Veteran fire chief to retire TheVillagerNewspaper
Qualman oversaw South Metro-Parker merger
P
By Peter Jones utting out fires – literally or figuratively – was not part of Dan Qualman’s life plan when the freshman engineering student volunteered for the college fire department. “It was kind of a campus club. I thought that would be fun and exciting – more fun than studying,” he said with a laugh. Flash forward four decades: Qualman, 63, is preparing to step down as the longtime chief of a consolidated organization called South Metro Fire Rescue Authority. Although the career fireman would finish his engineering degree and for a time take a job in avionics, Qualman has not looked back since first donning the badge. “I realized it gave me more meaning to affect the lives of others directly than it did to be an engineer and make money for the company,” he said. After 36 years in professional
firefighting – nearly 30 as chief – Qualman’s retirement is finally official, after the merger of the South Metro and Parker fire authorities delayed his exit for several years. Although Qualman, the 2012 Fire Chief of the Year, will not clear his desk completely until January 2015, he will begin in October to help transition Assistant Chief Bob Baker into the job. “We got into the consolidation and I told the board I would stay five years – it’s been six years and things are going well here,” Qualman said. “I have no concerns about the ability of our folks to move forward without me.” After moving from Arizona in 1983, Qualman served as assistant chief and fire marshal for the Parker Fire Protection District until 1986, when he was tapped as the operation’s fire chief. When South Metro and Parker began their ongoing merger in 2008, he was appointed fire chief for the new larger regional authority. The combined operation – whose mill levies will not be united until 2016 – now covers more than 175 square miles in Douglas and Arapahoe counties, including Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village and the
Dan Qualman Denver Tech Center. Qualman’s greatest source of pride has been his department’s safety record. “I am very fortunate I have not
had a fatality on my watch,” he said. “That was one of my hopes and goals. We are better protected than we have ever been.” The chief gives much of the
@VillagerDenver
credit to advances in technology, most notably to a thermal imaging camera that provides fire crews more usable information sooner when making the often split-second decisions on the scene of a fire. “Now we are capable of seeing through the smoke, determining where hotspots are in the walls,” he said. “It’s a safety feature, but it also prevents us from having to do more damage if the wall is just hot and there’s no fire in the wall.” That is not to say everything has gotten safer in recent years. Synthetic floor joists used in new constructions can cause floors to collapse, creating a more dangerous situation for both firefighters and fleeing occupants, Qualman said. In his retirement, Qualman and his wife plan to travel. For at least a while, the outgoing chief expects to continue a consulting relationship with South Metro – a role that can generally wait through the night, weekend and holidays. “It gets in your blood and you don’t want to pull out altogether,” Qualman said. “But I would like to have a little more control of my time. As fire chief, you’re pretty much on call 24/7 365. It will be nice not to have that constant responsibility.”
Milliken gives treasurer race another go Election marks third matchup with Sandstrom
By Peter Jones From the look of things, only two people in Arapahoe County are interested in the job of county treasurer – and 2014 will be the tiebreaker between them. “It’s a very clear choice for the county voters. They’ve seen what
I can do and they’ve seen what she can do,” said former Treasurer Doug Milliken, who has been named the Democratic nominee for the position three times. Since 2006, just two names have appeared on the ballot for the job of managing the county’s finances – Milliken’s and Republican Sue Sandstrom’s – and for the last two election cycles, the
duo has taken turns at winning the purple county. This year marks a 2-out-of-3 matchup for the veteran nominees. “It’s not something you grow up wishing you were, but when the time comes – yeah, this is what I’m good at,” said Milliken, when asked about the dearth of other candidates.

ROCKING IN THE PARK PAGE 2 • THE VILLAGER • August 7, 2014
Centennial amphitheater becoming concert destination
M By Peter Jones
any city-owned amphitheaters have hosted local bands and magic shows, but few have presented reggae legends or members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Look out, Fiddler’s Green. Here comes Centennial Center Park. The newly refurbished outdoor stage at the award-winning city-owned park adjacent to Centennial Civic Center on Arapahoe Road is slowly becoming a popular concert venue for national and regional acts. This summer, the amphitheater was scheduled to host country star Joey Dee Messina and British pop legend Peter Asher, among others. “We definitely wanted Centennial Center Park to be a destination for people and I think the amphitheater adds to that,” said Allison Wittern, special-events manager for the City of Centennial. “Our intention was for it to be a place for large concerts to take place.” To that end, the city has invested in improvements to make the stage more attractive to concert promoters and touring musicians. This summer, a protective covering was constructed atop the performing area. The $750,000 project also included an expansion of the stage, new lighting, electrical upgrades and
Musicians Peter Asher, left, and Denny Laine, second from right, mingle with the stage crew after The British Invasion: 50 Years On July 30 in Centennial Center Park. Last week’s concert was one of a number of national touring acts to be booked into the city-owned facility.

other improvements. Funding came from Arapahoe County Open Space funds. The enhancements were expected to increase rental revenues for the park’s amphitheater, which can accommodate up to 3,000 people for lawn seating. A temporary fence can be erected for ticketed concerts. In addition to a range of citysponsored events, such as this Saturday’s Centennial Under
the Stars, the amphitheater has caught the attention of Local Sounds Online, which has organized a range of ticketed events in the park. A comedy festival featuring national talent is also in the works, and the city is in discussions with other promoters. Last week, the nonprofit Colorado Freedom Memorial presented The British Invasion: 50 Years On, starring the likes

of Asher (of Peter and Gordon), Denny Laine (of Moody Blues and Wings) and Terry Sylvester (of the Hollies). Although a heavy evening rainstorm plagued the concert, the show went on for a small group of dedicated classic-rock fans. Center Park’s introduction as a concert venue of note began last year when the Wailers headlined a reggae festival. Outside interest in the amphitheater has been unsolicited, according to Wittern. “At this point, they’re contacting us,” she said. “This summer, we had something going on pretty much every weekend. That’s not to say we wouldn’t reach out next year, depending on what gets scheduled.” The rental fee for the

KINDLING
D
By Robert Sweeney
riving over to Craig last week for a class reunioN, I was able to observe the sad state of Colorado highways. Sorry to report that all the traffic is wearing out the asphalt highways at an insane rate. I’m already growing weary of the TV ads promoting governor, Senate and congressional candidates. There are the ads the candidates create and then the PAC ads that are really abstract, largely untrue and nasty. I see Sen. Udall up in the mountains with Aspen trees; Cory Gardner with the family on the streets of Wray; I don’t recall seeing Gov. Hickenlooper putting quarters in downtown parking meters like he did in the last election; Beauprez is boosting his buffalo in North Park; so far this advertising doesn’t seem to address the real needs of Colorado, like traffic, highway maintenance, water, jobs and rising costs of education. Going to Craig in far northwest Colorado is a real eye opener regarding the economy. The folks in that town are scared to death about the future of the coal industry. Most of the jobs in Craig swirl
around mining of coal and producing electric power with steam generators powered by this coal. There are also daily coal trains that travel out of Craig to other power plants around the state that provide our electricity. Federal and state air quality mandates are making the power plants continually upgrade their effluents to meet rising environmental standards. Going forward, there needs to be state and federal mandates to have more alternative energy produced largely from solar and wind sources. The biggest threat to Craig jobs and the coal industry comes from the boom in fracking and the release and discovery of huge sources of natural gas. The boom in fracking in northeastern Colorado may be the demise of the coal industry in northwest Colorado. This abundant supply of natural gas can and probably will, reduce or eliminate coal from being the major source for powering these gigantic power plants around the state. It is pure economics that gas is cheaper to purchase by the power companies and burns cleaner than coal. The switch to natural gas is ongoing and the future of coal has the folks in Craig very nervous about jobs, homes and the economy. There are more than 300 homes for sale now and many are seeking jobs in other cities and states. The good news is that it is a slow process, but the bad news is that the handwriting is written pretty clearly on the wall that coal may be out of favor because of air quality issues and just the price of so much abundant natural gas. It is safe to say that once coal usage is reduced – and the demand
rises for natural gas – the price of that product will rise following simple economic principles of supply and demand. Craig does have vast amounts of open space, government lands, fabulous hunting, abundant water in the Yampa River, and easy access to the national forests. About 40 miles up the Yampa Valley, Steamboat Springs is enjoying a robust tourist industry in the summer and a booming ski industry in the winter. Real estate prices are high – while right down the road in Hayden and Craig, home prices are plunging to attractive prices. “Drive a little and save a lot” might be an advertising slogan for the local chamber of commerce to fill the homes with new residents, however much of the Steamboat trade is seasonal. Bedroom communities don’t make for good towns because people don’t have the time, or interest, to get involved in the volunteer roles that make small towns a desirable place to live, work and raise a family. Craig is my hometown where I’m a third-generation native – departed now for three decades of living in the big city. But you can’t take the country out of the boy, so I still endure the pain being felt by my Craig friends over this coal crisis. Going back to the political campaigns, there is a lot of work to be done on Colorado highways in keeping them in good repair. CDOT is doing a good job, but there is only so much money and time available to pave and repair the many miles of state highways. Other issues include the traffic jams occurring on I-70 for folks attempting to travel to the mountains for
work or pleasure on weekends and holidays. One can expect up to five-hour delays going and coming from the metro area on many summer outing with Labor Day next. I don’t think we have to expect these traffic jams as a fact of life, but traffic is heavy all over the metro area these days, as Denver becomes a major U.S. city with related air and traffic challenges. We all pay a price for this better economy we have in Denver. Candidates for office might address how they see the future of the state, how they can help the coal industry rather than hurt it, and how we can continue to promote the tourist industry that really helps rural Colorado. Many years ago when Colorado Springs businessman Steve Schuck ran for governor, he offered to trade Eastern Slope business for Western Slope water. It was a great concept, but he lost the election and the concept died. Colorado has become one of the top tourist attractions in America with good reason; we have the best climate and scenic beauty in the world. The abundant rains have turned our mountains into lush green gardens of wild flowers and beautiful valleys of plush hayfields that ranchers are now harvesting in between frequent rainstorms. The cattle are growing fat in the mountain pastures and bringing record high prices as the demand for beef increases and past droughts have diminished cattle herds. Home on the range is still alive around Craig.

Bob, Bob, Bob – After all these years, I finally agree with you on a subject. You were absolutely correct when you summed up the whole Hamas attack by writing, “Hamas wishes to deny that Israel is a Jewish State” and that, “The dispute in Gaza is over land and religion.” It is unbelievable to me that dozens of musicians, actors, authors and supposedly intelligent liberal people have chosen to speak out in support of Hamas.

Milliken, Sandstrom only 2 contenders - again Continued from Page 1
Chad David Delgadillo
Second EHS vandal sentenced By Peter Jones A second man has been sentenced in connection to late-night vandalism in January at the newly renovated Englewood High School. Chad David Delgadillo, 29 will spend five years of probation after having pleaded guilty to seconddegree burglary and arson. He had already served 90 days in jail. After the sentencing, District Attorney George Brauchler called the defendant’s actions despicable. “Delgadillo left Englewood High School drunk, after having tried to burn down the school and setting fire to the American flag,” Brauchler said. “Instead of a diploma, Delgadillo earned a felony conviction, a season of incarceration and a bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars owed to the citizens of Englewood.” Englewood Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert said he is hopeful that Delgadillo’s punishment will cause him to think twice before committing any future acts of destruction. “Mr. Delgadillo and the two other men who burned and vandalized Englewood High School destroyed some historical school artifacts that can never be replaced and damaged a school that had been custom-built for our students just two months prior,” Ewert said. “However, we are grateful to the Englewood community for standing behind us and ensuring that all that could be replaced was.” In June, Michael Alan Trickel, 23 was sentenced to five years of probation for his role in the crime. Both Delgadillo and Trickel were ordered to pay more than $200,000 in restitution to Englewood Schools and serve 1,000 hours of community service. A third co-defendant Anthony Ryan Meany, 26, has his arraignment set for Aug. 29.
The certified public accountant and former Wall Street executive, who served as county treasurer from 2007 until 2011, says he decided to vie for the job once again to return the office to what he believes would be a more proactive approach to investing taxpayer money. “I earned more than $40 million in investment earnings that paid for a lot of services that didn’t come from taxes,” Milliken said of his first term. “I would also restore my economic-development program. I would go back to cutting costs. I reduced the office staff by 10 percent and the office space by more than 25 percent.” Milliken, 57, earned his bachelor’s degree and a master’s in accounting and taxation at the University of Denver. He is a nearlifelong resident of present-day Centennial, where he served as the city’s first elected treasurer from 2001 until 2006. In the early 1980s, before transitioning into the politics of finance, Milliken was reported to be among
the youngest vice presidents on Wall Street. The former Prudential Securities executive says he managed $5 billion in assets for 500 municipalities across the United States. “It was a mean and nasty place, but I accomplished a lot of what I wanted to accomplish,” he said. Milliken saw more contention in his runs for county treasurer. His 2007 inauguration was dogged by reports of financial problems, a personal bankruptcy in the early 1990s, and an aborted foreclosure on his Centennial home. Although Sandstrom, a CPA and former Aurora City Council member, did not play up that history during the 2006 race she narrowly lost, she changed strategies in a 2010 debate with Milliken, who was then seeking re-election. “The most important thing is I would run the office with integrity,” Sandstrom told the League of Women Voters. “… These are things that matter, folks. It’s trust. It’s integrity. It’s accountability.” Although Sandstrom ended up winning the 2010 race by a healthy 9 percentage points, Milliken says
It’s a very clear choice for the county voters. They’ve seen what I can do and they’ve seen what she can do. - Former Arapahoe County Treasurer Doug Milliken he is undeterred in his commitment to stay focused on the issues. “I think I’ve shown as a treasurer that I have the skills to do the job, which has no bearing on things that happened in the past,” he said. “I’m prepared for whatever [Sandstrom] chooses to say.” More so than negative press, Milliken attributes his loss four years ago to the rise of the Tea Party during the 2010 midterm elections. “I don’t expect that to happen to nearly the extent it did,” he said. “More people are focused on their local world and their local pocketbook.”
Milliken has an advantage in a county with stronger Democratic registrations, though the unaffiliated majority of registrants and a fickle Democratic base remain the collective wildcard in a county once known for Republican dominance. Milliken says he will work hard to remind the electorate of the importance of county races as they cast ballots in higher-profile congressional contests. “Voters should realize that county officials play a much bigger role in affecting their lives than at the national level,” Milliken said. “They really should be voting from the bottom all the way up to senator.” He says the county treasurer’s office, by virtue of wise investments, can make a substantive difference in county services, and in the county, itself, when the treasurer invests in local jobs. “Making this office work produces a better county, a better experience and a better financial climate for the citizens,” Milliken said.

Avoid I-25 near downtown this weekend I-25 Gap Lane Project brings full weekend closures of I-25 beginning Aug. 8 Submitted by CDOT he Colorado Department of Transportation is moving forward with the I-25 Gap Lane Project to deliver a much-needed improvement to northbound I-25 between Santa Fe Drive and the US 6 interchange. Essentially, crews will create a fourth through lane on northbound I-25 between Santa Fe Drive and US 6. Adding a fourth lane in this area requires a significant amount of work over the weekend of Aug. 8 – 11. To minimize inconvenience to the traveling public, crews will complete this work in two phases, enabling the highway to remain open during the day on Saturday. The highway will initially close Friday, Aug. 8, at 10 p.m., and remain closed until 8 a.m., Saturday. The roadway will remain open throughout the day on Saturday. Then, Saturday night at 10 p.m., both directions of I-25 will close again, reopening by 5 a.m., Monday. Crews will begin setting closures approximately one hour prior to the full closures being implemented.

Travel Impacts
Local detour routes for the full I-25 closure include the following: Northbound I-25 will detour to northbound Santa Fe Drive, continue north to 8th Avenue, west on 8th Avenue to Kalamath Street, and south on Kalamath Street to westbound US 6 to reconnect with northbound I-25. Southbound I-25 will detour west on US 6 to Federal Boulevard, south on Federal Boulevard to 5th Avenue to merge onto eastbound US 6, and east on US 6 to reconnect with southbound I-25. There could also be delays along eastbound US 6 near I-25 with additional traffic following this detour route. Northbound Santa Fe Drive: In conjunction with this closure, northbound Santa Fe Drive will close just south of I-25 over the weekend, with traffic detoured on Mississippi Avenue to northbound Broadway and eventually Lincoln Street. Access to businesses along Santa Fe Drive will be available
via Alameda Avenue. Detour signage will guide commuters through the area. During these full closures of I-25, crews will restripe and shift northbound lanes and repave the highway, consolidating over one month of work into one weekend. “We can’t emphasize this strongly enough: avoid this area of I-25 during these closures if at all possible,” said Kevin Sullivan, CDOT project director. “We expect extensive backups, prolonged travel delays and excessive traffic congestion if traffic numbers reach normal Sunday volumes.” CDOT implores regional through traffic to avoid the area altogether by using I-225, I-70, US 285, C-470, E-470 or any other alternate route. CDOT and Kraemer and Sons, the contractor for the US 6 Bridges Design Build Project will be providing courtesy patrol free of charge to motorists in need along the outlines of this closure and throughout the boundaries of the project. “RTD’s light rail service is another option if you need to get downtown,” Sullivan said. “Realistically, the best bet is to cross I-25 off the list for that weekend and use alternative modes of transportation or alternate routes.” While crews will narrow all lanes to 11 feet and shoulders in both directions of I-25 to make room for this additional northbound lane, the benefits outweigh this tradeoff. When I-25 reopens Monday morning, northbound drivers will be able to use this additional lane to help improve traffic flow. Although this will not eliminate traffic congestion in this area, it will certainly be an improvement and will increase mobility through this heavily traveled stretch of highway. That said, due to ongoing US 6 Bridges Project work, drivers will not realize the full benefits of the I-25 Gap Lane Project until the completion of the northbound I-25 off-ramp flyover bridge to westbound US 6, currently scheduled for early 2015. The I-25 Gap Lane Project only provides a temporary fix to traffic congestion in this area, as the long-term solution will not come until funding is available to make permanent improvements to I-25 between Alameda and US 6.
But WAIT…There’s more!
The I-25 North Express Lanes Project which is adding one HOV/tolled Express Lane in each direction of I-25 beginning at 120th Avenue that will connect with the existing I-25 Express Lanes system at US 36 and I-25 is in the midst of a 50-day work period that will accommodate the lowering of I-25 pavement underneath the 88th Avenue bridge. This work will improve the vertical clearance on the roadway under the 88th Avenue bridge by approximately one foot. A single lane closure of the innermost lane of southbound I-25 between 84th Avenue and Thornton Parkway was originally scheduled for this weekend. Due to the rain over the past week, work had to be pushed back and the closure has been rescheduled for the weekend of Aug. 8. Due to the aggressive scheduling for this portion of the project is important that this work be completed quickly. Delaying the work by only one weekend is crucial to keep the project on track for completion. “This portion of the I-25 North Express Lanes project has been reduced to 50 days from the original 100 days in order to minimize the impact to the traveling public,” said Andy Stratton, project engineer for the I-25 North Express Lanes. “In order for us to remain on schedule we must move forward with this closure as quickly as possible despite weather delays.” This work will be highly impactful to motorists traveling southbound I-25 in this area and with the full closure of I-25 only a few miles south that same weekend CDOT encourages motorists to avoid I-25 throughout the Denver metro area and to use alternate routes throughout this entire weekend.

DA’s Citizens Academy starts in September Five-week class covers many aspects of criminal justice District Attorney George Brauchler has announced the 2014 Fall District Attorney’s Citizens Academy. The free five-week academy for citizens of the 18th Judicial District will take place on consecutive Wednesday evenings, Sept. 24 through Oct. 29, from 6 – 9 p.m. Classes will be held at the Douglas County Justice Center, 4000 Justice Way in Castle Rock. Each class will explore the District Attorney Office’s role in different parts of the criminal-
justice system. The academy will give students an in-depth look at what happens on a case between the time of arrest and post-conviction. In addition, students will get to explore the different functions of the specialized units within the District Attorney’s Office, including the Special Victims Unit, the Economic Crimes Unit, the Cold Case Unit, Crime Scene Investigations, county court, appeals, and Juvenile Justice. Students will also have the chance to learn the intricacies of a jury trial with prosecutors. “Our Citizens Academy is designed for members of our community who want to
learn about our office beyond what you see on TV and read in the newspapers,” Brauchler said. “With more people learning about how justice is attained through the judicial system, the more informed our community will be of a system that may seem very foreign to them.” Participants must be at least 18-years-old, complete the application and pass a criminal background check. There are limited spaces available and preference will be given to first-time students. Applicants can download the application at www.da18.org. For more information, call 720-8748500.

Five men indicted in murder of war refugee Sudanese man killed in case of mistaken identity By Peter Jones An 18th Judicial District grand jury has returned indictments against five suspects in the murder three years ago of a local Sudanese war refugee. Youn Malual, 43, had been shot in the early morning hours after Christmas Day 2011. His body was found in his sports-utility vehicle Amin El-Howeris in the parking lot of the apartment complex on South Xenia Street in unincorporated Arapahoe County where he lived with his family. District Attorney George Brauchler said the indictments returned July 25 would be the first step toward justice in the case of a family man who fled a civil war in his home Devon Grantcountry six years before Washington the murder. “Thanks to the tireless efforts of the dedicated law enforcement officers at the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office and members of my office’s Cold Case Unit, Mr. Malual and his family have been able to see this first step in a process that may help them get the justice they deserve,” Brauchler said. The five defendants – all in their 20s – are Devon Grant-Washington, Brandon Jackson, Urocca Guyton, Amin El-Howeris and Bruce Roberts. All have been charged with first-degree murder, except Roberts, who has been charged with accessory to first-
degree murder. All are in custody. According to a report from the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, Malual was killed when he was mistaken for an intended victim who lived in the same building. Nothing was stolen from his vehicle. Urocca Guyton In 2005, Malual, his wife and children escaped their homeland during the fighting that eventually created the independent nation of South Sudan. The family resettled in the Denver area. The Sudanese civil war ended in 2011. Malual is survived by his wife and five chilBrandon Jackson dren who now range in age from 5 to 20. Sheriff David Walcher’s office conducted the investigation with assistance from the Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force Fugitive Unit, and the Aurora and Denver police departments. “Due to an incredible Bruce Roberts amount of work and perseverance on the part of our investigators and great cooperation and support of the District Attorney’s Office, our community will be safer and now we can seek justice for Mr. Malual,” Walcher said.

Corrections shooter gets 288 years Man gets enhanced sentence due to past convictions By Peter Jones A 47-year-old man is expected to spend the rest of his life in prison after pleading guilty to a shooting last year at a corrections center in Englewood and receiving a 288year sentence. In addition to numerous attempted-murder and assault charges, Francis Xavier Pizzo, 47, was charged with three habitual-criminal charges and three counts of using a weapon in a violent crime. Both are sentence enhancers.
Francis Xavier Pizzo On the night of the incident in June 2013, Pizzo, a former client at the Arapahoe County Treatment Center Corrections Center in Engle-
wood, returned to the facility, retrieved a rifle and shot two people, including a staffer who suffered serious injuries. Pizzo had been listed as an escapee from the center two days before the shooting. District Attorney George Brauchler said, “Francis Pizzo shot and tried to murder those who were trying to help him stay out of prison, where he will now begin serving a sentence longer than we have been a nation. While even this outcome cannot restore to the victims what was taken from them, justice is knowing that this man will never be allowed near any of them for the rest of his life.”

Centennial personal property tax
In the July 31, 2014 issue of The Villager newspaper, there was an article about the recent action taken by the Centennial City Council to exempt up to $100,000 in personal property from Centennial’s share of the business personal property tax. The article mentions, “at the $100,000 level, 96 percent of Centennial businesses will no longer owe any personal property tax.” As the Arapahoe County treasurer, I fully support the actions of the Centennial City Council to limit the tax burden on the businesses within their city. However, I want to make it very clear that those businesses will remain subject to the business personal property tax imposed by other taxing districts, such as the school districts, library, fire and recreation districts, among others. The newly enacted exemption only applies to the City of
Centennial portion of the business personal property tax. Property tax declarations will continue to be required to be filed with the Assessor’s Office. The property tax notices issued by the Arapahoe County Treasurer’s office in early 2015 will reflect the exemption. No application or action by the affected businesses is required. If you have any questions, please contact the Treasurer’s Office at treasurer@ arapahoegov.com or 303-795-4550 and we will be happy to help you. Sue Sandstrom Arapahoe County Treasurer
The choir: Harmonious diversity
Last weekend, as I savored the moving voices of a fine choir, I wondered: Why does any song performed by joined choral voices – even a skilled barbershop quartet – thrill us so
deeply? I always enjoy singing, and a jolly group sing-a-long ensures us all good fun. But mostly, we amateur vocalists sing the melody together or perhaps attempt only a few simple two-part chords. The rich, stirring sound of complex chords needs blended diverse but harmonious voices. Each voice, from soprano to bass, is essential. The one-size-fits-all unanimity of a sing-along, though fun for a short while, can never yield that lasting richness. Conversely, for a solo we can each go our own way, singing in a different key or a different rhythm, but a choir sings concordantly. Harmonious diversity requires respectful cooperation yet equally values all its components. That equality rewards for all. Peg Brady Centennial

Goodwill Home Store celebrates grand opening in Centennial
T
he first-ever Goodwill Home Store opened on Aug. 2 in Centennial. The kickoff party was included a ribbon cutting with the South Metro Denver Chamber at 8:45 a.m. Approximately 200 people attended the opening ceremony, and hundreds of people arrived to shop throughout the day. Happy shoppers left with bargain purchases of couches, dressers, artwork, lamps, patio furniture, end tables and more. The event was held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and featured refreshments and do-it-yourself demonstrations by Rit Dye, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and Painthappy Designs, along with prizes including a flat-screen television giveaway. Rit Dye, traditionally used to dye fabric, debuted a new line that demonstrators used to dye a table blue and black. Annie Sloan Chalk Paint painted end tables with chalk paint to illustrate how creative customers can breathe new life into products. Painthappy Designs demonstrated repurposing ideas by creating a wreath out of used book pages and wine cozies out of sweater sleeves. Items found in the home goods store will be collected from the organization’s 18 standalone donation

Training will take place at Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club from Sept. 7 through Oct. 17 and will include an eight-week membership to all participants. Marda Zechiel, yoga manager at GATC, said, “Greenwood Yoga’s Teacher Training promises to enrich, inspire and change your life. Greenwood Yoga’s Teacher Training is for anyone whether you want to deepen your practice, pursue a career as an instructor or create a part-time opportunity for yourself while you care for your children or add it as a second career.” A 2012 study by the Yoga Journal found that yoga has grown from 15.8 million practitioners in 2008 to 20.4 million practitioners in 2012. Yoga is a growing practice in America and the need for teachers will only increase as the amount of practitioners gets higher. According to a US News and World Report article titled, “Yoga Teaching Increasingly Popular as a Second Career.” According to Bill Harper, publisher of Yoga Journal, “The combination of growth of people participating in yoga and the recession has caused a lot of people to do it as an ad-

‘IMAGESó OFó AMERICA’ COVERS A LOT OF COLORADO TERRITORY America books, Irish Denver is fun to read and eloquently tells the success story of Colorado Irish and their wonderful legacy. As the authors tell it, the first Irish Coloradans were miners in Nevadaville (near Central City) and Leadville. Some, known as terriers, worked on the railroads. In the early days, Irish women who worked out of the home were usually domestics. By 1900, however, the Irish population in Denver had soared, and successful Irish businessmen were making their mark, such as John Kernan Mullen, founder of the Colorado Milling and Elevator Company. Irish immigrant Thomas Patrick Walsh became a multi-millionaire with his gold discovery at the Camp Bird Mine in the San Juan Mountains. Tom Walsh entertained President Howard Taft at his Wolhurst mansion and purchased the Hope Diamond for his daughter, Evalyn Walsh McLean. The book also delves into the history of the Irish labor movement, particularly the United Mine Workers and Irish widow Mother Jones, a fiery 80-year-old labor leader. The Irish Catholic Church in Denver also figures prominently, as do the Irish Catholic politicians like former Mayor Tom Currigan and former governors Steve McNichols and Bill Owens.

ith the publishing industry in decline, it’s become harder for Colorado history buffs to find affordable and easily accessible books on local history. Enter the “Images of America” series, which can be found anywhere from Amazon.com to Walgreens. Published by Arcadia in Charleston, S.C., Images has carved a niche in a certain market, publishing thousands of books on local history. Originally, the quality of photographs left a lot to be desired, but Arcadia has come a long way in the last few years. The books all look somewhat alike, with the same dimensions and a sepia-toned photo relating to the topic on the cover. Not to be dismissed, these ubiquitous paperbacks each tell the story, primarily through historic photos with some explanatory text, of a neighborhood, a landmark, an ethnic community, local architecture or hundreds of other topics sometimes given short shrift in other history books. A lot depends on the talents of the storyteller, which varies, along with the quality of photos, always black and white. The three publications listed below are particularly well done.
Denver’s Historic Homes By Amy Zimmer
Zimmer is a talented historian who also has published an Arcadia book on Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. Her treatment of
historic homes is very professional, although somewhat esoteric for those not familiar with architectural particulars, (A glossary of popular styles with short descriptions would have been helpful, as well as an index.) To her
credit, Zimmer focuses as much on the owners as she does on the houses, which makes the book more interesting. Photos include homes long demolished, like Silver King Horace Tabor’s mansion at 17th and Broadway, where his first wife, Augusta, lived out her life minus the errant husband. Some of these spectacular structures are still standing, although many have been repurposed. The elegant domain of society queen Louise Hill at 9th and Sherman, for example, now serves as law offices. Tweet Kimball’s glorious castle in Sedalia is now a museum and performing arts venue and the elegant Grant-Humphreys mansion, now owned by the Colorado Historical Society, is an event venue. Apartment and commercial structures are occasionally included, as well as drawings and cityscapes.
Irish Denver By Dennis Gallagher, Tom Noel and James Patrick Walsh
Irish Denver is by far one of the best books on Denver history Arcadia has produced, perhaps it because it was written by three college professors who are also excellent writers. Denver City Auditor Dennis Gallagher and Colorado historian Tom Noel are local celebrities known for their sharp wit and comprehensive knowledge of local history, while Jim Walsh is founder of the Romero Theater Troupe, which brings nontraditional political history to the general public. Longer on text than many Images of
Denver’s Washington Park
By Sarah O. McCarthy
One of the city’s finest remind-
ers of late 19th and early 20th century Denver, the Washington Park neighborhood is distinctive both in architecture and population. Designated one of the “Great Public Spaces in America” by the American Planning Association (2012), the park was primarily designed by architect Reinhard Schuetze. Wash Park opened in 1899, a glowing example of Mayor Robert Speer’s “City Beautiful” efforts. Allegedly, the twin lakes were originally a buffalo wallow. Although the author does not make this clear (a map would have been helpful), the neighborhood can be divided between the eastern and western sides with Downing Street as the dividing line. Each side has its own distinct characteristics and neighborhood association. The Park area was originally part of South Denver, which annexed to Denver in 1894 after the Silver Crash of 1893. One of the city’s most ecologically conscious neighborhoods, Wash Park has for the most part stayed true to its original plan. Architecture is chiefly bungalow style, craftsman and Italianate, with a few Denver Squares thrown in for good measure. This book is well written and informative, and provides impressive photos of the area, including a 1920s aerial of the park. An index would have been useful, but these are rare in Images publications. According to the book’s biography, the author is a 30-year Washington Park “activist.”

FFF July movie to hit theaters nationwide
A
By Clarissa Crozier full theater greeted writer and director José Ortuño, from Spain, and his film The Extraordinary Tale. The film screened July 16 at The Landmark Theatre in Greenwood Village as part of Film Festival Flix that brings the best of independent films to the area. The Extraordinary Tale will be released in theatres for longer engagements this fall as part of qualifying the film for Indie Spirit Award consideration. In a film full of metaphors, this story explores the topic of motherhood. Reality and fantasy meet when two damaged misfits fall in love during a pen-pal courtship. He and She (not given names in order to make their roles more universal) are fun loving and innocent to the world but fragile and damaged by their pasts. They dive into sex, love, marriage and baby-unprepared to be parents. “Bringing a child into the world is perhaps the one task that requires the greatest responsibility,” Ortuño said. “So often, parents enter this world completely unprepared to take on this task. … Just as people need a license to drive a car, there should be license to have a child.” This is the issue dealt with in The Extraordinary Tale. Ortuño, who attended the Greenwood Village screening and fielded audience questions, explained that though his film was made in Spain, it was filmed in the widely universal English language to separate the story from any particular culture or location. “The Extraordinary Tale will be released in theaters starting in
New York and Los Angeles this fall,” said Benjamin Oberman, FFF CEO. “It will play for at least one week, and based upon critics’ reviews and ticket sales, it will platform to more cities and theaters around the country.” According to Oberman, people can also request screenings to bring The Extraordinary Tale to their city though the FFF website at filmfestivalflix.com/liveevents/in-theaters. “We’ll book screenings in other markets when there is sufficient demand,” he said. This film won a number of 2014 festival awards including Best Actress for Ballmann at Film Bizarro Movie Awards, Best Foreign Film at Atlanta Horror Film Festival and Best Director at Festival De Cine De Fuengirola. It was the Official Selection at the London Spanish Film Festival. The film will be made available for streaming, download or DVD purchase on FFF after its theater run.

life management decisions. This film is a perfect synergy of athleticism and adventure in the extreme as well as conservation and scientific breakthroughs for the world. Life Cycle Project, by Debora De Napoli, takes viewers through her struggles as she awaits results to see if she has the deadly ovarian-cancer gene that has taken the lives of both her mother and sister. First time filmmaker, De Napoli, shares her journey as she starts the charity Life Cycle. This is an adventure that sends De Napoli, a cubicle-dweller, mountain biking up (and falling down) nine harrowing summits in the Canadian
Rocky Mountains. The Healing of Heather Garden by Judith Morrow tells of a journey from permanent disability with progressive multiple sclerosis to full health. Eleven years after she regained her ability to walk unaided, Garden remains in vibrant health in this inspiring story that focuses on her journey to healing. Another Happy Anniversary by Miranda Bailey presents a feature film in 20 minutes. Bailey, a Denver native, shares one couple’s unique way of celebrating their anniversary in a film that is original, funny and clever.

‘MORE THAN A LUXURY’
Cade Clinique: A center, not just a salon
T
By Jan Wondra alk for any length of time with Georgina Sanchez, the founder and owner of Cade Clinique, and you realize that you’re speaking with a woman who is driven by quality, with a dedicated clientele that spans the entire metro area. Quality doesn’t come cheap, nor did it come easy for this long-time entrepreneur, who began her career in insurance. She got a wake-up call in 1983. “I got laid off from my job and decided right then and there that I’d never work for another company unless I owned it,” Sanchez said. Sanchez set a plan in motion that, some 31 years later, is a full-service skin-care, massage and salon center located at 2350 S. Colorado Blvd. While Cade Clinique has been in the same location for the past 17 years, Sanchez began by working first from her home, and then put in stints at some of the area’s well-known department store cosmetic counters, where she learned skincare from the inside out. Today, walk into her center and you feel as if you are retreating from the world. “We repair what the world takes out of us, our skin, our hair, our bodies, our spirits,” said Sanchez, whose quiet manner is offset by her expressive eyes. “This is a serene place where we offer

custom services to clientele with a lot or a little money. We’ve pioneered services like spa treatments; we were the first in Denver to offer this.” The list of services at Cade Clinique is impressive; more than simply a spa, it’s a skin care center. The large spa area offers everything from European facials and acne treatments to chemical peels, full waxing services, electrolysis, laser hair removal, body waxing, spa body therapy and expert body massage. A separate hair salon offers cuts, color and just about everything else you need for hair, feet and nails, all of it in response to client needs. “We grew into a custom service center because clients come to us with a wish list,” said Sanchez. “They would say, ‘I want to feel better,’ ‘I want my skin to feel like it used to,’ ‘I can’t find a place to get a real massage,’ ‘I’d love a place with a hair salon.’ So we added these things and much more.” There is another, major difference between Cade Clinique and other, low-cost centers. There is no skimping on the quality of the active ingredients. A manicure or pedicure is not simply a manicure or pedicure, Sanchez said. The quality of the

ingredients themselves makes a difference in the results. “Every product we offer is the highest quality. One example, our Alexandrite hair removal laser is the best on the market. We installed the best laser equipment, inspected regularly, so our clients can be certain that they won’t be overexposed to dangerous levels during treatments,” she said. “Our skin care items have the highest percentage of active ingredients; much higher than retail products or those used at low-cost salons. People say, ‘but it says it has collagen.’ Yes, but how much? Do they have a legitimate research center to test the product ingredients? Are the skincare products

Over the past two years, SMDRA’s leadership team has been focused on making the professional organization the best Realtor group in Colorado and among the best in the nation. “Over the past several months, we have been focused on making SMDRA the best professional organization in the country,” said Carroll. “Our past and current leadership are very involved in the association, and our full-time
staff is a truly dedicated group. We need to be a productive, worthwhile group that helps our membership obtain their goals in the highly competitive real estate business. We also work together as a family to achieve our goals. Everyone does their part, and we all work to our particular strengths. I am very pleased to have been involved during this successful membership campaign.” During the past two years, SMDRA has enhanced its website to include more comprehensive information on helpful events, educational classes, current trends and developments, and market information. Members can also find information about SMDRA’s charitable endeavors, the association’s annual Diamond Circle Awards celebration recognizing
top producers, and upcoming meetings. SMDRA prides itself on being able to not only gain but retain members through superior customer service and benefits to its members. SMDRA also formed a Strategic Task Force headed by Gary Morton, who helps guide the association’s goals. Melissa Maldonado, who serves as Chief Executive Officer of SMDRA, was instrumental in helping the association achieve their goals. Steve Konecny is slated to be installed later this year as Chairman of the Board for 2015. For more than a half century, SMDRA has provided real estate professionals with the resources they need to help them grow and prosper in the real estate business.

Etiquette The most requested topics for this Etiquette space is about texting. For your offspring off to college in the next few weeks here is perhaps the most important tip: rush week means the new college student may be doing the rounds to various fraternities and sororities, with the student and group sizing each other up for possible bids. Put the smartphone on vibrate and unless there’s a real emergency, ignore the phone and make eye contact instead. Remember basic etiquette as well. Keep chewing gum stashed away, be careful around offered foods and don’t come off as ravenous. At the dorm food lines, if you spill something, clean it up and alert a cafeteria worker of your situation. No wolfing with bulging cheeks as no one’s going to snatch your tray away. Allow plenty of time to eat with dignity. The freshman 15 (pounds) is real and I write from experience. If your fitted clothes start getting tight, it’s time to select less food and focus instead on fellow students and conversations. Earbuds tune other people out so wear them sparingly. Ditto with cell games. Leave Angry Birds alone and if you’re addicted to any of this, try
to wean yourself off it and take time to listen to and literally “smell the roses” on campus. Facebook isn’t what you came to college for, so limit your time there and again, focus on those you are around or want to be around. If your student or you are off to a college in a different climate, be prepared to need special clothing and search the web for average daily temperatures for each season. When snow came down one morning on a campus in Arizona, one of our offspring was the only one with a warm jacket in the entire dorm. Likewise, purchase some items before packing so you are prepared for freakish weather anywhere. Learn to layer items and pack solids that can be mixed and matched. Roommates: One University of Denver roommate I had brought five ticking clocks to college. It was like a proverbial Chinese torture. Keep your dorm space clean. Be respectful of a roommate’s religious beliefs and needs, and establish ground rules for visitors.

Crosswind Concepts, Ltd. now open for business at Centennial Airport
C
rosswind Concepts, Ltd., a unique aviation training center based in Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Broomfield, recently opened a second training facility at Centennial Airport in Englewood. CC focuses on one of the most crucial – and one of the most deficient – aspects of flight training: crosswind landings. “The No. 1 weather-related aviation accident is crosswind landings,” CC Lead Instructor Paul Dickson said, “but the only crosswind training most pilots get is in the cockpit when they encounter a crosswind. That’s a risky scenario for developing proficient crosswind skills.” Dickson said CC’s mission is to fill this training void, something the company accom-
plishes with the Redbird Xwind simulator. “A student gains more crosswind landing experience in one hour in the Xwind than the typical private pilot gets in at least two years of flying,” he said. “And it all takes place in a controlled, no-risk environment with zero chance of aircraft damage.” Crosswind Concepts’ Manager Taylor Albrecht said the Xwind device not only enhances the skills and confidence of pilots in crosswind conditions, but has actually changed some student pilots’ lives. “Students who were about to quit or wash out of training showed remarkable improvement in landing skills and confidence after taking one of our sessions,” said Albrecht. “Xwind training encouraged and enabled them to continue their
pursuit of aviation goals.” Pilots of all ability levels have benefitted from the training offered by CC, from student pilots and jet captains to aerobatic competition champions. “We are delighted to bring our programs and an updated Xwind simulator to Centennial Airport, where a significant number of pilots in the region pursue their aviation dreams and careers,” Albrecht said. An open house, including Xwind demos, was held July 11 and 12 in the CC facility at Centennial Airport. Additional information, including Xwind training videos, is available online at www.CrosswindConcepts Ltd.com, or by phone at 720536-0543.

Cooper sponsors 11th annual Rocky Mountain Fly Fishing Classic Mark Cooper, a leading broker associate with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Greenwood Village and former Denver Bronco, is sponsoring the 11th Annual Rocky Mountain Fly Fishing Classic to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis research in the Aspen and Basalt area on Sept. 25 – 27. The event raises money “To Catch the Cure” for Cystic Fibrosis, a life-threatening disease that affects approximately 30,000 children and adults in the United States. The competition is one in the RedboneLarge series of tournaments held in 26 spots throughout the U.S. and the world. The Aspen tournament is a strict catchand-release, point accumulation tournament for wild trout – rainbow, brown and cutthroat. Twenty-five boats with two anglers are paired with one of the Rocky Mountain’s world-class fishing guides, providing participants with an extraordinary fly fishing experience – “Cadillac” fishing amidst the beautiful fall foliage of the Rockies. Many of the boats have been spoken for, but there’s still time to “snag” a place in this outstanding competition. Anglers will meet at the Taylor Creek Fly Shop on Thursday, Sept. 18, to register and meet the guides. On Friday, anglers and their guides will fish either the Roaring Fork or the Colorado Rivers. On Saturday, they’ll switch and fish the other river. Professional guides from the Taylor Creek Fly Shop
will lead unparalleled fishing adventures. Friday evening will feature a dinner program at the Tempranillo Restaurant in Basalt. Saturday evening the awards will be distributed to the winning anglers and guides at the Riverside Grill on the waters of the Frying Pan River. The Rocky Mountain Fly Fishing Classic has raised between $30,000 and $65,000 each of the past 10 years to help in the fight against CF, a life-threatening genetic disease. CF afflicts the respiratory and digestive systems and reduces a patient’s life expectancy to 37 years. The monies raised buys science including innovative research and the science is helping to save lives. Cooper has been a top producing broker associate at Coldwell Banker for the past 23 years and has helped more than 1,200 clients buy and sell their properties. He is a former Denver Bronco. He played four years with the Denver Broncos (1983-1986) and three years for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (19871989). While with the Broncos, he was a member of the 1986 AFC Championship team that played the Cleveland Browns in the famous AFC Championship game labeled “The Drive” and in Superbowl XXI in Pasadena, California, against the New York Giants.

Off Broadway – way, way off Broadway New York playwright finds home in Greenwood Village By Peter Jones ot many New York playwrights come to Arapahoe County to hit the big time, but like the song goes, “If [you] can make it there, [you] can make it anywhere.” “I miss New York so much. If the cost of living weren’t so high, we would be there, no question,” said Colette Mazunik, who traded Greenwich Village for Greenwood Village last year – ironically, to make it easier to pursue a career in theater. The problem with the theater capital of the world is … well … it is the theater capital of the world. Just to make the rent, Mazunik had to keep a full-time marketing job, leaving her little time to follow her true passion while allowing her musician-spouse to eke out his own career-hobby in Manhattan’s pay-toplay music scene. Mazunik, who has a number off-Broadway plays to her credit, convinced her husband to accept a music-director position last year at Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church. That way, the couple could relocate to the Denver area – sort of like an ambitious Hollywood actor talking his wife into packing up for Toledo, Ohio. “This is where he found a job where the cost of living was such that I could move down to part-time in my day job and spend more time writing,” Mazunik explained. “There are things about this area I’m growing to love. The weather is certainly a lot better here. The mountains are gorgeous.” The climate must agree with the New York writer, who has not let her Colorado address interfere with her theatrical ambitions. Her play, The Matthew Portraits, is being presented in the Big Apple this week as part of the prestigious 39th annual Samuel French Off-Off-Broadway
N

As a playwright from New York, people might have different assumptions than if I was a playwright from Ohio. - Colette Mazunik, Greenwood Villagebased writer Short Play Festival. Manhattan’s oldest, continual short-play festival is a competitive event, in which productions are judged by a panel of theatrical professionals. The Matthew Portraits is one of 30 semifinalists that were selected from nearly 1,400 submissions. And when Samuel French says, “short plays,” the contest means, “short.” “If you go over 30 minutes, they literally stop you and disqualify you,” Mazunik said. The competition also strictly adheres to the Actors’ Equity union rules pertaining to what constitutes an off-off-Broadway play – most notably in the size of the Peter Jay Sharp Theater, where the festival takes place. “They’re literally reconfiguring it so it only has 99 seats or less,” Mazunik said. Keeping the drama within pizzadelivery range has its challenges, but the 36-year-old writer has gotten used to packing a punch into a half hour or less. Her produced works – some as brief as 10 minutes – have included vignettes on “dates from hell” and arguments over religion. At 25 minutes, The Matthew Portraits takes place in the emotional confines of a dormitory room as a college student painting nude
models raises the eventual consternation of her insecure roommate. “One-act short plays are good for telling just one storyline and one conflict,” Mazunik said. “Some of my longer ones tackle larger social issues. I have a couple of longer plays that deal with issues of homelessness in various ways.” Originally from Iowa, Mazunik first went to New York to earn her master’s of fine arts from the Actors Studio at New York University. In the years since, her plays have been produced in the city’s schools, festivals and small theaters. Two of her plays have been adapted into short films. Now in Colorado, the playwright has ventured to make inroads to the Denver theater community while continuing to create new works on a near-full-time basis. “Being from New York works as a calling card,” Mazunik said. “When I introduce myself as a playwright from New York, people might have different assumptions than if I was a playwright from Ohio. But I still have to make the connections and the work has to stand on its own.”

11th Annual Art & Ale Brew Festival set for Aug. 15 By Valerie LeVier he Art & Ale Brew Festival will be held on Aug. 15, 6 – 10 p.m., at the Wildlife Experience Museum. The event is in its 11th year and is an annual tradition for many people in the community. This is a last hoorah to summer, as the evenings start to cool down and people want to enjoy one last outdoor event. Art & Ale began as a promotional event to encourage new visitors to come out and explore the museum. A beerthemed event was a great way to generate publicity and bring in an older than 21 crowd. The museum wanted to expand its demographic and reach by gearing certain events toward adult patrons like Art & Ale, Wine & Art and events that are held throughout the year, which include Whiskey and a Western and Movie and a Martini events. The Wildlife Experience
T
Museum boasts an expansive courtyard and a unique building that allows for large-scale events. The staff is encouraged to think outside the box and utilize the grounds in as many different ways as possible. “We want people to think of us as a place to go to learn, explore and have a great time,” said Christopher Goetz, special events and development coordinator. Art & Ale is the second largest fundraiser for the Wildlife Experience, with a crowd of 2,000 participants expected. The overall atmosphere is a party with more than 50 craft breweries, wine and liquor vendors, and more than 20 restaurants participating. Guests are welcome to walk through the galleries and exhibits within the museum. Also, Mix 100 is onsite and live music from the ‘80s cover band, Flock of Beagles. A create-your-own-art station is new this year, courtesy of Bottle and Bodega. An
ice sculpting demonstration will also be featured. Goetz stated that the community impact over the years has been substantial. “We now partner with local hotels to offer ‘worry-free’ packages, and they consistently sell out their room blocks, which really helps our local economy. We benefit from the increased exposure, and every year we have people who tell us it’s their first time at the museum. They come back with their families, seeing a movie or having lunch at our café; so in an ancillary way, Art & Ale will affect our attendance for the rest of the year,” Goetz said. For more information or tickets, visit www.thewildlife experience.org or call 720-4883300. The Wildlife Experience is located at 10035 Peoria St., Parker.

BLM competitive coal lease sale in Delta County nets $2.9 million
“Silhouettes, silhouettes …” The Jerseys open the show with a tribute to 1950s doo-wop groups. Photos by Peter Jones
IT’S A ‘JOISEY’ THING The Jerseys may be from Colorado, but they channeled the Four Seasons and other East Coast vocal groups at the Englewood City Center Amphitheater on July 31 as part of the city’s free Sounds of Summer concert series.
The Bureau of Land Management leased a 1,790-acre tract for $2.9 million to Bowie Resources, LLC. to develop approximately 8 million tons of recoverable coal adjacent to the Bowie II Mine in Delta County. In September 2013, the BLM and the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests jointly released a final environmental assessment to determine the scope of the coal lease application filed by Bowie Resources, LLC. and address the cultural, socioeconomic, environmental and cumulative impacts that would likely result from leasing these coal lands. A variety of mitigation measures were included in the decision to offer those acres for a coal lease, including protections for: Wild and Scenic Rivers, Threatened and Endangered Species, migratory birds, state priority species, and vegetation and water resources. These protections will help ensure that coal mining in the
area continues to be conducted in an environmentally sensitive manner. Bowie currently operates the Bowie II Mine, which produces roughly 3.5 million tons of coal annually within the Uncompahgre Field Office. Bowie II Mine employs approximately 377 employees, with an annual payroll of approximately $26 million. The BLM’s open, competitive leasing process awards the lease to the high bidder who successfully meets or exceeds the fair market value of the coal, which is determined by the BLM. In Colorado, there are currently eight producing coal mines (six underground and two surface) encompassing 66,000 acres. In Fiscal Year 2013, coal energy production on BLM Colorado public lands directly contributed $734 million to the economy, generating royalty revenue of $42 million and accounted for 5,936 direct and indirect jobs in Colorado.
Four Littleton programs finalists for government awards
With no stoop to be found, the Jerseys settle for the stage stairs for a little streetcorner harmony.
“… I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink.” Jersey Paul Dwyer teaches kids the demanding lyrics to “Love Potion No. 9.”
Four programs created by the City of Littleton have been named finalists for the 2014 NATOA Government Programming Awards. The winners will be announced Oct. 2 in St. Paul, Minn. A show profiling six major home remodels in Littleton, entitled “I Found My Dream Home in Littleton” was nominated in the Profile of a City/County Department category. The 20-minute segment gives tours of updated homes and insight into the variety of housing types and neighborhoods available in the city. The program, “Coloradans Helping Coloradans – September 2013 Flood,” was also named a finalist in the Documentary – Event Coverage category. The video tells the story of a Longmont neighborhood trapped by the 2013 floodwaters, expressed through the words and photographs of a sur-
vivor and his rescuers. Littleton Fire Rescue’s Water Rescue Team used its specialized skills to assist the Longmont Fire Department during the natural disaster. “Littleton History Moment – Wolhurst” profiles the manor house on the Wolhurst property that burned to the ground on March 29, 1976. The segment was recognized in the Documentary category and explores the manor’s illustrious past with ties to the Hope Diamond and organized crime. The video “Summer Youth Programs,” honored in the Public Education category, highlights several of the educational and fun summer events available for teens and pre-teens in Littleton. Viewers get a glimpse of various programs, including: Adventures in History, Mini Fire Academy, First Job, Bemis Talent Show and Teen CSI.

2014 Toyota Corolla TAKES ALL THE PRIZES
“L
BY H. THROTTLE et’s go places” is the Toyota theme and never has that statement meant more than when driving the new 2014 Corolla S Premium four-door sedan. Wow, what a great car and the price is stunning for such a fine product at $21,570 loaded with special equipment and even a sunroof. This has been Toyota month with a number of test-drives in various Toyota brand vehicles, including the Avalon that is such a fine car, but has a higher price than the Corolla S. Toyota uses many similar parts in all of their vehicles and their continuous variable transmissions are terrific. The Corolla even has paddle shifts behind the steering wheel for easy gear changing. However, with using the drive gear the car just changes the power train to meet the occasion without having to shift anything making for a very easy drive in the mountains. The transmission complements the peppy 1.6 L four-cylinder engine that provided an average of 37 mpg
during the test drive. Really outstanding fuel economy, power, ease of driving, comfortable seating, and attractive dash, all add up to a great driving experience. The Corolla has so many extra features like the new Smart Stop technology that prevents the driver from rear-ending a slowing or stopped vehicle while texting, talking or site seeing, a really great new safety feature found in Toyota products. There are also air bags galore, including driver’s knee-bag. Child door locks easily locked or unlocked with an inside door control switch. The Denver area heat was contained with a very favorable air conditioning that seemed to work very efficiently and still allowed the Corolla to produce stunning fuel economy. The car easily accommodates five passengers and has a large trunk space for luggage and golf clubs. In every car, the drive is so important; is the car easy to handle? In all instances, this Corolla was just great. This is due to top-quality McPherson struts, like the racecars have on the front of the car – and

There is a safety system that includes front and rear disk brakes, along with the latest Toyota Star System of brake technology features. The Corolla even has a leather wrapped steering wheel, fancy hubcaps and a rear deck spoiler. The metallic “Blue Crush” paint shimmers in the Colorado sunlight and the car looks like it’s ready to go to the track, but the mountains suffice and the car performs quite well even in the traffic creep engulfing Colorado
drivers heading into – and back from – the mountains. No engine heating, air conditioning going full blast and the fuel gauge hardly dropping at 37 mpg. This is a car for the ages, including the family, the departing college student, the man or woman of the house who likes performance and
economy. We all like a bang for the buck and the Corolla is an amazing bargain at the current pricing. Advice to Toyota, this car deserves a better name that is more profound to describe the excellent performance.

BY H. THROTTLE t isn’t often that I tear up when the car representatives come and take back the test cars, but it almost happened recently when they took back the 2014 Toyota Avalon Limited. This vehicle just looked majestic parked in the driveway. The metallic paint shimmered in the sunlight with black clouds moving in overhead, threatening another rain and potential hail pummeling. I would brave the elements to put this masterpiece in the garage, no matter what. The 2014 Toyota Avalon hosts a 268-horsepower engine married to a six-speed variable transmission that works perfectly. One can shift from drive into a fourth gear that provides that neck jerking acceleration when pulling onto E-470 where bold drivers are doing 80 mph. A dashboard that resembles a decorative private jet ensemble awaits the driver. The premiumperforated seats are comfortably trimmed with leather and cushion extension features. The driver enjoys 10 seat adjustments and the passenger has six seat choices. Beautiful “Escape” channel 69 plays exotic music on the 11-speaker sound system. The paddle shifters make for a smooth transition into any gear, and as the car ahead slows rapidly, the SST system brakes the car automatically, which is known as Smart Stop Technology. Backing up is one of the major sources of accidents. The clear screen features a Bluetooth picture

FORD FUSION ENERGI SE
THE FUEL MISER
T
BY H. THROTTLE he Ford Fusion Energi SE design is very attractive; the ride is excellent, has leather seats and comfortable controls. This is a desirable Ford motor product with the hybrid package raising the price to $40,585. I really like the Fusion design, but I’m not a fan of hybrid products based upon the future of battery-powered vehicles. It is my belief that this technology will literally run out of gas in a few years with hydrogen cells and power packages still in the mind of automobile engineers. If your really interested in this technology, the Ford Fusion systems work well. The battery system will travel about 20 miles on electric charge. A convenient plug in attachment is located in the trunk to recharge the system. When the battery charge ends, the Fusion automatically switches to
the 2.L engine that alone will average more than 40 mpg. The combined mileage running on the motor rather than electricity averaged 49 mpg. My suggestion and interest is in the Fusion without the “Energi” battery package. I think this Fusion would be terrific with the 4-cylinder turbo engine or a V-6 package. Ford pioneered the eco-boost 4-cylinder turbo engine that produces outstanding horsepower and fuel economy. Bottom line, buy the Fusion, and skip the battery technology and economic 2 L engine. The Fusion performs well with the smaller power plant but for such an attractive car, most drivers’ economy and performance. The Fusion really is a fine automobile and deserves consumer attention, but go for the larger engine and skip the batteries for now.
T
BY H. THROTTLE he new Ford C-Max Energi is quite a pleasant driving surprise. The power and performance of this hybrid is formidable along with 39.7 mpg in a combination of battery and gasoline engine power. After 20 miles, the C-Max shifts smoothly to the 2.L engine that is admirable in performance. The power train and transmission work well together and this little car is a real eco-booster roadster built on a Focus chassis. The power train shifts so easily from battery to gasoline depending upon driving conditions. There is power galore and fuel economy is greatly admired.

Outside of the power train, the C-Max is comfortable, roomy, drives very well, handles easily with comfortable and includes a 10 waydriver seat. The C-Max has Ford’s foot power tailgate lift that came into use loading some flowers for planting. Warranties now cover the batteries for eight years or longer with strong Ford warranties, similar to gasoline-only models. Fuel savings are estimated to be only $950 a year using the plug-in battery boost feature and a $6,750 savings over a five-year period. This car is the real deal and can save money and perform well. Not inexpensive, the cost for the C-Max is $37,220 assembled in good old Detroit, Mich. Dealers can offer specials and for Eco minded drivers this is a very strong choice.
The cost for the Ford C-Max Energi is $37,220.

Rain postponed major lane limitations
By Tom Barry The expedited reconstruction of the Arapahoe and Jordan roads intersection continues at an even faster clip. Due to nearly three inches of rain last week in 48 hours, the major traffic lane restrictions were postponed for a few days. “Phase 2 will have the most restricted movement where no left turns on any leg of the intersection and no through movements on northbound and southbound Jordan Road will be allowed,” said Crystal Morgan, a spokeswoman with the Colorado Department of Transportation overseeing the project. CDOT’s contractor is planning on having the intersection completed within a 20-day period, which began the last week of July. Crews from Hamon Contractors are working 24 hours a day for the most part, seven days a week. The deluge of rain last week hampered the fast-track activity. “Pedestrian access will be limited or eliminated during this time. … The intersection will be completed in three phases. The duration of each phase will range between five and seven calendar days,” said Morgan. The benefits of the reconstruction of the intersection include a

CCSD students earn KINDLING REMARKS on ACT perfect score
GLORYUS GOINGS O
Six students in the Cherry Creek School District earned a perfect 36 on the ACT test given to all Colorado high school juniors on April 23. One of the six is Daniel Book, now a senior at Cherry Creek High School. “I was really surprised, very happy,” said Book, who said he didn’t Robert doByany specialSweeney test preparation. “I took it once before and got a 33, but that was my only preparation. I didn’t buy a book or take a class.” Each year, less than one-tenth of 1 percent of the students who take the ACT earns the top score. Among the test takers in the graduating class of 2013, only 1,162 out of 1.8 million students earned a 36.

Social media: The pros, cons for the college-bound COLLEGE PLANNING: Searching for solutions
By Estelle Meskin
It has become apparent over the past few years that our lives are no longer private. If we engage in social media, we are only 4.3 degrees of separation from everyone in the world. To understand the scope and breadth of this fairly recent phenomenon, just think, if Facebook was a country, it would be the third largest in the world. The power of social media is indisputable. It helped to create the Arab Spring. It exposed Iran’s phony election results a few years ago. In the business realm, employers now vet the online reputations of job candidates as a matter of course. Cyber bullying causes irreparable harm to children and teens. Research shows various forms of social media are utilized by 73 percent of all Internet users and 90 percent of those ages 18-29. Knowing the power and ease of access to these tools, it is important for teens to recognize their value and pitfalls. If you’re planning to attend college in the next few years, it’s especially important to understand the negative impact your Facebook and Twitter information can possibly have on your prospects as an applicant. New research from Kaplan Test Prep suggests that online scrutiny of college hopefuls is growing. “Students’ social media and digital footprint can sometimes play a role in the admissions process,” said Christine Brown, the executive director of K-12 and college prep programs at Kaplan Test Prep. “It’s something that is becoming more ubiquitous and less looked down upon. Given the impulsiveness of typical teenagers, however — not to mention the already fraught nature of college acceptances and rejections — the idea that admissions
officersSCHOOL would covertly nose around MATTERS the social media posts of prospective students seems more chilling.” A student responding to a writing assignment in response to the above statements, said, “… institutions of higher learning should use social media as a means of gaining more information on an applicant’s personal life and how that personal life affects the professional world. Interviews can make a person look like a paragon of virtue on the outBy one Judith side, but lookBaenen at their social St. Mary’s Academy media can reveal their true character for better or for worse. If a Catholic school is looking at an applicant who posts pictures of himself drinking, partying, and posting rude comments about teachers, why should the school accept that student?”
Colleges have a big presence on social media
In fact, it exceeds that of students on Twitter and You Tube. Recently released figures from the 2013-14 Almanac of the Chronicle of Higher Education indicated 95 percent of all colleges reported a presence on Facebook in 2012. Eighty-five percent had a presence on Twitter and 83 percent on YouTube. One of the earliest admissions directors to adopt social media was Matt McGann, a 2000 alum of MIT. He was personally responsible for humanizing the institutional face of MIT. Colleges have invested considerable time, money and personnel to create an identity or “brand” on Facebook, Twitter and blogs. Students can follow the colleges that appeal to them by establishing accounts with the colleges and accessing valuable information that will enable them to differentiate between schools. A significant benefit is that more and more colleges will note which students follow their college on social media as a sign of “demonstrated interest.” On the flipside, how many colleges actually scrutinize a student’s Facebook page and Twitter feeds? Apparently it is a growing practice with approximately 30 percent of college admissions officers Googling or visiting an applicant’s Facebook page. This number will surely grow. Cindy Crawford, an assistant director of admissions at the University of Georgia believes
many see social media as the “true view” of a student’s character. A recent article in the New York Times was titled, They Loved Your GPA. Then They Saw Your Tweets.
Opportunities exist for creating positive impact
Creative students can share their accomplishments in numerous intelligent ways that would surely impress people in admissions offices. By Jim on Miller A student’s identity Twitter and Facebook can add immeasurably to his college application by promoting his creativity, talents, knowledge and values. Conversely, students should learn to clean up their social media footprint. They should review and set their privacy settings and monitor to see who they allow in. Be selective of names of only those friends who are trustworthy and responsible. Refuse people who might have negative comments about you. Controls are currently underutilized. Use them to manage your Facebook and control security. According to my teen gurus, Instagram and Twitter are where social media is happening now. Many students use Facebook as a front but communicate more frequently with these. On Twitter, make sure your Handle is clean and professional. Delete old, inappropriate tweets and remove embarrassing pictures. Even, consider starting fresh. Ask yourself, if you were a college admissions officer looking at your social media, would it be impressive or destructive. Use it to enhance who you are and not destroy your college opportunities.

Nancy Todd, Isaac told his grandmother, a councilwoman-at-large, that it would be an honor to meet the president of the United States sometime. As Iaaac’s grandfather is Bill Holen, a Democratic Arapahoe County commissioner, the couple decided to keep their eyes and ears open for any potential opportunity for that to happen. The couple then learned from a friend, Carolyn Boller, secretary of the Colorado Democratic Party, that President Obama would be coming to Denver’s Cheesman Park for a private event on July 9. Although U.S. Sen. Mark Udall was
keeping his distance, that was not the case for young Isaac. “We pounced on the opportunity,” Debi Holen said. Boller and the Holens scrambled to obtain a couple of tickets. After numerous phone calls and some luck, the active Democrats scored two VIP tickets to the event that would be attended by several hundred party loyalists. “Meeting the president was important to Isaac because the president and him have similar [biracial] backgrounds, and it was important to me to help Eleven-year-old Isaac Lozoya, grandIsaac understand that your son of Arapahoe County Commisbackground doesn’t have sioner Bill Holen, shakes hands with to influence where you go,” President Obama during a recent Denver visit. Holen said. Photo courtesy of Debi Holen Not surprisingly, Isaac was thrilled by the surprise that in line and were initially seated on the side of the stage. Minutes day. “Wow, I can’t believe we are before the event began, a staffer going to meet the president,” discreetly nodded that he had found two seats, front row, center Isaac told his grandmother. The two were amongst the first stage.
The enthusiastic pair listened to Obama’s 40-minute talk about his accomplishments and the ongoing stalemate in Congress. At the end, the president left the stage and greeted some in the crowd. “The president shook Isaac’s hand and said ‘cool shades,’ and then asked how old he was,” Holen said. “It was very cool. It was a picture perfect. It was just meant to be. Isaac was on cloud nine on the way home. Isaac said, ‘I don’t feel my feet on the ground. I know it just happened. I just can’t believe it. I shook the hand of the president.’” While Lozoya’s parents are not Obama fans, they were delighted that their son had an opportunity to meet the president. The Holens said they would not be surprised if their grandson – who will be going into the eighth grade at Vanguard Classical School this year – went into politics eventually.

Study reveals eye exams show potential to help detect Alzheimer’s New studies reveal that changes in the eyes could help detect the development of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease before the appearance of clinical signs, according to the results of research trials reported this week at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Copenhagen. Two studies presented at the conference identified beta-amyloid plaques in the retinas of people with Alzheimer’s – similar to those found in the brain – suggesting the possibility of simple, non-invasive methods of early detection. Beta-amyloid protein is the primary material found in the sticky brain “plaques” characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease. It is known to build up in the brain many years before typical Alzheimer’s symptoms of memory loss and other cognitive problems. These amyloid plaques can also be found as deposits in the eye. Studies found that these deposits can be detected through noninvasive eyeimaging technology and that the deposits are highly correlated with amyloid results from brain imaging. “This is encouraging news in the fight to put an end to Alzheimer’s disease,” said Linda Mitchell, CEO and president of the Alzheimer’s Association Colorado Chapter. “As the number of those affected by Alzheimer’s disease continues to grow, there is a pressing need for less invasive diagnostic tests to identify the risk of this disease before clinical symptoms. Clinically, at this time it is only possible to detect Alzheimer’s late in its development, when significant brain damage has already occurred. Studies like these researching biological markers of Alzheimer’s disease will help detect it at an earlier stage. Scientists presenting study results at the conference explained that the technology used in the studies could potentially help with initial screening that could complement what is currently used: brain PET imaging, MRI imaging, and clinical tests. More research is needed in the very promising area of Alzheimer’s biomarkers because early detection is essential for early intervention and prevention, when new treatments become available.

Jet’s Pizza takes off in CO First store located in Littleton Great news for pizza lovers in Colorado. Michigan-based Jet’s Pizza has landed in Littleton at 7935 S. Broadway. This is the Michigan-based chain’s first Colorado store – the 17th state for the rapidly-expanding franchise. Jet’s Pizza has built its reputation on its signature Detroit-style, deep dish square pizza with the crunchy crust. Single slices of deep dish square are always ready to grab and go. The 1,600 square foot store, near West Mineral Avenue in the Market at SouthPark plaza, also offers salads, subs, wings, Jet’s Bread and Jet Boats. “Our family has vacationed in Colorado for the past seven years
and fell in love with this area,” said John Jetts, co-founder and vice president of marketing. “We are excited to introduce our pizza to this great state.” The corporately-owned location creates two to three full time management positions and 20 to 25 part-time jobs for pizza makers and delivery drivers. Jetts said the company plans to open two additional Colorado stores in the near future. “I’m not sure who to kiss and hug and thank profusely for the Jet’s Pizza opening in Littleton, but thank you,” wrote Hilary Osborne of Centennial in an email to the company. “We moved here from Michigan four years ago and this (news) will make my husband’s day!” For more info, call 303-7071100 or visit www.jetspizza.com.
