place to park and a spot to spread a blanket became hard to find in Cornerstone and Belleview parks, as is traditionally the case, when people gathered for the Family Fun and Fireworks event July 4. The event resembled past years with a variety of activities during the day, a live band on stage in the early evening, and a finishing fireworks display after dark. While a couple rainstorms swept through the area in the late afternoon, the skies eventually cleared. Volleyball games resumed, the attractions were blown up again and activities went on as scheduled. Because so many people park in adjacent areas to watch the fireworks, crowd estimates are difficult. However, during the event, Police Cmdr. Gary Condreay said the crowd in the park looked a bit smaller this year, probably because of the rains. This is the 19th year agencies and communities have joined together to put on a July 4 celebration which culminates with about a 20-minute fireworks display. For 2014, contributors and sponsors including Englewood, Littleton, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, Sheridan, Centennial and Arapahoe County. This year, the Colorado Credit Union, Herbaly Exploration and Land Rover of Denver stepped up as private sponsors to help put on the event. There was an array of paid inflatable attractions located in one area and April McNorton and her family set up the free Grant Street Playground in a nearby area. “I have been volunteering with this event almost since it began. Since we live on Grant Street, my family and I decided to set up these free games and activities and call them the Grant Street Playground,” the Englewood resident said. “Maybe the inflatables are more fun for some kids but we wanted to have games like we used to do and that kids could do free.” She works with other volunteer to set up wading pool as a “fishing tank” and an-

Monica Patton hums and plays her guitar as she takes a break from the other activities at the July 4 Family Fun and Fireworks event. She said she likes to be outside and just play her guitar for her own enjoyment and even occasionally writes a song or two. other wading pool where kid tried to pick up marbles with their toes. Every child who took part in these or other Grant Street activities get a one of the small prizes donated by local merchants. “Setting this up is a lot of work but it also is a lot of fun,” McNorton said. “We usually get here about noon to set up so we can open at 4 p.m. Like I said, it is a lot of work but I love it and I plan to keep on doing it as long as I am physically able to do it.” A lot of people left the park when the rains came. Ryan Franklin rolled down the sides of his tent so he and the family could stay dry. “We brought the tent for shade and to have an area where we could eat. It was a good thing today because it kept us out of the rain,” the Highlands Ranch man said. “We came because the kids really want to see the fireworks, I am sure the rain will blow over so we are staying put so we have a good place to watch the fireworks.” Volunteers are important to the success of

The project transforming the Englewood Train Depot into a letterpress museum has moved more slowly than owner Tom Parson expected. “I though completing the things that had to be done so we could start work on the building would go faster but I was wrong,” Parson said. “For example, we had to obtain the historic easement on the property before doing any work on the building. The easement process took a lot more time than I expected because we had to go back a couple times and make sure all the right words in the historic documents were included in the application. But we have successful completed the application, it has been accepted by the process is being filed so we can begin planning to move forward.” He said some necessary roof repairs were recently completed and he is working with a company to repair the roof’s gutters. “Our next project is constructing a permanent wall on the east side of the lower level,” he said. “Right now, that is a plywood wall with an opening at the top so the area isn’t secure enough to use. We also have to build a ramp leading into that lower level. We hope to get bids and have a contractor working on the wall and ramp later this summer.” Parson also has been busy organizing the non-profit depot organization and raising money for the project. “We got help from a number of printers who created a collection of 20 letter press posters,” he said. “We had an event last month in at the Book Bar in North Denver and sold the prints. It went very well. We will also have the posters for sale at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival and next month at the Rocky Mountain Book and Paper Fair. The money raised will help us make the lower level usable so we can begin holding letter press classes there.”

Malley hosts lunch bunch Lunch served up weekdays at Englewood senior center By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com About 40 people moved around to greet friends and chat it up, while they waited for lunch to be served July 3 at the Malley Senior Recreation Center. “Malley and the Volunteers of America join forces to serve lunch five days a week,” said the center’s lunch coordinator Nancy Dickerson. “The meals are prepared in downtown Denver by the VOA and transported to Malley and about 40 other locations around the city. “The lunch is pretty popular and we usually have a pretty good turnout.” The food is delivered in insulated containers and set up in the Malley kitchen. Volunteers get everything ready and, at noon, begin putting the food on trays that other volunteers deliver to the tables. Milk and water are included and the Malley staff also makes coffee and sells if for 25 cents a cup. The meal is open to anyone. The suggested donation for guests 60 and older is $2.50 per meal, while the suggested donation for those under 60 is $7.50. But, donation or no donation, Dickerson said no one is turned away. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. and lunch is served at noon Monday through Friday in the all-purpose room at the Malley Center, 3380 S. Lincoln St. Reservations for lunch must be made two days ahead of time by calling 303-762-2660. “This is a nice thing for seniors like me,” said longtime Englewood resident Wally Smith as he waited for lunch to be served. “I know there are some seniors who live alone and, if they come to lunch, at least this is one meal they won’t have to eat by themselves. “I usually come to lunch three or four

Claudia Friday is one of the volunteers serving meals to the 40 people who came to have lunch July 3 at the Malley Senior Recreation Center. The food, distributed to approximately 30 sites around the metro area, is prepared at a Denver Volunteers of America location and brought to locations such as the Malley Center. Lunch is served Monday through Friday at Malley and those coming to lunch are asked to make reservations at least two days in advance. Photos by Tom Munds times a week. The meals are usually pretty good and the food is good for me. Also, it means I don’t have to fix lunch.” Maeko Golus had similar comments. “Usually the food is pretty good,” she said. “I like to come here for lunch because it means I don’t have to fix a meal and I don’t have to wash the dishes.” As Dickerson checked people in for lunch July 3, she said she wished more people would come by for lunch. “As you can see, most of our diners are senior members of the community. I would guess that most of them live close to Malley,” she said. “It is a low cost meal and I am sure it would benefit some of those who live in the area. The lunches are a great opportunity to enjoy the fellowship and a good meal.”

A group chats and socializes while waiting for lunch to be served July 3 at the Malley Senior Recreation Center. Malley recently joined forces with the Volunteers of America so lunch could be served Monday through Friday at the center. Seniors 60 and older are asked to bring a suggested donation of $2.50 to eat.

Apartment project taking shape Crews construct two apartment buildings on Flood school site By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Motors pump cement into forms, cranes raise sections into place, and work progresses on the apartment complex being built on the former Flood Middle School location at Kenyon and Broadway. When complete, the project will cover about 4.4 acres. The former site of the school building fronts on Broadway for almost two blocks. The site also includes the former grass-covered lot to the east across Lincoln Street. Both locations are now active construction sites. People traveling on Broadway can see a new building going up quickly. Builders are using precast sections to construct the complex. Each section of the walls and floors are brought to the site ready to install. An example of the process occurred recently when the crane lifted a heavy south wall panel into place. It is a delicate process as the crew members stationed in the area receiving the panel communicate with the crane operator so the section is gradually and gently lifted and fitted into place. The initial building is rising on the former Flood school site while dirt and foun-

dation work is underway so the second building can be constructed across Lincoln Street. Plans are to construct a two-building project that will contain 310 apartments. One of the four-story buildings in being constructed on the former school building site while the second four-story building will be built on the lot to the east. The conceptual design is to include onsite parking for all tenants. Wood Partners was selected as the lead contractor for the project. In a meeting with the city council last year, Tim McEntee of Wood Partners said it will be a green project with an effort to receive at least silver LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) designation and possibly gold designation. Plans are for there to be a number of amenities including a pool, landscaped courtyards, a fitness center, a cyber café and a bicycle shop. Flood Middle School was located at 3695 S. Lincoln St. The building was constructed in 1920 and housed the middle school and high school until Englewood High School was built in 1951.The school district made the decision in 2009 to move all Flood students to Sinclair Middle School, which was renamed Englewood Middle School. At the same time, the school board decided to put the Flood site up for sale. The district sold the Flood building and site for slightly more than $1.8 million.

Crews work on constructing an apartment complex on the former site of Flood Middle School. It is to be a twobuilding complex. The building taking shape faces Broadway. The second building will be constructed facing Lincoln Street. Photo by Tom Munds

Businesses to benefit from suggested changes Two-year pilot program could expand scope for city’s grants By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Englewood City Council has given consensus approval for the community development department to make a number of changes to the city’s commercial catalyst program for a two-year trial period. The commercial catalyst program was created in 1997 to provide for outside improvements to businesses such as upgrading signs and landscaping. Businesses apply and, if approved, the city provides grants between $5,000 and $15,000 based on the business frontage. From 2007 until 2013, 52 businesses received grants of about $442,000 while the total combined investment by businesses and the city in outside upgrades was about $1.5 million. “Participation in the catalyst program

has declined the past two years so we recommended a number of changes such as considering grants for permanent improvements inside the building like installing sprinklers. The pilot program also doubles the size of the catalyst grants,” said Darren Hollingsworth, the city’s economic development manager. “I love the program and I have seen the difference firsthand the catalyst grants for improvements outside the building can make,” councilmember Joe Jefferson said. “But I don’t agree with expanding the program to include inside improvements. I would prefer to keep the program as it is now because people can see the improvements to the outside of the building and the signs and those outside changes improve the look of our city.” Mayor Pro Tem Linda Olson suggested the two-year pilot program, which expands the score of the commercial catalyst program. The council since has given consensus approval to her recommendation. For information, call 303-762-2599.

Several new state laws take effect Revenge-posting, fatal hit-and-runs, Jessica’s Law, marijuana all addressed Staff report A wide-ranging group of 50 new laws dealing with everything from Internet crimes to marijuana research to Jessica’s Law took effect July 1. The statutes are among 425 bills that passed the Legislature and were signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper this year. One of the more interesting laws creates a misdemeanor for the online posting of sexual photos of a person for the purposes of harassment or financial gain, otherwise known as “revenge porn.” Posting of the so-called revenge porn is often carried out by an angry lover or spouse as a way of getting back at their partner over a relationship gone wrong. The new law — which had bipartisan support at the Capitol — carries with it a maximum

fine of $10,000. “The effects of someone posting intimate photos online can be devastating to the victim, but now there will be serious consequences for the perpetrators of this horrible practice,” said bill sponsor Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Monument, through an e-mailed statement. Another noteworthy statute will provide $9 million for the study of the health benefits of medical marijuana. The legislation sets up a grant program to fund scientific research into the ways that medical pot can impact those who have chronic ailments. New public safety laws also took effect on July 1. They included a law that will give police more time to investigate fatal hit-and-runs. The law extends the statute of limitations for fatal hit-and-runs to 10 years. Prior to the new law taking effect, a hit-and-run crime could not be prosecuted five years after the incident occurred. “This new law will go a long way toward giving law enforcement the ability to solve any fatal hit-and-runs that

occur in Colorado,” said Rep. Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton, a bill sponsor. “The families of victims can now feel more confident that the crime against their loved one will not go unsolved.” Also, child sex offenders will face more stringent sentencing penalties, under Colorado’s first-ever version of “Jessica’s Law.” The law — based on a national initiative that is named after a Florida girl who was murdered by a sex offender — imposes a mandatory minimum sentencing structure that includes up to life in prison for those who commit violent sexual assaults against children. Prior to the new law, the most severe sentence a court could hand out was 24 years behind bars. Also taking effect on July 1 was the state’s annual budget. The budget commits $188 million to flood and wildfire recovery efforts; provides more than $100 million in funding for students attending state colleges and universities; and increases the state’s emergency “rainy day” fund by $130 million.

Lawsuit tackles K-12 negative factor Education advocacy group says funding mechanism is unconstitutional By Vic Vela

vvela@colorado communitymedia.com A lawsuit alleges that a mechanism that has been used by the state to slash education funding by about $1 billion is unconstitutional — the latest development in an ongoing battle over how K-12 dollars are appropriated. The lawsuit, which was filed in Denver District Court on June 27, argues that the state’s use of the so-called “negative factor” to control education funding violates constitutional language that was put in place by voters through Amendment 23. The 2000 provision requires that annual education funding increase by the rate of inflation and enrollment growth. But in 2010, on the heels of a recession, state lawmakers created the negative factor in response to budget realities facing the state. Those who support the use of the negative factor say it’s important to fund education at high levels, but that the requirements of Amendment 23 are burdensome and can impact budgets for other areas of state spending. But the lawsuit claims that had the Legislature not created the negative factor, K-12 funding would have been restored to 1988 levels by now — which was the

primary goal of Amendment 23. “The... negative factor and resulting funding restrictions are causing irreparable harm to students, districts and educational organizations across our state,” the lawsuit reads. Plaintiffs point out that since the adoption of the negative factor, per-pupil funding has “dramatically” decreased and hasn’t come close to the funding levels that voters approved in 2000. The Legislature did backfill $110 million in education funding this year, in an effort to bring down the negative factor. And lawmakers passed two major school funding measures that allow K-12 financing to grow by nearly $500 million. The legal team behind the lawsuit includes Kathleen Gebhardt of Children’s Voices, an education advocacy group. Gebhardt was the lead attorney in the recent Lobato v. State of Colorado lawsuit that claimed that Colorado was failing to adequately fund or properly disperse funding to school districts in the state. The Lobato lawsuit ended in 2013, when the state Supreme Court ruled that the state’s educational funding system was constitutional. The plaintiffs consist of school districts that include the Boulder Valley School District and Colorado Springs School District No. 11. Other educational organizations and a group of parents are also listed as plaintiffs. The state of Colorado,

englewood crime reporT Stolen car recovered, suspect arrested

The owner of a stolen car called police at approximately 6 p.m. July 7 to inform them he found his vehicle parked on the 4000 block of South Windermere Street. Officers arrived on scene and met with the 40-year-old owner of the vehicle. After the owner informed the officers that he was waiting for a tow truck to take the vehicle back to his house, the officers left to investigate a priority call. They returned to the scene after the owner called again, however, when he witnessed a stranger get into the car and unsuccessfully try to start it. When officers arrived, the 42-year-old male stranger was taking items out of the rear of the car. He told the officers that he was just retrieving his tools. The officers then arrested him on suspicion of theft and took him to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Detention Facility where could face a variety of felony charges.

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Birth rates among Colorado teenagers have dropped by 40 percent over the last five years, a result of a state initiative that aims to help young women avoid unwanted pregnancies, state officials announced last week. “That is not a small drop, that is a very significant drop,” said Dr. Larry Wolk, the state’s chief medical officer, during a July 3 Capitol press conference. Reducing teenage birth rates is a goal of the 2008-launched Colorado Family Initiative, a program that has provided more than 30,000 intrauterine devices at little or no cost for low-income women. As a result, Colorado moved from the 29th lowest birth rate in the country in 2008 to the 19th lowest in 2012. The birth rate drop has saved the state more than $40 million in public funds.

That’s due to a 23 percent caseload reduction for the state’s Women, Infants and Children program, which provides nutrition education and support for low-income women and their children, according to statistics provided by Gov. John Hickenlooper’s office. Teen abortion rates have also fallen. The state saw a 35 percent drop in that number from 2009 through 2012 in counties that are served by the initiative. Wolk and Hickenlooper said that unwanted pregnancies among teenagers can have serious health and psychological impacts on women and their children. Mothers who are involved in unwanted pregnancies are at a higher risk of being physically abused and the pregnancies can sometimes lead to abortions. Children born as a result of unwanted pregnancies can sometimes experience child abuse, neglect and a range of mental health issues, officials said. “We see that waiting until the mother is in the right place at the right time and ready to have children really creates a better situation for everyone concerned,” Hickenlooper said.

man had accused her of stealing a gun the night before. The suspect then reportedly pointed a gun at her and threatened to kill her. The woman said she was afraid she would be killed and ran to a neighbor’s house yelling for help. While the officers were talking to the victim, the suspect ran out of the back door of the house and down the alley. He was caught and arrested. The officers also found a weapon, which reportedly had been used to assault the victim. He could face a number of charges including felony menacing.

RTD anniversary

The Regional Transportation District celebrated its 40th anniversary on July 1. Colorado’s General Assembly established RTD to develop and operate a mass transit system for the metropolitan area, and in 1973, voters approved a sales tax increase to provide funds for the district. Over the next few years, RTD acquired several independent bus lines to create a unified public transportation agency. RTD now provides bus and light rail

transportation to the metropolitan area. Denver Union Station has been transformed into a transportation hub for bus and light rail lines plus additional light rail lines are planned or under construction including a line from Union Station to Denver International Airport.

ACC nets child-care grant

Arapahoe Community College has received a $15,000 grant from The Denver Foundation, designated for childcare stipends for low-income students. “Arapahoe Community College is very thankful for this grant, and we extend our most sincere gratitude to The Denver Foundation and its board of trustees for their consideration and generosity,” said ACC Foundation Executive Director Courtney Loehfelm. “As the enrollment at ACC continues to grow, so does the need for quality childcare. This grant will help keep childcare expenses at a minimum for our student parents as they focus on pursuing their education and career goals.”

Dr. Oz is no wizard, but you are If you read this column today, I guarantee that you will lose at least five pounds. Half of all of the programs on television are about eating, half are about dieting and the other half are talk shows, like Dr. Oz’s. Dr. Oz went to Washington in mid-June and he was grilled by senators who were displeased with his miracle weight-loss claims. One senator said, “I don’t know why you need to say this stuff when you know it’s not true.” Money, honey. Dr. Oz (real name Mehmet Cengiz Oz) is highly respected, but not, it turns out, by everyone. He sounds fine and convincing. Kind of like an evangelist. I don’t trust evangelists, do you? I see thousands in the audience, and my imagination turns them all into sheep, and each one of them is holding up

a Visa card. The Food Network shows you exactly how to pig out: It’s now showing reruns of “Man v. Food,” because the host quit. Good for him. Adam Richman, a glutton from Brooklyn, ate appalling amounts of food in restaurants. He gained a lot of weight and became depressed. I’ve always wondered how the program

That’s no problem, that’s an opportunity If you are like me, you have probably been faced with situations or people in your life that could be considered difficult at best, and yes, maybe even a challenge. Situations or events in our lives that could be considered difficult or challenging could range anywhere from health crises, loss of loved ones, unemployment, rebellious children, addiction, expensive auto repairs, household bills, and many other things. People in our lives who seem to test us on a regular basis, if not every single day, include gossips, conceited ego-driven folks, people who seem to bring drama with them anywhere and everywhere they go, and those who are stubborn, narrow-minded, or hypocritical. I mean, we are surrounded by challenges and challenging people all the time as we try and navigate our lives at work, school, or at home. Or are we? I think that in some cases we are not surrounded by them accidentally. I think we choose to surround ourselves with people who bring the drama and conflicts. We make a conscious decision to stay associated with people in our lives for any number of reasons. They could be family, they just might be someone we have known all of our lives and we accept them and love them for who they are, or we just love the tension or excitement that they bring to every event or meeting. In many of the challenging or difficult situations as mentioned above like a health crisis, unemployment, or loss of a loved one, I believe there are people who

rise to the occasion and cope as best as they possibly can. I am so encouraged by the emails I receive every day from people who share their hearts and positive attitude as they struggle with things out of their control. You all amaze me and I am proud of you. In tragic and dark situations there is no doubt that we all experience feelings of sadness. Yet I am always astounded when goodness surfaces in the times of trouble. I love the stories of people who have lost a loved one and then find an opportunity to volunteer in an area that was meaningful to the person they lost. And the stories of the unemployed who take the opportunity to develop new skills or learn a new trade, maybe even finally pursue a career that they have a passion for instead of what they settled for. And the news of a family facing a health crisis or addiction problem behind closed doors who seek and find the opportunity to rally together to support one another physically, emotionally and spiritually, further unifying or reuniting the family. And as far as the company we keep Norton continues on Page 9

goes over in Haiti, Burundi and Angola. Since quitting, Richman has lost 60 pounds. If you are overweight and you want to lose weight, you might listen to almost anyone say almost anything. Oscar Wilde said, “Everything in moderation, including moderation.” I wish I could do it, but I can’t. I do everything obsessively, even this column. I write one, two, three columns every day. The paper prints one a week. I have two large art exhibitions coming up months from now. I have been nearly finished for months. I think artists are supposed to be up all night the night before an exhibition. Obesity in America is in the news every day. But, like I said, half of the shows on Marshall continues on Page 9

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR This time it is different?

When the crash of 2008 loomed over us and another depression was threatening many, if not most people, thought that it wasn’t like the Great Depression, that this time things were different and it couldn’t happen again. Such is the understanding of the human mind that most do not grasp the concept of cause and effect. Littleton’s city set up an Urban Renewal Authority back in 1983 and used imminent domain to take property to increase economic development. They issued a TIF (tax incremental financing) to invest city money in a project known as River Front — which lost $17 million for the bondholders, $22 million for the developer and $12 million for the city. Now that same property is considered blighted so that the same process can be done on the same property again… this time it is different. This time it will work? Betty Harris Littleton

Great clarity in story

I feel compelled to write to commend Vic Vela on his article “Judge upholds state’s gun laws” in last week’s paper. His point-counterpoint-ruling format provided great clarity on the issue and ruling. Too often proposed legislation is written with so much complexity — with double and triple negatives — that an individual is hardpressed to recognize our own position on it. The resulting chaos can hardly be considered an adequately representative vote. I also want to note that Weld County Sheriff John Cooke deserves to be immediately relieved of office for his intention to perform his duties based on his political agenda rather than on the basis of law.

Immigration deadlock is political failure In the current combative, partisan environment in Washington, compromise and cooperation are rare occurrences. That is even more evident following House Speaker John Boehner’s recent announcement that the House of Representatives will not act on immigration reform this year. On June 27, 2013, more than a year ago, the Senate passed a bipartisan bill to fix our broken immigration system. We wrote the bill as a part of the Group of 8, which included Republican Sens. Marco Rubio, John McCain, Jeff Flake, and Lindsey Graham. It also included Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin and Robert Menendez. The bill passed the Senate with nearly 70 votes. We put politics aside in order to produce this commonsense bill. It has the support of countless organizations — from the Chamber of Commerce to the labor unions, from migrant workers to farmers and ranchers, from law enforcement agencies to the faith community, and Latino leaders. The bill would strengthen our economy, secure our borders, reform guest worker programs, establish a rational system for the future flow of immigrants, and provide a tough but fair path to citizenship for the

millions of people living in the shadows. Specifically, the border security provisions include unprecedented measures to double the number of border agents, complete 700 miles of fencing, and utilize new technology to provide 100 percent surveillance. The new guest-worker program would increase the number of visas for workers specializing in high-tech industries and streamline the H-2A visa system for agriculture workers. According to a report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, it would also decrease the deficit by $197 billion in the first 10 years and by $700 billion over the following decade. It would increase the nation’s GDP by 3.3 percent by 2023 and by up to 5.7 percent by 2033.

Perhaps most importantly, this bill was largely crafted with the help of Coloradans from every region, industry, and background. We spoke with farmers on the Western Slope and Eastern Plains who are forced to watch their crops wither and die on the vine because they can’t hire the workers they need to harvest them. We met with the members of the state’s ski resorts and tourist industries who are struggling with an unworkable visa system for seasonal workers. The state’s rapidly growing reputation as a hub for high-tech innovation is continuously threatened as we watch our best and brightest — educated in our schools — sent back to their native countries to compete against us. We have also heard from thousands of young DREAMers, many of whom were brought here without their knowledge and know no other country but the United States. The success of the Group of 8 is proof that compromise and cooperation are possible — even for this Congress. Unfortunately, the House of Representatives does not seem to understand the critical need to fix our broken immigration system. The House’s refusal to act has already cost us $13 billion in revenue the bill would have brought. And

we will continue losing another $37 million more every day. The House’s decision also costs us jobs. The Invest Visa alone would create 75,000 jobs per year. With every day that goes by another harvest season passes, another family is torn apart, another talented student returns to their native country, and another opportunity is lost to fix our broken immigration system. Our country was founded on the quintessential American values of selfdetermination and independence, and there is literally no other country in the world for which immigration is so central — to its history and its heritage. The bill we passed more than a year ago in the Senate bears witness to this shared identity. It is encouraging that the president announced his intention to take action within his power to fix our broken system, but without comprehensive legislation from Congress we cannot move our nation forward. Unfortunately, it seems the House of Representatives is refusing to move away from partisan extremes to join our effort. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

The meals are scrumptious and you will lose weight while you are eating them. How is that possible? I think you are supposed to have one for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for dinner.

“We are very thrilled to be opening in the Highlands Ranch area,” said Randall Hoppe, company spokesman. K1 got off the starting line in Carlsbad, Calif., in 2003, driven by David and Susan Danglard. Real racecar driver Boris Said climbed on board later as a co-owner. He’s been racing professionally for more than 20 years, competing across North America and Europe in a variety of classes and cars. “Our nationwide indoor karting facilities are designed to provide our customers with an authentic racing experience, and the fact that our tracks carry his seal of approval is an example of our commitment to this goal,” reads the company website. The Highlands Ranch site will be the company’s 23rd and will employ about 25 people. There’s big news at The Track at Centennial, as well. Jim Keesling, owner and avid kart racer, announced in the spring that he’s partnering with the owners of

ing, corporate karting and team building with a firstclass indoor karting entertainment facility at the same location in an urban setting.” The Track, in its eighth year, has held events for the top-kart racing series in the country, The Rotax Max Challenge. Locally, The Track coproduced two specials with

Altitude Sports and Entertainment that were shown on the cable network, both of which won Telly awards for “Outstanding Live” and “Outstanding Sports” presentations in 2007. According to Keesling, indoor karting is very popular in Europe with an estimated 600 facilities, and is an emerging market here in the United States.

Calendar of Events Denver Beer Co. to Expand with Assistance from a complete calendar of South Metro Denver Regis University and South Metro Denver Chamber For Chamber events and for more information, The popular Denver Beer Co.’s founders Patrick Crawford and Charlie Berger met in college. They both were interested in beer. While not unusual for college students, their interest was in brewing. After graduation, Berger became a brewmaster and opened a small business. Crawford, a satellite engineer at Lockheed Martin, continued brewing beer as a hobby and often called his longtime friend for tips and advice on improving his homemade brew. Three years ago the two men opened the Denver Beer Co., a South Metro Denver Chamber member company. Recently the great success of the brewery in the Highlands led Crawford and Berger to seek an expansion opportunity. In order to explore the possibility of bottling and distributing their beer throughout Colorado, Crawford and Berger reached out to the South Metro Denver Chamber for assistance. The Denver Beer Co. was selected to

participate in a special Regis University Master of Business Administration (MBA) School of Management course titled “The South Metro Denver Chamber Project.” The course was designed to allow an MBA class to work with a business selected by the South Metro Chamber. Businesses chosen are in the process of change, growth and/or expansion. The students, under the direction of Dr. Mike Fisher, a professor in the MBA program, focus on strategic planning and solutions for the company. Students complete in-depth analysis on the company’s issue and present multiple scenarios that examine human resources, financial projections, and marketing. In the case of the Denver Beer Co., the students examined the company’s ability to expand production and distribute their product throughout Colorado. Although the conclusion of the report is proprietary, Crawford commented, “We are pleased with the conclusions and the level of

professionalism, commitment and dedication the students and their mentors displayed throughout the project.” Businesses interested in participating in this project offered by Regis University through the South Metro Denver Chamber should contact Brian Bartony, Senior Business Development Manager, South Metro Denver Chamber at 303 795 0142 ext. 114.

Lawmakers urge removal of gay-marriage roadblocks

A group of gay state lawmakers on July 3 called on Colorado officials to “concede” that the state’s ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional and to avoid putting up any more legal barriers that delay “inevitable” same-sex nuptials. That urging — and the state Attorney General’s decision that same day to take legal action against a county clerk who has been issuing “invalid” gay marriage licenses — capped a flurry of activity surrounding gay-marriage court battles from last week, an issue that is expected to become even more eventful in the coming weeks. The lawmakers, all Democrats, held a Capitol press conference to urge Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper and Republican Attorney General John Suthers to essentially get out of the way of legal battles over same-sex marriage that are consistently being won across the country by supporters of marriage equality. “It’s about to happen and now we’re seeing the end game,” said state Sen. Pat Steadman, DDenver, who added that it is “inevitable” that same-sex marriage will become legal in Colorado, as it has in several other states. The most recent victory for gay marriage supporters was a 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in Denver last week that Utah could not prevent gays from getting married there. The appeals court stayed its ruling until the U.S. Supreme Court takes up the issue. And since the 10th circuit court includes the state of Colorado, it means that the state’s ban on gay

State Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, speaks to reporters about recent developments in court cases involving gay marriage on July 3 at the capitol. Steadman was joined by fellow Democratic gay lawmakers, including, left, House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, of Denver, and right, Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, of Commerce City. Photo by Vic Vela courts have ruled on the side of gay marriage supporters. So, Suthers does not see the point in continuing to drag the issue through the lower court process and using tax dollars to fight against something that is going to be decided by the highest court in the land anyway. “The motion we filed yesterday seeks to create a cease fire in the battles over same-sex marriage in Colorado,” Suthers said. “We created a path forward to efficiently and decisively resolve several ongoing legal proceedings,” Steadman commended Suthers and Hickenlooper for filing the injunction. But he and other gay lawmakers would rath-

er see the injunction filed without a stay. “I think we will find that the sun will still rise in the east the next day; life will go on unchanged,” Steadman said. “The only thing that will be different is that all families will have equal opportunity to protect themselves and their property and their children, just like everybody else.” Hickenlooper, who supports gay marriage, acknowledged to reporters later that same day that “there’s a great deal of frustration out there” on the part of same-sex couples who are seeking to marry. However, the governor said that the court system has a process that needs to be followed.

“I’m not a lawyer, but as I understand the court of law, when the Court of Appeals issues a stay for their own decision to be judged by a higher court, legally you don’t have that right to go around it,” he said. But Steadman said that while the issue remains up in the air, some couples might be running out of time to see their dreams of marriage become a reality. Steadman’s own partner died of cancer prior to Colorado’s legalization of civil unions last year — a law that Steadman was instrumental in creating. “I can speak from personal experience,” Steadman said. “Not everyone can afford to wait.”

marriage — which was supported by Colorado voters in 2006 — will remain in place, pending a Supreme Court decision. However, that did not stop Boulder County Clerk Hillary Hall from issuing same-sex marriage licenses almost immediately after the court’s decision. And Boulder County has continued to issue those licenses in spite of threats of legal intervention on the part of the Attorney General’s office. Those threats culminated in a lawsuit that was filed by the AG’s Office on July 3, which calls on Hall to stop issuing “invalid” marriage licenses. “Regretfully, our office was forced to take action against Boulder County Clerk Hillary Hall due to her refusal to follow state law,” Suthers said through an emailed statement. “While we would prefer not to sue a government official, Ms. Hall’s actions are creating a legal limbo for both the state and the couples whose relationships she wants to champion. That limbo could have tangible and unintended consequences.” A hearing was expected to be held in a Boulder courtroom on July 9. Further showing that this issue moved at lighting-like speed last week, Suthers’ decision to sue Boulder County came just one day after Suthers and Hickenlooper asked a federal court to issue an injunction declaring the state’s gay marriage ban to be unconstitutional. That move deals with a lawsuit that was filed by six couples in a Denver federal district court who are seeking to overturn the state’s gay marriage ban. However, they are asking for that injunction to be stayed, pending a Supreme Court outcome. The move suspends all trial court litigation on the matter. Suthers is not a supporter of gay marriage. But he sees the reality before him — that all lower

Beauprez stands by ‘47 percent’ comments Old video surfaces as governor candidate touts running mate, party unity By Vic Vela

vvela @coloradocommunitymedia.com On a week when the Bob Beauprez campaign was buoyed by a poll that showed him in a 44 percent tie with Gov. John Hickenlooper, it was instead a different number that stirred a media buzz. Hours into a statewide Republican “unity tour” on July 2 — where Beauprez traveled with former GOP rivals and his newly pegged gubernatorial running mate — Beauprez’s campaign ended up having to deal with the resurfacing of old comments. A 2010 video obtained by the Denver Post shows Beauprez making comments to the Denver Rotary Club that were reminiscent of those made by former presidential candidate Mitt Romney in 2012 - ones that ended up derailing the Romney campaign. “I see something that frankly doesn’t surprise me, having been on the Ways and Means Committee: Forty-seven percent of all Americans pay no federal income tax,” Beauprez said. “I’m guessing that most of you in this room are not in that 47 percent — God bless you — but what that tells me is that we’ve got almost half the population perfectly happy that somebody else is paying the bill, and most of that half is you all.” Beauprez said “there is a political strategy” on the part of Democrats to keep a large number of people dependent on the government because it helps their party create a “permanent ruling majority.” Democrats pounced on Beauprez’s comments. “When he was catering to his Tea Party base to win a primary, he warned of an impending ‘civil war’ and attacked 47 percent of Americans, including veterans and seniors, as lazy,” said Jennifer Koch, executive director for the Colorado Democratic Party, through an emailed statement. “Now he is trying sell his ‘Unity Tour’ across our state.” But the Beauprez campaign stood by the comments. Campaign manager Dustin Olson said in an emailed statement that Beauprez was making the point that “it’s sad more people are not doing well enough to pay federal income tax.” Beauprez does refer to income tax in his comments, which is a more accurate assessment than the one Romney made when he was speaking to Republican donors in 2010. Romney said that 47 percent of the country would end up voting for President Barack Obama “no matter what” because they are “dependent on the government.” Still, Beauprez’s and Romney’s comments have a similar tone. Romney said that 47 percent of the country considers themselves victims and feel they are “entitled” to government benefits. Beauprez

the event and one of the key volunteer agencies is the Arapahoe County Rescue Patrol. The young men and women with the patrol are stationed at key locations to perform duties such as escorting pedestrians across busy Belleview Avenue or directing traffic into the parking areas. Davis Connors is a captain with the patrol.

Depot Continued from Page 1

Englewood’s train depot was built in the early 1900s and sat along the tracks near what is now the intersection of Hampden Avenue and Santa Fe Drive. It served the city and surrounding communities but, as rail freight and passenger travel declined in the 1950s, it was closed. Residents rallied to save the depot when it was scheduled for demolition by the developer of what is now the Sports Authority site. Eventually the building was moved to

said that many people are “happy” to let the wealthy class take care of them. Olson said the attack over Beauprez’s comments from four years ago is a futile effort on the part of Democrats to distract them from recent news in the race. “Clearly Hickenlooper and his radical liberal allies are desperate following the recent Rasmussen poll showing Bob Beauprez tied with John Hickenlooper,” Olson said. The poll, which was conducted in the days after Beauprez won the Republican primary, shows Beauprez tied with Hickenlooper, with both men garnering 44 of support from respondents. Eight percent said they were undecided, while 4 percent said they preferred another candidate. Rasmussen is considered a Republicanfriendly polling firm. As for Hickenlooper, he told reporters after an unrelated Capitol press conference on July 3 that he had not seen the Beauprez video. “I just haven’t had time....” Hickenlooper said. “I keep intending to get to seeing that video and understanding it, but as you guys all know there’s a bunch of other stuff (to deal with). You tell me what I should be spending my time on?”

Beauprez touts party unity

The comments surfaced the day Beauprez rallied Republican support on a statewide “unity tour.” The tour featured several prominent Republicans, including his former rivals in the GOP gubernatorial primary — former Congressman Tom Tancredo, Secretary of State Scott Gessler and former state Senate Minority Leader Mike Kopp. All three men attended a Lakewood stop, where they conveyed the importance of winning Jefferson County — a swing county that is sure to be a key battleground in the fall. “It’s a swinging county in a swinging state,” Gessler told the crowd that was huddled inside a Jefferson County Republican campaign office. “The way Jefferson County goes will be the way Colorado goes in November. He will win if you all deliver Jefferson County.” Beauprez also introduced lieutenant governor candidate Jill Repella as his running mate. The Douglas County commissioner and Colorado native touted her county for having one of the fastest job-growth rates in the country. She also said the Democraticmajority Legislature “has run amok” by creating laws that hurt local communities — Repella provided no specifics behind that claim. “I always thought of Colorado as a place where you can breathe freely,” she said. “I feel suffocated now. I fell suffocated because of the things that are being pushed down on us in our communities.” Beauprez made comments that were similar to those he has been making throughout the campaign — ones that try to paint Hickenlooper as a failed leader who believes that more government is the

“This is my fifth year with the organization,” the recent Heritage High School graduate said. “I joined because I am interested in working with emergency service personnel like firefighters and police officers.” He said he likes being part of the rescue patrol and it is fun to take part in events like the July 4 celebration. “I will be going to Montana State University this fall,” he said. “I plan to major in criminal justice and I feel my volunteer work with the patrol will help me with my studies as I seek to prepare for a career in law enforcement.”

its present location at Dartmouth Avenue and Galapago Street. There was an initial effort to restore it and make it a community museum, but that failed. The city took possession of the building. There was some restoration work done to prevent further deterioration of the building but the depot remained empty and unattended. In 2013, the council made the decision to seek a buyer and sent out a request for proposal to restore the building and put it to use. There were two proposals and, in August 2013, the city council voted 5-2 to sell the depot to Tom Parson. Parson promised to historically restore the depot and also to create a letterpress museum in the building.

Museum director Tim Nimz and staff developed a related yearlong, detailed exhibit that includes the temporary transformation of the 1893 Bemis farmhouse to a circa 1940 home, with interpreters dressed in 1940s style. Since the AP photographs, displayed around the gallery’s edges, cannot stay for the entire duration of the exhibit, others will be substituted — plus posters. The highly detailed exhibit will need more than one visit to absorb it, in any case. Central/rear in the gallery is a video, edited by exhibit director Bill Hastings, that presents “World War II in 14 minutes,” he joked.

Red Cross uniforms and equipment, as well as recruiting posters are featured items in the exhibit.

if you go “Littleton Goes to War” is open through July 5, 2015, at the Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., Littleton. Admission is free. Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays; 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays. 303-795-3950. Watching it before touring the exhibit gives structure to the collection of artifacts and brings up familiar faces and voices: Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Winston Churchill, Dwight Eisenhower, Adolf Hitler and more. (Hastings noted that he did not edit Churchill’s speech, because he considers it among the greatest ever.) The museum looked to its own collection, and requested help from local sources such as the Holmes family, who owned American Coleman Motors and manufactured heavy equipment for the war effort. (The Libby Bortz Assisted Living Center now occupies the site.) The staff borrowed materials from the15th Division Museum in Colorado Springs, the World War II Museum in New Orleans, Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum and more. A display case to the right of the video includes uniforms, guns and other artifacts, including a telegram to (late Littleton activist and mayor) Frances Vaughn Gardinier at 360 Ash St., Littleton, ordering him to report to the Navy Recruiting Station at 8 a.m. Monday, Nov. 20, 1944. He returned to serve his hometown for many years. Several exhibits honor women who served in various capacities: WACS, WAVES, SPARS and Red Cross nurses — as well as Army and Navy nurses. Local names are inserted in small artifacts. A central case honors Rosie the Riveter, a generic symbol for women who took manufacturing jobs at factories large and small, including Littleton’s Heckethorn Manufacturing and American Coleman Motors. Throughout are smaller items that give a personal flavor to the beautifully installed exhibit: a blocky wooden radio summons up the image of a family gathered around it after dinner — perhaps on Dec. 7, 1941, when the Japanese bombed the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor. We hear Roosevelt declare that it is “a day which will live in infamy.” Or it might be a firm instruction to “get out there and grow

your own Victory Garden.” (For help on how to do so, write to: Victory Garden, Washington, D.C.) Behind the radio, a panel holds a Littleton Honor Roll and copies of the Littleton Independent reporting on local service men and women and home-front activities. Hometown heroes with special mention are Tom Heaton in the European Theater and

William Howarth, DVM, in China-BurmaIndia, where his skills as a veterinarian were called upon. An additional segment of the “Littleton Goes to War” exhibit is the one-year conversion of the 1893 Bemis farmhouse to a 1940s home. It was not ready for viewing when we visited on July 2 and will be the subject of a future story.

way, will include food, music, dancing and hands-on activities as well as a chance to recognize how Colorado’s past has shaped today. “No other organization can help Coloradans understand the present in the context of the past the way we can,” said Kathryn Hill, History Colorado chief operations officer. “We celebrate Colorado’s places, stories and cultures every day, and this is evident the minute you enter our museums. On Colorado Day, we offer even more for visitors of all ages to spark imaginations and stimulate conversations about our state’s issues and future.” Beginning at 8 a.m. Aug. 1, History Colorado and its partners, the Department of Agriculture, the Colorado Department of Military and Veterans Affairs and Visitor Services will meet on the west steps of the state Capitol to honor the occasion. The Capitol will be decorated for the event, and will feature square dancing, Colorado candy and birthday cake, living history presentations and other special programs, followed by a procession from the Capitol to History Colorado. Colorado Proud will hold a press conference at the History Colorado Center immediately afterward to recognize Aug. 1 as Colorado Day and to launch the Colorado Proud Choose Colorado Tour — a monthlong, statewide road trip to celebrate food and agricultural products that are grown in Colorado. The Choose Colorado Tour, scheduled from Aug. 1 through 27, integrates 10 agricultural communities, celebrates farmers who help our state thrive, and educates and influences consumers along the journey.

“While Amy’s random act of kindness was done purely from the goodness of her heart, word quickly spread of her good deed after Jemele Hill, host of ESPN’s `Numbers Never Lie,’ saw it all go down and took to Twitter to share the touching moment,” according to a story in InTouch magazine. “Just saw actress Amy Adams do something incredibly classy. She gave her 1st class seat to an American soldier. I’m an even bigger fan now,” Hill tweeted. “Once we boarded, I saw she was in first class. I was upgraded to first class and she was a couple of rows behind me. I think she must have said something to the flight attendant, because before we took off she had vacated her seat and the flight attendant brought the

ists whom curator Maruca Salazar calls “the west side warriors.” She and co-curator Gwen Chanzit turned to poetry for an unusual curator’s statement — and the seven varied artists’ statements also take a poetic turn. Allow time to read them. The curatorial statement says: “My plate is full! ... And I have devoured my place / in this world. / I smell the poison vapors of the can and am / Protected by smoking mirrors, I find cold alleys / phantom shadows and the other side of the tracks. / The cracks in the street of my neighborhood / reflect ancient peaks to the west of my heart. / Can I be swallowed by the streets and become / invisible? / I call the West Side warriors to protect the hollow ground. / But … for now I can only paint the emotions, / dreams and hopes of the voices on the walls. / To the graffiti artists of Outside In 303 / Be Brave.” This group of seven local artists, born and raised on Denver’s west side, “who typically use the environment as their canvas, face the challenges and constraints of being placed in the `white box’ walls of a museum,” Salazar said. They are: Jack Avila, Javier Fidelis Flores, “Kans 89,” Mario Zoots, Josiah Lopez, Victoriano Rivera and Gabriel Salazar. In addition to his wall art — strong blackand-white drawings of street people on carefully arranged slabs of paper — Josiah Lopez has created a short video piece called “Enter, Escape, Viajar.” It includes transportation images, both realistic and abstracted, constant motion and an accompanying soundtrack of Denver’s urban noise. He also is responsible for a wall of patterned folk images and the mini-tagger figure standing at the edge of it, contemplating. “Kans 89” told museum staff that she has a long connection with the Museo — she remembers coming there as a 6-year-old. Her body of work, “Broken Peace’s,” speaks to her playful exploration of individual identity, including music, cartoons, graffiti art and color — some images deconstructed. She uses traditional materials and those of the graffiti artist, hoping for a dialogue between artist and viewer wherever her art is located. Jack Avila writes of his youthful fascination with graffiti: “… notices and claims of who’s been there and who stays there by inner city youth; as common as it was, always fascinated me from an early age. Like a secret language posted in public, so foreign to most it was visually discounted as garbage.… This living bulletin, virtual barometer of the streets, of all its hazards and gems, still speaks to me today….”

Cartoon-inspired, but edgy, this painting was done by artist “Kans 89.” She recalls visiting the Museo de las Americas as a 6-year-old. His unmounted canvas, secured through grommets like a banner, is a large, powerful yellow and black graffiti/painting suggesting deconstructed machinery to this viewer. Beneath it, he displays his tools and as the wall progresses to the corner, there is a composition of found materials and the dictum: “Use your world.” “Outside In 303” offers a color-filled, sometimes gritty, image of Denver artists who deserve recognition as a vital part of our societal fabric. It will run until Sept. 21 and should be included in a visit to the active Denver Arts District — an area with lots of messages awaiting.

IF YOU GO “Outside In 303” is at the Museo de las Americas, 861 Santa Fe Drive, Denver, through Sept. 21. An artist panel on July 24 from 6 to 9 p.m. will discuss “Art vs. Vandalism.” Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays to Fridays; noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays.

Youth golf program ends with party

Volunteer David Warden helps Zoe Fortin get the right grip on the club so she can hit the target during the July 2 activities and barbecue wrapping up this year’s Hole-N-One Youth Golf Program. The educational clinic teaches the game of golf to kids between the ages of 5 and 15. Warden said this is the fifth year he has been a volunteer at the event and it is his way to give back to the community. Photos by Tom Munds

Hole-N-One wraps up with festivities, food By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The east end of Broken Tee at Englewood Golf Course resembled an amusement park on July 2, with games and inflatable attractions erected for the celebration wrapping up this year’s Hole-N-One Junior Golf Program. The Hole-N-One program is designed to teach golf fundamentals in five onehour group lessons for 5- to 15-year-olds. There is one program for 5- to 7-year-olds and a separate program for 8- to 15-yearolds. “This was a very good year,” said Bob Spada, golf course manager. “We had more than 400 boys and girls take part in the program this year. We feel the program went well for the kids and also for their parents. We offered inexpensive parent group lessons, with three lessons for $10. A lot of parents took part and complimented us on the program for the children as well as the parents’ lessons.” The July 2 event wrapped up the 13th year for the program. More than 800 people attended the program. Young golfers could hit balls or putt balls at targets for prizes. There were also a multitude of door prizes given away. Volunteers from Red Bird Farms staffed the grills, preparing food for the free lunch, and a short distance away, Meadow Gold was giving away ice cream. Special guests at the event included about half-dozen Broncos alumni; Rocky, the mascot of the Denver Nuggets; and the cow from Chick-fil-A. Littleton resident Shelly Behan brought her 5-year-old son Benjamin and her 6-year-old daughter Delilah to the celebration. “My kids just loved the program,” Shelly said. “My husband is an avid golfer and he takes the children out golfing about every weekend. The children had fun with the lessons and I had fun watching them.” Benjamin said he liked whacking the

His sister said she likes golf too but likes miniature golf better. A short distance away, Desiree Lenertz watched as her two sons and her 3-yearold daughter Avery hit balls on the driving range. “We just love this program,” Lenertz said. “This is the third year in the program for my boys, Logan, 9, and Jake, 7. You can see their golf skills improve each year.” She said she is a golfer and took advantage of the parents’ group lessons offered by the program. “Taking the parents’ lessons got me excited about golf again and got me excited about getting back out on the course,” she said. “My husband and I both play golf and we love this program because it is helping our children develop the golf skills so they can eventually join us when we play a round of golf.” This is the third year 7-year-old Carson Cronin has taken part in the Hole-N-One program. “I like the program,” the Englewood boy

I learn stuff about golf too. I can hit the ball farther now than I use to do. I like that.” His mother, Laura, said the family likes the youth golf program a lot. “The instructors are so friendly and

they try to make the lesson fun while they teach the kids about golf,” she said. “My husband and I both like to play golf and we have our kids in the program so we can become a family of golfers.”

Blind Repair Mike Berry works on assembling the motor on his pro stock motorcycle. Berry manufactures many of the parts for the motor and runs tests on the engine in his Englewood shop. He said he has been struggling to make his bike competitive, but hopes to be ready and qualify at the Mile High National Drag Races July 18-20 at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. Photo by Tom Munds

Racer readies for Mile Highs Mike Berry works to get pro stock bike ready for drag races By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Mike Berry continues working to translate good ideas into improved performance of the engine he’ll be riding in the pro stock motorcycle class at the Mile High National Drag Races July 18-20 at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. “We have been struggling all year,” the Englewood businessman said. “Oh, the bike is running but we just haven’t been able to put the (right) combination together to raise performance about 3 percent so we can place in the field.” A pro stock motorcycle uses a 160 cubic-inch racing engine mounted on a specialized frame and body that resembles a production bike. The motor produces more than 370 horsepower, launches the bike from a standing start and provides the power so that the bike reaches upward of 190 miles an hour in the less than 7 seconds it takes to reach the finish line a quarter mile away. Riders race side-by-side in a pro stock motorcycle drag race. A rider positions his bike, takes his place, revs his engine and when the green light goes on, the bike and driver launch off the starting line. The torque from the engine lifts the front tire off the ground for the first 60 or 70 feet of the quarter mile race. “You launch off the line in a hurry,” Berry said. “I guess you would compare it to sitting on the end of a gun barrel and catching the bullet as it is fired. It is a rush and I love it.” Berry, a Littleton resident, is an independent racer who, with help from a friend from Tulsa, John Hamock, tries to compete with teams with major sponsors. “At least one of the full-time teams has four motorcycles with sponsors that provide a budget of about $3 million a year,” he said. “We make a lot of our parts and do a lot of other things as we try to compete on our own dime.” The veteran racer said running at the Mile High Nationals is a challenge for all the teams entering the competition. “The altitude means there is less oxygen in the air,” he explained. “That means just about everything has to be developed just for this race. Even with all the adjustments, the altitude and thin air means a power loss of about 20 percent.” He said racing a pro stock bike has special challenges because it doesn’t have a supercharger or turbo to increase airflow to the engine. “We have a bike that will run at the Mile High Nationals,” Berry said. “There will probably be 20 or 25 bikes entered and only 16 qualify for the race. We don’t just want to qualify, we want to finish high in the final standings. That is why we are still making adjustments and changing parts to try to improve performance. We’ll keep working and hope we will have a bike that runs well at race time.” Berry grew up in Lakewood, lives in Littleton and started his business, MB Precision Machining, in Englewood about 25 years ago. “I love racing and, while we don’t have a lot of success, I stick with it,” he said. “In a way, racing is my advertising because it promotes my business. My business manufactures parts for my bike, others see my parts, want them, and become my customers.” He said he loves racing enough to want to do it full time. But, he also has a thriving business so it is a balancing act between running his business and racing. “I’ll admit I have given thought to putting my business on the back burner and racing full time,” Berry said. “But it is only a thought because I have a comfortable lifestyle I really like and full-time racing means all that would change dramatically. So, I just stick with racing part time and wishing I could get to more races.”

Best advice: Confront the issue. you could find the situation surprisingly easy to work through. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Resist being pressured into meeting your self-imposed deadline. This is important if you really feel that taking more time to finish a project could save time in the long run.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A vacation choice seems less interesting than when you first made it. Could it be a matter of the place or the people going with you? Find out before you consider a change of plans. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Someone might be overriding your leonine logic to get you to agree to “favors” you would normally avoid. Take a new look at what you’ve been asked to do and see if you’ve been misled. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Try to keep that emerging “judgmental” aspect in check this week. Too many critiques on relatively unimportant issues could create a lot of negative bounce-back reactions. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Facing unpleasant facts about an associate isn’t easy. But ignoring them isn’t wise. Ask a trusted (and neutral) friend to help guide you on what to do and how you might do it. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A shift in opinion regarding a workplace situation could go a long way in vindicating the stand you’ve taken. But be aware that a satisfactory resolution could still be a long way off. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) It’s not like you to choose the easy way rather than the right way to do things. So, follow your instincts and feel assured they will lead you to the right decision. Good luck. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Hold off on making a personal commitment until you find out what it really entails and whose interests are actually involved. There could be hidden facts you need to know. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A new friend offers an unexpected opportunity that could lead to a career change. Check it out carefully and consider getting an assessment from someone familiar with this field. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A surprising discovery leads to mixed reactions from those involved in the “revelation.” But as you come to appreciate the truth, you’ll be able to also come to terms with your feelings. BORN THIS WEEK: your love of travel helps you appreciate the wonders of the world. you would find a satisfying career in any travel-related industry. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Water Courts Public Notice DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO JUNE 2014 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are notified that the following is a resume of all water right applications and certain amendments filed in the Office of the Water Clerk during the month of JUNE 2014 for each County affected. 14CW3077 East Valley Metropolitan District, P. O. Box 3110, Parker, CO 80134. (c/o David C. Lindholm, Esq., P.O. Box 18903, Boulder, Colorado 80308-1903). APPLICATION FOR NONTRIBUTARY UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHT IN THE DENVER BASIN,

LARAMIE-FOX HILLS AQUIFER. IN ARAPAHOE COUNTY. 2. Background: A. Applicant provides municipal water service to a residential subdivision in Arapahoe County. Applicant seeks a decree adjudicating all of the non-tributary ground water in the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer of the Denver Basin underlying its boundaries. One well is proposed to be constructed into the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer. The depth of the well will be determined by surface topography and actual aquifer conditions. B. Description of Property Under which Nontributary Ground Water in the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer is being Claimed: The property consists of approximately 87 acres, more or less, in Arapahoe County, located in the W 1/2 of Section 19, Township 5 South, Range 66 West, 6th P.M., (referred to herein as the “subject property”) A map showing the location of the subject property is attached as Exhibit “A.” C. Parcel Ownership: Pursuant to a Resolution enacted by Applicant on August 31, 1985, as authorized by C.R.S. §37-90-137(8), Applicant has

the exclusive right to withdraw water from the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer and is authorized to complete this appropriation. A copy of the Resolution is attached as Exhibit “B.” 3. Source of Water: LaramieFox Hills Aquifer of the Denver Basin. 4. A. Date of Appropriation: Not applicable. B. Date Water Applied to Beneﬁcial Use: Not applicable. 5. Estimated Rate of Withdrawal and Volume of Available Ground Water: Rate of Withdrawal: 150 gallons per minute. The actual pumping rate will be dependent upon aquifer conditions and production capabilities from the well to be constructed. Average Annual Amount of Available Ground Water: Applicant requests an absolute water right for all of the legally available ground water underlying the subject property. Based on an estimated saturated thickness of the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer at this location of 209 feet, and a speciﬁc yield of 15 percent, the total volume of water estimated to be available is 2,727.5 acre feet, or an annual average withdrawal of 27.3 acre feet over the 100 year life of the Aquifer

as set forth in C.R.S. §37-90-137(4). Applicant requests that it be entitled to withdraw an amount of ground water in excess of the average amount decreed from the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer, so long as the sum of the total withdrawals from all wells it constructs in the Aquifer does not exceed the product of the number of years since the date of issuance of an original well permit or the date of entry of a decree herein, whichever comes first, multiplied by the average annual volume of water that Applicant is entitled to withdraw from under the subject property. Pursuant to . §37-92-305(11), the Court will be asked to retain jurisdiction over the decree for the purpose of making a final determination of the amount of water available from the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer based on the actual aquifer characteristics encountered upon drilling the well. 6. Proposed Uses: municipal, domestic, commercial, industrial, irrigation, augmentation, replacement, exchange and all other beneficial uses, including the right to use, reuse and successively use the water

to extinction. 7. Well Field: Applicant requests that it be permitted to produce the legal entitlement from the LaramieFox Hills aquifer underlying the subject property through any combination of wells, whether deemed to be additional, replacement or any other type of well, and that all such wells be treated as a well ﬁeld. 8. Name and Address of Owner of Land on which Well(s) will be Located: East Valley Metropolitan District, as described above. WHEREFORE, Applicant requests the entry of a decree approving this Application. (3 pages and two exhibits). THE WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED BY THESE APPLICATIONS MAY AFFECT IN PRIORITY ANY WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED OR HERETOFORE ADJUDICATED WITHIN THIS DIVISION AND OWNERS OF AFFECTED RIGHTS MUST APPEAR TO OBJECT WITHIN THE TIME PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR BE FOREVER BARRED.

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that any party who wishes to oppose an application, or an amended application, may file with the Water Clerk, P. O. Box 2038, Greeley, CO 80632, a verified Statement of Opposition, setting forth facts as to why the application should not be granted, or why it should be granted only in part or on certain conditions. Such Statement of Opposition must be filed by the last day of AUGUST 2014 (forms available on www. courts.state.co.us or in the Clerk’s office), and must be filed as an Original and include $158.00 filing fee. A copy of each Statement of Opposition must also be served upon the Applicant or Applicant’s Attorney and an affidavit or certificate of such service of mailing shall be filed with the Water Clerk.
