As votes cast Nov. 7 are now official per the canvass board, Brad Rupert, Susan Harmon and Ron Mitchell were officially sworn in at a special meeting Nov. 27.

“I would like to first say thank you to the voters for the confidence they’ve placed in all of us,” Rupert said after taking his oath of office for another four years. “I’m looking forward to all the great work I think is possible with all the pieces in place for Jefferson County Public Schools’ future in closing achievement gaps and bringing new programs for our schools and continuing to nurture the alternative pathways we present to our students.”

All three candidates will serve four more years on the board.

The three were also part of the board decision to find new leadership for Jeffco schools by not renewing former superintendent Dan McMinimee’s contract. The board then launched a national superintendent search the beginning of this year, which lead to the hiring of Dr. Jason Glass.

Susan Harmon is sworn in for another four years serving on the Board of Education for Jefferson County Public Schools at a special meeting on Nov. 27.

“It is time for us all to look forward to the future,” Mitchell said. “It is the future that matters and what we do with the responsibility the voters have given us.”

Harmon said moving forward, she is making a recommitment to the challenges that people have with mental

“Continue to share your enthusiasm,” Harmon said. “Bring friends to board meetings or ask them to watch. If we could all do that, then I think we can broaden the circle, which will come back to all of our kids.”

In an effort to keep leadership consistent, the board also motioned to keep board members in the same roles with Mitchell as board president, Ali Lasell as first vice president, Harmon as second vice president, Amanda Stevens as secretary, and Rupert as treasurer.

“I believe we’ve functioned well in these role,” Rupert said before he made the motion.

The next board of education meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 7 at 1829 Denver West Drive, Golden. View the agenda at www.boarddocs.com/co/jeffco/Board.nsf/Public.

Wheat Ridge family receives trip of a lifetime Baking Memories 4 Kids sends family to Florida

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Traveling has been a tricky proposition for the Balderas-Soto family. It’s not easy organizing a trip anywhere with three children, and it’s made even more difficult when one is battling a life-threatening illness.

But thanks to Baking Memories 4 Kids, the family is getting the trip of a lifetime to Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, Legoland and more.

“There’s been a lot of struggles for our family,” said Vionna Balderas-Soto, mother to Ramon, 14, Jessalyn, 12, and Jesus, 10. “We never ever thought this would happen. We’ve always had the dream of going to Florida, but with the cost and Ramon’s health, it never worked out.”

When Ramon was born, his initial the new born hearing screening came back with probable issues. He first started with bilateral hearing aids and then a year later became deaf.

Genetic testing revealed Ramon had Wolfram Syndrome, a rare autosomalrecessive genetic disorder that causes childhood-onset diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness as well as various other possible disorders.

“As the years progress, more things

Frank Squeo, founder of Baking Memories 4 Kids, speaks about the charity he founded that sells handmade chocolate chip cookies to buy once-in-a-lifetime trips for ill children.

PHOTOS BY CLARKE READER come up that he has to deal with,” Vionna said. “He knows what he has, but he doesn’t process it the way we do. He’s just a happy kid who is living his life.”

Baking Memories 4 Kids is a New York-based nonprofit, started in 2012 by cancer survivor Frank Squeo, which sells homemade chocolate chip cookies during the holiday season to pay for trips for children with serious illnesses.

“This year, we’re providing trips for about 45 families all over the country,” Squeo said. “We pay for all of it with the cookies we sell now through Christmas, so they really are the most powerful cookie you’ll ever eat.”

In the four year’s since the charity’s creation, it has sold more than 40,000 containers of cookies and provided trips to more than 60 families.

In addition to the family, the trip was very special for Jennifer Boncich and her 14-year-old son Mark. Mark and Ramon have been friends for years — Vionna was actually Mark’s translator for a while. Mark has Child-

hood Verbal Spraxia of Speech, which means he difficulty making accurate movements when speaking. He and Ramon bonded over their differences, and have been close ever since. It was actually Mark who nominated Ramon for the Baking Memories Trip.

“The family is so deserving of this,” Jennifer said. “I’m so proud of Mark for doing this — he knows we are to serve others.”

Always optimistic, nonprofit continues tree fundraiser Community support for annual tree lot is evergreen

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s been a bumpy road for the Golden Optimist Club to get the annual tree sale up and going this year.

The trailer the Optimists use to stay warm and conduct business got damaged from this year’s spring hailstorm. Their tree lot space is a bit more cramped than the previous two years because there is a construction project going on in the parking lot. And they did not even know what the trees would look like this year because their longtime, local wholesale tree supplier stopped doing Christmas trees.

But, they’re “always optimists,” said Suzy Stutzman, who has been involved with the nonprofit bicycle recycle program for about five years.

They replaced the windows and repaired the roof on the trailer. U.S. Bank welcomed them back, even though it meant the business’s parking lot would be cut back in size. And 350 trees were delivered from Michigan and set up the Friday after Thanksgiving.

“Everybody pitched in and helped, and finally it all came together,” said Elmer Dudden, the Golden Optimists’ main tree lot organizer. “I think everyone is feeling good about it now.”

The Golden Optimists Club has been putting on its annual tree sale since probably sometime in the mid-1970s, Dudden guessed, adding he joined the club in 1985 and it had been going on for at least 10 years prior.

This year, the Optimists will sell the trees until Dec. 23 or until they’re gone.

And they do sell out of trees just about every year, Dudden said. People appreciate the prices, which didn’t go up this year despite the hardships, and the quality of the trees, he added.

“It’s a fun project,” Dudden said. “I’ve always enjoyed coming here and selling the trees.”

The tree sale is the club’s main fundraiser. Proceeds benefit the club, which fixes up bicycles and donates them to any community member in need, and its community service projects.

“It’s for a great cause, and that’s really why I’m here,” said Golden resident Robb Classens, who purchased a wreath to hang on his front door. “Golden is a phenomenal community, as is Jefferson County. I want to pay it forward in any way that I can.”

Golden-based Boy Scout Troop 329 has been volunteering at the Optimists’ tree lot for a number of years, said Amity Joyce, the troop’s tree sales liaison and co-secretary of Troop 329’s Committee.

The tree lot provides the scouts with an opportunity to support and partner with their charter organization, Joyce said, while giving the boys an outlet to be trustworthy, courteous, kind, friendly and cheerful.

“Volunteering builds character,” she said. “They have to learn to take direction. They have to listen to other people’s needs. They’re dealing with a lot different personalities, so volunteering helps hone their interpersonal skills

Robb Classens of Golden picks out a wreath from the Golden Optimists to hang on his front door. Local Boy Scouts help run the Optimists’ tree lot, and local Girl Scouts decorate the wreaths. Below, Elmer Dudden, the Golden Optimists’ main tree lot organizer, left, assists Allison Sendziak with a tree sale on Nov. 28 at the Optimists’ tree lot located on the corner of 19th and Jackson streets in Golden.

BUY A TREE FROM THE GOLDEN OPTIMISTS

The Golden Optimists Club’s annual tree sale is underway, and the group will sell the trees until sold out.

Hours are noon to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

The lot is in the Golden U.S. Bank’s parking lot, 1801 Jackson St. Trees range in price from $35-$55. Undecorated wreaths cost $20, and a wreath that has been decorated by a local Girl Scout costs $25. Additional items such as tree stands, preservatives or removal bags are available for purchase.

For more information, visit http://goldenoptimist.org/ golden-optimist-breakfast-club/annual-christmastree-sale. as well.”

The scouts genuinely enjoy volunteering at the tree lot and working with the Optimists, Joyce said.

“I’ve stopped by on slow days and found the Optimists helping a scout with his homework,” she added.

“There’s a natural mentoring that takes place without anyone even realizing it.

None of that would happen without the tree lot.”

There are about 30 boys in the troop, who range in age from 11 to 17. They are there for the tree delivery and lot set up, and work shifts on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. They also try to help out on the weekdays after school, when they can, Joyce said.

“The boys are there as long as there are trees to sell,” Joyce said.

Dobhran Wilcoxen, 16, has been volunteering at the Optimists’ tree lot as a Boy Scout since he was 12. He looks forward to it every year, he said, because it is fun to hear the Optimists’ stories, and he likes to talk with the customers about the different trees.

“At the tree lot, we help get the lights

up, get the trees in the stands, set up the hot chocolate stand and then we start selling. We sell the trees, cut off the ends and secure them onto people’s cars,” Wilcoxen said. “My favorite task is actually selling the trees and telling people about them. I like interacting with the customers.”

Similarly, his fellow scout Christian Baker, 11, enjoys selling the trees because he likes to help people pick out the best tree for them, he said. But it’s also fun because he gets to hang out in his own private forest, Baker said.

“It’s important to volunteer at the tree lot because the Optimists need our help to keep the tree lot going to be able to provide the support they give to different groups in our community,” Baker said, “including my Boy Scout troop.”

Allison Sendziak made the drive from Longmont to buy a tree from the Optimists because her son is a Boy Scout, and the trees are well-priced, she said.

But another reason is because she remembers the tree her family in Golden had last year.

“Their tree from this lot was so pretty

last year,” Sendziak said. “So this year, I wanted to come get mine from here.”

The Optimists started out with 36 wreaths to sell, and about half of them were decorated by Golden-based Girl Scout Troop 60302.

“As a troop, it’s a nice bonding experience,” said Chris DeMink, co-leader of the troop. “But it also gives the girls an opportunity to work with another community service organization.”

DeMink’s daughter Katie, 14, has been a Girl Scout since she has been in the second grade, and she and the other four girls in the troop have been decorating the wreaths for about five years.

The girls especially enjoy the creative and fun side of it, Katie DeMink said.

The wreaths become more beautiful and improved every year because each girl is always coming up with new ideas and details to include.

“We put a lot of effort into them,” Katie DeMink said.

But the troop is also happy to be helping out the Golden Optimists, she said.

“We’re all just trying to benefit the community, and that’s why we do it.”

Marijuana money and education in Denver metro schools Pot-tax revenue accounts for 1 percent of total state education funding

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jefferson County Public Schools is hiring six more social-emotional counselors for 14 elementary schools.

Douglas County School District has one additional school counselor at each of its nine middle schools.

Littleton Public Schools can start a new program on substance abuse prevention.

And, in Adams 12 Five Star Schools, there’s a new bullying prevention program.

The school districts can thank state marijuana sales for the extra boost to mental health, counseling, dropout and other programs that help students socially and behaviorally.

School officials say they are glad to have the additional money — regardless of its source — for programs they otherwise couldn’t fund.

“Marijuana in Colorado is a done deal,” said Connie Bouwman, deputy superintendent of Littleton Public Schools. “The voters have clearly spoken. That being the case, we have a responsibility to continue to educate our students on the effects of alcohol and drugs. The dollars we receive from our portion of the marijuana tax fund two substance abuse specialists to help us further our educational efforts.”

In 2012, Colorado voters approved Amendment 64 that allowed adults 21 and older to consume or possess marijuana and required the state to set up sa regulatory structure for the retail marijuana industry. That amendment, as well as later bills, also mandated a sales tax with money going to the Colorado Department of Education.

Since 2015, the Colorado Department of Education has received $230.8 million from marijuana revenue, comprising about 1 percent of the more than $5 billion the state gives to school districts. That money is divided into two main accounts — the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund and the Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) fund.

Most of the school programs are supported by four grant programs in the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund, which focus on bullying prevention, behavioral health, early literacy and drop out prevention.

The School Health Professional

grant has awarded the most money from all Marijuana Tax Cash Fund grants, distributing $16.5 million during the life of the grant program.

Littleton was one of 36 school districts to receive money from the most recent distributionof this grant, which at $11.9 million accounted for the largest amount from the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund.

“These specialists provide training for school staff and help coordinate prevention activities,” said Diane Leiker, director of communications for Littleton Public Schools. “They also provide education, assessment, case management and treatment referrals for LPS students and families.”

Jeffco schools was also one of those recipients, receiving $825,164, an amount it will get annually for two more years depending on funding availability. Those grant dollars will pay for social-emotional counselors at 14 elementary schools that feed into Jefferson, Wheat Ridge and Lakewood high schools — the communities within the district that are closest to areas that allow retail sale of marijuana.

“Early, consistent intervention is critical to student physical and emotional health,” said Kevin Carroll, chief student success officer for Jeffco schools. “As educators we understand

and value that the social and emotional well-being of our students, as well as their physical health, directly impacts their ability to fully access learning opportunities. We are very excited to have this additional support for Jeffco kids.”

The district’s Office of Student Services also was able to hire a student support coordinator to lead substance abuse prevention efforts.

“The goal is to really focus on prevention, building relationships with kids and practicing social-emotional skills early and often,” said Erin Sullivan, Jeffco schools’ social-emotional learning coordinator, who also wrote the grant.

The Douglas County School District was also awarded three-year funding totaling $2.44 million from the Health Professional Grant, which will add one full-time counselor for prevention at each of the district’s nine middle schools. These counselors will focus on substance use and mental health prevention.

“I think it’s wonderful to have someone dedicated to really getting ahead of the problems and doing prevention work,” said Zac Hess, director for health, wellness and prevention for DCSD. “We know from research that’s the best way to combat it. What we

hope is that it’s less intervention, less putting out fires, because we’re preventing the fires from being started in the first place.”

Of all the districts applying for the Health Professional Grant funding, Denver Public Schools — the largest district in the state — has landed the most money, logging $2.78 million from 2016 to 2020.

Other districts, such as Cherry Creek Schools, Mapleton Public Schools —which includes parts of Denver, Westminster, Northglenn and Commerce City — and Adams 12 Five Star are also using money from the Marijuana Cash Fund to fight bullying, prevent at-risk kids from dropping out of school and bolster literacy.

The $74,000 that Adams 12 received from the Bullying Prevention and Education Grant will go to professional development, parent education nights and the purchase of a Buddy bench at Westgate Community School, a charter school.

“The CDE Bullying Prevention and Education Grant has given us a framework, structures and a toolbox to enact real, sustainable change in our school and larger community,” said Amanda Novak, dean of culture for Westgate Community School. “Our students feel empowered to speak out and stand up for themselves and others in the face of disrespect and bullying. Our community knows how to access support and resources, and there is an honest dedication to creating a positive and safe school.”

Jeffco will spend its three-year $607,447 grant from the Student Re-engagement fund — the largest amount awarded in the metro area —to focus on mentoring, social-emotional strategies, credit recovery and case management in five schools.

With money from the same program, School District 27J, which has schools in Thornton, Brighton and Commerce City, will focus on supporting students in its Career Readiness Certificate Program where students can acquire a National Career Readiness Certificate in combination with a GED diploma.

“The Career Readiness Certificate Program allows students who are significantly older and have so few credits accumulated that it would be challenging for them to earn a traditional high school diploma prior to turning 21,” said Innovations and Options Principal Kenlyn Newman, with School District 27J. SEE MARIJUANA, P40

WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM In 2012, Colorado voters approved Amendment 64, which allowed adults 21 and older to consume or possess marijuana and required the state to set up a regulatory structure for the retail marijuana industry. It also mandated an excise tax — a specific tax on marijuana — with the first $40 million collected to be reserved for school construction.

The tax revenue comes into the state’s coffers in two ways.

1. The excise tax The first $40 million from the excise tax on wholesale retail marijuana goes into the state’s Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) fund. BEST also receives income streams from the Colorado State Land Board, spillover from the Colorado Lottery and interest on the assistance fund. School districts, Boards of Cooperative Educational Services, charter schools, Charter School Institute

and the Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind may apply for the grants and must provide matching funds.

BEST also received a one-time disbursement resulting from Proposition BB, a successful statewide ballot measure in 2015 that allowed the state to keep the surplus in marijuana tax revenue.

This year, the state Board of Education approved $295.6 million in projects for school construction

across the state in annual grant awards from the BEST program.

Any money above the $40 million from marijuana sales goes to the Public School Fund, which is run by the state treasurer’s office and distributes fund throughout the state.

2. Marijuana Tax Cash Fund In 2014, the state Legislature created the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund to collect sales tax revenue

from retail and medical marijuana. Revenue from that fund must be spent the following year on health care, monitoring of the health effects of marijuana, health education, substance abuse prevention and treatment programs and law enforcement.

This is the fund from which grant money is awarded for programs that address mental health, bullying prevention, drop-out prevention and early literacy.

Fanbase already running out of slack for Elway

J

HITTING HOME

Michael Alcorn

ohn Elway took over the reins of the Denver Broncos in 2011, and one of his first moves was to woo Peyton Manning. We all know that that was the beginning of a beautiful partnership, one that ultimately resulted in a Super Bowl win. As if Elway needed more accomplishments to endear him to the fan base…

But, Elway, smartly, started planning for a day without Peyton Manning. First, he drafted Brock

Osweiler to be the heir apparent — we all know how that went down. Then, he drafted Paxton Lynch to be the heir apparent … and it would appear now that that didn’t work out.

In fact, there have, since that great day in 2012 when Peyton Manning came on board, been a number of blunders, missteps and flat-out misses with regard to player acquisition that has left the Broncos of 2017 as one of the least talented offensive football

teams in the entire league. Just two years after being crowned the best team in the world, it looks like the Broncos are headed towards a top 5 draft pick, as one of the five worst teams in the league.

And, of course, that is not sitting well with the fan base. It would seem that the 30 year love affair between Broncos Nation and John Elway has soured to the point that there are many calling for John Elway to have his power within the organization severely

scaled back. If you look as an accomplishment as making a deposit, and a failure/disappointment as a withdrawal, it would seem that, in the span of two very short years, John Elway has overdrawn on his account with some of the fans.

Of course, the sports world is not the real world. Not close. But there is a useful lesson in that extreme. Every relationship, SEE ALCORN, P13

The arbitrary list of program cuts that the letter writer cites depends not on “paying” for tax cuts but on economy growth (tax revenue) and fiscal restraint versus spending.

The notion that a tax cut would strip the behemoth federal government to a dysfunctional shell is simply ludicrous. The federal government is massive and is immersed in every aspect of our lives.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Tax cut truths Knowing the truth about any issue is difficult there are typically two polar opposite portrayals. Even with an objective view of the tax cut plan, gauging its effects is hard. Thus, I don’t fault a former letter writer’s doomsday blast at the tax cut, that is what she heard. The facts are: (1) Over the last decade, without tax cuts, the debt grew by $11.5 trillion — greatly exceeding the $1.5 trillion claimed 10-year tax cut effect on debt. (2) The tax cut goal is economic stimulation and that would help all financially and reduce the debt. That occurred after the Reagan Tax Cuts of 1981.The economy was stimulated, tax receipts in real dollars skyrocketed, rev-

with the exception of the parentchild relationship, can be thought of in those same terms of deposits and withdrawals. When you “open an account” with someone, you usually get a signing bonus — people tend to give others the benefit of the doubt at first.

And, every time you do something valuable to them, even something small like being a good listener, you make a deposit; and every time you do

When I attended umpire school, I was told over and over to “sell” the call, even if I wasn’t certain.

Never, ever say, “Out?” I had to say “Out” with the belief that I was right, no matter what.

I was never told, however, to choose sides, and influence the outcome on behalf of the team I had chosen.

It’s possible to believe in someone who is wrong most of the time, whose allegations are refutable, who does far more harm than good, and convert all of it, every speck, into a convincing defense. And to do it in the moment, extemporaneously, and to make doubt-

Government spending grew from less than $500 billion in 1950 to $3.5 trillion in 2009. Spending continues apace and cuts are necessary tax plan or not. Only with that and economic stimulation (yielding more revenue) will the debt be lowered.

Larry Von Thun, Lakewood In need of more nice guys Nice guys don’t finish last, though we may have been told otherwise in our youth. I am amazed that people think that sensitivity and workplace training will really help or are needed.

something irritating or grating, you make a withdrawal. Big things make big changes to your account; really big things— abuse or cheating — sometimes cause the “bank” to close your account. Great part about most people is that you don’t even have to keep making deposits to keep your account in good standing — most of us want those relationships. But you do have to be aware of not constantly making withdrawals, and to treat this idea as a cynical mercenary exercise will always backfire.

Note: I exempt the parent-child relationship because, when everything

is as it should be, a child can never overdraw from their parents — parents have open lines of credit with their children. That is the nature of unconditional love. So, parents and dogs, I suppose.

Once you understand this, then you have to start to figure out what a person’s “currency” is. For instance, I would love to buy my wife a set of golf clubs: that is big to me, it’s expensive, and you might think that a gift like that would be a large deposit in my account with my wife. But that would be to totally misunderstand my wife. Not only would that not even be a peso-

sized deposit, it would actually qualify as a withdrawal. She hates golf. One of those clubs would quickly be turned around and used against me.

Relationships are hard. Humans are hard. Two humans together are even harder. But if you try to understand the people in your life, understand their currency, and be aware of your account status, it will make it a lot easier to maintain those relationships.

And that means having a better life.

It’s a sight to behold.

“Yesterday he said a 6 was a 9, and now you’re telling me that I listened to his statement when I was upside down?”

“That’s right.”

I am not sure what it would take to get me to say something that was disingenuous, that I knew was wrongminded, might be hurtful, was intellectually broken, and make it sound like fair goods.

Someone up there wouldn’t like it.

My father. My father never misled me. He never promised me that he was going to have someone else build and pay for a swimming pool.

He never told me that he knew American history when he didn’t. He

never chased skirts. He never turned his errors into triumphs, and, most of all, he was never boastful.

His kind of clarity is AWOL in America right now. I have no plans, however, to walk the streets with a lamp during the day, looking for an honest man.

I guess I am too old for that, and resigned, and exasperated.

The silver lining is this: I appreciate

some people far more than I did before last November, and I appreciate some things — like good music, good art, and good literature — far more than I did before last November.

If you were brought up correctly, care about others, and have moral character, you will function correctly in the workplace. If you are basically a nice person you will work well with others.

The latest round of accusations may be telling us that there is possibly a significant number of government workers and elected officials that basically are not nice people. This may or may not affect their work performance, but it certainly affects their interpersonal relationships and calls into question their ability to work effectively for the public good. If these people are not concerned about the feelings of their co-workers and subordinates, do they really care about us when doing, or not doing their job?

New DCPA artistic director brings lifetime of preparation

for families all over the metro area.

“We’re the Rocky Mountain region’s largest lighting event, with most of our 60 acres lit up, as well as 130 animated animal sculptures,” said Sean Anderson-Vie, public relations manager with the zoo.

hen Chris Coleman’s mother shelved her acting dreams to be a mom, she started doing theater programs in the family’s local Southern Baptist church. That’s where Coleman first discovered the magic of the theater while he was growing up.

So, you might say he’s been training for his new position as the artistic director of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ Theatre COMING his entire life.

ATTRACTIONS Company “Digital entertainment and screens have become so ubiquitous that they’ve exhausted their ability to fascinate us,” Coleman said. “Theater is an antidote to that because it’s human. Instead of staying close to the surface, it invites to go deeper.”

Coleman is the fourth Clarke Reader person to have this title in the company’s nearly 40 years, and will join the company in May. Until then, he will work with managing director Charles Varin and associate artistic directors Nataki Garrett and Charlie Miller to finalize the 2018-19 season.

Before coming to Denver, Coleman served as artistic director of Portland Center Stage for the past 17 years, where be developed seasons that blended classic, modern and new works, as well as a playwrights’ festival, education programs and community events.

Of its world premieres, 52 have gone on to play on more than 115 stages across the country and internationally.

As artistic director, he will oversee programming of the company’s eight- to 10-play season of shows; the annual Colorado New Play Summit, and the experimental works of Off-Center. Additionally, the Theatre Company provides artistic and production support for select productions by DCPA Cabaret and DCPA Education.

“I like the focus Denver has on community,” he said. “There’s so much to work with here, and I’m excited to understand what’s possible on these stages.”

When he was first getting started, Coleman co-founded and was artistic director at Actors Express in Atlanta, a company he co-founded in the basement of an old church in 1988. This experience taught him about the theater world, and running a business — both skills that have proven useful over and over in his career.

Now he’s ready to bring his talents to the Denver theater world.

“I’m most excited about making work in these rooms,” he said. “I’ve never felt more strongly about the ability of art to impact audiences and the world.”

Even though Grace Ramírez is a Denver native and works for the City of Denver, it’s still a thrill to see downtown and the Denver City and County Building all lit up for the season.

“It’s been part of our family tradition for years,” said Ramírez, senior adviser for community affairs.

“It’s a touchstone for a lot of families, and even though the lights are different every year, we have decorations we use every time. People have their favorites, which they are on the lookout for.”

During the holiday season, Denver and surrounding cities have for years lit up the night with flashing and twinkling lights, music and family fun. All visitors need is a coat.

The holiday lights at the Denver City and County Building have been a feature of the holidays since 1932, though its roots go back to 1919.

The Denver Zoo’s annual Zoo Lights is entering its 27th year, and the Denver Botanic Gardens has hosted Blossoms of Light at its York Street Garden for 29 years, while the facility’s Chatfield Farms location has played host to lights for nine years — first as Trail of Lights, and this year as Santa’s Village.

Going beyond English for all inclusive libraries Jeffco library increases Spanish language assistance, programs

Gloria Perez-Alvarez, a bilingual patron experience associate at the Lakewood Library, pulls out a book in the children’s Spanish language section of the library. The Jefferson County Public Library is working toward better serving its Spanish-speaking patrons.

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During the first few years after Gloria Pérez-Álvarez moved from Guadalajara, Mexico, to the U.S. in Jefferson County, she would only venture out into the community for necessary errands such as to and from the grocery store.

“I stayed hidden,” she said.

She spoke to few people, and only when she had to. She preferred to stay behind her husband — a Denver native who speaks English.

However, about five years ago, PérezÁlvarez started going to the Lakewood Library to get Spanish-language books and other materials for her two young children, who are now 5 and 3.

“I wanted to get fun and interesting material for them,” she said, “but I felt disappointed about the options and size of the collection.”

But that was before she learned that the library offers 10 times what is available on the shelves because she could not approach library staff with questions since her English was so limited.

Now, Pérez-Álvarez, 32, speaks English nearly fluently and has been working at the library for about a year and a half as a bilingual patron experience associate.

“I would love for more Spanishspeaking people to come to the library and learn about the resources available,” Pérez-Álvarez said. “We are very interested in making the library more inclusive.”

The Jefferson County Public Library is committed to serving every,one in the community, said Simone Groene-Nieto, the library’s coordinator of services to diverse communities. And one way the library is moving toward accomplishing that is the recent launch of its Spanish-language phone support in the call center.

The call center handles an average of 500 calls a day from people asking about everything from renewing

Before the launch of the bilingual service, Spanish speakers would often have an Englishspeaking household member call for them because the library’s call center did not have an efficient way to reliably meet their needs in Spanish, Groene-Nieto said.

“That’s why it’s key to make this change,” she said. “It allows people to self-select a Spanish speaker to serve them in their language.”

grew up speaking both English and Spanish.

“When I was little, I would always have to translate for my family,” Higuera, 30, said. “Now, with the new service, they can come here with confidence and speak with someone they can relate to.”

There are 10 Jeffco library locations, and six of them — Arvada, Belmar, Columbine, Edgewater, Lakewood and Wheat Ridge — have at least one bilingual staff member on duty at all times that the library is open, GroeneNieto said. In addition, the library will also continue to increase its collection of Spanish books, movies, CDs and magazines, Groene-Nieto said. The library system is also offering new programming for Spanish-speakers, such as Spanish story times for children, and English conversation tables which are meant to be complimentary to English language classes.

Amarely Quintanilla is a Lakewood resident who has been a library patron for about 10 years. She is bilingual and works in a hospital, and said she would read anything in Spanish that she would read in English, specifically to improve her vocabulary.

“I want to be able to help people as much as I can, so I want to be as fluent as possible,” Quintanilla said.

She said she is thrilled the library

is increasing its Spanish-language collection, but added that she is an avid traveler and would be interested in checking out books in other foreign languages, too.

“Learning a foreign language is exciting and fun,” Quintanilla said. “It can ignite more interest in the foreign language section of the library.”

The library also has a bilingual team that goes out into the community and does English-Spanish story times at Jeffco’s Head Start schools and local preschools with a focus on those that are Title 1, said Robyn Lupa, the library’s coordinator with kids and families.

“The English speakers are learning a new language, and the Spanish speakers get to connect with someone in their own language,” Lupa said.

“It’s a win-win for both. Even the shyest kids come out of their shell.”

Jefferson County’s demographics are changing, Groene-Nieto said, and the library recognizes it needs to change along with it.

“Libraries are access points and all people have the right to access information through the library,” GroeneNieto said, adding that includes the community’s Spanish speakers. “We want everyone to feel welcome, and help them live and thrive in the community.”

Santa Shop brings hope to teen moms in need More than 100 teen mothers will shop for holiday gifts this weekend

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rosa Stevenson, 21, says she has never been able to provide Christmas gifts for her six-year-old daughter, Mary Jane. But this year, that will change with the help of the Hope House of Colorado Santa Shop.

“I’m looking forward to actually getting them presents this year,” Stevenson said. “I’m excited.”

Stevenson is one of over 100 teen moms in the Denver Metro area who will be able to shop for gifts for their kids using points they earned from attending Hope House classes throughout the year.

Hope House of Colorado is a nonprofit based in Arvada that empowers parenting teenage moms to strive for personal and economic self-sufficiency and to understand their significance in God’s sight, resulting in a healthy future for them, and for their children.

This is the first year for the Santa Shop model where moms can earn points and shop for their children. In years past, it was an adoption-style program.

“First and foremost we are a selfsufficiency organization. so it just makes sense for the girls to earn,” said Lisa Steven, executive director of Hope House. “It’s so empowering for

“Where it seems common to give a big Christmas gift to your kids, this is very rare for them,” said Kara Mapel, residential program manager for Hope House. “They don’t have the extra cash to purchase gifts. They purchase the essentials, but this is fun for them to be able to provide toys.”

Stevenson, now a mother of two, give birth to her oldest at 14. The last grade she completed was eighth.

But after years of couch surfing, abusive relationships and working minimum wage jobs, Stevenson is taking hold of self sufficiency through GED classes at Hope House and enrolling in the residential program.

Stevenson’s husband and father of her one-year-old son, Jeremiah, has been in prison for the last seven months, serving a 40 month sentence.

The reality of having to raise two kids on her own pushed her toward the

residential program at Hope House.

“I’ve been struggling,” Stevenson said. “My husband going into prison made it a bit harder for me because he was the one working, paying bills. I lost it all.”

The Hope House residential program provides Stevenson stability and support she needs to complete her GED. She also attends parenting classes and will soon start healthy relationships classes. The classes are part of the requirements to graduate the Hope House program and also help the girls earn points for the Santa Shop.

For 18-year-old mother Trinity Williams, moving into the residential program at Hope House was one of her biggest struggles with the most reward.

into the residential program was a struggle for me because I’m very family oriented and I like being in my space where I can fell safe,” Williams said. “But after a couple weeks of living here, I felt at home.”

Williams got pregnant with her son Anthony, who is now eight months old, the beginning of her senior year of high school. She was able to graduate with her high school diploma in December of 2017, a semester early.

Three months later, she gave birth.

In August, 12 days after her 18th birthday, she moved into Hope House residential.

“He’s freaking great,” Williams said of her son.

“I love him so much. He’s literally my happiness. He’s the one who makes me go for what I want. I’m making sure I can provide for him and be the best mom I can.”

Williams is in her first semester studying athletic training at Metro State University. As a three-sport athlete in high school with aspirations of playing volleyball in college, Williams saw athletic training as a good fit for a future career.

While at Hope House Williams takes advantage of the college and career readiness class, which allows her time to study, register for classes and meet with her biology tutor.

That class is one way Williams has been earning points for her trip to the Santa Shop.

She has her sights set on a walker for her son, who is close to taking his first steps.

Help at the Holiday Party Christmas can be extremely stressful for teen moms. This year Hope House will serve 180 teen moms, and nearly all of them live below the poverty line, making it close to impossible to purchase gifts for their children.

Hope House is looking for volunteers to help provide a delicious meal for its teen moms and their families at a Christmas Party 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 21, at Noah’s Event Center in Broomfield. For details on how you can help with food, contact theresa.mazza@ hopehouseofcolorado.org.

By the shop being based on points, Williams said she is able to get the things that she wants for her son to have a good first Christmas without having to stress about it.

“It makes me happy,” Williams said. “because I can do for him what my mom wasn’t able to do as a single mom of three kids.”

‘They don’t have the extra cash to purchase gifts. They purchase the essentials, but this is fun for them to be able to provide toys.’

Beyond providing terrific holiday atmosphere, there are some unique activities available for visitors: Pop the question in a winter wonderland The lights at places like the zoo and the Blossoms of Lights top most home displays, which makes them the perfect places to get engaged.

The zoo sees plenty of engagements, Anderson-Vie said, and Blossoms was the site of so many that it started an engagement package.

Interacting with the light The challenge with traditional activities is bringing people back with something new, and this year visitors will get to interact with the lights in different ways.

The lights at the Denver City and County Building are synced to a music show, which begins at 5:30 and 6:45 p.m. Those looking to get even more hands-on can volunteer to actually switch the lights on.

At Blossoms of Light, there’s an interactive light display set up in the theater that features a large field of sound-reactive, animated LED lights.

As Bird explains, the lights react to the tones of voice and of drums.

But the biggest change is at Chatfield Farms, where the Trail of Lights and its country approach has been replaced with a North Pole theme.

“Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there, and we’ll even have live reindeer,” Bird said. “Tickets also get you haymake their own sigils — a symbol believed to have magical powers — and practice chaos magick — a contemporary magical practice which emphasizes the pragmatic use of belief systems and adds in original or created belief systems.

Pointers for postal package preparation Good box, strong tape, clear address will help gifts arrive safely STAFF REPORT

The U.S. Postal Service has been busy making sure every sleigh is ready to go this holiday season. Postal workers are ready to deliver special gifts, and the postal service has some tips on how to box a package to help ensure the holidays come off without a snag.

First, select a sturdy box that is strong enough to protect the contents.

If you are reusing a box, totally remove or obliterate all previous labels and markings with a heavy black marker. The post office provides free Priority Mail boxes in a variety of sizes.

Make sure heavy items are in a sturdy box with heavy packing tape, and that no contents are shifting.

Place cushioning all around your item until you cannot hear it move inside when you shake it.

Use newspaper to stuff glass and fragile, hollow items such as vases to avoid damage. When mailing framed photographs, take the glass out of the frame and wrap it separately.

Remove batteries from toys.

Wrap and place them next to the toys in the mailing box. Keep new batteries in the original packaging.

In addition to packaging the items correctly, labeling is important when shipping a package. Make sure to use the proper address. Don’t guess. For correct spelling of city names and state abbreviations, or to find a zip code, go to www.usps.com.

Make sure addresses are clearly printed and that all address elements, such as apartment numbers and directional information (ex: 123 S. Main St. Apt. 2B), are included and clear.

Include both “to” and “from” information on packages, and only on one side.

Place a card inside the package that contains the delivery and return address.

This ensures the package can be delivered or returned should the mailing label become damaged or fall off.

Mark packages “Fragile” if the contents are breakable, and mark packages with food items as “Perishable.”

Finally, don’t use twine around your box. Use high quality 2-inch packaging tape.

You can pay for and print your postage at home using Click N Ship at usps.com, or you can stop by the post office.

The postal service has created a video on package preparation. To watch it, go to www.youtube.com/ watch?v=b4xGpzn2s5k.

Gun avoidance class gains popularity, teaches kids The Eddie Eagle GunSafe program will be held Dec. 16

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Arvada parent Josiane Broussard was nervous for her three-year-old daughter to take the Eddie Eagle GunSafe class because guns are not part of their family — they are out of her comfort zone.

But with the possibility of her daughter visiting other people’s homes and the steady stream of accidental shootings by youths, Broussard thought it was good to introduce some avoidance training with her daughter.

“The hard part for me was the fact that she, at 3-years-old has to learn about this,” Broussard said. “But I

know it’s safer for her to know what it is. It’s important that she would know to never touch it if she found one at someones house, at school, or on the playground.”

The Eddie Eagle GunSafe program is a gun accident prevention program developed by a task force made up of educators, school administrators, curriculum specialists, urban housing safety officials, clinical psychologists, law enforcement officials and National Rifle Association firearm safety experts. It began in 1988 with one mission: teach children four simple, easy to remember steps so they know what to do if they ever come across a gun.

In 2015 the NRA introduced a fresh, new Eddie and added some friends — his Wing Team. Though Eddie has evolved, his mission has not. In the brand new video, Eddie and his SEE CLASS, P21

Victor Woelfel, 8, shows off his Eddie Eagle completion certificate with his father, Jason.

friends remind children that if they see a gun, they need to Stop! Don’t touch. Run away. Tell a grown-up.

“The program teaches kids that guns a are dangerous and what they should do if they come upon a gun,” said Dwayne Nelson owner of WDN Firearms Training LLC and Eddie Eagle instructor. “We love and care about our kids that’s why we teach them not to run in a street or put hand on hot stove, but we seem to lack the enthusiasm of training them in the real world that has guns out there.”

Nelson teaches the gun avoidance class geared to youths under the age of 12 every couple months at the Arvada Library with co-instructor Harley McKinney and Aaron Torres, owner of Mtn. Range Armory in Arvada.

The class is free for parents and children to attend and all supplies and training are provided by the NRA. It is held at the library because of the familiarity that it brings to people and because the NRA discourages holding the class at a gun shop.

“You mention the NRA and people have opinions,” Nelson said. “But they don’t want Eddie Eagle to become political because it’s not about that, this is about the kids. Think what you will about the NRA, the bottom line is they’re saving kids’ lives with this program. You can’t let prejudices interfere because this is a gun avoidance program for children.”

Nelson said that the reality is many children have already been trained to pick up a gun, point it and pull the trigger because of what they have seen on TV and in movies and video games. His hope is that this program can retrain children to be respectful and weary of guns that are left out or that are found.

Rosier hopes to leave ‘good legacy’ as he moves on County GOP to appoint new commissioner when resignation takes effect

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jefferson County Commissioner Donald Rosier believes it is important for individuals to be engaged with the community in which they live.

So even after he assumes his role as general manager of the Sterling Ranch Community Authority Board and leaves his Jeffco post, Rosier will continue to be involved.

He will stay in his Littleton-area home in south Jefferson County, and he will continue to coach lacrosse, teach Sunday school and volunteer on community efforts such as park building.

But Rosier, 51, is looking forward to his new professional venture.

“It’s going to be brand-new — a learning experience,” Rosier said. “It will be a great opportunity for me to use both my experience in government and as a professional engineer.”

Rosier, a Republican, was elected to the county commissioner seat in 2010 when he ran against incumbent Kathy Hartman, a Democrat. He was re-elected to serve an additional four years in 2014, defeating Democrat John Flerlage and independent candidate

Jefferson County Commissioner Donald Rosier sits at his desk in his office in the Jeffco courts and administration building on Nov. 21. Rosier recently announced his intent to resign from his role as county commissioner to become the general manager of the Sterling Ranch Community Authority Board in Douglas County.

CHRISTINA STEADMAN Greg Standley. He would have been term-limited next year.

Rosier represents District 3 — the southern part of Jefferson County.

Sterling Ranch is a 3,400-acre community under construction in northwest Douglas County. At completion in 20 years, it is expected to have 33,000 people and 12,000 homes. The Sterling Ranch Community Authority Board offered Rosier the position in early November, and Rosier gave notice in mid-November of his intent to vacate the Jeffco commissioner seat.

Rosier said said his formal resignation will occur after the Sterling Ranch Community Authority Board officially appoints him to the position. He expects that to happen by the first part of December, with another person taking over the county commissioner role in January.

The Vacancy Committee of the Jefferson County Republican Party will choose someone to fill the seat.

The committee has set a deadline of 6 p.m. Dec. 12 for applicants to submit applications, said Steve Dorman, vice-

chairman of the Jefferson County Republican Party.

“From the received applications,” he said, “we will select best qualified people for face-to-face interviews.”

The vacancy committee hopes to have somebody named before Rosier’s official departure date, Dorman said.

That person will serve the county alongside Republican Libby Szabo, who is chair of the Board of County Commissioners, and Commissioner Casey Tighe, a Democrat.

Szabo is confident the transition will be smooth, she said in a press release.

“The Board of County Commissioners will continue to work on its many initiatives and remain committed to providing our citizens with the most effective and efficient services possible,” she said.

Election 2018 Whoever is selected would have to run for election to the seat in November 2018 if he or she were to want to continue in the position, Dorman said.

According to records on the Colorado secretary of state’s website, two people have registered to run for the seat in November. They are Lesley Dahlkemper, a Democrat who served four years on the Jefferson County Board of Education, and Tina Francone, a Republican who is the Regional Transportation District’s (RTD) SEE ROSIER, P23

director for District N, which includes Jefferson County.

Dahlkemper does not believe Rosier’s resignation will affect her race at all, and his decision to step down had nothing to do with her decision to run, she said.

Dahlkemper announced her run for the seat in early September and has “hit the ground running,” she said.

She has already been out talking with voters and meeting one-on-one with residents.

Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder Faye Griffin served as county commissioner for six years of the two four-year terms that she was elected for the seat. She left the county commissioner seat early to run for the clerk and recorder position — a role had previously held from 1999 to 2006.

“I wanted to continue serving Jeffco citizens, and due to the timing of the terms, it was the right decision,” Griffin said. “I grew up in the Clerk and Recorder Department where I was a staff member long before I was an elected official. This department is my true joy. I love serving Jeffco citizens is this capacity.”

Griffin, a Republican, was elected in November 2014 to serve a four-year term that began in January 2015.

Since Rosier is term limited, Griffin said she wasn’t sure if leaving the commissioner seat early would affect the election.

“What I do know,” Griffin said, “is that the county will be losing a great

‘Hopefully, I left a good legacy’ Rosier is a fifth-generation Coloradoan who grew up in Arvada. He and his wife, GeriAnn, have lived in the south Jefferson County area since 1992 and raised three children there.

Rosier worked in the private sector as a professional engineer for 25 years.

Before becoming a county commissioner, Rosier chaired the Community Development Advisory Board for eight years.

During his time as a county commissioner, he has served on 15 different boards and coalitions in various capacities. His committee assignments will be filled by whoever replaces him.

When citing some of his accomplishments as a county commissioner, Rosier notes his work on economic development, his fiscal management during a recession, his tenure with the Jefferson Parkway and being a part of the formation of the WestConnect Coalition.

He will miss being a part of the important discussions and policymaking that affect Jefferson County, he said. He admitted he would have liked to have served the county longer, and is considering serving on a community-related board or commission in Jeffco.

Being a county commissioner has required more dedication and hard work than any other job he’s had, Rosier said.

“But it’s been great,” he said. “Hopefully, I left a good legacy here in Jefferson County.”

Polls drive up interest, but are not all that accurate

Golden senior Joe Madsen (22) goes up strong for two of his 10 points during the Demons’ 51-44 victory over Holy Family on Nov. 30 at Golden High School. The Demons, the preseason No. 1 in the Class 4A boys basketball CHSAANow. com preseason poll, finished with a 2-1 record during the D’Evelyn/ Golden Preview Classic.

T

GOLDEN — Golden senior Joe Madsen took a calculated risk late in the fourth quarter Thursday night.

With less than a minute to play in the Class 4A boys basketball showdown between Golden and Holy Family — ranked No. 1 and No. 5 in the CHSAANow.com preseason poll — the Demons were hanging on to a 3-point lead. No. 5 Holy Family was clearly looking for a 3-pointer to tie the game, but Madsen had other plans.

“I saw him coming off a double-screen and once I get there I got the steal,” Madsen said of his steal and layup with 30 seconds to play that all but sealed the home victory. “All I had to do was finish the layup. Luckily I came away with it. If I didn’t it could have been bad.”

Top-ranked Golden pulled off a 51-44 victory in the season opener for both teams

he veracity of preseason basketball polls is often ridiculed.

Yes, polls mean little, since a lot will change during the season.

Polls are speculative, especially the preseason ones, and teams still have to prove themselves during games.

Teams seldom win OVERTIME by reputation alone.

Still, polls are interesting and popular.

CHSAANow.com released its preseason basketball polls Nov. 27 and there were plenty of area teams ranked Jim Benton in the Top 10.

Rock Canyon, buoyed by the return of its dynamic backcourt of Sam Masten and Tyson Gilbert plus three other returning regulars, was top-ranked in Class 5A. The Jaguars were state semifinalists last season.

Golden has seven seniors back from the 2017 state runners-up and the Demons were ranked No. 1 in the preseason 4A boys poll. The Demons lost to Valor Christian in the 2017 state title contest.

ThunderRidge, a semifinal team last season, was fifth in the 5A rankings and Chaparral eighth. Holy Family was fifth and Valor eighth in the first poll of the season.

Faith Christian, the Class 3A runner-up last season, was second and Lutheran eighth in the boys preseason poll.

Cherry Creek, a semifinalist a year ago, was second-ranked in the preseason Class 5A girls poll, with 2017 runner-up Lakewood fourth, Highlands Ranch fifth, Ralston Valley sixth, Horizon seventh and Castle View 10th. In the Class 4A preseason girls poll, Golden was fourth, Valor seventh, D’Evelyn eighth and Holy Family ninth. Lutheran was seventhranked in the 3A girls poll and Faith Christian 10th.

Polls are a source for debate all during the season. Coaches and players often say they don’t pay attention but almost everybody knows about teams that are ranked. One of the favorite chants for students is `overrated’ when a top-ranked team is struggling.

Ryan Casey oversees CHSAANow. com and summed up the attractiveness of polls that always create conversation.

playing well enough in the first half to stick around.”

Senior Jack Moore finished with a dozen points, while Madsen had 10 points. Sophomore Jack Anderson played a pivotal role too, forcing a turnover in the fourth quarter and finishing with 5 points.

“I know my teammates are going to cover my back and I’m going to cover their back,” Thistlewood said.

Holy Family’s season started where it ended in a way Thursday. The Tigers were the No. 5 seed in the 4A state tournament, but were upset on their home court in the Sweet 16 by the No. 12-seeded Demons.

Golden went on to win big against Pueblo South 71-39 on Dec. 1, before closing out the three-day tournament on Dec. 2 with a 67-4 loss at home against last year’s 4A state runner-up Lewis-Palmer.

“You want to be tested early,” Coach Anderson said. “Good-coached teams are always ready to play. We know there is a lot of things we need to tighten up and it doesn’t get any easier.”

in what was the first night of the D’Evelyn/Golden Preview Classic at Golden High School.

“First game of the season, everyone’s emotions are through the roof,” said Golden senior Adam Thistlewood, who finished with a game-high 23 points. “Getting the first win is just a stepping stone to a great season.”

It wasn’t a great start for the Drake University-commit.

Thistlewood couldn’t buy an outside shot throughout the game. Holy Family went on a 12-0 run in the first half, opening up a 27-21 halftime lead.

“Going into halftime we were more positive than anything. We weren’t down,” Madsen said. “We were just waiting for our moment to strike.”

Thistlewood got things going in the second half after the Demons had just four points in the second quarter.

He poured in 10 points in the third quarter to cut the Tigers’ lead to 36-33

John Anderson, boys basketball coach, Golden High School heading to the final quarter.

“The whole game was rough for me from the outside. At halftime I told myself if I wasn’t going to make a 3-pointer I’ll just shoot from 2-feet away,” Thistlewood said. “I told the coaches and my teammates to give me the ball inside and I’ll go to work.”

Holy Family’s junior trio of Adam Jolly, Kyle Helbig and Tanner Baird combined for 28 points on the night.

Baird hit a jumper with 2:44 left in the fourth quarter to give the Tigers a 4442 lead, but Golden finished the game

on a 9-0 run.

The Demons continued with their strategy of getting the ball inside.

Even when shots didn’t fall, Golden was able to get rebounds and eventually got fouled. After not making a trip to the free-throw line in the first half, the Demons finished 10-for-11 from the charity stripe in the second half.

“The key to the game is we started rebounding,” Golden coach John Anderson said. “This team has got to be a great rebounding team. We weren’t shooting well at all. We were just

BENTON FROM PAGE 26

“The polls are one of the most consistently read things on our website,” said Casey. “It’s about generating interest around high school sports. Polls make certain games, not more important, but bigger. It’s just like when you have two of the top-five teams playing, everybody knows. It doesn’t have any impact on post-season seeding ...”

Champion in Denver I remember years ago when working for the Rocky Mountain News that I was sent to Florida to cover the Daytona 500.

At the time I wondered if the editors knew we lived in Denver, Colorado, and not Denver, North Carolina.

However, I discovered just how popular NASCAR racing is. Martin Truex Jr. and Furniture Row Racing have made the sport even more prevalent in Denver, Colorado this season. Truex, driver of Furniture Row’s No. 78 Toyota, was in town Nov. 27 along with the NASCAR

Monster Energy championship trophy.

He dominated the regular season for the only team operating west of the Mississippi but he still had to survive the season’s last race on Nov. 19 at Homestead Miami Speedway to win the season championship.

It was tense during the waning laps as Truex held off Kyle Busch, one of the four winner-take-all finalists, to secure the championship. One of the coolest people during those closing laps was Golden resident Cole Pearn, who is Truex’s crew chief.

Pearn blocked out thoughts on a great season going to waste if Truex didn’t finish ahead of the other three finalists in NASCAR’s playoff format.

“We were really calm and tried to stay focused on what we needed to do and give Martin feedback of where Kyle was turning,” said Pearn. “I really didn’t feel too much emotion until there was about two laps to go. I started to think it was possible and then when he crossed the checkered flag, it was surreal.”

ABOUT THE TAXES How is marijuana taxed?

Excise taxes: Colorado levies a 15 percent excise tax on wholesale marijuana, which is the product before it is sold to customers.

Sales taxes: The state also imposes a 15 percent sales tax on retail marijuana as well as the regular 2.9 percent sales

tax on retail and medical marijuana. Local jurisdictions may levy their own sales taxes.

How much money comes to the Colorado Department of Education from marijuana taxes?

In 2015-16, marijuana tax revenue for the Colorado Department of Education was $86.3 million. That

number dropped to $54.2 million in 2016-17, but increased to $90.3 million in 2017-18. However, to put that into perspective, the marijuana tax revenue from 2017-18 was roughly 1.6 percent of the state’s K-12 education budget of $5.6 billion.
