State Patrol honors Cmdr. Schmitt’s work for ‘Move Over’ law Colorado State Patrol Maj. Steve Garcia, commander of the state’s motorvehicle traffic division, attended the regular meeting of the Greenwood Village Council on June 19 to honor one of the city’s finest police officers, Cmdr. Eric Schmitt, who will be leaving the city in July for the Branson, Mo. police department. Here are portions of his commendation letter honoring Schmitt:
In the last 20 months, the members of the patrol along with the citizens of the State of Colorado have experienced the loss of three State Troopers. They are: Taylor Thyfault May 23, 2015; Jaimie Jursevics Nov. 23, 2015; and Cody Donahue Nov. 15, 2016. During our time of grief and mourning, one of the first phone calls Chief Scott Hernandez and I received was from Chief Jackson, who immediately wanted to know how he could help. Although, an agency as large
as the Colorado State Patrol has the manpower during times of crisis, the gesture and leadership in the coming days in planning three funerals and hosting hundreds of officers from across the nation who are coming to pay their respects was sorely needed as your department truly stepped up to assist us. I am here today to talk about Cmdr. Schmitt in particular. As you are aware, Trooper Cody Donahue was killed in November due to a driver that failed to follow the state law to move over for e m e rge n c y vehicles. We are still in the judicial process of this case, so I will spare you the details, but it brought to our attention
that the need to educate the public about the need to move over for emergency vehicles is critical to the safety of all first-responders. A senseless death that could be prevented is as easy as moving over. After the funeral for Trooper Donahue, Cmdr. Schmitt contacted us and asked permission to utilize the call number for Trooper Donahue, which is 1C3. This call number was retired in honor of Trooper Donahue, and Cmdr. Schmitt asked if he could use the number to name a law enforcement team allegiance to help educate the public about the need to move over for emergency vehicles, and ultimately Cmdr. Schmitt wanted to save lives. The lives of troopers, police officers, sheriff deputies, firefighters, EMS personnel, CDOT, public works and tow-truck drivers. Through his leadership, his perseverance and his in-
novative ideas, his 1C3 operations as of today have generated: 3,829 stops; 2,219 moveover violations; 56 arrests for DUIs, warrants, driving under restraint, habitual T.O. One eluded arrest, and two stolen cars recovered. In law enforcement, we talk a lot about saving lives. Although this is a difficult thing to quantify, I will tell you with 100 percent certainty, through the leadership of Cmdr. Schmitt, he and law enforcement across Colorado have saved lives thru the 1C3 operations. Included in the enforcement efforts was a public outreach by Velma Donahue and the Donahue Family. Two weeks ago, Gov. Hickenlooper signed into law an amendment to the current statue of the move-over law that increased the penalties for not moving over for Continued on Page 2

if the vehicle was hit. The driver fled the scene and was last seen in Englewood heading northbound on Santa Fe Drive at Hampden Avenue when police called off a high-speed chase. The officer, whose name was not released, was taken to a hospital with minor injuries. The investigation into the identity of the driver was ongoing at press time. She was described as Hispanic with dyed blond hair, 25 to 30 years old, with a large build. The car was an older dark-blue sedan, possibly the Honda Accord pictured, with heavy body damage.

ers into high-performance athletes is greater than ever. The Glendale Men’s U20 Elite Development Program is poised to meet the next generation of performance rugby development in the United States. The program serves to fill a key gap in the current pathway to highperformance American rugby and gives young athletes the skills needed to compete at the highest levels, both on and off the field. Glendale has cemented an official partnership with Eagle Impact Rugby, an invitation only yearround rugby academy, to create an official pipeline for the high-performance high school rugby athletes that participate in EIRA at multiple levels, as well as athletes participating in and graduating from the High School All-American program. EIRA has a presence in nine major markets across America including: Southern California, New York, North Carolina, MidWest, Mid-Atlantic, Northwest, Texas, Indiana and Florida. All of these markets draw from their sur-
rounding regions providing scouting coverage for much of America. The sport of rugby and the skills learned while pursuing excellence on the rugby pitch provide powerful lessons and tools for achieving greatness in education and work outside of the grass, the stands and the tackle bags. The EDP provides an excellent opportunity for young rugby players to pursue the next step of their careers, while preparing for the next step of their lives outside of sport. In order to give athletes the foundation needed to succeed outside of the U20 program, Glendale strives to help them connect to and sustain opportunities in higher education and employment. The Men’s U20 program combines technical, tactical, physical, psychological, nutritional along with holistic skills and development to create well-rounded athletes coached by a staff of experienced and knowledgeable coaches, administration and medical professionals.

All play on the way to work Bike to Work Day reinvents the wheel
Colorado’s Bike to Work Day on June 28 was the nation’s second largest, with several thousand bicyclists of all ages and abilities participating. The day saw some participants riding to work for the first time, as well as avid cyclists who bike it on a daily basis, and those who just pulled their wheels out of storage from last year. Greenwood Village, Centennial and other communities hosted bike stations that offered free breakfast, and technical support and first aid. Photos by Stefan Krusze

Erma Bombeck remembered She wasn’t a politician, never held public office, but offered advice from her heart that seemed to heal our souls and tickle our funny bones. I heard Erma speak many years ago before her untimely death. She addressed a newspaper audience at our annual newspaper convention at the stately Brown Palace. She confessed her addiction to smoking that likely ended her life before her time.
If I had my life to live over
BY ERMA BOMBECK I would have invited friends over to dinner, even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded. I would have eaten the popcorn in the good living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace. I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth. I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. I would have burned the pink candle sculptured like a rose before
Barbwire Bob We have celebrated July 4, 2017 and salute our freedoms. “Freedom is not free,” and that is certainly true today. Not here, and not anyplace else in the world. It is a time to enjoy summer, barbecues, work on the yard and pet the dogs and cats. City Councils are taking a midsummer break. Maybe this gives the city staffs a slight breathing pause. In observing city staffs at all venues,
it melted in storage. I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains. I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life. I would have gone to bed when I was sick, instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I wasn’t there for the day. I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn’t show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime. Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I’d have cherished every moment realizing that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle. When my kids kissed impetuously, I would never have said, “Later, now go get washed up for dinner.” There would have been more “I love you’s” and more “I’m sorry’s,” but mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute—look at it and really see it—live it. And never give it back!

Why run away to join the circus? I’m a journalist

LEFT UNEDITED
You never know what’s going to happen in the newspaper business. BY PETER One moment, you watch your boss JONES cavort with a clown. The next, you’re getting shot with bodily fluids by a tattooed man with horns. The next, you stumble on some odd news that strikes your odder imagination. Then you have lunch. Last month, my son and I attended the opening night of Cirque du Soleil’s Luzia, which continues through this weekend in the big top outside the Pepsi Center. The highlight—in addition to swirling women in Cyr wheels and a contortionist whose positioning defied anatomy—was watching Bob Sweeney, our publisher, play catch with a clown. I am not sure if that ball ever actually changed hands, but it was fun watching their playful eye contact as Bob stood in the aisle and excitedly held his palms in a catcher’s formation as the teasing mime played Bob like a cat with a new toy. Later in June, I got to be the audience non-volunteer at the hands—and mouth, throat and nose—of Enigma at the Historic Downtown Littleton Block Party. Enigma is the star attraction in the party’s Creepy Freaky Alley, a venue for extreme entertainment, a “freak show,” to hear organizer Greg Reinke tell it. Enigma is a back-alley circus performer so committed to his craft and persona that he has covered what appears to be his entire body—including face, head, arms and legs—in a tattoo of puzzle pieces. Two horns appear to have been surgically attached to his shaven head. His act culminates when he eats an apple from a moving chainsaw. At one point, Enigma blew up a certain personal product and managed to pull it through every hole in his head in ways an ear, nose and throat doctor could

not explain. As I ventured to take a photo from a few yards away, an unknown substance flew across the alley and hit me on my raised arm before ricocheting onto the nearby brick wall. A reporter’s work is never done. More recently, a news item from Middletown, Ohio caught my eye. The City Council there is mulling a proposed three-strikes policy when it comes to heroin overdoses. As I often cover local city government, I am always curious what cities across the country are up to. Under this proposed ordinance, 911 operators would simply hang up on “frequent flyers” who have already claimed their quota of two rescues and accompanying two doses of naloxone, an expensive medication that blocks the effects of opioids.
Imagine applying the tenets of baseball to other first-response policies. Heart attacks of bad lifestyle choice. Errant car crashes. Stupid pratfalls. If three strikes are enough for America’s pastime, why should emergency response be any different? Be thankful the folks in Middletown are not football fans. Lastly, did you realize this newspaper is the product of a floating calendar? Usually, we produce the paper on Mondays and Tuesdays, but holiday weekends always move things back. Last week before July 4, Tom McTighe, our production manager, walked into the newsroom to confirm that Friday is Monday. Yes, Tom. Friday is Monday. Yes is no. Less is more. I am the walrus.

Studies have also correlated industry-sponsored meals with increased prescribing of branded medication to Medicare patients. Which means banning pharma reps from buying your doctor a meal would yield significant savings to the healthcare system. Or would it? As a country, we spend $3 trillion per year on healthcare. Prescription drugs account for 9 percent of that cost, compared to physician and hospital care at more than 50 percent. Would banning pharma reps from occasionally bringing pizza to my office for lunch really bend the cost curve? Other mechanisms are already in place to curtail prescriptiondrug spending. High copays and deductibles limit prescription drug spending. Many patients simply cannot afford expensive drugs and instead receive less expensive generics.

are considered “costly.” Why are only physicians under scrutiny? Lobbyists spend more than $3 billion per year on Congress and federal agencies attempting to influence laws and government contracts, which potentially cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. Members of Congress aren’t simply bought lunch, but instead may be given an all-expenses paid African safari for themselves, their staff and their family. Physician morale is declining due to constantly changing payment and care delivery models, from Obamacare to all the cost-cutting measures and new regulations. Criticizing doctors who accept a free lunch or occasional restaurant dinner, along with a chance to interact with colleagues and hopefully learn something to benefit their patients, may be an easy way to save a few dollars. But it won’t really bring down the cost of medical care given the far more powerful cost savings mechanism in place. Instead, it would further beat down an already frustrated and demoralized profession. P

To top that disgusting tweet, he then posted on July 2—during a weekend when most Americans were celebrating this great country—a tweet inciting violence against journalists. Anyone who is not appalled by this or any of his other inflammatory tweets is as complicit as his “handlers” who enable him by boosting his already inflated ego. The best thing that can happen at this point is to use these ugly incidents as a teaching lesson to the millennial generation that 1.) Lying is wrong. 2) Bullying is not the answer to any situation, and 3.) Human beings should not be treated so disrespectfully (online or in person).

Revving it up at the Heritage Eagle Bend car show
Car collectors, new and old, gathered June 17 at the Heritage Eagle Bend Clubhouse parking lot for the venue’s annual car show. Alaine Lessing was awarded a first-place trophy for her 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Chevrolet pickup. Tom Hare was another winner with his 1929 Ford roadster. Finishing in second place in the 50-year-or-over category was Stan Reynolds and his 1950 Jaguar Saloon. This British classic design is a far cry from the 1950 American Mercury winner.
Winning car owners proudly display their award plaques. From left, David Higgins, 2015 Corvette Stingray; Ron Brown, 2017 Mustang GT/CS California Special; Larry Frederick, 1950 Mercury coupe; Doug Evans, 1962 Corvette; Stan Reynolds, 1950 Jaguar MKS; and Alaine Lessing, 1951 Chevy 3100 pickup.

2017 Toyota Land Cruiser is large in many ways BY H. THROTTLE AUTO COLUMNIST The new 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser is a large vehicle that can pull a large boat or mobile home with ease, having a 381 horsepower V8 engine and working with an eight-speed transmission. This drive works with a variable drive Torsen locking limited slip differential for all terrain, road and weather conditions. The Cruiser has a kinetic dynamic suspension system that keeps the large vehicle stable while supporting up to eight passengers.
The seats are plush, attractive brown leather, and there is 10-way adjustable front seating. The Cruiser is loaded with navigation and Bluetooth features, along with the entire Toyota “Sense” system. The vehicle lets the driver know when he crosses a line,
and if you cross too many, the screen tells you to take a “rest break.” The large horsepower, size of the vehicle, variable complex transmission and elaborate electronics elevate the price of this vehicle to $$86,722 with very few extra options. A large vehicle with many options and a large price. Too large, in my opinion, compared to other fourwheel SUVs. Along with the price, the
fuel economy is the lowest of any recent model tested, at a factory-rated 13 mpg in city driving, 18 on the open road, for 15 mpg average. A parking valet was quite intrigued with the Land Cruiser and asked about the fuel economy. When I told him about 15 mph, he remarked, “Well, if you can afford one of these, the fuel price doesn’t matter.” I guess that is one way of looking at it, but I find that most people who can afford luxury items are very frugal and know how to handle their money. The radio and sound sys-
tem are the best ever tested and the sound was loud and clear. Easy to adjust from the multiple choices of FM, AM and HD satellite. Driving along E-470, I found that the wind really rocked this high tall vehicle—lots of wind drag, making the drive challenging. For a vehicle that is made to encounter all types of weather, this wind drift was disturbing. Overall, the Land Cruiser is “old school,” a large thirsty V8, lacking a powertail gate, with a hefty price tag for a lot of options. Made in Aichi, Japan, this vehicle has not been safetyrated at this time.

Lt. Col. Gerald Louis dies, Distinguished Flying Cross hero Obituary as reprinted from The Denver Post
Lt. Col. Jerry Louis, a resident of Heritage Eagle Bend Golf Club in Arapahoe County, died June 6 at the age of 75. He was born Feb. 25, 1942 in Brooklyn, N.Y., the son of Conrad and Freda Louis. After graduating from Brooklyn College in 1963 with a degree in economics, he was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in the Air Force ROTC. He served his country in the Air Force from July 1963 until June 1989, retiring as at lieutenant colonel. Louis served in Vietnam 1966-67, flying 97 combat missions as an air-rescue helicopter pilot. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for Valor, the Bronze Star medal, the Air Medal and the Cross of Gallantry. Among other service honors, he received four meritorious-service medals and the Air Force Commendation medal. Louis graduated from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas in 1976 and received his master’s degree Distinguished Flying Cross recipient in education, guidance and counseling. Lt. Col. Jerry Louis His love of cars had him working at John Elway Toyota1997- 2002, where he won numerous salesman-of-the-month awards and salesman of the year. His greatest loves were his family, the Denver Broncos and the Colorado Rockies. Always a people person, he touched many lives in his 75 years. He is survived by Barbara, his wife of 52 years; his daughter Cyndi Paonessa and husband Dan of White Lake, Mich., and his beloved grandson Jake, his stepdaughter Jody Graves and husband Dave and children Daniel and Paul, of Berthoud, stepson Timothy Wheatley and wife Dorothy and their children, Josh, Melissa and Shea in Citrus Heights, Calif., stepson Jim Wheatley and his wife Heidi and their children Erica and Michael, who live in Red Oak, Texas. A memorial service was held at Fairmount Cemetery June 14. He had asked that in lieu of flowers that donations be made to Veteran charities. Publisher’s note: This obituary in the Denver Post caught my attention as an ROTC graduate from CSU. ROTC graduates and members of the National Guard have played a major role in recent wars, with a vast mobilization of the National Guard in World War ll. ROTC graduates have been fighting and dying in combat in past decades with increasing active-duty service since the Vietnam War. Lt. Col. Louis was a military hero and had a full chest of medals, citations and honors. With all of these honors he was satisfied to retire from the military and enter into the routine life of a civilian. He and wife Barbara were married at Randolph Air Force Base in Texas in 1965. She was divorced and they both worked for the Air Force on the military base. He died at an early age and the reason for his death wasn’t printed in the obituary. It was from all of the Agent Orange that he and his HH-43B helicopter crew inhaled and were covered with during those 97 combat missions. Jerry started having internal stomach challenges about nine years ago, a symptom of Agent Orange. His health declined at a rapid rate and Barbara had to care for Jerry at home for nine years as he suffered from his severe ailments. -Bob Sweeney
telligence school at Lowry Air Center in Colorado was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross last week for his heroism in rescuing eight critically wounded United States Marines who were engaged in battle in the Republic of Vietnam. Capt. Gerald Louis, the rescue crew commander, along with his co-pilot and crew chief were ferrying a helicopter from Tan Son Nhut Air Base to DaNang when they became involved in the rescue operation. They were flying along the coast near Chu Lai when they radioed the tower to report their position. About 10 miles past Chu Lai, the tower contacted the chopper requesting them to assist in evacuating the wounded marines. “I accepted, but didn’t know that there was a battle going on,” said Captain Louis. “We received hits when we arrived at the pick-up point. We had to hover just above the dense tree line with our 200-ft hoist complexly extended,” continued the captain. Normally the hoist can lift three at a time but because of the men being wounded, they had to be lifted individually. This became time-consuming, giving the enemy more time to score some hits. The whole operation took about 40 minutes. The chopper took most of the hits in the first 20 minutes while waiting for United States Marine Corps fighters to arrive and suppress the ground fire. Captain Louis took the wounded back to Chu Lai where ambulances were standing by. The chopper was then refueled and continued on its original mission. The 3rd Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Group, Captain Louis parent unit, is acclaimed to be the most decorated Air Force unit in Vietnam.” That was just one mission; he performed 96 other combat missions and lived to return home. He was a victim of Agent Orange. He gave great honor to his unit and his country.
Barbara Louis at home with her dogs and an Air Force scrapbook of memories
That’s not the end of the story of his life
The government did recognize the Agent Orange symptoms and awarded Jerry a full disability medical retirement. He deserved those full Colonel wings, but according to Barbara he never served in the Pentagon in Washington D.C. He was a combat pilot, not a desk jockey. The Distinguished Flying Cross is the Air Force equivalent to the Army Medal of Honor, awarded since the Civil War. Here’s the story of Jerry’s heroic deed that earned him this high honor from the Lowry Airman, January 30, 1970. “An Air Force helicopter rescue pilot, now stationed at the InAir Force ROTC pilot Jerry Louis with Barbara and their children during the Vietnam War

marker and black out the last four digits of your SSN, and carry that instead in case of an emergency. If your Medicare card does happen to get lost or stolen, you can replace it by calling Social Security at 800-772-1213 or contact your local Social Security office. You can also request a card online at SSA. gov/MyAccount. Your card will arrive in the mail in about 30 days. If your Medicare card that contains your SSN gets lost or stolen, you’ll need to watch out for Medicare fraud. You can do this by checking your quarterly Medicare summary notices for services or supplies you did not receive. You can also check your Medicare claims early online at MyMedicare. gov (you’ll need to create an account first), or by calling Medicare at 800-633-4227. If you spot anything suspicious or wrong, call the Inspector General’s fraud hotline at 800447-8477. Also, watch for other signs of identity theft. For example, if someone uses your Social Security number to obtain credit, loans, telephone accounts or other goods and services, report it immediately to the Federal Trade Commission at IdentityTheft.gov (or 877-438-4338).

At a transitional installation dinner at Glenmoor Country Club, businessman and Cherry Hills Villager Abbas Rajabi was honored as incoming Rotary International District 5450 governor. He is a member of Rotary Club of Denver Southeast and his large family surrounded him with support. As district governor, he is the official representative from 5450, the most distinguished in the Rotary world and the only district with membership growth. District governors are leaders inspired to serve humanity through Rotary. The common goal of “service above self” brings out the best in every member, according to the leaders. Rajabi credited immediate past District Gov. Bill Downes with creating a valuable infrastructure. “It’s been an honor and privilege to serve you,” Downes said. “I will be a proud Rotarian every day of my life.” Seven district governors were in attendance. This “zone” has 16 districts. This district has 62 clubs. Sandy Mortensen from Rotary Club of Summit County is district governor-elect. District Gov. Rajabi gave an acceptance speech of love for family, life and Rotary. He challenged members of his district to bring
one guest per month to weekly meetings. “I have dreams. I have been a dreamer all my life. If I don’t shoot for the stars, I may not land on the moon,” he said. He thanked the audience for the gift of their time and expressed his gratefulness for that time. “My gift back to you is my love, my time and my gratitude. I am forever grateful for your honoring me,” he said.

Tackling the mudroom with custom cabinetry SUBMITTED BY BKC KITCHEN AND BATH
The mudroom is commonly overlooked when it comes to home renovation, especially because it’s an area that tends to be transitional. For most families, the mudroom is the place where shoes slip off, backpacks are dropped, sports equipment is discarded, and snow boots pile up during cold weather. What better place to tackle organization, especially with some custom cabinets?
Decide to Organize
There is a lot to consider when designing a functional mudroom; from coat
racks to shoe storage, you will want to decide how you intend to use the space. For instance, it might be helpful to incorporate a mix of open shelves and cabinetry with pull-out features, or dedicate a tall cabinet for hanging clothing. Whatever you decide, make the focal point organization to utilize the space in the best way possible.
for your daily necessities. You’ll want to consider custom sizes for some of your cabinets, especially for specific items like skis, athletic equipment and outdoor gear that needs a storage spot inside. The mudroom is a great place for these items, especially if you want to maximize the utility of a narrow space or corner.

Gas grill safety tips
Mudrooms are a great place for seasonal storage. Take advantage of high ceilings by using top cabinets for items that you do not use year-round. This frees up space in the bottom cabinets or shelves

great for hanging leashes, storing toys and tucking away a pet bed. Adding a paneled refrigerator for kitchen overflow items or to house grab-and-go beverages is another design option that will turn your mudroom into a fully functional space. Getting your mudroom organized is a great way to declutter your home and create usable space for your family’s activities. For help with designing your mudroom, contact us.
When space allows, incorporating a bench for shoe changing or a charging station for plugging in portable devices will bring more function to the area. If you have a furry family member, this spot is also
Backyard barbecues are a warm weather tradition. While some brave men and women grill year-round, many reserve their outdoor cooking to those times of year when the weather fully cooperates. The laid-back vibes of summer and early fall can make it easy for grillmasters to overlook safety when cooking outside. But grilling requires that cooks prioritize safety. While both charcoal and gas grills can cause fires, the National Fire Protection Association says gas grills contributed to four out of five gas grill fires. The NFPA also notes that many of those gas grill-related fires can be traced to leaks or breaks in the hoses. The following are a handful of ways cooks can
safeguard themselves, their families, their grills, and their homes against leaks or breaks in their gas grill hoses.
Inspect hoses at the start of each grilling season. Leaks, breaks or cracks in the hoses may occur when moving grills into the garage or shed for the winter. So it’s a good idea to inspect the hoses at the start of each season before using

the grill for the first time each year. Employ soap and water if you suspect but cannot find any leaks. Travelers Insurance recommends that men and women who suspect a leak is present but cannot find one apply a light solution of soap and water to the hose. If there is a leak, bubbles will appear. Do not turn on the gas if the grill lid is closed. If the gas is turned on while the lid is closed, gas can build up inside and potentially ignite, causing the lid to blow off. So men and women should always make sure the lids of their grills are open before turning on the gas. Stop grilling if you smell gas and see no flame. If there is no flame, but you still smell gas, turn off the tank and grill immediately. Some leaks may cease, at which time men and women can take their tanks to be serviced. If the leak persists, contact the local fire department. Turn off the grill and cease cooking if you smell gas while food is on the grill. The odor of gas while cooking is another telltale sign of a leak, even if there is a flame and food appears to be cooking. Contact the local fire department if such a situation presents itself. Close the valve after cooking. Always make sure the valve is tightly closed after cooking. Store tanks away from the house. Propane tanks should always be stored away from the house. Near the end of each grilling season, homeowners may want to use what’s left of the gas in their propane tanks so they don’t have to store tanks over the winter. Grilling with gas can make for delicious meals, but men and women must prioritize safety around their gas grills to prevent fires and other accidents.

Coffman named legislator of the year Award from SIA U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman was awarded the Security Industry Associations 2017 Legislator of the Year Award for on his work and support during the 115th Congress on issues critical to the security industry in the United States. SIA recognized Coffman’s leadership and support on H.R. 1636, the ‘School Safety Act’, which is aimed at preventing school violence and improving emergency response measures. “I’m so honored to receive this award in recognition of my leadership in working to make our schools a safer place for our children” said Coffman. Jake Parker, SIA director of Government Relations added “Rep. Mike Coffman has continued to demonstrate extraordinary leadership in
fighting for school safety funding, a top priority for SIA in recent years. SIA will continue to serve as a resource for these outstanding leaders as we continue to work together to maintain and increase the safety and security of our country.” The School Safety Act would help pay for improved school security initiatives, such as training for staff and students, deterrents like lighting and locks and improved police notification and response technologies.

Volkswagen Golf Turbo GTI-S is outstanding BY H. THROTTLE AUTO COLUMNIST It is very exciting to receive a test vehicle and find that it is really outstanding and exceptional. Such is the Volkswagen Golf GTI S four-door sedan. This “Tornado Red” is well named because the four-cylinder turbocharged engine can make this modern day “bug” really fly. VW engineers have done a masterful job of combining the turbo power with a six-speed DSG Tiptronic transmission. The transmission is little different with a selection of S that moves the turbo into full usage. The S range also allows the driver the flexibility to drive in any of six gear ranges or simply remain in the D for the regular drive mode. The range of the transmission assisted by steering wheel shifters makes this GTI a real sports car with power and gear ratios to really roll down the road and climb those mountain highways. The 4-cylinder engine also provides a savvy 32 mpg on the highway and 24 around the packed city streets. No gear shifting with the nifty automatic variable transmission. The performance is outstanding and boosted by “Servotronic electrical-mechanical power steering.” The steering is precise and supported by the suspension system and electronic stability control. The Golf handles like a Porsche and even has red vented front disk brakes, just like the expensive sports cars. It was a hot day of 96 degrees heading up Floyd Hill in the passing lane. Car oil pressure was running 235 degrees. That was normal and the air conditioning was set on high and working perfectly. The turbo option was hardly needed and Drive mode easily handled the climbing road. Had to be careful to not exceed the speed limit because this Golf was heading for a driven hole in one. The highway patrol is pretty thick these
days and there are more unmarked cars and motorcycle officers on the roads. No tickets in this bright red Michigan-licensed hotrod. Along with performance, VW has designed a vehicle that has achieved an overall five-star safety rating. They have thrown in high-performance summer tires at no charge. The interior is adequate with tartan cloth seats and comfortable bucket seats. XM Radio available by subscription, so forced to listen to Mandy on KOA radio. Thinking ahead to winter, the GTO has heated front seats and outside mirrors, along with heated window wiper nozzles. Halogen headlights, LED fog lights and daytime running lights. Coming back down through that windy gap on I-70, there were reported 30-mile winds blowing across the Front Range mountains and trash items blowing across the highway. To this GTI’s credit, the wind hardly budged the car, almost no wind drafting. The design, extra steering and sports suspension all worked to reduce any wind drift. Back home, I pulled out the pricing information to see just how much this excellent car costs. This was the best surprise of the day with a shocking suggested retails price of $26,695. This is the bargainbasement sports vehicle of the century. Price also has excellent 50,000mile warranty. I would forgo the bright red paint, but what a fun car for young and old. Made in Puebla, Mexico, the fine craftsmen have made an economic masterpiece. The price may go up if new tax legislation puts a penalty on imported vehicles. This GTI is a real bargain.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Top five Hollywood pool parties BY LETICIA LOPEZ, REMIND MAGAZINE Although pool parties in movies are scripted, that doesn’t stop us from dreaming about donning our own glamorous bathing suits, dancing to summer tunes with our crushes and friends, or simply relaxing on a float. It’s no wonder some of Hollywood’s iconic pool scenes have become our favorites. Jump into the summer fun with our Top 5 pool party scenes. Cannonball!
It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)
Remember those high school dances held weeks before you were out for the summer? George (James Stewart) and Mary (Donna Reed) see each other at a high school dance inside the gymnasium. While the teenagers are kicking and flapping in the Charleston contest, no one expected the floor to open up and reveal the gym’s swimming pool. George and Mary receive applause and “wows” for their dance moves, which continue even after they’ve accidentally fallen into the pool. Eventually other students and a judge also jump into the splashing fun.
Pajama Party (1964)
This is one of the wildest non-beachy hangouts for summer icon Annette Funicello. What’s supposed to be a slumber party with her girlfriends turns into a dance by the pool interrupted by boys, Eric Von Zipper and his motorcycle gang, and the teenage Martian Go Go. The scene is reminiscent of the dances and chaos happening in the Beach Party films, but bikinis are switched for baby doll PJs, and Funicello gets thrown into the pool!
rns with SCAnDAL retu
Million Dollar Mermaid (1952)
No pool party list would be complete without the swimmer and actress Esther Williams! Considered one of Williams’ best movie performances, the first water scene features a giant pool onstage, glitzy swimwear and a live orchestra, which makes it a wet spectacle you don’t want to miss! The second is an underwater scene including water ballet ladies and a large clamshell that Williams effortlessly swims and twirls into.
The Graduate (1967)
Party for one, anyone? Benjamin (Dustin Hoffman) spends time afloat in the pool and underwater for various iconic scenes in this film. They are the protagonist’s escape from the future and the uncertainty of what lies ahead, and a break from being an adult outside of the water. Even when there’s a pool party at his house for his birthday, Benjamin sinks to the bottom in complete scuba gear and avoids what lies above the water.
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986)
After a day in Chicago, Ferris (Matthew Broderick), Sloane (Mia Sara) and Cameron (Alan Ruck) hit a backyard pool. While Ferris and Sloane relax in the Jacuzzi as the yellow boom box plays, Cameron is worried about the trouble he’ll get into when his father finds out his Ferrari was borrowed without permission. Cameron throws himself to the bottom of the pool until Ferris jumps in to get him out. Pretending to be drowned, Cameron pranks his friends and says the classic phrase “Ferris Bueller, you’re my hero.” This teenage joke on buddies results in a diving, throwing and splashing pool party!

CHEERS&JEERS Cheers to a Genius idea
Guaranteeing that Season 2 won’t be a blue period for their stellar scripted bioseries, Nat Geo will be following up their brilliant dissection of Albert Einstein— and an Emmy-worthy showcase for star Geoffrey Rush—with a portrait of Pablo Picasso.
Jeers to BBC America for the Luther delay
It’s been nearly 18 months since the last season of Idris Elba’s awesome crime thriller, and now it’s gonna take almost as long for the next round to hit the air. That is way too long to wait for our Idris fix, folks.
Jeers to Ramona Singer for wearing out her welcome
Years after her crazy stopped being funny, the Pinot-soaked Real Housewives of New York City pot-stirrer lit into Bethenny with an incoherent, nasty attack that was more toxic than anything these women have shot into their foreheads.
Cheers to Laura Dern for a cool hat trick
Between her riotously dim Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt guest spot, her Emmycaliber work on Big Little Lies and cult-worthy turn on Twin Peaks, Dern has given us three of the best reasons to love TV in 2017.
TV’s Scott Brothers on upcoming projects, brotherly love and twinsanity
BY KELLIE FREEZE The two hottest faces in TV home improvement look nearly identical. Twins Drew and Jonathan Scott, a real estate agent and contractor, respectively, share their tips and talents on a variety of HGTV series including Brother vs. Brother and the Property Brothers franchise. We caught up with the Scott brothers (their playful older brother J.D. also joins them in some of their adventures) in between shooting scenes for three series, to get to know renovation television’s brightest—and most charming—stars. On your show “Brother vs. Brother,” you two love to compete against each other. Are you two competitive in all aspects of your lives? Jonathan: Drew’s the most competitive man I’ve ever met in my life. He has to win at getting to the car first. I mean everything! I think it’s how we accomplish all the things that we do and the success that we’ve seen. Whether it’s with Scott Living, our home furniture and décor line, whether it’s with the
TV shows—we produce a lot of shows that we’re not in—we’re always trying to come up with better ideas and better ways of doing things. It’s fun. It’s something we’ve been doing our whole life.
Have you ever done a twin switcheroo? Drew: Oh, yeah, we have! On Property Brothers, we had twins that we were working with, Sandy and Susy, they were amazing. They were so much fun to work with. During renovation, they kept switching on Jonathan, and they looked so much alike you couldn’t tell. So they were constantly fooling him, so one day I swapped with Jonathan, and I came in wearing all the construction gear. They had no idea. I started plunking out all these things I was gonna change in the design, and they’re going along with it at first, thinking it was a good idea. They didn’t want to argue with a contractor and designer. Then they realized that everything I was saying was a little over the top. Then finally like, “Wait a

What’s something that one of you is good at that the other one is terrible at? Jonathan: I’m a magician, so I’ve been performing magic most of my life and I would say that’s probably mine. Drew: I would say for me, if you think of parkour or American Ninja Warrior, that’s something I’m pretty good at, but Jonathan’s not as agile.

Have you guys ever had one of those freaky twinsense moments? Jonathan: When we were in college, Drew was living in a completely different province in Canada. I woke up one morning, my knee was killing me. I thought maybe I slept funny on it. That afternoon, I was talking to my mom and she was like, “Oh, that’s weird because this morning your brother tore his knee and had to go into the hospital.” So we’ve had some weird coincidences that you can only chalk up to paranormal twin activity.

Riverwalk at Castle Rock breaks ground Construction is underway for the $60 million mixeduse development in Castle Rock Riverwalk at Castle Rock, a $60 million mixed-use development in Castle Rock, broke ground June 26. The announcement was made by Colorado-based Confluence Companies, which has completed 21 residential multifamily projects in the Denver Metro Area since 2010
with over 2,100 total units, and has five other projects planned or currently under development. Riverwalk will include 228 apartment residences, 30,000 square feet of office space, and 10,000 square feet of ground level retail and restaurant space. The first phase is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2018, and total project completion by late 2018. “It’s very exciting to begin construction on this catalytic project for Castle
Rock,” said Tony De Simone, principal of Confluence Companies. “The main reason Confluence Companies got involved in redeveloping downtown Castle Rock is because we saw a need for people wanting to live in downtown Castle Rock. The town, the Economic Development Committee, and the Downtown Development Authority all played a critical role, and are looking forward to this project spurring other re-developments to create a more active and walkable
downtown. Our goal is to enhance the vibrancy of downtown Castle Rock by giving people more choices to live, work, and dine in our community.” Riverwalk will border Festival Park, which is the result of a $7 million investment by the town of Castle Rock, and help to redefine the heart of Downtown Castle Rock. The development includes two blocks of downtown Castle Rock (bookending both sides of Sellars Gulch, along Wilcox
Street), and will consist of a mix of retail, office, and residential uses. Parking would be accommodated one level below each building and at the street level, parked behind the retail sections with 328 parking spaces would be dedicated to residents, office users, and visitors as a part of the Riverwalk development. Construction will start in the winter of 2017. More information about Confluence Companies is available at confluenceco. com.
Littleton police chief thanks community for support Search for local officer in Russia suspended last week
In the wake of the announcement last week by Russian authorities that the search for a missing Littleton police officer had been suspended, Police Chief Doug Stephens has thanked “those from the Littleton community and everyone around the world for their physical, financial and emotional support during the search.” On June 16, Officer Steven Beare was climbing Mount Elbrus, Russia’s highest peak, when he was reported missing. The Russian Emergencies Ministry said the search was hampered by bad weather. At press time, there was no new information on Beare’s whereabouts. According to an announcement by the City of Littleton,
Littleton policeman Steve Beare has been missing since June 16. Last week, Russian authorities called off a search on the nation’s highest mountain due to weather.

Beare’s wife Olivia was notified that search operations were to “scale back” last week. In a statement, she expressed thankfulness to the local community. “I want to express my gratitude for the many ways my
family has been helped and encouraged. These difficult times have been eased by so many acts of kindness,” Olivia said in a statement. A nongovernmental search led by an American citizen was to continue “day by day,” Olivia wrote on her Facebook page. “Life itself, as I know it, is looking extremely bleak …” she wrote. In another post, Olivia, who is 11 weeks pregnant with the couple’s second child, said she is still hopeful that her husband will make it home. “I just want you all to know that I am not giving up,” she wrote. “… I believe he is alive out there somewhere hanging on by a very, very thin thread.” The family has requested their privacy be respected. On June 21, U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman asked the Russian ambassador for all possible help in finding Beare.
