Helpers honored for heroic actions South Metro Fire honors citizens who stepped up to help out in times of need By Chris Michlewicz [email protected]
When a bystander steps in to save a life, victim and rescuer are usually complete strangers.
Yet it turns out that Bob Marlin knew those who rushed to his aid on the fi rst tee box at The Meadows Golf Club in south Jef-ferson County. In fact, he had trained them to use the automated external defi brilla-tor that brought his heart back to a normal rhythm.
Marlin, believe it or not, had been a driv-ing force behind the installation of that very AED when he worked for the West Metro Fire Protection District — the department that serves the golf course.
Marlin is now with neighboring South Metro Fire Rescue, the agency that pre-sented a lifesaving award to the employees of The Meadows and West Metro respond-ers during a standing-room-only ceremony July 28 at the authority’s headquarters in Centennial.
His daughter, Cameron Marlin, made it a point to attend the awards ceremony, where she delivered an appreciative hug to each of the people who made sure her fa-ther survived his scare.
“It’s nice to meet them outside of a hos-pital setting,” she said.
Coincidentally, Marlin also knew the doctor who was standing over him when he awoke at the hospital. He greeted the doc enthusiastically until Marlin realized why he was there.
The recognition for Marlin’s rescuers was far from the only feel-good moment of the night.
The other heroes recognized during South Metro Fire Rescue’s annual citizen awards event were each met with thunder-ous applause for their actions. Fire Chief Dan Qualman said they each went “over and above what’s reasonably expected.” That includes Castle Rock resident Brian Lindeman, a trained EMT who works for Lockheed Martin’s emergency services di-vision.
Lindeman was a few vehicles away from a horrifi c crash in which a cement truck
pulled in front of a woman on a motorcycle at U.S. 85 and Airport Road, just north of Sedalia. The victim was in bad condition; her throat had been punctured, and Linde-man held her in such a way that she could
continue to breathe.“There is no doubt about it,” said Mar-
cos Mocine-McQueen, the South Metro

South Metro Fire Chief Dan Qualman shakes hands with Art Cales, who was saved at Lifetime Fitness in Parker by Kate Jureller, center. Jureller and three others were honored July 28 for coming to the aid of Cales, who su� ered cardiac arrest.
Other citizen award recipients include: • Robert Rinne, a South Metro fi re-
fi ghter who was off duty when he ad-ministered CPR on a woman who was eating at Maggiano’s. He also cleared her obstructed airway before medics arrived.
• Joseph W. Ratcliff II, Bryan Schoff, Deborah Hall, David Tegtmeyer and Chris Sharp, who helped residents es-cape a burning apartment building in Centennial when the stairwell leading outside was blocked by fl ames. They pitched in by putting mattresses in the bed of a pickup truck so residents on higher fl oors could jump safely.
• Joseph Sprague, Jackson Bishop and Troy Seim, who attempted to save a Castle Pines boy who was run over in June by a vehicle he had been playing in.
Qualman said not every attempt to save a life has a happy ending, but he noted that the men gave paramedics a fi ghting chance when there otherwise would not have been one.
• Mike Keefover, who administered CPR and used an AED to save a man who went into cardiac arrest at Centennial Airport.
• The team of Safety Shepherds at Lincoln Meadows Senior Living, who are responsible for assisting with emergency situations, including nighttime evacua-tions.
• Kate Jureller, Kate Tillman and Mike Staheli, who all stepped in to save Parker resident Art Cales, 51, when he went into sudden cardiac arrest at Lifetime Fitness in January.
I-25 project set to start this month ‘Lane balancing’ will widen highway By Jane Reuter [email protected]
Two and a half years might sound like a long time to add two, three-mile-long lanes to Interstate 25, but state offi cials said the lengthy construction period was created in deference to the traveling pub-lic.
The $32 million to $35 million “lane-balancing” project, which will add a lane to I-25 in both directions between Lincoln Avenue and County Line Road, will begin by Aug 20. It’s set for completion in De-cember 2016.
Why so long?“Because it’s I-25,” Colorado Depart-
ment of Transportation spokeswoman Crystal Morgan said. “We can’t do a lot of work on I-25 during the day, so almost all of the work has to be done at night and on weekends.
“You’ll see a lot of work being done during the day, but we are required to maintain those lanes. We will have re-duced speed limits, and that does cause backups. So you will see some disrup-tion.”
Fracking initiatives dropped Gov. Hickenlooper and Polis reach deal — task force created By Vic Vela [email protected]
Voters will not be weighing in on hy-draulic fracturing this November after all.
Gov. John Hickenlooper and U.S. Rep. Jared Polis announced an 11th hour deal on Aug. 4 to create a special task force to address issues surrounding fracking — the very day that signatures to put frack-ing on the November ballot were due for submission to the Secretary of State’s Of-fi ce.
The task force is part of a deal that the two Democrats reached in the days lead-ing up to the announcement that will also end efforts by Polis to place two anti-fracking ballot initiatives on the Novem-ber ballot.
Later in the day, pro-fracking groups said they too will drop their own ballot initiative efforts, suddenly ending what was gearing up to be a ballot box fi ght that was expected to be costly — both in terms of campaign advertising dollars and po-tentially in political price for other candi-dates seeking offi ce this fall.

‘Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can’ Stuff.Most of us have lots of it.Cristin Bleess and her husband, Adrian
Horner, did.But by the time March 13 rolls around,
the day they leave for Albania with the Peace Corps, their possessions will amount to this:
• An antique pie cupboard refi nished by Adrian’s mother and given to them as a wedding gift
• A coffee table made from the win-dow of Cristin’s grandparents’ Minnesota farmhouse
• A cedar hope chest that belonged to Cristin’s aunt fi lled with items such as a childhood photo album and a few framed photographs
• Two fi ling drawers of tax returns, Social Security information and other documents
• Camping and backpacking gear• A couple of bicycles• Two suitcases each of clothing“It’s amazing how much stuff you have
that really isn’t sentimental or even used or even appreciated,” Adrian said as he considered what they have let go. “The thrill of discovery is almost better than the thrill of having.”
The journey to de-stuff began late last fall when Cristin, 41, a Spanish teacher, and Adrian, 38, a software tester, decided to change the course of their lives.
“We just wanted a new adventure,” Cristin said.
They contacted a Realtor with the intention of putting their three-bedroom home on the market in January, met with a fi nancial adviser and, after exploring op-tions, decided to apply to the Peace Corps, which requires a 27-month commitment.
Meanwhile, they began deconstruct-ing their belongings, much of it unique, original folk art collected from countries they’d visited in Latin America or antiques with personal connections or collections of one-time passions that refl ected eras of their lives.
“Our stuff wasn’t stuff you can buy at Pier 1 or Target,” Cristin said. “It’s stuff we had both collected through travels or through family or through interests. We
thought about it a lot.”They checked into storage costs — $200
a month. Too expensive.They considered disposing of some,
keeping some. But the storage cost issue remained, and family didn’t have enough space to offer.
Then Cristin saw this Facebook post: “Collect memories, not things.”
And that was it.She said to Adrian: “Let’s just get rid of
it all.”They began in the basement, with
holiday decorations and unopened boxes that had followed Adrian and Cristin from place to place.
High school yearbooks.Adrian’s ACT scores.The 1,500 to 2,000 comic books of
“Fantastic Four,” “Avengers,” “X-Men” and others that Adrian had collected in elementary and middle school.
The military memorabilia collection that started with Adrian’s grandfather’s WWII medals and included a Civil War bayonet and a WWI helmet.
Cristin’s beloved sticker collection, which she began in fi fth grade and contin-ued for several years, building it into what she called the best collection, even orga-nized by categories such as teddy bears, unicorns and hearts.
It all easily sold through postings on social media garage-sale sites or consign-ment to niche stores.
“I took my grandfather’s insignia out and sold all of it,” Adrian, a college history major, said of the military collection. “It went from a big box to a couple of med-als.”
Cristin became Facebook friends with the woman who bought her sticker collec-
tion, one of the possessions to which she was most attached.
“It’s probably the fi rst thing I ever was passionate about and that I did on my own,” she said. “I spent my own money on it and took care of it and was invested in it. Like I said, it was the best collection.”
Next came the kitchen. Dishes. Pans. The box of cake-making utensils given to Cristin by her mom, a baker of wedding cakes.
Books — avid readers, they donated boxes of books to the local library.
Clothing.For staging purposes, closets should
look empty to help sell the house, Adrian said. So “we got ruthless with our cloth-ing.”
“You have so many clothes you never wear,” Cristin added. “As a dual-income, no-kids couple, you just accumulate stuff and you don’t always think before you buy it…”
They took three to four lawn-size trash bags of clothing to fi ve different consign-ment stores from Castle Rock to Boulder, the rest to Goodwill.
On Jan. 1, they listed their home and moved in with Adrian’s mother. They also moved some furniture to her basement and all the folk art.
Adrian’s mother took the two-and-a-half-foot tall, colorful, ceramic church, a thrill-of-discovery fi nd by renowned Mexi-can potter Candelario Medrano chanced upon on the fl oor of a Santa Fe gallery, and a metal red heart that “spoke” to Cristin in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico.
Except for four other pieces, they delivered all to a consignment store near Tucson. The ones they held back include a smaller Medrano church, and a fruit bowl and clay fi gurines of a couple on a park bench made by the Mexican artist Josefi na Aguilar, whom Cristin met on the same trip during which she met Adrian.
“I wanted to take them with the other stuff to Arizona,” Cristin said, “but Adrian wanted to think about it more.”
“I probably fought harder on keeping things in the folk art collection,” Adrian said. “I have a lot of fond memories of the things we’d done together, and the stuff in
the house reminded me of that. I recog-nized the fact I couldn’t just go to Wal-Mart and buy them again.”
Travel has played a meaningful role in their lives and relationship.
A high school trip to Mexico ignited Cristin’s passion for Spanish, which became her career. An acclaimed teacher, she taught the language for 18 years until the school year ended in May.
She was traveling throughout Mexico in July 2003 when she met Adrian at a hostel in Oaxaca. He was three months into an 18-month bike trip he started in Cali-fornia and ended in Argentina. Until his return to the Denver area, they communi-cated through emails. Then, they visited between Denver and Minneapolis, where Cristin was teaching at the time, until she moved here in 2005. They married two years later and have journeyed together through 13 states and four countries. The anticipation is building for Albania, which is unlike any place they’ve been.
“It’s that thrill, the excitement,” Adrian said. “I think that’s why we both love to travel — we don’t know what we’re going to get.”
When the house sold in March, they moved most of the furniture to the base-ment of Adrian’s mother’s home and put it on Craigslist. Eventually, it all went.
The red couch with the two chairs, one green, one a patchwork of colors, and a geometric-design rug.
The queen bed, full bed and twin bed.The dining room table and chairs.Bookshelves.The antique wardrobe and dresser.Lamps.Patio furniture.The antique washstand.Cristin delivered the dresser her uncle
made in his high school shop class to her second cousin in Loveland.
Adrian also sold the ‘93 black Geotrack-er he had started driving his junior year in high school.
The fi nal piece of furniture, a TV cabi-net, sold three weeks ago.

Speaker shoots wildlife in the nicest wayBy Sonya [email protected]
“Our Wonderful World of Wildlife” is Russ Burden’s title for his 20-minute program that features photos of mam-mals, birds, insects and more, photographed both locally and during the nature photography tours he conducts.
Slides are accompanied by music, offering a mini-es-cape from reality. He will present the program for the En-glewood Camera Club Aug. 12 in Centennial. Guests and new members are welcome to this longstanding club (60
years), according to member Steve Johnson.Burden, a Parker resident, teaches locally and travels
across the U.S. and around the world, connecting photog-
raphers and nature. He replied to our inquiry from Glacier National Park, where he is conducting two tours, photo-graphing the spectacular scenery and wildlife.
His website offers a nice hint for those who can’t con-template a long journey to Africa right now: zoo photog-raphy. He offers suggestions for equipment to take on a “Safari to the Zoo” and wryly comments that it’s easier to get a close-up shot there.
He also offers “10 Ways To Become a Better Photogra-pher” on his well-organized website: RussBurdenPhotog-raphy.com.
IF YOU GOThe Englewood Camera Club meets at 7 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month, except December, at the Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit, 6400 S. Uni-versity Blvd., Centennial (south entrance). Guests and new members are wel-come. Information: englewoodcameraclub.net.
“Curious moose calf,” was photographed by Russell Burden. He will speak to the Englewood Camera Club on Aug. 12 in Centennial. Courtesy photo

A person on hospice care is nearing the end of life however still desires social interaction and meaningful relationships. Whether at home or in an extended care facility, you might just sit and talk, play cards, sing together, go for a walk in the garden, or play an instrument for the patient. The amount of time spent volunteering depends on you. Opportunities range from 30 minutes a month to several hours a week.
Volunteering is a blessing that enriches the lives of both patients and volunteers, the experience is often
immensely rewarding for both.

“I felt like a weight was being lifted every time something went out the door,” Cristin said. “I felt lighter. … It was not even about the money. We haven’t gotten rich — we’ve lost money. It just feels good — freeing.”
Adrian agreed. “It feels like you have a lot of choices — you’re not weighted down by all the possessions.”
They might have thought differently about the downsizing if they had children. But their belongings, they say, don’t hold the same sentimental value to nieces and nephews.
And being unencumbered by things, they say, gives them a freedom to pursue new passions wherever they take them.
“Whatever,” Adrian said, “we want to
do.”But nothing that requires having a lot
of stuff.Cristin mentions an old radio ad that
described the Mile High Flea Market as a place where the under-stuffed come to get stuff and the over-stuffed go to sell stuff.
“I want to be the under-stuffed,” Cristin said. “I don’t ever want to be the over-stuffed again.”
A little place will be fi ne.Big enough to hold only basic necessi-
ties.But with unlimited room for all the
memories.

Carbon-regulation debate hits Denver Opponents of proposed rules fear � scal impact By Vic Vela [email protected]
A national debate over proposed new clean-air rules swept through Denver last week, resulting in a values clash of job security and environmental protection that attracted visitors from the around the country.
Denver was one of four cities chosen by the Environmental Protection Agency to hold hearings on proposed power plant regulations that are aimed at combating global warming. The two-day hearings were held beginning July 29 inside the EPA’s Region 8 offi ce in lower downtown Denver.
Through implementation of the agency’s new plan, Presi-dent Obama’s administration has stated it hopes to cut car-bon-dioxide emissions by 30 percent over the next 16 years. Supporters of the proposed regulations view the rules as a necessary step toward addressing the impact of global warm-ing.
“This is the issue of our time,” said Chris Arend of Conser-vation Colorado. “If we don’t take action we’re going to see a much different Colorado in ways we don’t really know.”
At the same time the conference was being held, several opponents of the proposed rules rallied in Denver’s Lincoln Park on July 29 to denounce the regulations. Many were coal advocates who said the EPA regulations would kill jobs and cause energy prices to skyrocket in an already heavily regu-lated industry.
“This is the way I make my living,” said Bill Jones of Craig, a mechanic at a coal mine. “We have a hard enough time as a society with energy costs as it is anyway and I don’t want to see prices go up — and I’m trying to protect my job.”
Coal-burning power plants like the three that operate in the Craig area would be impacted by the new regulations.
Colorado is one of the top coal-producing states in the country. However, coal production has dropped over the years along with demand.
Still, miners like John Simonet, also of Craig, say their com-
munities depend on the industry and that increased regula-tions would only hurt them more.
“If this goes through, unfortunately everyone will probably have to go elsewhere to fi nd work and probably even, worst-case scenario, create another ghost town in our neck of the woods,” Simonet said.
The EPA considers the greenhouse gas that emits from power plants to be the country’s largest source of carbon pol-lution. The organization says the pollution is a signifi cant contributor to global warming and can have long-term im-pacts on the environment and public health, as supporters of the regulations tried to convey over two days of testimony here and in Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Washington.
State Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, who is the chairman of the House Transportation and Energy Committee, testifi ed on behalf of the regulations July 29. He said afterward that any industry job loss would pale in comparison to the economic impact that would continue to occur if climate change isn’t taken more seriously.
“As we change the climate, there’s going to be millions of jobs that disappear,” said Tyler. “There’s no comparison at all between what’s going to happen in the next 30 years and the fact that the coal industry has to change.”
Tyler and Arend said that Colorado has already taken the lead nationally in stemming carbon emissions. They point to recent legislation that has increased renewable energy man-dates on utility companies and rural electric cooperatives, as well as other state regulations that promote natural gas and that have helped to clean up coal plants.
States would have leeway in how they implement the ad-ministration’s rules. Because of that, Arend said he doesn’t see much of a job impact at coal plants because Colorado has al-ready put in place strong regulations.
“In Colorado, we’ve taken a lot of steps and we’re well on our way to meeting what the EPA is asking us to do,” he said. “If Colorado doesn’t have to do a whole lot more, I don’t see how that can impact those jobs.”
But Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez doesn’t buy that argument. He said prior to speaking at the Lincoln Park rally that energy industry regulations are already having an adverse impact and that adding more rules is an “ill
conceived” policy direction on the part of the Obama admin-istration.
“All of us want clean air and clean water,” Beauprez said. “The people that are closest to the industry ought to be con-cerned about negative impacts more than anybody, and they’re the ones here saying, `Let us keep our jobs.’ We have never done energy cleaner, safer, more effi cient in the history of mankind. That’s something we ought to celebrate, not pun-ish.”
But supporters of the regulations say complacency is not an option.
“I hate to say something extreme,” Tyler said. “But there is absolutely no doubt that humans are destroying the climate that allows us to have an economy at all. There is no doubt at all that humans are causing serious climate disruption. It’s as certain as gravity.”

VA overhaul garners praise By Vic Vela [email protected]
Congress last week passed a bill aimed at reforming the Department of Veterans Affairs, an agency that has been the subject of intense scrutiny over a number of de-partmental failures.
The $16 billion legislation would provide money for new VA medical facilities and the hiring of more doctors and nurses.
The bill would also allow veterans to see doctors out-side the VA system if they are unsuccessful in obtaining
an appointment.A congressional conference commit-
tee worked to merge efforts by the Sen-ate and the House of Representatives and came up with a compromise bill that passed the Senate on July 31 with over-whelming bipartisan support. It passed the House the day before.
“I think veterans are going to be bet-ter served now and the VA is going to be a better organization by veterans being able to vote with their feet if they’re not
getting adequate care,” said Rep. Mike Coffman of Au-rora, a Republican and veteran who serves on the House Veterans Affairs Committee.
The bill is a response to several alarming departmen-tal failures that came to light in recent months.
A federal audit shows that more than 57,000 veterans have waited at least three months to see a doctor, while others who asked for appointments never received one. Some veterans died while waiting for an appointment.
Other fi ndings have shown that VA employees — whose bonuses are tied to wait time reductions — falsi-fi ed reports to hide information about long wait times.
The scandal led to the resignation of department di-rector Eric Shinseki in May. The Senate on July 29 con-fi rmed Robert McDonald as the department’s new sec-retary.
The bill would require that the agency send veterans to private health providers when the department is un-able to provide care within 14 days. The legislation would also ban bonuses for VA employees and puts in place greater oversight over the department’s operations.
Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Golden said he is particularly happy about being able to provide funding for more doctors and nurses, which he hopes will put an end to extraordinary wait times for appointments.
“I think this is going to benefi t our veterans in both the short term and long term,” Perlmutter said.
“Our veterans have made incredible sacrifi ces and we owe it to them to fulfi ll the promises we have made,” said Republican Rep. Cory Gardner of Yuma. “What’s happened at the VA over the last several years has been shameful and unbecoming of the type of respect and the oath we have made, the solemn obligation we have made to our vets.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Harmonious diversity through voiceLast weekend, as I savored the mov-
ing voices of a fine choir, I wondered: Why does any song performed by joined chordal voices — even a skilled barber-shop 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 at-tempt only a few simple two-part chords.
The rich, stirring sound of com-plex chords needs blended diverse but harmonious voices. Each voice, from soprano to bass, is essential. The one-size-fits-all unanimity of a sing-a-long, 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 re-spectful cooperation yet equally values all its components. That equality rewards for all.

Life is a conveyor belt toward � nal checkout Pat Bowlen has Alzheimer’s. There is no
known cure.It is very diffi cult to watch a life in
descent. By now, most of us have probably been through it — or we are going through it right now.
My dear friend Ruth, 96, thought we were married.
My aunt thought I was my cousin Linn.I left Michigan on a Tuesday, I was in
Highlands Ranch on Wednesday, and I was back in Michigan on Thursday. My mother didn’t know I had left, and I was staying with her.
My father couldn’t eat, drink, walk or talk. It was nearly impossible for my sister and me to watch. He was in the hospital for the fi nal eight months of his life.
It was unfair.Our mother was in her kitchen one day,
in a hospice the next, and gone a few days after that, but our father took his time.
I guess it has been known for some time that Bowlen was experiencing short-term memory loss and other signs of Alzheim-er’s, but most of us didn’t fi nd out until July 23. The story dominated the Post, to the extent that there was no editorial page.
Amy Van Dyken was told to say her good-byes. After her recent ATV accident in Show Low, Ariz., she was told to say good-bye to her husband. She said good-bye, but she wasn’t going anywhere. It is one of the best stories of 2014.
There have been a lot of lousy stories this year, but when I get down on them, I
check in on Amy.She is going to compete in a 26.2-mile
marathon in her purple wheelchair with her brother by her side.
I am certain that Amy will be more ac-tive than I am, even though she is para-lyzed from the waist down, and I am fully ambulatory. It’s likely that years of athletic discipline prevented the accident’s out-come from being worse than it was.
Respecting life means something to me. And respecting death does too. They don’t seem to care in some parts of the world. In my least favorite part of the world, the Middle East, you get a number, not a name. It doesn’t seem to matter if you are a mother or a father or a child.
It doesn’t seem to matter if you are praying at the time, reading a good book or learning how to play the violin.
There will be a bomb. And the total that day will be on the news. The number of innocents who were killed. There are never any names.
But here we name every single one.
I read the obituaries. I don’t know any of them, but I want to fi nd out whatever I can.
I wrote my father’s obituary, knowing that nobody knew him. I thought maybe there was someone like me who would read it with an oblique interest, and realize that he was a good man.
I am 66 and some of my friends have died, and some of their mothers and fa-thers have died. That’s what happens when you get older. Death is no longer some-where way out there. It’s in the next email. It’s in the next phone call.
My mother and father died within three months of each other. There is an almost unexplainable emptiness that goes along with the deaths of both a mother and a father. Now what?
My sister and I carry the family history. I carry most of it in my memory. I have a few photographs and a few videos, and that’s all. There is no presence.
Death starts knocking when we are young. It may be a pet. I saw a dried-up lizard when I was 5 or 6, and didn’t under-stand what I was looking at. I do now.
Leonardo da Vinci said, “While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.”

Turn to teamwork for better outcomes While I was facilitating a team meeting
recently, the people in the room had an “aha” moment that will change the course and culture of the company and also ac-celerate their success.
It wasn’t anything so profound, it was simply just a realization that they could accomplish more as a team than they ever could possibly do as individuals. Another one of those common-sense things that are not always common practice.
This was a group of high-achieving and high-performing individuals. And since they were seen as the superstars of the company, they behaved in the same way. Egos were getting in the way of taking the team and the company to a higher level. I reminded them that even in the All Star games of professional sports, the players at the pinnacle of their game come together for one game and play for a common cause … a win.
This is not an uncommon situation, and as a matter of fact, I fi nd it to be true with small businesses and large companies alike. I see it in associations and organizations of all kinds. And I have witnessed it with families and in churches. You see, we can all benefi t from fi nding the resources and people in our lives that can help us achieve
success. Even the individual who struggles through diffi cult times or fi ghts their way through incredible opportunities presented to them could benefi t so much by lever-aging the people in their lives that could absolutely lend a hand, give advice, or just listen to the ideas and goals.
Here’s the thing, sometimes some of us worry so much about perception that we are afraid to engage others for the fear of feeling like we are not smart enough or strong enough to handle the situation or opportunity on our own. So in the face of feeling embarrassed, we go it alone. If we would only learn to lean on our families, friends, and/or other people we already know or could be introduced to, we can

Tips on surviving campaign season As a truly “purple” state, we’re headed
again to the non-stop TV ads, phone sur-veys, and campaign pieces in the mailbox. Since I’m not running this time (thank God), I thought it might help to give some tips on how to survive the storm of the campaigning around us, and more easily make informed decisions as we get ready to vote this fall.
• In the eye of the storm — In our com-munity where we are so mixed politically, there’s good news and bad news. Good news is that we often vote for the candi-date rather than just following the party line. With ballot initiatives, we’ve shown that we are a true blend of conservatives, moderates, and progressives. Bad news is that we get bombarded with campaign materials from every medium and every angle because our “persuadable, in-formed” votes are wanted. So, get ready for full steam ahead!
• How do you know who or what to trust? — With the showers of materials
and ads, how do you know who’s telling the truth or what material to believe? No doubt, it’s diffi cult. In my own re-election campaign in 2012, there were claims about me that were outrageously false. Politi-cal operatives even created a fake online newspaper to push those lies! Fortunately, enough people saw through their unethi-cal antics. Unfortunately, false political advertising claims are rarely successful because the materials are considered “pro-tected political speech.” So, beware of the spin and don’t trust anyone but yourself!
Do your own research on the candidate or initiative. Call, email or see the candidate in person. Read the candidate’s direct fact-checked information, and look at his/her voting record yourself. Yes, this does take time. Informed voters make better choices!
• Be nice to volunteers — The volun-teers calling or walking in your neighbor-hood are people like you and me who are just trying to contribute to the democratic process our forefathers intended for us. And they’re most likely your neighbors!
• Candidates are people too - Although you might disagree with a candidate at your door occasionally, you might want to remember they’re people, too. They are taking a courageous risk to step up pub-licly to volunteer their time, energy and, often, their money, to do something most people wouldn’t think of doing. Over my years as a state senator, I have found that most people in our area are respectful of that. Occasionally, though, strangers who
don’t even know who I am or how I repre-sent them have been unnecessarily rude. We need to remember that we’re all just people trying to do what we think is right.
• To help you make it through the storm — Before the ballots come out, I will host a town hall in September with a non-partisan, objective presentation by Colorado Legislative Council staff who are the analysts who write the Blue Book. Local candidates will also be welcome to introduce themselves and answer ques-tions.
Overall, though, we’re lucky to have the privilege to vote, right?

Pay-for-Success Act will help close ‘skills gap’ At a time when federal dollars are
stretched thin, we need to shift to models that pay for outcomes, rather than pay-ing for services that may or may not be working. This is the type of approach that can and should apply to a range of government services. It’s also the type of approach Republican Sen. Rob Portman and I took when crafting the recently passed Pay-for-Success Act — which works to make federal job training pro-grams more effective and responsive to what employers want.
When I meet with business owners from all across the state, from the West-ern Slope to the San Luis Valley, from large manufacturers to small information technology companies, there is one thing that they have in common: a challenge fi nding workers with skills that match their business needs.
At Western Slope Industries in Grand Junction they stressed how diffi cult it was to fi nd employees with the proper training. Diversifi ed Machine Systems in
Colorado Springs is rapidly expanding with high customer demand, yet they are not able to hire qualifi ed employees fast enough. In Loveland, Leed Fabrication’s need is so great, they had to build their own training facility.
It’s not that there aren’t enough workers, it’s that they aren’t trained in the fi elds that are hiring. This problem, commonly referred to as the “skills gap,” is driving unemployment and stifl ing economic growth in Colorado and across the nation.
A 2011 report found that 74 percent of manufacturers are experiencing work-
force shortages or skills defi ciencies that are signifi cantly hindering their abil-ity to expand operations and improve productivity. They aren’t alone. Employ-ers across the country — particularly in the information-technology sector and throughout other high-growth industries in this economy — are facing a lack of skilled workers, even as tens of thou-sands of Coloradans continue to look for work.
The Pay-for-Success Act creates a new model for workforce development that helps address this problem and close the skills gap by improving federal job train-ing programs. State and local workforce boards will now have the fl exibility to enter into contracts with job-training providers who will be reimbursed for their services only if they deliver on agreed-upon outcomes.
For instance, a Colorado job-training provider tasked with training a certain number of workers to fi ll high-need positions in a specifi c region or a rapidly
growing industry would not be paid if the jobs aren’t fi lled. The result is work-force development training that is more aligned to regional needs and employer demands.
In Colorado, roughly 10 percent of core federal job-training funds, or $3.24 million, will be available for workforce boards to steer toward these innovative types of “Pay-for Success” contracts. This will help state and local workforce boards better serve the roughly 9,000 Colora-dans who use their services to gain new skills to get back to work.
The Pay-for-Success Act is the type of model that promotes innovation by rewarding results and penalizing com-placency. This common-sense reform ensures that job training programs are more responsive to the needs of employ-ers and are preparing more workers for a 21st-century economy.

The project will convert the six-lane section of highway to eight lanes, reduc-ing congestion created in large part by I-25 drivers exiting and merging from the C-470 southbound off-ramp and the northbound Lincoln on-ramp, and those merging and exiting southbound I-25 at its intersections with County Line Road and Lincoln Avenue. The construction will also expand highway ramps. Off the highway, it will eliminate the frontage road just east of I-25 and north of Lincoln Avenue, creating a trail connection.
The work originally was planned as part of the massive metro Denver Transporta-tion Expansion Project, or T-REX, complet-ed in 2006. The five years of construction
that began in 2001 widened major portions of the interstate and added 19 miles of light rail, including the southeast corridor light rail line to Lone Tree.
Crews will do most of the lane-balancing construction between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., but Morgan said about three hours of each night shift is consumed with closing and re-opening portions of the highway.
“We really only have the availability to work for about six hours,” she said.
Winter construction is further ham-pered by cold temperatures that often pro-hibit concrete work.
“So we tend to lose a lot of construction time in the winter,” Morgan said.
The project, cut from T-REX due to bud-get restrictions, is jointly funded by CDOT, Douglas County, the City of Lone Tree and the Denver Regional Council of Govern-ments.

The Polis-backed initiatives sought to increase setback re-quirements for wells and would have also given communities greater control over oil and gas drilling operations. Pro-fracking groups had sought initiatives that could have had economic impacts on communities that ban fracking — the process by which water and chemicals are blasted into the ground to free up trapped oil and gas underneath.
Also as part of the agreement, Hickenlooper said that the state would work to end a lawsuit
against Longmont over new oil and gas regulations the city adopted two years ago.
But the big news is the agree-ment to pull the ballot measures.
Hickenlooper and the oil and gas industry had op-
posed Polis’ efforts, concerned that the initiatives would be akin to a fracking ban in a state that relies on drilling to feed the econ-omy.
And Democrats were con-cerned that an expensive fracking battle would hurt candidates this November, especially Sen. Mark Udall, who is locked in a tight re-election campaign against U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner.
But those fears for Democrats now appear to be over as Polis an-nounced he is backing off of his efforts to continue to pursue the initiatives, measures that he had been helping to finance.
Polis said during a hastily-called Capitol press conference that he considers the creation of a task force to be “a victory for the people of Colorado.”
“For the first time, with the (oil and gas) commission that the governor mentioned, citizens will be on equal footing with the oil and gas industry and will be able to directly negotiate to pro-tect their property rights, home values, and air quality,” Polis said.
The 18-member task force would be charged with helping to “minimize land use conflicts that can occur when siting oil and gas facilities near homes, schools, businesses and recreational ar-eas,” according to the governor’s office.
The task force would be made up a diverse group of members from across all business fields. Members would include repre-sentatives from the industries of oil and gas, conservation, agricul-ture, homebuilders and local gov-ernments and civic leaders.
The task force would make recommendations on fracking is-sues to the Legislature.
Fight over for nowAlthough the agreement had
been announced by the governor
and Polis, it was still unclear at the time of the press event whether pro-fracking groups would agree to drop their own measures.
That question was answered late that same evening by Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, who was behind an initia-tive that would have prohibited communities that ban fracking from collecting revenues that are a part of oil and gas revenue allo-cation.
McNulty said through a press statement that he would suspend his efforts, calling the decision by Polis to drop his initiatives “an ex-citing turn of events.”
Another pro-fracking initia-tive, which would have dealt with financial disclosure issues of fu-ture ballot measures that deal with energy development, was also dropped.
Hickenlooper had cautioned for months that the ballot ini-tiatives could have “draconian” results on an industry that gen-erates jobs and contributes bil-lions of dollars to the Colorado economy.
For months, the governor held out hope of calling a special ses-sion to address local control is-sues surrounding fracking, only to call off those efforts last month after a compromise had failed to materialize.
It now appears that the gover-nor doesn’t have to worry about an expensive fight over fracking in November.
“The (task force) will provide an alternative to ballot initiatives that, if successful, would have regulated the oil and gas industry through the rigidity of constitu-tional amendments and would have imposed a significant threat to Colorado’s economy,” Hicken-looper said.
As for the Longmont litiga-tion, Hickenlooper said he would call on the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission to drop its lawsuit against the city. The city had created its own set of rules sur-rounding fracking, including a requirement that wells be placed at least 750 feet from an occupied dwelling.
The lawsuit marked the first
time the state had sued a city over its own oil and gas rules.
Fracking politics play outThe politics of fracking played
out almost immediately after the press conference ended.
Former Congressman Bob Beauprez, who is running against Hickenlooper this fall, blasted the “backroom deal” reached by the governor and Polis as having left “many unanswered questions.”
Colorado Republican Chair-man Ryan Call was also critical of the announcement.
“Literally, the only thing that we know for certain after today’s press conference is that Gov. Hickenlooper, Jared Polis and Colorado Democrats want even more control over Colorado’s al-ready heavily regulated energy industry,” Call said through an emailed statement.
As for Udall, he had been in a tough spot on the fracking issue, considering that a large number of environmentalists — a key Udall constituency — had been behind Polis’ efforts.
The senator issued a state-ment in favor of the agreement.
“This deal — which averts a divisive and counterproductive ballot fight over one-size-fits-all restrictions — is welcome news and underscores how all of Colo-rado benefits when we find com-mon ground,” Udall said.
Polis, whose district includes some cities that have voted to ban fracking, told reporters that he had never been pressured by fellow Democrats worried about the political ramifications to halt his efforts.
“I would say no,” Polis said. “The Democrats in my district were very excited about these initiatives and the chance to fight it out and protect their homes. Obviously this will be disappoint-ing to some of my constituents, Republican and Democratic, but I would point out to them that there’s been progress made.”

Gray, Phippen exhibit set for Town Hall gallery By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]
Skilled paintings of cowboys, horses and the Western landscape will fi ll the Stanton Gallery at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Cen-ter during the month of August, especially during Western Welcome Week, with the Western Heritage Art Show.
The exhibit opens Aug. 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Robert Gray of Highlands Ranch and Sarah Phippen of Sedalia will exhibit images of horses, cowboys and Western landscapes. An artists’ reception is planned from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 14, and the exhibit ends Aug. 25.
Robert Gray is a Colorado-born artist who paints in watercolor, oil and acryl-ics, showing lots of action, color and loose style. He will have 20 paintings in the West-ern Heritage exhibit and is excited about being in downtown Littleton, where he maintained a studio and taught for some years on West Alamo Avenue.
He conducts workshops all over Colora-do and paints almost every day in his home studio. “My house is just full of paintings,” he said with a laugh. “”I love to paint.”
He works from photographs and mem-ory and uses little plastic model horses. “Sometimes, I paint the horse, then just put the cowboy in the saddle,” he said. He doesn’t sketch in fi gures for oil or acrylic works, but may do a little pencil sketch of fi gure for his watercolors.
A recent painting of a cowboy on a horse in the middle of a stream — fl y fi shing — is called “It Beats Chasin’ Cattle.” It refl ects a new interest. His son got interested in fl y fi shing and they both signed up for a class in fl y tying. Gray hasn’t caught many fi sh yet, but loves “the beauty of the location.”
He said his brother was a better painter when they were young, but while Gray con-tinued painting, his brother quit. “I picked up publications and art books, attended workshops all over the country,” he said. “What’s neat when I teach is that I learn from my students.”
Whatever medium he’s using is his fa-vorite on that day, he said. He’s fi gured out his own way to use acrylics and paints fast, whatever he’s using — even oils, where he might spend a few days. Watercolors can get overworked if the artist doesn’t stop in time. (No more than two hours.)
Phippen to show oilsPhippen said all of her works in this
show will be oil paintings, although she also sculpts in bronze. Her formal training began at age 14, according to her website,
and she has since studied with Jim Norton, Daniel Sprick, Sandra Kaplan and Anthony J. Ryder.
Her grandfather was sculptor, painter and founder of Cowboy Artists of America George Phippen, and she was recognized in 2013 by the Phippen Museum Western Art Show in Prescott, Ariz.
“I grew up surrounded by livestock and wildlife,” Phippen writes. “Observing their personalities and expressions allowed me to experience their quiet moments or read trouble in their eyes. I see this heritage as part of our age-old relationship with ani-mals; it is part of being human, a privilege that surrounds us every day.”
As part of her training, Phippen worked as a wax chaser at the Joseph’s Art Works bronze foundry in Sheridan, operated by the late Bill Joseph’s son Patrick. She as-sisted with a 2004 retrospective for George Phippen, held at the Phippen Museum, and developed an art enrichment program for elementary students.
A true Western artist, Phippen’s web-site reads, she belongs to the Art Students
League of Denver and to the Colorado Farm Bureau.
“Communicating emotions in a visual language, either in painting or sculpture, requires a fl uency in light, color, form, as well as patient observations … Observe and observe again and look for the reasons behind expressions. How — and why — does a horse smile? That’s what I’m after.”
She thinks she will have about eight paintings: two large horses, a 16-by-20 landscape and some smaller studies. New for her: two light fi gures on a dark back-ground.

Chefs warm up here, then heat up East
New York Eater, the national website that has a Denver version (www.denver.eater.com), has tracked the culinary trek of Colo-rado chefs who have packed their knives and migrated to The Big Apple.
While writer Nick Solares highlights the Colorado kitchen careers of a number of chefs who practiced their craft at The Little Nell in Aspen and Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder in particular, the story had a glaring omission — my son, On the Town Junior.
Mackenzie Parker Harden moved to New York City more than a year ago to pursue a performing arts career, but fell back on the restaurant training he received at Elway’s, El Diablo and (as a sage) at TAG, and landed a server job at Maialino, a much-lauded jewel in the crown of the Union Square Hospitality Group, helmed by noted restaurateur Danny Meyer.
The story credits the culinary pro-gram of The Little Nell resort in Aspen and Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder for providing top New York restaurant whizzes. Among those former Coloradans are Dustin Wilson, the sommelier at Eleven Madison Park, Sabato Sagaria, chief restaurant offi cer for Union Square Hospitality Group and seemingly the entire staff of Charlie Bird, to name but a few.
The story notes: “Is Colorado turning into a farm system for NYC kitchens? Is this just a strange coincidence? Or is there, in fact, a Colorado connection? Eater talked with some of the state’s notable expats to fi nd out just why, exactly, so many talented hospitality professionals are migrating from Colorado to New York.”
It continues: “Colorado is in many ways the quintessential Western state, and the resourcefulness and spirit of independence that were such driving forces in the migration across the plains still manifest themselves there. `It’s hard to live in Colorado if you are not a motivated person,’ says Ryan Hardy, chef and owner of Charlie Bird in NYC. Origi-nally from Kentucky, Hardy spent a decade in Colorado before moving to New York and opening his own restaurant. He has played a role in the cross-pollination of restaurant cul-tures between the two places, bringing others from Colorado, such as Grant Reynolds, the wine director at Charlie Bird, with him.”

‘Elements and Isotopes’ explored in depth at MOA Englewood museum plays host to collegiate exhibit this August By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]
Since 1991, The Museum of Out-door Arts, MOA, has provided stimu-lating arts education opportunities for young people in various formats. The 2014 version has offered college arts students a chance to stretch their wings in internships with distinctive focus.
Earlier in the year, a group of CU/Denver students produced commu-nity-oriented projects, an exhibit and interactions with the public.
The “Summer 2014” group of nine talented student interns from colleges both near and far focused on “Ele-ments and Isotopes: an Exploration of Identity and Connectivity,” producing a sophisticated and engaging exhibit which opened Aug. 2 in the MOA’s handsome upstairs gallery at the En-glewood Civic Center.
Students applied in the spring, with a professional digital portfolio, resume, cover letter and letters of rec-ommendation. Select students were then interviewed and those accepted, worked fi ve days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from June 2 through Aug. 4. College credit and a $1000 stipend were offered.
The chosen students worked un-der the direction of Imagined Cre-ation’s Cory Gilstrap, the area theater community’s go-to guy for puppets of all sorts, who is a master teacher.
Gilstrap, as lead artist, was assisted by artist Mickey Boyd and program director Michael Keen, as the group worked through the logistics of cre-ating site-specifi c museum installa-tions.
“Elements and Isotopes” is cen-tered on the premise that “we as in-dividuals are all isotopes of the Hu-man Element. Within confi nes of our unifi ed experience, we still maintain
independent identity and unique modes of expression. Our personal experience, though particular to the individual, is still inextricably linked to the greater whole, creating a web of continuity that spans both space and time.”
With a statement formulated, young artists went to work on inter-pretation. Each created a self-portrait, describing, “What makes you?”
Just inside the entrance on the right is a piece by Hannah Brookman, from Bennington College in Vermont, a very nature-oriented, multi-level piece with twigs and moss, inviting the viewer to peek inside.
A few steps farther to the right, one
fi nds a large clear box, with a realistic cast resin portrait of Emily Lamb of Littleton, a student at Virginia Com-monwealth University. Her face is re-fl ected in a mirror and the back of the head, open to the gallery, is fi tted with a mass of polished brass clock works, which she said represents what goes on in her busy mind. A sort of curios-ity cabinet, her box has tiny bottles with bits of her history, such as her grandfather’s baby bracelet.
She talked about participating with others in construction of two large installations: “Earthbound Tide,” cre-ated from monofi lament and bark, which explores “the space between.” And “Infi nite Reverberations,” a fl oor-to-ceiling fountain-like construction that explores how water connects all of us.
There are 13 installations to view at MOA in addition to the individual portraits.
One, “The Human Element,” is a bright red life-sized fi gure, construct-ed “of elemental building blocks.” It greets viewers just outside the muse-um’s door in the atrium, where there is an exhibit of works by three Design and Build alumni: Maeve Eichelberg-er, Kelly M. Jones and Kai Mazurczyk.
At night, Lamb said she worked at home on the complex self-portrait, while developing the concepts — and executing them — on the joint proj-ects during the days.
The closing sentence in the pro-gram’s description tells what has hap-pened here: “Interns fi nd creative so-lutions to practical challenges as they master the skills to transform their creative ideas into fi nished pieces.”

Western Welcome Week brings plenty of horsepowerBy Christy [email protected]
It is the Chinese year of the horse, and people will have plenty of opportunities to do some horsin’ around in Littleton at the 2014 Western Welcome Week, taking place Aug. 8-17.
This year’s theme is Giddy Up!, and the event will be celebrating community for the 86th year by offer-ing dozens of activities for families and individuals to enjoy during the 10-day celebration.
It wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts of about 20 organizations and proceeds will benefit many local nonprofits.
Cindy Hathaway, executive director for the event, said a person does not need to be “Western” to enjoy the event.
“It’s Western Welcome Week because we’re in the West,” she said. “(But) there’s definitely something for everybody.”
Hathaway added the only stipulation is that people come to have fun.
Attendees can look forward to live music and dancing, food, arts and crafts, educational seminars and unique contests. Here are some of the Giddy Up! highlights of Western Welcome Week.
The main event is Festival Day, which takes place on Aug. 16, beginning at 6:30 a.m. when people can purchase breakfast at the Grand Western Sandwich
Breakfast at Littleton United Methodist Church, 5894 S. Datura St.
From 10 a.m. to noon, thou-sands of people are expected to line the streets to attend the Grand Parade.
The parade route begins at Littleton Boulevard and
Gallup Street, heads west on the north side of
Littleton Boulevard, continues through
downtown Littleton on Main Street,
turns south at the end of Main Street onto Rapp
Street, and ends at Arapahoe Com-munity College at Rapp and Church streets.
The parade is free to attend, and will feature equestrians, high school marching
bands, pipe bands, tractors and floats. Dr. Charlie Vail of Littleton Equine Medical Center will be recognized as the Grand Marshal.
Western Welcome Week begins on Aug. 8, and activities for the 25th Family Night Concert in the Park and Fireworks at Sterne Park, 5900 S. Spotswood Ave., begin at 6 p.m.
The Denver Municipal Band, a full 40-piece concert band featuring some of the area’s leading professional players — including many principal musicians of the Colorado Sym-phony Orchestra — will perform at 7:45 p.m. Following the concert, at about 9 p.m., Tri-State Fireworks will be putting on a professional fireworks display.
All kids, from toddlers to age 12, are welcome to participate in the 19th Bruce Wolf Stick Horse Stam-pede on Aug. 10 at Arapahoe Community College, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the stampede is promptly at 10 a.m. It is free for all participants, and kids are welcome to bring their own stick horse or one can be purchased at the event for $10. Ribbons will be given to winners and all entries will receive a participation ribbon.
The Stanton Art Gallery in the Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., will be hosting the Western Heritage Art Show Aug. 5-25 in recognition of Western Welcome Week.
The art show features Colorado artists Robert Gray and Sarah Phippen and their artwork aimed at cap-turing the life of the West. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
During Western Welcome Week, the gallery will also be open on Saturday, Aug. 16 for Festival Day. Additionally, an artist’s reception, open to the public, will take place from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 14, where people will have an opportunity to meet the artists. The Western Heritage Art Show is free to attend.
There will be opportunities to enjoy the outdoors during this year’s Western Welcome Week at the 21st Stampede! for Open Space or the 19th Gold Panning on the Platte. Both events take place from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Aug. 9 at the Carson Nature Center, South Platte Park, 3000 W. Carson Drive.
Stampede! for Open Space is a family-friendly, free event offered for people to learn about the outdoors. Attendees will learn about living in a tipi, trapping, drought and floods on the river flow table, animals in South Platte Park and land uses, and participate in craft-making and old-fashioned games.
Gold Panning on the Platte is a free, drop-in event part of the Stampede! for Open Space. People will be able to experience Colorado’s heritage by panning for gold in the South Platte River near the Carson Nature Center, behind Aspen Grove Shopping Center. Equip-ment and expertise will be provided, and people get to keep any gold they find.
Western Welcome Week offers a couple of different opportunities for folks to dine and dance, Western-style. The Elks Hometown Pig Roast & Dance takes place from 6 to 11 p.m. Aug. 15 at the Littleton Elks Lodge, 5749 S. Curtice St. The pig roast will be buffet-style, and includes coleslaw, baked beans, corn-on-the-cob and a dinner roll. A child’s plate, available for toddlers to age 12, consists of a hot dog and chips. An adult plate costs $9, and a child’s plate costs $4. Din-
ner will be served at 6 p.m. until quantities last.After dinner, The Cactus Jack Band, a local country
music and rock ‘n’ roll classics band, will perform from 7 to 11 p.m.
Another opportunity for attendees to dance will be at the 18th RiverPointe Swing Dance, which occurs from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Aug. 12 at RiverPointe Senior Liv-ing, 5225 S. Prince St. Attendees of all ages are encouraged to come and dance at the free event. The Dean Bushnell Or-chestra will be the musical guests. Con-cessions will be available for purchase.

Shelties put on a showDogs are an entertaining part of the Grand Parade
By Jennifer [email protected]
It was love at first sight when Maggie Wild met Dinky and Aspen, and she decided to put that love on parade.
“When I would walk them, I was almost stopping traffic because
they were so cute to watch,” she said. “I thought, ‘How can I share theses dogs with others?’ They put a smile on your face and joy in your heart.”
Dinky and Aspen were Wild’s first Shetland sheepdogs, affectionately known as Shelties, which she welcomed into her home in 1995.
She wanted to find a way to let the world know what a great breed they were, so she came up with the idea of teaching them to pull a little Conestoga wagon, custom built just for them, and hitting the road on the parade circuit, winning lots of awards along they way.
“They are herding dogs, and they love to be kept busy, so this is their job,” she said. “And they love the attention.”
Training them wasn’t too hard, she said. She started by having them pull around an empty milk jug, then a Radio Flyer wagon, then the wagon filled with sand. A tack shop made the harnesses for them, and another friend added Lydia,
their rag-doll passenger, and Skippy the Horse, their outrider.
“They’re so smart,” said Wild. “They love tricks and they like learning new maneuvers.”
Sadly, she lost Dinky and Aspen within seven sad weeks of each other. But she was hooked on the breed and now is dog-gie mom to Corky Joe, 11, and Miss Drew, 8. They’ve been marching in the Western Welcome Week Grand Parade since 2002, much to the delight of their fans of all ages.
“I have a lot of fun, plus it’s something I can do with my dogs,” she said. “Mostly, I love to extend joy out to people. Both of my parents were very community-mind-ed, so it’s just come naturally. I just found a little bit different way than they had.”
Miss Drew is a bouncy little girl, and Corky is an excellent dancer. They love to play hide and seek with Wild, waiting patiently for her to hide, then seeking her out when they hear her clap. Corky is a fantastic singer, and although Drew’s vo-cal cords were cut by her original breeder, she can most definitely get her point across when she wants to.
But they are more than just local ce-lebrities, having been trained as therapy dogs. They regularly visit places like Craig Hospital and Life Care Center, eager to cuddle and help with fine motor skills.
“They are very loyal, they have huge hearts, and they love to give to others,” said Wild.Maggie Wild of Wild West Shelties marches in several parades a year with Miss Drew and Corky Joe. Courtesy photo

Cowboy Steve croons the classics Smith is a longtime � xture of local music scene By Jennifer Smith [email protected]
Cowboy Steve “Smitty” Smith doesn’t need Music City USA to be a country star, because he’s a celebrity right here at home.
“I made a trip to Nashville, but it just never really materialized for me,” he said. “I didn’t want to pick up roots and leave Colorado.”
Cowboy Steve has had kids hootin’ and hollerin’ during Western Welcome Week for the last 35 years, playing his fi ddle or guitar in the parade and cranking out classic favorites like “She’ll be Coming `Round the Mountain” and “Oh Susanna” on the family stage during his afternoon sing-along.
“They get to whistle, they get to yell and scream, stomp and holler,” he said. “Kids are the best audience in the world. They’re uninhibited, they’re all in.”
He loves keeping the old classics alive while teaching kids about history and cowboy culture.
“Colorado really has that Western spir-it, its entrepreneurism, its individualism,” he said. “People get to be who they are.”
Smith got his start in the music indus-try in the heart of Littleton in 1985, when
he purchased what was once Crescendo Music just off of Littleton Boulevard on Cedar Street.
“Owning a music store is really what I wanted to do,” he said. “But I didn’t have any business training other than just com-mon sense.”
He did have a degree in mass commu-nications, though, which is what brought him to town. He came to Colorado from St. Louis in 1978 to take a sales job at a Westminster newspaper, but he fell in love with Littleton right away. When a similar opening came up at the Littleton Inde-pendent, he jumped on it.
He took over Crescendo Music when owner Robb Heskett, a friend, made a move into the wholesale end of the busi-ness. That’s also about the time Cowboy Steve started making the rounds, at fi rst just for the children of friends, then as a professional gig.
“I really love the persona,” he said. “I feel very fortunate to have fi gured that one out.”
What he fi gured out was that he had to keep the little ones engaged by interact-ing with them, getting them riled up and rocking out.
“If you’re having fun, the audience, whether they’re 6 years old or 60 years old, can’t help but have fun too, and that’s a good feeling,” he said.
Smith has been in a variety of bands over the years, including as one half of Colfax and Wadsworth with his friend Ed
Skibbe. (Don’t ask which one was Colfax and which one was Wadsworth; it was just a moniker, he says.)
He currently plays with Lois Lane and the Super Cowboys along with his old friend Heskett, or “Ranger Robb,” as he’s known. The two also perform together as the Mango Brothers, departing from their usual country and rock to play island music.
He’s also available for private les-sons, and he works part time at Music Go Round near Southwest Plaza as an instrument technician, maintaining and
restoring anything with strings.“Music is my calling,” he said. “I’m a
lucky man. I’ve paid the bills my whole life doing it. You make sacrifi ces along the way, you know how it is. But it’s been great.”
Even after 35 years, Smith still looks forward to Western Welcome’s Week’s Festival Day and the Grand Parade, Aug. 16 this year.
“We see people every year on that one day who we only see that one day a year, and it feels like a piece of Americana,” he said.

Church troupe to stage melodrama By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]
“Perils on the Platte” is a new Western Wel-come Week event: an old-fashioned melodra-ma, performed by the Encore Players, a min-istry of Littleton United Methodist Church. It is co-directed by Kathy Peterson, who has lived in Littleton for 51 years, and Donna Smith, a Littleton native.
If longtime residents detect a fl avor of the late, lamented “Fiasco” community spoof productions, it’s no accident. Both theater professionals were heavily involved in the “Fiasco” series and retain the aura of irrever-ence shown in those spoofs.
This production will offer a good time and an opportunity to do good: Peterson is a longtime member of the Clipped Wings retired fl ight attendants’ organization, and a portion of the proceeds from the show will be
donated to the organization’s charity, Praying Hands Ranches, which offers equine physical therapy to the physically handicapped, veter-ans and developmentally delayed. (Note: Ad-mission to “Perils on the Platte” is free, but a free-will offering will be welcomed.)
Consider the plight of young, beautiful, but down-on-her-luck Starla Gotrocks (Jen-nifer Novinger), who decides she can no lon-ger keep her baby, Echo (Tasha Waterman) — or the dishes her deceased husband left her — and leaves baby and a dish in the weeds along the banks of the South Platte River. (Here, the audience should say “awww!’)
Kalvin and Klara Kindly (Ron Duce and Marilyn Miller) fi nd the baby and decide to keep her and raise her as their own. They have also discovered gold.
Enter S.S. Cravenhiss (Jay Jarrett) and his sidekick Silty Waters (Greg Kuhn), who are trying to buy up all the land west of the South Platte, south of Riverpointe, to build a mall. (“Booo!”) With control of this land, he will be-come governor of the great state of Colorado. He owns all but the two acres belonging to
the Kindly couple.Next on the scene is our hero, Douglas Fir
(David Novinger — “Yay!”), a representative of the Othermans Preservation Association. While studying the fl ora and fauna in the area, he discovers a grown-up Echo — it’s love at fi rst sight.
From here on, there’s villainy and melo-dramatic silliness to the end — followed by an “olio act” (an old-time term for vaudeville numbers) starring the cast.
Additional cast members include: Philip Gotrocks (Bruce Weston) and Police Person/Judge (Tamara Jarrett).

38 State celebrates 38th state New brewer � nds lucky number, throws party By Jennifer Smith [email protected]
Littleton had the most perfect place in the 38th state to celebrate its 138th birthday: 38 State Brewing Company.
“It was like the gods were smiling on us,” said Brett Blazek, an owner at the brewery.
Not only was it the new brewery’s fi rst observance of the birthday of its namesake, it happened to fall on a Friday, so the party was in full swing on the afternoon of Aug. 1. It was dubbed the “Firkin Birthday Party” in reference to a brewery measurement that equates to a quarter of a barrel of beer, and to kick off the party, they tapped two porters they had brewed up especially for the event.
There were plenty of ways to observe the occasion, including cornhole and giant Jenga tournamenta, Colorado Trivia and more — all with prizes and giveaways. Ev-eryone came together at 8:01 p.m. (on 8/1) for birthday cake decorated as the state fl ag and the ceremonial singing of “Happy Birthday.”
The owners themselves are refl ective of the Western spirit Colorado has always been known for, blazing the trail for other brewers opening in Littleton. Several man-ufacturers had expressed interest in the
city, but 38 State was the fi rst to actually get the barrel rolling. At the time, such compa-nies were only allowed in industrial areas like the Santa Fe corridor, where Brecken-ridge Brewery will rise next year. The Old Mill brewery gets to be downtown because it has a full restaurant, so it’s classifi ed as a brewpub.
But after dealing with 38 State, city staff
recommended last year that the law be changed to allow microbreweries, wine makers and microdistilleries in certain commercial areas like shopping centers and downtown. City council ultimately agreed, passing an ordinance that limits their size and requires 30 percent of the building to be dedicated to retail sales and a tasting room.
But the action actually came too late to help 38 State, which opened May 10 in a former automotive shop at Broadway and County Line Road.
“We are very excited and want to share that excitement with the all Coloradans, not only this Friday, but for many years to come,” said Blazek.

Bemis legacy a lasting one in LittletonGranddaughter relates family history at pair of local stopsBy Jennifer [email protected]
With Western Welcome Week right around the corner, it was opportune that Maya DeBus was in town last week to talk about her grandfather, who was a co-founder of the event and has a name syn-onymous with all things Littleton: Ed Be-mis.
“It wasn’t what my grandfather did, it was how he did it and how he made you feel when he did it,” DeBus told her audi-ence at Englewood Library on Aug. 1.
Hosted by the historic societies in En-glewood and Littleton, DeBus came all the way from California to give presentations in each city.
“My grandfather suffered a stroke in 1968 and was never really able to speak again,” she said. “But he had told his sto-ries numerous times before it was too late.”
Now she is carrying on his voice, having researched and archived artifacts from his life in Littleton and how he lived happily ever after with his wife, Katherine. He was a native Littletonite, born in 1887 to Judge Fred Bemis, the town’s justice of the peace, and his wife, Elizabeth.
Ed Bemis is perhaps best known for be-ing the namesake of Littleton’s only library, or for his longtime association with the Littleton Independent, where he started as an apprentice at the age of 11 and retired as publisher in 1951. Lesser known facts
include that he was in the first graduating class at Littleton High School, was thought to be the youngest town treasurer in the country, spent time as the fire chief and owned a Kodak franchise on Main Street.
Proving he also had a wild side, he once got a speeding ticket on his 1914 Indian motorcycle.
In addition to WWW and the library, organizations he helped create include the Littleton Historic Society, the Colo-rado Press Association, the city’s planning
board, the Denver Westerners, Littleton Museum, Littleton Rotary and the electric trolley that once ran down Main Street.
“My grandfather was particularly good at getting people together,” said DeBus. “He was good at connecting, at getting things done right, sharing ideas, sharing successes and sharing challenges.”
DeBus remembers visiting Littleton from California as a child to witness the grand opening of the library bearing his name, then returning to attend a concert
there last year.“I looked around at the children play-
ing, and parents relaxing, and realized what a wonderful thing my grandfather planted the seeds for,” she said. “But wa-ter, pruning and a lot of effort goes into any community, into making things grow and blossom. … It’s so important to tell the people who they are, it’s important to tell the children. If we don’t tell them, all they have is what they see on TV, and they think that’s who they are.”

Tip a glass at Art & Ale fest Visitors to sample brews while viewing, creating art By Chris Michlewicz [email protected]
An estimated 2,000 beer lovers will tip a glass during the Art & Ale Brew Festival.
Now in its 11th year at The Wildlife Expe-rience, on Peoria Street south of Lincoln Av-enue near Parker, the festival will gather 50 breweries and 20 restaurants eager to show off their latest concoctions from 6-10 p.m. Aug. 15. The event has doubled in size in the last decade, as interest in craft brews has swelled.
There are a few new additions to the menu in 2014, including a create-your-own-art sta-tion that will enable visitors to paint on a 6-by-6-inch canvas. Organizers also threw corn hole (a.k.a. bag toss) onto the outdoor activity list, and for the viewing pleasure of beer connoisseurs, an ice sculpture demon-stration.
The Art & Ale Brew Festival, which draws nearly four times as many attendees as the museum’s annual Art & Wine fest, has be-come so popular that organizers have to turn away some breweries and cap the number of tickets sold because of capacity constraints, said Christopher Goetz, events and promo-tions coordinator for The Wildlife Experience.
There is good reason for its growth.“It’s an all-around really fun event, and
kind of like the last big blowout of summer
before the kids go back to school,” Goetz said. “(Attendees) should expect a really super-fun party atmosphere.”
Flock of Beagles, a well-known ‘80s cover band from Denver, will play in the museum’s Great Hall, and dancing is highly encouraged, although oftentimes it doesn’t take much en-couragement. Being an indoor and outdoor event helps spread the crowd and enables friends to step outside to enjoy a beautiful mid-August evening, Goetz said.
Non-drinkers and designated drivers get reduced admission and can grab a refreshing creation from a “mocktail” beverage station. Shirley Temples and Roy Rogers drinks will be available, as will coffee from Caribou Coffee. People who want to satisfy yet another crav-ing can stop by the “sugar shack” area, which will feature Blue Bell Ice Cream and other treats, Goetz said.
Those who wish to attend should buy their tickets online at www.thewildlifeexpe-rience.org as soon as possible, as the brew festival is expected to sell out. Tickets for non-members are $40 and members are $35.
Roughly 2,000 people are expected to attend the Art & Ale Brew Festival at The Wildlife Experience at Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street. Courtesy photo

Hendrix of bagpipes’ will play in Ranch Spanish musician coming to Colorado Scottish Festival By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]
When it’s Saturday night at the Colorado Scottish Festival in Highlands Ranch, there’s always a concert. This year, it features a Spanish bagpiper on Aug. 9.
His name is Carlos Nunez and he has become an international pop star with his traditional music from Galicia, an autonomous Celtic region on Spain’s north-west coast. (One of seven Celtic countries, we learn in a release from his record label.)
He is called “the Jimi Hendrix of bagpipes.”Nunez has expanded the borders of Celtic music to
flamenco, fado, Cuban, Mexican, Brazilian and classi-cal music.
He says he “plays Celtic music with Latin passion” and there are numerous recordings to his credit.
Nunez has performed with and recorded with The Chieftains, including a 1994 Carnegie Hall concert, and played in the Inter-Celtic Festival of Lorient Orchestra in Brittany, France’s northwest region, which also has a tradition of Celtic music.
The gaita, Nunez’s signature instrument, dates back to the 11th century and is growing in popularity in and outside Spain.
He studied on a recorder at the Royal Conservatory in Madrid and also plays the ocarina, assorted whistles, Scottish Highland pipes, uilleann (Irish) pipes, bom-barde (a kind of Breton oboe), biniou koz (Breton bag-pipes and pastoral pipes (an 18th-century precursor of the uilleann pipes.)

A competitive community of CrossFittersTeam from Highlands Ranch gym competes in world competitionBy Christy [email protected]
CrossFit is a community.“CrossFit is not easy,” said Steve Hartle,
owner of Backcountry CrossFit gym in High-lands Ranch. “It’s the motivation from the group that helps drive you. That sense of community that we’re all in this together.”
Recently, seven Highlands Ranch athletes from Backcountry CrossFit competed at the Reebok CrossFit Games, a worldwide compe-tition to “find the fittest on Earth,” which took place July 25-31 in Carson, Calif.
According to the CrossFit Games website, “the goal is to find the fittest athletes, not to produce an easily replicable workout pro-gram.”
Although only seven people affiliated with Backcountry CrossFit qualified to compete in the games, Hartle said it was a group effort that got them there. He said just qualifying for the games is a big deal, and over 45 ath-letes from the local gym went to spectate and cheer on their team.
“We’re (only) the second team in Colorado to ever qualify for the games,” he said, adding that the competition has been around since 2007.
Each CrossFit gym is independently owned, and there are about 10,000 in the world, Hartle said.
From those 10,000 gyms, 217,000 people began the process of qualifying for the Cross-Fit Games with the Open, a competition that took place at the end of February. Hartle said the Open consisted of five weeks of different judged workouts. Each week, the scores are compared to others from throughout the re-gion.
There are 17 regions around the world. Teams competing in Backcountry CrossFit’s region come from Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada.
After scoring high enough in the Open, the top 30 teams from the region went on to Re-gionals in May, which took place in Salt Lake City.
The Regional competition is a “three-day competition of head-to-head workouts,” Hartle said. Of the 30 teams that competed in Regionals, the top three qualified to compete in the CrossFit Games.
The Backcountry CrossFit team, called Backcountry Black, won second place at Re-gionals. The team consists of three women, Stephanie Brady and Meredith Smith of Highlands Ranch, and Becky Conzelman of Denver; and three men, Dalton Spanbauer of Highlands Ranch, Chris Dozois of Castle Rock and Dave Foster of Denver.
Backcountry CrossFit also had a master in the competition, Mike Egan of Highlands Ranch, who competed individually.
Backcountry Black competed in 13 differ-ent scored workouts, Hartle said, eventually placing 15th out of 43 teams. Egan competed against 19 other athletes, and was required to do eight different workouts. He finished 12th in the men’s 45-49-year-old division.
“CrossFit, in general, is competitive,” Egan said. “You’re competing every day — either against yourself or others in the gym. But, ev-eryone is there, still encouraging you.”
A definition of CrossFit is “constantly var-ied, functional movements (that are) per-formed at high intensity over a broad time and modal domains.” Hartle said the work-outs have to encompass certain things, but can be anything from Olympic lifting, gym-nastics and cardio.
CrossFit is known as a general prepared-ness program because it “specializes in not
specializing,” Hartle said.“One of the beautiful things about Cross-
Fit is that anyone can do it (because) it can be scaled to people’s different abilities,” Hartle said. “You challenge yourself every day (and) the better you get, the harder it gets. The ap-peal is that you never plateau.”
Egan said the hardest part about getting involved with CrossFit is showing up.
“When you first walk in the door, it’s intim-idating — people doing strange workouts,”
Egan said, “but it’s geared from entry-level to advanced. If you do the work, you see prog-ress.”
Hartle’s wife, Ashley, who is co-owner of Backcountry CrossFit, said there is no limi-tation with CrossFit because everything can be modified. She said people who do it gain a new outlook on what they can accomplish.
“CrossFit is core-centric,” she said. “It starts with the core and works out. It makes you stronger for everything you do in life.”

Marley uses summer success to his advantageArapahoe grad prepares to take golf game to next level at Northern ColoradoBy Jim [email protected]
Sam Marley usually spends a lot of time at South Suburban Golf Course tuning up his game.
The Arapahoe High School graduate will continue to polish his game this fall in Gree-ley for the University of Northern Colorado men’s golf team.
“I go to South Suburban almost every day,” he said. “I probably spend three or four hours a day there.”
Marley’s father, Todd, is the head profes-sional at the Centennial course but his son has only been playing competitive golf for four years.
“I played baseball until my freshman year,” said Sam. “I played golf for fun with my family, but I didn’t start playing golf competi-tively until my freshman year.
“I used to get a lot of help from my Dad but now I’ve met a guy, Steve Beach, at Glenmoor Country Club. I’ve been taking lessons from him for a while now.”
The lessons have paid dividends this sum-mer.
For starters, Marley went on a late birdie binge to win the Colorado Golf Association
Junior Match Play Championship at Bear Creek Golf Club July 18 with a 3 and 1 win over Trevor Glen.
“It was definitely the biggest tournament that I’ve won,” said Marley who was seeded 46th. “I made a lot of birdies. I made a lot putts but I was also hitting my irons pretty close to hole so that made the putting a little easier.
“I have been playing well this summer. It is a little bit of everything but mostly I’ve been hitting to ball really well.”
Marley also qualified to play in the
HealthOne Colorado Open with a qualifying score of even-par 70 at Inverness Golf Club on July 9.
He shot a 2-under-par 69 on July 24 during the first round of the Colorado Open at Green Valley Golf Course. He finished with rounds of 77, 72 and 75 to finish with a 9-over-par 293 total that left him tied for 62nd place.
“It was awesome,” he said. “It was prob-ably one of the favorite tournaments I’ve ever played in. I was pretty excited after the first day. I thought there was no way that I
wouldn’t make the cut. But I kind of struggled through the second day.”
Marley’s summer success should help him adjust to collegiate golf at UNC.
“A lot of it is I’m way more confident with my putting,” explained Marley. “I just putt a lot over at South Suburban. There are all sorts of drills I’ve gotten from my Dad and a couple of his buddies who are PGA guys as well.
“I definitely hope to travel my freshman year at UNC and play as many tournaments as I can.”

Commission gives voice to teenagersStudents join South Suburban youth panel, help in�uence the communityBy Anna She�erSpecial to Colorado Community Media
Area teens have more ways than ever to influence their community. With the formation of the first South Subur-ban Youth Commission, eighth- through 12th-graders are represented in the events offered by the parks and recre-ation district.
JoAnn Gould, director of recreation and community services at South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, said she has recognized the need to involve teenagers for a while, but the commission has been more than a year in the making. Gould designed the application with guid-ance from other communities with similar programs. Each applicant had to be interviewed by members of the staff before being appointed. And being appointed after the application process was rewarding.
“It felt kind of like I achieved something I wanted to pursue,” said Bailey Thompson, 14.
South Suburban also offers the summer VolunTeen program, which allows teens to go through the job-hiring process and be placed in a volunteer location that will give them an idea of what it is like to be in the workforce. With the addition of the youth commission, teens have more opportunities and incentive to influence the local community.
“I’m extremely proud to be able to develop this com-mission,” Gould said. “This commission, coupled with the VolunTeen program, provides an avenue for teens to do what we do.”
The commission was sworn in at a board meeting on July 9, and the first meeting will be held on Aug. 5. Gould said the members will brainstorm ideas for the year at that meeting. The students will be responsible for plan-ning an event aimed at fellow teens, so she values their input.
“We’re looking at them as advisers for us,” she said.The members of the commission come from differ-
ent backgrounds. The eight members are eighth-grader Sierra Kimes; freshmen Ali Abbas, Audrey Koenig, Amelia Rhea and Thompson; sophomores Dong Wook Lee and Sam Hansen; and senior Megan Bolt. But though they are different ages and come from different schools, they share a passion for the community.
“This group is inspiring to me because they’re pas-sionate about serving,” Gould said. “This is an imagina-tive way for them to be engaged in their community.”
In addition to volunteer service, the commission also gives members the chance to learn more about leader-ship and civics. As part of their role on the commission, the members will attend a camp for students who are in-volved in similar positions of leadership. The opportunity to take on a leadership role is an exciting prospect for these students.
“I want to become a better leader in the community and learn more about what makes South Suburban run,” said Koenig, 14.
The formation of the youth commission will allow teens to take on a leadership role and be represented in local government. The students’ experiences and insight will be helpful in getting more teens involved as well. Thompson is looking forward to putting the leadership skills she has gained in student council to good use.
“One of my goals is definitely to help impact the com-munity and bring ideas to the table,” she said.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF AUG 4, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Technology snafus tax your patience. But before you throw that computer or oth er bulky hardware into the trash, take a deep breath and call someone knowledgeable for help.
TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Don’t be too upset if your generosity goes unappreciated. These things happen, and rather than brood over it, move on. A new friend could open up some exciting new possibilities.
GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A loved one helps you get through an especially difficult emotional situation. Spend the weekend immersed in the body and soul restorative powers of music and the other arts.
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You are pretty much in charge of what you want to do this week. However, it might be a good idea to keep an open mind regard-ing suggestions from people you know you can trust.
LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Another chance to shine (something always dear to the Lion’s heart) might be resented by others. But you earned it, so enjoy it. The weekend brings news about a family member.
VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A suggestion that never took off could become viable again. Dust it off, update it if necessary, and resubmit it. In your personal life, a new relationship takes an “interesting” turn.
LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Confronting a new chal-lenge to your stated position could work to your ad-vantage by settling all doubts once you’re able to pres-ent a solid defense backed up by equally solid facts.
SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You enjoy doing nice things for others. But this is a good time to do some-thing nice for yourself as well. You might want to start by planning a super-special getaway weekend.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Some changes you feel you need to make might be reasonable and appropriate. But others might lead to new problems. Think things through carefully before you act.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Good instincts usually keep the sure-footed Goat on the right path. So, what others might see as stubbornness on your part, in fact reflects your good sense of what is worth supporting.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A period of intro-spection could lead to some surprising conclusions -- and also equally surprising changes -- involving a number of your long-held positions on several issues.
PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) The financially practi-cal Pisces might want to take a sensible approach to spending as well as investing. Being prudent now pays off later. A romantic situation moves into another phase.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of curiosity keeps you continually alert for what’s new about people, places and things.

Lego mania gains steamToy teaches engineering, creativity, say enthusiastsBy Jennifer [email protected]
Lego love is storming the country in light of the popularity of the recently released “Lego Movie,” but for some, it never left.
“It’s all about imagination and dreaming about what you can do,” said Reed Yeager, who spends countless hours helping the Den-ver Lego Users Group, or DENLUG, build in-teractive Lego cities that they display publicly whenever they get the chance.
On Aug. 2, the group joined with the Col-orado and Wyoming Lego Users Group to showcase their work at Bemis Library. It was so popular that library staff had to politely but firmly let visitors, reluctant to leave, know it was closing time.
“It’s really cool,” said Ashley Baclawski, 9, as she checked out every detail. “It’s cool how all the different themes are all together.”
To be sure, Star Wars heroes were hanging out with Unikitties (half cat, half unicorn). A running train encircled a helicopter that had crashed into a Chik-fil-a, just feet away from a spinning Ferris wheel. Cowboys, robots and the Incredible Hulk had invaded the airport, and knights of old and British sentries alike defended a glowing purple castle.
The event was just for the day, but there are other Lego displays in the library that will remain through August. Abby Davis of the Colorado/Wyoming group said collectively hundreds of hours went into building the city, and it would take about three hours to disas-semble that evening.
“I didn’t get into Legos until my husband introduced them to me about six years ago,” she said. “But he was so into it, and he was building some really neat things, that I found it really fascinating. I like all the possibilities.”
The week before, Lucas Brooks spent a week priming some potential future members for the groups. An instructor at Play-Well, he spent three hours each morning teaching a group of 5- to 7-year-olds — all boys, by coin-cidence — to find the lessons in Legos.
“Play-Well is teaching engineering, with the medium being Legos,” he said as he herd-ed the kids, who didn’t want to stop building long enough to get the room at Englewood Civic Center straightened up. “I liked Legos as a kid. I taught in the classroom for the past several years, and I was just ready for a change. I enjoy engaging with the kids, and this is the most effective tool I’ve worked with in education.”
Play-Well is actually named after the toy.“Lego is an abbreviation of the two Danish
words `leg godt,’ meaning `play well,’” reads the Lego website. “It’s our name and it’s our ideal.”
Parents looking on said their kids loved the
class.“I had so much fun with them as a kid, and
he’s got Lego sets, so it seemed like a natural fit,” said Chris Johnson, father of 5-year-old Till. “I hope he’ll take some more building skills away with him.”
Back at Bemis, Ashley’s mom Kara said the “Lego Movie” has some other valuable lessons for kids, as well.
“It’s about following instructions and then breaking past that and creating something unique,” she said.
It’s a lesson voiced by Morgan Freeman as Vitruvius:
“Because the only thing anyone needs to be special is to believe that you can be. I know that sounds like a cat poster but it’s true. Look at what you did when you believed you were special. You just need to believe it some more.”

Kids have a blast during a Lego class at the Englewood Civic Center, with some learning snuck in.
This castle stands about 3 feet high and glows light purple, guarded by a �ock of Unikitties (half unicorn, half kitty, or course).
