council debates e-cigs, marijuana rules

During the May 19 study session, city council received an update on the W Rail Line Neighborhood Transportation Study and directed staff to move forward on ordinances relating to e-cigarettes and retail marijuana.

W Rail studyJay Hutchison, director of public

works, gave an update on a study that focused on the effects of the W Rail in the areas around the Two Creeks and Eiber neighborhoods.

Hutchison said there has been a lot of data collection in the area, particularly during the opening weekend of the line. Some of the areas focused on in the study are travel along 13th Avenue, pedestrian and bicycle facilities and lighting.

“People in the neighborhood had con-cerns about motor vehicle volume which we have seen has remained essentially unchanged and speeds have stayed low at around 25 MPH,” he said.

Sidewalks are also of concern to resi-dents in the area and Hutchison said the city is looking into working with devel-opers to add sidewalks as part of their redevelopment projects.

There are also funded projects in the works for some bike and street intersec-tions like at Kipling Street and the Pike View Street Underpass.

“The community has done a great job and we’ve made good progress so far,” Hutchison said. “It’s an ongoing process and there is still a lot to do.”

E-cigarettesBob Doyle, executive director of

the Colorado Tobacco Education and Prevention Alliance, and Janet Young, police legal adviser, presented council with information about the dangers of e-cigarettes and vaporizers, especially in regards to young people.

“We’re seeing a perfect storm here with the development of these products,” Doyle said. “One of the most danger-ous things about these devices is it’s so difficult to know what is actually being vaporized in them.”

Doyle said that the use of these devices seems to be aimed and young people, and since ads for e-cigarettes are currently allowed on television, it is reaching an audience that cigarettes haven’t been able to in decades.

Young said that so far there isn’t a lot of legislation on a national or state level regarding these devices — she said three states have passed legislation to ban e-cigarettes where smoking is banned and there are 180 municipalities nationwide who have enacted similar legislation.

In Colorado Durango and Edgewater have passed these kinds of rules, and Fort Collins is discussing it.

Council reached a consensus to direct staff to create an amendment to the city regulations that would ban these devices in the same places where smoking is prohibited.

Retail marijuanaCity Attorney Tim Cox lead the discus-

sion about retail marijuana in the city, and focused on the business side of the issue, looking at four areas — marijuana cultivation facilities, manufacturing facili-ties, testing facilities and retail shops.

“You really have three options as a council — you can legislatively decide to permit any of these four areas, you can decide to legislatively ban all of them

A decade of changeBelmar marks 10 year anniveraryBy Clarke Readercreader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Numerous awards and national recognition aren’t the best ways to measure the success of Belmar in the 10 years since its opening.

For that, one need only take a walk around the development.

“The results of what we’ve accom-plished are everywhere — the sound of construction, the views around us and the people walking around,” Linda Kaboth, vice president of national divi-sion with GF Real Estate Group, told the small crowd who gathered on May 15, to celebrate the anniversary of Belmar’s first decade.

Belmar — whose name is a combi-nation of May Bonfils-Stanton’s mother (Belle) and the abbreviation of her namesake, Mary — was an attempt by the city of Lakewood, Continuum Partners developers and many other partners to reinvent the suburbs, ac-cording to Continuum’s founder and CEO, Mark Falcone.

“This is a very exciting day, and you are all here because in some way you were all involved in this project,” Falcone said. “After 10 years this is a wonderful chance for us to reflect on what we’ve accomplished in 10 years.”

The development has grown by leaps and bounds in the past decade. When Belmar first opened on May 14, 2004, there were 24 shops and two restaurants, with Galyan’s as the main anchor.

The retail square footage was around 90,000 square feet and no residents in Belmar.

Currently, there are 76 shops and 21 restaurants, with Whole Foods, Nor-dstrom Rack, Best Buy, Target, Dick’s

Sporting Goods and Century 16 Belmar all serving as anchors.

Retail square footage has increase to 851,829 square feet and there are now 2,030 residents living in the district, with 4,200 residents in walking dis-tance.

All of this seemed unimaginable in the late 1990s when the only thing at the location was the run down Villa Italia mall, but lead by Falcone, then city manager Mike Rock and other elected officials, as well as community members, Belmar developed in just a handful of years into the heartbeat of Lakewood’s downtown.

Falcone said that Rock is the one person without whom the project would not have been finished, and mayor Bob Murphy added that Belmar is Rock’s legacy for the city.

“I am humbled by the opportunity I had to work with people that I both like and trust — when that happens every-

thing else is easier,” Rock said. “When we were working on this other cities would ask if they could do something similar and I said no — they could only do a cheap imitation. You need this par-ticular group of people to do this.”

Murphy said Belmar has become a source of community pride for Lake-wood, and former mayor Steve Burk-holder commended the city council’s courageousness in leading the way on the Belmar project.

“Belmar will not be the same in 10 years and that’s important,” Burkholder said. “Lakewood is not afraid to change as the community does.”

Belmar continues to grow and with six new residential projects coming, it appears to be fulfilling the role that was always envisioned for it.

“When we first started Belmar, we didn’t want it to just be a project,” Falcone said. “We wanted it to be a neighborhood.”

Fine reads for journey through summerYou made your reservations months

ago.This was a vacation you’ve been plan-

ning for… well, it seems like forever. One of those once-in-a-lifetime trips is what you’ve always dreamed about, and you’ve bought all new clothes and even a new suitcase for it.

So why would you take just any old book on your vacation this summer? In-stead, why not look for something new by an author you love?

MaySo a Memorial Day getaway is in the

plans and you can’t wait. Before you go, grab one of these new books released toward the end of the month…

Conservative writer Ben Carson has a new book out about America ’s Future. There’s a new book out, co-written by Bill Geist, too. In fact, you’ll find quite a few memoirs out toward the end of May, as well as novels by Terry Hayes, Tom Rob-bins, Robert Ludlum, and Joseph Finder. And Bob the Street Cat has a new book out, too, and fans will want it.

JuneSummertime reading bolts out the door

like a teenager off curfew with new novels by Mary Alice Monroe, Dorothea Benton Frank, and Jeff Shaara; cookbooks; a busi-

ness book by William Poundstone and one on commodities; a book about Sally Ride by Lynn Sherr; and Hillary Rodham Clinton’s much-anticipated biography. And that’s just the first week…

Later in June, look for new novels by Diana Gabaldon, Jennifer Weiner, Janet Evanovich, Linda Fairstein, Ridley Pear-son, James Patterson, Jude Deveraux, and Dean Koontz. You’ll find a book about a dog that flew during World War II (and why). Learn how to do math in a fun way. Read about Justice Antonin Scalia. Pick up some new Will Shortz puzzle books in June. And learn how to use your manners when you have to swear.

For the kids, look for a new Dork Diaries installation; an encyclopedia of animated characters; a few new myster-ies for middle-grade readers; a new book about Charlie the Ranch Dog; and a book about farting fish.

JulyJust because summer’s half over doesn’t

mean your reading list is! Before the fire-works even begin, look for new novels by Jojo Moyes, Susan Wiggs, J.A. Jance, Jac-queline Winspear, and Amy Sohn. There’s a new book coming out about Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio; a new book that debunks myths about sex; a new book by Ja Rule; a skinny book about crossword puzzles and why we love them; a self-help book on “wallowing” the right way; and a cool true-crime book about how amateurs have been solving cold cases and bringing killers to justice.

Later in July, you’ll find more favorites: novels by Brad Thor, Iris & Roy Johan-sen, Anne Rivers Siddons, Terry Brooks, Catherine Coulter, Brad Taylor, Conn Igguldon, Stuart Woods, James Lee Burke, Ace Atkins, and Julie Garwood; a new memoir by singer Rick James; a biography on Michelangelo; a new book about fami-lies and race; a tell-all about the Clinton’s political life; and a memoir of faith and football.

The kidlets will love finding new Guardians of the Galaxy books; new joke books to while away the summer; the lat-est Fancy Nancy installment; and a new graphic novel by Neil Gaiman.

AugustYou’re not done yet. There’s still plenty

of summer – and plenty of time to read – left!

The first part of August will see a new book by Andrew Cuomo; a new novel by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child; a new W.E.B. Griffin tome; a new book about crime-scene profilers; and a book about the woman behind the Mona Lisa.

Also in August, look for a book about college football conferences; a business book about getting organized and one on prosperity; new cookbooks for backyard and for fall; and new novels by Carl Weber, William Kent Krueger, Debbie Macomber, Kelly Armstrong, Elaine Hussey, Randy Wayne White, Tami Hoag, Paul Coelho and Kathy Reichs.

Get the kids in back-to-school mode with a new children’s book by Malala Yousafzai; a new Cupcake Diaries install-ment; ghost stories; and a kid’s book about paying it forward.

And now the disclaimerYes, some of these books can be shifted,

moved, or cancelled altogether. Titles can change; so can subject matter. If you’ve got a question about your favorite author, Nicely ask your librarian or bookseller – this is why they get paid the big bucks. Seriously, they’re experts at this stuff.

Have a great summer and happy read-ing!

By JIM SMITH, Realtor ® Like all business persons, we Realtors need to be smart about our spending, but the money-saving practices of some listing agents can impact the quality of service received by their sellers. 1) Don’t join a Realtor associ-ation. Joining the National Associ-ation of Realtors is optional — sort of. If an agent joins a firm which is a member of the local Realtor as-sociation (in our case, the Denver Metro Association of Realtors or DMAR), he too has to join the as-sociation. Only members of a Realtor association can call them-selves a “Realtor,” which is a trademark. This costs about $500 per year. Agents can save money by joining non-Realtor brokerages such as Your Castle Services or Brokers Guild Classic. Not being a Realtor saves the agent money and doesn’t really cost the client in any major way, now that non-Realtors can have their listings appear on both the MLS and on Realtor.com. But I

feel it is important for agents to support their trade association, which fights in Washington (and locally) for property rights, the mortgage interest deduction and countless other issues which bene-fit our clients. And an agent who saves money on dues may be scrimping in other ways which do have an impact on the service to their clients. Such as… 2) Don’t use Centralized Showing Service. This service is a god-send to agents but also to their clients. It costs $35 for each listing, but there is no better way to serve the showing needs of our clients. They are open 7 days a week, including most holidays, answering phones and setting appointments from 8 am to 9 pm (6pm on Sundays). Showings can also be set 24/7 on their website. They have great feedback sys-tems, too, and can work with the special needs of any and all sellers, such as no showings dur-ing “nap time.” I love it, and find it can be frustrating when an agent

saves this expense by listing their private number for showings and I can’t be sure I’ll get a timely re-sponse to my showing request. 3) Don’t give out your cell number or include it on the MLS. In this business you hurt your sell-er if you can’t be reached at all reasonable hours by them or by interested buyers. I feel strongly that all agents should have smartphones with unlimited calling, texting and data so they are as reachable as possible. 4) Take off evenings and weekends. Okay, maybe I’m a workaholic, but if I’m going to make a healthy commission on my listings, I think I owe it to my seller to be reachable after 5 pm and on weekends. I understand that agents with families want to have “balance” in their lives, but I think you can live a balanced life and still answer your cell phone when it rings with a….

JCRS Shopping Center approaches the singularityBroad Street Realty invests in West Colfax landmarkBy Clarke Readercreader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

The JCRS Shopping Center, whose most fa-mous tenant is Casa Bo-nita, has a new owner for 191,000-square-feet of its retail property.

Broad Street Realty, a commercial real estate services firm, made the $8 million purchase on the property, located at 6500 W. Colfax Ave.

“We opened an office in Denver about a year ago,” said Broad Street CEO Mi-chael Jacoby. “This is our first major purchase in

Colorado, and now that we have it we’re figuring out what the best options mov-ing forward are.”

Bill Marino, executive director of the Lakewood-West Colfax Business Im-provement District, said that the sale of the space — which is just two blocks from the Lamar Station and is adjacent to the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design — is a big deal for the redevelopment of West Colfax.

“JCRS is a significant presence in the district, and I think the fact that we can attract a quality devel-oper speaks to the contin-ued momentum of the cor-ridor,” Marino said.

The entire shopping center is owned by three different owners, accord-ing to Marino, but for the past 30-plus years, Ted Knowles has been the ma-

jority owner. He added that Broad Street is considering acquiring the rest of the center down the road.

The center is currently 30 percent unoccupied, but home to businesses like the ARC Store, Dollar Store and Save-A-Lot, as well as Casa Bonita, and Jacoby said Broad Street is working to keep these long-time busi-ness locations while open-ing the center up to rede-velopment.

“We like all the rede-velopment work along the corridor, and like the near-ness of the W Rail and La-mar Station,” he said.

Jack Buchanan and Er-inn Torres, both with Broad Street’s Denver office, collaborated with Carrie Mesch from MESCH Com-mercial Real Estate to man-age the acquisition of the JCRS Shopping Center, ac-cording to information pro-

vided by Broad Street. Kyle Underwood with Legend Realty Group represented the seller.

“I think this fits right in with what the center needs, especially in the area of re-vitalization,” Marino said.

“Change is coming to Col-fax, and this is a very posi-tive step by a very progres-sive real estate firm.”

jeffco news in a hurry

Tension rises in negotiations with districtBy Crystal Andersoncanderson@colorado communitymedia.com

A relationship forged over decades is fall-ing apart.

Through federal mediation, negotiating teams from the Jefferson County School District and the Jefferson County Educators Association (JCEA) agreed on a memoran-dum of understanding May 8, but a later amendment raised concerns the agreement won’t be ratified.

Both sides said such a breakdown in ne-gotiation had not occurred in recent mem-ory.

“I’m hoping the board will go ahead and ratify the agreement, and we can move for-ward together,” JCEA President Ami Prich-ard said.

Shortly after the agreement was made, the board of education asked for a provi-sion in the teacher compensation clause, asking that nonprobationary teachers rated ineffective or partially ineffective be ineli-gible for step increases, which are increases based on years of teaching experience.

Prichard said the JCEA was in favor of teacher evaluation, but recent board de-cisions had raised red flags among some teachers regarding the amendment’s im-pacts.

After speaking with its counsel, the JCEA negotiating team presented the agreement to its board without the amendment, and it was signed. The agreement was then voted on and approved by 88 percent of the asso-ciation’s voting members, before being sent to the board of education on May 15.

Prior to the association vote, the district’s negotiating team sent out an memo to Jef-fco teachers, stating that the initial agree-ment was tentative, and the JCEA leader-ship knew that the district might request revisions or modifications to the agreement before the Jeffco school board would ap-prove it.

“The JCEA leadership has chosen to not honor that understanding by taking a tenta-tive agreement to ratification,” the memo signed by the district negotiation team states.

“JCEA leadership is potentially jeopar-dizing step increases for the vast majority of teachers who are rated effective or highly ef-

fective by asking you to ratify an agreement that will not be approved by members of the Board of Education.”

When asked, school board president Ken Witt declined to answer whether the board had directed staff to send the memo.

“I will speak to the process,” he said. “If the JCEA is to take a set of terms they know the board cannot agree to, then we go to fact finding (third-party dispute evaluation), which is a new process in this (negotiation), and then the board of education will make a decision based on those recommenda-tions.”

The tentative agreement covered step compensation increases for teach-ers, the standardization of district ben-efits, additional compensation after the increased cost of PERA, the district’s public pension and retirement fund, and having a competitive wage for newly-hired teachers. According to the memo, compensation for probationary teachers is the only item left to be resolved by both parties.

“The district believes it is important to differentiate in terms of compensation be-tween the vast majority of teachers who are rated effective and the small number of teachers who haven’t met that standard,” reads the memo.

The district has a compensation place-holder in its preliminary budget, increasing the amount from $11.7 million to $17 mil-lion for step increases for teachers.

“My position is that performance needs to be part of compensation,” Witt said. “I think we need to give raises to our effective teachers, and have a performance-based compensation plan in place.”

In early April, the JCEA negotiating team declared an impasse, noting its concerns were not being met during open negotia-tions. The two sides began mediation, re-sulting in the tentative memorandum of understanding agreement. With budget deadlines at hand, the two sides must settle on a version of the agreement or move on to fact finding.

“With a new superintendent coming on, the end of the year, and all the things hap-pening, I think it would be best to put it (me-diation) to rest and move forward,” Prichard said. “I think the agreement we put together is very much in line with what the commu-nity expressed and what they want to see.”

Find a life worth lovingWell, that does it. As you are reading

this, it is quite possible that my oldest daughter is walking up to the podium at the 1st Bank Center to accept her diploma and officially become a high school gradu-ate.

With that, Elizabeth Kay Alcorn be-comes, well, her own person (which, inci-dentally, is why I am using her name in a column for the first time ever). And, being her own person, she is now busy figuring out “what’s next?”

The thing is, most of those high school seniors walking with her have probably been told what’s expected of them next. Whether overtly, or subtly, they’ve been told that they should go to college, or get a job, or go in the military. But, telling an 18-year old what is expected of them has almost no relation at all to what they want to do, or what they will end up doing. So Lizzie, and others, allow me to give you some food for thought.

What you do to earn money to pay bills is one of life’s most important decisions. And, to get to the point where you earn money, some of you will have to spend 2, 4, 7 or even 11 more years in more schools just to get the opportunity to work. And work, it turns out, is hard; but it is in-finitely harder when you end up doing something that you hate, no matter how well-paid. So, consider well the path ahead of you. Ask yourself, “Is this what I really want to be doing, or am I just trying to live up to someone else’s expectations for me?”

Which bring up the question: How do you know? When my buddy Jay and I wrote on this subject a few years ago, we asked a lot of people, and they told us the way to know if what you’re doing is good for you is that your passion for it drives you out of bed in the morning. It consumes your thoughts on your free time, perhaps it even becomes a distraction for you when you’re trying to get other things done.

True passion is the fuel of great achieve-ment. Think about the things that cause

you to lose track of time, that will push you to work through your lunch break and through other appointments — that is your passion! Find a way to earn a living at that, and you will never have the sad, desperate lives that ordinary men (and women) lead.

It’s possible, of course, that many of you have never found something that drives your passions like that. And that’s okay — there’s time. But, can I suggest, rather than go off to “find yourself” at a college that you don’t love for the low, low price of $30,000 of debt, that you divert your ener-gies into service for a while? Whether that means the military, or a mission trip, or something like the Peace Corps, it makes no difference: you will learn more about yourself in three months of service to oth-ers than you will in four years of direction-less college.

As for Lizzie, she’s doing all of that (and came up with it all on her own!) and we — her mother and I — could not be prouder! One of her great gifts, perhaps even greater than her dancing, is her heart for helping people, for serving them. So, Lizzie is en-tering the National Guard, with an eye on eventually getting her college degree and becoming a Physician’s Assistant through the Guard. She wants to be one of the first people on the scene after a disaster, to be a part of putting the pieces back together, and that’s what the Guard does. Well

Making a ‘healthy’ promise to myselfHave you ever heard the phrase: “If I’d

known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself?”

I was reminded of these words last week as a result of my BMI, my BP, and my LDL. That’s because I recently participated in the 9HealthFair at the Apex Center. The health professionals there recommended both better nutrition and more exercise for basic things such as body flexibility, sleeping better, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Actually, everything except my LDL – too high – and my overall cholesterol – way too high – was in the acceptable range. In most cases, I’m average for a female in her 50s. A little low here and there, and little high on some scales, but still within de-fined limits for good health. For example, my BMI (Body Mass Index) is normal and my BP (blood pressure) is excellent.

But my cholesterol – what’s up with that? The overall number has been climb-ing for the last several years and, although

that’s an undesirable trend, it hasn’t been this far out of the defined limits for risk.

Cholesterol is an essential blood fat found in nearly every body tissue. Yet, as most of us know, elevated levels of choles-terol are associated with a higher risk of heart disease and clogged blood vessels. I learned a few years ago that there is actu-ally a “good” cholesterol, the high-density lipoproteins (HDL). This conglomeration of blood fats acts as a scavenger, removing excess cholesterol from artery walls.

On the other hand, HDL’s evil twin,

LDL (low-density lipoproteins) is lurking in my blood vessels, literally. This is the cholesterol that forms deposits on artery walls, so the high level of my LDL is really concerning to me.

More than a science lesson, too, these results have me wondering why my num-bers are as high as they are. Some forms of high cholesterol are hereditary, but to our knowledge there is no history of high cholesterol in our family.

My diet isn’t extreme in any direction, healthy or unhealthy, and I’ll be interested to learn whether these are numbers that I can change by adjusting what I eat. In any case, more fruits and veggies and lean protein are just right for summer meals anyway.

But exercise … my exercise routine is, well, nonexistent. The routine part, that is. And, actually, since I returned from trek-king in Nepal around Thanksgiving time, the exercise part itself has largely gone missing as well. This time last year, I was

training for the trek by hiking at altitude at least once a week and I have yet to get back into that groove.

And, I wonder, too, could my choles-terol have been this high even while I was getting my exercise by putting down the miles every week for months? Or has it suddenly shot out of control since the holidays? Neither option makes me com-fortable, and I’m headed to the doc’s office to figure it out. I owe it to myself to take better care of me.

Fortunately, these longer and warmer summer evenings hold the promise of getting out on my bike and now, especially with my results form the 9HealthFair, that’s a promise to myself that I intend to keep.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Stand � rm Jeffco board: Keep the values of quality

education, transparency and collabora-tion at the heart of your work.

As former members of the Jefferson County Public Schools Board of Educa-tion, we have developed unique and independent perspectives on what Jeffco’s schools, students, teachers and admin-istrators stand for, and what they’ve achieved.

While we come from different back-grounds and ideologies, and served on very different boards, we have come together to voice our shared beliefs about some fundamental values that have always been at the core of our work for Jefferson County Public Schools.

First, there has been much discussion lately about charter schools and choice. What we know for certain is that our dis-trict has offered educational options for 44 years. That’s when the very fi rst option school, Jeffco Open School, opened its doors. Dennison Elementary, opened in 1974, was named a National Blue Ribbon School in 2003 and 2010 for sustaining high achievement over time, and was recognized most recently in 2013 as a John Irwin School of Excellence. Then there’s Warren Tech – a highly regarded career and technical education school – and D’Evelyn – a rigorous liberal arts option school. In addition, students who wish to stay in their neighborhood schools can take advantage of a variety of educational choices including International Bacca-laureate, Gifted and Talented, and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) programs. We are proud of the extensive list of choices within the district, and believe it illustrates how im-portant choice is — and has always been — to Jeffco.

Secondly, we learned during our service on the Board of Education that transparency of board activities is key to maintaining the trust of the community – a fundamental requirement for any gov-erning organization that hopes to function at a high level. We believe that soliciting

input for the annual budget was a critical part of our jobs as leaders of the school board. We did so by creating budget com-mittees and conducting surveys as well as hosting public hearings and forums. We then carefully considered the feedback we received when adopting the fi nal budget.

We sought support from voters through mill and bond elections where we specifi -cally laid out how the additional funds would be spent. We won taxpayer sup-port for these mill levy and bond issues because they knew exactly what would be done with the money. We kept our promis-es to taxpayers and remained accountable by creating fi nancial oversight committees that reviewed how all monies were spent and ensured we stayed within budget.

To ensure transparency, we judiciously limited executive sessions — only when required to discuss personnel and legal issues – and encouraged public partici-pation in our board meetings. All of us appreciated the value of public input as part of the democratic process of school governance. Everyone was permitted to speak under the same rules and guide-lines, and no one person or group was favored over another.

The current erosion of transparency is particularly troubling to us. Examples include creating different rules for mem-bers of the public wishing to address the board and seemingly making decisions outside the boardroom without the input of either the full board or the public. Dis-agreements are inevitable, but dishonesty and disingenuousness are not. Effective leaders work hard to engender trust with their stakeholders. When that trust is di-minished, it is no longer possible to move forward in a constructive, coordinated manner with the best interests of all at heart.

Last, but certainly not least, we believe our teachers are our most valuable assets in providing a quality education for all students in Jeffco. Teachers are doing the critical work of the district, taking on the additional responsibilities to implement changes that have enabled our district to

increase performance over time. Treating teachers poorly will undermine future directives. And if we don’t consider our teachers as worthy collaborators in setting the course for our district, how do we trust them to shape and educate children, our most precious commodity?

In past years, Jefferson County has been widely recognized as a national model of collaboration between teach-ers and the district. In speaking to the National Press Club, U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan noted how in “...Jefferson County, Colorado unions and management are working together to fi nd new and better ways to evaluate teacher effectiveness and reward success in the classroom.”

A recent story on Colorado Public Radio noted that before the new board majority took over last fall, our “86,000 student district has been largely free from turmoil found in other large districts.” This is a legacy of which we are immea-surably proud. Unfortunately, we fear that what we worked so hard to build is being destroyed by the actions and decisions of the new board majority.

As people who care deeply about the future of Jeffco students and our district, we urge the new board majority to keep the values of quality education, transpar-ency and collaboration at the heart of their work.

Keep standards up My mother is a 30-plus year veteran

teacher with Jefferson County Public Schools. Sitting beside her last week, I was reminded of all the great Jeffco educators who have infl uenced my life. Ms. Kirstein

made me love learning in kindergarten. Mr. Frederickson instilled a love of science in me. Mr. Wood and Mr. Determan pro-vided me with a world view. Ms. Klemm taught me how to write. And Mr. Brown encouraged me to pursue a journalism major and gave me the tools to be an ef-fective coach. They, along with so many others, made signifi cant contributions to who I am today. I am thankful my own children each have a list of Jeffco educa-tors who have had a profound impact on them as well.

That’s why I am so disheartened by the actions of the Jeffco School Board in its negotiations with the teachers’ associa-tion. In order to balance the district’s bud-get, our teachers gave up pay increases, took furlough days, managed increased workloads and more. All in the name of doing what’s best for their students.

Yet as district money concerns have diminished, this board deems it more im-portant to do anything but meaningfully improve teacher compensation. Never mind that results of a county-wide survey overwhelmingly supported better com-pensation for our teachers.

I want Jefferson County Public Schools to continue ranking among the top school districts in the nation. We need to stand beside our teachers. You can’t put students fi rst if you put teachers last.

Preparing for 2015 New website gives citizens outlet for discussion By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

2015 is going to be a big shake-up for Lakewood City Council.

There will be a new mayor and and fi ve city council seats will be up for grabs.

In preparation for the coming election, and as a way to inform residents on issues affecting them and their city, resident Ran-dy Little has launched a new website called “Citizens for Lakewood 2015 and Beyond.”

The website — which can be found at www.CFL15.com — features forums and message boards where residents can talk about issues that affect them, a city council score card and vote tracker.

“I was approached by residents who wanted more interaction and the ability to comment on issues,” Little said. “At city council meetings residents only have three minutes to speak to council and council-members can take as long as they want to respond with no rebuttal. This is a way for them to have their rebuttal.”

Little, who developed and runs the site, said that he is neutral when it comes to the

issues up for debate on the site. He said that since the site is independently run it will ensure a freedom and lack of bias to the proceedings.

“All citizens can create a profi le and log in to participate in these talks,” he said. “We’ve also invited the mayor and city council to get involved as well so they can participate in the dialogue.”

The site has been open for right around three weeks and already has nearly 300 people signed up — Little said that any-where from 10 to 35 new people are sign-ing up every day.

“Right now we have a survey up about recreational marijuana in the city that is getting a lot of interest,” he added. “We also have a rating system for how the may-or and city council are doing and we’re try-ing something that has never been done before — vote tracking for the elected of-fi cials.”

Little said the vote tracker will be a great way for residents to keep track of how their elected offi cials are voting on issues that matter to them.

“So far we’ve had a great response from people,” he said. “The site is a way for peo-ple to see and have a voice on the decision their elected offi cials make.”

For more information, contact Little at info@CFL15.com.

Going green as a group Southern Gables neighborhood recognized by city By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

What a difference a year makes.It was during a potluck meeting a year ago that residents

in the Southern Gables neighborhood fi rst decided to take part in Lakewood’s Sustainable Neighborhoods Program.

On May 13, neighborhood leaders, residents, Mayor Bob Murphy, Ward 5 councilman Tom Quinn and Rep. Brittany Pettersen and Sen. Andy Kerr were all on hand to

celebrate the neighborhood’s achievement of becoming an Outstanding Sustainable Neighborhood in year’s time.

“I think you reached this level in record time,” Murphy told the crowd in attendance at the event at Green Gables Elementary School. “This is a remarkable accomplishment that you’ve achieved here.”

The Southern Gables Neighborhood is around 900 homes just northwest of the Wadsworth Boulevard and Morrison Road intersection.

According to Robert Young, a member of the neighbor-hood, in the past year residents have taken a variety of sustainable programs, from water conservation to waste reduction and xeriscaping.

“We’ve had classes on things like gardening and raising chickens,” he said. “We’ve also had a seed-swapping meet-ing.

Dana Gutwein, one of the leaders in the community, addressed the crowd to talk about how these projects have grown out of partnership with the city.

“This is a really special program that has led to some great projects,” she said. “These are all things we can be really proud of, and shows how much of a family our neighborhood is.”

Lakewood’s Sustainable Neighborhoods Program was started in 2012 by Sustainability Manager Jonathan Wach-tel and gives neighborhoods the opportunity to work to-ward varying levels of certifi cation by hosting projects and events that reduce their ecological footprint.

Participating neighborhoods earn credits for their ef-forts and can receive Lakewood’s designation as a Par-ticipating Sustainable Neighborhood or an Outstanding Sustainable Neighborhood based on their credits.

“It’s so exciting to be here when a neighborhood re-ceives this distinction,” Wachtel said. “It’s really uplifting to see the success and all the energy the neighborhoods put into it.”

During his speech, Murphy highlighted the mosaic of neighborhoods that makes up Lakewood, and that is something that Kerr refl ected in his remarks.

“Neighborhoods are the building block of communi-ty,” he said. “It really shows the hard work and cohesion that you have together.”

Pettersen spoke about the inspiration all the projects provide, and Quinn said that sustainability isn’t just an academic idea — it’s something that people see every day in their homes, jobs and community.

In the end, Gutwein probably summed up the feeling of the neighborhood best.

“There’s nothing we can’t do and I’m excited to see what we do next year and the year after that,” she said.

Swallow Hill, Arvada Center team up for concert seriesBy Clarke Readercreader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

There’s nothing quite like a sum-mer concert under the stars, and the Arvada Center has a new part-nership with Swallow Hill Music to bring a variety of talented acts to the center for its summer series.

The summer concert series will kick off at the center, 6901 Wad-sworth Blvd., on June 9 with Jamie Cullum and ends on Aug. 30 with The Mavericks.

Swallow Hill, which has put on concerts all over the Denver area — perhaps most famously at the Den-ver Botanic Gardens — is a similar organization to the Arvada Center, according to Tom Scharf, CEO of Swallow Hill Music, which is one of the reasons he is excited about work-ing with center.

“We’ve been aware of the program that they’ve been doing over there, and we like to work with unique Colorado nonprofits,” Scharf said. “We’re always looking for ways to help other organizations like ours.”

Roger Menell, director of con-certs at Swallow Hill, said that he and other Swallow Hill staff received a tour of the Arvada Center and had a chance to meet with staff and learn about the center.

“We talked a lot about the history in the area,” he said. “We want to learn what the customers want and are asking for. Who is the audience, and what do they like?”

For this first season working to-gether, both Scharf and Menell said the goal is to bring a lot of diver-sity in terms of performers and see what kind of artists draw the largest crowd.

“We have something for singer-songwriter fans, jazz, and roots music, which is a specialty of ours,” Menell said. “We’re always looking for ways to get different kinds of art-ists to perform.”

Some highlights for the coming season include the original lineup of The Subdudes, who are going on the

road together for the first time in 17 years. The New Orleans-based band has created an acoustic-tinged style that has made the band extremely popular in the Denver area.

According to Menell, in 2013 the bestselling show of the season was the Robert Cray Band, and so the blues-guitar master will be back this year on June 21 for an evening of stellar blues-rock.

On Wednesday, July 30, classic singer-songwriters Don McLean and Judy Collins will be visiting the cen-ter.

Collins has been touring and in-spiring artists and audiences in the country and folk genres for years, while promoting social activism in her songs.

In addition to these kinds of art-ist driven performances, the Arvada Center will also play host to the Col-orado Symphony Orchestra, the Denver Brass and Colorado Bal-let.

The Arvada Center is a favor-ite concert spot not only for its great acoustic and intimate setting, but also for the re-laxed atmosphere and picnic baskets that audiences are al-lowed to bring.

“We want to keep growing the program here in Arvada, and we really think we have a schedule that has something for everyone,” Scharf said.

“I think this shows what our mis-sion is really about — connecting people to music,” Menell added. “We’re thrilled the community in Arvada has welcomed us.”

Hotel Teatro eatery gets updatePrima, the second restaurant inside The

Hotel Teatro, helmed by chef Kevin Taylor, closed at the end of March and will reopen in July as The Nickel on the renovated ground fl oor of the historic hotel.

A chef-driven culinary concept, the menu will draw inspiration from its Rocky Mountain heritage, incorporating locally sourced ingredients into rustic stripped-down Colorado fare. The decor of the space will echo the menu, featuring textiles sourced from the Rocky Mountain region, custom-made furnishings and industrial materials.

The restaurant’s name pays homage to the hotel’s storied past. With an original vault dating back to the property’s origins as Denver’s Tramway Building in 1911, the space was once used to collect nickels from customers riding streetcars.

Leading The Nickel is chef/restaura-teur, Jake Linzinmeir, a certifi ed som-melier and executive chef. Coming from the mountains of Telluride to Denver, Linzinmeir brings an extensive knowledge of homegrown Colorado foods, having personally worked with farmers, ranchers

and foragers across the state.For more information, please visit:

Rams surge in playoffsGreen Mountain bumps off Farmers, advance to the state semisBy Daniel Williamsdwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia.com

AURORA — All season long it was Wheat Ridge who was sup-posed to be 4A Jeffco’s best team and one of the best 4A teams in the state.

Green Mountain was looked at as “the other pretty good team” in 4A Jeffco.

Perhaps that motivated the No. 5 Rams who eliminated the No. 6 Farmers from the 4A state base-ball tournament 5-3, Saturday at Cherokee Trail High School.

Green Mountain (17-7) will now face No. 7 Durango (15-9) with the opportunity to advance to play for a state championship Friday at 12:30 p.m. at All-Star Park.

The Rams lost their opening game in the double elimination tournament falling to No. 4 Ni-wot 15-11 in an offensive slugfest. But since they lost that game they have caught fire beating Ever-

green 8-2 and then the Farmers on Saturday.

And despite finishing fourth in 4A Jeffco behind Wheat Ridge,

Evergreen and D’Evelyn, they are the last team standing with a le-gitimate shot at winning a state title.

The Farmers on the other hand are certainly disappointed they could not advance. Wheat Ridge rallied for a 4-2 comeback vic-

tory over Valor Christian Friday at Cherokee Trail High School.

However, the Farmers were then beat by Durango 4-1 later that afternoon before being elim-inated by Green Mountain on Saturday.

Wheat Ridge (19-5) wraps up what was still a very successful season not only being just one of the eight teams that earned a berth to the state tournament, but by winning a 4A Jeffco league title in one of the toughest leagues in the state.

But with the Farmers out of the picture Green Mountain can now focus on winning a state championship, which they very well could do.

The Rams will enter their game with Durango as a favorite and if they win they will then face the winner of No. 2 Longmont and Niwot.

Durango already beat Long-mont 7-1 in a tournament open-ing upset victory, meaning if Green Mountain and Niwot meet again in the state championship game, the Rams will have to beat Niwot twice to win the state title.

Athletes on the runState track and field crowns new champsBy Scott Stocker

Peter Gireco of Wheat Ridge didn’t come through with his best effort of the season in the Triple Jump, but when you’re a state champion it’s hard to argue with “effort.”

Gireco won the Class 4A state title in the Triple Jump last Saturday in competition at Lakewood’s Jefferson County Stadium with a mark of the 45-feet 11 1/2 inches. For that matter, Connor Turnage of Highlands Ranch is not about to complain, either, as he won 5A with a 48-9 3/4 effort.

“This was not my best effort of the year,” Gireco said. “But I’m really excited to win as this also is my last meet. I had hoped for a PR, but I didn’t get it. Still I’m happy with the way it came out for me.”

Regardless of not coming through with a best effort, winning a state championship in any event for any athlete will be one remem-bered for the rest of the athlete’s life. And, certainly was a fine day for the athletes from the Metro area.

Bear Creek’s Osabisi Johnson will certain-ly remember his title in the 110-High Hurdles as well as his seventh place finish in the 300 Hurdles. Spencer Long of Poudre was the winner in the 300’s with a time of :37.83-sec-onds.

“I’m just excited,” Johnson said. “Last year I was ninth and I had just hoped for improve-ment. All the guys in this group are good. I came in third in the prelims — now first. Just great. My speed today certainly proved to be the difference.”

Moving down a few classifications saw Holy Family’s Ryan Younggreen come through with the 3A title in the 110 Hurdles with a time of :14.56. His effort also helped the Tigers to a fifth-place finish in the team standings with 52 points.

The classification, by the way, was won by The Classical Academy with 103 points.

“It was a good race to be sure,” Young-green said. “The key was keeping right on focus and not let the others get to my head.

I just wanted to go out, keep going, and do what I had to do.”

Columbine’s Bernard McDonald had to go through one of the biggest disappoint-ments of the 5A meet in his Long Jump competition, and event in which he was the defending champion. The winner was Ben Morgan of Highlands Ranch with a leap of 22-8 ½.

“I’m disappointed as I won it last year,” McDonald said. “In the finals I scratched on all three of my jumps, so I’m glad I at least had a few good ones in the prelims. I had one fine jump in the finals that I barely scratched on. My steps were not right as it turned out in the finals today. My steps were just not right today.”

Arvada West’s Stephanie Bess finally came through with a title within the trio of field events. She won the Triple Jump on Saturday with a 37-foot-11 ½ inch effort and she cer-tainly came close in the Pole Vault and Long jump. She was second in the Pole Vault be-hind Loveland’s Heather Waite, as she had more misses with each going over 11-9. She was third in the Long Jump with a 17-11 ef-fort, an event won by Chyna Ries of Denver East with a mark of 20-4 ½.

“Oh, my gosh,” said Bess, who also en-joyed playing the lead of Christine in Phan-tom of the Opera at school. “Last year was my first doing the Pole Vault in high school and I just wanted to have the positive attitude. A third and a second today – now I want to go for first in my last event, the Triple.”

And Bess did just that.Zoe Gilbertson of Mountain Range had

one of the finest improvements a freshman could ask for in the 5A, 100-meter hurdles.

“I got a PR today and I had been seeded 18th,” Gilbertson said. “I ended up in sixth. I’m so happy as a freshman to have been in the state finals. The key for me this week was just to have a good mindset and to stay con-fident. Now, I’ve got a lot to live up to over the next three seasons.”

Faith Christian’s Luke Yeager and Holy Family’s Erich Hixson placed third and fourth, respectively in the 3A 800-meters. Yeager ran 1:56.40 while Hixson clocked in at 1:56.50. The event was won by Robert Delfeld

of St. Mary’s in 1:55.32.“I didn’t get what I wanted, but I did get

a PR by two seconds,” Yeager said. “The key was to hang in with the others and to be pushed.”

Added Hixson, “I got a PR by six seconds today and that’s a pretty fantastic feeling, but I just wish I could have finished higher. But I got beat by good guys and by Luke, who is a very good friend.”

here is little doubt that everyone had an eye on the Niwot Cougars’ Elise Cranny in her distant events. After all, she is one of the highest rated prep track stars in the nation. And, she certainly proved her worth in win-ning the 800, 1,600 and 3,200-meter events.

Not only that, Cranny paced the Cougars to the 4A girls title with 66 points, as well as setting two new records. She broke her own record in the 1,600 with a time of 4:47.54. More importantly, Cranny broke the 3,200 record of 10:21.37 that had been held by Boulder’s Melody Fairchild since 1991. Her time was a heart throbbing 10:17.48.

“It was actually stressful and I was very nervous in the 800,” said Cranny, who ran the event in 2:12.05. “I just didn’t want it to get to me. I wanted to stay strong. It was windy and I’m not up to it. I finally got the

record in the 3.200 and it was such a fan-tastic one by Melody to break. I just always want to stay focused in what I do. There are runners out there who will stay with me for a while and that’s good for all of us.”

If you make it to the finals, that means you had success at the state championships. And Bear Creek’s 4x100 meter relay team was honored to have been the seventh fastest team in the state on Saturday. Photos by Daniel Williams

D’Evelyn � nished third in state Je� co 5A struggles in tough � eld By Daniel Williams dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia.com

THORNTON — D’Evelyn found itself in the mix for a 4A swimming state champi-onship but was forced to settle as the state’s third best team Saturday at Veterans Me-morial Aquatic Center.

The Jaguars impressively racked up 204 team points but was beat out by second place Thompson Valley (244 points) and

state champion Air Academy (280 points).It was the third consecutive state title

for the Kadets — and it wasn’t really close in the end even though they were pushed by D’Evelyn and Thompson Valley early.

Air Academy won three events, includ-ing the 200 and 400 relays and Brennan Mays won the 500 free in 4:35.07.

The Jaguars Daniel Graber won the 200 individual medley in 1:53.79, making him Jeffco’s only event winner in both 4A and 5A.

Thompson Valley’s John Thorne won both the 100 back and 100 fl y, making him the unoffi cial MVS (most valuable swim-mer) of the 4A meet.

And 4A’s only other multi-event winner was Estes Park’s Forrest Bessley who won both the 50 free and 100 free.

In addition, 4A Jeffco had a couple more strong fi nished as Wheat Ridge fi nished as the state’s 14th best team with a team total of 61 points and Green Mountain fi nished in16th, with 56 points.

5A Jeffco didn’t fare as well as its 4A teams, without a school fi nishing in the top 12.

Chatfi eld was 5A Jeffco’s top performer fi nishing in 13th place with 74 team points. Jeffco’s lackluster 5A showing was due par-tially because the competition in 5A swim-ming is so deep.

Regis Jesuit absolutely dominated the 5A meet fi nishing with 410 team points — 220 points ahead of second place Cherry Creek who fi nished with 190 points. Fair-view fi nished in third with 179 team points.

It was the fourth straight state cham-pionship for Regis who won six of the 12 events and had top fi nishers in every single event. Highlands Ranch’s Nathan Mueller won both the 200 free and 500 free, and was one of the few swimmers who was able to shine through Regis’ massive success.

Jeffco’s other top team fi nishers were Pomona, who fi nished in 15th place with 58 team points and Lakewood, fi nishing 18th with 43 points.

fax Business Improvement District. “It’s ex-citing to see what will happen when every artist uses the same pallet.”

Local artist Phil Bender juried the show.Julie Byerlein, a member of the board

for the district and a volunteer with its

champion group, said that 40 West’s artist planning committee selected the homage to car culture for the INSPIRE show.

“We reached out to some of the senior centers around the area to see if they want-ed to get involved, and we also worked with Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design,” she said. “We’re expecting more than 50 hubcaps and we think it’s a great way to get everyone involved and show who we are.”

According to Jamie Jue, sales and mar-

keting manager at the Meridian Westland Retirement Community, art is something that residents love participating in, and the community is always looking for ways to get involved.

“We’ll be contributing around 20 pieces and be a hosting site for the hubcaps,” Jue said. “I’ve been working on focusing in on community development, and I’ve always been interested in the creative arts so this is a great fi t.”

Jue added that some of the hubcaps will relate to memory function and Alzheimer’s.

Keeping in the travel lane, 40 West will be hosting a classic car show from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 7, at the gallery.

“Hubcap Annie,” who Byerlein said is a famous Denver entrepreneur and business woman, will be on hand to review the hub-caps and share some of her stories.

County locates potential ICCS homeBy Amy Woodwardawoodward@colorado communitymedia.com

After taking nine months to reassess its efforts to relocate a community corrections housing facility, the county has found a po-tential spot in Golden — and already com-munity members are concerned about the location.

The site, located at 15650 West 6th Ave. Frontage Road, sits directly west of the Foot-hills Animal Shelter. The approximate 2.6 acres is owned by Goltra Castings Company, a stainless steel foundry and is zoned as un-incorporated Jeffco.

County Administrator Ralph Schell up-dated commissioners during briefings on Tuesday, May 6, regarding staff’s efforts for the site which includes holding community meetings with local HOA’s from the Golden

Heights/Hills neighborhood and Mesa View 6th Avenue West Estates.

“We’re doing everything we can to meet with people,” Schell said.

While there’s still a lot of “ifs” staff is cur-rently working on a proposal to Goltra who have already proposed to lease the land at $20,000 a year beginning with construction, for a 40-year period. There will be two options to renew for an additional 15 years, totaling a 70-year lease, according to county staff notes.

So far, there have been “several” con-tractors who are interested in designing the 50,000 square ft. building which will “in es-sence” be an apartment complex with 250 available beds, Schell reported.

“The only thing we can really say right now is, we have grave concerns about the current site that’s under consideration,” said Cici Kesler, community manager of Mesa View Estates.

Kesler will be sending out mass emails to residents in Mesa View as well as Golden Heights/Hills regarding notifications for a fu-ture community meeting.

Should Goltra make a deal with Jeffco, Schell commented that the project would only need approval by the planning com-mission. Commissioner Rosier requested the project be presented to the board of county commissioners as part of the approval pro-cess and added that the county needs to look at cost-savings. “For us to go and spend let’s say $14 million for a new building knowing we get $5 million back; is it better to put $5 million into the existing building,” Rosier said.

The current Intervention Community Corrections Services (ICCS) is at the historic New York Building on Kendall St. in Lakewood which was built in 1922. Since the 1970s, the building has served as a detox center and

later as a community corrections facility for all-male offenders. A new facility is desired by the county and ICCS staff in order to provide adequate space, modern facilities and cost savings. Outdated heating and cooling sys-tems or lack thereof are just some of the costs which add to a $5 million maintenance bill.

The Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design has shown considerable interest in absorbing the two and one half story building into its campus for its architectural beauty.

“When we talked to the cities, the cities understand that these folks are people from their communities,” Commissioner Grif-fin said. “If we end up looking at something that’s going to cost us way more money than we had planned for; it may be we go to Lake-wood and say we’re going to go the other route.”

To date, cities have not come forward to offer financial assistance, Schell said.

Rodriguez hired as West Chamber presidentDenver native previously served on Parker chamberBy Clarke Readercreader@colorado communitymedia.com

The West Chamber has a new presi-dent and CEO in Dan Rodriguez, who was recently announced as the successor to Brian Willms.

Willms resignation is effective May 27, and Rodriguez will officially take over on May 28.

“Dan has a lot of great chamber expe-rience,” said Joni Inman, chairman of the board of directors, said. “He was at the Parker chamber and brought a lot of health

and vitality to their chamber. He also has a great business perspective.”

Rodriguez, a Denver na-tive, got his start in the business world thanks to his ability to perform.

“When I was younger I did a lot of magic shows and eventually got spon-sored by McDonalds and went to work for them for many years,” he ex-plained. “I eventually got into purchasing franchises and my wife and I opened our first location in 1994 in Nevada.”

The wide open desert didn’t suit some-one from an urban area like Denver, and so Rodriguez returned to Colorado, this

time to the north metro area where he set up McDonalds locations in places like Broomfield and Lafayette.

He eventually sold all his franchises and relocated for a while to Pahrump, Nevada, where he served as interim president for the city’s chamber.

“I’d always been very involved in cham-bers of commerce where ever I was, and served on several boards of directors,” Ro-driguez said. “When we left Pahrump and returned to Colorado we moved to Parker, and that’s when I was hired on to their chamber.”

Rodriguez served on the Parker cham-ber from 2010 to 2013.

Rodriguez said that he is eager to start his work at the West Chamber, and will work with Willms for a week prior to the

official transition.“I’ve already started working with Brian,

and I think it will be a very smooth transi-tion for the chamber,” he said. “I think it’s such a smart move on the board’s part to set this up so I can spend some time with Brian.”

The West Chamber is already a very solid institution, Rodriguez said. While he is still getting familiar with the area and doesn’t have any specific goals yet, there are some broad things he would like to ac-complish.

“I don’t see any reason why the West Chamber can’t have the largest member-ship in the region,” he said. “The business community is what drives the economy, and I want to bring some fun to the cham-ber.”

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF ApRil 28, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You might be tempted to be more assertive when dealing with a job-related matter. But a carefully measured approach works best at getting the cooperation you’re looking for.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) While others urge you to act now, you instinctively recognize that a move at this time is not in your best interests. You should know when to do so by week’s end.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A busy schedule keeps you on the move for much of the week. But things ease up by the time the weekend arrives, allowing you to reconnect with family and friends.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Travel dominates the week, and despite some delays in getting to where you want to go, the overall experience should prove to be a positive one in many ways.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Your leonine self-confidence comes roaring back after a brief period of doubt and helps you get through a week of demanding chal-lenges and ultimately emerge triumphant.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Virgos who have made a major commitment -- personal or professional -- should be able to tap into a renewed reservoir of self-confidence to help them follow through.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You soon could receive news from a surprising source that could cause you to change your mind about how you had planned to deal with an ongoing job-related problem.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A surprise move of support from a colleague who has never been part of your circle of admirers helps influence others to take a new look at what you’ve put on the table.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) While a bold decision to take an “i know what i’m doing” approach impresses some colleagues, it also raises the risk of causing resentment among others.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A misunderstand-ing ‘twixt you and a friend might not be your fault at all, despite what he or she suggests. Talk it out to see at what point the confusion might have started.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Getting into a com-munity operation fulfills the Aquarian’s need to help people. it also can lead to new contacts that might one day help you with a project.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A minor problem could delay the start of a long-anticipated trip for two. Use the time to recheck your travel plans. You might find a better way to get where you’re going.

BORN THIS WEEK: You are a dedicated romantic who seeks both excitement and stability in your re-lationships.

or you can decide to ban them but put it to the voters to be approved,” Cox said. “Voters can also initiate an ordinance banning these four areas if they wish to, as well.”

Council clearly indicated they had no desire to legislatively permit any of the four business areas, and Mayor Bob Mur-phy came up with a motion that would let council legislatively ban cultivation, manufacturing and testing facilities and let Lakewood residents vote on whether or not they want to ban retail shops in the city.

“Nearly 60 percent of voters in Lake-wood approved Amendment 64, and we don’t know why,” Murphy said. “We don’t know if they wanted to see decriminaliza-tion or if they wanted to see retail mari-juana shops.”

Ward 4 councilman David Wiechman

urged banning all four together legis-latively, but Murphy and other council members said that since the amendment passed in all Lakewood wards by 52 to 64 percent, council shouldn’t make that deci-sion on its own.

Ward 1 councilwoman Ramey Johnson voiced concern that there wasn’t enough data yet to make any kind of decision, and she voiced support for extending the city’s current moratorium — which ends in Feb-ruary 2015 — until 2016 to get more infor-mation. Wiechman voiced support for this but Cox and other council members spoke against dragging the issue out.

In the end consensus was given to move forward on Murphy’s direction to staff.

“We don’t often get a chance like this where we can go to the community and hear what they say directly,” Ward 4 coun-cilman Adam Paul said.

The next council meeting is a study ses-sion meeting at 7 p.m. on June 2 at Civic Center South, 480 S. Allison Parkway.
