Family fun center ready to bounce Trampoline center opens in Westminster By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews. com At Jump City in Westminster everyone will get their fair share of exercise. Whether it’s literally bouncing of the walls, or flying into a foam pit, Jump City allows for a calorie-burning good time. The business, located at 9979 Wadsworth Parkway opened April 5. It is a family center with 8,000 square feet of trampolines, a dodge ball area, laser tag, bouncing castle and foam pit. General manager Jay Lee said he and his two partners chose to open a center like this in Westminster because of the location. “We looked at many places, but chose this because it Jump City in Westminster is a new family fun center provided 8,000 square-feet of trampolines, as well as a dodge ball area, bounce was next to McDonald’s and house and laser tag.

With the help of a $150,000 grant from the Colorado Garden Show, Front Range Community College in Westminster took a big step toward building a state-of-the art greenhouse teaching facility on its campus. The grant is the Andrew Pierce Memorial Grant. “Andrew was a longtime Colorado Garden Show board member and active participant in the grants selection process. Andrew loved plants and appreciated a well-designed landscaped garden,” said Jim Fricke, CGS executive director. “He would be thrilled to know that the 2013 Andrew Pierce Memorial Grant was awarded to FRCC to build a greenhouse teaching facility.” The grant was awarded to the school on April 29 as the largest awarded to one organization from the Colorado Garden Show. “One of our missions is to extend our passion for and knowledge of horticulture into future generations and this greenhouse provides the students of Front Range Community College with handson learning,” Fricke said. “They will get practical experiences on their school’s campus and learn about soil preparation, plant and flower growth in Colorado’s dry climate, temperature control and much more.” The grant is being given in two $75,000 installments. The first portion was awarded this year and the second portion will be awarded next year. To date, the CGS has awarded more than $5.5 million in grant money for horticulture projects and scholarships in Colorado. Front Range president Andy Dorsey is also thrilled about the greenhouse. He said the facility will make a tremendous difference in student learning in almost every horticulture class. With most horticulture students taking classes in the fall, winter and springs months due to summer horticulture jobs, Dorsey said having the ability to work with live plants in the greenhouse will be a real benefit to the curriculum. “Horticulture is a growing industry and the goal of the greenhouse is to simulate what students will see when they leave college and go to work,” he said. “We want our students job-ready and to make a positive difference for their future employer.” The total cost of the greenhouse is estimated at $600,000. Dorsey said additional fundraising is needed to make the greenhouse a reality. By this fall he hopes to have the design of the greenhouse in place. Its location has not been determined, but Dorsey said because of sun exposure, more than likely it will be closer to south side of the main building on the Westminster campus.

Graduates seek to ‘know yourself’ Si “This above all else: to thine own self be true.”— “Hamlet” About 25 years ago, I pictured myself as a leader. All through my schooling, in a variety of roles both inside and outside the classroom, I pictured myself as a person who was going to be at the head of organizations someday. Boy, was I kidding myself. It turns out that that is not my best role. I don’t like making decisions for other people, and leaders have to do that. It turns out that my strengths lie in other areas. Analyzing, over-analyzing, presenting options — these are all things that are in my wheelhouse. Personnel decisions, giving orders — not so much. Which is why, even while I was pursuing my delusions of leadership, somehow I gravitated to roles that would place me in an advisory position. I was my class vice president; I was an associate newsletter editor; perhaps my fa-

vorite role ever was serving as an assistant baseball coach for my best friend. And even today I’m a lot more comfortable seated at a keyboard working my thoughts out on paper than I am making snap decisions and choosing other peoples’ courses of action. It’s taken a long time to let go of the image I had in my head, so that I could just deal with my own reality as it is. I bring this up because this week Jeffco Schools are sending thousands of young men and women out into the world as

certified high school graduates. And among all the pieces of advice they’re going to receive (as we desperately try to get in one last lesson), the most important one that anybody can take to heart is “know yourself.” And that’s not just me spouting off: when my buddy Jay and I were researching our book, that was the single, most important piece of advice we heard from dozens of our friends. You, young graduate, with the entire world in front of you and myriad dreams to choose from, should start your journey to your Perfect Life in front of a mirror. How sad, how frustrating will your life be if the dream you pursue is of being a heart surgeon, but you find out later that the sight of blood makes you queasy? Or if your dream is to be a Navy SEAL, but you really hate the water? You, young graduate, in spite of how we have treated you for the last twelve years of schooling, are a unique, special young

Singing camp features on-stage performance By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com For all of those kids out there who love to sing, a summer camp in Westminster will take that vocal passion to the stage. P’zazz Camp will be 9 a.m. to noon June 3-14. It is focused on the art of singing, teaching kids the basics of vocal production and performance. The camp is open to children ages 9-13 and those interested must audition for the camp, which ends with a complete performance including group and solo songs as well as choreography. “This camp is really for those kids who just love to sing, but have never had the opportunity to perform in a stage setting before,” said choral director Stacey Monahan, a pianist, vocalist and church organist. “It’s a great opportunity for them to just really kind of accomplish something pretty huge this summer and have a lot of fun doing it.” Monahan, who has conducted several children’s choirs in the past, works with Jeannie Card, whose been conducting P’zazz Camps for 10 years. Card is also the current director of P’zazz

Children’s Choir, a youth entertainmentbased choir that performs throughout the year. The two work together to create performances done by the campers. The songs performed are upbeat. “We love to get those kids who can sing, but don’t know what to do with it yet,” Monahan said. “We train them and teach them stage presence and expression and introduce them to vocal sound quality.” Monahan said the two-week camp is a very focused and kids who audition should be able to maintain their attention for three hours. To break up the singing, the campers also design their own T-shirts and create props for their performance. Snacks are provided and campers are encouraged to bring lots of water to rehearsals. The camp will be held at Card’s home located in the north Westminster area. More specific details on the location will be given upon registration. Deadline to register is May 25, and the cost is $200. Scholarships are available. For more information or to register visit https://sites.google.com/site/pzazzcamp, or call 303-466-8275.

New executive director keeps legacy alive By Ashley Reimers

Blue Dolphin Swim School is a family owned business catering to all levels of swimmers. We currently have locations in Broomfield, Westminster and Lafayette. Our 8,000 square foot natatorium is currently under construction in Westminster and will open in the fall of 2013.

Yvonne Fischbach never expected her accounting internship at Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District 27 years ago would eventually lead to the position of executive director. But when the internship became a fulltime position, she was hooked and her love for Hyland Hills only grew from there. Fischbach always aspired to become the next executive director and further into her career at Hyland Hills she made it her goal. Fischbach took on her new role in January after longtime executive director Greg Mastriona retired. She comes from the accounting world overseeing the accounting department at Hyland Hills. When she started years ago she didn’t know much about the district, she had just been to Water World. But immediately she knew she was in the right place. “When I started I just fell into it and absolutely loved it,” she said. “I love the fact that there is always something new. Even though accounting seems so boring, here it’s never boring.” Mastriona, who was with the district for 43 years, started considering retirement four years ago and the position for deputy director opened up in order to prepare the next executive director. Up against many other competitors, Fischbach was given the job and promoted to deputy director. She started working closing with Mas-

triona, developing a strong rapport. She says Mastriona is an unbelievable mentor allowing her to get involved in many aspects of the district. “I always told Greg that I would either work for him or replace him,” she said. “He embodied everything Hyland Hills was and I think that’s what he’s developed in me. I couldn’t have asked for a better situation.” Fischbach said she hopes to continue Mastriona’s legacy of making the district the best there is to offer.

She’s working with staff on a 10-year master plan on future projects hoping to expand the services and enhance the facilities in the district. She considers the district a leader in the recreation industry and she plans to keep it that way. “We want to be at the top of the list. We want to be the best,” she said. “I have a great staff and a wonderful board of directors. It is nothing but a team process, and I consider myself part of this team and it’s a wonderful one to be a part of.”

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com A new program being incorporated in Adams County School District 50’s 12 elementary schools is teaching students the game of golf. Star tingNewAtGolf, SNAG, is a youth learning program that uses ageappropriate equipment to teach children how to play the game. It began as a recreational program in the Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District in 2011, but is now being offered to students for free by employees of the district. Allen Brown, director of golf for the district, said with the demographics of District 50, golf is a sport that most kids in the district don’t have the opportunity to play because it takes a lot of time and money. With SNAG, golf is now becoming an accessible sport for more students. Brown said not only will the students have the opportunity to learn a new and fun sport, but also learn other skills and lessons.

Hyland Hills recreation superintendent Joe DeMers works with students at F.M. Day Elementary teaching them how to play golf using a program called StartingNewAtGolf, SNAG. The program is being implemented into Adams County School District 50 schools this spring and next fall to teach students the game of golf.

teaches with plastic colorcoded clubs, balls that resemble a tennis ball and bright-colored targets — all SNAG equipment. The kids attempt to hit the middle of the target practicing their putting, chipping and driving skills. “We can set different obstacles the kids have to try to go over or around, it’s really neat,” she said. “And when a kid takes a swing and the ball goes where they want it to, it’s just so beautiful. They get excited and so does the group behind them, who are cheering for them.” The district received the SNAG grant in 2011. The program is a teaching tool for beginners learning how to play golf. The students don’t actually play a round of golf, but use the equipment to learn how to play the game. “I want to provide a facility for kids that is designed with the proper yardages, greens and hazards,” he said. “A place where kids are playing golf on a course, keeping score and measuring their own progress. Then using that as part of a ladder to get to our other courses.”

Gov. Hick signs mental health bills Jefferson Center for Mental Health hosts signing By Clarke Reader

Gov. John Hickenlooper – surrounded by mental health advocates and legislators – signs SB13-266 and HB13-1296 into law on May 16. SB13-266 creates a coordinated behavioral health crisis response and HB13-1296 creates the civil commitment statute review task force. Photo by Clarke Reader bill in the senate,” said Nicholson. “We finally have the funding we’ve waited for years and years.” Mental health groups and advocates from Jeffco and surrounding counties were all present to see the two bills signed, since they will benefit mental health facilities statewide. “There’s been a lot of work put into the building of a crisis system that doesn’t have boundaries,” Hall said. “It’s a great thing for the state, and now we have a lot more work to do to carry it out.” Lorraine Bowen, who sits on the Jefferson Center board of directors,

was at the signing with her son, David, a mental health consumer. “I’m so glad leaders were able to come together to set up the crisis system, and we’ll definitely make good use of it,” Lorraine said. “Cooperation is a key part of this, since almost everyone has been touched by the issue.” David said that finding new sources of income to help people is extremely important, especially for an issue like this. “It’s really good for the community,” he said. “It gives people a chance to get help when its necessary.”

‘I think it’s fair to say nobody feels warm and fuzzy about the name ‘Beltway.’’’ Maria Garcia Berry, CRL Chief Executive John Putnam, special counsel to the city of Golden, said he would anticipate CDOT officials signing the agreement in “months, but not many months.” He cautioned city officials that the agreement could be tossed out by future CDOT or Golden city councils. “The ultimate protection for the city is to put some of those items in place in plans and in concrete,” Putnam said. Golden has already taken two steps in that direction. The council approved $150,000 for preliminary design engineering on portions of the new plan. The city also applied for some of CDOT’s Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnership (RAMP) funding to help bring the agreed-upon plan into existence, beginning with improvements to the U.S. 6 and 19th

Beltway efforts

At the county level, meetings concerning the $750,000 Western Beltway study have continued. At the county’s May 14 meeting the three Jeffco commissioners talked with Western Beltway Study’s project manager Lee Kellar, who is with the firm Parsons Brinckerhoff. The beltway meeting included a review of initial RAMP applications, which contained requests for several sections of the planned beltway ramp. CDOT is scheduled to report back to Golden and Jeffco on May 31 about which projects had been narrowed down for final consideration of funding. The county meeting also included a report from public relations firm CRL Associates regarding outreach efforts with the public and elected officials, done as part of the Western Beltway study. “I think it’s fair to say nobody feels warm and fuzzy about the name ‘Beltway,’” CRL Chief Executive Maria Garcia Berry said, sparking off a brief discussion about the project’s future “branding.” Kellar also distributed draft visuals from the beltway study, showing the entire proposed route, including the future Jefferson Parkway, and associated interchanges. “Everything in Golden’s plan is included, verbatim,” Kellar said.

The mood was celebratory at the Jefferson Center for Mental Health on May 16 as Gov. John Hickenlooper signed two mental health bills into law. “The Jefferson Center is proud to host the signing for these bills,” said Harriet Hall, Center president and chief executive officer. “This is place where we truly believe that recovery is possible and treatment works.” The governor signed SB13-266 — Coordinated Behavioral Health Crisis Response — and HB13-1296 — Civil Commitments Task Force — with sponsors Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp (DArvada), Rep. Dave Young (D-Greeley) and Sen. Jeanne Nicholson (D-Blackhawk) on hand as well. “Almost anyone you talk to today has a story about mental health issues or is connected to someone who has dealt with them,” Hickenlooper said. “These bills are the first step to building a system that will be able to help everyone who needs it.” All three sponsors spoke, sharing stories about the hard work that went into getting these bills passed, and their own experiences trying to help those with mental health issues. “I am honored to have been the prime sponsor for the crisis response

As the tassels turn, students punch their tickets The book “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” by Dr. Seuss is often gift-wrapped by well-wishers and then unwrapped by graduates. The title is suitably upbeat for a celebration. After all, the line that follows “Oh, the places you’ll go!” is “There is fun to be done.” Later the story reads, “KID YOU’LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!” We appreciate the spirit of the season. Graduation commencements are so fun, and the rows of students all look so brilliant. “You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have the speed. You’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead,” the book assures us. But we take a moment to pause and remind the graduates — younger students take note — that the book also states, “You will come to a place where the streets are not marked,” and “When you are alone, there’s a very good chance you’ll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.” So students of all ages, tighten your

OUR VIEW belts and prepare well. About 40 percent of Colorado’s high school class of 2011 needed remedial courses, although down from 41 percent the year before. And at four-year-level schools in the state, the retention rate for students not assigned to remediation was 79 percent, compared with 60 percent for those needing remediation. That’s not good, and it costs money — a lot of money. The estimated cost associated with remedial courses was about $58 million in 2011-12, with the state’s share at $19 million, according to the Colorado Department of Higher Education 2012 Legislative Report on Remedial Education executive summary.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

What is the importance of better mental health services? At Gov. John Hickenlooper’s bill signing for two major mental health bills, we asked people why improving mental health services is important.

One-fifth of people in Colorado have a mental health issue, and so it is important that we get them a lot of services. Alan Girard

People are in need of services in all communities. Scott Glasser

Critics can say by the time students have graduated from high school they have already gone a lot of “places” — academically — compared with other countries, such as China, where electives are fewer and core skills are stronger. The world doesn’t wait for everyone to be road ready or then provide a smooth ride. So to the students who have a good idea of a place they want to go, we encourage them to follow their ambitions without reservation. To the rest, don’t be swayed by the notion that there is this vast amusement park of career fields to sample after high school before committing. Instead consider making a choice with 4G speed, and don’t back away from your instincts by the idea that you might not want to stay in that chosen field for a lifetime. The somewhat questionable general statistic that the average American will experience seven careers in a lifetime can be comforting or disturbing — depending on your point of view. We say ignore

Shame on the sheriffs All the gun control related state legislation from the recent 2013 legislative session has brought out the polarization of people’s thinking. There doesn’t seem to be a middle ground in any of the various legislative bills which were passed by the Democrats who control both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This past week 54 of the Colorado sheriffs came together in filing a federal lawsuit attacking 2 of the bills which have been approved. They are the 15 round limitation on magazines and the requirement of background checks for all firearms transfers and sales.

ROLE OF ELECTED SHERIFFS It is important because we need people to do more integration with the physical aspect of health care. Ana Jones

A lot of people are in need of treatment, but the stigmata about it makes it difficult to go get it. Liz Ury

it, dig into a direction and dig in. Do your best to see that your courses are accountable to provide the training for the needed skill sets and the knowledge to understand the changing world. Learn as much as you can, and be competitive in earning door-opening good grades. So that’s our skinny to students on their journeys. And a final thought — in contrast to “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” which has the words “you” or “your” more than 100 times — the future can be less selfcentric and involve a direction to help someone or to seek an important answer. The words of neurologist Viktor Frankl, author of “Man’s Search of Meaning,” sometimes find their way into some of our favorite commencement speeches. “Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual,” he wrote. Oh, the people you can help.

What is particularly offensive with the filing of this lawsuit seeking a judicial declaration that both pieces of legislation are unconstitutional is a group of elected law enforcement officials taking such an initiative. I thought we elected county sheriffs to enforce the laws of the State of Colorado, not to attack or refuse to enforce them. It seems they have taken it upon themselves to re-define their role. What is especially telling in this action are the “partners” which the county sheriffs chose to “cowboy up” with. Groups like the Independence Institute, an ultraconservative Colorado think tank officed in Golden, National Shooting Sports Foundation, Colorado Farm Bureau and the Eriebased ammunition magazine manufacturer, which has vowed to leave Colorado, to name a few. It makes me wonder who is the true “ring leader” in this legal action. Regardless, I find it to be inappropriate for elected law enforcement personnel to take the lead in fighting legislation that they don’t like and say they will not enforce. Where does it say the sheriffs get to pick and choose which laws they will or will not enforce?

LET OTHERS DO THE BIDDING

The sheriffs state that people’s 14th and

2nd Constitutional Amendments are being violated by the two pieces of legislation. Well, fine and dandy, but why not let the Independence Institute or the National Rifle Association take on the legal challenge. I don’t recall other times when Colorado sheriffs felt so outraged to take legal action to speak on behalf of their constituents one way or the other. Let’s find out once and for all whether these gun control laws are constitutional and get on with our lives. I wonder who is paying for this U.S. District Court lawsuit. I bet the Independence Institute is either paying most or all of it. And the sheriffs got duped into being their shill.

ERROR BY THE DEMS

The one statement that the sheriffs’ group made at their press conference with which I would concur is that the Democrats did not seek their input on the various gun control bills. Regardless of where legislators thought the sheriffs would stand, they should have been consulted. Legislators have asked for their input in the past on similar related legislative proposals. This shortcoming is indicative of the down side when one political party (either Democrats or Republicans) has control of both legislative houses. We have seen the “over the top” work of such control in the past at both the state and federal levels and it is not in the best interest of all concerned.

Bill Christopher is former city manager of Westminster and used to represent District J on the RTD board of directors.

Spring sprung; saving roses s

Remember that rhyme we used to say. It goes like this “Spring has sprung, the grass is ‘riz, I wonder ses where the flowers is.” ng By all accounts it has been a late wl- spring, the trees are budding again for rld. the third time and the iris never really m- did recover with many flowers. d I got serious about getting the place in shape last Saturday. Our daughter, Nancy, a master gardener and a workaholic, came out to with a carload of beautiful orange geraniums and filler plants and filled four lovely big buckets for our front f- porch. And when she said she was p able to help more, we went to work on wer. my rose garden (she did the work and I did the supervising and the iced tea ean- deliveries). ome ches. It was terrible A couple of summers ago our r to daughters, Mary and Kate, decided hich (when Bob and I were out-of-town) ” he they were sick and tired of trying to keep the weeds out of the rose garden so they labored to lay down weed fabric that was supposed to allow for the oxygen and the moisture to be contained while keeping out the weeds. Within weeks I saw my healthy rose plants start to not look so good. I didn’t do anything for those couple of

years but overwater them. Remember it was the severe drought too and I slacked off on all my gardening. To make a long story short, I saw my 29 rose bushes deteriorate. Now come spring a couple have died and a couple more look like they’re going to. Now I sprung into action and after calling Paulino Gardens they told me to get rid of that non-porous black fabric. So Nancy and I began the task of ripping it and the sour, very wet dirt under it out. We filled five huge garbage cans with the stuff that was making our roses “sick”. We took out all the dirt and red wood chip mulch. Now I’m going to let the remaining soil get plenty of air and sun before I do any more fixing. Of course the two girls thought they were being helpful in dealing

with all the bind weed, aspen sprouts and trumpet vine seedlings. Instead we nearly killed the roses. It may well be that some roses will not survive. We’ll see! Anyway the lesson learned is to ask your nursery folks for advice and then take it. Meantime I’m going to give those roses tender loving care and see if they can recover. It’s going to take a lot of Aleve for Nancy — and my back to recover — to wait until the trash people get a gander of those five huge trash containers. Wow!

The exciting thing about UCCS is that there’s always something different happening on campus. There are so many ways to get involved and that’s what changed my life. Before I joined the Asian Pacific Islander Student Union I wasn’t very social. Now I’ve made unbelievable friends and had experiences I wouldn’t trade anything for.

Adventures in your

Summer program encourages park explorations By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com

ummer in Colorado is a time for taking advantage of the countless parks and outdoor amenities the state has to offer, and Lakewood is inviting visitors and residents alike to enjoy the city’s parks. From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 1, at Addenbrooke Park, 600 S. Kipling Parkway, the city, partnered with Kaiser Permanente, is kicking off this year’s “Passports to the Park Challenge —12 parks in 12 weeks.” Outdoor enthusiasts are encouraged to walk, run, bike or play in as many parks as they can in the 12-week period that runs from through August. Registration is $8 and includes a passport with information on the 12 parks, Tshirt and map of Lakewood’s parks. “This is a program we’ve had before, but it was called ‘Walk Lakewood,’” said Polly Zimmerman, fitness specialist with Lakewood. “We have around 70 parks in Lakewood, and we want to inspire people to visit other parks aside from just their neighborhood ones.” According to Allison Scheck, marketing and community relations administrator, the 12 parks that were chosen are

backyards

spread out throughout the city, to show the diversity of options for outdoor enthusiasts. “We want people to know no matter what you’re looking for — from short loops for runs to long trails — we have a park that will fit,” Scheck said. New to this year’s program is a passport for children, which Scheck said has some more information and activity ideas for children who visit the parks. The activities include games like nature scavenger hunts. The parks don’t have to be visited in any particular order, and since each park is different, including its layout and amenities, visitors are encouraged to really explore each park. “There are so many ways to connect with the outdoors, and we want to provide some examples for people who want to experience them,” Scheck said. Another part of the program is the city’s and Kaiser’s celebration of July as National Park and Recreation month with Fitness in the Park. From 9 to 10 a.m. on each Saturday in July, a free class will be taught at the Bonfils-Stanton Ampitheater at the Lakewood Heritage Center, 801 S. Yarrow St. July 6 is zumba, July 13 is yoga, July 20 is tai chi and July 27 is a special family program featuring zumba and zumbatonic for children. “Kaiser is a big sponsor of the fitness events in the park,” Zimmerman said. “We want to get people out and active as

CNN Travel recently ranked beer towns in the U.S., and deemed Denver as No. 5. Now, we could argue with that — especially considering that our governor helped put this cow town on the beer map — but national exposure is all good. Here’s what CNN had to say: “The history of beer in the United States is a rich one dating back to the colonies, when soldiers were paid in spruce beer and cider. From there, beer weathered a Revolution, Prohibition and a right turn at Albuquerque before positively exploding with deregulation of the industry through the early 1980s. “Ever since, Americans have been sampling, celebrating and sophisticating the unofficial national beverage in ways previously unimaginable and it seems nearly every town’s gotten into the act. “But not all cities are carbonated equal. Some have begun to take beer personally, innovating its craft and consumption and throwing festivals to honor the finest ales and lagers — creating a blueprint for the rest of the country to follow. Still others have been doing this all along.” To check out the story, go to cnn.com and enter “best beer towns” in the search bar.

Memorial to be dedicated

The Colorado Freedom Memorial in Aurora is soon to be dedicated to Colorado and the nearly 6,000 Colorado Gold Star Families whose loved ones make up the memorial’s roll call. Beginning with the Gold Star Concert on May 25, and carrying through to the Home with Honor Dedication on May 26, the Colorado Freedom Memorial will proudly stand in honor of those who gave all in service to their country. The dedication weekend events that are open to the public include: The Gold Star Concert from 5 to 7 p.m. May 25, celebrating “Heroic Lives” with performances by the 101st Army Band, Face Vocal Band and Mollie Weaver on The Great Lawn at the Aurora Municipal Building, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway. Tickets are limited and available at www.militaryevents.us/rsvp using event code: CFM. On May 26 at 2 p.m., the dedication will begin with the arrival of the dedication processions at the memorial. The procession will include a horse-drawn caisson, full military honors, representatives from each branch of the military, VIPs and Colorado Gold Star Family representatives. The dedication ceremony will feature VIP guest speakers, representatives of Colorado’s legislative delegation, honor guard and color posting, a wreath-laying ceremony, bird release and performances by the 101th Army Band. The dedication ceremony is open to the public, and will be held at the Colorado Freedom Memorial/Springhill Community Park, 756 N. Telluride St., Aurora.

eteran and rookie gardeners got their hands dirty Saturday preparing plots at the new Anythink Wright Farms library community garden. This new garden at 5877 E. 120th Ave. in Thornton is just one of many that are sprouting up across the Denver area. Tough economic times, a desire to eat healthier and a push for locally-grown produce have all contributed to the increase, said Abbie Harris, development and communications coordinator with Denver Urban Gardens (DUG). “In 2007 and 2009 (there) was

Weeks

(a) period of time we saw a big explosion in interest in what we do,” she said. “People were becoming more aware of what they were eating and where it was coming from — at the same time the economy took a downturn.” DUG has provided technical assistance to community gardens since the mid-1980s. It operates 127 gardens in the metro area, with 12 more gardens slated to open this year.

find a community garden Denver Urban Gardens supports more than 125 community gardens throughout the metro area. With the exception of a small number of gardens that serve specific communities, DUG community gardens are open to the public. To join a DUG community garden, call 303292-9900 or email dirt@dug.org the name of the garden you’re interested in and DUG officials will provide contact information. This is a list of DUG-only gardens that are open to the public: Arvada • Arvada Mennonite Community Garden, 5927 Miller St. • Rose Roots Community Garden, 84th Street and Alkire Street Golden • Applewood Community Garden, 12930 W. 32nd Ave.

• Golden Community Garden, 1506 8th St. Lakewood • The Belmar Community Garden at The Learning Source, 455 S. Pierce St. • Gray Street Community Garden, Gray Street & West Third Avenue • H.O.P.E Garden Community Lakewood, Taft Street & Colfax Avenue (This is a shared garden. This garden is open to the community, but there are no individual plots.) • Ute Trail Community Garden - 13130 W. Jewell Ave. Thornton • Anythink Wright Farms, 5877 E. 120th Ave. Westminster • Allison Gardens at Semper Farm, northwest corner of 92nd Avenue & Pierce Street • Westminster Community Garden, 72nd Avenue between Raleigh Street & Bradburn Boulevard

“We went from just adding a couple gardens — maybe five a year — up until 2008,” Harris said. “Now we build up to 10 to 20 gardens a year and that’s not slowing down. We have been growing a lot in Adams and Jefferson counties the past few years.” Harris said DUG is seeing the most growth in Jefferson County. “Just a couple years ago we only had a couple gardens (there), now we have 19 with more coming,” she said. There are nine DUG supported gardens in Adams County, with two more opening this year. One of those new gardens is at Anythink Wright Farms, which has 28 plots. This is the third community garden at an Anythink library location. Commerce City and Perl Mack community gardens both have around 20 plots and are in their third year. “We have this land, people want to garden — so why wouldn’t we?” said Ronnie Storey-Ewoldt, public services director at Anythink. “It’s about education and more than anything else, with the gardens and the libraries, it’s about making a connection with the community.” She said she wasn’t sure how the garden concept at Wright Farms would be received at first, but all the plots were quickly reserved and paid for. Christine Gallegos, a 27-year Thornton resident and Anythink Wright Farms employee, immediately signed up for a plot at her

It’s an exciting experience I think I will enjoy.” The guidelines for the Anythink community libraries are: a gardener must pay an annual fee between $30-40 for water costs, have seeds planted by June 1, commit to water their garden, use organic practices and put the plot to bed by mid-October. A gardener in good standing with the garden will get a plot the following year. People interested in a plot can contact the individual li-

braries and be put on a waiting list. Storey-Ewoldt said she does not think the other four Anythink libraries had enough space to support a garden. Mapleton Public Schools Community Garden at Skyview Campus, 8990 York St. in Thornton, is in its second year of operation. The garden is operated by the district and community members. There are 42 plots, and half of those are designated for students. “Our community garden at the Skyview Campus provides our students with hands-on learning experiences and opportunities for collaboration, while also helping them to give back to the community,” said Superintendent Charlotte Ciancio.

is participating on Golf Channel’s reality show “Big Break.” And, after the airing of just one show (May 13), Talley already has seen an elevated level of fame. “I posted that I was going to be on the show on Facebook and it was the most response I have ever had,” Talley said. “I don’t think I could say I’m getting married and get that much response. But it’s fun, you see how many people love the show, how many people are rooting for you. “A lot of people you don’t know connect with you on a TV show, you have a lot of people rooting for you,” Talley said. “Maybe I made them laugh or maybe they felt my frustration.” “Big Break,” which was filmed at an Iberostar resort about 45 minutes south of Cancun in Mexico, airs at 7 p.m. Mondays on the Golf Channel. Last July, Talley heard she had made the first round of cuts and would be brought in for an interview. But it wasn’t until November that she heard anything. She was at the Arizona State Open when she got a call saying that she had made it to the third round of interviews. Then after missing her LPGA card by

three strokes at the third stage of qualifying school, she got the call that would change her life. “You don’t hear anything forever,” Talley said. “I had a feeling they were waiting for Stage 3 to be over, because if you do well there, you have your card, you don’t need your Big Break.” It was then another six weeks before she would leave for the filming of the show, which took 3½ weeks.But it wasn’t all margaritas and birdies. “It was a stressful situation,” Talley said. “But it was some of the best fun I’ve ever had. We had to get up at 4:30 a.m. every morning, we were mic’d up by 5 and by the time we were at the course, had the competitions, it was 5 p.m. before we were back. We’d all have dinner together and then you’re shooting interviews until midnight, and then you do it all over again. But when it’s something like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, your body just figures out how to cope with it.”

piz enjoys pizazz of seeing Stanley Cup Cancer stricken teenager lives out dream of lifting cup By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com ARVADA — Touching the Stanley Cup made for a great moment for Logan Piz, who is experiencing the ups and downs of fighting cancer. “This has been the best day of my life,” Piz said. “And what makes it even better is I have the opportunity to share it with everybody.” The 13-year-old, diagnosed in November 2012 with a form of bone cancer that primarily affects children and adolescents, was surprised with the NHL’s Stanley Cup at the Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children on May 15. Make-A-Wish, Discover, the NHL and the hospital teamed up and granted Piz his wish of spending the day with the Stanley Cup and sharing it with his family, friends and teammates. After the initial Stanley Cup surprise, Logan was taken by limousine to APEX Hockey Arena where tears of nearly 500 people soaked the packed bleachers as he suited up and skated around the rink one Logan Piz carries the Stanley Cup with his teammates surrounding him.

This is definitely one of those good days,” Russ Hewitt, Logan’s grandfather said. “This is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity.” During his speech, Piz honored 14-yearold Ian Tuttle, an Arvada teenager who lost his battle with cancer last month. “Ian has been a big inspiration of mine.

During hockey games, he said he was short-shifting himself as he needed to come off of the ice because he was winded. An X-ray revealed a large chest tumor, a rare case of Ewing’s sarcoma. But after surgery and chemotherapy, Logan’s doctors say his prognosis is now good. Piz said his next goal is to play for Ralston Valley, the reigning state champions.

Rock Canyon ends Legacy’s season in state semifinals After falling behind in the first inning the Tigers scored three runs in the second inning and then added four more in the fourth inning. However, on Friday Holy Family (19-4, 12-3) will need a complete effort if they want to slay the dragon that is Eaton Reds baseball. Eaton is a perfect 23-0 this season and the reigning 3A baseball state champions.

Holy Family baseball advances; state track results posted By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com DENVER — The storm is over and the Lightening has finally been stopped. No. 2 Legacy girls’ soccer had their run at a state championship end in the semifinals by No. 3 Rock Canyon in a 2-0 loss Saturday at All-City Field. Rock Canyon senior Erin Webb and junior Kaycie Young each scored first-half goals and the Jaguars used an unbreakable defensive effort to hold off the Lightening. But that loss certainly won’t define Legacy’s otherwise spectacular season. En route to the final four Lightening (16-3, 10-1) beat No. 31 Adams City 3-0, No. 15 Rocky Mountain 2-1 and then No. 10 Cherry Creek 2-1. During the regular season Legacy was a perfect 7-0 in games they hosted and they won the Class 5A Front Range league title. The Lightening were led by junior Kelsey Killean this season. She scored 13 goals and added six assists. Killean and senior Lauren Cook (four goals, 12 assists) were the nucleus for Legacy offensively.

Jeffco track teams leave their mark on championship By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com GREELEY — Those calling this season a “down” year for Jefferson Country track and field programs aren’t paying close enough attention. There were plenty of Jeffco storylines scattered all over the 2013 CHSAA Track & Field State Championships Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Jeffco Stadium. Winning the 5A boys team title was Cherokee Trail with a score of 74.5 and the best 5A girls team was Cherry Creek with a team score of 86. The best 4A boys team was Vista Ridge with a score of 80 and the best 4A girls team was Niwot with a 70 score. But breathing down those team’s necks were several Jeffco schools. Ralston Valley (16 team points), Pomona (six) and Bear Creek (three) all left their mark on the 5A boys’ side of the meet, while Lakewood (18 team points) and Arvada West (15) scored points on the 5A girls’ side. In 4A Jeffco, Wheat Ridge (eight team

points), Alameda (three) and Arvada (two) scored for the boys and Golden (18 team points) and D’Evelyn scored for the 4A girls. “I think Ralston Valley has an underrated team and I think we showed that this season,” Ralston Valley senior Keenan Gibson said. Gibson went from not qualifying for state last season to finishing fifth in the 400-meter dash on Saturday. “It is my senior year, I wanted to work as hard as possible and leave it all out there,” Gibson said. Lakewood senior Maddie Ivy came out of nowhere and left her mark at the championship meet. Ivy was an up-and-coming track star as a freshman who had her prep career derailed because of concussions. However, Ivy gave track one more run and after dominating one week previously at Jeffco’s league championships she ran to a ninth place finish in the 1600-meter run in 5:09.61. “I thought things went really well. I wanted to really push myself and see what I was capable of,” Ivy said. Ivy also finished eighth in the 3,200-meter run in 11:00.96.

THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER ORDAINS: Section 1. The 2013 appropriation for the General Capital Improvement Fund initially appropriated by Ordinance No. 3655 is hereby increased by $190,530. This appropriation is due to the receipt of a contribution of $50,000 from Colorado Garden and Home Show and a contribution of $140,530 from the Westminster Legacy Foundation for the Jessica Ridgeway Memorial Park. Section 2. The $190,530 increase in the General Capital Improvement Fund shall be allocated to City Revenue and Expense accounts as described in the City Council Agenda Item 10 C-F dated May 13, 2013 (a copy of which may be obtained from the City Clerk) amending City fund budgets as follows: General Capital Improvement Fund $190,530 Total $190,530 Section 3 – Severability.
