Woodturning artist spins magic Ron Ferreira to appear with works at Parker’s annual Art in the Park By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com The notion that his art might one day become an heirloom, passed down through a family he’ll never meet, motivates Ron Ferreira to achieve perfection. Though he descends from a line of stone masons, Ferreira’s chosen medium is woodturning. It’s a practice that requires skill with tools and dyes and, of course, his hands. Retired from commercial construction, Ferreira joined a woodworking club in 2000 and started out on typical projects, but was soon intrigued by the idea of carving out a bowl. His pieces gradually became more intricate, and after handing out finished platters, candlestick holders and serving bowls to surprised friends and neighbors, Ferreira decided to start a business, known simply as “Woodturnings by Ron.” He revealed his talents to the public during his first show last year, but left with a slight feeling of dis-

The price of his artwork ranges from $50 to $500 for the more

elaborate creations. In a distinct Rhode Island accent, Ferreira talks excitedly about experimenting with grain patterns and carefully applying iridescent dyes and choosing the right chunk of wood with which to start. Many of his pieces are made from fruit trees, some knocked down by a hurricane and others removed because they were too close Magic continues on Page 20

Gov. Hickenlooper and Polis reach deal — task force created By Vic Vela

U.S. Rep. Jared Polis discusses the details of a deal reached Aug. 4 with Gov. John Hickenlooper concerning fracking and local control initiatives. Photo by Vic Vela The task force is part of a deal that the two Democrats reached in the days leading up to the announcement that will also end efforts by Polis to

place two anti-fracking ballot initiatives on the November ballot. Later in the day, pro-fracking groups said they too will

drop their own ballot initiative efforts, suddenly ending what was gearing up to be a ballot box fight that was expected to be costly — both in terms of campaign advertising dollars and potentially in political price for other candidates seeking office this fall. The Polis-backed initiatives sought to increase setback requirements for wells and would have also given communities greater control over oil and gas drilling operations. Pro-fracking groups had sought initiatives that could have had economic impacts on communities that ban fracking — the process by

Douglas County School District staff proposed a way to fix the district’s aging buildings without raising taxes, but the school board recently decided not to put the question on November’s ballot. Board members unanimously adopted the resolution not to participate in the fall election, citing concerns with the state’s school funding formula, which they believe already puts an unfair burden on Douglas County taxpayers. But a member of DCSD’s fiscal oversight committee said other factors are at play. “I think there are bigger issues the board is facing they need to resolve,” Dave Usechek said. “There is no doubt in my mind there’s a need (for capital funding). But until there is positive support for the board, and no longer this bickering between parents and the board, I am not willing to support giving additional funds. Both sides need to resolve their differences and start working together for the best interests of kids.” The board’s July 15 resolution said the

Voters will not be weighing in on hydraulic fracturing this November after all. Gov. John Hickenlooper and U.S. Rep. Jared Polis announced an 11th hour deal on Aug. 4 to create a special task force to address issues surrounding fracking — the very day that signatures to put fracking on the November ballot were due for submission to the Secretary of State’s Office.

Parker Town Council granted nearly $550,000 in tax breaks to three new businesses that will increase the size of the local labor force. Council approved tax incentive packages July 21 for Culver’s restaurant, Great-West Life and Annuity Insurance, and the Parker Garage, all three of which will bring jobs to Parker. Culver’s, a Wisconsinbased fast-casual restaurant chain that’s wildly popular in the Midwest, Waid plans to open its 10th Colorado location on the northeast corner of Mainstreet and Twenty Mile Road in spring 2015. They were approved for a sales-tax shareback and building permit fee rebate agreement worth $97,500 over a three-year term. The 3,750-square-foot restaurant represents a future investment of approximately $1 million and will add as many as 50 new jobs, according to the agreement. Although Great-West Life and Annuity Insurance submitted a site plan for a 23-acre campus near Lincoln Avenue

‘Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can’ Stuff. Most of us have lots of it. Cristin Bleess and her husband, Adrian Horner, did. But by the time March 13 rolls around, the day they leave for Albania with the Peace Corps, their possessions will amount to this: • An antique pie cupboard refinished by Adrian’s mother and given to them as a wedding gift • A coffee table made from the window of Cristin’s grandparents’ Minnesota farmhouse • A cedar hope chest that belonged to Cristin’s aunt filled with items such as a childhood photo album and a few framed photographs • Two filing drawers of tax returns, Social Security information and other documents • Camping and backpacking gear • A couple of bicycles • Two suitcases each of clothing “It’s amazing how much stuff you have that really isn’t sentimental or even used or even appreciated,” Adrian said as he considered what they have let go. “The thrill of discovery is almost better than the thrill of having.” The journey to de-stuff began late last fall when Cristin, 41, a Spanish teacher, and Adrian, 38, a software tester, decided to change the course of their lives. “We just wanted a new adventure,” Cristin said. They contacted a Realtor with the intention of putting their three-bedroom home on the market in January, met with a financial adviser and, after exploring options, decided to apply to the Peace Corps, which requires a 27-month commitment. Meanwhile, they began deconstructing their belongings, much of it unique, original folk art collected from countries they’d visited in Latin America or antiques with personal connections or collections of one-time passions that reflected eras of their lives. “Our stuff wasn’t stuff you can buy at Pier 1 or Target,” Cristin said. “It’s stuff we had both collected through travels or through family or through interests. We

thought about it a lot.” They checked into storage costs — $200 a month. Too expensive. They considered disposing of some, keeping some. But the storage cost issue remained, and family didn’t have enough space to offer. Then Cristin saw this Facebook post: “Collect memories, not things.” And that was it. She said to Adrian: “Let’s just get rid of it all.” They began in the basement, with holiday decorations and unopened boxes that had followed Adrian and Cristin from place to place. High school yearbooks. Adrian’s ACT scores. The 1,500 to 2,000 comic books of “Fantastic Four,” “Avengers,” “X-Men” and others that Adrian had collected in elementary and middle school. The military memorabilia collection that started with Adrian’s grandfather’s WWII medals and included a Civil War bayonet and a WWI helmet. Cristin’s beloved sticker collection, which she began in ﬁfth grade and continued for several years, building it into what she called the best collection, even organized by categories such as teddy bears, unicorns and hearts. It all easily sold through postings on social media garage-sale sites or consignment to niche stores. “I took my grandfather’s insignia out and sold all of it,” Adrian, a college history major, said of the military collection. “It went from a big box to a couple of medals.” Cristin became Facebook friends with the woman who bought her sticker collec-

tion, one of the possessions to which she was most attached. “It’s probably the first thing I ever was passionate about and that I did on my own,” she said. “I spent my own money on it and took care of it and was invested in it. Like I said, it was the best collection.” Next came the kitchen. Dishes. Pans. The box of cake-making utensils given to Cristin by her mom, a baker of wedding cakes. Books — avid readers, they donated boxes of books to the local library. Clothing. For staging purposes, closets should look empty to help sell the house, Adrian said. So “we got ruthless with our clothing.” “You have so many clothes you never wear,” Cristin added. “As a dual-income, no-kids couple, you just accumulate stuff and you don’t always think before you buy it…” They took three to four lawn-size trash bags of clothing to five different consignment stores from Castle Rock to Boulder, the rest to Goodwill. On Jan. 1, they listed their home and moved in with Adrian’s mother. They also moved some furniture to her basement and all the folk art. Adrian’s mother took the two-and-ahalf-foot tall, colorful, ceramic church, a thrill-of-discovery find by renowned Mexican potter Candelario Medrano chanced upon on the floor of a Santa Fe gallery, and a metal red heart that “spoke” to Cristin in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. Except for four other pieces, they delivered all to a consignment store near Tucson. The ones they held back include a smaller Medrano church, and a fruit bowl and clay figurines of a couple on a park bench made by the Mexican artist Josefina Aguilar, whom Cristin met on the same trip during which she met Adrian. “I wanted to take them with the other stuff to Arizona,” Cristin said, “but Adrian wanted to think about it more.” “I probably fought harder on keeping things in the folk art collection,” Adrian said. “I have a lot of fond memories of the things we’d done together, and the stuff in

the house reminded me of that. I recognized the fact I couldn’t just go to WalMart and buy them again.” Travel has played a meaningful role in their lives and relationship. A high school trip to Mexico ignited Cristin’s passion for Spanish, which became her career. An acclaimed teacher, she taught the language for 18 years until the school year ended in May. She was traveling throughout Mexico in July 2003 when she met Adrian at a hostel in Oaxaca. He was three months into an 18-month bike trip he started in California and ended in Argentina. Until his return to the Denver area, they communicated through emails. Then, they visited between Denver and Minneapolis, where Cristin was teaching at the time, until she moved here in 2005. They married two years later and have journeyed together through 13 states and four countries. The anticipation is building for Albania, which is unlike any place they’ve been. “It’s that thrill, the excitement,” Adrian said. “I think that’s why we both love to travel — we don’t know what we’re going to get.” When the house sold in March, they moved most of the furniture to the basement of Adrian’s mother’s home and put it on Craigslist. Eventually, it all went. The red couch with the two chairs, one green, one a patchwork of colors, and a geometric-design rug. The queen bed, full bed and twin bed. The dining room table and chairs. Bookshelves. The antique wardrobe and dresser. Lamps. Patio furniture. The antique washstand. Cristin delivered the dresser her uncle made in his high school shop class to her second cousin in Loveland. Adrian also sold the ‘93 black Geotracker he had started driving his junior year in high school. The ﬁnal piece of furniture, a TV cabinet, sold three weeks ago. Healey continues on Page 9

Third-party candidate works to sway voters Williams challenges for seat in HD-44 By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Lily Tang Williams has some very personal reasons for running as a Libertarian in her election bid for state House District 44. Williams, a Chinese immigrant who moved to the U.S. in 1988 for graduate studies, said she hopes to bring change to the House seat, which has long been held by Republicans. It is currently occupied by Chris Holbert, who is termlimited and is now running for Senate District 30. For the first 23 years of her life, Williams said, she and her family were oppressed by the regime of Mao Zedong, the longtime chairman of China’s Communist Party. This upbringing had a profound influence on her decision to enter the political realm. “We were very poor and, of course, we were very brainwashed,” said Williams, who was raised in

the mountainous Sichuan province, which she calls the “wild west” of China. Williams, of Parker, says the level of government corruption and fear-inducing oversight she witnessed during her youth was a motivating factor in making sure the same does not happen to Williams her adoptive home country. Her mother and father did not receive a proper education, but they made sure that their daughter exercised her intelligence and had opportunities. Williams studied hard and graduated from a top-five law school in China before pursuing her master’s degree. She has since worked in corporate law, telecommunications and real estate, but wants her next career to have an impact on the future. In a wide-ranging interview July 24 that covered topics from Second

Amendment rights to the legalization of marijuana (she’s for both), Williams said she believes America’s two major parties have run the country into the ground via “crony capitalism.” A former Republican who has had friends in both major parties, Williams said she saw enough to drive her to become a Libertarian, although she knows it’s an uphill battle in a historically conservative district. “I have been fighting for liberty all my life,” said Williams, who supports personal freedoms and smart deregulation. “Winning or not, I’m going to vote for my principles.” Of the 223,000 registered voters in Douglas County, nearly one-third identify as independent or “other,” according to the county elections office. It’s those people Williams is hoping to convince. “Some people are still conflicted and some are totally party-line people. It’s sad, but it’s a reality,” she said. “My goal is long-term, so people who can’t support me today, I won’t push them.”

Horse park for sale, owner set to retire Founder wants to focus on family, immigration reform By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com For someone who has done so much for the Douglas County community, Helen Krieble certainly has a lot of humility. Krieble, the founder and president of the Colorado Horse Park, has decided to sell the world-class equestrian venue south of Parker and is searching for a “likeminded” buyer with an interest in keeping the horse park open. “A lot of people have put their life blood into creating (the venue), and to turn it into a housing development would be a tragedy,” Krieble said, referring to offers that have already come in. The facility opened in 1990 as High Prairie Farms. Krieble took over in 2002 and doubled the number of stables and arenas. Colorado Horse Park has hosted numerous international competitions, and last season was particularly successful in terms of attendance and performances from elite riders. Krieble, 71, is ready to pursue other endeavors. “It’s very sad that I have to leave, but there comes a time when you can’t continue,” she said. “I’m very proud of what we did. We accomplished something very wonderful, and last year truly was our best year, so it’s a nice way to go out.” Krieble plans to step down Jan. 1 to put a greater focus on her work in immigration reform on behalf of a public policy foundation named for her late husband, Vernon. She will continue delivering speeches on the topic and plans to embark on a nationwide campaign to establish a “sensible program” to secure the nation’s borders, she said. Krieble noted that she has split her time between the horse park and her political

activities, but no longer has any desire to work two full-time jobs. She will instead move back to Connecticut, where she grew up, to spend time with her family, including 10 grandchildren. Looking back, Krieble takes immense pride in her years of community involvement, and said she is thankful that the community has in turn reciprocated the gesture by supporting the horse park. She was “flabbergasted” when the Parker Chamber of Commerce chose her as its Cornerstone Award winner in 2012. In typical fashion, Krieble deflected any accolades, insisting that the selection committee “could Krieble have found somebody better,” but she nonetheless characterized the honor as “a wonderful thing.” When asked whether she might stay on in some capacity if the horse park is kept open, Krieble said she would “love to play a role, but not a big one.” “The new owner will have their own ideas,” she said. “I’m old-fashioned. I think it needs a fresh look. They don’t need an old lady’s point of view.” Although there would be no requirement for the new owner to keep the venue operating, Krieble said it’s important to preserve the county’s equestrian roots. She is even willing to lower the price tag if a horse enthusiast takes over. “The history and the heritage in Douglas County has always been associated with the horse and to close this major equestrian facility that keeps that alive would be a tragedy,” said Krieble, who noted that the county had more horses per capita than any other in the nation when she bought the 150-acre park. The facility was put up for sale in 2009 for $11.5 million. The current asking price is unknown.

Carbon-regulation debate hits Denver Opponents of proposed rules fear fiscal impact By Vic Vela

vvela@colorado communitymedia.com A national debate over proposed new clean-air rules swept through Denver last week, resulting in a values clash of job security and environmental protection that attracted visitors from the around the country. Denver was one of four cities chosen by the Environmental Protection Agency to hold hearings July 28 and 29 on proposed power plant regulations that are aimed at combating global warming. The two-day hearings were held inside the EPA’s Region 8 office in lower downtown Denver. Through implementation of the agency’s new plan, President Obama’s administration has stated it hopes to cut carbon-dioxide emissions by 30 percent over the next 16 years. Supporters view the rules as a necessary step toward addressing the impact of global warming. “This is the issue of our time,” said Chris Arend of Conservation Colorado. “If we don’t take action we’re going to see a much different Colorado in ways we don’t really know.” At the same time the confer-

ence was being held, several opponents of the proposed rules rallied in Denver’s Lincoln Park on July 29 to denounce the regulations. Many were coal advocates who said the EPA regulations would kill jobs and cause energy prices to skyrocket in an already heavily regulated industry. “This is the way I make my living,” said Bill Jones of Craig, a mechanic at a coal mine. “We have a hard enough time as a society with energy costs as it is anyway and I don’t want to see prices go up — and I’m trying to protect my job.” Colorado is one of the top coal-producing states in the country. However, coal production has dropped over the years along with demand. Still, miners like John Simonet, also of Craig, say their communities depend on the industry and that increased regulations would only hurt them more. “If this goes through, unfortunately everyone will probably have to go elsewhere to find work and probably even, worst-case scenario, create another ghost town in our neck of the woods,” Simonet said. The EPA considers the greenhouse gas that emits from power plants to be the country’s largest source of carbon pollution. The organization says the pollution is a significant contributor to global

warming and can have long-term impacts on the environment and public health, as supporters of the regulations tried to convey over two days of testimony here and in Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Washington. State Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, who is the chairman of the House Transportation and Energy Committee, testified on behalf of the regulations July 29. He said afterward that any industry job loss would pale in comparison to the economic impact that would continue to occur if climate change isn’t taken more seriously. “As we change the climate, there’s going to be millions of jobs that disappear,” said Tyler. “There’s no comparison at all between what’s going to happen in the next 30 years and the fact that the coal industry has to change.” Tyler and Arend said that Colorado has already taken the lead nationally in stemming carbon emissions. They point to recent legislation that has increased renewable energy mandates on utility companies and rural electric cooperatives, as well as other state regulations that promote natural gas and that have helped to clean up coal plants. States would have leeway in how they implement the administration’s rules. Because of that, Arend said he doesn’t see much of a job impact at coal plants be-

The rally served as a protest to new air-quality rules that are being proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency. Photo by Vic Vela cause Colorado has already put in place strong regulations. “In Colorado, we’ve taken a lot of steps and we’re well on our way to meeting what the EPA is asking us to do,” he said. “If Colorado doesn’t have to do a whole lot more, I don’t see how that can impact those jobs.” But Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez doesn’t buy that argument. He said prior to speaking at the Lincoln Park rally that energy industry regulations are already having an adverse impact and that adding more rules is an “ill conceived” policy direction on the part of the Obama administration. “All of us want clean air and

ADATTO Custom Menswear Launch Party On Wednesday, July 23, Adatto Custom Menswear hosted a launch party with the South Metro Denver Chamber. Several hundred people attended the event. The company greeted attendees with small plates and specialty cocktails from the event’s host location Session Kitchen, and a specially constructed “Swag Bag” for all

attendees provided by Modern Gladiator Magazine. Several drawings for customs shirts and suits were also held, and free fittings were available. Adatto employees modeled the company’s various custom menswear offerings. “Awesome launch, excellent products and employees,” said Todd McIntyre, owner of National ComTel and South Metro Denver Chamber member.

Adatto is custom menswear company that sells custom suits with a focus on reflecting each customer’s personal style. The company feels that “The right suit makes every man feel confident, attractive, and successful. And the right suit is a custom suit — tailored to fit and designed with the individual in mind.” Clients can choose the fit and fabric of each suit, blazer, pant or shirt, in order to reflect their personality.

clean water,” Beauprez said. “The people that are closest to the industry ought to be concerned about negative impacts more than anybody, and they’re the ones here saying, `Let us keep our jobs.’ We have never done energy cleaner, safer, more efficient in the history of mankind. That’s something we ought to celebrate, not punish.” But supporters of regulations say complacency is not an option. “There is absolutely no doubt that humans are destroying the climate that allows us to have an economy at all,” Tyler said. “There is no doubt at all that humans are causing serious climate disruption. It’s as certain as gravity.”

Adatto trained Style Consultants work with clients by providing appointments at the client’s home or office to take necessary measurements, provide samples, and ultimately oversee the design of each 100% custom, handcrafted suit, shirt, pant, or jacket. Fittings are scheduled online; the company does not utilize a storefront.

Cops say man drove drunk on three wheels Parker resident taken to hospital, then jail By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Jodi Arcese was stopped at the traffic light at South Parker Road and Orchard Road when she heard a strange noise. The Parker resident was returning from dinner July 19 with her daughter and her daughter’s friend. Arcese turned down the radio and the sound grew louder, like it was getting closer. Then she looked in her rearview mirror. “All I see is this truck coming from behind me like a bat out of hell on fire,” she said. A red Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup was barreling down the road at a high rate of speed — on three wheels. The exposed right front axle scraped

the concrete and threw sparks into the air, and the truck swerved across the roadway as the driver tried to maintain control. The front passenger side was partially missing. A separate vehicle was driving behind the truck with its hazard lights flashing, trying to keep pace, Arcese said. She began following at a safe distance while the truck continued south on Parker Road, running red lights. “I was thinking he must have stolen this truck because no one in their right mind would do this to their own vehicle,” Arcese said. She lost sight of the Chevrolet near the Arapahoe-Douglas county line, but soon came upon a small grass fire in a field behind the vacant King Soopers building in Cottonwood. Arcese said she was afraid the truck was going to hit another vehicle and was surprised that no police cars were following. She eventually saw a Parker police patrol car turn onto Longs Way, and she followed. Arcese pulled into the RTD park-n-Ride

lot, where she saw a man walking away from the truck. An officer, who reported seeing fluid leaking from the vehicle and heavy smoke coming from the missing tire area, was approaching the man, later identified as Kurt Koniceck, 35, of Parker. “I spoke with Kurt and asked him what had happened to his vehicle, and he shrugged his shoulders,” the Parker officer wrote in an incident report. “Kurt also shrugged his shoulders when I asked where he was coming from.” When asked how Koniceck much he had to drink prior to driving, Koniceck allegedly said “too much,” but denied being behind the wheel. The officer said he observed signs of intoxication, including bloodshot eyes and the smell of alcohol. Koniceck declined to perform roadside sobriety maneuvers and refused a chemical blood test. He was arrested and taken to the hospital after com-

plaining of chest and rib pain, the police report said. Koniceck was later booked into the Douglas County Detention Center in Castle Rock, where an officer overheard Koniceck allegedly say, “I’m sorry guys. I really (messed) up tonight.” He faces charges of careless driving and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Numerous witnesses called 9-1-1 when they saw the truck driving erratically. One man who arrived at the scene said he made a video recording of the melee and saw the truck hit a guardrail near Interstate 25 and Hampden Avenue. The arresting officer later learned that debris from an accident was found near Interstate 25 and I-225, but no vehicle was located. Arcese returned to the field near King Soopers and saw several police and fire personnel trying to extinguish the brush fire, which had grown to a size of 10 feet by 3 feet, the report said. She said she was amazed no one got injured throughout the ordeal.

Missing teen found; man facing charges Oklahoma resident could receive life in prison By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com

An Oklahoma City man could face life in prison if convicted on a charge of taking a 13-year-old Douglas County girl to Oklahoma with the intention of engaging in illicit sexual conduct with her. Mark Sumpter, 43, was arrested July 17 in Oklahoma City on the charge of transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, according to a news release

issued by the U.S. Department of Justice. Sumpter’s case is being heard in federal court in Oklahoma City. According to court documents, the Oklahoma City police notified the FBI “that they had recovered an endangered 13-year-old runaway girl” on June 27 from an apartment in the city. The documents state that the parents of the 13-year-old girl filed a missing persons report with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office on June 21. The DCSO reportedly conducted an investigation of the girl’s social media accounts, which led law enforcement to the Oklahoma City apartment by obtaining Internet subscriber in-

formation for the IP address. A c cording to the docum e n t s , Sumpter Sumpter and the girl first had contact with each other in November 2013, and “developed an online

relationship … that turned sexual” via the Internetbased messaging, video and chat sites of Kik, chathour.com and Skype. Sumpter allegedly told his roommate that the girl was his daughter, and convinced him to drive him to Colorado to pick her up, according to court documents. The men reportedly

picked her up at a location within walking distance of her home, “drove immediately back to Oklahoma” and stayed at the Oklahoma City apartment from June 21 through June 27. Sumpter is being held without bond. He appeared before a U.S. magistrate in Oklahoma City on July 18 for preliminary proceed-

ings. A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, West District in Oklahoma, stated that Sumpter will next appear after the prosecution presents an indictment to a federal grand jury. Sumpter may accrue additional charges, the spokesperson said.

Life is a conveyor belt toward final checkout Pat Bowlen has Alzheimer’s. There is no known cure. It is very difficult to watch a life in descent. By now, most of us have probably been through it — or we are going through it right now. My dear friend Ruth, 96, thought we were married. My aunt thought I was my cousin Linn. I left Michigan on a Tuesday, I was in Highlands Ranch on Wednesday, and I was back in Michigan on Thursday. My mother didn’t know I had left, and I was staying with her. My father couldn’t eat, drink, walk or talk. It was nearly impossible for my sister and me to watch. He was in the hospital for the final eight months of his life. It was unfair. Our mother was in her kitchen one day, in a hospice the next, and gone a few days after that, but our father took his time. I guess it has been known for some time that Bowlen was experiencing short-term memory loss and other signs of Alzheimer’s, but most of us didn’t find out until July 23. The story dominated the Post, to the extent that there was no editorial page. Amy Van Dyken was told to say her good-byes. After her recent ATV accident in Show Low, Ariz., she was told to say good-bye to her husband. She said goodbye, but she wasn’t going anywhere. It is one of the best stories of 2014. There have been a lot of lousy stories this year, but when I get down on them, I

check in on Amy. She is going to compete in a 26.2-mile marathon in her purple wheelchair with her brother by her side. I am certain that Amy will be more active than I am, even though she is paralyzed from the waist down, and I am fully ambulatory. It’s likely that years of athletic discipline prevented the accident’s outcome from being worse than it was. Respecting life means something to me. And respecting death does too. They don’t seem to care in some parts of the world. In my least favorite part of the world, the Middle East, you get a number, not a name. It doesn’t seem to matter if you are a mother or a father or a child. It doesn’t seem to matter if you are praying at the time, reading a good book or learning how to play the violin. There will be a bomb. And the total that day will be on the news. The number of innocents who were killed. There are never any names. But here we name every single one.

Turn to teamwork for better outcome While I was facilitating a team meeting recently, the people in the room had an “aha” moment that will change the course and culture of the company and also accelerate their success. It wasn’t anything so profound, it was simply just a realization that they could accomplish more as a team than they ever could possibly do as individuals. Another one of those common-sense things that are not always common practice. This was a group of high-achieving and high-performing individuals. And since they were seen as the superstars of the company, they behaved in the same way. Egos were getting in the way of taking the team and the company to a higher level. I reminded them that even in the All Star games of professional sports, the players at the pinnacle of their game come together for one game and play for a common cause … a win. This is not an uncommon situation, and as a matter of fact, I find it to be true with small businesses and large companies alike. I see it in associations and organizations of all kinds. And I have witnessed it with families and in churches. You see, we can all benefit from finding the resources and people in our lives that can help us achieve success. Even the

I read the obituaries. I don’t know any of them, but I want to find out whatever I can. I wrote my father’s obituary, knowing that nobody knew him. I thought maybe there was someone like me who would read it with an oblique interest, and realize that he was a good man. I am 66 and some of my friends have died, and some of their mothers and fathers have died. That’s what happens when you get older. Death is no longer somewhere way out there. It’s in the next email. It’s in the next phone call. My mother and father died within three months of each other. There is an almost unexplainable emptiness that goes along with the deaths of both a mother and a father. Now what? My sister and I carry the family history. I carry most of it in my memory. I have a few photographs and a few videos, and that’s all. There is no presence. Death starts knocking when we are young. It may be a pet. I saw a dried-up lizard when I was 5 or 6, and didn’t understand what I was looking at. I do now.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR More than one `right’ answer

individual who struggles through difficult times or fights their way through incredible opportunities presented to them could benefit so much by leveraging the people in their lives that could absolutely lend a hand, give advice, or just listen to the ideas and goals. Here’s the thing, sometimes some of us worry so much about perception that we are afraid to engage others for the fear of feeling like we are not smart enough or strong enough to handle the situation or opportunity on our own. So in the face of feeling embarrassed, we go it alone. If we would only learn to lean on our families, friends, and/or other people we already know or could be introduced to, we can truly accelerate our successes in life. Take the time to think about an event Norton continues on Page 9

The slogan “red, right and blue” has everything to do with the reason our government can’t get anything done. The implication is that there is only one “right” answer, opinion or way to be. What happened to the diversity that founded this nation? What rights are being protected by the proponents of this position? They claim they stand behind the rights this country was founded on — the right to have our own opinions and to celebrate our differences — but those are the exact rights they seem to be trying to squelch. It is this expectation that there is only one “right” way that keeps our government from getting anything done. It cannot govern without the foundational skill of negotiation. It is, after all, intended (and invented) to be a government by the people for the people. We (the people) are not a homogenous, single-minded unit. We are, thankfully, diverse. Thus the need (and brilliance) of checks and balances built into our government process. If they think they can avoid negotiating, they are dreaming. And it’s a nightmare. Bev Johnson Castle Rock

Bill will help close ‘skills gap’ At a time when federal dollars are stretched thin, we need to shift to models that pay for outcomes, rather than paying for services that may or may not be working. This is the type of approach that can and should apply to a range of government services. It’s also the type of approach Republican Sen. Rob Portman and I took when crafting the recently passed Pay-for-Success Act — which works to make federal job training programs more effective and responsive to what employers want. When I meet with business owners from all across the state, from the Western Slope to the San Luis Valley, from large manufacturers to small information technology companies, there is one thing that they have in common: a challenge finding workers with skills that match their business needs. At Western Slope Industries in Grand Junction they stressed how difficult it was to find employees with the proper training. Diversified Machine Systems in

“I felt like a weight was being lifted every time something went out the door,” Cristin said. “I felt lighter. … It was not even about the money. We haven’t gotten rich — we’ve lost money. It just feels good — freeing.” Adrian agreed. “It feels like you have a lot of choices — you’re not weighted down by all the possessions.” They might have thought differently about the downsizing if they had children. But their belongings, they say, don’t hold the same sentimental value to nieces and nephews. And being unencumbered by things, they say, gives them a freedom to pursue new passions wherever they take them. “Whatever,” Adrian said, “we want to do.”

Colorado Springs is rapidly expanding with high customer demand, yet they are not able to hire qualified employees fast enough. In Loveland, Leed Fabrication’s need is so great, they had to build their own training facility. It’s not that there aren’t enough workers, it’s that they aren’t trained in the fields that are hiring. This problem, commonly referred to as the “skills gap,” is driving unemployment and stifling economic growth in Colorado and across the nation. A 2011 report found that 74 percent of manufacturers are experiencing work-

force shortages or skills deficiencies that are significantly hindering their ability to expand operations and improve productivity. They aren’t alone. Employers across the country — particularly in the information-technology sector and throughout other high-growth industries in this economy — are facing a lack of skilled workers, even as tens of thousands of Coloradans continue to look for work. The Pay-for-Success Act creates a new model for workforce development that helps address this problem and close the skills gap by improving federal job training programs. State and local workforce boards will now have the flexibility to enter into contracts with job-training providers who will be reimbursed for their services only if they deliver on agreedupon outcomes. For instance, a Colorado job-training provider tasked with training a certain number of workers to fill high-need positions in a specific region or a rapidly growing industry would not be paid if the

In Colorado, roughly 10 percent of core federal job-training funds, or $3.24 million, will be available for workforce boards to steer toward these innovative types of “Pay-for Success” contracts. This will help state and local workforce boards better serve the roughly 9,000 Coloradans who use their services to gain new skills to get back to work. The Pay-for-Success Act is the type of model that promotes innovation by rewarding results and penalizing complacency. This common-sense reform ensures that job training programs are more responsive to the needs of employers and are preparing more workers for a 21st-century economy.

Helpers honored for heroic actions South Metro Fire honors citizens who stepped up to help out in times of need By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com When a bystander steps in to save a life, victim and rescuer are usually complete strangers. Yet it turns out that Bob Marlin knew those who rushed to his aid on the first tee box at The Meadows Golf Club in south Jefferson County. In fact, he had trained them to use the automated external defibrillator that brought his heart back to a normal rhythm. Marlin, believe it or not, had been a driving force behind the installation of that very AED when he worked for the West Metro Fire Protection District — the department that serves the golf course. Marlin is now with neighboring South Metro Fire Rescue, the agency that presented a lifesaving award to the employees of The Meadows and West Metro responders during a standing-room-only ceremony July 28 at the authority’s headquarters in Centennial. His daughter, Cameron Marlin, made it a point to attend the awards ceremony, where she delivered an appreciative hug to each of the people who made sure her father survived his scare. “It’s nice to meet them outside of a hospital setting,” she said. Coincidentally, Marlin also knew the doctor who was standing over him when he awoke at the hospital. He greeted the doc enthusiastically until Marlin realized why he was there. The recognition for Marlin’s rescuers was far from the only feel-good moment of the night. The other heroes recognized during South Metro Fire Rescue’s annual citizen awards event were each met with thunderous applause for their actions. Fire Chief Dan Qualman said they each went “over and above what’s reasonably expected.” That includes Castle Rock resident Brian Lindeman, a trained EMT who works for Lockheed Mar-

Other citizen award recipients include: • Kate Jureller, Kate Tillman and Mike Staheli, who all stepped in to save Parker resident Art Cales, 51, when he went into sudden cardiac arrest at Lifetime Fitness in January. • Robert Rinne, a South Metro firefighter who was off duty when he administered CPR on a woman who was eating at Maggiano’s. He also cleared her obstructed airway before medics arrived. • Joseph W. Ratcliff II, Bryan Schoff, Deborah Hall, David Tegtmeyer and Chris Sharp, who helped residents escape a burning apartment building in Centennial when the stairwell leading outside was blocked by flames. They pitched in by putting mattresses in the bed of a pickup truck so residents on higher floors could jump safely. • Joseph Sprague, Jackson Bishop and Troy Seim, who attempted to save a Castle Pines boy who was run over in June by a vehicle he had been playing in. Qualman said not every attempt to save a life has a happy ending, but he noted that the men gave paramedics a fighting chance when there otherwise would not have been one. • Mike Keefover, who administered CPR and used an AED to save a man who went into cardiac arrest at Centennial Airport. • The team of Safety Shepherds at Lincoln Meadows Senior Living, who are responsible for assisting with emergency situations, including nighttime evacuations.

tin’s emergency services division. Lindeman was a few vehicles away from a horrific crash in which a cement truck pulled in front of a woman on a motorcycle at U.S. 85 and Airport Road, just north of Sedalia. The victim was in bad condition; her throat had been punctured, and Lindeman held her in such a way that she could continue to breathe.

Jureller and three others were honored July 28 for coming to the aid of Cales, who suffered cardiac arrest.

“There is no doubt about it,” said Marcos Mocine-McQueen, the South Metro paramedic who was among the first emergency personnel on scene, “maintaining her airway was key to her survival.” Lindeman provided an assessment of the woman’s injuries and detailed his lifesaving measures to that point, the exact information Mocine-McQueen needed to keep her alive on the way to the hospital,

he said. Lindeman had also stabilized the victim’s cervical spine. Two months later, the woman is still recovering in the hospital, but Lindeman’s selflessness gave her another chance. “He stepped in because he cares about people,” said Mocine-McQueen, who presented the award. “She has kids and grandkids that she’s going to get to spend more time with.”

Lincoln Station moving full steam ahead Development’s transit-oriented project picking up speed as economy rebounds By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com When the Clock Tower Grill opened in Lincoln Station in October 2009, its staff felt a bit lonely. The southeast light rail extension had opened in late 2006, but a battered economy delayed construction of many of the other buildings planned near the light rail stop that opened in November 2006. “I think then it was more about the potential,” general manager Tyler Thompson said of the restaurant owner’s decision to open at Lincoln Station. Five years later, that potential is coming to life, and the landscape looks strikingly different. A boutique salon, ballet fitness studio and other businesses share the Station Street building, which now is flanked by other buildings housing offices and medical suites. Public art, including the iridescent glass piece “Sun Stream” erected on the side of Lincoln Station’s five-story parking garage and a plaza with a water feature, give visi-

tors and light rail riders reasons to linger a while. Construction is under way on an apartment complex a stone’s throw from the restaurant’s door along Park Meadows Drive, and another, larger complex is planned for construction this fall on the site’s west end. Just across Park Meadows Drive, Kaiser Permanente’s six-story, 275,000-squarefoot multi-specialty building opened in late 2013. “Some of the plans have not come to fruition, but a lot of them have,” Thompson said. “Kaiser, the apartment buildings — it’s a great area.” With existing apartment complexes like the Metropolitan already next door and two others soon to come, the Clock Tower staff no longer minds its once-isolated post. “It’s nice we’re the only game in town for walking distance,” Thompson said. The 35-acre property, while abutting the City of Lone Tree, is located in unincorporated Douglas County. Lincoln Station’s evolution follows the path of most transit-oriented developments, which are designed as mixed-use, high-density residential and commercial areas focused on access to public transportation. The complex currently under construc-

The complex developing around the Lincoln light rail station includes a water feature and public art. Two apartment complexes with a total of 371 units are planned there. Photo by Jane Reuter tion on Station Street east of Park Meadows Drive will include 101 units. The Lofts at Lincoln Station, developed by Niebur Development, is described as a Class-A, luxury property. It will include a mix of one- and two-bedroom units, average 787-squarefeet each. Niebur anticipates leasing units in early 2015. Construction on a second apartment complex between Station Way and the Metropolitan apartments will begin late this

year, and wrap up in mid-2016. The Camden Property Trust project includes about 270 units. Rent for the units, which range in size from 570 to 1,250-square-feet, will average $1,400. Camden operates several apartment complexes in the Denver area, including Camden Belleview Station. Like its planned Lone Tree complex, it is within walking distance of the Belleview light rail station.

Lengthy I-25 project to start this month ‘Lane balancing’ project expected to take 2-plus years By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two and a half years might sound like a long time to add two, three-mile-long lanes to Interstate 25, but state officials said the lengthy construction period was created in deference to the traveling public. The $32 million to $35 million “lanebalancing” project, which will add a lane to I-25 in both directions between Lincoln Avenue and County Line Road, will begin by Aug 20. It’s set for completion in Decem-

ber 2016. Why so long? “Because it’s I-25,” Colorado Department of Transportation spokeswoman Crystal Morgan said. “We can’t do a lot of work on I-25 during the day, so almost all of the work has to be done at night and on weekends. “You’ll see a lot of work being done during the day, but we are required to maintain those lanes. We will have reduced speed limits, and that does cause backups. So you will see some disruption.” The project will convert the six-lane section of highway to eight lanes, reducing congestion created in large part by I-25 drivers exiting and merging from the C-470

southbound off-ramp and the northbound Lincoln on-ramp, and those merging and exiting southbound I-25 at its intersections with County Line Road and Lincoln Avenue. The construction will also expand highway ramps. Off the highway, it will eliminate the frontage road just east of I-25 and north of Lincoln Avenue, creating a trail connection. The work originally was planned as part of the massive metro Denver Transportation Expansion Project, or T-REX, completed in 2006. The five years of construction that began in 2001 widened major portions of the interstate and added 19 miles of light rail, including the southeast corridor light rail line to Lone Tree.

Crews will do most of the lane-balancing construction between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., but Morgan said about three hours of each night shift is consumed with closing and reopening portions of the highway. “We really only have the availability to work for about six hours,” she said. Winter construction is further hampered by cold temperatures that often prohibit concrete work. “So we tend to lose a lot of construction time in the winter,” Morgan said. The project, cut from T-REX due to budget restrictions, is jointly funded by CDOT, Douglas County, the City of Lone Tree and the Denver Regional Council of Governments.

$3.4 million in budget changes get OK Nearly half goes to library/park site By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Town council has approved more than $3.4 million worth of appropriations to Parker’s 2014 budget. The unanimous vote July 21 moved $2.4 million to the public improvement fund and included a $564,000 supplemental revision to the general fund budget. The town’s home rule charter allows council to make additional appropriations during the fiscal year for unanticipated expenditures. Sometimes the changes are a matter of reallocating money from one fund to another, or placing money generated by the sale of bonds, of example, into the correct coffer. In other cases, the costs for a project will be reimbursed later by another agency or business, as is the case with the $300,000

and Twenty Mile Road and requested the tax incentives, the project has since been put on indefinite hold while the company’s new chief executive officer reviews expansion plans. Joe Greene, a spokesman for Great-West, said he should know in late fall whether the project will move forward. The insurance company, which is headquartered in the Denver Tech Center, had a two-phase plan to build roughly 120,000 square feet of office space and hire 350 new employees, with an average salary of $67,000. Approximately 50 employees would be transferred from the DTC office, but any of the proposed numbers could change, Greene said. Attracting companies that bring “high-

being spent to improve the intersection at Parker Road and Woodman Drive. Those funds will be fully reimbursed by Loaf N Jug, which operates a convenience store on the southwest corner. Douglas County and the Douglas County School District will pay back $195,000 for a traffic signal on Hilltop Road at the easternmost access point to Legend High School. But appropriations are also the result of decisions made after official approval of the annual budget. Council added $100,000 to the general fund budget for the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center to “expand the performance market” through national acts, the ordinance said. For the town to move its economic development office to the former Parker Water and Sanitation District headquarters downtown, it will pay $30,000 for rent, $30,000 for professional and technical services from the real estate transaction, $10,000 for furniture, fixtures and equipment, and $22,500 for “connectivity” associated with the building.

An appropriation of $12,000 will pay for a consultant to weigh in on Xcel Energy’s proposal to construct a new high-voltage transmission line. Another $32,300 will go toward costs associated with the Mainstreet Master Plan, a document that will specify visions and priorities for the downtown corridor. Parker allocated $1.6 million for final

er-paid daytime employment” to Parker has been one of town council’s goals, said Mayor Mike Waid. The town approved the requested tax break to remain competitive with other cities that Great-West was considering for relocation. The incentive package would rebate 100 percent of building fees and waive use taxes and fees, for a total of $260,000. “Economic favorability” was one of the many factors Great-West took into account when deciding on Parker, said Greene, who noted that many existing employees commute from Parker. “Parker just made a whole lot of sense for us,” he said. Applicants must demonstrate a need for financial assistance, which was the case with the owners of the Parker Garage, who are renovating the former Warhorse Inn and creating a concept that celebrates the history of the spot. Their investment will be roughly $900,000, and town council gave

the green light for $200,000 in tax incentives over a five-year period. Approximately 35 employees will be hired. Waid said applications are thoroughly reviewed and the incentive amount is determined on a case-by-case basis. “They have to show that either the project wouldn’t happen or wouldn’t happen in a timely fashion,” he said. “We have denied some in the past where they have basically come in after the fact for free money.” Waid clarified that “the town is not out writing checks” but rather rebating a portion of sales tax revenue over several years. He said the subsidies enable the town to compete with neighboring jurisdictions, and pointed to a package that convinced Costco to locate at E-470 and South Parker Road instead of E-470 and Gartrell Road as a successful example. The move “paid off in spades” because Costco’s sales tax revenue helped keep Parker in positive figures in 2008 when the economy tanked.

Union numbers declining Ballot Continued from Page 1

Reasons behind decrease in teachers’ membership depend on who’s talking By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Membership in Douglas County’s teachers’ union has dropped from about 70 percent of the district’s teachers in 2012 to around 50 percent, its president said. The 47-year collective bargaining agreement between the Douglas County School District and the Douglas County Federation expired after negotiations failed in 2012. School board member Doug Benevento said the decrease points to a failure of leadership, but union president Courtney Smith said it’s a combination of teacher attrition and district roadblocks. “Teachers are fleeing that union as quickly as they can,” Benevento said. “The union leadership is in it for the union leadership, and not for the rank and file.” Smith said many of the teachers who have recently left DCSD were union members who can’t continue their DCF affiliation outside Douglas County. “That’s new for us because for years and years and years, teachers in Douglas County stayed their entire careers,” she said. “They’re not fleeing the union. They’re fleeing the district. “Maybe the school board should worry less about my membership, and more about finding out why they lost 555 teachers.” Recently released figures from the Colorado Department of Education show 17.3 percent — or 555 — of DCSD’s teachers left their positions in 2013-14. The numbers are collected mid-year and do not reflect turnover after Dec. 1 of any academic year, or indistrict promotions or transfers. Of those 555 teachers, DCSD said 85 were transferred or promoted within the district. The CDE shows the district had 3,361 teachers in

2013-14. In 2011-12, the year before the collective bargaining agreement expired, DCSD teacher turnover was 11.24 percent, according to CDE records. Benevento and school board president Kevin Larsen wrote in a July 21 letter to Smith that the decrease in union membership shows, “it is clear that voters and teachers believe the leadership of the DCF is not in touch with the community.” They urged Smith to re-engage the community and “disavow the past practice of attacks and untruths.” The letter was delivered to Smith the night before her July 25 address to a Highlands Ranch Republican breakfast group. The board members cited union involvement in school board elections, opposition to the pay-forperformance system introduced in 2012 and previous union leadership that “showed virtually no commitment to its members” among their ongoing concerns with the organization. The union recently challenged the validity of the district’s teacher pay system, but the Colorado Department of Education concluded it complied with state law. Smith said the DCF is working to rebuild its membership numbers with new teachers. But that’s a challenge because it no longer participates in new-teacher orientations and trainings. “We have to reach the new teachers on our own,” she said. Although DCSD has a Center for Professional Development, the teachers’ union will reintroduce professional development classes to its members. It also introduced a sliding scale on dues, offering a $31-per-month fee to teachers paid at the lowest end of DCSD’s market-based pay scale. The regular DCF monthly dues payment is $48.98. “We want as many of them to be able to afford membership as possible,” she said. The union “gives teachers and employees a collective voice, and a collective protection against the reforms and what’s happening in the school district.”

state’s funding formula sends a disproportionate share of Douglas County taxes to other Colorado school districts, leaving DCSD “consistently underfunded.” “The board is convinced that, because Douglas County taxpayers believe they are paying top-dollar for statewide education in the form of substantial income, sales, property and other taxes, they are simply unlikely to approve any local ballot measure that will further increase their tax burden,” the resolution reads. DCSD is among the lowest-funded districts in Colorado. If it received the average state per-pupil funding for 2014-15, it would boost its revenues by about $269 per student — a total of $17.2 million. At that rate, it would take 16 years to cover the $275 million in unmet capital needs. Members of DCSD’s Long Range Planning Committee have for years warned the board about deteriorating conditions in many of its aging buildings. DCSD has $275 million in unfunded capital needs over the next five years, according to the committee, a number that grows by $35 million each year the needs are not addressed. DCSD chief financial officer Bonnie Betz recently proposed seeking voter approval to issue general obligation bonds without raising tax rates. Betz called the idea to leverage additional funds a “win-win.” Without such action, taxpayers eventually will see a decrease in their annual tax obligation to the schools. Voters passed a similar refinancing mechanism in the Littleton Public Schools district last November. Issues presented in the Long Range Planning Committee’s 2014-15 Capital Master Plan include aging buses, boilers and roofs; outdated technology; cracked parking lots; unraveling carpet; safety and security needs; and new construction prompted by near-capacity schools. “This seems urgent to me,” DCSD chief operations officer Thomas Tsai told the board during a June presentation to the board. The resolution also states DCSD will continue studying fiscally responsible ways to address the district’s capital needs. Long Range Planning Committee Chair Todd Warnke said the group will continue following the resolution’s directive to educate the community on the issue, gather feedback and return to the board with alternatives. That could include putting the issue on the November 2015 ballot, the last chance DCSD would have to continue the current tax rate. Once tax rates begin to fall in 2016 and residents become adjusted to those lower assessments, Usechek said it would be tough to raise them back up. “Until they get their ducks in a row, (passing any question) is not viable,” he said. “They’d better do it before 2015 because that’s the last window of opportunity there is for no tax increase.”

School bells ring for most Aug. 11 Douglas County cites new features for academic year By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Alissa Oster and her mother are excited about the Aug. 11 start of school, but for very different reasons. “I can get back into the routine I like,” said mom Suzanne Keilt, mother of four Douglas County School District students. “Summer can get kind of chaotic.” “I’m really excited because I get to see one of my friends, and I’m going to be a junior so I’ll be an upperclassmen,” said 16-year-old Oster, who attends Highlands Ranch High School. Oster is enthused about an interior design class she plans to take, apprehensive about math, and intrigued by chemistry. “I heard chemistry was fun,” she said. “But I’m getting a lot of the new teachers next year. That’s one thing I’m not real excited for. So I’m on and off about it.” Most Douglas County students return to school Aug. 11, though some charter schools and other schools have different starting dates. Check your school’s website or www.dcsdk12.org for calendars and other information. We asked the Douglas County School District what’s new for the 2014-15 academic year. Here is the district’s response: • DCSD Strategic Plan: The new 2014-17 DCSD Strategic Plan features four priorities: Safety, Choice, World Class Education and System Performance. We have long said that safety is our number one priority. With the new Strategic Plan, we move safety forward as our first priority. • SchoolMessenger: Launched in the spring of 2014, SchoolMessenger is a reliable and robust messaging system used for emergency communication with parents and staff. • Professional Development module for InspirED Innovation: This new module will support a focus on alignment, sustainability and continuous quality improvement. The PD module will help staff find the courses that best align to learning needs — such as an individual teacher searching

for a course aligned to their professional growth plan and their CITE evaluation, a principal looking for courses tied to school data, a classified staff member seeking to enhance their skills, or The Center for Professional Development using the information as a needs assessment. In turn, this data will be used to show growth in individual and system skills and performance. • DCSD Mobile App: Stay tuned for the new and improved version of the DCSD mobile app. It will be available for free on iTunes and GooglePlay. • DCSD Parent University: Parent University will educate, empower and connect families with community resources needed to provide confidence, character development and life skills. A parent advisory group and district leaders have collaborated to create a robust list of courses and seminars. DCSD Parent University registration will open on Sept. 9. • DCSD Parent Liaison: In May 2014, DCSD added the Office of Parent Liaison to connect parents with district resources and leaders. The DCSD Parent Liaison will work closely with school accountability committees, maintain a social media presence and serve as a liaison. • DCSD Choice Fairs: DCSD will host three Choice Fairs to showcase schools and district programs. This is an opportunity for parents and students to learn more about what makes each school unique and choose a school that best fits their needs. • Castle View High School: The Mosaic Collective is a pilot program being implemented this year for a group of ninth- and 10th-graders. The new program will address the personalized learning needs of each student in a transformational learning environment. Teachers will collaborate with each student to develop curriculum aligned with that particular student’s passion and interest. At the same time, the teacher will also ensure the individual student learns critical standards and skills. “I’m convinced this is going to be our best year ever,” reads an emailed statement attributed to Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen. “Our work continued this summer and we are ready to welcome students back into the classroom. The energy and excitement from our students and staff is contagious.”

Local groups team up for kids By Jane Reuter

jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com Five Douglas County entities teamed up to make going back to school a lot more pleasant for about 640 area students. The Douglas County Educational Foundation (DCEF), Douglas/Elbert Task Force, Douglas County Libraries, the Giving Tree and Fresh Harvest Food Bank provided school supply kits to families during an Aug. 2 event at the food bank in Lone Tree. Students received backpacks and

school supply kits provided through Staples’ Kits for Kidz that included crayons, paper, markers, scissors and other age-appropriate items. In addition to the Staples’ kits, Douglas County Libraries donated $1,000 worth of flash drives. “It doesn’t meet every need, but we distilled it down to the essentials,” said Krista Zizzo, a program coordinator for the DCEF. She estimated the value of the items each student received at between $30 and $50. Surplus supplies from the event will be made available to teachers.

Vote for lawsuit spurs another partisan split GOP claim against Obama has Democrats shaking heads By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado congressional Republicans insist that last week’s vote to sue President Obama was a necessary response to “overreach” on the part of his administration. But their Democratic counterparts slammed Republicans for taking time just before leaving Washington for the summer recess to hold a purely partisan vote to sue the president rather than address issues that actually matter to Americans. “What they’re doing certainly doesn’t do anything to help the middle class of America,” said Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter. The Republican-led House voted 225201 to approve a resolution to authorize House Speaker John Boehner to sue Obama on claims that the president has abused his power and has ignored the Constitution. No Democrats voted for the lawsuit and five Republicans also voted no. Republicans claim that Obama has overreached on a number of areas where

he has taken executive action. But the lawsuit focuses specifically on the president’s decision to delay key provisions of the Affordable Care Act. Republicans are unhappy that the president did not consult with Congress prior to taking action to delay the requirement that businesses provide health coverage to their employees. Democrats find it funny that the lawsuit focuses on a provision delay of Obamacare — a health care law that Republicans didn’t want to see implemented to begin with. Republican Rep. Cory Gardner said he voted for the lawsuit because “we have an obligation to uphold the Constitution and the Constitution requires a separation of powers.” “The president has stepped across this line and has engaged in unilateral lawmaking,” Gardner said. “He’s weakened the legislative branch and strengthened the executive branch at the expense of the legislative branch.” Republican Rep. Mike Coffman said that if Democrats valued the preservation of constitutional separation of powers, they should have joined Republicans in voting for the lawsuit. “It absolutely should have been bipartisan because I think that anybody serving the Congress ought to be concerned about executive overreach, whether it’s a

Republican in the White House or a Democrat in the White House,” Coffman said. “I think that we are co-equal branches of government and anybody serving in the Congress ought to be interested in preserving the power of the institution.” But the public doesn’t seem to agree. Although Obama’s approval ratings continue to be anemic, results from a recent CNN/ORC International poll show that respondents oppose the lawsuit by a 5741 percent ratio. Coffman said he doesn’t concern himself with the possibility that voters might respond adversely to Republican efforts to sue the president. “I only focus on what I’m doing,” he said. “I don’t focus on the Republican Party. I don’t focus on Washington, D.C. I focus on what the voters in the district focus on.” But Perlmutter said if that’s the case, then why aren’t Republicans focusing on passing legislation that matters to the public? “That’s what they’re spending their time on,” Perlmutter said of the lawsuit. “Instead of getting things done for Americans across the country, they’re suing the president and they can’t get done immigration reform, infrastructure, education, retirement security ... stuff that’s important that doesn’t get done.”

Fracking Continued from Page 1

which water and chemicals are blasted into the ground to free up trapped oil and gas underneath. Also as part of the agreement, Hickenlooper said that the state would work to end a lawsuit against Longmont over new oil and gas regulations the city adopted two years ago. But the big news is the agreement to pull the ballot measures. Hickenlooper and the oil and gas industry had opposed Polis’ efforts, concerned that the initiatives would be akin to a fracking ban in a state that relies on drilling to feed the economy. And Democrats were concerned that an expensive fracking battle would hurt candidates this November, especially Sen. Mark Udall, who is locked in a tight re-election campaign against U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner. But those fears for Democrats now appear to be over as Polis announced he is backing off of his efforts to continue to pursue the initiatives, measures that he had been helping to finance. Polis said during a hastily-called Capitol press conference that he considers the creation of a task force to be “a victory for the people of Colorado.” “For the first time, with the (oil and gas) commission that the governor mentioned, citizens will be on equal footing with the oil

and gas industry and will be able to directly negotiate to protect their property rights, home values, and air quality,” Polis said. The 18-member task force would be charged with helping to “minimize land use conflicts that can occur when siting oil and gas facilities near homes, schools, businesses and recreational areas,” according to the governor’s office. The task force would be made up a diverse group of members from across all business fields. Members would include representatives from the industries of oil and gas, conservation, agriculture, homebuilders and local governments and civic leaders. The task force would make recommendations on fracking issues to the Legislature.

Fight over for now

Although the agreement had been announced by the governor and Polis, it was still unclear at the time of the press event whether pro-fracking groups would agree to drop their own measures. That question was answered late that same evening by Rep. Frank McNulty, RHighlands Ranch, who was behind an initiative that would have prohibited communities that ban fracking from collecting revenues that are a part of oil and gas revenue allocation. McNulty said through a press statement that he would suspend his efforts, calling the decision by Polis to drop his initiatives “an exciting turn of events.” Another pro-fracking initiative, which would have dealt with financial disclosure issues of future ballot measures that deal with

energy development, was also dropped. Hickenlooper had cautioned for months that the ballot initiatives could have “draconian” results on an industry that generates jobs and contributes billions of dollars to the Colorado economy. For months, the governor held out hope of calling a special session to address local control issues surrounding fracking, only to call off those efforts last month after a compromise had failed to materialize. It now appears that the governor doesn’t have to worry about an expensive fight over fracking in November. “The (task force) will provide an alternative to ballot initiatives that, if successful, would have regulated the oil and gas industry through the rigidity of constitutional amendments and would have imposed a significant threat to Colorado’s economy,” Hickenlooper said. As for the Longmont litigation, Hickenlooper said he would call on the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission to drop its lawsuit against the city. The city had created its own set of rules surrounding fracking, including a requirement that wells be placed at least 750 feet from an occupied dwelling. The lawsuit marked the first time the state had sued a city over its own oil and gas rules.

Fracking politics play out

The politics of fracking played out almost immediately after the press conference ended. Former Congressman Bob Beauprez, who is running against Hickenlooper this fall, blasted the “backroom deal” reached by the

governor and Polis as having left “many unanswered questions.” Colorado Republican Chairman Ryan Call was also critical of the announcement. “Literally, the only thing that we know for certain after today’s press conference is that Gov. Hickenlooper, Jared Polis and Colorado Democrats want even more control over Colorado’s already heavily regulated energy industry,” Call said through an emailed statement. As for Udall, he had been in a tough spot on the fracking issue, considering that a large number of environmentalists — a key Udall constituency — had been behind Polis’ efforts. The senator issued a statement in favor of the agreement. “This deal — which averts a divisive and counterproductive ballot fight over one-sizefits-all restrictions — is welcome news and underscores how all of Colorado benefits when we find common ground,” Udall said. Polis, whose district includes some cities that have voted to ban fracking, told reporters that he had never been pressured by fellow Democrats worried about the political ramifications to halt his efforts. “I would say no,” Polis said. “The Democrats in my district were very excited about these initiatives and the chance to fight it out and protect their homes. Obviously this will be disappointing to some of my constituents, Republican and Democratic, but I would point out to them that there’s been progress made.”

Local artists show Western works Gray, Phippen exhibit set for Town Hall gallery By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Skilled paintings of cowboys, horses and the Western landscape will fill the Stanton Gallery at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center during the month of August, especially during Western Welcome Week, with the Western Heritage Art Show. The exhibit opens Aug. 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Robert Gray of Highlands Ranch and Sarah Phippen of Sedalia will exhibit images of horses, cowboys and Western landscapes. An artists’ reception is planned from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 14, and the exhibit ends Aug. 25. Robert Gray is a Colorado-born artist who paints in watercolor, oil and acrylics, showing lots of action, color and loose style. He will have 20 paintings in the Western Heritage exhibit and is excited about being in downtown Littleton, where he maintained a studio and taught for some years on West Alamo Avenue. He conducts workshops all over Colorado and paints almost every day in his home studio. “My house is just full of paintings,” he said with a laugh. “”I love to paint.” He works from photographs and memory and uses little plastic model horses. “Sometimes, I paint the horse, then just put the cowboy in the saddle,” he said. He doesn’t sketch in figures for oil or acrylic works, but may do a little pencil sketch of figure for his watercolors. A recent painting of a cowboy on a horse in the middle of a stream — fly fishing — is called “It Beats Chasin’ Cattle.” It reflects a new interest. His son got interested in fly fishing and they both signed up for a class in fly tying. Gray hasn’t caught many fish yet, but loves “the beauty of the location.” He said his brother was a better painter when they were young, but while Gray continued painting, his brother quit. “I picked up publications and art books, attended workshops all over the country,” he said. “What’s neat when I teach is that I learn from my students.” Whatever medium he’s using is his favorite on that day, he said. He’s figured out his own way to use acrylics and paints fast, whatever he’s using — even oils, where he might spend a few days. Watercolors can get overworked if the artist doesn’t stop in time. (No more than two hours.)

Phippen to show oils

Phippen said all of her works in this show will be oil paintings, although she also sculpts in bronze. Her formal training began at age 14, according to her website,

“Fly Fishing Cowboy” by Robert Gray, acrylic, is also in the Western Welcome Week Western Heritage Arts Show.

New York Eater, the national website that has a Denver version (www.denver.eater. com), has tracked the culinary trek of Colorado chefs who have packed their knives and migrated to The Big Apple. While writer Nick Solares highlights the Colorado kitchen careers of a number of chefs who practiced their craft at The Little Nell in Aspen and Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder in particular, the story had a glaring omission — my son, On the Town Junior. Mackenzie Parker Harden moved to New York City more than a year ago to pursue a performing arts career, but fell back on the restaurant training he received at Elway’s, El Diablo and (as a sage) at TAG, and landed a server job at Maialino, a much-lauded jewel in the crown of the Union Square Hospitality Group, helmed by noted restaurateur Danny Meyer. The story credits the culinary program of The Little Nell resort in Aspen and Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder for providing top New York restaurant whizzes. Among those former Coloradans are Dustin Wilson, the sommelier at Eleven Madison Park, Sabato Sagaria, chief restaurant officer for Union Square Hospitality Group and seemingly the entire staff of Charlie Bird, to name but a few. The story notes: “Is Colorado turning into a farm system for NYC kitchens? Is this just a strange coincidence? Or is there, in fact, a Colorado connection? Eater talked with some of the state’s notable expats to find out just why, exactly, so many talented hospitality professionals are migrating from Colorado to New York.” It continues: “Colorado is in many ways the quintessential Western state, and the resourcefulness and spirit of independence that were such driving forces in the migration across the plains still manifest themselves there. `It’s hard to live in Colorado if you are not a motivated person,’ says Ryan Hardy, chef and owner of Charlie Bird in NYC. Originally from Kentucky, Hardy spent a decade in Colorado before moving to New York and opening his own restaurant. He has played a role in the cross-pollination of restaurant cultures between the two places, bringing others from Colorado, such as Grant Reynolds, the wine director at Charlie Bird, with him.”

Her grandfather was sculptor, painter and founder of Cowboy Artists of America George Phippen, and she was recognized in 2013 by the Phippen Museum Western Art Show in Prescott, Ariz. “I grew up surrounded by livestock and wildlife,” Phippen writes. “Observing their personalities and expressions allowed me to experience their quiet moments or read trouble in their eyes. I see this heritage as part of our age-old relationship with animals; it is part of being human, a privilege that surrounds us every day.” As part of her training, Phippen worked as a wax chaser at the Joseph’s Art Works bronze foundry in Sheridan, operated by the late Bill Joseph’s son Patrick. She assisted with a 2004 retrospective for George Phippen, held at the Phippen Museum, and developed an art enrichment program for elementary students. A true Western artist, Phippen’s website reads, she belongs to the Art Students

League of Denver and to the Colorado Farm Bureau. “Communicating emotions in a visual language, either in painting or sculpture, requires a fluency in light, color, form, as well as patient observations … Observe and observe again and look for the reasons behind expressions. How — and why — does a horse smile? That’s what I’m after.” She thinks she will have about eight paintings: two large horses, a 16-by-20 landscape and some smaller studies. New for her: two light figures on a dark background.

Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 9. Public reception is from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 14. 303-794-2787, townhallartscenter.com.

Tip a glass at Art & Ale fest Visitors to sample brews while viewing, creating art By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com An estimated 2,000 beer lovers will tip a glass during the Art & Ale Brew Festival. Now in its 11th year at The Wildlife Experience, on Peoria Street south of Lincoln Avenue near Parker, the festival will gather 50 breweries and 20 restaurants eager to show off their latest concoctions from 6-10 p.m. Aug. 15. The event has doubled in size in the last decade, as interest in craft brews has swelled. There are a few new additions to the menu in 2014, including a create-your-own-art station that will enable visitors to paint on a 6-by6-inch canvas. Organizers also threw corn hole (a.k.a. bag toss) onto the outdoor activity list, and for the viewing pleasure of beer connoisseurs, an ice sculpture demonstration. The Art & Ale Brew Festival, which draws nearly four times as many attendees as the museum’s annual Art & Wine fest, has become so popular that organizers have to turn away some breweries and cap the number of tickets sold because of capacity constraints, said Christopher Goetz, events and promotions

coordinator for The Wildlife Experience. There is good reason for its growth. “It’s an all-around really fun event, and kind of like the last big blowout of summer before the kids go back to school,” Goetz said. “(Attendees) should expect a really super-fun party atmosphere.” Flock of Beagles, a well-known ‘80s cover band from Denver, will play in the museum’s Great Hall, and dancing is highly encouraged, although oftentimes it doesn’t take much encouragement. Being an indoor and outdoor event helps spread the crowd and enables friends to step outside to enjoy a beautiful mid-August evening, Goetz said. Non-drinkers and designated drivers get reduced admission and can grab a refreshing creation from a “mocktail” beverage station. Shirley Temples and Roy Rogers drinks will be available, as will coffee from Caribou Coffee. People who want to satisfy yet another craving can stop by the “sugar shack” area, which will feature Blue Bell Ice Cream and other treats, Goetz said. Those who wish to attend should buy their tickets online at www.thewildlifeexperience. org as soon as possible, as the brew festival is expected to sell out. Tickets for non-members are $40 and members are $35. Door admission will be $40 if any tickets are left. Designated drivers can get in for $25.

Local restaurants get big exposure at Taste Event to feature food from more than 50 Douglas County vendors, along with cook-off By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinado @coloradocommunitymedia.com More than 50 different restaurants and food vendors will fill the Douglas County Events Center for the 12th annual Taste of Douglas County on Aug. 21. Some names will be as big as Outback Steakhouse and Old Chicago Pizza. But it’s the little guys who really get the chance to shine. “It’s a wonderful event. It’s really a celebration of all the great food and restaurants that we have here in the county and it’s an opportunity for the restaurant owners, especially the people who own the smaller, local places, to have people try their food and get their name out there,” said John Delay, owner of the Pegasus Restaurant in downtown Castle Rock, 313 Jerry Street. For smaller restaurants that don’t feel that they can support a booth at the event, there

Rollins coming to Ranch

New York Times bestselling author James Rollins will be in the area at 7 p.m. Aug. 22 at Tattered Cover Highlands Ranch (9315 Dorchester St.) to sign copies of his new book, “The 6th Extinction” ($27.99 Morrow, on sale Aug. 12.), the 10th book in the Sigma Force series that explores the possibility of a mass extinction and how that could actually be a good thing. Rollins is the chair of the Authors United for Veterans program through USA Cares,

will also be a food court where restaurants can send in food to be passed out by the event wait staff. “Not everyone can be Outback Steakhouse or Maggiano’s,” said Taste of Douglas County organizer and radio personality Mike Boyle, who hosts a restaurant talk show on KNUS 710 AM. “We want to make sure that regardless of the size of your restaurant, we have an opportunity for you to promote yourself and get the word out.” New this year at the event will be a cooking competition that will pit five of the county’s restaurants against each other, including Old Stone Church, Crave Real Burgers, Manna Restaurant, LYFE Kitchen and Blue Nectar Mexican Grill. Each competitor will submit any single dish of their choosing for a taste test by a panel of judges. “We’re always looking for ways to improve the event and we got a lot of people coming to us and saying `how about a competition,’” said Boyle. A judge’s award and a people’s choice award will be given out to winners of the event. Taste-goers will also have the opportunity

to spin a prize wheel to win gift certificates from area restaurants like L & L Hawaiian Barbecue, Bonefish Grill, Brewery Bar III and LoDo’s Bar & Grill. Restaurants will also offer menus, coupons and other incentives for you to visit their establishments. “I’ve been to every food festival in the state, and I’m not going to say this is better than that or who the best is, but the event is as good as any in Colorado,” Boyle said. “You could spend a couple thousand dollars and go to something like Aspen Food and Wine, but for $10 you’re going to have an equally great experience in Douglas County.” This year’s restaurants will include Old Stone Church, John Holly’s Asian Bistro, LYFE Kitchen, Pegasus Restaurant, Black Eyed Pea, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, B & B Cafe, India’s Castle, Casa Caliente Mexican Restaurant, Ali Baba Mediterranean Grill and Crave Real Burgers among others. The Taste of Douglas County will be held from 5-8 p.m. Aug.21 at the Douglas County Events Center, 500 Fairgrounds Rd. in Castle Rock. Vendors will offer selections ranging from appetizers to main courses and desserts. Tickets are $20 at the door and $10 if

Speaker shoots wildlife in the nicest way Camera club to host nature photographer By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Our Wonderful World of Wildlife” is Russ Burden’s title for his 20-minute program that features photos of mammals, birds, insects and more, photographed both locally and during the nature photography tours he conducts. Slides are accompanied by music, offering a mini-escape from reality. He will present the program at 7 p.m. Aug. 12 for the Englewood Camera Club’s monthly meeting at Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit in Centennial. Guests and new members are welcome to this longstanding club (60 years), according to member Steve Johnson. Burden, a Parker resident, teaches locally and travels across the U.S. and around the world (Africa is a new destination), connecting photographers and nature. He replied to our inquiry from Glacier National Park, where he is conducting two tours, photographing the spectacular scenery and wildlife. His website offers a nice hint for those who can’t contemplate a long journey to Africa right now: zoo photography. He offers suggestions for equipment to take on a “Safari to the Zoo” and wryly comments that it’s easier to get a close-up shot there. He also offers “10 Ways To Become a Better Photographer” on his well-organized website: RussBurdenPhotography.com.

A few of Ferreira’s bowls are textured and pierced with a dental drill-like tool that carves out nongeometrical holes into wood that has been carved down to a width of one-sixteenth of an inch.

As with most artists, the most gratifying feeling comes when an enthusiastic customer stops by Ferreira’s booth and expresses a deep appreciation for his work. “That’s what I’m there for,” he said. “I want to see that, watch their face light up.” For more information, stop by Ferreira’s booth at Art in the Park or visit his Facebook page by typing “Woodturnings by Ron” into the search field.

Lutheran choir to sing in Springs Parker students going to state conference By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Lutherans have a wonderful tradition of singing and music throughout our history. It is a privilege to carry that on in our schools and churches today,” said Christopher Loesel, choir director at Parker Lutheran High School. He is elated because he has learned that the 14 members of his select Jubilate Choir will sing for the Colorado Music Educators Association at the annual January state conference — an exciting opportunity for the students, and for him. It is scheduled Jan. 28-31 at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. “Choosing a program for a group of music educators is exciting, but also challenging,” he replied to our query. “As I’m planning the repertoire, one thing that I look at is including a mix of timeless choral classics

with some newer pieces. I think it is important to include some recently composed pieces to give the music educators some new ideas that they can consider for their choral programs. “It is my goal to select a program that represents who we are as a school, while also representing a wide variety of musical styles and periods … At this point, the program is still a work in progress. I know that there will be several languages throughout the concert, some pieces from the sacred repertoire, some pieces utilizing well-known poetry and probably a spiritual or two.” Loesel said the Jubilate Choir performs a diverse repertory in a variety of settings: at church services, schools, competitions, music showcases and tours in the spring. Members develop a family feeling among themselves as they create beautiful music together. “While we are extremely honored to be a part of the conference, we want to stay focused on the reason that we sing and that is to bring glory and honor to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” Loesel concluded.

Zip lines approved for Castle Rock park Philip S. Miller Park expected to open in fall By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinado @coloradocommunitymedia.com Zip lines will soon be swinging into Philip S. Miller Park. On July 22, the Castle Rock Town Council unanimously approved a lease agreement with Royal Gorge Zip Lines out of Canon City that will bring a zip-line course to the new park. The 10-year-lease agreement ensures that 5 percent of the total gross revenue collected will go to Castle Rock. The town estimates the revenue will be about $45,000 annually. Royal Gorge Zip Lines will cover all costs of design, construction, fees, permits and business operations for the zip lines and aerial trekking, including staffing, insurance, and inspections. Monthly financial reports will be submitted to the town. “What we were looking for was a familyfriendly recreational opportunity that was financially solid and did not require any funding from the town except for the use of the land itself,” said Town of Castle Rock Parks and Recreation Director Rob Hannah. According to Hannah, research done by the town found that the demographics, timing, location and visibility make Castle Rock

On July 22, Castle Rock Town Council unanimously approved a 10-year lease agreement with Royal Gorge Zip Lines of Canon City to build a zip line course in the soon-to-be-open Philip S. Miller Park. The course, highlighted by a threeand-a-half hour traditional course, will also feature a timber park and dual race lines. Stock photo an attractive location for a zip-line course. Hannah said zip-line courses are laid out very similar to golf courses. “You take off of a tower or tee box and zip down to another landing tower or green,” he said. A typical experience on the proposed course will take between three and three-and-

a-half hours and includes nine different zip lines up to 1,000-feet long, reaching speeds of 50 miles per hour. In addition to the traditional course, there will also be an Aerial Trekking Timber Park and Dual Race Lines. The Aerial Trekking Timber Park area will provide a family-style challenge course. This

is a self-paced tour designed for children between the ages of 6 and 15, but is also appropriate for adults. The Timber Park will have both easy and difficult routes. Time spent in the Aerial Park could last between 30 minutes and 2 hours. Dual race lines are designed with competition as the goal. Two people take off at the same time and it’s a race to the end. It is designed and located so that a participant can race several times in a row. “If you’re playing soccer with the soccer team out at Philip S. Miller park and you want to come and compete on something and you don’t have three-and-a-half hours, you can do either one of these two in a reasonable amount of time,” Hannah said. The proposed rate plan shows a significant discount for Castle Rock residents. The non-resident cost for the zip-line course is anticipated to be $97.90 and the resident rate will be $64.90. A 10 percent activity fee will be included in the price of each ticket. The Aerial Trekking Timber Park Course will cost $31.90 for residents and $53.90 for nonresidents. Meanwhile, the dual racing course will cost $13.20 for residents and $22 for nonresidents. It is still unknown when construction of the course will begin. Philip S. Miller Park is scheduled to open in late October or early November.

38 State celebrates 38th state with bash New brewer throws party for Colorado’s big No. 138 By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton had the most perfect place in the 38th state to celebrate its 138th birthday: 38 State Brewing Company. “It was like the gods were smiling on us,” said Brett Blazek, an owner at the brewery. Not only was it the new brewery’s first observance of the birthday of its namesake, it happened to fall on a Friday, so the party was

in full swing on the afternoon of Aug. 1. It was dubbed the “Firkin Birthday Party” in reference to a brewery measurement that equates to a quarter of a barrel of beer, and to kick off the party, they tapped two porters they had brewed up especially for the event. There were plenty of ways to observe the occasion, including cornhole and giant Jenga tournamenta, Colorado Trivia and more — all with prizes and giveaways. Everyone came together at 8:01 p.m. (on 8/1) for birthday cake decorated as the state flag and the ceremonial singing of “Happy Birthday.” The owners themselves are reflective of the Western spirit Colorado has always been known for, blazing the trail for other brewers

opening in Littleton. Several manufacturers had expressed interest in the city, but 38 State was the first to actually get the barrel rolling. At the time, such companies were only allowed in industrial areas like the Santa Fe corridor, where Breckenridge Brewery will rise next year. The Old Mill brewery gets to be downtown because it has a full restaurant, so it’s classified as a brewpub. But after dealing with 38 State, city staff recommended last year that the law be changed to allow microbreweries, wine makers and microdistilleries in certain commercial areas like

shopping centers and downtown. City council ultimately agreed, passing an ordinance that limits their size and requires 30 percent of the building to be dedicated to retail sales and a tasting room. But the action actually came too late to help 38 State, which opened May 10 in a former automotive shop at Broadway and County Line Road. “We are very excited and want to share that excitement with the all Coloradans, not only this Friday, but for many years to come,” said Blazek.

A competitive community of CrossFitters Team from Douglas County gym competes in world competition in California By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com CrossFit is a community. “CrossFit is not easy,” said Steve Hartle, owner of Backcountry CrossFit gym in Highlands Ranch. “It’s the motivation from the group that helps drive you. That sense of community that we’re all in this together.” Recently, seven Highlands Ranch athletes from Backcountry CrossFit competed at the Reebok CrossFit Games, a worldwide competition to “find the fittest on Earth,” which took place July 25-31 in Carson, Calif. According to the CrossFit Games website, “the goal is to find the fittest athletes, not to produce an easily replicable workout program.” Although only seven people affiliated with Backcountry CrossFit qualified to compete in the games, Hartle said it was a group effort that got them there. He said just qualifying for the games is a big deal, and over 45 athletes from the local gym went to spectate and cheer on their team. “We’re (only) the second team in Colorado to ever qualify for the games,” he said, adding that the competition has been around since 2007. Each CrossFit gym is independently owned, and there are about 10,000 in the world, Hartle said. From those 10,000 gyms, 217,000 people began the process of qualifying for the CrossFit Games with the Open, a competition that took place at the end of February. Hartle said the Open consisted of five weeks of different judged workouts. Each week, the scores are compared to others from throughout the region. There are 17 regions around the world. Teams competing in Backcountry CrossFit’s region come from Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada. After scoring high enough in the Open, the

Chris Dozois of Castle Rock competes in the mens deadlift at the Reebok CrossFit Games in California. Dozois was one of seven members of Highlands Ranch’s Backcountry CrossFit that competed in the world championship competition. Photo by Robbie Wright top 30 teams from the region went on to Regionals in May, which took place in Salt Lake City. The Regional competition is a “three-day competition of head-to-head workouts,” Hartle said. Of the 30 teams that competed in Regionals, the top three qualified to compete in the CrossFit Games. The Backcountry CrossFit team, called Backcountry Black, won second place at Regionals. The team consists of three women, Stephanie Brady and Meredith Smith of Highlands Ranch, and Becky Conzelman of Denver; and three men, Dalton Spanbauer of Highlands Ranch, Chris Dozois of Castle Rock and Dave Foster of Denver. Backcountry CrossFit also had a master in the competition, Mike Egan of Highlands Ranch, who competed individually. Backcountry Black competed in 13 differ-

ent scored workouts, Hartle said, eventually placing 15th out of 43 teams. Egan competed against 19 other athletes, and was required to do eight different workouts. He finished 12th in the men’s 45-49-year-old division. “CrossFit, in general, is competitive,” Egan said. “You’re competing every day — either against yourself or others in the gym. But, everyone is there, still encouraging you.” A definition of CrossFit is “constantly varied, functional movements (that are) performed at high intensity over a broad time and modal domains.” Hartle said the workouts have to encompass certain things, but can be anything from Olympic lifting, gymnastics and cardio. CrossFit is known as a general preparedness program because it “specializes in not specializing,” Hartle said. “One of the beautiful things about Cross-

Fit is that anyone can do it (because) it can be scaled to people’s different abilities,” Hartle said. “You challenge yourself every day (and) the better you get, the harder it gets. The appeal is that you never plateau.” Egan said the hardest part about getting involved with CrossFit is showing up. “When you first walk in the door, it’s intimidating — people doing strange workouts,” Egan said, “but it’s geared from entry-level to advanced. If you do the work, you see progress.” Hartle’s wife, Ashley, who is co-owner of Backcountry CrossFit, said there is no limitation with CrossFit because everything can be modified. She said people who do it gain a new outlook on what they can accomplish. “CrossFit is core-centric,” she said. “It starts with the core and works out. It makes you stronger for everything you do in life.”

Valor senior heads to China to throw discus Showalter to compete with Team USA in Youth Olympics By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Haley Showalter’s first taste of International competition was bitter. She hopes for a sweeter taste when she competes as a member of the USA Track and Field Youth Olympic team in the discus at the Youth Olympic Games for 16- and 17-year old athletes Aug. 16-28 in Nanjing, China. Showalter, a senior-to-be at Valor Christian who won the Class 4A State discus championship in May, was among the participants at the Junior World Championships, held July 22-27 in Eugene, Ore. She enjoyed herself despite not faring well in the hammer throw, which ironically is her favorite event. “I didn’t do very well,” said Showalter. “I scratched on all my throws in the qualifiers. That was a little disappointing but despite that I probably had the best time of my life out there with my teammates and watching everybody else compete. “I had never competed internationally. It was a little intimidating so it’s good to have the experience. There was tons of good competition. There were a lot of European girls there and they have been throwing the hammer a lot longer than I have. They have a whole lot more experience. I’ve just got to practice more and get a few more years of experience under my belt.” Rhode Island is the only state that sanctions the hammer throw for high school athletes but Showalter’s heave of 193 feet, 4 inches is the country’s best prep throw this year. Showalter qualified for the Youth Olympics with a personal best discus throw of 153.5 feet at the American Youth Olympic Trials earlier this summer in Miramar, Fla.

Valor Christian’s Haley Showalter, who won the state championship in discus, is headed to China Aug. 16-28 to throw the discus for the United States in the Youth Olympic Games. Photos by Jim Benton “I’m excited that I earned another chance to get another international competition experience,” said Showalter. “I’ve got to train with the discus now and get ready. “Hammer is my favorite event. Mostly my focus goes on the discus right now and we’ll probably start throwing the shot during the indoor season. I’m working on everything in my form. I have a lot to iron out. If I fix my form I could throw 20 feet further. I have a lot to straighten out in my form.” Tom Menting is Showalter’s Dad and coach.

“I’ve been coaching her since she was 11-years-old,” said Menting. “My certification is in sports performance training. I started training her after school just to get her acclimated to movement. She responded very well. “She leaves for China Aug. 13. Every week we’ve been doing conference calls. They are telling the kids as much as it is for the competition and Olympic Games for kids under 18-years-old, they are trying to make it very cultural so they get to see some of China and meet people from other countries.’’

Showalter, who has also trained for seven years as a classical pianist, can’t wait. “I’ve never been out of the country so it will be interesting to see the different culture in a different part of the world,” she said. “I took piano lessons a few years back and I still play but I don’t do it as often. Classical is mostly what I practiced and played. It didn’t fit into my schedule with track and basketball though.” Showalter abandoned basketball two years ago and now the world anticipates her gifts as a track and field competitor.

Marley uses summer success to his advantage Arapahoe grad prepares to take golf game to next level at Northern Colorado By Jim Benton jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Sam Marley usually spends a lot of time at South Suburban Golf Course tuning up his game. The Arapahoe High School graduate will continue to polish his game this fall in Greeley for the University of Northern Colorado men’s golf team. “I go to South Suburban almost every day,” he said. “I probably spend three or four hours a day there.” Marley’s father, Todd, is the head professional at the Centennial course but his son has only been playing competitive golf for four years. “I played baseball until my freshman year,” said Sam. “I played golf for fun with my family, but I didn’t start playing golf competitively until my freshman year. “I used to get a lot of help from my Dad but now I’ve met a guy, Steve Beach, at Glenmoor Country Club. I’ve been taking lessons from him for a while now.” The lessons have paid dividends this summer. For starters, Marley went on a late birdie binge to win the Colorado Golf Association Junior Match Play Champion-

Arapahoe High School graduate Sam Marley will take his golf game to the University of Northern Colorado this fall. Photos by Jim Benton ship at Bear Creek Golf Club July 18 with a 3 and 1 win over Trevor Glen. “It was definitely the biggest tournament that I’ve won,” said Marley who was seeded 46th. “I made a lot of birdies. I made a lot putts but I was also hitting my irons pretty close to hole so that made the putting a little easier. “I have been playing well this summer. It is a little bit of everything but mostly I’ve been hitting to ball really well.” Marley also qualified to play in the HealthOne Colorado Open with a qualify-

ing score of even-par 70 at Inverness Golf Club on July 9. He shot a 2-under-par 69 on July 24 during the first round of the Colorado Open at Green Valley Golf Course. He finished with rounds of 77, 72 and 75 to finish with a 9-over-par 293 total that left him tied for 62nd place. “It was awesome,” he said. “It was probably one of the favorite tournaments I’ve ever played in. I was pretty excited after the first day. I thought there was no way that I wouldn’t make the cut. But

I kind of struggled through the second day.” Marley’s summer success should help him adjust to collegiate golf at UNC. “A lot of it is I’m way more confident with my putting,” explained Marley. “I just putt a lot over at South Suburban. There are all sorts of drills I’ve gotten from my Dad and a couple of his buddies who are PGA guys as well. “I definitely hope to travel my freshman year at UNC and play as many tournaments as I can.”

SPORTS ROUNDUP Valor names new girls hoops coach

Jessika Caldwell, an assistant women’s coach at Colorado Christian University for the past five seasons, is the new head girls basketball coach at Valor Christian. She takes over for Sherryl Klosterman, who resigned with a 79-40 record after five years of coaching the Eagles. Caldwell, a former player at Baylor, inherits a team that went 23-4 last season and advanced to the Class 4A Final Four. Ten players return from the 2013-14 team

including leading scorers Caroline Bryan and Kendall Bradbury.

Jewelry for cross country runners

There will be no restrictions on the jewelry that cross country runners will be allowed to wear this fall. CHSAANow.com reported that the Colorado High School Activities Association has lifted the ban on jewelry in anticipation of a NFHS decision to allow track and field athletes to wear jewelry starting with the

2015 season.

Boys lacrosse title games moved

Because of a scheduling conflict with a college lacrosse tournament, the Class 4A and 5A boys state lacrosse championships games will be contested a day earlier next spring at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. CHSAANow.com stated that instead of the usual Saturday afternoon doubleheader, the title games will be played the evening of May 15, which is a Friday.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF AUG 4, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Technology snafus tax your patience. But before you throw that computer or oth er bulky hardware into the trash, take a deep breath and call someone knowledgeable for help. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Don’t be too upset if your generosity goes unappreciated. These things happen, and rather than brood over it, move on. A new friend could open up some exciting new possibilities. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A loved one helps you get through an especially difficult emotional situation. Spend the weekend immersed in the body and soul restorative powers of music and the other arts.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You are pretty much in charge of what you want to do this week. However, it might be a good idea to keep an open mind regarding suggestions from people you know you can trust. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Another chance to shine (something always dear to the Lion’s heart) might be resented by others. But you earned it, so enjoy it. The weekend brings news about a family member. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A suggestion that never took off could become viable again. Dust it off, update it if necessary, and resubmit it. In your personal life, a new relationship takes an “interesting” turn. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Confronting a new challenge to your stated position could work to your advantage by settling all doubts once you’re able to present a solid defense backed up by equally solid facts. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You enjoy doing nice things for others. But this is a good time to do something nice for yourself as well. You might want to start by planning a super-special getaway weekend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Some changes you feel you need to make might be reasonable and appropriate. But others might lead to new problems. Think things through carefully before you act. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Good instincts usually keep the sure-footed Goat on the right path. So, what others might see as stubbornness on your part, in fact reflects your good sense of what is worth supporting. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A period of introspection could lead to some surprising conclusions -- and also equally surprising changes -- involving a number of your long-held positions on several issues. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) The financially practical Pisces might want to take a sensible approach to spending as well as investing. Being prudent now pays off later. A romantic situation moves into another phase. BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of curiosity keeps you continually alert for what’s new about people, places and things. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
