MY NAME IS

KRISTEN MAY

Looking forward to exploring Colorado trails About me The City of Westminster has quite a bit of open space. Over 50 percent of the land in the city is preserved for open space, but beyond just preserving and acquiring that land, we also want to engage people in it. So (as the open space stewardship specialist for Westminster) I run a lot of those programs, including our volunteer program. That’s one of the fun parts of my job because I get to interact with residents, particularly those who are really excited about being outside.

I also run a lot of our events. This is my first year running Community Pride Day happening on May 13th. I’m pretty excited about it. We get over a 1,000 volunteers on that day to help

a mountain that only had low brush on it. And low brush in that part of the country means blueberry bushes. I like blueberry bushes, but so do bears.

I was walking along and had this “that’s a really big, fuzzy, brown butt” moment. This bear stood up on its hind legs, blueberry juice streaming down its face, and we had this eye contact. Then he turned and bounded off in the other direction.

It was really cool, really peaceful.

Why I love Westminster Our open space is really great.

Open space preserves the views of the Front Range, so even though the mountains are a little further away you can see them from almost anywhere in Westminster, and I think that really adds to the scenery. Also the people I’ve been working with are incredible. Sometimes it’s hard to drag yourself out of bed on a Saturday for work, but the moment I get there to the project and see their faces that’s what really makes it worth it.

Kristen May enjoys the mountain scenery and open spaces Westminster has to offer.

If I could go anywhere...

I’m actually leaving on vacation next month. We are going to be traveling to Paris, Bath and London. My husband and I have decided to try to hit all seven continents in seven years. The one I’m really looking forward to is hiking to base camp at Mount Everest.

Backpacking and bears I’m an avid backpacker. I through hiked the Appalachian Trail a few years ago. It took me five and half months. Somewhere in New Jersey, it was the middle of the summer, it was extremely hot; and I was waking up really early in the morning to try to get as many miles as I could in before the heat of the day.

It was dawn, and I was climbing up

Using generations to bridge housing gap Home sharing effort seeking volunteers to help seniors age at home

BY MEGAN M. CRUMLEY SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

A Metro Denver housing program seeks to pair people looking for an inexpensive place to stay with seniors who need a little help - financially and physically.

“A lady I talked to today was 90-years-old,” said Alison Joucovsky, executive director of Sunshine Home Share. “She bought her house in 1956.

It is worth so much money, she cannot afford the taxes. She’s looking at losing her house, that she’s lived in for 60 years, because she can’t pay the taxes.”

Sunshine Home Share opened in September 2016 with an idea: Seniors living in Metro Denver are finding it harder to stay in their homes due to rent increases, tax increases and the need for supportive services.

Joucovsky wanted to provide an option for seniors who were being forced from their homes. Sunshine matches an elderly home provider with a younger home seeker.

“This is not room rental. This is home sharing,” Joucovsky said. “This is somebody who is opening up their

Alison Joucovsky with Sunshine Home Share’s first home share match, renter Marty Holmes and homeowner Sally Collins. Holmes agreed to help Collins around the house and with errands in exchange for reduced rent.

COURTESY PHOTO home, they need supportive services, they want a relationship with the person who is coming in. We help set the parameters of what that relationship is.”

The home provider receives income and assistance from their younger renter. Assistance may include things like taking the home provider to the store or doctor and doing some cleaning and cooking. The home seeker receives a place to live at a reduced rent.

Both parties receive the companionship of each other.

Sunshine handles all the background work to make sure the home

seeker is a good candidate. Counselors help the home provider interview the candidates and work out the details so the home seeker knows exactly what is expected from them.

There are already 64 home share programs across the United States, but Sunshine is the first home share program in Colorado.

“Some of the home sharing programs have been around 30-40 years, and I use them,” Joucovsky said. “I reach out all the time to ask them questions about various situations.”

Sunshine’s goal is to make ten matches in 2017.

“It’s hard to hurdle the trust is-

sue,” admitted Joucovsky. “Being a house provider, what’s going to make them trust something that’s a new program? (We want) to let the home providers know that it is really safe, it is really slow, it is really thoughtful.

In the end, the decision is always up to the home provider who they want to live with.”

Sunshine is actively seeking both home providers and home seekers.

“We especially need seniors with houses,” Joucovsky said. “Without them, we cannot create matches or affordable housing.”

Sunshine also needs support from the community.

“One of the things we are struggling with is being a new non-profit, we are having a hard time securing funding. Most of that is because funders want to see stability, they want to see success,” Joucovsky said.

“We need people who believe in our program and want to donate and would be willing to help support us.”

Sunshine will be having its first fundraiser, A Pint and a Slice, on May 1st from 5-7 p.m. at Alpine Dog Brewery on Colfax and Ogden. Tickets are $15. Pre-purchase your tickets at sunshinehomeshare.org.

If you are interested in the home sharing program as either a home provider or home seeker, or if you would like to help support Sunshine, please contact Alison Joucovsky at 303.915.8264.

From left to right, are State Senator Beth Martinez Humenik, (R-Thornton), Adams County Commissioner Charles “Chaz” Tedesco (D), Brighton Mayor Richard McLean, and Northglenn Mayor Joyce Downing. A five-year foster child, before his formal adoption, Commissioner Tedesco knows the effects of foster care on children. “When 70% of women out of foster care are likely to be pregnant within the first year, and 50% of males within the first year likely to be incarcerated, through programs like this (CASA) and through the government agencies that we have here, we can make that change”, said Tedesco. “It’s the low hanging fruit. We just have to decide to put the money behind it.”

DUI death nets 16 year sentence STAFF REPORT

A man convicted of vehicular homicide in the death of a 40-year-old Westminster woman in 2016 will spend 16 years in prison, according to a Jefferson County jury.

Last month, Jurors sentenced 25 year old Jose Sandoval-Cruz to 16 years in prison for the Feb. 2016 vehicular homicide death of 40-year-old Monica Zapata.

Jurors had found Cruz guilty of

vehicular homicide, Driving Under the Influence, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident with death and driving without a license.

According to police, Sandoval-Cruz was speeding southbound on Sheridan Boulevard when he ran the red light at 80th SandovalAvenue and collided with Cruz Ms. Zapata’s car. Ms.

Zapata had been traveling westbound on 80th through the intersection on a green light.

Sandoval-Cruz was traveling 55 mph in a 40 mph zone, according to police.

After the collision, Sandoval-Cruz and his two passengers fled on foot but were arrested two hours later.

Ms. Zapata died from her injuries.

Her 15-year-old daughter, who was a passenger, was injured.

Mr. Sandoval-Cruz had a BAC over three times the legal limit.

School districts offer summer lunch program

BY TABATHA DEANS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Seven Adams County schools will extend their school lunch program into the summer months.

“The Summer Food Service Program ensures that children continue to have access to meals during the summer, when school is out,” said Molly Brandt, Director of Nutrition Services for Adams 12 Five Star School District.

Hunger Free Colorado, a statewide nonprofit organization that connects people to food resources, estimates that nearly one in five Colorado kids may not know when or where they will get their next meal. School lunches may be the only good meals these children get,

Family Owned, Family Run • Colorado Company for Coloradans • 31 Years and Running • Award Winning • Residential and Commercial • Dedicated Friendly Staff

and summer break can bring back the chances of them going hungry.

Adams 12 Five Star School District want to make sure none of their students go hungry, even during the summer break, Brandt said. The District administers the Summer Food Service Program, which serves breakfast and lunch to children ages one to 18 years old, at seven schools throughout the district area.

To participate in the program, children need to eat at one of the participating schools. Meals are free for every student, and adults can purchase a meal for themselves for $2.50-$3.75. The program runs from June 5 through July 21, with no meals offered July 4 in observance of Independence Day.

The program is federally funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Services.

Brandt said there has been no indication the program will be de-funded anytime soon, and they hope to get more parents and students to take advantage of the program.

“Our continued goal is to improve participation in the program each year,” Brandt said. “For 2017, summer food service is available at our highest participating sites across the district.”

Westminster School District and School District 27J are also offering summer meal programs, with Westminster partnering with the City of Westminster to include six additional sites around the city.

‘I LOST ALL OF THEM’

BY ALEX DEWIND | ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Portraits of Ethan, 5, and Adam, 3, teddy bears and blue gem stones — which the boys loved to treasure hunt for in the backyard — were displayed for guests at a memorial service at St. Philip Lutheran Church in Littleton on Dec. 6.

ALEX DEWIND

In a world of grief, Ryan Laber keeps memories of family close

A

t times, Ryan Laber feels as if he is drifting in the ocean.

Grief washes over him in waves, recedes, then comes in again.

Other times, he stands in a valley, staring at sheer cliffs encircling him, wondering how he will ever climb out.

“Losing all of your children and your spouse — that is a pretty earth-shattering thing,” he says.

Since his wife shot and killed their sons and then herself five months ago, the days flash back and forth between memories of life as it was and the reality of life as it is now. He is trying to move forward, wading through the sorrow, coming to terms with his wife’s depression and bipolar disorder, holding onto the joy his sons brought him.

“It’s this nonstop buzz of emotion,” Laber says.

“What you’ll find is that you’re just trying to look for tangible memories of the things you lost.”

Laber, 40, is a 6-foot-3 solidly-built man with a welcoming demeanor and a dimpled smile, a director in an electronics company whose life revolved around his family. The sadness in his brown eyes wells into tears when he remembers.

On Nov. 30, police found his wife of 12 years, Jennifer, 38, and their two sons, Adam, 3, and Ethan, 5, dead in the family minivan on an abandoned loading dock outside of a shuttered Sports Authority in Lone Tree. The Douglas County coroner determined the boys each died of a single gunshot wound and Jennifer from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Laber was upstairs in Ethan’s bedroom, where

he and Jennifer read bedtime stories to their sons, when he saw the police car pull up to their Highlands Ranch home later that day.

“I put my arms on his bed and I tried to talk to them.” But he knew they were in heaven.

• WHY WE WROTE THESE STORIES See page 14 for an editorial explaining the thought process behind this package.

•

On a March afternoon, Laber sits in a Highlands Ranch coffee shop, next door to Salsa Brava, a favorite Mexican restaurant of his sons. As he talks about their deaths and his grief, his eyes dart from his coffee cup to the room

around him.

The day his world shattered was Nov. 29.

Laber had left his work at Arrow Electronics in Centennial by 5 p.m. to make it home in time for dinner, as he did every evening. But their home was dark. Jennifer, Ethan and Adam were gone.

Confused, Laber started calling friends and family. He wondered if he had unconsciously said or done something to upset Jennifer, a stayat-home mom. He wondered if she had taken the boys and started driving to Minnesota, where they had lived until moving to Colorado two years ago. She had talked about wanting to move back.

What drives a parent to kill a child?

Experts point to a variety of reasons, a key one being mental illness

‘Part of the reason that the recent deaths of children at the hands of their own mothers captures our horrified attention is because it is so rare.’

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Every day, Stephanie Schmalz drives by Highlands Ranch on C-470 from her home in Morrison to her job in Lone Tree.

So when she learned in November that Jennifer Laber, a Highlands Ranch mother, had killed her two young sons and then herself, the tragedy stayed with her. It moved her to post a message on a Highlands Ranch Facebook page called Word of Mouth: “I didn’t know these kids. I didn’t know this mom. I do, however, know this mom’s heart. She was likely depressed, overwhelmed, feeling worthless, not measuring up to standards that she thought others have set for her — that the world has set for her.”

Her post received more than 600 likes and dozens of comments thanking Schmalz, a mother of three, for her words and extending compassion for the family involved.

“I feel like what I wrote is what people think about but don’t say,” Schmalz said. “It takes a village to raise kids — it takes a village to raise a family.”

Randi Smith, psychology professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver

Variety of reasons for ‘rare’ occurrence The Laber tragedy — followed two months later by a similar case involving another Highlands Ranch mother and her 10-year-old daughter — generated an outpouring on social media of compassion, shock and disbelief.

Many comments came from women, who although not in any way condoning — or understanding — the killings, expressed empathy for mothers who are struggling with stressors of everyday life or a mental illness such as depression.

The resounding questions became: How could this happen? Why the kids?

Even among mental health and forensic experts, there is no clear answer.

According to a 2014 study by Brown University in Rhode Island, over the past three decades U.S. parents have committed filicide — the act of a parent killing his or her child — about 500 times every year. Seventy-two percent of the children killed were age 6 or younger. One-third were infants.

Ten percent of children killed were between 7 and 18 years old.

When a parent also kills himself or herself, the act is referred to as filicidesuicide.

Filicide is rare: About 74 million children from infancy to 17 years old live in the United States, according to the U.S. Census. The average number of filicide cases has stayed at about 500 a year for

He called the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office at about 8 p.m. Deputies came to his house, took down information and sifted through credit card transactions. The Glock 9mm semiautomatic handgun that Jennifer had purchased earlier that day had not yet shown up.

Laber went to bed at about midnight. He slept, somehow knowing he would need energy for the next day.

He awoke at 5:30 a.m., and soon after, a neighbor called, asking if he had seen the news. Police had discovered three bodies in a van near the old Sports Authority in Lone Tree. Helicopters circled over the scene.

Laber immediately called the sheriff ’s department. He was told there wasn’t enough information yet.

“That was code for `we are worried about you hurting yourself and we are not going to tell you anything,’ ” Laber remembers thinking. “That’s when it sunk in.”

Four months later, Laber still doesn’t understand what went wrong.

Friends and family of Jennifer didn’t see signs. Her behavior hadn’t changed. Looking back, Laber believes that she had been planning her suicide for months and reached a point of calm in knowing her life would soon end.

The sorrow is overwhelming. But, he

After the tragic loss of his wife and two sons, Ryan Laber passed out blue stones at a celebration of life gathering at O’Brien Park in Parker on Dec. 3. His sons loved to treasure hunt, he said, especially for blue gem stones in the backyard.

ALEX DEWIND says, he is not angry: His wife was ill.

Ryan and Jennifer met in Minnesota, where they both grew up. Ryan, 26 at the time, was out to dinner with work clients at a restaurant. Jennifer, then 24, was at the same restaurant with friends. They met, dated for two years and married in September 2005.

Shortly after, Jennifer was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and depression, Laber says. She was hospitalized more than once in her late 20s following a suicide attempt.

It was the first time Laber had ex-

perienced mental illness in someone close to him. And, at first, it angered him, coming so soon after their marriage. One time, after visiting her, he pounded so hard on the armrest in his two-door sports car that it broke.

“It was at that point in time that I recognized that I couldn’t sit there and tolerate it,” he says. “I had to do something differently.”

Laber reached out to his pastor, who coached him into redirecting his anger. He started going to therapy with Jennifer and attending classes to learn about mental illness.

Eventually, Jennifer learned to manage the depression and bipolar

the past 30 years, though the population of the country has grown.

According to Randi Smith, a psychology professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver, when parents cause their children’s deaths it’s more likely to be accidental or, in some cases, part of an ongoing pattern of child abuse.

“Part of the reason that the recent deaths of children at the hands of their 1 own mothers captures our horrified at- a tention is because it is so rare,” Smith e said.

Reasons for filicide range from murders committed out of “love” — described as altruistic killings — to child abuse and neglect, but mental illness often stands at the forefront.

That’s especially true in cases of the killing of a toddler or adolescent, who has formed an attachment with the parent, said Phillip Resnick, an internationally known forensic h psychiatrist and professor c at Case Western Reserve i University in Ohio.

“Killing children once i their role is established i in the family would be an J Resnick extreme measure,” said v g Resnick, who has studa ied filicide for 50 years. “It wouldn’t be done casually or incidentally — it t would require some extreme forces p coming together.” c p SEE PARENTS, P10

disorder with medication and lifestyle changes. The couple felt stable enough to think about starting a family and Ethan and Adam were born a few years later.

“We reached a point, years ago,” Laber told mourners at a Dec. 2 vigil, “where the darkness had subsided for a family to be born.”

The family’s move to Colorado was prompted by a job opportunity for Laber at Arrow Electronics. Though they were leaving close friends and family, Laber and Jennifer saw it as a fresh start.

The family moved to an apartment in Parker before settling in a home in a kid-friendly cul-de-sac neighborhood of Highlands Ranch.

Life was easy, simple, with a happy flow from day to day.

Laber made it home for dinner every weeknight. He and his sons loved to wrestle. He and Jennifer took turns cooking.

On Saturdays, Laber woke up with the boys while Jennifer slept in. They made chocolate chip pancakes. Saturday nights, the four of them went out to dinner, then came home to watch movies on the couch. It was a family ritual.

Jennifer was kind and caring with the boys, consistent about teaching good manners. A vegetarian, she encouraged the boys to eat healthy. She instilled a love for cuddling.

‘Grief is unique — there is no one box-fits-all’ Therapist talks about importance of working through grieving process

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Linda Coughlin Brooks lost her 17-year-old daughter nearly 20 years ago, when she died unexpectedly from epilepsy in her sleep.

Brooks, a therapist who knows the grieving process all too well, has since dedicated her life to helping others.

“I help someone who doesn’t know if they want to live or die,” said Brooks, sitting in Brooks her Greenwood Village office. Photos honoring her patients’ loved ones who have died cover the walls. “I help them reengage in life.”

A former nurse of 37 years, Brooks is certified in death and grief studies. In her private practice, the Grief Journey, she provides care for individuals and families experiencing grief, loss and life transitions, such as a divorce.

She also serves as the regional director of Compassionate Friends, a nonprofit organization with more than 700 chapters across the United States for parents who have lost a child.

MANY EXPERIENCE MENTAL ILLNESS

WHERE TO FIND HELP

One in five adults nationwide experiences a mental illness, according to the National Association of Mental Illness. One in 25 lives with a more serious mental illness, such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

Half of all chronic mental illness begins by the age of 14 — three-quarters by the age of 24, the association reports.

About 2.6 percent of adults live with bipolar disorder. And almost 7 percent of American adults live with major depression, the leading cause of disability worldwide, the National Institute of Mental Health reports.

Nearly 60 percent of adults with a mental illness didn’t receive mental health services in the previous year, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has found.

Research says that individuals experience grief in five stages: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. But Brooks said that grief is not linear — the experience is different for every individual.

She saw a patient one time for the loss of a dog, a companion. She saw a patient for nearly two years for the loss of a mother.

“Grief is unique,” she said. “There is no one box-fits-all.”

He sees the boys’ playset in the backyard, the toys in their rooms and the clothes in their closets. Jennifer’s clothes hang in his closet. Her jewelry box rests on the dresser. A pan inscribed with Laber and Jennifer’s names sits in the kitchen.

To honor them and be reminded always, Laber printed and hung photos of Jennifer, Adam and Ethan all over the house. Everywhere he looked, they were there.

guilt, and provides resources, such as support groups. Coming to terms with guilt and regret can shift the focus from how a person died to how they lived.

And being around peers who have experienced loss and moved forward in life can instill a sense of hope in a grieving individual, Brooks said.

The goal, she said, is “to see someone choose life, choose reengagement in a productive way.”

One day, he opened their urns, wanting to touch their ashes. Overcome with emotion, he collapsed. Mentally and physically exhausted, he stayed on the couch for the rest of the day.

“You want to expose yourself to those feelings,” he says, “but sometimes you push too hard.”

Often, phone calls and check-ins from family members and friends become less frequent as time goes on, as life goes on. But mourning loss is not a journey that an individual can do on his or her own, Brooks said. It requires a safe environment where the individual can honor and work through his or her grief.

In her practice, Brooks listens, normalizes the feelings associated with grief, such as anger, regret and

Ethan would seek out the kid on the playground who was alone and play with him or her. Adam, big for his age, was a defender of people. Though he was two years younger than Ethan, they weighed the same. Their favorite activity was treasure hunting for the blue glass gems the family hid in the backyard.

Everything seemed to be going the right way for a young family, Laber says.

They kept in contact with friends and family in Minnesota. They had a decent home, great neighbors, good schools.

These days, when he has the energy, he spends a couple of hours sorting through his family’s belongings. A friend who lost a loved one told him to take down some of the photos on the walls, so he did, and it helped.

In his grieving, Laber has connected with others who have lost a child, a spouse, a close friend.

But he finds his situation is different: “I lost all of them.

It’s not like I could even be grateful for something that was still left.”

The faith community, friends, family and coworkers have helped him on his road to healing, he says.

Pastors from four churches reached out to him — he has relied heavily on his faith.

People flooded his Facebook and mailbox with messages

and letters. Neighbors, family and friends have continually been by his side. He sees medical professionals and attends support groups to help him cope.

He could have shut out the world, Laber says, but he knew that would have led him to depression.

Instead, he lets the grief pass through him, following the path of others who have experienced a devastating loss.

“I invited them all in to share with me where they found the footholds,” he says.

“I take different pieces from what I understand from different people.”

Laber is unsure if he will stay in his house. Once a place of memories, he says, it is becoming a house of ghosts.

He knows he will never let go of Adam, Ethan and Jennifer. To remember Jennifer, he would like to join forces with an existing statewide organization on suicide prevention.

To honor his boys, he would like to work with an organization for parents who have lost children.

The future remains too murky to see.

But he is certain of one thing: He would like, someday, to be a husband and father again.

PARENTS FROM PAGE 8

In a 2005 study of 30 filicide-suicide cases published by the Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law — written

by Resnick and four other authors — 70 percent of the motives were identified as murders committed out of “love” to relieve the real or imagined suffering of the child.

The second most prevalent reason was acute psychosis, such as schizophrenia, which can cause delusions.

That was the case for LaShuan Harris, a 23-year-old who, in 2005, dropped her three boys, ages 6, 2 and 16 months, into San Francisco Bay. Harris, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, believed she was listening to God and sending her children to heaven. She was found criminally insane and sentenced to a psychiatric hospital.

Other motives of filicide have included mistreatment, such as child abuse resulting in death; having an unwanted child; and revenge against a spouse.

In March, a Chicago father shot and killed his twin daughters. According to national media outlets, police dispatch heard the father tell his wife he wanted her to live and suffer before shooting her in the leg — she survived — and then shooting and killing himself.

Michael Karson, a clinical psy-

April 27, 2017A chologist at the University of Denver, cited a variety of reasons for filicide, including an “end-ofthe-world” psychosis, when a parent feels that he or she is trying to spare their child from what is to come.

Postpartum depression, a hormonal imbalKarson ance that can affect new mothers following childbirth, can be a cause in rare instances, Karson said.

In instances of postpartum psychosis, the mother most likely has a history of bipolar disorder or schizoaffective disorder, a mental disorder characterized by symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorder, according to a 2016 report of filicide in the United States authored by Resnick and published in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry.

That was the case for Andrea Yates, who was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the 2001 drowning of her five children. The Texas woman reportedly experienced severe postpartum depression and psychosis. She is now in a state mental hospital.

Postpartum psychosis occurs in about one out of 1,000 new mothers, as opposed to the two or three out of 100 new mothers who might experience postpartum depression, a common and treatable malady, Resnick said. But, he emphasized, “most people with postpartum de-

pression don’t go on to harm their child or commit suicide.”

In some altruistic filicide cases, the report in the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law says, the parent was depressed and considered the children’s deaths as extended suicides rather than homicides.

The study found that parents who killed their children and themselves overall appeared to have high rates of mental illness.

Smith echoed that finding.

Filicide-suicide scenarios, such as the two recent cases involving mothers and their children in Highlands Ranch, she said, usually occur in the midst of a deep depression with psychotic features or in the midst of a bipolar episode.

After the death of his wife and two sons, Ryan Laber publicly spoke of his wife’s battle with depression and bipolar disorder. Jennifer Laber, 38, was diagnosed in her mid20s after a suicide attempt, he said.

Her autopsy revealed that she had bipolar-disorder medication in her system at the time of her death.

According to the police report, Cristi Benavides, 40, the Highlands Ranch woman who was found dead with her daughter, Emma, in February, had a history of post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety.

‘Things pass, things get better’ How to prevent such tragedies is the challenge.

World Psychiatry, an office

journal of the World Psychiatric Association, suggests that psychiatrists should assess filicide risk in a systematic way, as they do for suicide, by asking questions about childrearing practices, parenting problems and feelings of being overwhelmed — and then provide steps to ensure the safety of all involved.

And although many resources exist for those contemplating suicide, Karson wonders whether a parent thinking of filicide would admit to those thoughts.

“How,” he asked, “can we arrange a world in which a person in that situation would tell someone?”

Several mental health and education experts also say establishing connections for parents to community and the support that can be found there — whether personal or professional — is key.

“Many people can profit from talking with mental health care professionals, experiencing support and seeing how to change situations so that they can manage stress more productively,” said Judith Fox, associate professor of the University of Denver Graduate School of Professional Psychology.

Psychology experts agree that in many filicide-suicide cases the parent acts on impulse.

“Things pass, things get better,” Karson said. “All the lost opportunities — if they could just get past that impulse.”

Growing greenhouse gives Westminster a green thumb City operation behind city all plantings from seeds to flowers CINDY J. BUECHLER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

You could say Westminster’s greenhouse operation is growing.

What started as a modest operation in a small Quonset house at the old City of Westminster parks shops in the early 1980s expanded to a 3,200 square foot greenhouse leased at Front Range Community College - with more than 14,000 annuals grown for the city - just a few years later.

Today, the city’s operation produces 40,000 annuals, 700 poinsettias and even more perennials that will soon decorate Westminster parks, arcades and open spaces.

“We have over 26,000 plants that were started from seed this year,” said Keith Stieduhar, Greenhouse Crew Leader. “We have the ability to choose more plants from the seed catalog and the majority of what is grown also supports pollinators.”

The operation is also responsible for growing the indoor plants in Westminster’s city buildings. The city even leases space for the City of Northglenn and grows plants for

pollination and food for insects and animals in and surrounding Westminster’s Butterfly Pavillion.

“Butterflies like to stand on flowers, so they prefer plants like yarrow and butterfly weed,” said Horticulture Specialist Shalene Hiller.

It’s a year-round, self-propagating operation. Seeds gathered from current gardens are used to start seedlings for the next year, bolstering the supply purchased from seed suppliers.

“Additional perennial plants are created through cutting and propagation as well,” said Stieduhar.

Once roots are established they are transplanted to larger pots where they continue to grow until they are ready to be planted. There is a total of 129 individual flower beds that are planted and maintained each year.

“The plants we started from seeds to seedlings will be ready for planting on May 15 this year,” Stieduhar said. “We currently have 40 locations and some of those have multiple flower beds.”

The greenhouse provides greater flexibility in choosing flower varieties and the staff has better control of crop timing, Stieduhar said. It’s a money saver, too, since the cost of plants is lower and there is a higher quality of plants produced.

“We began using paper pots last

year, “ said Stieduhar. “These pots decompose into the earth. The roots aren’t disturbed, so there is less transplant shock and it saves time with planting.”

All the work is performed by the greenhouse staff of two full-time greenhouse workers and six seasonal summer workers.

Stieduhar and his crew grow the plants through the winter into when they start preparing the flower beds for planting. Through spring, summer and fall they plant the flowers in the greenhouse while maintaining the beds around the city. The poinsettia crop, not needed until the holidays, is started in July.

There is an increased pride and sense of ownership in the process as the greenhouse workers begin the process in January and February, he said.

Westminster Greenhouse crew leader Keith Stieduhar and Horticulture Specialist Shalene Hiller stand outside the city’s plant growing operation.

The city greenhouse is responsible for growing more than 26,000 plants that will soon decorate the city’s public spaces.

Summit looks at Metro North progress

BY KEVIN M. SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

A May summit of municipal leaders along the Boulder-Denver Turnpike will show off how far their communities have come.

The Sustainable Transportation Summit will be Wednesday, May 3, from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Denver Marriott Westminster, 700 Church Ranch Blvd.

The meeting, which carries a $110 ticket price for members of Commuting Solutions and a $135 ticket for nonmembers, is open to the public, private businesses and local government leaders to learn more about sustainable transportation growth options,

according to Audrey DeBarros, executive director of Commuting Solutions, a transportation consultancy group focusing on the US 36 corridor between Denver and Boulder.

“We really want to showcase all the significant progress we as a region have made on multimodal transportation,” DeBarros said in an interview.

The summit will highlight lessons learned from the U.S. Highway 36 Bus Rapid Transit project and explore future shared-use mobility, transportation technology and environmental planning, a news release from Commuting Solutions stated.

“Our region is nationally recognized for the success of the U.S. 36 Bus Rapid

Transit project,” DeBarros said in the release. “We want to share the lessons we’ve learned and provide resources for other communities to replicate our success.”

Westminster Mayor Herb Atchison will be among the featured speakers in the first session to talk about the U.S. 36 Bus Rapid Transit project.

Atchison said transportation is a growing issue and he is closely watching House Bill 1242 in the Colorado Legislature. The bill would place a question on the November ballot for a 0.62 percent, 20-year sales tax to fund transportation infrastructure improvements. As of April 11, the Senate Committee on Transportation had looked

at the bill and referred an amended version to the state legislature’s Committee on Finance.

Atchison said he wants to talk about the bill and the need for transportation funding during the May 3 summit.

The rail corridor is on the right track but needs to continue moving forward, he said.

“How do we get the next segment without funds in the RTD budget?” he asked rhetorically.

Other featured speakers include the executive director of the Colorado Department of Transportation, the general manager of RTD, a Boulder County commissioner and general managers from Lyft and Uber, among others.

Keeping an ear to the ground at Everitt Farms

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Spring is the time when farmers get back out into their fields to start planting the year’s crops.

But U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet is planting seeds for the next Farm Bill in 2018 by hosting listening sessions with his staff throughout the state.

On a quintessential spring morning of April 7, Derek and Kamise Mullen, owners and operators of Everitt Farms, hosted members of Bennet’s staff, as well as representatives from such groups as LiveWell Colorado, the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union and Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust.

“It’s very early in the process on the Farm Bill, but Bennet thought it was important to get farmers’ thoughts before they get back into the fields,” said Lee Swenson, Bennet’s senior adviser on Colorado rural policy.

The event gave the Mullens the chance to highlight their approach to urban gardening and share why they embraced the agricultural lifestyle.

“Our mission here is return to our traditional urban roots through farming and food,” Derek Mullen told the about 20 people in attendance.

“We have six kids, and trying to feed our whole family a wholesome diet wasn’t working,” Kamise Mullen added. “If we couldn’t do it, how could anyone else?”

The Farm Bill governs the country’s

national food and farm policy, including crop insurance, nutrition and conservation, and is typically reauthorized every five years. Lawmakers in the House and Senate agriculture committees, including Bennet, are beginning to develop the next Farm Bill before the current measure expires in late 2018.

The session at Everitt Farms, and the others Bennet is hosting around the state, are an opportunity for stakeholders to have their thoughts heard.

During the session, people spoke about the challenges of getting water, the support needed for small farms, access to grant money and the importance of staying active.

“It needs to start with this group,” said Bill Midcap, director of external affairs with the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union. “We all need to be calling our legislators and letting them know how important agriculture and farming is.”

Alex Funk, policy analyst and staff attorney at the National Young Farmers Coalition, also highlighted the importance of supporting the next generation of farmers.

If there was one message Bennet’s staff could take away from the session, it was that farming and agriculture is vibrantly alive and vitally important.

“Farms produce more than food, and we need to think about that,” said Erik Glenn, executive director with the Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust. “Farms also produce clean air and water — the things we rely on here in the city to live a sustainable life.”

U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet’s staff hosts a listening session on the reauthorization of the Farm Bill at Lakewood’s Everitt Farms on April 7. People interested in farming and agriculture attended to share their thoughts.

Our thought process behind this week’s special report

O

n Nov. 30, Jennifer Laber was found dead with her two sons, ages 3 and 5, in the family minivan outside a closed Sports Authority. Just two months later, on Jan. 30, Cristi Benavides and her 10-yearold daughter were found dead in the basement of a home.

In both instances, law enforcement authorities determined the mothers had killed their children, and then themselves. Both families lived in the Douglas County community of Highlands Ranch, one of the more than 20 towns, cities and counties that Colorado Community Media covers.

The tragedies devastated family members, neighbors and school communities and generated an outpouring of comments on social media. There was compassion for all involved. But there also was shock and disbelief: Why would a parent kill his or her child?

Because the tragedies occurred in such proximity to each

other, and because one of our communities was struggling with the ensuing grief, we thought it important to try to understand why this happened and to put these cases in context of issues surrounding them. Those stories are packaged as a special report in this week’s editions, on our communities’ websites and at coloradocommunitymedia.com.

Reporter Alex DeWind spent weeks researching and reporting to find answers to the why. She found that the act of a parent killing his or her child is rare. And that the reasons are varied, but that mental illness is at the forefront. In both of these instances, family members and law enforcement say depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder were present.

One in five adults experiences a mental illness; one in five children ages 13-18 has, or will have, a serious mental illness. It’s time to talk about the issue and make sure resources and support systems exist to help. In conjunction with Mental Health Awareness month in May, a new public health campaign called “Let’s Talk Colorado” gets underway. The campaign, supported by a coalition of agencies led by Tri-County Health Department, focuses on eliminating the stigma around mental illness so that those who need the help will seek it. Look for our story next week about the campaign.

SEE GRIEF, P15

A call to Colorado’s governor to help defend our state hese are perilous times. A day does not go by when I don’t worry about what sort of senseless executive action will come out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

I am horrified at the values President Trump laid out in his budget. I am horrified by his GUEST immigration ban. I am horrified by how COLUMN he chooses to divide Americans on almost every issue that he can.

As an elected House member, it is my job to fight back on issues that negatively affect our brothers and sisters Joe Salazar here in Colorado. I ask Governor Hickenlooper to join me and stand up to this President and fight keep our families safe and healthy.

Governor Hickenlooper has been presented with many opportunities to lead and has made some statements that give us hope - hope that when the rubber hits the road, Governor Hickenlooper will stand with Colorado’s immigrant communities and do whatever he can to make sure that families are not torn apart and good people who have been contributing to the fabric of our lives here in Colorado will not summarily be whisked away in the dead of night.

LET’S TALK ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS

To not defend our immigrant neighbors and friends is to not defend our state. We are a state and country of immigrants. Colorado must unite to oppose the President’s executive orders and the recent memos on immigration enforcement because we are Colorado. The famous words of Desmond Tutu ring true: “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”

Immigrant families and neighbors are living in fear now more than ever.

However, in one area President Trump’s actions are setting our nation on a course that may be impossible to correct. I am speaking to his actions to roll back the progress we have made in protecting our rivers, open spaces and air; his actions that will reverse the progress we have made on the damaging effects of global warming.

Climate change is real. It is not fake science. It is not a hoax perpetrated by the Russians. We must fight environment justice.

Latino communities suffer disproportionate impacts from pollution, including increased rates of asthma and respiratory disease. Environmental justice is a constant fight and we need Governor Hickenlooper to lead on climate change and air pollution.

Hope that Westminster Public Schools fared well on their D-Day

D

-Day arrived on Monday, April 24th for the Westminster Public School District.

Unless there was a continuance or a settlement accepted between the school district and the Colorado Department of Education Board of CROSS Directors, there was CURRENTS to be a hearing on the district’s appeal on the state board’s previous classification decision of “Priority Improvement” (Year 6) on the district’s overall academic achievement.

The school Bill Christopher district contends that the rating should be a less severe “Improvement” rating.

The school district submitted its 19-page written appeal on February 7 in preparation for the hearing which had originally been scheduled for March 8.

One can speculate that the additional six-plus weeks has provided time to negotiate a “middle ground” solution between the district and the state Education Commissioner who reports to the state board. Based on earlier state board actions involving other low performing districts, socalled sanctions have been mild.

I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if WPS is granted “Innovation” status which extends the time line and ways to improve.

Not a “one size fits all” decision Hopefully, the State Board of Education will have heard, understood and honored the merits of the Westminster district’s arguments.

While there are numerous other Colorado school districts which have higher percentages of students who qualify for the free or reduced lunch program than Westminster’s 81 percent, experience higher mobility of students moving in and out of the district in a given school year than Westminster’s 22 percent and have the challenge of many second language learners, the key argument in the district’s appeal is the use of a Competency Based System to measure student progress.

The state board needs to come to grips with Competency Based Systems and not remain locked into a “one size fits all” academic classification system. The Westminster district is the first in the state to blaze a trail using this system and should not be punished for using it. It will be interesting to learn of the CDE Board’s decision.

budget. While both legislative houses have passed the initial recommended budget presented by the Joint Budget Committee, the devil is in the details to finalize the budget.

At the time of writing this column, there is a stand-off between the two houses. By the time you read this column, there will be 16 days left in the legislative session. While the budget committee has submitted a balanced budget, it was at the expense of certain interests (this is not a surprise as budget making priority setting is viewed from the eye of the beholder).

Rural hospitals would be put in jeopardy via the budget committee’s recommendations as hospital fee revenues were cut on purpose to come under the TABOR revenue limits and avoid taxpayer refunds (I wrote about this poor approach in my April 6 column).

K-12 school funding and transportation funding are also at issue. This year’s version of the School Finance Act - which spells out each district’s state funding - is being held up by the Republican Senate.

Until these issues are resolved, it would appear that the legislators are playing against the clock. I have always disliked the 11th hour approach to setting policy and passing legislation. Like they say, it looks and smells too much like making sausage!

FROM PAGE 14

Worthy legislation regarding future students Speaking of Colorado schools, there is an encouraging bill which would prioritize the overhaul of the state’s education system.

House Bill 1287 has passed the House and now will go through the lcommittee process in the Senate. The bill calls for the creation of a legislative steering committee to develop a strategic plan to keep Colorado students competitive in a rapidly changing economy.

The committee would focus on “the knowledge and skills that students in the graduating class of 2030 will need to compete economically on the global basis,” per the bill.

The bill would mandate conducting research on high-performing education systems in other states and countries to compare how Colorado stacks up and glean new approaches.

Input from teachers, parents and other interested groups would be a responsibility of the committee.

While the bill lacks specifics, its intent is worthy of support. As funding and change are constant challenges for Colorado K-12 public education, it behooves the state to make this a priority.

To ensure we presented this sensitive topic appropriately, we followed the media resource guide compiled by the World Health Organization and the International Association for Suicide Prevention to help journalists cover suicide, along with other guidelines for reporting on homicides.

We worked not to sensationalize the stories, to explain in context the reasons that could lead to these tragedies and to find sources with knowledge and authority on the issue. We hope the stories spotlight the importance of public community discussion on mental illness and the need for support systems.

appeal to home school

Benefits, challenges of parents who teach their kids

HOME-SCHOOL PROGRAMS The Home School Connection offers group-setting classes for home-schooled children in grades kindergarten through sixth. Students may attend one class a week. Subjects include performing arts, creative writing, science and physical education. Locations are in Westminster, Lakewood and Evergreen.

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ecause of her experience as a student in public schools, Ashley Maes decided to homeschool her 7-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter.

“When I was in school, I never felt challenged,” the Littleton resident said. “I was present in school but not participating, and I felt like I could do more for my children.”

She continues to home-school because of the freedom it provides — her family isn’t restricted to a school-day schedule and her kids can explore their passions and interests, Maes said.

Maes’ decision to home-school reflects a trend that has significantly grown over the past two decades.

In 1999, there were about 850,000 home-schooled students ages 5 through 17 in the United States, according to a household education survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics. That number jumped to an estimated 1.1 million students in 2003 and an estimated 1.5 million students in 2007, the most recent year of the survey.

In Colorado, 7,659 students were registered with public school districts as home-schooled in 2016, up from 6,462 students in 2010, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

Douglas County School District currently has 509 home-schooled students, the district reports. In fall of 2016, according to records from the Colorado Department of Education, Jefferson County Public Schools had 436 home-schooled students and Adams 12 Five Star Schools had 313. All of the districts’ home-school counts have increased since 2010.

Families home-school for a number of reasons. Considered the most important are religious or moral instruction, concern about the school environment and dissatisfaction with academic instruction at other schools, the survey by the U.S. Department of Education reported.

Colleen Sprister, of Sedalia, wanted her four children, ages 7, 9, 11 and 13, to have a Christ-based education.

Private school was not in her family’s budget, so she and her husband decided to home-school.

Sprister’s children are enrolled in Classical Conversations, an international home-school program with an emphasis on classical learning and Christianity. They work in group settings one day a week with other

For more information, call 720-289-9230 or email info@wwahomeschool.org.

Two Roads is a K-12 charter school that offers home-school programs at its two campuses — 6980 Pierce St., Arvada, and 5890 Alkire St., Littleton. Home-school students are required to take a minimum of 6.25 hours of classes per week on campus.

For more information, call the Arvada campus at 303-423-3377 or the Littleton campus at 720-425-6163.

The Academy Charter School, based in Castle Rock, offers a home-school program with curriculum, lessons and classes for homeschooled students in Castle Rock, Lone Tree and Parker. The program is tuition-free with a small cost for materials.

For more information, visit academycharter. org/home-school.

FAST FACTS Home school programs must have no less than 172 days of instruction, averaging four hours a day.

Colleen Sprister, a resident of Sedalia, home schools her four children, ages seven, nine, 11 and 13. She made the decision because she wanted her kids to have a Christbased education. “I get to see my kids through the good and the struggles everyday ,” she said, “and we get to work through it as a family.”

COURTESY PHOTO Classical Conversations students from Castle Rock, Parker and Elizabeth.

The other four days, they work on assignments at home.

Her kids also participate in recreational activities, such as gymnastics and football, and work on their family’s small-scale farm.

Home schooling has strengthened the relationship of her family, Sprister said.

“I get to see my kids through the good, the struggles, every day, and we get to work through it as a family,” she said.

Like Classical Conversations, many resources provide curriculum for families who home-school. Programs are offered online or as an extension of a public or charter school. Some are free; others have a fee for curriculum and material.

When a parent or legal guardian decides to home-school a child, they take on the responsibility for the student’s education, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

That includes providing curriculum, books, supplies and tests and maintaining permanent records. That also includes making sure the student has at least 172 days of instruction a year in basic subjects, such as reading, writing, math, history, science and others.

For Maes, taking on the role of a teacher has been challenging. Keeping her kids focused and interested can be difficult, she said.

“It’s hard being with your kids all the time and getting them motivated,” Maes said. “Because you’re Mom, they feel like they can argue with you.”

Another challenge that some homeschool families face is being labeled with stereotypes, such as socially awkward or sheltered.

Maes had concerns about socialization when she first started homeschooling her children, she said. But she no longer worries about that. Her children interact with others when they are out running errands. They play with kids in their neighborhood,

Students in a home-school program must have academic progress evaluated in grades 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.

Home schooling is considered nonpublic and is not regulated by the state of Colorado. The parent who oversees the homeschool program is responsible for obtaining and paying for books, supplies and tests.

Home-school resources vary because programs can be purchased from private companies or the parent or guardian can create the curriculum.

Source: Colorado Department of Education kids on their sports teams and students at the charter school they attend one day a week.

“I used to be terrified that they would be hermits,” Maes said. “They are learning to interact with a variety of age groups.”

Maes isn’t sure if she will homeschool her children through high school. She is taking it year by year.

For now, the positives outweigh the negatives.

“The relationship I am developing with them is different,” Maes said, “and I’m treasuring that because I won’t get that time back.”

Spending the summer with live music

I

f there’s a better part of summer than music under the stars, I don’t know what it is.

Colorado has no shortage of picturesque locations LINER for summer concerts, and while evNOTES eryone is well aware of places like Red Rocks, many more intimidate venues exist that provide a lovely setting for some classic acts.

The Denver Botanic Gardens, Arvada Center and Hudson Clarke Reader Gardens in Littleton have concert lineups that are shining jewels.

“What makes a good concert series is a mix of the new with the familiar,” said Barry Osborne, marketing manager with Swallow Hill Music, which puts on the concerts at the Botanic Gardens and Arvada Center. “We want these experiences to be like relaxing in your backyard, listening to some-

To find the Denver Botanic Gardens Summer Concert Series, call 1-877-435-9849 or visit concerts.botanicgardens.org.

To find the Hudson Gardens & Event Summer Concert Series, visit www.altitudetickets. com. thing you really love.”

The lineups at all three venues tend toward classic rock acts, with musicians like Three Dog Night coming to the Arvada Center, Joan Jett, Firefall and Yes heading to Hudson, and Stephen Stills, Judy Collins and Randy Newman performing at the Botanic Gardens.

“People are really excited about Stills and Collins, particularly because Collins is a Colorado musician,” Osborne said. “Newman is such a great

songwriter. I think it will be really interesting to see how he balances his deep, sarcastic songs with his popular movie songs.”

Blues wizards are always fantastic performers, and this summer offers a mix of old hands and the new guard performing. The Robert Cray Band and Jonny Lang will be stopping by Arvada, Littleton will host The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, and the Botanic Gardens hosts blues god Buddy Guy and a special co-headlining performance with Taj Mahal and Keb’ Mo’.

“The Taj Mo’ show is going to be really special, because they’re in such high demand as solo artists,” Osborne said. “They’re well-known friends, and seeing them together will reinvent the way they approach their music.”

Among the three venues, all your stylistic bases are covered. A fan of country and bluegrass? Clint Black and The Punch Brothers are heading your way.

More of a jazz fan? You can’t miss Herbie Hancock and Béla Fleck & The Flecktones and The Chick Corea

Elektric Band.

For pop lovers, The B-52s, Michael McDonald, Loverboy and Survivor will all be in town.

And if your leanings take you off the beaten path, José González and Dweezil Zappa playing years of his father’s music will more than serve.

As the saying goes, variety is the spice of life. So I encourage you to check out one of these venues and see someone you’ve always been curious or have heard good things about.

“We’ve got the whole summer ahead,” Osborne said, “and we’re really excited about it.”

Me, too.

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he is so excited to see Randy Newman live — he better play “Sail Away.” Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot. com.

‘Vikings: Beyond the Legend’ sails into town Collection of artifacts helps shine light on ancient lifestyles

A pair of wooden boats, built in historic technique, are in the Vikings: Beyond the Legend” exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

The setting is Scandinavia about 750 to 1100 CE. “Vikings: Beyond the Legend,” the exhibit that arrived in March at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, does much to contradict the myths about big hairy barbarians with horns on their helmets — an image which was probably developed by Victorian artists’ dramatic depictions.

The large collection of artifacts will include a heavy sword and exhibits about boats used by these skilled mariners, but no helmets with horns. They

were active merchants throughout Europe and farther afield.

Finely wrought crafts are displayed, along with evidences of a farmer’s life — the primary focus of those people.

Two replica boats, named Arby and Eik Sande, are built in traditional style, with techniques of the time.

Not a nationality, “Viking” meant going out trading as well as raiding, and the exhibit encompasses Danes, Swedes

and Norwegians, who almost certainly crossed paths as they traveled. They ranged to Greenland and Iceland.

Slave trade was active over a large area of their world and trading in assorted goods occupied many men, while women ran the small farms, with help from children.

Men and women were basically farmers, who grew crops and raised livestock. Extended families lived

Tickets cost $25.95/adults; $21.95 seniors; $17.95 junior/student, 3-18. The museum is generally open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and there are special related programs on some evenings, such as a Family Viking Feast on May 12. See dmns.org or call 303-370-6000.

together, and there is evidence that women had more freedom than in other parts of the world.

Religion involved a host of gods and goddesses (Thor, Odin, Frejya, Frigga, Loki and many more) with complex realms, powers and responsibilities.

Costumed interpreters will help to tell stories of lives long ago and explain how artifacts were used, and there are hands-on exhibits to intrigue kids and their parents.

Assetou Xango, Aurora’s newlyappointed poet laureate who is wellknown around Denver, is a school program coordinator for Creative Strategies for Change, an organization that works for social justice through art and education.

April is National Poetry Month, so it’s fitting to spotlight Assetou Xango (Ahh-Say-Two-Shongo), who received a bachelor of arts in filmmaking and has been featured in the HBO documentary “Brave New Voices.” Last year, she participated in the Ted X “Mile High Women” series. In March, she represented Denver in Dallas at the Women of the World National Poetry Slam Championships.

And on the last Friday of the month, Xango can usually be found at The Crossroads Theater, 2590 Washington St. in Denver, for the poetry slam hosted by Slam Nuba.

Her career began with the youth group Minor Disturbance, an arts organization helping Denver youth

through poetry and performance.

“I came into poetry when I was 17 as a youth poet,” Xango said.

“There was very much a spirit of this is your time, this is about your voice.”

Now at 26, she reflects on her new role in the community.

“It’s about the people who are in my commuAssetou nity,” she said, “how I can use my voice to make sure their needs are met.”

Her poetry often addresses women and, more specifically, women of color.

“That is my experience and that is what I can most easily write from. It’s also just a proclamation of empowerment for every space in which a person has this privilege.”

At the top of the list of poets she admires are fellow local poet Toluwanimi Obiwole, along with Audre Lorde, Patricia Hill Collins and Warsan Shire.

“A lot of black women speaking their truth is what I read,” she said.

“It’s what I try to embody.”

Excerpt from her poem “Name Piece”: My name does not allow me to trust anyone that cannot pronounce it right.

I want a name only the brave can say A name that only sits right in the mouth of those who love me right.

ABOUT THIS SECTION Late spring and summer bring a wealth of activities and events to the Denver metro area.

Consider all of this: • Miles and miles of hiking and biking trails.

• State parks, including Roxborough, Chatfield and Cherry Creek.

• Annual family-friendly events that draw thousands of people. Those include Parker Days, Western Welcome Week, Buffalo Bill Days, the Arvada Harvest Festival, the Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival and Westy Fest.

But sometimes — especially as the weather warms up and the days get longer — you just want to get out of town. Colorado has a multitude of welcoming destinations, and we explore some of them in this section.

Some of the destinations in this section are just on the outskirts of the metro area. One of those nearby spots is Estes Park, where you might see an elk or two and can stay at a worldfamous hotel.

If you want a longer road trip, consider Telluride. It’s about a sevenhour drive, but you’ll still be in the beautiful state of Colorado.

Maybe such a trip will become an annual tradition for your family, one to join the county fair outings and those long summer bike rides.

WHERE IS IT? Most Denver-area road trippers go west on I-70 to Glenwood Springs, then turn southeast on State Highway 82, altogether a trip of about four hours. In the summer, consider going through Leadville to Twin Lakes, then over stunning Independence Pass.

NEED TO KNOW: Though typically thought of as the domain of the jet set, Aspen’s got a lot to offer regular folk as well. The Aspen Music Festival and School hosts hundreds of live musical performances though the summer. The free Aspen Art Museum, housed in a daring structure that looks a bit like a wicker basket, houses a bevy of striking pieces.

More adventurous visitors might consider a hike to Conundrum Hot Springs, a clothing-optional geothermal spring accessible by an eight-mile trail south of town.

Aspen went through several incarnations before it became some of the most expensive real estate on the planet. Before World War II, Aspen’s population had dwindled to less than a thousand. In the 1970s, counterculture icons like Hunter S. Thompson and John Denver popularized Aspen as a funky, bohemian colony.

MORE INFORMATION: www.aspenpitkin.com

WHERE IS IT? The quickest way is down Highway 285, turning west at Del Norte on Highway 160. The most beautiful way is Highway 285, turning west at Poncha Springs, west on Highway 50 to Montrose, then south on Highway 550 – the Million Dollar Highway, a spectacular wend along the shoulder of giant mountains.

NEED TO KNOW: Durango is uniquely situated between the desert of the Four Corners region and the mountains of the igneous San Juans. Mesa Verde National Park, with its ancient and mysterious ruins, is just down the road.

The Durango and Silverton Railroad heads north out of town through magnificent scenery. Little-known Navajo Lake is 50 miles southeast, straddling the New Mexico border, where a bevy of boat rentals can be had.

FUN FACT: Hike back to Denver on the Colorado Trail – the south end is in Durango, the north in Waterton Canyon.

Fun fact: The original name of the Animas River that runs through town was the Rio de las Animas Perdidas – the River of Lost Souls.

WHERE IS IT?

WHERE IS IT?

WHERE IS IT?

There are several gorgeous routes into Estes Park, though the most common is to take Highway 36 northwest out of Boulder. It’s about an hour and a half from Denver. The Peak to Peak Highway, a more scenic route, departs from Golden and goes through Nederland.

North of Denver on I-25 by about an hour and a half. If you hit the Wyoming border, you’ve gone too far – or you’re headed to buy fireworks.

NEED TO KNOW: There are few better jumping-off points to experience Colorado’s high alpine tundra during its brief summer than Estes Park. Trail Ridge Road, which traverses the crest of the Rockies through Rocky Mountain National Park, starts just outside of town. About 11 miles of the road are above timberline. The park is loaded with world-class hiking, views, wildlife and natural splendor.

Though quite a bit less remote than the 1980 horror movie “The Shining” made it out to be, the stately old Stanley Hotel offers late-night ghost tours to guests, though they are asked to refrain from hacking open doors with fire axes.

FUN FACT: For years, the death toll from the 1976 Big Thompson flood that swept through the canyon to the east of Estes was listed as 144, until in 2008, supposed victim Darrell Johnson was found to be alive and well, living in Oklahoma. It turned out he had decided to ditch a crummy cabin rental without telling anyone, and was presumed dead when the cabin was washed away.

NEED TO KNOW: Fort Collins teems with old-school charm, from the restored trolley that clatters between City Park and College Avenue to the quirky shops in Old Town. Stop at Walrus Ice Cream on Mountain Avenue for a root beer float made with Coopersmith’s Root Beer, or at the Silver Grill Café for gooey cinnamon roll French toast.

West of town, head up Poudre Canyon to see the strange folded granite of northern Colorado. The Mishawaka Amphitheatre holds concerts by the river all summer.

No visit would be complete without a tour of the New Belgium Brewery.

FUN FACT: Horsetooth Reservoir, on the west side of town, submerged the town of Stout when it was filled in 1949. Legend has it that the town’s old stone buildings are still standing deep beneath the surface.

MORE INFORMATION: visitftcollins.com

West on I-70, just shy of three hours.

NEED TO KNOW: Glenwood Springs has long been known for the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, a massive geothermal soaking pool alleged to have healing properties. Same with the Yampah Spa & Salon, featuring naturally occurring “vapor caves” filled with minerals that some say can cure a range of ailments.

Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, largely perched atop a mountaintop at the edge of town, features zip lines, a Ferris wheel, roller coasters, and giant swings that fling visitors over the abyss below.

Get someone else to drive on the way into town, so you can gawk at Glenwood Canyon.

FUN FACT: Doc Holliday, the Old West gunfighter, died in a Glenwood Springs hospital in 1887. Holliday had always figured he’d “die with his boots on,” and his last words – while looking at his bare feet – were “This is funny.”

Grand Lake ELEVATION: 8,369 FEET WHERE IS IT?

Go west out of Denver on I-70, then north on Highway 40 west of Idaho Springs. Turn north on Highway 34 at Granby.

NEED TO KNOW:

Grand Lake is Colorado’s largest natural body of water, and boating, sailing and fishing abound.

The town of Grand Lake, on the lake’s north shore, boasts a boardwalk with dozens of shops and restaurants. The Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre hosts musicals all summer – this season’s lineup includes “Mamma Mia!”, “Newsies,” “West Side Story” and “Almost Heaven.”

Hit up one of the many boat-rental outfits to head out on the lake – local marinas rent everything from paddle boards to pontoon party boats.

FUN FACT:

Though on the western side of the Continental Divide, Grand Lake provides water to the Front Range via the Alva B. Adams Tunnel.

The undisputed capital of the Western Slope, GJ (as the locals call it) is the hub of desert adventure. Colorado National Monument is just west of town, featuring landscapes of spires and cliffs.

Main Street between First and Seventh streets is

a lovely walk of quirky shops and good eats. Stroll a block south on Fifth to check out the top-notch Museum of the West. Venture south of town to journey onto the Uncompahgre Plateau, a vivacious landscape of canyons. East takes you up Grand Mesa, to fab fishing in 10,000 lakes. West goes deep into the Colorado River Canyons.

North is no-man’s-land.

And, of course, there are the wineries in town and in nearby towns, like Palisade, which is also known for its peaches.

Go west on I-70 to Grand Junction, then south on Highway 50 to Ridgway. Go west on State Highway 62 to Placerville, then east on State Highway 145. At roughly seven hours from Denver, it’s about as out of the way as a Colorado town gets.

galleries and gourmet restaurants on Colorado Avenue, but for a bird’s-eye view, check out the gondola to Mountain Village – a free, 13-minute ride to a mountaintop town featuring eye-popping views.

The other joy of summer in Telluride is access to the high country of the San Juan Mountains, teeming with waterfalls and ghost towns. Coming into Telluride from the east are two of the West’s most famous four-wheel-drive roads: Imogene Pass and Black Bear Pass, the latter dropping precariously into town with a spine-tingling descent down a series of unforgiving switchbacks.

FUN FACT:

The summit of Imogene Pass – more than 13,000 feet high – is home to a restored Colorado National Guard installation called Fort Peabody, which was built in 1904 to keep deported striking miners from sneaking back into town.

Jeffco narrows superintendent search Field of candidates down to six

candidates.”

The candidates come from Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. The hiring firm Ray & Associates Inc. presented resumes and information about the 11 to the Jeffco Board at the meeting, but the names and resume details were kept from the public.

The five-member board then entered into an executive session where they selected six individuals to interview over the coming days.

The Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) requires school districts to make public the names of finalists

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A nationwide search involving hundreds has narrowed to just six contenders to be Jefferson County Schools newest superintendent.

At the April 20 study session of the Board of Education, the public was told that out of more than 800 potential applicants, 69 decided to apply.

From that group, a consulting firm winnowed down the list to 11 “top

for positions such as superintendent, at least 14 days prior to an offer of employment.

Colorado Community Media filed a CORA request for the names of the six candidates selected to be interviewed.

The district denied that request on Monday, claiming that the board had not selected finalists yet.

The CORA statute define a finalist as “a member of the final group of applicants,” from which the board chooses.

In the 2014 superintendent search, also handled by Ray & Associates, the board interviewed five candidates, before announcing a single “finalist.”

The first round of candidate in-

terviews is scheduled for this week, including an executive session April 26. A second round of interviews is optional, according to the Ray & Associates timeline. The timeline calls for the board to meet with the consultants this week.

The district website says the board hopes to select a candidate in May. “We’ve done some hard work on this, yours is about to begin,” Bill Newman, of Ray and Associates, told the board before it adjourned to executive session to review the applicants.

“Tonight’s goal is to get this down to who you would like to bring in to meet in person.”

Outmatched Westminster girls team battles hard Highlands Ranch wins despite determined Wolves soccer team effort

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There was no lack of effort and the Wolves battled until the horn ended the game but the Westminster team lost the April 22 non-league girls soccer game to Highlands Ranch, 5-0.

“We are a very young team made up of mostly of girls who only play soccer with the high school team. I only have two or three who play soccer all year,” Wolves Coach Teri Hutchinson.

“We want them to play hard and have a good time and they do. This is also a group of young women who are great

students and who enjoy and have fun being athletes. As a coach I think it is important that just about all our girls play more than one high school sport.”

She said she views every season as a building season and this is no exception.

“We had a good turnout this year with about 45 girls who are still on the roster. Most of those girls are freshmen, sophomores and juniors,” the coach said. “It is a plus for our program that we are able to field teams at the varsity, a junior varsity and a c-level. Fielding three teams is important for Westminster High School soccer because we do not have a youth feeder program and they don’t have sports in the middle schools.”

Key moments: Highlands Ranch took control of the tempo of play

early. The Falcons pushed the attack constantly and most of the game was played on the Wolves side of midfield, forcing Westminster to play determined and aggressive defense.

The Wolves did manage to push their attack on several occasions and unofficially they took eight shot at the net but didn’t score a goal.

Key players/statistics: According to team statistics on the web site Diana Martinez-Hernandez is the team leading scorer for the season with three goals. Defense has the key for the Wolves in this game as it has been all season. The Westminster fullbacks and midfielders repeatedly to turn aside Highlands Ranch attacks.

However, the Falcons did put 30 shots SEE WOLVES, P34

Strong laps don’t lead to win for Legacy swimmers

BY SCOTT STOCKER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Legacy’s Casey Hamilton was a bit stronger in one of his individual events and just off his stroke in a second event in the 19-team Mustangs Invitational Swimming Meet at the Veteran’s Memorial Pool on April 22.

Hamilton came through to set a meet record in the 100-meter Backstroke with swift swim of :51.62 seconds. The effort was good enough to outstroke Boulder’s Nathan Rock, timed in :53.42. However, he had to settle for second in the 200 Individu-

al Medley, swimming 1:53.46, behind Broomfield’s Lierz Harrison, who swam 1:56.93.

“It certainly felt good, but I could have gone faster over the first 100,” said Hamilton after his victory. “The season has gone well and our team has actually been doing great. We just want to continue to have a good finish. Seeing teammates get some of their best times and get to state is the best feeling.”

However, Hamilton could have certainly hoped for a finer finish from his teammates in the field. The Lightning had to settle for a fourth place finish, scoring 229 points.

Fossil Ridge, located in Fort Collins, had the best day as the Sabercats scored a whopping 355.5 points.

Fairview finished in second with 308.5 points, followed by Boulder, 270.5.

The two-day completion allowed a huge number of competitors in both the boys and girls competitions. The events were strung together with the Varsities, B, C and D teams times being constructed into one single structure.

Over the course of the two day meet, five records were broken, three by the Fossil Ridge relay teams and SEE LEGACY, P33

hile talking with Jack Huber, I could only think about how it takes a few steps to get everything working after sitting for a while and how things I used to be able to easily do are now harder.

And I’ve never had a major injury.

Jack Huber, a senior wrestler and football player at ThunderRidge, has OVERTIME undergone surgeries for injuries to his shoulder, knees and chest.

Despite pain plus long rehabilitation stints, he kept grinding and qualified for the state wrestling tournament three Jim Benton straight seasons. He finished fifth at 182 pounds in the 2017 Class 5A tournament.

“The injuries started my sophomore year,” he said. “I had to decide if I wanted to keep doing this because of all the money spent for the surgeries, and it was painful. I decided to stick it out, one more year, one more time.”

Huber signed a letter of intent to wrestle at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo during an April 27 signing ceremony at ThunderRidge. He will join his brother Joe on the Mustangs’ wrestling team.

Joe Huber was a 2015 Ponderosa High graduate.

“A year ago, I didn’t know if I would be able to wrestle,” Jack said. “I didn’t know with the surgery if it was going to work. I feel good now. I feel normal again.”

No mercy for boys volleyball bid Boys volleyball took a called third strike at the Colorado High School Activities Association’s Legislative Council meeting on April 20.

The club-level Colorado Boys High School Volleyball Association and the CHSAA-sanctioned Tri-Peaks League prepared a proposal requesting that boys volleyball be sanctioned as a twoclassification spring sport.

But, for the third time in recent years, a bid to have the sport sanctioned was denied when 54 percent of the 72-member council voted to not even open the classification and League Organizing Committee report for consideration.

Also at the meeting, a mercy rule for all levels of boys and girls basketball was considered by the council and approved by a 59-11 vote. If a team has a 35-point lead after three quarters, a running clock will start and only stop for timeouts, injuries and free throws.

In hockey action, Chaparral and Woodland Park will be added as new teams for the 2017-18 season.

the fifth by Boulder’s Nathan Rock in the 200 Freestyle (1:44.55).

Fossil Ridge clocked 1:36.95 in the 200 Medley Relay with the foursome of Danny Kovac, Josh Pales, Sam Ybarra and Matt Geraghty taking the strokes. Kavac was joined by shamzi Alkaff, Richard Kauksher and Kris Malinin, winning the 200 Free Relay in 1:26.37. The Sabercats closed out the meet winning the 400 Relay in 3:11.39. Swimming the legs were Malinin, Geraghty, Pales and Alkaff.

Thornton’s Blake Olson was the winner in the 100 Butterfly with a time of :52.90 and also came through with a third-place finish in the 200 Free with a time of 1:47.34. He finished behind Boulder’s Nathan Rock (1:44.55) and Legacy’s Daniel Bradford (1:45.37) in the 200.

“This has been a real good meet and one of the fastest that I’ve been able to do this season,” said Olson. “It’s good to get up and race with a lot of fine competition and the playoff today was good. I’m so thankful to my family and friends for all their support.”

Added Bradford, “I’m really happy and just pushing myself to keep getting better and better. And, as a team that’s what we want, to get better and better.”

It’s a good thing the 50-Meter event doesn’t last a long time as there were 204 boys entered over the two days.

The number came down a bit in the

100-Free with only 140 entrants and 102 in the 100-Breaststroke. And when it came to a total number of swimmers in the200 Medley Relay, the count was 220.

on the net and Wolves goalie Arizona Duran made 25 saves. Duran has been had made 108 saves in eight games prior to the game against Highlands Ranch.

They said it: “I sort of got volunteered to be a goalie,” Duran said. “I played varsity at for the first time at the end of the season when the starting goalie got hurt. I found I really liked playing goalie. There is a lot of pressure on you playing that position but I like being there. Playing goalie I am able to see the whole field and I can help my teammates by helping them be in the best

Former swim coach honored Former Littleton boys and girls swim coach Maurice “Stringy” Erwin will be one of six people inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame.

The 53rd annual induction banquet, set for April 27 at the Denver City Marriott, is sold out and Erwin’s family and friends have reserved three tables to honor the longtime coach.

position to make a play because I could see what was happening all over the whole field. I also like being the last line of defense for our team.”

She said she worked hard during the off season so she feels she is a much better goalie now than she was last year.

“I have a better knowledge of the game and what I am seeing on the field and I can read kicks better than I did last year,” she said.

Duran said she plays softball, basketball, football and soccer but soccer is her favorite sport because it calms her down and she has fun playing the sport.

Going forward: The Wolves have a record of 1-12 following the loss to Highlands Ranch. The team wraps up the season on the road April 28 against Aurora Central.

The three-sport letterman at Litteton was a Lions coach for 46 years.

He coached baseball and football in addition to swimming. His boys swim teams won seven state titles and the girls squads captured five state crowns.

Valor Christian quarterback Dylan McCaffrey will be honored as Boys High School Athlete of the Year.

Giving urban animals room and monitoring state wildlife programs

he mother goose nesting in the 120th Avenue parking lot that was pictured in an article in this newspaper April 13th, reminds us how exposed and venerable wildlife are in the spring nesting and birthing OUTDOOR season.

LIVING The popular trail systems and open space areas we enjoy in our region can place venturesome citizens and pets in close proximity to wildlife. State Parks and Wildlife staff reminds us to not feed wildlife, keep pets on Ron Hellbusch a leash, and avoid disturbing nests and newborn animals and to refrain from exploring dense cover where wildlife finds natural habitat and protection. Such is a wise recommendation to support our wildlife populations.

A female Canada goose sits on her nest that just so happens to be located in the middle of a 120th Avenue parking lot in Westminster. Neighboring shop owners say it’s fourth year the goose, whom they’ve dubbed “Gracie” and her gander Gary have chosen this lot as the place to raise their young.

SCOTT TAYLOR Those who monitor nature and wildlife public issues will want to take a moment and read House Bill 1321 currently under consideration by the state legislature. Many of us were concerned when the Governor and Legislature “merged” the state division of wildlife (previously an independent agency) with state parks division.

The governor argued there would be greater cooperation and efficiencies by

having the two agencies under a single structure. The suspected objective was to use wildlife funds to support parks Division operations. The wildlife division, not flush in its own financial needs, should not share its own funding sources to supplement other state operations.

The short and long term downside of this merger of funds is fishing and hunting operations and land and water access for both pursuits will be negatively

impacted by draining off fishing and hunting funds for parks division use.

We will most likely see the cost of hunting and fishing licenses increase to support parks expenses, as HB 1320 proposes. This is an outdoors issue that warrants close monitoring.

Most metro area cities have some form of volunteer program whereby citizens can offer, on a volunteer basis, to assist and support local community programs and city staff and thus make a real contribution to their communities.

Westminster has expanded its volunteer recruitment to include a new activity as Naturalist Volunteer to work with City personnel at the Standley Lake Regional Park and select community parks.

Anyone specifically interested in learning more about the naturalist volunteer activity can call 303-658-2400 and ask for the “Volunteer Westminster” office for more information.

Colleges, universities brew up a new degree ACC’s fermentation sciences program prepares students for transfer to CSU or Metro State

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sales of craft beer rose 6.2 percent in the United States in 2016, according to the Brewers Association, a craft beer industry trade group.

Colorado has long been at the forefront of the brewing industry, and the state boasts about 300 craft breweries, says the Colorado Brewers Guild.

While many pioneers in the craft beer industry started out homebrewing as a hobby while working in other careers, a new academic specialty has begun popping up at colleges and universities.

“There is a huge demand for people who are coming into the industry with specific fermentation knowledge,” said Jessica Blatecky, a biology instructor at Arapahoe Community College who is coordinating the school’s new fermentation sciences program.

The program, launching this fall, is ACC’s second attempt at a fermentation sciences degree. Last fall, only seven people enrolled for the first class

are the most polluted and environmentally at-risk in the nation.

Pollutants are a silent killer in our air and water. It’s no surprise that these neighborhoods are made up of

and it was canceled.

The associate of science program includes two fermentation classes — craft beer brewing and fermented foods sciences — in a curriculum that also includes microbiology. Students must be 21 or older in order to take the craft beer class.

Scott Kerkmans, who heads up the brewing program at Metropolitan State University of Denver, said that industry-specific degrees have become increasingly important in the beer world in the past few years.

“It’s turned from a trade into a profession,” Kerkmans said. “And because of that, you need specific knowledge.”

Jeff Callaway, associate director of fermentation science and technology at Colorado State University, said fermentation-specific education can help students get hands-on experience.

“It’s certainly not required but it is getting more helpful,” he said of the value of degrees in the field.

Littleton’s St. Patrick’s Brewing Co. will help add a practical component to Blatecky’s coursework. St. Patrick’s founder and brewmaster Chris Phelps, who describes himself as a self-taught brewer who learned the principles of fermentation through reading and experimentation, said he believes there is value in a fermentation science degree.

“More and more brewers ask for it as a requirement on a resume,” he said.

ACC has arranged transfer agree-

ments with Metro State and CSU, both of which offer related bachelor’s degrees. Metro has brewery operations and craft brewing and pub operations offerings. CSU’s program, housed in the university’s food science and human nutrition department, is designed to educate students not just on beer but on the myriad other beverages and foods that are fermented.

Non-beer fermented products, of course, include other alcoholic beverages, but also foods such as sausage, cheese, yogurt and pickles, as well as kombucha, an increasingly trendy fermented tea.

“Fermentation is taking any type of sugar and converting it to alcohol, gas or acid,” Blatecky said.

Kombucha and other fermented products are popular in the health food industry, and she sees potential for graduates entering that line of work as well as brewing. But the biggest area of demand for people with fermentation expertise may be quality control at breweries, she said. Callaway said that most CSU fermentation students are hoping to find jobs in brewing or distilling.

Blatecky said that while people with more generalized science backgrounds certainly work in the field, they may require significant on-

the-job training.

“You are working with a delicate science,” she said.

primarily low-income Latinos. The Governor must not forget that he represents many economically and socially disadvantaged communities across the state, and those voices ring loud and clear: we deserve clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and a safe environment in which to play, live and raise a family.

People of color are under threat from every direction, from immi-

gration policy to clean air and our climate. Our voices matter. We are Colorado, but right now, our voices are not being heard. Governor Hickenlooper has an opportunity to help Colorado become a national leader on the issues affecting our communities, including immigration and environmental justice, two intimately intertwined issues. We all love the Centennial State, but we need our

Governor to help us show the nation that Colorado is a force to be reckoned with, and that we will not back down when faced with adversity, intolerance, and injustice.
