A fun time was had by all of the hundreds of folks who turned out for Englewood’s annual FunFest at Belleview Park on Aug. 9. This year’s activities included a rockclimbing wall, bungee jumping, bounce houses, miniature train rides, field games and entertainment throughout the day. There was also lots of artistic fun with The Museo de las Americas, Keep Englewood Beautiful, the Englewood Cultural Arts Commission and the Denver International School. The little ones had a great time traversing the park on the miniature train, a perennial favorite, and wading in the creek.

Although members of the Englewood City Council had said there would be only five finalists for the city manager position, they announced six names on Aug. 7 — all from out of state. They are: • Mary Lou Brown, current city administrator of the City of Grand Island, Neb. She holds a master’s degree in finance from Creighton University. • Timothy Ray Hacker, interim parks and recreation director of the City of Las Vegas and former city manager of North Las Vegas. He holds a master’s of public administration from Southern Illinois University. • Eric A. Keck, chief operating officer of Ground Force Worldwide in Post Falls, Idaho, and former city administrator of Post Falls. He holds an MPA from the University of Dayton. • James R. Nichols most recently served as assistant city manager of the City of Midland, Texas. He holds a master’s in environmental engineering from the University of Connecticut. • Steven P. Norwood, current city manager of the City of Round Rock, Texas. He holds a master’s in urban affairs from the University of Texas at Arlington. • Roy T. Witherow, current assistant village manager of Lake Zurich, Ill. He holds an MPA from Northern Illinois University. The candidates were interviewed by city council on Aug. 11, and a public reception was held that evening for community leaders and members of the general public to meet the candidates and provide feedback to council. Council then met in executive session on Aug. 12 to discuss the candidates, and expects to announce the final decision by Aug. 22. Following current City Manager Gary Sears’ announcement in March that he will retire at the end of August, council hired Slavin Management Consultants to conduct a nationwide search for his replacement. More than 100 candidates applied for the position. The field was narrowed to 13 finalists, and during an executive session on July 14, council selected the final six candidates. Since then, the consulting firm has been conducting background checks and additional reviews on them.The candidates’ resumes are posted on the city’s website, www.englewoodgov.org, under the “Inside City Hall” tab on the top of the homepage. Once that tab is open click on the “Hot Topics” tab.

Talk puts fracking front and center Gov. John Hickenlooper said last week that he will be the one who selects the members of a task force that will be charged with finding a compromise on issues surrounding hydraulic fracturing. The governor also addressed concerns on the part of Republicans that the commission’s work could result in more regulations on the oil and gas industry. Hickenlooper talked about fracking during an Aug. 8 roundtable event with several business leaders at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce in Centennial, as well as during an interview with Colorado Community Media afterward. The governor said his administration hasn’t quite figured out how the 18-member commission will be selected or how it will ultimately operate. But the governor put aside any question as to who will put the task force together. “People ask me, `Who’s gonna pick ‘em?’ I am,” Hickenlooper said. “The buck stops here and I guarantee you we’re going to have everybody pissed off again. The one criteria is that everyone who is going to be on that list is someone who believes we can get to a yes (on a compromise).” The task force was born out of a deal the governor reached with Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis earlier in the week that will keep anti-fracking initiatives that Polis was backing from appearing on the November ballot. The measures would have required greater distances between wells and occupied structures and would have given communities more control over fracking — the process in which water and chemicals are blasted into the ground to free up trapped oil and gas.
Remarks in spotlight
Hickenlooper and the oil and gas industry were fearful that the initiatives would essentially ban fracking in Colorado and cripple the state’s economy. Instead of the voters, it will be the task force that will take up those issues and that
From 48 to 18

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

will provide recommendations for potential legislation to the General Assembly. But Republican lawmakers are already feeling uneasy about the commission. And their concerns were heightened following comments Hickenlooper made during an energy summit in Denver earlier in the week. According to the Associated Press, Hickenlooper said the task force’s “success is dependent upon it ending in regulation.” That comment didn’t sit well with House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland. “We should go into it from the premise that the commission take a look at whether we actually need regulations,” DelGrosso said in an interview prior to the governor’s Chamber of Commerce event. “He’s starting with the premise that it’s going to be set up to regulate.” Hickenlooper, in an interview with Colorado Community Media, insisted that’s not what he said, even though he made his comments in front of a group of reporters. “What I said was legislation,” the governor said. “Go back and look at the quotes. I never said we needed more regulation. Now, we might. Again, this is the whole point of getting people from all the different viewpoints in the same room and letting them have a discussion in such a way to try to figure out: `Is there a compromise here?’” Hickenlooper said he would like to see the task force’s effort result in some kind of legislation, even if it’s merely “taking existing regulation and codifying it.” “Unless we get it into legislation, I mean we would have made progress, even if we just discuss it we will have made progress,” he said during the interview. “But I think that the best success will be if we get to some level of legislation.” Hickenlooper said the commission will have a “narrow focus,” one that he hopes will result in work getting done in a timely manner. “We’re not going to be out there talking about air quality; we’re not going to be out there talking about water quality,” he said. “We’re really going to look into surface use issues, a very narrow set of issues to talk about.”

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

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

CDOT calls lane effort a success Short-term congestion tactic likely to be used elsewhere By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Colorado Department of Transportation said its through-lane experiment on southbound Interstate 25 has been a success, and it likely will use the strategy elsewhere in the state. The method included adding a solid white lane to designate the left-hand lane from about Dry Creek Road to near RidgeGate Parkway for through traffic only. It is set for elimination as the two-year lane-
balancing project gets underway this month. Some Douglas County residents who have used the lane gave it a tentative thumbs-up. “I think the concept is great,” said Larkspur resident Lee Martin. “I like the idea of being able to get past, especially at that Lincoln exit that jams up so bad. If we can keep that steady flow going on for people going south, I think it’s a great idea. “But I think in the limited time it was used, the public didn’t get it. It kind of irritated me that people were still crossing in and out of the lane. There would need to be some public education done on it. In a longer period of time, I think that would happen.”
Martin also said the dedicated lane seemed irrelevant later in the evenings, when traffic was light. Castle Rock resident Rachel Moszer said restricting one lane had a negative impact on the remaining lanes. “If you were getting onto I-25 before Dry Creek, it worked pretty well,” she said. “But it created a bit more of a bottleneck getting onto I-25 (south) from C-470 during rush hour because there were only a couple of lanes available, and everyone was crammed into them.” Like Martin, she noticed many drivers disregarded the white line. “It’s annoying for the people that are trying to respect it and not just cross over,” she said.
CDOT spokeswoman Crystal Morgan said driver feedback she heard was positive. “From the traveling public’s point of view, it has seen a lot of success,” she said. “We will most likely be implementing a similar project elsewhere in the state.” The dedicated lane can only be used on sections of highway with at least three lanes of traffic. This month, CDOT is beginning a $35 million project to add an additional lane in each direction of I-25 between Lincoln Avenue and County Line Road. The project will continue through December 2016 and will alleviate the bottlenecks created by traffic merging onto and off of I-25 at both C-470 and Lincoln.
Owner of killer pit bull pleads guilty School tip line under state control Dachshund’s life ended in convenience store parking lot Staff report The owner of a pit bull that attacked and killed a dachshund in May at an Englewood 7-Eleven pleaded guilty to having a “dog at large” and being responsible for an animal exhibiting “dangerous behavior.” The 28-year-old woman, an Englewood resident, appeared in Englewood Municipal Court on Aug. 8 for a pre-trial conference with the city attorney. The city attorney, according to a news release from the City of Englewood, turned down a plea of no-contest, and told the owner that he would only accept a guilty plea. On Aug. 11, the owner returned for a second pre-trial conference and pleaded guilty. She was given a $300 fine on each count. Those fines are being suspended with conditions. As long as no similar violations oc-

cur within one year, the dog continues to train with a company called Pit-AFul, the owner complies with the Englewood Dangerous Dog Ordinance, pays any restitution ordered by the courts, and any time the dog is seen on a public sidewalk or street it is leashed and muzzled, no fines will be collected. On May 16, the pit bull was running loose without any collar or tags when it approached a 63-year-old woman driving a motorized scooter through the 7-Eleven parking lot and attacked the woman’s dachshund, which was sitting at the woman’s feet. Officers, called to the scene by an employee of the store, arrived to find the dachshund dead in the parking lot, and took possession of the pit bull. When the owner of the pit bull arrived, she told officers that her dog had escaped and was not aggressive toward people, only other dogs, according to officers. The owner was issued a summons and the pit bull was impounded overnight until the owner could prove ownership and that all the vaccinations were up-to-date.

New laws include change for violence reporting system By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The reorganization of a school violence hotline was among a handful of new safety laws that took effect last week. The Safe2Tell Act moves an existing anonymous tip line from the nonprofit sector to a state-run program that is operated through the Department of Law. The program was set to shut down due to a lack of funding before the Legislature unanimously passed a bill earlier this year that transfers its control to the state. The hotline was set up after the 1999 Columbine High School shootings as a way for students to provide anonymous reports of potential campus threats. The state claims that since its implementation, the hotline has prevented some school attacks and suicides and has led to intervention in more than 2,000 bullying instances. “Students are often the first to hear threats against a school, or to see bullying or drug use, so they play a critical role in preventing these problems,”
state Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, a bill sponsor, said through an emailed statement. “Safe2Tell empowers students to break the silence in an anonymous, proactive way so that kids can focus on learning while at school.” Also taking effect last week was a separate public safety effort that imposes new penalties on businesses that sell designer drugs. The law subjects vendors who sell synthetic marijuana, often called “spice,” to civil liability. Synthetic drugs have been known to be more dangerous than marijuana and have resulted in some deaths. “Despite their growing popularity, synthetic drugs are incredibly dangerous and this new law is a crucial step in taking action against these harmful substances,” state Rep. Lois Landgraf, R-Fountain, a bill sponsor, said through an emailed statement. “I’m comforted knowing this law is now in place to help keep synthetic drugs out of Colorado children’s hands.” Also taking effect last week is a new public safety law that makes operating a vehicle chop shop a Class 4 felony. The law is meant to curb cases of automobile thefts in the state.

Tasty times return to Castle Rock
“Primary Colors” by Littleton photographer Andy Marquez will be available at the Affordable Arts Festival on Aug. 24 at Arapahoe Community College. Courtesy photos
Original art at ACC has bargain prices Festival devoted to affordable works returns By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Last year, I sold a piece originally priced at $795 for $100,” Littleton photographer Andy Marquez said of the Affordable Art Festival at Arapahoe Community College. “The customer was extremely happy.” Marquez will be in Booth 42 when the show returns later this month. Like other established artists, both local and national, who participate in the Affordable Art Festival, Marquez had accumulated some surplus inventory and wished to sell it to make room for new work in his gallery. This concept has been successful elsewhere in the country, where show manager Jim Delutes had observed it and brought it to Colorado last year at ACC. Potter Peggy Crago and metal artist Rick Martin, both of Englewood, will also be there, as will award winners from other shows, such as sculptor Arabella Tattershall, who won Best of Show at the 2013 Downtown Denver Arts Festival, and plein air painter Deborah McAllister of Lakewood, who won numerous awards last season. Sean Brown of Houston, who is also signed on as an exhibitor, has jewelry in former Secretary of State Madeline Albright’s famous collection. Jim Delutes, who also runs the large Downtown Denver Arts Festival on Memorial Day weekend, said that over 130 artists will show and sell works for $100 or less from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 24, from tents on Arapahoe Community College’s wide west lawn at the Littleton campus, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive. Admission costs $5 per person, which will go to the ACC Foundation for scholarships to deserving students. Delutes mentions easy access from RTD’s C and D light-rail lines and lots of free parking on the campus. He also mentions the show’s popularity and a long line of art lovers waiting to get in. Music will add to the pleasure of attending: At the north end of the festival, John (Jake) Jacobs will perform on the dulcimer and at the south end, attendees will find classical and acoustic guitar duo Skanson and Hansen.
Twelve’s number is up
Metal art by Rick Martin of Englewood will be available at the Affordable Art Festival on Aug. 24 at ACC.
IF YOU GO The 2014 Affordable Art Festival will be held on the west lawn of Arapahoe Community College, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 24. Admission: $5, which benefits the ACC Foundation. Information: affordableartsfestival.com.
Take a bite (or 12) out of Douglas County at the 12th annual Taste of Douglas County, where local restaurateurs will show off fine fare from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 21 at the Douglas County Events Center. “Twelve years ago I realized that Douglas County had a fine selection of restaurants and decided to put on an event that would highlight many of those places to area residents,” said Mike Boyle, host of the Restaurant Show on Newstalk KNUS 710 AM radio and Comcast Channel 8. “This will give people an inexpensive evening out while enjoying wonderful cuisine from many area restaurants and food service establishments.” Restaurants and other dining establishments will offer selections from appetizers to main courses to desserts. Tickets are $10 in advance or $20 at the door. Kids four years old and under are free. The admission ticket includes food from each of these various establishments and free parking. Restaurants participating include Old Stone Church, Pegasus on the Square, Outback Steakhouse, Old Chicago, Rockyard American Grill & Brewery, Crave Real Burgers, Fowl Line Sports Grill, Stumpy’s Pizza, and many more. There will be beverages from Lost Coffee, Sugarland Sodas, Keva Juice smoothies and more. Additional information is available at www.tasteofdouglascounty.com or by calling Boyle at 303-903-0017.

Twelve, the Ballpark neighborhood restaurant that much-lauded chef-owner Jeff Osaka opened in November 2008, will serve its last supper on Aug. 23 in the 2233 Larimer location. Osaka said he plans to reopen in a new space that allows more seating than the tiny eatery now accommodates. “I opened Twelve on the same day that Barack Obama was elected president of the United States, and I’m closing Twelve on my 50th birthday, so I guess you could say that I’m a man who marks milestones,” said Osaka, whose own mark on the Denver dining scene has resulted in a swell of accolades, including a 2014 James Beard semifinalist nomination for Best Chef Southwest. Osaka, who opened Twelve when the Ballpark area was still in its infancy, rose to culinary prominence with his seasonally intensive, peak-produce menus that changed on the first day of each month, an endeavor that resulted in 70 menus and more than 1,000 different dishes. For reservations through Aug. 23, call 303-293-0287 or go to opentable.com. After Twelve closes, the space will become Butcher’s Bistro, a retail butcher shop and restaurant helmed by Scott Bauer, the regional manager of Snooze, and Tyson Holzheimer, the regional chef at Snooze. Butcher’s Bistro plans to open in October, serving lunch, happy hour and dinner from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

Public invited to discuss C-470 project
Services
By Christy Steadman
S
Advertise: 303-566-4100
csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Commuters and residents alike are invited to attend a town hall meeting Aug. 19 in Highlands Ranch to learn more about the project to expand C-470. Attendees will “learn about the new innovative era of transportation and share thoughts on funding the proposed improvements on C-470 from I-25 to Wadsworth,” states a news release from the Colorado Department of Transportation. The meeting is from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Highlands Ranch Metro District building, 62 Plaza Drive. “We have preliminary information, and we’re coming to the community to gather their input,” said Megan Castle, a spokeswoman with CDOT. There is an education piece to the meeting, Castle said, but the main focus is to get feedback from the public. She said it has to be determined which avenues need to be taken in order for the project to continue to move forward. The intention of the project is to relieve congestion and improve safety and mobility on C-470 by constructing additional lanes. Three funding options were proposed, one being sales and property tax increases, and one was adding a toll for all use of C-470. Public input proved these two options to be unfavorable to the citizens, and on Feb. 7, 2013, the C-470 Coalition voted to place a toll on only the new express lanes of the highway. The user-based toll option passed 7-0 among the coalition. However, the express lane toll is not to generate revenue, but more about managing traffic flow. Key presenters at the town hall meeting include representatives from CDOT, the C-470 project team and the C-470 Coalition, which is made up of representatives from Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties; the Highlands Ranch Metro District; and the cities of Centennial, Greenwood Village, Littleton and Lone Tree. The first hour will consist of a discussion on financing and partnership opportunities for the proposed improvements to the busy stretch of highway. That discussion will be followed by a presentation including an “update on the C-470 project, innovations in transportation choice, funding and project delivery, how public private partnerships (P3) are being used to finance transportation projects elsewhere in the state and whether a P3 model for financing improvements to C-470 East is being considered,” the news release states. After the presentation, attendees will be able to participate in a questions-and-comments session. “This is a critical corridor, we’re looking at all the considerations,” Castle said. “We’re encouraging folks to give us input.”

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