Artisan Fair a Colorful Event Sidewalk chalking colorful and imaginative By Lou Ellen Bromley [email protected]
The second Artisan Fair of this summer was full of color and imagi-nation with local business and visi-tors using chalk to create artwork in the sidewalks of Brighton.
Saturday’s perfect weather prom-ised the work would last through the day, giving downtown visitor’s a chance to enjoy the talents of the art-ist while taking the opportunity to

Businesses show appreciation for customers My Car Wash, Mile High Glass host car show By Lou Ellen Bromley [email protected]
Neighboring businesses with a mutual in-terest in cars decided to combine milestones into a singular celebratory event.
My Car Wash and Mile High Glass com-bined the cars wash’s 7th anniversary and the glass repair shop’s grand opening at an event held last Saturday.
The event included free food, a car show and several drawings for prizes.

County increases permit fees Fees have not been revised since 1994 By Tammy Kranz [email protected]
For the fi rst time in more than two de-cades, Adams County has increased fees for permits and associated work for its planning and development, neighbor-hood and transportation departments.
The Adams County Board of Commis-sioners unanimously approved the rate increases — and in some cases, establish-ing a fee for services — during their regular June 24 meeting.
“It’s important to note that these fees have not been revised since 1994, which is roughly about 21 years,” said Deputy County Manager Ray Gonzales. “In many cases, Adams County charges signifi cantly less than any other counties and cities in the metro area for these services.”
He added that no fees had been charged for a number of these services. The rate in-creases went into effect July 1.
The county is using a phased approach to implement any fees that will be in-creased by more than fi ve times.
The second increase for these services will be Jan. 1, 2015.
District 3 Commissioner Erik Hansen said it was reasonable to charge for these services and that increasing the fees will not scare off business.
“It’s unfortunate that it creates a little bit of a sticker shock, so I appreciate what you’re doing in terms of phasing it in for certain people, but you know at the end of the day we’re talking about specifi c fees for specifi c purpose — building permit fees, storm water inspection fees — in some cases we weren’t charging for fees for any-thing whatsoever when everybody in the metro area was charging these fees,” he said.
Some of the services that were not be-ing charged before, but now have a fee, in-clude commercial building permits ($65 at fi rst, then another increase Jan. 1 to $130), residential building permits ($45), memo-rial sign program ($100) and storm water permits ($200).
Increased fees include conditional use permits, which have doubled to $1,000; sign permits from $75 previously to $200; and special use permits from $100 to $500-$700.
“Based on the current average permit volumes, the new permit fees are estimat-ed to generate an additional $415,000 an-nually,” Gonzales said.
Staff will start doing annual reviews of these fees to keep up with neighboring municipalities.
“A lot of people when I’m out cam-paigning always say they want govern-ment to run like a business and that you need some kind of business sense to be able to run the budget,” said District 1 Commissioner Eva Henry. “I don’t know of any business that hasn’t raised their prices or fees in 21 years.”
The permit fees only apply to projects in unincorporated Adams County.

Dedicated gardeners grow together As Carol Ford makes her coffee in the
quiet of early morning, she never fails to take in the view out her kitchen window — of a metal, neighborhood mailbox framed, these days, by draping trumpet vines and blooming roses along a weath-ered wood fence.
“I love to look at the flowers when I look at the mailbox,” she says. “It inspires me. … And Larry’s always out there, looking and pulling out the weeds.”
Larry Davis, 77, is always out there, snipping spent branches and blooms with his pocketknife and clearing away offending trespassers. So, too — but later in the day (Larry is the early riser) — is his wife, Deanna, 73, sitting on her stool, digging in the dirt, minding the beds with motherly care.
Come spring, just like the crocuses bursting through the ground after a season of hibernation, Larry and Deanna emerge to tend to their garden, a visual delight that has, over the years, persuad-ed some driving by to stop and roll down their windows to express appreciation.
“Oh,” Larry tells them, “if you like the front, you must see the back.”
And you must.But before you step under the trellis
that Larry built and past the small stone frog that says, “Welcome to our garden,” you should remember once there was nothing on this corner plot of land in the middle of tract-home suburbia.
“It just evolved. We just kept adding …,” Deanna says. “I don’t think either of us could do it alone.” She smiles. “We’re getting to the point we’re not going to be able to do it together.”
Larry and Deanna moved into their Highlands Ranch home in 1994. Their first planting: three locust trees.
“We wanted shade,” Deanna says.Larry built the six-foot fence around
the yard, a few times parking his car in the street at night and turning on the headlights so he could finish.
They both worked at the time, she as
a Realtor, he as a tool design engineer for Lockheed Martin, so they hired someone to plan the yard. And in 1995, the basic layout was planted.
They married, each for the second time, in 1996, in their back yard, with 100 guests. The pond for the goldfish and water lilies happened in 1999, the year they retired. Larry later built the spa-cious, graceful deck next to the pond and the oval bed in the front.
And, slowly but surely, the garden kept growing, reflecting not only the shared passion of creating something beautiful, but also their individual per-sonalities. She likes neat and orderly. He likes unusual and a little messy.
Deanna, originally from the San Fran-cisco area, brought the Japanese maples, dwarf evergreens and Asian-inspired contributions. “All the Japanese stuff,” she says, “is kind of my heart.”
Larry, from Iowa, brought the strange, unique plants like the rare-for-America hocksweed, and the full-bodied peonies, which in the Midwest are frequently planted in cemeteries. “They bloom around Memorial Day,” he says. “A lot of people plant peonies so there are flowers on the graves.”
Today, the gardens contain hundreds of varieties of plants. Deanna and Larry each spend about 20 hours a week caring for them.
Now, step under the trellis. This is some of what you’ll see:
Raspberries, blackberries and grapes tumble along the back. Succulents root in lava rocks by the pond, inhabited by
about 50 goldfish and several kinds of delicate water lilies. A weeping cherry droops over a small path. Red and green Japanese maples. Graceful purple clema-tis. Pink penstemons. Purple salvia. Delicate coral bells.
A congregation of herbs — basil, fen-nel, parsley, rosemary, oregano, mint — grows in containers near the kitchen window. A water fountain that was a wedding gift. A bird bath that belonged to Deanna’s mother. A twisted Harry Lauder’s walking stick bush.
Roses.“This one is like peppermint candy,”
Larry says, cupping a red-and-white-striped bloom in his hand.
The iron bench under the crabapple, where the yard bends, is one of Deanna’s and Larry’s favorite spots. The corner always seems to collect a breeze, and it’s good for enjoying the sights.
“It’s kind of a peaceful oasis,” Larry says of the back yard. “The birds like it.” He points up to a branch in a locust tree. “That little blue house has a family of wrens in it.”
The front, too, has its charm.Blue delphiniums - a neighborhood
favorite - stand guard near the trellis. A rock garden holds origanum — nick-named the wormy plant by Larry — and yellow Missouri evening primrose, whose blooms last just one day, trail along its border. Snapdragons in every color reseed every year.
There’s the fuzzy lamb’s ear the pre-school children used to file down the street to feel. Larry’s new, small cactus garden next to the stairs. Deanna’s nine pots of coleus — with striking green and red leaves — on the stoop. And the ornamental pear tree by the driveway that blooms white, leafs out green, and, finally, turns a yellow-orange in the fall until the first storm strips the limbs bare.
“One year, for fun, we planted … the plant you like to eat?” Larry turns to Deanna.
“Artichoke.”
Larry nods and smiles. “People would say, `What in the world is that?’”
“People still ask us about that one,” Deanna says.
“We just did it for fun,” Larry says. “Just once.”
The garden, essentially, contains many of life’s basic ingredients. Change. Transformation. Anticipation. Joy. Death. Rebirth. This particular one is a work of love that seems to assure a certain order in the universe.
“When you’re finished growing your kids,” Deanna says, “there is a nurturing quality to growing plants.”
“I enjoy just seeing it every day,” Larry says. “It seems like something new is in bloom every day … when the first little crocus comes up, just to see this come to life in the spring, and then all summer blooming.”
And even though the garden belongs to Larry and Deanna, it has been a gift shared — sometimes unknowingly, other times directly — with the neighborhood.
Suzi Miller, a gardener herself who lives down the street, has taken home cuttings of water lilies and fennel for her yard. She can spend hours talking plants with Larry and Deanna.
“For someone like me, there’s so much to look at,” she says. “It gives me inspira-tion. …”
Joan McGill has lived across the street for 18 years.
“It’s just a joy to look at their beautiful garden,” she says. “If we could all slow down enough to enjoy the beauty.”
We should.Because if we did, Larry and Deanna
would be sure to invite us in.

Baking is sweet in Brighton, Maloney brings talent and dream to community By Michelle Boyer [email protected]
Cupcakes, wedding cakes, cookies and all sorts of other pastries are making their way into mouths of the Brighton commu-nity.
Lacey Maloney offi cially opened her ca-tering business, The Brighton Baking Com-pany, to the community on the day of Cul-ture Fest, June 7.
The 26-year-old was born in Durango and grew up in Missouri. She came back to Denver where she received her degree in Baking and Pastry Arts at Johnson and Whales. She trained and worked under a pastry chef at the Brown Palace Hotel and at the Denver Country Club. She was a pas-try chef at the Many Glacier Hotel at Glacier National Park in Montana and a pastry chef at Salt Bistro in Boulder. She also won “Best of Boulder” for her pastries.
“I’ve always loved to bake,” Maloney said. “My mom makes really good chocolate chip cookies, and growing up all the neigh-borhood kids would eat them all. I also have fond memories of my grandmothers. They both are good bakers. Their houses would always smell of either cinnamon or choco-late. Baking is just so comforting,” she said.
Maloney has already incorporated bak-ing with her mother’s chocolate chip cookie recipe and makes a lot bigger banana bread recipe that also was her mother’s. She wants
to incorporate some of her grandmothers’ recipes in the future. She said she cherishes her family’s special recipes.
Her mother, Elisabeth Maloney, said her daughter’s artsy side just comes out in her baking. “I just see her art in her creations. She used to draw and paint, and that’s where she’s able to now shine through her cakes and other baking,” she said.
Maloney makes everything from scratch and for many of the recipes she’s acquired over the years, she fi nds ways to tweak them with fl avors making them her own.
“Lacey is happiest when in the kitchen with a rolling pin,” Maloney said. “She’s does anything to be in the kitchen. Just hav-ing her hands in the dough, and envision-ing the end product is what she likes to do. Baking is such a science, but so different from the culinary world.”
Maloney said she really enjoys working on wedding cakes or cupcakes.
“A wedding cake is a piece of art, and a cupcake is just really fancy…it’s all art,” she said. “You eat with your eyes fi rst. I want a person to look at it, and say, “Wow! That looks so good.” Then I want the person to eat it, and realize that it tastes just as good or better. It’s the whole experience.”
One thing that sets Maloney apart with her cakes and others, she said, is her Swiss meringue butter cream frosting.
“It’s light, fl uffy and smoother,” she said. “A lot of people tell me they don’t like frost-ing, but they say they like mine.”
Gordon Ramsey from “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Kitchen Nightmares”, and Paula Deen are both cook celebrities that Maloney has looked up to.
“Paula Deen had a similar start up to mine, and a lot of things I’ve done,” she said. “Gordon Ramsey is someone who’s just very in tune with what works and doesn’t work. He’s smart and gets to the point. He just tells it like it is.”
“My ultimate goal is to have a store front in town, where everyone can come to enjoy a pastry and a coffee,” she said. “I’d also like to have lunch available with homemade bread.”
Growing up in Missouri, Maloney has great memories of a place she visited called Huckleberry’s and that is a feeling she is try-ing to conjure at her bakery.
“It was a place we went to have ice cream or pastries,” she said. “I want that feeling in
my store. It will include children and special events. I just know that people have special childhood memories, and I’d like to imple-ment them through my shop eventually.”
She likes the signature nostalgic feel of the 1950s.
“I want it to be for anyone to come and be able to work on their laptop,” she said. “Starbucks today is just overrated and com-mercialized. I feel people would be recep-tive to local, fresh gourmet food and the people would know your name.”
The small town feeling that Brighton has is one of the main reasons that Maloney wanted to set up her shop here.
“We moved here because we wanted to escape the suburb life, here not one house looks like the other,” she said. “There are interesting people her, and it’s still not as commercialized here.”
Maloney and her family said they’re so blessed to be a part of the Brighton com-munity. “The town has been so welcoming,” she said. “It’s exciting, because we have so many people asking where we’re located. Hopefully, I’ll have a store front soon. Either way, I look forward to serving the commu-nity and delighting their palate.”
She said customers have also been im-pressed by her pricing because it wasn’t what they expected from a gourmet pas-try. Her website lists menus, pictures and prices. She has free delivery in the Brighton
area.People may contact Maloney via
her website www. brightonbakingco.com, phone number 720-301-7531, email: [email protected], or on Facebook.

Reigenborn, McIntosh face o� for sheri� Both longtime Adams County residents, Brighton graduates By Tammy Kranz [email protected]
The Adams County Sheriff’s race has come down to two Brighton High School graduates — Michael McIntosh and Rick Reigenborn.
Both the Republican and Democratic parties had two candidates vying for a tick-et spot for the sheriff race during the pri-mary election on June 24.
On the Republican side, McIntosh beat out Mark Nicastle with 51.89 percent of the vote, or 8,710 votes. Nicastle received 48.11 percent of the vote (8,076 votes).
On the Democratic side, Reigenborn beat out Norbert Larry Medina with 51.43 percent of the vote, or 8,131 votes. Medina received 48.57 percent of the vote (7,678 votes).
These are the unoffi cial results. The re-sults will not be offi cial until they are certi-fi ed on July 7.
McIntosh has lived in Adams County for nearly 40 years and graduated from Brigh-
ton High School. He served in the U.S. Navy before starting work with the Adams County Sheriff’s Offi ce in 1988 — where he is now the division chief of administrative services.
McIntosh said he had a great campaign team that helped him secure the Republi-can spot.
“That same team is more energized and ready for the upcoming general election,” he said.
Reigenborn has lived his whole life in Adams County and also graduated from Brighton High School. He volunteered as a reserve police offi cer for the city of Brigh-ton in 1987. He was appointed as a full-time deputy with the Adams County Sheriff’s Of-fi ce in 1991 — and is now a patrol sergeant.
“I’m excited and looking forward to it,” he said about the upcoming general elec-tion. “I think it’s a good change for Adams County.”
McIntosh and Reigenborn will square off in the general election Nov. 4.
The Sheriff’s Offi ce provides law en-forcement to the unincorporated areas of Adams County. Sheriff Doug Darr is term limited this year — he has been in offi ce since 2003.

Governor lowers odds on fracking session Potential bill on local control seeks compromise
By Vic Vela [email protected]
More doubt was cast recently on the possibility of a special legislative session on hydraulic fracturing, as Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 27 lowered expec-tations that lawmakers will meet over the summer to tackle this contentious issue.
Hickenlooper said in May that the odds were “50/50” that a special ses-sion would be held. However, on June 27, Hickenlooper told reporters that he thinks those odds are now “less than 50/50.”
“We’re still working on it as hard as we can,” the Democratic governor said. “I think we’ve got a product that’s pretty good, but there seems to be a political barrier there that we haven’t been able to get past.”
The “product” Hickenlooper was re-ferring to is a revised draft of legislation that would serve as the centerpiece for a special session.
The potential bill aims to strike a compromise on the issue of how much control communities have in dealing with fracking — the blasting of water, sand and chemicals deep into the earth to free up oil and gas.
As the November election nears, the move toward a legislative solution is growing urgent for interested parties. There are several fracking-related ballot initiatives that could end up making it to the ballot this fall.
So far, a handful of Colorado com-munities have taken action on fracking issues by placing drilling bans or mora-toriums in their towns. And, on June 24, Loveland voters narrowly rejected a bal-lot question that sought to place a two-year moratorium on fracking within city limits.
The draft bill grants communities the ability to dictate some aspects of oil and gas operations, and it has received the support of seven oil and gas companies.
“The legislative solution that you have put forward will ensure communities continue to have a voice in the regula-tion of oil and natural gas development, while protecting property rights, and supporting responsible energy develop-ment,” states a June 26 letter that was written to Hickenlooper on behalf of the seven companies.
“Your proposal will also help avoid ballot measures that, if adopted, would become constitutional provisions that leave no room for negotiation or com-promise, regardless of the circumstanc-es. We believe the legislature is the right place to work through these issues.”
Hickenlooper – a pro-fracking geolo-gist – would rather see all parties reach a compromise on local control issues at
the legislative level, instead of having voters decide on what could be a large number of ballot proposals in the fall, ones that would be spearheaded by anti-fracking advocates and financed in large part by Democratic Congressman Jared Polis.
“If you look at the potential conse-quences to having a $50 (million) to $75 million ballot initiative campaign fight between both sides ... that’s not neces-sarily a good thing,” the governor said. “It creates a divisive and bitter battle and no matter the resolution, the other side is going to come right back and be all over it next year.
“Things like this are much better solved in legislative solutions because you can come back and amend them easier the next year; whereas ... most stuff in the state Constitution, we don’t take out.”
But reaching that compromise is a whole other matter. On one hand there are significant economic interests asso-ciated with fracking. On the other, there are serious environmental concerns. That can be a tough balance to find in a place like Colorado, where the two sides of the argument have powerful backers.
Some anti-fracking advocates are voicing their displeasure with the draft legislation.
“I’ve read the proposal and I am ada-mantly against it,” said Laura Fronckie-wicz of Our Broomfield, an anti-fracking group. “What I saw is a huge step back-wards. This is a total giveaway to the oil and gas industry.”
Meanwhile, those on the other side of the divide are gearing up for what they believe is an imminent fight over drilling this fall.
“All signs point to a big, expensive, drawn-out election,” said Jon Haubert of Coloradans for Responsible Energy Development, a pro-fracking group. “We don’t have to wait for a special session. We can see the writing on the wall.”
Another key question is whether Re-publican lawmakers will support any compromise that limits oil and gas op-erations. And there’s no guarantee that a bill would earn enough support from conservative Democrats in the state Sen-ate, where the party holds a one-seat ma-jority.
Although he has lowered the odds of a special session occurring, Hickenlooper is still holding out hope for a resolution.
“If these guys (oil and gas companies) think it’s OK to give some local control to the community, maybe there should be a bipartisan solution there,” the governor said.
At the same time, the governor knows that time is running out on reaching that compromise.
“That ticking clock is loud in my head, that we are rapidly running out of time,” he said.

6 Brighton Banner July 3, 20146-OPINION
What’s y our favorite part of the Fourth of July? We asked folks strolling along 16th Street Mall last week what their favorite tradition might be for the most American of holidays.
“Kids laughing.” Andrew Stewart, Texas
“Explosions.” Will Schultz, Ohio
“Francis Scott Key’s anthem being sung on the national mall.” Rachel Carillo, Summit County/Lakewood
“Fireworks.” Amy Stewart, Texas
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Calling a halt to Facebook fatigue I’m declaring a moratorium on Face-
book.My time spent on Facebook is as
exhausting as it is exhilarating, per-haps even more so, with liking, shar-ing, commenting, and posting that can take hours a day. I’m not kidding. And I never imagined this would be me.
I came to this realization after two things happened recently.
One was that I actually took a photo of an artfully arranged plate of sushi and sashimi … with the intent of post-ing it. At the time, I even qualified it by saying: “I don’t usually post photos of food.” Hmmm …
The other was that I found myself vaguebooking … you know, when someone posts an enigmatic statement such as: “Feeling sad today.” When I come across these statements from my friends, I am tempted to ask, “Why? Why are you sad today?” But I usually don’t. I figure that if I were supposed to know, I already would.
So when I posted last week, “Yes … I’m stalling,” I was doing the same thing: vaguebooking an incident about which only a few people knew, and even fewer cared.
Please don’t misunderstand me – posting fabulous food (or cat or sun-rise or charming children) photos and making enigmatic statements are what makes social media, well, social. It’s the
competitive aspect of Facebook that’s wearing me out.
For example, I recently attended a writers conference that included casual lawn parties, intense class sessions, and appearances by renowned authors. The professional photographer captured the activities, as well as many of the partici-pants … with their mobile phones.
I could be sitting in the audience at a reading or chatting with a fellow writer, and before I even reached home that evening, photos were already uploaded to several Facebook pages. Then the race was on … who would be the first to “like” a post or photo, and, more importantly, how many likes and shares would it amass?
To assure that I was part of this mas-sive Facebook-fest, I used the running feed down the side of my own page to see who was liking what. When I spot-ted someone from the conference (and there were many) liking or commenting
on another attendee’s posts, I hurried to click on it myself, which then led me to like other posts that particular person was liking, and following those posts on to … well, you get what’s going on here.
Perhaps most revealing of all was that I became slightly obsessed with counting the number of likes on my own posts or those in which others had tagged me. And then I felt obligated to reciprocate by liking, sharing, and commenting on the posts of others. It seemed endless.
That’s when my Facebook fatigue set in.
So I’ve decided to pull the Facebook plug. Of course, it’s not reasonable to cut out Facebook entirely … I’ll just check in once, twice, or perhaps a few times a day. I’ll only post pithy quotes, poetry, and the occasional comment or photo or link or status or activity or video or quiz. I’ll follow my news feed – briefly – just to see what’s going on with my friends, and their friends, and maybe their friends.
It won’t take that long.

Campus gun ban e� ort ends Backers did not want e� ort to be political issue in the fall By Vic Vela [email protected]
An effort to ban the carrying of concealed handguns on college campuses ended June 26 out of supporters’ concerns that the issue could be used as a “political football” to im-pact the November election.
For months, backers of the campus gun ban had been collecting signatures in hopes of putting the issue to voters on this fall’s bal-lot. But supporters saw a political reality that caused them to pull the plug on their effort.
“In the last few weeks it became very evi-dent that last year’s gun violence prevention legislation was going to be a major campaign issue in many candidate campaigns,” Boul-der resident Ken Toltz, the founder of Safe Campus Colorado, said in an email to Colo-rado Community Media.
Toltz was referring to legislation that be-came law in 2012, including bans on high-capacity ammunition magazines and the creation of universal background checks on all gun sales and transfers.
The bills stirred passionate reaction from both gun enthusiasts and gun control advo-cates. The legislation passed the Democrat-majority legislature without Republican sup-port.
Another bill that would have banned con-cealed weapons from being carried on col-lege campuses was killed by a Senate sponsor
prior to it receiving a vote in that chamber.It is already illegal to carry concealed guns
on K-12 campuses.Toltz said that the decision to stop the sig-
nature gathering effort was not related to any lack of public support for the campus gun ban.
“The signature gathering was very suc-cessful on a statewide basis as the average voter agreed that concealed guns on college campuses is a bad idea,” he said.
Last year’s gun legislation led to recall elec-tions that ended up costing Democrats three seats in the state Senate — two Democrats lost in those recalls, while another resigned in the face of a recall.
Toltz did not answer directly when asked if he received any pressure from Democrats or other interested parties to stop the effort. But he did acknowledge the politics of gun control.
“Being non-partisan, we decided that our issue was too important to let it become a po-litical football,” he said.
Dudley Brown, who heads Rocky Moun-tain Gun Owners, said petition backers were wise to halt the signature gathering because another gun restriction effort would have “kicked the hornets’ nest.”
“I think they got phone calls from Demo-crats saying this is not a good thing for our candidates for offi ce because this will mo-tivate gun owners in droves,” Brown said. “Democratic operatives know that this is a dangerous thing for them to do, to tinker with this.”
ADAMS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ON THE RECORD The Adams County Board of County
Commissioners voted on the following during its June 17 and June 26 regular meetings.
Chip Seal ProgramThe board unanimously approved an
agreement June 26 with A-1 Chip Seal for the county’s 2014 Chip Seal Program in the amount not to exceed $717,992.04. The seal program is an annual main-tenance program and this year it will chip-seal more than 30 lane miles in six areas of Adams County. Some of those areas include West 88th Avenue, just past Lander Street to Federal Boulevard, Im-boden Road near East 72nd Avenue and parts of Woodchest Street and a portion of East 88th near Headlight Road.
Real estate broker servicesThe board unanimously approved a
brokerage services agreement with Guid-ance Corporate Realty Advisors June 26. The county has previously contracted with Norman DeHart of this company for real estate broker services for some of the lease and real property transactions for various county projects. This contract has expired and the county would like to retain DeHart on a commission basis for the current and future lease and real property transactions, including acquisi-tion of the property at 1200 W. 120th Ave. Any future transactions will be brought back to the board for review.
Miscellaneous concrete programThe board unanimously approved an
agreement with H & A Concrete Sawing LLC for the 2014 Miscellaneous Concrete Program for $324,247. This program is an annual maintenance program aimed to improve the safety of sidewalks by re-
placing the ramps to meet the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) requirements and replacing the broken curbs and gutters to improve drainage and prevent damage to the paved streets.
Fiber optic installation at fairgroundsThe board unanimously approved, as
part of its consent agenda, an agreement with Communication Construction & Engineering Inc. for a fi ber optic instal-lation between the Government Center and Adams County Regional Park not to exceed the amount of $212,305.76. The fi ber network will provide adequate bandwidth required to accommodate the future installation of a public wireless network at the fairgrounds, to provide internet access to the public via the county’s internet service provider at the Government Center. This will allow county employees at the fairgrounds to
access network resources at the center more quickly and effi ciently.
Front Range board appointmentThe board unanimously approved in
their consent agenda June 17 to appoint Mark Goodman as a member to the Front Range Airport Advisory Board. His term will expire Jan. 31, 2018.
Commissioners on board are Chair-man Charles “Chaz” Tedesco, District 2, Eva Henry, District 1, and Erik Hansen, District 3. Hansen was absent during the June 17 meeting. The next regular board of county commissioners meeting will be at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, July 8, in the Public Hearing Room, Adams County Govern-ment Center, 4430 S. Adams County Parkway, Brighton.

Free produce, giveaways at fair Health and produce fairs set for July 18, Aug. 15 By Tammy Kranz [email protected]
Learning how to make healthy choices can be a daunting endeavor, but the city of Thornton and its partners are trying to make that easier.
On June 29, the fi rst of three summer Health and Produce Fairs took place from 9-11 a.m. at Church of Gods 7th Day, 9375 Gaylord St. in Thornton. The fair featured about 17 booths aimed at educating people how to live healthy and there will be plenty of giveaways including fresh produce and vegetables, bike helmets, fruit-fl avored water samples, adhesive bandage kits, chapstick and more.
“Our goal is to show our community that making health choices can give them a better quality of life,” said Jaylin Stotler, community services coordinator with Thornton.
Every year the city of Thornton teams up with the Food Bank of the Rockies, Cooking Matters and Tri-County Health Department to coordinate the fairs, which is designed to give people access to fresh fruits and veg-etables and learn about other community
resources available.Several booths offer activities for children,
coloring stations, learning how to plant seed-lings and giveaways — however the focus is on health so junk food will not be given out, Stotler said.
“We won’t be giving out candy — it’s not that type of exhibit or trade show that way,” she said. “But it’s for the whole family — we want to make it fun for kids and teens.”
This year professional skateboarder Uriel Luebcke will be at the Testicular Cancer Soci-ety booth to sign autographs while informa-tion will be available for young males to learn about the disease.
“We think having this professional skater come out will be intriguing to our younger audience,” Stotler said.
A popular station is the food demonstra-tions, which will be done by the staff at CSU Extension this month and Cooking Matters in July and August. The food used in the cook-ing demonstration is what will be given out by Food Bank of the Rockies.
It is not known until the afternoon before each fair what the Food Bank will have in stock to give out — so it is a quick turnaround for the food demonstrators to create a recipe.
Maggie Kennedy, program coordinator with Cooking Matters, said the recipes are generally a summer salsa or lettuce wrap.
She said while a lot resource booths at the fair concentrate on access to produce and vegetables — Cooking Matters focuses on the education aspect.
“We want to educate people how to use those fruits and vegetables,” she said. “If you get an eggplant but don’t know what to do with it, what good does it do?”
Visitors to the food demonstrations get to eat a sample of the food and take a recipe card home with them.
People are encouraged to attend all three fairs — the other two are July 18 and Aug. 15, 9-11 a.m. at the Church of Gods 7th Day.
There are no residential or income level requirements.
The fairs are in need of volunteers, if you are interested you can sign up at www.volun-teerspot.com/login/entry/1114974290072. For more information, contact Stotler at [email protected].

FAC dives into ‘La Belle Époque’ in summer exhibit
By Clarke [email protected]
Paris has been the center of more than one artistic explosion over the years, and generation after generation have journeyed to the city to participate in their own pivotal epoch.
One of the most well known artistic eras is the avant-garde “La Belle Époque,” which arose dur-ing the turn of the 19th century and introduced artists like Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edouard Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard, Juan Gris, and Mary Cassatt.
The Foothills Arts Center is giving art lovers a chance to revisit this wonderful age of art with its exhibit, “ Toulouse-Lautrec and La Vie Moderne: Paris 1880-1910.”
The exhibit will be at the FAC, 809 15th St. in Golden, through Aug. 17. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday noon to 5 p.m.
“We are excited to have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring these rare works of Toulouse-Lautrec and his contemporaries to downtown Golden and present art at an international level in a local and intimate venue,” said Mary Ellen Wil-liams, Executive Director of FAC.
The exhibit highlights the work of Toulouse-Lautrec while featuring works from 94 of his contemporaries and taps into the various different avant-garde movements, from Realists, Naturalists and Symbolists to Nabis, and Incohérents.
“You get to see the great variety of the works, the subjects, the colors,” said Marianne Lorenz, curator of FAC. “Almost all of the works we have on display are paintings and works on paper.”
Lorenz added that the work of Tolouse-Lautrec and his contemporaries forged the way for future artists like Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons by eras-ing the boundaries between high art and popular culture.
The works come from private and public collections in Holland and France in an array of media: paintings, watercolors, drawings, rare zinc shadow puppet silhouettes, and illustrated pro-grams for the famous Chat Noir cabaret shadow
theatre. The lenders include the Gemeentemuse-um, The Hague; the Musee d’Ixelles, Belgium; the Stichting Het Kattenkabinet, Amsterdam; and Pri-vate Collections in The Netherlands and France.
To spread information about the artists and the era they lived in, FAC will be hosting several spe-cial events throughout the exhibit’s stay, includ-ing lectures from Lorenz, tours and film show-ings of “Moulin Rouge” and “Midnight in Paris.”
One of the more
unique events will be Absinthe in the Era of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec at the Golden Moon Speak-easy, 1111 Miner’s Alley. The event is 6-8 p.m. on July 31.
Stephen Gould, Proprietor and Distiller at Golden Moon Distillery and Golden Moon Speak-easy, will speak about the history and folklore of absinthe during the 19th century in France and Lorenz will discuss the culture and significance of Paris at the fin de siècle (turn of the century).
Lorenz described the time in French history as extremely lively and that shows up in artwork produced during these years.
“This is a great opportunity for people to come in and see some fabulous original prints,” she said. “We work really hard here at Foothills to show different kinds of art and contextualize them — these are beautiful things that you won’t see elsewhere.”

Skier’s sister had her own downhill run
Coloradans are familiar with the im-pressive sports career of Jeremy Bloom, the three-time world champion skier, two-time Olympian, 11-time World Cup gold medalist and member of the United States Skiing Hall of Fame. And when he wasn’t tearing up the slopes, Bloom was burning up the gridiron as a CU Buff and briefly as an NFL player.
But despite all of Jeremy’s sports accolades, his sister, Molly, was leading a quieter yet more colorful life as the owner/organizer of a high-stakes poker game for the rich and famous, includ-ing actors Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and billionaire Guy Laliberté, CEO of Cirque du Soleil.
“Molly ran her exclusive, top-secret, bicoastal poker ring for several years, keeping the details secret from even her closest friends and family — but now she’s finally showing her hand in her memoir, `Molly’s Game,’” which was released June 24, according to a story in The New York Post.
Molly Bloom grew up in Loveland, with her dad, a Colorado State Univer-sity professor, mom and two brothers.
“Months later, Bloom was heading to one of her games when a player texted her that the feds had crashed it looking for her,” the Post story says. “Bloom fled to Colorado, where she refused to talk to investigators, which resulted in her assets being frozen.
“The former high-roller lived a quiet life in Colorado until two years later, in 2013, when she moved back to LA and shortly after got a knock on her door from the FBI.
“She was charged, along with 30 oth-ers, with participating in two Russian-American organized-crime enterprises engaged in gambling and money laun-dering. (She says she had no idea about her players’ illicit dealings.)”
Molly, who was dubbed “the Poker Princess” by news outlets during the trial, avoided prison and was sentenced to one year of probation earlier this year.
“If I had to do it all over, would I choose the same path?” she writes. “My answer is yes, a thousand times yes. I had a grand adventure.”

elder-abuse reporting law goes into effectFinancial institutions must notify about suspicionsBy amy [email protected]
Colorado’s first mandatory report-ing bill for elder abuse took effect on July 1. The new bill requires any person who witnesses or suspects elder abuse in adults 70 or older to make a report to a local law enforcement agency.
Until now, Colorado was one of three states that did not make it a requirement for persons to report elder abuse. Since 1991, similar bills regarding mandatory reporting for elder abuse in Colorado failed seven times before the measure passed in 2013.
The Senate bill, sponsored by former Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster, ex-tends the definition of “any person” re-
quired to report abuse to include clergy and financial institutions.
“It’s only been voluntarily up to now, and especially in the financial indus-try it’s going to have an impact because they’ve never been mandatory reporters before,” Hudak said.
The Colorado Bankers Association, a trade group for 152 banks in the state, was part of the task force organized by Hudak to look at costs to implement the bill, which were estimated to be around $5 million.
“We have really always operated with our customers’ best interest in mind. This requirement is not off-putting or isn’t something we didn’t want to do,” said Jeff Asher, compliance officer for FirstBank. “It’s a very positive bill for the industry. Across the nation it is a fairly standard expectation.”
Other mandated reporters, such as clergy, already have experience in this area, due to the mandatory reporting bill for child abuse.
“Elder abuse is a huge, huge prob-lem in our country,” said Scott Storey,
senior chief at the First Judicial District Elder Abuse Unit in Jefferson County. “It is under-reported, under-investigated, under-prosecuted.”
During a seminar at the Jeffco DA’s of-fice on June 25, Storey reported that el-der abuse has grown 150 percent in the last 10 years, with an estimated $2.9 bil-lion in annual financial loss by victims of elder financial abuse.
“I suspect it’s more than that because this crime is under-reported,” Storey said.
The Jeffco DA’s office is the only DA’s office which has an elder abuse unit. Since January of this year, law enforce-ment agencies have been receiving train-ing throughout the state on how to rec-ognize the signs of elder abuse. Through training, officers are being told to stop asking victims if they want to prosecute or if they want the suspect arrested.
Under the new bill, police shall notify a human-services agency and a district attorney’s office within 24 hours of re-ceiving an abuse report. Officers do not need the victim to sign a complaint or
sign a commitment to prosecute. Victims do not have to agree with any charges that may be filed against the person or persons who may have abused them fi-nancially or through neglect.
While reports to law enforcement can-not be made anonymously, the bill does have an immunity privilege attached for those who report possible abuse, in or-der to alleviate any fears of civil suits or liabilities for damage in civil action or criminal prosecutions.
Mandatory reporters, including the public, are urged to contact law enforce-ment if they suspect or witness elder abuse.
“You don’t have to be right,” Storey said. “It’s better to be safe than sorry.”
Although it is not the intention to fo-cus efforts on those who fail to make a report, willfully failing to make a report could result in a class 3 misdemeanor, up to $750 in fines and up to six months in jail.
Judge upholds state’s gun lawsConstitutionality, not wisdom, of statutes weighed by courtBy vic [email protected]
A federal judge on June 26 rejected a court challenge to gun restrictions that took effect last year, ruling that the new statutes do not infringe on the Second Amendment right to bear firearms, as was alleged by the plaintiffs.
The lawsuit was filed by several county sheriffs in Colorado, along with citizens and businesses.
The judge’s decision means that the con-troversial 2012 laws that created universal background checks on gun sales and trans-fers and banned high-capacity ammunition magazines will remain on the books.
The ruling was a victory for gun-control advocates who believe that the laws help to prevent the kind of mass bloodshed that oc-curred during the 2012 Aurora theater shoot-ing, which prompted the legislation.
“Today is an important day in the fight to keep our communities and families safe from gun violence,” Rita Schweitz of the Colorado Coalition Against Gun Violence said through an emailed statement.
But plaintiffs told reporters following the court ruling that they plan to appeal the judge’s decision.
“We believe (the judge) got it wrong as a matter of law,” said attorney Dave Kopel. “We think we have a very strong case in the Court of Appeals.”
The state of Colorado and Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper — who signed the bills into law — were named as defendants in the lawsuit.
Chief U.S. District Court Judge Marcia S. Krieger ruled that the law that bans ammu-nition magazines that carry more than 15 rounds “is not severe” in how it impacts a per-son’s ability to keep or bear firearms for self-defense purposes.
“... this statute does not prevent the people of Colorado from possessing semiautomatic weapons for self-defense, or from using those weapons as they are designed to function,” Krieger wrote in a 50-page opinion. “The only limitation imposed is how frequently they must reload their weapons.”
Supporters of the magazine ban law argue that the statute limits the would-be shooters’ abilities to get their hands on high-capacity magazines. They also argue that limiting the amount of rounds a person can fire allows time for victims to fight back or for law en-forcement to intervene while the shooter re-loads.
The plaintiffs argued that skilled shooters know how to reload quickly anyway, which mitigates the benefit of a “critical pause” dur-ing magazine reloading. However, Krieger rejected that argument, saying that, “a pause, of any duration, imposed on the offensive shooter can only be beneficial ...”
Krieger also took issue with a plaintiffs’ argument that those who are intent on com-mitting violence will simply ignore the law and obtain the magazines anyway.
“Hypothetically, this may be true, but the Court declines to speculate about the sub-jective intentions and means of unspecified criminals involved in unspecified gun vio-
lence,” Krieger wrote.As for the law that requires background
checks on all gun sales and transfers, the plaintiffs argued that the Second Amend-ment protects the borrowing of guns for law-ful purposes.
But Krieger disagreed with the plaintiffs’ interpretation of the Second Amendment.
“As repeatedly noted, the Second Amend-ment guarantees an individual’s right to keep and bear arms for the core purpose of defense of self and home,” she wrote. “However, it is not at all clear that the Second Amendment prevents the government from restricting the ability of persons to acquire firearms via tem-porary loans from others.”
The gun bills were the most controversial of all legislation that was passed by the Demo-cratic-majority Legislature last year. Testimo-ny and debate on the bills often dragged on for several hours and led to Capitol protests from pro-gun advocates as well as shows of support from gun-safety and victims’-rights groups.
The bills — which passed with no Republi-can support — had political ramifications for Democrats. The legislation cost Democrats three seats in the state Senate through of-ficeholders’ defeats in recall elections and the resignation of another in the face of a recall threat.
In her decision, Krieger acknowledged the polarizing debate over gun issues, but said that the court’s role has nothing to do with whether a law is popular. It only concerns it-self with the constitutionality of the law.
“Put another way,” Krieger wrote, “in de-termining whether a law is constitutional, this decision does not determine whether either law is `good,’ only whether it is consti-
tutionally permissible.”As is the case with all court challenges
to state laws, the case was defended by the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, which is headed by Republican Attorney General John Suthers.
“Like Judge Krieger, the Colorado Attor-ney General’s Office has never asserted that the laws in question are good, wise or sound policy,” Suthers said through a statement. “As it does in all cases, the AG’s Office has fulfilled its responsibility to defend the constitutional-ity of the Colorado law in question.
“The Attorney General’s Office fully ex-pects the case to be appealed and looks for-ward to final resolution of the issues as soon as possible.”
But plaintiffs insist that the laws — espe-cially the magazine limit ban — are unen-forceable and that Krieger’s decision doesn’t change that belief.
“I came out right away and said that these laws are unenforceable, so therefore I won’t enforce them,” said Weld County Sheriff John Cooke.
Meanwhile, the court ruling was hailed as a victory for those who have lost loved ones during episodes of gun violence.
Dave Hoover, a Lakewood police officer whose nephew, AJ Boik, was killed during the Aurora theater shooting, said the high-capac-ity magazine ban “can reduce the number of victims killed in mass shootings.”
“And as someone who has worked in law enforcement here in Colorado for over 30 years, I can tell you that limiting high-capac-ity magazines is a significant step in protect-ing our law enforcement officers in the field.”

Corner House closesThe Corner House, the Jefferson
Park eatery founded by Seattle Fish Co. “schoolmaster” James Iacino and cel-ebrated chef Matt Selby (Vesta Dipping Grill, Steuben’s, Ace), closed June 21, according to a story in Westword.
Within less than a year of opening, Selby split from the neighborhood eat-ery for unclear reasons. Selby is now the top toque at Central Bistro in LoHi.
Restaurant consultant and marketing maven Leigh Sullivan, who handles the restaurant’s public relations, became a part-owner, but according to Westword, the investment was too little too late.
The space has been taken over by an unnamed “up-and-coming” chef, who will reopen with a new concept.

Sisters spark in Triple Crown softball tournamentBy Michelle [email protected]
Two Brighton High School sisters will take part in the Triple Crown competitive softball sport with the annual Sparkler Tournament.
Ayla and Carley Robison are no new-bies to the tournament, each will play with their competitive teams this week and in addition Carley will play in her first All Star game on Tuesday.
“I’m very excited,” Ayla said. “These tournaments always get me pumped up, there’s some great competition. There are also so many teams, college coaches and parents who make the environment amazing.
“Not every club team plays, but there are a lot, once the tournament gets close towards the end, you see the best of the best.”
Ayla plays third base for the Havoc team, and overall has been playing soft-ball for three years. Carley has played competitively six years, and this year is playing center field, second base and shortstop. She also occasionally pitches whenever her team, the Colorado War-riors 98’ needs her.
“I love competitive softball because it’s a great opportunity to keep in shape and also get to know other girls,” Ayla said. “My favorite part about competitive is that you get to travel while playing the game. High school ball is also a great ex-perience, because it gives a much differ-ent insight than competitive ball. Many girls are more intimidated and much more serious about high school ball, but at the same time it’s tons of fun playing with girls who you get to see each day at school.”
Ayla believes whether it’s high school or club ball, it’s still the same game you’re playing, just in a different setting.
“Club ball helps with conditioning be-cause you’re constantly busy, constantly making yourself better and I love the fact that it allows me to play all year,” she said.
Playing in the All Star game this year, Carley is excited. “I can’t wait to be able to show what I can do,” she said. “It gives me an extra opportunity to be seen by
college coaches because there are many of them there looking at what is out there.”
This is the first year both sisters aren’t play together on the same team.
“I personally didn’t realize how much I love playing with my sister until I wasn’t playing with her anymore,” she said. “Neither of us wants to be that sister that
ends up not being as good as the other so having her there pushes me to work even harder than I thought I could. It also is great having a sister on the field with me because it makes me think that the two of us connect in a way that others don’t. We can read each other’s minds, and tell what we want to do even if we haven’t done it yet.”

Golf camp more than just swingsBrighton High School golf camp results in success for athletesBy Michelle [email protected]
The first summer golf camp held last week at Coyote Golf Course proved great dividends.
The program, which is hosted by Brighton High School, had 17 partici-pants — many who are golf athletes at the school and some younger children too.
“I truly think this camp revealed the people who care about not only their game but the better of the team,” said BHS junior Audrey Kobi. “It was a good sign when I saw new faces of kids. It gives me optimism that this organization is being passed onto kids who care just as I do.”
This was Kobi’s first golf camp and she said it was a learning curve but provided a good time with healthy competition.
“It also reinforced quality over quan-tity,” she said. “Not only did this camp help my swing, but it helped my game management and my mentality of the game.”
Her favorite part of the three-day camp was not only learning new faces, but learning new tricks and shots to bet-ter her game.
Kobi said she believes the camp taught her a lot and she said she is looking for-ward to next season. “I’m very optimis-tic,” she said.
Her best round of golf was a 92 which she golfed at Harmony Golf Course. “That day I remember the feeling of be-ing on my “A-game”, she said. “It’s like no other.”
She said the most captivating aspect of golf is how one day you could play the best round of your life, and the next could be the hardest all on the same course.
“It’s difficulties that are beauties with-in the sport,” Kobi said. “I truly do enjoy this sport.”
Ryan Kropp, has played golf for three years. The junior said his best score is 74.
He too said he took away lots of things from the golf camp.
“I gained the capability to be versatile with more clubs and how to use more shots during the camp,” he said. “I be-lieve it helped me so I can take what I’ve learned and will use it to get better dur-ing the offseason so I can be better dur-
ing the regular high school season.”Kropp said many of his teammates
also participated in the camp. He feels like it helped them as much as the camp helped him.
“I felt like the couple of kids that were not in high school yet, at the camp, they progressed towards a better future and
learned what the program will be like for them in high school,” he said. “It was a positive experience for them to get to know what high school competitiveness can be like.”
Kropp said the camp was more in-structional and it served its purpose well.
Last week 17 Brighton High School golf athletes and younger kids interested in the sport of golf participated in the first ever summer golf camp provided by the BHS golf program. Photo by Michelle Boyer

Hogs and Dogs, o� er learning and fun First Brighton High School football camp of the summer, o� ered to youth By Michelle Boyer [email protected]
The Brighton High School Bulldogs are hosting their first “Hogs and Dogs” football camps this summer.
“We’re very excited to offer these camps,” BHS offensive line Coach Edwin Baker said. “It’s a great opportunity for a young player to get better in a fun com-petitive environment.”
The Hog camp will teach key funda-mentals for successful offensive line play, in a fun, structured and a competitive environment. The camp is designed to
improve the following key fundamentals: Stance, Footwork, Aggressiveness, Drive blocks, Double teams, Pass protection.T
he camps will happen over two days: July 10 through July 11. Hogs will be 9 a.m. until noon. The Dogs camp will be 1-4 p.m., both days at the Brighton High School Football Stadium.
Cost of each camp is $25 or $40 to at-tend both camps. Campers will receive a T-shirt.
The Dog camp is for young defensive linemen who want to compete and par-ticipate in a high intensity, fun learning environment. The “Dog’s” will focus on: Stance, Fighting off blocks, Relentless pursuit of the ball, Tackling, Pass rush.
All kids are welcome who are inter-ested in learning more about how to play football.
“Our camp will teach the typical ‘non’
skill positions, the importance they have in football, and taking pride in the work they do as the Hogs (offensive linemen) and the Dogs (defensive lineman),” Bak-er said.
Baker said the camp is also recom-mended for youth coaches who are look-ing for drills to teach the fundamentals of blocking and playing defensive line.
The camp will also include some com-petition.
“It’s important to learn all there is about playing competitively,” Baker said.
“Also players will learn to stay slow, how to get into stance and use their hands instead of their head and body when tackling. We are a part of the tack-ling initiative for USA football, and will teach proper tackling technique. With-out proper tackling, it becomes the ma-jor cause to concussions.”
During the two days, Baker said there’ll be a lot expected from the camp-ers. “It’ll be a fun up-tempo style camp, with a focus on teaching a progression of fundamentals to make the athletes better,” he said. “The most important things I want campers to take away from this camp, is that they had fun and they learned the value of hard work.”
BHS football players will help with the camp.
“It really helps the high school ath-letes to get their community service completed with what they like to do,” Baker said.
Walk in registrations will be accepted the day of the camp, but participants may pre-register by emailing Baker at [email protected].
World Cup lacrosse, shines near home By Michelle Boyer [email protected]
All eyes will be on Commerce City, July 10-19, when the city serves as the “Official Competition City” for the 2014 Federation of International Lacrosse World Championship.
“It is really a once in a lifetime oppor-tunity for residents,” Prairie View Highs School lacrosse Coach David Pucul said. “While the US, Canada game is billed as the highlight of the event (it takes place on the first night), there’ll be plenty of chances to see some top notch lacrosse and join in the camaraderie of an inter-national tournament of this size.”
Besides the US and Canada, other top teams to watch are Australia, England, Ireland and the Iroquois Nation (the cre-
ators of the modern American sport).Dicks Sporting Goods Stadium in
Commerce City, 6000 Victory Parkway, will host the event.
“If you’ve never been there, it’s com-prised of a main stadium, and what seems like hundreds of soccer and lacrosse fields surrounding it,” he said. “This year the tournament will be broken up into several sections. The top divisions of in-ternational teams will play their games in the stadium, while younger more de-veloping countries will play their games on the turf fields outside. In addition to the international play, there’ll be a ‘free half.’”
“This will utilize the remaining fields to host a youth tournament ranging in age from 9-and-under to 19-and-under. These teams are from all over the coun-
try, and will feature some of the bright-est future stars from across the country including several high school All-Ameri-cans and top collegiate prospects.”
The youth tournament will run along-side the first half of the international tournament. After the young tourna-ments are done, there’ll be a men’s club tournament taking place on the free fields.
“These teams traditionally compete in the Vail Shoot-Out, one of the big-gest summer tournaments in the nation, but this year they’ll play at Dicks,” Pucul said. “Ages for this tournament range from recent college grads, to older than 60. They’re divided by age, skill, level and many teams include pro-players from the MILL and NLL leagues. Both the youth tournament and men’s club tour-
nament are free to attend.”“Tickets for the international play
seem quite expensive (tickets start at $140), but keep in mind this is for nine full days of lacrosse,” he said. “The other cool thing about the tickets is that they’re transferable, so let’s say you wanted to at-tend the opening ceremony and the first two days, but couldn’t get out of work the rest. You could transfer or sell the other days on your ticket. For example, I’m planning on buying a couple tickets and sending some of my Prairie View players every day.”

host a customer appreciation day on its anniversary.
Aksamit explained that since purchas-ing My Car Wash, they have upgraded their washing equipment, providing quality soap products and improved the water pressure in the stalls at the south
Main Street location. Providing this kind of quality car
cleaning service has given them a loyal customer following over the past seven years.
Aksamit also has an additional car wash located in north Brighton.
Scot Ancker, along with his wife Bren-da, own Mile High Glass at 501 South Main St.
Ancker said, “We have owned this business in Brighton for over a year, but
just moved to this location two months ago. This joint celebration with My Car Wash gives everyone a chance to come by and see our new location and enjoy some great cars.”
A free lunch of hot dogs, chips and drinks was provided to the guests visit-ing the car show.
During the day there were drawings for free prizes and giveaways.
Prizes were provided by both busi-nesses; these included one free wind-
shield, and certificates for windshield
chip repairs from Mile High Glass. My
Car Wash provided several gift cards, and
a car detail package as prizes.
Neighboring businesses, Brighton
Auto Detailing and Window Tint, also do-
nated a free auto detailing prize for the
celebration.
They are located directly behind My
Car Wash.
