Warriors ready to reclaim library Project nears completion as first day of school approaches By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Standing in the Arapahoe High School library with the students who have been working since January to restore its soul is a study in contrasts. On one hand, it’s impossible not to think about the young life that ended inside that space on Dec. 13, 2013, and the one that ended in a hallway just outside its doors. On the other hand, the teenagers who visited it on Aug. 6 to see its transformation, one they conceived of, are a testament to hope and the indomitable spirit of youth. “We all just wanted to help in some way,” said Austin Brumley, who will be a junior when classes start on Aug. 15. Construction on the library will be almost complete by then, likely wrapping up by Aug. 21. “After the events of the 13th went down,
we knew we wanted to get the library open again, but we knew we needed a new image for it,” said Addison Callahan, who was a senior on that terrible day, when Karl Pierson killed himself there after fatally shooting classmate Claire Davis. Callahan was a student assistant at the library, working there several days a week. “It was my home away from home,” she said. The new library will offer gentle nods of remembrance to the tragedy, with every student who attended Arapahoe on the day of the shootings having signed a memory book that will be placed in a time capsule somewhere in the library. But nobody wants it to be the focus. So when students return, the face of the library will be their symbol of strength, a large Arapahoe Warrior featured prominently on a window in front of the entrance. Thanks to a new storefront entryway, it will be visible from the hallway. “It’s something familiar that people like,” Brumley said. “We’re creating a different space, but we wanted to include Library continues on Page 23

CDOT calls lane effort a success Short-term congestion tactic likely to be used elsewhere By Jane Reuter

Attendees to the Aug. 9 Centennial Under the Stars event at Centennial Center Park were treated to a rocking performance by DSB: America’s Favorite Tribute to Journey. Close to 5,000 people attended the ninth annual city celebration in the park. Photos courtesy of the City of Centennial
Don’t Stop Believin’ A multitude of kids activities, fresh produce, and rock ‘n’ roll. The 9th Annual Centennial Under the Stars event attracted approximately 5,000 people Aug. 9 to Centennial Center Park, where people enjoyed the music of Dave Preston, Rachel and the Kings, and DSB: America’s Favorite Tribute to Journey, the latter of which played Journey songs in front of a dazzling laser light show.
The Colorado Department of Transportation said its through-lane experiment on southbound Interstate 25 has been a success, and it likely will use the strategy elsewhere in the state. The method included adding a solid white lane to designate the left-hand lane from about Dry Creek Road to near RidgeGate Parkway for through traffic only. It is set for elimination as the two-year lanebalancing project gets underway this month. Some south-metro area residents who have used the lane gave it a tentative thumbs-up. “I think the concept is great,” said Larkspur resident Lee Martin. “I like the idea of being able to get past, especially at that Lincoln exit that jams up so bad. If we can keep that steady flow going on for people going south, I think it’s a great idea. “But I think in the limited time it was used, the public didn’t get it. It kind of irritated me that people were still crossing in and out of the lane. There would need to be some public education done on it. In a longer period of time, I think that would happen.” Martin also said the dedicated lane seemed irrelevant later in the evenings,

Talk puts fracking front and center Hickenlooper says panel seeking compromise will be his responsibility By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper said last week that he will be the one who selects the members of a task force that will be charged with finding a compromise on issues surrounding hydraulic fracturing. The governor also addressed concerns on the part of Republicans that the commission’s work could result in more regulations on the oil and gas industry. Hickenlooper talked about fracking during an Aug. 8 roundtable event with several business leaders at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce in Centennial, as well as during an interview with Colorado Community Media afterward. The governor said his administration hasn’t quite figured out how the 18-member commission will be selected or how it will ultimately operate. But the governor put aside any question as to who will put the task force together. “People ask me, `Who’s gonna pick ‘em?’ I am,” Hickenlooper said. “The buck stops here and I guarantee you we’re going to have everybody pissed off again. The one criteria is that everyone who is going to be on that list is someone who believes we can get to a yes (on a compromise).” The task force was born out of a deal the governor reached with Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis earlier in the week that will keep anti-fracking initiatives that Polis was backing from appearing on the November ballot. The measures would have required greater distances between wells and occupied structures and would have given communities more control over fracking - the process in which water and chemicals are blasted into the ground to free up trapped oil and gas.
Remarks in spotlight
Hickenlooper and the oil and gas indus-
try were fearful that the initiatives would essentially ban fracking in Colorado and cripple the state’s economy. Instead of the voters, it will be the task force that will take up those issues and that will provide recommendations for potential legislation to the General Assembly. But Republican lawmakers are already feeling uneasy about the commission. And their concerns were heightened following comments Hickenlooper made during an energy summit in Denver earlier in the week. According to the Associated Press, Hickenlooper said the task force’s “success is dependent upon it ending in regulation.” That comment didn’t sit well with House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland. “We should go into it from the premise that the commission take a look at whether we actually need regulations,” DelGrosso said in an interview prior to the governor’s Chamber of Commerce event. “He’s starting with the premise that it’s going to be set up to regulate.” Hickenlooper, in an interview with Colorado Community Media, insisted that’s not what he said, even though he made his comments in front of a group of reporters. “What I said was legislation,” the governor said. “Go back and look at the quotes. I never said we needed more regulation. Now, we might. Again, this is the whole point of getting people from all the different viewpoints in the same room and letting them have a discussion in such a way to try to figure out: `Is there a compromise here?’” Hickenlooper said he would like to see the task force’s effort result in some kind of legislation, even if it’s merely “taking existing regulation and codifying it.” “Unless we get it into legislation, I mean we would have made progress, even if we just discuss it we will have made progress,” he said during the interview. “But I think that the best success will be if we get to some level of legislation.” Hickenlooper said the commission will have a “narrow focus,” one that he hopes will result in work getting done in a timely manner.

Gov. John Hickenlooper speaks during an Aug. 8 roundtable discussion with business leaders at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce in Centennial. Photo by Vic Vela “We’re not going to be out there talking about air quality; we’re not going to be out there talking about water quality,” he said. “We’re really going to look into surface use issues, a very narrow set of issues to talk about.”
From 48 to 18
The governor said there were different opinions among his staff regarding the makeup of the commission, including an initial suggestion that the task force have 48 members. The governor believes that an 18-member commission will have the appropriate balance of interests being considered. “The idea is there’s six spots for the oil and gas industry, but that would include pro-industry sides like home builders and agricultural interests,” he said during the roundtable forum. “There should be six from the local control and the environmental side of things ... And then six civic leaders who as far as we can tell are not on the record one way or the other, who are what the Quakers call a fair witness.” The governor acknowledges that there are logistics that still need to be figured out.
“We still have a lot to work through,” he said. “You know, (such as) if you want a representative from agriculture, is it from the Cattlemen’s Association or the wheat growers?” State Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, the chairman of the House Transportation and Energy Committee who crafted several pieces of energy-related legislation, said he is hopeful that the task force will result in legislation that is needed to tackle this “really thorny problem.” “We need to make sure that everybody has a voice,” Tyler said in a phone interview. “Ballot initiatives are a huge sledgehammer and you never know what the consequences are going to be and you can’t make changes. And that’s not good policy.” But DelGrosso said he doesn’t know “if you’ll actually see legislation come out of the commission.” And, when asked how a battle over fracking would rank on the list of other controversial measures taken up by the General Assembly in recent years, DelGrosso said, “Extremely high.” “The reality is the economic impact that the oil and gas industry has in Colorado is tremendous,” DelGrosso said.

A sophisticated and educated palate Culinary event to host local certified master chefs
IF YOU GO What: Certified Master Chefs reunion Where: Governor’s Residence at the Boettcher Mansion, 400 E. 8th Ave., Denver, 80203 When: 6-8 p.m. Aug. 16 Cost: $75 per person.

There is a saying chefs often use that goes, “We can take a sow’s ear and turn it into a silk purse.” “We’re craftsmen,” Certified Master Chef Bill Franklin said. “We know how to take the ingredients and work them into something good.” Surely pig’s ears or silk purses will not be served, but attendees of the first certified master chef reunion will have an opportunity to taste cuisine developed from the recipes of some of America’s most prestigious chefs. About 25 certified master chefs from across the United States will be attending the reunion on Aug. 16, which will benefit the American Culinary Federation Colorado Chefs Association’s Education Fund and the Governor’s Mansion Preservation Fund. The culinary event is open to the public and will take place at the Governor’s Residence at the Boettcher Mansion in Denver. The attending certified master chefs developed the menu, but local chefs will prepare all entrees. The goal is to make the reunion an annual event with hopes of building the event so that all 68 certified master chefs living in the United States will be able to attend within the next few years, said Joan Brewster, the executive director for the American Culinary Federation Colorado Chefs Association. “It’s the first ever reunion for these elite certified master chefs,” Brewster said. “We couldn’t be more excited to be the first city to host such a gathering.” Of the 68 American certified master chefs, three reside in Colorado — Franklin in Centennial, Certified
Certified Master Chef Bill Franklin, of Centennial, will be among 25 chefs from across the nation who will gather Aug. 16 for a rare culinary showcase at the Governor’s Residence in Denver. Courtesy photo Master Chef Ed Janos in Highlands Ranch and Certified Master Chef Dieter Kiessling in Glenwood Springs. “Typically, people don’t think of Colorado as being a culinary mecca,” Janos said. “(But) Denver is unique because it has the single largest chapter of the American Culinary Federation.” The term master chef often misleads the American public because it is used loosely, the chefs said, and in order to be a master chef with certification, a person has to take an intensive exam to prove his or her worthiness. There are a number of certification levels, with certified master chef being the highest achievement. Only about 50 percent of those who attempt the exam are able to pass it, the chefs said. Both Franklin, who passed the exam in 1988, and Janos, who passed in 1992, said that even after successfully completing the test and earning their titles, they realized how much more they needed to learn. “The fundamentals of cooking are
easy. But I’m always looking to learn something new and expand,” Franklin said. “That keeps us peaked and interested.” American master chefs have to know a little bit of everything, the chefs said, with one expectation being a good handle on using indigenous ingredients. Although, a lot of their knowledge has come from traveling, tasting and experiencing, from which they developed a sophisticated and educated palate, the chefs said. One advantage of discovering and cooking with new ingredients is creating fusion. “It’s taking ingredients from the world and making something pleasing to the American palate,” Janos said. “It’s a cool way to introduce them to something new.” Franklin has been employed with Nestlé for the past 20 years as a professional corporate chef. He is part of a collaborative team that develops products for large Nestlé customers. Janos, along with his wife, Kristi, owns and operates Cook’s Fresh Market, located in downtown Denver. Although masters in their trade, both Janos and Franklin said they will always appreciate the efforts of the local eateries. “It’s the local places that represent our craft,” Franklin said, “and the trade.”

NEWS IN A HURRY
What killed the fish?
South Suburban Parks and Recreation says temperature was the likely culprit in the untimely deaths of many fish in Ketring Lake at the end of June and beginning of July. It was good news that Denver Water was able to spare some water for the lake, but it was cold. The water in the lake was pretty warm after several days in the 90-degree range. That caused the lake to “turn over,” said spokesperson Jamie DeBartolomeis, meaning all of the warm water rose to the top.
“It puts a whole spin on the ecosystem of the lake,” she said. DeBartolomeis said chemicals used to kill algae a few days before aren’t responsible, since SSPR uses them all the time and they are safe for the fish. SSPR workers retrieved all the dead fish they could, and by Aug. 3, the problem seemed to have resolved itself. Colorado Parks and Wildlife stocks the lake on a regular basis, so the fish population will be replenished.

Recycling law to hike paint prices By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Paint prices will eventually go up under a new law aimed at promoting recycling. The law, parts of which took effect last week, tacks on a fee for household paint purchases. The fee will go toward the creation of a paint recycling drop-off program. State Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, who backed the legislation that led to the law, said she hopes the program will have a positive environmental impact. “It is the highest volume product that is not recycled,” Newell said of used paint cans. “It either ends up in landfills with paint inside cans or it ends up sitting in people’s basements, or it ends up in the water stream.” The drop-off centers will be located at home improvement and hardware stores, where cans can be recycled at no cost. “Retailers themselves don’t have to do this,” Newell said, “but the majority will
want to be a retail recycling site because it drives traffic to their stores.” The process of creating the program began last week. After the new year, retailers will get together to discuss the full implementation of the program, Newell said. The per-can fee amount is not detailed in the legislation’s fiscal analysis, but it is estimated that at least $93,000 in fees will be needed to be collected in the first year in order for the state to cover administrative costs. The cost doesn’t sit well with Republicans, the overwhelming majority of whom voted against the bill earlier this year. “Once again Governor (John) Hickenlooper and the Democrats have created yet another burdensome program that heaps more unnecessary fees onto consumers in Colorado,” House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, said through an emailed statement. “Now that this law has gone into effect, Coloradans can thank the Democrats for the increased cost of paint.”

Don’t come up three words shy in family life is good tip to live by. In the civic arena of the early election season, we say don’t be four words short. Be able to stand up and say, “I registered to vote.” Even though matters of hydraulic fracturing have gone the way of a task force instead of ballot questions, plenty of other heady issues and candidate choices will be in play Nov. 4. The general election will be conducted with mail ballots expected to land in mailboxes by the second week of October. Those who voted in the primary are generally confident of their registrations and simply await their ballots. But those not in the thrust of Republican and Democrat party primary activities may want to take a few seconds to double check their registration status at respective county websites.
&
OUR VIEW Not to cause worry, but it really only takes a moment to check a voter registration through links on county websites — and to newly register is an easy process as well. Something good to know is that registered voters remain registered in perpetuity by state law. Registrations are removed only when a mail ballot comes back as undeliverable for two election cycles. So a long as voters keep address information up to date and accurate, the ballots keep coming. Those who register before the eighth
day before the election at www.govotecolorado.com will automatically receive a mail ballot. After the eighth day, those wanting to register must visit one of the Voter Service and Polling Centers in their respective counties. Applications received through voter registration drives must be received 22 days before the election. And ultimately, in Colorado citizens may register Election Day in-person at a county voter service and polling center. And who can vote? The basics: A voter must be 18, a United States citizen, have resided in Colorado for 22 days before the election and not serving certain types of criminal sentences. So come November don’t be even two words shy. Let’s all be wearing “I voted” stickers. To register, go to www.arapahoevotes. com/.

Looking for the good and creating joy The past five weeks have been extremely busy, including several flights and two cross-country road trips. Albeit I snuck in a vacation at the beach, I was unable to heed my own advice and completely disconnect from work and completely revel in the sun and sand. However, I will say this, as crazy as the business trips and vacation have been, they have also been exceedingly productive and energizing. You see, part of the problem sometimes, even when we are on vacation, is that we quickly get frustrated with situations and others around us. We look for the bad instead of the good. You know what I mean, right? We are in line for an attraction or dinner and someone jumps the line and gets in ahead of us. And, yes, that can be completely exasperating, but only if we allow it. What if we just allowed ourselves to think positively and think, “Well, maybe they have some reason that is more urgent for them to go first than mine.” Or maybe, in the case of the restaurant, “They will not get the best server and we will.” My old boss, mentor, and great friend Zig Ziglar used to remind us that, “Some people go around looking for the bad like there was some kind of reward for it.” And if we look for the bad, it sure is easy to find. However, I am here to remind you, as Zig always reminded me, that it is just as easy and maybe even easier to look for and find the good in people, situations, and in life. I know, I know, how could that even be possible when so many things seem
to stack up against us at times? Money problems, work-related issues, health crises, and broken or damaged relationships take up residence in our lives when we least expect them, and we would certainly rather be looking at a brighter picture. And we can look for that brighter picture through the lens of hope. Even in the face of these very issues that hurt us, frustrate us, or limit us, we can look for that silver lining and absolutely look for the good. When we have money problems we are forced to rethink our current strategy and plan. I know many people who have dealt with bankruptcy only to find their passion and start their very own successful business. There are countless stories of people with work-related challenges, who always used to blame the company or others for their problems, who then found out that they could contribute at a higher level personally and took ownership of improving the current office environment. And most inspiring are those people facing a health issue rising up to either help others in the same situation or never allowing their debilitation to limit
their performance. They search out what is good and what can be done and get after it. The emails I have received from our community over these past fiveplus years include incredible stories of people who felt brokenhearted until they realized that relationships that were intended to be mended were, and those relationships that needed to end actually ended, and they were never happier once they sought out the good in themselves and became less reliant on others for true happiness. Have you ever been on the highway while another driver was swerving in and out of traffic, almost causing an accident, and the whole experience left you absolutely troubled? What if for one minute we stopped and thought that maybe they have a medical emergency and are trying to get to the hospital? Now that occurs in about 2 percent of all rude driver behavior instances, but it could happen, and if we looked for the good instead of getting angered and upset, we could easily continue on our very merry way. Finding joy begins with each one of us looking for the good instead of the bad. How about you, can you use a little more “good finding” in your life? If so, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and as we collectively look for the good it really will be a better than good week.

More than 400 guests attended the 2014 SaddleUp! Denver Suitcase Party held Friday, Aug. 8 at the AeroColorado hangar at Centennial Airport. The event four-hour event raised more than $300,000 for the SaddleUp!

Power to the pony Lovers of the horse, as well as horsepower, gathered the evening of Aug. 8 at Centennial Airport to rein in hope — and funds — for the SaddleUp! Foundation, an Elizabeth-based organization that provides equine-assisted therapy to special needs individuals, their families and caregivers. Approximately 400 guests attended the annual charity event held inside the AeroColorado hangar and, within four hours, raised more than $300,000. The luxury travel-themed Denver Suitcase Party is a dinner auction where guests come dressed and packed for the chance to win an all-expense paid trip, via private jet, to Napa Valley, Calif. Former Denver Bronco Reggie Rivers served as celebrity auctioneer, along with special guest, Cherry Hills Village mayor, Doug Tisdale.

Public invited to discuss C-470 project By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
Commuters and residents alike are invited to attend a town hall meeting Aug. 19 in Highlands Ranch to learn more about the project to expand C-470. Attendees will “learn about the new innovative era of transportation and share thoughts on funding the proposed improvements on C-470 from I-25 to Wadsworth,” states a news release from the Colorado Department of Transportation. The meeting is from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Highlands Ranch Metro District building, 62 Plaza Drive. “We have preliminary information, and we’re coming to the community to gather their input,” said Megan Castle, a spokeswoman with CDOT. There is an education piece to the meeting, Castle said, but the main focus is to get feedback from the public. She said it has to be determined which avenues need to be taken in order for the project to continue to move forward. The intention of the project is to relieve congestion and improve safety and mobility on C-470 by constructing additional
lanes. Three funding options were proposed, one being sales and property tax increases, and one was adding a toll for all use of C-470. Public input proved these two options to be unfavorable to the citizens, and on Feb. 7, 2013, the C-470 Coalition voted to place a toll on only the new express lanes of the highway. The user-based toll option passed 7-0 among the coalition. However, the express lane toll is not to generate revenue, but more about managing traffic flow. Key presenters at the town hall meeting include representatives from CDOT, the C-470 project team and the C-470 Coalition, which is made up of representatives from Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties; the Highlands Ranch Metro District; and the cities of Centennial, Greenwood Village, Littleton and Lone Tree. The first hour will consist of a discussion on financing and partnership opportunities for the proposed improvements to the busy stretch of highway. That discussion will be followed by a presentation including an “update on the C-470 project, innovations in transportation choice, funding and project delivery, how public private partnerships (P3) are

Evergreen duo’s tiny home gets big attention
“Primary Colors” by Littleton photographer Andy Marquez will be available at the Affordable Arts Festival on Aug. 24 at Arapahoe Community College. Courtesy photos
Original art at ACC has bargain prices Festival devoted to affordable works returns By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Last year, I sold a piece originally priced at $795 for $100,” Littleton photographer Andy Marquez said of the Affordable Art Festival at Arapahoe Community College. “The customer was extremely happy.” Marquez will be in Booth 42 when the show returns later this month. Like other established artists, both local and national, who participate in the Affordable Art Festival, Marquez had accumulated some surplus inventory and wished to sell it to make room for new work in his gallery. This concept has been successful elsewhere in the country, where show manager Jim Delutes had observed it and brought it to Colorado last year at ACC. Potter Peggy Crago and metal artist Rick Martin, both of Englewood, will also be there, as will award winners from other shows, such as sculptor Arabella Tattershall, who won Best of Show at the 2013 Downtown Denver Arts Festival, and plein air painter Deborah McAllister of Lakewood, who won numerous awards last season. Sean Brown of Houston, who is also signed on as an exhibitor, has jewelry in former Secretary of State Madeline Albright’s famous collection. Jim Delutes, who also runs the large Downtown Denver Arts Festival on Memorial Day weekend, said that over 130 artists will show and sell works for $100 or less from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 24, from tents on Arapahoe Community College’s wide west lawn at the Littleton campus, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive. Admission costs $5 per person, which will go to the ACC Foundation for scholarships to deserving students. Delutes mentions easy access from RTD’s C and D light-rail lines and lots of free parking on the campus. He also mentions the show’s popularity and a long line of art lovers waiting to get in. Music will add to the pleasure of attending: At the north end of the festival, John (Jake) Jacobs will perform on the dulcimer and at the south end, attendees will find classical and acoustic guitar duo Skanson and Hansen.
Twelve’s number is up
Metal art by Rick Martin of Englewood will be available at the Affordable Art Festival on Aug. 24 at ACC.
IF YOU GO The 2014 Affordable Art Festival will be held on the west lawn of Arapahoe Community College, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 24. Admission: $5, which benefits the ACC Foundation. Information: affordableartsfestival.com.
Evergreen couple Kristen Moeller and David Cottrell and their two dogs were already living in a 1,200-square-foot tight space when their home burned to the ground, a casualty of the Lower North Fork Fire. Everything was gone save the dogs and some wedding pictures Moeller snagged before evacuating. As they rebuilt their lives after such a tremendous loss, they opted to rebuild their dwelling — this time a 500-square-foot tiny home, less than half the size of their former house. Either by choice or by circumstance, there’s a growing number of homeowners joining the tiny house movement, as featured in the series “Tiny Home Nation”, on A&E’s sibling network FYI. TV hosts John Weisbarth and Zack Giffin travel across America to document miniature houses and their full-size inhabitants. The episode about the Evergreen couple, “Rocky Mountain Mansion,” airs at 8 p.m. MDT on Aug. 13 on FYI. According to the “Tiny House Nation” website, www.fyi.tv/shows/tiny-housenation, “Renovation experts and hosts, Weisbarth and Giffin, travel across America to show off ingenious small spaces and the inventive people who live in them, as well as help new families design and construct their own mini-dream home in a space no larger than 500 square feet. From a micro-apartment in New York City to a caboose car turned home in Montana to a micro-sized mobile home for road tripping - this is a series that celebrates the exploding movement of tiny homes. From pricey to budget friendly, `Tiny House Nation’ is not a typical design show, but one that proves size doesn’t always matter - it’s creativity that counts.” Lowest prices for tiny homes hover around $20,000, depending on the construction and labor cost, while customized homes with upgrades can run upwards of $50,000.
Pottery by Englewood Potter Peggy Crago will be shown at the Affordable Art Festival on Aug. 24.
Twelve, the Ballpark neighborhood restaurant that much-lauded chef-owner Jeff Osaka opened in November 2008, will serve its last supper on Aug. 23 in the 2233 Larimer location. Osaka said he plans to reopen in a new space that allows more seating than the tiny eatery now accommodates. “I opened Twelve on the same day that Barack Obama was elected president of the United States, and I’m closing Twelve on my 50th birthday, so I guess you could say that I’m a man who marks milestones,” said Osaka, whose own mark on the Denver dining scene has resulted in a swell of accolades, including a 2014 James Beard semifinalist nomination for Best Chef Southwest. Osaka, who opened Twelve when the Ballpark area was still in its infancy, rose to culinary prominence with his seasonally intensive, peak-produce menus that changed on the first day of each month, an endeavor that resulted in 70 menus and more than 1,000 different dishes. For reservations through Aug. 23, call 303-293-0287 or go to www.opentable. com. After Twelve closes, the space will become Butcher’s Bistro, a retail butcher shop and restaurant helmed by Scott Bauer, the regional manager of Snooze, and Tyson Holzheimer, the regional chef at Snooze. Butcher’s Bistro plans to open in October, serving lunch, happy hour and dinner from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Parker continues on Page 12

Yacht Club sets sail
Yacht Club, a community bar inspired by the casual drinking and social cultures from around the world, will open Aug. 20 in the center area at the Source, 3350 Brighton Blvd., in the space formerly occupied by the CapRock Farm Bar. Owned by Mary Wright, the Yacht Club aims to be a gathering place for locals, visitors and industry professionals. A full service bar, the Yacht Club will build on the idea of social drinking. ”We want the space to have something for everyone and also showcase how diverse the world of booze can be,” Wright said. “In the islands, you have Ti Punch, in Spain (there are) sherry or gin and tonics, as well as favorites here like juleps, cobblers, or a shot and a beer. At the Yacht Club we will showcase some of these ideas, as well as some of our own.”
Overheard Eavesdropping on a man and his mother: “Mom, why don’t we go to the optometrist so you can get bifocals?” “If I have bifocals, I’ll look old.” “You’re almost 88. You’re wearing two pairs of glasses now and you have one pair resting on your forehead while you use the other one. That kinda makes you look old.”
`Taste’ makes return
Take a bite (or 12) out of Douglas County at the 12th annual Taste of Douglas County, where local restaurateurs will show off fine fare from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 21 at the Douglas County Events Center. “Twelve years ago I realized that Douglas County had a fine selection of restaurants and decided to put on an event that would highlight many of those places to area residents,” said Mike Boyle, host of the Restaurant Show on Newstalk KNUS 710 AM radio and Comcast Channel 8. “This will give people an inexpensive evening out while enjoying wonderful cuisine from many area restaurants and food service establishments.”

One, two, three pitchers ‘you’re out’ Private pitching instructors a key to success of area aces By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Any team with starting senior pitchers like Ally Power, Savannah Heebner and Janelle Gardner would definitely be considered favorites to win the state championship. Any team with just one of those pitchers would have a good chance of being very successful. Pitching, obviously, is vital to the success of any high school girls softball team. “The bottom line is pitching in softball is the most important position in the game,” said Dave Atencio who will be coaching for his 21st season and second at Valor Christian. “It doesn’t matter if you have great hitters, if you have top level pitching, nine times out of 10 that is going to win you championships.” Ponderosa, Castle View and Legend will all celebrate top-level pitching this season. Power, the reigning Colorado Community Media South Metro Pitcher of the Year and the Colorado Gatorade Player of the Year of a year ago, helped Ponderosa advance to the Class 4A state semifinals last fall. She won 17 games, had a 0.78 earned run average and struck out 277 batters in 152 innings pitched. Power also led the team with a .442 batting average. Heebner is the ace for Castle View, winning 11 games with a 1.55 ERA and tossing 204 strikeouts in 122 innings. She was also the Sabercats leading hitter at .478. Gardner pitched every game for Legend and helped the Titans reach the Class 5A state title game. She won 13 games with a 1.48 ERA and fanned 78 batters in 108.2 innings. “Power, Heebner and Janelle are three of the top pitchers in the state,” boasted Legend coach Shelly Boyd. There are other pitchers on teams from south metro schools that could help their teams have triumphant seasons, too. Atencio has three quality young hurlers in junior Alexandra Kinder, sophomore Abby Zuschlag and freshman Ali Kiltonan. Seniors Sam Hardy of Douglas County and Hannah Hatten of ThunderRidge are back and Arapahoe’s Allie Hanson returns after missing last season with a knee injury. Heritage junior Carly Carlsen won nine games a year ago. “There’s no way you can really argue that pitching isn’t the most important (aspect of the game),” argued Ponderosa coach Toby Tabola. “Our team is a perfect example of that. On the other hand we had arguably the best pitcher in the state and we didn’t win the state championship. “You have to have a team that can play defense and put runs up or it doesn’t matter how good your pitching is but obviously the team’s success is going to center around the strength of their pitching. If
Valor Christian is expected to have a strong pitching rotation this fall. The staff will be highlighted by, from left, freshman Ali Kiltonan, sophomore Abby Zuschiag and junior Alexandra Kinder. Photos by Jim Benton you have a team that hits and plays good defense without good pitching you stand a chance to be successful but if I had to go one way or the other, I’d take the pitching. There’s no doubt that pitching is going to be what makes or breaks you.” One ace pitcher can pitch almost every game in a high school season. The natural arm movement of pitching softball averts injuries. Plus, the high school schedule of three games a week as opposed to the summer club slates with sometimes four or five games during a weekend allows the high school pitcher to be able to throw each game. “The big thing is you can run with one pitcher,” said Atencio. “Many state championship teams had just one pitcher. To me if you have what I always call the horse, you can ride that horse to the state championship.” The time between games during the regular season allows one pitcher to throw most of the innings. Regional and state tournament games might require a pitcher to enter the circle twice during a day. Boyd has a hard time to ever pull Gardner out of a game and Power and Heebner rarely worry about getting fatigued. “There’s really never been a point where I’ve gotten tired,” said Gardner. “I just train for it. It depends on the situation. If it’s going good I don’t want to be pulled. It’s just how I am. But, if it’s a bad situation, yeah pull me.” Heebner also says pitching changes are usually dictated by the situation.
“Sometimes you are tired but you won’t hurt your arm,” she said. “It usually depends on how we are doing. If we are winning and I’m tired, I will usually stay in. If we are losing and I’m tired and they are hitting off of me, then we’ll probably switch out the pitchers.” Power relies on endurance. “It’s all about endurance and I build it through practice,” she said. “I make sure I don’t get tired, especially if I do have to throw two games. When I do get tired I just keep pushing myself and drink water to keep hydrated. I don’t get out of control but I do loose a little momentum. I make sure I pick it up when I am looking tired.” Most quality high school pitchers, such as Heebner, have private pitching coaches and arrive at high schools with most of their pitches developed through long hours of pitching on club teams in the summer. Power and Gardner also developed and refined pitches with private tutors and during club competition during the summer. “We’ve taught Ally to be a smarter pitcher, knowing when to throw certain pitches, what location to throw certain pitches so our coaching comes to play with that but the actually development of her pitches was done before we got her,” admitted Tabola. “Her pitches were already there. We don’t develop the pitcher, we develop the strategy and how to be a good pitcher.” Power acknowledges she has a better knowledge of how to pitch. “I slowly learned each pitch as I grew

In four years of high school, I have grown a lot on situations on what to throw and when to throw it. I have learned a lot.”
SOFTBALL TEAMS AT A GLANCE Arapahoe
Coach: Jeannie Krueger 2013 Highlights: 3-11 in Centennial League and 4-15 overall. The Warriors were a young with mostly freshmen and sophomores on the team. A lack of pitching depth was tough to overcome. Top Returning Players: Allie Hanson, P, Sr.; Dasia Vavrik, CF, Jr.; Delaney Mullins, 1B, Jr.; Ashlynn Krueger, P, Soph. 2014 Outlook: Hanson missed last season with a knee injury and the Warriors will have three pitchers in the rotation. A year of experience might be noticed in the win column. “With three pitchers in the rotation and a little more experience, the Warriors should be competitive in the Centennial League,” said Krueger.
Cherry Creek
Coach: Bill Kramm 2013 Highlights: Bruins were 6-8 in the Centennial League and 8-11 overall. Top Returning Players: Sterling Martin, P,1B, Jr.; Cassidy Blakeley, P,SS Jr. 2014 Outlook: Creek returns 10 players with varsity experience, but those players will be challenged by the growth of younger players and incoming freshman. The offense looks to be solid. “With hard work this summer and a few additions, the defense is much improved,” said Kramm. “The expectations for this season and our quest for a regional bid are looking promising.”
Heritage
Coach: Pablo Severtson 2013 Highlights: Eagles were 5-5 in the Continental League and 9-10 overall. Top Returning Players: Carly Carlson, P,SS, Jr.; Sydney Ballinger, OF, Soph.; Amanda Stanton, 3B, Sr.; Gabbi Mato, C, Jr. 2014 Outlook: Heritage and Littleton merge to form a softball team and the Eagles’ young players were forced to step up and play a lot. Carlson is back as a pitcher to watch. “Hopefully we will be around .500 and compete well in the league,” stated Severtson. “We started four freshmen last year and I want to see what the jump will be from their freshmen to their sophomore years.”
Valor Chrisitan
Coach: Dave Atencio 2013 Highlights: The Eagles went 17-6 and reached that Class 4A Sweet 16 for the first time with a team that had only one senior. Top Returning Players: Abby Zuschlag, P, Soph,; Morgan Petrone, 3B, Sr.; Kendall Ohman, OF, Sr.; Alexandra Kinder, P, Jr.; Shelby Mann, 2B, Sr.; Makenna Roth, OF, Sr. 2014 Outlook: The Eagles will be playing in the Jeffco 4A league and have eight starters returning. Talented freshman Ali Kiltonan will add to a strong pitching staff that includes Zuschlag and Kinder — who combined to record all 17 Valor wins a season ago.

Cross country camps build bonds South metro teams hit mountain trails to prepare for season By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Several south metro cross country teams headed for the hills this summer. It was a way to get some training on rugged mountain trails and establish team bonding for cross country teams in what is uniquely both an individual and team sport. Mountain Vista went camping at Rocky Mountain State Park. Highlands Ranch ventured to Copper Mountain for a fitnessfriendly experience that included running, biking, swimming and
fun. Castle View conducted a high altitude camp in Leadville at Colorado Mountain College. Chaparral went on a camping expedition to Golden Gate Canyon State Park. Heritage had 21 runners travel to Breckenridge for training, setting team and individual goals and watching the boys and girls trade cooking duties. Rock Canyon had a three-day high altitude camp at Winter Park that included vigorous trail runs in addition to building team camaraderie “We all have different conditioning programs to get ready for the season,” said Mountain Vista coach Jonathan Dalby, whose boys team is the defending Class 5A state champions. “I know some of the teams go on camping trips and stuff for a week for kind
of team bonding. “We stayed at a camp site in the park. It was a bonding thing for us. We ran in the morning up one of the mountains. It’s more about bonding.” There were 40 Vista athletes who made the trip, set up tents, made campfires, grilled hamburgers and bonded when they were not running vertical trails. “It was a great time for the team,” said junior Paxton Smith. “We ran in the morning and it was probably one of the hardest trails of our lives, my life at least. The park trail was rocky, had an intense climb and it was harder because we were at high altitude. “It’s was so much fun because you are out with your team. It’s great for team building. You get to know the underclassmen. You establish that sense of `we’re a team.’’’

Keeping the focus on the short game As long games get bigger, it’s the chips and putts that make the difference By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com There are numerous examples of talented high school golfers coming up short of expectations. And, many times that’s because of their lack of focus on their short game, which is vital to the scores scribbled on the scorecard. Boys are hitting longer, thanks in part to better equipment and golf balls, so the long game is strong. However, the short game can’t be ignored. Approach shots, chips and putts are also critical to have scores good enough to be posted on the leaderboard. “Most young players discount the value of the short game,” said ThunderRidge coach Jim McCord. “They love to hit the range and
pound the ball. However, the best golfers have a strong short game.” Highlands Ranch coach James Barker lectures to his players about the importance of the short game. “I hammer them on it,” explained Barker. “The bad thing is our season is so short. I only get to force them to work on their short games properly for two months. Even the best players on the planet miss about 25 percent of their greens. The best golfers on the planet hit 13 or 14 greens a round. So they are having to get up and down four or five times a round. “Our kids are missing seven or eight greens a round and getting up and down maybe a third of the time. If we get smarter and pick a high percentage shot around the green, maybe we can save a couple shots a round.” Barker’s team spends an hour putting during practice sessions, another hour chipping, pitching and hitting bunker shots before hitting some balls. “Boys just want to hit balls,” added Barker.
“They don’t understand their score is attached to putting and chipping and hitting bunker shots. You can hit a bad drive and still make a birdie. You can miss a green and still make a par. But if you mess up a chip or bunker shot or a putt, those scores go on your scorecard. There’s no recovering from a messed up short shot or putt.” Arapahoe coach Harry Buckner claims putting is part of the game that can’t be overemphasized. “Half your strokes in a round are made with your putter,” he said. “That’s how important your short game is. If you have 36 putts and 36 shots with other clubs and that’s par 72. More than half your shots are from 100 yards in. There’s an old adage in golf that you drive for show and putt for dough.” Jason Preeo, coach of defending Class 4A state champion Valor Christian, stresses the value of the short game. “The biggest thing that separates players are chips and putts when they miss the green,” said Preeo.

GOLF TEAMS AT A GLANCE Arapahoe
Coach: Harry Buckner 2013 Highlights: The Warriors, led by senior Sam Marley, wound up ninth in the Class 5A state tournament. Top Returning Players: David Packer, Jr.; Austin Lienemann, Sr.; Jonathan Bailey, Jr.; Henry Schaefer, Jr. Tyler Martinez, Jr.; Turner Johnson, Soph.; Joey Buckley, Jr.; Cory Giancaterino, Jr.; Robby Walker, Soph. 2014 Outlook: Packer is the lone returning Warrior who played in last season’s state tournament. “We have a bunch of juniors,” said Buckner. “Creek is (likely) going to win the league again. We’re hoping we can finish second. Grandview and Cherokee Trail will be our big competition.’’
Heritage
Coach: Nicki Poulos 2013 Highlights: The Eagles, led by senior Hunter Lee, finished second in the Continental League and were the runnersup in the Northern Regional at Broadlands Golf Club. Heritage was fifth in the Class 5A state tournament. Top Returning Players: Nick Leibold, Jr.; Reese Leiker, Jr. 2014 Outlook: The Eagles will be inexperienced with only two varsity players returning. Poulos is anxious to see who steps up to fill the open spots on the team. “Many of our players competed over the summer and worked really hard on their games,” said Poulos.
Littleton
Coach: Kevin Burdick 2013 Highlights: Inconsistency spoiled the Lions play against Continental League opposition but joining the Class 4A Jeffco League this season could be a big boost. Top Returning Players: Jacob Fuchs, Sr.; Jake Metzmaker, Sr.; Zach Huffer, Sr.; Scott Robb, Jr.; Sam Schroer, Jr.; Hil Abbott, Jr. 2014 Outlook: Burdick hopes consistency will provide a chance to qualify a few golfers for the 4A State Tournament. “I am pleased that most of the Jeffco tournaments are on public golf courses providing access to all players,” said Burdick. “Many of the tournaments in the Continental League were at country clubs, meaning my kids couldn’t play a practice round. In fact, we often played these courses completely `blind.’”
Valor Christian
Coach: Jason Preeo 2013 Highlights: The Eagles, led by Jake Staiano and Ross Macdonald who were fourth and seventh respectively, won the Class 4A state championship at Hiwan Golf Club. in Evergreen. Staiano’s 71 was the best score on the second day of the tournament and he finished with a 148 two-day total. Macdonald wound up with a total of 152 after two days. Top Returning Players: Ross Macdonald, Sr.; Jake Staiano, Sr.; Coby Welch, Jr.; Pierce Aichinger, Sr. 2014 Outlook: The Eagles have won four of the past five Class 4A state championships and lost in a playoff in 2012 or it could have been five straight titles for Valor. “This is probably our deepest team by far,” said Preeo. “There’s a good chance it could be our best.”

men girls were in my car and I really got to learn a lot about them,” he said. “One had just moved from Arizona and another went to an academy. There’s no way I probably would have known as much especially about these particular girls if I had never gone on the camping trip. I had two hours in a car with freshmen. During a practice you don’t really talk to them.” Dalby claims his team’s summer mountain adventures get his runners ready for the season. “One of the reasons we take the trip is to get all the kids to bond in a different atmosphere where they get away from home and they are spending 48 hours together,” he said. “By the time they leave the trip, they know each other a little better, especially with the new kids. “They get to know each other outside of every day when we’re going for a run. It’s not just about running, it’s about being a team. The stuff in the summer helps focus that everybody’s contribution on the team matters not just the handful of varsity kids.” Castle View coach Mark Kuhn was also seeking team bonding as 28 runners attended a five-day high altitude camp in Leadville. The Sabercats stayed in the dorms at Colorado Mountain College, listened to motivational speakers, were instructed on cross country strategy, ran two-mile trails, climbed a 14er and finished with either a six-mile or 12½mile run around Turquoise Lake depending on ability. “Even if we didn’t get any running in at all, it was for them connecting and getting together before the season starts,” said Kuhn. “I try to get some young kids up there and we have some classes for beginning strategy for cross country running. “There are lot of the runners coming out of middle school programs and high school that have no idea how to look at a course, run a course for a faster time without actually analyzing the course other than just going, warming up and running. The older kids had a leadership type class.” The top runner on Castle View’s girls team, Savanna Dalton, said she had fun staying so high above sea level. “I got to know one of my best friend’s younger sisters,” said Dalton. “She was really fun to hang out with. I got to know some of the freshmen. It was fun. It was harder to run because of the higher elevation but it was good that it was harder. It will help us.” Chaparral had previously went to Leadville but decided to venture this summer to Golden Gate State Park. “It was pretty awesome,” said Chaparral’s Dom Compoz, who was eighth in last year’s Class 5A State Meet. “We all got to hang out and got to know each other better. We won’t run on anything as difficult during the season. It’s a lot easier on the trails during the season versus during training.”
SPORTS ROUNDUP Sophomore leads Falcons to win
Kyle Pearson of Highlands Ranch was a medalist at the Continental League golf tournament held Aug. 7 at South Suburban Golf Course. Pearson, a sophomore, fired a 2-under-par 70 to help the Falcons capture first place with a 303 total, one shot lower than five-time defending state champion Regis Jesuit. Mountain Vista was third in the league’s first meet, two shot back of Highlands Ranch while Heritage and Rock Canyon rounded out the top five in the team standings. Mountain Vista’s Austin Hardiman shot a 73 to finish second behind Pearson. Nolan Cox of Mountain Vista, Heritage’s Nick Leibold and Chris Raap of Mountain Vista had 3-over par scores of 75 and finished in a fiveplayer tie for third place in the individual standings.

Project brings frontage road closure As construction on I-25 begins, portion of San Luis Street set for demolition By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com An I-25 frontage road and part of an existing onramp will be demolished as part of the Colorado Department of Transportation’s lane-balancing project that begins this month. A portion of San Luis Street running north from Lincoln Avenue to Bierstadt Way east of I-25 is slated for demolition to make way for an expanded interstate onramp and ease traffic flow to the ramp. In its place, a multi-use trail will be constructed just east of the current street. The stretch of San Luis that extends from Bierstadt Way, on which Hacienda Colorado and the Lincoln Station pedestrian overpass is located, to Jamaica Street will remain. “Right now there’s a really confusing intersection
on Lincoln just east of I-25,” CDOT project manager Dole Grebenik said, referring to the San Luis/Lincoln intersection. “The existing San Luis alignment will become the new I-25 on ramp. It lines up better with the intersection. It’s safer and has better visibility. The existing I-25 on-ramp is going to be removed and abolished completely.” CDOT will construct a 10-foot-wide, multi-use trail from Lincoln Avenue north on the east side of San Luis’ current alignment. No businesses have direct access to San Luis on the portion that is set for demolition. “The frontage road is more of a back road to here, so I don’t think it’s going to affect us much,” Hacienda Colorado host Nicole Vargo said, adding most people use Meridian Boulevard to reach the restaurant. “We are always very busy. I don’t think anyone will let a closed road keep them from their Mexican food.” The Candlewood Suites hotel also backs to the soonPublic Notice to-close portion of San Luis.

A portion of San Luis Street, the frontage road northeast of Lincoln Avenue and Interstate 25, will be permanently closed as part of CDOT’s I-25 lane balancing project. The portion that is pictured will remain. Photo by Jane Reuter much of a problem,” general manager David Halverson said. Grebenik said it may inconvenience some employees at CH2M Hill; its world headquarters are on Jamaica Street east of I-25. But he said no one has voiced significant objection. “Some people may have to drive a few more seconds or half minute than they normally would have,” he said. “We worked through a pretty significant rightof-way process. All those
business on San Luis are on board. I think everyone understands the need for the project so much, they’ve all been agreeable.” The $35 million lane-balancing project, which will add a lane to I-25 in both directions between Lincoln Avenue and County Line Road, is set for completion in December 2016. Grebenik said closing San Luis will be among the first phases of construction, and likely will occur in midto late September.
