School �nds new homeSchool updates facility with state of art techBy Clarke [email protected]

In a little under a year, Denver Christian Schools has turned the former Qwest facil-ity in southwest Lakewood into a highly de-veloped and technologically state of the art campus for students in the metro area.

The school, 3898 S. Teller St. in the Acad-emy Park area, bought the 270,000-square-foot building and 20.7-acre property for $7.6 million in an effort to consolidate its three campuses into one pre K-12 location.

“We’re one of the longest sustained school systems in the front range.

Lanting, CEO of DCS. “Right now we have around 400 students but we’re expecting to increase by 20 to 30 percent by next fall.”

While classes started this fall at its new

location, DCS still has a lot of growing to do. The school is in the middle of a $13 million capital campaign to raise the funds needed to finish its auditorium for fine arts, two gyms and sports fields.

As the new kid on the block, the school and its staff has been doing outreach to the community to let them know they now have this option for the children by working with local churches and homeowners associa-tions and plans to begin a charitable giving program soon.

“Jesus said that we must love God by loving others and that’s the philosophy we bring to everything we do,” Lanting said. “We have these great facilities that we want to open and share with the community.”

The way the school uses its space is part of what makes it unique — Lanting said that by keeping the existing Qwest facil-ity building gave DCS design opportunities they wouldn’t have thought of otherwise.

Measure tackles rebate planInstitute breaks down details of refund proposalBy Amy [email protected]

State Senate President Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs, filed a bill that would mend some of the tax-refunding mechanisms outlined in the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights by refunding state tax money that is in excess of TABOR limits to the middle class.

The important piece of legislation warrants further explanation, as adjust-ments to TABOR can often be complex.

Donation funds college expansionCommunity College receives large donation from local nonpro�tBy Crystal [email protected]

Two of Arvada’s key busi-nesses came together to cel-ebrate learning and health edu-cation in Arvada through one sizable donation.

“We believe we’ve found an investment and opportu-nity to invest in our home city,” said Marla Williams, president of Arvada’s Community First Foundation. “To invest in our conviction, that mental health and wellness is best addressed

whole person, mind and body together ... that great oppor-tunity is to invest in Red Rocks Community College.”

On Jan. 21, Community First Foundation, a local philan-thropic nonprofit, donated $1 million to Red Rocks Commu-nity College, to help fund the expansion of a 55,000 square foot Arvada Health Professions and Science building located at 5420 Miller St.

“This takes us so much fur-ther,” said Red Rocks President, Michele Haney. “We are about 82 percent there ... so this helps us come and see it be a reality.”

The $22.5 million project will triple the size of the cam-pus while adding key programs such as, Nurse’s Aide, RN Re-fresher, Health Professional,

Medical Assisting, Office Man-agement, Phlebotomy Techni-cian and Physician Assistant to the college’s growing selection of health courses.

“It literally started out in a

mortuary on Wadsworth Bou-

levard,” said Arvada Mayor

“I chose UCCS for the combination of academics and student life. The Engineering program is one the best in the country and you can’t beat the location with views of Pikes Peak from every building. The University reaches out to every student by holding fun events for all different interests, so it’s easy to make friends. As soon as I stepped onto campus I was completely immersed in the community and felt right at home.”

LAKEWOOD CITY COUNCIL ON THE RECORD

During the Jan. 26 regular meeting city council passed several amendments to the city’s zoning ordinance.

Zoning ordinance amendmentsPaul Rice, development assistance

manager with the city, spoke about the amendments, stating they serve a few purposes — to clarify and modify already existing standards, and in a few cases to add new standards.

“This is a document that will evolve

over time so you can expect things like this to occur regularly,” he said.

The most substantive change has to do with zoning lots. The addition will make zone lots a new designation in the code and defi nes the approval process for the zoning. In the new designation the lot functions as a single site, and it must be concurrent with the site plan. Zone lots to not apply to R-1 and R-2 zones.

The other notable change is a change to the small animal regulations. The special use permit that was required for animals

has been changed to a limited use designa-tion. There is no change to the supplemen-tal standard and the permit requirement still remains.

There was also a change to the stan-dards for apiaries — they must now be set back 25 feet from public walkways.

Most of the other changes were small, from clarifi cation of plaza specifi cations to new defi nitions of contractors, household and horticulture.

The amendments passed 10 to 1, with Ward 4 councilman David Wiechman as

the no-vote. He said he voted no because he wanted a neighbor notifi cation process for people who bring small animals to their lot.

“I really appreciate the way this docu-ment has evolved and I think these are very good and reasonable changes,” said Ward 2 councilman Scott Koop.

The next council meeting is a regular meeting at 7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 9, at Civic Center South, 480 S. Allison Parkway.

signed just y youou!!

It’s hard to deny that we are facing a seri-ous global challenge in energy, water, pollu-tion, health and climate. We ignore these challenges at our peril. The good news is that God has brought us solutions to the prob-lems which confront us. These solutions can only be imple-mented by us as individuals in our own lives and in our own homes, and that’s where Eco-Brokers can serve you. Since founding Golden Real Estate in 2008, I have been the only EcoBroker at our firm, alt-hough I haven’t promoted that fact, preferring simply to write about related issues on occasion. So when John Beldock, founder and CEO of EcoBroker International, asked to have lunch with me and I suggested he use the occasion to speak about the EcoBroker designation to our agents, you can imagine my delight that all nine of our broker associ-ates chose to sign up for the training and become EcoBrokers themselves. This Monday I joined them as they took part 1 of the 3-day training. Parts 2 and 3 are next Monday and the following Monday.

I’m glad I joined them not only to refresh my own training on “green” topics but to be part of the lively conversation that only hap-

pens in a classroom. (You can take the training online, as I did in 2008, but John Beldock offered to teach the course personally to our agents, plus a title rep and a real estate attorney whom we use.) This week’s day-long class was on environmental issues. John taught us about radon, lead, water quality, mold, asbestos, indoor air quality, historical contamination, green building and health. You’d think a 6-hour class might drag

on, but it was so interesting and interactive that we took only one break, and before we knew it, the day was over! One of the big takeaways from this week’s class is that no one can learn it all, because the fields of energy and sustaina-bility are always evolving. What we learn above all is to be sensitive to these issues, not pretend to know all the answers, but to build a network of specialists who can help our clients achieve “LOHAS” — a Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability. Although….

Board urges plane locator technology Cost is barrier to idea that would prevent lost cra� By Joan Lowy Associated Press

After incidents in which airliners van-ished, U.S. accident investigators recom-mended Jan. 22 that all passenger planes making long fl ights over water carry im-proved technology that will allow them to be found more readily in the event of a crash.

Responding in part to the disappearance

of Malaysia Airlines fl ight 370 carrying 239 passengers and crew last March, the Na-tional Transportation Safety Board said that could be accomplished with transmitters that broadcast a plane’s location minute by minute via satellite, or that send a location message just before a crash.

Another recommendation was for fl oat-ing emergency transmitters that can iden-tify where to search for wreckage on the bottom of the ocean.

The board also asked the government to require that planes be equipped with cock-pit video recorders and that their record-ings, as well as fl ight data and video record-

ers, be designed so fl ight crews can’t tamper with them.

But cost may be a big barrier to the rec-ommendations. Missing planes are rare, and none of the recent ocean crashes in which planes were hard to fi nd involved U.S. airliners. The Federal Aviation Admin-istration often has a hard time justifying new regulations unless it can show that the value of saved lives outweighs the cost to the industry.

The NTSB said the technology is avail-able to accomplish its recommendations. Many airliners already have fl ight-tracking devices. The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777,

which is still missing, was equipped with a digital data-link system that can be confi g-ured to automatically report aircraft posi-tion periodically to a ground station via sat-ellite. But the airline wasn’t paying for that service when the plane disappeared.

Air France Flight 447, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on June 1, 2009, killing 228 passengers and crew, also had such a system, and it was in use. However, it was confi gured to report the plane’s position once every 10 minutes. Given the plane’s speed and altitude, this resulted in a search area of 40 nautical miles from its last report-ed position.

Landscape of the regionPhoto exhibit featured in Corner GalleryBy Clarke [email protected]

A lot of beauty to be found in Colorado and a good photogra-pher never wants for a fascinating subject.

Thomas M. Goettel has been a photographer for the last 40 years, and more than half of that time has been spent in Colorado cap-turing images of nature’s wonder.

The Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway, will host a collection of Goettel’s landscape photos in the Corner Gallery from

Feb. 3 through March 1. An artist reception will be 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 5.

The gallery is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday and during cultural center events.

“What I really appreciate about Tom’s work is that it’s a large scale approach, and there is so much depth in his photos,” said Lorene Joos, art programming curator with the city. “He has a really great eye and is attracted to the richness of his subjects.”

Goettel fell in love with pho-tography young and started as a professional in New York before coming out to Colorado.

“Since moving here I’ve been traveling the back roads of Colo-rado, Wyoming and Utah to find

subjects,” he said. “I like to pick an area to go to, research it and go visit it several times to figure out just what kind of shot I want.”

Goettel said the theme of his work is to give the viewer the feel-ing of actually being in the land-scape he captures. He still uses a film camera and likes creating large photographs, up to 40 inches by 60 inches.

Multiple arrests made in drug ring bustSWAT teams raided 17 locations across metro areaSta� Report

After a year-long investigation by numerous law en-

forcement agencies under Operation Silence, 32 individu-als were arrested in a large methamphetamine and cocaine trafficking ring operating throughout the metro area.

The take-down targeted 17 locations in Northglenn, Thornton, Commerce City, Arvada, Denver and unincorpo-rated Adams and Arapahoe counties. SWAT teams from a number of local law enforcement agencies were involved in

the operation which began at about 6 a.m. on Jan. 22.Seven pounds of methamphetamine, three pounds of

cocaine, two pounds of heroin and eight firearms were re-covered.

“This was a very dangerous group of individuals, and I am very thankful that no one was injured in the success-ful take-down of this group,” said District Attorney Dave Young.

Sgt. Jim Gerhardt of the North Metro Task Force said the drug ring’s activity was centered in Adams County and the north metro area but impacted communities throughout the Denver metro area.

“We’re very pleased to have removed these dangerous people from the community,” Gerhardt said. “The Denver metro area is safer today because of these arrests and we are very happy about that.”

DEA Special Agent in Charge in Charge, Barbra Roach said that she was very pleased with the professionally ex-ecuted operations.

“This outstanding effort by our law enforcement part-ners has cutoff numerous avenues of illicit income fueling foreign-based drug cartels,” she said

The investigation is continuing and further arrests will be made.

Bourbon bar majors in mixology By Clarke Reader [email protected]

Tap houses and beer bars have become a mainstay of the Colorado bar scene, but Kim Reuter and Patrick Morelli want to bring something new to Lakewood.

The two are opening CDeMarra at 11100 W. Alameda Ave. in two weeks so the city’s growing population will have a bourbon bar that specializes in mixology and con-temporary Americana dining.

“The neighborhood here is transition-ing and we want to bring young profes-sionals and families here with our food and drinks,” Morelli said. “There’s the light rail and so much development here and we saw the need for this kind of place.”

CDeMarra is Reuter’s sixteenth bar in Colorado and he developed the idea with his late wife, Carol. Patrick’s wife Kristina worked for Reuter at another of his bars and she introduced him to Patrick.

Both families live in Lakewood and be-gan to look for a place to bring a bourbon bar to city, but Carol was taken very ill sud-denly and died shortly after. Kim held on to

the idea they discussed together and when an old transmission shop went up for sale the two families decided to work together to bring their vision to life.

The name DeMarra was chosen for the restaurant because it was Carol’s maiden name.

“We’re going to be bringing old world drinks and giving them a custom touch,” Reuter said. “We’re will be doing whiskey and bourbon tastings and wine tastings in the spring.”

Both Reuter and Morelli are looking to tap into the Highlands restaurant aesthetic and will have room for DJs and dancing. There will also be an oyster bar.

CDeMarra is still looking for chefs and staff to help bring the restaurant to life and Reuter is bringing in mixology experts to teach the bartenders.

“We’re going to be the only real mixol-ogy bar in the state,” he said. “We’re going to ferment our whiskey and feature custom, hand-muddled drinks.”

“Lakewood is dying for a place like this,” Kristina added.

These � owers are forever By Clarke Reader [email protected]

Everyone appreciates fl owers, and with Valentine’s Day on the horizon they make a great gift with one exception — they fade away.

That’s not the case with the fl owers avail-able in featured in Golden’s Spirits in the Wind Gallery.

From Feb. 1 through 14 the gallery, 1211 Washington Ave., is hosting a show of hand-blown glass fl owers and vases from artist Paul Lockwood.

“This is something brand new for us,” said gallery owner Pam Eggemeyer. “Paul makes these lovely fl owers in different col-ors and designs, and they’re all attached to a copper stem so they can be manipulated in many ways.”

Eggemeyer has shown some of Lock-

wood’s other glass creations at the gallery, and wanted to do something special for her February show.

“Glass is very personal to me, being a medium that requires talent, time, and per-sistence to accomplish works that relate natural elegance,” Lockwood said in his art-ist statement.

According to information provided by Eggemeyer, Lockwood uses a mix of sand, soda and lime that he heats to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit to make his glass. Each time he removes the glass from the furnace, his is able to add a new layer of color and texture. When he is ready, the work goes into an an-nealing oven to fi nish the fl ower.

Lockwood fi rst became interested in glass blowing while at Hastings College in Nebraska where he was studying physics.

Eggemeyer said the fl owers beautifully refl ect light and will make a beautiful pre-sentation piece for any room.

OPINIONY O U R S & O U R S

State of Union should be unityIn 1961, John F. Kennedy told the Cana-

dian Parliament that “What unites us is far greater than what divides us.” Of late, other Americans have borrowed that phrase frequently to remind Americans of our common bonds among ourselves, in spite of our internal disagreements.

But lately, I’m not so sure that what divides us isn’t becoming an impassable chasm of ideology and worldview. Just think about the things that have happened in the last week.

The President delivered his State of the Union address to a joint session of a Congress that had 83 fewer friendly faces than just two months ago. Did the Presi-dent recognize the new reality and, maybe, show a little humility and try to reach across the aisle to find common ground? Not so much. In fact, he issued four veto threats in this one speech, a new record for States of the Union speeches, according to PolitiFact. Last time I checked, telling a co-equal branch of government that it was your intent to negate their work was hardly a way to emphasize “that which unites us.”

As an aside, the Constitution requires that, from time to time, the President shall report to Congress on the state of the union. Can we please, for the love of God, forego these long-winded speeches? Send Congress a sticky note. Either that, or hold a 60-minute parliamentary debate, like they do in England — that might be great fun!

For their part, the Republicans showed their own pique by inviting the Prime Minister of Israel to address a joint session of Congress in the near future. This was, of course, a breach of protocol, as the Execu-tive is, customarily, consulted whenever a foreign leader is in the country.

So, in what was already a divisive week, which follows on the year that brought you Trayvon Martin and Ferguson, Missouri, you enter in the spectacle of a handful of famous people criticizing “American Snip-er.” Not the movie — the man, Chris Kyle. Michael Moore called snipers cowards, and Bill Maher called him a “psychopath pa-triot.” I thought the one thing that united us above all else was our support and respect for the men and women of the U.S. military. Maybe not so much any more.

But, I thought, maybe this is just an aberration. So I took to my cultural ba-rometer— Facebook — to see how this was playing out. And, very quickly, I found one of my online contacts making fun of the

outrage over Moore et al., and so, as is my wont, I engaged.

And banged my head. Repeatedly.It would seem that respect for the war-

rior ethos is not universal. In fact, at one point, one of my online foils flatly refused — three times — to simply answer whether Moore and Maher were talking about the movie or talking about the man. To me, it’s obvious; to some, it’s a “complicated ques-tion.” And, for some reason, this compli-cated question ended with the implication that Chris Kyle was a racist.

I see a tree and think “green”; he sees a tree and thinks “gouda.”

Of course, from his perspective, he sees a tree and thinks “green” and I see a tree and think “comet.”

There was once a common set of be-liefs that defined America, what Samuel Huntington and others call “The American Creed.” And it is this creed that has held the nation together through crises, from the World Wars to the Great Depression to the tumultuous ‘60s and Watergate — every time, after a crisis, the country knits itself back together again. It re-united.

But what happens to that creed if, like the Tower of Babel, all the people are reduced to talking in different languages? What can reunite us, if a tree is a comet is a hunk of gouda?

I fear that the answer is fast becoming “nothing.”

What shows are you going to watch?We asked a few area folks what TV show were they planning on enjoying this year?

Je�co LWV opposes GVCA charter school application

Charter Schools have become a signifi-cant component of the Jefferson County School System. Each year groups submit applications to the Board of Education to open more charter schools.

The Golden View Classical Academy (GVCA) Charter Application appears at first glance to be a well-thought-out charter application calling for rigorous academic standards. Due, however, to its strong ties to Hillsdale College (Hillsdale, Michigan) and the Barney School Initiative, as well as its stated intent to partner with Colorado Christian University, it would seem that this Charter violates both Colorado State Statute 22-30.5-104, which authorizes charter schools, and Jefferson County Schools Policy IMDCA, which pertains to religion in public schools.

A careful review of all relevant charter application materials and the contract the applicants have signed with Hillsdale Col-lege reveals the following minimum com-mitments between Hillsdale and GVCA:

“GVCA Corporation shall look to Hills-dale College as the first and primary source of models, resources, and guidance on the development and operation of Charter School’s academic program including, without limitation, the academic mission, academic policies, curriculum, and teacher practices, consistent with the terms and conditions of Charter School’s approved charter application.

Potential candidates for Principal of GVCA will be identified and screened by Hillsdale.

Hillsdale College shall provide teacher education seminars of a duration, scope, and location to be determined by Hillsdale College…

Hillsdale will provide guidance on books to read as part of the curriculum and to be contained in the school library.

Hillsdale will provide budgetary over-sight.

Hillsdale College’s mission includes the following: “ [to be] a trustee of modern man’s intellectual and spiritual inheritance

OBITUARIES

Natalie Claire Schmitz (Nats) passed away in Bill-ings, Montana on the 23rd of January 2015 at the age of 88.

Natalie was born in Kansas City, Kansas in 1927 to Walter and Mettje Herndon. The youngest of three girls, she spent her first 25 years in Kan-sas where she attended Kansas State University and met Bob, her future husband and life-long companion. They married in 1947.

In 1955, now with a fam-ily of five, they moved to

Colorado where after a decade dedicated to moth-erhood, being a house wife (and helping her husband build a sailboat in their living room), she began work with the Coors Credit Union from where she retired in 1981.

She spent the next 29 years, sailing, backpack-ing, traveling the world, playing golf, tennis, and spending time with her grandchildren.

Often said to never have an enemy nor have met a stranger, she spent a joy-ous life with her husband

who was never far away in mind or body.

She was preceded in death by her daughter Katie and her husband. Natalie is survived by her two sons, Robert and Kirby, five grandchildren, and four great-grandchil-dren.

A small family service will be held in Denver, Colorado in the spring of 2015. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Rocky Mountain Hospice, 2110 Overland Ave. Suite 111, Billings, MT. 59102

HAFLINGDarrel Alden Hafling

Feb. 21, 1923 – Jan. 18, 2015

Words along the journeyTo me, great song lyrics and news writ-

ing have a lot in common.Excellent news coverage makes people

think, gain resolve and help others, as surely as the anthem “Stand By Me” and the rhetorical questions of “Blowin’ in The Wind” inspire people endlessly.

Maybe that is why, at age 15, I intuitively chose two particular lithographs my father bought me on a visit to Washington, D.C.

I was a rather serious jazz guitar student at the time and had no interest in the mu-sic-oriented images suggested by others in the gallery. Instead, I selected one piece depicting several editions of The Hartford Courant suspended in air, shackled in thick black lines the shape of a newsrack — of which I have drawn various meanings through the years — and the other, an im-age involving the word “words” imprinted

over and over, a la Warhol, inside the out-line of a person reaching skyward.

After college, I became a professional musician and gradually transformed from a part-time music advocacy writer to an all-in general news reporter and then an editor. Since then, I have enjoyed the important and rewarding work, and I like to tout the First Amendment rights related

to freedom of the press. Everyone who has attended the Metro North Chamber of Commerce leadership course media day knows my patriotic pitch.

But this past year, I challenged myself in a different way and finished an MBA at Re-gis University, where I very much appreci-ated the “service to others” setting. So now I am off to explore new directions.

Today I want to simply express a big thank you to all the inspiring people in the community and newsroom I have encoun-tered through the years — terrific people, great communities, too many names to mention. Thank you so much.

The very talented staffer Glenn Wallace is up next in the editor’s hot seat, so give him support, great news tips and flat out root for the whole team. Please watch for innovative coverage and advertising op-

tions in print and online, and cheer for our oldest paper, The Golden Transcript, which is headed for its 150th birthday in Decem-ber of next year.

I could tell a zillion stories about news gathering, but in a lot of ways I will miss the simple workaday world moments as much as the headline events. I remember a school board discussion years ago about whether to let a fledgling charter school use a district gym for basketball at no cost. Matt Duran of Westminster made short work of a potentially laborious talk by say-ing something like — let them use it, that’s what we do, we help each other.

Like a song — every now and then, clear, crisp phrases with mostly one syl-lable words illuminate what we all strive to do on our journeys.

To be of help, to make a difference.

Let’s talk about my father and yoursAren’t we all thinking about our fathers

or at least reminded of them occasionally?Recently on Facebook, I shared an ar-

ticle about my father, who was shot down in a B-24 during WWII by the Japanese in the South Pacific. The Denver Post article dated l992 covered my father receiving the Silver Star for bravery when he was 77.

He was missing in action for two years while he was in Japanese prison camp. He held his cool, ready to die, in front of a firing squad who wanted him to reveal the location of his comrades. The Japanese prison camp officers didn’t kill him that day but almost starved him to death. I was born after the war.

In the post I asked writers and friends to share advice their fathers gave them because I am researching fathers for a pos-sible novel. I am trying to gain perspective on fathers in the bigger world than just my own family, my own father. My dad had many great qualities such as generosity, a sense of humor, a brilliant mind, and love

of friends, family and fishing.The challenge I faced growing up

with him was his alcoholism. He quit my freshman year in college at the University of California, Davis. But possibly if he’d been sober starting when I was younger he would have paid more attention to my college studies and choices of majors — Freshman year, I switched from majoring International Relations to Fine Arts.

If he’d been paying attention, he might have said, “Have you thought this change of majors from international relations to

art, Mary? What kind of life do artists lead? And you are good with people and like to travel, and enjoy meeting people from other cultures. You might reconsider stay-ing with international relations.” He didn’t say that, because when I made that deci-sion he was still drinking. Finally he joined AA, a wonderful supportive program and stopped consuming alcohol. He became a sponsor and helped others to stop drink-ing. I deeply respect him for many things, and especially for that.

I believe it’s important for fathers to focus on their children’s direction in life all the way from elementary school through college. Why not make gentle suggestions to your son or daughter, offer guidance, based on your own experience? Many college students don’t know themselves as well as their parents do. College students search for their own identities as they are plunged into a new culture and peer group away from home.

How does your son’s or daughter’s

choices of activities, and later majors in college, fit his or her strengths, passions and character? My father set many great examples for me of heroism, love of life, success in business, and concern for oth-ers. I miss him dearly.

I invite you to participate in this conver-sation. Did your father give you direction in life? Pay attention to what you were good at and encourage and support those activities? If you have children how do you pay attention to their lives, give guidance and set an example? I would love to hear your remarks at [email protected].

LETTER TO THE EDITORJe�co LWV opposes GVCA charter school application

Charter Schools have become a signifi-cant component of the Jefferson County School System. Each year groups submit applications to the Board of Education to open more charter schools.

The Golden View Classical Academy (GVCA) Charter Application appears at first glance to be a well-thought-out charter application calling for rigorous academic standards. Due, however, to its strong ties to Hillsdale College (Hillsdale, Michigan) and the Barney School Initiative, as well as its stated intent to partner with Colorado Christian University, it would seem that this Charter violates both Colorado State Statute 22-30.5-104, which authorizes charter schools, and Jefferson County Schools Policy IMDCA, which pertains to religion in public schools.

A careful review of all relevant charter application materials and the contract the applicants have signed with Hillsdale Col-lege reveals the following minimum com-mitments between Hillsdale and GVCA:

“GVCA Corporation shall look to Hills-dale College as the first and primary source of models, resources, and guidance on the development and operation of Charter School’s academic program including, without limitation, the academic mission, academic policies, curriculum, and teacher practices, consistent with the terms and conditions of Charter School’s approved charter application.

Potential candidates for Principal of GVCA will be identified and screened by Hillsdale.

Hillsdale College shall provide teacher education seminars of a duration, scope, and location to be determined by Hillsdale College…

Hillsdale will provide guidance on books to read as part of the curriculum and to be contained in the school library.

Hillsdale will provide budgetary over-sight.

Hillsdale College’s mission includes the following: “ [to be] a trustee of modern man’s intellectual and spiritual inheritance

from the Judeo-Christian faith.”According to the GVCA application,

they intend to engage Colorado Christian University to provide music education for its students.

The state statute authorizing charter schools states: “A charter school shall be a public, nonsectarian, nonreligious, non-home-based school which operates within a public school district.”

The Jefferson County Schools Policy IMDCA (section dealing with religion in public schools) asks the following ques-tions:

“Does the activity involve an excessive entanglement between the school and a religion, religious group or organization?

Does either the school or religious activ-ity require the consent or approval of the other?”

The policy also states: “…if the activity involves excessive entanglement, then the activity is unconstitutional and shall not be permitted in the Jefferson County Schools.” Clearly, sufficient evidence exists to sup-port the fact that GVCA’s proposed ties to Hillsdale College and Colorado Christian University are sufficiently “entangled” with these religious groups as to constitute violations of both the state statute and Jef-ferson County School’s own policy.

In addition to these considerations, GVCA’s charter application states that they will operate a “classical liberal arts and sciences, Core Knowledge K-12 school”. Jefferson County Schools opened the Ad-denbrooke Classical Academy in the 2013-14 school year. Although Addenbrooke was expected to open with 100 students, current enrollment is only 56 students. An-other “classical” academy would seem to be repetitive and unnecessary at this time.

In view of all these facts, the League of Women Voters of Jefferson County requests that the Jefferson County Board of Educa-tion reverse its decision to approve the GVCA charter application as submitted.

This will be the first time some of the featured films will be screened in Denver. Producer Nancy Spielberg will speak at the screen-ing of her much-buzzed-about film “Above and Beyond” on Feb. 5. Sister of famous director Steven Spielberg, Nancy is a docu-mentarian who produced this film about the creation of the Israeli Air Force.

‘Harvey’ brings wit, understanding to Arvada Center

By Clarke [email protected]

Elwood P. Dowd is the nicest person anyone in his small town is likely to meet. He greets everyone

like a long lost friend, listens to their problems and of-fers assistance to those in need.

He also appears to constantly be talking to someone that no one but him can see — a six-foot rabbit named

Harvey.That’s the premise between Denver native Mary Chase’s

Pulitzer Prize winning play “Harvey,” which brings its unique blend of humor and heart to the Arvada Center.

The center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., is hosting “Harvey” through Feb. 22. Show times are Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday at 1 p.m. and Saturday through Sunday at 2 p.m.

“Our director’s (Gavin Mayer) approach is that El-wood is the sane one,” said Missy Moore, who plays El-wood’s niece Myrtle Mae Simmons. “That vision helps all of us to make the journey real.”

Torsten Hillhouse plays Elwood and credits El-wood’s broad and open perspective as the main rea-son he can see Harvey.

“The play was written during wartime, and I think people needed that positive energy,” Hill-house said. “This show is about connection and lets us really see, because Elwood sees so much.”

Seeing Harvey is a bit of a family affair and El-wood’s sister Veta (Kate Gleason) has a connection to the rabbit — one she wants no part of, particu-larly when she is trying to find a suitable husband for her daughter.

“She doesn’t want Harvey in her home and let him know on no uncertain terms about that,” Glea-son said. “Everyone in the show has an agenda but Elwood.”

Moore and Gleason said the relationship be-tween Myrtle Mae and Veta is a partnership — they’re both working toward the same goal of find-ing a husband for Myrtle Mae. It just so happens Veta is a little more graceful about it.

However, things get so bad for Veta she tries to have Elwood committed, which brings the family into the care of pompous but oblivious Dr. Lyman Sanderson (Graham Ward).

“He is so anxious to be important and is com-pletely moronic, but with a high education,” Ward said. “In any comedy, it takes a little obliviousness.”

Working with an imaginary character would be challenging for anyone, but the cast uses Harvey’s

presence to create a truly delightful comedy.“There are situations when the rest of us don’t know

Harvey is in the room and it’s really funny watching Elwood include someone we don’t know is there,” Ward said.

For Hillhouse, Harvey is a constant pres-ence that he gets to test his jokes out on and a scene partner. Moore sees him as the represen-tation of a choice everyone has to make in their lives about how they want to see the world.

“People may think of this as an old chestnut, but it’s really modern without commenting on it,” Glea-son said. “It’s about relationships and has some really beautiful moments.”

In the end, “Harvey” asks why more people can’t be as sane as Elwood.

“You can see the shift in the room — so many people enter in a bad mood but Elwood makes everyone better,” Moore said. “There are so many lovely moments of accep-tance of who people are in the play.”

SPORTSPulling out the crosstown winPomona boys beat Ralston Valley on the courtBy Scott Stocker

There’s little doubt that the final minute of any athletic event will turn out exciting for the victor and disappointment for the loser. In last Friday’s boys basketball game between Pomona and visiting Ralston Val-ley, excitement was in favor of the visitors, disappointment for the home team.

The game would end with Ralston Valley, coached by Mitch Conrad, coming through for a 69-63 victory over Pomona, coached by Jon Baskin. And with the win the Mus-tangs improved to 4-11 on the season with its upset victory while the Panthers fell to 6-9.

Helping with the excitement in the wan-ing minutes was Ralston Valley’s Jordan Harnum. His basket with 1-minute, :33 sec-onds enabled the Mustangs to grab a 64-62 lead.

Pomona’s 63rd point was scored by the Panther’s Javis Larson.

“I felt like we were able to make the big shots when it counted,” said Harnum, who scored 14 points. “They came close. We got our early free throws and putting the ball in the hoop felt good. I think we were certainly going strong in the beginning, but they were able to come back on our advantage. I just need to relax, but to definitely play hard.”

Ralston Valley would get the ball with approximately 40-seconds left via their pos-session on a jump ball call. With 21 seconds left in the game, the Mustang’s Bobby Roeh-rig would connect on a pair of free throws for a 67-63 lead. Pomona’s next attempt from the field failed and the night’s scoring would come to an end as the Mustang’s Jake Jelinek would score the game’s final points with one second left.

Ralston Valley had been able to build a few, eight point leads through the first half and early into the third quarter. The Mus-tangs led 38-30 at the intermission and held a 40-32 lead with 6:30 left in the third quar-ter. But it would be their last substantial lead.

Seven consecutive points constructed by Pomona’s Dillon Pace, Javis Larson and Darius Montgomery closed Ralston Valley’s lead to 40-39 with 4:28 to go in the third quarter. The Panthers would go on to mus-ter a 48-48 tie on a basket by Montgomery with 18 seconds to go in the quarter, but would trail, 49-48, going into the fourth quarter. From there, it would be back-and-forth.

Pomona would take its first lead of the game, 50-49, on a basket by Ryan Ward, who had seven points in the game, with 7:19 re-maining on the clock. The Panthers would eventually have their last lead, 62-61, on a pair of free throws by Larson with 2:03 left in the game.

Andrew Capley would finish with 13 points, second best for Ralston Valley.

“I felt all the way we were going to pull it out, but they certainly came back strong

against us,” Capley said. “A win-is-a-win and we’ll take it. I just needed to go straight to the basket, rebound and get my shots off. We just have to play harder in the fourth quarter and find the ways to keep us all together. It was a good win, one we really needed.”

For Conrad, it was a much needed win.“You have to give them credit as they

came back strong against us,” Conrad said. “We were able to up our defense and it was certainly our key when it counted. We just need to settle down more. I just hope that this game helps us build our confidence.”

Confidence on their side of the ball is also the hopes of Pomona’s Pace, Mont-gomery and Baskin.

“We were not making the plays in the first quarter, but the second was different,” said Pace, who was the game’s leading scor-er with 20 points. “I felt pretty good making some important shots and we really played as a team tonight. They were able to pull it out when it counted. We have to play them again soon, so it’s going to be another chal-lenge.”

“This is a hard loss for us and they just played better than us when it counted,” said Montgomery, who scored 11 points. “We have to work better on our three-point shots. That 6-foot, 10 guy, (Capley) had a big game against us underneath and my hats off to him.”

It was a tough loss for Baskin.“We still have a lot to work on and this

team is a work in progress,” Baskin said. “We had our opportunities in the fourth quarter, but things just didn’t go our way. We made it a battle back-and-forth and were able to get a lead, but we just couldn’t get through. We had that big charge after the first half and got a lead, but, it just wasn’t enough tonight.”

Pomona and Ralston Valley will face each other again, Feb. 18 at Ralston Valley. Pomona will play at Chatfield, Jan. 28, while Ralston Valley will be at Dakota Ridge the same night.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF JAN. 26, 2015

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Mixed signals could create problems. Make sure your views are presented clearly, and insist others do the same. Don’t let an unanswered question go by without a full explanation.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Financial pressures ease, allowing for more budget flexibility. But as the money-wise Bovine will appreciate, thrift still beats out splurging. Expect news from someone special.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Getting things done is what you do so well. But be careful not to overtax your energy reserves. Take time out to relax or to do some-thing different to help keep them at optimum levels.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) This is a good time to satisfy the Moon Child’s growing sense of wanderlust. Choose a really special place to go to, with a very spe-cial person to share it all with you.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You love being in the spotlight. But be careful it doesn’t blind you to the truth behind a seemingly wonderful opportunity. Look closer and you might be sadly surprised at what you find.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Isn’t it time to take a break from your hectic schedule? Sure it is. And the sooner you do, the sooner you can return fresh and more than ready to take on all those new projects.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A recent family incident can help bring everyone closer, and there’s no one who’s better at making that happen than you. Accept (indeed, insist on!) help from others to get things off and running.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Long-held habits are often difficult to break. But the change from how you always did things to how you can do them now can be liberating. So, be flexible and give it a try.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Someone you met in your professional world last year and thought you would never hear from again could make a sud-den reappearance in your life, along with an interesting job offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Once again, you delight everyone by coming up with a solution for a problem that actually works. On another note, it’s not too early to get started on those travel plans.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Before you go ahead with finalizing your plans for your new project, check them over to see if you can make some improvements or if you can find ways to cut costs.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) The Fabulous Fish might have been out of the social swim for too long, and it’s time you plunge back in. Reinforce your old friend-ships and be open to starting new ones.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your creative talents help bring beauty to the world and the people in it. On their behalf, thank you.

Basketball program in running for best in nationBy Crystal [email protected]

With five state titles in the past 10 years, and already 12 wins racked up, Faith Chris-tian Academy’s boys basketball team is headed for one slam dunk of a season.

Currently 12-1, Faith’s varsity boys bas-ketball team is in the running to be USA Today’s No.1 program in the nation. A fan-based competition, fans of each program are encouraged to vote online for their team, and beginning Jan. 12, the Eagles quickly sweeping the state round with more than 63,000 votes.

“I think it’s cool to see how many people care,” said Grant Harkness, one of the se-niors on the basketball team. “I’m not say-ing just care about basketball, but they care about the school too, a lot of the people vot-ing go to the church too.”

Nominated for their current statistics, such as on-court success, coach and player development, community support, train-ing, quality of facilities and uniforms, FCA attributed this to not to just determination and hard work, but to putting God first, in all they do.

“Our goal before the season was to have an undefeated season,” Harkness said, “And that’s a really cool goal, but a lot of it is God’s

blessing, and feeling God flow through us on the court.”

Prior to the start of the season, the team of 12 began building chemistry by working out, lifting weights, practicing and travel-ing together, growing the trust and bonds between them not just as players, but as friends.

“As a whole they worked very hard prior to the season,” said Eagles Coach and Faith Principal, Andrew Hasz. “The chemistry and the fact that there are multiple guys who can do some pretty amazing things, it doesn’t just come down to one guy — that’s been fun, they’ve been working really hard to play together as a team.”

Now one of 56 teams left in Round Two of the competition, the team said they’re focused on getting to playoffs and win-ning another 3A State Championship. Something, said Senior Spencer Bazz, they haven’t done since his freshman year.

“We’ve seen it all, the highest point of winning state our freshman year, to not quite making it the last two,” he said. “It just shows what can happen if you work hard, trust your teammates and have con-fidence.”

Voting for the regional round of the com-petition runs through Jan. 29, with the top 10 schools with the highest number of votes advancing to the national round.

Two CSM basketballers earn academic honorSta� Report

Colorado School of Mines men’s basket-ball redshirt sophomore Garrett Loew and sophomore Gokul Natesan each earned their first RMAC First Team All-Academic awards during the release of the annual conference all-academic squads last week.

Loew, from Kearney, Montana, averages 4.8 points and 2.2 rebounds in 16.0 minutes on 57.1 percent (24-of-42) shooting, 3-of-10 (.300) threes and 11-of-13 (.846) free throws.

The leading scorer off the bench, Loew has four games of nine or more points – all by 75.0 percent shooting or better – includ-ing a career-high 12 on 6-of-7 field goals against Black Hills State on Dec. 13.

Named to the All-Academic Honor Roll in 2013-14, he began the season with 3.918 GPA in Petroleum Engineering.

Natesan currently ranks sixth in the RMAC in three-point field goal percentage (.461), seventh in steals (25), ninth in three-pointers (35) and 14th in scoring (13.8 ppg). He is second on Mines (14-1, 10-1 RMAC)

in assists (42), third in free throws (42) and free throw percentage (.724), and fourth in rebounding (2.9 rpg).

He has at least one three-point make in 17 straight games and 34 of his 45 collegiate contests.

A Santa Clara, California native, Natesan holds a 3.975 GPA in Computer Science.

Redshirt freshman Zach Rusk (3.774 GPA – Mechanical Engineering) earned selec-tion on the RMAC All-Academic Honor Roll.

To qualify for Academic All-RMAC, student-athletes must have a GPA of 3.30 or better, be a starter or reserve, and com-pleted two consecutive semesters or three quarters at their current institution.

first classes in Arvada. “To see what Community First has come together with, and what I know our city council will

put together in terms of some assistance and what I know each and every one of you will do on an individual and business basis to close that funding gap — it’s all going to be such a tremendous asset for our community.”

Currently, Red Rocks is gathering the final funds and is expected to break ground on the project in July of this year, with classes starting in 2016.

starved of financial assistance due to state underfunding.

“Colorado is just in such a bad spot with our education funding, we have

this negative factor in place that’s pre-venting three quarters of a million in funding,” Kerr said.

Last week, Republicans on the Senate Education Committee, voted against a bill sponsored by Kerr that would cap tuition increases at 6 per-cent for in-state undergraduates. Rea-sons for the party’s rejection stemmed from a concern in limiting funding op-

tions for colleges.“I appreciate the direction of SB1,”

Kerr said, but added that funding edu-cation also helps to sustain the middle class.

“How are we going to keep the doors of our schools open?” he said. “We have to look long term.”

Cadman did not respond by press time for this report.

Music in the snowFirst UllrGrass Festival celebrates bluegrass, brews and sportsBy Clarke [email protected]

In the summertime, it’s easy to find music festivals in Colorado. The weather makes everyone want to be outside, and live music makes it that much better.

It’s a little trickier in the winter.

The organizers of the first annual UllrGrass Festi-val — named for the Norse god of winter — are bring-ing some of the top names in the local bluegrass scene and brewers from Golden together to defy the ele-ments and launch a winter music festival.

Coal Creek Music is host-ing UllrGrass at multiple stages in Golden Jan. 30 through Feb. 1.

“We have great music here in Golden and Coal Creek Music has been look-ing to work with new festi-vals,” said Chris Thompson, executive director of Ullr-Grass & Coral Creek Music. “I’ve always lamented leav-ing town to see live music,

and so we got involved with summer music. Not much happens when it snows but we want to pull people out of their igloos.”

The headliner of the show is legendary bluegrass performer Peter Rowan playing with members of Leftover Salmon and The Infamous Stringdusters. Other performers include Head for the Hills, Coral Creek, The Grant Farm, The Drunken Hearts, Rapid-grass Quintet, Thunder & Rain, Ragged Union, Cari-bou Mountain Collective,

The Sweet Lillies and more.Musicians will play at

Parfet Park in the afternoon, the Golden Hotel, Mountain Toad Brewery during happy hour and Buffalo Rose for the evening sets.

Thompson said the beer festival will feature more than a dozen Colorado craft breweries, including Moun-tain Toad, Golden City and Coda. The beer festival will be 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31, in Parfet Park.

Golden’s nearness to the mountain means the city is home to a lot of out-door sports enthusiasts and Thompson is planning events for them as well throughout the festival.

“We’ going to have mountain climbing clubs doing activities and orga-nized bike rides and walks,” he said.

Adam Kinghorn, guitar-ist for Head for the Hills, grew up in Golden and said he’s glad to see Thompson and Coal Creek bring more attention to the city’s live music scene. He has been

a longtime advocate of the scene and is even featured in the Golden History Mu-seum speaking about the music.

“Chris and I have been playing with each other’s bands for years now and he’s responsible in a lot of ways for the thriving music scene here,” Kinghorn said. “He knew we would want to be part of this festival and we’re so happy to be part of it.”

All the members of Head for the Hills write and sing and Kinghorn said they each bring their own influ-ences, whether it’s jazz or punk, into the bluegrass they make.

“It’s a great time to be part of Colorado’s music scene — I think people here are more open to new ideas,” he said. “Being able to listen to music outside is part of our culture out here, especially when you have the views we do.”

Cart-Driver completes spaceCart-Driver, in Denver’s RiNo

neighborhood, completed its indoor/outdoor private dining space. Over-looking the interior courtyard of 25th and Larimer’s reclaimed shipping container complex, Cart-Driver can host seated or reception-style events of up to 25 people. In the summer, the room’s all-weather canvas windows can be removed, transforming it to a transitional indoor/outdoor venue.

“Since opening, we’ve been busy — and fortunate — enough to be able to fill more seats than have always been available,” said partner Andrew Birkholz. “With the transition of the

restaurant’s rear outdoor space to an indoor/outdoor private dining area, we’re able to provide more seats to patrons year-round, as well as the flexibility and privacy of a private din-ing room.”

Cart-Driver recently expanded hours and menus to offer lunch, as well as “Before & After” happy hour and late night menus, and has also implemented a direct-ship oyster pro-gram with Washington-based Hama Hama oysters. The naturally grown and hand-harvested oysters, available directly from the sea to Cart-Driver guests’ plates in one day, join the res-taurant’s premium wood-fired pizzas, seasonal market plates and signature campfire vanilla soft serve.

Try a little tenornessIt’s never too early to book a date

night with your valentine. For some-thing different, consider a romantic Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14 for those who forgot) evening with tenor Mark Masri at 8 p.m. at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St.

The Boston Globe says the Cana-dian tenor is “melting the hearts of

female audience members like warm chocolate.” Masri will treat you and your valentine to a songbook of love songs from all over the world and a champagne intermission.

Masri has a jaw-dropping vocal range and brings audiences to their feet. Tickets range from $36 to $60. Tickets may be purchased online at www.lonetreeartscenter.org or by calling 720-509-1000 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
