A place to park and a spot to spread a blanket became hard to find in Cornerstone and Belleview parks, as is traditionally the case, when people gathered for the Family Fun and Fireworks event July 4.

The event resembled past years with a variety of activities during the day, a live band on stage in the early evening, and a finishing fireworks display after dark.

While a couple rainstorms swept through the area in the late afternoon, the skies eventually cleared. Volleyball games resumed, the attractions were blown up again and activities went on as

Because so many people park in adjacent areas to watch the fireworks, crowd estimates are difficult.

However, during the event, Police Cmdr. Gary Condreay said the crowd in the park looked a bit smaller this year, probably because of the rains.

This is the 19th year agencies and communities have joined together to put on a July 4 celebration which culminates with about a 20-minute fireworks display.

Retail marijuana in Littleton is toast — at least for now.

The city council voted 4-3 on July 1 in favor of an outright ban on retail sales, leaving dispensary owners determined to take the issue to a vote of the people.

“If you do ban it, we will have to push it to a vote,” said Melissa Van Diest, owner of The Hemp Center on Main Street, during the public hearing.

Like the council’s vote, every time Littleton residents have weighed in on the issue, it’s been close. While 51 percent of the city’s voters supported Amendment 64, the statewide ballot issue that legalized retail sales of small amounts of pot to adults, almost all of them live on the north side.

Councilmember Jerry Valdes represents that district, and stayed true to his constituents in voting against the ban.

“The people who voted for this, they gave it thought,” he said. “And revenue is going to be a big issue for Littleton in the very near future.”

Councilmember Peggy Cole and Mayor Phil Cernanec joined Valdes in his position. For Cernanec, it was a reversal from his previous stance, when he joined with his district’s voters and Littleton Public Schools officials in opposition to Amendment 64.

“I have a belief that retail sales are going to be inevitable,” he now says, adding that state regulations have made legal pot safer than the homegrown variety.

Bob Hoban, attorney for CannaMart, agreed. He said in May that his client was working on ballot language for a citizens’

A group of parents and children are escorted to get an up-close look at the AirLife helicopter that landed at Cornerstone Park as part of the Family Fun and Fireworks festivities. The helicopter was on the ground about an hour so all the people lined up and waiting could get to come out, visit with the crew and look inside the chopper.

For the first time in the 14 years it has been empty, the activity level is set to rise on the old Marathon site in the coming weeks, after Littleton City Council approved the final site plan on July 1.

“The negotiations (with the city) have been frustrating,” said Michael Downes, managing director at Watt Investment Partners. “The developer made the decision ( June 25) to stop negotiating and accept what was on the table. The developer is very ready to get started.”

Some work has already occurred, with the guard shack, most of the trees and even the longstanding, forlornlooking metal Christmas tree all having been removed from the 77-acre site at Marathon continues on Page 12

Sometimes losing is winning Highlands Ranch family to appear on ‘Extreme Weight Loss’

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jeff Macht admits that the extra weight he’s carried on his large frame placed a huge burden on his family.

“He was verbally abusive, just to be flatout honest,” says his 16-year-old daughter, Juliana.

“Because I hated myself,” he is quick to jump in.

Mom Michelle just as quickly tries to clarify.

“He saw her weight, and he saw himself in that,” she said. “Him getting mad at her was like him yelling at himself.”

And that’s how the family ended up on the television show, “Extreme Weight Loss,” which airs Tuesday nights on ABC. The premise of the show is that Chris and Heidi Powell, personal trainers, guide extremely obese people on a journey to safely lose half of their body weight in one year.

“It was an intense year,” said Jeff.

The lives of the Highlands Ranch family had been pretty intense even before that, culminating in a suicide attempt in 2012.

Jeff says he started gaining weight when Michelle was pregnant with their first child, and Michelle said the whole family followed suit over the years.

“I would cook, and I would cook what they wanted, even though I knew better,” said Michelle, a math professor at Arapahoe Com-

munity College.

But their health isn’t the only thing that was disintegrating. Communication was breaking down because all Jeff wanted to do was come home from work and watch TV — not even getting off the couch for dinner.

“I even had to mow the lawn,” remembers Michelle, who, even though she wasn’t technically part of the cast, lost 60 pounds herself throughout the show’s filming.

Her husband would try diets in fits and starts, never with much success.

“I was an athlete all through college, and that makes it even worse,” he said. “I knew what I had to do, but I just gave up on myself.”

“He’d try and fail, and I’d get upset and frustrated,” said Michelle. “I’d have to sit back and say, you can’t make somebody change, they have to want to change.”

Then the kids started avoiding their parents.

“He had a strained relationship with both of our other children,” said Michelle. “They only knew him as heavy. And by the time you’re a teenager, you start caring about what your parents do, and he was 300 pounds by then.”

But for Juliana, the youngest, things took a terrible turn as she retreated night after night to her bedroom in the basement.

“A year ago, I had severe depression,” she said. “I tried killing myself a year and a half ago. I had been a cutter for three years. There were a lot of family issues, and I got bullied at school a lot. Because I was bigger, I didn’t have a lot of self-worth.”

Just as things were really falling apart, Jeff heard that the show was hosting auditions and planned to film in Denver, a departure from its usual Los Angeles setting.

LEFT: Jeff Macht and his daughter Juliana prepare to head out for Extreme Weight Loss boot camp. RIGHT: The Macht family’s episode of Extreme Weight Loss is slated to air on Sept. 9, when we will find out whether they met their goal. Courtesy photos Thousands turned out, and he never thought he had a chance. As it turned out, they wanted not only him, but Juliana, as well. They became the show’s first dad and daughter team; Jeff is the show’s oldest-ever cast member at 56, and Juliana is the youngest.

Part of the Powells’ mission is to require some soul-searching on the part of their charges, and that’s how Juliana ended up pounding on a punching bag while screaming, “I hate my father,” with him watching from another room.

“I was blown away,” said Jeff.

“I think that’s the first time it clicked for him that he wasn’t being a father,” said Juliana.

We’ll have to wait until Sept. 9 to find out how it all works out on the air, except to report

that they all have witnessed amazing transformations, and they plan to pay it forward by working on issues like suicide prevention and mental-health awareness.

“I’ve never seen a young person like my daughter and the strength she has portrayed this last year,” said Jeff. “I have amazing respect for her. … Because of this year, I got to look at myself, as the head of the household, finally encouraging my family and not finding things wrong with them, but finding things right. Family has always been very important to me. I had just been blind about how much I let it get away from me.”

“My biggest transformation throughout the year was learning that it’s OK, I don’t have to die,” said Juliana. “I have a purpose on this earth.”

Englewood’s Malley rec center hosts lunch bunch

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com About 40 people moved around to greet friends and chat it up, while they waited for lunch to be served July 3 at the Malley Senior Recreation Center.

“Malley and the Volunteers of America join forces to serve lunch five days a week,”

said the center’s lunch coordinator Nancy Dickerson. “The meals are prepared in downtown Denver by the VOA and transported to Malley and about 30 other locations around the city.

“The lunch is pretty popular and we usually have a pretty good turnout.”

The food is delivered in insulated containers and set up in the Malley kitchen. Volunteers get everything ready and, at noon, begin

putting the food on trays that other volunteers deliver to the tables. Milk and water are included and the Malley staff also makes coffee and sells if for 25 cents a cup.

The meal is open to anyone. The suggested donation for guests 60 and older is $2.50 per meal, while the suggested donation for those under 60 is $7.50. But, donation or no donation, Dickerson said no one is turned away.

Doors open at 11:30 a.m. and lunch is served at noon Monday through Friday in the all-purpose room at the Malley Center, 3380 S. Lincoln St. Reservations for lunch must be made two days ahead of time by calling 303762-2660.

Maeko Golus said it is a good experience.

“I like to come here for lunch because it means I don’t have to fix a meal and I don’t have to wash the dishes.”

vvela @coloradocommunitymedia.com On a week when the Bob Beauprez campaign was buoyed by a poll that showed him in a 44 percent tie with Gov. John Hickenlooper, it was instead a different number that stirred a media buzz.

Hours into a statewide Republican “unity tour” on July 2 — where Beauprez traveled with former GOP rivals and his newly pegged gubernatorial running mate — Beauprez’s campaign ended up having to deal with the resurfacing of old comments.

A 2010 video obtained by the Denver Post shows Beauprez making comments to the Denver Rotary Club that were reminiscent of those made by former presidential candidate Mitt Romney in 2012 - ones that ended up derailing the Romney campaign.

“I see something that frankly doesn’t surprise me, having been on the Ways and Means Committee: Forty-seven percent of all Americans pay no federal income tax,” Beauprez said. “I’m guessing that most of you in this room are not in that 47 percent — God bless you — but what that tells me is that we’ve got almost half the population perfectly happy that somebody else is paying the bill, and most of that half is you all.”

Beauprez said “there is a political strategy” on the part of Democrats to keep a large number of people dependent on the government because it helps their party create a “permanent ruling majority.”

Democrats pounced on Beauprez’s comments.

“When he was catering to his Tea Party base to win a primary, he warned of an impending ‘civil war’ and attacked 47 percent of Americans, including veterans and seniors, as lazy,” said Jennifer Koch, executive director for the Colorado Democratic Party, through an emailed statement. “Now he is trying sell his ‘Unity Tour’ across our state.”

But the Beauprez campaign stood by the comments. Campaign manager Dustin Olson said in an emailed statement that Beauprez was making the point that “it’s sad more people are not doing well enough to pay federal income tax.”

Beauprez does refer to income tax in his comments, which is a more accurate assessment than the one Romney made when he was speaking to Republican donors in 2010.

Romney said that 47 percent of the country would end up voting for President Barack Obama “no matter what” because they are “dependent on the government.”

Still, Beauprez’s and Romney’s comments have a similar tone.

Romney said that 47 percent of the country considers themselves victims and feel they are “entitled” to government benefits. Beauprez said that many people are “happy” to let

Olson said the attack over Beauprez’s comments from four years ago is a futile effort on the part of Democrats to distract them from recent news in the race.

“Clearly Hickenlooper and his radical liberal allies are desperate following the recent Rasmussen poll showing Bob Beauprez tied with John Hickenlooper,” Olson said.

The poll, which was conducted in the days after Beauprez won the Republican primary, shows Beauprez tied with Hickenlooper, with both men garnering 44 of support from respondents. Eight percent said they were undecided, while 4 percent said they preferred another candidate.

Rasmussen is considered a Republican-friendly polling firm.

As for Hickenlooper, he told reporters after an unrelated Capitol press conference on July 3 that he had not seen the Beauprez video.

“I just haven’t had time....” Hickenlooper said. “I keep intending to get to seeing that video and understanding it, but as you guys all know there’s a bunch of other stuff (to deal with). You tell me what I should be spending my time on?”

Beauprez touts party unity

The comments surfaced the day Beauprez rallied Republican support on a statewide “unity tour.” The tour featured several prominent Republicans, including his former rivals in the GOP gubernatorial primary — former Congressman Tom Tancredo, Secretary of State Scott Gessler and former state Senate Minority Leader Mike Kopp.

All three men attended a Lakewood stop, where they conveyed the importance of winning Jefferson County — a swing county that is sure to be a key battleground in the fall.

“It’s a swinging county in a swinging state,” Gessler told the crowd that was huddled inside a Jefferson County Republican campaign office.

“The way Jefferson County goes will be the way Colorado goes in November. He will win if you all deliver Jefferson County.”

Beauprez also introduced lieutenant governor candidate Jill Repella as his running mate.

The Douglas County commissioner and Colorado native touted her county for having one of the fastest job-growth rates in the country. She also said the Democraticmajority Legislature “has run amok” by creating laws that hurt local communities — Repella provided no specifics behind that claim.

“I always thought of Colorado as a place where you can breathe freely,” she said. “I feel suffocated now. I fell suffocated because of the things that are being pushed down on us in our communities.”

Beauprez made comments that were similar to those he has been making throughout the campaign — ones that try to paint Hickenlooper as a failed leader who believes that more government is the answer to Coloradans’ problems.

“That’s the real question that’s on your ballot this fall,” he said. “Do we as voters believe and trust in the beauty and decency and the genius of people, or do we believe in government? I believe in people.”

Several new state laws take effect Revenge-posting, fatal hitand-runs, Jessica’s Law, and mairjuana addressed Staff report A wide-ranging group of 50 new laws dealing with everything from Internet crimes to marijuana research to Jessica’s Law took effect July 1.

The statutes are among 425 bills that passed the Legislature and were signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper this year.

One of the more interesting laws creates a misdemeanor for the online posting of sexual photos of a person for the purposes of harassment or financial gain, otherwise known as “revenge porn.”

Posting of the so-called revenge porn is often carried out by an angry lover or spouse as a way of getting back at their partner over a relationship gone wrong. The new law — which had bipartisan support at the Capitol — carries with it a maximum fine of $10,000.

“The effects of someone posting intimate photos online can be devastating to the victim, but now there will be serious consequences for the perpetrators of this horrible practice,” said bill sponsor Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Monument, through an e-mailed statement.

Another noteworthy statute will provide $9 million for the study of the health benefits of medical marijuana.

The legislation sets up a grant program to fund scientific research into the ways that

medical pot can impact those who have chronic ailments.

New public safety laws also took effect on July 1. They included a law that will give police more time to investigate fatal hit-and-runs.

The law extends the statute of limitations for fatal hit-and-runs to 10 years. Prior to the new law taking effect, a hit-and-run crime could not be prosecuted five years after the incident occurred.

“This new law will go a long way toward giving law enforcement the ability to solve any fatal hit-and-runs that occur in Colorado,” said Rep. Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton, a bill sponsor. “The families of victims can now feel more confident that the crime against their loved one will not go unsolved.”

Also, child sex offenders will face more stringent sentencing penalties, under Colorado’s first-ever version of “Jessica’s Law.” The law — based on a national initiative that is named after a Florida girl who was murdered by a sex offender — imposes a mandatory minimum sentencing structure that includes up to life in prison for those who commit violent sexual assaults against children.

Prior to the new law, the most severe sentence a court could hand out was 24 years behind bars.

Also taking effect on July 1 was the state’s annual budget. The budget commits $188 million to flood and wildfire recovery efforts; provides more than $100 million in funding for students attending state colleges and universities; and increases the state’s emergency “rainy day” fund by $130 million.

Suit tackles K-12 negative factor Education advocacy group: Funding mechanism is unconstitutional

By Vic Vela vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A lawsuit alleges that a mechanism that has been used by the state to slash education funding by about $1 billion is unconstitutional — the latest development in an ongoing battle over how K-12 dollars are appropriated.

The lawsuit, which was filed in Denver District Court on June 27, argues that the state’s use of the so-called “negative factor” to control education funding violates constitutional language that was put in place by voters via Amendment 23.

The 2000 provision requires that annual education funding increase by the rate of inflation and enrollment growth.

But in 2010, on the heels of a recession, state lawmakers created the negative factor in response to budget realities facing the state. Those who support the use of the negative factor say it’s important to fund education at high levels, but that the requirements of Amendment 23 are burdensome and can impact budgets for other areas of state spending.

But the lawsuit claims that had the Legislature not created the negative factor, K-12 funding would have been restored to 1988 levels by now — which was the primary goal of Amendment 23.

“The... negative factor and result-

ing funding restrictions are causing irreparable harm to students, districts and educational organizations across our state,” the lawsuit reads.

Plaintiffs point out that since the adoption of the negative factor, per-pupil funding has “dramatically” decreased and hasn’t come close to the funding levels that voters approved in 2000.

The Legislature did backfill $110 million in education funding this year, in an effort to bring down the negative factor.

And lawmakers passed two major school funding measures that allow K-12 financing to grow by nearly $500 million.

The legal team behind the lawsuit includes Kathleen Gebhardt of Children’s Voices, an education advocacy group.

Gebhardt was the lead attorney in the recent Lobato v. State of Colorado lawsuit that claimed that Colorado was failing to adequately fund or properly disperse funding to school districts in the state.

The Lobato lawsuit ended in 2013, when the state Supreme Court ruled that the state’s educational funding system was constitutional.

The plaintiffs consist of school districts that include the Boulder Valley School District and Colorado Springs School District No. 11. Other educational organizations and a group of parents are also listed as plaintiffs.

The state of Colorado, Gov. John Hickenlooper and Education Commissioner Robert Hammond are named as defendants in the case. The new lawsuit will be defended by the state Attorney General’s Office.

STEM school founders launching new project Alexandria program seen as ‘capstone’

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The founders of Highlands Ranch’s STEM School and Academy are holding a series of informational meetings about a planned new sixth- through 12th-grade charter school. The proposed Alexandria School of Innovation will be, one founder believes, the culmination of all they’ve done so far.

“We believe this is our capstone project,” Judy Brannberg said. “We’re taking all the information we learned and gleaned from the past 15 years in our experience with starting charter schools. This is our best project ever, a collection of all the ideas we have about education.”

They aim to open for the 2015-16 academic year, adding grades to eventually offer all grades from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

A site for the new school hasn’t yet been established, though Brannberg said they have focused their search on northern Highlands Ranch and eastern Douglas County.

The school’s charter application will be submitted to the Douglas County Board of Education in late August or early September, she said.

Brannberg and her husband Barry, who founded the STEM School that opened in August 2011, no longer are affiliated with the Highlands Ranch school. But they’re using what they learned through that and other endeavors to create Alexandria.

“It’s not a replication of STEM,” Brannberg said. “This is brand-new. The whole focus is innovation.”

The school is named after Alexandria, Egypt, founded by Alexander the Great and once the largest and most prosperous city in the world. It was a magnet for scholars, scientists, philosophers, mathematicians, artists and historians.

In addition to emphasizing the four major components of a STEM school — science, technology, engineering and math — the Al-

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Birth rates among Colorado teenagers have dropped by 40 percent over the last five years, a result of a state initiative that aims to help young women avoid unwanted pregnancies, state officials announced last week.

“That is not a small drop, that is a very significant drop,” said Dr. Larry Wolk, the state’s chief medical officer, during a July 3 Capitol press conference.

Reducing teenage birth rates is a goal of the 2008-launched Colorado Family Initiative, a program that has provided more than 30,000 intrauterine devices at little or no cost

“You can’t just put kids in front of a computer and say, `Let’s solve a problem or do a project,’” Brannberg said. “You have to have some direction as well. You have to balance inquiry-based learning with direct instruction, a little bit of the old and new together.”

Students also will learn about entrepreneurship.

“We want every student to know how to open their own business,” Brannberg said.

“That’s what really makes America unique.”

Engineering will be taught to students at every grade level.

Parents also will be expected to participate in their children’s education.

Teenage birth rate plummets

for low-income women.

As a result, Colorado moved from the 29th lowest birth rate in the country in 2008 to the 19th lowest in 2012.

The birth rate drop has saved the state more than $40 million in public funds. That’s due to a 23 percent caseload reduction for the state’s Women, Infants and Children program, which provides nutrition education and support for low-income women and their children, according to statistics provided by Gov. John Hickenlooper’s office.

Teen abortion rates have also fallen. The state saw a 35 percent drop in that number from 2009 through 2012 in counties that are served by the initiative.

Lawmakers urge removal of gay-marriage roadblocks Steadman: Not all can afford to wait for ‘inevitable’ to happen

By Vic Vela

vvela @coloradocommunitymedia. com A group of gay state lawmakers on July 3 called on Colorado officials to “concede” that the state’s ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional and to avoid putting up any more legal barriers that delay “inevitable” samesex nuptials.

That urging — and the state Attorney General’s decision that same day to take legal action against a county clerk who has been issuing “invalid” gay marriage licenses — capped a flurry of activity surrounding gaymarriage court battles from last week, an issue that is expected to become even more eventful in the coming weeks.

The lawmakers, all Democrats, held a Capitol press conference to urge Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper and Republican Attorney General John Suthers to essentially get out of the way of legal battles over same-sex marriage that are consistently being won across the country by supporters of marriage equality.

“It’s about to happen and now we’re seeing the end game,” said state Sen. Pat Steadman, DDenver, who added that it is “inevitable” that same-sex marriage will become legal in Colorado, as it has in several other states.

The most recent victory for gay marriage supporters was a 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in Denver last week that Utah could not prevent gays from getting married there.

The appeals court stayed its ruling until the U.S. Supreme Court takes up the issue. And since the 10th circuit court in-

cludes the state of Colorado, it means that the state’s ban on gay marriage — which was supported by Colorado voters in 2006 — will remain in place, pending a Supreme Court decision.

However, that did not stop Boulder County Clerk Hillary Hall from issuing same-sex marriage licenses almost immediately after the court’s decision.

And Boulder County has continued to issue those licenses in spite of threats of legal intervention on the part of the Attorney General’s office.

Those threats culminated in a lawsuit that was filed by the AG’s Office on July 3, which calls on Hall to stop issuing “invalid” marriage licenses.

“Regretfully, our office was forced to take action against Boulder County Clerk Hillary Hall due to her refusal to follow state law,” Suthers said through an emailed statement. “While we would prefer not to sue a government official, Ms. Hall’s actions are creating a legal limbo for both the state and the couples whose relationships she wants to champion. That limbo could have tangible and unintended consequences.”

A hearing was expected to be held in a Boulder courtroom on July 9.

Further showing that this issue moved at lighting-like speed last week, Suthers’ decision to sue Boulder County came just one day after Suthers and Hickenlooper asked a federal court to issue an injunction declaring the state’s gay marriage ban to be unconstitutional.

That move deals with a lawsuit that was filed by six couples in a Denver federal district court who are seeking to overturn the state’s gay marriage ban.

However, they are asking for that injunction to be stayed, pending a Supreme Court outcome. The move suspends all trial court litigation on the matter.

State Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, speaks to reporters about recent developments in court cases involving gay marriage on July 3. Steadman was joined by fellow Democratic gay lawmakers, including, left, House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, Denver, and right, Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, Commerce City. Photo by Vic Vela

Suthers is not a supporter of gay marriage. But he sees the reality before him — that all lower courts have ruled on the side of gay marriage supporters. So, Suthers does not see the point in continuing to drag the issue through the lower court process and using tax dollars to fight against something that is going to be decided by the highest court in the land anyway.

“The motion we filed yesterday seeks to create a cease fire in the battles over same-sex marriage in Colorado,” Suthers said.

“We created a path forward to efficiently and decisively resolve several ongoing legal proceedings,” Steadman commended Suthers and Hickenlooper for

filing the injunction. But he and other gay lawmakers would rather see the injunction filed without a stay.

“I think we will find that the sun will still rise in the east the next day; life will go on unchanged,” Steadman said. “The only thing that will be different is that all families will have equal opportunity to protect themselves and their property and their children, just like everybody else.”

Hickenlooper, who supports gay marriage, acknowledged to reporters later that same day that “there’s a great deal of frustration out there” on the part of same-sex couples who are seeking to marry.

However, the governor said

that the court system has a process that needs to be followed.

“I’m not a lawyer, but as I understand the court of law, when the Court of Appeals issues a stay for their own decision to be judged by a higher court, legally you don’t have that right to go around it,” he said.

But Steadman said that while the issue remains up in the air, some couples might be running out of time to see their dreams of marriage become a reality.

Steadman’s own partner died of cancer prior to Colorado’s legalization of civil unions last year — a law that Steadman was instrumental in creating.

“I can speak from personal experience,” Steadman said. “Not everyone can afford to wait.”

Dr. Oz is no wizard, but you are If you read this column today, I guarantee that you will lose at least five pounds.

Half of all of the programs on television are about eating, half are about dieting and the other half are talk shows, like Dr. Oz’s.

Dr. Oz went to Washington in mid-June and he was grilled by senators who were displeased with his miracle weight-loss claims. One senator said, “I don’t know why you need to say this stuff when you know it’s not true.”

Money, honey.

Dr. Oz (real name Mehmet Cengiz Oz) is highly respected, but not, it turns out, by everyone.

He sounds fine and convincing. Kind of like an evangelist. I don’t trust evangelists, do you? I see thousands in the audience, and my imagination turns them all into sheep, and each one of them is holding up

a Visa card.

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

I’ve always wondered how the program

That’s no problem, that’s an opportunity If you are like me, you have probably been faced with situations or people in your life that could be considered difficult at best, and yes, maybe even a challenge.

Situations or events in our lives that could be considered difficult or challenging could range anywhere from health crises, loss of loved ones, unemployment, rebellious children, addiction, expensive auto repairs, household bills, and many other things.

People in our lives who seem to test us on a regular basis, if not every single day, include gossips, conceited ego-driven folks, people who seem to bring drama with them anywhere and everywhere they go, and those who are stubborn, narrowminded, or hypocritical. I mean, we are surrounded by challenges and challenging people all the time as we try and navigate our lives at work, school, or at home.

Or are we?

I think that in some cases we are not surrounded by them accidentally. I think we choose to surround ourselves with people who bring the drama and conflicts.

We make a conscious decision to stay associated with people in our lives for any number of reasons. They could be family, they just might be someone we have known all of our lives and we accept them and love them for who they are, or we just love the tension or excitement that they bring to every event or meeting.

In many of the challenging or difficult situations as mentioned above like a health crisis, unemployment, or loss of a loved one, I believe there are people who

rise to the occasion and cope as best as they possibly can. I am so encouraged by the emails I receive every day from people who share their hearts and positive attitude as they struggle with things out of their control. You all amaze me and I am proud of you.

In tragic and dark situations there is no doubt that we all experience feelings of sadness. Yet I am always astounded when goodness surfaces in the times of trouble.

I love the stories of people who have lost a loved one and then find an opportunity to volunteer in an area that was meaningful to the person they lost. And the stories of the unemployed who take the opportunity to develop new skills or learn a new trade, maybe even finally pursue a career that they have a passion for instead of what they settled for. And the news of a family facing a health crisis or addiction problem behind closed doors who seek and find the opportunity to rally together to support one another physically, emotionally and spiritually, further unifying or reuniting the family.

And as far as the company we keep and

goes over in Haiti, Burundi and Angola.

Since quitting, Richman has lost 60 pounds. If you are overweight and you want to lose weight, you might listen to almost anyone say almost anything.

Oscar Wilde said, “Everything in moderation, including moderation.”

I wish I could do it, but I can’t. I do everything obsessively, even this column.

I write one, two, three columns every day.

The paper prints one a week.

I have two large art exhibitions coming up months from now. I have been nearly finished for months. I think artists are supposed to be up all night the night before an exhibition.

Obesity in America is in the news every day. But, like I said, half of the shows on Marshall continues on Page 9

letters to the editor This time it is different?

When the crash of 2008 loomed over us and another depression was threatening many, if not most people, thought that it wasn’t like the Great Depression, that this time things were different and it couldn’t happen again. Such is the understanding of the human mind that most do not grasp the concept of cause and effect.

Littleton’s city set up an Urban Renewal Authority back in 1983 and used imminent domain to take property to increase economic development. They issued a TIF (tax incremental financing) to invest city money in a project known as River Front — which lost $17 million for the bondholders, $22 million for the developer and $12 million for the city.

Now that same property is considered blighted so that the same process can be done on the same property again… this time it is different. This time it will work?

Betty Harris Littleton

Great clarity in story

I feel compelled to write to commend Vic Vela on his article “Judge upholds state’s gun laws” in last week’s paper.

His point-counterpoint-ruling format provided great clarity on the issue and ruling.

Too often proposed legislation is written with so much complexity — with double and triple negatives — that an individual is hardpressed to recognize our own position on it.

The resulting chaos can hardly be considered an adequately representative vote.

I also want to note that Weld County Sheriff John Cooke deserves to be immediately relieved of office for his intention to perform his duties based on his political agenda rather than on the basis of law.

Immigration deadlock is political failure In the current combative, partisan environment in Washington, compromise and cooperation are rare occurrences. That is even more evident following House Speaker John Boehner’s recent announcement that the House of Representatives will not act on immigration reform this year.

On June 27, 2013, more than a year ago, the Senate passed a bipartisan bill to fix our broken immigration system. We wrote the bill as a part of the Group of 8, which included Republican Sens. Marco Rubio, John McCain, Jeff Flake, and Lindsey Graham. It also included Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin and Robert Menendez. The bill passed the Senate with nearly 70 votes.

We put politics aside in order to produce this commonsense bill. It has the support of countless organizations — from the Chamber of Commerce to the labor unions, from migrant workers to farmers and ranchers, from law enforcement agencies to the faith community, and Latino leaders.

The bill would strengthen our economy, secure our borders, reform guest worker programs, establish a rational system for the future flow of immigrants, and provide a tough but fair path to citizenship for the

Specifically, the border security provisions include unprecedented measures to double the number of border agents, complete 700 miles of fencing, and utilize new technology to provide 100 percent surveillance. The new guest-worker program would increase the number of visas for workers specializing in high-tech industries and streamline the H-2A visa system for agriculture workers.

According to a report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, it would also decrease the deficit by $197 billion in the first 10 years and by $700 billion over the following decade. It would increase the nation’s GDP by 3.3 percent by 2023 and by up to 5.7 percent by 2033.

Perhaps most importantly, this bill was largely crafted with the help of Coloradans from every region, industry, and background.

We spoke with farmers on the Western Slope and Eastern Plains who are forced to watch their crops wither and die on the vine because they can’t hire the workers they need to harvest them. We met with the members of the state’s ski resorts and tourist industries who are struggling with an unworkable visa system for seasonal workers. The state’s rapidly growing reputation as a hub for hightech innovation is continuously threatened as we watch our best and brightest — educated in our schools — sent back to their native countries to compete against us. We have also heard from thousands of young DREAMers, many of whom were brought here without their knowledge and know no other country but the United States.

The success of the Group of 8 is proof that compromise and cooperation are possible — even for this Congress. Unfortunately, the House of Representatives does not seem to understand the critical need to fix our broken immigration system. The House’s refusal to act has already cost us $13 billion in revenue the bill would have brought. And we will con-

With every day that goes by another harvest season passes, another family is torn apart, another talented student returns to their native country, and another opportunity is lost to fix our broken immigration system.

The bill we passed more than a year ago in the Senate bears witness to this shared identity.

It is encouraging that the president announced his intention to take action within his power to fix our broken system, but without comprehensive legislation from Congress we cannot move our nation forward.

Develomental Pathways celebrates 50 years Organization serves those with developmental disabilities

By Savanna Walker

Special to Colorado Community Media Developmental Pathways celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, and will do so under the leadership of former Douglas County commissioner Melanie Worley.

The agency services Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, as well as a portion of Adams County, providing birth to end of life care for individuals with developmental disabilities.

The agency is invested in both locating and helping children with disabilities.

“The sooner we can find them, the better off they are and the quicker we can mainstream them, if that’s possible,” Worley said.

She estimates about one-third of the children Developmental Pathways works with can be incorporated into mainstream society if they receive proper early attention and are given the help they need.

“We can train parents to work with their child and hopefully lessen their burden,” the organization’s CEO said.

Beyond early intervention and support for children, Developmental Pathways provides diverse services for disabled individuals of all ages. The agency owns 10 group homes with 24/7 care for individuals with high needs, as

sponsors including Englewood, Littleton, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, Sheridan, Centennial and Arapahoe County.

This year, the Colorado Credit Union, Herbaly Exploration and Land Rover of Denver stepped up as private sponsors to help put on the event.

There was an array of paid inflatable attractions located in one area and April McNorton and her family set up the free Grant Street Playground in a nearby area.

“I have been volunteering with this event almost since it began. Since we live on Grant Street, my family and I decided

well as apartment complexes with staff on hand for those who wish to live independently.

Furthermore, Developmental Pathways provides pre-vocational training, job coaching and volunteer opportunities for the individuals it services.

One effect of this reorganization is to prevent conflict of interest, she says. One nonprofit will aid families and individuals in selecting providers, while another will provide those services and coordinate other providers.

“This prevents conflict of interest so families have choice, and know they’re making the

tal Pathways covers contains more children under 3 with disabilities than anywhere else in Colorado. The anticipation is that those numbers will grow by 10 percent in the coming years, Worley said.

To prepare the organization for the growing needs, Worley has instituted an extensive investigation and restructuring of the agency.

One of her most dramatic changes was to separate Developmental Pathways into four distinct nonprofits.

decision for their own lives,” Worley said.

Another new nonprofit, the Sun Foundation, will focus on raising funds to help those whose government waivers cannot meet their needs.

“We want to help as many as are on the waiting list,” Worley said.

In her efforts to reorganize the organization, she was able to find another $1 million that Developmental Pathways was able to put back into the community. And over two more

years, another $4 million in extra funds soon followed.

Worley also seeks to change the culture of Developmental Pathways.

“We had fallen away from looking at what we can do for everyone, looking instead at what we can do within the funding stream,” she said. “If someone comes forward, we should find a way to help them.

“Shame on us if we tell them no.”

A key component of helping others, she said is allowing her staff to feel empowered and giving them the ability to be creative.

She said she makes it a point of telling her staff, “You are empowered, look for a funding source and get creative. It’s a new day. I want them to feel good and impart that to the individuals we help.”

“We still have a long way to go, especially in vocational efforts,” Worley said when asked what changes she would like to see in the coming years.

“I firmly believe that individuals with disabilities can own their own businesses and own their own homes. There needs to be acceptance of their abilities, a true community and a true integration. (People need to) stop thinking of their disabilities and think instead of their abilities.”

to set up these free games and activities and call them the Grant Street Playground,” the Englewood resident said.

“Maybe the inflatables are more fun for some kids but we wanted to have games like we used to do and that kids could do free.”

She works with other volunteer to set up wading pool as a “fishing tank” and another wading pool where kid tried to pick up marbles with their toes.

Every child who took part in these or other Grant Street activities get a one of the small prizes donated by local merchants.

“Setting this up is a lot of work but it also is a lot of fun,” McNorton said. “We usually get here about noon to set up so we can open at 4 p.m. Like I said, it is a lot of work but I love it and I plan to keep on doing it as long as I am physically able

to do it.”

A lot of people left the park when the rains came.

Ryan Franklin rolled down the sides of his tent so he and the family could stay dry.

“We brought the tent for shade and to have an area where we could eat. It was a good thing today because it kept us out of the rain,” the Highlands Ranch man said. “We came because the kids really want to see the fireworks, I am sure the rain will blow over so we are staying put so we have a good place to watch the fireworks.”

Volunteers are important to the success of the event and one of the key volunteer agencies is the Arapahoe County Rescue Patrol.

The young men and women with the patrol are stationed at key locations to

perform duties such as escorting pedestrians across busy Belleview Avenue or directing traffic into the parking areas.

Davis Connors is a captain with the patrol.

“This is my fifth year with the organization,” the recent Heritage High School graduate said. “I joined because I am interested in working with emergency service personnel like firefighters and police officers.”

He said he likes being part of the rescue patrol and it is fun to take part in events like the July 4 celebration.

“I will be going to Montana State University this fall,” he said. “I plan to major in criminal justice and I feel my volunteer work with the patrol will help me with my studies as I seek to prepare for a career in law enforcement.”

‘We can train parents to work with their child and hopefully lessen their burden.’

Eating it up

Competitors in the Highlands Ranch Community Association Hot Dog Eating contest try to see how many dogs they can consume in 5 minutes on July 4.

A near-capacity crowd of hundreds watched as 25 people participated in the Annual Highlands Ranch Community Association Hot Dog Eating contest July 4 at Town Center. The contest was monitored by a team from the HRCA, known as the “Bunnettes,” who ensured all hot dogs were consumed, signaled when additional dogs were needed, and alerted stand-by attendants of any pending incidents of which there fortunately were none. The contest was won by Josh “J-Chill” Childs, who came one dog shy of tying the contest record after eating 11 dogs in five minutes.

The event was sponsored by Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs, which will soon be opening in Town Center.

Toddler drowns Pot at Chatfield Reservoir Family reported Littleton boy missing Staff report Four-year-old Andres Patrick Sena of Littleton drowned in Chatfield Reservoir on July 5.

The child’s family reported him missing at about 5:35 p.m., saying they thought he might be in the water.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Colorado Parks and Wildlife and Littleton Fire Rescue responded. Members of LFR’s Dive Rescue Team found him just off the shore on the southeast bank of the reservoir.

The boy was transported in critical condition to Littleton Adventist Hospital, where he later died. The Douglas County Coroner’s Office was called in at 7:32 p.m. and determined the cause of death was accidental drowning.

“The investigation is still ongoing, to include what led up to the child being in the water and location and activities,” said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, DCSO’s public information officer. “The child was with adults and family.”

initiative “This is something that is regulated, and regulation works,” he said. “No minors are being sold retail marijuana. It just doesn’t happen.”

The public comment in the chamber in that night was also running neck and neck, with seven people in favor of the ban and eight arguing against.

“Making something illegal is not a way to guarantee it doesn’t happen,” said Pam Chadbourne, who lives near The Hemp Center and says it hasn’t been a problem in the neighborhood.

Charles Ferris, on the other hand, worries about safety and property values.

“We are losing good branding in this state,” he said. “Marijuana is the symbol of Colorado now.”

People on either side of the issue bandied about battling statistics, but ultimately it came down to four of the councilmembers feeling that it’s not the right time and Littleton is not the right place for retail sales, especially when Denver is among the few cities in the region so far to have permitted it.

“The voters approved personal use,” said Councilmember Debbie Brinkman.

“I do not believe they voted on retail sales in downtown Littleton or anywhere else.”

However, they might now get the chance.

“I expect this will go to a referendum,” said Councilmember Randy Stein, who represents downtown and voted for the ban. “I hope people will vote their instincts and vote their hearts on this topic.”

Broadway and Dry Creek Road, near the border with Centennial. Watt plans to build 250,000 square feet of commercial property and up to 900 residential units.

The west side of Littleton Village will be oriented toward Broadway, with boutique shops in front, and medium-size boxes — like Kohl’s or a grocery store — behind. In the middle will be a park and two apartment buildings, limited to no more than four stories. Single-family homes will fill the east side, backing up to the existing residential neighborhood.

It’s basically the same plan approved after a substantial amount of public debate in 2006, which went into suspended animation after the economy crashed.

It is, however, a different drainage plan, which has caused some concern, but city staff says it’s the plan they and Urban Drainage and Flood Control originally wanted.

The 2006 plan called for two-thirds of the runoff to go north up Broadway to Little’s Creek and the rest to go south to Lee Gulch. That would have required the city to maintain 3,500 feet of pipe, with the possibility of running it underneath the High Line Canal.

The new plan sends it all to Lee

July 10, 2014 Gulch. The city will only have to maintain 800 feet of pipe, with the rest being buried on the site. Engineers for both the city and the developer said that can be achieved without raising historic flow rates via a detention pond on the property, and the floodplain limit won’t be affected.

Charlie Blosten, the city’s director of public works, said the overall effect will be a 5 percent increase in water that flows through Lee Gulch each year, and a 5 percent reduction in Little’s Creek.

The deal includes $100,000 from Watt for improvements to Lee Gulch.

Councilman Jerry Valdes, the sole vote against the plan, wondered if that was enough.

“Well, $100,000 won’t do everything forever, but it will sure do a lot more than what we’re doing now,” replied Blosten.

The city also agreed to pay for about $819,000 in public improvements for things like street lights and medians on Broadway and Dry Creek.

The developer will be paying the city’s newly implemented impact fees, designed to ensure growth pays for itself. Littleton Village could potentially pay roughly $3.8 million to support things like emergency services, the museum and the library.

Calendar of Events Denver Beer Co. to Expand with Assistance from a complete calendar of South Metro Denver Regis University and South Metro Denver Chamber For Chamber events and for more information, The popular Denver Beer Co.’s founders Patrick Crawford and Charlie Berger met in college. They both were interested in beer.

While not unusual for college students, their interest was in brewing. After graduation, Berger became a brewmaster and opened a small business. Crawford, a satellite engineer at Lockheed Martin, continued brewing beer as a hobby and often called his longtime friend for tips and advice on improving his homemade brew. Three years ago the two men opened the Denver Beer Co., a South Metro Denver Chamber member company.

Recently the great success of the brewery in the Highlands led Crawford and Berger to seek an expansion opportunity. In order to explore the possibility of bottling and distributing their beer throughout Colorado, Crawford and Berger reached out to the South Metro Denver Chamber for assistance.

The Denver Beer Co. was selected to

participate in a special Regis University Master of Business Administration (MBA) School of Management course titled “The South Metro Denver Chamber Project.” The course was designed to allow an MBA class to work with a business selected by the South Metro Chamber.

Businesses chosen are in the process of change, growth and/or expansion. The students, under the direction of Dr. Mike Fisher, a professor in the MBA program, focus on strategic planning and solutions for the company.

Students complete in-depth analysis on the company’s issue and present multiple scenarios that examine human resources, financial projections, and marketing. In the case of the Denver Beer Co., the students examined the company’s ability to expand production and distribute their product throughout Colorado.

Although the conclusion of the report is proprietary, Crawford commented, “We are pleased with the conclusions and the level of

professionalism, commitment and dedication the students and their mentors displayed throughout the project.”

Businesses interested in participating in this project offered by Regis University through the South Metro Denver Chamber should contact Brian Bartony, Senior Business Development Manager, South Metro Denver Chamber at 303 795 0142 ext. 114.

Hepatitis C treatment costly, contentious

By Kristin Jones

Rocky Mountain PBS I-News Colorado’s Medicaid agency has begun covering a breakthrough hepatitis C drug on a case-by-case basis, while it decides who will qualify for the potentially life-saving medication and who will not.

Sovaldi, which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in December, has brought fresh hopes of a cure for the estimated 3.2 million Americans with chronic hepatitis C. But its price tag of $84,000 per treatment — or $1,000 a pill — has put it out of reach for many Coloradans suffering from the disease, which has a bigger footprint in lower-income populations. Many people with the disease don’t know they are infected, but severe cases can lead to liver cancer and cirrhosis.

Hepatitis C is spread through the blood of an infected person. Once a risk in blood transfusions and organ transplants, the disease is now most commonly spread in the U.S. by sharing dirty needles during drug use.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 15,000 Americans die each year from hepatitis C — similar to the numbers that die from AIDS. Faced with a $7.2 million bill after a short time of paying for the drug, Colorado’s Medicaid program put the brakes on covering Sovaldi early this year. Between late January and May, only four of the 43 Medicaid patients who applied to receive the drug received it.

The state Medicaid program will now take into account a list of factors when deciding which patients can receive the treatment, according to interim criteria that went into effect June 1. Among those excluded will be people who have already undergone treatment for the most common genotype of the disease in the United States, and some with a rarer form of the disease believed to be less responsive to Sovaldi.

Dr. Judy Zerzan, the chief medical officer at the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, said final criteria — expected in August — are unlikely to be much different.

“With any new drug, we have to think about safety, efficacy and cost,” she said.

Zerzan raised concerns about the small size of most studies of Sovaldi, and the littleknown potential for relapse. But cost is the main sticking point.

Political pressure requested

The Colorado Medicaid program has called on Gov. John Hickenlooper and lawmakers to put pressure on Gilead Sciences Inc., the manufacturer, to lower its price for the drug.

In a May letter to Hickenlooper, the department raised concerns that covering the drug for all Medicaid clients with the disease would swallow the state’s entire pharmacy budget with appetite to spare.

It would cost between $506 million and $1

billion to cover the estimated 6,028 Medicaid clients in the state with a hepatitis C diagnosis, the department wrote. That is likely an underestimate, according to the letter, since it doesn’t take into account people who gained coverage under a recent expansion of Medicaid.

By comparison, Colorado’s entire pharmacy budget for fiscal year 2012-2013 was only $334 million, while the total state budget, including education, prisons and transportation, was $23 billion.

“We absolutely, sadly, cannot afford to treat everyone with hepatitis C,” Zerzan told Rocky Mountain PBS I-News. She describes her department’s approach as “how do we figure out who are most critical to treat right now, and who will benefit from it?”

Sovaldi is the first of a new generation of hepatitis C drugs expected to upend the market for the disease by offering all-oral treatments — as opposed to the injection-based — that are more effective and have fewer harsh side effects than existing treatments.

Small-scale studies of Sovaldi show a cure rate of more than 90 percent for common forms of the illness — a staggering success for a disease that can leave its victims with ravaged livers, requiring transplants.

Previous, less-effective treatments for hepatitis C relied on combinations including interferon, which can cause depression, anxiety, flu-like symptoms and fatigue.

Gilead beat competitors AbbVie and Merck to market with its pill, and reported Sovaldi sales of $2.27 billion in the first quarter of the year. FDA approval for competitor drug candidates, which may come before the end of the year, could put pressure on Gilead to lower its price.

Meanwhile, Gilead has come under pressure from U.S. legislators. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, was among members of Congress who sent a letter to the pharmaceutical company in March demanding to know how Gilead reached its price tag for Sovaldi.

“Our concern is that a treatment cannot cure patients if they cannot afford it,” the legislators wrote.

Bill allows fast-tracking

DeGette, who sponsored a bill that allows the FDA to fast-track breakthrough drugs like Sovaldi, told I-News that companies that take advantage of that law should incorporate its savings into their pricing.

“The whole issue of how they arrived at the $84,000 per treatment is really a critical issue,” says DeGette.

The congresswoman said Gilead hasn’t yet provided answers to the legislators’ questions about pricing. DeGette, who is the ranking Democratic member on the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, said if she doesn’t get answers from Gilead soon, she will ask the chairman to hold hearings.

Gilead spokeswoman Cara Miller told INews that Sovaldi was priced to match the

cost of prior regimens, and reduces the total cost of hepatitis C treatment when taking into account doctors’ visits and the costs of treating side effects.

Sovaldi “represents a finite cure, an important point to consider when comparing the price of a pill or bottle to the lifetime costs of treating a chronic disease,” Miller said in a statement.

Dr. Greg Everson is a University of Colorado Hospital hepatologist who conducted studies of Sovaldi with funding from Gilead.

He’s a proponent of treating more people with Sovaldi, saying it may save money in the end.

“The focus on the price per pill is pretty short-sighted because we’re losing touch with really big issues,” says Everson. “Before this drug came out, we were spending a lot of money on hep C and not getting anywhere near these results.”

Savings not clear Cost comparisons remain contentious, though. Zerzan notes that the disease is slowmoving, and that most people with hepatitis C never deteriorate to the point of developing cirrhosis or liver cancer — the most expensive stages of the disease. She cites a study by the California Technology Assessment Forum that concludes that any savings would come from treating only the most serious cases.

Patient advocates note the human costs of leaving the disease untreated.

Colorado Medicaid’s criteria for covering Sovaldi “has created many questions about why some patients have access to care and why others do not,” says Joe McCormack, executive director of the Rocky Mountain division of the American Liver Foundation, which promotes liver health.

“My hope is that we can get to a place soon where all patients that would benefit from the new treatments would have access,” says McCormack.

Kim Bossley, a Longmont resident and a mother, is among the lucky few who have experienced the benefits of Sovaldi firsthand.

Bossley contracted hepatitis C at birth, when both she and her mother received blood transfusions. Her mother later died from the disease, and Bossley seemed to be on the same path. She had been through multiple failed treatments, suffering through side effects like hair loss, body sores, depression and extreme fatigue.

She had reached stage-4 cirrhosis by the time she enrolled in Everson’s study of Sovaldi last fall. Within five days of taking the drug, the virus was undetectable.

“We cried a lot,” says Bossley, remembering that when she was given the diagnosis nine years ago, she was told there was no cure.

“Watching my mom deteriorate from the disease was really tough, and then seeing the same symptoms in me.”

Bossley leads the Bonnie Morgan Foundation, which helps offset medical costs for people with hepatitis C. But she says her organization hasn’t been able to keep up with the towering costs.

“It’s heartbreaking for me to see so many people who need it,” says Bossley. She says the drug company and the insurers need to come together to find a way for more people to access the drug. “They struggle daily, while these people are dragging their feet.”

Travel to wartime Littleton Museum exhibit opens door to life on home front

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com The idea for a Littleton/World War II exhibit started with the plan to display a collection of large black-and-white war photos circulated by the Associated Press, which were booked for the Littleton Museum. Museum director Tim Nimz and staff developed a related yearlong, detailed exhibit that includes the temporary transformation of the 1893 Bemis farmhouse to a circa 1940 home, with interpreters dressed in 1940s style.

Since the AP photographs, displayed around the gallery’s edges, cannot stay for the entire duration of the exhibit, others will be substituted — plus posters. The highly detailed exhibit will need more than one visit to absorb it, in any case.

Central/rear in the gallery is a video, edited by exhibit director Bill Hastings, that presents “World War II in 14 minutes,” he joked.

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

if you go “Littleton Goes to War” is open through July 5, 2015, at the Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., Littleton. Admission is free. Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays; 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays.

303-795-3950.

Watching it before touring the exhibit gives structure to the collection of artifacts and brings up familiar faces and voices: Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Winston Churchill, Dwight Eisenhower, Adolf Hitler and more. (Hastings noted that he did not edit Churchill’s speech, because he considers it among the greatest ever.)

The museum looked to its own collection, and requested help from local sources such as the Holmes family, who owned American Coleman Motors and manufactured heavy equipment for the war effort. (The Libby Bortz Assisted Living Center now occupies the site.) The staff borrowed materials from the15th Division Museum in Colorado Springs, the World War II Museum in New Orleans, Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum and more.

A display case to the right of the video includes uniforms, guns and other artifacts, including a telegram to (late Littleton activist and mayor) Frances Vaughn Gardinier at 360 Ash St., Littleton, ordering him to report to the Navy Recruiting Station at 8 a.m. Monday, Nov. 20, 1944. He returned to serve his hometown for many years.

Several exhibits honor women who served in various capacities: WACS, WAVES, SPARS and Red Cross nurses — as well as Army and Navy nurses. Local names are inserted in small artifacts. A central case honors Rosie the Riveter, a generic symbol for women who took manufacturing jobs at factories large and small, including Littleton’s Heckethorn Manufacturing and American Coleman Motors.

Throughout are smaller items that give a personal flavor to the beautifully installed exhibit: a blocky wooden radio summons up the image of a family gathered around it after dinner — perhaps on Dec. 7, 1941, when the Japanese bombed the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor. We hear Roosevelt declare that it is “a day which will live in infamy.” Or it might be a firm instruction to “get out there and grow

ABOVE: Families used to gather around a radio like this one to hear the evening’s war news. BELOW: Victory Gardens were highly recommended for all who could manage it. One could write to Victory Gardens, Washington D.C. for instructions.

your own Victory Garden.” (For help on how to do so, write to: Victory Garden, Washington, D.C.) Behind the radio, a panel holds a Littleton Honor Roll and copies of the Littleton Independent reporting on local service men and women and home-front activities.

Hometown heroes with special mention are Tom Heaton in the European Theater and

William Howarth, DVM, in China-BurmaIndia, where his skills as a veterinarian were called upon.

An additional segment of the “Littleton Goes to War” exhibit is the one-year conversion of the 1893 Bemis farmhouse to a 1940s home. It was not ready for viewing when we visited on July 2 and will be the subject of a future story.

The Hive features a large menu of madeto-order sandwiches, burgers, soups and salads.

Gourmet wood-fired pizzas will be intro-

Colorado history celebrated

In honor of Colorado’s 138th birthday, History Colorado museums will be free to the public Aug. 1 and 2, offering visitors two days to celebrate Colorado’s wild, colorful, historical, traditional and modern culture.

The two-day Colorado Day celebration at the History Colorado Center, 1200 Broadway, will include food, music, dancing and hands-on activities as well as a chance to recognize how Colorado’s past has shaped today.

“No other organization can help Colora-

dans understand the present in the context of the past the way we can,” said Kathryn Hill, History Colorado chief operations officer. “We celebrate Colorado’s places, stories and cultures every day, and this is evident the minute you enter our museums. On Colorado Day, we offer even more for visitors of all ages to spark imaginations and stimulate conversations about our state’s issues and future.”

Beginning at 8 a.m. Aug. 1, History Colorado and its partners, the Department of Agriculture, the Colorado Department of Military and Veterans Affairs and Visitor Services will meet on the west steps of the state Capitol to honor the occasion. The Capitol will be decorated for the event, and will feature square dancing, Colorado candy and birthday cake, living history presentations and other special programs, followed by a procession from the Capitol to History Colorado.

Colorado Proud will hold a press conference at the History Colorado Center immediately afterward to recognize Aug. 1 as Colorado Day and to launch the Colorado Proud Choose Colorado Tour — a monthlong, statewide road trip to celebrate food and agricultural products that are grown in Colorado.

The Choose Colorado Tour, scheduled from Aug. 1 through 27, integrates 10 agricultural communities, celebrates farmers who help our state thrive, and educates and influences consumers along the journey.

Nice move by Adams Five-time Academy Award-nominated actress Amy Adams, who was born in Italy and raised in Castle Rock, gave up her first-class

seat to an American soldier on a flight from Detroit to Los Angeles on June 27.

“While Amy’s random act of kindness was done purely from the goodness of her heart, word quickly spread of her good deed after Jemele Hill, host of ESPN’s `Numbers Never Lie,’ saw it all go down and took to Twitter to share the touching moment,” according to a story in InTouch magazine.

“Just saw actress Amy Adams do something incredibly classy. She gave her 1st class seat to an American soldier. I’m an even bigger fan now,” Hill tweeted.

“Once we boarded, I saw she was in first class. I was upgraded to first class and she was a couple of rows behind me. I think she must have said something to the flight attendant, because before we took off she had vacated her seat and the flight attendant brought the soldier to her seat.”

From alleys to gallery Museo de las Americas hosts unusual exhibit

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “The marks told a story of the beautiful crude, the elaborate conversations, transforming the surface …,” artist Josiah Lopez writes.

A visitor to “Outside in 303” at Denver’s Museo de las Americas walks through a darkened passage, past dingy gray (think alley) walls filled with urban graffiti, then into galleries filled with mostly brilliantly colored, edgy, lively, skillfully rendered works by artists whom curator Maruca Salazar calls “the west side warriors.”

She and co-curator Gwen Chanzit turned to poetry for an unusual curator’s statement — and the seven varied artists’ statements also take a poetic turn. Allow time to read them.

The curatorial statement says: “My plate is

full! ... And I have devoured my place / in this world. / I smell the poison vapors of the can and am / Protected by smoking mirrors, I find cold alleys / phantom shadows and the other side of the tracks. / The cracks in the street of my neighborhood / reflect ancient peaks to the west of my heart. / Can I be swallowed by the streets and become / invisible? / I call the West Side warriors to protect the hollow ground. / But … for now I can only paint the emotions, / dreams and hopes of the voices on the walls. / To the graffiti artists of Outside In 303 / Be Brave.”

This group of seven local artists, born and raised on Denver’s west side, “who typically use the environment as their canvas, face the challenges and constraints of being placed in the `white box’ walls of a museum,” Salazar said. They are: Jack Avila, Javier Fidelis Flores, “Kans 89,” Mario Zoots, Josiah Lopez, Victoriano Rivera and Gabriel Salazar.

In addition to his wall art — strong blackand-white drawings of street people on carefully arranged slabs of paper — Josiah Lopez has created a short video piece called “Enter, Escape, Viajar.” It includes transportation images, both realistic and abstracted, constant

Mario Zoots’ colorful large painted canvas reflects folk patterns, cartoonish faces and precisely arranged artifacts of some sort. It glows at the viewer.

Jack Avila’s large painting is on unmounted canvas, with grommets in the edges for mounting on the wall. Is it an image of a deconstructed piece of machinery? Some of his tools are displayed beneath it on the floor.

Paper panels by Josiah Lopez, with powerful black-andwhite drawings of street people fill a wall. motion and an accompanying soundtrack of Denver’s urban noise. He also is responsible for a wall of patterned folk images and the mini-tagger figure standing at the edge of it, contemplating.

“Kans 89” told museum staff that she has a long connection with the Museo — she remembers coming there as a 6-year-old. Her body of work, “Broken Peace’s,” speaks to her playful exploration of individual identity, including music, cartoons, graffiti art and color — some images deconstructed. She uses traditional materials and those of the graffiti artist, hoping for a dialogue between artist and viewer wherever her art is located.

Jack Avila writes of his youthful fascination with graffiti: “… notices and claims of who’s been there and who stays there by inner city youth; as common as it was, always fascinated me from an early age. Like a secret language posted in public, so foreign to most it was visually discounted as garbage.…

This living bulletin, virtual barometer of the streets, of all its hazards and gems, still speaks to me today….”

His unmounted canvas, secured through grommets like a banner, is a large, powerful yellow and black graffiti/painting suggesting deconstructed machinery to this viewer. Beneath it, he displays his tools and as the wall progresses to the corner, there is a composition of found materials and the dictum: “Use your world.”

Celebration, remembering, and a look ahead Each year in late June, members of the active, longstanding community group, Friends of the Littleton Library/Museum gather to congratulate themselves on another good year with meaningful contributions to the organization’s two favorite city departments. June 27 was the chosen date for this year’s gathering and the group assembled at Bemis Library for conversation, wine, dinner and entertainment.

In 1963, when the group saw the light of day, there was an obvious need for a new library in Littleton. The establishment of Martin Marietta and Marathon Oil had just brought many highly educated families to the area and, with them, a demand for an improved book collection and the facility to house it.

A new building meant a bond issue must be passed. Mary Ake then formed the Friends group, and she and others cam-

paigned for a positive vote. (Ake was an honored guest at the 50th annual meeting in 2013.)

Plans by architect Eugene Sternberg were approved and the proposed library was named after Edwin A. Bemis, distinguished Littleton native, and longtime publisher of the Littleton Independent (as well as a contributor to the new library.)

After it opened, the Friends continued as a support group, taking the Littleton Museum under its wing when it opened on 39 acres across the street, with its historical collection and two working farms.

As of this writing, Tim Nimz serves as director of both and the FOL/M supports programs equally to fund needs not covered by the city budget — such as concerts, lectures, special equipment and programs.

The most recent “Oracle” newsletter reports 17 new memberships and three renewals for a total of 1,206 active Friends.

Treasurer Carol Kluver reported children’s room chairs, sending staff to meetings, the Old Timers Luncheon, a refrigerator, beekeeping, the Western Welcome Week Parade fire engine, Children’s Writing Contest, newsletter and annual meeting on the list of expenditures. Income is from investments, the Craft Fair, the ongoing book sale, memberships, contributions she said.

Theater troupe brings magic to Castle Pines Kids chosen in audition will stage ‘Wizard of Oz’

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com From July 14 to 19, a group of local children will visit a pair of worlds that live in the imagination. First will be the engaging world of live theater, where they participate as actors — or perhaps technical crew — and second, L. Frank Baum’s magical Land of Oz. The nationally recognized Missoula Children’s Theatre will make its first visit to Castle Pines, holding auditions, rehearsals and performances at Rocky Heights Middle School, as well as two free workshops for the community. MCT has a great formula worked out, proven successful through the years: It sends two young theater professionals to a community that hires them to form a bunch of children into a working cast in a week.

Their vehicle is equipped for a particular show: in this case, “The Wizard of Oz,” with script, props, costumes, makeup and sound equipment — everything needed to mold about 50-60 children into a cast of young thespians in a week.

Then they put on a show for families and friends and head out to the next engagement, leaving a group of kids with new skills and a fun summer experience.

Parker, Highlands Ranch, South Suburban Parks and Recreation and other metro area organizations have called upon MCT for many years for affordable extra summer programming.

Cheryl McGovern, who is leading the program in Castle Pines, was familiar with MCT, due to her previous work with theater in Northglenn, where her own

children were involved when young. (For many kids who attended the final performance there, it was their first live theater — they thought they were going to see a movie.)

McGovern is enthusiastic about the quality and the reasonable cost — $55 per child. “Kids acquire life skills — giving a book report is nothing after this,” she said.

McGovern is a board member of the Castle Pines Arts and Cultural Foundation, formed in 2011 as Castle Pines Arts Commission, to bring arts programming to the community. They have applied for nonprofit status with the Internal Revenue Service, and have had some financial help from the city in the interim, she said. (The next event is a dinner/concert at Cherokee Castle with the 17th Avenue Allstars.)

A two-hour group audition, 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., for “The Wizard of Oz” will be held on July 14 at Rocky Heights Middle School, 11033 Monarch Blvd., Castle Pines, where 50-60 kids will be chosen for the cast. It is not limited to Castle Pines residents.

The kids will stay on and start rehearsals, which continue daily through the week, 12:30-5 p.m., learning lines, songs, dances and more. Costumes and makeup are provided. On July 19, they will put on a performance for families and friends.

In addition, two free workshops will be offered (register: castlepinesarts.org/ event.)

• 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. July 15 at Cherokee Ranch and Castle: Behind the Scenes Workshop. (Parents can take a castle tour if they like.)

• 6 to 6:45 p.m. July 16 at Castle Pines Community Center: Improv Theater workshop for ages 6-18, limited to 60.

Catching the go-kart craze Facilities opening, expanding in region

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The go-kart craze is gaining some traction, and the south metro area is going along for the ride.

K1 Speed is getting ready to wave the green flag on a new Highlands Ranch location, expected to open the third week of July at 8034 Midway Drive. Kids and adults alike can take to the indoor track in the electric karts, battling it out for pole position.

“We are very thrilled to be opening in the Highlands Ranch area,” said Randall Hoppe, company spokesman.

K1 got off the starting line in Carlsbad, Calif., in 2003, driven by David and Susan Danglard. Real racecar driver Boris Said climbed on board later as a co-owner. He’s been racing professionally for more than 20 years, competing across North America and Europe in a variety of classes and cars.

“Our nationwide indoor karting facili-

ties are designed to provide our customers with an authentic racing experience, and the fact that our tracks carry his seal of approval is an example of our commitment to this goal,” reads the company website.

The Highlands Ranch site will be the company’s 23rd and will employ about 25 people.

There’s big news at The Track at Centennial, as well. Jim Keesling, owner and avid kart racer, announced in the spring that he’s partnering with the owners of Rush Indoor Kart Racing to build a 70,000-squarefoot facility to house them both at Keesling’s current location.

“This is truly a unique opportunity,” he said in a news release. “This is the first in the United States, and may be the first in the world, that combines the best of outdoor state-of-the-art competitive karting, corporate karting and team building with a first-class indoor karting entertainment facility at the same location in an urban setting.”

The Track, in its eighth year, has held events for the top-kart racing series in the country, The Rotax Max Challenge.

South metro’s beer mug runneth over Two more microbreweries added to fast-growing list

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two more craft breweries recently joined the fast-expanding family of south metro beer makers.

Three Freaks Brewery opened in early June at Quebec Street and County Line Road in Highlands Ranch. Also in northern Douglas County, Living the Dream opens July 12 off Highlands Ranch Parkway and Santa Fe Drive.

“It’s exciting for everybody that lives out here and wants to enjoy a quality, craft beer,” said Three Freaks owner Jeff Atencio. “I only hope we can live up to the same standards of those that were here before us. I’m excited to be part of it.”

The two tasting rooms opened just weeks behind neighboring breweries Blue Spruce in Centennial and 38 State in Littleton. Highlands Ranch’s Grist, which opened in late 2013, led the recent spate of microbrewery openings.

“We’re all around the same size, all in the same stages, going through all of the growing pains together,” said Living the Dream co-owner Carrie Knose, who sees the convergence of small brewers as a plus for all.

“It’s almost like Napa,” she said. “It’s the experience of going to different locations and trying different beers. You can go somewhere, do a sampler tray and say, `Let’s go down the road and do Three Freaks or Grist or Lone Tree.’”

Most of the tasting rooms are in off-thebeaten-path locations, and some — like Lone Tree and Living the Dream — are tucked into strip developments among industrial neighbors.

“That goes with the nature of the business,” Knose said. “Breweries typically are in industrial areas. We happen to be manufacturing a very likable product. It makes it almost like a scavenger hunt to find them.”

To help beer lovers in their quest, south metro brewery owners are together working to start a microbrewery tour bus.

“It’s almost as though as soon as you make your way up Santa Fe, you’ve entered the beer valley,” Atencio said. “What’s nice about the craft beer community is we’re not looking at somebody who’s out for a buzz. We’re looking

at somebody who’s enjoying the beer and appreciating the style.”

With so many breweries, “I think we’re looking at a situation where the (breweries) will attempt to challenge each other to make great beers. I’m pretty sure we’re going to see some very healthy, friendly competition. The consumer is going to benefit from that.”

Three Freaks

Three Freaks is located in a strip mall just off one of Highlands Ranch’s busiest highway interchanges, and directly backing to the C-470 bicycle trail.

A longtime Highlands Ranch resident, Atencio determined long before he found the space that his business would be in Highlands Ranch. He wasn’t aiming for an easy commute. Atencio is sold on the taste of the area’s water, which he sees as key to making great-tasting beer. As a former South Metro Fire inspector and 27-year home brewer, Atencio knows a thing or two about water and beer making.

“I’ve been brewing with the water in Highlands Ranch for many years,” he said. “So we’re using the same stuff now we did our homework with. That helps me to identify what we’re looking for as far as the taste. It’s been a benefit to us, and hopefully something the beer drinker can identify with.”

Part of Atencio’s new job includes studying his customers’ responses to his products, and trying to ascertain what strikes the deepest chord.

“The Lucky Clover (red) has been very popular,” he said. “The stout is very strong but hasn’t overtaken the red. The Last Man Standing Belgian on certain evenings is the most popular; that kind of came as a bit of a surprise. So far, it’s been pretty equal among the three.”

Like Living the Dream, 38 State and Blue Spruce, Atencio encountered stumbling blocks that pushed back the planned opening date of his five-barrel tasting room.

“But now, we’re open,” he said. “I’m excited about looking forward, and the opportunity for us to be able to just make some fun, exciting beers.”

Three Freaks is located at 7140 E. County Line Road. For more information, visit www.3freaksbrewery.com.

Three Freaks owner Jeff Atencio, right, serves tasters to Highlands Ranch residents and first-time customers Dan and Sue Dolquist July 2. Photos by Jane Reuter open the rolling garage doors of their sevenbarrel microbrewery July 12, with five beers on tap.

The words Knose uses to describe them are enough to make even a non-beer lover salivate. The cream stout is modeled after a white Russian cocktail using “rum, vanilla, chocolate and coffee.”

“I added in peanut butter to give it a nice, organic nutty background,” she said. “Our South Island Wit … is very citrusy. It screams summer.”

The tasting room, meanwhile, is designed to scream Colorado. Knose and Bell chose the name to reflect their love of the state and its lifestyle, using cast-aside skis and wood to decorate the space.

“Most of us love to ski, climb, mountain bike, backpack, kayak,” said Knose, a former ski instructor. “We wanted to bring that whole outdoor Colorado theme into our taproom.”

Like Three Freaks, the microbrewery just south of Littleton backs to a bicycle trail, in this case the High Line Canal. The location is a natural tie-in to Knose’s and Bell’s love of the Colorado lifestyle, and makes a summer opening ideal, she said.

“We would have opened a few months ago according to plan,” Knose said. “But I think the timing is really good, especially with the bike-ability.”

Knose got her start in the industry working for Samuel Adams in Ohio. The company

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A vacation choice seems less interesting than when you first made it. Could it be a matter of the place or the people going with you?

Find out before you consider a change of plans.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Someone might be overriding your leonine logic to get you to agree to “favors” you would normally avoid. Take a new look at what you’ve been asked to do and see if you’ve been misled.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Try to keep that emerging “judgmental” aspect in check this week. Too many critiques on relatively unimportant issues could create a lot of negative bounce-back reactions.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Facing unpleasant facts about an associate isn’t easy. But ignoring them isn’t wise. Ask a trusted (and neutral) friend to help guide you on what to do and how you might do it.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A shift in opinion regarding a workplace situation could go a long way in vindicating the stand you’ve taken. But be aware that a satisfactory resolution could still be a long way off.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) It’s not like you to choose the easy way rather than the right way to do things. So, follow your instincts and feel assured they will lead you to the right decision. Good luck.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Hold off on making a personal commitment until you find out what it really entails and whose interests are actually involved. There could be hidden facts you need to know.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A new friend offers an unexpected opportunity that could lead to a career change. Check it out carefully and consider getting an assessment from someone familiar with this field.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A surprising discovery leads to mixed reactions from those involved in the “revelation.” But as you come to appreciate the truth, you’ll be able to also come to terms with your feelings.

ALL SUMMER STRONG Area high school football players work on power, speed in offseason

hour of strength training. So it’s a three-hour program, four days a week. It’s basically 12 hours a week the kids spend with us.”

However, many players elect to continue to work during the summer with personal trainers.

“There are some real good ones and there are some that in my opinion are just taking your money,” Robinson said.

By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Brandon Leahey and Alex Keys are two of the myriad players in the south metro area who believe improvement on the football field begins months before the season commences.

Almost all area high schools begin offseason drills in December after the football season ends and early in the summer when those athletes who intend on improving their strength, agility and skills start to work extra hard.

Chaparral’s Leahey, a 6-foot-3, 285-pound senior offensive guard/ tackle, starts the day with a workout at Six Zero Strength & Fitness in Centennial before heading to the school for another exercise session.

This is a routine Monday through Thursday and then two days a week he stops at Lifetime Fitness in Parker for speed, agility and conditioning workouts.

The workouts at Six Zero are conducted by former University of Colorado and NFL player Matt McChesney, who spent one of his five pro seasons with the Denver Broncos.

“I feel the training is very important,” said Leahey. “It’s my No. 1 priority this summer and come school, then school is the priority.

“I’ve been doing this for four or five years. It’s been so much different from year to year on the football field. Each year I’ve gotten so much better. With all the hard work I’ve put in, it has really made a difference.”

Keys, a 6-foot, 285-pound senior center, works out three hours in the morning Monday through Thursday during the summer with the Highlands Ranch High team and also attends training sessions with McChesney. He also has a part-time job during the summer.

A busy time of year

Spare time is at a premium.

“It’s football and work,” Keys said following a morning workout session at Highlands Ranch. “I love off-season training. I’m always excited to come in. It’s fun to get the whole team back in the summer. It’s important to be here and I’m glad to

Under a watchful eye

Highlands Ranch center Alex Keys was ready for a morning workout at the school last week. Photos

by Jim Benton be here.

Former Lakewood coach Mark Robinson is the new mentor at Highlands Ranch. He outlined what the Falcons and many other schools do during the off-season.

“I don’t think there is any program that isn’t doing off-season training,” he said. “After the season is over going into Christmas break that’s the time we get things started. We work technique as far as the weight room is concerned, get benchmarks set, goals set and then by January when we get back, everybody is going full speed. At that point you are getting the athlete trained.

“In today’s world, if you are not developing a player you are going to fall behind and that player is behind. That’s why these kids are bigger, faster and stronger than they were 20 years ago.”

Robinson has his players in the weight room five days a week starting in January for the strength phase.

The spring training segment consists of improving speed and agility.

“The way we run our summer program is to come out for an hour in the morning and that’s when we install our offense and defense,” Robinson said. “We also work on technique skills. We take another hour and work on speed and agility every single day and then another

One of the good trainers, Robinson said, is McChesney.

“When I got the job he was one of the first people I went to talk to,” Robinson said. “I knew he has a lot of kids and has several of our kids.

He’s willing to sit down and say, what are you doing with the kid in the morning to make sure he’s not doing it again in the afternoon. What Matt will do is take all the extra time that we don’t have and he will work on everything else. All the other different skills, all the other strength components that we might not be able to do with 65 guys.”

McChesney has just a few athletes during his training sessions and stays with the athletes during workouts, often offering individual instructions.

“Off-season training is more important than anything else they do,” said McChesney. “A lot of strength coaches have 100 or some odd kids to get through the program and there is not a lot of commitment to reps and tempo. In here it’s all dedicated to the mindset of toughness of every rep, every day. It’s constantly changing and trying to get the athlete to bend his knees to get flexibility and things like that.

“We run a lot of people out because they are not used to finishing, they are not used to committing at a high level. This is the closest thing they are going to get to a college atmosphere in the state of Colorado. A lot of high school coaches disagree with what I do, the college coaches give me affirmation of what I’m doing is correct. The individuals that come here and work hard get something out of it but it also exposes people pretty quick too.”

McChesney claims there is no

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

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Mike Berry continues working to translate good ideas into improved performance of the engine he’ll be riding in the pro stock motorcycle class at the Mile High National Drag Races July 18-20 at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison.

“We have been struggling all year,” the Englewood businessman said. “Oh, the bike is running but we just haven’t been able to put the (right) combination together to raise performance about 3 percent so we can place in the field.”

A pro stock motorcycle uses a 160 cubic-inch racing engine mounted on a specialized frame and body that resembles a production bike.

The motor produces more than 370 horsepower, launches the bike from a standing start and provides the power so that the bike reaches upward of 190 miles an hour in the less than 7 seconds it takes to reach the finish line a quarter mile away.

Riders race side-by-side in a pro stock motorcycle drag race. A rider positions his bike, takes his place, revs his engine and when the green light goes on, the bike and driver launch off the starting line. The torque from the engine lifts the front tire off the ground for the first 60 or 70 feet of the quarter mile race.

“You launch off the line in a hurry,” Berry said. “I guess you would compare it to sitting on the end of a gun barrel and catching the bullet as it is fired. It is a rush and I love it.”

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

Photo by Tom Munds Berry, a Littleton resident, is an independent racer who, with help from a friend from Tulsa, John Hamock, tries to compete with teams with major sponsors.

“At least one of the full-time teams has four motorcycles with sponsors that provide a budget of about $3 million a year,” he said. “We make a lot of our parts and do a lot of other things as we try to compete on our own dime.”

The veteran racer said running at the

NHRA Mile HigH NAtioNAls When - July 18-20 Where - Bandimere Speedway, 3051 South Rooney Road, Morrison

Schedule - Qualifying in the Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle classes begins at 4:45 p.m. on July 18 and 3:15 p.m. on July 19. Eliminations begin at

11 a.m. July 20. Sportsman semifinal elimination rounds are scheduled for 1:45 p.m. Sportsman finals will begin at 3 p.m. July 20 with finals in the four pro divisions set to begin at 3:50 p.m.

Ticket information - 697-6001 or www. bandimere.com

Mile High Nationals is a challenge for all the teams entering the competition.

“The altitude means there is less oxygen in the air,” he explained. “That means just about everything has to be developed just for this race. Even with all the adjustments, the altitude and thin air means a power loss of about 20 percent.”

He said racing a pro stock bike has special challenges because it doesn’t have a supercharger or turbo to increase airflow to the engine.

“We have a bike that will run at the Mile High Nationals,” Berry said. “There will probably be 20 or 25 bikes entered and only 16 qualify for the race. We don’t just want to qualify, we want to finish high in the final standings. That is why we are still making adjustments and changing parts to try to improve performance. We’ll keep working and hope we will have a bike that runs well at race time.”

Berry grew up in Lakewood, lives in

Littleton and started his business, MB Precision Machining, in Englewood about 25 years ago.

“I love racing and, while we don’t have a lot of success, I stick with it,” he said. “In a way, racing is my advertising because it promotes my business. My business manufactures parts for my bike, others see my parts, want them, and become my customers.”

He said he loves racing enough to want to do it full time. But, he also has a thriving business so it is a balancing act between running his business and racing.

“I’ll admit I have given thought to putting my business on the back burner and racing full time,” Berry said. “But it is only a thought because I have a comfortable lifestyle I really like and full-time racing means all that would change dramatically. So, I just stick with racing part time and wishing I could get to more races.”

“Overtraining is a little bit of a myth,” he said. “A lot of high school programs do core every day. If you do that every day you are overtraining as a program. We change in up in here consistently and we rarely powerlift, if ever. It’s all about range of motion, explosion and finishing.”

Different approaches Valor Christian has captured five consecutive state football championships over three classifications and Eagles coach Rod Sherman likes to keep off-season training on an intramural basis.

“Our kids all train in-house with teammates,” said Sherman who noted many of his players are involved in other sports. “We don’t have many guys train with outside people. The biggest thing in the off-season training is athletic development.”

Cherry Creek coach Dave Logan wants his players to be fit.

“That’s an interesting phenomenon,” he answered when the use of personal trainers was brought up. “You want to encourage kids to be fit and continue to work out but you also, however, want to encourage kids to work together as a team and be in the weight room together.

“Our speed and conditioning stuff in the summer is pretty intensive. We want to make sure kids are there and go through that because it does help prevent injuries, it does help you get in shape and it will test you physically. It has allowed us over the years when the season finally rolls around, at least from a physical standpoint, we are usually ready to go.”

Logan, the former CU and NFL player, will be starting his 22nd season as a high school coach. He has coached at four different schools and has guided teams into the playoffs in 19 seasons and has won six state championships.

Creek’s off-season training follows the basic script of many schools — he urges athletes to play other sports and to take time off for family vacations.

“What we do has not changed very much,” he said.

“We go Monday, Wednesday, Friday and every other Saturday morning. It is a nine-week deal. I tell the kids I’m not missing one day and all of the varsity coaches will be there. If we get 85 percent turnout rate we don’t go two-a-days in August. In 22 years, I’ve never had a two-a-day practice. I remember as a player I just thought that was counterproductive to getting off to quick start.”

Logan says summer workouts are important.

“If we didn’t have to do it, it would be a lot easier just to show up two weeks before school starts,” he said.

“That’s how it used to be back in the day. My golf game would be a lot better than it is. You wouldn’t have to worry about anything else in the summer, just show up when school starts and say `let’s go.’

“I’ve always believed that the time you spend in the summer, not only getting yourself physically ready, but understanding what offensively and defensively we are trying to do, the time you spend in the summer really helps you get off to quick start when the fall starts.”

Taking advantage of down time from training during the summer for many players is special.

“I hang out with friends, usually on the weekends,” said Leahey. “I go see movies, hang out, play video games with them at their house, and get some food.”

Youth golf program ends with party Hole-N-One wraps up with festivities, food

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com The east end of Broken Tee at Englewood Golf Course resembled an amusement park on July 2, with games and inflatable attractions erected for the celebration wrapping up this year’s Hole-NOne Junior Golf Program.

The Hole-N-One program is designed to teach golf fundamentals in five onehour group lessons for 5- to 15-year-olds.

There is one program for 5- to 7-yearolds and a separate program for 8- to 15-year-olds.

“This was a very good year,” said Bob Spada, golf course manager. “We had more than 400 boys and girls take part in the program this year. We feel the program went well for the kids and also for their parents. We offered inexpensive parent group lessons, with three lessons for $10. A lot of parents took part and complimented us on the program for the children as well as the parents’ lessons.”

The July 2 event wrapped up the 13th year for the program. More than 800 people attended the program. Young golfers could hit balls or putt balls at targets for prizes. There were also a multitude of door prizes given away. Volunteers from

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