ith two golf courses, two fishing lakes, trails and a nature preserve among other things, the Regional Park offers more than the setting for the Adams County Fair every year. “The Regional Park hosts over 800 events annually ranging from livestock shows to weddings and quinceaneras (celebration for a girl’s 15th birthday),” said Melanie Snodell, co-fair manager. The park, 9755 Henderson Road in Brighton, has about 310,000 visitors annually, with about 60,000 of those for the county fair, said Kurt Carlson, Regional Park manager. “There are such a variety of things to do here,” he said. “The size, diversity and
wonderful setting just lend itself for a place to get away from the urban setting. We’re kind of a hidden gem out here.” The park used to be home to Henderson Island, which was the first permanent settlement in the South Platte River Valley. In 1859, Jack Henderson built a ranch, trading post and hotel on Henderson Island, according to Wikipedia. The land later became the Denver Poor Farm and was purchased by Adams County from the City and County of Denver on April 11, 1960. “The deed stated the property included about 180 acres that was intended to be used for a golf course, 60 acres to construct a fairgrounds and the remainder for recreational uses,” Carlson said. “Today, the Adams County Regional Park and Fairgrounds encompasses over 1,150 acres and shares the space with the Adams County Historical Society/Museum and two 18-hole Championship Golf Courses (Riverdale Knolls and Dunes).” The golf course clubhouse has a restaurant, banquet facilities and is the home of the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame. “It truly has it all for the serious or novice golfing enthusiast,” Carlson said.

County park still evolving Trail expansion, new fishing lakes on the horizon By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@ourcoloradonews.com The Adams County Regional Park has evolved a lot since it was purchased in 1960. It has gone from 180 to 1,150 acres and the evolution continues. Kurt Carlson, park manager, highlighted two future projects that will add to the park’s attraction for users — the addition of about 300 acres, which will

include three new fishing lakes and extending the South Platte River Trail. “(The 300 acres) has been part of the Regional Park for some time. It used to be farmland, but was mined for gravel since the mid-1980s and will now be reclaimed as three interconnected (lakes),” Carlson said. “Once the area is fully reclaimed, the (lakes) will be filled by a third party.” Of the 300 acres, one lake will have 45 surface acres, a second 59 and the third 56, according to Carlson.

Henry to serve on Child Welfare Prevention Steering Committee Adams County Commissioner Eva
BUSINESS BRIEF
J. Henry was recently invited by the Colorado Department of Human Services to serve on the Child Welfare Prevention Steering Committee for the State of Colorado. The Prevention Steering Committee will serve as the decision-making body for the implementation process of three child abuse and neglect prevention programs: SafeCare, Nurse Family Partnership and Community Response Program. SafeCare is a program for parents who are at-risk or have been reported for child maltreatment. Parents receive weekly home visits to improve skills in several areas, including home safety, health care and parent-child interaction. The Nurse Family Partnership is a community health care program that introduces first-time parents to child health nurses. This program allows nurses to deliver the support first-time moms need to have a healthy pregnancy, become knowledgeable and responsible parents, and provide their babies with the best possible start in life. The Community Response Program helps at-risk families find child care, jobs counseling and other assistance. The steering committee will consist of 18 members with six state representatives, six county representatives and six stakeholders. The members will be divided into two workgroups: Community Response Program and SafeCare/NFP. Meetings have not yet been scheduled; however, the committee will initially meet every two weeks for the first two months and then one day each month thereafter.

Adams County resident chosen Outstanding 4-H Leader of the Year By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ourcoloradonews.com Participating in 4-H has always been a part of Rosie Scanlon’s life. The Adams County resident did the traditional 4-H projects like cooking and sewing as a child, and later got involved with her daughters’ 4-H endeavors — including rabbit judging. After her girls graduated from high school, Scanlon took a short break from 4-H before becoming a 4-H leader. Now, after 21 years of dedicated work as a leader in the program, Scanlon has been named the Adams County Outstanding 4-H Leader of the Year. “It was an amazing surprise,” she said. “There are so many leaders out there who work hard, so this is a very elite honor for me.” Scanlon was nominated by someone in the 4-H community, and then she was interviewed by a judge, before she was chosen as 4-H Leader of the Year. Nominees are judged on years of service, activity level, leadership skills, accomplishments in 4-H and efforts taken above and beyond normal commitment. Melanie Snodell, who works in the Adams County Extension office, said Scanlon is a great choice because she has dedicated so many years to 4-H. “She’s an amazing lady,” Snowdell said. Scanlon is a leader for rabbit judging due
to her daughters’ participation in the program years ago. She says after the girls left home, the rabbits stayed, and now the animals are big part of her life. Not only does she teach youngsters how to thoroughly judge a rabbit, she also personally shows rabbits at shows throughout the state. She has four different types of rabbits she shows: American Sables, French Lops, Cinnamons and Himalayans. Scanlon’s 4H students also show rabbits, along with their rabbit judging program. “Taking care of rabbits and showing rabbits is just as time consuming and important for children as it is for the kids who raise and show the larger livestock like swine and steers,” she said. “The kids with rabbits have a year-long commitment to take care of the animals, feed them and keep their cages clean. It takes a lot of dedication.” Teaching and spending time with youngsters is what kept Scanlon in 4-H for so long. The opportunity to see the light bulb go off in a child is something Scanlon says she truly enjoys. She believes 4-H allows children to learn life skills, and teaches them responsibility and good sportsmanship. “It’s all about having fun and doing your best, and that’s what 4-H teaches the kids,” she said. “If you want a way to broaden a child’s horizon, there’s nothing better than 4-H to start the process.”

City prepares for new Walmart Garland Drive to be reconstructed to handle heavier traffic By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@ourcoloradonews.com The Garland Center as people know it now will soon be only a memory as plans move forward for the building to be demolished to make way for a Walmart Neighborhood Market. David Willett, Northglenn’s acting city manager, told council during its June 3 study session that officials are hoping to be finished with the demolition work within
the first couple weeks of July. After the demolition, city staff wants to prepare Garland Drive for heavier traffic by hiring Asphalt Specialties Co. Inc. to demolish and reconstruct 480 feet of the road from Washington Street west. “The roadway is loaded with utilities and the pavement thickness varies between six and eight inches with only two inches of subbase material,” Willett said. “It’s typical for Northglenn, it’s not typical for heavy truck traffic. This (project) is not milling the roadway; it’s a total rebuild of that section of roadway to be able to handle heavier truck traffic.” Because the property was already zoned for a grocery store and the city is providing no incentives to Wal-Mart, no council vote
District 27J board approves budget Funding set aside for additional staff, computers By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@ourcoloradonews.com The School District 27J Board of Education approved its 201314 budget and it includes funding for dozens of staff positions and technology leases. The board approved the budget by a 6-0 vote during its June 11 regular meeting. The budget has a general fund balance of about $117.7 million, which is an increase of about 6 percent over last year’s budget. The budget includes funding for the lease of 400 new computers for student labs and 66 additional positions. “While the past economy has meant reductions in staff, we don’t necessarily see this as replacing positions or filling vacancies as much as adding jobs to fit the goals of our curriculum focus,” said Kevin Denke, the district’s public information officer. He said the budget anticipates
about $5.7 million in additional state education funding based on the 2013 School Finance Bill, approved by the state legislature. Per-pupil funding for 27J students is expected to increase to about $6,386 per student — that is up from $6,223 from the 201213 school year. “After years of substantial cuts to state education funding, it’s encouraging to see this year’s School Finance Bill provide additional per-pupil funding,” said Superintendent Chris Fiedler. “At the same time, there remain significant disparities in how the education is funded on a state and local level. We must continue to seek solutions to these funding challenges.” Denke added that while it’s good to see the additional perpupil funding, there is still a state budget negative factor in place. For example, the per-pupil funding in 2009-2010 was $6,977. Officials expect the district to see an increase of 513 students for the coming school year, making total enrollment more than 15,000. The approved budget is available at www.sd27j.org.
was needed on the contract, said Jason Rogers, the city’s communication manager. The city has contracted the work with Asphalt Specialties for $236,302.80. The project is not identified in the 2013 Capital Improvement Projects budget. Willett said the city could take a seehow-it-goes approach and not improve the road until after the Walmart is built and it is necessary, however, he cautioned that a street project like what this would entail may be detrimental to business. “It seems we out to be proactive and take care of this now,” said Leslie Carrico, Ward II councilwoman. Mayor Joyce Downing agreed, saying it was prudent for the city to take care of the project now instead of waiting.
“(The road) is not strong enough and it’s going to deteriorate quite rapidly with all the truck traffic,” she said. Willett said it was his understanding that there would be delivery trucks at the store twice a day during business hours. Council and staff also discussed the lack of a deceleration lane going southbound on Washington and how that will impact traffic as shoppers slow down to turn into the parking lot. They also discussed extending the turn lanes on Washington onto Garland. Neither of these road projects is included in this contract. Willett said the plan would be to reconstruct Garland before Walmart is built and if heavy construction trucks damage the road, it would be up to Walmart to repair it.
SCHOOL NOTES District 27J increases breakfast, lunch increases
The School District 27J Board of Education approved the student fee schedule for the 2013-14 school year during its regular meeting June 11. Among the changes to the new fee schedule is an increase in student breakfast and lunch prices for the coming school year. The price of an elementary breakfast will increase from $1.50 to $1.60 and the price of an elementary lunch will increase from $2.25 to $2.35. Middle school and high school breakfast prices will remain $1.75. Middle school lunch will increase from $2.50 to $2.60, and a high school lunch will increase from $2.75 to $2.85. The price increases are due to multiple factors, which include an anticipated 3 to 4 percent increase in food costs. The cost adjustment is also necessary to meet the requirements of the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010, which requires meal prices be increased incre-
mentally. A HHFKA requirement that all students take a fruit or vegetable with their lunch meal has also increased costs. The other change in the fee schedule involves district transportation fees. The fee for district bus transportation will remain $20 per month, per student. The fee, however, will now be based on the student having access to transportation as opposed to a rider fee, which charges students on actual ridership. Fees will be charged to all students who have had a route assigned to them based upon a written request by their parents. Parents may discontinue the access fee for any succeeding month by notifying the transportation department by the 15th day of the month. The fee will be charged from the months of October through May. A $40 per family cost maximum will remain in place. Parents with questions about transportation fees can contact
the 27J Transportation Department at 303-655-2990.

So finding 100 adults willing to be a con-mentor should be a cinch. and This is the mindset Adams e theCounty Youth Initiative Director air it. Becky Hoffman has as the organization prepares for the first ever Friend-Raiser from 5:30-7 p.m. Thursday, June 27, at Baker St.
Pub, 2831 W. 120th Ave. in Westminster. “We hope this event will broaden community support for the positive, life-changing effect mentoring could have for kids here in Adams County,” Hoffman said. “Kids need a voice of reason, someone who will listen to them, someone who will ultimately cheer them on. Mentors can fill that role.” Hoffman said there are mentoring organizations that would love to reach out to the youth in Adams County, but that there aren’t enough volunteers here to do that. ACYI’s goal is to get 100 people to volunteer as mentors to work
with Metro Denver Partners, Save Our Youth, Senior Hub and Young Life. Trudy Swain with Save Our Youth said some people may be hesitant to volunteer because of misconceptions about the time needed to be a mentor and concerns over finances. “Setting aside 1-2 hours a week is doable and will actually impact the life of the mentor as well as the life of the child,” she said. “Mentoring is all about building a healthy relationship with a young person. Most mentoring organizations have free tickets they make available to mentors for special activities. Otherwise, mentoring is about finding ways to interact
Businesses moving to Northglenn By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@ourcoloradonews.com A music company, brewery and a Vietnamese restaurant are among several new businesses that have opened in Northglenn. Debbie Tuttle, the city’s economic development manager, gave city council an economic development update at its June 10 regular meeting. She highlighted the recent ribbon cuttings and the new business licenses issued by the city — including one for Colorado Sun Tofu at 10651 Irma Drive, Unit A. “It’s the only tofu manufacturer and distributor in Colorado right here in Northglenn,” Tuttle said. The other licenses issued include: • America’s Best Contacts and Eye Glasses, 421 W. 104th Ave. in the Marketplace; • High Class Auto Glass Inc., 10750 Irma Drive, Unit 4; Nuthouse Studio, 558 Malley Drive (provides recording, mixing and mastering services); • Apple Liquors at the Huron Center, 104th Avenue and Huron Street. Beer by Design, 2100 E. 112th Ave., had a soft opening June 1 and will have a grand opening June 28.

said. She pointed out that there are more than 100,000 children under 18 in Adams County. “Almost half of those kids qualify for free and reduced lunch,” she said. “We have a lot of kids in Adams County and a lot of kids that are at-risk.” Swain added, “The bottom line is that our young people are in trouble. They are struggling to graduate from high school and have few role models to help them figure out how to live life successfully.” For more information on mentoring opportunities, visit www. acyi.org or call 720-972-3876.

Other ribbon cuttings include: • Demi’s Treasures & Thrift Store, 1454 W. 104th Ave.; • Old Wagon Antique Mall, 10685 Melody Drive — this mall has more than 111 vendors that sells various new, pre-owned and collector items; • Saigon Basil is a family-operated Vietnamese restaurant at 10665 Melody; • The family-owned Sugar Bean Bakery opened up at 2145 E. 120th Ave., Unit. 1A. Tuttle also highlighted a new four-week, hands-on workshop the city is offering to the first five businesses to register for website training. “Northglenn is a very much entrepreneurial city and has a lot of startups,” she said. “One of the things we discovered is that a lot of our startups don’t have the ability to do their own websites, and as we know, having a website presence is extremely important.” She added that the city may offer more classes in the future, even for home-based businesses, depending on the success of the first workshop.

Protecting kids heads, keeping them safe is critical How can adults help children be physically active outside and do the things they love while keeping them safe?

What is Traumatic Brain Injury?
According to the Center for Disease Control a “Traumatic Brain Injury is caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain. Not all blows or jolts to the head result in a TBI. The majority of TBI’s that occur each year are concussions or other forms of mild TBI.” A concussion is one type of TBI caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that can change the way your brain normally works. Concussions can also occur from a fall or a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move quickly back and forth. Concussions are usually not life-threatening. Even so, their effects can be serious.
Families Can Help
Experts ask families be informed and stay informed about ever changing research. The cdc.gov site is an excellent place to keep informed. The site also offers free training for coaches and teachers. Second, families must know the signs of concussion. According to the CDC, “Most people with a concussion recover quickly and fully. In general, recovery may be slower among older adults, young children, and teens. Those who have had a concussion in the past are also at risk of having another one and may find that it takes longer to recover if they have another concussion.” Symptoms fall into four categories: thinking/ remembering, physical, emotional /mood, and sleep. Young children may not understand or be able to explain how they feel. See the cdc.gov website for a full description of each
symptom and recommendations. Children are injured by what they do most frequently — riding a bike, scooter, or skateboard. In winter add sledding, skiing, and other sports. Organized sports have rules for safety and train coaches. It is the everyday fun activities that require families to
be educated, aware, and involved. Neurosurgeons, advocates for children wearing bike helmets, say families can provide helmets that fit and insist children wear that equipment. The bike and helmet go together. Fitting is important-- snug but not too tight. The padding should be fresh not dried up. If anything is loose or spins, replace the helmet. A little known fact is most helmets are designed for absorbing strong impact ONE time. If a helmet should crack, it must be replaced to offer protection. Grandparents and parents can help by inspecting helmets and replacing them, if needed. What a great gift to help keep loved ones safe. Esther Macalady is a former teacher, who lives in Golden, and participates in the Grandparents Teach Too writing group.

Volunteers at the ready when wildfires rage Unfortunately, we know the smoke all too well. Amid dry grass and strong winds, a wildfire struck Colorado again last week, consuming more than 480 homes and leaving two dead seemingly in the blink of an eye in the Black Forest area near Colorado Springs. Family after family grabbed photos first then bundled other treasures in an evacuation estimated at 40,000 people — about the size of the population of cities like Parker, Littleton or Northglenn. Meanwhile, other fires continued to burn across the state. Once again the smell of smoke reached the northern confines of our
our view Colorado Community Media coverage area in Westminster — much like the Hayman fire of 2002, which smoke could be smelled more than 100 miles away. We had hoped the loss of about 330 homes and property caused by that blaze would not happen again. So here go again. Many know the drills by heart — how to help, how to stay safe, how to comfort others.
question of the week
Do you agree with the Nuggets’ decision to fire Coach George Karl? Folks who were enjoying the day on Wheat Ridge’s 38th avenue were evenly split as to whether it was in the best interest of the organization to part ways with the veteran coach.

We heartily commend all the people, agencies and organizations that always step up so quickly to help others. Fairground facilities and associated volunteers were so quick to take in animals, and donated food and essentials always seem to show up pronto. We are not surprised at the energy and commitment of volunteers and firefighters — who are always at the ready. That’s Colorado. Many of these seasoned vets also are not surprised by the wildfires, and even express surprise that wildfires don’t happen more often. Various ways to reduce wildfires are discussed, but increased preventive mea-
Proposed Westminster Center dubious venture There is an old song lyric that goes, “Time you’re a villain. Time you’re a thief.” And time is a growing villain in the apparent stagnant progress on the former Westminster Mall site known as “Westminster Center.” We keep being told by Westminster officials that there is an announcement forthcoming on an agreement and major anchors for the mixed use development plan envisioned by Westminster staff. The “game” of expected announcements on a deal with a master developer has been ongoing for about two years now. The latest missed date was in May when the buzz among the development community and city officials was that details would be unveiled at the annual International Shopping Center Convention in Las Vegas. It’s OK to tell the public that things aren’t going according to plan. A little transparency would go a long way.
CREDIBILITY IS BEING ERODED
The lack of substantive progress by the city and the current developer about reaching an agreement and announcing the first phase of development is damaging the credibility of Mayor McNally and all city council members, City Manager Brent McFall and those city staff involved in the project. I know they will not appreciate my statement, but this issue needs to be raised now before the November election. City Council and the mayor should be held accountable for having spent approximately $35 Million in taxpayer money to acquire the mall property — along with the demolition — and still not have an executed agreement with some developer. What gives? The start of first phase development plans is overdue by the city staff’s own earlier pronouncements.

sures is a talk for another time. But for today, we simply commend all who are so ready, willing and able to help. And for those wanting to donate or volunteer, please seek out your local agencies, or more broadly, the American Red Cross is a good place to start by visiting www.redcross.org/co/denver or calling 1-800-REDCROSS. But before reaching out with helping hands, be sure to cover your own bases too — sign up for your respective county emergency alert system, have a kit prepared for emergencies and be ready to leave quickly in case of emergency. Safety first.
I would suggest that the current mayor and the four mayoral candidates — Herb Atchison, Bob Briggs, Mary Lindsey and Scott Major — each explain to the public where things stand, what is the likelihood of development taking place at 88th
Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard, when and at what cost. Furthermore, the four candidates need to tell Westminster voters their respective plans about the stagnant development if he or she would be the next Westminster mayor and a “Plan B” is needed if negotiations fail. Westminster has some critical issues and all four candidates need to stand tall, express their plans, show their leadership capabilities and convince us who deserves the nod for mayor in November.
DROP THE THIRD TERM IDEA
The Thornton City Council has unveiled four potential ballot issues for this coming November’s election. One of them would add a third term of office (an additional four years) for city council representatives if elected. Currently, all city council members are term limited after two, four-year terms just like Northglenn, Westminster and other area city councils. Thornton voters overwhelmingly rejected the same proposal in 2005 by a healthy 75 percent margin in voting. What makes the council think it would be any different this time? Since when does it matter what the length of term of office is between two governmental bodies? Mayor Heidi Williams’ comment of “we want to be sure the city is aligned with the county and is able to make decisions for long-term planning” falls way short of a sound justification. It looks quite self-serving to me. I would suggest you torpedo that idea! Bill Christopher is former city manager of Westminster and used to represent District J on the RTD board of directors.

They can plan just as well under the eight-year term limit that they now have. Through the years my thinking has evolved into being in favor of the eightyear limit. Honestly, if they can’t get the job done in eight years, and if they need more time, than maybe the city needs a new council.

In 1911 when the City of Westminster was formed, the council wisely decided to make it a nonpartisan election. Under that rule council candidates must run for office without declaring a political party to run on. But does that mean a clear “no” to partisan politics for the council candidates? Of course not! Right now as you read this column, the political ducks are paddling like heck under the nonpartisan status banner while working like crazy to get candidates who are being courted by party officials and term-limited councilors. It is so downright disgusting to see our nonpartisan statues being eroded by ugly partisan underground politics. It makes me sick to learn of the behind-
the-scenes efforts that are being practiced. If this practice is not stopped immediately, I for one will not support these people. Our best form of government has stood the test of time since 1911 and it should continue. Right now I ask council and mayoral candidates to pledge to run as an unaffiliated candidate — and if they won’t do that — then maybe we don’t need them representing us on city council. This matter crops up every city council election cycle and it’s got to stop. Folks, pass the “no” button right now and let’s find out whose horse is being ridden.
Quote of the week
“No, no and No!” Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned
... Vi June is past Democratic state representative for House District 35. She is a former mayor of Westminster and a former newspaper publisher. A Westminster resident for more than four decades, she and her husband, Bob, have five grown children and eight grandchildren.
Don’t lie to me about my rights actually are If you tweeted recently that you used your mom’s breaded pork chop recipe for dinner, blogged about your vacation in China, or posted your status to family and friends that you’re recovering from food poisoning you got at that restaurant in Tucson, chances are good that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security got your messages too. That’s because “China,” “food poisoning,” “Tucson,” and even “pork” are among the hundreds of words and phrases included in the Department’s 2011 Analyst’s Desktop Binder, used to monitor social networking sites and online media. Department of Homeland Security officials were forced to release the manual following a hearing in the House of Representatives over documents obtained by a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. I find it particularly ironic that we as Americans must use Freedom of Information to find out that we’re being spied upon. Worse, it’s now even more evident that we should simply expect anything we say or write to be monitored by the government. (The National Security Agency’s clandestine collection of our phone and email records is another chilling chapter yet unfolding.) And, although I for one am not ready to accept this systematic, ongoing, and illconceived surveillance, the DHS manual makes it frighteningly clear that government analysts patrol social media searching, as they say, for “terrorist and domestic threats” against the U.S. To be fair, the DHS says part of its

I have a small dome shaped object that plays “no” in about a dozen ways. The last verse states “what part of no don’t you understand?” And that’s how I feel about several issues rearing their ugly head these days in our communities.
keyword watch program is to monitor for natural disasters and weather-related emergency situations. Thus the words “tremor,” “lightning,” “blizzard,” and — horrifying to us here in Colorado yet again — “wildfire” on the list in the Analyst’s Desktop Binder. Similarly, health-related watch words include the innocuous “flu,” “wave,” and “symptoms.” Yet beyond these broad, vague, and ambiguous words on their watch list, I wonder why the DHS doesn’t just follow 24/7/365 breaking news on the Internet for their information about emergencies. When the first tweets about the Black Forest fire appeared, did someone at a desk in D.C. leap up to start the emergency response? If I were a betting woman, I’d put money on the fact that Colorado citizens and Colorado media sounded the alarm. The DHS denies that attention to personal (and ostensibly private) communication is aimed at policing the Internet for disparaging remarks about the government.

I do believe that nothing on the Internet is private. I also believe that my government should not be profiling my posts. Nevertheless, the DHS monitors all communication on our social sites and online media. When government officials — who are necessarily more knowledgeable than I am about such matters — believe it’s necessary to monitor words such as “cloud,” “relief,” and “smart” in some incongruous version of Words with Friends, so be it. Just don’t tell me that I can choose who sees what on my social sites. Don’t lie to me about what my rights
actually are. And although “privacy,” “free speech,” and “Fourth Amendment” aren’t on the DHS watch list — yet — the word “threat” is. Which is interesting because “threat” is now at the top of my personal word watch list, right after the phrase “Bill of Rights.” Andrea Doray is a writer who advocates for Benjamin Franklin’s belief that to give up a little liberty to gain a little security is to deserve neither and lose both.

Northglenn woman dies in canyon crash By Glenn Wallace
gwallace@ourcoloradonews. com
This vehicle was removed from Clear Creek a few miles west of Golden on June 12. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the driver as Elizabeth Ruth Lucero, 60, from Northglenn. Emergency responders found Lucero inside the car, and U.S. 6 was closed for several hours during the recovery operation. Photo courtesy of the City of Golden.
thorNtoN police briefs Criminal impersonation: An officer was dispatched May 31 at 10:25 p.m. to the intersection of East 119th Way and Birch Drive in reference to a domestic disturbance. The reporting party said a woman was yelling at someone on the phone while inside her car. The officer contacted the woman and was given a fictitious date of birth and identification. It was learned the information was that of the woman’s sister, a 31-year-old Aurora woman. A run of her true identity revealed outstanding warrants out of Denver. She was taken into custody, processed and later transported to the Adams County jail. Shoplifting: A 23-year-old Fort Lupton woman and a 22-year-old Brighton woman were arrested June 1 at 2:13 p.m. after they tried to steal $72 in merchandise from Gordman’s at 10001 N. Grant St. A loss prevention officer saw the two women remove clothing items from hangers, roll them up and place them into their purses. The women were issued summonses and later released. Theft: An officer was dispatched June 3 at 11:31 a.m. to Bradley’s gas station at 8875 N. Washington St. in reference to an employee theft. The station supervisor said that a 53-year-old Federal Heights woman who was employed at the station allegedly stole $206 from the register drawer. The woman was issued a summons and later released. DUI, careless driving, hit and run: Officers were dispatched June 4 at 9 p.m. to the intersection of Thornton Parkway and Welby Road to investigate a hit and run that occurred there. While officers were en route, a white Ford van was seen fleeing the scene. A run of the license plate information provided by witnesses led the officers to the address of registration in the 9100 block of Beechwood Drive. A van with fresh damage was found in the driveway, and a 50-year-old Thornton woman was contacted there. She had a strong odor of alcohol on her breath and was positively identified as the van driver based on witness description. She was taken into custody, processed and later released to a responsible party. Trespassing: Officers were dispatched June 5 at 10:30 p.m. to Silver Creek Elementary School at 15101 Filmore St. in reference to juveniles on the roof of the building. A security guard saw two males running when the officers arrived. Two other men, both 19-year-olds from Thornton, were contacted on the roof by officers after they tried to hide from them. The men were taken into custody, issued summonses and later released. A black backpack containing marijuana was found on the roof. Items in the police reports are compiled from public information contained in police department records. Charges or citations listed don’t imply guilt or innocence, and all people are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

A woman died in the early morning hours of June 12 when the vehicle she was driving went off the roadway in Clear Creek Canyon and was found submerged in the waters of Clear Creek. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Elizabeth Ruth Lucero, 60, from Northglenn. Emergency responders found Lucero inside the car, and U.S. 6 was closed for several hours during the recovery operation. The Colorado State Patrol is investigating the cause of the crash. Golden Dispatch received a call from a motorist on U.S. 6 at 6:16 a.m. The caller said she saw a car go over the edge of the road in Clear Creek Canyon. “By the time (the caller) got out and looked over the edge, the car just wasn’t there,” Battalion Chief
Jerry Stricker said. Emergency responders arrived on scene and eventually found the vehicle, — a silver Ford sedan — about a quarter mile downstream from where it exited the roadway. It was found near mile marker 268. Stricker said only the radio antenna was visible above the water line. Wednesday afternoon the Clear Creek Canyon roadway was closed. About two dozen West Metro Fire and Golden Fire personnel responded to the scene. Fire and rescue workers entered the water, and attached tow ropes to the car. “It was a difficult. A technical (recovery) that took a few hours,” Golden Public Information Officer Karlyn Tilley said. “Our crews are some of the most well-trained in water rescue so they’re often called in for these types of (situations).” Stricker said the water volume in Clear Creek likely was at its annual peak the morning of the accident.
Explosion wrecks 2 homes, damages others By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ourcoloradonews.com No one was seriously injured in a natural gas explosion in Westminster that destroyed two houses and damaged four others. The explosion occurred around 11:30 a.m. on June 13 near 92nd Avenue and Ingalls Street. Homes nearby also experienced damage and many were temporarily evacuated. The two leveled homes are complete losses. “There were two minor injuries reported,” said Westminster Fire Department Public Information officer Diana Wilson. Xcel Energy confirmed the gas line going into the home was not compromised, so they believe the explosion may have come from inside the home — possibly from a faulty appliance. Throughout the day there were three people unaccounted for, but they were found safely the following morning. Power and gas service was also turned off in the neighborhood as a precautionary measure as authorities investigated the scene. The blast shook many buildings
A home explosion on June 13 near 92 Avenue and Ingalls Street in Westminster left one house leveled and another extremely damaged. The cause of the explosion is suspected to be natural gas, which also left surrounding homes damaged due to the blow. Photo by Ashley Reimers and homes nearby, some even blocks away. Russ Kraus, who works at in a bank building at 92nd Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard said he could feel an intense shake when the explosion happened. “I could definitely feel something, I thought it was a car crashing into the
building or something,” he said. “It almost felt like an earthquake. I lived in San Francisco, and I never felt anything this strong before.” According to the Westminster Fire Department’s Facebook page, the department is working with the families affected by the explosion on how to deal with the situation.
Book inspired by childhood memory Author’s book shares tips for kids on stranger safety By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ourcoloradonews.com Inspired by a powerful childhood memory, one Westminster woman is sharing her lesson learned with parents and children though a new book focused on the importance of awareness and being safe. The Woman in the Yellow Hat is a story about a little girl who wanders out of her backyard following a butterfly down the street. Soon the little girl realizes she doesn’t know where she is and she’s gone too far. The story relates to what happened to Reina Payne as a child when she wandered off and was caught in a somewhat scary situation.
Reina Payne from Westminster is signing copies of her new book “The Woman in the Yellow Hat” at Barnes & Noble in Westminster. Courtesy photo Because of this experience and after having children of her own, Payne decided to write The Woman in the Yellow Hat in an effort to help children understand the importance of using their senses and their intuition.
“After watching my kids play in the neighborhood I saw how easily they could get distracted and get totally immersed in the world around them,” she said. “They can go anywhere without realizing it and become lost or something even worse. That worried me as a mom, so I decided to write a book that could help teach kids to be aware of their surroundings and follow their intuition to get back where they need to be.” Payne started writing the book eight years ago, giving herself plenty of time to find the appropriate storyline and wording. She said she had to come up with a story that was playful, not scary, that would teach a valuable lesson to children about the importance of using their senses to get back to where they need to be if they get lost.
“I believe the book is a good resource for parents to explain something serious in a playful and understandable way,” she said. “These types of situations can be scary, so I had to make sure and get my point across without being too intense.” The Woman in the Yellow Hat also touches on the differences in strangers giving children tips on who is appropriate to connect with and who is not. Payne will be sharing her book with the community during a reading and book signing June 22 from 12-3 p.m. at Barnes & Noble, 9370 Sheridan Blvd. in Westminster. She will be reading the book during the first hour and will then be signing copies. The book can also be purchased online at www. tatepublishing.com.

It had near-perfect burnt orange shag carpet, which ran up the walls to the ceiling, pristine iron and orange stained glass light fixtures with swagged chains draped from the ceilings. There was this huge wet bar perfectly preserved from the 70’s with dark wood wainscoting and orange countertops… it was classic…the clients and I laughed and ooh’d and aww’d the whole tour.

Money Matters:
Ac A Ju
What is a PMI and will I need it? P
rimary mortgage insurance, or PMI, protects lenders in the event that borrowers default on their primary mortage by ceasing to make payments, resulting in homes ending up in foreclosure. But all borrowers do not have to pay PMI. Typically, home buyers must make a 20 percent down payment on a home when they buy it. However, some borrowers are unable to put down 20 percent. In such instances, the lender will require they
pay PMI. This is because the lender views a borrower who cannot make an initial 20 percent down payment as a riskier investment, and lenders charge PMI in an effort to protect themselves should the borrower prove worthy of their skepticism. PMI will be factored into the monthly mortgage payment, but borrowers should know they do not have to continue paying PMI once they have paid enough toward the principal amount of the loan.
8 Little 303
acad
APC
For most, this means once they have paid 20 percent of the principal, then they can ask that the monthly PMI payment be removed.

June 20, 2013 Brazilian lemonade Ingredients -2 limes -1/2 cup sugar -3 cups water -ice
California Grilled Veggie Sandwich Ingredients
Directions
-1/4 cup mayonnaise -1 tablespoon lemon juice
1. In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside in the refrigerator.
-1/8 cup olive oil
2. Preheat the grill for high heat.
-1 cup sliced red bell peppers
3. Brush vegetables with olive oil on each side. Brush grate with oil. Place bell peppers and zucchini closest to the middle of thegrill, and set onion and squash pieces around them.
5. Spread some of the mayonnaise mixture on the cut sides of the bread, and sprinkle each one with feta cheese. Place on the grill cheese side up, and cover with lid for 2 to 3 minutes. This will warm the bread, and slightly melt the cheese. Watch carefully so the bottoms don’t burn.
4. Cook for about 3 minutes, turn, and cook for another 3 minutes. The peppers may take a bit longer.
6. Remove from grill, and layer with the vegetables. Enjoy as open faced grilled sandwiches.

Method
For the cake:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease an 8-inch springform pan. Set aside. 2. Sift together the 2 cups of flour, the baking powder and the salt. Set aside. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg. Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the milk. Toss the beries with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour (to separate and scatter evenly throughout the batter) and fold in. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Set aside. 3. Combine ingredients for topping with a fork to make crumbly mixture. Sprinkle this over the batter. 4. Bake for one hour, then test for doneness by gently inserting a fork. If it does not come out clean, give the cake another 5 to 10 minutes to bake. 5. When the cake has cooled, run a knife around the edges and lift the cake out of the pan. Serve with whipped cream.
-2 cups and 1-2 Tbsp of sifted, all purpose flour separated -2 teaspoons baking powder -1/2 teaspoon salt -1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened -3/4 cup sugar -1 large egg -1/2 cup milk -1 pint blueberries For the topping: -1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened -1/2 cup sugar -1/3 cup sifted all purpose flour -1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Five-Spice Turkey and Lettuce Wraps Ingredients -1/2 cup(s) water -1/2 cup(s) instant brown rice -2 teaspoon(s) sesame oil -1 pound(s) 93%-lean ground turkey -1 tablespoon(s) minced fresh ginger
-1 large red bell pepper, finely diced -1 cup(s) water chestnuts, rinsed and chopped
-1/2 teaspoon(s) salt -2 head(s) Boston lettuce, leaves separated
-1/2 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth -2 tablespoon(s) hoisin sauce
-1/2 cup(s) chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, mint and/ or chives
-1 teaspoon(s) five-spice powder
-1 large carrot, shredded
Directions 1. Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add rice; reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. 2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey and ginger; cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Stir in the cooked
rice, bell pepper, water chestnuts, broth, hoisin sauce, five-spice powder and salt; cook until heated through, about 1 minute. 3. To serve, spoon portions of the turkey mixture into lettuce leaves, top with herbs and carrot and roll into wraps.
2. Melt the margarine and honey together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Do not let the sauce boil. 3. Thread a peach quarter, a plum quarter, a banana piece, and a strawberry onto each skewer. Place the skewers onto the foil on the preheated grill; spoon margarine-honey mixture over each skewer. 4. Grill until the fruit is softened and the sauce has thickened and cooked onto the fruit, about 5 minutes. Flip the skewers, spoon more margarine-honey sauce over each, and grill for about 5 more minutes on the other side.

According to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website, http://parks.state. co.us, more than 270 miles of the trail have been finished, which represents one-third of the corridor. “There are currently two missing links of the South Platte River Trail in Adams County— a section of trail needs to be constructed
on the northern end from Brighton Road/E-470 to Brighton and from 120th to 104th avenues (just south of the Regional Park),” Carlson said. “The trail is complete from 140th to Chatfield Reservoir. Once the two missing links are completed, a trail user could potentially start in Brighton and take the trail southwest until you reach Chatfield Reservoir in Littleton and beyond.”

because they think that their marriage has been blessed by God tend to stay together — whether they love each other (and enjoy each other’s company) or not. People who stay together because their marriage has been sanctioned by the law are, on the whole, less committed to remain together when the going gets really tough. People who are psychologically married will fight with everything they’ve got to preserve the relationship and to avoid a divorce. They tend to feel more intense and more passionate toward each other than either of the others. If all three of these marriages are aligned and connected, you are likely to be a very stable couple. But what happens when they’re not aligned? What happens, for instance, when one person acts as if
they’ve psychologically divorced the other, but they in fact remain married — which is what you’ve described. So let me state the obvious: If one person psychologically divorces the other, the most important and most vital marriage is essentially over, even if you stay together. That means you might stay bonded in the eyes of God and the law, but your relationship ceases to be close and compelling, and the two of you will grow more distant, less affectionate, less intimate. If you are psychologically married, but you’re not confident your spouse is, make a serious attempt at addressing what has happened. Ask her what distanced her from you, and what she would need in order to consider coming back to you. Ask her: “Are you getting your needs met in this relationship? If not, what would you like different?” and “What could I do — or stop doing — that would make this relationship considerately better for you than it is now?” You have to be willing to listen to her answers without anger, defensiveness or any retaliatory comebacks. Your goal is to understand what she is feeling and what she would like differ-
ent, not to defend yourself or justify your actions. Are her requests things that you might be willing to do? If so, you increase the chances that the two of you will be able to rekindle the relationship. If she has no serious requests of substance or significance, your relationship may have crossed the line where it is unlikely to be resuscitated no matter what you do. See if you can assist your relationship in warming up, by also doing such things as inviting her out on a date, holding hands, hugging, saying “I love you,” leaving her sweet messages and being kind and considerate of her. If none of this works, are you prepared to spend the rest of your life married but psychologically divorced?

Postseason failures meant Karl had to go George “The Animal” Steele was a professional wrestler and a bald-headed maniac. He had these crazy, unorthodox ring antics that would confuse the heck out of his opponents — especially during his fits of rage where he would use his mouth to rip the stuffing out of a turnbuckle. Steele’s bizarre behavior endeared him to a generation of wrestling fans. And I thought of him while I was watching another George — Karl, that is — coach his Denver Nuggets against the Minnesota Timberwolves earlier this year. When Nuggets guard Ty Lawson got called for a ridiculous foul, George “The Coach” Karl when ballistic in a way that would have made George “The Animal” blush. Arms flailing, his balding head turning beet red, Karl shoved his own players and assistant coaches out of his way during an epic, obscenity-laced tirade aimed at one of the referees. The whole thing really should have been played out in a steel cage instead of on a basketball court. It was a sight to see. And no one throws a fit quite like Karl. We won’t see Furious George on the Nuggets sideline any more. He was fired earlier this month. And while I’ll miss Karl’s theatrics, Nuggets president Josh Kroenke was right to put the sleeper hold on George’s tenure in Denver.
Yes, Karl has won a whole lot of games in his 25-year NBA head coaching career. He’s amassed more than 1,100 regularseason wins and has gone 21 straight years without having a losing record. Under Karl, the Nuggets won 423 games and made the playoffs in each of his nine seasons. That success included this season’s 57 regular-season-win team, a feat that earned Karl Coach of the Year honors. The Nuggets were a high-octane machine under Karl and were one of the youngest and most exciting teams in the NBA. They may not have had a superstar, but they had incredible depth at every position. So, Karl did some very good things in Denver. But a funny thing happens to Karl’s Nuggets every postseason. They lose — a lot. When the Nuggets lost to Golden State last month, it became the eighth time in
nine seasons that Denver exited the first round of the playoffs under Karl’s leadership. And, according to ESPN Stats and Information, 41 teams in the history of the NBA won at least 31 of their final 40 regular-season games in an 82-game season. Of those teams, only six of them lost in the first round of the playoffs. Karl coached three of those squads. Oh, sure. Nuggets ball is a blast in the regular season. They score a whole lot of points and all their fans get tacos. But trying to play Taco Tempo in the postseason only leads to a heck of a lot of heartburn. Good teams pack the paint against Denver, forcing the Nuggets to play a half-court game. Without quality shooters, Denver — already The Team That Couldn’t Shoot Straight — becomes a clueless gang of Sixth Men. And the Nuggets didn’t just lose to Golden State, they got lit up like a kite being flown by Benjamin Franklin. They couldn’t stop Stephen Curry. Heck, the Nuggets couldn’t stop Ann Curry. Denver gave up 100 or more points against the Warriors four times that series, including a 131-point disaster in Game Two. And how did Karl respond to what the underdog Warriors threw at his Nuggets team? What were his adjustments? I dunno. I still don’t know what Karl was up to that series.
Karl’s coaching against Golden State reminded me of the scene in Mel Brooks’ “History of the World Part I,” where penniless Frenchmen tried to sell everything from rats to apple cores during the heartless reign of King Louis XVI, just before the French Revolution occurred. “Nothing,” one vagabond shouted to passersby. “I got absolutely nothing for sale!” And he actually stood next to a sign that said so. George Karl had absolutely nothing against Golden State. The only thing missing was the sign. I admire the courage that Karl showed during his two fights with cancer. He’s a survivor and I admire his refusal to let cancer win. And, like George “The Animal” Steele, Karl was fun to watch. And Nuggets games at the Pepsi Center were must-see events. George Steele put fans in the seats, too. But his style never amounted to anything beyond that of a novelty act. And now, after yet another Nuggets postseason collapse under Karl, fans are left with a bad taste in their mouths — one that tastes an awful lot like turnbuckle stuffing.

Art exhibits at Arvada Center challenge viewers perception By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com Colors, lines and patterns are some of the basic building blocks of art, but so much can be accomplished with these three elements. New exhibits at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., all examine the ways artists use these elements to intrigue and exercise the eye. Perception: Color │ Line │ Pattern collects the works of 21 artists who experiment with these elements. Victor Vasarely — Works on paper and Yaacov Agam — Works on paper, take a look at two masters of the craft. All three exhibits run through Aug. 25 in the Center’s three galleries. Both Vasarely and Agam are fathers of the “op” art movement, which sprung out of the abstract and minimalist styles, hitting its peak in the 1960s, according to curatorial assistant Kristin Bueb. “I really connect the op movement with the kinetic movement because they both rely on movement in unique ways,” said Arvada Center exhibition manager and curator Collin Parson. “We received the works from collector David Goodman, and this collection has never been shown before.” Parson noted that both Vasarely and Agam were painters, and what is on display is screen prints of their works. Bueb said that both artists were interested in using colors, lines and patterns to create a new artistic language — a goal Vasarely succeed in with his “Alphabet Plastique.” In this language, colors and shapes — the alphabet’s letters — are manipulated

“Iridium” by Jennifer Lynch.
Fifteen Denver-area chefs were fired up June 12 to compete for top slider honors during the fifth annual Hot Rocks Griller Challenge at Elway’s Cherry Creek, a benefit for the Denver Health Foundation. Roughly 1,000 attendees scarfed down sliders made from between-the-bun ingredients that varied from wild boar (Elise Wiggins, Panzano) to country ham with pickled green tomato (Jennifer Jasinski, Rioja, Bistro Vendome, Euclid Hall) to grilled watermelon (Paul Reilly, Beast + Bottle). The winners of the slider smackdown were determined by popular vote as well as chefs’ choice. People’s choice: First — Tyler Wiard and Aniedra Nichols of Elway’s Cherry Creek. Second — Troy Guard of TAG, TAG Raw Bar and TAG Burger Bar. Third — Steve Ballas of Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs. Chefs’ choice: First — Troy Guard. Second — Max MacKissock of Squeaky Bean. Third — Jennifer Jasinski of Rioja, Bistro Vendome and Euclid Hall. Worth noting: I’ve attended all five Hot Rocks events, and this year the chefs kicked it up a notch on the side dishes that accompanied the sliders. Standouts included Guard’s five-grain salad, Robert Bogart’s (Elway’s Downtown) potato and black bean salad (I heard one slider slurper say, “I wish I could buy that stuff!”), Reilly’s braised collard greens and Jasinski’s mixed melon salad.

Many of the works leap out at the viewer, and what can be seen in the art will change as the viewer’s perspective does. The influence of Vasarely and Agam can still be found in modern art, and has branched out into the fashion world, as well. “We have some examples of fashion influenced by Vasarely’s designs on display,” Bueb said. “Even as recently as this year, you can still see they way the fashion world has used his designs.” To compliment the Vasarely and Agam exhibits, the Perception exhibition brings together 21 artists and spans 63 years (the oldest work is from 1951).

Did the Paramount Theatre, downtown Denver’s historical performance center, change its name to Paramount New York? It did for one day. On June 12, Hollywood moved east to the Mile High City to shoot the feature film “Dear Eleanor,” starring Jessica Alba, Luke Wilson, Paul Johansson, Ione Skye, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Isabelle Fuhrman. The production caused quite a stir among downtown workers and passersby who spotted the new name on the marquee as well as all the vintage automobiles parked along Glenarm Place. The storyline follows two best friends who travel cross-country in the 1960s to meet Eleanor Roosevelt, their childhood hero. Other Denver venues playing cameo roles in the movie are LoDo and the Mayan Theater. One local notable who landed a part in the film is Rekha Ohal, the exotic and lovely piano player who is a regular at Elway’s Cherry Creek. Ohal posted on her Facebook page: “My gig today: playing the part of a piano player in 1962 for a movie that’s being filmed in Denver. At least I know how to play the piano! The rest I’ll have to figure out as I go along.” For more details on the Denver-centric movie, go to www.onlocationvacations. com/2013/06/12/dear-eleanor-starringjessica-alba-spotted-filming-in-downtown-denver-co-today/.

Girls hoops contest ends with lopsided 71-34 score Skyview’s Malacarne makes strong effort By Scott Stocker
Special to Colorado Community Media

Elbert’s Logan Franek and Simla’s Kenzi Mitchell were somewhat split on their reactions to the June 8 Colorado High School Coaches girls All-State basketball game. Yet, both were extremely happy to be included on their respective rosters. Franek played for the Black team, which came through for a much easier than expected 71-34 victory over the White. Mitchell, in this case, played for the White. “It was just a lot of fun and I was able to play on a great team,” said Franek, who only scored six points, but was an effective force in rebounding. “The key for me definitely was rebounding. I just wanted to get the ball and go from there. We just had a lot of talent and there certainly were a lot of girls here this week with all
their variety of talents. It was just a fine week.” The Black, coached by Frank Haist and Larry Blondin of Vanguard School in Colorado Springs, was able to establish a 15-10 first-quarter lead. Then their squad really answered the defensive bell, holding the White, coached by Denver Christian’s Beck Mudd, to a single three-point basket in the second quarter. That particular basket was scored by Ifti Dunne of Mesa Ridge, who would also be the only player in double figures for the White team with 10 points. It was a basket that left the White trailing 30-13 at the half. Mitchell was the secondleading scorer for the White team with seven. And it certainly wasn’t her night, unlike the many fine games she had this season for Simla. “Just being able to play with all these different players was great and we had a lot of fun,” Mitchell said. “I’m just excited to be able to play sports and excited to be here. The key today, though, is that I don’t think we really had one. We just couldn’t get going
when we needed to. But credit the other team. They were able to move the ball and that’s about it.” Vanguard’s Bailey Haist was able to have a fine night scoring a game-high 16 points that included a trio of 3-pointers. Sierra’s Selina Barnes contributed 15 points for the winners. “Just a good night for all of us and nice to help coach win it, too,” Haist said. “You can’t be sure what will happen in special games such as these, but to play well is all that any of us could ask for.” Skyview’s Laura Malacarne was also a strong player for the White on the boards, but certainly wished she could have had more points. “It was an exciting experience and something I will never forget, not at all,” said Malacarne, who will enroll at Otero Junior College this season. “I played the best I could and I feel that for the past four years I’ve been able to put in a strong effort. Being here says that I’ve been able to do that. They had a good shooting team and we just couldn’t overcome them.”
Fox Hollow golf course second to none in experience Course is celebrating 20th anniversary this August By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com LAKEWOOD — Five minutes from Red Rocks and just 15 minutes from downtown Denver sits one of Colorado’s best golf courses. Fox Hollow, the Lakewood municipal golf course that feels and looks more like a private golf club, has just wrapped up its second decade of overwhelming success. The golf course is celebrating its 20th anniversary this August and although Fox Hollow has been challenging Colorado golfers since 1993, if you come to the course for the first time you may think it’s brand new. “The trees are certainly all 20 years older but we like to think Fox Hollow is always continuing to stay modernized,” Fox Hollow head professional Craig Parzybok said. “We want the course to be as welcoming and inviting to our guests as possible.” Not satisfied with just 18 holes? Well,
Fox Hollow offers three different and very unique nine hole experiences. The Canyon: Negotiate a challenging plunge down narrow Coyote Gulch, including Fox Hollow’s signature fifth hole. This 445-yard, par 4 hole includes an 80-foot elevation drop from the end of the fairway to the green. The Meadow: Swing into this streamside nine, where Bear Creek and other water hazards sparkle amid ancient cottonwood trees. The Links: Unwind on a Scottish-style nine set against a sweeping vista of the Rocky Mountain foothills rising steeply to the west. With five sets of tees, golfers of every ability will feel at home. Fox Hollow was one of the first golf courses in the nation designed to be completely accessible to golfers with disabilities. “With our five sets of tees you can come out here and play a very long course for the big hitters, but you can also play a small course if you wish,” Parzybok said. In addition, your round of golf could potentially turn into a wildlife viewing area. Just moments from the Rocky Mountains,
Hole No. 9 on the Meadows course at Fox Hollow is the perfect ending to a challenging round of golf.
A father and son work on their golf game on one of Fox Hollow’s large practices areas. Photos by Daniel Williams Fox Hollow is also known to host a variety of wildlife. “Fox Hollow is hands down one of the best public courses around Denver,” said Tom Craine, a Fox Hollow regular. “The scenery is second to none, there is great value and you have three different courses to choose from. In 1994 Golf Digest nationally recognized and awarded Fox Hollow as the No. 2 “Best New Course in America,” and Golf Digest and Colorado Golf magazines have consistently recognized Fox Hollow as a “Top 10 Public Golf Course in Colorado.” It also features an award-winning clubhouse. The City of Lakewood also maintains Homestead Golf Course. A very popular course in its own right, Homestead is one of two Lakewood golf courses with magnificent views of downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountains. Fox Hollow and Homestead offer a unique mix of terrain types and course challenges. Nestled next to Bear Creek Lake Park and the Rocky Mountain foothills, both courses offer an opportunity for escape and relaxation with tranquil lakes, quiet streams and spectacular vistas.
‘Fox Hollow is hands down one of the best public courses around Denver. The scenery is second to non, there is great value and you have three different courses to choose from.’ Tom Crane, Fox Hollow regular Fox Hollow Golf Course is located on Morrison Road a half mile west of Kipling Parkway and 3 1/2 miles east of C470 in Lakewood.

Opening TD sets tone for All-State game North dominates South in 24-0 victory By Scott Stocker
Special to Colorado Community Media North quarterback Cody Marvel of D’Evelyn passed to Horizon’s Dustin Rivas for a 70-yard touchdown on the first play of the Colorado High School Coaches Association’s All-State football game setting the tone for a dominating 24-0 North victory over the South. D’Evelyn’s Conner Skelton added the extra point 20 seconds into the game June 7 on the Rex Stadium Field at Adams State University in Alamosa. The North had gained the opportunity following a 20-yard kickoff return by Fort Morgan’s Cody Davis that reached the North 30. The North defense took over from there, as through the rest of the game the South could hardly register a serious attack. And it was the overall efforts of the North players that more than pleased coach Mike Gabriel from Holy Family. “It was just a great opportunity to work with these great players and coaches,” Gabriel said. “I think the key for the staff was that we were able to come together and help the boys get together. Defensively, the kids were solid, and we certainly got the game off to a good start.”
It only took two plays at the beginning of the second quarter for the North to up its lead to 14-0 via a 50-yard pass from quarterback Robert Fulton of Northridge to Marvel with 14:22 left, and with Skelton adding his second extra point of the night. While the touchdown came on the second play of the quarter, it actually capped a six-play drive that started at the North 27yard line. However, the drive also included back-to-back South penalties for holding and pass interference. Skelton would add a 45-yard field goal with 4:03 left in the second quarter, allowing the North to take a 17-0 lead into the intermission. It also didn’t take long for the North to go ahead 24-0 in the third quarter. With 9:47 left in the period, Fulton scored on a six-yard run to cap a four-play drive that only covered 39 yards. Golden’s Paris Salas carried the ball on the first play, losing two yards. However, he got those yards back on his next carry. On the third play of the drive, Fulton would complete a 33-yard pass to Rivas that carried down to the South six. The fourth play, a 6-yard run by Fulton, and the extra point by Skelton would complete the scoring in the game. For Conifer’s 6-foot, 6-inch defensive end Don Fuller, the North win was double gratifying. Why? It can be considered an early birthday present as he turned 18 on Sunday.
“All the guys worked hard to get here and we just all wanted to play our hearts out,” said Fuller, who will head for the University of Northern Colorado in the fall. “To get a goose egg on defense was great and all the guys are excited. This was such a fine group to complete our high school football careers.” Marvel had good reason to feel good about his All-State Game appearance. “This is just a great experience, and being one of our three D’Evelyin guys here makes it all the better,” Marvel said. “Our defense shut them down. We just didn’t let them have anything of note. It was just a great week. Now, for me, it’s on to the School of Mines.” It also was a fine night for Holy Family’s Daniel Kubistek, who was also up front for the North. “It was just awesome, as it’s my last football game,” said Kubistek, who now also heads to the University of Northern Colorado. “I wouldn’t trade this for anything with all the great 4A and 5A players down here. I’m going to major in physical therapy and perhaps coach in the future.” It was a disappointing loss for the South on the field, but not one when it comes to the memories the game and experience will conjure up. Unfortunately, several of the South players were dissatisfied that they couldn’t come through with any real serious scoring threats. After all, they only managed to
reach into North territory four times and only once down to the 20-yard line. “This was just a wonderful experience to be out here with all these guys, on both sides,” said Thomas Caracena, off the defensive line from The Classical Academy. “Win or lose, this will always be memorable. But of course I wish we could have got on the scoreboard. But it’s a privilege to be considered All-State.” Chaparral nose guard Isaac Hernandez also agreed the experience can overcome the loss. “It’s a game with a lot of guys you played against and it’s an experience not many in our lives will be able to enjoy,” Hernandez said. “Win or lose, this was like getting a bit of the college feeling in advance with all the talent that is out here.” Added Fountain-Fort Carson’s Anthony Davis, “Any time you get to play in a game like this it’s an honor. And playing with the guys from all the various level classifications in the state is great. It just proves there are a lot of fine players from the small and large schools. Just something to always remember.” Gabriel was joined on the sidelines with the North coaching staff that included Harrison Chisolm of Fort Morgan, Jeremy Bennett of D’Evelyn and Andy Yost of Roosevelt. The South was coached by Zach O’Dell of Pueblo Central, Chris Coppa of Canon City, Matt Flavin of Buena Vista and Mike O’Dwyer of Limon.
