‘E-470 Eagle’ dies two days after � rst � ight Eagle could not be saved a� er it got stuck in a muddy ditch By Tammy Kranz [email protected]

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 Rap-tor Education Foundation (REF), E-470 Pub-lic 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 ea-gle,” 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 shed-ding 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 vom-ited quite a bit of muddy water and other stomach contents.

Before she could be rushed to the veteri-narian, she died at approximately 2:50 p.m.

“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 traf-fic.

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 mo-torists of the eagle and provided safety ve-hicles 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 state-ment. “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 avail-able.

The foundation posted daily updates, photos and videos of the eagle on its Face-book page.

Posts included information on her move-ments, 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.

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 � rst � ight. Photo courtesy of the Raptor Education Foundation Facebook page

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, Fri-day 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 fam-ily 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 “Au-rora” from the fairy tale, “Sleep-ing Beauty.”

“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 down-town 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 incred-ible 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 corona-tion was incredible.

“It’s so fun to see her so seri-ous 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 week-end 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

Chambers strive to make connections Networking is not a lost art, business groups’ leaders say By Chris Rotar [email protected]

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 com-

merce 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 transpor-tation. Some might say, however, that what happened in the minutes before — the handshakes, the eye contact, the heaping helpings of conversation — is the main at-traction.

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. hashtagLakewood resident Ernie Witucki was

the CEO of chambers of commerce in Colo-rado, 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 af-ter, let’s say, 9 a.m. Once they get entrenched in their business, they try to protect their time.”

Enter technology.

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 fi rst place people go for answers,” she said. “Therefore, we have increased our on-line presence in an effort to meet our mem-bers’ needs.

“We are implementing new ways to en-gage our members through online com-munities, 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 In-ternet is an essential tool if chambers are to remain relevant.

“In that regard, we have put technology to good use, creating a website that enhanc-es our sense of community,” he said.

In addition to their own websites, cham-bers can use tools like Facebook and Meet-up.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.

“The chamber is important, but there are lots of other new groups,” said John Brack-ney, former longtime president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Com-merce. “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.”

Keeping it realDenver Botanic Gardens’ CEO Brian Vogt,

who preceded Brackney as chief of the South Metro Chamber, can testify to the benefi ts 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 In-ternet can be a handy alternative to attend-ing networking events in brick-and-mortar buildings. But to many, a primary benefi t 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 busi-ness 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 in-troduce people in the community? You can try to do it online, but to me, that isn’t long-lived.

“We create relationships.”

PART 3 OF 3 PART SERIES

Turnover at the top Sta� Report

The faces of chambers of commerce,

quite literally, are changing.At least four metro-area chambers have

had their top offi cial 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 every-

where,” said Dave Kilby, president and CEO of the Western Association of Chamber Ex-ecutives.

“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 retire-ment. There are a lot of CEO searches right now.”

Retirement is one reason. But also, cham-ber leaders commonly leave for a higher-paying 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 chang-es, there’s probably a different story,” he said. “There’s nothing in the water; it’s just a coin-cidence. You could go to a similar geography and fi nd something similar.”

Below is a look at some of the turnover in 2014:

Golden Chamber of CommerceWho left? Gary Wink (19 years)Resigned: January 2014New president/CEO: Dawn Smith

Metro North Chamber of CommerceWho left? Deborah Obermeyer (15 years)Resigned: May 2014Recruitment process in progress

Geared to the gardens By Michelle Boyer [email protected]

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 Universi-ty 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 in-formation 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 gar-dening.”

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 gar-dens at CSU, Washington Park, Hudson Gar-dens 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 festi-val.

“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 suc-cesses and failures. We get a lot of gardeners to-gether and come up with a lot of great things.”

The garden group is a nonprofi t organiza-tion.

“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 vari-ous 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 proj-ect.

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 gar-den club in making Brighton a more beautiful place to live.”

ADAMS COUNTY NEWS IN A HURRYDA Citizens Academy now registering

The District Attorney’s Office for Adams and Broomfield counties will host its second annual free Citizens Academy in September, offering the public an inside look into how the criminal justice system works.

Participants will learn how a homicide case unfolds, from the time a crime is committed through conviction and sen-tencing: How forensic experts analyze a crime scene and how the real work that prosecutors and investigators do is differ-ent than what is portrayed on TV and movies. The academy concludes with a mock trial with academy students serving as jurors.

The academy will be 6-9 p.m. Tuesday evenings Sept. 16 to Nov. 4. Applications are due by Aug. 29 and are available at adamsbroomfieldda.org. For more information, contact Public Information Officer Sue Lindsey at 303-835-5639 or [email protected].

Free barbecue draws strong turnoutBy Lou Ellen [email protected]

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 mu-sic provided by Dave Connolly.

Brighton residents could also choose to use this opportu-nity 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 ap-preciative guests.

There was a bounce house provided for the children’s en-tertainment and fire hats and balloons were passed out to children. Most of the city departments and several commu-nity groups had booths set up to provide information on their different programs or services. Each of the city council mem-bers 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 Brigh-ton has to offer as a community.

Brighton celebrated the grand opening July 16 of its newest King Soopers Marketplace, located at 50th Avenue and Bridge Street. The super King Soopers is more than double the size of its supermarket located at Fourth Avenue and Bromley Lane. The store includes a large aisle of natural foods, as well as clothing, some furniture and jewelry by Fred Meyer within the market. Photo by Michelle Boyer

NEW STORE OPENS4th Annual Ice Cream SocialLocal Brighton Business celebrating summer with free scoop of ice creamBy Lou Ellen [email protected]

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, ex-cept on select items. Their store is located at 1295 East Bridge Street in Brighton. There will be several vendors set up outside with addi-tional items for sale, weather permitting.

Lisa and Joe got started in the antique busi-ness 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 ga-rage sales. Often times the items they found in-side 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 dur-ing the hot part of the summer and is reminis-cent 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 neigh-bors and take a look around the store.

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 mul-ligan 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 cus-tomer says “no” to the offering or pro-posal, that “no” is only “no” for now, it is not a “no” forever. Early in my own sell-ing 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 busi-ness 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 oppor-tunity 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 ques-tions 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 prepara-tion. The mulligans in our lives have a much greater likelihood of reaching the green when we take the time to under-stand 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 accord-ingly 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 opportu-nities 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 sec-ond 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 main-taining a positive attitude of persever-ance. “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 [email protected]. And when we make the most of our second chances, it really will be a better than good 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’s a continuous sport, is easy on people and isn’t quite as strenuous as a lot of others are.”

Ken Adducci, 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 very social – people can talk with each other – and helps with reaction and agility.”

Hansen seeks re-election for District 3 Commissioner highlights progress made during his � rst term By Tammy Kranz [email protected]

While there have been many changes during his fi rst four years as a commission-er, Erik Hansen said there is more work to be done.

Hansen is running for a second term as the District 3 representative on the Ad-ams County Board of Com-missioners.

Some of the accomplish-ments during his time on the board, he said, include implementing a number

of ethical reforms, increasing transparency on the county’s website, reforming the county’s

purchasing policies and streamlining de-partment services.

“Those are signifi cant changes we made to how Adams County government func-tions,” 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 council-man in Thornton from 2001 to 2007.

When Hansen began his term, the coun-ty had been embroiled in the Quality Pav-ing scandal that involved overcharging the county for services. He was the fi rst 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.

When Hansen began his term, the coun-ty had been embroiled in the Quality Pav-ing scandal that involved overcharging the county for services. He was the fi rst 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 ques-tion on the ballot that allowed an increase of members of the board from three to fi ve, 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 con-struction of the FasTracks on the North Metro Line and the Interstate 25 high oc-cupancy 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 Char-ter that would replace some elected offi ces with hired staff and have the remaining of-fi ces be elected through non-partisan elec-tions.

Hansen has a bachelor’s degree in po-litical science from Truman State University and a master’s degree in business adminis-tration from the University of Denver. He was awarded the Gates Foundation Fellow-ship in 2011 to attend the Harvard Kennedy School’s State and Local Government Ex-ecutive 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, Hous-ton). The Spirited Awards are held each year during Tales of the Cocktail, the world’s pre-mier 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,” Ke-nyon told Eater Denver. “I didn’t think I was going to win. Someone from a secondary mar-ket 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 Simon-son, author and journalist for The New York Times, tweeted this after Kenyon’s win:

“Jul 19 #spiritedawards win for @SeanKen-yon 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 fam-ily 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 every-where: Honor yourself, honor your peers, and honor your craft.”

Summer eatery week setDenver foodies, start your appetites. The

menus for the first Summer Denver Restau-rant Week were listed July 23 at www.Denver-RestaurantWeek.com.

For the first time, Denver Restaurant Week will offer a summer version Aug. 23-29 with more than 200 Denver restaurants offering multi-course dinners for the fixed price of $30 (tax and tip not included).

“At the request of the participating restau-rants, Denver Restaurant Week was expanded this year to offer a summer version, which will feature outdoor dining, fresh locally sourced produce and seasonal menu items,” said Rich-ard Scharf, president and CEO of Visit Denver, organizer of the event.

Menus are listed on the website by cuisine and by neighborhood. Diners can also see which restaurants offer vegetarian options

Throughout this year’s event, diners will also be encouraged to enter to win “The Pur-suit of Perfection in the Kitchen” sweepstakes, presented by Lexus, which will award two lucky winners private cooking lessons with top Denver chefs, Andrea Frizzi of Il Posto or Elise Wiggins from Panzano. Information on enter-ing the contest can be found at Facebook.com/VisitDenver. The contest will run through the end of Denver Restaurant Week.

Cities host outdoor �lmsBy Clarke [email protected]

Summer is the time to be outdoors, to relax with friends and family and enjoy the best panora-mas 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, offer-ing 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 physi-cal 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.”

have joined forces again to gather school sup-plies for military children across the country. 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 Home-front 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 Home-front volunteers will collect and distribute the gifts to military children during the back-to-school season in August and September. Go to www.operationhomefront.net for more details on how to contribute.

Dollar Tree has stores throughout the met-ro area, including Lakewood, Westminster, Ar-vada, Aurora, Commerce City, Federal Heights, Thornton, Littleton, Englewood, Northglenn, Highlands Ranch, Golden, Parker, Castle Rock and Denver.

Summer yoga at Red RocksDenver-based Core Power Yoga is partner-

ing 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 Downward-Facing 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.core-poweryoga.com/yogaontherocks and each ses-sion is limited to 1,600 people.

A donation of $1 per admission will ben-efit the Whole Planet Foundation, a nonprofit that works to alleviate poverty by supporting more than 500,000 women entrepreneurs in 59 countries worldwide.

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 ex-panded 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 commu-nity.

“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,

Aug. 25 and The Big Lebowski on Tuesday, Sept. 2. Each movie will be preceded by a performance by local musical acts. More information is available at http://film.redrock-sonline.com/fotr.

Farm presents landscaping planBy Lou Ellen [email protected]

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 His-toric Fund staff, and will include shade trees along the lane to the house and flowers for sev-eral gardens around the house and out-build-ings 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 hous-ing development to the south. The addition of 15th Street along the west of the property, with two additional entryways, will give traffic ac-cess into a fifty space parking lot located to the south of the farm.

When completed the Bromley-Hishinu-ma farm will be able to host several events in

Brighton, and will include a working farm with a several different farm animals. The possibil-ity of a shallow water well for use for irrigation on the farm is also being looked into by Brigh-ton Parks and Recreation staff.

Also at the meeting, the Lodging Tax advi-sory 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 ex-ceed $5,000 to help promote programs, proj-ects, 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 edu-cate parents and children on ways to prevent child abductions.

The heART of Brighton/The Armory Per-forming 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.

SPORTSBulldogs battle to second placeBrighton defeated by Eaton in title matchBy Michelle [email protected]

Despite Jose Treto’s strong efforts Sun-day night, Brighton couldn’t pull off an-other win for a second state title in two weeks.

Brighton lost to Eaton 4-2 in seven innings of the American Legion 17-and-under 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 al-lowed 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

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 gapBrighton High School hosts yearly youth football campBy Michelle [email protected]

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 commu-nity,” 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 run-ning backs, quarterbacks, linemen and receivers. In the defensive phase, skills will focus on the linemen, defen-sive 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

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 pro-gram has planned four camps with the Brighton Youth Association Football League: Hogs and Dogs, QB1, tack-ling 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 Asso-ciation Football League.

Bats out for softballBrighton High School o�ers two campsBy Michelle [email protected]

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 4:30-6:30 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 soft-ball 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 dif-ference makes for two camps,” he said. “Many of the younger kids will be com-ing to Brighton, and it’s a great way for them to meet the staff, we also have kids from all around areas able to par-ticipate too. It’s open to everyone.”

Gonzales said that each day will be power packed with offensive skills, defensive skills, proper throwing me-chanics, sliding, pitching, bunting and hitting taught by highly qualified in-structors.

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 encour-aged and excited for the 2014 season,” he said. “Our summer camp is an op-portunity 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.

Summer tennis season ends on high noteVast number of CARA tennis players compete in state tournamentBy Michelle [email protected]

Brighton’s own Colorado Association of Recreational Athletics tennis pro-gram 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, South-Suburban and Arvada,” David Evange-lista 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 Brigh-ton students win state and take home some trophies.”

Evangelista said during the off-sea-son he’d like to play some tennis him-self.

“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 ten-nis.

“Although the season is over, it doesn’t mean you can’t play tennis any-more,” he said. “Tennis is a great sport, and one can continue to enjoy it long after finishing CARA.”

Broncos no longer Super Bowl favorites Most everyone in Colorado and many

in the Rocky Mountain region believe the Denver Broncos are on the cusp of win-ning 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 ana-lysts 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 chanc-es either saying: “Last year the Broncos’ most signifi cant 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 sev-eral new starts through free agency, they also added cornerback Bradley Roby with its fi rst round draft pick.

Moreover, when it is all said and done the Broncos could have fi ve 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.

Bulldogs battle to second place

players doing extraordinary things which I’m glad to be a part of.”

Garza thanks his team and coaches for a great summer.

Summer tennis season ends on high note

Katherine Hernandez (18U), Victoria Carter (14U) and Tyler Frankish and Evan Cochran (18U Doubles).

THINGS TO DO

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 enter-tained visitors at the Eagle View Adult Center July 23 by broadcasting live his morning radio show “The Break-fast Club.”

Crandall and his broadcast crew were welcomed to Brighton by Mayor Dick McLean and Eagle View direc-tor 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 Po-

lice force parked along the route.

The police officers all stood at attention and salut-

ed 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.
