To rescue is Golden Hijackers Arvada dog rescue nurtures health and happiness By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com A bond created between an owner and his best friend, is a friendship that can last a lifetime, but for some animals, that bond is cut short. Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies (GRRR), 15350 W. 72 Ave., is a nonprofit center for lost, abandoned or surrendered golden retrievers. Founded in 1996 by a local dog trainer, the rescue has been devoted to nurture of more than 3,000 rescued dogs. “Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome them,” said Kevin Shipley, executive director of the rescue. “There is no shortage of dogs to be rescued.” Located on four and a half acres in west Arvada, the rescue can house as many as 20 dogs at the facility, in both kennels and the home of Animal Caregiver, Mary Kenton. At GRRR, rescues are treated with extensive care throughout their stay, ensuring they have every need, whether medical, physical or emotional met. “At the end of the day, our objective — it sounds goofy to say — we represent the dog, we’re their voice, and we’re going to find a family that makes the dog happy,” Shipley said. On arrival, each dog is given an extensive medical exam, any necessary shots, and is evaluated to find out its character and habits. On the property, animals have access to a training facility, a trainer, a groomer, a large dog park, known as “Woof,” and hours of socialization with other rescues and volunteers daily. “The thing that’s so great about the rescue is, it’s not about finding a home for the dog, but the right home for the dog,” said Barbara Crook, a volunteer with the organization. GRRR receives around 25 applications a week from individuals and families wishing to adopt one of their rescues, giving the rescue options for finding the best fit for the dog, and the family.

For Kenton, working with the dogs provides a sense of joy. “I love them, they’re so rewarding and they appreciate everything you give them. They’re just wonderful dogs, and so genuinely sweet,” she said.

Christopher Sullivan, the man identified as the offender who wreaked havoc on Lookout Mountain with an unidentified female juvenile on Wednesday, July 23, is being held in a Jefferson County jail on a $1 million cash bond. Sullivan was advised of his charges on July 30, which included criminal attempt first-degree murder of a police officer, aggravated robbery, first-degree aggravated motor vehicle theft, criminal attempt first-degree aggravated motor vehicle theft, identity theft, theft and numerous warrants from previous crimes. After being pulled over during a routine traffic stop last week, SulSullivan livan and the female juvenile took off on foot which led to a manhunt by the Colorado State Patrol and Golden police. During the search by law enforcement, the suspects began a two-hour crime spree across Lookout Mountain that included vehicle thefts, home burglaries and menacing of 12 bystanders. Both the female and Sullivan were eventually caught after a Jeffco motorcycle officer tackled Sullivan on the pavement on Interstate 70. The juvenile female is being held at the Mount View Youth Detention facility on charges of criminal attempt first-degree murder of a police officer, aggravated robbery, first degree aggravated motor vehicle theft and criminal attempt first degree aggravated motor vehicle theft. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone who believes they may have been a victim, a witness or has any knowledge of potential evidence regarding this crime spree to contact the Sheriff’s Office tip line at 303-271-0211.
A new fire place Arvada Fire Protection District opens new maintenance building By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Cramped into a break room full of storage, the Arvada Fire Protection District Support Services Team realized it was running out of space, and fast. Located behind Station 8, at 64th Avenue and Quaker Street, a solution to the quest for space is about to open. Arvada Fire Protection District’s new Maintenance Facility is a 9,600-squarefoot building serving the district’s fleet vehicles and building maintenance needs. Here, technicians, mechanics and other support services staff will be able to work on any problem associated with any of the district’s facilities or 55 fleet vehicles. “I’m excited to have space, it really is about having space,” said Chris Ambrosia, director of support services with the dis-
trict’s support services team. Planning for a new space began two years ago when the current facility began to run out of space for the team’s parts and tools. Construction on the new facility began in August 2013. This new, two-story facility will have two large offices housing the maintenance coordinator and technicians; a locker room, break room, storage space on the main level and a mezzanine for overflow storage, and a large floor space where the team can work on up to six vehicles at a time. “We have never built a shop specifically for maintenance and repair of apparatus and support vehicles,” said Arvada Fire Protection District Chief Jon Greer. “With the vehicle maintenance duties being moved to the new facility, the training center can now function as a training facility.” A $1.1 million project, the building has taken under a year to complete, and is part of a larger effort to renovate, remodel and add on to several of the district’s stations, training centers, and the new maintenance facility. The new facility will allow the district the opportunity to de-clutter their training facility and expand their

and that will enhance the training we now do in addition to the items above that benefit our mechanics.” Pending a final inspection, the building is set to open July 31.

Chambers strive to make connections Networking is not a lost art, business groups’ leaders say By Chris Rotar crotar@coloradocommunitymedia.com High heels, ties knotted tight, cell phones set to silent mode. Polite conversation permeates the room. Business cards are dealt with a smile. Eggs, bacon, breakfast burritos. Captains of industry sip coffee. They’re juiced. They are gathered at a chamber of commerce function, in a town near you, in hopes of gleaning the nuggets of wisdom that can take their business to the next level. This morning’s presentation could be on commercial real estate sales, or it could be on the need to expand public transportation. Some might say, however, that what happened in the minutes before — the handshakes, the eye contact, the heaping helpings of conversation — is the main attraction. No doubt, networking remains vital in the business world. But are scenarios like the one above as important as they once were?
Name tag vs. hashtag Lakewood resident Ernie Witucki was the CEO of chambers of commerce in Colorado, Indiana and New Mexico in the 1960s and 1970s. He believes convincing chamber members to attend networking events can be a tough sell. “It’s hard to get chamber members to break away from work,” said Witucki, who remains active in chambers in Jefferson County. “Social events are good, but you’re only reaching a very small portion of your members. “Everybody’s in a rush today. It is tough to get chamber members to attend an event after, let’s say, 9 a.m. Once they get entrenched in their business, they try to protect their time.” Enter technology.
TURNOVER AT THE TOP The faces of chambers of commerce, quite literally, are changing. At least four metro-area chambers have had their top official step down so far in 2014. Several other area chambers, including the ones in Arvada, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree and Parker, have seen turnover at the top since the summer of 2013. But the Denver suburbs aren’t alone. “There’s a ton of turnover going on everywhere,” Dave Kilby, president and CEO of the Western Association of Chamber Executives said. “I tell people the chamber industry is an opportunity industry. Half of our CEOs in the West are 55 or over. There are people almost weekly that are leaving because of retirement. There are a lot of CEO searches right now.” Retirement is one reason. But also, chamber leaders commonly leave for a higher-paying post, Kilby said. In other cases, he said, the job just didn’t live up to the hype. In any case, Kilby says, don’t look for a common thread in the Denver-area turnover. “I think in every one of those CEO changes, there’s Most Denver metro-area chambers that responded to a Colorado Community Media survey say they are embracing the Internet’s role in facilitating connections. Andrea LaRew, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Highlands Ranch, said there is no doubt online is changing the game. She sees businesses doing more with less manpower and, like Witucki, acknowledges members’ time constraints. “We recognize that the Internet is often the first place people go for answers,” she said. “Therefore, we have increased our online presence in an effort to meet our members’ needs. “We are implementing new ways to engage our members through online communities, webinars, and new software that allows our members to communicate with each other.” To Shiley Johnson, interim CEO at the Metro North Chamber of Commerce, the Internet is an essential tool if chambers are to remain relevant. “In that regard, we have put technology to good use, creating a website that enhances our sense of community,” he said.
probably a different story,” he said. “There’s nothing in the water; it’s just a coincidence. You could go to a similar geography and find something similar.” Below is a look at some metro-area chambers that have seen their president resign in 2014: Golden Chamber of Commerce Gary Wink (19 years) Resigned January 2014 New president/CEO Dawn Smith Metro North Chamber of Commerce Deborah Obermeyer (15 years) Resigned May 2014 Recruitment process in progress South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce John Brackney (10 years) Resigned March 2014 New president/CEO Robert Golden West Chamber of Commerce Brian Willms (2 years) Resigned May 2014 New president/CEO Dan Rodriguez

In addition to their own websites, chambers can use tools like Facebook and Meetup.com to broaden their reach. At the same time, those and similar online tools can be utilized by businessmen and women in lieu of chamber membership. “The chamber is important, but there are lots of other new groups,” said John Brackney, former longtime president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. “It’s hard to determine whether any of them are valuable or not. It’s easier to get the message out, but there are a lot of them. You get lost in all the messages.”
Keeping it real Denver Botanic Gardens’ CEO Brian Vogt, who preceded Brackney as chief of the South Metro Chamber, can testify to the benefits of technology’s evolution. “First, fax machines were the greatest thing ever, then the Internet. You don’t have to print so many things, like newsletters and bulletins … It’s a huge cost savings, and a huge pain-in-the-neck savings.”
3 OF 3 PART SERIES
Just as it can promote going green, the Internet can be a handy alternative to attending networking events in brick-andmortar buildings. But to many, a primary benefit of joining a chamber of commerce is face time. “While it’s true that many needs can be met on the Internet, I passionately believe that chambers of commerce will remain relevant because they are people-based,” said Donna Russell, a board member for the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce. “People still rely on other people. A business can create exposure for itself through the Internet, but there is only one way to bring a community together, and that’s by bringing them together and putting a face on personality, integrity and, ultimately, a professional.” The same can be said for enticing people and businesses to town, chamber leaders say. “Yes, people can go online and research a community,” said Pam Ridler, president of the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce. “When they get here, though, you have to have that human connection. So we try to provide that kind of thing. How can we introduce people in the community? You can try to do it online, but to me, that isn’t long-lived. “We create relationships.” — Jennifer Smith and Amy Woodward contributed to this report.

Lead developer selected for triangle AURA make choice for Ralston Creek Area By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Buckingham Companies was selected to be the lead developer for the upcoming Ralston Creek development project after a lengthy interview and presentation process. “It was a hard decision for the board as both developers put together terrific proposals,” said Arvada Urban Renewal Authority Executive Director, Maureen Phair. “In the end, the board chose to work with Buckingham Companies because of their business philosophy.” Over the next 26 months, the team made up of three developers — Indianapolis-based Buckingham Companies, Boulder-based Urban Investment Group,

and Denver’s Larimer Associates — will be responsible for the design and implementation of the project, restructuring it to become a vibrant and attractive hub in the city. Buckingham, selected at AURA’s July 23 meeting, is tasked with creating a design concept, developing a master plan, securing funding sources and the approval of land use, coordinating public infrastructure and constructing vertical improvements. Our entire team is thrilled at being selected after what was a thorough and rigorous process by AURA,” said Dan Cohen, the Ralston Creek project executive. “We’re really excited about the potential to build a great place here and we’re confident the property and the community lend itself to that.” The 14-acre site, formerly referred to as the Triangle Area, is located between two stops along the Gold line, the Olde Town and Arvada Ridge, along the north side of Ralston Road between Garrison and Inde-

met with both teams individually to hear their proposals and designs for the site and make a final decision. “They develop, own and manage their projects for the long term. We felt that the long term ownership and management of the project would be in the best interest of the community,” Phair said. The team will utilize a variety of mixed uses, such as retailers, housing and commercial uses in three phases, to create an urban, lasting community. In phase one, the team hopes to secure leases for the former Safeway building, 9517 Ralston Road, and revitalizing it into a 24-hour Fitness center and live-work facilities. Down the road, the team also hopes to bring in 305 apartments and live-work housing units, 21,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, recreational facilities, and a 3,000-square-foot beer garden to the area.

pendence Streets. Once a hub for local retailers and restaurants, the area has slowly declined over the years, the redevelopment of the area will focus on bringing in mixed uses to help modernize the area while enhancing its current features. “I’d like to see a new urban component that continues to revitalize what the park has done,” said T.O. Owens, a resident of the neighborhood and president of the Citizens for a Livable Ralston Community neighborhood association. “I’d like to see it bring new families and more opportunity for local living.” Buckingham Companies was one of six developer groups who submitted a request for qualifications, or RFQ, in May and one of two, with Boulder-based Loftus Development, who were selected to submit a proposal for the development of the site.

As part of the inaugural event, blues musician, historian and teacher, Dan Treanor, jammed with fellow musicians, played tunes with his band and took part in a little conversation. “It’s to show people how cool this little piece of Arvada is,” Norris said. “For me, I want to see this going strong, but it takes people in leadership to make their town thrive.” More than 100 people attended the inaugural event, joining in the music of political conversations and celebrating business. “This is important because it gives people an opportunity to express themselves, gives them an opportunity to use their creativity and an opportunity to socialize and use networks — and it’s fun,” Treanor said. The next Micro’Blues event is Wednesday, Aug. 27, and will feature beer from the Grand Lake Brewing Company.

Fracking supporters salute court ruling Judge said health concern comments insufficient to devalue state’s interest By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A recent court decision on hydraulic fracturing is leaving supporters of the drilling practice hopeful that the momentum of the debate is now in their favor. A Boulder County District Court judge on July 24 struck down Longmont’s ban on fracking, which voters there put in place during the 2012 election. “While the court appreciates the Longmont citizens’ sincerely-held beliefs about risks to their health and safety, the court does not find this is sufficient to completely devalue the state’s interest,” District Judge D.D. Mallard wrote in her ruling. Mallard determined that Longmont’s fracking ban conflicts with state rules and limits Colorado’s interest in developing oil and gas opportunities. The judge stayed her decision, pending appeal. The City of Longmont plans to appeal the ruling on its ban on fracking, a process by which water and chemicals are pumped underground to free up trapped oil and gas. Supporters of the fracking industry point to the ruling — and a recent narrow rejection by Loveland voters to implement a moratorium on fracking — as evidence of momentum. “I think that it’s a good start,” said state Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch. McNulty is behind a ballot initiative that would prohibit communities that ban fracking from receiving revenues that are collected from communities that welcome the practice. “There’s going to be a lot of legal maneuvering ... If they appeal, then we’ll head down that road. If they don’t, we have a very good precedent in place,” McNulty said. Supporters of fracking point to job creation, as well as a state economic impact of billions of dollars annually that is generated by the oil and gas industry. Opponents have concerns that fracking could impact public
health and the environment. Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper recently called off efforts to reach a legislative compromise on fracking. The effort was undertaken in hopes that lawmakers could craft legislation that would prevent fracking ballot initiatives from moving forward. In addition to pro-fracking measures like the one McNulty is supporting, anti-fracking initiatives could end up being on the ballot this November. They include efforts to allow communities greater control over drilling — a measure titled the “Environmental Bill of Rights” — and a measure that would require wells to be placed at least 2,000 feet from occupied dwellings. That effort that would essentially ban fracking in Colorado, oil and gas industry supporters claim. Hickenlooper and the oil and gas industry oppose the ballot initiatives, which are being financially driven by U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, a Boulder Democrat who has support from those who are against fracking. A Polis spokesman declined to comment on the court’s ruling. Bruce Baizel of the Earthworks Energy Program, a group that supported the Longmont ban, expressed optimism, in spite of the court’s ruling. “This decision means two things,” said Baizel. “The judge has invited us to seek the change we need either through the higher courts or the legislature. We fully intend to pursue the former on appeal while the latter underscores the need for the citizens of Colorado to get out and support the Environmental Bill of Rights ballot measure this fall.” But Karen Crummy, a spokeswoman for pro-fracking group Protect Colorado, said the judge’s decision should prove to antifracking advocates like Polis that the fracking facts are not on their side. “Perhaps now Congressman Polis will listen to elected officials in both political parties and the business and community groups who have asked him to withdraw his arbitrary and irresponsible ballot initiatives,” Crummy said. “His efforts to lock inflexible regulations into the state constitution will be a disaster for the economy, private property owners and the local communities who now have the ability to help shape energy regulations to their needs.”

Reforming over refunding
“There are rich teams; there are poor teams; then, there’s 50 feet of (garbage); then there’s us. We have got to think differently!” This line, from the movie “Moneyball,” brings to mind some of the arguments you hear in debates about public education. And while budgets have taken a hit in the last few years, you would think that American public schools were just like the Oakland A’s playing against the 1927 New York Yankees every game. But that is simply not the case. According to a 2013 report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the United States spends more, per pupil, in absolute dollars, than any country on the planet. And in terms of share of overall economy, the U.S. spends significantly more than the average of the countries the OECD surveyed. So, why does the U.S. score so poorly against other countries on international tests? Let me submit a thought: because other countries have already started to think differently, and they’re leaving us behind. That is why I’ve devoted so much ink this summer to education reforms. Can we possibly keep up with the explosion of knowledge and technology? I doubt it. But we can equip students to cope better with change by spending more time and energy
trying to strengthen their brains through prioritizing the study of art and music, strengthening their bodies by giving them more physical education and recess, and introducing them to a globalized world by teaching foreign languages much earlier. Do we make our students better by testing the way we do currently? Hard to imagine we do, when two out of three high school sophomores can’t do the math we ask of them on the test. But since way more than 33 percent of students graduate two years later, perhaps it has something to with the fact that the tests we give don’t matter. Which is why I’ve suggested a more focused and rigorous testing regime that has real consequences — and real rewards. Do I believe every idea I’ve proposed is the absolute right solution? Probably not. And, even if I did, I don’t think I would get all that many people behind me. And even if I could, I have no illusions that the sort
of changes I propose would be anywhere within any budget on this planet. My point in this whole exercise has been to demonstrate one thing: that real education reform looks a lot different than anything we’re talking about. It requires looking at what Elon Musk calls “first principles,” and then doing like Billy Bean and thinking differently. And nothing that is causing all the drama and stress in Jeffco comes even close to that. So I choose not to believe the sky is falling in. This year, whatever the collective bargaining agreement ends up saying, teachers will still work their tails off for your students, and two out of three sophomores will still not pass whatever test they have to take, AP American History students will still not know much about Thomas Jefferson (since the new Common Core-aligned test doesn’t bother to ask about the author of the Declaration), and graduation rates will still inch up by an infinitesimal degree. Nothing much will change. Which, I guess, depending on who you listen to, is also a lot like the sky falling in.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
What is your favorite thing about pickleball? Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in the nation, with courts recently opening in Arvada and Lakewood. We went to the opening of the new outdoor courts at the Green Mountain Recreation Center to talk to supporters about why they love the game.
“It truly is for all ages that everyone can play.” Sara Livingston, Lakewood
“It provides an opportunity for people to be both active and social. You play it once and love it.” Peggy Boccard, Lakewood
“It’s a continuous sport, is easy on people and isn’t quite as strenuous as a lot of others are.” Ken Adducci, Lakewood
“It’s very social – people can talk with each other – and helps with reaction and agility.” Chris Beal, Denver

Diagnosing the state of Alzheimer’s Forms of dementia likely to increase as county ages By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Editors Note: This is part one of a fourpart series, exploring the challenges of Alzheimer’s in the county. George’s name has been changed to protect his privacy. Future installments will be published in consecutive issues. Experts call it the “silver tsunami”— the 850,000 centenarians living in the country by 2050 will represent one the largest pools of people to reach “senior status” in the country’s history. In the nation, Colorado ranks third as the fastest growing senior population, according to the State Demographer’s Office. Jefferson County alone is planning for a 54-percent increase of older adults between the years 2011 and 2021, the Colorado Department of Human Services reported. But as officials prepare for the many impacts of an aging population, mental health is also on the forefront as experts warn of an associated rise in mental illness such as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. In this four-part series which begins with a look at one man living with Alzheimer’s, this series will explore the initiatives of the nation’s leading organization on Alzheimer’s as well as law enforcement agencies who are ramping up services to address the care and needs of individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s. George and Alzheimer’s The sun’s rays begin to break through the overcast haze of an early April morning just as George arrives at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Denver. Stepping off the Access-a-Ride, he hangs his light jacket in one of the church’s community rooms when he is immediately greeted by fellow croquet players who meet weekly for a two hour game, hot coffee and breakfast burritos. George, 75 and retired, diagnosed the mental state of individuals since being drafted into the Vietnam War as an Army psychiatrist. He was a former staff psychiatrist at Fort Logan Mental Health Center and eventually switched to geriatrics psychiatry, performing nursing home visits and treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease. After more than 30 years observing and treating the mind, George finds himself surveying his own mental health after officially being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2002. “It’s part of a grand experiment to see if I can live independently,” said George, who has been living on his own for the past 13 months. He is considered “high functioning” but George knows what lies ahead — he has been diagnosed with a terminally ill progressive neurological degenerative disease. He is one of 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s, the sixth leading cause of death in the country
George spends time writing letters to friends and even writes poetry when he is not participating during weekly activities with the Alzheimer’s Association. He logs his daily activities in a small calendar that he views often which helps him to remember what he did earlier in the week and what he has planned in the days to come. Photo by Amy Woodward
ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia. It affects memory, thinking and behavior with symptoms worsening over time. Abnormal protein buildup in the brain is believed to cause the symptoms. There is no cure. Treatment only slows symptom progression. The disease is most common in those 65-and-over, but “early onset” is occasionally seen in patients in their 40s and 50s. — Source: The Alzheimer’s Association with more than 500,000 senior deaths each year. For now, George is adapting and is working with his primary care physician and researchers at the Mile-High Research Center in Denver, a clinic dedicated to investigative treatments for Alzheimer’s led by Dr. Jack A. Klapper. “I do need people,” George said. “I’m kind of aware of being dependent on friends, groups of people, family.” Since his diagnosis, George has been very active with the Alzheimer’s Association’s Colorado Chapter. Through its numerous group sessions and activities, George has found a network of people with a mutual challenge. The chapter allows for leadership opportunities as well, and George, who used to play guitar, occasionally leads the music therapy group. “They may seem like small things, but boy, I take great pride in preparing for it,” he said. “They let me give back. I don’t like to be in a position where I feel like a mooch.” The Colorado Alzheimer’s Association provides resources for persons living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia including their caregivers. Its presence is

part of the state’s Alzheimer’s Plan that identifies the Colorado chapter as the specialist that partners with state, county, city and community service organizations. The passing of a senate bill authorized the formation of the Colorado Alzheimer’s Coordinating Council which submitted an Alzheimer’s State Plan in 2010 to the governor, General Assembly and state departments. The report presented recommendations relating to the increasing incidence of Alzheimer’s in Colorado and assessed the state’s public and private ability to address the needs and care of an aging population affected by Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimer’s Association expects Colorado to see a 46 percent increase, or 110,000 people living with Alzheimer’s by 2025. Currently, 63,000 people are living with Alzheimer’s statewide. Although many unknowns exist as to what causes Alzheimer’s, doctors agree
the older a person, the more likely he or she is to develop some form of dementia. “By age 80 almost 50 percent of the population has some cognitive impairment,” said Dr. Robert Parker, professor and chief of community geriatrics at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. “We’re an aging population and we’ve got to learn how to deal with it.” Parker has been practicing in geriatric medicine for 40 years. By the end of the year, he will retire from a career that has been emotionally rewarding to him. His expertise has led him to tackle other issues relating to Alzheimer’s including elder abuse. Abuse and the need for care services are some of the most common topics Alzheimer’s continues on Page 13

Community Solar Garden opens in Jeffco Clean Energy Collective partners with Xcel By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Clean Energy Collective (CEC), a growing developer in solar community gardens, opened two new sites in Colorado — this time in Jefferson County, which will make it easier for Xcel Energy customers to go solar.
“It’s based on a model of community use, and we want as many people to take part as possible,” said Todd Davidson, director of marketing at CEC. Two solar arrays were built off Highway 93 on W. 56th Avenue in Golden. The Jeffco Community Solar Arrays are expected to produce about 1,160,000 kilowatt hours of clean energy in its first year, which is enough to power 100 homes annually, the CEC reported. The company predicts carbon dioxide emissions to reduce by over 38
million pounds over the 20 year agreement with Xcel Energy. “This is a great example of what we’re doing in Colorado,” said state Rep. Max Tyler, HD-23 who carried the bill to reduce the state’s energy bill by 50 percent during the 2010 legislative session. He purchased five panels at the solar garden. “This is a great idea and I think Xcel is going to be moving forward and expanding it.” Solar continues on Page 13

Bartender mixes it up with best Sean Kenyon, bartender extraordinaire at Williams & Graham, was named American Bartender of the Year at the Spirited Awards July 19 in the Sheraton Hotel New Orleans. Kenyon was among four finalists along with Jeff Bell (PDT, New York), Marcovaldo Dionysos (Smuggler’s Cove, San Francisco), and Bobby Heugel (Anvil Bar & Refuge, Houston). The Spirited Awards are held each year during Tales of the Cocktail, the world’s premier cocktail festival, bringing together the international spirits community for five days of what’s now, what’s new and what’s next in bartending. “I am still stunned by the whole thing,” Kenyon told Eater Denver. “I didn’t think I was going to win. Someone from a secondary market doesn’t have as much of a chance to win as much as people from the coasts, and with the guys from New York and San Francisco in the running, I just didn’t expect to win.” According to Eater Denver, Robert Simonson, author and journalist for The New York Times, tweeted this after Kenyon’s win: “Jul 19 #spiritedawards win for @ SeanKenyon likely to be biggest thing yet to happen to Denver cocktail scene, attention-wise. #totc” What did Kenyon say in his acceptance speech? “I thanked my wife — I couldn’t do anything I do without her. I thanked my family at Williams & Graham — I love them. I thanked Steve Olson and Andy Seymour, two of my mentors. And I thanked my father; he never sat me down to tell me what to do, but I learned everything I know about bartending and hospitality from him. I prepared nothing for my speech because I am superstitious, but I ended with a call to young bartenders everywhere: Honor yourself, honor your peers, and honor your craft.”
Cities host outdoor films By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Summer is the time to be outdoors, to relax with friends and family and enjoy the best panoramas nature has to offer. With drive-in theaters all but faded into cultural memory, cities have been picking up the torch and offering residents free ways to catch some favorite films while enjoying the summer weather. Arvada, Golden and Westminster all have free outdoor movie events planned for August’s Fridays, offering the perfect way to enjoy the tail end of the season. Arvada’s Flicks in the Square,
located at Olde Town Square, Olde Wadsworth Boulevard and 56th Ave., kicks off on Aug. 1 with The Goonies and runs every Friday through Aug. 29. Golden’s Movies and Music in the Park, located at Parfet Park, 10th St. and Washington Ave., starts with the classic The Wizard of Oz on Aug. 1, and runs through Aug. 22 Wesminster’s Movie in the Park, located at Westminster Center Park, 4801 W. 92nd Ave., will be showing The Lego Movie on Aug. 15. “This is something we’ve been doing for the past several years and our residents love it,” said Karen Miller, president of the Historic Olde Town Arvada organization. “We’ve got a really good series this year.”
Miller said that each movie has a specific business sponsor, who helps make sure things go smoothly during the evening and helps pick activities to do before the film starts, which is at dusk. “Crowds start showing up early so we’ve been working with Healthy Places Arvada to bring some physical activities to the events,” she said. “For Akeelah we’re going to have a kind of informal spelling bee and we’ve got a whole bunch of 60’s style activities during the week of Hairspray.” Golden’s Movies & Music features local bands, from Flock of Beagles and Face to Mass Hipsteria

surrounding not only seniors but also seniors with Alzheimer’s. Diagnosing forms of dementia is challenging, Parker said, with specialist and primary care physicians often missing the signs of the disease in their patients. Statistics shared by Parker through the Alzheimer’s Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that by age 75, about 20 to 25 percent of adults have some kind of cognitive impairment undetected by physicians. “The reason for that is the social skills are so well preserved that these people appear to be perfectly normal, they might even think that they’re normal,” Parker said. “It’s estimated that somewhere around 60 to 70 percent of the specialists miss mild to moderate dementia in their patients because they don’t spend enough time talking to them and they don’t listen. Primary care physicians are a little better they only miss 40 to 50 percent.” George found it difficult to find a definitive diagnosis for his condition with researchers in Denver often clashing with his primary care physician who took him off Aricept, a potent and critical drug treatment for persons with dementia and Alzheimer’s. At one point George said he was diag-

The City of Lakewood has also reserved half of one solar array. Out of the 12 operating sites built by the CEC, roughly six or seven of those sites mark Xcel as the utility provider. An additional four sites by the CEC are under construction, with two located in Denver opening Aug. 21. “These projects provide a great opportunity for members of the community to participate in renewable energy who may not otherwise have the chance,” said Kevin Cray, marketing assistant at Xcel for the solar rewards and solar rewards community
nosed with depressive pseudo-dementia, depression that looks like dementia, after he reported having memory problems as early as the 1980s when he was in his late 40s. Between 2002 and 2006, he was receiving two different opinions about whether or not he had Alzheimer’s although he was experiencing “fluctuating memory loss.” The prescription drug Aricept coupled with anti-depressants seemed to relieve symptoms, but it took researchers in Denver to convince his primary doctor to restart the medication, George said. “If you think of the brain from front to back the prefrontal cortex is where executive function is, where the complex decisions are made,” Parker said. “The Alzheimer’s disease usually affects the front part of the brain and tends to go backwards. So as we lose our cognitive abilities, we kind of lose them in the reverse order that we gained them as a child.” George retired as a psychiatrist in his mid-50s when he found his memory was becoming flaky. When driving, he often missed his exits on the highway. It is possible that George developed younger onset of Alzheimer’s. But again, medical professionals were unsure what was causing his early symptoms. George accepted the diagnosis by the Mile-High Research Center but differing medical opinions earlyon left him confused and unsure of his mental state for years. He now maintains an awareness of his disease that offers no cure — only preparedness against a fading memory and the dangers it can pose.

and Dr. Harlan’s Amazing Bluegrass Tonic. “We started with just movies in 2002 and expanded to include music in 2005,” said Karlyn Tilley, communications manager with the city. “We make sure everything is family friendly, from the bands to the films we’re showing.” One of the things Golden has really expanded in recent years is bringing food trucks to the events. This year the events will feature the Cilantro Truck, Quiero Arepas, South Philly Cheese Steaks and Sweetwater Farms Ice Cream. “We look for different kinds of food for people and we have popcorn, of course,” Tilley said. “If visitors want to bring their own food, they are more than welcome.” Attendees at all three events are invited to bring their own chairs, blanks and pillows to make themselves comfortable, but these events are wildly popular so be sure to get there early. “We get people in the spring asking about what movies we’re going to be showing,” said Miller. For Tilley, and all involved, these events are a chance to celebrate with the community. “It’s something more we can do for our community,” she said. “We’re really excited for this season — we’ve got some great bands and movies.” And for even more outdoors movie fun, with a side of music, there’s always Red Rock’s popular Film on the Rocks series.

hile running in the same social circles, Chris Hill and Josh Van Riper found they had one thing in common — beer. Both Hill and Van Riper enjoyed craft beer and home brewing enough to begin working on their shared hobby together, not knowing they would become business partners later in life. “My social circles meshed with Josh, who was already home brewing,” Hill said. “We started to brew together every Wednesday, and we just got into it.” Formerly in the marketing and manufacturing industries, the pair understood the business practices to owning and running a businesses, but lacked passion for their respective careers. They instead found passion in hobbies, including traveling, outdoor recreation and beer. “I’d been in manufacturing for a long time, and at different times run other companies or had my own companies,” Van Riper said. “When I was looking for a new course correction in my career, I thought, `What could I do with my interests and my background that isn’t too scary?’ — I’ve been brewing for around 20 years now, and I thought, I could do that.” The two have been friends for more than 20 years. Hill worked in several bars up in Fort Collins, and often talked of opening a brewery with Van Riper. However Van Riper had already tried a career change, and attempted to launch a brewery with a different friend in a deal that would eventually fall through. Later, over a dinner with their wives, the pair discussed the idea again, and decided to open a brewery – finding the time was right. “It was on and off and on again, and now we’ve never left the on again stage,” Van Riper said. “It was an easy sale for me. Let’s brew beer, it’s fun! Who doesn’t like that?” The pair are now the co-owners and brewers of Odyssey Beerwerks, a microbrewery in Arvada. Opened in May 2013, the microbrewery, 5535 W. 56th Ave. No. 107, has swiftly grown in both in popularity and size. Recently doubling capacity, the brewery regularly produces 120 barrels, or 3,720 gallons of beer in six fermenters. Located next to the brewery is a large taproom, giving the duo the opportunity to mix what they enjoy best: people and beer. “We love the taproom side,” Hill said. “From the area, Yak and Yeti is a brewpub, they focus on food as Brews continues on Page 23

ruits and vegetables are the building blocks of a healthy diet. But many people do not eat the recommended number of servings of produce.That’s especially true among growing children, who can benefit greatly from the vitamins and nutrients fruits and vegetables provide. According to the latest data from the NPD Group, a market research firm, Americans eat a little more than half a cup of fruit and a cup of vegetables per day. This is less than half of what the government recommends. The data is similar in Canada, where researchers at Concordia University found that Canadian adults ages 30 to 60, especially those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, aren’t consuming the daily recommended levels of fruits and vegetables. Anyone who eats roughly 2,000 calories per day should strive to consume between two to three cups of vegetables and two cups of fruit per day. Produce helps to fight disease because it contains healthy antioxidants, fiber, minerals and vitamins. Eating four cups per day may seem difficult, but there are many ways to incorporate fruits and vegetables into everyday recipes. • Substitute pureed fruit, like figs, pears and
apples, for oil in recipes for cakes and cookies. This will ensure the baked goods are moist but with a lot less fat. • Add fresh berries or raisins to breakfast cereals and oatmeal. • Add cauliflower or squash to boiled potatoes before mashing them to increase the nutritional punch and flavor of mashed potatoes. • Blend fruits and vegetables to create smoothies for breakfast or lunch on the go. • Bake hearty muffins or breads with sweet potato or carrots in the batter. • Mix stewed tomatoes in with your broth soup base to make a vegetable or chicken soup even more nutritious. • Opt for vegetables piled high atop a slice of pizza in lieu of meats or extra cheese. • Divide your dinner plate into quadrants, filling half of the plate with vegetables, one quarter with meat and the remainder with a whole grain. • Replace lettuce on a sandwich or burger with a fresh leaf of spinach. While you’re dressing your sandwich, add a slice of tomato, too. • Substitute fresh vegetables and fruit slices for chips when serving dips and salsas. Kale chips are growing in popularity.
• Give children a cup of sliced grapes with their lunches as a refreshing and healthy snack. • Shred vegetables into a hearty “slaw” and top it with a vinaigrette or a typical mayonnaisebased dressing. • Blend other vegetables into your pasta sauce. • Use vegetables instead of pasta in traditional dishes. Layer eggplant slices to make a lasagna. Or use a spiral slicer to slice zucchini or carrots when making homemade noodles. • Fruit salad is often a refreshing snack or dessert. Having fruit already diced in a large bowl makes it more convenient to eat and possibly more enticing to children. • Make a vegetable roll-up, filling pizza dough with broccoli or spinach and shredded cheese. • Mix together an avocado, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 1/4 cup honey to create a healthy alternative to chocolate pudding. • Use pureed vegetables to thicken cheese sauce for macaroni and cheese recipes. • Shred vegetables and add them to beaten eggs for omelets or scrambles.

SPORTS Broncos no longer Super Bowl favorites
Arvada Press 19
July 31, 2014
Most everyone in Colorado and many in the Rocky Mountain region believe the Denver Broncos are on the cusp of winning a Super Bowl. But as the 2014 NFL season approaches it is interesting to hear what others around the country think about Denver’s Super Bowl chances this season. While the Broncos were the majority pick to win a world championship of analysts and experts going into last season, this season is different. Despite the Broncos spending $120 million in free agency during the offseason to upgrade their defense, nationally they are not getting the same kind of love that they did last season. Perhaps the fact that no team in NFL history has ever lost a Super Bowl and then went on to go back and win it the next year is in play. Or perhaps the very ugly way that 43-8 game played out has scared folks away from picking the Broncos again.
Example: “Sports Illustrated’s” Peter King has Denver as the No. 6 ranked team going into this season. His reason: “Having a hard time getting That Game out of my head.” King is right, the Super Bowl was an absolute disaster of epic proportions. But the Broncos also beat themselves in that game. It will be interesting to see what plays out when the two teams meet again early in the regular season. ProFootballTalk.com has the Broncos ranked No. 3 going into the season,
but they don’t necessarily love Denver’s chances either saying: “Last year the Broncos’ most significant weakness was their pass defense, which is why the pass defense was the top priority in free agency. Can DeMarcus Ware, Aqib Talib and T.J. Ward turn that pass defense into a strength?” That is a good question. But you have to give credit for the team addressing its defensive issues and besides adding several new starts through free agency, they also added cornerback Bradley Roby with its first round draft pick. Moreover, when it is all said and done the Broncos could have five new starters on their defense. However, others still like Denver’s chances this season, such as CBSSports. com senior writer Pete Prisco. Prisco picked the Broncos as his No. 2 team going into 2014 saying: “They have added a lot of good players, but are also getting back some of the injured ones from last
season — Ryan Clady, Von Miller and Chris Harris among them.” And Prisco has a good point. Peyton Manning was so good last season that he covered up a lot of holes that were made from a lot of missing injured players. And while the Broncos were still good enough to make a run to the Super Bowl all of those missing players caught up with Denver. In addition, Las Vegas still loves the Broncos, who along with the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks remain a 5-1 favorite to win it all in 2014. While the Broncos window to win it all may be closing, John Elway still has it propped open and whether they get it done in 2014 or not, the team did a ton this offseason to try and close the gap that was 43-8. Perhaps the experts not picking the Broncos in 2014 is exactly what this team needs.
IKEA-Mile High Sports hold back-to-school Olympiad 10 boys and girls teams compete By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia. com CENTENNIAL – IKEA is commonly known for a few different things. It is known for its huge selection of affordable put-it-together-yourself household items like shelves, desks and storage units. It is also known for the massive sign off Interstate 25 and County Line Road. And lastly, it has spectacular Swedish meatballs. Well now IKEA is earning a new reputation as a brand who gives back to the community. IKEA paired up with Mile High Sports to produce the inaugural Back-toSchool Olympiad Wednesday outside of IKEA’s massive facility. The event pitted 10 different high schools teams together to compete against each other in eight skill based events. Five boys teams — Dakota Ridge Football, Smoky Hill Boys Soccer, Kent Denver Boys Basketball, Holy Family Football and Cherry Creek Boys Soccer — competed against each other and against five girls teams: KIPP Denver Collegiate Dance, D’Evelyn Volleyball, Rock Canyon Softball, Rampart Volleyball and Dakota Ridge Volleyball. Smoky Hill boys’ soccer and D’Evelyn volleyball were the winners and each team was awarded $500 that will go to their schools, courtesy of IKEA. “The event was a giant success but only because all of the teams came out and competed for their schools,” said Doug Ottewill of Mile High Sports. The 10 teams competed in eight different events including basketball, a foot-
Members from Team D’Evelyn, the winning girl’s team from the inaugural IKEA-Mile High Sports Back-to-School Olympiad, line up and take their turns competing in the soccer events Wednesday at IKEA. Photo by Dan Williams ball toss into buggies, a volleyball serving event, a hit targets with a soccer ball event, a chipping and putting golf challenge, an egg toss, a scavenger hunt and finally a bookshelf building event where the teams had to properly assemble a bookshelf. “Every team who showed up today was awesome and we hope we can make this
a huge annual event,” said Megan Thompson, IKEA marketing specialist who helped put on the event. But if you didn’t have a chance to compete there is still a way you can help your school. Stop by the IKEA store in Centennial any time between now and Sept. 15, and fill out a ballot for your school. The
ballot boxes will be located in the “back to school” area by the checkout lines. The school with the most ballot entries will be given $1,500 for their school’s athletic and activities programs. Every school in the state is eligible to win the $1,500, not just the schools who participated in the Olympiad.
Johnson darts to Pro Stock victory Teammate Coughlin red-lighted in title race By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Images of the King of the Mountain litter the Internet but none features Allen Johnson. Johnson is the King of the Mountain, at least Thunder Mountain, the name attached to Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. On July 20, Johnson drove his MagnetiMarelli Mopar Dodge Dart to his third consecutive Pro Stock championship at the
Mopar Mile High Nationals and his fifth title in the past six years. He now ranks second in wins at Bandimere with six, and trails Bob Glidden, who captured seven Pro Stock championships at Thunder Mountain. “This was the first race I every qualified at in 1996, and that was the only race out of 21 I qualified for that year,” recalled Johnson, who now has 24 career wins and four this season. “I have qualified for every single race (here) since then. It’s very important to us. It’s almost like a championship to us to excite all the Mopar executives and everyone that comes out to support us, but it get tougher every year.” Johnson, making his eighth consecutive appearance in the Mile High Nationals
finals, beat Mopar teammate Jeg Coughlin Jr., who red-lighted in the title race. Johnson had a run of 6.930 at 198.61 miles per hour. “This team continues to find a way to do it,” said Johnson. ”We want to win here for Mopar.” Mopar announced a three-year extension of its sponsorship of the Mile High Nationals earlier in the day. The current 26-year Mopar sponsorship with Bandimere is the longest running sponsorship in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series. “Mopar and the mountain and me, we’re married,” said Johnson. “We’re going to take that deal and run with it the next three years and break Bob Glidden’s record and be the king of the mountain for a long
time.” Johnson’s car might not have been as dominant as it was in past seasons but it was good enough for him to win again. “We struggled a little bit, Saturday (July 19) especially,” said Johnson. “Friday (July 18) we were decent but we didn’t build on it. We had to start over. First round (of eliminations) we were solid, and then something else start going wrong second and third round. In the final, Jeg, if he hadn’t red-lighted, he probably had us beat because he had the speed. He was on a really good run.” Pro stock points leader Erica EndersStock continues on Page 22

Howes is a young star in the world of professional cycling
— more cyclists in the world who can ride like Howes, but only because he is one of the elite cyclists in the world. The Golden native and 2006 Golden High School native just wrapped up participating in his first Tour de France, one of the world’s biggest sporting events. Howes was one of just nine American cyclists in the race and was selected from his Garmin-Sharp team who earned the right to participate “The Tour.” To be selected is one thing to actually finish the grueling and even dangerous race is another. The Tour de France consist of 21 day-long segments (stages) over a 23-day period and cover around 2,200 miles of mountain. Dozens of top riders fail to finish the race each year, succumbing to crashes, illness and fatigue. “It is something that Alex has worked very hard for,” said Alex’s mother Star Howes. “It has taken him a lot of dedication and discipline to get to this point.” The 26-year-old University of Colorado graduate found out just one week before the start of the 101st Tour de France that he was selected as one of 26 world class riders from his Garmin-Sharp team. Howes said in a pre-race interview that he was nervous and excited as he braced himself for his first Tour de France experience. “It’s nerve-wracking and it’s exciting. It’s one of those things where, in a way, it’s just like any other bike race but the difference is all your buddies back home, your parents and your family and your grandma and whoever else, they’re actually going to read about you racing a bike for the first time,” Howes said in an interview with Velo News. Howes successfully completed his first Tour de France, and he hopes that his Tour experience will be the first of many but in a super-competitive global sport like cycling opportunities like he had are rare. And the humble Howes expressed that in several prerace interviews, saying that he was going to soak up the once in a lifetime experience. And it is fitting that Howes mentioned his family in those interviews because he may owe some of his success to his other team back in Colorado. Howes mother said that he came from a family that made cycling a “lifestyle,” and his father is a very solid amateur rider. However, Howes is already also a global star, having super-fans all over the world including France and Japan.
WANTED: 5 HOMES
Golden native and 2006 Golden High School graduate Alex Howes just wrapped up competing in his first Tour de France for his Garmin team Sunday in France. Howes has turned into one of the elite cyclists in the world. Photo courtesy of Star Howes Howes resides in Boulder half the time and he lives in Girona, Spain, the other half, as he trains year around. Besides being selected to participate in his first Tour de France, Howes has already accomplished a lot in the professional cycling world. Howes riding resumé includes a first place finish (stage 2) at the 2012 Tour of Utah, a sixth place finish at the 2012 De Brabantse Pijl, a fourth place finish at the 2011 Tour de Beauce, a first place finish at the 2009 U23 Nationals Road Race and a first place finish at the 2009 U23 Nationals Criterium. Vincenzo Nibali was the winner of the 101st Tour de France, as he led for 18 days out of the 21 days.

much beer; Arvada Beer Company is in Olde Town and that appeals to people there and they have the taproom; ours is production — we focus on canning and the taproom because we love people.” With a focus on beers from around the world, the pair seeks to brew beers customers can’t find anywhere else. “We’re always trying new things, and we like to showcase new styles,” Van Riper said. “We’re big on quality and like to have fun.”
Currently, the brewery has 10 beers on tap, including five flagship beers, two rotating taps for stouts and India Pale Ales (IPAs), and three to four taps for whatever style the pair feels like creating. “We like doing beers from different regions and putting our own spin on it,” Hill said. Wanting to expand their market reach early on in the business, the pair decided to can and sell beer in local liquor stores — a route less traveled in the craft brewing world. “We knew what we wanted to do. Yes we wanted to brew beer, but we put together a strong business plan so we can expand and can our beer so we can take it
on our adventures,” Hill said. With more than 230 microbreweries and brewpubs in the state, shelf space is limited and only a handful of brewers decide to tackle the production side of the booming industry. “We estimate that 50 or so package their beer for sale at a Liquor Store,” said Steve Kurowski, a media representative with the Colorado Brewers Guild. “Packaging and distribution is not something to take lightly; it’s a very competitive market and a brewery has to work hard to compete with the many other in-state and out of state craft and import brands on the shelf.” With three of their most popular beers,
the Heliocentric Hefeweizen, the Ghost Drifter Pale Ale and the Psycho Penguin Vanilla Porter already on the shelf, the duo said they are looking to add two more beers, the Belgian Black and Scotch Ale, to their canning line-up later this year. Aside from beer, the brewery offers a variety of aspects and hobbies to engage the community including food from area food trucks, trivia and game nights, live music, beer and food pairings throughout the week. But for Hill and Van Riper, brewing is no longer a hobby, it’s a way of life. “We do it because we love it,” Hill said. “It’s nice to think I could end up doing this for the rest of my life.”

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Your honesty is, as always, admirable. But you might want to be more tactful in discussing a sensitive issue with a family member. Remember: You can give advice without giving offense. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) An unexpected workplace snag should be handled quickly and efficiently so that it leaves you time for family get-togethers. Also, you might soon get that long-sought apology.

Spending time with loved ones helps restore some much-needed balance to your typically busy schedule. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) That seemingly clear-cut agreement might not be quite so straightforward after all.
