National Night Out aims to be neighborly Englewood, Sheridan events bring police, public together By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Englewood and Sheridan will hold their National Night Out activities on Aug. 4 This is the 32nd year the National Association of Town Watch has sponsored and promoted the event it calls the nation’s night out against crime. The program’s goal is to urge people to come out of their homes, meet their neighbors and strengthen police-community relations. Toni Arnoldy, Englewood police community relations specialist, asked all those who are planning events to register, and added that the deadline for registration is July 28. “We have 14 registrations submitted plus another five or six who have said they will have
block parties but haven’t filed the paperwork so far,” she said. “I expect we’ll have at least 30 or 40 events again this year.” Events range from a dozen people gathering at a neighbor’s house for an ice cream social to residents of a neighborhood blocking off the street for a block party and holding a pot luck dinner. Almost every year, one of the largest events is put on by Englewood Bible Church. Volunteers serve free food, there are activities like a bounce house for children and the event usually attracts more than 300 people. Arnoldy and Neighborhood Watch volunteers work to promote the program and, on National Night Out, police officers, Denver firefighters, Denver Health paramedics and city officials will spread out across Englewood, visiting as many NNO events as possible. For information about the event or activities in a neighborhood, call Arnoldy at 303-762-2490 or email her at tarnoldy@englewoodgov.org. Sheridan will hold a citywide event from 6 to
8 p.m. on the lawn of city hall at 4101 S. Federal Blvd. The event will feature a K-9 demonstration, activities like face painting and free hot dogs. “I headed the effort that got our event started in 2008,” said Marilyn Duckett, Sheridan police administrative coordinator. “We wanted our residents to come, have fun and get to know our police officers.” Duckett, a Sheridan native, said she likes planning and putting on the event as a way for her, the police and the city to give back to the community. She said residents like the event and each year about 800 people attend the gathering. The first National Night Out was introduced in 1984 with the about 400 communities in 23 states participating. Last year, about 38 million people in about 16,124 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide took part in National Night Out events.

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
SHERRY ROTHBAUM
New to Littleton, retired My background
I just moved to Littleton from Lakewood in January. I was born in Denver, but I was raised on a farm in Wellington, Colo. Now there are a lot of junk cars on that Wellington farm, and it’s a pitiful sight on what was a beautiful piece of property. I went to East High School in Pueblo, then I went to Southern Colorado State College and Pueblo Community College. I was married to a Vietnam veteran for four years. I have three children, and two grandboys. I’m retired. But I did everything. I was a security guard, a certified nursing assistant, an executive secretary, and some other things. I worked at Computer Image Corporation in Denver for a while, then I got transferred to Beverly Hills to work in the Smothers Brothers office. They were involved in the company. They’re wonderful guys. I saw them later when they did a concert in Pueblo. I got to go backstage and talk to them, and they remembered me.
My hobbies I like to do ceramics, but it’s very expensive nowadays. I don’t like sewing anymore, I like somebody to be my seamstress. I like to do housekeeping and chores in my home. I like to keep up with myself.
My passion My favorite word is forgiveness, because it’s the entry for the next day. I also love to spread the word about zrii. com, and other things that help people and make them feel better. Also, gardavita.com. They’re health products, to help people feel well. But you can’t solicit just everywhere, you can get in trouble. I also volunteered at the veterans hospital for five months, working at the popcorn machine. It was fun. I worked with an Air Force Pilot who flew over Vietnam, and with a Mason whose wife was in Eastern Star.
Getting established I love it, people are nice here. I think it’s a pleasant community, because there are a lot of things to see and do. I’m getting established, and I’m getting the things I need. Things are finally coming my way. I just kicked all the negative stuff in the rear. Things were working against me, it was like a nightmare day and night for a while. But things are starting to go in my favor. I just like to be cautious about people and conversations. You don’t want to get into the wrong conversations with people. By Jennifer Smith.

DuBose leaves long legacy in Littleton Community activist helped create area youth initiative By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dozens of Jim DuBose fans gathered at Fort Logan National Cemetery on July 17 to witness a memorial service in his honor, presented by the Denver All Veterans Honor Guard. A longtime Littleton resident known for his civic activism, DuBose, 79, died peacefully in his sleep at his home on June 4. DuBose was born on March 27, 1936, in Oklahoma City. He grew up there on Rock House Ranch, until he entered Culver Military Academy in Indiana in the 1950s. In the late 1950s, he joined the Army and was stationed in Japan, many years after World War II. “He was not active duty,” said his daughter, Susan Brotherton. “He didn’t think his service was a big deal compared to everybody else.” He went on to attend the University of Arizona, and took a part-time job installing television sets. That’s what he was doing at a hospital on the day he met Sandy, a nurse. She wrote in a memory book that her car wouldn’t start, and he helped her out. A week later, he called for a date, and they lived happily ever after until her death on March 31, 1996. After college, DuBose got a job traveling the country selling pre-press equipment, which landed him in Littleton as a district manager in 1974. “He called himself a peddler,” laughs Brotherton. “When we got here, it was the first time we ever had stability. When I was a kid, we moved every three years. But he did what he had to do to make ends meet. We never had a ton, but we never wanted for anything.” The DuBose family settled into their home on Prince Circle in 1974, when there was a whole lot of nothing to the east of their neighborhood. To the west are stunning views of the mountains, the South Platte Valley and, now, Breckenridge Brewery. “When we first moved here, he walked out in the back yard and said, `I’m never leaving,’” said Brotherton. After his wife died, Brotherton remembers encouraging him to get involved in the community. A staunch conservative, he had always been interested but not active in politics. “But he did not form opinions based on anything other than facts,” said Broth-

It didn’t always sway him, though.” That’s when he met what was then a small group of men working to repeal Littleton’s grocery tax, which they successfully did in 2003. The group grew into the Sunshine Boys, a diverse bunch of men and women, Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians and independents, who consider themselves a local government watchdog. Through all those years, DuBose was a regular attendee at city-council meetings, usually with a twinkle in his eye and an often-mischievous grin. “He always said he just wanted them to know people were listening,” said Brotherton. Frank Atwood, a founding member of Sunshine, credits DuBose with motivating Littleton City Council to say the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of each meeting. “You contributed to a better Littleton and all of its initiatives, especially the Yellow Ribbon (suicide prevention) effort,” wrote Atwood on the tribute wall of the Ellis Family Services website. DuBose was especially proud of his work to help create the Greater Littleton Youth Initiative, established in the wake of the Columbine High School murders. “Probably in his heart, that was his personal favorite, what he could do to help kids,” said Brotherton. “He was so incred-

He was like a Tootsie Pop, hard and crunchy on the outside, but soft and sweet on the inside.” Brotherton, a librarian at Ralph Moody Elementary School, says she’s proud of the values her father passed on to his family. “He especially instilled this in my kids, and they say it all the time: `Do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do,’” she said. “I think it’s a great quote to live by,
and I’m so glad it resonates in his grandchildren.” In addition to Brotherton and her husband, Tim, DuBose is survived by their children, Ashley, Chelsea and Maxwell Brotherton; his son and daughter-in-law, John and Jamie DuBose of Centennial; grandson Wyatt DuBose; granddaughter Madison Provost and her partner, Steven Bunch, and their son, Liam.
Recent Heritage grad dies in SUV crash Witness accounts point to possibility of street race By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com An 18-year-old 2015 graduate of Heritage High School died in a single-car crash July 18. About 9 p.m., emergency personnel responded to Mineral Avenue near Long Drive, where Evan Hamill Carlson’s 1999 Chevrolet Suburban had collided with a
tree in the median. He was declared dead at the scene. Littleton police say Carlson was traveling west on Mineral at a high rate of speed when he lost control of the vehicle. Witnesses said he might have been involved in a street race prior to the collision. He was the only person in the vehicle, and nobody else was injured. Carlson was born on May 17, 1997, to Gregory and Diane Carlson, the middle son of three. He enjoyed the beach, fishing and most sports, especially football, lettering in the sport in his junior and senior years at Heritage.
He would have started at the University of Northern Colorado in the fall, with plans to pursue a teaching and coaching career. He was also looking forward to restoring a 1970 Ford Bronco with his father, according to an obituary posted to the Horan and McConaty website. On a Facebook page dedicated to tubing on the South Platte River, Carlson posted a news article about Joe Goodwin, a 2013 Heritage graduate who died in the river on June 20. Under his post, a friend made a plea for caution: “Please don’t go tubing or anything in the waters, I don’t want anyone to leave before they go to
college.” On his own Facebook page, Carlson wrote “Hakuna Matata” and a quote from Bob Marley’s “Could You Be Loved?”: “Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive, stay alive.” In addition to his parents, Carlson is survived by brothers Bryan and John, grandparents John and Barbara Lewellen of Denver, and many aunts, uncles and cousins. Police continue to investigate the circumstances of the accident and the possible involvement of other drivers, and are awaiting the results of toxicology tests.

Keeping the wheels rolling Dinner gives boost to seniors’ transportation By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com In Littleton, any reason for a party is a good reason, especially if it involves a lot of charitable giving and a little bit of wine. On July 23, both flowed in abundance at the Libby Bortz Assisted Living Center as people broke garlic bread together in support of the Littleton Transportation Network, a group dedicated to keeping the wheels of the Shopping Cart and the Omnibus going round and round. “We wanted to help lower-income seniors stay in their homes,” said Libby Bortz, who helped get those wheels rolling 41 years ago, and for whom the center is named. “It was so apparent that people would be better off with services like this than having to go into a nursing home. It’s good for costs, and good for them socially, physically and emotionally.” Bortz and other city dignitaries joined with residents of the center, many of whom are regular users of the free transportation services, for a sumptuous Italian dinner with all the fixings, including the aromatic garlic bread and spaghetti with giant meatballs. Classic tunes from the likes of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra enhanced the ambiance as the diners chatted. German native Gerda Ecker, 94, said she often uses the Shopping Cart to go to Southwest Plaza, which is great because she prefers to shop alone and it allows her some independence. “When I was younger, I didn’t depend on anybody,” she said.
Jacob Barrett, of Englewood, graduated in May with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, finance, from the University of Northern Colorado. Hillary Enyert, of Englewood, graduated in May with a bachelor’s degree in special education, K-12 teaching, from the University of Northern Colorado. Karly Gelinas, of Englewood, graduated in May with a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies, liberal arts, from the University of Northern Colorado. Ryan Glover, of Englewood, graduated in May with a master’s degree in accounting from the University of Northern Colorado.
Littleton residents came togetheron July 24 in support of the Omnibus and Shopping Cart, and to enjoy a sumptuous Italian dinner. Photo by Jennifer Smith Trish Kanagy is looking forward to when her mom, Pat Fusto, gets through rehabilitation and is able to start riding along with Ecker. “It makes it easier on me, because I won’t have to drive her all the time,” said Kanagy, who lives in Aurora. “She’ll have more control over her life and not be so dependent on me.” And the rides aren’t just for seniors. Before Bruce and Kelly Stahlman’s son Mark died last July at the age of 21 of complications from cerebral palsy, he rode the bus to theater rehearsals at Town Hall Arts Center. “He loved taking the bus, and he loved his driver, Mike Jones,” said Stahlman.
The Omnibus is a call-and-ride service that only travels within city limits, with a few exceptions for medical visits. The Shopping Cart has a set route and schedule. Both services are free, though donations are accepted and valuable to keeping the four buses on the road. It takes about $321,000 to keep the buses running each year. “People who use the service need to tell others how much they appreciate it,” said Tex Elam, chair of LTN. “The people who set budgets and have to worry about where they spend their money need to recognize the value of the service.” For more information, visit www.littletongov.org and click on “Community.”

Courage Classic ride brings hospital supporters together By Taryn Walker
twalker@colorado communitymedia.com More than 200 south metro area residents were among the thousands of cyclists who rode 150 miles-plus over three days to raise money for patients of Children’s Hospital Colorado. Nearly 2,000 riders pedaled the Courage Classic bike tour along Copper Mountain Resort Route, July 18-20, according to Monique McCoy, spokeswoman for Children’s. The 26th annual ride raised more than $2.9 million for patients and families, as well as helped meet the $35 million mark for the event since the hospital first began. More than 400 volunteers and numerous sponsors stepped up to the plate to make the 2015 ride happen to also encourage awareness. Centennial mother Denise Erwin rode in her 12th consecutive Courage Classic that weekend for her son Alex, who was diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma in 2012. “Nobody wishes this would happen,” Erwin said. “As a parent, it is terrible to walk your child through a journey like that. Everyone always assumes that cancer only happens to everyone else. People like me don’t want to feel silly running to the doctor for just anything, but in this case — it was life-saving.” Her now 14-year-old son went through chemotherapy with Children’s for a year after a lump was detected under his arm. He is now in remission and will be starting high school this year, cancer-free, Erwin said. She feels Children’s Colorado is an important place in the community and riding in the Courage Classic is her means to help out, she said. “They (the hospital) have expertise that applies to children and their families, both in terms of dealing with children medically, but also helping children through the pro-
Riders participate in the first day of the Courage Classic. Courtesy photo cess,” she said. “Children feel cared for and special when they are there.” As for the tour, it went well. “It’s really a great ride. The mountains are so beautiful — it’s a ride that people do because they have somebody they care about or they just care about children in general. Everyone is propelled by the mountains. I still feel so good about it. It might have been easier, if I trained a little more,” Erwin said. The Ponzio Pedalers, a cycling team made up of people from all around Colorado, racked up thousands of miles before
the Classic. Team member Andy Tuthill was enthusiastic about the event. “This is a tour, not a race,” he said. “I do a lot of events and I wouldn’t miss this one for anything. It’s just great to set competition aside and connect with a cycling community for a good cause.” Funds raised through Courage Classic help Children’s Hospital Colorado achieve its mission to improve the health of children through high-quality, coordinated programs of patient care, education, research and advocacy, according to a press

Council candidate makes first run for officeD Brown is longtime resident of Littleton By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Andrea Brown filed as a Littleton City Council candidate on July 9, she initially planned to take on Council member Debbie Brinkman for the District 4 seat. But Brown changed her mind on July 22 and is now running for one of the two at-large seats that are currently held by Bruce Stahlman, who is not running for re-election, and Peggy Cole, who is. “I’ve only been in District 4 for two years,” she said. “A little competition never hurt anybody, but I just have interests that are more at large.” Brown is a longtime Littleton resident, having attended Centennial Elementary School and Goddard Middle School before graduating from Littleton High School in 1979. But she’s new to the political scene, and said she hasn’t yet garnered support from any of the usual players in town — including the Sunshine Boys or Citizens for Littleton’s Future, two well-established groups that often battle on opposite sides of issues.
‘ I’m not a politician, but I think part of what that means is I’ll have to listen more carefully and do more homework, and I intend to do that.’ Andrea Brown, Candidate for Littleton City Council “The idea to run pretty much just came from me,” she said. “I’m a registered Republican, but I have friends on the far left and the far right. I just love this town, and now I want to be a part of it in a bigger way. I have no political experience, and that’s something I value, in a way. A fresh perspective, new blood, I don’t think could hurt. … I’m not a politician, but I think part of what that means is I’ll have to listen more carefully and do more homework, and I intend to do that.” She thinks the city is progressing along nicely, but she expressed concerns over
talk about a smoking ban for downtown (she quit three years ago), density and the recent brouhaha over what merchants are allowed to place on the sidewalks. “It seems like we’re kind of trying to control people too much,” she said. “But I have to listen to both sides.” She has what she calls some “little ideas” she’d like to see happen, like installing a fountain park for kids to splash in somewhere downtown and opening up Cooley Lake for fishing. Brown, who earned her master’s degree in science curriculum and instruc-
tion from University of Colorado-Denver, teaches electronics and robotics two daysS a week at Cherry Creek Options School, c which serves home-schooled kids. Her own kids, however, all graduated from B Heritage High School. She had four kids, A though a son was lost in childhood to a heart defect. “I have a plot next to him in Littleton Cemetery, so that shows I’m not going anywhere,” she said. “I love the community, and the fact that I’m not the only one who loves it here.” Brown is a certified scuba diver who also loves to ski and read. She’s currently engaged to former Channel 7 helicopter pilot Richard Westra. Brown is the fifth candidate to announce plans for November. Along with Brinkman and Cole, Bill Hopping will try to protect the District 2 seat he was appointed to in April. Candidates are allowed to serve up to 12 consecutive years, so Brinkman and Cole are both eligible to serve four more years.

Hockey star joins South Suburban Parks and Rec Former pro Murphy is native of Ontario By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Family Sports Center’s new assistant general manager could be the subject of a Trivial Pursuit question: Who scored the final professional hockey goal of the last millennium? Answer: Dennis “Randy” Murphy, on Dec. 31, 1999, in a game versus El Paso in
the Western Professional Hockey League. That’s not the only thing he has going for him, either. He’s a native of Ontario, and the New Mexico Scorpions actually retired his number. “Who better to oversee Family Sports Center’s Ice Office than a native-born Canadian?” said Bill Dobbs, general manager of the center. “As a former player, coach and manager, he has a lot of valuable experience and will be a real asset to our staff.” Murphy was most recently director of hockey in Pelham, Alabama. He served in that state as head coach and direc-
tor of hockey operations for the Huntsville Havoc in the Southern Professional Hockey League from 2009 to 2012, guiding the team to its first and only SPHL Championship in 2010. He spent 12 years playing professionally in the American Hockey League, East Coast Hockey League, Central Hockey League and Elite European leagues. In 1999, he played a year in Denmark before returning to North America to play for the Scorpions. His coaching career also there; as head coach he led the team to the second round of the CHL playoffs in 2007-08.
Family Owned, Family Run
Murphy will oversee the FSC Ice Office and be responsible for the Arapahoe Youth Hockey League Hockey Program. Family Sports Center, 6901 S. Peoria St., Centennial, is an entertainment center featuring laser tag, inflatables, a climbing wall, bumper cars and more. Its ice arena is the practice facility of the Colorado Avalanche and is home to the Arapahoe Hockey League. South Suburban Parks and Recreation District owns and manages the complex, which is open to the public.

Death sentence for Holmes would be no sure thing Sanity questions, legal process could prevent killer’s execution By Sadie Gurman
Associated Press
The time has come for jurors to hear whether James Holmes should be executed for killing 12 people in an Aurora movie theater. But even if they choose death, Holmes could spend the rest of his life in prison awaiting capital punishment that never happens. Colorado has executed only one person in nearly half a century, and just three people sit on the state’s death row. The man closest to seeing his death sentence carried out was granted an indefinite reprieve in 2013 by Gov. John Hickenlooper, who said he had doubts about the fairness of the state’s death penalty system. “Capital punishment is on life support in Colorado,” Denver attorney Craig Silverman said. As a prosecutor, Silverman secured a death sentence in 1986 against Frank Rodriguez, whose crimes included the kidnapping, rape and murder of Denver bookkeeper Lorraine Martelli. But 16 years later, it was liver disease that finally caused the 2002 death of Rodriguez, who had remained on death row. “If you want a case that never dies, seek capital punishment and get a death verdict, and you’ll be working on it for the next 20 years,” Silverman said. The same jurors who convicted Holmes of 165 counts of murder, attempted mur-der and other charges in his July 20, 2012, etheater attack must soon decide whether he should pay with his life. The sentencing phase of his trial began last week. The Arapahoe County district attorney t a .
‘If you want a case that never dies, seek capital punishment and get a death verdict, and you’ll be working on it for the next 20 years.’ Craig Silverman, Denver attorney
who prosecuted Holmes, George Brauchler, said that if any crime should be punished by death, it is this one: Holmes opened fire on an audience of more than 400 defenseless strangers in a darkened theater during a Batman movie premiere, killing 12 and injuring 70 others. But many obstacles stand between Holmes and execution. Death row inmates in almost every state spend decades in prison as mandatory appeals play out in court. But Colorado has adopted a unique system for such appeals, requiring those sentenced to death to file post-conviction claims before a higher court reviews their case. It was supposed to speed up the process, but “it actually slowed it down exponentially,” said Hollis Whitson, a Denver defense attorney who specializes in appellate law. Nationally, death row inmates spend an average of 15½ years in prison before they’re executed, said Michael Radelet, a sociol-
ogy professor at the University of ColoradoBoulder, who has long studied the death penalty. It’s impossible to say how Colorado compares because the state has executed just one man since 1967 — Gary Lee Davis, who was put to death in 1997 after a 10year wait. He was convicted of kidnapping, raping and shooting Byers rancher Virginia May 14 times with a .22-caliber rifle. The other two on Colorado’s death row — Sir Mario Owens and Robert Ray — were sentenced to death more than five years ago for the double murder of Vivian Wolfe and Javad Marshall-Fields, but their appeals still haven’t been heard. Whitson’s study of capital punishment in Colorado from 1999-2010 found that the vast majority of death penalty prosecutions result in life sentences, pleas to lesser offenses or acquittals. Another study, in 2013, found that only 0.6 percent of first-degree murder cases resulted in death sentences. “The cost of death prosecutions in Colo-
Bid to OK medical pot for PTSD fails
e
Psychiatrists’ group sees ndrug doing more harm than good By Kristen Wyatt
Associated Press
Citing scant research, Colorado health officials voted against adding post-traumatic stress disorder to the list of ailments eligible for treatment with medical marijuana. The 6-2 vote on July 15 came despite a recommendation from Colorado’s chief medical officer and a panel of physicians to make PTSD the first condition added to Colorado’s medical pot eligibility list in 15 years. Board members said they weren’t swayed by the recommendation because studies on using pot for PTSD are lacking. “We can’t have physicians counseling people in favor of it because we don’t have data to show it’s correct,” said Jill Hunsaker-Ryan, who voted no. The vote was the third time the board has rejected petitions to add PTSD to the list. About five dozen PTSD sufferers attended the hearing, some loudly jeering. A few were asked to leave. “They just told every patient here, `We don’t care about you,’” said patient advocate Teri Robnett. Colorado allows adults over 21 to

buy pot for recreational use, with no doctor’s recommendation needed. But medical pot in Colorado is taxed at 2.9 percent, compared with at least 19 percent for recreational pot. Medical patients are allowed to possess twice as much marijuana — two ounces instead of one ounce. Since 2000, Colorado voters approved both medical and recreational pot legalization, while state government officials, including the ninemember health board, generally have resisted expanding marijuana access. Colorado had about 113,000 people on the medical marijuana registry in May, the most recent data available. About 6,300 were under 21. Patients seeking medical marijuana must get a doctor’s recommendation to use it to treat one of eight debilitating conditions, including cancer, AIDS, chronic wasting diseases, glaucoma, seizures, persistent muscle spasms, severe pain and severe nausea. More than 93 percent of current patients list severe pain as their condition. Colorado’s chief medical officer, Dr. Larry Wolk, who does not vote on the Board of Health, said that he once opposed pot to treat PTSD but changed his mind because of widespread reports of PTSD sufferers claiming pain as their ailment in order to get medical marijuana. PTSD sufferers are using pot any-
way, Wolk said, so those people would be better off talking to a doctor “rather than self-medicating through the legalized (pot) program.” A dozen veterans who testified Wednesday agreed, saying that vets routinely ask pot shop employees, not physicians, about using marijuana to treat PTSD. John Evans of the group Veterans for Freedoms criticized the board for opposing the expansion. “You are in support of use without treatment, because that’s what is happening,” he said. Colorado last year assembled a panel of doctors and medical marijuana advocates to review studies about the drug’s medical potential. The Medical Marijuana Scientific Advisory Council made its PTSD recommendation in April, saying the ailment could be added for a four-year trial. But the board sided with the American Psychiatric Society, which opposed the addition. “The science we have ... overwhelmingly demonstrates more harm than good at this point in time,” said Dr. Doris Gunderson, who testified on behalf of the group. Colorado has provided about $3.4 million for two other medical studies involving the use of pot for treatment of PTSD. Those studies are just getting started.
rado is high, and the execution yield is extraordinarily low,” Whitson’s study determined. Holmes’ appeals could be even more complex because of his mental illness. Doctors testified that he suffers from schizophrenia. If his mental state deteriorates while he is on death row, he may never be executed, Radelet said. “If he is sent to death row, we’re going to need dump trucks full of money to pay the mental health experts who will continue to argue this for the next 20 years,” Radelet said. “Even if Holmes is sane today, there will be inevitable questions about his sanity at the time of execution.” Part of the issue is Colorado’s uneasy relationship with the death penalty. The state abolished it in 1897, only to restore it in 1901, embarrassed by an outbreak of lynchings. The state’s lower legislative house voted to repeal the death penalty in 1999, but the effort stalled in the Senate. Lawmakers’ attempts to eliminate it again failed in 2009 and 2013. “You have this odd combination here for ambivalence on the part of prosecutors and juries and a statute that permits the imposition of death in most murders,” said Sam Kamin, a professor at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law who worked on Whitson’s study. “In some cases it was lack of resources, in some cases it was the belief that a jury wouldn’t impose it” or the victims’ families didn’t want it. The sparseness of Colorado’s death-row population is not necessarily due to lack of support for capital punishment. Nonpartisan Denver pollster Floyd Ciruli says support for the death penalty in Colorado polls has generally tracked those in national ones for decades. In 2013, a Quinnipiac University Poll indicated that 69 percent of Colorado voters backed capital punishment.

Mild memory problems worsen faster for women Men have only about a third of Alzheimer’s cases By Lauran Neergaard Associated Press
Older women with mild memory impairment worsened about twice as fast as men, according to research that illustrates the especially hard toll that Alzheimer’s takes on women. Nearly two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s are women. At age 65, seemingly healthy women have about a one-in-six chance of developing Alzheimer’s during the rest of their lives, compared with a one-in-11 chance for men. Scientists once thought the disparity was just because women tend to live longer — but there’s increasing agreement that something else makes women more vulnerable. A series of studies presented July 21 at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference uncovered signs of that vulnerability well before Alzheimer’s symptoms hit. First, Duke University researchers compared nearly 400 men and women with mild cognitive impairment, early memory changes that don’t interfere with everyday activities but that mark an increased risk for developing Alzheimer’s. They measured these people’s cognitive abilities over an average of four years — and as long as eight years for some participants. The men’s scores on an in-depth test of memory and thinking skills declined a point a year while the women’s scores dropped by two points a year. Age, education levels and even whether people carried the ApoE-4 gene that increases the risk of late-in-life Alzheimer’s couldn’t account for the difference, said Duke medical student Katherine Lin, who co-authored the study with Duke psychiatry professor Dr. P. Murali Doraiswamy. The study wasn’t large or long enough to tell if

women were more at risk for progressing to full dementia. The study couldn’t explain why the women declined faster, but scientists need to explore that further for clues into the gender difference. But two other studies presented July 21 offered additional hints of differences in women’s brains: • A sample of 1,000 participants in the large Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative compared PET scans to see how

Mock, mock — who’s there? Not Elvis No more. No more Elvis impersonators. “Cheesie.” Tiresome. Tedious. But they happen all the time, and none of them is Early Elvis, when he was great. It’s the Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich Elvis, when he was an unfortunate caricature. As you might imagine, there are Elvis impersonator contests and festivals, and you can go online and hire one, or a dozen, for your next event. Elvis impersonators have been around as long as Elvis has been around. The first one, Carl “Cheesie” Nelson was doing voice impersonations in 1954. I think his name says it all. I wish he had been the first and last. Nelson was from Arkansas, which is also very telling. Some impersonators impersonate Elvis’ voice, and others impersonate his appearance. There was a very good voice impersonator named Ral Donner. His one hit was “You Don’t Know What You’ve Got,” and if you didn’t know better, it was Elvis. Likewise Terry Stafford and “Suspicion.” Elvis recorded “Suspicion” in 1962, but it wasn’t a hit. Stafford came along in 1964 and covered it. It was so good (Top 10) that Presley’s version was re-released (reached #34). I don’t understand how anyone could be entertained by an Elvis impersonator. But some people are amused by Drew Carey. Shop at Pottery Barn. Why? When Elvis was relevant, he was very relevant.

Later he started to make dreadful movies. Later he shoe-polished his hair and wore capes. (So did Dracula.) That’s when the impersonators started to come out of the woodwork. It’s an industry. There have been movies. None of them is any good. Want to torture me? Strap me down and make me watch “Honeymoon in
Vegas.” I refuse to watch State Farm’s new commercial. Elvis impersonators. Las Vegas. Pink Cadillac. Stale. Banal. Humorless. Overworked. Trite. Thesaurus. Elvis is too easy. Why not Burl Ives? There is something called diminishing returns. Why would State Farm go to the well again? Elvis was born in 1935. It’s 2015. Maybe that had something to do with it. His 80th birthday. Woody Allen and Julie Andrews were born in 1935. I don’t see anyone impersonating them. Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker was born in 1935. What’s wrong with impersonating him? Uecker was hit in the head with a ball during the Brewers’ pre-game batting practice in
June. Nevertheless, he insisted upon calling the game, but referred to outfielder Ryan Braun as a “hunk of burning love” and pitcher Will Smith as a “hound dog.” I don’t know. I am often mystified by some of the choices we make. Even some of my own. Once or twice a week, I will get on YouTube, and one thing will lead to another and to another. That’s how I rediscovered Ral Donner for this column. Donner was only 41 when he died. Lung cancer. Terry Stafford was only 54 when he died. Liver failure. Elvis was only 42 when he died. “Drug use was heavily indicated.” Elvis died about a week before I moved to Colorado in 1977. My move went unreported. Barely noticed. Elvis’s death was widely reported, and he was “seen” for years. And we still see him, in unfavorable reminders. I will make one exception in these complaints. Performance artist Andy Kaufman. His Elvis impersonation was exceptional and almost better than the real thing. Kaufman was only 35 when he died. Kidney failure. True to his performances, many people thought that Kaufman faked his own death. No more Elvis counterfeits, please. Don’t be cruel.

It’s far better to sizzle than fizzle at finish line Have you ever been on a long hike or maybe a good run or walk where you know you are getting close to the finish and you either slow down to ease through the end, or you become even more energized and power through the finish line? Maybe you have experienced this same feeling at work or in other situations and projects. You know that feeling, right? That feeling when we have been working hard at something or for someone and we are nearing the point of frustration and perhaps even exhaustion. The feeling of quitting or giving up is palpable and could temporarily make things so much easier on us if we could just stop right where we are. Then that other feeling kicks in, that feeling of pride and resilience. This is when the expectation of winning intensifies and takes over as we know that if we can just push past the finish line we will feel a greater sense of accomplishment. So we dig in deeper to find the energy and strength to complete our workout, our project, and we end the race the way we know we want to finish. Now we may be tired, spent, and completely drained but the gratification that comes with pushing through and pushing past the obstacles and hurdles that were in front of us only makes the victory that much sweeter.
Recently many of you have reached out and shared your life stories with me, and I greatly appreciate those conversations and email exchanges. Some of you are feeling pushed and pulled in multiple directions, and for others things seem to be slipping Michael Norton through the cracks, causing heartache and WINNING frustration. And as I WORDS have shared with those of you who have written to me, we all face challenges, and it’s not a matter of “if” we ever face them, it’s “when” we will face them. And just like a long hike, power walk, run or grueling workout, when we face those challenges we have to push past the finish line running just as hard if not harder as when we first started. We need to replace the feelings of quitting or giving up with intensity and empowerment that lets us power through and complete what it is that we need to complete. Being pushed and pulled in multiple directions or being spread so thin where things
slip through the cracks happens when we are not completely focused and committed to our goal and where we are going and what we need to accomplish. There is only one person in the world who can ever stop us or dilute us to the point of inefficiency and that is ourselves. So as we learn to avoid those traps of being pushed and pulled, as we keep our focus on the completion of our tasks, projects, and goals, we will no doubt develop the attitude of not just easing into the end of our journey but rather powering and pushing past the finish line in all areas of our personal and professional lives. You have it in you, you are so close, don’t stop, don’t quit, push yourself past the finish line. How about you? Do you run harder as you know you are nearing the finish line or do you kind of ease on through? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we power and push through the finish line, it really will be a better than good week.

Heat poses avoidable risks to health The peak of summer is here. The hottest summer temperatures for the Denver and northeast Colorado area tend to occur in the second half of July, according to 30-year averages calculated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In my 25 years as an emergency medicine physician, I’ve seen the catastrophic effect heat can have on health, and many of the people we see while providing event support in the National Disaster Medical System need treatment for heat-related illnesses. On average, heat-related illnesses cause more than 600 deaths every year, and from 2001 to 2010 more than 28,000 people were hospitalized for heat-related illnesses. You can help keep yourself, your family and others around you out of the emergency department by watching for signs of heat stress. People suffering from heat-related illnesses may experience heavy sweating; weakness; cold, pale, and clammy skin; fast, weak pulse; and nausea or vomiting. Early
signs include muscle cramps, heat rash and GUEST fainting or near-fainting spells. If you believe COLUMN someone is suffering from a heat-related illness, they need to move to a cooler location and lie down; apply cool, wet cloths to the body; and sip non-alcoholic fluids. They should remain in the cool location until recovered. Signs that someone might be suffering from the most severe heat-related illness, heatstroke, include a body temperature above 103 degrees Fahrenheit; hot, red, dry or moist skin; rapid and strong pulse; and “altered mental status” that can range from confusion and agitation to possible unconsciousness. If you see someone exhibiting these signs, call 911 immediately; help the person move to a cooler environment; reduce the person’s body temperature with cool cloths soaked in ice water especially to head, neck, armpits and upper legs near the groin area

where combined 70 percent of body heat can be lost, or even a cool bath if you can stay with them to ensure they do not drown; and do not give them fluids. Children are especially vulnerable to heat illnesses, and can’t always tell us what is wrong. When it’s hot outside, consider any change in a child’s behavior as heat stress. Additionally, infants and children should never be left in a parked car, even if the windows are down. To help prevent heat-related illness: • Spend time in locations with air-conditioning. • Drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids. Good choices are water and diluted sport drinks, unless told otherwise by your doctor. • Choose lightweight, light-colored, loosefitting clothing • Limit outdoor activity to morning and evening hours • Protect yourself from the sun by wearing Heat continues on Page 10

Community organizations and businesses can help local emergency managers and health departments plan for the community’s health needs amid the summer heat — and other emergency situations that can cause power outages — using the new HHS emPOWER Map, located at phe.gov/empowermap. Heat-related illnesses are dangerous,
but they are also preventable. Take some time to learn more about ways to beat the heat so that you, your family, and your community can have a safer, healthier summer.

which seemed to make a difference for men with Alzheimer’s but not women. • Some seniors who undergo surgery with general anesthesia suffer lasting cognitive problems afterward, often expressed to doctors as, “Grandma was never the same after that operation.” On July 21, researchers reported that here again, women are at higher risk of getting worse. Dr. Katie Schenning of the Oregon Health & Science University tracked records of more than 500 participants in two long-term studies of cognitive aging, which included a battery of brain tests. About 180 participants underwent 331 procedures involving general anesthesia. Over seven years, people who had undergone surgery with general anesthesia declined faster on measures of cognition,
their ability to function and even brain shrinkage than people who hadn’t had surgery. But women declined at a significantly faster rate than men, Schenning said. “It is worth letting our older patients know that they should perhaps talk about this with their practitioner, that this is a possibility and consider whether or not they need to undergo procedures that are considered to be elective,” she said. Schenning didn’t have amyloid measurements for these people; other studies have suggested that the people most at risk may have brewing cognitive problems already. The anesthesia alone isn’t the culprit, she cautioned. Indeed, other research presented July 21 showed that surgery in general can spur inflammation-causing mol-
ecules to cross into the brain and impair how nerve cells communicate, regardless of gender. Together, the studies show how much more research is needed into gender differences that may increase the risk of Alzheimer’s, said Dr. Kristine Yaffe of UCSF, who wasn’t involved in the studies presented July 21 but was part of a recent Alzheimer’s Association meeting to start determining those next steps. “It’s not just that women are living to be older. There’s something else going on in terms of the biology, the environment, for women compared to men that may make them at greater risk, or if they have some symptoms, change the progression,” Yaffe said.

West Powers Avenue Block Party first to be sanctioned by city of Littleton By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com It was an unconventional way to begin a tradition. It was June 16, 1965, and residents of the Happy Homes neighborhood weren’t particularly happy. They’d been evacuated to the top of Goddard Hill, where the middle school would be built three years later. They were watching a wall of water roar slowly but thunderously toward their homes, north of Bowles Avenue between Federal and Lowell boulevards. “It came within four houses of ours,” said Frank Stasko, who lived on West Powers Avenue back then. “It was very intense. The Bowles bridge was flood-proof, but all the debris jammed under the bridge and the water went around and into the neighborhood.” None of their homes endured irreparable damage, but they were without power, telephone service and water for a couple of weeks. Stasko remembers having to lug water home from Harlow Pool, which was on Denver Water before the rest of the city was. His wife, Barb, remembers that her dad had a racehorse at the Centennial Race Track up the street on Federal. He went to try to save his and any others he could grab, blindfolding them so they wouldn’t see the danger they were in. But there was a bridge they wouldn’t cross, and her dad had to run to higher ground without them. The way the Staskos tell it, the horses were found the next day in the Woolworth’s drugstore, safe and sound behind the soda fountain. Others were found next door at the King Soopers grocery store, seeking shelter through the windows broken out by the
Old friends gather at Sterne Park to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their first block party, held on Goddard Hill as they watched the Flood of ‘65 approach their homes. Flood of ‘65. With the grocery stores wiped out and everybody’s power off, Barb Stasko remembers sharing among themselves, and one woman from Bow Mar loading up a van with food and delivering to those in needed. Frank Stasko remembers looters in the wake of the disaster, and the National Guard showing up to stand guard in front yards, issuing permits to those who lived there just to get into their own neighborhood. “It was every emotion you can imagine,” said Barb Stasko. “Some people came as spectators to laugh at people and make fun of them, because everything was covered in mud.”

But something good happened that evening on top of Goddard Hill. “We really bonded after that,” said Patsy Wilkinson, they only one of the West Powers Avenue neighbors who still lives in Happy Homes. “As we started to filter back into the neighborhood, we’d get together to drink a beer,” said Frank Stasko. “We kind of got to know each other that summer.” And thus the West Powers Avenue Block Party was born, the first city-sanctioned block party in Littleton. It came complete with street closures for races and games like “Bottle Caps” and “Pennies in the Haystack,” cook-outs and, of course, a keg for the grown-ups. The kids happily practiced for months to produce a play, “Jesus Christ Superstar” or “West Side Story,” perhaps. Parents helped sew cos-
tumes and build sets. Everyone says it changed the whole neighborhood for the better, and not just on block-party weekend. “We felt responsible for each other’s kids, and they would all mind all of us,” said Barb Stasko. “Today you have these helicopter parents,” added Frank Stasko. “Our kids had the run of the neighborhood, and they did what they wanted. But if they misbehaved, they would be reprimanded.” The tradition lasted 25 years, until the kids were mostly grown and gone. It ended with a bang, though, with a float in the Western Welcome Week parade. “I wish the neighbors would do it today,” said Wilkinson. “It makes a better neighborhood, and we feel safer. We tried it once, but it didn’t catch on.” But now some of the kids are grandparents themselves, and a few have died; the Westervales have outlived all four of their children. At the last funeral, everyone decided they needed to observe the 50th anniversary of that fateful day on Goddard Hill. “We really need to keep this connection going, because it’s more than a neighborhood, it’s family,” said Kim Morelli. They met at Sterne Park on June 19, coming from wherever they call home now, burgers and beer still in tow. But they come from a place that taught them what home really means. “It was the neighborhood watch before there was neighborhood watch,” said Suzanne Cordova, Wilkinson’s daughter. “And the kids all grew up to be family-oriented, all of us.” The Staskos, credited with having the idea for the first party, looked on with pride as generations of West Powers Avenue families celebrated each other. “I hope they learned to continue to connect eyeball to eyeball, with a handshake and a hug, a meaningful hug. It’s important,” said Frank Stasko. “I hope they learned a give-and-take attitude,” agreed his wife. “And that they found out how important love is.”

People also enjoyed two car shows, children’s activities such as bounce houses and games, arts and crafts, food and beer vendors, the raptors with HawkQuest and a variety of live music performances including jazz, country, rock ‘n’ roll, R&B, folkrock and Motown. The Best of the West Parade, always a popular attraction, boasted Colorado Community Media’s own John Tracy, and his wife, Jane, as grand marshals. Monarch Productions’ Cody’s Wild West re-enactment also drew a large crowd. The family-friendly show featured acts by The Cowboy and The Lady performing rope tricks, the Westernaires with a war reenactment, Native American dancing by Northern Wind of Pueblo, Mexican folk dancing by the Colorado Mestizo Dancers and the 79th Highlanders Pipe and Drum Corps. And people of all ages in the crowd were entertained with a shootoff between Little Sure Shot Annie Oakley and William Frederick Cody, aka Buffalo Bill.

Generations form bond over fishing
FISHING LOSING POPULARITY
By Nick Puckett
npuckett@colorado communitymedia.com
Knee deep in the north fork of the South Platte River, John Scialdone whips his fly rod back and forth across the water. With a flick of the wrist, he jerks the rod forward, sweeping the line through the air, landing it in the water. His cast is smooth and deliberate. Each movement carefully measured. Each stroke precise. It’s like he’s painting a masterpiece. Scialdone, from Gilbert, Arizona, and his grandson Jake, from Elkview, Pennsylvania, are standing in a stream 10 miles west of Bailey. They met in Colorado the day before for a three-day, guided fly-fishing tour. It’s Jake’s high school graduation present. The river running through the private ranch tucked away in a Rocky Mountain valley is still high. And on this mid-July morning, the 79-year-old man scores his first catch, a 17inch rainbow trout. His smile gives away his lighthearted demeanor. “I really enjoy being outside,” John said as he flings his line upstream again, “whether I catch anything or not.” A few minutes later, he hooks an 18-inch rainbow trout. Twenty feet downstream, Jake throws his line in an almost mirror image of his grandfather. He pays similar attention to the accuracy of each cast — an uncharacteristically gauged approach from the zealous, fast-talking 18-year-old. But, after all, it was his grandfather who taught him how to fish. The line pulls taut. It’s snagged on the river bottom. “I never stop talking about fishing,” Jake said, not missing a beat as he methodically casts again. “Ask my girlfriend.”
Teen is practiced fisherman
Studies show teens are least likely to want to learn to fish. But for Jake, the sport has been a part of his life since he was 3. He
Fly-fishing guide Tom Caprio advises Jake Scialdone on where to cast his line. caught his first trout at 7. The fishing stories and clichés he recites make him sound like an old pro. Jake and his grandfather, whom he calls Pop, meet once or twice a year to go fishing. On this trip, their guide, Tom Caprio, quickly runs through the basics of tension casting, a basic fly-fishing technique not like the romantic false casting you see in movies. Jake catches on quickly. His cast is effortless. His patience measured. His intuition distinct. Jake fishes regularly in a stream near his home 50 miles west of Philadelphia. “It’s more consistent,” Jake said of Pennsylvania fishing where nearly every cast returns a fish, usually a 5-inch brook trout, a species native to eastern North America but also found in the high Colorado mountains. “They’re a lot smaller ... I’d rather get a big one.” The line catches again — he’s got a bite. For two minutes, he fights to reel in the
20-inch brown trout. After a photo shoot with what would be the largest catch of the day, Jake sets it back in the net and takes his own photos so he can draw pictures of it later. He draws every fish he catches, as long as it’s 16 inches long — that’s his rule. As a freshman in high school, Jake played football, but he suffered six concussions that forced him to quit. “That’s when I really started fishing,” Jake said. “It’s all I really had besides music.” He plays the drums and teaches guitar lessons part-time. He landed a part-time job at a local fish market and began deep-sea fishing for prize fish, usually worth about $150, but sometimes thousands of dollars. Fishing in streams or lakes can be more fun than in the ocean, Jake said, “until you catch a fish,” because they’re smaller. “The scenery isn’t as good either,” he added. “Colorado is awesome.”
In 2014, 9.9 million people gave up fishing while 8.7 million started, reflecting a decrease in the pastime’s popularity, according to a fishing report sponsored by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation and the Outdoor Foundation. The report can be found on takemefishing.org. Jake Scialdone, 18, attributes this to a lack of excitement caused by little success in the water. “A lot of kids get bored,” Jake said. “If you don’t have the right technology and don’t catch a lot of fish, you get bored.” Among adults 45 and older, 43 percent said they were considering picking up the sport, according to the report, compared to only 6.6 percent of teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 — the least likely demographic to be interested in the sport. The report suggested a main factor to its low popularity was that only 37 percent of teenagers think outdoor activities are “cool.” Some 41.5 percent of first-time adult anglers said the sport was “uninteresting” or “time-consuming.” “I feel like people say that when they don’t catch anything,” said Scialdone. “It’s all boring until you hook into a 30-inch cutthroat.” The type of fishing can also make a difference in the sport’s excitement, fishing guide Tom Caprio said. “One thing with fly-fishing,” he said, “it’s very active” compared to bait fishing. “When you have kids … you want to go to places with a lot of action.”
‘Up for something new’ Upstream, John continues casting. Unrushed, he watches the fly float downstream as far as the line will give before snapping it out of the water and back upstream. After a while, he wades farther into the water, waist-deep in the fast-moving rapids. John has been fishing since he was 8 years old, but picked up fly-fishing only six years ago. “I keep hearing people say it’s the only true way to catch trout,” said John, “so I figured I’d try it.” He gives another of his trademark, ear-to-ear smiles. “I’m always up for something new.” Hook continues on Page 16

fish.” When John was 9, he and his brother fished in the local canal. The two would bring home long strings of small, scaly, inedible fish. “What the hell you going to do with those?” he recalled his father would ask. “You going to clean them?” They ended up burying the fish as fertilizer. John chuckled at the memory. “We caught gobs of fish. We must’ve caught 50, 60 fish,” he
• Cast near the shoreline for more bites. • Larger fish enjoy larger insects, like locusts and grasshoppers. • Know what type of casting is appropriate for the region you’re fishing. False casting works better when the fish rise to the surface, said Caprio. “False casting … can get messy,” said Caprio. “If the fish aren’t rising, there’s no point. If you want to catch fish, tension casting is the way to go.”

said. “From that day on, I knew that I could catch fish. That’s really when I fell in love with it.”
Grandfather shares fish tales At lunch, the grandfather recounted the time a property owner shot at him for floating on a private, Colorado river. Everyone within earshot was glued. He rehashes old fishing tales like a veteran might with war stories. Jake has heard the story probably
FISHING TIPS • Fish tend to congregate in areas where the water turns from shallow to deep to find food. “Trout are energy efficient,” said fly-fishing guide Tom Caprio. Instead of going out to find food, he said, fish will stay in one place and catch the insects floating in the current.
7. Cherry Creek Reservoir Fish: Largemouth Bass, Wiper, Crappie, Common Carp, Perch, Walleye, Bluegill, Rainbow Trout
• The best time to go fishing is around sunrise when the water is colder. • Research the region you will be fishing in to find out what kinds of fish live there and the things they like. Caprio inspects the water for the types of bugs floating in the current to see what the fish will be feeding on that day. • Check the local fishing reports that day for updates on areas where fish are biting. • Go with a guide — beginner or veteran. “You can shortcut the learning curve,” said Caprio. “There’s different techniques. What guides can do is help learn how to do them, even for some people who have been fishing for years.”

a hundred times. He’s the most engaged. For Jake, who fishes more often than he plays video games, the stories never get old. After his fourth catch of the day, Jake posed with a one-handed “hero’s grip” and smiled. He didn’t bother taking a picture of the 10-inch rainbow — too small to immortalize in a drawing. He returned to the same hole. For Jake, fishing is an escape.
He said he likes the solitude. “I’m away from people,” he said. “People are OK, but I get irritated to a point. Fishing, you’re outside by yourself. It gives you an excuse to do something.” He paused casting for a moment and looked upstream at his Pop. “But you’re out here … When you look up, you look around, you realize where you are.”
Guide has multitude of roles By Nick Puckett
npuckett@colorado communitymedia.com Fishing guide Tom Caprio doesn’t bring his own rod when he goes fishing — well, he’s not really fishing. His job is to make sure other people catch fish. Caprio, 55, guides fly-fishing tours for Colorado Fly Fishing Adventures and founded Mountain Escapes, a mountain adventure tour business in Colorado and New Mexico. During the winter, Caprio teaches ski lessons. He began guiding fly-fishing tours six years ago. For this trip to a river in a private ranch 10 miles west of Bailey, he lends two rods to his clients, John Scialdone and his grandson Jake Scialdone. Caprio leads John and Jake to a rocky bank. Armed with a 20-inch net tucked at his side, four fly-fishing rods, knee pads, and a backpack full of water and first-aid equipment, he almost looks like he’s ready for war. Caprio gives a crash course on tension casting, a fly-fishing technique where the angler casts his or her rod upstream and slowly reels in the line as the fly floats downstream. The more well-known false-casting technique, where the user whips the line back and forth several times before landing it in the water, is used more when fish are rising toward the surface, he explained. “This job is part photographer, part guide … part baby sitter,” he said with a laugh as he freed a hook from his palm. “Part getting hooks out my hand.” All day Caprio changes flies, untangles lines and provides advice to John and Jake.
Tom Caprio talks Jake Scialdone through reeling in his first catch of the day. Caprio, a professional fly-fishing guide, uses a net 20 inches in diameter to scoop the fish out of the water once it’s reeled in by an angler.

Good times brewing at RiNo hotel New Belgium Brewing is about to let the creative juices flow through a new 10-barrel pilot brewery at The Source Hotel in Denver’s River North District, which is slated to start construction later this summer. New Belgium will brew on the ground floor of the Source Hotel, with barrel aging on the eighth floor in a rooftop lounge dubbed The Woods, a collaboration between New Belgium and The Source Hotel. The Woods will serve New Belgium beers paired with small plates and will include a snack counter and bar, sit-down dining and beer garden. The eighth floor will also include a pool and rooftop deck with mountain and downtown views. “After 25 years in Fort Collins, we’re really excited to get more deeply involved in Colorado’s cultural and political capital,” said Jenn Vervier, director of strategy and sustainability at New Belgium. “We’ve long considered creating a Denver location to bring the New Belgium experience to more of our Colorado fans and to the millions of travelers who visit Denver. RiNo is already a vivid scene with a rich art and craft beer culture, and will soon have great access for bikers and walkers. This small batch brewery will allow us to collaborate with The Woods’ chef and mixologists to create innovative beers, drinks and pairings you can’t get anywhere else. The Source Hotel and the Zeppelin Development team are the perfect fit.” To learn more about New Belgium Brewing, check out www.NewBelgium. com, and for more on The Source, visit www.TheSourceDenver.com.

Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake, a sister restaurant to the popular Highland Tap and Burger, will be the first tenant in the sevenblock, $300 million development of Sloans, a restaurant, retail and residential neighborhood directly south of Sloan’s Lake. The 177-acre project will be the second largest in the Mile
High City. Alexan Sloan’s Lake, occupying blocks five and six of the seven-block Sloans project, is a new 369-unit luxury apartment development by Trammell Crow Residential. Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake is the newest endeavor from Juan Padro and his wife, Katie O’Shea-Padro, owners of LoHi’s award-winning Highland Tap and Burger. The 4,600-square-foot Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake space, at 1565 Raleigh St., is part of TCR’s 10,000-square-foot ground level retail and restaurant development. “Being a part of a community is superimportant to us, and this project really lends itself to embracing the Sloan’s Lake community,” Padro said. ”We were encouraged, as I hope others will be, by the fact that we have a compelling opportunity to contribute to the future growth of such a dynamic neighborhood. It’s a super-active area — you’ve got apartments,
homes with back yards, a great walkability factor, the park and the lake — that’s bolstered by a ton of football traffic and thousands of cars that use Colfax to get in and out of downtown.” Tap and Burger at Sloan’s Lake is scheduled to begin construction in late fall, and Padro plans to open in March 2016. The Alexan Sloan’s Lake project includes high-design studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments. Construction on the apartments is underway with the first units delivering in October.

Gallery curator Trish Sangelo said there were 156 entries from 32 artists. More than half were selected for the exhibit, which runs through Aug. 14. There are paintings, drawings, photographs, mixed media works and some crafts. Gigi Lambert, an art instructor at ACC, was juror. An interesting, textured painting of hers hangs at the entrance with her statement. She said she tried to pick a diverse group of works, considering structure, color and form, with a particular interest in structure. She awarded Best of Show to photographer Kathie Ballah for her striking black and white photo named “Steel in Motion.” Ballah said she shot it during a visit to the Kyoto Train Station. Second place went to artist Barbara Veatch, a former Metropolitan State art instructor, for her mixed media piece, “Tangled Garden,“ (charcoal, pastels, ink and collage). Third was for Becca Murray’s up-close watercolor rendering of a cob of sweet corn, “Corn #3.” Honorable mentions were divided into 2D and 3D categories and went to Forrest Plesko, Roseanne Sterne, Karl Krauss, Helen Shaffer, Zacharie Ruhter, Martha Canum, Nancy Myer, Helen Hutchinson and Helen Shaffer.

Museum blooms with floral art
Impressionist pieces bring brilliant colors to galleries By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com It starts in the plaza in front of the Hamilton Building at the Denver Art Museum, with groupings of 15 species of plants and fanciful large purple faux flowers, leading the visitor inside past the Flower Studio, where one can create or watch artists at work on weekends. “In Bloom: Painting Flowers in the Age of Impressionism” is being exhibited at the museum, and on the second floor, the main galleries are filled with about 60 brilliantly colored floral still life paintings ranging from the late 17th century to the early 20th century. A mural depicts artist Pierre Joseph Redout’s School of Botanical Drawing, where fashionable young ladies in gauzy white frocks learned to draw and paint flowers — a proper pursuit. Museum walls are painted in pastels and brighter colors and windows are cut in them so one almost has a sense of looking out into the garden — or a painting across the room is framed. This exhibit originated with the Dallas Museum of Art’s Dr. Heather MacDonald (now with the Getty Foundation) and Dr. Mitchell Merling, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond. Denver is the final tour stop and the local curator is Angelica Daneo, associate curator of painting and sculpture at the Denver Art Museum. Daneo pointed out the transition from 18th-century realism, with its accuracy of petals and leaves — although the bouquet may be imaginary since not all flowers shown would have been blooming at the same time and today’s airborne blooms were not even conceived of. In the 19th century, many of the Impressionists had their own gardens and would gather a bouquet, tuck it in a vase and proceed to paint, revitalizing the genre. (Daneo commented that the famous Cezanne was not as successful with florals because he worked so slowly that his flowers would fade and droop before he finished.) Degas, Renoir and Pissaro are also represented. Less formal compositions and

Courtesy photos looser brushwork typifies the Impressionists’ work. One even has some dead flowers, strewn with cherries on a table. A wall area is devoted to Manet paintings, which are small and lovely — created at the end of his life. Perhaps his wife gathered flowers from his garden and arranged them for him, Daneo speculated. Vincent Van Gogh arrived in Paris in 1886 and was influenced to try floral still lifes. It was inexpensive to experiment. His sunny bouquet of blue cornflowers and red poppies just says “summer is here.” A scented garden space with a large photomural of Monet in his garden at Giverny offers cards perfumed by flowers shown in the mural. Also on the second floor: “The Four Seasons of Veronica Read” (2002) is a four-screen video installation of an English woman who keeps over 900 Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) bulbs in her two bedroom apartment — each producing one bloom a year. She talks about her passion.

IF YOU GO Tattered Cover Aspen Grove is located at Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue in Littleton. Mary Kubica will appear at 7 p.m. August 7.
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Chicago’s cold, wet winter weather is almost another character in Mary Kubica’s new psychological thriller “Pretty Baby” as the reader feels the discomfort of any character who ventures outside. (Kubica lives near Chicago with her husband and two children.) The story takes place in a short period of time, but the author’s style of having each of three characters tell their stories in separate chapters gives several years of background for each, filling in gaps that draw threads together towards an unsettling climax. Heidi Wood, a charitable woman who works with young people for a nonprofit agency, is at the Fullerton Station, about to board her train for home, when she sees a teenage girl in an olive green jacket, with a small baby tucked inside that jacket. She is begging for money and looks so desperate that Heidi is haunted by the image. Author Mary Kubica, whose popular first book was “The Good Girl,” will appear at 7 p.m. on Aug. 7 at the Tattered Cover Aspen Grove to meet
“Pretty Baby” is a new novel by Mary Kubica, who is scheduled for an appearance at the Tattered Cover Aspen Grove on Aug. 7. Courtesy photos readers and discuss her new title. Heidi offers to buy lunch for the girl — her name is Willow and her baby is Ruby, Heidi is told. Willow has been living on the streets, on restaurant discards, with just enough cash to buy formula for the baby. And Heidi, enchanted with the pretty blue-eyed baby, impulsively
invites the pair to go home with her — to the intense discomfort of her husband, Chris, a successful businessman, and her teenager, Zoe. Segments of the story are told by Heidi, Chris and Willow — with background about each interspersed that brings them together in a pleasant Chicago apartment. Twelve-year-old daughter Zoe sulks and slams her bedroom door — I know 12s are difficult, but this one is especially annoying! And we don’t get to hear her thoughts, which might add another facet to the story. She is undoubtedly jealous of the pretty baby Ruby, with whom Heidi becomes unhealthily obsessed. Days turn into weeks as Chris tries to find out where the forlorn pair has come from at the same time as we learn the answer from Willow’s horrifying segments. We think of mysteries and international spy tales as thrillers — and this book falls into that “page turner” category.

Phamaly’s ‘Cabaret’ not a production for the family By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Lights go up on the Emcee as the orchestra swings into “Willkommen” and the audience is transported to Berlin and the seedy 1930 Kit Kat Klub. But, in this production of the Tony Award winning “Cabaret,” there are two Emcees who perform in tandem: Daniel Traylor, a Phamaly Theatre Company veteran, with a hearing disability, strong voice and vibrant persona, sings while New York-based deaf actor Garrett Zuercher signs the words with exceptionally graceful hands. The pair moves in tandem — almost in a danced duet. A bit distracting in the beginning, but it fits into a textured pattern, constant motion, carefully choreographed by Debbie Stark and her daughter, Ronnie Gallup, with attention to lighting. The band, led by music director Mary Dailey, is located up high in the theater-in-the round — in a balcony area, where a section of seats has been removed. It’s backlit and
IF YOU GO “Cabaret” is presented by Phamaly Theatre Company in the Space Theatre, Denver Center Performing Arts Complex, through Aug. 9. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sunday.

works well, with the sound nicely balanced. This unique presentation is a decision of director Bryce Alexander, who auditioned and recruited the New York-based Zuercher, an Equity actor, to perform in this challenging musical, an edgier choice than the Phamaly Theatre Company’s usual summer musical production. (Think “Fiddler on the Roof” and “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”) Alexander spent time studying the history of Weimar Germany and learned that handicapped performers were hired to perform in 1930s Berlin night clubs. They were also among the first to be hauled away to concentration camps when Hitler came into
power. That dark cloud hangs over the scenes throughout the musical. Now we say “differently abled” and pretty much forget that aspect of this remarkable company once a performance is underway. In its 26th season, Phamaly seems solidly established and is looking ahead to a combination of edgier fare, children’s theater and standards. Watch for them in a theater near you! Jeffry Palmer plays writer Cliff Bradshaw, who has come to Berlin to finish his book. His real-life wife, Lindsay Palmer, plays the Kit Kat’s feature singer, sexy Sally Bowles, who moves in with him, in a parallel story, while Lucy Roucis (Fraulein Schneider) and Mark Disette (Herr Schultz) play out their sad romance. Strains of the Nazi anthem, “The Future Belongs to Me,” float in often enough to keep the audience on edge — including renditions by the unsavory Fraulein Kost (Ashley Kelashian) and dishonest businessman Ernst Ludwig (Trent Schindle). The second act gets a bit jumbled due to the size of the cast in a smallish playing space. Probably Alexander and the choreographers will work with the actors to smooth out large numbers. This is a strong production and one adult theater lovers will want to see. (Leave the littler kids at home.)

‘Southpaw’ is tale of transformation
Gyllenhaal gives impressive performance as boxer Billy Hope
ABOUT THE MOVIE “Southpaw,” a Weinstein Co. release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “language throughout and some violence.” Running time: 119 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.
By Jake Coyle
Associated Press If you’ve ever wondered what might have happened to Job if he had a strong left hook, “Southpaw” may be the film for you. The rapid descent of light heavyweight champ Billy Hope (Jake Gyllenhaal) in Antoine Fuqua’s boxing drama is of biblical proportions. Not weeks after Hope — rich, happy, successful — has defended his belt and unblemished record, a fatal altercation strips him of his family, his mansion and his career. This being a boxing film, redemption is as much a certainty as a training montage. But Fuqua, an avid boxer himself, has pushed the pugilist parable even further. “Southpaw” is downright Old Testament. As a tale of transformation, “Southpaw” functions two ways. There’s the story of Billy Hope striving to build his life back. And then there’s the tale of the actor who plays him. The latter packs the bigger punch. Our first real view of Gyllenhaal is of him streaming toward the camera, emerging from a hazy blur a snarling, bloody spit of rage, rampaging across the ring. The shot, in a way, is fitting. Gyllenhaal, as one of the most exciting leading men in Hollywood, is coming into focus, even as he’s eluding the frame. His maturation as an intense, all-in shape-shifter has become especially clear of late in films like “Nightcrawler” and “Prisoners.” “Southpaw” is him romping in his new weight class. Much has already been made of Gyllenhaal’s bulking up for “Southpaw,” and it’s indeed impressive. But beyond the startling sight of the actor we once knew as Donnie Darko covered in muscles and tattoos, Gyllenhaal’s performance is most dynamic in his tender, mumbled moments with his wife, Maureen (Rachel McAdams), or daughter, Leila (Oona Laurence). Outside of the ring, his Billy Hope sounds like a guy who’s been knocked around. Fuqua plunges immediately into Hope’s title defense against a brash rival Miguel Escobar (Miguel Gomez). The director (“Training Day,” “The Equalizer”) prefers a visceral directness (he has made a comeback movie about a boxer named Hope, after all) and he’s favored a far more straightforward, accurate view inside the ring than,
say, the impressionistic poetry of Scorsese’s “Raging Bull.” Instead, Fuqua and cinematographer Mauro Fiore have shot their fight scenes like broadcast television, copying its camera angles and piping in the commentary of announcers Jim Lampley and Roy Jones Jr. For better or worse, the fight scenes of “Southpaw” almost feel more like a payper-view stream than a movie. Realism, though, is soon swapped for melodrama thicker than a heavy bag. As Hope and his wife exit a gala fundraiser, Escobar taunts him. Unable to resist, Hope reacts and a melee ensues that leaves Maureen dead from a stray bullet. It’s a wrenching, chaotic scene (McAdams is on a good, grittier run of late) that’s followed by more tragedy. As Hope spirals, his daughter is taken away from him and the money suddenly dries up. His promoter-manager (Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson) is little help as Hope wallows, adding the inevitable suffix of his second act: “less.” Once rock bottom is sufficiently reached for maximum eventual payoff, Hope begins righting himself in that fountain of redemption: the rundown boxing gym. Who cannot be healed by its sweaty waters? He turns to an unglamorous trainer named Tick Willis (the reliably excellent Forest Whitaker), who spouts all the wisdom of boxing and life that a corner man should. He teaches Billy precision and selfdefense, turning him into a fighter in control of his emotions. If the footwork of “Southpaw,” written by Kurt Sutter (“Sons of Anarchy”), is never light as a feather, its heart is seldom in doubt. The solid acting, led by Gyllenhaal and Whitaker, liven up the clichés, and Fuqua’s deep affection for the sport gives the movie a brisk, entertaining earnestness. In bloody close-ups and bruising sounds, Fuqua captures the blinding brutality inside the ring. But his faith is never in question: This is a parable that believes strongest in boxing, itself.

Aces in t he hol e

A hole-in-one takes luck, but skill and strategy don’t hurt
By Jim Benton
FUN FACTS
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com
If Bill Loeffler could do it over again, he would have saved each of the golf balls he used to make a hole-in-one. The 58-year-old Douglas County resident, who owns The Links Golf Course in Highlands Ranch, would have quite a collection: He’s made 14 aces. But he didn’t keep any of the balls. “I should have, but now it’s too late,” said Loeffler, Loeffler a member of the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame who played two years on the PGA tour. “The first hole-in-one was at Cherry Hills Country Club. It was on No. 6, and I was 12 years old. I missed the ball. I almost topped it. It hardly got in the air, rolled all the way down and up the hill. They are all lucky, but that was probably the luckiest one.” Even for players with resumes like Loeffler’s, it doesn’t hurt to be near a four-leaf clover when it comes to marking a “1” on a scorecard. “A hole-in-one is a very lucky Part 3 of 3 on finding shot,” said Pat Tait, ways to get better head professional at and get more at Raccoon Creek enjoyment out of golf. in south Jefferson County. “There’s a lot of skill to where it starts out, but when that ball goes in the hole, it requires a lot of goodness. It’s quite a feat and a very exciting time for the person that gets it.” How rare is an ace? One is recorded only once every 3,500 rounds, according to the National Hole-In-One Registry. The odds of a player doing it twice in a round? That would be 67 million to 1, the registry says. But it’s not all chance. Playing a lot of golf

GAME
• California and Texas see the most holes-in-one, accounting for 9 percent each of the aces made in the nation. • Titleist balls account for 45 percent of all holes-inone. Nike is second at 15 percent. • Two players, one from California and one from Michigan, have recorded at least one career ace right-handed and at least one left-handed.

At The Links Golf Course in Highlands Ranch, this is what you get for a hole-in-one. Photos by Jim Benton and being good at it are factors. Jason Preeo, a MetaGolf instructor at Broken Tee and the boys golf coach at Valor Christian, said it takes a combination of skill and luck to get an ace. He’s made five of them, by the way. “There’s the expression, ‘The better you are, the luckier you get,’” said Preeo, who has played in the U.S. Open. “For the most part, that is true. If you hit the ball close to the hole every fifth shot instead of every 10th shot, your odds for a hole-in-one go up.” Club selection is one of the keys to improving the odds of collecting an ace, Loeffler said. “The amateurs I play with in pro-ams, 95 percent of them are always short,” he said. “I keep telling them to take a half-club more
or whatever. Just take more club to get there. You can’t make a hole-in-one if you can’t get the ball to the hole. Most people don’t take enough club. Distance is the key.” Players of all ages and abilities can attest to that. Pat Allen, an 89-year-old, once-a-week player from Littleton, used an 8-iron to ace the 70-yard fifth hole on the par-3 course at Foothills Golf Course on June 15. She has been playing for 49 years. “It was a lot of fun,” Allen said. “Before I croak, I hope to have another one. That was my first, and I intend to take it with me when I go. “I hit the ball, and it was a pretty shot. It went across the small water that was there, and it landed on the green and went ‘plop.’
I realized it, but I wasn’t sure until I heard one of my fellow playmates say it went in the hole — and that’s when I went ‘Whoopie!’” Walker Kurtz, 12, just started playing golf last summer, but he made a hole-in-one in June on the 143-yard first hole on South Suburban’s par-3 course in Centennial with a 9-iron. “I was really surprised because I didn’t know what happened,” the Centennial resident said. “I needed a minute to take it all in. I was really excited. “I didn’t realize at first what an accomplishment it was, but now that everyone has told me about it, it’s kind of gotten really cool. I guess it was beginner’s luck.”

Racing ’hobby’ keeps him on track Centennial driver finishes second at Mile High Nationals By Jim Benton

J.J. Heber of Centennial fininshed second in the Top Sportsman divison at the Mopar Mile High Nationals. Heber, left, is pictured with his dad and mechanic, Gary.
Driving a race car more than 190 mph can be addictive, and J.J. Heber is hooked. Heber, a 39-year-old Centennial resident, leads the National Hot Rod Association’s Division 5 region Top Sportsman standings by 19 points over Jim White of Haysville, Kansas. “I’ve been doing this since high school,” said Heber, who is in the landscape business. “I’m addicted. It’s more addictive than anything else. It’s a hobby. We just do it as a family hobby, my mom and dad, wife and kids. I don’t make enough money to make it real. It gets expensive.” Heber, driving a 2006 Mustang, had one of the best cars at the Mopar Mile High Nationals, but a bad reaction at the start of the July 26 title race against Longmont’s Ron Williams was costly as he wound up the Top Sportsman runner-up. “In the finals, I lost the beams and missed the tree,” he
explained. “I pushed it all the way that I could and tried to break him out and instead I broke out. We were pretty consistent all day. We were happy.” Heber, whose father Gary is in charge of the mechanical work on the car, reached 192.55 mph but couldn’t catch Williams before the finish line. “Dad does all the technical work,” Heber said. “I just drive the car and maintain it. It’s still a definite adrenaline rush to drive the car.” For the first time, the NHRA has a national award for Top Sportsman drivers where the best results in three of five national races plus divisional results are calculated to determine a winner. He is currently sixth in the standings. “It’s been a consistent year,” said Heber. “We don’t have any wins yet but got a lot of round wins, and we’re happy with that. We want to win the world championship this year and the division championship and go to the Jegs All-Stars. “I don’t have time to watch a movie not because of the car but because we have three kids, chasing them around playing soccer, baseball and lacrosse. They all love to come to the races but I don’t let them get involved in racing. I want them to play sports through high school.” Heber, however, will continue to race. He will compete in Sonoma, California, July 31 through Aug. 2 and will enter two more national events in St. Louis and Dallas.
Pros race it out on the mountain
Torrence edges Shumacher for win By Scott Stocker
There are always a lot of various thoughts and plans for drivers in the National Hot Rod Association when the organization heads into Bandimere Speedway
in Morrison. After all, the track rests a little over a mile high on the side of a mountain. Steve Torrence, who hails from Kilgore, Texas, felt he pulled out a fantastic win in last weekend’s Mile High Nationals in the sports top classification, Top Fuel. He defeated Tony Schumacher with a championship pass of 3.925 seconds at 319.37 miles-per-hour while his foe was clocked in 3.94 seconds, 305.08 mph.
“I just think this is fantastic to win on the side of the mountain and a victory here that will always stand out for me,” said Torrence, who garnered his fifth career win. “I’m gaining confidence and I want to do whatever it takes to be successful. I got my first win against Tony today, but I was able to beat a lot of tough guys this week. I’m very gratified as I’ve never won on the mountain before and it’s certainly a good
beginning to our western swing.” Defending Mile High Top Fuel champion J.R. Todd, from Indianapolis, qualified in the No. 9 position but was unable to win his second round encounter against Larry Dixon, also from Indianapolis. He beat Antron Brown to open the final round. Dixon, though, didn’t fare much better Mile High continues on Page 27

Arvada woman rules the quarter-mile Golden man finishes second in Stock Eliminator By Scott Stocker Arvada’s Victoria Johnson proved women can compete with the finest drivers when it comes to racing on the country’s quarter-mile drag strips. Johnson won the Top Dragster classification in last week’s National Hot Rod Association’s Mile High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. And she was able to beat Adam Chioda, who lives in Frederick with a 7.201-second effort at 186.46 mph. Choida ran 7.974 seconds at a “slow” 161.85 mph. As it turned out, Johnson was one of three Colorado drivers with victories in the six, non-professional divisions. Joining her with victories over the quarter-mile track were Bill Percival of Highlands Ranch in Super Comp and Ron Williams of Longmont in Top Sportsman. “Having the opportunity to race in the Mile High Nationals here at Bandimere just makes me feel good,” said Johnson. “We

Funny Car
It also was a short day for Mile High o defending Funny Car champ Robert Hight of Yorba Linda, California, as his car blew - a tire a little more than halfway down the h half-mile track in the first round. As a result, he headed for the pits as Tony Pet dregon, out of Brownsburg, Indiana, won e with a pass of 4.316 seconds. Yet it was a worse day for heralded p NHRA champion John Force in Funny Car, - who just happens to be Hight’s father-in- law. As it turned out, he lost to eventual Mile High winner Jack Beckman in the die vision’s championship race. Not only that, y r . e crossword d e I

just put so much out and this is such a joy. It felt fantastic after Friday’s qualifying and I felt confident we could win on Sunday. My key was just to stay calm and I was able to pull it out.” The top qualifier in Johnson’s division was Michael Candelairo of Brighton. However, he failed to reach the finals. Ironically, none of the other top qualifiers in the six amateur divisions reached the finals in any of the six classes. Four were from Colorado. Percival fashioned a pass of 9.5 seconds at 156.39 mph to defeat Brighton’s Justin Ewing, who ran 9.541 seconds at 150.98 mph. He only wished his brother Brian could have come out victorious in Super Gas rather than having to settle for runnerup. Brian lost to Michael Miller from Santa Fe as he ran 10.518 seconds at 131.95 mph to his opponent’s 10.539 seconds at 131.95 mph. “This event is great and it felt good and incredible,” Percival said. “I had the car and I felt our team could do good. Not making any mistakes was the way to win. It just would have been a lot better had Brian been able to also pull out a victory.”
Indeed, Brian was a bit depressed by not pulling out his victory, yet pleased with the overall efforts over the weekend. “This is a big race and for us to reach the finals was great in our classes was fine,” Brian said. “To win races on the Mountain is great for me and my brother. We’ve both made finals in other events in our careers, but the Mile Highs is the first time in a national event that we both reach the finals in our classes on the same day.” The Top Sportsman division also featured tow Colorado finalists, Ron Williams of Longmont and JJ Heber from Centennial. Williams, who qualified in the 17th position, basically pulled out the win at the starting line. He came through with a .004-second reaction time at the green light to Heber’s .164 –second effort. Littleton’s Jim Hawkins couldn’t pull out the victory in the Super Stock class as he was beaten by Dan Fletcher of Churchville, New York. Golden’s Scott Burton finished second in Stock Eliminator, beaten by Ryan Montford of Wichita, Kansas. Burton clocked a pass of 11.35 seconds at 98.98 mph to Montford’s 10.028 seconds at 119.04 mph.
it was a second straight loss in the finals of the Mile Highs for Force in his category.
6.994 second pass at 199.07 mph. “I guess he didn’t want to stage right away and I guess I didn’t, either. This is a great win for me on such a fine race track and I was so excited to win. Allen has done a great job up here in the past and he’s earned his places. This week, I just want to borrow it.” Unfortunately, it also was a short day on the track for Lakewood’s V. Gains in Pro Stock. He was eliminated in the first round, beaten by Shane Gray of Denver, North Carolina. Gaines recorded a quicker run timewise, 6.952 to Gray’s 6.955. It’s just that Gray was quicker off the line when the green light flashed. And, yes, there is another city of Denver in the country.
Pro Stock
Pro Stock’s defending Mile High champion, Allen Johnson, drew a bye in the first round the easily advanced to the finals. However, he was beaten by Larry Morgan in the championship race. It was Morgan’s second career win in Denver as he came through in 1990. Johnson, by the way, was seeking his fourth consecutive win at Bandimere as well as his sixth win in his last nine appearances on the side of the mountain after easily winning his first two races enroute to the finals. This final, by the way, took a little bit longer than normal due to staging. Neither driver was anxious to get ready on the starting line as it took nearly two minutes for them to stage their green light. “I was actually worrying about running out of fuel,” said Morgan, who clocked a

Eddie Krawiec, from Brownsburg, Indiana, came through with his third win at Bandimere winning in Pro Stock Motorcycle. He edged Hector Arana Jr. of Miltown, Indiana, with a pass of 7.230 seconds to his foe’s 7.239.

“It’s a long road trip on the western swing and you never know when you are going to get a win,” said Krawiec. “There is just a lot of great competition in all our categories and I got this one on the hole shot. It takes a lot of work and effort to dig out a win on the mountain and there are just so many changes that have to be made at this altitude. My cycle has been fast and consistent and I just look forward to the rest of the season and our western trip.” Littleton’s Mike Berry was the only Colorado rider in Pro Stock Motorcycle. He failed to reach the final 16, running 17th in the qualifier. “We have a new motor and we have been fighting this summer,” Berry said. “I’ve missed the last two events as I’ve had a friend out of work and I’ve wanted to help him. It’s good to be back and I just love to be at the races on our track here at Bandimere.”
SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JULY 27, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A bit of Arian contrariness could be keeping you from getting all the facts. Turn it off, and tune in to what you need to hear. It could make all the difference this week. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Getting an answer to a vital question involving financial matters might take longer than you’d expected. A new factor might have to be dealt with before anything can move forward. Be patient. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Use your good sense to see what might really be driving a colleague’s workplace agenda. What you learn could lead to a new way of handling some old problems.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A change of mind might once again turn out to be a good thing. True, most of your co-workers might not like the delay, but as before, they might appreciate what follows from it. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You revel in golden opportunities this week. One cautionary note, though: Be careful to separate the gold from the glitter before you make a choice. Someone you trust can help. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Marriage is important this week, as are other partnerships. Don’t let yourself be overwhelmed by sentiment. Instead, try to steer a path between emotion and common sense. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Dealing with someone who has let you down is never easy. But the sooner you’re able to clear up this problem, the sooner other problems can be successfully handled. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A “friend” who is willing to bend the rules to gain an advantage for both of you is no friend. Reject the offer and stay on your usual straight and narrow path. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) After all the effort you’ve been putting in both on the job and for friends and family, it’s a good time to indulge your own needs. The weekend could bring a pleasant surprise. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might want to do something new this weekend. Close your eyes and imagine what it could be, and then do it, or come up with the closest practical alternative. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your good deeds bring you the appreciation you so well deserve. But, once again, be careful of those who might want to exploit your generous nature for their own purposes. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Trolling for compliments isn’t necessary. You earned them, and you’ll get them. Concentrate this week on moving ahead into the next phase of your program. BORN THIS WEEK: Meeting new people usually means you’re making new friends. People want to be reflected in your shining light. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
