EDC aims to create 7,500 new jobs New economic development initiative launched

By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@ ourcoloradonews.com Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation publically launched a new initiative last week — “Forward Jeffco” — with the goal of creating 7,500 new jobs in the county.

To accomplish that level of economic development, the EDC is attempting to raise $3.9 million in additional revenue from government and business sponsors.

In 2012, Jeffco EDC had an operating budget of about $900,000 and claimed 860 jobs created or retained.

The official kick-off, which comes after months of behindthe-scenes sponsorship discus-

Jeffco EDC Board Chair Fred Baker helped start the Jeffco Forward Initiative presentation, held at the MillerCoors Brewery on June 11. The presentation represented the public kick-off to the initiative, which seeks to expand Jeffco EDC’s activities in trying to bring more businesses to the county. Photo by Glenn Wallace sions, occurred June 11 at the MillerCoors Golden Brewery.

Jeffco EDC board chair Fred Baker started the kick-off presentation, saying that the corporation’s last five-year-plan lacked a

lot needed funding.

“What we were able to do this time is take a more intelligent approach,” Baker said.

Forward Jeffco has five listed strategic components:

• More aggressive targeting of companies in desired industries; • Create new jobs by helping existing businesses grow; • Stimulate new business, including small and home-based businesses, by pulling together entrepreneur resources; • Identify and satisfy workforce development needs; • Aggressively advocate for business at all levels of government.

According to Jeffco EDC CEO Kevin McCasky, part of the additional funds will quickly go to hiring another staff member to travel nationally, and internationally, to market the county to businesses in “identified cluster markets” that he hopes to bring in. Those cluster markets include aerospace/aviation, energy, bioscience, enabling technologies, and consumer products and creative services.

More than $2 million of the Forward Jeffco monetary goal has

been reached with contributions from about 25 sources, according to McCasky.

Contributors include the City of Lakewood, Exempla Lutheran Medical Center, Xcel Energy, Lockheed Martin, and Jefferson County Public Schools.

Arvada Mayor Marc Williams said he was proud that his city and city council had been among the first to pledge their support for the initiative, providing up to $50,000 a year, for the next five years.

“It’s needed to raise the bar, so that we can attain the primary jobs and the economic development that this county needs and deserves,” Williams said.

The Jeffco EDC has traditionally been funded 50/50 by government and business sources.

Williams said that part of the Jeffco Forward initiative would be to shift that ratio, so that the business community would fund 70 percent, which had been accomplished for the Arvada area.

Clear Creek water level running high Runoff currently dangerous for recreation

By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com Dangerous runoff conditions, along with a vehicle water recovery effort that occupied much of the city’s rescue personnel, led the City of Golden to close Clear Creek to recreational use on June 12.

Water levels, and the rate of recreational swimmers and tubers in the creek were on the rise earlier that week. According to Golden city records, there were three incidents of people in the creek getting into distress — requiring aid getting out of the water, and/or recovering from the cold water’s effects – from Sunday to Tuesday. No serious injuries were reported.

“We helped fish this little 19-year-old tuber out of the creek,” Keifer Logsdon of Greenwood Village said, alongside his friend Bailey Pate on June 10. The two were sunning themselves near a flooded section of the Clear Creek trail, when they said they helped the young man pull himself up the creek bank.

“He was yelling ‘Help.’ I thought he was joking, but he wasn’t,” Logsdon said of the tuber.

Logsdon described the creek water level as “crazy.”

Beginning last week, record high temperatures contributed to higher run-off water volumes along the creek, leading to portions of the city’s creek-side trails to become flooded beginning on June 12.

Flood-prone sections were closed to the public.

According to the U.S. Geologic Survey’s Golden monitoring station, the seasonal peak of flow in Clear Creek seems to have occurred in the early morning hours of June 12, at around 1,300 cubic feet per second.

The 38-year average creek volume is

That portion of the Clear Creek trail, among others, began seeing some flooding last week as high temperatures led to higher run-off volume. Portions of the trail remained closed throughout the week due to flooding concerns. Photo by Glenn Wallace 680 cubic feet. Last year, the flow for this time of year was only 380 cubic feet due to drought and a warm spring.

“It is time consuming. Every time we get a report of an empty tube floating downstream, we have to investigate,” Golden Fire’s Battalion Chief Jerry Stricker said, indicating that the city had received several such calls in recent days.

Due to the conditions, and stretched resources, the city banned all non-professional water recreation in Clear Creek for a day. The ban was lifted Thursday, June 13, but city Public Information Officer Karlyn Tilley said she continues to recommend great caution.

“We still urge people to not get in the creek because of the high water levels. And

we strongly encourage wearing life vests and helmets if they do,” Tilley said.

Stricker said he expects water flows to slowly decrease, perhaps becoming safer for tubers and swimmer later in the summer. For the present however, he says it is not recommended, and describes the current creek water as “powerful and relentless … and cold.”

Northglenn woman dies in canyon crash

By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com A woman died in the early morning hours of June 12 when the vehicle she was driving went off the roadway in Clear Creek Canyon and was found submerged in the waters of Clear Creek.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Elizabeth Ruth Lucero, 60, from Northglenn. Emergency responders found Lucero inside the car, and U.S. 6 was closed for several hours during the recovery operation. The Colorado State Patrol is investigating the cause of the crash.

Golden Dispatch received a call from a motorist on U.S. 6 at 6:16 a.m. The caller said she saw a car go over the edge of the road in Clear Creek Canyon.

“By the time (the caller) got out and looked over the edge, the car just wasn’t there,” Battalion Chief Jerry Stricker said.

Emergency responders arrived on scene and eventually found the vehicle, — a silver Ford sedan — about a quarter mile downstream from where it exited the roadway. It was found near mile marker 268.

Stricker said only the radio antenna was visible above the water line.

Wednesday afternoon the Clear Creek Canyon roadway was closed. About two dozen West Metro Fire and Golden Fire personnel responded to the scene. Fire and rescue workers entered the water, and attached tow ropes to the car.

“It was a difficult. A technical (recovery) that took a few hours,” Golden Public Information Officer Karlyn Tilley said. “Our crews are some of the most well-trained in water rescue so they’re often called in for these types of (situations).”

Stricker said the water volume in Clear Creek likely was at its annual peak the morning of the accident.

golden news in a hurry Ponzi schemers sentenced

A Colorado couple, convicted of running a $17 million Ponzi scheme, will be heading to federal prison.

Richard Dalton, 66, pleaded guilty to money laundering, and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Marie Dalton, 61, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud. She was sentenced to five years.

According to court documents, between 2007 and 2010, the couple’s Ponzi scheme took in $17 million from 130 investors in 13 states, promising returns on investment ranging from 60-percent to 120-percent.

Instead, the Daltons apparently used the money to buy a $900,000 home, dental work, and pay for part of their daughter’s wedding.

In November 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed an emergency civil action against the Dalton’s company, Universal Consulting Resources. Shortly thereafter the Daltons left the country,

spending a year in South Africa while evading authorities for nearly a year.

The SEC complaint characterizes many of the Dalton victims as smaller “unsophisticated” investors, who lost “significant portions of their entire savings in the program.”

Universal Consulting Resources has been ordered to return $15.8 million in illegal profits, and a hearing scheduled for next month will determine how much restitution the Daltons will need to pay.

h Murder trial under way

By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com The trial of accused murderer Corey Lopez began last week at the Jefferson County Courthouse in Golden.

The 23-year-old Lakewood man, currently in custody at the Jefferson County Jail, faces charges of first-degree murder, and attempted first-degree murder in the strangulation death of 21-year-old Lakewood resident Richelle Ann Best.

Jury selection for the trial wrapped up Friday. The jury heard opening statements and one witness was called in the afternoon.

“This is not a whodunit,” Deputy District AttorLopez ney Lisa Scanga told the jury during opening statements. “There was no one else in that apartment.”

In July of last year, Lopez called police from his apartment at 1017 Teller St. to report his girlfriend, Richelle Ann Best, was unresponsive. Police arrived and found Best dead. An autopsy revealed 40 separate injuries on Best’s body, particularly blunt force trauma to the neck area, with damage to the muscle, cartilage, vocal cords and

esophagus.

Scanga said the prosecution would present the stories of Samantha Eckendorf and Best, “two similar experiences, two very different endings.”

According to Scanga, Lopez choked both women, but Eckendorf, who dated Lopez in 2008, survived. In her opening statements, defense attorney Chantel Contiguglia spoke to the jury about how the timing of Eckendorf’s accusations, five years later, was questionable.

“You won’t hear that she (Eckendorf) called police then, you won’t hear that she tried to get a restraining order,” Contiguglia said.

Contiguglia called Best’s death “a horribly tragic accident,” caused by the couple’s drunken fall on their way to Lopez’s apartment hours earlier, and rough sex.

“It’s a stretch to say this is about murder,” Contiguglia told the court.

The prosecution has promised to bring Eckendorf to the stand to testify about Lopez’s fondness for choking, including at least one incident where she feared for her life.

For the defense, Contiguglia said an audio recording of Lopez calling 911 would demonstrate that he was emotional, and confused about Best’s death.

The trial is expected to last two weeks.

Two years in jail for 23-year-old Fatal hit-and-run case concludes

By Glenn Wallace

.com

gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com Catherine Bean, the 23-year-old Lakewood resident who turned herself in after killing a bicyclist in a hit-and-run accident while driving intoxicated, has been sentenced to two years work release at the Jefferson County Jail, and six years probation.

On Aug. 22, 2012, Kenneth W. Kienzle, 58, was

struck from behind while he rode a bicycle on South Wadsworth, south of West Ohio Avenue.

The vehicle fled the scene.

Forty minutes later Bean called police, telling them that she may have been involved in an accident.

Bean was arrested and charged with vehicular homicide, driving under the influence, careless driving, and failure to remain at the scene of an accident. At the sentencing, Kienzle’s sister, Susan Pobjoy said she has tried to rationalize his death with the knowledge that her brother never saw the danger coming, and likely did not suffer greatly, and that the donation of his organs

helped save other lives.

“But I’m just grasping at straws,” Pobjoy said.

Bean gave a brief statement of her own.

“I feel horrible for what I’ve done. I’ll accept any punishment the court gives,” Bean said.

Bean’s attorney had asked for probation.

Judge Christopher Munch said that the tragic nature of the case made sentencing difficult. He noted that Bean had never even had a speeding ticket and did not intend to kill anyone.

“But the fact is she left him to die, alone, in the street at 5 o’clock in the morning,” Munch said, before announcing the two-year jail sentence.

JEFFCO NEWS IN A HURRY Stage 1 fire restrictions

As of June 11, Jefferson County is under a Stage 1 Fire Restriction.

The fire restrictions apply to all unincorporated county land, as well as federal land within the county.

Municipalities often apply the same restrictions as the county. Golden, for instance, has also enacted the following restrictions.

The following is prohibited during a Stage 1 fire restriction: • No recreational fire that is not within a permanently constructed fire grate in a developed park area or private residence.

• No smoking, except within a vehicle, building or developed recreation site, or in a cleared area at least six feet in diameter from all combustible material.

• No use of banned fireworks.

Violation of the fire restriction can result in a $600 fine.

County commissioner town hall

As the Jefferson County Commissioners work

The wheels also bring food to the ry, me in hundreds of children in the Golden area who may not have a steady source of food during the summer.

Beginning July 1, a new program For called the Snack-n-Wagon will bring food to an estimated 100 area youth, @ providing a nutritious lunch and some entertainment. The new wagon — a converted school bus that was previously used for microbrew tours in Boulder — is an extension of the Golden Backpack Program that helps to feed 500 area students every weekend during the school year. Golden Backpack founding organizer and executive director Peggy Halderman said the organization has long recognized that while the program takes summer vacation off, hunger does not.

“The word from the community was, “We love what you do, now do it year round,’” said Halderman.

So the Backpack Program, along with its major backers in Golden Rotary and the faith-based community, started working on a summer program plan.

That was when the school bus/beer bus suddenly became available to any area nonprofit that wanted to use it.

The Golden community took the offer and got to work on converting what Halderman called “this goofy beer bus” into a mobile feeding station.

Pollinators find home at Bee Town USA Fe Gardeners, bees reap mutual benefits of hives in community garden

By Sara Van Cleve

svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com On the outskirts of the Arvada Community Garden is a large community all its own — Bee Town USA — population 180,000.

Beekeeper Greg Rye, owner and founder of Dakota Bees, created Bee Town USA at the Arvada Community Garden, 9195 W. 57th Ave., a few years ago and has expanded to hives at the Anythink Library in Denver, Thornton, Commerce City and Bennett as well as the Grey Street Garden in Lakewood.

“The purpose of Bee Town is to educate residents and gardeners,” Rye said. “It’s important to be aware of bees and help provide them with a habitat.”

All of the hives at the Arvada Community Garden, which are disguised as little buildings from a town of the past, are created with rescued bees.

“We had 50 removals last year from homes and public places,” Rye said. “All of the bees at Bee Town were rescued in some way or another.”

While Bee Town USA provides a home and a life source for the bees in terms of pollen, the bees give back to the garden, too.

About once a week Rye goes to the garden to check on the hives and harvests honey, which is given to gardeners and the Arvada Community Food Bank. The honeybees, along with native bees that live in the garden, pollinate plants within a two-mile radius of the garden, helping the plants grow better, Rye said.

There are 841 species of native bees in Colorado, many of which are facing endangerment, Rye said.

In addition to the honeybee hives, the Arvada Community Garden also has a native bee habitat, which was created out of hollowed-out wood.

The native bee wall has become home

to a variety of native bees, including bumble bees, mason bees, leaf-cutter bees and more.

A hive of leaf-cutter bees, for example, can pollinate an entire orchard on their own, Rye said. Having a beekeeper bring out hives of bees to pollinate can cost hundreds of dollars every year. Instead, farmers and gardeners can establish a hive once for a couple hundred dollars and have self-sustaining pollinators for years to come.

Rye said anyone can make a native bee habitat in their own backyard using nearly any natural material.

“Pallets can make good native bee habitats,” Rye said. “Wood, stems from sunflowers, reeds, any plant with a hollowed out stem, they can all be used to make habitats for bees.”

Feedback about Bee Town USA has been nothing but positive, Rye said, from both Arvada gardeners and visitors.

“I love to see people learn about bees and get excited,” he said. “It’s fun to watch a kid come in with his dad and watch the bees and then say,”I want to do this in our yard.’”

Children and others curious about bees can watch them in their own yard and learn more without even having to build a habitat.

Bees will flock to a mason jar with sugar water in it, Rye said, giving people a chance to watch and learn about the natural pollinators.

Rye, a carpenter by trade, began beekeeping about six years ago when he got laid off during the economic downturn.

Since then, he has learned all he can about bees and wants to share the information with others. Rye also sells beekeeping equipment and can help new beekeepers get started.

“Once I got started, I got addicted,” he said. “I love what I do.”

Bee Town USA can be visited during normal Arvada Community Garden Hours, which are available at www.arvadagardeners.org/about.php. Rye also gives tours of the hives, protective gear included, for $35 per couple.

Festival brings film experience to town Intendence Film Festival returns with 63 films, workshops and more

By Sara Van Cleve

svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com For the third year, Olde Town Arvada is home to the Intendence Film Festival, a three-day experience of 63 films from local, national and international filmmakers.

Animation, art and experimental, documentaries, features, music videos, science fiction, horror, shorts, webisodes and films done by student filmmakers are featured this year.

Filmmakers are from Colorado as well as Japan and Europe.

“We’re very fortunate with the types of films we’ve gotten,” said IFF founder and executive director Bob Webb.

“They’re amazing films. There are stories you won’t see anywhere else.”

One of those films is “A Common Man,” starring Ben Kingsley. “‘A Common Man’ surprised me when I began watching it,” Webb said.

“It’s a really interesting twist on a terrorist plot.”

“A Common Man” will play at 8 p.m. Saturday, Jun 29, at the Arvada Festival Playhouse, 5665 Olde Wadsworth Blvd.

Another talked-about film is “Sleeping with the Bear” starring Eileen Gruba.

“Sleeping with the Bear” is about a former Olympic-hopeful, Emily, having to overcome challenges and pain of a crippling accident that destroyed her leg and dreams. The short is about friends helping each other overcome life’s obstacles.

“She is a very strong advocate for handicapped actors and the film is designed to show that a great actor is a great actor whether they are handicapped or not,” Webb said.

“Sleeping with the Bear” plays at 8 p.m. Thursday, June 27, at the Festival Playhouse.

Following the screening of the film, attendees will be able to do a question and answer session via Skype with Gruba, who is currently filming on location in England.

The film festival will also feature several other question and answer sessions with filmmakers over Skype or in person.

Three workshops are also being offered during the film festival, including Film for Tweens and Teens, the Importance of Sound in Film and Acting for Adults.

The workshop for youth will focus on the best way for teens and children 10 -18 to get involved in the film industry and how to avoid scams with advice from talent agents and parents whose children are in the industry.

The tweens and teens workshop is free and is from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, June 29, at the Arvada Library, 7525 W.

57th Ave. The other two workshops are $10 each. The Importance of Sound in Film is from noon-2 p.m. Saturday, June 29, at the Arvada Tavern, 5707 Olde Wadsworth Blvd. and Acting for Adults is from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, June 29, at the Global Goods and Coffee Shop, 5613 Olde Wadsworth Blvd.

“I think what we’re providing is an experience,” Webb said. “It includes seeing films you usually don’t see, the chance to talk to the filmmakers, and it’s small enough that we can really talk to all the people involved and see what they’re about and up to. It’s an interesting fusion.”

After-parties will also be held each night after the film festival to allow attendees the chance to mingle with filmmakers and fellow attendees at venues in Olde Town.

The festival kick-off is at 5 p.m.

Wednesday, June 26, at DiCicco’s, 5660 Olde Wadsworth Blvd. The festival will close Sunday, June 30, with an award luncheon at DiCicco’s at 11 a.m.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.intendence.org or they can be purchased at the ticket booth in Olde Town Square during the festival.

Tickets range from $10-$75 with ticket options ranging from single-day passes to three-day VIP passes.

Boulder Theatre puts new spin on Land of Oz I’ve probably see “The Wizard of Oz” at least 20 times including playing the role of the Cowardly Lion in high school way back in the middle of the last century. I have never seen a more creative interpretation than the current production at Boulder’s Dinner Theatre. I can’t tell you the number of times I said to myself, “I don’t remember that part.”

BDT veteran Alicia Dunfee not only handled the roles of directorchoreographer with abundant skill, she also played the roles of Auntie Em and an apple tree.

In addition, she was frequently on stage as a member of the ensemble.

She must have had at least eight costume changes. And, she was our beverage server.

The folks at BDT are definitely not one-trick ponies.

Wayne Kennedy (The Wizard/ Professor Marvel) also did the audio design which was excellent. Matt Peters and Jessica Hindsley choreographed and performed the impressive cyclone aerial number which was a real crowd pleaser.

Sarah Grover quickly won the hearts of the audience in her inaugural BDT role as Dorothy, and one

can only hope this will be the first of many appearances on the boards in Boulder. Seth Caikowski made me proud to have once been the lion.

He had the audience in the palm of his paw, while Bob Hoppe and Scott Beyette turned in stellar performances as Tin Man and Scarecrow.

Brian Norber was perfect as the stoic Uncle Henry and his green-jeweled eyebrows only enhanced his role as the keeper of the gate at the Emerald City. He’s also a fine dinner server… but he’s a better actor. Barb Reeves took the role of Wicked Witch of the West to new heights — literally. She spent lots of time hanging onto the scaffolding. Her evil cackle brought down the house.

And, no one could be sweeter or more sparkly than Glinda, The Good Witch (Tracy Warren). She was the

essence of precious. Joanie Brosseau nearly stole the show as Nikko, one of the flying monkeys.

She had strong competition in the show-stealing department from the Children’s Ensemble, not to mention, Max the dog, who didn’t miss a single cue.

All in all, a delightful evening. Ticket sales are brisk (and no wonder).

“The Wizard of Oz” plays through Aug. 31, which will be here more quickly than you think. For tickets and information, call 303-449-6000 or visit the website atwww.bouldersdinnertheatre.com.

On the radar Phamaly Theatre Company presents “Fiddler on the Roof,” July 18Aug. 11 at The Space Theatre, Denver Center for the Performing Arts.

Phamaly veteran Mark Dissette stars at Tevye and Steve Wilson directs. Wilson says, “For me, “Fiddler on the Roof” is the quintessential statement about the strength of the human spirit.” Phamaly Theatre Company epitomizes that belief. For tickets and info: 303-893-4100 or www. phamaly.org.

Until next time, I’ll see you around town.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Volunteers at the ready when wildfires rage Unfortunately, we know the smoke all too well.

Amid dry grass and strong winds, a wildfire struck Colorado again last week, consuming more than 480 homes and leaving two dead seemingly in the blink of an eye in the Black Forest area near Colorado Springs.

Family after family grabbed photos first then bundled other treasures in an evacuation estimated at 40,000 people — about the size of the population of cities like Parker, Littleton or Northglenn.

Meanwhile, other fires continued to burn across the state.

Once again the smell of smoke reached the northern confines of our

OUR VIEW Colorado Community Media coverage area in Westminster — much like the Hayman fire of 2002, which smoke could be smelled more than 100 miles away.

We had hoped the loss of about 330 homes and property caused by that blaze would not happen again.

So here go again. Many know the drills by heart — how to help, how to stay safe, how to comfort others.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Do you agree with the Nuggets’ decision to fire Coach George Karl?

Folks who were enjoying the day on Wheat Ridge’s 38th avenue were evenly split as to whether it was in the best interest of the organization to part ways with the veteran coach.

He had cancer and he still hung tough with us and won a lot of games. What more do theyw ant?

Karen Ward

I wasn’t disappointed.

He’s always good to get to the playoffs. But, after that, we’re usually out in the first round.

Elery Kerr

He does great in the regular season, but he needed to get them over the hump. After a few years, you better do something or stuff ’s got to happen.

We heartily commend all the people, agencies and organizations that always step up so quickly to help others.

Fairground facilities and associated volunteers were so quick to take in animals, and donated food and essentials always seem to show up pronto.

We are not surprised at the energy and commitment of volunteers and firefighters — who are always at the ready. That’s Colorado.

Many of these seasoned vets also are not surprised by the wildfires, and even express surprise that wildfires don’t happen more often.

Various ways to reduce wildfires are discussed, but increased preventive mea-

sures is a talk for another time.

But for today, we simply commend all who are so ready, willing and able to help.

And for those wanting to donate or volunteer, please seek out your local agencies, or more broadly, the American Red Cross is a good place to start by visiting www.redcross.org/co/denver or calling 1-800-REDCROSS. But before reaching out with helping hands, be sure to cover your own bases too — sign up for your respective county emergency alert system, have a kit prepared for emergencies and be ready to leave quickly in case of emergency.

Safety first.

Don’t lie to me about my rights If you tweeted recently that you used your mom’s breaded pork chop recipe for dinner, blogged about your vacation in China, or posted your status to family and friends that you’re recovering from food poisoning you got at that restaurant in Tucson, chances are good that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security got your messages too.

That’s because “China,” “food poisoning,” “Tucson,” and even “pork” are among the hundreds of words and phrases included in the Department’s 2011 Analyst’s Desktop Binder, used to monitor social networking sites and online media.

Department of Homeland Security officials were forced to release the manual following a hearing in the House of Representatives over documents obtained by a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

I find it particularly ironic that we as Americans must use Freedom of Information to find out that we’re being spied upon.

Worse, it’s now even more evident that we should simply expect anything we say or write to be monitored by the government. (The National Security Agency’s clandestine collection of our phone and email records is another chilling chapter yet unfolding.)

And, although I for one am not ready to accept this systematic, ongoing, and ill-conceived surveillance, the DHS manual makes it frighteningly clear that government analysts patrol social media searching, as they say, for “terrorist and domestic threats” against the U.S. To be fair, the DHS says part of its keyword watch program is to monitor for natural disasters and weather-related emergency situations. Thus the words “tremor,” “lightning,” “blizzard,” and — horrifying to us here in Colorado yet again — “wildfire” on the list in the Analyst’s Desktop Binder. Similarly, health-related watch words include the innocuous “flu,” “wave,” and “symptoms.”

Yet beyond these broad, vague, and ambiguous words on their watch list, I wonder why the DHS doesn’t just follow 24/7/365

breaking news on the Internet for their information about emergencies.

When the first tweets about the Black Forest fire appeared, did someone at a desk in D.C. leap up to start the emergency response? If I were a betting woman, I’d put money on the fact that Colorado citizens and Colorado media sounded the alarm.

The DHS denies that attention to personal (and ostensibly private) communication is aimed at policing the Internet for disparaging remarks about the government. I do believe that nothing on the Internet is private. I also believe that my government should not be profiling my posts. Nevertheless, the DHS monitors all communication on our social sites and online media.

When government officials — who are necessarily more knowledgeable than I am about such matters — believe it’s necessary to monitor words such as “cloud,” “relief,” and “smart” in some incongruous version of Words with Friends, so be it.

Just don’t tell me that I can choose who sees what on my social sites. Don’t lie to me about what my rights actually are.

And although “privacy,” “free speech,” and “Fourth Amendment” aren’t on the DHS watch list — yet — the word “threat” is.

Which is interesting because “threat” is now at the top of my personal word watch list, right after the phrase “Bill of Rights.”

Wrigley’s Chicago Bar and Grill is hosting the James Dacan vies Memorial Golf Tournavisitment in honor of the fallen ling Lakewood police officer.

The tournament, planned ng as an annual event, will be at es the Applewood Golf Course, unty 14001 W. 32nd Ave., on Satureday and Sunday, June 22 and o 23. Tee off times begin at 7:30 a.m.

Ave., which includes lunch, two drink tickets, prizes and live music.

“We heard about officer Davies back in November, and we have a lot of Golden officers who come through here, so we were really able to relate to the event through

them,” said Skip Perry, coowner of Wrigley’s. “So we eventually thought why don’t we start an annual event to try and raise some money for the family.”

Davies, 35, was killed in the line of duty on Nov. 9, 2012. Perry said that the original idea was to raise money for Davies’ children’s college funds, but after speaking with his wife, Tami, he was encouraged to donate to Judi’s House, a non-profit organization that provides help to grieving children and families. Davies’ family has been receiving help from the organization, and so the money raised from the tournament will go to the “James Davies Scholarship Fund,” which will provide educational scholarships to children

working with Judi’s House.

“Many parties approach Judi’s House to hold similar donor driven fundraising events, which can range from large scale corporate golf tournaments to block parties organized by individual supporters,” said Ali Mabardi, development assistant with Judi’s House. “We never charge for our services, consequently donor driven events are a great way to support us in our endeavor to provide the most effective programming for the children and families who come to Judi’s House seeking a sense of normalcy and acceptance.”

Perry has reached out to businesses in Golden and Lakewood to sponsor a hole or provide prizes, and said that he has been touched by

Letter to the edItor Bicyclists and ‘Rules of the Road’ Recently Alicia Caldwell (a bicyclist herself) had a column in the Denver Post titled “Stop signs are for you, too, bicyclists.”

It is wonderful to see all the bicyclists getting their exercise and enjoying the great outdoors, but they need to follow all the ‘Rules of the Road.’

I recently completed an AARP Driver Safety course where the instructor told us to watch out for

‘youngsters’ on bicycles as they do not yet know the ‘rules of the road.’

My reaction was that many ‘adult’ bicyclists don’t seem to know the ‘rules of the road’ either. All motorists and motorcyclists need to know them and pass a test in order to get a license to drive on the roads.

I believe all bicyclists, young and old, should be required to do the same, and then be required to purchase a license plate to display on their bikes.

Then as they are seen riding four abreast, ignoring stop signs, speeding and ignoring other road rules their license plate numbers could be reported. If they use the roads they should also pay to use them. They should be ticketed and fined just as others are for not following the ‘rules.’

Then we would all be safer on our roads.

GoLden cIty councIL on the record Golden City Council voted on the following legislation during its June 13 meeting. Council members in attendance were Mayor Marjorie Sloan, Mayor Pro Tem Joe Behm, District 1 Councilor Saoirse Charis-Graves, District 2 Councilor Marcie Miller, Ward 1 Councilor Marcia Claxton, Ward 3 Bob Vermeulen, and Ward 4 Councilor Bill Fisher.

Hearing set for growth ordinance change

As part of the council’s consent calendar, the council members voted 7-0 to set a public hearing date of July 11 regarding proposed changes to the city’s 1-percent growth ordinance.

The proposed changes include an

end to senior housing exemptions in 2014 while adding more flexibility for potential developers in proximity to the new light rail station.

Councilor Behm said anyone, particularly those who own property or a business in the downtown area, should pay close attention to the process.

downtown development Authority

CdoT agreement signing

As part of the consent agenda, the council gave unanimous approval to set a public hearing at their July 11 council meeting to finalize the language of the two Downtown Development Authority proposals to place on November 2013 ballot. The first proposal will establish the DDA, if passed by voters. The second proposal would enable a property tax of “up to five mills” on properties within the authority’s boundaries.

Council was also given the news that their long-fought effort to reach an agreement with CDOT would be the subject of a public signing ceremony at the Golden City Council’s July 11 meeting.

The agreement with CDOT formalizes long-term plans for U.S. Highway 6 and Highway 93.

The next council meeting is 6:30 p.m. July 11, at Golden City Hall.

“We have businesses sponsoring a hole, which is $200, but we also have a lot of small businesses that are donating things like quilting classes or meals, and that’s great as well,” he said.

Perry said they will start planning next year’s tournament as soon as this one wraps up.

ket value will bring for your home. The old adage in real estate is that you do not make money when you sell a house you make money if you buy it at the right price. I also recommend that a certified home stager stage all homes before photos and hitting the MLS. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house?

Hire a competent agent to represent you…though it is easy to find houses online, it’s hard to negotiate and get through the storm of paperwork and deadlines without professional assistance.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

We get to see it all! We have seen immaculate homes up to $2 and 3 Million that wow and impress, down to the shanty and stinky! The funniest/most unusual house was a time when I showed a 1975 brick ranch in Lakewood that was ALL original.

It had near-perfect burnt orange shag carpet, which ran up the walls to the ceiling, pristine iron and orange stained glass light fixtures with swagged chains draped from the ceilings. There was this huge wet bar perfectly preserved from the 70’s with dark wood wainscoting and orange countertops… it was classic…the clients and I laughed and ooh’d and aww’d the whole tour. I will never forget it!

How long have you lived in the area?

Money Matters:

Ac A Ju

What is a PMI and will I need it?

P

rimary mortgage insurance, or PMI, protects lenders in the event that borrowers default on their primary mortage by ceasing to make payments, resulting in homes ending up in foreclosure.

But all borrowers do not have to pay PMI. Typically, home buyers must make a 20 percent down payment on a home when they buy it.

However, some borrowers are unable to put down 20 percent. In such instances, the lender will require they

pay PMI. This is because the lender views a borrower who cannot make an initial 20 percent down payment as a riskier investment, and lenders charge PMI in an effort to protect themselves should the borrower prove worthy of their skepticism.

PMI will be factored into the monthly mortgage payment, but borrowers should know they do not have to continue paying PMI once they have paid enough toward the principal amount of the loan.

8 Little 303

acad

APC

For most, this means once they have paid 20 percent of the principal, then they can ask that the monthly PMI payment be removed.

Many borrowers are unaware of this or even forget to ask, but it’s within their rights as borrowers and can save a substantial amount of money over the course of the mortgage loan. ■

Brazilian lemonade Directions

Ingredients -2 limes -1/2 cup sugar -3 cups water -ice

California Grilled Veggie Sandwich Ingredients

Directions

-1/4 cup mayonnaise -1 tablespoon lemon juice

1. In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside in the refrigerator.

-1/8 cup olive oil

2. Preheat the grill for high heat.

-1 cup sliced red bell peppers

3. Brush vegetables with olive oil on each side. Brush grate with oil. Place bell peppers and zucchini closest to the middle of thegrill, and set onion and squash pieces around them.

5. Spread some of the mayonnaise mixture on the cut sides of the bread, and sprinkle each one with feta cheese. Place on the grill cheese side up, and cover with lid for 2 to 3 minutes. This will warm the bread, and slightly melt the cheese. Watch carefully so the bottoms don’t burn.

4. Cook for about 3 minutes, turn, and cook for another 3 minutes.

The peppers may take a bit longer.

6. Remove from grill, and layer with the vegetables. Enjoy as open faced grilled sandwiches.

-3 cloves garlic, minced

-1 small zucchini, sliced -1 red onion, sliced -1 small yellow squash, sliced -2 (4-x6-inch) focaccia bread pieces, split horizontally -1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

-3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk

1. Wash limes thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice into eight wedges.

Place limes in a blender with the sugar, sweetened condensed milk, water, and ice.

2. Blend in an electric blender, pulsing 5 times. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove rinds. Serve over ice.

Remove from grill, and set aside.

Grilled Fruit Kabobs Ingredients -1/2 cup marga-3 fresh peaches, rine pitted and quartered -1/4 cup honey -3 fresh plums, pit-3 bananas, cut into 4 pieces each ted and quartered -12 strawberries, hulled

-12 skewers

Directions 1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and place a large sheet of foil onto the grate.

BlueBerry Buckle IngredIents

Method

For the cake:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease an 8-inch springform pan. Set aside.

2. Sift together the 2 cups of flour, the baking powder and the salt. Set aside. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Beat in the egg. Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the milk. Toss the beries with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour (to separate and scatter evenly throughout the batter) and fold in. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Set aside.

3. Combine ingredients for topping with a fork to make crumbly mixture. Sprinkle this over the batter.

MAKING PROGRESS

THURSDAY/JUNE 20

Welchester Elementary School second-grade teacher Kira Jones, left, was given a $250 check last week by Golden Schools Foundation representative Jessica Henley as part of the foundation’s teacher appreciation program. A total of five Golden-area teachers received the recognition awards, helping to fund new supplies and teaching materials for their classrooms. According to her award nomination, at the beginning of this year, Jones found that only six of her 23 students were reading at grade level. With her focus on literacy, and by filling her classroom with books, she now has 19 students reading at or above grade level, with another two on the verge of passing.

ace-high Tavern a golden favorite If you are a longtime resident of Golden you have seen the city go through a lot of changes over the years but one of the truly special things about our town is how it can embrace changes but still retain it’s small town character and keep it’s historic flavor.

Washington Avenue, this column’s namesake, is the prime example of what I’m talking about. I have seen it change in so many ways over the years but it is still the same main street and focal point of Golden.

Avenue Flashes started as a column giving little snippets of information about the daily downtown bustle of Washington Avenue and over 100 years later, those same few blocks are still the center point and the heart of Golden.

Of course a few things from my childhood memory book have gone away.

One thing the old timers will remember is that up until the early 1970s there were actually hitching rails for horses along the street and it was not uncommon to see horses “parked” there. The movie theater, candy store, dime stores, corner grocers, pharmacies, lumber yard, hardware store and assorted other essentials have either vanished or moved to a different location, but they have been replaced with really great new shops, galleries and restaurants that have breathed a new life into a very old street.

But one place that has remained for decades is the Ace-Hi Tavern. It’s gone through a few changes and owners over the years, but it’s still pretty much the same as it has always been, the downtown local bar where everybody knows your name — and what you drink, too.

Back in the days gone by it was the place where older local people gathered after work, and most of the guys wore cowboy hats and boots. Nowadays it’s got a more vibrant atmosphere and is filled with a mixture of college students as well as those of us with some gray hair and always has some kind of special going for the night.

My favorite thing to do was to grab a beer and sit out on the front sidewalk patio. It was a great place to people-watch

and see what was going on in town, as it’s situated right in the middle of it all. But a few years ago, for various reasons, the patio was removed so I had to find a different vantage point. Well, this summer it’s back!

They just opened up a new patio and it’s even nicer than before.

But, there are also a few changes to note. First off, it is only open until 11:00 p.m., but they may extend that to midnight on the weekends. Also, there is no smoking on the patio.

As I mentioned, it’s the kind of place where you get to know everyone. The one person everyone knows is the bar manager, Bonnie Arledge. She’s always there with a smile for you, and her husband, Ben, loved to hang out there, too. Sadly, Ben Arledge passed away suddenly on June 11 and those of us who have gone to the Ace-Hi for years will always feel like there is an empty stool there.

So many of us in Golden have grown to know Bonnie that I wanted to take a moment to send my condolences to her and her family.

This summer, take a night, head downtown to Washington Avenue and check out all the sidewalk patios and cafés. You can eat, drink and even get ice cream all within a three block walk.

It’s part of what makes Golden a great place to live.

Eye of the beholder Art exhibits at Arvada Center challenge viewers perception

olors, lines and patterns are some of the basic building blocks of art, but so much can be accomplished with these three elements.

New exhibits at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., all examine the ways artists use these elements to intrigue and exercise the eye.

Perception: Color │ Line │ Pattern collects the works of 21 artists who experiment with these elements. Victor Vasarely — Works on paper and Yaacov Agam — Works on paper, take a look at two masters of the craft. All three exhibits run through Aug. 25 in If you go the Center’s three galleries.

Both Vasarely and Agam are fathers WHAT: Perception: of the “op” art movement, which Color, Line, Pattern, Victor sprung out of the abstract and miniVasarely - Works on Paper, malist styles, hitting its peak in the Yaacov Agam - Works on 1960s, according to curatorial assistant Paper Kristin Bueb.

WHERE: Arvada Center, “I really connect the op movement 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., with the kinetic movement because Arvada they both rely on movement in unique WHEN: Through Aug. 25, ways,” said Arvada Center exhibition Monday through Friday - 9 manager and curator Collin Parson. a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday “We received the works from collector 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday David Goodman, and this collection - 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. has never been shown before.”

Parson noted that both Vasarely and COST: Free Agam were painters, and what is on INFORMATION: 720display is screen prints of their works.

Bueb said that both artists were inarvadacenter.org. terested in using colors, lines and patterns to create a new artistic language — a goal Vasarely succeed in with his “Alphabet Plastique.” In this language, colors and shapes — the alphabet’s letters — are manipulated to create unique works that go beyond two dimensions.

The work of both men require the viewer to move as they look at the works to get the full effect of each piece. Many of the works leap out at the viewer, and what can be seen in the art will change as the viewer’s perspective does.

The influence of Vasarely and Agam can still be found in modern art, and has branched out into the fashion world, as well.

“We have some examples of fashion influenced by Vasarely’s designs on display,” Bueb said. “Even as recently as this year, you can still see they way the fashion world has used his designs.”

To compliment the Vasarely and Agam exhibits, the Perception exhibition brings together 21 artists and spans 63 years (the oldest work is from 1951). According to Parson, many of the perception art pieces came out of the first hippie communes and counter-culture centers.

The pieces vary in style and medium, from images that give the appearance of 3D, to 3D works that give the appearance

Fifteen Denver-area chefs were fired up June 12 to compete for top slider honors during the fifth annual Hot Rocks Griller Challenge at Elway’s Cherry Creek, a benefit for the Denver Health Foundation.

Roughly 1,000 attendees scarfed down sliders made from between-the-bun ingredients that varied from wild boar (Elise Wiggins, Panzano) to country ham with pickled green tomato (Jennifer Jasinski, Rioja, Bistro Vendome, Euclid Hall) to grilled watermelon (Paul Reilly, Beast + Bottle).

The winners of the slider smackdown were determined by popular vote as well as chefs’ choice.

People’s choice: First — Tyler Wiard and Aniedra Nichols of Elway’s Cherry Creek.

Second — Troy Guard of TAG, TAG Raw Bar and TAG Burger Bar. Third — Steve Ballas of Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs.

Chefs’ choice: First — Troy Guard.

Second — Max MacKissock of Squeaky Bean.

Third — Jennifer Jasinski of Rioja, Bistro Vendome and Euclid Hall.

Worth noting: I’ve attended all five Hot Rocks events, and this year the chefs kicked it up a notch on the side dishes that accompanied the sliders.

Standouts included Guard’s five-grain salad, Robert Bogart’s (Elway’s Downtown) potato and black bean salad (I heard one slider slurper say, “I wish I could buy that stuff!”), Reilly’s braised collard greens and Jasinski’s mixed melon salad.

Did the Paramount Theatre, downtown Denver’s historical performance center, change its name to Paramount New York? It did for one day.

On June 12, Hollywood moved east to the Mile High City to shoot the feature film “Dear Eleanor,” starring Jessica Alba, Luke Wilson, Paul Johansson, Ione Skye, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Isabelle Fuhrman.

The production caused quite a stir among downtown workers and passersby who spotted the new name on the marquee as well as all the vintage automobiles parked along Glenarm Place.

The storyline follows two best friends who travel cross-country in the 1960s to meet Eleanor Roosevelt, their childhood hero.

Other Denver venues playing cameo roles in the movie are LoDo and the Mayan Theater. One local notable who landed a part in the film is Rekha Ohal, the exotic and lovely piano player who is a regular at Elway’s Cherry Creek.

Ohal posted on her Facebook page: “My gig today: playing the part of a piano player in 1962 for a movie that’s being filmed in Denver. At least I know how to play the piano! The rest I’ll have to figure out as I go along.”

Thanks to community support, Williams received his “dream car,” a 1972 Chevy Chevelle, before his death in March. Austin’s pristine Chevelle will be one of 200 spectacular cars on display from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Tickets are $10 (14 years and over), $5 (7-13) and kids under 6 are free. Purchase tickets at www.dtcchamber.com or call 303-290-9922. Tickets include access to sample food, micro-brews and beverages from some of Denver’s top restaurants and micro-breweries.

“When we first were introduced to Austin and his family, we, like everybody, were inspired by the passion they had for cars and for helping other families,” said DTC|Greenwood Village Chamber CEO John Herbers.

Dancing the night away

Do you love dancing, like I do? Then Arvada Center is the place to be on June 27, when five Colorado dance companies perform at DanceFest at the facility at 6901 N. Wadsworth Blvd. You’ll enjoy the creative dance talents of 7dancers, Fiesta Colorado, Hannah Kahn Dance Company, Kim Robards Dance and Wonderbound. All five dance groups will perform in a finale.

Pork holds court

Beggin’ for bacon?

Back for its third year, the Blue Ribbon Bacon Tour comes sizzling back to Keystone from 1 to 6 p.m. June 22 and 23.

Bacon lovers can pork out on pounds of bacon and bacon-inspired cuisine accompanied by free live music from Hamilton Loomis, the Steeldrivers and Hell’s Belles.

Wash down the royal piggy with Bacon Bloody Marys or cucumber vodka ice tea.

To quote the BRBT organizers, “Much like the Crusaders revolutionized the lives of Europeans by introducing a large variety of spices from the East, The Blue Ribbon Bacon Tour travels to places like Colorado to transform the lives of bacon lovers by introducing a variety of bacons and baconinspired dishes from around the world. Of course, we like to do all this while tossing back a few cold beers!”

Cima out, Maya in

Renowned chef Richard Sandoval, who heads an international restaurant empire which includes Tamayo, Zengo, Al Lado and La Sandia in Denver, repositioned his culinary presence at The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa at Beaver Creek Mountain, and recently opened Maya in place of the more upscale Cima.

Golf course second to none in experience Course is celebrating 20th anniversary this August

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com LAKEWOOD — Five minutes from Red Rocks and just 15 minutes from downtown Denver sits one of Colorado’s best golf courses.

Fox Hollow, the Lakewood municipal golf course that feels and looks more like a private golf club, has just wrapped up its second decade of overwhelming success.

The golf course is celebrating its 20th anniversary this August and although Fox Hollow has been challenging Colorado golfers since 1993, if you come to the course for the first time you may think it’s brand new.

“The trees are certainly all 20 years older but we like to think Fox Hollow is always continuing to stay modernized,” Fox Hollow head professional Craig Parzybok said.

“We want the course to be as welcoming and inviting to our guests as possible.”

Not satisfied with just 18 holes? Well, Fox Hollow offers three different and very unique nine hole experiences.

The Canyon: Negotiate a challenging plunge down narrow Coyote Gulch, including Fox Hollow’s signature fifth hole. This 445-yard, par 4 hole includes an 80-foot elevation drop from the end of the fairway to the green.

The Meadow: Swing into this streamside nine, where Bear Creek and other water hazards sparkle amid ancient cottonwood trees.

The Links: Unwind on a Scottish-style nine set against a sweeping vista of the Rocky Mountain foothills rising steeply to the west.

With five sets of tees, golfers of every ability will feel at home. Fox Hollow was one of the first golf courses in the nation designed to be completely accessible to golfers with disabilities.

“With our five sets of tees you can come out here and play a very long course for the big hitters, but you can also play a small course if you wish,” Parzybok said.

In addition, your round of golf could potentially turn into a wildlife viewing area.

Just moments from the Rocky Mountains, Fox Hollow is also known to host a variety of wildlife.

“Fox Hollow is hands down one of the best public courses around Denver,” said Tom Craine, a Fox Hollow regular. “The scenery is second to none, there is great value and you have three different courses to choose from.

In 1994 Golf Digest nationally recognized and awarded Fox Hollow as the No. 2 “Best New Course in America,” and Golf Digest and Colorado Golf magazines have consistently recognized Fox Hollow as a “Top 10 Public Golf Course in Colorado.”

It also features an award-winning clubhouse. The City of Lakewood also maintains Homestead Golf Course. A very popular course in its own right, Homestead is one of two Lakewood golf courses with magnificent views of downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountains.

Fox Hollow and Homestead offer a unique mix of terrain types and course challenges. Nestled next to Bear Creek Lake Park and the Rocky Mountain foothills, both courses offer an opportunity for escape and relaxation with tranquil lakes, quiet streams and spectacular vistas.

Fox Hollow Golf Course is located on Morrison Road a half mile west of Kipling Parkway and 3 1/2 miles east of C470 in Lakewood.

Hole No. 9 on the Meadows course at Fox Hollow is the perfect ending to a challenging round of golf.

rMAC Football Media Day set for August Cross country, swimming and diving also honored for academics

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com GOLDEN - Summer is nearly in full swing but the football season is also just around the corner.

Colorado School of Mines head football coach Bob Stitt will address the media as part of the eighth annual RMAC Football Media Day, which is set for Monday, Aug. 5, at the Colorado Springs Marriott Hotel.

Each of RMAC’s 10 head coaches will take questions about the upcoming season between 10 a.m. and 11:45 a.m.

The 2013 RMAC Football Preseason Coaches poll and awards will be released on August 5. The Orediggers concluded the 2012 campaign with a 6-5 record and a 4-5 mark in the RMAC.

MINES ATHLETES HONORED FOR ACADEMICS

academic team in each of the conference’s 21 sports.

Backed by a conference-leading six

RMAC First Team All-Academic selections, Mines men’s swimming and diving, the No. 2-ranked CSCAA Scholar All-America team, totaled a collective 3.32 GPA. The Orediggers’ women’s cross country team featured a team GPA of 3.65, fourthhighest across all sports.

Only student-athletes who used a season of competition during the 2012-13 school year were considered.

The total quality points for both semesters divided by the total number of credits for both semesters determined the team GPA. Team GPAs were submitted to the RMAC office by each school’s director of compliance.

Plaques for each team will be presented at the 2013 RMAC Hall of Fame and Awards banquet on Friday, July 12, at the Colorado Springs Marriott Hotel.

The award is named after Paul W. Brechler, the first Commissioner of the RMAC (1976-90), who along with his wife, Wanda, were the first inductees into the RMAC Hall of Fame.

Brechler previously served as athletic director at the University of Iowa and was Commissioner of the Western Athletic Conference.

Postseason failures meant Karl had to go George “The Animal” Steele was a professional wrestler and a bald-headed maniac.

He had these crazy, unorthodox ring antics that would confuse the heck out of his opponents — especially during his fits of rage where he would use his mouth to rip the stuffing out of a turnbuckle.

Steele’s bizarre behavior endeared him to a generation of wrestling fans. And I thought of him while I was watching another George — Karl, that is — coach his Denver Nuggets against the Minnesota Timberwolves earlier this year.

When Nuggets guard Ty Lawson got called for a ridiculous foul, George “The Coach” Karl when ballistic in a way that would have made George “The Animal” blush. Arms flailing, his balding head turning beet red, Karl shoved his own players and assistant coaches out of his way during an epic, obscenity-laced tirade aimed at one of the referees.

The whole thing really should have been played out in a steel cage instead of on a basketball court.

It was a sight to see. And no one throws a fit quite like Karl.

We won’t see Furious George on the Nuggets sideline any more. He was fired earlier this month.

And while I’ll miss Karl’s theatrics, Nuggets president Josh Kroenke was right to put the sleeper hold on George’s tenure in Denver.

Yes, Karl has won a whole lot of games in his 25-year NBA head coaching career.

He’s amassed more than 1,100 regularseason wins and has gone 21 straight years without having a losing record.

Under Karl, the Nuggets won 423 games and made the playoffs in each of his nine seasons.

That success included this season’s 57 regular-season-win team, a feat that earned Karl Coach of the Year honors.

The Nuggets were a high-octane machine under Karl and were one of the youngest and most exciting teams in the NBA. They may not have had a superstar, but they had incredible depth at every position.

So, Karl did some very good things in Denver.

But a funny thing happens to Karl’s Nuggets every postseason. They lose — a lot.

When the Nuggets lost to Golden State last month, it became the eighth time in

6) In 2013, Mikaela Shiffrin became the

nine seasons that Denver exited the first round of the playoffs under Karl’s leadership.

And, according to ESPN Stats and Information, 41 teams in the history of the NBA won at least 31 of their final 40 regular-season games in an 82-game season. Of those teams, only six of them lost in the first round of the playoffs. Karl coached three of those squads.

Oh, sure. Nuggets ball is a blast in the regular season. They score a whole lot of points and all their fans get tacos.

But trying to play Taco Tempo in the postseason only leads to a heck of a lot of heartburn.

Good teams pack the paint against Denver, forcing the Nuggets to play a half-court game. Without quality shooters, Denver — already The Team That Couldn’t Shoot Straight — becomes a clueless gang of Sixth Men. And the Nuggets didn’t just lose to Golden State, they got lit up like a kite being flown by Benjamin Franklin.

They couldn’t stop Stephen Curry. Heck, the Nuggets couldn’t stop Ann Curry. Denver gave up 100 or more points against the Warriors four times that series, including a 131-point disaster in Game Two. And how did Karl respond to what the underdog Warriors threw at his Nuggets team? What were his adjustments? I dunno.

I still don’t know what Karl was up to that series.

Karl’s coaching against Golden State reminded me of the scene in Mel Brooks’ “History of the World Part I,” where penniless Frenchmen tried to sell everything from rats to apple cores during the heartless reign of King Louis XVI, just before the French Revolution occurred.

“Nothing,” one vagabond shouted to passersby. “I got absolutely nothing for sale!”

And he actually stood next to a sign that said so.

George Karl had absolutely nothing against Golden State. The only thing missing was the sign.

I admire the courage that Karl showed during his two fights with cancer. He’s a survivor and I admire his refusal to let cancer win.

And, like George “The Animal” Steele, Karl was fun to watch. And Nuggets games at the Pepsi Center were must-see events.

George Steele put fans in the seats, too.

But his style never amounted to anything beyond that of a novelty act.

And now, after yet another Nuggets postseason collapse under Karl, fans are left with a bad taste in their mouths — one that tastes an awful lot like turnbuckle stuffing.

Jeffco Stadium’s renovations under way Longtime state track meet host getting revamped

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews. com LAKEWOOD — Jeffco Stadium is getting a makeover.

The host of 29 of the last 31 high school track and field state championships is getting a new track after 16 years, as well as a couple other renovations.

Construction started last month and competition is expected before the start of the football season.

“We consider ourselves as one of the premiere high school stadiums so it is important to continue to maintain the stadium at the highest level,” said Ezra Paddock, manager of stadium operations The near 60-year-old stadium’s track is getting updated with the latest in track & field technology.

While the stadium just successfully hosted yet another CHSAA Track & Field State Championship, the track itself was one past its 15 year expiration date.

No injuries or problems were reported regarding the old track, but there was some natural wear

Jeffco Stadium has been the center for all things high school track and field for 29 of the last 31 state championships. Photos by Daniel Williams and tear.

The stadium’s track was stripped of its surface and any of the near foot thick asphalt that needs to be patched will be repaired.

The new surface that will be put onto the course is known as the “sandwich system.”

It basically has a base, or a pad, so water doesn’t pass through it.

The top layer is then coated

with a structural spray, translating to the new track lasting twice as long and also being softer on athlete’s bodies.

“I think there are going to be some records broken in the next

state tournament,” Paddock said. “This track will definitely be faster.”

The company doing the construction is Renner Sports Surfaces, the same company that installed the last track 16 years ago.

In addition, the stadium is also having a drainage issue on the west side of the stadium dealt with. A giant trench along the front of the home crowd stands has already been dug.

“It was draining very slowly so in any big weather event we would have standing water. So this will be a dream maintenance-wise,” Paddock said.

Finally, the stadium is getting conduit and power underneath the track for the first time.

“In the era if digital timing everything is done with a camera at the finish line. We used to have to wire overhead and will no long have to do that ,” Paddock said.

Jeffco Stadium hosts 20 to 30 track meets a year, as well as 4A and 5A Jeffco high school football games.

Paddock and his maintenance team of about 10 people also handle Trailblazer Stadium, Lakewood Memorial Field and North Area Athletic Complex.

Pomona’s Klatt to leave state for Fox Sports 1 Athlete turned radio personality will soon turn into TV star

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com ARVADA — Pomona’s own Joel Klatt has officially hit the big-time.

Not that the former Colorado Buffaloes starting quarterback wasn’t always a regional star.

But now the rest of the nation will soon get to know Klatt as he will leave Colorado to join Fox’s new national sports network “Fox Sports 1” starting in July.

Klatt was a multi-sport star at Pomona before going to University of Colorado where he was the program’s first three-year starter since Kordell Stewart.

Klatt went on to play in the Padres’ minor league system, as well as the NFL for a stint with the New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions.

After his playing days, Klatt has since worked in sports talk radio for a few different stations in town, before taking a job with Root Sports, where he is a part of the Colorado Rockies on air team.

The definition of an all-American boy who made it big, Klatt caught the eye of Fox Sports who quickly locked him up to a multi-year deal.

Already having experience calling college football games from the broadcast booth for FSN Rocky Mountain, Root Sports and Fox, Klatt was a natural fit for the job.

But that also means Klatt will be forced to move his family out of Colorado and to Los Angeles.

Klatt said he doesn’t know what his exact role will be with Fox Sports 1, but it may include work as a studio host

and also being a presence in college football booths.

Klatt’s move will happen July 1 and Fox Sports 1. The outlet is being launched as a direct competition to ESPN. Fox Sports 1 has already hired over 200 sportscasters and personalities, and will debut Aug. 17.

Joel was coached by his father, Gary Klatt, the head coach at Pomona High School. As a junior on defense he had four interceptions playing in the secondary, helping the team to a 10-3 record, winning the Jeffco league championship.

As a senior at quarterback, Klatt was 78-125 passes (62.4 percent) for 1,250 yards and 16 touchdowns leading the team to a 5-5 record and earning second-team all-state honors.

He also played basketball (three-time letterman) at guard and baseball primarily at shortstop earning firstteam all-state his senior year and helped his team to runner-up in the state tournament.
