Designers to reveal retail area’s future Open house set on plans for Entertainment District By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The design team charged with studying Lone Tree’s Entertainment District will reveal its vision for the area’s future during a July 25 community open house. Residents and business owners are invited to drop in between 4 and 7 p.m. at the district’s Bridge Centers building, home to Panera Bread, to take a peek at the plans. A brief presentation is planned at 6 p.m. The district, off Yosemite Street and Park Meadows Drive, was developed under the county and later annexed into Lone Tree. City officials long have hoped to improve access into the center, traffic and pedestrian flow through it and its overall appear-

ance. The center includes the United Artists theater, Mimi’s Cafe, the Brunswick Zone and Sky Venture Colorado, among others. In April, the city hired consulting team 505 Design in May to create a proposal that ideally will drive more traffic to the center. Consultants have since met with residents, tenants, customers and business owners. Although 505 Design’s managing principal John Ward wouldn’t talk specifics, his enthusiasm about the plan is clear. “I think it’s very exciting,” he said. “We did a lot of public outreach (and) there’s a real consistency in that community about what they’re looking for and how they think about things. So it leads us to a pretty unified answer.” The brightly colored Mellow Mushroom, the district’s newest and one of its most visible tenants, helps set the stage for change, he said.

Sterling Ranch again garners county’s OK

Pickleball makes quite a

racket

Plans call for breaking ground on development later this year Pickleball players bump paddles at the end of a July 12 game at the Lone Tree Recreation Center. Pickleball, a game similar to tennis, is played on a court with the same dimensions as a doubles badminton court. The net is similar to a tennis net, but is mounted two inches lower.

Beverly Carr of Castle Rock takes her game of pickleball seriously. Carr is one of several regulars who play at the drop-in pickleball sessions at the Lone Tree Recreation Center. The game began in Washington state in 1965 when a badminton shuttlecock was misplaced, and the sport was named after inventor Joel Pritchard’s dog Pickles.

Hybrid sport takes root in south metro area By Anna Sutterer

Special to Colorado Community Media

fast-growing sport combining elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong, pickleball has swept across America and made its way to south metro Denver.

Pickleball players use small paddles, similar to those used in ping-pong, and a plastic wiffle-like ball. Wooden paddles are typically used by beginning players. More advanced players opt to use rackets made of more lightweight materials, such as composites or graphite.

South Suburban Parks and Recreation embraced the trend last November at its Sheridan center and expanded it to the Lone Tree location last month. The Buck and Goodson recreation centers, in Littleton and Centennial respectively, are also exploring adding the hybrid sport, if enough interest is expressed. While the game is new to many, its roots date back decades. Named after founder Joel Pritchard’s dog Pickles, the game began on Bainbridge Island, Wash., in 1965 when Pritchard and Bill Bell misplaced the shuttlecock to their badminton set and had to improvise a new form of entertainment using the pooch’s perforated plastic ball. Pickleball is most commonly a doubles Picketball continues on Page 12

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com The Sterling Ranch planned development has been unanimously approved for the second time in three years by the Douglas County commissioners. With the July 10 approval, the project — which calls for a 12,000-home community located on 3,400 acres northeast of Roxborough State Park and south of the Chatfield Community Association — hopes to break ground by the end of 2013. “After six-plus years of hearings, I’m thrilled,” said Harold Smethills, Sterling Ranch managing director. “Everybody’s been heard and the commissioners made their decision. So now it’s onward to building homes, and we’re ready to go.” The development, which will remain 37 percent open space, has plans for 30 miles of trails, multiple parks and wildlife corridors, a multi-field athletic complex, a hospital, fire services, schools, and a town center patterned after Littleton’s historic downtown. “This development sets an example for future developments to come down the road,” said Sterling Ranch attorney Gil McNeish, citing mitigation plans, open space preservation and water conservation techniques, such as rainwater harvesting, that are all part of the development’s master plan. About a dozen opponents, who were either Chatfield or Roxborough residents, spoke out against the project at the 4½hour hearing. Most spoke against the detriment the project would have on their rural way of life, and expressed concerns over the development having enough water secured to move forward. “I think that the Board of County Commissioners has a fiduciary duty to the citizens of Douglas County and not the developers,” said Dennis Larratt, speaking on behalf of the Chatfield Community Association. “Yet in this case it looks like the Ranch continues on Page 20

Teachers get tech lesson at ‘Geek Camp’ DCSD personnel attend four-day session at charter By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ ourcoloradonews.com Kids always seem to be on the cutting edge of technology. The Douglas County School District is making sure its teachers aren’t left behind. The number of technological advancements in the classroom over the last decade is astounding. The advent of interactive class lessons and online homework assignments has teachers receiving continuing education on the latest gadgets and apps being incorporated into the classroom. An annual “Geek Camp” run by the Douglas County School District equips teachers with the tools and know-how needed to guide the next generation into the future. Brandon Petersen, a technology teacher at Sand Creek Elementary School in Highlands Ranch, says in many cases, it’s best for teachers to “let the kids take control of their own learning,” which he admits is a “huge flip” in conventional

During times when teachers are fumbling with a new device, “the kids say, `hand it over,’” he says. Petersen is among those who collaborate with instructors in the classroom. He has become “Mr. Technology,” trouble-shooting when needed at Sand Creek. But the idea behind Geek Camp is to help teachers become self-sufficient when new technologies are introduced. This summer’s Geek Camp, a series of lessons July 8-12 at Challenge to Excellence Charter School in Parker, enabled teachers

to explore a “digital playground,” a room brimming with devices from different companies. They also had guided practices and “campfire” sessions, small group discussions that allow teachers to share what they already know with each other. “They’re in here using learning-environment language,” said Kim McMonagle, the school district’s director of educational technology. The teachers are encouraged to share what they have learned on the “mountaintop,” or private forums specifically designed for

them to teach others, creating an exponential learning experience for those involved, she said. McMonagle keeps up on the constantly changing world of classroom technologies through conferences and monthly group gatherings with education professionals from throughout Colorado. Petersen says when he started with the DCSD less than 10 years ago, teachers and students followed an unofficial “bring your own device” rule, or BYOD. These days, there is a push for “one-to-one,” or one electronic device per student. Sue McTigue, a music teacher at Soaring Hawk Elementary School, led a Geek Camp lesson on how to use technology in a musical setting. She plans to use Edmodo, Smart Boards and White Boards for inclass and at-home learning. For example, students can watch tutorials on how to play a specific song and then use Garage Band software to submit recordings directly to her. Geek Camp helps teachers earn professional growth incentives and meet re-licensure requirements.

sport, played on a court similar to tennis but with one-third the area to cover, and even smaller when played as singles. Players wield wooden or composite paddles, just shorter than a tennis racket, as they swing with precision at a wiffle-like ball and shuffle in all directions across the court. Don’t be fooled by the cutesy name and adorable story. Though there may not be much room to run about and the lighter ball generally flies with less fervor than in tennis, the game holds real excitement for those who play it. According to the USA Pickleball Association, there are more than 100,000 active players in America. In especially competitive pickleball areas, a special court on one’s property is very common — akin to a basketball hoop in the driveway. Attendance at Sheridan’s program has been increasing and is becoming more consistent since its opening, according to facility supervisor Eddie Kanoza. There are no lessons offered, but a few regulars, including Kanoza, are available to help beginners at the

“It’s part of the vibrancy that area really needs to have,” Ward said. “I think it fits in very well with the vision of where that area needs to go. The more differentiation (there is) that appeals to different groups of people, the more vibrancy that area will have.” Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Millet agreed, saying the Entertainment District’s location gives the city more design leeway than in other parts of Lone Tree.

drop-in gym time from 10 a.m. to noon on Mondays and Wednesdays. The Lone Tree Recreation Center runs a similar operation from 3 to 6 p.m. on Sundays and 1 to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Four of the center’s pickleball connoisseurs are BJ Pell, Tad Deutsch and Darryl and Ann Shaw. They’ve taken it upon themselves to manage the advancement of the program and help newcomers get involved. “We’re just trying to bring anybody new in who wants to come and we start teaching them some stuff. We’re not real teachers but we’ve played. Hopefully we can bring them to the next level,” Pell said. Fortunately for the amateur coaches, pickleball proves to be a pretty simple sport to learn with the right experience. “It seems like anyone with a racquetball or any kind of paddle-sport background catches on pretty fast,” Darryl Shaw said. According to Pell, the Lone Tree location attracts many ex-tennis players who are looking for another way to stay active within their previously acquired skill sets. The Shaws, Pell and Deutsch are also involved with the well-established “Parker Picklers” of the Parker

community, and hope to use the connection in bringing Lone Tree up to a similar level of play and growth. Outdoor courts with an earlier time slot for playing, as well as upcoming clinics to enhance skills, are some of the features players like Darryl Shaw would prefer. The Lone Tree program is still quite fresh, so adjustments are being considered. According to Deutsch, the possibility of outdoor courts has been discussed, and with that change an earlier time frame could be added to account for the heat. Cost is a factor, however. The smaller area of a pickleball surface opposed to a tennis court is more efficient, but being outdoors still renders the space useless through Colorado’s long and unpredictable winters. Regarding the implementation of clinics and coaching in the area, there is a chance some experienced players from surrounding areas would be available to help. “We’ve got some people who have taught over in Parker and Aurora that may come over and do some clinics. We just need to get a gauge of how many people would be interested to have somebody come and teach some skills,” Pell said.

“This building up in RidgeGate probably wouldn’t fly,” she said of the Mellow Mushroom. “This building in the Safeway center wouldn’t fly. This building in the entertainment district? It fits with the character of the buildings that are there. “It certainly is a departure from a traditional Lone Tree color palette. But if all you could do is pick from three colors, we would have a pretty generic community. We’re here to be critical thinkers, not to just check a box `yes’ or `no.’” Millet said the city plans to work with business owners in the Entertainment District to revamp the area.

“This is new Lone Tree City Council thinking,” she said. “If you’re willing to help yourself, we’re willing to help you, and it’ll be better for everybody. We’ve been very successful as a community when we operate that way.” Lone Tree’s $100,000 contract with 505 Design is a two-phased plan that also calls for the firm to come up with financing recommendations for the potential project. Anyone unable to attend the meeting who has questions or comments about the project can call or email Jennifer Drybread at 303-708-1818, jennifer.drybread@cityoflonetree.com.

Redwood City, California How long have you lived in the area? Since 1997 What do you like most about it? I like the Denver metro area for its city life, suburbs, schools, open space, walking & biking trails, and great infrastructure. I like living close to downtown and to mountain communities. I appreciate Denver’s blue sky, four-season climate and active lifestyle. Denver offers a great quality of life.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? I specialize in listing and selling real estate all over the south Denver metro area. My clients appreciate my knowledge and expertise, work ethic, commitment to helping them achieve their real estate goals, and professionalism. What is the most challenging part of what you do? Balancing work and family life is the most challenging part of my job.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I have two daughters (one in college, one in high school) that keep me busy. I spend lots of time being a spectator at my younger daughter’s volleyball games. I love to exercise every day, belong to a great gym but also enjoy biking and walking outdoors. I also enjoy visiting various mountain communities several times a year with my family. What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house?

I like helping my clients with those decisions, and take pride that my listings look great when they hit the market. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? rep Before looking at homes, get prequalified by a reputable lender. Put some thought into what features you want in a home and where you would like to live. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? The most unusual encounter I’ve ever had was with a guest at an Open house that I hosted. He took it upon himself to “forage” through the kitchen cabinets and closets looking for prescrip prescription medication. It was very unsettling to have that occur during an Open House, and to have to explain it to my Sellers.

The thicker walls in our high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insulaƟon than in a convenƟonal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we get 2½ Ɵmes MORE insulaƟon in the aƫc. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill!

Job hunting for the over 50 T hough the job market has improved in recent years, many men and women are still out of work. Perhaps most troubling, many of those people are age 55 and older who are fearful of an uncertain future where they are seemingly overlooked. According to a 2012 study from the Government Accountability Office, the number of long-term unemployed people age 55 and older has more than doubled since the onset of the recession. For many unemployed over the age of 50, the harsh reality of a job market that does not value their experience or skill set is deeply disconcerting. But as difficult as the job market can be for older men and women, it’s not impossible to find a job, though it might take some ingenuity and perseverance. Don’t limit yourself. Those who were victimized by layoffs should expand their job searches to more than just their previous fields. While it’s definitely a good idea to maintain contacts in your old field and routinely look for openings in that field, it’s also a good idea to examine your skill set and experience and find a new field where these things apply. Chances are your years of experience are transferable to many fields, and redirecting your job hunting efforts to a new line of work might yield opportunities you are not even aware existed. Embrace the 21st century. Many companies or organizations mistakenly assume that the digital age has passed older workers by. Workers in their 50s might be unfairly categorized as dinosaurs with no grasp of mobile technology or the latest software programs. But those applicants who can demonstrate their proficien-

cy in the latest technologies, including mobile technologies like smartphones, tablets and social media, can put themselves above fellow applicants. Start working. If you are mired in long-term unemployment and spend every day at home, get out and start working. Volunteering is a great way to lift your spirits, network with other professionals and maybe even learn of employment opportunities you won’t hear about on the couch at home. And volunteering, be it with a charity or a professional organization, is a great way to revive your resume and continue to add accomplishments despite your unemployment. Emphasize your age. Many unemployed men and women over 50 tend to look at their age as a hindrance that is preventing them from finding gainful employment. But your age can be an advantage, as many organizations find older applicants are more reliable and need less time to adapt than younger applicants with less experience. When emphasizing your age as a positive, don’t focus on job titles, which many other unemployed men and women your age likely highlight on their resumes. Instead, focus on specific achievements and accomplishments and reduce the emphasis you place on job tasks. Achievements tend to stand out above titles, and men and women over 50 likely have achieved more than younger, less experienced applicants. Think small. Smaller companies wherein employees tend to wear many hats are more likely to value experience than a larger company. By the age of 50, many professionals have vast experi-

CARRIERS WANTED NORTH AND SOUTH METRO ROUTES AVAILABLE

ence in a host of different positions, and that versatility is likely to appeal to a small company looking for employees who can multitask. Finding a job after the age of 50 isn’t easy. But taking a broad approach and emphasizing as opposed to downplaying your experience might help you stand out among a crowded pool of applicants. ■ Metro Creative Services

board is considering the requests of developers over the vocal concerns of many concerned and existing citizens.” Attorney David Foster, who was also representing Sterling Ranch, said it was important to remember that a number of people had come before the board previously to voice their support of the project. Those people were asked not to testify on July 10, he said, as this hearing dealt with specific legal issues, primarily in terms of the development’s appeal on whether water supply standards were being met. The county initially approved the project in 2011, but in 2012, 18th Judicial District Judge Paul King overturned that ruling, stating that in accordance with state law the project did not have sufficient water secured to move forward. The county then appealed the district court ruling, stating that King had misinterpreted the law and that all that was necessary was that the development proves it has enough water to go ahead with the initial phase of the project. With the appeal still pending, the passage of Colorado Senate Bill 258 this May gave clarification to that law, agreeing with Sterling Ranch’s interpretation. Because of that, the developers requested a hearing with the commissioners, asking them to take a second look at their application. Due to the passage of SB-258, Sterling Ranch did not even bring into play on July 10 the fact that its water provider, Dominion Water and Sanitation District, had since King’s ruling secured enough water to satisfy the entire project, as part of the

WISE (Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency) Partnership’s agreement with Denver and Aurora Water. Still, the opposition was left upset, and Larratt pointed out that their battle may not be over and that the Chatfield group may contest other issues in addition to water in court. “There are more reasons not to approve this project,” he said. “In the … appeal put forth before, there were many different elements of arguments. The district court chose to determine on only one item. All of those other elements are still live and can be brought back. Be prepared that those are still valid.” Smethills said he fully expects another challenge from the Chatfield group, but that is up to his attorneys to handle. In the meantime, he said, they are ready to finally move forward and he feels that day has arrived. “Today was all about new information,” said Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella. “The board of county commissioners heard the application and made a ruling in May 2011. ... The only new information I heard today is the new (regulation) and the clarification on the statute, which is consistent with the interpretation the Board of County Commissioners made on the original approval.” “A lot of information was brought back that we actually heard at the previous hearing,” said Commissioner Jack Hilbert. “Rehashing that information that we had already made a decision on isn’t going to garner us any new information because that already has been vetted. I was looking for that new information but it wasn’t there.” The development expects, once it reaches build-out, to have an annual economic windfall of $400 million.

Fed taper may be painful cold turkey Most investors are opening their June statements about now and wondering what happened. Surely there must be a mistake. Everything was looking pretty good at the end of the first quarter and then we had a realization: Someday the Federal Reserve Board will start to taper off on their monthly bond purchase program, which is pumping money into the economy. This awareness pushed markets into an unusual phenomenon, when asset classes behave as one. Stocks went down, bonds went down, gold went down and there was no benefit in the month of June for diversification. While this happens rarely, it is still painful. It feels like going cold turkey after a prolonged addiction. The concerns are understandable. Those in favor of continued Quantitative Easing do not feel the U.S. economy is strong enough to sustain positive growth without continued stimulus. This could lead to an economic downturn, deflation or even recession.

Those in favor of turning off the flow of money from the Fed are concerned we don’t have a true economic environment with the false stimulus. This makes it difficult to determine real valuations and runs the risk of future inflation if the money supply continues to expand artificially. The very slow measured growth since the last recession has put us in this position. The low GDP number announced for the fourth revision of the first quarter was under 2 percent. It is hard to feel very positive about an economy that is only producing 1.8 percent output more than four

years after recession. Normally by now we would have enough momentum to carry us through the rest of the business cycle. The very slow growth and stubborn unemployment cause us to question the stability of the economy once the Fed stimulus is removed. Investors would like to know how to allocate investments for the future. It is difficult to understand when to buy, sell or what to hold when everything goes down just on a rumor. It is ironic that the markets had such a significant negative reaction to no news. Fed Chairman Bernanke did not say he would taper, in fact he said virtually nothing new at all. Perhaps the calendar is ticking by and most logical people understand this can’t continue much longer. Therefore, you might want to ask, “Are we willing to suffer some short-term losses in order to get the economy back on track? What will it take to get off the Fed and learn how to swim on our own?” Stay tuned … there is more to play out

here. The new more transparent Fed has indicated many times, there won’t be a reason to taper QE3 until we see unemployment around 6.5 percent and inflation closer to 2 percent. The current prediction is that it will be 2014 before we see significant changes. Meanwhile, as if a light switch turned on, July numbers are looking much better. This further confirms why it is impossible to guess where markets will be and why a well-balanced strategy is important to keep you focused on your goals.

Old latex paint? Don’t flip out! Dry it out! Have you been stockpiling cans of latex paint, waiting for the next Douglas County Household Chemical Roundup? Good news – latex paint is water-based and safe to throw away, if prepared properly. If the paint is completely dry, simply remove the lid and throw the can away. If there is still wet paint in the can, mix in some dirt or cat litter to fully absorb it. Once it is dry, throw it away. Save yourself a trip to the Roundup (and the $25 contribution) if you have water-based paint. Remember, this only applies to water-based latex paint, and NO paint can be dumped in the gutter or thrown in the trash wet. Make a difference in keeping our waterways clean by practicing cost-effective ways to dispose of materials properly. Local stormwater agencies are teaming together to bring you this message. We take this so seriously that we posted this ad rather than send you more garbage in the mail. One thing is clear: our creeks, rivers and lakes depend on you.

The Blue Bonnet moves into middle age

Rothko’s 1940s works on display Denver show sheds light on changing artist By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com His luminous Color Field paintings of the 1950s and 1960s have given Mark Rothko a pre-eminent place among contemporary American painters, but he was active in the 1940s, creating works that ranged from figurative to Jungian myth, surrealism, abstraction … Early images include stories from classical mythology and others inspired by European surrealists and cubists, which led to linear abstract forms, soft colored shapes and finally “Untitled” in 1950, with bands of color — his distinctive style for the remainder of his life. His son, Christopher Rothko, works with his sister Kate Rothko Prizel to advance their father’s legacy. He said: “The 1940s is the decade when everything happens for my father. He enters the decade and he comes out the other end the Rothko we know.” The Denver Art Museum has opened an exhibit called “Figure to Field: Mark Rothko in the 1940s,” running through Sept. 29, which has 28 works, primarily from the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Many have not been displayed in 20 years and illustrate Rothko’s journey as an artist.

if you go “Figure to Field: Mark Rothko in the 1940s” is in the Gallagher Family Gallery on the first floor of the Hamilton Building, Denver Art Museum, 12th Avenue between Broadway and Bannock Streets. It is included in general admission, free for members, and runs through Sept. 29. For hours and information: denverartmuseum.org, 720-913-0130. Also included are 11 works by his contemporaries, including Robert Motherwell, Clyfford Still, Milton Avery, Adolph Gottleib, Arshile Gorky and Jackson Pollock. These artists exchanged ideas and influenced and supported each other. Paintings are hung chronologically with well-written wall text that discusses Rothko’s early years. Born in Russia, Rothko lived in New York in the 1940s, was acquainted with European artists who had escaped from World War II to America and became active with the group of artists who were known as Abstract Expressionists. A copy of the famous Life magazine photo of that group is included in this show. Representational images no longer worked to represent the war, although he is quoted as saying of the figurative paintings, “I think of my pictures as dramas, the shapes in the pictures are performers ….” “I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstacy, doom and so on,” he is quoted in a New York Times

story. By 1947, he eliminated all surrealistic elements and worked with pure form. The back portion of the Gallagher Gallery is devoted to early Color Field Paintings, with oil washes, egg-based paints, stains, some drips left as they happened. “If I must put my trust somewhere, it would be in the psyche of sensitive observers,” he said. His spiritual qualities are especially expressed in the Rothko Chapel in Houston, but all paintings held symbolic meaning for him. He met Clyfford Still, whose works are housed in the next-door Clyfford Still Museum, and they were close friends for 10 years. He introduced Still to collector/gallery owner Peggy Guggenheim, who gave Still a major show before he withdrew from the New York art world. Readers may have had the opportunity to see the excellent play “Red” at Curious Theatre last year, which conveyed the artist’s intensity as he worked on his famous series of red canvases. It portrayed a conflicted man, uncomfortable in his world. (He committed suicide in 1970.) This exhibit was organized by four museums, which each provided particular expertise and will each exhibit the Rothko works: Arkansas Art Center, Columbia, S.C., Art Museum, Columbus Art Museum and Denver Art Museum—in conjunction with the National Gallery of Art, which holds the world’s largest collection of Rothko’s work.

The Blue Bonnet Cafe & Lounge on South Broadway is celebrating its 45th year of the Mobell family ownership this month with steals of deals for diners. It’s been 45 years since Arlene and Phil Mobell purchased the long-standing restaurant at 475 S. Broadway, and the popular Mexican eatery has evolved under current owners, the brother and sister team of Gary and Marci Mobell. Many of the Blue Bonnet’s staff have logged three decades with the restaurant. “My sister Marci and I visit with the tables each and every lunch and dinner that we are here, seven days a week,” Gary said. “We love the interaction with the customers and (value) their opinions. My mom was known for this and we carry on her tradition as she calls daily to check in.” To celebrate the 45th anniversary, the Mobells are offering customers 45-cent bottomless chips and salsa, two happy hour tacos, two happy hour lettuce wraps or Blue Bonnet signature bottled hot sauce for $4.50 each. Happy hour is from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 9 p.m. to close Monday through Saturday. For more information, visit www.bluebonnetrestaurant. com.

Stage-struck detective is a winner Clever musical ‘Curtains’ plays at Arvada Center

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Curtains” is a light, clever musical, perfect fare for a summer evening at the Arvada Center. It was written by Rupert Holmes, with music and lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb, who wrote “Cabaret” and “Chicago” — not quite the depth of either, but entertaining. As always at this Equity theater, the cast is skilled and production values of set, lighting, sound, costumes are well above average. Set in Boston’s Colonial Theater in 1957, the musical opened in Los Angeles first and then moved to Broadway with David Hyde Pierce in the lead. He won a Tony for his role as the stagestruck cop. Gavin Mayer directs this spoofy piece about murder backstage, play within a play, somewhat convoluted storyline. Lights go up on the opening night production of “Robbin’ Hood,” a Western version of the ancient story. Just as the curtain falls, the off-key leading lady keels over. Cast and crew are glad to be rid of her, but what next?

Georgia Hendricks (Lauren Shealy) and Aaron Fox (Jeffrey Roark) are two of the suspects in a Broadway murder mystery in “Curtains” at the Arvada Center. Courtesy photo Lt. Frank Cioffi (Jim Poulos) appears to say that Jessica Cranshaw has been murdered and he’s there to investigate. Turns out, he also has acted in community theater and has a weakness for musicals. So as the show progresses, he alternates between

solving the crime and subsequent murders and making quiet suggestions to improve the shaky “Robbin’ Hood.” And, of course, there’s a romance as he becomes smitten with understudy actress Niki Harris — and really hopes she’s not the

murderer. Colin Alexander almost overplays swishy director Christopher Belling, who decides to replace the late Cranshaw with Georgia Hendricks (Lauren Shealy), divorced from songwriter Aaron Fox (Jeffrey Roark). They manage to get together again, despite her fling with leading man Bobby Pepper … And then we have brassy producer Carmen Bernstein (the great Megan Van De Hay) whose adversarial relationship with sleazy husband Sidney (Mark Rubald) leads to his demise. Numerous other characters weave in and out, dancing as they go with Kitty Skillman Hillsabeck’s choreography. The initial murder is finally solved and there are two more during the evening, adding to the confusion. But never fear—all ends well. And despite the murders, it’s quite a delightful concoction. And guess who show up in the finale?

Bravo for Jasinski

I told you earlier that Jennifer Jasinski, chef-owner of Rioja, Bistro Vendome and Euclid Hall, would be competing in Bravo’s “Top Chef Masters 5” along with Richard Sandoval, the restaurant mogul who oversees operations in Colorado at Tamayo, Zengo, Al Lado and La Sandias as well as Maya in the Westin in Avon. Bravo just announced that viewers will be invited and encouraged to vote weekly for their favorite chef team at www.bravotv.

com or by text message to determine which team receives a donation to its designated charity. The total amount that Bravo will donate over the course of the campaign, from July 24 through Sept. 25, will be divided into various amounts each week as designated by the television network. To vote, tune in to “Top Chef Masters” and follow the on-air instructions. As chef teams are eliminated from the “Top Chef Masters” competition, they will no longer be eligible to compete in the campaign. Jasinski has chosen Work Options for Women, a wonderful organization that teaches underprivileged women hospitality industry skills, as her designated charity. WOW is holding a premiere party from 7 to 10 p.m. on July 24 at Kuni Lexus Greenwood Village, 5150 S. Quebec. Donations are welcome. RSVP at www.topchefmasterspremierparty-es2.eventbrite.com.

Drivers have bond with track family Bandimeres inspire loyalty among drag-race crowd

34th annual mopar mile high nationals What: Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle drag racing When: July 19-21 Where: Bandimere Speedway, 3051 S. Rooney Road, Morrison (off Morrison Road and C-470) Tickets and information: bandimere.com

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Ask most drivers competing in the Mopar Mile High Nationals about coming to Bandimere Speedway, and the comments start with changes that have to be made to the cars because of the elevation. However, most of the remarks eventually mention the Bandimere family, which has owned the track for 55 years. “For starters, we just love the Bandimere family,” said Pro Stock driver Jeg Coughlin, who has formed a two-car team with Allen Johnson and Mopar this season. “First and foremost, the Bandimere family has owned and operated the facility for over 50 years and they have always done a fantastic job, not only for the racers but fans. “The facility is first rate and the only facility on the tour that has a radiant cooling system integrated with the starting line system to keep the temperatures down on the starting line at the surface. That was a big investment the Bandimeres made. When we are here in July and it is 100 degrees and the track gets to 150 degrees, now they are able to moderate that.” Coughlin admits that Bandimere’s beauty offsets the work on changes to the car that have to be

Pro Stock cars pull into the staging lanes at last year’s Mopar Mile HIgh Nationals at Bandimere Speedway. This year’s Mile HIgh Nationals will be held at the track in Morrison starting on July 19. File photo made because the track is 5,800 feet above sea level. “We have to make a lot of changes to come to Bandimere,” he said. “I can quickly tell you we don’t change the driver or the paint on the outside of the car. Everything else we manipulate. The mountain here in unbeliev-

able. Just looking around, you do a 360 on your feet. I’d be lying to say we don’t sneak out once every winter to visit Vail. We really enjoy the area.” John Force, a 15-time Funny Car champion, has been a regular at the Mile High Nationals. “First time I came over that

mountain it was snowing,” said Force. “I knew without a race I wouldn’t have any money to pay the hotel rooms. Now that’s changed. I remember being there with my dad, he’s passed now, and John Bandimere, he was a kid like me. His and my dad sat on the hill and talked about their two crazy

kids, one trying to run a racetrack, one trying to drive a race car. Neither one of us had a clue. I would look at my daughters, playing on the side of the hill in the dirt, running around there, playing at the racetrack. “There were bad times when I crashed, there are good times when I won. I love going back. It’s a beautiful facility. The fans open their arms to us. The media is great. It’s really a tough deal on that mountain. There was one year there I ran top speed, I was faster than the dragsters. That doesn’t happen very often. For a few moments we were up there with our big brother. It was a great feeling. A lot of those dragster guys were telling me that was pretty cool. Never done it since, but we keep trying. “ Pietro Gorlier, president and CEO of Mopar, lauded the Chrysler Group’s long relationship with Bandimere Speedway. “We are very proud of our longstanding relationship with the Bandimere family, their wonderful facility and the passionate fans Bond continues on Page 27

Speedway firmly rooted in Colorado soil Family business in 55th year of drag racing By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com John Bandimere Sr. built the Safety Proving Grounds of America in 1958 after he purchased 180 acres of land for $13,500. His plan was to provide a place for young men and women to drag-race and learn about automobiles. John Bandimere Sr. passed away in 1986, but his proving grounds, now named Bandimere Speedway, located along the Hogback near Morrison, is celebrating its 55th year of drag racing and will host its biggest event of the season, the Mopar Mile High Nationals, July 19-21. “I’m a Wheat Ridge kid,” said John Bandimere Jr. “I’m a Wheat Ridge Farmer. I graduated from high school in 1956. I raced on the street and so did a lot of kids. My dad wanted a place for us to be away from all the dangers. “I first came out after Dad bought the property and was moving dirt. Rooney Road was a dirt road. Actually Alameda wasn’t totally paved. The way you came in was off Colfax.” Bandimere Jr. took an active role in the track operations in the mid-1970s and tried to find a national event to host because the track was not making money. In 1977 the track, nicknamed Thunder Mountain, hosted the NHRA Sports Nationals and the next year the NHRA Mile High Nationals was the first race with professional categories to compete at Bandimere. “In 1987 the president of the NHRA at that time, Dallas Gardner, came to me after the event and said, ‘You need to do something because we can’t come back here,’” recalled Bandimere. “The reason was, we were putting 100 matches in a matchbox that maybe held 50. That sort of thing. “I said to Dallas, ‘I have one question. If

we spend the money and we bring this facility up to stature, will you give us a sabbatical where we could have a year off and then come back?’ He said, ‘Absolutely.’” Bandimere Speedway overcame financial difficulties and underwent a $4.2 million renovation in 1988. “Highway 470 started being built in September 1987,” said Bandimere. “So what happened, we needed to move a lot of dirt. We were on the side of a mountain and needed to flatten things out. I went to the (Jefferson) County and in those days got a permit for $15. They asked me what we were going to do and I said we had to move a little bit of dirt. They didn’t ask me how much. They wanted their $15. “They were building the highway and we were moving all this dirt. We moved almost 4 million yards of dirt. While we were moving all the dirt, the public thought the highway was being built.” The track renovation, however, was redflagged. “The day came when they were ready to dedicate the bridge on Morrison Road,” continued Bandimere. “They were all there with dignitaries and I’ve got tractors going up and down the hill. They came over that day and red-tagged it. I said we were moving some dirt and rebuilding our facility. I thought that was probably going to be the end of the rebuilding. “The county realized this was a needed thing and went along with us, took the red flags off and we had to meet a few rules. The track is in the exact same place. What we changed was all the parking, the pit area, building of the tower and the Eliminator Club.” After the track facelift, Mopar came on as the sponsor of the Mile High Nationals. “They have been our sponsor of this event from that day until now,” Bandimere said of the 25-year partnership with parts, service and customer care branches within Chyrsler Group LLC. “It’s been among the longest-running sponsorships in racing

that attend the Mopar Mile High NHRA Nationals every year,” said Gorlier. “Since 1989, this historic track has become our home away from home because of a common passion for this family-oriented sport, grassroots racing and commitment to sportsmen. Through thick and thin over the past 25 years, the Bandimere family, their track and this annual national NHRA event have become an integral and valued part of our Mopar racing tradition.” Gary Scelzi, nicknamed the Wild Thing, drove for 12 years on the NHRA circuit and will be this year’s grand marshal. He retired at the conclusion of the 2008 season driving a Mopar Hemi-powered Funny Car. He earned one win at Bandimere in 2006. “I’m humbled and excited to be asked by Mopar to serve as grand marshal and be part of such an amazing event once again,” rack,said Scelzi. Nei- “There are only a few NHRA nationals ouldthat have prestige and meaning and where g onwinning really means something extra sperun-cial.

around forever and is extremely difficult and challenging, but also because of the Bandimere family.’ Gary Scelzi, grand marshal eryone, from the fans to the competitors, feel at home. They think of everything and make you really feel like you are part of their family and their home. My history at Bandimere was actually quite horrible. I don’t think I made it out of the first round much, but I just loved coming here regardless. It was a huge challenge on track but it was always about family and fun and was always an event, a party everyone looked forward to. When I did finally win with Mopar in 2006, it just had so much meaning, and to be invited back to celebrate their 25 years with the Bandimere family is really exciting.”

hind the staging beams to 120 feet after it. The system reduces the track temperature between 15-20 degrees. A trans-lux scoreboard was installed in 2009 and a timing system with fiber optic lines has also been added to the track. “This is one of the only tracks that has a downhill for staging and an uphill to shutoff,” pointed out Bandimere. “That’s what my dad really, really wanted. There are a lot of tracks around the country that you have to go uphill to get to the staging. You have to start and stop and many times they get up there ready to make a run and their battery is dead because these cars don’t run generators. ” Bandimere, 75, admits he almost sold the track several years ago, when he considered joining a group that was pondering building a NASCAR track with a drag strip in Aurora. Several factors were involved in rejecting that project. More than 125 events a season, including the Mile High Nationals, are held at Bandimere Speedway each season to help keep the track profitable. Bandimere says 2008 set a standard for the track. “That particular year was the best year the facility has had,” he said. “Everything, the weather and events, worked out really

good that year. We’ve never been able to hit that same standard. We always kind of look at things and say, `How does it compare to 2008?’ “There are not many facilities in the country like this that make any money. The reason they don’t in most cases is that they are not willing to pay the price. We develop relationships. God has blessed us. We are not at 2008 this year, but we’re way ahead of last year. We’re happy with that.” Bandimere has future plans for the track his dad built. “I have no interest in leaving at this point,” he said. “We have a lot of things on our plate but what we really want to do is get water and sewer onto the property. For 55 years we’ve run this facility with porta-pots, and actually, with this type of race, even if we had water we would use a lot of port-a-lets. The reason is because it is so spread out. “I want to make changes. I want to build some new buildings. I want to build better concessions, hopefully by next year.” Two sessions of professional preliminaries of this year’s Mile High Nationals, set for 5:15 and 7:15 p.m., will be held July 19. Two more qualifying runs will be held at 1:45 and 4:45 p.m. July 20, with the final eliminations set to begin at 11 a.m. Sunday July 21. Defending Mile High pro winners are Antron Brown (Top Fuel), Jack Beckman (Funny Car), Allen Johnson (Pro Stock) and Eddie Krawiec (Pro Stock Motorcycle).
