Public pot smoking prohibited Castle Rock will handle violations like alcohol By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com

Kids always seem to be on the cutting edge of technology. The Douglas County School District is making sure its teachers aren’t left behind. The number of technological advancements in the classroom over the last decade is astounding. The advent of interactive class lessons and online homework assignments has teachers receiving continuing education on the latest gadgets and apps being incorporated into the classroom. An annual “Geek Camp” run by the Douglas County School District equips teachers with the tools and know-how needed to guide the next generation into

Smoking marijuana in public in Castle Rock will be dealt with similarly to how police deal with open consumption of alcohol. Castle Rock Town Clerk Sally Misare informed the Castle Rock City Council July 2 that one of the major issues the Colorado Legislature recently failed to address, regarding the state’s new law legalizing marijuana, was open and public consumption of pot — and so the town police’s department has decided to deal with such violations using standards similar to what’s in the town’s liquor code. Any incidents of possible public consumption will be handled on a case-by-case basis by police officers, using “case-specific facts,” Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley said in a recent interview. But, “you couldn’t smoke a marijuana cigarette in public. That would be prohibited,” Cauley said. Any person who violates that prohibition, which is considered a Class 2 petty offense, would upon conviction receive up to a $100 fine and/or 15 days in jail, according to the town’s municipal code. The town is also heading the way of some others in not allowing the licensing of marijuana clubs where people would be allowed to congregate to smoke pot. Misare told the council the town hasn’t had any applications for such a club. But when she asked if the town council wanted staff to draft a proposed ordinance prohibiting those, councilmembers indicated they wanted that done. “That’s absolutely something I would like us to take action on …,” said Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue. “We do not want these clubs in Castle Rock.” That action would be the latest in the town’s effort to shield itself from the effects

‘Spa for a Cause’ to aid Castle Rock girl Event will help medical fund for child with Marfan syndrome By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews. com She’s only 10, but looks like she has soldiered through some war. She’s long-limbed and bony, and her eyes are red and tired after multiple surgeries for detached retinas. “I play by myself at recess all the time,” said Maddy Collins about experiences at South Ridge Elementary School in Castle Rock.

That’s what Maddy, who was born with Marfan syndrome, faces from many classmates. And then there’s what she and her family face every day. There is a long list of things she can’t do. So that she can live.

“If she takes a sharp blow to the chest, that could be the end to Maddy,” said Maddy Collins’ mother, Tara McGuire, 30, of Castle Rock. Maddy has an enlarged aorta that can tear easily because of the fragile way it’s constructed. And that’s only one of many physical issues. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder in which the “glue” that hold the body’s connective tissue together is defective and so causes a myriad of problems — everything from heart problems to skeletal and visions issues. Maddy has had surgeries for all of that. Spa continues on Page 15

Sips on agenda at Meadows Grange 10th Annual Castle Rock WineFest set for July 20 By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com The first year the Castle Rock WineFest was held, it was the coldest July day on record, mid-50s and raining. The second year, it was 100 degrees hot. This year’s notable measurement: probably people. Each year, the event, which Castle Rock Chamber President Pam Ridler and two board members thought up one evening over — sip — a glass of wine, has had its memorable memories. This year’s, the 10th annual, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. July 20, will probably have one highlight, in particular. For organizers, anyway.

It’ll be even bigger. The thing keeps growing. The first year had 600 people and 18 wineries. Last year, 3,000 people and 30 wineries, Ridler said. This year, they’re expecting even more people, but the winery number will be the same, 30, because there’s no more room where the event is currently held, at The Grange, 3692 Meadows Blvd. in The Meadows subdivision. Ridler said last year’s event stretched from The Grange to Paintbrush Park. And that’s about the length of three football fields. The other thing that’s growing is its reputation — with the wineries. Ridler said one winery owner told her the event has become the most popular event on Colorado’s “eastern slope.” Wineries every year increase the amount of wine they bring, because they keep sell-

police briefS Tent stolen from homeless man

A 22-year-old male reported June 28 the theft of a tent he had been living in while he saved enough money for an apartment, according to a Castle Rock police report. The man said also taken from his tent — which had been located on the East Plum Creek Trail — was his sleeping bag, backpack, a cell phone, his Social Security card, his U.S. passport and miscellaneous clothing and toiletry items. The man said the theft occurred sometime between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. June 27, and the dollar loss was about $180.

Thief strikes unlocked garage

About $425 worth of items were taken from an unlocked car in a garage in the 2700 block of Red Hawk Ridge Drive in Castle Rock, sometime between 6:30

10th annual caStle rock winefeSt When: 2-8 p.m. July 20 Where: The Grange at The Meadows, 3692 Meadows Blvd. Parking: Catch shuttle at The Outlets at Castle Rock Tickets: www.castlerockculture.com/castle-rockwinefest. Call: 303-688-4597 ing out. Parking isn’t an issue at The Grange because the WineFest shuttles attendees from their parking spots at The Outlets at Castle Rock. Wineries come from around Colorado and so do attendees, Ridler said. Castle Rock hotels are offering special deals. In addition to wine, there’s song. A Den-

ver band, Waitin’ on Ray, will plays “everything from Journey and Zeppelin, to INXS and the Black-Eyed Peas.” Also planned are free demonstrations from Colorado chefs, bakers and a chocolatier. Restaurants will offer food for sale and several dozen artists and specialty shops will offer their creations. For those who don’t think one day is enough, leading up to the July 20 WineFest will be two “winemaker dinners” at which select wines from a particular winery are paired with the restaurants’ finest foods. That happens July 16 at Gabriel’s Restaurant, 5450 Manhart Ave., Sedalia, and at Augustine Grill, 519 Wilcox St., Castle Rock.

Castle Pines narrows town manager list Three finalists set to interview for post By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com Three finalists have been picked to interview for Castle Pines’ city manager position. One applicant is a Colorado resident, Monte Vista City Manager Don Van Wormer. The other two are on opposite sides of the country: Carl Cahill, city manager of Los Altos Hills, Calif., and Brant Kucera, borough manager of Kennett Square in the Philadelphia area.

Councilmember Tera Radloff, a selection-committee member, told the city council July 9 that all three will be interviewed Aug. 1. Ron Miller, president of Miller Municipal Consultants Inc., who was retained for $12,500 to assist with the hiring process, said in a recent interview that a total of 24 people from around the country applied for the spot. “I’m proud of the caliber of the candidates,” he said. The last city manager, Ted Soltis, resigned Feb. 26, shortly after his six-month anniversary with the city, at which time he was to have undergone a performance review, according to his contract.

Soltis was the second full-time city manager to leave the City of Castle Pines since 2010, said Mayor Jeffrey Huff in a past interview. The previous manager, James McGrady, served from 2010 to 2012 as an interim city manager in a role the city knew would be temporary, Huff said. Cahill said he has been Los Altos Hills’ city manager for eight years. Prior to that he was its planning director for six years, and before that was a planner for Pittsburgh and South San Francisco, Calif. Cahill said that at Los Altos Hills, which has a population of about 8,000, he “helped to contribute to a very stable organization and efficient deliverer of city services.” Van Wormer has been Monte Vista’s

Plan for appointees gets second try Castle Pines council puts question about two jobs on ballot By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com Castle Pines voters in a past election voted against changing the elected positions of treasurer and city clerk to appointed spots, but the matter is returning to the ballot in November. Castle Pines City Council at its July 9 meeting voted to approve November ballot questions asking voters to consider those changes again. The vote was 4-1, with Councilmember James Einolf voting no. Councilmember Marc Towne was absent. “Don’t be fooled by the argument that these positions require special knowledge or experience,” Einolf, the lone dissenter, stated in an email after the meeting. “We employ a deputy city clerk and a deputy city treasurer who have the necessary training. Quite frankly, if someone who was elected

to either one of these positions never even bothered to show up for meetings, it would have no effect on the running of the city.” Council Member Kim Maxwell, who supports the change, said in an interview that if voters approve the creation of appointed positions there wouldn’t be a deputy city clerk or treasurer any longer. She said instead of an unpaid elected treasurer and city clerk, and two paid deputies, a total of four people, there would be just two appointees who would do the deputies’ jobs. And Mayor Jeff Huff said in a recent interview there would be “robust” oversight for those two positions by the council, town manager and auditors, and it’s an attempt to “streamline” city operations. The council’s reasons for the asked-for changes include the fact that a majority of Denver metropolitan municipalities are structured that way, with appointed, not elected, city clerks and treasurers, according to the explanation in Castle Pines Council’s Resolution No. 13019. Other reasons in the resolution: There is concern about adequate qualifications of elected officials and about vacancies. The

city clerk position has had three vacancies because of resignations. For the treasurer’s position, the council’s reasons include a claim that “the complexity of municipal finance issues” should be managed by someone with “the requisite experience and education.” The current interim city clerk, Jaime Edwards, who has served since former city clerk Dan Schatz resigned in November, has indicated she would like to fill the council seat recently left by John Ewing — who resigned because he was moving out of Castle Pines. The current treasurer, Mark Shively — a former president and treasurer of the Castle Pines North Metropolitan District — is up for re-election, but hasn’t decided whether to run again. However, he said in a July 10 interview that based on the last election’s results, with about three-quarters voting for these positions to remain elected positions, “I think the citizens want to have an elected treasurer … question asked, question answered.” Shively said it’s “the citizens’ city,” not the council’s city and not the treasurer’s, so “You better listen to them.”

city manager for nine years, was educated at University of Colorado-Denver, and is a past town manager for Kremmling, Colo. Van Wormer said he thinks the Castle Pines position would be a wonderful opportunity to help a new city — whether it be creating a downtown or building recreation centers, among other things. “I’d like to help make the vision come true,” he said recently. Kucera couldn’t be reached by deadline. He is the current borough manager of Kennett Square, which has a population of about 6,100. He is also a past city manager and treasurer, and his background includes degrees from Northern Michigan University and the University of Idaho, according to information on his LinkedIn account.

t Commissioners OK Sterling Ranch again

cated d is aPlans call for breaking ground Colo. Pineson development later this year unity atingBy Ryan Boldrey nters,rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com make The Sterling Ranch planned developead-ment has been unanimously approved for er ofthe second time in three years by the Dougon oflas County commissioners. nager With the July 10 approval, the project — udeswhich calls for a 12,000-home community versi-located on 3,400 acres northeast of Roxborng toough State Park and south of the Chatfield Community Association — hopes to break ground by the end of 2013. “After six-plus years of hearings, I’m thrilled,” said Harold Smethills, Sterling Ranch managing director. “Everybody’s been heard and the commissioners made their decision. So now it’s onward to building homes, and we’re ready to go.” The development, which will remain 37 percent open space, has plans for 30 miles of trails, multiple parks and wildlife corridors, a multi-field athletic complex, a hospital, fire services, schools, and a town center patterned after Littleton’s historic downtown. “This development sets an example for future developments to come down the road,” said Sterling Ranch attorney Gil McNeish, citing mitigation plans, open space preservation and water conservation techniques, such as rainwater harvesting, that are all part of the development’s master plan. About a dozen opponents, who were either Chatfield or Roxborough residents, spoke out against the project at the 4½hour hearing. Most spoke against the detriment the project would have on their rural way of life, and expressed concerns over the development having enough water secured to move forward. “I think that the Board of County Commissioners has a fiduciary duty to the citi-

The proposed development at Sterling Ranch was approved unanimously by Douglas County commissioners July 10 after a hearing that lasted four and a half hours. Developers hope to start moving dirt on the 12,050-home project north of Roxborough later this year. File photo zens of Douglas County and not the developers,” said Dennis Larratt, speaking on behalf of the Chatfield Community Association. “Yet in this case it looks like the board is considering the requests of developers over the vocal concerns of many concerned and existing citizens.” Attorney David Foster, who was also representing Sterling Ranch, said it was important to remember that a number of people had come before the board previously to voice their support of the project. Those people were asked not to testify on July 10, he said, as this hearing dealt with specific legal issues, primarily in terms of the development’s appeal on whether water supply standards were being met. The county initially approved the project in 2011, but in 2012, 18th Judicial Dis-

trict Judge Paul King overturned that ruling, stating that in accordance with state law the project did not have sufficient water secured to move forward. The county then appealed the district court ruling, stating that King had misinterpreted the law and that all that was necessary was that the development proves it has enough water to go ahead with the initial phase of the project. With the appeal still pending, the passage of Colorado Senate Bill 258 this May gave clarification to that law, agreeing with Sterling Ranch’s interpretation. Because of that, the developers requested a hearing with the commissioners, asking them to take a second look at their application. Due to the passage of SB-258, Sterling Ranch did not even bring into play

on July 10 the fact that its water provider, Dominion Water and Sanitation District, had since King’s ruling secured enough water to satisfy the entire project, as part of the WISE (Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency) Partnership’s agreement with Denver and Aurora Water. Still, the opposition was left upset, and Larratt pointed out that their battle may not be over and that the Chatfield group may contest other issues in addition to water in court. “There are more reasons not to approve this project,” he said. “In the … appeal put forth before, there were many different elements of arguments. The district court chose to determine on only one item. All of those other elements are still live and can be brought back. Be prepared that those are still valid.” Smethills said he fully expects another challenge from the Chatfield group, but that is up to his attorneys to handle. In the meantime, he said, they are ready to finally move forward and he feels that day has arrived. “Today was all about new information,” said Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella. “The board of county commissioners heard the application and made a ruling in May 2011. ... The only new information I heard today is the new (regulation) and the clarification on the statute, which is consistent with the interpretation the Board of County Commissioners made on the original approval.” “A lot of information was brought back that we actually heard at the previous hearing,” said Commissioner Jack Hilbert. “Rehashing that information that we had already made a decision on isn’t going to garner us any new information because that already has been vetted. I was looking for that new information but it wasn’t there.” The development expects, once it reaches build-out, to have an annual economic windfall of $400 million.

County gets WISE on water Officials aim to secure leftover renewable acre-feet By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Douglas County is diving into the water game. With an eye on the leftover water made available to the 10 members of the Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency Partnership, the county commissioners signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Denver Water, Aurora Water and the WISE Partnership to negotiate for the rights to 2,725 acre-feet of renewable water per year. Through the initial agreement, Aurora Water and Denver Water will provide 7,275 acre-feet of fully treated water annually to the 10 WISE participants and deliver it in phases, starting in 2016. The 10 entities — who are all part of the larger South Metro Water Supply Authority — have agreed to fund new infrastructure that will move the water from Aurora’s Binney Water Purification Facility to its end locations. The caveat was that Aurora and Denver made 10,000 acre-feet per year available, leaving 2,725 acre-feet available. “If we don’t put a placeholder on

‘I think this is a wonderful role for the county to play.’ Eric Hecox, of South Metro Water Supply Authority this water, it will be lost,” said Tim Murrell, the county’s water resource planner. “Both Denver and Aurora were pretty clear that this is a one-time deal, that they are not going to come back and offer more water again.” The county has until Dec. 31 to iron out an option agreement with Aurora, Denver and WISE that Murrell says will involve negotiating a reservation fee, a time frame, a method of delivery for the water, and who the recipients of the water will be. Once that agreement is in place, it will come back in front of the county commissioners for final approval. “We wanted to make sure that the difference between the amount of water that the water providers have subscribed to and the amount available through the WISE project does not go away,” said Commissioner Jill Repella. While the county itself is not a water provider, it appears to be making a concerted effort to help regional users

transition from nonrenewable to renewable water. “I think this is a wonderful role for the county to play,” said Eric Hecox, executive director of SMWSA. “The option really helps the region in two ways. “One, it helps potentially secure renewable water for providers and individual well-users that aren’t part of the WISE project. Two, it potentially helps secure needed water for those that are part of the WISE project that those providers just can’t finance at the current time.” The 10 WISE participants include Centennial Water and Sanitation District, Cottonwood Water and Sanitation District, Dominion Water and Sanitation District, Inverness Water and Sanitation District, Meridian Metro District, Parker Water and Sanitation District, Pinery Water and Wastewater District, Rangeview Metropolitan District, Stonegate Village Metro District, and the Town of Castle Rock.

Governor gets behind tax-hike proposal Ballot question would fund school finance overhaul By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Gov. John Hickenlooper acknowledged on July 10 that the tax hike being proposed to fund a new school finance formula is not his “exact preference,” but it is one that he thinks is “winnable” and will support. The governor’s comments, which followed an unrelated Capitol press conference, mark the first time Hickenlooper has told reporters he supports the specific tax initiative tied to a school funding overhaul that advocates have recently decided to pursue. The two-tiered tax hike — which will have a greater impact on higher wage earners — would fund Senate Bill 213, the “Future School Finance Act,” so long as voters approve a ballot initiative that will create about $950 million in new taxes. “I’m not sure it was my exact pref-

erence,” said Hickenlooper, referring to the tax proposal that was chosen by education groups last month. “But the bottom line is, you gotta have something on (the ballot) that’s winnable.” The Democratic governor added that “it’s just not worth all the trouble and work if you’re going to go to the ballot and lose.” “So, within … that array of ballot language that conceivably can win, I think this is the best.” Hickenlooper has been pressed to confirm his support for the tax hike since he signed Senate Bill 213 into law in May. He told reporters after the signing that he had his preferences on what the tax would look like, but he would not share them. The governor did say at the time that he “certainly” would campaign for the ballot effort, whatever it ended up looking like. Hickenlooper said on July 10 that he’s spent the last month having conversations with business leaders about the tax initiative “It’s a complex issue, and in the

majority of the cases, once we get the facts out there, they’re pretty supportive,” the governor said. If funded, the new school finance act would create full-day kindergarten, provide preschool for at-risk children, and would put more money into needs-based programs for special education students and children who are learning English. The act also aims to increase perpupil funding for school districts across the state in a more equitable fashion than the current system allows. Initiative 22 will ask Colorado voters in November to approve an increase in the state income tax, which is now 4.63 percent for all Coloradans. Under Initiative 22, residents who make up to $75,000 a year would see their rate rise to 5 percent. Income above that level would be taxed at 5.9 percent. Ballot organizers have until Aug. 5 to collect 86,105 valid signatures for the initiative to be placed on the ballot.

A Loveland lawmaker has gone from delivering pizzas to Colorado houses to being the Republican leader of the Colorado House. Rep. Brian DelGrosso on July 11 was elected House minority leader by members of his party. DelGrosso, who delivered pizzas for Domino’s before buying three franchises of his own, was praised by fellow Republicans during a brief election at the Capitol. “I’ve seen Brian fight relentlessly for our values, and for our caucus, and for what’s dear to our heart,” said Rep. Libby Szabo, R-Arvada. “And I appreciate that. And I believe those are key traits to being a leader. “And he makes a hell of a pizza.” DelGrosso has served in the House since 2009 and has been a member of the House Finance and Appropriations committees. A Wyoming native, DelGrosso moved to Colorado after serving in the Air Force and the Wyoming National Guard, before he delivered pizzas for a local Domino’s franchise. DelGrosso now owns Domino’s franchises in Loveland and Windsor. “It’s definitely very humbling for me to be here today, to be in this position,” DelGrosso said. DelGrosso replaces Rep. Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs as minority leader. Waller stepped down from his leadership role on July 11, so he can focus on his campaign for attorney general. Waller said he felt “a little bit melancholy” to be stepping down as minority leader, but said “it’s the right thing to do.”

Rep. Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, right, stands next to Rep. Kevin Priola, R-Henderson, after being elected House minority leader at the Capitol on July 11. Waller said he was proud of how he led his party during the recent legislative session — one where Republicans faced an uphill battle on just about every issue in the Democrat-controlled General Assembly. “While we lost a lot of votes because we simply did not have the numbers, we certainly won a lot of debates,” Waller said. DelGrosso praised Waller’s leadership before blasting the agenda that Democrats pursued this year. DelGrosso opposed many of the efforts that Democrats touted, such as school finance reform, civil unions and gun control. DelGrosso said he will work to “repeal and correct the onerous bills that were passed this previous session.” He also said that Coloradans “took notice” of the Democrats’ issues platform. “Today isn’t about me, it’s about our election,” he said. “And we all know that elections have consequences.” House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, shook hands with DelGros-

so after the election and took the high road in a press statement that was issued afterward. “We don’t always agree, but we do always manage to have a productive dialogue,” Ferrandino said. “I congratulate him and hope he will lead his caucus toward bipartisan solutions on the issues most important to the people of Colorado.” Republican Rep. Frank McNulty of Highlands Ranch, a former House speaker, said DelGrosso will face challenges that McNulty never faced when he led the House GOP. “It is a different dynamic, leading a House caucus when you’re in the minority, because you have to react to what the majority Democrats are doing,” McNulty said afterward. “And that’s going to be a challenge for him.” McNulty believes that DelGrosso’s business background will be an asset to the party’s leadership. “He is the American dream,” McNulty said. “He’s an American success story, and now he’s leading our House Republican caucus.”

Mulch pile growing at Black Forest facility Area residents taking advantage of program after wildfire By Danny Summers

dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Few people like the sight, smell and crunch of mulch as much as Ruth Ann Steel. But even she has had her fill of watching the decaying material pile up in front of her this summer. Steel oversees the Black Forest SlashMulch Program, a wildfire and mitigation recycling program co-sponsored by the El Paso County Environmental Division, Colorado Forestry Association and Black Forest Fire Department. For 20 years she has coordinated efforts at the one-and-a-half acre facility, located along Herring Road. But never before has she seen so much slashing and mulching taking place in such a short period of time. “We are almost overwhelmed,” Steel said. “I have never seen such a big mulch pile. But it’s a good problem to have.” Things are piling up due to the effect from last month’s massive Black Forest Fire that destroyed more than 500 homes and burned more than 14,000 acres. Homeowners and land owners in the area are taking what’s left of their charred trees and heading to Steel’s facility to have the material slashed into mulch. Steel was concerned that the charred

The Black Forest Slash-Mulch Program facility in El Paso County is overflowing these days. Mulch piles are growing as a result of the recent Black Forest Fire that charred many trees. Photo courtesy of Black Forest Slash-Mulch wood might be hazardous to the environment, so she sent some samples a laboratory at Colorado State University in Fort Collins for testing. She should know the results this week. “There’s no difference in color between ordinary mulch and charred mulch once it goes through the machine,” Steel said. “The fire went through so fast it left only a very thin coating of char.

Artists ‘hang together’ at library Mentoring program passes knowledge to kids from area By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ ourcoloradonews.com Recent visitors to the Parker Library might have noticed a slight change in decor. The second annual “Let’s Hang Together” Art Show is a display of works from amateur and experienced artists from the Parker area. Organized by the 235-member Parker Artists Guild, “Let’s Hang Together” is the culmination of a mentoring program meant to pass knowledge from one generation to another. Bill Parker, co-chairman of the art show, said 24 guild members mentored 33 kids and teens this year. The mentees “get to experience the whole process of creating art, displaying it for critique and maybe selling it,” he said. The 55 pieces hanging on the library walls this year cover the range of media, from photography to acrylics to watercolors. The first “Let’s Hang Together” Art Show last year was wellreceived by the community, said Laura Elhaje, co-chairwoman of the show. Keeping the arts alive is important in a time when budget cuts are eliminating school art classes, she said. Those being mentored include the kids, grandkids and neighbors of Parker

The Parker Artists Guild’s “Let’s Hang Together” Art Show is on display at the Parker Library through July. Photo by Chris Michlewicz Artists Guild members, as well as children from the community. The mentors teach a variety of techniques during the side-by-side process, including how to do a wash and how wet the paint should be. The handson guidance gives the kids experience and a “sense of accomplishment,” said Elhaje, a guild member for five years. Sally Elliott, a wellknown artist in Denver who has taught at the University of Colorado in Denver and Boulder since 1984, will award prizes to the participating PAG artists and provide personal feedback to all the young mentees about their artistic creations. The public is invited to attend a reception for the

artists and their mentees from 6 to 8 p.m. July 31 at the Parker Library. “Let’s Hang Together” is one component of the Parker Artists Guild’s community outreach. The group also has its monthly “Lessons and Lemonade” program, a series of free sessions at Hobby Lobby in Parker. A different guild artist comes in each month to lead a class. “Lessons and Lemonade” has become so popular that there is a waiting list. “It’s a desire of the guild to leave a legacy, and this is a good way for them to do that,” Elhaje said. The Parker Artists Guild welcomes artists of all skill levels as members. For more information, visit www.parkerartistsguild.com.

“Carbon is good for plants, so my guess is that this is probably okay for use and for the environment. I think it will be beneficial. I’ve been testing it myself in my outdoor greenhouse and my plants and things are flourishing.” The slash-mulch facility is open to El

Paso and Teller County residents. But Steel said folks can come from any county and they won’t be turned away. “We don’t check license plates,” she said. The facility is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 to 7:30 p.m., Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. About 20 volunteers help run and maintain the facility. “Two Saturdays ago we had a line of 20 loads that swung down north on Herring and curled around on Shoup,” Steel said. “We took in 1,000 pickup loads that day.” El Paso County workers have been trucking loads of mulch to Flying W Ranch to help in the mitigation and restoration from damage caused by the Waldo Canyon Fire of 2012. That fire destroyed 347 homes in the Mountain Shadows area and burned more than 18,000 acres. “They’re trying to help with the erosion caused by the Waldo Canyon Fire,” Steel said. More recently, Steel has been in contact with the Colorado Springs office of the Natural Resource Conservation Service. The NRCS has expressed interest in using mulch from Steel’s facility to help with the Waldo Canyon Fire rehabilitation assistance program. Two major floods have occurred this month near Highway 24 as a result of heavy rain run-off from the Waldo Canyon burn scar.

Spine surgery ‘best decision ever’ Parker Adventist patient touts machine that minimizes risk By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcolorado news.com Anyone with chronic back problems knows that debilitating pain can render the simplest tasks impossible. For someone like Wes Shoen, an active outdoorsman and married father of two boys, his worsening back pain meant a life devoid of his favorite sports: golf, skiing, running. He is also an avid surfer, and the shooting pain made Shoen’s move from water to board more difficult, plus he wasn’t the same when riding waves in some of the best surf spots in the world. Shoen, who moved from Highlands Ranch to unincorporated Jefferson County last year, woke up one morning with minor back discomfort and decided he probably slept wrong. That occurred every two weeks, and later became so frequent that he sought help from a chiropractor, who directed him to get an MRI. The MRI revealed a herniated disc between the L4 and L5 lumbar vertebrae. In the hopes of avoiding surgery, Dr. Zaki Ibrahim started Shoen out with a steroid injection, which worked well before wearing off about a month later. Shoen moved on to oral steroids for six months, but realized that something needed to change after a vacation to Las Vegas. When Shoen missed the slightest incline or decline on a sidewalk, he would fall and experience immense pain

Wes Shoen, an active outdoorsman from unincorporated Jefferson County, was running one month after undergoing surgery on a herniated disc via a high-tech machine at Parker Adventist Hospital. The minimally invasive surgery is more accurate. Photo by Chris Michlewicz in his lower spine. “I said, `I can’t live like that.’ I was tired of trying to make it work,” the 43-year-old said. “I went to the doctor and I said, `I want my life back. What can you do?’”

Ibrahim, a spine surgeon at Parker Adventist and Littleton Adventist hospitals, says he had heard about a machine, the Mazor Robotics Renaissance surgical guidance system, through medical journals, but never expected

that one would come to Parker Adventist. The hospital is one of few in the country, and the only one in the Rocky Mountain region, with the spine surgery device. Shoen was the perfect candidate for the minimally invasive

surgery, in which tiny incisions are made, limiting tissue disruption. Ibrahim says he can make a pre-operative plan, based on a CT scan obtained before surgery, to guide the instrumentation to the correct place. A computer software program “registers to anatomic landmarks,” making the insertion of screws to stabilize the spine more precise, he said. “The idea that you can target particular structures outside of the skin, without seeing them, is novel,” Ibrahim said. He directed Shoen, who had gained weight after going nearly two years without skiing, golfing or running, to watch a video about the Mazor Robotics Renaissance guidance system. That was all it took. “In my mind, it was an easy decision,” said Shoen, a project engineer for a natural gas company. On Jan. 31, he was among the first to undergo the advanced surgery at Parker Adventist; only 16 surgeries have taken place since the system’s arrival in October 2012, but that number is expected to increase dramatically. One month to the day after the surgery, Shoen was doing light running, and he “felt 100 percent” at two months. At exactly the fourmonth mark, he was in Costa Rica surfing his first waves with his 8-year-old son. He says today that he cannot tell that he has had surgery. Because the surgery is minimally invasive, recovery time is cut in half, Ibrahim says. Shoen did not have to undergo any physical therapy, despite having what was once a major surgical procedure. “It was the best decision ever,” he says.

Deal reached on two gun issues Lawsuit still going forward to challenge new statutes By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com It’s pretty rare when both sides of a guncontrol debate — much less a lawsuit — walk away happy. But that’s what happened recently, after parties who are tangled in a lawsuit over recently instituted Colorado gun laws came to an agreement on a couple of areas of contention. The agreement was limited to clarifying language having to do with limits on gun ammunition magazines and whether gun owners could allow anyone besides themselves to handle those magazines. The agreement had nothing to do with the meat that’s left in the lawsuit, which deals with whether the gun laws — which were passed by the Democrat-controlled Legislature and signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper earlier this year — violate the Second Amendment. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit against Hickenlooper — which are made up of gun-rights groups that include 55 county sheriffs — were set to ask a federal judge on July 10 to block parts of the gun laws, specifically one that limits large-capacity ammunition magazines to 15 rounds. But, the night before the hearing, the two sides ended up coming to an agreement that clarifies which magazines are banned under the law, and clears up confusion over issues pertaining to the temporary possession of gun magazines by someone besides the owner. “We were ready for what we thought would be a big battle,” said plaintiffs’ attorney Dave Kopel. “As it turned out, 24 hours from the hearing, we had everything we were asking for.” Hickenlooper, a Democrat, and Attorney General John Suthers, a Republican, had drafted memos outlining how the gun laws should be enforced. But the plaintiffs argued that the memos regarding the maga-

zine limit law needed clarification. The plaintiffs were concerned that the law banned magazines with removable baseplates, which are “designed to be readily converted” to hold more than 15 rounds. This, they were set to argue, could have ended up banning nearly all ammunition magazines. The plaintiffs also were concerned that language in the law that requires gun owners to be in “continuous possession” of their magazines would essentially bar anyone else besides the gun owners from handling them. The state’s attorneys agreed to make technical language adjustments in the memos, clarifying that the laws do not affect magazines with baseplates and that “continuous possession” only means continuous gun ownership. Because the two sides came to agreement on the fixes, a federal judge refused to grant an injunction that had been requested by the plaintiffs. “That’s all we tried to solve and they were solved,” Kopel said. “We fixed a tremendous amount of real-life problems for citizens and law enforcement.” Solicitor General Dan Domenico said the state had no problem addressing the technical fixes. “In general, we’re very pleased with how things turned out,” he said. “We came to an agreement with the plaintiffs to clarify a few things that they’ve been concerned about, that are consistent with our interpretation of these statutes since before the governor signed them.” Hickenlooper told reporters later that day that the lawyers “were trying to use common sense to figure out how, going forward, this would not a huge burden (on gun owners), but at the same time reasonable.” “This is what was intended all the way along, to make sure there’s no misunderstanding,” the governor said. “We’re not trying to ban all these magazines ....” What’s left of the lawsuit deals with Second Amendment issues. Kopel said the case is “likely going to trial,” which is expected to happen later this year.

‘We are going to continue to conserve water wherever possible.’ Jim Priddy, director of parks and open space ed 500 gallons of water per month. Other water saving measures include reduced hours for the sprayground at Cornerstone Park, which will shut off at 6 p.m., two hours earlier than in previous years. Tree plantings approved prior to April 2013 will be fulfilled, including those identified for matching gift donations and planting by volunteer groups or part of budgeted capital improvement projects, but no new additional plantings will be considered. The district’s computerized irrigation systems at other parks will concentrate water in higher-traffic use areas, like athletic fields so they will remain safe and playable, or where grass can become stressed due to heavy use. Adequate water, along with customary management practices, provides turf with a better chance for survival during heavy

play. Residents have come to love their green parks; however, district parks may not be as green this year. Continued drought conditions, high temperatures and wind all contribute to the browning and drying of grass. South Suburban is asking patron to conserve water wherever possible at its recreation centers, like taking shorter showers or bringing towels from home to help reduce high-volume daily laundering. Restaurants at the district’s golf courses will continue to provide water only upon request. “We are going to continue to conserve water wherever possible,” Priddy said. “We’ve been in a drought since 2011 and here it is 2013. Who’s to say the drought won’t last for another year?”

opinions / yours and ours

With golf event, area’s cup runneth over One of the biggest sporting events you’ve probably never heard of will take place in the Denver metro area next month. The Solheim Cup will bring two dozen of the best players in women’s professional golf to Parker. We know. August in Colorado means the Broncos are back — and we’re excited about that, too. But the NFL’s regular season will still be weeks away during the Aug. 13-18 Solheim Cup. Take a timeout from the preseason, and turn your attention to the Colorado Golf Club. That might mean ordering tickets for the event. Or it might mean just watching on TV. Either way, the event is worthy of acknowledging, for a number of reasons: • The top international team competi-

our view tion in women’s golf, the Solheim Cup will feature 12 players from the United States playing against 12 from Europe. (Think Ryder Cup, for those of you familiar with men’s pro golf.) Even if you normally don’t follow the women’s game, or golf in general, we think you will be impressed by the quality of play. Sure, you’ll see some precision pitches and putts, but also, with Colorado’s elevation, you might be treated to some 300-yard drives.

• The event puts a spotlight on women’s athletics. If you have a young daughter interested in sports, these talented women could serve as an inspiration for what can be achieved. At the same time, it highlights good sportsmanship — we’re fairly certain you won’t see any violent temper tantrums or hear talk of performance-enhancing drugs. • The Solheim Cup will help elevate the Denver area’s status on the global stage. Nothing wrong with letting people across the world know there is more to Colorado than skiing, beer and the Broncos. • The event is expected to provide a boost for the area’s economy. The 2009 Solheim Cup, hosted by a course in a Chicago suburb, reportedly generated a $19.4 mil-

lion economic impact for the area. Officials here were told to expect a similar benefit. Hotels and restaurants in Denver, Douglas and Arapahoe counties should get a major boost. But we suspect that many visitors, who may be making their first trip to the Centennial State, will also venture west and take in the scenery — and patronize the businesses — of communities within a chip shot of the mountains. The Solheim Cup also offers something else, something you wouldn’t necessarily expect from a golf tournament: a fun atmosphere. Spectators will be singing and chanting, some dressed up in costumes, as they cheer for the Americans or Europeans. Sounds like a good way for Broncos fans to get warmed up.

Life is nothing to lose sleep over

Customer service goes for the gold Really, I have to share with you my most recent shopping experiences. You see it wasn’t the “terrible” or even “horrific” event that caught my attention, but rather a series of employee and consumer interactions that were so over-the-top “better than good” that I felt compelled to recognize the full-time and part-time employees in our local stores and shops. As a coach and trainer to the sales profession I thought I may have been having an “out of body experience” during my most recent day of shopping. I had many stores to frequent that day as I prepared for my daughter’s birthday, a vacation and a business trip. My checklist was ready, the stores identified, and “in-and-out” of each store was my mantra. I expected the worst and received the best. And then it happened. “What may I help you shop for today?” That was the greeting I received by a bright-eyed and enthusiastic 17- or 18-year-old girl who prior to my entry was straightening up the shelves in the store. Her genuine smile and eager interest caught my attention. However, I knew what I needed and proceeded to grab those items and headed straight for the checkout line. Although the service was awesome, I didn’t pay particular attention to the experience as I hurried to the next store on my list. And once again I was greeted with an energetic smile and welcome when I entered the shop. Please keep in mind that I teach people how to sell, how to manage and how to provide exceptional customer service. These were not my clients and I was feeling like all of a sudden every store that I entered, the staff was going out of their way to make sure that my shopping needs were taken care of. Was someone setting me up? Or did the retail world undergo a radical change? Did teenagers and young adults become aware of how important their role is to the success of the store that they represent and to the shopper’s experience? These were the thoughts that went racing through my mind after each and every store I visited that day. Each store visit was better than the previous one. So I applaud the extraordinary customer service efforts of our local store owners and employees. I congratulate the teams and

If you want to lose weight, go to bed early. If you want to lose weight, stop being a night owl. Most of us are some kind of bird, either an early bird or a night owl. On average, apparently, night owls weigh more than early birds. A recent study indicated that those of us who stay up late tend to snack, and not on alfalfa sprouts and a plate of mashed yeast. Night owls snack on chips and cookies and pies. Right now I am both birds. Instead of a good night’s sleep, I have become a serial napper. I sleep for a few hours and then get up and get busy. I have been seen at the grocery store at 2 a.m. I took an Asian friend to dinner one evening and asked her what she was going to do later. She said, “Eat.” She said that she ate, mostly noodle dishes, periodically throughout the day and night. I thought she was a straight-out loon. Now I understand because that’s the way I am sleeping. And it seems to be working. I have never been more productive. I don’t recommend it, however. I am able to do it because I am retired, and don’t have to be at the office in the morning. If you have a day job and tried this, you’d be on the streets.

Television is different at 4 a.m. than it is at 4 p.m. Commercials last for 30 minutes instead of for three. It’s how I met my vacuum cleaner. And my juicer. And my ladder. There are other differences in the middle of the night. The streets are wide open. The brats in the neighborhood are tucked in bed. It’s calm and quiet and serene. I try to have my column written by the time the daily paper lands on the driveway. I write with the aid of coffee and read with the aid of coffee. I have a good idea that my doctor would be against this, so I haven’t told him. I have never heard anyone recommend serial napping. You might be surprised how many merchants are open 24 hours a day, and what Smith continues on Page 13

letter to the editor Doubts about Sterling Ranch water individuals that made my day of shopping “better than good.” I am grateful for the management teams that have trained and shared their experiences with the newest of sales associates so they are better equipped and ready to provide an incredible shopping experience. I am not sure about you, but whenever I receive a level of service that is above and beyond my expectation, I want to recognize and appreciate the people responsible. So after the first two stores where I thought it may have been an anomaly, it was a refreshing and unexpected surprise to receive the same treatment in every store I shopped in that day. These are our friends and family members who work in these stores and put forth this effort. These are people we know and love and hang out with each and every day but maybe fail to recognize or appreciate them for what they do. Please join me in saying “thank you” whenever we can. Dealing with the public is not always easy, as people can be extremely demanding sometimes. However my most recent observations and actual experiences have proved to me that we are surrounded by fantastic sales associates who care about us as a consumer. If you are a store owner, manager, sales associate or member of the customer care team I just want to say how much I appreciate you and all that you do, thank you. Have you had an exceptional shopping or customer service experience? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com and I hope that you will have a better than good week.

Regarding the Douglas County commissioners’ approval of the Sterling Ranch development: What I would like to see “down the road” is an actual water use comparison to what is projected. My feeling is that Sterling Ranch is using “smoke and mirrors” to make the water usage match what can be obtained from every conceivable source.

I find it very difficult to believe that every person in the proposed Sterling Ranch community will actually use less than half of what is considered “normal” in the surrounding areas.

Claims backlog for veterans inexcusable

The Department of Veterans Affairs needs a watchdog. This is the single most important thing I have learned since joincials ing the House Veterans Affairs Committee fit. in January. The Committee must stay vigiglas lant because, if not, the VA will not perform ajor up to the level the Congress expects and rs, veterans deserve. he As the chairman of the Oversight and t Investigation Subcommittee, I have been ze shocked at the level of bureaucratic incomin a petence the VA has shown in their ability to reduce the disability claims backlog. hing Although their reported goal is to have average wait times of 125 days per claim n by 2015, the current reality is that many and veterans wait an average of 270-plus days s, as before their claim is processed. eans. I have little hope that this department fans will reach its 2015 goal of reducing the average wait time to 125 days because the VA has not laid out intermediate metrics between now and 2015 that show how it will reach its goals. A recent Government Accountability Office report, in response to the VA’s 2015 goal, concluded that “this plan lacks any metrics or deadlines to ensure these goals are met.”

In a May letter to the president, I, along with over 160 members of the House, expressed our dismay with the lack of progress in the backlog. We wrote, “This country must be grateful for the safe homecoming of every single man and woman who has served in harm’s way. Our joy in their return must be reflected in our commitment to helping all who have served.” I lay the responsibility of the likely failure of the VA’s backlog plan at the feet of Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki. Although Congress has allocated a huge 40 percent increase in the VA’s budget at a time when other agency budgets are be-

ing slashed, the backlog is growing rather than shrinking. The VA lacks effective leadership, not inadequate resources. The secretary must be more forceful in shaking up the status quo. The issues with the claims backlog, as with Gulf War illness research, hospital construction and cyber security, are not funding-related; rather it is a cultural problem within the department that must be fixed. I know firsthand that the VA does not answer my inquiries in a timely manner and too often I hear from veteran service organizations and individual veterans that the VA is not responsive to their questions as well. Often times, my Oversight hearings become embattled stalemates between my subcommittee and representatives from the VA until witnesses are forced to answer questions from members. Unfortunately, the answers usually confirm my pre-existing belief that the VA has acted wrongly either intentionally or incompetently. Either way, a disappointing pattern has emerged that we must change. For this reason, I have supported strong actions like suspending bonuses for VA

employees, and I have joined Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California in legislation that would create a commission to implement recommendations from the Government Accountability Office that will help reduce the claims processing time. Further, I have instituted a post-traumatic stress working group with Sen. Mark Udall to look for ways the VA can help treat veterans with PTSD and whether the VA can alter its claims process to better fit the needs of these disability claims. It is our absolute moral duty to help the VA overcome its problems so it can finally make progress against the disability claims backlog. As a Marine Corps combat veteran myself, I have a personal stake in the success of the VA and I will continue to press them to improve so our veterans are getting the care and service they have earned. Mike Coffman is the U.S. Representative for Colorado’s 6th District. He is a Marine Corps combat veteran and has a combined 21 years of military experience between the Army, the Army Reserve, the Marine Corps and the Marine Corps Reserve.

Fed taper may be painful case of cold turkey

Most investors are opening their June statements about now and wondering what happened. Surely there must be a mistake. Everything was looking pretty good at the end of the first quarter and then we had a realization: Someday the Federal Reserve Board will start to taper off on their monthly bond purchase program, which is pumping money into the economy. This awareness pushed markets into an unusual phenomenon, when asset classes behave as one. Stocks went down, bonds went down, gold went down and there was no benefit in the month of June for diversification. While this happens rarely, it is still painful. It feels like going cold turkey after a prolonged addiction. The concerns are understandable. Those in favor of continued Quantitative Easing do not feel the U.S. economy is strong enough to sustain positive growth without continued stimulus. This could lead to an economic downturn, deflation or even recession. Those in favor of turning off the flow of money from the Fed are concerned we don’t have a true economic environment with the false stimulus. This makes it difev- ficult to determine real valuations and runs nch the risk of future inflation if the money half supply continues to expand artificially. ur-

you can do. Of course you can get gas and a car wash. And just about anything else, like printer ink and weed killer and patio furniture, at grocery stores. Grocery shopping is the best because I am there alone with the crew. They are emptying boxes everywhere, the shelves are being stocked, and I feel like I just won Shopper of the Week because I don’t have to dodge Eight Is Enough. After midnight my favorite station, KVOD, is non-stop music. There are no interviews, requests for car donations, operas, or abstract contemporary indeterminacy. I am never in morning or afternoon rush hour, and the peace of mind in that is unsurpassable. I endured both when I was teaching, and arrived at school grumpy,

The very slow measured growth since the last recession has put us in this position. The low GDP number announced for the fourth revision of the first quarter was under 2 percent. It is hard to feel very positive about an economy that is only producing 1.8 percent output more than four years after recession. Normally by now we would have enough momentum to carry us through the rest of the business cycle. The very slow growth and stubborn unemployment cause us to question the stability of the economy once the Fed stimulus is removed. Investors would like to know how to allocate investments for the future. It is difficult to understand when to buy, sell or what to hold when everything goes down just on a rumor. It is ironic that the markets had such a significant negative reaction to no news.

We all feel the pressures of trying to get 30 hours of life into a 24-hour day. But not me. I get everything done without high anxiety. Without feeling like I am having a breakdown. Without feeling like I want to jump. How long can this go on? I do not know. I do know that I never do the same thing over and over for very long. Some new method of coping with existence may occur to me next Wednesday. I am awash with black coffee, the daily paper just arrived, and the first of my three-days-in-one is winding down.

Fed Chairman Bernanke did not say he would taper, in fact he said virtually nothing new at all. Perhaps the calendar is ticking by and most logical people understand this can’t continue much longer. Therefore, you might want to ask, “Are we willing to suffer some short-term losses in order to get the economy back on track? What will it take to get off the Fed and learn how to swim on our own?” Stay tuned … there is more to play out here. The new more transparent Fed has indicated many times, there won’t be a reason to taper QE3 until we see unemployment around 6.5 percent and inflation closer to 2 percent. The current prediction is that it will be 2014 before we see significant changes.

Meanwhile, as if a light switch turned on, July numbers are looking much better.

Reaching new heights

When former newspaper designer Dale Taylor tried to convince his daughter Widget that monsters didn’t live under her bed, the 44-year-old Centennial father came up with a line of plush toys that fueled the girl’s imagination, yet helped build more courage than any nightlight ever could.

As former newspaper designer, cartoonist and pet toy creator Dale Taylor pondered how to convince his daughter Widget there weren’t monsters living under her bed, he knew he had quite the task ahead of him. “It started off with she didn’t like the shadows, and then she didn’t the light and it was cute,” Taylor said. “But one night it was just one thing after another, and trying to get her to go to sleep became pretty frustrating because we were all tired.” The 44-year-old Centennial father pondered the night’s activities and how to eradicate the child’s fears and still encourage her imagination. It had to be something that was powerful enough symbolically to quell the child’s fears, but yet soft enough to sleep with, Taylor explained. And so, the Targimals were born. Targimals, according to Taylor, are legendary pint-sized warriors, part of a creative plush-toy line he founded along with his Centennial-based toy company, Forge of Honor. Targimals live to protect children against bedtime monsters and other scary creatures. Combined with the Bordor Blades and Bordor Shields, the soft and cuddly toys fuel the imagination, encourage play and “instill more courage than any nightlight could.” The stuffed toys have no hard edges and are designed for children ages 3 and up. Facing forward, the Targimal’s shield is and ready for battle, or when reversed, it becomes a pillow, allowing the character to watch over the resting child Targimals get their name from the word “targe,” having roots in both Middle English and Middle French.

“It’s eventually where we got our word ‘target’ from, but its original meaning is something more like ‘round shield,’” said Taylor. Unfortunately, Targimals don’t do homework or convince kids to eat their vegetables. They do guard against trespassing monsters and other unworldly fears, but are not permitted to interfere in day-to-day life. But right now, Taylor said the monsters still have a bit of the upper hand. The sixth-generation Texan said the toy line is ready to go, but needs $18,000 for tooling, materials, labor and other costs associated with the first production run. So he turned to Kickstarter, a popular Internet-based crowdsourcing tool that funds creative projects. However, Kickstarter forces a time limit on the fundraising campaign. Those projects that reach their financial goal by the set time limit receive the funding in full, as well as any excess. Those projects that come close, but don’t reach their goal, receive nothing. “I think that’s the hardest part to get across,” admitted Taylor. “The toys have gotten fantastic reviews and parents are excited, but I’m not sure they understand we are on a time crunch.” So far, Forge of Honor has raised more than $8,500. The project has until Aug. 6 to come up the remainder of the $18,000 goal. While Taylor remains optimistic he can achieve the goal, he said there are other options, including interested retailers that could help get the product line to market. If funded on schedule, Taylor said he anticipates the first batch of Targimals to hit the market by early 2014.

Funeral Facts

J.R. Pinon Olinger Andrews Caldwell Gibson Chapel

Q. If I have already made funeral arrangements, do I have to start over again if I move? A. What happens depends on the funeral home where you made your original arrangements and whether it is affiliated with other funeral homes near your new home. At some funeral homes, moving can be complicated. You may have to request a refund and, depending on your agreement, considerable paperwork and cancellation fees may apply. With Olinger Andrews Caldwell Gibson Chapel, the process is much simpler. We are part of the largest national network of funeral providers and offer a National Transferability program. If you move more than 75 miles away from where your original agreements were made, any other funeral home in our extensive network will honor your plans.

Car break-in suspect turns himself in Staff report Redanos Barihe, 21, of Denver, turned himself in July 2 and is being held in Douglas County on a $100,000 bond in connection with a June crime spree involving more than 30 car break-ins, a home burglary and car theft in two Castle Rock neighborhoods, according to information from Castle Rock police and the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office.

er her the future. Brandon Petersen, a techlped nology teacher at Sand Creek Ele-

mentary School in Highlands Ranch, says in many cases, it’s best for teachers to “let the kids take control of their own learning,” which he admits is a “huge flip” in conventional thinking. During times when teachers are fumbling with a new device, “the kids say, `hand it over,’” he says. Petersen is among those who collaborate with instructors in the classroom. He has become “Mr. Technology,” trouble-shooting when needed at Sand Creek. But the idea behind Geek Camp is to help teachers bewordcome self-sufficient when new techng isnologies are introduced. said This summer’s Geek Camp, a series of lessons July 8-12 at Challenge ome-to Excellence Charter School in Parkveg-er, enabled teachers to explore a “digssingital playground,” a room brimming butwith devices from different compa-daynies. They also had guided practices stersand “campfire” sessions, small group discussions that allow teachers to e toyshare what they already know with 0 foreach other. s as- “They’re in here using learningenvironment language,” said Kim

McMonagle, the school district’s director of educational technology. The teachers are encouraged to share what they have learned on the “mountaintop,” or private forums specifically designed for them to teach others, creating an exponential learning experience for those involved, she said. McMonagle keeps up on the constantly changing world of classroom technologies through conferences and monthly group gatherings with education professionals from throughout Colorado. Petersen says when he started with the DCSD less than 10 years ago, teachers and students followed an unofficial “bring your own device” rule, or BYOD. These days, there is a push for “one-to-one,” or one electronic device per student. Sue McTigue, a music teacher at Soaring Hawk Elementary School, led a Geek Camp lesson on how to use technology in a musical setting. She plans to use Edmodo, Smart Boards and White Boards for in-class and at-home learning. For example, students can watch tutorials on how to play a specific song and then use Garage Band software to submit recordings directly to her. Geek Camp helps teachers earn professional growth incentives and meet re-licensure requirements.

Police said a stolen 2005 F150 four-door truck has been found. Items stolen from the cars and home included two handguns, which have been recovered, as well as wallets and electronics such as iPods. Some of the stolen items have turned up at pawnshops around the Denver metro area. Castle Rock police are asking for the public’s continued help in identifying at least two other suspects in the crimes that occurred that night.

“This case was solved so quickly thanks to a combination of stellar detective work by our officers and the public’s diligence,” Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley said. Residents should lock their homes and their vehicles at night and close their garage doors, according to a police news release. Valuables, especially firearms, should not be left inside unattended vehicles. Anyone with information about additional suspects should call Castle Rock Police Detective Jason Maes at 303-663-6100.

bership so she can participate in the main form of exercise OK’d by doctors and concerned family. “Things are tight,” McGuire said. McGuire can only work parttime because of the constant trips to Children’s Hospital, and the family of three children depends mostly on her husband’s new job as an electrical engineer. But she said the medical bills keep coming in and there are mechanical problems with her car, so there’s one car left for Maddy’s stepfather’s commute and for her hospital trips. There isn’t money for new clothes or for gymnastics classes for Maddy’s older sister. It’s not a well-known disease, so families and friends are plan-

ning a fundraising event for Maddy from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at a location arranged by a family friend, in the Sapphire Pointe neighborhood’s clubhouse at 7550 Soapstone Way, in Castle Rock. The event is called Spa for a Cause, with all proceeds going to Maddy’s medical fund. There will be facials offered, massages from licensed massage therapists, demonstrations and appetizers. McGuire said the event isn’t about raising a ton of money — although that would help — as much as it is giving people the chance to meet Maddy and hear her story, eliminate fears, and get to know the girl who wants to become a doctor. “I want to help people,” Maddy said.

Rock, like almost all local jurisdictions in Douglas County, decided to use a provision in the new state law that allows local jurisdictions to enact bans on commercial marijuana use, meaning such things as retail marijuana shops and commercial growing operations. Douglas County was the state’s first county to impose

a commercial ban, and Castle Rock, Lone Tree, Parker and, most recently, Castle Pines, followed suit. Larkspur has imposed a moratorium until 2014, waiting to see what rules and regulations the state imposes before taking further action, Larkspur Town Manager Matt Krimmer said recently.

Pickleball making quite a racket Hybrid sport takes root in south metro area By Anna Sutterer

Special to Colorado Community Media A fast-growing sport combining elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong, pickleball has swept across America and made its way to south metro Denver. South Suburban Parks and Recreation embraced the trend last November at its Sheridan center and expanded it to the Lone Tree location last month. The Buck and Goodson recreation centers, in Littleton and Centennial respectively, are also exploring adding the hybrid sport, if enough interest is expressed. While the game is new to many, its roots date back decades. Named after founder Joel Pritchard’s dog Pickles, the game began on Bainbridge Island, Wash., in 1965 when Pritchard and Bill Bell misplaced the shuttlecock to their badminton set and had to improvise a new form of entertainment using the pooch’s perforated plastic ball. Pickleball is most commonly a doubles sport, played on a court similar to tennis but with onethird the area to cover, and even smaller when played as singles. Players wield wooden or composite paddles, just shorter than a tennis racket, as they swing with precision at a wiffle-like ball and shuffle in all directions across the court. Don’t be fooled by the cutesy name and adorable story. Though there may not be much room to run about and the lighter ball generally flies with less fervor than in tennis, the game holds real excitement for those who play it. According to the USA Pickleball Association, there are more than 100,000 active players in America. In especially competitive pickleball areas, a special court on one’s property is very common — akin

Beverly Carr, of Castle Rock, takes her game of pickleball seriously. Carr is one of several regulars who play at the Lone Tree Rec Center’s drop-in pickleball sessions. Photos by Deborah Grigsby to a basketball hoop in the driveway. Attendance at Sheridan’s program has been increasing and is becoming more consistent since its opening, according to facility supervisor Eddie Kanoza. There are no lessons offered, but a few regulars, including Kanoza, are available to help beginners at the drop-in gym time from 10 a.m. to noon on Mondays and Wednesdays. The Lone Tree Recreation Center runs a similar operation from 3 to 6 p.m. on Sundays and 1 to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Four of the center’s pickleball connoisseurs are BJ Pell, Tad Deutsch and Darryl and Ann

Pickleball players use small paddles, similar to those used in table tennis, and a perforated plastic ball. Wooden paddles are typically used by beginning players. More advanced players opt to use racquets made of more lightweight materials such as composites or graphite.

Shaw. They’ve taken it upon themselves to manage the advancement of the program and help newcomers get involved. “We’re just trying to bring anybody new in who wants to come and we start teaching them some stuff. We’re not real teachers but we’ve played. Hopefully we can bring them to the next level,” Pell said. Fortunately for the amateur coaches, pickleball proves to be a pretty simple sport to learn with the right experience. “It seems like anyone with a racquetball or any kind of paddle-sport background catches on pretty fast,” Darryl Shaw said. According to Pell, the Lone Tree location attracts many ex-tennis players who are looking for another way to stay active within their previously acquired skill sets. The Shaws, Pell and Deutsch are also involved with the wellestablished “Parker Picklers” of the Parker community, and hope to use the connection in bringing Lone Tree up to a similar level of play and growth. Outdoor courts with an earlier time slot for playing, as well as upcoming clinics to enhance skills, are some of the features players like Darryl Shaw would prefer. The Lone Tree program is still quite fresh, so adjustments are being considered. According to Deutsch, the possibility of outdoor courts has been discussed, and with that change an earlier time frame could be added to account for the heat. Cost is a factor,

Dr. Gale Hollers, of Castle Pines, returns a serve during a July 12 game of pickleball at the Lone Tree Rec Center. Similar to tennis, pickleball is played on a court with the same dimensions as a doubles badminton court. The net is similar to a tennis net, but is mounted two inches lower.

however. The smaller area of a pickleball surface opposed to a tennis court is more efficient, but being outdoors still renders the space useless through Colorado’s long and unpredictable winters. Regarding the implementation of clinics and coaching in the area, there is a chance some expe-

rienced players from surrounding areas would be available to help. “We’ve got some people who have taught over in Parker and Aurora that may come over and do some clinics. We just need to get a gauge of how many people would be interested to have somebody come and teach some skills,” Pell said.

Rothko’s 1940s works on display Denver show sheds light on changing artist By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com His luminous Color Field paintings of the 1950s and 1960s have given Mark Rothko a pre-eminent place among contemporary American painters, but he was active in the 1940s, creating works that ranged from figurative to Jungian myth, surrealism, abstraction … Early images include stories from classical mythology and others inspired by European surrealists and cubists, which led to linear abstract forms, soft colored shapes and finally “Untitled” in 1950, with bands of color — his distinctive style for the remainder of his life. His son, Christopher Rothko, works with his sister Kate Rothko Prizel to advance their father’s legacy. He said: “The 1940s is the decade when everything happens for my father. He enters the decade and he comes out the other end the Rothko we know.” The Denver Art Museum has opened an exhibit called “Figure to Field: Mark Rothko in the 1940s,” running through Sept. 29, which has 28 works, primarily from the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Many have not been displayed in 20 years and illustrate Rothko’s journey as an artist.

if you go “Figure to Field: Mark Rothko in the 1940s” is in the Gallagher Family Gallery on the first floor of the Hamilton Building, Denver Art Museum, 12th Avenue between Broadway and Bannock Streets. It is included in general admission, free for members, and runs through Sept. 29. For hours and information: denverartmuseum.org, 720-913-0130.

Also included are 11 works by his contemporaries, including Robert Motherwell, Clyfford Still, Milton Avery, Adolph Gottleib, Arshile Gorky and Jackson Pollock. These artists exchanged ideas and influenced and supported each other. Paintings are hung chronologically with well-written wall text that discusses Rothko’s early years. Born in Russia, Rothko lived in New York in the 1940s, was acquainted with European artists who had escaped from World War II to America and became active with the group of artists who were known as Abstract Expressionists. A copy of the famous Life magazine photo of that group is included in this show. Representational images no longer worked to represent the war, although he is quoted as saying of the figurative paintings, “I think of my pictures as dramas, the shapes in the pictures are performers ….” “I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstacy, doom

and so on,” he is quoted in a New York Times story. By 1947, he eliminated all surrealistic elements and worked with pure form. The back portion of the Gallagher Gallery is devoted to early Color Field Paintings, with oil washes, egg-based paints, stains, some drips left as they happened. “If I must put my trust somewhere, it would be in the psyche of sensitive observers,” he said. His spiritual qualities are especially expressed in the Rothko Chapel in Houston, but all paintings held symbolic meaning for him. He met Clyfford Still, whose works are housed in the next-door Clyfford Still Museum, and they were close friends for 10 years. He introduced Still to collector/gallery owner Peggy Guggenheim, who gave Still a major show before he withdrew from the New York art world. Readers may have had the opportunity to see the excellent play “Red” at Curious Theatre last year, which conveyed the artist’s intensity as he worked on his famous series of red canvases. It portrayed a conflicted man, uncomfortable in his world. (He committed suicide in 1970.) This exhibit was organized by four museums, which each provided particular expertise and will each exhibit the Rothko works: Arkansas Art Center, Columbia, S.C., Art Museum, Columbus Art Museum and Denver Art Museum—in conjunction with the National Gallery of Art, which holds the world’s largest collection of Rothko’s work.

Chef John Broening, who gained fame for his two revered Denver restaurants, Denver Brasserie Rouge in The Ice House and at Duo in the Highland neighborhood, is returning to kitchen at Le Grand Bistro & Oyster Bar at 1512 Curtis St. See the full story at www.5280.com/blogs/2013/07/08/ breaking-john-broening-heads-le-grandoyster-bar-bistro. “We’re putting the Brasserie Rouge band back together,” restaurant owner Robert Thompson told Westword. Broening will join Le Grand Bistro & Oyster Bar as executive chef and also as culinary director of Seasoned Development, Thompson’s restaurant company. Thompson owns Le Grand, Punch Bowl Social and the Argyll Gastro Pub concept. He co-opened Brasserie Rouge with Leigh Jones in 2003. Broening, now chef and co-owner of Spuntino and formerly the executive chef of Duo and the late Olivéa, headed up the kitchen originally at Brasserie Rouge. Broening’s French cooking skills were not enough to prevent the restaurant closing a year later, though. Expect lighter fare at Le Grand, Broening says. He notes that Le Grand’s offerings will be more seasonal.

Retirement community goes Hollywood

When Elly and Jim Andersen moved to the Wind Crest retirement community five years ago, they didn’t move far from their former house in Cherry Hills, because they didn’t want to move away from family. The couple is proud of their family legacy — all their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren contribute so much to their lives. But one grandchild in particular is making a splash in the celebrity spotlight. And her work in Hollywood is attracting a new generation of fans and the Highlands Ranch community where she often visits. AnnaSophia Robb, the 19-year-old actress who has starred in major motion pictures like” Soul Surfer,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” “Bridge to Terabithia” and “Because of Winn-Dixie” now stars in “The Carrie Diaries.” The weekly television show on The CW is based on the popular HBO series “Sex and the City.” In it, Robb plays teenager Carrie Bradshaw in high school in 1984. The Andersens love seeing Robb work — they’ve been on set with her as far away as London — but they love it the most Parker continues on Page 26

Stage-struck detective is a winner Clever musical ‘Curtains’ plays at Arvada Center

IF YOU GO “Curtains” plays through July 28 at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; 1 p.m. Wednesdays; 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets: $53 to $73, arvadacenter.org/on-stage/curtains, 720-898-7200.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Curtains” is a light, clever musical, perfect fare for a summer evening at the Arvada Center. It was written by Rupert Holmes, with music and lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb, who wrote “Cabaret” and “Chicago” — not quite the depth of either, but entertaining. As always at this Equity theater, the cast is skilled and production values of set, lighting, sound, costumes are well above average. Set in Boston’s Colonial Theater in 1957, the musical opened in Los Angeles first and then moved to Broadway with David Hyde Pierce in the lead. He won a Tony for his role as the stagestruck cop. Gavin Mayer directs this spoofy piece about murder backstage, play within a play, somewhat convoluted storyline. Lights go up on the opening night production of “Robbin’ Hood,” a Western version of the ancient story. Just as the curtain falls, the off-key leading lady keels over. Cast and crew are glad to be rid of her, but what next? Lt. Frank Cioffi (Jim Poulos) appears to

Georgia Hendricks (Lauren Shealy) and Aaron Fox (Jeffrey Roark) are two of the suspects in a Broadway murder mystery in “Curtains” at the Arvada Center. Courtesy photo say that Jessica Cranshaw has been murdered and he’s there to investigate. Turns out, he also has acted in community theater and has a weakness for musicals. So as the show progresses, he alternates between

solving the crime and subsequent murders and making quiet suggestions to improve the shaky “Robbin’ Hood.” And, of course, there’s a romance as he becomes smitten with understudy actress

Niki Harris — and really hopes she’s not the murderer. Colin Alexander almost overplays swishy director Christopher Belling, who decides to replace the late Cranshaw with Georgia Hendricks (Lauren Shealy), divorced from songwriter Aaron Fox (Jeffrey Roark). They manage to get together again, despite her fling with leading man Bobby Pepper … And then we have brassy producer Carmen Bernstein (the great Megan Van De Hay) whose adversarial relationship with sleazy husband Sidney (Mark Rubald) leads to his demise. Numerous other characters weave in and out, dancing as they go with Kitty Skillman Hillsabeck’s choreography. The initial murder is finally solved and there are two more during the evening, adding to the confusion. But never fear—all ends well. And despite the murders, it’s quite a delightful concoction. And guess who show up in the finale?

Athena Project winner back on stage Contest was held for women playwrights By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The audience is almost in Martha and Leroy Patterson’s run-down front room as the elderly black couple talk about the day. Should they attend the 40th anniversary of the Detroit Riot? (Their son Daniel lost his life in it.) Martha hums happily as she tries on a new hat and a grumpy Leroy says he’s not up to going. His humorous yet sarcastic worldview contrasts to her upbeat devout approach as they converse. She hopes to make it to 100, while he’s is slowing down. Initial symptoms of dementia appear as he sees his dead son. Sad to watch. “Tell Martha Not to Moan” director Melissa McCarl has worked out blocking issues and general interaction well on a limited

Tickets: $20/$18, www. athenaprojectfestival.org, 303-739-1970. stage space. Pacing is a bit slow, although these folks are admittedly elderly. “Tell Martha Not to Moan,” by Clinnesha D. Sibley, was the winner in the Athena Project’s contest for women playwrights earlier in 2013, and was so popular when first presented that it is brought back through July 21. Sibley, an award-winning assistant professor of drama at the University of Arkansas, has written several published plays. Her picture of a longstanding, loving relationship is beautifully written, with Martha performed by Adrienne Martin-Fullwood and Leroy by Russell Costen — both experienced actors, who carry on a pointcounterpoint conversation about memories.

Other cast members: Kathi Wood, who plays Cassie, the girlfriend of their late son and the couple’s caregiver; Don Randle as policeman Tommy, who is in love with Cassie (but they don’t want the Pattersons to know); and Martell Harding, who plays the dead son and a detective. As Leroy becomes distressed by teens making noise on the street, they talk about how the neighborhood has changed and not many others are left. Leroy doesn’t want to change anything, including the curtains that he and Danny put up. He gets out a gun and discharges it — Cassie and Tommy are on the scene and a detective arrives to suggest that Leroy be sent to an institution. The production runs is reaching the end of its run and offers a different take on today’s world.

when their granddaughter visits them on the Highlands Ranch campus and spends quality time. As for Robb, well, she’s a huge fan of Wind Crest. Robb grew up in Colorado not far from where her grandparents lived and was in high school when her grandparents moved to Wind Crest. “My grandpa would pick me up from school two times a week, and I’d hang out with them before I went to kickboxing,” she says. She appreciates the pool, the hot tub, going to dinners and brunches on campus, and she wishes they sold the cookies in the marketplace store 24/7. She laughs, “I’d get home from school and miss them,” referring to both the cookies and her grandparents. But the thing Robb says she appreciates most about Wind Crest is how both her grandparents thrive on campus. ”It’s just really convenient. They can go to the gym, join clubs, and my grandpa can work on his trains. They have everything they need and want at their fingertips,” Robb says. The model railroad club is one of the most appealing things about Wind Crest to Jim; his outdoor train set is a memory that warms his granddaughter’s heart, and she’s glad he can continue to do what he is so passionate about. Passionate living runs in the family. While raising her family and helping with her grandchildren, Elly’s lifework has been to give of herself and her time to those she loves. She’s even kept a treasure chest of all the clippings she can find about Robb for the last 10 years, since she began acting in Because of Winn-Dixie. Elly recalls a fond memory from the set. Cicely Tyson had forgotten a line, and Robb whispered to the actress, “It’s OK, my grandma forgets things, too.” Elly laughs at what she calls a “sort of backhanded compliment.” “It’s neat to look back and see how little she was,” Elly says of her granddaughter. The whole family knew she would be an actress when she was just 2 years old. She was, according to the Andersens, born for the spotlight and with “the prettiest little face.” Even though their granddaughter lives in New York while working on the show, the Andersens know it won’t be long before they see her again.

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com Two young south area actresses will be onstage when the muchloved musical “Fiddler on the Roof” opens July 18 at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts in the Phamaly Theatre Company’s annual musical production. The unique company, started a number of years ago by a group of actors with disabilities, produces an annual musical and in recent years a straight play and some original work as well. Emerson “Emma” Stark, age 7, who lives in Highlands Ranch, will play Tevye’s youngest daughter Bielke, and 18-year-old pro Kenzie Kilroy, of Littleton, will be the bookish middle daughter Hodel. The musical, by Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick and Joseph Stein, is based on Sholem Aleichem’s stories of Russia and tells of milkman Tevye’s ongoing effort to keep cultural traditions in his family’s lives. It has played all over the world for 50 years. Emma, the granddaughter of longtime Phamaly choreographer Debbie Stark, says she especially enjoys hanging out with her grandma during rehearsals. Rehearsals, every night, are “really long,” but she snoozes in the car on the way there. “Everyone is really nice” in the “Fiddler” production, she adds. She recently performed as a space kid in the

The July 28 performance will be audio-described and ASLsigned. An 11 a.m. backstage sensory tour is offered free, although reservations are required. 303-575-0005. Magic Moments benefit show, also choreographed by Stark. She reports with delight that ghostly Frumah Sarah flies in her wheelchair in Fiddler. Phamaly actors are recognized for their stage skills — and for the fact that they put on a fine show with a variety of disabilities. Emma has type 1 diabetes and says she has to test more often when she’s involved in this intense activity. She will be in second grade at Copper Mesa Elementary School in the fall and studies dance at Debbie Stark’s Kaleidoscope dance studio. She has two older siblings — one of whom has performed at the Arvada Center. Other summer fun includes a lot of swimming, Emma said. Kilroy graduated early from Columbine High School last year and is moving to Los Angeles when “Fiddler” is over. In the past year, she has understudied three parts in the Arvada Center’s “Dividing the Estate,” performed in Ben Dicke’s “Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson” at the Aurora Fox and in “Hair” with the Evergreen Players. She has an

agent and hopes to get into film work. Kilkroy learned about the Phamaly company from Robert Michael Sanders at Arvada and her voice teacher, Traci Kern. She was aware of the company, but thought one had to have a physical disability. Her problems are dyslexia and ADD, and cognitive and emotional problems are included, she learned. “It’s not only for persons in wheelchairs.” She auditioned for Hodel in the spring. “It’s been my dream part since I was 10. I auditioned for it while in school but got a chorus part instead. … I came from a play, but am interested in musical theater. “You get acquainted in three days,” she said of her experience with fellow cast members. “And they’re fun to hang out with.” At the first rehearsal, she wondered what the choreography would look like, given the need to adapt to blindness, deafness, cerebral palsy, wheelchairs and other issues. “Some errors happen in rehearsal, but they get worked out.” To learn her lines, she records herself reading. “I need to figure out how to say things … memorize without switching words. I need to hear the voice.” In this play, she knew the story really well. Her family helps her. She says she taught herself to sing, but now studies voice with Traci Kearn, to become more professional. She dances, but has reservations about her abilities. “That’s why I’m going to LA instead of New York. In New York, you have to dance.”

Drivers have bond with track family Bandimeres inspire loyalty among drag-race crowd

34th annual mopar mile high nationals What: Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle drag racing When: July 19-21 Where: Bandimere Speedway, 3051 S. Rooney Road, Morrison (off Morrison Road and C-470) Tickets and information: bandimere.com

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Ask most drivers competing in the Mopar Mile High Nationals about coming to Bandimere Speedway, and the comments start with changes that have to be made to the cars because of the elevation. However, most of the remarks eventually mention the Bandimere family, which has owned the track for 55 years. “For starters, we just love the Bandimere family,” said Pro Stock driver Jeg Coughlin, who has formed a two-car team with Allen Johnson and Mopar this season. “First and foremost, the Bandimere family has owned and operated the facility for over 50 years and they have always done a fantastic job, not only for the racers but fans. “The facility is first rate and the only facility on the tour that has a radiant cooling system integrated with the starting line system to keep the temperatures down on the starting line at the surface. That was a big investment the Bandimeres made. When we are here in July and it is 100 degrees and the track gets to 150 degrees, now they are able to moderate that.” Coughlin admits that Bandimere’s beauty offsets the work on changes to the car that have to be

This year’s Mile HIgh Nationals will be held at the track in Morrison starting on July 19.

Everything else we manipulate. The mountain here in unbeliev-

able. Just looking around, you do a 360 on your feet. I’d be lying to say we don’t sneak out once every winter to visit Vail. We really enjoy the area.” John Force, a 15-time Funny Car champion, has been a regular at the Mile High Nationals. “First time I came over that

mountain it was snowing,” said Force. “I knew without a race I wouldn’t have any money to pay the hotel rooms. Now that’s changed. I remember being there with my dad, he’s passed now, and John Bandimere, he was a kid like me. His and my dad sat on the hill and talked about their two crazy

kids, one trying to run a racetrack, one trying to drive a race car. Neither one of us had a clue. I would look at my daughters, playing on the side of the hill in the dirt, running around there, playing at the racetrack. “There were bad times when I crashed, there are good times when I won. I love going back. It’s a beautiful facility. The fans open their arms to us. The media is great. It’s really a tough deal on that mountain. There was one year there I ran top speed, I was faster than the dragsters. That doesn’t happen very often. For a few moments we were up there with our big brother. It was a great feeling. A lot of those dragster guys were telling me that was pretty cool. Never done it since, but we keep trying. “ Pietro Gorlier, president and CEO of Mopar, lauded the Chrysler Group’s long relationship with Bandimere Speedway. “We are very proud of our longstanding relationship with the Bandimere family, their wonderful facility and the passionate fans Bond continues on Page 29

Speedway firmly rooted in Colorado soil Family business in 55th year of drag racing By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com John Bandimere Sr. built the Safety Proving Grounds of America in 1958 after he purchased 180 acres of land for $13,500. His plan was to provide a place for young men and women to drag-race and learn about automobiles. John Bandimere Sr. passed away in 1986, but his proving grounds, now named Bandimere Speedway, located along the Hogback near Morrison, is celebrating its 55th year of drag racing and will host its biggest event of the season, the Mopar Mile High Nationals, July 19-21. “I’m a Wheat Ridge kid,” said John Bandimere Jr. “I’m a Wheat Ridge Farmer. I graduated from high school in 1956. I raced on the street and so did a lot of kids. My dad wanted a place for us to be away from all the dangers. “I first came out after Dad bought the property and was moving dirt. Rooney Road was a dirt road. Actually Alameda wasn’t totally paved. The way you came in was off Colfax.” Bandimere Jr. took an active role in the track operations in the mid-1970s and tried to find a national event to host because the track was not making money. In 1977 the track, nicknamed Thunder Mountain, hosted the NHRA Sports Nationals and the next year the NHRA Mile High Nationals was the first race with professional categories to compete at Bandimere. “In 1987 the president of the NHRA at that time, Dallas Gardner, came to me after the event and said, ‘You need to do something because we can’t come back here,’” recalled Bandimere. “The reason was, we were putting 100 matches in a matchbox that maybe held 50. That sort of thing. “I said to Dallas, ‘I have one question. If

we spend the money and we bring this facility up to stature, will you give us a sabbatical where we could have a year off and then come back?’ He said, ‘Absolutely.’” Bandimere Speedway overcame financial difficulties and underwent a $4.2 million renovation in 1988. “Highway 470 started being built in September 1987,” said Bandimere. “So what happened, we needed to move a lot of dirt. We were on the side of a mountain and needed to flatten things out. I went to the (Jefferson) County and in those days got a permit for $15. They asked me what we were going to do and I said we had to move a little bit of dirt. They didn’t ask me how much. They wanted their $15. “They were building the highway and we were moving all this dirt. We moved almost 4 million yards of dirt. While we were moving all the dirt, the public thought the highway was being built.” The track renovation, however, was redflagged. “The day came when they were ready to dedicate the bridge on Morrison Road,” continued Bandimere. “They were all there with dignitaries and I’ve got tractors going up and down the hill. They came over that day and red-tagged it. I said we were moving some dirt and rebuilding our facility. I thought that was probably going to be the end of the rebuilding. “The county realized this was a needed thing and went along with us, took the red flags off and we had to meet a few rules. The track is in the exact same place. What we changed was all the parking, the pit area, building of the tower and the Eliminator Club.” After the track facelift, Mopar came on as the sponsor of the Mile High Nationals. “They have been our sponsor of this event from that day until now,” Bandimere said of the 25-year partnership with parts, service and customer care branches within Chyrsler Group LLC. “It’s been among the longest-running sponsorships in racing

that attend the Mopar Mile High NHRA Nationals every year,” said Gorlier. “Since 1989, this historic track has become our home away from home because of a common passion for this family-oriented sport, grassroots racing and commitment to sportsmen. Through thick and thin over the past 25 years, the Bandimere family, their track and this annual national NHRA event have become an integral and valued part of our Mopar racing tradition.” Gary Scelzi, nicknamed the Wild Thing, drove for 12 years on the NHRA circuit and will be this year’s grand marshal. He retired at the conclusion of the 2008 season driving a Mopar Hemi-powered Funny Car. He earned one win at Bandimere in 2006. “I’m humbled and excited to be asked rack,by Mopar to serve as grand marshal and be Nei-part of such an amazing event once again,” ouldsaid Scelzi. “There are only a few NHRA nag ontionals that have prestige and meaning and run-where winning really means something t theextra special.

They think of everything and make you really feel like you are part their family and their home. My history at Bandimere was actually quite horrible. I don’t think I made it out of the first round much, but I just loved coming here regardless. It was a huge challenge on track but it was always about family and fun and was always an event, a party everyone looked forward to. When I did finally win with Mopar in 2006, it just had so much meaning, and to be invited back to celebrate their 25 years with the Bandimere family is really exciting.”

hind the staging beams to 120 feet after it. The system reduces the track temperature between 15-20 degrees. A trans-lux scoreboard was installed in 2009 and a timing system with fiber optic lines has also been added to the track. “This is one of the only tracks that has a downhill for staging and an uphill to shutoff,” pointed out Bandimere. “That’s what my dad really, really wanted. There are a lot of tracks around the country that you have to go uphill to get to the staging. You have to start and stop and many times they get up there ready to make a run and their battery is dead because these cars don’t run generators. ” Bandimere, 75, admits he almost sold the track several years ago, when he considered joining a group that was pondering building a NASCAR track with a drag strip in Aurora. Several factors were involved in rejecting that project. More than 125 events a season, including the Mile High Nationals, are held at Bandimere Speedway each season to help keep the track profitable. Bandimere says 2008 set a standard for the track. “That particular year was the best year the facility has had,” he said. “Everything,

the weather and events, worked out really good that year. We’ve never been able to hit that same standard. We always kind of look at things and say, `How does it compare to 2008?’ “There are not many facilities in the country like this that make any money. The reason they don’t in most cases is that they are not willing to pay the price. We develop relationships. God has blessed us. We are not at 2008 this year, but we’re way ahead of last year. We’re happy with that.” Bandimere has future plans for the track his dad built. “I have no interest in leaving at this point,” he said. “We have a lot of things on our plate but what we really want to do is get water and sewer onto the property. For 55 years we’ve run this facility with porta-pots, and actually, with this type of race, even if we had water we would use a lot of port-a-lets. The reason is because it is so spread out. “I want to make changes. I want to build some new buildings. I want to build better concessions, hopefully by next year.” Two sessions of professional preliminaries of this year’s Mile High Nationals, set for 5:15 and 7:15 p.m., will be held July 19. Two more qualifying runs will be held at 1:45 and 4:45 p.m. July 20, with the final eliminations set to begin at 11 a.m. Sunday July 21. Defending Mile High pro winners are Antron Brown (Top Fuel), Jack Beckman (Funny Car), Allen Johnson (Pro Stock) and Eddie Krawiec (Pro Stock Motorcycle).

Old latex paint? Don’t flip out! Dry it out! Have you been stockpiling cans of latex paint, waiting for the next Douglas County Household Chemical Roundup? Good news – latex paint is water-based and safe to throw away, if prepared properly. If the paint is completely dry, simply remove the lid and throw the can away. If there is still wet paint in the can, mix in some dirt or cat litter to fully absorb it. Once it is dry, throw it away. Save yourself a trip to the Roundup (and the $25 contribution) if you have water-based paint. Remember, this only applies to water-based latex paint, and NO paint can be dumped in the gutter or thrown in the trash wet.

REAL ESTATE CAREERS MARKETPLACE SERVICE DIRECTORY

REAL ESTATE AGENT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK How long have you worked in Real Estate? What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not workMidge du Bray I have worked in real estate over 12 years in various ca- ing? Broker Associate

pacities, but licensed in Colorado since 2004.

Cherry Creek Properties, LLC 5655 S. Yosemite Street, Ste. 109 Greenwood Village, CO 80111 C) 720-933-0500 midgedubray2@gmail.com www.DouglasCountyHomeSearch.com Where were you born? Redwood City, California How long have you lived in the area? Since 1997 What do you like most about it? I like the Denver metro area for its city life, suburbs, schools, open space, walking & biking trails, and great infrastructure. I like living close to downtown and to mountain communities. I appreciate Denver’s blue sky, four-season climate and active lifestyle. Denver offers a great quality of life.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? I specialize in listing and selling real estate all over the south Denver metro area. My clients appreciate my knowledge and expertise, work ethic, commitment to helping them achieve their real estate goals, and professionalism. What is the most challenging part of what you do? Balancing work and family life is the most challenging part of my job.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I have two daughters (one in college, one in high school) that keep me busy. I spend lots of time being a spectator at my younger daughter’s volleyball games. I love to exercise every day, belong to a great gym but also enjoy biking and walking outdoors. I also enjoy visiting various mountain communities several times a year with my family. What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? You only get one chance to make a good first impression, so get your home ready to sell before it goes on the market. Price the home correctly. I like helping my clients with those decisions, and take pride that my listings look great when they hit the market. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? rep Before looking at homes, get prequalified by a reputable lender. Put some thought into what features you want in a home and where you would like to live. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? The most unusual encounter I’ve ever had was with a guest at an Open house that I hosted. He took it upon himself to “forage” through the kitchen cabinets and closets looking for prescrip prescription medication. It was very unsettling to have that occur during an Open House, and to have to explain it to my Sellers.

Job hunting for the over 50 T hough the job market has improved in recent years, many men and women are still out of work. Perhaps most troubling, many of those people are age 55 and older who are fearful of an uncertain future where they are seemingly overlooked. According to a 2012 study from the Government Accountability Office, the number of long-term unemployed people age 55 and older has more than doubled since the onset of the recession. For many unemployed over the age of 50, the harsh reality of a job market that does not value their experience or skill set is deeply disconcerting. But as difficult as the job market can be for older men and women, it’s not impossible to find a job, though it might take some ingenuity and perseverance. Don’t limit yourself. Those who were victimized by layoffs should expand their job searches to more than just their previous fields. While it’s definitely a good idea to maintain contacts in your old field and routinely look for openings in that field, it’s also a good idea to examine your skill set and experience and find a new field where these things apply. Chances are your years of experience are transferable to many fields, and redirecting your job hunting efforts to a new line of work might yield opportunities you are not even aware existed. Embrace the 21st century. Many companies or organizations mistakenly assume that the digital age has passed older workers by. Workers in their 50s might be unfairly categorized as dinosaurs with no grasp of mobile technology or the latest software programs. But those applicants who can demonstrate their proficien-

cy in the latest technologies, including mobile technologies like smartphones, tablets and social media, can put themselves above fellow applicants. Start working. If you are mired in long-term unemployment and spend every day at home, get out and start working. Volunteering is a great way to lift your spirits, network with other professionals and maybe even learn of employment opportunities you won’t hear about on the couch at home. And volunteering, be it with a charity or a professional organization, is a great way to revive your resume and continue to add accomplishments despite your unemployment. Emphasize your age. Many unemployed men and women over 50 tend to look at their age as a hindrance that is preventing them from finding gainful employment. But your age can be an advantage, as many organizations find older applicants are more reliable and need less time to adapt than younger applicants with less experience. When emphasizing your age as a positive, don’t focus on job titles, which many other unemployed men and women your age likely highlight on their resumes. Instead, focus on specific achievements and accomplishments and reduce the emphasis you place on job tasks. Achievements tend to stand out above titles, and men and women over 50 likely have achieved more than younger, less experienced applicants. Think small. Smaller companies wherein employees tend to wear many hats are more likely to value experience than a larger company. By the age of 50, many professionals have vast experi-

CARRIERS WANTED NORTH AND SOUTH METRO ROUTES AVAILABLE

ence in a host of different positions, and that versatility is likely to appeal to a small company looking for employees who can multitask. Finding a job after the age of 50 isn’t easy. But taking a broad approach and emphasizing as opposed to downplaying your experience might help you stand out among a crowded pool of applicants. ■ Metro Creative Services
