Request for dance hall continued Former Knights of Columbus facility eyed for event center rental By Tammy Kranz [email protected]
Adams County Board of Commissioners continued a request for a new public dance hall license at the former Knights of Colum-bus facility, 6910 York St. in Denver.
The decision came during the board’s Aug. 5 regular board meeting.
County staff recommended the board deny the license because the facility was in an agriculture zone and it would have to be rezoned as industrial for that particular use.
The applicant, Valerie Beltran, asked the board to approve the license while the own-ers worked on getting the property rezoned.
“The building was built there in 1957 and it has been used as a hall — as a rental hall, which is what we’re planning on using it for — so the use has not changed,” she said. “The only thing that has changed is it went
from a nonprofit club license to a private li-cense, a regular business.”
Beltran said she understood the zoning needed to be corrected, but pointed out that the facility was bought in March and the owners have been working with the county since before that and it was just recently that the zoning issue came to light.
District 3 Commissioner Erik Hansen was unclear why the county could not allow the applicant a conditional use permit like they

Talk puts fracking front and center Hickenlooper says panel seeking compromise will be his responsibility By Vic Vela [email protected]
Gov. John Hickenlooper said last week that he will be the one who selects the members of a task force that will be charged with fi nding a compromise on issues sur-rounding hydraulic fracturing.
The governor also addressed concerns on the part of Republicans that the com-mission’s work could result in more regula-tions on the oil and gas industry.
Hickenlooper talked about fracking dur-ing an Aug. 8 roundtable event with several business leaders at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce in Centennial, as well as during an interview with Colorado Community Media afterward.
The governor said his administration hasn’t quite fi gured out how the 18-mem-ber commission will be selected or how it will ultimately operate. But the governor put aside any question as to who will put the task force together.
“People ask me, `Who’s gonna pick ‘em?’ I am,” Hickenlooper said. “The buck stops here and I guarantee you we’re going to have everybody pissed off again. The one criteria is that everyone who is going to be on that list is someone who believes we can get to a yes (on a compromise).”
The task force was born out of a deal the governor reached with Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis earlier in the week that will keep anti-fracking initiatives that Polis was backing from appearing on the November ballot.
The measures would have required greater distances between wells and occu-pied structures and would have given com-munities more control over fracking — the process in which water and chemicals are blasted into the ground to free up trapped oil and gas.
Remarks in spotlightHickenlooper and the oil and gas indus-
try were fearful that the initiatives would
essentially ban fracking in Colorado and cripple the state’s economy.
Instead of the voters, it will be the task force that will take up those issues and that will provide recommendations for poten-tial legislation to the General Assembly.
But Republican lawmakers are already feeling uneasy about the commission. And their concerns were heightened follow-ing comments Hickenlooper made during an energy summit in Denver earlier in the week.
According to the Associated Press, Hick-enlooper said the task force’s “success is de-pendent upon it ending in regulation.” That comment didn’t sit well with House Minor-ity Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland.
“We should go into it from the premise that the commission take a look at whether we actually need regulations,” DelGrosso said in an interview prior to the governor’s Chamber of Commerce event. “He’s start-ing with the premise that it’s going to be set up to regulate.”
Hickenlooper, in an interview with Col-orado Community Media, insisted that’s not what he said, even though he made his comments in front of a group of reporters.
“What I said was legislation,” the gover-nor said. “Go back and look at the quotes. I never said we needed more regulation. Now, we might. Again, this is the whole point of getting people from all the differ-ent viewpoints in the same room and let-ting them have a discussion in such a way to try to fi gure out: `Is there a compromise here?’”
Hickenlooper said he would like to see the task force’s effort result in some kind of legislation, even if it’s merely “taking exist-ing regulation and codifying it.”
“Unless we get it into legislation, I mean we would have made progress, even if we just discuss it we will have made progress,” he said during the interview. “But I think that the best success will be if we get to some level of legislation.”
Hickenlooper said the commission will have a “narrow focus,” one that he hopes will result in work getting done in a timely manner.
“We’re not going to be out there talking about air quality; we’re not going to be out there talking about water quality,” he said.
“We’re really going to look into surface use issues, a very narrow set of issues to talk about.”
From 48 to 18The governor said there were differ-
ent opinions among his staff regarding the makeup of the commission, including an initial suggestion that the task force have 48 members.
The governor believes that an 18-mem-ber commission will have the appropriate balance of interests being considered.
“The idea is there’s six spots for the oil and gas industry, but that would include pro-industry sides like home builders and agricultural interests,” he said during the roundtable forum. “There should be six from the local control and the environmen-tal side of things ... And then six civic lead-ers who as far as we can tell are not on the record one way or the other, who are what the Quakers call a fair witness.”
The governor acknowledges that there are logistics that still need to be fi gured out.
“We still have a lot to work through,” he said. “You know, (such as) if you want a rep-
resentative from agriculture, is it from the Cattlemen’s Association or the wheat grow-ers?”
State Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, the chairman of the House Transportation and Energy Committee who crafted several pieces of energy-related legislation, said he is hopeful that the task force will result in legislation that is needed to tackle this “re-ally thorny problem.”
“We need to make sure that everybody has a voice,” Tyler said in a phone interview. “Ballot initiatives are a huge sledgeham-mer and you never know what the conse-quences are going to be and you can’t make changes. And that’s not good policy.”
But DelGrosso said he doesn’t know “if you’ll actually see legislation come out of the commission.”
And, when asked how a battle over frack-ing would rank on the list of other contro-versial measures taken up by the General Assembly in recent years, DelGrosso said, “Extremely high.”
“The reality is the economic impact that the oil and gas industry has in Colorado is tremendous,” DelGrosso said.

After-school programs o� ered by Anythink By Michelle Boyer [email protected]
School is fast approaching, and the Brighton Anythink Library will still be keeping active with youth programs for the community.
“Normal library programming will begin the week of Aug. 18 when most of the Brighton kids go back to school,” said Melody Costa, Anythink children’s guide. “We’ll have programming for babies, tod-dlers, preschoolers, tweens and teens.
“Baby Bounce, Toddler Tales, Prime-time for Preschoolers and Music and Movement are for the very young set Anythinkers. These programs focus on
showing parents how to help their young ones develop early literacy skills. Of course this is done in a way that makes the kids feel like they’re playing and hav-ing a grand time.”
The programs Costa does for the el-ementary age children will be focused mainly after school on Wednesdays.
“I tend to get up to 80 kids in a two-hour period, so I try to do a program that they can do with minimal directions,” she said. “I usually have quite a few parents and caregivers that come to this program with the kids so they help out a lot. How-ever, I do try to do programs that’ll teach the kids a new skill or pique their interest to learn more about something.”
She said this fall the students will learn the artistic form of ink blowing, discover the science behind kaleidoscopes and their own flip books.
“We’re also trying to do some more family programming in the Studio,” she said. “We know these types of program-ming will be popular because registra-tions will fill up.”
On Wednesday, Aug. 20, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. there will be BINGO for books for all children and tweens.
Anythink and the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art have teamed up to bring people an art-making workshop each month. People are invited to ex-press themselves through a variety of art
media, with the emphasis on creativity and fun. This activity is appropriate for students ages 5-12. Space is limited; reg-istration required.
Another after school get together is scheduled 2:30 to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 27, for students in K-5 grades. Chil-dren and tweens will learn the technique of ink blowing to create a completely original piece of artwork.
For more information about the youth programs offered at the Brighton Any-think library branch, visit the website at anythinklibraries.org. The Anythink Brighton Branch is located at 327 E. Bridge St.

Fire district board member eyes county seatDomenico makes a run for newly created District 4 positionBy Tammy [email protected]
Ever since being elected to the North Washington Fire Protection District Board of Directors 20 years ago, Joseph Domenico has been interested in run-ning for a county position.
“I think I can make a difference,” said the Welby resident.
Domenico is vying for the District 4 seat for Adams County Board of Com-missioners. He is serving as the first Re-publican candidate for the newly created
board position. Voters approved in 2012 a ballot measure to increase the number of elected commissioners from three to five. Members on the board will be resi-dents in their districts but are to be elect-ed by the voters of the entire county.
Domenico said this in-crease would allow for more input and view-points.
“There’s more oppor-tunity to get things done, and you’ll have more minds on the issues,” he said.
Domenico said that he has learned to be a successful public of-ficial one has to listen to his constituents and have an inclusive.
“It’s not my county. It’s not their coun-ty. It’s our county,” he said.
Domenico was elected to the North Washington Fire board in 1994 and has served as it secretary, treasurer, and now vice president. He said being on the board has given him experience in man-aging a budget and overseeing a govern-ment entity.
If elected to the board of county com-missioners, he plans to stay on the fire board through its merger with Southwest Adams County Fire Rescue, becoming the Adams County Fire Protection Dis-trict.
Domenico said one of the first things he wants to do if he is elected to the board is work on repealing the stormwa-ter utility fee. This fee was implemented in January 2013 and is charged to prop-erty owners in unincorporated Adams County west of Shumaker Road.
The county maintains the fee is not a
tax, but a fee for service. Domenico dis-
putes this claim and says it is a tax.
“If it’s a tax, it should go to a vote of
the people,” he said.
Domenico is a lifelong Adams County
resident and is the operations manager
on his family farm, which offers whole
sale to Safeway, King Soopers and Whole
Foods. Previously, he had a 28-year ca-
reer with the King Sooper company, re-
tiring at 48 as a produce inspector.
After his retirement, he attended Lin-
coln College of Technology to education
himself on how to work on farm equip-
ment.
Domenico has a wife, Tamara, and two
adult children.

do other business.“My understanding of the code is that
basically anything is allowed in any zone as long as there is a conditional use per-mit,” he said.
Staff reported that the planning de-partment made that determination and no one from that department was pres-ent at the meeting.
District 1 Commissioner Eva Henry said she supports the new business, that it was needed in the county, but that the county had to follow rules and should not make exceptions.
“For a lot of years Adams County gov-ernment made a lot of exceptions in Ad-
ams County and people abused those exceptions,” she said. “I’m sorry, I know you’re not part of that but that is the way the history has been. So I have serious concerns about making exceptions to other people. My concern is the fact that if we go ahead and grant you the license that you won’t follow through the pro-cess with getting it rezoned or condition-al use. We have a lot of business owners that have actually done that.”
Board Chair Charles “Chaz” Tedesco,
District 2, said that he did not want to see
the hard work of either the applicant or
the county staff go to waste and made a
motion to continue the request.
The board voted unanimously for the
continuation of the request, with the di-
rection to staff that it work in an expedite
manner to get the zoning issues resolved.
council including the approval of Steve Puckett as a member of the liquor li-censing authority board, bids for traffic signal construction, approval for the in-
terior painting in the Recreation Center, approval of several lodging tax and mini-grants, amendments in water funds for expenses related to water wells, and the construction of drainage and flood con-trol improvements.
Council had the first reading of a sug-gested pilot program to assist Brighton families on a temporary basis with one-
time financial help with their utility bill. Fellow utility customers would be
asked to contribute to the fund, which might also receive general fund money from the city.
City council members recognized the Adams County Fair organizers present at the council meeting and congratulated the members on a “fantastic 110th coun-
ty fair.”
Councilwoman Lynn Baca said the
very first Adams County fair was held in
Brighton on the very spot where City Hall
and Carmichael Park stand today.
Each city council member received
commemorative 110th fair coin from the
Adams County Fair organization.
School tip line now under state controlNew laws include change for violence reporting systemBy Vic [email protected]
The reorganization of a school vio-lence hotline was among a handful of new safety laws that took effect last week.
The Safe2Tell Act moves an existing anonymous tip line from the nonprofit sector to a state-run program that is op-erated through the Department of Law.
The program was set to shut down due to a lack of funding before the Leg-islature unanimously passed a bill earlier this year that transfers its control to the state.
The hotline was set up after the 1999 Columbine High School shootings as a way for students to provide anonymous reports of potential campus threats.
The state claims that since its imple-mentation, the hotline has prevented some school attacks and suicides and has led to intervention in more than 2,000 bullying instances.
“Students are often the first to hear threats against a school, or to see bully-
ing or drug use, so they play a critical role in preventing these problems,” state Sen-ate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, a bill sponsor, said through an emailed statement. “Safe2Tell empowers students to break the silence in an anonymous, proactive way so that kids can focus on learning while at school.”
Also taking effect last week was a sep-arate public safety effort that imposes new penalties on businesses that sell de-signer drugs.
The law subjects vendors who sell syn-thetic marijuana, often called “spice,” to civil liability. Synthetic drugs have been known to be more dangerous than mari-
juana and have resulted in some deaths.“Despite their growing popularity,
synthetic drugs are incredibly danger-ous and this new law is a crucial step in taking action against these harmful substances,” state Rep. Lois Landgraf, R-Fountain, a bill sponsor, said through an emailed statement. “I’m comforted knowing this law is now in place to help keep synthetic drugs out of Colorado children’s hands.”
Also taking effect last week is a new public safety law that makes operating a vehicle chop shop a Class 4 felony. The law is meant to curb cases of automobile thefts in the state.

Gappa gets back to nature Natural treatments with traditional medical treatments at local medical o� ce By Lou Ellen Bromley [email protected]
Dr. Jeffery Gappa D.C., DABCI, AP-C, has a lot of letters after his name, but the letters representing years of training in the medical field in both western and natural ways of healing.
Gappa is a family care and primary care physician in Brighton with a holis-tic approach to health and healing. Hav-ing gotten his degree as a chiropractor at Palmer University in Davenport, Iowa, he felt he needed to find ways to help his patients more, so he also attended medi-cal school in Russia. After graduating he returned to Brighton to continue his medical practice.
While in Russia, Gappa learned to look at the whole person he was treating and not just the “test results” to com-pletely understand the needs of the pa-tient in finding a cure. Gappa feels there is a place for both western medicine and holistic medicine in his practice, but he is compelled to use holistic medicine first because it does not rely on a quick fix to cure symptoms, such as just pre-scribing pills, but works to eliminate the symptoms by treating the source of the problem. Gappa uses lifestyle changes,
changes in diet and exercise as part of the preventive care he offers.
“Over the years, with the changes in government policies the medical soci-ety has been forced to change, and this change has forced doctors to examine their way of thinking as to how to best treat patients.” Gappa said. “My goal is to be positive and hands-on in the health of my patients. To look at the whole per-son, not just the symptoms they are hav-ing to find the best treatment for them individually. The quality of care needed is in the “history” of the patient, I always take a good complete patient history.”
Gappa also takes the time to explain what he feels is the best treatments and why, he usually takes a full hour with each new patient, getting as much infor-mation as possible.
“Asking patients to make lifestyle changes can be very difficult because as Americans we are used to just taking a “pill” for everything,” said Gappa.
Although not new to Brighton — he has practiced medicine here for 20 years — Gappa has recently moved into the office on 606 South 4th St. and is in the process of buying the building to the south of his office to house a yoga and palliates exercise center. He said his of-fice is a “cash practice” but patient’s in-surance will usually cover costs.
To reach Gappa at Complete Care of Colorado, for an appointment or to learn more about the holistic, natural way to treat illness, call 303-659-0805.
School tip line now under state control juana and have resulted in some deaths.
“Despite their growing popularity, synthetic drugs are incredibly danger-ous and this new law is a crucial step in taking action against these harmful substances,” state Rep. Lois Landgraf, R-Fountain, a bill sponsor, said through an emailed statement. “I’m comforted knowing this law is now in place to help keep synthetic drugs out of Colorado children’s hands.”
Also taking effect last week is a new public safety law that makes operating a vehicle chop shop a Class 4 felony. The law is meant to curb cases of automobile thefts in the state.

OUR VIEW
Over Super Bowl heartbreak? The 2014 Denver Broncos season has offi cially arrived but after last season’s Super Bowl heartbreak Denver’s fans seem a little weary going into this season. So we asked several of our loyal readers if they were over the Broncos ugly 43-8 Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks or are they still suffering from Super Bowl heartbreak?
“In my mind it never even happened — I have blocked that out of my mind as a memory. All I am looking forward to is being a Super Bowl Champion this season.”
Chris Martinez, Lakewood
“I don’t really watch football but it doesn’t seem like people are as excited this season as they were last season.”Kim Nguyen, Arvada
“I don’t know if you ever get over a Super Bowl loss but I am very excited about this season. As long as we have Peyton Manning we are Super Bowl contenders.”Joe Williams, Denver

Make voter registration a priority Don’t come up three words shy in fam-
ily life is good tip to live by.In the civic arena of the early election
season, we say don’t be four words short.Be able to stand up and say, “I regis-
tered to vote.”Even though matters of hydraulic
fracking have gone the way of a task force instead of ballot questions, plenty of other heady issues and candidate choices will be in play Nov. 4.
The general election will be conducted with mail ballots expected to land in mailboxes by the second week of October. Those who voted in the primary are gener-ally confi dent of their registrations and simply await their ballots. But those not in the thrust of Republican and Democrat party primary activities may want to take a few seconds to double check their registra-tion status at respective county websites.
Not to cause worry, but it really only takes a moment to check a voter registra-
tion through links on county websites — and to newly register is an easy process as well.
Something good to know is that regis-tered voters remain registered in perpetu-ity by state law. Registrations are removed only when a mail ballot comes back as undeliverable for two election cycles. So a long as voters keep address information up to date and accurate, the ballots keep coming.
Those who register before the eighth day before the election at www.govo-tecolorado.com will automatically receive a mail ballot. After the eighth day, those wanting to register must visit one of the Voter Service and Polling Centers in their
respective counties. Applications received through voter registration drives must be received 22 days before the election. And ultimately, in Colorado citizens may register Election Day in-person at a county voter service and polling center.
And who can vote?The basics: A voter must be 18, a United
States citizen, have resided in Colorado for 22 days before the election and not serving certain types of criminal sentences.
So come November don’t be even two words shy.
Let’s all be wearing “I voted” stickers.

District 27J launches new program for dropouts Sta� Report
School District 27J will launch a new-est program, Bridge Academy, which is targeted toward 17- to 20-year-olds who have already dropped out of school or who are at high risk of dropping out.
Bridge Academy will open for the 2014-15 school year inside the Brighton Learning and Resource Center, 1830 E. Egbert St., Brighton.
Bridge will utilize a “blended learn-ing” model, with a web-based curricu-lum and on-site mentors. Students will work towards completing the required credits for a diploma at their desired pace during school hours, as well as be able to work online outside of school. Supports
will include emphasis on a successful transition to post-secondary goals, both through college and career.
Last year the district launched BOLT Academy, a blended learning school that combines the appeal of online learning with the stability of a classroom envi-ronment. BOLT is also housed inside the Brighton Learning and Resource Cen-ter and there will be opportunities for the programs to support each other and provide additional opportunities for stu-dents.
“Our goal is to give all of our students a path to succeeding in the classroom and receiving their diploma,” said 27J Super-intendent of Schools Chris Fiedler. “We also know that path has different twists
and turns for each student. When we are able to increase the options available for our students, then we give all of our stu-dents a better opportunity to have their path lead to receiving that diploma.”
27J is also proud to share that they will partner with Colorado Youth for a Change to reach out to students who have dropped out of school. CYC [youth-forachange.org] is a non-profit organiza-tion committed to lowering the state’s dropout rate.
Bridge is expected to serve 15 to 30 students in its first year. Students will complete an application process includ-ing an interview with the principal and/or bridge coordinator. In the event that there are more applicants than program
capacity, a tiered admission “priority” system has been created to admit those candidates most likely to be success-ful, including a provision to ensure that in-district applicants receive priority consideration over out-of-district appli-cants.
Bridge Academy is also expected to be a self-supporting program because its funding will come from students who had previously dropped out of school or are not currently enrolled.
For additional information, contact Kate Hamilton, Bridge Academy coor-dinator, [email protected] or 720-665-5474.

Recycling law to hike paint prices Republicans raise hue and cry about consumer cost By Vic Vela [email protected]
Paint prices will eventually go up be-cause of a new law aimed at promoting recycling.
The law, parts of which took effect last week, tacks on a fee for household paint purchases. The fee will go toward the creation of a paint recycling drop-off program.
State Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, who backed the legislation that led to the law, said she hopes the program will have a positive environmental impact.
“It is the highest volume product that is not recycled,” Newell said of used paint cans. “It either ends up in landfills with paint inside cans or it ends up sit-ting in people’s basements, or it ends up in the water stream.”
The drop-off centers will be located at home improvement and hardware stores, where cans can be recycled at no cost.
“Retailers themselves don’t have to do this,” Newell said, “but the majority will want to be a retail recycling site because it drives traffic to their stores.”
The process of creating the program began last week. After the new year, re-tailers will get together to discuss the full implementation of the program, Newell said.
The per-can fee amount is not de-tailed in the legislation’s fiscal analysis, but it is estimated that at least $93,000 in fees will be needed to be collected in the first year in order for the state to cover administrative costs.
The cost doesn’t sit well with Repub-licans, the overwhelming majority of whom voted against the bill earlier this year.
“Once again Governor ( John) Hick-enlooper and the Democrats have cre-ated yet another burdensome program that heaps more unnecessary fees onto consumers in Colorado,” House Minor-ity Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, said through an emailed statement. “Now that this law has gone into effect, Coloradans can thank the Democrats for the increased cost of paint.”

LIFEN O R T H M E T R OLIFEW E S T M E T R O
Evergreen duo’s tiny home gets big attention
Evergreen couple Kristen Moeller and David Cottrell and their two dogs were already living in a 1,200-square-foot tight space when their home burned to the ground, a casualty of the Lower North Fork Fire.
Everything was gone save the dogs and some wedding pictures Moeller snagged before evacuating.
As they rebuilt their lives after such a tremendous loss, they opted to rebuild their dwelling — this time a 500-square-foot tiny home, less than half the size of their former house.
Either by choice or by circumstance, there’s a growing number of homeown-ers joining the tiny house movement, as featured in the series “Tiny Home Na-tion”, on A&E’s sibling network FYI. TV hosts John Weisbarth and Zack Giffin travel across America to document min-iature houses and their full-size inhabit-ants.
The episode about the Evergreen cou-ple, “Rocky Mountain Mansion,” airs at 8 p.m. MDT on Wednesday, Aug. 13, on FYI.
According to the “Tiny House Na-tion” website, www.fyi.tv/shows/tiny-house-nation, “Renovation experts and hosts, Weisbarth and Giffin, travel across America to show off ingenious small spaces and the inventive people who live in them, as well as help new families design and construct their own mini-dream home in a space no larger than 500 square feet.
From a micro-apartment in New York City to a caboose car turned home in Montana to a micro-sized mobile home for road tripping — this is a series that celebrates the exploding movement of tiny homes.
From pricey to budget friendly, `Tiny House Nation’ is not a typical design show, but one that proves size doesn’t al-ways matter — it’s creativity that counts.”
Lowest prices for tiny homes hover around $20,000, depending on the con-struction and labor cost, while custom-ized homes with upgrades can run up-ward of $50,000.
Twelve’s number is upTwelve, the Ballpark neighborhood
restaurant that much-lauded chef-owner Jeff Osaka opened in November 2008, will serve its last supper on Aug. 23 in the 2233 Larimer location.
Osaka said he plans to reopen in a new space that allows more seating than the tiny eatery now accommodates.
“I opened Twelve on the same day that Barack Obama was elected president of the United States, and I’m closing Twelve on my 50th birthday, so I guess you could say that I’m a man who marks mile-stones,” said Osaka, whose own mark on the Denver dining scene has resulted in a swell of accolades, including a 2014 James Beard semifinalist nomination for Best Chef Southwest.
Osaka, who opened Twelve when the Ballpark area was still in its infancy, rose to culinary prominence with his season-
4H brings youthful successBy Michelle [email protected]
What’s more exciting than having seen over 3,465 exhibits and 772 exhibi-tors at this year’s Adams County Fair?
Over 520 kids involved in 4H. More than 25, 4H clubs showed projects in over 200 different areas.
The tabletop projects were judged Monday, July 28, before the Adams County Fair kicked off the following Wednesday.
Various categories ranging from cake decorating, heritage arts, archery, rock-etry and sewing were some of the proj-ects; along with each member’s record books were looked at during the judging process.
“Our numbers of kids in the program are a little down, but a lot of kids are typically pulled in thousands of differ-ent directions with everything they have to do these days,” Extension Agent for 4H Youth Julia Hurdelbrink said. “We’ve seen a rise of entries for our shooting sport. I think archery is bigger than oth-ers this year. Small animal numbers are still fairly high in numbers too.”
Sisters Kalani, Kassia and Katrera of Thornton have all been active in 4H for nine years.
This year Kassia made a crocheted turtle and a one-page scrapbook on her puppy, “Cupcake.” “4H has given me more self-confidence,” she said. “I can talk to people more now.”
She said this year her goal was to move forward and learn more stitches in crochet.
Since Katrera has been the secretary
of her 4H club, The Rising Sun. For the past three years, she decided
to concentrate her project on a secre-tary book. “It taught me to be a better organized person,” she said. “You have to write the minutes on the agenda and then type it out. The next meeting, you then have to read it to everyone.”
Not only is Matthew Pike in 4H, but he’s the District 3 president and the state treasurer which is known as the 4H senate.
The senate is a step above the coun-ty level and the group helps plan for the state events, like the state confer-ence and all the leadership conferences throughout the year.
“It’s helped me because as a group we were able to travel to New Mexico for our leadership retreat,” he said. “We put on our first workshop to get out all our jitters as a team. We’ll be ready for our leadership conferences this year. It’s given me a lot more opportunities to go through 4H and to be more involved. I take any changes I want and help make the conferences better each year.”
Pike has been a member of 4H for 10 years.
This year is his third year also as the president of his Kicking Country, 4H club.
At fair this year, he showed general wood working and livestock marketing and breeding sheep/market goat.
“It’s taught me how to make a lot of change, and to not just be a leader at your event,” Pike said. “Events run a lot smoother when you just take over.”
Previous years, Pike has received grand champions for his wood working,
photography and painting. He graduated high school this year,
and said he’ll either focus on computers like his dad, or on something to do with agriculture.
Showing livestock at the fair has been his favorite event.
“You get to see your animals grow through the process,” he said.
Pike said kids should definitely get involved in 4H. “There’s a lot of op-portunity for you to meet new friends, learn projects and learn new life skills,” he said. “There are also the leadership abilities, and of course scholarships are also available for senior members. If you’re shy, you’ll usually break through that right away.”
Scrapbooking was Kelsey Wenzel’s favorite fair entry this year. “You get to do your own thing and just have fun with it,” she said. “It took me about a month to compete, and I did it all on my friends. “
She said she’s always done pretty well with her projects.
She’s gotten many reserve grand champions on here projects previous years, but generally she’s placed around sixth at state.
She says that she actually has fun do-ing the record keeping part of project when it deals with animals.
As a member of the Good Luck 4H club the past four years, Andrew Cas-taneda said it’s all given him the oppor-tunity to do stuff he normally wouldn’t do at home.
“I wouldn’t normally just go home

and paint,” he said. “4H gives you cool opportunities do things that are fun to do.”
He entered projects in foods, oil paint-ing and cake decorating this fair.
“I selected my events, because I just wanted to experiment and see if I liked it,” he said.
He entered his third oil painting at fair this year.
Last year he won county and state fair with one of his paintings.
“I actually have a few people wanting to buy some of my oil paintings,” Cas-taneda said.
His favorite thing this year, were the judges, because he said they were nice.
“They looked at the techniques I had and looked to see that all the stuff was done in my record book,” he said. “I made a pizza cake, and I was required to use at least three tips. I chose a leaf, star and writing tip. It’s hard because you have to aim it, squeeze out the right amount of icing, and see that the icing doesn’t break or get air bubbles inside it either.”
“Honestly, where would I be without 4H,” Madison Gross said. “I can inter-view. I had a great interview for my job I have now. I speak in public well, because of the One Act Plays I’ve done at fair. I know how to sew because I was involved in sewing in 4H. I have all kinds of friends too. 4H was just GOOD.”
Gross has been active in the Good Luck 4H Club for 10 years.
This year she said she only focused in on two projects, one in oil painting and one in sheep.
“Two record books were good enough,” she said.
“I’ve done oil painting about eight
years,” she said. “It’s my favorite thing to do. In the past I’ve done One Act plays, but now I have a job and school.”
Hurdelbrink used to be a member of 4H herself too.
She said she continues to do what she does because of her experiences and the kids she encounters each year.
“I love to see what the kids do that’s why I do what I do, and continue doing it,” Hurdelbrink said. “Their projects are always spectacular, whether it’s visual arts or watching them shoot an arrow for the first time in archery, or how to make a cake. They just lighten up with all of it on their face — that all makes it worth it.”
All the tabletop projects received ei-ther a blue, red or white ribbon.
The blue ribbons signified the project met all its requirements.
Out of all the blue ribbon, then the projects were selected for champions and then depending on the project, if it’s a county project or state project it will go to state fair in August.
Hurdelbrink said record books are judged with every project.
“It shows their record keeping throughout the entire year,” she said. “Their expenses and what they learned about their project. It’s amazing when they get out of 4H how much they really learned from their record keeping.”
Youth who are between 5 and 7 years old before Dec. 31, 2014 may register to become a clover bud member in 4H.
If a child is 8 years of age, and has not yet reached their 19th birthday by Dec. 31, 2014, they may register to be a mem-ber of a traditional 4H club.

Yacht Club sets sailYacht Club, a community bar inspired
by the casual drinking and social cultures from around the world, will open Aug. 20 in the center area at the Source, 3350 Brighton Blvd., in the space formerly oc-cupied by the CapRock Farm Bar.
Owned by Mary Wright, the Yacht Club aims to be a gathering place for lo-cals, visitors and industry professionals.
A full service bar, the Yacht Club will build on the idea of social drinking.
“We want the space to have some-thing for everyone and also showcase how diverse the world of booze can be,” Wright said. “In the islands, you have Ti Punch, in Spain (there are) sherry or gin and tonics, as well as favorites here like juleps, cobblers, or a shot and a beer. At the Yacht Club we will showcase some of these ideas, as well as some of our own.”
‘Taste’ makes returnTake a bite (or 12) out of Douglas
County at the 12th annual Taste of Doug-las County, where local restaurateurs will show off fine fare 5-8 p.m. Aug. 21 at the Douglas County Events Center.
“Twelve years ago I realized that Doug-las County had a fine selection of restau-rants and decided to put on an event that would highlight many of those places to area residents,” said Mike Boyle, host of
the Restaurant Show on Newstalk KNUS 710 AM radio and Comcast Channel 8. “This will give people an inexpensive evening out while enjoying wonderful cuisine from many area restaurants and food service establishments.”
Restaurants and other dining estab-lishments will offer selections from ap-petizers to main courses to desserts. Tickets are $10 in advance or $20 at the door. Kids four years old and under are free. The admission ticket includes food from each of these various establish-ments and free parking.
Restaurants participating include Old Stone Church, Pegasus on the Square, Outback Steakhouse, Old Chicago, Rock-yard American Grill & Brewery, Crave Real Burgers, Fowl Line Sports Grill, Stumpy’s Pizza, and many more.
There will be beverages from Lost Cof-fee, Sugarland Sodas, Keva Juice smooth-ies and more.
Additional information is available at www.tasteofdouglascounty.com or by calling Boyle at 303-903-0017.

Stopping by Summerland Everclear’s Art Alexakis talks his ’90s rock tour By Crystal Anderson [email protected]
CCM had the opportunity to sit down with Art Alexakis, lead singer of the 1990s rock band, Everclear, to talk about the music business, touring and even a little bit of food.
You’ve been in the music industry for more than 20 years, in your opinion how has the industry changed over time and do you like where it’s headed?
A: Well it’s changed so much in the time that I’ve been involved in the music industry; I don’t really think it’s an indus-try anymore it’s a business.
A lot of the major labels are owned by huge multinational corporations that don’t really care about art or anything, or really making money in a big way, they don’t invest in to bands they don’t devel-op bands.
I felt a lot of bands including Everclear, Aerosmith — There’s thousands of bands that wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for being developed over a series of albums.
Making better albums that were dif-ferent, just honing to the point where they made a Joshua Tree or a Sparkle and Fade. I made two or three indie albums with different bands and one with Ever-clear before I made Sparkle and Fade or before I made Afterglow. It was develop-ment and that’s exciting — it’s the evolu-tion of an artist.
Do I like where it’s going? Yes and No. I like the do-it-yourself aspect of social media and the internet and being able to use that. I look forward to people devel-oping and making it more user and band and artist friendly as time goes on.
I don’t like where it’s going to the point of that no one throws money into it any-more. It’s just the way our society is, run by the one percent of the one percent.
Your music has impacted a lot of people, what song or album of yours has been the most inspiring to you?
A: You’re asking me to choose between my children, but I’d have to say “So Much for the Afterglow” or the one that came right after it.
Our new record is probably one of my favorite records we’ve made. It’s a rocker; it’s so much fun to play.
What inspires you to keep making music?
A: I don’t know, life, it’s what I do. I’m really not good at anything else, but I think I’m good at writing songs. I teach songwriting at small school in Los Ange-les.
What I teach is the creative passion part of it, how to pull that creative pas-sion within you, if you have it. A lot of people just don’t have it and I don’t think you can learn that.
I just love the business love what I do, and if I wasn’t doing this I’d be a manager or running a label or something.
I love the fact that I’m 52 and still playing in a rock band -- it’s awesome, why would you stop?
Do you miss the ‘90s?A: I had a good time in the ‘90s, but no.
I’m not really one of those people that, like reminisces. There’s a healthy dose of nostalgia, you know, I’ll hear a song an old Beatles song, that will take me back to an image of where I was at that time. A lot of my music will do that and music from the 90s will do that.
What was your inspiration for having formed the Summerland Tour?
A: Two things, really. I wanted to showcase all these bands that have huge hits in the 90s and were great bands but that were still bands, you know?
They were still playing, still making records. Not because they were getting played on the radio and making so much money, they do it because they had to — because it was what was inside of them and they couldn’t do anything else.
Secondly, I wanted to give a tour to the fans that would have a lot of hits, a lot of new songs by cool bands and a lot of value.
What’s your favorite thing about touring?
A: Sleeping in my bunk. Anyone will tell you, they look claustrophobic but it’s like a womb. I sleep better on tour than I do at home.
What makes your tour unique com-pared to other tours?
A: I think the criteria that I impose on it. A lot of the other tours with 70s, 80s, 90s bands (I call them ‘Mothball Bands’)
they don’t really play very often. They sit at home, wait for their royalty checks and come out in summertime and just play their hits.
All these bands, including us, are still bands that write songs and record them and still chase the carrot and still have the fire in our belly, and that’s different.
What’s next for you?A: I’m going to go get dinner.No, we’re got the new record com-
ing out, so I’ve got to put some finish-ing touches on the record; we’ve got 10-11 shows for the rest of the year, maybe more. I’m working on a book, working on a radio show, just staying busy.

Golfers playing to competeBrighton High School golfers learning to play under pressureBy Michelle [email protected]
With two successful summer camps under its belts, the Brighton High School boys’ golf team is ready to start its 2014 season.
“We’re still building a golf culture, of course; but I believe the summer camps we had helped these kids by building communication, a competi-tive environment and will now help qualify kids every week for those var-sity spots,” Coach Eli Haskell said. “There are 11 to 12 boys competing at those higher spots, because they all are that good and look the same. This makes us have good depth and we have committed kids for the program that will allow them to compete for the spots every week. They will play nine holes and the top scores will take the varsity positions, which are open each week.”
The team consists of 16 players, with Henry Kilbreath, Brice Pawlowski, Nolan Egan and Joe Diaz rounding out the seniors on the team.
“Our main goal is getting over the pressure part of playing in the tourna-ments,” he said. “I believe it’s because they haven’t played under that kind of pressure all the time. I’m going to continue to make it open that they are constantly competing. The bar is al-ways high. The athletes just need to be under pressure more often, and learn to compete that way. In turn, that’ll make for better golfers.
“It was built in the camps, that there’s a difference playing golf for fun and playing for competition.”
Haskell said the team’s main com-petition is with crosstown rival Prairie View as they won the East Metro Ath-letic Conference the past two years. “They just play better golf, and they’re a team reacting better under pressure,” he said. “We’re trying to change that.”
He said he wants the kids to play to the next level.
“We want them to compete and win the league,” Haskell said. “We’d like to try to get a team into the state tourna-ment, as no Brighton boy’s golfer has made it to the state tournament for a couple of years.”
Haskell said his younger kids on the team are more consistent, but his older players are bigger and stronger.
“We need to have the consistency in golf,” he said. “We’re excited with the youth in order to help our program in the years to come.”
Brighton took second place, 15 strokes behind Prairie View in their season opener at Coyote Creek Golf Course on Aug. 7. Northglenn was third and Westminster was fourth.
Brighton High School golf and bas-ketball programs are sponsoring the “Birdies for Bulldogs” Golf Tourna-ment Saturday, Sept. 6, at Coyote Creek Golf Course.
“This is a major fundraiser for our programs,” Haskell said. “We’re really excited about it.”

Softball, hearts made for competitionBrighton and Prairie View High School so�ball setting the bar highBy Michelle [email protected]
After a season of 23-3 overall last year and winning the East Metro Athletic Conference last season, the Brighton Bulldogs softball team is ready to try it all over again. This year they want the State 5A Championship title.
“Our goal each year is to win the state championship,” Coach Bob Gonzales said. “The other goals we set out for this year are to win the Dave Sanders’ tour-nament in September. Last year the team was runner-up in the regional game against Eaglecrest, which is their open-ing game this season. We were able to ad-vance to the state tournament, but this year we really want to win our regional games.
“We carry a strong non-league sched-ule. We play the best teams we can sched-ule.”
Gonzales said the ultimate goal the coach of the Brighton team is to help the girls to get placed into college.
“We help the girls who want to get to the next level, find the schools their in-terested in playing ball for,” he said.
Kayla Michel, Natalie Sanchez, Ayala
Robison, Brittany Abeyta, Nikki Abeyta, Jelena Todd and Madison Motes are all returning seniors to the team this year.
Gonzales said this senior class; of ath-letes have been some of the most com-petitive ladies he’s seen in his entire coaching career.
“These girls played in the final game, the final four, they’ve never lost a confer-ence game,” he said. “Right now they’re sitting at 59-13 and have an opportunity to win over 70 ball games in four years, which is quite an accomplishment when playing a 19 game schedule. They’ve been a very successful group.”
Junior, Melissa Rahrich will once again be on the mound this season.
“We’re also always looking forward to the special talent coming in at the fresh-men level,” Gonzales said.
Brighton will participate in the Dave Sander’s Memorial Tournament held at Columbine High School on Thursday, Sept. 6.
As the defending champions they’ll play a 4 p.m. game against Columbine at Columbine High School.
The tournament will continue Sept. 7-8 at the Aurora Sports Park at 18601 Sports Park Drive. Brighton will play at 11 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7.
Brighton’s season opener is at Eaglec-rest on Wednesday, Aug. 27, at 4:30 p.m. and its first home game will be against Thornton on Sept. 7 at 4:30 p.m.
Prairie View to continue winning waysWith Prairie View’s 13-8 record last
year, it’s their main goal to qualify for the post season this year and to get deeper into the playoffs.
“We’re hoping to continue to grow and establish a true program with consisten-cy and the reputation of always playing hard,” coach Mark Gonzales said.
Seniors Taylor Thoms, a center fielder should lead the T-Hawks, and Gonzales said she’ll be an offensive threat.
Also keeping stability on the team is Sirena Mayes in the infield.
“We look forward to playing all of our competition and solidifying our own worth to establish a fierce but respectful identity,” he said. “We are very impressed at the amount of freshmen girls who are looking into the softball program, and feel it will help the success of our pro-gram.”
Both Brighton and Prairie View are having fundraisers to help their softball programs.
Brighton will sell a coupon book for $25, which is good for various merchants around the Brighton area.
The booklet emphasizes dollar amount discounts.
Prairie View will also sell discount cards and at the end of September will have a trip to Black Hawk.
Prairie View will open their season at Fruita on Friday, Aug. 29, at 5:30 p.m. Its first home game will be Tuesday, Sept. 9, against Northglenn at 4 p.m.

Prairie View Cross Country, running strongNew season sets runners’ sites on new goalsBy Michelle [email protected]
The T-hawks have many returning runners this year on their cross-country team.
Many of those returning athletes will be on the varsity team, but there are still a few spots open for some athletes to move up.
“We’ll have a good share of seniors this year, which is different than years past,” Coach Nathan Shaver said.

Prairie View Cross Country, running strong New season sets runners’ sites on new goals By Michelle Boyer [email protected]
The T-hawks have many returning runners this year on their cross-country team.
Many of those returning athletes will be on the varsity team, but there are still a few spots open for some athletes to move up.
“We’ll have a good share of seniors this year, which is different than years past,” Coach Nathan Shaver said.
Caleb Strand, Chandler Johnson, Key-nan Davis, Molli Nava, Izzy Pawlak, Bri-ana Sanchez and Shay Wilkenson are all the returning seniors.
This is Shaver’s sixth year coaching the team.
“This team is like a second family,” he said. “I love the kids and the challenges I coach them through. We aren’t just run-ning. There are life lessons to be learned out there.”
Shaver said last year the focus of the team was on moving up in the league.
“We’ve achieved that,” he said. “I was happy with what we did and I feel that we’re ready for a new goal. Our new goal is to score 200 points or less at our re-gional tournament. This won’t get us into state, but it will put us closer. The goal for the next year will be to score 150 points
or better. That should put us in the hunt for a spot. So, we’re basically working a two year goal instead of one.”
Prairie View is mixing it up with their schedule a bit this year.
Shaver said there are a few meets the athletes look forward to more than oth-ers.
“We like going to smaller meets with competitive teams as opposed to enor-mous meets with tons of teams,” he said. “My athletes like the one-on-one chal-lenges of smaller, close-knit meets with good competition. Their favorite meet is down in Fountain-Fort Carson, because it’s smaller, the teams are smaller, but they’re all very competitive. It makes good racing. We also stop for pizza after, so that probably plays a part too.”
Shaver said there are some strong re-
turning runners this season.“Our girls’ team took a huge leap last
year, and I’m very excited about their season,” he said. “The guys will have a few pieces of the puzzle they need to find. The guys tend to pack run more than the girls. Our goals will be to move that pack up. They also moved up last year, and should continue to do so. Our athletes had a good summer. They ran together a lot and put in some hard work. I think it’s going to show up big time.”
PVHS Cross Country will also sell val-ue cards this year.
“We need to raise money to pay for the transportation to meets that are over 40 miles. We have two of those meets this year, and hopefully will raise enough money in order to get to them,” he said.

T-Hawks welcome new volleyball coach Shoemaker comes to Prairie View with not only girls’ volleyball experience, but also boys’ volleyball By Michelle Boyer [email protected]
One may always think about vol-leyball as a “girls’” sport. Well, not Amy Shoemaker, the new volleyball coach at Prairie View High School this year.
She’s been coaching for nine years overall, with her career as a coach start-ing back in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as a high school level and club level coach to boys’ volleyball.
“I loved coaching boys’ volleyball, and have brought a lot of their type of game into the girls’ game,” she said.
She started coaching girls at the club level, and then transitioned to coaching girls full time when she moved to Colo-rado four years ago.
Shoemaker took a teaching and coach-ing position at Fort Lupton High School, and she said she’s very proud of what the girls there accomplished under her the
past three years.“They did a tremendous job,” she said.When she attended Great Latrobe Se-
nior High School, she was a three-sport athlete; playing volleyball, basketball and softball. As a volleyball player, she played middle hitter.
She was being recruited, and decided on a Division II at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). She played her en-tire four years. During the season she played middle and during the off season would play setter or right side along with playing middle. “I also played all the way around,” she said.
Shoemaker said she likes the flow of the girls’ games.
“In the boys’ game it’s more of a kill and block game, whereas in girls it’s more strategy and a rally type play,” she said. “But when a girl gets a grandiose kill there’s also nothing like that, the girls’ game is always evolving.”
Shoemaker teaches health and physi-cal education at PVHS. This will be her first year in the district, but her fifth teaching overall. She was a certified ath-letic trainer for 12 years before she went into teaching.
She likes to go hiking, to sporting events and also enjoys working out her-self.
