Wilderness comes alive at Fly’n B Nature camp educates kids on past, present By Ryan Boldrey

Carter St. Clair holds up one of many dinosaur artifacts brought to the Highlands Ranch Metro District’s Youth Summer Camp on July 9 at Fly’n B Park.

How fast does a bear run? How long can a turtle hold its breath? Which came first, the chicken or the dinosaur? These questions and more were explored last week by 16 local youngsters as part of the Highlands Ranch Metro District’s annual nature camp. Each day of the five-day camp at Fly’n B Park was themed, filled with hands-on exploration and education. The group opened the week with “Animal Awesomeness Day,” in which they studied the traits of various animals native to Colorado and then compared their own abilities to those animals, whether it was speed, strength or the ability to hold one’s breath for a really long time like a turtle. The following day, the group was treated to a special visit from Doug DeCounter of Dinosaur Ridge in Morrison. DeCounter shared a variety of dinosaur bones and casts with the kids, while educating them on the local history of the prehistoric creatures. “A little-known fact that many people don’t know is that the first triceratops re-

mains were discovered right here in Denver in 1891,” DeCounter said. “Most of the dinosaur was found near 13th and Federal, near where the Broncos now play, but since the skull was found in Wyoming, Wyoming gets the credit.” DeCounter put in perspective just how big some of the dinosaurs were as he had the kids stretch out a measuring tape 100 feet. “I knew they were big, but I didn’t know they were that big,” said Trey Burns, 10, who called the camp the highlight of his summer. Burns’ favorite day of the week was the July 10 fishing day. With seven years of experience under his belt with a reel and rod, he said his favorite person to go fishing with was his grandfather. He said he wished that there were more fish in the pond and that there were more laws in place so that people don’t disturb the wildlife. The campers also got a visit from Douglas County Search and Rescue on July 11 — as team members led a course in wilderness survival — and a presentation from Wild Wings Environmental Education that featured live owls on July 12. The camp, an annual affair, is held twice each summer for children ages 7-10.

The Sterling Ranch planned development has been unanimously approved for the second time in three years by the Douglas County commissioners. With the July 10 approval, the project — which calls for a 12,000-home community located on 3,400 acres northeast of Roxborough State Park and south of the Chatfield Community Association — hopes to break ground by the end of 2013. “After six-plus years of hearings, I’m thrilled,” said Harold Smethills, Sterling Ranch managing director. “Everybody’s been heard and the commissioners made their decision. So now it’s onward to building homes, and we’re ready to go.” The development, which will remain 37 percent open space, has plans for 30 miles of trails, multiple parks and wildlife corridors, a multi-field athletic complex, a hospital, fire services, schools, and a town center patterned after Littleton’s historic downtown. “This development sets an example for future developments to come down the road,” said Sterling Ranch attorney Gil McNeish, citing mitigation plans, open space preservation and water conservation techniques, such as rainwater harvesting, that are all part of the development’s master plan. About a dozen opponents, who were either Chatfield or Roxborough residents, spoke out against the project at the 4½hour hearing. Most spoke against the detriment the project would have on their rural way of life, and expressed concerns over the development having enough water secured to move forward. “I think that the Board of County Commissioners has a fiduciary duty to the citizens of Douglas County and not the develRanch continues on Page 12

Ice cream social a time for community Relay for Life benefits from event, signs up participants By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com It was the perfect evening for ice cream, and a great time to help a great cause as more than 1,000 people flocked to Civic Green Park for the annual Highlands Ranch Metro District Ice Cream Social. There was face-painting, live music and dancing, games, vendors, a demonstration by Littleton Fire and Rescue and, of course, lots of ice cream and conversation.

Proceeds from the July 10 event totaled $3,491, all of which went to benefit the American Cancer Society on behalf of the upcoming Highlands Ranch-Lone Tree Relay for Life. There were Relay committee members on hand to sign up and educate folks for the 12-hour event slated for July 26-27 at Cresthill Middle School. As the American Cancer Society celebrates its 100th birthday this year, the local Relay for Life event is entering its 15th go-round. This year looks like the biggest yet, with 36 teams already signed up, said Chairwoman Dana Hall. “We are very excited,” Hall said. “Relay for Life is all about representing cancer and how it does not sleep. We provide an opportunity for people to come out and for 12 hours, either as a team, solo, or as a couple, walk the track at Cresthill Middle School. “All the money we raise goes to support American Cancer Society and their research and programs for our actual community.” The event kicks off at 6 p.m. July 26, and Hall said people don’t have to sign up in advance, but it is $10 to participate in the relay. “There is no minimum or maximum for fundraising, just come and enjoy the crowd,” she said. “This year we have secured food sponsorships for the entire event, so every hour on the hour there will

We are also expanding the event for children, so we will have a much broader event schedule for children.” The event begins with a survivor’s lap and is followed by a lap for all participants. There is a luminaria ceremony in which loved ones who have died from cancer are honored by lit bags around the track, and there will also be plenty of fun, social activities to keep people going through the night, such as Zumba and a talent show. For the relay portion of the event, just

one teammate needs to be on the track at any given time for each team throughout the course of the night. “There are still opportunities for lap sponsorships for those who are interested,” said sponsorship chairman Rob Mangelson. “By sponsoring a lap, businesses are allowed to set up a booth for a full hour.” For more information or to sign up as a sponsor or participant, please visit www. rflhr-lt.org, or contact Hall at dana@rflhrlt.org. Cresthill Middle School is located at 9195 Cresthill Lane in Highlands Ranch.

Highlands Ranch nearly built out Public-use plot, park space are only sites left to convey By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com Shea Homes has completed all but two of its longstanding commitments to the community of Highlands Ranch. With only a single plot left to convey for public use near Town Center, 198 acres of park space

left to convey to the metro district, and most of the commercial and residential development done, the community is 94 percent built out. What the remaining public-use plot — located across from Ridgeline Boulevard from Civic Center Park, just north of the Park-n-Ride parking lot — will look like remains to be seen, said Steve Ormiston, vice president of planning for Shea Homes. “The master plan for the town center included a variety of uses,” he said. “It was the Park-n-Ride that

RTD operates, the library, Civic Green Park, and there was one piece of ground set aside for public community use.” One of the things that had been envisioned for that space was a performing arts center, he said, but after the Enhance the Ranch vote to fund a center with tax revenue was shot down in 2002, Parker and Lone Tree both took similar projects to the polls and have since given Douglas County a pair of arts centers, making it less likely that Highlands Ranch will get one. “There is currently no activity on that space,” Ormiston said.

“It will eventually be conveyed to somebody for some form of public service.” Ormiston, who presented an annual update on the community to the Douglas County commissioners July 9, said that to date the company has conveyed a total of 12,702 acres of land for open space. That land has been given in part to the county, the Highlands Ranch Community Association and the Highlands Ranch Metro District. “We anticipate that perhaps next year we will convey the final

County gets WISE about water Officials aim to secure leftover renewable acre-feet By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcolorado news.com Douglas County is diving into the water game. With an eye on the leftover water made available to the 10 members of the Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency Partnership, the county commissioners signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Denver Water, Aurora Water and the WISE Partnership to negotiate for the rights to 2,725 acre-feet of renewable water per year. Through the initial agreement, Aurora Water and Denver Water will provide 7,275 acre-feet of fully treated water annually to the 10 WISE participants and deliver it in phases, starting in 2016.

‘If we don’t put a placeholder on this water, it will be lost.’ Tim Murrell, water resource planner for Douglas County

The 10 entities — who are all part of the larger South Metro Water Supply Authority — have agreed to fund new infrastructure that will move the water from Aurora’s Binney Water Purification Facility to its end locations. The caveat was that Aurora and Denver made 10,000 acre-feet per year available, leaving 2,725 acre-feet available. “If we don’t put a placeholder on this water, it will be lost,” said Tim Murrell, the county’s water resource planner.

“Both Denver and Aurora were pretty clear that this is a one-time deal, that they are not going to come back and offer more water again.” The county has until Dec. 31 to iron out an option agreement with Aurora, Denver and WISE that Murrell says will involve negotiating a reservation fee, a time frame, a method of delivery for the water, and who the recipients of the water will be. Once that agreement is in place, it will come back in front of the county commissioners for final approval. “We wanted to make sure that the difference between the amount of water that the water providers have subscribed to and the amount available through the WISE project does not go away,” said Commis-

sioner Jill Repella. While the county itself is not a water provider, it appears to be making a concerted effort to help regional users transition from nonrenewable to renewable water. “I think this is a wonderful role for the county to play,” said Eric Hecox, executive director of SMWSA. “The option really helps the region in two ways. “One, it helps potentially secure renewable water for providers and individual well-users that aren’t part of the WISE project. Two, it potentially helps secure needed water for those that are part of the WISE project that those providers just can’t finance at the current time.” The 10 WISE participants include Centennial Water and Sanitation District, Cottonwood Water and Sanitation District, Dominion Water and Sanitation District, Inverness Water and Sanitation District, Meridian Metro District, Parker Water and Sanitation District, Pinery Water and Wastewater District, Rangeview Metropolitan District, Stonegate Village Metro District, and the Town of Castle Rock.

increment, bringing that grand total of conveyance to 12,900 acres as anticipated in 1979 when Mission Viejo first drew up the master plan,” he said. That final increment is located west of Mountain Vista High School, east of the BackCountry Homes Development and south of Wildcat Reserve Parkway. Ormiston said it will likely be treated like the rest of the open space that runs throughout the community, with a possibility of some trails going in, but that it will be up to the metro district to decide what to do with it once it is conveyed.

Four homes under construction in the 9500 block of Firenze Way north of Highlands Ranch Parkway and east of University Boulevard were vandalized sometime between the night of July 4 and the afternoon of July 5. Roughly $3,000 worth of damage was reported by Shea Homes on the properties, including eight broken windows, several damaged windows and multiple spray-painted interior walls.

Sleepy man foils theft try

An attempted vehicle theft in the 5900 block of Cheetah Way in Highlands Ranch went awry shortly before 1 a.m. July 8, when a man who was having trouble sleeping heard what sounded like someone getting in a car on the street in front of his son’s house. The man had been sitting on the front porch in the dark and noticed a small LED light coming from his son’s car, which was parked out front. He yelled at the suspect, who took off running.

into numerous vehicles parked in the 700 block of White Cloud Drive in Highlands Ranch. After being yelled at from a bedroom window by a woman who lives in the neighborhood, the teens jumped in what was either a dark green Pontiac Grand Am or Trans Am and drove off at high speed. The vehicle had an excessively loud muffler and some of the suspects were wearing knit hats.

Travel agency hacked

Douglas County Sheriff deputies responded to Highlands Ranch Travel July 1 on a call that the agency’s computer system had been hacked and four e-tickets valued at $14,495.20 were stolen. Two tickets priced at $3,453.80 each were canceled prior to their use, but two other tickets priced at $3,793.80 had been approved and booked for a flight from Dakar, Senegal, to Dubai and then Dubai to China. Based on the information for the tickets, the unknown suspects were anticipated to still be in Dubai at the time of the call. Attempts to trace an electronic trail back to the suspects and figure out the IP address used to purchase the tickets were underway.

Governor gets behind tax-hike proposal t Ballot question would fund school finance overhaul

that advocates have recently decided to pursue. The two-tiered tax hike — which will have a greater impact on higher wage earners — would fund Senate Bill 213, the “Future School Finance Act,” so long as voters approve a ballot initiative that will create about $950 million in new taxes. “I’m not sure it was my exact preference,” said Hickenlooper, referring to the tax proposal that was chosen by education groups last month. “But the bottom line is, you gotta have something on (the ballot) that’s winnable.” Hickenlooper has been pressed to confirm his support for the tax hike since he signed Senate Bill 213 into law in May.

ocatHigh Gov. John Hickenlooper acknowledged untryon July 10 that the tax hike being proposed outhto fund a new school finance formula is not Orm-his “exact preference,” but it is one that he eatedthinks is “winnable” and will support. that The governor’s comments, which folunity,lowed an unrelated Capitol press confertrailsence, mark the first time Hickenlooper has up totold reporters he supports the specific tax whatinitiative tied to a school funding overhaul ed.

told reporters after the signing that he had his preferences on what the tax would look like, but he would not share them. The governor did say at the time that he “certainly” would campaign for the ballot effort, whatever it ended up looking like. Hickenlooper said on July 10 that he’s spent the last month having conversations with business leaders about the tax initiative. “It’s a complex issue, and in the majority of the cases, once we get the facts out there, they’re pretty supportive,” the governor said. If funded, the new school finance act would create full-day kindergarten, provide preschool for at-risk children, and would put more money into needs-based pro-

grams for special education students and children who are learning English. The act also aims to increase per-pupil funding for school districts across the state in a more equitable fashion than the current system allows. Initiative 22 will ask Colorado voters in November to approve an increase in the state income tax, which is now 4.63 percent for all Coloradans. Under Initiative 22, residents who make up to $75,000 a year would see their rate rise to 5 percent. Income above that level would be taxed at 5.9 percent. Ballot organizers have until Aug. 5 to collect 86,105 valid signatures for the initiative to be placed on the ballot.

A Loveland lawmaker has gone from delivering pizzas to Colorado houses to being the Republican leader of the Colorado House. Rep. Brian DelGrosso on July 11 was elected House minority leader by members of his party. DelGrosso, who delivered pizzas for Domino’s before buying three franchises of his own, was praised by fellow Republicans during a brief election at the Capitol. “I’ve seen Brian fight relentlessly for our values, and for our caucus, and for what’s dear to our heart,” said Rep. Libby Szabo, RArvada. “And I appreciate that. And I believe those are key traits to being a leader. “And he makes a hell of a pizza.” DelGrosso has served in the House since 2009 and has been a member of the House Finance and Appropriations committees. A Wyoming native, DelGrosso moved to Colorado after serving in the Air Force and the Wyoming National Guard, before he delivered pizzas for a local Domino’s franchise. DelGrosso now owns Domino’s franchises in Loveland and Windsor. “It’s definitely very humbling for me to be here today, to be in this position,” DelGrosso said. DelGrosso replaces Rep. Mark Waller, RColorado Springs as minority leader. Waller stepped down from his leadership role on July 11, so he can focus on his campaign for attorney general. Waller said he felt “a little bit melancholy” to be stepping down as minority leader, but said “it’s the right thing to do.” Waller said he was proud of how he led his party during the recent legislative session — one where Republicans faced an

uphill battle on just about every issue in the Democrat-controlled General Assembly. “While we lost a lot of votes because we simply did not have the numbers, we certainly won a lot of debates,” Waller said. DelGrosso praised Waller’s leadership before blasting the agenda that Democrats pursued this year. DelGrosso opposed many of the efforts that Democrats touted, such as school finance reform, civil unions and gun control. DelGrosso said he will work to “repeal and correct the onerous bills that were passed this previous session.” He also said that Coloradans “took notice” of the Democrats’ issues platform. “Today isn’t about me, it’s about our election,” he said. “And we all know that elections have consequences.” House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, DDenver, shook hands with DelGrosso after the election and took the high road in a press statement that was issued afterward. “We don’t always agree, but we do always manage to have a productive dialogue,” Ferrandino said. “I congratulate him and hope he will lead his caucus toward bipartisan solutions on the issues most important to the people of Colorado.” Republican Rep. Frank McNulty of Highlands Ranch, a former House speaker, said DelGrosso will face challenges that McNulty never faced when he led the House GOP. “It is a different dynamic, leading a House caucus when you’re in the minority, because you have to react to what the majority Democrats are doing,” McNulty said afterward. “And that’s going to be a challenge for him.” McNulty believes that DelGrosso’s business background will be an asset to the party’s leadership. “He is the American dream,” McNulty said. “He’s an American success story, and now he’s leading our House Republican caucus.”

Fed taper may be painful cold turkey Most investors are opening their June statements about now and wondering what happened. Surely there must be a mistake. Everything was looking pretty good at the end of the first quarter and then we had a realization: Someday the Federal Reserve Board will start to taper off on their monthly bond purchase program, which is pumping money into the economy. This awareness pushed markets into an unusual phenomenon, when asset classes behave as one. Stocks went down, bonds went down, gold went down and there was no benefit in the month of June for diversification. While this happens rarely, it is still painful. It feels like going cold turkey after a prolonged addiction. The concerns are understandable. Those in favor of continued Quantitative Easing do not feel the U.S. economy is strong enough to sustain positive growth without continued stimulus. This could lead to an economic downturn, deflation or even recession. Those in favor of turning off the flow

of money from the Fed are concerned we don’t have a true economic environment with the false stimulus. This makes it difficult to determine real valuations and runs the risk of future inflation if the money supply continues to expand artificially. The very slow measured growth since the last recession has put us in this position. The low GDP number announced for the fourth revision of the first quarter was under 2 percent. It is hard to feel very positive about an economy that is only producing 1.8

percent output more than four years after recession. Normally by now we would have enough momentum to carry us through the rest of the business cycle. The very slow growth and stubborn unemployment cause us to question the stability of the economy once the Fed stimulus is removed. Investors would like to know how to allocate investments for the future. It is difficult to understand when to buy, sell or what to hold when everything goes down just on a rumor. It is ironic that the markets had such a significant negative reaction to no news. Fed Chairman Bernanke did not say he would taper, in fact he said virtually nothing new at all. Perhaps the calendar is ticking by and most logical people understand this can’t continue much longer. Therefore, you might want to ask, “Are we willing to suffer some short-term losses in order to get the economy back on track? What will it take to get off the Fed and learn how to swim on our own?”

Stay tuned … there is more to play out here. The new more transparent Fed has indicated many times, there won’t be a reason to taper QE3 until we see unemployment around 6.5 percent and inflation closer to 2 percent. The current prediction is that it will be 2014 before we see significant changes. Meanwhile, as if a light switch turned on, July numbers are looking much better. This further confirms why it is impossible to guess where markets will be and why a well-balanced strategy is important to keep you focused on your goals.

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

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com She’s only 10, but looks like she has soldiered through some war. She’s long-limbed and bony, and her eyes are red and tired after multiple surgeries for detached retinas. “I play by myself at recess all the time,” said Maddy Collins about experiences at South Ridge Elementary School in Castle Rock. Some kids call her “alien” and she sits alone at lunch, because they worry if their trays touch hers, they’ll have to throw their food away. That’s what Maddy, who was born with Marfan syndrome, faces from many classmates. And then there’s what she and her family face every day. There is a long list of things she can’t do. So that she can live. “If she takes a sharp blow to the chest, that could be the end to Maddy,” said Maddy Collins’ mother, Tara McGuire, 30, of Castle Rock. Maddy has an enlarged aorta that can tear easily because of the fragile way it’s constructed. And that’s only one of many physical issues. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder in which the “glue” that hold the body’s connective tissue together is defective and so causes a myriad of prob-

The Castle Rock Recreation Center months ago gave Maddy and family a free one-year membership so she can participate in the main form of exercise OK’d by doctors and concerned family. “Things are tight,” McGuire said. McGuire can only work part-time be-

cause of the constant trips to Children’s Hospital, and the family of three children depends mostly on her husband’s new job as an electrical engineer. But she said the medical bills keep coming in and there are mechanical problems with her car, so there’s one car left for Maddy’s stepfather’s commute and for her hospital trips. There isn’t money for new clothes or for gymnastics classes for Maddy’s older sister. It’s not a well-known disease, so families and friends are planning a fundraising event for Maddy from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 20 at a location arranged by a family friend, in the Sapphire Pointe neighborhood’s clubhouse at 7550 Soapstone Way, in Castle Rock. The event is called Spa for a Cause, with all proceeds going to Maddy’s medical fund. There will be facials offered, massages from licensed massage therapists, demonstrations and appetizers. McGuire said the event isn’t about raising a ton of money — although that would help — as much as it is giving people the chance to meet Maddy and hear her story, eliminate fears, and get to know the girl who wants to become a doctor. “I want to help people,” Maddy said.

opinions / yours and ours

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

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

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

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

Life is nothing to lose sleep over

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

If you want to lose weight, go to bed early. If you want to lose weight, stop being a night owl. Most of us are some kind of bird, either an early bird or a night owl. On average, apparently, night owls weigh more than early birds. A recent study indicated that those of us who stay up late tend to snack, and not on alfalfa sprouts and a plate of mashed yeast. Night owls snack on chips and cookies and pies. Right now I am both birds. Instead of a good night’s sleep, I have become a serial napper. I sleep for a few hours and then get up and get busy. I have been seen at the grocery store at 2 a.m. I took an Asian friend to dinner one evening and asked her what she was going to do later. She said, “Eat.” She said that she ate, mostly noodle dishes, periodically throughout the day and night. I thought she was a straight-out loon. Now I understand because that’s the way I am sleeping. And it seems to be working. I have never been more productive. I don’t recommend it, however. I am able to do it because I am retired, and don’t have to be at the office in the morning. If you have a day job and tried this, you’d be on the streets.

Television is different at 4 a.m. than it is at 4 p.m. Commercials last for 30 minutes instead of for three. It’s how I met my vacuum cleaner. And my juicer. And my ladder. There are other differences in the middle of the night. The streets are wide open. The brats in the neighborhood are tucked in bed. It’s calm and quiet and serene. I try to have my column written by the time the daily paper lands on the driveway. I write with the aid of coffee and read with the aid of coffee. I have a good idea that my doctor would be against this, so I haven’t told him. I have never heard anyone recommend serial napping. You might be surprised how many merchants are open 24 hours a day, and what Smith continues on Page 11

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

Regarding the Douglas County commissioners’ approval of the Sterling Ranch development: What I would like to see “down the road” is an actual water use comparison to what is projected. My feeling is that Sterling Ranch is using “smoke and mirrors” to make the water usage match what can be obtained from every conceivable source.

Highlands Ranch Herald

I find it very difficult to believe that every person in the proposed Sterling Ranch community will actually use less than half of what is considered “normal” in the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, only time will tell, by then it will be too late, the damage to the limited water resources will already have been put in motion. James Weglarz Larkspur

Teachers get tech lesson at ‘Geek Camp’ r

DCSD personnel attend cials four-day session at charter

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com

Kids always seem to be on the cutting edge of technology. The Douglas County School District is making sure its teachers aren’t left behind. The number of technological advancements in the classroom over the last decade hing is astounding. The advent of interactive class lessons and online homework assignn and ments has teachers receiving continuing s, as education on the latest gadgets and apps eans.being incorporated into the classroom. fans An annual “Geek Camp” run by the Douglas County School District equips teachers with the tools and know-how needed to guide the next generation into the future. Brandon Petersen, a technology teacher at Sand Creek Elementary School in Highlands Ranch, says in many cases, it’s best for teachers to “let the kids take control of their own learning,” which he admits is a “huge flip” in conventional thinking. During times when teachers are fumbling with a new device, “the kids say, `hand it over,’” he says. Petersen is among those who collaborate with instructors in the classroom. He has become “Mr. Technology,” troubleshooting when needed at Sand Creek. But the idea behind Geek Camp is to help teachers become self-sufficient when new it is technologies are introduced. This summer’s Geek Camp, a series of tes lessons July 8-12 at Challenge to Excellence Charter School in Parker, enabled teachers y to explore a “digital playground,” a room id- brimming with devices from different compen. panies. They also had guided practices and ked “campfire” sessions, small group discushe sions that allow teachers to share what they way. already know with each other. “They’re in here using learning-enviwith ronment language,” said Kim McMonagle, ould the school district’s director of educational have technology.

DCSD less than 10 years ago, teachers and students followed an unofficial “bring your own device” rule, or BYOD. These days, there is a push for “one-to-one,” or one electronic device per student. Sue McTigue, a music teacher at Soaring Hawk Elementary School, led a Geek Camp lesson on how to use technology in a musical setting. She plans to use Edmodo, Smart

Boards and White Boards for in-class and at-home learning. For example, students can watch tutorials on how to play a specific song and then use Garage Band software to submit recordings directly to her. Geek Camp helps teachers earn professional growth incentives and meet re-licensure requirements.

They are emptying boxes everywhere, the shelves are being stocked, and I feel like I just won Shopper of the Week because I don’t have to dodge Eight Is Enough. After midnight my favorite station, KVOD, is non-stop music. There are no interviews, requests for car donations, operas, or abstract contemporary indeterminacy. I am never in morning or afternoon rush hour, and the peace of mind in that is unsurpassable. I endured both when I was teaching, and arrived at school grumpy,

and later in the day, arrived home grumpier. Those who know me see a changed man. “There goes the former Mr. Scrooge,” I heard someone say about me. This arrangement gives me three days in one. We all feel the pressures of trying to get 30 hours of life into a 24-hour day. But not me. I get everything done without high anxiety. Without feeling like I am having a breakdown. Without feeling like I want to jump. How long can this go on? I do not know. I do know that I never do the same thing over and over for very long. Some new method of coping with existence may occur to me next Wednesday. I am awash with black coffee, the daily paper just arrived, and the first of my three-days-in-one is winding down. As good as it gets, and gets, and gets. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast. net

opers,” said Dennis Larratt, speaking on behalf of the Chatfield Community Association. “Yet in this case it looks like the board is considering the requests of developers over the vocal concerns of many concerned and existing citizens.” Attorney David Foster, who was also representing Sterling Ranch, said it was important to remember that a number of people had come before the board previously to voice their support of the project. Those people were asked not to testify on July 10, he said, as this hearing dealt with specific legal issues, primarily in terms of the development’s appeal on whether water supply standards were being met. The county initially approved the project in 2011, but in 2012, 18th Judicial District Judge Paul King overturned that ruling, stating that in accordance with state law the project did not have sufficient water secured to move forward. The county then appealed the district court ruling, stating that King had misinterpreted the law and

The proposed development at Sterling Ranch was approved unanimously by Douglas County commissioners July 10. Developers hope to start moving dirt on the 12,050-home project north of Roxborough later this year. File photo that all that was necessary was that the development proves it has enough water to go ahead with the initial phase of the project. With the appeal still pending, the passage of Colorado Senate Bill 258 this May gave clarification to that law, agreeing with Sterling Ranch’s interpretation. Because of that, the developers requested a hearing with the commissioners, asking them to take a second look at their application. Due to the passage of SB-258, Sterling Ranch did not even bring into play on July 10 the fact that its water provider, Dominion Water and Sanitation District, had since King’s ruling secured enough water to satisfy the entire project, as part of the

WISE (Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency) Partnership’s agreement with Denver and Aurora Water. Still, the opposition was left upset, and Larratt pointed out that their battle may not be over and that the Chatfield group may contest other issues in addition to water in court. “There are more reasons not to approve this project,” he said. “In the … appeal put forth before, there were many different elements of arguments. The district court chose to determine on only one item. All of those other elements are still live and can be brought back. Be prepared that those are still valid.” Smethills said he fully expects another challenge from the Chatfield group,

but that is up to his attorneys to handle. In the meantime, he said, they are ready to finally move forward and he feels that day has arrived. “Today was all about new information,” said Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella. “The board of county commissioners heard the application and made a ruling in May 2011. ... The only new information I heard today is the new (regulation) and the clarification on the statute, which is consistent with the interpretation the Board of County Commissioners made on the original approval.” “A lot of information was brought back that we actually heard at the previous hearing,” said Commissioner Jack Hilbert. “Rehashing that information that we had already made a decision on isn’t going to garner us any new information because that already has been vetted. I was looking for that new information but it wasn’t there.” The development expects, once it reaches buildout, to have an annual economic windfall of $400 million.

Space Continued from Page 1

Space X Mission 4 on Nov. 11 from Cape Canaveral in Florida. Bodzianowski will attend the launch with his father, Tom, and celebrate seeing his experiment go up into space just two days after his 12th birthday. “It’s going to be one of the best birthday presents I’ve ever had,” he said. “I’m really excited. Being the first kid, not just in the county or in the school, but in the whole state, to get my experiment to fly into space, I never expected this.” Bodzianowski selected the subject matter for his experiment after researching what experiments had already been conducted in space and after reading a book about beer being more popular than water in medieval times. He said he also had heard that wine was once made in space, so he wondered if beer could be too. “It was kind of a surprise to us,” said Tom Bodzianowski on the subject. “He has never tried beer,

but he is very interested in chemical reactions and creating things. He is very hands-on. One day, he just came home and asked for all the ingredients.” And while Michal began running experiments at home, he was not setting out to create his own batch of beer, but instead testing a variety of yeast reactions. He said his hope is that if one can make beer in space, then alcohol should also be able to be created for emergency medical purposes. “We are calling it Colorado’s first microbrewery in space,” said Bodzianowski’s teacher Sharon Combs, adding that Michal’s experiment will fly side by side with a number of industry experiments as well as the other 10 selected by the SSEP. “When I heard about the concept, I thought NASA would never approve it, but it just shows how much fun science can be,” said Penny Eucker, executive director of the school. “We have only one experiment from Colorado going, and I’m thinking, of course, it’s Colorado, it’s got to be beer.”

Pickleball making quite a racket Hybrid sport takes root in south metro area By Anna Sutterer

Special to Colorado Community Media A fast-growing sport combining elements of tennis, badminton and pingpong, pickleball has swept across America and made its way to south metro Denver. South Suburban Parks and Recreation embraced the trend last November at its Sheridan center and expanded it to the Lone Tree location last month. The Buck and Goodson recreation centers, in Littleton and Centennial respectively, are also exploring adding the hybrid sport, if enough interest is expressed.

While the game is new to many, its roots date back decades. Named after founder Joel Pritchard’s dog Pickles, the game began on Bainbridge Island, Wash., in 1965 when Pritchard and Bill Bell misplaced the shuttlecock to their badminton set and had to improvise a new form of entertainment using the pooch’s perforated plastic ball. Pickleball is most commonly a doubles sport, played on a court similar to tennis but with one-third the area to cover, and even smaller when played as singles. Players wield wooden or composite paddles, just shorter than a tennis racket, as they swing with precision at a wiffle-like ball and shuffle in all directions across the court. Don’t be fooled by the

Pickleball players use small paddles, similar to those used in ping-pong, and a plastic wiffle-like ball. Wooden paddles are typically used by beginning players. More advanced players opt to use rackets made of more lightweight materials, such as composites or graphite.

cutesy name and adorable story. Though there may not be much room to run about and the lighter ball generally flies with less fervor than in tennis, the game holds real excitement for those who play it. According to the USA Pickleball Association, there are more than 100,000 active players in America. In especially competitive pickleball areas, a special court on one’s property is very common — akin to a basketball hoop in the driveway. Attendance at Sheridan’s program has been increasing and is becoming more consistent since its opening, according to facility supervisor Eddie Kanoza. There are no lessons offered, but a few regulars, including Kanoza, are available to help beginners at the drop-in gym time from 10 a.m. to noon on Mondays and Wednesdays. The Lone Tree Recreation Center runs a similar operation from 3 to 6 p.m. on Sundays and 1 to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Four of the center’s pickleball connoisseurs are BJ Pell, Tad Deutsch and Darryl and Ann Shaw. They’ve taken it upon themselves to manage the advancement of the program and help newcomers get involved. “We’re just trying to bring anybody new in who wants to come and we start teaching them some stuff. We’re not real teachers but we’ve played. Hopefully we can bring them to the next

Dr. Gale Hollers of Castle Pines returns a serve during a July 12 game of pickleball at the Lone Tree Rec Center. Similar to tennis, pickleball is played on a court with the same dimensions as a doubles badminton court. The net is similar to a tennis net, but is mounted two inches lower. Photos by Deborah Grigsby level,” Pell said. Fortunately for the amateur coaches, pickleball proves to be a pretty simple sport to learn with the right experience. “It seems like anyone with a racquetball or any kind of paddle-sport background catches on pretty fast,” Darryl Shaw said. According to Pell, the Lone Tree location attracts many ex-tennis players who are looking for another way to stay active within their previously acquired skill sets. The Shaws, Pell and Deutsch are also involved with the well-established “Parker Picklers” of the

pickleball surface opposed to a tennis court is more efficient, but being outdoors still renders the space useless through Colorado’s long and unpredictable winters. Regarding the implementation of clinics and coaching in the area, there is a chance some experienced players from surrounding areas would be available to help. “We’ve got some people who have taught over in Parker and Aurora that may come over and do some clinics. We just need to get a gauge of how many people would be interested to have somebody come and teach some skills,” Pell said.

Parker community, and hope to use the connection in bringing Lone Tree up to a similar level of play and growth. Outdoor courts with an earlier time slot for playing, as well as upcoming clinics to enhance skills, are some of the features players like Darryl Shaw would prefer. The Lone Tree program is still quite fresh, so adjustments are being considered. According to Deutsch, the possibility of outdoor courts has been discussed, and with that change an earlier time frame could be added to account for the heat. Cost is a factor, however.

Redwood City, California How long have you lived in the area? Since 1997 What do you like most about it? I like the Denver metro area for its city life, suburbs, schools, open space, walking & biking trails, and great infrastructure. I like living close to downtown and to mountain communities. I appreciate Denver’s blue sky, four-season climate and active lifestyle. Denver offers a great quality of life.

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

I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I have two daughters (one in college, one in high school) that keep me busy. I spend lots of time being a spectator at my younger daughter’s volleyball games. I love to exercise every day, belong to a great gym but also enjoy biking and walking outdoors. I also enjoy visiting various mountain communities several times a year with my family. What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? You only get one chance to make a good first impression, so get your home ready to sell before it goes on the market. Price the home correctly.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? rep Before looking at homes, get prequalified by a reputable lender. Put some thought into what features you want in a home and where you would like to live. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? The most unusual encounter I’ve ever had was with a guest at an Open house that I hosted. He took it upon himself to “forage” through the kitchen cabinets and closets looking for prescrip prescription medication. It was very unsettling to have that occur during an Open House, and to have to explain it to my Sellers.

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

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

CARRIERS WANTED NORTH AND SOUTH METRO ROUTES AVAILABLE

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

Mellow Mushroom something to see Sips on agenda at Meadows Grange Restaurant is colorful addition to Lone Tree

By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews. com

The Mellow Mushroom’s June 29 grand opening drew happy crowds to its space in the Lone Tree Entertainment District off Park Meadows Drive. Photo by Jane Reuter ing’s exterior from bland to brilliant. “The design and colors reflect the fun that’s to be had inside,” Sharon Purcel said. “It’s familyoriented, and it’s also after-hoursoriented.” Drink and food menu offerings carry on the quirky theme — with names like the Kosmic Karma, Mellowterranean and Thai Dye pizzas — but Purcel said the restaurant’s pizza is serious business. “Our pizza crust is what makes it extremely special,” Purcel said. “Our specialty is the spring water and the molasses. It’s a very creative recipe.” Mellow Mushroom also offers

build-your-own salads, calzones and hoagies. The Lone Tree location is the third in Colorado, preceded by The Streets at Southglenn and downtown Denver locations. “We’re just thrilled to be part of the community,” Purcel said. “The population is exactly who we thought would enjoy the restaurant. “We definitely want to embrace the community. I certainly hope the community embraces us.” The 121-store Georgia-based chain opened its first restaurant in 1974. Purcel said more sites are planned in Colorado.

The first year the Castle Rock WineFest was held, it was the coldest July day on record, mid50s and raining. The second year, it was 100 degrees hot. This year’s notable measurement: probably people. Each year, the event, which Castle Rock Chamber President Pam Ridler and two board members thought up one evening over — sip — a glass of wine, has had its memorable memories. This year’s, the 10th annual, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. July 20, will probably have one highlight, in particular. For organizers, anyway. It’ll be even bigger. The thing keeps growing. The first year had 600 people and 18 wineries. Last year, 3,000 people and 30 wineries, Ridler said. This year, they’re expecting even more people, but the winery number will be the same, 30, because there’s no more room where the event is currently held, at The Grange, 3692 Meadows Blvd. in The Meadows subdivision. Ridler said last year’s event stretched from The Grange to Paintbrush Park. And that’s about the length of three football fields. The other thing that’s growing is its reputation — with the wineries. Ridler said one winery owner told her the event has become the most popular event on Colorado’s

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

There are over 40 events during the 10-day celebration, held throughout Littleton. WWW offers a variety of volunteer opportunities: from office work, BBQs, pancake breakfast, silent auction, arts & crafts festival, and more.

The role of the volunteer is critical to the festival’s success! Visit our web site at www.westernwelcomeweek.org/volunteer for a list of opportunities and to download an application. Western Welcome Week is a 501(c)(3) public charity.

When: 2-8 p.m. July 20 Where: The Grange at The Meadows, 3692 Meadows Blvd. Parking: Catch shuttle at The Outlets at Castle Rock Tickets: www.castlerockculture.com/castlerock-winefest. Call: 303-688-4597 “eastern slope.” Wineries every year increase the amount of wine they bring, because they keep selling out. Parking isn’t an issue at The Grange because the WineFest shuttles attendees from their parking spots at The Outlets at Castle Rock. Wineries come from around Colorado and so do attendees, Ridler said. Castle Rock hotels are offering special deals. In addition to wine, there’s song. A Denver band, Waitin’ on Ray, will plays “everything from Journey and Zeppelin, to INXS and the Black-Eyed Peas.” Also planned are free demonstrations from Colorado chefs, bakers and a chocolatier. Restaurants will offer food for sale and several dozen artists and specialty shops will offer their creations. For those who don’t think one day is enough, leading up to the July 20 WineFest will be two “winemaker dinners” at which select wines from a particular winery are paired with the restaurants’ finest foods. That happens July 16 at Gabriel’s Restaurant, 5450 Manhart Ave., Sedalia, and at Augustine Grill, 519 Wilcox St., Castle Rock. For tickets and other information, go to www.castlerockculture. com/castle-rock-winefest.

Well before tasting the Mellow Mushroom’s food, the restaurant’s new Lone Tree building feeds its guests’ eyes with colorful, whimsical decor. The visual appetizers start on Park Meadows Drive, where the orange-and-blue building — topped by a cartoon mushroom flashing a peace sign and tossing a pizza — greets visitors to the Entertainment District. A smiling, pizza-laden waiter sculpted in yellow and blue metal stands at the restaurant’s entrance. The sensory stimulus doesn’t let up inside, where a 1970s theme plays out in disco balls, color-splashed ceiling supports and wall murals on which butterflies, mushrooms and musicians appear to dreamily float. “The decor is fabulous,” said Lone Tree resident Kim Lenihan, one of hundreds who dined there during the restaurant’s June 30 grand opening. “Fantastic,” agreed Bob Lenihan. “Groovy,” decided a man at the bar. The new look is a far cry from any of the building’s previous tenants, which included the Blue Rox Grill, Hops, Kassai and Grazio. Franchise owners Sharon and Morris Purcel and their son Shane stripped the restaurant’s interior down to the shell, investing about $2 million to redesign the building to their standards. That included greatly expanding the patio with garage doors and in-floor heating to allow open-air or enclosed year-round dining, reconfiguring the kitchen and taking the build-

Rothko’s 1940s works on display Denver show sheds light on changing artist By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com His luminous Color Field paintings of the 1950s and 1960s have given Mark Rothko a pre-eminent place among contemporary American painters, but he was active in the 1940s, creating works that ranged from figurative to Jungian myth, surrealism, abstraction … Early images include stories from classical mythology and others inspired by European surrealists and cubists, which led to linear abstract forms, soft colored shapes and finally “Untitled” in 1950, with bands of color — his distinctive style for the remainder of his life. His son, Christopher Rothko, works with his sister Kate Rothko Prizel to advance their father’s legacy. He said: “The 1940s is the decade when everything happens for my father. He enters the decade and he comes out the other end the Rothko we know.” The Denver Art Museum has opened an exhibit called “Figure to Field: Mark Rothko in the 1940s,” running through Sept. 29, which has 28 works, primarily from the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Many have not been displayed in 20 years and illustrate Rothko’s journey as an artist.

if you go “Figure to Field: Mark Rothko in the 1940s” is in the Gallagher Family Gallery on the first floor of the Hamilton Building, Denver Art Museum, 12th Avenue between Broadway and Bannock Streets. It is included in general admission, free for members, and runs through Sept. 29. For hours and information: denverartmuseum.org, 720-913-0130. Also included are 11 works by his contemporaries, including Robert Motherwell, Clyfford Still, Milton Avery, Adolph Gottleib, Arshile Gorky and Jackson Pollock. These artists exchanged ideas and influenced and supported each other. Paintings are hung chronologically with well-written wall text that discusses Rothko’s early years. Born in Russia, Rothko lived in New York in the 1940s, was acquainted with European artists who had escaped from World War II to America and became active with the group of artists who were known as Abstract Expressionists. A copy of the famous Life magazine photo of that group is included in this show. Representational images no longer worked to represent the war, although he is quoted as saying of the figurative paintings, “I think of my pictures as dramas, the shapes in the pictures are performers ….” “I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstacy, doom and so on,” he is quoted in a New York Times

story. By 1947, he eliminated all surrealistic elements and worked with pure form. The back portion of the Gallagher Gallery is devoted to early Color Field Paintings, with oil washes, egg-based paints, stains, some drips left as they happened. “If I must put my trust somewhere, it would be in the psyche of sensitive observers,” he said. His spiritual qualities are especially expressed in the Rothko Chapel in Houston, but all paintings held symbolic meaning for him. He met Clyfford Still, whose works are housed in the next-door Clyfford Still Museum, and they were close friends for 10 years. He introduced Still to collector/gallery owner Peggy Guggenheim, who gave Still a major show before he withdrew from the New York art world. Readers may have had the opportunity to see the excellent play “Red” at Curious Theatre last year, which conveyed the artist’s intensity as he worked on his famous series of red canvases. It portrayed a conflicted man, uncomfortable in his world. (He committed suicide in 1970.) This exhibit was organized by four museums, which each provided particular expertise and will each exhibit the Rothko works: Arkansas Art Center, Columbia, S.C., Art Museum, Columbus Art Museum and Denver Art Museum—in conjunction with the National Gallery of Art, which holds the world’s largest collection of Rothko’s work.

When Elly and Jim Andersen moved to the Wind Crest retirement community five years ago, they didn’t move far from their former house in Cherry Hills, because they didn’t want to move away from family. The couple is proud of their family legacy — all their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren contribute so much to their lives. But one grandchild in particular is making a splash in the celebrity spotlight. And her work in Hollywood is attracting a new generation of fans and the Highlands Ranch community where she often visits. AnnaSophia Robb, the 19-year-old actress who has starred in major motion pictures like” Soul Surfer,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” “Bridge to Terabithia” and “Because of Winn-Dixie” now stars in “The Carrie Diaries.” The weekly television show on The CW is based on the popular HBO series “Sex and the City.” In it, Robb plays teenager Carrie Bradshaw in high school in 1984. The Andersens love seeing Robb work — they’ve been on set with her as far away as London — but they love it the most when their granddaughter visits them on the Highlands Ranch campus and spends quality time. As for Robb, well, she’s a huge fan of Wind Crest. Robb grew up in Colorado not far from where her grandparents lived and was in high school when her grandparents moved to Wind Crest. “My grandpa would pick me up from school two times a week, and I’d hang out with them before I went to kickboxing,” she says. She appreciates the pool, the hot tub, going to dinners and brunches on campus, and she wishes they sold the cookies in the marketplace store 24/7. She laughs, “I’d get home from school and miss them,” referring to both the cookies and her grandparents. But the thing Robb says she appreciates most about Wind Crest is how both her grandparents thrive on campus. ”It’s just really convenient. They can go to the gym, join clubs, and my grandpa can work on his trains. They have everything they need and want at their fingertips,” Robb says. The model railroad club is one of the most appealing things about Wind Crest to Jim; his outdoor train set is a memory that warms his granddaughter’s heart, and she’s Parker continues on Page 28

Stage-struck detective is a winner Clever musical ‘Curtains’ plays at Arvada Center

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Curtains” is a light, clever musical, perfect fare for a summer evening at the Arvada Center. It was written by Rupert Holmes, with music and lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb, who wrote “Cabaret” and “Chicago” — not quite the depth of either, but entertaining. As always at this Equity theater, the cast is skilled and production values of set, lighting, sound, costumes are well above average. Set in Boston’s Colonial Theater in 1957, the musical opened in Los Angeles first and then moved to Broadway with David Hyde Pierce in the lead. He won a Tony for his role as the stage-struck cop. Gavin Mayer directs this spoofy piece about murder backstage, play within a play, somewhat convoluted storyline. Lights go up on the opening night production of “Robbin’ Hood,” a Western version of the ancient story. Just as the curtain falls, the off-key leading lady keels over. Cast and crew are glad to be rid of her, but what next?

Georgia Hendricks (Lauren Shealy) and Aaron Fox (Jeffrey Roark) are two of the suspects in a Broadway murder mystery in “Curtains” at the Arvada Center. Courtesy photo Lt. Frank Cioffi (Jim Poulos) appears to say that Jessica Cranshaw has been murdered and he’s there to investigate. Turns out, he also has acted in community theater and has a weakness for musicals. So as the show progresses, he alternates between

solving the crime and subsequent murders and making quiet suggestions to improve the shaky “Robbin’ Hood.” And, of course, there’s a romance as he becomes smitten with understudy actress Niki Harris — and really hopes she’s not the

They will hold a public reception from 6 to 8:30 p.m. July 19. Garrett was a musician before she became a visual artist. Her oil paintings have been shown widely in the metro area and she won a first place in the All Colorado Juried Show at Littleton’s Depot Art Center.

murderer. Colin Alexander almost overplays swishy director Christopher Belling, who decides to replace the late Cranshaw with Georgia Hendricks (Lauren Shealy), divorced from songwriter Aaron Fox (Jeffrey Roark). They manage to get together again, despite her fling with leading man Bobby Pepper … And then we have brassy producer Carmen Bernstein (the great Megan Van De Hay) whose adversarial relationship with sleazy husband Sidney (Mark Rubald) leads to his demise. Numerous other characters weave in and out, dancing as they go with Kitty Skillman Hillsabeck’s choreography. The initial murder is finally solved and there are two more during the evening, adding to the confusion. But never fear—all ends well. And despite the murders, it’s quite a delightful concoction. And guess who show up in the finale?

glad he can continue to do what he is so passionate about. Passionate living runs in the family. While raising her family and helping with her grandchildren, Elly’s lifework has been to give of herself and her time to those she loves. She’s even kept a treasure chest of all the clippings she can find about Robb for the last 10 years, since she began acting in Because of Winn-Dixie. Elly recalls a fond memory from the set. Cicely Tyson had forgotten a line, and Robb whispered to the actress, “It’s OK, my grandma forgets things, too.” Elly laughs at what she calls a “sort of backhanded compliment.” “It’s neat to look back and see how little she was,” Elly says of her granddaughter. The whole family knew she would be an actress when she was just 2 years old. She was, according to the Andersens, born for the spotlight and with “the prettiest little face.” Even though their granddaughter lives in New York while working on the show, the Andersens know it won’t be long before they see her again.

‘It’s been my dream part since I was 10. I auditioned for it while in school but got a chorus part instead. … I came from a play, but am interested in musical theater.’ Littleton actress Kenzie Kilroy has an agent and hopes to get into film work. Kilkroy learned about the Phamaly company from Robert Michael Sanders at Arvada and her voice teacher, Traci Kern. She was aware of the company, but thought one had to have a physical disability. Her problems are dyslexia and ADD, and cognitive and emotional problems are included, she learned. “It’s not only for persons in wheelchairs.” She auditioned for Hodel in the spring. “It’s been my dream part since I was 10. I auditioned for it while in school but got a chorus part instead. … I came from a play, but am interested in musical theater. “You get acquainted in three days,” she said of her experience with fellow cast members. “And they’re fun to

hang out with.” At the first rehearsal, she wondered what the choreography would look like, given the need to adapt to blindness, deafness, cerebral palsy, wheelchairs and other issues. “Some errors happen in rehearsal, but they get worked out.” To learn her lines, she records herself reading. “I need to figure out how to say things … memorize without switching words. I need to hear the voice.” In this play, she knew the story really well. Her family helps her. She says she taught herself to sing, but now studies voice with Traci Kearn, to become more professional. She dances, but has reservations about her abilities. “That’s why I’m going to LA instead of New York. In New York, you have to dance.”

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

34th annual mopar mile high nationals What: Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle drag racing When: July 19-21 Where: Bandimere Speedway, 3051 S. Rooney Road, Morrison (off Morrison Road and C-470) Tickets and information: bandimere.com

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Ask most drivers competing in the Mopar Mile High Nationals about coming to Bandimere Speedway, and the comments start with changes that have to be made to the cars because of the elevation. However, most of the remarks eventually mention the Bandimere family, which has owned the track for 55 years. “For starters, we just love the Bandimere family,” said Pro Stock driver Jeg Coughlin, who has formed a two-car team with Allen Johnson and Mopar this season. “First and foremost, the Bandimere family has owned and operated the facility for over 50 years and they have always done a fantastic job, not only for the racers but fans. “The facility is first rate and the only facility on the tour that has a radiant cooling system integrated with the starting line system to keep the temperatures down on the starting line at the surface. That was a big investment the Bandimeres made. When we are here in July and it is 100 degrees and the track gets to 150 degrees, now they are able to moderate that.” Coughlin admits that Bandimere’s beauty offsets the work on changes to the car that have to be

Everything else we manipulate. The mountain here in unbeliev-

mountain it was snowing,” said Force. “I knew without a race I wouldn’t have any money to pay the hotel rooms. Now that’s changed. I remember being there with my dad, he’s passed now, and John Bandimere, he was a kid like me. His and my dad sat on the hill and talked about their two crazy

Speedway firmly rooted in Colorado soil Family business in 55th year of drag racing By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com John Bandimere Sr. built the Safety Proving Grounds of America in 1958 after he purchased 180 acres of land for $13,500. His plan was to provide a place for young men and women to drag-race and learn about automobiles. John Bandimere Sr. passed away in 1986, but his proving grounds, now named Bandimere Speedway, located along the Hogback near Morrison, is celebrating its 55th year of drag racing and will host its biggest event of the season, the Mopar Mile High Nationals, July 19-21. “I’m a Wheat Ridge kid,” said John Bandimere Jr. “I’m a Wheat Ridge Farmer. I graduated from high school in 1956. I raced on the street and so did a lot of kids. My dad wanted a place for us to be away from all the dangers. “I first came out after Dad bought the property and was moving dirt. Rooney Road was a dirt road. Actually Alameda wasn’t totally paved. The way you came in was off Colfax.” Bandimere Jr. took an active role in the track operations in the mid-1970s and tried to find a national event to host because the track was not making money. In 1977 the track, nicknamed Thunder Mountain, hosted the NHRA Sports Nationals and the next year the NHRA Mile High Nationals was the first race with professional categories to compete at Bandimere. “In 1987 the president of the NHRA at that time, Dallas Gardner, came to me after the event and said, ‘You need to do something because we can’t come back here,’” recalled Bandimere. “The reason was, we were putting 100 matches in a matchbox that maybe held 50. That sort of thing. “I said to Dallas, ‘I have one question. If

we spend the money and we bring this facility up to stature, will you give us a sabbatical where we could have a year off and then come back?’ He said, ‘Absolutely.’” Bandimere Speedway overcame financial difficulties and underwent a $4.2 million renovation in 1988. “Highway 470 started being built in September 1987,” said Bandimere. “So what happened, we needed to move a lot of dirt. We were on the side of a mountain and needed to flatten things out. I went to the (Jefferson) County and in those days got a permit for $15. They asked me what we were going to do and I said we had to move a little bit of dirt. They didn’t ask me how much. They wanted their $15. “They were building the highway and we were moving all this dirt. We moved almost 4 million yards of dirt. While we were moving all the dirt, the public thought the highway was being built.” The track renovation, however, was redflagged. “The day came when they were ready to dedicate the bridge on Morrison Road,” continued Bandimere. “They were all there with dignitaries and I’ve got tractors going up and down the hill. They came over that day and red-tagged it. I said we were moving some dirt and rebuilding our facility. I thought that was probably going to be the end of the rebuilding. “The county realized this was a needed thing and went along with us, took the red flags off and we had to meet a few rules. The track is in the exact same place. What we changed was all the parking, the pit area, building of the tower and the Eliminator Club.” After the track facelift, Mopar came on as the sponsor of the Mile High Nationals. “They have been our sponsor of this event from that day until now,” Bandimere said of the 25-year partnership with parts, service and customer care branches within Chyrsler Group LLC. “It’s been among the longest-running sponsorships in racing

that attend the Mopar Mile High NHRA Nationals every year,” said Gorlier. “Since 1989, this historic track has become our home away from home because of a common passion for this family-oriented sport, grassroots racing and commitment to sportsmen. Through thick and thin over the past 25 years, the Bandimere family, their track and this annual national NHRA event have become an integral and valued part of our Mopar racing tradition.” Gary Scelzi, nicknamed the Wild Thing, drove for 12 years on the NHRA circuit and will be this year’s grand marshal. He retired at the conclusion of the 2008 season driving a Mopar Hemi-powered Funny Car. He earned one win at Bandimere in 2006. “I’m humbled and excited to be asked by Mopar to serve as grand marshal and be part of such an amazing event once again,” said Scelzi. “There are only a few NHRA nationals that have prestige and meaning and where winning really means something extra special. I’d put the Mopar Mile High Nationals amongst the Gatornationals and Englishtown. It’s special not just because it has been around forever and is extremely difficult and challenging, but also because of the Bandimere family. “They go out of their way to make ev-

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