Digging deep into the past Parker man helps families uncover long-forgotten history By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Knowing what the future holds is a difficult proposition, but knowing the past has gotten much easier. Technology has brought about new ways of accessing old documents, helping more people discover their family histories. At the forefront of the changes has been Tom Duncan, who has taken on the art of genealogy as more than just a hobby. Duncan launched The Attic Genealogy Research from his Parker home in 2011, and since then has been uncovering closely held secrets, unraveling mysteries and introducing families to their ancestors. Duncan, a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, uses common means of accessing public records, such as Ancestry.com, but has visited archives in Washington, D.C., that hold documents that have not yet been digitized. He also
has access to extensive databases that help connect the dots and fill in the gaps. The results are not always earth shattering, but they are nonetheless enlightening. “Not everyone’s family is famous, but everyone’s family has history that’s pretty amazing, since most of our ancestors were immigrants and had to take a lot of chances and risks to try to make a life over here,” says Duncan, who neatly packages the information based on his clients’ preferences. Access has improved at blinding speed in recent years due to online databases, record digitization and advancements like optical character readers that scan documents for key words. And with the advent of television shows like “Finding Your Roots,” “Who Do You Think You Are?” and the “Genealogy Roadshow,” more people have become interested in brushing the dirt away from undiscovered or long-forgotten family histories. Many of Duncan’s clients have recently lost a loved one. “They look at genealogy as a way to keep their memory alive and find out what their History continues on Page 9

The Douglas County Planning Commission has recommended denial of a controversial amendment that could result in a higher density of homes south of Parker. The 3-2 vote by the planning commission, an advisory board to the county commissioners, followed two hours of impassioned pleas Aug. 3 from Pradera and Vistancia residents, who live adjacent to land being proposed for new homes northwest of South Parker Road and Scott Road. They are concerned that three proposed developments — Cielo, Sagewood Estates and Stone Creek Ranch — will have a negative impact on their neighborhood, including an increase in traffic and potential devaluation of homes. The planning commission was asked to consider an amendment to an intergovernmental agreement between the county and the Town of Parker. The IGA guides land use in areas where town boundaries meet with unincorporated areas of Douglas County. The properties are within Parker’s urban growth area, but the town said it is not yet prepared for additional development in that area, causing the landowners to ask Douglas County to review the plans. The Douglas County commissioners are scheduled to make a final decision on the IGA amendment at 2:30 p.m. Aug. 11 at the Philip S. Miller Building in Castle Rock. If the changes to the IGA are approved, developers can then apply to rezone the land from an agricultural designation to “Planned Development,” allowing for a higher density of homes. Arlington Land Partners, LLC, which is developing the 151-acre Cielo site and recently took ownership of Stone Creek Ranch, is prepared to request the rezoning if the amendment is approved by the county commissioners.

HELLO
NEWS IN A HURRY County seeks public opinion on transit
A glimpse of the people in our community
... My Name Is
Douglas County wants to gauge residents’ opinion on public transit. A brief survey, closing Aug. 16, features 25 short-answer and multiple-choice questions, giving citizens and taxpayers the opportunity to shape the future of public transit in Douglas County through sharing thoughts and experiences. The survey — implemented by the Colorado-based Fox Tuttle Hernandez Transportation Group — takes less than 10 minutes to complete and addresses how often the participant uses public transit; when, where and for what type of trips transit services are used; as well as whether people who don’t use transit would utilize services if they were convenient and more readily available. The survey is part of the Douglas County Transit Demand Study. Survey results will be used to guide future transit planning and potential transit investments. To take the survey, visit douglas.co.us/transitsurvey.
DEREK SCOTT
Stay-at-home dad, pro photographer About me I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness in the small town of Klamath Falls, Oregon. After I graduated from high school, I moved to Portland with some friends in the early ’90s to start a new life, and became a Christian and met my wife, Heather. With her job, over the years, we moved from Oregon and have also lived in Utah, Washington and now Colorado. Since my first daughter was born nine years ago, I have been a stayat-home dad with multiple interests and hobbies. I also created my own photography business, Derek Scott Photography, in Parker, where we have lived since 2011. My friends know that I’m fun-loving, playful and humorous, yet I also love having deep and rich conversations.
Art & Ale fest is back
A typical weekday
Parker officers to get award
As a stay-at-home dad, with a wife who also works from home (whenever she’s not traveling), we partner really well to take care of our two beautiful daughters, Chloe and Rachel. Mostly my days up to this point have been full of finding ways to lead, teach and coach Rachel in life (now 3 ½) while her big sister Chloe (9) is at school. Now that Rachel will be starting pre-K this year, I will have a few extra hours to focus on photography, or maybe start up a new exercise program! We value family dinners (I can make a mean steak), attending church on Sundays, and spending time with the amazing friends we’ve made in Parker.
Just for fun Besides spending time with family and friends, my favorite way to spend a weekend is outdoors, taking photos of wildlife, storms and landscapes. I’m also a licensed private pilot and auto enthusiast. I own a 1994 Mustang Cobra, and occasionally enter it in local car shows or drive it up to the Golden Super Cruise during the summers.
The 2015 Art & Ale Brew Festival is coming back to Liniger Building at CU South Denver, formerly The Wildlife Experience. The popular event returns for the 12th year from 6 to 11 p.m. Aug. 14. Attendees can enjoy unlimited tastings from an array of craft breweries and local restaurants, dance to live music, play corn hole and other games, see professional artists create new art and make their own art to take home. General admission tickets are $45 and VIP tickets are $100. Designated drivers cost $25. Worry-free hotel packages are available and include two tickets to Art & Ale, a shuttle to and from the event, and late checkout. For more information, go to www.southdenver.cu.edu/events/event/ art-ale/.
On Oct. 27, the Parker Police Department will be awarded for incorporating technology into its policing at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Annual Conference in Chicago. The department was selected as a 2015 National Law Enforcement Challenge winner after a group of peers, traffic safety and law enforcement professionals deemed the agency’s application as one of the best in the category. Officers Casey Cashman and Chris Kozuch, of the department’s traffic unit, will each receive a Special Category Award in Technology for their dedication to technological policing. Both officers identified areas where the state-of-the-art technological units would increase the safety of the public and increase efficiency of law enforcement officers utilizing the technology. The Parker police identified areas where technology could be implemented into daily operations. As a result, the department obtained the E-Ticketing system, purchased equipment with “Distance Between Cars” technology, magnification scopes to enforce seat-belt violations, and automated license plate recognition systems. “The Parker Police Department will continue to strive for cuttingedge technology and provide equipment that promotes safety and security for the citizens we serve,” the department said in a statement.

Permanently in Parker The weather in “Colorful Colorado” is truly amazing. I think I appreciate it even more after living in places like Portland and Federal Way, Washington. I love experiencing all four seasons, and all of the local wildlife. Even the afternoon thunderstorms lead to some amazing photo opportunities! We’ve found that the people in Parker are really friendly and welcoming. I’ve enjoyed working with several employees on some photography for the town of Parker and the Parker Chamber of Commerce, and have also been featured in the Parker Calendar for the past two years. Our family has lived in a several other places, but we hope to call Parker “home” for good! By Chris Michlewicz.

Nearly 16,000 tickets were sold in 2014, an increase of about 3,000 from the previous year. Revenue from those sales was nearly $115,000. Debus said one of the biggest draws has been free admission on Sundays, which is sponsored by Castle Rock Bank. “On Sunday, it used to be that we had

The draft horse show will be going on in the indoor arena Aug. 9, beginning at 10 a.m. The event is back this year after missing 2014 due to concerns over a statewide equine virus.

Events like roping are always a big draw at the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo, which has seen attendance rise in recent years.

Parking is free at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. “The county fair is a very wholesome event that takes us back to a simpler time, and one that reminds us of Douglas County’s past,” Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge said. “But that feeling also exists now, in the present. A large part of the county is still rural and still has those agricultural roots.”

WINE-ING THEIR WAY AROUND DOWNTOWN
Mark Hollenbeck, a member of the Parker Artist Guild, works on a piece that involves multiple artists, including children.
The Blinker Fluid Band kept people dancing.
The streets of downtown Parker take on a spirited atmosphere with the Parker Chamber of Commerce’s monthly Wine Walks, in which wine-lovers stop by local businesses and sample a range of varietals. On July 31, parking was at a premium, musicians occupied street corners, and a volunteer handed out wine glasses at a feverish pace at the chamber’s office at Mainstreet and Pikes Peak Drive. A team of volunteers from the Parker Area Historical Society, the nonprofit chosen for July to help out and get a portion of the event proceeds, dispensed wine from 26 different stations. Each Wine Walk attracts more than 1,000 people on average. PHOTOS BY CHRIS MICHLEWICZ

VOICES
LOCAL
In reality, customer isn’t always right We have all seen it or witnessed it before, a customer who is antagonistic, rude and obnoxious, treating the employee or manager or business owner so poorly that they end up belittling the person and making everyone around them uncomfortable. They behave this way because they believe that such aggressiveness coupled with a raised voice and an attitude of anger will get them better service. Stop and think about that for one minute. I am sure you also see the irony and ridiculousness of such a thought process. Yet some people just can’t help themselves, missing the whole concept of catching more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. Regardless of the business we are in and the role we play, our number one goal should be creating customer loyalty and building a network of raving fans that will allow us to generate the income that we need in order to provide the best service possible. And I would say that as a consumer in the community I am almost always pretty impressed with the level of service, attitude and knowledge of the folks who are there to help me. Let me ask you a question, have you ever found yourself in a position where you had to fire a customer? Yes, you read that right, have you ever had to fire a customer? Have you ever been fired as a customer? I can share with you that I have ended relation-
ships with several customers over the years. It was always a little uncomfortable but I had no regrets when it was finally done. You see, the customer may always be the customer, but the customer is not always right, and the customer does not have the right to treat Michael Norton you or your employees WINNING rudely. Now don’t get me WORDS wrong, it is always a last resort to take such a drastic action. There are discussions and compromises offered, some sharing of information and even some negotiation. But when the aggressive behavior and angry attitude are consistent and the requests are outrageous and unreasonable, it is time to suggest to the customer that they should seek your particular products and services elsewhere. Again the customer is always the customer, but not every customer is a good or profitable customer. Setting mutual expectations up front is the key in helping to avoid such uncomfortable and awkward situations. Providing ourselves and our employees with safe boundaries when such customers show up in our
business will reduce stress and preserve our employees’ dignity while leading to a reduction in staffing turnover. Stop and think about any recent interactions where you were the one involved in a conflict with a business or where you witnessed a terrible incident. How did you feel? How do you think the other people around you felt? The words that come to mind are embarrassed, uncomfortable, disappointed, and maybe even sympathetic for both the consumer and the employee. So, how about you? Are you a good customer? Do you understand that not everything is perfect every time and that if you maintain a positive attitude, open mind, and participate constructively with the businesses where you love to shop, eat, drink and play, in finding a mutually rewarding win-win solution, that you will never find yourself being “fired” as a customer? I would really love to hear your thoughts about the importance of being a good customer at gotnorton@gmail.com, and when we realize that being a good customer is being a good citizen, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.
Time is ripe for yet another banana blight The banana’s appeal is not slipping. But the future of bananas is in doubt, and it’s not because they have a shelf life from here to the cash register. A CNN report said, “Fifty years ago we were eating better bananas.” The article went on to say that in 1965 things changed because of a fungal disease. “It started in Central America and quickly spread to most of the world’s commercial banana plantations, leaving no other choice but to burn them down.” I didn’t know anything about it. That was the year I graduated from high school, left home and started college. I was not focusing on bananas. I like bananas. I like the packaging. I can get into a banana without any problems. Have you ever tried to open a pomegranate? A pineapple? A prickly pear? The only problem — I thought — with bananas was their shelf life, which is hours — it seems — not days. Bananas are shipped green, turn yellow in the store, and brown in your back seat. I am (almost) exaggerating. You can slow the ripening process by putting them in the refrigerator. I’ll bet you didn’t know this: If you place bananas near other fruit, the other fruit will ripen faster. In 1965, the banana industry was reeling because of the fungus.
So a new fungus-resistant species was introduced that is hardier. It just doesn’t taste as good. Of course, if you were born after 1965, you don’t know the difference. And neither do I. Craig Marshall Smith My banana palette QUIET was not very well DESPERATION developed until much later, when I heard about their benefits. Although I still don’t know why I need potassium. Around 1990, a new disease that started in Malaysia began to affect bananas. The disease took a boat to Australia. It made it to Africa in 2013. If the new 1965 species is done for, we’re probably looking at a banana that won’t taste as good, but can survive. Look at tomatoes. Outside of a farmers’ market and heirlooms, they are flavorless. They look like tomatoes. But they don’t taste like tomatoes. I handle tomatoes at the store, and they all feel like a three ball.
I am in favor of canned tomatoes now. But not canning tomatoes. My grandmother used to do that. She started on a Monday and by Saturday she was all set. You’re supposed to eat canned tomatoes within a year, but there are stories about canned tomatoes that were consumed after more than a year. More than two years. All I know is that we had a picnic in my grandmother’s back yard, and I had a picnic in the bathroom that night. I try to stay away from home-canned fruits and vegetables now. Not very adventuresome of me, I know. There is hope for the banana and the banana industry. I will keep my eyes peeled. He said. Because I am a family of one, I never buy more than two or three bananas at one time. Bananas are sold in bunches, but you can take exactly what you need, which leaves a lot of lonely bananas on the shelf. Those are the ones I go for. Unless they are browning. Don’t send me a recipe for banana bread. I had my fill in the 1970s. Bananas are just a little depressing. Life is short, but it shouldn’t be that short. Go eat a banana.

Community colleges are perfect for seniors As the population of our communities ages, questions remain about key issues that older adults face in order to live happily and age well. Since the 1960s, the annual White House Conference on Aging has met to identify and advance actions to improve the quality of life of older Americans. This past year, a series of regional forums and listening sessions encouraged leaders and older Americans to determine key aging issues. Four areas emerged: • Healthy aging • Long-term services and support • Elder justice • Retirement security Community colleges around the country are responding. According to the American Association of Community Colleges, adults over 50 make up a growing population interested in returning to school. “Tailored to local demand, community colleges are in a unique position to serve plus-50 learners because of proximity, flexible hours and diverse programming, and this population is emerging as a viable and growing source of new community college students,” the association writes.
In response to questions raised in the Healthy Aging Policy Brief, the AACC shared a response to two key questions about actions that older adults could take to enjoy a long, productive and healthy quality of life. “Community colKim Larsonleges offer many opCooney portunities for older adults to stay engaged LIVING AND and connected to communities. AGING WELL their Learning new skills and information boosts confidence and stimulates the brain as it ages,” the AACC writes. “Taking a course or pursuing a new certificate or degree keeps minds active and involved, while giving older adults a sense of purpose. “ Many older adults are staying in the workplace longer or seeking to make a career switch to a profession that is meaningful
and rewarding. Many start a business. This re-invention of self can spark innovation and creativity while building self-confidence. Many community colleges are creating special programs for workers over 50 who want to either complete degrees or certificates they began years ago or start new ones. Beyond the classroom, community colleges engage and serve older adults through other programs and services including: volunteer opportunities, participation in career and technical program advisory committees, attendance at local college events, access to college library facilities, and membership in college wellness and fitness centers. Additionally, an intergenerational haven is found on a community college campus, and many older adults enjoy the interaction with younger students. Older students serve as role models, mentors, and tutors. Community colleges are determining ways to measure experience to provide college credit for life skills. Student orientations, advisors and classes have been established to help potential older students navigate the college Aging continues on Page 9

Planning Continued from Page 1
The planning commission received 35 letters from homeowners in Pradera and Vistancia who urged them to recommend denial of the amendment. Chris Peterson, who owns three homes in the vicinity of the proposed developments, said he purchased them with the idea that the county’s Comprehensive Master Plan would be followed. The CMP would be altered by a change in the IGA. Peterson slammed what he says appears to be “widespread approval” of new subdivisions without considering the impacts to existing residents. Two other residents said they moved into their homes in June only to find out later that the land to the north was being proposed for development. Planning commission members Dave Simonson and Bill Vincent said they welcome input from the public and understand the concerns of existing residents. Simonson said he has “more questions than answers” about how the developments will impact Pradera and Vistancia, and he voted to recommend denial of the IGA amendment. Vincent suggested recommending approval with certain conditions, and was one of the two votes in favor of the IGA amendment. Commissioner Clarence Hughes said the changes “don’t seem to fit the harmony” of the surrounding developments, and commissioner Joe Procopio said the added vehicle traffic resulted in a “significant safety factor” and would need to be addressed before he recommended approval. Douglas County staff said the amendments were consistent with the character of the area and suggested that the planning commission recommend approval. Pradera and Vistancia residents — about 20 of whom voiced their frustration at the

(relatives’) lives were like before the kids were born,” Duncan said. Due to the time and costs associated with intensive genealogical research, however, parents of young children and busy professionals often can’t make it a priority. That’s where The Attic Genealogy Research comes in, because the resources that Duncan has at his fingertips enable him to provide a broad view of a family’s history. Plus, as his website notes, there’s “no substitute for doggedly digging around at local libraries, courthouses, historical societies and cemeteries to ensure that your family history is pieced together accurately and as completely as possible.” Parker resident Steve Budnack can attest to Duncan’s determination. The latter recently completed an eight-month search on behalf of the former. Budnack had attempted his own genealogy research 10 years ago, but hit roadblocks that prevented him gathering all of the information. Having met Duncan through the Parker Rotary Club, Budnack enlisted his help. “He took it to another level with me,” Budnack says. “He went back much farther than I could ever do myself.”

experience. In the metro area there are five easily accessible community colleges. All offer credit as well as leisure learning classes Interestingly online, learning is also popular with older students. One recent student from Arapahoe Community College wrote: “I have so enjoyed the online classes that I’ve taken. The range of subjects has been such fun to peruse. The coursework has been enriching and exciting. At 70, I have appreciated the opportunity to explore new topics, learn new things and stay abreast of what’s happening in our changing world …. I believe that online education is an exciting new avenue for older adults to stay engaged in the world while having a great deal of fun!” Beyond direct services to older adults, many community colleges provide training programs for those interested in working with the older adult population in growing careers including home health workers, nurse aides, and a unique eldercare specialist position for those working
meeting — are particularly worried that the new neighborhoods will diminish their quality of life. Bayou Gulch Road would be congested, torn up by construction trucks and unsafe for their children to cross. The residents said the developers of Cielo, also known as Arlington Ranch, should pay for infrastructure instead of using roads that are unfit for more vehicle traffic. Michael Sanders, a representative for Arlington Land Partners, LLC, said the company plans to pave and extend Scott Road, rebuild a bridge over Cherry Creek, dedicate open space, and complete an unfinished section of the Cherry Creek Regional Trail. “We are paying more than our fair share” of infrastructure costs, Sanders told the planning commission. Sanders also said the level of development would be the same whether it occurs in Parker or Douglas County, and pointed out that the Douglas County Comprehensive Master Plan and intergovernmental agreement allow for the proposed number of homes. Cielo could include 343 detached singlefamily 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 329 homes on 250 acres later this year. It is located north of the Pinery Glen development, south of Scott Avenue and west of South Parker Road. Preliminary planning documents show around 50 homes for Sagewood Estates, but that number is likely to go up if the IGA amendment is approved by the Douglas Board of County Commissioners Aug. 11. Dave Brehm, a representative for Plan West, which is helping to develop Sagewood Estates, said he sympathizes with the neighbors and acknowledges change is difficult, but their plans meet the county’s development criteria. “Our intention is not to ruin any neighborhoods” or destroy anyone’s quality of life, Brehm said.

the campus. It is hoping to involve Douglas County Libraries and the Douglas County School District in its development, as well as local creative industries and even teen entrepreneurs. Four- to- eight-week courses will cost around $100 to $200 to make them affordable for anyone.
Building a team
Destination downtown?
Improving the daytime economy, helping to develop small businesses and attracting primary employers have long been focal points for the Town of Parker, which formed its own economic development department in 2012. Mayor Mike Waid said although discussions are in preliminary stages, Innovation Pavilion is an ideal fit for downtown Parker, and possibly land that the town purchased in March 2014 at Mainstreet and the eastern portion of Victorian Drive. The injection of professionals could have a major impact on the area. “The chances of us getting a business with 100 employees… they’re hard to find,” Waid said. “But legitimately, could we get 20 businesses with five employees? Absolutely. That’s what this concept brings to us.” Innovation Pavilion will offer classes to satisfy the demand among entrepreneurs who need training but don’t want to accumulate school debt. The average person changes career fields multiple times in their life and corporations are no longer investing in training employees who might not stay with the company for long.
A ‘groundswell’ of entrepreneurs
The percentage of students pursuing an MBA who want to start their own business out of college is rising, said Ahmed, who has served on numerous boards and committees related to education and technology, including the STEM School in Highlands Ranch. “There is a groundswell occurring and a tsunami coming our way,” Ahmed said. “The education system, it’s not enough to support the tsunami.” Innovation Pavilion is planning to establish a permanent presence in Parker by building a “sizable campus with many components” in about a year, Ahmed said. It is still developing a business model for Parker and seeking $10 million-$20 million in contributions from partners to create
The south metro area is teeming with professionals and retirees who want to give back by volunteering their expertise, Ahmed said. “They enjoy working with entrepreneurs and do it to keep their minds sharp,” Ahmed said, adding that some mentors join the company later or are looking for investment opportunities among the fledgling start-ups. Innovation Pavilion is undergoing a nationwide expansion, but decided it was worth setting up shop in neighboring Parker, where the entrepreneurial spirit runs strong. Ahmed said he was impressed with Parker’s openness to the idea of bringing in an incubator for small businesses. Weldy Feazell, business recruitment and marketing manager for the Town of Parker, said anticipation is already building for the limitless possibilities. “This could be a game-changer for Parker and what we can do with small business and entrepreneur development across the board,” she said.
Putting Parker on the biz map
Waid, a small business owner himself, believes Innovation Pavilion will bring a unique energy to Parker and “put us on the map in terms of business environments.” “Having access to that synergy makes new things happen,” he said. “True innovation happens at the micro level. This gives our citizens and business an opportunity to participate in something that’s innovative.” Parker and Innovation Pavilion will work with local corporations to explore ways to make employees happier, more productive and more secure, the company said in an announcement. The partnership will also seek to bring increased business investment to the community. Innovation Pavilion and the Town of Parker will host a launch event at the PACE Center on Sept. 22.
He learned that his great-great uncle helped dig Abraham Lincoln’s basement in Illinois. He also realized that a woman he has known for six years who lives in Franktown is his second cousin. The piece-bypiece reveal kept Budnack’s excitement going throughout the process. But there was one particular day that Budnack recalls, one that forever changed his view on his family’s legacy. Duncan called him on the phone and asked to meet immediately. He had found something monumental: the Niland brothers, who are at the center of the “Saving Private Ryan” story, are his second cousins. “Most families moved away and it never got passed down,” said Budnack, who grew up in the Buffalo, New York, area. “I think it went to the grave with a lot of people.” Duncan was so excited by the find that he raced down to the Parker Task Force, where Budnack volunteers, to share the news. “He was pretty shocked about it,” Duncan said.

Community colleges offer flexible class scheduling and are very affordable. There’s never been a better time for older Americans to explore their passions, learn new things, update their skills, or fulfill lifelong dreams by going to community colleges.

The Centennial taste

Coloradans savor a multitude of foods and flavors By Taryn Walker
“Have you ever noticed how Coloradans take on a niche for everything and make it creative?” she said while shopping on a recent Wednesday at the farmers market at Aspen Grove in Littleton. “You’ve got to try some of our Vietnamese and Ethiopian food here in this state.”
When it comes to signature foods, the word on the street is that peaches, green chiles (the pepper and the dish), beef, lamb and bison are among them. Here’s a look at a variety of foods — and a popular beverage — that bring big taste to the Centennial State.
A PLACE FOR PRODUCE
MORE THAN BEEF
Gina Vega of Ray Domenico Farms said Colorado food means greens. The farms are based in Platteville and are certified organic — which is important to residents in the state, she said. Kale and spinach do especially well and so do collard greens and cabbage, she said. “We always sell out of spinach,” Vega said. Beets, pickles and Italian peppers are also something Vega said she sees a lot of people eyeing and buying. Becoming organic wasn’t easy, but beneficial to customers, she said. “The process took about five years to switch over,” Vega said. “My uncle took over the farm and realized organic was the way to go, because there was such a strong need for it. The Colorado Department of Agriculture comes in and tests the fields and water, and there’s guidelines that must be followed, then we’re fully evaluated.” Locally grown food inspires a feeling of community, Littleton resident John Herian said. Herian, a frequent vendor at area farmers markets, said when he thinks of Colo-
The state of Colorado is the fourth largest exporter of fresh and frozen beef in the United States, which makes things a little easier on those who hanker for burgers. Crave Real Burgers has three locations — Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch and Colorado Springs — and the trio of stores has sold more than a million burgers since their opening in 2010, manager Macerena Revis said. “We hand-form our 80/20 (beef/fat) sixounce patties,” she said. “We don’t get anything that’s frozen; we know exactly what’s in it. I think people ask a lot of questions about what they’re eating, because they want to know where it’s coming from. All of our beef is from a Colorado ranch — it’s local.” Revis said Crave’s top-selling burger is “Love Stinks,” which is topped with roasted garlic cream cheese, more garlic, onions, roasted red pepper and red pepper aioli. Also featured is the “Colorado,” which is shredded lamb, poblano peppers, onions, pepper jack cheese, avocado, chipotle mayo and tomato.
The state ranks third in the nation for market sheep and lamb, according to the Colorado Department of Agriculture. Buffalo — or more accurately, bison — might be an odd sight on a menu in many states, but it’s common here. Revis said buffalo burgers are a hot item at her store because Coloradans like leaner meat. Buffalo burgers have less fat and aren’t too different in taste from ground beef, she said — especially topped with condiments like raspberry barbecue sauce.
twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com What is Colorado cuisine? Parker resident, cookbook author and TasteBook.com columnist Jenny Hartin said after spending 15 years in New York,
two in Phoenix and the last two in Colorado, the truth is “all cuisines are a melting pot of what we love and enjoy, and foods that our families have instilled into memories.” Littleton’s Denise Wynn said Colorado food staples have blossomed into traditions and tastes that come from other countries.
Greens like kale and spinach, especially organic, are hot items for Coloradans, said Gina Vega of Ray Domenico Farms. rado food, peaches — in particular, Palisade peaches — come to mind. Forte Farms, out of Palisade, specializes in peaches — including varieties some outof-staters have never even heard of. One passer-by at the market marveled over the farms’ donut peaches and bought a bundle. Employee George Vulin recommended the white peach, which is a sweet hybrid grown with apricots and plums. Vulin said peaches grow best in the Grand Junction area because of the climate.
A BREW FOR YOU Colorado’s 235 craft breweries as of 2014 were the third most in the nation, according to the Brewers Association, www.brewersassociation.org. Carrie Knose, co-owner and manager of Living the Dream Brewing Co. in Highlands Ranch, agrees that beer rules in this state. “It’s an integral part of our economy,” she said. “It’s kind of been creating its own culture in the past few years. People are becoming more exposed to the different styles of beer and what you can do with the brewing process.” Knose said IPAs are huge in Colorado.

A bite of bison

Shockingly, the lean bison meat was incredibly flavorful and juicy, providing a nice contrast with the sweet sauce.

most popular by far, followed by Helluva Caucasian, which is a chocolate peanut butter espresso stout. “Our double IPA is insanely popular too,” Knose said. “It’s been the dominant style of beer over the past 10 years. People love their hops, and ours is very aromatic and hop forward.” Although her establishment doesn’t sell food, it does feature food trucks. In fact, trucks like Churn & Burn, which station themselves around the Denver area, use Living the Dream’s beer to make sauce bases, Knose said.
Jeannette Martinez of J & J’s Gourmet Salsa said her homemade salsas, pico de gallo and seven-layer dips are hot items for Colorado residents. In fact, several Denver Broncos players are avid buyers of her products, she said. It all started with her grandma’s recipe and a fundraiser, and ever since she’s sold burritos, tamales, enchiladas, tortillas, gorditas and corn chips to enhance the flavorful mix of her salsas. She makes bean and cheese pork green chile burritos by special order, and people can’t get enough, she said. The jalapenos, cilantro and chiles are all Colorado-born, she said. Hartin, who edited the PTO cookbook for Mammoth Heights Elementary in Park-
er, said she had more than 25 green chile enchilada recipes, as well as several green chile soups and other dishes submitted by parents. “Apparently southern Colorado is green chile country,” she said. “The altitude, hot
days and cool nights are prime growing conditions, I’ve read. Whenever any food item is in abundance, of course, it becomes the food of that area — Maryland crab cakes, anyone?”

Jenny Hartin’s ‘Green Chile and Mac & Cheese’ recipe Ingredients: • 1 pound of any shaped pasta, cooked for 3 minutes less than the al dente instructions, then rinsed and set aside • 6 tablespoons of butter • 6 tablespoons of flour • Salt, pepper to taste • Half a medium onion, diced
• Four roasted green chiles, stems removed and seeds removed, and chopped finely • 1 tablespoon of stone ground mustard • 4 cups of whole milk • One pound of shredded cheddar (or any combination of cheeses to your liking) Melt the butter in a heavy pot on medium heat and add onions to soften, about two minutes.

While that is working, place four cups of whole milk in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for three minutes. Slowly add warmed milk to the flour mixture and whisk to combine — allow to thicken for roughly five minutes — continually stirring. Add the mustard to the mixture and stir.

A folk hero who has endured for 700 years in ballads, books and film, Robin Hood will .come to the PACE Center stage in Parker in a new full-scale musical — with book, music and lyrics written by Gordon McCormack of Denver. Orchestration of “The Legend of Robin Hood” is by Jeremy Kurn, who is musical di”rector for the production. Michelle Wilson is director and choreographer. Performances -started Aug. 7 and will run through Aug. 22 at the PACE Center in Parker. . The play is presented by the new Living Room Productions — the name is based on ethe hundreds of theater people who corralled siblings and playmates into performances in their living rooms, dining rooms, stair landings and back porches. We assume McCormack was among them. His news release -speaks of growing up in a musical household -where someone was usually practicing or listening to music. n Robin Hood stories were McCormack’s favorites, and nine years ago, in a discussion about the various legends that date to the 15th century and have been told in ballads, books and films, his mother asked: “How would you tell it?” Subsequent years of research, workshopping and refining have resulted in the fulldscale musical production to be presented at -PACE Center in Parker. A look at the large cast’s biographies shows an across-the-board pleasure in being part of a new show. Andy Jacobs (Robin Hood) and his wife Jillyn Jacobs (Lady Marian) have toured across the country performing and settled in Denver two years ago. Keegan Flaugh of Littleton, a familiar face at Town Hall Arts Center and in Denver-area productions, will play the role of Sheriff of

Rock Canyon junior enjoys unified team

Soccer player finds fulfillment as part of Special Olympics squad By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Claire Green loved what she was doing on the soccer pitch July 28 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. She was a partner athlete representing the Colorado Rapids in the Special Olympics Unified Sports All-Star soccer match, which was part of the Major League Soccer All-Star events. Green, a junior at Rock Canyon High School who lives in Castle Pines, has played
recreational soccer for the past 10 years with Colorado Real, but her mother suggested something different last summer. She attended a tryout at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park where her soccer skills and personality were evaluated and she was selected as a partner player on the Rapids Special Olympics Unified team. Unified sports brings together athletes with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. “I don’t think there was a specific reason for me playing unified,” said Green. “My mom was the one to tell me about it, and she’s the reason why I got into it. I kept com-
ing back because I loved it so much. “It’s the coolest thing I’ve ever done. It’s real rewarding to play. I love to play soccer, so I get to play a sport that I love, and it is also rewarding to see the kids’ faces when they dribble the ball down the field. It is so fun to have kids also be in love with the sport and get to play.” Green was part of the East Unified All-Star team, which lost 3-2 to the West in a 7-versus-7 small-sided match, but the score was unimportant. “It was really fun,” said Green. “It was a really good experience. Last year I was in this program and got to watch a couple Rapids
games here. It was awesome. You are always in the stands watching, but when you are actually down on the field and you can look around and see all the people watching you, it’s so neat.” Recreational soccer is a passion for Green, who also enjoys skiing, piano and photography. “I just play in fall,” she said. “We just play together and have a really good time. It is more fun. You get to make better friends. I usually play defense but tried out for midfield and now I mainly play mid. I like that because I can run more.”
Swimmer aims for slot on national team Griffin was proud to be on U.S. squad in Pan Am Games By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Carter Griffin recalls the first time he started swimming as a 4-year-old when his family resided in Georgia. “I could barely get across the pool,” he said. He no longer struggles when he jumps into a pool and has gradually climbed up the USA swimming ranks. Griffin, a Chaparral High School graduate
who swam for the Ponderosa co-op team, is now a junior at the University of Missouri and was a silver medalist in the 200 backstroke at the Pan Am Games in Toronto. He swam a long course 1:58.14 in the 200 backstroke and finished second behind American teammate Sean Lehane. Griffin was proud to be an American representative. “I had a great race in the Griffin finals,” said Griffin. “That was the first time I’ve swam for team USA. The best thing about the Pan Am Games was being on Team USA and being part of that atmosphere.
“Every time we walked on the deck we were a presence to be seen. Everyone was looking at the Americans and to be a part of that was huge. We were the top dogs, and it was a lot of fun being seen with those guys. Having USA on the jacket is pretty awesome.” Griffin, who holds the Missouri backstroke record of 1:40.17, won eight meet events as a sophomore last season with five of the victories coming in the 200 backstroke, two in the 100 backstroke and one in the 500 freestyle. As a junior swimming for the Ponderosa team, Griffin won the state Class 5A state championship first-place medals in the 200 and 500 freestyle events. He won his second consecutive 500 freestyle state title as a senior but was the runner-up in the 200 freestyle.
After his Pan Am Games experience, Griffin now has his sights set on making another USA men’s swimming team, and the Olympic trials are scheduled for next year. “Absolutely,” he said. “There are limited opportunities in the U.S. because everyone is so good. That is good because every team we put out on the international scene is going to be awesome. “So it’s going to be tough to get back on another U.S. national team, but that will definitely be a goal of mine. The rest of the world is catching up. We’re not quite as dominant as we’ve been in the past. That makes it that much more fun in international competition.”

‘There are a lot of families we’ve never seen before, and families we haven’t seen in a while.’
Continued from Page 7
The task force is having a food drive to help restock the shelves. Volunteers will collect food and personal care products at Parker grocery stores from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 15. Because of vacations and busy schedules, fewer donations are typically made during the summer months. That’s why the task force is appealing to the public for help. The 10 most-needed items are: pancake
Steve Budnack, Chairman of the Parker Task Force mix, cooking oil, Hamburger Helper, instant oatmeal, pasta sauce, chicken broth, juice bottles, sugar, laundry detergent and paper towels. For a complete list of the most needed items, go to www.parkertask-
force.org/needs.htm. Steve Budnack, chairman of the task force, said the increasing number of clients coming in is “unbelievable.” “There are a lot of families we’ve never
seen before, and families we haven’t seen in a while,” he said, adding that some people are requesting more than the allowed number of visits. The food bank is also in need of items for its Backpack Program, which sends school kids home for the weekend with backpacks full of individual snacks, like granola bars, fruit cups and macaroni and cheese. The Parker Task Force, which is moving into a new facility at 19105 Longs Way this month, provides individuals and families in the communities of Parker, Franktown and Elizabeth with food, limited financial assistance and other support services to help them become self-sufficient.

The winner will receive a 30-second TV commercial promoting their business
that will run on the Big Game. Intuit QuickBooks will cover the cost of developing and producing the commercial as well as the cost of purchasing 30 seconds’ worth of advertising time during the Big Game.

GALLERY OF GAMES & weekly horoscope
SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUG. 3, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don’t gnash those pearly whites because you might have to delay your plans. This could give the Lucky Lamb a better perspective of what’s been done, and what still needs doing. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Scoring financial bull’seyes is easy for the focused Bovine who knows the ins and outs of the marketplace. But even with your success record, caution is still the watchword. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Watch that tendency to over-romanticize a situation that should be given closer scrutiny. Better to be suspicious now and ask for an explanation, or face a sad surprise later.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Bruised self-confidence can make things difficult unless you accept the fact that you have what it takes. Ignore the critics and concentrate on believing in yourself. Good luck. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Congratulations on what you’ve accomplished. But this is no time to curl up for some serious catnapping. Your rivals are probably already working on plans to overtake your lead. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your adventurous side wants to play a more dominant role this week, and you might want to oblige. Try to arrange for some getaway time with that special person. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Taking logical approaches to pesky workplace issues can help resolve even long-standing problems. A shift in policy might catch you by surprise. Be alert to signs of change. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your kindness and compassion are exactly what are needed in dealing with an awkward situation in the early part of the week. Share the weekend fun with family and friends. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Keeping your focus straight and true is a good way of getting your points across. Save any variations for a later time. The musical arts are important this weekend. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Reject advice to cut corners in reaching your goal. Better to take a little more time to do the job as you promised. You’ll gain new respect for your honesty and integrity. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t allow a troublesome situation to grow so big that it will be increasingly difficult to deal with. The sooner you speak up, the sooner everyone will be able to benefit. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Confronting someone who is making a lot of mistakes could be the kindest thing you can do both for that person and for anyone who could be adversely affected by the errors. BORN THIS WEEK: You absolutely glow when you see beautiful things, and everyone around you is warmed by your light. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
