But the big news is the agreement to pull the ballot measures. Hickenlooper and the oil and gas industry had opposed Polis’ ef- forts, concerned that the initiatives would be akin to a fracking ban in a state that relies on drilling to feed the economy.

Voters will not be weighing in on hydraulic fracturing this November after all.
Gov. John Hickenlooper and U.S. Rep. Jared Polis announced an elev-enth hour deal on Aug. 4 to create a special task force to address issues surrounding fracking — the very day that signatures to put fracking on the November ballot were due for sub-mission to the Secretary of State’s Of-fi ce.
The task force is part of a deal that the two Democrats reached in the days leading up to the announce-ment that will also end efforts by Po-lis to place two anti-fracking ballot initiatives on the November ballot.
Later in the day, pro-fracking groups said they too will drop their own ballot initiative efforts, suddenly ending what was gearing up to be a ballot box fi ght that was expected to be costly – both in terms of campaign advertising dollars and potentially in political price for other candidates seeking offi ce this fall.
The Polis-backed initiatives sought to increase setback require-ments for wells and would have also given communities greater control over oil and gas drilling operations. Pro-fracking groups had sought ini-tiatives that could have had econom-ic impacts on communities that ban fracking – the process by which water and chemicals are blasted into the ground to free up trapped oil and gas underneath.

She was recently hired to oversee the daily operations of the organiza-tion, which has fi ve outpatient of-fi ces in Brighton, Commerce City, Northglenn, Thornton and West-minster.

‘Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can’Stuff.Most of us have lots of it.Cristin Bleess and her husband, Adrian
Horner, did.But by the time March 13 rolls around,
the day they leave for Albania with the Peace Corps, their possessions will amount to this:
• An antique pie cupboard refinished by Adrian’s mother and given to them as a wedding gift
• A coffee table made from the win-dow of Cristin’s grandparents’ Minnesota farmhouse
• A cedar hope chest that belonged to Cristin’s aunt filled with items such as a childhood photo album and a few framed photographs
• Two filing drawers of tax returns, Social Security information and other documents
• Camping and backpacking gear• A couple of bicycles• Two suitcases each of clothing“It’s amazing how much stuff you have
that really isn’t sentimental or even used or even appreciated,” Adrian said as he considered what they have let go. “The thrill of discovery is almost better than the thrill of having.”
The journey to de-stuff began late last fall when Cristin, 41, a Spanish teacher, and Adrian, 38, a software tester, decided to change the course of their lives.
“We just wanted a new adventure,” Cristin said.
They contacted a Realtor with the intention of putting their three-bedroom home on the market in January, met with a financial adviser and, after exploring options, decided to apply to the Peace Corps, which requires a 27-month com-mitment.
Meanwhile, they began deconstruct-ing their belongings, much of it unique, original folk art collected from coun-tries they’d visited in Latin America or antiques with personal connections or collections of one-time passions that reflected eras of their lives.
“Our stuff wasn’t stuff you can buy at Pier 1 or Target,” Cristin said. “It’s stuff we had both collected through travels or through family or through interests. We thought about it a lot.”
They checked into storage costs — $200 a month. Too expensive.
They considered disposing of some, keeping some. But the storage cost issue remained, and family didn’t have enough space to offer.
Then Cristin saw this Facebook post: “Collect memories, not things.”
And that was it.She said to Adrian: “Let’s just get rid of
it all.”They began in the basement, with
holiday decorations and unopened boxes that had followed Adrian and Cristin from place to place.
High school yearbooks.Adrian’s ACT scores.The 1,500 to 2,000 comic books of
“Fantastic Four,” “Avengers,” “X-Men” and others that Adrian had collected in elementary and middle school.
The military memorabilia collection that started with Adrian’s grandfather’s WWII medals and included a Civil War bayonet and a WWI helmet.
Cristin’s beloved sticker collection, which she began in fifth grade and con-tinued for several years, building it into what she called the best collection, even organized by categories such as teddy bears, unicorns and hearts.
It all easily sold through postings on social media garage-sale sites or consign-ment to niche stores.
“I took my grandfather’s insignia out and sold all of it,” Adrian, a college his-tory major, said of the military collection. “It went from a big box to a couple of medals.”
Cristin became Facebook friends with the woman who bought her sticker col-lection, one of the possessions to which she was most attached.
“It’s probably the first thing I ever was
passionate about and that I did on my own,” she said. “I spent my own money on it and took care of it and was invested in it. Like I said, it was the best collec-tion.”
Next came the kitchen. Dishes. Pans. The box of cake-making utensils given to Cristin by her mom, a baker of wedding cakes.
Books — avid readers, they donated boxes of books to the local library.
Clothing.For staging purposes, closets should
look empty to help sell the house, Adrian said. So “we got ruthless with our cloth-ing.”
“You have so many clothes you never wear,” Cristin added. “As a dual-income, no-kids couple, you just accumulate stuff and you don’t always think before you buy it…”
They took three to four lawn-size trash bags of clothing to five different consign-ment stores from Castle Rock to Boulder, the rest to Goodwill.
On Jan. 1, they listed their home and moved in with Adrian’s mother. They also moved some furniture to her basement and all the folk art.
Adrian’s mother took the two-and-a-half-foot tall, colorful, ceramic church, a thrill-of-discovery find by renowned Mexican potter Candelario Medrano chanced upon on the floor of a Santa Fe gallery, and a metal red heart that “spoke” to Cristin in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico.
Except for four other pieces, they delivered all to a consignment store near Tucson. The ones they held back include a smaller Medrano church, and a fruit bowl and clay figurines of a couple on a park bench made by the Mexican artist Josefina Aguilar, whom Cristin met on the same trip during which she met Adrian.
“I wanted to take them with the other stuff to Arizona,” Cristin said, “but Adrian wanted to think about it more.”
“I probably fought harder on keeping things in the folk art collection,” Adrian said. “I have a lot of fond memories of the things we’d done together, and the stuff in the house reminded me of that. I recognized the fact I couldn’t just go to Wal-Mart and buy them again.”
Travel has played a meaningful role in their lives and relationship.
A high school trip to Mexico ignited Cristin’s passion for Spanish, which became her career. An acclaimed teacher, she taught the language for 18 years until the school year ended in May.
She was traveling throughout Mexico in July 2003 when she met Adrian at a hostel in Oaxaca. He was three months into an 18-month bike trip he started in California and ended in Argentina. Until his return to the Denver area, they communicated through emails. Then, they visited between Denver and Minne-apolis, where Cristin was teaching at the time, until she moved here in 2005. They married two years later and have jour-neyed together through 13 states and four countries. The anticipation is building for Albania, which is unlike any place they’ve been.
“It’s that thrill, the excitement,” Adrian said. “I think that’s why we both love to travel — we don’t know what we’re going to get.”
When the house sold in March, they moved most of the furniture to the base-ment of Adrian’s mother’s home and put it on Craigslist. Eventually, it all went.
The red couch with the two chairs, one green, one a patchwork of colors, and a geometric-design rug.
The queen bed, full bed and twin bed.The dining room table and chairs.Bookshelves.The antique wardrobe and dresser.Lamps.Patio furniture.The antique washstand.Cristin delivered the dresser her uncle
made in his high school shop class to her second cousin in Loveland.
Adrian also sold the ‘93 black Geo-tracker he had started driving his junior year in high school.
The final piece of furniture, a TV cabi-net, sold three weeks ago.
“I felt like a weight was being lifted every time something went out the door,” Cristin said. “I felt lighter. … It was not even about the money. We haven’t gotten rich — we’ve lost money. It just feels good — freeing.”

Adrian agreed. “It feels like you have a lot of choices — you’re not weighted down by all the possessions.”
They might have thought differently about the downsizing if they had chil-dren. But their belongings, they say, don’t hold the same sentimental value to nieces and nephews.
And being unencumbered by things, they say, gives them a freedom to pursue new passions wherever they take them.
“Whatever,” Adrian said, “we want to do.”
But nothing that requires having a lot of stuff.
Cristin mentions an old radio ad that described the Mile High Flea Mar-ket as a place where the under-stuffed come to get stuff and the over-stuffed go to sell stuff.
“I want to be the under-stuffed,” Cristin said. “I don’t ever want to be the over-stuffed again.”

cessities.But with unlimited room for all the

Man killed by security guard in Westminster apartment complex Sta� Report
A man was killed over the weekend in a Westminster apartment complex.
Around 1:25 a.m. on Aug. 2 the West-minster Police Department responded to a shooting in the parking lot of the Sun-set Ridge Apartments at 8300 N. Sheridan Blvd. after witnesses reported a man had
been shot by a security guard on the prop-erty.
According to police, David Ludwig, 24, was shot by a security guard after he confronted the guard while holding an airsoft/replica handgun near building 26. The airsoft/replica gun did not have an orange tip and was similar in weight to a real gun. Ludwig was taken to an area
hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
The uniformed security guard is coop-erating with the investigation.
By press time, the name of the security guard and the name of the security guard company were not released by police. Se-curity guard businesses are required to obtain a business license through the city
of Westminster. According to police the company involved in the investigation did hold a current security guard business license.
Westminster Police said it is difficult to differentiate between an airsoft gun and a real gun. The investigation is ongoing and will be presented to the District Attorney’s office by the end of the week.
CDOT lowers road under 88th bridge I-25 work continues, completion set for fall 2015 By Tammy Kranz [email protected]
The work on Interstate 25 will continue for another year, but the weekend-long lane closures have ended
The Colorado Department of Transporta-tion (CDOT) closed a northbound lane during the last weekend of July and closed a south-bound lane during the fi rst weekend of Au-gust. The closures were deemed necessary in order to work on lowering the highway’s pave-ment under the 88th Avenue bridge.
“We will continue to have various lane clo-sures throughout the remainder of the project, but none as big as these,” said Crystal Morgan, a communications manager with CDOT. “The project is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2015.”
The I-25 project will create a high occu-pancy vehicle (HOV) tolled express lanes from U.S. 36 to 120th Avenue. Work began October 2013, but intensifi ed lately with the pavement lowering under the 88th bridge. The lowering improved the clearance by approximately a foot and was done in an effort to prevent the bridge from being struck by trucks.
The project calls for the construction of six miles of a new managed land in each direction and adding an additional 13,055 linear feet of concrete sound walls. This new wall will re-place the existing wood fence(s) — 76 percent of which are located in Northglenn and 24 percent are located in unincorporated Adams County.
Thornton Mayor Heidi Williams said the hope is the new HOV lanes will ease the con-gestion in the area and could bring more peo-ple in the area to shop.
“I think it will be a positive impact, it cer-tainly couldn’t be a negative,” she said. “I’m thrilled the communities were able to put money into it and work together to be good regional partners.”
The project has $59.3 million in total fund-ing, made possible through a mixture of fed-
eral, state and local contributions. The funding breakdown is: $15 million from the Transpor-tation Investment Generating Economic Re-covery (TIGER) program, $30.33 million from other federal funds, $8.7 million from the state, $1.75 million from Thornton, $1.5 million from Adams County, $750,000 from the Re-gional Transportation District (RTD), $550,000 from Northglenn, $500,000 from Westminster, $150,000 from Federal Heights, $50,000 from Broomfi eld and $25,000 from Weld County.

WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL ON THE RECORD Westminster City Council voted on the following
legislation during the July 28 meeting. Council members in attendance were Mayor Herb Atchison, Mayor Pro Tem Faith Winter and councilors Alberto Garcia, Bruce Baker, Emma Pinter, Bob Briggs and Anita Seitz.
Contract approved for bridge replacementCouncil unanimously authorized the city manager
to award the bid and execute a contract with Hamilton Construction Co., in the amount of $5,016,947.90 for the construction of the 72nd Avenue/Raleigh Street Bridge Replacement Project and a contingency of $450,000. Utility portions of the project will begin by the end of August. The bridge replacement will begin in June 2015 with project completion scheduled for fall of 2015. During the bridge replacement, a full closure of 72nd Avenue will occur with detours.
Contract approved for structural design on bridgeCouncil unanimously authorized the city manager
to enter into a sole source contract with Atkins North America, Inc., in the amount of $88,574, for the prepa-ration of structural design drawings of architectural enhancements to the Federal Boulevard Bridge over the Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Railroad. The Colo-rado Department of Transportation is finalizing the design for the replacement of the Federal Boulevard Bridge over the Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Railroad at approximately 69th Avenue in Westminster
Bill passed on developmentCouncil unanimously passed Councilor’s Bill No.
20 on first reading vacating the existing rights-of-way within East Bradburn Subdivision, Filing No. 1. The East Bradburn development site is located immedi-ately adjacent to the developed portion of Bradburn Subdivision and is bounded by 120th Avenue to the north, Lowell Boulevard to the east and 118th Avenue to the south. The originally approved Official Devel-opment Plan for this area defined a street layout that would accommodate the construction of a townhome product, but financial difficulties experienced by the
original developer caused the site to sit dormant for several years. Now, a new developer has acquired the property with the intent of constructing single family, detached dwellings. This different product calls for a slightly modified street layout.
Resolution passed to pursue grantsAfter a 6-1 vote, council adopted Resolution No. 16
authorizing the Department of Community Develop-ment to pursue two grants from the Adams County Open Space grant program during the 2014 fall cycle in the amount of up to $576,000 for the acquisition of up to four parcels at 6930, 6940, 6950, and 6960 Lowell Boulevard for the future Little Dry Creek Park area and for $1,072,779 for the Little Dry Creek Riparian Habi-tat Improvement project at 72nd Avenue and Raleigh Street to remove the Little Dry Creek concrete channel and provide trail connections.
Contract approved for master planningAfter a 6-1 vote, council authorize the city manager
to execute a contract with Matrix Design Group, Inc., in the amount of $189,256 for master planning and branding services for Standley Lake Regional Park and authorize an 8 percent contingency for potential ad-ditional services in the amount of $15,140 for a total project cost of $204,396. A Master Plan Update, seek-ing to revitalize the lake as a more notable regional recreation destination, was initiated by the Depart-ment of Parks, Recreation and Libraries earlier this year.
The next council meeting will be 7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 11, at City Hall, 4800 W. 92nd Ave. in Westminster.

Westy Fest this weekendCome one, come all to Westy Fest this
coming Saturday, Aug. 9 at Westminster City Park (105th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard). Always a treat for the whole family, this year’s Fest (Faire) includes some fundraising activities “next door” worthy of note by the Noon Westminster Rotary Club. Proceeds go toward sup-porting the club’s annual scholarship program which helps high school gradu-ating seniors in Westminster achieve their educational goals of college or trade school and subsequently improves our community.
Peaches, recycling and shred itCome buy your peaches which are
fresh picked from orchards in Palisades, Colorado. A 10-pound box is $22 and an 18-pound box is $30. Peaches can be picked up at the circle drive at the Westminster City Park Recreation Center 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Then clear out those old electronics and bring them to the Electronics Recycling Collection Event. Metech Recycling, which is a Certified e-Stewards recycler, will handle the recycling and will be using more than 95 percent of all materials being recycled for remanufacture. A fee will be charged for the various electronic items. Finally, Shred It offers shredding of documents at $3 per bag or $5 per box. Both of these
activities are available 9 a.m. to noon at the same location as the peaches pick up. Again, these are fundraisers for scholarships for our local high school seniors.
Public-private ventures are criticalState Sen. Matt Jones has a new
public-private highway project to kick around. Remember Jones was the big-gest and loudest critic of the 50-year contract with Plenary Roads Denver to widen and improve U.S. 36 from Broom-field to Boulder.
The new project being touted for tolling under a public-private contract is the redo of Interstate 70 between Interstate 25 and Tower Road. The $1.8 billion project does warrant plenty of public review and access to contract documents before the CDOT Commis-sion would approve it. This contract ap-
parently would be for less than 50 years which I believe is prudent.
While Jones has some valid points as far as process and public engagement, the “fact of life” for Colorado and many other states is that public-private high-way projects are here to stay and tolling is a basic element in the package.
A double whammyHighway construction and re-con-
struction projects face a double wham-my. First, the magnitude of project costs has a heavy impact on state highway budgets. Secondly, the funding for such projects has been eroding for years. One of the main problems has been the impotency of both state and federal gasoline taxes.
Colorado has not raised its 22 cent per gallon gasoline tax since 1991 and Congress has not adjusted the 18.4 cents per gallon federal gasoline tax since 1993.
Plus, vehicle engines are much more fuel efficient and do not gulp the amount of fuel they once did.
Last year, the fund which collects and spends the federal gas tax generated $37 billion, but spent $50.0 Billion thus
creating a deficit of $13 billion.Both Congress and our state Legis-
lature must put aside worries of re-election and political fallout and bite the bullet on increasing taxes one way or the other to keep highway repairs and new construction funded at a greater amount.
creating a deficit of $13 billion.Both Congress and our state Legis-
lature must put aside worries of re-election and political fallout and bite the bullet on increasing taxes one way or the other to keep highway repairs and new construction funded at a greater amount.
It will likely take a combination of
public-private joint ventures with tolling
as well as increased taxes to even begin
to keep up with the needs of our aging
highway system.
So, let’s be careful on how many con-
straints the state Legislature imposes on
future contracts with the private sector
to build or re-build our state highways.

city manager and RTD board member.

Lessons of a road warrior Things I learned while vacationing
around the state of Colorado last week:Colorado is an enormous state, and
it takes a long time to get places. This is a great thing, as long as your family is happy and getting along (or sleeping); a wise father knows when too much is too much (in other words, somebody other than me).
Seven is an interesting age for little boys — young enough to still be embar-rassed by their own, er, noises, but old enough to fi nd other peoples’ noises hysterically funny.
The hot springs resort at Pagosa Springs doesn’t get quite the publicity that the one at Glenwood does, but it should. The setting, right along the banks of the San Juan River, is stunning, and the resort is clean, and fun for the kids, and has lots of variety for everyone.
High mountain passes are one of my favorite things, but they’re not nearly as much fun when you’ve got the whole fam-ily in the car. A bit nerve-wracking. That
said, Red Mountain Pass between Ouray and Silverton is astonishingly beautiful, though it is not for the faint of heart. At points, there is only about 9 inches of shoulder leading to 1,000-foot drop-offs. But, if you can stomach it, the views of the San Juan Mountains are gorgeous, and the high meadows that line parts of the road are positively Kinkade-ian. Some day, I hope to ride my bike over it (yes, people do that — we passed three of them).
By the way, I would not recommend planning a day of travel that involved Red Mountain, Molas, and Wolf Creek passes.
Especially if you have to race a hailstorm out of Durango along the way. Hard on the car, harder on the nerves.
Nor would I recommend running 6 miles of obstacle course race the day before heading out on a road trip. Sore muscles don’t respond well to being stuck in one position for hours.
MapQuest, and similar apps, are won-derful tools, but they’re not infallible. Still no substitute for being able to read a map.
There is only one thing worse, as a father, than going to a swimming pool with your beautiful teenage daughter, and that’s going to a swimming pool with your TWO beautiful teenage daughters.
Check that — what’s even worse than that is being the guy who has to drive the whole lot of ‘em home after, so you can’t even have a beer poolside to mitigate the pain.
How do you know you’ve done vaca-tion right? When the whole family wants to put an early end to the fi nal day so they can get home to the puppies.
And, no, I am not an employee of the Colorado Tourism Board, or any travel agency. I just think it’s easy, as a native, to take the beauty and grandeur of this state for granted. There is so much to see and do in our own back yard that it seems foolish to send too much of our tourism money elsewhere.
And fi nally, of all the resources you have to marshal to pull off a great vaca-tion, there is one that you get back, and it’s the most limited of them all: time. I am painfully aware of the inexorable passage of time, now that Elizabeth is gradu-ated and plotting her future, and a good vacation is an invaluable way to slow that down — to push the sun back up a little higher in the sky for one more day.

Ravens repulsive rhetoric regarding Rice Baltimore Ravens star running back Ray
Rice held a press conference May 23 in an attempt to characterize punching his then-fi ancé – and dragging her unconscious body out of an elevator in an Atlantic City casino in February – as a “mistake.” (Problematic for Rice, this domestic violence “mistake” was caught on surveillance footage and he was charged with felony assault, but later ac-cepted into a pretrial diversionary program.) Seated before the backdrop of Ravens logos, both Ray and his now-wife Janay admitted their parts in “what happened.”
Wait … what? That’s right; Janay took responsibility for her own beating. As Ray apologized to his fans, teammates, the com-munity, and the kids who look up to him – but not to his wife – Janay said, “I do deeply regret the role that I played in the incident that night.” Moments later, on their offi cial Twitter feed, the Ravens live-tweeted Janay’s words, after already posting Ray’s statement that “(m)e and Janay wish we could take back those 30 seconds of our life.”
Mistake. Incident. What happened.
It was this kind of language that contin-ued in part to fuel the outrage over “what happened.” Even worse was the Raven’s haste to shield Rice from the consequences of his actions by posting carefully crafted messages about the “situation.” It’s bad enough that the Ravens put Rice at the mi-crophone, but to spontaneously spit out his tuck-and-run maneuvering in their @Ravens Twitter feed was a too-smug declaration of their priorities.
Of course, these priorities – for sponsor-ships, fan support, team and player reputa-tions – aren’t unlike those of other sports
organizations. The Denver Broncos stood behind Von Miller when he was punished by the NFL with a 6-game suspension for violating its substance abuse policy, al-though in their statements the Broncos cited Miller’s own admission of his lack of personal responsibility and accountability in his “mistake.”
With their offi cial rhetoric, however, the Ravens had chosen to defl ect Rice’s respon-sibility and accountability for domestic vio-lence. And when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell issued a 2-game slap-on-the-wrist suspension of Rice last month, the court of public opinion erupted. So, on July 31, the Ravens put Rice back at the podium, where this time he declared his actions “inexcus-able.” Rice said, “I own it,” but stressed that he doesn’t want to keep “reliving the inci-dent” so he could can “move on.”
I’ll bet.Rice did say he didn’t want his wife to live
in fear, and his apology of sorts included a concern that his daughter will one day Google him and want to know what hap-
pened. This time Janay didn’t speak … she watched from the balcony.
Rice’s apology comes too late, espe-cially because the fi restorm over his lenient punishment and even the violence itself will likely get snuffed out as preseason football starts. Perhaps this is what the Ravens orga-nization is hoping for.
Most telling, however, was what the Ravens didn’t say. Actually, to be fair here, they did say it on May 23, but this tweet was later deleted – “Ray Rice: ‘I won’t call myself a failure. Failure is not getting knocked down. It’s not getting up.’ ”
In this skewed and empty take on domes-tic violence, it’s Janay Rice who failed. After getting knocked down, she’s the one who didn’t get up.

As a fifth-generation Coloradan, Faith Winter believes it’s her duty to ensure Colorado is living up to its potential.
The Westminster resident intends to put her beliefs in action as she makes her first effort to seek a state representative position for House District 35.
Winter, a Democrat, is up against Republican Mike Melvin.
She is currently serving out her final term on Westminster city council as the mayor pro tem.
During her time on council, Winter said she’s worked hard to make Westminster a great com-munity by tackling important is-sues like public safety, economic development, parks and open space.
She says she plans on using her in-depth knowledge of Westminster during her time at the state Legislature if elected.
“I think it’s a huge benefit that I’ve been on city council because I’ve been able to get to know my community very well,” she said. “I’ve knocked on thousands of doors for the past seven years and taken hundreds of calls, so I understand what affects the community. I understand the hopes and dreams of those who live in Westminster and what they are trying to achieve.”
If elected, Winter said one of her strongest skills she plans on utilizing is her ability to listen to others in a way that they feel like they’re being heard.
During her time on council she spent a lot of time listening her colleagues and city staff on dif-ferent issues and working to find a solution.
“On council I brought people together to find creative solutions, and I think I can do that at a state level as well,” she said. “I have the ability to motivate people and help them achieve their goals.”
Throughout the summer Winter’s been busy walking the streets speaking one-on-one with constituents. She said she has a goal of knocking 10,000 doors this summer asking people what they care about.
Because this is a partisan election, Winter ad-mits it’s sometimes tough to reach some people because they are Republicans and she is a Demo-crat.
But that won’t stop her from fulfilling her goal.“I want to understand everyone’s views and
discuss their issues, but sometimes it can be hard because some people already have their minds made up before they talk to me,” she said. “But I want to hear their side, and I hope people can try to hear mine too.”
Winter said she’s ready for a new adventure and to use her skills in a new setting.
She says she’ll miss her position on council and having the opportunity to affect people’s lives in a really direct way.

With decades of law experience under his belt, Manuel Solano said he believes his expertise could be an asset if he was elected into office.
Solano is the Democratic candidate for the Dis-trict 3 representative of the Adams County Board of County Commissioners.
“I have been an attorney for 38 years, and I felt it was time for me to get out of the courtroom and give back to the community,” he said.
Solano has worked as the regional director for a national civil rights law firm and runs his own
business, Solano Law Offices.If elected, Solano said his main
goal would be to get good jobs to Adams County that pay a livable wage. Every candidate says that, he said, “but I haven’t seen any results.”
He also wants to focus on Front Range Airport and get it to be a self-sustaining operation.
“Taxpayers have had to supplement (the air-port) to the tune of $1.2 million per year for many years now,” Solano said.
Front Range is touted as being a regional hub, he said, so those in the region with an interest in the airport should help support it.
He suggested that the airport partnered with nearby schools such as Metro State University of Denver and School of Mines to create a research and development center.
“We could have a wonderful educational facil-
ity out there,” Solano said.Solano said he has spent time with Adams
County employees and would like to have a closer relationship with them if elected. He said he thinks they unfairly live under a shadow of suspicion since the Quality Paving Scandal a few years ago — which involved county officials giving Quality no-bid contracts and about $1.8 million for work that was never completed or double-billed.
On the heels of the scandal, the county hired an independent ethics officer, from New York, which Solano said was not necessary.
“I think there are other areas we are spending money for outside services that could be brought into Adams County government,” he said.
While this may be his first run for political office, he is no stranger to campaigning or the lifestyle of a politician. His wife, Judy, served four terms as the representative for the state house District 31 and is a candidate for the District 24 state senate seat.
“I’m very fortunate to have such a wonderful wife that has a passion for the community she is truly my backbone,” said the father of three and grandfather of five.
Solano has lived in Adams County for more than 50 years and currently lives in an unincorpo-rated area. He graduated from Adams City High School in 1965 and earned a degree in political science and sociology from the University of Colo-rado. He graduated in 1976 from law school at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
He has served on the Seventeenth Judicial Dis-trict Nomination commission, Legal Aid, Hispanic Bar Association, Colorado Trial Lawyers Associa-tion and the Colorado Environmental Coalition.

But those fears for Democrats now appear to be over as Polis announced he is backing off of his efforts to continue to pursue the initiatives, measures that he had been helping to finance.
Polis said during a Capitol press con-ference that he considers the creation of a task force to be “a victory for the people of Colorado.”
“For the first time, with the com-mission that the governor mentioned, citizens will be on equal footing with the oil and gas industry and will be able to directly negotiate to protect their prop-erty rights, home values, and air quality,” Polis said.
The 18-member task force would be charged with helping to “minimize land use conflicts that can occur when siting oil and gas facilities near homes, schools, businesses and recreational ar-eas,” according to the governor’s office.
The task force would be made up a di-verse group of members from across all business fields. Members would include representatives from the industries of oil and gas, conservation, agriculture, home builders and local governments and civic leaders.
The task force would make recom-mendations on fracking issues to the Legislature.
Although the agreement had been
announced by the governor and Po-lis, it was still unclear at the time of the press event whether pro-fracking groups would agree to drop their own measures.
That question was answered late that evening by Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, who was behind an initiative that would have prohibited communities that ban fracking from col-lecting revenues that are a part of oil and gas revenue allocation.
McNulty said through a press state-ment that he would suspend his efforts, calling the decision by Polis to drop his initiatives was “an exciting turn of events.”
Another pro-fracking initiative, which would have dealt with financial disclosure issues of future ballot mea-sures that deal with energy develop-ment, was also dropped.
Hickenlooper had cautioned for months that the ballot initiatives could have “draconian” results on an industry that generates jobs and contributes bil-lions of dollars to the Colorado economy.
For months, the governor held out hope of calling a special session to ad-dress local control issues surrounding fracking, only to call off those efforts last month after a compromise had failed to materialize.
It now appears that the governor doesn’t have to worry about an expen-sive fight over fracking in November.
“The (task force) will provide an al-ternative to ballot initiatives that, if suc-

Diagnosing the state of Alzheimer’s Forms of dementia likely to increase as county ages By Amy Woodward [email protected]
Editors Note: This is part one of a four-part series, exploring the challenges of Alzheimer’s in the county. George’s name has been changed to protect his privacy. Future installments will be published in consecutive issues.
Experts call it the “silver tsunami”— the 850,000 centenar-ians living in the country by 2050 will represent one the largest pools of people to reach “senior status” in the country’s history.
In the nation, Colorado ranks third as the fastest growing se-nior population, according to the State Demographer’s Offi ce. Jefferson County alone is planning for a 54-percent increase of older adults between the years 2011 and 2021, the Colorado De-partment of Human Services reported.
But as offi cials prepare for the many impacts of an aging population, mental health is also on the forefront as experts warn of an associated rise in mental illness such as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
In this four-part series which begins with a look at one man living with Alzheimer’s, this special report will explore the initia-tives of the nation’s leading organization on Alzheimer’s as well as law enforcement agencies who are ramping up services to address the care and needs of individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s.
George and Alzheimer’sThe sun’s rays begin to break through the overcast haze of an
early April morning just as George arrives at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Denver. Stepping off the Access-a-Ride, he hangs his light jacket in one of the church’s community rooms when he is immediately greeted by fellow croquet players who meet weekly for a two-hour game, hot coffee and breakfast burritos.
George, 75 and retired, diagnosed the mental state of indi-viduals since being drafted into the Vietnam War as an Army psychiatrist. He was a former staff psychiatrist at Fort Logan Mental Health Center and eventually switched to geriatrics psychiatry, performing nursing home visits and treating pa-tients with Alzheimer’s disease.
After more than 30 years observing and treating the mind, George fi nds himself surveying his own mental health after of-fi cially being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2002.
“It’s part of a grand experiment to see if I can live inde-pendently,” said George, who has been living on his own for
the past 13 months. He is considered “high functioning” but George knows what lies ahead — he has been diagnosed with a terminally ill progressive neurological degenerative disease. He is one of 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s, the sixth leading cause of death in the country with more than 500,000 senior deaths each year.
For now, George is adapting and is working with his primary care physician and researchers at the Mile-High Research Cen-ter in Denver, a clinic dedicated to investigative treatments for Alzheimer’s led by Dr. Jack A. Klapper.
“I do need people,” George said. “I’m kind of aware of being dependent on friends, groups of people, family.”
Since his diagnosis, George has been very active with the Alzheimer’s Association’s Colorado Chapter. Through its nu-merous group sessions and activities, George has found a net-work of people with a mutual challenge. The chapter allows for leadership opportunities as well, and George, who used to play guitar, occasionally leads the music therapy group.
“They may seem like small things, but boy, I take great pride in preparing for it,” he said. “They let me give back. I don’t like to be in a position where I feel like a mooch.”
The Colorado Alzheimer’s Association provides resources for persons living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of demen-tia including their caregivers. Its presence is part of the state’s Alzheimer’s Plan that identifi es the Colorado chapter as the specialist that partners with state, county, city and commu-nity service organizations. The passing of a senate bill autho-rized the formation of the Colorado Alzheimer’s Coordinating Council which submitted an Alzheimer’s State Plan in 2010 to the governor, General Assembly and state departments. The report presented recommendations relating to the increasing incidence of Alzheimer’s in Colorado and assessed the state’s public and private ability to address the needs and care of an aging population affected by Alzheimer’s.
The Alzheimer’s Association expects Colorado to see a 46 percent increase, or 110,000 people living with Alzheimer’s by 2025. Currently, 63,000 people are living with Alzheimer’s state-wide.
Although many unknowns exist as to what causes Alzheim-er’s, doctors agree the older a person, the more likely he or she is to develop some form of dementia.
“By age 80 almost 50 percent of the population has some cognitive impairment,” said Dr. Robert Parker, professor and chief of community geriatrics at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. “We’re an aging population and we’ve got to learn how to deal with it.”
Parker has been practicing in geriatric medicine for 40 years. By the end of the year, he will retire from a career that has been
emotionally rewarding to him. His expertise has led him to tackle other issues relating to Alzheimer’s including elder abuse.
Abuse and the need for care services are some of the most common topics surrounding not only seniors but also seniors with Alzheimer’s. Diagnosing forms of dementia is challenging, Parker said, with specialist and primary care physicians often missing the signs of the disease in their patients.
Statistics shared by Parker through the Alzheimer’s Associa-tion and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that by age 75, about 20 to 25 percent of adults have some kind of cognitive impairment undetected by physicians.
“The reason for that is the social skills are so well preserved that these people appear to be perfectly normal, they might even think that they’re normal,” Parker said. “It’s estimated that somewhere around 60 to 70 percent of the specialists miss mild to moderate dementia in their patients because they don’t spend enough time talking to them and they don’t listen. Pri-mary care physicians are a little better they only miss 40 to 50 percent.”
George found it diffi cult to fi nd a defi nitive diagnosis for his condition with researchers in Denver often clashing with his primary care physician who took him off Aricept, a potent and critical drug treatment for persons with dementia and Al-zheimer’s.
At one point George said he was diagnosed with depressive pseudo-dementia, depression that looks like dementia, after he reported having memory problems as early as the 1980s when he was in his late 40s. Between 2002 and 2006, he was receiving two different opinions about whether or not he had Alzheimer’s although he was experiencing “fl uctuating memory loss.”
The prescription drug Aricept coupled with anti-depres-sants seemed to relieve symptoms, but it took researchers in Denver to convince his primary doctor to restart the medica-tion, George said.
“If you think of the brain from front to back the prefrontal cortex is where executive function is, where the complex deci-sions are made,” Parker said. “The Alzheimer’s disease usually affects the front part of the brain and tends to go backwards. So as we lose our cognitive abilities, we kind of lose them in the reverse order that we gained them as a child.”
George retired as a psychiatrist in his mid-50s when he found his memory was becoming fl aky. When driving, he often missed his exits on the highway. It is possible that George devel-oped younger onset of Alzheimer’s. But again, medical profes-sionals were unsure what was causing his early symptoms.
George accepted the diagnosis by the Mile-High Research Center but differing medical opinions early-on left him con-fused and unsure of his mental state for years. He now main-tains an awareness of his disease that offers no cure — only preparedness against a fading memory and the dangers it can pose.
George spends time writing letters to friends and even writes poetry when he is not participating during weekly activities with the Alzheimer’s Association. He logs his daily activities in a small calendar that he views often which helps him to remember what he did earlier in the week and what he has planned in the days to come. Photo by Amy Woodward
ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE ALZHEIMER’S IS the most common form of dementia. It a� ects memory, thinking and behavior with symptoms worsening over time. Abnormal protein buildup in the brain is believed to cause the symptoms. There is no cure. Treat-ment only slows symptom progression. The disease is most common in those 65-and-over, but “early onset” is occasionally seen in patients in their 40s and 50s.

Poliscessful, would have regulated the oil and gas industry through the rigidity of constitutional amendments and would have imposed a signifi cant threat to Colorado’s econ-omy,” Hickenlooper said.
As for the Longmont litigation, Hickenlooper said he would call on the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission to drop its lawsuit against the city. The city had created its own set of rules surrounding fracking, including a requirement that wells be placed at least 750 feet from an occupied dwelling.
The lawsuit marked the fi rst time the state had sued a city over its own oil and gas rules.
Fracking politics plays out
Former Congressman Bob Beauprez, who is running against Hickenlooper this fall, blasted the “backroom deal” reached by the governor and Polis as having left “many unanswered questions.”
Colorado Republican Chairman Ryan Call was also criti-cal of the announcement.
“Literally, the only thing that we know for certain after to-day’s press conference is that Gov. Hickenlooper, Jared Polis and Colorado Democrats want even more control over Col-orado’s already heavily regulated energy industry,” Call said through an emailed statement.
As for Udall, he had been in a tough spot on the fracking issue, considering that a large number of environmentalists — a key Udall constituency — had been behind Polis’ efforts.
The senator issued a statement in favor of the agreement.“This deal — which averts a divisive and counterproduc-
tive ballot fi ght over one-size-fi ts-all restrictions — is wel-come news and underscores how all of Colorado benefi ts when we fi nd common ground,” Udall said.
Polis, whose district includes some cities that have voted to ban fracking, told reporters that he had never been pres-sured by fellow Democrats worried about the political rami-fi cations to halt his efforts.
“I would say no,” Polis said. “The Democrats in my dis-trict were very excited about these initiatives and the chance to fi ght it out and protect their homes. Obviously this will be disappointing to some of my constituents, Republican and Democratic, but I would point out to them that there’s been progress made.”

Spotlight shines on international heroes Northglenn Youth � eatre presents ‘History Hunters’ By Tammy Kranz [email protected]
Granny Nanny is credited with establish-ing a secret settlement in Jamaica in the early 18th century and helping to free more than 800 slaves.
But not many people off the island are fa-miliar with this Jamaican national hero.
“It’s an amazing story — her face is on the money of Jamaica,” said Richie Castro of Com-merce City. “There are so many people that us as Americans don’t know who they are and I like to shine a light on the international heroes that deserve their stories to be told.”
Telling these unknown stories is what motivated Castro to produce a collection of children’s songs in a program called “History Hunters.” As Castro traveled to different coun-tries and learned about these historical fi gures, he penned a new song.
He has teamed up with the Northlgenn Youth Theatre (NYT) to expand the program into a musical adventure story.
“Now there’s some more twists in the plot and more songs so the kids can have some involvement,” said Kimberly Jongejan, NYT’s director.
Jongejan said she saw the program a couple years ago in a workshop setting and knew a collaboration was possible.
“I thought it looked like something fun and new that we could bring to our community,” she said.
Twenty-three NYT actors are part of the show, which runs about an hour and a half with a short intermission. The show stars Reg-gie McCullough, who plays Scout, and Castro
playing the History Hunter.“When Richie and I joined forces in 2009 in
Chiang Mai, Thailand, he had just barely writ-ten the songs,” McCullough said. “We had no idea it would grow into this. To see all these wonderful, talented young actors sing our songs and getting into the stories is more than a dream come true.”
Jongejan said NYT had a great experience with the collaboration and sees more oppor-tunities to work with other performing groups in the future. She said a new NYT Academy offshoot will happen later this year and will be used to broaden young actors’ theater educa-tion. She foresaw collaborations such as this being a great educational tool for the academy.
“History Hunters” runs from Aug. 8-10 at the D.L. Parsons Theatre, 11801 Community Center Drive in Northglenn. Tickets are $7 for youth, seniors and $8 for adults and can be purchased by calling 303-450-8800.

Sculpting steel Eckhardt reception set for Aug. 9 By Ashley Reimers [email protected]
Bill Eckhardt’s been doing metal sculpting since high school, and now at the age of 58, it’s pretty much become second nature. The artist can whip out 20 to 30 pieces a week, each one amazingly unique from the other.
“I’m always changing up what I create,” he said. “But every piece I make has its own atti-tude and spirit.”
Eckhardt’s work is on display at Aar River Gallery, 3707 W. 73rd Ave. in Westminster. More than 30 steel pieces fi ll the outdoor garden at the gallery and are all up for purchase. To cel-ebrate the show, Becky Silver, gallery owner, is hosting an opening reception 2-7 p.m. on Sat-urday, Aug. 9, at the gallery. The event will fea-ture food, live music and a visit from Eckhardt.
“I’m excited to have Bill’s pieces in the gal-lery because they are all just very creative and they all represent different things,” she said. “There are large pieces and small pieces and the price range is good.”
Over the years, Eckhardt has jumped around in terms of his sculpting style. Right now he’s inspired by a southwestern theme, but that could change in an instant. He said he tries not to be redundant in his work, always seeking out new ideas and inspirations. He even dabbles in some freestyle work, just piec-ing together different pieces of steel.
Eckhardt’s other passion is working on cars
and hot rods. He says he keeps busy with both art and cars, which keeps him sane.
“I’m just coming off a break from art be-cause I kind of get burned out,” he said. “But after my break is over, the fl uids are fl ying and I just let things happen as they do. I’ve probably done 10,000 pieces in my life.”
Eckhardt is working on a new line of steel sculptures that feature cloth to help soften his pieces. He’s always striving to come up with new ideas, and says his eyes are always open to the world around him.
“One of my favorite pieces is a willow lady that is tall and skinny. I got the idea for her be-cause of a willow tree I saw outside one day,” Eckhardt said. “I’ve seen dead trees that have inspired me. I just try to see what’s around me. And once I have an idea, I turn on some reggae or blues music and get it on.”
Bill Eckhardt’s steel sculptures are now on display at Aar River Gallery in Westminster. The pieces range in size and price and have a southwestern theme. Photo by Ashley Reimers

A-5272, a number forever inked upon Eva Schloss’s forearm, serves as a stark reminder of that.
Silent for years, Schloss now travels the world sharing her experiences of the Holocaust.
“At the moment, it’s more necessary to speak about it and educate young people about discrimination. It’s more than ever necessary to stress the dangers,” she said. “At the time, people would say they don’t know or didn’t know about the concentration camps — people denied the general knowl-edge, but now, when you see everything in your own living
room the whole world has become much smaller, you see what is happening and what goes on.”
Born in Vienna in 1929, Schloss was a happy, outdoorsy girl who loved to go mountain climbing and skiing with her father. That life was soon interrupted when, at age 9, the Nazis invaded Austria, forcing her, her brother Heinz, and her parents
to temporarily move to Belgium.“I was treated like a Jewish refugee, an unwelcome citizen,
and I really suffered,” she said. “In February, 1940 we moved to Amsterdam. At first, it was very nice, the Dutch were very friendly, wanted to know what life was like in other countries, but as soon as the Nazis came in it was terrible.”
In Amsterdam, Schloss lived across from famed World War II diarist, Anne Frank. She and Frank swiftly became friends and sometimes skipped and played hopscotch together.
For the next two years, the two visited one another playing in the square in their Amsterdam neighborhood, Merwedeplein, until one day their families received a call.
“After two years, when my brother was called up to be de-ported — it was exactly the same time when Anne’s older sister, Margot, got this call up notice and they went into hiding,” she said.
Concealed by members of the Dutch Resistance, both families were forced to hide from the SS. Separated from her father and brother, Schloss, an active teenager at the time, and her mother
moved from spare room to spare room for two years, living in a daily prison of silence until their confidants returned to their residences.
“I was cooped up in a little room, and had to sit still through the whole day, not meet any friends, not do anything, and so it was first of
all, terribly boring and as well as very scary,” she said. “It was sort of really like a prison.”
On Schloss’s 15th birthday, the women were taken by their confidant, a Dutch nurse acting as a double agent, to a Nazi trap, where they were interro-
gated and deported. Within three days of their capture, the pair were reunited with their family, and forced to board a train and travel to an unknown destina-
tion.A journey where only one thought crossed their minds: “Within a day or two we
would be killed.”Destined for the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, upon arrival, the family,
and other deportees, were separated according to age and gender. Many of the elderly and children were immediately selected to be gassed.
Dressed in a longer coat, Schloss appeared to be older than she was and was passed over for selection — a harrowing occurrence she would be forced to endure several times during the following nine months of her life.
“My mother and me were really lucky because I was quite young still to have passed the first selection,” she said, “and then we entered the camp.”
The life which followed was one no one was meant to survive.On a daily basis, Schloss and the other prisoners were exposed to the depravity of
the inhumane conditions the SS forced upon them. Every morning, prisoners were forced to rise early, perform laborious tasks in extreme environments, were given
little to no food, and were exposed to illnesses and medical concerns such as lice, typhus, and bedbugs.
Through a series of small, unusual events, Schloss was continually passed over for selection. While separated, she saw her father on occa-
sion, but would never see her brother again.“Little incidents again that helped me live another day — an-
other week ,” she said. “I was lucky and we were lucky that we were liberated in January 1945, so before the war was really
finished. I could certainly not have made it to the end of the war.”
In the middle of winter in 1945, SS officers began to empty the camp, sending more than 60,000 prisoners
out on death marches to the village of Wodzislaw, before fleeing the site themselves.

Chefs warm up here, then heat up East
New York Eater, the national website that has a Denver version (www.denver.eater.com), has traced the culinary trek of Colorado chefs who have packed their knives and migrated to The Big Apple.
While writer Nick Solares highlights the Colorado kitchen careers of a number of chefs who practiced their craft at The Little Nell in Aspen and Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder in particular, the story had a glaring omission — my son, On the Town Junior.
Mackenzie Parker Harden moved to New York City more than a year ago to pursue a performing arts career, but fell back on the restaurant training he received at Elway’s, El Diablo and (as a sage) at TAG, and landed a server job at Maialino, a much-lauded jewel in the crown of the Union Square Hospitality Group, helmed by noted restaurateur Danny Meyer.
The story credits the culinary pro-gram of The Little Nell resort in Aspen and Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder for providing top New York restaurant whiz-zes. Among those former Coloradans are Dustin Wilson, the sommelier at Eleven Madison Park, Sabato Sagaria, chief res-taurant officer for Union Square Hospital-ity Group and seemingly the entire staff of Charlie Bird, to name but a few.
The story notes: “Is Colorado turn-ing into a farm system for NYC kitchens? Is this just a strange coincidence? Or is there, in fact, a Colorado connection? Eater talked with some of the state’s no-table expats to find out just why, exactly, so many talented hospitality profession-als are migrating from Colorado to New York.”
It continues: “Colorado is in many ways the quintessential Western state, and the resourcefulness and spirit of indepen-dence that were such driving forces in the migration across the plains still manifest themselves there. `It’s hard to live in Colo-rado if you are not a motivated person,’ says Ryan Hardy, chef and owner of Char-lie Bird in NYC. Originally from Kentucky, Hardy spent a decade in Colorado before moving to New York and opening his own restaurant. He has played a role in the cross-pollination of restaurant cultures between the two places, bringing others from Colorado, such as Grant Reynolds, the wine director at Charlie Bird, with him.”

dren’s Colorado, unveiled its new cos-tumed mascot character on July 27 at the zoo’s first Teddy Bear Care Fair.

Alone in the camp, Schloss, her mother and approximately 7,000 prisoners stayed behind, and for 10 days they waited.
“There were very few people because most of the people had been taken out to Germany and Austria,” she said. “It was luck again that my mother and me didn’t go, we stayed behind, and after 10 days the Russians came.”
The soldiers provided the prisoners with food, such as greasy cabbage soup, and medicine, but while liberated, many of the weakened prisoners succumbed to starvation, malnutrition and disease on their journey home.
During the camp’s history, Schloss among an estimated 1.3 million Jews passed through Auschwitz’ gates, but less than 200,000 survived.
“When I look back, I’m amazed that any human being could survive that,” she said.
Following liberation and the end of the war, Schloss and her mother returned to their home in Amsterdam, where, slowly,
life began to move on. Over the coming years, her mother reconnected with their neighbor, Anne’s father, the widower Otto Frank, whom she later married.
But for Schloss, life after the war was diffi cult. Full of hatred, she suppressed her experiences, never sharing them until a moment in 1986, when the tale fl owed out like water.
“It was actually a great relief,” she said. “It felt as if people wanted to know; people were very interested at that time … there was a big curiosity as to what had hap-pened and how and why you survived.”
Twenty eight years later, Schloss is still telling her story, and uses her experiences to educate people about the dangers of prejudices and the beauty of life.
“Through every diffi culty there’s always a silver lining,” she said. “Life has so much beautiful things to offer, if only you see it and take it.”
Schloss lives in London with her hus-band, Zvi Schloss. The couple has three daughters: Caroline, Sylvia and Jacqueline and fi ve grandchildren.
Schloss will visit the Arvada Center to present her survival story and experiences on Friday, Aug. 22.

COMMERCE CITY – The Denver Bron-cos are yet to kick off their season, and the Colorado Rockies are a total mess but there is one team in town that is making a playoff push.
The Colorado Rapids are fresh off their World Cup break, and the team has kept soccer hungry fans satisfied post-World Cup.
Despite featuring one of the youngest rosters in Major League Soccer the Rapids are growing up right before our very eyes.
And that maturity has carried over into the win column as Colorado sits at 8-8-6 (30 points), which currently gives them property of the fifth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
But with 12 games left and four teams chasing the Rapids for that final playoff spot nothing is guaranteed — except for the fact that Colorado needs to continue to play at a high level if they want to qual-ify for the playoffs and make another run at an MLS Cup.
“I tell these guys it’s not April and May anymore, it’s August and September’s coming up, October’s coming up. The little things make a big difference right now,” said Rapids captain Drew Moor.
Moor, the team’s longtime captain and member of Colorado’s 2010 champion-ship team, knows exactly what it takes to not only make the playoffs but to make a run once you get there.
Moor’s sense of urgency stems from the fact that the Rapids have only one outright win in their last six games, after a hit streak that saw Colorado lose only one game in a calendar month.
The Rapids latest slip came in a 1-0 heartbreaking loss to rival Real Salt Lake Saturday at Dicks Sporting Goods Park.
Real Salt Lake scored the game’s only goal in the 14th minute, when Javier Mo-rales finished from 12 yards off a pass from Chris Wingert.
With the loss, Real Salt Lake took the Rocky Mountain Cup back from the Rap-ids, given to the annual winner of the sea-son series, as Salt Lake has two wins with only the third match left to play.
Colorado dominated possession (65 percent to 35 percent) and opportuni-ties (22 shots to 6) but could not find the equalizer, even up a man for most of the second half.
Despite Colorado struggling over their
past few games they actually are in good position in the Western Conference stand-ings.
While the Seattle Sounders FC sit atop the conference with 38 points and 12 wins, the next three teams in the standings be-tween the Sounders and the Rapids (Real
Salt Lake, LA Galaxy and FC Dallas) all have just one more win than Colorado (9).
Theoretically, the Rapids could still climb all the way up to the second spot in the Western Conference standings.
Or, they could still miss the playoffs completely.

Stopping by Summerland Everclear’s Art Alexakis talks his ‘90s rock tour By Crystal Anderson [email protected]
CCM had the opportunity to sit down with Art Alexakis, lead singer of the 1990s rock band, Everclear, to talk about the mu-sic business, touring and even a little bit of food.
You’ve been in the music industry for more than 20 years, in your opinion how has the industry changed over time and do you like where it’s headed?
A: Well it’s changed so much in the time
that I’ve been involved in the music indus-try; I don’t really think it’s an industry any-more it’s a business.
A lot of the major labels are owned by huge multinational corporations that don’t really care about art or anything, or really making money in a big way, they don’t in-vest in to bands they don’t develop bands.
I felt a lot of bands including Everclear, Aerosmith — There’s thousands of bands that wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for being developed over a series of albums.
Making better albums that were differ-ent, just honing to the point where they made a Joshua Tree or a Sparkle and Fade. I made two or three indie albums with dif-ferent bands and one with Everclear before I made Sparkle and Fade or before I made Afterglow. It was development and that’s
exciting — it’s the evolution of an artist.Do I like where it’s going? Yes and No. I
like the do-it-yourself aspect of social me-dia and the internet and being able to use that. I look forward to people developing and making it more user and band and art-ist friendly as time goes on.
I don’t like where it’s going to the point of that no one throws money into it any-more. It’s just the way our society is, run by the one percent of the one percent.
Your music has impacted a lot of people, what song or album of yours has been the most inspiring to you?
A: You’re asking me to choose between my children, but I’d have to say “So Much for the Afterglow” or the one that came right after it.
Our new record is probably one of my
favorite records we’ve made. It’s a rocker; it’s so much fun to play.
What inspires you to keep making music?
A: I don’t know, life, it’s what I do. I’m really not good at anything else, but I think I’m good at writing songs. I teach songwrit-ing at small school in Los Angeles.
What I teach is the creative passion part of it, how to pull that creative passion within you, if you have it. A lot of people just don’t have it and I don’t think you can learn that.
I just love the business love what I do, and if I wasn’t doing this I’d be a manager or running a label or something.

Your guide to the Broncos season CENTENNIAL – The 2014 Denver Bron-
cos season is offi cially here with the start of the team’s fi rst preseason game kicking off tonight when the club hosts the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks.
But even those that bleed orange and blue might not be caught up on everything Bron-cos they need to know going into the season.
So we are going to give you the ultimate guide to the season which will catch you up with everything about the Broncos needed to make you the smartest fan at the water cooler.
First we have to go back to the 43-8 di-saster that was the Super Bowl. Denver was completely outclassed and manhandled by a Seahawks team that was simply tougher.
Therefore John Elway’s fi rst priority of the offseason was attempting to solidify the defense by adding several high priced free agents on the defensive side of the ball.
The Broncos spent nearly $120 million on three players; defensive lineman DeMarcus Ware, cornerback Aqib Talib and hard-hitting safety T.J. Ward.
Elway is hoping these free agent addi-tions, plus the drafting of cornerback Bradley Roby with the team’s No. 1 draft pick, will be enough to add a toughness groove to Den-ver’s fi nesse roster.
Over the OTA (organized team activities) period and now through training camp Den-ver has managed to stay healthy and get nu-merous players back who didn’t participate in the Super Bowl.
Von Miller, Chris Harris, Kevin Vickerson, Derek Wolfe and Rahim Moore were all de-fensive starters for Denver who missed the Super Bowl due to injuries.
Pair the fi ve up with the four new defen-sive players and the Broncos literally have an entirely different looking defense than the one that played in the Super Bowl.
On the offensive side of the ball Denver lost a pair of offensive players in Eric Decker and Knowshon Moreno that were great con-tributors to last season’s campaign.
However, the team might just be better
with the additions of free agent receiver Em-manuel Sanders and the emergence of Mon-tee Ball.
Sanders will add a down-the-fi eld deep threat that the Broncos didn’t have, adding another dimension to an offense that statisti-cally was the best in NFL history last season.
Ball on the other hand is a different story. He was one of the greatest collegiate running backs of all-time at Wisconsin but the fact re-mains that Ball is still an unproven product in the NFL.
Not only does Ball need to run the ball effectively but he needs to contribute in the passing game as well. And most importantly, he must protect Peyton Manning in pass pro-tection.
The franchise fully believes in Ball, to the point where they did not bring in a veteran running back in case he struggles. But the running back position is a concern for this team.
Regarding Denver’s schedule, it might not be as easy to get to 13 wins as it has been over the past two seasons.
The Broncos have to play the NFC West (Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, St. Louis Rams and Arizona Cardinals) which was the NFL’s toughest division last season. All four of
those NFL West teams could be considered as having top-eight defenses in the league this season.
Moreover, the Broncos also have to play the Indianapolis Colts (who beat them 39-33 last season), the New England Patriots and the Cincinnati Bengals, as well as their own AFC West Schedule.
Therefore, Denver might go from 13 wins last season to 11-12 wins this season, which could mean they might have to go to India-napolis or New England in the AFC Champi-onship game.
However, because of their brutal sched-ule there is a chance that the Broncos could come out more battle-tested and prepared to face whichever NFC team comes out of that conference.
Lastly, karma in sports is a powerful thing and the Broncos might be due to receive a little this season.
Denver was devastated with injuries last season that fi nally caught up with them in the Super Bowl. But if the Broncos can catch up with the Seahawks in the 2015 Super Bowl, it will be something we will have to sit back and watch play out.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF AUG 4, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Technology snafus tax your patience. But before you throw that computer or oth er bulky hardware into the trash, take a deep breath and call someone knowledgeable for help.
TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Don’t be too upset if your generosity goes unappreciated. These things happen, and rather than brood over it, move on. A new friend could open up some exciting new possibilities.
GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A loved one helps you get through an especially difficult emotional situation. Spend the weekend immersed in the body and soul restorative powers of music and the other arts.
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You are pretty much in charge of what you want to do this week. However, it might be a good idea to keep an open mind regard-ing suggestions from people you know you can trust.
LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Another chance to shine (something always dear to the Lion’s heart) might be resented by others. But you earned it, so enjoy it. The weekend brings news about a family member.
VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A suggestion that never took off could become viable again. Dust it off, update it if necessary, and resubmit it. In your personal life, a new relationship takes an “interesting” turn.
LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Confronting a new chal-lenge to your stated position could work to your ad-vantage by settling all doubts once you’re able to pres-ent a solid defense backed up by equally solid facts.
SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You enjoy doing nice things for others. But this is a good time to do some-thing nice for yourself as well. You might want to start by planning a super-special getaway weekend.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Some changes you feel you need to make might be reasonable and appropriate. But others might lead to new problems. Think things through carefully before you act.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Good instincts usually keep the sure-footed Goat on the right path. So, what others might see as stubbornness on your part, in fact reflects your good sense of what is worth supporting.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A period of intro-spection could lead to some surprising conclusions -- and also equally surprising changes -- involving a number of your long-held positions on several issues.
PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) The financially practi-cal Pisces might want to take a sensible approach to spending as well as investing. Being prudent now pays off later. A romantic situation moves into another phase.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of curiosity keeps you continually alert for what’s new about people, places and things.
I love the fact that I’m 52 and still playing in a rock band -- it’s awesome, why would you stop?
Do you miss the ‘90s?A: I had a good time in the
‘90s, but no. I’m not really one of those people that, like reminisces.
There’s a healthy dose of nostal-gia, you know, I’ll hear a song an old Beatles song, that will take me back to an image of where I was at that time. A lot of my music will do that and music from the 90s will do that.
What was your inspiration for having formed the Summerland Tour?
A: Two things, really. I wanted to showcase all these bands that
have huge hits in the 90s and were great bands but that were still bands, you know?
They were still playing, still making records. Not because they were getting played on the radio and making so much money, they do it because they had to — because it was what was inside of them and they couldn’t do anything else.
Secondly, I wanted to give a tour to the fans that would have
a lot of hits, a lot of new songs by cool bands and a lot of value.
What’s your favorite thing about touring?
A: Sleeping in my bunk. Any-one will tell you, they look claus-trophobic but it’s like a womb. I sleep better on tour than I do at home.
What makes your tour unique compared to other tours?
A: I think the criteria that I im-
pose on it. A lot of the other tours with 70s, 80s, 90s bands (I call them ‘Mothball Bands’) they don’t really play very often. They sit at home, wait for their royalty checks and come out in summertime and just play their hits.
All these bands, including us, are still bands that write songs and record them and still chase the carrot and still have the fire in our belly, and that’s different.
