New name, fixes set for schoolhouse Mainstreet Center marks 100th anniversary with rebranding, renovation
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com The $1.1 million restoration of the Mainstreet Center will kick off with a celebration of the building’s 100-year history and a rebranding that recalls Parker’s past. The Mainstreet Center will be renamed The Schoolhouse in honor of the building’s original use as a K-12 school. Parker Consolidated School opened in 1915, and a century later, the community is rallying behind an effort to bring the downtown Parker landmark up to date. The rebranding campaign will be announced by Mayor Mike Waid during an event at noon on Aug. 29 that will in-
clude Parker Arts and the town of Parker, the Parker Area Historical Society, Parker Parks and Recreation, and Douglas County Libraries. Jan Truskolaski, president of the Parker Area Historical Society, said incorporating history into the new name is “beneficial to both the future and the past.” Many small towns have lost their historic buildings, and to have the Mainstreet Center and neighboring Ruth Memorial Chapel still standing is remarkable, she said. The little white chapel marked its 100th birthday in 2014. The rehabilitation of the Mainstreet Center will occur in three or four phases and will be funded by the town of Parker with matching state grants. Parker has received roughly $300,000 in state grants so far, said Elaine Mariner, cultural director Fixes continues on Page 9

Jack Frank outliving retirement savings By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com
J
ack Frank is a prime example of what is happening these days: seniors outliving their retirement savings. In 1970, the average life expectancy in the U.S. was 70.8 years. That number has since climbed to 78.8. While it’s encouraging news that longevity is improving, it does pose a problem, particularly for those who worked hard in the 1950s to earn a dollar that simply doesn’t go as far these days. “I had enough money to last me to 100,” said Frank, a 90-year-old World War II veteran who lives in Parker. According to a survey by the Society of Actuaries Committee on Post Retirement Needs and Risks, nearly 15 percent of those nearing retirement age are unsure whether they have enough savings to last them. Almost 19 percent of respondents said they planned on working at least part-time during their retirement years. Frank has enough money to cover

The trust fund that sustained him for his initial decades of retirement was decimated by losses incurred during the 2008
financial crisis. Frank’s pocketbook was among the millions affected by rampant fraud in the banking and mortgage industries. Veteran continues on Page 9
Safety touted as top priority Board meeting features review of five-year plan By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com The Douglas County School District says safety is its top priority. During a review of the district’s fiveyear plan at its Aug. 18 board meeting, Douglas County Schools addressed the measures the district has taken in recent years to provide more security for students, teachers and staff. “We recognized that is absolutely our number one priority in the district, and we wanted to be transparent about it in as much of a way as we could, given the nature of safety,” Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said. In 2009, school radios couldn’t communicate with first responders, the district had no student tracking or bus accountability, and school buildings were primarily guarded by a simple buzzer system. “In the past, in order to track where our students were on the buses was a very clumsy manual process,” said Thomas Tsai, the school district’s chief operating officer. Today, a GPS tracking Fagen system on buses allows students and vehicles to be located 24/7, and the schools’ Marshall Program partners with local law enforcement to help protect students and staff. The Marshall Program costs the district $674,000. The district also now has the technology to communicate instantly with local first responders. During the safety presentation, the district played a video with Dave and Carly Posey, parents of two students — including then-first-grader Reichen — at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary the day of the tragic shooting in December 2012. The family had planned to move to Parker the next day. “He walked up to Reichen and pointed the gun in Reichen’s face,” said Dave Posey in the video of the shooter. “For whatever reason, didn’t pull the trigger, but turned to Ms. Soto. He shot Ms. Soto and another little girl.” Security continues on Page 9

A glimpse of the people in our community
MIKE CALLIS Loving grandpa, commercial mortgage broker About my background I was born in Atchison, Kansas; moved to Dallas/Fort Worth at 3 years old, attended grades K-4 there. My dad was an aircraft inspector during World War II. My parents moved us to Denver because we had family there and my mom’s parents lived there. I grew up in east Denver (Capital Heights), attended St. Philomena grade school, Cathedral High School and Regis College at night for 11 years to get a degree. During college I was working full time, married with two children, playing in a band on weekends, and attending college classes weekday nights. A typical weekday A typical weekday looks like this: Help get the grandkids fed breakfast, supervise them making their lunches, and drive them to school at 8:50 a.m. Then work arranging commercial loans for as long as needed to build a loan package and submit it for acceptance and process/closing with the lender. Follow up as needed. Run errands, visit old friends, grocery shop during the day and pick up grandkids from school at 4 p.m. Then help with dinner, visit with the rest of the family and after dinner watch TV. About my career I worked for Safeway for 20 years, and helped most every position imaginable from courtesy clerk to Denver division pricing manager. Then I went into real estate. I was a broker, appraiser and land developer. I worked for the city of Denver for a couple years to acquire a mobile home subdivision, which Denver condemned for the runway extension at Stapleton International Airport. Just after we finished that project, the push for DIA started and the runway expansion was cancelled. Then I went to work for the E-470 toll road project and was there off and on for 15 years. I retired and

I ultimately moved back to Parker because of a desire to be closer to our big family. Currently, I am a commercial mortgage broker. What I do for fun Because of my age and health, I can’t do many of the things I used to enjoy. I did a lot of hiking, golf, water skiing and hunting. Now I like to go to the shooting range, have lunch with old friends, shop and just hang out with all my grandkids as they have time. Spring adventure awaits My wife and I attended Rockies spring training, which was fun. The spring and summer weather has prevented much else. We are planning a road trip in the spring with our son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. Our plan is to visit Mesa Verde, Grand Canyon, Phoenix, San Diego (Sea World, Lego Land, etc.), then on to Disneyland, Las Vegas, the Great Salk Lake, then home.

Smokin’ Brew BBQ back for 7th year
Downtown festival Sept. 4-6 moving to PACE Center, town hall
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s not Larry Ruden’s first rodeo, but it is his first barbecue. Ruden, of Lakewood, has served as a master judge at barbecue contests, but has chosen the Smokin’ Brew BBQ in downtown Parker Sept. 4-6 to make his official debut as a competitor. “I figured instead of just voicing my opinion, I’ll throw my hat in the ring,” Ruden said. “We’ll see if my recipes prevail.” Along with three other friends and their wives, they comprise a team called “Why Don’t We Get Drunk & Q,” a playful double-entendre that borrows from the title of a popular Jimmy Buffett song. Ruden worked for a law firm and had the opportunity to choose where he traveled for work. Two questions often determined his destination: Do they have good barbecue? And is Jimmy Buffett playing a concert nearby? Ruden, who describes himself as a “barbecue nut,” will fit right in among the 50-plus competitors vying for the title of champion at the 7th annual Smokin’ Brew BBQ, a three-day, Kansas City Barbeque Society-sanctioned festival and fundraiser organized by the Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club of Parker. The competitors put forward their best ribs, chicken, pork and brisket for a team of judges with incredibly high standards, as Ruden can attest. The pit master, who once owned a popular barbecue joint in Florida, knows he needs to get things just right to have a chance. He points out that
it’s much easier to please himself than the judges. “There are strict time tables, the presentation has to be spot-on — it’s a whole different world,” he said. Consequently, he and the team have done some careful planning, sketching out what needs to be prepared and when. Headed east Smokin’ Brew BBQ officials have done their own planning, and because the festival continues to grow, it has been moved a block to the east, from the Parker Station parking lot to the lots that serve the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center and Parker Town Hall. “The PACE Center move gives us more room, and we’re able to separate the competitors from the vendors this year,” said Cherry Creek Rotary Valley President Kevin Hausmann. Hausmann, whose wife and parents assist with selling tickets, checking IDs and counting vendor tickets, said more vendors were brought in this year to prevent the long lines that formed during peak times last year. Many of the vendors ran out of their best-selling items, too, leaving some consumers disappointed. It’s important to note that the competitors cook strictly for the judges, while the vendors sell to visitors with food tickets that cost $1. The price of each item varies. The friendly-but-serious competition brings barbecue wizards from across the country. Ruden will be going against perennial frontrunners Todd Jilbert and his Littleton-based team, Golden Toad Inc., but also Travis Clark and Clark Crew BBQ, an Oklahoma team that’s vying to become national champion. Ruden doesn’t seem worried though. “The worst we can do is last,” he said. “No one loses anything but their dignity.

John Diak, Parker Town Council member and a member of Cherry Creek Valley Rotary, said Smokin’ Brew is a good alternative to driving to downtown Denver for the Taste of Colorado, which is the same weekend.

Facility in Centennial brings in thousands of visitors By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com TopGolf Centennial is officially open, and it saw more than 30,000 guests in its first week, according to Casey Daniels, director of operations. The location at 10601 East Easter Ave. held its grand opening Aug. 21. The company has 20 other locations in the U.S. With more than 100 associates staffed, and 200-plus working the Saturday following its debut, TopGolf welcomed golfers, who filled the decks on three levels of the 65,000-square-foot venue to tee off. Guests enjoyed the bar and food, and hit from 102 different bays into the 215-yard outfield. The place for all ages and experience levels was booming, and staff expects the new attraction to keep everyone coming, Daniel said.

The new Lone Tree Hooters restaurant opened its doors just in time for football season. Hooters now occupies the former TGI Fridays site on the corner of Yosemite Street and County Line Road. “We just want people to know that we’re here and we’re open,” said general manager Ashley Singer. “Come out for Broncos games and football games. We’ll be open.” According to Singer, the restaurant has hired more than 60 new employees. Hooters is a national chain famous for its chicken wings and “Hooters Girls,” waitresses who are typically young and lightly attired. Hooters is based in Atlanta and includes more than 430 locations in 28 countries. The first Hooters opened in 1983 in Clearwater, Florida. The restaurant is located across County Line Road from Centennial’s Willow Creek subdivision, and it is closer to those homes than to any in Lone Tree. Two petitions opposing the establishment’s moving into the area were circulated in Centennial earlier this year, gathering 198 signatures in an attempt to stop the restaurant from being granted a liquor license. Ultimately, the Lone Tree City Council decided that Hooters met all of the required guidelines for approval. Lone Tree Hooters Inc. has signed a 10-year lease for the site.

will be on display from Aug. 29 to Dec. 31. Denver Mayor Michael Hancock has issued a proclamation to declare Aug. 29 as Redefining Possible Day. The objective of Redefining Possible Day is to encourage people to redefine the way they look at people who are living with a spinal cord injury, brain injury or disabilities. The public is invited to celebrate Redefining Possible Day at The Wildlife Experience at CU South Denver and enjoy free museum entry and attend the free public opening starting at 9:30 a.m. Aug. 29. Car break-ins down The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office recently announced that the number vehicle break-ins has decreased 28 percent. Thieves like to hit vehicles when they know the owners will be gone for a while. Park and trailheads, movie theaters, and masstransit parking lots are prime locations, according to a news release. One preventative option is to invest in a hitch safe or car safe. Other tips to limit crimes of opportunity: • Limit personal items left in your vehicle and keep them out of sight. • Place bags, purses and other valuables in the trunk prior to reaching your destination. •Never leave a convertible top down on an unattended vehicle. • Never leave car windows open or doors unlocked.

Bear cub causes stir in Parker Wildlife officers catch bear, will release him into den By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bear cub seen near Walmart is now in the custody of Colorado Parks & Wildlife. The Parker Police Department received multiple calls about a bear cub in the parking lots of Walmart and Home Depot around 7:30 p.m. Aug. 23. “When officers arrived the cub retreated into Sulphur Gulch but continued to make appearances until (wildlife officers) arrived and the cub disappeared into the gulch,” the police department said on social media. Residents were asked not approach the cub due to the possible presence of the mother. No other sightings were reported.
The cub was next spotted heading east near the PACE Center before being treed behind the UPS Store on the southeast corner of South Parker Road and Mainstreet. Police officers kept the bear treed until wildlife officers arrived. Wildlife officers captured the cub around 11 p.m. “The bear cub has gone to a wildlife rehabilitator and will likely be released into a den next winter,” said Jennifer Churchill, spokeswoman for Colorado Parks & Wildlife. The Parker police said bear sightings in the metro area are not uncommon this time of year. A bear’s voracious appetite causes them to travel further into residential areas to look for new food sources. “This creates a dangerous situation for bears and humans that is avoidable,” the department said.
TIPS TO PREVENT BEAR ENCOUNTERS • Don’t feed bears, and don’t put out food for other wildlife that attracts bears. • Be responsible about trash and bird feeders. • Burn food off barbecue grills and clean them after each use. • Keep all bear-accessible windows and doors closed and locked, including home, garage and vehicle doors. • Don’t leave food, trash, coolers, air fresheners or anything that smells in your vehicle. • Pick fruit before it ripens and clean up fallen fruit.

Park Meadows jeweler robbed Men used sledgehammers to smash display cases By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Four men are in custody after a robbery at Ben Bridge Jewelers in Park Meadows mall Aug. 20. According to the Lone Tree Police Department, at around 7 p.m. four men
entered the store, used sledgehammers to break through several display cases and removed merchandise. The four male suspects left the mall on foot but were apprehended. Police are currently reviewing security footage of the incident to gather additional information and talk with witnesses. The same store was robbed in similar fashion in July 2014. In that incident, three men smashed display cases and stole several high-end
watches from the jewelry store just before closing time July 18. The men left the mall through Dick’s Sporting Goods store, and witnesses saw them leaving the Park Meadows area in a silver Jeep Liberty. According to police, no arrests were ever made in that incident and they are not yet sure if the two robberies are connected. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Lone Tree Police Department Tip Line at 720-509-1160.

From Firehouse to firefighters Restaurant foundation buys manikin to teach life support By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation presented an advanced life support patient simulator to the Elizabeth Fire Protection District on Aug. 19. At a brief ceremony at the Firehouse Subs Restaurant on Twenty Mile Road in Parker, Elizabeth Fire District EMS Coordinator Sean Mackall demonstrated the many features of the manikin simulator to Firehouse Subs franchisee Cory Cummings and his family, along with restaurant employees and guests. “We are pretty excited to have this guy available,” Mackall said. “These are skills we don’t use every day, so it is good to have something for our crews to train on.” The $8,000, interactive manikin can simulate multiple symptoms, allowing EMS crews the hands-on experience typically available in the field without the pressure of an actual emergency. It can be pre-programmed or remotely controlled by an instructor who can respond to questions through a speaker in the unit’s chest. “It’s a little creepy at first when this guy talks to you,” Mackall said. The simulator was purchased through a grant made available by the restaurant chain’s Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation. Each quarter, the foundation
receives nearly 400 requests for equipment grants from first responders around the country and is typically able to award 50 to 70 grants per quarter, which amounts to around $4 million of grants per year. Sixty percent of funding comes from Firehouse customers who drop spare change into donation canisters at restaurants; participate in “Round Up,” which rounds credit card and cash purchases to the nearest dollar; and through the purchases of recycled fivegallon pickle buckets. The remaining 40 percent of funding for grants comes through general donations. According to Kara Gerczynski, Elizabeth fire marshal and public information officer, the $8,000 donated by the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation for the manikin was not something the department would have been able to include in its budget. The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3). The organization provides funding for equipment and education for first responders such as fire departments, police departments and other public-safety organizations. Since its inception in 2005, the foundation has donated more than $200,000 in Colorado and around $14 million throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Firehouse Subs was founded by brothers Chris and Robin Sorensen and is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. The company operates more than 900 restaurants in 43 states.

Couple found dead in home Rick and Donna Hunt owned Parker-based archery business By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media A man and a woman were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide at an Elbert County home in the early morning hours of Aug. 16. Elbert County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a residence at 3900 County Road 174, near Elizabeth, in response to a domestic violence disturbance in progress. When deputies arrived, they entered the house to check the welfare of the occupants. They discovered the bodies of Donna Hunt, 39, and her husband, Rick Hunt, 64. The Elbert County Sheriff’s Office is still investigating the deaths, and other than a brief news release assuring the
public that there was not an active threat in the area, has declined to comment further. Mike Graeff, Elbert County coroner, said that autopsies on both of the Hunts were performed in Colorado Springs in the days following the incident, and their remains were released to family members. He did not expect an official report confirming the cause or manner of death for at least two to three weeks. Rick Hunt founded several businesses and was considered by many to be a pillar of the community. The Hunts were both outdoor enthusiasts and the owners of Full Rut Archery. The Hunts were also avid sponsors of 4-H, and were known to pay generously for livestock at 4-H auctions in support of the work and expense students put into raising their livestock. A memorial service for Rick Hunt was held on Aug. 22 at the Original Hunt Ranch Creek Gazebo on County Road 1721 near Elizabeth. Donna Hunt’s family held a private memorial service.
The last drive-through Household Chemical Roundup for 2015 will be held Saturday, Sept. 12, at 175 Kellog Street, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This event is hosted by the TriCounty Health Department, and offered free-of-charge to Douglas County residents.

Appeals judges say dispute is heading there anyway
Colorado’s battle over who should regulate fracking could be on the fast track to the state Supreme Court. The Colorado Court of Appeals recently asked to bow out of lawsuits over Longmont’s ban on fracking and a five-year moratorium in Fort Collins. The move would allow the Colorado Supreme Court to take the cases immediately, without waiting for the appeals court to hear arguments and make rulings. The higher court hasn’t said if it will take the cases. Local voters approved a ban in Long-
mont in 2012 and a moratorium in Fort Collins in 2013, prompting lawsuits from the Colorado Oil and Gas Association, an industry group. Lower courts overturned the ban and the moratorium, saying regulation is the state’s prerogative. The cities asked the Court of Appeals to restore their restrictions. But the court asked to step aside, saying the issues are significant and will eventually wind up before the state Supreme Court. Longmont officials were reviewing the decision and had no immediate comment. Fort Collins officials didn’t immediately return a call. The Colorado Oil and Gas Association welcomed the development, saying “the illegality of bans and moratorium on hydraulic fracturing can be confirmed once and for all in Colorado.”

Making a big change isn’t a one-day thing So the other day I received an email from local merchants who shared their initial experiences with trying to make a change in their business based on some of the information they had found in my previous columns. They were particularly focused on creating a positive work environment where people felt empowered and respected, and where customers felt appreciated. Their goal was to reduce turnover of staff and increase customer loyalty. They knew that if they really wanted to experience different results, the changes would have to start at the top, meaning the ownership would have to change the way they ran the business. I love reading the emails that you all send in, and as I began reading this particular email I was initially so encouraged by the owners’ intent to truly make a change. That feeling of encouragement was quickly replaced with concern as I continued to read the rest of the story. You see, they took the first step in deciding they wanted to change. They even identified the things they wanted to change and improve. The ownership even started to demonstrate a new attitude fueled by a positive outlook and an even more positive attitude. They shared with me that they even stopped using curse words in the business to try and clean up everyone’s colorful use of language. In the words of the owner, the problem was that, “This whole positive approach
just doesn’t work. We tried it, and it just doesn’t work.” Sadly the rest of the email spoke to the fact that employee turnover was higher than ever and they felt like they were treading water with customers and maybe even losing some of their Michael Norton business. So the final WINNING question in the email was this, “So now that WORDS we know the positive approach doesn’t work, what other bright ideas do you have?” A little snarky, a little sarcastic, but I sensed they really wanted help. As we exchanged emails and had a chance to speak by telephone I was able to find out what had really happened. They tried the positive approach for only one day. That’s right, one day. At the first sign of conflict or interaction with an employee or customer where things went bad, they immediately reverted to their old habits and comfort zone of responding negatively and even a little, or maybe a lot, in a combative way. If we are to experience true change in anything that we do, we cannot give up or give in at the very first challenge that comes our way. We have to be committed to
the change we want to see and experience in our personal and our professional lives. It took those business owners 15 years to build a company and a culture filled with adversity and conflict, and they expected a change to happen in one day. How many people could say the same thing about a relationship they are in where it is based on adversity, negativity and conflict? The same thing would hold true: A quick change without a commitment to change and a commitment to results would end poorly, with both sides giving up. Habits are hard to break, sometimes we are so set in our ways that we become hard to change. And many of us may have tried for a day, or maybe even a week, to make a change and just like our business owners, we gave up or caved in at the first sign of trouble or difficulty. If we want to truly change something in our lives or something about ourselves, we must make a commitment to that change. How about you? Can you look beyond the events and circumstances of today to see a better tomorrow for yourself? Are you able to be committed to the change you want to see and experience? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we can make that level of commitment, it really will be a better than good week.

Clear memories of a song that wasn’t John Ely was wearing braces on April 6, 1963. That’s important, because it’s one of the reasons why what happened that day was the subject of a 31-month long FBI investigation. Ely and his friends went to 411 SW 13th Ave. in Portland, Oregon. (There is a plaque at the site today.) Money exchanged hands. Fifty dollars. Then Ely and his friends recorded a song. “Blue eye, blue eye, oh baby, a wig and a gnome.” What Ely and the Kingsmen did that day was record the most misheard song lyrics in music history. The song was “Louie Louie.” Ely died this year. He was 71 and still living in Oregon. Because of the braces on his teeth, and the studio’s crude recording techniques, it’s impossible to understand what Ely is saying. We all thought that he was saying something about a sailor (he was) and a girl (he was) having sex (he wasn’t). WSAI-AM Cincinnati sent me the lyrics in 1963. It’s actually a harmless song that was written in 1955 by Richard Berry. Berry had been influenced by Chuck Berry’s “Havana Moon.” The lyrics refer to a Jamaican sailor returning home to the island to be reunited with his girlfriend. “Blue eye, blue eye, oh no, a wig and a goat.”
The song eventually spent 16 weeks on the Billboard Top 100, after it was discovered on the East Coast when a Boston DJ featured it on his “Worst Record of the Week” program. Craig Marshall Smith The night before the Kingsmen QUIET recorded the song, DESPERATION they performed a 90-minute version at a local club. The rudimentary production of the record makes it sound like a live recording. Ely said that the microphone was several feet over his head, and that he had to stand on his toes, lean back and shout to be heard over the instruments. When Paul Revere and the Raiders heard the song, they rushed out their own version, and for a while they were charting side by side. (Paul Revere Dick died in 2014.) The Kingsmen recorded the song in one take. It’s two minutes and forty-five seconds long. The band probably went home that night and had no idea what they had just done. There have been other misunderstood songs.
Notably “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.” The story is that Iron Butterfly’s lead singer was drunk or had a hangover, and couldn’t articulate “In the Garden of Eden.” The full-length version is over 17 minutes long. Usually just the shortened version was played, but now and then a station would play all of it. It took Brian Wilson eight months to record and edit “Good Vibrations.” I admire the song, but I don’t get good vibrations from it. It’s overproduced, like “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” I get much more enjoyment out of “Louie Louie.” Maybe it helps because I know the story behind it. Maybe it helps because of the timing. The Beatles were right around the corner. Those were powerful days, listening to Top 40 radio, and trying to figure out who I was. The FBI investigation was a waste of time. It ended without prosecution. There is nothing obscene in the song, but the drummer admitted years later that he said a bleep (at 0:54). He fumbled a drumstick. Times have changed. The FBI would have been all over Nicki Minaj if she had been recording back then. What a mouth on that girl. “Blue eye, blue eye, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, a wig and a comb.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Let’s leave the federal government behind In a recent guest column, Sen. Bennet wrote about fixing the No Child Left Behind Act.” Wouldn’t it be better to abolish the U.S. Department of Education and return all education to state and local governments? The U.S. government was originally one of a small number of limited powers, with education not being one of them. According to Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, Congress has the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes. This didn’t give Congress the power to regulate trade within a state. How-
ever, among other wrong Supreme Court decisions, the court ruled in 1942 that although farmer Roscoe Filburn raised wheat on his farm for his own use, his wheat production affected interstate commerce. This was because by not having to buy wheat on the open interstate market he was affecting interstate commerce. Since this ruling, the federal government has seen fit to stick its nose into all kinds of local affairs that it originally didn’t have any legal constitutional authority to do. One of the original justifications for creating the U.S. Department of Education was that having an educated population affected in-
terstate commerce. The federal government seems to now take the position that most everything can affect interstate commerce. With such an outlook, the federal government doesn’t have any legal limits and can control anything. Let’s follow the original Constitution by paring the federal government down to only its listed powers and returning all other powers to the states and the people where they belong! I’m sick of a federal government that can meddle in almost every aspect of my life. Paul Hatfield Castle Rock

for the town. “The hammers will start flying” on Sept. 8, with the front facade of the building getting a facelift, Mariner said. The main entrance will be restored and windows will be replaced. A mechanical boiler and ceiling pipes will be replaced during the second phase, and the dance studio will be expanded. Phase one will wrap up by December, and the second phase will start immediately after, with completion planned for June. “The key thing to note about the rehabilitation is that (the building) will be taken back to its distinguishing characteristics,” Mariner said. The project is costly, largely because maintenance on some areas has been de-

To top it off, Judee Frank had heart surgery last year, and shortly thereafter, her husband broke his neck in a fall while walking their dog. The ensuing medical bills have put another major dent in the couple’s savings. To hear of a man struggling in the final years of his life, a man who served his country with distinction in perhaps the most important and decisive war in history, was unbearable for his friends.

ferred due to a lack of funding. Expenses include mold removal and outfitting the building to make it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The 200seat theater is also getting modest improvements, and officials want to increase
the amount of flex space for cultural enrichment classes at the old schoolhouse. If not for the state grant and the willingness of the town to invest the money, the Mainstreet fixture might have fallen into
decline. “If the grants didn’t come in, that building might not have been saved,” Truskolaski said. The Parker Area Historical Society is using the 100th anniversary celebration to introduce the community to the Parker Heritage Center, which replaces an old schoolroom museum that was on the second floor. The first-floor heritage center includes exhibits dedicated to Parker’s past as it relates to transportation, dairy and the schoolhouse, respectively. The historical society is eager to show it off to the public. “I think it’s going to bring more people in to see about the history of Parker and, from our perspective, become interested in being involved,” Truskolaski said. The Aug. 29 celebration will include three free family-friendly events, including a car show and the latest installment of Parker Quest.
Association with Frank heard of his situation, they mentioned it to Bob Nobles, the owner of the Takoda Tavern in Parker. Nobles, a staunch supporter of military causes since opening the tavern, immediately arranged a fundraiser for 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 29. Nobles’ military friends readily agreed to step up to help one of their own. “I didn’t serve, but our military — I remind people every day — that’s the reason we get to do what we do,” said Nobles, whose father-in-law was a Navy pilot in World War II. A Marine honor guard will perform at the Takoda Tavern Aug. 29, and car collectors will donate to display their vehicles. Several other military supporters have agreed to be there. The news that people
were suddenly rallying around a man they’d never met was uplifting to Frank. “All my friends, they started all of this for me,” he said incredulously. “I couldn’t believe it in the beginning. Now it’s starting to soak in.” The way his friends figure, it’s the least they could do for someone who sacrificed so much for his nation. Dick Kamerling, a veteran of the Vietnam War, said he and Nobles are always looking out for projects or people to whom they can contribute. Kamerling said the Veterans Affairs offices tend to focus more on veterans returning from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the older veterans have been lost in the shuffle. “We as a nation should be taking care of our service people — men and wom-
en — right until the time that they die, because they put their lives on the line,” Kamerling said. Frank has come a long way from the time he was part of the First Marine Division’s initial push into Okinawa, a crucial and strategic battleground in the Pacific Theater. Incredibly, he still remembers every tiny detail of his days on Guadalcanal as a replacement in D company’s amphibious track tank group. The fundraiser on Aug. 29 promises another deposit in the memory box. Donations can be made at the fundraiser in any amount or deposited into an account set up at Wells Fargo Bank. Checks should be made out to Jack Frank.
PARKER QUEST
A BIT OF HISTORY
Parker Quest, a scavenger-hunt-style event, will begin at 10 a.m. Aug. 29. Families, teams and individuals can enjoy an adventure-filled tour of downtown Parker while exploring the town’s history and heritage. The journey begins at the O’Brien Park gazebo, where participants will receive a passport with clues. Each clue must be solved in order to move on to the next location. To register for Parker Quest, call 303-791-7323, or go to www. douglascountylibraries.org.
Jittery with the usual nervousness that accompanies the first day of school, the 38 students of the Parker Consolidated School had even more reason to be excited as they filed into their brand-new school building. The year was 1915, and anxious pupils had arrived on horses, mules and even horse-drawn school buses to see the new K-12 school that had all the modern luxuries of the time, like water supplied by a well and two outhouses — one for boys and one for girls.

Digital security plays increasing role
By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com In addition to the mental well-being and physical safety of students and teachers, digital security has become a major priority for the Douglas County School District. “It’s 2015, big corporations are hacked on a daily basis, customer information is compromised, and we’re all condition to accept that as the new reality,” said Chief Technology Officer Gautam Sethi. “We believe student data is much more critical than any other customer data.” To that end, all website traffic on the district network, including both wired and wireless access, passes through an enterprise-level content filtering system. The content filter uses both a centralized

Reichen was able to lead nine children out of the classroom and to safety when the gunman’s weapon jammed. Twentysix people were shot and killed that day, including 20 children. “In a way, I wish people could feel what we feel because it would change the culture,” Posey said. The family now has children at Frontier Valley Elementary and Cimarron Middle schools in Parker. Tsai said the Posey family’s presence “really drives our profound sense of urgency.” “Safety has always been a top priority in DCSD, and our schools have been as safe as possible for decades,” said district parent Meg Masten. “With the advancement of security technology, we have implemented changes to maximize safety in our schools that are appropriate and necessary.” Masten said her concerns lie not with whether her children are safe, but how the district pays for that security. “What concerns me as a parent is the funding mechanism for such security measures,” Masten said. “Schools are often denied safety upgrade requests by the district. They are then forced to pay for security guards, doors, cameras and kiosks out of their site budgets. In some cases, the school’s PTO funds are necessary to cover the costs. As a result, schools that

But that figure doesn’t include other mental health workers employed by the school district. Adding psychologists and social workers to the total halves that ratio to 452-to-1. According to Dr. Jason Germain, chief student advocacy officer for the district, Douglas County Schools uses unified best practices and training in risk assessment, including child abuse and neglect reporting and suicide and threat assessments. “We’ve implemented a framework of psychological safety practices where we proactively and intentionally address bullying, suicide prevention and school violence prevention,” Germain said. “We do so in a blended model that engages students, staff and family on a monthly basis.”

All-female volunteer crew works on Englewood Habitat for Humanity project
By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Habitat for Humanity’s work on the lots at 2329 W. Harvard Ave. in Englewood from Aug. 19-23 featured the familiar sounds of power saws and hammers hitting nails. What was different was that all of the volunteers working at the site were women. The project was part of Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver’s first Women Build Week. “This is the fifth time I have volunteered to work on a Habitat project,” Littleton resident Laura Worzella said. “I work for Wells Fargo, a company that is a big supporter of Habitat. They requested volunteers, and I signed up.” Worzella was among 30 volunteers working on the site on Aug. 19. She said swinging a hammer and helping put up walls is a big change from her day-to-day duties at her office.
“I will be sore from working here today, but it is a rewarding soreness,” she said with a smile. “I love the chance to do something to help people and to give back to the communities where we work and play.” A coworker at the site was Castle Rock resident Joan Pratt, who was working on a Habitat project for the first time. “I volunteered for the project through RE/MAX, the company I work for,” she said. “I found being a Habitat volunteer is a lot more demanding that I expected. I figured this was all women so they would give us easy jobs like painting. Boy was I wrong.” She said when she checked in, a Habitat crew member handed her gloves, a tool belt and a hammer, and put her to work. “I am learning a lot about how houses are built, things that are important to me as a Realtor,” she said. “I also have learned lot of new skills, and found out I am pretty good at tasks I have never done before. For example, I found I was pretty good with the router used to cut out doors and windows, so they had me doing that for a while.”

She said it feels good to volunteer for projects that help others. She said she knows how much this project will help an individual because one of the women working beside her will be the tenant in one of the homes under construction. Construction of Habitat for Humanity projects is done by volunteers who must attend a mandatory volunteer orientation before they go to the job site, where they work shoulder-to-shoulder with the prospective homeowners, who are required to put in 250 to 500 hours of work, called “sweat equity,” into construction of the home. Tanya Buckeye was working on the project that includes a new house for her and her two daughters. “I am a single mom with two daughters. We were paying way more rent than I could afford for a house that was falling apart in north Denver,” she said. “A friend suggested I apply to Habitat, and I am so happy that I was picked to live in one of these houses.” She said it is amazing to work on a house she and her girls will soon call home. “Everyone is so nice, and it is great to be here helping to build this house,” she
Habitat for Humanity was established in 1978 by Millard and Linda Fuller to address housing needs worldwide. Houses are built by volunteers and sold at market value; Habitat finances zero-percent interest loans for the owners. Since it was founded, Habitat volunteers have constructed more than 600,000 homes. A Habitat home is completed every 5.5 minutes. More than 600 homes have been completed in and around Denver since Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver was established in 1979. Source: Habitat for Humanity, www. habitat.org said. “I am getting to know a lot about this house, and it feels good to know I have had my hands in the work and have been a part of building these houses.” Robyn Burns, the director of marketing and communications for Habitat of Metro Denver, said about 175 women signed up to take part in Women Build Week work on the Englewood project. “The project will build two duplex

Project prepares food for Haitian orphanage About 600 volunteers package ingredients for nutritious meals By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Representatives of three organizations joined forces at the Rocky Mountain Roller Hockey arena in Lakewood Aug. 22 and,
in about four hours, packaged ingredients for thousands of meals that will be sent to an orphanage for special needs children in Haiti. Activ8Sports, a Christian sports organization, organized the event and enlisted volunteers. Feed the Starving Children provided all the materials and ingredients for the events, while Rocky Mountain Roller Hockey & Sports Center donated the space
to assemble the packages. “We felt this would be a good project for us, and we worked with Justin BaanHofman who had organized a mobile pack project last year in cooperation with the Feed the Starving Children organization out of Minneapolis,” said Scott Russomono, president of Activ8Sports. “We put out the word, they advertised on K-Love Christian radio station, and we have about 600 volunteers here today pack the meals.” The Highlands Ranch resident said many of the Aug. 22 volunteers were individuals with special needs. Russomono said that is important because the meals they helped pack are going to an orphanage in Haiti for children with special needs. He said he considered the day a success as about 600 volunteers from all over the metro area packed a total of 132,192 meals that will be sent to the Haitian orphanage. Kelly Raab and her two children, Josie, 10 and Calvin, 13, were among the volunteers preparing the plastic bags filled with ingredients for healthy meals. “I signed up through my company and asked my children to join me,” the Littleton resident said. “I think this is an awesome project. It is well planned, well organized and will help feed a lot of kids.” Josie and Calvin both said they thought this was a special project and liked the fact they were helping provide food for kids who don’t even have enough to eat. The volunteers attended a short briefing
and then moved out onto the floor of the roller hockey rink to staff one of 32 packing stations. It took just a few minutes for all volunteers to fit right into the well-organized process. Colton Vigil rolled his wheelchair up to the edge of a table and staffed the machine that heat-sealed the plastic bags. “I go to Red Rocks Church, and when they said they were looking for volunteers for this project, I signed up,” the Lakewood man said. “I did one of these events before, but I wanted to be a part of this one because the food is going to help children with special needs.” Feed the Starving Children works with local organizers around the country to hold mobile packing events, providing the ingredients that are mixed together in plastic bags. When the ingredients in one plastic bag are cooked in hot water, they yield about six one-cup servings of a hot, cereal-like blend. On Aug. 22, there were four ingredients blended together in the package. There were small scoops of vitamin meal and mixed dehydrated potatoes and carrots. Next a cup of soy meal and a cup of white rice were added to the mixture. The mixture was placed in a plastic bag weighing between 380 and 400 grams. The bags were packed into boxes, then wrapped in plastic and stacked on pallets for shipment to Haiti.

Attention prevention
Smartphones play havoc with common courtesy By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Karen Hardy’s family has a no-phonesduring-dinner rule. Lorrie Grove’s family has old-fashioned game nights in which they unplug and spend time playing board games together. In Ginger Delgado’s home, phones are put away in the car to allow time for conversation. According to a 2015 study by the Pew Research Center, 64 percent of American adults now own a smartphone, up from 35 percent in the spring of 2011. With the use of technology and mobile devices now ubiquitous in American society, many struggle to find the balance of appropriate etiquette when it comes to technology use. The question faced by many, particularly parents, educators and business owners: Should steps be taken to ensure more defined boundaries of use? “Technology has all but destroyed (interpersonal communication),” said Anthonette Klinkerman, chief etiquette officer of Courtesy Bootcamp, her Castle Pines operation that teaches “a crash course in courtesy.” “On the positive side, it’s beneficial to see, let’s say, a Facebook post on some event in a person’s life, and when you see him or her in person mention you saw it and ask follow-up questions,” Klinkerman said. “During my work with the city of Golden, the chief of police had mentioned his concerns over new cadets and their lack of social skills. People use their phones as shields, especially teenagers. If you watch carefully, they will even hold it out in front of them to block any actual interaction.” Lost in translation At restaurants, on trains and buses, and even in cars, people now spend hours per day with their heads down staring at the screens on their devices. According to the Pew Research Center, 93 percent of 18- to 29-year-old smartphone owners use their phones to avoid boredom, and 47 percent of young smartphone owners use their phones to avoid interacting with the people around them — roughly three times the proportion of

‘This person made time in their day to have lunch with or go out on a date with you, not your phone. Put it away.’ Anthonette Klinkerman, Chief etiquette officer of Courtesy Bootcamp older smartphone owners who say they do so. It’s now common to see two people sitting feet away from each other both staring into their personal devices rather than interacting. Is that rude or the new normal? According to Klinkerman, a live person should always take precedence over the digital world. “This person made time in their day to have lunch with or go out on a date with you, not your phone. Put it away. And never leave it sitting on the surface of the table,” Klinkerman said. “That little device on a tabletop has become, to me, a very visual sign of disrespect because we have been trained like Pavlov’s dogs to respond to the screen illuminating.” According to Pew, 67 percent of people use their phones to share pictures, videos or commentary about events happening in their community, with 35 percent of smartphone owners saying they do so frequently. Tech in the workplace Mobile devices have become a necessity in work and business for many. From emails and texts to phone calls and shared documents, mobile devices have become vital tools of the business world. But how much is too much when it comes to connectivity? “We certainly expect a certain level of etiquette with regard to technology and
mobile devices,” said Jeff Cox, CEO of Digital Globe Services. “Our workforce is global and rarely is in the same place for very long. That means we are a mobiledependent organization. That means conversations across multiple time zones and languages at all hours of the day. “With that said, when we are together in a room, virtually or otherwise, we expect people to participate and be in the moment. That means phones off, no texting or laptops, and adding value to the discussion.” Klinkerman agreed that even in a work environment where people are using their devices for business, human beings deserve the respect of attention. “All these people took time out of their day, whether by choice or not, to sit in a room with other humans in order to have human feedback,” Klinkerman said. “If the phone is how you do business, I assure you that there is very little of such importance that it cannot wait for 30 minutes while one concentrates on a meeting.” She said that if a meeting is planned for an extended period of time, a five-minute tech break is advisable to give people a chance to check their devices. According to a 2014 study from Kansas State University that focused on 72 fulltime workers from various industries, employees only spend an average of 22 minutes out of an eight-hour workday playing on their smartphones. Researchers also
found that employees who take smartphone breaks are happier at the end of the workday. Family time Mobile devices tend to stick with people throughout the day, whether at work, in the car, or even around the dinner table. Many families now have scheduled unplugged time. “We have a basket that all electronics and remotes to gaming and TV go into every night,” said Melanie Smith. According to Pew, 46 percent of smartphone owners say their device is something “they couldn’t live without.” “My daughter just started middle school last week at Castle Rock Middle School, and the teachers talked about unplugging at Back to School night,” said Delgado. “So we just started some new rules to limit the amount of time she spends on the iPad playing games. I allow her to play on the iPad only after her homework is done and only for a half hour at a time. Then she has a choice to either go outside, read a book or practice her dancing.” Richelle McKim and her husband decided to buy their daughter a cell phone when she was 12 because they didn’t have a landline. “We gave her the phone with conditions,” McKim said. “We use an app called Teen Safe on her phone. I can see everything she does on her phone — every text, email, Google search. Even her Snapchats we can see.” In addition, they can automatically shut down her phone at 9:30 at night and not turn it on again until 7:30 in the morning. Klinkerman said that in her opinion, toddlers under 2 shouldn’t to be exposed to electronic devices, but phones have become what the TV was back in the 1970s — the electronic babysitter. “This generation of digital natives is so lacking in the ‘soft skills’ or ‘people skills’ that businesses desperately want employees to have that it keeps me very busy. People have to unplug in order to practice and develop those skills with real humans,” Klinkerman said. “There is a reason they call it paying attention — this is the strongest currency you have: your full, undivided attention.”

Weisberg found the job opening in the Yellow Pages and called it “a match made in heaven.” But why does want to retire now? “I’m 73 and realized that being on my feet for at least 90 minutes, photographing honorees and committee chairs and members during reception/ silent auction hours, then having dinner with up to 1,400 people in cold ballrooms, then listening to the nonprofit event program for another several hours was getting harder for me and for (husband) Dave as well,” Weisberg said via email. She added, “This was initially supposed to be a part-time position. I would have loved it going back to that, but at this age, it’s time to move on.”

Music and Art Festival is crowd-pleaser Vendors, bands provide good times in Elizabeth By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media Main Street Elizabeth was grooving, bopping and shaking from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Aug. 22 for the town’s annual Music and Art Festival. On the Main Street Stage, the band Our Generation kicked off eight hours of music performed by nine bands, with tunes for a variety of tastes ranging from classic rock to old-time R&B. According to Rachel Hodgson, Elizabeth’s community development director, all of the bands featured at this year’s Music and Art Festival were from Colorado, including a few from Elbert County. “It’s a really local event, which is cool,” said Hodgson, who anticipated a turnout equal to that of last year’s festival. “With so many people coming and going, it’s hard to count, but we are estimating over 2,500.” For most of the day, shoppers strolled Main Street, browsing the many tents and tables displaying photos, paintings and metal fabrications. In addition to craft and art displays, music and food, this year’s event featured several new attractions. The new additions included a beer garden, sponsored by Pikes Peak Brewing, where shoppers could take a break and cool off from the summer sunshine. Also new this year, a chalk art contest open to artists of all ages and a classic car show in which residents took the opportunity to display vintage wheels. Another newcomer to the
Power Flushers, one of nine bands at the festival, entertains the crowd. Photos by Rick Gustafson Music and Art Festival was RD Texas Style BBQ and Soul Food. Robert and Sylvia Daniel of Aurora said they have been serving up their award-winning ribs and chicken at festivals and catered events for over eight years. Robert’s seven-hour smoked ribs and barbeque chicken placed 55th out of a field of 750 competitors at the Pit Masters Barbeque Competition. For those who thought barbecue was a little heavy on their soul, vendors at the farmer’s market offered organic produce, all-natural honey, homemade kettle corn and freshly cut flowers. Bands appearing throughout the day on the Main Street Stage included Our Generation, Power Flushers, Mitch Goudy & Diana Upton-Hill, Six Foot Joe and the Red Hot Rhinos, Sylvia Murray, Survive the Planet, Chance, Fireweed and Sibling Rivalry 3.

Foo Fighters, Royal Blood deliver Two-night stand keeps crowds enthralled at Fiddler’s Green By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com There were no signs of disappointment as the capacity crowd filed out of Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre following a two-night stand by the Foo Fighters. Nearly 36,000 fans packed into the venue for each of a pair of high-energy shows Aug. 16 and 17. With a successful first night in the bag, the Foo Fighters came out of the gate like a Kentucky thoroughbred on night two, playing hits “All My Life,” “Times Likes These,” “The Pretender” and “Learn to Fly” within the first five songs.

Front man Dave Grohl — ever the crowd favorite with his affable personality and knack for impromptu banter — narrated a video clip on the big screen of the header he took off the stage during a show in Sweden earlier this summer. Grohl broke his leg in the fall, but finished the show as Johan the Swedish medic set his leg on stage. After his injury, Grohl requested and received a throne, complete with a sliding track, guitar accents and laser beams. It was on this elaborate pedestal that he sat for both nights. Grohl, the former drummer for Nirvana, introduced each member of the band, including always-smiling guitarist Pat Smear and drummer Taylor Hawkins, whose frantic but controlled flailing behind the kit hints at Animal from “The Muppet Show.” There were points in which the Aug.

17 show seemed to drag. The band took a break while Grohl — accompanied by guitarist Chris Shifflin on the concertina — played the acoustic song “Skin & Bones.” The subdued moment caused some audience members to shuffle out for a bathroom break or a drink. A few onlookers appeared bored during drawn-out washes of fuzz and feedback. But the vibe was overwhelmingly positive, with the audience standing for the Foos’ entire two-hour set. Die-hards belted every lyric, and even in the farthest reaches of the lawn seats, people were still into it. Grohl’s affection for fans was palpable, and the band’s effortless ability to re-create moments in time through song has never been stronger.

The duo make up Royal Blood, a U.K. product that marries the angst-ridden grunge of the early 1990s with the bluesbased rock of their forefathers and fellow countrymen, Led Zeppelin. With punchy timing and effects pedals that make Kerr’s bass sound like a screaming electric guitar, it didn’t take long for those filing into their seats to take notice. The two members of Royal Blood sound like four, and with catchy melodies, heartsurgeon precision, anticipatory build-ups and undeniable chemistry (see the band’s debut single, “Out of the Black,” for an example), these guys will be a welcome guest on stages worldwide for years to come.

Taste of Colorado features food, music, more Four-day event returns to Denver Civic Center
IF YOU GO
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Many years ago, Denver business owners invented the Festival of Mountain and Plain, with a focus on local history, to lure folks to the downtown area. It has been revived for today’s outdoor-loving, food- and entertainment-loving Coloradans as the 32nd annual A Taste of Colorado, held over the Labor Day weekend, Sept. 4-7. The Friday-through-Monday event invites people of all ages to four days of festivities at the Denver Civic Center to experience diverse cultural traditions, food, music and arts. Admission is free. The Main Stage will feature Morris Day and The Time at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 5. Day played a role in development of the Twin Cities dance and club sound of the 1980s as a founding member of Prince’s band, The Time. In 1985, he launched his solo debut, then rejoined The Time in 1988. He tours regularly. Main Stage will also present Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers at 5 p.m. Monday. Hornsby has collaborated with Bob Dylan; Crosby, Stills and Nash; and Stevie Nicks — and played over 100 shows with The Grateful Dead. The rock band Kansas will perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday on the Main Stage, and Seattle-based singer, songwriter and spoken word artist Mary Lambert will perform at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
A Taste of Colorado will fill Civic Center in downtown Denver Sept. 4 to 7. Hours: Sept. 4, 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Sept. 5 and 6, 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Sept. 7, 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Admission is free. For information: ATasteofColorado.com, 303-295-6330.
Other stages include the KBCO World Class Rock Stage, KYGO Country Stage and Colorado Heritage Stage. The Kidz Stage and KidZone will feature magic, puppets, clowns, play equipment and free hands-on craft activities. There will be carnival rides Sept. 5-7 for kids and adults. More than 50 Colorado restaurants and food establishments will offer a variety of small portions/tapas to full meals. The Fine Dining Area will host some of Denver’s finest restaurants, and opportunities to try out international treats at booths should intrigue adventurous eaters: Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Thai, Greek, Italian, Mexican and more… Fine Art in the Park will display original works in many mediums and featured artists will demonstrate Navajo weaving and culture, spinning, rug braiding, lace crocheting, felting and blacksmithing. The Marketplace will also include home products and services such as window installation, kitchen remodeling, cookware, basement refinishing and salons and spas.
Morris Day and The Time will appear on the Main Stage at Taste of Colorado at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 5. The Time was Prince’s band, and Day was a founding member. Courtesy photo

Reality gets major overhaul at gallery 12 interns go through program at museum located in Englewood
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Twelve young artists were led through the “Design and Build” process this summer at the Museum of Outdoor Arts and created a highly imaginative exhibit called “Altered Reality,” which opened Aug. 8 and runs through Sept. 19 in the MOA’s indoor gallery at the Englewood Civic Center. The exhibit includes individual pieces that line the entry and a collection of collaborative installations. The Design and Build program began in 1991 with high school students and has since moved to college students and some recent graduates. Interns spend eight intense weeks learning the processes for creating public art via teamwork. They use problem-solving related to a particular site, budgeting and planning, proposal writing, maquette making, construction and installation. They receive a stipend and, in some cases, college credit. “Optical illusions are transfixed and the mind is played upon in ‘Altered Reality.’ The exhibition twists everyday perceptions, disrupts expectations and slants idealism. After all, what really is reality?” reads a group statement. In addition to student work, master teacher Cory Gilstrap, who specializes in soft sculpture and puppet making, has created, with Kamela Preswaela, a remarkable installation called “Ya-Te-Veo.” Located

IF YOU GO “Altered Reality” runs until Sept. 19 at the Museum of Outdoor Art’s indoor gallery on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. Admission is free. 303806-0444, moaonline.org. in the back gallery, it is a garden greenhouse on steroids, inhabited by brightly colored, bug-eyed, slightly sinister soft sculpture critters. At the entry is a window box that is growing upright knife blades in neat rows. One can’t help but laugh. On arrival, the viewer is greeted by a dreamy three-dimensional bank of clouds in a diorama. Beyond that, one sees an organic assortment of
white “sea blooms” that crawl from floor to ceiling. A humorous upsidedown ladder, paintbrush, rags and paint can speak to a home-repair project gone astray. “Hard Kandy” is a large panel with a bright bouquet constructed from hundreds of candies. Beyond that is a group of life-sized, intent-looking human figures in action. The installation is called “Immersion.” The 2015 interns are Aziza Ahmadi, Kelsey Dickinson, Bailey Dunning, Austin Howlett, Maggi Johnson, Luke C.F. Lemon, Georges Loewenguth, Lyndie Mae, Daniela Marin, Karel Moyer and Jesse Nickell. This is an exhibit children will really enjoy and a special scavenger hunt awaits them.

He arrives home to announce that he’s getting married. And furthermore, he has invited girlfriend Anne (Valerie Igoe) and her conservative parents to dinner tomorrow. Farce takes over as the son redecorates and asks that his actual mother be there instead of Albin, who has played that role all his life. The butler/maid, in assorted costumes, goes over the edge. Interspersed are dance numbers, skillfully choreographed for the drag performers by Matthew Peters, and several strong musical numbers: “We Are What We Are,” “Song on the Sand,” “Look Over There,” for example. Voices are strong and distinctive

Walking into the Aurora Fox Theatre, one knows something festive is about to happen because the curtain on the stage is shimmery silver and looks like it’s ready to dance. “La Cage aux Folles” is a musical based on a French film, a musical film and a non-musical second movie (“Birdcage”). In its present form, it won six Tony awards when it opened in 1983 and even more Tonys for revivals in New York and London. In other words, it’s just a charming piece when well-presented — which it is in Ignite Theatre’s production at the Aurora Fox through Sept. 6. Veteran director Bernie Cardell, who recently passed the 100-show mark as actor and director, is adept at bringing out the humor and the sentiment in the well-written script. The eight-piece band, directed by Blake Nawa’a, had a good score, and the balance between instruments and voices was right. Lighting worked well and costumes and wigs were at times outrageous — but that was deliberate — and they were well-fitted and accessorized. Readers probably are familiar with the story of Georges (Jim Hitzke) and Albin “Zaza” (John White), a gay couple, together

Guild provides support for opera
Anniversary event will be held in Lakewood
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com In 1965, Helen Burns called friends together and founded what is now known as the Denver Lyric Opera Guild. (There was at that time a Denver Lyric Opera.) The objective from the start was “to support aspiring young opera singers and to further the education of the guild’s members in appreciation and knowledge of opera,” according to Marie Belew Wheatley, the guild’s vice president for public relations. Helen Burns’ daughter, Marcia Hoehler, is still a guild member today. She spoke to the group recently about her mother and the founding of the organization. Four early officers were Mrs. Harry Whitaker, Mrs. T. Mitchell Burns (Helen), Mrs. Herman Seep and Mrs. D.C. Reineman, who were pictured in the 1966 society pages of the Rocky Mountain News in the first year of operation. President for the next year is Richard Brononski. He and his board hope to expand the membership throughout the metro area. There are currently about 250 members, who range from Arvada to Douglas County, Aurora to Lakewood. A special anniversary event is planned on Sept. 12 at Lakewood Country Club: a gala with cocktails, dinner and opera entertainment. (Shuttle from the parking lot.) Guests and new members are welcome. Tickets cost $90 each. Reservation deadline, Sept. 4. Checks to Jean Krusemark, 4845 S. Joplin St., Aurora, CO 80015-1715. The first Opera on Tuesday luncheon will be on Oct. 6 at Denver Country Club, with program at 11 a.m. and lunch at

noon. Register at DenverLyricOperaGuild.org by Oct. 1. Again, guests and new members are welcome. The organization’s popular Opera on Tuesday luncheons began early in the guild’s history. Held at area country clubs and event venues, each one presents an opera-oriented program with one or more artists, expanding members’ horizons. The April Opera on Tuesday is a favorite, with the contest winners performing and talking about how they will use their awards. (Auditioning in New York City, for example — or furthering their education.) While the Denver Lyric Opera Company no longer exists, the organization kept the name and continues its good work. Originally, the guild assisted with the annual Metropolitan Opera competition, but then started to host its own yearly Competition for Colorado Singers as membership grew. DLOG’s Competition started in 1985 when Greenwood Village resident Rosemary Priester was president. The competition was recommended by four women, including Shirley Smith of Cherry Hills Village, who served two terms as president. There were 38 participants in the Spring 2015 competition, held at Bethany Lutheran Church. Six winners were announced, plus four honorable mentions and four Certificates of Merit. Competitors were from University of Colorado, University of Denver, Colorado State University, Opera Colorado’s Young Artists program, Central City Opera and Opera Theatre of the Rockies (Colorado Springs). DLOG also gives grants to colleges and universities for vocal scholarships and to apprentice programs in Denver, Greeley, Central City, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs. Awards have grown from a total of $5,150 in 1985 to $31,500 on 2015. The combined total of grants and competition awards over the years is well over $1 million.

In the high school ranks, as in the NFL and NCAA, footballs are required to be inflated between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch. Photo illustration
No pressure to change protocol High school officials give little weight to NFL deflation controversy
TEAMS AT A GLANCE
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Chaparral Wolverines Coach - Rod Dobbs
In the Colorado high school ranks, officials will continue to judge the inflation level of footballs by feel. George Demetriou, Colorado High School Activities Association rules interpreter, doesn’t believe there will be any extra awareness paid to the issue in the wake of the NFL’s Deflategate controversy. Tom Brady and the New England Patriots allegedly played with underinflated footballs during last season’s AFC championship game, leading to an investigation. “The preference for the softer ball for the kicking game has been around since the beginning of football and that will continue, but I don’t think that we’ll see anything different because of what happened with the Patriots,” Demetriou said. Demetriou explained that each team presents two balls for use, and game officials squeeze the balls to feel if they are underinflated or overinflated. Some officials might have a pressure gauge, but officials reportedly can get a feel for the footballs that reveals just as much as a gauge. The National Federation of High School Associations, the NCAA and NFL have the same standard of footballs being inflated between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch. Bert Borgmann, CHSAA assistant commissioner, hasn’t seen any controversies over the inflation of footballs in Colorado. “The NFHS protocol is similar to the NFL’s, and balls are checked prior to each game,” he said. “In the time I have been here, I have never had an issue with it, and Harry (Waterman, an assistant commissioner who oversees football) said he has not experienced an issue in his eight years over football. If there is an issue, the officials will simply pull the ball out of the game.” Jaron Cohen, Ponderosa’s coach, revealed that only once has he had to inflate a football. “Referees check two game balls, squeeze them and say either let air out, put some in or you’re fine,” said Cohen. “It’s not very regulated, just a squeeze test, and maybe once in my career I’ve been told to put some air in.” Douglas County coach Gene Hill said he’s had a couple footballs rejected by game officials. “We’ve had a couple balls kicked out for being underinflated,” said Hill. “We don’t do it on purpose. It just happens. My son is the ball boy, and they’ll come up to him and say, ‘Hey, tell your coach fill the balls up.’” “We have an equipment guy that does it. They don’t check the air pressure itself, they just squeeze it, and if they feel like it is too low they will give it back to us to fill it up.” Legacy coach Wayne Voorhees said he never even thought about the inflation of footballs until Deflategate surfaced. “We always make sure they are pretty firm because I believe it is easier to throw, but I have never
2014 Record - 3-7 (2-3) League - 5A Continental - South Players to Watch - Paul Vainuku, Sr., DB; Dawson Cranmer, Sr., DL (40 tackles, five sacks); Austin Spindler, Sr., WR. 2015 Outlook - Inexperience hovers over the Wolverines as they try to shake off a three-win season. Vainuku and Cranmer will be counted on to help overcome the loss of standout linebacker Patrick Moody, who moved to Florida after leading the team with 162 tackles and nine sacks as a sophomore last season. Ponderosa Mustangs Coach - Jaron Cohen 2014 Record - 4A Plains League - 5-6 (4-1) Players to Watch - Nick Wilson, Sr., QB (1,987 total yards, 17 TDs; Mikey Thomas, Jr., DB; Mitchell Mealhow, Sr., DL; Matt Brady, Sr., TE/DE; Jake Grimm, Sr., OL; Tony Verdicchio, Sr., DL; Garrett Dunn, Jr., LB; Drew Behrends, Jr. LB; Quinton Ostdahl, Soph., LB; Ryder Ghidotti, Sr., CB; Elliott Douglas, Sr., CB; Cole Hall, Jr., RB.
Cherry Creek quarterback Joe Caplis, shown during a playoff game last season, likes a firm football. “You can spin the ball easier and throw the ball harder, especially at altitude,” he said. File photo actually looked at the pressure listed on the ball or even measured as we have inflated them,” he said. “I doubt anyone at the high school level would even worry about it. As always, like a (Bill) Belichick, someone that wants to utilize the rules will always try and test them.” Quarterbacks are divided in the preference of footballs inflated to the maximum or the minimum. But most receivers favor softer footballs. “If it’s softer, it is easier to catch,” said Douglas County wide receiver Ryan Sayre. Cherry Creek quarterback Joe Caplis and Arapahoe’s Pete Mitchell desire a harder ball, but Valor Christian’s Dylan McCaffrey and Marc Muma of Legend like softer balls. “You can spin the ball easier and throw the ball harder, especially at altitude,” said Caplis. “When you are playing in Colorado you have this wind that comes through in the fall, and if there is less air in the ball, the wind is just going to knock the ball down. The receivers get a little mad, but at least the ball is getting to them.” Muma favors minimum inflation. “I feel I can grip it a little better than a harder ball,” said Muma. “It’s easier to catch if the ball is softer. If it’s hard and we’re throwing it hard, it’s just going to bounce off their hands and maybe a softer ball gives them some cushion.”
2015 Outlook - The Mustangs are looking to defend the league title and return to the state playoffs with a physical and experienced offensive line leading the way. The team also has weapons at the skilled positions and the team speed on defense is impressive. There are 14 returning starters but the team is still young. Legend Titans Coach - Robert Doyle 2014 Record - 3-7 (0-5) League - 5A Continental - South Players to Watch - Marc Muma, Jr., QB (1,401 passing yards); Brayden Freeman, Sr, RB; Terry Trudgian, Sr., LB (86 tackles); Broden Baker, Sr., OL. 2015 Outlook — Muma returns at quarterback to provide leadership for the offense. “We have an experienced offense returning,” said Doyle. “The defense is young but hungry. We will be leaning on the leadership of our veteran linemen.” Lutheran Lions Coach - Blair Hubbard 2014 Record - 10-1 (7-0) League - 3A Colorado 7 Players to Watch - Nick Ciccio, Sr., RB/DB; Nathan Holdridge, Sr., RB/LB; Jacob Dack, Jr., OL/DL; Mike McBride, Sr., TE. 2015 Outlook — The 2014 season suddenly ended when the Lions suffered their only loss of the season in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs to Palisade. Only two starters on offense and two on defense return but a strong group of lettermen are back which makes Lutheran a threat to compete for the Colorado 7 title. “Getting many players up to varsity speed quickly will be an immediate goal,” said Hubbard. “If the Lions can to this we will have a chance at another trip to the 3A playoffs.”

Women’s Pro Challenge rolls to first finish
Race could mark biggest crowd of any female cycling event in U.S. history
By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com The fifth annual USA Pro Challenge will always be remembered as the year women pro cyclists first took part in the state’s biggest professional bike race. “This race alone has made my comeback worth it,” said Kristin Armstrong, overall winner of the inaugural Women’s USA Pro Challenge. “This is historical. I’m so happy and proud to be part of this moment. I’m happy to do whatever I can do to help grow this sport.” Making the stage and jersey wins even sweeter for the riders, this year’s prize purse was identical to that of the traditionally much-betterpaid men. Stage 1 of the women’s race took place Aug. 21, and was an 8.5-mile time trial in Breckenridge. Armstrong won the stage with a 1.2-second lead over Team Twenty16 teammate Allie Dragoo. The next day, the women raced 58 miles from Loveland to Fort Collins, and Stage 2 was won by Tayler Wiles of DNA Cycling. Stage 3 on Aug. 23 was won by Coryn Rivera of UnitedHealthcare Professional. She was awarded the green jersey for the tour’s best sprinter. The women raced a 1.5-mile criterium loop in downtown Golden. The official starting line was at 13th Street and Washington Avenue, and started off going up a hill described as “just amazing, that extra little oomph,” by Strava Most Courageous Rider jersey winner Amanda Miller of Visit Dallas. The women also endured two sharp turns on the course. “If you weren’t entertained by that, then you shouldn’t be coming to bike races,” said Sean Petty,
LEARN TO ROCK
Women’s USA Pro Challenge race director. The women put in a great three days of racing, Petty said, adding that seeing the turnout of excited fans supporting the inaugural women’s race brought tears to his eyes. Dan Dwyer, co-chairman of Golden’s organizing committee for the USA Pro Challenge, said he knew Golden would deliver an enthusiastic crowd. “According to race organizers,” he said, “the final women’s stage in Golden was quite possibly the largest attended women’s race in U.S. cycling history.” It was amazing to watch the riders, said Susan Mroz of Denver, who came to race day in Golden to support the Amy D. Foundation team. “Hopefully this is the start for more visibility in the racing circuit,” Mroz said. Naked Women’s Racing teammates Melissa Langdon of Arvada and Natalia Ptas of Denver came to cheer on a teammate competing in the USA Pro Challenge, Kimberley Turner. “Women’s racing is getting bigger every year,” Ptas said. “It’s awesome that they’re promoting women’s racing.” At a Stage 3 press conference, USA Pro Challenge Queen of the Mountain jersey winner Mara Abbott of Amy D. Foundation said Aug. 21-23 would count as one of the most amazing weekends of her life. “I’m so grateful to have been able to compete this week, but if we want this to become something more, then it has to keep going,” Abbott said. She encourages everyone who enjoyed the race to continue supporting a women’s race in the USA Pro Challenge. “Colorado and my family and my friends are the things closest to my heart, and to be able to actually compete here as a part of that is unbelievable,” Abbott said.
USA Pro Challenge winner and Olympic gold medalist Kristin Armstrong, in the yellow jersey, leads the pack of racers through downtown Golden on Aug. 23. Photos by Tim McClanahan USA Pro Challenge women’s race winners take to the podium to receive awards after the third and final day of the inaugural competition. The jersey winners include Kristin Armstrong in yellow for the overall win; Coryn Rivera in the green jersey for winning the sprint competition; Mara Abbott in red for the Queen of the Mountains award as the best climber; Abigail Mickey in the aqua jersey for being the best young rider; and Amanda Miller in the orange jersey as the most courageous rider.

USA Pro Challenge men’s racers take a corner in downtown Golden as they race Stage 7 on Aug. 23.
Golden finish to USA Pro Challenge Dennis and Team BMC cap successful campaign By Glenn Wallace gwallace@coloradocommunitymedia.com In the final day of competition for the state’s biggest bike race, Rohan Dennis held on to his overall lead and helped show just how dominant he and the rest of Team BMC had been. After seven days of racing hundreds of miles over some of the highest terrain the field of 158 world-class cyclists have ever seen, Dennis of Australia still had enough energy left to break off the front of the pack and try for a sprint win in Denver.
The move electrified the crowd in Golden’s Parfet Park, where spectators could watch the Pro Challenge finale on a jumbo screen. Dennis was quickly caught up by the main pack as it surged for the line. At the very end, it was between John Murphy of Team UnitedHealthcare, and Boulder’s Taylor Phinney (BMC) to see who could cross the line first, and Murphy had the edge. “The run in, it was always going to be a fast and furious one,” Kiel Reijen (USA) of UnitedHealthcare said after the race. “It was great that John was able to finish it off. We knew he was the fastest guy today.” The day’s race started in Golden, looping around North Table Mountain,
before making the iconic climb up Lookout Mountain’s switchbacks, then plunging down to the plains,through Wheat Ridge and Lakewood, before ending in a series of laps around a downtown circuit, and a sprint finish. Even before the slopes of Lookout, a breakaway had formed, eventually getting as much as 1:45 ahead of the main group. Dennis, riding for the dominant Team BMC, looked comfortable, sitting near the front of the peloton for much of the day, even as the last two breakaway riders survived until caught on the final circuit lap. Brent Bookwalter (BMC) and Rob Britton (Team Smartstop) rounded out the overall leaders podium for the men.
BMC was clearly the team of the tour. In addition to the one, two finish, the team also added stage wins by Bookwalter, and Phinney as well as the team title — all this despite not bringing the 2014 USA Pro Challenge defending champion Tejay van Garderen to the competition. The green sprint jersey went to Reijen of UnitedHealthcare. Dennis was also given the King of the Mountains jersey. Tao Geoghegan Hart from the Axeon squad was the best finishing rider under 23, earning him the Best Young Rider jersey. The most aggressive rider award went to Javier Megias of Team Novo Nordisk.
Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUG. 24, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A relaxed mood early in the week could give way to high-temperature disputes. The Aries Lamb should resist being pulled into heated quarrels that could really singe your wool. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Satisfy that practical obligation first, then you can feel free to indulge in your creative endeavors. Also, check for hidden or overlooked areas where repairs might be long overdue. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Home is still the Twins’ major focus this week. But outside matters begin to take on added importance, especially those involving possible career moves. Stay alert for signs of change. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A travel plan might need to undergo some considerable adjustment because of unexpected changes. Keep an open mind and let the facts guide you on how you want to handle this. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Playing cat and mouse with a matter you don’t really want to tackle wastes time, energy and, most important, an opportunity. Ask someone with experience to help you get started. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A shift in policy might not please you, but before you put up a “no go” wall of resistance, examine the circumstances. You might be quite pleasantly surprised by what you find. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Yesterday’s critiques about your methods might have already evolved into today’s praise for your achievements. Good for you. Now go on and continue to build on your credibility. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An occasional temperamental flare-up might occur as you continue to help get things back to normal. Stay with it. You should soon get some idea of where to take things next. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A negative reaction to what you believe was a well-deserved request might mean that you need to reconsider your position and make changes accordingly.
Super Crossword & Sudoku Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) There’s always room for someone new at the Sea Goat’s table. And the someone new this week could bring a message you’ve been waiting a long time to hear. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A pileon of personal matters this week might seem too overwhelming to deal with. But handling them on a one-by-one basis could have you out from under it by the weekend. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A friend might need your good advice regarding a matter. Be supportive. But unless you can be absolutely sure you have all the facts, be careful about any suggestions you might be asked to offer. BORN THIS WEEK: Few things make you happier than bringing people together and helping to forge new friendships. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

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. However, the filing of a complaint in and of itself will not stop the foreclosure process. First Publication: 8/27/2015 Last Publication: 9/24/2015 Publisher: Douglas County News Press
