Snack-n-Wagon gets rolling Summer food program launches By Glenn Wallace
gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com The Golden Backpack Program’s mobile summer food program, dubbed the Snackn-Wagon, is officially rolling, providing lunch every weekday for 100 Golden children who might not otherwise get to eat. The Snack-n-Wagon began serving food to the community on July 1. After a brief pause on July 4 and 5, the service will run every weekday until Aug. 9. The bus makes two stops to serve food:
Fox Hill Apartments, 17611 West 16th Ave., from 11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.; and Mountainside Estates, 17190 Mount Vernon Road, from noon to 12:30 p.m. To gear up for the first week of service, two dozen Snack-n-Wagon volunteers held a training session last week. Among the volunteers was first-timer Joanne Aldridge, of Golden. “It sounded like something quick and easy that fit into my schedule,” she said. Aldridge had been looking for a volunteer opportunity in Golden for a long time, she said. “There’s a lot of positive feeling here about it, and I think it will be a great success,” she said.
It was a family affair for Golden mother Suzie Veldman and her two sons, Brett, 16, and Jackson, 14. “My husband’s in Rotary, so we thought it was a good way to help out and get hungry kids some food,” she said, noting hat it helped that the required volunteer time would not take up the boys’ whole summer. Brett Veldman said he was looking forward to doing community volunteer work. “I’m excited about it. Getting to help other people is a plus,” he said. More volunteers are needed to run the Snack-n-Wagon this summer. For information or to volunteer, contact volunteer staff coordinator Judy Maxwell by email at judy. maxwell23@gmail.com.
Road projects in the north and south of Golden are causing motorists a few delays this summer. On the northern end, State Highway 58 bridges over Ford Street are being replaced, in what is estimated to be a one-year, $9.1 million project. The Colorado Department of Transportaton’s project website lists the bridges’ initial construction date to be 1957. The replacement work is scheduled to take one year. Currently, traffic in both directions is limited to one lane. While traffic is shifted to the southern bridge, the northern bridge will be demolished and replaced. City of Golden Public Works Director Dan Hartman said CDOT officials and the city intended the demolition to be complete by July 3. Tthe new northern bridge should be completed in five months, he said, at which time all traffic would be rerouted to the northern side to complete the demolition and replacement of the south bridge. During construction the westbound ramp from Highway 58 to Washington Avenue will remain closed. The on ramp from Clearview Parkway was closed for construction and will be permanently closed, per the city’s intent to build an earthen berm to act as a sound barrier in that location. “Some but not all of the dirt for that berm will come out of that (CDOT) project,” Hartman said. To accommodate detour traffic, HartZones continues on Page 21
Growth law faces modification by City Council City eyes change to 1 percent growth limit By Glenn Wallace
gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com Change may be coming for the city of Golden’s 1-percent growth ordinance. On Thursday, July 11, the Golden City Council will consider modifying the ordinance that has been in effect for nearly 18 years. The ordinance is designed to limit new residential development in the city to just one percent of the current residential population. The changes include the removal of the ordinance exemption for senior housing, as well as adding more flexibility to build larger “transit-oriented” projects within 2,500 feet of the new RTD W Rail Line station at the Jefferson County Administration and Courts building. The modifications also include a lowering of the city’s average growth rate from 1 percent to 0.9 percent, when measured over a six-year average. POSTAL ADDRESS
The latest modification to the 1 percent growth ordinance, approved by city voters in 1995, has received a mixed reaction from those who campaigned to establish it. Laura McCall said she purposefully drafted the language in the 1995 ballot measure to be simple and straightforward, limiting growth to 1 percent a year. “I wish they wouldn’t mess with it,” McCall said, calling the new provision for building near the light rail station a handy excuse. “The city’s been doing this forever; they always have a rational,” she said. Don Parker said he played a small role in the 1 percent ordinance campaign because he did not want Golden “to become just another big suburb of Denver.” Parker said he was in favor of the changes. He said he approved of the removal of the senior-housing exemptions, and that it was desirable for the city to encourage higher-

Unincorporated Jefferson County was placed under stage two fire restrictions last week, by order of the county sheriff. Specifically the stage two restrictions — banning most fires — apply to all properties west of State Highway 93 and west/ south of C-470. The fire ban does not permit anything that produces an open flame that is not gas fueled. The ban includes all charcoal grills, camp fires and fireworks. Professional firework displays, approved by local fire officials, may still occur. Smoking in the vicinity of any vegetation is also prohibited. After the ban was announced, Jeffco Open Space Parks announced a blanket ban on smoking on all Open Space parkland. Details on the fire ban are on the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office website at jeffco.us/sheriff/fire‐restrictions‐and‐bans/.
Roommate charged with murder
The roommate of 49-year-old David Noren of Lakewood has been charged with his murder. District Attorney Peter Weir announced last week that Ryan Boyd Hicks, 34, had been formally charged with first-degree murder, along with aggravated robbery, motor vehicle theft and identity theft related to the disappearance of Noren. Noren disappeared on May 19. His body was found in Clear Creek County three weeks later. According to court filings, Hicks attacked Noren, killed him, and took his vehicle and wallet. Hicks, who has prior felony convictions, was taken into custody in Arizona on unrelated charges and extradited back
to Colorado to face the murder charges. If convicted, Hicks faces life in prison without the possibility of parole. He is being held without bond at the Jefferson County jail.
Walgreens shoplifter
A dapper shoplifter, who struck at least four Walgreens across Jefferson County, has been identified and arrested. Curtis Mico Williams, 27, was arrested in Idaho, where he is also suspected of shoplifting. Williams is believed to be the man seen in multiple Walgreens surveillance videos, shoplifting teeth whitening strips, weight-loss pills, hair-growth products and condoms. Investigators believe Williams struck at least 18 stores in 12 jurisdictions in Colorado, along with other Walgreens stores in Utah, Minnesota, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska and Puerto Rico.

Jeffco seeks to age gracefully Summit highlights efforts to assist the aging By Glenn Wallace
gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com Showing some longevity, the fifth annual Aging Well in Jefferson County summit took place June 25 at WaterStone Community Church in Littleton. “I know a lot of other counties that try to do this, and it dwindles after a few years. Not Jefferson County,” County Aging Well Project Manager Susan Franklin told this year’s attendees. Franklin said 2013 also marked the fifth year of the county’s 20-year strategic plan to assist and accommodate the retiring babyboomer generation, which has contributed to giving Jeffco the highest 60-plus population of all Colorado counties. ”We want to make Jefferson County the best county to live in,” Franklin said, adding that the summit was also designed to help highlight senior issues and increase networking among agencies, charities, and care workers who work with seniors. This year’s introductory speaker was Wheat Ridge Mayor Jerry DiTullio. He said that with one in four of his residents being older than 60 years old, the pressure on senior services would continue. DiTullio said he was happy to see the city’s involvement in a private-public partnership lead to the construction of 88 new senior housing apartments and its partnership with the Senior Resource Center to offer senior residents a circulator bus. DiTullio shared a story of how his family helped his mother stay in her Wheat Ridge home, aging in place. ”Seems to me, it’s better than putting them in a facility, if that’s what they want,” DiTullio said. The theme for this year’s summit was “Living on the Edge,” addressing lowerADVERTISEMENT

The roughly 200 summit attendees chose from a range of workshops presented in basic categories: intellectual and developmental disabilities; basic needs; social and civic engagement; housing; care giving and support services; health (mental, wellness, prevention); transportation; and gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender. Shari Wilkins, a director at the state’s Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual and Transgender Center, said many of the issues facing seniors — including social isolation and financial instability — are often worse for gay seniors. “This is one of the few times I’m aware of, in Colorado for sure, that a plan like this looks at the gay and lesbian populations specifically,” Wilkins said. Gay seniors are more likely to be closeted, less likely to have children, and less likely to have a spouse. Those who are in long-term relationships also lack access to many medical and financial spousal benefits, Wilkins said.

Organizers plan ballot question on school funding By Vic Vela

www.SamAndLouiesPizza.com
The tax initiative tied to funding of a major overhaul of Colorado’s school finance formula has been determined, and the campaign that’s behind it now has a name. N o w , Report the real work for organizers begins: Getting signatures for a ballot proposal and, ultimately, trying to sell voters on the need for supporting about $950 million in new taxes that will be used to reshape how schools are funded. A committee that is calling itself Colorado Commits to Kids announced last week that they will work to put a two-tiered income tax increase on the ballot this fall. The tax initiative, which will impact higher wage earners more, will support the funding needed to enact Senate Bill 213, a major rewrite of the School Finance Act. The act, which was passed by the Legislature earlier this year, would create full-day kindergarten, provide preschool for at-risk children, and would put more money into needsbased programs for special education students and children who are learning English. The legislation also aims to increase per-pupil funding for school districts across the state that support-

ers say would be done in a more equitable fashion than the current system allows. “We are eager to have a vigorous debate when the campaign begins in earnest,” said Curtis Hubbard, on behalf of Colorado Commits to Kids. “We’ve worked almost two years on this, trying to support the right measure. We think we’ve hit on the right system.” Right now, Colorado’s current income tax rate is a flat 4.63 percent, regardless of income level. The initiative will ask voters to approve an addition 0.37 percent in taxes on income earners who make up to $75,000 a year, bringing their tax rates up to five percent. Residents making more than $75,000 a year would pay 5 percent on their first $75,000 of taxable income, and a rate of 5.9 percent on income above that amount. Republican legislators opposed Senate Bill 213 during the recent legislative session and their opinions aren’t changing now that they know what the tax initiative will look like. “A tax increase like this runs the risk of stalling this fragile economic recovery moving forward,” said House Minority Leader Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs. Waller also wondered why the tax hike is needed, citing recently released revenue forecasts that project the State Education Fund will have a balance of $1.6 billion for the coming budget year. However, state Rep. Sue Schafer, DWheat Ridge, countered Waller’s argument by saying the revenue increase is loaded with one-time funds that are meant for “rainy day” spending. “They want to play Russian roulette with my children’s future,” Scha-

IMAX theater celebrates 30th anniversary Museum offering buy 3, get 1 film ticket free
Where: Denver Museum of Nature and Science
By Tammy Kranz
2001 Colorado Blvd., Denver
tkranz@ourcoloradonews.com This summer marks the 30th anniversary for the Phipps IMAX theater at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. “We opened the theater in 1983, and it was the only IMAX screen in Denver,” said Amanda Bennett, director of marketing at the museum (DMNS). While there are now hundreds of IMAX screens in the country, she said that what sets Phipps apart is “we really focus and are dedicated to informal science education.” About 300,000 people visit the theater annually, and Bennett said she thinks the popularity is due to the digital experience and the film topics. “The content is such that it’s enthralling and keeps you on the edge of your seat, literally at times,” she said. Toby Winsett, IMAX operations manager, added, “The museum is proud to offer a variety of films in our Phipps IMAX Theater. Larger-than-life experiences to the bottom the of the sea and into outer space add a fun dimension to a museum visit.” The museum is offering a special on IMAX film prices through Sept. 2. People

All they have to do is get a punch card at any admissions desk. “It’s just a great promotion because it allows you flexibility and provides incentive to see all our films,” Bennett said. In 2010 the theater was renovated so it could show digital 2D and 3D films. The renovation included a new four-and-ahalf-story screen, new seating and flooring. Guests may have noticed that the new seats have cup holders attached to the backs of them, which is odd because the theater does not allow snacks and drinks. However, that will change in August when the theater will start selling concessions. “We’re going to start limited in scope,”

Rulings on gay marriage cases mark ‘new era’ By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Local gay lawmakers are applauding recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings on two key gay-marriage cases, and are expressing confidence that the decisions will provide momentum for a same-sex-marriage movement in Colorado. “The court clearly said that we’re in a new era of respect and dignity, and that we no longer give special rights to some people,” said state Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge. The high court on June 26 struck down key provisions of the Defense of Marriage Act, which denied federal benefits to gay couples who are legally married in certain states. In a separate case, the court cleared the way for gay marriages to resume in California.
The rulings do not impact a gay-marriage ban that Colorado voters supported in 2006. However, gay legislators believe the rulings will provide momentum toward achieving something in Colorado beyond civil unions, which gives same-sex couples some of the rights associated with marriage and was made law earlier this year. “With civil unions, there was always an understanding that this would be an incremental step,” said state Rep. Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City. Schafer was a House sponsor of Senate Bill 11, the Civil Unions Act, along with Mark Ferrandino, the state’s first openly gay House speaker. “Now that the Supreme Court has ensured that the federal government can’t discriminate against same-sex couples who are married, it is more important than ever
that we continue to fight for the freedom to marry in Colorado,” Ferrandino said in a statement issued after the rulings. Almost immediately after the Supreme Court issued its rulings, there was movement toward repealing Colorado’s Amendment 43, the 2006 voter-approved Definition of Marriage Act that banned gay marriage in the state. Two Coloradans on June 26 filed a proposed ballot initiative with the state’s Legislative Council that would allow same-sex couples in Colorado to marry. Jeremy Mathis, a graduate student living in Aurora, said his hope is for the measure to get on the 2014 general election ballot. “We’re in the very early stages,” he said. “We’re eager, and we know how much it means to people to get this done. At the same time, we have to do it right.” The Legislature could take up an Amend-
ment 43 repeal on its own. However any changes to the state’s Constitution would require a two-thirds majority in both legislative chambers. Asked if she would like to be a part of that kind of effort, Schafer said, “Of course. I’d be proud to do that.” “But I like the idea of putting this on our ballot,” she said. “I think we’re ready for this. I don’t think it would be difficult because so many people are parents and friends of gays.” Moreno said Coloradans have evolved on the issue of gay marriage, seven years removed from Amendment 43, which was supported by about 55 percent of voters. “I think the public opinion on this issue has changed dramatically,” Moreno said. “Colorado is a different place than what it was in 2006, when it still didn’t pass by an overwhelming majority.”
Lopez found guilty in strangulation death of girlfriend Jury hands down guilty verdict on all charges By Glenn Wallace
gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com Richelle Ann Best, 21, died of strangulation, but it was up to a jury to decide whether her boyfriend, Corey Anthony Lopez, killed her by accident or out of malice. The jury decided it was intentional, and handed Lopez, 23, a guilty verdict for firstdegree murder on June 26, after eight hours of deliberation. The jury also decided that there was enough evidence to declare Lopez guilty of attempted first-degree murder of another

girlfriend during a 2008 incident. Friends and family of Best broke into applause with the announcement. Lopez showed little emotion until he stood and turned towards his friends and family as sheriff’s deputies handcuffed him. Judge Christie Phillips had instructed the jury members that they could find Lopez guilty of a lesser crime in both cases, such as second-degree murder or manslaughter. To meet the qualifications for first-degree murder, Judge Phillips told the jury, Lopez must have committed the murder “after deliberation, and with intent.” On July 24 of last year, Lopez called police from his apartment at 1017 Teller St. in Lakewood to report that Best was unresponsive. Police arrived and found Best
dead at the scene. The autopsy revealed 40 separate injuries on Best’s body, particularly blunt-force trauma to the neck area, with damage to the muscle, cartilage, vocal cords and esophagus. In police interviews, and later through his defense attorneys, Lopez maintained that he inadvertently strangled Best during sex, while the couple was intoxicated. During closing arguments, the prosecutors from the District Attorney’s office described Lopez as a violent and abusive boyfriend, losing control over Best. Deputy District Attorney Megan Trear reminded jurors of the testimony of the autopsy experts regarding strangulation. “Three to six seconds for unconsciousness. For death, a minimum of three min-
utes, constant pressure” Trear said, while putting a 3-minute countdown on the video screen. “Do you have time to realize that your hands around someone’s neck is killing them?” Defense attorney Julie Rammer argued that Lopez’s statements and actions were much more consistent with a tragic accident than with murder. She mentioned the audio of Lopez’s 911 call to authorities and his cooperation with Lakewood police investigators. “This is not someone who wants to hide something,” Rammer said. Sentencing for Lopez is scheduled for Tuesday, July 16. He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without chance of parole.

opinions / yours and ours
Embrace challenges, follow your inner drive I love surprises. As I’ve mentioned before, I was recently training for a big event, and part of that training involved long runs to build up my endurance. No matter how many times I ran or for how far, I just couldn’t get into running — I don’t enjoy it, I’ve never experienced the “runner’s high,” and I was looking forward to completing the event because then I would feel like I didn’t have to go running any more. But then, this last Saturday, I found myself mentally planning out my nighttime training run as I was going about my day, and, strangely, looking forward to it. I guess, somewhere along the way as I was working and training to accomplish something, I changed. I became a runner. Weird. I think what often gets lost in our culture that glorifies the achievement and celebrates the winner is that hard work is not nearly as valuable for what you accomplish as it is for what you become in the meantime.
Teachers and coaches have an innate sense for this; at least, the good ones do. When you hear educators talk about why their subject is important and how valuable it is to students, it’s rarely because they think that being good at algebra or science or music or football is the end-all, be-all of their lives and the springboard to a Perfect Life. A lot more often it’s because they understand that a student who can make the necessary sacrifices, endure the effort and learn to persevere to be really good at one thing becomes a different per-
question of the week
What do you enjoy doing in-state for vacation? Most working adults enjoy at least a little bit of vacation time. However, not everyone can afford an expensive out-ofstate vacation. So for our Question of the
Week, we asked several of our readers: What activities in Colorado do you consider for your vacation?
“White water rafting is something the entire family can do. It sounds dangerous but there are different levels, and it doesn’t have to be. A lot of fun!” ~ Marcello Romano, Castle Rock
“Colorado is one of the underrated golf states in the country. You don’t have to go to Arizona, California or Florida for great golf because we have it here. Go make a weekend out of it in the mountains; you can play golf while your wife shops.” ~ Gil Whiteley, a Chicago native who lives in Denver
“People love Moab (Utah), but I would say the best hiking can be accomplished in Colorado. There are so many trails that lead so many places. Climb one of our many 14ers.” ~ Josh Dover, Northglenn
“It’s all about the staycation. Why leave the state when you have towns like Durango, Estes Park and Glenwood Springs. Colorado has so many great places to spend a weekend and explore.” ~ Connie Nguyen, Highlands Ranch

son — somebody who is capable of doing the same thing when it really matters. Think of it this way: LeBron James is a freak of nature — 6-foot 6-inches tall, 235 pounds, runs a 4.3-second 40-yard dash and can jump out of the gym. And, by every account, he is one of the hardestworking players in basketball. He was born with a great gift, but that is never enough — unfulfilled potential practically cliché, especially in pro basketball. But the hard work that he puts in every day has transformed him from simply being the best basketball player on the planet into something different and more valuable: a champion. When the chips are down and the game is on the line, LeBron James finds ways to make plays that help his team win. Does anybody honestly think that if his house was burning down and his children were trapped inside, he wouldn’t find a way to get them out safely? The U.S. military has known this forever: every kid who signs up is a hero in
the making. You read stories about Medal of Honor winners, and they all have very different personalities and backgrounds. But once they go through boot camp, they become something different. When the chips are down, being a hero isn’t a choice they make — it’s an instinct they’ve been trained to listen to. The hardest metals are forged in the hottest fires. That was true for Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, it was true for writers of ancient Chinese proverbs, and it’s still true today. Do not be afraid of hard training, of challenges, or of testing— embrace them. You will come out the other side changed, whether you intended it or not. And you might just love who you become.

Again, becoming aware of where and when we are supposed to be somewhere or with someone. Now for all of you who do not struggle with this problem as you are always on time, punctual, and prompt, maybe you too can help coach those of us who have slipped and despite our best efforts show up late for everything. And for those of us who have slipped, this is one of those bad habits that needs to be addressed and eliminated as early as possible. Because the longer we allow it to go on, the worse we actually become. We go from being just a few minutes late to showing up 30 minutes late, or even later. There is an old saying that goes like this, “Early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable.” So remember respect, commitment, and awareness and we will have a much better shot at being on time and avoid running late for almost everything we do. I would love to hear all about your strategies for being on time or your frustrations with others running late at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we start improving our efforts at being on time, it will be a better than good week.
Better never late than late In the midst of our hectic life and sometimes chaotic schedules there are times when we find ourselves running late for almost everything we do. As I found this happening more and more in my own life recently, I had to stop and ask myself, why? Was I not placing enough emphasis or importance on the meeting I was scheduled to attend? Did I believe that even if I was just a few minutes late that would be OK? Had I convinced myself that my time was more valuable than that of the person I was supposed to meet with? Or was I just cramming as much as I possibly could into my day and getting so wrapped up in a project or task that the time just slipped away and before I knew it I was already running late? I found myself justifying my lateness, not only to me but to everyone that was on my calendar. Making excuse after excuse until finally I realized that I was making excuses and making apologies for something that I could easily control. You probably have friends or family members that fall into this very same category. They are late for everything and always call or text with a reason for why they are running late. I have a few people in my life too that qualify as habitual late arrivers. So much so that we would have to tell the person that is chronically late that the scheduled event was starting 15 to 30 minutes earlier than it was actually starting. I am sure many of you use the same tactic for those in your own circle of friends and family who struggle with being on time. And here I was thinking, if I keep this up, if I continue running late for everything, that pretty soon people would start managing me in the very same way. I would get the invitation for a 7 p.m. dinner when the reservations were really for 7:30. This just comes down to commitment and respect. Two things that I teach and coach on a daily basis, but was not applying in my own life. And really when I have this conversation with clients or friends we discuss awareness of where we are supposed to be, the commitments we have made for the day, and the people or clients we are scheduled to meet with that day.

‘Global’ stores aid refugees overseas Coffee shop, thrift store support healthcare work of Global Refuge International By Sara Van Cleve
svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com A new coffee shop in Arvada and a thrift shop in Westminster are offering fresh brews and deals for locals, but they’re providing much more for people thousands of miles away. Global Refuge International, a nonprofit that provides emergency lifelines to displaced people, opened Global Thrift, 9110 W. 88th Ave. in Westminster, in November and is headquartered on the second floor at Global Goods and Coffee Shop, 5613 Olde Wadsworth Blvd. in Arvada, in May. Both locations are operated by volunteers so the majority of the profit goes directly to Global Refuge International. “We started out supporting work with refugees in Burma, with the civil war going on,” said Jaden McNeely, of Global Refuge International. “We were providing medicine, taking supplies, and supporting different small groups and giving them resources. At some point we decided this is something we need to do officially.” Global Refuge International began its work in 2001 and was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 2005. Since its founding, the organization has done work in Burma, Congo, Indonesia, Uganda, Syria and Lebanon. “Since then, our focus has always been on displaced people, people who were forced out of their homes because of conflict or disaster, natural or manmade,” McNeely, son of Global Refuge International founder Brian McNeely, said. “We target that population because we see them as the most vulnerable. When you’re forced out of your home, you have nothing. Especially where people have been displaced for a long amount of time, they struggle to
Volunteer barista Amber Leppert prepares a coffee for a customer at The Global Goods and Coffee Shop, 5613 Olde Wadsworth Blvd., in Olde Town Arvada. The shop sells coffee, pastries and handmade African items to support Global Refuge International. The nonprofit’s main initiative is combating malaria in Uganda through education, testing and treatment. One coffee from the Global Goods and Coffee Shop can provide several malaria test and treatment kits. Photos by Sara Van Cleve have a normal life. They fight hard to have it though.” McNeely described Global Refuge International as a holistic health organization that focuses on health and sanitation in countries with displaced populations. Global Refuge International is currently doing work in Uganda, battling malaria and water sanitation, and supplying help in Syria and Lebanon during the current war. With the economic downturn, McNeely said Global Refuge International, like many organizations, was having trouble expanding its work . “We wanted to find a way (to raise money) that didn’t ask people to go above and beyond, but that works into their normal spending,” he said.
Include fishing in your family vacation Family vacation plans in place? Fishing on the agenda? The two don’t mix you say? Too often we fail to see the two, in fact, are very compatible and the whole family can enjoy a whole new environment of angling opportunities. Fishing opportunities are virtually anywhere, everywhere we might vacation. When thoughtfully planned; fishing need not interfere with the prime vacation objectives. What we fail to recognize is that vacation itineraries may very well take us to some of the most unique and exotic waters we might otherwise never get chance to fish. Over the years when my kids were small we fished and vacationed all in the same trip. Vacation destinations like the Northwest offer salmon and steelhead fishing both fresh and salt water angling; Kansas and Nebraska rivers and lakes provide excellent cat fishing; Florida not only has the popular Disney World, but great deep water and shallow flats fishing in the Florida Keys; Hawaii resorts that front on the ocean surf have easy and convenient access for shoreline spin casting or fly fishing. While fishing was not our family’s primary objective, we could always carve out a few hours or half a day to enjoy angling not readily found at home. There are some easy strategies to blend angling into vacation planning and when considerately done will make the vacation list and angling a “win-win” enjoyment. • Research your family vacation documents and planning material which typically will list angling locations and fishing guide services. • Google the vacation sites you plan to visit and find additional fishing locations, guides and angling shops to contact. • Before embarking on the vacation
stop by your favorite local fly shop or sporting goods and ask about fishing opportunities at or close to your vacation destinations. • Scan the destination state’s game and fish department websites for additional helpful information and suggestions. Contact our local Parks and Wildlife offices as well. • If you use AAA or other vacation planning assistance specially ask them for fishing locations and contacts. • If you are a member of any of the angling organizations such as Trout Unlimited, American Bass Anglers, North American Crappie Association, and Walleye Unlimited give them a call for suggestions. • Friends who have visited the same destinations your family will travel to may have helpful ideas as well. Fishing gear can be easily transported. There are great compact travel gear sets that minimize space. Fishing gear can also be rented at destination fishing sites from local guides or fishing shops. Advanced planning can enhance a family vacation and allow a family to explore new fishing opportunities at minimal costs or inconvenience. For more information, visit Ron Hellbusch@comcast.net
Through that desire, the thrift store and coffee shop were born. The family has lived in Colorado quite a while and so brought their work here, and choose the thrift store location based on a need they saw in the area. The thrift store is stocked with donated items, which also helps Global Refuge International direct profits to work across the globe. Global Goods and Coffee Shop offers handcrafted coffee from The Brewing Market in Boulder, tea and fresh-baked pastries at a price cheaper than many other coffee shops. The shop also sells items made by Ugandans. “The goods are made in northern Uganda,” McNeely said. “We pay the people di-
rectly, and the goods are all made by people we are helping with our projects. It helps sustain them and then, in a way, they are generating money for their own projects. It’s really about self-empowerment.” The main initiative in Uganda that both the coffee shop and thrift store support is the battle against malaria, a mosquitoborne infectious disease that is the No. 1 killer in Uganda. Global Refuge International focuses on training local people to provide aid, McNeely said. “For our malaria initiative, we train medics who lived in the village, and they go back and live life,” he said. “We train them to test and treat people, and train them on every other aspect of malaria. We fund the medics themselves, provide all of the drugs and treatment kits in one inclusive thing.” To test and treat a person showing symptoms of malaria costs about $1 per person. The Ugandan population is very young, with the average age being 15, according to Children of the Nations, and children 5 and under are most at risk of dying from malaria, he said. “A child could be running and playing soccer in a field, and 24 hours be dead,” McNeely said. “In the worst case — and going untreated — an adult could die in three or four days.” Medics originally started by treating one village, which averaged 800 to 1,200 people; now, some medics are treating as many as 2,000 people, McNeely said. “People come from 40 miles away by bicycle and say, ‘I have malaria and need help, and heard you were here,’” he said. By purchasing a cup of coffee and a pastry, or a few items from the thrift store, people can provide several test and treatment kits, McNeely said. Global Refuge International is also accepting volunteer applications for fourhour shifts at either the coffee shop or thrift store.

Mike Cini was 30 days away from returning home to Castle Rock from Vietnam in 1971 when he was injured. “That was the worst day,” Cini said. “Everything was fine until then.” Cini had his left leg amputated below the knee and spent a year in the hospital. “I was engaged when I went over because I didn’t want to go any further if I didn’t make it back,” Cini said. “I made it back though, and I said I wouldn’t get married until I could walk. I didn’t want to go down the aisle in a wheelchair.” He learned to walk again and married his wife Ann. Cini lived in Iowa for 35 years, working at John Deere until he retired. Then the couple moved to Colorado to be closer to their children and grandchildren.
After he moved to Colorado, Cini, who has hunted since he was about 8 years old, connected with the Arvada-based nonprofit U.S. Warriors Outdoors. U.S. Warriors Outdoors sends wounded veterans on outdoor adventures to help them reconnect with passions and hobbies they may not have been able to pursue after being injured. In June, Cini went to Nebraska’s Lake McConaughy on a walleye fishing trip and to try parasailing for the first time. Gene Palumbo brought the idea for U.S. Warriors Outdoors to his friend Tim Thies after he personally saw how injuries and amputations could affect a person’s physical and emotional well being. Longtime outdoorsmen, the two discussed the idea for about 10 years before launching the organization in December 2012. They took their first veterans on a turkey hunt in Nebraska in April. Thies died unexpectedly shortly after that trip. “My father we a below the leg amputee,” Palumbo said. “He lost his leg when I was less than a year old. That experience can have a severe impact on someone physically and emotionally. It changes how they face each day.” Palumbo said he also has several friends who have been injured in war. Being outdoors with fellow veterans who have shared similar experiences can be a sort of therapy, Palumbo said. “It’s therapeutic to go out hunting and be out there trading stories,” Palumbo said. “It’s a therapeutic experience. They can find peace in the outdoors. One of our goals is to create peace and a great experience for our wounded warriors.” The organization and the guides who take the veterans on trips don’t focus on their injuries, Cini said. Cini’s fishing guide in Nebraska was Bill Dorris. “Bill asked me, ‘Are you self-dependent or do you need any assistance?’ I said, ‘I’m pretty independent, but I’ll ask if I need help.’ He asked the question, got the answer and moved on.” U.S. Warriors Outdoors can accommodate almost every veteran, Palumbo said. From duck and elk hunting to fishing, the organization has found ways to host wheelchair-accessible trips for that can accommodate veterans with any type of injury. Operation Enduring Freedom veterans Jason Morrison and Dan Rodriguez were both deployed to Afghanistan and took part in U.S. Warriors Outdoors’ turkey hunt in April. “For me, it was the best weekend hunt I had in a while,” Rodriguez said. “The friends I made during the turkey hunt will always be part of my life. This organization brings people together who have things in common — the military, something most people won’t understand — and it creates a bond that will be everlasting due to the camaraderie that we yearn for now that we’re out of service. I will never forget how comfortable Tim and Gene made us feel that weekend with all the unfamiliar faces around.” U.S. Warriors Outdoors has 27 hunts planned for 36 hunters between September 2013 and February 2014, including an elk hunt for Cini. All hunts are funded by Palumbo and through donations to U.S. Warriors Outdoors. U.S. Warriors Outdoors’ outings are also made possible through landowners and guides who volunteer their time and land for hunts. For more information on how to volunteer, donate or apply to participate in a hunt, go online to www.USWarriorsOutdoors.org.

How to find the right internship R
ecent college grads have found the job market to be somewhat underwhelming. Gaining the attention of a prospective employer is never easy, and it’s even less so when the economy is struggling. One of the ways current students or even recent graduates can make themselves more attractive to prospective employers is to find the right internship. Internships are not always easy to get, and many of them don’t pay. But students who find the right internship often look back and recognize that their internship was their first step toward a rewarding career, and a step that provided valuable insight into their chosen field. To find the right internship, consider the following tips. Work with your school. Whether you’re in college or you’re that rare high schooler looking for an internship, lean on your school for direction and advice. Colleges and universities have career centers that can help you gain an internship. They can assist you through access to job listings and by providing advice on crafting resumes and cover let-
ters or tips on how to interview. In addition to your school’s career center, speak to professors in your desired field and seek their advice. Many professors likely have experience in the field outside of the classroom and might even still work in the field, be it full-time or as a consultant. These professors can point you toward job opportunities or give you advice on what prospective employers are looking for from an intern.
Start early. It’s never too early to start looking for an internship. In fact, many companies hope to have their internship positions filled well in advance. For example, if you’re looking for a summer internship, begin your search no later than January and continue that search throughout the semester. In addition to starting early, don’t just seek summer internships. Some companies make internship opportunities avail-
able year-round, so you might be able to get one that coincides with the school year, even if you had a previous internship with a different company during the year. Internship experience is invaluable, and the more of it you can gain the more attractive you are likely to be to potential employers after graduation. Do your homework. Chances are you’re working toward a degree in a specific field.

Research the leading companies within that field and learn about their internship programs. Visit each company’s Web site and peruse their job listings.

Design and develop new technologies utilizing graduate-level research and analysis skills. Must be available to work on projects at various, unanticipated sites throughout the United States. Less than 50% travel required.
Do some networking. You might not have an expansive network of associates to tap into, but that does not mean you should go it alone. Talk to your parents to see if they or someone they know has heard about any internship opportunities in your chosen field. You might also be able to network via your school’s career center, which likely has an alumni-networking service that enables you to contact past graduates currently working in your chosen field. In some instances, these alumni-networking services can be an internship gold mine, as past graduates might prefer to hire current students from their alma mater as opposed to applicants from other schools. Competition for internships is often steep, and that’s especially so when the economy is struggling and even recent graduates are hoping to land internships. But students can employ several strategies to find the right internships and take their first steps toward rewarding careers. ■

There were a lot of smiles, quite a few tears and even some excited barks during the June 22 Freedom Service Dogs graduation ceremonies at Hampden Hall in Englewood. “This is a big day for Lori, Lola and I,” said Bill Schmitz, referring to his wife, Lori, and her service dog before the ceremony. “Lola, our service dog, will be a huge help to us. Lori has multiple sclerosis, and Lola is always right there to pick up anything she drops. Also, the dog has her own portable phone that, when it rings, Lola picks it up and takes it to Lori. She is very much a part of our family.” He smiled and added that Lola even has her own shelf in the refrigerator. “The shelf is stocked with bottles of water,” the Arvada resident said. “When Lori wants a bottle of water, she tells Lola. The dog opens the refrigerator door and gently takes out a bottle of water, and brings it to Lori.” Bill said the family has been Freedom Service Dogs supporters. He said they donated to a campaign to pay surgery that a service dog needed on her front joints. That dog turned out to be Lola. The family also has provided weekend fostering for dogs in training, and Bill has picked up rescued dogs from shelters and brought them to the Englewood Freedom Service Dogs facility. The graduation ceremonies for the Schmitz family and Lola was also a special occasion for Michael and Sheri Folsom, owners of Englewood-based Cowboy Moving and Storage. “I have always had dogs,” Michael said. “We met the people from Freedom Service Dogs a few years ago when they moved into Englewood. We donated some moving services to help them and learned about what they do. We’ve been supporters ever since. We have included FSD and their dogs in many of our commercials.” It takes about eight months and costs about $25,000 to train a Freedom Service Dog. Michael said he and Sheri wanted to help the organization with its mission and
decided to cover the entire cost of training a dog this year. “The dog we sponsored was Lola. It was a perfect fit when she was teamed up with Lori,” the Sedalia resident said. “It is so great to see Lola and Lori together, and all the joy and help the dog brings. Words can’t do justice to the feelings we have when we see Lori and Lola together.” Sheri said they like the fact that FSD rescues dogs from shelters so they won’t be put down and instead will be trained to help others. She said she’d like to challenge other companies to sponsor the training of a Freedom Service Dog. “Of course, all rescued dogs aren’t able to complete the FSD training,” she said. “But, when a dog isn’t able to complete training because of things like a love of chasing butterflies or squirrels, Freedom Service Dogs makes sure to find a good home for the animal. As a matter of fact, one of our dogs is Farley, a dog that wasn’t able to complete the FSD training.” Wisconsin resident Kevin Foster and his dog, Brinley, also received Freedom Service Dogs diplomas during the ceremonies “This is a big day for my Brinley and me,” Foster, a Vietnam veteran, said before the ceremony. “I read a book called ‘Until Tuesday’ that talked about how much a service dog could help people like me who suffer with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I signed up with FSD, was on the waiting list and now, almost a year later, Brinley and I are graduating.” “Being with Brinley is calming, and the dog has already kept me from sliding backwards in my mind to those really bad times,” he said. Chuck Flynn, another veteran, had similar comments about what having a Freedom Service Dog named Mader has meant to him. “I was getting treatment for PTSD at the Veterans Administration hospital, and a doctor suggested a service dog might help me,” the southeast Denver resident said. “My big problems are intense flashbacks and nightmares. Since Mader came into my life, she comforts me, helps me keep calm, and the flashbacks and nightmares happen lest frequently. When they do, they are less intense. Mader is truly a blessing to me, and I appreciate all the hard work that went into training her.”

irque Du Soleil will bring its inventive acrobatics, stirring stories and stunning stagecraft to Denver with “Amaluna,” the story of a mysterious island and its inhabitants. Not only does “Amaluna” feature all the artistry Cirque has become famous the world over for, but marks the first time a show had a cast of 70 percent women, and an all-female group of musicians. The show will be under the blue and yellow Big Top on Pepsi Center grounds, 100 Chopper Circle, July 18 through WHAT: Cirque Du Soleil Aug. 25. Ticket costs range from presents “Amaluna” $40 to $130.

The queen, Prospera, is celebrating the all-important coming of age birthday of her daughter, Miranda, when a storm Prospera caused leads to a group of young men landing on the island.

Some would say that Steve Weil, thirdgeneration owner of Rockmount Ranch Wear in LoDo, is one smart cookie when it comes to the Western wear biz. But his business brainiac status was put to the test June 26 when Mensa, the international high IQ society, ordered dozens of hats for its July convention in Fort Worth, Texas. This is not the first time they ordered Rockmount hats, according to Weil, president and grandson of Papa Jack (who was definitely a brainiac but used the term “egghead” liberally). Visit Denver spokesmodel Rich Grant also picked up one of the simple straw chapeaus on Wednesday. “I can’t swear that it’s made me smarter, but it’s the smartest looking hat I’ve ever owned,” Grant said. “I wore it while giving a three-mile walking tour to the visiting Japanese travel writers, and was met everywhere downtown with smiles, and compliments on what a `smart’ looking hat it was. I won’t leave home without it!”
Decker, James tie knot
Hunka-hunka Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker and his equally stunning fiancee and country pop singer Jessie James tied the proverbial knot June 22 in Castle Rock. The bride posted a handful of photos from the celebration on her Instagram account thejessiejames. The ceremony took place at St. Francis of Assisi in Castle Rock followed by the reception at the impressive Castle Cliff Estates, according to Internet reports. The cute couple (I’ve met them and they are cover girl and guy gorgeous) met through a mutual friend and struck up a phone relationship. The newlyweds have jumped on the reality show bandwagon by letting the E! cameras roll to capture their lives and loves on the new show “Love and Other Contact Sports” debuting on E! late summer. The series will “chronicle the sexy young couple’s road to the altar as they juggle careers, relationships, family and more,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. Decker reportedly received permission from Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway before selling his soul to basic cable. “He came in and talked to me about it,” Elway told reporters via www.MaxDenver. com. “I gave it my blessing.”
Photographic memories
Local award-winning photographers Jody and Zach Zorn at Zorn Photography (the folks who just shot James and Decker’s wedding), are launching a donation program to help those affected by the Colorado wildfires rebuild their pictorial histories. Twenty families will be selected at random after submitting an application — including name, email address, phone number, former address in fire region, number of immediate family members and number of pets — and sending it to wildfire@zornphoto.com. Applications will be accepted through Aug. 1 with winners notified by Aug. 15.
“Amaluna” is the first Cirque Du Soleil performance to feature 70 percent female performers and an all-woman band.

Sweet soiree
Enstrom Candies (really, is there anything better than the World Famous Almond Toffee?) celebrated the grand opening of the new Arvada location, 6770 W. 52nd Ave., Suite C (just north of Interstate 70 and east of Wadsworth Boulevard) on June 29. The party included free samples of Enstrom World Famous Almond Toffee, Enstrom Premium Ice Cream, Seattle Roasted Gourmet Coffees, Wi-Fi and indoor and outdoor seating. “We are very excited about the new store,” said Linda Enstrom, Denver area manager. “We can now offer our customers a pleasant environment that is convenient for those quick morning meetings or the quiet pick-me-up coffee break.” The new store is situated just a few doors down from the previous space.

too heavily. That’s when we knew. We have worked extremely hard and for long hours day in and day out since we opened. Frankly, we’re tired and did not want to keep going. Some people have the restaurant business in their blood. We had to admit we did not. This was no longer what we wanted to do with our lives. We listed the restaurant for sale on Craigslist.com. Joe Van Dyke, aka “Jammin’ Joe,” a blues guitarist and restaurateur from Virginia was our first serious response to the ad. Jammin’ Joe has owned and or operated several restaurants in his life. He carved out a pretty good reputation for barbecue back east and wants to do the same in Denver. He liked our restaurant and accepted our price. He plans to open in early July. Thank you everyone who supported us in our endeavor. We appreciated it more than you know. And thanks to our awesome employees. A few are staying on with Joe. May God bless all of you. Shalom, Dina (and Frank)
When former Rocky Mountain News and Nation’s Restaurant News reporter Dina Berta walked away from her career
covering the restaurant industry, she jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire. After a 17-year journalism career, Dina opted to join her husband, Frank, in a new culinary venture — Frank’s Kitchen — at 2600 High St. in Denver’s Whittier neighborhood. Doors opened on May 2011, and closed on June 24. This is what the couple posted on Frank’s Kitchen Diary: Goodbye and thank you. The end happened as quickly as the beginning. Just three years ago Frank was sliding a check across a table to our future landlords and we were in the restaurant business. On Sunday, sitting on the patio of Frank’s Kitchen, the buyer’s accountant was sliding a check over to Frank. It was a down payment to our asking price. And just like that, we closed our restaurant. For all our stunned customers, friends and supporters let me tell you how we got here. I was not lying when you came in and asked how is the business and I said doing well. After about a year and half it was paying for itself. It probably would have turned the corner in the third year, especially if we obtained a liquor license. It was in the pursuit of a beer and wine license that we came to a realization about who we are and the kind of life we wanted to live. The alcohol licensing was going to take six months. We probably weren’t going to be able to serve beer and wine until November. Our lease is up in December. We needed the warm spring and summer months to recoup the investment in the license and product. That meant we would have to sign a new lease, most likely for five years. The thought of another long-term lease made us both sigh, heavily. A little
action, and plot. These range from the teeterboard to juggling and Chinese Pole to uneven bars. Amara Defilippo plays one of the Amazons who protect the island from outsiders, and performs a routine on the uneven bars. “This is my first Cirque show — I do artistic gymnastics, and I saw a Cirque show when I was 13, and wanted to be a part of it,” she said. Defilippo noted that not only is the
first Cirque show to feature as many women as it does, but it’s the first time the uneven bars have been used in a performance. “Amaluna” really is in many ways like a traveling circus, which takes eight days to set up, and three to deconstruct. A total of 65 trucks transport close to 2,000 tons of equipment for the show. All 120 of the cast and crew represent a total of 17 countries, including Australia, Belgium, China, Russia, Spain and
the United States. The set has many features, including an island forest with trees that reach up to the sky. There are 174 branches in 534 sections adding up to 1.05 miles. While there certainly is a lot to look at during the performance, the story is the key that really drives everything forward. “It’s the story of a young girl coming of age,” Defilippo said. “This is a show that won’t disappoint.”

Rocket camp a sure way to have a blast 10, 9, 8, 7 ... Oh, how I remember the excitement of hearing the countdown to a rocket launch. Growing up during the Space Race, I was at an impressionable age, and during the 1960s it seemed like everything exciting was happening at NASA. Spaceships circling the earth, space walks, the first lunar landings followed by the first man on the moon. It was a thrilling time for children to grow up, and we all wanted to participate in whatever way we could. We used launch rockets ourselves. Actually, we kind of used to launch anything and everything we could. We built working model rockets from kits, there were baking soda-and-vinegar-powered rocket toys, and fireworks were legal so we had a bunch of those available from the corner stand that we used to use to liven up the neighborhood. When all else failed, we used to make these sort of cannon things from tin cans that would launch a tennis ball hundreds of feet in the air. It seemed like we were always looking up at something. Well, after the first couple of guys landed on the moon, I guess we won the Space Race. I’m not exactly sure if the
moon was the finish line, but after that, things seemed to simmer down a lot. TV coverage sort of fell off to a 30-second mention on the news (unless an accident happened). I guess we all kind of started taking it for granted that there were still people working on projects and sending rockets to other planets and dropping off RC cars on Mars. Space exploration is still going on and exciting things are still happening, but it’s just not as important as which celebrity is having a baby this week, so it’s just not getting the coverage it used to. But, we do have a lot more spectacular space movies and TV shows than “Lost in Space” used to
be. Fortunately for kids growing up in this day and age, the Golden Community Center has assembled a great group of space and rocket camps. The best one is still coming up. It’s called Rocket Blast and will be running as an afternoon camp 4-6 p.m. Monday-Thursday, July 15-18. This is for ages 6-12. Rocket Blast is actually a “Best Of” camp that will combine the elements of SpaceTime’s space mission and rockets programs. They will be combining the best and most popular elements of their other three programs to give children a real hands-on experience in building and launching rockets and planning space missions. They also will teach children about important past and current space exploration missions. Included will be discussions about the Saturn Cassini Mission, the Pluto New Horizons Mission, and the Mars Curiosity Mission. All of this is developed through the NASA Science Educators Program. The cost of the camp is $60 for residents
and $65 for nonresidents. You can get more information about it b calling the Golden Community Center at 303-384-8100. You can also check out a PDF file of the “Recreate” magazine online and see all the great things they have to offer by going online to www.cityofgolden.net/media/RecreateBrochure.pdf. So, dust off that space helmet, find your ray gun and be prepared for the next other-worldly adventure that your kids will bring home. Just don’t do what my dad did with my first rocket model. He was lighting it with a match instead of an electric launcher and caught the wooden tail fin on fire. That was a little too much excitement when it went up like a flaming arrow and landed on the roof. Please, engineering degree from Mines or not, read the instructions, OK?

TUESDAY/JULY 9 EVOLUTION OF Libya Gaining its independence in the aftermath of World War II, Libya struggled for 42 years under the totalitarian regime of Muammar Qaddafi.

The civil war that resulted in Qaddafi’s death has positioned the country to write a new chapter in its history.

2001 the city has only averaged 0.75 percent residential growth. He said many of the city’s modifications to the ordinance over the years had been geared toward making sure the ordinance did not inadvertently discourage the kinds of developments the city would like to see, including senior housing, affordable housing and “smart growth” multifamily units. Glueck said many of the ordinance modifications were attempts to smooth out the strict annual nature of the ordinance. “Most things in our lives don’t turn off on Dec. 31 and turn on Jan. 1,” Glueck said.

Enjoy distinctive West Woods Golf Course Arvada municipal course has three courses with varied challenges By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com West Woods Golf Course is always a pleasant place to play although it has split personalities. The many regulars who play the Arvada golf course, just five minutes from Interstate 70 and Ward Road, know that every time you play the course, you get something a little different. Not only does the course offer three different nine-hole options, but it sits on a massive acreage on at the edge of the foothills, so a bad shot could somehow find its way onto the green or fairway. However, what may look like a great ball off the tee could end up in a pond, lost out of bounds or in an Arvada resident’s backyard — or in the rough or the bunker. “Every time you play here, each round brings something a little different,” West Woods assistant golf course manager Scott Weyer said. “Not only do we have 27 holes but each nine is distinctly different.” West Woods, a Richard M. Phelpsdesigned course, opened in 1994 with 18 holes, with the front nine dubbed the Sleeping Indian and the back nine the Cottonwood. In 1998, Rick Phelps, Richard’s son, designed West Woods’ third nine-hole course, the Silo. The Sleeping Indian is a pretty traditional nine-hole course. It’s wide open and will allow golfers to spray the ball left or right, but offers a chance to score and save pars. The Cottonwood plays a little tighter. With narrower fairways and trees everywhere, golfers can find trouble on the Cot-
tonwood, and pars can quickly turn into bogeys. The Silo is even narrower than the Cottonwood, and it is the shortest of the three nine-hole courses. It is a true shotmaker’s course for those using their A-game. “You can play the course long from the tips or play it short if you are not a long ball hitter, so this not a course just for lowerhandicap players. Anyone can play here,” staff member Chad Duran said. As golfers approach the No. 1 tee box at West Woods Golf Course, they can look directly west at the mountains to see an outline of the Sleeping Indian on the mountain. The course’s signature hole is considered No. 23, the fifth hole on Silo. It’s a 493-yard, par 5 that is severely uphill and has a large silo, left from the area’s ranching days. “When you play West Woods, you feel like you’re playing a course that is not your average municipal. The view of the Sleeping Indian is amazing, the course is always in great shape and it’s affordable,” West Woods regular Rick Simms said. West Woods is also on the verge of celebrating its 20th anniversary. For the 10th anniversary, the course offered free golf to patrons, who were only asked to pay for their card. The course gave away nearly 600 rounds of free golf that year. For this anniversary, they plan to offer something similar. “We, as the staff, can all do a good job running and maintaining the course, but the people who come is what makes playing here such an enjoyable experience; we have great people,” Weyer said. West Woods is also known for having some of the best practice facilities around. Besides a massive driving range with 30 grass stations, the course features putting and chipping greens that are in as good condition as greens on the course. In addition, West Woods has made an ef-

Hansburg new Mines’ director of athletics Accomplished New York native becomes fifth Mines’ AD By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com David Hansburg was named Colorado School of Mines fifth full-time director of athletics, the school announced Friday. After a nationwide search, school President Bill Scoggins appointed Hansburg to lead a very proud Mines’ athletic program. Hansburg will begin his duties at Mines on Aug. 1 replacing Marv Kay, who has served as interim director. “I am honored to become a part of the Colorado School of Mines,” Hansburg said. “I believe it is the top school in Colorado academically, with outstanding athletics programs at every level — intercollegiate, intramural, recreational and club sports. Mines’ commitment to its student athletes and coaches is second to none, and I look forward to carrying on that tradition.” Hansburg, a native of Roslyn, N.Y., comes to Mines from the Alexander Dawson School in Lafayette, where he served as director of athletics. He previously served as the associate athletic director for football operations and summer camps for the University of Colorado in Boulder. There he was a member of the athletics leadership team and participated in a variety of committees. “We’re excited to welcome David to Mines. His leadership of athletics operations and administration at both the college and college-prep levels illustrates his incredible dedication to student athletes. The combination of David’s energy and fresh ideas with the commitment and deep knowledge of Mines’ coaching staff will take us to new heights,” Scoggins said.
Track stars honored for academics
Mines’ Russell Drummond and Phil Schneider were named to the 2013 Capital One Academic All-America Division II Men’s Track/Cross Country Team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America. Drummond, a senior civil engineering major with a 3.77 GPA, was one of two student-athletes to repeat as First Team selections. Schneider earned Third Team accords with a 3.46 GPA in chemical and biological engineering. The 2012 RMAC Men’s Cross Country Academic Runner of the Year and 2012-13 RMAC Men’s Indoor Track and Field Academic Athlete of the Year, Drummond capped his decorated career as runner-up and All-American in the 1500 at the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships. A three-time All-American in the event — he finished fourth in 2011 and 2012 — Drummond ranks third at Mines with nine collegiate All-American accords (cross country/ track and field), including three in 2013 after placing fifth

Mines head football coach Bob Stitt has announced the addition of an 11th game to his team’s 2013 schedule. The Orediggers will now welcome perennial power CarsonNewman to Campbell Field on Sept. 14, in the inaugural Boulder Broker Classic. Carson-Newman, a South Atlantic Conference member located in Jefferson City, Tenn., will be in its 34th season under coach Ken Sparks, who is one of just 11 coaches in the history of college football to record 300 or more victories. “I’m very excited about our football program having the opportunity to compete against Division II power CarsonNewman and legendary coach Ken Sparks,” Stitt said. “This marquee matchup will bring an excitement to Campbell Field and the City of Golden that we haven’t experienced in quite a while.”
