City requests rail-planning grant FasTracks funds eyed for bicycle, pedestrian bridges By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood has applied for a grant to take the next step after completing a yearlong study and development of the light rail corridor station area master plan. “We received a grant from the Denver Regional Council of Governments for the recently completed study,” Alan White, community development director, told the council at the July 8 study session. “Now, DRCOG has announced the availability of a new round of grants, called next step grants, that would allow Englewood to analyze in greater detail the feasibility of some of the key projects identified in the light rail station master plan for development around the Englewood and Oxford stations and the

proposed Bates station.” He said the application for a $200,000 grant will be submitted in late July and the grant awards are expected to be announced in September. White said, if approved, DRCOG will require a $40,000 city match, which is in the community development budget. White said the grant would be a great opportunity to take all the information in the station master plan to the next level and it would make it possible to evaluate the feasibility of some of the recommendations in the station area master plan. The community development director said if DRCOG approves Englewood’s next step grant request, the city could have a contract with a consultant approved by the end of the year. That would mean starting the next step study possibly in early 2014. Rail continues on Page 9

Council favors replacement of failing boilers, aging lift By Tom Munds

and, without refinancing the bonds, the 2014 debt payment will be about $290,000. “We are looking at the market to determine the best length of time for the refinancing and right now we looking at adding 10 years to the date the bonds will be paid off,” Gryglewicz said. “The refinancing will keep the annual debt payment the same as 2013, which means the course will have reserves to meet unexpected expenses.” The bonds are scheduled to be paid off in 2024. Refinancing will extend the date the bonds will be retired until 2034. He said plans are to have everything completed in time to close the deal in September. Council Member Rick Gillit asked if extending the life of the bonds will cost more in interest than is saved. Gryglewicz said the difference in annual payments will more than cover the additional interest paid over the life of the bonds. The city-owned golf course, now called Broken Tee at Englewood Golf Course, is located at 2101 W. Oxford Ave. in Sheridan. In 2006-08, play on the course was lim-

The Englewood City Council gave consensus approval at the July 8 study session to replace two boilers and the lift at the Englewood Recreation Center, although the money is not included in the 2013 budget. Mike Flaherty, deputy city manager, said no money is in the budget for these repairs, so the council will have to approve a supplemental appropriation of about $140,000 from the public improvement fund reserves to pay for the two projects. The approval of the funding for the two projects was scheduled to be on the city council’s July 15 agenda. The quick action is being taken so the two projects can be done during the rec center’s annual weeklong closure for maintenance in August. Dave Henderson, deputy public works director, brought the issues to the city council at the July 8 study session. “We have three boilers at the recreation center. One is working OK, one is working on and off and the other isn’t working at all,” Kahm said. “The recreation center uses hot water for the showers in the locker rooms, to keep the water warm in the pool and to heat the building in the winter. Right now, we have enough hot water to meet summer needs.” He added that should the second boiler fail, there will not be enough hot water for regular recreation center operation. Also, there has to be two fully operational boilers in order to produce enough hot water to heat the building when it gets cold. The estimated cost of replacing the aging equipment with two high-efficiency boilers is $110,000. The boiler that is still operating will be kept as a backup. All three boilers are original equipment installed in 1984. Henderson said the life expectancy for each of the boilers is 25 years. Regular maintenance and repairs have made it possible to extend the boilers an additional five years. Another issue is the lift that provides handicapped access to the second floor of the recreation center. There have been repeated calls to repair

Englewood could refinance golf course bonds Low interest rates would reduce payments, lifetime cost By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood City Council agreed by consensus vote July 1 to instruct staff to go forward with a proposal to refinance about $2.5 million in golf course revenue bonds to take advantage of lower interest rates and avoid a big jump in annual premiums in 2014. The initial ordinance setting limits for the amount of the bonds, the interest rate

and annual debt payment plus the maximum term for the bonds is scheduled to be considered on first reading by the city council on July 15. If it passes, the ordinance will be considered on second and final reading at the Aug. 5 meeting. The bonds were sold in 1994 to provide about $4 million to provide funds to rebuild the clubhouse, construct the new indoor teaching center and to rebuild the Par 3 course, and were refinanced in 2003. Frank Gryglewicz, finance director, presented the proposal to the Englewood City Council at the July 1 study session. He said the 2013 annual debt payment is $216,663

Englewood police tracked down and arrested a subject who reportedly kicked in the door to a woman’s room. The woman called police about 1:25 a.m. July 5 and, when officers arrived at the location in the 4500 block of South Broadway, the victim told officers a black male wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and a black skull cap had kicked in her room’s door. She said the suspect left the building and ran south on Broadway. Officers searched the area and found a man who matched the description. The victim identified the suspect as the trespasser. He was arrested and taken to the Arapahoe County jail, where he could face charges of first-degree criminal trespassing and criminal mischief.

An Englewood police officer stopped a man for questioning who was jaywalking across Broadway about midnight carrying a large miter saw. The investigation resulted in the 28-year-old being arrested for burglary. The police officer stopped the man just before midnight July 9 in the 3700 block of South Broadway. Reportedly, the 28-year-old told the officer he found the door of a nonprofit business in the 3900 block of South Broadway unlocked so he went in and took the large miter saw because, since the door was

unlocked, he considered it scavenging. A representative of the business said the man did not have permission to be in the business or to take the miter saw. The suspect was arrested and taken to the Arapahoe County jail, where he could face charges of second-degree burglary.

Woman arrested on warrant

Englewood police found and arrested a woman wanted on a felony warrant during investigation of a trespasser in the shed behind a building in the 2900 block of South Fox Street. Police were called about the trespassing about 4 p.m. July 11. Officers searched the property and found a 44-year-old woman hiding in the shed. The investigation indicates she had run from the scene of an accident at South Fox Street and West Dartmouth Avenue and was reportedly trying to hide from police in the shed. Officers found a backpack near the woman that contained two plastic bags containing suspected methamphetamine. The woman and the drugs were taken to the Englewood Police Station for processing. The Multi-Jurisdictional Arapahoe County Impact Team was called and came to the station to interview the female. The woman was taken to the Arapahoe County jail on the active felony warrant. However, the investigation is continuing and more charges could be filed against the suspect.

Apartments planned off Belleview

www.ColoradoRenaissance.com Information 303-688-6010

Representatives of The Villages of Belleview — the apartment complex proposed to replace the Columbine Square shopping center at Federal Boulevard and Belleview Avenue — started reaching out to neighbors July 9 and found themselves met with resistance. “You’re ruining our little town,” said Littleton resident Betty Harris, during the first of three informational meetings that week at Horizon Rocky Mountain Church. Harris is active with Citizens for Rational Development, a group that is actively opposing a plan to build apartments across the street from the Littleton Courthouse. “Change is tough on all of us. We’re all human,” countered Charlie Mallon, representing CMCB Enterprise Inc., the company that has owned the property on the southwest corner of Belleview and Federal for 24 years. Columbine Square was once home to All Stars Sports Bar and the Burger King-turned-Big Papa’s BBQ. Both are now vacant, as is about half of the 80,000 square feet of retail space at the site. The Horizon church and Littleton Preparatory Charter School both have plans to relocate from Columbine Square to more permanent quarters.

The school, which has been located in a former Safeway store, is building on the Norgren property at Delaware Street and Powers Avenue in Littleton’s northeast neighborhood. Mallon stressed that CMCB, owned by the family of 1990s tennis star Michael Chang, intends to retain ownership of the property as a legacy asset. The company wants to tear down the 15-acre shopping center and replace it with 346 apartment units housed in 20 three-story buildings. Planned amenities include a clubhouse, pool, selfservice bicycle repair station, walking path, fitness room, juice bar, tanning room and a business center for residents’ use. Despite that long list, Mallon makes no bones about the fact that these will be nice apartments, not luxury potential condominiums like the ones planned near the courthouse. There, 250 units are planned on 4.5 acres; rent will range from $1,050 to $3,000. The Villages of Belleview will rent for $800 to $1,250, said Mallon. “This is not going to look like Disneyland,” he said, explaining he’s striving to make the project complement the neighborhood. “This is not going to look like a five-star hotel when it opens up. That’s not how I do things.” One woman who didn’t want to be identified worried the low price would attract “riffraff” and urged the developer to upgrade the complex into a “hip” mixed-use project. “I don’t think anybody suggests you

maintain a ‘70s strip mall concept, but to get community support, you need a mix of retail and residential,” agreed John Watson, who is currently running for city council. Mallon said his original goal was to lure the remodeled King Soopers that was built across the street to the site, thus stealing it and its sales tax away from Englewood. Failing that, he tried to work with the owner of the U.S. Bank pad to incorporate some retail, but the bank has a 15-year lease the owner is unwilling to part with. “Long-term tenants went across the street, and that’s a fact,” he said. The Arapahoe County Elections Facility and O’Toole’s Garden Center are not part of the site, but Adele O’Toole is none too happy with CMCB’s plan. “It takes away four of our five access points, so it cripples us,” she said. The only one left will be on Federal, and she worries her customers will have difficulty navigating her often very busy front parking lot — not to mention her delivery trucks. Neighbors can have their say at two public hearings. Because the property will have to be rezoned from commercial to residential, the case will go before both the planning board and city council. Those aren’t yet scheduled, but Mallon said he hopes to have demolition completed by the end of the year. “We want to build it, lease it and keep the occupancy rate high,” he said.

High school getting softball field Pirates girls to have new diamond after 18 seasons of travel By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Heavy earthmoving equipment pushed dirt around July 10 as crews constructed the new Englewood High School softball field in the Hosanna Sports Complex. Softball coach Dave Chapman said he and the players are excited about the new field. “For 18 seasons, we have had to travel to practice and to our home games, which meant our equipment storage area and the girls locker room was at the high school so, if something wasn’t in my van, we didn’t have it,” he said. “Now, in our 19th season, we’ll have a home field at the high school. I think that will attract more attention to softball, maybe bring out some more players and possibly bring out some students to watch us play. I just think it’ll be great for the players and for our program.” David Henderson, school operations, maintenance and transportation director, said building a softball field near the high school has been talked about for several

Castle Rock

years and the planning finally got underway in late 2012. “The work is moving along on schedule and we are pushing to have the field completed by Aug. 15 so the Pirate girls softball team can practice on the new field and play their home games there,” he said. The field is being placed to the east of the baseball diamond. It will be like a mirror image of Wise Field, where the baseball backstop is at the north end of the field, while the softball backstop will be to the south end of that field. It will be a full-size softball field and the fences down the baselines will be 200 feet from home plate. Henderson said the field is being built using school district capital funds at a cost of $448,000. He stressed the softball field construction is not part of the $40 million voterapproved bond project that is building the new seventh- through 12th-grade campus on the Englewood High School site and remaking the middle school into the new Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School campus. In past years, the Pirates girls softball team practiced and played some games at Denny Miller Field. For the last few years, they have played home games on the Brent Mayne softball field near Centennial Park. It

Highlands Ranch

was a good field but not at the high school, so the new field is being built in part to comply with federal requirements for equal facilities for male and female sports teams. The land being used for the new softball field means there will be one less soccer field in the Hosanna Sports Complex.

“There will be one less soccer field in the complex,” Henderson agreed. “However, part of the bond project is establishing a practice field north of the high school stadium that will be probably be available to teams that used to play on the Hosanna field.”

opinions / yours and ours

With golf event, area’s cup runneth over One of the biggest sporting events you’ve probably never heard of will take place in the Denver metro area next month. The Solheim Cup will bring two dozen of the best players in women’s professional golf to Parker. We know. August in Colorado means the Broncos are back — and we’re excited about that, too. But the NFL’s regular season will still be weeks away during the Aug. 13-18 Solheim Cup. Take a timeout from the preseason, and turn your attention to the Colorado Golf Club. That might mean ordering tickets for the event. Or it might mean just watching on TV. Either way, the event is worthy of acknowledging, for a number of reasons: • The top international team competi-

our view tion in women’s golf, the Solheim Cup will feature 12 players from the United States playing against 12 from Europe. (Think Ryder Cup, for those of you familiar with men’s pro golf.) Even if you normally don’t follow the women’s game, or golf in general, we think you will be impressed by the quality of play. Sure, you’ll see some precision pitches and putts, but also, with Colorado’s elevation, you might be treated to some 300-yard drives.

• The event puts a spotlight on women’s athletics. If you have a young daughter interested in sports, these talented women could serve as an inspiration for what can be achieved. At the same time, it highlights good sportsmanship — we’re fairly certain you won’t see any violent temper tantrums or hear talk of performance-enhancing drugs. • The Solheim Cup will help elevate the Denver area’s status on the global stage. Nothing wrong with letting people across the world know there is more to Colorado than skiing, beer and the Broncos. • The event is expected to provide a boost for the area’s economy. The 2009 Solheim Cup, hosted by a course in a Chicago suburb, reportedly generated a $19.4 mil-

lion economic impact for the area. Officials here were told to expect a similar benefit. Hotels and restaurants in Denver, Douglas and Arapahoe counties should get a major boost. But we suspect that many visitors, who may be making their first trip to the Centennial State, will also venture west and take in the scenery — and patronize the businesses — of communities within a chip shot of the mountains. The Solheim Cup also offers something else, something you wouldn’t necessarily expect from a golf tournament: a fun atmosphere. Spectators will be singing and chanting, some dressed up in costumes, as they cheer for the Americans or Europeans. Sounds like a good way for Broncos fans to get warmed up.

Who’s to blame? It’s not that easy

Customer service goes for the gold Really, I have to share with you my most recent shopping experiences. You see it wasn’t the “terrible” or even “horrific” event that caught my attention, but rather a series of employee and consumer interactions that were so over-the-top “better than good” that I felt compelled to recognize the full-time and part-time employees in our local stores and shops. As a coach and trainer to the sales profession I thought I may have been having an “out of body experience” during my most recent day of shopping. I had many stores to frequent that day as I prepared for my daughter’s birthday, a vacation and a business trip. My checklist was ready, the stores identified, and “in-and-out” of each store was my mantra. I expected the worst and received the best. And then it happened. “What may I help you shop for today?” That was the greeting I received by a bright-eyed and enthusiastic 17- or 18-year-old girl who prior to my entry was straightening up the shelves in the store. Her genuine smile and eager interest caught my attention. However, I knew what I needed and proceeded to grab those items and headed straight for the checkout line. Although the service was awesome, I didn’t pay particular attention to the experience as I hurried to the next store on my list. And once again I was greeted with an energetic smile and welcome when I entered the shop. Please keep in mind that I teach people how to sell, how to manage and how to provide exceptional customer service. These were not my clients and I was feeling like all of a sudden every store that I entered, the staff was going out of their way to make sure that my shopping needs were taken care of. Was someone setting me up? Or did the retail world undergo a radical change? Did teenagers and young adults become aware of how important their role is to the success of the store that they represent and to the shopper’s experience? These were the thoughts that went racing through my mind after each and every store I visited that day. Each store visit was better than the previous one. So I applaud the extraordinary customer service efforts of our local store owners and employees. I congratulate the

teams and individuals that made my day of shopping “better than good.” I am grateful for the management teams that have trained and shared their experiences with the newest of sales associates so they are better equipped and ready to provide an incredible shopping experience. I am not sure about you, but whenever I receive a level of service that is above and beyond my expectation, I want to recognize and appreciate the people responsible. So after the first two stores where I thought it may have been an anomaly, it was a refreshing and unexpected surprise to receive the same treatment in every store I shopped in that day. These are our friends and family members who work in these stores and put forth this effort. These are people we know and love and hang out with each and every day but maybe fail to recognize or appreciate them for what they do. Please join me in saying “thank you” whenever we can. Dealing with the public is not always easy, as people can be extremely demanding sometimes. However my most recent observations and actual experiences have proved to me that we are surrounded by fantastic sales associates who care about us as a consumer. If you are a store owner, manager, sales associate or member of the customer care team I just want to say how much I appreciate you and all that you do, thank you. Have you had an exceptional shopping or customer service experience? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com and I hope that you will have a better than good week.

The recent George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin verdict brought up a whoosh of emotions for millions of us across the country, including Colorado. With the flood of media run-downs and editorials, Facebook posts, Tweets and coffee-shop conversations, you would swear that every citizen in America was affected by the outcome of the trial. Well, maybe we are. So, whom can we blame for these intense feelings of frustration, vindication and deep sadness? Defendant, victim? Prosecutors, judge, jurors? Lawmakers, judicial system? That’s what we’re all yearning for, isn’t it? Finding the person or people to blame so we can see justice served. As the youngest juror on the federal John DeLorean trial in California years ago, I remember so vividly how badly I wanted to know the real truth. Who was to blame for this mess? Finally, through months of testimony and viewing videotapes (ad nauseam) seeing DeLorean nod in agreement to the deal, I just knew he did it. He was guilty of cocaine trafficking. But by the end of deliberations, when it came down to the letter of the law, the rules of the court, and the judge’s instructions, we could not find a guilty verdict. It was so much more complicated than a quick judgment from any armchair quarterback. We had taken an oath. That was our judicial system, which, although not perfect, is often touted as being the most just possible. In the weeks after the acquittal, dozens of reporters stalked me like cockroaches. Literally jumping out at me from behind cars and waiting on my porch at night, just to find out who was really to blame. Was it me as the rumored holdout juror who finally gave in? Was it our system that failed us? It was quickly the country looking for the latest person to blame, as we so often do with all widely publicized events. And

here we are again. But now with the Zimmerman case, it goes much deeper. Why? (Now, this gets deep, so hang in there with me.) To be scientific, there are models of Systems Theory that show us that when one part of a system is failing, the whole system is impaired. When one person in a society is hurting, then we’re all hurting on some level. That impairment or hurt can even hold us back from progressing as a system or society. So, who’s to blame? Well at the root, we all are, in some way. It takes all of us to create a society of laws, and one with prejudice, ego and fear … or love and compassion. No matter who you think is to blame in this, the blame itself is part of the problem. It separates us rather than unites us as a soulful community. So, with the next verdict, law or incident, rather than looking for someone to blame, let’s seek to understand the complicated whole of it and others’ perspectives to see how we can be part of the solution, rather than perpetuating the problem.

House GOP leadership changes hands r

Loveland business owner cials picked to lead minority party

A Loveland lawmaker has gone from delivering pizzas to Colorado houses to being the Republican leader of the Colorado House. Rep. Brian DelGrosso on July 11 was hing elected House minority leader by members of his party. n DelGrosso, who delivered pizzas for and Domino’s before buying three franchises of s, as his own, was praised by fellow Republicans eans.during a brief election at the Capitol. fans “I’ve seen Brian fight relentlessly for our values, and for our caucus, and for what’s dear to our heart,” said Rep. Libby Szabo, RArvada. “And I appreciate that. And I believe those are key traits to being a leader. “And he makes a hell of a pizza.” DelGrosso has served in the House since 2009 and has been a member of the House Finance and Appropriations committees. A Wyoming native, DelGrosso moved to Colorado after serving in the Air Force and the Wyoming National Guard, before he delivered pizzas for a local Domino’s franchise. DelGrosso now owns Domino’s franchises in Loveland and Windsor. “It’s definitely very humbling for me to be here today, to be in this position,” DelGrosso said. DelGrosso replaces Rep. Mark Waller, RColorado Springs as minority leader. Waller stepped down from his leadership role on it July 11, so he can focus on his campaign for s attorney general. Waller said he felt “a little bit melancholy” to be stepping down as minority rt leader, but said “it’s the right thing to do.” is Waller said he was proud of how he led y his party during the recent legislative sesme sion — one where Republicans faced an n uphill battle on just about every issue in the em Democrat-controlled General Assembly. “While we lost a lot of votes because we simply did not have the numbers, we cers h

tainly won a lot of debates,” Waller said. DelGrosso praised Waller’s leadership before blasting the agenda that Democrats pursued this year. DelGrosso opposed many of the efforts that Democrats touted, such as school finance reform, civil unions and gun control. DelGrosso said he will work to “repeal and correct the onerous bills that were passed this previous session.” He also said that Coloradans “took notice” of the Democrats’ issues platform. “Today isn’t about me, it’s about our election,” he said. “And we all know that

Deal reached on two gun issues

is to the nites By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com

It’s pretty rare when both sides of a gunto mpli- control debate — much less a lawsuit — ves walk away happy. But that’s what happened recently, after on, parties who are tangled in a lawsuit over recently instituted Colorado gun laws came ict to an agreement on a couple of areas of contention. d, The agreement was limited to clarifying od language having to do with limits on gun well. ammunition magazines and whether gun owners could allow anyone besides themselves to handle those magazines. The agreement had nothing to do with the meat that’s left in the lawsuit, which deals with whether the gun laws — which were passed by the Democrat-controlled Legislature and signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper earlier this year — violate the Second Amendment. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit against Hickenlooper — which are made up of gun-rights groups that include 55 county sheriffs — were set to ask a federal judge on July 10 to block parts of the gun laws, specifically

one that limits large-capacity ammunition magazines to 15 rounds. But, the night before the hearing, the two sides ended up coming to an agreement that clarifies which magazines are banned under the law, and clears up confusion over issues pertaining to the temporary possession of gun magazines by someone besides the owner. The plaintiffs were concerned that the law banned magazines with removable baseplates, which are “designed to be readily converted” to hold more than 15 rounds. This, they were set to argue, could have ended up banning nearly all ammunition magazines. The plaintiffs also were concerned that language in the law that requires gun owners to be in “continuous possession” of their magazines would essentially bar anyone else besides the gun owners from handling them. The state’s attorneys agreed to make technical language adjustments in the memos, clarifying that the laws do not affect magazines with baseplates and that “continuous possession” only means continuous gun ownership.

Governor gets behind tax-hike proposal By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Gov. John Hickenlooper acknowledged on July 10 that the tax hike being proposed to fund a new school finance formula is not his “exact preference,” but it is one that he thinks is “winnable” and will support. The governor’s comments, which followed an unrelated Capitol press conference, mark the first time Hickenlooper has told reporters he supports the specific tax initiative tied to a school funding overhaul that advocates recently decided to pursue. The two-tiered tax hike — which will have a greater impact on higher wage earners — would fund Senate Bill 213, the “Future School Finance Act,” so long as voters approve a ballot initiative that will create

about $950 million in new taxes. If funded, the new school finance act would create full-day kindergarten, provide preschool for at-risk children, and would put more money into needs-based programs for special education students and children who are learning English. The act also aims to increase per-pupil funding for school districts across the state in a more equitable fashion than the current system allows. Initiative 22 will ask Colorado voters in November to approve an increase in the state income tax, which is now 4.63 percent for all Coloradans. Under Initiative 22, residents who make up to $75,000 a year would see their rate rise to 5 percent. Income above that level would be taxed at 5.9 percent.

elections have consequences.” House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, DDenver, shook hands with DelGrosso after the election and took the high road in a press statement that was issued afterward. “We don’t always agree, but we do always manage to have a productive dialogue,” Ferrandino said. “I congratulate him and hope he will lead his caucus toward bipartisan solutions on the issues most important to the people of Colorado.” Republican Rep. Frank McNulty of Highlands Ranch, a former House speaker, said DelGrosso will face challenges that McNul-

ty never faced when he led the House GOP. “It is a different dynamic, leading a House caucus when you’re in the minority, because you have to react to what the majority Democrats are doing,” McNulty said afterward. “And that’s going to be a challenge for him.” McNulty believes that DelGrosso’s business background will be an asset to the party’s leadership. “He is the American dream,” McNulty said. “He’s an American success story, and now he’s leading our House Republican caucus.”

County fair promises fun for whole herd Animals, attractions, rides, tasty treats kick off July 24

QUICK GUIDE TO ThE arapahOE COUNTY FaIr

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Funnel cakes and pig races are just two reasons to mark the calendar for the 2013 Arapahoe County Fair, and the Third Annual Battle of the Homebrews may be another, according to fair organizers who are putting the finishing touches on this year’s event. The fair runs July 24-28 at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds, just east of E-470 on Quincy Avenue in Aurora. Returning favorites include the demolition derby, open and junior rodeos, carnival and two nights of fireworks, if local fire bans permit. New this year is the National Sled Pullers Association truck and tractor sled pulls, a high-energy event pitting man and machine against traction and gravity on July 26 in the tractor pull arena. Another addition this year is the pig race and the Rocky Mountain Stockdog Association trials. “Also on the new list this year is the Interactive Stage,” said Stacey Johnson, Arapahoe County spokeswoman. “Here, you’ll find a little bit of everything, like face painting, jugglers, performances by several local dance groups and other animated shows,

but the best part is, it’s that one place at the fair where parents can come and find a bit of shade and respite while the kids are still being entertained.” Johnson added that Interactive Stage activities are included in the price of general admission and are kid-friendly. Little ones can enjoy even more free fun in the mutton bustin’ contest, stick horse rodeo, bubble gum blowing contest and petting zoo.

Kids 12 and younger get in free all week. Parking is $5 per vehicle daily. Carnival rides, midway games and select

activity tickets are sold separately. Buy tokens and pay per ride, or get a daily unlimited carnival ride pass for $25. Amateur homebrewers will enjoy the Third Annual Battle of the Homebrews, a nationally sanctioned beer, cider, mead and ale competition held pre-fair on July 20. “Although we live in a more urban area, the county fair really brings us back to our agricultural roots because it is a big part of our history,” said Johnson. “And that’s something we, at the county, want to really showcase.”

Old latex paint? Don’t flip out! Dry it out! Have you been stockpiling cans of latex paint, waiting for the next Douglas County Household Chemical Roundup? Good news – latex paint is water-based and safe to throw away, if prepared properly. If the paint is completely dry, simply remove the lid and throw the can away. If there is still wet paint in the can, mix in some dirt or cat litter to fully absorb it. Once it is dry, throw it away. Save yourself a trip to the Roundup (and the $25 contribution) if you have water-based paint. Remember, this only applies to water-based latex paint, and NO paint can be dumped in the gutter or thrown in the trash wet. Make a difference in keeping our waterways clean by practicing cost-effective ways to dispose of materials properly. Local stormwater agencies are teaming together to bring you this message.

One recommendation targeted for additional study is a rail trail, which would provide an off-street pedestrian and cycling trail from Bates Avenue to Big Dry Creek with bridges spanning Dartmouth, Hampden and Oxford avenues. White said bridges over the streets are expensive and one proposal is for the city to talk with RTD about the possibility of using the FasTracks funds designated for the Bates Station for other important projects, such as the bike and pedestrian bridges across Dartmouth and Oxford. FasTracks is a program to expand public transportation in the Denver metro area with 119 new miles of rail transportation and enhanced bus transportation. The fund came from a 2004 voter-approved increase in sales taxes. The cost estimates proved

Rick Kahm, public works director, said the lift was installed in 2000 and is wearing out. “The lift operates on a screw-type system When the car stops between floors with someone in it, staff members have to manually crank it down to the ground floor,” he said. “We have had individuals trapped in the elevator between floors for as long as 45 minutes.” Kahm noted the company that services the elevator proposed replacing it with a more efficient hydraulic system at a cost between $25,000 and $30,000.

ited because of construction to complete a total remake of the course, which included the renaming. The driving range, par 3 course and six holes of the regular course were shifted to the west but still remain east of the South Platte River, and the design moved the seventh, eighth and ninth holes west of the river, using vacant land along the riverbank for the holes. “Our use was down quite a bit during those construction years,” said Bob Spada, course manager. “However, we have seen a steady increase in rounds played on the course in the past few years.’ He said there were 46,273 rounds played

less than revenues, so RTD is trying to find alternative funding or will lengthen the time for completion of the project. The FasTracks plan included building a light rail station on Bates Avenue in Englewood when the former south area of the General Iron Works site was developed. The proposal would have RTD, Englewood and the developer each paying a third of the cost of building the station. However, a number of circumstances increased the estimated cost of building the station from about $6 million to almost $20 million. The station cost and other factors indicated Bates Station may never be built. Mike Flaherty, deputy city manager, said the discussions with RTD have been good. He said the next step is to make a formal request to use the Bates Station funding for other transit-related uses. White added that RTD funding cooperation could speed up the implementation of plan recommendations such as the bike/ pedestrian bridges.

on the course in 2012, which is up 7.8 percent from the 42,915 rounds played in 2011. The count is only for nine- and 18-hole rounds played on the main course. He added that play on the par-3 course also increased from 2011 to 2012. Total rounds on the par-3 in 2011 were 19,006. The number increased to 22,234 in 2012. More rounds equate to a 12 percent increase in revenues from 2011 to 2012. The revenues that include all money taken in by greens fees, sales in the pro shop and other sources were $1.87 million in 2011 and increased to $2.1 million in 2012. Spada said the unsettled spring weather this year limited play on the course. But, since the weather has gotten better, play has increased. “The last month or so, the course has been very busy,” he said. “I think we are making up ground and could see the play increase in 2013 for the third straight year.”

REAL ESTATE CAREERS MARKETPLACE SERVICE DIRECTORY

REAL ESTATE AGENT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK How long have you worked in Real Estate? What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not workMidge du Bray I have worked in real estate over 12 years in various ca- ing? Broker Associate

pacities, but licensed in Colorado since 2004.

Cherry Creek Properties, LLC 5655 S. Yosemite Street, Ste. 109 Greenwood Village, CO 80111 C) 720-933-0500 midgedubray2@gmail.com www.DouglasCountyHomeSearch.com Where were you born? Redwood City, California How long have you lived in the area? Since 1997 What do you like most about it? I like the Denver metro area for its city life, suburbs, schools, open space, walking & biking trails, and great infrastructure. I like living close to downtown and to mountain communities. I appreciate Denver’s blue sky, four-season climate and active lifestyle. Denver offers a great quality of life.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? I specialize in listing and selling real estate all over the south Denver metro area. My clients appreciate my knowledge and expertise, work ethic, commitment to helping them achieve their real estate goals, and professionalism. What is the most challenging part of what you do? Balancing work and family life is the most challenging part of my job.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I have two daughters (one in college, one in high school) that keep me busy. I spend lots of time being a spectator at my younger daughter’s volleyball games. I love to exercise every day, belong to a great gym but also enjoy biking and walking outdoors. I also enjoy visiting various mountain communities several times a year with my family. What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? You only get one chance to make a good first impression, so get your home ready to sell before it goes on the market. Price the home correctly. I like helping my clients with those decisions, and take pride that my listings look great when they hit the market. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? rep Before looking at homes, get prequalified by a reputable lender. Put some thought into what features you want in a home and where you would like to live. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? The most unusual encounter I’ve ever had was with a guest at an Open house that I hosted. He took it upon himself to “forage” through the kitchen cabinets and closets looking for prescrip prescription medication. It was very unsettling to have that occur during an Open House, and to have to explain it to my Sellers.

Job hunting for the over 50 T hough the job market has improved in recent years, many men and women are still out of work. Perhaps most troubling, many of those people are age 55 and older who are fearful of an uncertain future where they are seemingly overlooked. According to a 2012 study from the Government Accountability Office, the number of long-term unemployed people age 55 and older has more than doubled since the onset of the recession. For many unemployed over the age of 50, the harsh reality of a job market that does not value their experience or skill set is deeply disconcerting. But as difficult as the job market can be for older men and women, it’s not impossible to find a job, though it might take some ingenuity and perseverance. Don’t limit yourself. Those who were victimized by layoffs should expand their job searches to more than just their previous fields. While it’s definitely a good idea to maintain contacts in your old field and routinely look for openings in that field, it’s also a good idea to examine your skill set and experience and find a new field where these things apply. Chances are your years of experience are transferable to many fields, and redirecting your job hunting efforts to a new line of work might yield opportunities you are not even aware existed. Embrace the 21st century. Many companies or organizations mistakenly assume that the digital age has passed older workers by. Workers in their 50s might be unfairly categorized as dinosaurs with no grasp of mobile technology or the latest software programs. But those applicants who can demonstrate their proficien-

cy in the latest technologies, including mobile technologies like smartphones, tablets and social media, can put themselves above fellow applicants. Start working. If you are mired in long-term unemployment and spend every day at home, get out and start working. Volunteering is a great way to lift your spirits, network with other professionals and maybe even learn of employment opportunities you won’t hear about on the couch at home. And volunteering, be it with a charity or a professional organization, is a great way to revive your resume and continue to add accomplishments despite your unemployment. Emphasize your age. Many unemployed men and women over 50 tend to look at their age as a hindrance that is preventing them from finding gainful employment. But your age can be an advantage, as many organizations find older applicants are more reliable and need less time to adapt than younger applicants with less experience. When emphasizing your age as a positive, don’t focus on job titles, which many other unemployed men and women your age likely highlight on their resumes. Instead, focus on specific achievements and accomplishments and reduce the emphasis you place on job tasks. Achievements tend to stand out above titles, and men and women over 50 likely have achieved more than younger, less experienced applicants. Think small. Smaller companies wherein employees tend to wear many hats are more likely to value experience than a larger company. By the age of 50, many professionals have vast experi-

CARRIERS WANTED NORTH AND SOUTH METRO ROUTES AVAILABLE

ence in a host of different positions, and that versatility is likely to appeal to a small company looking for employees who can multitask. Finding a job after the age of 50 isn’t easy. But taking a broad approach and emphasizing as opposed to downplaying your experience might help you stand out among a crowded pool of applicants. ■ Metro Creative Services

Broening, Thompson rejoin forces

Chef John Broening, who gained fame for his two revered Denver restaurants, Denver Brasserie Rouge in The Ice House and at Duo in the Highland neighborhood, is returning to kitchen at Le Grand Bistro & Oyster Bar at 1512 Curtis St. See the full story at www.5280.com/blogs/2013/07/08/ breaking-john-broening-heads-le-grandoyster-bar-bistro. “We’re putting the Brasserie Rouge band back together,” restaurant owner Robert Thompson told Westword. Broening will join Le Grand Bistro & Oyster Bar as executive chef and also as culinary director of Seasoned Development, Thompson’s restaurant company. Thompson owns Le Grand, Punch Bowl Social and the Argyll Gastro Pub concept. He co-opened Brasserie Rouge with Leigh Jones in 2003. Broening, now chef and co-owner of Spuntino and formerly the executive chef of Duo and the late Olivéa, headed up the kitchen originally at Brasserie Rouge. Broening’s French cooking skills were not enough to prevent the restaurant closing a year later, though. Expect lighter fare at Le Grand, Broening says. He notes that Le Grand’s offerings will be more seasonal.

The Blue Bonnet moves into middle age

Athena Project winner back on stage Contest was held for women playwrights By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The audience is almost in Martha and Leroy Patterson’s run-down front room as the elderly black couple talk about the day. Should they attend the 40th anniversary of the Detroit Riot? (Their son Daniel lost his life in it.) Martha hums happily as she tries on a new hat and a grumpy Leroy says he’s not up to going. His humorous yet sarcastic worldview contrasts to her upbeat devout approach as they converse. She hopes to make it to 100, while he’s is slowing down. Initial symptoms of dementia appear as he sees his dead son. Sad to watch. “Tell Martha Not to Moan” director Melissa McCarl has worked out blocking issues

If you go “Tell Martha Not to Moan” plays at 7:30 p.m. July 19 and 20 and 2 p.m. July 21 at the Aurora Fox studio theater, 9900 E. Colfax Ave., Aurora. Tickets: $20/$18, www.athenaprojectfestival.org, 303-739-1970.

and general interaction well on a limited stage space. Pacing is a bit slow, although these folks are admittedly elderly. “Tell Martha Not to Moan,” by Clinnesha D. Sibley, was the winner in the Athena Project’s contest for women playwrights earlier in 2013, and was so popular when first presented that it is brought back through July 21. Sibley, an award-winning assistant professor of drama at the University of Arkansas, has written several published plays. Her picture of a longstanding, loving relationship is beautifully written, with Martha performed by Adrienne Martin-Full-

wood and Leroy by Russell Costen — both experienced actors, who carry on a pointcounterpoint conversation about memories. Other cast members: Kathi Wood, who plays Cassie, the girlfriend of their late son and the couple’s caregiver; Don Randle as policeman Tommy, who is in love with Cassie (but they don’t want the Pattersons to know); and Martell Harding, who plays the dead son and a detective. As Leroy becomes distressed by teens making noise on the street, they talk about how the neighborhood has changed and not many others are left. Leroy doesn’t want to change anything, including the curtains that he and Danny put up. He gets out a gun and discharges it — Cassie and Tommy are on the scene and a detective arrives to suggest that Leroy be sent to an institution. The production runs is reaching the end of its run and offers a different take on today’s world.

The Blue Bonnet Cafe & Lounge on South Broadway is celebrating its 45th year of the Mobell family ownership this month with steals of deals for diners. It’s been 45 years since Arlene and Phil Mobell purchased the long-standing restaurant at 475 S. Broadway, and the popular Mexican eatery has evolved under current owners, the brother and sister team of Gary and Marci Mobell. Many of the Blue Bonnet’s staff have logged three decades with the restaurant. “My sister Marci and I visit with the tables each and every lunch and dinner that we are here, seven days a week,” Gary said. “We love the interaction with the customers and (value) their opinions. My mom was known for this and we carry on her tradition as she calls daily to check in.” To celebrate the 45th anniversary, the Mobells are offering customers 45-cent bottomless chips and salsa, two happy hour tacos, two happy hour lettuce wraps or Blue Bonnet signature bottled hot sauce

Rothko’s 1940s works on display ‘F His luminous Color Field paintings of the 1950s and 1960s have given Mark Rothko a pre-eminent place among contemporary American painters, but he was active in the 1940s, creating works that ranged from figurative to Jungian myth, surrealism, abstraction … Early images include stories from classical mythology and others inspired by European surrealists and cubists, which led to linear abstract forms, soft colored shapes and finally “Untitled” in 1950, with bands of color — his distinctive style for the remainder of his life. His son, Christopher Rothko, works with his sister Kate Rothko Prizel to advance their father’s legacy. He said: “The 1940s is the decade when everything happens for my father. He enters the decade and he comes out the other end the Rothko we know.” The Denver Art Museum has opened an exhibit called “Figure to Field: Mark Rothko in the 1940s,” running through Sept. 29, which has 28 works, primarily from the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Many have not been displayed in 20 years and illustrate Rothko’s journey as an artist. Also included are 11 works by his contemporaries, including Robert Motherwell, Clyfford Still, Milton Avery, Adolph Gottleib, Arshile Gorky and Jackson Pollock. These artists exchanged ideas and influenced and supported each other. Paintings are hung chronologically with well-written wall text that discusses Rothko’s early years. Born in Russia, Rothko lived in New York in the 1940s, was acquainted with European artists who had escaped from World War II to America and became active with the group of artists who were known as Abstract Expressionists. A copy of the famous

Life magazine photo of that group is included in this show. Representational images no longer worked to represent the war, although he is quoted as saying of the figurative paintings, “I think of my pictures as dramas, the shapes in the pictures are performers ….” “I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstacy, doom and so on,” he is quoted in a New York Times story. By 1947, he eliminated all surrealistic elements and worked with pure form. The back portion of the Gallagher Gallery is devoted to early Color Field Paintings, with oil washes, egg-based paints, stains, some drips left as they happened. Rothko met Clyfford Still, whose works are housed in the next-door Clyfford Still Museum, and they were close friends for 10 years. He introduced Still to collector/gallery owner Peggy Guggenheim, who gave Still a major show before he withdrew from the New York art world. Readers may have had the opportunity to see the excellent play “Red” at Curious Theatre last year, which conveyed the artist’s intensity as he worked on his famous series of red canvases. It portrayed a conflicted man, uncomfortable in his world. (He committed suicide in 1970.) This exhibit was organized by four museums, which each provided particular expertise and will each exhibit the Rothko works: Arkansas Art Center, Columbia, S.C., Art Museum, Columbus Art Museum and Denver Art Museum—in conjunction with the National Gallery of Art, which holds the world’s largest collection of Rothko’s work.

‘Fiddler’ takes to the stage, Phamaly-style Two actresses from south metro area among cast By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Two young south area actresses will be onstage when the much-loved musical “Fiddler on the Roof” opens July 18 at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts in the Phamaly Theatre Company’s annual musical production. The unique company, started a number of years ago by a group of actors with disabilities, produces an annual musical and in recent years a straight play and some original work as well. Emerson “Emma” Stark, age 7, who lives in Highlands Ranch, will play Tevye’s youngest daughter Bielke, and 18-year-old pro Kenzie Kilroy, of Littleton, will be the bookish middle daughter Hodel. The musical, by Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick and Joseph Stein, is based on Sholem Aleichem’s stories of Russia and tells of milkman Tevye’s ongoing effort to keep cultural traditions in his family’s lives. It has played all over the world for 50 years.

Emma, the granddaughter of longtime Phamaly choreographer Debbie Stark, says she especially enjoys hanging out with her grandma during rehearsals. Rehearsals, every night, are “really long,” but she snoozes in the car on the way there. “Everyone is really nice” in the “Fiddler” production, she adds. She recently performed as a space kid in the Magic Moments benefit show, also choreographed by Stark. She reports with delight that ghostly Frumah Sarah flies in her wheelchair in Kilroy Fiddler. Phamaly actors are recognized for their stage skills — and for the fact that they put on a fine show with a variety of disabilities. Emma has type 1 diabetes and says she has to test more often when she’s involved in this intense activity. She will be in second grade at Copper Mesa Elementary School in the fall and studies dance at Debbie Stark’s Kaleidoscope dance studio. She has two older siblings — one of whom has performed at the Arvada Center. Other summer fun includes a lot of swimming, Emma said.

IF you go “Fiddler on the Roof” plays July 18 to August 11 in the Space Theatre at Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays and 7:30 p.m. Monday, July 28. Tickets: $34/$30, 303-893-4100, phamaly.org. The July 28 performance will be audio-described and ASL-signed. An 11 a.m. backstage sensory tour is offered free, although reservations are required. 303-575-0005.

Kilroy graduated early from Columbine High School last year and is moving to Los Angeles when “Fiddler” is over. In the past year, she has understudied three parts in the Arvada Center’s “Dividing the Estate,” performed in Ben Dicke’s “Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson” at the Aurora Fox and in “Hair” with the Evergreen Players. She has an agent and hopes to get into film work. Kilkroy learned about the Phamaly company from Robert Michael Sanders at Arvada and her voice teacher, Traci Kern. She was aware of the company, but thought one had to have a physical disability. Her problems are dyslexia and ADD, and cognitive and emotional problems are included, she

Caffeine and culture at coffee shop Carol Garrett and Jam Wong exhibit their artwork through Aug. 30 at Solid Grounds Coffee House, 6504 S. Broadway, Littleton. They will hold a public reception from 6 to 8:30 p.m. July 19. Garrett was a musician before she became a visual artist. Her oil paintings have been shown widely in the metro area and she won a first place in the All Colorado Juried Show at Littleton’s Depot Art Center. Jam Wong was born in China and learned calligraphy as a child, which gave him experience with brushwork and artistic expression. He came to the U.S. at age 9. He was an architect in Denver for 40 years and now devotes his time to painting.

Author Jacqueline St. Joan will speak at 7 p.m. July 23 at Littleton’s Bemis Library on “Honor Crimes Against Women in Pakistan.” She traveled to Pakistan, met with activists, stayed with families and visited shelters.

learned. “It’s not only for persons in wheelchairs.” She auditioned for Hodel in the spring. “It’s been my dream part since I was 10. I auditioned for it while in school but got a chorus part instead. … I came from a play, but am interested in musical theater. “You get acquainted in three days,” she said of her experience with fellow cast members. “And they’re fun to hang out with.” At the first rehearsal, she wondered what the choreography would look like, given the need to adapt to blindness, deafness, cerebral palsy, wheelchairs and other issues. “Some errors happen in rehearsal, but they get worked out.” To learn her lines, she records herself reading. “I need to figure out how to say things … memorize without switching words. I need to hear the voice.” In this play, she knew the story really well. Her family helps her. She says she taught herself to sing, but now studies voice with Traci Kearn, to become more professional. She dances, but has reservations about her abilities. “That’s why I’m going to LA instead of New York. In New York, you have to dance.”

Jeff Covington connects with a pitch during the July 9 Englehoods-RMWC Bad Cats fastpitch softball game. From the 1950s until the 1980s, there were hundreds of teams playing fastpitch softball, but now there are fewer than 20 teams playing the sport in Colorado. Photos by Tom Munds

Fastpitch softball alive in Englewood City has six-team league in once-thriving sport By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Each Tuesday, fans and players head to Englewood’s Belleview Park to watch or compete in one of the few remaining leagues in the once-popular sport of fastpitch softball. “I started playing in the early ‘90s and there were three Englewood leagues, a C league, a B league and a more talented A league. There were also a lot of fastpitch leagues in other communities around the metro area and the state,” Englewood resident Jeff Covington said. “Now, there is this six-team league here, a league in Boulder and a league in Pueblo. It appears to be a dying sport, and that is sad.” Part of the problem is the lack of young players. That was evident by the fact that players under 30 were few on the six teams that played at Belleview Park on July 9. Playing defense and even batting in

fastpitch softball is much like baseball. For that reason, Covington said, it used to be that high school baseball players naturally migrated to fastpitch softball. He said now there are only a few high school graduates who join fastpitch teams. Another issue is the lack of pitchers. It takes a lot of practice and good coaching to develop into a competitive fastpitch softball pitcher. Most teams have older players on the mound, but Covington and his teammates on the Englehoods enlisted Rebekah Kilpatrick to pitch for them. Kilpatrick said she is still pitching because it is fun. “I got started a lot of years ago, my dad and I saw a flier on the recreation room wall about fastpitch softball and I begged them to let me play,” she said with a smile. “I got my way and I have always been a pitcher because I wanted to be in the middle of the field and the center of attention. The more I pitched, the more the sport became a passion and a love. I can’t get enough of it, even after 30 years on the mound.” She said pitched for Louisiana Tech University and, after college, just looked for

teams that needed a pitcher when the Englehoods asked her to take the mound. She said she immediately agreed to pitch for the team. Covington, who fills in as the catcher, said Kilpatrick’s pitching keeps the team in a lot of games but, unfortunately, the Englehoods aren’t a power-hitting team and often don’t provide the run support to get the wins. On July 9, the Englehoods provided run support as they edged the RMWC Bad Cats 4-3. There was a scattering of fans in the stands, including Henry Olander, who said he came to watch the game because he still loves the sport though he doesn’t play now. He said he lived in Littleton when he started playing. For most of his 35-year fastpitch softball career, he said he played for two teams and pitched an average of two or three games a week. “I got started as a second baseman and the guy who ran the team talked me into learning to pitch,” the Highlands Ranch resident said. “The circular motion is natural and I’m told it doesn’t hurt the shoulder or arm. But it takes a long time to learn to

throw and to control different pitches.” The Englehoods played the RMWC Bad Cats in the second game of the night on July 9. The caliber of competition was good as players from each team made diving stops, leaping catches and hit the ball hard at times. Centennial resident Joe Kelly said he had been playing fastpitch softball for more than 20 years. “We didn’t have baseball in my high school, I started playing slowpitch and then got on this team and fastpitch is a lot better,” he said. “I play centerfield for the RMWC Bad Cats. The position really fits me and I really enjoy that spot.” He agreed it is sad to see the decline in popularity of the sport. “I’ll stay with it as long as there is a league where we can play,” he said. “For some reason, young guys don’t know about fastpitch softball while girls and the woman all over the country are playing the sport. But young guys just don’t seem interested and you need young guys joining teams to keep them going. Like I said, it is sad that it is happening.”

once-popular game has rich history From the 1950s until the 1990s, hundreds of teams competed By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Fastpitch softball fan Sid Leachman says trying to find games today is like looking for hen’s teeth. “Fastpitch softball is a great game. I started playing in the late 1960s after I got home from the service and I played for more than 20 years,” Leachman said as he watched a game in Englewood. “I am too old to play now but I still love to watch the games. There aren’t as many good pitchers as there used to be and there aren’t as many teams around anymore. But any time I know the teams are playing, you’ll find me in the stands. But it’s getting harder and harder to

even find games to watch. It’s a shame, but it seems the game is slowly dying from lack of participation.” Leachman, a Denver resident, lived in the Englewood area for many years. When he started playing in the 1960s while in the service, and when he got out of the Air Force in 1965 in Denver, there were hundreds of fastpitch softball teams in Colorado. Today there are fewer than 20 teams total in the leagues in Boulder, Pueblo and Englewood. Fastpitch softball enjoyed its greatest popularity right after World War II, when it was about the only summer sporting event going on as men returned from the service. Newspaper reports of the era said some of the best games were played at Denver City Park. The reports said families routinely came out early to get a good spot to watch the game and dad would join them after work. Also, there were reserved seats

in the press box for members of the Denver City Council. Two of the premier pitchers of the area were Harvey Sterkel and Larry Bollig. Sterkel was inducted to the American Softball Association Hall of Fame and Bollig was inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. In one classic confrontation, Bollig and Sterkel faced off in an 18-inning game. Bollig fanned 37, Sterkel fanned 23 and Bollig’s team won 1-0. Bollig served in the Navy during World War II, and later in fastpitch softball competition pitched about 1,000 games and won 925. Sterkel moved to Aurora, Ill., where his record from 1956 until 1969 was 345 wins and 33 losses. The first rules for softball were drawn up in 1934 by the Joint Rules Committee on Softball. The original ball was 16 inches in circumference, but the majority of the sport

adopted a ball 10 to 12 inches in circumference. While the sport was originally advertised as an indoor winter game for baseball players looking to maintain their dexterity during the off season, it gained so much popularity and recognition that it quickly became its own official sport. The United States and 113 countries have officially joined the International Softball Federation since the organization’s formation in 1952. Slowpitch softball has gained popularity. There are rules limiting who can hit home runs and many leagues are coed. However, in recent years, at least in Colorado, men’s fastpitch softball’s popularity has declined. However, a recent Amateur Softball Association report stated the popularity of fastpitch softball among girls and woman is at an all-time high and is still increasing.

Drivers have bond with track family Bandimeres inspire loyalty among drag-race crowd

MOPAR MILE HIGH NATIONALS

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Ask most drivers competing in the Mopar Mile High Nationals about coming to Bandimere Speedway, and the comments start with changes that have to be made to the cars because of the elevation. However, most of the remarks eventually mention the Bandimere family, which has owned the track for 55 years. “For starters, we just love the Bandimere family,” said Pro Stock driver Jeg Coughlin, who has formed a two-car team with Allen Johnson and Mopar this season. “First and foremost, the Bandimere family has owned and operated the facility for over 50 years and they have always done a fantastic job, not only for the racers but fans. “The facility is first rate and the only facility on the tour that has a radiant cooling system integrated with the starting line system to keep the temperatures down on the starting line at the surface. That was a big investment the Bandimeres made. When we are here in July and it is 100 degrees and the track gets to 150 degrees, now they are able to moderate that.” Coughlin admits that Bandimere’s beauty offsets the work on changes to the car that have to be made because the track is 5,800 feet above sea level. “We have to make a lot of changes to come to Bandimere,” he said. “I can quickly tell you we don’t change the driver or the paint on the outside of the car. Everything else we manipulate. The mountain here in unbelievable. Just looking around, you do a 360 on your feet. I’d be lying to say we don’t sneak out once every winter to visit Vail. We really enjoy the area.” John Force, a 15-time Funny Car cham-

He retired at the conclusion of the 2008 season driving a Mopar Hemi-powered Funny Car. He earned one win at Bandimere in 2006. “I’m humbled and excited to be asked by Mopar to serve as grand marshal and be part of such an amazing event once again,” said Scelzi. “There are only a few NHRA nationals that have prestige and meaning and where winning really means something extra special.

pion, has been a regular at the Mile High Nationals. “First time I came over that mountain it was snowing,” said Force. “I knew without a race I wouldn’t have any money to pay the hotel rooms. Now that’s changed. I remember being there with my dad, he’s passed now, and John Bandimere, he was a kid like me. His and my dad sat on the hill and talked about their two crazy kids, one trying to run a racetrack, one trying to drive a race car. Neither one of us had a clue. I would look at my daughters, playing on the side of the hill in the dirt, running around there, playing at the racetrack. “There were bad times when I crashed, there are good times when I won. I love going back. It’s a beautiful facility. The fans open their arms to us. The media is great. It’s really a tough deal on that mountain. There was one year there I ran top speed, I was faster than the dragsters. That doesn’t happen very often. For a few moments we were up there with our big brother. It was a great feeling. A lot of those dragster guys were telling me that was pretty cool. Never done it since, but we keep trying. “ Pietro Gorlier, president and CEO of Mopar, lauded the Chrysler Group’s long relationship with Bandimere Speedway. “We are very proud of our longstanding relationship with the Bandimere family, their wonderful facility and the passionate fans that attend the Mopar Mile High NHRA Nationals every year,” said Gorlier. “Since 1989, this historic track has become our home away from home because of a

Nationals amongst the Gatornationals and Englishtown. It’s special not just because it has been around forever and is extremely difficult and challenging, but also because of the Bandimere family. “They go out of their way to make everyone, from the fans to the competitors, feel at home. They think of everything and make you really feel like you are part of their family and their home. My history at Bandimere was actually quite horrible. I don’t think I made it out of the first round much, but I just loved coming here regardless. It was a huge challenge on track but it was always about family and fun and was always an event, a party everyone looked forward to. When I did finally win with Mopar in 2006, it just had so much meaning, and to be invited back to celebrate their 25 years with the Bandimere family is really exciting.”
