6 District th

Showdown Coffman and Romanoff argue immigration and more in first debate

“I don’t want the government – and I don’t want an employer telling a woman how to make her own health care decisions,” Democrat Andrew Romanoff, right, said in response to incumbent Rep. Mike Coffman during their Aug. 14 debate organized by the South Metro Denver Chamber. Photo by Peter Jones

By Peter Jones ith Hispanics constituting one in five residents of Colorado’s reconfigured 6th Congressional District, it is no surprise that immigration reform was a major issue in the first debate between Republican incumbent Rep. Mike Coffman and Democratic challenger and former Speaker of the Colorado House Andrew Romanoff.

The two hopefuls squared off Aug. 14 at Hilton Garden Inn in Highlands Ranch for a two-hour standing-room-only forum organized by the South Metro Denver Chamber. About 400 people crowded into the hotel conference room and hallway. Both candidates had past positions and actions to answer for in connection to the contentious question of what to do with the nearly

11 million immigrants now living in the United States illegally. Coffman has previously opposed broad system-wide reform and aligned his views with those of his controversial 6th District predecessor and immigration firebrand Tom Tancredo. Meanwhile, Romanoff spearheaded divisive 2006 state legislation that denied many government services to unlawful immigrants.

More recently, Coffman has notably softened his views as the once Republican-safe 6th District has inched into Democratic-leaning and ethnically diverse Aurora. “I believe in a step-by-step approach to immigration reform,” he said of his current views, in response to a question from moderator Aaron Harber. “It has to do three things. We have to be able to secure our borders and enforce our laws.

I think, secondly, immigration policies have to grow the economy and not be a burden on taxpayers. And I think, third, we have to be compassionate.” While Coffman opposed a recently defeated congressional measure for broad reform, he touted his own bill that would allow those brought to the country illegally as children to earn citizenship through Continued on page 5

‘Putting garbage in the state Constitution’ Arapahoe County gambling proposal under fire

By Bob Sweeney The Arapahoe County Citizen Budget Committee held its monthly session at the County

Courthouse in Littleton, Aug. 13, commencing at 6:30 p.m. The group is appointed from all areas of the county by the commissioners to address citizen concerns about countywide expenditures and protecting citizens pocketbooks. They were concerned about the gambling

industry relocating to Arapahoe County with few local county controls and votes, and that was the agenda item for the monthly session. The meeting was highlighted by the attendance of County Commissioner Nancy Doty and her interest and concerns about

Ferguson in history books KINDLING

By Robert Sweeney

Two wrongs don’t make a right The old saying, “Two wrongs don’t make a right,” is a message that we should listen to these days. We have mass killings going on in Iraq, Syria and Gaza where thousands of innocent men, women and children are being slaughtered over political and religious hatreds. Now we can add Ferguson, Mo., to the list of war zones where Michael Brown was shot six times by a local police officer. There seems to be one common thread running through these kill-

ings and that is lack of jobs, education and opportunity for the young men and women of these countries and even Ferguson. The computer age and demand for a higher skilled workforce has put the unskilled out of work. Adding to the challenge for African American males are the skilled Mexican craftsmen who have immigrated to the United States legally or illegally. Many of the Mexican workers have been building the apartments, homes and time-share properties across Mexico and the beach areas during the vacation boom in Mexico for the past several decades. The workers can earn $4 a day in Mexico or $25 an hour in the United States. Pretty easy to see why many come to America and don’t leave. There is a whole lot we don’t know about Michael Brown, but apparently he was unemployed and had just strong-armed an employee at a local store for a box of cigars. An hour later, he had the confrontation with a local police officer that had a tragic outcome for Brown, the officer and America. One can see two sides to the altercation; neither may be right. Brown was a husky young male and had just allegedly committed

a crime. While the police officer wasn’t aware of this incident, Brown was and he may have been very concerned about a potential arrest. How threatening to the police officers was he? Did he strike the officer? Was he heading toward the officer when shot? If the weapon was a 9 mm, they fire rapidly and six shots would only take seconds compared to a revolver. It appears that the shots were excessive under any circumstance, but the police officer was entitled to protect himself and will have that as a legal defense. Brown appeared to be aggressive at the earlier convenience store robbery. On the other side, Brown was unarmed, a local youth with many friends, and at the time not wanted for any criminal activity. Why was he stopped? Reports indicate that he was standing in the middle of a street, not a serious situation by any means. Was he being harassed because of he was an African American male? Is there a pattern of police abuse in the 80 percent black community? Is this a pattern across America? If I was one of his friends, I would be very upset and thinking about getting even with those who killed him. Ferguson seems to have hit a raw

nerve about many things, including unemployment and the lack of opportunity for minority youth at the top of the list. Lacking jobs, youths have spare time on their hands with illegal drugs and minor criminal infractions being tempting. “Idle hands are the work of the devil,” is another old saying. The protests seen on television remind many of us of the old days of Gov. George Wallace and the civil rights protests of the 1960s. Days gone by, but not forgotten, and now there is still some civil unrest and racial discrimination boiling over with the Ferguson confrontation. Dr. Martin Luther King had it right in his peaceful demonstrations that proved so effective in his era. Citizens do have the right to gather, to march, to protest, but they don’t have the right to shoot at police, burn buildings and loot stores. There are those who race to Ferguson to do such things and to preach and practice hatred and violence. Ferguson and Michael Brown will forever make the history books and only time will tell how many chapters of this book will be written. We should remember, “Two wrongs, don’t make a right.”

2014 – summer is ending, time to lighten up REMARKS

By Mort Marks

In past years, I could “lighten up” by passing on some great jokes having as their punch line someone’s race, color, religion, physical characteristics or sexual preferences – “politically incorrect humor,” but not today, because they might offend someone. Although 99 percent of you let me know that such “politically incorrect jokes” were in the words of one reader, “Great, Great – Right On,” the outspoken few “self-appointed standard setters” among us who have whined and howled like banshees over small and imagined group slights, unfortunately, have temporarily won. That being the case, I’ll pass along the following “politically correct” stories that have crossed my desk: First – “John decided to go skiing

with his buddy, Keith, but after driving for a few hours they got caught in a terrible blizzard. So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night. “I realize it’s terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I’m recently widowed,” she explained. “I’m afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house.” – “Don’t worry,” John said. “We’ll be happy to sleep in the barn.” In the morning after the weather cleared, they got on their way, and enjoyed a great weekend of skiing. Nine months later, John got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend. He dropped in on his friend Keith, and asked him if he remembered that good-looking widow from the farm where he stayed on our ski holiday about nine months ago. “Yes, I do,” said Keith. “Did you happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit,” John asked? “Well, yes,” Keith said, a little embarrassed about being found out. “I have to admit that I did.” – “And did you happen to give her my name instead of telling her your name?” Keith’s face turned beet red and

he asked, “Look, I’m sorry, buddy, I’m afraid I did. Why do you ask? John answered, “She just died and left me everything.” (And you thought the ending would be different, didn’t you?) Now – Here’s the reason lawyers should never ask a grandma a question if they aren’t prepared for the answer. In a trial, a small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, an elderly grandmother, to the stand. He approached her and asked, “Mrs. Jones, do you know me?” She responded, “Why yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I’ve known you since you were a young boy, and frankly you’ve been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you’re a big shot when you haven’t the brains to be anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.” The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, “Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?” She again replied, “Why yes, I’ve known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster. He’s lazy, bigoted and has a drinking problem. He can’t build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he

cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.” The defense attorney almost died, but then the judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and in a very quiet voice said, “If either one of you two idiots asks her if she knows me, I’ll give you the death penalty.” Since it is now golf time, have you heard about Ed and Dorothy who met on vacation and Ed fell head over heels in love with her. And after a couple of weeks of going out with her, Ed was convinced that it was true love, and felt that it was only fair to warn her that he was a total golf nut. “I eat, sleep and breathe golf, so if that’s going to be a problem you’d better say so now.” Dorothy took a deep breath and responded, “Since we are being honest with each other, you need to know, I am a hooker.” “I see,” Ed replied, looking down at the table and quiet for a moment. Then he added, “You know, it’s probably because you’re not keeping your wrists straight when you tee off.” I’ll end up with a question – Have you heard about McDonald’s new Obama Value meal? Answer: Order anything you like and the guy behind you will have to pay for it.

Coffman vs. Romanoff to be decided Nov. 4 “I believe in a stepby-step approach. … This whole notion that we’re going to do one comprehensive sweeping thing [about immigration], I think we did that to our health care system.” - U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman Continued from Page 1 military service. It was an example of the kind of smaller steps that he said should be the focus of Congress, instead of the farreaching reform touted by Democrats. “There’s got to be a middle path and this whole notion that we’re going to do one comprehensive sweeping thing, I think we did that to our healthcare system,” Coffman said to the cheer of some audience members. Romanoff, who identified himself as the son and grandson of immigrants, challenged his opponent’s “step-by-step” approach. “That’d be fine if Congress were actually willing to take a single step,” the Democrat said, triggering applause from supporters. “… If you oppose the bipartisan plan passed by the Senate, if you oppose the counterpart to that plan introduced in the House, but you’re in favor of immigration reform, then you’ve got to identify a comprehensive plan that you support.” As for Romanoff’s 2006 state legislation – called among the toughest anti-illegal immigrant laws in the country – the Democrat said his support has been taken out of context. He characterized the measure as a stopgap alternative to a more draconian citizen-initiated ballot measure – supported by Coffman at the time – that would have enshrined even stricter limits on state services in the Colorado Constitution. “Was it a perfect compromise? No compromise is,” Romanoff said. “But if that measure had instead been embedded in the Constitution, it could have never been fixed. … No amount of state legislation can substitute for what we still need, which is federal comprehensive immigration reform.”

Coffman’s votes in question

In addition to immigration, the candidates shared some of their sharpest disagreements on cam-

paign-finance reform. While Romanoff highlighted his refusal to accept contributions from special-interest groups, Coffman downplayed the practical significance of political donations. Romanoff criticized the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2010 decision equating corporate contributions to First Amendment free-speech rights. As an example, he cited congressional opposition to allowing the Department of Human Services to negotiate deeper consumer discounts for prescription drugs. “Most Americans support that plan. The pharmaceutical industry does not,” the Democrat said. “Too many members of Congress owe their seats, in part, to contributions they take from political-action committees run by the pharmaceutical industry. … I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but you can follow the money.” Coffman countered that such contributions have little real impact on elections, if the politician in question has the courage of his own convictions. “People decide whether or not they support me based on what I do, based on my voting record,” he told Romanoff. “… You went to Harvard and Yale. I went to the Army and Marine Corps. I think there’s a difference here. I think you’re worried you’re going to take a check from somebody and you’re going to follow them. I lead.” While both candidates agreed in principle that U.S. tax policies should not reward corporations that ship jobs overseas, the two disagreed on whether Coffman’s voting record reflected support for that position. “I look forward to seeing those votes wherever they are,” the congressman said, prompting the Romanoff campaign to release a list of votes Coffman had cast between 2012 and 2014 that had the effect of allowing some companies that shipped jobs to maintain their tax breaks.

Abortion views solidified

A more recent high-court decision favoring the Hobby Lobby corporation prompted another disagreement on abortion rights and access to birth control. When asked, Coffman, who has not generally emphasized social issues, characterized his position on women’s reproductive rights as “pro-life.” “I’m proud of that,” he said. “And I do not support personhood [status for fetuses]. But I support a women’s access certainly to – this Hobby Lobby decision – to get birth control.” Romanoff was emphatic in his backing for abortion rights. “I don’t want the government – and I don’t want an employer telling a woman how to make her own health care decisions,” he said. The candidates had more nuanced positions on foreign policy,

“That’d be fine if Congress were actually willing to take a single step. … If you oppose the bipartisan plan passed by the Senate, … then you’ve got to identify a comprehensive plan that you support.” - Andrew Romanoff, Democratic candidate in 6th Congressional District with both hopefuls agreeing that the Iraq war was a mistake and that military spending should be on the table during deficit-reduction discussions. “America can’t solve all these problems on its own,” Romanoff said. “The keys in my view are to strengthen our international alliances … to maintain an American role as a strong supporter of human rights and democracy around the world, to never surrender that position, and of course to make sure we lead by example at home.” Coffman said it was important for the United States to be realistic in its goals. “We want to be idealistic in foreign policy and believe everything’s in black and white, and so much of it is in shades of gray,” he said. “We look at the world and think that everybody’s really just like us and if given the opportunity, they will be just like us. There’s an element of cultural imperialism there.” Both candidates believed the nation should take action on global warming, but differed on the level of urgency. Romanoff tied climate change to Colorado’s extended fire season and a beetle-infestation problem on the Western Slope, among other issues. “We are contributing to those changes,” he said. “Even if you don’t believe the science, it seems to me we ought to do what we can to tackle this problem for the sake of our health, our environment, our economy and national security.” Coffman said the nation needs to keep things in perspective, especially if it is to effectively cede industrial production to other countries. “If you make standards so difficult in the United States and push manufacturing jobs overseas, we have to realize that some goods will get produced without any environmental regulation. So I think we need to strike the appropriate balance,” he said. Election Day is Nov. 4.

Police seek 32-year-old man in last week’s shooting Man killed, suspect fled on foot

By Peter Jones Littleton police are seeking the public’s help in locating Joshua “Josh” Hoppe, 32, a suspect in a fatal shooting last week on West Peakview Avenue. Hoppe is described as a white man, 5 feet 10 inches, 200 pounds with multiple tattoos, last seen wearing blue jeans and a black, long-sleeved shirt. An arrest warrant for firstdegree homicide has been issued. Hoppe’s whereabouts were unknown. On Aug. 13 shortly after 8

Arapahoe County gambling proposal Continued from Page 1 tax revenue to K-12 public schools. County budget officer Todd Weaver distributed information materials presenting both sides of the issue. A county legal department representative was in attendance along with Greg Romberg, who represents Arapahoe County in legislative matters at the state legislature. Kathy Atkinson, president of her public relations firm, was present representing the casino industry that is a client of her firm. She addressed the negative impacts of the ballot proposal. There was no spokesman present for the racetrack proposal. After several hours of discussion, Committee Chairman Jamie Wollman described Amendment 68 as “Putting garbage in the state Constitution.” She called for a straw poll of the 15 members present of any support for the amendment and nary a vote was cast in favor of the ballot measure. While several Aurora delegates asked questions about job opportunities and business development they did not vote in favor of supporting the proposed amendment. Primary budget economic concerns were voiced by members about roads, in particular the Quincy and Gun Club intersection, and other avenues into the proposed casino site at Arapahoe Park, the only remaining horse track still operating within the state. While two other cities are mentioned under the proposed amendment, it would take five years to qualify for gaming and the horseracing tracks would have to be reopened and operated for a fiveyear period. Points were made that placing these additional counties on the ballot issue was a political attempt to draw more statewide support and favorable votes from Pueblo and Mesa counties for the November election. Other stumbling blocks for the

ballot issue were complete state control over the casino industry and the fact that Arapahoe County would not receive any of the tax revenues and would be faced with huge costs in law enforcement, infrastructure, traffic and roads with these costs not spelled out prior to the passage of the amendment. The ballot measure calls for the county to have to negotiate impact fees with the operators of the new gaming facility following the election of the issue passed. Ballot language also allows just one casino in each named county, preventing any future competition within the gaming industry. Such language would be very strange placed into the state Constitution, allowing just one of any type of business in any location by law. There was considerable discussion on how the committee could oppose the measure and what was legal for them to do under state election laws. Commissioner Doty advised the group that the county could not spend money either “for” or “against” this issue or other ballot issues. Committee member Tom Tanner spoke about the road issues in Aurora and challenges with transportation and road expenditures. Jared Ingwalson voiced his opposition to the ballot issue and told to the group that they could all write letters and speak out individually on the ballot proposal. The committee may issue more guidance after future meetings as a group within legal election guidelines. Additional concerns centered around the county’s lack of control and that the state governs and controls all gambling activities. Amendment 68 does not give local voters the option to decide if gambling should be authorized in their community or county, but is a statewide vote imposed upon a local entity. Katy Atkinson, representing the casino industry, said, “Schools have never said that they wanted

any funding like this, and no school endorsements have been forthcoming.” County lobbyist Greg Romberg spoke about the issues related to fees versus taxes and TABOR impact on the county taxing the casino or charging impact fees that would have to be negotiated after the election. Atkinson spoke about the negative impact on the existing casino industry that provides an estimated 10,000 jobs and pays around $100 million in gaming taxes to the state currently. This income and tax revenue could be lost and there is only an estimate of what one new casino at the existing racetrack might generate in tax revenue while hurting the existing gaming industry located in Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple Creek. The present tax dollars go to nine impacted counties, junior colleges, historic preservation, and parks and recreation needs. Under the new ballot measure, all funding would go to K-12 schools with the other entities losing current revenue streams. Many jobs could be in jeopardy if the one casino replaced the numerous casinos in Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple Creek. Atkinson indicated that the owners of the current Arapahoe Park, Twin-River World Wide, own and operate racetracks in some eastern states. More than 130,000 signatures were gathered to place this initiative on the statewide ballot and, according to Atkinson, many signatures came from Aurora promoting this as an economic tool for jobs and funding for schools. Ballot information for “pro” and “con” will be provided with election information mailed out with ballots in October. Atkinson stated that large amounts of money would be spent to attempt to pass this legislation. Further discussion on Amendment 68 will be held at the next session in September – date to be announced.

Cherry Hills Village considers going solar

By Jan Wondra Cherry Hills Village City Council got its first look at a proposal from SunShare Solar Company at its Aug. 5 meeting, which would waive the upfront costs of shifting to powering its city offices, including the police department, with solar energy. The council decided to continue to study the relationship, which, if the shift were to happen, would see the power to run these departments move to a “solar garden” located on leased land in Aurora. “This is a community solar opportunity,” said Rob Zucaro, community development manager, as he reviewed the information provided so far. “The fee waiver of upfront costs could allow the city to buy into 25,000 shares of solar energy with little to no risk.” SunShare Solar Company is a three-year-old company that began in Colorado Springs, shortly after Colorado became the first state in the nation to allow independent community solar farms to operate. It expanded to Denver this past year, and its clients include the cities of Manitou Springs, Colorado Springs, Westminster and Denver. The city of Aurora and Adams County are expected to sign contracts with SunShare Solar this week. What makes solar farms different is the energy is produced completely apart from the clutter of rooftop solar panels, which is what most people envision when they hear the words “solar energy.” These solar farms are fields of thousands of solar panels that collect power and supply it to the energy grid. If Cherry Hills Village city offices were to shift some of its energy use to solar, the proposal is projected to yield a $20,000 savings to the city (typically realized over the lifetime of a 20-year contract), by replacing some of its current fossil fuel consumption. The proposal from SunShare Solar would waive the normal $65,000 set up fees. The power produced by the solar garden enters the energy grid. Power providers like Xcel Energy typically require a 20-

year contract for municipal clients. Consumers can contract directly through Xcel to set up their individual home to use solar energy. The estimated tax credit of 7.5 cents is the same for solar as for fossil fuels. “The benefit is not only that we conserve fossil fuels, but that there is no fluctuation in costs,” said Zucaro. “The contract would offer a set monthly fee for use of a renewable resource. It’s not like the sun is going to go away. In fact, blocking the solar rays in Colorado is actually illegal.” “Who approves the formula, and what are the risks, if we’re

of a new artificial turf for the playing field and track at St. Mary’s Academy. The school’s application is predicated upon the reality that most schools in its competitive group have already installed artificial turf, including Kent Denver, which installed its turf earlier this year. “The need,” said school Principal Kathryn MacNamee, “pun intended, is to level the playing field.” The school’s plan meets all major setback requirements and underground drainage pipes. Because the new field service will be a permeable surface, no extra drainage will be required. The school plans to begin construction immediately, to be ready for the 2014-2015 school year.

Sprint mobile wireless contract approved

in a contract and our use varies seasonally?” asked Mayor Pro Tem Russell Stewart. “Your risk floor is zero,” said David Amster-Olszewski, founder and CEO of SunShare Solar. “You can back out of the contract at any time. Xcel is mimicking this community solar industry with its roof top program. SunShare Solar is 100 percent internally owned and operates like a cash flow real estate company. It takes out debt only on facilities as it brings them online. It’s currently in an equityfinancing round for $15 million in financing and has $1 million in cash on hand. “The idea surely warrants further investigation by city staff,” said Councilman Scott Roswell. “Taking a step like this would be environmentally responsible.”

New turf field approved for St. Mary’s Academy

Following a brief public hearing, Cherry Hills Village City Council approved an expanded use permit to allow installation

A short-term, mobile wireless contract to cover communication facilities for the September BMW Golf Championships at Cherry Hills Country Club was approved after a brief (less than one minute) public hearing. The communications facilities, which could be as small as a single tower, known in the industry as a “cow,” on a 20-by-30 foot space, will sit well within the required setbacks. The request has been made to avoid straining the Village’s mobile communications capacity during the tournament. Not that the use of mobile phones is allowed at the Cherry Hills Country Club, but that the communications in and around the Village as people go to and from the parking areas will be high. The Village is covered by cell towers on Menhaden facing south, and some of the churches have cell towers too. Ross Kaufman, who represented the Sprint organization, has provided the cell network event construction for the past 15 years, said the single cow will have a self-contained trailer that will go in the last week before the championship. “Logistically, we are so close to the event that no other facility can get through the city’s approval process,” he said.

I-25 shooter gets 76 years for attempted murder Shot ex-fiancé in morning traffic and fled to New Mexico

By Peter Jones man convicted of trying to murder his ex-fiancé on an I-25 onramp during a morning rush hour was sentenced last week to spend more than three quarters of a century behind bars. On Aug. 14, Christopher Lyle Fields, 29, was sentenced to 76 years in prison for actions that included seriously injuring his victim at the busy intersection of I-25 and County Line Road. “The only thing more unset-

tling than the facts of this horrible case was the long-winded, self-centered, remorseless statement of the would-be killer at his own sentencing,” District Attorney George Brauchler said after sentencing. “… While our office played a significant role in seeing the defendant convicted for his deliberate and murderous conduct, it took the defendant to earn his way to a maximum sentence. The right to speak at sentencing is not an obligation to speak.” The victim and defendant’s engagement had ended almost two years before the shooting on Jan. 9, 2013. Soon after the break-up, Fields began harassing the victim through acts that included post-

County’s Human Services recognized Submitted by CDHS The Colorado Department of Human Services has recognized the Arapahoe County Department of Human Services for “C-Stat Distinguished Performance.” The county’s Human Services staff worked with childcare providers to substantially increase use of an automated system of reimbursement payment. The result for Arapahoe County is that child care reimbursements are processed timely and accurately. CDHS Executive Director Reggie Bicha was joined by county staff; Arapahoe County Commissioners

Nancy Doty, Nancy Jackson, Nancy Sharpe, Bill Holen, Ron Bockenfeld, and Arapahoe County Human Services Director Cheryl Ternes. “Arapahoe County’s success has resulted in less fraud, fewer errors and better administration of taxpayer funds … all of which will result in more families having access to safe child care as they go back to work,” Bicha said. C-Stat is the department’s performance-management strategy that tracks approximately 100 measure in real time across all of its programs to create positive outcomes for the people CDHS serves.

ing vulnerable photos of her at her worksite, keying her car and flattening her tires, and leaving her a voicemail message from a number belonging to a medical clinic to tell her that she was dying. In 2012, Fields was charged with stalking in Douglas County and forced to wear a GPS ankle bracelet. Around 8 a.m. on the day of the shooting, the defendant waited for the victim in a wooded area. When the victim drove near northbound I-25 and County Line Road, he stopped the woman’s car by walking in front of it. He fired one round from a semiautomatic handgun into the windshield. The woman sustained wounds a few inches from her main arteries, but

survived and called for help while driving. Immediately after the shooting, Fields cut off his GPS monitor and sped off on a motorcycle with $36,500 in cash, a map with directions to Baja, Mexico, and an English-to-Spanish dictionary. He was eventually apprehended in New Mexico after a cellphone ping alerted authorities to his location. On June 26, Fields was found guilty of attempted first-degree murder, retaliation against a victim, violation of bond conditions, stalking and harassment. “I am proud of the strength the victim showed in seeing this case through to the end,” Brauchler said.

Regaining fiscal responsibility in Washington By Andrew Romanoff You don’t buy things you can’t pay for. It’s a pretty simple rule – unless you’re a member of Congress. Every year, Congress spends hundreds of billions of dollars more than it takes in. The result: a federal government now more than $17 trillion in debt. Interest payments on the debt alone are expected to exceed $230 billion this year, siphoning resources that could be put to better use. Washington’s chronic inability to produce annual budgets creates uncertainty among employers, consumers and markets. It doesn’t have to be this way. When I was speaker of the Colorado House, we balanced the budget every year. Here in Colorado, that’s not just a good idea; it’s the law. The state Constitution requires the legislature to make revenues and expenditures match. Balancing the budget ought to be the law in Washington too. A balanced budget amendment would require Congress to do what it has thus far been unable or unwilling to do: set the federal government on a responsible path to fiscal health. What would such a path entail? First, a balanced-budget amendment must protect Social Security. Second, the amendment must allow the government to respond to security threats, natural disasters and other emer-

Andrew Romanoff gencies. Third, the amendment must permit the nation to rebuild its infrastructure and finance other capital investments. To be clear, a constitutional amendment is no substitute for the actions Congress still needs to take. The best ways to bring the federal budget into balance are to: • Grow the economy. Persistent unemployment and underemployment have imposed a real burden on too many American families and on the economy as a whole. Putting more Americans back to work remains one of our nation’s most urgent priorities. (Visit www.andrewromanoff. com/issues/grow-our-economy for more details.) • Identify and reform or eliminate programs that don’t work. Performance- or outcomebased budgeting would hold

agencies responsible for meeting measurable goals. That makes far more sense than simply reauthorizing programs and ignoring their results. The Government Accountability Office has identified hundreds of redundant federal programs; ending them would save taxpayers billions of dollars. • Curb the cost of health care. Each year, the U.S. spends more than $8,000 per person on health care, more than twice as much as other developed nations. Rising medical costs have bankrupted families, burdened businesses, and driven out key investments in other areas. Curbing those costs is essential. One simple step: negotiate deeper discounts in pharmaceutical prices. When I led the Colorado House of Representatives, we not only balanced the budget; we finished our work ahead of schedule, all four years in a row. Congress, in contrast, careens from one self-inflicted crisis to the next, lurching from showdown to shutdown. That’s no way to run a government. We can do better.

Make-A-Wish Colorado Wine & Wishes brings Beatlemania

By Glory Weisberg

ake-A-Wish Colorado began granting wishes to children with potentially fatal illnesses about 30 years ago. Since then they’ve granted 4,200 wishes, 77 percent of them wishing to go to Disney World. When the nonprofit had its Wine & Wishes “A Tribute to The Beatles” recently at the Sewall Ballroom, a wall of silent auction items greeted the 150 guests, many who came in Beatlemania and hippy outfits to fit the theme. Colton Hunt wanted to meet Blake Shelton and in June, Colton and his parents Brad and Kim Hunt had a wish come true, as they did indeed meet the country-western star at his “Ten Times Crazier Tour.” Colton was born with Down syndrome and a heart condition, then was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He is now in remission after treatment at Children’s Hospital. During a teary-eyed address to guests Brad Hunt said, “We lost everything financially,” due to the cost of Colton’s care but they are on a roll now with gutsy 5-year-old Colton even grabbing the mike from emcee, Woody Roseland, to add some of his own comments. Roseland is himself a cancer survivor, being struck at age 16,

forcing him to face the amputation of one leg. He was also a Wish recipient, Then there’s adorable “princess” Keely Waterman who’d suffered with kidney cancer. She was granted a wish to be a princess. So over four days, she and her family stayed at the local Ritz-Carleton and then were delivered to the Brown Palace Hotel in a pink princess outfit, for her coronation, where she walked up a red carpet to her “throne” and was given a tiara and royal “princess” sash. Adding to the outfit were long white gloves, sparkling shoes and a white purse. Today she likes strawberries, Benihana, gymnastics, Toys R Us, and the Frozen movie’s very hot tune, “Let It Go.” Joan Mazak is MAW Colorado president and CEO and she plans to keep on working to grant local kids’ wishes. Sponsors included Rich and Sue Jones, Spinal Elements, Northstar Realty Securities and Helzberg Diamonds, among others. Among committee members was Patti Forsythe, a loyal MAW Colorado friend and Mazak supporter from day one. The local Make-A-Wish office is in Greenwood Village.

Greenwood Village honors student artists By Jan Wondra Two talented art students received scholarships from the Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities Commission at the Aug. 4 City Council meeting. Both are graduating seniors: Kristina Hagman of Heritage High School and Grace Kim of Cherry Creek High School. Hagman took second place, receiving a $1,000 scholarship and Kim was awarded the first place $2,000 scholarship. “We’re pleased that both recipients of our Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities Scholarships, and their families and school representatives, are with us this evening,” said Mayor Ron Rakowsky. “Our quality of life includes a balanced appreciation of all aspects of life, including an appreciation for the arts. These students represent the best of their field and we are pleased to honor them this evening.” Kim is the daughter of Luke and Yukyong Kim. Hagman is the daughter of Steve and Sally Hagman. Both winners are going on to college in their fields, but on opposite ends

of the country. Kim plans to attend Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Wash., to study drawing and digital animation. Hagman will attend Northeastern University in Boston to major in studio arts. “Their body of work is outstanding, detailed, absolutely gorgeous,” said Jim Sidinger, the 2104 chair of the Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities Council. “The visual arts are quiet victories. We need more of this in our culture.” Not only did the students receive scholarships, but the public school art programs that produced them received cash awards from the city as well. Dr. Ryan Silva, principal of Cherry Creek High School, accepted the $300 2014 School Advantage Award on behalf of the art department Mr. Phillip Bernal, arts teacher, accepted the 2014 School Advantage Award of $200 on behalf of Heritage High School’s art program. Examples of the students’ art will be on display in the lobby of the Greenwood Village City Hall during August.

Safeway surrenders

It is like losing an old friend to have your grocery store simply close up and be gone. Safeway at Hampden and Happy Canyon is doing just that come Sept. 1. In the meantime they are not getting any deliveries so what is left is a large garage sale of items they would prefer not to have to move. This is a business decision and I can normally understand but it is simply the latest in a series of lousy decisions by Safeway regarding this location. As the only alternative to King Soopers and Whole Foods in this area, one wonders why Safeway Corprate ignored the potential here. We can always adjust to new things but we will truly miss the people we have come to know by name at our Safeway. They watched our kids grow up and have made our lives much easier for many years. Farewell Safeway. Don’t trip over the carts on your way out, Management. Tom White Greenwood Village

Congrats Mort

I wish to congratulate Mort Marks for writing such a succinct and accurate defense of Israel’s battle against Hamas. I am a biblically literate gentile, and it is very clear all through the Old and New Testaments that a living powerful God wants the Jews to own and live in their own land. Even the borders are delineated clearly in the Bible. It is also abundantly clear that any country or group that seeks to obliterate or persecute His chosen people, is bound for destruction.

Hickenlooper’s great fracking commission

Sales Office and Model Opening This Weekend

Refreshed, renewed and reinvigorated by East West Partners, Colorado’s premier condominium developer. See what we’re up to at VisitTheLandmark.com or call 303-607-7650.

Gov. John Hickenlooper wants an 18-member fracking commission to “compromise.” But Hickenlooper’s preconditions for the fracking commission are one-sided and laughable. The governor will only appoint people who believe the state’s control of fracking operations preempts any local community’s right to control or ban fracking operations. Where is the compromise? The governor demands that the commission NOT discuss air quality and water quality impacts from fracking. Where is the compromise? As governor I will disband the whole fracking commission, assuming it even gets off the ground. (Hickenlooper may also drop the whole idea the day after the election, if he is reelected. Bob Beauprez, the Republican candidate for governor, certainly would.) At a gut level I resist one-size-fits-all solutions for Colorado. Maybe people in Weld County are happy with fracking for the revenue it provides. Maybe people in Boulder County think putting up with fracking isn’t worth the money. I say let the locals decide. Local communities have a natural right to control local activities. That is the whole point of Rep. Jared Polis’ initiative #89, which won’t be on the ballot in November thanks to arm-twisting from the governor. There are more than a dozen special tax exemptions for oil and gas extraction in Colorado’s severance tax code, costing taxpayers more than $250 million per year. Continuing to prop up oil and gas development unfairly impacts and delays development of renewable, non-polluting energy sources in Colorado. As governor I will work to end tax subsidies to the fossil fuel industry and level the playing field for development of renewable, non-polluting energy sources.

Amy Van Dyken-Rouen ‘graduates’ Craig

Olympian begins new life journey

By Tom Barry Last week at the end of two months of hard work and rehabilitation from a severed spinal cord, Olympic swimmer Amy Van DykenRouen left Englewood’s Craig Hospital. The Olympic gold-medal winner, who attended Cherry Creek High School, had been injured in June when the ATV she was driving tumbled. Van Dykne-Rouen had been on the fast track with her motivation and hard work. She completed her intensive rehabilitation process in Craig’s neuro-rehabilitation clinic. But unlike most patients who check out of this world-renown rehabilitation hospital, the socially active media celebrity held a press conference. “I want to thank everybody who is a part Craig Hospital. It’s been an amazing two months,” said Van Dyken-Rouen, expressing gratitude to all those who had worked with her through an extensive therapy

process. Hospital CEO Mike Fordyce accompanied the Olympic star. “Today, Amy becomes one of 30,000 Craig graduates. … We are happy to have her as part of our family,” he said. Van Dyken-Rouen thanked the media for “bringing awareness to the fact that we need more research” into spinal-cord injuries and reflected on her time at Craig. “It’s been a lot of work. … It’s been a lot of smiles, and a lot of ‘woo-hoos,’ a lot of singing,” she said. “There’s been a lot of tears shed for sure. This is not easy and I don’t want to portray that because I have a smile on my face.” Van Dyken-Rouen, who noted times that she had initially lashed out during her tough therapy, credited the staff for their exceptional work in changing the way she “goes about the world.” “Which I think is the biggest thing I learned here. It’s amazing,” she said. “... I’m the wheelie queen. I can get up and down a ramp … in a wheelchair with purple rims. … I’m

a thousand times better physically – and as I said before, mentally.” The former patient will stay in Colorado for a while and plans to sail, see some friends and enjoy some mountain air. She and her husband planned to return in September to their home in Arizona. Van Dyken-Rouen will also go back to Craig for outpatient work. Additionally, she will be working with another private team of support staff to prepare her to swim again. “The biggest challenge, of course, is the fact that we don’t have a cure for spinal-cord injury,” she said. “We’ve got a cure or something for everything else. I think that we need to bring more awareness to that. … I would love to see a cure for this sometime in my lifetime – and I think that we will. “I’ve met some amazing people here,” Van Dyken-Rouen added, as she broke into tears. “They’ve really changed the way I think. … I’m also talking about the patients that are here. I’ve made lifelong friends. They’ve changed the way I think about the world.”

DU student experiences Israel first-hand during conflict

Obituary Ginger Underwood remembered By Glory Weisberg Ginger Underwood, a devoted supporter of the Denver Ballet Guild, was killed in an accident on I-70 on Aug. 12, driving to the mountains to see her daughter. As fellow Guild supporter and Guild President Pam Gatz said, “Ginger was a presence, caring and willing to help others any time. She was also the history of the DBG and she kept us on track. It’s going to be hard to think of the Denver Ballet Guild without her.” Just about every major Denver Ballet Guild function included Ginger, always facing crowds with a glorious smile and entertaining personality that was obvious merely by viewing photos of her. She chaired the 2010 Le Bal de Ballet Debutante Ball, served on the 2011 Madams & Martinis event committee, and worked on many other activities. The late colorfully elegant woman was recognized by Cambridge’s Who’s Who for “demonstrating dedication, leadership and excellence in community service.” Underwood had a master’s degree in English literature and in 2007 she coauthored A Little Travel Guide for High Maintenance Women, a paperback book that is humorous, entertaining and thoroughly readable, available on Amazon, and it makes a great gift.

Ginger Underwood Underwood, age 67, was from Liberal, Kan., and is survived by her husband, Dr. Larry Underwood, daughter Stacey (Christopher) Holzer, son Eric (Cristen) Underwood, her parents Ray and Virginia Hall, sister Sherryl (Charles) Peterson, brother James (Alice) Hall and grandchildren, Alexander Underwood and Zoe Holzer. A celebration of life is being planned with a yet uncertain date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ginger’s name may be made to the Denver Ballet Guild, P.O.

Buildings evacuated due to bomb threats By Peter Jones A Greenwood Village office complex was evacuated Aug. 18 after two bomb threats were received. Police found nothing after searching the Great West Life building on East Orchard Road. Employees were sent home for the day.

According to PIO Crystal Dean, the first phone call, received shortly after 2:45 p.m., said there was a bomb in one of the three buildings. The second call was made to Greenwood Village Police less than a half hour later. The case remains under investigation.

By Glory Weisberg University of Denver student Devin Hogan was in Israel when the conflict between Israeli and Palestinians literally exploded. DU and Hebrew University give students credit for their exchanges and with international reporting and journalism interests. Hogan was excited to fly to Israel June 24 for what was to be a month to experience first-hand what the region is like. In late July, as she was learning about the culture of the population, Jewish and Palestinian, she got more of an education than she’d bargained for. Explosions rocked the peaceful Jerusalem air and air sirens in Israel began ripping through the area. Forty bombs went off that first day and at first, with only a few seconds warning, Hogan said, “I sprinted to a bomb shelter.” Later as the air sirens kept going on she said she got accustomed to them and didn’t bother rushing to a shelter. “It wasn’t that frightening,” she said. Hogan, who is not Jewish, was one of a group of five students living together and one of them was from Morocco. Hogan was doing “a lot of interviewing” of the locals, even though some refused to talk openly about life in the city. “Some Israelis don’t want to be photographed and neither did the Palestinians,” she said. And perhaps for good reason. “Every bus station and every playground, every house has a bomb shelter. They live in fear. It’s pretty crazy in the border area that was the checkpoint on the West Bank,” she said, and they had to show their visas to be there. And speaking of being there, “Hamas doesn’t want Israel there,” she said. “My personal opinion is what are the (Israeli) people supposed to do? Israel has to protect itself. It’s really tense there. One girl I interviewed didn’t understand (why Jews) were there.” Perhaps typically, the girl she was interviewing didn’t understand how the geographical lines were drawn, and thought they were “too spread out.” Asked her thoughts of the region’s future, Hogan said, “Peace can happen when Hamas is destroyed. Palestinians said they don’t want to be occupied anymore,” that the Israeli Jews don’t belong there, according to

Devin Hogan what the Palestinian was taught about history. We stop to take a breath and ask whether Hogan feels media coverage of the conflict is balanced. Her reply, “No.” “Without the Iron Dome (missile defense system), Israelis could not have survived. All I see on TV is Palestinian kids being hurt. “I wanted to stay and see the war end,” Hogan said, but DU and her family couldn’t let her stay and they wanted her on the first American flight out, but on July 24 all planes were banned from the airport. When it reopened, the university got into action and spent an extra $3,500 to fly her home when normally the roundtrip fare is $1,700 when planned well in advance. But according to Will Jones, external communications manager at DU, “The university found the money to get this student out of there.” Hogan said, “I would go back to Israel now and I understand what it’s like to be them, how they feel.” Tourists should see and understand this war. People don’t know about the disappeared Israelis.”

And speaking of disappearing, she said she has a friend in the Israeli Army who said the tunnels could be six stories down and cars can go through them. So what’s in her future plans? She’s considering the Peace Corps, a two-year commitment, but she is also considering studies in strategic communications. Students in the exchange program participate on two academic tracks: one of them focuses on the study of Hebrew, Arabic and Israeli studies. The other specializes in peace and conflict studies and international studies.” Jones also noted that about 20 students have participated in semester-length programs like this, usually with three to seven students per year in this region. With her experiences in Israel and getting in touch with Palestinians, as well as Jews and residents of other beliefs living there, she certainly has the perspective to become an intelligent expert on both, and has a bright future ahead as she enters her senior year at DU. gloryweisberg@comcast.net

34-year volunteer recipient of 7Everyday Hero Award In collaboration with TLC Meals on Wheels and Channel 7Everyday Hero, Beverly Busher was recognized as a 34-year volunteer recently. The report on Channel 7 News can be seen on Thursday, Aug. 21 at 11 a.m., Friday, Aug. 22 at 4 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 23 at 5 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 24 at 7 a.m. Born in Winterset, Iowa, Busher transplanted to Littleton (now Centennial) in 1964, and joined the Littleton LaSertoma organization (Ladies in Service to Mankind). As a member she became involved with numerous sponsorship programs. Among the original organizations was Meals on Wheels. The Littleton LaSertoma group is now “Community Service Club of Littleton.” A major portion of her life since 1980 has been her selfless dedication to serving the needs of worthy recipients as an unpaid volunteer giving of herself and time. In addition, over the years, Busher has found joy in donating wholesome, organic produce from her picturesque garden. Not only the produce

Surviving ‘The Ledge’ Survivor Davidson to tell his story at Wildlife Experience Aug. 22

After summiting Mount Rainier, two climbers began their descent on the Emmons Glacier. A hidden snow bridge suddenly collapsed and dropped them both 80 feet into a dark glacial crevasse. In minutes, one friend was gone forever. Jim Davidson was left alone, struggling to find a way up the overhanging walls of the icy tomb. Renowned climber, author and motivational speaker Jim Davidson, will be presenting at The Wildlife Experience. Davidson has written an award winning book, The Ledge, a fascinating story from which a television show was produced. He is a Colorado guy and usually only speaks for private, corporate events. This will be a rare opportunity for the public to hear his story. Come experience this amazing survival story, with photos, videos and vivid storytelling. Jim will share his compelling tale and the lessons he learned about resilience. Surviving the Ledge is set for Friday, Aug. 22, 6 – 8:30 p.m., $12 – Museum Members and $15 – NonMembers.

Dedicated time has also been found for her volunteerism in the Food Bank Ministry area of the South Fellowship Church. Busher will soon begin another chapter in her life as she departs her community enroute to a new home and live in Union, Mo., with family and friends. In the many existing years of TLC Meals on Wheels, Busher has devotedly volunteers beyond requirements for the past 34 years! A resounding “adieu” from all those whose lives have been so richly touched. The origin of Littleton Meals in Wheels (originally “Town of Littleton Cares” Meals on Wheels) began in the mid 1960s with Littleton resident, Virginia Baker. After providing for her family’s needs she reached out to friends of her parents and the elderly, along with a group of volunteers, to provide nourishing meals to those in need. They quickly outgrew their first location, the Littleton Presbyterian

Church and the need arose for a larger facility. So in 1972, the operations moved to the new housing at Bradley House. The program continued to grow with Jan Andrus as the director from 1982 to 2007. Phil Miller later became executive director until he moved away. As a result of an invitation from Littleton Public Schools, the organization made another move in 2009, and now resides in the Ames Elementary School building at 7300 S. Clermont Drive in Centennial. At the same time the name “TLC Meals on Wheels” became official. In 2011, the reigns of director and management was entrusted to the capable hands of Diane McClymonds. Today, TLC Meals on Wheels is a substantial, dependable entity that continues to flourish in the community. About 357 individuals receive nourishing meals in the area from County Line Road on the south to the border of Englewood on the north and C-470on the west to I-25 on the east, Monday through Friday.

Beverly Busher recently received a 7Everyday Hero Award.

No individuals who receive meals pays for the service, however, volunteers receive personal satisfaction and endless thank yous. Interested persons are invited

and encouraged to become a volunteer with the TLC Meals on Wheels, call 303-798-7642 between 8 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. or visit www. TLCMealsonWheels.org.

Clothes to Kids ready to outfit DPS students

Luncheon slated for Sept. 23

lothes to Kids of Denver has an inventory of nearly new and brand new clothes and shoes to fit students enrolled in Denver Public Schools, where two out of three kids in the district qualify for free or reduced lunch. That means they come from families living at or below the poverty line. Qualified students attending DPS public academies can also select uniforms here. Clothes to Kids has a spacious storefront on South Colorado Boulevard where kids can select outfits they need to attend school, spared the stigma of showing up for classes wearing too well worn or illfitting items, including shoes. Items for the store are donated by private and public school parents, many of them living in the Cherry Creek School District or attending private schools such as St. Mary’s Academy, Kent Denver or Regis High School. Other donations come from businesses such as Liberty Mutual that gave Clothes to Kids $25,000 to spend on new socks and shoes. The Optimist Club headed The Undie 500 Drive and the results are apparent in bins stacked with brand new underwear and socks ready for distribution. “We need everything” kids might need for school, said Development Director Val Lunka. A quick tour of the store, that’s now about 2,500 sq. ft., shows racks upon racks of merchandise arranged as they would be in a retail store, the racks themselves donated by The Container Store. The nonprofit, which opened in 2008, has grown so rapidly that it just doubled its floor space, and thanks to LEI Companies, the whole store has brand new lighting. Since girls are gentler on their clothes than boys, Clothes to Kids needs more boys’ jeans starting at size 5 and young men’s sizes. In 2013, Clothes to Kids provided

Let’s face it parents, your daughters aren’t likely to wear this spring’s prom gown again and boys’ jackets are going to be too small to wear again in 2015.

A memorial of love for Claire Davis

Clarity Commons opens at Arapahoe High School

By Tom Barry Webster’s defines “clarity” as “the quality of being easily understood; the quality of being expressed, remembered, understood, etc. in a very exact way.” Aug. 16 was an exceptionally special and memorable day in Centennial for the Claire Davis family – as well as for Arapahoe High School’s students and staff – with the debut of Clarity Commons. It would have been Davis’s 18th birthday and the beginning of her freshman year in college. The student’s life was cut short in the Arapahoe High School shooting last December. On this day, the Littleton Hospital Foundation and the local business community came together to honor Davis with Clarity Commons. More than 1,500 people – ranging from family members, classmates, government officials and contractors who worked on the project – attended the opening of the colorful one-acre park and garden at the corner of University Boulevard and Dry Creek Road. “Clarity Commons was built on love,” said Kim Christiansen, the

9News anchor who acted as master of ceremonies and reminded everyone of the related motto adopted by the class of 2014: “Consciously and deliberately, choose every day for the rest of your life to love.” Brett Spenst, CEO of Littleton Adventist Hospital where Claire was treated after the shooting, expressed his staff’s special relationship with the Davis family. Dave Kenney, a project superintendent with G.E. Johnson Construction, coordinated the fast-track transformation of the land into a beautiful commemorative park. His 12-year-old son, Colby, a future AHS student, stood alongside his dad donning an Arapahoe Warriors cap. Johnson worked with two-dozen other companies that helped make this labor of love come to reality in two months. Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon had worked with contractors and city staff to expedite construction permits. Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Scott Murphy addressed the crowd, followed by Lucie Stanish, president of Board of Education, and AHS principal Natalie Pramenko, “I envision this as a very peaceful place where students and staff

Chevrolet SS sedan is glamorous By H. Throttle General Motors makes great cars, they always have, and one of my favorite cars was a 1951 Chevrolet two-door “Powerglide” coupe. Followed by a great 1955 black Chevrolet convertible with a continental kit on the rear. Wish that I had kept that car since it’s now a collector’s car. “Body by Fisher” was imprinted on the doorframe. They’ve had challenges in recent years but the General Motors line of car from Cadillac, Buick, GMC and Chevrolet are strong and who wouldn’t like to have a new Corvette, or even an old one? So this past week, a 2015 Chevrolet SS sports sedan was delivered to cruise around for a week and test drive. First, the appearance is outstanding and includes twin tail pipes, silver paint, side door panels; this Chevy has a retail price of $46,670.

Volkswagen Jetta SE is an efficient By H. Throttle Volkswagen is at the very top of the car manufacturing industry and so powerful they recently absorbed Porsche. This is a German engineering dream and they have always had good vehicles starting with the “People’s Car” prior to World War II that was the first Beetle car. They now have not only earned car supremacy, but have won the Soccer World Cup with a 1-0 win over spunky Argentina. The Jetta is not fancy, but solid transportation that is dependable, economical and efficient. Jetta SE has a turbo-charged 1.6 L engine that delivers 170 horsepower that is a lot of power for a small car. In addition to the performance, the vehicle delivers more than 30 mpg in fuel economy that is a computer’s delight in saving money. A light-footed driver can stretch that mileage even farther by driving efficiently and staying out of the turbo-range.

Three golfers win spots in BMW Championship BMW Championship set for Sept. 1-7 at Cherry Hills

hree lucky golfers each won a $12,000 spot in next month’s BMW Championship PGA Tour ProAm at Cherry Hills Country Club – and the Colorado Golf Association has donated $51,700 to the Evans Scholars Foundation to help provide scholarships to worthy caddies. The announcements were made Aug. 16 at CommonGround Golf Course, where the Solich Caddie & Leadership Academy is located. CommonGround is owned and operated by the CGA and Colorado Women’s Golf Association. George Solich purchased and donated the three spots in the Gardner Heidrick Pro-Am, which immediately precedes the BMW Championship. The hope was that the pro-am contest that culminated during the weekend would further incentivize the use of caddies through the Solich Academy, support the Evans Scholarship and raise awareness about the BMW Championship, which is set for Sept. 1-7 at Cherry Hills. Solich is the general chairman of the tournament and a former Evans Scholar at the Uni-

versity of Colorado. The Evans Scholarship is the sole beneficiary of the BMW Championship. Landing the three BMW Championship pro-am spots through the contest were Mike Stolze, 37, of Greenwood Village; Pete Knutson, 38, of Denver; and Andy Harwood, 45, of Denver. Each will play Cherry Hills as part of 56 groups in the Gardner Heidrick Pro-Am, with each group featuring a PGA Tour professional and three amateurs. Given that only the top 70 Tour players in the FedExCup standings qualify for the BMW Championship, it will be pretty heady company for the participating amateurs. Among the professionals expected to be at Cherry Hills are British Open and PGA Championship winner Rory McIlroy, U.S. Open champ Martin Kaymer, Masters winner Bubba Watson, Phil Mickelson, Rickie Fowler and Adam Scott. Harwood is a CU Evans Scholar alum who caddied at Cherry Hills in the 1980s, while Stolze and Knutson have never before played the prestigious course.

Make sure to eradicate mushrooms in the yard if you have kids or pets because they can be extremely toxic to both. Photo courtesy of ALCC

With kids/pets, deal with mushrooms Submitted by ALCC Have you found mushrooms popping up in the lawn or other areas in your yard? If so, you may be wondering what, if anything you should do with them. If you have children or pets, it’s wise to eradicate the mushrooms. Depending on the variety, mushrooms can be extremely toxic to dogs. They often ingest them unintentionally in the process of grazing on grass. With more than 50 types of mushrooms common in Colorado, the safest strategy is to get rid of them without creating more in the process. Mushrooms are a fungus that will sprout in lawns, and other areas in the landscape, when there is a lot of moisture. They spread through spores that thrive on wood and in moist conditions. It’s very common to see them earlier in the year when spring rains create optimal growing conditions. But anytime there is regular moisture like we have had recently, conditions can be just right for growth.

Dealing with mushrooms

How you handle mushrooms when they pop up is important for long-term control. Spraying the mushroom cap with fungicides is ineffective. The cap is just the fruit of the plant - so spraying it with a fungicide is like trying to treat an entire apple tree by spraying one apple. It won’t be effective. The cap or fruit that you see above ground produces the spores that will fall to the ground, germinate and produce more mushrooms. To control future growth, it’s best to take action as soon as you see mushrooms appear.

Here are tips to follow

Avoid kicking at mushrooms to dislodge them, as this will spread spores. Remove mushrooms before mowing the lawn as mowing also spreads spores. Do not put picked mushrooms in the compost pile, as spores will create more mushrooms.

Instead, carefully pick them using a plastic bag (such as the sleeve the newspaper comes in) over your hand. Place picked mushrooms in another plastic bag, close it and dispose of the bag. Keep the lawn mowed and mow it shorter as short grass will dry out more quickly. Longer grass retains moisture that is conducive to mushroom growth. If you find mushrooms growing in wood mulch, remove the mushrooms and turn the mulch so that it dries out. Ultimately, when weather conditions dry out, mushrooms will stop growing. And if children or pets are not in your back yard, leaving mushrooms alone is not necessarily bad either. Mushrooms help decompose organic matter and release nutrients that are good for plant growth. If you don’t have children or pets in the backyard, dealing with mushrooms is one less chore you have to do. For more information, visit www. alcc.org.

Spotlight On Business

Clean Energy Collective 800-546-0323 www.easycleanenergy.com

Clean Energy Collective shines new light on solar

Clean Energy Collective’s 11 “community solar gardens” in Colorado include a 500kw system in Aurora. Rather than selling panels for roofs, the firm sells panels located in the solar arrays of Clean Energy’s “gardens.” The result is long-term credits on customers’ Xcel Energy bills.

By Peter Jones The term “community solar garden” may not roll of the tongue with instant familiarity, but if you think about it, it makes sense. If the collective concept works for neighbors with shared ambitions for growing produce, why not apply the same idea to the sun that makes lettuce and tomatoes possible in the first place? “What we’re doing is building an industrial power plant and making it available to all the energy ratepayers that are served by that community,” said Tom Sweeney, chief operating officer for the Colorado-based Clean Energy Collective, the largest “solar gardener” in the United States. The Clean Energy model may be so obvious that it is surprising this corner of the industry did not even exist five years ago. While the solar panel-leasing trade has

created a more affordable option for many homeowners, what about the renters, businesses, and those unfortunate enough to have west-or-east-facing roofs? Enter Clean Energy Collective and its more than 40 user-owned solar arrays or gardens across the country. The firm has sold units of its integrated systems of panels, as well as their associated cost savings, to clients in multiple states. Its 11 Colorado gardens include a 500kw facility in Arapahoe County. The company is one of a handful of companies nationwide with a similar business model. In some ways, the program works similarly to leased panels, except the consumer does not use the solar energy per se. Instead, the power is sent back to the Xcel Energy grid for general use and the Clean Energy customer receives a monthly credit. Depend-

the things I’m going to have to know before I get started?” Penn said. For example, how many businesses in Englewood know anything about the city’s Commercial Catalyst Grant Program? Englewood invests in businesses by providing free design assistance, landscape improvements and matching-grant dollars for interior and exterior improvements. But you have to know to ask about it. “The business owner, landlord and city need to cooperate to make that happen,” Jefferson said. Enterprise zones and their associated state tax credits are another benefit for the asking – though some think the cities should take more responsibility to make sure businesses understand such options, as well as the municipal hoops. Englewood-based accountant Errol Roy has helped numerous business clients get started in the city and elsewhere and described situations where small businesses that could nary afford the surprise believed they were blindsided by city regulations. “It’s a bit of a challenge there and my experience was that people at the city weren’t very friendly to share that information,” he said.

ing on the time of year and one’s usage habits, a Clean Energy consumer – like a leased-panel customer – can accumulate credits in their “solar bank.” “Think of the summer months when there’s really high production and you’re on vacation,” Sweeney said. “Whatever credits you don’t use just roll forward.” Unlike other long-term solar options, Clean Energy consumers need not worry about what happens when they move or about how long they plan to stay in their homes. Instead, consumers can simply take their “panels” with them, along with their satellitetelevision and cellular-phone accounts. “The asset is transferrable, whether it’s from home to home or owner to owner,” Sweeney explained. “That means you could decide to sell your solar garden

to somebody else. Some people have moved and donated their panels to charity.” The bottom line, the COO says, is that the versatile nature of the Clean Energy product has created a thought-provoking alternative to – dare we say – the more “traditional” approaches to solar-power consumption. “I don’t think we’re going to see the rooftop model go away,” he said. “But the overwhelming majority of the market cannot put panels on their rooftop – they don’t even own their rooftop. That’s certainly true for our commercial customers.” Even local governments have staked their claim in Clean Energy’s solar garden, in part as a way to meet their own renewable-energy mandates. Cities such as Englewood have found good reason to purchase their arrays. “They can apply the bill

credit in any matter they choose – whether it’s some type of ballpark, municipal building, courthouse or jail,” Sweeney said. The Town of Breckenridge has dedicated many of its panels to low-income housing. Such arrangements have had political benefit in a period that has seen Xcel seek to lessen some of the financial benefits to solar customers. “They like the fact that these projects are available to all ratepayers,” Sweeney said of the Clean Energy business model. The executive expects improving technology to make solar power even more accessible to the public in the future. “As production goes up and price goes down, you can build more projects and make it available to a broader market,” he said.

New businesses urged to contact cities

By Peter Jones hinking about starting a small business? Add a phone call to the city’s economic-development office to the top of your start-up to-do list. That was an essential message of an informal presentation Aug. 13 at the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce’s Women in Business Breakfast. “I’m surprised at how late in the process business owners wait to contact the local jurisdiction,” said local attorney and City Councilman Joe Jefferson. “They can be a really strong partner for you and a lot of people don’t realize that.” When it comes to learning about city programs designed to help businesses or how to avoid unseen pitfalls when buying an existing operation, Mayor Randy Penn said it is never too early for a face-to-face sit down with the city’s director of economic development. “These people can tell you exactly what you can do, what you cannot do. … What obstacles am I going to find? What are some of

Jefferson acknowledged a communication problem, but said it was a two-way street requiring more proactivity from startup businesses.

“I think, Randy, you and I have to be more accountable and push some city staff,” he said to Mayor Penn. “… There’s certainly more that we can do. It’s a constant bat-

tle. It’s a constant challenge that the city faces. [But] the business owners, themselves, need to take some of that responsibility … and meet the municipality halfway.”

County test-drives new audit for election results System ‘verifies’ results – not just machine function

Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane and statistics expert Philip Stark review Republican primary-election ballots by hand in a pilot of a new “risk-limiting” election-audit method. Photo courtesy of Arapahoe County

By Peter Jones Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane has launched a nearly $20,000 pilot program to try out a new audit system designed to verify election results. The county is trying out the new “risk-limiting audit” in advance of a statewide requirement that mandates use of the system starting in 2017. Colorado law currently calls for a post-election audit that tests equipment, but does not necessarily confirm the accuracy of an election’s outcome. In contrast, Crane says the new system is built around a statistical analysis that verifies election results to “a high level of confidence.” “Our voters deserve a process they can have confidence in – one that is fair, transparent and accurate,” the Republican official said. “We believe this pilot helps move our elections forward as it will

increase confidence that election results are correct and potentially reduce the time and taxpayer resources needed to conduct an effective post-election audit.” Under a state law expiring after the 2016 presidential election, canvassing teams are currently required to manually tally at least 500 randomly selected paper ballots and compare those results to the count generated by the tabulation machines. Counties must also review the voting record from 5 percent of their electronic voting machines. Under the new auditing system, random ballots are to be pulled for inspection by a software program. The sample size is created based on the number of ballots cast, the margin of the contest and the audit results themselves as they are generated. For the pilot program, Arapahoe, the only Colorado county to institute such a program this year, is focusing on two Republican races from the recent primary election – the gubernatorial primary race in the county and the crowded GOP race for state House District 37. The new auditing system begins with a hand recount of a sample of randomly selected ballots. The sample size is based on several statistical factors, including the total number of ballots cast and the margin of victory. If the hand recount does not sufficiently confirm the outcome, more ballots are sampled until the results can be considered statistically verified. Philip Stark, the chair of the Statistics Department at the University of California and Arapahoe County consultant who designed the “risk-limiting” method, says the audit does not simply confirm machine function, but goes to the more important question of election accuracy. “Risk-limiting audits determine precisely how much handcounting is necessary to confirm election results to a given level of confidence,” he said. “The closer the contest, the more ballots one must examine to have strong evidence because fewer errors can change the outcome.” Ballots can be misread or rejected by machines for various reasons, including ambiguous marks made by voters or dusty ballots blurring the lenses of optical scanners, as once happened in Boulder. Risk-limiting audits have been successfully piloted in Ohio and California, which is considering a mandate similar to Colorado’s Arapahoe County will share its outcome with other counties and the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office.

NOW OPEN!

Tourney fundraiser announced for Greenwood Village Police Foundation By Jan Wondra The new Greenwood Village Police Foundation is up and running, its tax deductible status firmly in place and its goals out front for all to hear. “We’ve established the foundation to do three major things,” said Greenwood Village Police Chief John Jackson. “These things aren’t in the city budget. We’ve set it up to raise funds to support our police officer’s families if they are injured or killed in the line of duty. We want to challenge and lead into new technology, and we want to establish scholarships for young adults who want to go into law enforcement, but who may not have the funds to get the education required. We’d like to sponsor candidates to the police academy.” The first fundraiser for the foundation is set for Sept. 15 at Glenmoor Country Club, 110 Glenmoor Drive in Cherry Hills Village. The event will be a charity golf tournament with a unique twist; it will pair citizens with the city’s finest for a day of lunch, a round of golf, full access to the golf course amenities, including the driving range. “We really want citizens to get to meet our officers, we’re featuring the department,” said Jackson. “We’ll follow the tournament with a wrap up dinner,

complete with “major prizes.” The foundation is still seeking corporate sponsors for the event; entry sponsorships are $2,500. The charity golf event already has many prizes in place, including a new Lexus, supplied by Kuni Lexus. “A hole in one could earn you a brand new Lexus,” said Jackson. “I can’t think of a better prize than that, but we’d welcome other corporations to try. Very few police departments actually have a foundation. “Here’s my view on this,” said Jackson. “If we’re doing well, we should give back to the generations coming behind us; help our young people get the education to enter the field. Residents want to know they have the best in public safety. Not all of this is in the city’s budget, so the foundation can help realize these goals.” The charity event can take another 36 citizen-officer slots. Those interested in a foursome spot, or inquiring about a corporate sponsorship, should call Crystal Dean at 303-4868226 or email her at cdean@ greenwoodvillage.com. “People can donate to the foundation without golfing, if they’re not golf folks,” said Jackson. “We have a wonderful community event and a great cause. We hope the community can come and join us.”
