case that, for all the seriousness and drama with which our community seems to be tackling the issue of education reform, we’re really not talking about serious, important reforms. Allow me to propose a few radical ideas that might actually be worth all the drama.

First off, the young mind, is an amazing feat of computer engineering. The learning curve on a young brain is hundreds of degrees steeper than our most advanced computer circuits, and yet, we rarely try to accomplish anything with younger students commensurate with their innate potential.

Right now, we have a system that is designed for younger students very basic— with rare exceptions, kindergarteners rarely get “specials” (art, music, physical education: AMP) taught by a qualified specialist; from first through fifth or sixth grade, students only get each AMP the equivalent of every third day; recess and free play are increasingly getting squeezed out; instrumental music is not offered until fifth or sixth grade; foreign languages rarely show up before middle school. What a waste!

If we really wanted to build brains, instead of just churning out proficient testtakers, then we really need to look at the younger years differently.

• Young students (first-fourth years) should have music every day! The research is voluminous, but let me just highlight one study out of Beijing as reported in the South China Morning Post: “Early musical training ... changes the brain and these brain changes could lead to cognitive advances ...

(Yunxin) Wang found that musical training starting before age seven appeared to thicken areas of the brain involved in language skills and executive function.”

• Youngs should have art every day! In the same way that music rewires the brain, so do the visual arts. One study from Stanford, et al., draws a connection between concentrated time spent on making art and the ability to do mathematical computations.

Other studies have linked art and creativity,

and art and delayed gratification, which is one of the most important success-builder skills we can impart on students.

• Youngs should have physical education daily! Physical activity increases blood flow to the brain, which is good for cognition; it helps clear mental clutter and return the emotions to a state of equilibrium, which are good for academic development; and it’s critical to overall health, which contributes to physiological and academic growth.

• Youngs should be taught a foreign language from the moment they step into a school. The pre-adolescent proclivity for language acquisition is well-documented.

But, setting aside the utility of knowing a second language, learning a second language while getting command of the first (presumably, English) does nothing but strengthen the language centers of the brain, which has far-reaching benefits to students.

Do you notice anything about the first four ideas I’ve laid out? None of those subjects are tested currently, which means that none of them are really valued in our system of education. And yet the documentation of the benefits of all of these is incontrovertible.

So if we’re going to have knock-down, drag-out fights over education reform, then let’s start to talk about actual reforms.

Elder-abuse reporting law goes into effect

BIKE RODEO TIME

Financial institutions must notify about suspicions

By Amy Woodward awoodward @coloradocommuntiymedia.com Colorado’s first mandatory reporting bill for elder abuse took effect on July 1.

The new bill requires any person who witnesses or suspects elder abuse in adults 70 or older to make a report to a local law enforcement agency.

Until now, Colorado was one of three states that did not make it a requirement for persons to report elder abuse. Since 1991, similar bills regarding mandatory reporting for elder abuse in Colorado failed seven times before the measure passed in 2013.

The Senate bill, sponsored by former Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster, extends the definition of “any person” required to report abuse to include clergy and financial institutions.

“It’s only been voluntarily up to now, and especially in the financial industry it’s going to have an impact because they’ve never been mandatory reporters before,” Hudak said.

The Colorado Bankers Association, a trade group for 152 banks in the state, was part of the task force organized by Hudak to look at costs to implement the bill, which were estimated to be around $5 million.

“We have really always operated with our customers’ best interest in mind. This requirement is not off-putting or isn’t something we didn’t want to do,” said Jeff Asher, compliance officer for FirstBank.

“It’s a very positive bill for the industry.

Across the nation it is a fairly standard expectation.”

Other mandated reporters, such as clergy, already have experience in this area, due to the mandatory reporting bill for child abuse.

“Elder abuse is a huge, huge problem in our country,” said Scott Storey, senior

JEFFCO NEWS IN A HURRY Jeffco Commissioners add slash collection sites The Jefferson County Commissioners entered into a contract with the Rolling R Ranch Company, LLC, to add additional slash collection and processing sites for mountain residents. The added sites will be open in different locations between August and October of this year. The cost to the county will be approximately $4,400 per site. Information on the location and dates the sites will be open are yet to be determined but will be posted on the Jeffco website once they are identified.

Vendor space available for community safety fair The Jefferson County District Attorney’s office has vendor space available for their Annual Community Safety Fair on Saturday, Aug. 23. The event is 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, 15200 W. Sixth Ave. in Golden. Businesses that provide safety or well-being products that are interested in participating can contact Cary Johnson at 303-271-6970, csjohnso@jeffco.us for more info. Or the vendor application is available on the District Attorney’s website www.districtattorney1.com.

Notice to homeowners in foreclosure Jeffco Public Trustee Margaret T. Chapman stated that homeowners in foreclosure may have money waiting for them at the trustee’s office. If the home sold for more than the amount owed to the lender, the homeowner is due the excess proceeds. Homeowners in the process of foreclosure process or whose home is already foreclosed is encouraged to contact the Public Trustee’s Office at 303-271-8580.

chief at the First Judicial District Elder Abuse Unit in Jefferson County. “It is under-reported, under-investigated, underprosecuted.”

During a seminar at the Jeffco DA’s office on June 25, Storey reported that elder abuse has grown 150 percent in the last 10 years, with an estimated $2.9 billion in annual financial loss by victims of elder financial abuse.

“I suspect it’s more than that because this crime is under-reported,” Storey said.

The Jeffco DA’s office is the only DA’s office which has an elder abuse unit.

Since January of this year, law enforcement agencies have been receiving training throughout the state on how to recognize the signs of elder abuse. Through training, officers are being told to stop asking victims if they want to prosecute or if they want the suspect arrested.

Under the new bill, police shall notify a human-services agency and a district attorney’s office within 24 hours of receiving an abuse report. Officers do not need the victim to sign a complaint or sign a commitment to prosecute. Victims do not have to agree with any charges that may be filed against the person or persons who may have abused them financially or through neglect.

While reports to law enforcement cannot be made anonymously, the bill does have an immunity privilege attached for those who report possible abuse, in order to alleviate any fears of civil suits or liabilities for damage in civil action or criminal prosecutions.

Mandatory reporters, including the public, are urged to contact law enforcement if they suspect or witness elder abuse.

“You don’t have to be right,” Storey said. “It’s better to be safe than sorry.”

Although it is not the intention to focus efforts on those who fail to make a report, willfully failing to make a report could result in a class 3 misdemeanor, up to $750 in fines and up to six months in jail.

Governor lowers odds on fracking session Potential bill on local control seeks compromise

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com More doubt was cast recently on the possibility of a special legislative session on hydraulic fracturing, as Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 27 lowered expectations that lawmakers will meet over the summer to tackle this contentious issue.

Hickenlooper said in May that the odds were “50/50” that a special session would be held. However, on June 27, Hickenlooper told reporters that he thinks those odds are now “less than 50/50.”

“We’re still working on it as hard as we can,” the Democratic governor said. “I think we’ve got a product that’s pretty good, but there seems to be a political barrier there that we haven’t been able to get past.”

The “product” Hickenlooper was referring to is a revised draft of legislation that would serve as the centerpiece for a special session.

The potential bill aims to strike a compromise on the issue of how much control communities have in dealing with fracking — the blasting of water, sand and chemicals deep into the earth to free up oil and gas.

As the November election nears, the move toward a legislative solution is growing urgent for interested parties. There are several fracking-related ballot initiatives that could end up making it to the ballot this fall.

So far, a handful of Colorado communities have taken action on fracking issues by placing drilling bans or moratoriums in their towns. And, on June 24, Loveland voters narrowly rejected a ballot question that sought to place a two-year moratorium on fracking within city limits.

The draft bill grants communities the ability to dictate some aspects of oil and gas operations, and it has received the support of seven oil and gas companies.

“The legislative solution that you have put forward will ensure communities continue to have a voice in the regulation of oil and natural gas development, while protecting property rights, and supporting responsible energy development,” states a June 26 letter that was written to Hickenlooper on behalf of the seven companies.

“Your proposal will also help avoid ballot measures that, if adopted, would become constitutional provisions that leave no room for negotiation or compromise, regardless of the circumstances. We believe the legislature is the right place to work through these issues.”

Hickenlooper – a pro-fracking geologist –

would rather see all parties reach a compromise on local control issues at the legislative level, instead of having voters decide on what could be a large number of ballot proposals in the fall, ones that would be spearheaded by anti-fracking advocates and financed in large part by Democratic Congressman Jared Polis.

“If you look at the potential consequences to having a $50 (million) to $75 million ballot initiative campaign fight between both sides ... that’s not necessarily a good thing,” the governor said. “It creates a divisive and bitter battle and no matter the resolution, the other side is going to come right back and be all over it next year.

“Things like this are much better solved in legislative solutions because you can come back and amend them easier the next year; whereas ... most stuff in the state Constitution, we don’t take out.”

But reaching that compromise is a whole other matter. On one hand there are significant economic interests associated with fracking. On the other, there are serious environmental concerns. That can be a tough balance to find in a place like Colorado, where the two sides of the argument have powerful backers.

Some anti-fracking advocates are voicing their displeasure with the draft legislation.

“I’ve read the proposal and I am adamantly against it,” said Laura Fronckiewicz of Our Broomfield, an anti-fracking group. “What I saw is a huge step backwards. This is a total giveaway to the oil and gas industry.”

Meanwhile, those on the other side of the divide are gearing up for what they believe is an imminent fight over drilling this fall.

“All signs point to a big, expensive, drawnout election,” said Jon Haubert of Coloradans for Responsible Energy Development, a profracking group. “We don’t have to wait for a special session. We can see the writing on the wall.”

Another key question is whether Republican lawmakers will support any compromise that limits oil and gas operations. And there’s no guarantee that a bill would earn enough support from conservative Democrats in the state Senate, where the party holds a one-seat majority.

Although he has lowered the odds of a special session occurring, Hickenlooper is still holding out hope for a resolution.

“If these guys (oil and gas companies) think it’s OK to give some local control to the community, maybe there should be a bipartisan solution there,” the governor said.

At the same time, the governor knows that time is running out on reaching that compromise.

“That ticking clock is loud in my head, that we are rapidly running out of time,” he said.

Judge upholds state’s gun laws Constitutionality, not wisdom, of statutes weighed by court

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A federal judge on June 26 rejected a court challenge to gun restrictions that took effect last year, ruling that the new statutes do not infringe on the Second Amendment right to bear firearms, as was alleged by the plaintiffs.

The lawsuit was filed by several county sheriffs in Colorado, along with citizens and businesses.

The judge’s decision means that the controversial 2012 laws that created universal background checks on gun sales and transfers and banned high-capacity ammunition magazines will remain on the books.

The ruling was a victory for gun-control advocates who believe that the laws help to prevent the kind of mass bloodshed that occurred during the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, which prompted the legislation.

“Today is an important day in the fight to keep our communities and families safe from gun violence,” Rita Schweitz of the Colorado Coalition Against Gun Violence said through an emailed statement.

But plaintiffs told reporters following the court ruling that they plan to appeal the judge’s decision.

“We believe (the judge) got it wrong as a matter of law,” said attorney Dave Kopel. “We think we have a very strong case in the Court of Appeals.”

The state of Colorado and Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper — who signed the bills into law — were named as defendants in the lawsuit.

Chief U.S. District Court Judge Marcia S. Krieger ruled that the law that bans ammunition magazines that carry more than 15 rounds “is not severe” in how it impacts a person’s ability to keep or bear firearms for selfdefense purposes.

“... this statute does not prevent the people of Colorado from possessing semiautomatic weapons for self-defense, or from using those weapons as they are designed to function,” Krieger wrote in a 50-page opinion. “The only limitation imposed is how frequently they must reload their weapons.”

Supporters of the magazine ban law argue that the statute limits the would-be shooters’ abilities to get their hands on high-capacity magazines. They also argue that limiting the amount of rounds a person can fire allows time for victims to fight back or for law enforcement to intervene while the shooter reloads.

The plaintiffs argued that skilled shooters know how to reload quickly anyway, which mitigates the benefit of a “critical pause” during magazine reloading. However, Krieger rejected that argument, saying that, “a pause, of any duration, imposed on the offensive shooter can only be beneficial ...”

Krieger also took issue with a plaintiffs’ argument that those who are intent on committing violence will simply ignore the law and obtain the magazines anyway.

“Hypothetically, this may be true, but the Court declines to speculate about the subjective intentions and means of unspecified criminals involved in unspecified gun violence,” Krieger wrote.

As for the law that requires background checks on all gun sales and transfers, the plaintiffs argued that the Second Amendment protects the borrowing of guns for lawful purposes.

But Krieger disagreed with the plaintiffs’ interpretation of the Second Amendment.

“As repeatedly noted, the Second Amendment guarantees an individual’s right to keep and bear arms for the core purpose of defense of self and home,” she wrote. “However, it is not at all clear that the Second Amendment prevents the government from restricting the

Analysts give Beauprez a shot, but a long one Hickenlooper perceived as early favorite, but could be vulnerable

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Political observers think that Republican primary voters were wise to avoid picking a polarizing conservative to match up against Gov. John Hickenlooper in the fall, but can the party’s candidate take back the governor’s mansion for the GOP? That question will be answered in November, after voters cast ballots in a race that pits the Democratic Hickenlooper against former Congressman Bob Beauprez.

Republicans haven’t won a governor’s race in Colorado since Bill Owens was re-elected in 2002 — and Owens was the first Republican to hold the governor’s seat since John David Vanderhoof left office in 1975.

So, can Beauprez — who lost a 2006 governor’s race to Bill Ritter by 15 points — reclaim the seat for the GOP? “The answer at this juncture has to be yes,” said Norman Provizer, a longtime political science professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver. “Hickenlooper has a lot of positive things going for him. At the same time, is he in an invulnerable position? No. It’s going

to be a race.”

While Beauprez may have a chance to win, the political consensus is that he is the underdog in the race.

“It’s still a long shot but it’s not an impossible shot to beat John Hickenlooper,” said Eric Sondermann, an independent political analyst. “But (Beauprez’ emergence from the primary) forces Hickenlooper to wage an intense campaign. Whereas, if it was Tom Tancredo as the nominee, he could have just phoned it in.”

Tancredo — who is also a former congressman and failed gubernatorial candidate — finished in second place in the primary. He was seen by many political analysts as too polarizing of a candidate to win a general election, especially given his views on immigration, which could have scared off Latino voters.

“From the Republican Party — dare I stay establishment — there was a real concern over Tancredo,” Provizer said. “To put it as simply as I can, he was viewed as a threat by many major Republican players in this state, viewed as a loose cannon that would have negative effects on other Republican candidates in state races.”

But how better off Republicans are with Beauprez as their candidate remains to be seen.

Beauprez won’t be facing the political headwinds this time around that he was dealing with in 2006, which was a brutal year for

Republicans across the country. And Republicans are hopeful that this year’s congressional midterm elections will create a national wave that will help their party’s state candidates.

But Sondermann said that Beauprez needs more than just a Republican wave in order to win. He’ll need mistakes on the part of Hickenlooper — such as comments the governor recently gave to a group of county sheriffs, where he initially indicated a backpedalling of his support of a ban on high-capacity gun magazines. Hickenlooper later clarified his comments and reiterated his support.

Not only that, Beauprez will need to “persuade people that he can actually win this thing, in order for people to invest money and energy in this race,” Sondermann said.

If Beauprez runs a good campaign, he could give Hickenlooper his first real campaign fight. Hickenlooper won his Denver mayoral races fairly easily and won the governor’s mansion in 2010 in a rout.

“Hickenlooper is a tough guy to beat,” Sondermann said. “But the flip side is, John Hickenlooper has never been severely tested in a political sense. We’ll see if this turns out to be a severe test or not. If it is, (Hickenlooper) doesn’t have that experience in a bare knuckle fight.”

Beauprez gave a preview of the kind of campaign he intends to wage against Hickenlooper during his primary victory speech on June 24. He attacked Hickenlooper over

his support for gun control legislation and increased renewable energy mandates on electric cooperatives, which he believes has had a negative impact on rural parts of the state.

Beauprez also blasted Hickenlooper for granting a temporary reprieve for death row inmate Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in 1996.

But Hickenlooper will tout the state’s economic uptick and is sure to point to an unemployment rate that has continued to drop while he’s been in office.

Provizer thinks that Hickenlooper’s personality and governing style is an asset.

“If you think about it, Hickenlooper was mayor and governor at a very difficult economic time,” he said. “He can be pretty `Coloradan.’ He’s not overly formal and he has a sense of humor. If you look for a leader who says there’s only one right way, this is what we’re gonna do and everything else is wrong — well, that’s not him.”

While analysts think that Beauprez has a shot, they believe that the former congressman needs to run a more inspirational campaign than the one he ran in 2006, in order to win.

“When your opponent gets close to 60 percent in an American election, that’s not a victory, that’s a slaughter,” Provizer said. “Candidates and campaigns matter, as does the general political environment.”

Shrader leads Republican vote for Sheriff Candidate unopposed in November contest

The gun bills were the most controversial of all legislation that was passed by the Democratic-majority Legislature last year. Testimony and debate on the bills often dragged on for several hours and led to Capitol protests from pro-gun advocates as well as shows of support from gun-safety and victims’-rights groups.

The bills — which passed with no Republican support — had political ramifications for

headed by Republican Attorney General John Suthers.

“Like Judge Krieger, the Colorado Attorney General’s Office has never asserted that the laws in question are good, wise or sound policy,” Suthers said through a statement. “As it does in all cases, the AG’s Office has fulfilled its responsibility to defend the constitutionality of the Colorado law in question.

“The Attorney General’s Office fully expects the case to be appealed and looks forward to final resolution of the issues as soon as possible.”

But plaintiffs insist that the laws — especially the magazine limit ban — are unenforceable and that Krieger’s decision doesn’t change that belief.

“I came out right away and said that these

laws are unenforceable, so therefore I won’t enforce them,” said Weld County Sheriff John Cooke.

Meanwhile, the court ruling was hailed as a victory for those who have lost loved ones during episodes of gun violence.

Dave Hoover, a Lakewood police officer whose nephew, AJ Boik, was killed during the Aurora theater shooting, said the high-capacity magazine ban “can reduce the number of victims killed in mass shootings.”

“And as someone who has worked in law enforcement here in Colorado for over 30 years, I can tell you that limiting high-capacity magazines is a significant step in protecting our law enforcement officers in the field.”

Democrats. The legislation cost Democrats three seats in the state Senate through officeholders’ defeats in recall elections and the resignation of another in the face of a recall threat.

In her decision, Krieger acknowledged the polarizing debate over gun issues, but said that the court’s role has nothing to do with whether a law is popular. It only concerns itself with the constitutionality of the law.

“Put another way,” Krieger wrote, “in determining whether a law is constitutional, this decision does not determine whether either law is `good,’ only whether it is constitutionally permissible.”

As is the case with all court challenges to state laws, the case was defended by the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, which is

Permanent bathrooms planned for parks Sports Complex, Northern Light Ball Fields to receive improvements

By Tammy Kranz tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Long-awaited amenities are planned for the Thornton Sports Complex and Northern Lights Ball Fields — permanent bathrooms.

The city plans to work with a company to design and start construction on the restrooms this year, according to Diane Van Fossen, the city’s capital projects and planning manager.

“The goal is to have the new restrooms completed in 2015 in time for use during the spring sports seasons,” she said.

The Northern Lights Ball Fields, 13800 York Street, served more than 900 participants in 2013.

The Thornton Sports Complex, 10370 McKay Road, has multi-use fields and served more than 2,500 participants who were part of the Thornton Baseball Association, Adams County Family YMCA and Thornton Junior Football League and Cheerleading.

“However, team participants are not the only consideration in the need for restrooms; the additional family members attending as spectators such as parents, siblings and grandparents can raise the number of restroom users exponentially,” Van Fossen said.

Visitors have been using portable toilets at the parks, and the city has received many calls about when permanent bathrooms will be installed, said Mayor Heidi Williams during an Open Space Grants ceremony with the Board of County Commissioners on May 19.

“Being the sixth largest city in Colorado and first largest in Adams County, we have so many citizens that really do utilize all of our parks and recreation,” she said.

The total cost for the project at both locations is $774,000.

The city is using annual proceeds from the Adams County Open Space Grant to fund the project. This year the city received $387,000.

“We do not expect the participation levels to increase due to the addition of flush toilets, but believe that the upgrade will offer users a more pleasant user experience while enjoying Thornton’s park amenities,” Van Fossen said.

She said the bathrooms are still in the design phase but she expects the bathrooms to have up to five stalls and three sinks per restroom.

The project also entails installing a concession pad at the Thornton Sports Complex, which will have an electrical pedestal for vehicles to plug into and serve beverages and snacks.

“The Thornton Sports Complex does not currently have a dedicated space for this activity,” Van Fossen said. “The Northern Lights Ball Fields has an existing concession building to allow snack sales, so a separate concession vehicle pad is not necessary.”

Improvements planned for Rotella Park County invests $1.7M in Welby area park

Adams County will hold a groundbreaking ceremony Saturday, July 19, to mark the beginning of a $1.7 million renovation of Rotella Park in the Welby neighborhood.

“The Welby neighborhood is one of the oldest in Adams County,” said Board of County Commissioners Chair Charles “Chaz” Tedesco. “The Rotella Park project is a central element in a community-wide initiative to beautify the area and enhance the quality of life for all residents.”

The 40-acre park is near the center of the Welby community, at 2224 Coronado Parkway South. Welby covers four square miles south of east 88th Avenue, west of the South Platte River, north of Interstate 76 and east of Interstate 25. About 15,000 residents live in Welby.

The Adams County Board of Commissioners approved a contract with Richdell Construction Inc. during their June 17 regular meeting. Prior to the vote, the county’s contract manager, Liz Estrada, gave some highlights of the planned improvements.

“The 2014 Rotella Park Improvement

Project will correct poor drainage conditions around the two gravel parking lots and low-lying areas,” she said. “(It will) eliminate, reorganize, repair, modify and/or replace outdated components, including parking lots, shelters, park furniture, landscape features, plant materials, irrigation systems, play areas, hard surfaces, signage, restrooms, access and egress and courts of the park.”

The project will be funded through lottery money from the Conservation Trust Fund, sales tax dollars and a few federal grants. Officials expect the work to be completed by January 2015.

“The Rotella Park project strongly reflects the desires of the Welby community,” Adams County Natural Resource Manager Marc Pedrucci said. “We are excited to see this project begin after years of planning. The park has been in need of upgrades and new drainage for quite some time, and we are confident the public will be pleased with the improvements.”

In May, the commissioners adopted a Welby subarea plan to help guide future growth and development in the community. The plan noted that Welby residents were concerned about safety and graffiti issues at the park.

A neighborhood clean-up is planned in conjunction with the groundbreaking ceremony on July 19.

Running certain aspects of the district place; why wouldn’t there be applications are things that I bring from my other ex- from across the United States? And so they periences. Being a teacher, I understand did their interviews, I did my best and I’m what it’s like to be in a classroom with stu- not going to apologize for being the sole dents, with lots of students from elemen- candidate.

The process is owned by the board of tary school kids, to middle school kids, to

education and my job was to step in and compete and I did that and I’m sitting here today.

In this particular case, a lot of things around student achievement, growth, postsecondary and workforce readiness, and responsible citizens, those are the five big goals that I understand the board is looking to improve.

My job becomes: How can I do that?

How do you feel working with a polarized board?

M: My job is to try and work with the whole board around getting decisions that are going to move the district forward. Be it all five people are on the same page or all five people are not, I think that strengthens the decision needed. My job will be to try and work with them moving forward, and if you’re 5-0 every single vote, that doesn’t leave a lot of opportunity to talk about the diverse viewpoints that are represented in any district.

It’s a sign of our times that there are school boards across the nation with a similar dynamic.

We’ve got to work together and find a way to work together, so that’s going to be the work that I’ve got to do.

I would like to reach a point where we can have conversations where we can disagree without being disagreeable, where we can reach some decisions that are best for kids that we can all agree on, but I recognize that’s going to be an uphill climb.

What are your main priorities for the 2014-2015 school year?

M: First of all, we talked previously about the board’s goals, and those are really what the charge of the superintendent is, to create a system that is going to reach those goals and work with people to create a system that’s going to reach those goals.

Our job is to make sure we set up systems to help them (teachers, staff, schools) do their job.

My goal for this next year is make sure I understand the system. I’m big on context and I think there was some criticism that I’m going to come in and have this plan, and do one, two, three, four, five things — that’s not the best way to work from my experience.

Tag-team cancer fighters ACS works with local King Soopers to raise funds, awareness

By Clarke Reader creader @coloradocommunitymedia.com The American Cancer Society recently celebrated those fighting the good fight against the deadly disease with its annual Relay for Life event, an event that wouldn’t be possible without the assistance of local King Soopers.

According to Michelle Bisbee, Relay for Life specialist with the ACS, the event would not be nearly as successful as it has been without King Soopers and its employees.

“We’ve been really fortunate to have King Soopers behind us,” she said. “The relay really benefits because they challenge their stores to get employees to participate.”

The King Soopers sixth district includes the western Denver area, and it is the stores in this particular district that have really come through for the West Metro Relay for Life, according to ACS Senior Director of Community Engagement, Scott Dishong.

“King Soopers has worked to make sure they have teams and employees in

the race and this year had a company goal of raising $30,000 for us, which they also did,” he said.

The West Metro Relay, which was held on June 20 at Red Rocks Community College, had around 40 teams with 236 participants and King Soopers fielded 24 teams and 126 participants, according to Bisbee.

Dishong said that money raised at the Relay for Life goes to research and free programs for cancer patients all over the metro area. The ACS is currently funding 869 grants nationwide totaling more than $446 million and a total of 15 research grants are in Colorado, totaling more than $7.1 million.

“It’s interesting to see all the things being done to fight cancer right here in Denver,” he said. “We have programs like the Road to Recovery which gives newly diagnosed people rides to their treatment appointments.”

Another program that the money goes to is Patient Navigators, which provide guidance for cancer patients, their families and caregivers to help them through the cancer treatment experience, with a focus on identifying and eliminating barriers to cancer care for the medically underserved.

“We’re so grateful to have them standing with us in this fight,” Bisbee said.

For more information or to find an upcoming event, visit RelayForLife.org.

The best way to work is you come in, see what’s happening in the system, and you adjust the work moving forward for the benefit of students based on input.

The first thing is about building context and developing relationships, then the next thing is to look at the systems we currently have and look at how do those systems align with the goals we want to have in the end.

Currently, Jeffco’s relationship with the teachers’ union is rocky at best. What is your opinion of that and how do you propose to bridge the gap between administrators, the district and teachers?

M: The relationship with the teachers association, the first thing you have to do is meet the people and build a relationship and then try to decide some mutual goals we want to move towards and move together towards those goals.

Having everybody understand why you made that decision, how that decision was arrived at and what other viewpoints were considered, you have to try to do that as much as you can so teachers understand that.

Obviously my relationship with the professional organizations in this district is going to be huge. Setting up a system for them for feedback on what’s working well in the system and how we can continue to improve is going to be a critical piece of working with teachers.

I can’t change anything that’s happened with the teachers association before this, but I can try to form and be a part of creating the future.

What are you looking forward to as the new superintendent?

M: I love to meet people and work with people. The goal of anybody in a leadership position is to create the conditions for other people’s success, and I really enjoy that.

I love working with people, helping them, and working with identifying where they can get better and helping them to provide the resources and opportunities to get better.

I’m going to really enjoy going out and being in classrooms in a different district to find out how this district does what they do.

I just love working with people and that’s the thing I like to do the most.

Help for mentally ill can be hard to find Patients, families find that resources are spread thin

By Kristin Jones

Rocky Mountain PBS I-News Editor’s note: This is the last of a threepart series.

Danielle Nordeen drives a 16-year-old Toyota Camry that doesn’t handle well on snowy mountain passes. In January, Nordeen had to make the drive from her home in Grand Junction to Pueblo often enough that she developed a strategy: Find a semi with its hazard lights on and follow it closely, prompting the other drivers to direct their wrath toward the trucker rather than her.

A 300-mile solo drive across the state in winter can be stressful under the best circumstances, but Nordeen’s reason for making the drive twice a week for three weeks was devastating: She was visiting her son in a psychiatric ward, after he lashed out at school and later threatened to kill himself and staff at a crisis-stabilization center.

Her son is 7.

Across the state, the same story plays out. A shortage of treatment options for people with mental illnesses means waiting months to see a psychiatrist, or driving hundreds of miles for a psychiatric bed. Police and emergency rooms bear the brunt of a splintered system that juggles crises, but falls short on treatment.

The questions that swirled after the brutal massacre at an Aurora movie theater in 2012 are the same ones that followed Jared Loughner’s attack on Gabrielle Giffords and her staff in 2011. They came even louder after the Newtown Elementary School killings in Connecticut. They circulate privately after suicides. The signs of mental illness and the threats were apparent: Why didn’t anyone intervene?

Medical professionals and advocates cite a combination of barriers: Adults have the right to refuse intervention. Parents are often reluctant to call 911, when it can mean that their children are cuffed by police. Schools, employers and hospitals are too quick to say it’s not their problem. Acquaintances and friends feel ill-equipped to act.

“We regularly hear people say things

like, ‘I knew something was wrong, but I didn’t know what to do,’” says Carl Clark, who heads the Mental Health Center of Denver, which counsels workplaces after suicides.

In response to the mass shooting in Aurora, the state recently passed a law that expands the duty of therapists to warn of threats against an institution like a school or theater, not just against a person. A plan for new crisis centers in Colorado — while stalled — is intended to relieve the burden on first responders.

Legal improvements, better education and increased capacity “don’t guarantee that bad things won’t happen,” says Clark.

“But we’re going to decrease the likelihood it’s going to happen.”

Routine care can also be hard to come by, particularly in rural areas where psychiatrist shortages are acute.

“There are people saying there’s something going wrong and I have to get treatment,” says Clark. When treatment isn’t immediately available, “they throw up their hands and give up.”

For some people who live with mental illnesses and their families, efforts to make intervention easier can miss the point.

They want help, they say. What they need is more support for treatment and recovery in the communities where they live.

Jennifer Hill, who manages a mentalhealth advocacy organization called the Colorado Mental Wellness Network and has personal experience with recovering from illness, says that recovery is stymied by a system that can seem to offer being locked up or nothing.

“You’re in or you’re out,” Hill says.

Better treatment requires more than an infusion of resources and improved access, says Hill. People won’t sign up for treatment that isn’t therapeutic.

“It’s treating people with dignity and respect,” says Hill, “and not treating them like they’re dangerous and horrible people.”

More court orders

The other second-graders have watched the police take Danielle Nordeen’s son away in handcuffs before.

The latest crisis was set off when one of the other children reminded him of that very fact. The 7-year-old tore posters from

Danielle Nordeen, right, plays a board game with her 7-year-old son at their Grand Junction home on Monday afternoon, April 14. In January, Nordeen’s son was sent to a psychiatric ward hundreds of miles from their home, after he lashed out at school and later threatened to kill himself and staff at a crisis-stabilization center. A shortage of treatment options for people with mental illnesses means waiting months to see a psychiatrist, or driving across the state for a psychiatric bed. Photo by Rocky Mountain PBS I-News the wall, kicked and hit the teachers, flooded the toilets. The Grand Junction elementary school went on lockdown.

Nordeen showed up to find her boy rolling around in dirty water in the bathroom.

When a local crisis center placed him on an emergency psychiatric hold for his threats, only Parkview Hospital in Pueblo had a bed available. Nordeen works a lowwage job in Grand Junction, and had to return to work after leaving him there, or risk losing her apartment.

“I literally just felt like I was dropping him off and walking away,” says Nordeen, holding back tears, “which as a mom, that’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.”

The number of people placed into involuntary mental-health treatment has jumped in recent years. Court filings show a 35 percent jump in 72-hour holds, shortand long-term certifications, and other court-ordered treatment between fiscal years 2009 and 2013. Mental health providers reported 31,317 emergency mentalhealth holds in fiscal year 2013, according to state officials, a 21 percent increase from just a year earlier.

But the growing demand for beds hasn’t been met by an increase in availability. Instead, the options for low-income Coloradans in particular have shrunk as beds at the two state psychiatric hospitals have closed. In 2014, the state mental health institutes at Fort Logan and Pueblo have 553 beds, down from 734 in 2000.

All told, there are only 1,093 inpatient psychiatric beds in all hospitals around the state, according to the state Department of Human Services, around 20 percent fewer than five years ago. That’s about 21 beds for every 100,000 Coloradans, among the lowest rates in the U.S. The state is in the process of evaluating what services might be lacking across its various regions. In part, says Dr. Patrick Fox, an official with the state Office of Behavioral Health, the hope is that private-sector psychiatric hospitals will meet some of the need. He gave the example of Clear View Behavioral Health, which broke ground in April on a 92-bed hospital east of Loveland expected to open in 2015.

For now, hospital administrators and family members describe large geographic swaths of scarcity. In Grand Junction, West Springs Hospital is the only psychiatric hospital between Salt Lake City and Denver. The hospital, which has 32 beds, opened in 2005, at the same time as neighboring St. Mary’s Hospital closed its inpatient psychiatric beds.

Like other private-sector hospitals across the state, St. Mary’s found that providing psychiatric services on top of other medical services was too costly. Even af-

ter closing its psychiatric department, the hospital absorbs about $300,000 in unreimbursed expenses each year related to providing mental-health services, says Dan Prinster, the hospital’s vice president for business development.

Now, West Springs finds that it’s often filled to capacity, and has to turn people away. Kim Boe, the hospital’s vice president, says the wait list generally hovers between six and eight people each day.

Most not violent

The vast majority of people with mental illnesses are not violent, but those who are receive more than their fair share of headlines and news broadcasts. The rate of violence among people with severe mental illnesses ranges from 8 percent for those receiving outpatient treatment to 37 percent among patients in the throes of their first episode of psychosis, according to a research review by Jeffrey Swanson, a Duke University psychiatry professor whose work on the issue is widely cited.

Suicide has a much closer tie with mental illness. More than 90 percent of those who take their own lives have depression or another mental disorder, or a substance abuse issue, according to one epidemiological study cited by the National Institute of Mental Health.

Much of the demand for psychiatric beds comes from people who pose a danger to themselves. The scarcity can make an already precarious situation even more traumatizing.

Grand Junction resident Rebecca Edwards has had a long history of mental illness, including depression, and has been through the whole gamut of available care.

After she was administered electro-convulsive therapy a few years ago at Porter Hospital, she didn’t recognize the symptoms of a stroke that permanently affected her speech. She thought she was experiencing the side effects of shock therapy.

Edwards says she’s grateful for the mental health treatment that has allowed her to live in the community, supported by her peers. But when the stress of moving to an assisted-living situation last July sent her into a deep depression, she needed more intensive treatment.

What she got instead was a disorienting ride across the mountains with strangers in the middle of the night. Placed in an involuntary mental-health hold because she was suicidal, Edwards was handcuffed. She landed at a hospital in Colorado Springs.

“I felt very afraid, very alone,” says Edwards. “When you get taken away from that support, it’s hard to deal with. It made me feel a lot more hopeless, like I was alone in my struggle with depression.”

FAC dives into ‘La Belle Époque’ in summer exhibit

By Clarke Reader

creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

P

aris has been the center of more than one artistic explosion over the years, and generation after generation have journeyed to the city to participate in their own pivotal epoch.

One of the most well known artistic eras is the avant-garde “La Belle Époque,” which arose during the turn of the 19th century and introduced artists like Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edouard Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard, Juan Gris, and Mary Cassatt.

The Foothills Arts Center is giving art lovers a chance to revisit this wonderful age of art with its exhibit, “ Toulouse-Lautrec and La Vie Moderne: Paris 1880-1910.”

The exhibit will be at the FAC, 809 15th St. in Golden, through Aug. 17. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday noon to 5 p.m.

“We are excited to have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring these rare works of ToulouseLautrec and his contemporaries to downtown Golden and present art at an international level in a local and intimate venue,” said Mary Ellen Williams, Executive Director of FAC. The exhibit highlights the work of ToulouseLautrec while featuring works from 94 of his contemporaries and taps into the various different avant-garde movements, from Realists, Naturalists and Symbolists to Nabis, and Incohérents.

“You get to see the great variety of the works, the subjects, the colors,” said Marianne Lorenz, curator of FAC. “Almost all of the works we have on display are paintings and works on paper.”

Lorenz added that the work of Tolouse-Lautrec and his contemporaries forged the way for future artists like Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons by erasing the boundaries between high art and popular culture.

The works come from private and public collections in Holland and France in an array of media: paintings, watercolors, drawings, rare zinc shadow puppet silhouettes, and illustrated programs for the famous Chat Noir cabaret shadow

theatre. The lenders include the Gemeentemuseum, The Hague; the Musee d’Ixelles, Belgium; the Stichting Het Kattenkabinet, Amsterdam; and Private Collections in The Netherlands and France.

To spread information about the artists and the era they lived in, FAC will be hosting several speWHAT: Toulouse-Lautrec and La Vie cial events Moderne: Paris 1880-1910 throughout WHERE: Foothill Arts Center, the exhibit’s 809 15th St., Golden stay, includWHEN: Through Aug. 17 ing lectures Tuesday - Saturday: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. from Lorenz, Sunday: noon to 5 p.m. tours and COST: Non-members: $15 adults, $10 film showseniors, $5 youth, children under 10 free Members: $5 adults, $5 seniors, $3 youth, ings of children under 10 free “Moulin INFORMATION: 303-279-3922 or www.

One of the more unique events will be Absinthe in the Era of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec at the Golden Moon Speakeasy, 1111 Miner’s Alley. The event is 6-8 p.m. on July 31.

Stephen Gould, Proprietor and Distiller at Golden Moon Distillery and Golden Moon Speakeasy, will speak about the history and folklore of absinthe during the 19th century in France and Lorenz will discuss the culture and significance of Paris at the fin de siècle (turn of the century).

Lorenz described the time in French history as extremely lively and that shows up in artwork produced during these years.

“This is a great opportunity for people to come in and see some fabulous original prints,” she said. “We work really hard here at Foothills to show different kinds of art and contextualize them — these are beautiful things that you won’t see elsewhere.”

IF YOU GO

Coloradans are familiar with the impressive sports career of Jeremy Bloom, the three-time world champion skier, two-time Olympian, 11-time World Cup gold medalist and member of the United States Skiing Hall of Fame. And when he wasn’t tearing up the slopes, Bloom was burning up the gridiron as a CU Buff and briefly as an NFL player.

But despite all of Jeremy’s sports accolades, his sister, Molly, was leading a quieter yet more colorful life as the owner/ organizer of a high-stakes poker game for the rich and famous, including actors Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and billionaire Guy Laliberté, CEO of Cirque du Soleil.

“Molly ran her exclusive, top-secret, bicoastal poker ring for several years, keeping the details secret from even her closest friends and family — but now she’s finally showing her hand in her memoir, `Molly’s Game,’” which was released June 24, according to a story in The New York Post.

Molly Bloom grew up in Loveland, with her dad, a Colorado State University professor, mom and two brothers.

“Months later, Bloom was heading to one of her games when a player texted her that the feds had crashed it looking for her,” the Post story says. “Bloom fled to Colorado, where she refused to talk to investigators, which resulted in her assets being frozen.

“The former high-roller lived a quiet life in Colorado until two years later, in 2013, when she moved back to LA and shortly after got a knock on her door from the FBI. “She was charged, along with 30 others, with participating in two RussianAmerican organized-crime enterprises engaged in gambling and money laundering. (She says she had no idea about her players’ illicit dealings.)”

Molly, who was dubbed “the Poker Princess” by news outlets during the trial, avoided prison and was sentenced to one year of probation earlier this year.

“If I had to do it all over, would I choose the same path?” she writes. “My answer is yes, a thousand times yes. I had a grand adventure.”

Cities gear up for Fourth Northglenn hosts all-day event, Thornton’s starts at 4 p.m.

By Tammy Kranz tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Various cities across Colorado are gearing up for July 4 celebrations, and Thornton and Northglenn are no exceptions.

The city of Northglenn will host its allday event at E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park, 11800 Community Center Drive.

The event kicks off with a Boy Scout Pancake Breakfast at 7 a.m. at the Ponderosa/Blue Spruce Pavilions — cost of

the meal varies on the order, which can include pancakes, egg, sausage, milk and juice.

At 7:30 a.m. the Firecrackers and Flapjacks Run, a four-mile run and walk, starts on the southeast side of Webster Lake.

This run is followed by the Bike, Trike and Wheelchair & Patriotic Pooch Parades starting at 9:30 a.m. on the northwest corner of Webster Lake.

The annual car show between City Hall and the Northglenn Recreation Center — just across the street from the park - begins at 10 a.m. and the awards ceremony will be at 2:15 p.m. New this year, the American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Webster Lake will host the show and receive the proceeds from the entry fees.

“When we were looking for a way to

take the car show to the next level, partnering with such a great organization was the obvious step,” said the city’s Communication Manager, Jason Rogers. “The Webster Lake Relay will help us tremendously in organizing the show and in return the proceeds will go towards a good cause.”

Judith Tannehill, event chair for Relay for Life of Webster Lake, said this event will help the organization’s bottom line, which is to raise funds to find a cure.

“The funds Relay for Life collects stays for this community,” she said.

There will be a free Playful City USA Water Play Area on the southwest side of Webster Lake 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Chris Daniels and the Kings — which is known for having a three-piece horn section performing swing, R&B and jump

blues style music — will perform 6:30-8 p.m. at the southeast stage. This concert is followed by a military recognition, and then the fireworks display at 9:30 p.m.

Most of the activities are free and the event is a family-friendly one, so the city is asking people not to bring alcohol.

The city of Thornton’s event will start at 4 p.m. at the Carpenter Park Fields, 108th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. Food vendors and the beer garden open at 4 p.m. as well as live music from Syke 96, the 2014 Thorntonfest Battle of the Bands winner. At 5:45 p.m. the Thornton Community Band will perform, followed by the Kory Brunson Band at 7:30 p.m.. At 9:30 p.m. there will be a parachutist jump and then the fireworks right after.

Free produce, giveaways at fair

By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com Learning how to make healthy choices can be a daunting endeavor, but the city of Thornton and its partners are trying to make that easier.

On June 29, the first of three summer Health and Produce Fairs took place from 9-11 a.m. at Church of Gods 7th Day, 9375 Gaylord St. in Thornton. The fair featured about 17 booths aimed at educating people how to live healthy and there will be plenty of giveaways including fresh produce and vegetables, bike helmets, fruit-flavored water samples, adhesive bandage kits, chapstick and more.

“Our goal is to show our community that making health choices can give them a better quality of life,” said Jaylin Stotler, community services coordinator with Thornton.

Every year the city of Thornton

teams up with the Food Bank of the Rockies, Cooking Matters and Tri-County Health Department to coordinate the fairs, which is designed to give people access to fresh fruits and vegetables and learn about other community resources available.

Several booths offer activities for children, coloring stations, learning how to plant seedlings and giveaways — however the focus is on health so junk food will not be given out, Stotler said.

“We won’t be giving out candy — it’s not that type of exhibit or trade show that way,” she said. “But it’s for the whole family — we want to make it fun for kids and teens.”

This year professional skateboarder Uriel Luebcke will be at the Testicular Cancer Society booth to sign autographs while information will be available for young males to learn about the disease.

“We think having this professional skater come out will be intriguing to our younger audience,”

Stotler said.

A popular station is the food demonstrations, which will be done by the staff at CSU Extension this month and Cooking Matters in July and August. The food used in the cooking demonstration is what will be given out by Food Bank of the Rockies.

It is not known until the afternoon before each fair what the Food Bank will have in stock to give out — so it is a quick turnaround for the food demonstrators to create a recipe.

Maggie Kennedy, program coordinator with Cooking Matters, said the recipes are generally a summer salsa or lettuce wrap. She said while a lot resource booths at the fair concentrate on access to produce and vegetables — Cooking Matters focuses on the education aspect.

“We want to educate people how to use those fruits and vegetables,” she said. “If you get an eggplant but don’t know what to do with it, what good does it do?”

Clint Rasti and Nathalie Matamoros with Cooking Matters hand out samples of a banana and almond butter snack during the Health and Produce Fair last July at the Church of God Seventh Day in Thornton. Photo by Tammy Kranz Visitors to the food demonstrations get to eat a sample of the food and take a recipe card home with them.

People are encouraged to attend all three fairs — the other two are July 18 and Aug. 15, 9-11 a.m. at the Church of Gods 7th Day. There are no residential or in-

come level requirements.

The fairs are in need of volunteers, if you are interested you can sign up at www.volunteerspot.com/ login/entry/1114974290072.

Lack of license doesn’t stop drunken drivers Adams County, Pueblo, Greeley report high number of offenders

By Burt Hubbard

Rocky Mountain PBS I-News One of every four motorists cited for drinking and driving in Colorado over the past two years was driving at the time without a valid license because it had been revoked, suspended or never issued.

And more than one-fifth had lost their driving privileges for a prior drunken driving conviction.

In one notorious Aurora case, Ever Olivos-Gutierrez, 40, allegedly driving drunk, ran a red light and smashed into a car being driven by Juan Carlos Dominquez-Palomino, 17, killing him two months before he was to graduate from high school.

Olivos-Gutierrez had never had a Colorado driver’s license and had been cited for two previous DUIs when he was involved in the deadly March 24 crash.

That same day, 10 other drivers across Colorado were cited for drinking while driving without a valid license. Five of them — from Pueblo to Colorado Springs to Mesa County — had lost their licenses for prior DUIs.

Corner House closes

The Corner House, the Jefferson Park eatery founded by Seattle Fish Co. “schoolmaster” James Iacino and celebrated chef Matt Selby (Vesta Dipping Grill, Steuben’s, Ace), closed June 21, according to a story in

Rocky Mountain PBS I-News and 9News analyzed electronic court records of 45,637 DUIs issued in Colorado from April 2012 through April 2014.

The analysis did not include Denver County Court, where court officials said they could not determine how many of the 13,200 motorists charged with drinking and driving over the two years had no valid driver’s license at the time.

The analysis found: • One-fourth or 10,978 of the 45,637 driving while intoxicated or impaired citations were issued to drivers who had previously had their licenses suspended, restrained or did not have a license. That’s an average of 15 a day without including Denver.

• At least 2,294 of those drivers, or three a day, had lost their driving privileges for a prior driving and drinking arrest.

• More than 250 separate law enforcement agencies in the state had stopped at least one driver for drinking and driving without a license.

Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck said the number of motorists driving without licenses is so pervasive that it overwhelms the justice system.

“The court takes it seriously, the prosecutors it take seriously, the police take it seriously, but we don’t have enough resources to be able to punish somebody appropriately

when they’re driving without a license,” Buck told 9News.

In the March 24 fatality, Aurora police arrived on the scene at East Colfax Avenue and Dayton Street and found the alleged assailant, Olivos-Gutierrez, in his car without a driver’s license.

In Aurora, Colorado’s third-largest city, the driving drunk without a license scenario was repeated more than once a day over the past two years for a total of 1,141 times.

When police looked up Olivos-Gutierrez’s record, they found he had been cited for two prior DUIs. That has happened 211 times with other drivers in Aurora during the two years. Olivos-Gutierrez now faces first-degree murder charges in connection with the fatal crash.

Aurora is not unique in dealing with the problem.

Thirty law enforcement agencies in Colorado have issued at least 100 DUI citations each to motorists with no license over the past two years.

Fran Lanzer, executive director of the Colorado MADD office, said part of the problem is that cars are such an integral part of people’s lives.

“We live in a society where people need to drive regardless of whether they are on a suspended license,” Lanzer said. “You still have to go to work. You have to pick up the kids.”

Buck said the justice system is also hamstrung because both DUI charges and driving without a valid license are misdemeanors.

“I think the most important thing from a story like this is that there are people that flagrantly abuse our laws and we need a stiff remedy for these people — a harsher sanction against them,” he said.

The legislature turned down a proposed bill earlier this year to make a third DUI a felony, a reform that Buck and Lanzer said would help combat the problem.

Lanzer said officials hope a new state law passed last year that went into effect in January will cut down on DUI driving, especially for motorists who lost their licenses for a prior drinking and driving offense.

The law allows first-time offenders to regain their licenses after 30 days if they use an ignition interlock device to prevent them from starting their cars if they have been drinking.

Previously, DUI offenders had to wait a year without a license before they could use the device.

Within less than a year of opening, Selby split from the neighborhood eatery for unclear reasons. Selby is now the top toque at Central Bistro in LoHi. Restaurant consultant and marketing maven Leigh Sullivan, who handles the restaurant’s public relations, became a part-owner, but according to Westword, the investment was too little too late.

The space has been taken over by an unnamed “up-and-coming” chef, who will reopen with a new concept.

“Bison are a true American icon that once thundered across our Great Plains,” said George W. McKerrow, who, along with media mogul Ted Turner, co-founded Ted’s Montana Grill and pioneered the effort to preserve our country’s bison herds. “This summer, we are celebrating authentic American dining by shining a spotlight on all the ways local mavericks enjoy our beef and bison burgers.”

Explore the best of the best carnival foods

S

ummer is a time of year when empty parking lots or fields get transformed into magical places of wonder. When the carnival comes to town, once barren spaces are filled with blinking lights and the hum of mechanical rides that treat thrill seekers to a whirling dervish of excitement. Cheers, jeers and game attendants can be heard, and the savory aroma of fried delights wafts in the breeze.

Traveling fairs and carnivals are hallmarks of late spring and summer. Comprised of vendors, games of chance, amusement rides, and more, these events attract scores of spectators. Historians believe the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair served as a catalyst for the creation of traveling carnivals. After the World’s Fair closed, traveling carnival companies began to tour the United States and abroad. The idea of mobile carnivals may have also been made trendy by the popularity of amusement areas like Coney Island and Atlantic City.

Although the rides and attractions certainly entice their share of carnival visitors, for many the unique culinary offerings available at fairs and carnivals are a big attraction as well. At carnivals, many people indulge in foods that are best enjoyed sparingly, such as fried foods, sticky sweets and meats on a stick. The following are some of the more popular fair foods.

Cotton candy

Cotton candy is a treat many people only eat at carnivals or fairs. A form of spun sugar mixed with air to produce a large volume of sticky sweet cotton, cotton candy was invented by dentist William Morrison and confectioner John C. Wharton in 1897. It was subsequently introduced to the public at the 1904 World’s Fair as “Fairy Floss.” Automatic cotton candy machines help make cotton candy available to market at carnivals and fairs around the world. Eat it quickly because cotton candy melts and gets messy under the hot sun.

Corn dogs

Foods served on sticks, including corn dogs, are a staple of carnivals because of their portability. Corn dogs are formed by dipping a hot dog into a cornmeal batter and frying it. Many credit Carl and Neil Fletcher with the first “corny dog,” served at the State Fair of Texas in 1942. Those who enjoy hot dogs and the crunch of an outer coating flock to concession stands for these salty delights.

Funnel cakes

What would a carnival be without some variation of fried dough? From Spanish churros to Italian zeppoles to regular doughnuts, there is something to be said about sweetened, chewy dough fried to form a crunchy outer shell. When dusted with powdered sugar, the confection is complete. Funnel cakes are a type of fried dough regularly sold at fairs across North America. Although the history of funnel cakes is debatable, popular opinion states they were made popular by German immigrants in Pennsylvania. Funnel cakes were once formed by pouring batter through a funnel into a hot pan of oil. Now it is usually done by pouring batter from a pitcher or through an automatic machine.

Kettle corn

Although popcorn is a popular fair food, so is its sweetened cousin, kettle corn.

Kettle corn was first introduced in the early 1700s by European immigrant farmers.

Corn was popped in large cast-iron pots filled with lard rendered from farm hogs.

The corn popped quite quickly in the kettles and sweeteners like sugar or honey were added to the popped corn. Modern kettle corn is made in much the same way, using corn, oil, sugar, and salt. Use of sugar produces a sweet crust on the popping corn. Constant stirring is required, or the sugar will burn in the kettle.

Carnivals, street fairs and feasts are popular attractions when the weather warms up. They’re heralded not only for their rides and games of chance but also for their indulgent foods.

Hepatitis C treatment costly, contentious

By Kristin Jones Rocky Mountain PBS I-News

Colorado’s Medicaid agency has begun covering a breakthrough hepatitis C drug on a case-by-case basis, while it decides who will qualify for the potentially life-saving medication and who will not.

Sovaldi, which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in December, has brought fresh hopes of a cure for the estimated 3.2 million Americans with chronic hepatitis C. But its price tag of $84,000 per treatment — or $1,000 a pill — has put it out of reach for many Coloradans suffering from the disease, which has a bigger footprint in lower-income populations. Many people with the disease don’t know they are infected, but severe cases can lead to liver cancer and cirrhosis.

Hepatitis C is spread through the blood of an infected person. Once a risk in blood transfusions and organ transplants, the disease is now most commonly spread in the U.S. by sharing dirty needles for intravenous drug use.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 15,000 Americans die each year from hepatitis C — similar to the numbers that die from AIDS. Faced with a $7.2 million bill after a short time of paying for the drug, Colorado’s Medicaid program put the brakes on covering Sovaldi early this year. Between late January and May, only four of the 43 Medicaid patients who applied to receive the drug received it.

The state Medicaid program will now take into account a list of factors when deciding which patients can receive the treatment, according to interim criteria that went into effect June 1. Among those excluded will be people who have already undergone treatment for the most common genotype of the disease in the United States, and some with a rarer form of the disease believed to be less responsive to Sovaldi.

Dr. Judy Zerzan, the chief medical officer at the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, said final criteria — expected in August — are unlikely to be much different.

“With any new drug, we have to think about safety, efficacy and cost,” she said.

Zerzan raised concerns about the small size of most studies of Sovaldi, and the littleknown potential for relapse. But cost is the main sticking point.

Political pressure requested

The Colorado Medicaid program has called on Gov. John Hickenlooper and lawmakers to put pressure on Gilead Sciences Inc., the manufacturer, to lower its price for the drug.

In a May letter to Hickenlooper, the department raised concerns that covering the drug for all Medicaid clients with the disease

would swallow the state’s entire pharmacy budget with appetite to spare.

It would cost between $506 million and $1 billion to cover the estimated 6,028 Medicaid clients in the state with a hepatitis C diagnosis, the department wrote. That is likely an underestimate, according to the letter, since it doesn’t take into account people who gained coverage under a recent expansion of Medicaid.

By comparison, Colorado’s entire pharmacy budget for fiscal year 2012-2013 was only $334 million, while the total state budget, including education, prisons and transportation, was $23 billion.

“We absolutely, sadly, cannot afford to treat everyone with hepatitis C,” Zerzan told Rocky Mountain PBS I-News. She describes her department’s approach as “how do we figure out who are most critical to treat right now, and who will benefit from it?”

Sovaldi is the first of a new generation of hepatitis C drugs expected to upend the market for the disease by offering all-oral treatments — as opposed to the injection-based — that are more effective and have fewer harsh side effects than existing treatments.

Small-scale studies of Sovaldi show a cure rate of more than 90 percent for common forms of the illness — a staggering success for a disease that can leave its victims with ravaged livers, requiring transplants.

Previous, less-effective treatments for hepatitis C relied on combinations including interferon, which can cause depression, anxiety, flu-like symptoms and fatigue.

Gilead beat competitors AbbVie and Merck to market with its pill, and reported Sovaldi sales of $2.27 billion in the first quarter of the year. FDA approval for competitor drug candidates, which may come before the end of the year, could put pressure on Gilead to lower its price. Meanwhile, Gilead has come under pressure from U.S. legislators. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, was among members of Congress who sent a letter to the pharmaceutical company in March demanding to know how Gilead reached its price tag for Sovaldi.

“Our concern is that a treatment cannot cure patients if they cannot afford it,” the legislators wrote.

Bill allows fast-tracking

DeGette, who sponsored a bill that allows the FDA to fast-track breakthrough drugs like Sovaldi, told I-News that companies that take advantage of that law should incorporate its savings into their pricing.

“The whole issue of how they arrived at the $84,000 per treatment is really a critical issue,” says DeGette.

The congresswoman said Gilead hasn’t yet provided answers to the legislators’ questions about pricing. DeGette, who is the ranking Democratic member on the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, said if she doesn’t get answers from Gilead soon, she will ask the chairman to hold hearings.

Gilead spokeswoman Cara Miller told INews that Sovaldi was priced to match the cost of prior regimens, and reduces the total cost of hepatitis C treatment when taking into account doctors’ visits and the costs of treating side effects.

Sovaldi “represents a finite cure, an important point to consider when comparing the price of a pill or bottle to the lifetime costs of treating a chronic disease,” Miller said in a statement.

Dr. Greg Everson is a University of Colorado Hospital hepatologist who conducted studies of Sovaldi with funding from Gilead.

He’s a proponent of treating more people with Sovaldi, saying it may save money in the end.

“The focus on the price per pill is pretty short-sighted because we’re losing touch with really big issues,” says Everson. “Before this drug came out, we were spending a lot of money on hep C and not getting anywhere near these results.”

Savings not clear

Cost comparisons remain contentious, though. Zerzan notes that the disease is slowmoving, and that most people with hepatitis C never deteriorate to the point of developing cirrhosis or liver cancer — the most expensive stages of the disease. She cites a study by the California Technology Assessment Forum that concludes that any savings would come from treating only the most serious cases.

Patient advocates note the human costs of leaving the disease untreated.

Colorado Medicaid’s criteria for covering Sovaldi “has created many questions about why some patients have access to care and why others do not,” says Joe McCormack, executive director of the Rocky Mountain division of the American Liver Foundation, which promotes liver health.

“My hope is that we can get to a place soon where all patients that would benefit from the new treatments would have access,” says McCormack.

Kim Bossley, a Longmont resident and a mother, is among the lucky few who have experienced the benefits of Sovaldi firsthand.

Bossley contracted hepatitis C at birth, when both she and her mother received blood transfusions. Her mother later died from the disease, and Bossley seemed to be on the same path. She had been through multiple failed treatments, suffering through side effects like hair loss, body sores, depression and extreme fatigue.

She had reached stage-4 cirrhosis by the time she enrolled in Everson’s study of Sovaldi last fall. Within five days of taking the drug, the virus was undetectable.

“We cried a lot,” says Bossley, remembering that when she was given the diagnosis nine years ago, she was told there was no cure.

“Watching my mom deteriorate from the disease was really tough, and then seeing the same symptoms in me.”

Bossley leads the Bonnie Morgan Foundation, which helps offset medical costs for people with hepatitis C. But she says her organization hasn’t been able to keep up with the towering costs.

“It’s heartbreaking for me to see so many people who need it,” says Bossley. She says the drug company and the insurers need to come together to find a way for more people to access the drug. “They struggle daily, while these people are dragging their feet.”

By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Editor’s Note: This story is the second in a three-part series exploring the breweries of Arvada. Look for the next installments in our July 31 edition.

Fed up with the inexpensive, tasteless brews from Anheuser-Busch and Budweiser, Adam Draeger sought a different flavor, and a craft brew piqued his interest.

“They made it on-site, and it was the only place you can get the beer in the world — that hit a heartstring for me,” Draeger said. “From that point on, I was on a mission to hit as many brewpubs as I could in the world, because that was just really unique beer.”

Following what he refers to as his “aha” moment in 1998, Draeger, then an engineer in Iowa, began to research home brewing, swiftly becoming involved in the home-brew community. Over the next 10 years, he joined several local home-brewing clubs and organizations, becoming a connoisseur of the trade, dedicating his weekends to learning the dos and don’ts of brewing, and perfecting his craft.

“Between educating myself on different beer styles, and the hands-on and the creativity, those kind of melded together and I wanted to home-brew,” Draeger said. “I was happy being an engineer, but I’m even happier being a brewer.”

A segment of the craft beer movement, home brewing is a way for individuals to create their own beer and experience brewing on a micro level. As a home brewer, Draeger spent his time brewing, meeting with other brewers and his mentors, tasting their beers, researching what made good beer and developing a deep passion for the home-brew community and the craft-beer industry.

“I definitely became a better brewer. I hung on every word, they told me to try something, and I was definitely going to try it,” he said. “The home-brewing clubs in general got me to want to be a brewer and that ultimately came to wanting to turn pro.”

Now a professional brewer at the Yak and Yeti Brewpub, Draeger still pays homage to his brewing roots.

By staying active in the local home-brew community, Draeger helps out local home brewers by creating the home-brew series, working with the KROC (Keg Ran Out Club) home-brewing organization to promote home brewers and working with home brewers to continue the trend of crafting quality beer.

“Home brewers get excited,” said Draeger. “The more breweries you get, the more home brewers you get; the more home brewers you get, the more breweries you get. It’s an upwards spiral — and you can see it here in Colorado.”

After leaving the engineering trade, Draeger moved his family to Colorado, where he sought work as a brewer with big breweries with a big beer culture, such as Avery Brewing Company, Oskar Blues and Great Divide Brewing Company. But after weighing his options, Draeger saw an opportunity to build, create and expand upon a small local brewery — the Yak and Yeti Brewpub.

Located in a historic house, the brewpub opened as an Indian/Nepalese restaurant,

with only three beers on tap. Formerly the Cheshire Cat Brewpub, the restaurant was equipped with a microbrewery, but was in need of a beer culture and brand.

“I had an opportunity to work at a chain brewpub here in Colorado, and I turned that job down to work here,” Draeger said.

“I came in here, there was no legitimacy, and I was like: This is a brewery? So I had to make a decision, do I want to be a shift brewer, with culture and low pay? Or do I want to be a head brewer at a place where there’s no culture and I have to take it upon myself to create it?”

Three years later, Draeger has furthered the Yak and Yeti Brewpub brand, creating a thriving beer culture with 10-12 beers on tap, community events, and serving up more than seven barrels, or 14 kegs, of craft beer a week to customers like Craig Rudolph, Neil Gedala and Edward Kajko.

“This is an inclusive place,” Kajko said.

“There’s a lot of different type of people here to have good conversation with, play games with, they do yoga here, and the bike ride — it’s our neighborhood bar, it’s charming and I know people.”

Featuring authentic Indian and Nepalese cuisine, the Yak and Yeti has a family atmosphere where customers can come, enjoy a meal and a high-quality craft beer.

“If you want something refreshing, a light beer all the way up to heavy barleys, there’s a real broad spectrum,” Gedala said. “Where else can you enjoy authentic Nepalese and Indian food and wash it down with a good craft beer?”

One of three breweries in Arvada, the Yak and Yeti has grown from a restaurant and sleepy brewpub to a thriving brewery serving awardwinning craft brews and fostering an inclusive, flavorful beer community.

“Arvada now has blossomed into three breweries,” Draeger said.

“Three years ago it was just the Yak and Yeti, and nobody even knew that we brew beer, and now we’ve got three breweries and we’re fortunate enough that those other two breweries are doing a really good job of promoting me.”

State Senate control rests with Jeffco voters

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com If the state Senate switches to Republican control next year, Jefferson County will have played an instrumental role.

But whether Republican voters on June 24 helped or hindered their party’s chances of winning two key state Senate races in the fall depends on with whom one speaks.

Republican voters selected the two more conservative candidates in primaries for races in state Senate district’s 19 and 22 – Laura Woods and Tony Sanchez.

Woods will run against Sen. Rachel Zenzinger in a district race that includes Arvada and parts of Westminster. Sanchez takes on Sen. Andy Kerr in a district that covers Lakewood.

Woods and Sanchez’s views on issues are to the right of the political scale of the men who they handily defeated in the primary, Mario Nicolais and Lang Sias.

The Jeffco races will be key in determining which party has control of the Senate, where Democrats have a single vote edge.

But Republican primary voters did not choose wisely in a swing county like Jefferson, says one political analyst.

“It makes it extremely more difficult, bordering on impossible for Republicans to take the state Senate,” said Eric Sondermann, an independent political analyst.

But a key player in conservative politics said that analysts overvalue moderate Republicans.

“I reject the ludicrous notion that moderation is the key to victory,” said Dudley Brown, president of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners. “If that were the case, we would

have President Bob Dole, President John McCain – I shudder at the thought – and President Mitt Romney.”

Woods, who owns a court reporting business, helped gathered petitions to force a recall election against Evie Hudak last year. The former District 19 senator resigned her seat rather than face a recall election, which was spurred by her support of gun control legislation.

Zenzinger – who ran Hudak’s successful re-election campaign in 2012 – was selected by district Democrats to replace Hudak in a district that has an equal party affiliation split.

Woods is pro-life, is against gay marriage and supports school vouchers. She was endorsed by Rocky Mountain Gun Owners in the primary, which sent out mailing pieces that accused her opponent of taking campaign contributions from a “liberal homosexual activist.”

When asked if she will be able to run on a conservative platform and expect to win in this divided district, Woods answered in the affirmative “Voters all across our district — Republican and Democrat alike — know that something is wrong,” Woods said in an emailed response. “Energy prices are going up, healthcare costs are going up, the federal government is interfering more and more in local educational matters, and our ability to make decisions about what is best for ourselves and our families is being taken away. “ Zenzinger congratulated Woods on her victory on June 24 and said that voters will have a clear choice come November.

“I encourage the voters to spend time

examining our merits and decide who has the proven abilities to fill this leadership role,” she said. “I plan to emphasize my record of collaboration and my record of civic accomplishments, which I think will clearly elevate me in the minds of voters.”

But Sondermann doesn’t think Zenzinger has anything to worry about, come the fall.

“I think Rachel Zenzinger went from being a 50-50 shot to being a prohibitive favorite and close to being able to plan a victory party,” Sondermann said. “It’s a swing district. It can go red or blue, but it will not go crazy. This woman they nominated will not appeal to voters.”

Like Woods, Sanchez is pro-life and supports less government and fewer taxes.

Republicans hope that Sanchez – whose family is from Mexico and El Salvador – can appeal to Latino voters in the general election.

“What really made us stand out (in the primary) was we made it really clear where we stood out on a lot of issues,” Sanchez said. “Government needs to get out of our lives. I kept stressing that.”

Sanchez said that he thinks Kerr has vulnerabilities. He is critical of Kerr for being the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit that challenges the constitutionality of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights. He’s also reminding voters of Kerr’s support for last year’s failed Amendment 66, which would have raised taxes to fund education spending.

“It’s those kinds of pocket book issues that people are wanting to hear about right now,” Sanchez said.

Sanchez was also backed by RMGO, which attacked Nicolais’ support of civil

unions in direct mailing pieces. The combination of a no-holds-barred gun group and the possibility of social issues entering the campaign leads Kerr to think that things could get ugly in the fall.

Kerr said that when he ran against Ken Summers in the Senate race four years ago, “everyone I talked to said it was a great campaign that focused on issues, and that it was forthright and respectful.

“I was hopeful we would have another campaign like that, but I’m thinking that won’t be the case this time around,” Kerr said. “I’m disappointed that a small number of extremists have put forward a candidate (like Sanchez).”

Sondermann doesn’t like Sanchez’s chances.

“That was going to be a tough district for Republicans to begin with, now it’s going to be virtually impossible,” he said.

But Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs, thinks candidates like Sanchez and Woods “are more reflective of the values and principles that Coloradans hold and that’s going to be proven in this election.”

“You can label anything you want,” Cadman said when asked if he had any concern that Sanchez and Woods might be too conservative for district voters. “But the reality is the Democratic Party is letting some extreme, out of state liberals lead them away from the people who elected them to govern.

“And the people are paying attention and they are rejecting it.”

Really learning about the birds and bees “Nature’s Nether Regions” by Menno Schilthuizen 2014, Viking $28.95 / $33.00 Canada 245 pages You just got bit.

And bitten again. Every time you go outside, it’s like you’re a walking feast for a zillion biting, whining, creepy-crawling bugs intent on making you dinner. Where the heck did all these insects come from?

Read “Nature’s Nether Regions” by Menno Schilthuizen, and find out. Literally.

Birds do it, said Cole Porter. Bees do it.

Even educated fleas do it. How they do it is the focus of a “new branch of biology” that explains why the sex lives of our fellow creatures — whether they crawl, run, or fly — rival anything you’ve ever seen on reality TV. But first: why have sex at all? Biologists are “still puzzled” about that, but they think mixing DNA has something to do with “outsmarting parasites” and ridding future generations of problematic mutations.

And why just two basic genders, male and female? That still “beg[s] for an explanation,” though some creatures dispense of the whole male-female thing altogether, and reproduce through cloning. For them, it’s more efficient.

Other critters get species-specific, when it comes to reproduction. The size and unique shape of a sex organ, which

“is the only reliable indicator of a species,” may have evolved to keep, for instance, one kind of bumblebee from mating accidentally with another kind of bumblebee.

Then again, some aquatic creatures don’t even bother with using their organs for mating: they cast sperm and eggs, willynilly, in the water and hope that their DNA meets someone special.

But monkeying around isn’t always so bucolic. Certain species of female ducks have evolved with specialized organs that keep them from being raped. Some insects and fish pierce the bodies of their amours to mate, and spider males and mantises famously don’t fare well at all when it comes to romance.

Read this book and you’ll see why eating not-quite-cooked squid is dicey. You’ll find out how your pollen allergies are worse than you ever imagined. You’ll learn how “female preferences” drive evolution. Oh, and size? It matters in the animal kingdom, but not like you think…

Well, now. Here’s something you prob-

Menno Schilthuizen ably have never seriously pondered: the sex lives of bugs. But you will, once you read “Nature’s Nether Regions.”

With the obvious glee of a passionate scientist, author Menno Schilthuizen takes a peek inside the bedrooms of beetles, bats, and bonobos. Here, we learn squirmy things about slimy creatures, nasty things about critters that once seemed cute, and we’re privy to the (sometimes) life-and-death struggle to pass along DNA. Along the way (and though his writing can get hard-core sciency), Schilthuizen does a fine job at entertaining while teaching – so much so that readers who’ve finished this book could surely be forgiven for

“Nature’s Nether Regions” by Menno Schilthuizen becoming armchair entomologists.

This book proves that the old slapand-tickle is much more interesting than slapping a bug dead. It truly shares more about the birds and the bees than you ever thought possible – and if that sounds like fun to you, then “Nature’s Nether Regions” is a book of which you’ll love every bit.

Happiness requires seeking new challenges People who are happy seem to understand that happiness is not just about doing things you like, or doing what you’re good at, or doing things that give you pleasure. True happiness sometimes requires us to grow, to stretch our limits, to try new things, to seek out new adventures, and to be open to new self-identities and self-expressions.

You will not find happiness by engaging in more things that give you pleasure.

The next movie you watch, the next dessert you eat and the next game your team wins is likely to provide you the most temporary of feel-good moments — and they will evaporate quickly.

The following is a list of the behaviors and attitudes that are more likely to give you an opportunity of finding an overall sense of happiness, contentment and peace of mind that are more likely to last: How successful do your close relationships feel to you? Are you able to let other people in so you can feel vitally attached and engaged with them? Are your responses more pro-relationship (empathy, compassion, sharing, employing conflict-reducing and repair-oriented communication) or anti-relationship (temper outbursts, mistrust, defensiveness, self-righteousness, vindictiveness)?

A successful relationship inspires you to both give and receive love.

Looking at the totality of your life, what are you most proud of? Create as extensive a list as you can on this question. Overall, are you on your own side? Are you friendly to yourself? Does your inner self-talk build you up more, or tear you down? Do you like yourself? Trust yourself? Accept yourself? Believe in yourself?

The measure of having good relationships with other people is whether you have an accepting and trusting relationship with yourself. Are you engaged in work that you find meaningful, and that uses your talents and abilities? Finding meaning and value in our day-to-day activities will give us a feeling of mastery and accomplishment — and our activities will not feel like work. They will feel like self-fulfillment.

do you express yourself creatively? Do you have an outlet for your own creative expression?

Value new experiences over comfortable ones, at least occasionally. Be willing to sometimes be uncomfortable in order to stretch your identity and give yourself an opportunity to engage in new experiences, adventures and challenges. When something bad happens to you, you must be able to regulate your feelings so that negative events do not define you. What if you knew that your life was going to work out even if your children did not do well in school or your investments wind up losing money? Successfully being able to handle difficult challenges, as well as loss, hardship and adversity, says a lot about how resilient you are, and how quickly you can bounce back from disappointments.

SPORTS World Cup Knockout round breakdown

Westminster Window 25

July 3, 2014

Who has the goods to win the world’s best tournament?

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com If you are caught up in the World Cup you’re not alone.

While soccer in the United States usually ranks somewhere between Nascar and Frisbee golf, America has joined the rest of the world and has become soccer crazy.

But Team USA is hardly a favorite in this tournament. Actually, of the 16 teams who advanced to the Knockout Round America has the longest shot odds-wise to go on and win the World Cup (the US is 100-1 to win the World Cup).

So while the US is the ultimate Cinderella story with little shot to actually win the World Cup, we wanted to give you a breakdown of who from the remaining 16 teams can actually go on and make history.

The Heavyweights: Brazil (3-1) is the obvious favorite to win this tournament and they have been so from day one. Not only are they the host country and the winningest World Cup team of all-time, but they also have Neymar playing at a very high level and he has been the tournament’s best player to date.

People are coming together all over the country to watch their favorite countries (or second favorite after USA) compete in the World Cup for what is perhaps the world’s grandest sports achievement. Photo by Dan Williams Germany (4-1) is a powerhouse — big, physical and strong — and has as good of a shot to win this tournament as anyone left in the field. Although they didn’t overwhelm Team USA and Ghana in group play they still very easily won the group and look like they are gaining steam. But the Germans have not won the World Cup since 1990.

Argentina (4-1) may not have the same expectations as Brazil and Germany in this World Cup but they do have the world’s best player on

their roster. And when Lionel Messi gets going he is literally unstoppable. Messi has his legacy on the line in this World Cup and I wouldn’t bet against him.

The Middleweights: Netherlands (7-1) has a reputation as being a second-tier elite team but their play over the last couple World Cups would say that they are in fact an elite group. They were perhaps the best overall team in group play and they were runner up to Spain in the 2010 World Cup. This team in underrated.

France (8-1) is maybe the best remaining team that no one is talking about. They have the reputation as a world power but they don’t have as many special players as they have had in years past.

However, these no-name Frenchman could quickly become famous with another deep World Cup run (France won it all in 1998 and then lost in a shootout in 2006).

Belgium (20-1) has never finished better than fourth in the World Cup but this could be their best national team ever. And while

Americans were happy to draw Belgium instead of Brazil, Germany or Argentina, beating Belgium might be just as tough. With 20-1 odds Belgium might be a team worth throwing a few bucks behind.

The Dark Horses: Columbia (25-1) has had some good teams in the past but has never advanced past the quarterfinals.

And while it may be a stretch to consider Columbia a team who can win the tournament, it’s certainly not a stretch to think this team is good enough to upset a couple higher ranked teams. Moreover, Columbia has the best goal dances of any team in the world (look them up).

Costa Rica (50-1) has some magic in their cleats this World Cup. While they had only one Knockout Round win in their country’s history, they have put together the tournament’s best resume to date.

They beat Uruguay and Italy, before drawing with England. They then beat Greece to advance to the elite eight. Watch out for these guys.

Switzerland (80-1) is not getting much love internationally but crazier things have happened in World Cup play. They have actually made it to the quarterfinals three times in their history, the only problem is that the last time they did it was 1954. Switzerland is a true long shot but has shown that they can compete with some of the top teams in the world.

A guide to the best hikes of the summer

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com Take a hike.

No, really. Colorado is known for a lot of different things and one of those is it has some of the best hiking trails in the country.

Right in our own backyards — literally for some — are some of the best hiking opportunities that are just a handful of minutes from the heart of Denver.

It wasn’t easy, and we are definitely tired, but we trekked through a handful of trails and compiled a list of just some hiking adventures that you and your family can enjoy on a perfect summer day.

Hiking is the triple-threat; it works out your body, you can do it with friend and family, and it is totally free (minus a couple bucks in gas).

If you do it safe, and you do need to always be safe and prepared before your hike, it can be fun and very rewarding once you reach your destination.

But before we give you our list of local trails here is your day hiking checklist:

-Map and/or compass -Sunscreen -Proper attire; vest, jacket, gloves, pants and a hat -Water AND at least one day worth of food -Matches/lighter, as well as a flashlight -Pocket knife -First aid kit -Cell phone for emergency -And let a friend or family member know your hiking destination/plans And now that you are prepared for your hike we have prepared a list of trails that are NOT two hour drives, but instead a list of local hiking trails that are mere 20 minutes away in some cases.

Here is our list: Mount Falcon — Called a “14er training ground” by many, Mount Falcon is an awesome day hiking destination and it is just minutes from downtown Morrison. The area features several trails that can be tied together creating a 3.7 mile journey that features a lookout point that gives you arguably the best view of Denver and Red Rocks that can be found anywhere. Very family friendly and if you pack a lunch there are perfect rest stops

to stop and relax.

Red Rocks - Speaking of Red Rocks, everyone has been to a concert at the historic venue but few people think of the park when considering their hiking options. Red Rocks is the perfect day hiking destination for locals to bring their out-of-town guests to impress them as you follow Trading Post Trail around the park and around 10 enormous Red Rock formations. You can complete the trail in just over one hour — and maybe stick around to see Big Head Todd & the Monsters.

Mount Galbraith - A lesser-known hiking option, Mount Galbraith, is located just a quick drive up Golden Gate Canyon. Cedar Gulch Trail and Nightbird Gulch Trail are the two trailheads that make up The Mount Galbraith Loop. About four miles in length, your trip will feature ridiculous views of Denver and Golden. The elevation change makes this one a little more challenging but it’s still family friendly.

Maxwell Falls - This Evergreen destination is popular for all the right reasons. Evergreen has a charm all its own, but Maxwell Falls offered a variety of different terrain, as well as a one mile, three mile and four mile

hiking option. But all roads lead to a beautiful cascading waterfall which is well worth even the four mile journey. Bring family and friends, and maybe your fishing pole too.

Chatauqua Park - This Boulder locale is an underrated day hiking experience. Take Chatauqua Trail which will lead you to three different Flatiron trails which will all provide you with views of Flatirons that Ansel Adams would be jealous of. The park is super-family friendly but that also means it could be crowded during the weekend. Boulder has many hiking options but give Chatauqua a chance.

Castlewood Canyon State Park - For those headed east instead of west but still want a day hiking experience Castlewood Canyon is an ideal fit. You can make your like as long or as short as you choose depending on what side of the park you park on, but the reward is a magnificent waterfall that is just outside the metro area. The next closest Denver waterfall is at Casa Bonita, so plan accordingly and bring your camera too.

Getting worse before they can get better The Denver Nuggets just don’t get it.

During the NBA Draft June 26 and leading up to the draft the Nuggets were one of the most active teams making several trades.

So should we raise our expectations for the 2014-2015 Nuggets? Personally, I wouldn’t raise Denver’s expectations for the next 20142024 seasons.

While I can appreciate Denver general manager Tim Connelly’s wheeling-and-dealing mentality the Nuggets are going nowhere without a true superstar of their own.

But getting a NBA superstar on your roster is definitely easier said than done. There are about eight-to-12 superstars in the NBA and 30 teams, and even if the Nuggets were willing to pony up a blank check, that still wouldn’t lure a superstar free agent to Denver.

Over the last 30 years of the NBA only eight different teams have won NBA Championships. That list is filled with Lakers titles, Celtics titles, Bulls titles and Heat titles, meaning cities like Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago and Miami are clearly where top NBA talent chooses to reside.

Moreover, the Nuggets are definitely not

the Denver Broncos. Tim Connelly is hardly John Elway, an established icon of his own running a proven championship product that is respected around the entire league.

Because of the Broncos’ rich tradition, Denver is a coveted destination for NFL free agents and the team can literally land any player they want because of their credentials.

The Nuggets on the other hand have no history besides owning a few of the worst records in NBA history and have a long list of draft flops.

The Nuggets cannot go out and land topflight free agents because NBA players don’t see Denver as a winning destination and why

would you go to Denver if Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago or Miami covet you?

The biggest fish the Nuggets have ever landed in free agency was Kenyon Martin, who received a max contract from Denver during the 2003-2004 season. The only problem was the fact that the Nuggets had to pull the entire deal off in a sign and trade in which they had to give up three future first round picks.

Because of that Denver was never really ever able to add enough pieces to get over the hump and in the end Martin’s big contract and under-production held the Nuggets back.

Even the one time the Nuggets “won” in free agency, they were actually big losers in the big picture.

So if Denver wants to get really good, they are going to have to get really bad first. While no NBA superstar free agent has ever picked Denver as a landing spot you can certainly still acquire a superstar talent with a little luck and a lot of losses by drafting one.

While the Spurs are again NBA champions and perhaps the model franchise in all pro-

fessional sports the Nuggets need to use the Oklahoma City model as they plan to rebuild.

The Thunder had to be really bad for a long time before they became really good.

But as bottom feeders they positioned themselves for top picks. And starting in 2007, because they were so bad the year before, OKC landed Kevin Durant with the No. 2 overall pick.

The following year they drafted Russell Westbrook at No. 4 overall and one year after Westbrook the Thunder drafted James Harden No. 3 overall. OKC went from the league’s worst team to having a team with three of the top 12 players in the NBA on their roster.

The Thunder had to get really, really bad before they got really good and the Nuggets finishing around .500 and trying to add on to a team that will never be destined to compete for a NBA championship is a waste of time.

The Nuggets need a full-on demolition followed up by a true rebuild. Fans are willing to accept being bad for several years if there is a legitimate plan for getting good. So let’s root for the Nuggets next season — to be big losers.

Drag racing duos Two couples make Bandimere a family affair

By Scott Stocker When it comes to car racing, what better way is there to spend a summer weekend than at the track?

It’s the drag strips that have become special venues for John Muhr and his wife, Cheryl, and Jeff Andreen and his wife Sherry. And it’s almost like home for the two families at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison.

On both sides of the Muhr and Andreen families, the husbands have been involved in racing for much of their lives. As for the women, they’ve mostly become active on the track itself within the last dozen years.

John Muhr, 46, drives a 1978 Malibu while Cheryl, 45, is quite happy in her 1967 Impala.

John graduated from Mullen High School and from Fort Lewis College with his degree in Communication. Cheryl graduated from Davis University in California, also with a degree in Communication and Graphic Arts.

John has been racing for 29 years. He has won several events over the years and has several top 10 finishes. Yet he has yet to win a season title over the years. He has won the Brackett Nationals and won a Chevy Cup race in 2012 at Bandimere.

“Why am I doing this,” Muhr said. “It’s the rewards, the friendships and, of course, the competition. I don’t begrudge working under the car. There are some downsides and that’s hard to say. But, we are blessed.

“Tim Schuster gave me a ride in his Chevy Nova,” continued Muhr. “Up until then, I had no real interest in car racing. Two weeks later I got into a race and I’ve always owned a Nova.”

Muhr admits there is always a calculated risk in all things cars can do and he is quick to note that anything can happen out on the track.

“It has been extremely rewarding for the amount of work you put in,” Muhr said. “The travel here never surmounts what we have at

work. Bandimere is the best facility we have ever stepped upon and the greatest class I’ve done. The risks fade, but you never know when things can happen.

“There are droughts in driving,” continued Muhr. “You can go out and lose several times in a row and every racer has to face that. As for our age, there are a lot of young drivers who are good out there. It’s loose and go home. Getting drilled out here on the track is part of the furniture. ” John and Cheryl have fun with names on the cars and their thoughts.

“My car is called ‘Disorganized Grim’ and the only plan is there is no plan,” Muhr said.

“It’s rewarding when we win or place high, so really, we don’t have a lot of complaints about our sport or how we have handled it as a family.”

And, there is little doubt that Cheryl is into the sport as well.

“You can’t cut the lawn or do the laundry at home and enjoy it like coming to race,” Cheryl said. “The camaraderie of all the drivers makes it seem like a vacation. It’s family here at the track all the way. You do your burn outs and turn outs and we don’t care who we race.

“If we knew who was going to win all the time we wouldn’t race, no one would,” Cheryl continued. “If we’re not doing well, we have friends who are doing well, and that’s what makes it nice to know. We’re honored, too, in that we won the Superman Award in 2013 and we were tongue tied.”

The Andreen’s, who reside in Westminster, are a super example of age doesn’t seem to make that much of a difference in drag racing as Jeff is 71, and Sherry is 67. Jeff is at home in his 1996 Mercury, Sherry in her 1929 Ford Tudor competing in the Flathead Division.

“I married Jeff and he always was into racing,” Sherry said. “We love Flatheads. He has been racing just about his whole life, certainly since he got his driver’s license. At first, it seemed he never would let me touch his race car. But one day, he signed me up for a race. I just couldn’t sit and watch.

“I took first place in my first race 12 years

John Muhr has been racing for 29 years. He has won several events over the years, including the Brackett Nationals and a 2012 Chevy Cup race at Bandimere. Courtesy photo ago and it really shocked me,” Sherry said with a chuckle. “I was the only women in the club and that made me feel kind of weird.

We’ve retired and in the summer we race for fun. It’s just great fun and rewarding to go down to the track and this is certainly a great group of people to be around. We really enjoy the camaraderie.”

As for a summer venture, Jeff said it couldn’t be more nice and enjoyable.

“We’ve been together racing since 1996,” Jeff said. “Our group, the Flatheads, is an old style and we like to be out there for fun. I don’t think we take it quite as serious as others. It’s family. I won Flathead Inline four times over the years and Sherry was third last year.

“We used to do a lot more traveling, but it was expensive and we stay around Bandimere a lot more now,” said Jeff. “It’s great to be around the other drivers and we’ve always found it to be worth our efforts.”

BOB HARR WINS IN FORT MORGAN Bob Harr won the Rocky Mountain Midget Racing Association “A” Feature last Saturday night at I-76 Speedway in Fort Morgan.

Rookie Midget driver Brad Hilton has set the pace for the field of cars to start the 16-lap A Feature. Scott Fennell took the charge at the start, but after one lap, Harr passed Fennell for the lead going into turn 4. Keith Rauch, starting in the fifth row inside, charged through the field and after two laps was challenging Harr for the lead.

Harr and Rauch were in their own world and were battling for the lead, which left the rest of the field challenging for positions. On the last lap going for the checker flag, Rauch tried to pass Harr one final time. But at the finish line, it was Harr, Rauch, Tony Rossi, Fennell and Greg Schaefer rounding out the top five positions.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) new information might warrant changing your mind about a recently made decision. never mind the temporary confusion it might cause. Acting on the truth is always preferable.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Creating a loving atmosphere for those you care for could pay off in many ways. Expect to hear some unexpected but very welcome news that can make a big difference in your life.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Stepping away from an old and seemingly insoluble problem might be helpful. use the time to take a new look at the situation and perhaps work out a new method of dealing with it.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You’re still in a favorable goalsetting mode. However, you might need to be a little more realistic about some of your aims. Best to reach for what is currently doable. The rest will follow.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A setback is never easy to deal with. But it could be a boon in disguise. Recheck your proposal, and strengthen the weak spots.

Seek advice from someone who has “been there and done that.”

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Coming up with a new way of handling a tedious job-regulated chore could lead to more than just a congratulatory memo once the word reaches the “right people.” Good luck.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to nov 21) What you might call determination someone else might regard as stubbornness. Look for ways to reach a compromise that won’t require a major shift of views on your part.

SAGITTARIUS (nov 22 to Dec 21) You’re still in a vulnerable mode vis-a-vis “offers” that sound too good to be true. So continue to be skeptical about anything that can’t be backed up with provable facts.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Thrift is still dominant this week. What you don’t spend on what you don’t need will be available for you to draw on should a possible (albeit temporary) money crunch hit.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Staying close to home early in the week allows for some introspection about your social life. Sort out your feelings before rejoining your fun-time fellows on the weekend.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) It can be a bit daunting as well as exciting to find yourself finally taking action on a long-delayed move for a change. It helps to stay with it when others rally to support you.
