Shape of things to come Park amphitheater’s new covering arrives in time for summer Staff report Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon, city councilmembers and staff gathered the morning of May 2 for a “topping-off” ceremony to mark the near-conclusion of improvements at Centennial Center Park’s amphitheater. Steel trusses were put in place — but not before being
signed by the mayor and councilmembers — to facilitate the amphitheater’s new covering. On June 7, the city will kick off summer and celebrate the amphitheater’s upgrades with a free concert featuring Eagles tribute band “The Long Run,” as well as additional music acts, children’s activities and food trucks. Many more events will follow throughout the summer, and the new stage covering is expected to rain-proof performances. Overall, more than $1 million in improvements to the 11-acre park, which opened in 2012, are expected to soon be completed. In addition to the stage cov-
ering, they include: • Electrical enhancements at the amphitheater that are expected to help attract professional performers. • Construction of a “loading pathway” to the amphitheater for performers. • New shade structures. • A picnic shelter at the south end of the park. The park is located on the north side of Arapahoe Road, between South Revere Parkway and South Vaughn Street. For more information, go to www.centennialco.gov/Open-Space-Parks/centennial-center-park.aspx.
The three incumbents running for the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District Board of Directors held on to their seats in the May 6 election. Mike Anderson was the top vote-getter with 1,045. John Ostermiller followed with 1,018, and Pam Eller received 987. The closest challenger was Tom Mike Anderson: 1045 Wood, who John K. Ostermiller: 1018 got 298 votes.

Hoppy times make way to Centennial Two breweries open at opposite ends of city By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com
Like all others assembled for the “topping-off ” event, Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon, center, donned a hard hat.
The south metro area’s beverage options just got a whole lot hoppier. Two breweries opened recently on opposite ends of Centennial. Blue Spruce Brewing Company opened April 26 at County Line Road and Colorado Boulevard — a light stone’s throw away from Highlands Ranch’s northern border. And Two22 Brew opened in late February east of E-470 and Quincy Avenue near Aurora. Both operators report warm receptions from their communities, and are gathering strong reviews from beer connoisseurs. Less than a week into Blue Spruce’s operation, owner Rick Kane said what’s most surprised him is the volume of business. “We have been just packed every day,” said the former Cimarron Middle School biology teacher. “People have come in from the neighborhood saying, ‘We’ve

Lawmakers: Moderates needed to further debate Every couple of years, the Legislature loses familiar faces, for better or for worse. Some have to leave because of term limits. But others decide on their own that government and politics just aren’t for them any more — giving us hope that politicians aren’t entirely crazy. It’s common for lawmakers who are leaving the Capitol to reflect on the past and look toward the future. But during recent conversations with three outgoing female lawmakers, I found it interesting how concerned they were over one thing in particular — the loss of moderate representation at the Capitol. “I think it’s very sad that three moderate women are opting out of a fourth term,” said Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge. Schafer referenced herself and Republican Reps. Carole Murray of Castle Rock and Cheri Gerou of Evergreen as three lawmakers whose exits will leave a void at the General Assembly. The three women — who have served in the House for a combined 18 years — have been known to cast votes that blur party lines. For example, Schafer sometimes bucks her party on small business issues. “I don’t always vote with my caucus,” she said. “Sometimes we have bad bills
and so do the others across the aisle.” Murray was a co-sponsor of the Student Success Act, a major bipartisan education bill. And she shed tears and raised eyebrows when she voted for last year’s bill that created civil unions in Colorado — joining only a few Republicans to do so. Gerou also voted for the civil unions bill and has often crossed the aisle on legislation, which sometimes ruffles the feathers of those on the more conservative wing of the Republican Party. Both Gerou and Murray said they are concerned that their party is losing touch with moderate voters. That’s been a struggle for a party that has not fared well at the state or national level in recent years. Gerou did not hesitate when I asked whether she was concerned about the state of her party. “Oh, absolutely,” she said. “It’ll guarantee that we’re in the minority for a really
long time. I talked to Sue Schafer and she’s concerned there’s no moderation, and it’s on both sides. But I think it’s your own party that bugs you the most because you expect certain things from the other party, but it disappoints you when your party does things you don’t like.” Gerou said it is social issues — such as gay marriage, debates over abortion and immigration reform — that is hurting the GOP brand. “I hope they stop focusing on social issues and get back to doing what Republicans have always done well, and that’s represent business,” Gerou said. “I wish the social issues would go away. “I look back at someone like Barry Goldwater, when they asked him his thoughts on gays in the military. And he said, `I don’t care. If they want to serve our country, let them serve our country.’ That’s the type of Republican I like to be around.” Murray agrees that social issues have hurt the party and have turned off many voters, including many Republicans. “It’s particularly difficult to the old-line, establishment Republicans who have not been accustomed to the social issues being brought into the conservation,” Murray said. “And the new Republicans, too. All of the young interns and aides at the
Capitol have a hard time relating to the hard stance that we take on certain issues. “I’ve had many friends who feel like they don’t recognize the party and that gives me pause. Because, as a party, we can’t be pushing people away. We need to find out a way to bring people in.” Murray said that Republicans should do more to reach out to Hispanics, who are growing in population and in political strength. “If we don’t bring them in — and soon — we may never win again,” Murray said. Gerou feels the same way and hopes that the party gets back on track by focusing on economic issues and not social ones. But don’t expect Gerou to change parties any time soon. “I’m not going to become a Democrat; I just can’t,” Gerou said while laughing. “I couldn’t do that to my grandparents. It’s like when I was younger, I couldn’t live with a guy because if my grandmother ever found out, I couldn’t face it. “I’m 58 years old and my grandmother still controls my life.” Vic Vela covers the Legislature for Colorado Community Media.

County inmate dies in custody Coroner, sheriff investigating death of 51-year-old man Staff report A 51-year-old inmate died while in the custody of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office on April 29. Eric Terrell Hasley of Centennial was arrested in the 17800 block of East Powers Drive on April 28 after it was reported he was acting suspiciously and hiding in the neighborhood. Hasley was uncooperative with the Arapahoe County deputies who contacted him, and showed signs of intoxication. Hasley received medical treatment at a local hospital before being taken to jail and charged with second-degree assault, violating a protection order and obstructing
the deputies. Hasley was found breathing but unresponsive during a routine check on the morning of April 29. Medical staff at the jail immediately responded, and he was transported to a local hospital. He was pronounced dead by hospital staff at 7:22 p.m. The death is being investigated by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office and the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office. “The protection order (that Hasley was accused of violating) was issued to Mr. Hasley without a protected person, just prohibiting Mr. Hasley from certain activity,” said ACSO Bureau Chief Glenn Thompson on May 2. “No additional information to report yet, as we are still waiting on the coroner’s office to complete their investigation.”

President Hollande bestows highest honor By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Two south-metro World War II heroes were heralded in a regal ceremony April 24, held in the Old Supreme Court Chambers at the Colorado Capitol and attended by local dignitaries and proud family and friends. “My life is richer for having known them,” said Col. Wesley West, retired from the Air Force. Senior Master Sgt. Elmo “Mitch” Mischler, of the Air Force, and Staff Sgt. Walter Quering, of the Air Corps, earned the praise of French President François Hollande, who granted them the National Order of The Legion of Honor in the rank of Chevalier (Knight). It is the highest distinction in France, created by Napoleon in 1802. “This is overwhelming,” said Quering. “I still correspond with people in France, and everyone I talk to admires the American people, they really do.” Mischler, a Centennial resident, thanked his family for their support. “The Air Force was good for me,” he said. “It was a growing-up process.” Standing in for Hollande was Jeffery Richards, the honorary consul general of France for Colorado. “This is a symbol of great and longstanding friendship between our countries,” he said. “We honor those who, as young men, left home to defend democracy and human rights.” Mischler was born in the tiny eastern Colorado town of Eckley on July 11, 1923. He enlisted at Fort Leavenworth in December 1942 and arrived in England in September 1943, assigned to the 333rd Squadron, 94th Bomb Group. He was part of a 600-airplane raid on Berlin in March of that year, flying the “Pride of the Yanks,” surviving a mission that lost roughly a third of its fleet. “We also remember the ultimate sacrifice of many of your comrades who rest on French soil today,” said Richards. Over the next 30 years, Mischler served as a flight engineer, crew chief, flight chief, line chief, quality-control inspector and superintendent, retiring in 1977. His decorations include the Bronze Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, four Air Medals, a Good Conduct Medal, Meritorious Service Medal and numerous campaign credits. After his service, he worked in the

He was married in 1950 and has two children and two grandchildren. Quering was born in Glassport, Pa., on Oct. 12, 1923. He enlisted in May 1943 and landed in England in September 1944, assigned to the 839th Squadron as a gunner. On Feb. 14, 1945, Quering saved the life of the radio operator by dressing the severe wound. A month later, Quering was wounded himself while on his 34th combat mission over Germany, and ended the war in an Army hospital. His decorations include three Air Medals, the Purple Heart and the Good Conduct Medal. He also has the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with three

Local girls learn to give gladly Birthdays mean giving, not getting By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Three little girls in the Montanos’ Highlands Ranch household keep the home filled with so much energy and light that the family has plenty to share, says mom Alexandra. “They just have such beautiful hearts, and it’s so endearing to see how much they care for each other and others,” she said. The energy is especially high during the family’s birthday season — Annabelle, 5, Caroline, 4, and Juliette, 1, were born within six weeks of each other, with Juliette entering the world on Cinco de Mayo last year. This year, the two older girls chose to fill donation bins instead of toy boxes. “We are just so abundantly blessed, we
want to be able to bless others,” said their mom. Caroline became enchanted with firefighters after recently meeting a group of them at a local grocery store. They let her climb up in their fire truck and even sit in the driver’s seat. That’s when she decided that she wanted her birthday party to help them. “I gave the money to them to donate in case they need new stuff, like shoes and socks,” said Caroline. The party, which featured fire-safety activities and a firefighter cake, raised $260 for the Littleton Firefighters Foundation. Caroline and her mom presented the money during the foundation’s annual chili cook-off fundraiser April 19 at Platte River Bar and Grill. The foundation provides fire-safety education, supports families of injured or killed firefighters, offers emergency funds to help people displaced by fire and contributes to local charities. Visit www.lfff.org for more information.
Next up was Annabelle’s 6th birthday party on May 3, during which she was gathering donations for the Denver Children’s Home, a project inspired by her American Heritage Girls club. The hour before the party, the Monsanto home was filled with what Alexandra says is pretty typical for one with three little ones younger than 6 — giggles and music, arts and crafts, dancing and adventures, squeals and kisses fill every moment. “Your hands are just a little busier,” said Alexandra. “Chaos is our new normal.” She hopes her girls will grow with that excitement rather than out of it. “My hope for my girls is that they are able to realize their full potential and know that they can make a difference,” the mother said. “That difference may seem small to them, but I never want them to feel that they can never do enough. Or if they grow up and want to be president or an astronaut, I just want them to be so excited about what they choose.”

Union Station to open Project links rail, bus, shuttle services By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The transit hub of RTD’s renovated Union Station, which merges light rail, commuter rail, Amtrak lines, buses, taxis, shuttles, bicycles and pedestrians into a central access point in downtown Denver, opens May 9. Its most visible element is a white canopy reminiscent of Denver International Airport’s, under which both Amtrak and future commuter rail line to DIA will serve passengers. The East Rail Line will transport passengers from Union Station to the airport by commuter rail, a method that is faster and makes fewer stops than light rail. Set to begin service in 2016, those trains will depart every 15 minutes for the 35-minute trip to DIA. South suburban residents won’t need to travel downtown to take the East Line. They
will instead to be able to take the light rail on a future Z Line route from Lone Tree’s Lincoln Station to an East Line connection at Peoria and Interstate 70. The ride from Lone Tree to DIA will take about an hour and 20 minutes. Cost hasn’t yet been established. Another highlight of the transit center is a 22-bay underground bus concourse, which extends from just east of the light rail stop to the Union Station building. It replaces the Market Street bus station. The historic Union Station building and hotel, adjacent to the transit hub, also is under redevelopment with a planned July completion. It will include about 22,000 square feet of ground-floor shops and restaurants, a public common area and great hall, large outdoor plaza and 110 hotel rooms. The transit center is part of RTD’s FasTracks project. That plan also includes a 2.3-mile extension of the southeast light rail line, from its current end point at Lincoln Avenue to the east side of Interstate 25 at RidgeGate Parkway. Negotiations continue to accelerate the construction of that extension.
Don’t mourn fate of news too soon Veteran journalists look at future of industry By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Perhaps you’ve heard the news. Or not. Journalism is dead. Not so fast, say three veteran journalists. “There are those who say we don’t need journalists anymore, because everybody’s a journalist,” said Ken Durham, who now teaches aspiring newshounds at Arapahoe Community College. “Well, when everybody’s a journalist, nobody’s a journalist. … People still want people to check facts.” He hosted the “This Just In: Journalism is Alive and Thriving in the Digital Age” panel on April 29 at ACC. Panelists discussed how rapidly changing technology in a rapidly changing world challenges all media outlets to come up with a way to keep up, keep relevant and keep getting paid. “I think they’re trying different models, but I don’t think we’re there yet,” said Susan Thornton, a former Littleton mayor whose first job out of college was writing for U.S. News and World Report. She went on to write columns for the Denver Post and today runs her own media-relations and marketing company. “The community newspaper is more important now, because we’ve lost the community gathering place where everybody would sit around the pickle barrel and discuss what was going on,” she said. “Community news is the way of the future,” said Bob Burdick, former editor and president of the now-defunct Rocky Mountain News. He views it as defensive driving, alerting citizens to things like crime and the actions of local government. Now retired, Burdick recently served as Colorado Community Media’s editorial adviser. “Somebody who says journalism is dead
may or may not understand what journalism is and what it isn’t,” he said. What it is, he said, is acting as an agent for the people, finding out what’s interesting and distributing it to others. What it is not, all three panelists agreed, is someone sitting in a basement behind a computer, anonymously spouting opinions as facts. “Some sites unabashedly take one side,” said Burdick. “Some sites are simply gossip mongers, some sites are just trying to provoke you just to get a reaction. … You have to evaluate the facts in that context.” Thornton worries about people believing everything they read without considering the source. “I really worry about the future of this country with the demise of newspaper ethics,” she said. “This is central to the democracy. … They’re not going to vote well if they’re not informed.” But, she points out, technology has also led to some compelling moments — consider the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011, which got widespread attention via Twitter. All three stress that to make it today, reporters have to continually learn new and diverse skills. Thornton, for example, went from being a beat reporter to writing grant requests, speeches, training materials, videos, opinion pieces and even books. She recently started running media-relations workshops for city managers and department heads, and she is now a licensed mediator. “It’s just some of the ways journalism can take you in your life,” she said. Dunham noted that in today’s economy, companies are moving away from having big communications departments to hiring just one or two people to do it all — everything from photography to video production to newsletters and graphic design. “The thread that runs through all of that is communication,” said Burdick. “You can’t write just so you can be understood, you have to write so you can’t be misunderstood.”

opinions / yours and ours
No go best signal for red-light bill A bill to ban red-light cameras and photo-radar systems inspired healthy debate in the Statehouse but ultimately did not get the green light, and we’re fine with the call. Further we agree with one of our local legislators, Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, who opposed a late amendment to the respective bill to fund a study on red-light camera effectiveness. Funds that would go toward a study, could perhaps go to another CDOT bridge, Tyler noted. No pressing need for more research. Both sides have sources — on one hand that the technology improves public safety and on the other hand the use of the technology actually has the reverse effect, and further that the practices function more as a cash cow than a tool targeting public safety.
our view It’s worth noting that this proposed and oft-discussed ban on red-light cameras and photo radar got a strong push at the Legislature this year with bipartisan support. Rep. Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley and House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, DDenver, were among those who gave arguments that the cash-producing systems do not improve safety. But with every urging to do away with the cameras, plenty of legislators and others stepped forward to say the technology comes to the aid of public safety in their
neck of the woods. We value these local voices, and support local control of the technology. Technology and the automation of tasks that would otherwise be carried out by people increases efficiency and can often in practice be much more consistent and comprehensive. To that aim, earlier in the session, we reported Jessie Ulibarri of Commerce City saying technology is especially vital in areas where “human management is impossible.” But that’s the trick and where some controversy lies. We recognize a healthy mistrust of the mounted cameras keeping tabs on drivers. People wonder if existing regulations governing the the use of the cameras is enough. Further, are yellow lights shortened to bring in more revenue or does
common sense balanced with guidelines and regulations prevail? And are camera practices going to instant-replay pro sports heights with each line drawn hard and fast and little left in the way discretion? For now, we are glad the practices remain in local control. The debate has been eye-opening for many and should encourage cities to make sure red-light cameras and photo radar systems are being used in a way that is truly focused on public safety and efficiency. With each advance in technology comes many questions about ethics and appropriate use. We are in the thick of the increasing prevalence of lenses that watch everything everywhere. In this case, better to refine it — the where, when and how of it all — rather than switch it off.
Don’t wait for future, create your future
One family makes two very different people Do you have a sister or a brother that you love very much? With whom you have almost nothing in common? And sometimes you think one of you was adopted? This is dedicated to Cindy. I can start with cats and dogs. By now you know that I found my dachshund at a no-kill animal shelter. The best: MaxFund. Cindy has found a succession of cats in her back yard. Cats know when there is a vacancy. I don’t think my sister has ever paid for a cat. One just shows up when the previous occupant has taken leave. Cindy is a retired grade-school teacher who is still teaching. She is still at the same school in Sterling Heights, Mich., where her teaching career began, over 40 years ago. Now she mostly subs and fills in wherever they need her, and that includes hallway bulletin board duty. I taught at four colleges and universities in three states. Neither one of us could do what the other one did. The thought of having a classroom full of kindergartners or third-graders, her most common teaching assignments, leaves me with a dry tongue and the shakes. Cindy is just about the nicest person I know. She is kind and generous. She is loving and caring. She rarely has an unkind word to say, although we are both contemptuous of Brent Musburger. Who isn’t? When our father and mother were in their final glide patterns, Cindy tirelessly took care of both of them, and even bathed our mother. Words that could describe me — crotchety, grouchy, crabby, cynical, sarcastic — could never be used to describe her. This is where the adoption angle comes in. Where she is pleasant and nice, I am ornery and sullen. We had exactly the same childhood experiences, an equal amount of love and attention (almost), but we are night and day. How does that happen? Our father came back from the war after 30 missions. If the house caught on fire I would take out two things: Smitty and my father’s flight jacket. I can see it from where I am sitting, and it chokes me up every time I see it, knowing where it has been.
There is a B-17 Flying Fortress that tours the country now. I went to see it at a regional airport a few years ago. And sat nearby and cried. Dad came back and started a family with his high school sweetheart. Cindy is 14 months older than I am. They really did it with her. Album after album, bronzed baby shoes, and a cedar chest full of things she had touched. I think there is one black-and-white picture of me at that age, and it’s somewhat out of focus. I think I was in the bathtub, or the kitchen sink. Cindy is deliberate, conservative, she reads and follows directions and instructions, does exactly what she is told, never tries to be abstract, or humorous, or particularly clever. My opposites. One day a couple of years ago we were in a grocery store together to buy dinner, and Cindy decided she wanted iced tea. So she went to the aisle where iced teas in bottles and cans were displayed. I left her and finished all of my shopping. I came back and she was still standing there, in front of the bottles and cans of iced tea, I left her again and drove the car to an IHOP in Ypsilanti and had breakfast (scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast, oh, and orange juice), came back and she was still standing there. So I started a countdown: 10-9-8-7, telling her that I was going to choose one for her if she didn’t choose one right away. That evening she enjoyed the unsweetened tea that I had chosen for her. With love. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.
How cool would it be to have a crystal ball? I mean the real deal — the ability to actually see into the future. Do you fall into the category of people who wish they could see the future, or are you in the group that prefers to see life as a journey and the more mystery and adventure the better? In some of the responses that I have received over the years referring to one of my columns, some of our local readers actually state that they wish they had a crystal ball so they could see what would happen if they actually practiced some of the ideas, strategies, or tactics that I have written about. What are some of those things? There’s goal-setting, staying focused, having a positive attitude, encouraging others, living with hope, building better and stronger relationships, living and working with passion and purpose, and working on mind, body and spirit. Well I can share with you, beyond any shadow of a doubt, and I do not need a crystal ball to tell me what would happen … if any one of us, if all of us, applied even just one of the concepts mentioned above … life would be better at some level and in some way. What happens is, we look at things that appear on the list above, we have the best of intentions to act upon them, and then we let our cynicism and doubt take over where our hearts, minds and bodies should begin. We fall into a negative self-talk pattern instead of a positive self-talk actionoriented empowerment state. You know how it sounds: “That’s all just

fluff,” or “That stuff may work for others but it will never ever work for me.” Maybe it sounds more like, “My life is just fine, I don’t need to change anything, but you know Bob or Charlie or Mary or Beth, they could sure stand to change a few things.” Pretend with me for a minute that we all had a crystal ball. And each and every one of us could look into our future, whether it’s two weeks from now, six months from now or a year from now. And we had actually applied and committed to one or more of the items mentioned above like setting goals, staying focused, living with a positive attitude, being a source of encouragement, living with hope, working hard on our relationships, becoming re-energized with passion and purpose, and becoming well-rounded in mind, body, and spirit. I know many of you through your emails and letters, but I certainly cannot claim to know all of you. But I would bet that if we had that crystal ball, and the commitment was applied in any of the areas, what we would see is success, achievement, love, laughter, better health, stronger faith, and Norton continues on Page 9

Innovators keep state economy expanding Colorado is known worldwide for our endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, our 300-plus days of sunshine a year, and even our diversity of craft brewers. We have also developed a solid reputation as a hub for invention and innovation. Colorado companies have an entrepreneurial spirit that is driving new ideas, spurring economic growth, and creating jobs. Recently, we saw some of this firsthand, touring companies across the state that are thriving because of their innovative products and solutions. From Grand Junction to Fort Collins, Colorado companies are focused on inventing the future. In Boulder, we met with the owners of Newton Running. Their advanced sole technology is propelling both runners — and the Newton business — faster and farther. In Grand Junction, we visited Tim and Christy Fry, who moved here from Ohio to invest in Colorado-developed technology because of our great quality of life and business-friendly climate. Their company, Mountain Racing Products, makes topof-the-line biking components that are shipped all over the world, and they em-
ploy nearly two dozen Coloradans. We also stopped by Western Slope Industries, the only U.S.-based manufacturer of large, industrial machines that fold and seal packages for food products. They employ more than 60 people in their 45,000-square-foot facility. In Fort Collins and Loveland, we toured the VanDyne SuperTurbo Headquarters and the engines lab where the company tests its equipment. VanDyne’s patented SuperTurbo engine combines a turbocharger and a transmission into one device, improving fuel efficiency and horsepower while reducing emissions. The SuperTurbo can power the likes of city buses, Caterpillar
bulldozers, and John Deere tractors. Finally, in Park Hill, we saw Never Summer Industries turn blocks of locally sourced wood into high-quality skis and snowboards. Never Summer is one of only a handful of companies still manufacturing snowboards in the United States, producing more than 240 snowboards a day. All of these companies are building success through innovation. And one thing almost all of them have in common is patented technology. You may not know it, but that convex and concave design on your Never Summer snowboard is original, patented technology. And that distinctive pop sensation you feel on the balls of your feet when you’re running in a Newton shoe? That’s patented too. So is Western Slope Industries’ machine process that makes the cardboard packaging that holds your morning orange juice. The patent process is an important part of our state’s economy, helping inventors and entrepreneurs build successful businesses, generate revenue, and create new jobs. That’s one of the reasons we coordinated
a statewide effort to bring a satellite patent office right here to Colorado. The opening of the United States Patent and Trademark Satellite Office this summer in Denver — one of only four cities nationwide selected to house a satellite office — benefits firms like these by providing an improved and more accessible patent process. That means reduced review times for patent applications, reduced costs for patent filers, and more access to U.S. Patent and Trademark Office resources throughout the process. Plus, it will create hundreds of direct and indirect jobs and add roughly $440 million in economic activity to our state. Colorado’s deeply embedded culture of innovation has established our state as a destination for inventors, innovators, and new ideas. The opening of the USPTO satellite facility solidifies this reputation. From energy-efficient engines to high-tech running shoes, companies throughout our state are creating a bright future and propelling our state forward. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.
News flash: CCM doesn’t need a fake award Paying for awards? There’s just no honor in that By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The first clue something was fishy was when Colorado Community Media got an email saying “Castle Rock News-Press has been selected for the 2014 Best of Littleton Awards for Publishers.” While the Castle Rock News-Press is indeed a CCM paper, Littleton residents might wonder why a Littleton paper wasn’t selected by a “local” organization for such a prestigious-sounding award. So how did that happen? “All 2014 Awards are issued based on the location of your corporate headquarters even though your service area may extend beyond that town,” reads the Littleton Business Awards website, to which the email invited us. OK, but CCM is headquartered in Highlands Ranch these days. Perhaps just an innocent mix-up? CRNP is a great paper, and it does win lots of awards from the

Colorado Press Association. Might as well add another, right? So how do we get it? “Most business organizations charge their members annual dues and with that money sponsor an annual award program,” reads the website. “The Best of Littleton Award Program does not charge membership dues and as an award recipient, there is no membership requirement. We simply ask each award recipient to pay for the cost of their awards.” Wait, what? Pay for it? How much? Well, there are three options ranging from $79.99 to $199.99. Can’t we just get a piece of paper like the CPA hands out? I mean, how much could an award from a company we’ve never heard of, judged by nameless people we’ve never met, with an 888 phone number, accompanied by a lame press release (that part’s free), possibly be worth? Absolutely nothing, say real local business leaders. “We have had had the ‘honor’ of receiving this award several times over the past five years,” Terry McElhaney, manager of communications for the South Metro

The company has duplicate websites set up for cities across the United States, despite its claim that: “The Littleton Award Program was established to recognize the best of local businesses in our community. Our organization works exclusively with local business owners, trade groups, professional associations and other business advertising and marketing groups.” The award is not affiliated with the City of Littleton or any local organization. “I’ve never heard of it, and it seems odd that the Castle Rock News-Press would receive a Best of Littleton Award,” said Kelli Narde, the city’s spokeswoman. Businesses looking for legitimate acclaim would do well to align themselves with their local chamber or merchants association.

Denver Chamber of Commerce, said with a laugh. “Yes, it is a marketing scam to sell their ‘awards.’ I can see businesses that are eager for any type of award to fall for this approach just so they can display a crystal trophy, even if it is for money. The website doesn’t have any qualifications as to how they determine their winners, and I’m assuming they go through social media sites and pick their targets. Award programs using actual customer input such as ‘Best of the Best,’ which CCM does, are much more legitimate.” As are the chamber’s Annual Small Business Leadership of the Year Awards, always eagerly anticipated and attended by actual people you’ve probably heard of, if not met personally.

Medical marijuana not approved for PTSD Two Democrats join Republicans in killing bill, 6-5, in committee By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill that would have allowed marijuana to be used as a treatment option for post-traumatic stress disorder failed in a House committee on April 28. House Bill 1364 would have added PTSD to a list of eight other conditions that qualify sufferers for medical marijuana treatment. Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, a bill sponsor, argued that those with PTSD should be given the option to consult with doctors as to whether medical pot is a viable treatment option for their condition. That’s better practice than sufferers
having to resort to figuring out their best pot pathway through retail pot shop clerks, he said. “Should it be the bud-tenders on Colfax or the doctors at Kaiser?” Singer asked the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee. Colorado voters, through the 2000 passage of Amendment 20, approved eight conditions that qualify for medical pot treatment, including cancer, glaucoma and AIDS. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has the ability to add other conditions to that list, but it has not done so since Amendment 20 passed. Several witnesses testified that marijuana has helped alleviate their PTSD symptoms, including military veterans who served in conflicts and wars, ranging from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan. “Cannabis made it to where I don’t have to take any of these prescription drugs,” testified Sean Azzariti, an Iraq War veteran.

“It saved my life.” Singer said that it should be up to doctors to decide what is best for their patients and cited high suicide rates among veterans as reason enough to keep all treatment options open. “I don’t think that every veteran who commits suicide… could have used medical marijuana and it would have saved their life. I don’t believe that for a second,” Singer said. “But I do believe that some of them might have been able to use this as a tool in their toolbox to have that conversation with their doctor to make the right decisions for them.” Some committee members had legal concerns over the bill, with some wondering whether the legislation would be akin to lawmakers taking it upon themselves to changing Amendment 20 language in the
state Constitution. “I don’t always think the right decision for us to make is, `Well, let’s just let the courts decide,’” said Rep. Tim Dore, R-Elizabeth, who opposed the bill. Rep. Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton, said her opposition to the bill was personal. She said that marijuana use on the part of her child led to addictions to other drugs. “My personal life story is one that has shown marijuana to absolutely be a gateway drug and I watched it become a gateway drug from marijuana to Oxycontin to heroin for someone I love with all of my heart,” Conti said. The bill died following a 6-5 vote. Two Democrats — Reps. Jeanne Labuda and Angela Williams, both of Denver — joined all four Republican committee members in voting against the bill.

been watching the construction for months, and are so glad you’re open.’” “It’s been a crazy two months,” Two22 co-owner Paige Schuster said. “This section of town is really missing those local things, a place people can come hang out and feel comfortable. The neighborhood has been craving something like this.” Ironically, both are run by husbandand-wife teacher teams — Two22’s Schuster and Marcus Christianson taught in the Cherry Creek School District, while Blue Spruce’s Kane recently retired from the Douglas County School District, where wife Theresa still teaches. Like Kane, Two22’s brewers draw on their knowledge of science in making their products. “We both studied chemistry and biology in college,” Schuster said. “This is a really a good way to apply some of the things you learned in the classroom setting.” But the two businesses are distinctly different. Like Lone Tree Brewing Company, Two22 is a taproom that features its own unique beers and doesn’t have a full kitchen. Instead, a rotating selection of vendors

May 9, 2014 sells food from trucks parked outside the taproom. Located in a former restaurant space, Blue Spruce is a brewpub. It produces beer on-site but also serves food, and carries products from other brewers, as well as wine and liquor. Blue Spruce opened with a limited selection of pub fare and soon will add a full Mexican food menu. Its tap selections include Lone Tree, Bristol, Pikes Peak, Epic, Great Divide and Colorado Cider, and its own beers. “We’ve had a couple of beer judges in; they’ve rated our beers really high,” said Kane, a homebrewer for two decades. “We pour multiples samplers of our flagship beers every hour, and we don’t get full glasses coming back. They’re all empty. That’s the unspoken test.” Kane credits Lone Tree Brewing coowner John Winter for helping ensure Blue Spruce’s immediate success. “Our best friends are Lone Tree (Brewing),” he said. “They’ve been a fantastic resource, there for consultations late into the night when I needed it.” Two22 also distinguishes itself through its philanthropic underpinnings. A portion of its proceeds are earmarked for small, Colorado nonprofits. Schuster’s father died in a plane crash in 2004, when she was a teenager, prompting the family to start the Schuster Family Foundation. The brewery plans to give

Oil-gas drilling study measure dies Bill would have required probe of health impacts By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill that would have created a study of the health impacts of oil and gas drilling on Front Range residents died in a state Senate committee on April 29. The bill — which increased in cost over time — was killed in Report the Senate Appropriations Committee, following a 5-2 vote. Democratic Sens. Pat Steadman of Denver and Mary Hodge of Brighton joined all Republican committee members in voting against the measure. A dejected bill sponsor expressed disappointment after her effort failed. “I think the people’s voices have been silenced,” said Rep. Joann Ginal, D-Fort Collins. House Bill 1297 would have required the state to conduct a three-year health impact study on residents living in the Front Range counties of Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer and Weld. The study would have included the surveying of residents living in those areas and the possible review of medical records. The effort was a response to concerns over the practice of hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking” — the practice of mixing of water, sand and chemicals and blasting the mixture deep into the ground to crack
Capitol
porous rock and free up oil and gas. The study would have focused on counties that include communities that have sought to either ban or limit the practice of fracking over the last few years. Ginal and other bill supporters said a study would provide both a health and educational benefit for Coloradans who want to know more about the impacts of the controversial oil and gas industry moneymaker and job creator. However, the bill received only a single Republican vote in the House. Some legislators and oil and gas industry leaders opposed the effort for reasons that included concerns that the study would be slanted toward the viewpoint of fracking opponents. Money was also an issue. Originally, the bill sought only to include Adams, Boulder, Larimer and Weld counties as part of the study. But a House committee added Arapahoe County and the City and County of Broomfield to that list. The additions increased the study’s cost to about $700,000 — something that concerned Ginal before it even got to the Senate Appropriations Committee. Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, said she did not know if cost or other factors led to the bill’s defeat. Carroll did say that she supported the bill and that “it’s a basic responsibility (of the state)” to look out for the health of its residents. “I think sooner or later it behooves all of us to get a credible and independent study,” Carroll said. “And, from the oil and gas perspective, if (fracking) is as safe as they say, then they should have credible independent studies that confirm that.” Ginal said she intends to revive the effort next year.

Traffic cameras not going away Measure hits brick wall upon reaching House By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com After a bill cruised through the Senate, the House last week put the brakes on the measure, which sought to ban red-light cameras and photo radar systems in Colorado. The legislation officially met its demise during a House Appropriations Committee hearing on April 30, but the bill’s sponsor, House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, had pretty much accepted its defeat before it even got there. Senate Bill 14 would have prohibited local governments from using photo-radar technology to capture drivers who speed or run red lights. It was gutted by the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee, which passed a stripped-down version of the bill on April 28. The gutted version only would have allowed for a state study of the technology’s public-safety effectiveness, something that Ferrandino didn’t think was necessary. “I think we have enough studies to show that it’s not effective,” Ferrandino told the Appropriations Committee. Ferrandino and other bill supporters argued that photo-radar technology is a cash
cow used by local governments to rack up revenue, courtesy of lead-foot drivers. The House speaker also said the technology does little to prevent accidents. “They give a sense of public safety, but don’t actually increase public safety,” Ferrandino said. But several law-enforcement representatives testified otherwise during the committee process. Supporters of the technology asserted that the devices serve as a blessing for understaffed police agencies and that the presence of the cameras curbs bad habits on the part of drivers. “If you just look at the money side and ignore the public-safety side, to me the public-safety side triumphs,” said Rep. Jeanne Labuda, D-Denver. The bill’s gutted version called for an effectiveness study that would have been undertaken by the Colorado Department of Transportation. But House Appropriations Committee member Max Tyler, DLakewood, wasn’t willing to fund the legislation at the possible expense of other CDOT projects. “I’m wondering what bridge is not going to be built, what road is not going to be protected,” Tyler said. “Where are they going to get the money for this, Mr. Speaker?” The bill’s last chance for survival would have allowed it to go to a vote in the full House, where it could have been amended to its original form. But the committee rejected that motion.

The Lincoln Mountain Open Space area opened in southern Douglas County in summer 2013.

A view from Lincoln Mountain Open Space a perch for hikers, equestrians By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com The beauty of Douglas County unfolds with each step toward the top of the Lincoln Mountain Open Space. Hikers, bikers and equestrians who reach the apex of the main bluff are treated to a 360-degree panoramic view of southern Douglas County and northern El Paso County. Pikes Peak, in all its glory, serves as the southwestern backdrop. The rolling hills and forest near the Palmer Divide adorn the southeastern landscape. Greenland Ranch and Spruce Mountain are noted nearby features. At an expansive 876 acres, Lincoln Mountain Open Space is the latest addition to the parks and trails system. It opened on Labor Day weekend 2013, and through word of mouth, has gained a faithful collection of regulars. In spite of a soft opening, “people found out about it,” said Cheryl Matthews, director of open space for Douglas County. Counters on the trails showed that 3,300 people were using the trail each month by the time the winter months hit. “It’s getting a fair amount of usage,” she said. “It’s doing pretty well.” Weekend mornings at the trailhead, a half-mile west of Highway 83 on Jones Road, see an increase in traffic, but only a few cars dot the parking lot on weekdays. The county acquired the initial 771-acre property — previously known as Palmer Divide Ranch on West Cherry Creek — in 2009. An additional 105 acres comprising three 35-acre parcels, in a development known as Estates at Living Water, was purchased a year later. The total cost was $6.7 million, with $500,000 coming from Great Outdoors Colorado, which uses lottery proceeds for public land acquisitions. The timing was fortuitous. There was once a very different set of plans, and Lincoln Mountain wouldn’t look anything like it does today. “Ironically, a lot of the property was owned by a development group. They were in for a development proposal, then the bottom fell out of the economy,” Matthews said. One of the general partners was “very conservation-minded” and convinced the other investors to sell to the county, she said. It then purchased the three undeveloped 35acre parcels, a move that “kept the whole top of the mountain from having houses on it,” Matthews said. With Lincoln Mountain, the county acquired high-value wildlife habitat, unique geologic formations and noteworthy recreational opportunities. The spot has become especially popular among equestrians and it is leased to Praying Hands Ranch, which

He is renowned for his ambitious architectural installations around the world in museums and gardens.
CSO, yeah
The Colorado Symphony Orchestra, the bastion of classical taste and the guardian of musical tradition, is encouraging patrons to bring pot to the party during Classically Cannabis: The High Note Series, which marks a growing partnership between the CSO and the burgeoning cannabis industry in Colorado. Clever those symphony folks, who, for this series, seem to be swapping black tie for Rasta wear. Ganja! The High Note Series will be at The Space Gallery, 400 Santa Fe Drive, and all proceeds will benefit the Colorado Symphony. Classically Cannabis themes include Pan American Highway on May 23, Mississippi Blues Highway on July 18 and Summer Monsoon on Aug. 15. The series will culminate with a Sept. 13 Red Rocks concert; details to be announced soon. Note that the consumption of cannabis at Red Rocks is prohibited by law. “This partnership is part of an overall effort to reach out to every segment of our community,” said Jerome H. Kern, the Colorado Symphony’s CEO and, with Mary Rossick Kern, co-chair of its board of trustees. “Like the Colorado Symphony, the cannabis industry is entrepreneurial, innovative and responsive to the people of Colorado. These businesses have expressed a willingness to support the Colorado Symphony’s mission. Our doors are open to any legal, legitimate business that wants to help.” Since the symphony announced this cutting-edge musical series last week, spokeswoman Laura Bond says, “We’ve been pleased and energized by the response so far. … We’ve heard from people in Los Angeles, Australia, all over the country and the world. People recognize that this is a bold move, not without risks, and most have applauded the effort.”
Band in Hard Rock battle
A horse rider hits the trail at the Lincoln Mountain Open Space, an 876-acre spread of public land near Highway 83 and Jones Road in southeastern Douglas County. Photos by Chris Michlewicz utilizes the property as a satellite facility for equine therapy for veterans and for adults and children with physical and emotional disabilities. Lincoln Mountain has similarities to the Hidden Mesa Open Space north of Franktown, but boasts its own distinct character. The lower loop is 4.5 miles and incorporates a variety of terrain from wide-open prairie to slower-paced technical rock sections, while winding through Gambel oak and Ponder-
osa pine. The upper loop, the shorter of the two, is roughly four miles long. “It’s neat because it has a completely different feel to it. You can see from Pikes Peak to Longs Peak and there’s no trees,” Matthews said of the upper loop. “Then on the lower loop, you have all cap rock and trees. It’s kind of unique that way. The views are pretty incredible.” The open space is open from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset.
Local band Aspen Hourglass is in contention to win Hard Rock Rising, the world’s largest battle of the bands. Fans can vote for Aspen Hourglass on the Hard Rock Cafe Denver Facebook page, www.facebook.com/hardrock?sk=a pp_205164529573076, until May 7 to help the local vocals move into the top 25, and one step closer to performing in Rome. After battling it out with several of the area’s top bands at Hard Rock Cafe Denver, Aspen Hourglass is among the top winners from around the world, and is one step closer to winning the chance of a lifetime — an all-expenses paid trip to Rome, Italy, to perform at the first Hard Rock Live Rome music festival this summer.

Tin Cup II opens
Cindy Jones, the affable owner of the Tin Cup restaurant at Aurora Hills Golf Club, has stretched her spatula to add the eatery at Fitzsimons Golf Course to her culinary resume. Jones, who officially took over the Fitz restaurant in January, has been sprucing up the golfers’ 19th hole and has brought the Tin Cup’s breakfast and lunch menus to the new place. The Tin Cup, which for my money is the best public golf course restaurant in Aurora, features homemade breakfast burritos as well as house-fried tortilla chips and housemade salsa, with several grab and go items for golfers on their way to the next hole. Jones also hired Rose Decker, who famously worked at the long-gone Plainsman in Aurora for 20 years, as the manager at the

In Justin Go’s debut novel, “The Steady Running of the Hour,” wealthy English mountaineer Ashley Walsingham succumbs in 1924 to the relentless ice and snow of Mount Everest — the same challenging mountain that just claimed a number of guides from Nepal last month. Walsingham had willed his fortune to former lover Imogen Soames-Andersson, who disappeared without claiming it, and 80 years later, her descendent Tristan Campbell hears from a London law firm that he may be the heir if he can prove his connection to Imogen. Debut novelist Go, who will appear at Tattered Cover/ Colfax at 7:30 p.m. May 15 and at the sold-out Booktopia Boulder 2014 from May 16-18, has spun a complex, skillfully crafted, well-researched tale about the search for Imogen’s story and clues to her whereabouts some 80 years later. Where did she live? Were there any descendents? Can Tristan find believable clues? In London, Paris, Norway, Iceland … Chapters alternate between Ashley’s world, his war service — including horrifying descriptions of a soldier’s life in the trenches in France — and his later return to a pursuit of serious mountaineering. In a brief interval before reporting to World War I army duty, the young man, who had inherited a fortune (and could therefore pursue the mountain climbing), met and fell totally in love with erratic Imogen Soames- Andersson. Their encounters in wartime London and surroundings are described with rich details of what people wore, what they thought about, what they ate and more. The complicated book alternates between chapters set in decades past and in today’s world as young Tristan follows clues about Imogen, his great-grandmother, who wandered in search of happiness, and about her lover Ashley, who survived the horrors of war and was defeated by a mountain. There are letters, old records, maps, early newspaper accounts, musty attics, lots of cold and snow and eventually a connection to the world for Tristan in today’s setting.

Novelist Justin Go will talk about his new novel, “Steady Running of the Hour,” at Tattered Cover/Colfax on May 15. Courtesy photo Go is a talented storyteller. He studied at University of California-Berkeley, where he received a bachelor’s degree in history and art history and University College, London, where he earned a master’s degree in English. He left his job with a law firm at age 27 to head to Berlin and write a novel, although he did not speak German. He traveled and wrote for three years: in England, Germany, France, Sweden, Iceland and to the base of Mount Everest, chasing his stories as his young protagonist did. He then worked in a New Orleans hotel as desk clerk, at age 32, while he completed his novel. When Go sent unsolicited copies to agents, he had immediate response — a highly unusual situation — and was soon launched, with publication in Britain and the U.S. in many languages. Anyone familiar with the difficulties of even getting through to an editor at a major publisher will recognize what a remarkable story centers on this young author — who is now at work on a second novel.

lent Jamie Romero), who lives across the sound. She has married abusive, prejudiced, wealthy Tom Buchanan (effectively portrayed by C. Clayton Blackwell in a Colorado debut). Daisy and Gatsby had fallen in love before he left for army service, but she, focused on her own well-being, did not wait for him to come back. Readers are probably familiar with F. Scott Fitzgerald’s famous novel — adapted for the stage by Simon Levy. It is based to some extent on his personal story — so the reason to see this production would focus on how beautifully the Arvada Center’s skilled cast and crew will present the bittersweet tale. And they don’t disappoint, although the chemistry between Gatsby and Daisy was not as solid as one might expect — or perhaps that’s the point. Maybe these two are so self-centered, they are not capable of blind passion. “His voice is full of money …” Also strong in their parts: gas station owner George Wilson (Steven Cole Hughes) and his wife, Myrtle (Caitlin Doran), selfserving society type Jordan Baker (Audra Blaser) and gangster type Meyer Wolfsheim (Steve Einspahr). Not folks one would especially yearn to know, but they tell the audience a wellput-together, beautifully produced story, directed by Gavin Meyer.

“All the characters of this story are skilled at creating worlds around them that fit their version of reality, but none is more committed to dreams than Jay Gatsby. He is master of illusion, and, like other gifted magicians, the ‘Great Gatsby’ creates a beautiful world of deception. His blind commitment to the rags-to-riches American Dream betrays him …,” wrote Elizabeth Zurn, the new play dramaturg at Creede Repertory Theatre. It’s summer 1922 on New York’s Long Island. Not only are the characters skilled at creating an illusion, but the Arvada Center’s technical magicians share that skill. The stage set, with its two levels and sets of doors, takes the audience from roadside filling station into Gatsby’s mansion, with a 1920s musical background filling in gaps between conversations. Costumes are detailed and believable — with Gatsby’s white and pastel summer suits, and flapper dresses and stockings with seams for the women. Graham Ward plays a low-key Nick Carraway, who serves as a sort of narrator/ commentator, at times breaking through the fourth wall to talk with the audience. Anthony Bianco, as Jay Gatsby, is the dashing owner of the mansion next door to Nick’s modest Long Island rental. He bought it, we learn early, to be near his longtime love, Daisy Buchanan (the excel-

Bruins grab another league title Cherry Creek baseball rides hot streak into postseason By Jim Benton

No. 28 could be just a little more distinctive for Cherry Creek baseball coach Marc Johnson. Creek wrapped up the Centennial League championship May 3 with a 10-0 win over Eaglecrest. It was the 28th league title won by Creek but this season’s title might be more special. “I can remember most of them,” said the 67-year-old Johnson, who has compiled a 710-166 record in 42 seasons as Creek’s head coach. “You know what, they are all special. This one was real special because we didn’t start out as strong as we hoped we would. The team worked (hard), came on and we have had five run-rule games in a row.” Cherry Creek usually has teams loaded with highly touted players. However, early this season the Bruins looked more like just an average team with a 3-3 record in the first six games of the campaign. “We’ve been spoiled the past couple years,” admitted Johnson. “Now, we’re back to playing baseball, having to execute skills and doing the things we have to do to beat people. I’m very, very proud of this team. They have worked hard. I have a fabulous coaching staff. The team pushed themselves very hard and did everything they could to be as good as they could be.”
Creek, which has won 12 of its last 13 games and outscored opponents 63-4 in the last five outings, will enter the postseason as the No. 8 seed and host one of eight, four-team district tournaments scheduled for May 10. The brackets can be found on www.maxpreps.com in their entirety. “I just hope we will go in and compete in the state playoffs,” added Johnson. “Our kids are excited. We want to play and we respect every team we will play. We will go in and give it the best shot that we can. We’re happy to be where we are at.” In the Bruins final tune-up for the playoffs against Eaglecrest, the game was called after six innings because of the mercy rule. Starting pitcher Justin Jeronimus limited the Raptors to one hit in the 10-0 shutout, striking out six and not walking a batter. “We got a really good pitching performance,” said Johnson. “Cody Wood has a little bit of a hurt arm. Justin has really stepped in and become our go-to guy for the time being. We’re hoping Cody will be able to go by the state playoffs. We hope to have both of them.” Creek hit for the cycle in a five-run third inning against the Raptors. Sean Robison, the No. 9 hitter in the lineup, doubled to start the inning and stole third base. Aeneas Robertson followed with a single, Ryan Robb tripled and Grant Farrell hit a two-run, inside the park home run. The fifth run came home on Jack Hallmark’s squeeze bunt that scored designated hitter Parker Jax who had tripled. Creek was helped by three Eaglecrest errors to score five more runs in the bottom of the sixth to end the game.

Creek snags top boys lacrosse seed Bruins, perfect over Colorado competition, the team to beat By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Cherry Creek, fresh off a confidencebuilding 10-7 victory over top-ranked and previously unbeaten Regis Jesuit, headed into the Class 5A state lacrosse playoffs as the top-seeded team. The Bruins were scheduled to host No. 16 Denver East (7-8) in a May 8 first-round game. The victory over Regis April 29 and a 10-9 overtime triumph over Kent Denver May 2 boosted Creek’s regular season record to 12-3 with all the losses coming to
out-of-state teams. In the game against Regis the Bruins jumped to a 5-1 halftime lead, with Broderick Vitalie making faceoff wins and goalie Addison Christensen playing in front of a defense headed by James McKenna, Matt Goettelman and Charlie Fay. The Bruins led 10-2 with 9:43 minutes remaining in the game but that’s when Regis took advantage of a Bruins’ team more content to play conservatively down the stretch. The Raiders closed out the game scoring five unanswered goals. “We played good defense, then let up a little and kind of stepped back a little bit and got on our heels,” admitted Creek coach Bryan Perry. “It was a nice game for us against a good team. We were able to build a big enough of a lead. “It was big to get that lead. We’ve got to continue to send the message that it is 48
minutes and that’s the deal. It’s a 48-minute game. We might be down 4-1, up 4-1 or whatever but it’s always going to be a 48-minute game.” Senior attacker Ryan Arthur led the Bruins against Regis with four goals, while Austin Bridgforth and Michael McCauley each had two. Arthur and McCauley lead the Bruins offensive with 24 goals apiece this season. “The start against Regis was very important,” said Arthur, who scored the overtime goal to beat Kent Denver. “One of the things was just trying to build up some confidence on offense and then working it throughout the team. The fourth quarter we definitely focused a little more on holding the ball where we could have played a little more offense but with the lead we had we needed to hold it a little bit. “The defense really stepped up. We held
Regis to a goal in the first half. It was an important game for us because we lost a couple out-of-state games so it was good for us to get some confidence.” Creek will need all its confidence if it hopes to go a step further in the playoffs after finishing second the past two seasons. Other opening-round scheduled for May 8 included: No. 3 Mountain Vista (132) playing host to No. 14 Heritage (8-7); No. 11 Highlands Ranch (11-4) at No. 6 Arapahoe (10-5); Chaparral (9-6) against Regis Jesuit (14-1); No. 13 Castle View (8-7) at No. 4 Kent Denver (10-4); and No. 8 Rock Canyon (10-5) against No. 9 Palmer (11-4). The quarterfinals will be held May 10 at Regis High School, while semifinal games will be played May 14 at All-City Stadium. The finals are set for May 17 at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

Littleton gets more stout 38 State Brewing Company hosts grand opening By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com 38 State Brewing Company is arriving at the end of a trail it blazed, and at the start of what its owners hope is a long and prosperous journey. “People ask if, looking back at all the work it took to do it, would we do it again,” said Kim Keating. “That would be a definite yes. And we’re rallying the other brewers that are opening up to just keep going.” Keating, her husband, Mike, friend Jason Virzi and neighbor Brett Blazek got bit by the brewing bug five years ago, and decided three years ago to dive in head first by setting up shop in Littleton. Several manufacturers have expressed interest in the city, but 38 State was the first to actually get the barrel rolling. 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 recommended last year that the law be changed to allow microbreweries, wine makers and microdistilleries in certain com-
mercial 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. The action actually came too late to help 38 State, which will host its grand opening on May 10 in its new space, a former automotive shop south of the Office Depot at Broadway and County Line Road. The garage doors open up to tables and a bar, along with a jukebox, Pac-Man machine and Golden Tee. While they don’t have a kitchen, they will regularly invite food trucks and welcome deliveries and picnics. “We love our space, so we’re happy,” said Kim Keating. “But we paved the way for other places to not have to go through such a strict process.” Some might call it the perfect setting for a garage party, which the partners say is basically how the idea got started. “It was just a hobby that got way out of control,” said Keating. “It was really at the point we couldn’t even park in our garage.” Her husband was the natural choice to be the master brewer, as he’s a professional master gardener by day. He’s using as many local ingredients as he can get his hands on, and says he’ll change up the offerings on a regular basis. “I don’t think we want to pigeonhole ourselves into any certain kind of style,” she said. “We don’t want to be labeled, we want to cater to everybody.”
(From left) Brett Blazek, Lael Callaway, Mike Keating, Jason Virzi and Kim Keating are brewing up big plans for their new venture, 38 State Brewing Company. Photo by Jennifer Smith Mike Keating adds he doesn’t want to get bored, either. “I like beer with some flavor, but I’m not opposed to drinking large amounts of Coors Light, either,” he said. Blazek said the true test came when they brought the beer out of the garage. “Your friends are always going to have good things to say, but it’s really neat that strangers, people we’ve never met, had good things

to say,” he said. They hired one of those strangers as their general manager, and Lael Callaway says he’s impressed with the transformation of both the space and the partners. “When I had my interview here, this place was a shell, and now it’s something off the charts,” he said. “And watching all these guys adapt and learn something they’ve never done before is refreshing.”
Despite the challenges, everyone agrees 38 State — so named because Colorado was the 38th state admitted to the union — was worth it. “For me, personally, I’m proud about the fact that I won’t be that old man talking to somebody, saying ‘I could have done that, I should have done that,’ ” said Mike Keating. “I can say with a smile, `I did that.’”
SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF ApRil 28, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You might be tempted to be more assertive when dealing with a job-related matter. But a carefully measured approach works best at getting the cooperation you’re looking for. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) While others urge you to act now, you instinctively recognize that a move at this time is not in your best interests. You should know when to do so by week’s end. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A busy schedule keeps you on the move for much of the week. But things ease up by the time the weekend arrives, allowing you to reconnect with family and friends.
crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope
GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Travel dominates the week, and despite some delays in getting to where you want to go, the overall experience should prove to be a positive one in many ways. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Your leonine self-confidence comes roaring back after a brief period of doubt and helps you get through a week of demanding challenges and ultimately emerge triumphant. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Virgos who have made a major commitment -- personal or professional -should be able to tap into a renewed reservoir of selfconfidence to help them follow through. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You soon could receive news from a surprising source that could cause you to change your mind about how you had planned to deal with an ongoing job-related problem. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A surprise move of support from a colleague who has never been part of your circle of admirers helps influence others to take a new look at what you’ve put on the table. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) While a bold decision to take an “i know what i’m doing” approach impresses some colleagues, it also raises the risk of causing resentment among others. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A misunderstanding ‘twixt you and a friend might not be your fault at all, despite what he or she suggests. Talk it out to see at what point the confusion might have started. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Getting into a community operation fulfills the Aquarian’s need to help people. it also can lead to new contacts that might one day help you with a project. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A minor problem could delay the start of a long-anticipated trip for two. Use the time to recheck your travel plans. You might find a better way to get where you’re going.

When a poor African man posted a plea for medical help on RealSelf — a website most commonly tapped for advice on plastic surgery methods and surgeon reviews — the typical responsive chatter from doctors and patients fell silent. Clement Kihitula had a large keloid, an overgrowth of tissue, on the back of his neck, and no money for treatment. “Am from poor family in Tanzania East Africa where can’t afford treatment abroad,” Kihitula posted. “How can I get assistance?” Lone Tree doctor Stephen Weber was the only surgeon who offered to help Kihitula. The 19-year-old growth was so large it limited Kihitula’s ability to move his head, and was so disfiguring that Weber said, “People would notice that before they noticed him.” Kihitula’s timing was almost perfect, dovetailing with Weber’s annual medical mission trip to eastern Africa. In mid-March, three weeks after the initial post, Weber operated on Kihitula in Sangida, Tanzania. The man’s home is on the road between the airport and Singida Regional Hospital, where the Outreach mission is conducted; he met the team in Singida the day they arrived. “I thank you for what you have done for me,” Kihitula recently wrote in an email to Weber. During that same two-week trip, Weber, fellow practice manager Camille Kamingo and 24 other American doctors, nurses and volunteers saw 350 patients and conducted 20 surgeries — all at no charge. They repaired cleft palates, lips torn during domestic violence, skin damaged by cobra bites, cooking oil burns and other deformities and injuries. It’s a far cry from the Botox injections, liposuction surgeries and other procedures he regularly performs in Colorado. “I think we did a huge amount of good. We helped a lot of people,” Weber said. “Most people focus on cashpaying customers that pay the bills. That’s important to us, too. But I really think our most important service is the mission work — giving back to people who can’t afford or don’t have access to treatment, who are medically isolated.” The Outreach mission is conducted as a temporary clinic in conjunction with Singida Regional Hospital. Doctors who practice in the area are overworked and in short supply, focused almost exclusively on labor and delivery, and their training is limited. The Outreach team performed several tonsillectomies because the African doctors don’t know how to do many such basic procedures, Weber said. Returning to his normal practice in Lone Tree is always a culture shock, Weber said. “It’s very hard to wrap your mind around operating with windows open and a fan going to operating in a stateof-the-art, climate-controlled operating room,” he said. Despite the differences between facilities and clientele, Weber believes his patients in both countries have more in common than it would appear. His client base includes a mix of aesthetic, reconstruction and trauma procedures. “It’s a different demographic but I think it’s similar,” Weber said. “People want to look good and feel good — whether that’s a birth defect, treatment of a scar or changing the shape of your nose, I think the motivation is really similar.”

WE BELIEVE ENERGY STAR IS JUST A STARTING POINT. Tour our Two Model Homes!
WE ARE NEW TOWN BUILDERS. R
7 Days a Week No Appointment Necessary!
We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about craŌsmanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and building techniques. The thicker walls in our high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insulaƟon than in a convenƟonal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we get 2½ Ɵmes MORE insulaƟon in the aƫc. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill!
