City council OKs closure of Clarkson
Action clears hurdle for Craig Hospital expansion proposal
By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com
Englewood City Council’s Oct. 15 approval of a request to close the 3400 block of South Clarkson Street clears a major hurdle in Craig Hospital’s plans for a $90 million expansion. Craig Hospital sought closure of the street to unite the two halves of the campus as part of the expansion. Council
gave its approval on a 5-2 vote. Michael Fordyce, Craig CEO, said the street closure won’t happen immediately, and may not happen until the first or second quarter of 2013. Englewood Community Development Director Alan White agreed. “Craig still has to complete the process for the permits for the project,” he said. “Also, the city will have to reroute the Art Shuttle, and it will take time to put in new directional signs and improve traffic signals.” He added that, once a date is determined, there will be a lot of advance notice so people will know most of the 3400 block of South Clarkson is closed to through traffic. The proposed Craig project would in-
clude adding two floors to the east building and one story to the west building. Plans are to leave the south portion of the 3400 block of Clarkson Street open for access to the Swedish Medical Building parking garage. The north portion will be transformed into a park-like area. The new construction would add about 88,000 square feet to the hospital, bringing the total floor space to about 300,000 square feet. Fordyce said Craig now has two and sometimes three patients to a room in the east building. The expansion would make it possible for each patient to have his or her own room. He said the hospital now has 85 beds, and the proposal would expand that to a capacity of 91 beds. He said the closing of Clarkson would
make it safer for staff and patients moving between the two buildings. It also would include creating a main entrance to Craig and doing additional work to prepare for a sizable increase in outpatient care. The council passed the approval on first reading and held a public hearing on the issue Oct. 1. At the public hearing, a number of residents raised the issue of increased traffic and parking problems in the surrounding neighborhood, which were the same major concerns raised at an August neighborhood meeting on the project hosted by Craig. Council members discussed the issue on Oct. 15 when it was considered on second and final reading. Clarkson continues on Page 9

Alexandra McLean’s attorneys entered a not guilty plea on her behalf at her Oct. 22 arraignment in 18th Judicial District Court, and the judge scheduled the three- to four-day trial to start April 9 in Division 207. McLean was in court for the arraignment and stood at the lectern beside McLean her attorneys when the plea was entered and the trial date set. McLean faces two Class 3 felony counts of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of authority, The case began late last year when Englewood police notified the school district they were investigating a sexual assault incident that apparently happened Nov. 18, which was the start of Thanksgiving break. Brian Ewert, Englewood school superintendent, said, in accordance with policy, McLean was placed on administrative leave on Nov. 28, and on Dec. 8, the district received her resignation The charges were filed by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, based on the material gathered in an Englewood police investigation of a complaint of the teacher’s possible inappropriate relationship with a 17-year-old male student. McLean, with her lawyers, turned herself in to authorities Jan. 4 and was advised of the charges she could face. She posted $25,000 bond and was released. She waived preliminary hearing on March 6 and her lawyer’s request for a continuance was granted when she was initially scheduled to be arraigned on May 21. On Aug. 13, the judge granted another arraignment continuance and reset the court appearance for Oct. 22, when the not guilty plea was entered and the trial date set.

City’s 2013 budget has $900,000 shortfall Council takes wait-and-see position regarding cuts By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Englewood City Council made a unique decision Oct. 15 by adopting a 2013 budget that has spending forecast to exceed revenues by about $900,000. The adopted budget forecast spending to be about $41 million, while total revenues are expected to be just over $40 million. The second and final reading of the ordinance to adopt the 2013 budget was introduced at the Oct. 15 council meeting. During the discussion of the issue, Council Member Rick Gillit said he would vote not to approve the budget. “I am very concerned that the proposed spending for 2013 is more than $900,000 more than the anticipated total
revenues,” he said. “We need to take action to cover the shortfall so I don’t feel comfortable passing this budget.” Council Member Joe Jefferson said he agreed with Gillit and would vote not to adopt the budget. Mayor Randy Penn had a different opinion. He said he would support the budget with the provision that the council reviews the financial reports in February and if the report wasn’t favorable, they could take steps to reduce spending. Penn’s position was supported by the four other members of the council, and the 2013 budget was adopted on a vote of 5-2 with Jefferson and Gillit voting no. The Oct. 15 vote concluded budget discussions that began in August, which included five council study sessions that included discussions about making cuts now to eliminate the shortfall. However, the opinion of the majority of council members was not to draw on reserves to balance the 2013 budget but
to wait to see whether 2012 spending comes in about 2 percent less than the budget as predicted, and whether new projects would come on line to increase revenues that would cover the shortfall. Council members passed the budget on first reading and held a public hearing on Oct. 1. They also met with all the department directors in the Oct. 8 study session. Each department head presented options to reduce 2013 spending and, in most cases, the options would mean reducing personnel, services or both. Again, the consensus Oct. 8 was not to make immediate cuts. At the Oct. 15 study session, Finance Director Frank Gryglewicz talked about budget history as he presented the monthly financial. “While sales and use tax make up 78 percent of all taxes and 57.2 percent of total revenues, it is a very unstable source of revenues that rise and fall with the economic climate,” he said. “From
1968 to 2000, there were only four years where the city saw a decline in revenues, primarily in sales taxes. However, since 2001, there have been five years where revenues declined. The largest decline was 2002, when revenues declined about $3 million.” He said Englewood had two years, 2009 and 2010, when the council transferred money from the reserves to balance the budget. Last year, revenues increased slightly and revenues were increased by about $323,000. The September financial report included the news that total revenues so far this year were about $800,000 more than at the same time in 2011, a gain of about 2.7 percent. Much of the increase was in collection of sales taxes for the month. In September, the city collected $1.7 million, which was about $125,000 or 7.9 percent more than was collected in September 2011.

We went closer to look and two trees went down and took nsome smaller trees with them, blocking the bike path.” 7 Not far away, the sound of a chain 9saw announced a member of Engle-wood’s street crew was cutting away the debris from a tree that fell into one lane of the 3400 block of South Logan Street. “The winds definitely took down some trees,” said Brad Hagan, street maintenance manager. “There were trees and limbs in a lot of yards but we also had trees that fell into our streets. For a time, we closed the 3400 block of South Logan Street to clear away a fallen tree as we did the 2700 block of South Acoma Street. Our guys were also clearing a tree that was blocking most

of the southbound lane in the 3400 block of South Logan Street.’ Hagan noted city crews cleared the portion of the downed trees that were blocking the street. However, homeowners are responsible for removing the downed trees or limbs that fell on their property. The high winds came in with the arrival of a cold front just before midnight. Estimates are that wind gusts
topped 60 mph, knocking down trees, breaking large branches and, in some areas, knocking out telephones, television cable and power lines. There were a number of downed phone and TV wires along Logan, but there were no reports of downed power lines. But in Centennial, wind knocked out power lines, causing the closure of Arapahoe High School for the day.

The Centennial man accused of killing his mother and dismembering her body made his second appearance in Arapahoe County District Court, advised of the charges against him including first-degree murder and vehicular eluding. Ari Misha Liggett, 24, thought to have poisoned his mother after being removed from her will, sat quietly Oct. 23, his long, dark hair concealing his face. Deputies arrested the former University of Colorado student Oct. 17 after finding body parts in the back of his vehicle. Family members reported Liggett and his 56-year-old mother, Beverly, missing from the home they shared in the 6200 block of East Peak-
view Avenue on Oct. 15 Sheriff ’s deputies spotted the vehicle ass o c i a t e d Liggett with the missing persons report as it drove through an adjacent neighborhood, but were unable to make contact. A Greenwood Village police officer saw the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop, but Liggett tried to elude police, crashing his vehicle at the intersection of East Orchard Road and South Dayton Street. Liggett then fled on foot, but was apprehended and taken into custody without further incident. The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that in an initial search of the home, investigators found potassium cyanide, a toxic chemical that can cause death.
2ND CHANCE
Investigators and hazmat specialist conduct a briefing outside the Centennial home of 24-year-old Ari Liggett. Liggett was arested early Oct. 17 after police found the dismembered body of a woman in the back seat of his car. Photo by Deborah Grigsby Court documents also indicate investigators found traces of blood, vomit, and a handsaw and knife in the dishwasher. But concerns with Liggett’s behavior are not new. A January 2010 affidavit filed by Beverly Liggett in District Court paints a picture of a troubled young man who mixed chemicals in the backyard; had books on silencers; disliked Jews, although Jewish himself; and was “slightly obsessed with killing, racism and Hitler.” Beverly Liggett stated in the affidavit that she
and her teenage daughter, Livie, were living in fear that Ari would kill them and that he had made statements in the past that he would “get rid of the family.” A modified rifle with a homemade silencing device was found in the home, and in February of that year, a package of potassium ferrocyanide was delivered to the home, addressed to the defendant. Liggett was arrested on March 26, 2010, and charged with possession of a dangerous weapon, appearing before then Arapahoe County Judge
Ethan Feldman. He pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment and possession of a dangerous weapon. Court documents state he received a four-year deferred sentence and one year of probation. A mandatory protection order for the two women was issued by Arapahoe County in September 2010, and another for just Livie in July 2011. Liggett’s father, Ronald Liggett of Westminster, has gone on record with local media stating that his son is “mentally ill.” Neighbors who knew the victim said the family had aggressively tried to get the defendant help after his 2010 arrest, but “couldn’t find any place that would take him.” Unemployed, Ari Liggett lists his only source of income for the past 15 months as Social Security on his application for court-appointed counsel. Liggett’s next court appearance will be Dec. 19, when it will be determined whether there is sufficient evidence to proceed to trial.

Witnesses say gang members in Littleton had ‘previous beef ’ By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com By the morning of Oct. 21, the evidence was collected, the crime-scene tape was gone, the mobile-command unit was back at the station, one young man was dead and another was in the hospital. Both had been shot. Late the night of Oct. 19 and all the next day, Littleton police took over the entire neighborhood at Fox Street and Berry Avenue, tucked between Cherrelyn Manor nursing home and Living Word Tabernacle church. On Oct. 20, neighborhood children gathered to watch detectives catalog copious amounts of evidence. They marveled at the news van parked down the street. They watched stoically as a black pickup truck, one window shattered, was towed away. They pointed at empty shoes lying in a driveway, a baseball cap in the middle of the street. They asked if the body was still under the red tent and were told it wasn’t. They told how their moms ran to their bedrooms to check on them when the gunshots rang out. Neighborhood teens gathered in a front yard described how things went awry at a party gone out of control. Gang members with “previous beef” clashed, they say, and guns came out. A little after 11 p.m. Oct. 19, shots reverberated throughout the neighborhood. Just a block away at the time, police arrived quickly on the scene. They found an 18-year-old dead in the street. A 17-year-boy was transported to Swedish Hospital. A girl watching police work the day after the shooting said one boy was her longtime friend who recently became the father of a baby boy. Her friend said she’d just returned from the hospital, where the younger boy was in surgery. His condition remains unknown, and police have yet to identify either of them. Rumors flew and police remained silent over the weekend. But congregation members gathered at Living Word
Tabernacle to find strength in communion and a renewed commitment to the neighborhood. Like the neighborhood, it’s a diverse congregation. Young and old, black and white hugged, sang joyous hymns, cried and held their children perhaps a little closer than the Sunday before. “I think our young people are so lost,” Pastor Paula Holmes told them. “You know if you carry a weapon, you’re probably going to use it. We’ve got to start reaching out more to the children in this neighborhood.” Exactly a year to the day before Holmes said those words, another boy was shot in the neighborhood. Evaristo Galindo, then 17, told Littleton police officers he was alone in Progress Park when he got shot on Oct. 21, 2011. Doctors said there were birdshot pellets lodged in his shinbone and jawbone, according to the police report. Galindo told police he had “problems with everyone” but would not say who might have shot him or why. A disturbance was reported about 10:30 that night near West Prentice Avenue and South Lakeview Street, immediately south of the park. Witnesses heard gunshots, fighting and squealing tires. Two witnesses reported they saw up to 15 people in the intersection, some yelling “South Side” and “SPV 13,” indicating gang activity. The Littleton Police Department’s Special Enforcement Team had been tasked with paying special attention to gang and drug activity in the city. However, it was disbanded in May. The northeast neighborhood for years has been the focus of much outreach from groups like Greater Littleton Youth Initiative, Littleton Immigrant Integration Initiative and North Littleton Promise, which was formed specifically to serve the area. “A group of community-minded people from Centennial Covenant Church learned about the suburbanization of poverty and began to explore if there was indeed a struggling community in suburban Littleton,” reads NLP’s website. “After talking with local law enforcement, they discovered a community in northeast Littleton where gang involvement, truancy and teen pregnancy were prevalent.”
Humane Society board fires director Shelter has struggled for financial viability By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com The Humane Society of the South Platte Valley’s board has fired executive director Nick Fisher and replaced him with an interim director, Leslie Maisonneuve. Board member Margie Munoz and Maisonneuve briefed Littleton City Council on the situation on Oct. 16. “We’ve taken steps within the last week to implement a dynamic growth plan,” said Munoz. She thanked Fisher for his time and energy, but said the board is excited to explore permanent options. Council unanimously approved an agreement Sept. 18 to work with Arapahoe County, Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Bow Mar, Columbine Valley, Sheridan, Englewood, Lone Tree and Parker to explore options for housing lost or abandoned critters throughout the south
metro region. The agreement does not specifically say the joint committee will look for ways to keep the HSSPV viable, just that it will explore a variety of options ranging from a regional full-service animal shelter to using a combination of private kennels. The shelter has struggled to become financially stable since the state attorney general’s office closed the Colorado Humane Society. Littleton and Englewood each provided $100,000 to kickstart HSSPV to replace CHS in 2009, and agreed to pay $50,000 a year for animalsheltering services. HSSPV has asked for $25,000 advances each of the last two years. Both councils gave HSSPV an extra $41,000 for 2012 — for a total of $91,000 each. Littleton City Manager Michael Penny warned he expected it to be the last time. “The timing of last resort is the 2013 budget,” he said last spring. “We’re not continuing to do this.” Council agreed and tossed the extra out of the 2013 budget that they approved during the Oct. 16 meeting.

Forums set on fire service merger study
Meetings give residents chance to comment
By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com
Two community forums are planned to gather public comment about a study that looked at the possibility of the Englewood and Littleton fire departments providing cooperative fire and emergency medical services for the two cities. This past summer, the two cities hired a consulting firm, Emergency Services Consulting International, to do a fea-
sibility study of the possibility that the two departments could reduce costs and eliminate duplication by cooperating to provide the services. Possible outcomes of the study could be anything from doing nothing to merging the two departments. The consultants have visited both communities to interview governmental and department officials and employees. That is completed and the next step in the process is gathering public input from residents. The first public meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Nov. 7 in the Littleton Center community room at 2255 W. Berry Ave. The second meeting will be held at 7 p.m.
Nov. 8 in the community room of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. Those wishing to speak at either meeting are asked to arrive about 6:30 p.m. and sign up to comment. The consultants are an international firm specializing in the analysis of fire, police, communications and emergency medical services. A representative of ESCI will provide a brief presentation on the study before the public-comment period. Englewood Fire Chief Mike Pattarozzi said the two members of the consultant team doing the Englewood-Littleton study should be familiar with the opera-
tion of the local departments, since both Steve Trunck and Jim Browman were Englewood firefighters during their careers, which eventually included serving as chiefs of other departments. Following the public meetings, the consulting firm will evaluate data gathered and comments of residents as it prepares its report. The report is scheduled to be presented to each of the city councils later this year. The information is to include details of the data gathered and offer options ranging from keeping things as they are to a complete merger of the two departments.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
The Bad,the Good, and in between We just get through — if not over — one Bad thing in the news and another one comes right along, on its heels, and clobbers our heads and hearts. In between something Good makes us feel OK again. For a while. We get buffeted from the Aurora theater massacre to Missy to Jessica Ridgeway to the Broncos miracle to five people murdered in a Denver bar. And that’s just us: metro Denver. Every other city in America and in the world goes through this. Try bookmarking The Los Angeles Times to get some idea of what happens in a larger city, in Los Angeles and the suburbs. “I don’t read the news, or watch it,” a nurse said to me recently. But for some reason he knew about Malala Yousufzai (The Good), the 14-year old Pakistani girl who was shot in the head on a school bus by members of the Taliban (The Bad). There are statistics for absolutely everything. Except this: How many of us are Good and how many of us are Bad? I know: “Good” and “Bad” are very
broad generalizations, and that some of us are both Good and Bad. Or more Good than Bad, or more Bad than Good. But some of us are always Good, and some of us are always Bad. Can you picture Missy Franklin EVER being Bad? Even a little Bad? Me either. When I was sitting in Miss Frobischer’s first-grade class in Uniontown, Pa., I am sure I thought that all 18 of my classmates were Good, and would be Good forever. In reality one of them probably opened a puppy mill (The Bad) and one of them smacked his wife around (The Bad). One of them served in Vietnam (The Good) and one of them became an honest poli-
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Shame on council for Clarkson vote I’m writing to express my extreme disappointment, disgust, and disillusionment at the decision made by the Englewood City Council, the decision to permanently close South Clarkson Street. This is clearly a shafting of the citizens of Englewood, particularly, of those of us who live east of Logan, north or south of Highway 285. Closure of Clarkson seriously affects the traffic patterns for citizens who have used this thoroughfare to travel across Highway 285 (Jefferson) and get across the creek. We will be forced to travel Logan, Sherman or Broadway to do so. How many years do we think it will take before Craig builds a building on this prime piece of real estate — two? three? For any who really thinks that patient safety is at the heart of the request to close Clarkson, I have some swamp land in Florida you will want to buy. Craig and Swedish are slowly eating the center of Englewood, creating a medical campus that pays no taxes but uses all of our city services, eating away at the innards of Englewood like cancer. Some council members voiced concern that Craig has been such a good citizen, and ‘what if’ Craig should leave ... (my interpretation). My neighbors concerned about this project said, “But, I thought it was a done deal.” Based on what I observed at Monday’s council meeting, it was already a DONE DEAL! No one is denying the good that comes from the work done at Craig. However, the patients need to learn to live in their real world. This means, for example, they (and Craig’s employees) use the elevators of Craig’s buildings to gain access to the two-level street crossover bridge. They cannot expect a park to provide access for them from one side of every street to the other. As I said, I am disappointed, disgusted, and disillusioned with council’s lack of appreciation of the needs of the citizens of Englewood. So, shame on you council members Penn, McCaslin, Wil-
son, Olson and Woodward. You have lost my appreciation for thinking that you attempt to do a good job. You have lost my support. But, worse than that, you have lost my respect. Suffice it to say, Englewood residents, your interests have been bulldozed by the very people you elected to protect those interests! Marjorie L. Becker Englewood
Newell listens and comes through Some truths about Sen. Linda Newell, who is running for re-election in Colorado’s District 26: It is a hotly contested race; she listens to all of her constituents; and I know she has considered my position on an issue after listening to my concerns; even so, Sen. Newell has not always voted they way I would have preferred (and I know why). These are just some of the reasons I continue to support her. However, in addition to this, 97 percent of her bills were passed with bipartisan support during the last legislative session. She works across the aisle to gets things done for her district and the state. On the other hand, her opponent — I recently met him during the “Sheridan Celebrates” activities. His booth included a large Arapahoe County Republicans banner, which implied to me that he will legislate on behalf of his party. Sen. Newell’s booth had literature on her legislation, her activities in the community and her desires for the future along with campaign literature. She did not tout party affiliation. She represents her district regardless of party. There was a recent attack demeaning to the senator and to those she represents. I am convinced those behind the 527 political group that created and sent it (about which no information is available) don’t even live in the district. I don’t need to be convinced of Sen. Newell’s value as a senator. I’ll be voting for her. Vicki Tosher Englewood
tician* (The Non Sequitur). I have had my moments in both camps, but in general I think I am The Good. I am not as Good as my sister. She is The Good beyond my comprehension. It’s always disappointing when The Good turn out to be The Bad. Lance, Lance, Lance. You break my heart. Joe Paterno. His Bad was adjunctive, however, and I because of that I will always have compassion for him. Some of us have no choice. We are born under a Bad sign, whether it is indifferent parenting, or squalor, or the proximity to gangs, illegal drugs, or gunrelated mayhem. I am sure that one of my classmates looked over the shoulder of another one when we were tested on fruits and stole an answer, and years later he stole a fruit truck. We can be scammed partly because we believe or want to believe that people are basically Good. Then we see our doctor on “60 Minutes” and it’s not because she has donat-
ed a kidney. She’s sitting there with re-used syringes, and a candy dish of Oxycodone, Percocet, and Dexedrine. Back to the nurse. I know a number of people who don’t read or watch the news. The nurse said, “I can’t do anything about it anyhow.” Neither can I, but I need to know. I want to stay informed for one thing, and for another, Bad news — I have to say this carefully — is a part of my general humbug with life, and contributes to the instruction of my thoughts, my writing, and even my painting. Everything isn’t festooned with sunflowers. Finally, now and then Bad news might give us a Good Laugh: “Other than that, how did you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln?” *Quote: “If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?” Abraham Lincoln

Dragon slayers never give up Did you ever notice that in almost every movie, if not every movie that includes a dragon slayer, the hero is going solo? It’s true, man or woman, adult or child, wizard or warlock, at some point the defender of our safety ends up fighting the fire-breathing beast alone. Pushed backwards to the edge of a precipice or cliff, our valiant dragon slayer is down to just their sword and shield and in some cases, just his or her sword. I have even seen in some movies where they may have no weaponry at all, they are in the final throes of battle with just their bare hands, just like Harry Potter who lost his wand. As viewers of a movie or readers of the book, we are caught up in this intense moment with the character, our hands get sweaty and our hearts race as if we are the ones in battle and quite possibly about to die. With all of our hearts and might, we “will” the hero to succeed. We

Ballot rumor shot down Clerk refutes claim that brought some to centers By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Every ballot cast will be counted. The only requirement is that ballots must be cast by 7 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 6. Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Nancy Doty’s office issued that statement after a number of residents came to early voting centers asking to turn in their mail-in ballots and use voting machines because they had heard the mail-in
ballots will not be counted. Doty said the rumor is not true and she assured residents that all ballots cast will be counted. Doty said that, if a resident received a mail-in ballot, there is no need to go to the polls to cast a substitute ballot on a machine. She said the mail-in ballot allows voters to take their time and consider the candidates and issues from the comfort of their home before marking their ballots. Then, they can return the ballot with total confidence that it will count, the same as any vote cast on a voting machine. The voting process is under way. The county on Oct. 15 began send-
ing mail-in ballots to voters who signed up for them. The mail-in ballots can be returned by mail with 65 cents postage or can be turned in at any of the drop-off sites throughout the county. Also, there are eight early voting centers in operation. The hours of operations vary but the centers will be in operation until Nov. 2. To find a mail ballot drop-off or voting location nearest you, the location and hours of the early voting centers or for more information about the Nov. 6 general election, contact the county’s elections division at 303-795-4511 or visit the website at www.arapahoevotes.com.
Walker unopposed for RTD position District D incumbent running for full term By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Jeff Walker is assured of election, as he is the only candidate on the ballot seeking to represent District D on the Regional Transportation District Board of Directors. RTD District D includes southern Denver, Englewood, Sheridan and Bow Mar. Walker, the incumbent, was appointed to the board in September 2011 to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Barbara Brohl.
“I am seeking to serve a full term on the board because, as an urban planner, I see this as a way I can contribute and give back to a city that has been Walker so good to me,” Walker said. “I enjoy serving on the board and I appreciate the opportunity to learn more about the metro area.” As he looks forward to serving the next four years, Walker, who has worked for Xcel Energy since 2006, said he plans to work with RTD and the communities to make the base
system more efficient. He also wants to find ways to complete FasTracks as soon as possible. “I’m not sure how we will get FasTracks completed more quickly,” he said. “But we need to explore and evaluate all opportunities to move the project forward toward completion.” Walker was born and raised in Ohio and earned his bachelor’s degree in mass communications from Miami University in Ohio and a master’s degree in public administration at the University of Akron. He also attended the University of Denver’s law school in 1991.
Clarkson: Two officials oppose closure Clarkson continues from Page 1
Council Member Jim Woodward said he would vote for the closure. “When this issue came up my first reaction was it was a crazy idea,” n he said. “The more I looked at the issue and evaluated it, the more it made sense.” y Council Member Jill Wilson also -supported the closure. s She said she had heard the con-cerns of residents who opposed the -proposal, but she had also heard rfrom a number of residents who s n m
supported it. “I am confident Craig will be a good neighbor and will work with the city to mitigate any traffic or parking problems if they happen,” she said. Council Member Rick Gillit said he had serious concerns about the closure because it seemed to be a good deal for Craig but would be an inconvenience for area residents. “I feel there are workable options to closing Clarkson,” Gillit said. “I also see closing the street as a taking because, at least, the city should
be compensated for the land that will now be part of Craig.” Council Member Joe Jefferson said he generally was supportive of the proposal, but wanted to see if wording could be inserted into the street vacation that would return that property to the city if Craig were to leave. He offered the wording change as an amendment. It didn’t pass. Mayor Randy Penn said he supported the proposal and called for a vote. Only Jefferson and Gillit voted against it.

to be against us. The truth is that the biggest dragons we face are self-imposed and come in the shape of bad attitudes, lack of work ethic, compromised personal character, and wrong behaviors. So many people I coach and speak with completely understand their competitive landscape, they know who their enemies are and how they behave, they recognize the impact that the economy has and real-world environment that they work and play in. But what they fight most often, the dragons that frustrate them beyond any other, are the self-imposed belief systems or habits that they themselves have created. Journey back with me to the movie scene, our hero or heroine is backed up to a cliff, the dragon is
furiously breathing fire and attacking with claws and spiked tail, and the dragon slayer has two choices and two choices only…they can accept defeat and be killed by the dragon, or they can fight back, finding the dragons weak spot, and thrusting their sword into that spot to claim victory. Even the dragon slayer who has lost sword and shield and whose demise seems imminent, somehow in the climactic moment a new sword appears and a sun shines behind the dragon cast-

out of the store, his vehicle and all his critters were gone. In various media interviews, Arizona resident Rakoci said he was known as “Wildman Phil” and he makes his living as a reptile educator who visited schools so students could learn about the animals he had in his vehicle. He was in the area to visit several Colorado schools, with plans to go to Nebraska next week, when his vehicle was stolen.
He reportedly said his interest was getting the animals back because they aren’t props, they are live animals. According to a police report, the owner said the vehicle contained a 13-foot Burmese python, a rattlesnake, five non-poisonous snakes, scorpions, tarantulas, lizards, a snapping turtle and tortoises. One of the critters is a three-legged African desert tortoise named Stumpy that has a custom-made wheel at-
tached to his missing leg. Rakoci also had a loaded 30.06 bolt-action rifle in the vehicle that, according to the report, he was planning to sight in for next week’s hunting trip. The vehicle was a blue 1999 GMC Suburban with Arizona personalized license plates reading TEDDIJO. Law enforcement agencies throughout the metro area were alerted about the theft and about the contents of the vehicle.

Halloween decor - more treat than trick
While displaying ghosts and goblins is great for the kids and the standard for Halloween decor, how about getting into the spirit but with a bit more sophistication this year? If you are throwing a Halloween party for those adults who are kids at heart, a spooky holiday theme can still be part of the festivities, but with a touch of panache. There are many directions you can go with a decoration theme. Certainly there are the colors of black and orange that can be integrated into the decor and the use of pumpkins or candles, which still scream Halloween but can be displayed elegantly. Gary LaVasser, academic director in Set & Exhibit Design at The Art Institute of California - Hollywood, a campus of Argosy University, says that while everyone thinks of orange and black
consider the combination of dark red and black. At Halloween, any time black is used it represents scariness and the dark red can be symbolic of blood. “For a more sophisticated look, combine dark red arrangements of roses, cover them in black hat veiling so that you see the roses through the veil and tie them together with black satin ribbon,” he suggests. “If you want to go a little further, place the arrangement on an inexpensive black placemat and drip dark red nail polish from a few rose petals onto the placemat. It will look like the roses are bleeding.” LaVasser also has these tips for alternative but sophisticated Halloween decor: • Use vintage Halloween toys from the 1930s, 40s or 50s as part of the design. If they are worn they have more character. Combine them
with garlands of silk fall leaves available at most craft stores, tree branches or wheat and place on mantels or dining tables. • Paint objects black that normally are not this color. For example, jack-o-lanterns are orange so spray them black for a twist on a familiar item. Also consider painting
real flowers black. To make objects more interesting, select different black textures such as using matte, glitter, satin, gloss or metallic paints. •The colors of fall are rich earth tones and these colors also associate with Halloween. Add a little “punch” by using a deep purple color. It can be an interesting contrast to oranges
and gold tones. Also consider using metallic gold, copper and pewter colors. You can paint leaves or pumpkins with these shades as well. LaVasser adds that one can look for inspiration among different cultures and how they celebrate certain holidays or Halloween. A Latino tradition is Day of the Dead, ob-
served on November 1st and 2nd, which celebrates family and friends who have passed. “Day of the Dead decor includes folk art, candles, colorful flowers and bright ribbons together with skeletons,” says LaVasser. “This theme offers great options for Halloween.” Source: Brandpoint (Formerly ARA Content)

KEZW grows solar garden in neighborhood Station is second in U.S. to be sun-powered By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com On a prairie bluff overlooking a dog park, an enclave of high technology looms. It’s technology that has launched KEZW Studio 1430 AM into historic notoriety as the second and largest radio station in the United States to be powered by solar energy. “The thing that’s really cool to me is that the station that plays the oldest music has the newest technology,” said deejay Rick Crandall at an Oct. 19 ceremony to dedicate the station’s solar garden. That, along with a transmitting station and several antennas, is on the western edge of David A. Lorenz Regional Park, along East County Line Road between Colorado Boulevard and Holly Street. The solar project is part of parent company Entercom’s 1Thing environmental initiative, which encourages everyone to do just one thing every day to preserve the environment, coming one step closer to a sustainable world. The project is designed to reduce dependency on the power grid and showcase renewable energy. Atop the bluff sit 12 banks of solar panels, each one with 36 individual panels generating a total of 100,000 watts of power. In June 2011, KEZW’s energy bill was about $1,360; today it averages $270
a month. “The KEZW solar project has been challenging and exciting for me,” said Jeff Garrett, chief engineer at the station’s parent company, Entercom Denver. “The science that allows that production of electricity from photons of light is cutting-edge.” Cary Hayes of REC Solar, the company that installed the system, agrees it was a challenging project. It only took about two months to build, he said, but permitting and design took more than a year. There was a lot of testing involved, as well, to make sure the solar energy wouldn’t interfere with the radio signal. That resulted in a sophisticated grounding system built into the Trex fencing around the panels. “We went above and beyond what we normally do,” said Hayes. Local dignitaries were on hand at the event to welcome KEZW to the neighborhood. “It’s great for them to make this investment,” said Rick Owens, chair of the Highlands Ranch Metro District. “It aligns with what Highlands Ranch is doing in our facilities.” He mentioned LED holiday lights and solar locks and lights in all the park restrooms as examples. “It’s another great example of sensible sustainability,” agreed Lone Tree Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Millet. “It’s a great example of leadership, just like our arts center.” She noted that Lone Tree Arts Center is the city’s first LEEDcertified building “We are excited about the future, and I’m honored to be part of converting sunlight into radio waves,” said Garrett.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Talk to a lender first. Know what you can qualify for before you start looking.

o, you want to build a redwood deck on the back of your home. You contact Joe Contractor and he agrees to build it for $15,000.00. You pay him $5,000.00 down, make progress payments to him and pay the remaining amount at the time the project is finished. You love your deck. Two weeks later, you receive a notice from ABC Lumber Company.
Joe Contractor did not bother paying for the 2x4s and other lumber which he used to build your deck, and the supplier now wants his $10,000.00 for the lumber. The supplier is threatening to place a mechanic’s lien on your property unless he is paid. A mechanic’s lien is a tool used by contractors, workers and suppliers for payment for work that has been done on your property which improves it. You are obviously upset because you paid the full amount to Joe Contractor, and expected him to
pay his supplier, only he did not. Well, Colorado law has protected you. In residential properties, as long as the contractor is paid, any lien placed upon your property by a subcontractor or supplier is invalid and any suit brought on that lien will be dismissed. Still, it is a nuisance and could take up to a year for a title company to remove the lien from your property. If you own a commercial property, the Colorado statute discussed above does not apply. However, commer-

Also, the lien statement must be complete and accurate, and must be served on the owner of the property and the general contractor at least ten days before it is recorded in the office of the clerk and recorder of the county in which the property is located. Failure to be accurate and to serve the right parties renders the lien invalid. Timing is also important for the lien to be valid. It must be recorded no later than four months from the time the last substantial work is done on the property, if labor and materials are involved. If the lien is for labor only, then it must be filed no more than two months from the time the project is completed. Finally, the lien expires unless suit is brought on the lien no later than six months after the lien is recorded. So whether you are a property owner concerned that liens could be placed against your property and result in a lawsuit, or a contractor, subcontractor or supplier who wants to get paid for the work he or she has done to improve your property, there are many rules and traps in the mechanic’s lien statute. There is little room for errors. We strongly recommend that you consult a competent real estate attorney if you find yourself on wrong end of this problem, whether you want the lien perfected, or you don’t want it on your property.

cial landowners are also protected thanks to the so-called “trust fund” statute. That law states that that contractor holds any money paid to a contractor in trust for the specific purpose of paying all of his subcontractors and suppliers for that particular job. If he uses the money for other purposes, he commits theft and could face criminal charges. A letter to the non-paying contractor pointing out that he is in violation of the trust fund statute usually brings results. Another glitch in the lien process is when you are the property owner, and your tenant tries to make improvements without your permission, leaving you holding the bag for the $15,000.00 redwood deck. In such cases, in order to avoid a lien on your property, you must post a notice of non-liability on the site of the property in a conspicuous place within five days after you have learned what your tenant has done and the work has started. The claimant, of course, has rights as well whether it is the primary contractor, subcontractor, or supplier. However, he must be careful not to overstate the lien amount. If he or she knowingly exaggerates the claim, he could lose the entire amount of the lien and pay the property owner’s attorney fees in addition.

Lesson of long life: ‘Have fun’
Aspen Grove, nonprofit honor ‘Queen for a Day’ By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Elizabeth Horner, 90, loves purple, the color of royalty — apropos for the “Queen for a Day.” “This has probably been the most joyful day of my whole life, because of the people, not because of the things,” said Horner. And considering she’s lived nearly 33,000 days, that’s saying something. Every month, Aspen Grove Lifestyle Center welcomes a special senior from an area nursing home to get totally spoiled. They’re treated to manicures, cupcakes, clothes, brunch — all kinds of treats fit for a queen. “She’s one of our special ladies,” said Julie Schroeder, activities director at Cherrelyn Healthcare Center in Littleton, where Horner resides. “She’s the secretary of the resident council. She’s very positive and kind and loving, and everything is always wonderful for Elizabeth. She deserves to be honored.” “I don’t know,” Horner replied, laughing. “Maybe honored, but maybe not this much.” Horner is a Denver native and an East
“Queen Elizabeth” gets her nails done courtesy of Avalon spa. The “Queen for a Day” program that chooses a different senior each month is a partnership between Aspen Grove and Bessie’s Hope. Courtesy photo High School graduate, Class of ‘39. After college in Illinois, she taught in Denver elementary schools for 37 years. “I got lucky in my choice of, well, I don’t want to call it `work,’” she said. “It really wasn’t work, it was play most of the time.” The “Queen for a Day” program is a collaboration between Aspen Grove and Bessie’s Hope, a local nonprofit that works

to enhance the lives of seniors who live in care centers by bringing generations together. The “Queen” program particularly focuses on residents who don’t get a
lot of visitors — up to 60 percent don’t get any, according to the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care. “That tugged at our heartstrings,” said Margie Munoz, Aspen Grove’s general manager. “And our retailers are generous beyond belief.” Horner’s special day, Oct. 17, was a special day for Bessie’s Hope, too. During brunch at Panera Bread, co-founder Linda Holloway was surprised with a $5,000 check from the International Council of Shopping Centers Foundation. Aspen Grove is one of four shopping centers in the country to win the ICSC’s 2012 U.S. Community Support Award, earning the award for the nonprofit. Holloway invites the whole community to help make a difference during the Bessie’s Hope Ninth Annual Intergenerational Bowl-a-Thon on Oct. 27 at AMF Littleton Lanes, 2530 E. County Line Road. With teens and seniors taking over the lanes, life lessons are learned and much fun is had. And fun is something Horner knows a lot about. In fact, it’s her secret to longevity. “Just have fun and enjoy life,” she says.

South MetroLIFE Award brings gratitude, tears
Chloe Palmer, 9, of Centennial is a blur of activity as she takes on the jump rope in full costume. Palmer was among more than 600 visitors to the annual Halloween Spooktacular, which was held on Oct. 19 at South Suburban Parks and Recreation’s Goodson Center in Centennial.
COSTUMED CRUSADERS PHOTOS BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY
Hollywood seemed to be the trendy costume theme this year at the South Suburban Spooktacular on Oct. 19. Superheroes, vintage stars and a few from modern animated films were out and about with a mission to haunt. The annual Halloween event offered a safe, supervised alternative to traditional trick-or-treating for children up to 11 years of age and featured a haunted house, carnival games, tattoos, video games, hula hoops and a cookie walk. More than 600 visitors came through the doors of the Goodson Center, 6315 S. University Blvd., emptying the carnival of about 125 pounds of candy.
I’m honored to be honored. Sense of Security, a Colorado-based breast cancer charity that helps patients with non-medical expenses, has been a favorite charity of mine since I was diagnosed seven years ago. In my own small way — with a ton of help from my friends — I have raised money for this unsung charity that lost some of its funding last year — a casualty of budget cuts. On Saturday night, being given an award for my efforts during the annual Champagne and Diamonds fundraiser humbled me. The award reads: “With gratitude, Penny Parker. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to improve the quality of life for breast cancer patients.” Yes, I’m a survivor, but there are so many of us in this sorority that we never wanted to join. As I write this, tears are running down my face. It seems that October — Breast Cancer Awareness Month — is the one time a year that my journey comes flooding back. I was truly blessed to have such supportive people in my corner during that time — my darling husband, Greg Henry, and my BFF, Devany McNeill, who also accompanied me to the event. I want to thank Rita McCoy, executive director of Sense of Security, Vicki Tosher, founder of the charity, and Regional Emmy Award winning doll face Chris Parente, co-host of FOX-31’s “Everyday,” who emceed. I also want to give a shout-out to the Embassy Suites in downtown Denver, which blew me away with their banquet service of perfectly cooked beef tenderloin (like buttah), crisp asparagus and a potato dish. Amazing. Thanks to all who deemed me worth of such an honor. If you’d like to contribute to such a deserving organization, go to www.senseofsecurity.org. Since its inception in 2000, Sense of Security has provided more than $1.4 million in financial assistance to more than 860 breast cancer patients in Colorado.
Think pink for charity
The 9th Door, the sexy tapas bar on Blake Street in LoDo, is donating proceeds from its Pink Coyote cocktail to Sense of Security during October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This could be the most fun you’ll ever have while donating to a worthy cause. See you there! For more information, go to www.senseofsecurity.org.
Historic Landmark status
Dressed as Mr. Fredrickson from the animated comedy “Up,” 2-year-old Hunter Brito is all smiles at the South Suburban Halloween Spooktacular Oct. 19 at the Goodson Center in Centennial. The annual event provides a safe and supervised alternative to traditional trick-or-treating.
Vintage Hollywood comes alive in 4-year-old Kimberly Brito’s interpretation of Audrey Hepburn’s classic role in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Kimberly was one of close to 600 visitors to South Suburban’s Halloween Spooktacular, at Centennial’s Goodson Center.
Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar designated Denver’s Civic Center as a National Historic Landmark on Wednesday, marking it as the City and County of Denver’s first NHL and one of two Civic Centers in the country to achieve this prestigious recognition, announced Historic Denver Inc., the Denver nonprofit that submitted the NHL nomination. Celebrations to honor this historic moment will take place in Denver’s Civic Center in 2013.

Soccer team wraps up rebuilding season Pirates close out campaign on up note with win over rival Elizabeth By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Wins were hard to come by for the Englewood boys soccer team this season, but a goal by sophomore Tony Rosales proved to be the difference as the Pirates closed out their schedule with a 1-0 win over Elizabeth. The Cardinals mounted a number of attacks and put 13 shots on goal. But Englewood goalie Jason Kavinsky made stops on the six shots that had the potential to score as he helped his team go on the road Oct. 18 and get the win over Elizabeth. The win over Elizabeth means Englewood finishes the season 1-5 in league and 4-10 overall. “I figured going into practice in August this would be a rebuilding season as the players got to know a new coach and his new system and I learned about the players on our team,” first-year coach Chris Kavinsky said. “Of course, we would like to have won more games but this has been a valuable season for us in a lot of ways.” He said, this season, the Pirates learned how to play better as a team and to a technically better game and to play more disciplined and better soccer. “That was important for our team’s future because, while the veteran players came in with many of those basic skills, it
was a learning experience for our younger players,” he said. “We hope most of those younger players will be coming back next year and, when they do, they will know what to expect so we won’t have to start teaching our system from square one.” The coach said there were seven seniors who were all valuable members of this year’s team. “We lose those seniors to graduation in June and they will be missed,” Kavinsky said. “But we have a lot of good players coming back next season that should help us fill the spots created by graduation and give us a solid foundation to build on.” The coach acknowledged one big spot that will have to be filled is goalie. “We are fortunate we have two good backup goalies, Conrad Drolshagen and sophomore Michael Tubbleville,” Kavinsky said. “Both played well this season as backups and they will battle it out next season for the starting job in the nets.” He said plans are to keep the players working on their skills during the summer by scheduling voluntary weekly practices and looking into having the players take part in some scrimmages or practice games. “The summer practices will let us get a jump on getting the players in condition to play soccer when the fall season rolls around,” he said. “It’ll also get the guys thinking soccer and working on their soccer skills.” Coach Kavinsky said the leadership of this year’s seniors will be missed but he expects returning lettermen like Austin Trail and Connor Shear to emerge as the new team leaders.
Englewood’s Je DeMarco (19) and Brandon Borja (20) move into position to trap the ball when it comes down during a game early in the season. The Pirates won their final game of the season, besting Elizabeth 1-0 to finish the year with a 4-10 overall record. Photo by Tom Munds Junior Connor Shear, one of the players expected to return next year, said he felt he is a better soccer player now than at the start of the season. He said his technical skills have improved and he has learned a lot about playing as team. During the season, Shear saw time early in the season at midfield and moved to defense for most of the year. “I was comfortable at midfield but, after playing defense most of the season, I like playing defense better,” he said. “I like to be aggressive, go out and use my skills and my body break up the attack.
It is good for the team and there is recognition when you kill a break away or deflect a shot than making the plays as a midfielder.” Shear said as one of the returning starters, he knows he’ll be looked on for leadership so he wants to help promote the summer practices. “Good summer practices will help us to begin to build the team before the season even starts,” he said. “We want to take full advantage of the team building we accomplished this season as a foundation for a better team next fall.”
Pirates close out the cross country season Englewood runs well but have no individual or team state qualifiers By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Englewood High School cross country teams performed well Oct. 18 over the difficult regional course at Clement Park but the effort wasn’t good enough to earn any of the Pirates trips to the state tournament. Regionals are the state qualifying competition. This year, Englewood was in the regionals with 14 other teams, including some of Colorado’s elite cross country teams. Runners earn points based on where they finish in the field. The combined scores of the top five runners determines a team’s score and the top five teams in the final standing advance to state. Additionally, all the runners in the top 15 finishers advance to state whether or not a runner’s team qualified. Englewood’s best hope for a state qualifier rested with sophomore Chad Glover. Glover time was 17:30, two seconds faster than he ran at the Windjammer Invitational. “Chad (Glover) ran well for us and he finished 25th,” Coach Bill Ambron said. “He was 32nd when he passed me so he passed seven runners between that point and the finish line. He is a sophomore and will steady get better.” The times for the remainder of the Pirate boys team was: Eric Almanzar 18:37, Tucker Horan 18:58, Mitch McDonald 19:56, Cole Horan 20:10, Collin Owen 22:03 and Luis Morales 25:01 Mitch McDonald said it has been a good season with a lot of improvements. For example, he was running the five kilometer courses in about 21 minutes at the start of the season and finished the year with a time of 18:30 at regionals. “This was a tough course and a tough field,” he said.
“The wind was in our face and it sort of held me back a bit.” The junior said he set a goal at the start of the season to get his time down to about 19:30 and exceeded that by posting a season best time of 18:30. “I plan to come back next year and continue to work to improve my time,” he said. “Track will help me improve my speed and I will carry that over to faster times in cross country next year because I already have a goal of running under 18 minutes in 2013.” He said he likes to run and it’s fun because it feels good to challenge yourself. He said there is a greater feeling of accomplishment crossing the finish line when you have run a good time and completed another five kilometer race. Coach Ambron said he was pleased that Englewood was able to enter a full team in the girls division at regionals “Having a full team with five girls in the race for Englewood is something to celebrate,” he said. “After all, if you remember last year, we only had one girl entered in regionals.” He said he had girls join the team who were willing to put in the work necessary to run cross country. Mason Brainard set the pace for the Pirates girls team as she was 48th with a time of 22:11. The times for the other members of the Englewood team were: Kadie Kavinsky 22:54, Natalie Pena 23:39, Maddie Avjean 25:02, Shawna Ethridge 26:27 and Cassy Ransom 27:01. Ransom said she loves to run track, wanted to get in shaped for track so she decided to run cross country this season. “I’m not use to running distances so it took a lot of work to get in shape for a five kilometer race,” the senior said. “But it was worth it. I improved a lot and I got so I could feel comfortable running the races.” Ransom said she likes to run and she prefers running the sprint races in track.

“The distance is a lot longer so I try to keep my eyes on the shoes of the girl in front of me and see if I can pick up the pace and pass her,” she said. “I also think about a lot of different things as a way to distract myself so I don’t focus on how far it is to the finish line.” She said it was a new experience and it was fun running cross country and being part of the team. She added that she feels it is a good way to spend the fall sports season of her senior year.

Englewood again seeks elusive grid win After disappointing loss, Pirates look to break four-game losing streak By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com
Englewood will look to rebound against Vista Peak on Oct. 26 and snap the team’s four game losing streak. The Pirates appeared about to break the losing streak last week but Weld Central rallied in the closing minutes for a touchdown and two-point conversion to win, 14-7. “We should have won the Weld Central game,” Pirates coach Jay Graves said. “But we are young, we had some guys suffer some minor injuries and they got that winning touchdown. Now, we need to regroup, rework what we do because we are very capable of winning the last two games of the season.” The Pirates will travel to Aurora Public School Stadium on Oct. 28 for their game with Vista Peak. The Bison come into the game with a 2-6 record overall and they are 1-2 in league after winning the high-scoring battle with Skyview last week, 62-41. - Vista Peak operates out of a pro-set rspread formation and likes to take advanatage of the speed of its players and throw the football. The team has gained 1,299 gyards through the air this year. Quarterrback Adam Puehler has completed 87 of 169 passes for 1,038 and eight touchdowns. His favorite receiver is D.J. Ortiz who has caught 33 passes for 435 yards -and four touchdowns. However, they will run the ball and have had some success, rushing for a to-
tal of 940 yards this season. Puehler also has good speed and has run the ball 66 times for 73 yards and two touchdowns. But the team’s rushing leader is Herron Kyree who has carried the ball 55 times for 291 yards. “This should be a good football game,” the Pirates coach said. “Vista Peak is a lot like us. They are young and the guys on both teams are about the same size. We want to win and, to do that, we need to play our A game and play Pirate football.” The Englewood-Vista Peak game will be played at Aurora School Stadium located next to Hinkley High School at 1250 Chambers Road. The kickoff is scheduled at 1 p.m. and admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students with school identification. Englewood had to be disappointed in last week’s loss to Weld Central. It was a tough, hard-fought, scoreless battle for three quarters. Early in the fourth quarter, the Pirates scored and got the extra point but Weld Central countered with a TD of its own but missed the extra point so the Pirates held a 7-6 lead as time was winding down. With just over two minutes left in the game, Weld Central got a drive going. Eventually they drove down and scored. They successfully completed the twopoint conversion, winning the game 147. Graves said the team got a key players back for Weld Central as Damasjae Currington had sufficiently recovered from his knee injury to return to the lineup. Currington wore a brace on his injured knee and the coaches moved him to nose guard on defense and center on offense so he wouldn’t have to be as mobile as he would be at offensive guard and defensive tackle. “I’m glad to be back on the field,” he
Englewood’s Chris Gutierrez (10) moved in to help tackle a Woodland Park running back in a game earlier this season. Gutierrez is one of the team tackle leader and leads the team in interceptions with four. File photo
said. “I’m not 100 percent yet but I am getting better each day.” Pirate coaches agreed that junior Chris Gutierrez had another good game against Weld Central. Gutierrez plays corner back on defense and, against Weld Central, made his fourth interception of the season and is one of the tackle leaders with 22 solo hits and six assists. On offense, he is a wide receiver and pass receiver where he has caught nine passes for 116 yards and one touchdown. “This has been an up and down season for me,” he said. “The first game I didn’t play very well but I picked it up af-
ter that.” The junior said he is a better football player this season as he is bigger, stronger and faster than he was last season. He said he doesn’t care if he plays offense or defense because all he wants to do is to be in the game. “I like catching passes and scoring touchdowns,” he said. “But I also like to hit people when I am on defense.” Gutierrez said he will play hard in the final two games of the season. He added that he plans to be with the Pirates again next season and will work in the off season to get stronger and faster so he can help his team in 2013.
Creek’s Colter ready to rock state By Daniel P. Johnson
djohnson@ourcoloradonews.com
LITTLETON - Moments after Jordyn Colter wrapped up the Class 5A Region 2 girls race Oct. 19 at Clement Park, she transformed from the state’s best runner to best teammate. With a wide smile and arms wide open, Colter one-by-one hugged and congratulated her Cherry Creek teammates as they made their way through the finish line. Colter was certainly pleased with her race; she finished in 17 minutes flat, but was even more elated about the performances of her teammates. “We are a young team with a lot of freshman, so I think we were a little overlooked as a team,” said Colter, a sophomore who is the defending 5A state champion. “We’re proving people were wrong about us and that we have a strong team.” The Bruins finished with 33 points, six ahead of second-place Grandview. Heritage placed third and Regis Jesuit was fourth. By virtue of the top-five finishes, Cherry Creek, Heritage and Regis Jesuit will be headed to the 5A state meet, which is Oct. 27 in Colorado Springs. The 5A girls race begins at 11 a.m. at the Cheyenne Mountain Stampede Cross Country Course. In a unique twist, the state race ends inside the Norris Penrose Equestrian Stadium. t “I love that course,” said Colter, who Iholds the course record. “It has a lot of hills and we’ve trained hills a lot this sea-son, so it’s a chance for us to have all of -that hard work pay off.” Joining Colter at state will be teammates Katie Plomondon (third at region-
als), Sammi Bremmer (sixth), Emily Cutter (ninth), Lillian Markusch (14th), Anne Raymond (15th) and Katie Michel (19th). Lauren Linscott was the top finisher for Heritage. Her time of 19:06 was good for fourth overall and just three seconds behind Plomondon for third-place. Annika Reuter was fifth overall and the second Heritage finisher; like Linscott, she crossed the finish line in 19:06. Nicole Geisen (17th), Erika Neave (26th), Rachel Street (30th), Katie Potts (39th) and Syd Slouka (40th) rounded out the Heritage roster. Madalyn Somer placed 13th overall (19:41) to lead Regis Jesuit. Hannah Feehan was 16th and Meredith Hoggatt was 22nd for the Raiders. Fiona Murphy (24th), Jen Steyaert (29th), Lindsey Koch (32) and Katherine Kelso (36th) also competed for Regis Jesuit. Littleton took part in the Region 1 race and managed to qualify its entire team for state. The Lions finished third overall, thanks to top-20 finishes from Magda Van Leeuwen (11th), Kelly Dinneen (14th) and Rosa Hardarson (15th). Stacey Zuppa finished 24th and Elizabeth Bollendonk was 34th overall for Littleton.
Kent Denver advances to 3A state Thanks to its third-place finish in the 3A Region 3 race, Kent Denver secured a spot in the 3A state meet on Oct. 27. Caroline Kawula was the team’s top finisher as she placed fourth overall with a time of 20:09. Courtney Kolberg was fifth with a time of 20:30, while Julia Jaschke was 13th after finishing in 21:07. Erica Seff was 24th overall with a time of 22:06 and Molly Murphy’s time of 22:38 was good for 29th. Saint Mary’s Academy also took part in
the regional but failed to qualify for state. Emily Staker was the team’s top finisher; she placed 22nd overall – top-15 qualify for state – with a time of 21:47. Summer Hepp (35th), Hadley Bowles (41st), Mariana Avitia (43rd), Karli Heuer (44th) and Gracie Wessels (47th) also ran for the Wildcats.
Martin, Heritage boys ready for state The cross-country course at Clement Park has been a favorite destination for many runners over the years. You can add Heritage’s Christian Martin to the list. Martin finished second in the Class 5A Region 2 race Oct. 18 with a blistering time of 15 minutes, 50 seconds. That was just 12 seconds off the pace set by Cherry Creek’s Alec Brudzinski and good for a second-place finish. “This is my favorite course,” said a beaming Martin after he crossed the finish line. “Normally, you try and go at a nice, steady pace but this course, you start out fast and it seems you just keep going fast the entire race.” Martin’s finish helped the Eagles finish second in the team standings behind the Bruins. By virtue of the top-five finishes, both schools will be headed to the 5A state meet, which is Oct. 27 in Colorado Springs. The 5A boys race begins at 1:30 p.m. at the Cheyenne Mountain Stampede Cross Country Course. In a unique twist, the state race ends inside the Norris Penrose Equestrian Stadium.

Kent Denver tops Bennett, wins Colorado League title Sun Devils move to 8-0 on the season By Daniel P. Johnson
djohnson@ourcoloradonews.com ENGLEWOOD - Bennett may have scored the first knockdown, but Kent Denver supplied the knockout blow. After falling behind 7-0 early in the second quarter of its Class 2A Colorado League game Oct. 19, Kent Denver rattled off 28-straight points over the next two quarters, highlighted by a 73-yard halfback option touchdown pass by Jaden Franklin to Matt Pettyjohn. The Sun Devils would go on to win the game at Justin DeSorrento Memorial Field, 35-14, and clinch the 2A Colorado League title in the process. “We prepared for this game like a playoff game,” said Kent Denver defensive
end, Tom Bluher, who had a sack and a forced fumble. “Bennett is a great team and they are a tough team to prepare for. We made some adjustments in the second half and really came out aggressive on both sides of the ball, and I think that was the difference.” It took Kent Denver (8-0, 4-0) just two plays to score its first points of the second half. Quarterback Joey Matarazzo took off around the right edge on a designed option play. With open space in front of him, the senior tucked the ball down and kept moving downfield, avoiding defenders and the sideline in his path as he rumbled 68 yards to put the Sun Devils up 14-7. “It’s just a matter of reading your keys,” said Matarazzo, who scored on a 1-yard run on his team’s ensuing possession. “I was able to cut the play up the field and got some great blocking from my wide receivers.” One of those wide receivers, Matt Pet-

Photo by Courtney Kuhlen | ckuhlen@ourcoloradonews.com tyjohn, helped put the game out of reach on Kent Denver’s third possession of the second half. Running back Jaden Franklin took a quick pitch from Matarazzo, but, instead of running with the ball, Franklin pulled up and lobbed a perfect pass to a wide-open Pettyjohn, who raced 73 yards for the touchdown as the Sun Devils stretched their lead to 28-7 with 4 minutes, 23 seconds to play in the third quarter. “We knew Bennett was a good team,” Matarazzo said. “This was a good win for us.” Bennett (6-2, 3-1), with its doublewing offense, controlled the clock in the first half, but aside from a 7-yard touch-
down run by Caleb Copeland early in the second quarter, were unable to put points on the scoreboard after several long drives. The Sun Devils answered Bennett’s touchdown with one of their own as Brannon Jones capped off a 7-play, 73yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run that evened the game at 7-7, and the score would remain that way the remainder of the half. “Winning league is the first step for us,” Bluher said. “We’ve got some more goals that we want to accomplish but we know that we can’t get ahead of ourselves. We have to just focus on what’s immediately in front of us.”
A remarkable turnaround By Daniel P. Johnson
djohnson@ourcoloradonews.com Thanks to what the team has accomplished the past two weeks, Saint Mary’s Academy can put the start of the 2012 far in its rearview mirror. The Wildcats, no matter how hard they tried, couldn’t buy a win in the first month of the season, going 0-6-1. “We had a tough start; the team played well but we weren’t finishing,” coach Allison Grenney said. “We also had a lot of injuries.” Two straight wins seemed to move things in the right direction but three more losses left the Wildcats on the verge of being eliminated from postseason play for the second straight year. With no room for failure, St. Mary’s Academy all of a sudden stumbled upon a winning formula, and now, they stand just two wins away from an improbably state championship after they knocked off No. 2 seed and defending state cham-
pion Kent Denver 1-0 in the opening round of the state field hockey tournament. The No. 7 Wildcats (5-9-2) played No. 3 Palmer Ridge (14-2) on Oct. 24 at Denver’s All-City Stadium. The results of the game weren’t available at press time. Palmer Ridge defeated St. Mary’s Academy 3-2 back on Sept. 13. “We all felt like we were capable of doing more,” said junior forward, Bailey Taber. “We are putting our heart into each game and we all trust our teammates that they will be in position to make a play.” After the turbulent start to the season, things began to swing St. Mary’s way after a 2-0 loss to Mountain Vista on Oct. 9. Forty-eight hours later, the Wildcats topped Golden 3-1 in overtime, and followed that up with a victory over Poudre 3-0 and a 0-0 tie with Denver East that clinched the Wildcats’ berth in the postseason. “We had seven players out and were down to our third-string goalie,” Grenney said of the Golden match. “It’s kind of
odd, but that’s really where things started to click for us.” Grenney said the risk of missing the playoffs for the second-straight year was a motivating factor. “We were thankful to get that seventhseed because we knew we hadn’t played to our potential, and that this was going to be our last chance,” Grenney said. “We came into the Kent game really prepared mentally; I told the girls don’t beat yourselves before the game starts. You have to go in thinking you can win, and the girls really did believe it.” The Wildcats heeded their coach’s message and went out and took the fight to the defending champs. Tilly Hallett scored in the first half and, despite constant pressure from the Sun Devils in the second half, St. Mary’s Academy managed to keep the No. 2 seed off of the scoreboard and won the game, 1-0. “Beating Kent Denver was a huge accomplishment,” said Hallett, a junior who led the team with eight goals during the season. “Kent put a lot of pressure on

us in the second half, but the defense really stepped up.” A defense that was led by third-string goalie, Cece Palmquist. Palmquist started the year as a field player on junior varsity and hadn’t played goalie since middle school. She was called into duty after two other goalies were out with injuries. “She pretty much volunteered to play (goalie),” Grenney said. “She’s become a real valuable member of the team.”

‘Becoming Van Gogh’ is Denver-only show Curator spent seven years arranging world-class exhibit By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Timothy Standring, a Denver Art Museum curator, was asked “over a couple flutes of champagne” with the co-curator of the highly successful “Inspiring Impressionism” exhibit: “What will you do next?” The reply: Standring was thinking about a year (1888) in the life of Vincent Van Gogh, one of the world’s IF YOU GO most recogThe Denver Art Museum is nizable arton 13th Avenue, between ists.

In about 10 years, 1880-1890, Van Gogh taught himself to paint and draw and created about 800 paintings and 1,000 drawings and prints. Standring began a seven-year journey — after three months of reading — sending out hundreds of “reserve loan letters” to institutions and private owners who held works by the famous painter. Letters asked that his prospective Denver dates be
“penciled in.” They were sent under the signature of Chistoph Heinrich, who had been named DAM director when Sharp retired. “Becoming Van Gogh,” which opened Oct. 21 and runs through Jan. 20, exhibits 70 Van Gogh works, plus some paintings by artists who influenced his development. They come from over 60 different lending agencies — including Amsterdam, Zurich, Honolulu, Oslo, London and more, plus numerous American museums — throughout the world. Standring traveled more than 100,000 miles to arrange for loans of this extremely valuable art, which will be shown only in Denver. The DAM does not own even one Van Gogh. “Not all came through,” Standring said in an Oct. 5 lecture, where he also discussed the logistics of shipping each item, accompanied by a curator from the lending source. Early in the process, he connected with co-curator Louis van Tilburgh, of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, an expert on the years in Paris. “Van Gogh was rational and consistent about being an artist. This is an exhibit about materials and techniques,” Standring said. Information about the painter usually includes a struggle with mental illness, but it’s not a dominant factor in this story, which focuses on the painter’s intelligence and resourcefulness in absorbing a myriad of influences. The first gallery on the second floor of the Hamilton Building shows drawings completed as the painter studied instruction books. He started in Holland, determining to become an artist after four failed career starts. “You have to know how ink will flow from the pen — you lay in the lighter layers first,” Standring said regarding a particularly fine draw-
ing from this early period — which required three trips to Oslo by the persuasive curator. “He had an incredible mind.” Progressing through the handsome galleries, each with an intense background color on the wall, a viewer follows Vincent’s development in technique and focus. Love of nature shines through. He began to paint and sent works to his art dealer brother, Theo, who supported him financially throughout his life. (Vincent’s letters to Theo are a major source of information.) When he sent the first masterpiece, the dark “The Potato Eaters,” Theo suggested he use more color and a study of Dutch master painters ensued. Colorful still lifes, which Theo said were salable, joined the constant flow of artwork. He went to Paris, then the center of the art world, and studied and painted, becoming acquainted with Toulouse-Lautrec and other painters, including Pontillists. Japanese prints were an influence. “The Japanese aesthetic offered a different way to look at a plain surface,” Standring commented. Later, he went to southern Francs — Arles — where he “became Van Gogh,” said Christoph Heinrich. He spent his final years creating in the style best recognized, textured with bright, small strokes that seem to be in motion as one views the works. The fields, cypresses, poppies, water and sunlight appear, with rustic cottages and rural people. Allow several hours to absorb the variety of works in this beautifully organized exhibit, which is drawing attention from the art world across the nation. Use the accompanying audio guide. For art lovers, this exhibit is a “don’t miss.” Get tickets early — they will probably sell out.

Writer ranges over peaks, parks By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The Spanish IF YOU GO Peaks, 12,000 feet The Colorado Author high and often Open House at Koelbel capped with snow, Library, 5955 S. Holly St., have been landCentennial, will be from 1 marks through to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. the centuries — to 27. A number of local auNative Americans, thors will display, sell and Spanish and other autograph their books— explorers, to Santa and chat with visitors. Fe Trail travelers and to today’s motorists. They have inspired legends and speculation and invited people such as Mike Butler, who has
homes in Highlands Ranch and Walsenburg, to explore surrounding trails and history. He gathered facts, stories and lots of historic photos — including a batch copied on a freezing cold day at La Veta’s Fort Francisco. Butler began his talk with William Henry Jackson’s shot of the peaks, followed by a recent one of his own — no real change. He gave a power point lecture to a group at Koelbel Library on Oct. 14 about his “Around the Spanish Peaks” and will return there for Koelbel’s Colorado Authors Open House from 1 to 3 p.m. on Oct. 27. By that time, he will have copies of a new title in hand: “Exploring Denver’s Mountain Parks: A Guide to 22 His-
toric Getaways.” Prior to his retirement, he worked as administrative manager for the parks division of Denver Parks and Recreation. He came to treasure the mountain parks and regret that they are not better known. Here is a guide to finding and enjoying each one of them. Photos of the dikes that spread out at the base of the Spanish Peaks interested the audience. While geologists say the actual peaks are not volcanic, the material in the dikes is magma, a volcanic material that pushed up through cracks in the surface. They can be clearly seen as one drives off the highway into La Veta. Huerfano County was the area he covered in his book and the talk. It is Spanish for “orphan” and comes from a single vol-
canic plug, not quite a butte, which stand out off I-25 just before Walsenburg. Comanche, Apache and Ute people were in the area and the fort in LaVeta , built as protection, has various artifacts showing their presence. A map shows a 4 million acre land grant to Vigil and St. Vrain, the Las Animas Land Grant, in 1823. Mexico did not want Americans in the area , however, St. Vrain sold his to Francisco, who built the fort. He showed the hotel and old stone buildings in La Veta that date to early days-one can pick up a walking tour brochure. Included: the former medical office/hospital building that is now a B&B. The library has been featuring Colorado authors through the month of October.

Mrs. Littleton hopes to inspire Brannin Travis, 25, looks ahead to statewide pageant
d
e ,By Jennifer Smith sjsmith@ourcoloradonews.com s d n Brannin Travis put Littleton’s best nmarried face forward next fall in the Mrs. oColorado pageant. “It’s a jump-start to what I’ve always ewanted my life to be,” said the new Mrs. yLittleton. “Sharing my story and, more -importantly, hearing other people’s -stories.” Ironically, the new Mrs. Littleton didn’t live in Littleton when she won the title, but she will soon. Travis, 25, and her husband, Omiah, are excited to be moving from Jefferson County to a home in the Sterne Park neighborhood. The couple own Beacon Restoration, a Jeffco roofing company that earned a “Best of the Best” nod from Colorado Community Media’s readers this year. Travis helped found the Colorado Roofing and Restoration Council and sits on its board, helping write policy. “Some of my words are actually public state law now,” she said. Living and working together can present challenges, she notes, but her husband is proud to be Mr. Littleton. “He’s supportive and excited in some ways, but in some ways he thinks it’s hilarious, as any husband probably would,” , she said. The obvious question: Is there a swimsuit competition? Although Travis would certainly not have a problem with one, there’s not. There’s also no talent segment — no baton twirling or juggling at Mrs. Colorado. “We here at the Mrs. Colorado pageant believe that being married is talent enough,” proclaims its website.
“Family of Peace” by John Lennon, serigraph on handmade paper, 1977, will be exhibited at Streets of SouthGlenn Nov. 2-4. Courtesy photo Brannin Travis will represent Littleton in the Mrs. Colorado pageant next fall. Courtesy photo
Travis, however, has lots of talents — refinishing antiques, running a business and raising her 7-year-old daughter among them. “Hands down, I’m proudest of my daughter,” she said. “She was kind of my guardian angel. She saved me from a lot of things, unknowingly. Every day she inspires me. She’s just a great human.” She’d like to use her newfound notoriety to benefit wounded warriors, suicide prevention and, most of all, kids. “I was given a pretty good road, a pretty easy path by my parents,” she said. “But I chose to make things difficult for myself by making bad decisions. But I bounced back. I feel like have a lot to share with my community.”

University Blvd, Centennial.
