Spaceport license application in final stages County works on getting Front Range designated for space transport By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Adams County should hear by the end of 2014 if Front Range Airport will have a spaceport designation. The county is in the final stages of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) application for a license that would allow the airport to launch space-bound payloads, which could include passengers. “We’re really excited about the potential this has for Adams County, the region and Colorado,” said Kristin Sullivan, Adams County economic development manager. “We believe (the designation) would be an incredible catalyst for the aerospace industry for all of Colorado.” Some of that potential would be the economic boost of spacecraft development and manufacturing, space tourism and point-to-point traveling. Sullivan said that the average salary for jobs in the aerospace industry is $120,000 annually. “These are the types of jobs we’re looking to attract,” she said.
Point-to-point traveling could mean a traveler could get to Europe in three hours as opposed to the 12 hours it takes now, Sullivan said. “It seems far-fetched but this is what the new space industry looks like,” she said. FAA Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation George Nield toured Front Range May 19. Front Range is one of six locations nationwide applying for the FAA license. There are already eight licensed facilities. “Commercial space transportation has grown at an incredible pace,” Nield said in a statement. “Ten years ago it was the space shuttle and it was the government operating. Now we have two private companies operating, with many more in the development process.” The county began in February 2013 the application process, which has included an environmental assessment, a safety evaluation and a business plan. A required public hearing and public comment period are among the last steps of the application and should happen during the summer. Sullivan said the application should be submitted in September and the FAA will have 180 days to evaluate it and issue a ruling. In a March 12 letter to Nield, U.S. Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet, and U.S. Reps. Mike Coffman, Ed Perlmutter, Cory
A view of Front Range Airport from the tower. The airport has nearly 4,000 acres of land, mostly vacant, which makes it ideal for growth if it receives the spaceport designation by the Federal Aviation Administration. Courtesy photo by Adams County Gardner, Diana DeGette, Jared Polis and Doug Lamborn expressed their support for the airport’s designation as spaceport. “Located on 4,000 acres of land and surrounded by 6,000 acres of privately owned industrial property, Front Range Airport is remote yet only six miles from Denver
International Airport,” the letter states. “These natural advantages, combined with the resources available from Colorado’s aerospace community, have Front Range Airport well-situated as a key cog in the effort to further develop commercial space transportation in Colorado.”
Museum honors veterans during event D-Day Remembered tribute features live music, light lunch By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com The Adams County Museum will honor veterans Sunday with its 11th Annual Tribute — D-Day Remembered. While all veterans will be honored, a special recognition will be made for World War II soldiers as June 6 marks the 70th anniversary of D-Day — the Allied invasion of Normandy. “We originally were trying to do something for Veterans Day but there were so many things going on so we decided to do something unique — celebrate D-Day,” said Casey Hayes, who spearheads the annual event. Hayes was too young to serve in the war, but he is full of knowledge about the battles and the lives lost. “World War II has been said to be the last good war, but I don’t know what war could be good,” Hayes said. He added that most World War II veterans are now in their 90s and more and more are dying each year.
“This is the first year we won’t have a World War II veteran (as part of the tribute),” Hayes said. Usually more than 100 people attend the free annual event, which will feature live music and a light lunch. “This event seems such a small tribute, but it’s something we can do from the bottom of our hearts,” the museum’s administrator Dixie Pierce said. Pierce recalled how one veteran in a past event cried because he was so honored. “These men just have such heart, they are so patriotic,” she said. The Golden Eagle Concert Band — a 50-piece community band — will play music from that era, such as George M. Cohan and John Phillip Sousa. Most of the buildings at the museum complex will be opened to the public. Military posters, uniforms, equipment, flags will be on display. The event takes place at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 8, in the Hoffman Hall at the museum, 9601 Henderson Road in Brighton. Attendees are encouraged to bring their vintage cars or military vehicles. For more information, call 303-659-7103 or visit www.adamscountymuseum.com.

tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com A soldier from Thornton was killed in an aircraft accident in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan, on May 28, according to Fort Carson officials. Pfc. Jacob H.

County Youth Initiative, ACYI, was filled with workshops in topic ranging from mentoring and poverty prevention to family engagement and adoption. ACYI executive director Becky Hoffman said a big focus for ACYI is increasing school attendance, which was also discussed at the conference. “We are looking at ways to authentically engage young people and their parents,” she said. “And also looking at services we can provide families to help our youth get to school and be successful.” Kicking off the conference were Adams County commissioners Eva Henry and Chaz Tedesco, who both spoke about their upbringing, lives and how they made it to where they are today. Following the commissioners was key note speaker Susan Weinberger,
president of the Mentor Consulting Group. She spoke about the importance of mentoring. “I don’t like the term ‘at risk’ for children,” she said. “I would rather use the term ‘on the brink of success’ for those kids out there.” Hoffman said she hopes the conference installed a commitment to the vision that all kids can be successful in Adams County. She referred to the conference as a pep rally. “Really what this conference did was help build the toolboxes of all who attended,” she said. “Hopefully people left with resources and tools on how to support students who are dealing with different situations in their lives, whether that be poverty or learning the English language.”

WWII bomber visits Denver Rides, ground tours of B-17 Flying Fortress available By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com Most World War II veterans are in their 90s and the number of them living is dwindling. According to the U.S. Veterans Administration, 555 veterans die each day. “With each death goes another story of courage and valor,” said Scott Maher, director of operations for the Liberty Foundation. “This airplane we hope properly represents those stories.” The Liberty Foundations’ B-17 Flying Fortress will be in Denver this weekend at Rocky Mountain Metro Airport as part of its 2014 Salute to Veterans tour. “We visit 50 cities a year,” Maher said. “We travel the country to honor our veterans, preserve our aviation history and teach current and future generations the high price of our freedom. This is hands-on history. This isn’t something you find between dusty pages of a book.” There were a total of 12,732 of these bombers produced between 1935
and 1945, 4,735 of those planes were lost in combat. The B-17 in Denver this weekend was made at the end of World War II and never saw combat, Maher said. Today only nine of B-17s are still flying, and only four offers flights to the public, he said. Flights are available on the B-17 this weekend for $450 per person. All proceeds go toward the plane’s operational costs. “It costs $5,000 an hour to fly the plane,” Maher said. “We can burn through $15,000 worth of fuel in just one weekend.” He added that the annual insurance cost is $100,000. The flights last about 30 minutes and passengers only have to be in their seats for the takeoff and landing. “While they’re flying, they can visit the cockpit, the class nose and all crew positions to really get a feel for what this historic aircraft was like during the war,” Maher said. Those crew positions include the Bomb bay, radio room and the waist gunner stations. Maher said people who cannot afford the flights are still welcomed to come out to the airport, watch the plane fly and take a free ground tour after the flights
The B-17 Flying Fortress will be at Rocky Mountain Metro Airport Saturday and Sunday offering flights and ground tours. The ground tours will begin after the flights, generally after 3 p.m. The plane was used in the 1990 film “Memphis Belle.” Photo by Tammy Kranz are finished. The B-17 Flying Fortress will be at the Rocky Mountain Metro Airport, 11705 Airport Way in Broomfield, Saturday, June 7, and Sunday, June 8.

County signs $9.8 million purchase agreement Westminster property to house various human services operations By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Adams County has agreed to buy a parcel of land in Westminster to house some of its operations. The Board of County Commissioners voted 2-0 during its May 19 regular meeting on a purchase and sale agreement with IBC Denver VIII, LW, VI, LLC. District 1 Commissioner Eva Henry was absent. The parcel of land is located in the Park 12 Hundred commercial redevelopment at 1200 W. 120th Ave. The county has agreed to pay $9,836,393.20 for approximately 23.44 acres of land that has a three-story, 297,172 square-foot office building. “In late 2013, our Facilities, Planning and Operations Department was tasked with identifying properties that might accommodate two of our older and most inefficient buildings, specifically the Human Services and the CFC (Children and Family Services Center) buildings,” said Deputy County Manager Ed Finger. “And as a result of that, using a broker and looking at
a number of different properties, we came to the conclusion that the one at 1200 W. 120th Ave. was probably the most operational advantageous to us.” Park 12 Hundred sits on 106 acres on 120th between Huron and Pecos streets. The land used to house Western Electric, and most recently, the telecommunications company Avaya. Avaya moved its lab operation into the former Quest data center on Grant Street, north of 120th, in Thornton. The property has 1,231 existing parking spots and there are plans to add 136 spots in the future. The site is close to a RTD park `n ride and Interstate 25. Finger said the agreement provides for an initial 90-day inspection period and an option for an additional 30 days for inspection that the county would use to do appraisals and inspections to make sure the building is fit for purchase. “We have virtually an unlimited out from this agreement if for any reason we decide this building doesn’t meet our needs,” he said. He added that staff would update the board monthly on how the inspection efforts were going and give a final recommendation before the inspection time ran out.

Man arrested for wife’s murder Staff Report David Pineda, 59, of Thornton has been arrested for investigation of first-degree murder. Police believe he killed his wife. At approximately 12:05 a.m. on Tuesday, May 27, police responded to 1521 Carrol Court, in reference to checking the well-being of a woman at that residence. Officers discovered Pineda’s wife suffering from multiple stab wounds. The victim was taken to a local hospital where she later died from her injuries. Pineda was not at the scene but was later arrested by a Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputy on C-470. Police believe the couple was arguing and that led to the stabbing. An exact motive has not been established.

Wildfire reports sound a call to action With the recent rain and hail that pounded much of the Front Range, bringing flooding to some areas, wildfires may not seem like an imminent threat. But trends tell us otherwise. It’s not a matter of if, but when. Earlier this spring, the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control released some chilling information in a special report to the governor and General Assembly. The report focused on strategies to enhance the state’s aerial firefighting capabilities. In making its case for that, the report stated that since the 1990s, “the number, intensity, and complexity of wildfires in Colorado have been growing exponentially, and experts predict that it will continue to worsen.” The length of the wildfire season is
our view growing, too, the report said. “In general, Colorado sees short periods of increased fire occurrence throughout the year with just a few of the fires reaching a significant size or complexity. However, the drought conditions and fire activity experienced throughout 2012 — one of the worst wildfire seasons in state history — may be representative of a new normal. Experts warn that drought and the other causal factors could result in repeats of 2012 with widespread fire activity and extended, year-long wildfire seasons.” In recent months, several reports have
blamed wildfire trends like this across the West on global warming, perhaps further evidence of a “new normal.” Given the bigger picture, it’s difficult for us to find solace in the mid-May prediction by state experts of a “normal” 2014 wildfire season. Even a pre-2012 “normal” means an average year in Colorado would see thousands of fires, with 30 of them being large, destructive blazes. But if 2012 — when 260,000 acres in the state were scorched, more than 600 structures destroyed and six people killed — is a sign of things to come, that’s truly alarming. To their credit, state legislators and Gov. John Hickenlooper took action this past session. On May 12, Hickenlooper signed into law a bill creating the state’s first aerial firefighting fleet. The legislation,
which comes with a $21 million price tag, creates a fleet of four planes — two leased and two owned by the state — and four leased helicopters and designates money for a center to study high-tech firefighting tactics. The primary goal, as outlined in the division of fire prevention’s report, is to keep fires small. If the fleet can help cut down on an average year’s $42 million in fire-suppression-expenses, while saving lives, acres and property, it will be money well spent. One thing is for certain when it comes to wildfires in Colorado: Inaction is not an option. With the ominous reports that have surfaced, lawmakers here and in other Western states would be wise to read and react for years to come.

Whatever happened to loyalty? Loyalty seems to have gotten run over by a Mack truck over the years. What is loyalty anyway? It is a quality or state of being faithful to your country, a person, an institution, a belief, a cause, a business etc. There is an adherence to the person, institution, cause etc. in which you have faith and in which you believe. Back in the day, major league baseball players were “loyal” to their team and their fans and usually played for a single team during their entire career. It wasn’t about the money. It was a relationship where both parties were treated fairly. Shoppers use to be more strident in their loyalty to particular retail stores i.e. “I always shopped at May D&F” or “They have the best maintenance service at my car dealer.” The public used to be loyal to their bank, their school district, their car dealer, their television provider and you get the point. Whatever happened? What happened to this intangible “gluelike” relationship between two parties? I always thought as an employee that I should be loyal to my employer. My father-in-law was a banker in a small Midwest town. His family had a belief that they should shop and do business with those companies and retailers who had a business relationship with the bank. “Loyal customers” of a restaurant are those who eat there regularly and you see them there come rain or shine. “Loyal followers” of a particular book author will read each book written by the author regardless of the reviews. I have a few favorite authors which include Nelson DeMille, John Grisham, Ken Follett and Daniel Silva. I read their books with some books being really good (from my perspective) while others were “just so-so.”\ Will I purchase or check out the next offering of these authors regardless of their last book? Yes, indeed I will. That is loyalty. Enticed by the best offer Today’s fickle shopper is not influenced by loyalty. They are looking for the best possible deal. Whether it is the price of gasoline, the best “bundle” deal on TV, Internet and telephone or getting a free electronic device for opening a new banking account, today’s shopper is motivated by the best
deal and best price. Then when the 12 months or minimum contract is fulfilled, they will jump ship and sign up with a competitor. Such a scenario is not a surprise with today’s thinking. Perhaps it is a generational thing. Us “seniors” tend to be loyal while Baby Boomers and younger folks probably are more about the deal. However, who gets the short end of the lollipop when you do practice loyalty? It’s the loyal long-time customer. They don’t get the 12 month cut-rate pricing on the latest “bundle.” They don’t get the free electronics for being a customer of the bank for 20 years or more. Is that fair? No, what if everyone had the mindset of wanting the best offer, the lowest rate, and the free enticement? Let’s face it; businesses depend on a portion of their customers or clientele to remain with them “come rain or come shine.” Something for the loyal customer So, what is the punch line in this “Loyal Customer’s Lament”? It is simple. Retailers, service providers like financial institutions, professional service providers like accountants, doctors and dentists and restaurants etc. should be more cognizant of their loyal customers and give thought to some sort of a “loyalty program” to reward them. Bring back something like the S&H stamp booklets or nine punches on the card, and your 10th frozen yogurt is free or re-structure the enticing offers to sign up brand new customers with a premium or two for your long-time “Steady Eddie” customers or clients. Or, drop the whole enticement strategy/lower initial rates for new customers and depend solely on good service and quality products. Nuf said!! Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

Regular school for an extraordinary Joe Allow me to tell you about Joe. Joe was a student I had, oh, 15 years ago, and Joe was brilliant! He was smart, a gifted musician, and one of those guys who was genuinely well-liked in every social circle of the school. Joe thrived because Joe was ambitious and hard-working. Period. That industry and ambition were fed by a very supportive family and, frankly, Joe would have thrived anywhere. In fact, there was a music program just down the road from us that was quite a bit more successful than the one I was in charge of, and I wonder if Joe ever thought to transfer there. In reality, it wouldn’t have made much difference for Joe — he would have still thrived. But, thanks in no small part to Joe’s presence, our program had a couple really spectacular seasons while he was there: what talent there was gravitated towards Joe, and they created some pretty cool opportunities for themselves. After graduation, Joe went on to one of the top music schools in the country, and is now making a living as a musician. I say this to illustrate why I am not a big believer in school vouchers, or, for the most part, in the way we attempt to do charter schools around here. Had Joe been
in just an abysmal situation, his highly interested and supportive family would have sought out a brighter opportunity for him, and the end result for Joe would have been about the same as it was. But the students left behind would have been deprived of a great experience. I know, as I write this, that I’m breaking in philosophy with some of my friends. But my experience teaches me that the end result of a voucher program, taken ad absurdum, would be an awful stratification of our education system. Students from good homes would all end up flocking together in “good” schools, and students from less ideal situations — whatever that means — would get “left behind” in “the system.” And I know, as a parent, that it’s not my job to worry about other people’s children; and I certainly
It’s Miller time again The other day I opened up the patio door and out flew several miller moths. During the course of the next days they became more prevalent. Now they are swarming around the intersections and we now will have to put up with those pesky creatures for several weeks.
The worst ones But the worst of the miller moths are the ones that get in your car. They can cause one to get in an accident trying to roll the windows down and drive them
all their successful reforms co-opted by neighborhood schools, that would be one thing; but, as it is, I just don’t see broad, systemic value in expanding charter schools. What kind of school would have provided greater benefit to students like Joe? Well, I’m out of column-inches for this week, so that dissertation is going to have to wait for another week. Let me just leave you with this: it is my belief that there is nothing in our current debates that offers great hope for widespread change. The systemic inertia is too massive. Change will come to the system when we start to change how we think — and argue — about it.

It was horrendous Some years ago when the children were younger we rented a cabin on Sauk Lake in Sauk Center, Minnesota. We were the first of the season occupants and as soon as we opened the door the dance began. They literally flew in swarms and they were everywhere. Of course the children were frightened especially when they found them in the bedding and in the bath. We killed miller by the dustpan full of the ornery moths. There wasn’t a space to sit on or a table to eat on. We should have contacted the cabin owner but that meant we would have a place to stay so we kept swatting Miller moths for the whole week. We never did get the upper hand and vowed to never rent a cabin unless it had been de-millered.
know that it’s not Joe’s responsibility to rescue his peers. But, from a public policy standpoint, we should be looking at the whole spectrum. Are there places where vouchers should be tried? Yeah. Places where the system is already so irrecoverably corrupt and harmful to students that rescuing any of them is a greater good. I’m thinking about places like Washington, D.C., New York, or Chicago — places where the bar of success is set somewhere around getting through the day without a stabbing at school. But, not here. Likewise, I am unimpressed with the charter school system. Granted, a couple of them—Peak to Peak comes to mind — have had impressive success; but just as many, if not more, are failures, and most of them show little, if any, improvement over neighborhood schools while offering far fewer curricular choices. Were charter schools treated like petri dishes, and
out. Of course another place they love to congregate is around the lamp lights. It is so agitating in the bedroom to have them flying around the lamp shades. I can put up with a little spider in my bedroom but I go ape when a miller invades my space and I can’t quit swatting until they are dead. Now I read that they are really on their way to Nebraska for their summer stay. Well to Nebraska I say, “please welcome them and keep them coming your way. I’ll keep on killing them with a vengeance.” Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned. Vi June is past Democratic state representative for House District 35.

weight-loss season gets glitzy kickoff 3-day event features speakers, art and history exhibit, movie By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@colorado communitymedia.com Rocky Flats stopped producing nuclear weapons in 1989 after the FBI and Environmental Protection Agency raided the facility. It has been 25 years, yet there is still ongoing community dialogue about the land and facility rocky flats — the then and now health impact WHAT: Speakers, movie, on its exhibits, performance emarts ployWHERE: Arvada Center ees, the 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. conWHEN: June 6-8 taminaCOST: Free tion of INFO: https://arvadaradiocenter.org/on-stage/ active rocky-flats-then-andwaste now-2014 leaks, the housing developments on the southern and eastern borders, to just name a few topics. To mark the 25th anniversary of the raid, the Arvada Center for Arts and Humanities is hosting a comprehensive three-day multi-faceted event June 6-8. Rocky Flats Then and Now:
A 1978 demonstration protesting the work done at Rocky Flats.
25 years After the Raid will feature panel discussions focusing on the raid; an art and history exhibit (including photographs and artifacts from the plant); a viewing of “Dark Circle,” an Emmy Award winning documentary — all activities will be free. “We have a chance to look at this story from a variety of perspectives and shed some light on it,” said Philip C. Sneed, executive director of the Arvada Center. “We’ll hear from different people with different points of view of Rocky Flats then and now.” Among the people scheduled to speak are Len Ackland, who authored “Making a Real Killing: Rocky Flats and the Nuclear West”; former Colorado Gov. Roy Romer and former U.S. Rep. David Skaggs, both who were in office during the raid; former FBI agent Jon Lipsky; author Kristen Iverson, who wrote “Full Body Burden: Growing up in the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky Flats”; poet Anne Waldman; and former plant workers, neighbors, activists and scientists and other experts on the topic. “Rocky Flats is an important part of Arvada’s history,
and yet it’s a story with regional, national, and even international impact,” Sneed said. He stressed that the event is neutral and not meant to reassure either side of the debate about Rocky Flats. The goals of the event are to educate the public and promote respectful dialogue. “We’re hoping we’re giving enough information on both points of views that attendees can make up their own mind,” Sneed said. The event will also feature several artists from different mediums, Sneed said, “So,
we’ll get a sense of how the artistic community responded to Rocky Flats.” Sneed said it the center is hosting the event for free to gauge the community interest in these types of activities. “This is the new thing for us, to try and live up to the second part of our name (humanities),” he said. He added that arts and humanities are important ways to tell a story. “When you put both the arts and humanities disciplines together you get a far greater, and deeper, and broader understanding of the things that affect us, Sneed said. For more information on the event and a complete schedule, visit http://arvadacenter.org/on-stage/rockyflats-then-and-now-2014.
The fourth season of ABC’s reality series “Extreme Weight Loss” debuted May 27 with a red-carpet reception at The United Artists Denver Pavilions Theatre downtown. Charita, the Colorado Springs contestant, was guided on her yearlong weightloss journey by Anschutz Health and Wellness Center’s Dr. Holly Wyatt along with other participants who spent the first three months of their quest at the center in Aurora. Wyatt, alongside fitness specialist Chris Powell, was the guiding force behind steering participants toward their yearlong goal of safely losing up to half their body weight. ABC will air 13 twohour episodes of the hit show locally, 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays on Channel 7. Charita, who is featured with Oklahoma resident Ty in the first episode, and Wyatt attended the red-carpet premiere along with more than 200 community and Anschutz medical campus leaders and CEO/executive producer JD Roth. During the run of the show, Wyatt is writing a blog at www.thedenverchannel. com/entertainment/extreme-weight-lossmedical-director-holly-wyatt-blogsabout-charita-ty-weight-loss-journey.

Thrillist (www.thrillist.com), a national website that has an opinion on all things food and drink-related in the U.S., has bestowed “bests” to three Denver eateries. Included in The 21 Best Southern Restaurants Outside of the South is Tom’s Home Cookin’, 800 E. 26th Ave., a Denver favorite for Southern fare. Thrillist recommends the fried catfish paired with green beans and fried okra. “The name here says it all — this is home cooking, and even if you’ve never met Tom, you’ll be begging to be adopted so you can inhale this instead of whatever you’re hacking at your house.” Sweet Action Ice Cream, 52 Broadway, was included in Thrillist’s 21 Best Ice Cream Shops in America. Here’s the scoop: “What you’re ordering: Pocky and Red Bean if you’re feeling interesting, Milk Chocolate if you’re feeling boring. Our man in Denver tried every single one of the flavors at Sweet Action, and, although he didn’t care much for vegan Maple Walnut or Vanilla Rose, he can vouch for nearly every other flavor as being worth at least several samples. But as sexy as Salted Malt Butterscotch and Cinnamon Roll sound, the champion of the taste was a simple milk chocolate described as `a scoop of goodness ...’” If you prefer drinking your calories instead of eating them, check out Williams & Graham, 3160 Tejon St., the Denver speakeasy that made Thrillist’s The 33 Best Cocktail Bars in America. “A cocktail-themed bookstore is the front for this barely-lit speakeasy coowned by a guy named the 2014 Bartender of the Year by the Nightclub and

Take some steps for uncommon results This is not a “hot off the press” news flash, but rather a simple yet powerful reminder: “Common sense is not always common practice.” You have certainly heard this before, and I have absolutely heard it myself and even repeated it in classroom training, keynote speeches, and from time to time have shared it in this column over the past few years. What I wanted to do in this column is take this principle to the next level. Recently I shared how important fundamentals are to success in both our personal and professional lives. However, now let’s talk about not just common sense, but those lesser-known best practices that actually deliver uncommon results. For a few of us, we are exactly where we want to be in life. We are settled, content, happy and may have no desire or need to look for anything that elevates or disrupts our splendid contentedness. Now for the rest of us who truly desire “uncommon results,” we need to continue to follow the
blocking and tackling fundamentals that have gotten us this far, but now we need to look beyond the basics and proven fundamentals and search out the advanced ideas and best practices to help propel us as we continue on the upward journey of our success. So where do we go or how do we search for those best practices that can add value to our lives? Here are three ideas that have helped me over the years and that you may also find useful and help lead you to uncommon results.

1. Identify the person, group, or team that you believe excels in the area you are trying to advance in or improve. Upon connecting with them, invite them to coffee or arrange a call or meeting and just ask them what they have found to be the differentiators or best practices that have helped them to achieve uncommon results. You will be amazed to find out just how open and willing they will be to share their success story with you. 2. Get out of your comfort zone and try something new. Even as you are enjoying the benefits of your success or achievements, push yourself to try something new that will stretch you and push you to the next level. 3. Look for biographies, articles, stories, and case studies of people, companies, or groups that achieved greatness or exceeded expectations by doing something out of the norm or beyond common practices to realize uncommon results. Again, if you are content and happy
with where you are with the achievements of your goals and dreams, that is awesome. But if you have ever dreamed of going higher, further, or faster and truly desire more in the way of achieving uncommon results, apply all or at least one or two of the above best practices and see if you too can be one of those people whose achievements shout out “uncommon results.” Whether you are in the land of contentment or on the road to uncommon and better results, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And as we appreciate where we are or pursue uncommon results, it really will be a better than good week.

Book captures inspiration of Shirley “The Little Girl Who Fought the Great Depression” by John F. Kasson 2014, W.W. Norton $27.95 / $32.50 Canada 308 pages Staying upright. That’s what you learned when you were a year old: being vertical and walking. You mastered communication at two, played well with others at four, and by time you were six years old, you could read, write, and remember your telephone number. So this’ll make you feel silly: at just six years old, Shirley Temple was saving the world from despair. Read all about it in “The Little Girl Who Fought the Great Depression” by John F. Kasson. Herbert Hoover had surely enjoyed a good run of popularity. For a decade before he was swept into the White House in 1928, he was one of America’s most respected men. The “personal tenderness” he exhibited and his “ability to deal with calamities,” however, weren’t quite as apparent when the stock market plunged, unemployment rose, and the country began its slide into the Great Depression. But Hoover knew what to do. He told a reporter in 1931 that the country needed “’a good, big laugh’” to make things right. Gertrude Temple already had two sons when she “made a fateful resolution.” She decided that her third child would be a curly-haired blonde girl named Shirley, who would pull the family out of financial difficulties. When that child was born in 1928, it was as if Gertrude’s dream had “willed (Shirley Temple) into existence.” By the time Franklin Roosevelt ousted Hoover in the 1932 election, most of the world’s citizens were truly suffering. Average American paychecks had fallen to nearly half of what they were in 1929 – that is, if the wage-earner even had a job. Unemployment was well into double-digits; worse, for southern blacks. Food was scarce, housing was iffy, and resources were dear. Enrolled in a dance class, three-yearold Shirley Temple caught the eye of two one-reel moviemakers and was offered a contract for $10 per day of filming. It was formulaic work, but it gave her mother hope and in the fall of 1933, Gertrude made certain that Shirley was seen by the songwriter for a new Fox Film. He promptly replaced a “less winning little girl” with Shirley.
Author John Kasson at the University of North Carolina at Chapel. Photo courtesy Dan Sears UNC-Chapel Hill Within a year, the world was smitten … Heavy things to put on the shoulders of a child, no? Yes, and author John F. Kasson explains why the time was ripe for a kid to become one of the world’s best-known, and then best-loved people. But that’s not all: in “The Little Girl Who Fought the Great Depression,” we’re treated to a lively, yet focused, history filled with surprises and unique perspectives. Kasson shows us how African Americans fared, both on-screen and off. We’re told of Shirley Temple’s unusual friendships, and how she misbehaved sometimes. And Kasson offers statistics and excerpts from letters that keenly show how the Depression affected everyday people, and how Shirley Temple offered them comfort.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF JunE 2, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) There’s nothing an Aries Lamb likes less than having to tackle a humdrum task. But finding a creative way to do it can make all the difference. A more exciting time awaits you this weekend. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Finishing up a job on time leaves you free to enjoy your weekend without any Taurean guilt pangs. A romantic attitude from an unlikely source could take you by surprise. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Moving in a new career direction might be seen by some as risky. But if you have both the confidence to see it through and the facts to back you up, it could prove rewarding.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Holding back on a decision might be difficult, considering how long you’ve waited for this opportunity. But until you’re able to resolve all doubts, it could be the wiser course to take. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You still need to move carefully where financial matters are concerned. Better for the Lion to move slowly than pounce on a “promising” prospect that doesn’t keep its promises. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A rejection of an idea you believe in can be upsetting. But don’t let it discourage you. Get yourself back on track and use what you’ve learned from the experience to try again. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) The early part of the week could find you looking to balance your priorities between your family obligations and your career responsibilities. Pressures begin to ease by week’s end. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to nov 21)An associate’s problem could cause unavoidable delays in moving ahead with your joint venture. If so, use the time to look into another project you had previously set aside. SAGITTARIUS (nov 22 to Dec 21) Although a financial problem could be very close to being resolved in your favor, it’s still a good idea to avoid unnecessary spending for at least a little while longer. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Support for some unwelcome workplace decisions begins to show up, and continues to build, so that by week’s end, the gregarious Goat is as popular as ever. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Congratulations. Deciding to attend a social function you might have earlier tried to avoid could turn out to be one of the best decisions you’ve made in a long time. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Getting into a new situation could prove to be a more difficult experience than you expected. Don’t hesitate to ask for advice in coping with some of the more irksome challenges. BORN THIS WEEK: Your strong sense of duty makes you a valued and trusted member of your community.

Did Josh McDaniels help build the Manning-led Broncos? This isn’t going to be easy to do. I am going to try and make a hero out of the ultimate Denver Broncos’ villain. In 2009, the Broncos fired iconic head coach Mike Shanahan and hired 33-year-old Josh McDaniels. McDaniels went on to win the first six games of his coaching career, but then went 5-17 after his fast start and was fired before the completion of the 2010 season. However, during his short tenure McDaniels was more than just a coach. McDaniels, like Shanahan, was given general manager power as well as head coaching duties and was able to orchestrate the 2009 and 2010 NFL Drafts for the Broncos. What McDaniels did — and didn’t do — with those two drafts would eventually lead to John Elway’s eventual hire, as well as Peyton Manning’s historic swan song that he is currently leading. Let me explain. Denver had five picks in the first two rounds of the 2009 draft. The Broncos had two first round picks selected Knowshon Moreno No. 12 overall and then Robert Ayers No. 18 overall. McDaniels then drafted Alphonso
Smith, Darcel McBath and Robert Quinn all in the second round. Five seasons later none of those five Broncos remain with the club and those misses in the draft played a giant role in the Broncos having little success and going 4-12 in 2010. But the 2010 draft would go on to be one of the most historic in the team’s rich history for a lot of different reasons. Denver again had two first round picks in 2010 and would draft Demaryius Thomas No. 22 overall with their first pick. The Broncos and McDaniels then shocked the sports world by trading back into the first round and drafting Tim Tebow with the No. 25 overall pick. Also in the 2010 draft Denver selected
Colorado rockies Futures Game roster selected By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com DENVER - The Colorado prep baseball season isn’t over just yet. The state’s best players will have at least one more at-bat and one more chance to make a play as the rosters have been set for the Colorado Rockies annual Futures Game Sunday at Coors Field. The format for the game, as well as its selection process, have changed over the years, but basically the state’s best senior players will play against the state’s best underclassmen. That means teammates will be playing against each other, as well as rivals who will now become teammates. A few more players than in past years were selected to the team partially because several of the selected players won’t be able to participate in the game. The Futures Game will start roughly 30 minutes after the end of the RockiesDodgers game which starts at 2:10 p.m. In addition, the Rockies will honor all of the Futures Game team members and
their families by bringing them onto the field before the start of the RockiesDodgers game.

Zane Beadles in the second round followed by both J.D. Walton and Eric Decker in the third round. Again, the Broncos were a complete disaster in 2010, leading to McDaniels firing before the season’s end. Elway and then John Fox were then hired by the team. 2011 brought in new hope but with Kyle Orton still the team’s starting quarterback the team started 1-4, and possibly due more to fan reaction than actually earning the job, Tebow was inserted into the lineup and NFL history was made. Tebow led the Broncos to six straight wins, an AFC title and an incredible playoff win over the Steelers, all with a team that had no business even making the playoffs. Credit Tebow, credit Elway or Fox, credit Mile High Magic, but I am going to credit McDaniels — not only for what played out in 2011 but moreover for what has played out since. Hidden under the Broncos’ miracle 2011 season was an ugly 2010 4-12 disaster. But somehow, someway, Tebow covered up that stink and the Broncos won the AFC West in 2011.
The following offseason Peyton Manning became a free agent. Manning flirted with the San Francisco 49ers, the Tennessee Titans and the Houston Texans, but because of the Broncos surprising success in 2010, Denver became a proposition that looked more and more enticing to the future Hall-of-Famer. The combination of that 2011 success paired up with a great young offensive group that consisted of Thomas, Decker, Beadles and Walton — all 2010 McDaniels’ draftees — made the Broncos the most attractive team to Manning. Since Manning chose the Broncos the club has had two of the most prolific seasons in the franchise’s history. Whether or not Denver will go on to win a Super Bowl under Manning is still very much an unknown. But one thing that has become clearer is that McDaniels drafting of Tebow and Thomas helped lure Manning to Denver and helped lay down the groundwork for much of their current success. Is McDaniels a hero? That might be pushing it. But is he the ultimate Broncos’ villain? Not to me.
Colorado preps turning collegiate at record rate State is producing future college talent
athletes. There are many more who will walk-on and have the opportunity to make collegiate rosters.
By Daniel Williams
Girls’ prep golf
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com While Colorado may not produce Division I football talent like Texas or California it certainly does produce plenty of future collegiate athletes. And at record numbers this year. According to CHSAA, a total of 905 Colorado prep athletes have signed to play their sport in college. Of those, 343 have signed with Division I programs, with baseball producing 45 D-I players. While CHSAA only started tracking recruiting statistics since 2002, the next closest total for producing D-I baseball players was 2008 when the state produced 28 top level players. Boys’ basketball produced 12 Division I players and girls’ basketball produced 18, both the most since stats were tracked in 2002. Colorado prep football will be sending 31 players to D-I FBS schools, the most since 2008 when 33 players went D-I. Another 16 will head to D-I FCS schools. Additionally, these stats provided by CHSAA only include athletes who are arriving on campus as signed scholarship
