Future entrepreneurs tour Olde Town businesses State program teaches students ins and outs of business By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com A mind for business is what some Jeffco students left with following a four-hour business tour in Olde Town Arvada. Stephani Grady, 20, wants to start a shop to sell anime and other animation items. “I’m learning to not get nervous when you’re pitching ideas,” she said. Grady and nine other students, ranging in age from 14 to 21, strolled through Olde Town July 15, visiting six small businesses, as part of the Governor’s Summer Job Hunt, a statewide program helping youth find work that will become a year-round option for Jefferson, Clear Creek and Gilpin County students. The program’s goal, said Devon Reifsneider, a youth outreach ambassador with Jefferson County, is that students will build skills, learn to communicate and leave their program career-ready through job fairs, hiring events, workshops and business tours.
“So much of our economy is based on small business and they don’t really get the opportunity to learn about it in high school or college,” Reifsneider said. “It’s a really cool thing for kids to learn about.” The Olde Town Arvada tour showed students what it would be like to own and operate a small business. “Even if it’s something small scale, like a pet business, lawn care service … those are other opportunities for kids to besides working at McDonald’s,” Reifsneider said. Students visited Rheinlander’s Bakery, La Dolce Vita Coffee Shop, Fuzzy’s Tacos, Global Goods and Coffee Shop, Paws N Play and the Eli Ashby Healing Arts Center. They learned about the varying aspects of small business, including how owners started their businesses, how to staff a company and unexpected challenges and rewards. “It makes people familiar with retail bakers and what they do,” said Maro Dimmer, owner of Rheinlander’s Bakery, when asked why tours like these are important. “It’s a dying art right now and it’s important for people to know this is possible.” Students Slater Thompson and Erika Nicolette were curious about how owners chose names for their businesses, why they wanted to start their businesses and

Photo by Crystal Anderson learned that entrepreneurship is a labor of love. “I’ve learned about owning and running a self-run business,” said Thompson, 19, who would like to either invent electronics or own a computer store. “It takes a lot of time and patience.” For Nicolette, 17, the tour left her with tasty ideas, such as starting her own eclectic
ice cream shop. “I’m here to learn something in case one day I want to start a business — I would do an ice cream shop,” she said. “And I’ve learned there are pros and cons to any kinds of business you own.” To learn more about the program or sign up for an event, email youthservices@jeffco.us or call 303-271-4613.
Teachers’ union balks at contract length Jeffco school district wants 10-month agreement By Crystal Anderson

Red Rocks breaks ground on new health campus Arvada expansion scheduled to open fall 2016 By Crystal Anderson

W
hen Michele Haney stepped onto the Red Rocks Community College campus in 2008, she envisioned something more — an Arvada campus with an identity of its own. On July 16, that vision came full circle as shovels hit the ground, marking the groundbreaking of the $22.5 million Red Rocks Community College Health Sciences Campus in Arvada. “My vision was to create an identity for the school in Arvada, and I am so excited we are doing just that,” Haney,
president of the college, said. “It’s almost like, for me, a dream come true — we’re there.” The two-story, 50,000-square-foot building, already under construction, will house the college’s health sciences programs such as radiology and phlebotomy, and offer several new sections such as nurse’s aide, RN refresher, health professional, medical assisting and office management, phlebotomy technicians, and sonography. The school also will house the physician’s assistant program through which students can now obtain a master’s degree. “We want to be as flexible and nimble as we can,” Haney said. “We know there’s going to be more and more opportunity for us and our programming to grow. I see the future of this campus being very, very broad because our students’ interests are very broad.” Campus continues on Page 22
The Jeffco school district has offered teachers a 10-month contract, a term the union considers unacceptable. “We haven’t had less than a two-year agreement since the ’80s,” said JCEA spokesman Scott Kwasny. “Teachers want stability. They don’t want their representatives going back to the negotiation table in a few months.” After five months of open negotiations, the collective bargaining agreement’s term remains the main sticking point between the Jefferson County School District and the Jefferson County Education Association. The two entities agree on the document’s draft language. “A 10-month term allows us to revisit the entire contract and make adjustments to the provisions, most of which are completely new to Jeffco,” said Amy Weber, Jeffco’s chief human resources officer and member of the negotiation team. “Having a contract deadline of June motivates both sides to seriously consider what has worked this year and what should be reconsidered. We believe this process will lead to a more successful contract between the district and the JCEA.” The proposed 10-month contract, which would cover the period from Sept. 1 to June 30, includes language about the importance of having effective educators in the classroom, retaining school-level autonomy and optimizing teacher instructional time and schedules. The 41-page document also includes terms of employment between union teachers and the district. Teachers continues on Page 17

About me
Investing in my love of books is one of the wildest things my wife says I’ve done. But for us, it’s truly been one of the most rewarding. I’m now the owner of Olde Town Arvada’s the Book Cranny, but I was born on the east coast in upstate New York. I moved out to Colorado after earning my degree at Cornell University in 1978. I moved out here to pursue solar energy but couldn’t find any work. Instead, I met somebody, and through her, I met my future wife and co-owner of my business, and that’s what really brought me here. Falling into books A former physics teacher, my wife had a small collection of sample text books that she decided to sell online. Having a desire to help and grow the business, I eagerly raised my hand and said `I can get you more!’ Now we have a two-story, two-car garage filled with bookcases of books. The store, which we bought out from the original owner around 2009, used to be down the street in Olde Town, but we moved to this location in 2010. Like so many things in life, I fell into books. It wasn’t intentional but — while kind of crazy — it just worked out.
Other interests
When my nose isn’t deep in a book, I like to ride my bicycle around the trails and bike paths in Boulder, where we now live — I really enjoy exercise. I’m developing a love for a good craft beer and I’m excited to try one of the ale trails, which stops at different microbrews along the trail. I

My daughter is serving in Ethiopia with the Peace Corps and my son works at the Shambhala Mountain Center west of Fort Collins. I spend a lot of time volunteering with community events and with the reformation of the legal system. I like to help with problems that are bigger than just one person could solve.

The proposed construction of a new $14 million building to house a community corrections facility at West 8th Avenue and Quail Street in Lakewood is raising concerns among neighbors. “Folks are upset, especially since there are so many similar facilities already in the area,” said Cici Keslar, president of Association & Community Management, a division of the Lakewood Realty Co. that manages homeowner associations all over the Denver area. “With this potentially coming in, they should just put a fence around the entire place.” The Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, which is headquartered near the proposed site, is gathering information but waiting to take a stance, said Ron Marquez, community relations manager with the center. Intervention Community Corrections Services is a nonprofit agency that provides transitional services for offenders approved for diversion from the Department of Corrections or who are transitioning from prison facilities to the community. Offenders may also be sent to the facility as a condition of parole and, in some cases, for mental health programs. Community corrections also provides mandatory services including work placement, money management, curfew, drug screenings and volunteer educational courses. The current facility is inside the historic New York Building on Kendall Street in Lakewood, which was built in 1922. The county has spent several years searching for a site and notes the facility requires heavy screening for applicants and is managed by a professional, “top-notch” organization.
“We feel like the community corrections program is a value for the county and community,” County Commissioner Casey Tighe said. “The program makes the community as a whole safer.” Jefferson County has entered into an agreement with Littleton Group LLC for the design-build and purchase of the Quail Street building and has set aside $9 million for the building. The county expects another $5 million to come from the sale of the New York Building, which is under contract with NY16Kendall LLC. But these types of facilities should be built in outlying areas or districts, Keslar said. She pointed out the county owns a lot of land where the county courthouse is located, and a facility could be built there. Association & Community Management hasn’t “jumped into the fight with both feet yet,” according to Keslar, but it will be keeping an eye on the project. “There are still a lot of unanswered questions.” The new building would require a special-use permit, which Lakewood planning and zoning will consider in August. The public can comment during that hearing. Lakewood City Council will not vote on the issue, but with approaching city elections in November it remains a topic of discussion. During her mayoral campaign kickoff, Ward 1 council member Ramey Johnson spoke about her opposition to the relocation, saying she would not be muzzled from voicing her dissatisfaction. “I don’t have a vote,” she said, “but if I did, it would be no.” Her opponent, Ward 4 council member Adam Paul, said it would be inappropriate for him or anyone on council to comment while an active application is pending. “This is a quasi-judicial issue, and I do not want to appear to be lobbying the planning commission one way or another, especially before the public hearing,” he said. “Optimally, I would prefer that the county find a location in unincorporated Jeffco, but they have submitted an application in Lakewood and we need to respect the process.”

Golden company recognized for Orion contributions Parts built locally went into space Dec. 5 By Christy Steadman
csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Employees of Golden-based Paradigm, a division of the Nuclear Filtration Technology, received an award July 15 for their part in the success of NASA’s Orion Spacecraft flight. “It’s remarkable how successful it’s been,” Laurence Price, deputy program manager for Orion with the Lockheed Martin Space Systems, said during the award presentation. “It’s companies like yours that made it happen.” The company was nominated for the award by the Orion program office, said Linda Singleton, a communications representative for Lockheed Martin’s Orion program office. What makes the award special, she said, is that it includes a patch that went into space with Orion, which launched from earth Dec. 5. Only a limited number of patches went up, she said. It’s a big honor to be presented the award, said Deborah Layton-Root, human resources manager for Nuclear Filtration Technology. It gives each employee a sense of pride, she said. “They get to see the picture of each of their individual contributions,” Layton-Root said.

The Citizens’ Capital Improvement Project Committee, formed in 2014 to help prioritize the city’s $540 million worth of unfunded capital projects, recently presented its findings to the Arvada City Council. Since its formation in December, the 21-member group has studied and evaluated projects based upon the replacement or improvement of existing assets, the economic impact and return on investment, quality of life, safety, service, connectivity, and whether or not the project was included in the city council’s goals or the city’s comprehensive plan.

Releasing energy into the universe Weekly Tai Chi class offers engaging community
In a standing position, each student faced the center and began to move through a series of forms, or sequence of full-body movements, such as block-andpunch, embrace-the-tiger and move-the-mountain. “It gives you mental clarity and a good state of being,” said Elaine Wagner, one of the class participants. An air of concentration filled the scene as the group gracefully moved through advanced forms, as if in a dance. Silently, each individual walked through memorized movements, releasing energy from their qi (pronounced chi) into the universe. Through each step, the group focused on tightening muscles, evening their pace and breathing, building balance and coordination. “For me, this is really about learning something I knew nothing about,” said Julie Graham, an outgoing woman who’s been with the group for more than three years. Coming back to center, participants relaxed, showing contentment and strength. Laughing with one another as the class came to an end, each member smiled, filled with a sense of pride and joy as they completed their practice. “Our continuing Tai Chi class has been together for years…,” Graham said. “We laugh a lot because we’re really good friends, too.” “And breathe.”

Methodically moving through the movements, the women in their early 50s began their weekly class at the Majestic View Nature Center, 7030 Garrison St. After warming up, they raised their hands from their sides and in front of their bodies, slowly turning from side to side. Moving purposefully through the exercises, they cordially conversed, talking about the weather, clothing colors and their practice.

Teachers take time to learn
Advanced Placement instructors gather at Metro State University By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Many students may consider taking an Advanced Placement course daunting, a mentality more than 500 teachers in Colorado are trying to change. “The biggest part of teaching an AP class is instilling the confidence that ‘I can do this’ in our students,” said Michele Gillis, an AP language and literature teacher at Cedaredge High School on the state’s western slope. Gillis was among the many who attended the Colorado Education Initiative’s AP Summer Institute, which taught teachers from across the state, nation and more than 11 different countries how to recruit, support and retain students for Advanced Placement courses. The July 14-17 program took place on Metropolitan State University’s Auraria Campus in downtown Denver. Developed as an addendum to the initiative’s Colorado Legacy Schools program in 2011, the institute helps teachers not only increase the number of Advanced Placement students inside the classroom but also gives them retention strategies and skills to help increase students’ college readiness.
“We know students have an unfortunate tendency not to graduate college-ready from high school,” said Greg Hessee, director of the Colorado Legacy Schools program. “We’re showing teachers strategies to recruit and retain historically underrepresented students … and we provide comprehensive professional development to help you figure it out.” During the institute’s first three days, teachers focused on content-specific methods taught by a master teacher who helped develop a syllabus and curriculum to meet student needs. On the final day, teachers attended individual breakout sessions centered on the needs within their school or district, such as communicating with English language learners, parent communication, retention and AP recruitment. “For me, I have a little bit of a unique perspective,” said Kurt Hostetter, a former AP literature teacher at Arvada High School who attended this year’s institute. “I’ve been a student sitting in the classroom of the AP Institute and a teacher helping others retain students … It’s not like we dumbed it down but rather opened it up for all students.” Teachers learned a variety of skills to help students succeed. From the breakdown of word choice and sentence structure in a classic text to applying real-world situations to the complex terminology of calculus, the institute provided educators with adaptable skills to enhance learning inside their classrooms.
Sharing an experiential learning lab in the physics realm, teachers Jarrad Jobe, Sharon Muenchow and Jolyne Westerby smile as they complete their experiment and this year’s Colorado Education Initiative’s AP Summer Institute. Photo by Crystal Anderson “I’m leaving here with two notebooks full of teaching ideas,” Gillis said. “I’m so excited to read these really great books and to talk about them in a very sophisticated, college-level atmosphere ... because now I’m bringing in the skills for them to be able to do that.” Just like many of their students will be in a few short weeks, the institute’s teachers, such as Taylor Stephens of Harrison
High School near Colorado Springs, were buzzing around the hallways of Metro State. Talking with friends and classmates about the skills they learned, teachers appeared to be ready and looking forward to the school year ahead. “Simply being exposed to the rigor of the course and being pushed really helps them in the college experience,” Stephens said. “And AP is fun — it’s really fun.”
Neighborhood medical care becomes new normal Health services decentralize to reach area residents By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com As the health-care profession changes, so must the way health services are provided. In neighborhoods across the metro area, residents are seeing smaller primary care facilities and emergency rooms spring up to offer care that is more local and connected. Centura Health has opened Neighborhood Health Centers in Arvada, Golden and Lakewood and is working on a health and wellness center in Thornton. North Suburban Medical Center has two free-standing emergency rooms coming to Thornton and Westminster. SCL Health is building a community-based hospital in Northglenn. “At our free-standing ERs, you get the benefits of our main hospital ER, with board-certified emergency physicians on staff 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” said Jennifer Alderfer, CEO of North Suburban Medical Center. “But you also get the convenience of a place near your home, where you can receive care quickly. Patients don’t want to have to wait long or drive far to receive high-quality emergency care. Our expectation is that patients see a doctor within 10 minutes of arriving.” For some companies, like Centura, this

ships, and Centura has already started by working with Walgreens in Lakewood and Federal Heights. Centura’s Belmar Neighborhood Health Center is on the second story of the Walgreens at Wadsworth and Alameda, and is the first such design in the entire country, according to Teresa Daniels, marketing manager with St. Anthony Hospital. The Healthcare Clinic in Federal Heights in one of 16 select clinics in the state within a Walgreens store to partner with Centura Health. They offer increased access to care and medical services, particularly after hours and on weekends. Advances in technology and care options are also making these kinds of outpatient facilities more desirable for patients, said Brian Newsome, director of content services at SCL Health. “There are fewer and fewer health care conditions that require long inpatient stays,” Newsome said. “The intent is to create a place where people can get these quicker services they need.” For residents in the same neighborhood as these new centers, it’s an exciting time to have such accessible care. “It’s the promise of Belmar and the promise of downtown,” said Lakewood resident Ken Parks, who will be moving just down the street from a neighborhood center. “This is an example of function following form, and is a good evolution for the community and in a business sense.”

Turning trash into treasure is an ages-old adage, but there are those who still manage to find creative ways to use what most would throw away. ReFrame, a nonprofit creative reuse center created by Crystal Froman Levine, takes items many would get rid of and makes arts and crafts for all ages out of them. “I wanted to create a sustainable place that gathers everyone together,” Levine said. “Our inventory of materials is ever-changing because people are always donating new things for us.”
Arts for all: The idea for ReFrame was inspired by SCRAP Portland, a creative reuse center that kept all manner of materials from landfills by finding artistic ways to use them. Levine, a teacher at Compass Montessori in Golden, was inspired by the idea and wanted to put it to practice in the area. “We’re able to really slash prices on all the items we have here,” she said. “We’re the first public nonprofit creative business like this around.” All the pieces on display are made in house or during some of the many classes held for all ages at ReFrame. The center also hosts workshops, fundraisers and parties for both kids and adults.
Community outreach: ReFrame serves an open studio for area artists in need and relies on volunteers to keep running. ReFrame attends events like Ted Talks and FARMCAD to spread the word about opportunities available for creation. “I wanted to volunteer and they’ve been extremely receptive and welcoming. I help with pricing and get to make things for the inspiration, which shows people the kinds of things you can create,” said Rebecca Bowman, who works at ReFrame. “I love having the space and the freedom to try and experiment.”

Reunions are dying — thank technology My best friend from high school came into town last weekend with his wife, and it was a truly excellent event: Michael and I have always been those friends who can go days, months, even years without talking to each other, but then pick things up again without skipping a beat. There is something to be said for relationships that straddle the formative events of your life. And, even when your world views head in completely different directions as adults, knowing where you come from, and how your friends influenced your life, creates bonds that don’t break. He lives in Austin now and manages to get back to town once every four or five years, so it’s kind of a big deal. We — many members of the old gang — met Friday night at Old Chicago, then again for a picnic at his parents’ house on Sunday afternoon. Funny thing is this weekend was quite a bit more fun than my 20th reunion several years ago. These were people I wanted to see. I was curious to learn what directions their lives had taken. I knew they would make me laugh and feel good about where I came from and where everybody was going. The same can’t be said about reunions. In fact, my wife has an upcoming reunion this summer — the exact number being withheld to protect, well, me — and it looks like that event is going to come up short of expecta-
tions. At last report, out of a graduating class of some 400, only 24 had signed up for the Saturday night formal event, so it was cancelled. I’ve heard a similar report from another friend of ours who went to a different school than either of us. Reunions are dying. Michael Alcorn I have a theory about that: I think HITTING Facebook and other HOME social media have just about killed the wonder of the high school reunion. Everybody you want to stay in touch with you can; everybody posts pictures of their kids, so there’s not much news there; and you can easily find out what the people you graduated are doing. It’s a fully-digitized, minimallyinteractive reunion on a phone/tablet. That is one example of what economists call “creative destruction.” Facebook has been great for friendships, but the people at Reunions, Unlimited probably want to punch Mark Zuckerberg in the mouth. And technology is just going to increase the pace of that sort of destruction. What’s that sign at DIA say? Eight of the top 10 jobs in 2025 haven’t been
invented — yet. Imagine what happens to the taxi industry when the Google car gets online and becomes normal. Or think about what’s going to happen to wait staff at restaurants as automation moves to the table top (especially as a $15 minimum wage becomes a mandate). And, by the way, if you think Big Education is fighting hard for its prerogatives now, wait until you see massive numbers of students and families opting to do education through the online academy. The world is changing, as it always has, and always will. But the pace of change is dizzying, and the future belongs to people who can anticipate the next change, adapt to its reality and, wherever possible, mold and guide that change. To be honest, that is a daunting thought, though the possibilities are equally exhilarating. I just hope somebody thinks to come up with a next generation of Skype that allows me to have a beer with Michael and all our old friends from the comfort of my living room. A holographic chat room — that would be exciting, though, I suppose, bad for Old Chicago.
Last week, James Holmes was convicted on all counts of murder and attempted murder in the mass shooting that occured in an Aurora movie theater in 2012. His case is now in the sentencing phase. We asked folks around 38th Avenue and Kipling in Wheat Ridge what their thoughts were following the verdict.

Can you make your living where you live? Ask your boss I have a great boss. She lets me linger over coffee while checking Facebook in the morning and encourages me to combine emails with a load of laundry. And if lunch is a power nap instead, that’s just fine, too. And who is this fabulous person? It’s you … if you have a home office, that is. Set your own hours. Fix dinner between conference calls. Work in your jammies, casual clothes, or even no clothes at all if that’s your thing. Sound good? Whether you work remotely for a corporation as I do, or you’re winging it as an entrepreneur, you can make your personal headquarters feel like home, because, well, it is. And, as a long-time home officer, I have some darn good advice for those of you who want to give it a try. 1. Get physical — in the dining room, in the bedroom, anywhere you can carve out space specifically for your work. My current office is in a coat closet. Don’t laugh! I built a desk with a pull-out surface for working while seated, and a higher surface for standing. This multi-level wonder rolls out of the closet, along with a filing cabinet on wheels that fits under the desk. When I’m not using my office, it all
rolls back behind bi-fold doors, which is a good thing because I subscribe to the theory that a cluttered desk is the sign of a creative mind. 2. Resist temptation to take your work home. I know, I know – you are home. But, heck, you’ve just created a great space, so keep your work Andrea Doray there. My own mantra is (usually), “I can sleep ALCHEMY where I work, but not work where I sleep.” Personal emails, however, or playing word games on my laptop in bed are not considered work! 3. Get in the groove of your own work schedule. I personally have spurts of genius after about 1 a.m., which is when I do most of my writing. I do have to grab some sleep because I have a day job, but when I am faced with, ahem, a writing deadline, I’ll get up at 4 a.m., or just stay up late after laughing myself
helpless with Jimmy Fallon. 4. Get connected outside of the office. Overcome the challenge of isolation with professional activities, volunteering or, in my case, getting together with as many writers as I can. You’ll make yourself – and your community – very happy. 5. Dress for success, no matter what that looks like. I mentioned the choice of clothes – or lack of – earlier. Myself, I get dressed in reasonable work attire even before I get my favorite brew from my favorite barista (yes, she’s also me). Sometimes I’m moved to put on a little mascara and maybe some earrings, too. Working in footed flannel has never had much of an appeal for me. So there you have it — the best work space, the best hours and, of course, the best possible boss. (Actually, I also have a boss for my corporate work, and let me say here that she is just swell.) Who could ask for more? Andrea Doray is a writer who is a fervent advocate of Boss’s Day. Contact her at a.doray@ andreadoray.com.

A summer of song and theater Can’t believe the summer’s more than half over. My grands/great-grands from Las Vegas just left after a two-week stay. We took in a Rockies game (which “we” won), went to a wedding, and a 70th birthday party, made a trip to Casa Bonita, and, in general had a wonderful time. Of course, I had to share them with parents and other assorted relatives. Now it’s time to get back to regular life. Boring ... no. Busy ... yes.

Why do I reject love when it’s offered? Dear Neil: I had a relationship with a lovely, intelligent woman with whom I was amazingly compatible. As the relationship continued to get better and better, I developed more and more reasons why this would not work. I would let a month go by staying distant and aloof, and then call to invite her over for dinner. As always, I was strongly fascinated yet very fearful. The relationship became intimate. That was when I knew I needed to get her to stop liking me or I wouldn’t be able to handle it. The day came where she initiated a conversation about the future — and I panicked and ran away. Eight months went by with no contact. Suddenly my true feelings for her came down on me like a tidal wave, so I reached out to her. But she had moved on, and I am heartbroken, regretful and feel an all-consuming loss. This Lesson Was Expensive Dear Neil: I am 60 years old. I lost my husband after 30 years of marriage. I had to find my own identity without him. I fear giving so much of myself away again because I don’t want to experience that kind of loss again. However, not long after his death, I reconnected with my high school sweetheart, and I felt like I had met my true soul mate. But then I began to have major fears and doubts about his financial instability, his many relationships in the past and his divorce. As much as I was drawn to him, I was equally pulling away. It is now 8 years later. I have broken up with him 5 times, and I still cannot commit. I wish I could devote myself without all this doubt, fear and hesitation, but my fear will not leave me. Too Afraid to Act Dear Lesson and Too Afraid: In email after email, this issue appears to never end. Running away from someone you want appears to be a fairly large dilemma for many people. Why would anyone behave
in ways which by all appearances is so completely self-sabotaging — because it prevents you from being contented and having the loving relationship you want? This is about the fear of getting close. Neil Rosenthal I might fear a close relationship with SOUND you because I’m ADVICE afraid you’ll leave me (or die on me). I may not feel I’m good enough for you or worthy of your love—or I simply may feel unlovable. So I run away or push you away, because I figure it’s better to be safe than rejected, abandoned or discovered to be deficient and damaged. How do I change this? By confronting those truths — and by resolving to address my fears of abandonment, my feelings of inadequacy (or of feeling unlovable), and my anxieties about being a failure at love or of putting roadblocks in the way with people I want and who want me. It will be extremely helpful to find a competent psychotherapist or another person who can guide you, challenge you and push you to do what is hard — instead of what is easy. Neil Rosenthal is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Westminster and Boulder. His column is in its 24th year of publication and is syndicated around the world. You can reach him at 303-758-8777, or email him through his website: www. heartrelationships.com. He is the author of the new book: “Love, Sex and Staying Warm: Keeping the Flame Alive.”
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Good for Arvada police station
I really enjoyed reading about all the environmentally friendly features the Arvada police substation has incorporated into its design (June 18th edition). It is very reassuring so see a city taking such a proactive stance when it comes to energy reduction and Arvada sets a stellar example for the rest of the nation as we collectively work towards energy reductions. One of the most significant national pollution reduction plans is the Clean Power Plan. This plan calls for the United States to reduce carbon pollution 30 percent by 2030, more than what Germany produces in a single year. This will be no small accomplishment as Germany is the sixth largest polluter in the world. Fortu-
nately, this plan is very doable as several states have already met or exceeded the CPP standards. Unfortunately, many will fight to preserve the status quo where America powers its cities at the expense of our public health and environment. Still, everyday people can make a difference just as the people of Arvada did when they built their efficient police station. Our senators need to hear about our support for the Clean Power Plan, so contact Senators Michael Bennet at 303-455-7600 and Cory Gardner at 970663-2679. By calling, each of us can participate in preserving basic human rights such as clean air. Kelley Schweissing Grand Junction

PHAMALY presents ‘Cabaret’
4100 or www.phamaly.org.
For its annual full-scale musical production this year, Phamaly Theatre Company is taking on the very challenging “Cabaret.” I have no doubt they are more than up to the task. Each actor in the company has a physical/cognitive/emotional disability of some kind. Some are obvious, others are not. But, the bottom line is each of these talented individuals has earned the right to be center stage. And, a very big stage it is ... the production takes place at the Denver Performing Arts Center in the Space Theatre at Speer Blvd. & Arapahoe St. The iconic “Cabaret” is set in 1931 Berlin as the Nazies are rising to power. Tunes include “Cabaret,” and “Money.” I’ve seen many of the cast members a number of times and I can assure you it will be an evening very well spent. It runs through Aug. 9 and tickets/info can be found at 303-893-
Fundraiser for Senior Housing Options Another of my favorite annual events, is the production at the Barth Hotel, 1510 17th Street in the heart of downtown Denver. This year the play is “The Odd Couple – The Female Version.” Performances are Thurs., Fri., and Sat. through Aug. 22. The play is produced by and a fund raiser for Senior Housing Options. The Barth is one such facility and each evening a resident welcomes the audience to his/her home. It’s a very touching experience. For tickets and info, call 303-595-4464 ext. 10, or at www.seniorhousingoptions. org. Columnist Harriet Hunter Ford may be reached at hhunterford@gmail.com.
OBITUARIES RIDINGER
Dorothy Jeanette Smith Ridinger July 4, 1919 - June 14, 2015
Dorothy Jeanette Smith Ridinger passed away on June 14, just 20 days before Independence Day 2015, which would have been her 96th birthday. Dorothy was born in 1919 to Clarence Raymond Smith and Bessie Darlene Williams Smith, fellow students who were married in 1914 when Clarence graduated from Aurora College, Aurora, Illinois. Alongside her two brothers (Gerald, who passed in 1931, and Rolland, who passed in 2003), Dorothy grew up surrounded by the close-knit family of the early days at Aurora College, where Clarence would spend a further 55 years as a much respected professor and well-rounded academic. She survived diphtheria in 1924, repeatedly visited relatives in central Nebraska and near DeKalb and Galesburg, Illinois, and in 1933 took a tour of western National Parks before spending the summer in California. Dorothy attended nursing school and Aurora College before marrying Henry Arthur Ridinger, Jr., a fellow Aurora College student, on August 31st, 1939. She became a homemaker in Auburn
NELSON
and then Aurora, Illinois, where their only child, Dolores Jean Ridinger Tate, was born on April 2, 1942. Moves to Tachikawa, Japan, and Peoria, Illinois followed. After her divorce in the 1950s, Dorothy worked as a hostess in Ricketts Restaurant opposite the landmark Chicago Water Tower, before working for most of the rest of her career at Charles A. Stevens on State Street in Chicago. There, she was a cosmetologist and sales person in the Junior Department, before spending many years in their Designer’s Shop, which she especially loved. During this time, she made regular trips to Arvada, Colorado to spend time with her daughter Jean’s family, where she was invaluable in watching over her grandson Brant, plus assorted dogs and horses while Jean
traveled for work. Once she stopped commuting to Chicago, Dorothy worked at Little Traveler in Geneva and briefly in Aurora before retiring. She was a faithful walker along the Fox River trail between W. Galena Boulevard and Illinois Avenue and a dear helpmate to her brother Rolland. Except for regular trips to Colorado and special trips to Europe around 1980, Washington D.C. in 1999 and Alaska in 2005, Dorothy remained in Aurora until the fall of 2008 when she moved to Allied Jewish Apartments in the Cherry Creek area of Denver, Colorado. She lived there until she moved in with Jean in January of 2013. In her final decade, she bounced back from radiation therapy, a broken hip, and two hip replacements, only entering a steep decline in the last six weeks of her life. Dorothy is survived by her daughter Jean, grandson Brant (Nicole) Tate and greatgrandchildren Jos and Mim of Brisbane Australia, all of whom will miss her greatly. She will be interred with family who preceded her at Riverside Cemetery, Montgomery, IL.

Kimberley Kay Hall
June 13, 1958 – July 12, 2015
Kimberley Kay Hall, 57, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 12, 2015 in Lakewood, CO. Kim was born June 13, 1958, in Kansas City, KS. Kim had 2 sons. Kim is survived by her husband Michael and son Travis, sister Dianna, half-brother Clark and half-sister Linda. Cody, her son, has preceded her death. Kim’s kind heart knew no bounds and she was always willing to help anyone should they ever ask. She was a loving wife and mother and always believed that no matter

CULTURE FA I T H FA M I LY FOOD HEALTH
Equestrian culture alive and well in our communities By Crystal Anderson
canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com Along the Front Range, a passionate group of individuals share a love of the Western culture, in particular an iconic symbol of all things West — the horse. “The bug bites you or it doesn’t,” said Lauren Whitmarsh, a horse trainer and teacher at A Rising Star Equestrian Center in Arvada. “I think it’s something ingrained into you or it’s not … I couldn’t live without horses.” From a young age, many equestrians build a bond, one they say is strong and deep and can’t be compared to anything else. “There’s a passion for that animal that you know, it’s this connection that you get that you don’t get with a human, and I think that’s what draws people into the Western heritage,” said John Boyle, owner of the Golden Mill Country Store and Jefferson County equestrian. “There’s a connection between you and that horse that you can’t get anywhere — you can’t get that from a phone or even another person. It’s a silent communication that’s cathartic, healing and fills you.” A diverse culture, the equestrian world of Adams and Jefferson counties is expansive and attracts individuals of all ages. From barn youth camps and open space trail riding, precision drill training, to rodeo and riding lessons, the horse world is full of opportunities for all ages and skill levels. Those involved with horses say the bond created between rider and horse is something that once formed can’t be broken. “I think a horse is good for you,” said Tia Leftin, a trainer at Silver Quarter Acres in Golden. “Even when things go wrong, you can listen to the horse eating and it’s so Zen — there’s just something about a horse.”

Tavern Uptown going even more ‘up’ with rooftop The building that houses the Tavern Uptown, a popular watering hole at 538 E. 17th Ave., is being redeveloped into a mixed-use project with plans to develop an eight-story building with roughly 315 apartments and 14,000 square feet of retail space, which will include the addition of a rooftop patio for the Tavern on top of the eight-story building. A joint venture between Southern Land Co. of Nashville, Tennessee, and real estate investment firm GTIS Partners LP, headquartered in New York City, has announced plans for the redevelopment of a 1.5-acre site in the Uptown neighborhood. Tim Downey, CEO of Southern Land Co., said, “We are delighted to have the opportunity to develop much-needed apartment housing in Denver while enabling a popular neighborhood gathering spot to continue to thrive and serve its loyal customers. This location offers the ideal setting to benefit the community, businesses and residents alike.” “We couldn’t be more pleased with the site’s proximity to downtown jobs and its easy access to Uptown’s amenities and parks” added Ken Howell, CFO of Southern Land Co. “Over the years, we’ve been approached by various developers who wanted to purchase our property,” says THG Owner/CEO Frank Schultz. ”We’ve always declined because we have a history in Uptown and could never imagine leaving the neighborhood. Tavern Uptown was our first location — the birthplace of Tavern — so it’s pretty sentimental to us. We feel we’re part of the fabric of the community and have grown with the neighborhood. Our regular guests have been coming for years and are family to us. “Southern Land Company recognized our steadfast stance of keeping Tavern Uptown in our same location. They proposed a plan, which includes Tavern Uptown in the redesign of their new multifamily building. This is a really exciting opportunity for us to keep Tavern Uptown in

ABBA tribute band rocks Red Rocks
The Swedish pop group ABBA is a worldwide sensation that continues to lure millions of young and old fans to their infectious feel-good songs through films (“Muriel’s Wedding,” “Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”) and the Broadway musical and film hit “Mamma Mia!” In an interview with the Associated Press, songwriter Bjorn Ulvaeus said that ABBA would never do a reunion tour. “Money is not a factor, and we would like people to remember us as we were. Young, exuberant, full of energy and ambition.” Well, here is your opportunity to relive the ABBA phenomenon. The Music of ABBA With Arrival From Sweden, the world’s foremost ABBA tribute show, comes to Colorado at 8 p.m. July 29 at Red Rocks Amphiteatre (doors open at 6:30). For more information, and to sample music and video on the band, go to www. themusicofabba.com.

Whole Foods heads downtown
Construction is underway on Pivot Denver, the approximately 580-unit mixeduse community located at the corner of
17th and Wewatta streets, adjacent to the recently revitalized Union Station. This development covers an entire two-acre city block and will be home to Whole Foods Market’s new 56,000-square-foot flagship Denver store. “As new apartment buildings rise throughout the Denver metro area, it’s critical to be able to provide services and amenities that not only accommodate apartment residents, but will also meet the needs of the surrounding community,” said Peter Petricca of Holland Partner Group. Upon completion in April 2018, Pivot Denver will comprise approximately 67,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, one level of underground parking, and three levels of above-grade parking. Sitting on top of the retail/parking will stand three 10-story towers containing approximately 580 luxury residential units. The three towers will be connected by a central amenity building, surrounded by three separate outdoor recreation and living areas.

Anschutz art collection impressive exhibition
Victorian building lets visitors enjoy rich variety of Western art pieces
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com
The brick four-story Victorian building at 1727 Tremont Place says “Navarre” on its facade. But today it has new life as the American Museum of Western Art and houses the impressive Western art collection belonging to businessman Phil Anschutz. Art lovers will want to know that open hours and programming are extended in this beautifully restored building, constructed in 1880 as the Brinker Collegiate Institute — a school for young ladies. Its checkered history includes a period as a bordello, a restaurant, a jazz club and purchase by the Anschutz Corp. in 1997. In 2010, it became the American Museum of Western Art, a home for the formerly private Anschutz Collection, opening on a regular schedule in 2012. It displays more than 300 paintings, sculptures and drawings by more than 180 artists and spans about 200 years of American history. Special programming this summer looks at travel and transportation technology, with a lecture on Aug. 12, “Colorado Connections,” by Brian Trembath, special collections librarian for Western history and genealogy with the Denver Public Library. Isabella Bird’s first look at Rocky Mountain National Park and Czar Nicholas’ hunt with the world-famous Buffalo Bill Cody will be discussed. The collection is displayed in salon style — hung from floor to ceiling — as it would have been
when this building and many of the earlier works were created. The high ceilings and excellent lighting design allow each work to shine on its own — or interact with those around it, depending on the viewer’s inclination. Each floor includes a more intimate space, furnished like an elegant parlor, at the elevator stops, with portraits, small sculptures and some decorative art — worth a look even if you choose to climb the stairs. Ernest Fecchin’s portrait of Mabel Dodge Luhan faces in towards the third-floor gallery, which includes many works by the Taos artists she influenced. The main floor gallery, on the second floor, offers a mostly chronological look at the development of Western art, starting with early expeditionary artists such as George Catlin and Alfred Jacob Miller, who accompanied military, exploratory and fur trade expeditions in the early 1800s. Catlin recorded images of Mandan Indian ceremonies while Moran and Bierstadt portrayed the dramatic landscape. Charles Russell and Frederic Remington painted Western life just after the Civil War, when rapid change was taking place. In the third floor gallery, images commissioned by the Santa Fe Railroad stand out. Many are painted by members of the Taos Society of Artists (1915 to 1927) — European-trained painters who were drawn to New Mexico by both light and lifestyle: Ernest Blumenschein, Henry Sharp, Bert Phillips, Ernest Fecchin. Later comers were Georgia O’Keeffe, John Marin, Marsden Hartley, N.C. Wyeth and Maxfield Parrish. The fourth-floor gallery is arranged around themes: travel, Western scenery through the lens of Hudson River painters, New Deal art, American Regional painting and more recent Abstract Expressionism.

“We believe the draft collective bargaining agreement reflects the hard work at the table to accomplish these interests, as well as interests brought by JCEA,” Weber said. But Lesley Dahlkemper, a member of the board minority, said this year’s draft agreement is fiscally irresponsible and disrespectful to teachers. “Our superintendent has a three-year contract — our teachers deserve the same.” According to Kwasny, JCEA sent an email to the board requesting an open-table discussion about the contract length. As of press time Tuesday, it was unclear whether the board would agree. Once both negotiating teams agree to a
draft agreement, it goes to JCEA members for a vote. If teachers approve, it would then go to the school board for final approval. “It’s been a rocky road with the board, and teachers want stability — that’s what a multi-year bargaining agreement would bring,” Kwasny said. “We’re certainly willing to be at the table until midnight on Aug. 31 to get something worked out.” The current contract expires Aug. 31. Kwasny said JCEA is still negotiating in good faith but that it is too soon to tell what would happen if no agreement is reached by that date. Board President Ken Witt, who is out of town, responded in a text that the board likely cannot meet before its Aug. 27 study session. He said he appreciated both teams of negotiatiors, and the progress made. “I am confident that the district will continue to represent the best interests of our students,” Witt said.

Golfers urged to get moving Game’s etiquette calls for more than replacing divots By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Two young men walk toward the starter’s booth at the Broken Tee Englewood golf course. One wears jeans and a tank top, the other basketball shorts, also sporting a sleeveless shirt. Neither wears golf shoes. Traditional etiquette would have required them to wear dress pants, or maybe dress shorts, and a collared shirt for the four-hour-plus endeavor ahead of them. While some country clubs still require such formal wear, at many courses, the times have changed — and to take a line from the “Caddyshack” soundtrack, it’s “all right.” “In an industry that is oversupplied and is struggling for rounds, don’t we need to make it more friendly and less stodgy and relax dress codes?” said Ed Mate, executive director of the Colorado Golf Association. “I guarantee you, today there are very few courses that are going to turn customers away regardless of the way they are dressed. People are definitely less patient today. Maybe golf can be a part of the solution. The game is hard and takes a lot of discipline to be successful. That’s always been the case.” While patience is a virtue in the Part 2 of 3 on finding game, many beways to get better lieve the failure at and get more of golfers to pick enjoyment out of golf. up the pace during a round is the biggest violation of etiquette on today’s courses.
RAISING YOUR
GAME
A need for speed
Most golfers know, or should have been taught, that raking bunkers, replacing divots, not stepping in another player’s line on the putting green and repairing ball marks on the green are part of golf etiquette. But perhaps the biggest issue players should monitor is how well they are keeping up with the group ahead of them. “Pace of play is probably the hardest thing on a golf course to control,” said Broken Tee pro shop assistant Joe Pagnotta, who serves as a course ranger three or four times a week. “The easiest way to explain it is there is only one lane of traffic. If the speed limit is 60 and a car is going 40, the ones in front will all still go 60, but the ones
Stepping on the line of another player’s putt is a violation of golf etiquette. Photo illustration
NEED TO KNOW While you probably already know not to yell “miss it” or “Noonan” on the putting green, the following are some other golf-etiquette tips that could spare you the wrath of playing partners. The USGA adopted the “while we’re young” slogan to boost pace of play, and the message is on display near the first hole at South Suburban Golf Course in Centennial. Rose Carroll is on duty as the starter as a group gets set to tee off. behind will go 40. “That’s what happens on the golf course. One group can ruin it for the rest.” Tom Woodard, director of golf for the Foothills Park and Recreation District, emphasizes that slow play is a hazard. “Our game has been stagnant for about a dozen years,” Woodard said. “We’re slowly losing golfers, and we’re not gaining any golfers. The top two reasons people say they don’t play golf is the time it takes and cost.” In the 1980 comedy film “Caddyshack,” Rodney Dangerfield played Al Czervik, who became peeved it was taking so long for a judge, played by Ted Knight, to hit the ball, so he uttered, “Let’s go … while we’re young.” Two years ago, the United States Golf Association adopted “while we’re young” as an initiative to combat slow play.
Stepping up pace
South Suburban Golf Course in Centennial doesn’t employ marshals but has an extra person in the pro shop who tends to any course problems. They have a greeter on the first hole to remind players of golf etiquette and pace of play, and the course has signs that say “while we’re young.” Taking a page from the Denver Broncos’ Peyton Manning, the course also employs signs im-
parting “hurry, hurry.” Several local golf professionals and executives offered tips to speed the pace of play, like hitting from closer tees that are more manageable, playing courses that are not too difficult and engaging “ready golf,” which among other things, could mean ignoring “honors” and letting the first person to the tee box hit first and continue putting instead of marking your ball. “Another thing that has ruined pace of play is television,” Pagnotta said. “Golfers watch TV. The pros are playing for a million dollars, so they need to take their time and do what they do. Out here, you have to play ready golf.” Marshals or rangers, who are on the course to enforce rules like pace of play, can be intimidating to some. “I like it quicker, but I’ve been in groups that have been put on the clock,” said Broken Tee MetaGolf instructor Jason Preeo, who has played in the U.S. Open and coaches the boys team at Valor Christian. “It makes me very uncomfortable.” Rangers don’t bother Stan Wood of Denver, a men’s club member at Broken Tee. “They don’t intimidate me at all,” Wood said. “I’d like to see more of them. I can see how it could affect some players. Most of them are pretty good guys.”
From the ‘King’ A sampling of what Arnold Palmer told Golf Digest in 2008: • Repair the ground you play on, be it the tee, putting green, bunker or fairway. Before you leave a bunker, for example, ask yourself, “Would I be upset if I had to play from that spot?” In other words, replace those divots, fix those ball marks and rake those sand traps. • Be a silent partner. Stand still from the time a player sets up to the time the ball leaves the club. Never stand in the line of play. “When a player is about to hit their shot, think of the fairway as a cathedral, the green a library.” • Turn off the cell phone. Do whatever you have to do to keep the phone quiet. “If you absolutely have to make a call, move away from the other players. And keep the call brief so that they do not even know you made it.” From the PGA Tour A few tips that can be found on pga.com: • From the time you select your club until you actually hit your shot, you should take no more than 30 to 45 seconds. • Don’t step on your fellow players’ putting lines — the imaginary line that connects the ball to the hole. • Don’t hit if there’s a chance your shot might reach the group ahead of you. And if you think there’s even a slim chance the shot you just struck might hit another player, yell “fore” immediately.

A nearby attraction to flock toward One of the nation’s most talented and creative bird and nature teams literally “nests” in our backyard. The Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory (RMBO) is located at the Barr Lake State Park, near Brighton on Lark Bunting Lane in the Old Stone House east of I-76 and north of Bromley Lane. RMBO Executive Director Tammy VerCauteren heads up an enthusiastic and creative staff that has an exciting, educational Ron Hellbusch and hands-on program schedule for OUTDOORS the approaching summer. RMBO programs vary in topSCENE ics and age levels. There literally is something for everyone, whether you are a senior, youth, family, community organization or experienced and interested birder. Most activities require a registration, many are free, others with modest fees. A look at RMBO offerings this spring and summer will whet the appetite of anyone with a nature interest. A birding tour in scenic western Colorado, a Nebraska panhandle tour of Mountain Plovers or a trip with the RMBO steward team in late April to Karval for the Mountain Plover Festival are examples of expanded regional events. While most programs are local, the connection RMBO has with regional and national nature organizations gives an individual, unusual broad opportunities for birding and nature insight and education. Close-in programs include lectures and field trips with staff on such issues as survival and habitat of Colorado grassland songbirds, spring bird banding, threatened sagegrouse habitat issues, tips on managing local land and habitat to increase bird populations, and creating enticing bird feeding, watering and nest habitat in our parks and in our own backyards. The youth summer bird and nature camps have become a very population part of the RMBO agenda. The camps are designed for kids ages 2-17, with younger ages accompanied by parents. A sampling of summer camps include a “Winged Wonders” (Aug. 10-14) and Butterfly Pavilion “Bugabilities” Day Camp (Aug. 3-7) for ages 5-9. Call 303-659-4348 x 15 for information and registration.

Fishing is lure for family time It was my grandfather who planted the seed. Ever since I was old enough to remember, he made sure I had a fishing pole in one hand and some fresh bait in the other. I learned much from the big man with the mustache and weathered face: how to tie a knot, bait a hook or cast a lure into the hidden depths. At first, trapping minnows in the shallow pools or turning small rocks in search of crawfish held my attention, but as time passed, the seed grew and so did my appreciation of the outdoors and fishing. You might say I was “hooked.” When my own children came along it seemed only natural to share this love of nature with them. It took, and soon fishing and other outdoor activities became one of the bonds that tied. Fishing, especially for my sons, was addictive and a very positive influence, particularly during those formative years. To this day, they continue to chase trout, bass, salmon and walleye in Colorado and waters far beyond. And it’s not just my sons. My oldest daughter recently caught a sailfish and several tuna while on vacation. My youngest daughter, too, enjoys taking her family and grandpa to some nearby ponds to wet a line. It’s a family affair. Now it is my grandchildren who are honing their casting skills. Any small pond or stream will do and any fish caught is a real trophy. They are always eager to try their luck, yet still not quite certain what to do when a fish pulls. Video games can wait. “It’s time to go fishing, Papa.” Ah, the seeds we sow! Tony Lane, the former police chief of Castle Rock, is an avid outdoorsman and wildlife photographer.

sciences program has helped her excel and prepare her for work as an X-Ray technician. She said the expansion and medical culture is something current and future students can look forward to at the Arvada campus. “Once the campus expands and they have programs like nursing and phlebotomy here, it will really build that culture,” she said. “There’s some camaraderie that

Red Rocks’ main campus is in Lakewood. Its Arvada campus is at 5420 Miller St. For Ashley Quay, the college’s health
comes along when you’re with the people in the same boat as you — that environment is really going to help people grow.” The expansion, constructed by JHL Constructors, will include a welcome center and coffee shop, a lecture hall, clinic exam rooms, small group rooms, classrooms and a cadaver lab. “More than that, this is creating a brand new learning environment, for not just
Arvada but also Jefferson County,” said Ron Slinger, executive director of the Red Rocks Foundation. Construction is expected to be completed within one year. Opening date is scheduled for fall 2016. “I think the whole neighborhood will be impressed by the type of building that is there,” Haney said. “The neighbors, the city and the county are going to benefit.”
Horsing Continued from Page 10
In these week-long camps, students learn the basic skills and chores necessary to being an equestrian. From grooming, picking hooves and essentials of tacking a horse to how to trot and maneuver obstacles, students gain firsthand experience with a horse. “We partner them (students) together so they have a friend right away, and we pair them with the same horse so they can build a relationship with the horse,” Whitmarsh said. “It builds confidence. They’re (the students) excited and want to trot — they want to be with their horses.” Outside of camps, students like Emily Effertz take their skills to the next level in weekly riding lessons. “I love riding because of having a partner to do something with,” said Emily, 13, from Westminster. “In sports, you have a team, but in horseback riding you build a bond with your horse … they’re amazing.” In lessons, students learn how to take care of their horse, the different techniques of riding styles, and begin to train for competitions and open horse shows, should they desire to progress to that level. Lessons are available at most barns and equestrian centers. Equine therapy lessons are also available at various locations.
SPECIALTY
For those who like to go beyond English and Western riding, specialty groups like the Westernaires or vaulting groups offer riders experiences beyond the arena. “There is a sense of community here that you don’t get in a larger community or city,” said Glenn Keller, executive director of the Westernaires. “It is an opportunity for kids to come learn to ride and learn to do things

smaller, flat saddle, holding it with two hands as he prepares to ride fast or jump over a hurdle. Both styles are taught at barns and centers across the Front Range. Riders can show in Western and English competitions at local, regional and national horse shows. Often, boarding is an option that ensures proper care for their horse. With various stall and run sizes to house the horse, many boarding facilities also offer feeding, wellness care, blanketing services, exercise rides and turnout services. Costs vary, but they run, on average, about $500 per horse per month.

In the volunteer-led organization, parents and former Westernaires train students in aspects of riding including rodeo skills, trick and formal riding, all without the economic cost of owning and training with a horse. “Horse culture is different with every horse specialty,” said Christina Forsyth, a Westernaires mom. “You go through life and experience all these things with your horse — and that’s our story.” Along with the Westernaires, riders can learn how to vault or do gymnastics on the back of a horse. A popular equestrian sport,

In horseback riding, two main styles exist, Western and English. In Western riding, the rider sits on a horned saddle with a pommel and cantle that helps hold in the individual. This style was crafted around the cowboy lifestyle, meant to help them remain secure as they rode to round up their cattle. A slower style, Western riding is also great for trail riding and getting from point A to point B. English riding is faster and incorporates racing, jumping over obstacles and cross country events.

HEARING
Besides showing, boarding and lessons, horseback riders can enjoy a leisurely jaunt on more than 200 miles of open space across Jefferson County. In Jeffco, about 2 percent of open space users are equestrians, who can enjoy a diverse range of rides. Open spaces were specifically created in the 1970s for multiuse and to preserve the area’s agricultural character. Groups such as the Buffalo Bill Saddle Club help organize group rides and events, including parades.

Ripples could spread from soccer splash World Cup win by American women might boost girls’ interest in sport By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Jared Spires, chief operating officer for the Colorado Real soccer club, was in Maui on July 5 when the U.S. women beat Japan 5-2 to win the World Cup soccer championship. “I was fortunate to be in Maui for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, and just to hear all the shouts along the beach when goals were scored was awesome,” said Spires. “I could hear all the different resorts with cheers going up when we scored. It was cool.” But will the United States’ World Cup win
do anything to spark interest in the general public for soccer in America? Soccer is one of the world’s most popular sports. However, in the United State it is a popular sport for mostly the young generation — for a majority of the public, it is only watched during the World Cup or Olympics as a patriotic gesture. “Winning the World Cup does help to an extent,” said Colorado Rush Director of Operations Justin Miller. “But not enough, especially on the women’s side. One, it’s a tad bit slower than the men’s game and, two, there are just more popular faces on the men’s side. “They get all the media, and the kids watch all of that on the men’s side rather than the girls’ side. But the women have an incredible amount of power with other women. So young girls actually have more of a passion to watch older women more than the young men watch the older men.” Spires believes it could take some more
time before overall soccer popularity swells in this country. “It’s a long road to relevancy, and hats off to the women’s team for being fantastic,” he said. “There were three hours of coverage of the parade. I don’t think we’ve seen that kind of coverage before. “There’s a good possibility that we can maintain this momentum, but we might be a generation away. It will take when these kids that are growing up in this generation of loving the sport and have real-life experiences in the sport start having kids. We’re going in the right direction for sure.” Said Mossavian, director of operations and competitive division for the Colorado Storm, feels the American win could be a big help. “I see soccer every day,” Mossovian commented after watching his U12 girls team compete in their first scrimmage. “It’s good for us. It makes us more passionate about the game. For the average Joe that really
doesn’t care, they know about it and talk about it. “So maybe the only impact winning the World Cup will have is a positive one as far as talking negative about soccer. Maybe winning things like this will have an impact on the negative opinions of the game.” The way they women won could also only help. “Success breeds attention,” said Spires of the U.S. grabbing an early 4-1 lead. “And the way they did it. For the casual observer a 5-2 game is exciting. If you watched the first 20 minutes, it squashed your belief of soccer. “Where soccer needs to get to is when that next generation comes through, a more educated fan will come through where they enjoy a small scored game, a 2-0, 2-1 game, and that’s when you will see the sport thrive.”
