I have tried to live up to those teachings,” he said. “When the members of the city council began considering me as Englewood Citizen of the Year, it blew me away.

The preparation process needed before the start of construction of the new police headquarters was outlined during the March 20 Englewood City Council study session. Plans are to construct the new building on the current police building site. The goal is to start construction in November and complete construction by October 2018. The proposal is to build the new police facility on what is now the police department’s north parking lot. During the construction, the police department will continue to use the facilities in the current building. Once the building is completed and the department has moved in, the old building will be torn down and the parking structure built on that portion of the site. Kathleen Rinkel, the city’s director of finance and administration, began the March 20 presentation to the council by talking about financing the project. She said the project will happen because voters approved the city request to sell up to $27 million in bonds to finance construction of a new police building to replace the building that was constructed in 1972. “We continue to monitor economic conditions as we prepare to issue the bonds,” Rinkel said. “There has been a small interest rate hike and another is planned. We hope to complete the sale of our bonds before the next interest

Doug Cohn looked shocked March 20 when members of the Englewood City Council began considering and later confirming that he would be the Englewood Citizen of the Year for 2017.
“I was embarrassed that they even considered my name,” he said. “When a member of the historical preservation society called and asked if it was OK to nominate me for the honor, I thought that was the craziest thing I ever heard... There should be a long list of probably 250 candidates for citizen of the year and I should be far down the list.” He said he had a lot of fun doing all the things he has been involved with in Englewood and never thought about being hon-

Pizza restaurateur moved from St. Louis About me I moved to Colorado from St. Louis in September to open Sprezzatura Pizza. We’re a wood-fired pizza concept located outside of Rocker Spirits. I grew up outside of Philadelphia and went to high school in Richmond, Virginia. How long have you worked in restaurants? I got my first restaurant job when I was 15, so about 15 years. I went to college for one semester for environmental science, but it wasn’t what I wanted to do. I ended up going back to restaurant life and decided it was what I really wanted to do, so I went to New England Culinary Institute in Vermont. From there, I felt like I needed to go the fine dining route, that’s kind of what culinary schools push you to do, so I moved to New York City.
Document shredding Littleton High School’s Future Business Leaders of America will host its seventh annual ShredA-Thon on April 8. Secure shredding will be done on site at a rate of $10 per copy paper-sized box or $25 for three boxes. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to noon in the school’s south parking lot, 199 E. Littleton Blvd.
David Rosenfeld owns Sprezzatura Pizza in Littleton. He has worked at restaurants in New York City and St. Louis. KYLE HARDING and we’re looking into possibly doing some catering or festivals.
Why did you come here? My partners in St. Louis and I were selling our restaurant, and one of them was good friends with one of the owners of Rocker. So we talked to them about what their needs were here. There’s a lot of pizza around, but nothing really similar to what we’re doing. We naturally ferment all of our doughs instead of using commercial yeast. We make our own ricotta cheese. We’re trying to source the best quality ingredients we can and treat them with respect. It’s a labor of love. Rocker is only open four days a week. The other three days are available if people want to do private events,
What are your favorite pizza toppings? I’m kind of a traditionalist; I love a good margherita or bianco, which are fairly simple. A margherita is sauce, fresh mozzarella and basil and olive oil finished with parmesan; bianco is cheese and black pepper and olive oil. But if I’m going to add something, I love white anchovies.
Hunt for Easter eggs South Suburban Parks and Recreation District will host its egg scramble on April 15, the day before Easter. The field inside of the Family Sports Dome will be covered with colorful eggs for each of four age groups, with a grand prize for finding the golden egg. Participants need to bring their own basket. Ages 3 and under start at 9 a.m.; 4 through 6 at 9:30 a.m.; 7 through 9 at 10 a.m.; and 10 through 12 at 10:30 a.m. The event is free and no registration is required. For more information, contact Chantel Tolan at 303-754-0552 or chantelt@ssprd.org. Family Sports Dome is located at 6959 S. Peoria St.
How do you like Colorado so far? The weather and the scenery is gorgeous, the people have been really friendly. It’s been an easy place to live, especially after living most of my life on the East Coast. There hasn’t been a lot of time to do much. As a kid I used to ski a lot. My grandparents used to do a lot of fly fishing so it’s something I want to get into. If you have suggestions for My Name is…contact Kyle Harding at kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Costs, service are factors for South Metro, LFR, partners BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A third-party consultant is advising Littleton Fire Rescue and its partners, Littleton Fire Protection District and Highlands Ranch Metro District, on a possible merger with South Metro Fire Rescue. Officials from South Metro approached LFR Chief Chris Armstrong, as well as Cunningham Fire Protection District, last summer about the possibility of merging as a way to cut costs and improve service. At a March 21 study session, Littleton City Council heard from Armstrong, as well as representatives of the fire protection district and Highlands Ranch. Armstrong said that South Metro would be a simpler merger than with Denver Fire Department, which contracts with Englewood and Sheridan, or West Metro Fire Rescue. He noted that LFR shares about 75 percent of its border with South Metro and the departments already have automatic aid agreements. A unified department with South Metro, Littleton and Cunningham would cover nearly 300 square miles across the south metro area with a population of about half a million people. Its 600-member department would still be smaller than the 900-member Denver Fire Department.
“It makes a lot of sense to have this conversation with South Metro,” Armstrong said. Highlands Ranch Metro District Boardmember Carolyn Schierholz added that Denver Fire Department would not be a good option for Highlands Ranch due to its distance, and that Denver Fire does not operate its own advanced life support service, which is instead provided by Denver Health. LFPD board member Jim Albee said the district had already been looking at issues it has with cost and service, and some of its problems could be solved by unification with a larger department. “We believe it’s very unlikely that an LFR scenario is going to offer the fire protection district a better combination of service and cost than a South Metro option,” he said. Washington, D.C.-based Center for Public Safety Management is consulting the department on what its best options are. Armstrong said that LFR’s priorities are sustaining its existing partnerships, financial sustainability and service improvements. If one of the three partners left and joined a larger department on its own, the remainder would face either higher costs or degraded service. Councilmember Doug Clark cautioned that the partners should look at all options before making a decision, noting that emergency medical services could be taken over by hospitals in the future. “It’s like somebody drove up to the front of your house and said ‘do you want to buy my car?’” he said.

Dirt Coffee impresses investors at contest The Littleton nonprofit that hires autistic people wins at The Tank BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The employees at Dirt Coffee are amazing — just ask the people who donated $7,291 to the company at a nonprofit event hosted by the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce at the Denver Botanic Gardens on March 23. The company took first place in The Tank, inspired by the TV show “Shark Tank.” It is a forum in which six local nonprofits pitch their organization or a unique program idea in front of community business leaders, lenders and investors. Dirt Coffee has a company mission to train and employ young adults affected by autism spectrum disorders. The nonprofit, which has run as a food truck since 2013, will open a brick-and-mortar location in Littleton this year at 5767 Rapp St. The new location opens the door for at least 10 new employees, doubling Dirt’s workforce. During The Tank, co-founder of Dirt Coffee Lauren Burgess said the company is ultimately looking to hire 50 more individuals with autism. Burgess said 50,000 autistic people graduate high school each year but only 16 percent find full-time employment. “(Autistic people) are misunderstood as somebody with a disability rather as seen as someone with a different ability,” Burgess said. Dirt employees receive a job coach, who helps them better their skills and increase their independence at work and home, Burgess said. Employees receive instruction applicable to their every-day lives, such as social skills training and training regarding public transit use. “We are bringing more than jobs to the community,” Burgess said. “We are teaching our community and other businesses what it means to accept individuals with autism.” Overall, The Tank generated
Lauren Burgess presents the nonprofit she co-founded, Dirt Coffee, to the panelists and potential donors at the South Metro Denver Chamber’s event, The Tank, on March 23 at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Dirt Coffee received the most money, $7,291, for its mission of hiring individuals with autism as full-time employees. PHOTOS BY STEPHANIE MASON $20,485 in donations. Last March, the event raised a little more than $17,000. “Raising over $20,000 for six nonprofits in our business community is very meaningful and it is extremely gratifying to be able to have such an impact on their success,” Robert Golden, the chamber’s president and CEO, said in an email. Coming in second place was the Warrior Bonfire Program, receiving $4,320 in donations. The Centennialbased nonprofit takes Purple Heart recipients on small group trips around the country to allow wounded veterans to enjoy camaraderie and boost morale. Skatuary, an Englewood-based nonprofit indoor skateboarding Christian ministry, came in third place with $2,130.

A sewer line buried 50 feet under an old landfill is causing problems for a small district that serves about 2,000 residents of Littleton, Englewood, Sheridan and Denver and will likely cost $2.35 million to replace. Valley Sanitation District’s first option for paying for a new sewer line will also require district residents to vote to approve it. On its way to the Littleton-Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant on the north side of Dartmouth Avenue, sewage from Valley Sanitation customers flows through about 23,000 feet of 21-inch and 24-inch interceptor pipe, most of which has been rehabilitated over the years with an epoxy lining. But between Union and Oxford avenues, on the west side of the South Platte River, lies about 4,400 feet of pipe that has not been rehabilitated, and is being infiltrated with potentially explosive methane and other hydrocarbon gases from the landfill that used to occupy the site, according to Platte Canyon Water and Sanitation District, which performs maintenance for Valley Sanitation on a contract basis. Platte Canyon manager Pat Fitzgerald said the line must be replaced within a year or two, and that rehabilitating it in a similar way to the rest of the line is not feasible. He said that working on the pipe 50
feet underground within the district’s 30-foot easement on the property, now home to a recycling center, a Waste Management transfer station and a recreational vehicle storage facility, is not an option. “It’s just a matter of time, we believe, that that pipe is going to be subject to collapse,” Fitzgerald said. “We want to move the pipe out of the landfill,” he added. “We don’t think it’s a viable option to leave it in the landfill.” Of several alternatives presented after Valley Sanitation contracted with a civil engineering firm to look at the issue, the most promising seems to be constructing a sewer lift pump station near Englewood’s Centennial Park and a new pipe that skirts the landfill. Valley Sanitation is planning to apply for a low-interest state loan to pay for the lift station and the new pipe and hopes to pay back the loan over time via property taxes. Fitzgerald said the district would likely get a 2 percent interest rate on the loan. Over a 30-year term, he said, the loan payments would amount to a home appraised at $200,000 paying about $26 per year. However, raising property taxes requires a TABOR election, which the district hopes to hold this November. The district will hold a meeting on the issue on April 12 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m at Centennial Academy of Fine Arts Education School, 3660 W. Berry Ave. in Littleton.

Dogs are audience for youngsters’ tales Paws to Read is monthly event held at library in Englewood BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The low tones of two children reading aloud filled the room March 18 during the once-a-month Paws to Read program at the Englewood Public Library. The library teams up with therapy dogs — trained by Denver Pet Partners — and their owners to hold the reading program from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the third Saturday of each month. There are 12 slots for readers, and children who want to take part in the program are asked to register for a slot by calling 303-762-2560. Each child selected books and then read to the therapy dog and its owner for 30 minutes. Charley Barker, one of the children signed up for the March 18 Paws to Read program, spent her time reading to Molly the dog and her owner Sylvia Colling. “This is the second year I have read SEE PAWS, P17

rate hike expected in June.” Public works director Dave Henderson briefed the council on planning for the start of construction. “CBRE is our project management partner for this project,” he told the council. “They have now completed the workplace strategy phase of the planning. The phase included detailed analysis of the current space and interviews with members of the department. We expect to present the report on this process to the city council in early April.” Mayor Joe Jefferson said he talked with members of the Northglenn City Council at the recent National League of Cities conference. “Northglenn is similar in size and population to Englewood and their council recently completed the process in preparation to start construction of a new police building,” he said. “They said they were able to negotiate a good deal and I suggest we talk with them about the steps they took and see if it will help us in our process.” There was also a discussion of creating a design advisory group. “The proposal is to create a group of 12 to 20 people for the group made up of resi-

dents, police personnel and city staff,” Henderson said. “They would study the preliminary design to make sure it made sense and didn’t miss addressing any of the issues.” Jefferson agreed and said it would be a good step to hear the opinions of members of the community, city and police department about the design for the new police building. Discussions about the condition of the aging police station date back to June. During the June 27 study session, Englewood Police Chief John Collins told the city council conditions at the police station are “horrible.” He said there are a lot of problem with the 1972-era building. The building is constructed of uninsulated block, which isn’t appropriate construction for this climate. The chief said other problems include a leaky roof, essentially non-existent ventilation in the locker rooms, lack of handicapped access to the second floor offices and crowded conditions for operations and employees. The result was a city-initiated November ballot issue asking voters’ permission to sell the bonds to finance the new police building. The official tally showed 56.27 percent of the 16,114 residents who voted on the issue approved the city’s request to sell bonds to finance construction of a new police building.

Senior Recreation Center in May but the date had not officially been set by press time. Cohn’s family moved to Englewood in 1951. He attended Englewood schools and graduated from Englewood High School in 1965, and earned a bachelor’s degree in American history and a minor in education from the University of Colorado Boulder. “I attended a Billy Graham Crusade in Denver, which led me to enter the Conservative Baptist Theological Seminary and earn a master of divinity degree in 1972,” he said. “For the next eight years, I did missionary work with young people living on the street in Denver, which included opening a halfway house called the Carpenter’s House.” He said the Carpenter’s House was closed in 1978 and he entered the family business, Bonnie Brae Hobby Shop on South University Boulevard. The shop was moved to 3421 S. Broadway in 1999 but has since closed. The focus of the shop originally was trains, then it became other hobby items like plastic model planes and eventually the focus became military board games. The shop became a center for military board game en-
thusiasts who battled each other around tables in the store. The company also had a wholesale hobby supply business, and Cohn served as the company’s traveling salesman. After the shop closed, Cohn drove an Access-a-Ride bus for six years before retiring from a regular paying job. However his focus shifted to being more active in the community. “I have been in Englewood since I returned to the city in 1986. I had lived several places but when I moved back here I felt like I was finally coming home,” Cohn said. “I was a Boy Scout leader and I was appointed to a series of positions on city boards and commissions starting in 1999. Cohn is probably currently best known as the Englewood history guy. “I have always loved history of our country, our state and I really became interested in the history of Englewood about five years ago when the issue of the sale of the train station came up,” he said. “Before that meeting, I didn’t even know there was an Englewood Train Depot. I went to the meeting to try to prevent the sale of the station and, by that time that meeting was over, the guy rescinded his offer. After the council meeting, all of those who spoke against the sale met and decided we ought to start an organization to buy
the train depot and make it into a museum like the original Englewood Historic Society proposed.” In 2012, Cohn became a founding member of the Englewood Historic Preservation Society. He also was a strong advocate in the successful effort to have the city create the Englewood Historic Preservation Commission. “I am very active with our Englewood Historic Preservation Society and I am having a lot of fun doing it,” he said. The list of Englewood Citizens of the Year dates to 1990, and until this year the nominations came from city councilmembers and the council selected the person to be honored. The council agreed last year to have residents make the nominations so there would be a wider field of candidates for the council to choose from. Selection of the citizen of the year was on the agenda of the March 20 council study session. Communication Manager Alison Carney reported to the council that three individuals had been nominated to be the 2017 Englewood Citizen of the Year. She reported about a dozen residents nominated Cohn and the council unanimously agreed by consensus that he should be selected.

Donations bring smiles to kids far away Items from Englewood merchant delivered to Nicaraguan children

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Englewood businessman Sal Mineo decided to put bike helmets and baseball equipment that were gathering dust in his garage to good use, so he donated them to Casa Unida Foundation for delivery to children in northern Nicaragua. Casa Unida Foundation is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization based in Lakewood that does humanitarian projects in Nicaragua, including helping schoolchildren with donations of sports equipment and laptop computers. Mineo, a member of the family that owns Rico’s Pizzeria, said when he learned what the foundation was doing with kids he wanted to help. “I have always done all I could to help kids with equipment because we didn’t have this stuff when I was growing up. I mean when Englewood had the kids’ baseball program, Rico’s always sponsored teams,” he said. “I was the youngest of 15 so I didn’t have a lot of things like baseballs and equipment, so we just wanted to help
kids any way we could.” When representatives of the foundation told Mineo about the humanitarian work they were doing in Northern Nicaragua, particularly the work with kids, he said he wanted to help. He donated five bike helmets plus a bucket of baseballs, a bat, a glove and a dozen new baseballs. “Those things were just sitting in my garage,” Mineo said. “I am glad I found a way to get them to kids who can use them.”
Foundation members spent the last two weeks of February in the villages in Northern Nicaragua. When they returned, they gave Mineo pictures of the children who received his donations. “Look at the smiles on the faces of the children in these pictures,” he said. “Seeing their smiles warms my heart.” Bob Moore, Casa Unida Foundation president, told Mineo that bicycles are a major means of transporta-
tion in Nicaragua for adults and for children. “We were in the village of San Isidro, and you see some bike riders wearing helmets in big cities, but not in villages like San Isidro, even though the kids ride their bikes along busy highways and along dirt roads,” Moore said. “We went to a school in the village and gave out the helmets and the kids needed our help to put them on.”

Supreme Court: School district didn’t do enough for student BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A unanimous U.S. Supreme Court decision March 22 will have ramifications for special-needs students across the country. The court has sided with the parents of an autistic Douglas County School District student who say their child wasn’t provided the level of public education required by federal law. In the decision, Chief Justice John Roberts said it is not enough for school districts to offer minimal instruction for special-needs children. The school programs must be “reasonably calculated to enable a child to make progress appropriate in light of the child’s circumstances.” The parents were seeking reimbursement of $70,000 for the child’s tuition and related expenses at a private school. The student involved is identified only as Endrew F. in court documents. He attended Summit View Elementary in Highlands Ranch. The suit was filed through his parents, identified only as Joseph F. and Jennifer F. in court documents. The attorney for the family is listed as Jack D. Robinson, with Spies, Powers & Robinson, P.C., of Denver. “In DCSD, we are ever dedicated to the education of all of our 67,000 students,” William Trachman, the school district’s legal counsel, said in
an email. “We respect the decision of the Supreme Court justices and we are confident that the work we do for our students already meets this higher standard. Notably, the court did not hold that Douglas County School District failed to meet the new standard, or say that DCSD can’t proceed to prove that it met that standard in the Endrew F. matter. Indeed, in this case, the Douglas County School District offered an appropriate Individualized Education Plan and we look forward to proving to the lower courts that the IEP meets the new, higher standard.” The question centered on what educational benefits are guaranteed to a child with disabilities by a public school under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The case dates to 2010. “When all is said and done, a student offered an educational program providing ‘merely more than de minimis’ progress from year to year can hardly be said to have been offered an education at all,” Roberts wrote in the decision. “For children with disabilities, receiving instruction that aims so low would be tantamount to ‘sitting idly ... awaiting the time when they were old enough to ‘drop out.’” The federal Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, guarantees a “free appropriate public education” to all students with disabilities. The court decision expands the defi-
nition of what “appropriate” means. “It cannot be right that the IDEA generally contemplates grade-level advancement for children with disabilities who are fully integrated in the regular classroom, but is satisfied with barely more than de minimis progress for children who are not,” Roberts wrote. Roberts wrote that the nature of the IEP process, from the initial consultation through state administrative proceedings, ensures that parents and school representatives “will fully air their respective opinions on the degree of progress a child’s IEP should
pursue” and by the time any dispute reaches court, school authorities will have had a complete opportunity to bring their expertise and judgment to bear on areas of disagreement. IEPs were established by the case Board of Education of the Hendrick Hudson Central School District v. Rowley in 1982, a case out of Peekskill, New York. Each IEP must be “reasonably calculated to confer an educational benefit on the child.” Endrew F. was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2 and with attention SEE SCOTUS, P12

Island vendor’s inspiring, affirming words add to beauty of beach WINNING WORDS
Michael Norton
T
he past several months have been an extremely busy time in my life. And I am grateful for all of the work, opportunities, challenges, setbacks and people who have been placed in my path. The good news is that I was fortunate enough to take a short vacation on one of the Caribbean islands last week. The weather was perfect, the sand was soft, the water warm and inviting, the breeze singing through the palm trees, and all that combined with a good book was enough to help get me to that place of vacating all the tension, stress, and tiredness that had accumulated over the prior several months. That is, I thought it was enough, as it turned out I had one more blessing that
would take place each and every day while relaxing on the beach. There were many locals on the island who walk the beach talking with the guests and trying to sell their tours, fishing trips, snorkel trips, a ride or taxi into town, jewelry, aloe, and some other items that they carried with them. However, there was one local man who was selling foot massages. He carried a sign and his T-shirt read, “Just Feet.” Although I didn’t take advantage of a foot massage, many of the other guests did. However, what I did take advantage of was listening to Sam, as he walked the beach. As he walked, he would speak out loud. He wasn’t trying to sell his services, he was
counting on his sign, his T-shirt, and word of mouth to bring him business. What he was saying out loud while walking were daily positive affirmations. He had a different word for each day we were there. Sam would say something like, “Today I am happy. All my thoughts and all my actions today will build upon my happiness. I will share my happiness with others hoping I can give them some of my heart and happiness.” And he would repeat this over and over again while walking. This took place every day. The next day Sam walked by saying, “Today I am grateful, today I count my blessings instead of my curses, SEE NORTON, P11

Mentally ill don’t belong in jail State Sen. Daniel Kagan’s bill SB 17-207, “Strengthen Colorado’s Behavioral Health Crisis System,” makes perfect sense. As a people, we should not incarcerate those who have committed no crime. People who are suffering a mental health crisis and have not committed a crime do not belong in jail. They need clinically appropriate care. It is certainly not the fault of patients that the number of beds available has dropped dramatically throughout the state for people with mental illness. They are patients — not criminals, as the law in some instances treats them now. As with any acute or chronic condition or disease, healthcare professionals are best suited to deal with and treat the person who is suffering from the episode, not a jailer. Sen. Kagan has a deep and abiding belief in the human spirit. He believes people with mental health issues deserve better than being sent to already overcrowded jails when they have committed no crime. Imagine how much worse a situation might become if you found yourself in jail as opposed to the comfort you might feel if you found yourself in the hands of a trained provider. Sen. Kagan has strong support for SB 17-207 from the State Department of Human Services’ Office of Behavioral Health. The bill would have funding from the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund (MTCF), which is different from marijuana taxes used to fund schools. Indeed, health care is one of the things for which MCTF dollars must be used. The program would take no money from education or public infrastructure. Please join us in supporting SB 17-207, Sen. Kagan’s bill to stop jailing law-abiding Coloradans who are experiencing mental health crises. Vicki Tosher/Perry Keen Englewood

today I am grateful for my family, my country, the food I will eat, the people I will meet, today I am grateful.” Now if I were a cynic, I might have thought that this was just Sam’s way of getting the attention of the resort guests so that they would read his sign or T-shirt and request a foot massage. But the more I watched him, and the more he walked the beach away from the guests, he continued saying out loud, softly, almost in a whisper sometimes, but still proclaiming his positive affirmations out loud.

wasn’t holding them inside, he wasn’t keeping them to himself, he was just sharing what seemed very natural and a very big part of his life and reason for contentment and happiness. I was only there for several days, so I do not know how many positive words and affirmations Sam has in his affirmation bucket or in his positive word bank, But I do know that happiness, gratitude, contentment, love and forgiveness were the words I heard Sam use. I don’t know that I had a favorite as they were all speaking directly to me, but I think the most memorable was his positive affirmation about love. Sam was causally and peacefully walking through the sand and saying, “Today I choose love. I choose to love
others as I have been loved. I choose to love even those who do not love me. I hope that someone may hear or see my love today and that it somehow makes a difference in their lives. Today I choose love.” And he recited it over and over again. Sam’s positive affirmations added to what was already a relaxing vacation, and his words reminded me just how powerful the spoken word is, especially when we are using them to positively affirm ourselves or others. So how about you? Do you have a positive word bank or affirmation bucket you can draw upon that drives your belief system for each day? It doesn’t have to be a big list or large bucket, maybe you just have a few
“go-to” words that inspire you. My encouragement is that you try speaking them out loud, softly, almost a whisper if it gives you greater comfort, but to try the power of the positively spoken word for yourself. Even if you speak it in private, speak the words and thoughts out loud and let me know if it makes a difference at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we can start each day and live each day through positive words of affirmation, it really will be a better than good week.
Jennifer thinks that Floyd of Rosedale is tops. That’s the trophy they give to the winner of the Iowa-Minnesota football game every year. The Hawkeyes beat the Golden Gophers last year, 14-7. Best License Plate is right around the corner. The Automobile License Plate Collectors Association gives out the annual award. Colorado won in 1975. Michigan won in 2013 with its tasteful montage of the Mackinac Bridge, a Woodward Avenue hot dog, and lyrics of “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” “Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings, in the rooms of her ice-water mansions.” The album version of the song is 6:32, but I always think it takes a week. It’s up for Best Disaster Song, and I think it has a real shot. Its stiffest competition might be that catchy tune about the Kansas City Hyatt Regency walkway collapse. “Krakatoa, East of Java” is up for Best Worst Movie Title, in part, I think, because Krakatoa is west of Java. “Living Without Intestines” certainly has a chance in that category. Speaking of categories, Best Category category nominations have just been announced. There will be Best Performance by a Single Mother with Three or More Kids in a Grocery Store, Each
of Whom Had Sugary Cereals for Breakfast. And Best Version of “Lady of Spain” by Someone Who Sounds Exactly Like James Earl Jones. Look who’s talking? I have a trophy. It’s on a shelf right behind me. It says
“Best Band Name Namer.” I won for Radioactive Dachshund.

age wage is about $3 a day, so most families don’t have the money to buy baseball equipment for their children,” he said. “The kids still want to play baseball, so they make balls out of rolled-up socks and use sticks for bats.” He said the foundation accepts donations of gently used equipment plus financial donations to buy equipment for the schools. The foundation has provided equipment to nine schools and hopes to equip one or two more schools during the scheduled trip in July. The goal for the July trip is to provide 10 right-handed gloves, two left-handed gloves, three batting helmets, three aluminum bats, catcher equipment, a dozen new baseballs and a dozen used baseballs.

a real
pho-nomenon Vietnamese comfort food gains steam in metro area BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
O
f all the traditions Vietnamese immigrants brought to the United States, pho is probably the one most people recognize, even if they can’t pronounce it. The beef-and-noodle dish, pronounced “fuh,” originated in Vietnam in the 1880s. The name is believed to come from the French “pot au feu,” which translates to “pot of fire,” a beef stew the French brought to Vietnam when they colonized the country. Over the course of generations, the dish became Vietnam’s national food. “We look at pho like Americans look at bacon and eggs,” says Sunny Wong, whose family owns Pho Real in Littleton. “It’s a staple, it’s a street food. You can just get out
of your car anywhere (in Vietnam) and get a bowl of pho. We eat it for breakfast and dinner.” Pho became popular in the United States over the last few decades, but the trend has become a favorite with consommé consumers, and new restaurants continue to open across the metro area. Aficionados frown upon referring to pho as a soup, but comparisons arise nonetheless. Wong points out a key difference is pho, as opposed to ramen or wonton soup, is always made with rice noodles, not egg or flour. A variety of spices like star anise and ginger are added during cooking, and the bowl is traditionally topped with thin slices of rare beef that brown in the bowl. But every batch of pho begins and ends with the broth. Chanh Nguyen, who owns and operates Hashtag Pho in Centennial with his daughters Ally and Sue, steeps beef bones for two days to infuse all of the flavor he can into the broth, just as Wong’s aunt and uncle do at Pho Real. One disadvantage of pho’s popularity, they say, is that some restaurants have begun to cut corners and use canned broth. Grocery stores have even begun to carry “instant pho,” a concept Sue and Ally laugh at.
Chanh Nguyen ladles out a bit of the beefy broth he’s steeping in the kitchen at Hashtag Pho in Centennial. Nguyen came to the United States in 1987 and opened his family’s first pho restaurant near County Line and Quebec over 15 years ago. TOM SKELLEY But the Nguyens’ discerning customers, like Dan Popylisen, of Parker, know the difference. “I’ve been in the restaurant business for more than 20 years, and some of the younger places around Denver take their broth off the back of a truck,” he says. “This place is the real deal.” Traditional pho is all about the beef, but many restaurants offer “pho chay,” a vegetarian variation created for Vietnam’s Buddhist population. Pho Real bases their vegetarian broth on soy sauce and adds tofu, while Hashtag Pho’s pho chay is carrot and cabbage-based. At Golden Pho, in Golden the menu boasts that the pho chay there takes 10 hours to cook, and
includes onions, ginger, cabbage, snow peas, squash, corn, scallions and even some cinnamon. ‘A sense of pride’ Authenticity and fresh ingredients are important to pho restaurateurs, Wong says, because family honor is on the line with every bowl. “Every good pho restaurant probably has a family behind it,” he says. “When people came to America from Vietnam, there’s a sense of pride in opening a pho restaurant.” Born in the U.S., Wong says eating pho almost every day was a way for him to connect to his heritage. SEE PHO, P18

Vinyl Me, Please keeps the music spinning
ow do you find the music you love? There’s always been the radio, and streaming sites like Spotify have gotten better and better at creating LINER recommendations for NOTES listeners to discover new artists. But the people behind Denver-based Vinyl Me, Please, know none of that can replace the person who shares an album they really love with you. “Everybody has Clarke Reader these moments where you have this friend who is like, ‘No, you have to hear this thing’ and plays it for you,” said Tyler Barstow, who co-founded Vinyl Me, Please with Matt Fiedler in 2013. “Any music person, regardless of how much you use Spotify and that stuff, needs somebody in their life who says, ‘You need to sit down and listen to this one thing,’ and that’s what we do every month.” Vinyl Me, Please, is a record-of-themonth club where subscribers are sent one record each month — a record the 16-person staff has discussed, debated and decided it’s essential to any vinyl collection. Over the years, selections have included everything from Nina Simone’s “Nina Simone Sings the Blues” to The War on Drugs’ “Lost in the Dream” and Gorrilaz’s “Demon Days” to The Fugees’ “The Score.” These unique pressings also include
CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Drake’s “More Life,” released on Young Money, Cash Money and Republic records. Review: Drake was starting to take himself a little too seriously on last year’s “Views,” but he’s lightened up considerably on his latest release, which he is calling a playlist
(how that is different from an album or mixtape, I couldn’t possibly explain). Drake pulls even more international influences into his sound, and as is always the case, he and his producers make it sound absolutely incredible. I’ve always been a fan of Drake’s R&B leanings over rap, and he highlights
that side of himself this time around. Don’t miss it. Favorite song: “Passion Fruit” Most empowering lyric: “They want me gone, wait for the kicker/Bury me now and I only get bigger.” from “Gyalchester””
specially written liner notes, artworks and a custom cocktail-pairing recipe. “We have a relationship with our members where we say, ‘Here is this thing that was really moving to us and we actually spend a lot of time writing about it … and we’d love for you to give it a listen,’ “ Barstow explained. “Our goal is to illuminate and shed some light on where this album comes from, because there are so many albums that aren’t just another pop record or another rap record or another indie rock record.” In addition to the album of the month, subscribers to Vinyl Me, Please, receive access to limited-edition album pressings and special versions through the company’s online store. The website, www.vinylmeplease.com, also features some of the best long-form music writing on the internet, podcasts where Barstow discusses the latest in music with artists and other music experts, and weekly playlists. Vinyl Me, Please, also hosts monthly listening parties called The Spins at
local bars and brewpubs, where music lovers can come together over drinks and great tunes. Not bad for a club that started in a house in Louisville with just 12 members. The roots of the company go back to Chicago, where Barstow and Fiedler lived and worked together. Fiedler got a record player for Christmas, but it was hard to find good vinyl around town. They started looking for record clubs, but couldn’t find any good ones — and so Vinyl Me, Please was born. Fiedler and his wife came to Colorado, and Barstow soon followed, and they started working in earnest on building the best record club available. “It started with how do we get this to work, and then it was how do we make this tolerable and then how do we make this a little better than tolerable, and now we have the resources to go make this thing really great to use and be a part of,” Barstow said. “Over time it’s a relationship you develop with people. And we don’t refer to any of our people

as customers, because they’re members of a thing we’re building with them.” The approach is working: By the end of 2016, Vinyl Me, Please had more than 20,000 subscribers in 40 countries, and has been featured on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and in Forbes Magazine. The company left its Boulder headquarters, and now is in downtown Denver, where it has room for even more growth. “Very slowly, almost without us noticing at times, it became a very big deal,” Barstow said. “Our mantra is we want to bring people closer to music and artists that matter and find more ways to connect with these artists and albums in a deeper level.” At a time where people primarily get their music from digital means, it’s important to celebrate those who still find the meaning in the tactile. “I think there’s something really meaningful about going, ‘I love this album and I have it, and I have it on my shelf and I have all the art. And I open it up and there’s the liner notes and I see all these photographs,’” Barstow said. “There’s something meaningful in the ritual and setting time aside to show how much you value this art.” Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he hopes someone will vinyl him, please. Check out his music blog at calmacil20. blogspot.com.

to the dogs,” the 10-year-old said. “It is fun and it helps me focus on the book and read better. I like to read and I like books about nature.” Across the room, Chelsea Anderson looked on as her son James read to a dog named Bindi. “James was very excited when I told him he was going to read to a dog,” she said. “I believe this is good for him. I feel it helps him with his literacy and I hope he becomes an avid reader like me.” The Englewood resident said her goal is to read 50 books this year. She said she doesn’t count the books she reads with James. Therapy dog owner Rica Mead said she and her dog Bindi were trained by Denver Pet Partners, an organization that supports the animal-human bond that is part of the national Pet Partners organization. Each team is made up of an owner and pet. Denver Pet Partners has about 140 volunteer teams. Most of the pets are dogs but there are also some cats and some miniature horses in the program. “Denver Pet Partners teams are all highly trained and certified to interact with people,” Mead said. “Owners take their pets to schools, hospitals, airports and, of course, libraries.” She said a pet must have a certain personality to undergo therapy dog training. They go through training so they aren’t sensitive to loud noises or

sudden movement. “My Bindi has gone through five levels of training,” she said. “I have also gone through extensive training since I volunteered in 2015.” Mead said she works with special needs children in Douglas County schools, plus she works with Englewood’s Paws to Read program. “The children read to the dog and we are very, very careful about correction,” she said. “We do that because we want the children to enjoy the experience and to gain confidence in their reading abilities.”

PHO FROM PAGE 14
For American customers like Chad Baker, of Aurora, the connection may not be as personal, but the personality of the cooks comes through in the taste. “Every kitchen has its own flavor, every restaurant does its own thing,” Baker, who’s been a pho fan for four or five years, says. “Every place has a different broth,” says Baker’s table mate, Nicole Nicholas of Highlands Ranch. Being able to customize her dish with basil, lime, jalapeno or sauces available is another plus. “I like that you can do your own thing with it,” she says. Littleton’s Janie Salazar says that that versatility makes pho the perfect option for a family. She and her husband bring their children to Pho Real so everybody gets what they want out of the meal. “There’s so many things you can throw in it,” Salazar says. “Everyone in the family customizes it, and the kids feel like they’re making their own soup.” A remedy for what ails you Salazar adds that knowing pho is made with fresh, healthy ingredients makes her feel good about what she’s feeding her family, a selling point not lost on other pho lovers who rely on the dish as a remedy for whatever ails them.
Customers tell the Nguyens they rely on a hot bowl of pho to get them over the flu, a cold or the occasional hangover. “We hear it all,” Sue says. “I love that pho is becoming the next chicken noodle soup.” Monica Baruth likes to bring her 24-year-old daughter, Lindsay, with her when she visits Pho Real, especially when one of them is under the weather. “It’s like you’re eating your medicine,” Monica says, pointing with her chopsticks at the vibrant vegetables floating atop her bowl of broth. “It’s hydrating as well,” Lindsay says. “I love the freshness of it, it’s hearty and it makes your soul feel good.” That warm, full feeling is what keeps customers coming back, Wong says, healthy or sick, rain or shine or snow. “It’s a comfort food. You get filled up but it’s easy to digest,” he says. “It’s also really comforting to have a hot bowl of soup on a cold morning.” “I check the weather report every night,” he adds with a smile. As they begin to prepare an entrée for Popylisen, before he can order it, Sue and Ally insist they’d be making pho the same way they always have even if they didn’t have a restaurant. It’s comfort food for them too, after all. “We’re eating this every day,” Sue says. Ally agrees. “We’re making it as much for us as we are for them.”

Cranes fly into valley on wings of wonder Monte Vista area comes alive with birds and visitors BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Head southwest on U.S. 285 into the beautiful San Luis Valley for an appealing weekend adventure that works well for families as well as adults, as thousands of sandhill cranes pass through on their northbound migration.. Birders with spotting scopes, seriously large cameras and binoculars line the viewing area west of the Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge along State Highway 15, six miles west of Monte Vista. Viewers also gather along a county road for a mile or so south (look for two separate clumps of old trees). Excited young children seemed to enjoy the search as much as their parents and grandparents — and the elegant birds didn’t seem to ruffle a feather over a little extra noise. What the cranes were concentrating on was eating every possible bite of grain, small frogs, insects and anything else to be found in the bare fields where local farmers have left some grain for them after harvest. This flock, estimated at about 20,000 by naturalists, is stopping over to tank up, on the way to nesting grounds in northern Wyoming and into Canada. They’ll do a reverse trip south with new offspring in September, when they also hang around the area for some time (also a beautiful season for a weekend in the mountains.). Ancient pictographs on nearby rock faces show the long-legged birds that flew on this path thousands of years ago. One sees tall, gray adults with a bright red cap as well as younger brownish cranes, which have not yet developed the red cap. “The Pictorial Checklist of Colorado Birds” talks about a smaller brownish variety that travels with the gray cranes, but more recent books don’t seem to distinguish them, and one does see quite a range of brownish cranes side by

The gray adults have bright red caps. PHOTO BY KIRSTEN ORAHOOD side with the larger sleek gray birds. It’s said that cranes mate for life and the younger birds travel with parents the first year — and then with the flock after a new chick needs care from the adults. They are close enough to see clearly with the bare eye, but binoculars distinguish different markings. Then suddenly, there will be a call and a number will rise into the air and sail away, communicating as they fly. (Especially engaging toward sunset when the sky fills with birds heading to roost overnight.) At the same time another group may circle in to land and feed. The best times to see them would be mornings before 10 a.m. and afternoons after 4 p.m. Monte Vista hosted its 34th Annual Crane Festival March 10-12, but one can spot the birds well into April. Our three-generation family visited March 17-19 and easily spotted thousands. If they’re not at the first location, check another one. A slow drive through the part of

‘Math Lab’ is number one for childhood fun BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“Welcome to the secret world of mathematicians … Mathematicians play. They come up with interesting questions and investigate possible solutions,” say authors Rebecca Rapoport and J.A. Yoder about their recently published book, “Math Lab,” which presents shapes, puzzles and games and invites hands-on participation. “Math Lab” — which is aimed at 6- to 10-year-olds who may want to develop “skills in math, science, engineering, writing and well, life” — has numerous exercises that only require items available around the house: toothpicks, gum-
drops, paper (assorted colors), string, pencil, tape … and, of course, a curious kid with a bit of parental assistance, when needed. Along the way, an interesting vocabulary will grow: octahedron, dodecahedron, Mobius, parabola, fractal — and one can learn the ancient game of Nim. The book grew out of an after-school STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) center the authors helped to build. Illustrations are colorful and projects are clearly explained, step by step. It would definitely be best to begin at the beginning and work up to the more complex shapes later, no matter how swell they look — followed by puzzles and games.
With colored chalk, a broom and string, one can draw giant circles and ellipses on a sidewalk or driveway — and perhaps create a game or grand design. With a needle and colored thread, one can stitch parabolas into elaborate stars. With colored paper, scissors, ruler and a triangle template you have made previously, you can build a complex Sierpinski Triangle. At the back of the book, there is also a pattern for Tangrams, which can offer endless diversion. With each lab is a section of instructions, colorful illustration and, sometimes, a “Think About It” phrase and/or a related activity. A 6-year-old will almost certainly
need a patient assistant, while an older child, with adequate motor skills, will be able to follow directions leading to some really sophisticated and beautiful shapes — both flat and three-dimensional — as well as a collection of new games to share with friends. The authors express the thought early on that “Real math is so much more about curiosity and experimentation than most people realize.” Some additional resources and their website are included as well, as kids learn to play with math. “Math Lab” is a large, sturdy trade paperback book, published by Quarto Publishing’s Quarry Books division.

Heritage’s Arian Jimenez leads off the bottom of the first with a double, but was stranded at second base in the March 23 game against Cherry Creek. The Bruins held on for a 7-6 victory to hand the Eagles their first loss of the season in a game featured two top 10 teams in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A rankings. JIM BENTON
Bruins edge Heritage in top 10 showdown Cherry Creek holds on for 7-6 win over Eagles BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Cherry Creek and Heritage believe that scheduling tough baseball games early can make teams better late in the season. The Bruins went to Heritage for a non-league game featuring two of the top 10 teams in the state on March 23. Cherry Creek, ranked fourth in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll, took a 7-2 lead into the bottom of the seventh and held on for a 7-6 triumph over the 10th-ranked Eagles. Both teams departed for a spring break trip to Arizona after the game, with Cherry Creek toting a 4-1 record and Heritage a 3-1 mark. “If you look at our schedule, we schedule everybody that has good pitchers,” Creek coach Marc Johnson said. “We want to see everybody’s best. And if we lose some games, we lose some games. We want to be where we are seeing good pitching every game. We know that as Cherry Creek, people will bring their best against us.”
Heritage coach Scott Hormann had two of Colorado’s most touted pitchers facing the Bruins. “We just have to play the best schedule we can play,” he said. “Wins and losses take care of themselves. I’m not concerned whether we won or lost. That was a great ball game. Either team could have won it. I think we showed we’re a top team in the state. We want to be around. We want to play the best schedule we can play. Playing against Creek is always a good option.” Heritage junior right-hander Riley Egloff started for the Eagles but was touched for eight hits and five runs in four innings. Senior Jacob Hilton allowed two hits in three innings of work and struck out seven batters, although the Bruins managed two unearned runs in the top of the seventh, which provided the winning margin. Junior Tyler Schultz delivered a two-run double just inside the third-base foul line to key a three-run second inning for the Bruins. Senior Cody Schultz and junior Tanner O’Tremba hit back-to-back solo homers in the third as Creek took a 5-1 lead. Heritage got a run back in the fourth and had SEE BASEBALL, P27
STANDOUT PERFORMERS Meg Hanson, lacrosse, junior, Arapahoe: She had four goals as the Warriors had 10 different players score in a 20-3 win over Evergreen on March 20. Jordan Medina, baseball, junior, Highlands Ranch: He went 4-for-4 with a home run and double, drove in five runs and stole a base as the Falcons opened play March 21 in the Pride Classic Tournament with an 18-0 win over Scottsdale Christian Academy. Case Williams, baseball, freshman, Douglas County: Williams allowed just one hit and struck out nine
batters in a four-inning stint during the Huskies’ 5-0 win over Highland of Palmdale, California, on March 21. Jacob Dack, track, senior, Lutheran: Dack won the shot put (52-00.25) and discus (136-03.00) on March 23 at the Denver South Rebel Invitational. Logan O’Neill, baseball, senior, Rock Canyon: O’Neill went 3-for-3, scored three runs, stole a base and had five runs batted in as the Jaguars beat Valley Vista of Surprise, Arizona, on March 22.

ole Pearn and Chris Gayle feel right at home in Golden, but neither is home very often. Both are crew chiefs for Denver’s NASCAR Furniture Row Racing teams. Pearn is in his second season as crew chief for the No. 78 team and driver OVERTIME Martin Truex Jr. Truex, who won March 12 in Las Vegas, is third in driver points and has a series-leading eight playoff bonus points following the March 26 Auto Club 400 in Fontana, California. Gayle is the crew chief for the No. 77 and rookie driver Erik Jones, for the second FRR team. Jones is 15th in the point standings. Pearn and his family moved from Jim Benton North Carolina to the Denver area before the start of the 2016 season. They are embracing the Colorado lifestyle, but it’s not always easy. “It’s hard being away,” said Pearn, a native of London, Ontario, who plays hockey in an area league and skis during the offseason. “I’ve got two young kids (Callum and Freya), so it’s hard on my wife (Carrie)… We just do the best we can with it, but it’s a challenge.” On most NASCAR weeks when races are on Sundays, the FRR teams return to Denver after the race Sunday evening and depart on Thursday for the next track Gayle, along with his wife Brandi and 2-year-old daughter Cora, moved to Golden from North Carolina on Nov. 30, 2016. “I moved out (here) and three days later it dumped 9 inches of snow and it was like 4 degrees for a high for two straight days,” Gayle. “I was like, ‘whew, this is more than I expected,’ but then three days later it was 50 degrees and all the snow was gone. It’s nice and sunny and I like that.” American football in Italy Football is the most popular sport in Italy, but in America that sport is called soccer. Castle View senior Riese Lutz is part of the American Football Worldwide USA Elite 19U team that will tour Italy April 15-22 and will play a game of American football on April 22 in Milan against the Italian National U19 team. The Italian team gets together a couple times a year to train and compete against other national European American football teams. The USA team will help refine the American form of football for Italy’s team. Lutz was all-conference player in the Mount Wilson league last season. The cornerback/free safety made 26 solo tackles, had five interceptions and blocked two field goals.
Later start shouldn’t effect sports Start time for classes at the high schools in the Cherry Creek School District will start later for the 2017-18 school year. The school day will start at 8:20 a.m. and release at 3:30 p.m. Cherry Creek High School Athletic Director Jason Wilkins doesn’t anticipate any effect on Bruins’ athletic practices or after-school games, even those away games that start at 4 or 4:15 p.m. “We do anticipate a few more students wanting off the last period of the day as athletes will not want to miss class for a game,” Wilkins said. “We also anticipate more students wanting a first-period class since it will now start later. “When I went through and looked at every game played last year, the location and the times, it was surprising to see how few games would have been affected by this new end time. One of the benefits is that many coaches are out of the building these days, so practices started later anyway. This later end time will help to eliminate some of that down time while kids waited for practice to start.” Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968. He can be reached at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com or at 303-566-4083.

Benton, coaches honored at Hall of Fame dinner Colorado Community Media’s own Jim Benton was honored with the Media Award by the Colorado High School Coaches Association March 25 at its Hall of Fame induction dinner in Aurora. Benton joined five coaches in receiving honors at the dinner. Benton is a Denver native who graduated from Lincoln High School and the University of Denver. He worked for 41 years as a sportswriter for the Rocky Mountain News covering all levels of sports — club, high school, college and pro. Since 2012, he has been covering sports, with a focus on high schools, in the metro area for Colorado Community Media. Also inducted wereformer Chaparral

runners on first and second with one out in the fifth when Cody Schultz stabbed a hard ground ball hit by Egloff and turned it into an inningending double play. “Everybody thought it was a base hit — I did too,” Johnson said. “Cody got it and I think the runner thought he had a base hit. He wasn’t running as hard as he could. Getting that double play was huge. “It was a good game. They scrapped, came back and hit a grand slam. It was a good thing we were up 7-2.” The play by Cody Schultz prevented what could have been a big Heritage inning. “It was a hard hit ground ball,” Cody Schultz said. “I got down to one knee
High School volleyball coachT.R. Ellis, former Fowler basketball coach Greg Fruhwirth, former North Park coach and althletic director Randy Hodgson, former Overland football coachTony Manfredi and Colorado Academy track and cross country coach Alan Versaw. Ellis was the lone female coach inducted by the CHSCA this year. She began her coaching career in Colorado at Olathe High School in 1982 and in 1990 moved over to the Douglas County School District for the remainder of her career. In 1997, Chaparral High opened and Ellis became the school’s first volleyball coach. In 2010 and 2011, the Wolverines were state champions and she led them to a 226-120 record. She was the All-Colorado Volleyball Coach of the Year and Class 5A Volleyball Coach of the Year in 2011.
and just tried to stop it if I could and keep it close to me. “It definitely killed their momentum. Facing good competition just prepares us when it comes playoff time and we’ve faced the best arms in the state. Jacob Hilton came in and threw lights out for them from the fourth inning on.” Hilton allowed two hits in three innings but struck out seven batters. The Bruins managed to score two unearned runs in the top of the seventh to take a 7-2 lead. Gunnar Kozlowitz belted a two-out grand slam in the bottom of the seventh to pull the Eagles to within one run, but Creek reliever Gabe Austin got the game’s final out with a strikeout. “Tip your cap to them,” Hormann said. “They beat us. Hopefully, we get the chance to beat them the next time.”
