Business tax breaks approved Council OKs $550,000 for three new arrivals By Chris Michlewicz [email protected]
Parker Town Council granted nearly $550,000 in tax breaks to three new busi-nesses that will increase the size of the lo-cal labor force.
Council approved tax incentive pack-ages July 21 for Culver’s restaurant, Great-West Life and Annuity Insur-ance, and the Parker Ga-rage, all three of which will bring jobs to Parker.
Culver’s, a Wisconsin-based fast-casual restau-rant chain that’s wildly popular in the Midwest, plans to open its 10th Colorado location on
the northeast corner of Mainstreet and Twenty Mile Road in spring 2015. They were approved for a sales-tax shareback and building permit fee rebate agreement worth $97,500 over a three-year term.
The 3,750-square-foot restaurant rep-resents a future investment of approxi-mately $1 million and will add as many as 50 new jobs, according to the agreement.

Waid Woodturning artist spins magic Ron Ferreira to appear with works at Parker’s annual Art in the Park By Chris Michlewicz [email protected]
The notion that his art might one day become an heirloom, passed down through a family he’ll never meet, mo-tivates Ron Ferreira to achieve perfec-tion.
Though he descends from a line of stone masons, Ferreira’s chosen medi-um is woodturning. It’s a practice that requires skill with tools and dyes and, of course, his hands. Retired from com-mercial construction, Ferreira joined a woodworking club in 2000 and started out on typical projects, but was soon intrigued by the idea of carving out a bowl.
His pieces gradually became more intricate, and after handing out fin-ished platters, candlestick holders and serving bowls to surprised friends and neighbors, Ferreira decided to start a business, known simply as “Woodturn-ings by Ron.” He revealed his talents to the public during his first show last year, but left with a slight feeling of dis-
appointment.“It broke my heart because I sold my
two favorite pieces last year,” he said. “But you can’t store them, and I have to get them out there.”
The Parker Artists Guild member is scheduled to appear at six art shows this year, including Art in the Park Aug. 16-17 at O’Brien Park, 10795 Victorian Dr. in Parker. The price of his artwork ranges from $50 to $500 for the more
elaborate creations.In a distinct Rhode Island accent,
Ferreira talks excitedly about experi-menting with grain patterns and care-fully applying iridescent dyes and choosing the right chunk of wood with which to start. Many of his pieces are made from fruit trees, some knocked down by a hurricane and others re-moved because they were too close

Douglas County School District staff proposed a way to fi x the district’s aging buildings without raising taxes, but the school board recently decided not to put the question on November’s ballot.
Board members unanimously adopted the resolution not to participate in the fall election, citing concerns with the state’s school funding formula, which they be-lieve already puts an unfair burden on Douglas County taxpayers.
But a member of DCSD’s fi scal over-sight committee said other factors are at play.
“I think there are bigger issues the board is facing they need to resolve,” Dave Usechek said. “There is no doubt in my mind there’s a need (for capital funding). But until there is positive support for the board, and no longer this bickering be-tween parents and the board, I am not willing to support giving additional funds. Both sides need to resolve their differenc-es and start working together for the best interests of kids.”
The board’s July 15 resolution said the
Fracking initiatives dropped Gov. Hickenlooper and Polis reach deal — task force created By Vic Vela [email protected]
Voters will not be weighing in on hydraulic fracturing this November after all.
Gov. John Hickenlooper and U.S. Rep. Jared Polis an-nounced 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 fracking on the November bal-lot were due for submission to the Secretary of State’s Offi ce.
The task force is part of a deal that the two Democrats reached in the days leading up to the announcement that will also end efforts by Polis to
place two anti-fracking ballot initiatives on the November ballot.
Later in the day, pro-frack-ing 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 dol-lars and potentially in politi-cal price for other candidates seeking offi ce this fall.
The Polis-backed initia-tives sought to increase set-back requirements for wells and would have also given communities greater control over oil and gas drilling op-erations. Pro-fracking groups had sought initiatives that could have had economic impacts on communities that ban fracking — the process by

‘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.

Third-party candidate works to sway votersWilliams challenges for seat in HD-44By Chris [email protected]
Lily Tang Williams has some very personal reasons for running as a Libertarian in her election bid for state House District 44.
Williams, a Chinese im-migrant who moved to the U.S. in 1988 for graduate studies, said she hopes to bring change to the House seat, which has long been held by Republicans. It is currently occupied by Chris Holbert, who is term-limited and is now running for Senate District 30.
For the first 23 years of her life, Williams said, she and her family were op-pressed by the regime of Mao Zedong, the longtime chairman of China’s Com-munist Party. This upbring-ing had a profound influ-ence on her decision to enter the political realm.
“We were very poor and, of course, we were very brainwashed,” said Wil-liams, who was raised in
the mountainous Sichuan province, which she calls the “wild west” of China.
Williams, of Parker, says the level of government corruption and fear-induc-ing oversight she witnessed
during her youth was a motivat-ing factor in mak-ing sure the same does not happen to her adop-tive home country.
Her mother and father did not receive a proper education, but they made sure that their daughter exercised her intelligence and had opportunities. Williams studied hard and graduated from a top-five law school in China before pursuing her master’s de-gree. She has since worked in corporate law, telecom-munications and real es-tate, but wants her next ca-reer to have an impact on the future.
In a wide-ranging in-terview July 24 that cov-ered topics from Second
Amendment rights to the legalization of marijuana (she’s for both), Williams said she believes America’s two major parties have run the country into the ground via “crony capitalism.” A former Republican who has had friends in both ma-jor parties, Williams said she saw enough to drive her to become a Libertar-ian, although she knows it’s an uphill battle in a histori-cally conservative district.
“I have been fighting for liberty all my life,” said Wil-liams, who supports per-sonal freedoms and smart deregulation. “Winning or not, I’m going to vote for my principles.”
Of the 223,000 registered voters in Douglas County, nearly one-third identify as independent or “other,” according to the county elections office. It’s those people Williams is hoping to convince.
“Some people are still conflicted and some are to-tally party-line people. It’s sad, but it’s a reality,” she said. “My goal is long-term, so people who can’t sup-port me today, I won’t push them.”

Horse park for sale, owner set to retire Founder wants to focus on family, immigration reform By Chris Michlewicz [email protected]
For someone who has done so much for the Douglas County community, Helen Krieble certainly has a lot of humility.
Krieble, the founder and president of the Colorado Horse Park, has decided to sell the world-class equestrian venue south of Parker and is searching for a “like-minded” buyer with an interest in keeping the horse park open.
“A lot of people have put their life blood into creating (the venue), and to turn it into a housing development would be a tragedy,” Krieble said, referring to offers that have already come in.
The facility opened in 1990 as High Prairie Farms. Krieble took over in 2002 and doubled the number of stables and arenas. Colorado Horse Park has hosted numerous international competitions, and last season was particularly successful in terms of attendance and performances from elite riders.
Krieble, 71, is ready to pursue other en-deavors. “It’s very sad that I have to leave, but there comes a time when you can’t continue,” she said. “I’m very proud of what we did. We accomplished something very wonderful, and last year truly was our best year, so it’s a nice way to go out.”
Krieble plans to step down Jan. 1 to put a greater focus on her work in immigration reform on behalf of a public policy founda-tion named for her late husband, Vernon. She will continue delivering speeches on the topic and plans to embark on a na-tionwide campaign to establish a “sensible program” to secure the nation’s borders, she said.
Krieble noted that she has split her time between the horse park and her political
activities, but no longer has any desire to work two full-time jobs. She will instead move back to Connecticut, where she grew up, to spend time with her family, includ-ing 10 grandchildren.
Looking back, Krieble takes immense pride in her years of community involve-ment, and said she is thankful that the community has in turn reciprocated the
gesture by supporting the horse park. She was “fl ab-bergasted” when the Parker Chamber of Commerce chose her as its Corner-stone Award winner in 2012. In typical fashion, Krieble defl ected any ac-colades, insisting that the selection committee “could have found somebody bet-ter,” but she nonetheless
characterized the honor as “a wonderful thing.”
When asked whether she might stay on in some capacity if the horse park is kept open, Krieble said she would “love to play a role, but not a big one.”
“The new owner will have their own ideas,” she said. “I’m old-fashioned. I think it needs a fresh look. They don’t need an old lady’s point of view.”
Although there would be no require-ment for the new owner to keep the venue operating, Krieble said it’s important to preserve the county’s equestrian roots. She is even willing to lower the price tag if a horse enthusiast takes over.
“The history and the heritage in Doug-las County has always been associated with the horse and to close this major equestri-an facility that keeps that alive would be a tragedy,” said Krieble, who noted that the county had more horses per capita than any other in the nation when she bought the 150-acre park.
The facility was put up for sale in 2009 for $11.5 million. The current asking price is unknown.

Carbon-regulation debate hits DenverOpponents of proposed rules fear �scal impactBy Vic [email protected]
A national debate over pro-posed new clean-air rules swept through Denver last week, result-ing in a values clash of job securi-ty and environmental protection that attracted visitors from the around the country.
Denver was one of four cit-ies chosen by the Environmental Protection Agency to hold hear-ings July 28 and 29 on proposed power plant regulations that are aimed at combating global warm-ing. The two-day hearings were held inside the EPA’s Region 8 of-fice in lower downtown Denver.
Through implementation of the agency’s new plan, President Obama’s administration has stat-ed it hopes to cut carbon-dioxide emissions by 30 percent over the next 16 years. Supporters view the rules as a necessary step toward addressing the impact of global warming.
“This is the issue of our time,” said Chris Arend of Conservation Colorado. “If we don’t take action we’re going to see a much differ-ent Colorado in ways we don’t re-ally know.”
At the same time the confer-
ence was being held, several op-ponents of the proposed rules ral-lied in Denver’s Lincoln Park on July 29 to denounce the regula-tions. Many were coal advocates who said the EPA regulations would kill jobs and cause energy prices to skyrocket in an already heavily regulated 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.”
Colorado is one of the top coal-producing states in the country. However, coal produc-tion has dropped over the years along with demand.
Still, miners like John Simonet, also of Craig, say their communi-ties depend on the industry and that increased regulations would only hurt them more.
“If this goes through, unfor-tunately everyone will probably have to go elsewhere to find work and probably even, worst-case scenario, create another ghost town in our neck of the woods,” Simonet said.
The EPA considers the green-house gas that emits from power plants to be the country’s largest source of carbon pollution. The organization says the pollution is a significant contributor to global
warming and can have long-term impacts 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-Lake-wood, who is the chairman of the House Transportation and Energy Committee, testified 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 be-tween 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 Col-orado has already taken the lead nationally in stemming carbon emissions. They point to recent legislation that has increased renewable energy mandates on utility companies and rural elec-tric 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 admin-istration’s rules. Because of that, Arend said he doesn’t see much of a job impact at coal plants be-
cause Colorado has already 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 Colo-rado 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 regu-lations are already having an adverse impact and that adding more rules is an “ill conceived” policy direction on the part of the Obama administration.
“All of us want clean air and
clean water,” Beauprez said. “The people that are closest to the in-dustry ought to be concerned about negative impacts more than anybody, and they’re the ones here saying, `Let us keep our jobs.’ We have never done en-ergy cleaner, safer, more efficient in the history of mankind. That’s something we ought to celebrate, not punish.”
But supporters of regulations say complacency is not an option.
“There is absolutely no doubt that humans are destroying the climate that allows us to have an economy at all,” Tyler said. “There is no doubt at all that humans are causing serious climate disrup-tion. It’s as certain as gravity.”

Cops say man drove drunk on three wheels Parker resident taken to hospital, then jail By Chris Michlewicz [email protected]
Jodi Arcese was stopped at the traffi c light at South Parker Road and Orchard Road when she heard a strange noise.
The Parker resident was returning from dinner July 19 with her daughter and her daughter’s friend. Arcese turned down the radio and the sound grew louder, like it was getting closer. Then she looked in her rear-view mirror.
“All I see is this truck coming from be-hind me like a bat out of hell on fi re,” she said.
A red Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup was barreling down the road at a high rate of speed — on three wheels.
The exposed right front axle scraped
the concrete and threw sparks into the air, and the truck swerved across the roadway as the driver tried to maintain control. The front passenger side was partially missing. A separate vehicle was driving behind the truck with its hazard lights fl ashing, trying to keep pace, Arcese said.
She began following at a safe distance while the truck continued south on Parker Road, running red lights.
“I was thinking he must have stolen this truck because no one in their right mind would do this to their own vehicle,” Arcese said.
She lost sight of the Chevrolet near the Arapahoe-Douglas county line, but soon came upon a small grass fi re in a fi eld be-hind the vacant King Soopers building in Cottonwood. Arcese said she was afraid the truck was going to hit another vehicle and was surprised that no police cars were fol-lowing. She eventually saw a Parker police patrol car turn onto Longs Way, and she followed.
Arcese pulled into the RTD park-n-Ride
lot, where she saw a man walking away from the truck. An offi cer, who reported seeing fl uid leaking from the vehicle and heavy smoke coming from the missing tire area, was approaching the man, later iden-tifi ed as Kurt Koniceck, 35, of Parker.
“I spoke with Kurt and asked him what had happened to his ve-hicle, and he shrugged his shoulders,” the Parker of-fi cer wrote in an incident report. “Kurt also shrugged his shoulders when I asked where he was coming from.”
When asked how much he had to drink
prior to driving, Koniceck allegedly said “too much,” but denied being behind the wheel. The offi cer said he observed signs of intoxication, including bloodshot eyes and the smell of alcohol. Koniceck declined to perform roadside sobriety maneuvers and refused a chemical blood test. He was ar-rested and taken to the hospital after com-
plaining of chest and rib pain, the police report said.
Koniceck was later booked into the Douglas County Detention Center in Cas-tle Rock, where an offi cer overheard Koni-ceck allegedly say, “I’m sorry guys. I really (messed) up tonight.” He faces charges of careless driving and driving under the in-fl uence of alcohol or drugs.
Numerous witnesses called 9-1-1 when they saw the truck driving erratically. One man who arrived at the scene said he made a video recording of the melee and saw the truck hit a guardrail near Interstate 25 and Hampden Avenue. The arresting offi cer later learned that debris from an accident was found near Interstate 25 and I-225, but no vehicle was located.
Arcese returned to the fi eld near King Soopers and saw several police and fi re personnel trying to extinguish the brush fi re, which had grown to a size of 10 feet by 3 feet, the report said. She said she was amazed no one got injured throughout the ordeal.
Missing teen found; man facing charges Oklahoma resident could receive life in prison By Christy Steadman [email protected]
An Oklahoma City man could face life in prison if convicted on a charge of taking a 13-year-old Doug-las County girl to Okla-homa with the intention of engaging in illicit sexual conduct with her.
Mark Sumpter, 43, was arrested July 17 in Okla-homa City on the charge of transportation of a mi-nor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, according to a news release
issued by the U.S. Depart-ment of Justice.
Sumpter’s case is being heard in federal court in Oklahoma City.
According to court doc-uments, the Oklahoma City police notifi ed the FBI “that they had recovered an en-dangered 13-year-old run-away girl” on June 27 from an apartment in the city.
The documents state that the parents of the 13-year-old girl fi led a missing persons report with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Offi ce on June 21. The DCSO reportedly con-ducted an investigation of the girl’s social media ac-counts, which led law en-forcement to the Oklahoma City apartment by obtain-ing Internet subscriber in-
formation for the IP address.
A c -cording to the docu-m e n t s , S u m p t e r and the girl
fi rst had contact with each other in November 2013, and “developed an online
relationship … that turned sexual” via the Internet-based messaging, video and chat sites of Kik, cha-thour.com and Skype.
Sumpter allegedly told his roommate that the girl was his daughter, and con-vinced him to drive him to Colorado to pick her up, according to court docu-ments. The men reportedly
picked her up at a location within walking distance of her home, “drove immedi-ately back to Oklahoma” and stayed at the Okla-homa City apartment from June 21 through June 27.
Sumpter is being held without bond. He appeared before a U.S. magistrate in Oklahoma City on July 18 for preliminary proceed-
ings. A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Offi ce, West District in Oklahoma, stated that Sumpter will next appear after the pros-ecution presents an indict-ment to a federal grand jury.
Sumpter may accrue additional charges, the spokesperson said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
More than one `right’ answerThe slogan “red, right and blue” has ev-
erything to do with the reason our govern-ment can’t get anything done.
The implication is that there is only one “right” answer, opinion or way to be. What happened to the diversity that founded this nation?
What rights are being protected by the proponents of this position? They claim they stand behind the rights this country was founded on — the right to have our own opinions and to celebrate our differ-ences — but those are the exact rights they seem to be trying to squelch.
It is this expectation that there is only one “right” way that keeps our govern-ment from getting anything done. It cannot govern without the foundational skill of negotiation. It is, after all, intended (and invented) to be a government by the people for the people. We (the people) are not a homogenous, single-minded unit. We are, thankfully, diverse. Thus the need (and brilliance) of checks and balances built into our government process.
If they think they can avoid negotiating, they are dreaming. And it’s a nightmare.

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 outcome 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. An-other 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 com-panies alike. I see it in associations and organizations of all kinds. And I have wit-nessed 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 incred-ible opportunities presented to them could benefi t so much by leveraging 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 truly accelerate our successes in life.

“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 differ-ently 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.”

alone or do you believe that teamwork could accelerate success? Either way I would love to hear all about it at [email protected]. And when we come together for the greater good or a com-mon cause, it really will be a better than good week.

Bill 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 paying for services that may or may not be work-ing. This is the type of approach that can and should apply to a range of govern-ment services. It’s also the type of ap-proach Republican Sen. Rob Portman and I took when crafting the recently passed Pay-for-Success Act — which works to make federal job training programs more effective and responsive to what employ-ers want.
When I meet with business owners from all across the state, from the Western Slope to the San Luis Valley, from large manufacturers to small information tech-nology companies, there is one thing that they have in common: a challenge fi nding workers with skills that match their busi-ness 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 work-ers, 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 thousands 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 workforce 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 mil-lion, 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 Coloradans 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.

Helpers honored for heroic actionsSouth Metro Fire honors citizens who stepped up to help out in times of needBy Chris [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 first tee box at The Meadows Golf Club in south Jefferson County. In fact, he had trained them to use the automated external defibrillator 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 presented a lifesaving award to the employees of The Meadows and West Metro responders dur-ing 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 father survived his scare.
“It’s nice to meet them outside of a hospi-tal 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 thunderous ap-plause for their actions. Fire Chief Dan Qual-man 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 Mar-
tin’s emergency services division.Lindeman was a few vehicles away from a
horrific 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 Lindeman held her in such a way that she could continue to breathe.
“There is no doubt about it,” said Marcos Mocine-McQueen, the South Metro para-medic who was among the first emergency personnel on scene, “maintaining her air-way was key to her survival.”
Lindeman provided an assessment of the woman’s injuries and detailed his life-saving measures to that point, the exact information Mocine-McQueen needed to keep her alive on the way to the hospital,
he said. Lindeman had also stabilized the victim’s cervical spine. Two months later, the woman is still recovering in the hospi-tal, but Lindeman’s selflessness gave her another chance.
“He stepped in because he cares about people,” said Mocine-McQueen, who pre-sented the award. “She has kids and grand-kids that she’s going to get to spend more time with.”

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:
• 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.
• Robert Rinne, a South Metro firefighter who was off duty when he administered CPR on a woman who was eating at Mag-giano’s. He also cleared her obstructed air-way before medics arrived.
• Joseph W. Ratcliff II, Bryan Schoff, Deborah Hall, David Tegtmeyer and Chris Sharp, who helped residents escape a burning apartment building in Centen-nial when the stairwell leading outside was blocked by flames. They pitched in by put-ting mattresses in the bed of a pickup truck so residents on higher floors 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 fighting 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 Lin-coln Meadows Senior Living, who are re-sponsible for assisting with emergency sit-uations, including nighttime evacuations.

Lincoln Station moving full steam aheadDevelopment’s transit-oriented project picking up speed as economy reboundsBy Jane [email protected]
When the Clock Tower Grill opened in Lincoln Station in October 2009, its staff felt a bit lonely.
The southeast light rail extension had opened in late 2006, but a battered econ-omy delayed construction of many of the other buildings planned near the light rail stop that opened in November 2006.
“I think then it was more about the po-tential,” general manager Tyler Thompson said of the restaurant owner’s decision to open at Lincoln Station.
Five years later, that potential is coming to life, and the landscape looks strikingly different. A boutique salon, ballet fitness studio and other businesses share the Sta-tion Street building, which now is flanked by other buildings housing offices and medical suites.
Public art, including the iridescent glass piece “Sun Stream” erected on the side of Lincoln Station’s five-story parking garage and a plaza with a water feature, give visi-
tors and light rail riders reasons to linger a while.
Construction is under way on an apart-ment complex a stone’s throw from the res-taurant’s door along Park Meadows Drive, and another, larger complex is planned for construction this fall on the site’s west end.
Just across Park Meadows Drive, Kaiser Permanente’s six-story, 275,000-square-foot multi-specialty building opened in late 2013.
“Some of the plans have not come to fruition, but a lot of them have,” Thompson said. “Kaiser, the apartment buildings — it’s a great area.”
With existing apartment complexes like the Metropolitan already next door and two others soon to come, the Clock Tower staff no longer minds its once-isolated post.
“It’s nice we’re the only game in town for walking distance,” Thompson said.
The 35-acre property, while abutting the City of Lone Tree, is located in unincorpo-rated Douglas County.
Lincoln Station’s evolution follows the path of most transit-oriented develop-ments, which are designed as mixed-use, high-density residential and commercial areas focused on access to public transpor-tation.
The complex currently under construc-
tion on Station Street east of Park Meadows Drive will include 101 units. The Lofts at Lincoln Station, developed by Niebur De-velopment, is described as a Class-A, luxu-ry property. It will include a mix of one- and two-bedroom units, average 787-square-feet each. Niebur anticipates leasing units in early 2015.
Construction on a second apartment complex between Station Way and the Met-ropolitan apartments will begin late this
year, and wrap up in mid-2016. The Cam-den Property Trust project includes about 270 units. Rent for the units, which range in size from 570 to 1,250-square-feet, will average $1,400.
Camden operates several apartment complexes in the Denver area, including Camden Belleview Station. Like its planned Lone Tree complex, it is within walking dis-tance of the Belleview light rail station.
The complex developing around the Lincoln light rail station includes a water feature and public art. Two apartment complexes with a total of 371 units are planned there. Photo by Jane Reuter
Lengthy I-25 project to start this month‘Lane balancing’ project expected to take 2-plus years By Jane [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 officials said the lengthy construction period was created in deference to the traveling public.
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 Decem-
ber 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 dur-ing the day, but we are required to maintain those lanes. We will have reduced speed limits, and that does cause backups. So you will see some disruption.”
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 intersec-tions 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-balanc-ing construction between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., but Morgan said about three hours of each night shift is consumed with closing and reopening 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.

and Twenty Mile Road and requested the tax incentives, the project has since been put on indefi nite hold while the company’s new chief executive offi cer reviews expan-sion plans. Joe Greene, a spokesman for Great-West, said he should know in late fall whether the project will move forward.
The insurance company, which is head-quartered in the Denver Tech Center, had a two-phase plan to build roughly 120,000 square feet of offi ce space and hire 350 new employees, with an average salary of $67,000. Approximately 50 employees would be transferred from the DTC offi ce, but any of the proposed numbers could change, Greene said.
Attracting companies that bring “high-
er-paid daytime employment” to Parker has been one of town council’s goals, said Mayor Mike Waid.
The town approved the requested tax break to remain competitive with other cit-ies that Great-West was considering for re-location. The incentive package would re-bate 100 percent of building fees and waive use taxes and fees, for a total of $260,000.
“Economic favorability” was one of the many factors Great-West took into account when deciding on Parker, said Greene, who noted that many existing employees com-mute from Parker.
“Parker just made a whole lot of sense for us,” he said.
Applicants must demonstrate a need for fi nancial assistance, which was the case with the owners of the Parker Garage, who are renovating the former Warhorse Inn and creating a concept that celebrates the history of the spot. Their investment will be roughly $900,000, and town council gave
the green light for $200,000 in tax incen-tives over a fi ve-year period. Approximately 35 employees will be hired.
Waid said applications are thoroughly reviewed and the incentive amount is de-termined on a case-by-case basis.
“They have to show that either the proj-ect wouldn’t happen or wouldn’t happen in a timely fashion,” he said. “We have denied some in the past where they have basically come in after the fact for free money.”
Waid clarifi ed that “the town is not out writing checks” but rather rebating a por-tion of sales tax revenue over several years. He said the subsidies enable the town to compete with neighboring jurisdictions, and pointed to a package that convinced Costco to locate at E-470 and South Parker Road instead of E-470 and Gartrell Road as a successful example. The move “paid off in spades” because Costco’s sales tax revenue helped keep Parker in positive fi gures in 2008 when the economy tanked.

$3.4 million in budget changes get OK Nearly half goes to library/park site By Chris Michlewicz [email protected]
Town council has approved more than $3.4 million worth of appropriations to Parker’s 2014 budget.
The unanimous vote July 21 moved $2.4 million to the public improvement fund and included a $564,000 supplemental revision to the general fund budget. The town’s home rule charter allows council to make additional appropriations during the fi scal year for unanticipated expendi-tures.
Sometimes the changes are a matter of reallocating money from one fund to an-other, or placing money generated by the sale of bonds, of example, into the correct coffer. In other cases, the costs for a project will be reimbursed later by another agency or business, as is the case with the $300,000
being spent to improve the intersection at Parker Road and Woodman Drive. Those funds will be fully reimbursed by Loaf N Jug, which operates a convenience store on the southwest corner.
Douglas County and the Douglas Coun-ty School District will pay back $195,000 for a traffi c signal on Hilltop Road at the easternmost access point to Legend High School.
But appropriations are also the result of decisions made after offi cial approv-al of the annual budget. Council added $100,000 to the general fund budget for the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center to “expand the performance market” through national acts, the ordinance said.
For the town to move its economic development offi ce to the former Parker Water and Sanitation District headquar-ters downtown, it will pay $30,000 for rent, $30,000 for professional and technical services from the real estate transaction, $10,000 for furniture, fi xtures and equip-ment, and $22,500 for “connectivity” asso-ciated with the building.
An appropriation of $12,000 will pay for a consultant to weigh in on Xcel Energy’s proposal to construct a new high-voltage transmission line. Another $32,300 will go toward costs associated with the Main-street Master Plan, a document that will specify visions and priorities for the down-town corridor.
Parker allocated $1.6 million for fi nal
design costs and the fi rst phase of con-struction at the East Mainstreet site across from town hall, where Douglas County Libraries will build a new library. Parker is planning to put a public park/plaza ad-jacent to the library. A tentative timeline calls for construction in 2015 and a grand opening in 2016, the Town of Parker’s web-site says.

state’s funding formula sends a disproportionate share of Douglas County taxes to other Colorado school dis-tricts, leaving DCSD “consistently underfunded.”
“The board is convinced that, because Douglas County taxpayers believe they are paying top-dollar for statewide education in the form of substantial income, sales, property and other taxes, they are simply unlike-ly to approve any local ballot measure that will further increase their tax burden,” the resolution reads.
DCSD is among the lowest-funded districts in Colo-rado. If it received the average state per-pupil funding for 2014-15, it would boost its revenues by about $269 per student — a total of $17.2 million.
At that rate, it would take 16 years to cover the $275 million in unmet capital needs.
Members of DCSD’s Long Range Planning Commit-tee have for years warned the board about deteriorat-ing conditions in many of its aging buildings. DCSD has $275 million in unfunded capital needs over the next five years, according to the committee, a number that grows by $35 million each year the needs are not addressed.
DCSD chief financial officer Bonnie Betz recently proposed seeking voter approval to issue general obli-gation bonds without raising tax rates. Betz called the idea to leverage additional funds a “win-win.” Without such action, taxpayers eventually will see a decrease in their annual tax obligation to the schools.
Voters passed a similar refinancing mechanism in the Littleton Public Schools district last November.
Issues presented in the Long Range Planning Com-mittee’s 2014-15 Capital Master Plan include aging buses, boilers and roofs; outdated technology; cracked parking lots; unraveling carpet; safety and security needs; and new construction prompted by near-ca-pacity schools.
“This seems urgent to me,” DCSD chief operations officer Thomas Tsai told the board during a June pre-sentation to the board.
The resolution also states DCSD will continue studying fiscally responsible ways to address the dis-trict’s capital needs.
Long Range Planning Committee Chair Todd Warn-ke said the group will continue following the resolu-tion’s directive to educate the community on the issue, gather feedback and return to the board with alterna-tives. That could include putting the issue on the No-vember 2015 ballot, the last chance DCSD would have to continue the current tax rate.
Once tax rates begin to fall in 2016 and residents become adjusted to those lower assessments, Usechek said it would be tough to raise them back up.
“Until they get their ducks in a row, (passing any question) is not viable,” he said. “They’d better do it before 2015 because that’s the last window of opportu-nity there is for no tax increase.”

Ballot Union numbers declining Reasons behind decrease in teachers’ membership depend on who’s talking By Jane Reuter [email protected]
Membership in Douglas County’s teachers’ union has dropped from about 70 percent of the district’s teach-ers in 2012 to around 50 percent, its president said.
The 47-year collective bargaining agreement be-tween the Douglas County School District and the Douglas County Federation expired after negotiations failed in 2012.
School board member Doug Benevento said the decrease points to a failure of leadership, but union president Courtney Smith said it’s a combination of teacher attrition and district roadblocks.
“Teachers are fleeing that union as quickly as they can,” Benevento said. “The union leadership is in it for the union leadership, and not for the rank and file.”
Smith said many of the teachers who have recently left DCSD were union members who can’t continue their DCF affiliation outside Douglas County.
“That’s new for us because for years and years and years, teachers in Douglas County stayed their en-tire careers,” she said. “They’re not fleeing the union. They’re fleeing the district.
“Maybe the school board should worry less about my membership, and more about finding out why they lost 555 teachers.”
Recently released figures from the Colorado De-partment of Education show 17.3 percent — or 555 — of DCSD’s teachers left their positions in 2013-14.
The numbers are collected mid-year and do not re-flect turnover after Dec. 1 of any academic year, or in-district promotions or transfers.
Of those 555 teachers, DCSD said 85 were trans-ferred or promoted within the district.
The CDE shows the district had 3,361 teachers in
2013-14.In 2011-12, the year before the collective bargain-
ing agreement expired, DCSD teacher turnover was 11.24 percent, according to CDE records.
Benevento and school board president Kevin Lars-en wrote in a July 21 letter to Smith that the decrease in union membership shows, “it is clear that voters and teachers believe the leadership of the DCF is not in touch with the community.” They urged Smith to re-engage the community and “disavow the past prac-tice of attacks and untruths.”
The letter was delivered to Smith the night before her July 25 address to a Highlands Ranch Republican breakfast group.
The board members cited union involvement in school board elections, opposition to the pay-for-performance system introduced in 2012 and previous union leadership that “showed virtually no commit-ment to its members” among their ongoing concerns with the organization.
The union recently challenged the validity of the district’s teacher pay system, but the Colorado De-partment of Education concluded it complied with state law.
Smith said the DCF is working to rebuild its mem-bership numbers with new teachers. But that’s a chal-lenge because it no longer participates in new-teacher orientations and trainings.
“We have to reach the new teachers on our own,” she said.
Although DCSD has a Center for Professional De-velopment, the teachers’ union will reintroduce pro-fessional development classes to its members.
It also introduced a sliding scale on dues, offering a $31-per-month fee to teachers paid at the lowest end of DCSD’s market-based pay scale.
The regular DCF monthly dues payment is $48.98.“We want as many of them to be able to afford
membership as possible,” she said. The union “gives teachers and employees a collective voice, and a col-lective protection against the reforms and what’s hap-pening in the school district.”

School bells ring for most Aug. 11Douglas County cites new features for academic yearBy Jane [email protected]
Alissa Oster and her mother are excited about the Aug. 11 start of school, but for very different reasons.
“I can get back into the routine I like,” said mom Suzanne Keilt, mother of four Douglas County School District students. “Summer can get kind of chaotic.”
“I’m really excited because I get to see one of my friends, and I’m going to be a junior so I’ll be an upperclassmen,” said 16-year-old Oster, who attends Highlands Ranch High School.
Oster is enthused about an interior de-sign class she plans to take, apprehensive about math, and intrigued by chemistry.
“I heard chemistry was fun,” she said. “But I’m getting a lot of the new teachers next year. That’s one thing I’m not real ex-cited for. So I’m on and off about it.”
Most Douglas County students return to school Aug. 11, though some charter schools and other schools have different starting dates. Check your school’s website or www.dcsdk12.org for calendars and oth-er information.
We asked the Douglas County School District what’s new for the 2014-15 aca-demic year. Here is the district’s response:
• DCSD Strategic Plan: The new 2014-17 DCSD Strategic Plan features four priori-ties: Safety, Choice, World Class Education and System Performance. We have long said that safety is our number one prior-ity. With the new Strategic Plan, we move safety forward as our first priority.
• SchoolMessenger: Launched in the spring of 2014, SchoolMessenger is a reli-able and robust messaging system used for emergency communication with parents and staff.
• Professional Development module for InspirED Innovation: This new module will support a focus on alignment, sustainabil-ity and continuous quality improvement. The PD module will help staff find the courses that best align to learning needs — such as an individual teacher searching
for a course aligned to their professional growth plan and their CITE evaluation, a principal looking for courses tied to school data, a classified staff member seeking to enhance their skills, or The Center for Pro-fessional Development using the informa-tion as a needs assessment. In turn, this data will be used to show growth in indi-vidual and system skills and performance.
• DCSD Mobile App: Stay tuned for the new and improved version of the DCSD mobile app. It will be available for free on iTunes and GooglePlay.
• DCSD Parent University: Parent Uni-versity will educate, empower and connect families with community resources needed to provide confidence, character devel-opment and life skills. A parent advisory group and district leaders have collabo-rated to create a robust list of courses and seminars. DCSD Parent University registra-tion will open on Sept. 9.
• DCSD Parent Liaison: In May 2014, DCSD added the Office of Parent Liaison to connect parents with district resources and leaders. The DCSD Parent Liaison will work closely with school accountability commit-tees, maintain a social media presence and serve as a liaison.
• DCSD Choice Fairs: DCSD will host three Choice Fairs to showcase schools and district programs. This is an opportu-nity for parents and students to learn more about what makes each school unique and choose a school that best fits their needs.
• Castle View High School: The Mosaic Collective is a pilot program being imple-mented this year for a group of ninth- and 10th-graders. The new program will ad-dress the personalized learning needs of each student in a transformational learn-ing environment. Teachers will collaborate with each student to develop curriculum aligned with that particular student’s pas-sion and interest. At the same time, the teacher will also ensure the individual stu-dent learns critical standards and skills.
“I’m convinced this is going to be our best year ever,” reads an emailed statement attributed to Superintendent Elizabeth Fa-gen. “Our work continued this summer and we are ready to welcome students back into the classroom. The energy and excitement from our students and staff is contagious.”

Local groups team up for kidsBy Jane [email protected]
Five Douglas County entities teamed up to make going back to school a lot more pleasant for about 640 area stu-dents.
The Douglas County Educational Foundation (DCEF), Douglas/Elbert Task Force, Douglas County Libraries, the Giv-ing Tree and Fresh Harvest Food Bank provided school supply kits to families during an Aug. 2 event at the food bank in Lone Tree.
Students received backpacks and
school supply kits provided through Staples’ Kits for Kidz that included cray-ons, paper, markers, scissors and other age-appropriate items. In addition to the Staples’ kits, Douglas County Libraries donated $1,000 worth of flash drives.
“It doesn’t meet every need, but we distilled it down to the essentials,” said Krista Zizzo, a program coordinator for the DCEF.
She estimated the value of the items each student received at between $30 and $50.
Surplus supplies from the event will be made available to teachers.

Vote for lawsuit spurs another partisan splitGOP claim against Obama has Democrats shaking headsBy Vic [email protected]
Colorado congressional Republicans insist that last week’s vote to sue Presi-dent Obama was a necessary response to “overreach” on the part of his adminis-tration.
But their Democratic counterparts slammed Republicans for taking time just before leaving Washington for the summer recess to hold a purely parti-san vote to sue the president rather than address issues that actually matter to Americans.
“What they’re doing certainly doesn’t do anything to help the middle class of America,” said Democratic Rep. Ed Perl-mutter.
The Republican-led House voted 225-201 to approve a resolution to autho-rize House Speaker John Boehner to sue Obama on claims that the president has abused his power and has ignored the Constitution.
No Democrats voted for the lawsuit and five Republicans also voted no.
Republicans claim that Obama has overreached on a number of areas where
he has taken executive action.But the lawsuit focuses specifically
on the president’s decision to delay key provisions of the Affordable Care Act. Republicans are unhappy that the presi-dent did not consult with Congress prior to taking action to delay the requirement that businesses provide health coverage to their employees.
Democrats find it funny that the lawsuit focuses on a provision delay of Obamacare — a health care law that Re-publicans didn’t want to see implement-ed to begin with.
Republican Rep. Cory Gardner said he voted for the lawsuit because “we have an obligation to uphold the Constitution and the Constitution requires a separa-tion of powers.”
“The president has stepped across this line and has engaged in unilateral lawmaking,” Gardner said. “He’s weak-ened the legislative branch and strength-ened the executive branch at the expense of the legislative branch.”
Republican Rep. Mike Coffman said that if Democrats valued the preserva-tion of constitutional separation of pow-ers, they should have joined Republicans in voting for the lawsuit.
“It absolutely should have been bipar-tisan because I think that anybody serv-ing the Congress ought to be concerned about executive overreach, whether it’s a
Republican in the White House or a Dem-ocrat in the White House,” Coffman said. “I think that we are co-equal branches of government and anybody serving in the Congress ought to be interested in pre-serving the power of the institution.”
But the public doesn’t seem to agree. Although Obama’s approval ratings con-tinue to be anemic, results from a recent CNN/ORC International poll show that respondents oppose the lawsuit by a 57-41 percent ratio.
Coffman said he doesn’t concern him-self with the possibility that voters might respond adversely to Republican efforts to sue the president.
“I only focus on what I’m doing,” he said. “I don’t focus on the Republican Party. I don’t focus on Washington, D.C. I focus on what the voters in the district focus on.”
But Perlmutter said if that’s the case, then why aren’t Republicans focusing on passing legislation that matters to the public?
“That’s what they’re spending their time on,” Perlmutter said of the law-suit. “Instead of getting things done for Americans across the country, they’re su-ing the president and they can’t get done immigration reform, infrastructure, edu-cation, retirement security ... stuff that’s important that doesn’t get done.”

which water and chemicals are blasted into the ground to free up trapped oil and gas un-derneath.
Also as part of the agreement, Hicken-looper 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 agreement to pull the ballot measures.
Hickenlooper and the oil and gas industry had opposed Polis’ efforts, concerned that the initiatives would be akin to a fracking ban in a state that relies on drilling to feed the economy.
And Democrats were concerned that an expensive fracking battle would hurt candi-dates 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 announced he is backing off of his efforts to continue to pursue the ini-tiatives, measures that he had been helping to finance.
Polis said during a hastily-called Capitol press conference that he considers the cre-ation 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 protect 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 areas,” according to the gov-ernor’s office.
The task force would be made up a diverse group of members from across all business fields. Members would include representa-tives from the industries of oil and gas, con-servation, agriculture, homebuilders and lo-cal governments and civic leaders.
The task force would make recommenda-tions on fracking issues to the Legislature.
Fight over for nowAlthough the agreement had been an-
nounced 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 alloca-tion.
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 initiative, which would have dealt with financial disclosure is-sues of future ballot measures that deal with
energy development, was also dropped.Hickenlooper had cautioned for months
that the ballot initiatives could have “draco-nian” results on an industry that generates jobs and contributes billions of dollars to the Colorado economy.
For months, the governor held out hope of calling a special session to address local con-trol issues surrounding fracking, only to call off those efforts last month after a compro-mise had failed to materialize.
It now appears that the governor doesn’t have to worry about an expensive fight over fracking in November.
“The (task force) will provide an alterna-tive to ballot initiatives that, if successful, would have regulated the oil and gas industry through the rigidity of constitutional amend-ments and would have imposed a significant threat to Colorado’s economy,” Hickenlooper said.
As for the Longmont litigation, Hicken-looper 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 surrounding 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 end-ed.
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 un-answered questions.”
Colorado Republican Chairman 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 already heavily regulated energy industry,” Call said through an emailed state-ment.
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’ ef-forts.
The senator issued a statement 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 Colorado benefits when we find common 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 rami-fications to halt his efforts.
“I would say no,” Polis said. “The Demo-crats in my district were very excited about these initiatives and the chance to fight it out and protect their homes. Obviously this will be disappointing 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.”

Colorado, unveiled its new costumed mascot character on July 27 at the zoo’s fi rst Teddy Bear Care Fair.

Tip a glass at Art & Ale festVisitors to sample brews while viewing, creating artBy Chris [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 Experi-ence, on Peoria Street south of Lincoln Avenue near Parker, the festival will gather 50 brewer-ies 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 con-noisseurs, an ice sculpture demonstration.
The Art & Ale Brew Festival, which draws nearly four times as many attendees as the museum’s annual Art & Wine fest, has become so popular that organizers have to turn away some breweries and cap the number of tick-ets sold because of capacity constraints, said Christopher Goetz, events and promotions
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 craving 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.thewildlifeexperience.org as soon as possible, as the brew festival is expected to sell out. Tickets for non-members are $40 and members are $35. Door admis-sion will be $40 if any tickets are left. Desig-nated drivers can get in for $25.

Local restaurants get big exposure at TasteEvent to feature food from more than 50 Douglas County vendors, along with cook-o� By Mike [email protected]
More than 50 different restaurants and food vendors will fill the Douglas County Events Center for the 12th annual Taste of Douglas County on Aug. 21.
Some names will be as big as Outback Steakhouse and Old Chicago Pizza. But it’s the little guys who really get the chance to shine.
“It’s a wonderful event. It’s really a celebra-tion of all the great food and restaurants that we have here in the county and it’s an oppor-tunity for the restaurant owners, especially the people who own the smaller, local places, to have people try their food and get their name out there,” said John Delay, owner of the Pega-sus Restaurant in downtown Castle Rock, 313 Jerry Street.
For smaller restaurants that don’t feel that they can support a booth at the event, there
will also be a food court where restaurants can send in food to be passed out by the event wait staff.
“Not everyone can be Outback Steakhouse or Maggiano’s,” said Taste of Douglas County organizer and radio personality Mike Boyle, who hosts a restaurant talk show on KNUS 710 AM. “We want to make sure that regard-less of the size of your restaurant, we have an opportunity for you to promote yourself and get the word out.”
New this year at the event will be a cooking competition that will pit five of the county’s restaurants against each other, including Old Stone Church, Crave Real Burgers, Manna Restaurant, LYFE Kitchen and Blue Nectar Mexican Grill.
Each competitor will submit any single dish of their choosing for a taste test by a panel of judges.
“We’re always looking for ways to improve the event and we got a lot of people coming to us and saying `how about a competition,’” said Boyle.
A judge’s award and a people’s choice award will be given out to winners of the event.
Taste-goers will also have the opportunity
to spin a prize wheel to win gift certificates from area restaurants like L & L Hawaiian Barbecue, Bonefish Grill, Brewery Bar III and LoDo’s Bar & Grill.
Restaurants will also offer menus, coupons and other incentives for you to visit their es-tablishments.
“I’ve been to every food festival in the state, and I’m not going to say this is better than that or who the best is, but the event is as good as any in Colorado,” Boyle said. “You could spend a couple thousand dollars and go to something like Aspen Food and Wine, but for $10 you’re going to have an equally great experience in Douglas County.”
This year’s restaurants will include Old Stone Church, John Holly’s Asian Bistro, LYFE Kitchen, Pegasus Restaurant, Black Eyed Pea, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, B & B Cafe, India’s Castle, Casa Caliente Mexican Restaurant, Ali Baba Mediterranean Grill and Crave Real Burgers among others.
The Taste of Douglas County will be held from 5-8 p.m. Aug.21 at the Douglas County Events Center, 500 Fairgrounds Rd. in Castle Rock. Vendors will offer selections ranging from appetizers to main courses and desserts.
Tickets are $20 at the door and $10 if
bought in in advance. Children 4-years-old and under are free. To buy tickets and see the full list of restaurants, visit www.tasteofdoug-lascounty.com.
Admission includes a sampling of food from each of the different restaurants.
A variety of cuisine is available each year at the Taste of Douglas County. Cambozola cheese crostini with roasted garlic, fresh panzanella, basil and basalmic syrup was one option available from Castle Rock’s Siena in 2012. File photo

Speaker shoots wildlife in the nicest way Camera club to host nature photographer By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]
“Our Wonderful World of Wildlife” is Russ Burden’s title for his 20-minute program that features photos of mammals, birds, insects and more, photographed both locally and dur-ing the nature photography tours he conducts.
Slides are accompanied by music, offering a mini-escape from reality. He will present the program at 7 p.m. Aug. 12 for the Englewood Camera Club’s monthly meeting at Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit 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 (Africa is a new destination), connecting photographers and nature. He replied to our in-quiry from Glacier National Park, where he is conducting two tours, photographing the spectacular scenery and wildlife.
His website offers a nice hint for those who can’t contem-plate a long journey to Africa right now: zoo photography. 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 Photographer” on his well-organized website: RussBurdenPhotography.com.

to power lines. Ferreira jokes that his actual favorite type of wood is “free.”
He sometimes wakes up at 3 or 4 a.m. with a project idea, puts on a pot of coffee, and disappears into the garage, where he keeps his lathe and most of his tools.
“Once I get going on it, I can’t
stop,” he says. “It’s very addictive.”The Parker resident is stead-
fast in his belief that woodturning is an art, not a craft, and should be treated as such, although it re-quires some explanation for casual observers.
A few of Ferreira’s bowls are tex-tured and pierced with a dental drill-like tool that carves out non-geometrical holes into wood that has been carved down to a width of one-sixteenth of an inch.
Patience and precision are cru-cial, just like in more known art
forms like acrylic painting and sculpturing.
As with most artists, the most gratifying feeling comes when an enthusiastic customer stops by Ferreira’s booth and expresses a deep appreciation for his work.
“That’s what I’m there for,” he said. “I want to see that, watch their face light up.”
For more information, stop by Ferreira’s booth at Art in the Park or visit his Facebook page by typ-ing “Woodturnings by Ron” into the search field.

Lutheran choir to sing in Springs Parker students going to state conference By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]
“Lutherans have a wonderful tradition of singing and music throughout our history. It is a privilege to carry that on in our schools and churches today,” said Christopher Loesel, choir director at Parker Lutheran High School.
He is elated because he has learned that the 14 members of his select Jubilate Choir will sing for the Colorado Music Educators Association at the annual January state conference — an exciting opportunity for the students, and for him. It is scheduled Jan. 28-31 at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs.
“Choosing a program for a group of music educa-tors is exciting, but also challenging,” he replied to our query. “As I’m planning the repertoire, one thing that I look at is including a mix of timeless choral classics
with some newer pieces. I think it is important to in-clude some recently composed pieces to give the music educators some new ideas that they can consider for their choral programs.
“It is my goal to select a program that represents who we are as a school, while also representing a wide variety of musical styles and periods … At this point, the program is still a work in progress. I know that there will be several languages throughout the concert, some pieces from the sacred repertoire, some pieces utilizing well-known poetry and probably a spiritual or two.”
Loesel said the Jubilate Choir performs a diverse repertory in a variety of settings: at church services, schools, competitions, music showcases and tours in the spring. Members develop a family feeling among themselves as they create beautiful music together.
“While we are extremely honored to be a part of the conference, we want to stay focused on the reason that we sing and that is to bring glory and honor to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” Loesel concluded.

Zip lines approved for Castle Rock parkPhilip S. Miller Park expected to open in fallBy Mike [email protected]
Zip lines will soon be swinging into Philip S. Miller Park.
On July 22, the Castle Rock Town Council unanimously approved a lease agreement with Royal Gorge Zip Lines out of Canon City that will bring a zip-line course to the new park.
The 10-year-lease agreement ensures that 5 percent of the total gross revenue collected will go to Castle Rock. The town estimates the revenue will be about $45,000 annually.
Royal Gorge Zip Lines will cover all costs of design, construction, fees, permits and busi-ness operations for the zip lines and aerial trekking, including staffing, insurance, and inspections. Monthly financial reports will be submitted to the town.
“What we were looking for was a family-friendly recreational opportunity that was financially solid and did not require any fund-ing from the town except for the use of the land itself,” said Town of Castle Rock Parks and Recreation Director Rob Hannah.
According to Hannah, research done by the town found that the demographics, tim-ing, location and visibility make Castle Rock
an attractive location for a zip-line course.Hannah said zip-line courses are laid out
very similar to golf courses.“You take off of a tower or tee box and zip
down to another landing tower or green,” he said.
A typical experience on the proposed course will take between three and three-and-
a-half hours and includes nine different zip lines up to 1,000-feet long, reaching speeds of 50 miles per hour.
In addition to the traditional course, there will also be an Aerial Trekking Timber Park and Dual Race Lines.
The Aerial Trekking Timber Park area will provide a family-style challenge course. This
is a self-paced tour designed for children be-tween the ages of 6 and 15, but is also appro-priate for adults.
The Timber Park will have both easy and difficult routes. Time spent in the Aerial Park could last between 30 minutes and 2 hours.
Dual race lines are designed with competi-tion as the goal.
Two people take off at the same time and it’s a race to the end. It is designed and located so that a participant can race several times in a row.
“If you’re playing soccer with the soccer team out at Philip S. Miller park and you want to come and compete on something and you don’t have three-and-a-half hours, you can do either one of these two in a reasonable amount of time,” Hannah said.
The proposed rate plan shows a significant discount for Castle Rock residents.
The non-resident cost for the zip-line course is anticipated to be $97.90 and the resi-dent rate will be $64.90. A 10 percent activity fee will be included in the price of each ticket. The Aerial Trekking Timber Park Course will cost $31.90 for residents and $53.90 for non-residents. Meanwhile, the dual racing course will cost $13.20 for residents and $22 for non-residents.
It is still unknown when construction of the course will begin.
Philip S. Miller Park is scheduled to open in late October or early November.
On July 22, Castle Rock Town Council unanimously approved a 10-year lease agreement with Royal Gorge Zip Lines of Canon City to build a zip line course in the soon-to-be-open Philip S. Miller Park. The course, highlighted by a three-and-a-half hour traditional course, will also feature a timber park and dual race lines. Stock photo
38 State celebrates 38th state with bashNew brewer throws party for Colorado’s big No. 138
By Jennifer [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 first ob-servance 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 refer-ence 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. Everyone came to-gether at 8:01 p.m. (on 8/1) for birthday cake decorated as the state flag and the ceremonial singing of “Happy Birthday.”
The owners themselves are reflective of the Western spirit Colorado has always been known for, blazing the trail for other brewers
opening in Littleton. Several manufacturers had expressed interest in the city, but 38 State was the first to actually get the barrel roll-ing. At the time, such companies were only allowed in industrial areas like the Santa Fe corridor, where Breckenridge Brewery will rise next year. The Old Mill brewery gets to be downtown because it has a full restaurant, so it’s classified as a brewpub.
But after dealing with 38 State, city staff rec-ommended last year that the law be changed to allow microbreweries, wine makers and mi-crodistilleries 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 for-mer automotive shop at Broadway and Coun-ty 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.

Valor senior heads to China to throw discusShowalter to compete with Team USA in Youth OlympicsBy Jim [email protected]
Haley Showalter’s first taste of Internation-al competition was bitter.
She hopes for a sweeter taste when she competes as a member of the USA Track and Field Youth Olympic team in the discus at the Youth Olympic Games for 16- and 17-year old athletes Aug. 16-28 in Nanjing, China.
Showalter, a senior-to-be at Valor Chris-tian who won the Class 4A State discus cham-pionship in May, was among the participants at the Junior World Championships, held July 22-27 in Eugene, Ore.
She enjoyed herself despite not faring well in the hammer throw, which ironically is her favorite event.
“I didn’t do very well,” said Showalter. “I scratched on all my throws in the qualifiers. That was a little disappointing but despite that I probably had the best time of my life out there with my teammates and watching everybody else compete.
“I had never competed internation-ally. It was a little intimidating so it’s good to have the experience. There was tons of good competition. There were a lot of European girls there and they have been throwing the hammer a lot longer than I have. They have a whole lot more experience. I’ve just got to practice more and get a few more years of ex-perience under my belt.”
Rhode Island is the only state that sanc-tions the hammer throw for high school ath-letes but Showalter’s heave of 193 feet, 4 inch-es is the country’s best prep throw this year.
Showalter qualified for the Youth Olym-pics with a personal best discus throw of 153.5 feet at the American Youth Olympic Tri-als earlier this summer in Miramar, Fla.
“I’m excited that I earned another chance to get another international competition ex-perience,” said Showalter. “I’ve got to train with the discus now and get ready.
“Hammer is my favorite event. Mostly my focus goes on the discus right now and we’ll probably start throwing the shot during the indoor season. I’m working on everything in my form. I have a lot to iron out. If I fix my form I could throw 20 feet further. I have a lot to straighten out in my form.”
Tom Menting is Showalter’s Dad and coach.
“I’ve been coaching her since she was 11-years-old,” said Menting. “My certification is in sports performance training. I started training her after school just to get her ac-climated to movement. She responded very well.
“She leaves for China Aug. 13. Every week we’ve been doing conference calls. They are telling the kids as much as it is for the com-petition and Olympic Games for kids under 18-years-old, they are trying to make it very cultural so they get to see some of China and meet people from other countries.’’
Showalter, who has also trained for seven years as a classical pianist, can’t wait.
“I’ve never been out of the country so it will be interesting to see the different culture in a different part of the world,” she said.
“I took piano lessons a few years back and I still play but I don’t do it as often. Classical is mostly what I practiced and played. It didn’t fit into my schedule with track and basketball though.”
Showalter abandoned basketball two years ago and now the world anticipates her gifts as a track and field competitor.

A competitive community of CrossFittersTeam from Douglas County gym competes in world competition in CaliforniaBy 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 tun-ing up his game.
The Arapahoe High School graduate will continue to polish his game this fall in Greeley 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 pro-fessional 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 competitively 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 summer.
For starters, Marley went on a late birdie binge to win the Colorado Golf As-sociation Junior Match Play Champion-

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.

Sam Marley usually spends a lot of time at South Suburban Golf Course tun-ing up his game.
The Arapahoe High School graduate will continue to polish his game this fall in Greeley 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 pro-fessional 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 competitively 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 summer.
For starters, Marley went on a late birdie binge to win the Colorado Golf As-sociation Junior Match Play Champion-
ship at Bear Creek Golf Club July 18 with a 3 and 1 win over Trevor Glen.
“It was definitely the biggest tourna-ment 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 qualify-
ing 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 probably 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 fresh-man year at UNC and play as many tour-naments as I can.”

coach at Colorado Christian University for the past five seasons, is the new head girls basketball coach at Valor Christian.
She takes over for Sherryl Klosterman, who resigned with a 79-40 record after five years of coaching the Eagles.
Caldwell, a former player at Baylor, inherits a team that went 23-4 last season and advanced to the Class 4A Final Four. Ten players return from the 2013-14 team
including leading scorers Caroline Bryan and Kendall Bradbury.
Jewelry for cross country runnersThere will be no restrictions on the

CHSAANow.com reported that the Colorado High School Activities Association has lifted the ban on jewelry in anticipation of a NFHS decision to allow track and field athletes to wear jewelry starting with the
2015 season.
Boys lacrosse title games movedBecause of a scheduling conflict with a
college lacrosse tournament, the Class 4A and 5A boys state lacrosse championships games will be contested a day earlier next spring at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
CHSAANow.com stated that instead of the usual Saturday afternoon doubleheader, the title games will be played the evening of May 15, which is a Friday.

Town entrance sign installedThose who have recently entered the Town of Parker
from the north via Parker Road have probably noticed a new sign welcoming visitors to the community.

School district gets awardThe Douglas County School District has been recognized

It recently received a Certificate of Achievement for Ex-cellence in Financial Reporting, presented to school districts that meet or exceed the program’s standards for financial reporting and accountability.
The Association of School Business Officials Internation-al recognized DCSD for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. The Govern-ment Finance Officers Association recently granted DCSD the same recognition.
According to the association, the award recognizes indi-vidual governments that succeed in going beyond the mini-mum requirements with comprehensive annual financial reports that indicate transparency and full disclosure.
