Despite soggy grounds, a large crowd turned out for Kids Day at the 2014 Adams County Fair on what turned out to be a mostly sunny day.
Kids Day featured hamster balls on water, pony rides, a petting zoo, a climbing wall, in-fl ated slides and lots of giveaways and activities inside the Waymire Dome building.
Inside the Exhibit Hall, kids got to play in a
box full of corn kernels and watch honeybees at work in the Agriland section.
The fair celebrated its 110th anniversary during the rodeo on July 31. The rodeo has been part of the fair for its entire history. The grandstand arena was pretty muddy — but the weather dried out before the rodeo started.
The fi ve-day celebration began July 30 and ran through Aug. 3 at the Adams County Re-gional Park, 9755 Henderson Road in Brighton.
The theme behind this year’s fair was tradi-tional meets new. A new event this year on Aug.
2 was the Funnel Cake 5 & 10K Run/Walk, pro-ceeds benefi ted the Foster Families of Adams County. Offi cials hope this grows into a large, signature event of the fair.
Fair offi cials took a traditional activity — a scavenger hunt — and modernized it to be a QR Code Scavenger Hunt. There were 10 codes sprinkled throughout the fairgrounds and each person that collected all 10 won a prize.
There were few heritage contests, including ice-cream making contest using hand-cranked ice cream makers.

Fracking ballot initiatives dropped Task force plan in the works By Vic Vela [email protected]
Voters will not be weighing in on hydraulic fracturing this No-vember after all.
Gov. John Hickenlooper and U.S. Rep. Jared Polis announced an eleventh hour deal on Aug. 4 to create a special task force to address issues surrounding fracking — the very day that sig-
natures to put fracking on the November ballot were due for submission to the Secretary of State’s Office.
The task force is part of a deal that the two Democrats reached in the days leading up to the an-nouncement that will also end efforts by Polis to place two anti-fracking ballot initiatives on the November ballot.
Later in the day, pro-fracking groups said they too will drop their own ballot initiative efforts, suddenly ending what was gear-ing up to be a ballot box fight U.S. Rep. Jared Polis discusses the details of a deal reached with Gov. John Hickenlooper on Aug.

Attorney eyes District 3 seatSolano makes a bid for ADCO commissionerBy Tammy [email protected]
With decades of law experience under his belt, Manuel Solano said he believes
his expertise could be an asset if he was elected into office.
Solano is the Demo-cratic candidate for the District 3 representa-tive of the Adams County Board of County Commis-sioners.
“I have been an attor-ney for 38 years, and I felt it
was time for me to get out of the court-room and give back to the community,” he said.
Solano has worked as the regional di-rector for a national civil rights law firm and runs his own business, Solano Law Offices.
If elected, Solano said his main goal would be to get good jobs to Adams County that pay a livable wage. Ev-ery candidate says that, he said, “but I haven’t seen any results.”
He also wants to focus on Front Range Airport and get it to be a self-sustaining operation.
“Taxpayers have had to supplement (the airport) to the tune of $1.2 million per year for many years now,” Solano said.
Front Range is touted as being a re-gional hub, he said, so those in the region with an interest in the airport should help support it.
He suggested that the airport part-nered with nearby schools such as Metro State University of Denver and School of Mines to create a research and develop-
ment center.“We could have a wonderful educa-
tional facility out there,” Solano said.Solano said he has spent time with
Adams County employees and would like to have a closer relationship with them if elected. He said he thinks they unfairly live under a shadow of suspi-cion since the Quality Paving Scandal a few years ago — which involved county officials giving Quality no-bid contracts and about $1.8 million for work that was never completed or double-billed.
On the heels of the scandal, the coun-ty hired an independent ethics officer, from New York, which Solano said was not necessary.
“I think there are other areas we are spending money for outside services that could be brought into Adams County government,” he said.
While this may be his first run for po-litical office, he is no stranger to cam-paigning or the lifestyle of a politician.
His wife, Judy, served four terms as the representative for the state house Dis-trict 31 and is a candidate for the District 24 state senate seat.
“I’m very fortunate to have such a wonderful wife that has a passion for the community she is truly my backbone,” said the father of three and grandfather of five.
Solano has lived in Adams County for more than 50 years and currently lives in an unincorporated area. He gradu-ated from Adams City High School in 1965 and earned a degree in political sci-ence and sociology from the University of Colorado. He graduated in 1976 from law school at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
He has served on the Seventeenth Ju-dicial District Nomination commission, Legal Aid, Hispanic Bar Association, Col-orado Trial Lawyers Association and the Colorado Environmental Coalition.

New X-ray scanner approved for jailScanner will replace pat downs to locate contraband
By Tammy [email protected]
The security at the Adams County De-tention Center soon will be improved thanks to the county board’s approval to purchase a new body scanner.
The Adams County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously dur-ing the regular meeting on July 29, to ap-prove purchase of a Systems Sorter RS Scanner from Sierra Detention Systems
for $142,906.“In a jail operation our size, contra-
band is always an issue,” said Sheriff Doug Darr. “This gives us an opportunity to scan for those items, find them and do something about them before they get in the jail population.”
Jail personnel search the housing lo-cations in the jail on a weekly basis and often find contraband.
Before the purchase approval, Jenni-fer Tierney, contract administrator, told the board that the most frequent threats encountered at the jail is the introduc-tion of contraband such as narcotics, cell phones and weapons during the booking and receiving process.
“Instances of this occurring are be-coming more frequent,” she said. “Cur-rently the best screening method is strip searching inmates during the booking process. However, some inmates do not fit within the legal criteria for a strip search and enter the facility with only a pat down search.”
Tierney added that the current screen-ing method also does not catch the in-coming prisoners who ingest contraband in order to smuggle it into the detention center.
“Digital screening or scanning is one of the best methods of detecting internal and externally hidden contraband,” she said.
She listed the benefits of digital screening as the scan only taking 8 sec-onds, being able to identify paperclips hidden in body cavities and offering a thorough screening for individuals who do not fit the legal requirements for strip searching.
Sierra Detention Systems’ body scan-ner is in compliance with the Depart-ment of Health for emission of low dose X-ray and there is little impact to the in-dividuals being scanned, Tierney said.
The purchase price for the scanner in-cludes the one year manufacturer’s war-ranty and an extended three-year war-ranty.

Bringing a trailer full of treats Family charts 30-year history at fair rodeo By Lou Ellen Bromley
David and Allison Brown are familiar faces at the Adams County Fair and Rodeo for many fairgoers, after setting up their food trailer and selling funnel cakes, foot long corndogs, curly fries and fresh squeezed lemonade there for 30 years.
The Browns are the owners of a foodstand, called the Sugar’s Concessions, that they bring from Hot Springs, Arkansas to Colorado to work at the fair every year, and have been coming to Adams County Fair and Rodeo from the time Allison was a child.
“This was one of the very fi rst places we worked when my father and mother Pat and Anna Sherrill started the business,” said owner and chief cook, Allison Brown.
Her father Pat was involved in the food concession until he passed away two years ago this August.
“Although he couldn’t travel with the business in later years, we were able to accomplish everything he had hoped to do be-fore he passed,” Allison said.
Her parents started the business with one large fi sh frying tub, where her mother fried funnel cakes out in the open. That proved diffi cult so after a short while her father bought a can-vas booth to set the fryer in, which they had to take down ev-ery time they moved to a different location. Eventually he pur-chased an old station wagon so they could carry the tent, fryer and the family all together, making traveling a lot easier.
David and Allison travel with Sugar’s Concessions from April to October every year, all over the United States. From Long Island New York, to Lake Charles, Louisiana; Minot, North Da-kota; and into Wyoming, they work several different events in each state.
“Our heart and soul are in this business, it involves our whole family, Allison said.
The family members start their season in April with The Scottish Festival in Batesville, Arkansas, then travel to numer-ous locations all summer ending up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the Octoberfest Celebration. After Tulsa their travels end for a few months, giving them a chance to rest and get ready for next year.
Their lifestyle with the food concession can be an adventure,
Allison told about the time she traveled from Long Island, New York to Greeley, Colorado, for the Greeley Stampede in less than 24 hours. She also recalled another time that she and her aunt had a near miss traffi c accident while moving to a new location.
They lost a tire on the truck they were driving during a storm, causing the truck to spin several times on the wet road. She laughed and said her father told her “don’t spend too much getting it towed,” after he found out they were alright.
The business has grown over the years, and David and Alli-son now have three trailers and fi ve trucks. David is in charge of the equipment, keeping it repaired and making sure everything is in good working order.
David said, “We have been coming to Adams County for so long that we know where to take our equipment locally to have repairs done, and have developed friendships with several local merchants.”
The recipes for the funnel cakes they sell are created by Al-lison, she has used premade mixes in the past but found the taste and quality poor, so she has developed her own. At the fair this year they are offering the traditional funnel cake, plus a red velvet funnel cake with cream cheese icing and chocolate syrup along with powdered sugar on top.
Allison said her favorite funnel cake is a pumpkin spice
recipe they use at Octoberfest, saying it taste like pumpkin pie. Allison and her funnel cakes are going to be highlighted on the cable program, Spot on Carnival Eats which is part of The Food Network, and will air on The Food Network in the future.
The Browns have three children, Anna K, Grace Anne and Will, and three grandsons, Gunner, Ethan and Tucker. Anna lives in Arkansas with the three grandsons, Grace Anne is a journalist student at Lyons Collage in Batesville, Arkansas, and Will is a high school student in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Like their mother, the Brown’s children have been involved with the Sugar’s Concessions their whole lives, traveling with their parents every summer. Will was only six weeks old the fi rst time he was at the Adams County Fair. Grace Anne is with them this year helping her parents run the concession.
Allison said next summer all three of their grandsons will be traveling with them making four generations to work in the family business. Their son Will is the child David and Allison expect will carry on the Sugar’s Concessions after they can no longer run it.
“Will would like to be a professional football player, but also intends to continue to run the business when he is old enough.” said Allison.

VA overhaul garners overwhelming supportMove comes on heels of series of revelationsBy Vic [email protected]
Congress last week passed a bill aimed at reforming the Department of Veterans Affairs, an agency that has been the subject of intense scrutiny over a number of departmental fail-ures.
The $16 billion legislation would provide money for new VA medical facilities and the hiring of more doctors and nurses.
The bill would also allow veterans to see doctors outside the VA system if they are un-successful in obtaining an appointment.
A congressional conference committee worked to merge efforts by the Senate and the House of Representatives and came up with a compromise bill that passed the Senate on July 31 with overwhelming bipartisan support. It passed the House the day before.
“I think veterans are going to be better served now and the VA is going to be a better organization by veterans being able to vote with their feet if they’re not getting adequate care,” said Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora, a Republican and veteran who serves on the House Veterans Affairs Committee. The bill is a response to several alarming departmental failures that came to light in recent months.
A federal audit shows more than 57,000 vet-erans have waited at least three months to see a doctor, while others who asked for appoint-
ments never received one. Some veterans died while waiting months for an appointment.
Other findings have shown that VA em-ployees — whose bonuses are tied to wait time reductions — falsified reports to hide informa-tion about long wait times.
The scandal led to the resignation of de-partment director Eric Shinseki in May. The Senate on July 29 confirmed Robert McDonald as the department’s new secretary.
The bill would require that the agency send veterans to private health providers when the department is unable to provide care within 14 days.
The legislation would also ban bonuses for VA employees and puts in place greater over-sight over the department’s operations.
Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Golden
said he is particularly happy about being able to provide funding for more doctors and nurs-es, which he hopes will put an end to extraor-dinary wait times for appointments.
“I think this is going to benefit our veterans in both the short term and long term,” Perl-mutter said.
Members of Congress hope the legislation is the beginning of the end to an embarrassing ordeal.
“Our veterans have made incredible sacri-fices and we owe it to them to fulfill the prom-ises we have made,” said Republican Rep. Cory Gardner of Yuma. “What’s happened at the VA over the last several years has been shameful and unbecoming of the type of respect and the oath we have made, the solemn obligation we have made to our vets.”

ADAMS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ON THE RECORDThe Adams County Board of County Commissioners voted on the following
during its July 29 regular meeting.
Parking facilities workThe board unanimously approved a contract with Straightline Saw Cutting
for $359,661.20 to complete various repairs at parking lots at county facili-ties. The first portion of the project includes annual maintenance and minor repairs related to parking lots and drive lanes such as crack sealing, seal coating and striping. The second part includes major repairs such as removal and replacement of paving or resurfacing of poor condition areas at multiple lots as well as a new walkway for work release personnel at the jail. The third and final part of the work is the rework and replacement of a portion of the loop roadway at the Regional Park due to age, condition and improper drainage.
Phone upgradeThe board unanimously approved a contract with One Neck IT Solutions
for a Cisco Phone Upgrade in the amount of $406,115.93. The current Avaya phone system at the Adams County Detention Center, headquarters and the coroner’s office is one of the oldest systems in the county. The Avaya system had an end of sale in 2005 and an end of support in 2008, resulting in high sup-port costs through Avaya.
Cisco phones have been used in the county for the past 15 years and this approval will incorporate the jail, headquarters and coroner’s office into that system. The county had $450,000 allocated in the 2014 budget for this project.
Rezoning for Clear Creek Valley ParkThe board unanimously approved the request to rezone a 1 acre parcel at
5845 Lowell Blvd. in the Hyland Hills district from industrial to public lands, open space and facilities. This is part of an overall open space project for the Clear Creek Valley Park. The site is located along the west side of Lowell, north of 58th Avenue and south of 60th Avenue in the Berkeley neighborhood.
The district anticipates opening the park in 2016. The district plans to de-molish or move garage structures and an old farm house on this parcel of land.
Commissioners on board are Chairman Charles “Chaz” Tedesco, District 2, Eva Hendry, District 1, and Erik Hansen, District 3. The next regular board of county commissioners meeting will be at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 12, in the Public Hearing Room, Adams County Government Center, 4430 S.

VA overhaul garners overwhelming supportsaid he is particularly happy about being able to provide funding for more doctors and nurs-es, which he hopes will put an end to extraor-dinary wait times for appointments.
“I think this is going to benefit our veterans in both the short term and long term,” Perl-mutter said.
Members of Congress hope the legislation is the beginning of the end to an embarrassing ordeal.
“Our veterans have made incredible sacri-fices and we owe it to them to fulfill the prom-ises we have made,” said Republican Rep. Cory Gardner of Yuma. “What’s happened at the VA over the last several years has been shameful and unbecoming of the type of respect and the oath we have made, the solemn obligation we have made to our vets.”
Vote for lawsuit spurs another partisan splitBy Vic [email protected]
Colorado congressional Republicans insist that last week’s vote to sue President Barack Obama was a necessary response to “overreach” on the part of his administration.
But Democratic counterparts slammed Republi-cans for taking time just before leaving Washington for the summer recess to hold a purely partisan vote to sue the president rather than address issues that actually matter to Americans.
“What they’re doing certainly doesn’t do anything to help the middle class of America,” said Democrat-ic Rep. Ed Perlmutter.
The Republican-led House voted 225-201 to ap-prove a resolution to authorize House Speaker John Boehner to sue Obama on claims that the president has abused his power and has ignored the Constitu-tion.
No Democrats voted for the lawsuit and five Re-publicans also voted no.
Republicans claim that Obama has overreached on a number of areas where he has taken executive action.
But the lawsuit focuses specifically on the presi-dent’s decision to delay key provisions of the Afford-able Care Act. Republicans are unhappy that the president did not consult with Congress prior to tak-ing action to delay the requirement that businesses provide health coverage to their employees.
Democrats find it funny that the lawsuit focuses on a provision delay of Obamacare — a health care law that Republicans didn’t want to see implemented to begin with.
Republican Rep. Cory Gardner said he voted for the lawsuit because “we have an obligation to up-hold the Constitution and the Constitution requires a separation of powers.”
“The president has stepped across this line and has engaged in unilateral lawmaking,” Gardner said. “He’s weakened the legislative branch and strength-ened the executive branch at the expense of the leg-islative branch.”
Republican Rep. Mike Coffman said that if Demo-crats valued the preservation of constitutional sepa-ration of powers, they should have joined Republi-cans in voting for the lawsuit.
“It absolutely should have been bipartisan be-cause I think that anybody serving the Congress ought to be concerned about executive overreach, whether it’s a Republican in the White House or a Democrat in the White House,” Coffman said. “I think that we are co-equal branches of government and anybody serving in the Congress ought to be in-terested in preserving the power of the institution.”
But the public doesn’t seem to agree. Although Obama’s approval ratings continue to be anemic, results from a recent CNN/ORC International poll show that respondents oppose the lawsuit by a 57-41 percent ratio.
Coffman said he doesn’t concern himself with the possibility that voters might respond adversely to Re-publican efforts to sue the president.
“I only focus on what I’m doing,” he said. “I don’t focus on the Republican Party. I don’t focus on Wash-ington, D.C. I focus on what the voters in the district focus on.”
But Perlmutter said if that’s the case, then why aren’t Republicans focusing on passing legislation that matters to the public?
“That’s what they’re spending their time on,” Perl-mutter said of the lawsuit. “Instead of getting things done for Americans across the country, they’re suing the president and they can’t get done immigration reform, infrastructure, education, retirement secu-rity ... stuff that’s important that doesn’t get done.”

Lessons of a road warrior Things I learned while vacationing
around the state of Colorado last week:Colorado is an enormous state, and it
takes a long time to get places. This is a great thing, as long as your family is happy and getting along (or sleeping); a wise father knows when too much is too much (in other words, somebody other than me).
Seven is an interesting age for little boys — young enough to still be embar-rassed by their own, er, noises, but old enough to fi nd other peoples’ noises hysterically funny.
The hot springs resort at Pagosa Springs doesn’t get quite the publicity that the one at Glenwood does, but it should. The setting, right along the banks of the San Juan River, is stunning, and the resort is clean, and fun for the kids, and has lots of variety for everyone.
High mountain passes are one of my favorite things, but they’re not nearly as much fun when you’ve got the whole fam-ily in the car. A bit nerve-wracking. That said, Red Mountain Pass between Ouray and Silverton is astonishingly beautiful, though it is not for the faint of heart. At points, there is only about 9 inches of shoulder leading to 1,000-foot drop-offs. But, if you can stomach it, the views of the San Juan Mountains are gorgeous, and the high meadows that line parts of the road
are positively Kinkade-ian. Some day, I hope to ride my bike over it (yes, people do that — we passed three of them).
By the way, I would not recommend planning a day of travel that involved Red Mountain, Molas, and Wolf Creek passes. Especially if you have to race a hailstorm out of Durango along the way. Hard on the car, harder on the nerves.
Nor would I recommend running 6 miles of obstacle course race the day before heading out on a road trip. Sore muscles don’t respond well to being stuck in one position for hours.
MapQuest, and similar apps, are won-derful tools, but they’re not infallible. Still no substitute for being able to read a map.
There is only one thing worse, as a father, than going to a swimming pool with your beautiful teenage daughter, and that’s going to a swimming pool with your TWO beautiful teenage daughters.
Check that — what’s even worse than that is being the guy who has to drive the whole lot of ‘em home after, so you can’t even have a beer poolside to mitigate the pain.
How do you know you’ve done vacation right? When the whole family wants to put an early end to the fi nal day so they can get home to the puppies.
And, no, I am not an employee of the Colorado Tourism Board, or any travel agency. I just think it’s easy, as a native, to take the beauty and grandeur of this state for granted. There is so much to see and do in our own back yard that it seems foolish to send too much of our tourism money elsewhere.
And fi nally, of all the resources you have to marshal to pull off a great vaca-tion, there is one that you get back, and it’s the most limited of them all: time. I am painfully aware of the inexorable passage of time, now that Elizabeth is gradu-ated and plotting her future, and a good vacation is an invaluable way to slow that down — to push the sun back up a little higher in the sky for one more day.

Community Reach hires new COO By Ashley Reimers [email protected]
Community Reach Center, an Adams County nonprofi t mental health center, has a new Chief Operating Offi cer, Tamara Player. She was recently hired to oversee the daily operations of the organization, which has fi ve outpatient offi ces in Brigh-ton, Commerce City, Northglenn, Thornton and Westminster.
As the new COO, Player said she’s dedi-cated to ensuring Community Reach pro-vides an effective and effi cient experience to all consumers.
“We have a customer service e philoso-
phy that is based on STAR, safety, trust, accountability and respect,” she said. “We want everyone who walks through the door, including staff, to have a positive experi-ence.”
Player, a licensed clinical social work-er, comes to Community Reach with 20 years of ex-perience in the mental health fi eld. She was re-cently a COO at a mental health center in northern Maine. She said when she fi rst learned about Com-munity Reach, she was ex-cited to see the innovation, focus on wellness and the
commitment to the consumers and com-munity partners.
“I really hope to continue to help Com-munity Reach build off the strengths the organization already has as well as looking at the future of where health care is head-ed,” she said. “I am so pleased to be a part of the team and look forward to continuing the excellent work that happens every day across our center.”
Player credits community health centers like Community Reach as being a safety net providing care to people when other busi-nesses or organizations can’t. Regardless of age, background or ability to pay, Commu-nity Reach can provide a wide range servic-es to Adams County residents, she added.
“We can support people dealing with daily stress all the way up to signifi cant cri-sis,” Player said. “We’re here to help with substance abuse and also mental health in many different facilities all across the county.”
Community Reach’s mission is to en-hance the health of the community. The work is made possible through services including individual and group therapy, early childhood and school-based services, substance abuse treatment, emergency ser-vices and therapeutic support groups.

ing up to be a ballot box fight that was expected to be costly – both in terms of campaign advertising dollars and poten-tially in political price for other candi-dates seeking office this fall.
The Polis-backed initiatives sought to increase setback requirements for wells and would have also given communities greater control over oil and gas drilling operations.
Pro-fracking groups had sought initia-tives that could have had economic im-pacts on communities that ban fracking – the process by which water and chemi-cals are blasted into the ground to free up trapped oil and gas underneath.
Also as part of the agreement, Hicken-looper said the state would work to end a lawsuit against Longmont over new oil and gas regulations the city adopted two years ago.
But the big news is the agreement to pull the ballot measures.
Hickenlooper and the oil and gas in-dustry had opposed Polis’ efforts, con-cerned that the initiatives would be akin to a fracking ban in a state that relies on drilling to feed the economy.
And Democrats were concerned that an expensive fracking battle would hurt candidates this November, especially Sen. Mark Udall, who is locked in a tight re-election campaign against U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner.
But those fears for Democrats now ap-pear to be over as Polis announced he is backing off of his efforts to continue to pursue the initiatives, measures that he had been helping to finance.
Polis said during a Capitol press con-ference that he considers the creation of a task force to be “a victory for the people of Colorado.”
“For the first time, with the commis-sion that the governor mentioned, citi-zens will be on equal footing with the oil and gas industry and will be able to di-rectly negotiate to protect their property rights, home values, and air quality,” Po-lis said.
The 18-member task force would be charged with helping to “minimize land use conflicts that can occur when siting oil and gas facilities near homes, schools, businesses and recreational areas,” ac-cording to the governor’s office.
The task force would be made up a di-verse group of members from across all
business fields. Members would include representatives from the industries of oil and gas, conservation, agriculture, home builders and local governments and civic leaders.
The task force would make recom-mendations on fracking issues to the Leg-islature.
Although the agreement had been an-nounced by the governor and Polis, it was still unclear at the time of the press event whether pro-fracking groups would agree to drop their own measures.
That question was answered late that evening by Rep. Frank McNulty, R-High-lands Ranch, who was behind an initia-tive that would have prohibited commu-nities that ban fracking from collecting revenues that are a part of oil and gas rev-enue allocation.
McNulty said through a press state-ment that he would suspend his efforts, calling the decision by Polis to drop his initiatives was “an exciting turn of events.”
Another pro-fracking initiative, which would have dealt with financial disclo-sure issues of future ballot measures that deal with energy development, was also dropped.
Hickenlooper had cautioned for months that the ballot initiatives could have “draconian” results on an industry that generates jobs and contributes bil-lions of dollars to the Colorado economy.
For months, the governor held out hope of calling a special session to ad-dress local control issues surrounding fracking, only to call off those efforts last month after a compromise had failed to materialize.
It now appears that the governor doesn’t have to worry about an expensive fight over fracking in November.
“The (task force) will provide an al-ternative to ballot initiatives that, if suc-cessful, would have regulated the oil and gas industry through the rigidity of con-stitutional amendments and would have imposed a significant threat to Colorado’s economy,” Hickenlooper said.
As for the Longmont litigation, Hick-enlooper said he would call on the Colo-rado Oil and Gas Commission to drop its lawsuit against the city. The city had created its own set of rules surrounding fracking, including a requirement that wells be placed at least 750 feet from an occupied dwelling.
The lawsuit marked the first time the state had sued a city over its own oil and gas rules.
Fracking politics plays out
Former Congressman Bob Beauprez, who is running against Hickenlooper this fall, blasted the “backroom deal” reached by the governor and Polis as having left “many unanswered questions.”
Colorado Republican Chairman Ryan Call was also critical of the announce-ment.
“Literally, the only thing that we know for certain after today’s press conference is that Gov. Hickenlooper, Jared Polis and Colorado Democrats want even more control over Colorado’s already heav-ily regulated energy industry,” Call said through an emailed statement.
As for Udall, he had been in a tough spot on the fracking issue, considering that a large number of environmentalists — a key Udall constituency — had been behind Polis’ efforts.
The senator issued a statement in fa-vor of the agreement.
“This deal — which averts a divisive and counterproductive ballot fight over one-size-fits-all restrictions — is wel-come news and underscores how all of Colorado benefits when we find common ground,” Udall said.
Polis, whose district includes some cities that have voted to ban fracking, told reporters that he had never been pressured by fellow Democrats worried about the political ramifications to halt his efforts.
“I would say no,” Polis said. “The Dem-ocrats in my district were very excited about these initiatives and the chance
to fight it out and protect their homes.
Obviously this will be disappointing to
some of my constituents, Republican
and Democratic, but I would point out to
them that there’s been progress made.”

Stepsister to Anne Frank shares story of surviving the Holocaust
History continues on Page 13
Chefs warm up here, then heat up East
New York Eater, the national website that has a Denver version (www.denver.eater.com), has traced the culinary trek of Colorado chefs who have packed their knives and migrated to The Big Apple.
While writer Nick Solares highlights the Colorado kitchen careers of a number of chefs who practiced their craft at The Little Nell in Aspen and Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder in particular, the story had a glaring omission — my son, On the Town Junior.
Mackenzie Parker Harden moved to New York City more than a year ago to pursue a performing arts career, but fell back on the restaurant training he received at Elway’s, El Diablo and (as a sage) at TAG, and landed a server job at Maialino, a much-lauded jewel in the crown of the Union Square Hospitality Group, helmed by noted restaurateur Danny Meyer.
The story credits the culinary pro-gram of The Little Nell resort in Aspen and Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder for providing top New York restaurant whiz-zes. Among those former Coloradans are Dustin Wilson, the sommelier at Eleven Madison Park, Sabato Sagaria, chief res-taurant officer for Union Square Hospital-ity Group and seemingly the entire staff of Charlie Bird, to name but a few.
The story notes: “Is Colorado turn-ing into a farm system for NYC kitchens? Is this just a strange coincidence? Or is there, in fact, a Colorado connection? Eater talked with some of the state’s no-table expats to find out just why, exactly, so many talented hospitality profession-als are migrating from Colorado to New York.”
It continues: “Colorado is in many ways the quintessential Western state, and the resourcefulness and spirit of indepen-dence that were such driving forces in the migration across the plains still manifest themselves there. `It’s hard to live in Colo-rado if you are not a motivated person,’ says Ryan Hardy, chef and owner of Char-lie Bird in NYC. Originally from Kentucky, Hardy spent a decade in Colorado before moving to New York and opening his own restaurant. He has played a role in the cross-pollination of restaurant cultures between the two places, bringing others from Colorado, such as Grant Reynolds, the wine director at Charlie Bird, with him.”

A tattoo is often more than skin deep.
A-5272, a number forever inked upon Eva Schloss’s forearm, serves as a stark reminder of that.
Silent for years, Schloss now travels the world sharing her experiences of the Holocaust.
“At the moment, it’s more necessary to speak about it and educate young people about discrimination. It’s more than ever necessary to stress the dangers,” she said. “At the time, people would say they don’t know or didn’t know about the concentration camps — people denied the general knowledge, but now, when you see everything in
your own living room the whole world has become much smaller, you see what is happening and what goes on.”
Born in Vienna in 1929, Schloss was a happy, outdoorsy girl who loved to go mountain climbing and skiing with her father. That life was soon interrupted when, at age 9, the Nazis invaded Austria, forcing her, her brother Heinz, and
her parents to temporarily move to Belgium.“I was treated like a Jewish refugee, an unwelcome citi-
zen, and I really suffered,” she said. “In February, 1940 we moved to Amsterdam. At first, it was very nice, the Dutch were very friendly, wanted to know what life was like in other countries, but as soon as the Nazis came in it was ter-rible.”
In Amsterdam, Schloss lived across from famed World War II diarist, Anne Frank. She and Frank swiftly became friends and sometimes skipped and played hopscotch together.
For the next two years, the two visited one another play-ing in the square in their Amsterdam neighborhood, Mer-wedeplein, until one day their families received a call.
“After two years, when my brother was called up to be deported — it was exactly the same time when Anne’s older sister, Margot, got this call up notice and they went into hid-
ing,” she said.Concealed by members of the Dutch Resistance, both
families were forced to hide from the SS. Separated from her father and brother, Schloss, an active teenager at the time, and
her mother moved from spare room to spare room for two years, living in a daily prison of silence until their confidants returned to
their residences.“I was cooped up in a little room, and had to sit still through the
whole day, not meet any friends, not do anything, and so it was first of all, terribly boring and as well as very scary,” she said. “It was sort of
really like a prison.”On Schloss’s 15th birthday, the women were taken by their confidant,
a Dutch nurse acting as a double agent, to a Nazi trap, where they were interrogated and deported. Within three days of their capture, the pair were
reunited with their family, and forced to board a train and travel to an unknown destination.
A journey where only one thought crossed their minds: “Within a day or two we would be killed.”
Destined for the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, upon arrival, the family, and other deportees, were separated according to age and gender. Many of the elderly and children were immediately selected to be gassed.
Dressed in a longer coat, Schloss appeared to be older than she was and was passed over for selection — a harrowing occurrence she would be forced to endure several
times during the following nine months of her life.“My mother and me were really lucky because I was quite young still to have
passed the first selection,” she said, “and then we entered the camp.”The life which followed was one no one was meant to survive.
On a daily basis, Schloss and the other prisoners were exposed to the depravity of the inhumane conditions the SS forced upon them. Every
morning, prisoners were forced to rise early, perform laborious tasks in extreme environments, were given little to no food, and were ex-
posed to illnesses and medical concerns such as lice, typhus, and bedbugs.
Through a series of small, unusual events, Schloss was con-tinually passed over for selection. While separated, she saw
her father on occasion, but would never see her brother again.
“Little incidents again that helped me live another day — another week ,” she said. “I was lucky and we
were lucky that we were liberated in January 1945, so before the war was really finished. I could cer-
tainly not have made it to the end of the war.”

Lik-en showcased a sweet corn summer salad emphasizing this quintessential summer dish that brings the fl avors of Colorado and the summer season to the table. Finishing off the segment, Liken demon-strated her cucumber lime elixir cocktail.
A James Beard Award nominee, “Iron Chef” and “Top Chef” alum, Liken con-tinues to raise awareness of eating and cooking seasonal food. She hosts Summer Harvest Sunday Suppers through Oct. 5 at her Vail eatery.
“A proper summer in Colorado is not complete without a backyard meal to-gether with friends enjoying good cock-tails or a beer, or a Sunday Supper around the table with loved ones,” she said.

In the middle of winter in 1945, SS of-fi cers began to empty the camp, sending more than 60,000 prisoners out on death marches to the village of Wodzislaw, be-fore fl eeing the site themselves.
Alone in the camp, Schloss, her mother and approximately 7,000 prison-ers stayed behind, and for 10 days they waited.
“There were very few people because most of the people had been taken out to
Germany and Austria,” she said. “It was luck again that my mother and me didn’t go, we stayed behind, and after 10 days the Russians came.”
The soldiers provided the prisoners with food, such as greasy cabbage soup, and medicine, but while liberated, many of the weakened prisoners succumbed to starvation, malnutrition and disease on their journey home.
During the camp’s history, Schloss among an estimated 1.3 million Jews passed through Auschwitz’ gates, but less than 200,000 survived.
“When I look back, I’m amazed that any human being could survive that,” she said.
Following liberation and the end of the war, Schloss and her mother returned to their home in Amsterdam, where, slowly, life began to move on. Over the coming years, her mother reconnected with their neighbor, Anne’s father, the widower Otto Frank, whom she later married.
But for Schloss, life after the war was diffi cult. Full of hatred, she suppressed her experiences, never sharing them until a moment in 1986, when the tale fl owed out like water.
“It was actually a great relief,” she said. “It felt as if people wanted to know; people were very interested at that time … there was a big curiosity as to what had hap-
pened and how and why you survived.”Twenty eight years later, Schloss is still
telling her story, and uses her experiences to educate people about the dangers of prejudices and the beauty of life.
“Through every diffi culty there’s al-ways a silver lining,” she said. “Life has so much beautiful things to offer, if only you see it and take it.”
Schloss lives in London with her hus-band, Zvi Schloss. The couple has three daughters: Caroline, Sylvia and Jacqueline and fi ve grandchildren.
Schloss will visit the Arvada Center to present her survival story and experiences on Friday, Aug. 22.

City of Brighton secures agreement on oil, gas issue
The City of Brighton staff and spe-cial counsel have been working for sev-eral months with the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) and the Oil & Gas industry, represented by Colo-rado Oil and Gas Association (COGA) on a collaborative approach to protect the city of Brighton’s domestic water source during oil and gas exploration.
On July 28, the COGCC unanimous-ly passed a new order which requires specific measures of the oil and gas in-dustry to protect groundwater in and around Brighton.
This special ruling recognizes the
unusual circumstance that Brighton obtains the majority of its municipal water supply from shallow groundwa-ter wells.
The order establishes buffer zones and best management practices and prevents the drilling of new oil and gas wells within 500 feet of an existing city water well and within 300 feet of any river, stream, lake or ditch which is part of the water supply system for the city.
Additional ground water sampling is required within one-half mile radius from any existing city well and within 500 feet of a river, stream, or lake relat-ed to the Brighton water supply.

All �ags, and fun in footballBrighton Recreation Center starts youth �ag football soonBy Michelle [email protected]
Flag football is all about community and fun in Brighton.
“It’s a great alternative to tackle foot-ball,” Brighton Youth Sports Coordina-tor John Krumpholz said. “We usually have about 150 youth participating in the sport.”
The football program as with other youth sports have players ages 4 to 17. Students are placed on teams according to their age.
The Brighton Recreation Center is still taking registrations for youth flag football online or in person until Fri-day, Aug. 22. Cost is $45 or $50 if after registration deadline, with a T-shirt in-cluded.
“This program focuses on skills, training and fun,” he said. “There’s no blocking in a fast-paced football game. Teams have 10 members, with five members playing at a time.”
Krumpholz said that the recreation
center believes that flag football is a sport that everyone can play regardless of size, strength or skill.
Games are based on the National Football Leagues’ “Air it Out” format, where each team plays five players on the field at a time. Football teams prac-tice twice a week, with games on Satur-days.
There are no requirements for play-ers to wear cleats, and no player will be allowed to wear metal cleats. Players will be issued flag belts by coaches to be worn at practices and games.
Krumpholz said that volunteer coaches are always needed in all youth sports. “Without our volunteer coaches, we wouldn’t be able to offer our pro-grams at the inexpensive fees that we do,” he said.
Visit www.brighton.co.gov/youths-ports and click on “coach’s corner” for an application.
For more information or questions comment John Krumpholz at 303-655-2200 or email at [email protected]. Registrations also may be taken online at www.webtrac.brightonco.gov. or in person at 55 N. 11th Ave. Brighton.
Brighton baseball has strong future aheadSchool C team successful over the summerBy Michelle [email protected]
The C team of the Brighton High School summer baseball program played in two dif-ferent leagues and several tournaments this year.
“This summer has been incredible,” Coach Andy Botello said. “Our record was 48-13 (2 by forfeit) and we ended the season on a 17-game win streak, ultimately winning the 15-and-under Connie Mack State tournament and Legion C State tournament both hosted by Brighton Baseball at Duke White Field.”
“We carried 16 athletes on the roster, all young men who attended BHS or will attend BHS this fall. Truly, we’re developing champi-onship teams by staying ‘home grown.’”
Botello said the team played one or two games nearly every day this summer, but that schedule has enabled the athletes to develop the skills necessary to contribute to the BHS teams over the next several years.
“I feel we have a bright future here in Brigh-ton in terms of baseball, but it’ll take a lot of
hard work by all — especially the boys,” he said.
“Overall, we just graduated a very talented group of about 12 seniors who played well dur-ing their time here, and many of those athletes will be attending various colleges on baseball scholarships. This group has opened many doors for the program and especially for the legion C team. We owe a lot to the seniors as they’ve paved the way to future success for the BHS baseball program.”
Botello believes that success of the summer was that of Coach Ray Garza, who over the past four years has surrounded himself with good coaches who believe in the vision the athletic department has set forth — guys who are wil-ingl to help implement the blueprint for build-ing a championship program.
“Part of that winning formula is building a strong youth program that’ll build the neces-sary baseball knowledge and base,” Botello said. “Often times many veteran coaches say championship programs are built in the youth program. This was evident with the several youth teams winning their own state titles (8’s and 11’s won one title and were runner ups in a second). An even larger part of the formula is the complete team effort that the boys put forth, as each one of the 16 kids contributed somehow, someway to winning these titles.
The third winning ingredient is just plain hard work by the athletes (and tremendous support from their families) and the coaches providing purposeful practices and games, all with the intent of learning the game.”
Botello has been coaching baseball for 10 years. He’s coached eight of those years as an assistant at Abraham Lincoln High School in Denver, and two years at Bruce Randolph School also in Denver and one as a volunteer for the Brighton High School freshmen team this past spring. Also during the spring he coached a 12-year-old feeder team that was started three years ago for the BHS program under the mentorship of Coach Garza.
“I’ve coached this group which then turned into our C team,” he said. “I love to coach kids, but my experience and background is working with kids who grow up in socio-economically challenged areas and who, through baseball can learn life lessons, keep kids off the street and possibly obtain a higher education using baseball as an avenue. By trade I’m a teacher and just enjoying working with kids.”
He coaches in Brighton because he has a son on the C team who will be a sophomore at BHS this fall. “Coaching also gives me the chance to spend some time with my son work-ing on the field and getting extra work, because before you know it, he’ll be grown up.”
“From day one, Coach Botello has been committed to creating and supporting an in-tellectual community devoted to teaching, learning and providing the opportunity for personal and intellectual growth for our ath-letes,” Coach Ray Garza said. “The program credits much of that growth and success to the hard work and dedication he has put in over the years. He’s taught and developed sport specific skills, in a safe and prudent manner. He’s also developed and maintained up-to-date lessons plans of pre-season/in-season practice drills and procedures.”
Garza said Botello has also been in charge of scheduling practices and has helped with game preparation sessions. “Coach is not shy to initiate new ideas and methods to improve the program,” he said. “Andy also goes above and beyond the call of duty as he’s always put-ting extra hours on the field whenever asked or needed. There are a number of times that you’ll find him working on both fields from sun up to sun down. His hard work and dedi-cation is beyond reproach.”
“We are proud to be a part of a winning program,” Botello said. “The team and coach-es would like to thank the parents, volunteers and the community for a great season and for making these state championships possible.”

Your guide to the Broncos seasonCENTENNIAL – The 2014 Denver Bron-
cos season is officially here with the start of the team’s first preseason game kicking off tonight when the club hosts the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks.
But even those that bleed orange and blue might not be caught up on everything Broncos they need to know going into the season.
So we are going to give you the ultimate guide to the season which will catch you up with everything about the Broncos needed to make you the smartest fan at the water cooler.
First we have to go back to the 43-8 di-saster that was the Super Bowl. Denver was completely outclassed and manhandled by a Seahawks team that was simply tougher.
Therefore John Elway’s first priority of the offseason was attempting to solidify the defense by adding several high priced free agents on the defensive side of the ball.
The Broncos spent nearly $120 million on three players; defensive lineman De-Marcus Ware, cornerback Aqib Talib and hard-hitting safety T.J. Ward.
Elway is hoping these free agent addi-tions, plus the drafting of cornerback Brad-ley Roby with the team’s No. 1 draft pick,
will be enough to add a toughness groove to Denver’s finesse roster.
Over the OTA (organized team activities) period and now through training camp Denver has managed to stay healthy and get numerous players back who didn’t par-ticipate in the Super Bowl.
Von Miller, Chris Harris, Kevin Vicker-son, Derek Wolfe and Rahim Moore were all defensive starters for Denver who missed the Super Bowl due to injuries.
Pair the five up with the four new defen-sive players and the Broncos literally have an entirely different looking defense than the one that played in the Super Bowl.
On the offensive side of the ball Denver lost a pair of offensive players in Eric Deck-er and Knowshon Moreno that were great contributors to last season’s campaign.
However, the team might just be better with the additions of free agent receiver Emmanuel Sanders and the emergence of Montee Ball.
Sanders will add a down-the-field deep threat that the Broncos didn’t have, add-ing another dimension to an offense that statistically was the best in NFL history last season.
Ball on the other hand is a different story. He was one of the greatest collegiate run-ning backs of all-time at Wisconsin but the fact remains that Ball is still an unproven product in the NFL.
Not only does Ball need to run the ball effectively but he needs to contribute in the passing game as well. And most important-ly, he must protect Peyton Manning in pass protection.
The franchise fully believes in Ball, to the point where they did not bring in a veteran running back in case he struggles. But the running back position is a concern for this team.
Regarding Denver’s schedule, it might not be as easy to get to 13 wins as it has been over the past two seasons.
The Broncos have to play the NFC West (Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, St. Louis
Rams and Arizona Cardinals) which was the NFL’s toughest division last season. All four of those NFL West teams could be con-sidered as having top-eight defenses in the league this season.
Moreover, the Broncos also have to play the Indianapolis Colts (who beat them 39-33 last season), the New England Patriots and the Cincinnati Bengals, as well as their own AFC West Schedule.
Therefore, Denver might go from 13 wins last season to 11-12 wins this season, which could mean they might have to go to Indianapolis or New England in the AFC Championship game.
However, because of their brutal sched-ule there is a chance that the Broncos could come out more battle-tested and prepared to face whichever NFC team comes out of that conference.
Lastly, karma in sports is a powerful thing and the Broncos might be due to re-ceive a little this season.
Denver was devastated with injuries last season that finally caught up with them in the Super Bowl. But if the Broncos can catch up with the Seahawks in the 2015 Su-per Bowl, it will be something we will have to sit back and watch play out.
