Costs rising for park Construction, unstable soil driving up total bill

By Virginia Grantier

Goodness gracious, “Great Balls of Fire.” This man — shown performing on July 21 — has the hottest job at the Colorado Renaissance Festival, performing four times a day, to the delight of the much cooler spectators gathered at the festival grounds.

“Vegetable Justice” gets served every weekend at the Colorado Renaissance Festival as this man hangs in the pillory, making fun of all those who paid to take a chance at drilling him with a tomato.

Photos by Ryan boldRey A Centennial State tradition, the Colorado Renaissance Festival has just two Saturdays and two Sundays left this summer. So before it passes you by, head on down to Larkspur and kneel to the King and Queen, take an elephant ride, watch some fire-breathing entertainment and enjoy a late-afternoon joust while enjoying a turkey leg and cold beverage. The festival, which brings the medieval out in many, features fine art, fare of the times, rides for the kids and more. For more information, visit www.coloradorenaissance.com.

Castle Rock’s biggest park-construction project ever, a 237-acre plot that includes amenities expected to be a regional draw — such things as a 50,000-square-foot fieldhouse, a pool, miles of hiking, outdoor amphitheater for 2,000 people, a pond and a building for weddings and meetings — is on schedule since its June groundbreaking, officials say.

About 40 acres have been scraped and shaped, water and sewer lines soon will go in — all in all, about 220,000 cubic yards of dirt have been moved, project superintendent Brian Peterson said July 18. But there are other things to be moved.

Moving around some money was the issue being talked about at the July 16 Castle Rock City Council meeting.

Unexpected costs because of unstable soil issues and rising construction costs may end up adding about $4.4 million to the Philip S. Miller Park’s $20 million Phase 1, town parks director Rob Hanna told the council.

It’s possible that bids for the final portion of the park’s Phase 1 could come in lower, causing a smaller increase, but town staff said they wanted direction from the town council on whether to proceed as planned, in light of the additional costs.

The council’s consensus, after hearing recommendations from the town manager, the parks commission and business leaders to proceed, is to proceed with getting bids, seeing what the numbers are and then making decisions about which reserve funds to take the money from, if need be.

Town Manager Mark Stevens said the increase in the cost estimates “is significant, there’s no denying that.”

Stevens said the town, with its healthy reserve funds and other options, can easily handle the extra cost. “We’re in the position to do that.” And if the full cost of the project had been known during the initial Park continues on Page 27

Dinner offers view from on high Historic ranch is site for land conservancy’s annual fundraiser

By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews. com There’s a mesa, a mountain east of Interstate 25 called Hunt Mountain, and it’s the site of the historic still-operating JA cattle ranch — the site where you’ll have

an outside dinner near a cliff’s edge. If you buy a ticket.

The Douglas County Land Conservancy, which to date has protected 21,838 acres of land from being developed in perpetuity and is now eyeing land along the Highway 83 corridor south of Franktown to help create a buffer from Colorado Springs, will hold a fundraising dinner Aug 24.

The event will be held at one of the places the land conservancy and the ranch owner have saved for all time.

The 6,200-acre JA Ranch northeast of Larkspur is still in the same family’s hands since it was established in the 1800s, and still running cattle. And the ranch, which has large expanses of wildlife habitat, scenic views and working agricultural land, will always be preserved because of its conservation easement with the Douglas County Land Conservancy.

No far-off land for these missionaries Fr 10:45 a.m.

Bob, 65, sits on a low shady wall in the small quiet park sandwiched between the state Capitol and Civic Center in Denver.

Headphones in one ear, he is listening to Rush Limbaugh, his belongings packed tightly into the bulging backpacks on either side of him. Along with a few other men perched farther down the wall or lounging under leafy trees, he is waiting.

11:10.

The park is suddenly busy. Within minutes, a cluster of young men and women have set up white tents and tables upon which a buffet of food begins to appear.

11:45.

A line has started to form as trays of chicken shish kebab are brought to the tables, now laden with bowls and trays of watermelon and fruits, potato and green bean salads, chocolate chip cookies, water, lemonade and other flavored drinks.

“They give a good meal,” says Bob, eyes crinkling under a blue winter cap, the muffs pinned above his ears, three binder clips snapped on the brim. A sparse, black beard and mustache streaked with thick gray whiskers frame his tanned face.

The food is good. But the conversation is better.

“They’ll talk to you,” Bob says. “It’s pretty neat.”

•••

They are young Catholic missionaries, who since Thanksgiving 2011 have turned the second Saturday of the month into Lunch in the Park for the homeless in downtown Denver. With help and donations from church volunteers around the metro area, they bring home-cooked meals to Lincoln Park, in the heat of summer and the cold of winter.

But the real gift they bring is one many take for granted — someone to talk to, someone to listen, a human connection.

“This lunch is wonderful,” Bill, 60, says in a soft voice as he sits on the grass, eating. “But that doesn’t even touch what they’ve done for me. ... I got a lot of my

dignity back from them.”

The missionaries of Christ in the City, a Catholic service organization that asks young people between 18 and 29 to dedicate one semester to a year working with the poor and other marginalized segments of society, come from throughout the country. They hope to grow spiritually while ministering — mind, body and spirit — to those in need.

They find connections to resources and mental health support, if needed. They provide food, sleeping bags, clothes. They talk about God, if asked.

But more than anything, they offer friendship.

Under a blue tent just across from the buffet, Kati Belsole places a statue of the Virgin Mary on a card table in preparation for the recitation of the rosary, which takes place before food is served.

She is 23, from New York, with a degree in theology, and she talks passionately about her desire to share God’s mercy with the poor and homeless.

But “part of our ministry is just that conversation element, showing people they have dignity and they’re worth it,” she says. “They’re worth it just because of the fact they’re a person.”

She arranges a vase of red and white fabric roses next to the statue, along with a large crucifix and wooden rosaries she’ll hand to those in the park who want them.

“We really want to know the person, their joys and their struggles,” Belsole says.

“It’s a relational thing. We really try to remember people’s names and their stories.”

Bill will tell you his story is one of redemption.

The missionaries found him on the 16th Street Mall nine months ago. He was drinking every day.

“They would stop and talk to me.” A slight man, he wears wire-rim glasses and a cap. “Without fail, if I was there, I would see them.”

He pauses, takes a bite from his plate.

“Well, I’ve had people make a little effort, but I’ve never had anyone come every day that I could count on.”

Recently, Bill says, a car hit him as he was crossing a street. The collision put him in the hospital for three weeks. “They would come see me every day, pray for me. When I started getting better, they still came by.”

Raised in the Catholic faith, Bill began talking about God. “They helped me get my life back spiritually, even physically.” He has not had a drink, he says, in five months. He is living at Samaritan House shelter, working toward a job and his own place. Early next month, he will see his sister from Indiana for the first time in 1½ years.

“They’ll just take you on a human basis,” Bill says. “People who have been in the position I was in, we just don’t have many people who we can talk to on a normal level, whatever that might be. And they gave me confidence to talk to other people I normally wouldn’t have talked to.”

He is quiet. “I don’t know how to put into words how thankful I am.”

Friends start Sedalia farmers market Program is about more than just fresh produce

By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com Four longtime friends from Sedalia decided this year to start something they’ve never seen in their town before, a farmers market. But more than just a market — they’re selling education, too.

“The idea is to expose people to learning how to grow their own food, different methods of growing food,” said Johanna Santucci, 69, treasurer of the new Sedalia Community Market.

The market, which kicked off in June, is held at the Sedalia post office parking lot from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays so that it wouldn’t compete with Saturday’s Castle Rock farmers market. It has the usual fresh garden produce, as well as such things as “shares of goats,” offered by the market’s vice president, Deanna Meye. She has a herd of about 20 goats and sells shares for $50 a month, which gives buyers a regular supply of fresh goat milk.

But in addition, the market offers workshops on such things as an old German gardening technique that’s great for regions with water issues. To retain water longer, it involves digging a hole, filling with wood, then hay, wetting it down and putting dirt on

Deanna Meyer of Sedalia is one of four longtime friends in the town who have started a farmers market in the Sedalia post office parking lot. It is held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays, and offers more than the typical farmers market. Photo by Virginia Grantier top of that and then planting.

Meyer plans to pass out information on an upcoming workshop that will be held on her family’s 400-

acre property. Participants will hike through the property and learn about various native plants’ medicinal and nutritional properties.

Meyer said that some of the weeds people routinely pull out of their vegetable gardens, such as lamb’s quarter, shepherd’s purse and amaranth, are tastier and more nutritious than the lettuce they leave behind. And if someone is sick and needs a dose of Vitamin C, pinch off some needles, particularly new-growth needles, from a Douglas fir or any other pine tree.

“It’s an incredibly dense (dose) of Vitamin C,” Meyer said. “And the flavor is very citrusy,” she said.

In addition to Santucci and Meyer, the other two women starting the market are Carrie Thompson, president, and Regina Precosto, secretary.

“It’s all about community,” said Precosto, 53, who has lived in Sedalia for 20 years. “I wanted to help start this market because I believe in bartering, trading and, where necessary, buying as much as possible within my community. I like knowing who and where my food and other products come from.”

Santucci said they also wanted to give an outlet to all those talented people in the area who make quilts, pottery and other things, but didn’t have any outlet to sell them.

A white male who said he was a truck driver and was stalking “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” whose tour bus was in a nearby hotel parking lot, ordered breakfast about 2:25 a.m.

July 6, according to a police report. But he allegedly later left without paying.

A restaurant employee told police the man said the restaurant might be his “new favorite Waffle House.” When he left about 15 minutes later, purportedly to get his wallet to pay for his meal, he never came back.

The man, who said his name was “Merrill,” was described as having very unique eyes that looked like they were “trying to bulge out of his head,” and had thick black hair and sideburns and was wearing a black shirt, black hat and blue jeans when he was last seen on Fifth Street heading toward Wilcox Street.

Police were unable to locate the suspect.

It seemed everyone was there for the July 17 ribbon-cutting andTH gala event at the new Castle Rock Adventist Hospital: number crunchers, CEOs, doctors, politicians, the public and the artists who have put things on its walls — including a relatively small person, when compared to the 48-foot-tall, 15,000-pound steel aspen trees he created for the lobby.

And there were the architects who put the hospital on the map — exactly where they thought it should be.

The builder wanted the hospital next to the road so the huge building loomed even larger, but designer Aurelio Posada and architect Chuck Cole, of Florida-based Hunton Brady Architects, had a different idea, upon visitBRING THIS COUPON FOR $1 ing the site.

“We wanted to capture the soul and spirit of the site,” Posada said. “We wanted to understand what the site was telling us.”

Cole said the building needed to be up on the ridgeline, farther east. He said that as he and Posada stood on THthat that site, they could “feel it,” that was where it was supposed to be.

But they still wanted all of the patients to have a good view of the mountains, so the hospital rooms aren’t the usual shape. He said they needed to be “cranked” to the west and so aren’t your typical rectangular rooms, more like parallelograms, he said.

At the ribbon-cutting, it’s not known what if anything the site was telling Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue, but he had some things to tell.

He related how when he first got on the council six years ago, the bottom was falling out of the economy and the council was trying to figure out how to keep the town in a good financial position. Along came a hospital.

If experience equals wisdom, Michelle Marie is wise beyond her years.

Her late teens and early 20s were a roller coaster ride marked by a bold, cross-country move away from her parents that “failed miserably,” a runway modeling career for Redken Fifth Avenue that ended in substance abuse, bulimia and a suicide attempt, and a rock-bottom moment in which she faced eviction, car repossession and life without a cell phone.

As she stands today, at the age of 27, one wouldn’t be able to pick up on the troubles that plagued her past. Marie appears easygoing, confident and full of life. And that’s largely because she has come out on the other side with a renewed attitude and a list of ambitions.

Having just moved to Parker five months ago with her boyfriend and dog, Marie found herself, again, in a strange place with no money and no nearby friends or family. But this time it was different. The move from Lake Geneva, Wis., was

Michelle Marie, who earned the Ms. Colorado State title in June, aspires to be the face of a nonprofit organization. The spokesmodel moved from Wisconsin to Parker five months ago. Photo by Chris Michlewicz meant as a fresh start, and so far, so good.

Since February, Marie has found a slew of sponsors, been crowned Ms. Colorado State, created a women’s networking group called FemCity Denver, and started a career as a public speaker. That was after a brief stint working for a roofing company. It’s difficult to tell which direction

she wants to go, but Marie sets the record straight when asked about her ultimate goal.

“I would love to brand myself to get in line with an international nonprofit and be the image associated with that nonprofit,” she says.

And that brand-development campaign has already begun. By putting her face

and name out in Denver, Marie hopes to regain the minor celebrity status she enjoyed in Lake Geneva, where she resurrected her career as a runway model and dabbled in numerous charitable efforts over the last five years.

Her dream to become a philanthropic international spokesmodel might come across as lofty, but with Marie, it doesn’t seem out of reach at all. She has degrees in marketing and is getting in some good practice by plugging her sponsors during Ms. Colorado State appearances.

She has taken her message of hope and self-worth to high school students. Marie has also spoken to elementary school kids, instilling in them the belief that “the smallest hands can make the largest impact.”

“I discovered I could make a difference with my voice,” says Marie, who cites Eva Peron and Angelina Jolie as her idols.

Although she is pulled in many directions — her next gig is a YouTube series that will have her interviewing Douglas County business owners — Marie says she does not want to look back on her life knowing that she didn’t strive to meet her own expectations.

“When I have a daughter one day, I want to tell her I went for it and struggled through it,” she said.

Roxborough woman seeks school post Parent points to volunteer history, passion for district

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Software saleswoman Barbra Chase Burke said she wants to help take politics out of the Douglas County School District board. The Roxborough parent, running as Barbra Chase, seeks the District B seat now held by term-limited board president John Carson.

“Let’s take the politics out of education,” said the mother of two DCSD students. “I’m running as unaffiliated on purpose. I think there’s a trend of people that are wanting the same: Let’s focus on our kids, and that’s it.”

Chase describes herself as a “passionate advocate of Douglas County Schools,” but one who also is concerned about the district.

“I’m concerned with the growing class size,” she said. “I am concerned with fewer instructional hours for high school (students). I am concerned about the number of private meetings held by the board. I want to put the public back in public schools.”

She has a particular interest in electives. “Because of my involvement with parent/teacher groups, the lack of funding and the cutting of specials

like gym, art and music across the district, I’m very passionate about specials and having a well-rounded education for everybody,” she said.

She has kind words for district officials de- Burke spite her concerns.

“I think we have really great people in our district and big hearts on the board,” she said. “Everybody’s shared value is the best education for our kids. We can all improve, but until I’m sitting there, I don’t think I have the right be critical.”

The Iowa native credits her success in life to a public school education.

She served as executive director of the Roxborough Elementary School Parent Teacher Involvement Committee that helped add another school building in the unincorporated area of northwest Douglas County. Roxborough Intermediate, serving third through sixth graders, opened in 2008, alleviating crowding at the original school building. That structure became Roxborough Primary, and serves preschool through second graders.

Chase also volunteers with the parent/teacher group at Ranch View Middle School.

She owned a now-closed company

called Organization in-a-box, which helped guide the operations of community-based organizations. In 2010, the company launched PTO in-a-box for parent teacher organizations.

Her husband Sean also has been heavily involved in the Roxborough schools and DCSD. The Burkes worked with other Roxborough residents to create One Roxborough, the bedroom community’s version of a town council.

As busy as her life is, Chase said she has time to serve on the board. “I think we all have time,” she said. “The question is priority. I will make time because it’s a priority not only for my kids, but because I love kids. I think I can help be responsible for their experiences and their memories and their preparedness for whatever lies in their future.”

Chase joins a growing slate of school board candidates. Stephen Boyd, a Republican from Larkspur, also has filed with the Colorado Secretary of State for the District D seat.

Other declared candidates include Ronda Scholting, Nick Land and incumbent Meghann Silverthorn in District G, and Kevin Leung in District D. Current board members Carrie Mendoza, serving District D, and Doug Benevento of District E, whose terms expire in November, have not yet declared their candidacy for the November election.

Colorado Chapter of the Campaign to Fix the Debt Heads to Washington, D.C. for National Fly-In “I am honored to travel alongside other Coloradoans and deliver our message directly to our leaders. We remain committed to letting Senators Bennet and Udall and their fellow leaders in D.C. know that rushed, stop-gap measures like sequestration are not the answer. Our nation needs a comprehensive deficit-reduction agreement, or ‘grand bargain,’ to create an environment conducive to stability and growth.

We believe this to be an urgent matter and the time for action is now.”

Those attending the fly-in will take part in a number of campaign-related events, including the aforementioned meetings with Members of Congress and a reception that will outline the

progress made in the campaign to date and the group’s vision moving forward.

The Campaign to Fix the Debt is a national nonpartisan coalition of business leaders, elected officials, community leaders, academics and individual citizens to bring concerned individuals together and call on lawmakers to address the ballooning national debt. Through grassroots organizing, earned media activities and high-profile outreach, the Campaign to Fix the Debt is urging lawmakers to set aside political differences to formulate practical solutions to our nation’s debt problems.

Chamber Women in Leadership Conference to Inspire Attendees

On Friday, September 20th, the South Metro Denver Women in Leadership (WIL) will be hosting its 5th Annual Women’s Leadership Conference themed “WIL to Prosper.” This exciting and enlightening event will take place at the Embassy Suites DTC, 10250 E. Costilla Ave, Centennial, between 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The day will include a nourishing breakfast, morning and afternoon breakout sessions, the Annual Women’s Leadership Awards Luncheon, networking and cocktails. The Conference is sponsored this year by Safeway-Denver Division, University of Colorado Hospital-Lone Tree Health Center, Schomp Automotive and Park Meadows Retail Resort.

During the Women’s Leadership Awards Luncheon, four outstanding women who have helped to shape Denver business will be honored. KWGN news & talk show anchor Natalie Tysdal will be the Keynote Speaker. With a degree in broadcasting, Natalie has been with KWGN since 2002 and anchored the Emmy-award winning News2 This Morning show prior to her current position.

According to her web site (www. natalietysdal.com), “There is no greater

compliment than to entrust a reporter with your story. It can be personal and sometimes difficult. I’ve learned about journalism from both sides of the camera as the subject of stories and the reporter. I choose my words very carefully and I treat every story with the respect it deserves.” It is that sincere yet no-nonsense and honest approach that has won the hearts of many and gained the trust of viewers.

To facilitate bringing together women of different backgrounds and discuss some of the leading challenges and issues women leaders are faced with everyday, the conference will have a total of nine breakout sessions featuring topics for both business and personal development. These sessions will offer a variety of seminars, workshops and roundtable and will have many opportunities for speakers, trainers and facilitators to showcase their expertise. Topics include “The Art of Saying ‘No’”, “Empowering Your Team”, and “How to Maximize Business Relationships.”

The day will end with a Networking Cocktail event in order to allow the attendees the opportunity to unwind and share their experiences among themselves. An array of great prizes will be given away during the event. University of Colorado Hospitals will have their “Life Saver” mammogram bus onsite at The Embassy Suites DTC. Bring along your insurance card for a complimentary mammogram between 3-5pm.

School board president accused of crashing meeting Carson says incident was result of misunderstanding

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Two Douglas County parents said they felt intimidated and threatened when school board president John Carson showed up unannounced at a private house party July 15. Carson said he was invited to the gathering of about 17 parents, held to discuss concerns about the current Douglas County School District board, school issues and the November board election.

The hosts said Carson was not.

“It was very intimidating and clearly so inappropriate,” homeowner Jody Lynam said. “Here we are getting together to learn about why all these teachers are leaving.

Well, here’s your answer. After what he did, I don’t have to hear anything else. He told me who I’m voting for.”

The original invitation, an Evite sent to about 40 DCSD parents, states the event is not open to board members. Carson, board members Meghann Silverthorn and Doug Benevento said they were invited not through an Evite, but an email that did not include the sentence

barring board members. Silverthorn and Benevento did not show up at the party.

“If that was a misunderstanding, I certainly apologize for that,” Carson said during the July 16 school board meeting. “I personally find it rather shocking that members of the elected board of education would be prohibited from attending those.”

Carson’s apology followed party co-host Denise Gonzales’ public statement about his unwelcome attendance, during which she accused the board of using bully tactics to try Carson to silence opposing voices.

Lynam, whose children will attend Saddle Ranch Elementary this year, said she didn’t recognize Carson’s face or name when he arrived at her Highlands Ranch home. Gonzales did, and asked Carson to leave.

Carson did so, saying he would alert the media about the meeting.

“It was a threat; that’s how I felt,” said Lynam, whose concerns about DCSD spring from the loss this academic year of 10 of the school’s 33 teachers. “I think they want to intimidate people from not talking

Littleton

“We don’t have any funding,” Gonzales said. “We have nothing.

This is our way of getting our side across.”

July 15 was the second time in recent months a board member has come to a private in-home meeting without a formal invitation from the homeowner.

In May, Silverthorn said a friend invited her to another such meeting. Though she was allowed to stay, the homeowner later said the board member’s presence made her and the other guests uncomfortable.

“I certainly am not going to go if I know board members are excluded,” Silverthorn said. “But I feel it’s incumbent upon me to get out there and get in touch with the community about what’s going on in the school district.”

The house meetings have become increasingly common in advance of November’s school board election. A group called Douglas County Parents, which describes itself as a cross-section of community members aiming to elect four new board members, includes a “House Parties” link on its website that allows people to schedule the events.

Carson’s term and that of three other board members expire in November. Carson is term limited and cannot seek re-election.

about it.

“If that’s an example of how the teachers are treated who work for them, that they feel they can treat parents in their homes that way, I can’t even imagine how teachers are being treated. No wonder they’re leaving.”

Recent district-released statistics show overall teacher turnover at 11.7 percent, slightly lower than last year.

Carson explained his comment about the alerting the media during the board meeting.

“I just question the genuineness of what’s being put out there to the public,” he said. “I (want) to make sure the public’s getting accurate information. If these are one-sided political meetings, so be it. But let’s be clear about what that is.”

Lynam and Gonzales said the private gatherings are among the few avenues community members have to share their concerns.

“Parents are starting to ask questions and wonder why; we’re telling them why,” Gonzales said, adding the information is factual. “But we have teachers that speak at these, and they won’t be open about their feelings if a board member’s there.”

The women also noted board supporters are paying for television ads, recorded phone messages and newspaper ads.

Phone survey on schools flawed, many say Leader of pro-board group says recorded call worked fine

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com A phone survey conducted by a group that supports the current Douglas County School District board outraged many who attempted to take it.

Dozens of people report that the automated survey would not register any response that expressed disagreement with the school board and the changes it’s made.

Additionally, the Douglas County Democrats said a statement made about them in the survey is false.

Randy Reed, who runs the Douglas County Education Alliance that conducted the survey, said he found no problems with the recorded call.

“The survey worked fine,” Reed wrote in an email.

The former mayor of Castle Rock summarized criticism of the survey’s mechanics as “the trumped-up outrage of this week

from the (teachers’) union.”

But DCSD parents Connie Ingram, Cristin Patterson and dozens of others who took the survey insist it was faulty.

The recorded message lists changes made under the current school board, including “pay-for-performance, expanded school choice and charter schools” and discontinuation of paying a portion of union officers’ salaries. It concludes by asking the caller to press “1” if they support the board’s reforms, “2” if they disagree, and “3” if Reed they’re not sure.

Ingram said the survey wouldn’t accept the “2” response.

“I pressed ‘2’ and nothing happened,” said Ingram, who received the call at her Highlands Ranch home July 16. “So I kept pressing ‘2,’ and it would go back to repeating the question. Finally, I hung up.”

“I believe it was deliberate the number ‘2’ answer is not accepted,” she said. “But I would be curious if they called back and I

pressed ‘1’, to see what happens.”

Patterson said both she and her husband had similar experiences.

“I pressed ‘2’ and there was a long, long, long pause; then it returns to the questions again,” she said. “It made us feel like ‘Yep, that’s about par for the course — the people conducting the survey don’t want anyone to disagree.”

Reed said the DCEA survey reached thousands of Douglas County residents, and data gathered from those calls includes an assortment of “1,” “2” and “3” responses.

“We will be happy to share those internal results when the ACLU and the AFL-CIO drop their various lawsuits with the district, and these liberal attack groups admit that test scores are up, the dropout rate is down and that they are really just trying to create a bogus boogeyman that distracts from the fact that every metric shows this school district is improving and moving forward,” Reed wrote in his email.

The recording also states that groups including the local Democratic Party “have outspokenly opposed the school board.”

Douglas County Democrats’ chairman

Mike Jones said that’s not true.

“As a party, we haven’t made any official statement on the school board,” he said.

“Since it’s a nonpartisan race, we would tend to stay neutral on it.”

Teachers’ union president Brenda Smith said concerns about the DCEA survey aren’t union-related.

“Obviously, this is the drum that they’re going to beat,” she said. “This is just a way they’re belittling the parent and community concerns that are out there. They would love to make this a union issue instead of what it really is — a community issue. This is a huge concern across the school district in general.”

The AFL-CIO is the umbrella organization for U.S. unions, including the Douglas County Federation teachers’ union.

The ACLU is among those who filed suit against the district in 2011 over its voucher program, in a fight that could go before the Supreme Court. The DCF filed suit against DCSD in February 2013, alleging unfair hiring practices and termination of a sickleave bank. The suit has not yet gone to court.

School citizens’ committee taking shape Plans calls for diverse group to give board input

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Two people who have often stood on opposite sides of Douglas County School District issues are together starting a citizens’ committee. The group will provide community input to the school board.

“The group will interact on a regular basis with the Board of Education, and one of

the functions of the group will be to perform a `checks and balance’ for operations of the DCSD,” according to a statement from Gary Colley and board member Meghann Silverthorn.

Though a formal name hasn’t been chosen, Colley said it likely will be the Douglas County School District Community Accountability Committee.

For nearly three years, Colley has asked the board for improved community communication, at times accusing them of showing disrespect to people with opposing viewpoints. In 2012, Colley wrote and

submitted a proposed public comment policy to the board that it did not consider.

In June, he proposed the formation of a community group.

“You don’t have a right to complain about anything if you’re not going to present a solution at the same time,” Colley said. “We are taking it upon ourselves to provide a solution they’ve been ignoring.

This is going to work, but it has to be given time to work.”

Silverthorn said she liked Colley’s idea and met with him for a brainstorming session.

“The concept of Gary Colley and I working together is sort of unusual,” Silverthorn said. “That alone will attract individuals who may not have otherwise chosen to participate.”

The two co-hosted an organizational meeting July 24.

“We look to bring together a diverse, non-partisan cross-section of the Douglas County community to include parents, teachers, students and non-parent community members,” the statement continues.

Silverthorn noted the group is not an official school committee.

“We as a board understand we don’t know everything about everything,” Silverthorn said. “We have some incredible community members with some incredible ideas. I would like to foster that discussion with the community.”

The group’s purpose isn’t to revisit the past, Silverthorn said, but to focus on the

‘It’s not about grinding axes or complaining about the way the past was done. It’s about moving forward. I want to keep it productive.’

Meghann Silverthorn, school board member future.

“It’s not about grinding axes or complaining about the way the past was done,” she said. “It’s about moving forward. I want to keep it productive.”

Silverthorn recently filed her intention to seek re-election to the board, but said her decision to work with Colley on the group isn’t politically motivated.

“I would argue if my motivation were my re-election — Gary has been an individual who’s disagreed with the board, so it’d be safest not for me to speak to him at all,” she said. “I would prefer to get out there and open those channels of communication.”

School board opposes Common Core Resolution says district’s standards exceed national expectations

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The Douglas County School Board unanimously adopted a resolution July 16 opposing the Common Core Standards in favor of the district’s own.

The Douglas County School District’s standards are “more rigorous, more demanding, more thorough, and reflect higher expectations and aspirations for our students than any national standard now in existence, including the Common Core Standards,” according to the resolution.

The Common Core Standards are a set of U.S. educational criteria introduced in 2010 to improve the quality of American education. Though they aim to step up academic expectations and bridge a growing global achievement gap, DCSD’s curriculum is designed to surpass those standards. Colorado and most other states adopted the national curriculum, but individual districts in the state are allowed to set their own.

“The Common Core Standards, while reasonable and appropriate for many school districts to emulate, are not reasonable or appropriate in Douglas County … and do not meet the expectations this district has for all of our students,” according to the resolution.

DCSD instead developed what it calls the Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum, which place a stronger emphasis on critical thinking and other skills, and makes changes to some teaching methods. School leaders previously have referred to the Common Core Standards as “the floor,” with the district’s standards rising above them.

The resolution formally states DCSD’s opposition to “a one-size-fits-all application of the Common Core Standard.”

“In Douglas County, our taxpayers, parents, teachers and students expect the very highest and rigorous standards — as embodied in our Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum — that will allow our students to learn today and lead tomorrow,” according to the resolution.

School board president John Carson introduced and read the resolution during the board meeting. It was adopted without comment from other board members.

Accused killer had multiple drug sources Records show more than 21,000 pills in five years

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com An Oct. 4 preliminary hearing has been set for a Centennial woman who is accused in the overdose death of one man and is allegedly linked to the deaths of three others.

Almeda Beth Sullivan appeared in Arapahoe County District Court on July 15, facing one count of first-degree murder with “extreme indifference” in the death of 21-yearold Carter Lee Higdon, who died of a drug overdose in her home on Oct. 1, 2011.

But the 50-year-old former teacher’s aide is also allegedly linked to the 2008 overdose deaths of Sierra Renee Cochran, 19; Lindsey Jo Saidy, 28; and Martynas “Tez” Simankas, 20.

Known to many, including the overdose victims, as “Ally,” Sullivan is accused of selling large quantities of prescription drugs to students, then mixing bizarre combinations that, according to one of Higdon’s Sullivan friends interviewed by investigators, would push people to the brink of what their bodies could physically handle and then would try

“to bring them back.”

Records obtained from Colorado’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program by investigators show Sullivan had multiple sources for obtaining excessive amounts of narcotics, totaling more than 21,000 pills from 2007-11.

It’s thought that Sullivan used the name of a co-worker to obtain drugs, obtained additional pills from one of her doctors for cash payments off the books, and filled prescriptions for her husband, Charles Sullivan, months after his death.

Records collected during a 2011 search of Sullivan’s home show she held an associate’s degree in respiratory care, and obtained a bachelor’s degree from Southern

Illinois University in health care administration.

Transcripts indicate she had specialized training in anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, respiratory care and respiratory pharmacology, as well as courses in advanced cardiac life support.

Investigators state that Sullivan forged a last will and testament, along with insurance forms, after her husband, Charles Sullivan, died in 201o. A separate case has been filed in connection with those allegations.

Sullivan was employed by the Cherry Creek School District from 2003 to 2005 as a bus driver and teacher’s aide.

She is being held without bond in the Arapahoe County jail.

Veteran cop facing serious drug charges Littleton police officer is in federal custody

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton Police Officer Jeffrey Allan Johnston, 46, is facing charges that could mean life in prison after being arrested by the FBI on drug charges July 19.

Cmdr. Trent Cooper said the 22-year LPD veteran was taken into custody at his home without incident.

“The alleged drug activity was confined to his personal life and there is no indication or belief that any criminal misconduct occurred in relation to his work with the Littleton Police Department,” said Cooper.

According to an FBI affidavit, on July 15, Johnston called a known drug dealer who has peddled his wares during parties at Johnston’s Parker home in the past.

Johnston asked if he could buy between 40 and 50 ecstasy pills. The FBI then conducted a “controlled delivery” of 37 pills and 6 grams of ecstasy powder, for which Johnston paid $1,300. Following the exchange, Johnston was taken into custody and his home was searched.

In the kitchen, agents found the fresh delivery and a Colt Officers Model .45-cali-

ber pistol loaded with seven rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber. They also found suspected cocaine, suspected steroids, hundreds of suspected prescription pills, additional firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, empty pill pouches, a drug test kit and a scale.

Johnston was taken to the Jefferson County Detention Center originally. He is now in federal custody, though FBI spokesperson Jeff Dorschner declined to specify where.

Johnston appeared in court to be advised of his rights and the charges on July 22. He faces one count of possession of ecstasy with intent to distribute, which carries a penalty of not more than 20 years in federal prison and a fine of not more than $1,000,000; one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, which carries a penalty of not more than 20 years in federal prison and a fine of not more than $500,000; one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime, which carries a penalty of not less than five years and not more than life in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000; and one count of using a telephone to facilitate a drug trafficking felony, which carries a penalty of not more than four years in federal prison and up to a $500,000 fine.

Johnston has been placed on unpaid

news in A hurry Council to discuss budget

A budget workshop for the Castle Rock Town Council is planned for 6 p.m. July 30 at Town Hall, 100 N. Wilcox St. The council is expected to review and discuss major financial planning, budget, priorities and policy issues in anticipation of heading into the 2014 budget hearings, according to a news release.

The proposed 2014 budget will make its first appearance on the Oct. 22 town council agenda.

The first public hearing on the topic will be at the Nov. 5 council meeting, and the second and final reading will be at the Dec. 3 council meeting.

The proposed budget will be posted online prior to the Oct. 22 council meeting at CRgov.com/2014budget.

Public invited to track-horn tryout

Instead of trying to quiet the trains in downtown Castle Rock, there is an alternative — installing a horn at the track that would sound when a train approaches.

The public is invited to join Castle Rock Town Council members and others at a demonstration of what is called a “wayside horn,” which will take place at 6 p.m. July 25 at the Second Street railroad crossing.

The horn, because it would be located at the crossing, would impact a smaller area, according to a news release. And it would be less expensive than another alternative the city has been exploring — installing gates at the Second and Third streets railroad crossings, which would cost about $1 million. The town expects to receive a current estimate from Union Pacific Railroad by the end of July and at that point will notify the public and schedule a meeting.

The idea of establishing a quiet zone downtown was raised in 2008 and 2009, but was deferred because of the recession.

Now, the project is being considered again.

The federal government allows communities to establish quiet zones, which

means train horns aren’t required if the risks are mitigated. Generally, that involves installing more secure gates, but the town is exploring other options — such as the wayside horn.

‘Mulan Jr.’ to be performed

Front Range Theatre Camp, a non-profit community theatre experience in Castle Rock, will perform a Disney classic, “Mulan Jr.,” at 7 p.m. July 26 and 27 at Castle View Middle School, 5245 N. Meadow Drive.

The musical is a journey back to the legendary, story-telling days of ancient China. The Huns have invaded, and it is up to a misfit, Mulan, and her mischievous sidekick, Mushu, to save the emperor. It’s a celebration of culture, honor and a fighting spirit and the score includes ths songs “Reflection,” “Honor to Us All” and “I’ll Make a Man Out of You.” Tickets are available at www.frontrangetheatre.org. Children under age 5 are free.

The public is invited to spend a few hours with Castle Rock police officers and firefighters and experience various demonstrations.

The event will run from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 6 at the town’s Festival Park near Second and Perry streets and will include a K-9 demonstration; tours of the police department; a car seat safety demonstration by firefighters; and the chance to examine police and fire vehicles.

“Community partnerships are vital to the work we do,” said Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley. “We’re excited to host this event, so we can help people understand our approach and so we can all find new ways we can work together.”

This event is part of a national event started by The National Association of Town Watch, a nonprofit organization dedicated to crime-prevention programs.

Program digging deeper into public policy An additional in-depth view on a tough question is always valuable.

That’s the result we are hoping for following the announcement last week of an economic measurement initiative backed by several regional entities and tasked to be conducted by the Business Research Division of the University of Colorado at Boulder’s Leeds School of Business. The school will run the program on behalf of main funding sponsors the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp., the Denver South Economic Development Partnership and the Common Sense Policy Roundtable.

Gov. John Hickenlooper has already given an initial nod to Initiative 22, the type of tax measure that usually needs a push from the sitting governor to have a shot.

The initiative asks voters to increase the state income tax rate from 4.63 to 5 percent for those making an income of $75,000 or

The running of the dummies “Three gored, 23 others injured in running of the bulls.” It’s simply not enough. I won’t be satisfied until tens upon tens are gored and injured.

It’s extremely entertaining. Or maybe it’s the adrenaline rush that makes it worth it to the runners and the spectators. I think it’s 19th-century.

“Tension soared when one of the animals charged a 31-year-old Spaniard and tossed him on the ground with his horns for almost 30 seconds as fellow runners tried to pull it away by its tail. The man clung to one of the horns as screams were heard all around.”

I like it. I like it very much.

Six bulls are let loose in the morning to run in the Pamplona encierro. Later in the day they are slaughtered in the bullring.

Runners, who just sang a benediction (“Macho Macho Man”) are prohibited from “inciting” the bulls.

What do you call it, what they do, if it’s not inciting? Let’s reverse things. Let six of these imbeciles loose and have hundreds of bulls chase them around. Now we’re talking.

There’s nothing bold, brave, heroic, courageous, dashing or daring about purposefully herding and chasing animals to their death.

I know it’s cultural (stupidity), like dogfighting and cockfighting. I know it’s traditional (stupidity). But isn’t it about time to look at these animals differently, perhaps with some respect?

Around the world, some unconscionable things are done to pit bulls, eagles, foxes, condors, seals, whales, porpoises, and dolphins.

“Every year,” a petition website says, “in Denmark, specifically the Faroe Islands, innocent and helpless Calderon dolphins are slaughtered brutally by the Danes. Why you may ask? Simply because. A pointless and stupid right of passage to manhood” (“Macho Macho Man”).

Slaughtering a dolphin to prove that you are a man is a right of passage to ignorance.

ment Corporation, is among those who welcomes the added analysis. He said that while the state does well breaking out the expenditures behind major policy changes, the full fiscal impacts are not as clear. In addition to producing more complete analysis, he said the econometric model will be neutral, not colored by political frameworks.

We have been reminded that the econometric model is a tool, but at first look it appears to be a very good one. Our hope is that this new analysis offers a valuable breakout that covers key factors quickly and clearly in a way that cuts to the core of issues more quickly. Further we hope to see the process have an impact in the vetting process for public policy in formative stages.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

In light of some recent heavy rains and the forecast of the more to come, Colorado Community Media asked people if they

less and 5.9 percent for income above that amount. Under the measure, the Legislature has put forth a plan to infuse the state with about $950 million for education.

We are starting to see many questions generated about what the real impacts will be and where the money will actually go. So we are very pleased to see this economic model launched in time for this momentous decision.

Typically in coverage of these major measures, we come across various evaluations, but too often the information comes from parties with clear interests — in extremes that can extend from hardened opposition to increased taxes to open arms for all funding for education.

Union smears can’t hide success

Susan Meek’s guest column in a recent edition advises us it is time to “address parent concerns,” and she complains that parents “no longer have a voice in the Douglas County School District.”

She repeats the union line that has been answered and refuted in virtually every public school board meeting that class sizes have “exploded,” instructional time has been cut, the district is holding back resources and she even manages to voice disdain that the school board considers Douglas County parents as their “customers.” How novel!

I agree with Ms. Meek that something is “wrong” in the school district. What is wrong is a union that has failed us, failed our children, politicized the educational process and wants to take power away from parents and stick it back in its monopolistic hands.

The union’s idea of an educational system has been badly broken for a very long time and we’ve all paid dearly for it. This school board has been the most accessible and transparent in recent memory and its success in improving the district is clearly visible for those who bother to look past the union smears.

School board’s efforts appreciated

Regarding Susan Meek’s guest column, “Time to address parent concerns”: My wife and I have two young children.

One will be attending a charter school this fall and the younger one will be entering kindergarten in two years. My wife and I are among the many parents in the district who are grateful to the Douglas County

the best matador in Spain wash my car.

There are complete yahoos on The History Channel who boast about slaughtering alligators. I watch the channel all of the time, except when “Swamp People” is on.

It’s as if they turned programming over to a Hatfield or McCoy for an hour.

Why take out a profound arrogance on animals? Of course, if we didn’t there would have been no King Kong.

I know there are women who run with the bulls, but most of the runners are men, aggressively masculine men, who must reek of testosterone.

I also know that there are men who fly to Pamplona to have their testosterone inhaled by other men. You probably could get pregnant just standing in line at the Pamplona Starbucks.

Pitting dogs against each other makes me angry-sad. If the losers aren’t killed by the winners, they are killed by their owners.

Running with the bulls is as foreign to me as runways. Running with the designers doesn’t make me angry or sad, it just gives me the all-out creeps. But bull running and fashion shows have big audiences, ones that I will never touch. I just looked at my shelter dog and said that I was glad there is no running of the dachshunds.

He reminded me that there is. Even my little friend’s breed is subjected to human condescension.

Go bulls! Go dachshunds!

School Board for their efforts to improve and increase the educational choices available.

Susan Meek’s guest column mentions the board referring to parents as “customers” as if that is a bad thing. I have now worked in the private sector for over 20 years and my co-workers and I have always recognized that the most important purpose of our company is to provide for the various needs of our “customers” or “clients” with the highest quality products and services.

There are many children in the district with a different mix of needs, and the parents of these children are in the best position to determine what these needs are. Our school board recognizes that to optimize the meeting of these various needs for all children, parents need to have more options and more influence regarding educational choices for their children, and special-interest groups like unions should have less influence. The board has worked to improve and expand these choices to parents by increasing the autonomy of neighborhood public schools, adding charter schools and piloting the Choice Scholarship Program, which will further expand choices to include a number of private partner schools.

Because my children are entering their formal schooling years, I appreciate the efforts this school board has made to move away from the one-size-fits-all model towards a “system” with expanded choices and incentives for education providers to innovate and better meet the needs of all children.

Engaging RTD’s southeastern area y When I ran for the Regional Transporta-

tion District board last year, I committed to o hat hold meetings throughout RTD District G. I he am fulfilling that commitment, having held nges, a town hall meeting in Parker on June 26, where nearly 40 citizens attended. n Having served in public office for nearly 17 years in Parker, first as mayor then as el councilmember, I understand the importance of the interaction between RTD and ono- our citizens. Since being on the RTD board, I have a better sense of the agency’s inner it pe workings. I felt by hosting the town hall le meeting, we could better determine the issues residents care about. It’s important y re to have an ongoing dialogue about RTD e to services and let people know they can convet- tact me with comments or concerns. I can’t tive promise I will be able to fix all issues, but I will definitely try to improve things.

At the meeting, RTD staff provided updates on the P route bus service as well as proposed annexation for areas contiguous to the district that want to be in the service

area. I heard from riders that they want more RTD services. In fact, the Town of Parker developed a program to provide free Call-n-Ride services this summer to help boost ridership. This is in hopes of retaining current bus service and making a case for expanded transit services in the future.

FasTracks, RTD’s voter-approved transit expansion program, was also discussed.

The program will build 122 miles of rail, 18 miles of bus rapid transit service, add 21,000 parking spaces, redevelop Denver

Union Station and redirect bus service to better connect the eight-county Denver metro region. I supported the FasTracks program from the beginning and was involved in the Metro Mayors Caucus to help pass this transit investment.

Riders in this area will benefit from an extension of the Southeast Rail Line, which will connect the most southern edge of District G to the entire region. The project will add three stations to the existing line, at Sky Ridge Medical Center, Lone Tree City Center and RidgeGate Parkway. This project was recently accepted into the federal grant funding process, which doesn’t yet secure federal funds, but is an important step in determining if the Southeast Extension remains a good candidate for federal funds. Also, residents will be able to travel on one train from Lincoln Station, and eventually from the RidgeGate Parkway Station, via the I-225 Rail Line to the Peoria Station to connect to the train to the airport in 2016.

I’m pleased to report that RTD is making significant progress on the entire FasTracks program. The West Rail Line to Golden opened in April. Meanwhile, construction is advancing on Denver Union Station, the East Line to Denver International Airport, the Gold Line to Arvada and Wheat Ridge, the first segment of the Northwest Rail Line to south Westminster and the I-225 line.

In order to keep dialogue going, I would like to host meetings twice a year. This will give me a better sense of the issues and I’ll do what I can to benefit my district.

Email your comments and questions to Gary.Lasater@rtd-denver.com. For information visit www.rtd-denver.com.

Gary Lasater is an RTD board director representing District G, which includes all of Lone Tree and Foxfield; portions of Aurora, Centennial and Parker; and portions of unincorporated Arapahoe and Douglas counties (including Meridian Village).

When agreeing to disagree, try agreeing Whether it is in a business situation or a family setting, so many relationships are impacted and decisions avoided because of a lack of consensus or our inability to reach a unanimous conclusion.

We reach the point of being polite and saying something like, “Let’s just agree to disagree,” and we believe we can move on hoping the other person is under the same impression. But what did we really accomplish?

In some cases we completely avoid making the decision and in that situation both people lose. And in other cases we walk away feeling offended or hurt as our opinions are taken out of context, and before we know it the relationship becomes strained. Again, everyone loses.

You see the issue is that although we use the saying, “let’s just agree to disagree,” we don’t actually stick to it. Instead we walk away and tell others about the disagreement or we try and tell our side of the story to anyone who will listen. And the person we were arguing with is probably doing the very same thing.

So instead of both parties losing and feeling like they didn’t have an opportunity to eat at the restaurant of their choice, or seeing the movie that they had been waiting to see, what if we practiced a different technique? Instead of agreeing to disagree, come up with option B, or a second and third choice.

It works the same way in business. So many times when I am coaching a client, they share a story about a peer or manager, or sometimes even their boss or a customer, where they just could not see eye-to-eye. It created angst and tension and people started operating in silos. My guidance for my client was to be really prepared before going into their next meeting.

If people started office politics or jockeying for position, be prepared with options for the items and issues that are important to the greater good of the company or customer.

It is so easy for a meeting to get off track as people champion their own agendas, and if we take the time to be ready with alternative solutions and consider the needs and wants of others we can mitigate the chances of a situation arising where everyone loses. Many authors and experts have used the term, “Seek first to understand

and then to be understood,” and when find ourselves in a combative situation or even a minor disagreement we should take the time to think through things from the perspective of others. This is a great first step to defusing those minor disagreements that sometimes escalate to big ugly arguments.

I am simply suggesting that instead of always trying to win for the sake of winning and ending up losing anyway, it is always better to find a way to agree on a solution that best meets everyone’s needs.

And if we take this path, take the high road, and people still want to argue or fight with us, all we can do is walk away knowing that we really did try everything in our power to come to an agreement. And if they decide to become angry with us or re-

vert to talking about us to other people, we should not worry. All we can do is manage what we do and say, we cannot manage or stress about how others act and feel. My good friend Frank Singer reminded me of a quote, “Other people’s opinions of us is none of our business.”

Do you focus on the disagreement or the path to agreement? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com.

When we are prepared with alternative solutions and have a heart and mind focused on the needs of others, it will be a better than good week.

Pro-school board survey seems rigged

I just received a robo-call from the Douglas County Education Alliance. It stated that they want my opinion on education in Douglas County.

After asking a lengthy question, which outlined all the “wonderful” things the current school board has introduced to Douglas County Schools, they asked me to press 1 if I support the actions of the current board, 2 if I opposed the actions, and 3 if it was too soon to tell.

I pressed 2, but evidently, they didn’t like that answer because they asked the question again. I pressed 2 again. Finally after the fourth time, they hung up on me.

Clearly, those outsiders who are pouring money into one side of the critical issues our schools face didn’t want my opinion, once learning that I can see through their agenda to destroy equal, free, public education for all.

I urge your readers to see the Strong Schools Coalition website at http://strongschoolscoalition.org. This group is not relying on outside funds, so they don’t have the money for robo-calls. But responsible citizens should research all sides. Once on the website, be sure to click on the link to “parent survey” to see what parents and teachers really think about what’s going on in our district.

Driveshaft shop keeps wheels turning Englewood business gets work from around the world

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com When the owner hit a rock and damaged the driveshaft of his 2012 Chevrolet 3500 diesel pickup truck, he asked Bill’s Englewood Driveshaft to build a replacement.

“The rock but a big dent in the aluminum driveshaft, so we have to make a new one,” Bill Farris said July 11 as he and his wife, Shantel, worked on the project. “Our motto is if it needs a driveshaft, we’ll build it. Each project is different and this project is pretty straightforward, so we can complete in a few hours.”

A driveshaft is a mechanical component of a vehicle’s drive train that transmits torque and rotation from the engine and transmission to the wheels that propel the vehicle.

The shop entrance is located off the alley between Broadway and Lincoln Street, in the block between Floyd and Girard avenues. The shop is compact, with all the spare parts and specialized equipment needed to complete the projects.

While most drivers may never experience a driveshaft problem, the demand for the work done at Bill’s Englewood Driveshaft at 3364½ S. Broadway keeps the staff busy, and Farris is considering hiring additional staff and possible moving to another Englewood location to have more room to fill the driveshaft orders.

“I am the third member of the Farris family to operate this shop,” Bill said as he began work on the aluminum driveshaft. “My grandpa Viven opened the shop in 1977. My dad Bob ran it for a while. He wanted to run his survival equipment shop on Broadway so I took over.”

He said his grandfather got started building driveshafts when driveshafts installed in many models of 1970s Cadillacs caused excessive vibration because of poor

Photos by Tom Munds driveshaft balance.

“Grandpa was one of two places in the state equipped to build new driveshafts for those luxury cars. He also began getting requests to build driveshafts for race cars and other specialty vehicles, and our company is still at it.”

Farris said his shop is equipped to help vehicle owners solve problems, whether the challenge is building a lighter driveshaft to reduce the weight or to build a balanced driveshaft to eliminate vibration problems.

“Our family has always tried to treat all our customers the way we would want to be treated if we were asking for the service our shop provides,” the 1980 Englewood High School graduate said. “We want to turn out a quality project to meet the customer’s needs. Our policy is to start with the best

possible raw materials because you can’t build a good house on a crappy foundation.”

In the early years, most of the shop’s business came from referrals and from print advertising. Farris said technology changed all that.

“I began advertising on the Internet, which opened up a worldwide market for us. Many of our orders come to us by email from people we will never meet in person,” he said.

“On the average, we build 20 to 25 driveshafts a day. Many are for local customers, but we also ship our driveshafts to customers in Australia, England and other countries overseas.”

Farris said he has always worked on cars and, while at Englewood High School, he

“I love speed and today, I get my current throttle therapy going off-road or crushing cars with my monster truck,” he said. “I go to the monster truck winter nationals at the National Western Stock Show complex. The first time was a little scary when I hit the throttle to jump some cars but it also gave me a rush that you can’t describe in words.

But, it was a great experience and I look forward to getting that rush again whether I am jumping a line of cars or going airborne when I am going off-road and going airborne while traveling more than 100 miles an hour in the desert.”

Distillery missing beloved bathtub Gin maker offers free drinks for return of 400-pound vessel

bathtub mystery To report the whereabouts of the missing bathtub, contact: Andrew Causey, downslope.distilling@gmail.com, 303-810-4831

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Andrew Causey makes gin.

Although the spirits he channels with partner Mitch Abate at the Downslope Distillery are far from the storied bathtub hooch made during Prohibition, he does keeps a bathtub around as a sort of a sentimental tribute to days gone by.

But as Causey opened his distillery the morning of July 7, he noticed something was missing.

That something was the 400-pound cast iron bathtub that used to welcome tourists and tasters to the Centennial-based smallbatch distillery.

“I really had to just stop and do a doubletake,” Causey said.

“At first we thought we would get a ransom note, but we didn’t.”

Although the tub was old, he joked that it was not a claw-footed model, “so it probably didn’t walk off.”

The giant enameled vessel was actually a hand-me-down from a relative, and Causey thought that parking it in front of the distillery’s front entrance would spark a giggle and add a bit of period charm.

Causey said he never thought about bolting it to the ground, because, well, it

Insanity plea entered in Centennial slaying Court order may jeopardize client’s rights, defense says

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com A Centennial man accused of killing his mother and then dismembering her body has entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity.

However, a court order requiring Ari Misha Liggett to cooperate with state-appointed mental-health experts may compromise his constitutional rights, according to his attorney.

Liggett, 24, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of his mother, 56-year-old Beverly Liggett.

He appeared July 15 in an Arapahoe County courtroom before Judge William B. Sylvester, who accepted his plea and ordered the former University of ColoLiggett rado student to undergo further mental-health testing.

Sylvester laid out a 23-point advisement to Liggett and his attorney, Jennifer Ahnstedt, detailing the conditions and consequences of his plea.

Ahnstedt argued that some of the stipulations issued by the court in the document may be unconstitutional.

Specifically, she points to what she

claims is a conflict between her client’s right to assert the Fifth Amendment and the court’s demand that Liggett answer questions and cooperate fully with mentalhealth professionals.

Senior Deputy District Attorney Brian Sugioka objected, insisting that the statutory definition of “non-cooperation” was “not that difficult.”

Ahnstedt asked the court for a separate hearing to wrangle with the issues before Liggett would be obligated to undergo the 60-day evaluation.

“Once the evaluation is complete, the statute comes into play and we’ve lost the opportunity, if desired, to assert the Fifth Amendment,” she said.

The court-ordered mental-health evaluation may help determine whether Liggett serves time in prison or in a state mental facility, if convicted.

Sylvester, who stepped down in April as the judge in the trial of Aurora theater shooting suspect James Holmes, said he shared the concerns raised by the defense, but would not interrupt the evaluation by granting a hearing in the middle of the process.

Sylvester did permit the litigation of such constitutional issues, should they arise, at a later date.

Liggett underwent a competency exam in February at the Colorado Mental Health Institute in Pueblo and was deemed competent to stand trial.

He is suspected of poisoning his mother and then cutting her body into seven pieces to hide her death so he could use her credit cards.

Douglas County tops in active men Douglas County ranks No. 1 in physically active males in the country, according to a study conducted by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. With 89.9 percent of all males in the county reporting sufficient physical activity, the male population was two points ahead of Teton County, Wyo., which came in second at 87.9.

Routt County was the lone other Colorado county in the top 10 for males, placing fourth at 87.1. The female population in the county ranked sixth nationally, at 86.3 percent, joining 10th-place Summit County, third-place Pitkin County and fourth-place Routt County as one of four Colorado counties in the top 10.

boring businesses that have security cameras.

“And of course, when we looked, all the

cameras were pointed in every other direction except where we needed them,” he said with chuckle.

Causey cedes he didn’t report the incident to law enforcement, simply because he figured it was a lost cause and officers probably had a lot more important things to do than chase after his missing bathtub.

“I’m guessing by now it’s probably already chopped up and in the scrap pile, sold for the value of the metal,” he said with a sigh.

However, should the tub still be intact, Causey said he’d like to have it back.

No questions asked.

It’s more about the bathtub, he said, than trying to finger someone for petty theft.

“Really, I just want the bathtub back,” he said.

Causey said if anyone delivers the tub back — in one piece — to the distillery, he’d splurge for a round of drinks at the tasting table, no matter what the motive.

The only legal catch to his offer, of course, would be that everyone is old enough to drink.

Lions, tigers and books, oh my!

Circus acts delight crowd while helping library charity

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcolorado news.com While the Elbert County Library District has plenty of books on lions and tigers, director Kari May admits she never thought the large cats would ever make a live appearance in her library parking lot.

But, never say never.

The Culpepper and Merriweather Circus stopped in Elizabeth for two afternoon performances July 21 at the Elizabeth Public Library, to the delight of both young and old — and to raise money for the Elbert County Libraries Foundation.

The small, tented onering circus featured a variety of traditional acts, delighting both young and old, and raising money for the foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing library facilities, programs and services.

“It worked out nicely,” said May. “We were able

Francis, a 500-pound black-maned African lion, eyes his surroundings before a July 21 performance in Elizabeth with the Culpepper and Merriweather Great Combined Circus. The large cats are provided ample opportunity to stretch their legs and become acquainted with the ring before performing. Different surfaces can make the cats feel insecure in their footing. to provide the circus with a place to perform and a small portion of the ticket price will come back to the libraries.”

Based in Hugo, Okla., the circus performs approximately 31 weeks out of the year, according to general manager and resident lion tamer Trey Key. Key, who’s been with cir-

cus for seven years, feeds, grooms and trains the three large felines that headline the show as well as handling many of the logistics.

While small familyowned circuses seem to struggle in larger metropolitan areas, Culpepper and Merriweather emphasizes the fact that less densely populated areas enable

Circus general manager and tiger tamer Trey Key scratches Delilah, a rare 350-pound golden tabby tiger, shortly before her performance on July 21 in Elizabeth. Key is part of the Culpepper and Merriweather Circus that held two afternoon performances in the Elizabeth Public Library parking lot. Portions of ticket sales were returned to the Elbert County Libraries Fundation.

Key added that over the years, additional fees and

permit requirements can make things difficult. He said he, as well as many of the circus family members, love what they do.

“I don’t think there’s any-

one here that would be happy working in an office five days a week,” he said. “This is really the best job you can have. I’m surrounded with friends and pets all day.”

budgeting six months ago, Stevens said he would have suggested taking money out of transportation and wastewater reserve funds, anyway — a justifiable approach because of the significant road-building and extension of water lines for this park.

“This is a great project,” Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue said at one point. “I think it would be a mistake if we cut back the scope.” Donahue referred to the recent community survey that indicated the high importance residents place on adding parks and recreational opportunities.

Councilmember Jennifer Green expressed interest in discussing at the next meeting the possibility of creating more

phases and spreading the cost, and Councilmember Joe Procopio said he was interested in looking at cost-cutting measures, including maybe putting in natural turf instead of artificial turf on fields.

Currently, Phase 1, originally costing $20 million, is broken into the three contract packages. The first two contracts have already been approved by the council, and mainly involve grading, utilities and foundation work. The third contract package, which the town now has approved to get bids on, includes amenities such as the fieldhouse, pool, athletic fields, trails, parking, amphitheater and millhouse meeting house.

Additional future phases that would add ballfields and other amenities were expected to bring the park’s total cost to about $30 million. It’s hoped some private fundraising will help with some of the cost.

ranch, is once again, for the fifth year, inviting people to the ranch for this event. The Douglas County Land Conservancy, with a staff of 1½ positions, will use the funds from the JA Ranch Sunset BBQ and Open Space Celebration, usually about $20,000, in its ongoing effort to oversee existing conservation easements and obtain more land, said Patti Hostetler, the land conservancy’s executive director.

“The hardest part of our job begins once a conservation easement is put in place, protecting the land,” she said.

Hostetler said one of the land conservancy’s most important responsibilities is to ensure that these properties are protected in perpetuity by annually visiting each property.

Hostetler said the nonprofit organiza-

tion, created in 1987 and based in Castle Rock, is made up of concerned citizens and primarily serves Douglas County. Of the 21,838 acres already protected, 11,102 acres are open to the public and provide great trail and recreational experiences for all to enjoy. The rest, 10,281 acres, are private lands like the JA Ranch that will never be developed.

The Douglas County Land Conservancy is the conservation easement holder for Greenland Open Space, Hidden Mesa Open Space and Dawson Butte Open Space, among others.

This year’s event is from 4 to 8 p.m. Aug. 24. There will be a chuckwagon-style dinner, which will be catered by Buffalo Gals Catering; wine and beer from an event sponsor, local Rockyard Brewery; and entertainment

by Castle Rock’s Dry Creek Bluegrass Band.

Tickets are $85.

The two laugh.

And the laughter lingers, its echo of a simple joyous moment a sweet reminder about the transforming power of human connection.

Kaleidoscope show lives up to name Variety of media on exhibit at ACC

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The Annual Juried Kaleidoscope Exhibition at ACC’s Colorado Gallery of the Arts grows stronger with each succeeding year.

The show, which runs through July 31, was juried this year by Marsha Wooley, a longtime Arapahoe Community College faculty member and well-known landscape painter, and Christine Katzenberg, a ceramic artist who teaches and coordinates exhibits at Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial.

The two selected a show that fits comfortably in the gallery from a large number of entries.

Best of Show was awarded to the mysterious “Sea Mudra” by Jonathan M. Wright, an oil on canvas painting of a woman in the water, but with four arms in symbolic pose, like an Indian religious figure. One wonders where she came from.

The First Place ribbon went to Robert Schroeder’s large “Brick Pot With Pipe Handle,” a tongue-in-cheek, but expertly crafted, clay sculpture. The artist has several more in a brick pot series in the show, which add some heft to the three-dimensional exhibits.

Second Place was awarded to Joyce McClain’s “Lake Garda,” a detailed solar etching, which draws the viewer in for a close look.

Third Place winner is S. Williams’ bright watercolor “Details Bike,” a portrait of the

Honorable Mentions were given to Barbara Veatch for a mixed-media abstract painting; to Roseanne Stearne’s airy mixed media painting “Celebration II,” and to Gayla Ruckhaus’ “Iris,” created from colorful, textured wool fibers, pressed on a board, under glass.

This broad-based show, open to all, is a nice representation of the many interests community artists pursue, with a variety of skills.

The jurors’ statement had this description: “Upon walking through the gallery we were impressed by the variety of art in our community. We decided we needed to convey that diversity. The diversity is represent-

ed in each subject matter, technique and content. We decided that each artist should have at least one work of art in the show. If there were multiple submissions, we wanted to show strengths through similarity or originality and diversity. Other considerations included careful analysis of the artist’s use of the art elements and principles.

We awarded the strongest representations of a variety of media. Finally, we want to thank all artists who submitted to the Kaleidoscope show. It is our wish that each and every one of you continue to create, grow, and evolve as artists.”

Poundstone coming to Chautauqua Comedian entertains without nastiness

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com On most weekends, more than 5 million people who tune into NPR’s news quiz show, “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me,” enjoy the clever comedian Paula Poundstone, who works at the intersection of politics and comedy, managing to nail a situation accurately and with humor time after time.

An author and lecturer as well, Poundstone will appear in Colorado at 8 p.m. Aug. 3 at the historic Chautauqua Auditorium in Boulder. “Appear in concert” is what they call it, but she will demonstrate why she is thought of as one of America’s great humorists.

She holds spontaneous, impromptu exchanges with the audience over all sorts of topics, managing to entertain without being mean or nasty. Political comment is current and artful and she is a master storyteller.

She is National Spokesperson for United for Libraries, the national Friends of the Library citizen support network. Groups across the nation work to raise funds and awareness for these valued community institutions — and come forth when there is a fracas over a book or topic.

She says each show she does is different, so the audience can expect new and current material when Paula Poundstone steps onto the Chautauqua stage.

IKEA in Centennial donated nearly $60,000 of products in comfort kits for families forced out of their homes during Colorado’s Black Forest Fire in June. In all, 800 kits were created; 500 for adults and 300 for children.

“There really wasn’t a question of if we’d do something to help our neighbors, it was a question of what we’d do,” said local marketing, PR and community outreach manager Annie Boeckman.

IKEA Centennial co-workers brainstormed product ideas to include in the kits. Each bag contained basic necessities focusing on eating, sleeping and hygiene.

“The products chosen for the bags were a team effort,” Boeckman said. “Our coworkers put themselves in the mindset of an evacuee and thought about what they’d need if they had to up and leave at a moment’s notice.”

Each IKEA bag contained a pillow, blanket, towel, water bottle and utensils for eating and writing. The child kits also contained markers, paper and a soft toy to keep them entertained during a stressful situation.

IKEA Centennial realized firsthand results of their efforts in an email from an IKEA visitor on July 2: “I want to thank you for the kind packages you sent to the Red Cross to help those in the Black Forest Fire!

My sister lost everything, but had toys for her grandkids to play with because of your kindness.”

It took just five days to pull more than 10,000 products, set up an assembly line on the store’s receiving dock and have co-workers assemble the bags. Many IKEA employees came in early or stayed late knowing time was of the essence for the evacuees.

The New Jersey IKEA transport team, in charge of setting up trucks for product delivery to and from distribution centers, quickly contracted a 53-foot trailer to transport the bags to Colorado Springs.

The kits were delivered to the American Red Cross Disaster Assistance Center on June 21 and distributed by Red Cross volunteers the following week.

Elise Wiggins, executive chef of Panzano in Denver, will represent Colorado at the Great American Seafood Cook Off in New Orleans on Aug. 3. One of the most prestigious culinary competitions in the United States, The Great American Seafood Cook Off emphasizes the importance of cooking with domestic and sustainable seafood.

In New Orleans, Wiggins will compete against more than a dozen top seafood chefs from across the country for the title of “King” or “Queen” of American Seafood.

The chefs will prepare dishes that showcase sustainable fish. Garrett Wiggins, Elise’s younger brother, will act as her sous chef at the event. Interestingly, Wiggins grew up in West Monroe, La., and moved to Colorado to pursue her cooking career.

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to return to Louisiana and represent Colorado at the Cook Off in New Orleans,” said Wiggins, whose restaurant, Panzano, has a Four Diamond rating from AAA. “I look forward to meeting chefs from other states Parker continues on Page 29

Funeral Facts

J.R. Pinon Olinger Andrews Caldwell Gibson Chapel

Q. What is the best piece of advice you would give someone about funerals?

A. Very simply: be prepared. I don’t mean merely expect to have a funeral, but to plan yours in advance – and in detail – with the help of a professional.

The most difficult thing we see is families who are not prepared for the loss of a loved one.

The surviving family members are forced to create a plan while they mourn, which can make an emotional situation worse. After all, there are over a hundred questions that need to be answered before a funeral can take place. That’s a lot to think about when you should be focused on coming together as a family.

A lot of times, this difficulty prompts surviving family members to make plans for themselves, so they can spare their own loved ones from the added grief they just went through.

If I could give a single piece of advice, this is what I would recommend to anyone. A plan can help your loved ones cope with the loss far better, allowing them to focus on what’s most important. We offer a free planning guide to help you complete this process, which you can then file with your funeral home so it’s ready when you need it.

Jerald “J. R.” Pinon is the Location Manager at Olinger Andrews Caldwell Gibson Chapel, a member of the Dignity Memorial® network serving the Castle Rock community. He frequently offers funeral-related advice and counseling to area families. For information or to ask a question, contact J. R. at 303-688-3191.

Broken cycle, broken heart for Berry Littleton racer runs into bad luck at Bandimere

By Scott Stocker

Special to Colorado Community Media Littleton’s Mike Berry had a broken heart when his Pro Stock Motorcycle broke in the classification semifinals of the Mopar Mile High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway, causing a subsequent loss to Hector Arana Jr. of Milltown, Ind. Berry had qualified in the No. 2 position behind the No. 1 qualifier, Adam Arana, who would foul out on his second run, losing to former Trinidad resident Andrew Hines.

Shawn Gann of Stoneville, N.C., was the classification winner, beating Hector Arana Jr. with his pass of 7.351 seconds at 181.08 mph to Arana’s 7.376/182.11 effort.

“I blew it up and we spun the wheels,” said a dejected Berry. “I’m ecstatic about the weekend. We just need to fix the problem. I’m not going to do the rest of the Western Swing, but I’ll be coming back for Indianapolis. I just want to figure out the whole problem.

“I was actually shocked to be the No. 2 qualifier,” said Berry, who opened with a win against L.E. Tonglet of Metairie, La. (7.320/180.69 to 7.363/181.47). “Something worked early, not just at the end for me. I just want to get a handle on it. I’m really pleased overall with the weekend, but finals and a win would have been sweet. We were excited.”

Berry had reached the semifinals with a tremendous hole shot (.026 second) at the start, which enabled him to beat Matt Smith of King, N.C. (7.383/178.89 to 7.354181.08).

Funny car

It’s been two decades since Cruz Pedregon of Brownsburg, Ind., won at Bandimere, but he fashioned what can be called a near-perfect weekend, winning the Funny Car championship.

In the course of three days, Pedregon qualified No. 1 with a record-setting pass of 4.073 seconds at 307.37 mph. He went on to defeat Bob Tasca III from Cranston, R.I., for the Mile High title with a pass of 4.233 seconds, 295.46 mph to Tasca III’s 4.408/257.04 effort.

In winning for the 33rd time in his career, Pedregon defeated Todd Simpson of Ponder, Texas (4.188/295.46 to 4.376/206.70) to open his run, Ron Capps of Carlsbad, Calif. (4.178/297.35 to 4.282/296.18), and Del Worsham of Villa Park, Calif. (4.232/292.84 to 5.261/155.9).

“To run the table with the low ET puts the pressure on,” Pedregon said. “This is just a difficult place to race. I’m grateful and

Can we sweep the Western Swing? We’ll see.

We’ve got the good start.”

Tasca III opened his run to the final upsetting John Force of Yorba Linda, California (4.268-296.76 to 4.313-288.33), followed by victories against Tim Wilkerson (4.237303.03 to 4.307-274.22) and Robert Hight of Yorba Linda, California (4.221-302.89 to 4.434-230.13).

Top fuel dragster

Like Funny Car, there were no Colorado drivers in Top Fuel, a classification won by

Spencer Massey. Yet it was a step up in the right direction for the Brownsburg, Ind., resident.

Massey, who was the runner-up in the Mile Highs last season, came through to beat Bob Vandergriff of Alpharetta, Ga., with a pass of 3.974 seconds, 309.27 mph to Vandergriff’s 4.029/304.67 effort. He had reached the final with his victory against teammate Shawn Langdon (3.966/309.98 to 3.975/309.20), his quarterfinal win over Mike Strasburg of Lehi, Utah (3.996/305.91 to 5.213/138.77), and his opening round win against Clay Millican of Drummonds, Tenn., (3.970/311.99 to 4.011/304.74).

Bandimere dear to Pro Stock driver Johnson notches fifth title at Mile High Nationals

‘The crew was awesome and they all stepped up.’

Allen Johnson

By Scott Stocker

Special to Colorado Community Media Allen Johnson has won a host of drag races during his 16-year career on the quarter-mile drag strips. One of his most memorable moments took place at Bandimere Speedway in the National Hot Rod Association, Mopar Mile High Nationals.

“In 1996 I only qualified at one track and that was here at Bandimere,” said Johnson, who has since compiled four titles at the Mile Highs in Pro Stock and is the classification’s reigning world champion. “I was the 16th qualifier in the field and I beat the No. 1 qualifier in our first elimination run. I lost in the second round, but it has been a special memory. This is a very special track for me and I consider it one of the three best in the country.”

Johnson can add another memorable victory at Bandimere as he not only defended his Mile High title, but added his

fifth on the speedway’s quarter-mile. On July 21 he defeated Lakewood’s V. Gaines in their head-to-head final with a 6.989-second pass at 196.87 mph to 7.015-196.67 for Gains.

In the process, he added to his previous victories in 2007, 2009 and 2011.

Johnson, who hails from Greeneville, Tenn., and drives a 2013 Dodge Avenger, had come through with the top qualifying time, running 6.949 seconds at 198.23 mph. Gaines had latched onto the No. 2 position running 7.009 seconds at 196.33 mph.

Johnson, who has also compiled three previous wins this season, had a bye in the first round, but still made a pass at 197.10 mph with a 6.981 ET. He had a tough quarterfinal against Mike Edwards of Coweta,

Okla., but prevailed with a pass of 6.982 seconds at 196.90 mph to 6.989/196.67 for Edwards. He reached the final beating Ricky Jones of Galesburg, Ill., with his 6.993/196.96 effort to 7.034/195.96 for Jones.

“This is our sponsor’s race, Mopar, and we also come out here and test our butts off,” said Johnson, who has recorded nine of the top 10 speeds in his class at Bandimere.

“Our crew has found the results to make us run fast. I love this place, I love Denver, and it has become my favorite place to race.

“The crew was awesome and they all stepped up,” said Johnson, who likes to view Bandimere as a home track.

“We were able to hit on all eight cylinders this weekend. This is so special and I want to thank Mopar for their sponsorship

of the race here. I just wish we could come here twice a year.”

Gaines was also in the hunt for the Mile High championship all the way. He defeated Steve Kalkowski of Ogallala, Neb., in the first round as Kalkowski broke, then topped Jason Line from Mooresville, N.C., (7.001/196.62 to 7.019/196.56) and Shane Gray of Denver, N.C., (6.981/196.96 to 7.00/196.79).

“It was a great weekend and I think we learned a lot from the competition,” said Gaines, who will continue the Western Swing with stops in Sonoma, Calif., and Seattle in the coming two weekends. “We didn’t quite get the car running the way we wanted. But being in an all-Mopar final meant a great deal to me.

“Of course we would have liked to have won,” Gaines said. “We spun a little bit on the final run, but got down low and had a good light. It was a door handle-to-door handle race. On the Western Swing I hope what we’ve learned can be translated into some more points. We just got to get healthy. It’s been a dry spell for a while on the points.”

Track worker says job is place to be Longtime sprint racer happy to be at Bandimere

adindex

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com

Frank Evancich spent three days last week armed with a hose and broom.

Evancich, an Alameda High School graduate and Denver resident, worked the water box for the National Hot Rod Association’s Mopar Mile High Nationals, held July 19-21 at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison.

His job was to make sure there was water on the track, so when cars rolled toward the starting line, they would get the tires wet to do burnouts. Then, he would grab a broom to help sweep away rocks.

“I’ve been working this race for 25 years,” said Evancich. “I’d been racing sprint cars on Saturdays for 35 or 40 years. I love drag racing. With this job, it’s the idea of being out with everybody and watching the action. In between what we’re doing we glance every once in a while and watch a race.”

An estimated 114,000 people watched Mile High Nationals events, which actually started July 18 with a Mopar block party in Golden. Fans are allowed to walk around the pit area and scrutinize crews as they work on the cars. Unlike most sports, there were seven divisions of amateur drivers competing on the same track and same venue as the professionals. Two sportsman classes, Top Dragster and Top Sportsman, competed for national honors for the first time this summer at Bandimere.

The monsoon rains that hit some areas of the state avoided Morrison and the Mile High National drag races were contested with good weather and near-capacity crowds. The Bandimere stop is the 14th race on the 2013 NHRA tour, with four remaining before the points are reset for the Countdown to the Championship, which is the NHRA’s version of the playoffs.

Funny Car driver Cruz Pedregon and Steve Torrence, in a Top Fuel dragster, set track records in the qualifying rounds that were held during the first two days.

Pedregon and Torrence were the n the No. 1 qualifiers in their respective Ind., classes going into the July 21 elimination rounds. Allen Johnson’s magic n the on the Thunder Mountain track near h to Morrison continued, and he was the Ga., mph had ainst 09.98 over 05.91 ound onds,

Rookie Brittney Force of Yorba Linda; Calif., launches in her Top Fuel Dragster on July 20 at Bandimere Speedway. Courtesy photo by Patrick Glenn top seed for the fourth straight year in Pro Stock, while Adam Arana was the No. 1 seed in Pro Stock Motorcycle.

Johnson defeated Lakewood’s V. Gaines July 21 in the Bandimere finals for the second straight season, capturing his fourth Mile High Nationals championship in the past five years and the fifth of his career at the drag racing facility. He has been in eight Mile High finals, including seven in a row.

The Greeneville, Tenn., native eliminated Mike Edwards, the last Pro Stock driver to win at Bandimere other than Johnson in the past five seasons, in the second round, and his 6.989-second run at 196.87 miles per hour downed Gaines’ 7.015 at 196.67-mph effort in an all-Mopar Super Stock finals.

“The Mopar Express Lane Dodge Avenger crew is the reason for all the success for the last seven years here,” said Johnson, who clinched a spot in the Countdown to the Championship. “They’re determined to win every year. We’re really thrilled to come out here with a win for Mopar on their 25th anniversary of this race. For them and the Bandimere family, having that marriage for 25 years, we really wanted to win it for that marriage. We pulled it off and we’re very happy.”

Pederson knocked off Bob Tasca III to capture the Funny Car championship. It was his second win at Bandimere, coming 20 years after he was victorious in 1993.

“I can remember winning in 1993 and winning this race means the same to win,” said Pedregon, who drove his 8,000-horsepower Toyota Camry to a 4.233 elapsed time at 295.46 mph in the final run.

Spencer Massey beat Bob Vandergriff in the Top Fuel finals with an ET of 3.974 and 309.27 mph. He lost in the Mile High semifinals last year but won in 2011 at Bandimere.

“We used all the data from last year and the year before,” said Massey. “I love it up here and the key to winning was to tune smart and drive smart.”

Shawn Gann captured to Pro Stock Motorcycle title with a final-round triumph over Hector Arana Jr. for his first win in nine years.

“It was a long drought, but if you give up the fight, you’re never going to get out of that drought,” said Gann.

Four Funny Car drivers actually lowered the track record July 19, but Pedregon, a two-time world champion, broke his own Bandimere standard during the second qualifying session with a 4.073 ET and a speed of 307.37 mph. Cruz had set the previous track mark July 19, 2011, with a run of 4.095. The NHRA national Funny Car ET record of 3.986 was established last year by Jack Beckman at Mohnton, Pa. “I consider it an honor to come back here and break that track record from two years ago,” said Pedregon.

Torrence, with Pueblo native Lee Beard serving as his new crew chief, earned the No. 1 Top Fuel qualifying spot with a record run in the fourth session July 20. He had a top speed of 319.60 mph, which broke Antron Brown’s Thunder Mountain record of 318.39 set in 2009.

During the sportsman Super Gas eliminations July 19, Bill Dennis of Roswell, N.M., hit the wall in his 1957 Corvette and flipped his car. He was released from the hospital later in the evening.
