Racing ’hobby’ keeps him on track Centennial driver finishes second at Mile High Nationals By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Driving a race car more than 190 mph can be addictive, and J.J. Heber is hooked. Heber, a 39-year-old Centennial resident, leads the National Hot Rod Association’s Division 5 region Top Sportsman standings by 19 points over Jim White of Haysville, Kansas. “I’ve been doing this since high school,” said Heber, who is in the landscape business. “I’m addicted. It’s more addictive than anything else. It’s a hobby. We just do it as a family hobby, my mom and dad, wife and kids. I don’t make enough money to make it real. It gets expensive.” Heber, driving a 2006 Mustang, had one
of the best cars at the Mopar Mile High Nationals, but a bad reaction at the start of the July 26 title race against Longmont’s Ron Williams was costly as he wound up the Top Sportsman runner-up. “In the finals, I lost the beams and missed the tree,” he explained. “I pushed it all the way that I could and tried to break him out and instead I broke out. We were pretty consistent all day. We were happy.” Heber, whose father Gary is in charge of the mechanical work on the car, reached 192.55 mph but couldn’t catch Williams before the finish line. “Dad does all the technical work,” Heber said. “I just drive the car and maintain it. It’s still a definite adrenaline rush to drive the car.” For the first time, the NHRA has a national award for Top Sportsman drivers where the best results in three of five national races Hobby continues on Page 9

Arapahoe grad finds strength Hiner battled grief after tragedy, gained recognition By Jennifer Smith

Her now 14-year-old son went through chemotherapy with Children’s for a year after a lump was detected under Littleton: his arm. He Centennial: is now in remission Highlands Ranch: and will be starting Parker: high school this year, Castle Rock: cancer-free, Erwin said. She feels Children’s Colorado is an important place in the community and riding in the Courage Classic is her means to help out, she said. “They (the hospital) have expertise that applies to children and their families, both in terms of dealing with children medically, but also helping children through the process,” she said. “Children feel cared for and special
After Sarah Hiner’s friend Karl Pierson killed himself and their classmate Claire Davis right outside the door to the physics class she shared with him, she knew she had to find a way to reclaim her life. “I was super traumatized,” said Hiner, who graduated from Arapahoe High School in May. “We had to run out of the classroom over the blood in the hallway. … I was having hallucinations and nightmares. I took it really, really bad.” Even before that day — Dec. 13, 2013 — Hiner had been having her own strug- Hiner gles. She lived in Capitol Hill with her parents and a sister two years her junior. Attending East High School was comfortable for her, but she wanted a better education than she felt she was getting. An adult mentor guided her to Arapahoe, and she began taking an RTD bus down University Boulevard every school day, 45 minutes each way. “I had a hard time fitting in,” she said. “I was taking the bus, which the Arapahoe kids would never set foot in, coming from what was, in their minds, the ghetto.” She needed a little help in physics, and Pierson spent some time with her. “He was a different kid,” she said. “He was very smart, and kind of an outcast. Kids were mean to him … But I tried to open up to him, because sometimes when you do that, people open up to you. “You never know what people are going through, or what will make or break them. … I’m mad at him, but I know he was hurting.” Hiner was involved in the school’s Future Business Leaders of America club and was chosen to be its social media director. She had also been accepted to California Polytechnic State University, but she knew her family couldn’t afford it. So she started researching scholarships

NUMBER OF RIDERS FROM SOME SOUTH METRO AREA COMMUNITIES
By Taryn Walker
twalker@colorado communitymedia.com More than 200 south metro area residents were among the thousands of cyclists who rode 150 miles-plus over three days to raise money for patients of Children’s Hospital Colorado. Nearly 2,000 riders pedaled the Courage Classic bike tour along Copper Mountain Resort Route, July 18-20, according to Monique McCoy, spokeswoman for Children’s. This year’s 26th annual ride raised more than $2.9 million for patients and families, as well as helped meet the $35 million mark for the event since the hospital first began. More than 400 volunteers and numerous sponsors stepped up to the plate to make the 2015 ride happen to also encourage awareness. Centennial mother Denise Erwin rode in her 12th consecutive Courage Classic that weekend for her son Alex, who was diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma in 2012. “Nobody wishes this would happen,”

Centennial resident Denise Erwin and her son, Alex, pose for a photo before the Courage Classic. Erwin participated in the bike tour July 18-20 and rode more than 150 miles for her son, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2012. Erwin said. “As a parent, it is terrible to walk your child through a journey like that. Everyone always assumes that cancer only happens to everyone else. People like me don’t want to feel silly running to the doctor for just anything, but in this case — it was life-saving.”

Small business center fosters ‘economic garden’ SBDC says creating plan cuts failure risk by 25 percent By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com In the fall of 2014, the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center moved into offices located in the same building that houses the Chamber of Commerce in the city administration building at 9220 Kimmer Drive in Lone Tree. Since then, Marcia McGilley and her team have helped nine small businesses get off the ground and continue to help grow what she calls an “economic garden.” “Some people think we only help startups or people thinking about starting a business,” McGilley said. “We help about 40 percent of those with an idea who are actually in that startup phase, but 60 percent of our clients have been in business a year or longer.” The SBDC helps existing and new businesses in Arapahoe, Douglas and south Jefferson counties grow by offering quality, free, one-on-one consulting and free or low-cost workshops. “We are finding that our funders and our hosts are interested in the economic garden of growing the businesses that are still here, keeping and retaining customers, so that’s where our focus is going,” McGilley said. According to SBDC, lack of funding and failure to make a business plan are the two largest barriers to launching a successful business. “In Douglas County we don’t find that funding is the most difficult prospect be-
cause we have the socioeconomics down here,” she said. “Most of the people down here self-fund their own businesses. But people will jump in before they’ve written a business plan or strategic plan.” SBDC will work with new business to design a business plan, secure funding if needed and devise a strategy for success. “I was a small business owner myself and turned it into a bigger business, but a lot of times when you get started you think you have all the answers but you really don’t. They need a coach or sounding board or someone they can go to help them,” Lone Tree Council McGilley member Harold Anderson said. “Most of them don’t really want to ask for help because that shows insecurity. So to have a resource in this area that can coach them and bring them to reality and help them get started is going to cut the failure rate quite a bit.” Anderson was the founder of H.A.H. Medical, a sales and marketing company selling OB/GYN equipment and instruments to hospitals, medical schools and clinics, which he started in 1988. In December 2013 H.A.H Medical was sold to the Thomas Medical Inc. Division of Catheter Research. One of the program’s early success stories is Cranelli’s Italian restaurant, 10047 Park Meadows Drive. The restaurant began working with SBDC in 2013 and has since launched and grown a successful business. “I’ve chosen them as our 2015 nomination for small business of the year,” McGilley said.

Hockey star joins South Suburban Parks and Rec Former pro Murphy is native of Ontario By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Family Sports Center’s new assistant general manager could be the subject of a Trivial Pursuit question: Who scored the final professional hockey goal of the last millennium? Answer: Dennis “Randy” Murphy, on Dec. 31, 1999, in a game versus El Paso in
the Western Professional Hockey League. That’s not the only thing he has going for him, either. He’s a native of Ontario, and the New Mexico Scorpions actually retired his number. “Who better to oversee Family Sports Center’s Ice Office than a native-born Canadian?” said Bill Dobbs, general manager of the center. “As a former player, coach and manager, he has a lot of valuable experience and will be a real asset to our staff.” Murphy was most recently director of hockey in Pelham, Alabama. He served in that state as head coach and direc-
tor of hockey operations for the Huntsville Havoc in the Southern Professional Hockey League from 2009 to 2012, guiding the team to its first and only SPHL Championship in 2010. He spent 12 years playing professionally in the American Hockey League, East Coast Hockey League, Central Hockey League and Elite European leagues. In 1999, he played a year in Denmark before returning to North America to play for the Scorpions. His coaching career also there; as head coach he led the team to the second round of the CHL playoffs in 2007-08.
Murphy will oversee the FSC Ice Office and be responsible for the Arapahoe Youth Hockey League Hockey Program. Family Sports Center, 6901 S. Peoria St., Centennial, is an entertainment center featuring laser tag, inflatables, a climbing wall, bumper cars and more. Its ice arena is the practice facility of the Colorado Avalanche and is home to the Arapahoe Hockey League. South Suburban Parks and Recreation District owns and manages the complex, which is open to the public.

Project to widen part of Arapahoe Road set to begin Staff report Those who will be traveling down Arapahoe Road between Waco Street and Himalaya Way in Centennial should expect construction work between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, starting Aug. 3. Over the next year, this stretch of Arapahoe Road will be reconstructed and widened from the existing twolane section to an interim four-lane section, in preparation for construction of six lanes in the future. Commuters should expect occasional lane closures between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. throughout the week. One lane will be open during the morning and evening rush hours, according to a City of Centennial news release. The new roadway will be straight-
ened horizontally and vertically for easier navigation. The project is intended to provide easier left-turn movements onto the road, and enable gradual transitions from six lanes to four lanes and back to six lanes. Three signalized intersections will be redesigned and several existing drainage outfalls will be redesigned and constructed in coordination with the Southeast Metro Stormwater Authority. Overhead electric lines on both sides of Arapahoe Road will be relocated to accommodate the ultimate six-lane roadway section. The construction will be coordinated with Intermountain Rural Electric Association. The city awarded Hamon Infrastructure a $9.7 million construction contract in early July to complete the project.

Death sentence for Holmes would be no sure thing Sanity questions, legal process could prevent killer’s execution By Sadie Gurman
Associated Press
The time has come for jurors to hear whether James Holmes should be executed for killing 12 people in an Aurora movie theater. But even if they choose death, Holmes could spend the rest of his life in prison awaiting capital punishment that never happens. Colorado has executed only one person in nearly half a century, and just three people sit on the state’s death row. The man closest to seeing his death sentence carried out was granted an indefinite reprieve in 2013 by Gov. John Hickenlooper, who said he had doubts about the fairness of the state’s death penalty system. “Capital punishment is on life support in Colorado,” Denver attorney Craig Silverman said. As a prosecutor, Silverman secured a
‘If you want a case that never dies, seek capital punishment and get a death verdict, and you’ll be working on it for the next 20 years.’ Craig Silverman, Denver attorney
death sentence in 1986 against Frank Rodriguez, whose crimes included the kidnapping, rape and murder of Denver bookkeeper Lorraine Martelli. But 16 years later, it was liver disease that finally caused the 2002 death of Rodriguez, who had remained on death row.
“If you want a case that never dies, seek capital punishment and get a death verdict, and you’ll be working on it for the next 20 years,” Silverman said. The same jurors who convicted Holmes of 165 counts of murder, attempted murder and other charges in his July 20, 2012,
theater attack must soon decide whether he should pay with his life. The sentencing phase of his trial began last week. The Arapahoe County district attorney who prosecuted Holmes, George Brauchler, said that if any crime should be punished by death, it is this one: Holmes opened fire on an audience of more than 400 defenseless strangers in a darkened theater during a Batman movie premiere, killing 12 and injuring 70 others. But many obstacles stand between Holmes and execution. Death row inmates in almost every state spend decades in prison as mandatory appeals play out in court. But Colorado has adopted a unique system for such appeals, requiring those sentenced to death to file post-conviction claims before a higher court reviews their case. It was supposed to speed up the process, but “it actually slowed it down exponentially,” said Hollis Whitson, a Denver defense attorney who specializes in appellate law. Holmes continues on Page 10

Recent Heritage grad dies in SUV crash Witness accounts point to possibility of street race By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com An 18-year-old 2015 graduate of Heritage High School died in a single-car crash July 18. About 9 p.m., emergency personnel responded to Mineral Avenue near Long Drive, where Evan Hamill Carlson’s 1999 Chevrolet Suburban had collided with a
tree in the median. He was declared dead at the scene. Littleton police say Carlson was traveling west on Mineral at a high rate of speed when he lost control of the vehicle. Witnesses said he might have been involved in a street race prior to the collision. He was the only person in the vehicle, and nobody else was injured. Carlson was born on May 17, 1997, to Gregory and Diane Carlson, the middle son of three. He enjoyed the beach, fishing and most sports, especially football, lettering in the sport in his junior and senior years at Heritage.
He would have started at the University of Northern Colorado in the fall, with plans to pursue a teaching and coaching career. He was also looking forward to restoring a 1970 Ford Bronco with his father, according to an obituary posted to the Horan and McConaty website. On a Facebook page dedicated to tubing on the South Platte River, Carlson posted a news article about Joe Goodwin, a 2013 Heritage graduate who died in the river on June 20. Under his post, a friend made a plea for caution: “Please don’t go tubing or anything in the waters, I don’t want anyone to leave before they go to
college.” On his own Facebook page, Carlson wrote “Hakuna Matata” and a quote from Bob Marley’s “Could You Be Loved?”: “Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive, stay alive.” In addition to his parents, Carlson is survived by brothers Bryan and John, grandparents John and Barbara Lewellen of Denver, and many aunts, uncles and cousins. Police continue to investigate the circumstances of the accident and the possible involvement of other drivers, and are awaiting the results of toxicology tests.

DuBose leaves long legacy Community activist helped create area youth initiative By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia. com Dozens of Jim DuBose fans gathered at Fort Logan National Cemetery on July 17 to witness a memorial service in his honor, presented by the Denver All Veterans Honor Guard. A longtime Littleton resident known for his civic activism, DuBose, 79, died peacefully in his sleep at his home on June 4. DuBose was born on March 27, 1936, in Oklahoma City. He grew up there on Rock House Ranch, until he entered Culver Military Academy in Indiana in the 1950s. In the late 1950s, he joined the Army and was stationed in Japan, many years after World War II. “He was not active duty,” said his daughter, Susan Brotherton. “He didn’t think his service was a big deal compared to everybody else.” He went on to attend the University of Arizona, and took a part-time job installing television sets. That’s what he was doing at a hospital on the day he met Sandy, a nurse. She wrote in a memory book that her car wouldn’t start, and he helped her out. A week later, he called for a date, and they lived happily ever after until her death on March 31, 1996. After college, DuBose got a job traveling the country selling pre-press equipment, which landed him in Littleton as a district manager in 1974. “He called himself a peddler,” said Brotherton with a laugh. “When we got here, it was the first time we ever had stability. When I was a kid, we moved every three years. But he did what he had to do to make ends meet. We never had a ton, but we never wanted for anything.” The DuBose family settled into their home on Prince Circle in 1974, when there was a whole lot of nothing to the east of their neighborhood. To the west are stunning views of the mountains, the South Platte Valley and, now, Breckenridge Brewery. “When we first moved here, he walked out in the back yard and said,
The All Veterans Honor Guard conducts services in honor of Jim DuBose, who died on June 4. ‘I’m never leaving,’” said Brotherton. She remembered encouraging him to get involved in the community after his wife died. A staunch conservative, he had always been interested but not active in politics. “But he did not form opinions based on anything other than facts,” said Brotherton. “He was always able to see different sides. It didn’t always sway him, though.” That’s when he met what was then a small group of men working to repeal Littleton’s grocery tax, which they successfully did in 2003. The group grew into the Sunshine Boys, a diverse bunch of men and women, Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians and independents, who consider themselves a local government watchdog. Through all those years, DuBose was a regular attendee at city council meetings, usually with a twinkle in his eye and an often-mischievous grin. “He always said he just wanted them to know people were listening,” said Brotherton. Frank Atwood, a founding member of Sunshine, credits DuBose with motivating Littleton City Council to say the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of each meeting. “You contributed to a better Littleton and all of its initiatives, especially
the Yellow Ribbon (suicide prevention) effort,” wrote Atwood on the tribute wall of the Ellis Family Services website. DuBose was especially proud of his work to help create the Greater Littleton Youth Initiative, established in the wake of the Columbine High School murders. “Probably in his heart, that was his personal favorite, what he could do to help kids,” said Brotherton. “He was so incredibly giving. He was like a Tootsie Pop, hard and crunchy on the outside, but soft and sweet on the inside.” Brotherton, a librarian at Ralph Moody Elementary School, said she’s proud of the values her father passed on to his family. “He especially instilled this in my kids, and they say it all the time: ‘Do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do,’” she said. “I think it’s a great quote to live by, and I’m so glad it resonates in his grandchildren.” In addition to Brotherton and her husband, Tim, DuBose is survived by their children, Ashley, Chelsea and Maxwell Brotherton; his son and daughter-in-law, John and Jamie DuBose of Centennial; grandson Wyatt DuBose; granddaughter Madison Provost and her partner, Steven Bunch, and their son, Liam.

Mild memory problems worsen faster for women Men have only about a third of Alzheimer’s cases
‘It is worth letting our older patients know that they should perhaps talk about this with their
By Lauran Neergaard
Associated Press
s
Older women with mild memory impairment worsened about twice as fast as men, according to research that illustrates the especially hard toll that Alzheimer’s takes on women. Nearly two-thirds of Americans with Alezheimer’s are women. At age 65, seemingly healthy women have about a one-in-six chance of developing Alzheimer’s during the rest of their lives, compared with a one-in-11 chance for men. Scientists once thought the disparity was just because women tend to live longer — but there’s increasing agreement that something else makes women more vulnerable. A series of studies presented July 21 at the Alzheimer’s Association International
practitioner, that this is a possibility and consider whether or not they need to undergo procedures that are considered to be elective.’ Dr. Katie Schenning Conference uncovered signs of that vulnerability well before Alzheimer’s symptoms hit. First, Duke University researchers compared nearly 400 men and women with mild cognitive impairment, early memory changes that don’t interfere with everyday
activities but that mark an increased risk for developing Alzheimer’s. They measured these people’s cognitive abilities over an average of four years — and as long as eight years for some participants. The men’s scores on an in-depth test of memory and thinking skills declined
a point a year while the women’s scores dropped by two points a year. Age, education levels and even whether people carried the ApoE-4 gene that increases the risk of late-in-life Alzheimer’s couldn’t account for the difference, said Duke medical student Katherine Lin, who co-authored the study with Duke psychiatry professor Dr. P. Murali Doraiswamy. The study wasn’t large or long enough to tell if women were more at risk for progressing to full dementia. The study couldn’t explain why the women declined faster, but scientists need to explore that further for clues into the gender difference. But two other studies presented July 21 offered additional hints of differences in women’s brains: • A sample of 1,000 participants in the large Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative compared PET scans to see how much of a sticky protein called betaamyloid was building up in the brains of a

VOICES

Mock, mock — who’s there? Not Elvis No more. No more Elvis impersonators. “Cheesie.” Tiresome. Tedious. But they happen all the time, and none of them is Early Elvis, when he was great. It’s the Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich Elvis, when he was an unfortunate caricature. As you might imagine, there are Elvis impersonator contests and festivals, and you can go online and hire one, or a dozen, for your next event. Elvis impersonators have been around as long as Elvis has been around. The first one, Carl “Cheesie” Nelson was doing voice impersonations in 1954. I think his name says it all. I wish he had been the first and last. Nelson was from Arkansas, which is also very telling. Some impersonators impersonate Elvis’ voice, and others impersonate his appearance. There was a very good voice impersonator named Ral Donner. His one hit was “You Don’t Know What You’ve Got,” and if you didn’t know better, it was Elvis. Likewise Terry Stafford and “Suspicion.” Elvis recorded “Suspicion” in 1962, but it wasn’t a hit. Stafford came along in 1964 and covered it. It was so good (Top 10) that Presley’s version was re-released (reached #34). I don’t understand how anyone could be entertained by an Elvis impersonator. But some people are amused by Drew Carey. Shop at Pottery Barn. Why? When Elvis was relevant, he was very relevant.

QUIET DESPERATION
Later he started to make dreadful movies. Later he shoe-polished his hair and wore capes. (So did Dracula.) That’s when the impersonators started to come out of the woodwork. It’s an industry. There have been movies. None of them is any good. Want to torture me? Strap me down and make me watch “Honeymoon in
Vegas.” I refuse to watch State Farm’s new commercial. Elvis impersonators. Las Vegas. Pink Cadillac. Stale. Banal. Humorless. Overworked. Trite. Thesaurus. Elvis is too easy. Why not Burl Ives? There is something called diminishing returns. Why would State Farm go to the well again? Elvis was born in 1935. It’s 2015. Maybe that had something to do with it. His 80th birthday. Woody Allen and Julie Andrews were born in 1935. I don’t see anyone impersonating them. Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker was born in 1935. What’s wrong with impersonating him? Uecker was hit in the head with a ball during the Brewers’ pre-game batting practice in
June. Nevertheless, he insisted upon calling the game, but referred to outfielder Ryan Braun as a “hunk of burning love” and pitcher Will Smith as a “hound dog.” I don’t know. I am often mystified by some of the choices we make. Even some of my own. Once or twice a week, I will get on YouTube, and one thing will lead to another and to another. That’s how I rediscovered Ral Donner for this column. Donner was only 41 when he died. Lung cancer. Terry Stafford was only 54 when he died. Liver failure. Elvis was only 42 when he died. “Drug use was heavily indicated.” Elvis died about a week before I moved to Colorado in 1977. My move went unreported. Barely noticed. Elvis’s death was widely reported, and he was “seen” for years. And we still see him, in unfavorable reminders. I will make one exception in these complaints. Performance artist Andy Kaufman. His Elvis impersonation was exceptional and almost better than the real thing. Kaufman was only 35 when he died. Kidney failure. True to his performances, many people thought that Kaufman faked his own death. No more Elvis counterfeits, please. Don’t be cruel.

It’s far better to sizzle than fizzle at finish line Have you ever been on a long hike or maybe a good run or walk where you know you are getting close to the finish and you either slow down to ease through the end, or you become even more energized and power through the finish line? Maybe you have experienced this same feeling at work or in other situations and projects. You know that feeling, right? That feeling when we have been working hard at something or for someone and we are nearing the point of frustration and perhaps even exhaustion. The feeling of quitting or giving up is palpable and could temporarily make things so much easier on us if we could just stop right where we are. Then that other feeling kicks in, that feeling of pride and resilience. This is when the expectation of winning intensifies and takes over as we know that if we can just push past the finish line we will feel a greater sense of accomplishment. So we dig in deeper to find the energy and strength to complete our workout, our project, and we end the race the way we know we want to finish. Now we may be tired, spent, and completely drained but the gratification that comes with pushing through and pushing past the obstacles and hurdles that were in front of us only makes the victory that much sweeter.
Recently many of you have reached out and shared your life stories with me, and I greatly appreciate those conversations and email exchanges. Some of you are feeling pushed and pulled in multiple directions, and for others things seem to be slipping Michael Norton through the cracks, causing heartache and WINNING frustration. And as I WORDS have shared with those of you who have written to me, we all face challenges, and it’s not a matter of “if” we ever face them, it’s “when” we will face them. And just like a long hike, power walk, run or grueling workout, when we face those challenges we have to push past the finish line running just as hard if not harder as when we first started. We need to replace the feelings of quitting or giving up with intensity and empowerment that lets us power through and complete what it is that we need to complete. Being pushed and pulled in multiple directions or being spread so thin where things
slip through the cracks happens when we are not completely focused and committed to our goal and where we are going and what we need to accomplish. There is only one person in the world who can ever stop us or dilute us to the point of inefficiency and that is ourselves. So as we learn to avoid those traps of being pushed and pulled, as we keep our focus on the completion of our tasks, projects, and goals, we will no doubt develop the attitude of not just easing into the end of our journey but rather powering and pushing past the finish line in all areas of our personal and professional lives. You have it in you, you are so close, don’t stop, don’t quit, push yourself past the finish line. How about you? Do you run harder as you know you are nearing the finish line or do you kind of ease on through? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we power and push through the finish line, it really will be a better than good week.

Heat poses avoidable risks to health The peak of summer is here. The hottest summer temperatures for the Denver and northeast Colorado area tend to occur in the second half of July, according to 30-year averages calculated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In my 25 years as an emergency medicine physician, I’ve seen the catastrophic effect heat can have on health, and many of the people we see while providing event support in the National Disaster Medical System need treatment for heat-related illnesses. On average, heat-related illnesses cause more than 600 deaths every year, and from 2001 to 2010 more than 28,000 people were hospitalized for heat-related illnesses. You can help keep yourself, your family and others around you out of the emergency department by watching for signs of heat stress. People suffering from heat-related illnesses may experience heavy sweating; weakness; cold, pale, and clammy skin; fast, weak pulse; and nausea or vomiting. Early
signs include muscle cramps, heat rash and GUEST fainting or near-fainting spells. If you believe COLUMN someone is suffering from a heat-related illness, they need to move to a cooler location and lie down; apply cool, wet cloths to the body; and sip non-alcoholic fluids. They should remain in the cool location until recovered. Signs that someone might be suffering from the most severe heat-related illness, heatstroke, include a body temperature above 103 degrees Fahrenheit; hot, red, dry or moist skin; rapid and strong pulse; and “altered mental status” that can range from confusion and agitation to possible unconsciousness. If you see someone exhibiting these signs, call 911 immediately; help the person move to a cooler environment; reduce the person’s body temperature with cool cloths soaked in ice water especially to head, neck, armpits and upper legs near the groin area
Dr. Tim Davis
where combined 70 percent of body heat can be lost, or even a cool bath if you can stay with them to ensure they do not drown; and do not give them fluids. Children are especially vulnerable to heat illnesses, and can’t always tell us what is wrong. When it’s hot outside, consider any change in a child’s behavior as heat stress. Additionally, infants and children should never be left in a parked car, even if the windows are down. To help prevent heat-related illness: • Spend time in locations with air-conditioning. • Drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids. Good choices are water and diluted sport drinks, unless told otherwise by your doctor. • Choose lightweight, light-colored, loosefitting clothing • Limit outdoor activity to morning and evening hours • Protect yourself from the sun by wearing Heat continues on Page 9

Which was perfect, because she was in the middle of designing the FBLA’s website. But then the shooting stopped her world on its axis. Her friend was dead and a murderer. Media from around the world swooped in like vultures. “I couldn’t understand why they cared so much about this when the gang shooting of a 12-year-old in Denver doesn’t even make the local news,” she said, remembering the little brother of a friend at East High School Her family couldn’t understand why she was so upset, and adults all around her were urging her and all the students to draw inward as a community, but it was a community she didn’t feel very much a part of. But her FBLA adviser noticed, encouraged her to complete the website and enter the contest, and even got her an extra week to submit it to eSchoolView.

“We were impressed and touched by her candidness and ability to overcome extremely difficult obstacles to pursue a challenge,” said Michelle Vroom, publicrelations strategist for eSchoolView. As a result, Hiner was one of five students from around the country to win a $1,000 scholarship. But more important was the focus it restored in her, and the sense of worth. “It got me away from life,” she said. “It was rewarding to know I could do it after such a traumatic event in my life.” Today, Hiner is benefiting from therapy and is a very busy young lady. She works at the Cherry Hills Country Club pool and Catering by Design, and she also nannies for three kids, one with autism. “I really enjoy working,” she said. “I like knowing I can support myself.” She enjoys yoga, snowboarding and blogging, and she is very much looking forward to getting to Cal Poly and eventually pursuing a career in computer programming. “I’ve gotten another scholarship for working at the country club, but this one is the most important to me because it just means so much,” she said. “I’m proud I’ve been open about the situation, and of being considerate to everyone.”

when they are there.” As for the tour, it went well. “It’s really a great ride. The mountains are so beautiful — it’s a ride that people do because they have somebody they care about or they just care about children in general. Everyone is propelled by the mountains.

Holmes Continued from Page 5
Nationally, death row inmates spend an average of 15½ years in prison before they’re executed, said Michael Radelet, a sociology professor at the University of Colorado-Boulder, who has long studied the death penalty. It’s impossible to say how Colorado compares because the state has executed just one man since 1967 — Gary Lee Davis, who was put to death in 1997 after a 10-year wait. He was convicted of kidnapping, raping and shooting Byers rancher Virginia May 14 times with a .22-caliber rifle. The other two on Colorado’s death row — Sir Mario Owens and Robert Ray — were sentenced to death more than five years ago for the double murder of Vivian Wolfe and Javad MarshallFields, but their appeals still haven’t been heard. Whitson’s study of capital punishment in Colorado from 1999-2010 found that the vast majority of death penalty prosecutions result in life sentences, pleas to lesser offenses or acquittals. Another study, in 2013, found that only 0.6 percent of first-degree murder cases resulted in death sentences. “The cost of death prosecutions in Colorado is high, and the execution yield is extraordinarily low,” Whitson’s study determined. Holmes’ appeals could be even more complex because of his mental illness. Doctors testified that he suffers from schizophrenia. If his
mental state deteriorates while he is on death row, he may never be executed, Radelet said. “If he is sent to death row, we’re going to need dump trucks full of money to pay the mental health experts who will continue to argue this for the next 20 years,” Radelet said. “Even if Holmes is sane today, there will be inevitable questions about his sanity at the time of execution.” Part of the issue is Colorado’s uneasy relationship with the death penalty. The state abolished it in 1897, only to restore it in 1901, embarrassed by an outbreak of lynchings. The state’s lower legislative house voted to repeal the death penalty in 1999, but the effort stalled in the Senate. Lawmakers’ attempts to eliminate it again failed in 2009 and 2013. “You have this odd combination here for ambivalence on the part of prosecutors and juries and a statute that permits the imposition of death in most murders,” said Sam Kamin, a professor at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law who worked on Whitson’s study. “In some cases it was lack of resources, in some cases it was the belief that a jury wouldn’t impose it” or the victims’ families didn’t want it. The sparseness of Colorado’s death-row population is not necessarily due to lack of support for capital punishment. Nonpartisan Denver pollster Floyd Ciruli says support for the death penalty in Colorado polls has generally tracked those in national ones for decades. In 2013, a Quinnipiac University Poll indicated that 69 percent of Colorado voters backed capital punishment.

of brain tests. About 180 participants underwent 331 procedures involving general anesthesia. Over seven years, people who had undergone surgery with general anesthesia declined faster on measures of cognition, their ability to function and even brain shrinkage than people who hadn’t had surgery. But women declined at a significantly faster rate than men, Schenning said. The anesthesia alone isn’t the culprit, she cautioned. Indeed, other research presented July 21 showed that surgery in general can spur inflammation-causing molecules to cross into the brain and impair how nerve cells communicate, regardless of gender. Together, the studies show how much more research is needed into gender differences that may increase the risk of Alzheimer’s, said Dr. Kristine Yaffe of UCSF, who wasn’t involved in the studies presented July 21 but was part of a recent Alzheimer’s Association meeting to start determining those next steps. “It’s not just that women are living to be older. There’s something else going on in terms of the biology, the environment, for women compared to men that may make them at greater risk, or if they have some symptoms, change the progression,” Yaffe said.

variety of men and women, some healthy, some at risk and others with full-blown Alzheimer’s. Amyloid plaques are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s, and growing levels can help indicate who’s at risk before symptoms ever appear. “Overall, women have more amyloid than men,” even among the cognitively normal group, said Dr. Michael Weiner of the University of California, San Francisco. The study couldn’t explain why, although it didn’t appear due to the risky ApoE-4 gene, which seemed to make a difference for men with Alzheimer’s but not women. • Some seniors who undergo surgery with general anesthesia suffer lasting cognitive problems afterward, often expressed to doctors as, “Grandma was never the same after that operation.” On July 21, researchers reported that here again, women are at higher risk of getting worse. Dr. Katie Schenning of the Oregon Health & Science University tracked records of more than 500 participants in two long-term studies of cognitive aging, which included a battery

School’s approach encourages students to think, question SkyView Academy creates an environment where ‘everyone is known’ By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdiando@colorado communitymedia.com
At SkyView Academy, textbooks are hard to come by. You’re more likely to find a copy of “The Catcher in the Rye” or something by one of the great thinkers, like Plato or Socrates. “There are textbooks, but we don’t use them,” said Richard Barrett, executive director of the charter school in Highlands Ranch. “Spanish needs a textbook for guidance for what they’re learning. Some of your sciences could use a textbook. But a lot of it is experiential. It’s conversation. It’s hands on. It’s dissection in science class.” SkyView uses a classical curriculum, which focuses on grammar, logic and rhet-
oric —grammar being the elementary model, and logic and rhetoric being the middle school and high school model. “The classical approach is read great books, original source documents, it’s the great thinkers Plato, Aristotle, Socrates,” Barrett said. “It’s the Socratic style of teaching in class. It’s not a direct instruction model. It’s very inclusive but there’s an opportunity for students to participate in the conversation at a high level.” The elementary school students begin with grammar. Then, the logic comes in middle school when students will take the next step and go “oh, what does that mean.” In high school, they debate. Students learn to think critically about a topic. “(The teaching style) is more questioning then regurgitating facts,” Barrett said. SkyView sits in a building off C-470 on Business Center Drive. The building once was a Home Depot, which was renovated to accommodate the pre-K through 12-grade school. The class of 2015 made history May 22 as SkyView’s first graduating high school class.
Barrett was brought in to replace Lisa Nolan, who stepped in as interim director after the school’s original executive director left about two years ago. He moved to Colorado in 2001 after spending years as a teacher and working in KIPP charter schools in Texas. The Knowledge is Power Program is a nationwide network of free, public charter schools. Barrett helped build the KIPP Sunshine Peak Academy in 2002, and in 2009 helped open the Denver Collegiate High School. Following his time with KIPP, he worked on several turnaround projects in Denver’s inner city. “Douglas County is very different from the inner city,” he said. “Parent involvement is a way different conversation down here than it is over in Denver.” Barrett said coming to SkyView was an opportunity to build a K-12 public school that rivals the best private schools in the state. SkyView, after all, is a public school. It’s not religiously affiliated and is free to attend.

“That’s the challenge we face, reminding people in this community that we are a public school,” Barrett said. And even with its alternative methods, the school teaches Common Core curriculum. “Our philosophy is that Common Core will be taught by the way we teach,” Barrett said. “The alignment is natural. It’s there.” SkyView students also take all of the same standardized tests as the rest of the Douglas County School District schools. About 1,350 students attend SkyView, spread between the K-12 programs. Lorrie Grove is one of the school’s founding parents and the mother of two daughters attending SkyView. Grove said the small-school atmosphere of the charter provides students with a unique learning experience that would be hard to find at most larger public schools. “Every student is known,” Grove said. “No one is going to get missed or overlooked at our school.”

The hook is in the water

Generations form bond over fishing
FISHING LOSING POPULARITY
By Nick Puckett
npuckett@colorado communitymedia.com Knee deep in the north fork of the South Platte River, John Scialdone whips his fly rod back and forth across the water. With a flick of the wrist, he jerks the rod forward, sweeping the line through the air, landing it in the water. His cast is smooth and deliberate. Each movement carefully measured. Each stroke precise. It’s like he’s painting a masterpiece. Scialdone, from Gilbert, Arizona, and his grandson Jake, from Elkview, Pennsylvania, are standing in a stream 10 miles west of Bailey. They met in Colorado the day before for a three-day, guided fly-fishing tour. It’s Jake’s high school graduation present. The river running through the private ranch tucked away in a Rocky Mountain valley is still high. And on this mid-July morning, the 79-year-old man scores his first catch, a 17inch rainbow trout. His smile gives away his lighthearted demeanor. “I really enjoy being outside,” John says as he flings his line upstream again, “whether I catch anything or not.” A few minutes later, he hooks an 18inch rainbow trout. Twenty feet downstream, Jake throws his line in an almost mirror image of his grandfather. He pays similar attention to the accuracy of each cast — an uncharacteristically gauged approach from the zealous, fast-talking 18-year-old. But, after all, it was his grandfather who taught him how to fish. The line pulls taut. It’s snagged on the river bottom. “I never stop talking about fishing,” Jake says, not missing a beat as he methodically casts again. “Ask my girlfriend.”
Fly-fishing guide Tom Caprio advises Jake Scialdone on where to cast his line.
Teen is practiced fisherman
Studies show teens are least likely to want to learn to fish. But for Jake, the sport has been a part of his life since he was 3. He caught his first trout at 7. The fishing stories and clichés he recites make him sound like an old pro. Jake and his grandfather, whom he calls Pop, meet once or twice a year to go fishing. On this trip, their guide, Tom Caprio, quickly runs through the basics of tension casting, a basic fly-fishing technique not like the romantic false casting you see in movies. Jake catches on quickly. His cast is effortless. His patience measured. His intuition distinct. Jake fishes regularly in a stream near his home 50 miles west of Philadelphia. “It’s more consistent,” Jake says of Penn-
sylvania fishing where nearly every cast returns a fish, usually a 5-inch brook trout, a species native to eastern North America but also found in the high Colorado mountains. “They’re a lot smaller ... I’d rather get a big one.” The line catches again — he’s got a bite. For two minutes, he fights to reel in the 20-inch brown trout. After a photo shoot with what would be the largest catch of the day, Jake sets it back in the net and takes his own photos so he can draw pictures of it later. He draws every fish he catches, as long as it’s 16 inches long — that’s his rule. As a freshman in high school, Jake played football, but he suffered six concussions that forced him to quit. “That’s when I really started fishing,” Jake says. “It’s all I really had besides music.” He plays the drums and teaches guitar
In 2014, 9.9 million people gave up fishing while 8.7 million started, reflecting a decrease in the pastime’s popularity, according to a fishing report sponsored by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation and the Outdoor Foundation. The report can be found on takemefishing.org. Jake Scialdone, 18, attributes this to a lack of excitement caused by little success in the water. “A lot of kids get bored,” Jake said. “If you don’t have the right technology and don’t catch a lot of fish, you get bored.” Among adults 45 and older, 43 percent said they were considering picking up the sport, according to the report, compared to only 6.6 percent of teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 — the least likely demographic to be interested in the sport. The report suggested a main factor to its low popularity was that only 37 percent of teenagers think outdoor activities are “cool.” Some 41.5 percent of first-time adult anglers said the sport was “uninteresting” or “time-consuming.” “I feel like people say that when they don’t catch anything,” said Scialdone. “It’s all boring until you hook into a 30-inch cutthroat.” The type of fishing can also make a difference in the sport’s excitement, fishing guide Tom Caprio said. “One thing with fly-fishing,” he said, “it’s very active” compared to bait fishing. “When you have kids … you want to go to places with a lot of action.”
lessons part-time. He landed a part-time job at a local fish market and began deep-sea fishing for prize fish, usually worth about $150, but sometimes thousands of dollars. Fishing in streams or lakes can be more fun than in the ocean, Jake says, “until you catch a fish,” because they’re smaller. “The scenery isn’t as good either,” he adds. “Colorado is awesome.” Fishing continues on Page 13

John chuckles at the memory. “We caught gobs of fish. We must’ve caught 50, 60 fish,” he says. “From that day on, I knew that I could catch fish. That’s really when I fell in love with it.”
Continued from Page 12
Grandfather shares fish tales
‘Up for something new’
Upstream, John continues casting. Unrushed, he watches the fly float downstream as far as the line will give before snapping it out of the water and back upstream. After a while, he wades farther into the water, waist-deep in the fast-moving rapids. John has been fishing since he was 8 years old, but picked up fly-fishing only six years ago. “I keep hearing people say it’s the only true way to catch trout,” says John, “so I figured I’d try it.” He gives another of his trademark, ear-to-ear smiles. “I’m always up for something new.” To John, Colorado is the mecca of trout fishing in the United States. In the 1960s, he lived in Littleton and often float-fished in the mountains. “My friend had a big raft,” he says, “and we’d catch all kinds of fish.” When John was 9, he and his brother fished in the local canal. The two would bring home long strings of small, scaly, inedible fish. “What the hell you going to do with those?” he recalls his father would ask. “You going to clean them?” They ended up burying the fish as fertilizer.
At lunch, the grandfather recounts the time a property owner shot at him for floating on a private, Colorado river. Everyone within earshot is glued. He rehashes old fishing tales like a veteran might with war stories. Jake has heard the story probably a hundred times. He’s the most engaged. For Jake, who fishes more often than he plays video games, the stories never get old. After his fourth catch of the day, Jake poses with a onehanded “hero’s grip” and smiles. He doesn’t bother taking a picture of the 10-inch rainbow — too small to immortalize in a drawing. He returned to the same hole. For Jake, fishing is an escape. He says he likes the solitude. “I’m away from people,” he says. “People are OK, but I get irritated to a point. Fishing, you’re outside by yourself. It gives you an excuse to do something.” He pauses casting for a moment and looks upstream at his Pop. “But you’re out here … When you look up, you look around, you realize where you are.”

FISHING TIPS • Fish tend to congregate in areas where the water turns from shallow to deep to find food. “Trout are energy efficient,” said fly-fishing guide Tom Caprio. Instead of going out to find food, he said, fish will stay in one place and catch the insects floating in the current. • Cast near the shoreline for more bites. • Larger fish enjoy larger insects, like locusts and grasshoppers. • Know what type of casting is appropriate for the region you’re fishing. False casting works better when the fish rise to the surface, said Caprio. “False casting … can get messy,” said Caprio. “If the fish aren’t rising, there’s no point. If you want to catch fish, tension casting is the
• The best time to go fishing is around sunrise when the water is colder. • Research the region you will be fishing in to find out what kinds of fish live there and the things they like. Caprio inspects the water for the types of bugs floating in the current to see what the fish will be feeding on that day. • Check the local fishing reports that day for updates on areas where fish are biting. • Go with a guide — beginner or veteran. “You can shortcut the learning curve,” said Caprio. “There’s different techniques. What guides can do is help learn how to do them, even for some people who have been fishing for years.”

Good times brewing at RiNo hotel New Belgium Brewing is about to let the creative juices flow through a new 10-barrel pilot brewery at The Source Hotel in Denver’s River North District, which is slated to start construction later this summer. New Belgium will brew on the ground floor of the Source Hotel, with barrel aging on the eighth floor in a rooftop lounge dubbed The Woods, a collaboration between New Belgium and The Source Hotel. The Woods will serve New Belgium beers paired with small plates and will include a snack counter and bar, sit-down dining and beer garden. The eighth floor will also include a pool and rooftop deck with mountain and downtown views. “After 25 years in Fort Collins, we’re really excited to get more deeply involved in Colorado’s cultural and political capital,” said Jenn Vervier, director of strategy and sustainability at New Belgium. “We’ve long considered creating a Denver location to bring the New Belgium experience to more of our Colorado fans and to the millions of travelers who visit Denver. RiNo is already
a vivid scene with a rich art and craft beer culture, and will soon have great access for bikers and walkers. This small batch brewery will allow us to collaborate with The Woods’ chef and mixologists to create innovative beers, drinks and Penny Parker pairings you can’t get anywhere else. The MILE HIGH Source Hotel and the LIFE Zeppelin Development team are the perfect fit.” To learn more about New Belgium Brewing, check out www.NewBelgium.com, and for more on The Source, visit www.TheSourceDenver.com.
Tap and Burger expands
Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake, a sister
restaurant to the popular Highland Tap and Burger, will be the first tenant in the sevenblock, $300 million development of Sloans, a restaurant, retail and residential neighborhood directly south of Sloan’s Lake. The 177-acre project will be the second largest in the Mile High City. Alexan Sloan’s Lake, occupying blocks five and six of the seven-block Sloans project, is a new 369-unit luxury apartment development by Trammell Crow Residential. Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake is the newest endeavor from Juan Padro and his wife, Katie O’Shea-Padro, owners of LoHi’s award-winning Highland Tap and Burger. The 4,600-square-foot Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake space, at 1565 Raleigh St., is part of TCR’s 10,000-square-foot ground level retail and restaurant development. “Being a part of a community is superimportant to us, and this project really lends itself to embracing the Sloan’s Lake community,” Padro said. ”We were encouraged, as I hope others will be, by the fact that we have a compelling opportunity to contribute to the future growth of such a dynamic neighborhood. It’s a super-active area — you’ve got apartments, homes with back yards, a great walkability factor, the park and the lake — that’s bolstered by a ton of football traffic and thousands of cars that use Colfax to get in and out of downtown.” Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake is scheduled to begin construction in late fall, and Padro plans to open in March 2016. The Alexan Sloan’s Lake project includes high-design studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments. Construction on the apartments is underway with the first units delivering in October.

Aces in t he hol e

A hole-in-one takes luck, but skill and strategy don’t hurt
By Jim Benton
FUN FACTS
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com
If Bill Loeffler could do it over again, he would have saved each of the golf balls he used to make a hole-in-one. The 58-year-old Douglas County resident, who owns The Links Golf Course in Highlands Ranch, would have quite a collection: He’s made 14 aces. But he didn’t keep any of the balls. “I should have, but now it’s too late,” said Loeffler, Loeffler a member of the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame who played two years on the PGA tour. “The first hole-in-one was at Cherry Hills Country Club. It was on No. 6, and I was 12 years old. I missed the ball. I almost topped it. It hardly got in the air, rolled all the way down and up the hill. They are all lucky, but that was probably the luckiest one.” Even for players with resumes like Loeffler’s, it doesn’t hurt to be near a four-leaf clover when it comes to marking a “1” on a scorecard. “A hole-in-one is a very lucky Part 3 of 3 on finding shot,” said Pat Tait, ways to get better head professional at and get more at Raccoon Creek enjoyment out of golf. in south Jefferson County. “There’s a lot of skill to where it starts out, but when that ball goes in the hole, it requires a lot of goodness. It’s quite a feat and a very exciting time for the person that gets it.” How rare is an ace? One is recorded only once every 3,500 rounds, according to the National Hole-In-One Registry. The odds of a player doing it twice in a round? That would be 67 million to 1, the registry says. But it’s not all chance. Playing a lot of golf
RAISING YOUR
GAME
• California and Texas see the most holes-in-one, accounting for 9 percent each of the aces made in the nation. • Titleist balls account for 45 percent of all holes-inone. Nike is second at 15 percent. • Two players, one from California and one from Michigan, have recorded at least one career ace right-handed and at least one left-handed. Source: National Hole-In-One Registry: www. nationalholeinoneregistry.com
At The Links Golf Course in Highlands Ranch, this is what you get for a hole-in-one. Photos by Jim Benton and being good at it are factors. Jason Preeo, a MetaGolf instructor at Broken Tee and the boys golf coach at Valor Christian, said it takes a combination of skill and luck to get an ace. He’s made five of them, by the way. “There’s the expression, ‘The better you are, the luckier you get,’” said Preeo, who has played in the U.S. Open. “For the most part, that is true. If you hit the ball close to the hole every fifth shot instead of every 10th shot, your odds for a hole-in-one go up.” Club selection is one of the keys to improving the odds of collecting an ace, Loeffler said. “The amateurs I play with in pro-ams, 95 percent of them are always short,” he said. “I keep telling them to take a half-club more
or whatever. Just take more club to get there. You can’t make a hole-in-one if you can’t get the ball to the hole. Most people don’t take enough club. Distance is the key.” Players of all ages and abilities can attest to that. Pat Allen, an 89-year-old, once-a-week player from Littleton, used an 8-iron to ace the 70-yard fifth hole on the par-3 course at Foothills Golf Course on June 15. She has been playing for 49 years. “It was a lot of fun,” Allen said. “Before I croak, I hope to have another one. That was my first, and I intend to take it with me when I go. “I hit the ball, and it was a pretty shot. It went across the small water that was there, and it landed on the green and went ‘plop.’
I realized it, but I wasn’t sure until I heard one of my fellow playmates say it went in the hole — and that’s when I went ‘Whoopie!’” Walker Kurtz, 12, just started playing golf last summer, but he made a hole-in-one in June on the 143-yard first hole on South Suburban’s par-3 course in Centennial with a 9-iron. “I was really surprised because I didn’t know what happened,” the Centennial resident said. “I needed a minute to take it all in. I was really excited. “I didn’t realize at first what an accomplishment it was, but now that everyone has told me about it, it’s kind of gotten really cool. I guess it was beginner’s luck.”

Highlands Ranch man gets Mile High win Bill Percival notches win in nonprofessional division By Scott Stocker Bill Percival, of Highlands Ranch, in Super Comp, was one of three Colorado drivers with victories in the six, nonprofessional divisions in last weekend’s Mile High Nationals.
The others were Victoria Johnson, of Arvada, who won the Top Dragster classification, and Ron Williams, of Longmont, in Top Sportsman. Percival fashioned a pass of 9.5 seconds at 156.39 mph to defeat Brighton’s Justin Ewing at the National Hot Rod Association event at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. He only wished his brother Brian could have come out victorious in Super Gas rather than having to settle for runner-up.
Brian Percival lost to Michael Miller from Santa Fe, New Mexico, as he ran 10.518 seconds at 131.95 mph to his opponent’s 10.539 seconds at 131.95 mph. “This event is great and it felt good and incredible,” Bill Percival said. “I had the car and I felt our team could do good. Not making any mistakes was the way to win. It just would have been a lot better had Brian been able to also pull out a victory.” Brian Percival, of Lakewood, was a bit

disappointed by not pulling out the victory, yet pleased with the overall efforts over the weekend. “This is a big race and for us to reach the finals was great in our classes was fine,” he said. “To win races on the Mountain is great for me and my brother. We’ve both made finals in other events in our careers, but the Mile Highs is the first time in a national event that we both reach the finals in our classes on the same day.”
SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JULY 27, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A bit of Arian contrariness could be keeping you from getting all the facts. Turn it off, and tune in to what you need to hear. It could make all the difference this week. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Getting an answer to a vital question involving financial matters might take longer than you’d expected. A new factor might have to be dealt with before anything can move forward. Be patient. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Use your good sense to see what might really be driving a colleague’s workplace agenda. What you learn could lead to a new way of handling some old problems.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A change of mind might once again turn out to be a good thing. True, most of your co-workers might not like the delay, but as before, they might appreciate what follows from it. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You revel in golden opportunities this week. One cautionary note, though: Be careful to separate the gold from the glitter before you make a choice. Someone you trust can help. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Marriage is important this week, as are other partnerships. Don’t let yourself be overwhelmed by sentiment. Instead, try to steer a path between emotion and common sense. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Dealing with someone who has let you down is never easy. But the sooner you’re able to clear up this problem, the sooner other problems can be successfully handled. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A “friend” who is willing to bend the rules to gain an advantage for both of you is no friend. Reject the offer and stay on your usual straight and narrow path. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) After all the effort you’ve been putting in both on the job and for friends and family, it’s a good time to indulge your own needs. The weekend could bring a pleasant surprise. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might want to do something new this weekend. Close your eyes and imagine what it could be, and then do it, or come up with the closest practical alternative. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your good deeds bring you the appreciation you so well deserve. But, once again, be careful of those who might want to exploit your generous nature for their own purposes. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Trolling for compliments isn’t necessary. You earned them, and you’ll get them. Concentrate this week on moving ahead into the next phase of your program. BORN THIS WEEK: Meeting new people usually means you’re making new friends. People want to be reflected in your shining light. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
