he Arvada Chamber of Commerce hosted the inaugural Sand in the City festival June 14-15 outside of the Arvada Center. Sand in the City is a sand sculpting competition and Arvada is the only city in the metro area to host such an event. Teams comprised of residents, businesses and community leaders created sculptures out of sand, from a classic car and Lloyd King, founder of King Soopers, to sunbathing bears and minions from “Despicable Me.” A panel of judges, including Mayor Marc Williams, council members, Ms. Colorado Senior Debbie Buczkowski, 9News’ Gregg Moss and others, decided the winners of the sand sculpting competition. Apex Park and Recreation District took second runner-up with their classic hot rod sculpture; Personal Benefit Service Wealth Management and the Arvada Young Professionals were named runnerup for their sandy depiction of Two Pond National Wildlife Refuge; and ERA Waters took first with their “Parts per Minion” sculpture featuring the characters of “De-

Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation launched a new initiative last week — “Forward Jeffco” — with the goal of creating 7,500 new jobs in the county. To accomplish that level of economic development, the EDC is attempting to raise $3.9 million in additional revenue from government and business sponsors. In 2012, Jeffco EDC had an operating budget of about $900,000 and claimed 860 jobs created or retained. The official kick-off, which comes after months of behind-the-scenes sponsorship discussions, was June 11 at the MillerCoors Golden Brewery. Jeffco EDC board chair Fred Baker started the presentation, saying that the corporation’s last five-year-plan lacked a lot needed funding. “What we were able to do this time is take a more intelligent approach,” Baker said. Forward Jeffco has five listed strategic components: • More aggressive targeting of companies in desired industries; • Create new jobs by helping existing businesses grow; • Stimulate new business, including small and home-based businesses, by pulling together entrepreneur resources; • Identify and satisfy workforce development needs; • Aggressively advocate for business at all levels of government. According to Jeffco EDC CEO Kevin McCasky, part of the additional funds will quickly go to hiring another staff member to travel nationally, and internationally, to market the county to businesses in “identified cluster markets” that he hopes to bring in. Those cluster markets include aerospace/aviation, energy, bioscience, enabling technologies, and consumer products and creative services. More than $2 million of the Forward Jeffco monetary goal has been reached with contributions from about 25 sources, according to McCasky. Contributors include the City of Lakewood, Exempla Lutheran Medical Center, Xcel Energy, Lockheed Martin, and Jefferson County Public Schools. Arvada Mayor Marc Williams said he was proud that his city and city council had been among the first to pledge their support for the initiative, providing up to $50,000 a year, for the next five years. “It’s needed to raise the bar, so that we can attain the primary jobs and the economic development that this county needs and deserves,” Williams said. The Jeffco EDC has traditionally been funded 50/50 by government and business sources. Williams said that part of the Jeffco Forward initiative would be to shift that ratio, so that the business community would fund 70 percent, which had been accomplished for the Arvada area.

City initiative to help prepare for emergencies C.A.P.E launched to educate residents on how to be prepared when disaster strikes By Sara Van Cleve
svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com Emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere — and the city of Arvada has created a new initiative to help make sure residents are prepared. Citizens of Arvada Preparing for Emergencies is a community preparedness initiative started a few months ago to focus efforts on better preparing the community before a disaster and helping it recover after, said Arvada Emergency Management Coordinator Jim Lancy. “We’re asking folks to prepare for all kinds of hazards,” Lancy said. “Here in Arvada it could be a 30-inch snowstorm or wind and hail like the events in 2009. As seen from the fires throughout Colorado, that’s a great threat for us, too. The city has an urban wildland interface and fire is a threat for Arvada also.” The initiative kicked off Monday, June 10, as the city brought together 45 leaders from Arvada and Wheat Ridge’s faith-based communities to discuss how they can help during disasters and help prepare their residents before a disaster strikes. “Many faith-based organizations are very active in disaster response and recovery,” Lancy said. “The Red Cross, Salvation Army and other denominations provide special services during disasters. It’s a good way for faith-based organizations to get involved.” While many faith-based organizations can be leaders in disaster
response and recovery, the city also wants to work with them to help spread the word to residents about being prepared. “We would like to get the message to their congregations that individual preparedness is important and to prepare yourself, your family and neighbors for a disaster,” Lancy said. “Helping each other is important.” Residents can prepare themselves in three steps: • Build a plan — know an escape route, how to contact loved ones in and out of state and sign up for alerts. • Build an emergency kit. “What we ask is for people to gather what they would need for 72 hours, generally services are restored by then,” Lancy said. “If you can take care of yourself for three days, you’re in good shape. We encourage folks to take kits for kids to survive 72 hours as well as pets. We don’t want them to forget about dogs, cats and other animals.” Some basics to include in emergency kits are clothing, food and water, medications, a battery-operated radio to stay informed, a flashlight and any other individual essentials. • Stay informed. Lancy suggests staying informed about where to get updates during an emergency from both the city and county. “The federal and state governments are not the ones to lead in a disaster,” Lancy said. “During a disaster, the local community is the leader. If residents help prepare, the community will be prepared.” CAPE plans to host other workshops for residents and meetings with other community groups, including Parent Teacher Associations and Homeowners Associations, in the future.

Fatality in canyon crash By Glenn Wallace
gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com A woman died in the early morning hours of June 12 when the vehicle she was driving went off the roadway in Clear Creek Canyon and was found submerged in the waters of Clear Creek. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Elizabeth Ruth Lucero, 60, from Northglenn. Emergency responders found Lucero inside the car, and U.S. 6 was closed for several hours during the recovery operation. The Colorado State Patrol is investigating the cause of the crash. Golden Dispatch received a call from a motorist on U.S. 6 at 6:16 a.m. The caller said she saw a car go over the edge of the road in Clear Creek Canyon. “By the time (the caller) got out and looked over the edge, the car just wasn’t
there,” Battalion Chief Jerry Stricker said. Emergency responders arrived on scene and eventually found the vehicle, — a silver Ford sedan — about a quarter mile downstream from where it exited the roadway. It was found near mile marker 268. Stricker said only the radio antenna was visible above the water line. Wednesday afternoon the Clear Creek Canyon roadway was closed. About two dozen West Metro Fire and Golden Fire personnel responded to the scene. Fire and rescue workers entered the water, and attached tow ropes to the car. “It was a difficult. A technical (recovery) that took a few hours,” Golden Public Information Officer Karlyn Tilley said. “Our crews are some of the most well-trained in water rescue so they’re often called in for these types of (situations).” Stricker said the water volume in Clear Creek likely was at its annual peak the morning of the accident.

Two years in jail for 23-year-old Fatal hit-and-run case concludes By Glenn Wallace
gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com Catherine Bean, the 23-year-old Lakewood resident who turned herself in after killing a bicyclist in a hit-and-run accident while driving intoxicated, has been sentenced to two years work release at the Jefferson County Jail, and six years probation. On Aug. 22, 2012, Kenneth W. Kienzle, 58, was struck from behind while he rode a bicycle on South Wadsworth, south of W. Ohio Avenue. The vehicle fled the scene. Forty minutes later Bean called police, telling them that she may have been involved in an accident. Bean was arrested and charged with vehicular homicide, driving under the influence, careless driving, and failure to remain ADVERTISEMENT
at the scene of an accident. At the sentencing, Kienzle’s sister, Susan Pobjoy said she has tried to rationalize his death with the knowledge that her brother never saw the danger coming, and likely did not suffer greatly, and that the donation of his organs helped save other lives. “But I’m just grasping at straws,” Pobjoy said. Bean gave a brief statement of her own. “I feel horrible for what I’ve done. I’ll accept any punishment the court gives,” Bean said. Bean’s attorney had asked for probation. Judge Christopher Munch said that the tragic nature of the case made sentencing difficult. He noted that Bean had never even had a speeding ticket and did not intend to kill anyone. “But the fact is she left him to die, alone, in the street at 5 o’clock in the morning,” Munch said, before announcing the twoyear jail sentence.

A public hearing regarding the prohibition of marijuana establishments for unincorporated Jeffco will be held June 18, at 8 a.m. in the Board of County Commissioners hearing room one, on the first floor of the Administration and Courts Facility, 100 Jefferson County Parkway. The Colorado Constitution allows counties, if they choose, to prohibit the operation of marijuana cultivation facilities, marijuana testing facilities, marijuana product manufacturing facilities and retail marijuana stores. The ordinance would sunset on Feb. 1, 2015. The BCC also adopted a temporary moratorium on the establishment or operation of any private

Pollinators find home at Bee Town USA Gardeners, bees reap mutual benefits of hives in community garden By Sara Van Cleve
svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com On the outskirts of the Arvada Community Garden is a large community all its own — Bee Town USA — population 180,000. Beekeeper Greg Rye, owner and founder of Dakota Bees, created Bee Town USA at the Arvada Community Garden, 9195 W. 57th Ave., a few years ago and has expanded to hives at the Anythink Library in Denver, Thornton, Commerce City and Bennett as well as the Grey Street Garden in Lakewood. “The purpose of Bee Town is to educate residents and gardeners,” Rye said. “It’s important to be aware of bees and help provide them with a habitat.” All of the hives at the Arvada Community Garden, which are disguised as little buildings from a town of the past, are created with rescued bees. “We had 50 removals last year from homes and public places,” Rye said. “All of the bees at Bee Town were rescued in some way or another.” While Bee Town USA provides a home and a life source for the bees in terms of pollen, the bees give back to the garden, too. About once a week Rye goes to the garden to check on the hives and harvests honey, which is given to gardeners and the Arvada Community Food Bank. The honeybees, along with native bees that live in the garden, pollinate plants within a two-mile radius of the garden, helping the plants grow better, Rye said. There are 841 species of native bees in Colorado, many of which are facing endangerment, Rye said. In addition to the honeybee hives, the Arvada Community Garden also

BUY - SELL - TRADE - NEW - USED - SELF-RELIANCE Nine hives of rescued honeybees, or approximately 180,000 honeybees, now reside in Bee Town USA at the Arvada Community Garden, 9195 W. 57th Ave. has a native bee habitat, which was created out of hollowed-out wood. The native bee wall has become home to a variety of native bees, including bumble bees, mason bees, leaf-cutter bees and more. A hive of leaf-cutter bees, for example, can pollinate an entire orchard on their own, Rye said. Having a beekeeper bring out hives of bees to pollinate can cost hundreds of dollars every year. Instead, farmers and gardeners can establish a hive once for a couple hundred dollars and have self-sustaining pollinators for years to come. Rye said anyone can make a native bee habitat in their own backyard using nearly any natural material. “Pallets can make good native bee habitats,” Rye said. “Wood, stems from sunflowers, reeds, any plant with a hollowed out stem, they can all be used to make habitats for bees.” Feedback about Bee Town USA has been nothing but positive, Rye said, from both Arvada gardeners and visitors. “I love to see people learn about bees and get excited,” he said. “It’s fun to watch a kid come in with his dad
and watch the bees and then say,”I want to do this in our yard.’” Children and others curious about bees can watch them in their own yard and learn more without even having to build a habitat. Bees will flock to a mason jar with sugar water in it, Rye said, giving people a chance to watch and learn about the natural pollinators. Rye, a carpenter by trade, began beekeeping about six years ago when he got laid off during the economic downturn. Since then, he has learned all he can about bees and wants to share the information with others. Rye also sells beekeeping equipment and can help new beekeepers get started. “Once I got started, I got addicted,” he said. “I love what I do.” Bee Town USA can be visited during normal Arvada Community Garden Hours, which are available at www.arvadagardeners.org/about. php. Rye also gives tours of the hives, protective gear included, for $35 per couple. For more information about Bee Town USA, bees or beekeeping, visit www.dakotabees.com.

see anywhere else.’
By Sara Van Cleve & SKID STEERS
Open 7am to 6pm Monday - Saturday Sunday 8am to 3pm
‘There are stories you won’t
svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com For the third year, Olde Town Arvada is home to the Intendence Film Festival, a three-day experience of 63 films from local, national and international filmmakers. Animation, art and experimental, documentaries, features, music videos, science fiction, horror, shorts, webisodes and films done by student filmmakers are featured this year. Filmmakers are from Colorado as well as Japan and Europe. “We’re very fortunate with the types of films we’ve gotten,” said IFF founder and executive director Bob Webb. “They’re amazing films. There are stories you won’t see anywhere else.” One of those films is “A Common Man,” starring Ben Kingsley. “‘A Common Man’ surprised me when I began watching it,” Webb said. “It’s a really interesting twist on a terrorist plot.” “A Common Man” will play at 8 p.m. Saturday, Jun 29, at the Arvada Festival Playhouse, 5665 Olde Wadsworth Blvd. Another talked-about film is “Sleeping with the Bear” starring Eileen Gruba. “Sleeping with the Bear” is about a former Olympic-hopeful, Emily, having to overcome challenges and pain of a crippling accident that destroyed her leg and dreams. The short is about
Bob Webb, IFF founder and executive director friends helping each other overcome life’s obstacles. “She is a very strong advocate for handicapped actors and the film is designed to show that a great actor is a great actor whether they are handicapped or not,” Webb said. “Sleeping with the Bear” plays at 8 p.m. Thursday, June 27, at the Festival Playhouse. Following the screening of the film, attendees will be able to do a question and answer session via Skype with Gruba, who is currently filming on location in England. The film festival will also feature several other question and answer sessions with filmmakers over Skype or in person. Three workshops are also being offered during the film festival, including Film for Tweens and Teens, the Importance of Sound in Film and Acting for Adults. The workshop for youth will focus on the best way for teens and children 10 -18 to get involved in the film industry and how to avoid scams with advice from talent agents and parents whose children are in the industry.
The tweens and teens workshop is free and is from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, June 29, at the Arvada Library, 7525 W. 57th Ave. The other two workshops are $10 each. The Importance of Sound in Film is from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 29, at the Arvada Tavern, 5707 Olde Wadsworth Blvd. and Acting for Adults is from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, June 29, at the Global Goods and Coffee Shop, 5613 Olde Wadsworth Blvd. “I think what we’re providing is an experience,” Webb said. “It includes seeing films you usually don’t see, the chance to talk to the filmmakers, and it’s small enough that we can really talk to all the people involved and see what they’re about and up to. It’s an interesting fusion.” After-parties will also be held each night after the film festival to allow attendees the chance to mingle with filmmakers and fellow attendees at venues in Olde Town. The festival kick-off is at 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 26, at DiCicco’s, 5660 Olde Wadsworth Blvd. The festival will close Sunday, June 30, with an award luncheon at DiCicco’s at 11 a.m. Tickets can be purchased online at www. intendence.org or they can be purchased at the ticket booth in Olde Town Square during the festival. Tickets range from $10-$75 with ticket options ranging from single-day passes to threeday VIP passes.

Attorneys: Victim’s death a brutal murder or accident By Glenn Wallace
gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com The trial of accused murderer Corey Lopez began last week at the Jefferson County Courthouse in Golden. The 23-year-old Lakewood man, currently in custody at the Jefferson County Jail, faces charges of firstdegree murder, and attempted firstdegree murder in the strangulation death of 21-year-old Lakewood resident Richelle Ann Best.
Jury selection for the trial wrapped up Friday. The jury heard opening statements and one witness was called in the afternoon. “This is not a whodunit,” Deputy District Attorney Lisa Scanga told the jury during opening statements. “There was no one else in Lopez that apartment.” In July of last year, Lopez called police from his apartment at 1017 Teller St. to report his girlfriend, Richelle Ann Best, was unresponsive. Police arrived and found Best dead. An autopsy revealed 40 separate injuries on Best’s body, particu-
larly blunt force trauma to the neck area, with damage to the muscle, cartilage, vocal cords and esophagus. Scanga said the prosecution would present the stories of Samantha Eckendorf and Best, “two similar experiences, two very different endings.” According to Scanga, Lopez choked both women, but Eckendorf, who dated Lopez in 2008, survived. In her opening statements, defense attorney Chantel Contiguglia spoke to the jury about how the timing of Eckendorf’s accusations, five years later, was questionable. “You won’t hear that she (Eckendorf) called police then, you won’t hear that she tried to get a restrain-
ing order,” Contiguglia said. Contiguglia called Best’s death “a horribly tragic accident,” caused by the couple’s drunken fall on their way to Lopez’s apartment hours earlier, and rough sex. “It’s a stretch to say this is about murder,” Contiguglia told the court. The prosecution has promised to bring Eckendorf to the stand to testify about Lopez’s fondness for choking, including at least one incident where she feared for her life. For the defense, Contiguglia said an audio recording of Lopez calling 911 would demonstrate that he was emotional, and confused about Best’s death. The trial is expected to last two weeks.

Bus stops summer hunger Snack-n-Wagon rolls out July 1 By Glenn Wallace
gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com
The wheels on the bus go round death used and round. The wheels also bring food to the their ours hundreds of children in the Golden area who may not have a steady bout source of food during the summer. Beginning July 1, a new program ourt. mised called the Snack-n-Wagon will bring nd to food to an estimated 100 area youth, s for providing a nutritious lunch and e in- some entertainment. The new wagon — a converted life. said school bus that was previously used call- for microbrew tours in Boulder — is at he an extension of the Golden Backpack bout Program that helps to feed 500 area students every weekend during the two school year. Golden Backpack founding organizer and executive director Peggy Halderman said the organization has long recognized that while the program takes summer vacation off, hunger does not. “The word from the community was, “We love what you do, now do it year round,’” said Halderman. So the Backpack Program, along with its major backers in Golden Rotary and the faith-based community,
WHERE TO SNAG THE SNACK-N-WAGON The mobile Snack-n-Wagon will serve weekday lunches to anyone 18 years or younger. The wagon will be in operation between July 1 and Aug. 9 (excluding July 4 and 5). Music, books and games will be available. For more information, go to goldenbackpack.org. The wagon will be making two stops a day: • Fox Hill Apartments, 17611 West 16th Ave., 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Lunch served until noon. • Mountainside Estates, 17190 Mount Vernon Road, 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., lunch served until 12:30 p.m. started working on a summer program plan. That was when the school bus/ beer bus suddenly became available to any area nonprofit that wanted to use it. The Golden community took the offer and got to work on converting what Halderman called “this goofy beer bus” into a mobile feeding station. “It’s going to be one of those iconic vehicles driving through the community,” Hillside Community Church Pastor Dan Thoemke said. The Community Faith in Action partnership, led by Thoemke, helped organize community volunteers to do much of the renovation. The City of Golden has given the bus a tune-up and found storage space for it in the
city garage. “It’s truly been a community project,” Thoemke said. The community also helped the Snack-n-Wagon project win $20,000 in funding through an online contest held by Wal-Mart. “Every time we turn around, the community has helped get things done,” Halderman said. The completed bus, now outfitted with running water, a food service counter, and preparation table, will make two stops every weekday between July 1 and August 9. Halderman said each location was chosen based on feedback from the schools, police, and the faith-based community about where the highest concentration of potentially hungry children would be. Snack-n-Wagon organizers are estimating around 50 children will be fed at each site. They say that if all goes well this year, the program could expand to three or more sites in 2014. At each site, the Snack-n-Wagon volunteers will set up a shade structure, tables chairs, and a hand washing station. Baskets to share unwanted food, and to trade books will also be set up. Age-appropriate music will also be played at each site. “We’re going for a fun atmosphere. The more kids we can attract, the more it’ll be the cool place to be,” Halderman said.
Uncluttering and cleaning house A little over a month ago we had a garage sale at my home. We had been preparing for it for several months, actually ever since our last garage sale. We went through the closets, the storage spaces, the crawl space, the basement and the garage looking for everything we could possibly sell or donate. So as we got closer to the actual day of the garage sale, my garage could have easily been mistaken as the garage of a hoarder as it was completely filled. And filled with stuff that I have no idea where it came from or that we even had any longer. Where does it all come from? Anyway, the garage sale was a success and whatever wasn’t sold was taken to Goodwill. My garage was once again cleaned out and the producers of that television show about hoarding stopped calling my home. Well, then we decided to put my home on the market and try and sell it. We had the Realtor and the professional “stager” come and let us know what we needed to do to get the house in shape for pictures and for showings. Now keep in mind, we had just uncluttered the house and got rid of a ton of stuff. Only to now be
told that we would have to unclutter even more to make the home more appealing. We worked for days, filled more bins, and now my garage can once again qualify as a disaster area or hoarder’s paradise. As we went through these days of uncluttering after having already uncluttered, I found myself wondering how much “stuff” I was still holding onto in my head and in my heart that could use a little more uncluttering. I mean I pretty much practice goalsetting and when I complete a project or task I move on to the pursuit of the next thing that I need to tackle. That’s the easy part. But what about the missed opportunities, the losses, the wins or trophies of yesterday that have long since held any relevance? What about
the arguments or disagreements that happened so long ago that they no longer carry any meaning? As I thought about and worked on uncluttering the physical items in my home, I began multi-tasking and uncluttering the things that were taking up space in the most important parts of my being, my head and my heart. If you feel like you are holding on to things mentally, emotionally, or physically, maybe even to the point of hoarding, do yourself a favor and clean house. Start uncluttering and removing the unnecessary, opening up opportunities to spend more time with the people and on those things in life that are truly the most important to us. If you know what I am talking about, I would love to hear all about how you have uncluttered and cleaned house in your own homes, hearts and minds at gotonorton@ gmail.com. When we can start fresh, it will be a better than good week.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
Volunteers at the ready when wildfires rage Unfortunately, we know the smoke all too well. Amid dry grass and strong winds, a wildfire struck Colorado again last week, consuming more than 480 homes and leaving two dead seemingly in the blink of an eye in the Black Forest area near Colorado Springs. Family after family grabbed photos first then bundled other treasures in an evacuation estimated at 40,000 people — about the size of the population of cities like Parker, Littleton or Northglenn. Meanwhile, other fires continued to burn across the state. Once again the smell of smoke reached the northern confines of our
OUR VIEW Colorado Community Media coverage area in Westminster — much like the Hayman fire of 2002, which smoke could be smelled more than 100 miles away. We had hoped the loss of about 330 homes and property caused by that blaze would not happen again. So here go again. Many know the drills by heart — how to help, how to stay safe, how to comfort others.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Do you agree with the Nuggets’ decision to fire Coach George Karl? Folks who were enjoying the day on Wheat Ridge’s 38th avenue were evenly split as to whether it was in the best interest of the organization to part ways with the veteran coach.
He had cancer and he still hung tough with us and won a lot of games. What more do theyw ant? Karen Ward
I wasn’t disappointed. He’s always good to get to the playoffs. But, after that, we’re usually out in the first round. Elery Kerr
He does great in the regular season, but he needed to get them over the hump. After a few years, you better do something or stuff ’s got to happen. Tony Jaime

We heartily commend all the people, agencies and organizations that always step up so quickly to help others. Fairground facilities and associated volunteers were so quick to take in animals, and donated food and essentials always seem to show up pronto. We are not surprised at the energy and commitment of volunteers and firefighters — who are always at the ready. That’s Colorado. Many of these seasoned vets also are not surprised by the wildfires, and even express surprise that wildfires don’t happen more often. Various ways to reduce wildfires are discussed, but increased preventive mea-

But before reaching out with helping murd H hands, be sure to cover your own bases fense too — sign up for your respective county emergency alert system, have a kit prepared for emergencies and be ready to leave quickly in case of emergency. Safety first.
Don’t lie to me about my rights If you tweeted recently that you used your mom’s breaded pork chop recipe for dinner, blogged about your vacation in China, or posted your status to family and friends that you’re recovering from food poisoning you got at that restaurant in Tucson, chances are good that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security got your messages too. That’s because “China,” “food poisoning,” “Tucson,” and even “pork” are among the hundreds of words and phrases included in the Department’s 2011 Analyst’s Desktop Binder, used to monitor social networking sites and online media. Department of Homeland Security officials were forced to release the manual following a hearing in the House of Representatives over documents obtained by a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. I find it particularly ironic that we as Americans must use Freedom of Information to find out that we’re being spied upon. Worse, it’s now even more evident that we should simply expect anything we say or write to be monitored by the government. (The National Security Agency’s clandestine collection of our phone and email records is another chilling chapter yet unfolding.) And, although I for one am not ready to accept this systematic, ongoing, and ill-conceived surveillance, the DHS manual makes it frighteningly clear that government analysts patrol social media searching, as they say, for “terrorist and domestic threats” against the U.S. To be fair, the DHS says part of its keyword watch program is to monitor for natural disasters and weather-related emergency situations. Thus the words “tremor,” “lightning,” “blizzard,” and — horrifying to us here in Colorado yet again — “wildfire” on the list in the Analyst’s Desktop Binder. Similarly, health-related watch words include the innocuous “flu,” “wave,” and “symptoms.” Yet beyond these broad, vague, and ambiguous words on their watch list, I wonder why the DHS doesn’t just follow 24/7/365
C
breaking news on the Internet for their information about emergencies. When the first tweets about the Black Forest fire appeared, did someone at a desk in D.C. leap up to start the emergency response? If I were a betting woman, I’d put money on the fact that Colorado citizens and Colorado media sounded the alarm. The DHS denies that attention to personal (and ostensibly private) communication is aimed at policing the Internet for disparaging remarks about the government. I do believe that nothing on the Internet is private. I also believe that my government should not be profiling my posts. Nevertheless, the DHS monitors all communication on our social sites and online media. When government officials — who are necessarily more knowledgeable than I am about such matters — believe it’s necessary to monitor words such as “cloud,” “relief,” and “smart” in some incongruous version of Words with Friends, so be it. Just don’t tell me that I can choose who sees what on my social sites. Don’t lie to me about what my rights actually are. And although “privacy,” “free speech,” and “Fourth Amendment” aren’t on the DHS watch list — yet — the word “threat” is. Which is interesting because “threat” is now at the top of my personal word watch list, right after the phrase “Bill of Rights.” Andrea Doray is a writer who advocates for Benjamin Franklin’s belief that to give up a little liberty to gain a little security is to deserve neither and lose both.

Convicted murderer given 48 years Man given a new sentence for an old crime By Glenn Wallace
gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com
r
A convicted murderer was back in court on June 3 to be sentenced for the second time can for the killing of his friend in 2004. visitKenneth Epperson, 51, was convicted ling and sentenced to life in prison in 2005 for the murder of Brandon Lull. ng However, Epperson claimed that his dees fense attorney in the trial was negligent. Disunty eo
trict Court Judge Jane A. Tidball agreed, and vacated the guilty verdict and sentence in 2012, triggering new court proceedings. To avoid another trial the district attorney’s office accepted a plea bargain earlier this year. In the new deal, Epperson would plead guilty to second-degree murder and waive his right to appeal. He was sentenced to 48 years in prison. “This has been a long, tortuous case,” Judge Tidball said. “I hope this sentence brings some peace to the family.” Several members of the family spoke at the hearing. Among them was Angela Barrett, the victim’s girlfriend and mother of his youngest son.
Golf tourney honors police officer Funds will be donated to Judi’s House
if you go WHAT: James Davies Memorial Scholarship Golf Tournament
By Clarke Reader
WHERE: Applewood Golf Course, 14001 W. 32nd Ave., Golden
creader@ourcoloradonews.com Wrigley’s Chicago Bar and Grill is hosting the James Davies Memorial Golf Tournament in honor of the fallen Lakewood police officer. The tournament, planned as an annual event, will be at the Applewood Golf Course, 14001 W. 32nd Ave., on Saturday and Sunday, June 22 and 23. Tee off times begin at 7:30 a.m. Entry is $90, and includes 18 holes of golf, a cart, range balls, two drink tickets on the course, and an after party at Wrigley’s, 18200 W. Colfax Ave., which includes lunch, two drink tickets, prizes and live music. “We heard about officer Davies back in November, and we have a lot of Golden officers who come through here, so we were really able to relate to the event through them,” said Skip Perry, co-owner of Wrigley’s. “So we eventually thought why don’t we start an annual event to try and raise some money for the family.” Davies, 35, was killed in the line of duty on Nov. 9, 2012. Perry said that the original idea was to raise money for Davies’ children’s college funds, but after speaking with his wife, Tami, he was encouraged to donate to Judi’s House, a non-profit organization that provides help to grieving children and families. Davies’ family has been receiving help from the organization, and so the money raised from the tournament will go to the “James Davies Scholarship Fund,” which will provide educational scholarships to children working with Judi’s House. “Many parties approach Judi’s House to hold similar donor driven fundraising

com
events, which can range from large scale corporate golf tournaments to block parties organized by individual supporters,” said Ali Mabardi, development assistant with Judi’s House. “We never charge for our services, consequently donor driven events are a great way to support us in our endeavor to provide the most effective programming for the children and families who come to Judi’s House seeking a sense of normalcy and acceptance. “ Perry has reached out to businesses in Golden and Lakewood to sponsor a hole or provide prizes, and said that he has been touched by the response he has received from people. “We have businesses sponsoring a hole, which is $200, but we also have a lot of small businesses that are donating things like quilting classes or meals, and that’s great as well,” he said. Perry said they will start planning next year’s tournament as soon as this one wraps up. “We want to keep Davies’ legacy alive, and this is just one way we can remind people at least once a year to think about him and what he did,” Perry said. To sign up for the tournament, call 303277-1551 or send an e-mail to gator944@ msn.com. Participants can sign up the day
“Nothing can fill that gaping hole in our lives,” Barrett said, going on to describe Epperson as “egotistical, predatory and disgusting.” Barrett, and some of the other members of the Lull family, said they were upset over having the case reopened, and that the time Epperson could now spend in prison is inadequate. According to the district attorneys on the case, with credit for time served, Epperson could be eligible for parole in 13 years. “This is the result of a judicial system that cares more for the defendant than for the victims,” Barrett said. According to the court affidavit, Epperson was angry with Lull regarding an unreturned
rental truck. Epperson picked Lull up from a Lakewood apartment complex and began hitting and pistol whipping him. In the process, the handgun went off — which Epperson claimed was an accident. Lull was shot in the head. Epperson dumped Lull in a drainage gutter near Bear Creek Park, where he was later found dead. “He should have pulled the trigger twice. It would have been more humane,” Barrett said. “What I did was inexcusable,” Epperson said during a brief statement to the court. “Forgiveness is a gift I am not fit to receive,” Epperson said, adding that the words ‘I’m sorry’ fall short in his case.

Odyssey Beerwerks offers something for everyone Homebrewers bring international brews with Colorado twist to new Arvada location By Sara Van Cleve
svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com About two decades ago, longtime friends began an odyssey of homebrewing beer together. Today, Chris Hill and Josh Van Riper’s journey for has brought them to Arvada to open their own brewery — Odyssey Beerwerks, 5535 W. 56th Ave., Ste. 107. “Josh and I both like to travel and we both love the idea that it’s not necessarily about the destination, but it’s the experience, the journey,” Hill said. “We’ve had a lot of life experience and Odyssey just embodied that journey and experience. There’s ups and downs, but it’s all part of the journey.” Odyssey Beerwerks opened May 25 in Arvada and is now part of a new craft beer triangle in Arvada, which also includes Arvada Beer Company, 5600 Olde Wadsworth Blvd., and Yak and Yeti, 7803 Ralston Rd. “Now that there’s a triangle, hopefully more people will be coming out and trying the three different places,” Hill said. “Now you can do your own little mini beer tour in Arvada.” And Odyssey Beerwerks offers a sort of international beer tour for craft beer fans with everything from the Helios Hefeweizen to the Nebula Belgian Black Double

things,” Hill said. “On the one end of the spectrum we have the hefeweizen, a German-style wheat beer, and it’s not made to German standards and purity laws — it’s our spin on it.” On the other end of the spectrum is the Nebula. “If you’re looking for something very different we have the Nebula, which is a Belgian black double IPA,” he said. “For everybody familiars with IPAs, it’s not the traditional double IPA. It’s made with Belgian yeast and roasted malts. It’s a double IPA because its over 74 IBUs (international bittering units) and it’s 8.3 percent alcohol, but the other things going on really mellow it out. It’s a very complex beer.” With seven offerings so far, Odyssey has something for everyone, Hill said. Odyssey’s “beertenders” have even been trained to help beer novices figure out what tap they might like based on favorite foods and flavors, Hill said. “If there’s a theme it’s beers from around the world with a Colorado take on it,” he said. Craft beer fans can also expect to see their menu expand and change with the addition of seasonal brews in the future, including a pumpkin ale and Russian imperial stout. Most of the recipes are developed by Van Riper and “the Brew Crew” and have been tweaked through trial and error over the past two decades until they’ve reached the final product — which is now served at Odyssey Beerwerks. Hill and Van Riper have kept their focus on what they know best — beer — Hill said, so food is not on the menu. However, customers can bring in any food they like or have food delivered to the taproom. While Hill and Van Riper spent most of
their lives in Fort Collins and are both alumni of Colorado State University, their brewery is what brought them to Arvada. “We looked everywhere from north Denver to Fort Collins and Arvada had a great space and great demographics,” Hill said. “It seems like an up-and-coming community. You’re close to everything. We love that the bike trail runs across the street from us, and the Gold Line is going in a block or two away. It just felt right.” All of the brewing operations are done in house through the brewery’s 15-barrel system with the system designed to reduce and reuse resources when possible, such as reducing the amount of hot water used and giving the used grain and barley to a local farmer to feed his livestock. Odyssey Beerwerks also tries to use as many recyclable products as possible and much of the seating and decorations are upcycled. Even the décor of the taproom will change each month as the brewery features artwork from different featured local artists. Residents can begin their own international journey with Odyssey Beerwerks brews on tap at the brewery. The beer will soon be available on tap at locations around Arvada and Wheat Ridge and in cans at area liquor stores in the coming weeks. The taproom is open 3-9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 2-10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 12-7 p.m. Sunday. There is live music on Wednesdays and Saturdays, trivia at 6 p.m. Mondays and food trucks on Fridays and Saturdays. On Sundays, any customers who ride his bicycle to the brewery will get a free fourounce taster with the purchase of a pint.

Celebrating July Fourth with festival, fireworks Festivals Commission hosting annual free celebration at sports complex By Sara Van Cleve

The yard of Norm and Linda Finfrock, 9936 W. 87 th Place, features a fairy garden, an outdoor kitchen, a pond and numerous unique and “up-cycled” plant holders and garden decorations. The Finfrocks’ garden is part of the Arvada Historical Society’s 2013 Garden Tour.

PHOTOS BY SARA VAN CLEVE The Arvada Historical Society is hosting its third annual Garden Tour/Fundraiser. This year’s tour will feature six residential gardens and the Rose Roots Community Garden, all of which have their own unique offerings from xeriscaping to water features and fairy gardens to rose gardens. The tour will be 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 22, and begins at the Arvada Flour Mill, 5590 Olde Wadsworth Blvd. Residents can visit as many gardens as they wish in whatever order they like. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased starting at 8:30 a.m. at the Flour Mill. This year’s proceeds will go toward planting a garden around the base of a recently-completed tree sculpture of Clemency McIlvoy by David Mitchell at the McIlvoy House, 7307 Grandview Ave. For more information, call Mary Jo Giddings at 303421-2032.
Pam Easton and her granddaughter Bria, 11, created a fairy garden in a secluded area of Easton’s large yard. Bria will be in the fairy garden on June 22 during the Garden Tour to tell attendees about the story she created about the fairies, Easton said.
Arvadans can celebrate America’s 237th birthday this year with free fun and fireworks courtesy of the Arvada Festivals Commission. The commission, in conjunction with KOOL 105, the city of Arvada and Apex Park and Recreation District is hosting the annual 4th of July celebration beginning at 4 p.m. Thursday, July 4, at Stenger and Lutz Sports Complex at 58th Avenue and Oak Street. The festival leading up to the fireworks show will feature food vendors, community booths, military vehicle and fire department vehicle displays, a classic car show and live music from Wide Open and FIVE13. Children will be able to jump on five inflatables from Apex, pet alpacas, get their face painted, play games and do activities for free. Children can also roll around in giant hamster balls for a small fee. “It’s a fun event for the whole family,” said Nancy Bentzen, chair of the Festivals Commission. “And everyone loves fireworks.” This year’s fireworks are planned to begin at 9 p.m. and KOOL 105 will simulcast music to accompany the show.
As of publication, there were no fire bans in effect that will prevent the fireworks show from being staged. While the best viewing spot for the fireworks is at the sports complex, the fireworks can be seen from spots around the city, Bentzen said. Residents will be able to park in the Stenger and Lutz parking lots off of Oak Street beginning at 3 p.m. Attendees will not be able to save parking spots. RV parking will be on the west side of the Stenger Complex and handicapped parking will be in the lower lot at Lutz. No parking is allowed on Kipling Street. The intersection of Oak Street and W. 58th Avenue will close with the lots are full. With thousands of people expected to attend the celebration and fireworks show, carpooling is recommended, Bentzen said. Celebration attendees are not allowed to bring alcohol or pets into the complex. Personal fireworks are also prohibited in Arvada and laws will be enforced at the event and in surrounding neighborhoods. For more information on the celebration, including up-to-date information on the firework show, visit www.ArvadaFestivals.com or call 720-898-7400.

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working? I love to sing and play tennis. I have a 20-month-old daughter Evelyn and so I like to spend my free time with her and my husband Ryan. During the summer, we like to go to the neighborhood pool and do cookouts and during the winter months, we love playing games and Sunday dinner with my family and going to Steamboat to ski.

ket value will bring for your home. The old adage in real estate is that you do not make money when you sell a house you make money if you buy it at the right price. I also recommend that a certified home stager stage all homes before photos and hitting the MLS. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Hire a competent agent to represent you…though it is easy to find houses online, it’s hard to negotiate and get through the storm of paperwork and deadlines without professional assistance. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? We get to see it all! We have seen immaculate homes up to $2 and 3 Million that wow and impress, down to the shanty and stinky! The funniest/most unusual house was a time when I showed a 1975 brick ranch in Lakewood that was ALL original. It had near-perfect burnt orange shag carpet, which ran up the walls to the ceiling, pristine iron and orange stained glass light fixtures with swagged chains draped from the ceilings. There was this huge wet bar perfectly preserved from the 70’s with dark wood wainscoting and orange countertops… it was classic…the clients and I laughed and ooh’d and aww’d the whole tour. I will never forget it!
How long have you lived in the area? 29 years What do you like most about it? Proximity to Denver, Foothills and Boulder How long have you worked in Real Estate? 10 years What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? Certified Residential Specialist, I only do residential sales-buying and selling, relocation, new construction and consultation. This is my bread and butter…what it means is that I am very good at what I love to do!

Money Matters:
Ac A Ju
What is a PMI and will I need it? P
rimary mortgage insurance, or PMI, protects lenders in the event that borrowers default on their primary mortage by ceasing to make payments, resulting in homes ending up in foreclosure. But all borrowers do not have to pay PMI. Typically, home buyers must make a 20 percent down payment on a home when they buy it. However, some borrowers are unable to put down 20 percent. In such instances, the lender will require they
pay PMI. This is because the lender views a borrower who cannot make an initial 20 percent down payment as a riskier investment, and lenders charge PMI in an effort to protect themselves should the borrower prove worthy of their skepticism. PMI will be factored into the monthly mortgage payment, but borrowers should know they do not have to continue paying PMI once they have paid enough toward the principal amount of the loan.
8 Little 303
acad
APC
For most, this means once they have paid 20 percent of the principal, then they can ask that the monthly PMI payment be removed. Many borrowers are unaware of this or even forget to ask, but it’s within their rights as borrowers and can save a substantial amount of money over the course of the mortgage loan. ■

Method
For the cake:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease an 8-inch springform pan. Set aside. 2. Sift together the 2 cups of flour, the baking powder and the salt. Set aside. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg. Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the milk. Toss the beries with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour (to separate and scatter evenly throughout the batter) and fold in. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Set aside. 3. Combine ingredients for topping with a fork to make crumbly mixture. Sprinkle this over the batter. 4. Bake for one hour, then test for doneness by gently inserting a fork. If it does not come out clean, give the cake another 5 to 10 minutes to bake. 5. When the cake has cooled, run a knife around the edges and lift the cake out of the pan. Serve with whipped cream.
-2 cups and 1-2 Tbsp of sifted, all purpose flour separated -2 teaspoons baking powder -1/2 teaspoon salt -1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened -3/4 cup sugar -1 large egg -1/2 cup milk -1 pint blueberries For the topping: -1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened -1/2 cup sugar -1/3 cup sifted all purpose flour -1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey and ginger; cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Stir in the cooked
rice, bell pepper, water chestnuts, broth, hoisin sauce, five-spice powder and salt; cook until heated through, about 1 minute. 3. To serve, spoon portions of the turkey mixture into lettuce leaves, top with herbs and carrot and roll into wraps.
2. Melt the margarine and honey together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Do not let the sauce boil. 3. Thread a peach quarter, a plum quarter, a banana piece, and a strawberry onto each skewer. Place the skewers onto the foil on the preheated grill; spoon margarine-honey mixture over each skewer. 4.

The package was wrapped so nicely. The paper was festive, the colors zesty with frou-frou ribbon and a shiny bow on top. Surely, if it was possible for someone to make a career out of wrapping gifts, it was such a person who wrapped this one. Too bad it was a gift you never wanted. Yes, we’ve all had them: odd presents, awkward presents, thought-thatcounts things. And in the new book “The Patron Saint of Lost Dogs” by Nick Trout, this unwanted gift was a big one … If his life hadn’t fallen apart back in South Carolina, veterinary pathologist Dr. Cyrus Mills would never have returned to Eden Falls, Vt. There was nothing in Vermont for him anymore, really. His mother was dead. His father had only recently taken his last breath, although Bill Cobb had been dead to Cyrus for fifteen years. And with no family there and only bad memories, Cyrus couldn’t see any reason to return. But there was no reason to stay in Charleston, either: Cyrus’ medical license had been recently suspended in a not-quite-resolved scandal and he was near-penniless. So when he learned that he’d inherited his father’s veterinary practice, Cyrus knew where he could get the money to clear his name. But he was wrong.
The Bedside Manor for Sick Animals was very sick itself. As hard-hearted as Cobb was to his son, he was a beloved doctor but a poor bill-collector, and a softie for his patients and their owners. Many Eden Falls residents owed Bedside Manor money. Vendors had canceled contracts. Equipment was outdated and supplies were low. The clinic needed emergency treatment. All Cyrus wanted was to sell it off, but he learned that it wouldn’t be easy, especially since many people, including the clinic’s few employees, relied on Bedside Manor in many ways. He hated what the business represented — an absent, distant, uncaring father — but he wasn’t just going to give it away. He’d have to muddle through – as long as someone didn’t give away his secret … So you say you’re in the mood for something light, maybe a little romantic with a pinch of mystery. You want fiction, but some authenticity would be welcome. And that’s why you want “The Patron Saint of Lost Dogs.” It’s no accident that realism lies in the pages of this debut novel: author Nick Trout is also a veterinarian, so the
knowledge of his esoteric-fact-loving main character is legitimate as well as entertaining. I loved the geekiness of Trout’s Cyrus Mills, in fact, and I loved the Bedford-Falls-like neighbors and clients he had — which is not to diminish the roles of the various pets, all equal cast members in this sweetly gentle book. This is the kind of novel you can hand to your grandmother, loan to your teen, share with your friends, and recommend to your book group. It’s Cute with a capital “C,” and you should read it. For anyone who loves a pet and a good novel, “The Patron Saint of Lost Dogs” is the total package.
Boulder Theatre puts new spin on Land of Oz I’ve probably see “The Wizard of Oz” at least 20 times including playing the role of the Cowardly Lion in high school way back in the middle of the last century. I have never seen a more creative interpretation than the current production at Boulder’s Dinner Theatre. I can’t tell you the number of times I said to myself, “I don’t remember that part.” BDT veteran Alicia Dunfee not only handled the roles of director-choreographer with abundant skill, she also played the roles of Auntie Em and an apple tree. In addition, she was frequently on stage as a member of the ensemble. She must have had at least eight costume changes. And, she was our beverage server. The folks at BDT are definitely not one-trick ponies. Wayne Kennedy (The Wizard/Professor Marvel) also did the audio design which was excellent. Matt Peters and Jessica Hindsley choreographed and performed the impressive cyclone aerial number which was a real crowd pleaser. Sarah Grover quickly won the hearts of the audience in her inaugural BDT role as Dorothy, and one can
only hope this will be the first of many appearances on the boards in Boulder. Seth Caikowski made me proud to have once been the lion. He had the audience in the palm of his paw, while Bob Hoppe and Scott Beyette turned in stellar performances as Tin Man and Scarecrow. Brian Norber was perfect as the stoic Uncle Henry and his green-jeweled eyebrows only enhanced his role as the keeper of the gate at the Emerald City. He’s also a fine dinner server…but he’s a better actor. Barb Reeves took the role of Wicked Witch of the West to new heights — literally. She spent lots of time hanging onto the scaffolding. Her evil cackle brought down the house. And, no one could be sweeter or more sparkly than Glinda, The Good
Witch (Tracy Warren). She was the essence of precious. Joanie Brosseau nearly stole the show as Nikko, one of the flying monkeys. She had strong competition in the show-stealing department from the Children’s Ensemble, not to mention, Max the dog, who didn’t miss a single cue. All in all, a delightful evening. Ticket sales are brisk (and no wonder). “The Wizard of Oz” plays through Aug. 31, which will be here more quickly than you think.

in the Rocky Mountains just west of Denver, is a way for children ages 6-12 to explore their feelings of grief and share memories of their loved ones. Over a thousand children have attended Camp Comfort since its establishment in 1995. During this extraordinary weekend, children learn ways to cope with their grief through workshops led by licensed social workers and trained bereavement professionals. A volunteer “buddy” system (with no more than two children to one adult) ensures that children receive plenty of personal, oneon-one attention. And, while children are encouraged to share memories and express their grief, Camp Comfort offers fun, too. The daily itinerary includes plenty of opportunities for recreation including swimming, horseback riding, arts and crafts, fishing, and hiking. The cost to attend Camp Comfort, including all workshops, recreation, meals, snacks, and overnight accommodations, is $150. Scholarships are available based on financial need. For more information, or to receive a brochure, visit the Camp Comfort website at www.CampComfort.org or call Mt. Evans at 303-674-6400.

What To Do:
Sidewalk and street painting are popular around the world. Many groups sell sections of a street or sidewalk to raise money for fund or fun raisers. Google “Naples Rotary sidewalk painting” and you will be able to see festivals in the US and around the world with beautiful examples of paintings from all ages. Families can have their own little festival or just an afternoon of fun that can be safely washed away when ev-

purple, blue and yellow make green. Experiment by adding white to some colors. Add black or mix three colors together. What happens? Carry on a conversation of what objects in nature have these colors. Family conversation is key to reading and doing well in school. Children need three million words of conversation in their early years to help them learn to read well. Look at some pictures in children’s favorite books ahead of time. Ask children to draw a picture on paper first so you know what colors to make. Children may change their minds, but this helps them plan. They might want to make a rainbow, a portrait of themselves, or family. They may like to draw a cartoon figure, animal, cars, princesses, flowers, or spaceships. Maybe they want to make a design with geometric shapes. This is a good time to use geometry and Ed Emberley’s step-by-step drawing books. Draw 2-foot squares for young children to fill with a painting and help them print their name on the picture. Discuss that these paintings will be washed with the rain so take many photos. Food coloring and paint may stain skin and clothing.

eryone is agreeable or during the next rain shower. Recipes vary depending how well you want the sidewalk chalk paint to spread. The basic recipe is one-cup water, one-cup cornstarch, food coloring or poster paint for the desired colors. Use two cups of water for a thinner paint. Colors, especially the food coloring, will dry lighter so make all colors dark. Containers that don’t spill easily are best rather than tippy cups. Some people use small individual plastic food containers with covers. Paint does not keep very well, however. This is an excellent opportunity to teach color mixing of the primary colors red, blue, and yellow. These colors make secondary colors: red and yellow make orange, red and blue make

Tips to keep you cool for summer workouts Th Incorporating new habits and precautions into your warm-weather workouts can keep you safe, motivated, and cool. TOPS Club Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, offers the following tips to make the most of your summer fitness plans: 1) Fill up on fruit: Water-heavy fruits — like watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, and grapes — are a great way to boost energy and replenish fluids lost after a workout. Containing more than 80 percent water, these fruits are easily digestible in the summer heat and are a tasty way to keep hydrated and satisfied. Eating them frozen also makes a refreshing summer treat.
2) Reroute for optimal shade: If your usual running, walking, or cycling route makes you an easy target for sun exposure, opt for a shadier course. Road Runners Club of America features running routes around the country on their website, www.rrca.org. Weather.com also offers local parks’ forecasts and a fitness comfort index by the hour — ideal for determining the best time of day to exercise. 3) Incorporate the season into your routine: Make summer chores part of your fitness plan for time-saving and warm weather-friendly exercise. Washing the car, gardening, taking the dog for a walk, and mowing the lawn, are all activities on your

The psychological marriage and the psychological divorce Dear Neil: I’m married, but I’m not in an intimate relationship, and I’m not happily married, either. We lead almost entirely separate lives, and we sleep in separate bedrooms. I am not at all confident that she loves me; she certainly doesn’t act like she likes or loves me. We are married in name, but not in spirit. Is there anything I can do to change this problem? We are evangelical Christians, and we don’t believe in divorce. Unhappy in Florida Dear Unhappy: In every marriage there are actually three separate marriages: The marriage of the church (married in the eyes of God), the marriage of the state (your marriage certificate, which makes it legal in the eyes of the law) and the psychological marriage. For many people, the three marriages are not aligned. Some people psychologically marry way before they actually get legally married, and other people may psychologically divorce even though they remain married in the eyes of the church and the law. Of the three marriages, you determine which one is the most significant and valuable to you. People who remain married
because they think that their marriage has been blessed by God tend to stay together — whether they love each other (and enjoy each other’s company) or not. People who stay together because their marriage has been sanctioned by the law are, on the whole, less committed to remain together when the going gets really tough. People who are psychologically married will fight with everything they’ve got to preserve the relationship and to avoid a divorce. They tend to feel more intense and more passionate toward each other than either of the others. If all three of these marriages are aligned and connected, you are likely to be a very stable couple. But what happens when they’re not aligned? What happens, for in-
stance, when one person acts as if they’ve psychologically divorced the other, but they in fact remain married — which is what you’ve described. So let me state the obvious: If one person psychologically divorces the other, the most important and most vital marriage is essentially over, even if you stay together. That means you might stay bonded in the eyes of God and the law, but your relationship ceases to be close and compelling, and the two of you will grow more distant, less affectionate, less intimate. If you are psychologically married, but you’re not confident your spouse is, make a serious attempt at addressing what has happened. Ask her what distanced her from you, and what she would need in order to consider coming back to you. Ask her: “Are you getting your needs met in this relationship? If not, what would you like different?” and “What could I do — or stop doing — that would make this relationship considerately better for you than it is now?” You have to be willing to listen to her answers without anger, defensiveness or any retaliatory comebacks. Your goal is to understand what she is
feeling and what she would like different, not to defend yourself or justify your actions. Are her requests things that you might be willing to do? If so, you increase the chances that the two of you will be able to rekindle the relationship. If she has no serious requests of substance or significance, your relationship may have crossed the line where it is unlikely to be resuscitated no matter what you do. See if you can assist your relationship in warming up, by also doing such things as inviting her out on a date, holding hands, hugging, saying “I love you,” leaving her sweet messages and being kind and considerate of her. If none of this works, are you prepared to spend the rest of your life married but psychologically divorced?

Fifteen Denver-area chefs were fired up June 12 to compete for top slider honors during the fifth annual Hot Rocks Griller Challenge at Elway’s Cherry Creek, a benefit for the Denver Health Foundation. Roughly 1,000 attendees scarfed down sliders made from between-the-bun ingredients that varied from wild boar (Elise Wiggins, Panzano) to country ham with pickled green tomato (Jennifer Jasinski, Rioja, Bistro Vendome, Euclid Hall) to grilled watermelon (Paul Reilly, Beast + Bottle). The winners of the slider smackdown were determined by popular vote as well as chefs’ choice. People’s choice: First — Tyler Wiard and Aniedra Nichols of Elway’s Cherry Creek. Second — Troy Guard of TAG, TAG Raw Bar and TAG Burger Bar. Third — Steve Ballas of Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs. Chefs’ choice: First — Troy Guard. Second — Max MacKissock of Squeaky Bean. Third — Jennifer Jasinski of Rioja, Bistro Vendome and Euclid Hall. Worth noting: I’ve attended all five Hot Rocks events, and this year the chefs kicked it up a notch on the side dishes that accompanied the sliders. Standouts included Guard’s five-grain salad, Robert Bogart’s (Elway’s Downtown) potato and black bean salad (I heard one slider slurper say, “I wish I could buy that stuff!”), Reilly’s braised collard greens and Jasinski’s mixed melon salad.

According to Parson, many of the perception art pieces came out of the first hippie communes and counter-culture centers. The pieces vary in style and medium, from images that give the appearance of 3D, to 3D works that give the appearance of being 2D. There are also interactive video installations that take the colors the viewer is wearing and integrate them into the piece.
Did the Paramount Theatre, downtown Denver’s historical performance center, change its name to Paramount New York? It did for one day. On June 12, Hollywood moved east to the Mile High City to shoot the feature film “Dear Eleanor,” starring Jessica Alba, Luke Wilson, Paul Johansson, Ione Skye, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Isabelle Fuhrman. The production caused quite a stir among downtown workers and passersby who spotted the new name on the marquee as well as all the vintage automobiles parked along Glenarm Place. The storyline follows two best friends who travel cross-country in the 1960s to meet Eleanor Roosevelt, their childhood hero. Other Denver venues playing cameo roles in the movie are LoDo and the Mayan Theater. One local notable who landed a part in the film is Rekha Ohal, the exotic and lovely piano player who is a regular at Elway’s Cherry Creek. Ohal posted on her Facebook page: “My gig today: playing the part of a piano player in 1962 for a movie that’s being filmed in Denver. At least I know how to play the piano! The rest I’ll have to figure out as I go along.” For more details on the Denver-centric movie, go to www.onlocationvacations. com/2013/06/12/dear-eleanor-starringjessica-alba-spotted-filming-in-downtowndenver-co-today/.

Fox Hollow golf course second to none in experience Course is celebrating 20th anniversary this August By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com LAKEWOOD — Five minutes from Red Rocks and just 15 minutes from downtown Denver sits one of Colorado’s best golf courses. Fox Hollow, the Lakewood municipal golf course that feels and looks more like a private golf club, has just wrapped up its second decade of overwhelming success. The golf course is celebrating its 20th anniversary this August and although Fox Hollow has been challenging Colorado golfers since 1993, if you come to the course for the first time you may think it’s brand new. “The trees are certainly all 20 years older but we like to think Fox Hollow is always continuing to stay modernized,” Fox Hollow head professional Craig Parzybok said. “We want the course to be as welcoming and inviting to our guests as possible.” Not satisfied with just 18 holes? Well, Fox Hollow offers three different and very unique nine hole experiences. The Canyon: Negotiate a challenging plunge down narrow Coyote Gulch, including Fox Hollow’s signature fifth hole. This 445-yard, par 4 hole includes an 80foot elevation drop from the end of the fairway to the green. The Meadow: Swing into this streamside nine, where Bear Creek and other water hazards sparkle amid ancient cottonwood trees. The Links: Unwind on a Scottish-style nine set against a sweeping vista of the Rocky Mountain foothills rising steeply to the west. With five sets of tees, golfers of every ability will feel at home. Fox Hollow was one of the first golf courses in the nation designed to be completely accessible to golfers with disabilities.

Photo by Daniel Williams “With our five sets of tees you can come out here and play a very long course for the big hitters, but you can also play a small course if you wish,” Parzybok said. In addition, your round of golf could potentially turn into a wildlife viewing area. Just moments from the Rocky Mountains, Fox Hollow is also known to host a variety of wildlife. “Fox Hollow is hands down one of the best public courses around Denver,” said Tom Craine, a Fox Hollow regular. “The scenery is second to none, there is great
value and you have three different courses to choose from. In 1994 Golf Digest nationally recognized and awarded Fox Hollow as the No. 2 “Best New Course in America,” and Golf Digest and Colorado Golf magazines have consistently recognized Fox Hollow as a “Top 10 Public Golf Course in Colorado.” It also features an award-winning clubhouse. The City of Lakewood also maintains Homestead Golf Course. A very popular course in its own right, Homestead is one of two Lakewood golf courses with
magnificent views of downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountains. Fox Hollow and Homestead offer a unique mix of terrain types and course challenges. Nestled next to Bear Creek Lake Park and the Rocky Mountain foothills, both courses offer an opportunity for escape and relaxation with tranquil lakes, quiet streams and spectacular vistas. Fox Hollow Golf Course is located on Morrison Road a half mile west of Kipling Parkway and 3 1/2 miles east of C470 in Lakewood.
Pomona’s Klatt to leave RMAC Football Media Day set for August state for Fox Sports 1 Athlete turned radio personality will soon turn into TV star By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews. com ARVADA — Pomona’s own Joel Klatt has officially hit the big-time. Not that the former Colorado Buffaloes starting quarterback wasn’t always a regional star. But now the rest of the nation will soon get to know Klatt as he will leave Colorado to join Fox’s new national sports network “Fox Sports 1” starting in July. Klatt was a multi-sport star at Pomona before going to University of Colorado where he was the program’s first three-year starter since Kordell Stewart. Klatt went on to play in the Padres’ minor league system, as well as the NFL for a stint with the New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions. After his playing days, Klatt has since worked in sports talk radio for a few different stations in town, before taking a job with Root Sports, where he is a part of the Colorado Rockies on air team. The definition of an all-American boy who made it big, Klatt caught the eye of Fox Sports who quickly locked him up to a multiyear deal. Already having experience call-
ing college football games from the broadcast booth for FSN Rocky Mountain, Root Sports and Fox, Klatt was a natural fit for the job. But that also means Klatt will be forced to move his family out of Colorado and to Los Angeles. Klatt said he doesn’t know what his exact role will be with Fox Sports 1, but it may include work as a studio host and also being a presence in college football booths. Klatt’s move will happen July 1 and Fox Sports 1. The outlet is being launched as a direct competition to ESPN. Fox Sports 1 has already hired over 200 sportscasters and personalities, and will debut Aug. 17. Joel was coached by his father, Gary Klatt, the head coach at Pomona High School. As a junior on defense he had four interceptions playing in the secondary, helping the team to a 10-3 record, winning the Jeffco league championship. As a senior at quarterback, Klatt was 78-125 passes (62.4 percent) for 1,250 yards and 16 touchdowns leading the team to a 5-5 record and earning second-team all-state honors. He also played basketball (three-time letterman) at guard and baseball primarily at shortstop earning first-team all-state his senior year and helped his team to runner-up in the state tournament.
Cross country, swimming and diving also honored for academics
By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews. com GOLDEN - Summer is nearly in full swing but the football season is also just around the corner. Colorado School of Mines head football coach Bob Stitt will address the media as part of the eighth annual RMAC Football Media Day, which is set for Monday, Aug. 5, at the Colorado Springs Marriott Hotel. Each of RMAC’s 10 head coaches will take questions about the upcoming season between 10 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. The 2013 RMAC Football Preseason Coaches poll and awards will be released on August 5. The Orediggers concluded the 2012 campaign with a 6-5 record and a 4-5 mark in the RMAC.
MINES ATHLETES HONORED FOR ACADEMICS
The Colorado School of Mines women’s cross country team as well as the men’s swimming and diving team were both honored as the inaugural recipient of the RMAC’s Brechler Award, given to the top academic team in each of the conference’s 21 sports. Backed by a conference-
Mines football coach Bob Still coaching up his team during the 2012 season. Courtesy of Mines Athletics leading six RMAC First Team All-Academic selections, Mines men’s swimming and diving, the No. 2-ranked CSCAA Scholar AllAmerica team, totaled a collective 3.32 GPA. The Orediggers’ women’s cross country team featured a team GPA of 3.65, fourth-highest across all sports. Only student-athletes who used a season of competition during the 2012-13 school year were considered. The total quality points for both semesters divided by the total number of credits for both semesters determined the team GPA. Team GPAs
were submitted to the RMAC office by each school’s director of compliance. Plaques for each team will be presented at the 2013 RMAC Hall of Fame and Awards banquet on Friday, July 12, at the Colorado Springs Marriott Hotel. The award is named after Paul W. Brechler, the first Commissioner of the RMAC (1976-90), who along with his wife, Wanda, were the first inductees into the RMAC Hall of Fame. Brechler previously served as athletic director at the University of Iowa and was Commissioner of the Western Athletic Conference.

Postseason failures meant Karl had to go George “The Animal” Steele was a professional wrestler and a bald-headed maniac. He had these crazy, unorthodox ring antics that would confuse the heck out of his opponents — especially during his fits of rage where he would use his mouth to rip the stuffing out of a turnbuckle. Steele’s bizarre behavior endeared him to a generation of wrestling fans. And I thought of him while I was watching another George — Karl, that is — coach his Denver Nuggets against the Minnesota Timberwolves earlier this year. When Nuggets guard Ty Lawson got called for a ridiculous foul, George “The Coach” Karl when ballistic in a way that would have made George “The Animal” blush. Arms flailing, his balding head turning beet red, Karl shoved his own players and assistant coaches out of his way during an epic, obscenity-laced tirade aimed at one of the referees. The whole thing really should have been played out in a steel cage instead of on a basketball court. It was a sight to see. And no one throws a fit quite like Karl. We won’t see Furious George on the Nuggets sideline any more. He was fired earlier this month. And while I’ll miss Karl’s theatrics, Nuggets president Josh Kroenke was right to put the sleeper hold on George’s tenure in Denver. Yes, Karl has won a whole lot of games in his 25-year NBA head coaching career. He’s amassed more than 1,100 regularseason wins and has gone 21 straight years without having a losing record. Under Karl, the Nuggets won 423 games and made the playoffs in each of his nine seasons. That success included this season’s 57 regular-season-win team, a feat that earned Karl Coach of the Year honors.

The Nuggets were a high-octane machine under Karl and were one of the youngest and most exciting teams in the NBA. They may not have had a superstar, but they had incredible depth at every position. So, Karl did some very good things in Denver. But a funny thing happens to Karl’s Nuggets every postseason. They lose — a lot. When the Nuggets lost to Golden State last month, it became the eighth time in nine seasons that Denver exited the first round of the playoffs under Karl’s leadership. And, according to ESPN Stats and Information, 41 teams in the history of the NBA won at least 31 of their final 40 regular-season games in an 82-game season. Of those teams, only six of them lost in the first round of the playoffs. Karl coached three of those squads. Oh, sure. Nuggets ball is a blast in the regular season. They score a whole lot of points and all their fans get tacos. But trying to play Taco Tempo in the postseason only leads to a heck of a lot of heartburn. Good teams pack the paint against Denver, forcing the Nuggets to play a half-court game. Without quality shooters, Denver — already The Team That Couldn’t Shoot Straight — becomes a clueless gang of Sixth Men. And the Nuggets didn’t just lose to

Golden State, they got lit up like a kite being flown by Benjamin Franklin. They couldn’t stop Stephen Curry. Heck, the Nuggets couldn’t stop Ann Curry. Denver gave up 100 or more points against the Warriors four times that series, including a 131-point disaster in Game Two. And how did Karl respond to what the underdog Warriors threw at his Nuggets team? What were his adjustments? I dunno. I still don’t know what Karl was up to that series. Karl’s coaching against Golden State reminded me of the scene in Mel Brooks’ “History of the World Part I,” where penniless Frenchmen tried to sell everything from rats to apple cores during the heartless reign of King Louis XVI, just before the French Revolution occurred. “Nothing,” one vagabond shouted to passersby. “I got absolutely nothing for sale!” And he actually stood next to a sign that said so. George Karl had absolutely nothing against Golden State. The only thing missing was the sign. I admire the courage that Karl showed during his two fights with cancer. He’s a survivor and I admire his refusal to let cancer win. And, like George “The Animal” Steele, Karl was fun to watch. And Nuggets games at the Pepsi Center were must-see events. George Steele put fans in the seats, too. But his style never amounted to anything beyond that of a novelty act. And now, after yet another Nuggets postseason collapse under Karl, fans are left with a bad taste in their mouths — one that tastes an awful lot like turnbuckle stuffing.
