Works pay tribute to baseball TV station includes artist’s paintings in Negro League feature By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Former Englewood resident and artist Kyle Banister responded to a request and created a number of paintings that were filmed for a Root Sports Television feature on the Negro Baseball League scheduled to
air May 18 as part of the program “Rockies Weekly” that follows the Rockies game. “I got a call asking me to do some art works of athletes who played in the Negro Baseball League that would be included in the TV feature,” Banister said. “The feature is being done because the Colorado Rockies are in Kansas City May 13 and 14 and plans are for some of the players to visit the Negro Baseball Museum located there.” Banister did a total of seven art works of Negro Baseball League players Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson and Willie Mays. He said Paige played for the Kansas City

Monarchs, Mays played for the Birmingham Black Barons and Gibson played for Homestead Grays. Paige and Mays both later played for teams in Major League Baseball. Gibson, said to be one of the greatest catchers and power hitters ever, never got to play in the then all-white majors. “I used pictures on Google as models but then took artistic license to create my artworks,” he said. “For example, probably the most famous picture of Satchel Paige was on Life Magazine of him in a Cleveland Indians uniform. My interpretation of that picture is a three-dimensional piece with Paige made out of aluminum, wearing a Monarchs uniform with his feet extended out of the frame. He is leaning against the brick wall made of sign foam.” He said baseball is one of the favorite artwork subjects. His seven works of Negro Baseball League players are hanging on the walls of Cuttin’ it Loose Salon located at the northwest corner of South Inca Street and Englewood Parkway. He said the works will be at the salon for about a month or more.
Every public elementary school in Englewood recorded an increase this year in the percentage of third-graders scoring in the proficient or advance range on the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program reading tests. “We are excited and proud of the performance of our third-graders on the reading tests,” said Brian Ewert, school superintendent. “But we also try to keep everything in perspective. This is a different group of third-graders from the third-graders who took the test last year, so it’s comparing apples to oranges. Also, this is the first state assessment test results for these students, so we don’t have a test history measuring the academic growth of these students. But we do want to take the opportunity to celebrate the achievements of these students.” School or district TCAP results are reported as the percentage of students who scored unsatisfactory, partially proficient, proficient and advanced. This year, the average number of third-graders statewide scoring proficient or advanced declined slightly from 73 percent in 2013 to 72 percent this year. It was a different story in Englewood elementary schools. According to the unofficial results provided by the state, the percentage of students scoring proficient and advanced went up in every school, and the district percentage climbed from 54 percent in 2013 to 64 percent this year. The highest percentage gain was at Cherrelyn Elementary School. Last year, 31 percent of the third-graders scored proficient or advanced, while 53 percent of this year’s third-graders achieved those scores. The difference in the 2013 and 2014 percentages of students achieving proficient and advance scores at the other schools were: Bishop: 56 percent to 57 percent Clayton: 58 percent to 63 percent Charles Hay: 68 percent to 73 percent “The results of the third-grade TCAP scores are exciting, and I don’t believe you can attribute the improvements to any one factor,” Ewert said. “In the four years we have been in the district, we have strived to help students improve and grow academically.” He did note the district issued an iPad to each student and rolled out a reading program called myOn Reader. The iPads also provide students access to more than 4,000 books. Since the program began in July 2013, Englewood students have read a total of almost 59,000 books and they have spent more than 14,000 hours reading. The superintendent said he feels the district is making progress in student growth and achievement. He said that in the last three years, Englewood has gone from being classified by the state as a Turnaround District that needed to improve to a district classified as Accredited with Improvement. He said improvement continues to be the goal, and the reading scores hopefully indicate Englewood schools are moving in the right direction.

Lawmakers working together? Let’s see if it lasts If last year’s legislative session was an exercise in surrealism, than this year’s version was like a Bob Ross painting. Sure, there were moments of contention this year. But, for the most part, the olive branches that lawmakers extended to one another all turned into “happy little trees,” as the late Ross would say. This year’s session didn’t have the same venomous bite to it as last year’s. And, for the most part, everyone was on his or her best behavior and legislators actually... umm... worked together on a lot of things? To the rolled eyes and groans among the jaded members of the press, lawmakers have been touting this session as one where about 96 percent of the bills that passed came with bipartisan support. House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, DDenver, points out that the 2013 session was pretty bipartisan as well, but that the “noise” that came about from a handful of bills — such as one that created civil unions and others that tightened gun laws — made it difficult for others to notice that lawmakers often were working together. “There was a lot more heat in the building last year,” Ferrandino said. “One of the differences is we had a biblical flood in our state between the two sessions and I think a lot of people said, `Let’s (set aside) the gamesmanship, the feigned indignation and fighting that we do for theater sometimes and actually just get the work done.’” Even claims that the session was a bipartisan success came with bipartisan support.
“Overall it was not quite as contentious this year as it was last year,” said House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland. DelGrosso acknowledged that there were fights on some issues, but not many. “I think that was kind of good for everybody... to have a little more civility,” he said. Some of the key pieces of legislation that passed the Legislature this year came with overwhelming bipartisan support. They included the Student Success Act, a major K-12 school-funding bill, and an effort to fund a state-operated aerial firefighting fleet. And some of the high-profile bills that died were bipartisan efforts, such as a bill that would have banned photo radar technology like red light cameras and another bill that would have prohibited the sale of cigarettes to persons under 21. There was a sharp difference in tone at the Capitol this year and there wasn’t nearly the kind of tension that resulted in marathon debates on issues like gun control, like we saw last year.
Now, this year started out looking like it was going to be an extension of 2013, when Senate Republicans — just days into the session — blasted Democrats by accusing them of bending the rules to prevent repeal efforts on gun bills from being heard. Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs, even suggested that Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, be recalled over the whole thing — which, by the way, turned out to be a non-story because the controversy was born out of a misunderstanding. Still, when Cadman threw down, I was like, “Oh, snap. Here we go. Where’s the popcorn?” Seriously, I settled in for what I expected to be 2013 redux. Instead, nothing. This year’s session was hardly a heavyweight fight. At best, it was like watching a 12-round fight between a couple of aging boxers who can’t lift their arms to throw punches any more. But, don’t kid yourselves. These guys are politicians and they know when it’s appropriate to sit around the campfire and sing songs together and when it’s time to throw down. For example, House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, D-Gunbarrel, recently took issue when a reporter asked her if the quiet session was a result of Democrats getting the message that they may have overreached on some issues last year. “I think one reason why this one was less contentious was that (Republicans) got the
message,” she said. “We’re here to do the work of the people and that’s how we do it. We do the work that we think is of core importance to the people of Colorado and a lot of that was bipartisan. “We don’t pick fights to pick fights and maybe they’ve begun to understand that.” But Republicans believe that voters will have long memories when they go to the polls in November. And Cadman will be eligible to become Senate President if just one seat flips in that chamber. “I think what we offer is opportunity and what these guys offer is oppression,” said Cadman. “I mean, these guys virtually want to control everything...” So, in spite of all the feel-good bills that came out of the Capitol this year, there is going to be a real messaging battle that’s going to be played out on television and through yard signs and bumper stickers this fall. And who knows what that’s going to mean for next year’s Legislature, which could end up looking a whole lot different than this year’s. So, I wouldn’t get too accustomed to all this do-goody bipartisanship just yet. Because all it takes is one scorching issue to burn all those happy little trees to the ground.

Felony DUI bill dies again Bill would have created stiffer drunken-driving penalties By Vic Vela

Friday, May 30 8:00 am — 5:00pm Cost: $99
An effort that dies every year suffered another death this Legislative session as a Senate committee on May 6 killed a bill that sought to create a felony drunken-driving penalty in Colorado. The bill would have made a person’s third DUI in seven years or fourth in a lifetime a felony punishable with possible prison time. But the Senate Appropriations Committee on May 6 put an end to the bill, which would have resulted in millions of dollars in costs for having to incarcerate more offenders. But that’s a cost worth paying for a safer society, said Republican bill sponsors who blasted Senate Democrats who killed the legislation. “The health and traveling safety is at risk from people who consistently drive under the influence of alcohol,” said Sen. Steve King, R-Grand
Junction. “They do have a problem and they’ve gone through treatment and they continue to drive because it’s easy for them. “At what point does justice outweigh treatment?” The bill had previously passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support. But Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Pat Steadman, D-Denver, said the bill would have resulted in an enormous cost to the state. The bill wouldn’t have cost anything for the 2014-2015 fiscal year, but state expenditures over the next three years would have combined for about $20.7 million, according to an updated Legislative Council fiscal analysis. But Rep. Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, the bill’s House sponsor, said the state is in much better economic shape than it has been in recent years. That led him to wonder, “If we’re not going to prioritize it this year, with this budget, when are we going to prioritize it? “There is money in the budget to make this happen and we’re never going to have a better circumstance than what we have today to make this happen,” Waller said. Both Waller and King have tried
for several years to make a felony DUI law a reality in Colorado. The bill has failed each time. Colorado is one of only a handful of states that does not have a felony DUI law. Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, said she wasn’t opposed to the bill, but understood why it failed. For one thing, Carroll said the bill would have resulted in $15 million in state costs for prison beds alone. “It might make us feel better, but if you have $15 million to either put in treatment for alcohol abuse or $15 million in prison beds, where are we better off?” Carroll said. “It’s a really good question.” Steadman said that repeat DUI offenders have addictions and that prisons aren’t the ideal place to treat their problems. Steadman also said that being an addict means you are less inclined to be deterred by the prospect of prison time, to begin with. “You can get into a big debate about the deterrent effect of criminal law,” Steadman said. “And when you’re dealing with a behavior that is driven by addiction, those deterrent effects and rational decision-making you kind of have to step back and question.”

Englewood police are trying to locate the two men who reportedly tried unsuccessfully to kidnap a 15-year-old girl. The police received the report about 11:50 a.m. May 9 and went to meet with the girl at Cornerstone Park, located at 5150 S. Windermere Street. The girl told officers she was in the northwest corner of the park when two men grabbed her from behind. She said she was able to escape from her attackers and the two men ran to a vehicle and drove away. The man who got into the driver’s seat was described as a 45- to 50-year-old Hispanic man. He has a medium build, short hair, a mustache and long sideburns. He was wearing a black long-sleeve shirt and black pants. She described the second attacker as a 45- to 50-year-old man about 5-feet, 9-inches tall. He also has a medium build, brown eyes, brown short hair and long sideburns. He was last seen wearing a light blue long sleeve shirt and black pants. The men reportedly left the park in a

Stolen car investigation
A stolen car investigation led to the arrest of a 36-year-old man who could face charges related to stolen checks and other items found in the car. Englewood police were called about 8:15 p.m. May 9 to investigate a possible stolen car being followed by members of the East Metro Auto Theft Task Force. Police stopped the 2014 BMW X5 in the area of South Broadway and West Hampden Avenue. The man who was driving the stolen vehicle said he decided to take the car after he found the keys on the ground beside it. During the routine search of the vehicle, officers found stolen checks, counterfeit $100 bills and a number of tools usually associated with burglaries. The suspect was arrested and taken to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Detention Facility. He could face a variety of charges related to the car and its contents.

opinions / yours and ours
Economy improves, but investors worry Investors always seem to have something to worry about. They worry when the market is down and unemployment is high, and now they are worried the market is high and unemployment is down. Welcome to my world. No matter how many times we hear that no one can time or predict the market, the average street investor still tries to do just that. While it is always unsettling to lose money in an investment, most people do not realize that the silent thieves of inflation, spending and poor planning are much more harmful to your net worth than staying with a solid investment plan in good and bad times. Equity investors have enjoyed a nice bull market since the last significant sell-off in March 2009. We have had 13 pullbacks since then of 5 percent or more. During the last five years we have had two instances of a correction, which is defined as a 10 percent or more decline. In 2010 we had a 16 percent decline and in 2011 an 18 percent
decline. Hopefully you did not exit your investment strategy during those times or you would have missed out on one of the most significant bull markets in history. Looking back on your investment performance in the last five years, you can see that you actually benefited from market volatility over that time period. The market re-prices itself when necessary to keep from having artificially high prices that are not sustainable. Therefore, these are good opportunities for people consistently adding to their investments, such as through
Listen, keep listening, and listen some more Have you ever had a conversation with someone who continually tries to compete on everything from vacations to headaches and from sports to life experiences? You know what I mean, right? If there is a chance to talk about themselves, they will. But let me ask you this … how often have we been guilty of that ourselves? When someone tells us about their children, do we immediately chime in with a similar story about our own children? Maybe even a competing tale that tops what they were trying to tell us. It’s all too common isn’t it? We have become such an “I” focused world we have almost completely forgotten how to have a genuine conversation with others. We have an “I”Pod, “I”Pad, “I”Touch, or “I” anything and everything designed to please ourselves. Now, I am generalizing, of course, because I do know some people who are extremely attentive listeners and keep discussions going based on good, quality questions that they ask, going deeper into what is happening in the exchange instead of trying to outdo or one-up the other person. There is a story that Dr. Denis Waitley shares in his program “The Psychology of Winning” where he talks about a party that he and his wife had hosted. He is one of those extremely attentive listeners and great conversationalists. In his story, he lamented that after the party he felt as if he didn’t do enough talking, he did too much listening and asking questions. But as he took out the trash he overheard his neighbors talking about the party, and they actually commented on how smart and interesting of a guy that Denis was. Think about that for just a moment. Denis didn’t talk about himself, he never mentioned the word “I” or tried to compete in a conversation. All he did was listen and ask terrific questions and they thought he was smart and interesting. What was it that
made them feel that way? Well, he made the conversations about other people, he kept his ears open and his focus on the topic of discussion and not himself. You know the old saying, “God gave us two ears and one mouth and we should use them in that proportion.” Meaning we should listen twice as much as we speak. This holds true in any profession and in any of our personal relationships. Doctors listen much more than they talk, how else can they identify health issues and diagnose the problem? Great sales people know that it is really all about qualifying their customers and prospects through questioning and listening before offering a solution. Spouses, parents, friends, and co-workers can all seem smarter and make conversations more interesting and thoughtful by simply practicing the art of listening, asking more “you” centered questions, and avoiding all “I” focused statements. How about you, do you focus on the other person or do you engage in a battle of verbal ping-pong to make yourself the center of attention? Either way and always I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we trade an ear for an eye, it will be a better than good week.

a 401(k) plan. Here you can buy during all different market cycles and accumulate more shares on the down days, which help to compound your overall return. Typically when economic news starts to improve, investors get nervous. This may be the situation we are in currently, where we have not had a correction since September 2011. However, it is counterintuitive to worry about devaluing stocks when the economy is getting stronger. This theory further confirms that investor behavior can be a more significant driver in market sell-offs than true fundamentals. Therefore these declines typically don’t last very long — an average of 23 days — after which the stock market begins to recover again. Capital Research and Management Co. states there are three things for investors to remember: 1. No one can consistently predict when market declines will happen 2. No one can consistently predict how
long a decline will last 3. No one can consistently predict the right time to get in or out of the market Based on this good advice, we recommend investors make decisions based on their goals, time frame and risk tolerance rather than guessing the right timing. There is never a perfect time to invest, but it is proven that you will be better off financially if you do put and keep your money working for you.

The dogged pursuit of peace and quiet You can have a direct impact on your neighbors’ quality of life. Since I began writing this column over two years ago, I have received hundreds of emails. Some columns have fathered a few, some more than a few and one generated a lot of emails. It was the column last month about my neighbor’s dog, who can bark for hours. I am not the only one with a problem. I heard from readers who are miserable, who have filed complaints and who have acrimonious relationships because they filed complaints. I received a number of suggestions. One reader recommended a Sunbeam Ultrasonic Egg Dog Bark Control Device, which she placed on her fence. It solved the problem. Her neighbors don’t know why Bingo no longer barks. There’s no paperwork with Douglas County, corroboration with another neighbor as required, no resentment, no retaliation. My art studio extends into the back yard, and there is nothing between it and my neighbor’s dog except a 20-year-old fence. The barking ruins my studio time. Even if I turn up the music. We all love our dogs. That might be a slight exaggeration, because some dogs and other pets are neglected, just as some children are. Between the two there is almost nothing that is worse. Neglected children socialize poorly

and may become bullies at school, or the targets of bullies. Neglected dogs, ones without supervision and discipline, can easily disrupt a neighborhood. There are three little dogs across the street who are right on the greenbelt sidewalk, and blast off every time someone walks by, with or without a dog. They get out and run around the neighborhood. Smitty and I have been “engaged” 15 times by dogs on the loose. I take a sawed-off broomstick when we go for walks. “Oh, it’s OK,” one woman said. “He’s wearing an electronic collar.” Memo: Douglas Country does not approve of an electronic dog collar as an alternative to a leash. Unleashed dogs are all over. I wrote about one that charged at us. The owner acted like his dog was exempt. And used a profanity in front of his son when I picked up Smitty, and commented about his failure to follow county rules and laws. Of course there is poop everywhere. Can’t be bothered? Why do you own a dog? Smith continues on Page 7

Waggoner named citizen of the year Former city employee, councilman honored at May 12 event By Tom Munds
tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com About 100 friends, family members and city officials gathered May 12 at the Malley Senior Recreation Center to honor Kells Waggoner as the 2014 Englewood Citizen of the Year. Mayor Randy Penn was the first speaker to the podium. He detailed the fact Waggoner’s service spanned more than 50 years as he served as public works director and, after retiring from the city, served two terms on the city council and countless years on city volunteer boards and commissions. “I feel Kells epitomizes what Englewood is all about,” he said. Linda Olson, mayor pro tem, read the proclamation the city council unanimously approved naming Waggoner the citizen of the year. Waggoner grew up in Wyoming and joined the Air Force a few days before his high school graduation so he wouldn’t have to speak at the ceremonies. His mother picked up his diploma for him. He served almost four years in the service. After he received his discharge, he enrolled at the University of Wyoming. “I received an academic scholarship and I had the GI bill so I could go to college and study civil engineering,” he said. “I graduated with honors and worked with the city engineer in Casper, Wyo.,
Kells Waggoner, left, helps his daughter Kathi Moore pin a flower on his wife Jodi prior to the May 12 ceremonies. Waggoner was named Englewood’s 2014 Citizen of the Year. Waggoner served as Public Works director for more than 26 years, served two terms on city council and has spent many years as a volunteer on city boards and commissions. Photo by Tom Munds for five years before I was hired as city engineer for Englewood in 1964.” He met his wife-to-be in 1958. They were married six months later. They moved to Englewood in 1964 and raised two boys and two girls. Waggoner had been on the job in Englewood less than a year when the flood of 1965 swept away all the bridges over the South Platte River, effectively cutting the city in half.
“We went to work rebuilding the connection to the west,” he said. “We started with the Dartmouth Avenue Bridge and moved south.” He said, when he came to the city, there was no storm watermanagement system, so often homes were flooded when heavy rains hit. “We had two places that we pumped out so they wouldn’t flood area houses,” Waggoner said. “One we called the frog pond
was in the 3300 block of South Ogden Street and the other we called the elephant wallow was bigger and near the Kenyon Avenue and the railroad tracks.” Waggoner organized an effort and got city support to build a storm water-drainage system. The system including using a number of parks including, Romans Park and Bates-Logan Park, as detention ponds where storm water would collect and drain off slowly, thus keeping homes in the
areas from being flooded. He also helped organize engineers from five counties to deal with storm water issues and that organization evolved into the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District. During his 26 years as public works director, Waggoner was able to relocate scattered city shops into the newly constructed ServiCenter that increased efficiency and saved money. He retired from the city in 1990 and the next successfully ran for city council in 1991, where he served two four-year terms. Additionally, he voluntarily served on a variety of boards and commissions and still is serving on the water and sewer board. Speakers at the May 12 event talked about many of his accomplishments but his daughter Kathi Moore wrapped up the comments as she talked about Waggoner as a husband, father and grandfather. “Tonight, a lot has been said about Dad’s commitment and dedication to Englewood. He also was committed and dedicated to his wife, children and grandchildren,” she said in a voice reflecting her emotions. “The city is honoring Dad as the 2014 citizen of the year. However, to his children and grandchildren, Dad is our hero and our citizen of a lifetime.” Waggoner took the microphone briefly and he said he was honored to be named citizen of the year. “A lot has been said about my accomplishments but you don’t do anything by yourself,” he said. Everything I have done is because of all the support and assistance from family and co-workers who believed in what I was doing.”
Dartmouth bridge work planned Work on deck will cause partial closure of street By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Work to repair sections of the concrete deck of the West Dartmouth Avenue Bridge over the South Platte River will result in partial closure in the eastbound lanes but one westbound lane will remain open throughout the project. The work on the bridge deck is scheduled to begin about noon May 16 and the project is expected to be completed on the morning of May 19 when one lane in each direction will be opened. Full traffic flow is scheduled to be restored by May 20. Plans are to detour traffic to either Hampden or Evans during the lane closures. The Dartmouth Bridge over the South Platte River was started in 1964 but the work was swept away by the 1965 flood. Work began again on the bridge and the span of one land in each direction was completed in late 1965. The route is a major east-west thorough-

As I said in the previous column, there are many more important issues to occupy our time, but a barking dog can really impact the quality of home life. We do things that we shouldn’t, like texting behind the wheel, running red lights, failing to use turn signals (“Turn signals? What are turn signals?”), speeding, tailgating, and it all seems to be OK. Allowing a dog to bark is a piece of that disregard for others. So far, I have yet to hear from someone who defends barking. Usually I hear from the counterpoints. But how can you defend a nuisance?
fare and the bridge was widened to two lanes in each direction in the 1970s. While the steel structure of the bridge is sound, the impact of the weather and the heavy traffic flow has taken a toll on the bridge and the concrete deck is deteriorating. Rick Kahm, public works director, has sought funds to rebuild the bridge deck. The estimated cost of rebuilding the bridge deck is $1.2 million. Kahm, on behalf of the city, applied to Colorado Municipal League for funds. At the same time, in case the city didn’t get the grant, Englewood had a design engineer develop a pilot project to repair a section of the bridge deck. The city didn’t get the grant but Englewood did budget $100,000 for the pilot bridge section replacement project scheduled to get underway on May 16. “The first step is for the contractor to strip away the asphalt in order to inspect the concrete bridge deck,” said Larry Nimmo, public works field operations administrator. “An engineer will inspect the concrete and determine the best way to rebuild the deck. When the deck is completed, we’ll put down a new asphalt road surface.” If your sleep, your book time, your films, meals, and conversations are punctured and punctuated repeatedly by a backyard dog, then your home is no longer a sanctuary. While I’m at it, I dislike the Fourth of July, and the days before it and the days after it, because I have schmuck neighbors who like to make loud noises. Is it cool? I think it is asinine and disrespectful. Fireworks scare Smitty and other dogs, too. One jumped a fence and was run over and killed. The owner got an apology. Chances are offenders are not reading this. That’s just the way it is. But it’s apparent from my in-box that they are being watched.

Rotary adds three to Circle of Heroes Englewood club chooses school, police, and fire personnel to honor By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com
The three new members of the Englewood Rotary Circle of Heroes shake hands with one of the club members. The honorees are, left to right, Debby Moomaw, police dispatcher, Dan Alley, fire department driver/operator engineer and Angel Aguilar, head custodian at Englewood Middle School. Photo by Tom Munds fighter, and added that his brother is a captain in the Littleton Fire Department. He added he felt he had the best job in the world. Brian Ewert, school superintendent, introduced the district’s honoree, Angel Aguilar, who is head custodian at Englewood Middle School. “We have 200 support people in our district who keep our schools clean, well-maintained and safe,” Ewert said. “Angel is one of those people, and he is being honored today for his actions that probably kept a middle-school girl from being harmed.” The superintendent said Aguilar was driving to a meeting when he saw a blue van following a girl
on her way to the middle school. He said Angel felt it looked wrong, so he followed the blue van and copied down the license plate number. “The driver of the van noticed he was being followed and drove away,” Ewert said. “Angel notified school officials of what he saw and school officials called the police. Police traced the plate and found it belonged to a registered sex offender. We believe Angel’s action kept the girl from harm.” Aguilar thanked the Rotarians for the honor. He said he has been in Englewood School District 10 years, loves his job and wouldn’t want to work anywhere else. Police Chief John Collins intro-

headed the effort to get volunteers to help with the Labor Day event.” The chief said Alley got a late start, obtained approval to do the fundraiser and collected more than $2,000. “He worked on the project and organized it better each year,” Marsh said. “In 2013, Englewood Fire Department collected more than $24,000 in donations for MDA.” Alley spoke briefly. He said his wife Bernadette’s name should also be on the award because she has stood beside him and helped with the MDA projects each year. He also introduced his son Daniel, who is a Denver firefighter, and his son John, who is a Vail fire-

Three names were added to the Englewood Rotary Club’s Circle of Heroes at the club’s April 30 meeting. Honored this year were Dan Alley, Angel Aguilar and Debby Moomaw. Dawn Shepherd heads the club’s Circle of Heroes program and talked about this year’s honorees. “The people we honor are our friends, our neighbors in the police department, fire department and school district who serve the people of Englewood community,” she said. “We are honoring three people today, but all the police, firefighters and school district people are our heroes.” The head of each honoree’s organization read the individual’s nomination and each new member of the Circle of Heroes made a few comments. Fire Chief Andy Marsh read the nomination for Alley. He said Alley joined the Englewood Fire Department as a firefighter in 2001 and was promoted in 2006 to driver-operator-engineer. “Metro-area fire departments have long been a part of the annual Labor Day effort to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, but Englewood hadn’t been a part of that for a number of years,” Marsh said. “In 2010, Dan
duced his department’s honoree, Police Dispatcher Debra Moomaw. He said Moomaw began her career in law enforcement in Eugene, Ore. When she and husband moved to the Denver area, she sought to continue in law enforcement and accepted a position as an Englewood Police Department dispatcher. “Deb has lived thought the pen and paper dispatching system to the technology of today with the 911 phones and computer-aided dispatch equipment,” the chief said. “She was working the day of the Columbine tragedy and on duty when the Arapahoe tragedy occurred. She picked up the Arapahoe call on the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s radios; her experience told her the sheriff would need help, so she immediately dispatched our officers to assist at the scene. Our officers arrived at Arapahoe within four minutes of the report of shots fired at the school.” He said dispatchers are key to making sure there is a quick response from the police and fire departments to calls for assistance from the city’s residents. “The role of the dispatchers has been overlooked far too long,” Collins said. “The complicated, stressful work they do doesn’t make the evening news but is essential to what we do. Previously, police officers have been selected to the Circle of Heroes, but if it were not for dispatchers like Deb Moomaw, there would never have been officers of the year.” Moomaw thanked her family for their support during her career. “I am honored by this award. My name is on it, but it isn’t about me; it is about the fact we are a team and everyone’s name should be on the award,” she said.

Governor says fracking special session `50-50’ Lawmakers may work overtime to prevent issue from going to ballot By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper said last week that the odds are “50-50” that he could call lawmakers back to the Capitol over the summer for a special legislative session that deals with hydraulic fracking. The purpose of the session would be for the Legislature to reach a compromise in terms of the amount of control that local communities have when it comes to regulating oil and gas operations, especially the polarizing business of fracking. The governor said he is hopeful that the oil and gas industry, environmental groups and other interested parties can come to a compromise on this heavily important issue — one that’s gained steam over the last couple of years as drilling has

moved closer to Front Range communities. But Hickenlooper also acknowledged that he is not holding his breath on an agreement, just yet. “We’re not close enough yet,” Hickenlooper told reporters on May 8, the day after the legislative session ended. “We’ve made tremendous progress, enough progress that it’s worth continuing to talk and try to work through that split.” However, the governor added that “there’s no point in calling a special session unless you get to that point (of agreement).” The debate over fracking — the mixing of water, sand and chemicals that are blasted into the surface to free up blocked oil and gas — is expected to reach a higher and more expensive level if the Legislature does not take action this summer. One or more initiatives to give local communities more power in determining how oil and gas companies operate could end up on the November ballot, which would result in a pricey advertising campaign that is expected to garner national attention. The governor acknowledged that there is a sense of urgency to find a compromise on these issues and that it would behoove all sides to come together, rather than face “draconian” ballot questions, where all bets are off.
“Ballot initiatives are thumbs up or thumbs down...,” Hickenlooper said. “They’re often pretty crude ways to deal with complex issues.” Legislative leaders had hoped to bring a local control bill this year and they held out hope as late as the last few weeks of the session that a consensus could be reached. However, it never materialized. “Anytime you have an issue that is as polarized as this issue has been in Colorado, you’re going to have a lot of interest on both ends of the spectrum — and a fairly large interest in the middle of that — and the goal is to bring all those people together,” said House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, D-Gunbarrel. “Sometimes it takes some time to get there and I know there is some frustration.” The issue is a complex one for lawmakers to deal with. On the one hand, there are the undeniable economic benefits that fracking provides, including high-paying job creation. Yet at the same time, more and more communities are expressing concern over possible health impacts that come with fracking. So far, five Colorado cities have put in place fracking bans or moratoriums.
Banking bill highlights flurry of pot activity Regulation of edibles also an 11th hour topic By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The House last week passed an 11th hour marijuana banking bill, capping an eventful chain of events on that and other pot-related legislation during the final days of the session. With the May 7 passage of House Bill 1398, Colorado is on its way to becoming the first state in the country to devise a financial system for marijuana businesses. The bill creates a banking co-op system for pot shop owners, which would operate similarly to credit unions. Supporters of the bill say the legislation is needed because it is a cash-only business that can open itself up to crime. “Entrepreneurs have been taking risks all over Colorado in building one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the state,” said Sen. David Balmer, RCentennial, a bill sponsor. Yet the success of the co-ops will depend on whether the Federal Reserve approves the plan. If it does not, the businesses will not be able to set up checking or credit card services. The U.S. Treasury Department has given banks the go-ahead to offer their services to pot business. However, that hasn’t been enough to persuade finan-
cial institutions from taking on businesses that deal with a federally-outlawed drug. The bill is a reaction to non-reaction on the part of Congress to deal with the issue of marijuana banking. Congressman Ed Perlmutter, a Democrat who represents Colorado’s 7th district, is cosponsoring a bill in the U.S. House that would allow banks to provide services to businesses that deal with pot in states where marijuana sales are legal. That bill isn’t getting much traction. “If the federal government was serious about tackling this problem, this bill would not be (alive),” Balmer said. The bill was nearly derailed on the last day of the session after the Senate tacked on a key amendment to the legislation the day before. The amendment allows hemp farmers to be included in the co-op. Those who grow hemp — a type of Cannabis plant not used as a drug, but to make products like clothing — told a Senate committee that they were also being turned away by banks. “As far as the federal government is concerned, industrial hemp is also marijuana,” said Sen. Greg Brophy, RWray, who sponsored the amendment. “If we don’t add this amendment, they will be the only business in Colorado that is effectively un-banked.” The amendment caused the bill to receive opposition from the banking lobby, which did not want to include hemp growers as part of the mix. Af-
ter much wrangling during a special conference committee, the House repassed the Senate’s version of the bill, which included the hemp amendment. Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper voiced his support of the bill. “We’re not sure it’s going to work, but we know that doing nothing is not going to work,” the governor said. “If you really want to design a system and really want to do as much as you could to get organized crime and gangsters involved, you require all cash. That’s a breeding ground for corruption.” The banking bill wasn’t the only piece of marijuana legislation that lawmakers took up during the last days of the session. One of those was a bill that requires pot-infused edibles — such as brownies or candies — to be specially marked. The motivation behind House Bill 1366 was to prevent the accidental consumption of marijuana on the part of children, who think that the food is simply a cookie or a piece of candy. “There needs to be a way to distinguish Swedish Fish that have marijuana infused with THC and Swedish Fish that doesn’t,” said Sen. Owen Hill, R-Colorado Springs. The bill sets up a task force that will examine options as to what the edible markings will look like, before the Department of Revenue enforces the law. The Senate passed the bill, as well as separate legislation that limits concentrate amounts in marijuana products.

Crews are to begin work around the end of this year on a $50 million expansion at Englewood’s Swedish Medical Center. The project will add two floors to the hospital’s south tower, creating an additional 65,000 square feet of space. About 28,000 square feet of existing space will be renovated. “We began looking at an expansion project about two years ago because we were facing space challenges that made it necessary to convert private rooms to twopatient rooms,” said Mary White, Swedish CEO and president. “We have successfully requested funding for the expansion and equipment upgrades to HealthONE, so we are developing the plans and design so we can move ahead with the project.” Swedish is operated by HealthONE Colorado, a joint venture between Tennessee-based Hospital Corporation of America, which is by far the largest forprofit hospital operator in the country, and the Colorado Health Foundation, a nonprofit grant provider that focuses on healthy living, access to health care and increasing the numbers of Coloradans with medical insurance. White said the project is being designed so there will be little or no disruption to hospital operations. While there will be a large crane on site and construction-associated noise, she said this project will have much less impact on the city and surrounding area than the last Swedish expansion project. Dan Miller, Swedish chief operating officer, said the 65,000 square feet will create space for 40 additional beds. “Plans are to start work in late 2014 or early 2015,” Miller said. “We expect to complete most of the outside work in
about a year and move to inside renovation work by late 2016 or early 2017.” The expansion means adding to the workforce, and Miller said the hospital expects to begin recruiting prospective employees in the next couple years to fill about 100 new jobs created by the project. He said one focus of the project is expansion of Swedish neuroscience services, a growing service that provides tests and treatment for stroke patients and patients suffering from severe migraines, epilepsy or other neurological issues. “The project will provide a new entrance and lobby for the neuroscience services and create additional space for them,” Miller said. “We also will be adding a 3T MRI which will provide advanced neurological imaging.” Swedish was the first Rocky Mountain region hospital to receive primary stroke center designation in 2004, and in 2013, Swedish was the first hospital in the region to receive designation as a comprehensive stroke center. Because Swedish is an acute inpatient rehabilitation facility, the project will improve the closed-circuit connection with 42 hospitals throughout Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas. “The connection allows our doctors to help with diagnosis of a case and, if necessary, the patient can be brought here for treatment,” Miller said. “Swedish is the hospital of choice for a steadily increasing number of patients. Our goal is to have facilities available to care for all patients now and in the future.” Swedish also is the location of the Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility. The facility works closely with HealthONE’s Spalding Rehabilitation Center, and shares the campus and collaborates with Craig Hospital, which is recognized as one of the major specialty facilities for patients with spinal cord and brain injuries. White said the hospital is always upgrading its facilities. She said the $10 million major renovation of the fifth-floor Women’s Services Department is about completed.

Denver Day of Rock will fill the 16th Street Mall on May 24 with five stages, hosting 25 bands in free concerts . A May 23 concert by the Wallflowers, fronted by Jakob Dylan, precedes the following day’s festival, while Green Day’s rock opera “American Idiot” plays at the Buell Theater (ticket required there, of course). Stages will be: Arapahoe Street/Skyline Park Stages I and II, Curtis Street, Champa Street and Welton Street, where concert hours are 2:30 to 9:30 p.m. Food trucks will be on hand when the
munchies hit. The Downtown Denver Arts Festival began some years ago at the Denver Performing Arts Complex, then moved to the Pavilions for a few years, returning to the DCPA last year in the sculpture garden area, where the “Dancers” keep watch and add motion. Admission is free for this festival that showcases local and a few invited national artists, which opens from 4 to 8 p.m. May 23 and continues 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on May 24 and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on May 25. The Downtown Arts Festival announces that Project C.U.R.E. (located in Arapahoe County) is its nonprofit partner for 2014. It makes medical supplies and volunteer teams available around the world for families in need.
Chamber honors nine students Each student’s achievements outlined at recognition luncheon By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The guests of honor along with their families, teachers, faculty members and school officials joined members of the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce at the Country Buffet Restaurant for the May 6 annual student recognition luncheon. Each year, the chamber sponsors the luncheon to recognize students individually for their citizenship and academic achievements as well as the contributions they have made to family, school and community. Members of the faculty recommended students to be honored at the luncheon. Often-used terms describing individual students included being a natural leader, being always ready to lend a helping hand, being respectful to faculty and classmates and always doing his or her best. School Superintendent Brian Ewert was the guest speaker and said he loves the Englewood community sense of pride. He also thanked the chamber of commerce for recognizing students and added he wasn’t sure these type of recognition luncheons were held in other communities. He then turned the tables a bit as he asked each honoree to stand up and say what he or she liked best about Englewood Schools. Each student spoke briefly. Almost every student said the best thing about Englewood Schools was the teachers and staff who really cared about every student. Nancy Byers, a chamber member, then introduced each student individually and read the recommendations. Each student received a copy of the recommendation and a certificate of recognition. The students recognized at
this year’s luncheon were Brianna Morgan, Cherrelyn Elementary School; Justine Fama, Englewood Middle School; Christian Ornelas, Clayton Elementary School; Breana Prante, Bishop Elementary School; David James Cuellar, St. Louis Catholic School; Alexis Sarazen, Englewood High School; Haley Eickmann, Englewood Leadership Academy; Mason Robertson, Charles Hay World School; and Santos Flores, Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School. Students recognized at the luncheon included Henry Campos, Cherrelyn Elementary, Brayan Reyes, Englewood Middle School, Acelynn Wittlif, Clayton Elementary, Marcela Baca, Bishop Elementary, Carly Sellaro, Englewood High School, Miguel Gonzales, Englewood Leadership Academy, Aalliyah Medina, Charles Hay World School and Ruth Branham, Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School Acelynn Wittlif, a sixth-grader, said she was completely surprised when she was notified she would be honored at the luncheon. “I was a little embarrassed when they told me I would receive the award. But I realized it was pretty special to be honored like this,” the Clayton Elementary School student said after the luncheon. “Today, I was a little nervous when they called me to the front of the room because I really don’t like being singled out in a crowd.” She said the award has inspired her to work harder to improve her grades so, when she goes to middle school next year, she can enter AVID, a program teaching skills to help individuals be a better student. Brayan Reyes said he too was surprised when he was notified of the award. “It was a surprise and it was special because I’ve never been honored for anything before,” the Englewood Middle School student said. “I am lucky because I have the best teacher in the world. Getting this award makes me want to work harder in class and at home.”

“Summer Cottage” by Rita Campbell.
Mike Landess gets ready to mosey along 7News anchor Mike Landess has decided that 50 years in broadcasting is enough for one lifetime. Sometime in late summer, Landess will hang up his earpiece, according to a story posted on the 7News website. “We’ve been talking about it for a couple of years and hitting that 50-year mark seemed like an appropriate time to do it,” Landess said. In 1977, Landess arrived in Denver and anchored along-side Ed Sardella at KUSA for the next 16 years. Landess went on to anchor at WXIA in Atlanta during the Summer Olympics and then to WTTG in Washington, D.C., where he covered the 9/11 attacks. He returned to Denver and 7News in 2002, where he has worked as primary anchor of evening newscasts since. Landess has been honored with more than two dozen Emmy Awards — including five for Best Anchor. He has earned five Edward R. Murrow Awards and contributed to the winning of a Peabody Award in 2013 for wildfire coverage. Landess was inducted into the Heartland Chapter of National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Silver Circle in 2008.

Approach to aging will be examined ‘Second Wind’ author coming to Denver By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The “Second Wind” tour, featuring creative medical thinker and geriatric practitioner Dr. Bill Thomas, will land in Denver on May 23 as part of a 25-city tour across the nation. It includes a half-day performance at the Den-
ver Center for the Performing Arts, plus two morning events. The afternoon event will include “five fastpaced theatrical monologues” by speakers such as Thomas and television personality Dr. Janet Taylor. Co-sponsored by AARP’s Life Reimagined, as well as Capital Impact Partners and Merrill Lynch, the program will also include a documentary film and live musical performance. Thomas, who is responsible for the growing “Greenhouse” movement in long-term care, aims to provide the tools for people to

progress beyond “adulthood” to what’s next — to understand the power of finding a “second wind” in life. He has just published a book, “Second Wind,” that suggests a number of ways society might look at this clearly defined next stage, which he calls “elderhood.” By way of background, there is a little recent history. Thomas defines life progress and divides people into groups, with defining beliefs, starting with baby care and Dr. Benjamin Spock’s flexibility versus Dr. John B. Watson’s rigid scheduling. As adults, there were Activists and Squares, and a blistering criticism enters here of what he calls “efficiency porn,” as defined by Stephen Covey’s best-selling “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and the early 20thcentury time and motion gurus. Thomas defines segments of the aging population: Denialists, Realists and Enthusiasts — none of them inclined move into Elderhood easily and gracefully. Perhaps this portion of Thomas’ book goes on a bit longer than necessary—lots of examples are lined out. But the second part really does express a different way of talking about life as an elder and its possibilities.
IF YOU GO “The Second Wind Tour” will be at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, 1101 13th St., Denver, from 1 to 5 p.m. on May 23. To obtain tickets — it’s described as “by invitation”— contact Beth Irtz at beth.irtz@focus-consultation.com. The book “Second Wind,” published in March, should be readily available in bookstores and libraries. The Hopi term “Koyaanisqatsi,” defined as a feeling of unbalance, is among other situations, resulting from the expansion of years included in the definition of “adulthood.” One needs to learn how to move on to what Thomas calls “elderhood,” which is described in most positive terms as “navigating the passage to a slower, deeper and more connected life.” “Aging in Community” is discussed as an alternative to “Aging in Place,” with discussion of the Village to Village Network, Senior Co-op Housing, The Greenhouse Project and Evermore. Thomas’ book gives us a number of words and concepts to use in thinking about what can come next. It should be useful in inspiring discussions in families and in groups of varying ages.

Freedom brings responsibility. This Independence Day, give our streams a break. Not only are personal fireworks a fire danger, but also, their waste poses a threat to our waterways when not disposed of properly. Summer days in Colorado often bring flashing rain and thunderstorms that quickly wash away waste on streets and parking lots, sending them straight to the nearest stream.

Silver Creek ends Pirates’ season

Englewood loses battle in first round of state 4A soccer playoffs By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Englewood’s bid to keep playing ended in the first round of the girls soccer state playoffs as Silver Creek bested the Pirates, 4-0. “No competitive athlete wants to lose but only one team ends a game happy and that wasn’t us today,” Pirates coach Chris Kavinsky said after the game. “The girls are feeling the pain of today’s game but they need to focus on the fact they had one of the best seasons in Englewood High School girls soccer history.” Englewood finished the season 13-1-1. The Pirates didn’t give up a goal in the first 14 games. “I couldn’t be prouder of these girls,” the coach said. “I am sure the girls were nervous and had butterflies since no member of our team has ever been in state playoff competition. I feel that contributed to the way we played early as Silver Creek took control of the tempo of play in the first 10 minutes of the game. We responded and the game became fun but we still didn’t get the win.” Kavinsky said there are only three seniors on the roster and the playoff experience will be valuable as, with all the players expected to return, he feels the Pirates will be back in the playoffs next season. “I am excited about next season,” the coach said. “Everyone bought into our season this year and I am sure that will be the
case next year. We’ll be a team with more experience and knowledge of what we need to do to be a state title contender.” The Pirates traveled to Longmont for the May 7 playoff game. Silver Creek used short, on-target passes to set up the attacks and defensively used a physical style of play and speed to cut off the passing lanes to make it hard for the Pirates to get good shots at the goal. The Raptors scored five minutes into the game on a breakaway by Jenna Schenmiel, who wound up scoring three of Silver Creek’s four goals. Englewood regrouped, pushed the attack and came close to tying the score when Sydney Gonzales’ direct kick hit the far post of the goal and bounded away. The Pirates again pushed the attack to open the second half. Raptor goalie Jamie Kirkland made a diving save to keep Elijah Daughtry’s low shot out of the net. Kadie Kavinsky drilled a hard shot at the goal that sailed wide of the outside of the net. Later, Gonzalez had another direct kick that appeared headed for the upper corner only to hit the crossbar and bounce over the goal. Silver Creek got a goal on a penalty kick and scored again on a shot that caromed off a defender into the net. They went on to win the game, 4-0. “Our girls played well and I feel the game was closer than the score indicates,” the coach said. “We had our chances but just weren’t able to find the net with our shots. Our defense also played a heck of a game. They turned aside attacks and Miranda (Holman) in goal was amazing. She made several outstanding saves and helped us keep the game close.”
Englewood’s Jena Korinek (10) pushed the ball up the field during a May 7 state Class 4A girls soccer playoff game against Silver Creek. The game was a physical battle, and Silver Creek came out on top, 4-0. Silver Creek took 25 shots on goal and Holman was credited with 11 saves. The disappointment, sometimes accompanied by tears, showed in the faces of the Pirate players as they left the field after the game. “I hate to see this season end. It has been a lot of fun,” senior Kadie Kavinsky said after the game. “We didn’t win today but, like the coach told us, we have a place in Englewood High School girls soccer history. We are the first Pirate team from the new building to go to state and the first team from the new building to win a league championship. The league championship banner will be on display in the field house and the plaque will be in the trophy case. Those things are pretty special.” After the game, freshman Jena Korinek
talked about being in the state playoffs. “Today was very special. It was exciting to be in the playoffs,” she said after the game. “Silver Creek is a very good team. It was a tough game. Their strength was their teamwork, their accurate passing and they got more confident as the game went on.” She said she learned from the playoffs that a winning formula is working together as a team and not letting the fact it is a playoff game or the fact the other team is one goal ahead get into your head. “I am proud of our team and I am proud of our season,” she said. “My favorite memory is being a member of this team. It was exciting and fun to play with this team. The seniors and juniors accepted new players like me and made us feel a part of the family that is Englewood High School girls soccer.”

Two Chamber staff members promoted

The Chamber is open for business and growing with new opportunities! “During our time of leadership transition, it has been wonderful to be able to promote two of our internal staff to new positions,” said Marcia McGilley, interim CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber. We are proud to announce the promotion of two staff members who have demonstrated leadership and a drive to help our members and businesses succeed. Colleen Schwake has been promoted to the post of Director of Business Development and Natalie Harden is now Assistant Director of the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center (SBDC) as well as continuing as the Center’s International
Business Consultant. “Colleen’s extensive background in marketing and strategic media planning makes her an excellent choice for filling this important role,” says McGilley. “I’m looking forward to working closely with Colleen to build upon our Chamber’s past successes, grow our Chamber membership, and continue to further develop our brand promise of Remarkable Relationships and a Thriving Community.” A native of Chicago, Colleen has worked with marketing industry giants such as J. Walter Thompson and Blair Television. She handled accounts for the Ford Dealers Association, Domino’s Pizza, Kraft, Kohl’s, Warner-Lambert, Kodak, Kellogg’s, 20th Century Fox, Sprint, DeBeers, Midas, and Motorola Cellular; negotiating marketing and creating strategic media plans for her clients. While at Blair Television, she represented major television networks and over 50 affiliate stations, along with over 100 radio stations across the US. “I am extremely excited for this opportunity and am dedicated to continuing the great work with our strong group of Business
Development Managers, ” states Colleen. Another Chicago native, Natalie Harden has been with the SBDC for two years and was recently named International Business Consultant for the Center. Her additional duties as Assistant Center Director will allow Executive Director Marcia McGilley to temporarily take on her additional responsibilities as Interim CEO of the Chamber. Natalie’s background includes work at the Chicago Board of Trade and Chicago Sun-Times News Group. Earning her Master’s degree from the University of Denver in Global Finance, Trade and Economic Integration gives her a world-view on our business climate. “I am thrilled by the opportunity to expand my responsibilities at the Center, and to provide continuity for our clients during this time of transition,” says Natalie. “Natalie has shown her ability to tackle increased responsibility on a number of occasions and I feel confident that our SBDC clients will be in good hands during this time,” commented McGilley.

Prep musicians receive grants Englewood High School performers have a jazzy summer schedule on tap By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com Ceremonies at the May 5 Englewood City Council meeting presented grants that made it possible for three Englewood High School musicians to attend special workshops. The grants were the latest recognition of the quality and ability of EHS musicians. The grants made it possible for Tyler Hastings who plays the alto saxophone and Jon Hunt who plays the drums to attend the Denver School of the Arts Jazz Camp and for Paige Langley to attend the Victor Wooten Music in Nature workshop in Nashville, Tenn. Jerrell Black, Parks and Recreation Director, told the council the proposal for the grant to the Cultural Arts Commission by Tammy Emmanuel, a commission member. The commission worked in collaboration with the Englewood Education Foundation to secure the $1,874 needed for the three sophomores to attend the workshops. He said most of the funds were donated by the foundation. The EHS music department has also been in the spotlight for other outstanding
performances. One example was the fact Phil Evans, instrumental music director, announced that four Englewood jazz band members got the opportunity to play with Grammynominated jazz saxophonist Mindi Abair. The four musicians, Sydney Hyde, Eric West, Indiana Metza and Kade MellonFerguson, joined Abair on the stage at the Soiled Dove on May 3. Abir is also president of the Los Angeles Chapter of the Recording Academy, the organization that puts on the Grammy presentation. On April 24-26, EHS vocalists performed at the University of Northern Colorado Jazz Festival. Garland Sadler, EHS music director, reported the Pirate singing groups, ETC and Expressions both received top ratings of their performances at the festival. Expressions received an excellent rating while ETC received a good rating. Englewood was one of only three high school groups performing in the concert hall. Most performances were by college groups. The University of Northern Colorado/ Greeley Jazz Festival is said to be the largest event of its kind in the nation. The event is attended by more than 250 college, high school and middle school musical groups that include big bands, combos and jazz vocal groups. Annually more than 7,500 participants take part in the festival, including many internationally recognized jazz artists.

Littleton Cruisers flexing their muscles Car club members share personal connections to their rides By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com When they talk about them, their eyes alternately gleam with pride and soften with affection. They carry photos in their wallets to show off to strangers, even have them printed on their Visas and calling cards. One woman keeps the whole baby book in the glove box to show people how much the love of her life has grown and changed over the years. Then, on the second Saturday of each month, they shine them up, take off their tops if the weather is nice, and parade them around downtown Littleton. Of course it’s not their kids — it’s their cars. “I’ve always had a love affair with trucks,” said Arlene Clawson. “I learned to drive in a 1950 truck.” Clawson, 79, and her dog Annie brought their 1950 Chevy pickup to Woodlawn Shopping Center to hang out with other car fanatics and get a little cruisin’ done before the rain set in on May 10. She got out the baby book, which chronicles her truck’s transformation from rust bucket to show stopper. She did much of the work herself, including finishing the white-oak panels in the bed. She bought the Chevy, nicknamed “Girlfriend,” in 1991 for $1,200. Now? “There’s not enough money in the world to buy this truck,” she laughs. Clawson and other members of the Chassis Lassies often join forces with the Littleton Cruisers for the second-Saturday rides. Founder Harold Schultes said he wanted an alternative to the Golden Super Cruise, which is elbow-to-elbow people and too far from home. Schultes and his buddies call it “group therapy.” “We hang out with these guys so much, we can finish each other’s lies,” jokes David
Dan Berry’s 1938 Chevy Deuce Coupe is purple velvet with a lime twist. Photo by Jennifer Smith Smith. Schultes owns a ‘65 Chevy Malibu SS, which he restored to its original and distinctive color, Evening Orchid. When he was hotrod shopping in 1986, he had it narrowed down to that one, which cost him $2,900, and a GTO. “Now I kick myself that I didn’t borrow the money and buy them both,” he said; the Malibu alone is insured for $30,000. Dave Berry also hit a home run with his 1938 Chevy business coupe, which originally came equipped with a mattress in the trunk for traveling salesmen. “It was literally a hulk in the woods,” said Berry, but he managed to get it restored, all by himself in his garage, in just nine months. Of course, his wife had relegated him to a cot in there with the car by the time he was done — he’d replaced the mattress with subwoofers and such.
Berry, a retired minister, chose “Agape38” as his license plate. Agape refers to God’s unconditional love, he explains. “I loved the car just the way it was in the woods, and God loved me as a sinner,” he said. “But now I’m born again, I’m restored, just like the car.” Joe Unrein, too, feels a personal connection to his car, though for a more earthly reason. A paramedic who worked for his father’s ambulance company, he snagged a 1959 Cadillac ambulance that started out a hearse. “Sometimes back in the day, they did double duty,” he said. “The funeral homes sometimes had the only ambulance for miles.” Like a lot of guys, John Kurowski’s love affair with his car began when he was a teenager. He had a 1950 Mercury hotrod that he gave to his brother when he joined the Army in 1962. But his brother followed him into the military, and nobody is sure what happened
to it after that. “I missed it, and I always thought about getting another ‘50,” he said. “And I thought this one would be a fun car to drive.” Indeed. While his first one was souped up, it couldn’t approach the level of bling his new one has. Marilyn Monroe graces the expansive trunk in all of her swept-up glory, while Elvis and James Dean flank her on the rear wheel wells. Although most of the Littleton Cruisers are American muscle cars, Schultes stresses that all makes and models are welcome, and from anywhere in the metro area. The club has been up and running since 2009, but moved the starting line from Broadway Bowl, Broadway and Powers Avenue, to Woodlawn, Littleton Boulevard and Windermere Street, just last year. “lIt’s easier to cruise Littleton Boulevard from here,” he said.
