Drew Edsall pedaled around the final bend of the second lap at Castle Rock’s Race the MAC mountain biking series five minutes before the next racer. As he crossed the finish line he took a swig from a water bottle — his yellow helmet easy to spot against the dark clouds behind him.

With one lap to go, he wasn’t even breathing hard.

“I hate guys like that,” the PA announcer joked through the microphone. “He’s breathing through one nostril.”

Edsall took first place in the Open Class, which consisted of the race’s most experienced competitors.

“It’s a fast course,” said Edsall, an ex-professional racer. “I train on it a lot.”

Ninety-five bikers raced at the series’ inaugural race July 15. The town’s new Philip S. Miller Activity Complex hosts the summer race series every Wednesday for mountain bike racers of all levels and ages. The final race is Aug. 12.

“We arranged this around family racing,” said the event’s coordinator, Kyle Sipes. “We designed the race for anybody.”

The race split participants into five classes: Open Class, Sport Class, Everything Class, Beginner Class and Junior Class. Each class is di-

vided into men and women with the exception of the Junior and Everything classes.

The Open Class races three laps of the sixmile trail; the Sport Class, two laps; and the other three classes, one.

“We can find out what it’s like …,” said Todd Wenck, a 10-year mountain biker from Colorado Springs, speaking of himself and fellow Beginner Class competitors. “And see if we can get better throughout the weeks.”

Sipes’ goal, he said, is to keep the race in

“that down-home feel” by inviting local sponsors to advertise. Winners of each class are awarded different prizes from respective sponsors.

The nonprofit event “spared no expense,” said Sipes, investing in official race-timing equipment, food trucks and free beer for participants.

“We’re not going after this to pay the bills,” he said. “It’s a classic grassroots event.”

Limon man suspected in Castle Rock murder Reports identify victim as wife of suspect Staff report

PL E ASE R ECYC LE T HI S COPY

Kyle Sips, 39, from Highlands Ranch, arranges the Open Class to start at Race the MAC July 15.

A Limon man has been arrested in connection with the July 18 murder of a woman at a Castle Rock home.

Richard Allan Lockett, 44, is being held without bond in the Douglas County jail on multiple charges, including first-degree murder, stalking and violation of a

protection order.

Neither the Castle Rock Police Department nor the Douglas County Coroner’s Office would confirm the woman’s identity, but multiple media reports say it was Kirsten Russell Lockett, the suspect’s 36-year-old wife.

The victim, a mother of five, was staying at the Castle Rock home with her mother and brother to escape a domestic-violence situation, a town of Castle Rock news release said. The children were not injured.

Kirsten Lockett’s Facebook page

had been updated July 10 with an anti-domestic violence message.

On the page, she listed her relationship status as “separated.”

Fa c e b o o k friends posted comments mourning the death of the former Columbine High School student.

Lockett “This world is now missing an angel on earth,” wrote one woman.

Just before 5 a.m. July 18, police

responded to a call of a domestic disturbance on South Amherst Street in the Founders Village neighborhood after a resident of the home reported an intruder, according to a town news release.

Police entered the home and found a woman dead from an apparent stab wound, the release states. The man who was reported as the intruder, later identified as Richard Lockett, was found injured. According to the report, he may have attempted to kill himself.

FACES AMONG US

NEWS IN A HURRY Lightning likely started house fire

Lightning is suspected to be the cause of a July 21 house fire in the Meadows neighborhood of Castle Rock.

According to eyewitnesses, the house was struck by lightning just before the fire broke out.

More than 35 firefighters from Castle Rock Fire and Rescue, South Metro Fire Authority, Larkspur Fire Protection District and Jackson 105 Fire Protection District responded to the scene.

Two people reportedly lived at the house, but no one was home at the time of the fire. Two cats also live at the residence — one has been accounted for, and the other was missing after the fire. There were no reports of injuries to people.

The official cause of the fire is still under investigation.

My Name Is

retirement in 2006, I enjoy working with young umpire prospects from the recreational level up to the college level. Training and advising young umpires is really rewarding for me and allows me to “give back” to the game I love.

A glimpse of the people in our community

Under pressure

TERRY L. CRAFT

Retired Major League Baseball umpire My passion My occupational passion in life was to become a professional baseball umpire which I accomplished and fulfilled a 28-year career.

My current passion is to enjoy my “golden years” being a great dad to my kids and hopefully a great grandad someday. My wife and I enjoy traveling and remaining very involved in our kid’s lives.

Giving back to the game I worked as an umpire from 1979-2006, spending eight years in the minor leagues and 20 years as a major league umpire. Since my

Working with the best players in the world was obviously fun and enjoyable but much pressure is placed on our profession with the scrutiny of our work. TV, video, replay and the big stage of a major league stadium can cause some sleepless nights especially after a blown call by an umpire. By the way, blown calls were few and far between for us as our success rate is very high. But, occasionally, mistakes happen and umpires are very self-criticizing of our work — we wanted to be perfect all the time!

Cities to remember My favorite baseball town was St. Louis, with very knowledgeable fans. My favorite parks were Fenway in Boston and Wrigley in Chicago, with all the baseball history at those places. I loved San Francisco for the food and San Diego for everything, including the weather. Yankee Stadium was also very special.

New public art on display in Castle Rock

Castle Rock’s Public Art Commission has recently added some new art to community.

One piece is permanent. “Joy,” a bronze sculpture of a girl, was unveiled this month in its new home outside the Castle Rock Recreation Center, 2301 Woodlands Blvd.

Five other sculptures have been installed in various locations throughout town in recent weeks as part of the countywide Art Encounters program: • “A Bracelet for Her,” for sale at $25,000 by artist Ivan Kosta, is at Red Hawk Ridge Golf Course, 2156 Red Hawk Ridge Drive • “Dance,” for sale at $3,000 by artist Robert Heintzelman, is at the Miller Activity Complex, 1375 W. Plum Creek Parkway • “Mother and Child,” for sale at $18,000 by artist Eluisa Altman, is at Castle Rock Town Hall, 100 N. Wilcox St. • “Stainless Heart,” for sale at $2,700 by artist Paul Kuniholm Pauper, is at Triangle Park, 804 Sixth St. • “Stop in the Name of Love,” for sale at $10,000 by artist Janene DiRico-Cable, is at Butterfield Crossing Park, 3952 W. Butterfield Crossing Drive The five pieces will remain in place until late May/early June 2016.

The town has given each artist a

$500 stipend to borrow his or her piece for the year, which is funded through the Philip S. Miller Trust Fund. No taxpayer money is used to purchase public art in Castle Rock.

Starting its eighth year, Art Encounters provides one-year exhibits of sculptures in retail and civic areas within Douglas County. Other participants in the program, funded partially through the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, are Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree and Parker.

Search-rescue volunteers needed

Group members must be ready for fast response

By Taryn Walker

twalker@colorado communitymedia.com Douglas County Search and Rescue saw a turnout of 42 people at its recruitment meeting on July 21, but the agency expects to receive only half of that in volunteers, according to Bruce Fosdick, president and mission coordinator.

Every year around this time, the nonprofit with about 60 active members looks for new volunteers. The group was formed in 1998 and encompasses the county, but the team also provides help to neighboring counties. Most distress calls within Douglas County are made in the Rampart Range, Sedalia and Parker areas, according to the group’s July 21 presentation.

“We’ve received only two hard copies of applications since the meeting, but I know a lot of people wait until right before the deadline,” Fosdick said.

“We’ve sent out about eight applications to those who weren’t at the meeting. We will probably get about 15 or so total.”

Requirements to join include a $150 fee toward an application, which is due by 5 p.m. July 31. The fee, in part, covers a criminal background check, which must be passed.

Also required is established residency within 30 minutes of Douglas County, as many incidents demand fast response.

The organization does not require annual dues.

The application fee doesn’t include any gear volunteers need, although a number of resources are provided, including access to trucks, ATVs and a snowmobile.

The important part to remember about joining is that it is 100 percent volunteer, Fosdick said. Volunteers train 20 hours a month and get 140-plus

calls a year that require up to 16,736 hours of volunteer time combined — that includes holidays, weekends, birthdays and anniversaries.

Calls for Douglas County Search and Rescue are routed through the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office dispatch, and they can come at any time. One current DCSAR member spoke out to the crowd.

“If it’s a sunny day and you’re not doing anything, you think you’re going to get a page or a call — you won’t. If it’s your anniversary or you’re celebrating something — you will. It’s fair game,” he said.

DCSAR is one of 12 fully accredited search and rescue organizations in the state. The accreditation was given in 2005 by the Mountain Rescue Association in Colorado, which evaluates members every five years based on their capabilities of search, high-angle technical rescue, scree-field evacuation, winter rescue and avalanche operations.

Fosdick said teams in the Rocky Mountain Region are among the most skilled search and rescue teams in the nation, with help from this accreditation.

“About 75 percent of our calls are missing people, and I’m proud to say we’ve found every one of our subjects we’ve been looking for,” Fosdick said.

In 1999, members went through an intensive training in the fall and were considered operational in December. On the first mission, the team was successful in finding two missing dirt-bike riders on Rampart Range. The two were cold, but alive, and in near blizzard conditions, according to the DCSAR website.

Since then, the group has really broken into the system, Fosdick said. Recently, the sheriff’s office put out an alert about a missing man with dementia in Highlands Ranch. Thanks to the efforts of DCSAR volunteers and strong word-of-mouth, the missing man was found hours later wandering near Interstate

25.

The group needs volunteers, as senior walk-aways have become more frequent in the county, Fosdick said.

Everyone who is interested needs to consider the basic skill level training, he said. As far as training, it’s about 32 percent classroom and 68 percent field.

“This is all on our own expense, but we want everyone to perform at a top level. My suggestion is to ask yourself to reevaluate how much time you’re willing to give. We’re not going to teach you how to camp and hike in the mountains. It could cost you up to $3,000 off the street just to get that kind of equipment,” Fosdick said.

New members are encouraged to have common outdoor equipment such as boots, climbing harnesses, winter gear and a helmet.

Carrie Klem of Castle Rock knew within minutes after arriving at the recruitment meeting that she was going to apply to be a search and rescue volunteer.

The now-retired Aurora schoolteacher is 38 and feeling optimistic about her new life.

She said she hopes she gets accepted.

“I’m so fortunate to pseudoretire and look into this. My goal is to eventually get into search and rescue canine training with my yellow Lab,” Klem said.

If accepted, she’ll start a nine-month training period beginning after Labor Day. The training involves a self-paced system with six pages worth of skills to be signed off on, including learning how to tie eight different knots, how to handle litter evacuations and victim packaging, as well as rigging systems and winter mountaineering.

Members meet twice a month and are encouraged to attend at least 50 percent of trainings, even after finishing their personal training.

If interested in applying, contact Fosdick at info@dcsarco.org or b_fos@msn.com.

CDOT begins work to ease congestion on Meadows Parkway Project expected to be complete in October Staff report The Colorado Department of Transportation has begun a project to ease congestion on Meadows Parkway between The Meadows and I-25 in Castle Rock. This $1.4 million project will extend the outside of the eastbound through lane from Factory Shops

Boulevard over the bridge to the northbound I-25 on ramp. The construction is expected to be completed in October.

“Citizens and visitors of Castle Rock have experienced quite a bit of roadway construction recently, but we’re excited to launch this new project which will ultimately help congestion in the area,” said Paul Jesaitis, Region 1 director of transportation for CDOT. “We are ensuring that impacts will be minor to alleviate headaches to drivers.”

According to CDOT, impacts to travel will be minimal. Lane closures can be expected, but CDOT will maintain two lanes of traffic in each direction during peak travel times. The new configuration will ultimately allow for two lanes of traffic to access I-25 from eastbound Meadows Parkway.

The project is one part of a major overhaul of the town’s traffic patterns and roadways.

The North Meadows Extension project broke ground near Castle View High School in October 2013

Once complete, it will provide north and southbound interchange access to U.S. 85 and I-25, giving residents of the Meadows a second northern access point to I-25, and alleviating traffic on Meadows Parkway.

The extension, expected to be complete in 2016, is being paid for by $22.7 million in bond money voted for in 2005, along with an additional $29.2 million from the Town of Castle Rock, $853,000 from Castle Rock Development Co. (the developer of The Mead-

ows), $10.5 million from Douglas County and $4.8 million from CDOT. Once done, it will stretch 2.2 miles, with one lane in each direction and room for two more to be built when needed. It will feature a total of three bridges that cross two sets of railroad tracks and a stream, and according to Castle Rock public works director Bob Goebel, consist of “enough concrete to fill 32 average-sized, single-family homes from floor to ceiling.”

Change in culture leads to savings for school district System focuses on empowering front-line employees to make practical changes, reduce waste

By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com A new way of thinking has saved the Douglas County School District about $2.3 million in the last calendar year.

Thomas Tsai, school district chief operating officer, and his team presented the Toyota Production System, also known commonly as LEAN manufacturing, to the school board July 21.

TPS is a comprehensive leadership system utilized by leading innovative companies across the world to enhance employee engagement/empowerment, operational excellence, client focus and innovation.

Tsai said Douglas County is one of the first school districts in the nation to implement the Japanese strategy that focuses on empowering front-line employees to take action.

Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said the

program will “make highly efficient use of every single dollar that we have available in the district, so that we can deploy the maximum dollars directly into the classroom.”

The Toyota Production system was created by Taiichi Ohno in order to compete with the American juggernaut Ford Motor Co. “At Toyota we began to think about how to install an automatic nervous system into our business organization,” said Taiichi Ohno of his system.

Ohno’s “Seven Wastes” model was aimed at increasing productivity and production.

These wastes are: delay, waiting or time spent in a queue with no value being added; producing more than you need; overprocessing or undertaking non-value added activity; transportation; unnecessary movement or motion; inventory; and production of defects.

One of the things the school district’s operations team tries to prevent themselves from doing is giving orders.

“We try very hard to not put people in a position where they have to ask for permission. Instead, we replace it with intent,” Tsai said. “Intent goes both ways. I give my intent to my team by saying this is the horizon, here are our mission and organizational goals,

then they give the intent of how they intend to accomplish it.”

This way, district employees have the choice and decision making on how they accomplish their goals.

The district’s operations team consists of safety and security, operations and maintenance, transportation, planning construction, outdoor education and sustainability and energy.

Some time- and waste-savings projects the district has implemented include relabeling of all maintenance equipment to create uniformity and consistency for the operations team; and changes in transportation that allow drivers to pick up their own route books and keys instead of waiting in long lines — the change has freed up dispatchers to address other urgent needs during busy times.

Donna Grattino, director of transportation for the school district, said her scheduling team is working on a project that could free up buses and drivers to provide more rides for more students in places in need of more buses like Larkspur Elementary School.

“This is extremely important to the transportation department because we want to be able to support district incentives around

choice and enhanced enrollment,” Grattino said.

In the past the district would have had to add multiple routes, probably higher additional drivers and maybe even purchase buses to meet these needs.

“With the LEAN process improvement our scheduling team has done, we were able to free up an asset that we can redeploy to Larkspur Elementary School,” Grattino said.

“They even went as far as to reduce the number of routes. So now, we have one route that we can run in and around Castle Rock.”

The district will begin implementing the new routes this school year.

Rather than starting with a dollar amount they hopped to be able to save the district, the LEAN team focuses on completing small projects across the board that would lead to a large savings.

“It’s mission improbable that I’ll get you this number again next year…,” said Tsai. “If you’re a marathon runner and you shave an hour off best time, you can’t expect to repeat that next year. But my commitment is that we will try and get as close to that number as possible.”

Enterprise zone could be implemented in second county Arapahoe area offering tax credits may stretch into Douglas

By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The proposed expansion of what is now the Arapahoe County Enterprise Zone would extend it into Douglas County and more than double the size of the area included in the zone.

“The proposal is to expand the enterprise zone to include all of Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan, a portion of unincorporated Arapahoe County and portions of Parker and Castle Rock,” said Darren Hollingsworth, En-

glewood economic development coordinator. “The application to expand the enterprise zone was submitted to the state economic development commission on July 15.”

The state in 1990 created enterprise zones that offer the economic development benefits of tax credits to qualifying businesses that locate in the areas or to existing businesses expanding operations.

Tax credits are available through the enterprise zone for new business and businesses that are expanding. For example, a business can receive a 3 percent tax credit for money to buy new equipment and a $500 per employee tax credit for each new job created.

Soon after the state created the enterprise zones in 1990, the cities of Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan applied for and were granted enterprise zone designation for a majority

of the industrial and commercial properties within their boundaries. In 2001 there was a successful request to expand the enterprise zone boundaries to include additional properties in Englewood and Littleton, followed by an additional boundary expansion in 2010.

Last year, 53 businesses in the area enterprise zone applied for tax credits. According to the report, the businesses created 62 jobs, investing an estimated $50.7 million in their projects, and the state granted a total of about $1.2 million in tax credits.

Hollingsworth said the enterprise zone, as it exists now, does not include all of Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan. For example, the apartment development Kent Place and a portion of Englewood’s medical district are not currently in the enterprise zone. The change would include all of the three cities,

including residential areas.

Englewood has administered the enterprise zone since the 1990s and has annually received a fee from the state to cover the cost of the administrative work.

Hollingsworth said the proposal now at the state also proposes enlisting another agency to handle zone administration.

In his report to the Englewood City Council concerning the proposed change, Hollingsworth noted the zone administration for a multi-county area is believed to be beyond the scope of Englewood. There have been discussions with the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce about the chamber becoming the zone administrator. The report said the state office of economic development agrees and is assisting in finding a suitable administrator.

Referendum questions move toward ballot

Council seeks vote on dchanging two protocols

‘I had a chance to speak to a few of the supporters of

mdiferdinando@colorado tcommunitymedia.com

e o Ballot questions will give Castle Rock residents the chance to weigh in on ewhether they should be able to remove etheir names from referendum petitions and how long before an election a referenedum petition may be withdrawn.

Town council voted to put the additiontal two questions regarding referendums ,on the November election ballot. l The first would amend the town charter oregarding withdrawal of a referendum or initiative petition and make the deadline ufor withdrawal on or before the date of fcouncil reconsideration. Currently, a pentition must be withdrawn at least 20 days before an election, according to Section t 15-6 of the town charter. t “I had a chance to speak to a few of the s supporters of the referendum process that we saw, people who not only signed the petition but actually were carrying the petition, and boy they really felt like a wrong had been done to them,” Council member George Teal said. “We had engaged the

y t

only signed the petition but actually were carrying the petition, and boy they really felt like a wrong had been done to them.’

George Teal, Castle Rock Town Council member public policy process of the town and then we had a provision that allowed that to be removed.”

The petition process Teal referenced was the campaign to stop the development of the Promenade at Castle Rock.

Enough signatures were gathered, but the petition ultimately was withdrawn.

Mayor Paul Donahue also favored the repeal of Section 15-6, saying “If a referendum is going to be pulled, I believe the day to do it is the same day council either

rescinds or says it’s going forward.”

“It is in council’s hands and they make the decision at that point,” Doanhue said.

The second question would allow citizens who have signed a petition to remove their names from that petition before the verifcation of signatures takes place.

According to Castle Rock Town Clerk Sally Misare, there’s nothing in the town’s municipal and referendum statute that authorizes the withdrawal of a signature.

Colorado State Title 1 gives that explicit

permission and Title 31 is silent on the matter.

“The charter currently states that Castle Rock complies with the state in all referendum statutes,” Misare said. “We don’t have the authority currently. It would be a new addition to the charter.”

Drafts of both questions, along with other ballot questions to be considered for the November election, will be brought back to council for reading and approval August 4.

Other potential questions for the Nov. 3 ballot include: • Changing the date of Castle Rock’s regular elections from April to November of even-numbered years.

• Increasing the number of signatures required for a referendum petition from 5 percent to 10 percent of the number of registered voters on the date the form of the petition is approved.

• Increasing the number of signatures required for an initiative petition from 10 percent to 15 percent of the number of registered voters on the date the form of the petition is approved.

• Designation of the town’s website as the official place for posting legal notices for pre- and post-adoption notices of ordinances under consideration by the town council.

Mayor rides motorcycle, gets ‘tattoo’ to boost town

t r‘I

Am a Rock’ campaign tied to updated website -

By Mike DiFerdinando a dmdiferdinando@colorado ncommunitymedia.com r r Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue will tbe featured in the first segment of a new -video series promoting the town.

- The “I Am a Rock” campaign will roll out in conjunction with the launch of the

town’s redeveloped crgov.com website this year.

One of the major projects for 2015 is the redesign of the town website, which receives upward of 50,000 unique views per month. Castle Rock has been investing time in the production of video that will live on the new website.

“We really view the website as one of our most powerful communication platforms,” said Deputy Town Manager Fritz Sprague.

The video series will serve as a prelude to the unveiling of the new website later

this year and run on the town’s social media channels and TV as well as the site.

The first video begins with Donahue riding a motorcycle down Wilcox and ends with him walking out of a tattoo parlor and revealing a fresh “I Am a Rock” logo temporarily inked on his arm.

“When you’re looking for a place to hang your hat, you follow your instinct,” Donahue says in the video.

The mayor talks about moving to Castle Rock 12 years ago with his wife for a fresh start and why he’s proud to call the town home.

“This campaign symbolizes what it means to be part of Castle Rock,” community relations manager Karen Carter said. “We are all part of the Rock and we make a great community that people want to live in and want to work and play in.”

Future installments of the series will feature other employees of the town as well as residents.

“As you can tell, we aren’t spending a lot of money on the videos — particularly the actors,” the mayor joked.

Recreation coming to reservoir Public access to Rueter-Hess will follow master-plan process

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com The long wait for public access to Rueter-Hess Reservoir is almost over.

It was more than 10 years ago that Parker Water and Sanitation District customers overwhelmingly approved a $100 million bond issue to fund the construction of the reservoir on Parker’s western edge.

An original plan to build a reservoir with the capacity for 16,000 acre-feet of water was expanded to 75,000 acre-feet when the water district found local partners in 2008. Ron Redd, district manager for Parker Water, said a recent analysis revealed that the excavation of dirt and rock to build the dam added another 3,000 acre-feet of storage space.

The opening of the Hess Road connection to I-25 allowed more residents to see for the first time a growing body of water that was once referred to as a puddle, and before that as an expensive hole in the ground.

Shortly after decision makers began discussing the need to capture and store water from wet years for use in dry years — instead of allowing that water to go downstream — they also talked about possible recreation at Rueter-Hess Reservoir. Those discussions became a lot more serious in 2015, and words will soon turn into purposeful actions.

Partnering up

The first sign that recreation was coming to Rueter-Hess came in the form of, well, a sign. Earlier this year, the water district hung a placard on a locked access gate to the reservoir near Hess Road and Newlin Gulch Boulevard. It simply said: “Interested in Rueter-Hess Recreation? Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.”

The Parker Water and Sanitation District will partner with the Town of Parker, Castle Rock, Douglas County, Castle Pines and Lone Tree to provide recreational opportunities to the public. Roughly half of the entities have already approved an intergovernmental agreement to form an authority that will oversee recreation at the reservoir.

“Every one of these communities has experts in parks and recreation, and part of my job is to realize what we’re not good at,” Redd said. “We’re good at water and wastewater. We don’t have any experience in recreation.”

Jim Cleveland, director of Parker’s parks and rec department, said he is thrilled at the chance to be involved. He said the partners share a vision for what the reservoir could be.

“It’s not often you get to add a recreational jewel like this in your backyard,” he said. “We’re making it happen as quickly as possible.”

The partners set aside $25,000 each in their 2015 budgets for a master-plan study to be conducted by Wenk Associates, the firm that helped design the Salisbury Park North expansion in Parker. The goal was to have the intergovernmental agreement approved by the end of June, but the board of county commissioners will consider approval in early August and be the final partner to sign.

From then, it will take 9-12 months to solicit public input, revise the master plan based on the feedback, craft a business plan to determine funding, and develop an implementation strategy. It’s possible that if Parker voters approve a parks and rec tax increase in November, the town will use some of that money to contribute to recreation at Rueter-Hess, Cleveland said.

Cultural finds dazzle archaeologists Evidence of prior civilizations abundant

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com The environmental impact study required to build the reservoir revealed artifacts from old civilizations of huntergatherers who once called the area home.

The evidence — found both on the surface and beneath the soil in 2005 — included pit dwellings, rudimentary tools and even a child’s toy. There are three distinct layers that indicate the presence of humans 2,000, 5,000 and 8,000 years ago.

Perhaps the most significant finds were seven burial sites in three different locations.

During a private tour of the reservoir June 30, Parker Water’s director of engineering, Pieter Van Ry, showed four mounds of rocks in a straight line. Because they are hard to spot, wooden posts are used as locators. Representatives from the Arapaho tribe were brought out and confirmed that the plots were theirs, Van Ry said.

In the ensuing years, the Parker Water and Sanitation District discovered a frontiersman’s gravesite, complete with a wooden cross that’s still nearby. And one day, bones were found protruding from an eroded bank. Once the coroner determined that it was not a recent death, archaeologists took a closer look.

“The story is that the Navajo got to the front gate (of the reservoir), had a vision and said, ‘There’s two bodies up there,’” Van Ry said. “And so they came back in and excavated the first body — it was a woman — and under the woman was a child. The vision is what caused them to dig down and find the second body.”

A member of the Puebloan Indian tribe in New Mexico claimed the remains and reburied them with ancestors.

Further surprising officials was the discovery of two still-intact prayer circles, including one near a cap rock off Hess Road. Other clues have fueled speculation that Newlin Gulch, where Rueter-Hess Reservoir was built, was once a gathering place for tribes across the region.

“There is all kinds of evidence of fire pits, pottery, some pottery from far away, so we know there was gathering going on here,” Van Ry said. “Some of it came from as far away as Texas, which is the first time they’ve seen pottery from that area this far north.”

The archaeology team also found a carved effigy of an animal, which is a “very rare thing to find around here,” he said. It is believed that there is much more to discover.

“Our thought is to have some of the universities out here, some programs and classes, because there’s a lot of stuff to find,” said District Manager Ron Redd.

Wooden posts mark the spot of burial sites for members of the Arapaho tribe.

More than $1 million was spent on the environmental impact study. A few of the cultural resources will be displayed in Parker Water’s headquarters at E-470 and South Parker Road, as well as the lobby of a water treatment plant near the reservoir. But many of them will be left where they were found. The district must balance public interest with protecting the artifacts.

“We have outlying sensitive areas, and the challenge is it is such a nice cultural resource that you want to allow people to know it’s there, but you don’t want to let people get in there and essentially pillage it,” Van Ry said. “We want to keep people from going in and hunting points, because it will eliminate resources for future generations to study.”

Town tried to annex Rueter-Hess Reservoir Staff report The town of Parker attempted to annex Rueter-Hess Reservoir last year, but the request was denied.

According to documents provided

by Parker Water, Town Manager Randy Young submitted a letter to Parker Water District Manager Ron Redd last August “requesting that the board consider the possibility of annexing Rueter-Hess Reservoir.” The reservoir is less than a

mile east of the Hess Road/Castle Pines Parkway interchange with I-25.

The board of directors discussed the potential benefits and impacts of the annexation, but decided not to participate, Redd said.

“The board truly feels this is a regional facility and I think the biggest issue was if the reservoir and recreation area was annexed into the town, the other recreation partners wouldn’t be as excited to participate. Why put fund-

ing into a town of Parker recreation facility?” he said in response to a question via email.

The town has discussed finding a way to get frontage on Interstate 25.

There were no documents on Parker’s website reflecting the town’s intent to annex the reservoir and a spokeswoman said there was no official action taking place. Young was out of the office and not available to discuss the letter.

What to expect

• Fishing

On June 30, Parker Water’s future recreation manager, Susan Saint Vincent, addressed a small gathering of dignitaries taking a tour of the reservoir. She spoke from an overlook that provides a birds-eye view of the glassy reservoir from the south. To describe what the future might look like at RueterHess, Saint Vincent used words like “quiet,” “calm,” “tranquil” and “serene.”

Runners, hikers, canoeists and anglers will be the happiest, while those with speedboats, ATVs and jet skis might be disappointed. Because the reservoir is mainly intended for drinking water, motorized boating and swimming will not be allowed. Parker Water’s board of directors, while accepting new ideas, will set those limitations before the master-plan process begins.

“They basically said they want this to be a tranquil reservoir. This is the hiking trails, the canoeing, the fishing, punctuated with triathlons or community events because they help bring in money to pay for this,” Redd said.

Parker Water is tentatively planning on park settings with gazebos and picnic areas,

• Walking/hiking/ running • Camping

• Motorized boats • Motorized bikes • Swimming

and there is a strong possibility that overnight camping will be allowed at some point on the south end of the reservoir. There will be a hard- and soft-surface trail network totaling approximately 17 miles. The reservoir also could be the future site of fireworks displays.

L.L. Bean, a sporting goods outfitter that opened in Park Meadows mall last year, has approached Parker Water about providing canoes and paddleboats for rent to avoid the introduction of damaging mussels from other reservoirs and preclude the need for inspections. Such public-private partnerships will be helpful financially, Redd said.

Ultimately, the master plan will determine types of uses as well as funding sources.

“The key thing will be: How do we pay for this?” Redd said.

A change in leadership at Parker Water put the plan on a faster track. A recreation

A rising tide As of July 20, the reservoir contained 21,100 acre-feet, which would serve Parker’s existing population for nearly four years.

In mid-May, Redd showed off a diversion structure on Cherry Creek that was working overtime during a particularly wet spell in May and early June. Because Cherry Creek has been a “free river” for much of the year — meaning there are few limits to the amount of water that can be taken off — Parker Water and Sanitation was redirecting 130 acre-feet of water to Rueter-Hess Reservoir every day, with its pumps running at full power. In one four-week period, the water level at RueterHess rose an astounding 3.7 feet; it has averaged about one foot per month.

Only a handful of public officials — including Parker Town Council and the Douglas County commissioners — along with members of the Audubon Society, have gotten to tour the reservoir.

The commissioners were surprised by the stunning views, abundance of wildlife and amount of water in Rueter-Hess during a June 30 tour. They glued a commemorative coin to a rock that will slowly be inundated, and presumably, be there hundreds of years from now.

The commissioners also observed a water line marker near the dam that showed the reservoir’s depth at 95 feet, which is roughly halfway to the top.

The vision, goals and implementation timeline contained in the master plan will be available for the public to see in mid- to late-2016.

Staff report Parker Water has begun the first phase of a fish-stocking program that will excite anglers for years to come.

The district’s initial purpose in stocking the reservoir is to follow through with an aquatic vegetation management plan, required by the district’s environmental impact statement.

“The reservoir’s volume has now reached a point that we are comfortable with implementing the stocking plan,” said Ron Redd, district manager.

The approved fish-stocking strategy was developed by Aquatics Associates Inc., with the initial plan being implemented from 2015-19. The recommended phased approach is to first stock the reservoir with

forage species, including fathead minnows and bluegill.

Each stocking phase, at an anticipated cost of $27,000-$29,000, will span four consecutive years, with populations expanding on their own as the reservoir increases with size. Other game fish will be introduced in 2016 or later, including, but not limited to, channel catfish and rainbow trout. Stocking largemouth bass in 2017 will help to maintain a balanced and successful fishery.

Bill Wasserman, who sits on Parker Water’s board of directors, said the fish will provide “outstanding recreational fishing opportunities a few years down the road.”

The fishery biologists at Aquatics Associates predict that in future years, the reservoir will be able to support up to 20-pound rainbow trout.

VOICES

LOCAL

Mock, mock — who’s there? Not Elvis No more.

No more Elvis impersonators.

“Cheesie.” Tiresome. Tedious. But they happen all the time, and none of them is Early Elvis, when he was great.

It’s the Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich Elvis, when he was an unfortunate caricature.

As you might imagine, there are Elvis impersonator contests and festivals, and you can go online and hire one, or a dozen, for your next event.

Elvis impersonators have been around as long as Elvis has been around.

The first one, Carl “Cheesie” Nelson was doing voice impersonations in 1954.

I think his name says it all. I wish he had been the first and last.

Nelson was from Arkansas, which is also very telling.

Some impersonators impersonate Elvis’ voice, and others impersonate his appearance.

There was a very good voice impersonator named Ral Donner. His one hit was “You Don’t Know What You’ve Got,” and if you didn’t know better, it was Elvis.

Likewise Terry Stafford and “Suspicion.”

Elvis recorded “Suspicion” in 1962, but it wasn’t a hit.

Stafford came along in 1964 and covered it.

It was so good (Top 10) that Presley’s version was re-released (reached #34).

I don’t understand how anyone could be entertained by an Elvis impersonator.

But some people are amused by Drew Carey. Shop at Pottery Barn. Why? When Elvis was relevant, he was very relevant.

Craig Marshall Smith

QUIET DESPERATION

Later he started to make dreadful movies. Later he shoe-polished his hair and wore capes. (So did Dracula.)

That’s when the impersonators started to come out of the woodwork.

It’s an industry.

There have been movies. None of them is any good.

Want to torture me? Strap me down and make me watch “Honeymoon in

Vegas.”

I refuse to watch State Farm’s new commercial. Elvis impersonators. Las Vegas. Pink Cadillac. Stale. Banal. Humorless. Overworked. Trite. Thesaurus.

Elvis is too easy. Why not Burl Ives?

There is something called diminishing returns.

Why would State Farm go to the well again?

Elvis was born in 1935. It’s 2015. Maybe that had something to do with it.

His 80th birthday.

Woody Allen and Julie Andrews were born in 1935. I don’t see anyone impersonating them.

Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker was born in 1935. What’s wrong with impersonating him?

Uecker was hit in the head with a ball during the Brewers’ pre-game batting practice in

June.

Nevertheless, he insisted upon calling the game, but referred to outfielder Ryan Braun as a “hunk of burning love” and pitcher Will Smith as a “hound dog.”

I don’t know.

I am often mystified by some of the choices we make. Even some of my own.

Once or twice a week, I will get on YouTube, and one thing will lead to another and to another.

That’s how I rediscovered Ral Donner for this column.

Donner was only 41 when he died. Lung cancer.

Terry Stafford was only 54 when he died.

Liver failure.

Elvis was only 42 when he died. “Drug use was heavily indicated.”

Elvis died about a week before I moved to Colorado in 1977.

My move went unreported. Barely noticed.

Elvis’s death was widely reported, and he was “seen” for years.

And we still see him, in unfavorable reminders.

I will make one exception in these complaints. Performance artist Andy Kaufman.

His Elvis impersonation was exceptional and almost better than the real thing.

Kaufman was only 35 when he died. Kidney failure.

True to his performances, many people thought that Kaufman faked his own death.

No more Elvis counterfeits, please. Don’t be cruel.

It’s far better to sizzle than fizzle at finish line Have you ever been on a long hike or maybe a good run or walk where you know you are getting close to the finish and you either slow down to ease through the end, or you become even more energized and power through the finish line?

Maybe you have experienced this same feeling at work or in other situations and projects. You know that feeling, right? That feeling when we have been working hard at something or for someone and we are nearing the point of frustration and perhaps even exhaustion. The feeling of quitting or giving up is palpable and could temporarily make things so much easier on us if we could just stop right where we are.

Then that other feeling kicks in, that feeling of pride and resilience. This is when the expectation of winning intensifies and takes over as we know that if we can just push past the finish line we will feel a greater sense of accomplishment. So we dig in deeper to find the energy and strength to complete our workout, our project, and we end the race the way we know we want to finish.

Now we may be tired, spent, and completely drained but the gratification that comes with pushing through and pushing past the obstacles and hurdles that were in front of us only makes the victory that much sweeter.

Recently many of you have reached out and shared your life stories with me, and I greatly appreciate those conversations and email exchanges.

Some of you are feeling pushed and pulled in multiple directions, and for others things seem to be slipping Michael Norton through the cracks, causing heartache and WINNING frustration. And as I WORDS have shared with those of you who have written to me, we all face challenges, and it’s not a matter of “if” we ever face them, it’s “when” we will face them.

And just like a long hike, power walk, run or grueling workout, when we face those challenges we have to push past the finish line running just as hard if not harder as when we first started. We need to replace the feelings of quitting or giving up with intensity and empowerment that lets us power through and complete what it is that we need to complete.

Being pushed and pulled in multiple directions or being spread so thin where things

slip through the cracks happens when we are not completely focused and committed to our goal and where we are going and what we need to accomplish.

There is only one person in the world who can ever stop us or dilute us to the point of inefficiency and that is ourselves.

So as we learn to avoid those traps of being pushed and pulled, as we keep our focus on the completion of our tasks, projects, and goals, we will no doubt develop the attitude of not just easing into the end of our journey but rather powering and pushing past the finish line in all areas of our personal and professional lives.

You have it in you, you are so close, don’t stop, don’t quit, push yourself past the finish line.

How about you? Do you run harder as you know you are nearing the finish line or do you kind of ease on through? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we power and push through the finish line, it really will be a better than good week.

Heat poses avoidable risks to health The peak of summer is here. The hottest summer temperatures for the Denver and northeast Colorado area tend to occur in the second half of July, according to 30-year averages calculated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

In my 25 years as an emergency medicine physician, I’ve seen the catastrophic effect heat can have on health, and many of the people we see while providing event support in the National Disaster Medical System need treatment for heat-related illnesses. On average, heat-related illnesses cause more than 600 deaths every year, and from 2001 to 2010 more than 28,000 people were hospitalized for heat-related illnesses.

You can help keep yourself, your family and others around you out of the emergency department by watching for signs of heat stress.

People suffering from heat-related illnesses may experience heavy sweating; weakness; cold, pale, and clammy skin; fast, weak pulse; and nausea or vomiting. Early

signs include muscle cramps, heat rash and GUEST fainting or near-fainting spells. If you believe COLUMN someone is suffering from a heat-related illness, they need to move to a cooler location and lie down; apply cool, wet cloths to the body; and sip non-alcoholic fluids. They should remain in the cool location until recovered.

Signs that someone might be suffering from the most severe heat-related illness, heatstroke, include a body temperature above 103 degrees Fahrenheit; hot, red, dry or moist skin; rapid and strong pulse; and “altered mental status” that can range from confusion and agitation to possible unconsciousness. If you see someone exhibiting these signs, call 911 immediately; help the person move to a cooler environment; reduce the person’s body temperature with cool cloths soaked in ice water especially to head, neck, armpits and upper legs near the groin area

Dr. Tim Davis

where combined 70 percent of body heat can be lost, or even a cool bath if you can stay with them to ensure they do not drown; and do not give them fluids.

Children are especially vulnerable to heat illnesses, and can’t always tell us what is wrong. When it’s hot outside, consider any change in a child’s behavior as heat stress. Additionally, infants and children should never be left in a parked car, even if the windows are down.

To help prevent heat-related illness: • Spend time in locations with air-conditioning.

• Drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids.

Good choices are water and diluted sport drinks, unless told otherwise by your doctor.

• Choose lightweight, light-colored, loosefitting clothing • Limit outdoor activity to morning and evening hours • Protect yourself from the sun by wearing Heat continues on Page 9

Small business center fosters ‘economic garden’ SBDC says creating plan cuts failure risk by 25 percent

Sober-living house allowed to stay Council delivers harsh words before approving application

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Parker Town Council unanimously approved a use-by-special-review application that allows a drug and alcohol treatment house to stay in a residential neighborhood.

Council members, however, voiced their displeasure in approving the sober-living home, which is protected by the federal Fair Housing Act. Mayor Mike Waid said the law has been “twisted” to allow the recovery centers to make money.

Community Recovery of Colorado moved into Rowley Downs unannounced last fall, and neighbors were caught off guard by a rise in traffic, the presence of a commercial dumpster, and people coming in and out of the home on Parliament Way. More than 20 residents spoke to council before the decision was made July 20.

Many of them described the impacts on the neighborhood, with one homeowner calling the women’s-only center a “nuisance.”

Council member Josh Martin said he was “reluctantly” approving the use-by-specialreview application that brings Community Recovery into compliance with zoning requirements. Martin, along with dozens of residents in Rowley Downs, are upset that the sober-living house did not follow proper procedures before opening, including holding neighborhood meetings to explain their business. Many are also upset that a business is being allowed to move into an area zoned for residential uses.

Waid said the town would face legal action and the taxpayers would be stuck covering the costs of lawsuits. The town’s only option was to approve the use-by-specialreview application with 13 conditions; quarterly reviews during the first year will determine whether the conditions, which are meant to reduce impacts on neighbors, are being met.

Some residents who addressed council during the July 20 hearing said they doubt that the company will adhere to the rules, but Community Recovery Chief Executive Officer Cynthia McKay said the sober-living

In power outages, people who rely on electricity-dependent medical devices, like oxygen concentrators and electric wheelchairs, may need assistance, so check on your neighbors as the temperatures soar.

house is eager to prove that it can be a good neighbor. McKay, who has lived in Parker for 23 years, was among several employees who spoke in favor of the work being done

by Community Recovery.

A handful of Parker residents also showed support for the facility, which they said is doing good things for people who want help.

Albert Thompson, president of the Rowley Downs Homeowners’ Association, said he respects any effort to help people recover from addiction, but said it’s Community Recovery itself that is the concern.

“The organization, I don’t think, can be trusted,” he said.

Homeowner Diane Hawkin said that such a facility creates a “fundamental change” in a neighborhood of single-family homes, and that the damage has been done because the group is only willing to comply after it’s caught operating without permission.

Community Recovery has opened at least three separate sober-living houses in Colorado in recent months, and all of them have caused a stir in their respective neighborhoods.

Federal law allows for a maximum of eight people in a residential group home.

The 13 conditions were imposed to make the sober-living house more compatible with its surroundings. If those are not met, the Town of Parker has legal authority to remove the business.

The six women living in the home leave every weekday to go through treatment and counseling in downtown Denver.

Jayne Tschirhart-Short, a resident of Rowley Downs and the wife of a Community Recovery employee, said the women should be commended for seeking help, and said she was “hit with shock and shame” after hearing “cruel” and “inhumane” comments about the house at an HOA meeting.

Katrina Eike, a resident of Canterberry Crossing, said she moved from Aurora to Parker specifically because a sober-living house moved in next door to their former home. They suffered through the impacts for three years before ultimately selling the house for less than it was worth, she said.

Renee Williams, a member of town council, said she will personally show up to throw Community Recovery out of the neighborhood if it does not comply with the conditions set by the town. but they are also preventable. Take some time to learn more about ways to beat the heat so that you, your family, and your community can have a safer, healthier summer.

If you or someone you know needs help with energy bills, including air conditioning, assistance might be available through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program administered by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families. To learn more about this program, contacts for each state are listed at www.acf.hhs.gov/ programs/ocs/liheap-state-and-territorycontact-listing.

In the fall of 2014, the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center moved into offices located in the same building that houses the Chamber of Commerce in the city administration building at 9220 Kimmer Drive in Lone Tree.

Since then, Marcia McGilley and her team have helped nine small businesses get off the ground and continue to help grow what she calls an “economic garden.”

“Some people think we only help startups or people thinking about starting a business,” McGilley said. “We help about 40 percent of those with an idea who are actually in that startup phase, but 60 percent of our clients have been in business a year or longer.”

The SBDC helps existing and new businesses in Arapahoe, Douglas and south Jefferson counties grow by offering quality, free, one-on-one consulting and free or low-cost workshops.

“We are finding that our funders and our hosts are interested in the economic garden of growing the businesses that are still here, keeping and retaining customers, so that’s where our focus is going,” McGilley said.

According to SBDC, lack of funding and failure to make a business plan are the two largest barriers to launching a successful business.

“In Douglas County we don’t find that funding is the most difficult prospect because we have the socioeconomics down here,” she said. “Most of the people down here self-fund their own businesses. But people will jump in before they’ve written a business plan or strategic plan.”

SBDC will work with new business to design a business plan, secure funding if needed and devise a strategy for success.

“I was a small business owner myself and turned it into a bigger business, but a lot of times when you get started you think you have all the answers but you really don’t. They need a coach or sounding board or someone they can go to help them,” Lone Tree Council member Harold Anderson said. “Most of them don’t really want to ask for help because that shows insecurity. So to have a resource in this area that can coach them and bring them to reality and help them get started is going to cut the failure rate quite a bit.”

Anderson was the founder of H.A.H. Medical, a sales and marketing company selling OB/GYN equipment and instruments to hospitals, medical schools and clinics, which he started in 1988. In December 2013 H.A.H Medical was sold to the Thomas Medical Inc. Division of Catheter Research.

One of the program’s early success stories is Cranelli’s Italian restaurant, 10047 Park Meadows Drive.

The restaurant began working with SBDC in 2013 and has since launched and grown a successful business.

“I’ve chosen them as our 2015 nomination for small business of the year,” McGilley said.

Pradera fights plan for density increase Residents south of Parker worry about traffic from new homes

‘We are not opposed to the county growing. We are opposed to rapid growth where density, traffic and schools are afterthoughts.’

By Chris Michlewicz

Jim Weber,

Proposed changes to make way for new housing developments south of Parker are causing concern among residents.

Homeowners in the Pradera and Vistancia neighborhoods, south of the Parker’s boundary, have raised opposition to a request from residential developers to amend an intergovernmental agreement between Douglas County and Parker.

The IGA is required before the property can be rezoned from agriculture use to “Estate Residential” use, said Curt Weitkunat, planning supervisor for the county. If approved by Douglas County’s commissioners, a subsequent application for the Sagewood Estates development could bring lot sizes from 35 acres to as low as 2.5 acres.

Pradera resident The county planning commission will decide Aug. 3 whether to recommend the IGA amendment to the commissioners. The commissioners are scheduled to consider final approval at 2:30 p.m. Aug. 11 at the Philip S. Miller Building in Castle Rock.

Approximately 10 residents from Pradera and Vistancia attended a meeting July 23 at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center to learn more about the development process as it relates to adjacent properties.

John Albright, a resident of Pradera,

called the plans “outrageous” and said the addition of homes from three proposed developments would cause major traffic issues. He is upset because he said the county seems more willing to accommodate developers than to protect existing homeowners.

“It seems like the county makes whatever change to (the comprehensive master plan) that developers want, so what’s the purpose of having a master plan and changing it?” Albright said.

There are plans in various stages of review for three separate neighborhoods, all

north of Pradera and Vistancia. Cielo, also known as Arlington Ranch, is a 151-acre development proposed for the northeast corner Scott Road and Bayou Gulch Road.

It could include 343 detached single-family lots and a K-8 school.

Stone Creek, for which zoning has already been approved, is in the subdivision phase and could begin construction on the first of its roughly 329 homes later this year. The 250-acre site is located north of the Pinery Glen development, south of Scott Avenue, west of South Parker Road, and east of Vistancia.

Preliminary planning documents show around 50 homes for Sagewood Estates, but that is likely to change before official applications are submitted, Weitkunat said.

Pradera resident Jim Weber said the new homes will generate more traffic on Bayou Gulch Road, one of the few avenues to get in and out of the neighborhood. He says the rush to approve new housing results in certain negative impacts being ignored.

“We are not opposed to the county growing,” Weber said. “We are opposed

Every developer is required to hire a - firm to conduct a traffic-impact analysis w that is then reviewed by Douglas Coun- ty’s public works and engineering divisions. The analysis, submitted as part of y a land-use application, includes things d like existing vehicle trips per day and projected conditions based on the num0 ber of homes. Developers are required to

pay for road improvements to help with resulting traffic impacts on surrounding roads.

The yet-to-be-built southern portion of Chambers Road, which will lead north and south but eventually curve and connect with Crowfoot Valley Road at Bayou Gulch Road, won’t be built until the development of Hess Ranch, a subdivision planned south of Stroh Ranch. That project is within the town of Parker, and the timing of its construction will be determined by the developer. Until then, Pradera and Vistancia residents say, traffic will become an issue on Bayou Gulch Road, Pradera Parkway and Crowfoot Valley/Motsenbocker Road.

Douglas County officials often refer to the county’s 2035 Comprehensive Master Plan as a “living document” or “evolving document that establishes a common vision for what the county will look like over the next 20 to 30 years.”

The intergovernmental agreement is a land-use agreement that maps out broad areas where Parker’s borders meet unincorporated Douglas County. Cielo was originally intended to be developed in Parker, but the town told the county that it is not prepared for development in that area and was not interested in annexing the land, Weitkunat said.

The 35-acre lots originally in the Sagewood Estates plan “didn’t fit with the rest

of the uses, so we’re bringing it in line” with the existing developments, Weitkunat said. Requests to increase project densities are made by developers.

The July 23 meeting in Parker, which involved Weitkunat and other county planners, included “good, interactive discussions” about the development process, Albright said. However, he said he is concerned about the county’s role in encouraging development that isn’t in the best interest of neighboring communities.

The hook is in the water

Generations form bond over fishing

FISHING LOSING POPULARITY

By Nick Puckett

npuckett@colorado communitymedia.com Knee deep in the north fork of the South Platte River, John Scialdone whips his fly rod back and forth across the water.

With a flick of the wrist, he jerks the rod forward, sweeping the line through the air, landing it in the water. His cast is smooth and deliberate. Each movement carefully measured. Each stroke precise.

It’s like he’s painting a masterpiece.

Scialdone, from Gilbert, Arizona, and his grandson Jake, from Elkview, Pennsylvania, are standing in a stream 10 miles west of Bailey. They met in Colorado the day before for a three-day, guided fly-fishing tour. It’s Jake’s high school graduation present.

The river running through the private ranch tucked away in a Rocky Mountain valley is still high.

And on this mid-July morning, the 79-year-old man scores his first catch, a 17inch rainbow trout. His smile gives away his lighthearted demeanor.

“I really enjoy being outside,” John said as he flings his line upstream again, “whether I catch anything or not.”

A few minutes later, he hooks an 18-inch rainbow trout.

Twenty feet downstream, Jake throws his line in an almost mirror image of his grandfather. He pays similar attention to the accuracy of each cast — an uncharacteristically gauged approach from the zealous, fast-talking 18-year-old.

But, after all, it was his grandfather who taught him how to fish.

The line pulls taut. It’s snagged on the river bottom.

“I never stop talking about fishing,” Jake said, not missing a beat as he methodically casts again. “Ask my girlfriend.”

Teen is practiced fisherman

Studies show teens are least likely to want to learn to fish. But for Jake, the sport has been a part of his life since he was 3. He

Fly-fishing guide Tom Caprio advises Jake Scialdone on where to cast his line. caught his first trout at 7. The fishing stories and clichés he recites make him sound like an old pro.

Jake and his grandfather, whom he calls Pop, meet once or twice a year to go fishing.

On this trip, their guide, Tom Caprio, quickly runs through the basics of tension casting, a basic fly-fishing technique not like the romantic false casting you see in movies.

Jake catches on quickly.

His cast is effortless. His patience measured. His intuition distinct.

Jake fishes regularly in a stream near his home 50 miles west of Philadelphia.

“It’s more consistent,” Jake said of Pennsylvania fishing where nearly every cast returns a fish, usually a 5-inch brook trout, a species native to eastern North America but also found in the high Colorado mountains.

“They’re a lot smaller ... I’d rather get a big one.”

The line catches again — he’s got a bite.

For two minutes, he fights to reel in the

20-inch brown trout. After a photo shoot with what would be the largest catch of the day, Jake sets it back in the net and takes his own photos so he can draw pictures of it later. He draws every fish he catches, as long as it’s 16 inches long — that’s his rule.

As a freshman in high school, Jake played football, but he suffered six concussions that forced him to quit.

“That’s when I really started fishing,” Jake said. “It’s all I really had besides music.”

He plays the drums and teaches guitar lessons part-time.

He landed a part-time job at a local fish market and began deep-sea fishing for prize fish, usually worth about $150, but sometimes thousands of dollars.

Fishing in streams or lakes can be more fun than in the ocean, Jake said, “until you catch a fish,” because they’re smaller.

“The scenery isn’t as good either,” he added. “Colorado is awesome.”

In 2014, 9.9 million people gave up fishing while 8.7 million started, reflecting a decrease in the pastime’s popularity, according to a fishing report sponsored by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation and the Outdoor Foundation. The report can be found on takemefishing.org.

Jake Scialdone, 18, attributes this to a lack of excitement caused by little success in the water.

“A lot of kids get bored,” Jake said. “If you don’t have the right technology and don’t catch a lot of fish, you get bored.”

Among adults 45 and older, 43 percent said they were considering picking up the sport, according to the report, compared to only 6.6 percent of teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 — the least likely demographic to be interested in the sport.

The report suggested a main factor to its low popularity was that only 37 percent of teenagers think outdoor activities are “cool.” Some 41.5 percent of first-time adult anglers said the sport was “uninteresting” or “time-consuming.”

“I feel like people say that when they don’t catch anything,” said Scialdone. “It’s all boring until you hook into a 30-inch cutthroat.”

The type of fishing can also make a difference in the sport’s excitement, fishing guide Tom Caprio said.

“One thing with fly-fishing,” he said, “it’s very active” compared to bait fishing. “When you have kids … you want to go to places with a lot of action.”

‘Up for something new’ Upstream, John continues casting. Unrushed, he watches the fly float downstream as far as the line will give before snapping it out of the water and back upstream. After a while, he wades farther into the water, waist-deep in the fast-moving rapids.

John has been fishing since he was 8 years old, but picked up fly-fishing only six years ago.

“I keep hearing people say it’s the only true way to catch trout,” said John, “so I figured I’d try it.” He gives another of his trademark, ear-to-ear smiles. “I’m always up for something new.”

fish.” When John was 9, he and his brother fished in the local canal.

The two would bring home long strings of small, scaly, inedible fish.

“What the hell you going to do with those?” he recalled his father would ask. “You going to clean them?” They ended up burying the fish as fertilizer.

John chuckled at the memory.

“We caught gobs of fish. We must’ve caught 50, 60 fish,” he

• Cast near the shoreline for more bites.

• Larger fish enjoy larger insects, like locusts and grasshoppers.

• Know what type of casting is appropriate for the region you’re fishing. False casting works better when the fish rise to the surface, said Caprio. “False casting … can get messy,” said Caprio. “If the fish aren’t rising, there’s no point. If you want to catch fish, tension casting is the way to go.”

said. “From that day on, I knew that I could catch fish. That’s really when I fell in love with it.”

Grandfather shares fish tales At lunch, the grandfather recounted the time a property owner shot at him for floating on a private, Colorado river. Everyone within earshot was glued. He rehashes old fishing tales like a veteran might with war stories.

Jake has heard the story probably

FISHING TIPS • Fish tend to congregate in areas where the water turns from shallow to deep to find food. “Trout are energy efficient,” said fly-fishing guide Tom Caprio. Instead of going out to find food, he said, fish will stay in one place and catch the insects floating in the current.

7. Cherry Creek Reservoir Fish: Largemouth Bass, Wiper, Crappie, Common Carp, Perch, Walleye, Bluegill, Rainbow Trout

• The best time to go fishing is around sunrise when the water is colder.

• Research the region you will be fishing in to find out what kinds of fish live there and the things they like. Caprio inspects the water for the types of bugs floating in the current to see what the fish will be feeding on that day.

• Check the local fishing reports that day for updates on areas where fish are biting.

• Go with a guide — beginner or veteran. “You can shortcut the learning curve,” said Caprio. “There’s different techniques. What guides can do is help learn how to do them, even for some people who have been fishing for years.”

a hundred times. He’s the most engaged.

For Jake, who fishes more often than he plays video games, the stories never get old.

After his fourth catch of the day, Jake posed with a one-handed “hero’s grip” and smiled. He didn’t bother taking a picture of the 10-inch rainbow — too small to immortalize in a drawing. He returned to the same hole.

For Jake, fishing is an escape.

He said he likes the solitude.

“I’m away from people,” he said. “People are OK, but I get irritated to a point. Fishing, you’re outside by yourself. It gives you an excuse to do something.”

He paused casting for a moment and looked upstream at his Pop. “But you’re out here … When you look up, you look around, you realize where you are.”

Guide has multitude of roles

By Nick Puckett

npuckett@colorado communitymedia.com Fishing guide Tom Caprio doesn’t bring his own rod when he goes fishing — well, he’s not really fishing. His job is to make sure other people catch fish.

Caprio, 55, guides fly-fishing tours for Colorado Fly Fishing Adventures and founded Mountain Escapes, a mountain adventure tour business in Colorado and New Mexico.

During the winter, Caprio teaches ski lessons. He began guiding fly-fishing tours six years ago.

For this trip to a river in a private ranch 10 miles west of Bailey, he lends two rods to his clients, John Scialdone and his grandson Jake Scialdone.

Caprio leads John and Jake to a rocky bank. Armed with a 20-inch net tucked at his side, four fly-fishing rods, knee pads, and a backpack full of water and first-aid equipment, he almost looks like he’s ready for war.

Caprio gives a crash course on tension casting, a fly-fishing technique where the angler casts his or her rod upstream and slowly reels in the line as the fly floats downstream. The more well-known false-casting technique, where the user whips the line back and forth several times before landing it in the water, is used more when fish are rising toward the surface, he explained.

“This job is part photographer, part guide … part baby sitter,” he said with a laugh as he freed a hook from his palm.

“Part getting hooks out my hand.”

All day Caprio changes flies, untangles lines and provides advice to John and Jake.

Tom Caprio talks Jake Scialdone through reeling in his first catch of the day. Caprio, a professional fly-fishing guide, uses a net 20 inches in diameter to scoop the fish out of the water once it’s reeled in by an angler. Photo by Nick Puckett But he doesn’t seem to mind.

“You’re in pretty places,” he said. “And it’s very in the moment. When you are out here, you can forget about the other stuff.”

Good times brewing at RiNo hotel New Belgium Brewing is about to let the creative juices flow through a new 10-barrel pilot brewery at The Source Hotel in Denver’s River North District, which is slated to start construction later this summer. New Belgium will brew on the ground floor of the Source Hotel, with barrel aging on the eighth floor in a rooftop lounge dubbed The Woods, a collaboration between New Belgium and The Source Hotel.

The Woods will serve New Belgium beers paired with small plates and will include a snack counter and bar, sit-down dining and beer garden. The eighth floor will also include a pool and rooftop deck with mountain and downtown views.

“After 25 years in Fort Collins, we’re really excited to get more deeply involved in Colorado’s cultural and political capital,” said Jenn Vervier, director of strategy and sustainability at New Belgium. “We’ve long considered creating a Denver location to bring the New Belgium experience to more of our Colorado fans and to the millions of travelers who visit Denver. RiNo is already a vivid scene with a rich art and craft beer culture, and will soon have great access for bikers and walkers. This small batch brewery will allow us to collaborate with The Woods’ chef and mixologists to create innovative beers, drinks and pairings you can’t get anywhere else. The Source Hotel and the Zeppelin Development team are the perfect fit.”

Tap and Burger expands

Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake, a sister restaurant to the popular Highland Tap and Burger, will be the first tenant in the seven-block, $300 million development of Sloans, a restaurant, retail and residential neighborhood diPenny Parker rectly south of Sloan’s MILE HIGH Lake. The 177-acre project will be the secLIFE ond largest in the Mile High City.

Alexan Sloan’s Lake, occupying blocks five and six of the seven-block Sloans project, is a new 369-unit luxury apartment development by Trammell Crow Residential.

Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake is the newest endeavor from Juan Padro and his wife, Katie O’Shea-Padro, owners of LoHi’s awardwinning Highland Tap and Burger.

The 4,600-square-foot Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake space, at 1565 Raleigh St., is part of TCR’s 10,000-square-foot ground level retail and restaurant development.

“Being a part of a community is superimportant to us, and this project really lends itself to embracing the Sloan’s Lake community,” Padro said. ”We were encouraged, as I hope others will be, by the fact that we have a compelling opportunity to contribute to the future growth of such a dynamic neighborhood. It’s a super-active area — you’ve got apartments, homes with back yards, a great

walkability factor, the park and the lake — that’s bolstered by a ton of football traffic and thousands of cars that use Colfax to get in and out of downtown.”

Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake is scheduled to begin construction in late fall, and Padro plans to open in March 2016.

The Alexan Sloan’s Lake project includes high-design studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments. Construction on the apartments is underway with the first units delivering in October.

Museum blooms with floral art Impressionist pieces bring brilliant colors to galleries

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com It starts in the plaza in front of the Hamilton Building at the Denver Art Museum, with groupings of 15 species of plants and fanciful large purple faux flowers, leading the visitor inside past the Flower Studio, where one can create or watch artists at work on weekends.

“In Bloom: Painting Flowers in the Age of Impressionism” is being exhibited at the museum, and on the second floor, the main galleries are filled with about 60 brilliantly colored floral still life paintings ranging from the late 17th century to the early 20th century.

A mural depicts artist Pierre Joseph Redout’s School of Botanical Drawing, where fashionable young ladies in gauzy white frocks learned to draw and paint flowers — a proper pursuit.

Museum walls are painted in pastels and brighter colors and windows are cut in them so one almost has a sense of looking out into the garden — or a painting across the room is framed.

This exhibit originated with the Dallas Museum of Art’s Dr. Heather MacDonald (now with the Getty Foundation) and Dr. Mitchell Merling, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond. Denver is the final tour stop and the local curator is Angelica Daneo, associate curator of painting and sculpture at the Denver Art Museum.

Daneo pointed out the transition from 18th-century realism, with its accuracy of petals and leaves — although the bouquet may be imaginary since not all flowers shown would have been blooming at the same time and today’s airborne blooms were not even conceived of.

In the 19th century, many of the Impressionists had their own gardens and would gather a bouquet, tuck it in a vase and proceed to paint, revitalizing the genre. (Daneo commented that the famous Cezanne was not as successful with florals because he worked so slowly that his flowers would fade and droop before he finished.) Degas, Renoir and Pissaro are also represented.

Less formal compositions and looser brushwork typifies the Impressionists’ work.

One even has some dead flowers, strewn with

IF YOU GO “In Bloom: Painting Flowers in the Age of Impressionism” runs through Oct. 11 at the Denver Art Museum. Related “arrangements” are found in the North Building: “Focus on Lotus,” Level 5; artist in residence Tom Haukaas, Level 3; Single Flower Bloom (including Georgia O’Keeffe), Level 7; Plaza activity cart. Ticketed event — members free. (Free first Saturday.) Denverartmuseum.org, 720-865-5000.

Henri Matisse (1869-1954), “Still Life: Bouquet and Compotier,” 1924. Oil on canvas, 29 inches by 36 inches, Dallas Museum of Art. This still life and interior is an impressionist view of flowers. Courtesy photos cherries on a table. A wall area is devoted to Manet paintings, which are small and lovely — created at the end of his life. Perhaps his wife gathered flowers from his garden and arranged them for him, Daneo speculated.

Vincent Van Gogh arrived in Paris in 1886 and was influenced to try floral still lifes. It was inexpensive to experiment. His sunny bouquet of blue cornflowers and red poppies just says “summer is here.”

A scented garden space with a large photomural of Monet in his garden at Giverny offers cards perfumed by flowers shown in the mural.

Also on the second floor: “The Four Seasons of Veronica Read” (2002) is a four-screen video installation of an English woman who keeps over 900 Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) bulbs in her two bedroom apartment — each producing one bloom a year. She talks about her passion.

Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890), “Vase with Cornflowers and Poppies,”1887. Oil on canvas, 31 inches by 26 inches, Triton Collection Foundation. This work is in the exhibit “In Bloom” at the Denver Art Museum.

Phamaly’s ‘Cabaret’ not family fare Dark musical isn’t typical summer show from troupe

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lights go up on the Emcee as the orchestra swings into “Willkommen” and the audience is transported to Berlin and the seedy 1930 Kit Kat Klub.

But, in this production of the Tony Award winning “Cabaret,” there are IF YOU GO two Emcees who perform in tandem: Daniel Tray“Cabaret” is presented by Phamaly lor, a Phamaly Theatre Theatre Company in the Space Company veteran, with a Theatre, Denver Center Performing hearing disability, strong Arts Complex, through Aug. 9. voice and vibrant persoPerformances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, na, sings while New YorkSaturdays; 2 p.m. Sunday.

Phamaly.org, 303-893in tandem — almost in a 4100. danced duet.

A bit distracting in the beginning, but it fits into a textured pattern, constant motion, carefully choreographed by Debbie Stark and her daughter, Ronnie Gallup, with attention to lighting.

The band, led by music director Mary Dailey, is located up high in the theater-in-the round — in a balcony area, where a section of seats has been removed. It’s backlit and works well, with the sound nicely balanced.

This unique presentation is a decision of director Bryce Alexander, who auditioned and recruited the New Yorkbased Zuercher, an Equity actor, to perform in this challenging musical, an edgier choice than the Phamaly Theatre Company’s usual summer musical production. (Think “Fiddler on the Roof” and “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”)

Alexander spent time studying the history of Weimar Germany and learned that handicapped performers were hired to perform in 1930s Berlin night clubs. They were also among the first to be hauled away to concentration camps when Hitler came into power. That dark cloud hangs over the scenes throughout the musical.

Now we say “differently abled” and pretty much forget

that aspect of this remarkable company once a performance is underway. In its 26th season, Phamaly seems solidly established and is looking ahead to a combination of edgier fare, children’s theater and standards. Watch for them in a theater near you!

Jeffry Palmer plays writer Cliff Bradshaw, who has come to Berlin to finish his book. His real-life wife, Lindsay Palmer, plays the Kit Kat’s feature singer, sexy Sally Bowles, who moves in with him, in a parallel story, while Lucy Roucis (Fraulein Schneider) and Mark Disette (Herr Schultz) play out their sad romance.

Strains of the Nazi anthem, “The Future Belongs to Me,” float in often enough to keep the audience on edge — including renditions by the unsavory Fraulein Kost (Ashley Kelashian) and dishonest businessman Ernst Ludwig (Trent Schindle).

The second act gets a bit jumbled due to the size of the cast in a smallish playing space. Probably Alexander and the choreographers will work with the actors to smooth out large numbers. This is a strong production and one adult theater lovers will want to see. (Leave the littler kids at home.)

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com A large crowd of artists and friends gathered in Arapahoe Community College’s Colorado Gallery of the Arts on July 17 to celebrate art that was chosen for the 2015 annual Juried Kaleidoscope Exhibition.

Gallery curator Trish Sangelo said there were 156 entries from 32 artists. More than half were selected for the exhibit, which runs through Aug. 14. There are paintings, drawings, photographs, mixed media works and some crafts.

Gigi Lambert, an art instructor at ACC, was juror. An interesting, textured painting of hers hangs at the entrance with her statement. She said she tried to pick a diverse group of works, considering structure, color and form, with a particular interest in structure.

She awarded Best of Show to photographer Kathie Ballah for her striking black and white photo named “Steel in Motion.” Ballah said she shot it during a visit to the Kyoto Train Station.

Second place went to artist Barbara Veatch, a former Metropolitan State art instructor, for her mixed media piece, “Tangled Garden,“ (charcoal, pastels, ink and collage).

Third was for Becca Murray’s up-close watercolor rendering of a cob of sweet corn, “Corn #3.”

Honorable mentions were divided into 2D and 3D categories and went to Forrest

Trumpeter, teacher has new CD Klobnak on ACC faculty; concert set for Denver

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Local trumpet player, teacher and author Jason Klobnak is on the music faculty at Arapahoe Community College as a brass instructor. The clinician and educator also leads the Jason Klobnak Quintet, which has just recorded a new CD called “New Chapter” and plans its release with a concert at 7 p.m. Aug. 11 at Dazzle Jazz Restaurant and Lounge in Denver.

He said the music consists of original compositions and will be available on Aug. 11. His first release was “Mountain Move” in 2013, which received critical acclaim.

Band members, in addition to Klobnak on trumpet, are: Elijah Samuels, tenor sax; Annie Booth, piano and Rhodes electric piano; Kim Bird, bass; and Paul Mullikin, drums.

Klobnak, who has been at ACC about a year and a half, is from Des Moines, Iowa, where he attended Drake University. He moved to Denver in 2004, finished his master’s degree at DU’s Lamont School of Music, and has been performing and teaching in the area since then — playing and recording jazz, indie-rock/pop and gospel.

In 2014, the quintet performed in the University of Denver’s Sesquicentennial Concert Series, Five Points Jazz Festival, at a Colorado Rockies game, in the Acacia Park Concert Series (Colorado Springs) and the Lake City Arts Festival.

“I think we may have to buy it” Larry Perkins said happily.

He had stood in the doorway of the Highlands Ranch Library watching children respond to “Molly, Dieter and Susie,” a bronze sculpture of three pudgy basset hounds that is placed in front of the library through Douglas County’s Art Encounters program.

He talked of three kids insisting that their mother take their photo with the charming pups. Others were climbing on the sculpture and petting it.

Perkins, a computer guy-turned-sculptor, is the Highlands Ranch Cultural Affairs Association representative — and “token artist” — on the county’s Art Encounters selection committee. He sat down over coffee with us to explain how the program runs.

Other members, per county employee Dan Dertz, “who herds these cats”: Karine Beard, Town of Castle Rock; Andrew C. Hawkins, Town of Parker; Flo Tonelli, Patricia Jenkins, LeeAnn Jimenez, Roxborough Arts Council; Jack Christensen, Douglas County Cultural Council liaison.

The Douglas County Cultural Council administers funds generated by the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD), which includes all jurisdictions but Castle Rock.

SCFD funding pays for the program, which the Douglas County Cultural Council invented, based on a similar program in Grand Junction, where “borrowed” sculptures line the main street. (Evergreen also operates such a program, Perkins says.)

Castle Rock pays its share out of a special fund.

A call for entries from Colorado artists goes out early in the year and entries, with digital images, are made through CAFÉ, the call for entries website. Choices are made and the cultural council reviews them.

A uniform contract guides all business dealings with artists, since each entity involved is differently organized — “organization is not consistent,” Perkins says with

a grin, perhaps understating the situation.

Castle Rock, Parker and Lone Tree are incorporated municipalities, while Highlands Ranch and Roxborough are not.

Each chooses locations for sculpture placement.

Selected sculptors receive a $500 stipend and must deliver what they represented on their application.

“We now have permanent mounts,” Perkins said, with a steel bar that can be welded on if needed. The artist must let the committee know what’s needed and in June, the previous year’s sculptures are returned to the owner — or in some cases, a buyer — and new ones are installed. “They have abandoned traditional, representational work,” Perkins observes sadly as he looks at the brochure.

There are 26 new original works now in outdoor locations — at recreation centers, parks, libraries, business locations — and Perkins wishes families and individuals would go on tour to see them. Most are not lighted, he said, so daytime excursions are in order. (Castle Rock has five; Lone Tree, which has a sculpture garden by the Arts Center, has six; Roxborough, new this year, has one; Highlands Ranch and Parker each have seven.)

A brochure with a picture of each, and a price, is available (but no addresses), as is a bookmark with the program name. “There is a communication problem,” Perkins suggests. How to get folks out to enjoy them?

Addresses for all can be found on the Art Encounters website — www.douglas.co.us/ artencounters — which is also where one votes for a favorite. (See Vote4Art.)

Parker doctor pioneers weight-loss procedure Surgery available even if only 30 pounds overweight

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Amy Smith can attest to the bruising experience of yo-yo dieting.

For years, the Aurora resident tried the most popular weight-loss programs and had considerable success. That is, until she stopped doing them. Smith eventually would slide back into old habits when she left behind the foods and supplements provided by the programs. She reached a breaking point last July.

“Each year, my health was getting worse,” she said. “My cholesterol was not doing good, I was four points away from having sleep apnea and one point away from being pre-diabetic, and I just decided it was time to do something about it.”

She signed up to have gastric bypass surgery, but days before the procedure, the hospital put a stop to it. At 177 pounds, her medical provider said she didn’t meet the criteria because she hadn’t yet reached the diagnosis threshold.

That’s where Dr. Matthew Metz stepped in. The former medical director of Parker Adventist Hospital’s bariatric program struck out on his own in 2012, creating a practice on the second floor of a building southwest of South Parker Road and Parkglenn Way. He has since pioneered what he calls the Resolute procedure, a take on traditional bariatric surgeries. However, candidates can be as little as 30 pounds overweight.

Metz told Smith about Resolute, which involves the laparoscopic removal of twothirds of the stomach via five small incisions. He takes out the stomach area that stretches, along with specialized cells that line the stomach and produce the appetite hormone ghrelin, which sends hunger signals to the brain.

“It’s an established procedure that’s been done for bariatric patients for many years,” Metz said. “What we’ve done is just altered it slightly to make it safe and effective for people with lower body-mass index.”

People who are at least 100 pounds over-

Dr. Matthew Metz, medical director and founder of Pure Body Transformation in Parker, laughs at a photo of three former patients lifting him over their heads. Metz performs bariatric surgery for those as little as 30 pounds overweight. Photo by Chris Michlewicz weight have a significantly lower life expectancy because of resulting ailments like diabetes and heart disease. Patients only 30 pounds overweight have a seven- to 14-year reduction in life expectancy, Metz said.

Smith, who has multiple sclerosis and overheats when working out, paid out of pocket for her procedure — Metz estimated the cost at around $13,000 — and said she has no regrets. Smith regained her energy and is “comfortable in my skin,” she said.

Two weeks out from her one-year evaluation, she stands at a trim 117 pounds.

Smith has also seen reductions in her risk factors for high blood pressure and other conditions associated with extra weight.

Metz said it’s possible for patients to eat so much that it expands the stomach, but his Resolute success rate is more than

80 percent, compared to diet and exercise, which provides only a 5 percent chance of long-term success, he said.

“Being on a diet by itself is a predictor of weight-loss failure,” Metz said.

While learning laparoscopy at the Cleveland Clinic, he was used to operating on patients who were often hundreds of pounds overweight. He is happy to provide a new option to people who are 30 to 90 pounds overweight. And while Colorado is typically the leanest state in the country, with an obesity rate of about 20 percent, there are many who feel the need to try an alternative route to losing extra pounds.

“I worried that people would think this is a quick fix or an easy way out, but it’s not like I didn’t try doing things the hard way,” Smith said. “I’m hoping it’s a more perma-

nent solution.”

The disadvantages, according to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, are that the procedures are nonreversible and patients have the potential for long-term vitamin deficiencies. The National Institutes of Health says that some patients regain some of the lost weight over time and that problems can occur, like a stretched pouch or separated stitches. The risk of leakage is generally 2-3 percent, but Metz says he has had zero reports of leakage.

Gastric-bypass surgery and sleeves are generally meant for those with a body-mass index of 35 or greater, but the Mayo Clinic says those with a BMI between 30 and 34 who have serious weight-related health problems are also candidates.

‘Southpaw’ is tale of transformation

Gyllenhaal gives impressive performance as boxer Billy Hope

By Jake Coyle

Associated Press If you’ve ever wondered what might have happened to Job if he had a strong left hook, “Southpaw” may be the film for you.

The rapid descent of light heavyweight champ Billy Hope ( Jake Gyllenhaal) in Antoine Fuqua’s boxing drama is of biblical proportions. Not weeks after Hope — rich, happy, successful — has defended his belt and unblemished record, a fatal altercation strips him of his family, his mansion and his career.

This being a boxing film, redemption is as much a certainty as a training montage. But Fuqua, an avid boxer himself, has pushed the pugilist parable even further. “Southpaw” is downright Old Testament.

As a tale of transformation, “Southpaw” functions two ways. There’s the story of Billy Hope striving to build his life back. And then there’s the tale of the actor who plays him. The latter packs the bigger punch.

Our first real view of Gyllenhaal is of him streaming toward the camera, emerging from a hazy blur a snarling, bloody spit of rage, rampaging across the ring.

The shot, in a way, is fitting. Gyllenhaal, as one of the most exciting leading men in Hollywood, is coming into focus, even as he’s eluding the frame. His maturation as an intense, all-in shape-shifter has become especially clear of late in films like “Nightcrawler” and “Prisoners.”

“Southpaw” is him romping in his new weight class.

Much has already been made of Gyllenhaal’s bulking up for “Southpaw,” and it’s indeed impressive. But beyond the startling sight of the actor we once knew as Donnie Darko covered in muscles and tattoos, Gyllenhaal’s performance is most dynamic in his tender, mumbled moments with his wife, Maureen (Rachel McAdams), or daughter, Leila (Oona Laurence). Outside of the ring, his Billy Hope sounds like a guy who’s been knocked around.

Fuqua plunges immediately into Hope’s title defense against a brash rival Miguel Escobar (Miguel Gomez). The director (“Training Day,” “The Equalizer”) prefers a visceral directness (he has made

ABOUT THE MOVIE “Southpaw,” a Weinstein Co. release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “language throughout and some violence.” Running time: 119 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

a comeback movie about a boxer named Hope, after all) and he’s favored a far more straightforward, accurate view inside the ring than, say, the impressionistic poetry of Scorsese’s “Raging Bull.”

Instead, Fuqua and cinematographer Mauro Fiore have shot their fight scenes like broadcast television, copying its camera angles and piping in the commentary of announcers Jim Lampley and Roy Jones Jr. For better or worse, the fight scenes of “Southpaw” almost feel more like a pay-per-view stream than a movie.

Realism, though, is soon swapped for melodrama thicker than a heavy bag. As Hope and his wife exit a gala fundraiser, Escobar taunts him. Unable to resist, Hope reacts and a melee ensues that leaves Maureen dead from a stray bullet.

It’s a wrenching, chaotic scene (McAdams is on a good, grittier run of late) that’s followed by more tragedy.

As Hope spirals, his daughter is taken away from him and the money suddenly dries up. His promoter-manager (Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson) is little help as Hope wallows, adding the inevitable suffix of his second act: “less.”

Once rock bottom is sufficiently reached for maximum eventual payoff, Hope begins righting himself in that fountain of redemption: the rundown boxing gym. Who cannot be healed by its sweaty waters?

He turns to an unglamorous trainer named Tick Willis (the reliably excellent Forest Whitaker), who spouts all the wisdom of boxing and life that a corner man should. He teaches Billy precision and self-defense, turning him into a fighter in control of his emotions.

If the footwork of “Southpaw,” written by Kurt Sutter (“Sons of Anarchy”), is never light as a feather, its heart is seldom in doubt. The solid acting, led by Gyllenhaal and Whitaker, liven up the clichés, and Fuqua’s deep affection for the sport gives the movie a brisk, entertaining earnestness.

In bloody close-ups and bruising sounds, Fuqua captures the blinding brutality inside the ring. But his faith is never in question: This is a parable that believes strongest in boxing, itself.

Aces in t he hol e

A hole-in-one takes luck, but skill and strategy don’t hurt

By Jim Benton

FUN FACTS

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com

If Bill Loeffler could do it over again, he would have saved each of the golf balls he used to make a hole-in-one.

The 58-year-old Douglas County resident, who owns The Links Golf Course in Highlands Ranch, would have quite a collection: He’s made 14 aces.

But he didn’t keep any of the balls.

“I should have, but now it’s too late,” said Loeffler, Loeffler a member of the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame who played two years on the PGA tour.

“The first hole-in-one was at Cherry Hills Country Club. It was on No. 6, and I was 12 years old. I missed the ball. I almost topped it. It hardly got in the air, rolled all the way down and up the hill. They are all lucky, but that was probably the luckiest one.”

Even for players with resumes like Loeffler’s, it doesn’t hurt to be near a four-leaf clover when it comes to marking a “1” on a scorecard.

“A hole-in-one is a very lucky Part 3 of 3 on finding shot,” said Pat Tait, ways to get better head professional at and get more at Raccoon Creek enjoyment out of golf. in south Jefferson County. “There’s a lot of skill to where it starts out, but when that ball goes in the hole, it requires a lot of goodness. It’s quite a feat and a very exciting time for the person that gets it.”

How rare is an ace? One is recorded only once every 3,500 rounds, according to the National Hole-In-One Registry. The odds of a player doing it twice in a round? That would be 67 million to 1, the registry says.

But it’s not all chance. Playing a lot of golf

RAISING YOUR

GAME

• California and Texas see the most holes-in-one, accounting for 9 percent each of the aces made in the nation.

• Titleist balls account for 45 percent of all holes-inone. Nike is second at 15 percent.

• Two players, one from California and one from Michigan, have recorded at least one career ace right-handed and at least one left-handed.

At The Links Golf Course in Highlands Ranch, this is what you get for a hole-in-one. Photos by Jim Benton and being good at it are factors.

Jason Preeo, a MetaGolf instructor at Broken Tee and the boys golf coach at Valor Christian, said it takes a combination of skill and luck to get an ace. He’s made five of them, by the way.

“There’s the expression, ‘The better you are, the luckier you get,’” said Preeo, who has played in the U.S. Open. “For the most part, that is true. If you hit the ball close to the hole every fifth shot instead of every 10th shot, your odds for a hole-in-one go up.”

Club selection is one of the keys to improving the odds of collecting an ace, Loeffler said.

“The amateurs I play with in pro-ams, 95 percent of them are always short,” he said.

“I keep telling them to take a half-club more

or whatever. Just take more club to get there.

You can’t make a hole-in-one if you can’t get the ball to the hole. Most people don’t take enough club. Distance is the key.”

Players of all ages and abilities can attest to that.

Pat Allen, an 89-year-old, once-a-week player from Littleton, used an 8-iron to ace the 70-yard fifth hole on the par-3 course at Foothills Golf Course on June 15. She has been playing for 49 years.

“It was a lot of fun,” Allen said. “Before I croak, I hope to have another one. That was my first, and I intend to take it with me when I go.

“I hit the ball, and it was a pretty shot. It went across the small water that was there, and it landed on the green and went ‘plop.’

I realized it, but I wasn’t sure until I heard one of my fellow playmates say it went in the hole — and that’s when I went ‘Whoopie!’”

Walker Kurtz, 12, just started playing golf last summer, but he made a hole-in-one in June on the 143-yard first hole on South Suburban’s par-3 course in Centennial with a 9-iron.

“I was really surprised because I didn’t know what happened,” the Centennial resident said. “I needed a minute to take it all in. I was really excited.

“I didn’t realize at first what an accomplishment it was, but now that everyone has told me about it, it’s kind of gotten really cool. I guess it was beginner’s luck.”

Pedaling for a purpose Courage Classic ride brings hospital supporters together

By Taryn Walker

twalker@colorado communitymedia.com More than 200 south metro area residents were among the thousands of cyclists who rode 150 miles-plus over three days to raise money for patients of Children’s Hospital Colorado.

Nearly 2,000 riders pedaled the Courage Classic bike tour along Copper Mountain Resort Route, July 18-20, according to Monique McCoy, spokeswoman for Children’s.

The 26th annual ride raised more than $2.9 million for patients and families, as well as helped meet the $35 million mark for the event since the hospital first began. More than 400 volunteers and numerous sponsors stepped up to the plate to make the 2015 ride happen to also encourage awareness.

Centennial mother Denise Erwin rode in her 12th consecutive Courage Classic that weekend for her son Alex, who was diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma in 2012.

“Nobody wishes this would happen,” Erwin said. “As a parent, it is terrible to walk your child through a journey like that. Everyone always assumes that cancer only happens to everyone else.

People like me don’t want to feel silly running to the doctor for just anything, but in this case — it was life-saving.”

Her now 14-year-old son went through chemotherapy with Children’s for a year after a lump was detected under his arm. He is now in remission and will be starting high school this year, cancer-free,

She feels Children’s Colorado is an important place in the community and riding in the Courage Classic is her means to help out, she said.

“They (the hospital) have expertise that applies to children and their families, both in terms of dealing with children medically, but also helping children through the process,” she said. “Children feel cared for and special when they are there.”

As for the tour, it went well.

“It’s really a great ride. The mountains are so beautiful — it’s a ride that people do because they have somebody they care about or they just care about children in

general. Everyone is propelled by the mountains. I still feel so good about it. It might have been easier, if I trained a little more,” Erwin said.

The Ponzio Pedalers, a cycling team made up of people from all around Colorado, racked up thousands of miles before the Classic.

Team member Andy Tuthill was enthusiastic about the event.

“This is a tour, not a race,” he said. “I do a lot of events and I wouldn’t miss this one for anything. It’s just great to set competition aside and connect with a cycling community for a good cause.”

Chaparral’s Emily Moore has committed to play college softball at Austin Peay State University in Tennessee. Moore finished her junior season last year with a .500 batting average, 17 RBIs and 17 stolen bases.

Golf Mary Weinstein of Highlands Ranch recorded the best finish ever by a Coloradan in the girls 15-17 age division of the prestigious IMG Academy Junior World Golf Championships in San Diego.

A year after Jennifer Kupcho of Westminster placed 29th in the event, Weinstein finished in 15thplace at Torrey Pines North.

Weinstein shot a 1-over-par 73 in Friday’s final round, leaving her at 10-over-par 298 overall. Kupcho likewise posted a 298 total in the event when she placed 29th last year.

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JULY 27, 2015

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A bit of Arian contrariness could be keeping you from getting all the facts.

Turn it off, and tune in to what you need to hear. It could make all the difference this week.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Getting an answer to a vital question involving financial matters might take longer than you’d expected. A new factor might have to be dealt with before anything can move forward. Be patient.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Use your good sense to see what might really be driving a colleague’s workplace agenda. What you learn could lead to a new way of handling some old problems.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A change of mind might once again turn out to be a good thing. True, most of your co-workers might not like the delay, but as before, they might appreciate what follows from it.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You revel in golden opportunities this week. One cautionary note, though: Be careful to separate the gold from the glitter before you make a choice. Someone you trust can help.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Marriage is important this week, as are other partnerships. Don’t let yourself be overwhelmed by sentiment. Instead, try to steer a path between emotion and common sense.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Dealing with someone who has let you down is never easy. But the sooner you’re able to clear up this problem, the sooner other problems can be successfully handled.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A “friend” who is willing to bend the rules to gain an advantage for both of you is no friend. Reject the offer and stay on your usual straight and narrow path.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) After all the effort you’ve been putting in both on the job and for friends and family, it’s a good time to indulge your own needs. The weekend could bring a pleasant surprise.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might want to do something new this weekend. Close your eyes and imagine what it could be, and then do it, or come up with the closest practical alternative.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your good deeds bring you the appreciation you so well deserve.

But, once again, be careful of those who might want to exploit your generous nature for their own purposes.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Trolling for compliments isn’t necessary. You earned them, and you’ll get them. Concentrate this week on moving ahead into the next phase of your program.

At SkyView Academy, textbooks are hard to come by. You’re more likely to find a copy of “The Catcher in the Rye” or something by one of the great thinkers, like Plato or Socrates.

“There are textbooks, but we don’t use them,” said Richard Barrett, executive director of the charter school in Highlands Ranch.

“Spanish needs a textbook for guidance for what they’re learning. Some of your sciences could use a textbook. But a lot of it is experiential. It’s conversation. It’s hands on.

It’s dissection in science class.”

SkyView uses a classical curriculum, which focuses on grammar, logic and rhet-

oric —grammar being the elementary model, and logic and rhetoric being the middle school and high school model.

“The classical approach is read great books, original source documents, it’s the great thinkers Plato, Aristotle, Socrates,” Barrett said. “It’s the Socratic style of teaching in class. It’s not a direct instruction model. It’s very inclusive but there’s an opportunity for students to participate in the conversation at a high level.”

The elementary school students begin with grammar. Then, the logic comes in middle school when students will take the next step and go “oh, what does that mean.”

In high school, they debate. Students learn to think critically about a topic. “(The teaching style) is more questioning then regurgitating facts,” Barrett said.

SkyView sits in a building off C-470 on Business Center Drive. The building once was a Home Depot, which was renovated to accommodate the pre-K through 12-grade school.

The class of 2015 made history May 22 as SkyView’s first graduating high school class.

Barrett was brought in to replace Lisa Nolan, who stepped in as interim director after the school’s original executive director left about two years ago.

He moved to Colorado in 2001 after spending years as a teacher and working in KIPP charter schools in Texas. The Knowledge is Power Program is a nationwide network of free, public charter schools.

Barrett helped build the KIPP Sunshine Peak Academy in 2002, and in 2009 helped open the Denver Collegiate High School.

Following his time with KIPP, he worked on several turnaround projects in Denver’s inner city.

“Douglas County is very different from the inner city,” he said. “Parent involvement is a way different conversation down here than it is over in Denver.”

Barrett said coming to SkyView was an opportunity to build a K-12 public school that rivals the best private schools in the state.

SkyView, after all, is a public school. It’s not religiously affiliated and is free to attend.

“That’s the challenge we face, reminding people in this community that we are a public school,” Barrett said.

And even with its alternative methods, the school teaches Common Core curriculum.

“Our philosophy is that Common Core will be taught by the way we teach,” Barrett said. “The alignment is natural. It’s there.”

SkyView students also take all of the same standardized tests as the rest of the Douglas County School District schools.

About 1,350 students attend SkyView, spread between the K-12 programs.

Lorrie Grove is one of the school’s founding parents and the mother of two daughters attending SkyView.

Grove said the small-school atmosphere of the charter provides students with a unique learning experience that would be hard to find at most larger public schools.

“Every student is known,” Grove said.

“No one is going to get missed or overlooked at our school.”
