Inter-Faith distributes food for holiday Boxes contain enough for traditional Thanksgiving By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com There were tears in her eyes as Lucia Hernandez talked about what a Thanksgiving food box from Inter-Faith Community Services meant to her and her family. “I am a single mom with three children. I have three part-time jobs. The pay is enough to get by but there is nothing for extras,” the Littleton woman said as she waited to pull her car into Inter-Faith to receive the box. “This box will be such a blessing for us. I try to be thankful for what we have but this food will make Thanksgiving special for us.”
Hernandez’s car was among several hundred in line Nov. 17 for the annual InterFaith Thanksgiving food-box distribution. This year, the organization distributed 800 boxes to needy families and seniors, so a small army of volunteers were on hand to make the project work. There were volunteers from schools and service clubs. For example, there were a number of volunteers from the Centennial Rotary Club, members like Ken Hope. “This is a great way to give back to the community,” the former Englewood resident said. “There are a lot of folks out there who had a job last year but are now are out of work and can use a little help.” A short distance away, Cherry Creek student Ashley Klingbiel was helping set up the food boxes before the distribution began. “I am a member of the Enact Club, the high school version of Rotary,” she said.
“There are seven of us here today. I think being here is a great idea because we are doing something that will help a lot of people have a nice Thanksgiving.” Brad Bernero of Parker was among volunteers delivering boxes to seniors. “I am glad to do this,” he said. “All the seniors are nice people and a lot of them are happy to see us and talk to us. I like to do this as a way to give back to the community. It is a lot better than just sitting around the house.” Even as food was being distributed, additional food donations were coming in. “Our church, Abiding Hope Lutheran, held a food drive and collected 100 boxes and 100 pounds of potatoes,” Littleton resident and church member Ron Siegfried said as he unloaded several boxes out of his car. “It is our way to help Inter-Faith and to help needy families in the area.”
Pilot program offers hope for spinal injuries Chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage among treatments By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com A 67-patient pilot program in Colorado has a chance to change the health-care landscape in America, specifically for those suffering from severe spinal cord injuries. Based out of Progressive Health Center, on the campus of Swedish Medical Center in Englewood, the program exists because of the hard work of Chanda Hinton Leichtle, 30, who has spent the past 21 years as a quadriplegic. Shot in the back of the neck
accidentally when she was just 9 years old, Hinton Leichtle spent much of her life on a heavy diet of pharmaceuticals. At one point she was on as many as four high-dose painkillers a day. Since she began integrating alternative treatments nine years ago, everything has changed. Hinton Leichtle discovered not only the physical and emotional benefits but the financial impact as well. The only problem was, despite her newfound treatments — acupuncture, massage and chiropractic — being preventive and more cost-efficient, Medicaid did not cover them. Her response? She launched a nonprofit, the Chanda Plan Foundation, which operates on a $250,000 annual budget

Members of the Englewood Academy founding board of directors explained facts and answered questions about their proposal to establish a charter school in Englewood at a Nov. 13 public meeting. The board of directors submitted the application to establish Englewood’s first charter school, which has not yet settled on a location, on Oct. 1. As part of the application process, the board is required to hold two public meetings. About 50 people attended the Nov. 13 meeting, which was the first of two regarding establishment of a charter school in Englewood. The second meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Nov. 27 at Maddox Elementary School, 700 W. Mansfield Ave. Englewood School Board members attended the Nov. 13 meeting to hear comments from the public, and they also will attend the Nov. 27 meeting. The board will hold a workshop on Nov. 27, following the meeting, to discuss the charter school proposal. The school board is tentatively set to make a decision on the application at its Dec. 11 meeting. The proposal is for the charter school to have at least 200 students attending kindergarten through fifth grade when it opens in August 2013. Plans for expansion call for the school to eventually serve 420 students in kindergarten through eighth grade. At the Nov. 13 meeting, the charter school board members made a presentation and took questions from the audience. Former Englewood teacher Mary Zachariah, charter school founding board president, was the first to speak about the charter school. “Englewood Academy will create a school of choice that offers a program based on core knowledge, offering an alternative educational opportunity for Englewood students,” she said. “It would be a public school and, like public schools, students will not be charged tuition to attend charter school classes.” Plans call for the curriculum to include all core subjects as well as art, music and physical education. Spanish instruction would begin in kindergarten and continue through all grades. Sandy Schoob, an academy board member, talked about financing for the school. She said the school would receive the state per-pupil allocation as the foundation of the budget needed to pay staff and provide a facility for the school. She said Englewood Academy is also applying for a state grant program to help charter schools get started and a private grant program. “We do not have a location yet but we are looking at several different buildings. But we can’t move forward until we know the application has been approved,” she Charter continues on Page 9

Musical trip goes around the world
By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com
Cherrelyn Elementary School students used the spoken word and the universal language of music Nov. 15 to take the audience on an imaginary trip around the world. A choir made up of about 90 fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders performed an hourlong program called “A Small Part of the World” to an audience of about 200 friends and family members. At each “stop,” there was a student who pointed out the country on a globe and then joined three or four classmates discussing information about that country before singing one of that country’s songs. For example, they sang “The Kerry Dance” from Ireland, “The Piñata” from Mexico and “That is Life” from Nigeria. To strengthen the program, the students sang verses of songs in German, Hebrew, Russian and Japanese when they “visited” those countries, and then sang the verse in English. “We wanted to do a music program, I did some research and I found this program that taught the kids about geography and a variety of cultures,” music teacher Katie Primo said after the program. “We started working on the program on Labor Day. The kids worked hard and I think the biggest challenge was helping the kids learn songs in different language.
‘I liked the music and I think the hardest part was learning to sing songs in different languages.’ Emerlie Wages Zoerb We practiced in school and we had the kids practice at home. They did a great job tonight and I couldn’t be more pleased.” Fourth-grader Emerlie Wages Zoerb said doing the program was a lot of fun. “I liked the music and I think the hardest part was learning to sing songs in different languages,” she said. “I liked the singing but I think I most enjoyed doing my spoken parts because I felt it showed how hard I had worked on them.” Fellow student Triston Hercules-Flamenco said it was fun to be part of the choir and to have his sister, fourth-grader Paola, also be part of it. “I had a good time being part of the program and I learned a lot of things about other countries I didn’t know,” Triston said. “Learning the music was not too hard. The hard part was learning to pronounce all those words in other languages.” During the program, Marsha Elliot applauded enthusiastically after

ELECTION DAY WOES
Clerk will become county commissioner in January
Nancy Doty had time to pause for a sigh of relief Nov. 15, nine days after decisively winning the Arapahoe County District 1 commissioner’s seat. “I think it will be less stressful,” said Doty, who is wrapping up her last election as Arapahoe County clerk and recorder. In that job, she has more than 400,000 voters to keep track of; District 1 has a mere

2ND CHANCE
Nancy Doty, whose job as Arapahoe County clerk and recorder puts her in charge of elections, took some heat this year for long lines at the new voting centers, some with waits up to three hours. The centers replaced traditional neighborhood polling places. While voters could go to any center in the county, there are far fewer of them than there were polling places.
114,000 or so residents. She said the commissioners are working out a process to appoint her replacement, and she has no suggestions or idea as to who it Doty might be. “I’d just tell them to be prepared to work hard,” she said. “It’s a big job.” Doty, a Republican, said she’ll focus on economic growth in the county as a commissioner. Her priorities along that line will be promoting the area as family-friendly, working with the business chambers, supporting oil and gas exploration and protecting the South Platte River. “I want to make sure it doesn’t dry up,” she said. “I think it’s a huge part of our economic development here in District 1. No one wants to start a business on a dried-up river.” She said she’ll continue her predecessor Susan Beckman’s work on the South Platte River Working Group, which recently refocused its efforts from acquiring adjacent open space to maintaining and improving current sites. “We have to look at what we have and plan long-
Asked whether she’d recommend her replacement continue that system, she said not doing so would be a mistake. “There’s always room for improvement with most processes, but to do away with voting centers might not be the wisest thing to do,” she said. Her numbers show that less than 15 percent of the turnout voted on Election Day. Just 5 percent cast ballots during the two-week early voting period, leaving 80 percent who mailed them in. “If people don’t want to vote on Election Day when it’s very crowded, there are alternatives,” she said. term, because the money could dry up at some point in the future,” she said. Though noting that hydraulic fracturing and other types of oil and gas drilling aren’t likely to happen in District 1, she said she’d be supportive of it in other sections of the county. “I’d love to have a well drilled in my back yard,” she said. “If we want to have reasonable fuel prices, we need to have reasonable ways to pursue that.” After much research, she said, she’s confident that state regulations on drilling are sufficient to protect the environment from any possible ill effects. The county should take further steps to maintain roads, protect groundwater and limit air and noise pollution, she added. But she stopped short of saying the county should offer incentives to the industry. “The market will make that decision,” she said. “If

they determine it’s feasible and they can be productive here, then they will pursue it.” Municipalities within the county will likely enact their own legislation as the fracking debate heats up. Centennial, where Doty lives, repealed its moratorium on oil and gas development in November and replaced it with a set of regulations to permit exploration within the city. Doty said she trusts the judgment of the municipalities in her district. “I think we need to work respectfully with each other,” she said. That includes Aurora, which allocated money in its 2013 budget to study the feasibility of becoming its own county after years of kicking the idea around. “However they decide to go forward, we want to provide them as much accurate information as possible,” she said.

Englewood Depot listed for sale
Residents’ objections derailed prior attempt By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Englewood Depot is for sale, and the city has elected to seek potential buyers through the request-for-proposal process. The city council approved the move, seeking creative redevelopment and adaptive use of the 1915-era train depot at 3190 S. Galapago St. A request-for-proposal package is available that explains the city’s sale process, contains information about the building and outlines the city’s expectation that the buyer will be able to follow guidelines for historic restoration before putting the building to use. The package is available on the city’s website at www.englewoodgov.org/index. aspx?page=1054. The city initially used a request-for-proposal process in a move to sell the depot in November 2011. In April, only one offer had been presented, which would have done

Holiday lights contest issues call for entries Annual event urges residents to decorate homes By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Applications are available to enter the annual Englewood Holiday Lighting Contest. This is the 25th year for the event that is sponsored by the Keep Englewood Beautiful Commission to encourage residents and businesses to display holiday lights from Dec. 3 until Jan. 4. Entry forms are available at the Englewood Civic Center, Englewood Public Library, Englewood Recreation Center and the Malley Senior Recreation Center. The entry forms also are available online and can be found by going to the city website at www.englewoodgov.org, clicking on the boards and commissions icon, and going to the Keep Englewood Beautiful Commission page. All entries must be returned by Dec. 3 and the displays will be judged on Dec. 11. Sylvia Pacheco said she plans to enter for the first time this year. “I grew up in Englewood in the early
1960s and it seemed everyone around us decorated their houses for Christmas,” she said. “I recently moved back to Englewood and I decided that I would break out the decorations and enter the contest like our family used to do. I hope lots of people decorate their homes because I love to see all the lights and decorations and I think it brightens the holiday season.” All entry forms must be returned by Dec. 3 to the Keep Englewood Beautiful Commission. They can be mailed to the commission in care of the City of Englewood, 1000 Englewood Parkway, Englewood 80110. Judging will be done on Dec. 11, evaluating displays for artistic effect, craftsmanship and originality. The awards will be presented in a number of categories, including mayor’s choice and judges’ choice. Ribbons will be presented to the winners during the Dec. 17 Englewood City Council meeting. For information on the contest, call 303762-2345. Englewood had a lighting contest in the ’50s and ’60s, but it sort of died out. However, 25 years ago, the Keep Englewood Beautiful Commission stepped up, revived the contest and sponsored it as an annual event.
against the sale, and the potential buyer withdrew his bid. Several residents established the Englewood Historic Preserva-
tion Society, seeking to turn the depot into a museum. Another proposal was to build a chocolate museum and factory adjacent to the depot and make the depot into an Englewood museum. The city council has met several times to discuss the future of the depot and finally agreed to again use the request-for-proposal process to seek a buyer. The deadline for proposals is Feb. 28. The depot was built by the Santa Fe Railroad in 1915 and was located on the east side of the tracks, near the present-day U.S. 285 underpass under South Santa Fe Drive. It served as a passenger and freight stop. During World War II it was a transfer point from main-line trains to a spur line running to Fort Logan. Depot use declined, and the building was closed in the 1950s. It sat idle until the site was purchased. The developer planned to demolish the depot if it wasn’t moved. In 1994, the Englewood Historical Society moved the depot to its present location on South Galapago Street. The building has sat empty since it was moved. However, it was placed on the State Register of Historic Places and a partial restoration was done. The society deeded the depot back to the city in 2002.

Eats aren’t only treats at EHS event Chili cook-off, craft fair held By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Lori Pacheco had a smile on her face as she left the Nov. 17 craft fair and chili cookoff held in the Englewood High School field house. “I found the three items I needed to complete my Christmas gift list. Actually, it was hard because there was so many nice things at the craft fair today,” the Littleton woman said. “I didn’t know about the chili cookoff, but I like chili and tried a couple of the entries. I found one I really like and
that was lunch for me, so it was a good day all around.” More than 100 vendors took part in the craft fair, held to raise money to help needy EHS students with expenses like class and sports fees. The variety of items on sale ranged from holiday decorations and fresh honey to hand-knitted scarfs and handmade jewelry. This year, for the first time, the craft fair joined forces with a chili cook-off. The cook-off is an annual event put on by Englewood Unleashed, a nonprofit organization supporting off-leash dog privileges at designated Englewood parks. Chili entries were divided into four categories: red, green, veggie and freestyle. A panel of five judges had the difficult task of determining winners.
Some entries were thin and some were thick with ingredients. Some entries were spicy enough to clear the head but none was spicy enough to trigger sweat. First-place winners were: Luke Woodward (freestyle), Lindsey Cowers (red), Sally Deherta (veggie) and Jackie Clary (green). Cory Tiffany took second place in the green chili category. “My neighbor insisted I enter, so I cooked up my green chili. I agreed but I never expected to win an award,” she said after the contest. “I have a basic way I cook green chili but I don’t really have a recipe. I just add ingredients until it tastes good. If I were to do it again, I’d not change anything. I’d just make a chili that tastes good.”
Holidays can be hazardous for pets By Deborah Grigsby
dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com It’s hard to imagine the holidays as anything other than joyous, yet the very things that make the season so merry can pose hazards to common household pets. According to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, thousands of pets across the country enter veterinary emergency rooms each year with ailments or injuries related to holiday festivities. The ASPCA’s national Animal Poison Control Center received more than 140,000 calls related to pet exposures to toxic substances in 2009 and more than 167,000 such calls in 2010. And while not all ER visits are poison-related, many do come from everyday household items found during the holiday season. “The most common case we see in the ER during the holidays is, ‘My pet got into blank’ — insert your own word,” said Megan Rector, an Englewood-based veterinarian with the Veterinary Referral Center of Colorado. “And it’s everything from cookies, to
Many things that make the holidays merry and bright, such as minature light and power cords, also pose potential health hazards for pets.

things. Power cords and holiday lights are perfect candidates for shock. Loose batteries are not only toxic if chewed, but can cause caustic burns.
• WaTer: Make sure pets have plenty of fresh water. Stagnant tree water can cause nausea and other digestive issues. Tree water with chemical preservatives in it can be toxic. • Tinsel: Best to avoid sparkly, light-catching tinsel. Cats are attracted to its sparkle and it can become a potential choking hazard. • ChoColaTe: Keep foods with chocolate or xylitol away from pets. They can be toxic.

what we see throughout the year,” said Rector, “However, many are trips to the emergency room are preventable with a little bit of forethought.” According to Rector, simple things like not feeding pets spicy, fatty foods and keeping power cords out of reach can prevent illness and injury. Common cold-weather items like antifreeze and liquid potpourri can be lethal and should be stored safely out of reach. “These items are sweet and pets are attracted to them by their smell,” Rector explained. “These items can be very deadly, in some cases causing kidney failure, and cats are at particular risk because they tend to climb on counters. If you’ve got a cat in the house, just get rid of the liquid potpourri altogether.” And as is the case with medical care for other family members, Rector said it’s a good idea to have local veterinary contact information readily available. “Keep your vet’s number handy, as well as information about any medication your pet may be taking,” she said.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
So here’s the story on stories Our stories cover a wide swath of terrain and subjects. We report on people working to make your community a better place, young athletes striving to achieve big things, public-safety issues, government spending … the list goes on. Often, a story starts with a phone call. Like the one a couple of weeks ago when we were informed there was a fire at the Streets at SouthGlenn shopping center. Within minutes, our Centennial reporter was out the door, camera and notebook in tow. Upon her arrival at the scene, the presence of thick smoke and emergency crews quickly validated the news tip. Sometimes, that’s how it goes. But often, the story isn’t so obvious. For example, in monitoring how government entities spend your money, we have a responsibility to bring you information beyond what you can see or what is packaged in a press release. As a taxpayer, you are entitled to know who is spending your money and on what. And you have the right to learn this unencumbered by a government agency’s tax-
paid public relations staff, whose best interest calls for putting that government entity in the most favorable light. Our goal is not simply to put government officials and their actions in the best light. Nor in the worst light. Rather, we want to put them in the light. We do this is by asking questions, lots of them. That’s the only way to get answers. Who, what, where, when, why, how? While at times these questions may make some people feel unfairly scrutinized, asking these questions doesn’t mean we are taking sides. Instead, we ask questions to find out all sides of an issue. Before a single question is asked, though,
“Elements of Journalism: What Newspeople Should Know and the Public Should Expect,” Tom Rosenstiel and Bill Kovach wrote the following: “Fairness should mean the journalist is being fair with the facts, and to a citizen’s understanding of them. It should not mean, ‘Am I being fair to my sources, so that none of them will be unhappy?’ ” In short, we shouldn’t be afraid to displease some people as long as we are confident in our facts and have pursued all sides of a story. Readers, reporters, editors — I’d like to think we all prefer a certain type of story. The one about the game-winning hit, or the home that volunteers built for a veteran, or the dog who saved a child’s life. These are the stories that make people feel better about their community and the world. But not every story can be that.

Garbage in, garbage out applies to minds
Luckily, all the leaves are brown Autumn leaves. I wish it wouldn’t. I wish it would stay here all year. I don’t get seasonal depression in autumn and winter. I get seasonal inspiration at this time of year. I don’t humbug the darker-earlier days, I humbug the sweltering summer, when mosquito soup is on the menu and both of us (the dachshund and I) are drooling. I see no benefit in the summer months, other than seeing my mail carrier, Phoebe, who wears a pith helmet. Give me now until March 10*. The lawn mower is put away. Not only that, my neighbors have put away their lawn mowers too. I don’t hear the roar of Briggs & Strattons. And I can’t hear little children with their fingernails-on-a-chalkboard voices. It’s serene. Don’t be telling me about snowblowers and snowplows. They come out maybe half a dozen days. There’s apple cider. There is no better liquid. A sip immediately takes me back to touch football in Ann Arbor, wiping my nose on the sleeve of my dad’s too-big-forme University of Michigan sweatshirt, and knocking the crap out of Don Portman before he could reach the goal line that was marked with an old pumpkin. Walking in the snow you’ll hear a lovely crunch beneath your boots. Sure, my best friend Greg walked in the snow, fell, and had a spiral break of his right ankle. Don’t remind me. OK. The dog refuses to go outside on his own at this time of the year. I see dogs playing in the snow. They take naps in the snow. They meet up and play poker in the snow. Not mine. And, yes, they are few things more unattractive than slush flying at your windshield. But evenings at home couldn’t be better. I sit on the couch, I pull a blanket up, and re-read “Great Expectations.” I visualize Pip’s breath out there on the moors. And Estella baking a winter goose. And Joe cursing in the forge. In the summer all I do is perspire. You can only take off so many clothes. But at this time of year we layer. Layer, lady, layer. (Did you know that “Lay Lady Lay” is grammatically incorrect?) I dearly love mornings right now. There
we must find out that a potential story is brewing. That’s where the phone calls come into play, sometimes from our readers, other times from sources like city or police officials. Sometimes it’s not a phone call, but an email that sparks our interest. Still other stories are the product of a journalist’s observations and curiosity. Then, the questions. They start with a reporter and various sources, but they don’t end there. After a story is written and turned in, editors often question reporters. Can you double-check this fact or this number? Can you get an additional source? After that, editors might question each other. What do you think of this sentence? Is that the best “play,” or page, for the story? Does the headline give an accurate description of the article? A question I always ask myself after reading a reporter’s story: “Is the article fair?” What does it mean to be “fair?” The dictionary has several definitions, but I like how the issue of fairness was tackled by a couple of veteran journalists. In their book
is not a sound in the house that I don’t create. I have the radio or a CD on the downlow. Sometimes I paint. At 4 in the morning I might be painting. I am on Walden Pond. In an Ansel Adams photograph. Hot coffee fills my nostrils. The smell of hot coffee fills my nostrils. Adams did say, “Not everyone trusts paintings, but people believe photographs.” Phooey, Ansel-man. How hard is it to doctor a photograph? Some old crust of an actor can look like he’s chiseled again. Let’s talk about sleds, Rosebud. Is there anything more emblematic of our youth and of good, good times? If a weathered baseball glove from your Little League days can bring a tear to your eye, so can your dear Flexible Flyer. I can still picture little Jimmy on the top of the hill with his sled, just before zooming down and falling into a hole in the ice. We didn’t have cell phones back then, so Jimmy’s rescue took a while. I can still hear his teeth. You may be saying, Smith, none of this sounds very appealing. I think it’s just the way you and I perceive things. Summer is easy. It’s more difficult to appreciate autumn and winter. I think the best friendships are the ones that take the most time to develop, the ones we have to work on. From now until *Daylight Saving Time, the conditions assertively remind me that I am alive. I have to work on my relationship with these months because they work on me. Quote: “The best mirror is an old friend.” George Herbert.

Maybe it is not just that we become what we read, it’s more about the fact that we become what we read, hear, watch and believe. If we buy into this theory, then we must also believe that this could be seen as both an opportunity and a problem. The opportunity to grow personally and professionally through learning by reading, watching or listening to positive, informative and educational content is ubiquitous. All we have to do is search the web for audio, video, or text-based information that can help us raise our game. I mean really, just hit your favorite search engine and type in motivational video, inspirational audio programs or positive attitude and you will have thousands of titles to choose from. Of course one of my favorite websites for such information is www.candogo.com. The online library contains quick-hitting excerpts from more than 100 authors and experts and includes subject matter about leadership, motivation, sales skills, presentation skills, time management, work-life balance and so much more. You can even sign up for a free motivational tip of the day. If you find an author expert’s material motivating or informative, you can also be directed to their website to purchase the entire program. We can also search for the top-selling business books and personal-development books and see what others are reading. The opportunities for positive growth are endless, but unfortunately so are the problems. Because for every positive source

of personal and professional material there also exists outlets to media that can tear us down and de-motivate us. It may not seem like it at the time, but we really have to guard against what we allow to filter into our minds. If all we watch, listen to, observe or read is material that is filled with negativity, there is a higher likelihood that we will start to become negative. Although I still listen to positive programs in my car or on my iPod, and watch motivating videos and speakers, my favorite source of personal and professional development material is reading. I typically rotate my reading between subject matter and content including faith, business, history, biographical and motivational books. And then every once in a while I will read a fictional book or novel just to let my mind wander through the imagination of the author. I find this helps my own creativity.

Adult, juvenile accused in drug case Police say search of pair turns up ecstasy, cocaine By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Investigation of a suspected burglary led to the arrest of an adult and a juvenile on drug charges in Englewood. Police were dispatched to the 4400 block of South Fox Street about 7 p.m. Nov. 10, after a report that a man appeared to be breaking into a house.
Officers investigated and talked to a 22-year-old man and a juvenile at the house. The adult said he lived at the house, had forgotten his keys, and was trying to get inside. Police searched the two people, and reportedly found that the adult had 12.38 grams of a powder identified as ecstasy and 8.3 grams of a powder that tested positive for cocaine. The juvenile reportedly had two plastic bags containing white powder that tested positive for ecstasy and had a total weight of 4.12 grams. The adult allegedly admitted to po-
lice that he had sold the ecstasy to the juvenile for $80. Both suspects were arrested. The adult was taken to Arapahoe County Jail. He could face charges of distribution of a Schedule 1 controlled substance and possession of a Schedule 2 controlled substance with intent to distribute. The juvenile’s parents were notified and he was taken to the Arapahoe County Juvenile Assessment Center. He could face charges of possession of a Schedule 1 controlled substance.
Spinal: Program offered to area residents Spinal continues from Page 1
and then take it to the federal level. “We need to show that people all over the nation can have an increased quality of life, and that these treatments are cost-effective and can save a lot of money,” she said. “I’m no longer taking narcotics. I’m working full-time, contributing to society and I’m able to exercise now, go rock climbing, hand cycle.” The program is set up to last for
two and a half years, which, as Hinton Leichtle points out, allows people to really see the benefits of alternative treatments without having to give up on them after two months because they can’t afford the out-ofpocket costs. “I think we all realize that things need to shift, and this is one of those ways that we can start shifting,” said Jan Ruscio, an acupuncturist from Highlands Ranch who will see program patients at Progressive. “We
could really all start saving money as a nation by using less pharmaceuticals and having less doctor visits.” The pilot program is limited to spinal cord patients who are residents of Douglas, Arapahoe, Denver, Adams or Jefferson counties.

Charter: Proposed school portrayed as option Charter continues from Page 1
said. “It is our goal to establish this school in Englewood.” Questions from the audience included an inquiry about what happens if the project doesn’t have 200 students when it is time to open. Board member Randy DeHuff said if the school doesn’t have 200 students enrolled, it won’t open. He said the requirement is that the school will have 80 percent of the target number signed up by May or June. The proponents added that plans are to advertise Englewood Academy in nearby areas and hopefully attract students who are on the lengthy wait-
ing lists to attend charter schools like Littleton Academy. In response to a question about why there is a need for a charter school in Englewood, Matt Whipple said the desire is to offer an educational option for students. “We know there are parents enrolling their students in school outside the district because Englewood’s test scores are low,” he said. “We are not looking to damage the district and we aren’t attacking the district. Actually, we will be a plus for the district because traditionally charter school test scores are higher than public schools so it will raise district overall scores.” When it was time for members of
the audience to make comments to the school board, Dana Murhree said she is a strong supporter of charter schools. “I am a mom of two students who attended charter school in Monument,” she said. “I believe charter schools are great through the eighth grade, but I don’t favor charter high schools. We live here now and my two children are in Englewood schools. I will say charter school prepared them well for entering classes here.” Englewood resident Tena Prang then commented that, while options are good, she is concerned that the charter school’s proposed budget doesn’t work.

Twinkling lights, live entertainment and, of course, a visit from the season’s biggest celebrity packed holiday well-wishers into Commons Park for the fourth annual treelighting ceremony at The Streets at SouthGlenn. Arriving by horse-drawn carriage, Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon joined Santa Claus center stage Nov. 16 to light the center’s 25-foot Colorado Christmas tree and officially welcome the holiday shopping season. And of course, Santa’s got an app for that, lighting the entire park via a special giant iPhone, only available to certain North Pole residents.

Ice skaters take an inaugural spin around The Cube Ice Rink at The Streets at SouthGlenn. The facility is one of Colorado’s few outdoor ice rinks. School marching band. Live reindeer were also on display throughout the evening.
“We really look forward to this event each year, and it’s nice that it happened before Thanksgiving,” said Tony Allen of Little-
ton. “This is such a better atmosphere than some of the other, more crowded malls.” The Streets again are home to The Cube, one of Colorado’s few outdoor ice skating rinks, which will be open through Feb. 3. Admission prices are $7 for adults, $4 for children 4-12 years of age and free for kids 3 and younger. There is a $3 charge for skate rental. “We’re from New York, and I always enjoyed skating outdoors as a kid, and this is just the greatest thing,” said Miriam Ramirez. “This could be a new family tradition.” Santa will be at The Streets though Dec. 24 in the Guest Services area. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own cameras for photographs. “It’s never too early to start celebrating Christmas,” said Centennial resident Brittany Nidy. “Never.” More information about The Streets at SouthGlenn’s holiday programs, Santa’s schedule, as well as hours for The Cube Ice Rink can be found online at www.shopsouthglenn.com.

fabulous home that meets my clients’ needs. I have extensive knowledge and connections within different neighborhoods and often know of homes that will be coming on the market before they are available to the public.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? My one tip is to find an agent that you trust and feel will represent you with integrity and professionalism. Often you will want to interview several agents, find out what sets them apart from other agents, how/why they are successful, what is their marketing plan, how well do they know your market.
What is the most unusual thing you have encountered while working in real estate? I don’t think I have “one thing” that stands out. I feel each transaction is unique and each individual’s needs are unique. I work with each client to determine what it is that they are looking for and how I am able to successfully create that outcome.
What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? My passion is to find people their perfect home when representing a buyer and thorough information combined with consistent communication when representing the seller. I love piecing together the ideal neighborhood and location with a

What do you most enjoy doing when you are not working? I have a wonderful family, which includes a supportive husband, two delightful teenage daughters and two labrador retrievers. I most enjoy spending time with them.
What is the one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? I would say again, be certain you have an agent that you trust and feel will represent you with integrity and professionalism. You will be spending lots of time with the agent and want to be certain they are knowledgeable in different markets and able to help you decide what neighborhood fits your needs best, what location is ideal and ultimately find your perfect home.

Q
: My understanding is rental vacancies are decreasing and rental rates are increasing. I’ve also heard that housing prices have hit bottom, are starting to increase and interest rates are at 60-year lows. Is it better to rent or own?
A
: You are correct that vacancies are very low and that will continue to impact rental rates. These factors are driven by the number of people who have lost homes or can’t purchase homes given the tighter lending environment. You are also correct that housing prices in many areas of Colorado are starting to show month-to-month and year-over-year increases as inventory of homes available for sale has dropped from about 25,000 to around 10,000. And interest rates, driven by Federal Reserve efforts, a sluggish economy and uncertainty in Europe, are at or near 60-year lows. Given this environment, the mathematics are in favor of purchasing. If someone rented a home today at $1,200 per month and

rent increases by 3 percent per year, a person would spend over $680,000 for housing over 30 years and own nothing. A person who purchases a home for $200,000 today with a 30-year fixed mortgage would have payments of about $1,200 per month, which maybe tax deductible, and except for increases in taxes and insurance, would remain constant for 30 years. Payments over the 30 years would probably be less than $500,000, resulting in savings of over $180,000 compared to renting.

Diamond devotion set in stone

‘Bucket list’ trip a wild time Photo safari in Kenya an unforgettable experience for journalist By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com
T
he decision to satisfy a “bucket list” item and take a photo safari in Kenya proved to be a good one as the two-week trip exceeded all my expectations. Part of the success of the trip was the decision to book the safari for my daughter and me though Kensington Tours. The company representative tailored the trip to our schedule and we spent 12 days in the field, with just our driver/ guide in the van with us. When my daughter and I arrived in Kenya on Oct. 28, culture shock came early when we moved into Nairobi traffic that was a nightmare on steroids. Traffic signals seemed to be out all the time, so it was a constant case of four or five drivers working to get in the flow of vehicles on a two-lane road. Many times, I figured another coat of paint and the entire side of the van would be demolished. But our driver was an absolute magician as he maneuvered through the traffic jams without incident. The first full day in Kenya ushered in new and amazing experiences. We visited a sanctuary dedicated to saving an endangered species of giraffe and my daughter kissed one of them.
Maasai warriors preform a dance welcoming visitors to their camp in the a Masai Mara National Park in Kenya. The Maasai don’t hunt but gather meat from their huge herds of cattle and goats. The next stop was the elephant orphanage, where we saw keepers bottlefeeding young elephants ranging from a baby only weeks old to a couple that were 3 or 4 years old. There was a stop at the chimpanzee rescue sanctuary and my daughter got to feed a rhino. The final stop of the day was a thriving business making beaded jewelry. What made it special was the business was started to provide employment for two single mothers. Now there are 350 single mothers and young women just out of school with no
job experience turning out beautiful jewelry and filling orders that are sent to distributors around the globe.
Out in the field The next day, Nairobi was in the rear view mirror as we began the first of 12 days in the field, traveling the narrow dirt roads of national parks where millions of animals roamed free. Because hunting of any type is illegal in Kenya and we were in national parks, Africa continues on Page 19
Bling king Steve Rosdal retired from Hyde Park Jewelers a few years back, but he was itching to get in the biz in some capacity. Now he has opened SHR Jewelry Associates at 231 Milwaukee St. in Cherry Creek North. Rosdal’s new business specializes in diamond acquisitions from private individuals and dealers. He will also be purchasing and selling estates and previously owned fine watches, precious metals and jewelry. Rosdal started his career in the jewelry business in 1973 and built extensive experience in fine timepieces, diamonds and fine jewelry. “I am excited to get back to the aspects I love most about the jewelry industry,” Rosdal said. The office of SHR Jewelry Associates is not the typical retail jewelry store. It has a small showroom, but most of its sales will come from the personalized service that Rosdal and director Jourdan Block offer. Through his connections in the jewelry community, Rosdal is able to source specific pieces, whether watches or fine jewelry, for his customers. SHR Jewelry Associates is open by appointment only by calling 720-379-6505 or by contacting Rosdal at steve@steverosdal.com.
More Tebow time
Former Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, who now plays for the Jets, has signed a deal to be the “spokesmodel” for TiVo, the TV recording device. According to a story in The Hollywood Reporter, “the 25-year-old athlete will spread the gospel of TiVo via a social media and national advertising campaign, including a series of TV commercials,” the company said. “TiVo will also offer a ‘Tim Tebow Zone’ listing Tebow’s favorite shows, movies and recommendations for kids’ programming.” “I had no idea how great TiVo was until I started using it,” Tebow said in a statement last week. “I was blown away by the TiVo experience — it was so much more than I thought. With always being on the road, I love having the ability to find exactly what I am looking for and watch it anywhere, any time.” Tebow can add TiVo to his endorsement roster, which includes Jockey International, Nike and FRS Healthy Performance energy drinks.

Armstrong, who never met a sports subject he didn’t like to debate, will be on site four to five days a week to chat and argue with customers. But his new passion is this sports bar with 26 big-screen TVs, including two on the patio. Parker continues on Page 18

U.S.. The study was released recently by Chris Pollack, president of Pollack+Partners, a high-net-worth design/build cooperative The study said that Aspen came in first while Whistler, British Columbia, scored on the low end at $715 per square foot. The study identified seven winter vacation destinations and compared the cost to build a custom estate on a per-square-foot basis. Telluride ranked third at $1,138 per square foot and Vail came in at No. 5 at $910 per square foot. “Our study offers insight into … spending trends in some of the most desirable ski resorts in North America,” Pollack said. “In addition to construction costs, our analysis accounts for overall project costs, which many clients discount or do not acknowledge when establishing or discussing the budget. … The top segment of the market tends to be less susceptible to fluctuations in the real estate market and the overall economy … .” For more comparisons, go to w w w. p o l l a c k p a r t n e r s l l c. c o m / press-releases-home-buildingcost-analysis.php.
“I’m a card-carrying wing junkie, so I made it a point to have awesome wings,” Armstrong said. And he wasn’t wrong. On a recent taste test, Mr. On the Town and I were pleasantly pleased with the menu selections. We sampled wings of all sorts, brat burgers, sweet Italian sausage, honey bourbon brats, cheddar brats, beer brats, spicy chicken Italian sausage, extremely spicy Polish sausage and regular brats boiled in beer and spices, plus bottomless baked beans and homemade chips. If you’re watching your waistline, you can wash it all down with a Diet Pepsi. But the sports-bar enthusiasts will likely enjoy the selection of 16 beers on tap along with $1.99 for Coors, Coors Light and Miller Lite all day every day, plus a “boatload of microbrews on tap”. Overlooking the green rink at the Ice Centre you can catch some fun local hockey games or enjoy the great patio overlooking the Promenade Fountain. More information at www.benderswestminster.com.

Africa: Beauty was distracting Africa continues from Page 17
the animals were unafraid and it wasn’t unusual to have an elephant grazing by the side of the road undisturbed by the fact the van was 10 to 15 feet away. The trip showed the different aspects of the Kenyan terrain. Our first stop was quarters at Samburu National Park at an altitude of 5,700 feet. A four-hour drive the next day and we were at a park at about 700 feet. Daily, we saw herds of different members of the antelope family, like the Thompson gazelle and the impala. There were wildebeests by the thousands and zebras were plentiful. A turn in the road might provide sighting of a herd of elephants or a group of giraffes peacefully eating the leaves of the thorny arcadia tree. Daily we were also on the lookout for elusive animals like lions, cheetahs and leopards. Thus, each day was an adventure as we traveled the roads seeking to get the opportunity to take good photographs. Even so, a couple good photos were missed because I was so fascinated by the beauty of the animals he didn’t focus and click the shutter. That didn’t happen with the male lion that seemed almost on cue to come out of the brush, lie down and survey his kingdom undisturbed by the van just 25 feet away.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Tom Munds is a reporter/photographer for Colorado Community Media. He has covered Englewood and south metro-area happenings for 35 years.
A family of hippos moves on the shore of the Mora River in Kenya. The massive animals spend days in the water with occasional trips to shore, but go out at night to graze. Another rare photo came when we saw a young male cheetah in the brush. The animal was moving around and gave chase and pounced on a large mouse.
Surprising sounds
Evenings were spent in nice quarters with all the modern amenities. However, we were still in Africa, and at Sopa Samburu we were awakened about 5:30 a.m. and warned that there were elephants in the courtyard. One of the beasts was about 50 yards away. It was apparently upset when the lights came on and

knocked down a large tree before storming off into the brush. The influence of our country was evident at the Sweetwater Lodge where I heard what sounded like a recording of Willie Nelson singing, “On the Road Again.” However, further investigation showed it was a young Kenyan singer doing the song in perfect pitch and rhythm. All the new experiences made it seem like we were in Kenya for a long time but, in another way, the time just flew by, so all too soon it was time to get on an airplane to return home with a head full of great memories and about 1,400 pictures to go through.

Franklin rushed for over 300 yards (319) and scored five touchdowns for Kent Denver in its 42-16 win over 2011 2A Champion Florence in the semifinals.

Sun Devils one win away Franklin’s big day propels Kent Denver into Class 2A championship game By Daniel P. Johnson
djohnson@ourcoloradonews.com ENGLEWOOD - Jaden Franklin is fast, elusive and at times, powerful. He’s also a smart young man. After zipping around the Justin DeSorrento Memorial Field for 319 yards and five touchdowns against No. 4 Florence in a 42-16 Class 2A state semifinal victory that moved No. 1 Kent Denver within a game of its first state championship since 1991, Kent Denver’s super-sophomore knew who to thank for his big day. “The (offensive) line played amazing. That’s all I can say about that,” Franklin said. Kent Denver (12-0) will host No. 7 Platte Valley (10-2) in the 2A Championship game at 1 p.m. Nov. 24. “I’m very excited. I want this (stadium) to be packed,” Franklin said. “It’s going to be fun, and I can’t wait to play Platte Valley. We played them once (46-14 victory in Week One) and they’re a much-better team since then. It should be a great game.” Franklin, who scored on runs of 68, 4 and 1 yards in the first half to guide the Sun Devils to a 21-7 halftime lead, said persistence was key against the Huskies defense. “A senior last year, Bailey Tills, told me that in games like this, people will stop you,” Franklin said. “It’s OK; just keep pounding the ball, keep running downhill and (big plays) will be there.” A big play opportunity presented itself early in the second half as on the second play from scrimmage in third quarter, Franklin a handoff and in a blink of eye, darted 68 yards down the field for a touchdown that put the Sun Devils up 28-7. “If you can get him a seam, he knows what to do with it,” Kent Denver coach Scott Yates said. “Our (line) did a good job of creating those holes for him.” Kent Denver’s Cole Poyfair recovered the

Photos by Courtney Kuhlen | ckuhlen@ourcoloradonews.com ensuing kickoff on the Florence 30-yardline and four plays later, fullback Brannon Jones rumbled in from two yards out to push the advantage to 35-7. Yates, whose team was knocked out of the 2011 playoffs in the semifinals by Florence, but defeated the Huskies 41-6 in the regular season, said the game could’ve gone a number of different ways. “If this game would have been 35-32, it wouldn’t have surprised me,” Yates said. “I think we defensed them pretty well when we needed to and the offense kept putting points up. The turnover they had in the first half allowed us to run that two-minute drill
and score. “That really helped propel us and probably put a bit of a damper on them.” Kent Denver quarterback Joey Matarazzo passed for 85 yards and Matt Pettyjohn had a reception for 33 yards and also returned an interception 30 yards. Trevon Hamlet led the team with 12 tackles. “I think it’s a great thing that we get to host (a state championship game) here,” Yates said. “We had earned it once before, but that was before we had this field. So, we had to play the state championship at someone else’s field; we rented Sheridan High School’s field for that, back in ‘91.”

Midwest Sled Hockey League kicks off season Six teams take part in Nov. 16-18 tournament at Edge Ice Arena By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Even though the National Hockey League is idled by a labor dispute, the Colorado Avalanche faced off against familiar foes like the St. Louis Blues and the Chicago Blackhawks Nov. 16-18 at the Edge Ice Arena. But no players were standing on skates because the games were part of the opening weekend of the Midwest Sled Hockey League. All the players in the tournament were physically challenges and some arrived in wheelchairs. But that didn’t keep them off the ice as they took part in the games in specially designed sleds. The sleds are equipped with adjustable blades mounted under the seat, and the sledder has two short hockey-style sticks. One end is a hockey stick blade to handle the puck the other end is blunt and the player uses that end to move along the ice. Centennial resident Corey Fairbanks, a veteran sled hockey player, is a member of the Colorado Avalanche Sled Hockey Team. Fairbanks is a 1989 Arapahoe High School graduate who was all state football player and played football at the University of Nebraska was looking for a challenging sport in 1995 when he saw a sled hockey report on TV. “I called a couple guys who were playing and
they invited me to join the team,” the Craig Hospital alumni said. “I came out and, in the first game I got checked into board and it took 20 stitches to close the gash in my chin and that convinced me this game is what I wanted to do.” He said, in 1995, it was five adults on the ice at 5 a.m. It has grown by leaps and bounds. Now there are dozens adults playing sled hockey and there are 40 kid playing on the Avalanche youth hockey program. “We saw more adults joining us but, in 2001 when I took over the program, my first priority was to start a youth sled hockey program,” he said. “After all, all the adults were getting older and, to sustain the program, we had to develop a youth program providing kids an opportunity to learn the game and to compete all year. Right now, we have one of the largest youth programs in the country.” The Nov. 16-18 tournament kicked off the season for the league that includes the Avalanche, Blues, Blackhawks, the San Antonio Rampage and a team of unaffiliated players. “We are one of several sled hockey teams across the country,” Fairbanks said. “We have a Northeast League, an Ohio Valley League and a new Florida league.” He said a recent NHL Sled Classic with 14 teams,
including 12 affiliated with NHL teams. “We became affiliated with the Avalanche in 1996 and it had taken off so just about every NHL organization is sponsoring a sled hockey program,” he said. Fairbanks said his team gets an annual grant from the Avalanche, allows them to wear authentic Avalanche gear and allows the team to have meetings and occasionally use the ice at the a Pepsi Center. There are 15 players on the Avalanche team, including two members of the National Sled Hockey Team. Also, the Avalanche is the defending national sled hockey champions. The American National Team also is the defending Paralympics sled hockey champions. “This is one of the fastest growing sports for physically challenged individuals,” Fairbanks said. “It continues to grow and what I would like to see is see creation of collegiate sled hockey programs like there are for wheelchair basketball players.” Fairbanks said the
weekend tournament was the first time for many of the Avalanche players as they finished 1-3. “There is no lack of talent on our team,” he said. “But so many of our guys are new to the team and not used to playing together that it really shows when we played teams that have been playing together for a couple years. We’ll get better every time on the ice as we get the ice time playing as a team.” The Avalanche has a board of directors and several members of the board played an exhibition game against the Avalanche youth team. Board member Jon Carlson, Denver Broncos business develop manager, said his first time playing sled hockey was fun and it was challenging. “I haven’t had this much fun in a long time,” he said after the game. “Those kids are amazing. They skated circles around me. Playing sled hockey is physically challenging and I already have some aching muscles but it was worth it because it was a great experience.”

High School Football Championship Games presented by
Class 2A State Championship
No. 7 Platte Valley (10-2) @ No. 1 Kent Denver (12-0), 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 24 Gameplan: These two teams opened the 2012 season against one another. Back on Aug. 31, the Sun Devils rolled the Broncos, 46-14. Now, they’ll close the 2012 season out, with the winner earning the Class 2A state championship. Kent Denver is seeking its first title since 1991. The Broncos, winners of five straight, are led by dual-threat quarterback, Logan Sitzman. Just a junior, Sitzman has thrown for more than 2,000 yards with 20 touchdowns. He’s also gained 1,471 yards rushing with another 21 scores. Daniel Frantz (31 catches, 468 yards, four touchdowns) and Adam Bethal (29-523-6) are Sitzman’s main receiving targets. Defensively, Caleb Creech leads Platte Valley with 105 tackles. Bottom line: If Kent Denver plays defense the way they did against Florence in its 42-16 victory, they stand a very strong chance of winning the game. Sophomore running back Jaden
Kent Denver’s Trevon Hamlet tries to leap over two Florence defenders Nov. 17. The Sun Devils will host Platte Valley this Saturday in the 2A state championship game.
Franklin gained over 300 yards and scored five touchdowns for the Sun Devils last week, so expect him to receive plenty of attention from the Broncos defense.
No. 4 Valor Christian (10-2) vs. No. 1 ThunderRidge (11-1), 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 23 at Shea Stadium Gameplan: It’s a battle of Highlands Ranch-area schools as Valor Christian stands just two games from its fourthstraight state championship, and firstever 5A state title. The Eagles have won 10-straight games and rolled Arapahoe 49-18 in the quarterfinals behind a 295-yard (108 receiving), sixtouchdown game from junior Christian McCaffrey. ThunderRidge will try and keep the Eagles’ high-powered offense off the field by deploying its multi-faceted rushing attack. The Grizzlies have had to work hard to get to the semifinals, but close wins over Centennial League foes Cherry Creek and Grandview are nothing to scoff at. Bottom line: Expect a big crowd at Shea Stadium, so plan on arriving early to find a parking space and to get a seat. ThunderRidge, if they find success early with its running game, could be the team to finally slow down Valor Christian by simply keeping the Eagles’ offense off the field. The Grizzlies will need to value ball control and limit big plays from a Valor Christian offense that has proven it can score on any play.

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.
Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
Notices are meant to be noticed. Read your public notices and get involved!
