PRESENTING PRINCESS KEELY By Michelle Boyer
Mkboyer8@gmail.com It was all glitz and glamour, showered in her favorite color — pink — last Friday for Brighton resident and 6-year-old cancer survivor Keely Waterman. As proclaimed by Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, Friday was named “Princess Keely Day” in honor of the 6 year old. “I’ve always wanted to be a princess,” she said. “Today is pretty awesome.” She felt really special during her coronation at the Brown Palace in Denver. Keely was blessed with family and friends attending the formal tea Friday and wanted to thank them all for coming to the event and supporting her through her journey. Her favorite princess is “Aurora” from the fairy tale, “Sleeping Beauty.”
POSTAL ADDRESS
“I like her because she wears pink all the time,” she said. “She also gets to sing and dance a lot.” As one of Keely’s first official acts as Princess, she started the Oyster Race an urban adventure race on Saturday at the downtown Aquarium in Denver. She also helped judge part of the Oyster Race competition. The princess suffers from a Wilm’s tumor, which is a cancer of the kidneys. “This has been an incredible experience for our family,” tearful mother Kristy Waterman said. “You don’t always realize it, as you’re going through the day-to-day of surviving cancer, how much it takes out of you. Keely has come through it all — like a rock star.” Waterman said the coronation was incredible. “It’s so fun to see her so serious and what all this has meant to her,” she said. The Watermans were guests at the Ritz-Carlton, Denver during the weekend. Keely was greeted with roses, chocolates and a necklace from Tiffany’s to help commemorate the weekend at the hotel. Make-A-Wish Foundation is the world’s largest wish granting organization. Since 1983, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has given hope, strength and joy to children with life-threatening medical conditions to more than 4,200

‘E-470 Eagle’ dies two days after first flight BRIGHTON BANNER (USPS 290)
Eagle could not be saved after it got stuck in a muddy ditch

A young bald eagle born just a few yards near E-470 and 120th Avenue interchange in Adams County died July 23 after becoming trapped in a ditch. The death came despite efforts of the Raptor Education Foundation (REF), E-470 Public Highway Authority and several dozens of volunteers who did their best to ensure the fledging’s survival. “It is no small matter, the death of an eagle,” said Anne Price, curator of raptors with REF on its Facebook page. “And this eagle was very special to many, many people. All of us, from the men on the ground at the nest, to myself, and I know many of you, are shedding many tears. It does not matter that she was never truly ‘ours.’” Price said that an REF member and the district wildlife manager with the Colorado Parks and Wildlife discovered the eagle stuck in a ditch near the log she had been sitting on. She was weak, unable to stand and vomited quite a bit of muddy water and other stomach contents. Before she could be rushed to the veterinarian, she died at approximately 2:50 p.m.

The “E-470 Eagle” was hatched in mid-April just a few yards from the E-470 and 120th Avenue exchange. It died just a couple days after it took its first flight. Photo courtesy of the Raptor Education Foundation Facebook page “We who watch and work with eagles knew that the odds were against her from the start; around 70 percent of all bald eagles never live to see their first birthday,” Price said. The E-470 Eagle hatched in mid-April and had just taken its first flight two days before she died. She had been monitored by REF, the E-470 Highway Authority and about 50 volunteers, called the Eagle Brigade, for several days.
There was concern that it would land in traffic. The volunteers served as monitors to help steer her out of harm’s way. E-470 Public Highway Authority posted warning signs along the tollway to alert motorists of the eagle and provided safety vehicles and safety vests for the volunteers. “Lots of the staff members at E-470 are feeling very protective of this bird,” said Brighton Mayor Dick McLean, who serves as the E-470’s board chair, in a June 20 statement. “They’re putting a lot of effort into shielding it from harm, and a number of them are volunteering their free time.” Price said a necropsy is planned and the foundation would make those results available. The foundation posted daily updates, photos and videos of the eagle on its Facebook page. Posts included information on her movements, what she ate and some scary close calls, such as on July 22 when the eagle was acting erratic near a barbed wire fence. While the volunteers and foundation took the eagle’s safety seriously, there were signs of humor as they waited for her to take her first flight. On its July 9 post, it stated the eagle held a press conference saying she was tired of her parents pushing independence on her and was not ready to give up a fine view and free food.

Chambers strive to make connections “The chamber is important, but there are lots of other new groups,” said John Brackney, former longtime president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. “It’s hard to determine whether any of them are valuable or not. It’s easier to get the message out, but there are a lot of them. You get lost in all the messages.”
Networking is not a lost art, business groups’ leaders say By Chris Rotar
crotar@coloradocommunitymedia.com High heels, ties knotted tight, cell phones set to silent mode. Polite conversation permeates the room. Business cards are dealt with a smile. Eggs, bacon, breakfast burritos. Captains of industry sip coffee. They’re juiced. They are gathered at a chamber of commerce function, in a town near you, in hopes of gleaning the nuggets of wisdom that can take their business to the next level. This morning’s presentation could be on commercial real estate sales, or it could be on the need to expand public transportation. Some might say, however, that what happened in the minutes before — the handshakes, the eye contact, the heaping helpings of conversation — is the main attraction. No doubt, networking remains vital in the business world. But are scenarios like the one above as important as they once were?
Name tag vs. hashtag
Lakewood resident Ernie Witucki was the CEO of chambers of commerce in Colorado, Indiana and New Mexico in the 1960s and 1970s. He believes convincing chamber members to attend networking events can be a tough sell. “It’s hard to get chamber members to break away from work,” said Witucki, who remains active in chambers in Jefferson County. “Social events are good, but you’re only reaching a very small portion of your members. “Everybody’s in a rush today. It is tough to get chamber members to attend an event after, let’s say, 9 a.m. Once they get entrenched in their business, they try to protect their time.” Enter technology.
Keeping it real
PART
3 OF 3 PART SERIES
Most Denver metro-area chambers that responded to a Colorado Community Media survey say they are embracing the Internet’s role in facilitating connections. Andrea LaRew, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Highlands Ranch, said there is no doubt the web is changing the game. She sees businesses doing more with less manpower and, like Witucki, acknowledges members’ time constraints. “We recognize that the Internet is often the first place people go for answers,” she said. “Therefore, we have increased our online presence in an effort to meet our members’ needs. “We are implementing new ways to engage our members through online communities, webinars, and new software that allows our members to communicate with each other.” To Shiley Johnson, interim CEO at the Metro North Chamber of Commerce, the Internet is an essential tool if chambers are to remain relevant. “In that regard, we have put technology to good use, creating a website that enhances our sense of community,” he said. In addition to their own websites, chambers can use tools like Facebook and Meetup.com to broaden their reach. At the same time, those and similar online tools can be utilized by businessmen and women in lieu of chamber membership.

Denver Botanic Gardens’ CEO Brian Vogt, who preceded Brackney as chief of the South Metro Chamber, can testify to the benefits of technology’s evolution. “First, fax machines were the greatest thing ever, then the Internet. You don’t have to print so many things, like newsletters and bulletins… It’s a huge cost savings, and a huge pain-in-the-neck savings.” Just as it can promote going green, the Internet can be a handy alternative to attending networking events in brick-and-mortar buildings. But to many, a primary benefit of joining a chamber of commerce is face time. “While it’s true that many needs can be met on the Internet, I passionately believe that chambers of commerce will remain relevant because they are people-based,” said Donna Russell, a board member for the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce. “People still rely on other people. A business can create exposure for itself through the Internet, but there is only one way to bring a community together, and that’s by bringing them together and putting a face on personality, integrity and, ultimately, a professional.” The same can be said for enticing people and businesses to town, chamber leaders say. “Yes, people can go online and research a community,” said Pam Ridler, president of the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce. “When they get here, though, you have to have that human connection. So we try to provide that kind of thing. How can we introduce people in the community? You can try to do it online, but to me, that isn’t longlived. “We create relationships.” — Jennifer Smith and Amy Woodward contributed to this report.
Turnover at the top Staff Report The faces of chambers of commerce, quite literally, are changing. At least four metro-area chambers have had their top official step down so far in 2014. Several other area chambers, including the ones in Arvada, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree and Parker, have seen turnover at the top since the summer of 2013. But the Denver suburbs aren’t alone. “There’s a ton of turnover going on everywhere,” said Dave Kilby, president and CEO of the Western Association of Chamber Executives. “I tell people the chamber industry is an opportunity industry. Half of our CEOs in the West are 55 or over. There are people almost weekly that are leaving because of retirement. There are a lot of CEO searches right now.” Retirement is one reason. But also, chamber leaders commonly leave for a higherpaying post, Kilby said. In other cases, he said, the job just didn’t live up to the hype. In any case, Kilby says, don’t look for a common thread in the Denver-area turnover. “I think in every one of those CEO changes, there’s probably a different story,” he said. “There’s nothing in the water; it’s just a coincidence. You could go to a similar geography and find something similar.” Below is a look at some of the turnover in 2014: Golden Chamber of Commerce Who left? Gary Wink (19 years) Resigned: January 2014 New president/CEO: Dawn Smith Metro North Chamber of Commerce Who left? Deborah Obermeyer (15 years) Resigned: May 2014 Recruitment process in progress South Metro Denver Chamber Who left?

Mkboyer8@gmail.com Thirty pairs of dirty hands make Brighton a prettier place. That’s the Bloomin’ Buddies Garden Club, which meets the third Saturday of each month, January through October. The best part is it’s free to be a member. “We start with three months of classes in January through March, and they’ve been in conjunction with the Colorado State University extension center,” Lisa Schneider said. “This is a service we offer to help people get more involved. “Our mission is to engage members of the Brighton community in the joys and rewards of gardening by providing education and information exchange about horticulture and gardening practices, and touring gardens,” Schneider said. Schneider said the group focuses each year on planting at Benedict Park. “Our goal is to erect a sign board, so people are able to see more information about the plants that have been installed at the park. That way if they see something they like they are able to learn how to grow it in their own yard.” The club has done a variety of plantings at the Armory. On the west side of the building they planted roses, perennials and bushes to help make the grounds more appealing. “We work in conjunction with the city to make Brighton a prettier town to live in,” Schneider said. “We share knowledge of what has worked for us and what hasn’t. We’re pretty much plant nerds and want to promote gardening.” Schneider said the group would eventually like to sponsor a “Best Yard in Town” contest as a means to get the community interested in sprucing up yards.
The Bloomin’ Buddies also has been the community garden for Brighton Shares the Harvest, a program providing fresh produce to the tables in the Brighton Community. It has also visited the demonstration gardens at CSU, Washington Park, Hudson Gardens and Water World to learn more about plants and gardening methods. Schneider said in October each year a member of the group will host a harvest festival. “It’s a fun time where we’ve learned to make such things as wreaths, cornhusk dolls and gourds,” she said. “We also talk about what happened in our gardens and share our successes and failures. We get a lot of gardeners together and come up with a lot of great things.” The garden group is a nonprofit organization. “The funds we get we reinvest back into the community,” Schneider said. “We’re doing it to help beautify the community and to inspire people to be more interested in gardening.” The club has gotten funds through various projects. The bloomin’ buddy buckets is a fundraiser in May, where members will make plants to sell to their neighbors or businesses within the community. Tagawa’s Greenhouse donates the soils and plants used for the project. Welby Gardens donates the perennials and plant materials for the market day sale. The Bloomin’ Buddies next big adventure will be Market Day on Saturday, Aug. 23. “We’ll have a booth set up at the event,” she said. “We’ll have perennials, plants and soil for sale which will be donated from Welby Gardens. Come see us and support the garden club in making Brighton a more beautiful place to live.” For more information about the Bloomin’ Buddies Garden Club visit the Facebook page Brighton Bloomin’ Buddies Garden Club.

4th Annual Ice Cream Social Local Brighton Business celebrating summer with free scoop of ice cream By Lou Ellen Bromley
bromleyclan@hotmail.com Lisa and Joe Hoffman owners of Past and Present Antiques and Gifts are hosting the 4th annual old fashion Ice Cream Social at their store Saturday, Aug. 2 at 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. They will be serving a free scoop of ice cream and other treats to every visitor to the store. They will also be offering a 15 percent discount on all merchandise store wide, except on select items. Their store is located at 1295 East Bridge Street in Brighton. There will be several vendors set up outside with additional items for sale, weather permitting. Lisa and Joe got started in the antique business by accident, they spent a lot of their free time at estate auctions, and would buy boxes
full of stuff. After sorting through the boxes they would chose several items and hold garage sales. Often times the items they found inside the boxes from these sales were antiques or collectibles. Friends told them they really needed to open an antique store, so one day Lisa decided it was the right thing to do and told Joe she wanted to try opening a store. Joe and Lisa have ran the Past and Present Antique and Gift store coming up on 4 years now and say they really enjoy the people of Brighton. The old fashion Ice Cream Social came about because it was something fun to do during the hot part of the summer and is reminiscent of ice cream socials held in Brighton in the past. While looking at several items in the store you can’t help but recall times from your childhood or think “I remember Grandma having that.” The public is invited to come by and have a scoop of ice cream, stay and visit with neighbors and take a look around the store.
NEW STORE OPENS

Free barbecue draws strong turnout By Lou Ellen Bromley
bromleyclan@hotmail.com The annual city of Brighton Barbecue was held Thursday night at Charmichael Park with a record turnout of people, showing up to enjoy the food provided by the city, and live music provided by Dave Connolly. Brighton residents could also choose to use this opportunity to talk with Brighton’s city council members and other city department employees who were on hand to offer information and answer any questions. Brighton’s Police officers were in charge if the grills, cooking up hundreds of hamburgers and hot dogs. While volunteers from city council, Eagle View Adult Center and numerous other department employees served food and lemonade to the appreciative guests. There was a bounce house provided for the children’s entertainment and fire hats and balloons were passed out to children. Most of the city departments and several community groups had booths set up to provide information on their different programs or services. Each of the city council members gave a short speech, starting with Brighton Mayor Dick McLean, who welcomed everyone to the barbecue. This event hosted by the city of Brighton was an excellent opportunity for the people of Brighton to discover first hand some of the great things going on in Brighton and what Brighton has to offer as a community.

GERARD HEALEY President MIKKEL KELLY Publisher and Editor GLENN WALLACE Assistant Editor ASHLEY REIMERS Community Editor
Don’t miss out on second chances In casual golf outings when we shank our first shot into the lake and reach back into our bag for another ball to tee it up one more time, we call that shot a mulligan. And many times that second ball is just as bad as the first; however, there are those times when that mulligan works out extremely well and puts us safely back in play. Many successful salespeople and thriving businesses have learned a long time ago that when a prospective customer says “no” to the offering or proposal, that “no” is only “no” for now, it is not a “no” forever. Early in my own selling career, I was told “no” by a prospect 12 times before they finally agreed to see me one more time where that “no” finally turned into a “yes” as I made the sale. That is an extreme example, and as many of you who are in sales or in business have learned, if we do not take that second shot, “no” will always be “no.” We can all probably think of a time where we let some words fly from our mouths without any filter or thought for what we were about to say or how we would say it. Now most people might think that there is absolutely no chance for a verbal mulligan, but how many relationships and friendships have been saved through heartfelt, apologetic, or encouraging and loving words? If we
never take the time to seek that second chance, we will never have the opportunity to repair the relationships that matter most in our lives. Have you ever given someone a second chance? Have you yourself ever needed a second chance? My guess would be that the answer to both questions would be yes. It’s what we do with those second chances that really matters. Typically, successful second chances include extra effort in thought and preparation. The mulligans in our lives have a much greater likelihood of reaching the green when we take the time to understand where things went wrong in the first place. Once we recognize the error, large or small, in our technique, tactics, or spoken words, we can adjust accordingly and are well on our way to success and happiness. Now in professional golf, we all know
there is no such thing as a mulligan. The professional golfer knows that if a mistake is made, he or she will pay the price through additional strokes. In life, we are penalized with missed opportunities if we say the wrong things or take wayward steps. However, in most cases we do have an opportunity to make things right as we capitalize on our second chances. Now maybe my example of being rejected 12 times before finally making that sale is an extreme case. However, in sales just as in life, we need to recognize the importance of resilience and maintaining a positive attitude of perseverance. “No” today does not mean “no” tomorrow, and a harsh word spoken today does not mean it could not be forgiven tomorrow. How about you, are there situations or opportunities in your life where you could use a second chance or take a mulligan right about now? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we make the most of our second chances, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Highlands Ranch, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation and the CEO/ founder of www.candogo.com.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
What is your favorite thing about pickleball? Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in the nation, with courts recently opening in Arvada and Lakewood. We went to the opening of the new outdoor courts at the Green Mountain Recreation Center to talk to supporters about why they love the game.
“It truly is for all ages that everyone can play.” Sara Livingston, Lakewood
“It provides an opportunity for people to be both active and social. You play it once and love it.” Peggy Boccard, Lakewood
“It’s a continuous sport, is easy on people and isn’t quite as strenuous as a lot of others are.” Ken Adducci, Lakewood
“It’s very social – people can talk with each other – and helps with reaction and agility.” Chris Beal, Denver

Hansen seeks re-election for District 3 Commissioner highlights progress made during his first term By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com While there have been many changes during his first four years as a commissioner, Erik Hansen said there is more work to be done. Hansen is running for a second term as the District 3 representative on the Adams County Board of Commissioners. Some of the accomplishments during his time on the board, he said, include implementing a number of ethical reforms, increasing Hansen transparency on the county’s website, reforming the county’s purchasing policies and streamlining department services. “Those are significant changes we made to how Adams County government functions,” said the Republican incumbent. “I think we’re delivering better services now than when we used to.” Prior to serving on the board, Hansen was the mayor of Thornton from 2007 until the time he was sworn in as a commissioner in January 2011. He had served as a councilman in Thornton from 2001 to 2007. When Hansen began his term, the county had been embroiled in the Quality Paving scandal that involved overcharging the county for services. He was the first new face on the board in at least eight years and he immediately began to push for ethical reforms to clean up the county, he said.
“I think you had a board that had been there a long time and didn’t want to change,” he said. “When I was elected I think it shook things up a bit.” Aside from the reforms, Hansen said he also was the push behind placing a question on the ballot that allowed an increase of members of the board from three to five, which voters approved. “That’s the kind of thing that will provide better government to the people,” he said. He also noted the progress made in the area of transportation since he was elected to the board, including the start of the construction of the FasTracks on the North Metro Line and the Interstate 25 high occupancy vehicle (HOV) tolled express lanes from U.S. 36 to 120th Avenue. However, more work needs to be done to ensure economic growth, the completion of the FasTracks line and plus, Hansen said, infrastructure is still needed throughout the county. “I think I’ve proven in the past I can get the job done,” he said. If re-elected, Hansen said he would like to continue to promote a Home Rule Charter that would replace some elected offices with hired staff and have the remaining offices be elected through non-partisan elections. Hansen has a bachelor’s degree in political science from Truman State University and a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Denver. He was awarded the Gates Foundation Fellowship in 2011 to attend the Harvard Kennedy School’s State and Local Government Executive program. The commissioner serves as chair of the North Area Transportation Alliance and is a member of the several boards including the Adams County Economic Development and Front Range Airport Authority.

Bartender mixes it up with best Sean Kenyon, bartender extraordinaire at Williams & Graham, was named American Bartender of the Year at the Spirited Awards July 19 in the Sheraton Hotel New Orleans. Kenyon was among four finalists along with Jeff Bell (PDT, New York), Marcovaldo Dionysos (Smuggler’s Cove, San Francisco), and Bobby Heugel (Anvil Bar & Refuge, Houston). The Spirited Awards are held each year during Tales of the Cocktail, the world’s premier cocktail festival, bringing together the international spirits community for five days of what’s now, what’s new and what’s next in bartending. “I am still stunned by the whole thing,” Kenyon told Eater Denver. “I didn’t think I was going to win. Someone from a secondary market doesn’t have as much of a chance to win as much as people from the coasts, and with the guys from New York and San Francisco in the running, I just didn’t expect to win.” According to Eater Denver, Robert Simonson, author and journalist for The New York Times, tweeted this after Kenyon’s win: “Jul 19 #spiritedawards win for @SeanKenyon likely to be biggest thing yet to happen to Denver cocktail scene, attention-wise. #totc” What did Kenyon say in his acceptance speech? “I thanked my wife — I couldn’t do anything I do without her. I thanked my family at Williams & Graham — I love them. I thanked Steve Olson and Andy Seymour, two of my mentors. And I thanked my father; he never sat me down to tell me what to do, but I learned everything I know about bartending and hospitality from him. I prepared nothing for my speech because I am superstitious, but I ended with a call to young bartenders everywhere: Honor yourself, honor your peers, and honor your craft.”
Summer eatery week set
Cities host outdoor films By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Summer is the time to be outdoors, to relax with friends and family and enjoy the best panoramas nature has to offer. With drive-in theaters all but faded into cultural memory, cities have been picking up the torch and offering residents free ways to catch some favorite films while enjoying the summer weather. Arvada, Golden and Westminster all have free outdoor movie events planned for August’s Fridays, offering the perfect way to enjoy the tail end of the season. Arvada’s Flicks in the Square,
located at Olde Town Square, Olde Wadsworth Boulevard and 56th Ave., kicks off on Aug. 1 with The Goonies and runs every Friday through Aug. 29. Golden’s Movies and Music in the Park, located at Parfet Park, 10th St. and Washington Ave., starts with the classic The Wizard of Oz on Aug. 1, and runs through Aug. 22 Wesminster’s Movie in the Park, located at Westminster Center Park, 4801 W. 92nd Ave., will be showing The Lego Movie on Aug. 15. “This is something we’ve been doing for the past several years and our residents love it,” said Karen Miller, president of the Historic Olde Town Arvada organization. “We’ve got a really good series this year.”
Miller said that each movie has a specific business sponsor, who helps make sure things go smoothly during the evening and helps pick activities to do before the film starts, which is at dusk. “Crowds start showing up early so we’ve been working with Healthy Places Arvada to bring some physical activities to the events,” she said. “For Akeelah we’re going to have a kind of informal spelling bee and we’ve got a whole bunch of 60’s style activities during the week of Hairspray.” Golden’s Movies & Music features local bands, from Flock of Beagles and Face to Mass Hipsteria

Brighton City Council was given a first look at the proposed landscaping for the historic Bromley-Hishinuma farm on Bromley Lane. Jamie Ramos, landscape architect with Stanley Consultants presented the master plan at a study session earlier this month. The plans were approved by the State Historic Fund staff, and will include shade trees along the lane to the house and flowers for several gardens around the house and out-buildings in-keeping with the time period of 1883 to 1940 The plans also include the placement of other trees on the south end of the farm to act as a buffer and windbreak between the farm and the parking area. The location of the trees will also create a buffer between the farm and a future housing development to the south. The addition of 15th Street along the west of the property, with two additional entryways, will give traffic access into a fifty space parking lot located to the south of the farm. When completed the Bromley-Hishinuma farm will be able to host several events in
ers on this list (we have seven holdovers we couldn’t possibly change, and 26 new entries) embody a commitment to almost austere excellence, sacrificing the show-tricks of crazy meat toppings in favor of nailing the genuine article.”

The supplies can be purchased through Aug. 14 by customers at any of the more than 60 Dollar Tree and Deals stores in the metro area and placed in collection boxes in each store. The Back-to-School Brigade program is a nationwide campaign by Operation Homefront and Dollar Tree. This is the sixth year that Dollar Tree has partnered with Operation Homefront for the program. Last year, Dollar Tree patrons donated more than $4.7 million of supplies nationwide. Once the program ends, Operation Homefront volunteers will collect and distribute the gifts to military children during the back-toschool season in August and September. Go to www.operationhomefront.net for more details on how to contribute. Dollar Tree has stores throughout the metro area, including Lakewood, Westminster, Arvada, Aurora, Commerce City, Federal Heights, Thornton, Littleton, Englewood, Northglenn, Highlands Ranch, Golden, Parker, Castle Rock and Denver.

and Dr. Harlan’s Amazing Bluegrass Tonic. “We started with just movies in 2002 and expanded to include music in 2005,” said Karlyn Tilley, communications manager with the city. “We make sure everything is family friendly, from the bands to the films we’re showing.” One of the things Golden has really expanded in recent years is bringing food trucks to the events. This year the events will feature the Cilantro Truck, Quiero Arepas, South Philly Cheese Steaks and Sweetwater Farms Ice Cream. “We look for different kinds of food for people and we have popcorn, of course,” Tilley said. “If visitors want to bring their own food, they are more than welcome.” Attendees at all three events are invited to bring their own chairs, blanks and pillows to make themselves comfortable, but these events are wildly popular so be sure to get there early. “We get people in the spring asking about what movies we’re going to be showing,” said Miller. For Tilley, and all involved, these events are a chance to celebrate with the community. “It’s something more we can do for our community,” she said. “We’re really excited for this season — we’ve got some great bands and movies.” And for even more outdoors movie fun, with a side of music, there’s always Red Rock’s popular Film on the Rocks series. The program continues to the end of the summer, with Who Framed Roger Rabbit? on Monday,
Brighton, and will include a working farm with a several different farm animals. The possibility of a shallow water well for use for irrigation on the farm is also being looked into by Brighton Parks and Recreation staff. Also at the meeting, the Lodging Tax advisory committee provided a summary of four applications for mini grants for use in the city of Brighton. Mini grants are small awards of funds provided by the lodging tax, not to exceed $5,000 to help promote programs, projects, events and activities within Brighton. This is only the second year Brighton has given out such grants. Brighton chamber of Commerce requested funds to expand on the current “Live Local, Buy Brighton” program. The Kiwanis Club of Brighton requested funds for the “Predator A.W.A.R.E fair, to help educate parents and children on ways to prevent child abductions. The heART of Brighton/The Armory Performing Arts Center requested two grants for funds for a Roast and Toast of Glen Murray at the Market Weekend Aug. 22, and an evening with Albin Wagner, with a dinner and talk about the untold stories of Brighton to be held this fall. Summer yoga at Red Rocks Denver-based Core Power Yoga is partnering with Denver Arts & Venues for the 2014 Yoga on the Rocks series that started July 26. And there are more Yoga on the Rocks events, Aug. 2, 9 and 16, at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison. Summer adventurers and yogis alike are invited to experience Red Rocks Amphitheatre from a new perspective — the DownwardFacing Dog. Hours for the event: 6 a.m. doors open; first 500 people to arrive get a free yoga mat; 7 a.m. yoga class; 8 a.m. free snacks from Whole Foods Market in the Upper Plaza. Individual sessions are $12 per person, per class. Tickets are only available at www.corepoweryoga.com/yogaontherocks and each session is limited to 1,600 people. A donation of $1 per admission will benefit the Whole Planet Foundation, a nonprofit that works to alleviate poverty by supporting more than 500,000 women entrepreneurs in 59 countries worldwide.

Mkboyer8@gmail.com Despite Jose Treto’s strong efforts Sunday night, Brighton couldn’t pull off another win for a second state title in two weeks. Brighton lost to Eaton 4-2 in seven innings of the American Legion 17-andunder baseball championship game. Treto gave up just one hit, allowed no runs, walked none and struck out one during part of an inning. Seth Armentrout took the loss for Brighton. Playing 5 1/3 innings, he walked three, struck out four, and allowed four runs. Eaton took the lead early with a run in the second, and stayed on top until the final out after taking the lead in the fifth, scoring two runs on an RBI single by Lind. “Despite a disappointing end to such a great summer season, I want all the team to know how proud I am of every single one of them,” Coach Ray Garza
Brighton Bulldogs 7U lost in the final game of the American Legion to Eaton on Sunday 4-2. Courtesy photo said. “After losing 11 quality seniors many believed our program would lose its mojo. However, after a 57-14-1 record all doubters can look elsewhere, because
we’ll rise to any challenges that lie ahead. Until then don’t forget we’re Connie Mack State Champions, and no one can ever take that away. You are all ordinary
players doing extraordinary things which I’m glad to be a part of.” Garza thanks his team and coaches for a great summer.
Bull-pup camp bridges the gap Brighton High School hosts yearly youth football camp By Michelle Boyer
Mkboyer8@gmail.com Growing up in Brighton, football Coach Pat Sandoval saw how unique football really was. He helped start the Bull-pup Football Camp in 2000. The camp is offered to youth 7- to- 12-years-olds, Aug. 4 to 6, from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Each year the camp averages around 50 kids. Last year 45-50 participated and some years have seen as many as 70 kids at the camp.
“I believe this is a great community builder between the high school players and the youth of the community,” he said. “Most of the high school athletes assist in the camp, and most of them have come through the bull-pup camp themselves. I like to think of this as a very special bridge between the BHS players and the kids of Brighton.” Goals of the camp are to learn basic fundamentals, develop individual skills in a team atmosphere and to develop each player both offensively and defensively. In the offensive phase, skills will be involved for the running backs, quarterbacks, linemen and receivers. In the defensive phase, skills will focus on the linemen, defensive backs and linebackers. Participants of the camp must bring a shirt, football cleats (rubber soles), shorts or sweat bottoms. “The camp is fun, skill based and we’ll also have a
Bats out for softball Brighton High School offers two camps By Michelle Boyer
Mkboyer8@gmail.com For the fourth straight summer, the Lady Bulldogs softball program will host two camps on Aug. 4-6 for 9- to 13-year-olds and on Aug. 7-9 for 14- to 16-year-olds. Both camps will be 4:306:30 p.m. at the Brighton High School softball fields. “Our camp is to primarily introduce our coaching staff and the Brighton program to the younger kids,” BHS softball Coach Bob Gonzales said. “We also give them a chance to work on their skills and get good coaching from great coaches.” He said one camp is for the younger players and one for the older ones. “Our camps are run in the same manner just the skill set of the age difference makes for two camps,” he said. “Many of the younger kids will be coming to Brighton, and it’s a great way for them to meet the staff, we also have kids from all around areas able to participate too. It’s open to everyone.”
Gonzales said that each day will be power packed with offensive skills, defensive skills, proper throwing mechanics, sliding, pitching, bunting and hitting taught by highly qualified instructors. Some upper classmen will help with the camp, along with qualified coaches. “The camp has grown every year,” he said. “Last year we had about 56 young ladies attend. This is a way we can reach out to the community, and they can see we care at an early age about their kids. Holding camps, for me is great for our program. The kids know we care, and the parents understand the staff cares about the kids.” Gonzales said all Brighton High School softball players are strongly urged to attend, and players from other youth clubs are welcome as well. Each player should bring their own softball equipment: bat, glove, cleats, helmet, water and sunscreen. “The BHS coaching staff is encouraged and excited for the 2014 season,” he said. “Our summer camp is an opportunity to build the future of BHS softball.” Cost for each of the three-day camps is $30, which is to be paid on the first day.
small punt, pass and kick competition in every age group,” Sandoval said. “The prizes are books. We try to connect how important school is, and how academics are very important in life.” The last day of the camp kids will receive a T-shirt along with a Popsicle. “It’s a great time for everyone around,” he said. “This is probably my favorite camp out of all the camps I’ve been involved with.” This summer the Brighton High School football program has planned four camps with the Brighton Youth Association Football League: Hogs and Dogs, QB1, tackling camp and the bull-pup camp. The cost of the Bull-pup camp is $25 and parents are able to register their child on the first day of the camp. Checks are made payable to the Brighton Youth Association Football League.
Summer tennis season ends on high note Vast number of CARA tennis players compete in state tournament By Michelle Boyer Mkboyer8@gmail.com Brighton’s own Colorado Association of Recreational Athletics tennis program saw 48 of its total 63 youth play in the state tournament. Out of the 48 state qualifiers, 16 of those won enough of their tennis matches to qualify for the final rounds held Friday. “Our kids were competing against players from cities such as Longmont, Louisville, Thornton, Boulder, Superior, Golden, Loveland, Broomfield, SouthSuburban and Arvada,” David Evangelista said. State champions were Alice West (10-and-under), Indigo Muniz-Schultz and Timothy Hayashi (18U Doubles) and Collena Schmer (18U). Runner up:
Katherine Hernandez (18U), Victoria Carter (14U) and Tyler Frankish and Evan Cochran (18U Doubles). “This year was a very successful one for our program,” he said. “We had a large number of our kids participate in state, all who represented Brighton very well throughout the week. I was very proud of the effort all our kids showed throughout state competition, and it was also quite rewarding to see Brighton students win state and take home some trophies.” Evangelista said during the off-season he’d like to play some tennis himself. “It’s been difficult to spend so much time around the sport without playing myself,” he said. When asked what he would say to his CARA tennis students, he said his hope was for them was to continue with tennis. “Although the season is over, it doesn’t mean you can’t play tennis anymore,” he said. “Tennis is a great sport, and one can continue to enjoy it long after finishing CARA.”

Broncos no longer Super Bowl favorites
e
Most everyone in Colorado and many in the Rocky Mountain region believe the Denver Broncos are on the cusp of winning a Super Bowl. But as the 2014 NFL season approaches it is interesting to hear what others around the country think about Denver’s Super Bowl chances this season. While the Broncos were the majority pick to win a world championship of analysts and experts going into last season, this season is different. Despite the Broncos spending $120 million in free agency during the offseason to upgrade their defense, nationally they are not getting the same kind of love that they did last season. Perhaps the fact that no team in NFL history has ever lost a Super Bowl and then went on to go back and win it the next year is in play. Or perhaps the very ugly way that 43-8 game played out has scared folks away
from picking the Broncos again. Example: “Sports Illustrated’s” Peter King has Denver as the No. 6 ranked team going into this season. His reason: “Having a hard time getting That Game out of my head.” King is right, the Super Bowl was an absolute disaster of epic proportions. But the Broncos also beat themselves in that game. It will be interesting to see what plays out when the two teams meet again early in the regular season. ProFootballTalk.com has the Broncos ranked No. 3 going into the season, but
they don’t necessarily love Denver’s chances either saying: “Last year the Broncos’ most significant weakness was their pass defense, which is why the pass defense was the top priority in free agency. Can DeMarcus Ware, Aqib Talib and T.J. Ward turn that pass defense into a strength?” That is a good question. But you have to give credit for the team addressing its defensive issues and besides adding several new starts through free agency, they also added cornerback Bradley Roby with its first round draft pick. Moreover, when it is all said and done the Broncos could have five new starters on their defense. However, others still like Denver’s chances this season, such as CBSSports. com senior writer Pete Prisco. Prisco picked the Broncos as his No. 2 team going into 2014 saying: “They have added a lot of good players, but are also getting back some of the injured ones from last season
— Ryan Clady, Von Miller and Chris Harris among them.” And Prisco has a good point. Peyton Manning was so good last season that he covered up a lot of holes that were made from a lot of missing injured players. And while the Broncos were still good enough to make a run to the Super Bowl all of those missing players caught up with Denver. In addition, Las Vegas still loves the Broncos, who along with the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks remain a 5-1 favorite to win it all in 2014. While the Broncos window to win it all may be closing, John Elway still has it propped open and whether they get it done in 2014 or not, the team did a ton this offseason to try and close the gap that was 43-8. Perhaps the experts not picking the Broncos in 2014 is exactly what this team needs.

Radio host broadcasts show from Eagle View Crandall hosts the Breakfast club radio program By Lou Ellen Bromley Radio host Rick Crandall form KEZW AM radio entertained visitors at the Eagle View Adult Center July 23 by broadcasting live his morning radio show “The Breakfast Club.”
Crandall and his broadcast crew were welcomed to Brighton by Mayor Dick McLean and Eagle View director Sue Corbett. Sue had contacted Crandall about six months ago to ask about coming to Eagle View to give a talk to visitors about his radio show. He surprised her by volunteering to broadcast his show live from Eagle View. Crandall spoke about a time — 13 months ago — when he was involved in helping transport sections of the Vietnam War Memorial to be displayed in Denver, and it passed through Brighton. He said as the transport
entered Brighton city limits he noticed the Brighton Police force parked along the route. The police officers all stood at attention and saluted as the memorial passed by. He said the gesture of respect by Brighton Police left a lasting impression on him. Crandall said the broadcasting from the Eagle View Adult Center has been a lot of fun and there was a great turnout to watch his show.
