Measure would help with tuition Low- and middleincome families would benefit from legislation By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com More than $30 million — money earmarked for education that has been sitting idle for four years — will be freed up to help low- and middle-income students pay for college, under a bill that passed the House last week. House Bill 1384 creates the Colorado Opportunity Pipeline Fund, which would provide needbased scholarships and Report grants for instate college students. The bill passed the House with unanimous support on April 24. The legislation now heads to the Senate. Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, a bill sponsor, said the bill would help students who may not qualify for existing need-based financial aid programs, because their household earnings exceed qualifying income standards. “What we often miss are those kids who are just on the bubble,” McNulty told the House Education Committee on April 21. “The kids whose families make just enough money that they don’t qualify for many scholarships and grants, but not enough money that they are priced out of college education.” McNulty said that “a significant portion” of the new scholarships will be dedicated to students whose incomes are 100 percent to 250 percent of the poverty line. The dollars for the new program would come from found money that has been buried in the state education budget since 2010. That money came about from the state’s sale of its College Invest Loan Portfolio, when it was moving away from providing state-backed college loans. Scott Wasserman, chief of staff to Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia, said the sale of the state’s loan portfolio required that the proceeds could only go toward tuition assistance, but that the accompanying language provided an “ambiguous mandate.” “This (bill) transfers the money and clarifies what the money is for,” Wasserman told the committee. The bill provides a one-time transfer of $33 million to the new loan pipeline. A newly-created board would determine how the money gets awarded. The bill includes a legislative declaration, which requests that the General Assembly provide fresh funding for the program each year. Rep. Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood, a bill co-sponsor, said the bill “is very personal to me.” Pettersen, who was the first member of her family to attend college, was overwhelmed with the tuition process and ended up paying her own way through college. “This is something that would have significantly helped me, especially as we see the cost (of college) continue to increase,” Pettersen said. “This is about making sure that some of our most vulnerable students are getting the wrap-around services that they need to get into school...”

Dads, daughters go dancing About 80 attend the special event at the recreation center By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Well-dressed young ladies accompanied proud escorts through the Englewood Recreation Center door to attend the April 25 Dad and Daughter Dance. This is the second year for the Dad and Daughter Dance. About 80 people attended the event, and the gymnasium that usually echoes with the sounds of

athletic competition was transformed for the night into a dance club. Other dance event preparations included greetings at the door and wrist corsages for the daughters. Just inside the door to the gymnasium, a popcorn machine was going strong and there was a table of refreshments inside the door. A short distance away, there was a backdrop where dads and daughters could have their pictures taken for free. Balloons scattered around added to the festive atmosphere and the individual playing the music set the tone with songs ranging from a slow ballad to an up-beat hip-hop song. During the two-hour event, there were contests with the winners getting prizes and, of course, there were partic-

ipation dances like the Chicken Dance. There was dancing but some of the young girls also found it more fun to chase and kick balloons or to dance with a girlfriend than to try to dance with dad. But there were also couples like Teri Crawford and her step-dad who were on the floor for most songs. “I got a new dress for tonight. Don’t you think it’s petty? I do,” the 7-year-old said as she and her step-dad headed to the floor to dance to another song. “I like music and I like to dance as I make up my own steps. Dancing with dad has been a lot of fun so far tonight.” Dancing continues on Page 9

World of homeless youths hits home From the apartment balcony, in the hours just past midnight, he could see beams of light from patrol cars cutting through the blackness in the grassy area near Denver Skate Park. Cops looking for the homeless, he guessed. A few hours later, as the day began to awaken, Nick Santulli, 18, and his two companions left their friend’s apartment to burn some time near downtown Denver before heading back to their suburban Castle Rock homes. A young man and his friends, their shirts stained with dirt, bulging backpacks on their shoulders, passed them on the sidewalk. “You guys want to come get some breakfast?” the young man asked. Without hesitation, a curious Nick said OK. A chance encounter. A risk taken. A turning point. The simple yes would build a bridge between two vastly different worlds and, in the end, make a difference in both. “It was the defining moment of my senior year,” Nick said. “It’s not necessarily changed my life, but it’s altered my life and how I see things and the kind of direction in which I want to live my life.” ••• On that early July morning, they caught a bus, then the light rail. A 30-minute trip to a brick building near the 16th Street Mall. A line of young people waited to step inside, where another 100 or so ate breakfast burritos in the kitchen or clustered in the lobby, seeking the simple comforts of food, sanctuary and fellowship. The sight of so many girls and boys in their teens and early 20s without a place to call home or a family to care for them struck Nick hard. As he sat at a table and ate, he asked questions and listened. Intently. A boy told him how he and his mother, although she was no longer in his life, had been on and off the streets for most of his 17 years. Another young man recounted how he’d jumped from foster home to foster home, from friend’s couch to friend’s couch,

finally, to the street. It was, Nick thought, the tales of heartrending movies and songs. When he returned home later that day, just 30 miles south yet so very far away, he brought their stories with him. “You wouldn’t guess where I ate breakfast this morning,” Nick said to his mom. “A homeless shelter.” ••• Urban Peak. It is the only nonprofit that offers a full convergence of services to homeless youths in the Denver and Colorado Springs areas. Last year, it helped 1,700 youths from 15 through 24 years of age, providing food, clothing, GED instruction and a multitude of other educational, mental health and job services. Its drop-in center is always busy, its 40-bed shelter usually full. A 2013 Denver-area survey found 921 youths on the streets. They are there for all kinds of reasons: physical, sexual and emotional abuse; parents who sell them for drugs and alcohol; mental illness. Some, at 18, have aged out of the foster care system. Others have been kicked out of homes because of their sexual orientation. The tragedies are staggering. As Dan Hanley, director of development and public affairs, recently said: “We are the voice of the 1,700 youth who don’t have one.” ••• In August, just after the start of the new school year, Nick — a passionate musician and shy transplant from Texas who favors shoulder-length hair and cowboy boots — sat in a circle of students on the floor of his newsmagazine classroom at Castle View

High School, sharing highlights from the summer. As he quietly described his encounter with the homeless, the staff became intrigued. The story inspired a theme for the first issue — “Going Outside the CVHS Bubble” — with Nick writing the main story about homeless teens. He reached out to Urban Peak, toured the facility, learned about its services. He later explored the grassy space near Denver Skate Park and the 16th Street Mall to find homeless youths to interview. “It was really hard to approach them,” Nick remembered. “I mean, I’m going to high school in Castle Rock and they’re on the streets in Denver.” He returned to Denver three times for more interviews to make sure he understood how to tell their stories. “It was weird at first,” Nick said of walking up to strangers to ask such personal questions. But “I would call it a pivotal moment in my life.” ••• On April 14, the school kicked off Make a Difference Week. More than 1,800 students crowded onto the gym bleachers. A selection process had winnowed about 10 charities and nonprofit organizations to three finalists, including Urban Peak, nominated by the newsmagazine staff. Students overwhelmingly voted it the recipient of this year’s fundraising efforts. The goal: $15,000, a few thousand more than needed to keep Urban Peak open for a day. “We want to turn this outside of our walls for one week,” student government adviser Bob Sutterer said to the students. “These are people just like you who are also talented, who also have great energy, who need a little bit of help.” Charlie Annerino, a representative from Urban Peak, walked to the middle of the floor. “A lot of times, they (homeless youths) feel like they don’t have any support,” he told the young audience. “Just looking around at this gym, that’s not true at all. … It is so powerful to see people your age care

about this issue and be passionate about doing something.” Mid-week, Annerino, Hanley and three others from the organization spent the day talking to 33 classes about the issue of youth homelessness. By the end of the week, students had raised $12,168. “It’s remarkable,” said Chris Weiss, Urban Peak’s development manager. “Castle Rock is 30 miles away from the epicenter of homelessness. To raise $12,000 for us is remarkable.” ••• In less than a month, Nick graduates. He is headed to college and a life, he hopes, where he has the opportunity to help others. It is an ambition nurtured by what evolved from a chance encounter with some homeless youths one early summer morning. “I didn’t imagine it would have been the major direction of my senior year,” he said. “If I hadn’t have done that article and done MAD Week, I probably wouldn’t have stayed on track as much. It kept me kind of headed straight, I guess.” Urban Peak, for its part, never imagined the kindness that would surge from a suburban high school in a community so removed from the everyday struggles of the discarded youths it serves. The connection, Weiss said, makes this world a better place. Nick wants to do more at Urban Peak in the coming year. “I’d really like to work in the kitchen,” he said. Where he first saw the reality of wounded humanity. And where this unfinished story of compassion began.

CRIME REPORT Man arrested for menacing Englewood police arrested a 36-yearold man suspected of felony menacing and assault. Police went to a house in the area of West Oxford Avenue and South Inca Street about 3:50 a.m. April 22 to investigate a

menacing report. Officers talked to a 36-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman about the incident. According to the report, the investigation determined the couple was arguing and, during the argument, the man allegedly pulled a knife and held it against the woman’s neck. He also allegedly head-

butted and choked the woman. The man was arrested and taken to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Detention Facility. He could face charges of domestic violence, felony menacing, assault and violation of a protection order.

Young burglary suspect arrested

When police investigated a report of a burglary, the investigation led to the arrest of a 10-year-old suspect. Officers went to the 4200 block of South Jason Street about 5:15 p.m. April 25 to investigate the burglary report. According to the police report, investigators determined the boy had previously broken a lock off a shed and stolen some items. Police were called when the boy allegedly returned and was trying to take additional items from the shed. Police arrested the boy and because of his age, he was released to his father until the investigation is completed and charges

determined and filed.

Fake prescription seized Englewood police arrested a 43-yearold woman who allegedly was trying to fill a forged prescription. Officers took the fake prescription as evidence. Employees of the drug store called police about 8 p.m. April 28 to report the incident. A store employee reportedly told officers the woman tried to fill a prescription for pain medication. The prescription was real but the number of pills prescribed had been altered from 20 to 120. Police questioned the suspect who then reportedly admitted changing the number of pills prescribed from 20 to 120. She was arrested and taken to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Detention Facility. She could face a number of charges related to the forgery.

Another prison reform bill, spurred by last year’s murder of a Department of Corrections director, is awaiting the signature of Gov. John Hickenlooper. Senate Bill 64 would prohibit prisons from placing inmates who have serious mental illnesses in isolated confinement, unless exigent circumstances persist. The bill aims to shed better light on mental health issues behind bars, especially since most inmates end up being released back into their communities after serving time. “These individuals, some of them have spent years in administrative segregation,” said Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, a bill sponsor, during an April 21 House Judiciary Committee hearing. Salazar’s bill — which has the support of the DOC and the American Civil Liberties Union — also creates a board that will examine issues pertaining to mentally ill inmates and isolated confinement. Denise Maes of ACLU Colorado told the committee that inmates can sometimes spend more than 20 hours of their day in solitary confinement, inside “cells that are a little bigger than a king size bed.” Those inmates, Maes said, are seven times more likely to commit suicide than those who reside in the general prison population. “This kind of confinement will only render one even more mentally ill,” Maes said. “I’ve often said, `If you are not mentally ill going into solitary confinement, you certainly will be when you come out.’” Ten percent of the Colorado prison population have serious mental illnesses,

while about 35 percent have at least some sort of mental health needs, according to Kelly Wasco, the DOC’s director of clinical services. Wasco said that the DOC, beginning with Clements and continuing with current director Rick Raemisch, has taken steps in recent years to reduce the numbers of prisoners with mental illnesses who are placed in solitary confinement. The department has implemented a program that moves inmates with mental health problems from isolated confinement to in-house treatment. What lawmakers and DOC officials all want to avoid is another Evan Ebel. Ebel spent much of time in prison in solitary confinement. Ebel was released and was suspected of gunning down former DOC director Tom Clements outside of his Monument home last year. Ebel — who was also suspected of killing a pizza delivery driver leading up to Clements’ murder — fled the state after the murders and was later killed during a shoot-out with Texas authorities. Lawmakers who support the legislation hope to prevent future cases like Ebel’s. “Some of these people, perhaps most of them, are going to be released at some point,” said Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs. “Because of that, it does invoke public safety considerations.” The bill passed the committee unanimously. It then received initial approval following a voice vote in the House on April 25 and formally passed the chamber, 63-2, on April 28. The legislation had previously passed the Senate unanimously, where it was sponsored by Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City. The bill is one of a few pieces of legislation introduced this year that has come as a result of Ebel’s murder; efforts that included a separate bill that toughens penalties on offenders who tamper with electronic monitoring devices while on parole.

Man allegedly claimed to be officer, flashed fake badge By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Englewood officers have arrested a man who was allegedly impersonating a police officer. Leslie DeWayne Simpson, 36, was arrested on the afternoon of April 18, after two people who were serving legal papers called Englewood police about 4:15 p.m. to report that a man had identified himself as a police officer and displayed a badge. Officers went to the 3200 block of South Broadway and located the suspect, later identified as Simpson. Simpson then reportedly identified himself as a bail bondsman. Police sources confirmed that bail bondsmen or their agents sometimes carry badges, but since

Simpson allegedly had identified himself as a police officer, he was arrested and taken to the Arapahoe County jail. Information indicates Simpson has a lengthy criminal history, including a previous arrest on a charge of impersonating a police officer. Simpson posted $2,000 bond and was released. He was in Arapahoe County Court on April 24 for an advisement of the charges he was facing. Simpson Magistrate Frank Moschetti advised Simpson he faced charges of impersonating a peace officer, a Class 6 felony. The magistrate ordered Simpson to wear an ankle monitor and to forfeit all badges in his possession. The bond was continued and the magistrate ordered Simpson to return to court on June 3 for an appearance-of-counsel hearing.

Show rewarding for young artists, families Works by students displayed at library By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com A hand pointing at the subject and the comment, “that one is mine,” were frequent occurrences during the April 24 reception for the creators of the works on display at the Englewood School District Art Show. Several hundred works created by Englewood student artists hang on the walls, on wires and in display cases throughout the Englewood Public Library. The reception officially opened the show, and the artwork will remain on display through May 5. The show is free and open to the public. The library is located on the ground floor of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. The show featured the creations of Englewood students ranging from kindergartners through seniors in high school. The works include paintings, drawings, sculptures and other media. Generally, the works are put up by school to make it easier for the artists and their parents to locate and view the student’s work. At the April 24 reception, Adelaide Fronapfel, 6, pointed out her picture that was hanging on the wall in the children’s section of the library. “I drew a rose because it reminds me of summer, my favorite time of year,” the

Students, families, school faculty and administrators went to the Englewood Public Library April 24 to take part in the Englewood School District Art Show reception.

Dominic Dever, 8, points to his artwork depicting an ear of corn that is on display at the Englewood Public Library as part of the Englewood School District Art Show. Clayton Elementary School student said. “I like to draw. I guess my favorite things to draw are dogs and cats. We have a dog and a cat so they are sort of models for me.” A short distance away, Dominic Dever was telling his mother about his drawing of an ear of corn. “Our art assignment was to draw corn,” the 8-year-old said. “I drew corn on a patchwork background sort of like a maze because I like the pattern. Art is sort of my

favorite thing to do. I like to draw and paint and the thing I like to draw and paint the most is Legos.” Jessica Terry and her family gathered in the area where the works of Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School artists were displayed, as the junior talked about her drawing of Johnny Depp. “I drew him because I have liked him in every movie role he has played,” she said. “I like art so much, I try to draw every day because I like to do it. I like drawing faces but it is hard. I think getting the eyes just right is the hardest thing to do.” She said she had a couple of her drawings hanging in her room, and her favorite is her drawing of a rose. Janae Bricker, an Englewood High School sophomore, located her drawing and pointed it out to her visiting grandmother.

“I decided to draw a rose,” she said. “I guess I chose the rose as my subject because I love flowers. I feel the drawing came out pretty good. If I could do it over, I’d probably move things a bit and add more shading.” She also said she loves to draw and her favorite subject is people’s faces. “I do pretty well drawing faces,” Bricker said. “I think the most difficult thing about drawing faces for me is to get the shape of the head and face right.” Heather Devine, Bricker’s grandmother, said art is a family tradition. “My mother painted porcelain and I learned from her,” the Alamosa resident said. “I paint porcelain pieces and glass lampshades. Janae’s mother also does artwork. She is an archaeologist and she uses acrylics to paint landscapes she has explored.”

For those who were adamantly opposed to a bill that would require parents to be better educated about child vaccinations, the possible final version of the legislation shouldn’t hurt a bit. What began as legislation aimed at increasing vaccination rates in Colorado wound up being a record-keeping access bill, with the state Senate on April 23 instead passing a watereddown version of an immunization awareness bill. The original version of House Bill 1288 would have required parents of school children to become better educated about the value of immunization before opting their kids out of vaccinations for personal or religious beliefs. Numerous changes were made before the bill made it to the Senate floor. Supporters say the bill still creates good policy because it allows parents to see vaccination records at schools and day care centers, to see how many children have received vaccinations for preventable illnesses like measles or whooping cough. That could be important information to a parent of a child with a weakened immune system. That child may

not be able to receive vaccinations and would be particularly susceptible to illnesses carried by other students whose parents opted them out of receiving immunizations. “This is really a service to medically fragile children,” said state Sen. Irene Aguilar, D-Denver, a bill sponsor. Bill supporters said that by schools being required to have immunization data available to the public, parents will be able to make better decisions as to where they send their kids to school. “This bill will have an impact on the (immunization) rates and will be able to protect children from vaccine preventable childhood diseases,” said Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk. But the bill has fewer teeth than when it was introduced in the House in February. The original bill would have required parents who want to opt their children out of being vaccinated to first consult with a doctor about the benefits and risks of immunization. It would also have required an opt-out child to watch an online video having to do with immunization benefits and risks. The original legislation received bipartisan support in the House, passing that chamber on a vote of 42-19. But after the requirements that were part of the House bill were stripped away by the Senate, Aguilar said she did not have the support to get the original bill through the Senate. Many Republicans like Sen. Owen Hill of Colorado Springs, still opposed

the bill, even after it had been stripped of much of the original language that concerned GOP members. Hill said that it’s not the government’s business to dictate to parents that their children should receive vaccinations that are “unscientifically proven.” “I am concerned that we’re setting a dangerous precedent here that somehow we know what’s best; that somehow we in this room can determine what parents should and shouldn’t be doing,” Hill said. The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 19-16, with just one Republican — Sen. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango — voting with all Democrats. Aguilar assured Republicans that she would not agree to the original requirements making their way back on to the bill, through work of a postpassage conference committee. Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, the House bill sponsor, said he needs to speak with Senate members “to see how firm they are on their position” before he decides whether to make changes to the bill in conference committee. Pabon was not pleased that the bill got gutted in the Senate, saying the legislation was a victim of “misinformation, innuendo and rumor.” “I think it’s extremely disappointing when you look at who is left unprotected in the Senate version of the bill — those children with immune compromised diseases who are going into facilities where there are huge numbers of unvaccinated children,” Pabon said. “They could be coming down with diseases that we’ve cured.”

Arapahoe County residents now can order specialty license plates through the state’s new Print on Demand system. Colorado has 133 different specialty license plates. The Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Office is among the first Colorado counties to issue specialty license plates through the new system. Requested plates will be made and mailed to the customer within 10 days of their visit to a motor vehicle office. Counties will still have an inventory of pre-made, standard green and white plates to distribute to customers who do not want a specialty plate.

Outdoor concerts to resume in June Variety of music on tap for free series By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Englewood is gearing up for this summer’s series of weekly free concerts, with a schedule including jazz, folk and big band music. The series begin June 12 and the finale will be Aug. 7. Free concerts are held Thursdays and begin at 6:30 p.m. The outdoor concerts are held just northwest of the Englewood Civic Center at 1000 Englewood Parkway, in the amphitheater at the base of the bridge leading to the Englewood Light Rail Station. There is no charge for admission and, while chairs are set up on the grass area in front of the stage, concert-goers are invited to bring their own chairs or blankets so they can sit on the grass. In case of threatening weather, call 303-762-2598 for information on whether or not the concert will go on as planned. The summer series has been going on since 1994, when it began with grant fund-

ing from the Arapahoe County Cultural District. The grant funding dried up after the 1999 concert season, but because of the popularity of the free concerts, the Englewood City Council approved funding to continue the program. Originally, the concerts were held at the Plaza at Little Dry Creek. With the construction of the amphitheater as part of the CityCenter Englewood development, the decision was made in 2003 to move the concert series to the new venue. This year’s lineup for Englewood’s free Sounds of Summer concert schedule is: June 12 — Michael Aldridge, modern rock. June 19 — Local favorite Runaway Express, folk and bluegrass. June 26 — Fourever Fab, a Beatles tribute band. July 10 — Papa Juke, blues. July 17 — Raising Cain, classic and modern rock and tunes of the 1980s. July 24 — Unforgettable, a dance band playing music of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. July 31 — The Jerseys, beach music and classic rock. Aug. 7 — Buckner Funkenjazz, oldschool funk and jazz.

The B.I.G. Day – Community Tradition Continues Calendar of Events For a complete calendar of South Metro Denver Chamber events and for more information, visit our web site at www.bestchamber.com or call 303-795-0142.

Thursday, May 1st: A crew from the LEADAPALOOZA leads group plant leeks at the Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield.

It was a day of giving and gratitude, sweat equity and camaraderie, dirty hands and warm smiles as the Fourth Annual B.I.G. Day (B.I.G. stands for Be Involved, Give) proved that community spirit is alive and very well in South Metro Denver. The Chamber’s Non-profit & Business Partnership lead by Steve Bocher of Catch Fire Marketing as Chair, and Laurian Horowitz of Colorado Life Lessons as Event Chair continued the community tradition. This year’s volunteer count of 600 almost doubled last year’s count making this one of the most successful Chamber events of the year. Activities ran the gamut from planting vegetables at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, to packing winter clothing and rolling out the spring/summer clothing at SheShe’s Corner and planting trees and weeding at the Denver Botanic Gardens community garden. Medical supplies were sorted at Project CURE for shipment to 3rd world hospitals, and food boxes were packed at the Jeffco Action Center. The American Cancer Society had volunteers brain-storming and phoning participants for their upcoming Relay for Life events while The Home Builders Foundation built a wheelchair ramp for a person in need. Interfaith Community Services was aided in stocking and sorting their food-bank. Brien Darby, Manager of the Denver Botanic Gardens community gardening program was thrilled with the experience. “I presented them with some very big tasks with a lot of digging and heavy lifting and they were just about the most enthusiastic group I have ever worked with! We completed all the tasks I had planned and even started on a few additional projects. I really appreciate the level of teamwork and “ready for anything” attitude that we consistently receive from volunteers participating in the BIG help day.” The Audubon Society of Greater Denver got trails cleaned up and readied for the summer months, Alternatives Pregnancy Center got their offices ship-shape in record

After their morning efforts, B.I.G. Day volunteers gathered at the Chamber to celebrate their accomplishments and volunteerism.

time, and TLC Meals on Wheels of Littleton got much needed help with the preparation and delivery of meals to their elderly clients. South Suburban Parks got a sprucing up through the South Suburban Park Foundation volunteers while crowd-funding materials were assembled for Spa 4 the Pink. Castlewood Canyon State Park was assisted with their spring fire mitigation and Friends of Dinosaur Ridge trails in Morrison were readied for the summer crowds. Denver Rescue Mission got help in cleaning and organizing their pantry while the playground and outside areas of the Littleton YMCA got a sprucing-up from volunteers. Shannon Bertram, Executive Director of the Littleton YMCA was grateful for the volunteer sweat-equity. “Thank you to the volunteers that helped at the Y- the playground looks great! What an incredible effort for so many to go out and help the local non-profits....We appreciate you!” After all of the hard work, it was time to blow off some steam as many of the volunteers gathered at the Chamber Center to celebrate the day. Enjoying a delicious lunch buffet served by event sponsor McCormick & Schmick’s with beverages and desserts sponsored by The Tilted Kilt, the group watched as Brian Olson of Conversation Starters had a video already prepared showing the day’s activities. The crowd gave a cheer of support for the B.I.G. Day and many expressed that this was just a beginning with many more hours of volunteer efforts were to come. Chamber Nonprofit and Business Partnership Chair Steve Bocher of Catch Fire Marketing thanked the B.I.G. Day Organizing Committee members: Chair Laurian Horowitz of Colorado Life Lessons, Brian Olson of Conversation Starters, and Sue Kenfield of See It Thrive as well as all of the volunteers past and present. “ ...while the official tally isn’t in, you should take great pride in knowing that over the past three years over 10,000 volunteer hours have been

opinions / yours and ours

Bill an opening to greater transparency A bill introduced late this legislative session deserves support from all who want to ensure public officials make their decisions in the open and preserve the right to call them out in court if they don’t. House Bill 14-1390 clarifies Colorado’s open meetings law, stating that anyone can challenge a perceived violation of the law, not only those directly affected by the action. In the equivalent of the session’s ninth inning — the General Assembly is scheduled to adjourn May 7 — the bill was introduced last week and quickly passed its first committee. It remains to be seen whether the bipartisan measure, sponsored in the House by Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, and Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, can gain final passage before the session’s conclusion.

our view We’re hoping it does, or at least is revisited next January. If not, a Jefferson County judge’s head-shaking ruling in late March could set a dangerous precedent. In January, Arvada’s mayor and city council held a special meeting to fill a vacant seat. The process the officials used to fill the opening on the council prompted an Arvada resident to file a complaint. “The Mayor and Council decided to vote by secret ballot, and employed a process of elimination of any candidate(s) who

letter to the editor Legalized pot a disaster for Colorado Recently, a college student, after purchasing and eating pot cookies, started shaking violently, and then jumped to his death from a Denver hotel room. A local man ate pot-laced candy, started hallucinating, and allegedly shot his wife to death. According to the Wall Street Journal, in recent years Denver area pot-related emergency room visits have more than tripled to 3,871. We even have the sad spectacle of Greeley fourth-graders dealing pot at school. How did the great state of Colorado sink to such a low level when even New Jersey governor Chris Christie has figured out that legalized pot is bad news?

Tragically, voters passed Amendment 64, which makes pot legal in Colorado. But, perhaps this could change as Coloradans see this nightmare continue to unfold. A new amendment could be placed on the ballot to reverse Amendment 64. Perhaps the Colorado state government could propose legislation to over turn this dangerous policy, although that is unlikely with Democrat control of the Colorado senate, house, and governorship. In any event, our state needs to take steps to reverse the tragic consequences of legalized pot. Colorado doesn’t need more suicides and murders. Charles Newton Highlands Ranch

Wishing that some old ways would BRB Social media has created an environment and culture of fun, intrigue, gossip, slander, adventure, mystery and more. It is almost a “no rules apply” phenomenon where whatever we say or do can be posted or “hash-tagged” within seconds. Just keeping up with the acronyms is hard enough. Over the years and having raised teenage children through the cell phone/smart phone era and having managed some folks that would fall into the Generation Y category, I thought that I had at least a grasp on what they were saying via text or on sites such as Facebook. Things like LOL, ROFL, TTYL, BRB, and hundreds more. Recently I became aware of TBT, or Throw Back Thursday. I became aware of TBT because someone had shared a picture of me on Facebook from 34 years ago. And thanks to everyone for the “likes” of “comments” on Facebook, your kindness and sarcasm were both greatly appreciated. It is a picture of me at my high school prom or junior cotillion. As I looked at the picture I was immediately transported back in time to the days of my youth, the friends that I kept, the dreams that I had, and as I reflected on each I was quickly reminded of this fact, that was then and this is now. No one could have predicted the future and what would happen in the world, let alone in our small circle of friends that we grew up with. The lens that we viewed life through at the time was based on the information we had, the communications we received, and the interaction we had with one another. Storytelling even in the 1970s and 1980s was alive and well, just as it was hundreds and thousands of years ago. I loved hearing my grandfather tell stories of our family’s past or an aunt or uncle of a friend share their life stories. Technology has given us many advantages, it has certainly made many

things much easier, and access to information has never been faster. But as I looked back on that picture from 34 years ago, I am a bit saddened by what technology may also be depriving us of. That was then and this is now, I get that, but when I watch how my children interact with others, as I go to the gym and look around at everyone plugged into their own iPod and ear buds, there is something wrong and missing. Human interaction and conversation seems to have given way to texting and postings. Am I being nostalgic or melancholy for days gone by? Maybe? Probably. Definitely. Now I am a fan of Facebook, Skype, FaceTime, and other technologies that allow me to reconnect with family and friends, co-workers and people and clients from all over the world in a virtual environment. I am grateful to be able to still see my kids and loved ones when I am traveling either through a FaceTime chat or through the exchanges of pictures, and yes kids, even my selfies. That was then and this is now. How about you — what do you miss most or enjoy most about where we were then and where we are today? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we can bring the good things from our past into our future, it really will be a better than good week.

received an insufficient number of votes in each round (the votes for each round were tallied publicly but the identity of the individuals casting each vote was not disclosed),” District Court Judge Margie Enquist wrote in her March 30 finding. Sounds like the plaintiff was on to something — state law forbids secret ballots in most cases. But hold on: The judge found that Russell Weisfield did not “have standing to bring his claim.” The reason? He did not “articulate any direct, specific impact this voting procedure had on him or his legally-protected interests.” Case dismissed. That’s not how it’s supposed to work. Are we to assume that only the unsuccessful finalists for the council position could have legally challenged the process?

If so, that’s an enemy of the very transparency elected leaders so often, at least publicly, espouse these days. Allowing only a select few to protest the actions of public officials is disenfranchising to the masses. “The very point of the (open meetings law) is transparency in government for all citizens, not just people who are directly affected,” Gardner told the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition last month. “Every citizen ought to have standing.” While the judge ruled that Weisfield was not injured by the council’s actions, HB 14-1390 would take any such idea out of play, stating that any person denied rights under the open meetings law has “suffered an injury in fact.” We hope state lawmakers will — very publicly and very quickly — vote for that.

Stuck in a groove because of Top 40 No wonder I am out of whack: I listened to Top 40 radio. I had no choice. We had no choices. WSAI in Cincinnati, and hundreds of AM stations across the country, played 40 songs a week, in constant rotation. It is kind of unbelievable now, because we have many, many choices. I have an AirPort, so I can listen to my CDs, Internet channels and iTunes stations upstairs and downstairs, and never hear the same song twice in one week. There are songs and performances on YouTube. It’s wonderful. But in the early and mid-’60s, we had one choice, and that was Top 40. Of course, you could have a record collection, and I had an IHOP-high stack of 45s. They were about a dollar each. Up until recently you could download a song for 99 cents on iTunes. The playlists were completely nuts, surreal. You would hear something erotic and visceral like “Satisfaction” by the Stones, then three commercials, then “Dominique” by The Singing Nun. Back to back I would hear a great Carole King song by the Shirelles, and “See the Funny Little Clown,” by Bobby Goldsboro. Bobby sang one disturbing hit after another. Remember “Watching Scotty Grow”? Goldsboro, 73, is a painter now. The Top 40 would penetrate your life, and those songs still do. They are used over and over in films, and often wind up being film titles. Here are a few: “Stand By Me,” “Sixteen Candles,” “My Girl,” “Pretty Woman,” “Ode to Billie Joe,” “Blue Velvet,” “Corrina, Corrina,” “Sea of Love,” “La

Bamba” and “Walk the Line.” The film “Stand by Me” was based on a novella by Stephen King. The song “Stand by Me” was recorded by the great Ben E. King, who was once the lead singer of the Drifters. I loved the Drifters. “When this old world starts getting me down, and people are just too much for me to face.” That’s the way “Up On the Roof” begins. It was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. King’s musical contributions are extraordinary. Some of her songs include, “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?”, “Take Good Care of My Baby,” “Some Kind of Wonderful” “The Loco-Motion,” “Crying in the Rain,” “Chains,” “One Fine Day,” “I’m Into Something Good,” “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” and “You’ve Got a Friend.” Later she became a zillion-selling recording artist herself. You would hear something seductive by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles and they would follow it with “Big Bad John.” That was Jimmy Dean’s biggest hit, and

Assistant superintendent named Englewood selects Patty Hanrahan to fill the vacancy By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com The Englewood School District has selected Patty Hanrahan to step into the post as assistant superintendent when Karen Brofft, current assistant superintendent, leaves at the end of the school year. Hanrahan comes to the Englewood district after serving as director of elementary education for the Douglas County School District. “I am excited to take the position of assistant superintendent in Englewood,” Hanrahan said. “I applied for the position

because, after serving in large districts, I wanted to return to a district like Englewood where you know kids and you can watch them go from kindergarten to high school graduation. I also like the fact Englewood has embarked on remaking the district and all the challenges that come with that effort.” Englewood began the search for a new assistant Hanrahan superintendent in March when Brofft announced she would leave the district at the end of the school year to become superintendent of the Lewis-Palmer School District. The district received 32 applicants for the position and announced the selection

of Hanrahan on April 28. The newly named assistant superintendent said she followed a family tradition by becoming an educator. “I grew up in Kansas City, Mo., and I think I have always wanted to be a teacher,” she said. “My grandmother taught in a one-room school in Missouri and, after college, my first experience as a teacher was in the classroom at the elementary school I attended.” She taught middle school before moving to Center School District in Missouri, a district similar to Englewood. “I loved being in the Center district because it had that sense of community,” she said. “I feel that same sense of community in Englewood.” She and her family moved to Colorado 23 years ago and Hanrahan began teaching first grade at a Douglas County elementary

school. She eventually became principal of Summit View Elementary School in Highlands Ranch. “I later got the opportunity to be part of the team that oversaw construction and opening of Gold Rush Elementary School in Parker,” she said. “I eventually became director of elementary education for the Douglas County School District.” She and her husband live in Parker. Their oldest child is working on her master’s degree in curriculum and instruction while working as a speech language pathologist assistant. The youngest child is a student at the University of Colorado Boulder. “I am looking forward to be a part of Englewood School District,” she said. “I want to be out in the district, visiting schools and meeting the students, faculty and parents because I feel I am a people person.”

The comments came during the presentation of the document from the House extending sincere commendation to Sears for his years of public service. The document, signed by Mark Ferrandino, speaker of the House, honored Sears for his 40-plus years of service in city management. “The members of the Colorado House of Representatives are proud to recognize and thank Gary Sears for his commitment to public service, and for the contributions he has made over the years, not only to Englewood but to the entire state of Colorado,” the document read. “We wish him well on his retirement.” Sears announced in March he would be retiring in September after 17 years as Englewood’s city manager.

Sears served in a number of public service positions in Colorado, including in Silverthorne and Glendale before accepting the position as Englewood city manager in 1996. Kagan talked about a number of Sears’ public service accomplishments in his presentation to the Colorado House. The state representative said, in his 17 years as city manager in Englewood, Sears has been a part of many city improvements, including directing the city during the arrival of the Southwest Corridor Light Rail line, the successful effort that created a transit-oriented development, the demolition of the Cinderella City shopping mall and the construction of Englewood Civic Center. Kagan said Sears’ dedication to his community has helped shape into Englewood into one of the best places in the world to live, work and raise a family. After the House presentation, Sears said the honor came as a complete surprise. “I appreciate the honor but I could have accomplished nothing in the city manager’s position by myself,” he said. “The successful completion of any project is the result of a team effort. I have been fortunate to be part of an outstanding management team here in Englewood. My name is on this recognition but it really should include the names of all the members of the team involved in our accomplishments.” options.

Students spend night at the museum Bishop fifth-graders get hands-on experience By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Noah Hoffpauir, a Bishop Elementary School student, said the field trip that included spending the night at the Denver Museum of Science and visiting the Denver Zoo was the most amazing thing he has ever done. Hoffpauir and 27 classmates made the field trip on April 24 and 25. They arrived at the museum in the late afternoon, spent the evening visiting exhibits and taking part in hands-on activities. They slept in the museum and went to the Denver Zoo the next day.

“The trip was so much fun,” the fifthgrader said. “We got to see and do so many things. I really liked the time we spent in the planetarium and it was fun dissecting a sheep’s lung. There was so much to do and the trip was just out of this world.” Teacher Angela DeMunck headed the field trip. “We were able to make this field trip primarily because the Englewood Education Foundation’s grant,” the fifth-grade teacher said. “The cost for the trip is $50 per person. The grant covered $40 of the fee for the students and is important because otherwise, many of our students wouldn’t have been able to go.” She said the time at the museum was well organized and very educational and so was the trip to the zoo. The agenda for the museum trip included the Bishop students visiting the Mayan

exhibit and spent time in the exhibit in a classroom donated by the Mortrage Foundation, a foundation that has supported several Englewood projects. “We also saw an amazing 3D movie in the IMAX Theater about the unseen world. I think the students really liked the handson projects like using a prism to turn regular light into rainbows,” the Bishop teacher said. “It was a wonderful experience for the students. They learned a lot about nature and science. I think it was particularly important that it was the first time many of the students have been able to talk and ask questions of experts. It was amazing how having excess to experts peaked their curiosity so they asked those experts lots of questions.” Bishop fifth-grader Kaitlyn Jones said

the trip to the museum and zoo was cool. “I was excited when I found out we were going to make this field trip,” she said. “The trip turned out to be even more exciting than I expected. We got to do so many special things. I enjoyed the 3D movie about things in the world that move too fast or are too small for us to see.” She said she liked all the hands-on experiences too. She said she thought dissecting a sheep’s lung was fun and special. “We slept on the floor and that was fine with me,” she said. “I sleep on the floor at home at times because I like to, so I slept very well at the museum.” She said she enjoyed the trip to the zoo and her only disappointment was there wasn’t time to visit the lions.

GOP hopefuls target Hickenlooper in debate Candidates may have to overcome image problem to win the seat By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Three Republican gubernatorial hopefuls tried to stand apart from one another — while getting in plenty of shots at Gov. John Hickenlooper along the way — during an April 24 debate held two months before voters cast ballots in the GOP primary. The event yielded few surprises, with the candidates speaking in near lockstep on issues that included gun control and the Affordable Care Act — issues they believe will resonate with voters in a general election. But the candidates also addressed a confounding reality for the Republican Party — the fact that they’ve held the governor’s seat just once over the last 40 years. There was a little bit of soul-searching going on when asked whether they felt their party has branding problems. “We have not articulated our values in a practical and positive way,” said Secretary of State Scott Gessler. Three of the four GOP candidates for governor took part in the KUSA-TV debate in Denver: Gessler; former Congressman Bob Beauprez; and former state Senate Minority Leader Mike Kopp. Former Congressman Tom Tancredo did not take part in the debate. To take over the governor’s mansion again, Republicans will have to win the seat from a sitting governor who currently is the favorite in the race. A Quinnipiac University poll released the day before the debate shows that Hickenlooper enjoys a 7 percentagepoint advantage over his closest Republican competitor. Beauprez acknowledged that the last several years have been “a tough era” for Republicans. But he contends that the GOP is finally in a good position to win over voters, due in part to a state and federal government that he feels has overreached in several areas. “At this moment in time, I think our brand is on the rise for a very obvious reason,” he said. “There’s two philosophies. One believes that people are the problem and that they need to be regulated and controlled. The other believes the people are the solution.” The candidates all took shots at Hickenlooper’s leadership style. Though they acknowledged that Hickenlooper showed leadership following the Aurora theater shooting, they criticized the governor for later signing gun-control legislation as a response to the massacre.

All three candidates said they would work to repeal those gun laws, if elected. And Kopp said that Hickenlooper hasn’t done enough on wildfire-mitigation efforts. “The fact of the matter is, the governor has not shown leadership on this,” Kopp said. “His big announcement this spring regarding his wildfire reforms was a big nothing burger.” As far as policy, the three candidates sounded familiar, conservative themes for positions on issues that separate them from Hickenlooper and other Democrats. They blasted the Affordable Care Act, with Kopp saying he would push for legislation that would allow Colorado to opt out of Obamacare’s health insurance exchange program. “I don’t want to be a party of implementing such bad policy,” Kopp said. “We’re adding a new level of government and to me two wrongs don’t make a right.” The debate over Obamacare prompted the debate’s only sharp exchange. As Senate minority leader, Kopp fought against Obamacare implementation. But Gessler said that those efforts weren’t good enough.

T IDEN NRES O N R ENT O RESID

“What we need is someone who is going to lead to overturn that,” Gessler said. “Despite the efforts heard earlier, we’ve failed in this state.” That drew a terse response from Kopp. “Mr. Secretary, with all due respect, when I was advancing this agenda you were nowhere to be seen,” Kopp said. They also said they would move forward with the execution of Nathan Dunlap — a death row inmate who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in 1996. Hickenlooper has taken heat from Republicans since he granted Dunlap a temporary reprieve last year. The candidates said they did not support raising taxes to generate money for schools or prisons. And they all said they would push to repeal a law from last year that allows undocumented students living in Colorado to attend state colleges and universities at in-state tuition rates.

Road project transparency bill moves forward Detractors say unintended consequences could slow down future projects before they happen By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill that aims to provide more transparency into the goings-on of public-private road contracts is advancing at the Capitol — a response to concerns over the handling of current U.S. 36 construction efforts. Although the bill has bipartisan support so far, early detractors worry that the effort is much to do about nothing and that it might adversely impact future road contracts. Senate Bill 197 increases public notice and legislative oversight of public-private partnerships of Colorado Department of Transportation road projects. The bill requires a CDOT board to hold public meetings throughout the road project process and keep the Legislature and other local elected officials informed along the way.

CDOT would also be required to post the terms of the partnership agreement on its website. The bill also states that any road project that exceeds 35 years must be approved by the Legislature. “In general, people have a right to know what’s happening to their roads and they shouldn’t have surprises,” said Sen. Matt Jones, D-Louisville, a bill sponsor. “This is especially true with public-private super projects that are expensive and very long term.” Jones’ comments came during an April 24 Senate Transportation Committee hearing on the bill. The legislation passed the committee, following a 4-1 vote and was expected to receive a full vote in the Senate this week. The bill comes on the heels of a passionate debate over the process behind the 50-year U.S. 36 road project, one that will widen the lanes of the highway and incorporate toll lanes. Proponents of the $425 million U.S. 36 project say the contract works out well for taxpayers — some of whom tend to reject footing the bill for costly road projects — because the partnership will pay for badly needed construction, much of it coming from private funding. But the project was the subject of some criticism from

members of the public who felt that they were kept out of the loop on many of the contract details. “A lot of people felt their voice was not heard,” Jones said. Sen. Bernie Herpin, R-Colorado Springs, a bill co-sponsor, said the Legislature has an obligation to provide oversight over these kinds of partnerships, in order to prevent U.S. 36-like controversy from happening in the future. “I see this as a win-win situation,” Herpin said. “For the users of our roads and the builders of our roads.” But not everyone agrees with Jones and Herpin. Tony Milo of the Colorado Contractors Association said the public reaction to the U.S. 36 partnership was a part of a “growing pains” process that typically happens during these types of projects. Milo also worried that the bill is a “knee-jerk reaction” to what happened with the U.S. 36 project, one that he believes provided the public with ample opportunities to make their voices heard. “You can have all these public hearings and reports, but until a shovel is put into the ground, no one pays attention,” Milo said. Sen. George Rivera, R-Pueblo, voted for the bill in committee, but expressed concerns that the Legislature might be “using a sledgehammer to hit a nail.” “Do we have a problem that needs solved, here?” Rivera said. Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge, was the only member of the committee to vote against the bill. She expressed concern that not all interested parties were brought in on the bill-crafting process and said that the bill could have “unintended consequences,” when it comes to how future road projects are partnered. Jahn also said that the Legislature needs to be fair to CDOT, especially since the department is following accountability rules that were put in place by lawmakers in 2009. “One of the things that has bothered me since the whole U.S. 36 thing came about was that everyone was so willing to throw CDOT under the bus,” Jahn said. “And I think that’s very unfair because CDOT is only doing exactly what the legislature said they could do.” Jones said the bill is not about making contractors’ lives more difficult. “I’m not trying to kill these projects,” Jones said. “I’m just trying to make sure people know what’s going on and can have a valid voice in them.”

For the most part, the candidates wanted nothing to do with gay rights issues. Beauprez and Kopp said they had no intention of overturning last year’s law that created civil unions in Colorado. Although Gessler said he would “have to look at the bill,” he did indicate that overturning the law “is on the table.” The candidates all affirmed their pro-life stances, but Beauprez didn’t seem very interested in talking about abortion. He said that pursuing a law to outlaw abortion “would not be on the agenda right now for anyone on this campaign.” “I think it’s an issue that is trumped up in every political campaign for obvious reasons — to divide good people on a very difficult issue that really isn’t simply resolved,” he said. Kopp had no problem talking about his desire for an abortion ban. “I am pro-life and would absolutely stand up for legislation that creates life without exceptions,” he said. The candidates were also asked about the baggage they might bring to the race. Beauprez — who lost badly in a 2006 gubernatorial race with Bill Ritter — said he has learned from his mistakes in that “very difficult” campaign. Gessler was asked whether a cloudy ethics image would be a barrier in the campaign. He was found to have violated ethics laws by the state’s ethics commission for using state money to attend a Republican event in 2012. Gessler said the ethics commission is unethical itself. “We have a corrupt ethics commission in the state of Colorado,” Gessler said. “It is controlled and dominated and run by Hickenlooper re-election supporters who are personally financially interested in seeing him re-elected.”

Teens know dreams lead to success Optimists honor essay winners By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Breakfast Optimist Club of Littleton knows that teenagers are natural-born dreamers, and that it’s a good thing. Hoping to inspire some big dreams, the club recently held an essay contest with the theme “How Dreams Lead to Success,” and local kids didn’t disappoint. “Success is defined in the eye of the beholder, and that is why it is import for each person to dream,” writes first-place winner Mia Green, a student at Cherokee Trail High School. “… The point is, someone had to dream and be brave enough to carry it out. The history of America has been made by dreamers. If it weren’t for dreamers and riskAPSM 2014 AG be CO_Comm_Media_Ad.pdf 1 takers, we wouldn’t where we are today.”

She went on to describe the dreams and achievements of greats like Martin Luther King Jr., Neil Armstrong and Steve Jobs. All three winning essays mentioned King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. “King’s dream came true,” writes secondplace winner Shivani Chauhon, who attends Rock Canyon High School. “Today we live in a post-racial America, where policies prohibit discrimination. Although America will never be completely free of racism, significant advancement has been made since King’s 1963 `I Have a Dream’ speech. But many dreams are never realized.” Though that’s true, third-place winner Mary Hinton, Heritage High School, said it’s important to dream early and often. “What do you want to be when you grow up? It’s a question asked by loved ones persistently, in hopes of planting a dream in 4/24/14 5:01 PM early on,” writes third-place their minds

winner Mary Hinton, of Heritage High School. “They don’t actually expect a carefree 5-year-old to have an accurate reading of where his or her life is headed. The point is to plant the idea of a dream inside that carefree little mind, to inspire and end goal, to direct them towards success.” The Optimists honored the winners at a ceremony on April 11 at the Bistro Restaurant at Aspen Grove. Green and Hinton attended with their parents, and went home with medallions and prize money. Chauhon was unable to attend, but the Optimists said they’d make sure she got her prizes. “We were very impressed, not only with their essays, but also with their maturity, composure and their graciousness,” said Optimist Steve Patterson. “The future of our country is in the hands of our children, and Mia and Mary certainly renewed my faith in our future.”

With some subtle light painting, I was able to illuminate some lines on the dunes under the Milky Way skies above — all while clouds on the right side glow from light pollution coming from the little town of Alamosa, Colorado.” Rob Lace won his ribbon for Black and White Digital, but we were charmed by his “Ready to Go” color image of an elderly dog, seated in an elderly Chevy truck, eager to ride somewhere — anywhere. Lace said it is his father-in-law’s dog and truck, parked out in the country, and indeed ready to go.

Charles Lehman is the third winner for Darkroom Processing. His photo was submitted in the Black and White category, but is unique these days because he works with film and develops it himself in a darkroom. His images include landscapes, architecture and people, all with subtle effects from another era. We found his “Cliff Dwelling” especially striking as a story of a long-deserted place where someone once lived. One almost sees ghosts. The gallery is filled with striking images — proof that the award-worthy shots are not a one-time incident. The viewer is challenged to make up stories as they stroll along.

Writers conference scheduled in Estes Park Colorado Christian Writer’s Conference set for May 14-17 By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Sally Redman couldn’t find books like she wanted to read to her children, she decided to write one. She now plans to attend the Colorado Christian Writer’s Conference to help her move forward with her project. “I wanted the books to be fun for the kids but to also portray Christian values,” the former Englewood resident said. “I have written a couple magazine articles, so I figured writing a book wouldn’t be all that different. Boy, was I wrong.” A friend told her about the Colorado Christian Writer’s Conference and she said she looked up the information and saw a list of workshops and sessions she feels will help her in writing her book. “When I told my sister-in-law who lives nearby in Centennial and writes magazine articles, she said she plans to go too,” Redman said. “I expect to learn a lot of valuable information. I can’t tell you how much I am looking forward to the conference.” The Colorado Christian Writer’s Conference will be held May 14-17 at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park. This marks the 18th year Marlene Bagnull has organized and put on the conference. This year’s conference will feature a faculty of about 60 professional writers and roughly 250 students who can select their choice from among eight continuing sessions as well as from 42 workshops

or hands-on sessions. In addition, those at the conference can schedule 15-minute appointments with writing professionals like editors, publishers and agents. Chris Richards is a veteran of the conference. The Castle Rock woman said she has attended about 10 times over the last 15 years. “Originally, I was a writer looking to learn about my craft and my profession,” she said. “Then I was asked to be on the faculty and now I attend on two levels.” She said she still attends sessions and workshops to learn but she also serves as a member of the faculty. Littleton resident Jeff Kildow has attended the conference for the past eight years and will return again this year. “Writers should never quit learning about how to be a better writer or how to deal with the business of being a writer,” he said. “At the conference, there are workshops about different aspects of writing such as creating interesting characters in a fictional piece to how to present your manuscript to an agent or publisher.” Kildow said there is a lot to learn outside the scheduled sessions too. “It is important that there is time to spend talking to writers and faculty members,” he said. “The networking is an opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences with other writers and gather additional tips on a specific subject from faculty members. I have also found I have built lasting friendships that are very valuable to me as an individual and as a writer.” For more information on the conference, please visit Colorado.writehisanswer.com. Registration closes May 13.

Englewood students tackle serious drama ‘Twelve Angry Jurors’ set for school stage

IF YOU GO “Twelve Angry Jurors” will play at 7 p.m. May 8, 9 and at 6 p.m. May 10 at Englewood High School, 3800 S. Logan St., Englewood. Tickets cost $4 for students and seniors/$6 for adults, with a $1 discount for advance purchase. Call 303-806-7075 for information and reservations.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Twelve Angry Jurors” by Reginald Rose is the spring play chosen by the Englewood High School theater department. It will be presented at 7 p.m. May 8 and 9 and at 6 p.m. May 10 at EHS, 3800 S. Logan St. Director Dan Carlson said the students are “enjoying the opportunity to tell a different kind of story in the first serious drama produced for many years.” He also cautions that there will be only 92 seats available for each performance, due to the intimate setting required for this tale set in a jury room. The play — wellknown as “Twelve Angry Men” — is often retitled in productions featuring female roles. The play was originally written by Rose, a screen and television writer, as well as a playwright, as a one-hour television script. Henry Fonda offered to co-produce with Rose for the stage and played the memorable Juror 8 role, portrayed in this production by junior Justin Willson.

Englewood High School cast members rehearse for their production of the play, “Twelve Angry Jurors.”The actors, left to right, are Jade Bagola, Kelly Erbentraut, Keenan Cower, Justin Willson, Correen Martinez, Gabe Gravagno and Ethan Hsieh. There will be productions May 8,9 and 10 at the Englewood Middle School Auditorium. Photo by Tom Munds The scene is a New York City court in 1957. A young man is accused of murdering his father and faces the death penalty. All but Juror 8 vote “guilty” in a preliminary straw vote — each reflecting prejudices

and a differing background/life story. Juror 8 questions the evidence and leads the others through detailed discussions of the prosecution’s case. Juror 3 is aggressive and hot-tempered.

Arianna Prange-Rozet plays that role, while Correen Martinez is Juror 1, the foreperson, who tries to maintain order. Sophie VamVakias is Juror 2 and Keenea Cowger is Juror 4. Vanessa Morado is Juror 5; Cinthia Gomez is Juror 6 and Jade Bagola is Juror 7. Each has individual characteristics in this version. Gabe Gravagno is Juror 9 and Aleny Espinoza is Juror 10, who exhibits racist tendencies, speaking of the accused as “one of them.” Kelly Erbentraut is Juror 11 and Ethan Hsieh is Juror 12. The judge is Shelby Moore and Charlotte Verastro plays the guard at the jury room door. Playwright Rose (1920-2002) was born in New York City and drew on his city for material. His father was a lawyer.

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Showtime on Ice” enters its 41st season with a show that will entertain families May 9 to 11 at the South Suburban Ice Arena. A collaboration between the Denver Figure Skating Club and the Colorado Skating Club, the show will include more than 130 local skaters and guest artists Alexa Scimeca and Chris Knierim, 2013 U.S. pairs silver medalists, and Courtney Hicks, individual skating competitor and 2014 Olympic Team alternate.

Skaters in the May 9-11 “Showtime on Ice” at South Suburban Ice Arena include (from left) Reese Gautsche, Janie Ochitwa, Chloe Maciolek, Daniel Arsenault, Emily Fredrickson, Mia Maciolek, Isabelle Booth and Tamara Valdez. Courtesy photo facing will be a Beatles tribute, with these scenes: Yellow Submarine, Ticket to Ride, All You Need is Love and Penny Lane. Completing the program are an ice dance number, a father/daughter piece, guest skater Courtney Hicks and a Twist and Shout scene.

The show will run about two hours. With the exception of show directors, choreographers, costume designers, prop designers and graphic talent, this production is run by parent volunteers. It is the nation’s largest amateur ice show, according to publicist Madeline Daley.

Calm After the Storm

Performance director is Amy Schneider and the director of choreography is Kelly Corcoran Smith. Both bring extensive experience in performing and directing. Skaters come from across the metro area, with the south suburbs heavily represented: 25 from Highlands Ranch/Lone Tree; 23 from Centennial; 13 from Castle Rock/Castle Pines; 10 from Aurora; seven from Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village and Englewood; six from Denver and five each from Littleton and Parker. The rest are from the learn-to-skate program, and Daley didn’t have their hometowns available.

Parker Continued from Page 14

Sounds a lot like those days when college kids would cross state lines to buy cases of Coors beer?

Purple pride Majestic Athletic, in partnership with the Colorado Rockies and Major League Baseball, celebrates a special day for local

baseball fans by inviting them to don their official Rockies team jerseys in a show of baseball fan pride for the Rockies home game on May 2. Rockies Jersey Day, presented by Majestic Athletic, encourages fans to proudly wear their Rockies jersey to work, school or the home game that evening to celebrate their love for the sport and the hometown nine. “We always encourage our fans to wear their Rockies jerseys and colors,” said Greg Feasel, Rockies executive vice president and COO. “However, designating a special

day for our fans to proudly wear their favorite Rockies jersey is a great way to honor the history of baseball, our team and the community.”

Overheard

Eavesdropping on a woman with a 6-year-old who wanted to try Motto Sparkling Matcha Tea at Whole Foods in Colorado Springs: Not knowing if the “Tea for Life” was kid-friendly, the woman asked a store employee if it was something kids would like.

The employee’s response: “Well, King Soopers kids don’t like it, but Whole Foods kids do.” Penny Parker’s “Mile High Life” column gives insights into the best events, restaurants, businesses, parties and people throughout the metro area.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your creativity plus your good business sense once more combine to give you an important advantage in a difficult workplace situation. An ally proves his or her loyalty.

& weekly horoscope

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Avoid rushing into something just because it offers a break from your usual routine. Take things a step at a time to be sure you’re moving in the right direction. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Bouncing back from a disappointing incident isn’t easy, but you should find a welcome turn of events emerging. Spend the weekend with someone special.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) An incomplete project needs your attention before someone else takes it over and uses it to his or her advantage. There’ll be lots of time for fun and games once you get it done. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Doubts involving a potential career change need to be resolved quickly so they don’t get in the way when you feel you’re finally ready to make the big move.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) patience might still be called for until you’re sure you finally have the full story that eluded you up till now. A trusted associate could offer valuable guidance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) look into your recent behavior to see if you could have caused the coolness you might now be sensing from a loved one. if so, apologize and set things straight.

Growing up was never easy `Spring Awakening’ brings painful past to life By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com A blocky, stepped-up wooden stage is backed by a row of bare trees. Tree shadows are painted on the stage floor. Behind the trees is a row of seats for Donna Debreceni and her five excellent musicians, who add depth and tone to the fine production of “Spring Awakening” at Town Hall Arts Center. Sensitively and skillfully directed and choreographed by Nick Sugar, “Spring Awakening,” the winner of eight Tony Awards in 2006, tells a sad coming-of-age story, based on a controversial play written in 1891 in Germany by Frank Wedenkind. Sugar comments in his director’s notes that this musical, by Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik, has “become the new anthems for every young actor, just as the songs from `Hair,’ `Tommy’ and `RENT’ did in generations past.” Adolescents are tightly restricted by society as their bodies discover desire, while they are kept ignorant of anything about sexual issues and how to manage them. Against a background of rigid schooling for young men, intelligent Melchior Gabor (Casey Andree) rebels and questions in and out of the schoolroom even as he memorizes and recites the required Latin verses. Distracted Moritz Stiefel (talented newcomer Jake Brasch) who asks his intellectual friend, Melchior, to write up a brief sexual manual — with illustrations — has trouble memorizing, as he deals with rag-

ing hormones. Strict teacher Scott McClean, who plays all the adult men, is totally unsympathetic as he drills his students and singles out Moritz as one more student than the school can hold. Sweet, innocent Wendla Bergmann (Heather Doris) begs her mother to explain how babies are made, when her sister bears a new little girl — she’s sure the stork story isn’t right. Her mother, played by Margie Lamb, who plays all the adult woman parts, can only answer “she must love her husband …” Throughout the performance, the strong cast moves in and out of the scene, precisely choreographed by Sugar and dramatically lighted by Seth Alison. Linda Morken’s costumes are especially effective and detailed, including the schoolboy suits with knickers and anklehigh boots and prim calico dresses. The play addresses a botched abortion, a girl abused by her father, an anxiety-ridden boy whose parents are unable to forgive failure in school, a girl who is kicked out by her parents — all too similar to stories we hear regularly in today’s news. Perhaps some are able to discuss more freely a century and more later — but not all. This is a beautifully staged production, with a strong score, talented cast and knockout band. It does manage to offend some in the audience because of content and language. We were delighted to see a large class of teens — presumably drama students — in the audience. It’s their show.

PIRATES EARN LEAGUE TITLE SHARE

Tie with Weld Central assures Englewood of playoff berth By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The April 24 Englewood-Weld Central soccer game lived up to its billing as a battle of two evenly matched teams as 100 minutes of play failed to produce a goal or determine a winner. But the scoreless tie did do one thing. It earned the Pirates at least a share of the league title plus assured Englewood will advance to the state Class 4A state playoffs, which begin the week of May 5. “It was a great game with each team playing hard to try to create scoring opportunities and fighting not to give the opponent that inch of advantage. The teams were into it, the crowd was into it and it was a fun game to watch,” Pirates Coach Chris Kavinsky said after the game. “This was our final game that counts in league standings. We are undefeated in league play with one tie, which assures us of at least share of the league title and reaching our preseason goal of going to the state playoffs.” After the April 24 game, Englewood was atop the league with an 11-0-1 record and a 4-0-1 league mark. Weld Central’s overall record was 11-1-1 and league record was 3-01 while third-place Skyview was 11-1 overall and 3-1 in league. The top two teams in the final league standings qualify for the state playoffs. Kavinsky said a game that will impact the final league standings was played April 29 when Weld Central traveled to Skyview. A Weld Central win would leave the Rebels and Pirates tied with 4-0-1 records. They would share the league title and a tie-breaker will be used to determine state playoff seeding. A Skyview win would leave the

Englewood goalie Miranda Holman scoops up a shot attempt during the April 24 game against Weld Central. The game ended in a scoreless tie, marking the 12th time this season the Pirates haven’t given up a goal. Wolverines 3-1-0, they would finish second and Englewood would have sole possession of the league championship. Englewood still has two games on the regular season schedule. The Pirates played a non-league contest on the road April 29 at Fort Morgan and closes out the regular season with a non-league contest against Elizabeth on May 1. A playoff atmosphere marked the April 24 Englewood-Weld Central game as a key battle between two good soccer teams for the Colorado 7 League title. The contest quickly developed into a hard-fought effort on both sides that prohibited either team from controlling the tempo of play. From the start, Englewood pushed the ball toward the Rebels’ goal. Rebel defenders captured the ball and pushed the ball back the other way. Both teams played cautious soccer. Once

a team pushed the ball across midfield, just about all the other team’s players dropped back to help turn back the attack. The entire game, players raced up and down the field but the wall-like defenses made shots on goal hard to create. The unofficial statistics had Weld Central putting five threatening shots on goal and Englewood putting four shots on the Rebels’ goal. Both teams played a physical style. Collisions between players going after a loose ball were frequent and often the collisions left one or both players on the ground. It is unlikely any athlete who took part in the game left the field without a few bumps and bruises. Englewood established a milestone in Pirate soccer as the team has not give up a goal so far this season. After the game, Pirate goalie Miranda Holman smiled as she said she never expected to go this far in the season without

giving up a goal. Holman, who plays softball and basketball, came out for soccer for the first time this season, the team needed a goalie and she volunteered to play the position. She said her skills in the other sports and her athleticism helped her learn quickly how to play goalie. “This was a big game, the biggest game I’ve played and I was so nervous all day,” the Pirate senior said after the game. “There was a lot on the line and I felt the pressure of preserving the scoreless streak.” Holman said the key to playing goalie is to focus and never lose sight of the ball. She said the toughest shot to field is when the ball is headed for the other side of the net. “If they get a good shot at the far post, that is a lot of ground you have to cover quickly,” she said. “So far, our defenders have made it hard for the other teams to get many really good shots and if they hit the ball well, I have been able to get to it and keep it out of the net. Tonight was big and it feels great to know we are going to the state playoffs.” Sophomore Tori Harris is one of the starting defenders this season. She said friends talked her into coming out for soccer last spring, it was fun, so she came out again this season and earned a starting spot. “I really like playing defense,” she said after the game. “I like to be aggressive and physical so defense is the best position for me.” Harris said her goal in every game is to win as many loose balls as possible. “Against Weld Central, their players didn’t pay much attention to me at first but, when I started winning most of the loose balls, they came after me when the ball was in my area,” she said. “They tried to be physical and move me out of position but I went right back at them so it was fun. I have a few bruises but I am happy we played so well and that we didn’t give them many good shots at the goal.”
