County working on deal for water Officials aim to secure leftover renewable acre-feet By Ryan Boldrey

Douglas County is diving into the water game. With an eye on the leftover water made available to the 10 members of the Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency Partnership, the county commissioners signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Denver Water, Aurora Water and the WISE Partnership to negotiate for the rights to 2,725 acre-feet of renewable water per year. Through the initial agreement, Aurora Water and Denver Water will provide 7,275 acre-feet of fully treated water annually to the 10 WISE participants and deliver it in phases, starting in 2016. The 10 entities — who are all part of the larger South Metro Water Supply Authority — have agreed to fund new infrastructure that will move the water from Aurora’s Binney Water Purification Facility to its end locations. The caveat was that Aurora and Denver made 10,000 acre-feet per year available, leaving 2,725 acre-feet available. “If we don’t put a placeholder on this water, it will be lost,” said Tim Murrell, the county’s water resource planner. “Both Denver and Aurora were pretty clear that this is a one-time deal, that they are not going to come back and offer more water again.” The county has until Dec. 31 to iron out an option agreement with Aurora, Denver and WISE that Murrell says will involve negotiating a reservation fee, a time frame, a method of delivery for the water, and who the recipients of the water will be. Once that agreement is in place, it will come back in front of the county commissioners for final approval. “We wanted to make sure that the difference between the amount of water that the water providers have subscribed to and the amount available through the WISE project does not go away,” said Commissioner Jill Repella. While the county itself is not a water provider, it appears to be making a concerted effort to help regional users transition from nonrenewable to renewable water. “I think this is a wonderful role for the

Teachers get lesson at ‘Geek Camp’ DCSD personnel attend four-day session at charter By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Kids always seem to be on the cutting edge of technology. The Douglas County School District is making sure its teachers aren’t left behind. The number of technological advancements in the classroom over the last decade is astounding. The advent of interactive class lessons and online homework assignments has teachers receiving continuing education on the latest gadgets and apps being incorporated into the classroom. An annual “Geek Camp” run by the Douglas County School District equips teachers with the tools and know-how needed to guide the next generation into the future. Brandon Petersen, a technology teacher at Sand Creek Elementary School in Highlands Ranch, says in many cases, it’s best for teachers to “let the kids take control of their own learning,” which he admits is a “huge flip” in conventional thinking. During times when teachers are fumbling with a new device, “the kids say, `hand it over,’” he says.

Kim McMonagle, left, director of educational technology for the Douglas County School District, shows Soaring Hawk Elementary School teacher Sue McTigue how to use the iPhoto booth in a classroom setting. Petersen is among those who collaborate with instructors in the classroom. He has become “Mr. Technology,” trouble-shooting when needed at Sand Creek.

Parker woman sees future as spokesmodel 27-year-old aims to help others as face of nonprofit By Chris Michlewicz

If experience equals wisdom, Michelle Marie is wise beyond her years. Her late teens and early 20s were a roller coaster ride marked by a bold, cross-country move away from her parents that “failed miserably,” a runway modeling

career for Redken Fifth Avenue that ended in substance abuse, bulimia and a suicide attempt, and a rock-bottom moment in which she faced eviction, car repossession and life without a cell phone. As she stands today, at the age of 27, one wouldn’t be able to pick up on the troubles that plagued her past. Marie appears easygoing, confident and full of life. And that’s largely because she has come out on the other side with a renewed attitude and a list of ambitions. Having just moved to Parker five months ago with her boy-

friend and dog, Marie found herself, again, in a strange place with no money and no nearby friends or family. But this time it was different. The move from Lake Geneva, Wis., was meant as a fresh start, and so far, so good. Since February, Marie has found a slew of sponsors, been Model continues on Page 12

King Soopers eyes return to Cottonwood Redevelopment approved by planning commission By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com The Parker Planning Commission paved the way for a redevelopment project that includes plans to demolish the long-abandoned King Soopers building in Cottonwood. The commission voted unanimously July 11 to approve a site plan amendment to the Cottonwood Plaza shopping center on the northwest corner of South Parker Road and Cottonwood Drive. Republic Investment Group submitted a proposal to make improvements to accommodate a new, 123,400-square-foot King Soopers Marketplace, which would sell groceries and general retail and include a Fred Meyers jewelry store, Starbucks and a pharmacy with a drive-thru window. Republic Investment Group plans to demolish the strip containing Allegro Music, State Farm Insurance and Dependable Cleaners, and partially demolish the building that houses Tonti’s Pizza and FuNuGyz. A gas station will be developed near the Colorado State Bank & Trust and a retention pond will be built on the southwest corner of the parking lot. The Animal Emergency and Specialty Center will not be affected. Cottonwood Plaza is widely known as the former home of King Soopers, which left the shopping center in 2004 because of sluggish sales largely resulting from the arrival of more competition. The anchor building has sat empty ever since and been labeled by some town officials as an “eyesore.” The shopping center was declared “blighted” during a 2011 study that ended with a recommendation to establish an urban renewal district to generate tax-increment financing, meant to encourage property owners to make improvements. The

The old King Soopers building will be demolished to make way for the grocery chain’s “marketplace” concept. Photo by Chris Michlewicz “TIF” financing mechanism, however, has not been approved by town council, and funding is not yet available. John Hall, economic development director for the Town of Parker, said Cottonwood residents have largely been supportive of the redevelopment plan, not only because the area has been without a grocery store for so long, but also because it is believed it will increase property values. Some who attended the planning commission meeting expressed concern about vehicle traffic and noise from delivery trucks. Hall cautioned that an agreement between King Soopers and Republic Investment Group is being negotiated and no fi-

nal decisions have been made. “We’ve all seen approved plans in the files that have never resulted in projects, but it’s my belief that this project will likely go forward,” he said. The developer has indicated that demolition could begin in the second quarter of 2014, with a possible grand opening in the second quarter of 2015, Hall said. Republic Investment Group owner Grant Nelson did not immediately respond to an interview request the afternoon of July 15. While news of the redevelopment plan has been generally well-received, there are a few who say their businesses are in danger. Chris Wedemeyer, who opened Tonti’s

Pizzeria in 1992, says he’s being forced to relocate. Wedemeyer says he would have been looking for another location if he had known sooner that he would to leave by August. He said at least a half-dozen other businesses are being sacrificed for the benefit of one national retailer. “When Kroger pushes, they win,” he said, referring to King Soopers’ parent company. Hall said the site amendment plan does not require approval from town council. The planning commission must still approve re-platting applications for minor improvements.

House GOP leadership changes hands Loveland business owner picked to lead minority party By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A Loveland lawmaker has gone from delivering pizzas to Colorado houses to being the Republican leader of the Colorado House. Rep. Brian DelGrosso on July 11 was elected House minority leader by members of his party. DelGrosso, who delivered pizzas for Domino’s before buying three franchises of his own, was praised by fellow Republicans during a brief election at the Capitol. “I’ve seen Brian fight relentlessly for our values, and for our caucus, and for what’s dear to our heart,” said Rep. Libby Szabo, RArvada. “And I appreciate that. And I believe those are key traits to being a leader. “And he makes a hell of a pizza.” DelGrosso has served in the House since 2009 and has been a member of the House Finance and Appropriations committees. A Wyoming native, DelGrosso moved to Colorado after serving in the Air Force and the Wyoming National Guard, before he delivered pizzas for a local Domino’s franchise.

DelGrosso now owns Domino’s franchises in Loveland and Windsor. “It’s definitely very humbling for me to be here today, to be in this position,” DelGrosso said. DelGrosso replaces Rep. Mark Waller, RColorado Springs as minority leader. Waller stepped down from his leadership role on July 11, so he can focus on his campaign for attorney general. Waller said he felt “a little bit melancholy” to be stepping down as minority leader, but said “it’s the right thing to do.” Waller said he was proud of how he led his party during the recent legislative session — one where Republicans faced an uphill battle on just about every issue in the Democrat-controlled General Assembly. “While we lost a lot of votes because we simply did not have the numbers, we certainly won a lot of debates,” Waller said. DelGrosso blasted the agenda that Democrats pursued this year. DelGrosso opposed many of the efforts that Democrats touted, such as school finance reform, civil unions and gun control. DelGrosso said he will work to “repeal and correct the onerous bills that were passed this previous session.” “Today isn’t about me, it’s about our election,” he said. “And we all know that

Rep. Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, right, stands next to Rep. Kevin Priola, R-Henderson, after being elected House minority leader at the Capitol on July 11. Photos by Vic Vela elections have consequences.” House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, DDenver, shook hands with DelGrosso after the election and took the high road in a

press statement that was issued afterward. “We don’t always agree, but we do always manage to have a productive dialogue,” Ferrandino said.

Hickenlooper gets behind tax-hike proposal Ballot question would fund school finance overhaul By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Gov. John Hickenlooper acknowledged on July 10 that the tax hike being proposed to fund a new school finance formula is not his “exact preference,” but it is one that he thinks is “winnable” and will support. The governor’s comments, which followed an unrelated Capitol press confer-

ence, mark the first time Hickenlooper has told reporters he supports the specific tax initiative tied to a school funding overhaul that advocates have decided to pursue. The two-tiered tax hike — which will have a greater impact on higher wage earners — would fund Senate Bill 213, the “Future School Finance Act,” so long as voters approve a ballot initiative that will create about $950 million in new taxes. “I’m not sure it was my exact preference,” said Hickenlooper, referring to the tax proposal that was chosen by education groups last month. “But the bottom line is,

you gotta have something on (the ballot) that’s winnable.” Hickenlooper has been pressed to confirm his support for the tax hike since he signed Senate Bill 213 into law in May. He told reporters after the signing that he had his preferences on what the tax would look like, but he would not share them. If funded, the new school finance act would create full-day kindergarten, provide preschool for at-risk children, and would put more money into needs-based programs for special education students and children who are learning English.

The act also aims to increase per-pupil funding across the state in a more equitable fashion than the current system allows. Initiative 22 will ask Colorado voters in November to approve an increase in the state income tax, which is now 4.63 percent for all Coloradans. Under Initiative 22, residents who make up to $75,000 a year would see their rate rise to 5 percent. Income above that level would be taxed at 5.9 percent. Ballot organizers have until Aug. 5 to collect 86,105 valid signatures for the initiative to be placed on the ballot.

Gala, golf help military families By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Steve Smith likens the evolution of a charity golf tournament benefiting military families to the planting and nurturing of grass seeds. Now in its second year, the Folds of Honor Golf Tournament and Gala Dinner is showing more than just signs of life. Last year, a combined tournament and luncheon raised $10,000 for college scholarships for the children and spouses of military personnel disabled or killed in combat. Smith, founder and co-chairman the Parker tournament, says the success of the inaugural event invigorated the six-member organizing team made up of himself, co-chairwoman Mary White, donations director Tim Swanson, Laura McDonald, Ella Smith and Cecil Wilson. “At the end meeting last September or October, I looked at them and said, `next year, we’re going to make $50,000,’ and nobody blinked,” Smith said. The national foundation took notice

FOLDS OF HONOR EVENT Who: Parker-based nonprofit Folds of Honor Foundation, county residents, golfers What: Charity golf tournament ($150 per person) and dinner gala ($100 per person), packages available When: 4:30 p.m. July 28 and 10 a.m. July 29 Where: The Club at Pradera, 5225 Raintree Drive, Parker Why: to raise scholarship money for children and spouses of those killed or disabled in combat

of the Parker group’s work and sent them a plaque for being in the top 100 earning Folds of Honor events. The two-day 2013 event, which includes a gala and silent auction for non-golfers and some of those playing in the tournament, is being hosted by a new course, The Club at Pradera. Smith says Pradera was looking to get involved with Folds of Honor, and “we dropped it right in their lap,” Smith said. The $100-a-plate gala is scheduled for July 28 and includes an acoustic set by local favorites the Tripping Griswolds and a

dinner with delicacies like steak Wellington wraps. A simultaneous silent auction features donations from 60 local businesses, such as signed Peyton Manning and John Elway footballs and an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2014 U.S. Open. The golf tournament, in conjunction with a raffle and Qdoba-catered lunch, will be July 29. Last year, 65 golfers took to the links. Smith expects that number to climb this year, particularly because Douglas County is so supportive of military causes. “We live in one of the areas in the country that, they get this. You don’t have to explain it to them,” he said. The event not only pays homage to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country, but is also a tribute to Smith’s and White’s fathers. The group named the scholarship in honor of Mary White’s dad, who spent 30 years in the Marine Corps, and Smith’s dad, an Army veteran who was wounded twice while serving in Korea. Visit www.foldsofhonor-parker.org or call 720-635-1788 for information or to register for the golf tournament and/or gala.

Urban planner to visit town

Dana Crawford, who initiated a concept of urban renewal that was one of the first of its kind in the United States, is coming to Parker. She pioneered the redevelopment of Denver’s historic Larimer Square in the mid-1960s, which today serves as a prototype for the revitalization of forgotten

main streets and architectural landmarks throughout the country. Crawford has redeveloped more than 1 million square feet of historic property in the city of Denver. As part of her July 24 visit to Parker, Crawford will share with the Creative District Steering Committee her observations regarding how the revitalization of the historic Mainstreet Center could help spur development in the Old Town Creative District. She will be joined by an urban planner from Longmont whose practice focuses on creating authentic places that are economically vital. Together they led the visioning process to create an arts and entertainment district in downtown Longmont. Crawford’s visit starts with a community reception at 5:30 p.m. July 24 at the Mainstreet Center, followed by a formal presentation at 6:15 p.m. The public is welcome to attend and is encouraged to RSVP to astebbin@parkeronline.org.

parker police reports Pedestrian hits car

Officers contacted a man who reported his vehicle had been damaged by a pedestrian near the intersection of Pine Drive and Rodeo Circle around 5 p.m. June 15. The man said he was driving down the street when an unknown white male, who was described as having tan skin, brown hair and an unshaven face, was observed walking in the street. The male was wearing tan shorts and a white T-shirt that said “Avaholic” on the front of it. He was also described as wearing a “big silver ring.” The victim said as he drove past, the male reached out and punched the rear passenger window and either kicked or punched the rear passenger door, causing damage. Police are requesting the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect.

Naked man arrested

Around 6:50 p.m. June 15, officers were dispatched to the RTD parking lot on Longs Way regarding an alcohol violation. Witnesses told officers that a 23-yearold male had been observed running around naked in the RTD parking lot

several times and had also been observed drinking alcohol. When officers contacted the man, they detected the odor of alcohol. He was taken into custody for indecent exposure and violation of a restraining order and transported to the Douglas County jail where he was released.

suspect made threatening statements toward the victim. A 44-year-old man was cited for harassment.

Burglaries reported

About 8:45 a.m. June 17, the Parker Police Department responded to the King Soopers gas station at 12959 S. Parker Road on a report of an assault. The victim reported she had been pushed by a male while at the gas station. The male suspect put his hand on her shoulder and there was a verbal altercation about the way she had parked. A 66-yearold man was issued a summons for harassment.

The Parker Police Department responded to burglary calls at separate homes on June 24 and July 8. A victim reported a burglary in the 10300 block of Severance Drive that occurred between June 16 and June 21. Various items were stolen from the home. Officers were dispatched two weeks later to the 21800 block of Silver Meadow Lane after a homeowner reported signs of an attempted burglary. The victim reported a window screen on his home had been bent and removed by someone on an unknown date and time. There were no suspects in either case.

At around 3:10 p.m. July 7, an officer responded to the 10300 block of Stoneflower Drive on a report of a stolen vehicle. The victim said he works for a dealership in Aurora and has been driving a 2013

Subaru Outback that belongs to the dealership. He parked the vehicle in his driveway in front of his house, locked the vehicle, and began working in the back yard at approximately 11 a.m. At around 3 p.m., he noticed the Subaru was gone. He was not aware of any reason the dealership would have taken the vehicle from his driveway. Two weeks prior, just after he parked the Outback in the driveway, he saw a darkcolored Jeep Cherokee with the front doors removed, sitting in front of his house. The Jeep was occupied by an unknown male and female. In mid-June, he lost a set of keys to the Outback and they have not resurfaced. The keys went missing while he was visiting his son in Stonegate. There was also a set of his house keys on the missing set of keys and he was concerned the missing set of keys was used to steal the vehicle and now the thieves know where he lives and have a key to his home. He plans on changing the locks to his house. There was no broken glass or signs of force used to enter or steal the vehicle. There were no suspects or leads and the case was deactivated.

Old latex paint? Don’t flip out! Dry it out! Have you been stockpiling cans of latex paint, waiting for the next Douglas County Household Chemical Roundup? Good news – latex paint is water-based and safe to throw away, if prepared properly. If the paint is completely dry, simply remove the lid and throw the can away. If there is still wet paint in the can, mix in some dirt or cat litter to fully absorb it. Once it is dry, throw it away. Save yourself a trip to the Roundup (and the $25 contribution) if you have water-based paint. Remember, this only applies to water-based latex paint, and NO paint can be dumped in the gutter or thrown in the trash wet.

Commissioners OK Sterling Ranch again

alerway e, Plans call for breaking ground aphe on development later this year not uld By Ryan Boldrey ay. rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com d the The Sterling Ranch planned developoors ment has been unanimously approved for The the second time in three years by the Douglas County commissioners. e With the July 10 approval, the project — f which calls for a 12,000-home community le he located on 3,400 acres northeast of Roxborough State Park and south of the Chatfield ys onCommunity Association — hopes to break ground by the end of 2013. “After six-plus years of hearings, I’m d to now thrilled,” said Harold Smethills, Sterling me. Ranch managing director. “Everybody’s been heard and the commissioners made gns their decision. So now it’s onward to buildle. ing homes, and we’re ready to go.” The development, which will remain e 37 percent open space, has plans for 30 miles of trails, multiple parks and wildlife corridors, a multi-field athletic complex, a hospital, fire services, schools, and a town center patterned after Littleton’s historic downtown. “This development sets an example for future developments to come down the road,” said Sterling Ranch attorney Gil McNeish, citing mitigation plans, open space

preservation and water conservation techniques, such as rainwater harvesting, that are all part of the development’s master plan. About a dozen opponents, who were either Chatfield or Roxborough residents, spoke out against the project at the 4½hour hearing. Most spoke against the detriment the project would have on their rural way of life, and expressed concerns over the development having enough water secured to move forward. “I think that the Board of County Commissioners has a fiduciary duty to the citizens of Douglas County and not the developers,” said Dennis Larratt, speaking on behalf of the Chatfield Community Association. “Yet in this case it looks like the board is considering the requests of developers over the vocal concerns of many concerned and existing citizens.” Attorney David Foster, who was also representing Sterling Ranch, said it was important to remember that a number of people had come before the board previously to voice their support of the project. Those people were asked not to testify on July 10, he said, as this hearing dealt with specific legal issues, primarily in terms of the development’s appeal on whether water supply standards were being met. The county initially approved the project in 2011, but in 2012, 18th Judicial Dis-

forth before, there were many different elements of arguments. The district court chose to determine on only one item. All of those other elements are still live and can be brought back. Be prepared that those are still valid.” Smethills said he fully expects another challenge from the Chatfield group, but that is up to his attorneys to handle. In the meantime, he said, they are ready to finally move forward and he feels that day has arrived. “Today was all about new information,” said Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella. “The board of county commissioners heard the application and made a ruling in May 2011. ... The only new information I heard today is the new (regulation) and the clarification on the statute, which is consistent with the interpretation the Board of County Commissioners made on the original approval.” “A lot of information was brought back that we actually heard at the previous hearing,” said Commissioner Jack Hilbert. “Rehashing that information that we had already made a decision on isn’t going to garner us any new information because that already has been vetted. I was looking for that new information but it wasn’t there.” The development expects, once it reaches build-out, to have an annual economic windfall of $400 million.

trict Judge Paul King overturned that ruling, stating that in accordance with state law the project did not have sufficient water secured to move forward. The county then appealed the district court ruling, stating that King had misinterpreted the law and that all that was necessary was that the development proves it has enough water to go ahead with the initial phase of the project. With the appeal still pending, the passage of Colorado Senate Bill 258 this May gave clarification to that law, agreeing with Sterling Ranch’s interpretation. Because of that, the developers requested a hearing with the commissioners, asking them to take a second look at their application. Due to the passage of SB-258, Sterling Ranch did not even bring into play on July 10 the fact that its water provider, Dominion Water and Sanitation District, had since King’s ruling secured enough water to satisfy the entire project, as part of the WISE (Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency) Partnership’s agreement with Denver and Aurora Water. Still, the opposition was left upset, and Larratt pointed out that their battle may not be over and that the Chatfield group may contest other issues in addition to water in court. “There are more reasons not to approve this project,” he said. “In the … appeal put

Fed taper may be painful cold turkey Most investors are opening their June statements about now and wondering what happened. Surely there must be a mistake. Everything was looking pretty good at the end of the first quarter and then we had a realization: Someday the Federal Reserve Board will start to taper off on their monthly bond purchase program, which is pumping money into the economy. This awareness pushed markets into an unusual phenomenon, when asset classes behave as one. Stocks went down, bonds went down, gold went down and there was no benefit in the month of June for diversification. While this happens rarely, it is still painful. It feels like going cold turkey after a prolonged addiction. The concerns are understandable. Those in favor of continued Quantitative Easing do not feel the U.S. economy is strong enough to sustain positive growth without continued stimulus. This could lead to an economic downturn, deflation or even recession. Those in favor of turning off the flow of money from the Fed are concerned we don’t have a true economic environment with the false stimulus. This makes it difficult to determine real valuations and runs the risk of future inflation if the money supply continues to expand artificially. The very slow measured growth since the last recession has put us in this position. The low GDP number announced for the fourth revision of the first quarter was under 2 percent. It is hard to feel very positive about an economy that is only producing 1.8 percent output more than four years after recession. Normally by now we would have enough momentum to carry us through the rest of the business cycle. The very slow growth and stubborn unemployment cause us to question the stability of the economy once the Fed stimulus is removed. Investors would like to know how to allocate investments for the future. It is difficult to understand when to buy, sell or what to hold when everything goes down

just on a rumor. It is ironic that the markets had such a significant negative reaction to no news. Fed Chairman Bernanke did not say he would taper, in fact he said virtually nothing new at all. Perhaps the calendar is ticking by and most logical people understand this can’t continue much longer. Therefore, you might want to ask, “Are we willing to suffer some short-term losses in order to get the economy back on track? What will it take to get off the Fed and learn how to swim on our own?” Stay tuned … there is more to play out here. The new more transparent Fed has indicated many times, there won’t be a reason to taper QE3 until we see unemployment around 6.5 percent and inflation closer to 2 percent. The current prediction is that it will be 2014 before we see significant changes. Meanwhile, as if a light switch turned on, July numbers are looking much better. This further confirms why it is impossible to guess where markets will be and why a well-balanced strategy is important to keep you focused on your goals.

Gin maker offers free drinks for return of 400-pound vessel

bathtub mystery

July 19-20

distillery missing beloved bathtub Andrew Causey makes gin. Although the spirits he channels with partner Mitch Abate at the Downslope Distillery are far from the storied bathtub hooch made during Prohibition, he does keeps a bathtub around as a sort of a sentimental tribute to days gone by. But as Causey opened his distillery the morning of July 7, he noticed something was missing. That something was the 400-pound cast iron bathtub that used to welcome tourists and tasters to the Centennial-based smallbatch distillery. “I really had to just stop and do a doubletake,” Causey said. “At first we thought we would get a ransom note, but we didn’t.” Although the tub was old, he joked that it was not a claw-footed model, “so it probably didn’t walk off.” The giant enameled vessel was actually a hand-me-down from a relative, and Causey thought that parking it in front of the distillery’s front entrance would spark a giggle and add a bit of period charm. Causey said he never thought about bolting it to the ground, because, well, it weighs 400 pounds. Hoping to catch a glimpse of the bathtub bandits in action, he checked with neighboring businesses that have security cameras. “And of course, when we looked, all the cameras were pointed in every other direction except where we needed them,” he said

things to do

Centennial gin maker Andy Causey wants his bathtub back. Causey owns the Downslope Distillery, just off Arapahoe and Jordan roads, and says thieves swiped the 400-pound cast iron bathtub that sat near the front door of their industrial park operation. More a nod to gin makers and distillers of the past, Casuey says the tub isn’t worth much, but he has offered a liquid reward for its safe return. Photo by deborah Grigsby with a chuckle. Causey cedes he didn’t report the incident to law enforcement, simply because he figured it was a lost cause and officers probably had a lot more important things to do than chase after his missing bathtub. “I’m guessing by now it’s probably already chopped up and in the scrap pile, sold for the value of the metal,” he said with a sigh. However, should the tub still be intact, Causey said he’d like to have it back. No questions asked. It’s more about the bathtub, he said, than trying to finger someone for petty theft. “Really, I just want the bathtub back,” he said. Causey said if anyone delivers the tub back — in one piece — to the distillery, he’d splurge for a round of drinks at the tasting table, no matter what the motive. The only legal catch to his offer, of course, would be that everyone is old enough to drink.

With golf event, area’s cup runneth over One of the biggest sporting events you’ve probably never heard of will take place in the Denver metro area next month. The Solheim Cup will bring two dozen of the best players in women’s professional golf to Parker. We know. August in Colorado means the Broncos are back — and we’re excited about that, too. But the NFL’s regular season will still be weeks away during the Aug. 13-18 Solheim Cup. Take a timeout from the preseason, and turn your attention to the Colorado Golf Club. That might mean ordering tickets for the event. Or it might mean just watching on TV. Either way, the event is worthy of acknowledging, for a number of reasons: • The top international team competi-

our view tion in women’s golf, the Solheim Cup will feature 12 players from the United States playing against 12 from Europe. (Think Ryder Cup, for those of you familiar with men’s pro golf.) Even if you normally don’t follow the women’s game, or golf in general, we think you will be impressed by the quality of play. Sure, you’ll see some precision pitches and putts, but also, with Colorado’s elevation, you might be treated to some 300-yard drives.

• The event puts a spotlight on women’s athletics. If you have a young daughter interested in sports, these talented women could serve as an inspiration for what can be achieved. At the same time, it highlights good sportsmanship — we’re fairly certain you won’t see any violent temper tantrums or hear talk of performance-enhancing drugs. • The Solheim Cup will help elevate the Denver area’s status on the global stage. Nothing wrong with letting people across the world know there is more to Colorado than skiing, beer and the Broncos. • The event is expected to provide a boost for the area’s economy.

Life is nothing to lose sleep over

Customer service goes for the gold Really, I have to share with you my most recent shopping experiences. You see it wasn’t the “terrible” or even “horrific” event that caught my attention, but rather a series of employee and consumer interactions that were so over-the-top “better than good” that I felt compelled to recognize the full-time and part-time employees in our local stores and shops. As a coach and trainer to the sales profession I thought I may have been having an “out of body experience” during my most recent day of shopping. I had many stores to frequent that day as I prepared for my daughter’s birthday, a vacation and a business trip. My checklist was ready, the stores identified, and “in-and-out” of each store was my mantra. I expected the worst and received the best. And then it happened. “What may I help you shop for today?” That was the greeting I received by a bright-eyed and enthusiastic 17- or 18-year-old girl who prior to my entry was straightening up the shelves in the store. Her genuine smile and eager interest caught my attention. However, I knew what I needed and proceeded to grab those items and headed straight for the checkout line. Although the service was awesome, I didn’t pay particular attention to the experience as I hurried to the next store on my list. And once again I was greeted with an energetic smile and welcome when I entered the shop. Please keep in mind that I teach people how to sell, how to manage and how to provide exceptional customer service. These were not my clients and I was feeling like all of a sudden every store that I entered, the staff was going out of their way to make sure that my shopping needs were taken care of. Was someone setting me up? Or did the retail world undergo a radical change? Did teenagers and young adults become aware of how important their role is to the success of the store that they represent and to the shopper’s experience? These were the thoughts that went racing through my mind after each and every store I visited that day. Each store visit was better than the previous one. So I applaud the extraordinary customer service efforts of our local store owners and employees. I congratulate the teams and

Night owls snack on chips and cookies and pies. Right now I am both birds. Instead of a good night’s sleep, I have become a serial napper. I sleep for a few hours and then get up and get busy. I have been seen at the grocery store at 2 a.m. I took an Asian friend to dinner one evening and asked her what she was going to do later. She said, “Eat.” She said that she ate, mostly noodle dishes, periodically throughout the day and night. I thought she was a straight-out loon. Now I understand because that’s the way I am sleeping. And it seems to be working. I have never been more productive. I don’t recommend it, however. I am able to do it because I am retired, and don’t have to be at the office in the morning. If you have a day job and tried this, you’d be on the streets.

letter to the editor Doubts about Sterling Ranch water individuals that made my day of shopping “better than good.” I am grateful for the management teams that have trained and shared their experiences with the newest of sales associates so they are better equipped and ready to provide an incredible shopping experience. I am not sure about you, but whenever I receive a level of service that is above and beyond my expectation, I want to recognize and appreciate the people responsible. So after the first two stores where I thought it may have been an anomaly, it was a refreshing and unexpected surprise to receive the same treatment in every store I shopped in that day. These are our friends and family members who work in these stores and put forth this effort. These are people we know and love and hang out with each and every day but maybe fail to recognize or appreciate them for what they do. Please join me in saying “thank you” whenever we can. Dealing with the public is not always easy, as people can be extremely demanding sometimes. However my most recent observations and actual experiences have proved to me that we are surrounded by fantastic sales associates who care about us as a consumer. If you are a store owner, manager, sales associate or member of the customer care team I just want to say how much I appreciate you and all that you do, thank you. Have you had an exceptional shopping or customer service experience? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com and I hope that you will have a better than good week. Michael Norton, a resident of Highlands Ranch, is the former president of the Zig Ziglar organization and CEO and founder of www.candogo.com

Regarding the Douglas County commissioners’ approval of the Sterling Ranch development: What I would like to see “down the road” is an actual water use comparison to what is projected. My feeling is that Sterling Ranch is using “smoke and mirrors” to make the water usage match what can be obtained from every conceivable source.

I find it very difficult to believe that ev- PaRk ery person in the proposed Sterling Ranch teen on community will actually use less than half at Park of what is considered “normal” in the sur- for age rounding areas. Unfortunately, only time will tell, by then it will be too late, the damage to the limited water resources will already have been put in motion. James Weglarz Larkspur

and later in the day, arrived home grumpier. Those who know me see a changed man. “There goes the former Mr. Scrooge,” I heard someone say about me. This arrangement gives me three days in one. We all feel the pressures of trying to get 30 hours of life into a 24-hour day. But not me. I get everything done without high anxiety. Without feeling like I am having a breakdown. Without feeling like I want to jump. How long can this go on? I do not know. I do know that I never do the same thing over and over for very long. Some new method of coping with existence may occur to me next Wednesday. I am awash with black coffee, the daily paper just arrived, and the first of my three-days-in-one is winding down. As good as it gets, and gets, and gets. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast. net

crowned Ms. Colorado State, created a women’s networking group called FemCity Denver, and started a career as a public speaker. That was after a brief stint working for a roofing company. It’s difficult to tell which direction she wants to go, but Marie sets the record straight when asked about her ultimate goal. “I would love to brand myself to get in line with an international nonprofit and be the image associated with that nonprofit,” she says. And that brand-development campaign has already begun. By putting her face and name out in Denver, Marie hopes to regain the minor celebrity status she enjoyed in Lake Geneva, where she resurrected her career as a runway model and dabbled in numerous charitable efforts over the last five years.

Her dream to become a philanthropic international spokesmodel might come across as lofty, but with Marie, it doesn’t seem out of reach at all. She has degrees in marketing and is getting in some good practice by plugging her sponsors during Ms. Colorado State appearances. She has taken her message of hope and self-worth to high school students. Marie has also spoken to elementary school kids, instilling in them the belief that “the smallest hands can make the largest impact.” “I discovered I could make a difference with my voice,” says Marie, who cites Eva Peron and Angelina Jolie as her idols. Although she is pulled in many directions — her next gig is a YouTube series that will have her interviewing Douglas County business owners — Marie says she does not want to look back on her life knowing that she didn’t strive to meet her own expectations. “When I have a daughter one day, I want to tell her I went for it and struggled through it,” she said.

Charter School in Parker, enabled teachers to explore a “digital playground,” a room brimming with devices from different companies. They also had guided practices and “campfire” sessions, small group discussions that allow teachers to share what they already know with each other. “They’re in here using learning-environment language,” said Kim McMonagle, the school district’s director of educational technology. The teachers are encouraged to share what they have learned on the “mountaintop,” or private forums specifically designed for them to teach others, creating an exponential learning experience for those involved, she said.

McMonagle keeps up on the constantly changing world of classroom technologies through conferences and monthly group gatherings with education professionals from throughout Colorado. Petersen says when he started with the DCSD less than 10 years ago, teachers and students followed an unofficial “bring your own device” rule, or BYOD. These days, there is a push for “one-to-one,” or one electronic device per student. Sue McTigue, a music teacher at Soaring Hawk Elementary School, led a Geek Camp lesson on how to use technology in a musical setting. She plans to use Edmodo, Smart Boards and White Boards for in-class and at-home learning. For example, students can watch tutorials on how to play a specific song and then use Garage Band software to submit recordings directly to her. Geek Camp helps teachers earn professional growth incentives and meet re-licensure requirements.

Deal reached on two gun issues Lawsuit still going forward to challenge new statutes By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com It’s pretty rare when both sides of a guncontrol debate — much less a lawsuit — walk away happy. But that’s what happened recently, after parties who are tangled in a lawsuit over recently instituted Colorado gun laws came to an agreement on a couple of areas of contention. The agreement was limited to clarifying language having to do with limits on gun ammunition magazines and whether gun owners could allow anyone besides themselves to handle those magazines. The agreement had nothing to do with the meat that’s left in the lawsuit, which deals with whether the gun laws — which were passed by the Democrat-controlled Legislature and signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper earlier this year — violate the Second Amendment. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit against Hickenlooper — which are made up of gun-rights groups that include 55 county sheriffs — were set to ask a federal judge on July 10 to block parts of the gun laws, specifically one that limits large-capacity ammunition magazines to 15 rounds. But, the night before the hearing, the two sides ended up coming to an agreement that clarifies which magazines are banned under the law, and clears up confusion over issues pertaining to the temporary possession of gun magazines by someone besides the owner. “We were ready for what we thought would be a big battle,” said plaintiffs’ attorney Dave Kopel. “As it turned out, 24 hours from the hearing, we had everything we were asking for.” Hickenlooper, a Democrat, and Attorney General John Suthers, a Republican, had drafted memos outlining how the gun laws should be enforced. But the plaintiffs argued that the memos regarding the maga-

zine limit law needed clarification. The plaintiffs were concerned that the law banned magazines with removable baseplates, which are “designed to be readily converted” to hold more than 15 rounds. This, they were set to argue, could have ended up banning nearly all ammunition magazines. The plaintiffs also were concerned that language in the law that requires gun owners to be in “continuous possession” of their magazines would essentially bar anyone else besides the gun owners from handling them. The state’s attorneys agreed to make technical language adjustments in the memos, clarifying that the laws do not affect magazines with baseplates and that “continuous possession” only means continuous gun ownership. Because the two sides came to agreement on the fixes, a federal judge refused to grant an injunction that had been requested by the plaintiffs. “That’s all we tried to solve and they were solved,” Kopel said. “We fixed a tremendous amount of real-life problems for citizens and law enforcement.” Solicitor General Dan Domenico said the state had no problem addressing the technical fixes. “In general, we’re very pleased with how things turned out,” he said. “We came to an agreement with the plaintiffs to clarify a few things that they’ve been concerned about, that are consistent with our interpretation of these statutes since before the governor signed them.” Hickenlooper told reporters later that day that the lawyers “were trying to use common sense to figure out how, going forward, this would not a huge burden (on gun owners), but at the same time reasonable.” “This is what was intended all the way along, to make sure there’s no misunderstanding,” the governor said. “We’re not trying to ban all these magazines ....” What’s left of the lawsuit deals with Second Amendment issues. Kopel said the case is “likely going to trial,” which is expected to happen later this year.

Car break-in suspect turns himself in Staff report Redanos Barihe, 21, of Denver, turned himself in July 2 and is being held in Douglas County on a $100,000 bond in connection with a June crime spree involving more than 30 car break-ins, a home burglary and car theft in two Castle Rock neighborhoods, according to information from Castle Rock police and the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office. Barihe could face charges of one count of felony aggravated motor vehicle theft; one count of felony criminal mischief; 34 counts of first-degree criminal trespassing of a motor vehicle; one count of felony burglary; four counts of identity theft; and one count of false information for crimes that occurred in The Meadows and Castle Oaks subdivisions between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. June 20. Police said a stolen 2005 F150 four-door

truck has been found. Items stolen from the cars and home included two handguns, which have been recovered, as well as wallets and electronics such as iPods. Some of the stolen items have turned up at pawnshops around the Denver metro area. Castle Rock police are asking for the public’s continued help in identifying at least two other suspects in the crimes that occurred that night. “This case was solved so quickly thanks to a combination of stellar detective work by our officers and the public’s diligence,” Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley said. Residents should lock their homes and their vehicles at night and close their garage doors, according to a police news release. Valuables, especially firearms, should not be left inside unattended vehicles. Anyone with information about additional suspects should call Castle Rock Police Detective Jason Maes at 303-663-6100.

By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com She’s only 10, but looks like she has soldiered through some war. She’s long-limbed and bony, and her eyes are red and tired after multiple surgeries for detached retinas. “I play by myself at recess all the time,” said Maddy Collins about experiences at South Ridge Elementary School in Castle Rock. Some kids call her “alien” and she sits alone at lunch, because they worry if their trays touch hers, they’ll have to throw their food away. That’s what Maddy, who was born with Marfan syndrome, faces from many classmates. And then there’s what she and her family face every day. There is a long list of things she can’t do. So that she can live. “If she takes a sharp blow to the chest, that could be the end to Maddy,” said Maddy Collins’ mother, Tara McGuire, 30, of Castle Rock. Maddy has an enlarged aorta that can tear easily because of the fragile way it’s constructed. And that’s only one of many physical issues. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder in which the “glue” that hold the body’s connective tissue together is defective and so causes a myriad of problems — every-

Maddy Collins, 10, right, and her mom, Tara McGuire, 30, of Castle Rock, talk about the challenges of Maddy living with Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder that weakens multiple body systems including, most seriously, the aorta. Photo by Virginia Grantier thing from heart problems to skeletal and visions issues. Maddy has had surgeries for all of that. She dislocated her elbow once, just by moving her arm a little too quickly while dancing. Her skin is thin, and she has little muscle. She can’t jump on a trampoline or other strenuous activities, mainly to protect that

aorta. But she can swim and loves it, she said, although she can’t go to the neighborhood Burgess Memorial Pool, about a block from the family’s rented duplex, because of the entrance fee. The Castle Rock Recreation Center months ago gave Maddy and family a free one-year membership so she can participate in the main form of exercise OK’d by

doctors and concerned family. “Things are tight,” McGuire said. McGuire can only work part-time because of the constant trips to Children’s Hospital, and the family of three children depends mostly on her husband’s new job as an electrical engineer. But she said the medical bills keep coming in and there are mechanical problems with her car, so there’s one car left for Maddy’s stepfather’s commute and for her hospital trips. There isn’t money for new clothes or for gymnastics classes for Maddy’s older sister. It’s not a well-known disease, so families and friends are planning a fundraising event for Maddy from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 20 at a location arranged by a family friend, in the Sapphire Pointe neighborhood’s clubhouse at 7550 Soapstone Way, in Castle Rock. The event is called Spa for a Cause, with all proceeds going to Maddy’s medical fund. There will be facials offered, massages from licensed massage therapists, demonstrations and appetizers. McGuire said the event isn’t about raising a ton of money — although that would help — as much as it is giving people the chance to meet Maddy and hear her story, eliminate fears, and get to know the girl who wants to become a doctor. “I want to help people,” Maddy said.

INSIDE

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? I specialize in listing and selling real estate all over the south Denver metro area. My clients appreciate my knowledge and expertise, work ethic, commitment to helping them achieve their real estate goals, and professionalism. What is the most challenging part of what you do? Balancing work and family life is the most challenging part of my job.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I have two daughters (one in college, one in high school) that keep me busy. I spend lots of time being a spectator at my younger daughter’s volleyball games. I love to exercise every day, belong to a great gym but also enjoy biking and walking outdoors. I also enjoy visiting various mountain communities several times a year with my family. What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? You only get one chance to make a good first impression, so get your home ready to sell before it goes on the market. Price the home correctly. I like helping my clients with those decisions, and take pride that my listings look great when they hit the market. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? rep Before looking at homes, get prequalified by a reputable lender. Put some thought into what features you want in a home and where you would like to live. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? The most unusual encounter I’ve ever had was with a guest at an Open house that I hosted. He took it upon himself to “forage” through the kitchen cabinets and closets looking for prescrip prescription medication. It was very unsettling to have that occur during an Open House, and to have to explain it to my Sellers.

area for its city life, suburbs, schools, open space, walking & biking trails, and great infrastructure. I like living close to downtown and to mountain communities. I appreciate Denver’s blue sky, four-season climate and active lifestyle. Denver offers a great quality of life.

Job hunting for the over 50 T hough the job market has improved in recent years, many men and women are still out of work. Perhaps most troubling, many of those people are age 55 and older who are fearful of an uncertain future where they are seemingly overlooked. According to a 2012 study from the Government Accountability Office, the number of long-term unemployed people age 55 and older has more than doubled since the onset of the recession. For many unemployed over the age of 50, the harsh reality of a job market that does not value their experience or skill set is deeply disconcerting. But as difficult as the job market can be for older men and women, it’s not impossible to find a job, though it might take some ingenuity and perseverance. Don’t limit yourself. Those who were victimized by layoffs should expand their job searches to more than just their previous fields. While it’s definitely a good idea to maintain contacts in your old field and routinely look for openings in that field, it’s also a good idea to examine your skill set and experience and find a new field where these things apply. Chances are your years of experience are transferable to many fields, and redirecting your job hunting efforts to a new line of work might yield opportunities you are not even aware existed. Embrace the 21st century. Many companies or organizations mistakenly assume that the digital age has passed older workers by. Workers in their 50s might be unfairly categorized as dinosaurs with no grasp of mobile technology or the latest software programs. But those applicants who can demonstrate their proficien-

cy in the latest technologies, including mobile technologies like smartphones, tablets and social media, can put themselves above fellow applicants. Start working. If you are mired in long-term unemployment and spend every day at home, get out and start working. Volunteering is a great way to lift your spirits, network with other professionals and maybe even learn of employment opportunities you won’t hear about on the couch at home. And volunteering, be it with a charity or a professional organization, is a great way to revive your resume and continue to add accomplishments despite your unemployment. Emphasize your age. Many unemployed men and women over 50 tend to look at their age as a hindrance that is preventing them from finding gainful employment. But your age can be an advantage, as many organizations find older applicants are more reliable and need less time to adapt than younger applicants with less experience. When emphasizing your age as a positive, don’t focus on job titles, which many other unemployed men and women your age likely highlight on their resumes. Instead, focus on specific achievements and accomplishments and reduce the emphasis you place on job tasks. Achievements tend to stand out above titles, and men and women over 50 likely have achieved more than younger, less experienced applicants. Think small. Smaller companies wherein employees tend to wear many hats are more likely to value experience than a larger company. By the age of 50, many professionals have vast experi-

CARRIERS WANTED NORTH AND SOUTH METRO ROUTES AVAILABLE

ence in a host of different positions, and that versatility is likely to appeal to a small company looking for employees who can multitask. Finding a job after the age of 50 isn’t easy. But taking a broad approach and emphasizing as opposed to downplaying your experience might help you stand out among a crowded pool of applicants. ■ Metro Creative Services

Special to Colorado Community Media A fast-growing sport combining elements of tennis, badminton and pingpong, pickleball has swept across America and made its way to south metro Denver.

South Suburban Parks and Recreation embraced the trend last November at its Sheridan center and expanded it to the Lone Tree location last month.

While the game is new to many, its roots date back decades. Named after founder Joel Pritchard’s dog Pickles, the

Dr. Gale Hollers of Castle Pines returns a serve during a July 12 game of pickleball at the Lone Tree Recreation Center. The game is similar to tennis, and is played on a court with the same dimensions as a doubles badminton court. Photos by Deborah Grigsby game began on Bainbridge Island, Wash., in 1965 when Pritchard and Bill Bell misplaced the shuttlecock to their badminton set and had to improvise a new form of entertainment using the pooch’s perforated plastic ball. Pickleball is most commonly a doubles sport, played on a court similar to tennis but with one-third the area to cover, and even smaller when played as singles. Players wield wooden or composite paddles, just

shorter than a tennis racket, as they swing with precision at a wiffle-like ball and shuffle in all directions across the court. Don’t be fooled by the cutesy name and adorable story. Though there may not be much room to run about and the lighter ball generally flies with less fervor than in tennis, the game holds real excitement for those who play it. According to the USA Pickleball Association, there are more than 100,000 active players in America. In especially competitive pickleball areas, a special court on one’s property is very common — akin to a basketball hoop in the driveway. Attendance at Sheridan’s program has been increasing and is becoming more consistent since its opening, according to facility supervisor Eddie Kanoza. There are no lessons offered, but a few regulars, including Kanoza, are available to help beginners at the drop-in gym time from 10 a.m. to noon on Mondays and Wednesdays. The Lone Tree Recreation Center runs a similar operation from 3 to 6 p.m. on Sundays and 1 to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thurs-

days and Fridays. Four of the center’s pickleball connoisseurs are BJ Pell, Tad Deutsch and Darryl and Ann Shaw. They’ve taken it upon themselves to manage the advancement of the program and help newcomers get involved. “We’re just trying to bring anybody new in who wants to come and we start teaching them some stuff. We’re not real teachers but we’ve played. Hopefully we can bring them to the next level,” Pell said. Fortunately for the amateur coaches, pickleball proves to be a pretty simple sport to learn with the right experience. “It seems like anyone with a racquetball or any kind of paddle-sport background catches on pretty fast,” Darryl Shaw said. According to Pell, the Lone Tree location attracts many ex-tennis players who are looking for another way to stay active within their previously acquired skill sets. The Shaws, Pell and Deutsch are also involved with the well-established “Parker Picklers” of the Parker community, and hope to use the connection in bringing Lone Tree

up to a similar level of play and growth. Outdoor courts with an earlier time slot for playing, as well as upcoming clinics to enhance skills, are some of the features players like Darryl Shaw would prefer. The Lone Tree program is still quite fresh, so adjustments are being considered. According to Deutsch, the possibility of outdoor courts has been discussed, and with that change an earlier time frame could be added to account for the heat. Cost is a factor, however. The smaller area of a pickleball surface opposed to a tennis court is more efficient, but being outdoors still renders the space useless through Colorado’s long and unpredictable winters. Regarding the implementation of clinics and coaching in the area, there is a chance some experienced players from surrounding areas would be available to help. “We’ve got some people who have taught over in Parker and Aurora that may come over and do some clinics. We just need to get a gauge of how many people would be interested to have somebody come and teach some skills,” Pell said.

Fires’ link to beetles not cut-and-dried Conventional wisdom comes under scrutiny

By Kevin Vaughan and Burt Hubbard I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS

Colorado’s 4.3 million acres of beetle-decimated forests represent a catastrophe in the making during another devastating wildfire season. Or do they? That is the conventional wisdom as another summer unfolds with destructive blazes that have left skies along the Front Range choked with smoke, but the reality is not so simple. “The issue is not will beetle-kill forests burn — they certainly will,” said Monica Turner, a University of Wisconsin professor who has done extensive research of wildfires in the West. “The question is, are they burning worse — more severely — than if the forest was green?” And the answer to that question is a matter of ongoing scientific debate, wrapped in factors that include the amount of time that has passed since the beetles did their damage, the number of trees that survived the infestation, other species of plants in the area and weather patterns. “This is a field of study that we just don’t have all the answers for,” said Matt Jolly, a researcher at the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory in Montana whose work has looked extensively at the way plants burn in wildfires.

Millions of acres affected

Anyone who has spent any time in the Colorado high country has seen the damage done by mountain pine beetles — vast swaths of formerly green forested hills painted red, or gray, by dying and dead trees. The most recent count by the Colorado State Forest Service showed 3.35 million acres affected by the mountain pine beetle and 924,000 acres attacked by a different bug, the spruce beetle. An I-News examination of state maps found that hundreds of thousands of those acres are in the socalled “red zones” — the

high-fire danger areas primarily along Colorado’s Front Range and up the Interstate 70 corridor. State officials use a number of factors to determine what constitutes a red zone, including development (primarily homes), the type of vegetation in the area and the slope of the land. So as the West Fork Complex fires continue to burn in the beetle-damaged forests of southwest Colorado, and as the state reels from blazes like the ones that destroyed 511 homes in the Black Forest, it’s tempting to look at all the dying, dead and decaying trees attacked by beetles and conclude that massive wildfires pose a real threat to all affected areas sooner or later. Not so fast, according to some of those who have dedicated years to studying the ways that trees and other vegetation burn in wildfires.

Man has changed forests

Today’s forests are vastly different than those of previous centuries. A century of aggressive firefighting efforts have left many areas overgrown and choked with downed and dead trees. Added to that, development has left many forested areas peppered with homes, and parts of the West are experiencing prolonged, even historic drought. So the propensity for big, destructive fires is a near constant. Those conditions fuel blazes known as “crown fires,” which burn through the tops of the trees as if they were torches, spreading rapidly and generating tremendous heat. Those massive, fastmoving fires — like the Black Forest blaze last month north of Colorado Springs, where some beetle-kill trees were present — make for mesmerizing television and are the subject of extensive research. Turner and researcher Jesse Logan, a former U.S. Forest Service scientist and college professor, are among those who believe that beetle-kill forests go through a predictable cycle — one in which they are at times much less volatile than green forests. It starts with a beetle infestation, and it will take three or four years for the bugs to inflict all the damage they will on a section of forest. The trees in that stage turn red — and

there’s little dispute those needles are highly combustible. But over the next couple years, the needles fall to the ground and begin to decompose. “The overall trend would be that immediately after trees are killed and they still have all those fine fuels, needles in particular, on the tree, then it’s highly flammable, probably more flammable than a green forest,” Logan said. “But after those needles fall and that can be, like in lodgepole, a couple years after the tree is killed, then the standing forest is actually less likely to lead to a crown fire than a green forest.” The reason? Green needles contain oils that are highly flammable. But that strange juxtaposition — that green, seemingly healthy forests might burn with more fury than dead ones — is difficult for many people to comprehend. “I think that one of the reasons that this seems counter-intuitive to people in terms of its affect on fire is that when we burn a fire in our fireplace, we put dead logs in there — we don’t put green branches,” Turner said. “But in a forest fire it’s those green needles that are extremely flammable, and that’s what gives you the amounts of fuel up in the canopy in the forest and its conductivity.” One of the difficulties in getting answers is that it has been difficult to build realistic fire models to examine the effect of beetle-kill trees. At the same time, studies that have looked at actual fires in beetle-kill areas are still in the review process, and the results have not been made public.

Researcher raises questions

Still, Jolly, the Montana researcher, cautioned against assuming that a forest will be less burnable six years after being hit by beetles because the trees no longer have their needles. His research has shown that dead, red needles burn faster and hotter than green ones — but that’s only part of the reason for being circumspect. “It’s just not that simple,” he said. “A standing gray tree, particularly one like a spruce … will have a lot of really, really fine dead branches. It may not have

Firefighters tackle the Black Forest Fire that destroyed nearly 500 homes near Colorado Springs. Questions have been raised about the effect of beetle kill on fire danger. Courtesy photo needles, but it will have those fine branches that will also burn and support a crown fire.” In addition, even areas with heavy beetle-kill have some trees that survive, and many have other kinds of trees mixed in among those that die. And then there’s another huge factor: the combination of weather and climate. Logan pointed to the massive Yellowstone fires of 1988, which took down every kind of forest — beetlekill and green alike. “It all burned, just because conditions were so volatile,” he said. “In any situation, what’s driving it is fuel — you’ve got to have fuel. And the fuel can be green, red, gray, or gray on the ground, and if the weather conditions are right, and you get a lightning strike or some idiot with a match, it’s going to go. And if the weather conditions are like they’ve been in Colorado these past few years, or like they were in ‘88, it’s going to go big, regardless of what anybody

Rothko’s 1940s works on display Denver show sheds light on changing artist By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com His luminous Color Field paintings of the 1950s and 1960s have given Mark Rothko a pre-eminent place among contemporary American painters, but he was active in the 1940s, creating works that ranged from figurative to Jungian myth, surrealism, abstraction … Early images include stories from classical mythology and others inspired by European surrealists and cubists, which led to linear abstract forms, soft colored shapes and finally “Untitled” in 1950, with bands of color — his distinctive style for the remainder of his life. His son, Christopher Rothko, works with his sister Kate Rothko Prizel to advance their father’s legacy. He said: “The 1940s is the decade when everything happens for my father. He enters the decade and he comes out the other end the Rothko we know.” The Denver Art Museum has opened an exhibit called “Figure to Field: Mark Rothko in the 1940s,” running through Sept. 29, which has 28 works, primarily from the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Many have not been displayed in 20 years and illustrate Rothko’s journey as an artist.

if you go “Figure to Field: Mark Rothko in the 1940s” is in the Gallagher Family Gallery on the first floor of the Hamilton Building, Denver Art Museum, 12th Avenue between Broadway and Bannock Streets. It is included in general admission, free for members, and runs through Sept. 29. For hours and information: denverartmuseum.org, 720-913-0130.

Also included are 11 works by his contemporaries, including Robert Motherwell, Clyfford Still, Milton Avery, Adolph Gottleib, Arshile Gorky and Jackson Pollock. These artists exchanged ideas and influenced and supported each other. Paintings are hung chronologically with well-written wall text that discusses Rothko’s early years. Born in Russia, Rothko lived in New York in the 1940s, was acquainted with European artists who had escaped from World War II to America and became active with the group of artists who were known as Abstract Expressionists. A copy of the famous Life magazine photo of that group is included in this show. Representational images no longer worked to represent the war, although he is quoted as saying of the figurative paintings, “I think of my pictures as dramas, the shapes in the pictures are performers ….” “I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstacy, doom

and so on,” he is quoted in a New York Times story. By 1947, he eliminated all surrealistic elements and worked with pure form. The back portion of the Gallagher Gallery is devoted to early Color Field Paintings, with oil washes, egg-based paints, stains, some drips left as they happened. “If I must put my trust somewhere, it would be in the psyche of sensitive observers,” he said. His spiritual qualities are especially expressed in the Rothko Chapel in Houston, but all paintings held symbolic meaning for him. He met Clyfford Still, whose works are housed in the next-door Clyfford Still Museum, and they were close friends for 10 years. He introduced Still to collector/gallery owner Peggy Guggenheim, who gave Still a major show before he withdrew from the New York art world. Readers may have had the opportunity to see the excellent play “Red” at Curious Theatre last year, which conveyed the artist’s intensity as he worked on his famous series of red canvases. It portrayed a conflicted man, uncomfortable in his world. (He committed suicide in 1970.) This exhibit was organized by four museums, which each provided particular expertise and will each exhibit the Rothko works: Arkansas Art Center, Columbia, S.C., Art Museum, Columbus Art Museum and Denver Art Museum—in conjunction with the National Gallery of Art, which holds the world’s largest collection of Rothko’s work.

Chef John Broening, who gained fame for his two revered Denver restaurants, Denver Brasserie Rouge in The Ice House and at Duo in the Highland neighborhood, is returning to kitchen at Le Grand Bistro & Oyster Bar at 1512 Curtis St. See the full story at www.5280.com/blogs/2013/07/08/ breaking-john-broening-heads-le-grandoyster-bar-bistro. “We’re putting the Brasserie Rouge band back together,” restaurant owner Robert Thompson told Westword. Broening will join Le Grand Bistro & Oyster Bar as executive chef and also as culinary director of Seasoned Development, Thompson’s restaurant company. Thompson owns Le Grand, Punch Bowl Social and the Argyll Gastro Pub concept. He co-opened Brasserie Rouge with Leigh Jones in 2003. Broening, now chef and co-owner of Spuntino and formerly the executive chef of Duo and the late Olivéa, headed up the kitchen originally at Brasserie Rouge. Broening’s French cooking skills were not enough to prevent the restaurant closing a year later, though. Expect lighter fare at Le Grand, Broening says. He notes that Le Grand’s offerings will be more seasonal.

Retirement community goes Hollywood

When Elly and Jim Andersen moved to the Wind Crest retirement community five years ago, they didn’t move far from their former house in Cherry Hills, because they didn’t want to move away from family. The couple is proud of their family legacy — all their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren contribute so much to their lives. But one grandchild in particular is making a splash in the celebrity spotlight. And her work in Hollywood is attracting a new generation of fans and the Highlands Ranch community where she often visits. AnnaSophia Robb, the 19-year-old actress who has starred in major motion pictures like” Soul Surfer,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” “Bridge to Terabithia” and “Because of Winn-Dixie” now stars in “The Carrie Diaries.” The weekly television show on The CW is based on the popular HBO series “Sex and the City.” In it, Robb plays teenager Carrie Bradshaw in high school in 1984. The Andersens love seeing Robb work — they’ve been on set with her as far away as London — but they love it the most Parker continues on Page 28

when their granddaughter visits them on the Highlands Ranch campus and spends quality time. As for Robb, well, she’s a huge fan of Wind Crest. Robb grew up in Colorado not far from where her grandparents lived and was in high school when her grandparents moved to Wind Crest. “My grandpa would pick me up from school two times a week, and I’d hang out with them before I went to kickboxing,” she says. She appreciates the pool, the hot tub, going to dinners and brunches on campus, and she wishes they sold the cookies in the marketplace store 24/7. She laughs, “I’d get home from school and miss them,” referring to both the cookies and her grandparents. But the thing Robb says she appreciates most about Wind Crest is how both her grandparents thrive on campus. ”It’s just really convenient. They can go to the gym, join clubs, and my grandpa can work on his trains. They have everything they need and want at their fingertips,” Robb says. The model railroad club is one of the most appealing things about Wind Crest to Jim; his outdoor train set is a memory that warms his granddaughter’s heart, and she’s glad he can continue to do what he is so passionate about. Passionate living runs in the family. While raising her family and helping with her grandchildren, Elly’s lifework has been to give of herself and her time to those she loves. She’s even kept a treasure chest of all the clippings she can find about Robb for the last 10 years, since she began acting in Because of Winn-Dixie. Elly recalls a fond memory from the set. Cicely Tyson had forgotten a line, and Robb whispered to the actress, “It’s OK, my grandma forgets things, too.” Elly laughs at what she calls a “sort of backhanded compliment.” “It’s neat to look back and see how little she was,” Elly says of her granddaughter. The whole family knew she would be an

July 19, 2013 actress when she was just 2 years old. She was, according to the Andersens, born for the spotlight and with “the prettiest little face.” Even though their granddaughter lives in New York while working on the show, the Andersens know it won’t be long before they see her again.

Many of the Blue Bonnet’s staff have logged three decades with the restaurant. “My sister Marci and I visit with the tables each and every lunch and dinner that we are here, seven days a week,” Gary said. “We love the interaction with the customers and (value) their opinions. My mom was known for this and we carry on her tradition as she calls daily to check in.” To celebrate the 45th anniversary, the Mobells are offering customers 45-cent bottomless chips and salsa, two happy hour tacos, two happy hour lettuce wraps or Blue Bonnet signature bottled hot sauce for $4.50 each. Happy hour is from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 9 p.m. to close Monday through Saturday. For more information, visit www.bluebonnetrestaurant. com.

Drivers have bond with track family Bandimeres inspire loyalty among drag-racing crowd By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Ask most drivers competing in the Mopar Mile High Nationals about coming to Bandimere Speedway, and the comments start with changes that have to be made to the cars because of the elevation. However, most of the remarks eventually mention the Bandimere family, which has owned the track for 55 years. “For starters, we just love the Bandimere family,” said Pro Stock driver Jeg Coughlin, who has formed a two-car team with Allen Johnson and Mopar this season. “ First and foremost, the Bandimere family has owned and operated the facility for over 50 years and they have always done a fantastic job, not only for the racers but fans. “The facility is first rate and the only facility on the tour that has a radiant cooling system integrated with the starting line system to keep the temperatures down on the starting line at the surface. That was a big investment the Bandimeres made. When we are here in July and it is 100 degrees and the track gets to 150 degrees, now they are able to moderate that.” Coughlin admits that Bandimere’s beauty offsets the work on changes to the car that have to be made because the track is 5,800 feet above sea level. “We have to make a lot of changes to come to Bandimere,” he said. “I can quickly tell you we don’t change the driver or the paint on the outside of the car. Everything else we manipulate. The mountain here in unbelievable. Just looking around, you do a 360 on your feet. I’d be lying to say we don’t sneak out once every winter to visit Vail. We really enjoy the area.” John Force, a 15-time Funny Car champion, has been a regular at the Mile High Nationals. “First time I came over that mountain it was snowing,” said Force. “I knew without a race I wouldn’t have any money to pay the hotel rooms. Now that’s changed. I remember being there with my dad, he’s passed now, and John Bandimere, he was a kid like me. His and my dad sat on the hill and talk-

There was one year there I ran top speed, I was faster than the dragsters. That doesn’t happen very often. For a few moments we were up there with our big brother. It was a great feeling.

He retired at the conclusion of the 2008 season driving a Mopar Hemi-powered Funny Car. He earned one win at Bandimere in 2006. “I’m humbled and excited to be asked by Mopar to serve as grand marshal and be part of such an amazing event once again,” said Scelzi. “There are only a few NHRA nationals that have prestige and meaning and where winning really means something Bandimere continues on Page 31

racing not schumacher’s only priority Record-setting driver frequently visits troops By Scott Stocker

Special to Colorado Community Media There is little doubt that Tony Schumacher, a Top Fuel dragster driver, knows his way up the drag strip. Yet while drag racing is a passion for the 44-year-old, eight-time National Hot Rod Association champion, so is devotion to his main sponsor, the Army. In a way, one might say that Schumacher spends more time with the visiting troops at the facilities than he does heading up the speedways. After all, he has established several records at the various tracks and currently holds the top E.T. time at 3.736 seconds. A possible eight trips of the track at the various speedways, if he goes all the way to the finals, could be accomplished somewhere in the neighborhood of 32 seconds. OK, Schumacher does spend a lot of time with his crew making sure his dragster is ready for its quick trips. But here is a driver who also has a passion for making sure that the troops he visits, overseas and back home in the U.S., are well taken care of. Schumacher will put his dragster on the starting line in the Mopar Mile High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway this weekend. The event is the first of the National Hot Rod Associations Western Swing, followed

by the Sonoma Nationals in California. July 26-28, and the O’Reilly Auto Parts Nationals in Seattle, August 2-4. “I haven’t been over to Afghanistan or other combat areas nearly enough,” said Schumacher, who has three wins this season. “Mostly now I go to the bases here in the U.S. They are leaving and coming back and I can see more people. When you get off to Afghanistan or Iraq — there are a lot of countries that we’ve got a lot of troops in — you really don’t get to see that many of them.” Schumacher also knows that he, like the troops he visits, could come under fire at any moment in his overseas journeys. Yet, it doesn’t matter which service, or when the men and women in the military served, when his team welcomes them to his site at the tracks or in the field. “It’s nice, they are off doing their jobs, and it’s great when the present soldiers come home,” Schumacher said. “It’s just fantastic. Our soldiers come back as heroes. It’s a big trip, overseas, something you plan for a while. You are stuck in small places. You are in some areas where it’s pretty intense and pretty unique.” In Schumacher’s last race he carried the medals of a Vietnam veteran — his Purple Heart and Silver Star. “I got beat, but at least I got to carry his medals,” Schumacher said. “To be able to carry a medal, something that men have earned under harsh conditions, is a bless-

If there is anyone in the world that deserves to come into our pits, it’s a veteran from any war. They have served our country.” Yet Schumacher also welcomes young people to his tents over the course of the season. On Fridays, they invite kids from the high schools, college and vocational schools to the racetrack, giving them free tickets to get in. “We give them a little speech — I’m not

saying you got to join the Army,” Schumacher said. “I’m a race car driver. I do say, `Be a part of the team.’ Figure out what you want to do, find people that are similar that want to do that job and get yourself around the right group of people. I drive the Army car, but every branch is necessary and incredible.” And, there is little doubt Schumacher Schumacher continues on Page 31

Veteran driver back for Nationals Force is oldest champion in any major racing discipline By Scott Stocker

Special to Colorado Community Media For the first in nine seasons of his professional motorsports racing career in the National Hot Rod Association, John Force did not win a series championship. Ironically, Force felt that he could be a champion playing football. But it wasn’t to be. Those are certainly bygone days for a “Force” on the drag strip since he began his professional career on the racetracks in 1978. Since his inaugural season, which Force began in Australia, he has become the oldest champion in any major racing discipline. Over the course of his career he has won 136 events, the only driver to have exceeded 100 wins in his career as well as winning 15 NHRA Funny Car championships. “I thought I could be a champion playing football,” said Force, who was born in Bell Garden, California, on May 4, 1949. “We lost 27 games, nine a year when I was a quarterback in my high school. I also had polio as a kid and I was hampered a little bit. But I was never going to college to be a great player. But I have always believed in myself. I’ve got a race car to do the running for me.” Force, along with three members of his family — daughters Courtney, Brittany and son-in-law Robert Hight, will be on drag strip at Bandimere Speedway for the Mopar

Mile High Nationals from July 19-21. Force, who had his last Bandimere victory on the side of the mountain in 2011, has always had a warm feeling in his heart for the Bandimere family. “The first time I came over the mountain it was snowing,” said Force, who finished 23rd in points in his inaugural season. “I knew without a race I wouldn’t have any money to pay the hotel rooms. Now, that has changed, as I have my major sponsors like Auto Club, Castrol, Ford, Brand Source and Freightliner. I’m really a fortunate guy.” Force, who reached his first final racing round in 1979, was the first drag racer to be named the Driver of the Year among all racing classifications in 1996. He was also inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame last year, and now reins as the oldest champion in any of the major racing disciplines. Force, who won his first career victory at Montreal in 1987, has three finals under his belt this season, including a win at Bristol. He currently stands fifth in points in the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series. And he certainly has some historical memories. One, of course, would be his first victory in the U.S., when he won at Columbus in 1988. Now it’s on to the Western Swing, definitely a challenge for all drivers and their teams. The first stop is the Mile Highs at Bandimere, followed by the Sonoma Nationals in California, July 26-28, and the O’Reilly Auto Parts Nationals in Seattle, Aug. 2-4. There is little doubt that Force wouldn’t mind finding a way to come through with

another sweep on the Swing, which he accomplished in 1994. Yet, if he doesn’t, he wouldn’t mind if any of the family members come through for victories. “It’s really a tough deal on the mountain,” Force said. “There was one year, 1998, that I was faster than the Top Fuel dragsters at Bandimere, and that doesn’t happen very often. I was the first to drive over 300 miles per hour on the track hitting 301.7. It was great being up with our big brothers. A lot of the dragster guys were telling me that was pretty cool. Never done it since, but we keep trying. “Denver is the high altitude and hard to make cars run up there,” Force said. “That’s why the crew chief makes the most money, more than the drivers. The crew chief has to figure out a way to make up for the altitude. That’s a tough one because you have to change a lot of parts, compression, and a lot of things to make it happen.” But the main thing to happen as the Force family opens the Western Swing, would be a win at Bandimere. “I’ve been on the road for six, seven weeks,” Force said. “I’m back in Indianapolis and I can’t get home. It was my daughter Brittany’s birthday and my wife (Laurel’s) birthday. They celebrated yesterday (July 9). I sent flowers, but I have to stay and get the racing work done. “I like the races (the Western Swing) three in a row because you get in a groove mentally,” Force said. “We’re a team, a family, like all the others in the NHRA, and we do what we have to do.”

extra special. I’d put the Mopar Mile High Nationals amongst the Gatornationals and Englishtown. It’s special not just because it has been around forever and is extremely difficult and challenging, but also because of the Bandimere family. “They go out of their way to make everyone, from the fans to the competitors, feel at home. They think of everything and make you really feel like you are part their family and their home. My history at Bandimere was actually quite horrible. I don’t think I made it out of the first round much, but I just loved coming here regardless. It was a huge challenge on track but it was always about family and fun and was always an event, a party everyone looked forward to. When I did finally win with Mopar in 2006, it just had so much meaning, and to be invited back to celebrate their 25 years with the Bandimere family is really exciting.”

has not only served the racing community well, but his racing team. He set his first world record at Brainerd, Minn., in 2005 at 337.58 mph, and over the course of his career, he has 72 wins. He won 15 events in 2008, including seven in a row out of his 18 final rounds. Schumacher won his first title in 1999 and has won eight overall. This includes seven in a row from 2004-2009. He also was the first driver to go the quarter mile over 330 mph. While Schumacher is quick up the track, it’s nice to know he will always take time to talk with soldiers and his fans.
