Superintendent Cindy Stevenson resigned from Jeffco Schools Saturday amid expressions of dissatisfaction with the direction of the school board.

Following the general election in November, Stevenson announced her retirement and had agreed to serve through June — allowing the district time to recruit a new superintendent — before Saturday’s resignation.

“I can’t lead and manage, because

I am not trusted or respected by this board of education,” Stevenson said at the start of the meeting. “Consequent-ly, I did approach the board, and said this isn’t working.”

Stevenson’s decision came after three months of work with a board that contains three newly elected board members: John Newkirk, Julie Williams, and Ken Witt, who are cred-ited with sharing conservative per-

spectives. According to a press release, sent out by the board’s attorney, Ste-venson approached the board seeking early termination of her contract. Ste-venson said the three do not respect her or allow her to make decisions or lead the district.

Supply is in high demand for Real Estate market Home purchases and mortgage rates to rise in 2014 according to experts By Amy Woodward awoodward@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Housing market experts seem to be in agreement that real estate is booming and healthy in Colorado.

For Jeffco, single family homes averaged 48 days on the market which is a 32 percent de-crease from 2012 where single family homes averaged 71 days, according to a market re-port from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.

“It’s showing a healthy market, it’s leaning a little bit to the buyer’s side and that’s just a lack of inventory,” Mike Welk, metrolist director of DMAR said.

“That lack of inventory is going to be one of the obstacles consumers will face as demand surpasses supply. New listings are down 35 percent which is drastically under where the county is normally at,” Welk said.

“When we have an increase in price and a decrease on days on market we’re just get-ting a competitive situation where supply is not there but the demand is very high which is driving the price up and lowering the days on the market,” he said. “We just need more inventory on the market for it to be more of a balanced market.”

Still, buyers are purchasing homes over the asking price and cities like Golden are seeing homes being gobbled up by eager homebuy-ers. Today, the city of Golden has only six ac-tive listings and homes that hit the market can disappear in fi ve days or less but no more than 26 days, according to Golden Real Estate.

In the past there were 20 to 30 listings, said Jim Smith, broker and owner of Golden Real Estate.

“If you’re thinking of selling your home and thinking that buying season is in the spring, forget about it,” Smith said. “That’s what peo-ple need to know is there is no season for buy-ing.”

Smith reported that low interest rates on mortgages have contributed to the buying frenzy and why “it’s been such a hot winter for real estate.”

But Smith, along with Welk both predict that mortgage rates will increase as winter turns to spring and the state begins to warm up.

“Mortgage rates will probably continue to increase this year, into the fi ve (percent) may-be,” Welk said.

He projects that demand from buyers will increase and for homeowners who were con-sidered a distressed property, they may see a comeback this year.

“With the median home price going up, if you were underwater the last year or so, you’ll probably come back to being even or having a little equity in your property,” Welk said.

“Now is a good time whether you’re a buyer or a seller to get out there and use a realtor and just ask questions.”

This one is for the dogsAs someone who covers the state Legis-

lature, it’s common for me to write about lawmakers who fight like cats and dogs.

Yeah, yeah, I get it. Legislators will tell you that more than 90 percent of bills are passed with bipartisan support. No argu-ment there.

But do they really expect the press to write about a unanimous resolution to designate the month of July as Go Fly a Kite Month? Not sure if that’s something that’s actually happened, but you get my point.

On the heavy-duty bills having to do with gun control and oil and gas regula-tions, lawmakers sure do know how to throw down, steel cage-style. They fight and scratch and claw and bite, and cover-ing that messy business can get old after a while.

So imagine my delight when I found out that a group of lawmakers, who at times fight like cats and dogs, get together periodically to talk about taking care of cats and dogs — and other cute critters, large and small. The Colorado Legislative Animal Caucus, or CLAW, is made up of a bipartisan group of lawmakers who deal with any kind of legislation having to do with animals.

“We discuss all kinds of animal issues,” said state Sen. David Balmer, R-Centenni-al, a caucus co-chairman. “Large animals like horses and cows and very small animals like reptiles and birds. We discuss everything.”

The caucus gets together to discuss potential legislation. The consensus on issues is non-binding, but it serves a starting point for animal bills that end up being introduced at the Capitol.

As a reporter who can lose political romance due to the often-ugly sausage-making process at the Capitol, it’s kind of nice being able to recognize lawmakers who take time to craft legislation aimed at protecting our “Snausage” eating four-legged friends.

When folks think about the role of state legislators, they think of budget commit-tees and floor votes. Few would guess that

lawmakers convene as a special body to talk about animal welfare issues.

“I think some folks might be surprised,” said Rep. Steve Lebsock, D-Thornton, a CLAW caucus member. “But, to be honest with you, 60 percent of the households in Colorado have either a dog or cat. They might be surprised if we didn’t have a caucus.

“People love animals. Their little dogs and cats are like their children and grand-children. I think a lot of people would be really proud to see their lawmakers look-ing out for the welfare of animals in the state.”

Caucus member Rep. Lois Court, D-Denver, said it shouldn’t come as any surprise that the legislature has its own caucus that deals with issues pertaining to animals.

“We have caucuses to talk about the disabled, veterans and rural Colorado,” she said. “Our constituents across the state have a gazillion of particular interests. And there is a huge population in this state who is concerned about animal welfare.”

While lawmakers who participate in the CLAW caucus do so out of a love for animals, not everything that the body deals with is touchy-feely legislation. They actually take up quite a few controversial issues. For example, last year the Legisla-ture passed a bill that designates shelter dogs and cats as being the official state pet, something that spurred opposition from breeders and pet shop businesses.

And Lebsock introduced a bill that would limit the practice of tail dock-ing, where a dairy cow’s tail is partially amputated. That bill, which received op-position from dairy groups, didn’t make it

out of the Capitol last year, but Lebsock is pleased that the issue could end up on the ballot this fall.

So, just like any other issue, all politics is local when it comes to animal matters.

“I think legislators are reticent to vote against a bill that’s helping dogs and cats,” Balmer said. “But when it comes to the large animal issues, you can almost predict how a legislator is going to come down on it based on how their district looks.”

If you know Balmer, his participation in the CLAW caucus should come as no surprise. He is known at the Capitol as the “dog legislator.”

Last year, Balmer sponsored legislation that created law enforcement train-ing practices whenever cops encounter dogs at crime scenes. The legislation was spurred by incidents where dogs were shot and killed by officers who were respond-ing to house calls. And this year, Balmer’s bill to allow emergency medical personnel to provide medical care to domestic dogs and cats is expected to become law.

Balmer owns three dogs — two vizlas (a type of Hungarian hunting dog) and a Ger-man Long-haired pointer. Balmer boasts his love of dogs through his email tag, which reads: Be as good as your dog. The Centennial senator is a dog lover — and who can blame a guy for that?

“Dogs are inherently good,” he said. “They are always trying to celebrate your homecoming. When you go to the grocery store and come back home, it’s a big deal for them. Any time you’re having a sad day, your dog will sense it and comfort you. They are a greater creature of love than we are.”

Tell me about it. Bennie, my 11-year-old mystery mutt, has been a vital part of my life since he was a puppy. If I could point to the day when I fell in love with him, it was when I was watching a Cubs game on TV. Livid at the Cubs perfor-mance — which, as a Cubs fan, I often am — I threw my Cubs cap at the TV set in disgust.

Bennie, who was on the couch with me,

looked up at me for a second, hopped off the couch, fetched my baseball cap and brought it back to me. Oh, the goose-bumps I still get from that.

Most recently, I came home from a Super Bowl party, depressed and dejected from the Broncos’ performance. I wanted nothing to do with anyone or anything. I flopped on the couch and stared at the wall, deflated and miserable. Bennie hopped on the couch, shook his tail and licked my face. Suddenly, life was so much better. The solace in having your heart broken is coming home to a dog who licks your wounds.

Balmer’s love for dogs knows no bounds. He was a major in the Army re-serves who served a tour in Afghanistan in 2002. The streets were full of stray Dogs of War who lacked food and veterinary care.

“They stayed with us and slept in the shade of our vehicles,” he said. “We weren’t supposed to let them get in any of our vehicles, but a lot of our soldiers did. I always looked the other way. We sort of adopted the dogs as our own.”

Court is touched whenever she comes across military veterans with service dogs, who provide companionship for soldiers in need of loyalty and love.

“Their pets are lifesavers for them,” she said. “They are incredibly important mem-bers of their families.

Whenever Balmer leaves office, if he is remembered as being nothing other than a dog champion, he’s totally OK with that.

“I couldn’t be more proud of that label,” he said. “I have spent nine years at the Capitol developing a reputation as a conservative Republican, which I’m also proud of. But I am immensely proud to be known as the dog legislator. People are calling me that now and I couldn’t be happier to have that moniker and wear it with pride.”

By JIM SMITH, Realtor ® Buyers will often tell me they want to find a home with no homeowners association (“HOA”). If the home is in a pre-1990 subdivision, that is quite possible. HOA-averse buyers may have an RV or a boat which they want to park on their property. Most HOAs have rules against that. Or such buyers might have had a bad experience with an HOA enforc-ing rules or covenants they deemed unreasonable, and it left a bad taste in their mouths. HOAs serve a valid purpose — to protect the property values of all member homeowners by not allow-ing individual homeowners to ne-glect their property or, yes, to store RVs, boats or large commercial vehicles where they can be seen from the street or by neighbors. Back in the 1970s and 1980s subdivisions were created with de-veloper-created covenants serving similar purposes, but it wasn’t until later that they included the creation of HOAs for the purpose of main-taining common property and amen-

ities and enforcing those covenants. When you buy a home in such a subdivision, you must agree to ac-cept the covenants and pay dues to the HOA. If you don’t pay those dues, they can become a lien on your property, and an HOA can even foreclose on your property if HOA dues go unpaid for six months. In smaller subdivisions, these HOAs might be self-managed, but larger subdivisions typically hire an HOA management company to han-dle the day-to-day business of col-lecting dues, maintaining and paying property taxes on common areas, etc.. The HOA itself has a board of directors consisting of homeowners elected at an annual meeting. This board hires (and can fire) the man-agement company. Seeing the need for rules govern-ing both HOAs and their manage-ment companies, Colorado’s legisla-ture created the HOA Information Office within the Division of Real Estate and gave it powers which I outlined in my Jan. 16th column, which is archived at www.JimSmith Columns.com.

We’re beginning to see neighbor-hood associations being created in those older subdivisions without HOAs. They can call themselves “HOAs” but they have no enforce-ment powers and are not overseen or regulated by the HOA Information Office. Heritage Dells is one such neighborhood. They hold social events and they raised money for a “Heritage Dells” sign on Kimball Avenue. In last week’s column I mistakenly said that Lakehurst West has “no HOA and no covenants” — a com-mon misperception of these older areas. Readers in that neighbor-hood quickly informed me that there is a vibrant “HOA” which publishes a newsletter distributed by 20 block captains and maintains an excellent website — www.LakehurstWest.org. They can’t enforce those old cove-nants, but they serve the com-munity in many ways. From now on, I’ll be more careful about de-scribing a listing as hav-ing “no HOA and no covenants.”

Walk to Old Town Arvada From This Bungalow From the street, your first impression of this home at 5420 Garrison Street is a small bungalow with a 1-car garage, but peek behind and you notice an oversized 2-car detached garage (see photo) of matching brick construction. This home is being sold by the same man who bought it in 1965. Returning from combat duty in Vietnam, he had the basement dug out, creating a 9-foot ceiling, walk-out stairs to the backyard, concrete floor and stone-faced wood-burning fireplace, and he installed a French drain and built that garage, which is fitted with 220-volt outlets inside and out! The house itself has two bedrooms and two baths, hardwood floors, a high-efficiency gas furnace and includes all kitchen appliances plus washer & dryer. There’s a large covered concrete patio behind the house, plus a grassy backyard enclosed by a new 6-foot privacy fence. Open this Saturday, 1-4pm.

Chamber president relishes public service New event scheduled for May By Amy Woodward awoodward@coloradocommunitymedia.com

For the chamber’s new CEO, Dawn Smith, helping others behind the scenes is nothing new.

After spending 10 years in the fi lm in-dustry, working for charitable organiza-tions and inspiring youth through teach-ing; Smith is shining in the public service sector.

Now she is managing others through an organization dedicated to building a strong economic community both behind the scenes and in public view.

Born in Detroit, Smith graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a degree in English and literature with a minor in

communication with a concentration in theatre arts. At 22, Smith got a job teach-ing English, public speaking and drama in Chester, South Carolina to rural kids. It was there that she developed a drama program and began to work as a production assis-tant on the side during summer vacations.

After two years as a teacher, she began working movie sets as an extra and a pro-duction assistant, acting in commercials, and doing voiceovers for radio and TV. She made the big move from the East to West coast and arrived in Los Angeles at the end of 1995, where she worked her way up to production offi ce coordinator, the com-munication hub for the 33 different de-partments in a production company.

She worked on movies such as Austin Powers, “The Spy Who Shagged Me” and “Wag the Dog” starring Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman and “Enemy of the State” featuring Will Smith.

“The common theme throughout all my jobs is it’s always been an event coordi-nating position, sometimes they’re movie stars, sometimes they’re high schoolers at other points they were attorneys,” Smith said. “I’ve always appreciated the opportu-nity to help.”

From working as an offi ce manager for a law fi rm to working as a newsroom coor-dinator for KPBS, San Diego’s NPR affi liate; Smith has a rare background fi lled with theatrics and management. Moreover, after returning to Colorado with her hus-band in 2006, Smith set her sights on the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Colo-rado Chapter working on the development team before landing a job as the executive director for the Conifer Chamber.

Sides gear up for fracking battleFight expected over possible November ballot measureBy Vic Velavvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com

With a ballot measure looming that could determine the future of hydraulic fracking in Colorado, oil and gas industry leaders are preparing for a battle.

“We’ve got a serious fight on our hands in 2014,” Tim Wrigley, president of the Western Energy Alliance said.

Wrigley’s comments came during a Jan. 31 forum in downtown Denver, where leaders from the oil and gas industry and other business groups converged.

The hour-long discussion focused on developing pro-industry voter outreach strategies in anticipation of a potential November ballot initiative that is being driven by anti-fracking advocates.

Fracking is the mixing of water, sand and chemicals that are blasted deep into the surface to crack porous rock to free up blocked oil and gas. So far, five Colorado cities and more than 100 municipalities across the nation have either placed bans or other limits on the practice.

The group behind the ballot proposal, the Colorado Community Rights Network, is the same organization that spearheaded last year’s successful ballot measure in Lafayette that banned any new oil and gas drilling there.

If it makes it on to the ballot, the proposal — which was filed as a poten-tial state constitutional amendment last month — would allow cities to block oil and gas development, as well as any other kind of business practice that could have harmful impacts on residents’ well-being.

Organizers have until August to collect 86,105 valid signatures for the proposal to make it on the November ballot.

Cliff Wilmeng of the Colorado Com-munity Rights Network says the ballot proposal goes beyond allowing cities to ban fracking.

“Oil and gas isn’t even mentioned in the amendment,” he said. “The motivation is

to ensure communities are able to exercise fundamental democratic rights and self determination.”

But the oil and gas industry knows exactly what the ballot proposal is all about — it’s a statewide ef-fort that could have serious repercussions for the fracking business, something that they believe is a critically important industry practice.

“The ground has shifted forever under our feet,” Wrigley said. “All eyes of the country are on our state now.”

No easy answersDebate over fracking proves that there

are no easy answers when it comes to this highly polarizing issue.

Anti-fracking activists argue that it can have long-term effects on the envi-ronment and can cause drinking water contamination.

Those who are adamantly opposed to fracking say that research into its effects on health has only begun to scratch the surface, as researchers continue to learn new information about the practice.

For example, last week the University of Colorado released a study that indicates a higher percentage of birth defects among mothers who live near natural gas wells.

But supporters of the industry insist that the practice is a safe one and one that creates jobs. They also point to statistics that show that fracking has made the U.S. less reliant upon foreign oil.

“The facts are totally on our side,” Tisha Schuller, president of the Colorado Oil and Gas Association said.

Schuller also told the forum that oil and gas money is so important to the state that 8 percent of Colorado’s economy would be at risk if the ballot measure proves suc-cessful.

“It would be devastating,” she said. “It would take out Colorado’s economy im-mediately.”

But Wilmeng said that the oil and gas industry is being “short-sided” on this is-sue, ignoring environmental threats, while corporate CEO’s pad their wallets.

“If the oil and gas industry is so confi-dent in their longevity and popularity in the state, they should defer the decision making to the people of Colorado,” he said.

The politics of frackingMaking the issue even more difficult

are the complicated politics that surround it.

Yes, polls show that most fracking sup-porters are Republicans and most who oppose the practice are Democrats. How-ever, Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat and a geologist by trade, is a supporter of fracking. Schuller of COGA is a Democrat as well.

Then there’s Fort Collins, located in Republican-leaning Larimer County, where voters last year put in place a five-year moratorium on fracking.

Hickenlooper’s position on fracking has at times put him at odds with envi-ronmental advocates and members of his own party. He and his administration are co-plaintiffs in an oil and gas industry lawsuit against city of Longmont over its recent citizen-driven fracking ban. Hick-enlooper’s administration’s position is that state law supersedes municipalities on matters like these.

“The main frustration we have with Gov. Hickenlooper is that he has no re-spect for the fundamental right of democ-racy for the people of the state,” Wilmeng said.

The Legislature has also been criticized by anti-fracking advocates for not doing enough on the issue.

Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, said the Legislature has taken steps to address some of those concerns. She pointed to an increase in the number of well inspectors and said the state has set up infrared cameras meant to detect methane near drill sites.

Carroll also mentioned a bill that is making its way through the Capitol that

would require warnings on home pur-chase contracts, letting potential buyers know whether the land is on a split-estate property where drilling can occur. And she said that the Legislature could deal with local control issues as early as this session.

At the same time, Carroll acknowledged the political realities associated with the fracking issue.

“There’s other things that, for some of us personally or for our districts, would like to see done,” she said. “But like every other bill, it’s a vote counting-process.

“Sometimes what’s popular or unpopu-lar with the public isn’t the same as what’s popular or unpopular with elected offi-cials in the building,” she said. “I think this is a case where there is pent-up frustration for failing to see enough movement (at the Legislature) and I think it’s totally the prerogative of people at the local level to take issues into their own hands.”

In the meantime, the fight over fracking continues and both sides are in the pro-cess of mapping out their strategies.

Schuller urged fracking supporters to be sympathetic to the concerns of those who have doubts about the practice.

“My overwhelming message is not about necessarily getting the facts out alone, this is about an empathetic connec-tion, building trust for decades to come,” she said after last month’s forum. “Oil and gas has been here for 100 years and we’re going to be here for decades to come. How do we let people know that this has been done safely and effectively for communi-ties for a very long time? That’s what we’re working on.”

Wilmeng hopes that voters across the state connect to same message that rallied Lafayette voters — that the “unaccount-able” oil and gas industry is engaging in a dangerous environmental practice that needs to be curbed.

“We look at this as a movement,” he said of allowing local “self-determination” on matters such as fracking. “What we’re considering hasn’t been done in a very, very long time. There’s no question we’re moving forward on this.”

American Indian tuition bill clears committeeIn-state prices for those with tribal connections to Colorado consideredBy Vic Velavvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Out-of-state American Indian college students who have tribal connections to Colorado will be able pay in-state tuition rates here, under a bill that passed a legis-lative committee on Feb. 5.

House Bill 1124 would apply to any stu-dent, regardless of where they reside in the country, so long as they are a member of one of the 48 federally-recognized Indian tribes with historical ties to Colorado.

Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, the bill’s sponsor, told the House Education Com-mittee that the bill would give assistance to a group of people that has historically been underrepresented at colleges and universi-ties.

Salazar said his bill would provide American Indian students with more op-portunities to receive an affordable college education.

“American Indians are some of the most economically impoverished people in the history of the country,” Salazar said.

Salazar brought up the historical plight of American Indians as motivation behind the bill.

“We recognize that American Indians were forcibly removed from their home-land and that, had it not been for that, they would be able to receive in state-tuition in the state of Colorado.”

Supporters of the bill testified that

American Indians are the least likely group to attend colleges or universities. Deborah Esquibel Hunt, the American Indian Stu-dent Services director at the University of Colorado at Denver, said that American Indians make up about 2 percent of the state’s population and less than 1 percent of the student population at CU-Denver.

“That is an underrepresentation of an underrepresented group,” Hunt said. “It is an incredible loss we are encountering because we cannot maintain American In-dian students in Colorado.”

About 2,500 American Indians could end up enrolling in state colleges and uni-versities if the bill becomes law, according to the Colorado House Democrats commu-nication staff.

According to the Legislative Council, there are about 700 nonresident students who identify themselves as American Indi-an who attend Colorado colleges and uni-versities. The bill would increase expendi-tures from the state’s College Opportunity Fund by at least $668,160 annually, begin-ning the next fiscal year.

The tuition bill would apply to all higher education institutions in the state, except for Fort Lewis College in Durango, which already provides free tuition for American Indian students.

Only one person testified in opposition to Salazar’s bill. Maria J. Fay of unincorpo-rated Arapahoe County, who ran an un-successful House District 51 campaign in 2012, said through written testimony that the bill is “a disgrace.”

Fay was unable to provide her own oral testimony, so Salazar read her letter, which trashed his bill.

“By the same logic, African Americans were brought here as slaves,” Fay’s testi-

mony read. “Maybe give in-state tuition to little green men from Mars. Colorado didn’t take their land from them, the federal gov-ernment did… When does it end?”

But the rest of the day’s testimony came from several people who spoke in support of the bill. They included Sasha Hoskie, an Indian education liaison for Adams 12 Five Star Schools.

Hoskie, a Navaho Nation member and third-generation Coloradan, testified that she was approached by a representative from Arizona State University several years ago, who offered her an in-state tuition rate to go to college there.

Hoskie went to school at ASU and came back to Colorado in hopes of furthering her education, only to realize that she would have to pay out-of-state tuition in a state

where she had lived for most of her life.“I realized financially, I couldn’t afford

it,” she said. “I would have benefited from this program.”

The bill passed the Democrat-led com-mittee following a bipartisan vote of 9-4. Reps. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, and Jim Wilson, R-Salida, joined all com-mittee Democrats in voting in favor of the bill. The measure now heads to the floor of the House for a full vote.

This is the second year in a row that Democrats have presented legislation to make college more affordable for students with an out-of-state residency classifica-tion. Last year, the Legislature passed a bill that would allow undocumented students to pay in-state tuition rates at colleges and universities.

E� ort to repeal gun measure rejected Bill targeted law requiring background checks By Vic Vela vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Another gun battle took center stage at the Capitol on Feb. 3, as a Senate commit-tee rejected a Republican effort to undo a key Democrat-backed gun measure from last year.

Testimony on a bill that sought to repeal a law that requires background checks on all gun sales and transfers in the state last-ed more than six hours before the Senate’s State, Veteran’s and Military Affairs Com-mittee killed the measure. The bill failed following a 3-2 party-line vote.

Democrats and other supporters of universal background checks say they are working and that the law has made it more diffi cult for guns to get into the wrong hands. But Sen. George Rivera, R-Pueblo, the repeal bill’s sponsor, argued that the new law would have done nothing to pre-vent recent mass shootings, such as the ones that occurred in 2012 inside an Auro-

ra theater and at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School.

“If people intend on doing something evil, they’re going to do it,” Rivera said. “That’s just a fact.”

Last year, Democrats succeeded in pass-ing bills that expanded gun background checks, and put in place a requirement that high-capacity ammunition magazines be limited to 15 rounds. Republicans are also trying to repeal the latter measure.

There was fallout as a result of those ef-forts as three Democratic senators either lost their seats or resigned as a result of gun vote-motivated recall elections. Rivera won his Senate seat last fall in a recall elec-tion over former Democratic Sen. Angela Giron, making him a rare Republican to represent Pueblo in the Senate.

“My constituents in Pueblo sent me here to give a message: They don’t like the gun laws,” Rivera said.

Rivera told the committee that he was not against background checks. His bill would have required only licensed gun dealers to conduct background checks, which had already been a part of state law prior to last year’s measure being enacted.

Rivera’s bill would have done away with the new requirement that background checks be conducted for private and online sales, and it would have gotten rid of the fees that individuals are required to pay for their background checks.

Several supporters of Rivera’s bill said that the new requirements are burden-some to law-abiding citizens.

“As long as Democrats are in offi ce they are going to be going after our Second Amendment Rights,” said Joe Neville of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners.

But supporters of the new background checks pointed to results. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation says that 104 people who tried buying guns last year failed background checks because they had criminal records. That’s a testament to the background checks law expansion, supporters said. And if even one of those background checks stops just one criminal from getting their hands on a gun, the law is worth it, they said.

“The value of one life is worth the in-convenience of the others,” said Sen. Irene Aguilar, D-Denver.

Dave Hoover, a longtime police offi cer

whose nephew, A.J. Boik, was killed in the Aurora theater shooting, was one of sev-eral people to speak in opposition of Ri-vera’s repeal effort. Hoover said that Colo-radans should do “anything we can do to prevent gun violence” and that he doesn’t want “anybody else to get that phone call,” which informed him that his nephew had been shot.

“It’s about accountability,” Hoover said. “It’s about holding gun holders responsible for what they do when they get rid of their fi rearms.”

Though emotional at times, the hear-ing lacked the intensity of last year’s gun bill committee hearings. In fact, Rivera and other Republican senators thanked Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, the committee chairman, for his handling of the hearing.

Still, Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, a committee member, said that Democrats who pushed for the gun laws still aren’t paying attention to voters who didn’t appreciate their efforts last year.

“You didn’t listen close enough because there are three senators who aren’t here,” Harvey said.

Suicide prevention commission proposed By Vic Vela vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Mountains and sunshine and healthy and active life-styles aside, Colorado holds a dubious distinction that isn’t a part of the state’s tourism campaign.

Colorado ranks among the highest in the nation for sui-cides. In 2012, more Coloradans died as a result of taking their own lives than those who were killed in a car wreck.

And suicide is the leading cause of death among young persons between the ages of 10 and 34.

“Despite being one the most beautiful states in the country, we have one of the highest suicide rates in the country — and consistently,” said state Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton.

The question is why?Newell and Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, are hop-

ing that a bill they are co-sponsoring can help the state get

to the bottom of that issue.The two lawmakers are behind Senate Bill 88, which

would create the Suicide Prevention Commission. The commission would be made up of about 20 people who represent various sectors of society, including those with professional backgrounds that are relevant to suicide pre-vention.

The commission would advise the current state Offi ce of Suicide Prevention in developing priorities and action plans having to do with curbing suicides. The commission would also make annual recommendations to the gover-nor’s offi ce.

“We’re hoping that, with this commission, we will pri-oritize (suicide prevention) and bring this up as an issue that we need to address and not be silent on anymore,” Newell said.

Newell said that the staffi ng inside the Offi ce of Suicide Prevention - which is made up of one person - is inade-quate and needs more help.

“I’ve been asking for more resources for that offi ce for two years and haven’t got it,” she said. “He’s been collect-ing data as much as possible but he doesn’t have time to analyze it.

Newell said much of the commission’s work will be to focus on fi guring out why Colorado’s suicide rate is so high. Newell pointed to several possible problem areas, such as the state’s large number of military veterans, the lack of access to mental health services in rural areas, and the Western U.S. culture of “rugged individualism,” one that doesn’t always translate to people seeking help.

Kraft-Tharp said that it’s particularly disturbing to see young people committing suicide. She talked about the recent incident at Jefferson County’s Standley Lake High School, where a student doused himself with gasoline be-fore deliberately setting himself on fi re.

“This happens in our own neighborhoods, right around the corner,” Kraft-Tharp said. “And we need to fi gure out why it affects our state.”

Susan Marine, a board member of the Suicide Pre-vention Coalition of Colorado, testifi ed before the Sen-ate Health and Human Services Committee on Feb. 6 in support of the bill. Marine’s two sons took their own lives, including one who was an assistant city attorney in Thorn-ton.

“My passion of being an advocate stems from my own loss and my hope that I can spare other parents from trag-edies,” Marine told committee members.

But Newell’s bill was met with skepticism from Republi-cans who wondered why this effort needs to be supported with state dollars.

Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, pointed to the bill’s fi scal note, which indicates that the commission will come with an annual price tag of at least $80,000.

“It tells me that you want the government to run this,” Lundberg told Newell. “I think you’ll fi nd that this is just the tip of the iceberg in the fi scal note on what resources will be required.”

And Sen. Larry Crowder, R-Alamosa, wondered wheth-er he was being asked to support a bill that creates more government, but doesn’t produce results.

“Are we building a bureaucracy that creates an entity that has no action?” Crowder said. The committee will vote on the bill at a future hearing.

A talented trio of quartets Throughout music history there seems

to be quite a number of quartets that have been popular. String quartets, jazz quartets, and what is probably the most popular band in history also happened to be a quartet.

Well this month the Lakewood Cultural Center will be featuring a trio of concerts that will feature a quartet of musicians dedicated to each of the examples I just mentioned.

To begin with, on Thursday, Feb. 20 they will be presenting the Minetti Quar-tet, a terrifi c string quartet from Austria. This is a young group consisting of two violins, viola and cello that have won more international prizes since 2003 than any other performing quartet performing to-day. They bring a youthful enthusiasm to classical music that really adds the kind of vibrancy to their performances that never fails to delight any audience. They have toured all over the world and performed at almost every major music festival in Europe. When it comes to chamber music, this is the group you want to go see.

If you were around 50 years ago and

watching television, then you probably saw the Ed Sullivan show that broadcast on Feb. 9, 1964. If not, then you might have heard about it. That was the show where he uttered the words “Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles.” The most popular quartet in history made it’s U.S. television debut that night.

Well if you would like to relive that experience or are a Beatles fan at all, then you don’t want to miss the FourEver Fab show on Friday, Feb. 21. This is a Beatles tribute band based right here in Colo-rado and they recreate the music note for note using authentic gear like Vox amps, Ludwig drums, Rickenbacker and Epiph-

one guitars and the famous violin shaped Hofner bass that Paul McCartney played. They even wear the appropriate costumes to match the different eras of the music. This is one show that promises to have you singing along and remembering the music that has been an important part of most of our lives.

Now when it comes to jazz there were many quartets, but none of them had the magical combination of innovation and popularity that made Dave Brubeck one of the biggest names in jazz. Songs like “Take Five” and “Blue Rondo a la Turk” are some of the most respected and beloved jazz compositions ever.

Dave may have passed away, but his legacy lives on because he has two sons, Chris and Dan who are both amazing jazz musician in their own rites. Chris plays bass and trombone and Dan is a terrifi c jazz drummer. Together they have the Bru-beck Brothers Quartet which also features Mike DeMicco on Guitar and Chuck Lamb on piano. Trust me, this is one smoking hot group that you don’t want to miss, they are all amazing.

The group will be appearing in concert on Saturday, Feb. 22. They will be playing some of the Dave Brubeck classics, but they have their own repertoire of composi-tions as well. It’s just great music all the way around.

Tickets for the Minetti Quartet and the Brubeck Brothers Quartet run $25 for adults, $22.50 for students/seniors, $15 for children (3-12) and a box seat runs $27.50. The FourEver Fab show has all it’s tickets priced at $25.

You can order tickets by going to the Lakewood Cultural Center website at www.lakewood.org/CulturalCenter. For more information call 303-987-7845.

The Lakewood Cultural Center is located at 470 South Alameda Parkway in Lakewood. That’s about Alameda and Wadsworth across for the Belmar Center.

Intimacy skills: � is is what a relationship requires Editor’s note: This is the second of a two-

part series.In honor of Valentine’s week, here is a

continuation of some of the basic inti-macy skills a healthy relationship requires of us:

Make your relationship a top priority. Don’t spend your “prime time” consis-tently preoccupied with other things, and don’t permit yourself to be too tired when you’re around your partner. Consistently show up both emotionally and physically. Take an active interest in the other person and his/her feelings, hopes, hurts, angers and fears, and offer your emotional pres-ence.

You offer emotional presence by trying to deepen your understanding of your partner, and inviting him or her to talk about his/her struggles, aspirations and dreams. What does s/he worry about? Which activities, events or people bring him/her the most satisfaction in life? The most joy? The most pain? What is s/he most looking forward to? What are his/her

goals and dreams over the next fi ve years?Express warmth and be physically

affectionate on a consistent basis. Be-ing “sweet,” using endearments, being romantic, affectionate touch, cards, gifts, fl owers, compliments, date nights — don’t underestimate the power of these behav-iors if they’re done consistently.

Address problems in a civil and constructive way. Many people respond to a disagreement or hurt feelings with anger, rage, name-calling, sarcasm, harsh judgments, criticisms, threats, disrespect-ful behaviors or words, or defensiveness — which poisons the whole environment

between the two of you, and discourages open and honest communication. Make this mistake and your relationship will not be close, friendly or intimate. You cannot be disrespectful to another person and then expect closeness and affection.

Listen for the longing behind your partner’s complaints. Some examples: “If we can’t control our spending, we’ll go bankrupt.” “We’re not having sex often enough.” “Life has too many chores and not enough fun.” In those examples, what would you guess that person is longing for? Yes, s/he might be asking for less spending, more sex and more fun, but s/he may also be longing for more of a fi nancial partnership, more warmth, affection and romance, for a more equal division of chores and for more activities that you can enjoy together. If you address the longing rather than just the complaint, you are far more likely to fi x the problem.

Act loving: don’t just say the words: Nathaniel Branden, in his book Taking Responsibility (Fireside),

reminds us that if we are in a serious rela-tionship, and I say “I Love You,” you have the right to expect that I will be interested in your thoughts and feelings, and that when you speak that I will give you a respectful and attentive hearing. Further-more, if I say I love you, you have the right to assume that I will treat you kindly and benevolently, and that I will be an emo-tional support system for you in times of need or distress. I am not promising to always agree with you, but I am promising to be on your side, to give you empathy and compassion, and to treat your feelings and needs as important to me.

Advocacy groups push to protect sites, signs By Amy Woodward awoodward@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Preservation awareness seems to be growing steadily after Gov. John Hicken-looper made a proclamation on Feb. 6 as Colorado Preservation Day.

“We’re really excited about the proc-lamation for historic preservation day, I think it’s a great step in moving preserva-tion forward throughout Colorado,” said Rachel Parris, program manager for the Endangered Places Program under Colo-rado Preservation,Inc.

This year marks the preservation’s 30th anniversary after its founding in 1984. An annual national conference was held that coincided with its celebration at the Colo-rado Conservation Center on Feb. 6 where the 2014 Endangered Places list was re-leased.

“We will focus on not only those sites that are listed, but as well as the other sites that need to be saved on the list,” Parris said. “We react pretty nimbly to preserva-tion threats that happen throughout the state for properties that are endangered.”

The list, which is managed by the En-dangered Places Program, nominated 30 sites this year but picked fi ve sites to focus

on throughout the state. Today, a total of 101 sites are on the program’s radar, with 33 sites classifi ed as “Saved!” with the re-maining 62 sites undergoing progress. In 30 years, the preservation has lost a total of six sites to demolition.

But for this year’s list, a different kind of preservation effort is unfolding that is tint-ed with a neon glow and fl ashing lights - Colfax’s “Save the Signs” campaign by Neon Signs of Colfax Avenue. The campaign aims to protect the corridor’s iconic neon signs that face endangerment as continued re-urbanization unfolds along US 40.

“Colfax is the mecca for neon signs, it was a thriving commercial corridor mid-

century and is the longest commercial corridor in the United States,” said Corky Scholl, founder of Neon Signs of Colfax Av-enue.

Colorado US 40 runs for 26.5 miles from Aurora to Golden and along the route, there are 12 neon signs listed on the 2014 Endangered Places list with three located on properties that are for sale, Scholl said. Among those three is the Scatterday’s Lum-ber Yard sign in Lakewood.

“The big thing is to raise awareness,” Scholl said. “To let these sign owners know

Inspiration, hope for generations to comeA high school student kills a classmate.

Another sets himself on fire. Still another murders his mother.

Those things happened in Denver’s suburbs in a recent six-week span.

Across the country, media reports tell far and wide of teenagers doing something horribly wrong.

But there are inspirational stories, too, stories of teen achievement, of overcom-ing obstacles. Typically, though, they don’t generate much media buzz outside of the immediate community.

Recently, one did.Bailey Roby is an 18-year-old varsity

basketball player for Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch. In late January, he found himself at the center of controversy because he runs the court on

two prosthetic legs.The Colorado High School Activities

Association made a mid-season ruling that Roby’s appearances in games com-promised his and other players’ safety. For several days, it looked like the fan favor-ite’s playing career was over. Still, he was poised to be there for his teammates.

“Now, I just gotta sit on the bench and support (the team),” Roby said after the Jan. 24 game that, at the time, looked to be his last. “The most important thing is

being a part of the team.”We were the first media outlet to report

on Roby’s plight, but far from the last. The story was covered by most of Den-ver’s print and digital media but also was picked up by, among many others, “Good Morning America” and the British news-paper the Daily Mail. Facebook and Twit-ter were abuzz as social media campaigns ignited by Mountain Vista students and community members pushed to get Roby back in the game.

And that’s what happened. Upon fur-ther review, CHSAA decided Roby could play as long as both teams agreed to it.

The idea that Roby represented a safety risk confounded many.

“I don’t think Bailey is a hazard to any-one on the floor and certainly not to him-

self,” said Roby’s father, Scott. “He’s been in hundreds of practices and he played junior varsity last year. If he falls down, he gets back up.”

Roby’s statistics certainly won’t draw all-state attention — he averages 1.4 points per game, with a season-high of 3, generally seeing action when the pow-erhouse Golden Eagles have a victory wrapped up. The state playoffs tip off in a couple of weeks and it’s likely Roby’s on-court role will become even smaller.

But he’ll be there if the team needs him. Just like his classmates and the com-munity were there when he needed them.

Teamwork. Overcoming obstacles. Get-ting up when you get knocked down.

Teenagers learning life lessons.There’s plenty of good news out there.

question of the week

What is your favorite winter Olympic event?We asked readers what their favorite winter Olympic event is to watch.

Speedskating, because it’s really fast paced.

Santos Gonzales, Aurora

Freestyle skiing. Renee Dodson,

Henderson

Halfpipe. I like to see them fly.

Jim Dodson, Henderson

It used to be figure skating, now curling. It’s hilarious.

Jessica Lakey, Aurora Your life: Fantasy, do not attempt

Are you done talking the Super Bowl? I am too, except to say that I love ya, Broncos.

But I do want to talk about Super Bowl ads, although the crop this year was less remarkable than previous years. Think of the Apple Macintosh “1984” as with its sheer shock value, the same year that Wendy’s introduced us to Clara Peller and the iconic phrase “Where’s the beef?”

Coca-Cola winners have included Mean Joe Green and a desire teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. This year’s goose-bump-raising stunner celebrates the beauty of diversity with Americans of various ethnicities reciting “America the Beautiful.”

Clydesdales and their heartwarming connections are always champs and when we add puppies … well, let’s just say that 35 million online viewers — before the spot even aired during the game — can’t be wrong.

Celebrity endorsements for cars at-tempted to bring a human connection to a category that usually spins, literally, out of control. And it’s this very spinning, ca-reening, jumping, and dust-spewing that caught my attention … although in a very different way than intended.

Legal machinations have long forced auto makers to include disclaimers in ads to protect us from emulating cool stunts performed by “professional drivers on closed courses.” These warnings now also steer us away from believing that cars can fly, and they remind us that cars are not skateboards.

When you’re spending $4 million a pop to reach the unsuspecting public, you better make sure that we stay safe in case we should get a wild notion to, say, piggy back on a commuter train. This is assuming of course that we have trouble evaluating the situation for ourselves, according to the FTC that regulates such things.

I understand the legal necessity of cover-your-butt verbiage, but it’s so condescending. That’s why it’s refreshing to see a move to the fantasy side, as in the new Nissan Rogue commercial where,

during its more extravagant scenes, the disclaimer tells us: “Fantasy. Cars can’t jump on trains.”

Nissan is taking a lot of heat for the reasons I expressed above about the pa-tronizing nature of disclaimers, but I love this fantasy approach. It so clearly says that “You know and we know that cars can’t jump on trains, and even if you don’t know it, this fine print isn’t going stop you anyway.”

Disclaimers may be nonnegotiable, but why not make them funny and notice-able, which is exactly the intent in the first place?

On the other hand, Jeep aired an supposed-to-be-thoughtful ad that en-courages us to step out of complacency but it’s ruined by excessive warnings against actually trying it. We’re told the lone skateboarder is on a closed road and not to attempt a jump into the ocean. But whyare we warned against simple play? Can only a “Professional Child in Closed Field” run through the grass or cavort on a beach?

I enjoy the new disclaimers that poke fun at themselves while fulfilling the legal obligation to protect us, but I’m also alarmed that such ads will soon begin to caution us against stepping out of the house.

I won’t even be surprised when the inevitable verbiage pops us to warn us that our very lives are fantasy — do not attempt.

Andrea Doray is a writer who would really like to attempt some of the stunts in these ads, but she probably won’t. Contact her at a.doray@andreadoray.com.

Funeral HomesVisit: www.memoriams.com

Don’t force-choke one that disagrees About a year and a half ago, I wrote a

column in which I advised that the power of a message is, at least partially, depen-dent on the credibility of the messenger. I said, contrary to my natural tendencies, that style matters, especially if your style causes people to completely look away from the substance of your message. In fact, one of my lines was “You want to talk education reform? Maybe you can start by NOT belittling the hard work of people who have dedicated their lives to working with children.”

Oddly enough, I was kinda slapped upside the head by that line Saturday morning.

Let’s start by acknowledging a couple of realities. The three majority members of the Jefferson County Board of Educa-tion were elected on a clear, conservative “reform” platform. They were also elected by very clear majorities in all three races. The people of Jefferson County spoke.

But, there are other realities. In politics, perception is reality. One perception — fair or not — is that conservatives ap-proach education in the same way that Darth Vader approached the news that the Millennium Falcon had escaped.

I, for one, do not think that is the truth. I, as a conservative, love public education and believe very deeply in the value of the mission and the professionals who strive to carry it out. I also believe that the liberal monopoly on education policy and lead-ership for many years created a vacuum of accountability and competitiveness, which ultimately led to high-stakes testing and charter schools and the whole reform movement.

In other words, I think conservative voices have a valuable place in education policy-making, and I am glad that they have gotten in the game in the last 20 years.

But there’s a good way to do things, and a bad way to do things. Cindy Stevenson

announced her retirement from Jeffco shortly after this conservative board was elected, so we’ve all known for some time that she was leaving. After more than 30 years of service to the district, regard-less of your opinion of her, it would seem good form dictates that leadership honor that service and, at least publicly, show respect for someone who has been at the helm through some tumultuous times. Instead, it is widely known that the board leaned on her and made it diffi cult to do her job. So when the board announced at the end of the regular Thursday meeting that they would be holding an unusual Saturday meeting to discuss personnel matters regarding the superintendent, many people, including me, assumed that meant the board was going to dismiss Stevenson early. Whatever the truth of that assumption, she rendered the point moot by announcing at the beginning of the meeting that she would be leaving by the end of February.

The news headlines have been harsh: Superintendent forced out, announces resignation. And it’s that “forced” part that I have a hard time with. You can say this was what you were elected to do, and you

can say that change is going to happen sooner rather than later. But I cannot grasp any substantive good that can come out of forcing this decision early; I don’t see how it makes the district stronger, or the students smarter, by leaving the district without a leader while searching for her replacement. At the very least, I fail to see how disrespecting and dismiss-ing a person who has spent more than 30 years of her life dedicated to serving the students of this district makes the district better, or enhances the credibility of the new Board of Education.

It lacked style, and that will get in the way of substance going forward. If you’re trying to convince people that you are, in fact, NOT Darth Vader, you probably shouldn’t Force-choke to death the fi rst person who disagrees with you.

Absent fathers and ladies of a feather ‘Parallel Lives’ at Miners Alley Playhouse

Lisa DeCaro and Gail Montgomery star in the fast-paced comedy “Parallel Lives” at Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden run-ning through Mar. 9. They also starred in the 2011 Evergreen Players’ production of “Parallel Lives” that took top honors at a Regional Theater Festival; went on to the National Festival in New York; and then played for the US Armed Forces in Heidel-berg, Germany.

Throughout the course of the play, the two women portray 36 different characters ... very different characters beginning with two heavenly beings complete with robes and wings. Characters range from teenag-ers to a man and woman at a country bar (my personal favorite – listen for “you’re lookin’ varrry, varrry prettyyy). Though some of the vignettes could have benefi t-ted from a little trimming, it was a most enjoyable evening. It’s clear that DeCaro and Montgomery have been to this rodeo before and won the blue ribbon.

‘Hamlet’ in The Stage Theatre at DCPAThough I’ve seen several versions of

William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” never be-fore have I had such a visceral connection to this splendid play. The Denver Center

Theatre Company production under the direction of Kent Thompson brought suspense, laughter, and even tears. The actors’ diction was pure and clear and allowed me to have a new appreciation for The Bard’s brilliant use of the English lan-guage. I was mesmerized by the nuances the players brought to the awe-inspiring dialogue.

Though fi rst performed in 1600-02, this interpretation is set right before the start of World War I. Corruption runs rampant in the court since the murder of Hamlet’s father. Soon after his father’s death, his mother marries his uncle who is suspect-ed of killing Hamlet’s father. As the prince of Denmark tried to avenge his father’s death things begin to unravel. “Hamlet” runs through Feb. 23 and is, in a word, superb.

PHAMALY returns to Arvada CenterPhamaly Theatre Company is bringing

its production of Tennessee Williams’ clas-sic tragedy “The Glass Menagerie” to the Arvada Center Feb. 21-23. The company is unique in that everyone in the cast has a disability whether physical, cognitive or emotional. Phamaly is in its 25th season.

The story is set during the Depression. Amanda, (Ashley Kelashian) an aging Southern Belle devises schemes to fi nd a husband for her disabled daughter Laura (Jenna Bainbridge). Her son Tom (Daniel Traylor) is the story’s narrator. Complicat-

ing matters is a gentleman caller (Eric Richerson).

If you haven’t yet had the privilege of seeing a Phamaly production, please avail yourself of this opportunity. These are highly talented actors who can hold their own on any stage. The company also pro-duces a full-scale musical every year. For tickets and information call 720-898-7200 or www.phamaly.org.

JEFFCO BOARD OF EDUCATION ON THE RECORD

The Jeffco Board of Education dis-cussed the following legislation during a regular business meeting, Feb. 6. Board members in attendance were President Ken Witt, Vice President Julie Williams, Vice President Lesley Dahlkemper, Secre-tary John Newkirk, Treasurer Jill Fellman and Superintendent Cindy Stevenson.

Compensation RedesignThe board heard an update from a task

force made up of district leaders, school leaders, teachers and district staff regard-ing the proposed compensation redesign

for Jeffco teachers and licensed profes-sionals.

The plan outlined a new, lateral pro-gram in which new hires and newly-hired employees have the option to be a part of either a bachelor’s or master’s degree salary track. These tracks offer incentives for extra participation and continual pro-fessional development courses, moving individuals up the pay scale.

The board accepted the task force’s presentation and gave their thoughts on the matter.

They will seek to discuss the budget

further and come back to the force with further recommendations.

TS GoldThe board approved in a 3-2 vote, with

Fellman and Dahlkemper opposing, to keep using Teaching Solutions Gold (TS Gold) in preschool but send a waiver to the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) seeking to bypass the assessment requirements.

According to the CDE, the district must use either TS Gold or HighScope COR as early childhood assessment tools. By not

using either program, the district will not be eligible to participate in the Colorado Preschool Program, losing $5.4 million and 3,014 preschool students.

Legislative Platform RevisionsThe board discussed its support of sev-

eral house bills regarding charter school equity, early childhood assessment readi-ness, and Common Core implementation currently at the state Legislature and made revisions in language to its legislative platform.

Assessment program’s continuation uncertain Board seeks to remove childhood assessment waiver from state By Crystal Andersoncanderson@ coloradocommunitymedia.com

Jefferson County Board of Education

voted to continue the use of Teaching Strategies Gold (TS Gold) for students in the Colorado Preschool Program (CPP) while simultaneously seeking a waiver to escape requirements set forth by the Colo-rado Department of Education (CDE).

The 3-2 decision, with Fellman and Dahlkemper voting against, came after several groups and Superintendent Cindy Stevenson spoke on both sides of the topic and the facts surrounding the possible approval or denial of the assessment pro-gram.

“Continuity in instruction is very im-portant,” Stevenson said.

According to the CDE, the district must

use either TS Gold or HighScope COR as early childhood assessment programs, measuring the growth of each child. These programs measure 38 objectives in 10 cat-egories. Through this program, students’ skills in social-emotional, language, cog-nitive, physical, science and technology, social studies, arts, English language ac-quisition, mathematics and literacy are measured through observation, data, and electronic tools.

Newkirk specifi cally criticized the use of computer tablets for student observation as “a high-tech barrier between the teacher and student”

“We’ve also heard testimony that our parents feel teachers should be spending more time teaching children and develop-ing relationship with them and less time conducting behavioral assessments and uploading videos of their children to a da-tabase, lawsuits ... ,” said Newkirk, who was in support of the motion.

During the Feb. 6 meeting, parents spoke both in support and opposition of the program, citing the program’s high-lights in assessment for students.

“Thanks to conferences and conversa-tions utilizing TS Gold, I am partnering with (my daughter’s) teachers to move her forward as both a learner and as a whole person,” said Jen Granberry, a Jeffco parent and supporter of TS Gold. “The feedback is individualized, specifi c, academic and de-velopmentally age-appropriate.”

But for several parents at the meeting, like Sunny Flynn, while assessing children based on these measures, the tactics used to measure the TS Gold objectives were lacking in security, and they asked the board to ensure stronger privacy protec-tion policies.

“I urge the board to recognize that Jef-ferson County needs foundational privacy policies in place to protect student data fi rst before you proceed with any more data collection or data linking,” Flynn said.

If the district chooses to not utilize ei-ther program, Jeffco will lose $5.4 million it receives from the Colorado Preschool Program (CPP) for the 2014-15 school year, and would not be eligible to participate in the CPP.

“I have to inform you that if there were

no approved assessments provided to your preschool students, we would have no choice but to withhold funds in accor-dance with statute,” said Colorado com-missioner of education Robert Hammond in an email to the superintendent. “It is a requirement of outcome reporting for CPP and Special Education.”

For the board, fearing TS Gold might have greater security issues than the re-cently-dropped inBloom program, they opted to continue usage of the assessment in preschools while petitioning the state to use a non-recommended program with better security.

“We need to have our own standard of privacy, and that agreement should be used across the board for everything we do,” Williams said. “I think a development of that type of agreement would certainly ease the minds of many parents.”

The board will seek the waiver, and should they be denied, will revisit the issue of continuing usage of TS Gold or switch-ing to the HighScope COR assessment.

All meetings will take place the fi rst week of March, in the library of participat-ing high schools.

For more information and a full sched-ule of meetings visit, www.jeffcopublic-schools.org

National Signing DayOn Feb. 5, dozens of high school

student-athletes across Jeffco signed con-tracts and agreements with colleges and universities across the country.

These students will continue their athletic careers participating in their respective sports at a collegiate level. From now until the end of the year, high school athletes will continue to sign agreements, extending their sports careers and ex-panding their education.

EDUCATION NEWS IN A HURRY

Tribal lands fraught with injustice Report � nds inequities in criminal justice applied to American Indians By Jim Trotter I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS

A 1938 law sweeps American Indian and Alaska native youths into the federal crimi-nal justice system when they commit any-thing beyond misdemeanor crimes.

Although American Indians comprise little more than 1 percent of the nation’s population, one 10-year study found that at any given time, 43 percent to 60 percent of juveniles held in federal custody were American Indian, a wildly disproportion-ate number.

Once there, they serve sentences far longer than other juveniles sentenced lo-cally for similar offenses.

These are among the fi ndings of the fi nal report from the national Indian Law and Order Commission, chaired by for-mer U.S. Attorney Troy Eid of Denver. The “Roadmap for Making Native America Safer” turns particularly urgent in its call to reform juvenile justice in Indian country.

Constantly exposed to poverty, addic-tions and all manners of violence from do-mestic assault to suicide to murder, Native youth experience post-traumatic distress disorder at a rate of 22 percent, equivalent to that among American troops return-ing from war, the report shows. Juveniles caught up in the federal system effectively “go missing” from their tribes.

“Juvenile justice for Native kids has not changed since the 1930s,” Eid said in an interview with I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS. “They’re automatically transferred into federal jurisdiction. It’s just extraordi-nary no one has reassessed that. There isn’t juvenile justice within the Bureau of Pris-ons. It doesn’t exist there. There’s no diver-sion, no drug courts, no education. There are no books, no programs to reintegrate into society, nothing. It’s really very sad.

“And it doesn’t square with our Consti-tution,” Eid said.

‘A terrible price’The new report is blunt in its assess-

ment of criminal justice in Indian country, and of the risks posed for public safety.

The system “extracts a terrible price: limited law enforcement; delayed pros-ecutions, too few prosecutions, and other prosecution ineffi ciencies; trials in distant courthouses; justice systems and players unfamiliar with or hostile to Indians and Tribes; and the exploitation of system fail-ures by criminals, more criminal activity, and further endangerment of everyone liv-ing in and near Tribal communities.”

The commission, created by the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010, offers some 40 recommendations for change that would impact and require reorganization in all three branches of the federal government, reallocate millions of dollars, require new spending, and build new criminal jus-tice infrastructure from the ground up on many tribal lands across the U.S.

The report challenges the status quo of entrenched bureaucracies, federal and state, at every turn, describing their work as “an indefensible maze of complex, con-fl icting and illogical commands, layered in over decades via congressional policies and court decisions, and without the con-sent of tribal nations.”

Unlike the U.S. at large, where serious local crimes are investigated and prosecut-ed by local authorities, all serious crimes on reservations or other tribal lands are federal crimes, subject to federal prosecu-tion, a provision of law that dates back to 1885. (Under a separate law, a handful of states have the authority). Tribal courts are limited to misdemeanor sentences with a maximum of three years.

At the heart of the commission’s far-reaching document is the premise of re-storing local crimes to local jurisdictions, where they would be investigated by tribal police and tried in tribal courts, with all U.S. constitutional protections for defen-dants. Native youth offenders would be adjudicated locally, as are juveniles every-where else.

The commission’s nine members, Re-

publican and Democrats, were appointed by President Obama and the majority and minority leaders of both houses of Con-gress. They worked as volunteers, had no offi ces, and spent most of their signifi cant time in the fi eld. Their recommendations are unanimous.

“We realized that if we’re going to make an impact, we’d have to be honest in ad-dressing the problems as we found them,” said Eid, a Republican who was named Colorado U.S. attorney by President George W. Bush. He is now a partner with the Greenberg Traurig law fi rm in Denver. “We had the opportunity and we wanted to make the most of it.”

Falling through the cracksThe current system is rife with funda-

mental inequities, the commission found, including, perhaps foremost, simple ac-cess to justice.

Federal offi cers charged with investi-gating serious Indian country crime, FBI agents or Bureau of Indian Affairs police, can be located hundreds of miles away from distant crime scenes. The federal courthouses and prosecutors are almost always hundreds of miles away.

This places enormous logistical bur-dens on successful prosecution, including every facet from crime scene preservation and evidence gathering on the front end to getting witnesses to the courthouse for trial.

Federal prosecutors declined to pros-ecute half the Indian country cases that came before them, according to a General Accounting Offi ce study of 9,000 cases re-ported by federal law offi cers from 2005-09. And while the declination rate is said to have improved since the advent of the Tribal Law and Order Act, no one disputes that many people suspected of violent crimes are walking free in Indian country.

“Too many crimes have fallen through the cracks of this ‘jurisdictional maze,’ ” said Jill Engel, former chief prosecutor for the Hopi Tribe in Northern Arizona and now with the El Paso County District Attor-ney’s Offi ce in Colorado Springs, in an in-terview with I-News. “This leaves danger-ous criminals within the community with the opportunity to fi nd new victims.”

Much of the report speaks to the need of upgrading criminal justice in Indian coun-try, where police are often undermanned, underequipped, undertrained and often have no access to information sharing or routine crime data that most any other lo-cal jurisdiction would take for granted.

But the very fi rst recommendation asks Congress to clarify that any tribe that so chooses can “opt out immediately” of fed-eral jurisdiction over local crimes commit-ted on their lands. The provision would also create the United States Court of In-dian Appeals, which would function as any other federal appellate court. Sentencing restrictions on tribal courts would be lifted.

Some tribes, including 30 that have been working in a Department of Justice pilot program, are better equipped than others to take on expanded jurisdiction.

“This requires resources to support hav-ing law trained judges and public defend-ers,” said Engel. “Isolation of geographic areas and limited fi nancial resources could affect the ability of a tribe to succeed in ex-ercising full jurisdiction.”

The commission devotes its second chapter to Alaska, which, alone among the states, was exempted from the provisions of the Tribal Law and Order Act as well as the Violence Against Women Reauthoriza-tion Act of 2013. Although Alaska has 229

of the nation’s federally recognized 566 tribes, the state established a system of Na-tive corporations to own villages and other lands, as opposed to federally recognized Indian reservations or nations.

Serious crimes are investigated by Alas-ka state police, who are often located at great distances from the far-fl ung native villages that in many cases aren’t connect-ed by road, particularly in winter.

“Problems with safety in tribal commu-nities are severe across the United States,” the report states, “but they are systemati-cally the worst in Alaska.”

When the commission paid a site visit to the community of Galena, one resident told members, “Every woman you’ve met today has been raped. All of us. I know they won’t believe that in the lower 48, and the state will deny it, but it’s true.”

What next?The report is multifaceted in tackling

deeply complex issues. Is there any chance that its major recommendations will be embraced by Congress, by the White House, by the federal court system?

Eid thinks so.“The White House asked for more spe-

cifi c details about how the recommenda-tions could be implemented,” he said. “They’re trying to understand and have been very gracious. I know people say Con-gress is broken or this or that. But I don’t believe we can’t get this done.”

Said prosecutor Engel, “Indian reserva-tions should not be a safe haven for crimi-nals. This dedication to telling the story in a truthful, unapologetic way will lead to positive changes.”

Eid praised the shared vision of his fel-low commissioners.

“We are going to tell it like it is and we’ll push for the rest of our careers to have the roadmap enacted.

IF YOU GOWHAT: “Unraveled - Fiber Re-imagined”WHERE: 40 West Arts gallery1560 Teller St., LakewoodWHEN: Through Feb. 27Tuesday through Friday - 1 to 4 p.m.Saturday - noon to 4 p.m.COST: FreeINFORMATION: www.40westarts.org

By Clarke Readercreader@

The world of fiber art is one that stretches back as far as antiquity, yet is still evolving and changing.

The 40 West Arts Dis-trict’s latest show, “Unrav-eled — Fiber Re-imagined” celebrates the art form and all its history and evolution.

The show will be up at the district’s gallery, 1560 Teller, until Feb. 27. The gallery is open Tuesday through Friday from 1 to 4 p.m. and Saturday from

noon to 4 p.m.“We’re looking to

do more edgy shows in 2014 and thought what can we do with a fiber show,” said

Bill Marino, ex-ecutive director of the Lakewood-West Colfax Business Improvement District. “There’s a niche out here for this kind of art it is some-thing we’ve never done before.”

Like all of 40 West’s shows, the idea came about from the district’s exhibition committee, which

is made up of 40 West members and artists who want to participate and help shape the direc-tion the district explores.

“We were brainstorming potential shows and the goal was to come up with at least two to three shows that are in the doing something cutting edge and fiber is something I sub-mitted,” said Richard Eversley, who curated the show and worked with the jurors to develop the vision. “I thought this is a group of artists that are a bit

underserved and could use the space.”According to Julie Byerlein, a member

of the board for the district and a volun-teer with its champion group, the show features submissions from artists from all over the country, thanks to 40 West’s ef-forts in reaching out to a diverse range of

colleges and art schools.

Colorado State Uni-versity has a famous fiber arts show ev-ery year that is currently on display, and the hope is “Un-raveled” will benefit from the attention and artists participating in that show.

“We have 26 pieces on display and are fortunate enough to have work from schools all over the country,” Byerlein said. “We want to engage everyone and to that end we have a wide range of works in the show.”

To tap into the variety of works available, the show includes the use of textiles, string, yarn, wire, and a broad spectrum of recycled materials. There are also a variety of textile techniques used by artists — from woven, knitted and cro-cheted metal to handmade paper, beads, embroidery and quilting.

The show is juried by Wendy Franzen and Sara Rockinger, both of whom are well known in the fiber arts community.

“As the curator you’re kind of like a neutral person, helping the artists with questions and logistics while making the decisions on space and installation,” Eversley said.

According to Eversley, there are a lot of things to be excited about in regards to the show, not the least of which is the fact

lasted less than 20 minutes, audience members shouted questions about the board’s transparency, expressed adoration for Stevenson and eventu-ally chanted to recall Witt, Williams and Newkirk.

Due to the crowd at district head-quarters, the meeting was quickly relocated to the large meeting room before it began.

“It makes me sick to my stomach that we’re losing such a quality leader in the middle of the school year, who already, graciously resigned her posi-tion in June,” said Karstin Sutton, an English teacher at Lakewood High School.

Following Stevenson’s announce-ment, the board attempted to re-

sume its scheduled agenda regarding the district budget, but the audience wouldn’t quiet down. Stevenson ad-dressed the audience, and prior to switching topics, board members Lesley Dahlkemper and Jill Fellman expressed concerns about the work-ings of the new board.

“We just found out about this information this morning,” said Dahlkemper. “This is what becomes the headline, and it’s not about the kids, it’s not about our promises as a board or our student achievement, it’s not about ensuring we have a strong, effective leader in place, it’s about backroom discussions.”

Witt asked for a recess, and the three newly elected members ap-peared ready to walk out, but hesi-tated and, after conferring with legal counsel and security, Witt adjourned the meeting. He immediately left the building with Newkirk.

While they packed up, the crowd

shouted “Recall, recall, recall,” and “We love you, Cindy.”

Williams attempted to console a tearful Stevenson prior to leaving.

Witt, Newkirk and Williams were not available for comment after the meeting.

“I think it’s political, and he (Witt) wants control of the district, and she (Stevenson) pushes back on it,” Fell-man said. “I am a big supporter of Dr. Stevenson. She’s led our district to some great places, and we’re leading the pack, and she led us there.”

Stevenson, who has had a long career in Jeffco Schools, including 12 years as superintendent, will be on administrative leave until the details of her termination are finalized.

“Please remember, we have a tra-dition of excellence, and we need to sustain that over the next couple of weeks,” Stevenson said. “It’s not go-ing to be easy, but together we can do it.”

makes me very proud to be here and know that our community and our schools work together for the good of our kids.”

Other county schools like Red Rocks Community College received grants for scholarships for two Gold-en students.

“Golden Civic Foundation isn’t just renowned in Golden and thought of so highly here,” said Ron Slinger, executive director for the Red Rocks Community College Foundation.

The City of Arvada started its own civic foundation known as the Arvada Vitality Alliance.

“So you’re inspiring not just Gold-en but other communities that copy the great work you’re doing and I think that’s quite a legacy,” he said.

GCF also supported Golden’s trea-sured outdoor recreation activities by providing grants to the Colorado Trail Foundation and the Bicycle Rac-ing Association of Colorado as well as supporting local enforcement agen-cies such as the Golden Police and Fire departments.

“We’ve been very fortunate and gosh, I don’t remember a year we didn’t get a grant from them of some type,” said Chief John Bales at the Golden Fire department. “We’ve bought things like personal protective equipment … it’s usually equipment we need on the truck.” This year, the Golden fire department will purchase

new helmets.Since the foundation’s start in 1970

more than $2.5 million has been do-nated to Golden’s civic, cultural and charitable organizations. GCF has also played major roles in downtown development projects including the purchasing of the Holland House now known as Table Mountain Inn and the purchasing of the former Golden Senior High and Junior High School. That property was later sold to the American Alpine Club and Colora-do Mountain Club who formed the American Mountaineering Center.

The annual civic foundation dinner and auction will start again this year on Saturday, Nov. 15. To learn more about the Golden Civic Foundation go to www.goldencivicfoundation.org.

National Letter of Intent Day hits Je� co Students continuing athletic careers all over the country By Daniel Williams dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia.com

National Letter of Intent Day was on Wednesday in Colorado and around the nation as prep athletes sign letters of in-tent to continue their athletic careers col-legiately.

Student athletes from all over Jeffco were honored at their schools displaying the hats and sweaters of the schools they will go on to represent.

From Notre Dame to Northern Colora-do, Jeffco again showed why they are one of the best leagues and districts in Colo-rado as literally dozens of students have been offered scholarships to pursue their athletic and academic dreams.

Student athletes who played football, soccer, fi eld hockey, track and fi eld, cross country and men’s water polo were al-lowed to offi cially commit Wednesday.

Below is a partial list of student athletes who have committed.

Evergreen, RV best in Jeffco league meetSwimmers from all over league compete in season end meetBy Daniel Williamsdwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia.com

ARVADA - Evergreen proved again they are Jeffco’s best, winning the season’s end Jeffco League meet Saturday at Meyer’s Pool.

With a team score of 603 the Cou-gars won the meet as not only 4A Jeffco’s best team, but also better than 5A Jeffco’s Ralston Valley who finished second as a team with 429 points.

D’Evelyn finished third as a team with 425 points, Chatfield finished fourth with 402 points and Lakewood finished fifth with 376 points.

In addition, Golden finished in sixth place with 258 teams points and Wheat Ridge finished in ninth place with 221 points.

The Mustangs stole the show winning six of 12 events including the 200 Medley Relay and the 400 Free Relay.

Individually Ralston Valley had three swimmers win four events as Madeline Myers won both the 200 Individual Medley 2:03.37 and the 500 Free 5:00.23.

Also, Erin Metzger-Seymour won the 200 Free in 1:51.28 and Mackenzie Atencio won the 100 Breast in 1:05.53.

Arvada West’s Morgan McCormack won the 100 Back in 0:56.20 and her Wildcats’ teammates finished in 11th place with a team score of 166.

Pomona’s Zarena Brown won the 100 Free in 0:52.90 and the Panthers’ finished with 155 team points good for 13th place.

Brenna Bushey won the 100 Fly for D’Evelyn with a time of 0:56.37 and Lake-wood’s Meghan Lahr won the 50 Free in 0:24.81.

Rams too tough for Golden down the stretchGreen Mountain eyes league title, has big game aheadBy Daniel Williamsdwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia.com

LAKEWOOD - After a blowout victory Golden girls basketball got cooled off by Green Mountain in a 67-46 loss Friday at Green Mountain School.

What was an exciting game for three quarters turned into an ugly loss after the Rams went on a 22-4 run to finish out the game.

The Demons looked like they were on their way to a marquee victory but three different Green Mountain players had big scoring efforts to bury Golden down the stretch. Senior Kelli Vantassel had a huge night scoring 23 points and recording 15 rebounds for the Rams. While fresh-man Delaney Bernard scored 22 points and sophomore Hannah Hank scored 13 points.

The victory for the Rams keeps them on

pace for a 4A Jeffco league title as they re-main tied with D’Evelyn with a 9-1 league record.

“We have had a good season and we

are happy with the position that we have put ourselves in,” Green Mountain coach Rudy Martin said. “These games down the stretch are going to be very meaningful.”

The loss for the Demons cools off what was their best stretch of the season, win-ning four of their last five games.

“We have to be better at closing out games,” Golden coach Shea Scarlett said last week. “We are still learning how to do that.”

On Tuesday night the Demons got a 61-15 win Tuesday at Alameda High School. In that contest Golden got off to a 20-2 start and cruised to the victory.

The Demons (10-9, 6-4 in 4A Jeffco) are in fourth place in their league standing but still have a chance to finish in the top three. They will host Evergreen Thursday at 5:30. Evergreen sits just above the Demons in the league standings.

Green Mountain (16-3, 9-1 in 4A Jeffco) has been one of the great surprises in Jef-fco basketball this season. The Rams were expected to be a good team but they have become elite and actually have one less to-tal loss than No. 8 D’Evelyn.

Green Mountain has a very good oppor-tunity to become a top ten team this week. They will host D’Evelyn in a game that looks as though it will be for a 4A Jeffco title Thursday at 7 p.m.

Annual basketball day gives players a chance to test their mettleBy Clarke Readercreader@ coloradocommunitymedia.com

Everyone plays and everyone wins.That’s the philosophy behind the gathering of unified

basketball teams from all over Jefferson County at Lake-wood High School on Jan. 28, who all had a chance to hit the court and play each other in a day of fun.

Lakewood has hosted the basketball event — just one of several seasonal sporting events throughout the year — for unified teams for the past several years, and it is always a packed event.

Unified teams are made up of students with develop-mental disabilities and student mentors who help them out.

“The program has been very successful here for us — we have 17 schools here today, making it bigger and better than it has been in the past years,” Laura Zlogar, physical education teacher and coach at Lakewood High School said. “We start planning this in the beginning of the school year.”

Teams from Arvada West, Arvada High School, Wheat Ridge middle and high school, Golden High School and several others all took turns playing each other in 10 min-ute matches.

Just like the basketball games the junior varsity and var-sity teams play, the band and cheerleaders were on hand to give the students participating the complete experience.

“This is a perfect example of how we honor all chil-dren. When students get to be part of the school, they love that connection,” Jeffco School Board member Jill Fell-man said. “It’s great for all who participate — the athletes, cheerleaders and band.”

Coaches Aid, an amateur sports broadcasting network was also on hand to film the games and conduct inter-views with participants. The games were viewable online and on televisions throughout the school.

That mutual benefit is easy to see by the smiles, cheers and laughter during the game.

“I started working with kids with disabilities at my church and started looking for programs where I could keep doing it,” Olivia Ueda, a senior at Lakewood said. “It’s great seeing the athletes excel beyond what they thought they could. It’s great to see how proud of themselves they are — it’s very inspiring.”

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF FEb 10, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Doing something nice for others is typical of the generous Arian. but be pre-pared for some jealous types who might try to ques-tion one of your more recent acts of kindness.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) You’re eager to take on new responsibilities. but before you do, you might want to check out exactly what would be required of you so that you don’t face any “surprises” later.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) It might be best to put off an important decision until a fluctuating situation becomes more stable. Recently received news could help resolve a long-standing family matter.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) If you still have a prob-lem getting that information gap closed, you might consider asking a higher authority to resolve the mat-ter, leaving you free to move on to another project.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) A family matter needs to be dealt with at the start of the week. Once it’s resolved, the big Cat can devote more attention to that new op-portunity that seems to hold so much potential.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Pay attention to those niggling doubts. They could be warning you not to make any major decisions until you’ve checked them out -- especially where money matters might be in-volved.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A business venture might need more of your attention than you are able to pro-vide. Consider asking a trusted friend or family mem-ber to help you work through this time crunch.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A more-positive as-pect helps you get a clearer focus on how to handle your time so that you can deal with several responsi-bilities that are just now showing up on your schedule.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A very close friend (you know who that is!) has advice that could help you work through a confusing situation. So put your pride aside and ask for it. You’ll be glad you did.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A workplace situa-tion could turn a bit tense. The best way to handle it is to confront it and deal with it openly. Doing so can help reveal the underlying reasons for the problem.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A colleague’s re-marks appear to be especially cutting. but don’t waste your time or your energy trying to deal with the situa-tion. You have more important things to do.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Support for your work comes as a surprise from someone you thought was critical or, at least, indifferent. Your spouse or partner has big plans for the weekend.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your spiritual strength often acts as an inspiration to help others make decisions about their lives.
