Enstrom expands store, offerings in Arvada Family candy business celebrates new location By Sara Van Cleve

svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com Enstrom Candies’ Arvada location has moved a few storefronts down and expanded its treat offerings, but the family business known for its almond toffee remains the same. “My grandfather Chet Enstrom started the business,” said Front Range Area Manager of Enstrom’s Rick Enstrom. “He came to Grand Junction in 1928 to open an ice cream shop.”

While running his ice cream shop, though, Chet continued to pursue his hobby of creating delectable confections, including almond toffee, and in 1960 he founded Enstrom Candies. For the past 28 years, Rick Enstrom and his wife, Linda, have operated Enstrom stores on the Front Range, including the Arvada location. The Arvada location has moved a few storefronts over to 6770 W. 52nd Ave., Suite C, to allow for the store’s redesign and expansion and to allow other businesses to fill the building’s space. “The family owns the building and we’ve leased it to a security engineering Candies continues on Page 23

Enstrom has remained a family business since it was founded 53 years ago.

Though Colorado counties will be able to regulate and tax marijuanarelated businesses beginning this fall, Jefferson County will not be among them. The Jefferson County commissioners voted 3-0 to ban those types of businesses newly allowed under voterapproved Amendment 64. Under the new law, beginning Oct. 1, cities and counties can start accepting permit applications for marijuana businesses, including cultivation facilities, testing facilities, product manufacturing facilities and retail stores. Commissioners Faye Griffin, Casey Tighe and Donald Rosier all voted to approve the county ban, which calls for all such businesses to not be allowed within unincorporated Jeffco until Feb. 1, 2015. “Waiting until 2015 would allow us to see how this is going in other municipalities,” Assistant County Attorney Eric Butler said. Butler said the state still had many portions of the Amendment 64 recreational marijuana law to work out, and a November election to determine how the product will be taxed. He added Pot continues on Page 23

Pact between developer, urban renewal district would lay groundwork Public improvement fee at Walmart would reimburse infrastructure costs By Sara Van Cleve

svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com The Arvada Urban Renewal Authority announced a proposal to reimburse redevelopment infrastructure costs to the developer at Arvada Plaza site. The $5.8 million is AURA’s portion of necessary infrastructure improvements, which must occur at Arvada Plaza at West 58th Avenue and Independence Street regardless of the tenant, said AURA Executive Director Maureen Phair. Under the proposed agreement, IRG, Industrial Realty Group of Downey, Calif., will pay all $9.1 million for the redevelopment upfront; AURA will then reimburse the developer for $5.8 million, and IRG will pay $3.3 million. “In order to redevelop the site, these improvements would have to happen, end of story,” Phair said. The money will come from a Public Im-

provement Fee instituted on the retailer — in this case Walmart — in lieu of the city’s portion of the sales tax. Sales tax in Arvada is 8.06 percent with 3.46 percent the city’s portion, Phair said. Pending the approval of an agreement by City Council, 3 percent of the sales tax will become a PIF and the 0.46 percent sales tax that goes to the police department will remain the same. Money from the PIF will be reimbursed to IRG, not Wal-Mart, until it reaches $5.8 million or 12 years have passed. Phair said she expects the $5.8 million to be paid in full in six to seven years. “This is new money,” Phair said. “It’s not something coming from the city’s general fund or AURA’s general fund. The tenant of the project, Walmart, is going to generate the sales tax and that is new sales tax that is not being generated today. Unless we made these public improvements, we would not have a tenant in there.” Improvements include remediation for asbestos and ground water contamination, site regrading and stabilization, demolition of the current facility, storm drainage work, water connection completion, relocating a sanitary sewer line, street widen-

ing on Ralston Road and Independence Street, street narrowing on 57th Avenue, new streetscape and consultation for the improvements. Several other projects in Arvada have had tax-sharing agreements, including $9 million for Costco in 2000, $15 million for Arvada Ridge in 2005 and $3 million for Target at Arvada Ridge in 2007. Other projects across the metro area to use a PIF for redevelopment include Belmar in Lakewood, which is $175 million; and Cabela’s in Thornton, which is $27 million. According to AURA, public participation, such as a PIF for larger projects, is usually 20-25 percent of the total project cost; the redevelopment of the Arvada Plaza is about $25 million, meaning the public contribution from AURA is about 23 percent. Some of the other projects in the area add the PIF onto the existing sales tax, including Belmar, which added an additional 2.5 percent to the existing tax. Consumers in Arvada will end up paying the same amount in sales tax for shopping at the proposed Walmart as they do at any other retailer in the city, Phair said. The redevelopment of the Arvada Plaza

is the first step to redeveloping the Arvada Triangle area, Phair said. AURA is hoping to redevelop the north side of Ralston Road west of the new Ralston Central Park as well with mixeduse development including residential and commercial development and perhaps a recreational facility. AURA already owns some of the property and can purchase more in 2016. Safeway, which is located on the north side, announced on June 21 that it will close on July 15. Because the Arvada Plaza, and the whole Arvada Triangle area, is an urban renewal district, tax revenue generated above what it made in 2002, the year before it became a designated district, goes to AURA. Tax revenue has declined each year since the Arvada Plaza became an urban renewal district. Walmart continues on Page 24

Eckendorf ockysaid the attack began when Lopez surm atprised her by grabbing her and throwostlying her onto the couple’s bed. 12:30 “He just started wailing on me,” honyEckendorf said, describing being formpunched on both sides of her jaw before Lopez began strangling her. n 12She said the strangling went on long enough for her to lose consciousness.

According to testimony, a friend at the apartment heard the altercation and intervened. When asked if she ever reported the strangulation to law enforcement, Eckendorf said she did not, for fear of damaging her relationship with Lopez. “As painful as it is to say after that, I still loved him and wasn’t going to leave him,” Eckendorf said. According to Eckendorf, Lopez choked her on more than one occasion. On cross-examination, Eckendorf was questioned closely about why, after saying she feared for her life with Lopez, she carried on a friendly relationship after their breakup in December 2010. In particular, the defense attorney asked why she also had sexual contact with Lopez after the breakup on one occasion. “I figured I was damaged goods and nobody was ever going to want me again,” Eckendorf answered. The defense also questioned points of Eckendorf’s courtroom testimony that differed from what she told detectives last year. In particular, on the stand Eckendorf said that she never actually saw

Lopez being physically pulled off her by a friend during the 2008 incident. Instead, she admitted to losing consciousness and waking up with the friend by her side.

Third Year: Painted Cats Raise Funds for Cat Care Society

Lopez on tape

Also during the June 19 court proceedings, the jury had a chance to hear Lopez say, in his own words, what happened in the early morning hours of June 24 leading up to the death of Best. The prosecution showed the court the tape of an interview conducted by Lakewood Police Department detectives two days after Best’s death. In the interview, Lopez eventually confesses that he believes he accidentally strangled Best while the two were in bed. “I’ve been thinking about killing myself the last few days over that,” he told detectives. In the video, Lopez repeatedly insists that he never choked Best in anger and that he had no indication anything was amiss until he woke up the next day and found her cold and not breathing. Lopez’ trial is scheduled to conclude this week.

By Burt Hubbard I-News

The measures passed by Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996 “to end welfare as we know it” were heralded as a ticket to economic self-sufficiency. The poor would be encouraged to enter the workforce and eventually leave all welfare assistance behind. But for most of the tens of thousands of working poor families in Colorado, the vision of self-sufficiency is illusive. One of the most significant components of the work support programs — child-care assistance — doesn’t reach about threefourths of the state’s working poor and generally fails the other fourth’s attempt to escape poverty, according to an I-News analysis of state data, census figures and Colorado-specific research reports, as well as interviews with benefit recipients, policy experts and government officials. The I-News inquiry found: Working families can fall prey to the “cliff effect,” in which even a modest rise in family income can lead to termination of a government benefit, including subsidized child care, worth thousands of dollars a year. The family can suffer a big net loss by earning more.

Colorado is the only state that allows counties to set income levels for eligibility for child-care assistance, or CCAP, the biggest work support program. The state’s system has created broad inequities in what families can earn before losing child care. Most experts say higher education is essential to rising out of poverty. Yet, 11 counties don’t give child-care help to parents attending college. A parent in Boulder County can get child-care subsidies to attend the University of Colorado, but a Larimer County parent gets no help to attend Colorado State University. Families facing the cliff effect report having employed strategies such as turning down raises, promotions or passing on better jobs to avoid losing an essential benefit. Proposed reforms center on phasing out payments gradually as family incomes rise toward self-sufficiency. Yet, when Colorado lawmakers twice tried to require counties to phase out child-care benefits, the proposals were watered down after lobbying by Colorado counties to make them voluntary. There are more than 63,000 working families in Colorado earning 130 percent of poverty-level income or less, about $25,000 per year, according to the I-News analysis. In 2012, according to state figures, CCAP served about 31,000 of the almost 137,000 children in those families — “a pittance,” in the words of one state senator. Cliff continues on Page 9

Arvada couple celebrate 72nd anniversary Residents since 1948 share their life story By Sara Van Cleve

svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com Arvada was a much different place when the Gimenos moved there. Streetcars still ran between Arvada and Golden, many roads were unpaved and their home on 50th Avenue and Garrison Street was not yet part of the city, said Irene Gimeno, now 91. That was in 1948. “One time I was driving and wondered if I could hold my breath to drive through Arvada, and I could,” said Emil Gimeno, now 92. “You couldn’t do that now.” The Gimenos moved to Arvada from Denver because of the good schools and safe neighborhoods to raise their children — nine in total. “We had wonderful neighbors and felt very welcomed,” Irene said. The neighborhood children spent many hours playing in the Gimenos’ large yard, which Emil said was the best in the neighborhood at the time. Irene and Emil’s families were migrant workers from Mexico. Emil’s genetic ancestry actually goes back to Spanish royalty, according to DNA tracing by National Geographic, his daughter Patricia Wooten said. Emil was born in El Paso, Texas; Irene was born in Mexico and became a naturalized citizen in 1943. Irene and Emil met when they were just 19 and 20 respectively. “I went dancing with a friend at the casino dance hall and when I came out all the boys who didn’t want to dance were standing outside to meet girls, and he snatched me up,” Irene said. The couple married six months later in 1941 and celebrated their

Irene and Emil Gimeno, 91 and 92 respectively, were married in 1941 and moved to a home near 50th Avenue and Garrison Street in 1948, before that area was part of Arvada. The Gimenos have lived in Arvada for 65 years and raised their nine children in the city. Photo by Sara Van Cleve 72nd anniversary on June 7. “She wouldn’t let me get away,” Emil said with a laugh. “We have had a very good marriage.” Not long after they married, Emil joined the Navy to serve in World War II. He served on the USS Yorktown in the South Pacific for about a year and a half. “We were the only aircraft carrier never hit,” Emil said. While Emil served overseas, Irene fought the battle on the homefront and worked at Rocky Mountain Arsenal to help build cluster bombs while her two sisters helped her raise her children. Following the war, Emil started his own construction business and was the contractor for several large projects, including the restoration of Bent’s Old Fort in 1975. “I started a construction company so my children could go to college,” Emil said. “Going into business for

myself was the best decision I ever made.” Emil went to night school himself to advance his knowledge and his business to support his family. “The only way to advance myself was through education,” he said. Emil even built the house at Nelson Street and 77th Drive where he and Irene have lived for more than 30 years and wrote a book about the restoration of Bent’s Old Fort — “The Adobe Castle of the Santa Fe Trail: The History and Reconstruction of Bent’s Old Fort.” Irene also went back to school and received an associate’s degree in fine arts from Red Rocks Community College. Throughout their lives, both Irene and Emil have traveled around the world and always came home to Arvada. “We’ve had a very good life,” Emil said.

11:46 p.m. Saturday, May 25, 7-Eleven, 7355 Ralston Road. A woman reportedly tried to steal items from a 7-Eleven store, but the items fell out of her jacket in front of the manager before she left the store. The manager recovered from the woman sharp cheddar cheese, valued at 99 cents; a club stacker sandwich, $3.99; a cheddar cheese stick, $1.39; and an ice cream sandwich, $2.99. The woman denied to police that she tried to leave the store without paying for the items, but was unable to explain why they fell out of her jacket. Arvada Police served the woman a municipal summons for theft and a trespass notice, per the manager’s request.

Woman’s purse stolen from business during dance class

7:14 a.m. Thursday, May 30, business on Grandview Avenue A woman was taking a salsa dance class at a business on Grandview Avenue when her purse was stolen from her dance shoe bag. The purse was taken between 11 p.m. May 26 and 1 a.m. May 27; her bag was left in an unsecured area of the business. Her purse was gold colored and valued at $5. Inside her purse was her USAA Master Card credit card and debit card and her Chase Visa Credit Card, all three of which she canceled. In her purse was also her iPhone, valued at $900 to replace, and $20 worth of cosmetics. The woman was not able to provide any suspect information regarding the theft.

Woman loses $2,500 through email scam

11:11 a.m. Monday, June 3, police report made via phone A woman made a report to police about a scam she fell victim to that caused her to lose $2,500. On June 3, the woman received a text message from Chase Bank where a representative told her a stop payment order had been placed on a check she deposited into her account. The check drawn on May 24 for $2,500. The woman told police she received the check when she answered an email

advertising $300 in weekly payments to people willing to wrap their vehicles with an advertisement for Monster Energy Drink. She received the check on May 28 after she answered the email from her husband’s email address. She deposited the check into her account and was told to forward the remaining amount, minus the $300 payment and $155 Moneygram fee. She lost $2,500 in the transaction. When the woman called the number on the email, a man named Christian promised to send a new check. Police told the woman to assume any checks received from the man in the future is fraudulent. Police also advised that the woman report the fraud to the federal law enforcement website concerning internet fraud and to contact the Jefferson County District Attorney’s office’s bad check program for possible restitution or small claims court filing information.

Unknown person reportedly shot bullet through U-Haul store’s window

The last employee left the store at about 5 p.m. the previous evening and there were no known issues with customers or former employees. The windows have an alarm for a glass break, but it did not appear to working. 0Police dispatch said there were no reports of fireworks or shots fired in the area. The bullet fragments and photographs of the scene were entered into evidence. There is no suspect information at this time.

~ R.B., Arvada

AnsweR: R.B. In one word - Yes! One of the latest trends in hearing aids is Connectivity. Connectivity is the capability of your hearing aids to receive a signal wirelessly directly from other items – such as the TV, phone or an auxiliary microphone. You might be wondering - Why would someone need such devices? Well – some listening situations can be more difficult for some than it is for others – even with the use of hearing aids. This is most likely due to the way the brain is processing. The TV can be difficult even with hearing devices because sound is traveling through the room and it reverberates off of other objects. This breaks down the integrity of the signal. The telephone can be problematic because often people with hearing devices will want to remove their devices or hold the phone away from ear to prevent the hearing device from whistling. This would create a poor sound quality and difficulty understanding the person on the other end of the call. Some situations can be difficult to communicate even one on one. For example, this can occur in the car when the speaker and listener cannot face each, which eliminates the

possibility of lip and facial expression reading.

Dr. Kirstie J.

Connectivity is affordable, simple and easy to use. It allows the person wearing the hearing devices to be able to listen and enjoy communication in all of the same environments as everyone else. Nearly all hearing aid manufacturers offer these types of solutions. So – if you are having trouble hearing in particular situations – even with hearing aids – come in and talk with me. I am sure we can find a simple and affordable solution to help. If you feel like your devices aren’t performing like they should and you would like a probe microphone test run, please contact Doctor’s Hearing Care at 303.377.4777. Mention this article and we will run the test on your current hearing devices at no charge. Dr. Kirstie J. Taylor is a Doctor of Audiology and has two practices – in Wheat Ridge and in Denver.

Don’t be short with traffic reports Dear Morning Show Radio Hosts: I’m writing to you about an issue of grave import to our community: your traffic reports. Perhaps you haven’t realized that what is said — or, more specifically, what is not said — can make or break commuters’ whole days, even before we leave our driveways. First, your traffic reports are too short. It takes more than the 15 seconds allotted for this crucial information to catalog construction slow-downs and inevitable multiple accidents on the Interstates, much less report on the subsequent fender-benders caused by interminable lines at stoplights for those who opt for surface streets to avoid these messes. Why not give this topic the time it deserves? Say, 15 minutes? Perhaps these truncated time frames are why your traffic reporters talk so fast … and, consequently, why it’s so hard to follow where the commute-busting problems actually are. For example, there are so many “70s” in our landscape. There’s Interstate 70 of course, but also 76, 270 and C-470, as these motorways are popularly known. And because I usually need to travel an east-west then north-south route, I wait breathlessly for any mention of a road with “70” in the name.

This information usually rushes past me, though, before I can decipher which of these routes is the least time-sucking. I also ask you to please consider the frequency of your traffic reports. Every 15 minutes is simply not often enough, much less on the half hour. Before I commit to turning right for I-25 or left for C-470, I’m practically begging for the latest info so that when I get to I-70, I’m in the correct turn lane … or, at least, I have time to blast across three lanes of traffic in front of everyone else still making their own decisions. Or, in the more likely circumstance that I’ve already embarked on the exact wrong route yet again, I listen breathlessly for any updates, often flipping from station to station to station for advice. If I’m already 20-some mind-numbing minutes into a commute and waiting — in the car and on the road — I could literally weep with

gratitude for guidance from those in the know about whether to bail at Santa Fe or try to make it all the way to Quebec. (Just a note: it’s not helpful to be warned to expect the “usual problems” because I don’t know where these usual problems usually are.) Sure, sometimes it’s fun to play along with quizzes and contests to while away the time. And to check my phone for the time (I’m not texting, truly) because I’ve long since stopped wearing a watch. Very infrequently, if I’ve remembered to toss it in my bag, I might even lean over to the rear-view mirror and pucker up for some lip gloss. But it’s impossible to handle both my essential travel mug of coffee and my stick shift as I herky-jerk through stop and go traffic. In short, dear Morning Show Hosts, please don’t be short with your traffic reports. I believe I’m not alone in my request; in fact, I can see out the window sitting here that I am far from alone. Andrea W. Doray is a writer who would prefer to bike to work, even though it’s a little harder to handle her coffee mug. Contact her at a.doray@ andreadoray.com.

Breakups: It’s about accountability Probably one of the most recognized, overused, and abused break-up lines of all time is, “It’s not you, it’s me.” For all of the Seinfeld fans out there, you will recall that in one episode Jason Alexander’s character, George Costanza, actually claimed that he invented this breakup maneuver when one of his love interests used the very same line on him when trying to end the relationship. And I know that many people still use this line or tactic to end relationships or let others down easy, or maybe both. I like the line for a different reason. Forgetting the overused and abused relationship and break-up analogy for a moment, how often have we used the very same line when deflecting blame for something we have done or have not done? Do we take accountability and own it, “It’s not you, it’s me?” Or do we reverse it and place the problem squarely on someone else, “It’s not me, it’s you?” I much prefer the original version, “It’s not you, it’s me.” Personal accountabil-

ity is the first rung on the ladder of success. And it is not just when something has gone horribly wrong or where there is an opportunity to place or accept blame, it is also true when given an opportunity. Strong leaders use this tactic all the time. And they use it in a couple of ways, one to lead by example and the other to give a team member a chance to step up and demonstrate a competency or capability. In the example of leading by example or leading from the front, a good manager or leader may recognize that there is an opportunity for a teaching moment and they jump in and say, “Wait a minute, it’s not your turn yet, let me demonstrate this for you one more time, OK?” And conversely, the employee may feel that they are ready to demonstrate their readiness and

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Safeway a casualty of Walmart Our planning commission and council should be proud. We have sustained the first casualty of the Walmart in Armada Plaza, in that Safeway at 58th and Independence is gone. No matter that it was convenient for the residents of the Meridian and surrounding areas to walk to the store, we are going to have a Walmart. Most of us can’t hoof it to 64 and Ward, but who cares? I for one do, as this

is just the first in a series of our good neighbors being forced out. Do you suppose employees can find an equal job to the one they lost at Safeway at Walmart? I don’t. In our neighborhood, everone is for keeping the individual businesses, but we are told, we are meeting our goal by getting a large retailer. This is supposed to be a representative government. The council is supposed to be working for the citizens. John McGuire Arvada

capabilities and use the very same line, “I’ve got this boss, it’s not you, it’s my turn.” And so the strong leader allows his team member to try. This is another teaching moment, just moving from the “doing” of everything for everyone, to “giving” an opportunity to learn. But even if we do reverse it, “It’s not me, it’s you,” this too can be used when a coach or leader calls upon an employee or team member to step up because they know that they are ready to give something a shot. “It’s not me this time, it’s you,

it’s a big project but I am confident you can handle it.” Both situations allow for growth, ownership, success, and building a solid foundation to build upon. It’s only in times of blame or difficulties when we reverse the line and fall back on the comfortable crutch of “It’s not me, it’s you,” that we stifle growth in ourselves and others as we deflect ownership and accountability.

opinions / yours and ours

On July Fourth, have a blast, without fireworks Once again, it looks like many of Colorado’s communities are headed toward a Fourth of July without fireworks. Last year, arguably Colorado’s worst ever for wildfires, saw a statewide burning ban that prohibited fireworks. Already this year, fires have scorched tens of thousands of acres throughout the state. No statewide ban has been put in place as of yet, but make no mistake, Colorado is in emergency mode. In many counties, officials have taken common-sense, precautionary measures and instituted burning rules that, among other things, outlaw personal use and professional displays of fireworks. Unless the skies open up immediately

our view and consistently, these bans are likely to remain in place at least through July Fourth. For many, that means, like last year, celebrating the holiday without one of our nation’s most treasured traditions. Yes, fireworks are fun. They have come to be seen as a sparkling, brilliant reminder of our independence. But much of Colorado is too dry, the conditions too ripe for danger, to risk it. We see this as a necessary inconve-

question of the week

Can the Rockies compete for the postseason with Tulo out? Most folks in downtown Golden were optimistic about the Rockies’ chances, in spite of the team’s slugging shortstop being out 4 to 6 weeks with a rib injury.

The only question is whether their pitching staff holds up. If so, they certainly have the horsepower. Bill Flynn

Yeah, I think so. Of course they’ll miss him, but they’re a pretty good hitting team top to bottom. Charlie Meyers

nience. Moreover, we encourage residents to be diligent in following whatever restrictions their county or municipality has imposed. A single, carelessly discarded cigarette has been known to start a major wildfire. Certainly, flaming objects designed to explode in the air have the potential to create at least as much havoc. Consider some statistics from the National Fire Protection Association: In 2011, fireworks caused an estimated 17,8000 reported fires, including 1,200 total structure fires, 400 vehicle fires and 16,300 outside and other fires. These fires resulted in an estimated eight reported civilian deaths, 40 civilian injuries and $32 million in direct property damage. In a normal year, more fires are

reported on July 4 than on any other day, and fireworks are the major culprit, according to the association. Imagine the potential for disaster if errant fireworks landed in a wooded area of Colorado. It’s not worth the risk for a few minutes of viewing pleasure. And if doing the right thing for Coloradans’ safety isn’t enough, consider the potential damage to a scofflaw’s wallet. In unincorporated Douglas County, for example, setting off fireworks comes with up to a $1,000 fine. We could make a case that fines should be even stiffer. Independence Day is rooted in major sacrifice. Eating hot dogs and enjoying the company of family and friends without fireworks is a rather small one.

The subtext of texting not a good read A little while ago, the family was on our way out — I don’t even remember where we were going — but we were waiting for one of my daughter’s friends to arrive, because she was riding with us. And minutes were passing, and we’re getting gradually more impatient, when finally my wife turns to my daughter and asks “where’s your friend?” To which we get in return “I don’t know, she’s not texting me back. “Well, have you called her?” “No.” And you could practically hear the follow-up, “As if ...” Like as in, “As if I would ever actually talk to one of my friends with this device which was originally designed exclusively to allow me to talk to everybody, at any time.” I’ve written before about how weird it is that the next generation is so constantly interconnected by their cell phones, but at the same time so disconnected in every other regard. But it turns out that that phenomenon of youth also has a troubling manifestation in adult life. My friend Jay is in sales, and has been for 20-some years. Business has been dicey for the last several years, but he’s keeping his head above water. One thing that we’ve talked about a lot in respect to his business is how impersonal it’s become. And he sees that as a very bad thing, from both a business and a cultural angle. People who he’s worked with for 20 years don’t have the time to say “hey” and catch up with how the family is doing; a salesman from 15 years ago who would look you in the eye and give you a handshake promise now sends you a text message with a vague statement of intent. The personal part of business has become completely subsumed by the need to keep up with the speed of technology, and things that used to work because of relationships don’t work anymore. Let me come at it this way: 50 years ago, investors had brokers who they knew by first name; brokers had relationships with companies; and companies valued that

chain of connections because it was the lifeblood of their company. Now, you or I can log in to e-Trade from our iPad while sitting on the couch in our pajamas, catch up on the stock market in a few minutes, and send instructions to the HAL 9000 on the other end of the ether, and go about our merry day. Nowhere in that is there any accountability to the investor from the company, who barely knows you exist, if at all. You wonder how a thing like Enron could happen? Because Ken Lay never had to look one of the “little people” in the eye and tell them he was in the process of bilking them out of their life savings. Personal relationships require accountability, and when business is managed by text message, there are no personal relationships. I like technology, and I think there are a lot of really wonderful aspects to it. But it seems like what it has actually done is replace conversations when it was intended to augment them. It’s made the messy part of relationships an arms-length away, where it’s safe and unaccountable. And that’s not good for anybody, whether it’s working out six-figure deals or just trying to get to dinner on time.

Cliff Continued from Page 4

“The reason the cliff effect matters, and the reason it matters to all of us in society, is that we want to provide the opportunity for these families to get into the workforce, to stay working, to reach self-sufficiency, to get ahead,” said Rich Jones, director of research at Bell Policy Center in Denver, a self-described progressive think tank. “That’s the whole design. By keeping the cliff effect, by keeping the barriers in place, we’re actually providing a disincentive to continue working.” For many poor working families who receive work supports, the cliff effect isn’t an issue. They don’t earn enough to trip the loss of benefits. The real threat of the cliff effect is to those close to self-sufficiency. “A fraction of these folks can actually make it work,” said Susan Roll, a California professor who did her doctoral thesis at the University of Denver on the cliff effect. “It is very difficult to be on these programs and it is certainly next to impossible to escape the programs.” The work support benefits can include child-care assistance, food stamps, housing assistance, assistance with energy bills and Medicaid, among others. The steepest cliff in the state is posed by the child-care assistance program, experts say. Even a raise of $1 hour per hour, which would translate into roughly $2,000 a year for a full-time employee, could trigger the termination of the benefit worth $6,000 or $8,000 per year or more to the family, and might even impact the parent’s ability to work. “I would say the cliff effect is the No. 1 reason preventing women and their families from achieving self-sufficiency,” said Lorena Garcia, executive director of Denver-based COLOR, which works with young women trying to escape poverty. Academic researchers and county social workers all said they have seen families forgo raises or promotions so they didn’t lose child-care benefits. “It’s frustrating to hear their stories,” said Tamara Schmidt, supervisor of the child-care assistance program in Larimer County. “To have them calling in tears because they’re over income by 10 cents (an hour). I mean, there’s really not a whole lot of wiggle room.” Self-sufficiency is pegged by most studies at about 225 percent of the federal poverty guideline, or about $44,000 annually for a family of three. That number comes particularly into play in Colorado’s county system for setting income limits for child-care assistance. The limit for a family of three ranges from $25,000, or 130 percent of poverty, to $44,000, 225 percent of poverty. And these vast disparities exist next door to each other. For example, in southeastern Colorado, Prowers County cuts off child care at $25,000 for a three-person family, while adjacent Bent and Kiowa counties allow up to $44,000. A 2008 state audit found that more than 1,000 families denied child-care assistance because their incomes were too high would have qualified in a neighboring county. Higher education is another touchstone in the debate over Colorado’s county system. “Post-secondary education, especially for single-parent households, is critical as far as financial security, social mobility, all of those things,” said state Sen. John Kefalas, D-Fort Collins. That Larimer County doesn’t allow higher education as an eligible activity ultimately comes down to a matter of resources, officials said. “We had to make the choice to serve the poorest of the poor,” said Laura Sartor of Larimer County Human Services. “It was very difficult. It was a very hard choice to

Jennine Jeffries is a woman with an engaging smile, a firm handshake and an articulate yet unvarnished way of telling her own story: broken and abusive childhood home, a frequent runaway and juvenile delinquent, alcohol and drug addictions as she became a bartender, a stint in jail. But her story doesn’t stop there. With determination and hard work, with help from those who believe in her, with an unfading desire to be something more for her own four children, she has pulled her life back on course. She’s carrying a shiny 3.97 grade point average at Metropolitan State University of Denver, with graduation set for next spring. Her 19-year-old son has made that possible in part by caring at home for her 4-year-old twins. She wants him to have a chance at education next. Jeffries has worked for Metro’s Institute for Women’s Studies and Services, and is now an intern at Project Wise, a Denverbased agency that offers counseling and other services to women. She knows who she is and what she wants to be. “Given the pain I have put my family through, given the pain I have put myself through, given the struggles I have been through, I want a career where I can help those who are like me, women in transition, women who feel that maybe they’re not worthy, or that they have no hope,” said Jeffries, 39. “I want to make a difference in people’s lives.” As she prepares for that day to arrive, making the long bus ride each day into Denver from her Section 8 apartment in Englewood, working low-wage jobs, volunteering, keeping up with her family life and

make. We did a lot of research and a lot of statistics in determining who we could and couldn’t serve. And unfortunately the student population was one of the populations that were an option, so we had to eliminate them and not be able to cover child care anymore.” Many counties change eligibility levels as budgets and caseloads rise and fall. El Paso County Commissioner Sallie Clark, a Republican, said it’s critical that these decisions be made at the close-to-the-ground county level. El Paso recently raised its level to 150 percent of poverty, but allows recipients, once approved, to stay with the program up to 165 percent. Colorado Counties Inc., the lobbying organization for the state’s 64 counties, has twice lobbied against legislation requiring the counties to phase out child-care assistance to counter the cliff effect. Each time, the counties lobbied successfully to make the proposals voluntary. The 2012 bill called for a 10-county pilot project to test phasing out the benefit. So, far no county has volunteered. Clark said requiring counties to phase out the benefit would be too costly. But Kefalas, the Fort Collins Democrat, said there would be benefits in embracing reform. “In my opinion, if we make these investments up front, we’re going to save an awful lot of money for the taxpayer in terms of public assistance programs, in terms of dealing with the criminal justice system,and the research bears that out,” he said.

Jennine Jeffries, 39, stands at the Tivoli Student Union on the Auraria Campus in Denver recently. Jeffries, a mother of four, has done much to turn her life around after it went off course, and is carrying a near-perfect grade point average at Metropolitan State University of Denver. However, she is concerned about what will happen when her work support benefits ends. She wants to be off assistance, yet will need to earn $40,000 a year to be self-sufficient. Photo by Photos by The I-News Network at Rocky Mountain PBS her studies, she worries about how she will do it. Can she possibly make, as a new college graduate, the $40,000 or more it will take for her family to minimally survive the loss of the work support benefits she receives — housing assistance, food stamps and Medicaid? “I’m terrified that once I graduate I won’t be self-sufficient,” she said, but there’s no turning back now. “What do I next? I want to be the hell off assistance.” For more information about the cliff effect, go to inewsnetwork.org.

ARVADA NEWS IN A HURRY Arvada firefighters return after wildfire deployment

Arvada Fire crews deployed to wildfires across the state earlier in the month have returned home. Brush truck eight and a crew of three firefighters deployed to the Royal Gorge Fire on June 12 returned home on June 16. On June 11, a crew of four firefighters and a fire engine were deployed to assist with the Black Forest Fire near Colorado Springs. The crew returned home on June 20. Another crew was deployed overnight on June 19 to the Lime Gulch Fire and returned on June 20.

Arvada police set up fireworks complaint line through July 6

The Arvada Police Department is again offering a fireworks complaint line that residents and business owners can call to report the illegal use of fireworks. The phone number, 720898-6919, will be in service and monitored Monday, July 1, through Saturday, July 6. Fireworks are illegal within city limits and can present fire hazards, especially because of Colorado’s extreme dryness in the last few years. The police department has enacted a zero-tolerance policy for

the use of fireworks, and residents caught with fireworks will receive a ticket. Officers will take appropriate enforcement action for violations of both the Arvada City Code and the Colorado Revised Statutes. The fireworks hotline has been used during the last several years in an effort to keep 911 from being inundated with fireworks complaints, interfering with the reception of emergency calls. While 911 is still appropriate for emergency calls related to firework injuries and fires, all other calls regarding fireworks should be directed to the hotline.

‘Cliff effect’ looms for achiever with fresh degree Magna cum laude grad in ‘really scary’ situation By Jim Trotter I-News

Rachel Contizano, a Denver native, moved to New York and finished community college there with highest distinction. She was employed by an apparel manufacturer, living independently in New York City, just as she wanted. Then she went on maternity leave before Christmas in 2009 and was soon notified that her job had been eliminated. She applied for unemployment benefits and received them for the full 99 weeks allowed, her job search fruitless month after month. “I got up the courage that I needed to move back home,” she said of those dark days. “It was just getting too difficult to survive.” Surviving still wasn’t a picnic back in Colorado, although her family helped. As she began to apply for work support benefits for herself and her son, Kingston, to try to get back on her feet, she encountered what she described as a very difficult process with Denver Human Services. “I did everything I was supposed to do. I followed all the rules,” she said. “If I did what I was responsible for, then they were responsible to help me. And that wasn’t the case.” She determined that she needed to learn more about advocating for herself. Her eventual mastery of work support benefit rules led to her appoint-

Lakewood man teaches obedience through reinforcement, fun By Sara Van Cleve

svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com Randall Elbrecht of Lakewood began working with dogs when he was just a child. “I’d like to say I’ve been training all my life,” Elbrecht said. “As a little kid I used to sneak into people’s yards and play with their dogs. I’d jump into backyards with mastiffs, German shepherds, rottweilers and Dobermans that initially wanted to attack me as I’m walking down their fence, but eventually they learned I wasn’t a threat and I’d come in and play with them.” Elbrecht began training dogs professionally about five years ago after he graduated from the National K-9 School for Dog Trainers in Columbus, Ohio. He then founded Double Diamond Dog Training after moving to Colorado. “I’ve had various jobs before dog training, but I was never quite as happy then when I was with my dogs,” he said. “It’s been the best decisions I’ve ever made.” Now Elbrecht works with dogs and their owners to correct behavioral issues, teach obedience and much more. One of the most common issues is the dog not knowing how to properly walk on a leash and pulling while on a leash, he said. “I mostly train the owners to train their own dogs,” he said. “It’s much better when the owners build the bond and work toward the goal of obedience themselves, because then they earn the reward of their dogs learning.” Most dogs show progress within five or six sessions, Elbrecht said, but it’s the owner’s responsibility to maintain the work and work with their dog each day. “The real progress will happen over the course of the week,” he said. “I show the owners what to do in one session and they follow up throughout the week doing the exact thing that we worked on.”

Randall Elbrecht, certified dog trainer and founder of Double Diamond Dog Training, poses with his “Outward Bound with the Hounds” group from left, Hunter, Buddy Rich, Blossom, Diogenes and Timmy outside of Olde Town Arvada. Photo by Sara Van Cleve Once the dog masters one skill, such as properly walking on a leash without pulling, Elbrecht can show the owner how to train the dog to sit on command, for example. “It is entirely on the owner to maintain the work,” he said. “A dog is an animal — it isn’t a computer or a machine. You can’t just take out the broken parts and replace them with the things you want. It’s consistency that really makes them obedient. That’s the key factor.” Elbrecht uses a combination of positive and negative reinforcement coupled with motivation; the balance is different for each dog depending on the animal’s personality, he said. Positive reinforcement is praising the dog when it does a correct behavior and saying “No” when it performs an incorrect behavior. Motivation is in the form of making it fun for the dog, like a game of Simon Says, Elbrecht said.

“Once it becomes fun for them, they’re interested in it and they’re happy do to the obedience,” he said. “Every dog is different and every dog’s approach is going to be different.” Double Diamond Dog Training also

offers a program called “Outward Bound with the Hounds” to clients whose dogs have reached an advanced level of obedience and are capable of walking for a long period and able to deal with multiple distractions. As part of the program, Elbrecht takes a group of dogs on hikes and walks to areas such as Olde Town Arvada, Red Rocks, Capitol Hill, Washington Park and the mountains. One of the dogs in the program, Blossom, was rescued from a breeder where she spent her whole life in a barn breeding. Before Elbrecht began working with her about a year ago, she was so fearful that she was scared to walk out the front door, he said. “Now she’s one of the most excited dogs that I have in the group,” he said. “When she sees me she starts grinning and she’s excited to go out. She’s shaking to get in the car and say hello to everyone in the car. Everyone loves it, but she really, really shows how much she likes it.” In-home obedience training sessions are about an hour per week and begin at $50 per session depending on the owner’s location. Elbrecht works with owners throughout the metro area.

Construction begins on police substations Council unanimously OKs plans for two facilities By Sara Van Cleve

svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com Construction has begun on two new police substations in Arvada. City Council unanimously approved two agenda items on June 17 during its regular business meeting to allow construction to begin on the two new police substations, located at 8110 Vance Drive and 6644 Kendrick St. The station designs were brought to council and unanimously approved with all council members present. The two new substations are part of the department’s new decentralized policing method. The decentralized policing methods break up the city into three sectors using “natural neighborhoods.” The first sector is from West 88th Avenue south to West 64th Avenue and from the Union Pacific tracks east to Sheridan Boulevard. The second sector is from West 64th Avenue south to Interstate 70 and from Kipling Parkway east to Tennyson Street. The third sector is the remainder of Arvada, ranging from south of Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge south to the city limits just north of I-70. The sector ranges from the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and Kipling Parkway west to the edge of Arvada city limits. The third sector is the largest in terms of land, but is smallest in terms of population. “Breaking the city up into these natural relatively geographic areas makes sense for how we can police,” said Arvada Police Chief Don Wick. “It allows us to understand

the problems better because we can look at each policing sector at the micro level, when before we’ve had to look at the city at the macro level and try to figure out patterns and determine how best to deploy resources.” The stations will have the same design and will be 9,300-square-foot one-story facilities. The buildings will feature a community room, which will be open to the public to use, as well as the amenities and space for about 55 officers to be stationed at each location. Amenities for officers include briefing space, office space, gear lockers, evidence collection space, a workout area, two interview rooms and more. The stations will not have booking or detention facilities; booking, detention and evidence processing will remain at the main station, 8101 Ralston Road. “It allows us to be more a flexible, responsive and innovative police department and get to the heart of solving problems,” Wick said. The buildings will also be built with solar capability and will use recycled materials as much as possible. The stations were designed by Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture, and council approved Adolfson and Peterson as the builder. During the June 17 meeting, council unanimously approved an agreement with A&P to construct the buildings in an amount not to exceed $6,766,795. Council also approved an amendment to the 2013 operating and capital budget for unanticipated costs for building the stations in an amount not to exceed $750,000. The money for the stations was already budgeted in the 2013 capital budget approved last year. Groundbreaking on both sites was June 24; the stations are expected to be completed and operating by February 2014.

REAL ESTATE AGENT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK What is your specialty and what does that mean for the but don’t get the opportunity very often. Serena Billmayer people you work with? Seniors Real Estate Specialist Certified Real Estate IRA Specialist

I specialize in two areas: working with Real Estate IRAs, and working with seniors. I have experience and knowledge of the specific procedures to follow when utilizing an IRA for real estate purchases. I have a Seniors Real Estate Specialist designation, as well as personal experience working with seniors from moving my parents from their home in Kansas to a retirement community here in Denver. I believe it is important to not underestimate the sentimental value of a home nor the equity in it.

Your Castle Real Estate, Inc. Phone: 303-956-7940 Office: 303-962-4272 ext. 786 Serena @YourCastle.org Where were you born? A small town in Western Kansas: Collyer, KS, population about 150. How long have you lived in the area? 24 years (I moved to Colorado in 1988) What do you like most about it? The weather, the mountains, the people! (Not necessarily in that order!)

What is the most challenging part of what you do? Educating my clients is both challenging and rewarding. For instance, most people don’t know that you can purchase real estate with your IRA, and there are distinct advantages to diversifying your portfolio. Additionally, many people still do not realize it’s a seller’s mar market. However, the lending side is tough and getting tougher, so you have to have patience when it comes to get getting a transaction closed.

How long have you worked in Real Estate? 10 years

What do you most enjoy doing when you are not working? I’m actually a bit of a workaholic, but I do take time out to play softball, go to my husband’s hock hockey games, and take my dogs for walks. I also love to read, dance, and travel,

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? Do not hesitate; we are short of inventory in the Metro area, and if your home is priced right and staged well, it will sell quickly. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Get preapproved; not just prequalified, but preapproved so you can put in a stronger offer. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? When showing properties, I always ring the doorbell, and if no one responds, I unlock the door and walk in. I always shout out first to make sure no one is home. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always work. My clients and I have found people in bed, a man passed out on a couch, and one time a man who had just gotten out of the shower. You never know what you may find!

‘What we’re trying to do is help minimize the impact of the disease, trying to make them feel better for a longer period of time until we find that next magic bullet.’

By Jane reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

Douglas County School Board Vice President Dan Gerken resigned the week of Jan. 7, and already has stepped down from his seat. He cited growing family and work obligations. Board President John Carson said the group will begin the process of finding his replacement during the Jan. 15 board meeting. Gerken was elected to the board in 2009, and his term was set to expire in November. He did not return calls for comment, Gerken but Carson said there is no mystery surrounding his resignation from the education reform-focused board. “We depend on people being willing to take a lot of time out of their lives and work and families to do this,” he said, noting board members invest at least 20 hours a month to the unpaid post. “Dan has served selflessly in that capacity for over three years now. I greatly appreciate what he’s done for our school district.” Carson said Gerken first approached him about resigning shortly after the new year. “I tried to talk him out of (resigning), but he made his decision,” he said. Though the board has often been criticized for its fast-paced reform efforts, Carson said he doesn’t believe that was a factor in Gerken’s resignation. “If you run for office, you have to be prepared for that,” he said. “Speaking for myself, the reason I got involved in public education was to make some changes in public education that I think have been needed for a long time. I know Dan felt that way as well.” In seven years on the board, Carson said this is the fourth vacancy filled by appointment. “It’s not an infrequent occurrence,” he said. The board has 60 days to fill the empty seat. Any candidate must live in Gerken’s district — District D — which extends from Castle Pines to the southeast corner of the county. Potential school board candidates must be at least 18 years of age, a 12-month resident and registered voter of the district, and have no direct or indirect interest in district contracts. All current school board members are registered Republicans, but the office is officially nonpartisan. “We’re just looking for people that are interested in improving public education, continuing to make our school district the best, and keep making it stronger,” Carson said. Gerken, a father of two, lives in Castle Pines with his wife, Gina. He is chairman and co-founder of Gerken Taxman Inter-

The Colorado Honor Band will open for the Endless Summer with The Denver Brass and Celtic Colorado on August 24 at 7:30 p.m. at the Arvada Outdoor Amphitheatre. Courtesy of Arvada Center

Spend summer at the center Performers add spice to summer evenings By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com

ummer at the Center means that the Arvada Center is in the swing of the season, bringing with it some of the best artistic performers in the state and country. Part of the Summer at the Center is the fifth annual CenterFest, which runs through Aug. 29 and the fourth annual Summer Stage Concert Series, both of which bring something new for the music lover. Shows in both series are at the Arvada Center’s outdoor amphitheater, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. “CenterFest is a great collaboration between Scientific & Cultural Facilities District organizations that really allows us to show so much diverse work,” said René M. Atchison, Summer at the Center coordinator. “We provide the venue for these cultural groups to perform, and it helps them to reach a broader audience.” The performers in this year’s CenterFest are extremely diverse, and offer up a wide range of styles for patrons to select from. The Colorado Symphony will be performing, as will the Colorado Ballet, Hazel Miller, Ballet Nouveau and the Colorado Wind Ensemble. “To have an opportunity to see some of these performers outside in our amphitheater makes for a whole different experience,” said Melanie Mayner, publicist for the center. “We wanted to make sure to give patrons a different season, and a bit of a departure from what we’ve done before.” Some of the performers, like Colorado Symphony and Colorado Ballet, are repeat performers that have become audience favorites, while events like JazzFest and DanceFest are new. These festivals provide a chance for performers who wouldn’t be able to do a show on their own to work together. Mayner said that many of these groups wouldn’t normally play in Jefferson County but grants are offered for these opportunities.

“These shows are a also a chance WHAT: Summer at the Center for small WHERE: Arvada Center, 6901 groups to get Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada some exposure with a WHEN: CenterFest through larger crowd,” Aug. 29, Summer Stage ConAtchison said. cert Series through Sept. 14 “We know COST: $10 to $60 jazz is someINFORMATION: 720-898thing that 7200 or www.arvadacenter.org the city really loves, and so we’re able to get more people interested when we have artists performing together. Especially with someone as popular as Hazel Miller, we knows it’s going to be a big, really, really fun night.” While not specifically programmed for children, Atchison said that all the performances are family friendly, and children are encouraged to attend.

IF you go

The Summer Stage Concert Series is hosted by Nobody in Particular Presents, with sponsorship from radio station 97.3 KBCO. The season kicked off with a classic performance — an evening with Joan Baez on June 2 — and will feature some legends in different genres — John Hiatt (rock and roll), Robert Cray (blues) and Asleep at the Wheel (country). National groups who have become local favorites like Pink Martini, Toad the Wet Sprocket and Los Lonely Boys will also be performing. “Our amphitheater is fantastic, we’re very accessible and a short drive,” Mayner said. “These performances are just amazing in this venue.”

Cherry Hills Country Club General Manager Kevin Hood, who saved a man’s life earlier this year, recently received the Metropolitan Golf Writers Association’s Mary Bea Porter Award. The honor was bestowed at the MGWA’s 62nd national awards dinner June 18 in Tarrytown, N.Y. Hood was honored for saving the life of Cherry Hills member John Moore. Responding to a “code blue” call on Jan. 29, Hood administered CPR to the 87-year-old Moore, who had fallen and hit his head, causing his tongue to block his airway. Hood performed chest compressions and other life-saving measures. After a 10-day hospital stay, Moore recovered and returned to Cherry Hills to enjoy his club membership. Colorado Avid Golfer magazine first reported the news. The award is named for Mary Bea Porter, a former LPGA Tour pro who left the course in the middle of a qualifying round of the 1988 Samaritan Turquoise Classic in Phoenix to save a drowning 3-year-old boy at a home adjacent to a fairway. Hood, 52, is in his eighth year at Cherry Hills. He was a starting linebacker at the University of Colorado and former pro football player with the Denver Gold of the USFL.

Cabela’s carves niche in area

Cabela’s, the giant outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, will celebrate the official grand opening of its two Denverarea locations in Thornton and Lone Tree on Aug. 15. Ribbon-cutting ceremonies hosted by Cabela’s executives and special guests will begin at 10:45 a.m. at each location, and doors will open for business at 11 a.m. Opening day will begin a weekend-long celebration featuring outdoor celebrities, events for the entire family, giveaways and more. The 110,000-square-foot Lone Tree store will be located in Douglas County in the new RidgeGate Commons development along Interstate 25 at RidgeGate Parkway. The 90,000-square-foot Thornton store will be located in a new retail development along I-25 at 144th Ave. Cabela’s operates 44 stores across North America with plans to open an additional 16 over the next two years. More information at www.cabelas.com.

Peak 7 Vodka a big hit

Denver’s own Peak 7 Vodka made a splash recently into the Colorado microspirits market. The seven-time distilled Peak 7, made at Mile High Distillery, comes onto the scene on the heels of a medalwinning performance at the 2013 Denver International Spirits Contest March 2 and 3. Twelve prominent spirits professionals judged the double-blind tasting, and Peak 7 Vodka was awarded a bronze for best vodka. “We are Colorado people who want to make a vodka that reflects the culture and vibrancy of Denver and the Rocky Mountains,” said Peak 7 co-founder Dave Collier. “We think Colorado’s the best place on earth you can live, and the best place on earth to make great vodka.” Peak 7 Vodka is currently available

Dancers from Fiesta Colorado will perform at the DanceFest along with other featured dancers June 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the amphitheater.

at Mondo Vino in Denver’s Highland neighborhood, and at Fort Collins eateries Austin’s American Grill, The Moot House and Enzio’s Italian Kitchen. “All things being equal, there are a lot of people who would rather buy locally made spirits,” Peak 7 co-founder Desi Lopez said. “We’re delivering that high-end quality that people have come to expect from some of the major European brands, but we’re doing it with vodka made right here in our home city.” For more about Peak 7 Vodka, go to www.peak7vodka.com.

Vegan Pizza Day

Patxi’s Pizza (pronounced PAH-cheese) celebrates Vegan Pizza Day with vegan selections available on June 29. Patxi’s Cherry Creek and Cherry Hills locations are offering a vegan pizza combo created by chef/partner Patxi Azpiroz, newly back from his food tour of the Amalfi Coast.

University Blvd., Englewood, and 185 Steele St., Denver) feature a $2 Lagunitas’ IPA, a vegan beer. More information at www.patxispizza. com.

Help film society go digital

The Denver Film Society wants to step over the line. No, they don’t want to start showing triple-X movies. Rather “the line” represents the $150,000 fundraising goal to buy four new digital film projectors — as Hollywood transitions to an all-digital format — for the DFS’ Sie FilmCenter, The Ellie Caulkins (home of the Starz Denver

Film Festival) and Red Rocks for the Film on the Rocks summer series. The total amount needed is $300,000 for the projectors for the Sie Film Center and Red Rocks Amphitheatre. To spur cash donations, DFS honcho Britta “The Jesus” Erickson stars in a three-minute promotional video spoofing the John Turturro role in the 1998 cult film “The Big Lebowski” with supporting actors stand-up comedian Chuck Roy and Will Morris, a manager at the Sie FilmCenter. Erickson, complete with bowling shoes and a hairnet, licks the red bowling ball and bowls what looks like a guaranteed gutter ball, but the scene is cut before the ball reaches its destination. Meanwhile Roy and Morris drink beer, look on and hurl comments such as “you crossed the line!” That’s the whole idea. The DFS donation website — www. kickstarter.com/projects/1728212872/ secure-the-future-of-the-denver-filmsociety?ref=live — will remain live through June 28. With eight days to go, more than $84,000 was pledged. If you donate a minimum of $25 and the DFS reaches its $150,000 goal, backers will be treated to a special screening of “The Big Lebowski” on July 31 at Red Rocks.

Die laughing

Dave Chappelle, Flight of the Conchords, Demetri Martin, Kristen Schaal, Hannibal Buress and others will headline FunnyorDie.com’s Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival tour stop on Sept. 13 at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre in Greenwood Village. The Colorado stop is one of 13 dates on the five-week comedy tour that starts Aug. 23 in Austin. FunnyorDie.com was launched in 2007 by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. It quickly became a hit thanks to the video “The Landlord,” which starred McKay’s 2-year-old daughter, Pearl, who plays a cursing landlord trying to get rent money from Ferrell’s character. “We always love to push the comedy boundaries at Funny or Die and this festival will do just that,” said Dick Glover, CEO of Funny or Die. “It’s the perfect blend of comedy and crazy that will for sure resonate with comedy fans looking

for a one-of-a-kind experience.” Doors to the show open at 5 p.m. Tickets are on sale starting at 10 a.m. Friday at www.livenation.com or www.funnyordie. com/oddball. A video announcing the tour is live on Funny or Die at www.funnyordie.com/oddball. For VIP box seats call 303-837-1024.

Local laughs

Local jokester and Comedy Works regular Phil Palisoul snagged first place at the 2013 Great American Comedy Festival recently in Norfolk, Neb. Palisoul, a Denver native, beat out eight other professional comedians in the finals to take home the top trophy. The Great American Comedy Festival is a four-day event honoring Norfolk native Johnny Carson, the greatest talk-show host ever. The event features some of the best amateur and professional comedians from across the country. Ironically, Palisoul tried to get on the “Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” early in the Denver comedian’s career. “And when I wasn’t able to get on the show, I was really disappointed. So, to be able to come here and do this well in a festival for his name and honor is ... it’s overwhelming really,” Palisoul told comedy.broadwayworld.com. Palisoul’s prize was $1,000. Read more about Palisoul’s victory at www.bit.ly/140oIjP. Winners were picked by a panel of comedy club managers who judged the comedians on material, audience reaction and poise. You can catch the Denver winner’s act at 7:30 p.m. July 9 during Comedy Night @ West Woods at West Woods Bar & Grill, 6655 Quaker St., Arvada. Tickets are available at www.Eventbrite.com (keyword: West Woods). Tickets are $12 and there is a two-drink minimum for those who do not have dinner at the restaurant before the show. The show is hosted by nationally touring comic Bob Meddles and is produced by Slap Happy Entertainment.

The city of Arvada and the Golden Optimists have partnered to provide refurbished bicycles to community members in Arvada. The Golden Optimists’ bicycle program was started in 1985 by Ted Rains. Since then the Optimists have refurbished and recycled about 150 bicycles per

REGIONAL NEWS IN A HURRY Water rescue in the canyon

High water levels left two Clear Creek rafters in need of assistance June 21. At 3:22 p.m. that day, Golden Dispatch received a call from the Colorado State Patrol about two rafters who were stranded on Clear Creek near mile marker 269. The rafters had been thrown into the water when their raft flipped. They were able to make it to shore on their own, but they were on the opposite side of the creek from the road with no way to get back across. Golden Fire set up a rope system and had water rescue crews work to pull the stranded rafters to safety. The rafters, 48-year-old Tim Friday, of Castle Rock, and 38-year-old Heather Beasley, of Parker, were wearing all of the proper gear, complete with helmets and life jackets. They suffered only minor injuries.

During the rescue, U.S. Highway 6 was reduced to one lane and State Patrol officers directed traffic. The rescue took less than an hour from the time of the call to 911 until the rafters were safely on the road.

Enstrom in Arvada now offers coffee and pastries as well as more ice cream flavors in addition to its chocolate offerings and famous almond toffee. “If it’s chocolate, we make it,” Linda said. “Almond toffee is our specialty. It’s easy to chew and tender and comes in different flavors.” Chet’s original recipe for almond toffee is still the one used by Enstrom today. “We’re a wonderful family business and that’s what separates us from a lot of other

Jeffco District Attorney Pete Weir called the ban “a thoughtful and prudent approach” to help protect children.

Don’t miss out on Legacy Ridge Golf Course Westminster municipal facility is big on value By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com WESTMINSTER — Westminster has one of Colorado golf’s best kept secrets. Actually, it’s a disservice to call Legacy Ridge golf course a secret. If you have never played the course, near Sheridan Boulevard and 104th Avenue about 20 minutes from downtown Denver, once you do you will certainly feel like you have been missing out. Legacy Ridge offers a golf experience that might feel like a $125 round of golf for less than half of the price. Whether you’re a long ball hitter or prefer going short from the red tees, Legacy Ridge is not only a course that is full of challenges, but features views that would impress Ansel Adams. In addition, near perfect course conditions and a warm and inviting staff have made Legacy Ridge one of the popular destinations in the metro area. “For a municipal course we are definitely upscale,” Legacy Ridge assistant professional Mark Roush said. “Our course is always in beautiful shape but that is because we have great people who maintain the course.” Opened in 1994, this Arthur Hills design measures 7,157 yards from the championship tees, shrinking to 5,315 yards from the red tees. This Colorado-style Scottish links lay out targets players of all levels with four tee boxes on every hole, wide fairways, generous landing areas and greens that average more than 6,000 square feet. The course’s signature hole is No. 9, a par 4 that is 417 yards from the tips but only 279 yards from the white tees. That means big hitters have to contemplate if they want to attempt to drive the green, hoping to catch the downhill

slope and let their ball roll up to the hole. However, pushing the ball even a little bit too far to the right can mean landing in the pond that runs along the west side of the green. Some take the chance, drive the green and putt for eagle. “You can play the course as long or as short as you want it but either way presents challenges. But there are also some birdies out there and scoring opportunities,” said Tom Harper, a regular at Legacy Ridge. With quite a few golf courses in Legacy Ridge’s area, competition for patrons can be tough for some courses. But not Legacy Ridge. The course has turned into a destination golf courses and beside hosting numerous events they also have also compiled trophy case full of awards. “There are not a lot of golf experiences out there like the one we provide at Legacy Ridge, at least not for under $100,” Roush said. The course is also currently offering a junior golf program ages 5 to 17. If you want to play Legacy Ridge they recommend that you book through the online system and create an account to expedite the booking process. By creating an account, you are then part of the “SPIRIT Club” which gains you access to the best discounts and specials for green fees, cart fees, merchandise, food/beverage offers, newsletters, text specials, tournaments, golf club demo days and upcoming events. Legacy Ridge is one of two Westminster municipal golf courses. The other is The Heritage Golf Course at Westmoor, another course with an outstanding reputation. The two courses offer individual golf passes where you can play unlimited golf at both courses. “Learn the Legacy,” is their slogan. So be prepared to get educated in a great golf experience.

Massive practice facilities make Legacy Ridge a must play for golfers looking to lower scores.

strength and conditioning aspects of the football program in addition to other sport programs, comes to Golden after a ninemonth stint as a weightroom assistant and three-year tenure as a graduate assistant on the Cougars coaching staff. As a linebackers’ coach in 2011, Nicholson helped the club to incredible defensive success, ranking among national leaders in sacks, tackles-for-loss and interceptions. He was a defensive backs assistant in 2012 and worked again with the linebackers in 2013. During his tenure at Houston, Nicholson helped three Houston defenders to the NFL, including D.J.

He averaged 23.8 points per game and helped his team to state championships as a sophomore and junior in 1993 and 1994. Billups just completed his 16th season in the National Basketball Association, highlighted by six years with Detroit when he helped the Pistons to the 2004 NBA championship. “Chauncey is one of the brightest basketball minds I have ever coached,” said former Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl. “He is a legend at (University of) Colorado and is maybe the greatest ever player to come out of the state.” “Mr. Clutch,” as he has now known as around the NBA, went from being a young journeyman player to becoming MVP of the
