Ridgeline Blvd., Suite 210 Highlands Ranch, CO 80129 PHONE: 303-566-4100 A legal newspaper of general circulation in Englewood, Colorado, the Englewood Herald is published weekly on Friday by Colorado Community Media, 9137 S. Ridgeline Blvd., Suite 210, Highlands Ranch, CO 80129.

PERIODICALS POSTAGE PAID AT Littleton, COLORADO and additional mailing offices.

A party atmosphere prevailed June 24 as more than 100 people gathered for the ceremony celebrating the Duncan Park makeover.

Work has started on the project on June 2. Existing facilities, including the playground, were demolished and all the grass has been removed from the south end of the park. The exception is a grove of trees that will remain as part of the makeover.

Phase one will include the construction of a pavilion, restrooms and a basketball court that also marked off for other activities like hop scotch. Two playgrounds will be involved, one designed to toddlers to 5-year-olds and a second playground designed for 6- to 12-year-olds.

Phase one is scheduled to be completed in August.

The work then shifts north for phase 2 which will involve the creation of athletic fields and a lighted sidewalk that will circle the entire park.

The work on Phase 2 is scheduled to be completed by late fall.

There was June 24 celebration included free food, a display of the park design, speeches and a symbolic ground breaking.

“Duncan Park is important to this neighbor-

Maschka was in the park about a month ago when her husband surprised her with the pup so she thought it would be appropriate to name the dog in honor of the park. hood,” Englewood Mayor Randy Penn said. “Area residents attended meetings and took part in the project to develop the design that is being used for the makeover. The goal is to make Duncan Park better and a friendlier gathering place.”

Residents gathered under the tent to chat and Park continues on Page 9

Park neighbors, left to right, Anna Och and Devon, Christina and Trevor Dumpert each dig their shovel into dirt as part of the June 24 groundbreaking celebration marking the start of the makeover of Duncan Park. The ceremony included speeches and members of the city council turning dirt. Then residents and park neighbors were invited to take shovels and help with the event.

Englewood city officials gathered on the riverbank June 23 as Laura Kroeger, of Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, explained proposals for revitalizing a stretch of South Platte River near Oxford Avenue and the Broken Tee at Englewood Golf Course.

“This would create unique recreation amenities in this area along the banks and in the South Platte River near the Oxford Avenue Bridge,” she told the city officials during a June 23 tour of the area.

“A lot of partners are working together on this project. The Army Corps of Engineers is cooperating with us and the drawings are about 30 percent complete.”

She said a project of this size doesn’t happen often and there is no similar project anywhere in the Rocky Mountain region.

The proposed project involved major work to revitalize a seven-mile stretch of the South Platte River from the southern border of Littleton to the northern border of Englewood.

Kroeger said work is already underway on the portion of the project in Littleton near South Platte Park. However, there are portions of the project to revitalize about 4.5 miles of the river from Union Avenue to the northern border of Englewood.

One aspect of the proposal is to extend the pedestrian-bike path on the east bank of the river and create a trailhead just north of Oxford Avenue. The new eastside trail would lead into the trailhead that would be adjacent to the Broken Tee Golf Course at Englewood. Improvements would include expanded parking, a 125-seat pavilion and a playground.

The Army Corp of Engineers has given permission to soften the banks of the river in that area by planting landscaping and create a handicapped accessible path leading down from the trailhead to the river amenities.

Kroeger, Bill Neumann, a representative of DHM Design, and Rick McLaughlin of McLaughlin Whitewater Design Group, used drawings as visual aids as they explained the concept for the stretch of the river near Oxford. The discussion was followed by a walk along the riverbank to point out where the amenities are planned.

“It would be a low-flow recreation area,” Neumann said as he pointed to the area where the amenities would be built.

“There would be wading areas, a water slide and, a short distance away, there would be pools that should be areas for good fishing.”

Kroeger said funding is being assembled and plans are to begin work in October 2015. The entire project includes work along a seven-mile stretch of the river from the southern border of Littleton to the northern border of Englewood.

It is an expensive proposal with a price tag of about $12 million.

The funding got help when Arapahoe County pledged $5 million toward the project.

Dedicated gardeners grow together As Carol Ford makes her coffee in the quiet of early morning, she never fails to take in the view out her kitchen window — of a metal, neighborhood mailbox framed, these days, by draping trumpet vines and blooming roses along a weathered wood fence.

“I love to look at the flowers when I look at the mailbox,” she says. “It inspires me. …

And Larry’s always out there, looking and pulling out the weeds.”

Larry Davis, 77, is always out there, snipping spent branches and blooms with his pocketknife and clearing away offending trespassers. So, too — but later in the day (Larry is the early riser) — is his wife, Deanna, 73, sitting on her stool, digging in the dirt, minding the beds with motherly care.

Come spring, just like the crocuses bursting through the ground after a season of hibernation, Larry and Deanna emerge to tend to their garden, a visual delight that has, over the years, persuaded some driving by to stop and roll down their windows to express appreciation.

“Oh,” Larry tells them, “if you like the front, you must see the back.”

And you must.

But before you step under the trellis that Larry built and past the small stone frog that says, “Welcome to our garden,” you should remember once there was nothing on this corner plot of land in the middle of tract-home suburbia.

“It just evolved. We just kept adding …,” Deanna says. “I don’t think either of us could do it alone.” She smiles. “We’re getting to the point we’re not going to be able to do it together.”

Larry and Deanna moved into their Highlands Ranch home in 1994. Their first planting: three locust trees.

“We wanted shade,” Deanna says.

Larry built the six-foot fence around the yard, a few times parking his car in the street at night and turning on the headlights so he could finish.

They both worked at the time, she as

a Realtor, he as a tool design engineer for Lockheed Martin, so they hired someone to plan the yard. And in 1995, the basic layout was planted.

They married, each for the second time, in 1996, in their back yard, with 100 guests.

The pond for the goldfish and water lilies happened in 1999, the year they retired.

Larry later built the spacious, graceful deck next to the pond and the oval bed in the front.

And, slowly but surely, the garden kept growing, reflecting not only the shared passion of creating something beautiful, but also their individual personalities. She likes neat and orderly. He likes unusual and a little messy.

Deanna, originally from the San Francisco area, brought the Japanese maples, dwarf evergreens and Asian-inspired contributions. “All the Japanese stuff,” she says, “is kind of my heart.”

Larry, from Iowa, brought the strange, unique plants like the rare-for-America hocksweed, and the full-bodied peonies, which in the Midwest are frequently planted in cemeteries. “They bloom around Memorial Day,” he says. “A lot of people plant peonies so there are flowers on the graves.”

Today, the gardens contain hundreds of varieties of plants. Deanna and Larry each spend about 20 hours a week caring for them.

Now, step under the trellis. This is some of what you’ll see: Raspberries, blackberries and grapes tumble along the back. Succulents root in lava rocks by the pond, inhabited by about

50 goldfish and several kinds of delicate water lilies. A weeping cherry droops over a small path. Red and green Japanese maples. Graceful purple clematis. Pink penstemons. Purple salvia. Delicate coral bells.

A congregation of herbs — basil, fennel, parsley, rosemary, oregano, mint — grows in containers near the kitchen window.

A water fountain that was a wedding gift.

A bird bath that belonged to Deanna’s mother. A twisted Harry Lauder’s walking stick bush.

Roses.

“This one is like peppermint candy,” Larry says, cupping a red-and-whitestriped bloom in his hand.

The iron bench under the crabapple, where the yard bends, is one of Deanna’s and Larry’s favorite spots. The corner always seems to collect a breeze, and it’s good for enjoying the sights.

“It’s kind of a peaceful oasis,” Larry says of the back yard. “The birds like it.” He points up to a branch in a locust tree. “That little blue house has a family of wrens in it.”

The front, too, has its charm.

Blue delphiniums - a neighborhood favorite - stand guard near the trellis. A rock garden holds origanum — nicknamed the wormy plant by Larry — and yellow Missouri evening primrose, whose blooms last just one day, trail along its border. Snapdragons in every color reseed every year.

There’s the fuzzy lamb’s ear the preschool children used to file down the street to feel. Larry’s new, small cactus garden next to the stairs. Deanna’s nine pots of coleus — with striking green and red leaves — on the stoop. And the ornamental pear tree by the driveway that blooms white, leafs out green, and, finally, turns a yelloworange in the fall until the first storm strips the limbs bare.

“One year, for fun, we planted … the plant you like to eat?” Larry turns to Deanna.

“Artichoke.”

Larry nods and smiles. “People would say, `What in the world is that?’”

“People still ask us about that one,” Deanna says.

“We just did it for fun,” Larry says. “Just once.”

The garden, essentially, contains many of life’s basic ingredients. Change.

Transformation. Anticipation. Joy. Death.

Rebirth. This particular one is a work of love that seems to assure a certain order in the universe.

“When you’re finished growing your kids,” Deanna says, “there is a nurturing quality to growing plants.”

“I enjoy just seeing it every day,” Larry says. “It seems like something new is in bloom every day … when the first little crocus comes up, just to see this come to life in the spring, and then all summer blooming.”

And even though the garden belongs to Larry and Deanna, it has been a gift shared — sometimes unknowingly, other times directly — with the neighborhood.

Suzi Miller, a gardener herself who lives down the street, has taken home cuttings of water lilies and fennel for her yard. She can spend hours talking plants with Larry and Deanna.

“For someone like me, there’s so much to look at,” she says. “It gives me inspiration. …”

Joan McGill has lived across the street for 18 years.

“It’s just a joy to look at their beautiful garden,” she says. “If we could all slow down enough to enjoy the beauty.”

We should.

Because if we did, Larry and Deanna would be sure to invite us in.

NEWS IN A HURRY Golf fundraiser held

When 130 golfers teed off June 24 during the Englewood Rotary Golf Tournament they were helping raise money for the Rotary scholarship fund.

The Rotary Club and the Englewood School District joined forces to put on the tournament at Saddle Rock Golf Course in Aurora.

Participation this year was tripled and the event raised a record $24,000 that will be used to provide college scholarships for

students graduating from Englewood High School and Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School.

Patty Burnett, club tournament committee member, said the $24,000 raised is a record for the event that has been held annually for the last 14 years.

Swim lessons focus of project

Pirates Cove Family Aquatic Center joined with about 400 other pools around the country on June 20 for the World’s

Largest Swim Lesson project.

The project is held to emphasize that swim lessons save lives since drowning is the second leading cause of accidental deaths for 1- to 14-year-olds.

There were 125 children at Pirates Cove for the event, which is roughly twice as many as came last year.

Grant awarded

Representatives of the Englewood Parks and Recreation Department and the

Englewood School District attended a June 30 ceremony where they were officially awarded a $250,000 grant from the Arapahoe County Open Space Fund.

The money will be used to construct a synthetic turf field north of Englewood High School Stadium. The field will be marked so it can be used for a variety of sports and will be used by the school district and for recreation department programs.

New school taking shape in Englewood Steel framework for building rises out of the ground

By Tom Munds

The steel framework marks what will be one of the wings on the new Englewood HIgh School building. Phase two of the project to build a seventh- through 12-grade campus is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2014. year so they can move into the portion of the facility completed in phase one. At the same time, Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School will move into the former Englewood Middle School building.

Western Welcome Week wouldn’t exist without the support of our volunteers!

There are over 40 events during the 10-day celebration, held throughout Littleton.

WWW offers a variety of volunteer opportunities: from office work, BBQs, pancake breakfast, silent auction, arts & crafts festival, and more.

The role of the volunteer is critical to the festival’s success!

ShopLocalColorado.com

School Superintendent Brian Ewert, the administrative staff, school board and other supporters promoted a proposal to replace the aging facility with a new, modern seventh- through 12-grade campus. The project required funding and the proposal was a voter-approved bond issue. Proponents successfully enlisted support and, in 2012, Englewood voters approved raising their property taxes to repay a $40 million bond issue.

Ewert and his staff held meetings with members of the community to help develop the design and plans for the new campus.

Structures on the north end of the site like the Lowell Building and the arts building were demolished to make way for phase one construction. The project completed a section of the high school that eventually will be the location for the middle school.

The phase was completed on time and on budget so, over the Thanksgiving holiday 2013, all high school classrooms moved to the newly completed wing.

Meanwhile, a separate portion of the

Cranes lift huge steel girders into place and trucks pump concrete as work progresses on construction of the new Englewood High School.

Voters approved a $40 million bond issue to pay for construction of a new, modern Englewood High School seventh- through 12-grade campus. All former EHS buildings except the auditorium and field house were demolished so the new school could be built on the former high school site.

A crew of about 60 is on site, erecting an estimated 320 tons of steel framework, pouring thousands of yards of concrete and working on the other aspects of the project.

“The project is moving along pretty well,” said Donovan Nolan, owner representative for the project. “The steel work is expected to be completed by the second week of July and crews will be pouring concrete for the second floor in the building constructed next to the field house.”

At the same time, trucks are bringing in the remainder of the 26,000 cubic yards of fill dirt needed to level the south end of the site with the street.

Nolan said while the steel framework is being constructed, concrete is being poured and the site leveled, the work on other portions of the project continues.

“The fieldhouse is undergoing a major renovation,” he said. “The locker room walls are up and the steel framing is in place for the locker room and for the wrestling room.”

Work that is more visible is underway along South Logan Street, where crews removed the parking lot asphalt and are working on preparing the ground for construction of the new tennis courts.

The project is replacing the Englewood High School buildings constructed in the mid-1950s.

County won’t jump gun on gay marriage Clerk says he will abide by future court rulings

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane released a statement just hours after the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals’ 2-1 decision that Utah’s ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, saying it will be business as usual in his office for now.

“Arapahoe County will continue to uphold Colorado’s constitutional provision on same-sex marriage and follow Colorado statute by issuing civil union certificates to same-sex couples,” said Crane, a Republican, in the statement. “We will abide by any future court rulings that impact Colorado.”

That’s the opposite of what Boulder County Clerk and Recorder Hillary Hall, a Democrat, did when she started issuing marriage licenses immediately after the decision. Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett said he was impressed with her courage and that of Boulder County Attorney Ben Pearlman, who supported her decision.

“Whatever the technicalities underlying the AG’s position, Hillary and Ben will be proven right,” wrote Garnett on his Facebook page.

But Crane agrees with the Colorado Attorney General’s Office that since the Utah court said its decision couldn’t go into effect until after its presumed appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, should it be upheld there.

“Colorado’s constitutional prohibition on same-sex marriages remains in effect,” said Colorado Attorney General John Suthers. “Today’s decision by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals was stayed by the court and has not gone into effect even in Utah, let alone in Colorado. Any marriage licenses issued to

same-sex couples in Colorado before a final court resolution of the issue are invalid.”

U.S. Rep. Dianna DeGette, D-Denver, actually officiated some of Colorado’s first civil unions the night they became legal on May 1, 2013.

“The historic ruling by the 10th Circuit Court overturning Utah’s ban on same-sex marriage today brings us one step closer to achieving long-overdue marriage equality in Colorado and across the country,” DeGette wrote on her Facebook page. “Personally, I am eager to dust off my Universal Life Church minister’s credential.”

The office of U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, did not respond to a request for comment.

Colorado is in the 10th Circuit’s jurisdiction, along with Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Wyoming and Utah, plus the sections of the Yellowstone National Park extending into Montana and Idaho.

Wildfire-fighting vehicle housed at training center

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Englewood accepted the request from the state to house a Type 6 fire truck designed to go off road to fight wildfires.

“The state called us and asked if we would allow one of the brush trucks to be stationed in our city,” said Andy Marsh, Englewood fire chief. “We agreed and now the truck is stationed at our fire-training facility.”

The truck is a small, compact four-wheel drive vehicle. It is equipped with a tank that holds 250 gallons of water and compartments for the equipment crews would use to battle brush or grass fires.

Marsh said the brush truck can be used to get to fires along the river bank or bike path where regular fire trucks can’t go.

He said the truck is a specialized resource that can be dispatched to help fight fires anywhere in the country.

Fire Capt. Robert Kriegbaum of the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control is the crew member in charge of the brush truck.

“The brush truck and Capt. Kriegbaum are valuable assets for Englewood and neighboring departments,” Marsh said.

“We have 10 firefighters who are certified to fight wildland fires. The captain and the truck will help those firefighters and other wild land firefighters with the necessary training required for recertification. Also, there will be training to help firefighters from our department and neighboring departments complete the necessary training for to be certified as wildland firefighters.”

South Metro Denver Chamber @ The Streets of

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The board of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce has hired Robert E. Golden as its new president and CEO, effective immediately. Marcia McGilley had been the acting president after longtime CEO John Brackney left the chamber in late March.

“Bob has a proven track record of collaboration and stellar achievement,” Herm Brocksmith, board of directors chairman, said in a June 25 news release. “We expect the South Metro Denver Chamber to thrive, grow and achieve its potential under his leadership. With Bob’s tremendous work ethic, influential contacts and business savvy, we are poised for great success.”

Golden most recently had been president of Golden Solution LLC, an association consulting firm based in Highlands Ranch, since December 2012. Before that, he was the CEO of the Colorado Association of Realtors for eight years.

Golden earned his bachelor’s degree in business from Florida Atlantic University in 1982. He and his wife, Kathy, have four grown children.

He said he is honored to have been chosen for the job.

“I look forward to leading the chamber under the four pillars of economic development, public policy, education and infrastructure, which are vital to the prosperity of our business community,” he said.

The hiring of Golden comes on the heels of several staff departures at the chamber. After more than a decade there, Brackney unexpectedly announced his resignation on March 24. He announced he’d accepted a job at Greenwood Village marketing firm Webolutions on April 11.

Analysts: Beauprez has a shot, a long one Hickenlooper perceived as early favorite, but could be vulnerable

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Political observers think that Republican primary voters were wise to avoid picking a polarizing conservative to match up against Gov. John Hickenlooper in the fall, but can the party’s candidate take back the governor’s mansion for the GOP? That question will be answered in November, after voters cast ballots in a race that pits the Democratic Hickenlooper against former Congressman Bob Beauprez.

Republicans haven’t won a governor’s race in Colorado since Bill Owens was re-elected in 2002 — and Owens was the first Repub- Hickenlooper lican to hold the governor’s seat since John David Vanderhoof left office in 1975.

So, can Beauprez — who lost a 2006 governor’s race to Bill Ritter by 15 points — reclaim the seat for the GOP? “The answer at this juncture has to be yes,” said Norman Provizer, a longtime political science professor at Metro State University of Denver. “Hickenlooper has a lot of positive things going for him. At the same time, is he in an invulnerable position? No. It’s going to be a race.”

While Beauprez may have a chance to win, the political consensus is that he is the underdog in the race.

“It’s still a long shot but it’s not an impossible shot to beat John Hickenlooper,” said Eric Sondermann, an independent political analyst. “But (Beauprez) forces Hickenlooper to wage an intense campaign. Whereas, if it was Tom Tancredo as the nominee, he could have just phoned it in.”

Tancredo — who is also a former congressman and failed gubernatorial candidate — finished second in the primary. He was seen by many analysts as too polarizing of a candidate to win a general election, especially given his views on immigration, which could have scared off Latino voters.

“From the Republican Party — dare I stay establishment — there was a real concern over Tancredo,” Provizer said. “He was viewed as a threat by many major Republican players ... as a loose cannon that would have negative effects on other Republican candidates in

state races.”

But how better off Republicans are with Beauprez as their candidate?

Beauprez won’t be facing the political headwinds this time around that he was dealing with in 2006 — a brutal year for Republicans across the country. Republicans are hopeful that this year’s midterm elections will create a national wave that will help their party’s state candidates.

But Sondermann said that Beauprez needs more than just a Republican wave in order to win. He’ll need mistakes on the part of Hickenlooper. Not only that, Beauprez will need to “persuade people that he can actually win this thing, in order for people to invest money and energy in this race,” Sondermann said.

If Beauprez runs a good campaign, he could give Hickenlooper his first real campaign fight. Hickenlooper won his Denver mayoral races fairly easily and won the governor’s mansion in 2010 Beauprez in a rout.

“Hickenlooper is a tough guy to beat,” Sondermann said. “But the flip side is, John Hickenlooper has never been severely tested in a political sense. We’ll see if this turns out to be a severe test or not. If it is, (Hickenlooper) doesn’t have that experience in a bare knuckle fight.”

Beauprez gave a preview of the kind of campaign he intends to wage against Hickenlooper during his primary victory speech on June 24. He attacked Hickenlooper over his support for gun control legislation and increased renewable energy mandates on electric cooperatives, which he believes has had a negative impact on rural parts of the state.

Beauprez also blasted Hickenlooper for granting a temporary reprieve for death row inmate Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in 1996.

But Hickenlooper will tout the state’s economic uptick and is sure to point to an unemployment rate that has continued to drop while he’s been in office.

Provizer thinks that Hickenlooper’s personality and governing style is an asset.

“If you think about it, Hickenlooper was mayor and governor at a very difficult economic time,” he said. “He can be pretty `Coloradan.’ He’s not overly formal and he has a sense of humor. If you look for a leader who says there’s only one right way, this is what we’re gonna do and everything else is wrong — well, that’s not him.”

Douglas County commissioner tabbed as Republican lieutenant governor candidate Staff report Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez has tabbed Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella as his running mate.

Repella was elected to her first term as commisRepella sioner in November 2008 and re-elected in 2012 to a second four-year term. She is a fifth-generation Colorado native and has been a resident of Highlands Ranch since 1994.

“With the selection of Commissioner Jill Repella as Bob’s running mate, Colorado Republicans are celebrating one of the strongest and most united tickets we have seen in years,” said the state’s GOP chairman Ryan Call in a statement released July 1.

“Jill is an effective and pragmatic policymaker with deep roots in Colorado, and is a terrific mother of three. She knows firsthand the challenges facing Coloradans from all walks of life, and, as lieutenant governor, Jill will be a tireless advocate for policies that will help grow our economy, create opportunity, and improve the lives of each and every one of us.”

Under Repella’s leadership on the threeperson board of commissioners, Douglas County has celebrated the second- and thirdhighest employment gains in the country in 2012 and 2013 respectively, according to data

provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“I am honored to be chosen as Bob Beauprez’s running mate,” said Repella in a statement released by the county. “I also want the citizens and taxpayers of Douglas County to know that I can and will also continue to proudly serve them in my role as a Douglas County Commissioner. To have the opportunity to take Douglas County’s success story to a state level is an opportunity I embrace.”

Beauprez called Repella “a rising star in local government leadership” and said that he and his wife, Claudia, were “honored” to have her join the team.

“We’re impressed with her record as a community leader, a dedicated public servant, an economic development leader and mother, along with her in-depth knowledge of the issues that are impacting families across Colorado. She is the type of strong leader that every Coloradan will be proud to have as their lieutenant governor,” he said.

Repella, who received her bachelor’s degree from Colorado State University and her master’s in executive leadership from the University of Denver, previously served on the Douglas County School District Board of Education.

“Coloradans are ready for a true leader, one who will listen to us and fight for what is right,” she said in a statement released by the Beauprez campaign. “Bob Beauprez is that leader...”

Beauprez and Repella planned to join former Republican gubernatorial candidates Tom Tancredo, Mike Kopp and Secretary of State Scott Gessler on a Unity Tour of the Front Range on July 2.

Mental-health actions raise racial questions Seclusion, restraint seen as ‘treatment failure’

By Kristin Jones

Rocky Mountain PBS I-News In 2010, a man named Troy Geske died at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo after being wrestled by staff members onto a bed, where he was restrained with straps and left by himself, face down.

He asphyxiated.

Geske’s death resulted in the state’s paying a $775,000 settlement to his family and a ban on the use of prone restraint in state hospitals. The tragedy also accelerated a concerted effort in Colorado to limit the use of seclusion and restraint for people receiving mental-health treatment.

Seclusion, or confining a person alone in a room, and restraint, or physically preventing a person’s movement, have long been common tools for controlling people in a mental-health crisis — particularly when violence is a risk.

But state health officials regard the procedures as a “treatment failure,” in which risks include “serious injury or death, retraumatization of people who have a history of trauma, and loss of dignity and other psychological harm.”

Hospitals, clinics and mental health centers — including both statefunded and private-sector institutions — reported 12 percent fewer instances of seclusion and restraint in fiscal year 2013 than two years earlier.

Still, the state’s latest report on the use of these and other mental-health procedures, released May 23, shows that minorities are more likely to be put into these punishing conditions than whites. The data shows: African-Americans make up 11 percent of the 1,498 Coloradans secluded or restrained in hospitals and other mental-health settings last year, according to the annual report by the state’s Department of Human Services.

By comparison, only around 4 percent of the total population in the state is black, according to the latest available census data from 2012, while about 8 percent of the instances of mandated mental-health treatment — including 72-hour holds, certifications, seclusion, restraint and involuntary medication — in fiscal 2013 involved black patients.

Whites show up more or less proportionally in mandated mental-health treatment.

They make up around 70 percent of the state’s population, and were involved in 69 percent of the instances of mental-health treatment last year.

However, white patients made up only 53 percent of those put into seclusion and restraint.

Access to care dubious

Hispanics are under-represented in mandated mental-health treatment, raising questions about Latinos’ access to care. Hispanics make up 21 percent of the state’s population, but were involved in only 13 percent of the instances of mandated treatment.

Like blacks, Hispanics are more likely to be subject to the most punitive conditions while in care. About 30 percent of the people put into seclusion and restraint last year were Hispanic.

A series of investigations into the state’s behavioral health-care system by Rocky Mountain PBS I-News, “Untreated: How Ignoring Mental Illness Costs Us All,” has found that for many people with mental illnesses, help is hard to find.

Guv Continued from Page 6

While analysts think that Beauprez has a shot, they believe that the former congress-

While demand for psychiatric services has increased significantly in recent years, the supply of inpatient services has dropped, straining the remaining hospitals and clinics that do provide these services.

Health officials at the Colorado Department of Human Services say they haven’t examined the apparent racial disparity in the use of punitive measures like seclusion and restraint.

Patrick Fox, an official with the department, says he has no insight into why African-Americans may be disproportionately subject to the harsh procedures, and the issue hadn’t previously been brought to his attention.

But he said that given documented differences in the treatment of minorities in the criminal justice system — where blacks are arrested in disproportionate numbers and given longer sentences — discrepancies in mental-health treatment are “not surprising.”

Recent records of incidents of violence and alleged abuse at the state mental health institutes at Fort Logan and Pueblo show that seclusion and restraint are still used as tools to control patients who are perceived as a risk to others. At times, residents complain that the measures cause injuries.

In December, for instance, a teen patient at Fort Logan was put into four-point restraints after trying to kick and grab staff while experiencing delusions of needing surgery, according to the hospital’s report.

He later complained of feeling numbness in his hands from the restraints — allegations that the hospital said it wasn’t able to substantiate. The state health department investigated and agreed with the institute.

Case spurred resignation

In a separate instance in May 2013, a female patient in her 30s said she knocked for 15 minutes at the window of the room where she was held in seclusion, needing to use the bathroom. Nobody came, and she urinated on the floor.

“I’m used to being in seclusion,” she told investigators later. “But that’s not right that I had to pee on the floor.”

One nurse resigned and another was disciplined as a result of the hospital’s investigation.

Mark Silverstein, legal director at the Colorado chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, says the practices — and the potential for racial bias — deserve a close look.

“Seclusion and restraint are some of the most serious deprivations of liberty that there are in an institutional setting, so there’s certainly a risk of abuse, and there’s a history of abuse,” says Silverstein.

A lack of funding for research into racial disparities in the behavioral health-care arena in Colorado hampers efforts to address the problems, says Julie Reiskin, executive director of the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition, which advocates on behalf of people with disabilities.

Reiskin says her organization often hears concerns from people of color that they or their family members are ignored, refused treatment or funneled into jails and prisons when they seek help for mental illness.

Marlene Murillo, an executive assistant at the coalition, is one of them. Murillo, who is Hispanic, says efforts to find help for her 31-year-old son — who is schizophrenic, has substance abuse problems, and refuses treatment — have more often resulted in his being jailed than hospitalized.

Reiskin says others report they’re treated more punitively than whites when they are able to access the health-care system.

“For anybody with a mental illness, even

man needs to run a more inspirational campaign than the one he ran in 2006, in order to win.

“When your opponent gets close to 60 percent in an American election, that’s not a victory, that’s a slaughter,” Provizer said.

“Candidates and campaigns matter, as does the general political environment.”

Reiskin says her organization often hears concerns that people of color, including Murillo’s 31-year-old son, are often ignored, refused treatment or jailed when seeking in help for mental illness. Photo by Rocky Mountain PBS I-News though there’s understanding that these are illnesses, they’re treated like they’re bad,” says Reiskin. “That’s really exacerbated around people of color.”

Without enough state-directed research into the issue, says Reiskin, complaints are treated as “anecdotal.”

Simone Charles, an African-American Navy veteran who recently trained to become a peer support specialist to people with mental illnesses, says a perception that the mental-health care system is unfair to blacks already deters people from seeking the help they need.

Charles, who is 48 and lives in Denver, recalls being physically restrained by four male staff members as a teenager, when she was a

student in a Kentucky school for girls who had been sexually abused. She says she was kept in a quiet room for days at a time. But only in retrospect did she wonder whether she was disciplined more than other girls in the class because of her color.

“I’ve never been restrained as an adult,” says Charles, who has post-traumatic stress disorder. “I learned that you can’t afford to be crazy and violent and black in America, because they’re going to lock you up.”

Keep ‘happy’ on list of things to be The other day I happened to be at the Park Meadows mall. As I was just the hired help for the day, my role was really just to drive the car, carry the bags, and pay at checkout time. While in Macy’s I had a pretty cool experience and thought I would share it with you here.

So as I sat in a chair and waited in the ladies shoe department — yes, I said it, the ladies shoe department — the background music caught my attention. Not so much because of the volume, but it was a very catchy tune that brought me back to the 1970s. The Partridge Family’s “Come on Get Happy.” And yes, some would say I just may be stuck in the 1970s regarding my musical preferences.

It was awesome enough that I recognized it, but as I looked around I noticed that I was not the only one in the store tapping my toes and singing along quietly to the music. You may be doing the same right now, as you also know the song. There were actually others singing a little out loud, some women dancing a little in their own space, a few other guys nodding their heads and tapping their toes to the beat, and I swear I thought that a “flash mob” was about to happen right there in Macy’s at any moment.

The song actually had a group of strangers in the store smiling, singing, and even

dancing without one bit of encouragement other than the lyrics to the song. How amazing and awesome is that?

If you have listened to local radio recently, you have also probably heard the song “Happy” by Pharrel. And you have probably heard it or have seen him perform it at an awards show or on television somewhere. I mean, it is like everywhere, and seems to be on the radio a lot. And why not? I have to admit that as much as I hear the song “Happy,” it actually makes me just a little bit happier than I was in the previous moment, maybe even tapping my toes and fingers a little bit to the tune as well whether I am working, walking, or driving.

So the question I have asked myself since my “Come on Get Happy” experience in Macy’s is this, “What else triggers happiness?”

Some of us, me included, can get so caught up in our busy-ness and our business that we completely forget about being happy, or at least let it slip through our fingers from time to time. Maybe it’s a song, maybe it’s a workout, maybe it’s a good book, a smile, a hug, an accomplishment, skiing, golfing, hiking, a friend, a child, a feeling of love, being loved, and being in love, and hundreds of other possibilities that bring us back to that feeling of happiness and joy. What are your triggers?

“Come on Get Happy,” “Happy,” “Shiny Happy People,” “Hakuna Matata,” “Don’t Worry Be Happy” and “Joy to the World” are just a few of the songs that work for me when it comes to adding a little more pep to my step when I hear them. How about you? Is it a song or something else that triggers happy thoughts and gets you back on the happy track of life?

I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we remember to balance our busy-ness with happiness it will be a better than good week for sure. So come on … get happy.

Picturing people who rocked my world “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was released on June 1, 1967. I haven’t been the same since.

How many people or things or events in your life have made that kind of a difference?

Some moments are immediately indelible and some take time to develop.

I can still remember the first time I saw Jennifer, but there were no love arrows thrown down on me.

“Huh?” That might have been the first thing I ever said to her. She referred to someone we both knew, but I couldn’t understand what she was saying. I said, “Speak up.

Speak with distinction.”

Oh, well, it seems to have worked out.

When I listen to “Sgt. Pepper’s,” I don’t listen to the whole album. Some of it I can do without. But some of it means more to me than I can explain.

The disc jockey at KFWB would say, “Double Beatles,” and I would get the chills, when the intro of “A Day in the Life” would come rumbling, again, out of my cheap radio.

I was an art student in 1967. Album covers were fine art to me. The cover of “Sgt. Pepper’s” is phenomenal. It was created by Jann Haworth and Peter Blake.

their images were assembled on the cover. Dion and Lenny Bruce. Carl Jung and Edgar Allan Poe. Fred Astaire, Bob Dylan, Aldous Huxley, Laurel and Hardy.

James Joyce, Tom Mix, Oscar Wilde.

Some personalities were rejected for a variety of reasons: Leo Gorcey, one of the “Dead End Kids,” wanted $400. Idiot.

Gandhi was supposed to be placed next to Lewis Carroll, but if he showed up on the cover, India wouldn’t allow the record to be printed.

Jesus Christ ( John’s idea) and Hitler were both rejected.

I looked at the cover again recently, and my little narrative brain said, “What if that were your cover?”

You should do the same thing that I am about to do.

The cover depicts chosen individuals, along with a bunch of other things, like a 9-inch Sony television, owned by Paul

McCartney, and a velvet snake.

I would be sure to have my father’s flight jacket on my cover. And a vessel of chip brushes and paint thinner.

I would have a likeness of Gerry Goffin. Goffin just died. He co-wrote “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?”

There would be likenesses of Charles Dickens, Oscar Levant and Dorothy Parker. David Letterman. Warren Spahn.

“Spahn and Sain and pray for rain.”

Of course, Otis Redding.

I would want to have a few inexplicables on the cover. Judge Crater and the Collyer brothers, and some west coast luminary named Collier.

Michael Collier. I lived at 208 Ireland Avenue and he lived at 198 Ireland Avenue. We were both undecided teenagers. He still shines on.

Pink Floyd. They would be on the cover. Smitty, certainly. E.E. Cummings.

How do you get a name like that? Nat King Cole. The Del-Vikings. The Everly Brothers would be a cinch. The Skyliners.

Edward Everett Horton and Preston Sturges. Greg Watts, another dear pal.

Are you working on your list? The Shirelles, Josephine Baker, Billie Holiday, Matt Holliday, Captain Harry E. Smith,

Music fest caters to younger demographic Sulphur Gulch Music Festival to take over PACE on July 12

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com The reincarnated Sulphur Gulch Music Festival has “everything you want” and more.

The Town of Parker’s cultural arts staff booked Vertical Horizon, an alt-rock band that had a string of hits in the late 1990s and early 2000s, to headline this year’s festival July 12 at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center.

The Sulphur Gulch Music Festival began two years ago as a celebration of blues music, but organizers are banking on an expanded and more diverse lineup to potentially double last year’s crowd of 250. They are catering to the 30-40 age group, many of whom associate fond memories with Vertical Horizon’s music.

Elaine Mariner, arts and culture director for the Town of Parker, sought the advice of her 32-year-old son, who gave the band an enthusiastic thumbs-up.

The same happened with Parker’s deputy town administrator Michelle Kivela.

“One of the gaps we felt we had in programming was bands for Parker’s young professionals,” Mariner said. “We’re actively trying to attract that demographic.”

With that goal in mind, Vertical Horizon’s name came up and the opportunity was seized. Their biggest hit, 2000’s “Everything You Want,” skyrocketed to the top of the music charts, and subsequent singles received moderate airplay on radio.

The PACE Center typically books 1970s and ‘80s bands like Air Supply and Starship.

Local and regional bands will fill out the lineup and play outside at the PACE Center’s amphitheater and east parking lot during the day. Vertical Horizon will play indoors on the main stage at 7:30 p.m.

talk about the evolution of the project.

The land originally belonged to Englewood School District and was the site of Duncan School that was closed mid-1970s and the city leased the 3.3 acre location from the school district and maintained it as a park. In 2006, the school district announced it would be selling the property and was approached by several housing developers who wanted to build homes on the land.

“This park is important to us and we definitely didn’t want to lose it,” Jennifer McKee, a park neighbor, said. “When the school district was considering selling this park to a housing developer, my sun Luke and I went door to door with petitions asking the city to buy the land and keep it a park and we urged residents to speak to the city council about the same issue.”

The park now has an unofficial mascot, area resident Christine Maschka said.

“We were here in the park a month ago when my husband surprised me with this puppy,” she said. “We figured since he gave me the dog here in the park, we ought to name the dog Duncan.”

When the city was seeking grants from Greater Outdoor Colorado to complete the land purchase, her son Luke wrote a letter to the board of directors explaining the importance of the park and asking the board to ap-

prove the grant. It was.

The city bought the site for $1.2 million.

Dave Lee, Englewood open space manager, said no taxpayer dollars were used for the purchase. He said grants from Greater Outdoor Colorado and the Arapahoe County Open Space Fund paid for the land.

The city and developers worked with park neighbors to create a plan that included the amenities residents wanted in the park.

The plan was developed and approved but the cost was higher than expected.

Jerrell Black, parks and recreation director, told the city council at the April 14 study session that only one bid for the makeover was received and the bid was about $500,000 over budget.

“We tried to resolve the issues and eventually decided to recommend we approve a contract for the bidder, American Civil Contractors,” he said. “We plan to cover the gap between the bid and the budget by drawing from other funds, like the money from the lottery. No general fund money will be used for the project.”

Tony Wieland, a park neighbor, said Duncan Park is a gathering place for people who live in the area.

“The park is a warm, inviting place and it provides a place for folks to get together just like it is done in small towns,” she said. “I walk my dog here in the park and meet a lot of neighbors also walking their dogs. What they are doing here is great. I think anything that make the park a more inviting place is wonderful and a benefit to our neighborhood.”

Judge upholds state’s gun laws Constitutionality, not wisdom, of statutes weighed by court

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A federal judge on June 26 rejected a court challenge to gun restrictions that took effect last year, ruling that the new statutes do not infringe on a person’s Second Amendment right to bear firearms, as was alleged by the plaintiffs in the case.

The lawsuit was filed by several county sheriffs in Colorado, along with other citizens and businesses.

The judge’s decision means that the controversial 2012 laws that created universal background checks on gun sales and transfers and banned high-capacity ammunition magazines will remain on the books.

The ruling was a victory for gun-control advocates who believe that the laws help to prevent the kind of mass bloodshed that occurred during the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, which prompted the legislation.

“Today is an important day in the fight to keep our communities and families safe from gun violence,” Rita Schweitz of the Colorado Coalition Against Gun Violence said through an emailed statement.

But plaintiffs told reporters following the court ruling that they plan to appeal the judge’s decision.

“We believe (the judge) got it wrong as a matter of law,” said attorney Dave Kopel. “We think we have a very strong case in the Court of Appeals.”

The state of Colorado and Democratic

Gov. John Hickenlooper — who signed the bills into law — were named as defendants in the lawsuit.

Chief U.S. District Court Judge Marcia S. Krieger ruled that the law that bans ammunition magazines that carry more than 15 rounds “is not severe” in how it impacts a person’s ability to keep or bear firearms for self-defense purposes. “... this statute does not prevent the people of Colorado from possessing semiautomatic weapons for self-defense, or from using those weapons as they are designed to function,” Krieger wrote in

ing. However, Krieger rejected that argument, saying that, “a pause, of any duration, imposed on the offensive shooter can only be beneficial ...”

Krieger also took issue with a plaintiffs’ argument that those who are intent on committing violence will simply ignore the law and obtain the magazines anyway.

“Hypothetically, this may be true, but the Court declines to speculate about the subjective intentions and means of unspecified criminals involved in unspecified gun violence,” Krieger wrote.

‘... in determining whether a law is constitutional, this decision does not determine whether either law is ‘good,’ only whether it is constitutionally permissible.’

Chief U.S. District Court Judge Marcia S. Krieger

a 50-page opinion. “The only limitation imposed is how frequently they must reload their weapons.”

Supporters of the magazine ban law argue that the statute limits the wouldbe shooters’ abilities to get their hands on high-capacity magazines. They also argue that limiting the amount of rounds a person can fire allows time for victims to fight back or for law enforcement to intervene while the shooter reloads.

The plaintiffs argued that skilled shooters know how to reload quickly anyway, which mitigates the benefit of a “critical pause” during magazine reload-

STUDENTS SEKING HOST FAMILIES THIS FALL:

As for the law that requires background checks on all gun sales and transfers, the plaintiffs argued that the Second Amendment protects the borrowing of guns for lawful purposes.

But Krieger disagreed with the plaintiffs’ interpretation of the Second Amendment.

“As repeatedly noted, the Second Amendment guarantees an individual’s right to keep and bear arms for the core purpose of defense of self and home,” she wrote. “However, it is not at all clear that the Second Amendment prevents the government from restricting the ability of persons to acquire firearms via temporary loans from others.”

The gun bills were the most controversial of all legislation that was passed by the Democratic-majority Legislature last year. Testimony and debate on the bills often dragged on for several hours and led to Capitol protests from progun advocates as well as shows of support from gun-safety and victims’-rights groups.

The bills — which passed with no Re-

publican support — had political ramifications for Democrats. The legislation cost Democrats three seats in the state Senate through officeholders’ defeats in recall elections and the resignation of another in the face of a recall threat.

In her decision, Krieger acknowledged the polarizing debate over gun issues, but said that the court’s role has nothing to do with whether a law is popular.

It only concerns itself with the constitutionality of the law.

“Put another way,” Krieger wrote, “in determining whether a law is constitutional, this decision does not determine whether either law is `good,’ only whether it is constitutionally permissible.”

As is the case with all court challenges to state laws, the case was defended by the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, which is headed by Republican Attorney General John Suthers.

“Like Judge Krieger, the Colorado Attorney General’s Office has never asserted that the laws in question are good, wise or sound policy,” Suthers said through a statement. “As it does in all cases, the AG’s Office has fulfilled its responsibility to defend the constitutionality of the Colorado law in question.

“The Attorney General’s Office fully expects the case to be appealed and looks forward to final resolution of the issues as soon as possible.”

But plaintiffs insist that the laws — especially the magazine limit ban — are unenforceable and that Krieger’s decision doesn’t change that belief.

“I came out right away and said that these laws are unenforceable, so therefore I won’t enforce them,” said Weld County Sheriff John Cooke.

Meanwhile, the court ruling was hailed as a victory for those who have lost loved ones during episodes of gun violence.

Dave Hoover, a Lakewood police officer whose nephew, AJ Boik, was killed during the Aurora theater shooting, said the high-capacity magazine ban “can reduce the number of victims killed in mass shootings.”

“And as someone who has worked in law enforcement here in Colorado for over 30 years, I can tell you that limiting high-capacity magazines is a significant step in protecting our law enforcement officers in the field.”

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com An effort to ban the carrying of concealed handguns on college campuses ended June 26 out of supporters’ concerns that the issue could be used as a “political football” to impact the November election.

For months, backers of the campus gun ban had been collecting signatures in hopes of putting the issue to voters on this fall’s ballot. But supporters saw a political reality that caused them to pull the plug on their effort.

“In the last few weeks it became very evident that last year’s gun violence prevention legislation was going to be a major campaign issue in many candidate campaigns,” Boulder resident Ken Toltz, the founder of Safe Campus Colorado, said in an email to Colorado Community Media.

Toltz was referring to legislation that became law in 2013, including bans on high-capacity ammunition magazines and the creation of universal background checks on all gun sales and transfers.

The bills stirred passionate reaction from both gun enthusiasts and gun-control advocates. The legislation passed the Democratic-majority legislature without Republican support.

Another bill that would have banned concealed weapons from being carried

on college campuses was killed by a Senate sponsor prior to it receiving a vote in that chamber.

It is already illegal to carry concealed guns on K-12 campuses.

Toltz said the decision to stop the signature-gathering effort was not related to any lack of public support for the campus gun ban.

“The signature-gathering was very successful on a statewide basis, as the average voter agreed that concealed guns on college campuses is a bad idea,” he said.

Last year’s gun legislation led to recall elections that ended up costing Democrats three seats in the state Senate — two Democrats lost in those recalls, while another resigned in the face of a recall.

Toltz did not directly respond when asked if he received any pressure from Democrats or other interested parties to stop the effort. But he did acknowledge the politics of gun control.

“Being nonpartisan, we decided that our issue was too important to let it become a political football,” he said.

Dudley Brown, who heads Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, said petition backers were wise to halt the signaturegathering because another gun restriction effort would have “kicked the hornets’ nest.”

“I think they got phone calls from Democrats saying, `This is not a good thing for our candidates for office because this will motivate gun owners in droves,’” Brown said. “Democratic operatives know that this is a dangerous thing for them to do, to tinker with this.”

Governor lowers odds on fracking special session Potential bill on hydraulic fracturing seeks compromise on local control

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com More doubt was cast recently on the possibility of a special legislative session on hydraulic fracturing, as Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 27 lowered expectations that lawmakers will meet over the summer to tackle this contentious issue.

Hickenlooper said in May that the odds were “50/50” that a special session will be held. However, on June 27, Hickenlooper told reporters that he thinks those odds are now “less than 50/50.”

“We’re still working on it as hard as we can,” the Democratic governor said.

“I think we’ve got a product that’s pretty good, but there seems to be a political barrier there that we haven’t been able to get past.”

The “product” Hickenlooper was referring to is a revised draft of legislation that would serve as the centerpiece for a special session.

The potential bill aims to strike a compromise on the issue of how much control communities have in dealing with fracking — the blasting of water, sand and chemicals into the surface to free up blocked oil and gas.

As the November election nears, the move toward a legislative solution is growing urgent for interested parties. There are several fracking-related ballot initiatives that could end up making it on to the ballot this fall.

So far, a handful of Colorado communities have taken action on fracking issues by placing drilling bans or moratoriums in their towns. And, on June 24, Loveland voters narrowly rejected a ballot question that sought to place a two-year moratorium on fracking within city limits.

The draft bill grants communities the ability to dictate some aspects of oil and gas operations and it has received the support of seven oil and gas companies.

“The legislative solution that you have put forward will ensure communities continue to have a voice in the regulation of oil and natural gas development, while protecting property rights, and supporting responsible energy development,” states a June 26 letter that was written to Hickenlooper on behalf of the seven companies.

“Your proposal will also help avoid ballot measures that, if adopted, would become constitutional provisions that leave no room for negotiation or compromise, regardless of the circumstances. We believe the legislature is the right place to work through these issues.”

Hickenlooper - a pro-fracking geolo-

gist - would rather see all parties reach a compromise on local control issues at the legislative level, instead of having voters decide on what could be a large number of ballot proposals in the fall, ones that would be spearheaded by anti-fracking advocates and financed in large part by Democratic Congressman Jared Polis.

“If you look at the potential consequences to having a $50 (million) to $75 million ballot initiative campaign fight between both sides ... that’s not necessarily a good thing,” the governor said. “It creates a divisive and bitter battle and no matter the resolution, the other side is going to come right back and be all over it next year.

“Things like this are much better solved in legislative solutions because you can come back and amend them easier the next year; whereas ... most stuff in the state Constitution, we don’t take out.”

But reaching that compromise is a whole other matter. On one hand there are significant economic interests associated with fracking. On the other, there are serious environmental concerns. That can be a tough balance to find in a place like Colorado, where the two sides of the argument have powerful backers.

Some anti-fracking advocates are voicing their displeasure with the draft legislation.

“I’ve read the proposal and I am adamantly against it,” said Laura Fronckiewicz of Our Broomfield, an anti-fracking group.

“What I saw is a huge step backwards. This is a total giveaway to the oil and gas industry.”

Meanwhile, those on the other side of the divide are gearing up for what they believe is an imminent fight over drilling this fall.

“All signs point to a big, expensive drawn out election,” said Jon Haubert of Coloradans for Responsible Energy Development, a pro-fracking group. “We don’t have to wait for a special session. We can see the writing on the wall.”

Another key question is whether Republican lawmakers will support any compromise that limits oil and gas operations. And there’s no guarantee that a bill would earn enough support from conservative Democrats in the state Senate, where the party holds a one seat majority.

Although he has lowered the odds of a special session occurring, Hickenlooper is still holding out hope for a resolution.

“If these guys think it’s okay (oil and gas companies) to give some local control to the community, maybe there should be a bipartisan solution there,” the governor said.

At the same time, the governor knows that time is running out on reaching that compromise.

“That ticking clock is loud in my head, that we are rapidly running out of time,” he said.

Heritage senior is governor of Girls State Passaglia granted opportunityto go to Washington, D.C.

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com State Sen. Linda Newell found herself a “mini me” in Gunnison, and was delighted to learn she is one of her own constituents.

Newell was a keynote speaker for the American Legion’s Girls State week, June 8-13 at Western State College. That’s where she met Heritage High School senior-to-be Rita Passaglia, who started out the week nervous and ended it with a passion for politics.

“In high school, you’re kind of used to being who you’re not,” Passaglia said. “But there, I thought, `I have nothing to lose. I’m going to be completely myself.’ By the end of the week, I was so comfortable in my skin and talking to everybody.”

Girls State is designed to teach “how government works while developing leadership skills and an appreciation for your rights as a citizen,” according to the American Legion’s website. More than 150 young women from throughout the state gathered for a realistic weeklong dip into politics. They ran for office, gave speeches, wrote laws and had all the debates Newell herself has weathered during her time at the state Capitol — things like marijuana, gun control and gay marriage.

“Those are the ones I preferred talk-

ing about, because I spend so much time thinking about them,” said Passaglia. “It was fun to share my thoughts without anybody being able to shout me down. But we did have some disagreements.”

Passaglia more than held her own and ended up being elected governor, the highest office in the state, and being chosen to go on to Girls Nation in Washington, D.C., in July, where there’s a good chance she’ll meet the President Barack Obama.

“It was a life-changing experience,” said Passaglia. “I got to meet 150 bright and confident women. Every single girl who was there is going to be important, and I’m one of them.”

It worked for Newell, who attended Girls State more than 40 years ago. She didn’t get elected to anything that time, but she hasn’t lost an election since. Her daughter, Brittany, was appointed the senate chaplain during her week there and today is working to enter the ministry.

“Remember this moment and take with you the leadership skills you’ve gained this week, and dream big, because you never know where your life will take you,” Newell told the girls. “You never know when an opportunity will present itself and it will be time to say yes to life.”

The event is real-world nonpartisan, but the students ran in the made-up parties of the Federalists and the Nationalists. Passaglia considers herself a moderate “purple” in reality, mirroring the community she’s grown up in.

“I just don’t know how you can completely agree with one side or completely agree with the other side,” she said. “There

Heritage senior Rita Passaglia, left, was elected governor during her recent Girls State adventure, during which State Sen. Linda Newell, right, gave what Passaglia said was a “very inspiring” speech. Photo by Jennifer Smith were definitely some clashes. I was expecting mass agreement, because my family all agrees. We have some good diversity here, so I think being from Littleton gave me a huge advantage.”

Newell wishes more kids like Passaglia would engage in the system.

“If they’re going to be the ones putting us in the nursing homes, they’re also going to be the ones developing the laws and the policies,” she said. “They need access now to see what we’re doing well, what we’re doing not so well and what changes they might need to make.”

Pedestrian bridge work underway Quebec Street overpass project to extend into fall Staff report Construction on a new pedestrian crossing on the west side of Quebec Street over C-470 has begun and will continue through Nov. 24.

The bridge will mirror one constructed a few years ago on the east side, allowing safe passage for walkers and cyclists on both sides of the busy overpass.

“Now people won’t have to cross over to the east side if they want to cross 470,” project engineer Dennis Lobberding said.

The $1.6 million Douglas County Government project is partially funded by a $500,000

grant from the Denver Regional Council of Governments.

Lawrence Construction was awarded the contract for the six-month project. Intermittent lane closures will occur throughout construction on Quebec as well as the westbound on-ramp and eastbound off-ramp.

The bridge near the borders of Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch and Centennial will benefit drivers as well as cyclists and pedestrians by easing demand for the “walk” crossing button.

Future plans also call for creating a new crossing for the C-470 bicycle trail underneath Quebec, but that project has been delayed while the C-470 Corridor Coalition studies future expansion plans for the highway.

The east side Quebec Street/C-470 bridge was constructed in 2008.

Construction crews work June 30 on a pedestrian bridge that will span the west side of the Quebec/C-470 overpass, matching the one already in place on the east side. Photo by Jane Reuter

All dressed up for Ren Fest Annual summer festival draws large crowds each weekend

By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Princes and paupers came from across the state over the weekend to enjoy the atmosphere at the Colorado Renaissance Festival & Artisan Marketplace in Larkspur.

The festival, now in its 39th year, boasts 10 stages, performing 60 shows daily.

Everything from magic to jousting can be found at the festival, including a welldressed public.

“It’s awesome for people to get together and dress up. Everyone is in kilts and dressed up with their hair braided with flowers and you can have a couple margaritas and just hang out,” said Renee Teter, of Denver.

More than 200 period artisans sell and demonstrate their crafts in the marketplace.

The marketplace is cash only. However, there are four ATM locations in the kingdom.

The festival, which runs Saturdays and Sunday until Aug. 3, is open each weekend from 10 a.am. t0 6:30 p.m. and offers free on-site parking.

“I’ve come almost every year since I was in fourth grade, so probably like 15 or 16 years now. The event hasn’t changed much, there are just more people now,” Eric Fresces said.

A performer interacts with the public June 29 at the Colorado Renaissance Festival.

Food and drink are available at the marketplace as well. Giant turkey legs and cold ale are in great supply.

Admission is $19.95 for adults, $9 for children ages 5-12 and free for children under the age of five.

Festivalgoers are welcome to come dressed in costume and costumes are available for rent. Costumes, swords and daggers are permitted as long as they are properly sheathed.

July 5 and 6 is children’s weekend at the festival.

Activities include a costume contest at the Puke & Snot Stage, a Royal Quest

followed by the Knighting Ceremony by Good King Henry and Faire Queen Anne.

During children’s weekend only, kids 12 and under experience the festival for free with a paying adult.

“They should have it open all week, not just on the weekends,” Teter said.

“We’ll come back every year.”

Coloradans are familiar with the impressive sports career of Jeremy Bloom, the three-time world champion skier, two-time Olympian, 11-time World Cup gold medalist and member of the United States Skiing Hall of Fame. And when he wasn’t tearing up the slopes, Bloom was burning up the gridiron as a CU Buff and briefly as an NFL player.

But despite all of Jeremy’s sports accolades, his sister, Molly, was leading a quieter yet more colorful life as the owner/organizer of a high-stakes poker game for the rich and famous, including actors Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and billionaire Guy Laliberté, CEO of Cirque du Soleil.

“Molly ran her exclusive, top-secret, bicoastal poker ring for several years, keeping the details secret from even her closest friends and family — but now she’s finally showing her hand in her memoir, `Molly’s Game,’” which was released June 24, according to a story in The New York Post.

Molly Bloom grew up in Loveland, with her dad, a Colorado State University professor, mom and two brothers.

“Months later, Bloom was heading to one of her games when a player texted her that the feds had crashed it looking for her,” the Post story says. “Bloom fled to Colorado, where she refused to talk to investigators, which resulted in her assets being frozen.

“The former high-roller lived a quiet life in Colorado until two years later, in 2013, when she moved back to LA and shortly after got a knock on her door from the FBI. “She was charged, along with 30 others, with participating in two Russian-American organized-crime enterprises engaged in gambling and money laundering. (She says she had no idea about her players’ illicit dealings.)”

Molly, who was dubbed “the Poker Princess” by news outlets during the trial, avoided prison and was sentenced to one year of probation earlier this year.

“If I had to do it all over, would I choose the same path?” she writes. “My answer is yes, a thousand times yes. I had a grand adventure.”

Nothing boring in this ‘Paper Work’ Artist’s ‘Splendiferous’ mixed media on display in Denver

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “My mixed media installations and drawings recontextualize simplified shapes, signs and symbols from disparate historical and contemporary imagery to create abstract fictions,” says artist Liz Miller. “Recent projects pit Baroque and Gothic pattern and ornament against forms derived from weapons and weaponry …”

Miller spoke about her career in art that brought her to create “Splendiferous Jungle Warfare,” the intricate installation that rose behind her June 19 at the Center for Visual Art in Denver’s Santa Fe Arts District, after she spent the week assembling it onsite as part of a new exhibit, “Paper Work.”

Miller, who describes herself as “professor and working artist,” teaches art at Minnesota State University, Mankato, full time and travels throughout the country installing her large, intricately designed sculptural works, executed in mixed media.

She does the preliminary cutting, shaping and spraypainting in her studio and ships the elements to be assembled.

She showed slides of early work, such as paintings and collages from graduate school: “I did hundreds of them, 8½ by 11, looking for pattern. The palette was not necessarily traditional. I looked at charts, graphs, diagrams that make sense of things that are chaotic ….”

(She added that her parents are computer scientists.) An example of something of interest was a Hurricane Katrina map. Others were biological shapes.

She received her BFA in painting from Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA from the University of Minnesota.

Her first installation was in 2004 — “Fairly flat, dealing with order and chaos…” She discovered stiffened felt, used in some constructions, and was inspired by an overgrowth of kudzu vine to create “Function of Ornament.” She showed a series of slides that inspired her art, including one of soldiers’ helmets surrounded by lush jungle growth — the start of the new work at CVA. The viewer will no doubt have a series of impressions, as this one did: Are those military figures at the rear — or tropical trees and vines? Are there birds perched in trees? Blossoms? Projectiles? And spread on the floor: undergrowth or …? With such a bright palette, how can there be anything sinister here?

The audience had questions about her process: Does she sketch, diagram or build a model? Does she reuse or recreate from her materials such as those used here?

She starts with an idea and builds it — no preliminary sketches or models. She ships the elements to the awaiting gallery and goes to work fitting it in place. She was pleased with the red walls at the CVA as a satisfactory background for her brightly hued design elements.

She does not reuse the materials, but has given them away for a school to recycle/reuse. The works are after all, temporary — preserved in photos only. This quality is seen in numerous contemporary works, but causes rethinking to art students — and former art students — who have been drilled on using archival paper, etc., so works will be long-lasting.

if you go The “Paper Work” exhibit at the Center for Visual Art, Metropolitan State University’s gallery at 965 Santa Fe Drive, Denver, will run through Aug. 2.

On July 10 from 6-8 p.m., Anne Hallam, assistant professor of art, and Dr. Ben Dyhr, assistant professor of mathematics, will lead “Paper Manipulations: 3-D Investigations Workshop” from 6 to 8 p.m. Gallery hours: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Tuesdays through Fridays, noon to 5 Saturdays. 303-294-5207. Admission is free. MetroStateCVA.org.

Playful ‘Plash’ placed in park

By Sonya Ellingboe and Jennifer Smith Staff writers

Corner House closes

The Corner House, the Jefferson Park eatery founded by Seattle Fish Co. “schoolmaster” James Iacino and celebrated chef Matt Selby (Vesta Dipping Grill, Steuben’s, Ace), closed June 21, according to a story in Westword.

Within less than a year of opening, Selby split from the neighborhood eatery for unclear reasons. Selby is now the top toque at Central Bistro in LoHi. Restaurant consultant and marketing maven Leigh Sullivan, who handles the restaurant’s public relations, became a part-owner, but according to Westword, the investment was too little too late.

The space has been taken over by an unnamed “up-andcoming” chef, who will reopen with a new concept.

Ted’s salutes the bison

Ted’s Montana Grill restaurants are joining their fans to pay tribute to the ingredients, meals and hospitality that define the Great American West.

D’Evelyn Education Foundation

WON $1,000 YOU COULD TOO!

Little’s Creek Park artwork designed for light interaction The South Suburban Public Art Committee welcomed its most recent commissioned acquisition, “Plash,” on June 27 at Little’s Creek Park, near the intersection of Broadway and Sterne Parkway.

Committee chair Joyce Volpe introduced other committee members and the artists, Jean and Tom Latke of Pueblo, at the site.

Created from brilliantly colored glass, stainless steel and concrete, “Plash” is positioned to catch the sun and bright light and play games with them. The Latkas explained that “Plash” is the sound of a drop hitting water.

They spoke of their start as ceramists and their transition into working with glass. “We found the pottery equipment also works for glass. Thirty-five years of making pots is enough. And glass is very sexy,” Tom Latka said.

He had earlier told committee member Charles Whitley (publisher of ArtScape Colorado and a friend): “To be an artist is like doing a tap dance on a tightrope between the head, the heart and the hands …”

This work really illustrates that, with its passionate use of color and form, as well as the manifestation of technical skills in assembling the glass, cementing it to concrete and framing it in mirror-finish steel. “Plash” measures 6-by-8-by-6 feet and weighs 5,000 pounds. It is carefully sited to avoid the park’s sprinklers.

The Latkas, who are nationally recognized and have work in the Smithsonian collection, produce works of public art that withstand weathering and are attractive to viewers of all

Nationally recognized artists Tom and Jean Latka talk about “Plash,” a sculpture created from glass, concrete and steel, installed near the pond’s edge at Little’s Creek Park in Littleton. Photo by Sonya Ellingboe ages. (I found myself wishing for the company of a 4-year-old when “Plash” was introduced — it would be love at first sight.)

From the Latkas’ website: “Our goal is to reconnect with these archetypal, primal-ubiquitous forms, the shapes that everyone relates to, like spheres, circles, ovals and spirals.

Universal forms, like the shape of our planet or the concentric circles or drops of water are our guide …”

The easily accessible “Plash” is a good introduction to the Latkas’ world. An example of earlier ceramic work is a 1998 relief mural on the wall of the Littleton Center, soon after one enters.

“Bison are a true American icon that once thundered across our Great Plains,” said George W. McKerrow, who, along with media mogul Ted Turner, co-founded Ted’s Montana Grill and pioneered the effort to preserve our country’s bison herds.

“This summer, we are celebrating authentic American dining by shining a spotlight on all the ways local mavericks enjoy our beef and bison burgers.”

Now through July 14, entries and nominations for the “Bite Your Bison” photo contest may be submitted on the Ted’s Montana Grill Facebook page, or via Instagram photos and tweets with the hashtag #BiteYourBison. Photo entries also will be accepted at bigskyspirit@tedsmontanagrill.com. Three fans with the most votes will enter the finals, where a restaurant voting panel will choose the grand prize winner of a Big Green Egg barbecue.

‘Divergent’ series author to visit Highlands Ranch One of Roth’s four national stops is at Tattered Cover

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Hugely successful young author Veronica Roth, whose “Divergent” trilogy has sold more than 22 million copies and inspired a new popular film by the same name, will appear to meet fans at the Tattered Cover/ Highlands Ranch at 7 p.m. July 15.

Appearing with her at the book signing will be Margaret Stohl, co-author of the “Beautiful Creatures” series, which led to a 2013 film with that title.

Both authors fit into a major pop culture movement that has readers of all ages collecting and enjoying titles in the young adult category — a trend that took off with J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series and continues unabated, despite publication of some critical articles.

Roth’s latest book is “Four: a Divergent Collection,” four short stories told from the perspective of Tobias “Four” Eaton, a major character in the previous books.

“Divergent,” her first title, was written during the winter break of Roth’s final year as a creative writing major at Northwestern University, where she also earned an MFA. Set in her home territory of Chicago, the books take a reader into a dystopian world, where Factions rule: Abnegation, Amnesty,

events manager. This program will follow Roth to other cities she visits: Boston, Atlanta and Lansing, Mich.

Roth is said to have been a voracious reader as a teen and is committed to encouraging young people to read. In addition to her four-city tour, Roth will be attending the enormously popular San Diego Comic Con International, which attracts fans of science fiction by the thousands.

IF YOU GO Veronica Roth and Margaret Stohl will appear at Tattered Cover/Highlands Ranch, 9315 Dorchester St. Highlands Ranch, at 7 p.m. July 15.

Roth is on a four-city national tour, which includes Denver. At each stop, her publisher, Harper-Collins, will pair her with another popular young-adult author.

In this case, it’s Stohl, whose new title is “Idols,” second in her new series that debuted with “Icons.”

When readers buy a copy of both new books, it will trigger the gift of a book through the national organization One Book to a child in need, according to Tattered Cover’s Michael Cruikshank, special

Local trainer battles it out on national TV Alysha White in episode of Steve Austin’s ‘Broken Skull’

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Most people would run away fast and far if they heard former pro wrestler “Stone Cold” Steve Austin stand up and shout, “I love the smell of combat in the morning!”

Not so Alysha White.

“Steve Austin is the man,” said the 26-year-old personal trainer. “I’ve had the biggest dorky crush on him since I was a kid. He’s so down to earth, so humble.”

White offered herself up to be brutalized on Austin’s new show on Country Music Television, “Broken Skull.” The starring role is played by Austin’s personal obstacle course, which features barbed wire, 60-pound logs, mud, ice water, 40-degree hills and every other thing Austin could fit in to break down the contestants’ body and will.

At the end, they climb 17 feet up a raw rope to ring a little bell.

Every week, eight people battle each other for the “honor” of attempting the course for a shot at $10,000.

“It’s all brutal,” says Austin on the show’s website. “It’s hand-to-hand combat.”

But White arrived well prepared for battle, having been fighting one with bulimia most of her life.

“I basically destroyed my body, and I’m going to spend the rest of my life trying to fix it,” she said on June 27 during an interview at one of the gyms she trains at, Blunt Force in Denver. Another is Total Fitness and Nutrition in Highlands Ranch.

White began modeling as a young girl growing up on her family’s beef farm in Kansas. But beef farms aren’t the best place for the extremely body conscious, and she struggled to keep her weight down. Bulimia was an early method.

“It was a really dark place for a really long time,” she said. “It’s helped me to be

so blunt and honest about it.”

But then she found boxing, a natural for a young lady with five older brothers, she said.

“Boxing saved me,” she said. “It was the only thing that was more important to me than my addiction. … You will never make that transformation into better until you want it for yourself.”

She still models today, along with pursuing body building and her personaltraining enterprise.

“I warn girls to know who you are and what you stand for before you into modeling, and have some thick skin,” she said.

She recently started JustaFitChick.com, where she offers health and exercise tips, a cleverly written blog and products like supplements and, soon, her own line of fitness wear.

“I want to inspire people,” she said. “I want to create a community. Not everyone can break fitness down and make it fit into your life, and that’s what I do.”

Outgoing and confident, White said the hardest part of doing the show for her was not being able to talk to the other contestants before filming, forbidden so they wouldn’t form alliances. But after they got done basically trying to kill each other on the set, they became the best of friends, says White.

“They are nine of the most amazing women I’ve ever met,” she said. “We’ve stayed in touch. They did a great job of picking women from all walks of life. …

They’re fierce competitors, but really cool.”

She wouldn’t give away any surprises about her episode, which airs on July 13, other than to say viewers will be shocked at the outcome of each competition.

“I’m extremely happy with my experience,” she said. “Not just because I believe that life puts you in certain situations to learn something, but because I was so inspired by the people there that when I got home, all I wanted to do was inspire more women.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF JunE 30, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Get your facts together and become familiar with them before you have to face up to that interview. The better prepared you are, the easier it will be to make that important impression.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) new information might warrant changing your mind about a recently made decision. never mind the temporary confusion it might cause. Acting on the truth is always preferable.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Creating a loving atmosphere for those you care for could pay off in many ways. Expect to hear some unexpected but very welcome news that can make a big difference in your life.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Stepping away from an old and seemingly insoluble problem might be helpful. use the time to take a new look at the situation and perhaps work out a new method of dealing with it.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You’re still in a favorable goalsetting mode. However, you might need to be a little more realistic about some of your aims. Best to reach for what is currently doable. The rest will follow.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A setback is never easy to deal with. But it could be a boon in disguise. Recheck your proposal, and strengthen the weak spots.

Seek advice from someone who has “been there and done that.”

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Coming up with a new way of handling a tedious job-regulated chore could lead to more than just a congratulatory memo once the word reaches the “right people.” Good luck.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to nov 21) What you might call determination someone else might regard as stubbornness. Look for ways to reach a compromise that won’t require a major shift of views on your part.

SAGITTARIUS (nov 22 to Dec 21) You’re still in a vulnerable mode vis-a-vis “offers” that sound too good to be true. So continue to be skeptical about anything that can’t be backed up with provable facts.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Thrift is still dominant this week. What you don’t spend on what you don’t need will be available for you to draw on should a possible (albeit temporary) money crunch hit.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Staying close to home early in the week allows for some introspection about your social life. Sort out your feelings before rejoining your fun-time fellows on the weekend.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) It can be a bit daunting as well as exciting to find yourself finally taking action on a long-delayed move for a change. It helps to stay with it when others rally to support you.

Pirates post summer softball win Girls under-16 team closes out regular season with 9-2 record

By Tom Munds tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Englewood combined good pitching, solid defense and key hitting to post a 5-3 win in a June 26 under-16 girls softball game against Sheridan.

“This game wraps up our regular season and we are getting ready to start league tournament play,” Pirates coach Shawn Largent said afterward. “We finished the season with a 9-2 record as one of the top two teams in our league. Our rival for the top spot is Thomas Jefferson just as it seems to be every year.”

The June 26 game against Sheridan was close all the way with the score tied 1-1 at the end of the first inning.

Sheridan got a key hit in the third inning to go ahead 3-1, but Englewood countered in the bottom half of the inning as Lauren Berg slid in ahead of a tag to score a run and the Pirates added another run to tie the score at 3-3.

Englewood then loaded the bases in the fifth inning and Miranda Holman drove a double to deep left center field to send a pair of teammates across the plate to close out the scoring.

Pirate pitcher Britney Hall threw well throughout, recording nine strikeouts, including two in the final inning.

The Englewood team includes several players who were members of last year’s Englewood High School team.

Maddie Smith is one of the high school team players, but switches up positions in the summer. Smith catches for the Pirates during the high school season but, in the summer, she is playing second base.

“I love softball and play as much as I can,” she said after the game. “I play with this team and I also play with a competitive team during the summer. I play infield for this team to get a break from catching.”

She said she grew up playing baseball.

But since girls can’t play baseball in high

The Rams got ahead early but the Pirates came back to win the game, 5-3. Photos by Tom Munds school she switched over to softball. She said it was a good move and she has a lot of fun playing the game.

She said one reason she likes softball is because it is a team sport.

“All the players are friends and we stick together whether we win or lose so that sort of makes us like family,” she said. “I like to play just about any position but I like to catch best. I like being the catcher because I am part of every play.”

Smith said she has been working hard to improve her softball skills.

“I think the skill I have improved the most is hitting,” she said. “I worked hard to do it. I hit the ball off the tee and do drills almost every day. I also keep active and keep in top shape so I can play my best. I am ready for the high school season to start today because I just love to play softball.”

First baseman Dolly Ostrowski fielded a bunt and throws out the runner for Englewood during the June 26 Under-16 girls softball league game against Sheridan. The Pirates won the final game of the season, edging the Rams, 5-3.

Driver spent boyhood at speedway Kyle Ray keeps family tradition alive and well

By Jim Benton jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Kyle Ray used to play kickball at Colorado National Speedway, but he’s now one of the racetrack’s paramount drivers.

Ray is listed as a rookie in the Mod Coupe, Super Modified and Grand American Modified divisions, but the Littleton resident is a third-generation driver who started his racing career in Go-Karts, Shifter Karts, Sprint Cars and Midgets.

“My grandpa, his name is Bill Ray, raced at Englewood Speedway in the Super Modified in the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s,” said Ray. “My dad raced at CNS when it was dirt. His name is also Bill Ray. He raced when it was asphalt in the Super Stock.

“I kind of grew up at CNS. My aunt used to get there at like 1 o’clock every day to watch practice. She would take care of the kids. We had like a day-care service in the grandstands. We would just hang out up there. Then my dad and grandpa would go watch the races from the pits. I wasn’t allowed in the pits because there was an age limit. I remember playing kickball and stuff at CNS by the

bathrooms over there in turn four.”

Ray, 26, started racing go-karts in 2001 and raced professionally. He took second in the Monaco Kart Cup and started driving open-wheel cars in 2006. After taking a few years off because of financial reasons, he resumed racing four years ago at CNS in the Legend series.

He captured two Rocky Mountain Legend Racing Association championships and this season is driving the No. 3 Mod Coupe for Starr Racing, owned by Littleton’s Jack Starr, in the Colorado Auto Racing Club series. He is also driving the No. 58 Super Modified owned by his dad and a Grand American Modified, which is owned by Mike Hunter of Parker.

“Basically every day after I get off work, I go to work at my second job as a race-car person,” said Ray. Ray holds track records for Modified Coupes and Legends at CNS. He established the Legend mark of 18.500 and 72.973 miles per hour July 5, 2013. He broke his own Mod Coupe record on June 7 with a 15.266 at 88.4 mph.

“I’m a rookie in all three divisions but I wouldn’t consider myself a rookie, but according to their format I’m a technically a rookie,” said Ray. “Our goal for this year was to win the CARC championship but we had some mechanical failures on the car and had two DNFs (did not finish). We changed

Joe Starr, Jack’s brother, claims it is hard not to notice when Ray is driving.

“I’d have to say right at the moment that Kyle Ray is the hottest driver at the track when you start looking at all the divisions he’s racing in,” said Starr. “He’s made an impression in all three divisions. He’s a pretty hot commodity right at the moment.”

Kyle Ray acknowledges his fans at the track.

Malley team splits doubleheader Softball players take on Westminster squad

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Malley Senior Recreation Center softball team opened the second half of the season at home and split a doubleheader with Westminster.

Fielding a softball team in the senior center league has become a Malley tradition. The Englewood center has fielded a team almost since the center opened in the late 1970s.

“Malley had a team long before I started playing, and I have been playing about 20 years,” said longtime Malley player Doug Picker. “Our players range in age from the late 50s to the early 80s.

“We usually have a good turnout, but age and health are always issues. Sometime players decide they are too old to keep playing but, more often, a player gets hurt and doesn’t feel well enough to continue to play,” he continued. “For example, we started the season with 16 players and now are down to 12. Our roster is small but we love softball, so we keep on playing.”

Malley plays its home games at Spencer Field in Centennial Park. Bright sunshine and a warm breeze set the scene for the June 25 doubleheader against Westminster.

The first game didn’t go well for the Malley players. They hit the ball hard but right at Westy defenders who made the catches.

When the Westminster hitters came to bat, they smacked out seeing-eye grounders and line drives that evaded Malley defenders.

Westminster won the first game by 10 runs.

The Malley team has players ranging in age from the mid-50s to almost 80. The team split the doubleheader with Westminster and has about a .500 record this season.

The second game went the other way, though. Malley fielded the balls off Westminster bats and the home team got the needed hits to win, 12-7.

Carolyn Anderson smiled as she talked about being part of the Malley team.

“I have been playing for Malley for about seven seasons now,” she said. “I play because it is so much fun to be outside in the nice weather and to be with such a great group of teammates. We are friends on and off the field. There isn’t any griping at teammates and we cheer for each other whether the play is good or not.

“Oh, we like to win and want to win every game,” she continued. “But we know softball is just a game and being out here is all about having fun and a good time.”

She said she looks forward to summer and playing softball for Malley.

“There aren’t a lot of things that are better than being out on the field with a lot of friends on a day where the sun is shining and there is a cool breeze,” she said. “We want to win. But, win or lose, we play hard and have a good time. It is great.”

Malley is part of an eight-team senior recreation center league that starts its season in

May. The teams play a round-robin format, with each team playing every league opponent in the first half of the season. Following a short break, the round-robin format is repeated. There is a championship tournament after the regular season that usually wraps up in late August or early September.

The Malley team is about .500 this season.

But the Englewood team has some banners on its wall, as Malley won the league championship tournament in 2006, finished second in 2007 and won the title again in 2008.

Cowboying up for a good time Fireworks follow rodeo, street fair and car show

By Rick Gustafson

Special to Colorado Community Media The Cowboy Up in Kiowa Rodeo wrapped up two days of competition at the Elbert County Fairgrounds on June 28, signing off with a fireworks display and the Hometown Heroes Dance. The Colorado Professional Rodeo Association sanctioned event was just one of three activities attracting visitors to Kiowa over the weekend.

Just down the hill from the bull riding, steer wrestling and team roping, classic cars lined Navajo street and vendors filled Nordman Park to show off their wares at the Sixth Annual Kiowa Street Fair and Car Show.

The street fair and car show opened with the presentation of the colors by the Elizabeth VFW Color Guard on Saturday morning, and inside the park, vendors offered goods ranging from jewelry to handmade scarfs and home-canned pickles.

Michelle Oeser, Kiowa town administrator and coordinator of this year’s Kiowa Street Fair, said the event attracted 65 venders, and she was pleased with the turnout.

In addition to shopping, the street fair included a live performance by local entertainers Billie Owens and Sue Link.

There was a magic and puppet show for kids as well as tents with games and tests of skill where local groups, such as the Lions Club, rewarded contestant’s efforts with candy and toys.

Animals were also a big attraction at this year’s street fair.

In addition to a petting zoo and a mule-powered treadmill spinning an ice-cream churn, volunteers from HawkQuest, a Colorado-based raptor conservation group, exhibited four birds of prey.

HawkQuest’s visit was sponsored by local businesses and allowed visitors to have an up-close experience with a great horned owl, a peregrine falcon and red tail hawk as well as have a picture taken with the star of HawkQuest’s visit, a bald eagle named Magissiwa.

Magissiwa was rescued 15 years ago in Washington state after surviving a fall from her nest as a 6-weekold eaglet. Her mother had abandoned the nest after her mate was shot. HawkQuest exhibits Magissiwa as part of the organization’s efforts to educate the public about birds of prey.

The Kiowa Street Fair is inspired by a similar event, which is believed to have taken place in 1910 on Comanche Street. In 2009, the Town of Kiowa revived the fair and this year, combined it with the Kiowa Car Show.

The car show returned following a two-year break and featured more than 20 classic cars ranging from hotrods to American heavy metal. One entry, a 1974 Plymouth Valliant Skamp, named Tommy Knocker, was rigged with spikes, wrapped in chains and topped off with a vampire baby head making it possibly the ideal escape vehicle if ever there were a zombie apocalypse.

After the sun set on a day filled with activities, damp conditions allowed for the first fireworks display in Kiowa since 2010, and the Cactus Jack Band closed out the weekend, returning to the stage for a second night for the Home Town Heroes Dance.
