Rally for Hudak-backed gun bill Bill seeks to remove guns from domestic violence situations By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com State lawmakers who were instrumental in crafting gun-related domestic violence legislation this year spoke at a Capitol rally on Oct. 26, in hopes of bringing awareness to crimes against women. The event, which honored Domestic Violence Awareness Month, highlighted a Colorado law that stemmed from this year’s passage of Senate Bill 197, which makes it more difficult for domestic violence offenders to own or transfer a gun. “We’re here to celebrate the successful passage of the bill, but more importantly we’re getting a message out that we have a law, and that people can be protected and they don’t have to cower at home in fear,” Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster said prior to the event. Hudak sponsored the legislation, along with fellow Democratic lawmakers who also spoke at the event, Reps. Beth McCann of Denver and Rhonda Fields of Aurora. Prior to Gov. John Hickenlooper signing the bill into law in June, there had already been a law on the books that prohibited domestic violence abusers from having guns. The new law puts in place a process

by which state courts ensure that offenders relinquish their weapons. Those who receive court-imposed protection orders must relinquish their weapons and ammunition for the duration of their court order. They can do so either through legitimate gun sales or transfers, or through temporary relinquishment to law enforcement. The law also applies to offenders who are convicted of domestic violence cases. The rally also served as a call for more domestic violence-related policy action. In front of those who spoke, there sat nine chairs that were covered in women’s clothing, which symbolized the number of women who are killed each week as a result of gun violence. Senate Bill 197 was one of a handful of Democrat-sponsored gun bills that became law this year. The legislation did not receive any support from Republican lawmakers. Hudak’s rally appearance comes at a time when there is an organized effort to oust her from office over her votes on gun bills, as a group is in the process of collecting signatures in hopes of forcing a recall election. “Whatever price has to be paid, this bill is the accomplishment of my life,” Hudak said of the recall effort. “And it’s something I’ve wanted to do for so many years and finally found a way to get it done.”

Beth McCann of Denver, left, and Rhonda Fields of Aurora, as she speaks at a Capitol rally on Oct. 26, in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Election Day on Tuesday Mail-in ballots can be dropped off by 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5. Drop-off locations are listed in the voter ballot packets and include the Jeffco Administrative and Courts Building 100 Jefferson County Parkway, Suite 2560. Voter service and polling centers in Jeffco opened Oct. 21. For more information about voting, visit http://jeffco.us/elections/ Please visit ourcoloradonews.com on election night and the following day for coverage.

Another step forward to the development of the Westminster Center was made during Monday night’s city council meeting. A unanimous vote approved a zoning change to Planned Unit Development, PUD for the former Westminster mall site. The new rezoning ordinance establishes the PUD rezone for the entire 108-acre site and amends the existing zoning from a combination of PUD and C-1 zoning to exclusively PUD. “A PUD zoning sets up flexibility for zoning and design purposes to allow for cohesive development for the Westminster Center,” said Westminster planning manager Mac Cummins. Council also unanimously approved the Preliminary Development Plan for the downtown Westminster Planned Unit Development. This approval allows for a mix of land uses, public parks and plazas and allows for multi-modal circulation. “We have the right plan going forward now and now we can just let it grow on its own,” councilor Scott Major said. In September, residents had the opportunity to view the draft plan for the Westminster Center during two open houses. The plans include multi-story office and Center continues on Page 13

Cities eye uses for pot sales tax revenue Use of Proposition AA pot revenue debated in cities By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Could drug money fund a safe house for abused children in Northglenn, or pay for much-needed road projects in Wheat Ridge? If Proposition AA passes next week, a chunk of the state revenue that will be generated by marijuana sales next year will go to the cities that allow retail pot businesses to operate. That has some city officials dreaming up ways that the money could be spent in their municipalities. But whether that revenue results in a windfall or merely a drop in the bucket remains to be seen. Prop AA will ask voters to support a 25 percent tax on retail pot sales that were made legal across the state, as a result of last year’s passage of Amendment 64. The taxes — which will only affect those who actually purchase the drug — will be a 15 percent excise tax and a 10 percent retail tax on each transaction. The first $40 million collected through the Prop AA excise tax will go toward public school construction, while much of the retail taxes will fund regulation of the new industry. Cities that allow retail pot sales will see some revenue, as well. That’s because the

ballot measure ensures that 15 percent of the retail pot taxes that are collected by the state will be funneled to those municipalities. The revenue will be based on each city’s percentage of pot sales. The prospect of “found money” coming into those cities has led to some discussion on how the potential revenue could end up being spent. During a study session earlier this month, members of the Northglenn City Council — which voted in September to allow retail pot sales, becoming the first city in Adams County to do so — discussed ways that it could end up spending the money. Council members talked about using the revenue to fund road projects, as well as possibly stashing the money away for now, without earmarking the dollars. The council decided to table the discussion until the city has a better grip on how much money they’ll actually end up getting. Northglenn Mayor Joyce Downing said one option would be to use the funds to renovate a building that would serve as a new facility for Ralston House, which provides services for abused children and families. Downing said this could be a way for the community to come together on pot sales, a contentious subject. “I’m really trying to be very positive because it’s such an issue for a lot of folks,” Downing said. “It would be great to, in a positive manner, say to the community that we can use the money for Ralston House,

or to pave additional streets or build a new recreation center.”

Windfall or minimal impact?

Wheat Ridge City Council also voted to allow retail pot stores. Mayor Jerry DiTullio said that he doesn’t expect a “windfall” for the city, simply because zoning is structured in a way that won’t allow more than five retail stores to operate. Still, the mayor does see the potential for green in marijuana sales, especially since Wheat Ridge and Edgewater are the only Jefferson County cities that have voted to allow stores to operate, so far. “If we’re the only Jeffco city besides Edgewater allowing that, then we may see a large amount of sales at those locations,” DiTullio said. “If we’re the convenient place for Jeffco, then those five stores should get a lot of business.” And Wheat Ridge could use whatever money it gets. Next year’s proposed city budget includes capital project spending that will require the city to dip into savings. And DiTullio recently vetoed an ordinance that would have put a sales and use tax hike on the ballot, which would have pumped more money into the city’s general fund. But Wheat Ridge City Manager Patrick Goff isn’t optimistic. “It’d only be a guess at this time, but I think it’s going to be fairly minimal to the city,” Goff said of potential marijuana revenue. “Any increase in revenue sources is a positive for the city, but I can’t imagine it’s going to be in the millions.”

Meanwhile, Lakewood officials are still trying to figure out whether they’re going to allow retail marijuana stores. Earlier this week, the city council voted to extend its moratorium on pot sales through February 2015. “There are questions that need sorted out,” said Lakewood City Manager Kathy Hodgson. “Do we impose a local tax on it too? We haven’t even deliberated that yet. From our perspective, there are too many unknowns. So let’s pause for a moment and proceed cautiously.” Still, Hodgson acknowledges that the majority of voters in all five of the city’s wards voted for Amendment 64. “So, the question is, how does the council reconcile that?” she said. But Councilman Dave Wiechman, who is running for reelection, is flatly opposed to allowing retail pot sales in the city and insisted that any revenue the city might end up collecting would be minimal. “Probably a few million dollars,” Wiechman said. “We have a budget of over 100 million, so I don’t see it as being a major impact, and I weigh it against the regulation cost and health impact.” Wiechman also said that allowing pot sales in Lakewood “kind of reminds me of gambling in Central City.” “Everybody thought it would be the greatest thing,” he said. “Instead, we have a mini Las Vegas. It’s no longer a historic town; it’s kind of like a bastardization.” “We’re too busy getting the money and not focusing on potential adverse impacts.”

Land-use plan approved Monday By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com Last updated in 2004, the changes in the new version of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, CLUP, were approved Monday after a unanimous vote by Westminster City Council. The CLUP will integrate all aspects of physical planning into one cohesive document with direction for land use, parks and open space, community design, economic development, infrastructure and resource management. “I’m really excited about the plan. I think it moves us forward and gives us a bright future,” Mayor Pro Tem Faith Winter said. “The plan provides us an opportunity for our home grown businesses to expand and gives opportunities to expand our art district.” Mac Cummins, planning manager, said by expanding the plan, the city now has an innovative way to focus the planning for the city for the next 20 years and allows the city to take a strategic look at how that planning will happen. He added

that although there are land designation changes, no zoning changes are proposed in the plan. The approved plan introduces seven new land designations including: R-36 Residential, Mixed Use, Mixed Use Center, Service Commercial, Office/Research and Development High Intensity, Office/ Research and Development Low Intensity and Flex/Light Industrial. Along with the new additions, were three land designations retired from the plan in order to provide more refined land uses: District Center, Business Park and Office/Residential. “These changes and additions reflect the city’s desire to accommodate mixeduse development typologies and to better articulate a vision for key future development areas,” Sarah Nurmela, senior urban designer and planner for the city said. “The Comprehensive Land Use Plan provides direction for land use and all types of physical planning for the city and helps us determine how and where to plan for open space community services, transportation utilities and many other things. It also

helps us to manage resources and ensure that we have resources as we continue to grow and expand.” Nurmela said there are also several sites in the city with changes to their previous land use designations. Of those sites in particular, one drew a lot of attention from community members: the Harris District along 73rd Avenue south to 72nd Avenue and between the rail tracks and Lowell Boulevard. The approved plan changed the land use designation to Traditional Mixed Use Neighborhood Development, TMUND, from retail commercial with the intent to permit and foster walkable, neighborhood-oriented mixed-use development. During a neighborhood meeting on Oct. 21 many south Westminster residents had issues with the change due to the fear of major changes in the neighborhood. Resident Carol Cooper said she worries about keeping the integrity of south Westminster if too many changes are made. Comments opposing the plan were also made public during the planning commission meet-

Council agreed with the recommendation and amended the plan to include the changes upon approval. “The new land designations are an improvement to the plan,” said councilor Herb Atchison. “The new plan gives more opportunities for new development and also redevelopment.” To view the complete Comprehensive Land Use Plan, visit www.ci.westminster. co.us.

Drop-in art classes ignite creativity By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com The South Westminster Arts Group (SWAG) is providing free drop-in art classes for children ages 7-17 with the help of a grant from the Legacy Foundation. The classes are being offering the first and third Saturday of the month at the Rodeo Market Community Art Center in Westminster. Designed to inspire young artists, the classes are taught by lead instructor Jim Lavallee and assistant instructor Christopher Pratt. Both are members of the Rodeo Art Gallery Artist Group. Lavallee’s experience ranges from printmaking to painting and sculpture. Most recently his focus is creating jewelry out of recycled materials. He said the reason he got involved with the classes was simply to encourage creativity. “I’ve been teaching art since the 1980’s on and off,” Lavallee said. “So I hope that kids who come to the classes find enjoyment in the arts and find their creativity.” This is Pratt’s first time doing any kind of teaching. He said his passion for art stemmed from when he was a young boy. Since then he’s dabbled in digital art and now focuses on more traditional art, like

painting with oils. For the youth classes, Pratt said there is no strict plan of what will be taught each session, the ideas will evolve organically. “As the children are learning so am I. It’s a great learning experience for me,” he said. “It’s fun to work kids and it’s an opportunity for the kids to go home with something they created.” Carol Cooper, SWAG co-chair, said educational art program is vital in teaching young people in the area that art isn’t just for the wealthy, it is something to be enjoyed by all. Cooper, who is also an art teacher, sees the joy and passion art can induce every day in her classroom. Through this program, she hopes more children, who may not have access to art instruction, can feel the same positive effects from art. “I think kids need a place to slow down and think outside of the box and have the opportunity to grow internally and be a creative citizen,” Cooper said. “Kids need to learn how to explore and experiment and also be inventive. So I’m so excited about this program because kids have a place to use their imaginations.” Not only will the program ignite the cre-

The classes are 12:30-1:45 p.m. and will run through January 2014. For more information, visit www.southwestyartsgroup. com.

Adult classes teach variety of skills By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com Northglenn High School is offering free enrichment classes for parents and community members with a goal to grow the bond between the community and the school. The classes are taught by NHS teachers and focus on a different subject each session. “For parents, they are usually coming in to the school about something that directly relate to their student,” said special education teacher Kate Weber, who also organizes

the enrichment program. “With these classes we are trying to connect the parents and the community to our school in ways that aren’t just related to the students.” The classes started on Oct. 23 with the first oriented around using iPads in the classroom followed by a class on getting a job on Oct. 29. The next class, on Nov. 4 is focused on creating meals on a budget. Weber was excited about this class in particular because for many busy parents, grocery shopping and making meals can be a hard task, especially while keeping in mind healthy

PA I D P O L I T I C A L A D V E R T I S E M E N T

living. “Budgeting and how to cook healthy meals is something many parents sometimes struggle with,” Weber said. “So we decided to have a fun class to help with budgeting ideas and easy healthy meals parents could make. The meals class is taught by our family consumer science teacher, who teaches food classes and cooking classes already.” The next class on Nov. 13 teaches web tools for presentations, followed by a 21st Century Spanish class on Nov. 19 and fi-

nally a parent empowerment class on Dec. 10. All classes are 6-8 p.m. and are limited to 30 participants. Registration is available at http://goo.gl/tDbBa0 or by calling Weber at 720-972-4641. The classes are open to all district adult residents. “Overall we just want to promote a feeling of community at our school,” Weber said. “Northglenn High School is a big school and can be overwhelming, so we hope this program helps parents and the community to feel welcome and comfortable in our school.”

Mental health is an aspect of health care that concerns people of all ages, abilities and incomes, but the availability of resources is limited. That’s something Community First Foundation is working to change. The Community First Foundation awarded seven community organizations serving the medical and mental health sectors in Jefferson County at its offices, 6870 West 52nd Ave., on Oct. 22. The grants ranged in size from $50,000 to $125,000. Funding for the grants came from the Lutheran Legacy Fund. The foundation, which aims to strengthen and support area nonprofits while improving the quality of life in the community, awarded the grants in an effort to increase access to mental health services throughout Jefferson County. “We’re excited about the work going to be done throughout Jefferson County in medical and mental health services,” said Felix Cook, a Community First Board member and emcee of the event. Earlier this year, the foundation formed a community advisory board made up of different nonprofit, community, government, and faith-based leaders from Jefferson County to determine a focus for this grant cycle, provide direction for the fund and choose this year’s recipients. The board decided to focus on

opinions / yours and ours

College prep blues, bracing for the costs My daughter is a bright, talented young lady with a heart as big as the ocean. The end. Just kidding. Unfortunately, my daughter, now a high school senior, has been spending an inordinate amount of time and energy over the last several weeks stressing about college. And our mailbox has been mirroring that development. Seriously, is every small town in Kansas formed strictly to support a liberal arts college? At any rate, that is causing in our household and in my mind a bit of a philosophical conundrum. Me, the “life coach” parent, wants her to dream as big as the sky and the stars. I really do want her to commit to her ambition of becoming a pediatric oncology nurse or nurse practitioner, and I want to do everything I can to facilitate that dream. Me, the “teacher” parent, really believes in education and higher education and the value of learning for learning’s sake. I want her to go to a great college and have all the wonderful experiences that don’t happen in a classroom, like I did (minus a few “experi-

ences” I won’t go into here). But me, the “financial advisor” parent, looks at the average of $26,000 student loan debt for graduates, looks at one in three college graduates living in their parents’ basements, looks at 45-percent dropout rates and 40-percent graduate underemployment, and just wants her to be smart. I have come to the realization — too late in life — that debt is tantamount to voluntary slavery, and I don’t want that for her. This part of me loves the idea of two years of community college to get the general ed. out of the way, transferring all those credits

to the great, local private university with the great nursing program, and finding a way to get her into life without crippling debt. And those three parents are having an ongoing argument inside my head to mirror the ongoing arguments happening in our house. The Department of Labor tells us that only 20 percent of jobs require degrees, but 30 percent of the adult population has degrees, and 100 percent of high school students in any suburban school are told by an entire system that they’re a failure if they don’t go to college. Somehow, the math of the whole argument just doesn’t work out for the future very well. And it doesn’t help that our efforts to help have done just the opposite. According to Richard Vedder, in 1964 federal student aid amounted to $231 million and in 1970, 12 percent of college graduates came from the lowest income quartile; today, federal aid is about $1 trillion, but only 7 percent of recent graduates come from that same quartile. In other words, not only

has federal intervention in higher education not worked, but it’s made the problem worse for everybody who it was supposed to specially help. Of course, none of that matters to a young lady whose parents have to tell her that they can’t afford for her to go after her dream in the way that she wants to. I suppose that’s okay, because the “personal trainer” parent in me knows that any dream worth achieving is also worth striving and struggling and clawing and scratching for. And my wise wife makes the great point that she’ll value it more and take it a lot more seriously if she has to earn it. Still, sometimes, the “mine’s the one in the pink tutu with the frilly butt” parent just wants to be able to say “yes, and debt be damned!” But that parent is probably not going to win. Michael Alcorn is a music teacher and fitness instructor who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. He graduated from Alameda High School and the University of Colorado-Boulder.

“Stay strong!” “You can do it!” “Don’t give in!” “Keep the faith!” “Stay the course!” Many times when we begin the pursuit of a worthy goal such as losing weight, stopping smoking, saving money for a specific reason, or getting into shape we very quickly come to the crossroads of temptation and will power. It’s at this intersection where we find ourselves face to face with the desires that drive us toward our “wants” and where our resolve to adhere to our goal or plan becomes tested. And that’s when we have the proverbial angel on our right shoulder and the devil on our left shoulder. The angel is encouraging us to stay strong, reminding us that we can do it and not to give in. And then that little devil on the opposite side pushes us and nudges us and whispers in our ear that, “Its OK, one doughnut won’t hurt, go ahead take a bite, you can start again tomorrow!” Will power is easy for some and much harder for others. Typically people with strong will power are very goals oriented and results driven. When they set their sights on a target, there is not much that they will let stand in their way once they commit themselves and begin their quest towards that goal. However, there are many more of us who struggle with will power. The thoughts or ideas of pursuing a worthwhile goal come easily enough as we really do want to make a change or difference in our health, in a struggling relationship, or in attempting to quit a bad habit. And sometimes we want these things so badly we jump in eagerly towards the “fix” that we

blow right by the planning and expectations phase and forget how important it is to set realistic milestones where we can measure our success along the way. Commitment is a big word when it comes to will power. And in order to be committed and dedicated to that which we are pursuing, we have to be able to have a plan, see what victory or success looks like, and manage our expectations along the way. It’s like the person who is not in very good physical condition and wakes up one day and decides they will begin working out immediately that morning. Instead of going in with a plan that starts slowly and builds their muscle strength and endurance up, they rush right in and do as much as possible on day one. I applaud the initiative, but then day two happens and the person wakes up so sore and in so much pain that they can’t go back to the gym for days. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, and you know the rest of the story. Will power is one of those terms that is easy to say, sounds good, and even feels Norton continues on Page 7

Come closer, but keep your distance Dear Neil: I have been involved with a man for two years. After four months of intense dating and heavy pursuit on his part, he asked me to marry him. I said “yes,” believing this to be a whirlwind courtship and somewhat of a Cinderella fairytale. I was 34 years old and had never been married. Within weeks of the engagement, he was pursuing “friendships” with other women. Here is the pattern that has evolved in our relationship: today he wants to get married and start a family, but tomorrow he won’t be sure if he wants to stay in the relationship at all. The day after that he will declare his undying devotion and allegiance to me, but the next day he won’t answer his phone when I call, or if he does he’ll explode over something that often feels trivial to me. So one minute I feel close to him, and the next moment I never want to see him again. But every time I tell him I don’t want to see him anymore, he begs me to take him back and tells me he can’t tolerate the thought of living without me.

I thought he was bi-polar, but his doctor is saying his behavior is willful, not chemical. This pattern is driving me crazy, and I’m not sure I can handle much more of this. Can you offer any clarity as to what this is, and how you might recommend I deal with it? Puzzled in Lincoln, Nebraska Dear Puzzled: It sounds as if you’re in an “approach-avoidance” relationship. In approach-avoidance relationships, when you want closeness and connection with the other person, he will push away or not be available. But if you get fed up and

good when we say it. It is so easy for others to use as a statement of hope and encouragement. But at the end of the day, will power is a very personal thing. We have to want to make the changes in our lives more than any other person. We sure do appreciate their love, support, concern, and encouragement, however as the old saying goes, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me!” To strengthen our will power or resolve for the achievement of our goals we must first make sure we understand the “why” behind the goal, that it is in alignment with our truest beliefs and values, that we can commit to the actions necessary, that we have a support team, family member, friend, or coach that can help us when needed, and that we define what success looks like along the way. And that last one may very

well be the most important. Too often we get caught in the trap of wanting to achieve our goal without putting in the effort or hard work necessary to complete it or see it through, expecting immediate success or change. Will power is the ability to say “no” to the things we know that can detract us from our goals or mission, and saying “yes” to the things that are harder but lead to the results we desire. Zig Ziglar used to remind me all the time that, “We don’t pay the price for success, we enjoy the benefits of our hard work.” How are you doing when it comes to will power? Are you paying the price or enjoying the benefits? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we learn how to manage our will power, it really will be a better than good week.

withdraw from him, he suddenly becomes available and wants you very much. The approach-avoidance person is seeking safety and protection. He wants closeness, but only in safe doses. Marriage and talk about a family trigger his fears — fears of rejection, abandonment, betrayal or the fear that you will discover him to not be good enough. So he pushes away. But when you get tired or angered by his hot and cold behavior and back off yourself, he has the distance (and therefore the safety) that he seeks, so he can then act closer, more intimate and more connected. The unspoken stance taken is “I can’t afford to let you matter too much, because if I do, I’m afraid of you hurting or rejecting me.” Thus, the behavior you describe sounds like it’s all about his need for safety. No wonder this is driving you crazy. You’re getting the double message “come closer but keep your distance” over and over again. Since it is safety that he seeks, you can

ask him such questions as “What is threatening you right now? What can I do to help you feel safer and more protected?” One obvious answer to those questions is that he needs a huge amount of reassurance from you — that you love him, that you won’t reject him, that you’re not going to leave him. Also, affectionate touch (holding hands, cuddling, back rubs) may help him in feeling safe. This sounds like a lot of work. Are you sure you want this? If so, figure out where your limits and boundaries are. If you don’t set limits with this behavior, you’ll feel if as you’re riding a roller coaster over which no one has control.

She said through her business she’s able to connect with people on health and wellness and truly make a difference in their lives. “We really want to provide affordable massages and services to everyone,” she said. “And we’re so excited to be a part of the Westminster and Broomfield area. We love it up there.” Not only is affordability a priority, but also convenience. Todd Leff, CEO of Hand & Stone, said extended hours are offered at Hand &

Stone, allowing people more opportunities to enjoy the health and wellness benefits from massages and other spa services. And just because the prices are low and the hours and long, doesn’t meant the experience is affected. “Our goal is to bring high quality spa services, massage and skin care, to the middle market to meet the demand in a much more affordable and convenient way,” Leff said. “We do this by retaining the experience at a high level spa.

Since 2008, women-owned businesses in Jefferson County have more than doubled, bringing the total number of businesses owned by women to more than 4,000. Women today hold more positions of influence than ever and have made positive contributions at the local and national levels. The West Chamber wants to recognize the accomplishments of women who are established leaders in our community, specifically Jefferson County through its annual “Celebrate Women” event. “Our community is fortunate to have a vast pool of inspirational women, who have made contributions to businesses, non-profits and our neighborhoods,” said Brian Willms, The West Chamber – Serving Jefferson County president. “Whether they are at work, home, or play the leadership they demonstrate is an example for all of us to follow.”

The West Chamber would like to thank our event sponsors for their support and achievement of women in our community.

In its 12th year, “Celebrate Women” of Jefferson County will honor 12 women whose drive, perseverance and accomplishments have become sources of inspiration. Thanks to this year’s sponsors, the West Chamber will host a breakfast Friday, Nov. 15 at the Denver Marriott West Hotel to formally highlight the achievements of these deserving honorees. Cost to attend the event is $45 or tables can be purchased for $600. Registration is available at the West Chamber’s website: www.westchamber.org.

Take a look at this year’s honorees. Presenting Sponsor Barbara Brohl Executive Director, Colorado Department of Revenue Barbara Brohl is not only a professional trailblazer, but also exhibits tireless dedication and leadership. Barbara was appointed by the Governor to co-chair the Amendment 64 Implementation Task Force, charged with identifying issues and recommendations regarding the sale of Retail Marijuana. As an RTD Board member, she introduced a workforce development program for transit projects promoting the introduction of women in non-traditional positions. During her career at Qwest she worked her way from the ground floor to representing the company in complex legal matters. Many of those years were spent developing software while raising a young family and completing her law degree in the evenings. Barbara continues to be very active in the community - from her “Newborns in Need” baby showers to her mentoring programs to the organizations she supports – including The Gathering Place and the Hispanic Advisory Council for Florence Crittenton, an alternative high school for pregnant and parenting teens.

For Daniel Ritchie, it’s girl’s night out Classic show looks at family in free fall By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com The Edge Theatre is revisiting a classic for its fall production. The theater is reviving Tennessee Williams’ legendary “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” for the first time in the Denver area in around six years. “Tin Roof” well play at The Edge, 1560 Teller St., until Nov. 17. Performances are 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 6 p.m. on Sunday. WHAT: “Cat on a Hot Tin “We do so much with Roof” new work at The Edge that WHERE: The Edge Theatre it’s exciting to be doing a 1560 Teller St., Lakewood classic,” said Angela Astle, WHEN: Through Nov. 17 the show’s director. “I did 7:30 p.m. - Friday and ‘A View from the Bridge’ Saturday last year, and it’s nice to be 6 p.m. - Sunday working on another classic.” COST: $20-$22 The story of “Tin Roof” INFORMATION: 303-232zeroes in on a family in 0363 or www.theedgethMississippi going through a eater.com crisis period. The family patriarch, Big Daddy, has just returned from a stay at a hospital, and been given the all-clear on what was a serious health scare. It is his birthday and his wife, Big Mama, his son Brick and Brick’s wife Maggie have all gathered for a birthday dinner. It quickly becomes apparent that the family has a long history of keeping secrets from each other, peppered with simmering tension and anger in the air. The latest lie might be one of

IF YOU GO

the biggest — Big Daddy is actually dying of cancer. Big Daddy’s family made sure he and his wife didn’t know that his time was almost up, but it doesn’t take long before all the pent-up feelings erupt. “The audience is really watching all this unfold in an enormous pressure cooker,” Astle said. “We’re inviting them into Big Daddy’s bedroom to watch as this all happens. It’s really intense.” The show is being staged in the round, which gives it a whole deeper level of intimacy, Astle added. Russell Costen plays Big Daddy , and said he worked hard to give the character who would be seen as the antagonist a lot of humanity. “He rules with an iron fist, and that’s because he started as the overseer on this plantation and now he’s the master,” Costen said. “There’s a real connection between him and his son Brick, who has become a wastrel in his eyes.” Costen said the dynamic between the father and his son really drive the play, as well as Big Daddy’s underlying fears. “He’s had all this suffering with the illness and has to face that he’s going to be losing his wealth and power. Really his reason for being,” he said. “I think the show is really a piece about human nature, and a very twisted kind of love.” Astle said the production is one of the most professional going on in the area, and that it will really have an impact on viewers. “The show is three acts, and we have two intermissions so people can take a minute to breathe,” she said. “I think for as long as ‘Tin Roof’ has been around, this is a production people won’t want to miss.”

For a suit-and-tie CEO of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Daniel Ritchie makes a handsome woman. And he proved just how fetching he can be in a blingy ball gown during “Theatre Threads,” a costume department fashion show featuring models from the DCPA’s financial and emotional support group. As an unadvertised final entry in the fashion show, Ritchie shuffled to the microphone where 9News entertainment editor Kirk Montgomery was lending emcee duties. Much to the delight of the lunching crowd, Ritchie sported a Texas-sized blond wig, full makeup, false eyelashes, figurehugging bedazzled gown, feather stole, full-length black gloves and black patent open-toe heels. In a twisted way, he looked hot! Ritchie was promoting “The Legend of Georgia McBride,” which plays in the Ricketson Theatre from Jan. 10 to Feb. 23. “We didn’t have costumes yet so we hired a professional drag queen, and he worked with Dan on the outfit,” said Alexandra Griesmer, public relations and promotions manager for the Denver Center Theatre Company. “(Ritchie) was such a great sport — didn’t take much convincing!” Ritchie said his gender-bender experience lent him more empathy toward females. “I learned that high heels are risky,” Ritchie said while Montgomery, dressed as one of the Three Musketeers, doubled over in laughter. “I was surprised to learn what you do every day. My respect is even higher (for women).” The play is about a straight young man who unexpectedly takes a dip into the world of drag, Ritchie said. “I didn’t know much about being a woman, so I thought I should learn firsthand.” Denver Center Alliance’s Theatre Threads is a tribute to the talent and passion of the models and backstage stars, Denver Center Theatre Company’s costume department. Proceeds support the Arts in Education program, which allows more than 50,000 students the opportunity to experience live theater this academic year.

The incredible shrinking anchor

Have you seen 9News entertainment anchor Kirk Montgomery lately? Rather, have you seen what’s left of him? His cheeks are no longer “cherubbed,” and his torso is oh so trim. I caught his act last week, and couldn’t help asking Montgomery the secret to his slimmed-down success. “I downloaded a free app (My Plate from www.livestrong.com) and I’ve been counting calories,” he told me. “I input the good the bad and the ugly — and just getting into the habit of doing that was an eye-opener. I’ve tried to stay around 1,500 (calories consumed) a day. Some days are lower, some higher, but I’ve lost weight before — the goal this time is to keep it off.”

years. Before beginning the planning process, the city hosted an open house last year to gain input and knowledge on what the community wants to see out of their downtown. “We took all the suggestions and comments from the first open house as well as the comments and vision of city council and staff to come up with the design,” Cummins said. “We think we have a win-win-win here. The plan is a combination of public outreach and discussion with city

council and what we came up with is a cultural gathering place.” Cummins said key components of the development include land uses, public parks and plazas, multi-modal circulation and access to transit, urban design, development flexibility and taking advantage of the views from the Front Range and the views in the actual downtown area.

GroWL! tigers cross country girls place third at State

Lindsey Chavez, Aaron Hillman finish in 10th By Kate Ferraro

kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com The Holy Family girls cross country team finished the state meet with 106 points for third place in 3A at the Norris-Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs. Senior Lindsey Chavez finished her last meet of her high school career in 10th place at 20:36.8. Chavez said the course was brutal, but she’s satisfied with where she ended her career. “My goal this entire time was to run a strong race, and I knew there were a lot of things I couldn’t control,” Chavez said. “I did well, I got my goal.” Chavez was the only senior out of a handful of sophomores and one freshman on the Holy Family girls team this year. Along with her coach, she said she’s going to miss her team, but thinks they’re ready to take hold of the reins. “It’s a bittersweet moment,” Chavez said. “Once I’m gone, it’s going to be up to them to carry on the Holy Family legacy. It’s a good moment. I went out with a bang I think, so I’m happy.” Tigers sophomore Olivia Bartoletti finished in 15th place at 20:59.4 and sophomore Katie Chavez came in at 22:03.4 for 39th place. Sophomores Eva Naperkowski and Emma Stokes finished in 52nd and 53rd place, respectively. Freshman Emily Campbell finished with a time of 23:01.8. On the boy’s side, senior Aaron Hillman also finished in 10th place with a time of 17:34.1. Senior Dillon Roddy finished at 18:38, while senior Tristan Smith came in at 19:38.6. Sophomore Ryan Wells had a time of 20:23.1 and junior Michael Sloan came in after him at 20:35.4. The Holy Family boys finished in 15th place overall. In 5A, Thornton junior Joshua Joseph and senior Sean Paiz finished back to back in fourth and fifth place, respectively. Joseph came in at a time of 16:40.4, while Paiz finished at 16:46.5. “We work really hard together,” Joseph said of him and Paiz. “That’s where we get our best performances is when we’re working together.” Junior Jake Keithley finished with a time of 18:27.8, while senior Mark Rose came in at 18:58.6. Freshman Enrique Olivas-Giner had a time of 19:32.1. Freshman Sean Johnston and senior Draven McKinley came in back to back at 20:36.4 and 21:06.2 respectively. The Thornton boys finished in 16th place for 407 points. Legacy junior Emma Gee barely missed the top 10 as she finished in 11th place at 19:37.3. The Legacy girls finished in 10th place overall with 326 points. Horizon sophomore Megan Mooney and freshman Natalie Platil finished the race at 20:30 and 20:39.6, respectively. Senior Kaley Stutzman came in at 22:43.7.

Bat-Aid Tournament to help flood victims Softball Association to raise money for those in need By Kate Ferraro

kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com When Colorado was hit with days of rain starting on Sept. 9, not only did the following flooding harm houses and cars, but also athletic fields. For the Lyons High School softball team, its field wasn’t the only thing that was destroyed. Equipment was ruined, and some girls had to vacate their homes. The Niwot High School softball team and Longmont High School softball team experienced the same problem. After hearing this, Robert Vasquez, the

president of the Rocky Mountain Girls Fastpitch Association decided to take a stand. Vasquez was determined to help the three teams by holding a Bat-Aid softball tournament where all proceeds go to the three teams so they can buy more equipment. “We want to help out as much as we can,” Vasquez said. “When it hits you and you see the affect that happened, it’s wrong. You think ‘what can I do to help?’” The Rocky Mountain Girls Fastpitch Association is a nonprofit organization that helps 18 and under females grow in the sport of softball. RMGFA consists of eight teams from the Westminster, Arvada and Broomfield area. They have been around for three years

and consist of one 18U (18 and under) team, three 16U teams, one 14U team, two 12U teams and one 10U team. One of the RMGFA’s players on the U16 team, Annie Oakley, attends school at Strasburg High School and also plays outfield for the softball team. When Strasburg played Lyons High School Sept. 19, two weeks after the flood, she told Vasquez she was disturbed by what she saw. She said girls were sharing helmets, and the team only had one or two bats. They lost everything. Niwot lost its entire field. “What can the team do?” Vasquez said. “This was bigger than what a team can do. That’s when we came up with the idea to do a tournament, because like Annie said, they can’t play softball.”

The RMGFA has only hosted one other tournament for the 15U and 18U teams this past June in Loveland. They invited schools from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference like Metro State and Colorado School of Mines to look at their girls for college. The Bat-Aid softball tournament will be 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, at the Youth Memorial Sports Complex in Arvada off 76th and Alkire streets. Vasquez said he hopes to raise $1,500 for the three programs. “Hopefully it’s successful and we learn something,” Vasquez said. “Everybody has fun and nobody gets hurt. Even though it didn’t affect me, it affected someone else. You never know when you’re going to need help yourself.”

GALLERY OF GAMES & weekly horoscope

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) The high standards you set for yourself don’t always translate into the behavior you expect of others. That relationship problem can be resolved if you’re more flexible and less judgmental. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Not enough party bids to satisfy the Bovine’s fun-loving side this week? Go ahead and throw one of your own. Then prepare for some serious work coming up early next week. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A new and intensely productive cycle is about to kick in. Be careful not to get too stressed out, though. Make time to restore your energies by relaxing with family and friends.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) This could be a good time to share some of your plans with those closest to you. Their comments could give you some added insight into how you might accomplish your goals. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) An attack of self-doubt might be unsettling for the usually super-assured Feline. But it could be your inner voice telling you to hold off implementing your plans until you’ve reassessed them. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) This is a great time for you to reward yourself for all your hard work by taking a trip you haven’t spent months carefully planning, to somewhere you never thought you’d be going. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Some misunderstandings resist being resolved. But your sincerity in wanting to soothe those hurt feelings wins the day. By month’s end, that relationship should begin to show signs of healing. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A hectic job schedule begins to ease just in time to blow off all that workgenerated steam on Halloween. A family situation runs into an unexpected complication. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A cutting remark in the workplace needs to be handled with finesse. Remember: How you respond could determine the depth of support you gain from colleagues. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Once again, that Capricornean stubborn streak sets in and could keep you from getting much-needed advice. Fortunately, it lifts by week’s end, in time to make an informed decision. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A surprise trip early in the week could lead to other unexpected offers when you return. Word to the wise: Avoid talking too much about this until you’ve made some decisions. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Learning dominates the week for perspicacious Pisceans, who are always looking to widen their range of knowledge. A series of important job-linked commitments begins late in the week. BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of humor generates good feelings and good will everywhere you go. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
