Shop keeps wheels turning Driveshaft business gets work from all around the world

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com When the owner hit a rock and damaged the driveshaft of his 2012 Chevrolet 3500 diesel pickup truck, he asked Bill’s Englewood Driveshaft to build a replacement.

“The rock but a big dent in the aluminum driveshaft, so we have to make a new one,” Bill Farris said July 11 as he and his wife, Shantel, worked on the project. “Our motto is if it needs a driveshaft, we’ll build

it. Each project is different and this project is pretty straightforward, so we can complete in a few hours.”

A driveshaft is a mechanical component of a vehicle’s drive train that transmits torque and rotation from the engine and transmission to the wheels that propel the vehicle.

The shop entrance is located off the alley between Broadway and Lincoln Street, in the block between Floyd and Girard avenues. The shop is compact, with all the spare parts and specialized equipment needed to complete the projects.

While most drivers may never experience a driveshaft problem, the demand for the work done at Bill’s Englewood Driveshaft

at 3364½ S. Broadway keeps the staff busy, and Farris is considering hiring additional staff and possible moving to another Englewood location to have more room to fill the driveshaft orders.

“I am the third member of the Farris family to operate this shop,” Bill said as he began work on the aluminum driveshaft.

“My grandpa Viven opened the shop in 1977. My dad Bob ran it for a while. He wanted to run his survival equipment shop on Broadway so I took over.”

He said his grandfather got started building driveshafts when driveshafts Driveshaft continues on Page 9

A group of Englewood resident picked up petitions to collect signatures required to place two issues on the November ballot.

Lou Ellis, Englewood city clerk, said residents Beverly Cummins and Elaine Hultz picked up the ballot issue petitions.

One of the ballot issues would change the city charter regarding term limits for members of the city council and the municipal judge.

Originally, members of the city council were limited to two terms, but the council approved an ordinance changing the limit to three terms. This ballot issue would return the limit to two terms. There is no term limit established for the municipal judge, and the ballot issue also could place a two-term limit on that post.

Presiding Judge Vincent R. Atencio, Colorado’s only fully elected judge, has held his post since January 1998 and was most recently re-elected in 2009.

The ballot questions would make the term limits effective two weeks after Election Day. Ellis said the proponents must collect 1,024 signatures of registered voters living in Englewood and turn the petitions in by 5 p.m. Aug. 7.

The second ballot issue would be a Petitions continues on Page 9

Officials pull plug on Business Improvement District City council ponders what to do with assets

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com City council stuck a fork in the South Broadway Englewood Business Improvement District July 15 by giving final approval to an ordinance that dissolves it and reverts all of its assets to the city.

Yet to be determined is what to do with the assets, including nearly $149,000 in the bank, plus art, flower pots, bike racks and signs.

Council seems to be leaning toward keeping the cash and continuing to maintain the features, though discussions are ongoing.

“It’s a quality-of-life thing,” Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward said at a study session preceding the meeting.

City Attorney Dan Brotzman said council ultimately can do what it wants, as state statute is silent on the disposition of assets of a dissolved BID. But he feels maintaining things as is brings value to the city.

“In my opinion, and I’ve heard a lot of comments, it really changes and brings a lot to Englewood, to old-time Englewood,” said Brotzman.

There was some discussion about letting business owners who paid into the district choose to get a refund.

“There are some people on this list who will want the money back, but some will want to keep it going,” said Councilmember Rick Gillit.

Councilmember Linda Olson disagreed.

“It was a legal entity up until now,” she said. “I think we need do the right thing by the BID.” Council directed staff to find out how much it would cost to remove all the assets, anticipating that suggestion from some of

the business owners. Staff indicated there wouldn’t be much left over to refund after installations were removed and holes in concrete were filled.

The curtain started to come down on the BID in June, when Bob Laughlin, BID president, said the district had stopped fighting efforts by some business owners to dissolve it.

They were citing inefficient operation and lack of bang for their buck, among other dissatisfactions.

“The goal of the BID has always been to make Englewood a better place to own or operate a business,” Laughlin said at the

time. “Unfortunately, we were not able to rally enough support to overturn the dissolution petitions. We now bow to the decision of the city council in regards to the distribution of the district’s assets.”

The BID includes all commercial properties on both sides of Broadway from Yale Avenue to U.S. Highway 285. Proponents sought to create the self-taxing, self-governed program to finance projects above and beyond those provided by governmental agencies.

Merchants initiated the effort and, in the November 2006 election, property owners voted almost 2 to 1 in favor of it.

Bill will tell you his story is one of redemption.

The missionaries found him on the 16th Street Mall nine months ago. He was drinking every day.

“They would stop and talk to me.” A slight man, he wears wire-rim glasses and a cap. “Without fail, if I was there, I would see them.”

He pauses, takes a bite from his plate.

“Well, I’ve had people make a little effort, but I’ve never had anyone come every day that I could count on.”

Recently, Bill says, a car hit him as he was crossing a street. The collision put him in the hospital for three weeks. “They would come see me every day, pray for me. When I started getting better, they still came by.”

Raised in the Catholic faith, Bill began talking about God. “They helped me get my life back spiritually, even physically.” He has not had a drink, he says, in five months. He is living at Samaritan House shelter, working toward a job and his own place. Early next month, he will see his sister from Indiana for the first time in 1½ years.

“They’ll just take you on a human basis,”

•••

1:15 p.m.

Tables have been cleared and leftover food given away. Pockets of people remain, sitting on the ground or standing, missionaries and their street friends still deep in conversation.

“The ‘64 Wildcat — the red one I was talking about?” a man with long, gray scraggly hair and beard says to his young listener.

“That’s what it was called?”

“I had to replace the windshield because it was cracked and I had to replace it with a clear windshield. I said, `Man, this windshield looks like my forehead!’”

The two laugh.

And the laughter lingers, its echo of a simple joyous moment a sweet reminder about the transforming power of human connection.

ship.

Under a blue tent just across from the buffet, Kati Belsole places a statue of the Virgin Mary on a card table in preparation for the recitation of the rosary, which takes place before food is served.

She is 23, from New York, with a degree in theology, and she talks passionately about her desire to share God’s mercy with the poor and homeless.

But “part of our ministry is just that conversation element, showing people they have dignity and they’re worth it,” she says.

“They’re worth it just because of the fact they’re a person.”

She arranges a vase of red and white fabric roses next to the statue, along with a large crucifix and wooden rosaries she’ll hand to those in the park who want them.

“We really want to know the person, their joys and their struggles,” Belsole says. “It’s a relational thing. We really try to remember people’s names and their stories.”

Alex Lambis, 23, is a college graduate from Orlando with a degree in interpersonal communication. He spends two hours each day wandering the streets of Capitol Hill.

He has come to know many of its homeless residents well.

There’s Zachary, artistic and creative. And Art, tender and caring. Bernie is open and genuine. Jessica — loving, motherly.

“I’ve had people ask me why I’m out there every day,” Alex says. “I say, `We’re just out here, to hang out with you guys and see how you’re doing.’ ... I think the constant presence makes a difference. It takes perseverance and constant effort and not giving up on people.”

Alex has learned much about faith and human dignity from his friends on the street.

He’s become more compassionate, he says.

And “I’ve come to realize there is beauty that can be drawn in the middle of suffering — even if the situation is bad and ugly, good can be drawn from it.”

On this Saturday in the park, he sits down next to Jessica. A pretty mother of two, she is 32. She has carefully braided her hair and shadowed her eyes. She wears hoops in her ears and bracelets, a bright red sundress and pink fingernail polish. She is homeless, she says, because of a series of bad decisions.

Her children are with her mother.

Jessica savors the home-cooked meals.

“They’re always made with love, and that’s what gets me.”

She is grateful, too, for Alex and the others.

“They pray with us, and we need all the prayers we can get,” she says. “They’re here for us, for me. Just being there and listening.”

She glances at Alex, arms hooked around his legs, whose year in Denver is almost over.

“He’ll be leaving soon,” she says. “And then I’ll have to start all over.”

They are young Catholic missionaries, who since Thanksgiving 2011 have turned the second Saturday of the month into Lunch in the Park for the homeless in downtown Denver. With help and donations from church volunteers around the metro area, they bring home-cooked meals to Lincoln Park, in the heat of summer and the cold of winter.

But the real gift they bring is one many take for granted — someone to talk to, someone to listen, a human connection.

“This lunch is wonderful,” Bill, 60, says in a soft voice as he sits on the grass, eating.

“But that doesn’t even touch what they’ve done for me. ... I got a lot of my dignity back from them.”

The missionaries of Christ in the City, a Catholic service organization that asks young people between 18 and 29 to dedicate one semester to a year working with the poor and other marginalized segments of society, come from throughout the country. They hope to grow spiritually while ministering — mind, body and spirit — to those in need.

They find connections to resources and mental health support, if needed. They provide food, sleeping bags, clothes. They talk about God, if asked.

But more than anything, they offer friend-

Bill says. “People who have been in the position I was in, we just don’t have many people who we can talk to on a normal level, whatever that might be. And they gave me confidence to talk to other people I normally wouldn’t have talked to.”

He is quiet. “I don’t know how to put into words how thankful I am.”

Highline Canal Trail

10:45 a.m.

Bob, 65, sits on a low shady wall in the small quiet park sandwiched between the state Capitol and Civic Center in Denver.

Headphones in one ear, he is listening to Rush Limbaugh, his belongings packed tightly into the bulging backpacks on either side of him. Along with a few other men perched farther down the wall or lounging under leafy trees, he is waiting.

11:10.

The park is suddenly busy. Within minutes, a cluster of young men and women have set up white tents and tables upon which a buffet of food begins to appear.

11:45.

A line has started to form as trays of chicken shish kebab are brought to the tables, now laden with bowls and trays of watermelon and fruits, potato and green bean salads, chocolate chip cookies, water, lemonade and other flavored drinks.

“They give a good meal,” says Bob, eyes crinkling under a blue winter cap, the muffs pinned above his ears, three binder clips snapped on the brim. A sparse, black beard and mustache streaked with thick gray whiskers frame his tanned face.

The food is good. But the conversation is better.

“They’ll talk to you,” Bob says. “It’s pretty neat.”

Oil, gas efforts take shape Rules, development potential explored at town hall meeting

“...enhancing kids education through an engaging first-hand experience with an orchestra.”

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com While other areas of the state struggle with developing the administrative permitting process that accompanies oil and gas exploration, major oil companies have praised Arapahoe County for its open and collaborative efforts.

But as District 2 County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe detailed much of the history behind the process to residents at a July 20 town hall meeting hosted by Republican state Rep. Spencer Swalm of Centennial, she hinted at the notion that oil and gas activity in Arapahoe is starting to “look promising.”

“We’ve approved 33 wells since the use by special permit process was finalized,” she said, and while it’s still too early to know how much windfall the county would receive should production take off, Sharpe said it would most likely come in the form of ad valorem tax — a tax on the value of the fuel.

Under state law, the county would also be entitled to a share of the severance tax, which is a tax imposed by the state on non-renewable resources extracted or “severed” from the earth.

Revenues from extracted minerals are split between the state and the county.

The county would then divide its share among eligible municipalities.

Citing improvements in safety and

County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe joins Rep. Spencer Swalm at a July 20 town hall in Centennial.

Sharpe spoke confidently of the county’s future with oil and gas exploration. Photo by Deborah Grigsby production best practices, Sharpe said she is confident with how the county has laid out expectations for oil and gas exploration, particularly when it comes to things like spills.

“The smallest of spills must be mitigated,” explained Sharpe. “Even a spill the size of a water glass is still considered a spill and must be reported to the state.”

The county also has hired a new oil and gas specialist that will serve as the county’s eyes and ears in the field.

“The new specialist has completed the same safety training that state inspectors get,” said Sharpe.

“Although our specialist is not certified to perform drilling inspections,

she can certainly look at and understand the same things they are looking at.”

There is a total of about 1,200 wells within the county, said Sharpe. A little more than 1,000 of them have long been abandoned or sealed off.

Although interest in drilling seems to be growing in Arapahoe County, Sharpe doesn’t anticipate the number of wells to exceed 2,000.

Part of that reason is that the most practical areas to drill are in eastern unincorporated Arapahoe County.

State setback regulations and local control of access point and roads become extremely complicated in more densely populated areas.

Firecracker may have started blaze Neighbor puts out fire after ‘big loud boom’

By Scott Gilbert

sgilbert@ourcoloradonews.com A fire that might have been linked to fireworks destroyed a bush and blistered paint on a senior citizen’s home, but a neighbor’s quick action extinguished the blaze before firefighters arrived.

The fire occurred about 9:45 p.m.

July 17 at a woman’s home at Elati Street and Grand Avenue. Neighbor Emmett Wyatt was at his house across the street when “there was a big loud boom” that set off the alarm in his

truck.

Wyatt said his mother looked out the window and spotted the fire along the front of the home, with flames that reached 12 to 15 feet in height as he ran out to help.

“I ran in behind the burning bush and grabbed the hose,” Wyatt said, adding that the incident had also broken a window on the home. “It got real hot real quick.”

The Englewood Fire Department lists the cause of the blaze as undetermined coming from an external source, with firefighters unable to find remnants of the firecracker that Wyatt suspects started the blaze. There was no police report of the incident.

“That street — Grand Avenue, one

block off Belleview — kids walk up and down that street to the apartments behind the middle school,” Wyatt said.

“At night, it’s kids on skateboards, kids on bikes, cars doing 50 mph up and down that street.”

He said neighbors got the resident back in her home after the fire, checked the home and checked the garage. A repairman was booked to replace the window that was broken, and Wyatt was sorry to say that he wouldn’t be able to find a bush like the one that burned, which had grown there since 1958.

“All of us in that area are a little older. We all watch out for each other,” Wyatt said. “It’s just Englewood taking care of Englewood.”

Bans on open burning are called off Staff report Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson has canceled the open burn ban issued June 13 for the county, the city of Centennial and Cherry Creek State Park. Englewood followed suit,

announcing the lifting of its open burning ban on the city’s website.

Additional moisture and favorable weather conditions prompted the move, according to a press release from Robinson’s office.

The sheriff’s office and local fire departments will continue to monitor

the potential fire danger and will initiate open burning bans as conditions require. Although the level of danger for fires has modified, residents are urged to exercise caution when burning or interacting with any fire source.

Champion dog groomer loves a challenge Henriksen hones skills through competition

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Fluffy is a dog fraught with irony.

He’s a bichon frise, a breed often touted as safe for people allergic to dogs. But sadly, Fluffy himself is allergic to a long list of things — cats, cotton, hemp, horses and more, including many ingredients common in grooming products.

“It’s so strange that a dog that’s supposed to be hypoallergenic for the benefit of all of us has all these insane allergies,” said Carolyn Brimson, Fluffy’s owner.

That’s why she feels lucky to have found groomer Christie Henriksen.

“She’s a good part of the ongoing general good health of our dog,” said Brimson.

Henriksen is conscientious about avoiding the multitudes of things Fluffy can’t tolerate, and she keeps a close eye out for the hot spots that indicate a flare-up. And to top it off, says Brimson, she’s an excellent groomer.

She’s proved that by achieving the level of master groomer and winning a bundle of first-place awards in Na-

Christie Henriksen, a master groomer with a shop on South Broadway, has won a bundle of first-place awards in the National Dog Groomers Association of America. Courtesy photo tional Dog Groomers Association of America competitions. This week, she’s competing at an international challenge held in Las Vegas.

“It’s going to be my first big show,” she said before leaving. “I’m pretty freaked out right now.”

Henriksen has loved dogs all her life and got her first show dog, Kodiak, when she was 15. With guidance from other handlers, she practiced the finer points of grooming on him.

She moved from Michigan to Littleton in 2007, started working in a pet spa and joined the NDGAA. When she found a storefront at 5501 S. Broadway

that was cheaper than her booth rent, she jumped. Her business, Uptown Pups, has been open since October.

Her goal is to create a spa experience for the dogs that’s equal to what humans love, and she even hopes to add a doggie masseuse eventually.

Her shop is clean and freshly remodeled, and there’s not a trace of wet-dog smell. Beyond the basic services, extras include tooth brushing, nail polish, fur dyeing and even tattoos.

“I want to be the best of the best,” she said. “That’s what I’m striving for.

I’m a master groomer; now I want to be more than a master groomer. I always want to get better and better, and that’s why I’m doing these competitions.”

Judges tell her she has a great eye for symmetry and that her trims are clean and crisp.

“I see the other dogs, and they look so good, and I wonder why my dog stands out,” she said.

Contestants must bring their own dogs with them, so a few of her clients will travel with her.

“They get a free groom out of it, and a little fame,” she said.

She hopes to soon have her own dog to travel with. Kodiak walked over the rainbow bridge a couple of years ago, but his great-great-grandchildren were expected to be born this week.

“It’s exciting to get a little piece of him,” she said.

Housing agency surviving effects of sequestration

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews. com South Metro Housing Options is doing its best to keep its clients from feeling the effects of federal sequestration.

“At this point, we’re not going to be cutting or reducing anybody for the foreseeable next two years,” said Dan Burnham, executive director of the housing assistance agency.

The sequestration meant mandatory, massive and across-the-board cuts at the federal level.

According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, its Section 8 voucher funding was slashed by $500 million, and it will have to cut 5 percent out of nearly all its programs.

SMHO administers Section 8 and other HUD programs throughout Arapahoe County. Burnham said HUD funded his office 8 percent less in 2013 than in 2012.

SAU 2x2

The cuts are mostly to capital funding, he said, so won’t directly affect client benefits.

“The good news for us is our units are in really good condition,” he said.

When cuts to services are necessary, they will happen by not issuing new vouchers rather than by cutting off current clients, he said.

“We’ll kind of reshuffle and still be able to do everything we need to do,” he said.

But there has been an increased housing need since the start of the recession, and wait lists have been closed for a year and a half.

And as people coming out of foreclosures opted to rent, units became more scarce and prices went up, notes Burnham, making it harder for SMHO clients to find housing.

The feds made some drastic cutbacks at the same time the housing bubble was bursting, and SMHO had to kick some people off its rolls for the only time in Burnham’s 34-year tenure.

Staff report Because there are no losers in Englewood, the recreation center created The Biggest Winner Challenge.

“I come to the gym and do basketball drills,” said participant Tom Kruck, who found a fun way to enjoy his workouts. “By the end, I am pouring with sweat, and I had fun doing it.”

There were 81 participants this year, who lost an average of 22 pounds over six months. The biggest Biggest Winner, 67-year-old Rick Weekley, lost 43 pounds.

Diagnosed with borderline blood pressure and on his way to diabetes, he signed up in an effort to get off of medication.

“I thought if I signed up for it, it would keep me motivated. And it worked,” he said. “The competition and going against the other people. We were all trying to make life better for everbody involved.”

Weekley won an annual membership to the Englewood Recreation Center and a $100 Visa gift card, donated by sponsor Swedish Health One. “I’m going to buy some new clothes that fit,” he laughed.

All participants earned a variety of free and discounted sessions at the center.

“The Biggest Winner Challenge is a sixmonth weight-loss challenge designed to provide motivation and tools to make lasting lifestyle changes to not only shed pounds, but also to increase overall health and well-being,” said program administrator Gina Fontaine.

Adult winner Keith Carson never ran before.

“Now I’ve caught the bug,” he said. “I run 2.5 miles, and I want to run the Bolder Boulder next year.”

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton will be one of just a few southmetro cities to allow retail marijuana sales starting Jan. 1 if council keeps heading the direction it set out on July 9.

It was a study session, so no official action could be taken.

But five of the seven councilors agreed in theory that Littleton should lift its moratorium on retail sales on Oct. 1, when the state will start accepting applications.

Mayor Debbie Brinkman, who led the city’s charge against synthetic marijuana two years ago, and Councilor Bruce Beckman, a retired police commander, were opposed.

However, medical marijuana patients younger than 21 might have to leave city limits to fill their prescriptions.

Council seems to be leaning toward letting existing dispensaries operate retail outlets inside their current facilities rather than requiring them to have separate licenses and distinct entrances.

However, state law forbids anyone younger than 21 from entering a retail marijuana store.

Littleton’s law limits the number of dispensaries to four, and staff recommends expanding that to mean no more than four marijuana-related businesses.

Retail pot looks likely in Littleton Council talks generally favor sales in city

englewood herald

Only Councilor Jim Taylor was opposed, saying he’d prefer separating retail and MMJ facilities so 18-year-old patients can continue to obtain their medicine legally in the city.

“I’ve got this feeling they can still medicate somewhere,” countered Councilor Jerry Valdes.

The owners of CannaMart dispensary, one of four in the city, have indicated they will apply for a retail license. The store is moving from Arapahoe Road and Broadway to 1080 W. Littleton Blvd., and building out the space to conform to all state and local requirements.

“Our plan would be to stay on top of the game,” Stan Zislis said in March.

Zislis said business has grown every year. Since opening in 2009, they’ve paid more than $1.2 million in wages and more than $107,000 to the city in sales tax.

Overall, city staff recommends changing as little as possible once retail sales begin. “The city has experience dealing with the impacts of having marijuana at the current locations,” they write in a memo to council. “Adding retail to the existing medical marijuana should not remarkably change those impacts.”

Kristen Schledorn, deputy city attorney, advised council to impose regulations on retailers similar to ones already in place for dispensaries, including requiring them to gain approval from the city’s licensing authority.

Whatever regulations council ultimately approves will face a public hearing before the final vote, not yet scheduled.

But on July 30, council will hear on first reading an ordinance to send a marijuanatax question to the voters.

opinions / yours and ours

Program digging deeper into public policy An additional in-depth view on a tough question is always valuable.

That’s the result we are hoping for following the announcement last week of an economic measurement initiative backed by several regional entities and tasked to be conducted by the Business Research Division of the University of Colorado at Boulder’s Leeds School of Business. The school will run the program on behalf of main funding sponsors the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp., the Denver South Economic Development Partnership and the Common Sense Policy Roundtable.

This econometric model developed by Regional Economic Models Inc., or REMI, promises to break out costs, benefits, positives and negatives of state issues in greater detail for lawmakers, business leaders and

our view in turn the public. The first project will take on Initiative 22 — expected to be on the ballot in November — which is a great choice.

Gov. John Hickenlooper has already given an initial nod to Initiative 22, the type of tax measure that usually needs a push from the sitting governor to have a shot.

The initiative asks voters to increase the state income tax rate from 4.63 to 5 percent for those making an income of $75,000 or

question of the week

Should water restrictions be relaxed?

In light of some recent heavy rains and the forecast of more to come, Colorado Community Media asked people if they

thought existing water restrictions should be relaxed to permit residents to water their lawns more frequently.

“I don’t think water restrictions should be changed because we should be doing what we can to conserve water.”

— Lisa Olken, Littleton

“We need to build another dam and stop giving all our water to Las Vegas and southern California.”

— Mike Nicholls, Lone Tree

“The restrictions don’t seem too severe and probably are needed because we should cut back on water use so we can fill up the water storage areas.”

— Gerry Lane, Highlands Ranch

“I am pretty happy … now that Denver has changed its rules from only allowing lawn watering two days a week to allowing watering three days a week.”

— Jeannie Frick, Denver

When agreeing to disagree, agree Whether it is in a business situation or a family setting, so many relationships are impacted and decisions avoided because of a lack of consensus or our inability to reach a unanimous conclusion.

We reach the point of being polite and saying something like, “Let’s just agree to disagree,” and we believe we can move on hoping the other person is under the same impression. But what did we really accomplish?

In some cases we completely avoid making the decision and in that situation both people lose. And in other cases we walk away feeling offended or hurt as our opinions are taken out of context, and before we know it the relationship becomes strained. Again, everyone loses.

You see the issue is that although we use the saying, “let’s just agree to disagree,” we don’t actually stick to it. Instead we walk away and tell others about the disagreement or we try and tell our side of the story to anyone who will listen. And the person we were arguing with is probably doing the very same thing.

So instead of both parties losing and feeling like they didn’t have an opportunity to eat at the restaurant of their choice, or seeing the movie that they had been waiting to see, what if we practiced a different technique? Instead of agreeing to disagree, come up with option B, or a second and third choice.

It works the same way in business. So many times when I am coaching a client, they share a story about a peer or manager, or sometimes even their boss or a customer, where they just could not see eye-to-eye. It created angst and tension and people started operating in silos. My guidance for my client was to be really prepared before going into their next meeting.

If people started office politics or jockeying for position, be prepared with options for the items and issues that are important to the greater good of the company or customer.

It is so easy for a meeting to get off track as people champion their own agendas, and if we take the time to be ready with alternative solutions and consider the needs

and wants of others we can mitigate the chances of a situation arising where everyone loses. Many authors and experts have used the term, “Seek first to understand and then to be understood,” and when find ourselves in a combative situation or even a minor disagreement we should take the time to think through things from the perspective of others. This is a great first step to defusing those minor disagreements that sometimes escalate to big ugly arguments.

I am simply suggesting that instead of always trying to win for the sake of winning and ending up losing anyway, it is always better to find a way to agree on a solution that best meets everyone’s needs.

And if we take this path, take the high road, and people still want to argue or fight with us, all we can do is walk away knowing that we really did try everything in our power to come to an agreement. And if they decide to become angry with us or revert to talking about us to other people, we should not worry. All we can do is manage what we do and say, we cannot manage or stress about how others act and feel. My good friend Frank Singer reminded me of a quote, “Other people’s opinions of us is none of our business.”

Do you focus on the disagreement or the path to agreement? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com.

When we are prepared with alternative solutions and have a heart and mind focused on the needs of others, it will be a better than good week.

less and 5.9 percent for income above that amount. Under the measure, the Legislature has put forth a plan to infuse the state with about $950 million for education.

We are starting to see many questions generated about what the real impacts will be and where the money will actually go. So we are very pleased to see this economic model launched in time for this momentous decision.

Typically in coverage of these major measures, we come across various evaluations, but too often the information comes from parties with clear interests — in extremes that can extend from hardened opposition to increased taxes to open arms for all funding for education.

Kevin McCasky, president and CEO at Jefferson County Economic Develop-

ment Corporation, is among those who welcomes the added analysis. He said that while the state does well breaking out the expenditures behind major policy changes, the full fiscal impacts are not as clear. In addition to producing more complete analysis, he said the econometric model will be neutral, not colored by political frameworks.

We have been reminded that the econometric model is a tool, but at first look it appears to be a very good one. Our hope is that this new analysis offers a valuable breakout that covers key factors quickly and clearly in a way that cuts to the core of issues more quickly. Further we hope to see the process have an impact in the vetting process for public policy in formative stages.

The running of the dummies “Three gored, 23 others injured in running of the bulls.” It’s simply not enough. I won’t be satisfied until tens upon tens are gored and injured.

It’s extremely entertaining. Or maybe it’s the adrenaline rush that makes it worth it to the runners and the spectators. I think it’s 19th-century.

“Tension soared when one of the animals charged a 31-year-old Spaniard and tossed him on the ground with his horns for almost 30 seconds as fellow runners tried to pull it away by its tail. The man clung to one of the horns as screams were heard all around.”

I like it. I like it very much.

Six bulls are let loose in the morning to run in the Pamplona encierro. Later in the day they are slaughtered in the bullring.

Runners, who just sang a benediction (“Macho Macho Man”) are prohibited from “inciting” the bulls.

What do you call it, what they do, if it’s not inciting? Let’s reverse things. Let six of these imbeciles loose and have hundreds of bulls chase them around.

There’s nothing bold, brave, heroic, courageous, dashing or daring about purposefully herding and chasing animals to their death.

I know it’s cultural (stupidity), like dogfighting and cockfighting. I know it’s traditional (stupidity). But isn’t it about time to look at these animals differently, perhaps with some respect?

“Every year,” a petition website says, “in Denmark, specifically the Faroe Islands, innocent and helpless Calderon dolphins are slaughtered brutally by the Danes. Why you may ask? Simply because. A pointless and stupid right of passage to manhood” (“Macho Macho Man”).

Slaughtering a dolphin to prove that you are a man is a right of passage to ignorance.

Hemingway would never buy me a drink. Neither would Picasso. I wouldn’t let the best matador in Spain wash my car.

There are complete yahoos on The History Channel who boast about slaughtering alligators. I watch the channel all of the time, except when “Swamp People” is on.

It’s as if they turned programming over to a Hatfield or McCoy for an hour.

I know there are women who run with the bulls, but most of the runners are men, aggressively masculine men, who must reek of testosterone.

I also know that there are men who fly to Pamplona to have their testosterone inhaled by other men. You probably could get pregnant just standing in line at the Pamplona Starbucks.

Running with the bulls is as foreign to me as runways. Running with the designers doesn’t make me angry or sad, it just gives me the all-out creeps. But bull running and fashion shows have big audiences, ones that I will never touch. I just looked at my shelter dog and said that I was glad there is no running of the dachshunds.

He reminded me that there is. Even my little friend’s breed is subjected to human condescension.

Go bulls! Go dachshunds!

Veteran cop facing serious drug charges y Littleton police officer is in federal custody

o that the nges,By Jennifer Smith n jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com

Littleton Police Officer Jeffrey Allan Johnston, 46, is facing charges that could mean life in prison after being arrested by ono- the FBI on drug charges July 19.

Cmdr. Trent Cooper said the 22-year it pe LPD veteran was taken into custody at his le home without incident.

“The alleged drug activity was cony re fined to his personal life and there is no e to indication or belief that any criminal misvet- conduct occurred in relation to his work tive with the Littleton Police Department,” said Cooper.

According to an FBI affidavit, on July 15, Johnston called a known drug dealer who has peddled his wares during parties at Johnston’s Parker home in the past.

Johnston asked if he could buy between 40 and 50 ecstasy pills. The FBI then conducted a “controlled delivery” of 37 pills and 6 grams of ecstasy powder, for which Johnston paid $1,300. Following the exchange, Johnston was taken into custody

and his home was searched.

In the kitchen, agents found the fresh delivery and a Colt Officers Model .45-caliber pistol loaded with seven rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber. They also found suspected cocaine, suspected steroids, hundreds of suspected prescription pills, additional firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, empty pill pouches, a drug test kit and a scale.

Johnston was taken to the Jefferson County Detention Center originally. He is now in federal custody, though FBI spokesperson Jeff Dorschner declined to specify

where.

Johnston appeared in court in to be advised of his rights and the charges on the afternoon of July 22.

He faces one count of possession ecstasy with intent to distribute, which carries a penalty of not more than 20 years in federal prison and a fine of not more than $1,000,000; one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, which carries a penalty of not more than 20 years in federal prison and a fine of not more than $500,000; one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime, which

Johnston has been placed on unpaid administrative leave. Cooper called him a model employee who was professional, meticulous and always willing to help. He was most recently assigned to the traffic motorcycle unit, conducting traffic enforcement and accident investigations. In the early and mid-1990s, according to Cooper, he was a member of the recently disbanded South Metro Drug Task Force.

“If the charges are true, it’s an absolute disappointment, mixed with anger and sadness” said Cooper. “We expect our officers to uphold a certain code and a certain behavior. We hold them accountable just like we would any other citizen that made the same mistake.”

The government is asking the court that Johnston be held in custody without bond pending a resolution of his case.

A detention hearing and a preliminary hearing are scheduled to take place on July 25 at 3 p.m.

testing.

Sylvester laid out a 23-point advisement to Liggett and his attorney, Jennifer Ahnstedt, detailing the conditions and consequences of his plea.

Ahnstedt argued that Liggett some of the stipulations issued by the court in the document may be unconstitutional.

Specifically, she points to what she claims is a conflict between her client’s right to assert the Fifth Amendment and the court’s demand that Liggett answer questions and cooperate fully with mentalhealth professionals.

Senior Deputy District Attorney Brian Sugioka objected, insisting that the statutory definition of “non-cooperation” was “not that difficult.”

Ahnstedt asked the court for a separate hearing to wrangle with the issues before

Liggett would be obligated to undergo the 60-day evaluation.

“Once the evaluation is complete, the statute comes into play and we’ve lost the opportunity, if desired, to assert the Fifth Amendment,” she said.

The court-ordered mental-health evaluation may help determine whether Liggett serves time in prison or in a state mental facility, if convicted.

Sylvester, who stepped down in April as the judge in the trial of Aurora theater shooting suspect James Holmes, said he shared the concerns raised by the defense,

but would not interrupt the evaluation by granting a hearing in the middle of the process.

Sylvester did permit the litigation of such constitutional issues, should they arise, at a later date.

Liggett underwent a competency exam in February at the Colorado Mental Health Institute in Pueblo and was deemed competent to stand trial.

He is suspected of poisoning his mother and then cutting her body into seven pieces to hide her death so he could use her credit cards.

OBITUARIES

Accused killer had many drug sources Records show more than 21,000 pills in five years

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com An Oct. 4 preliminary hearing has been set for a Centennial woman who is accused in the overdose death of one man and is allegedly linked to the deaths of three others.

Almeda Beth Sullivan appeared in Arapahoe County District Court on July 15, facing one count of first-degree murder with “extreme indifference” in the death of 21-year-old Carter Lee Higdon, who died of a drug overdose in her home on Oct. 1, 2011.

But the 50-year-old former teacher’s aide is also allegedly linked to the 2008 overdose deaths of Sierra Renee Cochran, 19; Lind- Sullivan sey Jo Saidy, 28; and Martynas “Tez” Simankas, 20.

Known to many, including the overdose victims, as “Ally,” Sullivan is accused of selling large quantities of prescription drugs to students, then mixing bizarre combinations that, according to one of Higdon’s friends interviewed by investigators, would push people to the brink of what their bodies could physically handle and then would

try “to bring them back.”

Records obtained from Colorado’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program by investigators show Sullivan had multiple sources for obtaining excessive amounts of narcotics, totaling more than 21,000 pills from 2007-11.

It’s thought that Sullivan used the name of a co-worker to obtain drugs, obtained additional pills from one of her doctors for cash payments off the books, and filled prescriptions for her husband, Charles Sullivan, months after his death.

Records collected during a 2011 search of Sullivan’s home show she held an associate’s degree in respiratory care, and obtained a bachelor’s degree from Southern Illinois University in health care administration.

Transcripts indicate she had specialized training in anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, respiratory care and respiratory pharmacology, as well as courses in advanced cardiac life support.

Investigators state that Sullivan forged a last will and testament, along with insurance forms, after her husband, Charles Sullivan, died in 201o. A separate case has been filed in connection with those allegations.

Sullivan was employed by the Cherry Creek School District from 2003 to 2005 as a bus driver and teacher’s aide.

She is being held without bond in the Arapahoe County jail.

cians continue to hold city positions.

“They changed it to three (terms), so we’d like to have it changed back to just two,” she said. “They can keep jumping back and forth into different positions. … I know they all need to find other jobs.”

The city’s plan to sell the Englewood Depot to Denver letterpress printers Tom and Patti Parson should give people pause, Cummins said.

The parkland petition is “mainly to make people stop and think that all our parkland can be taken away — if they can sell parkland right there under the depot, they can sell it anywhere.

“Once gone, we never can get it back again,” she said. “It’s not right to take property that belongs to Englewood and sell it to someone in Denver.”

Assistant editor Scott Gilbert contributed to this report

Shantel Farris works on a yoke to help her husband Bill construct a driveshaft for a Chevrolet 3500 diesel pickup truck. Bill’s Englewood Driveshaft is a family-owned business that has been building driveshafts since 1977. Photo by Tom Munds

Driveshaft Continued from Page 1

installed in many models of 1970s Cadillacs caused excessive vibration because of poor driveshaft balance.

“Grandpa was one of two places in the state equipped to build new driveshafts for those luxury cars. He also began getting requests to build driveshafts for race cars and other specialty vehicles, and our company is still at it.”

Farris said his shop is equipped to help vehicle owners solve problems, whether the challenge is building a lighter driveshaft to reduce the weight or to build a balanced driveshaft to eliminate vibration problems.

“Our family has always tried to treat all our customers the way we would want to be treated if we were asking for the service our shop provides,” the 1980 Englewood High School graduate said. “We want to turn out a quality project to meet the customer’s needs. Our policy is to start with the best possible raw materials because you can’t build a good house on a crappy foundation.”

In the early years, most of the shop’s business came from referrals and from

print advertising. Farris said technology changed all that.

“I began advertising on the Internet, which opened up a worldwide market for us. Many of our orders come to us by email from people we will never meet in person,” he said. “On the average, we build 20 to 25 driveshafts a day. Many are for local customers, but we also ship our driveshafts to customers in Australia, England and other countries overseas.”

Farris said he has always worked on cars and, while at Englewood High School, he attended the auto shop classes and helped start the club where students customize their cars.

“I love speed and today, I get my current throttle therapy going off-road or crushing cars with my monster truck,” he said.

“I go to the monster truck winter nationals at the National Western Stock Show complex. The first time was a little scary when I hit the throttle to jump some cars but it also gave me a rush that you can’t describe in words. But, it was a great experience and I look forward to getting that rush again whether I am jumping a line of cars or going airborne when I am going off-road and going airborne while traveling more than 100 miles an hour in the desert.”

REAL ESTATE CAREERS MARKETPLACE SERVICE DIRECTORY

REAL ESTATE AGENT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK is very competitive, and I am 100% focused on helping What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working?

Emily Jones our clients navigate this changing marketplace. All of my Spending time with my two kiddos! We love going to REALTOR®

efforts are focused on earning their confidence and trust, obtaining the right home for them at the best possible price, and bringing the property to a successful close. I have a wonderful team of professionals behind me, and we all strive to make this process as easy as possible.

The Steller Group Keller Williams DTC 720-480-4665 www.stellerrealestate.com emily@stellerrealestate.com Where were you born?

I am a Colorado native, born in Englewood.

How long have you lived in the area?

I have called Centennial and Englewood “home” my entire life with the exception of college, when I attended CU Boulder.

What do you like most about it?

Colorado is amazing. I love the sunshine, blue skies, happy people and the fact that I can spend time outside year-round!

What is the most challenging part of what you do?

Currently the inventory in our market is very low, which demands more strategy when finding the perfect home for my clients.

When the right one does come along, it’s important for buyers to be ready to act quickly.

How long have you worked in Real Estate?

I have been a full-time Realtor since 2004.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with?

I am the lead buyer’s agent with The Steller Group of Keller Williams Realty.

Today’s real estate market

sporting events, traveling, playing at the park and just hanging out with friends.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house?

Staging! It really is a beauty contest out there. You never get a second chance at a good first impression.

Do everything you can to make your home as clean, welcoming and well maintained as possible.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house?

Never settle. Buying a home is the biggest purchase most people will make in their entire life. In today’s market, it can take some time. I always encourage my clients to be patient and wait for the right fit.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

I have certainly encountered many strange situations... walking into homes and finding people who were not expecting us has led to some interesting circumstances, but I have also had many wonderful things happen.

Meeting clients who become lifelong friends is a favorite of mine!

Kaleidoscope show lives up to name Variety of media on exhibit at ACC

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The Annual Juried Kaleidoscope Exhibition at ACC’s Colorado Gallery of the Arts grows stronger with each succeeding year.

The show, which runs through July 31, was juried this year by Marsha Wooley, a longtime Arapahoe Community College faculty member and well-known landscape painter, and Christine Katzenberg, a ceramic artist who teaches and coordinates exhibits at Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial.

The two selected a show that fits comfortably in the gallery from a large number of entries.

Best of Show was awarded to the mysterious “Sea Mudra” by Jonathan M. Wright, an oil on canvas painting of a woman in the water, but with four arms in symbolic pose, like an Indian religious figure. One wonders where she came from.

The First Place ribbon went to Robert Schroeder’s large “Brick Pot With Pipe Handle,” a tongue-in-cheek, but expertly crafted, clay sculpture. The artist has several more in a brick pot series in the show, which add some heft to the three-dimensional exhibits.

Second Place was awarded to Joyce McClain’s “Lake Garda,” a detailed solar etching, which draws the viewer in for a close look.

Third Place winner is S. Williams’ bright watercolor “Details Bike,” a portrait of the antique bicycle with flowers in its basket that greets customers at the Details store on Littleton’s Main Street.

Honorable Mentions were given to Barbara Veatch for a mixed-media abstract painting; to Roseanne Stearne’s airy mixed media painting “Celebration II,” and to Gayla Ruckhaus’ “Iris,” created from colorful, textured wool fibers, pressed on a board, under glass.

This broad-based show, open to all, is a nice representation of the many interests community artists pursue, with a variety of skills.

The jurors’ statement had this description: “Upon walking through the gallery we were impressed by the variety of art in our community. We decided we needed to con-

The diversity is represented in each subject matter, technique and content. We decided that each artist should

have at least one work of art in the show. If there were multiple submissions, we wanted to show strengths through similarity or originality and diversity. Other considerations included careful analysis of the artist’s use of the art elements and principles.

We awarded the strongest representations of a variety of media. Finally, we want to thank all artists who submitted to the Kaleidoscope show. It is our wish that each and every one of you continue to create, grow, and evolve as artists.”

Armchair travel goes historic Book offers a look at railroad’s ‘wicked towns’

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “The first question, of course, is why did they do it?”

Dick Kreck’s opening sentence in “Hell on Wheels: Wicked Towns Along the Union Pacific Railroad” is followed by all sorts of reasons, with original quotes from railroad developers, writers, some adventurous women, vigilantes, preachers and more.

Kreck retired from the Denver Post after 38 years as an editor and columnist (he still writes a beer column) and he has published six books, including this new history about the march of the Union Pacific Railroad across the West.

Kreck’s deep knowledge of Western history and his extensive collection of resources, including old newspaper accounts and historic photographs, give a reader a real feel for what towns that grew up in a day looked like, sounded like — and smelled like.

Also, once the trains were running, he takes one aboard various classes of cars for a trip — including the elegant dining cars for the first-class passengers.

Tales of pleasant climate in California and Oregon, finding gold in Colorado and California and for some, the lure of access to the Orient, drew many folks to consider

Author Dick Kreck of Denver, retired Denver Post reporter.

Kreck describes details in the very difficult lives of those first, often unprepared travelers, citing accounts from diaries that also described rough boomtowns that grew up to supply provisions. All started from a handful of locations, he says: Omaha, Neb./ Council Bluffs, Iowa; St. Joseph/Independence, Mo.; or Leavenworth, Kan. Stagecoaches came next, for those who could afford them, carrying passengers and mail from the Missouri River to Sacramento, Calif., in 20 days, with frequent changes.

Those drivers, called “bullwhackers,” were rock stars of their day.

Forts grew up to protect travelers from Indians, who saw their land being taken from them.

Talk of a transcontinental railroad began in the 1830s, as Eastern railroad systems were growing fast. The Union Pacific and Central Pacific began talk of a path that would start in both directions and meet.

Kreck documents writers, such as Horace Greeley, businessmen, surveyors and more.

Ultimately Grenville M. Dodge and Dr. Thomas C. Durant focused and gathered investors.

Money was a problem across the miles and Kreck’s account describes questionable Credit Mobilier financing, as well as the railroad’s sale of land to settlers. A goal of a mile a day of track laying was set. “One mile of track required 40 cars carrying ties, fastenings, rails, fuel and supplies for crews Kreck continues on Page 19

IKEA in Centennial donated nearly $60,000 of products in comfort kits for families forced out of their homes during Colorado’s Black Forest Fire in June. In all, 800 kits were created; 500 for adults and 300 for children.

“There really wasn’t a question of if we’d do something to help our neighbors, it was a question of what we’d do,” said local marketing, PR and community outreach manager Annie Boeckman.

IKEA Centennial co-workers brainstormed product ideas to include in the kits. Each bag contained basic necessities focusing on eating, sleeping and hygiene.

“The products chosen for the bags were a team effort,” Boeckman said. “Our coworkers put themselves in the mindset of an evacuee and thought about what they’d need if they had to up and leave at a moment’s notice.”

Each IKEA bag contained a pillow, blanket, towel, water bottle and utensils for eating and writing. The child kits also contained markers, paper and a soft toy to keep them entertained during a stressful situation.

IKEA Centennial realized firsthand results of their efforts in an email from an IKEA visitor on July 2: “I want to thank you for the kind packages you sent to the Red Cross to help those in the Black Forest Fire!

My sister lost everything, but had toys for her grandkids to play with because of your kindness.”

It took just five days to pull more than 10,000 products, set up an assembly line on the store’s receiving dock and have co-workers assemble the bags. Many IKEA employees came in early or stayed late knowing time was of the essence for the evacuees.

The New Jersey IKEA transport team, in charge of setting up trucks for product delivery to and from distribution centers, quickly contracted a 53-foot trailer to transport the bags to Colorado Springs.

The kits were delivered to the American Red Cross Disaster Assistance Center on June 21 and distributed by Red Cross volunteers the following week.

Panzano chef competes

Elise Wiggins, executive chef of Panzano in Denver, will represent Colorado at the Great American Seafood Cook Off in New Orleans on Aug. 3. One of the most prestigious culinary competitions in the United States, The Great American Seafood Cook Off emphasizes the importance of cooking with domestic and sustainable seafood.

In New Orleans, Wiggins will compete against more than a dozen top seafood chefs from across the country for the title of “King” or “Queen” of American Seafood.

The chefs will prepare dishes that showcase sustainable fish. Garrett Wiggins, Elise’s younger brother, will act as her sous chef at the event. Interestingly, Wiggins grew up in West Monroe, La., and moved to Colorado to pursue her cooking career.

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to return to Louisiana and represent Colorado at the Cook Off in New Orleans,” said Wiggins, whose restaurant, Panzano, has a Four Diamond rating from AAA. “I look forward to meeting chefs from other states as we help spread the word about the Parker continues on Page 19

ACWWA Flow Project Water and Returns pursuant to Intergovernmental Agreement between ACWWA, United Water and Sanitation District and East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District dated December 15, 2009 and agreements supplemental thereto. The water supplies are currently included in Cases No. 09CW283, 10CW306, 10CW312, 10CW313, 11CW151, 12CW73 and 13CW3026, all pending in Water Division No. 1. The water rights to be changed to ACWWA’s municipal use in each respective ACWWA Flow Project case are summarized in new exhibits K, L, M, N, O, P, Q and R, each attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Use of the water within Case No. 96CW1144 or Case No. 01CW284 shall be subject to the terms and conditions entered in the collateral change of water rights cases and any future cases or amendments to be filed. I. Additional or Alternative Sources of Replacement Water. Pursuant to C.R.S. §37-92-305(8), the Court may authorize ACWWA to use additional or alternative supplies of replacement water, including water leased on a yearly or less frequent basis, in this plan for augmentation. This paragraph sets forth the procedure under which these sources may be added to this plan after the initial decree. a. New Source.

ACWWA may use a water source not identified as an augmentation supply in the decree herein as an additional or alternative augmentation supply for this plan only if such source is part of a substitute water supply plan approved pursuant to C.R.S. §37-92-308 or an interruptible water supply agreement under C.R.S. §3792-309, or if such source is decreed for such use. b. Notice of New Source. Prior to using an additional or alternative water source for this plan, ACWWA shall give written Notice of Use of Water Right for Augmentation, to the Court, the Division Engineer and all Objectors who remain parties at the time of entry of the decree in this matter. Such Notice shall state: (1) the water right by name and decree; (2) the annual and monthly amount of water available to ACWWA from the water right; (3) the manner by which the augmentation credits will be used to augment depletions from wells or water rights included in this plan for augmentation in time, location and amount; (4) the date of initial use of the proposed new source within this plan; (5) duration of use of the new source; (6) identification of the exchange reach, including the exchange “to” and exchange “from” point(s), if the additional or alternative augmentation supply is to be introduced downstream of the out-of priority diversions and/or depletions; (7) if an exchange is required for the new source to be used, proposed terms and conditions relative to the exchange operation; (8) evidence that the claimed amount of water is available for use in this plan and will not be used by any other person; and (9) the manner in which ACWWA will account for use of the augmentation credits and make any required return flow replacements. The Notice shall also specifically include a request that the Court enter an Order either affirming or denying ACWWA’s proposal, and that said Order be attached to the final decree approving the plan for augmentation herein. c.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Urban Renewal Plan an urban renewal project was undertaken by the Agency to redevelop a significant portion of the property within the Urban Renewal Area as a commercial retail shopping area known as “River Point.” The River Point project entailed reconfiguration of the Englewood Municipal Golf Course, rezoning of most, but not all, of the Urban Renewal Area east of the golf course to a commercial PUD zone district (the “River Point PUD”) that would accommodate retail activities, and construction of a modern, multi-tenant retail activity center of several hundred thousand square feet; and WHEREAS, the River Point retail/commercial center continues to develop and fill out today as the national economy improves; and WHEREAS, while the vast majority of the developable land in the Urban Renewal Area was rezoned to the River Point PUD district in conjunction with the River Point project, there remain a few isolated parcels in the Urban Renewal Area that retain the industrial or light industrial zoning that was in place prior to adoption of the Urban Renewal Plan. Those parcels are generally referenced herein as “Remaining Industrial Parcels”; and WHEREAS, paragraph G. 4 of the Urban Renewal Plan provides that “the Redevelopment Area is to consist of retail as a primary use, with secondary uses of offices, open space, community and public uses permitted only if retail use is consistent with section G. 1 of this Plan have been provided …”; and WHEREAS, C.R.S. 31-25-107 (8) of the Colorado Urban Renewal Law provides that upon the approval of an urban renewal plan, “the provisions of said (urban renewal) plan with respect to … land use … applicable to the property covered by said plan shall be controlling with respect thereto”; and WHEREAS, the City of Sheridan Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2004, specifically contemplates that the Urban Renewal Area will be used for commercial, and not industrial or light industrial type uses; and WHEREAS, the current zoning associated with the Remaining Industrial Parcels could allow uses that are not allowed by the Urban Renewal Plan, are inconsistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, and jeopardize the continued development of the River Point Project and the associated prevention of blight that the River Point Project has accomplished to date; and WHEREAS, City Council wish to temporarily prohibit new industrial/light industrial type uses in the Urban Renewal Area in order to consider whether rezoning of the Remaining Industrial Parcels is necessary or desirable to preserve and promote the goals of the Urban Renewal Plan; and WHEREAS, City Council finds that an emergency exists in order to prevent detrimental development that may occur during the time that is required to fully consider the impacts of the zoning and development of the Remaining Industrial Parcels, and that immediate action is necessary to preserve public property, health, welfare, and safety.

importance of sustainability.”

Wiggins didn’t disclose her recipe for the competition, but did reveal its name: Colorado Kokanee Salmon Celebration.

The fish comes from Blue Mesa Reservoir in Colorado. Wiggins is a graduate of the Art Institute of Colorado and she was named Colorado Chef of the Year in 2005.

“I am pleased that Chef Elise is bringing a taste of Colorado to the Tenth Annual Great American Seafood Cook Off,” said Ewell Smith, executive director of the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board, which produces the cookoff. “Each year we bring a new and diverse group of America’s most talented chefs to New Orleans, and it is fast becoming apparent that 2013 will be the most exciting year yet.”

Earlier this year, organizers of The Great American Seafood Cook Off encouraged states to hold a qualifying round or appoint a chef to compete in the event. There are currently 16 chefs registered representing such states as Alabama, Alaska, Mississippi, New Mexico and South Carolina.

John Besh won the first The Great American Seafood Cook-Off in 2004 with a dish of pan-roasted Louisiana blackfish with corn, crab and caviar. The 2012 CookOff Crown went to Chef Gregory Gourdet of Departure Restaurant in Portland, Ore. Chef Gourdet prepared a dish of slowcooked Oregon Chinook Salmon featuring butter clams, bacon dashi, porcini, roasted heirloom tomato and crispy sea greens.

The Great American Seafood Cook Off will take place on Aug. 3 at the Ernest N.

tions for prostitutes that would be packed up at one site and in business at the next in record time as the rails crawled west — accompanied by a roster of shady characters who would prey on the railroad workers, with money to spend.

The second half of the book focuses on towns and folks who lived and died there: some towns prospered and became cities while others disappeared in the dust: Omaha, Milepost 1.1; North Platte. 291.0; Julesburg, 377.4 (particularly interesting); Cheyenne, 516.4; Laramie, 572.8; Bear River

City, 946.0; and finally Promontory, 1084.4, where there was a ceremony to drive the final spikes on May 10, 1869.

A colorful description of that day and its participants is followed by the fact that cross-country trains were running within a week, cutting the time involved to about seven days. Sometimes, the going was rough, and repairs and rebuilding started quickly.

Accommodations ranged from first class to tourist to immigrant, and towns and farms sprung up across the West. Res-

taurants, especially the Fred Harvey chain, grew up. Travelers had 20 minutes to eat.

For readers who want to delve into more material, Kreck ends his book with an extensive bibliography for each chapter.

“I know it seems crazy for a chef from a landlocked state like Colorado to compete in a national seafood competition but I’m getting these great Kokanee salmon from Blue Mesa, caught by fishing guide Robby Richardson from Sport Fish Colorado. I can’t wait to get back to Louisiana and win this thing,” Wiggins added.

Obmascik’s second book, “Halfway to Heaven,” has been chosen by the city of Wheat Ridge for its One City/One Book program.

Here’s Obmascik’s Facebook post on Monday: “Woo hoo! Honored and grateful to have my second book, Halfway to Heaven, selected by Wheat Ridge, CO for its One City / One Book program. I’ll be giving a series of talks and slide shows about the book (how to climb — or how not to climb — all of Colorado’s 14,000-foot mountains in a summer) in September.”

Obmascik’s first book, “The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature, and Fowl Obsession,” was a best seller and was turned into a feature film starring Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson.

Evaporation losses from the South and North Reservoir Complexes shall be calculated by multiplying the total water surface area in acres of the reservoirs in the particular complex by gross reservoir evaporation in feet. Daily gross reservoir evaporation in feet shall be calculated using daily alfalfa crop reference evapotranspiration (ETr) values obtained from a primary weather station located at the Denver Water Recycle Plant, and if data from such weather station is not available, at a secondary weather station located at Denver Water�s Moffat Treatment Plant. If data from neither weather station is available, Denver Water shall use the default ETr Water Courtsvalues shown in Table 2 below. Weather station data shall be used in conjunction with a commonly used and accepted evapotranspiration formula (ET formula), such as the ASCE Standardized Reference Evapotranspiration Equation, to compute alfalfa crop reference evapotranspiration (ETr) on a daily basis. Reference evapotranspiration from turf grass may also be used provided the alternative evapotranspiration values are converted to alfalfa crop reference evapotranspiration.

Turf grass reference evapotranspiration (ETo) will be converted to ETr values using the factors set Public Notice forth in Table 1 below: DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO JUNE 2013 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are notified that the following is a resume of all water right applications and certain amendments filed in the Office of the Water Clerk during the month of JUNE 2013 for each County affected.

APPLICATION TO AMEND FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, JUDGMENT AND DECREE OF THE WATER COURT IN DOUGLAS, JEFFERSON, ARAPAHOE, DENVER, BROOMFIELD, WELD, BOULDER, AND ADAMS COUNTIES. DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO, Weld County Courthouse, 901 9th Avenue, Room 418, P.O. Box 2038, Greeley, CO 80632. 1. Applicant. City and County of Denver, acting by and through its Board of Water Commissioners (“Denver Water”) 1600 West 12th Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80204, (303) 628-6460. 2.

Purpose of Application. By this application Denver Water seeks to put Objectors on notice of Denver Water’s application to amend the Water Court’s August 8, 2011 Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, Judgment and Decree of the Water Court (“Decree”). The amendment would only modify the decreed methodology to be used by Denver Water for accounting for evaporation losses from the North and South Gravel Pit Complexes as described in Paragraph 32 in the Decree. The new methodology would allow Denver Water to use a primary weather station to calculate evaporation losses, a secondary weather station in the event the primary weather station is unavailable, and default ETr values if the secondary weather station is unavailable. Denver Water also seeks to amend paragraph 32 to require that Opposers receive thirty-five days advance written notice of changes to accounting forms, rather than thirty. Other than these changes shown below, Denver Water does not seek to make any other modifications to the August 8, 2011 decree. 3. Modifications to be Made to Paragraph 32 of the Decree: 32. Operation and Accounting. All measurable diversions, deliveries to and releases of water from the North and South Reservoir Complexes shall be measured. In addition to any measuring devices specifically required by this Decree, Denver Water shall install and properly maintain such other measuring devices and recorders to determine measurable inflows, measurable outflows, and water surface area and storage volume, such as a pressure transducer, metal tape, staff gauge, flow meters, flumes or other devices acceptable to the Division Engineer for the administration of the Subject Water Rights and needed to complete accounting required by this paragraph. Prior to diversion or storage of water, Denver Water shall provide the State and Division Engineers with actual stage-area-capacity curves or tables for the reservoirs. Accounting forms for the diversion, storage and release of water from the North and South Complexes have been developed. A copy of Denver Water’s accounting form is attached hereto as Exhibit C. The accounting form is not specifically decreed herein and may be changed from time to time with the approval of the Division Engineer, provided the modified accounting forms include, at a minimum, the following information for the North and South Reservoir Complexes: the name, location and date of the calling water right, measurements from approved measuring devices and recorders, all inflows to and outflows from the reservoir, reservoir contents (total and by water type), evaporation (total and by water type), in and out-of-priority precipitation falling on the reservoir, in and out-of-priority unmeasured inflows to the reservoir, running totals on the first fill and the refill, daily and cumulative river diversions under the Subject Water Rights and any other information contained on the accounting form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Advance written notice of thirty five (350) days will be provided to all Objectors before implementation of any proposed changes to the accounting form relating to requirements set forth in this Paragraph 32. The accounting form may be integrated with Denver Water’s other accounting forms provided the integrated accounting forms include, at a minimum, the following information for the North and South Reservoir Complexes: the name, location and date of the calling water right, measurements from approved measuring devices and recorders, all inflows to and outflows from the reservoir, reservoir contents (total and by water type), evaporation (total and by water type), in and out-of-priority precipitation falling on the reservoir, in and out-ofpriority unmeasured inflows to the reservoir, running totals on the first fill and the refill, daily and cumulative river diversions under the Subject Water Rights and any other information contained on the accounting form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Evaporation losses from the South and North Reservoir Complexes shall be calculated by multiplying the total water surface area in acres of the reservoirs in the particular complex by gross reservoir evaporation in feet. Daily gross reservoir evaporation in feet shall be calculated using daily alfalfa crop reference evapotranspiration (ETr) values obtained from a primary weather station located at the Denver Water Recycle Plant, and if data from such weather station is not available, at a secondary weather station located at Denver Water’s Moffat Treatment Plant. If data from neither weather station is available, Denver Water shall use the default ETr values shown in Table 2 below. Weather station data shall be used in conjunction with a commonly used and accepted evapotranspiration formula (ET formula), such as the ASCE Standardized Reference Evapotranspiration Equation, to compute alfalfa crop reference evapotranspiration (ETr) on a daily basis. Reference evapotranspiration from turf grass may also be used provided the alternative evapotranspiration values are converted to alfalfa crop reference evapotranspiration. Turf grass reference evapotranspiration (ETo) will be converted to ETr values using the factors set forth in Table 1 below:

Gross pan evaporation shall be computed by multiplying by 1.2 the daily standard alfalfa crop reference evapotranspiration in feet as calculated from the primary weather station, or secondary weather station as described above. Daily gross pan evaporation shall then be multiplied by a pan coefficient of 0.7 to obtain daily gross reservoir evaporation in feet. If no weather station data is available, the following values for daily standard alfalfa crop reference evapotranspiration shall be used as set forth in Table 2 below: Jan 0.006

Should Denver Water determine that the data from the primary or secondary weather station named above are no longer suitable for calculation of evaporation losses under this methodology, or a more suitable weather station becomes available, Denver Water may select a new primary and/or secondary weather station without amending this decree, after providing advance written notice to Opposers and the Division Engineer according to the notice and comment procedures and timeframes described above in this paragraph.

Evaporation losses from the South Reservoir Complex and the North Reservoir Complex shall be calculated individually for each complex by multiplying the total water surface area in acres of the reservoirs in the particular complex by gross reservoir evaporation in feet.

Real time gross reservoir evaporation in feet shall be determined on a daily basis using the following method: Gross pan evaporation shall be computed by multiplying daily standard alfalfa reference crop evapotranspiration (ETr) in feet published by the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (NCWCD) for the NCWCD Ft. Lupton weather station or for the NCWCD Longmont South weather station, if such data is not available from the NCWCD Ft. Lupton weather station, by 1.2 to determine daily gross pan evaporation in feet. Daily gross pan evaporation shall then be multiplied by a pan coefficient of 0.7 to obtain daily gross reservoir evaporation in feet.

Denver Water shall quantify and promptly return to the South Platte River all out-of-priority inflows to the North and South Gravel Pit Complexes. Denver Water shall submit accounting reports to State water administration officials on a monthly basis, or more frequently if required by State water administration officials. Denver Water shall make the accounting reports available to the other parties hereto upon request and upon payment of reasonable copying charges. The accounting year for purposes of this decree shall be November 1 through October 31 of the following year. For the North and South Reservoir Complexes, the total amount of water in storage under the first fill right and the refill right at the beginning of a new accounting year shall be considered carryover storage against the first fill storage right in the new accounting year. Water from other sources that remains in storage in the reservoir when the first fill right is filling in priority and there is insufficient capacity in the reservoir for such first fill right, shall, at Denver Water’s option, be released from the reservoir, booked over to the first fill right, or kept in the reservoir and an equivalent amount of water not diverted but available to the first fill right will be counted against the first fill of the storage right for that accounting year.

THE WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED BY THESE APPLICATIONS MAY AFFECT IN PRIORITY ANY WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED OR HERETOFORE ADJUDICATED WITHIN THIS DIVISION AND OWNERS OF AFFECTED RIGHTS MUST APPEAR TO OBJECT WITHIN THE TIME PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR BE FOREVER BARRED. YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that any party who wishes to oppose an application, or an amended application, may file with the Water Clerk, P. O.

Colorado Chapter of the Campaign to Fix the Debt Heads to Washington, D.C. for National Fly-In “I am honored to travel alongside other Coloradoans and deliver our message directly to our leaders. We remain committed to letting Senators Bennet and Udall and their fellow leaders in D.C. know that rushed, stop-gap measures like sequestration are not the answer. Our nation needs a comprehensive deficit-reduction agreement, or ‘grand bargain,’ to create an environment conducive to stability and growth.

We believe this to be an urgent matter and the time for action is now.”

Those attending the fly-in will take part in a number of campaign-related events, including the aforementioned meetings with Members of Congress and a reception that will outline the

progress made in the campaign to date and the group’s vision moving forward.

The Campaign to Fix the Debt is a national nonpartisan coalition of business leaders, elected officials, community leaders, academics and individual citizens to bring concerned individuals together and call on lawmakers to address the ballooning national debt. Through grassroots organizing, earned media activities and high-profile outreach, the Campaign to Fix the Debt is urging lawmakers to set aside political differences to formulate practical solutions to our nation’s debt problems.

Chamber Women in Leadership Conference to Inspire Attendees

On Friday, September 20th, the South Metro Denver Women in Leadership (WIL) will be hosting its 5th Annual Women’s Leadership Conference themed “WIL to Prosper.” This exciting and enlightening event will take place at the Embassy Suites DTC, 10250 E. Costilla Ave, Centennial, between 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The day will include a nourishing breakfast, morning and afternoon breakout sessions, the Annual Women’s Leadership Awards Luncheon, networking and cocktails. The Conference is sponsored this year by Safeway-Denver Division, University of Colorado Hospital-Lone Tree Health Center, Schomp Automotive and Park Meadows Retail Resort.

During the Women’s Leadership Awards Luncheon, four outstanding women who have helped to shape Denver business will be honored. KWGN news & talk show anchor Natalie Tysdal will be the Keynote Speaker. With a degree in broadcasting, Natalie has been with KWGN since 2002 and anchored the Emmy-award winning News2 This Morning show prior to her current position.

According to her web site (www. natalietysdal.com), “There is no greater

compliment than to entrust a reporter with your story. It can be personal and sometimes difficult. I’ve learned about journalism from both sides of the camera as the subject of stories and the reporter. I choose my words very carefully and I treat every story with the respect it deserves.” It is that sincere yet no-nonsense and honest approach that has won the hearts of many and gained the trust of viewers.

To facilitate bringing together women of different backgrounds and discuss some of the leading challenges and issues women leaders are faced with everyday, the conference will have a total of nine breakout sessions featuring topics for both business and personal development. These sessions will offer a variety of seminars, workshops and roundtable and will have many opportunities for speakers, trainers and facilitators to showcase their expertise. Topics include “The Art of Saying ‘No’”, “Empowering Your Team”, and “How to Maximize Business Relationships.”

The day will end with a Networking Cocktail event in order to allow the attendees the opportunity to unwind and share their experiences among themselves. An array of great prizes will be given away during the event. University of Colorado Hospitals will have their “Life Saver” mammogram bus onsite at The Embassy Suites DTC.

Summer volleyball a plus for players Heritage High coach sees benefit from weekly games

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com About 15 black-shirted players gathered around coach Doug Schafer as they prepared to take the floor for their July 9 game in the Englewood summer high school volleyball league.

“Playing in this summer league is a big help, as we use our play here as a measuring stick as we prepare for the high school volleyball season this fall,” said Schafer, who is coaching Heritage High School Eagles volleyball for the 14th season. “We lost about half last year’s starters, so we have younger players with little or no varsity experience who will be with us this season. This league is going to the University of Northern Colorado camp to help us be prepared when September rolls around.”

Englewood has a Tuesday league that is made up primarily of varsity level volleyball teams. There is also a Thursday night league that is made up of teams of players who will probably be playing junior varsity volleyball during the upcoming high school season.

Schafer had about 15 players on the sidelines at the July 9 three-game match against D’Evelyn. Points were hard to earn and long volleys were the standard rather than the exception. Heritage doesn’t have a lot of height, but there are Eagles players who have good timing and can jump so they can drive the ball to the floor. The Eagles won the match, 2 games to 1.

The coach made frequent substitutions in order to get the athletes as much playing time as possible as well as to see the teamwork when a particular combination of players was on the court together.

“We don’t have a lot of height so, like last year, a major focus will be defense because defense won us a lot of matches last season,” the coach said. “We lost some key defenders so, hopefully, we can find the players we need to fill those spots.”

The Eagles had a strong team last year and finished fifth at state. The coach said this year the summer league and camps are designed to help the team jell before the start of the season.

A player sets the ball for a Heritage hitter during the July 9 game against D’Evelyn in the Englewood High School Summer Volleyball League. The league has matches on Tuesday nights for varsity candidates and matches on Thursday nights for teams of younger players who are expected to be on JV teams in the fall. Photo by Tom Munds Schafer said one advantage of playing in a summer league and at camps is facing teams the Eagles won’t see during the regular season.

“A lot of teams play different styles and have their players at different locations than we normally do,” the coach said. “Playing against these different styles of attack and defense is good because it helps the players learn how to quickly adjust when they see

unfamiliar formations.”

One of the returning veterans is Ali Miller, who was all-state last season. The coach said she is a talented player who is a strong defender and covers the court well.

“Volleyball is my game. I started playing volleyball when I was very young and just grew to love the game,” she said. “I play club volleyball and I worked to get better during the off season because I am now a senior

and I want us to have a good year.”

She said the biggest improvement in the game is serving the volleyball.

“I just spent a lot of time serving the volleyball,” she said. “Coach worked with me and helped me as I just served the ball over and over again, looking to develop power but also ball placement. I feel I do that better now than I was doing last high school season.”

Speedway creates good memories for racers Drivers share stories of happy times at Bandimere

By Scott Stocker

Special to Colorado Community Media Johnny Gray, who competes in Funny Car, has a very recent moment that he said will last a long time in his memories of Bandimere Speedway. And, it involves Larry Crisp, John Bandimere’s son-in-law, who was injured last month in a track cleaning incident on the drag strip.

“What stands out for me is being here at 9:50 p.m. and seeing Larry out there working,” said Gray, who drives a 2013 Charger and hails from Artesia, N.M. “And, all this after his accident this summer here at the track. You can race all over the country and never see a family member working this late to get things done and to have the facility in such top shape.”

Gray qualified in the number 10 position with a speed of 304.74 mph and a :04.1-second pass up the track. As it turned out, it was not the best of days for Gray in the elimination rounds. He was defeated by Robert Hight of Yorba Linda, Calif., in the first round, with Hight making his winning pass at 4.213 seconds, 299 mph.

by Patrick Glenn “The Mile Highs are a special race for me and a special track,” Gray said. “It’s just one of the favorite tracks for all of us. I once held the track records here in both alcohol dragster and alcohol funny car, fine memories.

This will be my last full year, but I’m not get-

ting out of racing. I’ve driven five different classes here at Bandimere in my career. It’s humble to race here and I will always have fond memories.”

Top Fuel Dragster driver Brandon Bernstein has yet to win at Bandimere, but his

father, Kenny, had some pretty good days on the side of the mountain. Dad came through to win Mile High titles in 1981, 1985 and 1987. Brandon has two finals at Bandimere and has garnered 20 wins through his youthful career.

“When I was younger I went with dad to the races as soon as school was out,” said Bernstein, from Brownsburg, Ind. “Being at Bandimere was always a big for us and we always like to be ready for the Sunday final runs. This is such a great track and the Bandimere family has always been special to us.”

Bernstein certainly had hopes to come on strong and was feeling better after coming off an injury. He struggled a bit and eventually qualified 13th (:04.108 seconds, 251.49 mph).

“I’ve been feeling great,” Bernstein said prior to the Bandimere competition. “But there has been some numbness in my foot.

I think I can get back into the points race and we’re ready to meet the challenge.”

Bernstein opened his competition with a 3.949-second pass at 307.16 mph, upsetting No. 4 qualifier Khalid alBalooshi from Brownsburg. However, his day ended in the quarterfinals when he was defeated by Shawn Langdon, who also lives in Brownsburg (4.090/270.81 to 4.895/157.88).

Broken cycle, broken heart for Berry Littleton racer runs into bad luck at Bandimere

By Scott Stocker

Special to Colorado Community Media

Littleton’s Mike Berry had a broken heart when his Pro Stock Motorcycle broke in the classification semifinals of the Mopar Mile High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway, causing a subsequent loss to Hector Arana Jr. of Milltown, Ind. Berry had qualified in the No. 2 position behind the No. 1 qualifier, Adam Arana, who would foul out on his second run, losing to former Trinidad resident Andrew Hines.

Shawn Gann of Stoneville, N.C., was the classification winner, beating Hector Arana Jr. with his pass of 7.351 seconds at 181.08 mph to Arana’s n the 7.376/182.11 effort.

“I blew it up and we spun the wheels,” said a dejected Berry. “I’m ece volstatic about the weekend. We just need h me over to fix the problem. I’m not going to do ower the rest of the Western Swing, but I’ll bet- be coming back for Indianapolis. I just hool want to figure out the whole problem.

“Something worked early, not just at the end for me. I just want to get a handle on it. I’m really pleased overall with the weekend, but finals and a win would have been sweet. We were excited.”

Berry had reached the semifinals with a tremendous hole shot (.026 second) at the start, which enabled

him to beat Matt Smith of King, N.C. (7.383/178.89 to 7.354-181.08).

Funny car

It’s been two decades since Cruz Pedregon of Brownsburg, Ind., won at Bandimere, but he fashioned what can be called a near-perfect weekend, winning the Funny Car championship.

In the course of three days, Pedregon qualified No. 1 with a recordsetting pass of 4.073 seconds at 307.37 mph. He went on to defeat Bob Tasca III from Cranston, R.I., for the Mile High title with a pass of 4.233 seconds, 295.46 mph to Tasca III’s 4.408/257.04 effort.

In winning for the 33rd time in his career, Pedregon defeated Todd Simpson of Ponder, Texas (4.188/295.46 to 4.376/206.70) to open his run, Ron Capps of Carlsbad, Calif. (4.178/297.35 to 4.282/296.18), and Del Worsham of Villa Park, Calif. (4.232/292.84 to 5.261/155.9).

“To run the table with the low ET puts the pressure on,” Pedregon said.

“This is just a difficult place to race.

Each win means as much as it does with the other 33.

They just all mean a lot to me. Can we sweep the Western Swing? We’ll see. We’ve got the good start.”

Tasca III opened his run to the final upsetting John Force of Yorba Linda, California (4.268-296.76 to 4.313-288.33), followed by victories against Tim Wilkerson (4.237-303.03 to 4.307-274.22) and Robert Hight of Yorba Linda, California (4.221-302.89 to 4.434-230.13).

Top fuel dragster

Like Funny Car, there

were no Colorado drivers in Top Fuel, a classification won by Spencer Massey. Yet it was a step up in the right direction for the Brownsburg, Ind., resident.

Massey, who was the runner-up in the Mile Highs last season, came through to beat Bob Vandergriff of Alpharetta, Ga., with a pass of 3.974 seconds, 309.27 mph to Vandergriff’s 4.029/304.67 effort.

He had reached the final with his victory against teammate Shawn Langdon (3.966/309.98 to 3.975/309.20), his quarterfinal win over Mike Strasburg of Lehi, Utah (3.996/305.91 to 5.213/138.77), and his opening round win against Clay Millican of Drummonds, Tenn., (3.970/311.99 to 4.011/304.74).

Back to School with Allergies and Asthma Are You Ready?

With school right around the corner, make sure your child and the school are prepared for any asthma or allergies your child has.

• Health forms should be current with your child’s school.

Ask your doctor to fill out these forms when you receive them.

• Provide an updated asthma/allergy action plan to the school.

• Discuss your child’s health needs with school staff.

• Provide the school with the necessary medications and make sure they are not expired.

Schedule an appointment with National Jewish Health at Highlands Ranch or on our main campus to see one of our allergy/asthma specialists.

Make sure your child is ready for a new school year.
