Fruitful fun at Westminster Farmers Market

The Westminster Farmers Market is up and running at 88th Avenue and Sheridan, just east of J.C. Penney on the site of the former Westminster Mall. The market runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday through September. The market features a variety of Colorado, locally grown produce, meat, eggs, poultry and more. There is also a variety of local food artisans selling breads, honey, nuts, dips, jams, sauces, candies, tamales, granola and popcorn. Food trucks are also on site selling breakfast and lunch items. For those who like to think ahead, residents can also order their items online at http:// localradius.net and then pick up their items during the Saturday market. Photos by Ashley Reimers

Westminster Police Department and The Lassy Project have partnered to create even more security and safety for children of Westminster.

Officers recently underwent training with The Lassy Project team teaching them how to best utilize The Lassy Project, a free smartphone app that helps prevent child abductions.

The app was created after the abduction and murder of Jessica Ridgeway in October 2012. The app immediately alerts parents via text message if their child deviates from their usual routes to places like school, the park or a friend’s house using a patented combination of GPS, SMS and crowd-sourcing technology.

If a child goes missing, in just seconds the parent has the ability to press a button and mobilize neighbors, friends, family and community members to help in the search.

tragedy and sought a possible solution to reduce the probability of such events occurring in the future. The best news is that this product is being offered at no charge to anyone and everyone who wants to use it.”

Vanessa DeMott is a Lassy Project ambassador and a user of the app. She uses it regularly to keep track of when her children leave and arrive common places. As an ambassador she says she’s also able to honor Jessica Ridgeway and she hopes other families take advantage of the program.

“Parents need to engage in talks with their children. Let them know we want to give them their childhood, but we can protect them,” she said. “Once you and your child have that dialogue in your home about ‘strangers’ and untested adults you are empowering them and making them better citizens.”

“Getting a message out in seconds to hundreds of individuals right near the area could make the difference between finding the child and not finding the child,” said John Guydon, co-founder of The Lassy Project. “We are honored to be supported by the Westminster Police Department and look forward to working with them to grow the Lassy Village in their community. The bigger the village, the safer the kids.

We are grateful that Westminster embraces this vision for their community.”

Westminster Police Chief Lee Birk said the app provides an opportunity for the community to be quickly alerted and to become key players in the helping to locate the missing child. The app also promises to be an additional tool, capitalizing on new technology to help prevent abductions and also find missing children more efficiently and quickly, he added.

“This project grew out of the Jessica Ridgeway abduction, which occurred here in our own Westminster community,” Birk said. “The co-founders were moved and touched by that

Today, 19-year-old Shannon Maureen Conley, of Arvada, sits in federal custody in a Colorado county jail, facing up to 5 years in a federal prison and up to $250,000 in fines.

Charged with conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, Conley, who was arrested in April, is under suspicion for working with foreign terrorist organization, al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS).

Law enforcement officials kept

the criminal complaint sealed until July 2 due to an ongoing investigation.

According to Jeff Dorschner, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Colorado, Conley will be prosecuted in a federal court in downtown Denver.

No trial date, Conley court appearance or status conference has been scheduled to date, but one is expected in August.

According to court documents, Conley, who held Islamic beliefs, had openly talked about waging jihad in the Middle East with FBI agents, who had been investigating the case for eight months prior to the arrest.

“The fear was she was going to

violate the law, which is providing support to a foreign terrorist organization, by going there and supporting ISIS efforts; that’s in violation of the law,” Dorschner said.

Conley had been attending Faith Bible Chapel in Arvada for two months prior to the start of the investigation. FBI Agents were alerted to the case when a criminal report, which referenced Conley documenting the layout of the campus, was filed by the church’s pastor and security director in early November according to court documents.

“We asked her not to come back because she was obviously not partaking in the faith, and she agreed,” Faith Bible Pastor George Morrison said.

Following the initial report, Conley was interviewed by an Arvada Police detective and a Special Deputy U.S. Marshall, regarding

her activities and experiences at Faith Bible, and her beliefs about Jihad, and the harming innocent people through Jihad.

During the conversation she recognized the religious struggles associated with Jihad, but believed it was war to protect Muslim lands, and cited U.S. military bases as targets.

Over the next five months FBI agents attempted to dissuade Conley from taking action on her plans, trying to persuade her to join humanitarian efforts, such as the Red Crescent, before making the final arrest.

Conley, a former Arvada West High School student, dropped out to obtain her General Education Diploma (GED) and was a Certified Nursing Assistant (CAN) in the State of Colorado.

Bearing witness, on the birthday of Eva Levine Last week, July 6, was Eva Levine’s birthday … July 6, 1916, to be exact, and I am writing here to commemorate this day. She was the second daughter of five children born to Jewish parents in Lodz, Poland. Her father dealt in real estate, and the family owned the building in which they lived. Eva finished high school and studied history at a local university.

I know this because I was given Eva’s Identification Card when I visited the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., recently. Actually, I selected Eva’s card at random from a bin of such ID cards for females – women and children – who were victims of the ghettos, deportations, concentration camps, and, for so many, the mass murders in the killing fields and gas chambers of the Holocaust.

I too am a student of history, and I’ve read extensively about the World War II regions in Europe where my father served, and those in the Pacific where my mother was stationed. And – as painful as it is – I

want to know as much about the Holocaust as possible. Because such a thing must never happen again.

Eva was 2-and-a-half years old when my mother was born in Chicago, a firstgeneration American whose parents emigrated to the U.S. from Romania around the turn of the century. Just 20-some years later, my Romanian-American mother would serve with the Allies to help liberate families such as Eva’s who had become trapped in their homelands.

In Poland, Ava married her boyfriend Herman in 1939; then the Germans

invaded. One day the Gestapo banged on their door and slapped Eva’s father-in-law around. They demanded the family’s valuables, which had already been looted, and Eva herself confronted the officers.

In 1941, Eva and Herman were tossed into the ghetto of Piotrkow Trybunalski after they arrived there looking for food.

Eva’s family was deported there as well, and she worked with her mother and sisters for three years in the ghetto. In 1944 all the women were deported to Ravensbreuk, a concentration camp in Germany.

Eva’s health deteriorated, and the by the time she was evacuated with the other prisoners to Bergen-Belsen ahead of the Allied advance, she had lost most of the tissue in her spine. Eva’s mother, Machla Spicehandler Braun, became so weakened by starvation and disease that she lay dying in Bergen-Belsen on the floor of her filthy barrack.

Two days before the British liberated the camp in April 1945, Machla died at Bergen-Belsen. Eva’s father, Yakob, had

been deported to Buchenwald in 1944 and then to Bergen-Belsen, where he died without ever making contact his family.

Eva was liberated by the British and she moved to the United States in 1950. The Holocaust Museum has no record of what happened to Herman Levine, and I know nothing more of Eva. Eva’s story lives on with me, however, because I received her ID card #2633. This July 6 was the first of her birthdays that I will commemorate by bearing witness for both the dead and the living, and — as a member of the human race — working to confront hatred, prevent genocide, and promote human dignity. Because such a thing must never happen again.

New segment scheduled for completion by next summer Adams County will use a $600,000 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado’s Paths to Parks program to construct a new segment of the South Platte River Trail between 104th and 120th avenues.

A two-mile gap in the South Platte River Trail through Adams County presently forces users onto the narrow shoulders of 104th and Brighton Road, with speed limits of 50 and 45 mph respectively — a dangerous route that discourages families and youth from using the entire trail.

“As Adams County continues to grow, it is vitally important that we preserve the county’s quality of life for our citizens by providing safe, convenient access to open spaces,” said Shannon McDowell, acting director of Parks and Community Resources for Adams County. “Thanks to Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO), the improvements to this portion of the South Platte River Trail will enable residents and visitors alike to enjoy the scenery without having to worry about inattentive drivers or other trafficrelated hazards.”

Adams County’s Parks and Open Space Department plans to install a 250-foot prefabricated metal pedestrian bridge over the South Platte River; a 70-foot prefabricated metal pedestrian bridge over the Bull Seep Creek drainage; and 1.7 miles of 10-foot-wide, concrete multi-use trail. Adams County will also construct two crushed-rock spur trails totaling threequarters of a mile. The total cost of the project is $1.8 million; in addition to the $600,000 grant from GOCO, funding includes nearly $1.05 million from Adams County’s voter-ap-

Courtesy image proved Open Space Sales Tax and $150,000 from the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District.

When completed next summer, the South Platte River Trail project will connect numerous parks and open spaces, including the 160-acre Elaine T. Valente Open Space and the 1,150-acre Adams County Regional Park. The project will also provide connections to regional trails such as Clear Creek, Niver Creek, and Sand Creek.

Adams County government was one of six recipients of a Paths to Parks grant. The Great Outdoors Colorado Board also approved similar projects in Aurora, Brighton, Fort Collins, Golden, and Salida at a total cost of $4 million.

GOCO invests a portion of Colorado Lottery proceeds to help preserve and enhance the state’s parks, trails, wildlife, rivers and open spaces. GOCO’s independent board awards competitive grants to local

governments and land trusts, and makes investments through Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Created by voters in 1992, GOCO has funded more than 3,500 projects in all 64 counties without any tax dollar support. Colorado Lottery revenues are divided between GOCO, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Conservation Trust Fund and school construction.

Dave Ward with his wife Natalie during their trip to Washington D.C. in June. Dave was one of 100 Coloradans to attend the Colorado Capital Conference hosted by Senator Mark Udall, Colorado Mesa University and the University of Colorado. Courtesy photo

When Dave Ward decided to apply for the 2104 Colorado Capital Conference in Washington D.C., he really had no expectations. He just applied on a whim, thinking maybe he’d have a shot, since he always seems to be the guy who never wins anything.

After he was chosen, the Westminster resident admits he was quite surprised.

Ward figured it would be a great opportunity for a vacation with his wife. But what started as a vacation, turned into a lifechanging experience for Ward.

The Colorado Capital Conference, June 17-19, was hosted by Senator Mark Udall, Colorado Mesa University and the University of Colorado. The non-partisan conference is designed to give 100 Colorado residents from all over the state insight into the federal legislative process by providing them an opportunity to hear directly from members of Congress, the president’s cabinet and other leaders in Washington D.C. The conference is packed with programs lead by a variety of people and allows for ample question and answer sessions.

“This conference is an excellent opportunity for Coloradans across the Centennial State to hear directly from decision makers in Washington and get a close-up view of the legislative process,” Udall said.

“This unique forum helped participants sharpen some of the knowledge and skills needed to join the larger conversation on public policy, while interacting with other civic-minded Coloradans and national policy makers.”

Ward was highly impressed by the overall conference. He said it was well organized and kept to the nonpartisan theme. He was amazed by the amount of time attendees were allotted to ask direct

questions to all the speakers and was even more amazed by the honest answers given in return.

“The conference was really refreshing because it wasn’t all about politics,” Ward said. “It focused on what is happening at the capital and what people are doing at the capital. And what was cool was you could ask questions of these people who are pretty powerful Americans and instead of hearing what their handlers come up with, you got to hear directly from them and learn about their experiences and what they bring to the table.”

During the conference Ward also participated in a Budget Hero exercise with his fellow Coloradans where he learned how to balance the federal budget. He quickly realized the difficulty of compromise while discussing his wants and needs with differing opinions. But overall the exercise gave him a look into what those at the capital are dealing with every year.

Coming into the conference, Ward admits he really had no agenda. But by the end, his view on politics was altered to one of more energized.

“What I’m going to take away from this is that it’s made me want to get more involved in the political process at the national level and the local level,” he said. “It kind of revved my engine into becoming more aware of what’s going on and the importance of paying a little more attention to the candidates.

War’s also decided not to watch any television political ads this election season, opting for one-on-one contact with candidates instead.

“I may have to quite watching television all together,” he said. “I also know that some things do get done in Washington, it may just be hosting state residents.”

Tests should pack more punch It occurs to me that, since the first major education reforms I talked about was to make four non-tested areas of the curriculum more important, some might conclude that I am an opponent of testing.

I’m not. I’ve been tested my whole life, and I kinda like testing (I’m sick that way).

One thing I learned from martial arts is that the only way to discover your weaknesses is to test yourself—failure brings self-awareness, self-awareness brings strength. Testing is good.

But more than just testing, I prefer authentic, meaningful testing. Getting kicked in the head is authentic and meaningful. Painful, too ... and a little embarrassing.

Students in the schools these days don’t take all that many meaningful tests. I think of the “Harry Potter” stories, where students at the end of their fifth years take the “Ordinary Wizarding Levels” test, which dictates the number of and kinds of choices the students get to pursue in their sixth and seventh years.

That’s meaningful! In fact, many countries around the world use something similar — England (real England, not Harry Potter England) has frequent standardized testing which determines which students get to proceed through the education system; China has an intense testing regime which students will take years preparing for; and Finland, the latest “newest, best thing” in the education world, has almost no standardized testing, with the notable exception of the national matriculation exam, which students must pass in order to pass out of high school and proceed to college.

Here in Jefferson County, we had the CSAP… or the TCAP … now we have the PARCC. Every student from third grade on takes it once a year, in the past, it’s occupied weeks worth of classroom time, and it means ... nothing. We call it “high-stakes testing,” but it isn’t: It has almost zero bearing on student matriculation, but, boy, do the schools and teachers get worked up about it. And then, on top of that, there are about 17 other standardized tests that students take, starting in kindergarten and going all the way through until they finally encounter the one meaningful test in all of it — the ACT, which controls many aspects of college choices. Lots of testing, lots of money for testing corporations, lots of stress, some useful information for teachers, very little either authentic or meaningful for students.

Can we, possibly, do something better?

What if we gave one — ONE — test at the end of each term, assessing what the students were supposed to learn that term? And if the student fails, then they get to repeat the term.

Mon Dieu! I know, it’s crazy, right? Actually holding students accountable for their own

learning? Madness!

Obviously, then, if the same teacher or the same school is consistently way out of the norms for their setting, then we can identify problems and work toward solutions. But it’s lunacy to give tests that are all-important to the employees and politicians but are completely meaningless to the students. Y’know, the ones actually taking the tests.

And it seems to me that, if we can administer the ACT in one morning each spring, we should be able to give a term test in one day. Heck, I’d even go so far as to say that the school district itself should be responsible for designing the tests, catered to their particular population.

How do assure standards across the board? By making the test at the end of the 10th year, the one that decides whether students continue on a college-bound path or whether we guide them more toward trades and service for the last two years. Maybe it’s the ACT, maybe it’s something else — but it has to matter. Might as well steal good ideas from the people at the front of the line, right?

The point is that I think we need to reevaluate why we give so many tests and what purpose they serve. And, if we can establish a purpose for the test, then maybe we can get a better grip on the purpose of the whole exercise of public education.

“I think a pause button would be more useful. I think a rewind button gives you a chance to redo things but those are the experiences that make you who you are. I guess the pause button might be nice in certain situations where it’s nice to organize your thoughts and do a more detailed response instead of being under pressure all the time.”

Shawn R, Minnesota

“I would use the pause button because I’m in a good moment of my life, personal and work, so I feel very happy now.”

Elenia Colilla, Madrid, Spain

“I would choose the pause button because of the same reasons as Elenia. She convinced me.”

David Sanchezed, Madrid, Spain

“Probably a pause. I like my life the way it is. I kind of think sometimes if we slow down a little bit we can smell the roses a little bit better. Just take some time to appreciate what is there for us.”

Wende Bach, Houston, Texas

Hobby Lobby decision opens door As the U.S. Supreme Court finished its docket before taking the summer off, its decision on religious beliefs of closely held companies trumping Obamacare’s mandate to providing free contraception measures for women certainly made the headlines. On a 5-4 vote, a sharply divided court rendered its decision allowing companies who objected to paying for contraceptive measures on religious grounds to opt out of such a mandate. On the surface, it would appear that the highest court of the land opened “Pandora’s Box” beyond Obamacare.

A legal precedent A key consideration in the landmark decision is that this is the first time that the Supreme Court has declared businesses can hold religious views under federal law. While the decision offered ways in which the Obama Administration can ensure women get the birth control they want, the “bigger picture” aspect would seem to allow eligible closely held companies the opening to object to a plethora of other non-Obamacare related issues using

the religious beliefs’ objection. Where this consideration may go obviously remains to be seen, but don’t be surprised if corporations jump on this opportunity to claim various exceptions under the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

More than 80 percent are ‘closely held’ companies While the term “close held corporations” might imply a small number of companies with a relative small number of employees which potentially use this “out” to other federal laws and mandates, in reality, it represents a large number of U.S. companies and employees. According to

constitutional law scholar Marci Hamilton of Yeshiva University, more than 80 percent of U.S. corporations are closely held and they could “now be able to discriminate against their employees.”

It is important to note that over 30 million women receive birth control as a result of the health law. While the Obama Administration indicated that the decision creates health risks for women and then stated, “Today’s decision jeopardizes the health of the women who are employed by these companies,” it would seem that such statements are simply politicized.

Both the high court and benefits experts indicate that there are options to resolve the impact of the court’s decision relating to birth control.

Sharpen up those questions Now that the Colorado Primary Election is behind us and the campaign races are in full swing for the November election, it is a good time to pin down the candidates on a variety of issues. We all should do our homework on the candidates and in particular find out their

stance on those issues which are “near and dear” to you.

Let’s start with Jefferson County expanding to five Commissioners. Since the petition drive fell short of putting this proposal on the ballot for 2014, the Board of Commissioners could place it on the ballot in 2015. Then we have the Adams County Sheriff’s race. Where do the two candidates stand on removing the municipal prisoner cap of 30 prisoners at the Adams County Jail? It is past due to eliminate this and have the Sheriff use already appropriated funds to staff another jail pod. Of course, we should ask Mark Udall and Cory Gardner a bunch of key questions, but I will save that topic for a future column. How about county home rule for Adams County? This is a subject that could come up over the next 2 years, so let’s ask all of the candidates who are seeking election including incumbent Erik Hanson.

We will point out other salient questions which you might wish to ask candidates as the campaign season “ripens.”

Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

Immigration deadlock is political failure In the current combative, partisan environment in Washington, compromise and cooperation are rare occurrences.

That is even more evident following House Speaker John Boehner’s recent announcement that the House of Representatives will not act on immigration reform this year.

On June 27, 2013, more than a year ago, the Senate passed a bipartisan bill to fix our broken immigration system. We wrote the bill as a part of the Group of 8, which included Republican Sens. Marco Rubio, John McCain, Jeff Flake, and Lindsey Graham. It also included Democratic Sens.

Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin and Robert Menendez. The bill passed the Senate with nearly 70 votes.

We put politics aside in order to produce this commonsense bill. It has the support of countless organizations — from the Chamber of Commerce to the labor unions, from migrant workers to farmers and ranchers, from law enforcement agencies to the faith community, and Latino leaders.

The bill would strengthen our economy, secure our borders, reform guest worker programs, establish a rational system for the future flow of immigrants, and provide a tough but fair path to citizenship for the millions of people living in the shadows. Specifically, the border security provisions include unprecedented measures to double the number of border agents, complete 700 miles of fencing, and utilize new technology to provide 100 percent surveillance. The new guest-worker

program would increase the number of visas for workers specializing in high-tech industries and streamline the H-2A visa system for agriculture workers.

According to a report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, it would also decrease the deficit by $197 billion in the first 10 years and by $700 billion over the following decade. It would increase the nation’s GDP by 3.3 percent by 2023 and by up to 5.7 percent by 2033.

Perhaps most importantly, this bill was largely crafted with the help of Coloradans from every region, industry, and background. We spoke with farmers on the Western Slope and Eastern Plains who are forced to watch their crops wither and die on the vine because they can’t hire the workers they need to harvest them.

We met with the members of the state’s ski resorts and tourist industries who are struggling with an unworkable visa system for seasonal workers. The state’s rapidly growing reputation as a hub for high-tech innovation is continuously threatened as we watch our best and brightest — educated in our schools — sent back to their

native countries to compete against us. We have also heard from thousands of young DREAMers, many of whom were brought here without their knowledge and know no other country but the United States.

The success of the Group of 8 is proof that compromise and cooperation are possible — even for this Congress. Unfortunately, the House of Representatives does not seem to understand the critical need to fix our broken immigration system. The House’s refusal to act has already cost us $13 billion in revenue the bill would have brought. And we will continue losing another $37 million more every day.

The House’s decision also costs us jobs.

The Invest Visa alone would create 75,000 jobs per year.

With every day that goes by another harvest season passes, another family is torn apart, another talented student returns to their native country, and another

opportunity is lost to fix our broken immigration system. Our country was founded on the quintessential American values of self-determination and independence, and there is literally no other country in the world for which immigration is so central — to its history and its heritage.

The bill we passed more than a year ago in the Senate bears witness to this shared identity.

It is encouraging that the president announced his intention to take action within his power to fix our broken system, but without comprehensive legislation from Congress we cannot move our nation forward. Unfortunately, it seems the House of Representatives is refusing to move away from partisan extremes to join our effort.

Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

Straw bale garden fun for kids

By Esther Macalady

The purposes of growing plants with young children are to give children some undivided attention each day by adding gardening and nutrition knowledge, fun, and quiet conversation. They need to hear 20,000 words before kindergarten to become good readers and thinkers.

Straw Bale Gardening If your family is a little adventurous, have poor soil, dislike weeding and bending, try straw bale gardening. Straw consists of the stems of plants. Hay, however, is food for animals and has seeds that will mess up your garden. This straw bale gardening works in any climate.

There are many methods. One involves a straw bale with several layers of newspapers underneath and placing potting soil holes where the plants will grow. This method is easy with small children. Details are found at state sites.

The bale will get heavy, so place it where it will stay. Concrete and gravel are fine. Turn the bale narrow side up. The strings holding the bale together are on the side. On the narrow side, the straw will be folded over. On the other side the straw is cut. Place the cut side up. These will act as straws to let the water penetrate.

Condition the Bale Water the bale for about 10-14 days before planting and let children keep a chart.

Children will enjoy watering the bale until it softens up a bit. For three days keep it damp.

For the next six days water it and add a little mixture of about a capful of water-soluble fertilizer in a gallon of water. On day 10 only water again.

Show children how to use a meat thermometer to test the temperature of the inside. It may go as high as 120 degrees and then will come back down to 60-80 degrees that is ideal for growing plants.

Together dig out holes as you would dig soil to plant. Place some potting soil (not garden soil) in the holes and a plant. Almost any plant will work except corn. Tomatoes have large roots and heavy fruit so plant them a bit deeper than normal, place the removed straw on top, and stake them. Vines like cucumbers and zucchini especially love this system. Space them the usual amount.

After planting, water regularly so the bale does not dry out and fertilize normally. The plant roots will stay warm even if cool nights prevail.

Could you attract critters? Sure just like any other garden. Plant some marigolds in the bale. Some families wrap the bale with gopher mesh. Bales can be used for more than one year. They will turn into good compost.

Clinicians address ADD issues, marijuana effects This is the second of the new monthly column Ask A Therapist, where you can send your mental-health-related questions, and — space permitting – Community Reach Center therapists will answer them. Please email your questions to AskATherapist@communityReachCenter. org.

Video games’ effect on kids with ADD QUESTION: My question has two parts. My son was diagnosed with ADD (attention deficit disorder). He plays video games for hours at a time. First, do electronics contribute to ADD? Second, how can a child with ADD focus for hours at a time on video games but not on other tasks?

ANSWER: There is no clear evidence that playing video games contributes to ADD or any other disorder. However, video games are action-packed and highly stimulating to the brain, which is the main reason it can capture the undivided attention of children and adults with ADD. It’s much more difficult to make your mind pay attention to tasks that are ordinary and not stimulating. Playing hours of a video game can interfere with daily functioning, which can have a negative impact. Preferring video games over more mundane tasks such as homework, chores or playing outside can create an imbal-

ance in a child’s life. It also can create tension and stress between parent and child when chores are not done and school work suffers.

The best way to handle screen time is to predetermine the amount of time and when a child can play. Requiring other tasks to be completed before the video game turns on will help reduce the conflicts that arise once the video game is on. Setting a timer for the length of screen time and then requiring some physical activity or other activity afterward can help your child learn time-management skills and how to balance mundane tasks with time for fun. – Jill Atkinson, PhD, clinical director at Community Reach Center.

Examining a link between marijuana and mental-health issues

QUESTION: I read online that marijuana increases the risk of schizophrenia.

Is this true?

ANSWER: There is so much information that can be found on the Internet that it can be difficult to know which data are accurate and which are false. Concerning the information about marijuana use and mental illness, it’s important to look at national data that is trustworthy.

According to SAMSHA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), research shows the use of marijuana does have some correlation to increased risk of developing future mental health issues, including schizophrenia.

What is most interesting about the data is that it is not just the use but the age of the person when marijuana use begins that is a contributing factor. According to data collected from 2002 and 2003 and reported in 2005, among people age 18 or older, those who first used marijuana before age 12 were twice as likely to have serious mental illness in the previous year than those who first used marijuana at age 18 or older.

Based on the research that has been conducted and the onset of mental health issues that is found among those who have had regular marijuana use, there does appear to be data to support that the use of marijuana does increase the chances of someone developing mental illness including schizophrenia.

Research shows that when we use marijuana, we lose brain cells, and this is

especially damaging in a young person whose brain is still developing. In fact, we can prevent our brains from reaching their full potential by using a drug such as marijuana. This shows a strong correlation between increased chances of developing a mental illness and the frequent use of marijuana (in the studies, “frequent” was defined as using marijuana three or more times in a year). – Aaron Cordova, MA, LPC, a licensed professional counselor and manager in the school-based therapy program at Community Reach Center.

ADAMS COUNTY NEWS IN A HURRY County distributes energy aid Adams County has given more than $3.2 million to 8,646 residents in energy assistance from the county’s LEAP program during the 2013-2014 season. The program runs from Nov. 1 through April 30 each year.

“We are extremely pleased with the

amount of residents we were able to help this past season,” said Adams County Human Services Director Chris Kline.

“The program provides much-needed assistance to families in the cold winter months. Many of our citizens cannot pay their large heating costs when the temperatures start to dip.”

While the primary goal of the program

is to help low-income residents of Adams County with heating costs, the program also provides a wealth of information on energy efficiency, assists with the hiring of furnace repair contractors, and offers a variety of energy-related services to senior residents of Adams County.

LEAP is a federally funded program managed through the county offices of the

Colorado Department of Human Services.

Adams County residents may apply for benefits in the 2014-2015 LEAP season between Nov. 1, 2014, and April 30, 2015, by contacting the Adams County Human Services Department at www.adcogov.org, or by dialing the help line at 1-866-4328435 or 2-1-1.

Riding for hope, and a cure Newmont Bike Ride MS raises millions

Family owned for over 50 years

6950 N. Broadway 303.426.5881 www.mickeystopsirloin.com

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Around 3,000 cyclists took to the road for a two-day bike ride in support of finding a cure for multiple sclerosis last week.

Organized by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, the Newmont Bike MS, which started and ended in Westminster, is the organization’s third-largest annual fundraising ride in the nation, with riders raising close to $4 million.

“It is a massive undertaking,” said Carrie Nolan, president of the Colorado-Wyoming Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. “It is the best-supported bike ride in Colorado, according to our cyclists.”

For the 2014 fiscal year, Nolan reported the society will invest $50 million in MS research. Chapters throughout the country, including the Colorado-Wyoming Chapter, contribute to this investment. In 2013, the Colorado-Wyoming Chapter was responsible for $1.5 million.

Funding research has been critical in furthering treatments for MS and maybe, one day, a cure “Today, we have 10 FDA-approved drugs to slow the progression of MS,” Nolan said.

Three more drugs have hit the market in the last three years.

For nationwide cycling events like the Newmont Bike Ride, local chapters rely heavily on volunteers and without them, these events wouldn’t be possible, Nolan said.

Richard and Suzanne Pershall of Golden are active volunteers in the chapter, with Richard leading the Gold Wings motorcycle crew that follows the route during the Newmont Bike ride, in order to provide roadside assistance to cyclists who may need it. The Pershalls have been active in the bike ride since Suzanne was diagnosed with MS in 1996 at the age of 38.

“Suzanne and Richard are some of our top volunteers,” Nolan said. “They’re amazing.”

In the last few months, Richard has raised $50,220 for the society, and fundraising will continue beyond the bike ride until September. He has been the most positive influence for Suzanne since her diagnosis, and due to treatments, the pros-

“I had no chance for feeling sorry for myself,” Suzanne said regarding the tremendous support received from her family.

Although she reports the first four years after her diagnosis were the most difficult, she has not had any flare-ups or exacerbation in 12 years. Her right hand remains numb and she experiences muscle spasms, but her worst symptom with MS is fatigue.

“There are days when you could stay in the bed all day long,” she said.

Every day, she feels that fatigue, even before she goes in to volunteer at the chapter on Tuesday afternoons.

Through it all, Suzanne’s treatments of Copaxone, an injection she administers once a day, have worked remarkably well for her. Looking at Suzanne, it is impossible to tell she has MS. It has been Suzanne’s personal experience that drives her and Richard to volunteer, ride and raise money for a cure.

“We’re so blessed, we just want everyone else to be, too,” Suzanne said. “Even if a cure is not found in my lifetime, maybe it will be in our children’s lifetime, or our grandchildren,” she said. “If it’s not in the cards for me, maybe it is for somebody else.”

D50 to participate in new education initiative

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Adams County School District 50 will join two other Colorado school districts to participate in a new education initiative in an effort to help districts and educators to learn from one another in designing and implementing next generation learning systems.

The initiative is launched by Next Generation Learning Challenges in partnership with the Colorado Department of Education and the Colorado Education Initiative.

“This partnership comes at a critical time for Colorado as we identify and accelerate the best ways to improve student and teacher outcomes,” said Robert Hammond, Colorado Commissioner of Education. “The Colorado Department of Education is eager to learn alongside these early adopter districts so that we can share what they learn with other schools and districts across the state that will be doing this work in the coming years.”

Making up the Colorado Coalition, which is one of six regional innovation hubs to be selected for the initiative, District 50, Colorado Springs District 11 and the Thompson School District will each designate two schools to participate in the program. For District 50, Ranum Middle School and Westminster High School will be supported in designing next generation learning models that align with Colorado’s new graduation guidelines, which focuses on advancement of students based on mastery of the Colorado Academic Stan-

dards.

Students will be provided with a menu of options to demonstrate mastery rather than a single exit exam and there will be an emphasis on multiple pathways for students to engage in learning while elevating the importance of next generation student outcomes.

District 50 superintendent Pam Swanson said District 50 views the more rigorous high school graduation requirements as a game changer for students and school districts across the Colorado. She said realigning K-12 education to ensure students are ready to meet the new requirements goes to the heart of the district’s Competency Based System, in which the entire educational system is organized around engaging students in 21st century skills, working at their developmental levels and advancing only when they have demonstrated proficiency or mastery.

“We are eager to partner with the other districts to better support students and educators in making this shift,” Swanson said. “Ranum Middle School and Westminster High School will pilot strategies and programs to help students better use time and technology in education.”

The new initiative is part of The Regional Funds for Breakthrough Schools, a national effort that combines studentcentered, personalized, blended and competency-based learning approaches with high expectations for student achievement within a breakthrough school.

Botanic Gardens eatery opens

‘Tarzan’ goes deeper than spectacle

By Clarke Reader

creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

W

hen most hear the name Tarzan, the first thing that probably comes to mind is adventure in the jungle, swinging through the vines and battling all manner of

tropical danger.

What many may not expect — and what the Arvada Center is making the focus of its production — is the story of the search for family and finding it in unlikely places.

“Tarzan” — which is based on the Disney film, featuring music and lyrics by Phil Collins — will play through Aug. 3 at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. Performances are Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday at 1 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m.

“I wanted to make this production about relationships,” said director Gavin Mayer. “I think if there is too much of a focus on spectacle it can pose a problem — what we’re telling is a family story.”

The Colorado stage debut of “Tarzan” tells the familiar story of a boy orphaned in a shipwreck who washes ashore in west Africa. Reeling from their own losses, the young boy is taken in by a family of gorillas, led by Kerchak (Laurence A. Curry) and Kala (Shannan Steele).

As Tarzan (Brian Ogilvie) comes to manhood, he is forced to find his place amongst a tribe that he doesn’t entirely belong to. When Jane (Jennifer Lorae) and other humans show up for the first time, he is forced to decide between two worlds, both of which he is a stranger in.

“Since he was raised by this tribe he essentially thinks he’s an ape, and he doesn’t really understand why he’s different,” Ogilvie said.

“When he lays eyes on Jane, it’s the first human he’s seen and he has an identity crisis.”

Steele, Curry and Ogilvie all said that the physicality of the apes they are playing gets tied into the choreography from Kitty Skillman Hilsabeck, to create very individual and character-

based movement.

“I’m like a kid in a playground playing with different ways of movement,” Curry said, while Steel added that the individuality of the dances can be used to create a cohesive whole.

“It’s very near the ground and earthy dance,” she said. “There are times when all our dancing comes together and those moments are extremely important.”

In many ways, Jane is a real fish out of water in “Tarzan,” and while Mayer describes her as the crutch of the story, for Lorae it was important to capture Jane’s excitement about this first expedition.

“This is what she’s always wanted — to be adventurous and have this experiences,” Lorae said. “When she meets Tarzan there is so much she wants to teach him, and there is a lot of learning that goes on between them.”

Ogilvie described the story as a learning tool for people and learning acceptance.

“How do you react to someone who is different from you and what can you learn from each other?” he said.

In the end, everyone is looking for their own kind of family, and Curry and Lorae said that is the real lesson of “Tarzan” — everything in the show blends perfectly to highlight this message.

“We all have a heart, and we’re the same at our cores,” Steel said.

In honor of Colorado’s 138th birthday, History Colorado museums will be free to the public Aug. 1 and 2, offering visitors two days to celebrate Colorado’s wild, colorful, historical, traditional and modern culture.

The two-day Colorado Day celebration at the History Colorado Center, 1200 Broadway, will include food, music, dancing and hands-on activities as well as a chance to recognize how Colorado’s past has shaped today.

“No other organization can help Coloradans understand the present in the context of the past the way we can,” said Kathryn Hill, History Colorado chief operations officer. “We celebrate Colorado’s places, stories and cultures every day, and this is evident the minute you enter our museums. On Colorado Day, we offer even more for visitors of all ages to spark imaginations and stimulate conversations about our state’s issues and future.”

The Choose Colorado Tour, scheduled from Aug. 1 through 27, integrates 10 agricultural communities, celebrates farmers who help our state thrive, and educates and influences consumers along the journey.

Nice move by Adams

Five-time Academy Award-nominated actress Amy Adams, who was born in Italy and raised in Castle Rock, gave up her firstclass seat to an American soldier on a flight from Detroit to Los Angeles on June 27.

“While Amy’s random act of kindness was done purely from the goodness of her heart, word quickly spread of her good deed

July 10, 2014 after Jemele Hill, host of ESPN’s `Numbers Never Lie,’ saw it all go down and took to Twitter to share the touching moment,” according to a story in InTouch magazine.

“Just saw actress Amy Adams do something incredibly classy. She gave her 1st class seat to an American soldier. I’m an even bigger fan now,” Hill tweeted.

“Once we boarded, I saw she was in first class. I was upgraded to first class and she was a couple of rows behind me. I think she must have said something to the flight attendant, because before we took off she had vacated her seat and the flight attendant brought the soldier to her seat.”

Wine and movie nights at winery

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com The Balistreri family’s never relied on paid advertising to get the word out about Balistreri Vineyards in Adams County.

Instead they host annual events featuring their handcrafted wines and Italian-style food and next up on the calendar are two wine and movie nights on July 18 and 19.

This year’s featured movies are “A Walk in the Clouds” on Friday night and “Baaria,” an Italian film with English subtitles, on Saturday night. Before the movies begin at dusk, a vast menu of foods like bruschetta, fire roasted garden salad, wood fired pizza and Chicago-style Italian Beef Sliders will be offered all created and made by chef Chris Teigland. Each guest will also enjoy a complimentary glass of wine, gourmet popcorn and custom gelato made from Balistreri wine.

“We started this event just to show people that we exist out there,” said Julie Balistreri, coowner of the winery. “It’s a fun thing to do. You get to eat good food and drink wine and now we have 300 to 400 people each night. And what’s great is that people also get to find out about the winery.”

Balistreri Vineyards, at 1946 E. 66th Ave. in Denver, began after John and Birdie Balistreri needed a new venture in life after leaving the fresh cut flower business in the late 1990s. John began making his own wine, made in tradition

Italian fashion with zero sulfates, hand-picked grapes and keeping the wines unfiltered to retain more subtle flavors. Julie, his daughter, said he simply makes wines that he likes and hopes other like them too.

“My dad’s been making homemade wine since he was a kid learning how to do it from my great-grandfather and great-uncle,” Julie said. “We are primarily a red maker, but we also have dessert wines and some whites. We have a variety for everyone.”

When the Balistreri family isn’t hosting events like the wine and movies nights and the Harvest Festival in October, the family is pouring up wine tasters in the tasting room and getting to know their customers. Chef Teigland is also cooking up a lunch menu with a variety of appetizers, antipasti, soups, salads and sandwiches.

Julie said the winery is really an extension of her family to the rest of the community, inviting them into their love of wine and good food.

“After we left the greenhouse business we had to either get a real job, or start making wine,” she said. “This place really is a familyrun business, all of us working together, and we welcome the community into our way of life.”

People interested in attending a wine and movie night, need to register online at www. balistrerivineyards.com. Tickets are $49 per person. Food and wine is served beginning at 6:30 p.m. followed by the start of the film at 9 p.m.

During this year’s wine and movie nights at Balistreri Vineyards in Adams County, over roasted pizza will be on the menu along with antipasti, gourmet popcorn and Chicago-style Italian beef sliders. Photo by Courtesy photo

Ace Hardware store opens in Westminster Store specializes in plumbing supplies

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com When it comes to buying that hard to find plumbing piece, Standley Shores Ace Hardware in Westminster will most likely carry it. And if it’s not found, the staff will go out of their way to locate it.

That kind of dedication to customer service is just what owner Mike VanderKolk is focused on with his newest Ace Hardware store, which opened on June 13 at 9979 Wadsworth Pkwy, #200 in Westminster.

He also owns a location in Lakewood and previously owned an Ace Hardware store in Arvada, before closing the business last summer and relocating to Westminster.

Ace Hardware specializes in selling paint, lawn and garden, fasteners, electrical, tools and seasonal holiday merchandise. VanderKolk’s new store will have an extra focus on plumbing supplies. Store

manager Kelly Burge, whose been with Ace for 30 years, is concentrating on finding plumbing products people would need in nearby neighborhoods to sell on the shelves.

“The stores become as individual as the communities they are in,” VanderKolk said.

“It’s all about service and convenience. We are really working hard to bring in those niche products that are hard to find in other stores. We want to be able to help people with things that are in their home in this neighborhood.”

It’s not just about carrying specific products at Standley Shores Ace Hardware, it’s also about customer service. Burge compares the atmosphere at Ace to one back in the day at the “old general store.”

He said customers become part of the family and are treated like the best friends in the world, and usually they are.

“Everybody supports everybody” Burge said. “Ace becomes the place people want to go, their hardware store. We are here to support and help people in every way we can. Making their lives better, inevitably makes our lives better.”

From left, Standley Shores Ace Hardware owner Mike VanderKolk and store manager Kelly Burge opened a new Ace Hardware store on June 13 located at 9979 Wadsworth Parkway No. 200 in Westminster. The store specializes in plumbing parts and is focused on quality and knowledgeable customer service. Photo by Ashley Reimers VanderKolk will be hosting a grand opening sale Aug. 1-3 and welcomes new and former Ace Hardware customers to come check out what his store has to offer.

The store is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturdays and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. For more information, visit www. acehardware.com or call 720-443-5800.

A cordial collegiate checklist

By Terri Schlichenmeyer, Bookworm “77 Things You Absolutely Have to Do Before You Finish College” by Hailey Bondy 2014, Zest Books $14.99 / $18.99 Canada 192 pages Thirteen long years.

Twenty-six semesters, four proms, countless teachers, and you’ve graduated high school but you’re still not done with school.

Much as you wish you were, it’ll be awhile before you get your hands on your next diploma.

U-bound, that’s you.

But don’t be too eager. The secondaryeducation years are time to prepare and explore and, says Hailey Bondy, there are still “77 Things You Absolutely Have to Do Before You Finish College.”

So, in a few months, it’ll be campus life for you: freedom, friends, parties, and lots of big decisions. It’s exciting but it can also be overwhelming, even if you’re an upperclassman.

Your survival and sanity may depend on this

book.

First, before you even pack the car to go to college, de-clutter your life. Toss “junk,” keep what’s important, and know what’s worth schlepping to your new dorm or apartment.

Speaking of apartments, now’s the time to learn how to get one. You’ll also want to know how to make it a home and, while you’re at it, Bondy says to learn to cook one decent meal there. Why not try something you’ve never eaten before? Or this: learn that it’s okay – even desirable – to go to a real restaurant (not a chain!) and dine alone.

College is also a good place to hone your conversational skills. Have a real convo with a professor (but don’t brownnose). Talk with an “elder local” and listen to what life was like 60 or 80 years ago. Volunteer to give tours in your new hometown and be ready (and knowledgeable enough) to answer questions.

Get politically active by attending a council meeting or volunteering for a political campaign. Go to the library, just because. Learn a new language. Understand that naps are not

just for toddlers. Learn survival and self-defense skills. Ask someone on an old-fashioned date, but know how to be safe and how to end arguments and relationships. Learn how to make a killer resume and be financially savvy.

Finally, “forgive your own mistakes” and “break one of your own rules.” Life is too short to cling to either one.

Looking to make next year the best ever?

Are you a little freaked out that you might miss an opportunity somewhere? With “77 Things You Absolutely Have to Do Before You Finish College,” you can gather ideas now so you don’t have to worry this fall.

There’s no doubt that some of the ideas that author Hailey Bondy presents are things you’re already doing. Who, for instance, hasn’t spent some time doing volunteer work? You probably have, but Bondy takes it a step further and she also challenges her readers to get a little uncomfortable.

The nice thing about this book is that, even if you’re not quite college-bound yet, you can still get a head start on some of the

“77 Things You Absolutely Have to Do Before You Finish College” by Hailey Bondy activities here. For any student age 16 and up, in fact, these “77 Things You Absolutely Have to Do Before You Finish College” are what you should get your hands on.

Several new state laws take effect Revenge-posting, fatal hit-andruns, Jessica’s Law, and marijuana addressed Staff report A wide-ranging group of 50 new laws dealing with everything from Internet crimes to marijuana research to Jessica’s Law took effect July 1.

The statutes are among 425 bills that passed the Legislature and were signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper this year.

One of the more interesting laws creates a misdemeanor for the online posting of sexual photos of a person for the purposes of harassment or financial gain, otherwise known as “revenge porn.”

Posting of the so-called revenge porn is often carried out by an angry lover or spouse as a way of getting back at their partner over a relationship gone wrong. The new law — which had bipartisan support at the Capitol — carries with it a maximum fine of $10,000.

“The effects of someone posting intimate photos online can be devastating to the victim, but now there will be serious consequences for the perpetrators of this horrible practice,” said bill sponsor Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Monument, through an e-mailed statement.

Another noteworthy statute will provide $9 million for the study of the health benefits of medical marijuana.

The legislation sets up a grant program to fund scientific research into the ways that

medical pot can impact those who have chronic ailments.

New public safety laws also took effect on July 1. They included a law that will give police more time to investigate fatal hit-and-runs.

The law extends the statute of limitations for fatal hit-and-runs to 10 years. Prior to the new law taking effect, a hit-and-run crime could not be prosecuted five years after the incident occurred.

“This new law will go a long way toward giving law enforcement the ability to solve any fatal hit-and-runs that occur in Colorado,” said Rep. Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton, a bill sponsor.

“The families of victims can now feel more confident that the crime against their loved one will not go unsolved.”

Also, child sex offenders will face more stringent sentencing penalties, under Colorado’s first-ever version of “Jessica’s Law.” The law — based on a national initiative that is named after a Florida girl who was murdered by a sex offender — imposes a mandatory minimum sentencing structure that includes up to life in prison for those who commit violent sexual assaults against children.

Prior to the new law, the most severe sentence a court could hand out was 24 years behind bars.

Also taking effect on July 1 was the state’s annual budget. The budget commits $188 million to flood and wildfire recovery efforts; provides more than $100 million in funding for students attending state colleges and universities; and increases the state’s emergency “rainy day” fund by $130 million.

Lawmakers urge removal of gay-marriage roadblocks Steadman: Not everyone can afford to wait for ‘inevitable’ to happen

By Vic Vela

vvela @coloradocommunitymedia.com A group of gay state lawmakers on July 3 called on Colorado officials to “concede” that the state’s ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional and to avoid putting up any more legal barriers that delay “inevitable” same-sex nuptials.

That urging — and the state Attorney General’s decision that same day to take legal action against a county clerk who has been issuing “invalid” gay marriage licenses — capped a flurry of activity surrounding gay-marriage court battles from last week, an issue that is expected to become even more eventful in the coming weeks.

The lawmakers, all Democrats, held a Capitol press conference to urge Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper and Republican Attorney General John Suthers to essentially get out of the way of legal battles over samesex marriage that are consistently being won across the country by supporters of marriage equality.

“It’s about to happen and now we’re seeing the end game,” said state Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, who added that it is “inevitable” that same-sex marriage will become legal in Colorado, as it has in several other states.

The most recent victory for gay marriage supporters was a 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in Denver last week that Utah could not prevent gays from getting married there.

The appeals court stayed its ruling until the U.S. Supreme Court takes up the issue.

And since the 10th circuit court includes the state of Colorado, it means that the state’s ban on gay marriage — which was supported

by Colorado voters in 2006 — will remain in place, pending a Supreme Court decision.

However, that did not stop Boulder County Clerk Hillary Hall from issuing same-sex marriage licenses almost immediately after the court’s decision. And Boulder County has continued to issue those licenses in spite of threats of legal intervention on the part of the Attorney General’s office.

Those threats culminated in a lawsuit that was filed by the AG’s Office on July 3, which calls on Hall to stop issuing “invalid” marriage licenses.

“Regretfully, our office was forced to take action against Boulder County Clerk Hillary Hall due to her refusal to follow state law,” Suthers said through an emailed statement.

“While we would prefer not to sue a government official, Ms. Hall’s actions are creating a legal limbo for both the state and the couples whose relationships she wants to champion.

That limbo could have tangible and unin-

tended consequences.”

A hearing was expected to be held in a Boulder courtroom on July 9.

Further showing that this issue moved at lighting-like speed last week, Suthers’ decision to sue Boulder County came just one day after Suthers and Hickenlooper asked a federal court to issue an injunction declaring the state’s gay marriage ban to be unconstitutional.

That move deals with a lawsuit that was filed by six couples in a Denver federal district court who are seeking to overturn the state’s gay marriage ban.

However, they are asking for that injunction to be stayed, pending a Supreme Court outcome. The move suspends all trial court litigation on the matter.

Suthers is not a supporter of gay marriage.

But he sees the reality before him — that all lower courts have ruled on the side of gay marriage supporters. So, Suthers does not see the point in continuing to drag the issue through the lower court process and using tax dollars to fight against something that is going to be decided by the highest court in the land anyway.

“The motion we filed yesterday seeks to create a cease fire in the battles over samesex marriage in Colorado,” Suthers said. “We created a path forward to efficiently and decisively resolve several ongoing legal proceedings,” Steadman commended Suthers and Hickenlooper for filing the injunction. But he and other gay lawmakers would rather see the injunction filed without a stay.

“I think we will find that the sun will still rise in the east the next day; life will go on unchanged,” Steadman said. “The only thing that will be different is that all families will have equal opportunity to protect themselves and their property and their children, just like everybody else.”

Hickenlooper, who supports gay marriage, acknowledged to reporters later that same day that “there’s a great deal of frustration out there” on the part of same-sex couples who are seeking to marry.

However, the governor said that the court system has a process that needs to be followed.

“I’m not a lawyer, but as I understand the court of law, when the Court of Appeals issues a stay for their own decision to be judged by a higher court, legally you don’t have that right to go around it,” he said.

But Steadman said that while the issue remains up in the air, some couples might be running out of time to see their dreams of marriage become a reality.

Steadman’s own partner died of cancer prior to Colorado’s legalization of civil unions last year — a law that Steadman was instrumental in creating.

“I can speak from personal experience,” Steadman said. “Not everyone can afford to wait.”

Beauprez stands by ‘47 percent’ comments Video surfaces as governor candidate touts running mate, party unity

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com On a week when the Bob Beauprez campaign was buoyed by a poll that showed him in a 44 percent tie with Gov. John Hickenlooper, it was instead a different number that stirred a media buzz.

Hours into a statewide Republican “unity tour” on July 2 — where Beauprez traveled with former GOP rivals and his newly pegged gubernatorial running mate — Beauprez’s campaign ended up having to deal with the resurfacing of old comments.

A 2010 video obtained by the Denver Post shows Beauprez making comments to the Denver Rotary Club that were reminiscent of those made by former presidential candidate Mitt Romney in 2012 — ones that ended up derailing the Romney campaign.

“I see something that frankly doesn’t surprise me, having been on the Ways and Means Committee: Fortyseven percent of all Americans pay no federal income tax,” Beauprez said. “I’m guessing that most of you in this room are not in that 47 percent — God bless you — but what that tells me is that we’ve got almost half the population perfectly happy that somebody else is paying the bill, and most of that half is you all.”

Beauprez said “there is a political strategy” on the part of Democrats to keep a large number of people dependent on the government because it helps their party create a “permanent ruling majority.”

Democrats pounced on Beauprez’s comments.

“When he was catering to his Tea Party base to win a primary, he warned of an impending ‘civil war’ and attacked 47 percent of Americans, including veterans and seniors, as lazy,” said Jennifer Koch, executive director for the Colorado Democratic Party, through an emailed statement. “Now he is trying sell his ‘Unity Tour’ across our state.”

But the Beauprez campaign stood by the comments.

Campaign manager Dustin Olson said in an emailed statement that Beauprez was making the point that “it’s sad more people are not doing well enough to pay federal income tax.”

Beauprez does refer to income tax in his comments, which is a more accurate assessment than the one Romney made when he was speaking to Republican donors in 2010. Romney said that 47 percent of the country would end up voting for President Barack Obama “no matter what” because they are “dependent on the government.”

Still, Beauprez’s and Romney’s comments have a similar tone. Romney said that 47 percent of the country considers themselves victims and feel they are “entitled” to government benefits. Beauprez said that many people are “happy” to let the wealthy class take care of them.

Olson said the attack over Beauprez’s comments from four years ago is a futile effort on the part of Democrats to distract them from recent news in the race.

“Clearly Hickenlooper and his radical liberal allies are desperate following the recent Rasmussen poll showing Bob Beauprez tied with John Hickenlooper,” Olson said.

The poll, which was conducted in the days after Beauprez won the Republican primary, shows Beauprez tied with Hickenlooper, with both men garnering 44 of

support from respondents. Eight percent said they were undecided, while 4 percent said they preferred another candidate.

Rasmussen is considered a Republican-friendly polling firm.

As for Hickenlooper, he told reporters after an unrelated Capitol press conference on July 3 that he had not seen the Beauprez video.

“I just haven’t had time...” Hickenlooper said. “I keep intending to get to seeing that video and understanding it, but as you guys all know there’s a bunch of other stuff (to deal with). You tell me what I should be spending my time on?”

Beauprez touts party unity The comments surfaced the day Beauprez rallied Republican support on a statewide “unity tour.” The tour featured several prominent Republicans, including his former rivals in the GOP gubernatorial primary — former Congressman Tom Tancredo, Secretary of State Scott Gessler and former state Senate Minority Leader Mike Kopp.

All three men attended a Lakewood stop, where they conveyed the importance of winning Jefferson County — a swing county that is sure to be a key battleground in the fall.

“It’s a swinging county in a swinging state,” Gessler

told the crowd that was huddled inside a Jefferson County Republican campaign office. “The way Jefferson County goes will be the way Colorado goes in November. He will win if you all deliver Jefferson County.”

Beauprez also introduced lieutenant governor candidate Jill Repella as his running mate.

The Douglas County commissioner and Colorado native touted her county for having one of the fastest job-growth rates in the country. She also said the Democratic-majority Legislature “has run amok” by creating laws that hurt local communities — Repella provided no specifics behind that claim.

“I always thought of Colorado as a place where you can breathe freely,” she said. “I feel suffocated now. I fell suffocated because of the things that are being pushed down on us in our communities.”

Beauprez made comments that were similar to those he has been making throughout the campaign — ones that try to paint Hickenlooper as a failed leader who believes that more government is the answer to Coloradans’ problems.

“That’s the real question that’s on your ballot this fall,” he said. “Do we as voters believe and trust in the beauty and decency and the genius of people, or do we believe in government? I believe in people.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF July 7, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Don’t be surprised if, in spite of your well-made plans, something goes awry.

But don’t worry. your knowledge of the facts plus your Arian charm will help you work it out.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A personal relationship seems to be demanding more than you feel you’re able to give. Best advice: Confront the issue. you could find the situation surprisingly easy to work through.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Resist being pressured into meeting your self-imposed deadline. This is important if you really feel that taking more time to finish a project could save time in the long run.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A vacation choice seems less interesting than when you first made it. Could it be a matter of the place or the people going with you?

Find out before you consider a change of plans.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Someone might be overriding your leonine logic to get you to agree to “favors” you would normally avoid. Take a new look at what you’ve been asked to do and see if you’ve been misled.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Try to keep that emerging “judgmental” aspect in check this week. Too many critiques on relatively unimportant issues could create a lot of negative bounce-back reactions.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Facing unpleasant facts about an associate isn’t easy. But ignoring them isn’t wise. Ask a trusted (and neutral) friend to help guide you on what to do and how you might do it.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A shift in opinion regarding a workplace situation could go a long way in vindicating the stand you’ve taken. But be aware that a satisfactory resolution could still be a long way off.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) It’s not like you to choose the easy way rather than the right way to do things. So, follow your instincts and feel assured they will lead you to the right decision. Good luck.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Hold off on making a personal commitment until you find out what it really entails and whose interests are actually involved. There could be hidden facts you need to know.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A new friend offers an unexpected opportunity that could lead to a career change. Check it out carefully and consider getting an assessment from someone familiar with this field.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A surprising discovery leads to mixed reactions from those involved in the “revelation.” But as you come to appreciate the truth, you’ll be able to also come to terms with your feelings.

Just the right touch

Golf game: This week we focus on working on your short game

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com Golf lessons are very expensive and few people can afford them.

Yet many of us are full-fledged golf hackers or just enjoy the occasional round of golf.

But golf can also be a very demoralizing experience, one that you wonder why you paid serious money to participate in.

However, we want you to shoot low scores and get your money’s worth on the golf course and we think we can help even the occasional golfer with our quick (and free) weekly golf lesson.

So for the rest of the summer every single week we are going to give you a free golf lesson, focusing on one specific area of your golf game.

And by the end of the summer you will be ready to qualify for the 2015 U.S. Open.

Okay, maybe that is a stretch, but we will help make you a respectable golfer who will continue to lower your scores and feel good about your game.

This week’s focus: Making a commitment to your short game.

By starting here we can try to start developing good golf habits that will translate to all parts of your golf game.

And if you can improve your short game you can play with anybody — including guys (and gals) who hit huge 300-yard drives.

There is no better way to takes strokes off your golf game than by having a tight short game. Turning three shots into two shots and having the ability to get up-and-

Everybody wants to pull out their driver and swing away but working on your short game is the best way to shave strokes as Darrell Jacobs of Lakewood demonstrates here.

Photo by Dan Williams down is what separates the hackers from the players who look like they were born to play golf.

We all want to hit big booming drives down the fairway and we all want to be able to put the ball on the green from 200-yards out, so when we go to the driving range we pound a bucket of balls down the range using our biggest clubs.

But it is our putter and wedges that we use more any of our other clubs in the bag.

60 percent of most golf’ shots in a round of golf come within 100 yards of the hole.

But do we spend 60 percent of our

practice time on the practice green chipping and putting? That is a resounding `no.’ Most golfers are lucky to practice a few putts before their round, but they will instead do hit a bucket of balls with their driver.

But even if that golfer uses their driver on all 18 holes (14 is the average amount of times players use a driver each round), that is far smaller of number compared to the fact that most golfers use their putter 50 times in a single round.

That we suggest is that you spend at least half of all your practice time on the

practice greens. And before your round don’t wear yourself out hitting a bucket of balls before you even starts. Instead, chip and putt for a good 30 minutes.

Work on your long putts and work on your three footers. Work on your chipping and pitching from the fairway and rough, as well as from just off the green.

Make a true commitment to your short game for an entire month and we guarantee you will take five to eight strokes off your game.

Next week’s lesson: Course management.

racer readies for Mile highs Mike Berry works to get pro stock bike ready for drag races

By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Mike Berry continues working to translate good ideas into improved performance of the engine he’ll be riding in the pro stock motorcycle class at the Mile High National Drag Races July 18-20 at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison.

“We have been struggling all year,” the Englewood businessman said. “Oh, the bike is running but we just haven’t been able to put the (right) combination together to raise performance about 3 percent so we can place in the field.”

A pro stock motorcycle uses a 160 cubic-inch racing engine mounted on a specialized frame and body that resembles a production bike.

The motor produces more than 370 horsepower, launches the bike from a standing start and provides the power so that the bike reaches upward of 190 miles an hour in the less than 7 seconds it takes to reach the finish line a quarter mile away.

Riders race side-by-side in a pro stock motorcycle drag race. A rider positions his bike, takes his place, revs his engine and when the green light goes on, the bike and driver launch off the starting line. The torque from the engine lifts the front tire off the ground for the first 60 or 70 feet of the quarter mile race.

“You launch off the line in a hur-

Mike Berry works on assembling the motor on his pro stock motorcycle. Berry manufactures many of the parts for the motor and runs tests on the engine in his Englewood shop. He said he has been struggling to make his bike competitive. He said he hopes to be ready and qualify at the Mile High National Drag Races July 19-22 at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. Photo by Tom Munds ry,” Berry said. “I guess you would compare it to sitting on the end of a gun barrel and catching the bullet as it is fired. It is a rush and I love it.”

Berry, a Littleton resident, is an independent racer who, with help from a friend from Tulsa, John Hamock, tries to compete with teams with major sponsors.

“At least one of the full-time teams has four motorcycles with sponsors that provide a budget of about $3 million a year,” he said.

“We make a lot of our parts and do a lot of other things as we try to com-

pete on our own dime.”

The veteran racer said running at the Mile High Nationals is a challenge for all the teams entering the competition.

“The altitude means there is less oxygen in the air,” he explained.

“That means just about everything has to be developed just for this race. Even with all the adjustments, the altitude and thin air means a power loss of about 20 percent.”

He said racing a pro stock bike has special challenges because it doesn’t have a supercharger or tur-

bo to increase airflow to the engine.

“We have a bike that will run at the Mile High Nationals,” Berry said. “There will probably be 20 or 25 bikes entered and only 16 qualify for the race. We don’t just want to qualify, we want to finish high in the final standings. That is why we are still making adjustments and changing parts to try to improve performance. We’ll keep working and hope we will have a bike that runs well at race time.”

Berry grew up in Lakewood, lives in Littleton and started his business,

MB Precision Machining, in Englewood about 25 years ago.

“I love racing and, while we don’t have a lot of success, I stick with it,” he said. “In a way, racing is my advertising because it promotes my business. My business manufactures parts for my bike, others see my parts, want them, and become my customers.”

He said he loves racing enough to want to do it full time. But, he also has a thriving business so it is a balancing act between running his business and racing.

“I’ll admit I have given thought to putting my business on the back burner and racing full time,” Berry said. “But it is only a thought because I have a comfortable lifestyle I really like and full-time racing means all that would change dramatically. So, I just stick with racing part time and wishing I could get to more races.”

The real reason the Broncos closed off camp Training camp is just weeks away but the Denver Broncos aren’t telling us the whole story.

It was reported a couple months ago that the team will not allow fans into training camp this year because of $35 million in renovations to their Dove Valley complex.

But that is only half of the story. While the orange at Dove Valley is construction orange instead of Broncos’ orange, the team’s training facility has joined the rest of the state as being “under construction.”

But I will think the team itself being under construction is the biggest reason why the organization has decided to shut fans out this training camp.

The Broncos said that ongoing construction at the facility would have made things too difficult and even dangerous for the thousands of fans who usually attend camp annually.

But they also knew this for months — if not years — before they decided to tell Broncos’ fans they weren’t welcome in 2014.

I believe the team shutout fans at this year’s camp so the team can have a strictlybusiness approach to this season.

Whether it was a Peyton Manning decision or a John Elway decision, somebody within the organization saw the ongoing construction at Dove Valley as an opportunity to have camp as business-like as possible, as the team desperately tries to get over the hump and win a Super Bowl.

Remember in Rocky IV when Rocky Balboa requested that he trained in the cold winter mountains of Russia with zero outside influences? Balboa knew that if he was going to beat Ivan Drago he needed 100 percent commitment and dedication to his training.

The Broncos see and feel the same thing (minus the huge steroided-out Russian). The window is closing on Peyton Manning and this version of the team and it is going to be

If the Broncos can again put it all together and make another run at a Super Bowl title they are going to need something to put them over the top that they didn’t have last year.

They are hoping by creating an old-school business only approach to this season will be that difference in them going from great offensive team to one of the greatest teams of all time.

If this approach will be the difference for this team is yet to be determined but give the team credit for realizing that this championship window the Broncos have open is quickly closing and they will not get many more opportunities to make as good of a run at a Super Bowl as they have had over the past two seasons.

Instead of opening camp to the fans this season the team will have three free live scrimmages at Sports Authority Field where the team will work out and then scrimmage each other for whoever wants to come out and attend.

While that is admirable to do for Broncos’ hardcores, it certainly is not the same upclose and personal experience that training camp offers fans.

However, I think those same hardcore Broncos’ fans would trade one year of not being able to attend camp in exchange for a Super Bowl championship.

It’s time to plan a local fishing day trip Get your license and your gear and go catch dinner

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com Has it been a long time since you have gone fishing? Us too.

Now that summer is here we have fishing day trips planned and you don’t even need to go camping overnight or drive hours into the mountains to do it.

Colorado has some of the best fishing opportunities that can be found anywhere in the world, and we decided to find several spots for you to go and try to get a bite — and they are all minutes away from town.

And if you’re successful you can take home and cook what you caught with your own bare hands, instead of going to the grocery store and buying it for $7.99 per pound.

But before you pack up your car and head for your favorite fishing hole we have a checklist of items you will need before you go off and do battle with Mother Nature.

First off we don’t want anybody getting fined before their fun even starts so make sure to by Wal-Mart or Sports Authority and pick up your annual fishing license.

Your new license is valid April 1, 2014, through March 31, 2015, for not only fishing but also for combination fishing and hunting, small game and Colorado waterfowl stamps.

The license will cost you $26 dollars for the year or you can get a single day fishing pass for $9 if you are only planning on going out one day.

Now that you have your license you can go dig out your old rod, reel and tackle box. If you do not have any fishing gear we suggest finding some at a garage sale or perhaps on Craigslist.

Fishing equipment can be very expensive but it can also easily be found used for much cheaper.

The beauty of fishing in Colorado is that you can drive up the mountain to your favorite lake or you can simply pull off to the side of the road while driving up the mountain and drop your line into the river literally off the side of the road.

Lake fish and river fish might want to be attacked differently, so you might want to round up some worms and grasshoppers to go along with your Powerbait that you may have bought. Different bait options is a smart play

because fish seem to like different things on different days.

Lastly, if you are headed up the mountain for a little fishing, make sure to additionally bring sunscreen, cell phone, a pocketknife, at least a couple days worth of food and water and make sure to tell a loved one where you are headed just for emergencies.

Now that we have prepared you for battle we have a few local fishing spots to suggest and none of them will cost you a full tank of gas to get there: Evergreen Lake - There is no more perfect place to take the family up for a quick drive up the mountain than Evergreen Lake. Fish the lake from sunrise to sunset and if you are out there for a sun setting in the summer you might want to bring your camera because the scenery is spectacular. You might even catch sight of a pair of bald eagles that are nesting nearby. There are plenty of fish in the lake but on a weekend there are also plenty of people all around the park. So you might want to walk around the lake a bit until you find a quiet spot where you can cast off and take it all in.

Clear Creek - It is actually more of a river than a creek but it is also features several easily accessible fishing spots right off the road that you might want to stop at on your way to your further out fishing destination. You have probably driven by Clear Creek numerous times while headed skiing but now that the ski season is over trade in your skis for poles. (Carefully) pull off the road and test your river and fly fishing skills out.

South Platte River - If you are not interested in a drive into the mountains for a day of fishing that is no problem because you can fish in the heart of metro Denver in the South Platte River at several ideal spots. Just moments from I-25 and Santa Fe Drive, about five minutes from downtown Denver, sits Overland Pond Park, right next to Overland Golf Course. Park at the pond parking lot and walk down the paved path until you find the perfect spot to set up and cast your line.

Standley Lake - This underrated fishing opportunity makes our list because of its convenience and the fact that the state record walleye was caught here in 1997. Aquatic baits are prohibited here but you can use a variety of other baits to help catch walleye, trout, catfish and bass at the lake. And in addition it is stocked regularly throughout the summer by the Colorado Division of Wildlife.

Eldorado Canyon State Park - Just outside of Boulder resides this outdoorsman’s hot spot, featuring incredible sandstone cliffs.
