Girders and deck panels installed along US 36By Ashley reimersareimers@ourcoloradonews.com

As part of the US 36 Express Lanes proj-ect, bridges along the highway are getting a needed facelift.

On March 21, the Colorado Depart-ment of Transportation began girder and deck-panel installation on the Wadsworth Parkway bridge.

This is just the beginning of spring and summer seasons filled with bridge con-struction along US 36.

The girder and deck-panel installation will cause the closure of US 36 in both di-rections from 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. daily un-til Tuesday, April 2, weather permitting.

CDOT project director John Schwab said the department is trying to avoid full highway closures during the project, but the girder installation requires highway closure for safety reasons.

“On Wadsworth, we are setting 39 gird-ers across the highway, some weighing approximately 111,000 pounds and mea-suring 120 feet long,” Schwab said. “We will have detours using the ramps, but we encourage drivers to use alternate routes if possible as there will likely be delays.”

The delay is estimated to be about 10 minutes during the 9 and 10 p.m. hours, but throughout the late night hours and early morning hours, the delay should be minimal.

Schwab said it’s important for drivers to obey all construction signs and flaggers,

and to “slow down for the cone zone.”Schwab said five bridges are being

completely rebuilt and three more are be-ing widened as part of the project.

The Wadsworth bridge and the 112th Avenue bridge will be completed by No-vember. The Sheridan Boulevard bridge; BNSF bridge; and the US 36 bridges over Lowell Boulevard, the Westminster Prom-enade, and East and West Flatiron Cross-ing will also be under construction this spring and summer.

The US 36 Express Lanes Project is a $312 million, multimodule project be-tween Federal Boulevard and 88th Avenue Street in Louisville/Superior.

The project will build an express lane in each direction of Highway 36 to ac-commodate high-occupancy vehicles, bus rapid transit and tolled single-occupancy vehicles. Instead of a physical barrier to separate the managed lanes from the gen-eral purpose lanes, the project will create a 4-foot buffer, the first of its kind in the state, according to Schwab.

Another element to the project is bus-on shoulders. This feature will allow buses to travel on the shoulders of the highway during periods of high traffic volume.

Schwab said buses will only be able to use the shoulders, which are the same width of the lanes, under certain condi-tions and will have restrictions.

Buses can only use a maximum speed of 35 miles per hour, and if vehicles are driving more than 50 miles per hour on the roadway, the buses will not be able to use the shoulders, he added.

“This is an accelerated project hap-pening in a span of two and half years,” Schwab said. “We want to minimize as many traffic issues as possible for drivers, and have this project complete and open to the public by January 2015.”

Pinwheels to be planted for supportRalston House hosts annual program to raise awareness, fundsBy sara Van Clevesvancleve@ourcoloradonews.com

Blue pinwheels will soon be sprouting across Jefferson County.

Ralston House is preparing to recognize Child Abuse Prevention Month in April by selling blue pinwheels and encouraging residents and businesses to plant them as gardens.

“Pinwheels are a national symbol for child-abuse prevention,” said Don Moseley, executive director of Ralston House. “When we think about child abuse, it’s such a dif-ficult subject. We should talk about preven-tion and getting better. The pinwheel is a very hopeful symbol.”

Ralston House has set a goal of raising $30,000 through this year’s pinwheel pro-gram, all of which will go toward providing child victims of abuse with forensic inter-views, medical exams and emotional sup-port. Ralston House, 10795 W. 58th Ave., is a non-profit child-advocacy center that pro-vides a safe and comfortable environment where children who have been sexually or physically abused can receive help and tell their story.

Pinwheels are $5 each, and businesses and individuals can buy them from Ralston House to create their own gardens, or they can sponsor a pinwheel at one of the large public gardens, which will be at Faith Bible Chapel, 6210 Ward Road in Arvada; Gold

Crown Sports Foundation, 150 S. Harlan St.; and Jefferson County Open School, 7655 W. 10th Ave. in Lakewood.

“For me, it’s a very easy way of doing what we all talk about,” Moseley said.

Pinwheels will be planted at Faith Bible Chapel and Gold Crown Sports Foundation on April 9, and at Jeffco Open School on April 10.

A business that wants to plant its own garden can contact Ralston House to re-ceive a kit. They then sell the pinwheels at their business and turn the proceeds over to Ralston House.

The support demonstrated through the pinwheels means something special to the victims of child abuse, whether they are still children or have grown up, Moseley said.

“It’s a nice symbol, and it shows victims that the community gets it,” he said. “It’s a chance to show that the community sup-ports them. Countless victims never tell be-cause the perpetrator tells them not to. It’s a reminder that it’s not their fault.”

To purchase a pinwheel or pinwheel kit, or to sponsor a pinwheel at a large garden, contact Ralston House at 720-898-6741 or go online to www.RalstonHouse.net.

Nothing can be better than something Sometimes it is easy to become over-

whelmed and super-focused with every-thing that we believe matters in our lives — our families, friends, job, school, and all of our stuff and all of our activities that we pursue or collect — and we forget to fi nd time for a little “nothing.”

Obviously “nothing” is not a four-letter word. It not even a bad word. Sometimes we can all use a little “nothing” in our lives to balance out the hectic pace, madness and maybe even a little of the drama that may be consuming us or that has crept into our world at the moment.

Finding times to be quiet and allow “nothing” to invade our mind or our space could be really healthy at times. I know that some of you may be reading this laughing and saying that there is no way to fi nd time to do “nothing,” and if I only knew just how much madness and pres-sure you face each day it would be ridicu-lous to even propose such a thing. And that

would be exactly why I am recommending that you fi nd some time to do “nothing.”

Now when I say fi nd the time to do “nothing,” I am in no way suggesting that it should become our complete lifestyle. Finding time for “nothing” could mean just a few minutes each day. Maybe it’s even the start to our day or found at the end of a busy day where we can decompress and allow the enjoyment of “nothing” to take over. For some folks the need for “nothing-ness” could happen in the middle of the

day as an escape.I am not sure about you, but when I ac-

tually practice this principle of “nothing,” my world comes back into perspective, I fi nd my center, experience peace, and in some way I am actually able to accomplish more than when I am in full-on scramble mode.

And in those quiet moments of my “nothing” I also seem to hear so much more from my heart and my head that brings clarity, less worry, and comfort to what may be happening around me. My “nothingness-fi lled” moments oddly enough also inspire and motivate me, even spark my creativity.

When was the last time you gave your-self permission to do “nothing”? Was it a quiet moment found somewhere in your home or offi ce? Maybe you enjoyed a few minutes of “nothingness” outside during a walk or hike.

There is actually a spot in the trees that I

ski to sometimes where hardly anyone else ever goes, I stop, and, surrounded by the aspens and pine trees, in the stillness of the mountain, I take a few minutes of doing “nothing.”

Again, “nothing” really does matter when taken in the right context. Not the sluggard or sloth type associated with laziness, but rather the freeing, energiz-ing, and yet restful form of “nothingness” that helps us to get back to where we really want to be or need to be in our life.

I would love to hear your thoughts on doing “nothing” at gotonorton@gmail.com and maybe our week fi lled with a few mo-ments of “nothing” will lead us to having a better-than-good week.

Rotary member Angela Habben said Total Beverage was nominated for generously supporting and helping businesses and or-ganizations raise money for various people who need support.

“Both Westminster and the 7:10 Rotary Club have greatly benefi ted from the kind-ness from Total Beverage,” she said. “Total Beverage has participated in numerous events that allow organizations in our area to raise funds from many projects.”

Total Beverage employees dedicate 400 hours per year in volunteer service, and the company donates products for commu-nity fundraisers and events. Habben said some of the organizations supported by Total Beverage are the Westminster Legacy Foundation, the St. Anthony North Health Foundation, the Metro North Chamber of Commerce 5K, the Westminster Fire De-partment chili cook-off and the 7:10 Rotary Club Foundation.

“For us, it’s not about being recognized, it’s about giving back to the community and having a business that is doing well enough to be able to help other people,” Fredrick-son said. “We appreciate the Rotary Club for even thinking of us because it’s a great opportunity.”

Mental health services change with the times Collaboration, education key to progress By Clarke Reader creader@ourcoloradonews.com

The demand for mental health ser-vices has grown consistently over the past decade, experts say, because of an increased need and shrinking stigma against those who require these ser-vices.

In response, mental health service providers, including Adams County’s Community Reach Center and the Jefferson Center for Mental Health (JCMH), have adapted and improved the services they offer.

“Everyone is acknowledging that you can’t deal with someone’s health without looking at the whole pack-age,” said Community Reach CEO Rick Doucet. “Ten years ago you wouldn’t see mental health discussed at the table, but now we’re being included in panels on things like school safety.”

Lindy Schultz, public relations and communications manager with Com-munity Reach, said integrated care has become a major feature of mental

health services, with more people now receiving mental health care at their primary doctors’ offi ce.

“We’ve seen an uptick in the num-ber of those who need our services in the last couple years, with the econo-

my and its affects,” she said. “We’re now part-nering with school dis-tricts and c o m m u -nity areas to help con-sumers with

access to our services.”Community Reach and JCMH have

offered their consumers group set-tings for different sessions, from ther-apy to wellness classes.

“We have classes on all kinds of subjects, from stress resolution and exercise to budgeting,” said Harriet Hall, CEO of JCMH. “We want to get to people early, before they need exten-sive services, and these can in some ways be better for them.”

Public outreach and education also have become a top goal for both orga-

nizations, to decrease the misconcep-tions about those with mental health issues, and teach the public how they can help.

Mental health fi rst-aid classes are offered by both Community Reach and the JCMH. The classes teach par-ticipants how to recognize common mental health problems as well as the skills to help someone who is in crisis.

“If somebody were to break their arm, fi rst aid teaches people what to do to help that person,” Hall said. “These courses educate people on what’s going on when someone is having a serious problem and how to help.”

Doucet said that, because of be-liefs about what someone with mental health issues might do, people often are afraid to help, even when a person poses no danger.

“You shouldn’t assume that a per-son having problems is going to hurt you,” he said. “Instead, with a little help, we’ll train you on how to calm that person down.”

JCMH has taught mental health fi rst aid to several local police agencies and organizations. Community Reach has a program called Crisis Interven-tion Training that focuses on police offi cers, offering them a week-long course on how to deal with these situ-ations. Doucet estimates that Com-munity Reach has trained about 300 offi cers.

Participants get to hear from ex-perts and work with actors on differ-ent scenarios.

$6M bridge project under way Bridge to be replaced at 72nd Avenue and Raleigh Street By Ashley Reimers areimers@ourcoloradonews.com

A project to replace the bridge at 72nd Avenue and Raleigh Street is under way in Westminster. The current box culvert struc-ture will eventually be replaced by an actual bridge, with the help of $1.8 million in fed-

eral funding.“Three or four years ago, the Colorado

Department of Transportation rated this particular structure an eight out of 100 in their off-systems bridge-inspection pro-gram,” said Stephen Baumann, assistant city engineer for Westminster. “This low rating qualifi ed the project for some federal funding.”

The total cost of the project is estimated at $6 million; what’s not funded by federal dollars will be funded by the city’s general

capital improvement fund and the utility fund. Not only will the box culvert structure be replaced, but other street and utility im-provements will be made, Baumann said.

“The bridge will be slightly bigger than the structure now, which will allow for the water in Little Dry Creek to fl ow more effi -ciently,” Baumann said.

The regional trail alongside the bridge also will be raised slightly to allow for better water fl ow Baumann said the city is taking advantage of construction in the area to re-

place the water and sanitary sewer systems.“Both the water and sanitary sewer sys-

tems are near the end of their lives,” he said. “It’s a great time to get those replaced while there is already construction happening in the area.”

Baumann said the sidewalks along 72nd Avenue from Raleigh Street are also being widened to give pedestrians a better walk-way.

Construction on the project is set to be-gin this fall and is estimated to last one year.

Golden murder may be solved Texas gun battle leads to break in case

By Glenn Wallace gwallace@ourcoloradone-ws.com

The mystery of who shot and killed 27-year-old Nathan Collin Leon, and left his body in a fi eld near C-470 and West Colfax Av-enue, may have been solved by an incident more than 700 miles away.

Leon’s body was found on the evening of March 17, across town from his last known location, where he had delivered pizza.

Now, authorities say Evan Spencer Ebel, 28, the sus-pect in a March 21 shootout and car chase in Decatur, Texas, is also the suspect in the Leon case. He was also named the suspect in the March 19 killing of Tom Cle-ments, executive director of Colorado’s Department of Corrections, who was killed at his Monument home.

According to authorities, the chase in Texas began when a car with Colorado plates was stopped for a mi-nor moving violation. The driver, Ebel, opened fi re on the Montague County Sheriff’s Deputy, injuring him. He then led area law enforcement on a chase that reached speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. The

chase came to an abrupt halt when Ebel’s car collid-ed with an 18-wheeler. Ebel exited the car and began fi r-ing at offi cers. He was killed in the ensuing gun fi ght.

Among the evidence re-ported as being collected from Ebel’s car were a pizza box warmer, and a Domi-no’s jacket.

Golden City Manager Mike Bestor confi rmed that a Golden detective was part of the Colorado law en-forcement contingent that traveled to Texas that day to investigate.

“It looks like they might have the suspect,” Bestor told the City Council March 21.

The next morning Den-ver Police Department made this statement via Twitter: “Thanks to great work by Golden Police De-partment investigators, Denver Police Department detectives and a forensic examination by the Denver Crime Lab, we are confi dent the Texas suspect is also the suspect in the Denver/Golden case.”

According to the Denver Post, Ebel is a parolee from the Denver area with an extensive criminal history, including affi liation with a white-supremacy prison gang.

State’s obesity numbers hint at changing future Colorado adults slimmest in U.S., but children fall in middle range By Kevin Vaughan I-News Network

Colorado is continually heralded as the fittest state in the country — but behind that ranking stand a host of health measures that paint a different picture, placing the state mid-pack or worse in things such as infant mortality and binge drinking.

And even that No. 1 ranking — best — among the 50 states in the rate of adult obesity may mask seri-ous future troubles: Colorado stands 23rd in childhood obesity and is even farther down the list in other key measures of the overall health of the state’s youngest population.

“If we’re 23rd in kids and No. 1 in adults, how sustainable is that?” asked James Hill, a University of Colorado pediatrics professor who is involved in extensive obesity re-search. “I think that’s reason to be concerned — I really do.”

Emily King, a research analyst at the Colorado Health Institute who compiled the data, said it is impos-sible to simply look at the numbers and project the future.

“The fact that our childhood obe-sity rate is much higher than it was in the past suggests that our adult obe-sity rates will be higher a couple of

decades from now because we know that obese children are more likely to grow up to be obese adults,” she said.

Other measures in the health in-stitute’s data also suggested serious challenges for Colorado on issues re-lated to children.

For example, the state ranked 31st in late or non-existent prenatal care, 37th in low birth-weight babies and 42nd in children without insurance, according to an I-News examination of the health institute’s data.

That data underpins the Colorado Health Foundation’s annual Colora-do Health Report card.

The report card uses the most re-cently available data to measure the relative health of Coloradans across a variety of areas that look at differ-ent stages of life.

The Colorado Health Foundation used the data this year to ask the question: “What if we were No. 1?”

And while the state currently is when it comes to adult waistlines — 20.9 percent of the state’s population of 18- to 64-year-olds are obese, the lowest percentage in the nation — it’s a different issue when it comes to children. The most recent data estimated that 14.2 percent of the state’s children were obese. Oregon, by comparison, was No. 1, with 9.6 percent of its children obese.

The Colorado Health Foundation estimated that if Colorado were to climb to No. 1 in childhood obesity, it would have 24,900 fewer kids living

at an unhealthy weight.The foundation estimated other

categories where changes in Colo-rado’s ranking would mean dramatic changes in statistics — and, perhaps, economics.

For example, the foundation es-timated that Colorado residents and their employers could save $121 million a year in health care costs if it had the lowest rate of depression among the 50 states.

The report card also found Colo-rado, if it could move to the top spot among the states, would annually have 2,100 more babies born at a healthy weight, 32,600 fewer high school students who smoke ciga-rettes, and 376,800 fewer adults who binge drink.

The news wasn’t all bad — Colo-rado was first in older adults who participate in regular physical activ-ity, fourth in adolescents who partic-ipate in regular physical activity and fifth-lowest in mothers who smoked during pregnancy.

Still, Hill said he worries about the future if the state can’t address the growing number of people who are obese.

“Preventing obesity is going to be easier than treating it, so we’ve got to get serious about kids and prevent-ing obesity in the first place,” Hill said.

He said he would push for a sim-ple goal in the beginning — for Colo-rado to maintain its current obesity rate as an important first step.

Governor signs three gun-control bills into law By Vic Vela vvela@ourcoloradonews.com

Recollection of death and violence has hung over the Capitol through-out much of the legislative

session, as gun bills have dominated lawmakers’ at-tention.

And that was even be-fore the head of the state Department of Corrections was shot to death inside his home, just hours before

Gov. John Hickenlooper signed three pieces of gun-control legislation into law on March 20.

Hickenlooper and Dem-ocratic leaders held a Capi-tol press conference to an-nounce the bill signings. But their mood was somber, with the slaying of DOC Ex-ecutive Director Tom Cle-ments from the night before in the back of their minds.

“On a day that we should be celebrating the signing of these three bills that make our communities safer, I am mourning the loss of one more person who lost his life to this senseless vio-lence that is plaguing our entire country,” said Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs.

Gun violence that con-tinues to rattle the nation is exactly why Democrats put so much political capital into gun-control efforts this session.

But Republicans say Democrats will rue the day for their overreach.

Among the bills signed by Hickenlooper was House Bill 1229, which requires universal background checks on gun sales and transfers in Colorado.

Hickenlooper said there is evidence that background checks prevent criminals from getting their hands on guns.

“Background checks have great benefi t,” the gov-ernor said. “People would say to me… `Well, criminals aren’t stupid. They’re not gonna comply with back-ground checks.’ Well, no one told the criminals that.”

Hickenlooper also signed into law House Bill 1224, which limits the num-ber of rounds that an am-munition magazine can carry to 15.

Throughout the session, Republicans have criticized the rounds limitation as an arbitrary effort that would do nothing to get weapons out of the hands of danger-ous people.

They also tagged it as be-ing a job-killing bill that will cause Colorado-based gun and ammunition manufac-turers to fl ee the state. Hick-enlooper acknowledged that he initially was “ambiv-alent” about the legislation, which he said was “the most contentious bill that we’ve dealt with.”

But the governor added that “high-capacity maga-zines have the potential to turn killers into killing ma-chines.”

Hickenlooper also signed House Bill 1228, which will end the taxpayer subsidization of fees associ-ated with gun background checks.

Not a single Republican voted for any of the gun bills that Hickenlooper signed on March 20.

They included Sen. Greg Brophy of Wray, who criti-cized the governor after the press conference, saying that the signings will leave his constituents in eastern Colorado livid.

“He slapped rural Colo-rado right in the face,” Brophy said. “Oh, (my con-stituents) are overwhelm-ingly upset about this. I mean, they’ve crawled out of the woodwork to talk about this issue. They’re on fi re!”

And Dudley Brown, ex-ecutive director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, said his members will make sure that Democratic law-makers pay in 2014.

“Gov. Hickenlooper and the Democrats in the Leg-islature just handed our or-ganization a sledgehammer that we get to wade through their china shop in the 2014 elections,” Brown said. “Our organization and gun own-ers around the state are going to destroy the Demo-cratic caucus.”

Emotions run high as civil unions become law Colorado joins states recognizing partnerships By Vic Vela vvela@ourcoloradonews.com

Rarely was a speech made inside Den-ver’s History Colorado Center March 21 that didn’t bring Sue Westervelt to tears.

The Colorado Springs woman made the hour drive north to be a part of history — to see Gov. John Hickenlooper sign legislation that legalizes civil unions for gay couples in Colorado.

“In my lifetime, I can’t believe this is be-coming a reality,” said Westervelt, who is gay, as tears trickled down her face. “I’ve been discriminated against my whole life. Now, I don’t feel like a second-class citizen any more.”

There were plenty of tears and plenty of cheers inside the sleek Capitol Hill cultural center, as onlookers fi lled the space to the rafters to witness the signing of Senate Bill 11, which will allow gay couples to enter into commitments that are similar to mar-

riage beginning May 1.Colorado now becomes the eighth state

to recognize civil unions, or similar domes-tic-partner laws. Nine other states, along with the District of Columbia, allow gay marriage.

“It is a mo-ment that the whole commu-nity has waited for, for so long,” said Hicken-looper. “And it is really the be-ginning of the country chang-ing. That change has gotten here. It’s gonna keep going. It’s not going to stop in Colo-rado. But I’d like to think this is a crucial point, a very crucial point.”

Joining Hickenlooper on stage were law-makers who were instrumental in passing the bill, after two failed attempts in previ-ous legislative sessions.

They included Denver Democratic Sen. Pat Steadman. Steadman, who is gay and lost his partner of eleven years to pancre-atic cancer last year.

“He would be so proud standing right here with you,” said House Speaker Mark

Ferrandino, as several onlookers were seen wiping away tears. “He was an amazing man. I’m so glad you were able to do this in his honor and to be able to make this a reality.”

After the signing came the celebrating. Democratic Sen. Jessie Ulibarri of Com-merce City kissed his partner, Louis Trujillo, as the two wrapped their arms around each other.

“I told him, ‘Don’t cry, don’t cry. You’re gonna make me cry,’” Ulibarri said. “But it was more romantic than that. We’ve been fi ghting for this for a long time.”

Trujillo added, “I told him I love him with all my heart.”

Amid the revelry quietly stood Christine Bakke-O’Neil and her partner of four years, Theresa Bakke-O’Neil. The Aurora couple

held hands and soaked in the moment, which, for them, had been a long time com-ing.

Christine Bakke-O’Neil recalled walking dejectedly out of the Capitol two years ago, when a civil unions bill failed.

“I remember thinking that I don’t count here,” she said. “I don’t count. This is not a state for me. I never felt so disenfranchised in my life, and it was really heartbreaking.”

“Now, I’m so surprised as to how emo-tional I was (during the signing). This means so much.”

So, what were the big party plans for the domestic partners going to be afterward?

“Go home and feed the cats,” quipped Christine.

“You know, the big gay agenda,” Theresa said.

Keeping it light There’s been a lot of tragic, terrible news

lately, so I’m going to write again about an article that makes me laugh.

I’ve run this column a few times but folks still want to read it.

Got a Letter form Grandma the other day. She wrote:

The other day I went up to a local Chris-tian bookstore and saw a “HONK IF YOU LOVE JESUS” bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bum-per. Boy, I’m glad I did! What an uplifting experience followed.

I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is, and I didn’t notice that the light had changed. It is good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn’t honked, I’d never have noticed.

I soon found that lots of people feel the same way. Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, “For the love of GOD! GO! GO! My Lord, GO! What an exuberant cheerleader he was for the Lord.

Everyone else started honking too. I just leaned out of my window and started wav-ing and smiling at all these lovely people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love. There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yell-ing something about a “sunny beach”. I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle fi nger stuck up in the air. I asked your cousin Jimmy (my teenage grandson) in the back seat what that sign meant. He replied that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I’ve never been to Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and

gave him the good luck sign right back.Jimmy burst out laughing … why, even he

was enjoying this religious experience.A couple of the people were so caught up

in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed again. So, I grinned and waved to all my sisters and brothers, and drove on through the intersection.

I noticed I was the only car that got through that intersection before the light turned red again, and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared. So, I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the Hawai-ian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks. Love, Grandma

Quote of the Week“Happy Easter.”

Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned.Vi June is past Democratic state rep-

resentative for House District 35. She is a former mayor of Westminster and a former newspaper publisher. A Westminster resident for more than four decades, she and her husband, Bob, have fi ve grown children and eight grandchildren.

Reality provides a kick in the butt Some of my so-called in-depth, thought-

ful analysis went out the window during the fi rst full round of play. I had checked and double-checked the RPI ratings, the fi nal 25 top ranked teams and the Vegas betting odds. I tried to separate my head from my heart in the selection process. But then there was the sheer shock factor of upsets, which always puts me in a tail spin. How could Harvard dare to upset New Mexico? The nerve of the Wichita State Shockers knocking off #1 seed Gonzaga at the “Dance.” And who is Florida Gulf Coast? This was not the plan.

An American institutionIt’s March Madness time again and oh boy

is it a hoot. Gather around the water cooler; compare your brackets with your friends and co-workers; lament those early, ill-fated bad picks and get the trash talking going. From the middle of March to the second Monday night in April, the national basketball tourna-ment have become an American institution, almost a national holiday (given the lack of productivity in offi ces across the land, maybe President Obama should declare it a national event. Even non-sports-inclined folks are apt to grab a bracket sheet and fi ll it out.

A healthy distractionThankfully we have these distractions.

Otherwise, it would be harder to swallow the jump in gasoline prices; learning the real facts and taxes about Obamacare; the lack of im-provement on the Rockies baseball roster; the dysfunctional Congress and president; stop-page of White House tours due to sequestra-tion; the human slaughter in Syria, Dumervil signing with the Ravens; the challenge to fi nd a job or keep one; making ends meet each month and more. While March Madness will also pass (April 8 is the championship game), it gives millions of Americans an opportunity to dabble in statistics, odds-making, wagers,

trash talking, bragging rights for their alma mater or the most correct picks. They can take their minds off the heavy stuff.

Think of the economic surgeGet ready as the fi eld narrows from the

original 68 teams for the Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight, Final Four and a National Champion, all coming your way on television. We got hats, T-shirts, plastic or glass mugs, glasses or shot glasses, banners, fl ags, car fl ags, decals for your car, decals for your face, decals for your decals and more — all to help spike the national economy. You would not believe the sales tax revenue that cities, counties and states derive from March Madness stuff. And think of all the tourism dollars generated by the rabid fans who travel to the basketball arenas across America to cheer on their teams — air fl ights, hotel, meals, adult bever-ages, more beverages, postcards, taxi cabs and more souvenirs.

Package dealIt is a ready-made package deal for the

country — the only economic jump-start that Obama and the Congress overlooked, but it is working and is a non-government-funded, therapeutic prescription from our everyday life. Go Jayhawks!

Bill Christopher is former city manager of Westminster and used to represent District J on the RTD board of directors.

new law improves open records processKudos to Lakewood’s newest state rep-

resentative on the passage of her first bill. Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood, recently looked on as Gov. John Hickenlooper signed her House Bill 1041 into law.

The bill creates an important improve-ment to Colorado’s open records laws by requiring government custodians to make records available to the public whether they come to the agency to pick up the records or ask to have them sent to them.

While most governments had routinely sent records to people who asked for them, there was no requirement in the law that

they do so and in a number of cases, people asking for records were told that they were welcome to come get them, even

though doing so was a hardship.Pettersen’s bill was developed and sup-

ported by a broad coalition that included media and advocacy organizations and representatives of both state and local government.

It is a great example of how the public and the government can work in concert to make our governmental entities both more efficient and more user friendly.

Our democratic society works best when members of the public know that their governmental bodies are open and transparent and when citizens have easy

access to the operations and records of all government entities.

House Bill 1041 is a thoughtful and practical response that will improve how the public keeps track of the activities of governments throughout Colorado, be they state agencies, institutions of higher edu-cation, local governments, school districts or special districts.

Congratulations to Pettersen both for choosing such an important issue for her first legislative attempt and for successfully guiding it through the process and into Colorado law.

opinions / yours and ours

Students take road less traveled byOne evening last week, I was awed and

inspired for nearly three hours by 28 Colo-rado high school students.

They were the best of the best, the cream of their respective crops, the lone representatives of their high schools — rural, urban, charter, religious and those dedicated to special courses of study or specific populations, such as Denver School of the Arts and Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind.

These young people filled the Lakewood Cultural Center with teachers, parents, mentors and cheering fans. They also filled the venue with classic literature, with con-temporary thought and expression, with their own interpretations of conversations from generations past.

What were these 19 girls and 9 boys doing? Participating in Poetry Out Loud, a nationwide contest that helps young people master public-speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about our liter-ary heritage. Students memorize and recite great poetry they choose from an anthol-ogy of more than 650 poems.

Poetry Out Loud is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and The Poetry Foundation, who partner with Colo-rado Creative Industries for our state com-petition. State champions receive $200 and a trip with an adult chaperone to Washing-ton, D.C., for the national championship; their schools receive a $500 stipend to purchase poetry books. A total of $50,000 in awards and stipends is presented annu-ally at the national finals.

For those of us required to memorize literature in high school — “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.” (Miss Richards’ class, Monte Vista High School, circa 1974) — such recitation may not seem like a monumental task, as witnessed here by my remarkable recollection of a line from Wil-liam Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar.”

Except that, hmmm, I was not com-peting with anyone. Plus, I only had to memorize a passage or two. Students com-peting in Poetry Out Loud at the state and national finals must learn three poems…and learn them well.

Participants from ninth through 12th grade are evaluated on physical presence, voice and articulation, dramatic appro-priateness, evidence of understanding, accuracy, level of difficulty and overall performance.

Think about yourself as a high school freshman. Then picture yourself alone on a stage, in a spotlight, facing an audience in the center of which sit several distin-guished judges rating you on these seven factors. Have you run away screaming from your own imagination yet?

These 28 young people did not.In fact, they excelled. They awed. They

inspired … not only their supporters, but also the accomplished judges, the emcee and the representatives of Colorado’s thriv-ing literary and arts community. As one of the teachers and mentors — herself a published poet with a master of fine arts degree — commented afterward, “I was intoxicated by the English language and the talents of the students.”

From this stage full of talent, Alice Kilduff, a junior from the Denver School of the Arts, emerged as the 2013 Colorado Poetry Out Loud State Champion and will compete in the National Finals in D.C. in April. Last season, more than 365,000 students participated in the competition; Thornton High School senior Sam Opoku represented Colorado and placed an im-pressive ninth in the national finals.

For many people, poetry is considered difficult, out of reach, inaccessible. Yet all we need to do is spend about three hours on a spring evening to understand that the road to great literature need not be the one “less traveled by” (Robert Frost, “The Road Not Taken.”)

Alice, you and your fellow competitors make all the difference. We wish you well at the national finals.

Andrea W. Doray is a writer (and a poet) who thanks the National Endowment of the Arts; The Poetry Foundation; Colorado Creative Industries; the sponsors, organiz-ers and volunteers; the teachers, mentors and families; and especially the competitors for bringing great literature to life. Contact Andrea at a.doray@andreadoray.com.

how did you spend the snowy weekend?We asked people enjoying coffee and breakfast at the Windy Saddle in Golden about how they weathered the snowy winter weekend.

“I drove to the airport to pick family up. It was definitely a slower drive out there than usual. And then we had some hot food to warm us up.” - Jeff Wheeler, Colorado School of Mines

“We drove in from Chicago and hit a blizzard about 75 miles out of Denver. We enjoyed the Craft Beer Week in Denver and watching NCAA games.” - Mike Caffarini, Chicago

“We just stayed home and built a fire , and played computer games, and read … and shoveled.” - Sandy Fasso, Arvada

“Flew here from Washing-ton, and I’ve eaten a lot. We liked the Wooden Table in Denver, and the Windy Saddle in Golden.” - Sarah Wheeler, Pullman, Wash.

Where were you born?I was born in Tonawanda, New York and grew up in

Broomfield, Colorado since I was about six. I’ve been in the area for thirty-five years.

What do you like most about it?I like the small community, where you know most of

your neighbors. Especially being in real estate it’s been fun watching Broomfield and the other areas grow and to be a part of that.

How long have you worked in Real Estate?I have been in real estate since 1997; I am in my 17th

year!

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with?

I specialize in Commercial Real Estate. I offer tenant and landlord representation for commercial properties as well as buyers and sellers of commercial real estate. I am experienced at what I do and I work hard to make sure my deals flow smoothly from start to finish. I enjoy meeting new people and developing new relationships and it feels good when we are able to have a successful transaction and accomplish their goals.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?

Oftentimes it’s finding a good fit for a client for a property. It’s much different than looking for a house. Each client has specific needs that the property must fit – an auto mechanic needs something very different than

an attorney.

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not work-ing?

I enjoy spending time with my family, my wife and two little girls that are seven and nine. We like to do all kinds of outdoor activities, fishing, biking and going to the mountains.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a commercial property?

Like the housing market, we’re seeing good activity in the commercial sector. Pre-inspections done to be pro-active for any potential issues are a great way to build con-fidence for buyers. I would recommend that every time.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a commercial property?

Take the time to look at comparable properties as a tool when negotiating your purchase.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

I’ve seen properties that had illegal use activity like a swinger’s club or a masseuse parlor with a full array of

fixtures for the clientele.

A home warranty can help protect a buyer’s new investment and offer peace of mind

Buying a home is argu-ably one of the largest purchases a person will make. It can also be one

of the most stressful. Individuals take quite a financial leap when buying a home. Even after careful consideration of funds and bud-geting, it’s easy to become overex-tended. A home warranty can take some of the bite out of unexpected expenses.

Although home buyers are urged to hire an inspector and check a property and structure from top to bottom before signing on the dotted line, a home inspec-tor cannot foresee everything that may crop up after a person moves into a home.

“When my home inspector re-viewed the property he found only minor things that needed atten-tion,” says Jeannine in New Jer-sey. “After Imoved in, we shortly learned that the crawl space had flooding issues that would require a lot of money to fix properly.”

Home warranties can be a smart investment that take some of the financial pressure off of new

homeowners. They can also be ne-gotiated into the sale terms of the home so that the seller is respon-sible for providing the warranty to the new buyer.

Home warranties do not negate the need for homeowner’s insur-ance, but they can add protection against large monetary pay-outs to repair many items around the house. Policies may differ as to specific coverage, but most home warranties will cover major sys-tems of the home, such as heating/cooling, plumbing, electrical, as well as certain appliances.

To decide if a warranty is the right investment, home buyers should consider the following:

* Home warranties are only as good as the company backing them. Careful investigation into the trustworthiness of the warran-ty company and its track record should be completed.

* Read the fine print of the war-ranty. Learn what exclusions exist, which may not make the warranty practical.

* Keep in mind that the war-ranty company reserves the right

to determine if a repair or replace-ment is adequate in a claim situa-tion.

* In general, warranty compa-nies work with their own set of contractors. This means a home-owner may not be able to hire his or her own preferred contractors to do work.

* There may be a deductible or a fee charged prior to having a tech-nician assess a repair situation.

* The warranty company may require inspection of the house to be sure items are in good working order before offering a plan.

* If a warranty is offered through a home seller, there may be no ne-gotiation on the coverage or com-pany used.

Home buyers should keep in mind that there are many un-forseen expenses that can arise when purchasing a new home. Having some additional protec-tion, such as a home warranty, could mean saving money on out-of-pocket repairs. ■

Celtic Tavern is best bet

The Celtic Tavern at 1801 Blake St. is in its 13th year of doing business and is ready to branch out by providing Denver’s only Off Track Betting facility.

“We have changed as the business grew,” said owner Noel Hickey, “by ex-panding in 2004 into the space next door, opening Delaney’s cigar bar and lounge. We are now ready for the next change. On April 6, we will open the only Off Track Betting facility in the City and County of Denver.

“It will add excitement in both bars. We will open at 10 a.m. every day. On May 4, Kentucky Derby day, we will be hosting one of the biggest Derby day parties seen in Colorado. With the help of our friends at the Ninth Door and Vesta Dipping Grill, the Blake Street trifecta will be the place to be.”

One Lincoln Park problemsThe One Lincoln Park building that

Dealin’ Doug Moreland and Tom “Lou from Littleton” Manoogian co-own is hav-ing problems again. Apparently they are replacing all the water pipes with copper pipes. Water is being shut off intermit-tently.

The water issue has affected the White Crown Credit Union (yes, my credit union) this week and this will be an ongo-ing project for a year.

‘Race’ pushes audience to the EdgeLatest production tackles racism, workplace issuesBy Clarke Readercreader@ourcoloradonews.com

Lakewood’s The Edge Theatre has be-come the local go-to spot to see the works of playwright David Mamet, so it should be no surprise that the first production at its new location is a regional premiere of one of Mamet’s most recent works.

With his infamous sharp wit and un-compromising gaze, Mamet shines a light on modern race relations and work envi-ronment in “Race.”

The production will play weekends at the theater, 1560 Teller St., through April 7. Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Satur-days, 2 p.m. Saturdays and 6 p.m. Sundays.

This is the third Mamet production in three seasons for The Edge, but Rick Yaco-nis, executive producer and artistic direc-tor, said he had to work very hard to get the rights for “Race,” particularly because it has never been done in the region before. He said he wanted the Edge’s first performance in its new home to be a first for the play.

“The play takes place in a modern law office, and is about two male lawyers — one black, one white — and their young, black, female intern. The team is offered the chance to defend a rich, white executive against charges of raping a young, black woman.

“You really see that it’s about the lies people tell, and how there is still racism in the country; it’s just discussed in a more po-litically correct way.” Yaconis said.

Robert Kramer, who directed last year’s production of Mamet’s “Glengarry Glen Ross,” and Yaconis said he was tapped to direct “Race” because he knows what to do with Mamet.

“It’s been great, but a challenge because of the new space and Mamet’s words,” Kramer said. “There’s no intermission in the play, and it almost feels like you’re watching a movie instead of a play.”

Since the play tackles such a sensitive topic, Kramer said, the first thing he did with the four actors was sit them down and have several discussions about their experi-ences dealing with racism. He said the dis-

cussions not only helped to refine the char-acters the actors are playing, but brought the cast closer together.

“I really wanted the actors to be advo-cates for their characters,” Kramer said. “At times throughout the story, every character could be found guilty of something, and the audience will decide on its own who is guilty.”

Kramer said audience members will see the play through their own perspec-tives, with all the experience that brings. For example, it is never made clear where the story actually takes place, and audience members will have varying opinions on the setting.

“Race” is supposed to spark conversa-tions after the lights come down, and both Kramer and Yaconis said they’re looking forward to that aspect of it.

“The outcome is pretty open, and I think it will be interesting for the audience to talk about that,” he said. “I want to hear what

they think will happen next and who is re-ally guilty.”

For tickets and more information, call 303-232-0363 or go online to www.theepro-ject.org.

New shows in Denver and Boulder worth checking out“The Doyle and Debbie Show”� playing

at the Garner Galleria Theatre in the Den-ver Center for the Performing Arts proved to be as entertaining as the press releases claimed. Created by Bruce Arnston, who also stars in the show as Doyle Mayfield, this rollicking musical is knee-slapping funny. Arnston is hilarious, and some of his moves/sounds are beyond mere descrip-tion.

We meet a has-been country star who is attempting to revive his career after 30 years, four wives and three Debbies. His new Debbie (Jennifer Blood) hopes this will be her chance to make a big splash in Nashville. The interaction between D and D is priceless.

Rounding out the team is their one-man band, Buddy (Matthew Carlton). Keep your eyes on Buddy. As I talked with my com-

panions afterwards, I found that I’�d missed some good stuff while I concentrated on D and D. Here’�s a small sample of the original tunes: “Grandma Flickertail,”� �Blue Stretch Pants”� and “�Fat Women in Trailers.”

For tix and info on all DCPA productions, call 303-893-4100 or visit www.denvercent-er.org.

�”Church Basement Ladies”� is the cur-rent musical production playing up the road at Boulder’�s Dinner Theatre. Anyone who has been in a typical church basement will immediately feel right at home. The gentle humor is a tonic for the spirit and comfort food for the soul. You’�ll recognize the elderly matriarch, the young bride-to-be and her mother, the resident comedi-enne and the long-suffering cleric.

The delightful cast includes Barb Reeves, Bren. Eyestone Burron, Alicia Dunfee, Heather Doris and Wayne Kennedy, who plays the pastor. Through story and mu-sic, the four women, along with their kind-hearted spiritual leader, navigate a Christ-mas dinner that draws a record number of diners, the funeral of a friend, a Hawaiian Easter fundraiser (wait ’til you see the bun-ny), and a wedding.

It was lovely to see Bren. back at BDT. She and her husband, Brian, are now part of the Candlelight Dinner Theatre family up I-25 near Johnson’�s Corner. Last time I saw her, she was playing a very restrained and sophisticated (for Bren.) version of Mame. Now, she’s back in her sweet insanity. De-lightful. Kudos all around to a strong cast.

For info and tix, call 303-449-6000 or vis-it www.bouldersdinnertheatre.com. And, by the way, don’�t forget the yummy food.

Sports sceneHow about our Colorado basketball

teams? We’�re right in the middle of March Madness, as I write this, and CSU has won its first tourney game in about 200 years. CU plays today. I have now added basketball to my �favorite sports� list. Amazing what win-ning will do for a fan base.

Tamayo adds brunchTamayo, the 12-year-old

Larimer Square high-end Mexican spot that went through a major renova-tion, has upped the ante on brunch.

Some gal pals and I got invited to a friends and family tire-kicking try-out of brunch on Sunday, which featured a $35 all-you-can-eat and drink “bottomless Margarita bunch” for $35.

But the “drink” part isn’t limited to Margari-tas. Mimosas made with traditional orange juice, guave, mango or blood orange, as well as Bloody Marys and Bloody Marias are included.

And, if you’re a teeto-taler, the price drops to

$20; $10 for children 12 and under. The menu includes sopas y ensaladas, antojitos (starters), tacos and tortas and cazuelas (baked eggs).

Glass Half FullGlass Half Full, the

stand-alone bar inside Alamo Drafthouse Little-ton, unveiled its cocktail menu available to moviego-ers when the theater and bar opened this week.

The bar pours locally distilled spirits from com-panies such as Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey and Leopold Bros., as well as a seasonal cocktail menu curated by award-winning Alamo Drafthouse Beverage Director Bill Norris.

“With the signature drinks at Glass Half Full, we’re trying to bridge the gap between the beer drinker and the cocktail drinker,” said Norris. “Local beer like Left Hand Milk Stout fi nds its way into cocktails, and beer compo-nents like hops and malt fi nd their way into classic drinks like daiquiris and gimlets.”

Walling leaves Robinson DairyCharlie Walling, one of

the most amiable big-shots I know, is leaving Dean Foods as general manager of Robinson Dairy, effective March 31.

Walling’s departure is a result of a “sweeping restructuring,” he said in a recent goodbye email mes-sage he sent to colleagues, friends and family.

“It is with mixed emo-tions that I announce my departure from Dean Foods as general manager of Robinson Dairy, due to a sweeping restructure, effec-tive March 31. Leading the Robinson Dairy team has been a tremendously re-warding experience. I wish everyone at Dean Foods the very best, and for the opportunity to work with

these truly talented people, I am, and always will be, grateful.

“Since relocating from Houston, the last 12 years in Denver have been the most fulfi lling years of my life. This focused, col-laborative and energetic community welcomed me and my family with open arms. Valerie and I plan to continue to live in Colorado as I pursue other career op-portunities. I look forward to our continued friendship and appreciate the support from each of you.”

I asked Walling, who is a personal friend as well as a huge supporter of my fa-vorite breast cancer charity, Sense of Security, about his separation from the Rob-inson folks. He said, “I am fortunate and privileged to have led the Robinson Dairy team and been as-sociated with two Colorado leaders, Dick and Eddie Robinson. I will truly miss these talented friends and thank them for 12 success-

ful and rewarding years.”Sal Siraguse, Robin-

son Dairy account man-ager, said, “Charlie will be missed. Great guy, great boss and so much fun to be around! We are very sad to see him leave Robinson Dairy.”

Pizza pizza!Oblios Pizzeria has

made an application with the city to move into the old Fleur Bistro spot at 1225 Logan St. in Capitol Hill. Oblios already has a thriving Park Hill location at 6115 E. 22nd Ave. Many fans call Oblios a friendly, old Italian neighborhood pizzeria. Besides pizza, Oblios serves calzones, lasagna, salads and Italian and meatball sandwiches. Fleur Bistro opened in 2011, but lasted less than two years, closing with little notice in late October.

Legacy soccer beats Standley Lake in OTBeaulieu’s OT goal keeps Lightning perfect on the seasonBy Jonathan Manessjmaness@ourcoloradonews.com

ARVADA — The Legacy girls soccer team continues to find a way to win.

The Lightning overcame a first-half def-icit on March 21 to rally and beat Standley Lake, 2-1 at the North Area Athletic Com-plex.

“We didn’t sit back after we got the tie,” Legacy coach David Castro said. “We weren’t going to accept anything less than a win.”

Brooke Williams rebounded senior Lau-ren Cook’s corner kick and beat Gators’ Krissy Collins for the Lightning’ first goal midway through the second half and tied the game at 1.

In overtime, Jasmine Beaulieu scored the game-winner barely two minutes into the extra period to give Legacy the victory.

It was another telling victory for the Lightning, who improved to 5-0 on the season. While Legacy hasn’t been blowing teams away early in the season, the vet-eran squad is finding a way to win games.

The Lightning, who are currently ranked No. 3 in Class 5A, have won their three pre-vious games by only one goal.

“We are just playing hard, and the girls aren’t sitting back,” Castro said.

Legacy has six returning starters, in-cluding junior Kelsey Killean — who has already signed with Georgia.

Killean is leading the Lightning with

four goals this season, while Cook has two goals and three assists.

Standley Lake took advantage in the first half and got on the scoreboard first when Taylor McRae rebounded Emily Ashmore’s shot and found an open net for the goal.

However, those were the only two shots on goal the Gators could muster against the tough Legacy squad.

“(Legacy) is a very talented squad,” Standley Lake coach Jeff Vigil said. “You could tell they came out in the second half and pressured us, and we wilted by giving up the one (goal).”

It was the first loss for the Gators, who dropped to 3-1-1 overall.

On Mar. 22, Standley Lake beat Jeffco League rival Pomona 2-1. Andra Thaden and Shelby McBain each scored goals for the Gators. Haylee Harris had the lone goal for Pomona.

The Gators have two more non-con-ference games, before entering confer-ence play on Apr. 2 against Arvada West. They are at Niwot on Friday and at George Washington on Apr. 1.

The Lightning open Front Range League play on Apr. 4, when they face rival Moun-tain Range.

ASMUS, LOPEZ MAKES FIRST TEAM

Standley Lake’s Marcus Asmus and Haley Lopez were chosen to the Jeffer-son County League first-team all-conference team.

Sara Shileny and Casey Torbet were honorable mention for the Stand-ley Lake girls, while Dylan Critchfield and Connor Du-rant were honorable men-tions for the Gators’ boys.

WOLVERINES CONTINUE TO DOMINATE:

Skyview girls’ soccer team continued its domi-nating way on Mar. 21, beating Fort Lupton 10-0.

The Wolverines scored six goals in the first half and four in the second.

With the win, Skyview improved to 4-0 overall and 1-0 in the Colorado 7 League. The Wolverines have now outscored their opponents 40-0.

tennis team improved to 2-2 on the season, after beating Greeley West 6-1 on Mar. 21.
