ace to the airCounty plays defenseJeffco DA Weir requests added securityBy Glenn [email protected]

First Judicial District Attorney Pete Weir asked the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners for its support in improv-ing security for his staff at a briefing last week.

“We’re in a dangerous business,” Weir said, adding the threat seemed real enough, and close enough that there was little time to waste.

He specifically cited the shooting death of Tom Clements, executive director of Colorado’s Department of Corrections, on March 19. Weir called Clements a respect-ed colleague and a close personal friend.

The suspect in that shooting was a pa-rolee, Evan Spencer Ebel, 28, who was lat-er killed in a car chase and gun fight with law enforcement in Texas.

“Mr. Ebel was prosecuted by my office. It was a Jefferson County Court that first put him away,” Weir said.

Ebel’s long rap sheet has its start in Lakewood in 2003 with armed robbery and felony menacing according to court records. His more recent crimes have a Jeffco connection as well. In a grassy field that offers a decent view of the Jeffer-son County Courthouse, just a five-min-ute drive away, Ebel is believed to have dumped his murder victim Nathan Collin Leon on March 17. Two days later, Ebel is also suspected of having shot and killed Clements at his Monument home.

Investigators are still looking into whether the killing of Clements was an ordered assassination, or if Ebel was act-ing alone. Ebel was on parole at the time of the killings, and had spent the last few years in the Colorado prison system, where he became associated with the vio-lent 211 white supremacist gang.

The possible assassinations of a district attorney and an assistant district attorney in Texas have at least raised the possibil-ity that prison gangs have chosen to target members of the justice system who helped put them behind bars, or help keep them there.

“The problem is these dangerous folks also have dangerous associates, who are not in custody,” Weir said.

Weir added that local law enforcement agencies have begun making extra patrols around the houses of some of staff resi-dences.

Among Weir’s suggestions: Designated parking near a secure “County Employee’s Only” entrance, a secure shuttle bus ser-vice for DA staff, added video surveillance of the county courthouse grounds. Weir said a few other security ideas were being discussed with county staff, but would re-quire time and money to be planned and implemented.

The county sheriff’s department, which is responsible for courthouse se-curity, is aware of the situation and has taken some steps to improve security, de-partment Public Information Officer Jacki Kelley said.

“They’re security measures, so we keep them pretty close to the vest,” Kelley said.

Rolling it out

Celebrations prepared along the W Rail lineBy Clarke [email protected]

The W Rail has been a long time com-ing, and after its opening on Friday, April 26, Lakewood will be ready to

party.On Saturday, April 27, there will be

events going on at almost all the stations along the line to celebrate the line. Just like the actual W Rail, these events have been a long time coming.

Each station has a unique theme or idea they will be showcasing.

According to Rachel Griffin, economic development specialist with the city of Lakewood, RTD gave the city the opening date last summer, and in January of this year, planning began for the events at the station.

“The city has served more of a facilita-tion and coordination role,” Griffin said. “We reached out to people we knew would be interested, and it kind of grew from there.”

Griffin said that each station appointed a “station champion” who would run the event, and if they had any questions or problems, they would contact Lakewood and the city would get in touch with RTD. This was done to keep the lines of commu-nication clear.

One of those station champions is Cyn-thia Vitale, who has been organizing events for the Sheridan Station. The theme of the station’s event is Working Together: Denver, Lakewood and Edgewater.

“I live very close to the station, and RTD employees had the chance to ride the rail on April 6. The Lakewood-Wadsworth station is the Lakewood’s signa-ture station, and will be the site of one of the biggest events. Clarke Reader W Rail continues on Page 5

titled “Legislative looks ahead at school fi nance” which ran on April 11, there are a few corrections:

Senate Bill 213 would add $661 per student, not $60; it is the Jeffco School Board that hasn’t taken an offi cial posi-tion on the bill, not the school district;

Sign language speaks of community Nadelle Payne, a high school teacher of

American Sign Language, can go all day without talking to someone other than her students.

She is deaf.“I can pass people in the hall and say

`Hi,’” she says through an interpreter. “But not a conversation.”

So, on a recent Saturday, she and about 25 other deaf women and men, including high school and college students studying ASL, gathered at a Starbucks in Highlands Ranch to talk.

The conversations — lively, graceful, expressive — continued for hours.

Fingers moved swiftly.Arms glided, up and down, back and

forth.Emotion danced across animated

faces.All of it, together, words without sound

spinning eloquent stories, woven in a warmth born of shared community.

“To immerse ourselves in our own lan-guage” is a gift, a reprieve from the isola-tion that comes with being deaf, Payne says. “Hearing people can talk every day, on the phone … all the time. We talk when we have someone to sign with.”

The monthly Starbucks gathering is one of many in the area designed to nur-ture connection and fellowship among a populace defi ned by its unique commu-nication and culture.

There are deaf social chats at res-taurants in Boulder and Castle Rock, silent bowling nights at an alley in Lone Tree, festivals and ASL performances at Rocky Mountain School for the Deaf in Lakewood, an ASL haunted house night during Halloween, a deaf social chat in Superior, a meeting for deaf senior citi-zens in Denver.

“It is like you are going to deaf Mecca where there are all deaf native signers,” says Michelle Stricklen, an ASL instructor at Front Range Community College who is deaf.

“It is,” she says in an email, “phenom-

enal to me.”Pam Meadows, a Castle Rock resident

and California transplant who has been deaf since birth, started the monthly socials at the Highlands Ranch Starbucks about 2½ years ago.

“We come here to socialize,” she says through her friend Dawn Davies, a Littleton schools counselor who is not deaf and is interpreting. “But it also helps ASL students so they can experience what deaf people are like.”

Davies, who began learning to sign in fi rst grade, attends many of these events to visit with friends. But as a school coun-selor she also helps introduce fi rst-timers, particularly students, to the group. “I like to help bridge the gap a little bit.”

A handful of high school students from Castle Rock and Highlands Ranch are here this day. It is their second visit. They come to practice signing, but they’ve picked up on some other aspects of deaf culture, too.

“They’re really close,” Shawna Dough-ten says.

“You can talk across the room,” Makayla Elms says with a smile.

“They’re not different,” Paige Luke says. “Other people think they’re handi-capped, but they’re not.”

The three teens, along with Kayla Hen-drickson from Castle Rock, have fallen in love with the language.

“It’s just so expressive,” Hendrickson says. “I love how it’s really metaphoric … how you can kind of get creative with it.”

“When you’re describing stuff, you’re supposed to try to create a picture,” Elms says.

“You use a lot of motion,” Luke says.The language is actually more straight-

forward, points out Jazelle Edwards, 9, here with her mother, who is deaf. She is not, though. “You don’t have to say the little words,” such as “and” and “the.”

“Sign language is so much fun to talk,” says Clay Amos, who with his fi ancee Ivy Oswald recently moved from Pennsylva-nia. They’ve come to meet new people. Although both are deaf, Amos can lip read and speak; Oswald has a cochlear implant, which allows her to hear, and she can speak.

“It’s feelings,” Amos says about sign-ing. “It makes you laugh.”

“It is,” Oswald says with a smile, “the-atrical.”

And just like a spoken language, it has tones and accents, the students say. “People have tones with their voice,” Hendrickson says. “You kind of have a tone of your sign. Everyone signs differ-ently.”

George Veditz, former president of the National Association of the Deaf, said this about sign language in 1913: “It is my hope that we will all love and guard our beautiful sign language as the noblest gift God has given to deaf people.”

And it is beautiful. To watch people sign is to watch stories unfold like the lyrical melody of a song. You can sense the happiness, the sadness, the excite-ment, the disappointment — even when you don’t know what the signs mean.

But that inability to understand often creates discomfort among those who can’t communicate back, similar to being in a country whose language is not your own.

“Many people are intimidated by us,” Payne acknowledges. “It takes a lot of ef-fort for hearing people to communicate” with those who can’t hear.

Stricklen tells the story of asking a

fl ight attendant for a menu and being given one in Braille. “I told her, `No, I just need regular.’ Am I blind?”

At the other end of the spectrum, Payne says, “we are afraid we will be mis-understood.”

The key, as with anyone who doesn’t know your language, is to try.

“We like having friends,” Payne says. “We like it when people make an effort to try and communicate.”

On this day, around the tables in the coffee shop, the barriers are down.

Two women stand by the door, lost in conversation, eyes focused on each other’s signs. Next to them, Makayla Elms and Paige Luke are signing with little Jazelle and her older brother.

Nearby, Payne, Davies and Meadows are in deep conversation with a group clustered in chairs. And at the tall table across the way is Oswald, hands moving, fi ngers working, animated as she and Amos sign with new friends.

A peacefulness of sorts quietly con-nects them all.

They are, in a sense, home.Watch, and listen carefully. The silence

speaks loudly.

Getting in a healthy way Boys & Girls Club host health fair By Clarke Reader [email protected]

The Jefferson County Branch of the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Denver cel-ebrated Boys & Girls Club week on April 6 with a health fair and visit from Lake-wood’s mayor.

The club, housed at O’Connell Middle School, sees more than 100 children and students a day, and is one of the newer club sites — it will be three years old in August.

“Each club in the Den-ver area is doing their own events to celebrate this week,” said Laura Graham, marketing and communi-cations coordinator with the club. “Here there are so many amazing relationships with the local fi refi ghters and police offi cers.”

On hand to celebrate

were many of the people and groups that helped get the club off the ground, in-cluding mayor Bob Murphy, Ward 3 councilwoman Sue King, the Lakewood Police and West Metro Fire Depart-ments, and Leslie Dahlkem-per, president of the Jeffco School Board.

Graham said that helping the students lead healthier lifestyles is a key aspect of the work the Boys & Girls Club does, and that is why the club had a health fair for its celebration.

“We’ve got all kinds of stations set up, from dental health to internal health,” she said.

“There are kids coming to us without any nutritional information, and so we’ve got a huge push towards healthy living. They’re re-ceiving access to foods like broccoli and squash that they haven’t had before.”

The O’Connell location already has a community garden that members tend, and use the food they grow to host a farmer’s market.

Club members were also selling tickets for its 2013 Dream House Raffl e, which is the organization’s largest fundraiser.

King is a regular volun-teer with the club and said it receives great support from the community.

“This place provides a stabilizing situation for kids,” she said. “’We hear things from the students say that no one judges them there and this is a second home, and while we don’t like to hear that kids are experience that, it’s nice to know they have this place to help them.”

Murphy read a procla-mation declaring the week Boys & Girls week, and thanked all the members for being there to make the club what it is.

“Thank you for being members of the club — you guys are my heroes,” he said.

LAC artistic director leaves lasting legacy Kathy Berls brought art to Lakewood By Clarke Reader [email protected]

Kathy Berls loved the arts.From the visuals arts — painting, sculp-

ture, jewelry — to fi lms, music and litera-ture, she was a passionate supporter and believer in the power of art, and that is how she will be remembered.

Berls, 68, passed away on March 24. She is survived by her husband of 45 years, Dick; son, Scott; niece, Katherine and many other family members and friends.

Berls was the artistic di-rector of the Lakewood Arts Council (LAC), an organiza-tion that she played an inte-gral role in creating.

“I became involved in the LAC through her,” said Barbara Benik, president of the LAC. “We’ve known each other for 15 years, when we met in the Mountainside Art Guild, where she was very involved in the exhibits.”

According to Barbara Tobiska, who founded the LAC, Berls was one of the group’s fi rst members and its organizer from its creation in 1983 to its establish-ment and incorporation in 1988.

“We started out with her as the men-tor and me as the teacher and then kind of switched,” Tobiska said. “I worked on so many thing with her on so many different things, and it was always fun.”

Berls was an award-winning artist in her own right, and her work is in private col-lections spread out across the country. She used her talents to teach art in high schools, and was a teacher at the LAC.

“She was very much an advocate for chil-

dren’s art and public art,” Benik said. “She would do anything to connect with other art councils out there, and keeping the arts alive was really her goal.”

Tobiska said that Berls worked with all kinds of organizations — from Red Rocks Community College, the City of Lakewood and Miners Alley Playhouse — on a variety of projects and fundraisers to keep the arts going.

While she worked mainly in the visual arts, Benik said she was a major fi lm lover and loved reading. She was also a great ap-preciator of music, and when possible tried to spread these arts in Lakewood as well.

“The LAC Gallery hosts all kinds of events to get these works in a local gallery,” Tobiska said.

Despite the recognition her talents re-ceived, Berls remained humble about her work.

“There is no great message in any of my works, but hopefully the works will make people see things a little different,” she once said. “In that seeing, I hope they’ll fi nd some enjoyment.”

Donations in her honor may be made to either the Lakewood Arts Council (lake-woodarts council.org) or to the Hospice of St. John (hospiceofsaintjohn.org).

wanted to have an event that brought at many communities as possible together,” Vitale said. “Sometimes Sheridan goes un-der-represented, and we wanted to make sure we brought a lot of energy to it.

There will be about 40 ven-dor tables set up at the station, around half nonprofi t groups and the other half building de-velopers.

There will also be car and mo-torcycle shows, and a Michael Jackson tribute band.

Vitale said the West Col-fax Community Association (WCCA), Urban Land Conser-vancy, 9 to 5 Winning Justice for

Working Women, Two Creeks Neighborhood Organization, Villa Park Neighborhood and the offi ce of Denver Council mem-ber Paul Lopez all came together to get the event going.

It’s not only residents who are getting in on the excitement, however. Schools like Green Mountain High School are help-ing, and so are some of Lake-wood’s largest organizations.

St. Anthony Hospital is orga-nizing the event at the Federal Center Station, with help from the West Chamber’s Union Cor-ridor Professionals group, and West Metro Fire Protection.

“The theme we’re going with is ‘Walk this Way’ which not only encourages people to walk the

corridor to see the businesses, but promote health and well-ness,” said Teresa Daniels, mar-keting manager with St. Anthony. “We’ll have a lot of health groups - stroke awareness, physical re-hab and fi rst aid — set up.”

There will also be a “meet your physician” and free chair massages at the station.

While every station along the line is going to bring something unique to the celebration, they are all united in their excitement for what the w Rail line will bring to the city.

“It’s been decades in the works, and we’ve worked through all the challenges and concerns,” Griffi n said. “Now we’re just ready to party.”

Competition gets tight for home buyersBy Ashley [email protected]

For people in search of a new home, the race is on. Nowadays homes up for sale are going un-der contract within one to two days, forcing buyers to be quick on their toes.

“Since January the market has flipped from a buyer’s mar-ket to a seller’s market,” said Betsy Moser, broker and owner of Metro Brokers and Moser Real Estate Group in Westmin-ster. “Houses are going at full price in just one or two days.”

Moser said buyers are con-tinuing to take advantage of available low interest rates, but the problem is lack of inven-tory. She said inventory is down

46 percent compared to last year at this time, and sellers are seeing multiple offers.

“My last four listings went under contract in just four days,” Moser said. “We are running around like crazy — people trying to put in offers as quickly as possible because the seller may or may not accept the offer because other people are out there trying to buy the same home.”

Moser said one reason for the change in market control is the fact that people trying to sell their homes are hold-ing back because they feel they won’t make any money on their homes. This hesitancy is a fac-tor in the lack of inventory. But Moser said people trying to sell their home should take the chance and put their house on the market because there are people out there looking to buy.

Two of those people are first-time home buyers Aisha and Jelliffe Jackson who are on a serious look-out for a new home in the north metro area. The couple began their search six months ago but then took a break. Now they are on the prowl for a home with help from Moser.

“We are looking for some-thing different and unique,” Aisha said. “We would like a big yard because we have two dogs and a master bedroom that can be a retreat. A finished base-ment would be icing on the cake, but it’s not a deal-break-er.”

Jelliffe said he hopes to be in a home by the end of the month, making the search for the right home imperative. With both of their families far way, Aisha said guidance from Moser has been a huge help.

“It’s good to have somebody who knows the area and has knowledge of the real estate market,” she said. “Normally we would have relied on our parents for this information, so it’s been helpful to have Betsy.”

Moser said pre-qualification is the first important step in buying a home. She said with-out it, she can’t even put in an offer to a home. Moser suggests buyers speak with a lender be-fore even beginning the pro-cess of buying a home. Both Aisha and Jelliffe agree.

“My biggest tip is to secure the financing before you even start, and once you do, start looking right away,” Aisha said. “The market is in such a place where one day a house was there and literally by that eve-ning it wasn’t.”

Darlene Franklin is a li-censed mortgage loan origina-tor for America’s Mortgage out of Broomfield. When working with potential home buyers, Franklin said she looks at three mains parts for pre-approval: credit, income debt or income ratio and assets or a down pay-ment amount.

“We are looking at pay state-ments, where a person has worked, their income amount and, of course, their credit score,” she said. “All three parts have to be in line before we can give a loan to a person.”

Franklin said in the past, the lending industry was not as strict when it came to docu-mentation. But now every doc-ument is verified and everyone is treated equally, even if that person has a credit score of 640, she added.

“People say it’s hard to qual-ify, but I don’t think that way,” she said. “The guidelines have always been there, but now the guidelines are actually being followed instead of steps being skipped.”

Franklin said even though lenders are taking a closer look in terms of pre-qualification, she encourages people who may think they won’t qualify to take a chance. Many times peo-ple don’t think they have good enough credit, or don’t make enough money to buy a home but are wrong, she added.

“I love helping people achieve their dream of buying a home and for a lot of people they think it’s not possible, when it is,” she said. “People are surprised all the time when they find out they do qualify. And when a person doesn’t qualify, I can help them with what they need to work on to get themselves there.”

Moser also loves helping her clients find that perfect home. She’s been in the real estate business for 10 years, and day after day, she says finds her job rewarding.

“I love it because I get to help people find the house with the perfect price that is good for the buyer and good for the seller,” she said. “It’s the great-est job when everybody is hap-py and everybody got what they are looking for.”

Killing may derail bail-bond measure Death of corrections chief could be game-changer By Vic Vela [email protected]

The circumstances surrounding the recent slaying of Colorado’s prisons chief is causing Republican state lawmakers to have second thoughts on a bill that seeks to change how bail bond violators are pun-ished.

House Bill 1242, a Democratic-spon-sored bill that would repeal the mandatory sentencing structure of bail bond viola-tions, had GOP support just last month.

That was then. This is now.The bill’s fate is up in the air now that

Republicans — some of whom voted for the legislation following a recent legislative committee hearing — are voicing opposi-tion to the measure, causing Democratic leadership to yank the bill from being voted on last week.

The bill, which is being sponsored by Rep. Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood, would give judges and prosecutors discre-tion in how they punish people who violate their release conditions while they are out

on bond for a criminal charge.Currently, if a person violates conditions

of bond for any reason — be it for the com-mission of a new crime or simply arriving

late to a court hearing — he or she faces a mandatory one-year jail term, if their underly-ing charge is a felony.

A bail bond violation for an

underlying misdemeanor offense carries with it a mandatory six-month jail sen-tence.

Pettersen believes that not all bond vio-lations should carry equal punishment.

“The bill leaves it up to judicial discre-tion to look at the circumstance, versus having a mandatory sentence,” Pettersen recently told Colorado Community Media. “If it’s somebody who can’t make it to court, versus somebody looking to fl ee, the judge can take that into account.”

Slaying casts shadowThe bill passed the House Judiciary

Committee on a 10-0 bipartisan vote, fol-lowing a March 26 hearing. It then passed the Appropriations Committee on April 9.

But Republicans now cite parole-related

missteps involving the man who allegedly murdered Department of Corrections Di-rector Tom Clements last month, as a key reason behind their change of heart.

Clements was killed in his Monument home on March 19, allegedly by Evan Ebel — who died in a shootout with authorities in Texas days after Clements’ death.

Ebel, who had a long criminal history, was out on parole at the time of the killing. But it turned out that he had removed his ankle monitoring device while on parole, and that DOC did not become aware of the tampering until days after the fact.

Though Pettersen’s bill has nothing to do with DOC monitoring, Republicans see the legislation as akin to having more criminals on the streets, when they don’t have to be.

“I suspect there is an increased focus on these types of issues and these types of bills since we learned of the various failings in the DOC system, with regard to the Cle-ments murder,” said Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch. “And I do think that, for a lot of members, that did change their perspective.”

Each of the four Republican House members who voted for the bill in com-mittee are now either expressing concerns about the bill, or plan to change their votes: Polly Lawrence of Littleton, Bob Gardner of Colorado Springs, Jared Wright of Fruita

and Carole Murray of Castle Rock.But Pettersen points out that Clements’

death occurred before the March 26 com-mittee hearing, and that her bill has noth-ing to do with allowing criminals to get a free walk whenever they violate their bail conditions.

“That doesn’t mean that we don’t expect everyone to be in court when they’re sup-posed to be,” she said. “You can still do the max. It doesn’t take that option away.”

House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hull-inghorst, D-Gunbarrel, said she still hopes to get the bill through, in spite of what she thinks are Republican behind-the-scenes games aimed at killing the legislation.

“We’re having some diffi culty on the (House) fl oor, which we’re having a hard time fi guring out,” she said of Republican opposition. “Maybe its gotcha, I don’t know. I hope that after all the tomfoolery we’ll be able to pass a good bill.”

But McNulty said Democrats should look at themselves in the mirror to fi nd out why the bill is being stalled.

“For them to say that’s on us, they either don’t recognize that they’re in the majority, or they have other issues on their side that they’re using as an excuse as they try to get out of it,” he said.

The bill had yet to be voted on by press time on April 15.

8 Lakewood Sentinel April 18, 20138-Opinion

opinions / yours and ours

Even a growth industry must have bordersThe work of both a task force and a

committee is done, and now the business of drawing up rules to implement Amend-ment 64 is in the hands of the Colorado General Assembly. With less than a month left in the 2013 session, the Legislature will need to hustle on the matter of recreation-al marijuana.

As lawmakers debate the merits of the recommendations they’ve been handed, one issue that will come up is how to deal with pot tourism. Already, a company promising cannabis-related vacations has sprouted in Denver, with April 20 — also known endearingly by many marijuana-smokers as “4/20” — being its first big push.

It seems unlikely the Legislature would

altogether ban out-of-state folks from pur-chasing pot. Doing so would be against the advice of the Amendment 64 Task Force and would cost the state a potentially large source of revenue. But there could be limits imposed, perhaps below the threshold of those facing residents, on how much marijuana visitors could legally procure. And, certainly, the law would require them to smoke or otherwise partake here in the Centennial State.

Amid myriad gray areas, at least one thing is black and white: What’s smoked in Colorado must stay in Colorado.

We’re not endorsing use of marijuana in any way, but if you choose to use, remem-ber that you are breaking the law if you take it outside state lines.

Kansas, for one, has been a nervous neighbor since Amendment 64’s passage in November. Last month, Kansas’ ap-peals court ruled it is illegal to possess pot even if it was legally purchased in another state. (For that matter, possession is still in violation of federal law, but that’s a larger matter for another day.)

Earlier this month, a Colorado woman was arrested in Salina, Kan., on charges of marijuana possession. She had nearly 4

pounds of pot, police say.While that amount would have been

against the law even in Colorado — where residents may legally possess up to 1 ounce for recreational purposes or up to 2 ounces for medicinal reasons — it does shine a light on a problem. A commander with a Kansas drug task force told reporters Colorado pot is increasingly becoming a concern in his state.

Like it or not, Colorado may be well on its way to becoming known as a destina-tion spot for pot enthusiasts. But develop-ing a reputation among neighboring states as a source of contraband is unacceptable.

Our state’s legislators, law enforcement agencies and residents should work to nip this problem in the bud.

our view

Good teachers: A lesson for lifeI recently found out that one of my

favorite professors is retiring after 35 years at the University of Colorado.

The end of an era, an era I got to be a small part of.

Professor McMurray wasn’t someone whom an undergraduate would describe as “lovable.” He was, to a young 18-year-old with a very limited musical background, downright scary, actually.

He was very good at what he did, and didn’t suffer easily people who weren’t. I don’t remember much of my first audition for him, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t take a decent breath for three hours afterward.

If you ask him, I’m sure he would say I didn’t take a decent breath during the audition, either.

Looking at that time now, I think of him as an anachronism, a style of person and teacher that is from a bygone era.

That fear that undergraduates felt of him is something that my education professors convinced us was wrong, that all our cultural teachings within the school system make clear is unwelcome, and that our society dismisses.

The adage “They won’t care how much you know until they know how much you care” was not a feature of his rehearsals or classroom teaching, I can assure you.

But, boy, did I learn a lot from him. I learned to be prepared at all times, because you never knew when the bright lights of his scrutiny would turn in your direction.

I learned about the power of teach-ing through metaphor. And I learned that performance is always a reflection of preparation — it doesn’t matter how much you want to be good; if you don’t do the preparation, you won’t be.

But the biggest lesson he taught, the takeaway, was the idea of “informed intu-ition.”

He would make us study every aspect of a piece of music, every aspect of a com-poser’s life, every possible nuance and per-mutation of understanding before we were

allowed to “interpret” a piece of music. That is to say, he didn’t allow us to ran-

domly reach for emotion — he demanded that we knew why we were doing what we were doing, and that would allow us to transcend emotion and create art.

I think back on that now a lot as I’m writing. Clearly, I have no shortage of opinions; but I strive to never put on paper something that is pure emotion, without knowledge.

I have feelings, just like anybody else, and I use those feelings to choose my sub-ject matter.

But it is with knowledge that I under-stand, and, one of these days, that combi-nation will translate into art.

Later, I developed a relationship with a different Professor McMurray, the one who golfs and plays racquetball and loves philosophy.

Like all good teachers, he was actually a multi-layered man with a driving passion for one thing.

And for 35 years he shared that passion with generations of young Colorado musi-cians.

And, like all great teachers, the best lessons were the ones that were partially unintentional.

Thank you, Professor. See you on the tee.

“I’m a state employee, so in general, I’m in favor of keeping jobs in Colorado and the U.S.” — John Peters, Westminster

“I would hope state money would be cycled back into the local economy.” — Mike Robinson, Thornton

“I think what’s important is that we fund the state’s funds in an intelligent way and choose the appropriate people to do the job. You’d want the job done right, so it’s

important that you hire the correct companies and people to do the job right the first time, so you don’t have to spend money in the future. In that case, you could potentially save money on your budget, if you get better people for cheaper that may not be from this state.” — Shyla LeVasseur, Thornton

“I do not believe that companies should face tougher restrictions for outsourcing in-state jobs. I think it’s the state’s responsibility to find whatever means that they need in order to fund or to save

money on these contracts. Money will ultimately be reinvested in the cities anyway because those compa-nies are going to be spending money locally.” — Brian Wones, Thornton

Should companies that outsource jobs face restrictions?

As the state Legislature considers the Keep Jobs in Colorado Act, which would place penalties for contractors who outsource work on state-funded projects, we asked local residents in Northglenn what they thought about the proposed restrictions.

GUEST VIEW Much-anticipated rail line to open

The Regional Trans-portation District (RTD) will welcome passengers aboard the new W Light Rail Line next week. This is the fi rst line of RTD’s multi-billion dollar FasTracks transit expansion plan to open. Riders will be able to travel the 12.1-mile light rail transit line from Jefferson County Govern-ment Center to the Federal Center, through Lakewood and Denver, to the Den-ver Union Station — and beyond.

Not to say there weren’t challenges. This milestone required the building of 13 bridges, two tunnels, a bike path, 20 at-grade crossings, six Park-n-Rides with 5,600 spaces, 12 stations and 12

miles of light rail. Addition-ally, utilities were relocated and property had to be purchased in order for the rail line to run the most ef-fective route.

Another concern that has arisen will be the elimi-nation of some existing bus routes.

These changes will be a challenge to get used to and as time goes on there may be further adjust-ments.

With light rail tracks traveling within 20 feet of many homes in Lakewood and near four elemen-tary schools, safety was a major consideration. RTD partnered with the City of Lakewood and other local agencies to develop a robust safety outreach program. A “Safe Routes to School” grant from the

Colorado Department of Transportation helped fund this educational compo-nent.

RTD even constructed a mock automated rail crossing to teach school children how to safely cross the tracks.

I invite you to partici-pate in the opening activi-ties.

The grand opening ceremony is Friday, April 26, with free rides on the W line from the Jefferson County-Golden Station to Denver Union Station.

Festivities continue on Saturday, April 27, with par-ties at the majority of the W Line stations and free rides throughout RTD’s entire light rail system. The W Line opens for business on Sunday, April 28. For more information and the spe-

cifi c train schedule, please visit www.rtd-denver.com.

Tips help cut water useBy Colorado Nursery & Greenhouse [email protected]

With spring snowstorms followed by 60-degree days, you know it’s time to start thinking about getting outside and into the garden. This winter has been a tricky one and by now we’ve all heard the word — drought — but that doesn’t mean it’s time to throw in the trowel. Whether you’re into turf, trees, shrubs, flowers or edibles, following a few key principles can help yield a beautiful, bountiful landscape using less water.

Even the most experienced gardeners often confuse xeriscapes with zeroscapes. Zeroscapes imply no landscape and that’s a very bad thing for everyone.

Beautiful landscaping does more than just look pretty, it also increases property values, reduces energy consumption, pro-duces oxygen and even absorbs carbon dioxide.

So what is xeriscape? Xeriscape is actu-ally a set of planting principles that can help you create attractive, sustainable, and water-efficient landscapes using these

seven basic and sound horticultural prac-tices.

• Plan and design landscaping compre-hensively.

• Evaluate soil and improve if neces-sary. Amending soil increases water reten-tion.

• Create practical turf areas. The front lawns of eight houses have the cooling ef-fect of about 70 tons of air conditioning.

• Select plants with similar needs and group them accordingly in the landscape.

• Water efficiently with a properly de-signed irrigation system.

• Use organic mulches to reduce sur-face evaporation of water and minimize weeds.

• Practice appropriate landscape main-tenance.

Remember, even in drought years, landscaping can add as much as 15 per-cent to the resale value of your home.

So dust off your gloves, put these principles to work and see for yourself that a beautiful, healthy landscape and water-wise conservation can in fact live in harmony. Visit plantsomethingco.org for more information and expert tips throughout the season.

Featured perennialBotanic name: Salvia x sylvestris (formerly S. nemorosa)Common name: Blue Sal-viaHeight: 24-36 inchesLight: Full sunWater: XericSoil: Average garden soilGrowth Habit: Upright spikes

How to use: Use in beds and containers

These upright, drought tolerant beauties bloom in light to dark eye-catching shades of blues and purple from May through frost. Salvia thrives in hot spots and requires very little care. They are a wonderful companion for Daisies, Lil-

lies, silver Artemisias (very showy), and Penstemon varieties. Many are har-dy to 8500’. Water these plants at the base, not the leaves, to keep them bright and upright. Occasional dead-heading will keep the plant blooming.

The thicker walls in our New Town Builders’ high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insula on than in a conven onal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we can get 2 ½ mes MORE insula on in the a c. This reduces heatloss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill! Talk to us about building your (surprisingly affordable) energy-efficient new home.

Where were you born?Whitefish, Montana and mainly grew up in northeast-

ern North Dakota and Minnesota

How long have you lived in the area? Since 1994

What do you like most about it?We love Colorado including the people, the climate and

all the activities available.

How long have you worked in Real Estate?I have been a licensed agent since 2005. I have bought,

fixed, rented and sold all types of properties all over the metro area since 1997.

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

We are a husband and wife (Karen) team with our soon-to-be-added 18-year-old son (Kincaid). We geographically specialize in the west and south metro areas. Our special-ties include: guiding sellers in preparing their home for sale. Karen is a design specialist and goes through each home creating an “improvement list” for the seller that will help stage it properly; helping buyers find the right property for them and see opportunity by making affordable improve-

ments to their new home. This comes from our extensive investing experience (fix-and-flips and rentals) over the past 17 years. We also have broad experience dealing with foun-dation and structurally damaged homes.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?The biggest challenge in today’s market is the shortage

of active homes for sale. We help our buyers make quicker decisions, from our experience and knowledge of the mar-ket, in finding the

right home. On the flip side, this has created a great oppor-tunity for sellers who want to step-up to a large home.

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working?I enjoy going for rides on the Harley, playing Texas Hol-

dem’ and watching the Denver Nuggets.

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

Sellers should get good staging advice and have their home ready to sell before it hits the market. This will help them get top dollar and reduce the “days on market”.

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

The first thing a buyer should do is get pre-qualified for a loan – no use in putting the cart before the horse.

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

I walked into the basement of a vacant home and en-countered a full-size bull snake. I was not expecting that tenant.

Lending StandardSRandy Spierings, CPA, MBA Branch Manager, Mortgage LenderLMB# 100022405NMLS# 217152Primary Residential Mortgage, Inc. Office: 303-256-5748www.BestColoradoMortgages.comrspierings@primeres.comRegulated by Division of Real EstateHas been a CPA for over 30 years

Q: With housing at sky-high affordability are

lenders still lending? Can I get a loan with the new strict-er lending standards that are out there today? Are there low down payment programs still available?

A: You are correct that lending standards have

changed dramatically in the last few years as banks and lenders have gone from very loose standards, particularly on subprime loans in the 2000s, to stricter standards today. Verification of abil-ity to repay and assets for downpayment (and some-times reserves), are now re-quired as the stated income/stated asset or no income/no asset loans no longer exist. Waiting periods after bank-

ruptcies, loan modifications, short sales, and foreclosures have all been extended – but loans are still available, even for people that have had those credit blemishes.

As for low down pay-ment programs, many coun-ties, as well as CHAFA, offer down payment assistance programs, although most of those come with income or asset qualifiers. Addition-ally, grant programs with in-come qualifiers reduce down payment requirements to around $1000. The VA loan program, for veterans, offers a no downpayment program, and VA fees can be waived for those with disabilities. FHA offers a program with only 3.5 percent of the pur-chase price as a downpay-ment. The USDA program also offers a zero down pro-gram in certain rural areas. Finally, conventional loans are available with as little as 5 percent down.

If you’re looking to pur-chase or refinance, seek out an experienced, trustworthy, financially savvy lender, that you can meet face to face,

who has access to the full spectrum of loan and grant programs. Then work with them to select the proper loan and grant programs and have them customize them to best suit your needs.

For more information on how you can purchase or refinance a home, please

contact our lending expert, Randy Spierings, CPA (over 30 years), NMLS #217152, branch manager for Primary Residential Mortgage, Inc., a local lender you can trust, at 303-256-5748 or [email protected]. www.BestColoradoMortgages.com Regulated by the Divi-

guarantee and will give you $500 at closing if they don’t meet or exceed your expec-tations. They offer a full loan spectrum, including VA, FHA, USDA, Jumbo, and conventional, among others, and are among the top 10 re-tail FHA lenders in the U. S. today. n

Laugh lady pitches pilot

Wende Curtis, owner of Comedy Works in LoDo and south in the Landmark devel-opment, is peddling a six-minute “sizzle reel” for a reality TV series about her crazy Comedy Works world.

“The working title is called ‘Comedy Works’,” said Curtis, who wouldn’t divulge where or to whom she’s pitching the pilot project. “The principal characters are me, Lucy (her four-legged child), Jeff, our GM of the south club, and an assistant who is a sexy little 20-something who wants to break into comedy.

“There are a few more (characters) slated to be introduced early on, but there’s only so much to get across in six minutes! We’ve gotten some strong feedback from the busi-ness; now let’s see if we can sell it.”

Curtis said her motivation for exploring the reality TV possibilities was primarily fi -nancial.

“Money inspired me ... to get out from underneath my debt faster!” she said.

Presidential projectWant to show former President Jimmy

Carter and fi rst lady Rosalynn Carter what you would do if you had a hammer? Would you hammer in the morning? Hammer in the evening? All over this land?

A few lucky folks will be chosen to work alongside the Carters during the 2013 Jim-my and Rosalynn Carter Work Project for Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver from Oct. 6 through 11.

This is the 30th anniversary of the presi-dential Habitat for Humanity event, and Denver is one of three cities in the U.S. get-ting the special project.

Volunteers will build 11 new townhomes and repair up to 15 existing homes in Den-ver’s Globeville neighborhood.

For more information, visit www.habi-tatmetrodenver.org.

Makes senseWhen the creative team behind the mu-

sical interpretation of Jane Austen’s classic novel “Sense & Sensibility” fi rst presented their idea to Tony-nominated director Mar-cia Milgrom Dodge, she thought they were kidding.

How could Austen’s iconic 1811 work of romantic fi ction possibly translate into a piece for musical theater?

But the team convinced Milgrom Dodge, who fell in love with the formidable project. The result made its world premiere April 5 in Denver Center’s Stage Theatre.

The result is a whimsical romp through the lives and loves of the Dashwood sisters, who go from riches to rags after the death of their father.

The sisters and their mother move to Barton Cottage in Devonshire, near the home of her cousin, Sir John Middleton. It’s at Barton where a series of tangled ro-mances fi nally straighten themselves out.

The exciting production values include sets that slide on and off stage or emerge from below or descend into trap doors.

“Sense & Sensibility the Musical” runs through May 26. Tickets: 303-893-4100 or www.denvercenter.org.

Impressions of an impressionist Works of Edgar Degas come to Golden By Clarke Reader [email protected]

When people hear the term “impres-sionist art” many may think of the vivid lily ponds of Claude Monet or

the still lives of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, but the drawings and painting of Edgar Degas were just as crucial to the movement.

The Foothills Art Center, 809 Fifteenth St. in Golden, is hosting Edgar Degas: The Pri-vate Impressionist: Works on Paper by the Artist and His Circle, which showcases some

of Degas’ sketches, photos and other works.The exhibit will be on display through

June 30, Tuesdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“We are honored to provide an oppor-tunity for visitors to experience Degas, one of the fathers of Impressionism, with these beautiful and thought-provoking works,” said Executive Director, Reilly Sanborn. “We anticipate we will once again have a record-breaking number of visitors, from across the state and beyond, in our galleries.”

All the works on display — including works by Mary Cassatt, Paul Cezanne, Jean-Léon Gérôme, Jean-August-Dominique Ingres, Gustav Moreau and Henri de Tou-louse Lautrec, who were all members of the Impressionist movement — come from the collection of Robert Flynn Johnson, a private collector from San Francisco.

Johnson was a museum curator for 32 years, and started collecting works by Degas during that period.

“This collection is really comes from three things — desire, circumstance and luck,” he said. “The desire is that I became such a fan of Degas as a student.”

The circumstance that allowed Johnson to build his collection is the fact that Degas sold only works that he had to, and held on to as many of his own works as possible. When he died in 1917 his executors had to hold four estate sales to sell all his works.

What this means for an art collector like Johnson is that while his famous works are out of the normal person’s price range, many of these less known works and early versions can be purchased for a more reasonable price.

“I collected against the market — so many people were after his ballerina works, but I focused on sketches, portraits and fi g-ure studies,” he said.

The luck that helped Johnson was the connections he’d made in the art dealer world that allowed him to purchase many of these works.

Johnson said that people coming to the exhibit to see Degas’ most famous works will not fi nd them, but will instead get a glimpse into who he was as a personality and an in-dividual. Through the drawings, prints and photographs — including his early sketches

of works on display at the Louvre — visitors will really get a sense of his evolution and style.

Johnson said that sharing the works he’s collected is part of his duty as a collector — he sees himself as a custodian of the work.

“I think I’m doing right by Degas by hav-ing his works out and appreciated by the public,” he said. “It’s springtime in the Rock-ies, and Edgar Degas is in Golden - you can’t make that any better.”

For more information on the exhibit, call 303-279-3922 or visit www.foothillsartcenter.org.

“world’s most beautiful airports.”Here’s what the story said:“Denver International Airport’s iconic

peaked fi berglass roof is meant to resem-ble the Rocky Mountains. Interior details throughout the airport have sparked nu-merous conspiracy theories — everything from supposed Templar markings in the fl oors to the theory that the airport serves as the secret headquarters for the Illumi-nati.”

Steak escapeThe Travel Channel recently aired an

episode of the series “Food Paradise” with a third “Steak Paradise” edition, which in-cluded a stop at Vesta Dipping Grill, 1822 Blake St.

Personally, when I think Denver steak house, Vesta doesn’t come to top of mind, but the “Food Paradise” peeps “steaked” a claim to Vesta.

In the piece, diners rave about Vesta’s beef steak dishes — including the signature surf and turf, which is a fl atiron steak with Manila clams —as well as waxing poetic about Vesta’s venison fi let.

Former executive chef Matt Selby (who now runs the kitchen at Corner House), talks about the veracity of venison for the camera.

The segment likely will air again on the Travel Channel, but until then, you can check it out at www.travelchannel.com/video/a-steak-by-any-other-name.

More restaurant scoopsThose of you who’ve been around the

Denver dining scene since the 1990s might remember Michael’s, a former fi ne dining spot at 2710 E. Third Ave. that lasted until 2000 when chef/owner Michael Shiell sold the place and relocated to The Big Apple.

After a chef stint there, he headed to the other coast as a restaurant consultant in California. But he longed to get back to his chef self, and to again own his own restau-rant. Shiell got his wish when Lime own-ers Curt Sims and Pam Savage decided to leave Larimer Square and set up shop in the Denver Pavilions.

Shiell leased the below-ground level space in a Larimer Square courtyard (near Bistro Vendome), and will open Milk & Honey Bar Kitchen (he hopes) in August.

“We chose the old Lime spot because ... well ... it’s Larimer Square, and I always love those tucked-away little gems personally when I go out,” Shiell said. He was particu-larly attracted to the large below-ground patio, which he plans to decorate with nu-merous fl owers and plants similar to his Bistro Vendome neighbor.

The “contemporary American” cuisine includes appetizers such as yellow fi n tuna tartar, roast hen and foie gras terrine, rabbit rilette and honey-soy lacquered pork belly.

Entrée selections vary from butter-poached halibut, roast French hen, crispy duck breast and veal osso buco. Other dish-es are soups and salads, an assortment of artisan cheeses, salumi, pasta and a burger.

Farther west as part of the Union Station redevelopment, Zoe Ma Ma, an Asian eatery with a location in Boulder, will open in the former south parking lot on 16th and Wyn-koop. The menu features Dim Sum, noodle and rice dishes and daily specials. “We use organic unbleached wheat fl our, all-natural meats, cage-free eggs and wind power,” the menu says. “We don’t use MSG.”

Check out the complete menu at www.zoemama.com.

Moving east from LoDo to Uptown, Pitch Coal-Fire Pizzeria is slated to open on 19th and Pennsylvania with another Marg’s taco joint opening across the street next month.

Marg’s World Taco Bistro, which has Denver locations in Cherry Creek North and LoDo, serves soft tacos with unusual fi llings, housemade guacamole, chips and salsa. Complete menu at www.margstaco-bistro.com.

Pitch Coal-Fire Pizzeria, with one store in Omaha, Neb., is expanding into the Den-ver market. Pitch is the brainchild of Willy Theisen, the founder of Godfather’s Pizza who sold the operation in 1983 for millions of dollars. But despite his gah-zillionaire status, Theisen, in his mid-60s, has marina-ra sauce running through his veins. Check it out at www.pitchpizzeria.com.

Comedy in ArvadaLocal comedian Bob Meddles is produc-

Summer concerts brings stars Series is decade-long tradition By Clarke Reader [email protected]

It wouldn’t be summer in Lakewood without the Sounds Exciting! Concert Se-ries, and the acts for this year’s program have been announced.

The series kicks off on June 19 with the Hazel Miller Band and wraps up on July 31 with Ryan Shupe & the RubberBand. Between those two dates will be a variety of performers in different styles, ranging from a Journey cover band to bluegrass-Americana.

The shows are at the Bonfi ls-Stanton Amphitheatre, 801S. Yarrow St. The gates open at 6 p.m., opening acts start at 6:15 p.m. and headliners hit the stage at 7:15 p.m.

“We like to focus on emerging and up-coming talents,” said Greg Lovell, com-munity events coordinator for Lakewood. “There may be bands that you’ve never heard of playing the series, but they’re bands that you will.”

Allison Scheck, Marketing and Com-munity Relations administrator, said that the variety of performers, and Lakewood’s willingness to go beyond regional bound-aries for talent, are really what distin-guishes the series.

The Hazel Miller is a local favorite, Scheck said, that always draws a crowd, but bands like Jayme Stone’s Room of Wonders (performing June 26) and Red Molly (July 10) tap into the folk-bluegrass scene that bands like Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers are dominating.

Lovell said that the search for artists begins in the late fall, early winter, and that organizers try to have acts lined up by February.

In addition to the performers, this year’s series will feature some new dining options for concert goers.

“We’re partnering with one of the fi rst food trucks in the area — NZ’s Smokin’

Guns BBQ — to offer a great dinner, and we’re working with Paciugo Gelato to bring dessert,” Lovell said. “South Jeffco Rotary will be providing the beer and wine.”

All of the concerts are family friendly, and Lovell said it’s not uncommon to see kids running around and dancing to the music during the performances.

“We have all this room for the kids to play, and it’s a really great experience,” Scheck said.

For both Lovell and Scheck, one of the best parts of the series is the venue.

“From the amphitheater you can see the foothills, and there are some really great sunsets while the show is going on,” Lovell said.

Season tickets are currently on sale for $27 for the entire series. Individual show tickets will be available starting on May 28. Individual tickets are $6 and $7 the day of the show.

For tickets and more information, call 303-987-7845, visit the Lakewood Cultural Center Box Offi ce, 470 S. Allison Parkway or visit www.Lakewood.org/SummerCon-certs.

Five Guys create one tasty burger New location opensin Lakewood By Clarke Reader [email protected]

Five Guys restaurants focus on two things — burgers and fries.

The Washington, D.C.,-based eat-ery has opened its fi rst west-Denver location at 14630 W. Colfax Ave., Unit D110, bringing its burgers and fries to the region.

“We don’t have any freezers here,” said franchise owner James Poe. “We don’t open until 11 but we’re here be-tween 7 and at 8 every day making our patties and cutting our fries by hand. Everything customers are eat-ing today was made today.”

The restaurant opened on April 5 and already during peak lunch hours visitors can expect a line wrapping around the shop.

“This is our fi rst restaurant in the area, and we feel like we’re just getting started,” Poe said. “We’re really excit-ed about the opportunities we’ll have hear, and we want to reach out and work with the community —schools, churches and sports teams.”

Tim Slama, general manager of the 51 employees at the new location, said that part of the reason Five Guys’ food is so good is because the restau-rant focuses on its burgers and fries, and nothing else.

It’s a simple menu, but with the 15 free toppings that customers can

have on any burger, there are options for creativity. The freshness of the in-gredients is also key.

“We only use potatoes for our fries that are grown north of the 42-par-allel, because they come out denser and more fl avorful” Slama said. “Ev-ery week we get an email telling us which farm the potatoes come from, and we post that in the restaurant so people know.”

Aside from the quality of the good, both Poe and Slama stress the staff as the key ingredient in what makes the chain so successful.

“It’s all about the quality of the staff,” Poe said. “We want to create a family environment here, and the staff is everything for us. They’re what makes us tick.”

Slama said that all the staff and managers are local community mem-bers, who have a vested interest in seeing the restaurant succeed in their community.

“Five guys is one of the strongest growing chains right now,” Poe said. “Part of that is our food and part of it is the fact that we hire people who are going to make our customers smile.

For more information on Five Guys, visit www.fi veguys.com.

Pomona Invitational brings out best of bestBy Daniel [email protected]

LAKEWOOD – In just two short years the Pomona Invita-tional has turned into one of the elite track and field events of the season.

And the event didn’t disappoint as nearly half of the meet records were broke Friday and Saturday at Jeffco Stadium.

Fountain-Fort Carson High School won the men’s side of the meet with a team score of 101, just one point more than second place Cherokee Trail High School.

The female side of the meet was dominated by Fort Col-lins High School who finished with a winning team score of 119.5.

“The meet went great, the quality of schools and teams that we have been able to draw to this event in just a short time has been pretty incredible,” Pomona coach Jeff Don-nel said.

But the meet wasn’t just good for the winning schools. Pomona, as well as several other 4A and 5A Jeffco schools, fared well at the event that hosted 32 other schools from all over the state.

Pomona’s men finished with the 10th best team score of 31.5 and Pomona’s ladies wrapped up the meet with nine team points.

Pomona’s Deshon Mayes stole the show winning the long jump with a personal and meet record of 21-01.50.

What makes the record breaking jump even better was the fact that Mayes has been battling injuries of late.

Mayes also delivered the ninth best triple jump of the meet with a jump of 41-09.25.

Arvada also represented well at the meet with senior Ga-ret Krohn accumulating 14 points on his own for the Bull-dogs.

Known for winning three straight wrestling state cham-pionships and earning a scholarship to Stanford as a result, Krohn is also recognized as one of the elite discus and shot put throwers in the state.

Krohn finished third in the discus with a throw of 146-08. He also threw the third farthest shot put launching a throw of 47-10.00 in the finals.

Arvada’s Stephan Sowal finished fourth in shot put with a throw of 47-06.50.

“Of course I wanted to win my events but I am happy with my effort. There were a lot of really talented throwers out here today,” Krohn said.

Alameda’s Jesus Castaneda earned his team six points with his impressive fourth place finish in the 100 yard dash.

Castaneda ran the 100 in 11.18, just behind the winning time of 11.13 produced by Solyde Bankston from Fountain-Fort Carson. Other Jeffco teams scores included the Arvada boys 12th place finish with 23 points. Faith Christian boys finished in 22nd place with nine points and Bear Creek’s boys finished in 28th with just a single point.

Pomona’s girls finished in 22nd with nine points and Ar-vada finished in 28th place with one point. Pole vaulting is part of the Pomona Invitational. Photo by Danny Williams

Green Mountain wins again, continues to be unbeatenBy Daniel [email protected]

LAKEWOOD – D’Evelyn girls’ soccer was the latest vic-tim of red hot Green Mountain falling 3-0 Thursday at Lake-wood Memorial Field.

Green Mountain freshman Ariel Modisette scored a pair of goals and junior Christina Makatura added another goal.

With the loss the Jaguars fall to 0-2 in league play and 2-4-2 overall. They are also winless over their last four con-tests. D’Evelyn will play Arvada Friday at 6 p.m. at LMF.

Green Mountain (5-0-1, 1-0-1) remains undefeated and will now play Conifer Friday at 6 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex.

PIRATES IN SEARCH OF FIRST WINHard times have fallen on Alameda girls’ soccer.The Pirates were beat 11-1 by Conifer Thursday at North

Area Athletic Complex.But although Alameda (0-9-1, 0-2) is still in search of

their first victory of the season they have played much bet-ter than their record would indicate.

The Pirates will get another chance to get into the win column when they face Golden Friday at 6 p.m. at NAAC.

SKIDDISH ARVADA FALLS AGAINAfter going unbeaten through their first four games of

the season Arvada girls’ soccer has since lost their last four games.

Their latest loss came in ugly fashion when they fell 10-0 to Evergreen Thursday at North Area Athletic Complex.

Evergreen overwhelmed the Bulldogs offensively scor-ing five goals in the first half and then five more in the sec-ond ending the game early.

Arvada (2-4-2, 0-2) will look to get back on track against D’Evelyn Friday at 6 p.m. at Lakewood Memorial Field.

A-WEST GETS TOUGH WINAfter a tough early week loss to Ralston Valley the Arvada

West girl’s soccer team rebounded with a tough 1-0 victory over Chatfield Friday at Lakewood Memorial Field. A-West junior Breanna Devita scored the game winning goal in the second half and her junior goaltender Ashley Marcolia was unbreakable in the Wildcats shutout win.

The Wildcats (6-2-1, 2-1-1) will now face Bear Creek

Thursday at North Area Athletic Complex.

STRUGGLING TEAMS GET WINSBear Creek girls’ soccer is taking steps in the right direc-

tion – but they are baby steps.The Bears are still in search of the their first win of the

season but they have settled for back-t0-back ties with the latest a 0-0 draw Friday against Pomona.

Pomona is also playing much better, snapping a five game losing skid by going unbeaten in back-to-back games themselves.

Both teams are fighting to get out of the bottom of 5A Jeffco standings and they enter the meat of their league schedule. Bear Creek (0-2-6, 0-3-1) will play Arvada West Thursday at 6 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex. Pomo-na (3-5-1, 1-3-1) will face Ralston Valley Thursday at 6 p.m. at NAAC.

TIGERS BITE HARDLakewood girls’ soccer finally erupted offensively blow-

ing out Westminster 10-0 Saturday at Lakewood Memorial Field. The Tigers snapped a seven game losing streak in the process where they lost several games by just one goal.

Lakewood (2-7-1, 0-4) will try to build confidence from this victory and carry it over to their meeting with Colum-bine Thursday at 6 p.m. at LMF.

EAGLES SOARINGFaith Christian girls’ soccer got another impressive vic-

tory after they beat Northglenn 2-0 Saturday at Northglenn High School. The Eagles scored two first half goals; one by junior Caroline Perkins and another by senior Mara Mag-nuson.

Faith Christian has now won five of their last six contests outscoring their opponents 27-8 in the process.

The Eagles (7-3, 3-1) will play at Bishop-Machebeuf Thursday at 6 p.m.

Wheat Ridge beats unbeaten D’Evelyn By Daniel Williams [email protected]

WHEAT RIDGE – D’Evelyn base-ball dropped their fi rst game of the season fall 7-5 to Wheat Ridge Sat-urday at Wheat Ridge High School.

Wheat Ridge scored a run in each of the fi rst two innings and then scored two in each of the third and fourth innings to take a 6-0 lead.

However, the Jaguars would answer with fi ve runs in the fi fth inning cutting Wheat Ridge’s lead to 6-5. But solid late game pitching kept D’Evelyn off the scoreboard in the fi nal innings and the Farmers would add a marquee win to their resume.

Wheat Ridge senior Danny Allen went 2-for-3 with a double and scored a run.

D’Evelyn senior Luke Stratman went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple and added a run.

The Farmers (3-6, 2-3) will play at Green Mountain Saturday at 11 a.m.

Golden senior Johnny Mattison went 4-f0r-5 with three RBI. He also scored three runs.

Arvada (3-5-1, 1-4) lost four of their last fi ve games and will play at Evergreen Satur-day at 11 a.m.

Evergreen held the Pirates to two total hits which included sophomore Anthony Bellante 1-for-2 afternoon which included him driving in Alameda’s only run in the fourth inning.

Lakewood junior Parker Cormack hom-ered in the game as a part of his 2-for-4 af-ternoon.

Lakewood (6-4) will host Dakota Ridge Saturday at 11 a.m.
