Debbie Hyer struggled to hold back the tears as she addressed the crowd July 19 at the 2014 Castle Rock Relay for Life.

Standing outside of the Douglas County Fairgrounds, Hyer along with a number of other survivors and supporters, spoke about how cancer had impacted her life. “(My mom) passed away almost four years ago of lung cancer, and she was one of the bravest, strongest women that I’ve ever known,” said Hyer, who is the co-chair for the Castle Rock edition of the relay. “Cancer touched our lives again last year when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I wouldn’t be here if wasn’t for my husband, my family, my friends. I’m just so happy to see everybody out here.”

Hyer invited someone special to her, Christina Mullen, a breast health navigator at Sky Ridge Medical Center, to give the keynote speech and kick off the relay.

“She held my hand throughout my entire

process from start to finish. She leads our support group once a month and I would have been lost without her,” Hyer said.

Mullen, who paused for a long hug with her friend before taking the microphone, spoke to the crowd about her experiences with the disease.

“Most of you who have received a cancer diagnosis will never forget the day that you were diagnosed,” Mullen said. “It’s a day filled with emotions. Emotions like denial, the doctors must have gotten it wrong. Fear, what am I going to tell my family and how am I going to pay for this? Anger, this can’t be happening to me. I don’t have time for this.

“In a new world of too many doctor’s appointments and too may procedures and bad phone calls and not enough good news, a breast health navigator is someone who understands you, that is there to listen and has the time to listen to you. My job is to educate people and make sure that they are empowered to make the right choices for them and their family.”

Mullen encouraged people to take advantage of the resources that are available to help Relay continues on Page 13

Members of the community will have an opportunity to voice their opinions and concerns over the proposed master-planned development known as The Promenade.

The project — a proposed commercial and residential development on the north end of Castle Rock between Interstate 25 and U.S. Highway 85 — is projected to span 200 acres and be home to 900,000 square feet of commercial space and 350 multi-family dwelling units. The proposed project would be the largest ever master-planned commercial development in Castle Rock history.

The Town of Castle Rock and Alberta Development Partners LLC are inviting the public to join them from 5 to 7 p.m.

July 31 at the Philip S. Miller Library, 100 S. Wilcox St. in Castle Rock. Alberta representatives will present ideas for the development to the community and gather input at that time.

Alberta estimates the total cost of the project to be $180 million. Of that, Castle Rock will contribute up to $24.48 million, or 13.6 percent of the total project, in shared sales-tax and development-fee reimbursements.

The project required a financial agreement among the Town of Castle Rock, Alberta and Castle Rock Metro District No. 1 to make it financially feasible. The agreement required two votes by the Castle Rock Town Council; councilmembers voted on Nov. 19, 2013 and Jan. 7, 2014 to approve the agreement.

As part of the agreement: • The town would share 27.5 percent of new sales tax revenues generated from the property for up to 25 years; and would fund up to $4.45 million in development fee reimbursements, plus an additional $750,000 fee reimbursement tied to achieving 700,000 square feet in commercial development.

• The metro district property intends to issue and repay $28.8 million in net bond proceeds for qualifying public Promenade continues on Page 13

Outgoing rodeo queen gains confidence Orlova shares memory of one special event

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Maria Orlova has been to quite a few fairs since being named Douglas County Rodeo Queen last year, but one left a particularly lasting impression on her.

Memories of big-hearted man loom large

The massive oak bends over a small gray home on the corner of a quiet Long Island street, its strong, leafy branches casting cool shade over friends and family gathering in the yard.

Small American flags line the sidewalk, and a larger one hangs by the front door. Above the garage is a fading banner that proclaims Old Glory, USA, Liberty.

Nancy Nyhuis greets her guests warmly, with a quick, welcoming smile that also imparts a sense, a shadow, of sadness behind it.

A white limo party bus pulls up to the house and the group of 24 piles in, chattering, laughing, squeezing next to each other on long seats illuminated by a string of blue lights.

Nancy stands in front of the group, a glass of wine in her hand.

“First of all,” she says, “thanks, everyone, for being here. I have a picture of John in the back ...” She pauses as tears fill her eyes. “This has been a bad day for me because it’s so final. But I’m glad you’re all here.”

Someone pops in a CD of her husband’s favorite music and the lyrics of a lilting country song that tells of a simple man loving his “helluva life” fills the bus.

Everyone cheers and holds drinks high in a toast. The driver shifts the bus into gear toward the first of four stops.

And, on this warm June day, almost four months after his death, John Devlin’s final wish unfolds.

“It’s what he wanted,” his sister, Jennifer Zarcensky, says. “To have a party.”

That’s the kind of man John was — brash, rowdy, opinionated, funny, full of passion for life and those he loved.

He liked a party. He also was the kind of man who showed up at Ground Zero the day after the heartrending devastation and who stayed there for 9½ months, seven days a week, 12 hours a day, operating the heavy machinery that removed the rubble that contained, not only the concrete of the towers, but also the remains of those who had worked in them.

He loved his country.

In the end, patriotism killed John.

In 2009, he was diagnosed with Stage IV inoperable throat cancer, most likely, doctors said, a result of breathing the toxic dust that permeated the site. The cancer is often associated with longtime

chain smokers, but John never smoked.

After a grueling regimen of surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy treatments that left him in constant pain and unable to eat solid food, John — a once-brawny 270 pounds with a scraggly mustache and goatee — shrank from an XXL- to an M-sized T-shirt and died March 11. He was 53.

Until his death, and with others from police and fire organizations, he fought loud and hard for the federal government to recognize and be accountable to the many first responders, including the heavy machine operators like him, who were becoming ill and dying because of their work at Ground Zero.

And yet, knowing the outcome, he had no regrets.

“John and I went there together,” friend Kevin Cullimore, also a heavy machine operator, says. “It was just a calling, as an American.”

A traditional Mass was held for John soon after his death. But John wanted to go out on sounds of laughter. So he planned this celebration. Those who have come represent markers of John’s existence, a timeline of people that dates back to childhood and spreads through every trail of his life. They include me and my husband, whose sister-in-law is Jennifer.

The bus pulls into a nearly empty parking lot at Gilgo Beach, a tranquil stretch of white sand and low dunes on Long Island’s south shore where John played as a child, where he later brought his two children, where he would whip out his harmonica and join the bands playing there on weekends.

His son, Matt, 19, tall, blond, steps down from the bus. On the right side of his chest, under his arm, is a tattoo of a Native American woman wearing an eagle headdress, the image of the medallion his dad always wore.

In May, two months after his death, John Devlin’s name was one of 93 new ones added to the growing list on the memorial black granite wall at 9/11 Responders Remembered Park on Long Island.

More than 300 names have been inscribed at the park in Nesconset, which honors those who have died from 9/11-related illnesses. They include firefighters, police officers and civilians, from a forensic dentist to an FBI mortuary director to construction workers such as John, an operating engineer who manned front-end loaders, bulldozers and other heavy machinery that helped clear the wreckage of Ground Zero.

After two weeks at Ground Zero, John and his companions began having trouble breathing and coughing up phlegm, according to a 2011 Newsday article in which he described the atmosphere as “a martini of toxic chemicals.”

John, who died of throat cancer that doctors say most likely resulted from breathing the toxic dust, became a vocal advocate for passage of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act. The law provides testing and treatment for people who worked in response and recovery operations at the World Trade Center site.

The original bill, introduced in 2010, did not pass. When a Republican filibuster in the Senate stalled a second version in December of that year, comedian Jon Stewart of “The Daily Show” interviewed four first

Matt likes the idea of this traveling wake.

“When Dad found out he had cancer, he threw a pre-chemo party.” His dad, Matt says, defined optimism. “He said as long as you stay happy and positive, good things will come your way. It might take a while, but it will come.”

responders from police, fire, transportation and heavy equipment sectors.

Among them was John, who with the others shared experiences and outrage at the lack of federal support. All four were suffering from either cancer or heart and lung diseases.

The bill passed later that month and Stewart’s show was credited by White House officials and media and political organizations for helping spur that approval.

The act, signed by President Obama on Jan. 2, 2011, provides medical treatment for health conditions that research suggested occurred because of exposure to World Trade Center dust and air. It covered such conditions as chronic coughs and other respiratory ailments, digestive disorders, and mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress and depression.

But it did not include cancers, because the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health said there wasn’t enough scientific evidence to determine a link.

In September 2012, the act was amended to include 50 types of cancers, including respiratory, digestive, skin, blood — and throat cancers.

John became well-known throughout the area for his advocacy and was often interviewed over the years by local news outlets.

“It was an honor to work through Christmas on that 9/11,” John Devlin said to Stewart on his show, “to give closure to those people that were on the other side of that gate every morning, showing us pictures of their loved ones. I don’t think there’s anything better than to go out there and help other people.”

Schools’ turnover up, but on pace with state District officials say staff changes `on track’ with recent years

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Teacher and overall staff turnover in the Douglas County School District rose from 2012-13 to 2013-14, putting it at a level similar to the state as a whole.

DCSD teacher turnover is up about 4 percentage points, from 13.26 percent in 201213 to 17.28 percent in 2013-14, according to the Colorado Department of Education. Total staff turnover — which includes principals, administrators, office support, paraprofessionals, trade and other employees — increased about 2.4 percentage points, from 17.66 to 20.05.

In 2013-14, average teacher turnover in Colorado was 16.65 percent, and total staff turnover was 20.37 percent.

Critics in recent years have said DCSD’s education reforms have prompted many teachers to leave. But school district leaders say the turnover is not alarming.

“Turnover in DCSD across all employee groups remains on track with recent years,” DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans said in an emailed statement. “For the 2013-14 school year, DCSD is once again below the state average, with 20.05 percent in total turnover.

Neighboring school districts are as high as 32 percent in turnover for the most recent school year.”

Denver Public Schools, which also has been in the process of implementing education reform, recorded total turnover of 31.61 percent.

DCSD’s total staff turnover rate in 2013-14 was higher than the neighboring, suburban Cherry Creek (17.26 percent), Jeffco (14.76 percent) and Littleton (13.64 percent) districts. The same was true for teacher turnover.

The Douglas County district’s best teachers are, for the most part, staying. Under the district’s rating system, 21 percent of teachers

“What they’re doing in Douglas County is not working, despite their slogan.”

CDE’s turnover calculations are different from DCSD’s, the district says. For instance, an in-district promotion or transfer is viewed

by CDE as turnover, the email said. In the teacher category alone, Hans said, that decreases turnover from 17.28 percent to 14.63 percent.

But that would apply to and potentially change all CDE turnover statistics, not just in Douglas County. The department of education confirmed its statewide turnover report does not account for promotions or transfers, but compares staff identification numbers and the job classification from year to year.

In recent months, DCSD has seen turnover in upper-administration positions. Former assistant superintendent of secondary education Dan McMinimee and system performance officer Syna Morgan accepted positions with Jeffco Public Schools. McMinimee is the district’s new superintendent and Morgan its chief academic officer.

are considered highly effective; 5 percent of those teachers recently left DCSD, according to the district. Most of the teachers — 70 percent — are rated effective; of those, 7 percent left the district. Of the 1 percent rated ineffective, 88 percent left.

“DCSD is in the midst of a rigorous transformation of American education,” the email from Hans said. “Professional educators are redesigning, and in some cases completely reinventing our outcomes, assessments, teaching strategies and evaluations. As part of this process, we are raising expectations and turnover is to be expected.”

Looking back in five-year increments, CDE statistics show a rise in DCSD’s turnover rate. Teacher turnover was at 10.16 percent in 2008-09, and 12.5 percent in 2003-04. Total staff turnover in those years was 15.35 percent in 2008-09 and 16.6 percent in 2003-04.

“To see the turnover rate for administrators and teachers compared to years past for Douglas County shows how unhappy people are,” said Courtney Smith, president of the Douglas County Federation of Teachers.

Department of ed rules in favor of school district Pay-for-performance program found to be in compliance Staff report After a several-week review of the Douglas County School District’s teacher-evaluation system, the Colorado Department of Education has found the district to be in compliance with the law.

The review came at the request of the Douglas County Federation of Teachers, which in May alleged that DCSD’s new system, based on pay for performance, was “invalid and unreliable.”

CDE commissioner of education Robert Hammond stated in a news release that the evaluation tool — known as CITE (Continuous Improvement of Teacher Effectiveness) — is “in compliance with the law and (we) do not have any findings that require further action on part of the district.”

Douglas County School Board President

Kevin Larsen said he appreciated the “thorough and objective review by CDE.” “CITE is a great evaluation tool developed by our teachers, for our teachers,” he said in a news release. “Pay for performance is crucial to ensuring that we recognize, reward and keep our best teachers.”

Larsen added that 91 percent of the district’s teachers were rated “effective” or “highly effective.”

Teacher and principal evaluations now are required in all Colorado school districts under Senate Bill 191, passed in 2010.

Districts were allowed to adopt either the state’s teacher evaluation program, or create their own. DCSD designed and introduced its own in 2012.

The evaluations are part of DCSD’s payfor-performance program. Based on selfevaluations, meetings with administratorlevel evaluators and other factors, each teacher was assigned a rating ranging from “highly effective” to “ineffective.” Pay increases are tied to those ratings, and also to

tool.”

The DCF is conferring with its legal team about possible next steps.

“The impact is drastic to the careers of teachers in Douglas County,” Smith said.

The department of education did recommend in its findings that the district improve its communication with educators through clearly stating its procedural policy tied to the evaluations and evaluation appeals on the DCSD website.

“The instrument (CITE) is in a continual refinement and improvement process involving staff members,” a statement from the district reads. “CITE features multiple checks and balances — including second look, appeal, level one review and level two review.”

a new market-based pay scale.

Teachers’ union president Courtney Smith said at the time of the review request that DCSD failed to properly define the outcomes teachers needed to reach to secure peak ratings under the system, and hasn’t changed the evaluations despite numerous complaints during the rollout year.

Smith was surprised by the state’s decision, describing it as “a blow” to DCSD’s teachers.

“I was truly shocked they didn’t at least go further in the process, especially after seeing an expert opinion showing the teacher evaluation system in Douglas County is neither valid or reliable,” she said, referring to a report from teacher evaluation consultants Teaching Learning Solutions. “Yet they’re basing compensation for that many employees on an invalid

American Academy expands arts programs

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s not often that a STEM-focused school can claim a thriving performing arts program.

American Academy’s two Douglas County campuses are perhaps showing the way to the future with the expansion of their visual and performing arts repertoire during the 2014-15 school year. It has come at the urging of the kids, many of whom are seeking a rewarding yet challenging outlet to their class schedule.

Arts classes are not part of the curriculum — American Academy is a Core Knowledge institution — but are offered before and after school hours so as not to hinder class schedules. Aside from a music class, the charter school didn’t have much in the way of performing arts in the early 2000s, and students with an interest in theater, for example, have been referred to third-party programming.

Everything changed when lead music teacher Mark Middlebrooks suggested adding a theater element. Being in an environment steeped in STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — Middlebrooks was unsure whether creative expression would be embraced.

Seventy-five students from the Castle

Pines campus jumped at the chance, with each and every one getting a role in the “Music Man.” The theater component resonated with the students and has grown by leaps and bounds. Last year, a production of “Peter Pan” brought 200 children to the auditions.

Band and orchestra programs have been added to the mix and done similarly well.

“Over a period of time, the popularity of the programs has become evident, and to meet that demand, we’ve expanded our programs considerably,” Middlebrooks said.

During the upcoming school year, the PreK-8 school is taking it to the next level with the addition of dance, theater tech and film classes. The school recently added a fourth instructor for arts programming to bolster expertise in music and dance.

The film class will be a hybrid of film production and acting, and pupils will learn how to write a screenplay, operate green-screen technology and find the best camera angles. They will also be taught techniques for acting on stage and in front of the camera, and how to cast, direct and produce their own film. Theater tech will focus on stage management, lights, sound and set design.

American Academy has always strived to “create an environment in which the students want to excel” in the classroom, and that same line of thinking is being carried into the expanded arts programs, Middlebrooks says.

“It’s fairly professional,” he said. “It’s not your typical elementary school theater program.”

Middlebrooks solicited student feedback last year and created tracks that can be tailored to a student’s individual talents and interests. A student can choose to focus on dance or film or music, or elect a general track that exposes them to all different disciplines.

Much like a real performing arts school, there are sequential requirements for more serious performing arts participants in grades 6-8 to earn certifications. Kids in grades 1-4 can sign up for movement classes to “get used to what dance feels like” or join vocal or dance ensembles without the thresholds or requirements of higher grades, Middlebrooks said. The elevation of arts programs has been a natural progression spurred by the kids.

“There’s a higher demand for opportunities for creative expression, and we’re just trying to meet that,” he said.

Although the idea of incorporating such classes into the normal curriculum is typically met with disdain, American Academy’s blossoming program is making a case for the inclusion of a larger standardized element.

“This program we’re starting this year, if it’s as successful as we think it will be, we certainly will have the leverage to make those suggestions,” he said.

Resource fair provides tools to thrive July 28 event set for PACE Center

COWBOYS AREN’T THE ONLY ONES who ride at this rodeo.

AUGUST 7 - 10, 2014 DOUGLASCOUNTYFAIRANDRODEO.COM

A Douglas County agency hopes it can provide compassionate care for residents who have fallen on hard times — without the stigma attached.

At the Strive to Thrive Resource and Service Fair July 28 at Parker’s PACE Center, locals who are in need will have the chance to eat a free meal and learn how to take advantage of food and clothing assistance and get school supplies.

“If you need help, or are struggling, sometimes it can be hard to walk into an agency or call up and find the right person to help you,” Douglas County community care navigator Rand Clark said.

“It can be embarrassing. This event is set up like a fair. You can walk in and find the organization that you need and someone will be there to answer your questions.

“And it’s not just information; you can walk away with your hands full.”

According to Clark, the county aims to hold the event twice a year — once in January and again in late July or early Au-

gust to help families before school starts.

Parents of children in need will be able to register on site for school supplies, discounted or free school meals and free transit cards.

“It’s a great first step for parents who are struggling with how they’re going to have their kids ready for the school year,” Clark said. “The people who you need to talk to will be there.”

Clark said the events — during which more than 20 local agencies are on hand — have drawn between 150-175 people each time. The fair is designed for Douglas County residents but is open to anyone who is in need.

“We want to give our people the opportunity to thrive regardless of their circumstance,” Clark said. “It’s a relaxed and comfortable environment. It’s not intimidating. If you need help, come by.

You can walk in, get the information that you need, and walk out. No one will know why you’re there. We just want to get the word out and encourage people to take advantage of these resources.”

The free event runs from 4-6 p.m. July 28 at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave. in Parker. No appointment or registration is required. This is the fifth time that the county has hosted the resource fair.

Making the right chamber choice Businesses have their pick from groups big and small

By Amy Woodward and Chris Rotar Staff writers

For many business owners, it is a difficult task to identify which, if any, chamber of commerce is best suited to fulfill their companies’ needs.

Options abound, with Colorado being home to more than 130 chambers.

Some of those are specifically designed for certain demographics, like the Southern Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce, the Rocky Mountain Indian Chamber of Commerce and the Colorado Black Chamber of Commerce.

Other chambers — the ones in Castle Rock and Golden, for example — are identified with a distinct geography. At the same time, regional organizations, like the Denver Metro, North Metro, South Metro and West chambers, boast members from wide geographical areas.

Even given those options, small businesses often find the best bet is joining an alternative group, perhaps a merchants association that caters to a relatively small swath of territory.

Amid a hypercompetitive business climate and myriad changes to their own landscape, metro area chambers must prove to companies and municipalities they are deserving of their membership.

Some believe there may be too many chambers competing with each other — which can result in businesses taking on multiple chamber affiliations and the accompanying expense. But, critics say, it could also cause chambers to lose focus on their priorities, something that could result in unintended consequences.

Room for everybody?

Before taking the position of CEO/ president at the Golden Chamber of Commerce, Dawn Smith was the executive director for the Conifer Chamber of Commerce for three years.

Golden’s landmark north and south Table Mountains offer seclusion and give the city character unlike other Denver suburbs, Smith said.

“We are not typical, and I think that is an interesting way to look at the chamber as well,” she said.

The chamber is housed at the Golden Visitor’s Center, which receives 260 visitors a day, Smith reported, totaling approximately 34,000 visitors a year on average.

“That’s huge,” Smith said.

It’s also a bonus for her, in which her job is to promote and market local businesses and nonprofits daily. The benefit for businesses to join the Golden chamber is the exposure they will get from the extra visibility from all the guests who stop in, she said.

Smaller chambers like Golden that have a wellestablished mission continue to be successful — it’s when chambers begin to take on too many initiatives that service overlap develops and competition Willms inadvertently ignites between local chambers and regional chambers. That’s the view of Brian Willms, former CEO/

“We can’t imagine spending our best years anywhere but home.”

president of the West Chamber of Commerce in Jefferson County.

“What I see chambers do is, they try to do everything and anything, they try to be all to everybody — but they need to stay in their lane,” Willms said. “Each organization individually, and then the organizations collectively, should be taking a look at what their priority mission is and who they are trying to service and then really determine collectively if there is duplicity taking place.”

For Willms, collaboration between chambers is key in order for them to continue to thrive in the years ahead.

Losing focus and allowing overlap could ultimately be their downfall as they end up creating a watered-down service that benefits no one.

“Are there going to be chambers somewhere that don’t survive? Sure. It’s just like any other industry or business,” said Pam Ridler, president of the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce. “If you’re not listening and changing and making things happen, then you’re not going to make it.”

The newly spawned Westminster Chamber of Commerce, which was formed in December of last year, decided to split from their regional organization, the North Metro Chamber of Commerce.

Local businesses were not being wellpromoted by organizations like the Jefferson County Economic Development Corp., said Jennifer Shannon, CEO/president of the Westminster Chamber.

“The problem with a large chamber like Metro North is that they just don’t have the ability to promote the individual cities. It’s kind of not really their focus,” Shannon said.

But what they do is valuable because their large size allows them to do advocacy work and lobby, things smaller chambers like Westminster don’t have the resources to take on by themselves, Shannon said.

“I don’t know that one is necessarily better than the other,” she said. “I think we just fill different niches.”

locate within its borders.

Michael Penny, Littleton’s city manager, said there is room for both.

“I do not believe (the city’s department) diminishes the role of the chamber,” Penny said. “The (South Metro Chamber), due to their scope and area they cover, tends to focus on larger regional issues.”

Likewise, Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon believes her city’s economic development department is not a replacement for the two chambers (South Metro and Aurora) the city belongs to.

“The relationship between the city and chambers is complementary, not competitive,” she said. “We try not to overlap and duplicate resources.”

There are alternatives to chambers for smaller businesses in many communities.

In Penny’s city, for example, the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association supports and promotes a number of small businesses on Main Street.

Merchants associations can play a pivotal role in the development of a business community, particularly groups whose focus is on the development of a downtown.

Associations working with local chambers can allow for that chamber to branch out its efforts beyond Main Street, said the Golden Chamber’s Smith.

The Downtown Merchants Association in Golden functions as a committee of the chamber, although a person doesn’t have to be a chamber member to have a place on the DMA. When members from the DMA decided they need-

ed to bring more people to downtown Golden, they came up with a First Friday Street Fair, which is run by the Golden Chamber.

“We’re definitely on the same team,” Smith said. “They’re part of us… an extension of us.”

Again, ensuring that local and regional chambers and merchant associations are not stepping on each other’s toes is critical, Willms said, adding that in Jeffco, it is common for chambers and economic development organizations to overlap their services.

“Although there might be collaboration going on, and I do think it’s going on very well in Jeffco, I don’t think everybody is feeling secure enough to stay in their own lanes and say I am going to define my niche,” Willms said. “I still think there’s a fear of `I’m going to lose my business.’ ” The business of chambers of commerce might be a changing industry, Willms said, but the organizations still offer significant value that continues to attract membership. That said, there is room for improvement when it comes to prioritization, he believes.

“Sometimes that means you’ve got to be willing to give something up, and I really think that becomes a challenge a lot of times,” he said. “I really believe if you have a true agreement with the different organizations, truly collaborating, I think that they will be stronger in the long run.”

Changes at Chatfield will be significant Effects of project still being debated

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The recent approval of the Chatfield Reservoir Reallocation Project potentially means a partial solution to the state’s water woes, but it definitely means some changes at the state park surrounding the dam.

According to a statement from the Army Corps of Engineers — which operates the dam — reallocating storage from a flood-control pool into a joint conservation/flood control pool will raise the water level by 12 feet.

Because water will cover more of the park, there will be “significant modifications to relocate and replace existing recreation facilities, resources and project roads with new facilities and roads,” reads the statement.

“Chatfield State Park, one of the premier parks in the state of Colorado, will offer users many new facilities and continue to provide high-quality recreation activity opportunities to devoted park enthusiasts with this reallocation project,” said Gwyn Jarrett, project manager, in a statement.

But some, including state Democrats and the local chapter of the Audubon Society, worry that the project could irrevocably damage the park’s ecosystems.

“The Chatfield Enlargement Project as proposed is a poor use of tax dollars, as it will extensively damage all public and environmental resources of Chatfield State Park, inundating river and for-

est that is habitat for 375 species of birds and other natural creatures, while other less damaging alternatives are available to project sponsors,” reads a resolution passed on April 12 by the Colorado Democratic Party.

Polly Reetz, conservation chair for the Audubon Society of Greater Denver, says of the four options the Army Corps considered, the one they chose is the worst.

“It’s a bad deal for the public to mangle a state park for very little water,” she said.

The statewide Water Supply Initiative estimates Colorado will need between 600,000 and 1 million acre-feet annually of additional water by the year 2050. The Corps of Engineers expects this project to add 8,539 acre-feet of water a year for municipal and industrial use at less cost than other water supply alternatives.

“The proposed reallocation project alternative is technically sound, environmentally acceptable and economically justified,” wrote Jo-Ellen Darcy, the assistant secretary of the Army for civil works, in her decision.

The Corps of Engineers acknowledges there could be adverse effects on recreation and the environment that will be “mitigated to the most sustainable alternative to below a level of significance.”

Jarrett said design will begin almost immediately, and the noticeable work will begin in two to three years.

The final report concluded that this is the least costly option and has the most local support. It says the $183 million project will provide $8.42 million annually in economic benefits.

The Democrats’ resolution asked that no state money be used to “subsidize water interests that participate in and sup-

still a level of concern that implementing a reallocation could lead to a somewhat different condition for which environmental mitigation or recreational facility modification has not been designed appropriately,” reads the study.

Reetz struggles to understand why other options weren’t considered, such as storing water in already available gravel pits or the existing underground aquifers. She said Audubon is looking at options to determine if there is still a way to stop the project.

“This is a trend in Western water projects,” she said. “They promise anything to build it, then they say `Oh my God, we ran out of money,’ or the political will changes, and the people of the United States end up on the short end of it.”

port this ill-conceived, extremely damaging” and speculative project.

But a bill passed by the Colorado Legislature last session authorized the Colorado Water Conservation Board to allocate nearly $88 million of its annual budget for loans to six Chatfield water providers so they can purchase storage space in the Chatfield reallocation project.

Communities downstream from the dam have expressed concern that the changes will negatively impact the South Platte River as it runs through them, and the Army Corps acknowledges those flows are a key uncertainty.

“While mitigation and modification plans have been developed … in coordination with resource agencies, there is

Thanks, officer: It’s best to slow down So 2,000 miles, 28 hours of driving time, more than 200 songs, a couple of bags of Big League Chew bubble gum, a bag of sunflower seeds, several waters, a few milkshakes and fast food burgers, and at least 12 cups of coffee later, we arrived back in Colorado after our vacation on the East Coast. The trip home was filled with productive calls with customers and family and friends, and — even more productive and inspiring — with some quiet time and reflection as I drove across the countryside.

I especially enjoyed the 20 minutes or so of quiet time as I waited for the Pennsylvania State Trooper to write my ticket for prolonged driving time in the left lane. I was professionally reminded that the left lane is only for passing, and politely reminded that I could have also received a ticket for being a little

more than slightly above the speed limit.

At first I was a little annoyed that I was pulled over for something as petty as driving for too long in the left lane. You may know how it feels when you have handed over your driver’s license, insurance, and registration to the policeman standing at your passengerside window, and then he does the slow walk

It’s a dog’s life . . . and that’s a good thing A Houston family adopted a black Labrador three years ago, knowing he had terminal cancer. The Roberts family gave Duke the best three years a dog could have.

And they made his final day a dog’s dream.

There were lots of hamburgers, a trip to the park and a photographer.

I couldn’t do what the family did, the photographer part.

Before Smitty, there was a girl named Badger. She depended upon me. That had never happened before. I didn’t know that it was going to be so much work — or that it was going to be so great.

I was a rat. I had an affair, Michelle found out, and moved out while I was at work. I came home in a snowstorm to a dark house. I opened the door and saw two shiny eyes looking up at me.

Michelle couldn’t have a dog in her new place, so Badger was all mine for the next 14 years.

We made two road trips to Michigan, visited Durango together, La Veta, Centennial, Wyo., and while the studio was under construction, we drove away on the noisiest days and went all over the place.

We were an inseparable team, just like Smitty and me.

I hung artwork at her eye level, which wasn’t very high. She was a small standard red dachshund.

A dog will get into your heart like nothing else. I am made up of two-thirds humbug, but my dachshunds found the other third and wouldn’t let go.

Duke was on three legs and ran around like he had five.

The Robertses knew that the time had come to say good-bye, so they chose a day and asked family friend Robyn Arouty, a photographer who specializes in animal

portraits, to document Duke’s final day.

Could you do that?

I have a beautiful little 8-by-8 Shutterfly book of Smitty, and I know someday I will be very happy to have it. I also know that I will disintegrate for a few moments every time I open it.

The Robertses did something else I couldn’t do. They wrote a beautiful reminiscence in the voice of Duke calling it “I Died Today.”

Good God. All of this made its way to the Internet and it turned into a forum for others to share their stories, just like I am doing right now.

My little friend is on the floor next to me.

We rise and shine — in the dark. It’s 5 a.m., we’ve both had a walk, a bathroom and a breakfast.

I have told Smitty’s story before. I am his third owner. I almost lost him when his back went out. He had emergency surgery that same day. I would avoid ASPCA Pet Insurance if I were you.

His recovery took over a month. No walks, no stairs. We camped in the living room. I read. He slept and wobbled to his water dish.

Marshall continues on Page 9

back to his car where he spends the next 15 minutes checking you out and then writing the summons.

But as I thought about it, I moved from feeling bad because I was caught or pulled over for something so minor, to feeling appreciative for being stopped by one of Pennsylvania’s finest. Why was I in such a rush?

The drive home was intended to be relaxed, make a few calls along the way, reflect on the time at the beach, and see a few sights along the way. I mean really, where was I going?

In the “Jerry McGuire” movie, we see an exchange between Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. where Tom Cruise’s character is forced to play along and scream, “Show me Norton continues on Page 9

LETTER TO THE EDITOR School building needs deserve attention

It is quite obvious that our aging schools need work. It is no different than homeowners needing to do repairs to their homes such as replacing a water heater, a furnace or air conditioner, etc. to maintain certain standards.

A good presentation was made June 17 to the Douglas County School Board on what school facilities were facing on needed repairs and how to fund those needs.

Some board members stated that asking voters for money now was not the best time.

It was said that the economy had not recovered sufficiently and many taxpayers are still struggling. I agree.

However as a member of the school district’s fiscal oversight committee, I received information months ago stating that due to current bonds expiring, we would be able to float additional bonds without having any increase in property tax if we did so in 2014 or 2015. Waiting any longer will cause the tax burden to decrease, lowering property taxes, and seeking a vote after 2015 that would cause voting for new taxes.

I believe if we wait and take this issue to the ballot it will fail because the culture this board has created in the community would cause voters would vote against it. Even though a slim margin has kept this board in control, many parents, staff and non-parent taxpayers are not supportive of the board’s direction.

Prior to making the right decision of fixing our schools, major efforts need to be taken by both sides to heal wounds that have been created. We need to begin listening to each other and come to a consensus on what is the best avenue to educate our youth.

Don’t let an opportunity to fix our schools without raising taxes pass us by due to the inability of adults not being able to resolve their differences. We ask our kids to find ways to resolve conflicts with siblings or peers at home or at school, why can’t the community be good role models for this behavior?

Sprawling estate going up for auction Serenity Ridge sits on 70 acres near Douglas-Elbert county line

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com A glimmering pearl tucked in the unspoiled expanses southeast of Parker is suddenly getting a lot of attention.

At the beginning of July, most Douglas County residents had never heard of Serenity Ridge, a sprawling estate on 70 pristine acres near Flintwood and Democrat roads.

That quickly changed when Carl and Christine Battista, a husband and wife real estate team for Keller Williams DTC Luxury International, began to spread the word that the property would become the largest private U.S. residence to go up at a no-reserve auction Sept. 27.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to buy at their price,” Christine Battista said. “The owner doesn’t have any set price and there are no hidden costs.”

The three-story home and surrounding land was put on the market in 2007 with a price tag of $22 million, but didn’t attract serious attention from buyers because of the housing crisis. It was put up for sale again July 1 for $18.37 million.

With the disclaimer that the “property is available for and subject to sale prior to auction,” the tantalizing announcement of the no-reserve auction promptly attracted the notice of news agencies and bloggers.

The Battistas, along with Joshua & Co., an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, and Supreme Auctions, have honored countless requests for more information in the hopes of finding the ideal buyer. Christine Battista led Colorado Community Media on an exclusive tour of Serenity Ridge July 14.

`The whole nine yards’ The estate contains the wonderments for

LEFT: Serenity Ridge, a 43,000 square-foot estate owned by the grandson of the man who created Dollar General, is on the market for $18.37 million. If it does not sell by Sept. 27, it will be put up at a no-reserve auction. ABOVE: An ornate rotunda greets visitors who come in through the main entrance. Photos by Chris Michlewicz which one might hope: hidden rooms, silk carpeting, a bowling alley, a pair of full-time caretakers, and private tunnels to posh, selfcontained guest quarters.

Those invited to enter the grounds must pass through a massive security gate, after which they are greeted with the sight of fishing ponds, a meditation house and, of course, the 47,114 square-foot home with peninsular wings. The sheer breadth of the abode is difficult to comprehend, and difficult to view in its entirety.

Interior elements are lavish, but not overdone; many of the rooms are tastefully ornate and pleasantly comfortable.

“It was built to feel really small and inti-

mate in all of the rooms and not feel large and cavernous,” Christine Battista said.

Unlike most mansions of its size, Serenity Ridge was not specifically built to reflect oneperson’s tastes. The décor and furnishings, which come with the house, abide by neutral palettes, she said.

Perhaps the most alluring component is the panoramic views of the Front Range from just about every window on the west side.

The house sits neatly atop a hill near Douglas County’s boundary with Elbert County.

For a place that is among the largest in Colorado and has “the whole nine yards,” it surprisingly wasn’t even on the radar of Denver area real estate agents who deal in luxury properties, Christine Battista said.

The owner is retiring and downsizing property holdings — factors that prompted the auction — but his family has a deep connection to Serenity Ridge, and parting with it is an emotional experience.

Originally built in 2001 by then-Hewlett Packard executive John Costanza as a combined residence and corporate retreat, Serenity Ridge boasts two boardrooms. Costan-

ABOUT SERENITY RIDGE Features of Serenity Ridge: 24 bathrooms, 11 bedrooms, five full kitchens, bowling alley, indoor swimming pool, fishing ponds (two), movie theatre, 9,300 square-feet of outdoor covered living space, conference rooms (two), meditation house, garage space for 30 vehicles, elevators (two), silk carpets, secret doors, performance stage, safe room, ice cream parlor, temperature-controlled wine cellar, permission for equestrian uses and waterfalls.

za, however, never lived in the home and sold it nearly one year later.

Battista was not permitted to disclose the seller’s identity, but property records show the estate belongs to Cal Turner III, who headed Dollar General Corp., a company founded by his father and grandfather, before stepping down in 2003.

the money!” And as I drove back onto the highway after the nice police officer sent me on my way, all I could think of was, “Show me the speed limit sign.” And really not in a bad way at all — I wanted to slow my journey down so I could enjoy our time together in the car and take in all the sights and sounds of this beautiful country.

I wanted to keep pace and not crawl along, but I wanted to drive slowly enough to catch the corny and sometimes incredibly funny billboards that adorn our highways.

There were a few classics, including one with an image of Yoko Ono and the caption read, “Would you trust your energy decisions to a woman who broke up the Beatles?” Not

Marshall Continued from Page 8

We enable each other. I was supposed to go to Europe on an art tour that was all paid for. I had my bags packed and a pet sitter lined up. I was going to be gone more than a week.

I had breakfast and looked over at Smitty and said (something like), “Oh, crap, I can’t do this.”

I know, I know. I chose a dachshund over

sure what advocacy group or competing energy company placed the ad, it was just very clever and it had me looking for more signs amongst the incredible rolling hills and farmland. And some of my favorite signs were the stark signs with a biblical verse or faith-based message. Nothing over the top, but incredibly powerful and inspiring, maybe just what I needed as I slowed the drive down just enough to take it all in.

Are you constantly in the fast lane of life?

Do you need to be shown the speed limit signs in your own journey? Either way, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we slow down to look for signs and inspiration, it really will be a better than good week.

around for her stepson. “Where’s Matt?”

Matt moves toward Nancy, who is tightly holding the framed picture of John to her chest. They put an arm around each other.

Eddie Jr. turns his surfboard toward shore. Like a trail of dust in the soft breeze, John’s ashes scatter into the air and drift down into the water.

Matt and Nancy hug. Tears well throughout the group.

“I saw him healthy, going down,” says his sister, Jennifer, older by three years. “He really fought it. He really put up a fight ...”

Back on the bus, the 1970s Southern rock tunes “Ramblin’ Man” and “Ghost Riders in the Sky” generate an enthusiastic sing-along.

Second stop: Sea Breeze, a quaint bar near the Babylon town pier that in the early 1900s was the hangout of local clammers. It’s small, with a wooden ceiling, a pool table, a dartboard and a line of stools at the long, acrylic-topped counter on which Nancy places John’s picture. The bartender sets down a shot glass of Jack Daniel’s in front of it.

“He was my best man,” says Tim Cunningham, John’s friend since they were 5 years old. “We’ve been through thick and thin together.”

And “I love remembering him,” he says. “When

he walked into a room, he had such a commanding presence. He controlled any party. He was always so funny and he always had a good joke to tell. Even if he insulted you in some way — and he did — he had a way to make it better.”

About 45 minutes later, the group climbs back on the bus.

Third stop: Mustang Sally’s, a long, narrow dive in a nondescript shopping strip in Bay Shore, flanked on one side by an ice cream shop and on the other by a convenience store. Inside, jerseys of the New York Jets — John’s favorite team — and the New York Giants hang on one wall.

Kevin sits at the bar, nursing a beer. He remembers how he and John met — in a fistfight related to work that Kevin initiated. John knocked Kevin down several times, then looked at him.

“Are we going to do this again?” he asked Kevin. “Or are we gonna have a beer?”

They had a beer. And “we were buddies from then on.”

He worked alongside John at Ground Zero for just as many months. He still has a bag of clothes from those days that he opens every now and then. “I don’t know why, but smelling it sometimes, it brings me back to earth.”

He is 51 and has two children, ages 5 and 6.

“I look at my kids,” Kevin says. “It scares the hell out of me. ... I try not to think about it.” Then, again, softly, “I try not to think about it.”

On the bus, Lenny Martinez, once John’s partner in a contracting business, leans back on the seat. As another country tune starts up, he tries to blink back tears. He takes off his glasses, wipes his eyes, hugs his wife.

“Every time I get back on the bus, I start crying,” he says. “He was king of the prom. ... He would get everybody together. It’s kind of sad — they say the good die young. If I can affect half as many people as he did, in my lifetime, I feel my job is done.”

The bus pulls into an empty lot across the street from The Southside Hotel, a red brick restaurant-bar in Bay Shore that has been around since Prohibition days.

Stories about John flit around the small tables in the wood-lined colonial-style bar.

Lenny is smiling, remembering how, at Lenny’s wedding, John, a top hat on his head and cane in his hand, pretended he couldn’t see as he walked into the reception hall. How the crowd laughed.

Lenny laughs, too. He also remembers John’s resolute sense of duty: “He was an average lunchbox guy.

He said, `I got to go.’ Most people wouldn’t do that.”

John’s boisterous 75-year-old uncle, called Uncle Dave by all, raises his glass and bellows: “To John, my nephew. I loved him dearly and I know you guys, did, too. Salut!”

The room echoes.

On the bus, Nancy finds her seat. The afternoon has been difficult, but good, too. Plenty of tears, but also so much laughter, so many warm remembrances, so much loving comfort.

As the strains of a song begin, Nancy jumps up excitedly. It is “Compass” by Lady Antebellum. Everyone seems to understand and the bus fills with exuberant voices and clapping.

Yeah, it’s been a bumpy road, roller coasters high and low Fill the tank and drive the car, pedal fast, pedal hard You won’t have to go that far If you want to give up cause it’s dark, we’re really not that far apart So let your heart, sweetheart, be your compass when you’re lost And you should follow it wherever it may go Nancy is swaying, letting the music and words take her someplace else. The necklace she made from her and John’s wedding rings hangs around her neck — inside John’s simple circular band is hers, shaped into a heart, the diamond nestled at the point.

riage equality and abortion; school choice and their stance on standard core curriculum in public schools; illegal immigration; and whether they would vote for an increase in the number of votes needed to change the Colorado State Constitution.

“Some of you know me as a radical, home-school mom who knows how to shoot,” Ransom said. “Others of you know me as a worker bee here in Douglas County.

One that says yes to walking in a parade or working on a resolution, taking calls for yet another campaign and serving the district.”

“I’m a constitutional conservative, a capitalist that believes in private property rights and personal responsibility.”

On the issue of education, Ransom said that she favors leaving the power to set and change curriculum standards in the hands of the local school districts.

Ransom said that she is “100 percent prolife” and would support legislation protecting life from the moment of conception.

She described herself as a gun-rights activist and said she would support legislation that would allow anyone to carry a firearm concealed, or not, without a permit and supports the idea of allowing teachers to carry firearms, if that is what individual school districts decided for themselves. She also favors making it more difficult to change the state constitution.

Ransom will work with House District 44 Rep. Chris Holbert, who currently represents the district.

“HD44 deserves the best state rep that we can find. Chris Holbert has done a great job of moving the district down a great path.

We just need to continue the work he has started,” Ransom said. “It’s a safe district, so it’s safe to send someone as far to the right as you can find. Someone who is not afraid to take a stand, someone who knows the unintended consequences of the legislative process and someone who is going to fight the battles that need to be fought and knows when it’s time to find allies and common ground.”

Ransom will represent the Republican Party in November’s election against Democrat Karen Smith and Libertarian Lily Williams.

Developer wants 350 homes west of Pinery

By Chris Michlewicz

At a special selection meeting July 19 at the Douglas County Justice Center, Kim Ransom was chosen to replace Jack Hilbert as the Republican nominee for the House District 44 seat.

Ransom was elected by a majority on the first ballot.

House District 44 encompasses Parker, Lone Tree and parts of unincorporated Douglas County.

Ransom, 55, is a mother of four, and is a customer service representative for Ransom vacation rentals outlet VRBO. com. She has worked as an aide for two Douglas County state senators, Republicans John Evans and Tom Wiens and as the HD44 committee secretary.

Hilbert, who most recently served as Douglas County commissioner and won the Republican primary in June to represent House District 44 in the general election, withdrew his name as the sole candidate July 13 after accepting a position as Child Welfare Hotline System manager with the Colorado Department of Human Services’ Child Welfare Protection Division.

Five people —Ransom, Debbie Lewis, Donald Parrot, Debbie Cohen and Kim Monson —interviewed for the position.

Each candidate had three minutes to speak on their qualifications for the position and then answered questions from the panel.

They were given two minutes to respond to each question. Each interview lasted about an hour.

The panel, made up of three members of the HD44 Republican Committee and three voting members of the Douglas County GOP executive team, asked the candidates about their positions on the Second Amendment and extending gun rights to places of business and schools; social issues, such as mar-

Ransom chosen GOP nominee for HD44

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com A real estate investment group wants to change Douglas County’s master plan to build 350 homes west of The Pinery.

The county’s development review department is looking over a pair of applications for Stone Creek Ranch, a proposed 250-acre neighborhood southwest of South Parker Road and Scott Road.

Among them is a requested amendment to the 2030 Comprehensive Master Plan that would change 155 acres of agricultural land currently used for the grazing and farming of hay and alfalfa to an urban land-use designation. The applications were submitted last year by Choke Cherry Investors, LLC, an Englewood, Colo.-based company.

The Douglas County Planning Commission, which will make the final decision, is tentatively scheduled to review the request Aug. 11.

The second application under review is a planned development guide, a document that outlines the intent and scope of a project. The developer also submitted a sketch plan, which details road alignments, compatibility with surrounding uses and soil conditions, and a separate proposal to establish a metropolitan district to install infrastructure.

However, county officials must first approve the land-use amendment to the master plan and planned development guide before reviewing the sketch plan and special district service plan, said Dan Avery, principal planner for Douglas County.

If approved, the subdivision would be

bisected by Cherry Creek. Choke Cherry Investors, LLC, wants to develop the 155acre parcel east of the creek with “low to moderate densities similar to The Pinery and up to a maximum of 312 single family lots,” the planned development guide says. That property could be included in The Pinery Separated Urban Area.

The western portion of Stone Creek Ranch — a 96-acre plot west of the creek — would maintain a non-urban designation. The parcel would contain a maximum of 38 homes at a density of one dwelling unit per 2.5 acres. If approved as proposed, the home sites will be clustered in the northwest area of the site and more than 70 percent of the site, including the Cherry Creek floodplain and riparian corridor, will be preserved as open space, the planning guide says.

Choke Cherry Investors, LLC, calls the development a “logical extension” of what already exists in the area, including The Pinery and Pradera.

“Stone Creek Ranch will offer a unique living environment that is compatible with and complementary to existing and planned developments in the area,” the company’s proposal says. “The intent is to develop the property into several villages planned around parks, trails and open space amenities.”

Choke Cherry Investors says grazing and crop production has “significantly disturbed” the site, but with Stone Creek Ranch, there is an “opportunity to develop while concurrently restoring proposed open space areas, especially the Cherry Creek riparian corridor, to a healthy condition.”

Public hearings have not yet been scheduled before the planning commission and Douglas County Board of County Commissioners to discuss the planned development guide.

Congestion spurs parking changes

Congestion on Trail Boss Lane, plus general safety concerns, have led Castle Rock town officials to prohibit parking on the west side of the street, next to Metzler Ranch Park.

Other changes in the area will include: • A new non-flashing school zone sign to remind drivers of the 20 mph speed limit during school times.

• No parking between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. for a small section on the east side between the Renaissance School’s south driveway and the Early Learning Center’s driveway to allow for more space for parent drivers waiting to drop off and pick up students at the school.

• No parking, stopping or standing on the east side of Trail Boss Lane near the street’s intersections with Black Feather Trail and Trail Boss Drive to help traffic flow.

• Additional crosswalks along Trail Boss Lane, so people who park in the schools’ parking lots can cross to the park and vice versa.

The work is expected to be complete before school starts in August.

Young entrepreneurs may boost town’s future Weekly program open to all Douglas students

By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Carrie Buchan hopes they come home.

As the program manager of the Castle Rock chapter of the Young Entrepreneurs Academy, she hopes giving high school students strong local business connections and mentorship now means they will return to help lay a fertile foundation for the town’s business future.

“Our hope is that these students might start a business through the program, and then go off to college, but that they might come back to where they have set up a network of business and connections when they’re done,” Buchan said.

“They form bonds with people in the community, business owners, chamber people, investors. They have quite a network when they get done with the program.”

The academy is open to students be-

tween the ages of 11-18 and is a weekly after-school program hosted at Castle View High School in Castle Rock. It is open to all students in Douglas County.

During the roughly 32-week course, hosted by the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce, students will go through a brainstorming and idea-creating process, learn how to write a formal business plan and proposal, present their idea to a live panel of local investors and business owners and, when possible, launch a business.

“We look for kids who are enthusiastic and passionate about something,” Buchan said. “They don’t necessarily have the business knowledge. Some come with an idea but some don’t. They like the idea of being their own boss or having a business and want something that they can start during high school, but also may be able to carry on through college and help themselves pay for school.”

Students do market research, learn how to conduct a focus group, evaluate whether there is a need for their product and then meet with mentors who work with them on a business plan. Local bankers then review the business plans

and, if considered financially viable, the plans go before an investor panel, often resulting in the students receiving a financial gift or an equity stake from the investors.

“This year we had our investors, who had their pot of money that they distributed to the kids, but a couple of them were interested in a particular student and told her, ‘If you get that idea patented as an individual, I would be interested in investing as an equity investor,’” Buchan said of Marissa Gould.

Gould’s idea, the Belly Brush, aims to provide an easy-to-use product that gives you a cleaner and fresher-smelling navel.

Other recent student businesses were a nonprofit organization that hopes to bring educational supplies to impoverished communities and a teen apparel app.

In addition to possibly investing in a business plan, mentors provide advice and offer suggestions on how to improve products and ideas.

Buchan said that while the business experience and connections are important, the real value often lies in teaching

students how to shape and communicate their ideas professionally.

“That’s the biggest thing that I hear from parents,” she said. “They can’t believe how their confidence changes by the end.”

Applications for the program are accepted on a rolling basis, and orientation is scheduled for October. The cost of the course is $350 and there’s also a $10 application fee.

On the application, students will need to complete three short answers to questions, write a 300-word essay about how they have demonstrated the traits of an entrepreneur, provide a current school transcript and submit a letter of recommendation from a teacher, guidance counselor or community leader.

The Young Entrepreneurs Academy is a nationwide organization with more than 90 locations across the country.

The Castle Rock chapter became the first in Colorado in 2012. There is also a program in Grand Junction, which just completed its first year.

them in their time of need and said that, often times, what cancer patient really need is simply someone to listen.

“You guys are the most powerful, courageous, people I know. You inspire us every day,” Mullen said before starting the relay by sending cancer survivors out for the traditional first Survivors Lap. “Congratulations on kicking cancer’s butt and being a survivor one more day.”

Relay for Life is an organized, overnight community fundraising walk to raise money for the American Cancer Society and cancer research.

Teams of people camp out around a track while members of each team take turns walking around the track.

The theme of this year’s relay was Christmas in July. Walkers in the overnight event decorated tents and sleeping areas with holiday decorations and Santa even made an appearance “I’ve been here about four years doing relay for life. This is a community event,” Richard Wright said. “It’s a big, huge party for the right cause, people helping people in the fight against cancer.”

perience to be able to work with these kids and see the kind of smile that you could put on their faces and the kind of dedication they have,” she continued. “It was a great experience for me personally.”

It was amazing to see the kind of confidence he had,” Orlova said. “I wish I had more of that. When I have to give speeches, I

wish I could speak more from my heart like that and let my personality shine through.”

She was born in the Ukraine and lived there until she was 8 years old before moving to Colorado with her mother in 2005.

This year’s competition will take place on Aug. 1, and Orlova will help crown a new queen the next day.

“In a couple weeks someone else will be taking over the crown and taking over the responsibility of promoting the fair and the royalty,” she said.

Rodeo contestants not only have to be able to win over a panel of judges, but they also have to know how to ride.

The contest is judged on a combination of horsemanship and personality demonstrated through different riding exhibitions and interviews.

It’s a competition that Orlova said can be a tough mountain to climb.

“At the beginning it’s very nerveracking, but I guess what I told the girls this year who are trying out is, if you’re nervous, well, I guess if you’re not ner-

vous you’re not doing it right,” Orlova said. “When you’re talking to the judges, at first, you can feel shy. Well, at least I did, but after talking to them for a while, I started to warm up and they are very nice. By the end, I felt very comfortable and I felt very good about doing my speech in front of them.”

Royalty program coordinator Roxanne Harris said she wants people to know that the rodeo royalty aren’t your typical pageant girls.

“I think royalty sometimes gets a stigma that these girls are just beauty queens, and they are so much more than that,” Harris said. “They really put themselves out there. These girls study and work hard. They’re very knowledgeable

about agriculture and rodeo. They have to go out there and ride these horses.

They’re athletes. There’s a lot that goes into this.”

This year’s coronation ceremony will be Aug. 2 at 4 p.m., and will be followed by the Hometown Rodeo.

“The crowning is an amazing feeling,” Orlova said. “When they put that sash on you, they take all these pictures and there are photographers everywhere. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office presents us with our queen saddles. It’s just a great feeling.”

No special session on fracking issue Controversy could move to ballot box

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The battle over hydraulic fracturing revved up last week as a diverse group of state, energy and business leaders joined Gov. John Hickenlooper in speaking out against potential ballot measures that would limit the oil- and gas-drilling practice statewide.

The move came on July 17, a day after Hickenlooper ended his long-shot effort at convening a legislative special session to deal with the highly contentious political issue.

Hickenlooper had hoped to accomplish a legislative compromise over fracking issues in order to avoid an expensive, high-stakes battle at the ballot box this November.

With no fracking legislation in place to stop ballot measures from moving forward, Hickenlooper took aim at initiatives that he feels will have “potentially disastrous consequences” if they prevail in November.

“With November’s election fast approaching, we all agree we must all turn our full attention to defeating these ballot measures,” Hickenlooper said at the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.

The governor was joined by business leaders and a bipartisan group of politicians to denounce fracking initiatives that could result in the loss of “thousands and thousands of jobs, billions of dollars in investment and hundreds of millions of dollars in state and local tax revenues.”

The debate over fracking — the process in which highpressure fluid is blasted deep into the ground to free up oil and gas — has reached a pivotal point, now that it appears that voters will be weighing in on the issue in November.

Supporters of fracking say it is a job creator and a vital part of Colorado’s economy. Opponents have serious environmental and health concerns.

The proposals would allow communities to have more control over where drilling takes place. And one effort would amend the state Constitution to require that wells be placed at least 2,000 feet from structures, up from the current setback of 500 feet.

Oil and gas industry leaders say the proposed setback requirement is tantamount to a drilling ban in Colorado. Hick-

enlooper said the proposed “arbitrary” setback limit “provides no room to adjust based on local conditions and realities in specific communities.”

U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, a wealthy Boulder Democrat who will largely finance the fracking-limits campaign, is backing the setback initiative.

After seeing a potential legislative compromise fail, Polis said, “We must turn to the people of Colorado to solve this problem.”

“I have said from the beginning of this debate that my one goal is to find a solution that will allow my constituents to live safely in their homes, free from the fear of declining property values or unnecessary health risks, but also that will allow our state to continue to benefit from the oil and gas boom that brings jobs and increased energy security,” Polis said through an emailed statement.

“I stand by this goal, I am confident that the majority of Coloradans share this goal, and I am committed to continuing to work to protect our Colorado values.”

Hickenlooper acknowledged the environmental concerns over fracking, touting tough new energy regulations that impose emission and methane controls and put in place strict fracking fluid disclosure requirements.

“We’re proving that we can take full advantage of the innovations of oil and gas development while at the same time maintaining the highest ethical, safety and environmental standards,” Hickenlooper said.

It’s likely that voters will continue to weigh in on fracking issues for years to come as long as there is no legislative solution to the issue — but finding that solution has proven to be a difficult task.

The prospects of divided stakeholders coming together for a compromise on fracking were dim from the start this year.

Still, Hickenlooper held out hope for months that all sides could find common ground in order to avoid “draconian” ballot measures.

The governor told reporters in May that the odds were “5050” that he would call a special session. However, he lowered those odds last month before finally calling off any plans for a special session.

A large obstacle was finding a balance that appeases community concerns, but also protects homeowners’ abilities to collect mineral-rights royalties when drilling occurs on their

“I think there is compromise there that will allow a measure of local control in some way but will at the same time protect the private property rights,” Hickenlooper said. “But that’s probably going to take a long process. Again, there’s a lot of emotion here and trying to do it rapidly proved to be clearly difficult.”

State House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, DGunbarrel, who played a large role in the negotiations, said she is “not giving up” on finding solutions to the debate over drilling. Still, she understands the political reality of this hotbutton issue.

“I’m disappointed that we were unable to forge a localcontrol accord on oil and gas development with enough bipartisan support to pass the General Assembly this year,” she said. “It would be a waste of taxpayers’ money to hold a special session that likely would not achieve a legislative solution.”

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “In `Sam and Streilka,’ for example, a Russian dog who traveled in space is only brush strokes away from `The Big Bang.’ It is my hope that the painting is thematically expansive — as well as visually unified …”

That is from a statement by artist Sandra Kaplan for “Galactic Stories,” her latest exhibit at the Fulginiti Pavilion for Bioethics and Humanities at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. It runs through Aug. 28 and is a most engaging collection of images that blend history, science, philosophy — and especially art.

Kaplan is an experienced painter and teacher who resides in Englewood, with studio and teaching space in Denver. She has been known for collages in addition to more conventional painting techniques, and in this show, the viewer finds both — executed with the technical skill that comes with time.

She explains that her daughter, an electrical engineer, stimulated her thought processes to begin with when she sent several photos taken by the Hubble telescope. “Intrigued, I began combing through as many astronomy books as I could find, collecting historical astronomical images and scientific charts and maps.”

Friends learned of her interest and added to her collection of books, and drawings and images began to find their way into new collages. Mythology merges with more

The City of Denver could become “one big farmers’ market” after the city council recently approved an ordinance that allows Denver residents to sell from their homes fresh produce they have grown themselves and cottage foods such as jams and honey they have made in their home kitchens.

“Denver has always been known as a city that appreciates `farm-to-table’ and using fresh produce and locally sourced foods, but this new law creates a whole new level of urban farming that will allow the city to become one big farmers’ market,” said Richard Scharf, president and CEO of Visit Denver.

Under the new ordinance, Denver residents will have to purchase a permit, but then will be able to sell from their home raw and uncut fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs that were grown by the seller either on-site or in a community garden.

They will also be able to sell whole eggs produced by chickens or ducks kept by the seller at home, or “cottage foods,” which are low-risk, unrefrigerated food products made on-site such as spices, teas, honey, jams and certain baked goods.

“Maps chart what we think we know, yet to me they always suggest that there’s more

to discover ... I’m not entirely sure where the line between reality and imagination begins and ends. The best I can say is that the skies are full of astonishments that can expand the field of artistic play and those are the fields in which I’m currently working.”

Chop Shop Casual Urban Eatery, a refined casual American grill with a global influence, opened recently in Denver’s East Colfax neighborhood at 4990 E. Colfax. The fast-casual concept combines quick service for a casual market that strives to serve the freshest ingredients with the highest standards and inventive techniques.

Customers can enjoy a quick healthy and local lunch or dinner to go, and also a comfortable space for patrons to linger for a tap beer or a pour of keg wine.

Owner and executive chef Clint Wangsnes (former top toque at Zengo) brings a diverse blend of his coastal trainings in Florida, California, Oregon and Hawaii, combined with Asian and Mexican influences from nearly a decade with famed chef and restaurateur Richard Sandoval.

“Chop Shop has been a true labor of love and the result of an idea I had three years ago after my daughter Luella was born,” Wangsnes said. “The addition of my son helped propel the need for seriously good protein and sides of a highend steakhouse, but in a relaxed and price-appropriate manner.”

Chop Shop Casual Urban Eatery is open Sunday-Thursday from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m., and remains open until 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Online ordering and takeout are available.

A treat for the eyes ACC exhibit held in spacious gallery

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com In early June, the call for artists went out for the annual Kaleidoscope Juried Art Exhibition to be held in Arapahoe Community College’s spacious Colorado Gallery of the Arts. The resulting show, juried by Nathan Abels, is now open through July 29, with free admission during gallery hours.

Abels, an experienced painter who has coordinated ACC’s painting and drawing departments since Marsha Wooley retired, included a range of works, which vary in style and technique. Selection was limited by the size of the gallery, and he wrote a thoughtful statement about his choices: “Judging is frequently a subjective exercise; one mediated by experience, knowledge and to a lesser degree, personal taste …”

“There were a number of quality submissions,” he continued, “which made selection difficult.”

He looked for “an aptitude with formal elements, a compelling subject or competition, as well as inventiveness or unique creativity. I also sought to balance the range of styles, mediums and themes in

LEFT: “Steam Punk Dragon and “Camelot Dragon” by Pam Schmidt are created from leather and wire and are in the Kaleidoscope exhibit at ACC. RIGHT: “Poppyesque” by Michele Sires-Delorean is an acrylic painting that won First Place in the Kaleidoscope exhibit at ACC. Photos by Sonya Ellingboe the exhibition. I believe that strong works are those which have the ability to engage the viewer both formally and conceptually.

Sometimes this can be recognized almost immediately, while other works take more deliberation on the part of the viewer or juror …”

First place went to Michele Sires-Delorean for her bright, horizontal acrylic, “Poppyesque,” which beckons the viewer to take a closer look.

Paul Lindberg’s digital photograph, “Mammoth Hot Springs,” as viewed in

winter, invites a visit. It won second place.

Third place went to Gayla Ruckhaus for “Love in Thin Air,” a fiber composition made from wool and silk. The rich texture made one want to touch. “This piece is reminiscent of Romantic era painting and shows exceptional handling of the media,” Abel wrote.

Honorable-mention winners are: Christine Johnson, Linda Schmale, Forest Plesko, Amber Hastings and Melody P. Hahn.

In addition to the two-dimensional art on the walls, there are a number of inter-

esting 3-D pieces to enjoy — in particular, Pam Schmidt’s two beautifully crafted works in leather and crystal: “Steampunk Dragon” and “Camelot Dragon.”

IF YOU GO The Annual Kaleidoscope Juried Exhibition runs through July 29 in the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College, 5900 S Santa Fe Drive, Littleton. Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

Admission is free.

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Phamaly Theatre Company has chosen “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” as its 25th-anniversary musical, and delivers a well-directed, imaginative production through Aug. 10 at the Space Theatre in the Denver Performing Arts Complex.

Phamaly is made up entirely of performers with a wide variety of physical, cognitive and emotional disabilities, and director Steve Wilson draws some parallels: “This musical offers a poignant story about disenfranchisement. The concept of this staging will highlight a group of downtrodden players who will tell the tale as a means of escaping their spiritual and physical confinement. Like Joseph, the members of our company have also experienced a measure of misfortune …”

Company members present a joyous production, with a live band, directed by Donna Debreceni, which carries the audience along,

The story is a familiar one from the Bible, and very appropriate family fare. Joseph is his father’s favorite and the recipient of that gorgeous coat, which results in anger and jealousy among the brothers. They kidnap him and sell him as a slave to traders who take him to

Egypt. “One more Angel in Heaven,” with a Western twang, expresses phony sorrow.

Joseph soon meets Potiphar and his randy wife in Egypt, and the Pharaoh, who is an Elvis look-alike — Potiphar and Pharaoh are both parts well played by Trenton Schindele.

Joseph’s skill at interpreting dreams brings the Pharoah’s favor—especially since he foresees good things in the future of Egypt. The show’s message is one of hope.

Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice manage to spoof a range of musical genres is a lively, delightful score. Voices are generally strong and blend well to make this a really strong, remarkable production. Debbie Stark’s choreography always amazes me.

Verdict on `Tarzan’ is up in the air Entertaining show not as strong as other Arvada offerings

IF YOU GO

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Through a watery scrim, we see a stormy sea and a ship’s passengers in serious trouble — they’ve got our attention.

Quickly, the scene shifts to a jungle, with a variety of interesting sounds and a house on stilts where the storm survivors — mother, father and wee baby — are soon in big trouble again with a sleek, growling leopard (choreographer Kitty Skillman Hilsabeck) sailing through the air.

Only baby survives, tucked in a trunk.

A band of apes swings and lumbers into sight, and it’s all about flying from here on — and on and on. Mother ape Kala (Shannan Steele), who lost her baby to that same evil leopard, finds the human baby and takes him home to raise, over the protests of the dominant male, Kerchak (Lawrence A. Curry).

These are singing apes in stylized costumes, cleverly designed by Meredith S. Murphy, in the production of “Tarzan: The Stage Musical” at the Arvada Center.

Scenic designer Brian Malgrave has produced a lush jungle setting for the musical’s characters to inhabit. The music is pleasant, but not memorable, and choreographer Hilsabeck worked effectively with the flight director Geddy Webb and director Gavin Mayer to keep everyone moving with the music, whether airborne or not. Many cast members had previous flying experience in other

“Tarzan: The Stage Musical” plays through Aug. 3 at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; 1 p.m.

Wednesdays; 2 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays. Tickets: 720898-7200, arvadacenter.org.

productions.

The book is by David Henry Hwang, whose musical, “M. Butterfly,” was a Tony winner. Rock artist/songwriter and Genesis drummer Phil Collins wrote the music and lyrics for the original Disney animated film, and added more songs for this staged version.

A young Tarzan (Conrad Eck on the night we attended) is confused about who he is in his world and enjoys a friend, sassy young ape Terk (Thomas Russo). Soon he metamorphoses into a conflicted grown-up Tarzan (a buff Bruce Ogilvie). And who should appear on the scene but a Victorian young lady botanist named Jane ( Jennifer Lorae), with her scientist father, Porter (Colin Alexander), who thinks like Darwin and hopes for an ape sighting.

The adults in the audience know Edgar Rice Burroughs’ popular story and presumably have told their children what transpires so they can follow it despite the constant motion up in the trees.

Singing voices are strong and clear, and lighting and staging are polished as always at the Arvada Center. The material is not as strong and clear as other productions we have seen. But, I’d expect it would make an entertaining family outing — perhaps followed by some tricky swinging on ropes at home. (Children’s tickets purchased through the box office are discounted.)

Highlands Ranch woman offers helpful sessions

IF YOU GO

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com

Brown plans August mini-sessions (Tuesdays Aug. 5-26) and fall workshops starting in September. For information, see: thewriterstable.net/sessions or write: info@ thewriterstable.net.

“I believe we all have stories to tell. I believe we are all writers,” said Eleanor Brown.

Her first novel, “The Weird Sisters,” was on The New York Times best-seller list and was also a Colorado Book Award winner.

She also has published “WOD Motivation,” a fitness inspiration book, and has another book in the works. And she sets an example of arts as business.

Eleanor Brown moved to Highlands Ranch from Florida after a long teaching career and missed the interaction of the classroom. She has started a series of workshops and classes called Writers’ Table, which she describes Brown as “wonderful, safe spaces for people who have always wanted to write, but need a little support or structure to build a habit, or established writers who just want to be part of a supportive group.”

She speaks of members of different levels of experience in many sorts of writing: memoir, essays, short stories, blogs, poetry, novels. They come from Littleton, Golden, Denver, Parker, Castle Rock and elsewhere.

“I see the most incredible things happen around the table week after week — from self-discovery to breakthroughs in craft,” she said. She prefers a group of six to eight and limits group size to 10 for weekly sessions, which involve about half the time in informal discussion and the other half writing.

Writers are invited, but not required, to share. “This is not a critique group — we talk about what stands out — are not judgmental. You get over that hump,” Brown said. “We try to develop a writing practice outside of class.”

She is truly enthusiastic about her students, who surprise her often. “People say,

`Oh, I just don’t feel it today,’ and produce the most incredible work.”

Her eight-week sessions are based on the Amherst Writers and Artists method.

Workshops meet for two hours at Brown’s home.

Participants talk about what they are noticing in a safe space. The Writers’ Table draws people of all ages, perspectives, life experiences — and Brown feels that space in her Highlands Ranch home is more comfortable than a classroom.

While there is a dedicated room in her home, she encourages writers to head outside on the deck or into the dining room, if they wish, while in the writing phase of a meeting. “We are solitary together,” she said. (She writes too — and also gets stuck at times.)

“I offer a prompt at the beginning of every session — they can use it or not. Sometimes it fits — last night it was `gratitude.’

Some writers want a more specific goal, such as `a novel in a month.’ Many reach a point where they want some editing, and I can do that one on one.”

Brown send out two supportive emails a week. About the “I just don’t have time” feeling, she suggests 15 minutes twice a day. Many have amazing projects and she advocates “giving yourself time, space and permission to write.”

She once taught middle-school students and hopes to get back into doing some work with kids because she misses them. She also teaches at times for the Lighthouse Writers Workshop in Denver.

“Writing can be disconnected — between the writer and the reader, the community.” These sessions bring balance by meeting social needs.

She plans to offer future sessions on “social media for Writers — a different challenge.”

Serious speed for funny car racer Former area resident returns to drag racing tour competition

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Tommy Johnson Jr. smiled as he talked about his return as a full-time driver of a top fuel funny car.

“I drove part time for about five years as a result of a lack of sponsorship,” the former Littleton-area resident said. “This year, I am excited to be driving full time again” Johnson was at Bandimere Speedway July 18-20 to drive the “Make A Wish” top fuel funny car at the Mile High National Drag Race, the 14th race on the National Hot Rod Association drag racing schedule.

He said the season is going pretty well with one event win and one runner-up finish. He paused and added that the team has also experienced three engine explosions this year but said that is all part of driving top fuel funny cars.

“We hope to continue to jell as a team here at Bandimere Speedway,” Johnson said about the Mile High Nationals. “Coming to Bandimere is a lot of fun for me. I have raced here often in my career and I have become very good friends with the Bandimere family. I also lived in the area for a while and have a ton of friends in this area. I really liked living here in Colorado but this location doesn’t work well with the NHRA tour schedule.”

Johnson drives a top fuel funny car. The car is powered by a 10,000-horsepower engine. The funny cars launch off the starting line and hit speeds of 100 mph in less than a second. A drag race is a quarter-mile long and a top fuel funny car covers the distance is just over four seconds and crosses the finish line at more than 300 mph.

“It took a little time to get back into the groove of driving full time,” the veteran driver said. “Top fuel funny cars are squirrely, don’t want to go straight and it’s the driver’s job to keep the car in the groove in order to make the quickest possible run.”

LEFT: Tommy Johnson Jr. waits his turn at the starting line for the July 18 top fuel funny car qualifying run at the Mile High National Drag Races at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. Johnson piloted the car from a standing start to almost 300 mph in the quarter-mile run as he qualified sixth in the 16-car, single-elimination finals competition held July 20. ABOVE: Johnson signs an autograph for Colton Johnson, who visited the driver July 18 at the Mile High National Drag Races at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. Johnson, a former area resident, returned to full-time driving this year as the driver with the Make A Wish Foundation team.

Photos by Tom Munds He said it took a little while to once again develop the ability to keep ahead of the car mentally so his thought process moves faster than the car accelerates.

Johnson noted his team is different because usually the sponsor’s name is prominent on the side of the car but the team is independently sponsored and the space on the car is donated to Make A Wish Foundation.

“Our car sponsor is Terry Chandler who wanted to give something back to the community so made this the Make A Wish car to raise awareness of the foundation and all they do,” he said. “We usually have six to 10 Make A Wish kids visit us at the track at each race. It is great to see the kids and their parents have a day to relax and have fun. I have been surprised by the fact that, at every race,

I’ll have 15 or 20 people stop by the pits and tell me how Make A Wish has touched their lives.”

Johnson, who now lives in Indiana, has been drag racing since the early 1990s. He has wins in sportsman and alcohol funny car before he got his first win a professional in 1993.

He drove top fuel dragsters until the late 1990s. In 1999, he won his first race in a top fuel funny car. He is one of 15 drivers in NHRA history to win races driving a top fuel dragster and a top fuel funny car.

At 46, he said he feels he can continue to race for at least the next 10 years. He said he is encouraged by the fact John Force, a 14time top fuel funny car champion, is 65 and still winning race.

“Driving a top fuel funny car isn’t tre-

mendously demanding physically,” he said.

“Because of the fact you are subject to seven times the normal force of gravity off the starting line does beat up a bit in your back and neck. But that shouldn’t be a problem is you keep yourself physically fit.”

Johnson said he feels the team is hitting full stride and it is his hope to be with the team for quite a few years.

The Make A Wish team did pretty well in qualifying as they were sixth on the 16-car, single-elimination race bracket for the July 20 race finals. However, apparently there were some difficulties as Johnson lost the first-round race with Jack Beckman.

So, the team will pack up and head for next week’s race in Sonoma, Calif., in their bid to win another race and move up in the points standing.

Johnson darts to Pro Stock victory Teammate Coughlin red-lighted in title race

RESULTS FROM THE MOPAR MILE HIGH NATIONALS, HELD JULY 18-20 AT BANDIMERE SPEEDWAY IN MORRISON

By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Images of the King of the Mountain litter the Internet but none features Allen Johnson.

Johnson is the King of the Mountain, at least Thunder Mountain, the name attached to Bandimere Speedway in Morrison.

On July 20, Johnson drove his MagnetiMarelli Mopar Dodge Dart to his third consecutive Pro Stock championship at the Mopar Mile High Nationals and his fifth title in the past six years.

He now ranks second in the number of wins at Bandimere with six and trails Bob Glidden, who captured seven Pro Stock championships at Thunder Mountain.

“This was the first race I every qualified at in 1996, and that was the only race out of 21 I qualified for that year,” recalled Johnson, who now has 24 career wins and four this season. “I have qualified for every single race (here) since then. It’s very important to us. It’s almost like a championship to us to excite all the Mopar executives and everyone that comes out to support us, but it get tougher every year.”

Johnson, making his eighth consecutive appearance in the Mile High Nationals finals, beat Mopar teammate Jeg Coughlin Jr., who red-lighted in the title race. Johnson had a run of 6.930 at 198.61 miles per hour.

“This team continues to find a way to do it,” said Johnson. ”We want to win here for Mopar.”

Mopar announced a three-year extension of its sponsorship of the Mile High Nationals

Allen Johnson launches his pro stock drag racer off the starting line during a recent National Hot Rod Association event.

Johnson won the pro stock championship July 20 at the Mile High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. This was Johnson’s third straight pro stock win at an NHRA event. It also marked the eighth straight year he has been in the pro stock finals at the Mile High Nationals. Courtesy photo earlier in the day. The current 26-year Mopar sponsorship with Bandimere is the longest running sponsorship in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series.

“Mopar and the mountain and me, we’re married,” said Johnson. “We’re going to take that deal and run with it the next three years and break Bob Glidden’s record and be the king of the mountain for a long time.”

Johnson’s car might not have been as dominant as it was in past seasons but it was good enough for him to win again.

“We struggled a little bit, Saturday (July 19) especially,” said Johnson. “Friday (July 18) we were decent but we didn’t build on it. We had to start over. First round (of eliminations) we were solid, and then something else start

going wrong second and third round. In the final, Jeg, if he hadn’t red-lighted, he probably had us beat because he had the speed. He was on a really good run.”

Pro stock points leader Erica Enders-Stevens bowed out in the second round when she lost to Dave Connolly.

V Gaines of Lakewood, a 2013 finalist, lost to Connolly in the first round of eliminations and Denver’s Shane Gray was also ousted in the opening elimination round. He lost to Chris McGaha.

In the qualifying, Johnson set a new track record of 198.90 mph on a cooler day July 18.

He beat his own Bandimere mark of 198.70 mph.

Anadarko is Providing for Today and Innovating for Tomorrow The United States is in the midst of an energy revolution supported in large part by the increased oil and natural gas production occurring in Colorado. With almost 10 percent of the nation’s natural gas reserves and approximately 2 percent of its oil reserves, Colorado has become a key contributor in enhancing the nation’s energy security, and in providing essential energy resources that reliably fuel the modern world.

Anadarko, a South Metro Denver Chamber member, employs more than 1,500 Coloradans that share a set of core values that includes integrity and trust, open communication, servant leadership, people and passion and

commercial focus. These values have made Anadarko a leading oil and natural gas exploration and production company in Colorado and among the largest in the world, and they guide the company’s employees in fulfilling their mission to safely explore for, acquire and develop oil and natural gas resources vital to the world’s health and welfare.

Through the application of advanced technology and human ingenuity, Anadarko continues to responsibly expand the productive life of Colorado’s Wattenberg field along the Front Range. Since 2007, Anadarko has invested more than $5 billion in capital, while contributing more than $700 million in taxes,

salaries and royalties for the benefit of area communities.

A vibrant oil and natural gas industry in Colorado benefits every Coloradan through funding for local communities and services, tax revenue for public schools and infrastructure improvements, creation of local direct and induced employment opportunities, support for hundreds of non-profit organizations and lower energy costs for all Colorado consumers.

Learn how Anadarko is safely producing vital energy resources from Colorado’s Wattenberg field at www.anadarko.com, or like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ anadarkopetroleumcorporation.

HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Littleton It is well-documented that patients who utilize inpatient rehabilitation hospitals after an injury, illness, or surgery show improved functional outcomes over those who do not.

HealthSouth, a South Metro Denver Chamber member, is one of only two freestanding inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in the Denver metro area.

“Our success depends on the quality of care provided to every patient,” said Dr. Jill Castro, Medical Director at HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Littleton. “Our group is experienced and ready to help patients reach their goals and exceed their expectations to get back home sooner.

Our expert teams of independent private practice physicians, Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurses, therapists, case managers and hospital staff members area already working together to provide an exceptional patient experience and become the reha-

bilitative provider of choice Littleton and greater Denver.

Patients in an acute rehabilitation hospital are offered a more intense approach to rehabilitation that benefits patients and families in less time. Patients receive:

sion. Common conditions accepted by our home admission program are Parkinson’s disease, history of a stroke, generalized weakness, cardiac surgery, neurological disorders, rheumatoid disease, and back, pelvis or lower extremity fractures.

Daily Physician Visits: Patients are evaluated by a board-certified physiatrist (physicians who specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation).

Certified Rehabilitation RNs: HealthSouth patients have ‘round-the-clock supervision from certified rehabilitation registered nurses.

“Littleton Boy Scouts presented with $4,000 check by LEADapalooza member Cheryl Braunschweiger, John Weksler and others.

LEADapalooza, one of the South Metro Denver Chamber’s business leads groups, presented a $4,000 check this week to Boy Scout

Troop 4 of Littleton.

The money was donated by area residents who dropped off 40,000 pounds of used electronics and 10,000 pounds of documents to be shredded at a free event last month sponsored and staffed by members of LEADapalooza. Scouts from Troop 4 also were on hand to help.

“This is the most successful event of any kind that I’ve ever been involved with,” said Cheryl Braunschweiger of ALMC Mortgage at NOVA Home Loans, primary organizer of the event. “The shredding truck provided

by SHRED-IT was so full that the sides were bulging. And Techno+Rescue had to bring in extra trucks because of the tremendous volume of items we collected for recycling.”

Legal Notice No.: 975711 First Publication: July 24, 2014 Last Publication: August 25, 2014 Publisher: Douglas County News-Press

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) There’s something about you Fine Felines that makes people want to tell you secrets.

But once again, be wary of who is doing the telling. You might not want to be that person’s confidante.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Creating a fuss about a family matter might get everyone’s attention. But it might be better to talk one-on-one with family members in order to spare a loved one unnecessary embarrassment.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You’re making progress on that career move, albeit not as quickly as you had hoped. But stay with it. Your personal life takes an unexpected (but very welcome) new turn.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) If you feel you’ve been unfairly treated in a workplace decision, correct the situation now while there’s still time to do so. Arm yourself with facts, and go to it. Good luck.

The affected tracts of land (referred to as “Property”), were operated as part of a landfill used by the Village of Louviers.

The environmental use restrictions are necessary to ensure continued protection of human health and the environment due to the presence of this residual contamination. The restrictions are summarized as follows: a) Prohibition on Structures. No structures of any sort may be built on the Property. b) Limitation on Agricultural Uses. Agricultural uses other than grazing are prohibited. Grazing shall be managed to prevent erosion on the Property. c) Restriction on Surface Disturbance, and Underground Disturbance. Surface disturbance or excavation of any kind is prohibited on the Property, except for activities allowed pursuant to the “SWMU 24 Maintenance and Monitoring Plan,” dated March 14, 2011 and approved on March 21, 2011 (attached hereto as Attachment B) (the “Monitoring Plan”), including any subsequently approved amendments.

Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to, grading, digging, drilling, and mechanized cultivation.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You still have a way to go to bring that professional matter to a satisfactory conclusion. Meanwhile, an important personal situation could require more of your attention by week’s end.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Devising your own system of doing things might be the best way to handle an increasingly complex situation. But do it tactfully in order to avoid ruffling too many of your colleagues’ feathers.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A family member’s health problem might once again require you to shift some of your current priorities around. But this time, make certain other relatives will be there to help.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Catching up on tasks you’ve left undone will take a while to accomplish. But the sooner you complete them, the sooner you’ll be able to take on another time-sensitive project.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) You might feel swamped by all that you’re expected to do. But take a moment to come up for air, then handle things one at a time, and you’ll soon get through them all.
