Third-graders’ lemonade stand raises $2,000 for school Girls pave way for filtration system for refilling water bottles BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Life imitated art in a charitable way when five third-grade girls at a school in west Centennial raised more than $2,000 — all by selling lemonade. “We got the idea from ‘The Lemonade War’ book we read in class,” said Gabby Fuentes, a 9-year-old student at Mark Twain Elementary School. The girls learned that their school needed a water-filtration system from their principal, and they decided to hold a lemonade stand in front of the school to raise money toward the roughly $2,000 cost. Their first stand on April 30 pulled in about $400 — but they weren’t done yet. Christi Trinder, mother of 9-yearold Tessa Trinder, had posted about the girls’ first lemonade stand on Nextdoor, a social-media website for residents of a common area, which propelled the girls’ project further. “We had people come to the stand just because of my Nextdoor post,” Christi Trinder, 43, said. “The community is a part of this just as much as the girls and the school.” She noticed that Nextdoor was host-

COURTESY PHOTO ing a contest called the “10 Sweetest Lemonade Stands,” and she entered the girls’ story in hopes that their next stand would be recognized. Nextdoor “was inspired by the girls’ commitment and dedication to helping their local community and chose their stand as one of just 10 across the country to recognize and support,” according to Jen Burke, director of
local-media relations for the site. That recognition scored them a lemonade-stand kit, including pitchers, cups, lemonade mix, balloons and a sign indicating the support by Nextdoor. The girls held a second stand on June 23 that raised $1,225 at that stand alone, and Nextdoor donated $500 on top of that. Along the way, the girls learned
about organizing and had some fun, to boot. After hearing about the need for a water-bottle refill system from the principal, the girls decided to meet with her and later met with their teacher, Cheryl Fleming, and parents to work out the details, Christi Trinder said. “I loved the giggles, laughter and friendship bond they made stronger through both lemonade stands,” she said. “They learned that they can make a difference even with something as simple as a lemonade stand.” The top 10 lemonade stands in Nextdoor’s contest were chosen from a competition among users on the site, and their kids, who have used the site to spread the word about their stands. Hundreds of lemonade-stand creators entered, according to Burke, and Nextdoor employees judged them based on creativity, community involvement, passion and inspiration for the charitable cause they were supporting. The site also releases an annual list of top cities for lemonade stands — based on the amount of conversations about stands shared among neighbors on the site — and Centennial made the top 10 at number three. “We hope by recognizing and supporting these stands,” Burke said, “we can inspire other little philanthropists to do the same in their own communities.”

Coffman addresses family separations after border visit Aurora congressman ‘alarmed at alphabet soup’ of agencies involved BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman visited a facility near the U.S.-Mexico border that holds migrant minors on the heels of pushback to policy by President Donald Trump’s administration that resulted in children and families being separated at the border. In recent weeks, separations occurred under the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy, under which children have been held in separate facilities while parents awaited prosecution for having entered the country illegally. The change began in April, when Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the policy to prosecute as many bordercrossing offenses as possible. But President Donald Trump’s administration reversed course with a June 20 executive order that aims to detain and hold migrant families together, instead of separating children from their families during the process. Coffman, R-Aurora, recently visited an unaccompanied-minor children (UAC) facility in Tornillo, Texas, with officials from the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a news release. He was also briefed by local leadership from both the U.S. Border Patrol and the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations regarding CBP’s operations. Coffman represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional District, which includes Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch,
Littleton and parts of Adams County, among other areas. A few days after his trip, he answered some questions about the experience on June 27. What were you most surprised at seeing at the facility you visited? I was alarmed that there is an alphabet soup of federal agencies under the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice and the Department of Human Services in charge of various phases of the process from detaining, separating and caring for these children. I’m deeply concerned that it will be difficult for this fragmented bureaucracy to effectively reunite these families in a timely manner. That’s why I’m advocating for a single individual, preferably a Marine Corps general, to take charge of pushing these agencies to work together to get these children back with their parents. What is the process for reunifying the children who have been separated from parents? A federal judge in California has just issued an order that families be reunited within 30 days and that children under 5 be back with their parents within 14 days. When I was in El Paso, Texas, the Department of Human Services, which is responsible for caring for the separated children, assured me that they know where all of the children and their respective parents are currently located. However, I’m still not confident that they have a process in place to reunite these families on a timely basis since they have moved the youngest children, who require child-care providers, all over the U.S. SEE COFFMAN, P6
DeGette discusses border visit, immigration facilities Denver congresswoman spoke with migrants separated from their children BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette traveled to the nation’s border with Mexico amid pushback to a policy by President Donald Trump’s administration that resulted in families being separated at the border. In recent weeks, separations occurred under the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy, under which children have been held in separate facilities while parents awaited prosecution for having entered the country illegally. The change began in April, when Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the policy to prosecute as many border-crossing offenses as possible. But the Trump administration reversed course with a June 20 executive order that aims to detain and hold migrant families together, instead of separating children from their families during the process. DeGette, D-Denver, visited on June 23 a “tender-age” facility — for those younger than 13 — where children separated from their parents are held, according to a news release. She also took part in a group of more than two dozen House members who visited a border-patrol station, a processing center for arrested migrants and a detention center, all in or near McAllen, Texas. The same day, DeGette crossed the Gateway International Bridge in Brownsville, Texas, and spoke with
people hoping to enter the country, the release said. The tender-age facility she visited, Casa Presidente, also sits in Brownsville. DeGette represents Colorado’s 1st Congressional District, which includes Denver and Englewood, among other parts of the metro area. She answered some questions about the experience June 28.
What were you most surprised at seeing at the facilities you visited? The first thing that struck me on entering the immigrant-processing center in McAllen, Texas, was the desperation: Hundreds of people, scooped up by U.S. Border Patrol agents after arduous treks from Central American countries, most of them fleeing gang violence and drug cartels. The most disturbing thing I saw was a group of 45 refugee women at the detention center in Port Isabel, Texas, who had been separated from their children under the “zero-tolerance” policy. We spoke at length — many didn’t know where their kids were, and even the ones who did could only talk to them once a week. Two were breastfeeding and had their babies taken. What is the process for reunifying the children who have been separated from parents? There isn’t a clearly defined process in place to achieve this, which is a major cause of the suffering taking place. There has not been enough coordination among federal agencies to ensure a smooth return of these children to their parents’ arms. SEE DEGETTE, P6

Primary shows signs of push by Democrats Causes include unaffiliated voters tilting left, Trump energizing Dems, pundits say BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Is a 134,000-vote advantage enough for a “blue wave”? That’s how much the Democratic votes outpaced the Republicans in the race for governor in the June 26 primary election, according to unofficial results from the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office. Polis And in the first primary in Colorado history to allow unaffiliated voters to cast ballots, they leaned heavily for the Democratic candiStapleton dates. It happened in a race with no shortage of polarization — Republican Walker Stapleton and Democrat Jared Polis ran away with their parties’ governor races, Polis winning by nearly 20 percentage points and Stapleton by about 18. With Stapleton touting his support for President Donald Trump and Polis pushing for a 100 percent green-energy state by 2040, the pair focused their appeal more toward the fringe rather

than moderate voters. Only able to choose one party’s ballot by law, unaffiliated voters turned in more Democratic ballots than Republican ballots by about 25 percentage points — about a 3-to-2 ratio — based on numbers June 27 from the secretary of state. Democrats also outnumbered Republicans among affiliated voters who participated, showing an advantage of about 6 percentage points. “I think those two things show us a Democratic intensity right now,” said Dick Wadhams, political strategist and former chair of the Colorado Republican Party. Asked whether the Democrats’ advantage is due to reactions to President Donald Trump or to state issues, Wadhams said, “I think it goes almost totally to opposition to President Trump within the Democratic Party.” ‘Cause for concern’ In the overall ballot count, unaffiliated voters chose the Democrat ballot over the Republican by about 65,000 — 162,700 to 97,500 — as of mid-afternoon June 27.

Have children or parents who have been separated been taken to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Aurora, or anywhere else in Colorado? The Department of Homeland Security has informed my office that there are no separated children held in the DHS/ICE facilities in Colorado. I’m scheduled to visit the ICE detention facility in Aurora (in early July). How is this affecting negotiations on immigration-related bills in Congress? I believe that the president’s advisers determined that by uniformly prosecuting everyone who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally, a deterrent effect would be
DEGETTE
created to reduce the level of illegal border crossings. However, they miscalculated because of an earlier court decision that does not allow children to remain with their parents for more than 20 days when they are held in detention for purposes of being prosecuted for illegally crossing the border … This created a humanitarian disaster by forcibly separating the children from their parents, that should have been anticipated. I have since called for the firing of Stephen Miller, the president’s key adviser on immigration issues.
FROM PAGE 4
The court order issued June 26 requiring reunification of all separated families means we need a better system in place immediately. To achieve this, I’m calling for the creation of an “Immigration Czar” position in the administration to oversee a seamless, efficient and fast reunification effort from beginning to end. Have children or parents who have been separated been taken to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Aurora, or anywhere else in Colorado? During my visit to this facility, I was told that there are around 50 detainees there who have been separated from their families under the “zero-tolerance” campaign. I’m against their transfer to the Aurora facility or any other detention center as a result of this cruel campaign.
What is the most important next step for you and for Congress regarding the zero-tolerance policy? I will soon vote for legislation that will provide a way for the families to remain together while held in a detention setting.
How is this affecting negotiations on immigration-related bills in Congress? There has been broad condemnation of “zero tolerance” and a demand to change our laws, but Republican leaders continue to drag their feet on putting important immigration bills up for a vote. The president is absolutely using these kids as a bargaining chip, making it even more difficult to achieve these reforms. What is the most important next step for you and for Congress regarding the zero-tolerance policy? I’m putting pressure on Congress to immediately pass the Keep Families Together Act, legislation I’ve sponsored that would reunite these families and prevent further separations. The president’s executive order is a meager excuse for a solution to the crisis we are facing. I’m also continuing to call for the resignation of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who oversaw this cruel campaign and lied about its existence. She has harmed these families, broken the public trust and is unfit to serve our country in this or any capacity.

Republicans by about 53,700 ballots as of that time. “I just have this feeling that behind some of this increase in numbers might be blowback from the irritation with the constant flow of rhetoric” from Trump, said John Straayer, former professor of political science at Colorado State University. From immigration issues to the constant “Tweetstorm” bashing various targets, Trump may be sparking opposition that “may be lighting a fire under folks saying ‘I’ve had enough,’” Straayer said. In some state Senate and state House races, there appears to be a “significant leap” in Democratic votes, with a marginal increase in Republican votes, compared to in 2014, Straayer said. “How that’ll wash out in the fall, I don’t know, but looking at these numbers, if I were a Republican strategist, I’d be worried,” Straayer said. Some of the disparity in the votes for governor could be due to the Democrats having a more interesting race, said Eric Sondermann, a Colorado political analyst who founded the Denver communications agency SE2, which does marketing related to public policy and opinion. And parties out of power “tend to have more momentum,” Sondermann said. “It doesn’t determine what’ll happen in November, but I’d rather be holding the Democratic cards than the Republican cards right now. “It has to be cause for concern,” he added. Unaffiliated voters gained the ability to vote in primaries after the passage of Proposition 108 in 2016. They made a sizable showing, but their influence may have only tipped close races — like attorney general for Democrats, or treasurer for Republicans, but not the governor’s race — Sondermann said. It’s difficult to know if unaffiliated voters voted differently from those registered with a party on the respective ballots because of a lack of exit polling, Sondermann said. Looking to November Primaries on both sides got “pretty ugly,” Straayer said. “And I expect the general election to be equally unattractive.” It remains to be seen whether Polis, the U.S. congressman from Boulder, and Stapleton, current state treasurer, will pivot to more moderate voters, but Straayer outlined the battles the two are likely to fight. Polis “has talked about free kindergarten and universal health care, so I suspect the Republicans will try to paint Polis as the guy who’s gonna rob your wallet,” Straayer said. Stapleton and his party are “pretty much locked down” on a “hardcore fiscal conservative posture” that leaves little room for addressing concerns with funding for transportation, higher education, health care, K-12 school and other issues, Straayer said. Wadhams said neither candidate can afford to keep appealing only to their bases. The candidate who can connect with voters on issues like transporta-
WHAT THEY’VE RAISED Fundraising totals for candidates for three statewide offices based on data from the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office in late June: Governor • *Jared Polis, Democrat: $11.5 million • Walker Stapleton, Republican: $2.1 million *Polis has largely self-funded his campaign. Attorney general • Phil Weiser, Democrat: $1.4 million • George Brauchler, Republican: $360,000 Treasurer • Brian Watson, Republican: $300,000 • Dave Young, Democrat: $100,000 tion and education will win, he said. “I think it’s up for grabs,” Wadhams added. Polis, a wealthy businessman who founded several companies, had raised about $11.5 million in campaign funds as of June — compared to Stapleton’s $2.1 million — but Wadhams and Straayer said money won’t be a decider. “I anticipate that Stapleton will be outspent by Polis (overall) but will still raise enough to be competitive,” Wadhams said. Straayer said the money between the candidates will likely even out as November approaches. Polis would be the first openly gay man elected governor in the nation, and Straayer wondered if Republicans would raise that as an issue. “It’s delicate to go after,” he said, adding it would have a “horrible boomerang effect” and would need to be “handled under the radar” if Republicans were to make Polis’ sexual orientation a point of contention. Meanwhile, downballot ... Phil Weiser, a former dean of the University of Colorado Law School and a former deputy assistant attorney general for the U.S. Department of Justice, pulled off an unexpected and tight win against state Rep. Joe Salazar of Thornton — an avowed progressive — for the Democratic candidacy for attorney general. His victory “speaks to the power of money and television,” Sondermann said. “No matter how much people talk grassroots, social media, ground game — money and TV still rule.” Weiser, who pulled an endorsement from Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, may have a formidable fight ahead against 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, Wadhams said, adding that Colorado has been known to elect governors and attorneys general of opposing parties. “These are two smart guys,” he said. “I think (Brauchler) is one of the best speakers and debaters in the Republican Party and in the state.” He was the lead prosecutor in the Aurora theatershooting case. For state treasurer, Democratic state Rep. Dave Young, and Republican realestate CEO Brian Watson, managed the win — Young decisively, Watson thinly — in a race that will carry on with low name recognition. But, Wadhams said, every treasurer in Colorado for about four decades has either ran for, or been elected to, higher office. Treasurer may be an “obscure office,” he said, but it may be one to watch for future ambition.

July 6, 2018 Upward of 400,000 volts fly from Matt Crabtree’s homemade Tesla coil during a demonstration outside the Brew on Broadway on June 25. DAVID GILBERT
Englewood’s own mad scientist conjured lightning on June 25, lighting the night before an awestruck crowd. Matt Crabtree, the president of the Englewood Historic Preservation Society, demonstrated his homebuilt Tesla coil on a patio beside the Brew on Broadway, carrying on the work of Nikola Tesla, the visionary electrical inventor who once sought to power the world from a laboratory in Colorado Springs. Crabtree, an electrical engineer, spent eight months constructing a Tesla coil — its namesake’s most famous creation — which Tesla once theorized could be used to transmit electrical power around the world through the atmosphere and the earth itself. The device, standing about five feet high, crackled to life as Crabtree cranked the dial higher and higher, firing 400,000 volts in purple arcs powerful enough to wirelessly light nearby fluorescent bulbs. “Building a Tesla coil made me feel connected to Tesla himself,” Crabtree said. “There’s an element of experimentation — you don’t know what’s

going to happen when you turn it on. What was Tesla thinking and feeling the first time he fired his up?” Crabtree’s demonstration followed a talk on Tesla’s life and work. Tesla, born in 1856 in what is now Croatia, developed revolutionary methods of electricity generation and transmission, including polyphase alternating current — the method now used to power the world. Tesla performed his most astonishing experiments in Colorado Springs in 1899, building a Tesla coil so powerful its bolts could be seen from many miles distant. Fierce competition in the early days of electrification saw Tesla robbed of recognition, however, and he died in alone in obscurity in a New York hotel in 1943. Stories and legends have abounded in the years since his death that the mysterious inventor developed fantastical inventions that were quashed by jealous rivals or wary governments. Crabtree said he’ll likely donate his device to the Englewood Historic Preservation Socierty, to be used in future demonstrations. Tesla’s life has lessons for people today, Crabtree said. “Tesla wasn’t held back by what people said he couldn’t do,” Crabtree said. “He dreamed big and was devoted to his cause. He was overlooked for so long, but today people are beginning to rediscover what an amazing man he was.”

U.S. approves pot-based drug to treat rare seizures Epidiolex is purified, predictable form of variable ‘CBD’ product BY MATTHEW PERRONE ASSOCIATED PRESS
U.S. health regulators have approved the first prescription drug made from marijuana, a milestone that could spur more research into a drug that remains illegal under federal law, despite growing legalization for recreational and medical use. The Food and Drug Administration approved the medication, called Epidiolex, to treat two rare forms of epilepsy that begin in childhood. But it’s not quite medical marijuana. The strawberry-flavored syrup is a purified form of a chemical ingredient
found in the cannabis plant — but not the one that gets users high. It’s not yet clear why the ingredient, called cannabidiol, or CBD, reduces seizures in some people with epilepsy. British drugmaker GW Pharmaceuticals studied the drug in more than 500 children and adults with hard-totreat seizures, overcoming numerous legal hurdles that have long stymied research into cannabis. FDA officials said the drug reduced seizures when combined with older epilepsy drugs. The FDA has previously approved synthetic versions of another cannabis ingredient for medical use, including severe weight loss in patients with HIV. Epidiolex is essentially a pharmaceutical-grade version CBD oil, which some parents already use to treat children with epilepsy. CBD is one of more than 100 chemicals found in marijuana. But it doesn’t contain
THC, the ingredient that gives marijuana its mind-altering effect. Physicians say it’s important to have a consistent, government-regulated version. “I’m really happy we have a product that will be much cleaner and one that I know what it is,” said Dr. Ellaine Wirrell, director of the Mayo Clinic’s program for childhood epilepsy. “In the artisanal products there’s often a huge variation in doses from bottle to bottle depending on where you get it.” Side effects with the drug include diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue and sleep problems. Several years ago, Allison Hendershot considered relocating her family to Colorado, one of the first states to legalize marijuana and home to a large network of CBD producers and providers. Her 13-year-old daughter, Molly, has suffered from severe seizures since she was 4 months old. But
then Hendershot learned about a trial of Epidiolex at New York University. “I preferred this to some of those other options because it’s is a commercial product that has gone through rigorous testing,” said Hendershot, who lives in Rochester, New York. Since receiving Epidiolex, Hendershot says her daughter has been able to concentrate more and has had fewer “drop” seizures — in which her entire body goes limp and collapses. CBD oil is currently sold online and in specialty shops across the U.S., though its legal status remains murky. Most producers say their oil is made from hemp, a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant that contains little THC and can be legally farmed in a number of states for clothing, food and other uses.

The immediate impact of the June 25 approval on these products is unclear. FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb suggested the agency would be scrutinizing CBD products with “uncertain dosages and formulations.” “We are prepared to take action when we see the illegal marketing of CBD-containing products with serious, unproven medical claims,” Gottlieb said in a statement. The FDA previously issued warnings to CBD producers that claimed their products could treat specific diseases, such as cancer or Alzheimer’s. Only products that have received formal FDA approval can make such claims, typically requiring clinical trials costing millions. Most CBD producers sidestep the
issue by making only broad claims about general health and wellbeing. Industry supporters downplayed the impact of the FDA approval. “I don’t know a mom or dad in their right mind who is going to change what’s already working,” said Heather Jackson, CEO of Realm of Caring, a charitable group affiliated with Coloradobased CW Hemp, one of nation’s largest CBD companies. “I really don’t think it’s going to affect us much.” Jackson’s group estimates the typical family using CBD to treat childhood epilepsy spends about $1,800 per year on the substance. A GW Pharmaceuticals spokeswoman said the company would not immediately announce a price for the drug, which it expects to launch in the fall. Wall Street analysts have previously predicted it could cost $25,000 per year, with annual sales eventually reaching $1 billion.

VOICES
Away we roll in beauty and wonder
ennifer, Harry, and I went on a road trip. Don’t yawn. Yet. We looped from Littleton to Salida to Monte Vista to Durango to Mesa Verde to Telluride to Gunnison to Littleton, and stopped along the way in the 1940s, the 1950s, and the 1960s. Road trips were common in the 1950s. Thank or blame President Eisenhower and his authorization of the Interstate Highway System in 1956, although he didn’t do it for fathers, mothers, their kids, or Stuckey’s, but that’s how it turned out. It was during the Cold War, and Eisenhower thought large cities
would be military targets. An interstate highway system would “facilitate their QUIET evacuation and DESPERATION ease military maneuvers” (Wikipedia). Stop yawning. This is meaningful, if you care about traveling without going through security checkpoints and being told to take Craig Marshall off your shoes. I have a few tips: Smith Go with someone you love (as I did), or don’t go. It’s
hour after hour, and no amount of beautiful scenery — and that’s what Colorado amounts to — will make it bearable if you have someone in the car who is listless, lifeless, disengaging, or is a sign reader. Don’t try the road trip we took in an automobile that isn’t fit. The roads themselves wind and climb, and the drivers, many of them, think it’s a Japanese touge race, especially guys in Dodge Rams. I said we saw the 1940s. For that, try Saguache. For the 1950s, try Ridgway. For the 1960s, try Gunnison. SEE SMITH, P13

We stand behind Capital Gazette, journalism
M
y to-do list can feel overwhelming. But it’s not important. Not when journalists are being shot down in the newsroom in the Capital Gazette in Annapolis. My heart breaks for the victims’ families and friends, and I have to say something. Throughout our country’s history, the press and its role have had champions and critics, and this is as it should be. The press was given tremendous responsibility and was a priority of our Founding Fathers, who placed it in the First Amendment along GUEST with Freedom of Speech COLUMN and Religion. But times have changed. We have moved into a postmodern world, in which — for many — there is no truth but only the truth that fits their narrative. We create our own thought bubbles through social media and friends. Too many of us are seeking Jerry Raehal the truth we want to believe as opposed to what is there. I see this happening on all sides of the political spectrum. That is the opposite of what real journalists do. We are the mirror, showing the good, bad and the ugly (hopefully without being ugly). When the press is wrong, critics are right to point it out. But the problem is critics now often refer to anything they disagree with as “Fake News,” and then go on to cite some other, not-always-reliable, source. I’ve always advocated that newspapers and the press should not bristle at criticism but accept it and learn from it. We have broad shoulders. We can handle it. But it has gone too far. A line in the Baltimore Sun editorial summed up what I’ve been thinking: “That’s why so many reporters across the nation got a sickening feeling Thursday afternoon — they couldn’t believe something like this had happened, except that they could.” So if you’re not a journalist and reading this, let me tell you what I’ve learned about

t happens to all of us at some point. We could be traveling, commuting to work, at a meeting, or headed out to dinner when we realize that we forgot to charge our phones, our tablets, or our laptops. Then we have that moment of panic as we feel disconnected from the world. For whatever reason, it just didn’t get done, we forgot our charger, we left without the international adapter, we forgot to plug them in and recharge, we WINNING left our alternate WORDS source of power somewhere else, or we thought we had charged our devices sufficiently, but we just used whatever energy and power we had stored up. And now we find ourselves stranded Michael Norton without any connection. Has it ever happened to you personally, energy level is low and getting lower, power supply drained, and nowhere to plug in? And when we are in low-energy mode or our source of power feels like it is used up, doesn’t it feel like we are disconnected from the world too? It happens to me for sure, sometimes I just run down my own battery so low, I need to plug in and power up. So, what does drain our batteries and our energy? When is it that we find ourselves tapping out and tired? And then how do we recharge and reenergize ourselves? Well, I believe the first question is
SMITH FROM PAGE 12
The highlight of the trip, and one of the highlights of my lifetime, was Mesa Verde. The day started in Durango, where we dropped off Harry at a daycare, and then ate breakfast at Durango Diner on Main Avenue. The manager, an endearing character named Gary, had been invited to appear on “Chopped,” but declined. The program’s coordinator couldn’t believe it. You will have to discover Gary’s reasoning for yourself. In 2018, when relentless self-promotion is everywhere, Gary is a soldier of originality. My abilities as a writer are up against it when it comes to Mesa Verde. It was my fourth time, and Jennifer’s first. It is a treasure, a place of contemplation, mystery and beauty. Inconceivably, Ancestral Pueblo people made it their home, living in precarious cliff dwellings, from AD 600 to 1300. On December 18, 1888, a couple of men who were looking for lost cattle with a Ute guide discovered Cliff Palace. The rest of the park’s history is best reported elsewhere.
the most important, what is sucking the life from our personal power source? What we need to do is identify what gives us energy and what drains us of our energy. For me, tedious projects, negative people, drama and administrative tasks all sap my energy. I am just not a detail-oriented guy; pessimism and negativity have no place in my life; people who bring drama and problems that they really don’t want solved take way too much time and energy; and paperwork like reports, expenses and filling out forms are energy-killers for sure. Now let’s talk about what gets me fired up and recharged. Hope, creativity, positive people, teamwork, family time, reading, church, speaking, training, coaching and watching other people grow. Being a difference maker in someone’s life is one of the things that really gets me re-energized and ready to go and ready to grow myself. So, when I am feeling low energy levels or need a recharge, I reach out to positive people in my life, I send a text or make a call to my family, I tap into creativity to write a column, short story, or poem, I remember why I am so hopeful and that hope is such a great activator of power, or I go deeper into my Bible study and prayer group. It’s like looking down at my phone and I see that I only have 7 percent battery life left, and then all I need to do is plug into one of the things that motivates me and re-energizes me, and the next thing I know I am back up at 100 percent.

them in the 15 years in the industry — either on the frontlines as a reporter, in management, or working at the Press Association. We are not the enemy of the people. Yes, we make mistakes. When we make mistakes — which is about the only job in the world where you cannot hide from them — we publicly correct them. And for most journalists, they rarely need to make corrections, because they’ve been trained in reporting, sourcing, best practices and ethics. More importantly, we care. The coverage journalists provide is not for a paycheck or fame. We do our job — even in harm’s way — to keep our community informed; our forefathers knew that an informed community is needed for our re-
public to survive. Beyond coverage, many newspapers volunteer time and money. They. Are. Here. For. The. People. They are the people. If you’re a journalist or someone working at a news organization, I simply want to say thank you. The very fabric of our country depends on what you do. An attack on a newspaper is an attack on our Republic and constitution. I’m confident that while these are scary times, we will stand tall. We need to look no further than the Capital Gazette in the wake of the tragedy, as reporter Chase Cook tweeted, “We are putting out a damn paper tomorrow.” And they did. We stand united with Capital Gazette, providing coverage in good and bad times, because it’s right for our communities and for our country. Jerry Raehal is the CEO of the Colorado Press Association.

There are several dwelling tours. My favorite is Cliff Palace. You have to schedule a tour, and you can’t schedule online. They don’t overbook, like Delta. Each tour (55 people) is led by a ranger. Matt led ours. He was eloquent and informed and respectful of the park and its significance. He asked us to take a moment of silence, just look at the dwellings, and then volunteer a single word that came to mind. Of course, some park visitors showed up in flip-flops and prom dresses, and took cellphone photos endlessly, without looking at what they were looking at. The access and egress are almost incomprehensibly difficult. The steps are irregular and crumbing, spaces between boulders for passage are not passable if you are Hardy rather than Laurel, and the vertical exit ladder is something only a SEAL could love. If you’re wondering, Harry had a great time. For some reason, he was particularly fond of the Dennis Weaver Memorial Park in Ridgway, primarily the trees.

Water World remains massive draw in metro Denver BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
T
here are about 97 days between Memorial Day and Labor Day this year, which means there’s a good chance residents are going to need to find ways to beat the heat several times as the summer goes on. Luckily, most communities have the perfect way to stay cool — water features. Whether it’s a splash pad and outdoor at places like Centennial, Littleton or Golden or massive water parks like Hyland Hills’ Water World in Federal Heights, there’s something for every age to enjoy and cool off. “As we went through our master plan update process, we discovered how important water features are to our residents,” said Allison Scheck, public engagement and operations manager with Lakewood. “Not only do they provide release from the heat, but they can be affordable options for families to get together and play.” Splash pads — water features in public places that don’t feature much standing water and include fountain sprayers and other active water features - can be found in popular city locations like Englewood’s civic center or Olde Town Arvada, but many communities are going above and beyond with their pads. The Foothills Park and Recreation District, located in the southern region of Jefferson County, recently unveiled a newly renovated Clement Park Splash Park. The original water fountain at the location was built in 1987, so in its new form, it now includes Colorado elements such as boulders, water curtains, and a creek-like waterway, as well as new shelters that will be available for rental in order to accommodate birthday parties and gatherings.
Riders get some thrills at one of Water World’s rides named after a Colorado river. CLARKE READER “The response from our community has been overwhelming, especially after two years of preparation,” said Ron Hopp, executive director of Foothills. “It’s a free option for people that gets them out enjoying the outdoors.” Located in Centennial Center Park, the city of Centennial has an award-winning splash pad that, along with the rest of the park, is a state-wide draw, according to Allison Wittern, public information manager with the city. She said children from all over the metro area are bused in during the summer to splash around. In addition to three ever-popular outdoor pools at three of its recreation centers, Lakewood also has the Ray Ross Splash Pad and Surfside Spray Park, the latter of which is the city’s newest water feature and has been growing in popularity every year. “Whenever people discover Surfside, they can’t believe it,” Scheck said. Of course, no article on aquatic entertainment would be complete without mentioning the state’s — and indeed, one of the country’s — largest water park, Water World. Located on 64 acres and featuring more than 50 attractions, including the brand-new Glacier Run, the park has drawn in more than 15 million people in its 39 years of operation. And 2018 is

Picture yourself in an oil painting
A
s someone who has visited countless art galleries over the years, a common question I have is what it takes to be a model for one of these artworks. Who has that special something that inspires an artist to take up their brush and create? For local artists Jonathan Saiz and Wes Magyar’s 7,000 COMING Reasons Pop-Up ATTRACTIONS Project, all it takes is $143 and a desire to commemorate oneself or something one loves in an oil painting. “The contemporary art world and society as a whole has become so cynical” Magyar Clarke Reader said. “We wanted to do something joyful and optimistic, and these oneof-a-kind commissioned works seem like a good place to start.” The pair partnered with the Arvada Center to help the project get to its goal of creating 7,000 7-inch by 7-inch oil paintings over the course of seven months. Paintings are $143 and orders are being taken through Aug. 11. Completed portraits will be on display during a special pop-up exhibition at the Arvada Center through Nov. 11. “A lot of people want their pets painted first, and then end up wanting to add others,” Saiz said. “We just want a variety of people to realize that contemporary art is being created for them, not for rich collectors in big cities.” Some of the portraits are already on display at the center, and subjects include a couple adorable dogs and curator Collin Parson’s new son. “As a recent new father, I immediately thought an original portrait of our new son would be a great gift for my wife as I saw Wes and Jon’s 7,000 Reasons project online,” Parson explained. “She immediately burst into tears when I gave it to her, and thought: “What if we can bring as much joy to Arvada Center patrons and their loved ones? We’re excited to have the project here, as it’s truly accessible and so optimistic.” To purchase a portrait and for more information, visit the center at 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., 720-8987200 or visit www.arvadacenter. org/7000reasons.

Young drivers put pedal to the metal at Bandimere More than 100 junior dragsters compete at divisional competition BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ashley Boswick lowers herself into the cockpit of her car as she waits her turn on the starting line at the June 23 session of the Division 5 Junior Dragster Championship races at Bandimere Speedway. The Centennial resident was among 122 drivers who competed in the races. TOM MUNDS 35 horsepower and his son can hit speeds of about 70 mph from a standing start to the finish line of the oneeighth-mile course. “Most of the cars are very equal,” he said. “So we spend a lot of time tuning the engine so it runs well and then it is all up to Jay to have a good reaction time so he comes off the starting line as quickly as possible after the drivers get the green light. The reaction time
Jason said junior dragster racing isn’t inexpensive. He said the car his son drives cost a little over $10,000 and the most expensive part of the car is the racing engine built for junior dragster competition. He also noted that to compete in the races you need a trailer to haul the car, spare parts and tools as well, as a vehicle that can adequately pull the trailer. He said the engine generates about

The pop-pop-pop of the one-cylinder engines filled the air as young drivers waited to be called to the starting line during the June 23 Junior Dragster Division Championships at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. Jay Everhart sat in the lane waiting his turn to pull to the starting line during time trials. “I got interested in competing in junior dragsters to follow my dad who used to compete in drag racing,” the Centennial 13-year-old said. “I loved it the first time I pulled to the starting line. Racing relaxes me and I like going fast. ” The ThunderRidge Middle School student said he felt good and the car was running well so he felt he would do well in the competition. His dad, Jason, said he is having fun watching his son race. “I competed in drag racing years ago in the head-up street categories,” he said. “I was a little surprised when Jay wanted to compete in junior dragsters. It is fun for him and I enjoy being here and spending time with Jay, helping him to compete in a sport he enjoys.”

to the green light is often what wins races.” This is the last year of junior dragster racing for 18-year-old Ashley Bostwick. “I have been racing for four years and I got into the competition to continue a family tradition, because my dad has been drag racing since 1995 and my grandpa has been drag racing since 1976,” the Littleton resident said. “I like the family atmosphere at the junior drag racing events, I like the friendly competition and I like the opportunity to improve my skills doing something I love so much.” She said she also drag races her 1988 Mustang in the high school class. She said her plans are to make it into a faster drag racing car so she can compete in other divisions. Junior dragster drivers range in age from 5 to 17 years old. The field is divided into age groups to make the competition as fair as possible. At the June 22-23 races there were three in the division for 6- and 7-year-olds, 19 in the 8- and 9-year-old division, 45 in the 10- and 11-year-old division, 23 in the 13- and 14-year-old division and 21 in the 15- to 17-year-old division. The races are single-elimination competitions as the cars go head-tohead. The cars leave the starting line based on “dial-in times” determined by best performances in earlier time trials. The car that has a slower dial-in leaves the starting line first. However, a driver may lose the race if he or she runs faster than the dial-in. Families from Colorado and surrounding states attended the June 2223 races. The pit area was lined with white vehicle trailers, some pulled by pickups and some by motor homes. Some of the vehicle trailers were large enough to hold two cars as well as the tools, spare parts and equipment. Sam Wilson, his wife, his son and his daughter drove in from Iowa. “Both my son and daughter race so we make the events a family outing,” he said as he tuned the engine on his son’s car. “This is our first time at this race so we will be staying to make it like a short vacation. We have tickets for a Colorado Rockies game and we are looking forward to that.”

Museum Outdoor Arts does great job of making do Exhibit fell through, so items from collection came to the rescue BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
What does a museum do when a projected exhibit falls through for one reason or another? If it’s an institution with a rich collection, it can craft a different exhibit by pulling a selection of varied, but harmonious, objects from its collection in storage. While objects from the Museum Outdoor Arts appear outside the Indoor Gallery space in the Englewood Civic Center in most directions, with sculptures around the fountain and tucked along surrounding streets, many more objects acquired during the MOA’s active 37-year history are carefully stored in the permanent collection vault. A summer exhibit of works by the well-known American painter Robert Rauschenberg was postponed when one collector was not able to loan the items expected at this time. (Rescheduled in 2020.) In short order, the MOA staff mounted an interesting assortment of items it owns, with a good eye for arranging them to draw attention to differing colors, textures, 28 artists’ distinctive visions … Included: Chandler Romeo, Patricia Aaron, Barbara Takenaga, Todd Siler, Craig Marshall Smith, Daniel Sprick and more ... And, the gallery floor has been stripped to the original concrete and polished, which affects the overall look as it reflects light. This sampling of the collection will hang until Aug. 3 and includes enlarged snapshots of MOA events through the years, hung in the spacious Atrium Gallery. Then a collection of work Englewood’s Civic Center began life as a department store when the surrounding area was Cinderella City Shopping Center, and the city wisely had the building retrofitted to hold its
IF YOU GO The Museum Outdoor Arts Indoor Gallery is at the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway, second floor. The exhibit from the MOA collection runs through Aug. 3.

Admission is free, although the “Natura Obscura” exhibit will be ticketed. municipal offices, as well as the library and additional space that became a gallery, studio, concert hall and more — a wonderful cultural addition to the city, which also has special musical programs for children and adults. In the meanwhile, there’s a lot of action going on in the spacious art studios at the rear, not seen by the public. For many years, the MOA has hosted a program for younger pre-professional artists, called “Design and Build.” Headed each year by a master teacher, it enrolls about a dozen college art students for an eight-week daily program with a modest stipend. They will pursue an agreed-upon program, which in the past has resulted in a late summer/early fall exhibit of highly original works on a theme. However, this summer, a talented group of young artists is working on textures and assorted elements of an upcoming major immersive exhibit called “Natura Obscura,” to open in Jan. 2019. Museum spokesman Tim Vacca refers us to the concept of the “Meow Wolf ” collective/exhibit that opened in Santa Fe a couple years ago and remains a major attraction. (Meow Wolf is projected to have a space in Denver in the fairly near future.) One walks into a space filled with art and objects and sounds that tell a story as one proceeds, in search of this and that ... Hard to describe, but my family that ranged from a toddler to teens to assorted adults, including this ancient woman, all truly had a wonderful experience exploring it as part of a family reunion in Santa Fe. This is exciting news. We look forward to visiting those students again soon and reporting more about what magic is transpiring.

Master gardeners give green light to growing Experts share tips for raising plants in Colorado BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Master Gardener Ashley Cleveland thins carrots in Hudson Gardens’ raised veggie beds. PHOTOS BY DAVID GILBERT
Anyone who’s tried to grow so much as a tomato in Colorado knows how tricky gardening can be here. Thankfully, gardeners flummoxed by the difficulties of mile-high growing can stop by Littleton’s Hudson Gardens to lean on the expertise of the Master Gardeners of Colorado State University’s County Extension program. A team of dedicated gardeners, trained and certified by the university’s Arapahoe County Extension office, nurtures and maintains Hudson Gardens’ 23 raised vegetable and herb beds, and hosts twice-monthly “Meet the Gardeners” events through the end of September. “We grow the standard
things: tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, beets, carrots, beans and squash,” said Master Gardener Debbie Moody. “We also do some unusual stuff: artichokes, okra and kohlrabi, for instance. All our raised beds are at a height that’s comfortable for people in wheelchairs or who use walkers. We want to demonstrate that all kinds of people can garden at home.” The garden’s produce goes to the food bank at Integrated Family Community Services, Moody said. Master Gardeners undergo a rigorous process to earn their title, said Donna FarleyWade, who also helps maintain the garden. “We don’t give out opinion or our personal observations — none of that folklore stuff you hear a lot,” Farley-Wade said. “We do, however, have lots of evidence-based data to share. Stuff that’s been tested.” The Hudson Garden group’s goal is to connect as many people as possible with
Guests can visit Hudson Gardens twice a month to rub elbows with trained Master Gardeners. the joys of growing their own food, said Master Gardener Ashley Cleveland. “Everyone can garden in some way,” Cleveland said. “Even if you’re in an apartment, you can grow herbs, lettuce, or even just houseplants. Gardening is healing and grounding.”

WAY TO GROW Here are some tips for home gardeners as summer heats up, from the Colorado State University Arapahoe County Extension Master Gardeners who maintain the veggies and herbs of Hudson Gardens: Make sure to water consistently, preferably in the morning or evening. Fertilize tomatoes every two weeks until the fruits are two inches across, then stop. Prune tomatoes and make sure the plants have sturdy supports to hold the
weight of the fruits. Plant another round of quick-growing crops: carrots, radishes and beets, for example. Start seeds indoors of coldweather plants for fall, like broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Keep an eye out for pests and disease. Reaching out Hudson Gardens, at 6115 S. Santa Fe Drive in Littleton, will host the Master Gardeners from 9:30-11:30 a.m. on July 9 and 23, Aug.
6 and 20, and Sept. 10 and 24. Got tough gardening questions? You can call Arapahoe County’s Master Gardeners from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, or leave messages after hours, at 303-7301920. The Arapahoe County Extension office also offers classes — and Master Gardener certification — at their office at 6934 S. Lima St., Suite B, in Centennial.

“We’re a place that has so many amenities, including all kinds of food and cabana rental options, but it is important to us that those are optional,” she added. “We allow people to bring in their own food and drinks, so if a family simply wants to pay admission and not a dollar more, they don’t need to.” Water World is home to all manner of attractions, from child-friendly areas like Wally World and Turtle Bay to family-friendly experiences like Lost River of the Pharaohs and
Voyage to the Center of the Earth, as well more thrilling options like the Skyline Speed Slides. But what many people aren’t aware of is Water World is publicly owned, so all the money spent there goes to Hyland Hills’ many recreational sports offerings for children in the district. “We’re constantly evaluating ways we can improve things or change them to be more in line in with what people want,” Cortez said. “We bring money to community programs, local businesses benefit from all the visitors, and most importantly, we’ve provided countless memories to families over the years.”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Ray LaMontagne at Red Rocks There are artists who have been making solid music for years, and after their initial splash is made, listeners start to take them for granted. Folk-rock singer Ray LaMontagne is one of these artists. Since he released his debut in 2004, the New Hampshire-born troubadour with a voice that could stop a train in its track has gone beyond the heartbreaking acoustic tunes to more psychedelic rock. His latest album, “Part of the Light,” is one of his most cohesive and rockingest albums yet. Ray LaMontagne will be performing at Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway, at 7:30 p.m. on July 10. Opener Neko Case is the perfect partner for LaMontagne — she’s also been a fixture of the alternative music scene since the early 2000s, and in all that time she has kept her howling hurricane of a voice. She also released an album just a month ago, “Hell-On,” and it’s reliably great. Don’t miss the bulletproof bill — head over to www.redrocksonline. com for tickets. Up on the roof to help young people As Carole King and Gerry Goffin once wisely observed, “up on the roof/everything is all right.” That’s the same feeling attendees will experience at the Summer Soirée. Hosted by Speakeasy Soirée Entertainment, the Summer Soirée will be held on the rooftop patio of Cherry Creek’s Room and Board, 222 Detroit St. in Denver, from 7:30 p.m. to midnight on Sunday, July 15. The event will feature La Pompe Jazz and Banshee Tree performing original tunes and jazz classics,
Swingin’ Denver providing swing dance lessons and performances throughout the evening, and the party rounds out with signature craft cocktails, an assortment of samples from liquor and wine partners, and food from Illegal Pete’s. The best part? All proceeds benefit Youth on Record, a not-forprofit organization empowering Colorado’s underserved youth to achieve their academic, artistic and personal best by employing local, professional artists as their educators. For tickets, visit www.SpeakeasySoiree.com. Lend Miners Alley a ‘Tenor’ One of the greatest experiences a person can have with other people is laughing together, and that’s what theatrical farces excel in providing. Which means those looking for laughs this summer should start heading into Golden. Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave., is presenting Tony Award-winner “Lend Me A Tenor” as its summer show. Written by Ken Ludwig and directed by Warren Sherrill, the show runs from July 13 through Aug. 19. Performances are 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. Sundays. The show takes place during the biggest night in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. Before a performance of “Otello,” the production’s world-famous tenor goes missing, possibly due to troubles in his marriage. What follows is an evening of madcap fun. Tickets are available by calling 303-935-3044 or online at www.minersalley.com. Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he can be reached creader@coloradocommunitymedia. com.

Punter/kicker ranks nationally in sport of fencing
att Waid is a specialist. The senior-to-be will be the punter and place kicker for the Ponderosa football team this season and he is also a highly regarded fencer for the Fencing Academy of Denver. Obviously kickers have been labeled as specialists for OVERTIME many years in football and fencing isn’t a sport with loads of athletes waiting to sign up. Waid, the son of Parker Mayor Mike Waid, was the backup last season to Ponderosa’s Issac Power, who earned a Jim Benton scholarship to kick at Baylor. He practiced and played a lot with the junior varsity but got into five varsity games. He averaged 58.7 yards on seven kickoffs with two touchbacks. He averaged 38 yards on two punts with one going out inside the 20-yard line and was 3-for-3 on extra point kicks. “It was a little frustrating and it kind of always is when you’re not in the first spot,” admitted Waid. “But Issac is such an amazing punter and kicker and person. Kicking with Is-
“It is the thinking aspect of fencing that appeals to me. Especially at the higher levels ...” Matt Waid, Fencing Academy fencer sac, I gained so much. “Right now I’m working on consistency. I just want to be there consistently for the team. I just want to help out the team.” Waid ran a 5K with his mother a few years ago and was given a brochure about fencing. He figured it would be “cool” to try fencing and has developed into a top-quality fencer with a saber. There is so much movement in fencing that fitness is vital. Fencers must have good instincts to anticipate movements of opponents.
Fencing has been called a physical chess and a mental game. “I think I’m pretty good,” said Waid. “I’m nationally ranked. It is the thinking aspect of fencing that appeals to me. Especially at the higher levels, you really have to think about stuff and that is what separates you. “I’m definitely not the fastest or smartest person but felt like I could test myself in both aspects.” Waid could be heading to the Air Force Academy after graduation from Ponderosa, and if he becomes a Falcon then both aspects will again be tested. Sport physicals There are two remaining offerings for sport physical examinations for all Douglas County student district high school athletes. The first is from 8 a.m. until noon on July 28 at Panorama Orthopedics & Spine Center, 1060 Plaza Drive, #200, Highlands Ranch. To register go to www.trgrizzlies. org and then go to registrations and choose 2018 sports physical sign-up. All athletes must register. The second event is from 8-10:30 a.m. on Aug. 4 at Ponderosa High School, 7007 E. Bayou Gulch Road, Parker. To register go to www.signupgenius. com/go/5080d44a9a72fa75-ponderosa13.

Hall will be competing in the heptathlon. She set a national high school heptathlon record at the Great Southwest Classic on June 1 with 5,798 points.

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.
Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
