Construction improvements happening at high schoolBy Ashley [email protected]

Standley Lake High School is in the pro-cess of some mainte-nance improvements this summer.

The improvements include: ADA site ac-cess to the ball fields, elevator assessment and improvements, paving and concrete replacement, backflow and sprinkler drain improvements, HVAC upgrades, general ren-ovation of the bleach-ers, electrical outlets and the public access system and repairs to the tennis courts.

“The improve-ments will help ensure a safe learning and working environment for the school, depart-ment personnel and the general public, “said project director Mike Moonan. “The improvements ad-dress basic infrastruc-ture that is in need of replacement. “

In 2012, Jeffco Pub-lic School voters ap-proved a $99 million bond package for fa-cilities.

According to the Jeffco website, the ma-jority of the projects for the entire district in the bond program is expected to be com-plete by 2015, with

only five expected for completion in 2016.

Moonan said the Standley Lake projects and improvements will be completed by the end of the sum-mer. But until then, residents living near the school can expect some inconvenient construction, he add-ed.

“Normal access to the school will be re-stricted to insure the public’s safety, but bar-ricades and construc-tion signage should be clearly posted to help

keep everyone safe,” he said. “There will more than likely be some additional noise and dust during the day.”

The district is using water trucks to help keep the dust down, but is asking residents for their patience dur-ing the construction period.

City highlights parks, recreationCity’s amenities in the spotlightBy Ashley [email protected]

A proclamation was passed declaring July “parks and recreation month” at the June 24 Westminster city council meeting. The city’s participation is part of the nation-wide celebration focused on honoring the impacts of parks, recreation and libraries in communities across the United States.

For Westminster residents, it’s clear parks and recreation are two very impor-tant aspects needed to the quality of life sought while living in Westminster.

According to a recent survey conducted by the city, 87 percent of respondents be-lieve that protecting the natural environ-ment, creating a beautiful community, providing green natural spaces, trails and paths as well as providing opportunities to support physical wellness are all very im-portant purposes of parks and recreation.

“Parks and recreation are high priorities for people in Westminster, and I think that’s a big reason why people choose to live and raise their family here,” said Don Tripp, Westminster’s parks, recreation, and librar-ies director. “People are highly interested in the trail system and access to open space.”

The survey was conducted by an out-side agency and was sent to 3,000 residents in April with an overall response rate of 22 percent.

Tripp said the survey is meant to help

the city prioritize for the future to ensure the city is providing what residents need and want in terms of parks, reaction and libraries.

“Because residents rated parks and rec-reation high in the survey, it’s important for us to keep our trails, open space areas and parks up to par,” Tripp said.

“For the next seven to 10 years we are re-ally focusing on the properties we already have acquired and working to keep them fun and safe as well as meet people’s needs in terms of wellness.”

Westminster residents are also served by the Hyland Hills Park and Recreation Dis-trict, the first park and recreation district formed in Colorado in 1955. It serves more than 110,000 residents in the north metro.

Hyland Hills communications director Joann Cortez said the mission of the district is to provide the best possible service to the community through a variety of program-ming, facilities, parks and open space areas. Home to Water World, Adventure Golf & Raceway, The Ice Centre at the Promenade, golf course and other community centers, Cortez said the money made from those fa-cilities are the backbone for the funding for the rest of the district.

“We have a strong philosophy to work closely with our foundation so that no child is turned away from a program because the child can’t afford to participate,” she said. “We are in the business of making memo-ries, and we take pride in our facilities. We work hard to keep them affordable for fami-lies, so that families can get the most value out of their entertainment dollars and have a great time at the same time.”

Love planted here sprouts in AfricaOn an unseasonably cold April day

three years ago, snow broke from the sky and chilled business for a Castle Rock garage sale. But high school student Hanna Tenerowicz and her friends in the French Honor Society slapped high fives in jubila-tion.

They had raised $150, enough to pay for two Congolese girls to stay in school another year and lessen their risk of being married at 13 or 14 in exchange for money to feed their families.

“They were just so excited that we raised enough to sponsor a girl,” said Anne Damanti, Hanna’s French teacher at Castle View High School.

But Hanna, 19, a wisp of a young wom-an who just completed her freshman year at Wellesley College near Boston, wants to do more.

Two weeks ago she left for the Demo-cratic Republic of Congo to document the lives of schoolgirls, bring back their hopes and ideas for community transformation, and establish connections to help those dreams come true.

“Gender equality makes a difference,” Hanna, whose soft voice conveys convic-tion with quiet, deep passion, said before leaving. “It’s a domino effect on all kinds of things.”

The story of how this came to be — that a girl so shy Anne often couldn’t hear her speak in class has grown into a young woman daring to change lives — converges on a shared connection to the French lan-guage and a motivation to help.

It is a story of compassion, determina-tion and, quite simply, courage. Because it takes bravery to stretch beyond the familiar, to push cultural boundaries, to try to make a difference in a world so big

and complicated we sometimes wonder whether what we do matters.

Finally, perhaps most importantly, it is a story of empowerment.

And it begins with Sandra Bea, who emigrated to Colorado in 2001 from the French-speaking D.R. Congo to continue her studies in education. A French teacher, she graduated from Metropolitan State University of Denver and today is dean of students at Global Village Academy, a lan-guage immersion school in Denver.

The daughter of an engineer of a lo-cal mining company in Mbuji-Mayi, the country’s third largest city, Sandra grew up without worries: “I was eating three times a day; I went to school with a car. I grew up really easily. It was not hard like the other girls are facing right now. We never had any conversation about `You are going to get married in two days because we don’t have the money.’”

It wasn’t until she was 22 and student teaching in her former high school that she understood the reality. Every two weeks, it seemed, another student would leave. They were, she learned, getting married.

“Why?” she asked.“Because, Madam, we are not like you,”

they told her. “You can afford it. We cannot

afford it.”“That,” Sandra said, “broke my heart.”So, four years ago, she founded the non-

profit Muanjadi Organization, a women’s empowerment project that helps girls complete their high school education and avoid early arranged marriages.

“For many parents in the Congo, marry-ing off their daughters constitutes a source of revenue in a country where people live with less than $1 a day with a GDP per capita of $300,” Sandra writes on the orga-nization’s website.

Through fundraising and donations, the organization — whose name means Brave Woman — provides tuition and supplies for girls in seventh through 12th grades at the same school Sandra attended.

Cost for one girl for one year of high school: $75.

Cost for one year of college: $350.Anne, originally from Belgium, met San-

dra and learned about Muanjadi at a state world language conference three years ago. She brought the idea back to her French Honor Society, which was looking for a community service project.

Students learned how most girls eat just one meal a day and how the school has no water or electricity. They compared the cost of one year of high school to what teens here might spend on fancy jeans or a Starbucks coffee habit. “That’s not a lot to have the freedom to actually go to school and try to be something,” Anne said.

That, Hanna said, coupled with the specter of forced marriage, “was a pretty

Westminster neWs in a hurryCommunity trash and recycling efforts

Westminster licenses trash collec-tors to provide service in the community. Residents and businesses contract directly with the collector for service. In 2012, Westminster City Council revised the trash collection requirements ensuring that all residential, business and multifamily units in Westminster are offered recycling by licensed collectors. Most collectors charge a separate rate for recycling. This rate is typically between $0.10 and $0.15 per day or $3 to $4 additional per month. The city also provides recycling drop-off locations. There are more than 10 different licensed trash collectors in Westminster, contact each one and see who has the most com-petitive price for you.

Master planning for former mall begins Westminster Mall imagined as new urban center Submitted by the City of Westminster

The City of Westminster is moving ahead with a master plan for its new downtown on the site of the former West-minster Mall.

The city will work with internationally recognized urban planning fi rm Torti Gallas and Partners to create a blue-print that will guide future development of the 105-acre site, located at U.S. 36 and Sheridan Boulevard.

Active negotiations are also under way with a variety of developers that can bring their specifi c expertise to the overall project, including residential, offi ce and retail sec-tors, all with an urban fl air.

Working with different developers while still being guid-ed by a master plan will help the city achieve its vision for a vibrant, mixed-use, high-density community with all the elements of a true downtown.

“The truth is, we own this vision,” said Westminster Mayor Nancy McNally. “This council and this community are committed to having the right development and the right developers. We control the site, and we’re going to make sure this new downtown lives up to our vision.”

Over the next several months city planners will be work-ing with Torti Gallas to create a master plan that will pro-vide a framework and vision for the new downtown over the next 20-30 years. Key components of the plan include allowed land uses, public parks and plazas, multi-modal transit, focus on urban densities, development fl exibility, and taking advantage of the fabulous views the site has of the Front Range.

Public participation is welcome throughout the plan-ning process and open house meetings will be set in this summer to evaluate draft proposals for the plan.

More information on the master planning process, in-cluding details on opportunities for the public to partici-pate, will be coming in the next few months. The city is tak-ing on the master planning process rather than working with an overall master developer for the site.

“We’ve had serious and productive talks with national developers over the past few years, to see if there was a mas-ter developer we could bring on board to help us achieve our unique vision,” said City Manager Brent McFall. “We think that creating our own master plan for the site, and then working with different developers from various sec-

tors, is the better path forward.”Achieving the ambitious vision of a new development

with the personality of a downtown that has evolved over time is a challenging task that requires patience and com-mitment, added McFall.

“Because we control the site we have been able to be pa-tient throughout this process,” he explained. “We’ve been able to work through the worst recession in several genera-tions and now we’re ready to move ahead aggressively.”

Along with improving market conditions, McFall said the site’s strong demographics continue to gain interest

from developers.“The great fundamentals of the site — its size, its access

to transportation, the sweeping views of the Front Range, the household income in the area — continue to generate interest from the development community,” said McFall. “With the improving economy, we’re seeing greater interest in what we think is one of the prime opportunities not just in Colorado but in the country.”

Not only a time to vote, consider servingOK, it sounds hokey, but we believe it.The city council and school board

elections coming up this fall — always on the uneven years — feature democracy at its best.

These nonpartisan races basically involve folks who want to make a dif-ference, and the fact that most of these positions involve little or no compensa-tion is evidence enough.

We admire the people in this group of roughly 1,500 elected officials in Colo-rado because public service is one of the highest callings. And as this annual event shapes up, we like to see candidates in all races. Uncontested races simply don’t provide the choices voters should have or the valuable discourse that comes from competition.

We encourage citizens who observe vacant races in their districts and cities

to take a look in the mirror, think about stepping up, or think about asking some-one else to step up.

Some of the best elected officials are the ones who were recognized by others for their skills, energy and insights and then urged to run. When three or four people think a neighbor has a lot to offer, it’s time to make a phone call or knock on a door. Be bold.

For those who run, we have a few friendly reminders. The odd years are the nonpartisan years. By state law, city council, school board and special

districts are nonpartisan. Although it is handy to team with their parties, we urge candidates to honor the nonpartisan framework, and we urge voters to assess candidates by looking at their character, skills and drive — not party affiliation.

The late statesman Ted Strickland of Adams County once told us that the most important asset of an elected official is an open mind. To that point we do like candidates who work hard to keep learning and stay close to the pulse of a community — continually checking in with constituents and not making as-sumptions.

And to the voters, remember to look for balance, look at your boards and council and think about what is miss-ing. What is needed — an attorney, an engineer, a shop owner? And — not to discriminate but to diversify — if all the

members of the board have the same first digit in their ages, maybe older or younger representatives would improve the representative mix.

Sam Mamet, longtime executive direc-tor of the Colorado Municipal League, which interacts with 60-70 cities around the state, often emphasizes how reward-ing public service is and tells those who serve that they will look back and feel good about at least one thing they had a hand in — perhaps nobody will remem-ber what you did, but “you’ll know” he says. And of course the act of simply contributing — recognized or not — is reward for the soul.

For the most part, candidates in school board and city council races sim-ply want to do something to better their communities. That’s good stuff. Be part of it one way or the other.

New tech engulfs thread of cultural continuity

Let’s play a little game: I’m going to quote a famous line, and you’re going to try to remember what it was from. Ready?

“Luke, I am your father.”Okay, that’s an easy one. How about:

“Fly, my pretties, Fly!!”Getting a little harder, huh? Okay, let’s

try this one on for size: “With malice to-ward none, with charity for all ... “

Still with me? Actually, I’m guessing there’s an interesting split of readers here: everybody over the age of about 55 prob-ably knew the answer to all three; people between 30 and 55 probably knew the first two; and, likely, anyone under 30 has very little idea where the last two come from.

Of course, the first one was easy: “Star Wars,” or, to be more accurate, “The Empire Strikes Back.” The second one, familiar to many, is from “The Wizard of Oz.” Weirdly, I don’t think my own children have ever seen that movie, though I reference it here. Growing up, we watched it once a year — it was like an event in our house the night it came on.

But I haven’t seen it on television in for-ever, and I know I’ve never rented it for my children to watch.

I was thinking about this the other day in the context of cultural continuity. There are many things that are second nature, part of the shared wisdom, of my generation and older that are not getting passed down to our children. As trivial as “Fly my pretties” is by itself, it is symptomatic of a growing chasm between generations. While there’s always been, and will always be, differences between generations, I think the separation between the generations of rotary phone-users and of tweeters is wider than it’s ever been, which makes it difficult to maintain and pass on what holds us together.

And, while “Oz” probably doesn’t matter, the last quote matters very much. Last week I spent all of my Facebook time on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday posting narrative of the Battle of Gettysburg, in honor of the

150th anniversary of that great battle. And it occurred to me that I only know Gettysburg because I chose to learn about it well after my formal education had ended; in fact, in 22 years of formal schooling, I had never once actually studied the Civil War, much less that one, pivotal battle.

And, it turns out, that is true of most of my Facebook friends, and most people my age. We studied all about the horrible way America treated the indians after the Civil War, but we never learned the names Lee, Grant, Meade, Longstreet, or Chamberlain. Which also means that we never learned about how Lincoln tried to heal a nation with that famous quote from his second in-augural.

Our cultural heritage is made up of a di-verse body of knowledge which can only be preserved if we choose to pass it on. Like-wise, that common heritage gives us one small thread which can link the generations and give the tapestry of American life a co-herence that it sometimes lacks.

So, in the wake of celebrating July Fourth, let’s try to find ways to celebrate our common history — not just the bright colors of the tapestry, but the fine stitching that holds it together.

Will Broncos win the Super Bowl?The Denver Broncos suffered an unexpected early playoff exit by a Baltimore Ravens team last season. With the start of training camp just weeks away, we asked readers if the loss and off-season moves will catapult them to a Super Bowl championship, similar to the 1996 and 1997 seasons.

Yes, this is the Broncos’ year. They needed to go through that kind of heartbreak to set them up for this season and next. They might win the next two Super Bowls!

Brock Wisne

Yes, I think we are on the verge of win-ning a Super Bowl. Sometimes a team has to go through some adversity before it makes it to the mountain top.

Gerald Wisne

Health will be a big issue. The Broncos were very lucky to have stayed so healthy last season. If the core can stay healthy, there is not a team that can stop these Broncos.

Marcus Duncan

It’s tough to say. They have the team around Peyton Manning, but we know firsthand (as Broncos fans) it is hard to get over the hump and win a Super Bowl. I am cautiously optimistic.

powerful thing to learn about.”Last school year, Muanjadi sponsored

100 girls, 11 of them thanks to Castle View. The honor society, which has correspond-ed with the girls through letters, phone and Skype, also is sponsoring a student in college — one of the girls it began sponsoring in high school three years ago. Other organization sponsors include Kent Denver Academy, Metro State, Colorado State University, a lawyers’ organization and many individuals and families.

But Hanna hopes to take the program one step further.

Her new project is Portrait of a Brave Woman.

Accompanied by Sandra, she has spent the past two weeks interviewing — in French — and filming girls at the school about their lives, but also about their ideas to implement change in their com-munities.

She plans to share the mini-documen-taries with artists who will be encouraged to create paintings about a particular girl whose story connects with them. Pro-ceeds from the sale of those paintings will go toward the girls’ personal and com-munity goals, such as becoming a nurse or training midwives to decrease the high infant mortality rate.

The objectives are several: to empower Congolese girls, improve their communi-ties and create meaningful cross-cultural connections with Western artists and buyers.

“I hope community improvement brought about by women’s ideas will help to create more positive and respectful

attitudes towards women in Mbuji-Mayi,” Hanna, also an artist, said. And “I hope the project empowers the girls themselves by helping them to personally make a difference.”

Her dream is unquestionably big.But, Anne said, “There is nothing,

anymore, that she can’t do.”Hanna’s visit, Sandra said, is the

concrete realization of what dreams and hard work can accomplish. And having someone their age talk to them and share ideas with them is inspirational: “You don’t know me, but you came to give me a chance to become someone.”

Which is exactly what Hanna wanted to do after reading “Half the Sky,” a book about the oppression of women and girls in the developing world.

“It really changed my outlook on the world,” she said. “I was really interested in doing whatever I could to make a differ-ence.”

Hanna returns this week with her vid-eos and interviews and dream.

“I’m definitely prepared for this to change my life,” she said before leaving.

Without a doubt, it will. But, in a school half a world away, girls are surely changed, too, because a stranger from a different life cared enough to learn about theirs.

That’s empowerment. The kind that makes a difference.

Cousins offer joys in family relationshipsWhen I was growing up we had some

“town” cousins who spent lots of time on the farm with us. Noreen and Bob would stay overnight a lot and we had so much fun together.

Although we’re now old we still try to get together. Sadly, it’s mostly at funerals that now compel us to renew our cousin relationships.

Come See UsA few months ago the phone rang and

it was a cousin “once removed” whom we hadn’t connected with for several years. Katie from Santa Barbara said she’s on her way to New York but could she stop over in Colorado for two days?

Of course we were thrilled, and we made plans for a big barbecue on the Fourth of July with all the families who could come. Katie was pleased that so many could make it.

First MetWe met Katie when she came to Colo-

rado to attend the University of Colorado. Because she was about the same age as our five children, she spent a lot of free time with us.

But eventually she left to go back home. We missed her but as often happens we went on with our lives and the communi-cation lessened. Years went by, except for a few Christmas cards.

Lots to Talk AboutWe had a lot of catching up to do but it

seemed like only yesterday that we were together.

She wanted to know more about her grandfather’s side of the family. Her grand-father was my “Uncle Brose.”

I showed her the autobiography my dad had written, and she gleaned a ton of infor-mation from it. She had some information already passed down – some was correct, some wasn’t.

Yes, our great grandparents came from Detroit to Minnesota. No, the last baby did not weigh 18 pounds. Uncle Brose, the last of 18 children born of the union, did weight 14 pounds at birth and Grand-mother Beste died at age 43 after birthing all those children.

Katie spent a lot of time reading about this large Beste clan and wanting to know more.

Too FastOf course the couple of days we spent

together went by too fast and through tears we said goodbye and she vowed to bring her mother next time. Her mother, Mary, is my first cousin, daughter of Uncle Brose and Auntie Celeste. It was just amazing to learn how alike our families are and how precious cousins are. We will never let so many years slip away between visits again. We’ll keep the cousins in our thoughts prayers and actions as we live out the rest of our days.

Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned.

Vi June is past Democratic state representa-tive for House District 35. She is a former mayor of Westminster and a former news-paper publisher. A Westminster resident for more than four decades, she and her husband, Bob, have five grown children and eight grandchildren.

Pursuing happiness, out my back doorDuring last week’s festivities to celebrate

our nation’s independence, I spent some time reflecting on our unalienable rights — granted by our Constitution — to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Life and liberty were pretty easy to de-fine. But what about happiness? Is it found through family, career, service, travel, life-long learning? Is my concept of happiness different than yours?

How, and where, do I pursue my happi-ness?

So I decided to look for what makes me happy.

In the process, I discovered that my own pursuit of happiness starts right here, right outside my back door, actually. Here are few of may favorites:

1) Visiting Clear Creek where it crosses Kipling Street. In addition to the happy mallards usually cooling off in the little pond on the east side of Kipling, I recently saw a heron standing stately and elegant in the reeds, a glimpse of the magical in an

ordinary setting.2) Riding the Ralston Creek Trail. On

my bike, I glide from shaded stream banks and wooden bridges to residential neigh-borhoods along West Woods Golf Club to stretches of wildlife habitat out to the res-ervoir. (Up at the top, I also enjoy the sun with the occasional snake or lizard.) From where I live, I can ride a 16-mile pictur-esque round trip up and over the reservoir.

3) Enjoying any patio, anywhere. A view of the mountains, a view of the city, a view of my neighbor’s cookout … I can pursue

happiness on a patio and simply bask in the sun, the shade, the sheer delight of something cool to drink and someplace cool to hang out.

4) Taking in Red Rocks, again. Just named the best outdoor music venue in the U.S. by Rolling Stone magazine, Red Rocks is more than an unbeatable place to attend a concert. On my recent visit to the amphitheater — in addition to the famil-iar-but-always-breathtaking scenic beauty — the sight of dozens (maybe hundreds) of early-morning zealots running the stairs, doing push-ups down the seats, or jump-ing squats up the seats was as dizzying to me as the view.

5) Looking out from Lookout Mountain. Or looking down from Lookout Mountain. It’s always exhilarating, especially if I’ve just slogged my way up through Chimney Gulch. (I think I’ll hitch a ride with my bike to the top next time and just enjoy the mountain biking downhill.)

My most recent car trip up Lookout

Mountain was with a young friend from the Czech Republic who had never been there. It was exceptionally fun to see her surprise and wonder as we wound around to the top. We stopped a couple of times for photos of the city to the east and the mountains to the west.

On our way down, as we slowed for a turn, we saw the doe. And she saw us. A road cyclist and another car stopped. In this quiet stretch of time, even in this urban-accessible place, there was a subtle communion.

Our Constitution guarantees our right to pursue that which makes us happy, and this particular moment will always remain a piece of my own personal pursuit of hap-piness.

Rally calls for immigration reformActivists lean on GOP to back bill that passed SenateBy Vic [email protected]

A group of immigration activists rallied in Denver on July 2 to call on Colorado’s Republican U.S. representatives to support an immigration-reform bill that recently passed the Senate.

“We are calling on our Republican con-gressional delegation leaders to step up, to exercise leadership, to show bipartisan will-ingness, to follow the will of the people of Colorado,” said Julien Ross of the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, during a rally that was held outside of Denver’s Republi-can Party headquarters.

The group waved Americans flags and held signs that signaled its desire for im-migration reform at the federal level. Im-migration reform is high on President Obama’s second-term priority list, but it’s an effort that faces an unknown future in the Republican-controlled House.

The bill — which passed the Democrat-ic-controlled Senate by a 68-32 vote on June 27 — overhauls immigration laws by allow-ing a pathway to citizenship for about 11 million undocumented workers. It also puts provisions in place that strengthen border security. Many House Republicans have ex-pressed concern over security issues in the bill, and some party members are opposed to a bill that they believe grants amnesty for those living here illegally.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has said through national media outlets that he will not bring the bill up for a vote if the majority Republicans in his caucus do not support it.

The purpose of the Denver rally, which was organized by Coloradans for Citizen-ship Now, was to put pressure on Colorado’s four House Republicans — Reps. Mike Coff-man, Doug Lamborn, Cory Gardner and Scott Tipton — to support the Senate bill.

Through a statement issued after the rally, Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter joined rally organizers in calling on House Repub-licans to pass immigration reform, saying that by allowing undocumented persons a pathway to citizenship it would “lead to

increased job growth and a stronger econ-omy.”

“I hope House Republican leadership will work with Democrats in a bipartisan way to protect our borders and ensure those who are working hard, paying taxes, getting an education, learning English and not committing crimes are able to achieve their American Dream as a citizen of our country,” Perlmutter said.

Colorado House Republicans are con-cerned that the Senate bill doesn’t go far enough in strengthening border security. Coffman said in a statement that in 1986, when Congress passed a major immigra-tion reform bill, the promises made “on

enforcement and border security were not promises kept.”

“I will look for solutions in the House that will provide for the reforms necessary to not only secure our borders but to verify that they remain secure,” Coffman said in the statement.

Coffman spokesman Dustin Zvonek did not wish to comment beyond what was in the statement. Rally speakers brought up Coffman’s upcoming re-election race, a contest that surely will receive national at-tention.

“Latinos came out in record numbers in the last election,” said Olivia Mendoza of the Colorado Latino Forum. “This is just the

beginning.”Ezequiel Ramirez, 19, of Highlands

Ranch, voted for the first time last year, and is one of Coffman’s constituents. Though he was born in the U.S., his parents were not.

“The message we want to get across is that this is potentially going to help out a lot of people,” Ramirez said.

“It’s going to help us become a better country. There’s a lot of people counting on (Coffman) and it’s really important for him to put his vote into this.

Asked by reporters how he’d character-ize Coffman’s re-election chances if he does not support the bill, Ramirez said, “Best of luck.”

CrossFit gym intensi� es working out By Ashley Reimers [email protected]

For the past six months Zach Wilson has been kicking people’s butts, in a good way. He’s the owner of CrossFit Undeniable, a new CrossFit gym in Westmin-ster, and his goal is to get people out of their comfort zones and into the best shape of their lives.

“I want to help people have a better overall quality of life,” he said.

“It’s not easy, it’s hard and a lot of work, but it’s so worth it when people are doing things they never thought possible.”

CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program concen-trated on constant, varied, func-tional movements performed at high intensity to achieve overall physical fitness.

Wilson, a former marine, got hooked on the exercise in 2008 after being introduced to it by a friend. During a deployment in Iraq, Wilson’s intensity to CrossFit grew and he realized he wanted to also coach CrossFit.

“I realized I had a gift for coaching. I could really relate to all different types of people,” he said.

“After that, I decided I wanted to open my own gym.”

CrossFit Undeniable opened in Westminster in January. Since then, Wilson said business has steadily grown.

To reach out even further into the community, Wilson is host-ing a grand opening event on

July 13 at the gym, 7535 W 92nd Ave.

The event will feature a fit-ness competition allowing peo-ple from the area to test their fit-ness skills. Wilson said anyone is welcome to compete. The cost is $25 per person.

“People from local gyms or other CrossFit gyms can come out and try,” he said. “The win-ner has bragging rights for being the most fit in the area. And af-ter the competition there will be a barbecue and raffle.”

The competition is also an opportunity for people to come and check out CrossFit in action.

Wilson said this type of exer-cise in not the typical gym work out, it’s varies every day and challenges a person in ways the elliptical can’t.

“When you show up at my CrossFit gym, you don’t have to think, the work out, it’s right there for you on the board tell-ing you exactly what to do,” he said.

“It never gets old. All you have to do is work your butt off, and you will see results. It throws people out of their element, but it’s worth it.”

Joel Maxfield is a coach and member of CrossFit Undeni-able. He’s been doing CrossFit for seven months and is already addicted.

He said his life’s never been the same since taking up the in-tense work out.

“I can do things I have never been able to do like pull-ups or climbing a rope. Things I never thought were possible, but can

do easily now” he said. “I’m extremely passionate

about CrossFit. I’ve never been

in this kind of shape or felt this good at 30 years old.”

Fire season brings heat to state, county Six � res in less than a month By Glenn Wallace [email protected]

Things are getting hot in Jefferson County this fi re season.

In the last four weeks, six named fi res have occurred within the coun-ty’s borders.

“And I’d say we’ve lost count of the small fi res that went unnamed because they were quickly extin-guished,” Jeffco Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Jacki Kelley.

The Jeffco Sheriff’s Department handles organization, evacuation and security duties for all fi res within un-incorporated county land.

The sheriff’s department was the lead agency on the Bluebell Fire last month, which burned 10 acres in the Evergreen area, forcing the evacua-tion of hundreds.

“In the grand scale of fi res, it was pretty small. But for the people affect-ed, they defi nitely felt it was a major event,” Kelley said.

So far, Jeffco residents have been spared the level of fi re devastation ex-perienced by the Black Forest Fire vic-tims near Colorado Springs this year,

or the Lower North Fork Fire last year. -The latter fi re claimed three lives,

23 structures and charred more than 1,400 acres of Jefferson County.

Still, Sheriff Ted Mink warns that the dry, hot weather being seen along the Front Range is similar to what was seen last year. At the end of June, he announced a fi re ban for all land to the west of State Highway 93 and C-470.

Kelley said the area would need days of considerable rain to defuse the level of fi re danger.

Beyond the potential loss of life and property, all these fi res have other effects, straining law enforcement re-sources and costing county taxpayers.

Only fi ve deputies are typically on patrol in the mountain regions of the county.

“If we’ve got two of them chasing fi re calls, that spreads us pretty thin,” Mink said, adding that he had autho-rized some overtime for patrollers to do nothing but respond quickly to re-ports of potential wildfi res.

Then there is the cost of managing those fi res that cannot be put out im-mediately.

“So far the Bluebell is going to cost the county, since we’re not get-ting state reimbursement, about $250,000,” Mink said.

A busy fi re season can easily out-strip the funding budgeted into the sheriff’s department at the beginning of the year.

Mink said he hopes the county will be reimbursed for at least a portion of the $200,000 it spent to support fi ght-ing the Lime Gulch Fire.

“We don’t worry about the money at the time,” Mink said. “We want to handle the situation, and handle the dollars and cents later.”

Rightsizing your next homeOne of today’s real estate

trends is appropriately named “rightsizing.” This happens when an existing home owner wants to right-size their housing needs in terms of space, upkeep and mortgage costs. Typically, Empty Nesters or buyers in retirement are looking to rightsize, but this trend applies to anyone look-ing to buy their next home.One of the ways current students or even recent graduates can make themselves more attractive to prospective employers is to find the right internship. Intern-ships are not always easy to get, and many of them don’t pay. But students who find the right internship often look back and recognize that their in-ternship was their first step toward a rewarding career, and a step that pro-vided valuable insight into their cho-sen field. To find the right internship, consider the following tips.

Whether you are interested in living in a traditional neighborhood or a master-planned community full of amenities, with these simple steps you will be able to find the rightsized home to fit your needs.SPACE

For the first time in many years, smaller homes have become much more dominant in the marketplace. For many, the right fitting home is smaller than ever before. The assump-

tion is that only Empty Nesters or re-tired adults would welcome less space, but today’s families are discovering the appeal of smaller homes.

Less space means less to maintain inside and out, providing more time to enjoy the home and less time clean-ing. Smaller homes also can help to rightsize costs, from the energy bill to the mortgage, which is always an attractive feature. Looking at the big-ger picture, a smaller home carries a reduced carbon footprint and adds to the environmental appeal of such a decision.UPKEEP

For some, the most important home amenity is maintenance or the lack thereof. A home within a master-planned community, for example, appeals to those who have reached a point in their lives where they want to spend less time taking care of a home and more time enjoying their home.

Generally designed to provide low-maintenance properties, these com-munities allow for a lock-and-leave lifestyle, meaning if the homeowner wants to leave for a long weekend or an extended holiday, they simply lock their home and leave without needing to arrange to have the grass cut and watered, or snow shoveled from the sidewalk. Even if they aren’t travel-ing, these homeowners can also enjoy

being at home and not having those tasks on their to-do list, ever thanks to the maintenance provided by the Home Owner’s Association (HOA). COST

When looking for a home, cost is oftentimes the leading factor in any search. Cost varies greatly depending on the age and size of a home, the sur-rounding community and a number of other factors that figure into the value of a home. When looking for your next home, make sure to con-sider what matters most to you – style of home, amenities, walkability, etc. – knowing the rightsize cost will affect which elements are possible.

One way to rightsize your cost, yet still afford many of the commu-nity features you want, is to look in a neighborhood or master-planned community that offers multiple hous-ing types. When a mixture of housing types is available – single-family, patio home or other style – it is much more reasonable to expect to find the right-sized mortgage to fit your financial needs. And, when you bring together home styles that appeal to everyone from young professionals and grow-ing families, to Empty Nesters and active adults, a vibrant community is the result.

As you head out to find your next home, don’t think of it as fitting in

with the Jones’, but rightsizing with your needs. After all, the Jones’ won’t be living there, so you shouldn’t buy a home with their needs in mind. ■

Who wants to try out for ‘Millionaire’?

Who wants to be a millionaire? Now, you can be, as the syndicated game show will audition Denverites on July 12, at the Seawell Ballroom at the Denver Perform-ing Arts Complex.

“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” audi-tions will include a timed multiple choice test and, for those people who pass, an interview with one of the show’s produc-ers.

Auditioners will be seen on a fi rst-come, fi rst-served basis and producers will audition as many people as they can.

AvidGolfer reaches 100Colorado AvidGolfer is celebrating a

100th milestone.Not that the local magazine is becom-

ing a centenarian — it still has a few years to go before hitting that drive — rather CAG is publishing its 100th issue with the July edition, on newsstands and online (www.coloradoavidgolfer.com) this week.

Editor Jon Rizzi realized a couple of months ago that the magazine was ap-proaching its 100th edition.

“It’s been a really great run so far,” he said.

To celebrate CAG No. 100, the pages pay homage to past covers along with its current cover guy Billy Casper, whose company recently took over management of The Golf Club at Ravenna in Douglas County’s Waterton Canyon area.

Other big names whose mugs have graced the coveted CAG cover include: Todd Helton (fi rst cover), John Elway (twice), Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ar-nold Palmer, Jill McGill, Amelia Earhart (last month), Amy Van Dyken, John Lynch, Terrell Davis, Don Cheadle, Kevin Costner, David Duval, Tom Weiskopf and on and on.

But Rizzi doesn’t let the fairway grass grow under his feet. He’s set his sights on Broncos QB Peyton Manning for a future cover.

“He’s only been here for a year, so we’re still working on that,” Rizzi said.

After celebrating the biggest issue ever in 2006 just before The International held its last tournament at Castle Pines, CAG, along with the rest of the country, fi gura-tively boarded up the windows to brace against the recession’s storm.

“We weathered the recession, which hit the golf business and publishing busi-ness very hard,” Rizzi said. “We kept our hand fi rmly on the tiller and navigated the waters. We pulled back from nine is-sues to eight issues a year, which made us a stronger publication.”

Rizzi, employee No. 1, was sup-ported by co-captain and publisher Allen Walters, employee No. 2 in the company majority owned by The Baker brothers — Dick, Don and Ray.

Arvada Center musical brings variety to stage By Clarke Reader [email protected]

A murder mystery. A hardened detective. A musical. A broadway cast. A modern fairy tale.

“Curtains,” the Arvada Center’s summer musical, has a bit of everything for everybody.

The show — with music and lyrics from John Kander and Fed Ebb (“Cabaret” and “Chicago”) — will play at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., until July 28. Performances will be Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday at 1 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m.

“There’s all these great different genres in the show — westerns, ’60s musicals, romances — that we get to bring out,” said director Gavin Mayer. “It gives a really interesting perspec-tive on all these different genres.”

The story of “Curtains” takes place in 1959 at an old colonial theater in Boston, where it’s opening night for the broadway-bound cast of “Robin’ Hood of the Old West.”

Unfortunately the star of the show has been murdered, and it’s up to Lieutenant Frank Cioffi to suss out the perpetrator of the crime.

Cioffi — who himself is a fan of the theater — has no shortage of sus-pects from the company — there’s the sharp-tongued producer, a recently divorced songwriting team, a pomp-ous British director, or the sweet un-derstudy.

While Mayer said the “whodunnit” aspect of the play is the story’s driving force, there’s a lot of fun to be had in looking at its different elements.

He said he wanted the “Robin Hood” show within the show to feel real, and so he and the creative team at the center researched how musicals were produced in the late ’50s and early ’60s.

“The goal for us was to create to real shows in one — ‘Cur-tains’ and ‘Robin Hood,’” Mayer said. “We want people to get just as lost in the plot of ‘Robin Hood’ as anything else.”

Close to home“Curtains” is a sort of homecoming for one of the stars, Erica

Sweany, who plays Niki Harris, the understudy of the dead ac-tress.

Sweany is an Arvada native, who went to Pomona High School, where Mayer was her drama teacher. She currently lives and works in New York City, but she’s back home for the summer while staring in “Curtains.”

“My agent got me any audition, and I was so excited when I heard that Gavin was the director of the show,” she said. “It’s great to be back here in Colorado — it’s really easy and comfort-able place to be.”

She also said she remembers seeing productions at the Ar-vada Center and going to summer theater camps that the center hosted as well, so it’s been a thrill to be back.

Sweany said she has had a great time getting lost in all the dif-ferent genres in the play, and while it might not be a particularly well-known work, it’s a kind of hidden gem.

“The play really works well here — it’s charming, funny and has a lot of heart,” she said.

“There is a lot to see, and a lot to fall in love with.”

Frank Cio� (Jim Poulos) searches for a murderer amongst a Broadway cast that includes understudy Niki Harris (Erica Sweany) in the Arvada Center’s production of “Curtains.” Top, Georgia Hendricks (Lauren Shealy) and Aaron Fox (Je� rey Roark) are two of the suspects in a Broadway murder mystery in “Curtains” at the Arvada Center.

What does Rizzi hope to accomplish for the magazine’s next 100 issues?

“Surviving is a good thing,” he said. “We want to continue to come up with some new ideas and new ways of covering the Colorado golf scene. We always want to be the ultimate resource for golf in Colorado.”

Thornton sinks upgrades into ThorncreekPopular golf course tallies numerous renovationsBy Daniel [email protected]

THORNTON - If you have ever driven by Interstate 25 and 136th Avenue and wondered if you were missing out by not stopping by and playing a round at Thorncreek Golf Course the answer is a firm yes.

The course that always looks a lush green off the highway is even better on foot, and Thorncreek offers an out-of-town golf experience just 15 minutes north of downtown Denver.

“You will definitely have a golf expe-rience and not just play a round of golf when you are at Thorncreek,” Thorncreek staff member Peyton Lindbloom said.

The 18-hole course that is also Thorn-ton’s only municipal course is more than 7,200 yards from the championship tees, but it can also play 6,500 yards from the white tees, making the course welcome to players of all abilities.

The course, designed by Finger Dye Spahn, Inc., just celebrated its 20th anni-versary. It has been just over a year since the City of Thornton took over day-to-day operations of the course from previously management.

Thornton spent over a quarter-of-a-million dollars in renovations and took an already popular course to the next level in terms of overall course conditions.

Landscaping additions, new fences, new turf seed and overall appearances of the fairways, cart paths and even club-house were just some of the makeovers the course received.

“The company that has been running

the course has let a few things go, and the course’s overall condition slipped a little bit.

But right now the course is beautiful,” Thornton resident and Thorncreek regu-lar Phil Wells said.

Thorncreek has a well above course rating of 73.6 and was given a 4-star rat-

ing by Golf Digest as “Best Places to Play.”“The course can definitely be challeng-

ing, but it can also be a long or as short as you want to play it. It is a course everyone can play,” Lindbloom said.

And then comes the matter of price — which is actually no issue at Thorncreek.

One thing the city has done is to re-

main competitive with the cost of playing nine of 18 holes. There are courses twice the price and three times the drive that don’t live up to the experience you will get at Thorncreek.

And Thorncreek puts together tour-naments for business owners who run a charity or are involved in a fundraiser.

Hole No. 10 is a par 3 that is not only a challenge but is also one of Thorncreek’s most scenic spots

Golfers gear up for Solheim CupMatch-play format has unique twistBy Jim [email protected]

Some captains and potential players of the European Solheim Cup team recently visited and played the Colorado Golf Club during a week off in the LPGA and Euro-pean Tour schedules.

The Solheim Cup, the women’s version of the Ryder Cup, pits 12 golfers from the United States against 12 European golfers and is scheduled Aug. 13-18 at the Colora-do Golf Club in Parker. Coaches and play-ers met with the media July 2, and almost everyone delivered the same message that anything can happen in match play.

“In match play, anything can happen,” said assistant captain Annika Sorenstam. “Some players feel they are representing their country and continent. They just soak it up and find another gear they might not find in other tournaments.

“It’s a putt here, it’s a shot here, it’s a match turned around.”

The Solheim Cup has a unique match play format. Players will play fourball, in which each player plays their own ball throughout the round. Each hole is won by the two-women team whose player had the lowest score on the hole and the team is awarded a point. If the teams tie, a half-point is given to each team. Foursomes pit two-player teams and the golfers hit alter-nate shots. A point is awarded each hole to the team with the lowest score.

In the 12 singles matches, all 24 players square off and golfers gain points or halves for each hole. There will be 28 matches played over the three days of the tourna-ment.

Four foursomes matches will be held Aug. 16 starting at 7:30 a.m., with four fourball matches set to begin at 1 p.m. On Aug. 17, foursome and fourball matches are scheduled for the same times.

The 12 singles matches begin at 12:30 p.m. Aug. 18.

There are 28 points up for grabs in the team standings over the three days, with a point awarded for each match won and half point garnered for each match that is tied.

Siemers has interim label lifted, tabbed officially as head coachAlso, former Orediggers compete nationally; soccer names assistantBy Daniel [email protected]

GOLDEN - Chris Siemers has been pro-moted from interim head coach to head coach of the Colorado School of Mines cross country programs effective immedi-ately.

Interim Director of Athletics Marv Kay announced the hire that was only a matter of time after Mines cross country’s excep-tional season.

“Chris did a very fine job during his year as interim head coach,” Kay said. “His team’s national accomplishments speak volumes for his ability as a head coach. It is expected that the cross country teams will continue to excel under his coaching and leadership.”

Siemers guided Mines to its best sea-son in program history in 2012, steering both cross country teams back to the NCAA national championships for the first time since 2005 as the men claimed runner-up out of 32 teams and the women took eighth, their third top-10 finish of the last 10 sea-sons.

With a program-record five runners in the top-36 and earning All-American stat-ure, the Oredigger men continued their noteworthy run of high showings at the na-tional meet, finishing in the top-five for the fourth straight year and in the top-10 for an eighth consecutive season.

The men spent the entirety of the regular season ranked inside the nation’s top-four, including a four-week stint at No. 2., and finished no lower than third at any meet in

The 12 singles matches begin at 12:30 p.m. Aug. 18.

There are 28 points up for grabs in the team standings over the three days, with a point awarded for each match won and half point garnered for each match that is tied.

Europe needs 14 points to retain the cup, which it won in 2011 in Meath, Ire-land. The Americans would need 14.5 points to earn theirs seventh straight vic-tory on U.S. soil.

Many purists argue that match play is boring because when a team or individual gets a commanding lead, their play tends to be cautious and conservative. However, the format often leads to more aggressive play, especially since each hole is a sepa-rate competition.

“It’s (Colorado Golf Club) a great course for match play, especially the back nine from 14 on could be fun holes,” said Euro-pean captain Liselotte Neumann. “A lot of things could happen on those holes, there

are short par 4s and par 5s that you can get on in two shots.

“There are some great holes, especially when it comes to playing maybe the best ball matches. You have 16 when someone might want to go for it. In match play, you can have someone be more aggressive.”

Carlota Ciganda, a former Arizona State golfer from Pamplona, Spain, who turned pro two years ago, played on two Europe-an Junior Solheim Cup teams and enjoys match play.

“The whole format is fun, being a team member,” said Ciganda. “Match play is dif-ferent and this course suits it well because you can take some risks and play it as a match play course. It’s going to be fun.”

Neumann, Sorenstam and assistant captain Carin Koch will have the difficult task of matching partners for the fourball and foursomes matches.

“It’s about finding the right partners you are playing with,” said Sorenstam. “There are times you play with players and you try so hard but it always doesn’t fit.

“I can mention Suzann Pettersen. She’s a top player as an individual. She’s now No. 3 in the world. In the Solheim Cup she really rises to the top and she’s had some opportunities to make some winning putts. She was my partner a few times and together she elevated my game and I el-evated her game. That the challenge of the captains, to find the right combinations.”

Hensley skates to national levelFormer Green Mountain Ram hockey player piling up savesBy Daniel [email protected]

LAKEWOOD - One of Lakewood’s own is making it big and making even bigger saves.

Nicole Hensley, a 2012 graduate of Green Mountain High School, recently completed a stellar rookie campaign as a freshman goaltender playing NCAA Division I ice hockey at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo.

The 19-year-old gained national acclaim for her 90-save effort in a CHA Conference playoff game against Robert Morris Univer-sity on March 1, setting an NCAA Division I record for saves in the entire CHA Confer-ence playoff tournament in only one game.

On Friday, Hensley learned she will be recognized for her 90-save game on the Lindenwood website as one of the univer-sity’s “Top 10 Sports Moments of the Year.”

On Friday the Lindenwood website will note the accomplishment.

The award is only one of many awards

that Hensley has racked up in just a single season.

After earning both starts as a freshman in the season opening series against non-conference Western Collegiate Athletic Conference (WCHA) opponent Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio on Sept. 28-29.

Hensley went on to become the No. 1 goaltender for the Lady Lions and garnered numerous awards at the university, confer-ence and national level during the 2012-13 season.

Her first award of the season was the Lindenwood Female Student Athlete of the Week Award, followed by three CHA Con-ference Honor Roll awards, five CHA Con-ference Rookie of the Week awards, and the CHA Conference Rookie of the Month Award for February 2013.

Additional awards came at the end of the season. Hensley was a unanimous se-lection to the CHA Conference All-Rookie Team, was selected CHA All Conference Second Team, and was named CHA Confer-ence Rookie of the Year, finishing second in the CHA Conference with a .939 save per-centage in league games, just .001 behind the leader.

But Hensley is far from satisfied. She is already geared up for her sophomore cam-paign.

“At this point, my goals include making it back to the Warren Strelow Goaltend-ing Camp next year as well as making Au-gust Fest sometime in the future which is a camp that brings together players from the national team, as well as hopefuls for the future teams and possibly one day the Olympics,” Hensley said.

While becoming a member of Team USA is just a dream for many, it is a poten-tial reality for Hensley, who was invited by USA Hockey to attend the Warren Strelow National Team Goaltending Camp in Ann Arbor, Mich. last May. The camp featured the top 12 female goaltenders in the U.S. eligible for international play in select age groups.

While she continues to excel, she recalls the early days fondly.

“One of my other favorite memories would’ve been when my High Plains hock-

ey team, the Black Widows beat the Polar Bears in overtime to win the state champi-onship. It was really cool because my sister was on the team and those games are al-ways fun because you have friends on every team,” Hensley said.

Her sister, Brittany, will be a junior at Green Mountain High School this fall and is a letter winner for the Rams in soccer, bas-ketball and academically.

Nicole, an exercise science major, is looking forward to a strong sophomore athletic and academic year at Lindenwood, with the 2013-14 ice hockey season open-ing series at home on September 27-28 with a non-conference series against WCHA op-ponent Bemidji State from Bemidji, Minn.

Lindenwood is a member of the College Hockey America (CHA) Conference along with Penn State, Syracuse, Mercyhurst, Robert Morris and RIT.
