Council provides boost for business Tax-exemption amount raised to $100,000 By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com

One of the best spins on the midway, the merry-go-round, is a traditional favorite at the Arapahoe County Fair. Sometimes called carousels, they are believed to have emerged from early jousting practices in Europe and the Middle East where knights would ride horses in circles, tossing balls to one another to improve agility.

The council considers Centennial to be a “business-friendly city,” and a new resolution will benefit loyal, long-term businesses and could attract more companies to open shop there. At a July 21 city council meeting, a motion carried that will temporarily increase the amount of the Business Personal Property Tax Exemption from $7,000 to $100,000 — higher than surrounding municipalities and Arapahoe County. The exemption is estimated to affect 91.5 percent of Centennial’s businesses. “We wanted (to be able) to give the most relief to the most businesses,” Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon said. City officials estimate a decrease in revenue of about $220,000 by implementing the exemption. But Noon said part of the idea is to attract new businesses to the city, which will bring revenue in different forms, like new jobs and Council continues on Page 11

A fair amount of fun

Afternoon thunderstorms and the Arapahoe County Fair seem to be a common pairing, and although brisk weather over the weekend sent this year’s fairgoers scrambling for cover, it didn’t send them scrambling for home. In fact, thrill seekers along the midway at the fairgrounds in Aurora on July 26 found even more attractions than last year, including a woman with the head of a human and the body of a snake and the world’s smallest pony, supposedly coming in at only 10 inches in height. Along with the annual rodeo, tractor pull and demolition derby, high-flying hounds, live musical entertainment and mutton bustin’ brought smiles to visitors of all ages.

Chambers strive to make connections Networking is not a lost art, business groups’ leaders say By Chris Rotar

crotar@colorado communitymedia.com High heels, ties knotted tight, cell phones set to silent mode. Polite conversation permeates the room. Business cards are dealt with a smile. Eggs, bacon, breakfast burritos. Captains of industry sip coffee. They’re juiced. They are gathered at a chamber of commerce function, in a town near you,

in hopes of gleaning the nuggets of wisdom that can take their business to the next level. This morning’s presentation could be on commercial real estate sales, or it could be on the need to expand public transportation. Some might say, however, that what happened in the minutes before — the handshakes, the eye contact, the heaping helpings of conversation — is the main attraction. No doubt, networking remains vital in the business world. But are scenarios like the one above as important as they once were?

Dan Qualman began his career in firefighting in 1969 as a volunteer at a college campus department. Pretty soon, he “got bit by the bug, and thought `this is really neat.’” By the time he committed to the fire service as a career, he had already earned an engineering degree and was a manager at an established firm. “I wanted to do something that was more significant than making money for that company,” said the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority chief. After four decades in Qualman firefighting and 28 years as chief, Qualman will retire from South Metro. The highly decorated leader will leave his post in early January, but will begin the transition in October to assistant chief Bob Baker, who was named Qualman’s successor June 30. Moving to Colorado in 1983 from Arizona, Qualman served as assistant chief of fire prevention for the Parker Fire Protection District until August 1986, when he was appointed fire chief. Following the consolidation of South Metro Fire Rescue and Parker Fire District in 2008, he was appointed fire chief for the new authority. Pat Mulhern, president of the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority Board, said Chief continues on Page 5

Christie visit leads to pot talk Controversial governor stumps for Beauprez

“is the wrong thing to do from a societal perspective (and) from a governmental perspective.” “… I think that diminishes the quality of life in a state that legalizes an illegal drug, a drug that is still determined to be illegal by the federal government and most other states,” he said. When he wasn’t answering questions about pot, Christie was heaping praise on Beauprez, who is making his second run in eight years for the governor’s mansion. Christie said he was encouraged by recent polls that show a neck-and-neck race between Beauprez and Hickenlooper. He also said he wouldn’t be visiting Colorado in his capacity as chairman of the Republican Governors Association if he didn’t think Beauprez had a shot at winning. “Listen, there’s nobody who is awake and alive here in Colorado who doesn’t believe that this is a winnable race,” Christie said. “The only people who don’t believe (that) are just absolute, flat-out partisans.” Christie was asked about demographic problems that continue to afflict the Republican Party at the national level. Those problems include consistent failures at winning over women and minority voters, making it increasingly difficult for the GOP to win in blue or purple states. Christie reminded reporters that he is the governor of a Democratic stronghold and said that Republicans need to “campaign in places where we’re uncomfortable,” in order to win over a more diverse group of voters. “The fact is, Bob’s not going to win this race by going to chamber of commerce lunches every week,” Christie said. “He needs to go every once in a while, but that’s not where he needs to spend his time. He needs to spend time in places where Republicans typically don’t get the vote you’re talking about.” Christie said Hickenlooper has made “fundamental errors” and “poor decisions” as Colorado’s governor. However, the New Jersey governor refused to cite specific examples of those decisions.

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie made no apologies for having previously called Colorado’s “quality of life” into question for its voter-approved marijuana legalization, during a July 23 visit here. Not that anyone would have expected a “sorry, Coloradans” from the larger-thanlife Republican and potential 2016 White House contender, who isn’t one to mince words. “I’m not one of those guys who is going to change my opinion just because I’m standing in Colorado and go, `Well, what I really meant was …’” Christie told reporters inside Sam’s No. 3 Diner in downtown Denver. “No, I meant what I said.” Christie was in Colorado to raise money for the Republican Governors Association and stopped by the diner to stump for fellow Republican Bob Beauprez, the former congressman who is seeking to unseat Gov. John Hickenlooper this fall. Christie was joined by Beauprez at the diner, and he praised the former congressman for having “the right vision for the future of Colorado.” But much of Christie’s availability with the press was spent responding to comments he made about Colorado’s pot laws earlier this year. During a New Jersey radio show in April, Christie blasted the state for allowing recreational pot use and sales. “See if you want to live in a major city in Colorado, where there’s head shops popping up on every corner and people flying into your airport just to come and get high,” Christie said in April. “To me, it’s just not the quality of life we want to have here in the state of New Jersey and there’s no tax revenue that’s worth it.” Christie reiterated his position during his Denver visit, saying that legalizing pot

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie speaks to reporters during a visit to Sam’s No. 3 Diner in downtown Denver on July 31 as Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez looks on. Photo by Vic Vela A Hickenlooper campaign spokesman did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment, but the Colorado Democratic Party blasted Christie’s visit. “By bringing Chris Christie and his scandalous New Jersey politics to our state, it’s pretty clear that Both Ways Bob is still lost on the Colorado way,” said Colorado Democratic Party Chairman Rick Palacio, through a statement that was sent in advance of Christie’s trip. “Instead of embracing Christie’s style of cronyism and corruption, Beauprez should denounce his visit the way Christie denounced Colorado’s way of life.” Palacio was referring to a now-infamous bridge scandal in New Jersey, where one of Christie’s staffers and some of his political appointees are alleged to have been politically motivated in conspiring to create traffic gridlock in a New Jersey town. Beauprez responded to criticism of Christie’s visit and the perceived baggage

he brings as being “pure and utter nonsense.” Beauprez said Christie “took responsibility and took action” as the bridge scandal came to light. But some outside the restaurant strongly disagree that Christie took the appropriate action during the bridge scandal and would have preferred that the governor stayed in New Jersey. “To me, that just demonstrates the type of leadership that he would demonstrate as governor of Colorado and that’s not what we need,” said Amy Runyon-Harms of the left-leaning ProgressNow Colorado, referring to Beauprez’s association with Christie. Runyon-Harms was joined by a handful of others who protested Christie’s visit from outside the diner, but the New Jersey governor paid them no mind. “By the way, I welcome them here … this is a much lower turnout of protesters than I normally get,” Christie said.

South Suburban leaves ballot option open Public invited to comment on budget in August By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com While the directors of South Suburban Parks and Recreation District didn’t say during their July 23 board meeting that they were positively going to ask the voters for money in November, they definitely and unanimously didn’t say they weren’t, either. “If there’s any chance we’re going to have an election in November, we have to notify the county now,” said Chair John Ostermiller, in light of the July 25 deadline to do so. Director Mike Anderson said they should definitely leave the option open, especially given the recent findings of the Gold Medal Citizens Committee. “The (finance and strategic plan) subcommittee strongly recommends that the District pursue funding from a mill levy increase, bond issue or combination of both,” reads the report, which was completed in May. “The mill levy should be for maintenance concerns, with no restric-

tions, and the bond issue should be for capital improvements that are proposed by the other Gold Medal subcommittees. Project selection criteria should emphasize profitability.” The committee found that aging assets and higher staffing expenses have resulted in budget shortfalls. The 2014 budget summary notes the district doesn’t have enough money to maintain what it already has, let alone to upgrade to current facilities. However, in the 46 pages prior to that one in the 49-page report, there are a lot of needs identified, including for a new regional park and a new fieldhouse. The committee recommends that in addition to holding an election, the district should work to find other ways to increase revenue, including things like legacy donations, public/private partnerships and specific project-driven donation campaigns. The district will hold a public hearing regarding its 2015 budget at 7 p.m. Aug. 13 at Goodson Recreation Center, 6315 S. University Blvd. in Centennial. The public is welcome to address the board regarding requests for new programs or facilities or improvements to existing facilities, parks, trails and open space.

Local restaurant-goers have a new place to dine now that the LongHorn Steakhouse, located at 9625 East County Line Road, Centennial, has recently opened for business. The restaurant has brought about 80 to 100 new jobs to the area, according to a news release. The location’s support manager, Wes DeLong, said out of that number, only about 10 employees were out-of-state transfers.

“The rest were hired locally,” he said. The Centennial LongHorn Steakhouse is the second location to open in Colorado, the other being in Thornton. LongHorn Steakhouse, founded in 1981 in Atlanta, currently has more than 460 locations in 40 states. LongHorn Steakhouse is owned by Darden Restaurants, a company that “owns and operates 2,100 restaurants” in the U.S., including Olive Garden, Red Lobster and Yard House, among others.

Woman faces 71 felony charges in arson case Almodovar was arrested after June 23 Copper Terrace fire By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com

The woman authorities suspect of starting the June 23 apartment fire at the Copper Terrace complex in Centennial had charges formally filed against her in the Arapahoe County Courthouse on July 24.

Chief Continued from Page 1

Qualman has seen the department through periods of major growth and economic hardship, Mulhern said. The department expanded with the community. When the Inverness and Meridian business parks were developed, Parker Fire went from responding to wildland fires to high-rise fires. Growth demanded a change in tactics and resources, he said. Perhaps the most notable aspect of Qualman’s career is the safety record under his watch. Some of the biggest changes in the department, and the industry as a whole, have focused on the health and safety of personnel. “The emphasis we place on safety today is much greater than what it was, even back in the ‘80s,” he said. “During the time I’ve been chief, we’ve been fortunate not to have a lineof-duty death, and that’s

Naomi Almodovar, 23, is facing 71 felony charges, 37 of which are firstdegree attempted murder, a spokeswoman for the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said. The spokeswoman said that if Almodovar convicted of all 71 felony offenses, Almodovar could be sentenced to a minimum of 590 years, and a maximum of 1,972 years, in prison.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS/AWARDS • Supported the development of the Miller Life Safety Foundation, a nonprofit providing safety education. • Turned the department’s fleet bureau into a vehicle maintenance enterprise that contracted service to 25 fire departments and reduced taxpayer cost for department operations. • Was instrumental in multi-agency agreements improved service delivery to residents and businesses in the district and reduced costs. • Served as president of the Colorado State Fire Chiefs. • Honored with the 2007 Parker Economic Development Council’s Cornerstone Award, the Special District Association of Colorado’s Manager of the Year 2012, and the Colorado State Fire Chiefs Association’s Fire Chief of the Year in 2012.

‘During the time I’ve been chief, we’ve been fortunate not to have a line-of-duty death, and that’s been one of my goals: to make sure we do everything we can to make sure our firefighters are safe.’ Dan Qualman been one of my goals: to make sure we do everything we can to make sure our firefighters are safe.” Even as he hands over the reins, Qualman continues to lobby elected officials to stop approving

At 1:09 a.m. June 23, South Metro Fire Rescue was dispatched to 6550 S Dayton St. on a fire that eventually claimed eight of the 24 units in building G, and an additional 10 units were damaged from smoke and water. Only six units in the building did not sustain damages. No lives were lost in the fire, but one person was seriously injured. According to the American Red Cross Disaster Action Team, 14 people and two pets were displaced. A total of 45 people lived in the evacuated building.

caused floors to collapse, reducing the time homeowners have to escape and jeopardizing the safety of responding firefighters. “The general public needs to understand that the home they’re living in, they have a very small window to escape,” he said. Qualman said there have been a “number of calls” during his career that has served as confirmation that he chose the right path. Additionally, he has watched those around him succeed. Qualman says his proudest accomplishment has been “helping people to achieve their potential” by providing an environment in which employees can thrive. “My philosophy has been if you allow people to do whatever their passion is and to use that to help the department, it can be really great,” he said. “They are excited about what they’re doing.” Qualman will leave his post in October and stay on as a consultant during what he believes will be a smooth transition. He has mixed feelings about leav-

Almodovar was taken into custody without incident July 18 by Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office investigators, with assistance from the Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force Fugitive Unit and the Aurora Police Department. The arrest was made on charges of attempted murder, arson and domestic violence. Almodovar is being held at the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Detention Facility on a $1 million bond. She was scheduled to appear in court again at 9:30 a.m. July 30 for a preliminary hearing.

ing a job he loves, but says he will stay true to his word. He knows the authority will be in good hands with Baker, who was hired in 1984 as part of the first wave of academy graduates.

“There comes a time when you need to move on to something else and get out of the way for other people to take over and push the department further,” he said.

Fracking supporters salute court ruling Judge says health concerns don’t override state’s interest By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A recent court decision on hydraulic fracturing is leaving supporters of the bigmoney drilling practice hopeful that the momentum of the contentious debate is now in their favor. A Boulder County District Court judge on July 24 struck down Longmont’s ban on fracking, which voters there put in place during the 2012 election. “While the Court appreciates the Longmont citizens’ sincerely-held beliefs about risks to their health and safety, the Court does not find this is sufficient to completely devalue the State’s interest,” District Judge D.D. Mallard wrote in her ruling. Mallard determined that Longmont’s fracking ban conflicts with state rules and limits Colorado’s interest in developing oil and gas opportunities. The judge stayed her decision, pending appeal. The City of Longmont plans to appeal the ruling on its ban on fracking,

a process by which water and chemicals are blasted deep underground to free up trapped oil and gas. Supporters of the multibillion-dollar fracking industry point to the ruling — and a recent narrow rejection by Loveland voters to implement a moratorium on fracking — as evidence of momentum. “I think that it’s a good start,” said state Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch. McNulty is a fracking supporter who is behind a ballot initiative that would McNulty prohibit communities that ban fracking from receiving revenues that are collected from those that welcome the practice. “There’s going to be a lot of legal maneuvering ... If they appeal, then we’ll head down that road. If they don’t, we have a very good precedent in place,” McNulty said. Fracking has developed into one of the more polarizing and complicated issues in the state. Supporters of fracking point to job creation, as well as a state economic impact of billions of dollars annually that is gener-

ated by the oil and gas industry. Opponents have serious concerns that fracking could impact public health and the environment. Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper recently called off efforts to reach a legislative compromise on fracking issues. The effort was undertaken in hopes that lawmakers could craft legislation that would prevent fracking ballot initiatives from moving forward. In addition to pro-fracking measures like the one McNulty is supporting, antifracking initiatives could end up being on the ballot this November. They include efforts to allow communities greater control over drilling — a measure dubbed the “Environmental Bill of Rights” — and a measure that would require wells to be placed at least 2,000 feet from occupied dwellings. That effort that would essentially ban fracking in Colorado, oil and gas industry supporters claim. Hickenlooper and the oil and gas industry oppose the ballot initiatives, which are being financially driven by U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, a Boulder Democrat who has big support from those who are against fracking. A Polis spokesman declined to comment on the court’s ruling.

Bruce Baizel of the Earthworks Energy Program, a group that supported the Longmont ban, expressed optimism, in spite of the court’s ruling. “This decision means two things,” said Baizel. “The judge has invited us to seek the change we need either through the higher courts or the legislature. We fully intend to pursue the former on appeal while the latter underscores the need for the citizens of Colorado to get out and support the Environmental Bill of Rights ballot measure this fall.” But Karen Crummy, a spokeswoman for Protect Colorado, a pro-fracking group, said the judge’s decision should prove to antifracking advocates like Polis that the fracking facts are not on their side. “Perhaps now Congressman Polis will listen to elected officials in both political parties and the business and community groups who have asked him to withdraw his arbitrary and irresponsible ballot initiatives,” Crummy said. “His efforts to lock inflexible regulations into the state constitution will be a disaster for the economy, private property owners and the local communities who now have the ability to help shape energy regulations to their needs.”

Don’t miss out on second chances In casual golf outings when we shank our first shot into the lake and reach back into our bag for another ball to tee it up one more time, we call that shot a mulligan. And many times that second ball is just as bad as the first; however, there are those times when that mulligan works out extremely well and puts us safely back in play. Many successful salespeople and thriving businesses have learned a long time ago that when a prospective customer says “no” to the offering or proposal, that “no” is only “no” for now, it is not a “no” forever. Early in my own selling career, I was told “no” by a prospect 12 times before they finally agreed to see me one more time where that “no” finally turned into a “yes” as I made the sale. That is an extreme example, and as many of you who are in sales or in business have learned, if we do not take that second shot, “no” will always be “no.” We can all probably think of a time where we let some words fly from our mouths without any filter or thought for what we were about to say or how we would say it. Now most people might think that there is absolutely no chance for a verbal mulligan, but how many relationships and friendships have been saved through heartfelt, apologetic, or encouraging and loving words? If

we never take the time to seek that second chance, we will never have the opportunity to repair the relationships that matter most in our lives. Have you ever given someone a second chance? Have you yourself ever needed a second chance? My guess would be that the answer to both questions would be yes. It’s what we do with those second chances that really matters. Typically, successful second chances include extra effort in thought and preparation. The mulligans in our lives have a much greater likelihood of reaching the green when we take the time to understand where things went wrong in the first place. Once we recognize the error, large or small, in our technique, tactics, or spoken words, we can adjust accordingly and are well on our way to success and happiness. Now in professional golf, we all know

there is no such thing as a mulligan. The professional golfer knows that if a mistake is made, he or she will pay the price through additional strokes. In life, we are penalized with missed opportunities if we say the wrong things or take wayward steps. However, in most cases we do have an opportunity to make things right as we capitalize on our second chances. Now maybe my example of being rejected 12 times before finally making that sale is an extreme case. However, in sales just as in life, we need to recognize the importance of resilience and maintaining a positive attitude of perseverance. “No” today does not mean “no” tomorrow, and a harsh word spoken today does not mean it could not be forgiven tomorrow. How about you, are there situations or opportunities in your life where you could use a second chance or take a mulligan right about now? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we make the most of our second chances, it really will be a better than good week.

Negative campaigning is positively correct Does negative political campaigning affect me? No, not at all. My opinions about politics and politicians “can’t get no worse.” Negative campaigning makes me lose faith and trust and interest in the nominees. It makes me wonder who is telling the truth, because accusations are made and candidates brag about things they may or may not have done or said. Some candidates flip-flop depending upon which way the wind is blowing. “I am in favor of gun control, unless it would be beneficial if I weren’t in favor of gun control.” My favorite tactic appeared in Kwame Kilpatrick’s re-election campaign for mayor of Detroit, when his consultant made comparisons between the negativity aimed at Kilpatrick by local journalists and black lynchings in the South, complete with graphic images. Detroiters re-elected Kilpatrick. Oh, he is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence. Rod Blagojevich, the former governor of Illinois, is right here in Colorado. He reported to begin serving a 14-year prison term at the Federal Correctional Institution, Englewood, in 2011. They may have moved him, I don’t know. There have been other politicians who have gotten their hands dirty: former Connecticut Republican Gov. John G. Rowland, former North Carolina Democratic Rep. Frank Ballance, former California Republican Rep. Duke Cunningham, former Alabama

Democratic Gov. Don Siegelman, former Illinois Republican Gov. George H. Ryan and former Illinois Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. Former, former, former. Remember Idaho Sen. Larry Craig? “Lewd conduct” in a public restroom. I saw Marion Barry giving an interview recently, showing off and talking up his accomplishments in Washington, D.C., and promoting his new book, “Mayor For Life: The Incredible Story of Marion Barry, Jr.” Barry was re-elected to a fourth term despite years of political corruption and even a prison stint. No list would be complete without the Watergate boys, and even Chappaquiddick Ted Kennedy. I was never very fond of Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley. But they must have liked the family enough to elect his son, Richard M. Daley, as mayor, because they re-elected him five times. So, no, negative campaigning and nega-

tive behavior doesn’t affect my opinion about politicians and politics. It’s as low as it can possibly be. They are all wearing pencil-thin mustaches, selling used cars, inflating their achievements, denigrating the hell out of their opponents, “believing in America,” and have plans to turn this thing around. Each and every one of them gives me the creeps, although I guess I might ease up on Lincoln. JFK had charisma, and a mistress around every corner. But I was thinking about something the other day. I might have 20 to 30 things on my mind at any given time. President Obama has to have 20,000 to 30,000 things on his mind at any given time. Everyone wants something. Everyone wants something to be different. Every small business owner, minority, gun advocate, gun-control advocate, pro-lifer, abortion-rights advocate, religious nut, immigration-control zealot, pregnancydiscrimination opponent, you name it. It all reminds me of that program “Dirty Jobs.” Politicians have to do them for us. I have no interest in their jobs, but that’s no reason why I can’t complain about them. Or is it?

POLITICAL ANALYSIS

GOP grows isolated on issue of gay marriage Many Republicans avoid topic as society changes By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com As a seemingly non-stop wave of court rulings that favor marriage equality continues to make headlines, it has come as no surprise that Democrats have been quick to praise decisions that are moving Colorado closer to the reality of same-sex nuptials. On the other hand, Republicans — the majority of whom have long been vocal in their opposition to gay marriage — for the most part have remained silent as the court battles have played out. The momentum and public support of this debate is clearly on the side of marriage equality, with confident supporters touting the inevitability of same-sex marriage in Colorado and across the country. And as the issue moves further away from their party, Republicans seeking statewide office rarely talk about gay marriage — and when they do it’s clear they don’t want to talk about it at all. Republicans who support marriage equality believe that it’s time for the party to stop fighting against an issue that is becoming a losing battle. “It very much demonstrates while Republicans make a claim to be a party of liberty and personal freedom, this is a position that doesn’t square with that at all,” said Mario Nicolais, a Jefferson County Republican who has played a key role in same-sex partnership legislation and litigation. “The rise of Libertarians is due in large part because people cannot stand Republicans’ position on marriage equality. I think it’s turning off a lot of folks in the party.”

Gay marriage script flips Earlier this month, reporters’ email inboxes were flooded with laudatory statements from Democratic officeholders and candidates in key races following an Adams County District Court judge’s ruling that the state’s voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. Republican Attorney General John Suthers issued statements regarding his plans to appeal that and other related court rulings. But other Republicans weren’t exactly racing to the nearest microphone to weigh in on the decisions. “I’m assuming they understand it’s one of the things that makes them looks mean and the Democrats have done a really good job of making them look mean,” said state Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen. Gerou, who is not seeking re-election this fall, was one of only three Republican lawmakers to vote for legislation that created civil unions last year. Gerou — who has been known to take positions that irk members of her own party — believes that many Republicans’ stances or silence on gay issues is hurting the party. “There is a small minority of people that are controlling the message in the Republican Party, and quite honestly I think it can kill the party because that’s not the way that most people feel,” she said. “The public doesn’t believe in absolutes.” Nicolais agrees, but he learned the hard way how gay-rights issues can manifest in a Republican primary. Nicolais — an attorney who played a key role in Republican redistricting efforts three years ago — looked to be a formidable general-election opponent to Democratic state Sen. Andy Kerr of Lakewood, who represents Senate District 22. But Nicolais couldn’t get past his pri-

Many mourn community pillar Bradford, longtime Littleton benefactor, left her mark

mary challenger Tony Sanchez, who won the race by a sizable margin. The Nicolais campaign was hurt by mailers from social conservative groups that blasted Nicolais’ support of civil unions. Nicolais led a group of conservatives in supporting the legislation and he also has played a role in marriage-equality litigation that is making its way through the court system. Nicolais said his party doesn’t do itself any favors when it comes across as being intolerant on an issue where its views are among the public minority. “When an issue like this is trending so severely in one direction, it doesn’t make us look good,” he said. Nicolais said that Republicans risk losing younger members, a group that is much more inclined to support marriage equality than older Republicans. “A lot of those people will not listen to a single thing that a politician says if they don’t support their friends who they’ve grown up with,” he said.

Turnaround in 10 years Sen. Mark Udall is among the many Democrats who praised the recent court rulings. Chris Harris of the Udall campaign said he is pleased that the issue is moving so quickly in the direction of marriage equality. That’s even more remarkable, Harris said, because it was only 10 years ago that gay marriage was used a successful wedge issue by Republicans nationwide in a country that wasn’t ready for marriage equality. “We saw in 2004 Republicans using their anti-gay messaging to benefit them,” Harris said. “It’s remarkable and remarkably positive that the tide has turned so quickly.” The Udall campaign has attacked the senator’s opponent, Republican U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, as being on the wrong side of this issue — using the marriage equality issue to their advantage in a way that would have been akin to political suicide just 10 years ago. “I think they know they are out of step with voters and certainly out of step with history,” Harris said.

Gardner campaign spokesman Alex Siciliano responded with previous statements that the congressman has made regarding same-sex marriage. Rather than address the issue of gay marriage directly, Gardner instead took issue with Democrats whom he believes are guilty of demagoguery. “While others may seek to divide Colorado on these sensitive issues, you won’t be hearing any rhetoric from me like that during this campaign,” Gardner said. “I believe strongly that we must treat each other with dignity and respect and that we deserve a U.S. senator who aims to bring people together, not pull them apart.” It is rare nowadays for Republicans who are against same-sex marriage to voice overt moral concerns with homosexuality, another indication that the debate has evolved. Many Republicans instead hold the position that government doesn’t belong in the marriage business to begin with. “I know during the civil-unions debate I was conveniently labeled as someone who opposed the legislation because I didn’t agree with those life choices,” said state Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker. “But really the opposition is, I don’t think it’s right that government is involved in relationships that define people.” Holbert said heterosexual marriage is a “good, productive thing for our society” because opposite-sex couples can procreate. And if same-sex marriage does become a reality in Colorado, he doesn’t want lawmakers playing any role. “Clearly, in my district I represent a majority of voters who support traditional marriage,” Holbert said. “I think that is true throughout Douglas County. But I would imagine some of those people would be more acceptable with a court’s decision on the constitutionality on the issue rather than the Legislature defining relationships.” But Gerou said it is that kind of talk that is hurting the party. “The more the minority is doing what they’re doing, the smaller they will become,” she said.

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com It seemed especially fitting that “Ave Maria” was the featured solo performed during Mary Bradford’s memorial service, as she was, indeed, full of grace. “She was motivated and invigorated by people in a big way, and yes, Mom was a social butterfly,” said her son Mickey Kempf. … “She has taught us all what community means, what giving and caring should be, what family should strive to be. She always made every person in the room feel important, and she could always make you feel good about yourself. To every person she encountered, your title didn’t matter. She would be the first person in the room to smile and say, `Hi, I’m Mary Bradford. I’m happy to know you.’” And each of the hundreds of people in the sanctuary at Littleton United Methodist Church on the afternoon of July 24 likely smiled when he said it, remembering the times they heard her say those very words. Bradford The sheer number of people who attended is a testament to Mary’s good heart, as is the fact that many of them disagree on almost everything else that happens in the community. Many of them smiled also as they remembered her dressing up all in orange for Broncos games, working in a junkyard, riding at the head of the Western Welcome Week parade as grand marshal twice and appearing in a “Bingo Babes” calendar — just a few of her more memorable moments. “Her family called her a feisty little lady, but I’ll call her a faith-filled woman,” said the Rev. Trudy D. Robinson. She recalled some of Mary’s struggles, divorce, the loss of a daughter, the death of her second husband, Brad Bradford. “How else do you experience joy after difficulty if it isn’t through faith?” asked Robinson. Greg Kempf, another son, painted a pic-

Photo by Jennifer Smith ture of just how much Mary touched and shaped Littleton in the years since she arrived in 1959, with her gentle yet persistent hands in everything from Town Hall Arts Center to Littleton Adventist Hospital, Littleton Symphony Orchestra to Buck Recreation Center, and far too many more to count. “Of course my mother can’t be replaced, but we will all carry her unto the future in our hearts,” he said, invoking Romans 12:12-13: “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” Mary, sometimes called Littleton’s “Queen Mary,” was known for her generous hospitality, welcoming anyone who visited her historic home on Bemis Street with hugs and a baked good or two, and delivering chicken-dumpling soup to others when they were under the weather. “It’s that sense of community life lessons she passed down,” said Greg Kempf. “I will always look up to my mother. She is my hero. … It is also my hope that we continue to have a little of my mother’s community message as we continue to live out our lives into the future.”

Organizations see turnover at the top Staff report The faces of chambers of commerce, quite literally, are changing. At least four metro-area chambers have had their top official step down so far in 2014. Several other area chambers, including the ones in Arvada, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree and Parker, have seen turnover at the top since the summer of 2013. But the Denver suburbs aren’t alone. “There’s a ton of turnover going on everywhere,” said Dave Kilby, president and CEO of the Western Association of Chamber Executives. “I tell people the chamber industry is an opportunity industry. Half of our CEOs in the West are 55 or over. There are people almost weekly that are leaving because of retirement. There are a lot of CEO searches right now.” Retirement is one reason. But also, chamber leaders commonly leave for a higher-paying post, Kilby said. In other cases, he said, the job just didn’t live up to the hype. In any case, Kilby says, don’t look for a common thread in the Denver-area turnover. “I think in every one of those CEO chang-

es, there’s probably a different story,” he said. “There’s nothing in the water; it’s just a coincidence. You could go to a similar geography and find something similar.” Below is a look at some of the turnover in 2014: Golden Chamber of Commerce Who left?

Chambers Continued from Page 1

Name tag vs. hashtag

Lakewood resident Ernie Witucki was the CEO of chambers of commerce in Colorado, Indiana and New Mexico in the 1960s and 1970s. He believes convincing chamber members to attend networking events can be a tough sell. “It’s hard to get chamber members to break away from work,” said Witucki, who remains active in chambers in Jefferson County. “Social events are good, but you’re only reaching a very small portion of your members. “Everybody’s in a rush today. It is tough to get chamber members to attend an event after, let’s say, 9 a.m. Once they get entrenched in their business, they try to protect their time.” Enter technology. Most Denver metro-area chambers that responded to a Colorado Community Media survey say they are embracing the Internet’s role in facilitating connections. Andrea LaRew, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Highlands Ranch, said there is no doubt the web is changing the game. She sees businesses doing more with less manpower and, like Witucki, acknowledges members’ time constraints. “We recognize that the Internet is often the first place people go for answers,” she said. “Therefore, we have increased our online presence in an effort to meet our members’ needs. “We are implementing new ways to engage our members through online communities, webinars, and new software that allows our members to communicate with each other.” To Shiley Johnson, interim CEO at the Metro North Chamber of Commerce, the Internet is an essential tool if chambers are to remain relevant. “In that regard, we have put technology to good use, creating a website that enhances our sense of community,” he said. In addition to their own websites, chambers can use tools like Facebook and Meetup.com to broaden their reach. At the same time, those and similar online tools can be utilized by businessmen and women in lieu of chamber membership.

“The chamber is important, but there are lots of other new groups,” said John Brackney, former longtime president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. “It’s hard to determine whether any of them are valuable or not. It’s easier to get the message out, but there are a lot of them. You get lost in all the messages.”

Keeping it real Denver Botanic Gardens’ CEO Brian Vogt, who preceded Brackney as chief of the South Metro Chamber, can testify to the benefits of technology’s evolution. “First, fax machines were the greatest thing ever, then the Internet. You don’t have to print so many things, like newsletters and bulletins… It’s a huge cost savings, and a huge pain-in-the-neck savings.” Just as it can promote going green, the Internet can be a handy alternative to attending networking events in brick-andmortar buildings. But to many, a primary benefit of joining a chamber of commerce is face time. “While it’s true that many needs can be met on the Internet, I passionately believe that chambers of commerce will remain relevant because they are people-based,” said Donna Russell, a board member for the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce. “People still rely on other people. A business can create exposure for itself through the Internet, but there is only one way to bring a community together, and that’s by bringing them together and putting a face on personality, integrity and, ultimately, a professional.” The same can be said for enticing people and businesses to town, chamber leaders say. “Yes, people can go online and research a community,” said Pam Ridler, president of the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce. “When they get here, though, you have to have that human connection. So we try to provide that kind of thing. How can we introduce people in the community? You can try to do it online, but to me, that isn’t longlived. “We create relationships.” — Jennifer Smith and Amy Woodward contributed to this report.

property tax. The resolution became effective immediately and will “remain in effect until its repeal or amendment” and “would be an ongoing revenue decrease as long as the… exemption is effective.” The exemption includes business-related personal property that is used by a business for personal income, and includes computers, “furniture, fixtures, equipment, machinery, furnishings, security devices, household furnishings, signs and anything else that is removable,” states a staff report on the resolution. BPP does not include real property, “which is defined as fixed property such as land and buildings.”

The report states that Arapahoe County adopted a resolution to give businesses an exemption for the first $20,000 in June 2013 and “at least nine other jurisdictions within Arapahoe County offer an exemption for BPP,” which range “from $10,000 to $25,000,” making Centennial’s the highest exemption level. Greenwood Village offers an exemption on $15,000, and Littleton, $10,000. There are more than 4,000 businesses in Centennial, excluding home-based operations. “It’s important to us for businesses to be successful in our community,” Noon said. “The City of Centennial wants to be a leader in that respect.”

trauma, not just physical but mental trauma.’ Yoga Trigo owner Mary McManigle

Yoga class to benefit South African children Former Littleton resident makes special trip home to teach course By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia. com An upcoming yoga class in Lone Tree will touch the lives of children almost 10,000 miles away in South Africa. Yoga Trigo, located north of Lincoln Avenue on Park Meadows Drive, will host a 90-minute class at 5 p.m. Aug. 9 for a suggested $25 per-student donation. Money collected from those attending the class will benefit Lionhearted Kids, which provides free counseling and other therapy to South African children.

Yoga instructor and counselor Lauren Pech founded lionhearted Kids. A Littleton native, who now lives in South Africa, Pech is traveling from South Africa to Denver to teach the Aug. 9 class. “Lionhearted Kids is all about art and yoga therapy and helping kids who’ve had a lot of trauma, not just physical but mental trauma,” said Yoga Trigo owner Mary McManigle. It’s a cause to which McManigle not only feels drawn, but which dovetails with her business philosophy. Yoga Trigo donates 5 percent of after-tax profit to local and global charities that promote peace and safety for women and children. The vinyasa-style yoga class will be followed by snacks and wine. Yoga Trigo is at 10463 Park Meadows Drive. For more information, visit www. lionheartedkids.org.

‘A n Evo l v i n g Vi s i o n’

Longtime painter’s works on display in Lone Tree By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “rita derjue: An Evolving Vision” will open Aug. 4 and extend to Sept. 20 at the Lone Tree Arts Center, with a reception for the artist hosted by the Lone Tree Art Commission on Aug. 7 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The artist says she views it as an 80th birthday celebration, with many of these paintings created in 2013-14 and all in the past 20 years. Included, she said, will be large canvases and watercolors, as well as small drawings and, hopefully, a case with sketchbooks. “I want to show paintings not shown before,” the prolific artist said. They will include some that have hung in her home but not in shows. Her work has changed from one decade to the next. She studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and received her MFA from Cornell University. She also studied in Germany, where she became familiar with the “Blue Rider” school of German Expressionism, especially Gabrielle Munter, according to Lone Tree Art Center curator Sally Perisho. “And like the post-impressionists in Southern Germany, derjue’s subject is the landscape, including lakes and mountains, hills and grasslands. It is the landscape in its many forms and moods — spontaneous, bold and beautiful, quiet or majestic,” Perisho said. A world traveler, derjue is familiar with contemporary art in many areas. Her large, spontaneous brushstrokes are reflective of the early study of German Expressionism. Some paintings, such as “Village” in the new exhibit, are a composite grown from derjue’s imagination, but others relate to particular sites, such as the historic Colorado railroad town of Como, where derjue and her husband, Carle Zimmerman, own several old houses they have restored. They are active in the South Park Heritage Area and have worked on restoration of the old railroad roundhouse, which appears in a painting. “The train came right up to the door of the depot — now a B&B,” she said. There will also be a painting or more representing the many summers she taught summer classes on Massachusetts’ Outer Cape at Truro Center for the Arts, she said — a location not far from her childhood home in New Hampshire. And, visitors will find images from Vail, where she often goes to paint. “An Evolving Vision” is a Commission-

Bartender mixes it up with best Sean Kenyon, bartender extraordinaire at Williams & Graham, was named American Bartender of the Year at the Spirited Awards July 19 in the Sheraton Hotel New Orleans. Kenyon was among four finalists along with Jeff Bell (PDT, New York), Marcovaldo Dionysos (Smuggler’s Cove, San Francisco), and Bobby Heugel (Anvil Bar & Refuge, Houston). The Spirited Awards are held each year during Tales of the Cocktail, the world’s premier cocktail festival, bringing together the international spirits community for five days of what’s now, what’s new and what’s next in bartending. “I am still stunned by the whole thing,” Kenyon told Eater Denver. “I didn’t think I was going to win. Someone from a secondary market doesn’t have as much of a chance to win as much as people from the coasts, and with the guys from New York and San Francisco in the running, I just didn’t expect to win.” According to Eater Denver, Robert Simonson, author and journalist for The New York Times, tweeted this after Kenyon’s win: “Jul 19 #spiritedawards win for @SeanKenyon likely to be biggest thing yet to happen to Denver cocktail scene, attention-wise. #totc” What did Kenyon say in his acceptance speech? “I thanked my wife — I couldn’t do anything I do without her. I thanked my family at Williams & Graham — I love them. I thanked Steve Olson and Andy Seymour, two of my mentors. And I thanked my father; he never sat me down to tell me what to do, but I learned everything I know about bartending and hospitality from him. I prepared nothing for my speech because I am superstitious, but I ended with a call to young bartenders everywhere: Honor yourself, honor your peers, and honor your craft.”

Each year the Lone Tree Arts Commission supports emerging and professional artists by providing a venue to display their work in a public setting. With a rolling deadline, artists submit their work to be considered and reviewed. They are selected by demonstrating a meaningful body of work with an educational and informative component, according to Perisho.

Great Scots, it’s back! 51st annual Colorado Scottish Festival returns Aug. 9 and 10 By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Sláinte! Gather the clan and get ready to attend the Colorado Scottish Festival, returning to Highlands Ranch for its 51st year on Aug. 9 and 10. “Bring your kids, bring your dog,” John Thornton, the festival’s director, said. “There’s something for everybody.” The two-day festival, brought by the St. Andrew Society of Colorado, takes place from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Aug. 9, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 10 at Highland Heritage Regional Park, 9651 S. Quebec St., Highlands Ranch. This year’s festival features three stages of non-stop Celtic music, which will provide temporary home to bagpipes and drums, storytelling and reenactment performances to include sword-fighting demonstrations. Thornton said that Nessie, a 20-foot long version of the Loch Ness Monster mounted on a trailer, has become known as the mascot, and is always a big attraction for the crowds. “Nessie has a lot of friends,” Thornton said. “Some people come to the festival just to see Nessie.” He said some attendees have their kids take a picture standing next to Nessie every year, and watch how they grow in comparison to her size. Thornton said there are two musical highlights at the festival this year. One is the Midday Ceremony, which takes place at noon both on Saturday and Sunday, where there will be a performance of a massed band consisting of pipes and drums. Thornton said the massed bands will probably consist of about 200 performers. The second musical highlight of the festival is Saturday evening’s concert as Galician multi-instrumentalist Carlos Núñez will perform from 7 to 10 p.m. Thornton said Núñez will play with a four-piece band and the sound is a blend of Celtic music with Latin and African rhythms. “He’s quite unique,” Thornton said. Another attraction of the festival is a free haggis tasting that starts at 1 p.m. both days. Thornton added that attendees who are 21 years of age or older will also be offered a free sample of whiskey. The festival will have traditional dance,

bagpipe and drum competitions, where the competitors can gather points to go on to national competitions, Thornton said. The Highland Games — an athletic competition known worldwide — is also an important aspect of the festival. Thornton said all the competitions at the festival will have outside judges, and a lot of the competitors come from across the U.S., and some from different parts of the world. “We’re pretty international,” Thornton said. “We welcome everybody.” There will also be a British dog exhibit, car show and, of course, Scottish clans. The St. Andrew Society of Colorado is made up of a group of people with Scottish heritage. One of their goals is to put forth the Scottish culture and “exists to provide all persons with an interest in Scotland the opportunity to pursue their interest in Scottish culture, traditions and history,” states the SASC website. For more information on the Scottish Festival or to purchase tickets, visit www.scottishgames.org. For more information on the SASC, visit www.coloradoscots.com.

Wounded vets recover through sport Three-day golf camp in Arapahoe County boosts confidence, camaraderie By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com It appeared like a normal golf lesson with small groups of golfers hitting chip shots long, hooking a few shots off the practice tee and leaving putts short. However, there were also many good shots that brought high fives and huge smiles to the faces of these novice golfers. The golfers were Marines and other wounded Armed Forces veterans who were taking part in a three-day golf camp July 2224 at Inverness Golf Club. Team Semper Fi is the athletic program for Semper Fi Fund that invited the group of 22 veterans to help bolster their recoveries by teeing it up and having some fun. “Team Semper Fi’s motto is recovery through sport,” said Casey Fisher who is the program director for the athletic program. “What we strive to do at every event whether it is like this, a triathlon event, camp, or marathon is to provide an opportunity and a situation that is safe, comfortable and can aid in their recovery. “They not only learned something but something they can take with them and share with their other Marines that are injured and may not have been a part of this to help them in their recovery. Traumatic Brain Injury is a scary thing. PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) is also a very scary thing. These service members need to know that somebody cares about them after they’re out, whether it’s the VA or a group like ours, their family or whomever.” Chris Bowers was injured in 2007 during combat operations in Western Iraq and had his left leg amputated below the knee. Bowers has been playing golf competitively for three years but came to Arapahoe County from Virginia with hopes of introducing other injured servicemen to the game and boost their recoveries. “To see the change from not being able to hit a ball to hitting great shots was really neat to watch,” said Bowers. “At lot of these guys had never played a round of golf. To watch them get frustrated then hit a good shot and build confidence was neat. Having an outlet to go out and compete is really cool. “Golf was a good part of getting me out of the hospital and back outside. I learned to play golf after I lost my leg. It’s really been an outlet for me. I take it seriously and push myself to play well. In my group I had one guy out of three that had played 18 holes. We kept it upbeat and light and he said it was one of the best days he’s ever had after his injury.” Keith Jeter, who was deployed to Afghani-

Chris Bowers practices his chip shots during the Team Semper Fi golf camp at Inverness Golf Club. Photos by Jim Benton stan, had only played golf once seven years ago prior to the three-day camp that concluded with an 18-hole round. “I learned a lot, like how to swing, how to stand and be calm,” he said. “I got mad a couple times and I could tell that I was doing bad. “This week has helped me a lot. I met a lot of cool guys, got numbers and contacts if I need anything. It was a good time to get away. We had fun all week.” Inverness assistant golf professional Jim Edfors headed the list of instructors. “It was presented to them as a game of a lifetime and it is something they can carry with them into old age,” said Edfors. “They were all looking for something new having been injured in war and trying to rebuild their lives. “Golf is something that is accessible for them and they were excited about it. A lot of these guys are athletes, they are looking to do something athletic again. There wasn’t any quit in them.” Rick Ellefson, a Colorado PGA pro who helped tutor the golfers, was impressed. “They were really ecstatic about being here,” he said. “It was a good break from where they’ve been at and it helped the mind a little bit because a lot of them have been struggling with their injuries or their traumatic brain injury or PTSD. It was great medication for them. “I played with the group I worked with in a scramble using my ball as well but we didn’t

There were a lot of good shots out of those guys. They did really well.” Fisher claims he often receives good response from some veterans after the various athletic events offered. “We do these mini rodeos for 10 or 12 guys that come out,” related Fisher. “One of these guys was borderline suicidal. The only time he could function or get back into being a normal guy again was on a horse. I remem-

ber when I first met him, he was fighting all the time, just angry. He was angry at the world because he had been blown up and he has PTSD and his knees are bad and he used to be this unbelievable athlete. “But when he’s around a horse he’s the happiest guy you’ll ever meet. We actually donated a horse to him so he could ride whenever he wants. He’s said multiple times to me, `you’ve saved my life.’ I get chills talking about it.”

Kids learn from a pro Rapids star kicks grass with area youths By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Brian Mullan of the Colorado Rapids displayed his fitness as he hurried from chair to chair to have his picture taken with teams of soccer campers. Mullan was a substitute for Edson Biddle, who had other commitments and could not attend the Edson Biddle Soccer Pro Camp July 24 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. Procamps from Cincinnati has managed and operated sports camps and events since 1998 for professional athletes in the National Basketball Association, National Football League, Major League Baseball, National Hockey League, PGA, and Major League Soccer. The U.S. Army was a partner in the Biddle camp that had 200 youngsters registered. Coaches and players from area soccer clubs and high schools helped coach the campers.

“I came into the Major League Soccer in 2001 and soccer has progressed every year,” said the 36-year-old Mullan. “These camps help out to get people interested that wouldn’t normally be interested. “Now there are more knowledgeable coaches around and soccer is becoming more of a viable option.” Mullan, who played for Regis Jesuit, Creighton, four MLS teams and has been part of five MLS Cup teams, wanted to make sure the campers had fun. “You had kids of various skill levels,” he said. “So the main thing you wanted to do is make them have fun and work on the skills you could get them to achieve. The key was you wanted them to have fun.” The U.S. Army was on hand to promote fitness. “It was all about the promotion of fitness for the upcoming generation,” said Sgt. Bridget Pena. “As the United States Army, we like to give back to our community and promote fitness.” Only three out of 10 Americans are fit enough to qualify for military duty, she said.

Computer stores host summer learning Park Meadows retailers help expand children’s technological talents By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Parker elementary school student Tyler Diak initially wasn’t sold on the idea of attending a summer camp, much less one inside a Park Meadows mall store. But the typically shy boy came away from the first session enthused. “He said it was amazing,” mom Noelle Diak said. Tyler’s among a dozen 8- to 10-year-olds who attended Microsoft’s Movie Maker camp for two hours during the week of July 21. It’s among a series of free student camps called YouthSpark hosted by the Lone Tree store from June

2 to Aug. 29. Camp themes include including game coding, game design, movie making, photography and coding, and are divided by age for kids from 8 to 13. Parents aren’t left out either; each day’s class includes 30 minutes of instruction for them. They also are required to stay in the store during sessions. “When we started opening up stores, we really wanted to make sure we were reaching out to our community; that’s really been a big driving force behind this,” said Jessica Oeleis, community development specialist for the Lone Tree store. “As technology is getting bigger and bigger, we want to make sure we have an opportunity to give the students different levels of education.” Kids come from near and far, though most hail from Douglas County.

Two of the Diaks’ three children attend the classes. Their father, John Diak doesn’t think the Microsoft sessions dovetail with the curriculum at Tyler’s American Academy school, but he sees it as education nonetheless. “It’s a great supplement,” said Diak, a Parker Town Council member. “They’re actually participating in creating something here. It’s more social and creative as opposed to just being an end user. I appreciate that. Usually, they’re sitting in front of a screen at home. Here, you’ve put them in a situation where they can be creative with others.” Kerala Parikh, a soon-to-be third-grader at Highlands Ranch’s Bear Canyon Elementary, was making new friends in her Microsoft camp classes. Whether or not she would see them again was not a concern. “I have no idea where she lives,” she said, smiling at the girl who sat next to her. “It’s fun and l like learning how to make movies. And meeting new people is fun.” Instructor Devin Thaxton is part of the attraction. A Lone Tree resident who practices magic tricks when the children’s attention occasionally strays, Thaxton also offers personal guidance and a smile to each student. Teaching comes easily to the Microsoft employee. “I love it,” he said. “It’s the best thing in the entire world.” Down one level at the Park Meadows’ Apple Store, similar classes are offered to kids ages 8 to 12. Those focus on making movies and interactive books.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF JULY 28, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Your honesty is, as always, admirable. But you might want to be more tactful in discussing a sensitive issue with a family member. Remember: You can give advice without giving offense. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) An unexpected workplace snag should be handled quickly and efficiently so that it leaves you time for family get-togethers. Also, you might soon get that long-sought apology. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Aspects favor family matters, especially where children might be involved. Spending time with loved ones helps restore some much-needed balance to your typically busy schedule.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) That seemingly clear-cut agreement might not be quite so straightforward after all. Recheck for language that could make you liable for hidden costs and other unpleasant surprises. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Careful, Kitty. Better to deal with someone with proven reliability than with a big talker who promises much but can’t confirm that he or she will deliver. Your social life really zings this weekend. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Your matchmaking skills are at peak performance levels both in helping to staff workplace teams for upcoming projects and for bringing people together on a more personal basis. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You’re finally seeing some progress with your new venture. But be prepared for it to continue at a slower pace than you’re used to. Meanwhile, a loved one could be preparing a surprise. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A family member’s success pulls you into the spotlight as well. Enjoy it, but don’t let it overshadow or otherwise obstruct what you’re doing with your own creative projects. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Using what you already know might not be quite enough to get a proposed project off the ground. Look for any new information that might help tilt the scales in your favor. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Good news: While a changing workplace environment can be daunting for some, it could be the challenge you’ve been hoping for. If so, confront it with confidence and move on. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) It’s a good time to recheck travel arrangements for any changes that could work to your advantage. Aspects also favor strengthening and restoring old, fraying relationships. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Using your intuitive reasoning helps you cut right through the double-talk and go straight to what’s really going on around you. Stay the course until all your questions are answered. BORN THIS WEEK: You radiate light and warmth, and others love being close to you. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Lone Tree vet donates care for abandoned dog La Plata County pup recovering after fall from truck and complicated surgery By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Rusty the puppy fell from the bed of a moving truck in Durango July 12, one of his legs shattered. His owner, the truck’s driver, abandoned the injured dog. Rusty was among five homeless, injured dogs brought recently to the La Plata County Animal Shelter in Durango. Lacking money to care for them, shelter leaders sent out a call for help. Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center responded. Today, the 8-month-old dog is recovering in a kennel at the Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center after a 5-hour, $4,000 surgery to repair his leg. Eventually, the brown-eyed, sweet-tempered mixed-breed will be ready for adoption. “He’s getting more love and attention than he’s probably ever had, and he’s graciously accepting it all,” center co-director Nancy Moyle said. Rusty’s treatment was donated by the clinic through its Mercy Care program, a fund established by Moyle and her husband, veterinarian Bill Moyle, to help abandoned animals. Nancy Moyle saw a news report about the injured La Plata County dogs on the television news. Because Bill Moyle is skilled inPublic orthopedic care, she believed they could help.
