entwood Real Estate has integrated the new Google Glass technology with the company’s high-definition drones to provide a highly advanced, real-world visual display of the company’s listings that is unmatched in the real estate industry. Google Glass, developed by Google, is a wearable computer that looks like an eyeglass. The glass displays information in a smartphone-like, hands-free format with voice-over narrative. “The Google Glass takes video footage of a home’s interior that is very similar to taking a first-hand personal tour of the property complete with voiceover narrative descriptions of the home’s features and highlights,” said Peter Niederman, CEO of Kentwood Real Estate. “It’s like taking a real life walking tour of the residence.

highly advanced display of the home’s interior is now combined with our drone’s aerial footage of the home’s exterior and surrounding area, including views and nearby amenities. Our brokers can share the footage and narrative with prospective buyers anywhere in the world for a high tech real estate shopping experience that is unparalleled in the industry.” The Explorer version of the Google Glass was made available to testers by Google in April 2013. The wearable computer device is keyed to voice commands in addition to taking photos and videos. On April 15, 2014, Google held a oneday, international online sale of the Google Glass. All available glasses sold out within one hour, and Kentwood Real Estate was among the buyers. Kentwood Real Estate’s
drones are built primarily of highly durable carbon fiber with a full GPS setup featuring advanced waypoint mission control software, auto pilot, and one switch return to launch capability. The drones house a 1080p full HD video camera shooting at more than 60 frames per second, providing smooth and professional quality footage that can be viewed and monitored in real time during the flight. Each drone can operate at speeds up to 60 mph with excellent stability. Kentwood Real Estate now has a full-time drone operator and videographer who is currently taking aerial footage of the company’s listings throughout metro Denver and Colorado’s high country.

Investing in space
By Scott McCauliffe Investing in NASA means investing in America and Colorado’s economic prosperity. On July 29, 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was founded in an effort to have America be the first country to send a man to the moon. As most people remember, America came in second in almost every aspect of the Cold War space race to Russia. Once we successfully landed astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong on the moon, Russia all but bowed out of getting there. We haven’t been back ourselves in more than 40 years. To quote renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, “We stopped dreaming.” NASA’s budget, at its peak, was 4.41 percent of the entire federal budget. That was in 1966. Three years later, we put a man on the moon. In 2012, NASA’s total budget is 0.48 percent of the tax dollar. Now, the only way we
get to space is hitching rides with Russia. There is no doubt that this drop in funding has slowed our innovations as a country. America should be the leading the world, and instead, we’re falling behind everyone else. This is all on the national scale, but Colorado is starting to take the forefront when it comes to space. The Colorado Space Coalition is based right here in Denver. The Colorado Space Coalitions is a group of industry stakeholders working to make Colorado a center of excellence for aerospace. In Colorado, there are nearly 170,000 people employed by space related jobs. If organizations like NASA are moved back into the forefront of thought of Americans, this number grows and improves not just Colorado’s economy, but also our country’s. Colorado ranks second in the nation for private sector aerospace employment. There are five major
universities in Colorado that are leaders in aerospace, space research and education. In 2011, the National Science Foundation selected University of ColoradoBoulder to be the home of the National Solar Observatory. In 2012, $1.1 billion came into these universities and research facilities to further our aerospace programs. As appreciation and more publicity are brought to space sciences, more and more people will recognize Colorado as a leader in the field. Not only would making space exploration a priority to improve America’s standing internationally, but also Colorado would see a direct benefit. Why should we settle for piggybacking our way to space on a Russian spacecraft? Are we willing to give up on being leaders of science and technology? How much would you pay for the universe? We have to continue dreaming of tomorrow.

ViewHouse to open second restaurant and bar in Denver Tech Center Submitted by Paulina Szafranski After four years waiting for a new occupant, the lot that once housed the Traildust Steakhouse will soon blaze an exciting new path. In mid-August, local entrepreneur Francois Safieddine will open a second, highly-anticipated ViewHouse restaurant and bar at 7101 S. Clinton St. The first ViewHouse location opened a little more than a year ago at 20th and Market Street in the Ballpark neighborhood and offers, among other things, a 7,000-square foot rooftop for dining with a view of the action at Coors Field and “The Green,” an eyecatching outdoor space where guests play volleyball, bocce, corn hole and other activities. “We named our restaurant ViewHouse in part because we think a great dining experience is made better by a spectacular view. At our Ballpark location there are views of downtown and Coors Field, and at our new DTC location, we’ll have
unrivaled views of the Rocky Mountain Front Range,” Safieddine said. Of course, patrons will have the option of eating outside or, if they’d prefer a cozy and more intimate dining room, inside. ViewHouse’s 16,000-square foot DTC location will offer two large private event spaces downstairs and another upstairs event space with a dedicated kitchen and full bar. There will also be an open green space for outdoor games similar to the “The Green” at ViewHouse’s Ballpark location with additions of water features and a putting green, a perfect setting for a summer of happy hours and weekends in the sun. Both locations will serve chefdriven, yet affordable cuisine from a menu designed by Chef Jose Guerrero. His menus feature locally-sourced meats and produce, and fresh, house-made sauces, condiments, dressings and more. The new DTC location will offer 15 new dishes including several steaks and other selections that will be

Transfer: A low-cost alternative for a 4-year degree Kevin Iverson
COLLEGE PLANNING: Searching for solutions
By Estelle Meskin
Dear Estelle. Our dream for our children has been to send them to a four-year college in Colorado. We’ve saved money every year and they’ve had jobs so they too could contribute to their college educations. Since the 2008-09 economic downturn, our financials have plummeted and we find that even a four-year college in Colorado might not be affordable. This distresses us because we don’t want our children to graduate with enormous loans. Your thoughts? CWR, Parent, Highlands Ranch College financing has become a critical issue for many parents after the economic downturn several years ago. Many families lost their jobs, along with their college and retirement savings. This situation has been exacerbated by

majorSCHOOL tuition increases by many MATTERS colleges, sometimes as much as 15-20 percent in the past 5-10 years. Fortunately, we now have an affordable alternative here and in other states that makes a fouryear college degree possible for all students at a significantly lower cost. Last year, 38 percent of high school graduates entering college began at two-year institutions. A significant number transferred to By Judith Baenen St. Mary’s four-year collegesAcademy and obtained their baccalaureate degrees. Becoming a transfer student presents opportunities and challenges and it’s important for a prospective student to be aware of these when beginning this journey. Best of all, it will be more affordable than attending any of Colorado’s four-year institutions all four years. Red Rocks Community College has developed transfer agreements with University of Colorado, Colorado State University and the Colorado School of Mines. If a student graduates from high school and receives a two-year degree, they are considered freshman in terms of financial aid and scholarships. They will be recognized as juniors after their transcripts are reevaluated. CSU transfers require a minimum 2.5 GPA, School of Mines, 2.75. Each school provides many

services for transfer students, including academic and financial aid advising, mentors, honor societies, and flexible living in upperclass dorms and off campus housing. Before a student considers these innovative partnerships, they should visit the four-year school they want to transfer into and attend a college transfer fair, which are held annually at the communityBy colleges. Jim Miller Many 18 year olds are reluctant to attend the two-year option believing the community colleges will not provide them with the same type of campus life as a four-year school. In recent years, however, many of the community colleges have introduced athletics, student government, and numerous clubs and campus activities. The best part is the cost! This approach could save families a significant amount of money.

Western Stock Show Association announces new Board of Directors Ron Williams re-elected chairman
Stephen H. Walker, Peter J. Krumholz and W. Jared Scott, the new Denver Stake Presidency
New Leadership for the LDS Church in Denver
Submitted by Emily de Schweinitz Taylor, Denver Stake media relations On Easter Sunday, April 20, President Richard L. Millett was released from his position as stake president of the Denver Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Following President Millett’s nine years of honorable service as a lay leader over the Denver Stake, President Peter J. Krumholz of Denver assumed his role as the new stake president that same day. Typically, a stake president maintains his current professional duties while serving as a lay leader over thousands of congregation members within a given geographic area. As such, Krumholz will continue practicing law in a downtown Denver law firm. To form a stake presiden-
cy, Krumholz has called two counselors, namely Stephen H. Walker of Denver and W. Jared Scott of Greenwood Village. Walker and Scott will assist Krumholz in administering many aspects of his ecclesiastical duties among the nine local congregations of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Denver Stake. As a long-time resident of downtown Denver and a former Bishop over the highly diverse Capitol Hill Ward congregation, Krumholz looks forward to serving in this new capacity, with a vision of growth and reaching out to the larger Denver community. “We are entering a time where community outreach and cooperative efforts with other faiths will take on a heightened importance. As we continue to strengthen individuals and families within our own faith, we can enlarge our capacity
to serve and engage with the broader community,” Krumholz said. Building upon this idea of community engagement and service, Krumholz said, “The Book of Mormon teaches that we should esteem our neighbors as ourselves, and as Jesus taught so beautifully in the parable of the Good Samaritan, we cannot have a narrow view of who is our ‘neighbor.’ Mormons believe that we are all part of the same divine family, and so our relationships with others in our community are of lasting significance. I look forward to strengthening those relationships.” Certainly, Krumholz, along with the thousands of LDS members in the Denver community, look forward to reaching out to neighbors and bettering the community for all who call Denver home.
The Western Stock Show Association (DBA, National Western Stock Show) announced four new members to the Board of Directors during its annual meeting. “We are excited to welcome Justin Cumming, Doug Jones, Leslie Lange and Terrance Carroll to the board of the Western Stock Show Association,” said Paul Andrews, president and CEO of the National Western Stock Show and Complex. “They are all great leaders in their field and share the passion for the National Western Stock Show and our Vision, Values and Mission.” The new directors join the association with a wealth of experience and accolades. Cumming is a fifth-generation Coloradan, who grew up on the family farm and ranch near Julesburg. He and his family exhibited Hereford and Simmental cattle at Stock Show for more than 50 years. Cumming currently serves as chair of the Executive Livestock Committee and is a member of the Junior Livestock Auction Committee. Cumming is an attorney concentrating on agricultural law as well as real estate, probate and tax litigation. Jones is the president and owner of The JONES Realty Group. Jones is active in the day-to-day operations of the company and supports The JONES Realty Group’s principal activities. Prior to establishing The JONES Realty Group, his professional background included banking and service as a staff member in the U.S. Senate in Washington, D.C. Jones is a Trustee of the Western Stock Show Association and assists in evaluating the National Western’s Long Range Planning needs. He has also served on several other committees for the National
Western. Lange is an accomplished professional horsewoman specializing in quarter horse disciplines ranging from English classes to Western classes, and has trained world champion quarter horses and paint horses. She is a respected horse show judge and serves as a member of many equine organizations, including the American Quarter Horse Association (of which she is an honorary vice president), the National Reining Horse Association, the National Snaffle Bit Association, the Appaloosa Horse Club of America, and USA Equestrian, Inc. She is current president of the Rocky Mountain Quarter Horse Association and current chair of the National Western Executive Horse Committee. Carroll is a lawyer, minister and former Speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives, the first African- American ever to hold that office in Colorado. Carroll was elected in 2002 and represented House District 7, which encompasses parts of Denver until term limited in 2011. Terrance is currently Associate General Council at SCL Health and serves as a trustee of the Western Stock Show Association as well as co-facilitator of the National Western Community Advisory Committee and assists in evaluating the National Western’s Long Range Planning needs. Williams was re-elected as chairman of the Board. The board has now increased to 15 total members, per the new by-laws. Board members for the 2014-15 year are Sue Anschutz-Rodgers, Pete Coors, Pat Grant, Doug Jones, Guy McEndaffer, Thomas Bradbury, Justin Cumming, Mark Gustafson, Gail Klapper, Tracy Ringolsby, Terrance Carroll, Don Elliman, Buck Hutchison, Leslie Lange and Ron Williams.

OPINION Racing, hacking, remembering KINDLING
Arapahoe Park is now open for horse racing in our backyard where wagering on the ponies is legal and encouraged. Local horse breeders and trainers have a full racing schedule for the summer months. The “Sport of Kings” is underway.
Chinese hackers By Robert Sweeney
I’m rooting for California Chrome to win the upcoming Belmont Stakes and become the first Triple Crown winner in decades. The pressure on the owners has to be incredible as they await this Super Bowl of racing history.
I’m amazed at our government that we would waste time and money for the U.S. Attorney General to file indictments against four Chinese military officers for alleged computer hacking and omission against the United States. How ridiculous, are we just trying to harass China and ruin our trade relationships with the growing powerhouse? Putin is in China selling them $480 billion
of oil this week while the Obama regime is charging four military officers with computer crimes. The United States is the largest spy country in the world and no doubt we’re doing countless computer antics ourselves. What a waste of taxpayer money and how silly to spend resources in such actions. Of course we spy on each other and the officers were probably educated in the United States at our expense. We can go after these computer folks but we can’t find the people that killed our United States ambassador in Benghazi.
Memorial Day reflections
Visited with Mort Marks prior to Memorial Day and we talked about World War II and he re-
membered how no one wanted to die on the last few days of the war. Those who had fought all the way to Germany and across the Pacific wanted to return home alive. We owe these veterans and present day service members a great deal and it is shameful to see the VA Hospital two years behind schedule and way over budget. American people and veterans deserve better from our leadership.

World War II’s home front REMARKS
By Mort Marks
The other evening, I was asked an interesting question – the young lady said to me, “You’ve written about your experiences as an infantry man during World War II, but what was it like for those left at home?” Since I was in college for the entire year of 1942, before being drafted in April of 1943, I still remember life as a civilian on the “home front.” Even though 1942 was – wow 72 years ago – I can still remember that those war years were a long and challenging time in the lives of everyone at home.

High, Wide and Handsome By Cathleen Norman Montana celebrates two birthdays this year: becoming a territory on May 26, 1864, and achieving statehood on Nov. 8, 1889. Although separated by the fairly flat state of Wyoming, Colorado and Montana share several things in common, starting with their birth through gold discoveries. Colorado was the site of the first Rocky Mountain rush: the William Greene Russell prospecting party found gold flake at the confluence of the South Platte River and Cherry Creek, which triggered an 1859-1860 onslaught of gold seekers, miners and merchants into the region. Substantial discoveries of gold in the mountains to the west soon spawned Central City and Idaho Springs. Colorado became a territory on Feb. 28, 1861, and Montana followed in our footsteps three years later. Both states shared several geographic similarities. While each contains vast eastern plains, Colorado and Montana would both profit mightily from the mineral-rich Rocky Mountains, as well as tourists arriving to marvel at the grandeur of our mountain scenery. By 1862, the most accessible gold deposits had been depleted in Colorado’s first mining districts. Then a gold discovery at Grasshopper Creek in the southwest corner of presentday Montana triggered a major rush into the isolated mountainous region some 700 miles north and west of Denver City. The Grasshopper Creek/ Bannack gold strike of 1862 was followed by Alder Gulch (and Virginia City and Nevada City) in 1863, then Last Chance Gulch in 1864 where the town of Helena soon developed. There was no easy way to get to the Montana goldfields. Prospectors traveled on foot, horseback, wagon or endured the brutal nine-day stagecoach north from Salt Lake City. Freight wagons from Salt Lake City − drawn by teams of 12 to 16 horses, mules or oxen – travelled as long as three months to bring goods, supplies and mining equipment to the goldfields. Alternatively, the MontanaIdaho Transportation steamboat line brought goods up the Missouri River; then wagons labored for two months from the Fort Benton river port southwest over the Northern Overland Wagon Road to finally reach the southwest Montana mining districts. There, placer miners used gold pans, sluice boxes and hydraulic techniques to remove gold from the creeks, streams and rolling hills. By 1870, placer mining had removed the richest ore deposits: the booms at Bannack, Virginia City and Nevada City had flickered out. The high, dry climate and decades of neglect left these “ghost towns” pretty much unchanged. Now preserved and re-

stored, they are fascinating visitor destinations that depict the earliest days of America’s Mining West. Last Chance Gulch, on the other hand, grew into the Helena, “Queen City” and Montana’s state capital. In the first years of the 1800s, the vast region that is now Montana had been traversed and documented by the Lewis and Clark expedition. In the early 1860s, most of the territory still remained the domain of numerous native tribes. Military forts helped protect the uninvited gold seekers and other settlers; some forts also functioned as trading posts. Withstanding white settlement, military persecution and unfair treaty agreements, the Crow, Cheyenne, Assiniboine, Black Feet, Gros Ventre, Kootenai, Chippewa and Cree each occupies reservation lands in Montana today. By the 1860s, more than 30,000 settlers had arrived in search of gold or mercantile profit, nearly all of European extraction and mostly male. Miners from Colorado, Idaho and California made their way to the
remote southwest Montana mining districts. The most notable arrival from Colorado was William C. Clark, who got his start in mining in 1862 at the Bobtail Mine in Central City. When Clark heard word of the gold strike on Grasshopper Creek, he set out with a couple of companions and a wagon full of goods. “Our motto was Bannack or Bust,” he later recalled. Author-historian Bill Dedman describes how, “Clark and two prospector friends left Colorado with two yokes of cattle, a light Schuttler wagon, picks, shovels, gold pans, fresh vegetables, and the certainty that they’d get rich if anyone could.” Departing Central City on May 4, 1863, they journeyed to Fort Bridger in southwest Wyoming, then northward. The 700-mile trek took 65 days. Clark later described the flood of humanity he encountered on his way to the gold strike, “We found some stampeders on the way, some of them afoot, others on horseback, and all we
had to do was to follow the crowd.” Clark and his comrades reached Bannack on the eve of the Fourth of July. They commenced placer mining, and by the time winter set in they had accumulated several thousand dollars each in gold dust. Clark wintered over in Bannack, which he remembered as “a lively place... The gambling houses were open, where they were running a Spanish game with expert Spanish women.” Mining activity dwindled during the frigid winter, so Clark hauled wood for a hotel owner, earning $2 per day plus meals. Then he prospered by hauling goods from Salt Lake City to the mining towns – flour, butter, tobacco and eggs. Eggs were especially prized, selling for $3 apiece as a coveted ingredient for “Tom and Jerry” rum eggnog. During their transport journey, Clark and his crew shoveled snow for seven days in row, on the way passing wagons with oxen frozen in their tracks. Next, the nimble entrepreneur secured a lucrative government contract in 1867. He delivered the U.S.
mail from the steamboat port of Fort Benton, Mont., to Walla Walla, Wash., a rough and rugged 600-mile route that required a series of “ponies, riders boats and waystations.” “There was no lack of opportunities for those who were alert to making money,” Clark wrote in his journal, a sentiment that he applied to his professional life with huge success. By the 1890s, William A. Clark had become fabulously famously wealthy from commerce, banking, Butte copper mining and railroad building. President Abraham Lincoln signed the act that carved Montana Territory 150 years ago on May 26, out of the eastern half of enormous Idaho Territory. Lincoln appointed Sydney Edgerton of Ohio as territorial governor, and the president selected Virginia City as the territorial capital. By the time Montana achieved statehood in 1889, Bannack, Virginia and Nevada City were withering. Helena won the contested honor of state capital, beating out its rival, the copper mining town of Butte. Butte, however, went on to become Montana’s largest city in the early 1900s and the largest copper mining center in the world. The railroads finally reached Montana in the 1880s to serve the mining industry. Railroad transportation also encouraged homesteading settlement, agriculture and stock raising especially on Montana’s eastern plains. Unlike Colorado, Montana has remained sparsely populated, only last year achieving one million yearround residents. Harsh sub-zero winters discourage residency. As on Colorado’s Eastern Plains, drought and severe blizzards have hampered farming and cattle ranching. Nevertheless, agriculture (especially wheat production) and stock raising, remain the state’s foremost industries. Billings and several eastern Montana counties now enjoy a robust economy thanks to oil and gas drilling, production and refinement. Like Colorado, summer tourism is a strong with visitors to Glacier National Park, Yellowstone Park from the Montana-Wyoming border and the restored “ghost towns” of Bannack, Virginia City and Nevada City.
The Montana State Historical Society assists in preserving and curating Virginia City and Nevada City. Virginia City has a handful of residents today, while Nevada City is a ghost town. Photos by Cathleen Norman

2014 Ford Escape Titanium AWD goes places By H. Throttle Ford’s motto “Go Further” is pretty practical, and so is owning a Ford car or pickup. I’ve driven a Ford car for the past 14 years, so I am maybe a little biased in this report about this great American iconic company, but Ford is one of the great American brands, like Coca-Cola. There is a Ford dealership in almost every town of any size in America; they dot the landscape and it was Henry Ford’s dream to have a car that the working people of America could own, drive and enjoy. His dream came true many years ago with the family dominated car empire. Ford hit a huge home run with their eco-boost engine technology a few years ago whereby they turbocharged an overhead valve 4-cylinder engine and created a power plant that could produce a very hefty drive and also provide fuel economy to match.
The Ford Escape averages 24 mpg, easily operating with a sixspeed transmission. Many Ford products are now pushing out toward 40 mpg that can challenge any of the hybrid products without the batteries. The Escape is nimble, handles well on the freeways, and has a good feel and ride. I would suggest a little more carpeting to ease the road noise that seemed a little loud at times. Stylish, smart-key entry, all the modern bells and whistles, a really good rear camera that gives a sharp image to the back of the vehicle. The Escape is a safety award winner and has almost perfect safety records with top ratings in all categories. The Escape is list priced at $35,030 and no doubt Ford dealers will do there best with special pricing and terms to put Americans in Henry Ford’s mission of having a working family own a good car.
The 2014 Ford Escape Titanium AWD has list priced at $35,030
2014 Tiguan SE is pure Volkswagen By H. Throttle The “People’s Car” was developed in Germany prior to World War II had a similar theme to that of Henry Ford who wanted all American working families to have a Ford car. The Volkswagen “bug” has been around for a long, long time and that distinctive style still are on the roadway, but powered by larger engines mounted in the front rather than the rear of the VW vehicles. Interesting Porsche is now owned by Volkswagen, that is the tail wagging the dog. The German car manufacturer is now the largest car manufacturer in the world with German top quality and engineering. The Tiguan is an all-wheel drive suburban style vehicle that is fully equipped with all-weather equipment and perfect for Colorado weather. Priced at $28,950, the Tiguan is
modestly priced compared to other outdoor AWD vehicles. A 4-cylinder turbo-charged engine produces 200 horsepower and 28 miles per gallon on the highway using a six-speed variable transmission and an S turbomode. Fun to drive – the Tiguan is nimble, has a fine ride, precise steering and comfortable leather covered seats. Heated outdoor mirrors and front seats provide warmth for sudden Colorado weather tantrums. Volkswagen needs to use a smart key rather than the key device for easy vehicle entry and start. Seat belt receptacle is much higher and easier to buckle than most vehicles. The name is hard to remember and spell, but the vehicle performance is top-notch and this vehicle warrants a close consumer look.
The 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan is modestly priced at $28,950.
