Opening Of Anti-Crime Community Center Delayed
DENVER (AP) — Snowy, cold weather is forcing a state representative to postpone by a week the opening of a community center that will provide health, job, educational and others services to try to keep young people away from crime.
Rhonda Fields, whose son, Javad Marshall-Fields, was shot and killed along with his fiancee Vivian Wolfe in 2005 before he could testify in a murder case, had planned a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sunday at the Dayton Street Opportunity Center in Aurora. The new date is March 8.
In the last decade, the Fields Wolfe Memorial Fund, founded by Fields and Christine Wolfe, mother of Vivian Wolfe, has granted 11 scholarships. Fields, a legislator since 2010, says the Dayton center is a step toward meeting more young people's needs.
