LEV ROPES

Grandbear the Storyteller About me I just turned 82. I’ve lived in quite a few places around the country and had many different occupations.

I was born in Helena, Montana. I’ve lived here in Golden since 1985, and before that, Lakewood since 1967.

My wife Linda and I have been married for 27 years.

We met in the choir of the Jefferson Unitarian Church.

I started out as an auto mechanic when I was 15. I went to college and earned a bachelor’s degree in earth science and a master’s degree in limnology, which is the study of fresh water bodies.

I ended up in Jefferson County through a requested transfer with my job as a groundwater hydrologist.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve liked to draw and was drawn to visual media from painting to animation and sculpture. Eventually, I opened a graphics business specializing in science technology and litigation. I made a living for 30 years creating

I tell a variety of stories, including many of my own.

Some of them are about my cousin’s ranch in Montana.

Jeffco board of ed to negotiate salaries with unions Teacher and support staff talking through April

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Jefferson County Board of Education is in negotiations with the Jefferson County Educators Association and the Jeffco Education Support Professionals Association to increase salaries.

Increasing compensation for teachers and staff has been at the forefront of the board’s priorities for the past

year. With the recent failure of a proposed mill levy increase, which would have provided more dollars for teacher pay, the board has been looking at ways to decrease spending and reallocate it toward pay raises.

The original push was to find $25 million. A general recommendation of reductions totaling $20.3 million was presented to the board at the Jan. 26 meeting. That recommendation included the closure of five elementary schools and the reduction in several support positions.

On Feb. 9, Superintendent Dan McMinimee relayed new recommendations to the board, including keeping

literacy interventionists, the social emotional supports and the gifted and talented resources, thus keeping reallocations as far away from students as possible. The board also voted to keep open four of the schools recommended for closure. The fifth, Pleasant View Elementary in Golden, will close at the end of this school year.

McMinimee said other cuts and cost savings could provide approximately $20 million to add to the compensation discussion. That figure includes approximately $11 million in reductions from central staff and services, reclassifying spending as well as reducing budget items to match recent spending

levels and an additional $9 million in retirement savings.

Amy Weber, the district’s chief human resources officer, said $20 million should be sufficient to address pay for paraprofessionals and step raises for teachers, but fall short of the regional competitiveness the district had hoped for.

The board also discussed employee negotiations during its Feb. 16 study session.

Proposition 104, which passed in 2014, requires school-union negotiations to be conducted in public.

Don’t Be Fooled by “1% Commission” Offers

The commissions charged in real estate transactions can confuse buyers and sellers.

Allow me to explain how it all works, in case you’re not clear about it.

Typically, the buyer’s agent — also known as the “selling agent” because he/she sells the home — is paid by the listing agent, not the seller. The seller signs a listing agreement for a total commission amount — which might range from 4 to 7 percent — and agrees to pay a portion of that commission to the broker who sells your home.

That’s referred to as the “co-op commission” because the selling agent is considered the “co-operating agent.” Regardless of the total commission charged, it is common in the Denver market for the listing agent to offer 2.8% as the co-op commission, which is spelled out in the listing agreement.

Since long before I became a Realtor, the listing commission has been subject to antitrust laws, meaning that we agents cannot discuss commissions with each other, so that each of us is incentivized to compete by offering lower commissions. Therefore, it is illegal for us to refer to a “standard” commission rate. The co-op commission, I’m told, is not subject to this rule, so it’s okay for me to say that the co-op commission is “typically” 2.8%. That number originated before anti-

trust laws were applied, when the “standard” commission was 7%. The Board of Realtors, in its wisdom, decided that buyer’s agents were entitled to 40% of that 7%, which equals 2.8%. Even as commission rates dropped under anti-trust laws, listing agents have been reluctant to reduce the co-op commission out of fear that agents would not show and sell their listings. (I tried offering 2.5% a few years ago, and went back to 2.8% after realizing this was true.)

Some discount brokerages will seek to get listings by advertising 1% or a flat fee such as $1,200 as the “listing” commission.

The “small print” will note that this does not include the buyer’s agent commission, which will be another 2.8% — which you’d be wise to agree to. The listing agent may suggest that you offer a smaller co-op commission, such as a flat $3,000, but you may well find yourself agreeing to increase that to 2.8% after a week or two with few showings and no offers.

Perhaps you, like me, have learned that you get what you pay for in life. That is true, for sure, with Golden Real Estate. Yes, we charge more, but sellers get more with our higher but below-average commission fees.

I welcome your questions and comments.

Feel free to call me or email me.

with a loan officer such as Bruce Gustafson of Universal Lending Corp., who provided the information for this column. His cell number is 303-596-0780. Bruce is an expert in the process of increasing your credit score to lower your rate. You should never seek out a “credit repair” company for this process. Bruce and other loan officers who have been trained in the process don’t charge for such counseling because they’re working to qualify you for a loan, which is where they make their money.

Also, some credit repair counselors concen-

trate on settling your debts for less than what you owe. According to Bruce, it may not be smart to pay off an older collection (most often medical, cell phone or cable) in anticipation of buying a home. The payoff may refresh negative data and lower your score.

Environmental Film Festival Opens Today

Every February, Golden Real Estate is happy to co-sponsor the Colorado Environmental Film Festival (CEFF), which is held at the American Mountaineering Center in downtown Golden. It opens this evening with free screenings and the award ceremony, 7-9:30 p.m..

Over the following two days, Feb. 24-25, you can buy a pass to see any of 16 feature films, 29 short films, and 4 youth films. The festival website, www.CEFF.net, gives the title, synopsis and length of each film, and when each of them will be screened. If the film has a website, the link is provided.

Some feature films that caught my attention include the following: A Plastic Ocean (1:40), Between Earth and Sky: Climate Change on the Last Frontier [about Alaska] (1:20), Shifting Sands on the Path to Sustainability [about the Indiana Dunes on Lake Michigan] (0:57); We the People 2.0 [about citizen activism] (1:29); and Poisoning Paradise [about Hawaii] (0:40).

Pierce Brosnan was executive producer of the Hawaii film and will be present at the screening along with the directors and will participate in a

question and answer session afterwards. The still photo below is from Belo Monte: After the Flood (0:57), concerning a hydroelectric dam built on a tributary of the Amazon, which ruined the livelihood of indigenous peoples.

I’m hoping to catch the following short films, too: Change for Chimps (0:04); From Flint: Voices of a Poisoned City (0:23); The Private Lives of Salmon (0:05); Tree Huggers [about old growth forestry] (0.10); Tropical Birds Confront Warming (0:04); and Whale Talk (0:06).

Tickets for Friday and Saturday are $18, or $36 for both days, which includes the wrap party on Saturday evening.

Between screenings you’ll want to visit the Call2Action Eco-Expo in the conference center, featuring “solutions-based organizations focused on environmental issues.” Golden Real Estate will have one of the 28 exhibitor booths. I’ll be there (when I’m not in a screening) offering free rides in my Tesla and answering questions about electric cars.

School of Mines to build its first parking garage Some residents upset about construction of multi-level structure

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Because of the increasing difficulty of finding student parking at Colorado School of Mines, the university is in the preliminary planning phase of building a new, multi-level parking structure on campus.

“We want them to be able to come to one parking location where they know they can get a spot, rather than traversing through the neighborhoods hunting for parking,” said Kirsten Volpi, Mines’ executive vice president and CEO. The parking structure will not only accommodate the burgeoning student population of the past decade, Volpi said, but also provide space for members of the general public who attend campus and community events at the school.

The structure will replace spaces lost to future construction on campus; accommodate cars that can no longer park in downtown Golden because of the city’s new parking system, which has stricter time limitations on free parking; and will support event parking such as football games and Jefferson Symphony Orchestra concerts.

“The city supports Mines’ efforts to manage parking and increase capacity,” said Steve Glueck, the City of Golden’s community and economic development director. “Construction of a well planned and located parking structure can help both campus operations and likely lessen impacts on adjacent neighborhoods and downtown Golden.”

Currently, the 6,000-student Colorado School of Mines has 3,770 parking spaces on campus, including street parking.

Just over 3,000 student permits are sold, which includes parking in general, commuter, resident and Mines Park lots. In addition, about 1,200 permits are sold to the school’s faculty and staff.

The four-level garage will be the campus’s first parking structure and will accommodate a minimum of 600 new parking spaces. The goal is to have it open for the 2019 fall semester.

Two sites are being considered: Proposed site A is located at 13th and Maple streets, across from the Colorado School of Mines Geology Museum. Proposed site B is at 19th and Elm streets, near the roundabout.

Two other possible locations were eliminated: One just east of the Green Center, 924 16th St., on campus, because it was too small, and the other near 18th Street and Washington Avenue because it was too far away from campus resources. The school also wants future development at that site to be more aesthetically appealing.

Both sites A and B have pros and

QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? If you have questions, concerns or opinions about the parking structure to be built on the Colorado School Mines campus, contact Gary Bowersock, associate vice president for operations at Colorado School Mines, at 303-273-3535 or gbowerso@mines.edu. cons, said Curtis Rowe, a traffic engineer with Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc., who, along with David Schafer, the principal architect at OZ Architecture, presented the two site proposals during a Feb. 16 community meeting on the parking structure.

Site A would provide better pedestrian access to campus resources, but would potentially increase traffic in neighborhoods on 11th and 13th streets.

Site B would have less impact on the flow of traffic in residential areas, but students would still have to cross 19th Street to access the campus, and another lane would be needed on 19th Street to accommodate additional traffic flow.

Although Golden residents realize the campus has parking needs, some believe the proposed sites would have adverse effects to the Golden lifestyle.

Resident Jeanie Maurer would encourage the school to explore other options, such as a location where a parking lot already exists.

“Both plans A and B would create gridlock at the roundabout at Elm and

19th, choking off the main commute route for local traffic,” Maurer said.

Site A would cause even more problems in the neighborhoods on 11th, 12th and 13th streets from Washington Avenue to Maple Street, Maurer said.

“This increase will negatively affect the livability, and most importantly, the safety of young children,” Maurer said. “In addition, this will change the historic feel of the neighborhood.

People and small tours like to walk this historic neighborhood to enjoy the quiet tranquility of tree-lined streets and the slower pace of days gone by.

There aren’t many places in the Denver area to find that.”

Maurer, along with about 15 other community members, including city government representatives, attended the Feb. 16 meeting.

Colorado School of Mines hosted the meeting. A previous, better-attended community meeting was held Jan. 31, Volpi said. The university also held two meetings to inform the Mines community about the parking structure.

The School of Mines is a highly respected engineering school and has the funding resources to find a positive solution to its parking problem, Maurer said.

“They are listening to resident input,” Maurer said. “Please let them know your thoughts about this before it quietly becomes a done deal. Help CSM take the opportunity to be a good neighbor.”

Proud to be a new American

52 immigrants gain U.S. citizenship at Denver naturalization ceremony

Husband and wife Dennis and Anna Reijnders embrace after a ceremony on Feb. 14 during which Dennis received his U.S. citizenship. The two married 12 years ago, beginning their lives together in the Netherlands where Dennis is from. Anna, an American, was about six months away from getting Dutch citizenship when a transfer with Dennis’ job prompted them to want to move to the U.S. PHOTOS BY CHRISTY STEADMAN

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dennis Reijnders’ American-born wife Anna was about six months away from gaining Dutch citizenship when his job with a cell phone company was transferred to a different city in the Netherlands.

But the couple, who met when Anna was going to college in Britain, didn’t want to live in Amsterdam. They decided to move to the U.S. “He was always fascinated with America,” Anna Reijnders said.

So they stored their belongings and moved into Anna’s parents’ basement.

Upon arrival, they set a one-year goal to get new jobs, cars and a home to call their own.

The couple, who now live in Thornton, met these initial goals then moved on to something even bigger.

Dennis and 51 other people from 29 countries became U.S. citizens in a Feb. 14 ceremony in downtown Denver attended by family and friends.

The ceremony, which took place at the History Colorado Center, was the first of many to occur across the U.S. during the week leading up to President’s Day, in which 25,000 people were slated to earn U.S. citizenship.

“It takes commitment and hard work,” said Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet in a letter read by his senior advisor Rosemary Rodriguez at the ceremony.

But not only did these people choose to become U.S. citizens, said JJ Rutherford, director of education at the History Colorado, they chose to be residents of Colorado.

“Being a citizen is a privilege,” new citizen Luis Lopez of Aurora said.

“You get better opportunities. That’s why they call America the land of op-

portunity.”

Lopez grew up in a border town in Mexico. All his life he knew he would like the U.S., he said. “This is something I’ve always wanted.”

So had Abdel Perez Moreno of Colorado Springs. Born in Panama, Moreno, 38, has been in the country since 1993. He went to high school in Colorado Springs, and although he attended some college for a career in auto mechanics, citizenship will help open doors for better jobs, he said.

“I’m very proud of him,” said mother Eneida Davis. “He is a good son, and he deserves this.”

Yolanda Burton, a dentist in her home country of Colombia, came to the U.S. eight years ago when she married her American-born husband Mark.

Having citizenship is important, Burton said, because it gives a person the right to vote. But for her personally, Burton wanted her 14-year-old son to have all the opportunities American children have. He can also gain U.S. citizenship since his mother is now naturalized, she said.

Burton, a Denver resident, encourages everybody who is eligible to earn citizenship to do so.

“It’s not a hard process,” she said,

PROCESS OF BECOMING A U.S. CITIZEN Determine eligibility — A person must meet certain requirements to become a U.S. citizen. These requirements include, but are not limited to, duration of time residing in the U.S. as a permanent resident, aka green card; ability to read, write and speak basic English; and knowing the fundamentals of U.S. history and understanding of the structure and principles of the U.S. government.

Apply for naturalization — Collect all required documentation needed to prepare and submit Form N-400, which is the application for naturalization.

Biometrics and interview — Most people will need to have his or her biometrics taken. This includes a criminal background check conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Applicants will also do an interview with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This is when the

applicant takes the English language and government and civics tests.

Wait for decision — Applicants will receive written notice of decision from the USCIS. The agency will approve, continue if additional information is needed, or deny the person’s naturalization application.

Take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States — All persons approved to become a citizen must attend a naturalization ceremony, during which the Oath of Allegiance will be administered and new citizens will receive Certificates of Naturalization. Most ceremonies will have people available to assist with voter registration and all new citizens are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the rights and responsibilities of being an American citizen.

“just time-consuming.”

That process includes demonstrating good moral character, becoming competent with the English language and passing a U.S. civics and government test of 10 questions chosen from 100 possible ones studied.

Norma and Youssef Ibrahim of Aurora left their careers as doctors in Egypt to come to the U.S. so they could provide a better life and good education for their three children.

Nearly six years later, the two are excited to settle in as new U.S. citizens.

“You can see it on our faces,” said Youssef Ibrahim, as he and wife

Wheat Ridge veteran hopes for help battling leukemia Close to Home Colorado shares story of soldier’s struggle

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The same radiation that saved Wheat Ridge resident and veteran Clarence “Ozzy” Osborne’s life when he was battling throat cancer in 2014 may well have contributed, he believes, to the myelodysplastic syndrome leukemia he is now battling.

But although Osborne, 59, is making progress in fighting the cancer, he and his wife Judy are in danger of losing their attached condo because of the high cost of medical bills and inability to work while dealing with the illness. Judy is also currently unable to work while she recovers from several surgeries.

“We’re waiting for my Supplemental Security Income to kick in, but that won’t happen until sometime in March,” Osborne said. “Every time the phone rings, I’m nervous about who could be calling. This is a very troublesome time, and it’s been a long, tough road.”

When Paige McDaniel, who attends Landmark Tabernacle Pentecostal with the Osbornes, heard about their struggles, she was inspired to try and

HOW YOU CAN HELP For more information on how to donate funds to Clarence “Ozzy” and Judy Osborne, reach out to Paige McDaniel at paigemcdaniel@ aol.com.

“We’re looking for any help we can get in the community, because we haven’t had much luck with many veterans’ organizations,” said McDaniel, who became close friends with the Osbornes. “They need help with things like paying their mortgage and their Xcel bill.”

Osborne currently has health care courtesy of the Affordable Care Act. The pair’s rent is $1,100 per month, car payment is $460 a month, and their Xcel bill is $1,600, and very past due.

McDaniel and others are trying to raise around $50,000 to help with the medical bills.

Clarence Osborne, born and raised in Detroit, came to Colorado in 1980 after he was honorably discharged from the Army. He enlisted in the Army when he was 17 years old in 1974 and went into the airborne infantry unit.

He was sent to Vicenza, Italy, and reenlisted in 1977, this time becoming a crew chief for Bell UH-1 Iroquois

Wheat Ridge resident Clarence “Ozzy” Osborne during his time in the airborne infantry in 1974.

COURTESY PHOTO helicopters (nicknamed “Huey”) for the rest of his time.

“I liked it a lot and learned a lot, but I was anxious to get out,” he remembered. “For just some boy out of Detroit, I was able to see a whole lot. I saw most of Europe by the time I was 21.”

After he left the military, Osborne worked in myriad jobs, including for an armored car company and private security firm. He also was an RTD driving instructor and, before retiring in summer 2016, a limo driver.

“Earlier that year I started feeling sick and was constantly out of energy,

and on Sept. 29, I was diagnosed with leukemia,” he said. “I spent 30 days in the hospital receiving treatment, but the cancer resisted the chemo. At the end of my treatment period, the doctors gave me about six months to live.”

Osborne was enrolled in an experimental drug study program at Presbyterian St. Luke’s Hospital in Aurora, which he said appears to be helping.

These says, he says he feels more positive about his prognosis.

But financial worries are increasing, and so McDaniel got involved with the Close to Home Campaign, a state nonprofit that works to end homelessness.

“Organizations across the Denver metro area all work together on this campaign to help those who are homeless or facing homelessness get out of the situation,” said Amy Pohl, a Close to Home Campaign partner. “Most people know someone who has some kind of experience with homelessness, and we’re trying to get communities active in dealing with the issue.”

Illness and the costs associated with treatment are common causes of homelessness, Pohl said, and she emphasized that it can happen to anyone.

That’s the fate McDaniel wants to prevent for the Osbornes.

“I’ve been so humbled by the support I’ve received,” Clarence Osborne said. “I’ve always tried to do good things for others, and it’s amazing to have people doing the same for me.”

Learning about little dinosaurs with weird teeth

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There’s no proof that heterodonts ate meat, said Erin LaCount during her fifth Everything Dinosaurs talks on Feb. 17, at Dinosaur Ridge.

However, they could have been omnivorous because they did have sharp canine teeth.

But it’s more likely that perhaps they ate roots, bark and low-lying branches.

Heterodonts are a group of dinosaurs with specialized teeth. Their teeth are so weird because they probably had a really weird diet, said LaCount, who is Dinosaur Ridge’s education program coordinator.

“They’re unique enough that they’re interesting,” LaCount said, “but they’re not very well known.”

The first nearly complete skeleton of a heterodont was found in South Africa in 1962.

The dinosaur lived up to the Jurassic period — about 199 million years ago. A second skeleton was found a couple years ago, also in South Africa, and paleontologists began the 3D scanning process in July 2016.

Heterodonts were little dinosaurs. They only grew

Erin LaCount, right, Dinosaur Ridge’s education program coordinator, chats with one of the museum’s new volunteers, Bradley Campbell, about the T-Rex’s teeth and brains on Feb. 17 following one of LaCount’s Everything About Dinosaurs talks.

CHRISTY STEADMAN to be about one-foot-tall and three-and-a-half-feet long, including its tail. They had short femurs and long shin bones, meaning they were runners.

Heterodonts didn’t have spikes, horns, clubs on their tails or any other of these kinds of protector things, LaCount said, so most likely their defense was to just run away.

“I’m one of those who never grew out of dinosaurs,” she said, “they just get more interesting the more you look into them.”

Jennica Brady of Aurora is a working toward a master’s degree in geology, and decided to do some volunteer work at Dinosaur Ridge — something

she’s been doing since January.

Brady has always had an interest in paleontology, she said, but the Everything About Dinosaurs talks will help her learn more about dinosaurs.

“It’s important to be knowledgeable for visitors,” she said.

“It’s surprising how much kids know about dinosaurs.”

The Feb. 17 talk on heterodonts was Bradley Campbell’s first day of volunteering at Dinosaur Ridge. The Lakewood resident works at a bank and every employee is involved with volunteering somewhere, Campbell said. Sometimes it’s at a food bank or a day of service, he said.

But Campbell ended up at Di-

nosaur Ridge because he likes the mystery behind dinosaurs.

“We’re still learning about all this stuff that happened in the past, and how it informs us about the present,” he said.

But not only that — Campbell prefers that his volunteer time is spent doing something that he can be outside and help kids learn, he said.

LaCount, 32, began her career with museums as a volunteer when she was 12. She has been at Dinosaur Ridge for 15 years.

“I love teaching people things,” LaCount said. “You don’t have to have a PhD to learn new and interesting things about dinosaurs.”

LaCount would encourage everyone who has an interest in dinosaurs to volunteer at Dinosaur Ridge. LaCount especially enjoys engaging with people and having conversations with that common interest — dinosaurs.

When Blake Sullivan was 12 years old, he found a squirrel skeleton in his back yard. His mother wasn’t too happy about it, he said, but he took all the bones inside and reassembled it.

Sullivan, 29, has been involved with Dinosaur Ridge for a couple of years. He is in the

Casa Bonita remains vital part of community Restaurant updates longtime landmark’s tropical lagoon

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Some students take a gap year between high school and college, but not many spend it like Max Spiegel has — diving into a tropical lagoon every 15 minutes or so at Lakewood’s Casa Bonita.

“I was a diver all four years at

Cherry Creek High School,” he said recently as he climbed out of the pool’s 88-degree water after his first show of the day. “I love meeting all kinds of people like I do here — and when you’re a cliff diver, the kids idolize you.”

Casa Bonita, 6715 W. Colfax Ave., which has surprised and delighted patrons of all ages since 1974, still has the power to draw a crowd. The vibrant pink exterior belies its warm, old-Spanish interior, matching its Mexican culinary options. There’s a Disney-esque feeling to the booths and various shows hosted throughout the

day, and it’s easy to get lost wandering its several levels.

“For us, and for the world, Casa Bonita is a top cultural icon,” said Bill Marino, executive director of the Lakewood-West Colfax Business Improvement District. “We have Casa Bonita, and the rest of the world doesn’t, so it’s a real feather in the cap of West Colfax and the 40 West Arts District.”

The restaurant’s 85-foot tower was a familiar sight to west metro residents for years. But Casa Bonita gained a whole new level of fame when “South Park” aired an episode set in the restaurant in November 2013.

“Every time that episode re-airs, we see an increase in visitors,” said Eileen Mullen, Casa Bonita’s office manager and head of marketing. “Coming here has become a ritual for many people, and we have customers who return often for special occasions.”

The 52,000-square-foot restaurant seats about 1,000 people on multiple levels, and in addition to the tropical diving pool, features arcades, gift shops and puppet shows. The famous waterfall used by the restaurant’s divers, was designed to resemble the cliffs of Acapulco. It is 30 feet high and the pool is 14 feet deep, and divers usually dive from about 15 feet above the water.

“You don’t deal with normal things when you work here,” said Mike Mason, Casa Bonita’s general manager.

worse for wear, Mason explained.

“This gave us the opportunity to go full-bore and fix things up really nicely,” said Paco Espana, head creator at Casa Bonita. “It was a huge project, but we were able to clean everything up, and add some layers and depth to the pool and formations.”

The renovation process took about three weeks, and the pool reopened for divers on Feb. 11. About nine divers are usually part of the restaurant’s 200 employees, a number which jumps to more than 250 during the busy summer months.

“There are so many little stories in the details of this place that people probably never notice,” Mason said.

“Everyone who worked on the creation of our caverns etched their names in the stalagmites and stalactites they built. But you have to know where to look.”

When Broad Street Realty bought the Lamar Station Plaza Shopping Center in 2014, the company quickly realized the importance of keeping Casa Bonita where it was and extended the lease for 15 years.

“From a cultural perspective, it was important to keep Casa Bonita because it is a 43-year-old iconic institution, not only for Lakewood and Denver, but the state of Colorado,” wrote Thomas Yockey, president of Broad Street, in an email interview.

“Its association with families literally spanned generations, because the kids

who went there in the ‘70s are now taking their grandkids to visit Casa Bonita.”

And from a business perspective, Yockey said, “keeping Casa Bonita in place was important because of the irreplaceable visitor traffic that has the potential of driving customer traffic for other current and future tenants at Lamar Station Plaza.”

Casa Bonita’s power to pull in people has been a significant boon for West

Colfax, especially in recent years, as the avenue has seen a resurgence thanks to the efforts of organizations like 40 West, and volunteers.

“It just brings people to the corridor,” Marino said. “We can promote it as a destination and entertainment center, and it exposes opportunities on West Colfax, 40 West’s galleries, and other restaurants and breweries.”

And while all of this is well and good, for customers like David Zuniga,

who has been visiting Casa Bonita for 40 years, the important thing is that the beautiful house is still there to show the next generation.

“We bring our students here a couple times a year, and they get so excited,” he said. “I started coming when I was a kid, and just kept coming back.”

HITTING HOME

Michael Alcorn

ast Sunday, I went to a concert. By itself this is not a very big deal.

After all, I’m a music teacher — I go to concerts frequently as part of my life. But this one was unique, at least in my experience. This concert was at the Cathedral Basilica downtown, and the performing group was the Adult Women’s Choir from Notre Dame Catholic Church, the church I grew up in. It was under the direction of Lillian Rotella and featuring, among others, my sister Susie.

Now, if you’ve never been in the Cathedral, you really must go visit. For my visit, the choir was great, and the acous-

tics are unbelievable. They were mic’d up and amplified, but I really believe it was unnecessary. The cavernous space and the marble surfaces everywhere carry every note, every nuance, every syllable from the dais to the far corners of the chapel with crystal clarity. I have — once — had the honor of playing my trumpet in there, and, I swear, it seemed like one note lasted about 10 seconds, once it finally got done echoing around.

But then, as you’re looking around, trying to follow the path of the last sound, the place just takes your breath away. Stained glass windows, 30 feet high, adorn every

surface and throw sparkles of refracted light in a million directions. Between the windows are sculptures, standing alone or in relief, depicting beautiful or tragic elements of the story of Christianity. The dais and altar are covered with more sculpture — and not the kind you find on the lawn outside the art school at CU, but flowing, dynamic human forms and intricate, organic depictions of Heaven and Earth.

Your eye follows the graceful arches of the structure to the high vaulted roof, and you feel a kinship to the superstructures like SEE ALCORN, P13

o you ever read Pickles comic strip in the Denver Post? The characters are a retired couple, Earl and Opal. In today’s comic strip, Earl sits a bench talking with his friend. Earl says, “Today’s the kind of day when I feel like just hopping on my Harley and taking off down the road.”

have infirmities. Comics are condensed storytelling. Storytelling in all forms provides connection with the humanity of others.

Now what about you? Do you like storytelling in the various forms it comes in these days? You can read your child or grandchild a story like The Three Little Pigs. (Two pigs eaten by the wolf, the third one overcomes the crisis and boils the wolf.

Hard choices a sign of the times I have lived in Jeffco for 40 years. I have four children well educated in Jeffco schools. My wife and I have known many Jeffco teachers over the years. These teachers have always impressed us with their skills and mostly their obvious caring about their students, as well as their love of teaching. In the late 1980’s and 1990’s Jeffco schools were considered to be among the best in the metro area. Sadly, I have followed the ups and downs these last years, witnessing the increasing discord in the Jeffco community.

How the times change. How could anyone not know that virtually everything in life increases in cost as time goes on. So goes the cost of education. Some neighborhoods age and adjacent areas build. New schools in grown areas must be supported. While difficult to downsize or eliminate schools in areas that can no longer “pay” for themselves with student enrollment, it is still a simple fact that there is only so much money to support schools, as Jeffco voters just proved.

Hard choices must be made. Sadly, Jeffco voters decided to turn down both 3A and 3B last November. However, every one of the surrounding school districts (Adams, Cherry Creek, Denver, and Boulder) approved school tax increases. I have heard it for many years that we owe it to the future (especially to our kids) to support our schools. Whatever may be the current situation, it is imperative we still provide for our kids and their futures. I will continue to support our schools. But, unfortunately, this school board now must make very hard choices.

Fiscal choices are always very hard. But that’s the boards’ job and what they were elected to do.

The voters have decided what this board must now confront.

Get on with it.

Or you can have a conversation with a friend over coffee, or put your story on Facebook. The story you have that people listen to most attentively is your troubling story.

You slipped on the ice and got a concussion on Thursday. Your garage burned down last night. You lost your job and you share what happened.

Hopefully your ending is upbeat.

With the concussion, you are forced to slow down and connect with your family. Your neighbors help you put out the fire and save your house, and draw the community together.

You lost your job but have a clever way to search for a new one. Your story helps other job seekers.

My recent crisis story involved fear of public speaking. Last August the Colorado Business Women’s group scheduled me to tell stories at their luncheon Jan. It sounded OK back then, but as the date got closer, I started to lose sleep. I was afraid I’d bomb in front of a group of 70 business women at the Denver Tech Center. But then I started to nail down my talk and felt better.

They had invited me because they liked the short stories in my memoir. My son came with me and made a video of my talk. Three short video clips are now on You-

What I learned from not chickening out on giving my talk for Colorado Business Women is that story telling is the best way to connect with an audience. They listened.

They laughed. They called me the female Will Rogers.

If you want to learn more about how to tell your story, I recommend you go on YouTube and look up my friend Dave Lieber , a columnist from the Dallas Morning News.

Dave did a master talk on storytelling for TEDx where he tells his funny mishaps about trying to fit in with Texans. As he tells his own story, he teaches you the structure of how to tell your story.

If you share your afflictions, your adversities, and how you overcame them, I predict you will become a storyteller. You will connect with an audience. Your audience might be your child, your grandchild, your family, your friends, your neighbors or a bigger group. You might even become famous.

Notre Dame Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, and all the history they embody.

I know there are some who see buildings like these, and can only focus on the incredible wealth represented by them. They see a gaudy, unnecessary artifice whose resources could have done so much more to feed the hungry and care for the sick. And I understand that impulse, and would lend it more credence, if the history of schools and hospitals and orphanages in the Western World weren’t, also, written on the pages of the Church.

That artifice that some see as wasteful, I find inspiring. Awesome. Humbling. I seek new sights and experiences to give me perspective and motivation, and, often, I look to the mountains or to

the skies for that purpose. But, being in that Cathedral, listening to beautiful music, made me remember that we silly humans, who are frighteningly good at destroying each other, are also capable of really incredible acts of creation.

Remember that, next time humanity gets you down. For every Hitler, we’ve created a Schubert; for Stalin, a Solshenytsyn; for every Mao, a Dalai Lama. Michelangelo, Mozart, Shakespeare, Lao Tzu — the works that these men created have lived for centuries beyond their lifespans, and I believe we still have that same capacity, if we choose to nurture it ... if we choose to focus on beauty, and rise above the ugly we tend to wallow in.

$300,000. Jeffco teacher salaries range from $38,000 to $77,837, as reported by Glassdoor, Inc., an major employment research organization.

The board, with its infinite wisdom, feels that the salary offer is competitive, and a 6-digit gap is evil.

So wouldn’t consistency call for a teacher pay scale starting higher than $200,000.

Where’s the common sense in wasting big taxpayer bucks to search for a replacement for Dan McMinimee, an ideal superintendent, who we were lucky to have, at $220,000?

Distilling the best parts of life

Colorado’s spirits scene sees growth, diversification

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

lot of ingredients are required to distill good, quality spirits. But one requirement is at the root of them all — passion.

“I went to Kentucky and Tennessee to learn from the distillers there,” said Mitch Abate, distiller at Downslope Distilling in Centennial. “It’s really cool to see people’s reactions when they try our drinks for the first time and have their preconceived notions changed.”

A distiller’s passion can be tasted in the dedication to the craft, quality of the spirits and how well the product is received.

“I’ve been distilling for 26 years,” said Stephen Gould, owner and distiller at Golden Moon Distillery and Speakeasy. “To make our drinks, we bring in ingredients from all over the world, and the finished product goes out to countries like the United Kingdom, Italy and Denmark.”

Distilling is the process that purifies alcohol by heating it into vapor, which is then condensed through cooling.

The independent brewery scene in Colorado has been steadily growing for decades, and that same approach is now following suit in the world of distilling. According to the Colorado Distillers Guild, the state is home to more than 50 distillers making everything from whiskey and gin to kümmel and aquavit. In this growing

industry, there’s all kinds of room for experimentation and variety.

“We’re Colorado’s only producer of aquavit, which is a Scandinavian spirit,” said Ryan White, owner of Devil’s Head Distillery in Englewood.

“We also do vodka and gin, but we wanted to make something that would differentiate us from everyone else.”

Local distillers’ commitment to quality, often locally-grown ingredients, is one reason more people are becoming interested in the industry, White said.

“There’s a greater interest from the public in locally-sourced goods,” he said. “There’s been a renewed focus on supporting local businesses, which has also been beneficial.”

Although people have grown more

familiar over time with the process for making beer and wine, the steps and nuances of distilling are still unfamiliar to many, which lends the process an appealing bit of mystery. But one of the goals of distilleries is to educate people, so tours are often offerred to show how the drinks are made.

Downslope Distilling takes education a step further and offers a distilling class once a month. Abate said he’s had students from all over the world learn about spirits and some of the ways they’re made.

“More and more people are coming in these days with at least some knowledge of how the process works,” he said. “This field is really booming, SEE DISTILLING, P15

In Colorado, it is legal to brew up to 100 gallons of beer and wine for personal use, but it is illegal to distill spirits without a federal permit or taxes.

There is no Colorado statute explicitly prohibiting stills, but it is illegal to use a still to make spirits for consumption or resale without a license.

The state does offer a distillery pub license to make spirits legally.

One of the stills used to make whiskey at Centennial’s Downslope Distilling.

Mitch Abate, distiller at Downslope, went to Kentucky and Tennessee to learn some of the secrets of making whiskey.

and groups like the Colorado Distillers Guild are helping get the word out.”

Most distilleries have tasting rooms, so visitors can sample the finished product. Golden Moon opened its speakeasy three years ago to provide customers a classic cocktail bar vibe to try the distillery’s many offerings.

Bars like the Schoolhouse Kitchen and Libations in Olde Town Arvada use locally made whiskey to enhance their collection of more than 1,100 whiskeys.

“Colorado’s whiskey scene is exploding right now,” said Lane Abshire, Schoolhouse’s resident whiskey nerd. “We have a lot of

demand for local stuff. All the time people come in looking for Colorado whiskey.”

Many of these creations are being recognized in and out of Colorado.

Last year, Golden Moon’s single malt whiskey won a double gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Devil’s Head’s aquavit was recognized at the Denver International Spirits Competition, and Downslope’s Ould Tom Gin received the silver at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Unfamiliarity about spirits and a fear of asking questions may have kept people from trying spirits, but Gould wants to change that.

“What I do is not about excluding people, but making things people enjoy,” he said. “We want to welcome everyone here to learn what they like.”

Recipes for spirits

Life indeed changes, but mountain adventures are forever It often amazes me how life can take different turns and circumstances can bring about things that are totally unexpected. If you are getting a little older and dealing with things like Medicare you’ll find that even the government has a term for it. They call it a “Life changing event.” Right now my father has been going through a few of those life changing events which by proxy has sent my life down a different path as well.

He’s having some major health problems and is now living in a skilled nursing facility. That’s a fancy name for a nursing home. He’s getting great care there and I managed to find him a very nice place located up in the mountains so it feels a bit less like some kind of institution.

My father is suffering from a bit of dementia so he’s on a floor dedicated to care for that type of thing. His room just happens to be the first one near the central nursing station and that’s kind of a lobby where residents tend to gather during the day. Consequently, if he leaves his door open some of the residents get a little confused and come walking, or rolling into his room. I was joking with him one day, after three or four gals came wheeling into his room, that he was becoming

pretty popular with the ladies around there. He said “Yeah, they keep coming in here and drinking my Ensure!”

I don’t think he was too thrilled with the AVENUE attention.

FLASHES One afternoon I was there visiting him and sitting in a chair with my back to the door. All of a sudden I noticed sort of a presence behind me. I turned around and there was a tall man, about six foot four, standing right John Akal behind me looking very confused. To say it startled me is an understatement. I just about jumped through the roof ! I stood up and asked him if I could help him and he just got more confused.

So, I walked him out of the room and found a nurse to take care of him, but something about him struck me as kind of familiar.

The nurse told me his name and then it hit me. I knew this guy! He was a ski instructor at another area when I was ski instructing years ago. We had met several times. He was very prominent in the industry. Unfortunately, he had

sustained a head injury a few years ago and his condition was getting worse as he got older. He’s now in his 70’s and needs ‘round the clock care.

A few days later I saw him sitting in a chair in the lobby and he just looked like he was totally out of it. So I pulled up a chair and introduced myself to him. That made him even more confused until … Until I mentioned that we were both ski instructors together years ago. All of a sudden he lit up, with a huge smile on his face and he started talking to me about it. Sometimes the words wouldn’t come to him, but he knew what he was trying to say.

He started remembering. He was so happy to have someone remember him too. We talked for about a half hour and I can honestly say that it was one of the most meaningful half hours I have ever spent. To bring some joy to an old acquaintance was a priceless experience.

One of the things he remembered was Warren Miller ski films. We all used to love those and marvel at the adventures. If you are into the outdoors, you might get to a point where you can’t remember what you had for lunch, but you remember those movies. And that brings me to this week’s event…

It’s the Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour … Yes, “Centre” is spelled right, It’s French as this festival comes to us from Canada. It’s sponsored by Golden’s own Colorado Mountain Club, but will be stopping by the Paramount Theater in Denver from Thursday, March 2 through Sunday, March 4.

It feature every kind if mountain adventure you can imaging from skiing and boarding to kayaking and mountain climbing. It’s the kind of heart stopping action and breath taking scenery that stays in your memory forever. This is the kind of thing you really want to take your family to see.

It’s truly a lot of fun and inspirational.

It just makes you want to get out there and do it. Tickets for the festival run $20 and you can find out more about the tour at www.banffcentre.ca/banffmountainfestival/tour. So, go and experience something that you will always remeber. It’s worth the trip, trust me.

A tale of two very different plays at Miners Alley Playhouse Harriet Ford

HIR ... the jury is still out AROUND I’m still trying to process the curTOWN rent production at Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden. “HIR” plays through March 5th. The story features a family that could only be described as “dysfunctional.” Paige (Martha Harmon Pardee), after years of keeping the house spotless, has turned into a complete slob since her husband, Arnold (Marc Stith) has become an invalid as the result of a stroke.

Arnold, who ruled the home with

an iron fist, is now incapacitated and unable to function normally.

Elder child Isaac (Royce Roeswood) has returned from the Marines and is completely taken aback when he sees the shambles in the house.

Max, formerly Maxine, has decided she/he is transgender. Thus the title of the play HIR is the new pronoun for this kind of situation.

Paige has gone completely off the rails and is reveling in Arnold’s inability to control everything in the home. She no longer cleans, folds laundry, does dishes or housework of any kind. Max is now being home-schooled in spite of the fact

that Paige is ill-equipped for the job. Isaac is beside himself because of the entire mess. He tends to side with his father which, of course, enrages his mother. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, Paige now has Arnold wearing dresses, wigs and lipstick which sends poor Isaac over the edge.

The acting and tech aspects of the play are superb, as is the directing

by Josh Hartwell; however, I still haven’t landed on any one reaction to the content of the offering.

Robin Hood In sharp contrast to the above

reviewed production, “Robin Hood” (the current Childrens Theatre play) is a romp in the woods ... literally.

Rory Pierce, Director of Childrens Programing, has done a masterful job with this delightful piece. Rory, whom you may remember from the vaunted Heritage Square Music Hall, has gathered some of his HSMH pals to participate in this show.

Scott Koop adapted the story, Randy Johnson arranged and recorded the soundtrack, and T.J. Mullin and Alex Crawford are in the cast. Other castmembers are Drew Hirschboeck, SEE FORD, P29

Jeffco Schools drops budget cuts to student programming Literacy, gifted and talented and social and emotional supports are safe for now Budget cuts for the gifted and talented program, social and emotional learning specialists, literacy interventionist and custodial and transportation services have been temporarily lifted, following a revisit of reduction recommendations for the Jefferson County Board of Education.

At their regular meeting on, Feb. 9, the board heard over three hours of public comment, then discussed key issues on the reallocations list.

Limited funding and changing student enrollment has led the Jeffco Board of Education to consider $20 million in proposed budget reallocations next year. In November, Jeffco voters rejected two measures that would have increased school funding, and state K-12 funding has been below levels dictated by Amendment 23 since 2009 (the negative factor).

The Board set budget priorities for competitive compensation for employees, maintaining school funding levels through student-based budgeting, and keeping school buildings warm, safe and dry.

“Jeffco is a big and complex system, and making the type of adjustments we are talking about involves a serious focus and commitment to the only thing that should matter — having excellent opportunities for our students to achieve Jeffco 2020,” Superintendent Dan McMinimee said during the Feb. 9

JEFFCO SCHOOLS BUDGET AT A GLANCE Items moving forward Pleasant View Elementary School will close as of the 2017/18 school year.

Moving to the 6-8 middle school model was reaffirmed as a positive direction for students, but the Board honored its original commitment of giving school communities a year to work on transitions. The accelerated timeline for Wheat Ridge and Arvada areas was not approved. The Chatfield area will move to the 6-8 model next year as planned and approved last June; other areas in the district will transition beginning in 2018/19 where feasible.

Items no longer to be considered for the 2017/18 budget year: Closing of Peck, Stober, Swanson, and Pennington elementary schools Board of Education meeting.

During his prepared statement, McMinimee relayed new recommendations to the board, including keeping literacy interventionists, the social emotional supports and the gifted and talented resources, thus keeping reallocations as far away from students as possible.

Adjusted recommendations also included not speeding up the move of sixth graders and returning to the plan as the board originally discussed last spring to work with communities a transition in the fall of 2018.

The proposed closure of five elementary schools was also included in the original general fund reduction recommendations. The board voted Feb. 9, to move forward with closing Pleasant View Elementary in Golden for a savings of $662,742 each year. The other four schools — Peck Elementary in Arvada, Pennington Elementary in Wheat Ridge, Stober Elementary in Lakewood, and Swanson Elementary in Arvada — will all stay open.

“We have heard that Jeffco continues to want to keep the cuts away from our students,” McMinimee said. “We have heard that early literacy remains a priority for both the board and the community and that we need a deeper understanding of the successes that have come from those investments before we eliminate that program. We have heard our social and emotional supports are making great differences for students

Items tabled Funding for additions to four middle schools will be revisited after the state budget is released.

Items deferred (only to be revisited if state funding is below expected levels) Wheat Ridge High School Gifted & Talented teachers for 2017/18 (the board allocated one-time funds and expects a plan to achieve a self-sustaining program beyond next year) Central Gifted & Talented Resource teachers Custodial services reductions Option and Outdoor Lab school busing Social Emotional Learning Specialists Literacy Interventionists Mastery Connect program and MAP testing K-2 portion and we should protect those if we are able to do so.”

Over 50 gifted and talented students addressed the board Feb. 9, with the support of their parents and several community members. A petition with approximately 2,000 signatures was also presented to the board advising them to maintain district support of the Gifted and Talented Center at Wheat Ridge High School. The center is the only one in Colorado and one of only five in the nation.

“Gifted individuals, these kids don’t even know there is a box unless you put them into one,” Kristi Hunter, of Arvada said in her address to the board. “If you close the GT center, these children have no where else to go. If you shut down this program, you risk their lives and our future.”

The Jeffco Gifted and Talented Center at Wheat Ridge High School has been serving GT learners since 2008.

The center supports the social and emotional needs of students, enabling them to succeed academically and is the only high school GT Center in the county, currently supporting over 120 students from all over the district. Next school year, the center is projected to triple its enrollment since its inception with more than 150 students expected to enroll in the program.

Except for fourth grade, Jeffco student math scores increase Fourth-grade scores stay flat; performance gaps exist for minorities

“This is a challenge in Jeffco, but also in Colorado and across the nation,” Flores said, adding that as a way of closing that gap, teachers try to create culturally relevant resources to the material being taught.

One big success, Flores said, is the number of students in the low range for reading in elementary school has declined, while the high/high average reading performance at the secondary level has increased.

“What we’ve found is that if kids are successful as readers, then the transition of reading to learn is easier,” Flores said. “That ability to feel confident in the primary pre-K to third grade in reading skills becomes so much more (important) in their education from that point on.”

Jeffco students also performed higher than the projected growth for mathematics in third, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and 10th grades, and for reading in eighth and 10th

In Jefferson County, the percentage of students performing in the high and high-average ranges in math has increased in all grade levels except for fourth grade, according to recent data released by Jeffco Public Schools.

Fourth-grade math scores stayed flat at 47 percent growth from fall to winter in 2015-16 school year and fall to winter in the 2016-17 school year.

“For us, that’s a celebration because it shows that kids are meeting expectations and have a good grasp of fundamental skills for math,” said Matt Flores, the district’s chief academic officer.

This was just some of the new student achievement and growth data presented to the Jeffco Board of Education at its Fed. 16 study session. The data was pulled from the fall and winter Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) scores.

MAP is an online assessment that provides information related to students’ performance in English language arts and mathematics and is administered three times a year.

The flat growth for fourth-grade math is partly due to a learning shift in that grade that focuses on abstract, instead of concrete, representation.

For example, Flores said, a number line is a visual tool that helps students transition from concrete to abstract thinking when talking about fractions.

Fourth grade, Flores said, is also when word problems begin to include extraneous information.

“They have to discern the extra information or information needed and really need to use problem-solving skills,” Flores said.

Another challenge the district faces is performance gaps for minorities, students who qualify for free or reduced lunch and students with disabilities.

a list of proposed cuts. Included in this proposal was a line item that cut all district funding for two GT teachers at Wheat Ridge High School. Districtwide, 11,476 students participate in the GT program. District staff suggested that the program would possibly continue to be funded by the school’s student-based budgeting.

Since that time, there has been a massive amount of pushback from the community.

“I am not only a student in the GT program, but I’m a GT activist because I’ve seen the affect this program has on the people in it,” student Ian Miller told the board.

“GT kids need specific assistance to grow and thrive in a society during their adolescence. From an emotion stance, the gifted and talented program has saved lives. If we allow this program to be cut, we are inadvertently holding the razor.”

“While these may be some of our wittiest and smartest and creative

kids, they are also some our most vulnerable,” said Deborah Huntley, of Golden.

With a suggestion from McMinimee and his cabinet, the initial proposal to eliminate GT teachers at Wheat Ridge High School was deferred, meaning it will only be revisited if state funding is below expected levels.

The board directed staff to find funding for the center this year and to work with the school to make the program self-sustaining for future years.

Also on the deferment list was custodial services reductions,

option and Outdoor Lab school busing, Mastery Connect program and MAP testing K-2 portion, Literacy Interventionists and Social Emotional Learning Specialists.

“These positions fill a void,” said Laura Ruyle, a social and emotion learning specialist in the Arvada West articulation area.

The specialists serve 28,212 students throughout the district daily.

“We recognize we can’t meet everyone’s expectations, but we do believe we can minimize the impact to programs, social/emotional supports and what happens in the classroom through thoughtful reallocation of resources,” McMinimee said.

The Board of Education originally wanted to fine $25 million in reallocations to provide increased compensation for underpaid teachers throughout the district.

McMinimee said the district could provide approximately $20 million

BOARD FROM PAGE 3

Weber presented the board with compensation objectives: to provide salary increases for all current Jeffco employees; to utilize existing salary schedules and systems to advance with salary increases; to provide lane advancement (degree/credits) to teachers; to provide additional years of service credit when hiring new teachers, ideally eight years, which would be step nine on the scale; and to provide additional steps to teachers already hired, if possible, aligned with actual experience of those teachers.

Board member Ali Lasell said she liked the idea of offering eight years experience.

“We will attract more people and more veteran teachers, which is such a great asset,” she said.

Weber said she and her team are in the process of developing an attestation form, which the district will use to gather information on the number of years of experience of all teachers in the district. This will help the district determine the actual cost of honoring eight years of service, above the five years currently provided.

Weber also has been working with an outside consulting firm to answer the question of whether teachers can leave Jeffco and make more money in another district.

What she concluded was different

without the broader cuts to add to the compensation discussion: approximately $11 million in reductions from central staff and services, reclassifying spending as well as reducing budget items to match recent spending levels and an additional $9 million in retirement savings.

“These suggested adjustments allow us to protect our programming and keep the cuts as far away from our students as possible,” he said.

“I believe that is the priority of each and every one of you — it is the priority of my Cabinet, it is the priority of our staff members and our association partners and we have heard again that it is the priority of our community.”

That $11 million in reductions includes not removing funding from anything on the deferment list.

Amy Weber, the district’s chief human resources officer, said $20 million should be sufficient to address pay for paraprofessionals and step raise for teachers, but fall short of the competitiveness they were hoping for.

“These suggested adjustments allow us to protect our programming and keep the cuts as far away from our students as possible,” McMinimee said.

“I believe that is the priority of each and every one of you — it is the priority of my Cabinet, it is the priority of our staff members and our association partners and we have heard again that it is the priority of our community.”

from what she thought when she started the study.

“I think there are individual situations where a teacher could make more if they leave,” Weber said. “But when we do the analysis across the system, I do not believe this is a significant concern.”

However, Weber added, “that’s different than making people feel valued.”

Regardless of flight risk, board member Brad Rupert said he thinks the district needs to honor the work teachers and support staff have been doing.

Three options for increased compensation were presented to the board Feb. 16.

Option one included the maximum amount of pay increases for all groups involved and totaled to $20.2 million.

“If we get all the money from the state, then we can handle option one,” said Kathleen Askelson, chief financial officer for Jeffco Schools. “We want to be specific on some adjustments, that they are contingent on state funding.”

The other two options each add up to less than $20 million and include different components, such as a costof-living adjustment.

Both unions have scheduled negotiation dates through April. JCEA is next scheduled to meet Tuesday, Feb. 28. JESPA is next scheduled to meet Thursday, Feb. 23. All meeting dates can be found at www.boarddocs.com/ co/jeffco/Board.nsf/Public.

Wheat Ridge Police Department warns of recent scams STAFF REPORT

In addition to the recent report of the scam involving a “Yes” response to cell phone calls, this time of year there are often Internal Revenue Service (IRS) related scams. To prevent tax identity theft, be wary of any IRS letter or notice that states: * More than one tax return was filed using the same Social Security Number * Additional tax is owed, tax refund offset, or collection actions for a year’s taxes weren’t filed * IRS records indicate wages were paid by an unknown employer The IRS does NOT request personal

or financial information from a taxpayer by calling, sending an email, a text, or social media message. Do not reply or click on any links in emails claiming to be from the IRS. Instead, report it to the IRS. Here are some other tips to avoid being the victim of a scam: * Never give money or personal information to anyone over the phone * Use a secure Internet site for online purchases and to provide personal information * Never wire money based on a phone call or online request, even if that person claims to be a relative or friend in need * Confirm with relatives or friends

if someone calls saying they are in trouble or need money. Never wire money without checking first. * Warn seniors about scammers calling grandma or grandpa claiming to be grandchildren injured or in trouble and needing money. Make sure they know to check before ever sending money. * Never wire money to collect a prize * Call the Wheat Ridge Police Department (303-237-2220) before wiring money to a foreign country Every year, thousands of people lose their money and personal information to telephone and online scams.

ing the call hadn’t planned to buy. The scammer will apply pressure to get personal information, like credit card or Social Security numbers. Scammer contact by email will often include what appears to be a link to a legitimate website. Look closely at the Internet address. One letter may be off or the company name may be spelled incorrectly. Look up the company contact information online and use that instead of the link that appears in the email. Never click a link in an email from a stranger, and if something just doesn’t look right, it probably isn’t.

Slam dunk champ helps raise daughter’s game

J Golden senior Sydney Prey, left, scored 26 points on Feb. 14 as the Demons defeated Evergreen 56-51 to wrap up the Class 4A Jeffco League title. The Demons will begin their playoff run at home on Friday, Feb. 24.

DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Golden grabs first 4A Jeffco title since 2008

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

GOLDEN — The chants of, “League champs! League champs! League champs!” rang through the hallways at Golden High School on Feb. 14.

Golden’s girls basketball team clinched its first Class 4A Jeffco League title since winning five straight conference titles from 20042008. The Demons edged Evergreen 56-51 to sweep the 2-game series against the Cougars.

“To win at home for a league title was an amazing experience,” Golden junior Abby Garnett said. “I can’t even describe it.”

Tied for the conference lead with 2-games remaining, Evergreen (20-3, 11-3 in 4A Jeffco) and Golden (20-3, 122) went head-to-head on the Demons’ home court in a top-10 4A showdown.

Golden had the advantage on Evergreen having won on the Cougars’ home court a little more than three weeks ago. Senior Sydney Prey’s late 3-pointer lifted the Demons to a 43-41 victory on Jan. 20.

“We knew Evergreen was going to make some adjustments,” Golden

coach Greg Bolding said. “She (Evergreen coach Amy Bahl) does a great job of watching film and making great adjustments. We had to step up our game. It wasn’t going to come easy.”

The strategy was straight forward for the Demons — get the ball to Garnett and Prey. The oldest of the five Garnett and Prey sisters combined to score 45 points. Sydney finished with 26 points, just shy of a season high.

Abby added 19 points.

Sydney had four 3-pointers and was a perfect 8-for-8 from the free-throw line. Abby also made a living from the charity stripe going 11-for-14.

Evergreen held a 41-37 lead with just less than 4 minutes to play when junior Hannah Kennedy nailed a 3-pointer. Kennedy came off the bench to lead the Cougars with 15.

However, Golden went on an 8-0 run led by a pair of buckets from Prey and a pair of free throws and a layup from Garnett to give Golden the lead for good with 2 minutes to play.

“Honestly, I think it came down to they made more plays at the end then we did,” Evergreen coach Amy Bahl said.

The Demons made 11 of 13 free throws in the final 90 seconds to clinch the program’s first league title in nearly a decade.

“We needed to get another league championship up there.” said Prey, Golden’s only senior this season.

“Now we want to take this momentum and carry us through the playoffs.”

Evergreen and Golden did split their 2-game series against two-time defending state champion Valor Christian. However, the Cougars and Demons had enough separation from the Eagles to make the Valentine’s Day showdown determine the conference champion.

Golden is the No. 9 overall seed at will host the winner of Mountain View/Mead on Friday, Feb. 24.

“There is definitely some pressure,” Garnett said. “It’s one game at a time, but we want to go far with Sydney.”

ason Richardson, the former Michigan State standout who played 14 seasons in the National Basketball Association, knows what it feels like to be in a pressureOVERTIME packed basketball game.

However, he admits that stress as a player is nothing like the tension he feels when watching his daughter Jaela play high school basketball for Cherry Jim Benton Creek.

“There’s so much pressure watching her play,” said Richardson who has made his home in the Denver area for the past two years. “No matter what your child does, you want your child to succeed. When she makes a turnover or misses a shot it’s like, `Oh man, come on.’ There’s definitely more pressure watching her.

“It’s definitely a lot of fun just watching where she came from to the player she is now. It’s fun seeing her out there being a young adult.”

Jaela Richardson played last season at Heritage High in Saginaw, Michigan, but a knee injury ended her season in February. She chose to join her father in Colorado and enrolled at Cherry Creek.

“I get a lot of advice from my Dad,” she said. “After every game, we watch film and go over not only what I’m doing, but what my teammates are doing. And what I can do better and we can do better as a team. I tell him, Dad if I did something, let me know.

If the team did something, let me know, so we can make the team better.”

Jaela, a 6-foot junior who missed several games early this season while completing rehab from need surgery, is averaging 9.4 points and 8.1 rebounds a game for a Bruins team loaded with tall players.

On a winning note Kyle Cisneros knows how to go out on top.

The Jefferson senior won the Class 3A championship at 132 pounds with an 8-3 decision over Brandon Damian of Valley at the Colorado State Wrestling Championships over the weekend.

It was the second consecutive state title after winning at 126 pounds in 2016.

D’Evelyn works 2OT for win versus Golden

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

GOLDEN — It seemed like the boys basketball regular season would never end for D’Evelyn and Golden on Feb. 16 at Golden High School.

The Class 4A Jeffco League rivals battled to double-overtime in the regular-season finale for both teams.

Eventually, a 3-pointer by D’Evelyn senior Alec Clifton with 10 seconds left in the second overtime proved to be the difference in the 71-69 suspenseful league finale.

“When it came to me I just knew I had to step up and hit it,” said Clifton, who finished with eight points.

It was the first overtime game of the season for D’Evelyn. The Jaguars trailed by as much as 11 points in the first half, but chipped away at the lead thanks to a great performance from the free-throw line. D’Evelyn finished 26-for-32 from the charity stripe, along with six 3-pointers.

“We tell guys to be ready to shoot,” D’Evelyn coach Dan Zinn said talking about Clifton’s 3-pointer. “He (Clifton) has been on and off all season. I’m glad he was on there at the end of the second overtime.”

Clifton’s 3-pointer gave the Jaguars (19-4, 12-2 in 4A Jeffco) a 70-68 lead. The Demons (16-7, 8-6) couldn’t convert on their next offensive possession.

“We were shooting the right shots,” Golden junior Adam Thistlewood said. “They just didn’t fall.”

D’Evelyn senior Josh Brinkerhoff, who finished with a team-high 29 points, made 1-of-2 free throws with 5 seconds left to push the lead to 7168. Thistlewood, who finished with a game-high 30 points, was fouled with 3.6 seconds left. He made the first and intentionally missed the second.

After a loose ball scramble, Golden would eventually get one last shot inbounding the ball with 0.7 seconds left. Golden junior Jack Moore, who hit four 3-pointers after halftime, got a good look from 3-point range but the shot hit off the front of the rim at the buzzer to give the Jaguars the victory.

“It was the craziest game. I was

The victory helped D’Evelyn take second in the toughest 4A conference in the state.

“I’d rather see tough teams heading into the playoffs. I think we are ready for whatever is thrown at us the next few weeks,” Zinn said of the Jaguars finishing on a 4-game winning streak. “I know our league is good. I think we have four teams who could all make it to the Coli-

Valor Christian (No. 1), D’Evelyn (No. 3), Golden (No. 12) and Evergreen (No. 13) all received firstround byes when the 4A state bracket was released Sunday, Feb. 19. Now, after the 14-game league schedule the Jeffco teams get a shot at proving the conference’s strength during the state tournament.

“Our Jeffco League is crazy. Of course I want them all to win,” Brinkerhoff said about hoping to see the conference fair well in the playoffs. “It would be fun to see them again in the playoffs. It’s a great

rivalry against almost everyone in our league.”

D’Evelyn will host the winner of Harrison/Cheyenne Mountain in the second round on Saturday, Feb. 25. The Jaguars might very well be in the toughest of the four regions with Lewis-Palmer (No. 6), Sierra (No. 11) and Sand Creek (No. 14) joining the Jaguars.

“We are excited to go into playoff and make a lot of noise,” Brinkerhoff said.

Golden goes into the playoffs on a 2-game losing streak with losses to Evergreen and D’Evelyn, but the Demons are also confident they can make a deep postseason run.

“It’s definitely going to fuel us for the playoffs,” Thistlewood said.

Golden host the winner of Frederick/Longmont on Saturday, Feb. 25.

Jeffco adapted athletics hits the hockey rink Special needs students from 19 schools participated in hockey day

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Bernie, the mascot for the Colorado Avalanche, walked into the gymnasium at the Gold Crown Field House on a recent morning, students athletes in the Jeffco Schools adaptive athletics program got excited.

High fives, hugs and fist bumps abounded Feb. 16 among the 24 teams representing 19 Jeffco middle and high schools at hockey day.

“This program means everything,” said Laura Zloger, adaptive physical education teacher at Lakewood High School. Zloger and her 16 students with disabilities look forward to the adapted athletics tournaments each month. “And then to have Bernie here, the mascot for the Avalanche, that just gets everybody fired up.”

The mission of the Jeffco adapted athletics program is to provide Jeffco students with disabilities the same opportunity as other students to enjoy the benefits of a middle school or high school sports program — becoming active members in society who lead healthy lifestyles.

Students that participate in the

Roman Hill-Schmik, of Lakewood High, battles Katie Wilson, of Arvada West, for the ball during their first hockey game of the day.

PHOTOS BY SHANNA FORTIER program range in mental disabilities from autism and social/emotional needs to physical disabilities that limit mobility. The sport of hockey is adapted for these students with the use of foam sticks, a bouncy foam ball for the puck and 10-minute games.

Some students are in wheelchairs.

“It’s about giving them that opportunity to focus on their ability and not disability,” said Bryan Wickoren, adapted physical education coordinator for the district. “We don’t want them to be a spectator.”

The adaptive athletics program holds a tournament each month focusing on a different sport. The sports tie

into the in-class curriculum and the seasonal prep sports. Hockey day coincided with Hockey Week in America and next month, basketball tournaments are scheduled around March Madness.

Students from the Ralston Valley High School hockey team and Metropolitan State University of Denver acted as officials for the games.

“It’s about trying to give back,” said Jay Gleson, senior hockey player at Ralston Valley. “It’s a lot of fun. A lot of smiles. And being able to help kids that aren’t as fortunate to play hockey, which is one of the things that I love to do. It really warms your heart.”

Colorado Avalanche mascot Bernie stopped by the Jeffco Schools adaptive athletics program.

Jeffo Schools Superintendent Dan McMinimee is a big supporter of the program.

“I’m really proud of the work (Bryan Wickerson) does,” McMinimee said. “It’s about trying to remove the roadblocks so every students has the opportunity to have this kind of experience.”

The program, which once required schools to pay for their transportation, is now free for all students and schools.

“It means too much, not just to our 16 kids at Lakewood High School, but the special needs kids throughout the district in elementary and secondary,” Zloger said. “Now everybody gets an opportunity to do this.”

The story remains unchanged. Robin Hood and his Merry Men live in the forest and rob from the rich to give to the poor. The king is away fighting a war and his brother Prince John has taken his place, along with the possessions of the people for his own use.

Watching the cast inter-

act with the kids in the audience is pure joy. It’s clear they love working with the youngsters.

For tickets and information for both productions, call 303-935-3044 or visit www.minersalley. com. You can reach your own conclusions about “HIR,” as I said before, the cast is brilliant, but I still haven’t made up my mind about the story line. It is definitely thought provoking.
