First Arvada beer fest successfully helps service clubs Arvada On Tap draws crowds, some critiques By Crystal Anderson

canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com

rvada’s first beer and barbecue festival — which raised thousands of dollars for many of its service clubs — flowed into the city with success and room for fermentation. “It’s a cool event with a great atmosphere, but they just need to figure out their tweaks,” said Leslie Alberts, Arvada resident and a patron at Arvada On Tap, held July 25 at Ralston Park. About 6,000 people flocked to the park at 11200 Ralston Road for the festival, sampling from more than 20 craft breweries and enjoying savory barbecue. With the scent of smoked meat floating in the hot summer air, and lines streaming from each brewery tent, co-founder Gretchen Sherlock described this first year as an overwhelming success. “It’s absolutely exceeded our expectations,” Sherlock said. “There’re lines at every ticket booth and there have been since we opened — we got mobbed from the east and the west.” From milk stouts to Scharzweiss’, India Pale Lagers and Cream Ales, beer lovers had their choice of spoils. Along with beer tents, patrons perused artisan vendors, ate craft barbecue and listened to live music. Resident Chris Phillips enjoyed the event, but said she’d like to see more of a festival atmosphere. “It was close, I live in Arvada, and there was beer and barbecue,” she said. “Overall, it’s a cool event — Oh, yeah, I’d come back as long as they change their pricing and add more things for kids.” The event hosted more than 50 home brewers, 26 barbecue teams, one New Mexico and 19 Colorado breweries. To try the beers, patrons paid a $5 donation and $2 for a three-ounce sampler, with a full beer costing $6. Money raised from the event supports Arvada’s Rotary clubs, the Jefferson Kiwanis and Arvada Vitality Alliance. A final amount was not yet available by press time Monday. “There’s enough breweries here we can make a festival and make this fun,” said Chris Hill, brewer at Arvada’s Odyssey Beerwerks. “You can always learn a lot and, hopefully, we — being the brewers — will give constructive criticism and it’ll be even better next year.” For breweries like Upslope Brewery, the festival was a great way to enter Arvada’s emerging market. But the cost, said representative Kyle Krebsbach, was a little pricey. Beer continues on Page 9

With 20 breweries present, beer lovers had their choice of delectable pours. Here, volunteers pour sample, 3-ounce glasses of Kokopelli Beer Company’s Elk Brown Ale.

Jeffco school board recall petitions ready to go County clerk must first validate the more than 25,000 signatures By Crystal Anderson

canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com The organization behind the recall effort of the Jeffco School Board’s three majority members said it had collected more than 30,000 signatures for each of the three petitions — twice the required 15,000 valid voter signatures needed to place them on the November ballot. But the signatures must first be validated by the Jefferson County Clerk of Court. The recall group said it planned to turn in the petitions to the clerk’s office July 28. The clerk then has 15 business days to review and validate the signatures, with a 15-calendar day protest term following. The petitions may then be placed on the November ballot. At that time, anyone wishing to run for the seats of board President Ken Witt, John Newkirk and Julie Williams must seek 50 signatures to also be placed on the ballot. In emails to Colorado Community Media, Newkirk and Witt said priorities have been to put decision-making in the hands of parents and principals, recognize effective educators while improving accountability, ensure equitable funding for all students, improve fiscal management, and more, all with the goal of improving academic achievement. “Such priorities ... form the basis of my decisions while serving on the board,” Newkirk said. “The union-supported recall effort gives voters the opportunity to agree or disagree with these priorities. If the community prefers the old approach, I will accept their decision.” Said Witt: “Jeffco students deserve better than the old status quo —they deserve a great education.” Williams could not be reached for comment by press time Monday. Jeffco United for Action surpassed its intended signature goal of 25,000 per petition at a protest-recall petition signing event on July 22 along a 19-mile stretch of Wadsworth Boulevard. At each major intersection, groups varying in numbers from two to 20 held placards that urged community members to sign petitions. “We’ve had just over 1,000 parents carrying petitions for two weeks,” Lynea Hansen, media contact for Jeffco United for Action, said while counting signatures July 25. “I think we’ve seen an overwhelming voice from the community asking for this recall to be on the November ballot.” Parents and teachers are upset about the school board majority’s actions regarding the hiring of Superintendent Dan McMinimee, board attorney Brad Miller and what they say is an overwhelming increase in teacher turnover Petitions continues on Page 9

FACES AMONG US

HELLO

... My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

MAUREEN WORLEY

Creative rockabilly-chic Arvada native (almost) About me

Arvada is home to me. I’m 31 and have lived in Arvada basically my whole life. I was born in Grand Junction but moved to Arvada when I was 1 — it’s my home, it’s what I’m used to, it’s what I know. I’m the youngest of three kids, and I enjoy doing archery with my dad. I live right next to Majestic View Nature Center and love it. I know everyone around here and it’s cool to see how it changes.

What I’m working on

I work with the city of Arvada Parks Department and enjoy it. I spend time maintaining the flowers, signs and sidewalks as well as helping out with the events in Olde Town. I have an entrepreneurial spirit, so someday I really want one of my million-dollar ideas to go through — I have so many. Currently, I think it would be really neat to have convertible clothing that changes as you change, or have something that would make your bed for you, stuffing the corners and such.

My passions

Outside of work, I’m creative. Anything I can make, paint, repurpose or refurbish I love. I’m just crafty. My favorite things I’ve made would have to be the embroidered blanket I gave to my nephew when he was born and my coffee table — I have a pretty awesome Marilyn Monroe coffee table. It took me two years to put together but it was worth it. I found

People will have an opportunity to see Clydesdale horses during the An Evening of Horses event, which takes place 7-8:30 p.m. Aug. 7. Pictured are Clydesdales from Kodiak Clydesdale Ranch at the 2014 Jefferson County Fair. Courtesy photo

Living life For me, I strive to live my life thicker than skin deep. I dislike vanity and fickleness and seek to be open and mindful of those around me. I’m funny, weird and never have a dull moment around me, and I like that. I’m a little bit Chevy and a lot of rockand-roll chic. Written by Crystal Anderson.

Annual festivities takes place Aug. 7-9 By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com

From bucking broncs to homemade chili, a portable World War II exhibit to bounce houses, this year’s county fair has something for everyone. The Jefferson County Fair takes place Aug. 7-9 at Jefferson County Fairgrounds, 15200 W. 6th Ave., in Golden. The fair is a great way for people to see what Jefferson County has to offer, said Sherie Wren, president of the Jefferson County Fair Advisory Committee. Cost to enter the fairgrounds is a onetime parking fee of $5 per vehicle, which is valid for any number of people and can be used for re-entry all weekend. Attractions include food and beer vendors, kids’ fun zone offering unlimited play for $5, free petting zoo, 4-H livestock, a portable World War II exhibit, arts-and-crafts

vendors, pie-eating contests, about 10 live music performances, educational exhibits, a laser shooting gallery and more. Gates open at 5 p.m. Aug. 7 with the main event being the fourth annual An Evening of Horses, a ticketed horse-variety show that costs $5 per person and happens from 7-8:30 p.m. The event showcases all disciplines of horses, including draft horses, ponies, mustangs and a Westernaires performance. Live music and dancing starts at 8:30 p.m. and continues until 10 p.m. when gates close. From 8 a.m. to noon Aug. 8, a rodeo slack event happens, which is open for public viewing.

Public tastings for the chili cook-off and beer fest 1-4:30 p.m. About 35 different homemade chilis will be available. Advanced tickets, per person, cost $15 for unlimited chili tastings and $20 for unlimited chili and craft beer tastings. Tickets are an additional $5 if purchased at the gate. The fair’s highlight is the Colorado Pro Rodeo Association rodeo event. “You get the experience of going to The Greeley Stampede or Cheyenne Frontier Days right in your backyard,” said rodeo director Luke Hodge. The rodeo takes place Aug. 8 from 7-9 p.m., but arrive early to see mutton bustin’ at 6:30 p.m. Ticket prices for the rodeo are

$12 online and $15 at the gate. Children 5 and under are free. Rodeo events include bull riding, bareback and saddle bronc riding, five roping events and barrel racing. The Jeffco rodeo is one of the last ones of the year on the rodeo circuit, Hodge said, so how cowgirls and cowboys place can help determine whether they compete at state finals in Grand Junction in September. “Come out and watch them and cheer them on,” Hodge said. “And when you hear a local one from around town announced, give them an extra cheer.” Also during the rodeo, the 2016 royalty will be crowned. “The royalty is the official ambassadors of the Jefferson County fair,” said royalty director Rachel Folger. “They are royalty for one year (and) travel the state and neighboring states promoting the county.”

The royalty gives the young ladies an opportunity to learn important life skills, Folger said, as it is a full-time position, but all volunteer — they have to raise their own money for their travel expenses. Three young ladies will get the title for 2016 — a queen, who is 17-25 years old; a princess, who is 14-16 years old; and a junior princess, who is 10-13 years old. The 2015 royalty is Barbara Nolan, queen; Brittany Garcia, princess; and Shannon Stewart, junior princess. The 2015 royalty will be at most of the events throughout the fair’s duration, Folger said, and encourages people go up to them and say hi. “They are beautiful young ladies, inside and out — and are also excellent horsewomen,” she said. “The girls are really educated and fun with great personalities. They have a lot to share with the community.”

The after-rodeo dance with live music goes from 9-10:30 p.m., and gates close for the evening at 11. Things kick off early on the 9th. Cowboy church begins at 7 a.m., and a pancake breakfast served by the Pleasant View Lions Club from 7:30-10 a.m. The Colorado Regulators, a cowboy mounted shooting club, will be performing and competing 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. A 4-H pig roast happens at 11 a.m., and the 4-H live stock sale begins at 1 p.m. The county fair concludes Sunday at 5 p.m. The fair is a great value and a lot of fun, Wren said. “Come and enjoy the outdoors and the fair,” she said. “It’s entertainment for the whole family.”

Arvada bakery is sweet retreat Kitchen crew works to create pastry perfection By Crystal Anderson

Canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com As church bells chimed, marking the morning hour, the fresh, warm scent of baking breads, cookies and pastries filled the air outside of Olde Town’s 52-year-old German bakery, Rheinlander’s. Today was baking day — turnovers, strudels, bread, cakes. And baker and General Manager Hannah Jackson began to make the day’s turnovers. Spreading out a freshly made batch of puff pastry — spanning five feet — along the bakery’s wooden countertops, Jackson steadily rollled out the dough. Ensuring it was even, she sliced the dough in four long rows with a dough cutter. “My goal is to make five-and-a-quarter inches per square, per row,” she said, while squaring off to cut the dough into columns, creating squares. “These will be for our strawberry, raspberry and blueberry cream cheese turnovers — I’ll probably make a few of each.” Across her workspace, owner and lead baker Ed Dimmer struck up a conversation with Jackson and her colleagues about birthday celebrations, experiences at local festivals, European travels and microbreweries while his wife, Maro, photographed employees in the bakery to share on Facebook. “Look up and smile!” she said. They laughed as they shared experiences — content employees, at ease and happy as if they were family. “You’re doing really well today,” Dimmer said to another employee preparing dipping chocolate. Raspberry. Strawberry. Cherry. Flavors abounded as Jackson pulled out three gallon-sized containers of filling from a refrigerator. Focused and quiet, intent on making each pastry the best to date, she spooned filling onto each

No new information had been released as of July 27 in the ongoing investigation of an attempted homicide. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a man shot in the 800 block of Kilmer Street in Golden at about 2 a.m. July 20. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots, a car speeding up and people screaming, but did not witness anything. A male victim, whose name is not being released was transported to a local hospital, was in critical condition, according to a July 20 media release. An update of his condition was unavailable. Information on the suspect and motive for the shooting remains unclear, according to latest information from the sheriff’s office’s spokesman, Mark Techmeyer, on July 27.

Slash Collection in mountain communities

Rheinlander’s General Manager Hannah Jackson stuffs turnovers with homemade cherry filling. Photo by Crystal Anderson square, one by one. She folded the dough over the filling, creating little triangles and rectangles, then pinched the sides for a wavy look on each dessert. Almost done, she cut into each to see the flavor, and lightly sprinkled sugar on top. Ready to bake, Jackson slid 56 freshly made turnovers into the oven. “Then,” she announced, “they’re ready to sell.”

Jefferson County’s 2015 Slash Collection Program will be in Conifer from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 1 and 2 at Conifer High School, 10441 County Road 73. On Aug. 8 and 9, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., it will be at Evergreen Middle School, 2059 S. Hiwan Dr., and at Parmalee Elementary School, 4460 Parmalee Gulch Road, in Indian Hills. Slash is considered tree debris, such as limbs and pine needles. Pine needles and bark must be bagged, as loose loads will not be accepted. Tree limbs should be less than 8 feet in length and 6 inches in diameter. Items that will not be accepted are commercial refuse, construction materials, household trash, tree stumps, metal, rocks and grass clippings. All processed material will be hauled to compost yards for further re-use of the material. One load is considered a full truck bed to the height of the truck cab, or a trailer up to 8 feet by 4 feet. Larger loads will be charged as more than one load. Cost is $20 per load and credit cards are the only method of payment accepted. The program is offered to Jefferson County residents through Oct. 4 and has 26 collection dates at different locations throughout the county. To find out which dates the slash program will be at each location, visit www.jeffco.us/slash.

Man to receive 10 to 50 years in prison for vehicular homicide

An Arvada man faces a mandatory prison sentence of 10 to 50 years after pleading guilty July 23 to vehicular homicide in the Jefferson County courts. Charges against David Kenneth Bunn, 55, stem from a Sept. 26 incident in which a vehicular collision occurred in the 7500 block of Wadsworth Boulevard. The accident seriously injured the 18-year-old female driver and killed the passenger, Lyneah Dike, 17, of Westminster. Bunn was texting while operating the vehicle and was driving with a blood-alcohol content level twice the legal limit. Bunn will be sentenced at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 3.

Kids need meals and community support Food bank marks program’s anniversary By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com For 10 years, the Arvada Community Bank has made sure children don’t go hungry on the weekends by sending them home from school on Fridays with bags filled with nutritious foods. And to celebrate the program’s decade mark, the food bank is asking for one gift: community support. “We’re hoping that it’s going to give people who may not know about the program or have had the opportunity to participate financially in the past a vehicle to do that,” said Sandy Martin, the food bank’s executive director. Funded primarily through donations, the $160,000 Feeding the Future Backpack

BACKPACK-A-ROO KICKOFF EVENT WHEN: Tuesday, Aug. 4 WHERE: Arvada Community Food Bank, 8555 W. 57th Ave. TIME: Beginning at 10 a.m. COST: Free program is growing, expanding to two Head Start programs this year with the hopes of adding more schools, based on their ability to provide for students. Children go home each Friday throughout the school year with enough food for the weekend. To do that, the food bank started a sponsorship program, the Backpack-a-Roo Club, where community members and businesses can support children through monthly or annual contributions. With donations of $10 per day or $120 per month, the food bank can purchase the food to feed these children without having to borrow money

HOW YOU CAN HELP WHAT: Monthly or annual sponsorship of a child in the backpack program COST: $10 per month or $120 per year for individuals *Corporate sponsorships $1,000 - basic $5,000 - adopt a classroom $10,000 - adopt a school *Other contributions are accepted

from other food bank programs, such as the pantry. “(It’s) getting the word out about the backpack program and asking people not just to donate, but become a supporting member of the program,” said Randy Weinert, the food bank’s community development director. “It’s a way to drive awareness and to hopefully get more support and leadership from our community members to help the program sustain itself and grow to support a larger group of kids.”

WHAT’S INSIDE EACH BAG? • Two entrees • Two or three snacks • One fruit • One vegetable • One extra item

Started in 2005 at Foster Elementary School by former food bank director Cathy Underhill and a few Arvada teachers, the program serves more than 1,700 students at 17 Arvada and Wheat Ridge locations every week during the school year. Over the past 10 years, the program has helped to ensure these elementary school students are fed — helping them grow, be healthy and learn. “We know that the need is out there for more …,” Weinert said. “Early education, being on reading level and being ready for school — having a healthy diet on the weekends seems to be a big part of that.”

A GLOBALLY GOOD BOAT RIDE

The Global Goods and Coffee House staffers rowed their way to victory during the 2015 Dragon Boat Races July 18, but for them and those they represent, this boat ride is far from over. “We participated in the Dragon Boat Races to raise money for project work in Burma. Right now, certain minorities are being targeted and killed in Burma. Surrounding countries are denying them entrance, so the only way to escape is to leave on fishing boats — which are often overcrowded and not seaworthy,” said Global Goods spokeswoman Sarah Sale. “We were so excited (we almost tipped the boat over) when we won first place in the semi-final race. It felt great to place first in the final race as well and win our division. Definitely the result of lots of teamwork and enthusiasm.” The money raised at the event will help Burmese refugees have food, medical supplies and safe refuge. Courtesy photo

Jeffco commissioners may allow pot testing Jefferson County commissioners gave direction to staff to start drafting permanent ordinances governing marijuana policy for unincorporated parts of the county. The July 21 direction follows a series of meetings in which staff informed the commissioners on regulations concerning all aspects of marijuana, including retail, manufacturing, testing and distribution. Amendment 64 of the Colorado Constitution authorizes recreational use of marijuana, including the operation facilities for cultivation, manufacturing, testing and retail sales. However, the amendment allows counties to regulate the industry, including banning any of the four operations. The county’s moratorium, which prohibits all commercial marijuana operations in unincorporated Jeffco, ends Jan. 1, 2016. No final decision was made at the July 21

meeting, as ordinances governing marijuana policy will need to go to public hearing. The purpose of the meeting was to provide direction to staff as they write the draft zoning ordinances. Directions commissioners provided for unincorporated areas of Jefferson County are as follows: Retail — Do not permit. All three commissioners were in agreeance. Testing — All three commissioners are considering permitting, but with additional restrictions concerning odor. If allowed, the temporary moratorium will be lifted Jan. 16. Cultivation — Do not permit. All three commissioners were in agreeance. Manufacturing — Do not permit. All three commissioners were in agreeance. Public notice of the new marijuana policies is expected to begin on Sept. 23, with first reading on Oct. 27.

Golden reader logs 10 millionth minute in challenge Jeffco readers meet and beat summer reading goals By Christy Steadman

Shawn Tateyama of Golden reached the milestone on July 14. Tateyama entered the contest with her two children, Preston and Peyton, and it became friendly challenge among the three of them. Preston is in fourth grade and Peyton is in second grade at Kyffin Elementary. As a teacher, Tateyama promotes reading and thought it would

be fun to do as a family. For logging in the 10 millionth minute, the family won a prize of four Firehouse Subs. The Tateyama family is three of nearly 28,000 Jefferson County library patrons who have been reading and logging their minutes since May 29. Originally, the set goal was 1,000,001 minutes. However, that goal was met eight days into the challenge and the libraries upped the goal to 10 million. The challenge is not over yet. People can still sign up at any of the Jefferson County libraries or at www.jeffcolibrary.org to earn a chance at weekly prizes. The summer reading challenge ends with a “It’s a Wrap!” party at the Jeffco Fairgrounds, Aug. 23, from noon to 4 p.m.

It’s time for the ARVADA PRESS

Who will teach kids not to bully? Hey, guess what? School is almost here. By the time you read this, teachers will be a scant nine days away from returning to work, and the children are just seven days after that. All those things you hoped to accomplish this summer? Yeah, better get busy. One element almost certain to be a part of the new school year is training/seminars/ assemblies about bullying — recognizing it, preventing it and ending it. The problem is: I’m wondering just who, among us adults, will have enough credibility to teach children such a topic. We have become a rather bullying society. Whoever has the loudest bullhorn, or who can create the biggest ruckus, or who can buy the best lawyers, seems to get his way. And, worst of all, we seem to have no hesitation about imposing our victories on the people around us. I was thinking about this the other day in relation to some pretty startling polling data. Regarding the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling that states must grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples, the public holds some interesting beliefs. By a slim margin, the Associated Press found the public generally supports same-sex marriage. However, by a wide margin (20 points), the public thinks wedding-related businesses should be allowed to refuse to serve a gay marriage for religious reasons. I think the poll tells us two things: One, the public generally doesn’t care what you do with your personal life. Two, once you start forcing people to serve you against their

will, the public won’t support you. This comes after cases in Lakewood and Oregon in which bakers were ordered to bake cakes for same-sex weddings against their wills — the one in Oregon also came with a $135,000 fine. See, the LGBT comMichael Alcorn munity seems to have the loudest bullhorns HITTING and the best lawyers, HOME so it’s not enough they won the right to be married — they also want to force you to be a part of it. The public is not so keen on the second part. To be fair, the ruling in Obergefell was inevitable because of an earlier court case, Lawrence v. Texas. And Lawrence wouldn’t have happened if not for the arbitrary decision to enforce an outdated statute imposed by a bullying majority of Christians in a bygone era. This knife cuts both ways. I worry about this, too, in the context of what’s going on in Jefferson County right now, with the effort to recall the majority of the school board. The forces of the status quo have the inclination to create the biggest ruckus, and they’re using it. In fact, if you think back to last year, between a few well-orchestrated spectacles at school board meetings, a couple teacher sick-outs and slickly

organized student walk-outs, the tactics have been right out of the bully’s handbook. Which, of course, is not to give the board a pass on some of its heavy-handed actions. But, then, when the union president obliquely threatens a strike this fall, you can see where this is headed — more chaos, more disruptions to your kids’ education, and the hope that you’ll be so tired of it all in November you’ll just go along. A video also making the rounds purports to show the board majority “bullying” a student in a meeting. I watched it — maybe it does. It also shows students who signed up to speak under false circumstances and a raucous crowd trying to force the board to sit quietly and be insulted. Personally, I think it was a missed opportunity for the board majority to engage a critical public. But, regardless, it definitely shows what happens when a bully with a gavel and a bully with a mob run into each other. Look, if you do your research and decide the board majority should go, then sign the petition. But don’t do it because the people with the loudest bullhorn are shouting at the top of their lungs for you to do it. Do your own research. And, hopefully, in a few weeks, there will still be a few credible adults left to talk to our students about the dangers of bullying.

What I will remember about the Aurora theater shootings Guilty. Guilty on all counts. 165 times guilty. For the better part of an hour on July 16, I listened to Judge Carlos Samour read the names of the 12 people killed in the Aurora theater shootings, and the names of the 70 other people who were injured. As I heard these names, I could also picture some of their faces, faces I’ve seen in news reports the past three years, faces full of life and love and promise. I want to remember these faces. I want to pay tribute to those who lost their lives and to those whose lives have been forever altered. There’s another face, though, another name, that I won’t be able to forget —James Eagan Holmes. It’s taken more than a week for me to write about him, and as much as I won’t want to, I will remember the face of James Holmes in all its iterations – wild-eyed with dyed hair after the shootings, bearded and intense in media photos in the long months before the trial, and expressionless in the courtroom. But dammit, I don’t want to remember James Holmes. I don’t want his name and his face to be what I remember on every anniver-

sary of July 20, 2012. I don’t want his name and his face to be what I connect to the names and faces of his victims. And yet, in all likelihood, I will, which is in itself both tragic and ironic. The tragic part needs no explanation. The ironic part is that this kind of lasting Andrea Doray memory is part of what Holmes has professed ALCHEMY that he wanted. And I don’t want to give him that satisfaction. The radio station I listened to on that Thursday afternoon, to honor the victims, chose to broadcast the verdicts live from the courtroom, believing each name should be heard. And, of course, there are scores of other people who were in the theater that night and in the theater next door, people who were not physically injured and on whose behalf there were no charges filed, but who also bear the scars of the shooter’s intent. To say

that Holmes is guilty, guilty on all counts, 165 times guilty, is to name just a fraction of the devastation he has caused. So when I think of July 20, I will also remember that the jurors served for almost four months. I will remember that Samour presided with dignity and fairness and compassion. I will remember that some relatives of the victims established a “No Notoriety” campaign to plead for limited use of the shooter’s name and photos in media reports about such crimes for this and other mass killings. I will remember that there are those living today with unthinkable mental and physical injuries. And I will remember Jonathan Blunk, 26; Alexander J. Boik, 18; Jesse Childress, 29; Gordon Cowden, 51; Jessica Ghawi, 24; John Larimer, 27; Matt McQuinn, 27; Micayla Medek, 23; Veronica Moser-Sullivan, 6; Alex Sullivan, 27; Alexander C. Teves, 24; and, Rebecca Wingo, 31. I will join the “No Notoriety” campaign. Andrea Doray is a writer who is sickened by what happened last week in a theater in Lafayette, La., and pleads for No Notoriety. Contact her at a.doray@andreadoray.com.

Heat poses avoidable risks to health The peak of summer is here. The hottest summer temperatures for the Denver and northeast Colorado area tend to occur in the second half of July, according to 30year averages calculated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In my 25 years as an emergency medicine physician, I’ve seen the catastrophic effect heat can have on health, and many of the people we see while providing event support in the National Disaster Medical System need treatment for heat-related illnesses. On average, heat-related illnesses cause more than 600 deaths every year, and from 2001 to 2010 more than 28,000 people were hospitalized for heat-related illnesses. You can help keep yourself, your family and others around you out of the emergency department by watching for signs of heat stress. People suffering from heat-related illnesses may experience heavy sweating; weakness; cold, pale, and clammy skin; fast, weak pulse; and nausea or vomiting. Early signs include muscle cramps, heat rash and fainting or nearfainting spells. If you believe someone is suffering from a heat-related illness, they need to move to a cooler location and lie

down; apply cool, wet cloths to the body; and sip non-alcoholic GUEST fluids. They should COLUMN remain in the cool location until recovered. Signs that someone might be suffering from the most severe heat-related illness, heatstroke, include a body temperature above 103 degrees Fahrenheit; hot, red, dry or moist skin; rapid and strong pulse; and “altered mental status” that can range from confusion and agitation to possible unconsciousness. If you see someone exhibiting these signs, call 911 immediately; help the person move to a cooler environment; reduce the person’s body temperature with cool cloths soaked in ice water especially to head, neck, armpits and upper legs near the groin area where combined 70 percent of body heat can be lost, or even a cool bath if you can stay with them to ensure they do not drown; and do not give them fluids. Children are especially vulnerable to heat illnesses, and can’t always tell us what is wrong. When it’s hot outside, consider any change in a child’s behavior as heat stress. Additionally, infants and

children should never be left in a parked car, even if the windows are down. To help prevent heat-related illness: Spend time in locations with air-conditioning. Drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids. Good choices are water and diluted sport drinks, unless told otherwise by your doctor. Choose lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing Limit outdoor activity to morning and evening hours Protect yourself from the sun by wearing hats with brims and sunscreen As people crank up air conditioning in the peak time of summer, electrical grids can become overwhelmed, causing power outages. In power outages, people who rely on electricity-dependent medical devices, like oxygen concentrators and electric wheelchairs, may need assistance, so check on your neighbors as the temperatures soar. Community organizations and businesses can help local emergency managers and health departments plan for the community’s health needs amid the summer heat — and other emergency situations that can cause power outages — us-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Quandry of coincidences

The teachers union, Jefferson County Education Association (JCEA), adamantly rejects accusations of involvement with the school board recall effort (Jeffco United for Action). Why can’t you conspiracy skeptics accept this? It’s a mere coincidence that Jeffco United’s registered agent is also the attorney for Colorado Democratic Party, who supports Jeffco United. (Editor’s note: Ed Ramey is not the attorney for the Colorado Democratic Party, but his firm has done work with it.) Jeffco United’s official contact has also identified herself in the past as a JCEA spokeswoman. Shouldn’t these conservatives apologize for implying that this is anything more than a rare coincidence? Several JCEA activists also appear as Jeffco United workers. Isn’t it churlish to make accusations of collusion, when the union assures us they have no relationship with the recall?

Call to support clean energy

I was pleased to see Senator Bennet discuss the benefits of bipartisanship. Americans must identify common interests that transcend party politics. For Colorado in particular, one such issue is the EPA’s Clean Power Plan. Bennet mentions his meeting with Senator Gardner and local scientists to discuss wildfire mitigation efforts. These wildfires will become more intense and more frequent unless we can limit pollution. The Clean Power Plan is the first piece of legislation to limit CO2 emission from power plants and is a crucial step in combating climate change. Big business and their cronies in Congress are trying to derail the Clean Power Plan. Call Sen. Bennet (303-455-7600) and Sen. Gardner (303-391-5777) and tell them to uphold this important energy initiative.

Call for smart tax reform

With tax reform again a top concern for American voters, I expect the issue to come up in Washington before long. I write to ask that when it does, our representatives in Washington work to make sure it is done the right way so it helps rather than hurts Colorado’s economy. A June Morning Consult poll found that 77 percent of registered voters said tax reform should be a priority in Washington. Clearly there is a great deal of popular support for real reform. But these voters would be tremendously disappointed if they found that politicians were using the word “reform” as cover for passing tax increases

on industries that create jobs and keep the economy moving. That is why the Senate needs to oppose the inevitable attempts to raise taxes on companies that provide our energy, which is one of the proposals being considered. Colorado’s economic growth is tied strongly to the success of U.S. energy companies. We simply cannot afford the economic consequences that would come from big tax increases on these firms. Colorado would suffer job losses, higher energy prices and a general economic slowdown from these tax hikes. Our representatives need to do all they can to prevent that from happening.

Helping calm children with lines and color Sometimes, children and adults need a soothing time, a time to calm down from whatever agitates them during the day. Research indicates drawing Zentangles and Mandalas may enhance this time. Coloring with markers, pencils and crayons help set the mood for talking softly, silence, crying a bit, working through problems and hugs.

Here are some suggestions on how to make hitting the road as smooth as possible By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com

Road trips are nostalgic. “Families want to do what they did when they were kids, with their kids,” said Jamie Twarogowski, editor for the Lakewood/Littleton Macaroni Kid, an online newsletter of programming for kids and families. “They’re special times. You’re creating memories together as a family.” But a lot goes into making a road trip enjoyable for the entire family. No matter how much a person prepares, it’s inevitable something won’t go entirely as planned — and that’s OK.

Be flexible “Frequent stops are very important,” Twarogowski said. And they don’t always have to be at rest areas. “Stop for ice cream and go to a park along the way.” A number of mobile apps can help find local parks while on the road, she added. Some activity reservations should be made in advance, Twarogowski said. But you don’t have to spend hours planning each day’s activities. For example, she said, a family needs to ensure it has booked a hotel. But if a museum or other activity happens to have an unforeseen closure when that destination is reached, it’s good to be flexible and find something else fun to do. “There may be a local festival going on that you had no idea was happening when planning the trip,” Twarogowski said.

Keep things new and exciting Because road trips entail spending hours at a time in the car, “it can get boring ...,” said Twarogowski, whose Macaroni Kid provides a list of fun, family-friendly activities. “When you see them getting bored, you want to be able bring something out quickly.” Twarogowski suggests shopping at the dollar stores or $3 to $5 racks at retail stores. Find things that are entertaining, yet time-consuming, she said. Keep things in a bag or a box and pull items out as needed. It may be best, she said, to not provide everything all at once. “You want to keep it new and exciting.” It’s the same idea when packing snacks, Twarogowski said. She suggests providing each family member with a water bottle, but packing a cooler and/or food box with preportioned snacks that can be pulled out easily. Families also need to remember to keep some things for the return trip, Twarogowski said. “The ride home can almost be worse because everybody can be really tired,” she said. “You want to make sure that you end with just as positive of a trip as when it started.”

FREE, FAMILY-FRIENDLY ROAD GAMES I Spy:

Two or more players. What you need: no additional supplies. How to play: Player 1 chooses an object in sight of all players. Player 1 decides on a clue about the object, such as its color or the letter of the alphabet the object begins with. Player 1 begins the game by saying, “I spy with my little eye, something that (insert clue).” Each player takes turns asking questions about the object. Player 1 answers the questions only with “yes” or “no.” The first player to guess the correct object wins the game, and becomes the player who spies for the next round.

License plate game:

One or more players. What you need: pen and paper for each player. How to play: Once on the road, write down every license plate you see from different states. The player with the most states wins the game. This game can be modified to last for the entire trip, each way of the trip, a designated time frame or as you pass through each state. If the child is too young to write, have an older sibling or parent volunteer to write down each license plate as the child

Electronic entertainment

Car Toys sells a wide variety of electronics to help keep the family entertained, said Chip Souder, store manager at the Northglenn location. “There’s a peace of mind” to it, he said. “They help make the road trip more enjoyable and personable.” The most popular in-car items have to do with connectivity, Souder said. “People like being able to play their own music through their car stereo system.” Plus, having a personal device with music stored on it eliminates the need to have to search for a radio station. Customers also enjoy flip-down or backseat screens, he said. There is a lot of “cool new stuff” for video screens, he added, to which people can hook up a mobile device and stream movies through. Also available for vehicles now is Wi-Fi accessibility. “It piggy-backs off your cell phone service,” Souder said, “and you can have the Internet on the go.”

Ensure the car is road-trip ready

Whether a trip requires only a couple of hours of drive time or a few days, it’s important to make sure there aren’t any preventative maintenance issues, said Mike Wanas, service manager of Golden Auto Clinic. “A breakdown can happen locally or on a long trip.” He suggested to get AAA and carry a cell phone. Wanas highly recommends getting a road trip inspection three to five days before the scheduled leave date. The time allotment is important just in case work needs to be done that may require ordering parts or something that requires a longer amount of time to repair. “Safety is the main concern,” he said.

One or more players. What you need: no additional supplies. How to play: Player 1 finds something that begins with the letter A, such as automobile. Player 2 finds something that begins with the letter B, such as brake lights, and so on. This game can become quite difficult and time-consuming for players who get assigned an odd letter, such as Q. It may need to be modified to allow street names or proper names of buildings such as restaurants and businesses.

the person driving, trooper Nate Reid said. “Make sure that person has plenty of rest.” Also, plan to have some co-drivers. “The more, the merrier,” Reid said. “Anybody capable of driving should take turns.” Another piece of advice is to pay attention to highway signs. Mile markers, especially, can help emergency teams find you a lot more quickly than having to track a cell phone signal, for example, Reid said. “Other people in the car can help,” he said. “Jot it down on a piece of paper or make a mental note of it.” Also, keep an eye on road conditions. Reid suggested using websites such as www.COtrip.org or following similar state-specific websites on Twitter to receive real-time updates. Then, of course, Reid said, there are the driving tips — limit distractions, don’t follow too closely and don’t speed. Speeding is one of the top reasons for fatal crashes, so it’s important to pay attention to speed limits, Reid said.

Lastly, enjoy it

There’s nothing like a road trip to form family togetherness, Twarogowski said. They provide opportunities to see and do things families cannot experience when taking a flight to a single destination. And that includes stopping at popular tourist destinations across the U.S. and visiting friends and family along the way. Take plenty of pictures, Twarogowski said, but try not to experience the trip through a camera lens. “Enjoy it,” Twarogowski said. “Have fun with what’s right in front of us.”

Good times brewing at RiNo hotel New Belgium Brewing is about to let the creative juices flow through a new 10-barrel pilot brewery at The Source Hotel in Denver’s River North District, which is slated to start construction later this summer. New Belgium will brew on the ground floor of the Source Hotel, with barrel aging on the eighth floor in a rooftop lounge dubbed The Woods, a collaboration between New Belgium and The Source Hotel. The Woods will serve New Belgium beers paired with small plates and will include a snack counter and bar, sit-down dining and beer garden. The eighth floor will also include a pool and rooftop deck with

mountain and downtown views. “After 25 years in Fort Collins, we’re really excited to get more deeply involved in Colorado’s cultural and political capital,” said Jenn Vervier, director of strategy and sustainability at New Belgium. “We’ve long considered creating a Denver location to bring the New Belgium experience to more of our Colorado fans and to the millions of travelers who visit Denver. RiNo is already a vivid scene with a rich art and craft beer culture, and will soon have great access for bikers and walkers. This small batch brewery will allow us to collaborate with The Woods’ chef and mixologists to create

innovative beers, drinks and pairings you can’t get anywhere else. The Source Hotel and the Zeppelin Development team are the perfect fit.” To learn more about New Belgium Brewing, check out www.NewBelgium. com, and for more on The Source, visit www.TheSourceDenver.com.

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

WHAT: “Pump Boys and Dinettes” WHERE: Miners Alley Playhouse 1224 Washington Ave., Golden WHEN: Through Aug. 22 Friday - Saturday - 7:30 p.m. Sunday - 6 p.m. COST: $26 - adult, $23 - senior and youth, $15 children younger than 12 INFORMATION: 303-935-3044 or www.minersalley. com. is a kind of a loose jam session that is really relaxing and enjoyable for everyone.” The actors play their own instruments and feature numbers like “Drinkin’ Shoes,” “Farmer Tan” and “The Night Dolly Parton Was Almost Mine!” The musical chemistry between actors was pretty instantaneous, Billings said, and that will clearly be seen on stage. The close space in Miners Alley is a great boon for the show, according to Billings and Langhoff, who have worked at Miners before. “Bigger places lose that feeling of intimacy that you get at Miners,” Billings said. “At this theater, you’re able to play with subtleties you couldn’t play in bigger places.” The show promises a great escape for an evening, Langhoff said. “More than anything, it’s a fun show.” For more information call 303-9353044 or visit www.minersalley.com.

Award-Winning Theatre in the Heart of Downtown Golden

Golden’s Miners Alley Playhouse fashioned the perfect production for the dog days of summer — light, airy and full of songs to take the audience away for a couple hours. The musical, “Pump Boys and Dinettes,” does all this and more for audiences, and is playing at Miners Alley, 1224 Washington Ave., through Aug. 22. Performances are 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 6 p.m. on Sunday. “There is some fantastic country and bluegrass music in the show, which is about friends who own a gas station and are musicians,” said director Brenda Worley Billings. “It’s really fun for audiences to get taken into their world.” The titular Pump Boys sell gasoline on Highway 57, while the Dinettes run the Double Cupp diner next door. When they’re not working, they’re visiting with each other and playing music. And that’s when the fun starts. The cast includes Jacquie Jo Billings, Barry Brown, Mitch Jervis, Steve Klein, Margie Lamb and Daniel Langhoff. “They enjoy the simple pleasures of life, and all have different relationships back and forth,” Langhoff said. “The whole show

Cowboy and Lady ropin’ ‘em in Couple performs at Cody’s Wild West By Christy Steadman

csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Joel Martin brings his family to Buffalo Bill Days every year. The Martin family now lives in Conifer, but began the yearly tradition when they lived in Golden a few years ago. His 5-year-old daughter’s favorite part at this year’s celebration was the rope tricks performed during the Cowboy and the Lady act of Cody’s Wild West re-enactment, which took place July 25. “The children are fantastic,” said Audrey Ingram, who plays the lady in the act. The performance is a family act, said her husband Craig, who plays the cowboy. “We try to make a theme and tell a story with the performance.” The couple, from Longmont, has performed the act together for 12 years, although Craig has been doing it for more than 20 years. “He roped me in,” Audrey said. The two take the show across Colorado and to neighboring states. They have performed as one of the acts for Cody’s Wild West during Golden’s Buffalo Bill Days for a number of years. “We love performing here,” Craig said. “It is fun to see the returning faces.”

Zentangles can calm

Picture a piece of paper with a few lines, curves or shapes that may be made from a thick black marker. Many thinner straight or curved lines surround, fill in and connect the original shapes until the entire page is filled with lines and white spaces. With young children, start on 4-inch-square thick paper that won’t tear easily. It will be easier to cover completely with designs. Show them how to use a black crayon, marker or pen to make a design or several smaller ones, several numbers, their initials, geometric figures like circles or flower petals scattered around the paper. Then add smaller lines and curves to connect and fill. Zentangle usually stays black and white.

Mandalas can soothe

Mandalas go a little further. Some people start with a circle and make a series of circles around the inside of the circumference. Then they start another row of smaller circles around the circumference and continue making smaller and smaller circles until they reach the center. Now they fill in the shapes with thinner straight lines, curved lines, concentric circles or patterns (repeating designs) until the entire page is filled and all oshapes are connected in some way. The effect is like a Tiffany stained glass rose window. A large square, rectangle or triangle can be divided the same way. Artists often start with thick lines, but there are no rules. Anything can be incorporated into the larger design. Besides soothing people, Zentangles and Mandalas help children develop printing skills, eye-hand coordination and a sense of color. Most Mandalas have symmetry, balance and color added to spaces. There are no requirements, though, and that’s the point. For more about Zentangle, see information on Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. For Mandala books see Engelbreit’s “Color” or Marotta’s “Animal Kingdom” for older children and adults. Esther Macalady lives in Golden and writes for Grandparents Teach Too.

Aces in t he hol e

A hole-in-one takes luck, but skill and strategy don’t hurt By Jim Benton

FUN FACTS

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

GAME

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

At The Links Golf Course in Highlands Ranch, this is what you get for a hole-in-one. Photos by Jim Benton and being good at it are factors. Jason Preeo, a MetaGolf instructor at Broken Tee and the boys golf coach at Valor Christian, said it takes a combination of skill and luck to get an ace. He’s made five of them, by the way. “There’s the expression, ‘The better you are, the luckier you get,’” said Preeo, who has played in the U.S. Open. “For the most part, that is true. If you hit the ball close to the hole every fifth shot instead of every 10th shot, your odds for a hole-in-one go up.” Club selection is one of the keys to improving the odds of collecting an ace, Loeffler said. “The amateurs I play with in pro-ams, 95 percent of them are always short,” he said. “I keep telling them to take a half-club more

or whatever. Just take more club to get there. You can’t make a hole-in-one if you can’t get the ball to the hole. Most people don’t take enough club. Distance is the key.” Players of all ages and abilities can attest to that. Pat Allen, an 89-year-old, once-a-week player from Littleton, used an 8-iron to ace the 70-yard fifth hole on the par-3 course at Foothills Golf Course on June 15. She has been playing for 49 years. “It was a lot of fun,” Allen said. “Before I croak, I hope to have another one. That was my first, and I intend to take it with me when I go. “I hit the ball, and it was a pretty shot. It went across the small water that was there, and it landed on the green and went ‘plop.’

I realized it, but I wasn’t sure until I heard one of my fellow playmates say it went in the hole — and that’s when I went ‘Whoopie!’” Walker Kurtz, 12, just started playing golf last summer, but he made a hole-in-one in June on the 143-yard first hole on South Suburban’s par-3 course in Centennial with a 9-iron. “I was really surprised because I didn’t know what happened,” the Centennial resident said. “I needed a minute to take it all in. I was really excited. “I didn’t realize at first what an accomplishment it was, but now that everyone has told me about it, it’s kind of gotten really cool. I guess it was beginner’s luck.”

Pros race it out on the mountain Torrence edges Shumacher for win By Scott Stocker There are always a lot of various thoughts and plans for drivers in the National Hot Rod Association when the organization heads into Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. After all, the track rests a little over a mile high on the side of a mountain. Steve Torrence, who hails from Kilgore, Texas, felt he pulled out a fantastic win in last weekend’s Mile High Nationals in the sports top classification, Top Fuel. He defeated Tony Schumacher with a championship pass of 3.925 seconds at 319.37 milesper-hour while his foe was clocked in 3.94 seconds, 305.08 mph. “I just think this is fantastic to win on the side of the mountain and a victory here that will always stand out for me,” said Torrence, who garnered his fifth career win. “I’m gaining confidence and I want to do whatever it takes to be successful. I got my first win against Tony today, but I was able to beat a

lot of tough guys this week. I’m very gratified as I’ve never won on the mountain before and it’s certainly a good beginning to our western swing.” Defending Mile High Top Fuel champion J.R. Todd, from Indianapolis, qualified in the No. 9 position but was unable to win his second round encounter against Larry Dixon, also from Indianapolis. He beat Antron Brown to open the final round. Dixon, though, didn’t fare much better in his semifinal as he was beaten by Torrence.

Funny Car

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

second straight loss in the finals of the Mile Highs for Force in his category.

Pro Stock

Pro Stock’s defending Mile High champion, Allen Johnson, drew a bye in the first round the easily advanced to the finals. However, he was beaten by Larry Morgan in the championship race. It was Morgan’s second career win in Denver as he came through in 1990. Johnson, by the way, was seeking his fourth consecutive win at Bandimere as well as his sixth win in his last nine appearances on the side of the mountain after easily winning his first two races enroute to the finals. This final, by the way, took a little bit longer than normal due to staging. Neither driver was anxious to get ready on the starting line as it took nearly two minutes for them to stage their green light. “I was actually worrying about running out of fuel,” said Morgan, who clocked a 6.994 second pass at 199.07 mph. “I guess he didn’t want to stage right away and I guess I didn’t, either. This is a great win for me on such a fine race track and I was so

excited to win. Allen has done a great job up here in the past and he’s earned his places. This week, I just want to borrow it.” Unfortunately, it also was a short day on the track for Lakewood’s V. Gains in Pro Stock. He was eliminated in the first round, beaten by Shane Gray of Denver, North Carolina. Gaines recorded a quicker run timewise, 6.952 to Gray’s 6.955. It’s just that Gray was quicker off the line when the green light flashed. And, yes, there is another city of Denver in the country.

Pro Stock Motorcycle

Eddie Krawiec, from Brownsburg, Indiana, came through with his third win at Bandimere winning in Pro Stock Motorcycle. He edged Hector Arana Jr. of Miltown, Indiana, with a pass of 7.230 seconds to his foe’s 7.239. “It’s a long road trip on the western swing and you never know when you are going to get a win,” said Krawiec. “There is just a lot of great competition in all our categories and I got this one on the hole shot. It takes a lot of work and effort to dig out a Pros continues on Page 20

Arvada woman rules the quarter-mile Golden man finishes second in Stock Eliminator By Scott Stocker Arvada’s Victoria Johnson proved women can compete with the finest drivers when it comes to racing on the country’s quarter-mile drag strips. Johnson won the Top Dragster classification in last week’s National Hot Rod Association’s Mile High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. And she was able to beat Adam Chioda, who lives in Frederick with a 7.201-second effort at 186.46 mph. Choida ran 7.974 seconds at a “slow” 161.85 mph. As it turned out, Johnson was one of three Colorado drivers with victories in the six, non-professional divisions. Joining her with victories over the quarter-mile track were Bill Percival of Highlands Ranch in Super Comp and Ron Williams of Longmont in Top Sportsman. “Having the opportunity to race in the Mile High Nationals here at Bandimere just makes me feel good,” said Johnson. “We just put so much out and this is such a joy. It felt fantastic after Friday’s qualifying and I felt confident we could win on Sunday. My key was just to stay calm and I was able to pull it out.” The top qualifier in Johnson’s division was Michael Candelairo of Brighton. How-

ever, he failed to reach the finals. Ironically, none of the other top qualifiers in the six amateur divisions reached the finals in any of the six classes. Four were from Colorado. Percival fashioned a pass of 9.5 seconds at 156.39 mph to defeat Brighton’s Justin Ewing, who ran 9.541 seconds at 150.98 mph. He only wished his brother Brian could have come out victorious in Super Gas rather than having to settle for runnerup. Brian lost to Michael Miller from Santa Fe as he ran 10.518 seconds at 131.95 mph to his opponent’s 10.539 seconds at 131.95 mph. “This event is great and it felt good and incredible,” Percival said. “I had the car and I felt our team could do good. Not making any mistakes was the way to win. It just would have been a lot better had Brian been able to also pull out a victory.” Indeed, Brian was a bit depressed by not pulling out his victory, yet pleased with the overall efforts over the weekend. “This is a big race and for us to reach the finals was great in our classes was fine,” Brian said. “To win races on the Mountain is great for me and my brother. We’ve both made finals in other events in our careers, but the Mile Highs is the first time in a national event that we both reach the finals in our classes on the same day.” The Top Sportsman division also featured tow Colorado finalists, Ron Williams of Longmont and JJ Heber from Centen-

Williams, who qualified in the 17th position, basically pulled out the win at the starting line. He came through with a .004-second reaction time at the green light to Heber’s .164 –second effort. Littleton’s Jim Hawkins couldn’t pull out the victory in the Super Stock class as he

was beaten by Dan Fletcher of Churchville, New York. Golden’s Scott Burton finished second in Stock Eliminator, beaten by Ryan Montford of Wichita, Kansas. Burton clocked a pass of 11.35 seconds at 98.98 mph to Montford’s 10.028 seconds at 119.04 mph.

win on the mountain and there are just so many changes that have to be made at this altitude. My cycle has been fast and consistent and I just look forward to the rest of the season and our western trip.” Littleton’s Mike Berry was the only Colorado rider in Pro Stock Motorcycle. He failed to reach the final 16, running 17th in the qualifier. “We have a new motor and we have been fighting this summer,” Berry said. “I’ve missed the last two events as I’ve had a friend out of work and I’ve wanted to help him. It’s good to be back and I just love to be at the races on our track here at Bandimere.”

Several Bandimere Speedway track professional records were set during ideal track conditions on a cool July 24 evening during qualifying sessions for the Mopar Mile High Nationals. • In Top Fuel, Larry Dixon set an elapsed time record of 3.791 seconds, and Brittany Force established a standard of 326.95 miles per hour. • John Force is the new Bandimere Speedway record holder for elapsed time of
