Suiting up for the biohazard battle Medical students in Parker prep for the worst By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Rocky Vista University students got a feel for what it’s like to be in a biohazard suit during a training session July 18 taught by instructors from the Center for Domestic Preparedness, a division of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. When a Dallas-area nurse became infected with Ebola last year after treating a patient, it brought attention to the lack of preparedness in emergency rooms, said Sharon Atencio, a third-year Rocky Vista student who coordinated the training. FEMA and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security are now working even closer with medical professionals — known in biohazard incidents as the “first receiv-

ers,” a take on the “first responder” moniker given to police, medics and firefighters — to expose gaps and get them ready for the worst, she said. An epidemiologist talked about SARS, MERS and other biological threats while the students put on each piece of equipment in a specific order. Becoming familiar with the suits is important, and the instructors travel around the country for what are known as “donning days” as part of the preparedness training. “In suits for a radiological event, your peripheral vision is impaired, you can’t hear over the respirator, and it’s kind of the same in biohazard suits,” Atencio said. “You’re wearing goggles and a face shield, it’s hot right away, there are lots of gloves, so you lose that dexterity to place an IV.” Four instructors flew out from the Center for Domestic Preparedness in Anniston, Alabama, with 600 pounds of biohazard gear and how-to manuals.

Proposed changes to make way for new housing developments south of Parker are causing concern among residents. Homeowners in the Pradera and Vistancia neighborhoods, south of the Parker’s boundary, have raised opposition to a request from residential developers to amend an intergovernmental agreement between Douglas County and Parker. The IGA is required before the property can be rezoned from agriculture use to “Estate Residential” use, said Curt Weitkunat, planning supervisor for the county. If approved by Douglas County’s commissioners, a subsequent application for the Sagewood Estates development could bring lot sizes from 35 acres to as low as 2.5 acres. The county planning commission will decide Aug. 3 whether to recommend the IGA amendment to the commissioners. The commissioners are scheduled to consider final approval at 2:30 p.m. Aug. 11 at the Philip S. Miller Building in Castle Rock. Approximately 10 residents from Pradera and Vistancia attended a meeting July 23 at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center to learn more about the development process as it relates to adjacent properties. John Albright, a resident of Pradera, called the plans “outrageous” and said the addition of homes from three proposed developments would cause major traffic issues. He is upset because he said the county seems more willing to accommodate developers than to protect existing homeowners. “It seems like the county makes whatever change to (the comprehensive master Pradera continues on Page 9

Doctor pioneers weight-loss procedure Surgery available even if only 30 pounds overweight By Chris Michlewicz

Amy Smith can attest to the bruising experience of yo-yo dieting. For years, the Aurora resident tried the most popular weight-loss programs and had considerable success. That is, until she stopped doing them. Smith eventually would slide back into old habits when she left behind the foods and supplements provided by the programs. She reached a breaking point last July. “Each year, my health was getting worse,” she said. “My cholesterol was not doing good, I was four points away from having sleep apnea and one point away from being pre-diabetic, and I just decided it was time to do something about it.” She signed up to have gastric bypass surgery, but days before the procedure, the hospital put a stop to it. At 177 pounds, her medical provider said she didn’t meet the

criteria because she hadn’t yet reached the diagnosis threshold. That’s where Dr. Matthew Metz stepped in. The former medical director of Parker Adventist Hospital’s bariatric program struck out on his own in 2012, creating a practice on the second floor of a building southwest of South Parker Road and Parkglenn Way. He has since pioneered what he calls the Resolute procedure, a take on traditional bariatric surgeries. However, candidates can be as little as 30 pounds overweight. Metz told Smith about Resolute, which involves the laparoscopic removal of twothirds of the stomach via five small incisions. He takes out the stomach area that stretches, along with specialized cells that line the stomach and produce the appetite hormone ghrelin, which sends hunger signals to the brain. “It’s an established procedure that’s been done for bariatric patients for many years,” Metz said. “What we’ve done is just altered it slightly to make it safe and effective for people with lower body-mass index.” Bariatric continues on Page 9

HELLO

Mainstreet master plan draft available

... My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

KASEY JOHN Music teacher, mother of four About me I met my husband in northern Nigeria 10 years ago while I was on a mission trip. I married him there and lived with him until he immigrated to the U.S. in 2007. We settled in Parker in 2009. We came to Parker to raise our family, and because we had some friends here. At the time we had one son… we now have four kids — three boys and a girl. I am a licensed music teacher, and after spending several years teaching in Aurora Public Schools, I stopped to raise our kids and be a stay-at-home mom. I currently homeschool our kids, and I teach at the Children’s Music Academy in Parker.

A typical day We are a homeschooling family, so our typical day involves daily chores around the house and schoolwork. Our boys also play football for the Parker Hawks, and typically have several practices a week. We are involved in our church, and the kids also attend AWANA. I teach in the evenings at the Music Academy.

Passion with purpose My favorite things to do include photography, teaching music, watching my kids play sports, traveling, and connecting with people. My passions include mission work, specifically for the church. I am also very passionate about family life. My boys attended four football camps this summer, and we had a family reunion over the Fourth of July. We are also heading to Nebraska this weekend to visit some friends who are moving permanently to Indonesia.

My, how fast they grow! My husband and I have made a lot of sacrifices to homeschool our children with the intention of developing their character and values as our primary focus. As they get older, and we begin to see them become honest, kind, giving young men, it makes that sacrifice worth it. And my most happy place on earth is sitting on the sidelines of a field watching them play sports. It gives me joy to watch them. By Chris Michlewicz.

The town of Parker is inviting the public to view the Mainstreet Master Plan online at www.ParkerOnline.org/MainstreetPlan. The Mainstreet Master Plan area spans the Mainstreet corridor from Twenty Mile Road on the west to Pine Drive (Mainstreet) on the east. The new plan will form the vision for the future of downtown Parker as a vibrant, active and economically sustainable place for residents to “work, live, shop and play,” the town said in a press release. During the summer and fall of 2014, the town sought community input to guide the planning for the future of the Mainstreet corridor to inform the planning project. In the spring of 2015, an open house and meetings with property owners and businesses were conducted to share the big ideas that evolved through the input and the planning. The input provided to date has helped to guide the planning process and outcomes. All comments should be provided to associate planner Mary Munekata at mmunekata@parkeronline.org by Aug. 13.

Program teaches kids about 911

The Parker and Lone Tree police departments are offering free 911 public education presentations designed for pre-kindergarten to second grade kids at the Parker Police Department on Aug. 20. In 2014, the Parker

and Lone Tree Communications Center received 14,910 calls on its combined 911 system, while across the country more 240 million calls are received at 911 centers annually. Many of these callers are young children who may be frightened and alone. With the growing need to educate children about the use of 911, the Parker and Lone Tree Communications Center adopted a program called 911 for Kids Inc. that was created to make things simpler. The goal of the program is to teach young children in the Parker and Lone Tree areas about the importance of 911 and how to use it if they have an emergency. Kids will participate in a group discussion titled “Is This an Emergency?” Each child is given the opportunity to practice calling 911 with a simulator. This allows the child to practice pressing 911 to complete a call, answer questions that would be asked when calling 911 and remaining on the line until told to hang up. Those interested in attending the program with children should go to www.ParkerPolice. org/911ForKids to register. The classes are being offered at 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m. Aug. 20. Each class is limited to 25 children and will run approximately two hours. Contact 911 Public Education Liaison Danielle Huskey at 303-805-6611 or dhuskey@parkeronline.org for more information.

Parker gets emergency coordinator New staffer will also serve in position for Lone Tree By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lone Tree has invested in a new employee who will work to coordinate and prepare the city in the case of an emergency. Rose Lynch has been hired as the city’s new emergency preparedness coordinator. The position will be shared with the town of Parker. The new joint emergency preparedness coordinator will be responsible for day-to-day coordination of emergency management programs between the city of Lone Tree and the town of Parker. These responsibilities include developing, coordinating, and implementing emergency operation

plans and operating procedures, and developing educational and community outreach strategies. “It’s a missing piece currently in our city,” Mayor Jim Gunning said. The addition of this position will ensure Lone Tree and Parker are better prepared to meet the needs of the community should a natural or man-made disaster occur. “You don’t want to be flipping through the yellow pages during a flood event looking for sandbags. You want to know you can call the Red Cross,” Lynch said. “If you already have those relationships established, and everything is signed off on those agreements, it will be a lot easier.” This shared staff position is also intended to save both municipalities and taxpayers money. The posted salary for the position was $53,100 to $65,000. Lynch will also work with Douglas County to align the two towns’ emergency strategy with the surrounding communities.

“Rose has already been to an emergency management meeting down at the county so she’s networking already,” Lone Tree council member Susan Squyer said. Lone Tree and Parker have a successful history when it comes to saving money and resources through these types of agreements. Some examples of currently successful shared partnerships between Parker and Lone Tree include emergency dispatch, evidence management, crime analysis, victim services and crime scene processing. “For the first several months, I will be exclusively with Lone Tree,” Lynch said. “I don’t know what that will look like yet or for how long, but eventually it will be a 50/50 split.”

MOM E N T S I N T I M E F ROM YOU R C OM M U N I T Y

Technologically speaking By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Excited chatter fueled by stimulated young minds reverberates in a garage-like room. Natural light floods in from the east, but everything is already well-illuminated by the glow of computer screens. Fingers type away and bright eyes dart to and fro, registering bits of information that are then sent to their own hard drives. Synapses fire from the intense focus. Overhead, a multi-prop copter buzzes around. On the floor, two spheres amble about and seem to have minds of their own. The robotic spheres are, however, under the full control of 11-year-olds Christian Malsch and Gavin Boland. Such is life at science camp at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center. It’s a childhood completely different from the one their parents knew, and the kids are undergoing training that will propel them into later stages of life that will presumably be similarly divergent. They’re the children of the 21st century, the progeny of the marriage between science and technology, a pairing that continues to change the world at a startling pace. Could one of these kids use his or her computer knowledge to eventually cure a disease? It’s possible. It’s more likely, however, that they will become cogs in a larger mechanism, an interconnected global machine that leads commerce, improves the construction and stability of buildings, and makes medicine more accessible. For now, the kids are using a three-dimensional printer that spins thoughts (put in the form of specific, digitally guided parameters) into solid objects. Instructor Brian Dickman shows off a hollow globe that he designed. You can put an LED flashlight inside and make a table lamp, he explains, before showing how the 3D printer melts spools of plastic to build new objects one thin layer at a time. “We try to find ways to interweave the fun stuff,” he says. At some point, every child ponders what the future will look like. Will there be flying cars? Telepathy instead of text messages? Synthetic food? The ability to upload cancer-fighting agents to the human body? It’s fun to think about, and here are these changing brains, reservoirs filling with knowledge, that might make it happen. But for now, things are simple, although more complex than what prior generations are accustomed to. Where will it all lead?

Change in culture leads to savings for school district System focuses on empowering front-line employees to make practical changes, reduce waste By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com

A new way of thinking has saved the Douglas County School District about $2.3 million in the last calendar year. Thomas Tsai, school district chief operating officer, and his team presented the -Toyota Production System, also known commonly as LEAN manufacturing, to the school board July 21. TPS is a comprehensive leadership system utilized by leading innovative companies across the world to enhance employee engagement/empowerment, operational excellence, client focus and innovation. Tsai said Douglas County is one of the first school districts in the nation to implement the Japanese strategy that focuses on empowering front-line employees to take action. Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said the program will “make highly efficient use of

every single dollar that we have available in the district, so that we can deploy the maximum dollars directly into the classroom.” The Toyota Production system was created by Taiichi Ohno in order to compete with the American juggernaut Ford Motor Co. “At Toyota we began to think about how to install an automatic nervous system into our business organization,” said Taiichi Ohno of his system. Ohno’s “Seven Wastes” model was aimed at increasing productivity and production. These wastes are: delay, waiting or time spent in a queue with no value being added; producing more than you need; overprocessing or undertaking non-value added activity; transportation; unnecessary movement or motion; inventory; and production of defects. One of the things the school district’s operations team tries to prevent themselves from doing is giving orders. “We try very hard to not put people in a position where they have to ask for permission. Instead, we replace it with intent,” Tsai said. “Intent goes both ways. I give my intent to my team by saying this is the horizon, here are our mission and organizational goals, then they give the intent of

New public works building opens

Staff report

Douglas County and Parker officials marked the opening of the town’s new $15.6 million public works building that will house the streets, traffic and stormwater departments. The building, at Hess Road and Tammy Lane, will enable public works to operate for at least the next 20 years. The existing public works building, adjacent to Salisbury Park on Motsenbocker Road,

will remain open. Roughly $13.5 million of the cost to build the public works facility came from a $21 million bond issue that included money for the renovation and expansion of the Parker Recreation Center. The bond issue was approved in 2014. The new building will store street sweepers, crack seal machines, specialized turf equipment and the town’s first welding and fabrication shop.

how they intend to accomplish it.” This way, district employees have the choice and decision making on how they accomplish their goals. The district’s operations team consists of safety and security, operations and maintenance, transportation, planning construction, outdoor education and sustainability and energy. Some time- and waste-savings projects the district has implemented include relabeling of all maintenance equipment to create uniformity and consistency for the operations team; and changes in transportation that allow drivers to pick up their own route books and keys instead of waiting in long lines — the change has freed up dispatchers to address other urgent needs during busy times. Donna Grattino, director of transportation for the school district, said her scheduling team is working on a project that could free up buses and drivers to provide more rides for more students in places in need of more buses like Larkspur Elementary School. “This is extremely important to the transportation department because we want to be able to support district incentives around choice and enhanced enroll-

ment,” Grattino said. In the past the district would have had to add multiple routes, probably higher additional drivers and maybe even purchase buses to meet these needs. “With the LEAN process improvement our scheduling team has done, we were able to free up an asset that we can redeploy to Larkspur Elementary School,” Grattino said. “They even went as far as to reduce the number of routes. So now, we have one route that we can run in and around Castle Rock.” The district will begin implementing the new routes this school year. Rather than starting with a dollar amount they hopped to be able to save the district, the LEAN team focuses on completing small projects across the board that would lead to a large savings. “It’s mission improbable that I’ll get you this number again next year…,” said Tsai. “If you’re a marathon runner and you shave an hour off best time, you can’t expect to repeat that next year. But my commitment is that we will try and get as close to that number as possible.”

National Night Out

A program of the National Association of Town Watch, more than 37.8 million neighbors across 16,124 communities will celebrate National Night Out, America’s Night Out Against Crime on Aug. 4. In Parker, however, the event will be held from 2 to 8 p.m. Aug. 8 at O’Brien Park.

National Night Out is an effort to promote involvement in crime-prevention activities, police/community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie, designed to send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

Local municipalities provide police officers, K9 units, SWAT, McGruff the Crime Dog, firefighters and equipment to liven up individual parties, along with balloons, T-shirts and other NNO regalia. They can provide barriers to block off streets, and may have small grants available to help neighborhoods fund the parties.

NNO was created in 1984 and is celebrated across the United States and Canada.

Search-rescue volunteers needed Group members must be ready for fast response By Taryn Walker

twalker@colorado communitymedia.com Douglas County Search and Rescue saw a turnout of 42 people at its recruitment meeting on July 21, but the agency expects to receive only half of that in volunteers, according to Bruce Fosdick, president and mission coordinator. Every year around this time, the nonprofit with about 60 active members looks for new volunteers. The group was formed in 1998 and encompasses the county, but the team also provides help to neighboring counties. Most distress calls within Douglas County are made in the Rampart Range, Sedalia and Parker areas, according to the group’s July 21 presentation. “We’ve received only two hard copies of applications since the meeting, but I know a lot of people wait until right before the deadline,” Fosdick said. “We’ve sent out about eight applications to those who weren’t at the meeting. We will probably get about 15 or so total.” Requirements to join include a $150 fee toward an application, which is due by 5 p.m. July 31. The fee, in part, covers a criminal background check, which must be passed. Also required is established residency within 30 minutes of Douglas County, as many incidents demand fast response. The organization does not require annual dues. The application fee doesn’t include any gear volunteers need, although a number of resources are provided, including access to trucks, ATVs and a snowmobile. The important part to remember about joining is that it is 100 percent volunteer, Fosdick said. Volunteers train

20 hours a month and get 140-plus calls a year that require up to 16,736 hours of volunteer time combined — that includes holidays, weekends, birthdays and anniversaries. Calls for Douglas County Search and Rescue are routed through the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office dispatch, and they can come at any time. One current DCSAR member spoke out to the crowd. “If it’s a sunny day and you’re not doing anything, you think you’re going to get a page or a call — you won’t. If it’s your anniversary or you’re celebrating something — you will. It’s fair game,” he said. DCSAR is one of 12 fully accredited search and rescue organizations in the state. The accreditation was given in 2005 by the Mountain Rescue Association in Colorado, which evaluates members every five years based on their capabilities of search, high-angle technical rescue, screefield evacuation, winter rescue and avalanche operations. Fosdick said teams in the Rocky Mountain Region are among the most skilled search and rescue teams in the nation, with help from this accreditation. “About 75 percent of our calls are missing people, and I’m proud to say we’ve found every one of our subjects we’ve been looking for,” Fosdick said. In 1999, members went through an intensive training in the fall and were considered operational in December. On the first mission, the team was successful in finding two missing dirt-bike riders on Rampart Range. The two were cold, but alive, and in near-blizzard conditions, according to the DCSAR website. Since then, the group has really broken into the system, Fosdick said. Recently, the sheriff’s office put out an alert about a missing man with dementia in Highlands Ranch. Thanks to the efforts of DCSAR volunteers and strong word-of-mouth, the missing man was found hours later wandering near Interstate 25. The group needs volunteers, as senior walk-aways have become more frequent in the county, Fosdick said. Everyone who is interested needs to consider the basic skill level training, he said. As far as training, it’s about 32 percent classroom and 68 percent field. “This is all on our own expense, but we want everyone to perform at a top level. My suggestion is to ask yourself to re-evaluate how much time you’re willing to give. We’re not going to teach you how to camp and hike in the mountains. It could cost you up to $3,000 off the street just to get that kind of equipment,” Fosdick said. New members are encouraged to have common outdoor equipment such as boots, climbing harnesses, winter gear and a helmet. Carrie Klem of Castle Rock knew within minutes after arriving at the recruitment meeting that she was going to apply to be a search and rescue volunteer. The now-retired Aurora schoolteacher is 38 and feeling optimistic about her new life. She said she hopes she gets accepted. “I’m so fortunate to pseudo-retire and look into this. My goal is to eventually get into search and rescue canine training with my yellow Lab,” Klem said. If accepted, she’ll start a nine-month training period beginning after Labor Day. The training involves a selfpaced system with six pages worth of skills to be signed off on, including learning how to tie eight different knots, how to handle litter evacuations and victim packaging, as well as rigging systems and winter mountaineering. Members meet twice a month and are encouraged to attend at least 50 percent of trainings, even after finishing their personal training. If interested in applying, contact Fosdick at info@dcsarco.org or b_fos@msn.com.

Courage Classic ride brings hospital supporters together By Taryn Walker

twalker@colorado communitymedia.com More than 200 south metro area residents were among the thousands of cyclists who rode 150 miles-plus over three days to raise money for patients of Children’s Hospital Colorado. Nearly 2,000 riders pedaled the Courage Classic bike tour along Copper Mountain Resort Route, July 18-20, according to Monique McCoy, spokeswoman for Children’s. The 26th annual ride raised more than $2.9 million for patients and families, as well as helped meet the $35 million mark for the event since the hospital first began. More than 400 volunteers and numerous sponsors stepped up to the plate to make the 2015 ride happen to also encourage awareness. Centennial mother Denise Erwin rode in her 12th consecutive Courage Classic that weekend for her son, Alex, who was diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma in 2012. “Nobody wishes this would happen,” Erwin said. “As a parent, it is terrible to walk your child through a journey like that. Everyone always assumes that cancer only happens to everyone else. People like me don’t want to feel silly running to the doctor for just anything, but in this case — it was life-saving.” Her now 14-year-old son went through chemotherapy with Children’s for a year after a lump was detected under his arm. He is now in remission and will be starting high school this year, cancer-free, Erwin said. She feels Children’s Colorado is an important place in the community and riding in the Courage Classic is her means to help out, she said. “They (the hospital) have expertise that applies to children and their families, both in terms of dealing with children medically, but also helping children through the process,” she said. “Children feel cared for and special when they are there.” As for the tour, it went well. “It’s really a great ride. The mountains are so beautiful — it’s a ride that people do because they have somebody they care about or they just care about children in general. Everyone is propelled by the mountains. I still feel so good about it. It might have been easier, if I trained a little more,” Erwin said. The Ponzio Pedalers, a cycling team made up of people from all around Colorado, racked up thousands of miles before the Classic. Team member Andy Tuthill was enthusiastic about the event. “This is a tour, not a race,” he said. “I do a lot of events and I wouldn’t miss this one for anything. It’s just great to set competition aside and connect with a cycling community for a good cause.” Funds raised through Courage Classic help Children’s Hospital Colorado achieve its mission to improve the health of children through high-quality, coordinated programs of patient care, education, research and advocacy, according to a press release. Fundraising for this year’s event will continue online through Aug. 31 at www. couragetours.com.

VOICES

LOCAL

Mock, mock — who’s there? Not Elvis No more. No more Elvis impersonators. “Cheesie.” Tiresome. Tedious. But they happen all the time, and none of them is Early Elvis, when he was great. It’s the Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich Elvis, when he was an unfortunate caricature. As you might imagine, there are Elvis impersonator contests and festivals, and you can go online and hire one, or a dozen, for your next event. Elvis impersonators have been around as long as Elvis has been around. The first one, Carl “Cheesie” Nelson was doing voice impersonations in 1954. I think his name says it all. I wish he had been the first and last. Nelson was from Arkansas, which is also very telling. Some impersonators impersonate Elvis’ voice, and others impersonate his appearance. There was a very good voice impersonator named Ral Donner. His one hit was “You Don’t Know What You’ve Got,” and if you didn’t know better, it was Elvis. Likewise Terry Stafford and “Suspicion.” Elvis recorded “Suspicion” in 1962, but it wasn’t a hit. Stafford came along in 1964 and covered it. It was so good (Top 10) that Presley’s version was re-released (reached #34). I don’t understand how anyone could be entertained by an Elvis impersonator. But some people are amused by Drew Carey. Shop at Pottery Barn. Why? When Elvis was relevant, he was very relevant.

QUIET DESPERATION

Later he started to make dreadful movies. Later he shoe-polished his hair and wore capes. (So did Dracula.) That’s when the impersonators started to come out of the woodwork. It’s an industry. There have been movies. None of them is any good. Want to torture me? Strap me down and make me watch “Honeymoon in

Vegas.” I refuse to watch State Farm’s new commercial. Elvis impersonators. Las Vegas. Pink Cadillac. Stale. Banal. Humorless. Overworked. Trite. Thesaurus. Elvis is too easy. Why not Burl Ives? There is something called diminishing returns. Why would State Farm go to the well again? Elvis was born in 1935. It’s 2015. Maybe that had something to do with it. His 80th birthday. Woody Allen and Julie Andrews were born in 1935. I don’t see anyone impersonating them. Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker was born in 1935. What’s wrong with impersonating him? Uecker was hit in the head with a ball during the Brewers’ pre-game batting practice in

June. Nevertheless, he insisted upon calling the game, but referred to outfielder Ryan Braun as a “hunk of burning love” and pitcher Will Smith as a “hound dog.” I don’t know. I am often mystified by some of the choices we make. Even some of my own. Once or twice a week, I will get on YouTube, and one thing will lead to another and to another. That’s how I rediscovered Ral Donner for this column. Donner was only 41 when he died. Lung cancer. Terry Stafford was only 54 when he died. Liver failure. Elvis was only 42 when he died. “Drug use was heavily indicated.” Elvis died about a week before I moved to Colorado in 1977. My move went unreported. Barely noticed. Elvis’s death was widely reported, and he was “seen” for years. And we still see him, in unfavorable reminders. I will make one exception in these complaints. Performance artist Andy Kaufman. His Elvis impersonation was exceptional and almost better than the real thing. Kaufman was only 35 when he died. Kidney failure. True to his performances, many people thought that Kaufman faked his own death. No more Elvis counterfeits, please. Don’t be cruel.

It’s far better to sizzle than fizzle at finish line Have you ever been on a long hike or maybe a good run or walk where you know you are getting close to the finish and you either slow down to ease through the end, or you become even more energized and power through the finish line? Maybe you have experienced this same feeling at work or in other situations and projects. You know that feeling, right? That feeling when we have been working hard at something or for someone and we are nearing the point of frustration and perhaps even exhaustion. The feeling of quitting or giving up is palpable and could temporarily make things so much easier on us if we could just stop right where we are. Then that other feeling kicks in, that feeling of pride and resilience. This is when the expectation of winning intensifies and takes over as we know that if we can just push past the finish line we will feel a greater sense of accomplishment. So we dig in deeper to find the energy and strength to complete our workout, our project, and we end the race the way we know we want to finish. Now we may be tired, spent, and completely drained but the gratification that comes with pushing through and pushing past the obstacles and hurdles that were in front of us only makes the victory that much sweeter.

Recently many of you have reached out and shared your life stories with me, and I greatly appreciate those conversations and email exchanges. Some of you are feeling pushed and pulled in multiple directions, and for others things seem to be slipping Michael Norton through the cracks, causing heartache and WINNING frustration. And as I WORDS have shared with those of you who have written to me, we all face challenges, and it’s not a matter of “if” we ever face them, it’s “when” we will face them. And just like a long hike, power walk, run or grueling workout, when we face those challenges we have to push past the finish line running just as hard if not harder as when we first started. We need to replace the feelings of quitting or giving up with intensity and empowerment that lets us power through and complete what it is that we need to complete. Being pushed and pulled in multiple directions or being spread so thin where things

slip through the cracks happens when we are not completely focused and committed to our goal and where we are going and what we need to accomplish. There is only one person in the world who can ever stop us or dilute us to the point of inefficiency and that is ourselves. So as we learn to avoid those traps of being pushed and pulled, as we keep our focus on the completion of our tasks, projects, and goals, we will no doubt develop the attitude of not just easing into the end of our journey but rather powering and pushing past the finish line in all areas of our personal and professional lives. You have it in you, you are so close, don’t stop, don’t quit, push yourself past the finish line. How about you? Do you run harder as you know you are nearing the finish line or do you kind of ease on through? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we power and push through the finish line, it really will be a better than good week.

Heat poses avoidable risks to health The peak of summer is here. The hottest summer temperatures for the Denver and northeast Colorado area tend to occur in the second half of July, according to 30-year averages calculated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In my 25 years as an emergency medicine physician, I’ve seen the catastrophic effect heat can have on health, and many of the people we see while providing event support in the National Disaster Medical System need treatment for heat-related illnesses. On average, heat-related illnesses cause more than 600 deaths every year, and from 2001 to 2010 more than 28,000 people were hospitalized for heat-related illnesses. You can help keep yourself, your family and others around you out of the emergency department by watching for signs of heat stress. People suffering from heat-related illnesses may experience heavy sweating; weakness; cold, pale, and clammy skin; fast, weak pulse; and nausea or vomiting. Early

signs include muscle cramps, heat rash and GUEST fainting or near-fainting spells. If you believe COLUMN someone is suffering from a heat-related illness, they need to move to a cooler location and lie down; apply cool, wet cloths to the body; and sip non-alcoholic fluids. They should remain in the cool location until recovered. Signs that someone might be suffering from the most severe heat-related illness, heatstroke, include a body temperature above 103 degrees Fahrenheit; hot, red, dry or moist skin; rapid and strong pulse; and “altered mental status” that can range from confusion and agitation to possible unconsciousness. If you see someone exhibiting these signs, call 911 immediately; help the person move to a cooler environment; reduce the person’s body temperature with cool cloths soaked in ice water especially to head, neck, armpits and upper legs near the groin area

where combined 70 percent of body heat can be lost, or even a cool bath if you can stay with them to ensure they do not drown; and do not give them fluids. Children are especially vulnerable to heat illnesses, and can’t always tell us what is wrong. When it’s hot outside, consider any change in a child’s behavior as heat stress. Additionally, infants and children should never be left in a parked car, even if the windows are down. To help prevent heat-related illness: • Spend time in locations with air-conditioning. • Drink plenty of non-alcoholic ﬂuids. Good choices are water and diluted sport drinks, unless told otherwise by your doctor. • Choose lightweight, light-colored, loosefitting clothing • Limit outdoor activity to morning and evening hours • Protect yourself from the sun by wearing Heat continues on Page 9

Alopecia from a mother’s perspective Girl donates locks in honor of brother, 5 By Nicole Reyhle

Special to Colorado Community Media My son, Jackson, lost his first spot of hair at 3, had about 50 percent hair loss by age 4 and was totally bald from alopecia universalis by 5. Naturally, this was hard to experience. But our family has accepted this and, believe it or not, feel fortunate it is, in fact, just hair and nothing more. That said, we are very aware that being bald at 5

has its side effects, both physically and emotionally. For example, most people have eyelashes, nose hairs and hair in general for a reason — they are not just cosmetic. My son gets dust, dog hair and more in his eyes all the time, even bringing us to the hospital with a scratch on his retina once. Socially, people often think he has cancer and while we know their heart is in a good place to care, we also want to help bring attention to this disease and let people know it’s not cancer, but instead alopecia, a disease you can life a full, fulfilling life with. My 6-year-old daughter, Claire, who is going into first grade, wanted to donate because

plan) that developers want, so what’s the purpose of having a master plan and changing it?” Albright said. There are plans in various stages of review for three separate neighborhoods, all north of Pradera and Vistancia. Cielo, also known as Arlington Ranch, is a 151-acre development proposed for the northeast corner Scott Road and Bayou Gulch Road. It could include 343 detached single-family lots and a K-8 school. Stone Creek, for which zoning has already been approved, is in the subdivision phase and could begin construction on the first of its roughly 329 homes later this year. The 250-acre site is located north of the Pinery Glen development, south of Scott Avenue, west of South Parker Road, and east of Vistancia. Preliminary planning documents show around 50 homes for Sagewood Estates, but that is likely to change before official applications are submitted, Weitkunat said. Pradera resident Jim Weber said the new homes will generate more traffic on Bayou Gulch Road, one of the few avenues to get in and out of the neighborhood. He says the rush to approve new housing results in certain negative impacts being ignored. “We are not opposed to the county growing,” Weber said. “We are opposed to rapid growth where density, traffic and schools are afterthoughts.” Every developer is required to hire a firm to conduct a traffic-impact analysis that is then reviewed by Douglas County’s public works and engineering divisions. The analysis, submitted as part of a landuse application, includes things like existing vehicle trips per day and projected conditions based on the number of homes.

hats with brims and sunscreen As people crank up air conditioning in the peak time of summer, electrical grids can become overwhelmed, causing power outages. In power outages, people who rely on electricity-dependent medical devices, like oxygen concentrators and electric wheelchairs, may need assistance, so check on your neighbors as the temperatures soar. Community organizations and businesses can help local emergency managers and health departments plan for the community’s health needs amid the summer heat — and other emergency situations that can cause power outages — using the new HHS emPOWER Map, located at phe.gov/empowermap. Heat-related illnesses are dangerous,

through this experience we have met many children with alopecia, including little girls. While many are confident and content rocking their bald heads, some prefer to wear wigs. We were told it takes about nine human hair donations to make one wig for a child, so Claire’s donation at the Lifetime Fitness Salon in Parker earlier this month can help make a little girl one day very happy. As Claire said, and I quote: “Everyone’s beautiful in their own way, but sometimes it’s fun to do your hair and little girls with alopecia universalis can’t do that. I hope my hair can help them do this if they want to.” Spoken like a true 6-year-old.

has no regrets. Smith regained her energy and is “comfortable in my skin,” she said. Two weeks out from her one-year evaluation, she stands at a trim 117 pounds. Smith has also seen reductions in her risk factors for high blood pressure and other conditions associated with extra weight. Metz said it’s possible for patients to eat so much that it expands the stomach, but his Resolute success rate is more than 80 percent, compared to diet and exercise, which provides only a 5 percent chance of long-term success, he said. “Being on a diet by itself is a predictor of weight-loss failure,” Metz said. While learning laparoscopy at the CleveDevelopers are required to pay for road improvements to help with resulting traffic impacts on surrounding roads. The yet-to-be-built southern portion of Chambers Road, which will lead north and south but eventually curve and connect with Crowfoot Valley Road at Bayou Gulch Road, won’t be built until the development of Hess Ranch, a subdivision planned south of Stroh Ranch. That project is within the town of Parker, and the timing of its construction will be determined by the developer. Until then, Pradera and Vistancia residents say, traffic will become an issue on Bayou Gulch Road, Pradera Parkway and Crowfoot Valley/Motsenbocker Road. Douglas County officials often refer to the county’s 2035 Comprehensive Master Plan as a “living document” or “evolving document that establishes a common vision for what the county will look like over the next 20 to 30 years.” The intergovernmental agreement is a land-use agreement that maps out broad areas where Parker’s borders meet unincorporated Douglas County. Cielo was originally intended to be developed in Parker, but the town told the county that it is not prepared for development in that area and was not interested in annexing the land, Weitkunat said. The 35-acre lots originally in the Sagewood Estates plan “didn’t fit with the rest of the uses, so we’re bringing it in line” with the existing developments, Weitkunat said. Requests to increase project densities are made by developers. The July 23 meeting in Parker, which involved Weitkunat and other county planners, included “good, interactive discussions” about the development process, Albright said. However, he said he is concerned about the county’s role in encouraging development that isn’t in the best interest of neighboring communities.

And while Colorado is typically the leanest state in the country, with an obesity rate of about 20 percent, there are many who feel the need to try an alternative route to losing extra pounds. “I worried that people would think this is a quick fix or an easy way out, but it’s not like I didn’t try doing things the hard way,” Smith said. “I’m hoping it’s a more permanent solution.” The disadvantages, according to the American Society for Metabolic and Bar-

The National Institutes of Health says that some patients regain some of the lost weight over time and that problems can occur, like a stretched pouch or separated stitches. The risk of leakage is generally 2-3 percent, but Metz says he has had zero reports of leakage. Gastric-bypass surgery and sleeves are generally meant for those with a body-mass index of 35 or greater, but the Mayo Clinic says those with a BMI between 30 and 34 who have serious weight-related health problems are also candidates.

mission on July 15.” The state in 1990 created enterprise zones that offer the economic development benefits of tax credits to qualifying businesses that locate in the areas or to existing businesses expanding operations. Tax credits are available through the enterprise zone for new business and businesses that are expanding. For example, a business can receive a 3 percent tax credit for money to buy new equipment and a $500 per employee tax credit for each new job created. Soon after the state created the enterprise zones in 1990, the cities of Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan applied for and were granted enterprise zone designation for a majority of the industrial and commercial properties within their boundaries. In 2001 there was a successful request to expand the enterprise zone boundaries to include additional properties in Englewood and Little-

According to the report, the businesses created 62 jobs, investing an estimated $50.7 million in their projects, and the state granted a total of about $1.2 million in tax credits. Hollingsworth said the proposal now at the state also proposes enlisting another agency to handle zone administration. In his report to the Englewood City Council concerning the proposed change, Hollingsworth noted the zone administration for a multi-county area is believed to be beyond the scope of Englewood.

Center creates ‘economic garden’ By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com In the fall of 2014, the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center moved into offices located in the same building that houses the Chamber of Commerce in the city administration building at 9220 Kimmer Drive, Lone Tree. Since then, Marcia McGilley and her team have helped nine small businesses get off the ground and continue to help grow what she calls an “economic garden.” “Some people think we only help startups or people thinking about starting a business,” McGilley said. “We help about 40 percent of those with an idea who are actually in that startup phase, but 60 percent of our clients have been in business a year or longer.” The SBDC helps existing and new businesses in Arapahoe, Douglas and south Jefferson counties grow by offering quality, free, one-onone consulting and free or low-cost workshops. “We are finding that our funders

and our hosts are interested in the economic garden of growing the businesses that are still here, keeping and retaining customers, so that’s where our focus is going,” McGilley said. According to SBDC, lack of funding and failure to make a business plan are the two largest barriers to launching a successful business. “In Douglas County we don’t find that funding is the most difficult prospect because we have the socio- McGilley economics down here,” she said. “Most of the people down here selffund their own businesses. But people will jump in before they’ve written a business plan or strategic plan.” SBDC will work with new business to design a business plan, secure funding if needed and devise a strategy for success. “I was a small business owner myself and turned it into a bigger business, but a lot of times when you

get started you think you have all the answers but you really don’t. They need a coach or sounding board or someone they can go to help them,” Lone Tree council member Harold Anderson said. “Most of them don’t really want to ask for help because that shows insecurity. So to have a resource in this area that can coach them and bring them to reality and help them get started is going to cut the failure rate quite a bit.” Anderson was the founder of H.A.H. Medical, a sales and marketing company selling OB/GYN equipment and instruments to hospitals, medical schools and clinics, which he started in 1988. In December 2013 H.A.H Medical was sold to the Thomas Medical Inc. Division of Catheter Research. One of the program’s early success stories is Cranelli’s Italian restaurant, 10047 Park Meadows Drive. The restaurant began working with SBDC in 2013 and has since launched and grown a successful business. “I’ve chosen them as our 2015 nomination for small business of the year,” McGilley said.

Generations form bond over fishing

FISHING LOSING POPULARITY

By Nick Puckett

npuckett@colorado communitymedia.com Knee deep in the north fork of the South Platte River, John Scialdone whips his fly rod back and forth across the water. With a flick of the wrist, he jerks the rod forward, sweeping the line through the air, landing it in the water. His cast is smooth and deliberate. Each movement carefully measured. Each stroke precise. It’s like he’s painting a masterpiece. Scialdone, from Gilbert, Arizona, and his grandson Jake, from Elkview, Pennsylvania, are standing in a stream 10 miles west of Bailey. They met in Colorado the day before for a three-day, guided fly-fishing tour. It’s Jake’s high school graduation present. The river running through the private ranch tucked away in a Rocky Mountain valley is still high. And on this mid-July morning, the 79-year-old man scores his first catch, a 17inch rainbow trout. His smile gives away his lighthearted demeanor. “I really enjoy being outside,” John said as he flings his line upstream again, “whether I catch anything or not.” A few minutes later, he hooks an 18-inch rainbow trout. Twenty feet downstream, Jake throws his line in an almost mirror image of his grandfather. He pays similar attention to the accuracy of each cast — an uncharacteristically gauged approach from the zealous, fast-talking 18-year-old. But, after all, it was his grandfather who taught him how to fish. The line pulls taut. It’s snagged on the river bottom. “I never stop talking about fishing,” Jake said, not missing a beat as he methodically casts again. “Ask my girlfriend.”

Teen is practiced fisherman

Studies show teens are least likely to want to learn to fish. But for Jake, the sport has been a part of his life since he was 3. He

Fly-fishing guide Tom Caprio advises Jake Scialdone on where to cast his line. caught his first trout at 7. The fishing stories and clichés he recites make him sound like an old pro. Jake and his grandfather, whom he calls Pop, meet once or twice a year to go fishing. On this trip, their guide, Tom Caprio, quickly runs through the basics of tension casting, a basic fly-fishing technique not like the romantic false casting you see in movies. Jake catches on quickly. His cast is effortless. His patience measured. His intuition distinct. Jake fishes regularly in a stream near his home 50 miles west of Philadelphia. “It’s more consistent,” Jake said of Pennsylvania fishing where nearly every cast returns a fish, usually a 5-inch brook trout, a species native to eastern North America but also found in the high Colorado mountains. “They’re a lot smaller ... I’d rather get a big one.” The line catches again — he’s got a bite. For two minutes, he fights to reel in the

20-inch brown trout. After a photo shoot with what would be the largest catch of the day, Jake sets it back in the net and takes his own photos so he can draw pictures of it later. He draws every fish he catches, as long as it’s 16 inches long — that’s his rule. As a freshman in high school, Jake played football, but he suffered six concussions that forced him to quit. “That’s when I really started fishing,” Jake said. “It’s all I really had besides music.” He plays the drums and teaches guitar lessons part-time. He landed a part-time job at a local fish market and began deep-sea fishing for prize fish, usually worth about $150, but sometimes thousands of dollars. Fishing in streams or lakes can be more fun than in the ocean, Jake said, “until you catch a fish,” because they’re smaller. “The scenery isn’t as good either,” he added. “Colorado is awesome.”

In 2014, 9.9 million people gave up fishing while 8.7 million started, reflecting a decrease in the pastime’s popularity, according to a fishing report sponsored by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation and the Outdoor Foundation. The report can be found on takemefishing.org. Jake Scialdone, 18, attributes this to a lack of excitement caused by little success in the water. “A lot of kids get bored,” Jake said. “If you don’t have the right technology and don’t catch a lot of fish, you get bored.” Among adults 45 and older, 43 percent said they were considering picking up the sport, according to the report, compared to only 6.6 percent of teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 — the least likely demographic to be interested in the sport. The report suggested a main factor to its low popularity was that only 37 percent of teenagers think outdoor activities are “cool.” Some 41.5 percent of first-time adult anglers said the sport was “uninteresting” or “time-consuming.” “I feel like people say that when they don’t catch anything,” said Scialdone. “It’s all boring until you hook into a 30-inch cutthroat.” The type of fishing can also make a difference in the sport’s excitement, fishing guide Tom Caprio said. “One thing with fly-fishing,” he said, “it’s very active” compared to bait fishing. “When you have kids … you want to go to places with a lot of action.”

‘Up for something new’ Upstream, John continues casting. Unrushed, he watches the fly float downstream as far as the line will give before snapping it out of the water and back upstream. After a while, he wades farther into the water, waist-deep in the fast-moving rapids. John has been fishing since he was 8 years old, but picked up fly-fishing only six years ago. “I keep hearing people say it’s the only true way to catch trout,” said John, “so I figured I’d try it.” He gives another of his trademark, ear-to-ear smiles. “I’m always up for something new.” Hook continues on Page 12

Guide has multitude of roles By Nick Puckett

npuckett@colorado communitymedia.com Fishing guide Tom Caprio doesn’t bring his own rod when he goes fishing — well, he’s not really fishing. His job is to make sure other people catch fish. Caprio, 55, guides fly-fishing tours for Colorado Fly Fishing Adventures and founded Mountain Escapes, a mountain adventure tour business in Colorado and New Mexico. During the winter, Caprio teaches ski lessons. He began guiding fly-fishing tours six years ago. For this trip to a river in a private ranch 10 miles west of Bailey, he lends two rods to his clients, John Scialdone and his grandson Jake Scialdone. Caprio leads John and Jake to a rocky bank. Armed with a 20inch net tucked at his side, four fly-fishing rods, knee pads, and a backpack full of water and first-aid equipment, he almost looks like he’s ready for war. Caprio gives a crash course on tension casting, a fly-fishing technique where the angler casts his or her rod upstream and slowly reels in the line as the fly floats downstream. The more well-known

FISHING TIPS • Fish tend to congregate in areas where the water turns from shallow to deep to find food. “Trout are energy efficient,” said fly-fishing guide Tom Caprio. Instead of going out to find food, he said, fish will stay in one place and catch the insects floating in the current. • Cast near the shoreline for more bites. • Larger fish enjoy larger insects, like locusts and grasshoppers. • Know what type of casting is appropriate for the region you’re fishing. False casting works better when the fish rise to the surface, said Caprio. “False casting … can get messy,” said Caprio. “If the fish aren’t rising, there’s no point. If you want to catch fish, tension casting is the way to go.” • The best time to go fishing is around sunrise when the water is colder. • Research the region you will be fishing in to find out what kinds of fish live there and the things they like. Caprio inspects the water for the types of bugs floating in the current to see what the fish will be feeding on that day. • Check the local fishing reports that day for updates on areas where fish are biting. • Go with a guide — beginner or veteran. “You can shortcut the learning curve,” said Caprio. “There’s different techniques. What guides can do is help learn how to do them, even for some people who have been fishing for years.”

false-casting technique, where the user whips the line back and forth several times before landing it in the water, is used more when fish are rising toward the surface, he explained. “This job is part photographer, part guide … part baby sitter,” he said with a laugh as he freed a hook from his palm. “Part getting hooks

fish.” When John was 9, he and his brother fished in the local canal. The two would bring home long strings of small, scaly, inedible fish. “What the hell you going to do with those?” he recalled his father would ask. “You going to clean them?” They ended up burying the fish as fertilizer. John chuckled at the memory. “We caught gobs of fish. We must’ve caught 50, 60 fish,” he

out my hand.” All day Caprio changes flies, untangles lines and provides advice to John and Jake. But he doesn’t seem to mind. “You’re in pretty places,” he said. “And it’s very in the moment. When you are out here, you can forget about the other stuff.”

said. “From that day on, I knew that I could catch fish. That’s really when I fell in love with it.”

Grandfather shares fish tales At lunch, the grandfather recounted the time a property owner shot at him for floating on a private, Colorado river. Everyone within earshot was glued. He rehashes old fishing tales like a veteran might with war stories. Jake has heard the story probably

a hundred times. He’s the most engaged. For Jake, who fishes more often than he plays video games, the stories never get old. After his fourth catch of the day, Jake posed with a one-handed “hero’s grip” and smiled. He didn’t bother taking a picture of the 10-inch rainbow — too small to immortalize in a drawing. He returned to the same hole. For Jake, fishing is an escape.

He said he likes the solitude. “I’m away from people,” he said. “People are OK, but I get irritated to a point. Fishing, you’re outside by yourself. It gives you an excuse to do something.” He paused casting for a moment and looked upstream at his Pop. “But you’re out here … When you look up, you look around, you realize where you are.”

Good times brewing at RiNo hotel New Belgium Brewing is about to let the creative juices flow through a new 10-barrel pilot brewery at The Source Hotel in Denver’s River North District, which is slated to start construction later this summer. New Belgium will brew on the ground floor of the Source Hotel, with barrel aging on the eighth floor in a rooftop lounge dubbed The Woods, a collaboration between New Belgium and The Source Hotel. The Woods will serve New Belgium beers paired with small plates and will include a snack counter and bar, sit-down dining and beer garden. The eighth floor will also include a pool and rooftop deck with mountain and downtown views. “After 25 years in Fort Collins, we’re really excited to get more deeply involved in Colorado’s cultural and political capital,” said Jenn Vervier, director of strategy and sustainability at New Belgium. “We’ve long considered creating a Denver location to bring the New Belgium experience to more of our Colorado fans and to the millions of travelers who visit Denver. RiNo is already a vivid scene with a rich art and craft beer culture, and will soon have great access for bikers and walkers. This small batch brewery will allow us to collaborate with The Woods’ chef and mixologists to create innovative beers, drinks and pairings you can’t get anywhere else. The Source Hotel and the Zeppelin Development team are the perfect fit.” To learn more about New Belgium Brewing, check out www.NewBelgium.com, and for more on The Source, visit www.TheSourceDenver.com.

Tap and Burger expands

Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake, a sister restaurant to the popular Highland Tap and Burger, will be the first tenant in the seven-block, $300 million development of Sloans, a restaurant, retail and residential neighborPenny Parker hood directly south MILE HIGH of Sloan’s Lake. The 177-acre project will LIFE be the second largest in the Mile High City. Alexan Sloan’s Lake, occupying blocks five and six of the seven-block Sloans project, is a new 369-unit luxury apartment development by Trammell Crow Residential. Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake is the newest endeavor from Juan Padro and his wife, Katie O’Shea-Padro, owners of LoHi’s awardwinning Highland Tap and Burger. The 4,600-square-foot Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake space, at 1565 Raleigh St., is part of TCR’s 10,000-square-foot ground level retail and restaurant development. “Being a part of a community is superimportant to us, and this project really lends itself to embracing the Sloan’s Lake community,” Padro said. ”We were encouraged, as I hope others will be, by the fact that we have a compelling opportunity to contribute to the future growth of such a dynamic neighborhood. It’s a super-active area — you’ve got apartments, homes with back yards, a great walkability factor, the park and the lake —

that’s bolstered by a ton of football traffic and thousands of cars that use Colfax to get in and out of downtown.” Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake is scheduled to begin construction in late fall, and Padro plans to open in March 2016. The Alexan Sloan’s Lake project includes high-design studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments. Construction on the apartments is underway with the first units delivering in October.

A hole-in-one takes luck, but skill and strategy don’t hurt

By Jim Benton

FUN FACTS

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com

If Bill Loeffler could do it over again, he would have saved each of the golf balls he used to make a hole-in-one. The 58-year-old Douglas County resident, who owns The Links Golf Course in Highlands Ranch, would have quite a collection: He’s made 14 aces. But he didn’t keep any of the balls. “I should have, but now it’s too late,” said Loeffler, a member of the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame who played two years on the PGA tour. “The first hole-in-one was at Cherry Hills Country Club. It was on No. 6, and I was 12 years old. I missed the ball. I almost topped it. It hardly got in the air, rolled all the way down and up the hill. They are all lucky, but that was probably the luckiest one.” Even for players with resumes like Loeffler’s, it doesn’t hurt to be near a four-leaf clover when it comes to marking a “1” on a scorecard. “A hole-in-one is a very lucky shot,” said Pat Tait, head professional at Raccoon Creek in south Jefferson County. “There’s a lot of skill to where it starts out, but when that Part 3 of 3 on finding ball goes in the ways to get better hole, it requires a at and get more lot of goodness. It’s enjoyment out of golf. quite a feat and a very exciting time for the person that gets it.” How rare is an ace? One is recorded only once every 3,500 rounds, according to the National Hole-InOne Registry. The odds of a player doing it twice in a round? That would be 67 million to 1, the registry says. But it’s not all chance. Playing a lot of golf and being good at it are factors. Jason Preeo, a MetaGolf instructor at

RAISING YOUR

GAME

• California and Texas see the most holes-in-one, accounting for 9 percent each of the aces made in the nation. • Titleist balls account for 45 percent of all holes-inone. Nike is second at 15 percent. • Two players, one from California and one from Michigan, have recorded at least one career ace right-handed and at least one left-handed.

At The Links Golf Course in Highlands Ranch, this is what you get for a hole-in-one. Photos by Jim Benton Broken Tee and the boys golf coach at Valor Christian, said it takes a combination of skill and luck to get an ace. He’s made five of them, by the way. “There’s the expression, ‘The better you are, the luckier you get,’” said Preeo, who has played in the U.S. Open. “For the most part, that is true. If you hit the ball close to the hole every fifth shot instead of every 10th shot, your odds for a hole-in-one go up.” Club selection is one of the keys to improving the odds of collecting an ace, Loeffler said. “The amateurs I play with in pro-ams, 95 percent of them are always short,” he said. “I keep telling them to take a half-club more or whatever. Just take more club to get there. You can’t make a hole-in-one if you can’t get

the ball to the hole. Most people don’t take enough club. Distance is the key.” Players of all ages and abilities can attest to that. Pat Allen, an 89-year-old, once-a-week player from Littleton, used an 8-iron to ace the 70-yard fifth hole on the par-3 course at Foothills Golf Course on June 15. She has been playing for 49 years. “It was a lot of fun,” Allen said. “Before I croak, I hope to have another one. That was my first, and I intend to take it with me when I go. “I hit the ball, and it was a pretty shot. It went across the small water that was there, and it landed on the green and went ‘plop.’ I realized it, but I wasn’t sure until I heard one of my fellow playmates say it went in the hole

— and that’s when I went ‘Whoopie!’” Walker Kurtz, 12, just started playing golf last summer, but he made a hole-in-one in June on the 143-yard first hole on South Suburban’s par-3 course in Centennial with a 9-iron. “I was really surprised because I didn’t know what happened,” the Centennial resident said. “I needed a minute to take it all in. I was really excited. “I didn’t realize at first what an accomplishment it was, but now that everyone has told me about it, it’s kind of gotten really cool. I guess it was beginner’s luck.”

Racing ’hobby’ keeps him on track Centennial driver finishes second at Mile High Nationals By Jim Benton

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Driving a race car more than 190 mph can be addictive, and J.J. Heber is hooked. Heber, a 39-year-old Centennial resident, leads the National Hot Rod Association’s Division 5 region Top Sportsman standings by 19 points over Jim White of Haysville, Kansas. “I’ve been doing this since high school,” said Heber, who is in the landscape business. “I’m addicted. It’s more addictive than anything else. It’s a hobby. We just do it as a family hobby, my mom and dad, wife and kids. I don’t make enough money to make it real. It gets expensive.” Heber, driving a 2006 Mustang, had one of the best cars at the Mopar Mile High Nationals, but a bad reaction at the start of the July 26 title race against Longmont’s Ron Williams was costly as he wound up the Top Sportsman runner-up. “In the finals, I lost the beams and missed the tree,” he explained. “I pushed it all the way that I could and tried to break him out and instead I broke out. We were pretty consistent all day. We were happy.” Heber, whose father Gary is in charge of the mechanical work on the car, reached 192.55 mph but couldn’t catch Williams before the finish line.

J.J. Heber of Centennial finished second in the Top Sportsman division at the Mopar Mile High Nationals but remains the Division 5 NHRA Top Sportsman divisional leader. He drives an ‘06 Mustang. Photo by Jim Benton “Dad does all the technical work,” Heber said. “I just drive the car and maintain it. It’s still a definite adrenaline rush to drive the car.” For the first time, the NHRA has a national award for Top Sportsman drivers where the best results in three of five national races plus divisional results are calculated to determine a winner. He is cur-

rently sixth in the standings. “It’s been a consistent year,” said Heber. “We don’t have any wins yet but got a lot of round wins, and we’re happy with that. We want to win the world championship this year and the division championship and go to the Jegs All-Stars. “I don’t have time to watch a movie not because of the car but because we have

three kids, chasing them around playing soccer, baseball and lacrosse. They all love to come to the races but I don’t let them get involved in racing. I want them to play sports through high school.” Heber, however, will continue to race. He will compete in Sonoma, California, July 31 through Aug. 2 and will enter two more national events in St. Louis and Dallas.

Weinstein shot a 1-over-par 73 in Friday’s final round, leaving her at 10-overpar 298 overall. Kupcho likewise posted a 298 total in the event when she placed 29th last year.

Public Trustees

If you believe that your lender or servicer has failed to provide a single point of contact (38-38-103.1 CRS) or they are still pursuing foreclosure even though you have submitted a completed loss mitigation application or you have been offered and have accepted a loss mitigation option (38-38103.2 CRS), you may file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General (720-508-6006) or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (855-411-2372) or both.
