Ramp opens door to better life
The majority of individuals who completed the 2014 Englewood Citizen Survey stated Englewood is a good place to live. “Seventy-six percent of those who completed the survey rated the overall quality of life in Englewood as excellent or good,” Tom Miller said. “Quality of life elements include rating safety, mobility, natural environment, built environment, economy, recreation and wellness, education and entertainment and community engagement. The results rated all the elements higher than the national average.” Miller, president of National Research Center, made the comments during the council’s Aug. 25 study session, as he summarized the results of the survey his company conducted. It is the same firm than administered the citizen survey for Englewood in 2007 and again in 2009. Miller added that economics and safety were identified as priorities for the Englewood community. The discussion focused on the summary of the 2014 Englewood Citizen Survey continues on Page 12

Overall school funding grows Blitz Build project helps disabled Englewood woman By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The whine of drills and the hum of conversations of volunteers completing a handicap ramp sounded like the music of greater movement mobility to Maribelle Brinkoff’s ears. “I tried out the handicapped ramp they are building yesterday and I was able, without anyone’s help, to walk to the end of the driveway,” the Englewood resident said. “It is the first time getting out of the house wasn’t a major (ordeal) with a lot of help from my daughter.” The ramp construction was one of this year’s Home Builders Foundation Blitz Build projects. Spokesperson Bridgid Dunlap said the foundation organizes volunteer projects to help provide home accessibility for people with disabilities who can’t afford to have the work done. “Last year we did 61 projects and we have done 43 so far this year,” she said. “Each year, we have a blitz building weekend when we do a lot of projects at one time. Last year, the blitz completed 13 projects, and this year the blitz is doing 16 projects.” The Centennial-based foundation organizes the projects. Last year, 125 volunteers worked on blitz projects. This year, 175 volunteers signed up for the projects. Ramp continues on Page 12

Two measures affect range of services, facilities By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com As school starts, lawmakers are touting an education law passed this year that many believe will help students achieve greater success. Earlier this year, the Legislature passed a pair of school funding measures that Gov. John Hickenlooper later signed into law to increase spending within the state’s school finance system by $500 million. The money provides more funding for several areas of K-12 education, including school construction, preschool, kindergarten and English language learner programs. The measures increase per-pupil spending by about 5 percent and allow schools across the state to open up 5,000 more seats for preschool and fullday kindergarten. An additional $3 million will fund financial transparency efforts that are aimed at allowing taxpayers to see how the new money is being reported and spent. “It’s important to make sure we know where the money is going to these schools, and not seeing it go into a black hole somewhere,” said Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch. Funding continues on Page 12

The story of rest is the rest of the story It’s 7:20 p.m. and Sean is bent over physics homework, graphs that show position and velocity in relation to time. Motion maps. The work isn’t particularly difficult for him. The challenge is staying focused. “The more I think,” he says, “the more irritated I feel.” Sean is my 17-year-old son. He’s a high school senior and a good student. But he’s tired. If you ask him what he looks forward to on weekends, he’ll give you the same answer many teens do: Sleeping. No wonder. Instead of the eight-and-a-half to nine-and-a-half hours of sleep research has found teens need to perform at their best, Sean averages six to seven each night. Even though he sometimes slips into bed at 9:30 or 10, he usually can’t fall asleep until 11, and he’s at school most mornings by 5:45 for weight sessions with his baseball team. Classes begin at 7:35. We are a tired country. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has called insufficient sleep a public health epidemic, noting in a 2009 study almost 38 percent of adults had unintentionally fallen asleep during the day at least once in the preceding month and nearly 5 percent had fallen asleep while driving at least once during the same time period. Scary. But not surprising. Like the one-third of adults in the study, I, too, consistently sleep less than the recommended seven hours a day and often find myself longing for just a few minutes in which to rest my eyes. The real calamity, though, is the sleep deprivation of our teenage children, who as a generation are losing the opportunity to achieve their highest potential, simply because they don’t have the few more hours needed to recharge. “Sleep is absolutely vital, not just from a physical standpoint, but from a
mental, emotional and cognitive standpoint,” says Steve Portenga, a performance psychologist who teaches at the University of Denver and helps athletes, surgeons and others in high-risk occupations perform consistently at their highest levels. A key element to that formula is sleep. Sean would agree. On days when he’s tired, “it’s hard to focus. I just catch myself spacing,” he says. But when he feels rested, “it’s easier to participate in class — you feel more in it. It’s easier to comprehend and retain information … I’m just more aware, in general.” Portenga talks about two studies that directly link sleep to performance. In the first, two groups of people were given 12 hours to solve a difficult problem. One group received the problem in the morning, so didn’t sleep before resolving it that evening. The other group received it in the evening, so had the opportunity to sleep before coming up with an answer. “Both had the same amount of time to solve it …” Portenga said, “but the ones who had a chance to sleep performed significantly better.” In the second study, electrodes were connected to the brains of mice as they figured out a way through a maze. As the mice slept, researchers noted the same series of connections firing as had occurred when they navigated the maze. The mice were replaying their route; the brain was moving information from
short-term to long-term memory, which makes retrieving information easier down the road. The study showed, Portenga says, that “for consolidating learning, sleep is a really vital process.” With that knowledge in mind, the American Academy of Pediatrics, saying the average American teen is “chronically sleep deprived and pathologically sleepy,” last week declared middle- and high-schoolers should begin their day at 8:30 a.m. at the earliest — essentially an hour later than most do now. Such a change would align with teens’ natural sleep cycles, which make it difficult for them — like Sean — to fall asleep before 11 p.m. And it would be key to helping “adolescents get the sleep they need to grow and learn.” According to a National Sleep Foundation poll, 87 percent of high school students and 59 percent of sixththrough eighth-graders were sleeping less than the recommended eight-anda-half to nine-and-a-half hours a night. Reasons range from sports, after-school activities, jobs and homework to overactive technology use. The academy’s policy statement noted lack of sleep in teens not only translates to a decrease in learning and poorer grades, but also to more physical and mental health problems and an increased risk of car accidents. Scary. But not surprising. Senior Craig Breuker can attest to the positive impact of a later starting time. His first class this semester starts with second period, which means he begins classes at 8:30. The difference from previous years is stark. “When I wake up, I just feel refreshed,” he says. “When I used to wake up at 6:30, I would always feel down and groggy. I haven’t had a morning where I feel like I want to go back to bed. When I get up, I’m ready for the day to start.” He’s more focused. He has more energy later in the day. His eyes don’t get
heavy. An A and B student, Craig practices soccer after school until 5:15, then mows lawns until dusk, then finally heads home to do homework. If there’s time, he’ll watch some TV until turning off the lights at about 10:30. Going to bed, he says, “is like a restart.” But considering only 15 percent of our country’s high schools begin the day at 8:30 or later, Craig’s sense of rested well-being belongs to a minority of teens. There is a long way to go. School district schedules are built around a complexity of ingredients, from bus schedules to athletics to extracurricular activities, and a realignment of all those pieces would need buy-in from not only school officials, but also from parents and teens, themselves. Until the paradigm shifts, until we are willing to take on the challenge — if we ever are — days for many teens will begin somewhat like this: 5 a.m. The first alarm goes off. Music blares. Sean reaches over and turns it off. 5:10 a.m. Music blares again. Unwilling to leave the warmth of his bed, Sean reaches over and sets a third alarm for 10 minutes later. 5:20 a.m. More music. Five more minutes tick by and his feet hit the floor. He throws on a T-shirt, some shorts, shoes. Brushes his teeth. Washes his face. He grabs a water bottle and heads out the door. It is still dark, the notion of sleep already forgotten. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

Volunteers paint Englewood home County employees join in on annual activity By Tom Munds
tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com A normally quiet yard on South Fox Street became a beehive of activity Aug. 23 as Arapahoe County volunteers spent the day painting and caulking the home of Englewood resident Betty Couts. “I received a true blessing, as these folks made my horrible-looking house look great,” Couts said by phone. “I was surprised when they called me and told me they would do this, because I wasn’t sure I would qualify. Then I was surprised when so many people showed up and worked so hard to make my home look so nice.” The Englewood resident has lived in the home for more than 40 years. Her husband passed away several years ago. She said while she has done her best to keep up the outside of her home, projects like the painting and caulking were too expensive, since she lives on a small fixed income and has taken in extended family. The project was part of Brothers Redevelopment’s annual Paint-A-Thon. Allison Lockwood, Brothers communication manager, said Arapahoe County recruited volunteers from among county employees for the first time this year. Carrie Olinger, county volunteer coordinator, organized a team from a number of departments, including County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe. “It was the first time we decided to do a project as a group. I talked to people and got a great response,” she said. “It was even better when we went to the job site because many of our employees were joined by family members and children. We had about 20 people working on the project.” Olinger said everyone was excited and worked hard. “I met Betty Couts. She was so sweet and she kept telling us how much she appreciated what we were doing for her,” she said. “I pitched in and it was really a cool project and it was fun. I felt it was rewarding to volunteer for this project, to see the difference
About 20 Arapahoe County employees and officials got together Aug. 23 to paint and caulk an Englewood woman’s home as part of this year’s Brothers Redevelopment Paint-AThon. Courtesy photos the group made and to know we did a project that helped a very sweet lady.” Brothers Redevelopment annually organizes the paint-a-thon. So far this year, more than 100 homes have been painted during the event. Since the program began in 1978, more than 6,800 homes have been caulked, sealed and painted for senior homeowners. The average client is 74 with a monthly income of $1,400. The volunteers and sponsors are critical ingredients to the paint-a-thon’s success. Each year, Brothers also seeks the support of individual donors and corporate sponsors to provide money for supplies as well as volunteers to do the work.
Do you work all day? Did your kids go back to school leaving your dog alone and bored all day? Perhaps doggy daycare is for you! Carrie Olinger paints around the window of an Englewood home. Olinger, who served as the Arapahoe County volunteer coordinator for the project, recruited about 20 county employees and officials to paint and caulk the home that was one of the Brothers Redevelopment Paint-A-Thon projects.
Located in the Bear Creek shopping center at 3224 S. Wadsworth Blvd, the facility is nearly 4,000 sq ft inside plus a large fenced backyard.

Make a Lasting Impact in the Lives of Many Be a Hospice Volunteer H C R . P : With no scheduled commercial airline service, Centennial Airport’s primary source of traffic is made up of corporate charter and private business jet service. The airport, located just minutes down the road from the BMW Championship at the Cherry Hills Country Club, expects to see an additional 40 to 50 jets on the ramp during the professional golf tournament, which concludes on Sept. 7. Photo by Deborah Grigsby/Centennial Airport
Centennial Airport gets tourney traffic Staff report Big events in the Denver metro area bring a rise in activity to Centennial Airport, and this week’s BMW Championship is no different. One of the most important professional golf tournaments of the year is being played at the Cherry Hills Country Club, not far down the road from the third-busiest general aviation airport in the nation. A mix of superstar golfers, sponsors, spectators and media were expected to touch down for the Sept. 4-7 competition. The BMW Championship is the secondto-last leg of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup
playoffs. Historically, Centennial Airport has been the “airport of choice” for major events, including the 2008 Democratic National Convention and Denver Broncos playoff games, an airport spokeswoman said. Private jet travel offers greater convenience and a higher level of amenities, making Centennial a draw, the spokeswoman said. So who are some of the stars who flew into the airport for the BMW this week? Well, confidentiality is another of the airport’s perks.

Apartments proposed for General Iron site Developer seeks tax credits to build affordable units By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Scott Yates shared his vision of transforming a portion of the long-empty General Iron property near West Bates Avenue and South Galapago Street into an affordable housing complex. Yates and property owner Bryant Winslow explained their vision to the Englewood City Council at the Aug. 25 study session. “Scott (Yates) came to me with the proposal to build 70 affordable housing units provided we could be granted low-income housing tax credits from the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority,” Winslow said. “The tax credits are awarded twice a year. This cycle, we are one of 18 projects seeking the tax credits, annually awarding a tax credits to 11 to 13 projects. The Broadway Lofts project at Acoma Street is also seeking the tax credits in this award cycle.” The men made the presentation as they asked the city council to revise the letter to CHFA giving equal priority to both projects. After the presentation and discussion, the council agreed to the re-
quest. Yates said the term “affordable housing” is defined by the federal government as housing with rents no more than 30 percent of the income of individuals or families making 80 percent of the area median income or less. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development establishes area median income for specific geographical area. The AMI for the Denver area for a family of four is $76,600. A family making 80 percent of AMI in the Denver area would have an annual income of $61,350. Yates said his vision for the complex would have 35 apartments available for individuals or families making 60 percent of AMI, 18 for those making 50 percent of AMI and 40 for those making 40 percent of AMI. HUD classifies as very low income those making 50 percent of AMI. For a family of four, 50 percent of AMI in the Denver area is $38,350. The developer said, if the tax credits are approved, he will build a quality complex that will include amenities and Class A buildings on two acres of the 16acre site. “There is a need for affordable housing in Englewood,” he said. “We expect to serve a two-mile radius. The statistics show there are about 7,000 individuals or families who make 60 percent of AMI or less, and in Englewood there are only 262
This rendering portrays what a proposed affordable housing complex, to be located on two acres of the General Iron site, could look like. Plans call for the complex to have 70 apartments and, provided the developer is awarded low income housing tax credits, all of them will be for individuals or families with incomes that are 60 percent or less of the area median income. Courtesy art affordable housing units available, so we definitely would be serving a need.” Councilmember Steve Yates asked about rental rates proposed. The developer said there will only be one and two bedroom units. Plans are to
rent a one-bedroom unit for $750, which includes utilities, while the monthly rental for a two-bedroom unit with utilities included is proposed at $900 a month. He said it would require an investment of about $13.5 million.
Pooches ready to plunge into pirate pools Freedom Service Dogs fundraiser taking place for seventh time on Sept. 6 By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Four-legged swimmers and splashers replace two-legged swimmers and splashers for the annual Doggie Plunge at Pirates Cove Family Aquatic Park in Englewood on Sept. 6. This is the seventh year Freedom
Service Dogs has held the event to raise money for the organization while providing a chance for dogs to swim and splash in the Pirates Cove pools. The splash will be going on from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. “Owners can sign up to spend up to two hours with their dog at the plunge,” said Karen Morrow, FSD marketing and events director. “The tickets are $15 and allow two people and one dog into the event. The dogs can swim and splash around but people are not allowed to go swimming with their pet.”
2 WEEKS FOR $20.00
She said people can register online at www.freedomservicedogs/events or they can buy tickets at the door. Morrow said there will be food trucks at the plunge selling people food as well as a food truck selling doggie treats. There are also doggie life vests that can be used at no cost. Pirates Cove Family Aquatic Park is located at 1225 W. Belleview Ave. Owners brought about 1,000 dogs to the event last year.
There will also a place to sign up as a volunteer with Freedom Service Dogs, which has its headquarters at 2000 W. Union Ave., Englewood. The organization was established in 1987 to create dogs to provide assistance to people with handicaps. Freedom Service Dogs rescues dogs from shelters with the goal of training each animal to perform services for a handicapped individual such as turning on lights, opening doors and even helping do the laundry.

Proper peer pressure promotes performance Sometimes just the words “peer pressure” spark anxious, judgmental, and negative feelings. Especially when we attach verbs such as “succumbing to” or “giving in to” peer pressure. And many times we direct our guidance of avoiding peer pressure to the young adults, teenagers and children in our lives. No doubt there are more temptations and access to trouble now than in any previous generation. So our advice and steering to avoid peer pressure has never been more valuable, as long as it doesn’t fall on deaf ears or comes across as, “Well when I was your age …,” because that never goes well. Or if it sounds overplayed like, “If all of your friends jumped off of the top of the mountain would you follow too?” Yikes! Avoiding peer pressure can be turned from a negative to a positive as we encourage those that look up to us with confidence boosters and nurturing self-esteem building words and actions. You know how it goes, when we tell or ask someone not to do something, especially our youth, what do they do? Exactly what we told them or asked them not to do. Having open dialogues can be revealing about previous errors in judgment or examples where peers may have misled us, or perhaps we were the peer misleading others. As my friend Bert reminded me last week, sometimes when we think we are following, we could actually also be in a position of leading all of those who are following us too. Another awesome and positive side of peer pressure is playing itself out right now
before our very eyes, ears, and through our contributions. I am talking about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. If you haven’t seen this yet or heard of it, the challenge has gone absolutely viral. People have been challenged to fill a bucket with water and ice and then dump the bucket over their head or have a family member or friend participate and tip the ice-filled bucket onto their head. Then each participant that has accepted the challenge gets to challenge others in their circle of friends, associates, or family to take the same challenge. Now if they don’t take the challenge and want to avoid the fleeting moment of freezing water spilling over their head and body, they can elect to make a donation to ALS. And in some cases I know people that have done both, accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and also made a nice financial contribution to ALS. And it’s not just ALS, just look at all the fundraisers for breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, SMA, diabetes, and so many others and include events like 5K runs, walks, auctions, golf tournaments where we sign
up to sponsor runners, walkers, golfers, and place our names on those silent auction sheets, all for the greater good. And you know how it goes, sometimes we are on the fence of whether or not we will participate or sponsor someone, and then one of our friends, one of our peers does it and before we know it we have jumped in as well. And that is just incredible. Peer pressure in business is also extremely positive. There is nothing better than some healthy and friendly competition. As a salesman I was always interested in how well my peers were doing. I used their productivity as a motivator to try and beat them the next day, week, or month. And it went both ways, my lifelong friend and fellow salesman would always contact me just to see what I sold that day so we could compete the following day. So the next time we feel like cringing when we hear the words “peer pressure,” just remember it can absolutely be leveraged as a positive influence in our lives and not always a negative. How about you? Have you had a positive experience with peer pressure? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we focus on the positive peer pressure in our lives it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.
Construction zone is no peaceful lane They are working on Quebec Street. I have some thoughts. I would aggressively avoid the area if you have had more than one cup of coffee. If you have spent a couple of hours at Lodo’s and go south on Quebec, prepare yourself for community service. In all my born days — as my grandmother used to say — I have never seen such a convolution of cones, barrels and arrows on a roadway. You will start on the right and then you will be expected to move to the left, back to the right. Lanes disappear. The cones get closer and closer together. Do you know who M.C. Escher is? He would have loved all of this. Take a look at “Rhythm of Illusion.” That’s exactly what Quebec is right now. This figures: The name “Quebec” comes from an Algonquin word meaning “where the river narrows.” I didn’t know that construction was going on and I made the mistake of trying to get to King Soopers at midnight simply to
pick up a noodle salad. I still don’t know how I managed to get anywhere near the store. I wanted to make a left and couldn’t. There was a guy using a jackhammer and right next to him was a worker who shouted something at me. I guess he thought I have some kind of metaphysical ability to hear something being said next to a jackhammer. And Smitty was barking his brains out. I eventually figured out that no left turn could be made, so I took a right on Park Meadows Drive and went through parts of
Lone Tree that I didn’t know existed. The good news is that I can avoid Quebec. Some of you can’t. It must be a nightmare on the way to work. We experience virtual Quebecs throughout our lives. I had to take one last nonmajor class in order to graduate on time. Outside of my major I was a zombie in Chuck Taylors. I was lost, blocked and confounded. A good friend of mine went through a divorce and her updates sounded exactly like those cones, barrels and arrows — nothing but wickets and anxiety, mixed in with residual anger and frustration. In a month or two the cones will be gone and it might be hard to remember any of this. And that’s another thing that happens to us all of the time. Of course, some of the frustrations we experience in life do not go away, and the cones remain. A relationship goes bad and never improves. I am not exactly sure what they are doMarshall continues on Page 9

The Centennial ViewHouse, once the site of the Trail Dust, is a two-level restaurant with a large groundlevel patio., featuring numerous water features.
ViewHouse opens in Centennial Massive venue offers more than your typical restaurant By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com The ViewHouse opened Aug. 29 in Centennial, leading into the public opening with an Aug. 28 sneak peek event that drew 800 people for an evening of complimentary drinks and food. The site was home for 30 years to the Trail Dust Steak House, which closed in 2009. Rhythms bar opened there in 2010, but closed after one year. The building was vacant until the ViewHouse’s owners bought
it in 2013. No sign remains of the iconic red, barnlike structure that was the Trail Dust, though the ViewHouse used the rear portion of the original structure as part of its extensive remodel. The building that occupies the site now is sleek, with a dark roof and large glass panels that take advantage of the mountain vistas. The massive venue, which fronts Interstate 25 on Clinton Road, includes a large, groundlevel bar with a 200-inch television — reportedly the largest in a Colorado restaurant or bar. A separate dining area on the same level that is devoid of televisions is designed to provide a quieter atmosphere. Two private dining rooms are also available. The outdoor patio has an
8,000-square-foot courtyard with a net for volleyball or badminton and cornhole boards, cabana-style seating surrounding several water features, a stage and another bar. The restaurant’s second level includes a third large bar area and outdoor deck with mountain views. The Centennial ViewHouse plans to host weekly bands on its outdoor stage. It is the restaurant’s second location; the first is in downtown Denver. In contrast to the downtown site, the Centennial menu will include more upscale dining options. The widely varied menu includes flatbreads, pizza, salmon, ribeye, pork chops, bass, tacos, burgers, an ex-

$28 for a 14-ounce ribeye. The ViewHouse is at 7101 S. Clinton Street.
Hazardous waste roundup scheduled By Tom Munds
tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Since I can’t put it in the trash, what can I do with stuff like an old car battery and an old can of paint thinner? For Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan residents, the answer to that question is the annual Household Hazardous Waste Roundup, which will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 14 and during the same hours on Sept. 22 at the Englewood ServiCenter, 2800 S. Platte River Drive. This marks the 22nd year the event has been sponsored by the Keep Englewood Beautiful Commission. Other sponsors this year include the cities of Littleton and Sheridan. Items that can be dropped off at the roundup include antifreeze, automobile batteries, flammable liquids like gasoline and paint thinner, lawn and garden chemicals, motor oil, oil-based paint and propane tanks. Items that use mercury, such as thermometers and barometers, will also be accepted. There is a limit of 10 gallons of material per vehicle, and there is a cost of $20 to drop off items.

ing on Quebec, but I am guessing they are improving it. Some relationships go from bad to worse, and no one comes out in hard hats to make them better. I have burned more bridges than I can count, and most of them are irreparable. I think to myself that they are better off without me, and I am better off without them. Friendships take work — and time. I am down to less than a handful, and I am accomplishing more than I ever have be-
This year, residents can also drop off computers, fax machines, inkjet and toner cartridges, desktop copiers and cell phones at no charge. The roundup also will accept computer monitors and television sets but there is a charge of $15 per monitor and a $25 co-payment per television set. The event will only accept materials from Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan residents, so individuals who drop off materials must present proof that they live in one of the three cities. Staff won’t accept materials from residents of other communities or from commercial firms. While the roundup will accept antifreeze and motor oil, organizers remind residents it isn’t necessary to save those until the roundup, because a number of Englewood and Littleton businesses accept the items free of charge all year so the materials can be recycled. A list of those businesses is given to those who visit the roundup. Latex paint will no longer be accepted. Over the history of the roundup, hundreds of gallons of latex paint have been collected, but it is no longer considered a hazardous material and can be disposed of by removing the lid to dry it out, then putting it in the trash.
fore. That’s what I tell myself: I am getting more done, but it’s meant that I have disconnected myself more and more from the human race. There won’t be many “great guy” quotes in my obituary. There is roadway construction all over the place, in every town (have you ever been to Detroit?). And, sure, it’s a pain in the neck. But. I thought about Amy Van Dyken.

Driver charged in fatal crash Judge rejects bid to lower bond By Tom Munds
tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Austin Michael Cale, the 25-year-old driver of a pickup truck involved in an Aug. 22 fatal accident in Englewood, was in 18th Judicial District Court on Aug. 28, where he was advised of the charges against him, had a bond reduction request denied and was ordered to be in court Oct. 3 for pretrial hearing. Cale has been in custody since his arrest at the scene of the accident just south of Belleview at Broadway and West Rafferty Garden Avenue. On Aug. 28, he sat in the jury box with other defendants. He wore a blue jail jumpsuit, was handcuffed and there were shackles on his feet that were attached to a chain around his waist. When his case was
called, he joined the public defender at the lectern. Angela Banducci of the public defender’s office waived the formal reading of the charges, but records show the charges filed against Cale are: vehicular homicideDUI, a class 3 felony; vehicular homicidereckless driving, a class 4 felony; two charges of vehicular assault-DUI, class 4 felonies; two charges of vehicular assault-reckless driving, class 5 felonies; driving under the influence, a misdemeanor; and reckless driving, a class 2 Cale misdemeanor traffic offense. Banducci then requested reduction of the $50,000 bond. Deputy District Attorney Chris Wilcox opposed bail reduction and then asked the court hear from the victim’s daughter, Andrea Sorrells.
“My father was killed in this accident,” the witness said. “My father was a good man. He was a retired solicitor for the government and he was an Army veteran. I would like the bond to be the maximum allowed.” Banducci then told the court her client is young, that he has no criminal history and no prior DUI charges. She also said the result of the portable breath test administered on Aug. 22 was .041 percent, which is below the threshold for a charge of driving while ability impaired. “The request is the court reduce the amount of bond Mr. Cale is required to post,” she said. “If bond is posted, Mr. Cale will live with his father and there are methods to insure his sobriety.” Wilcox responded that the breath test was administered about two and half hours after the accident, and wasn’t a measure of intoxication at the time of the accident. The prosecutor also said Cale’s records
show he failed to appear in court on two traffic charges in the past. He opposed lowering the bond. Magistrate Frank Mosschetti said he reviewed the records and two witnesses said Cale was driving about 70 mph in a 35mph zone. He noted Cale failed to appear in court on two occasions in the past and the bond of $50,000 remains in place and is consistent with the charges against the defendant. Cale’s attorney then told the court the defendant’s father said he would post the bond. The magistrate then noted a mandatory protection order is in place with the additional restrictions that Cale not drive, not commit any crime and not consume any alcohol, marijuana or controlled substances. Moschetti then set an Oct. 3 court date for the appearance of counsel and the pretrial hearing.
Carjacking suspect deemed competent for trial Staff report Ryan Cole Stone was deemed competent to stand trial during an Aug. 28 status conference held at the Douglas County Justice Center in Castle Rock. Stone is charged in connection with a
multi-county, high-speed March 12 chase that ended at about 8:15 a.m. when Stone allegedly crashed a stolen silver sedan at Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street. The morning rush-hour chase started in Longmont after, police say, Stone stole an SUV with a 4-year-old boy in it, then car-
jacked two other vehicles before crashing in Douglas County. During the chase, Stone struck and injured a Colorado State Patrol trooper. Stone, who is in custody, appeared with council. Two competency evaluations were pre-
Sierra Trading Post Opens First Colorado Location Move over REI, there’s a new game in town. Approximately 600 people attended the grand opening and ribbon cutting held by Sierra Trading Post, an outlet store specializing in outdoor gear, on Thursday, August 28. The event marked the Wyoming-based company’s first entry into the Colorado market; a Fort Collins location is expected to open shortly.

We want shopping with us in the store to be as convenient as shopping with us online, and we’re leveraging some of the newest technology to make that happen for our South Denver customers.” Mayor of Greenwood Village Ron Rakowsky also shared a welcome on behalf of the city. The ribbon cutting was followed by a $5,000 donation presentation by Sierra Trading Post to the Thorne Nature Experience, whose mission is to build Earth stewardship by connecting youth to nature through joyful, hands-on, placebased environmental education experiences. The event’s attendees included several City of Greenwood Village councilmembers, as well as Sierra Trading Post executive staff. Following the ribbon cutting, eager shoppers filed into the outlet to capitalize on overstock, closeout, and minimally blemished name brand merchandise.

HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Littleton Ice Bucket Challenge HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Littleton challenged other local healthcare organizations and accepted the challenge from sister hospital HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Colorado Springs to take the “Ice Bucket Challenge” to raise money and awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. More than 100 HealthSouth Littleton staff members, patients and supporters gathered on the front lawn of the hospital, located at 1001 W. Mineral Ave., on Friday, Aug. 22 at 11:00 a.m. and doused themselves with ice cold water. A barbecue lunch was provided to those who made a donation to the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the ALS Association which supports local individuals who have ALS through
support, research and advocacy. Representation from the organization was present at the event. “The Ice Bucket Challenge is a great way to highlight the care that is provided to those with neurological conditions, including ALS, at our hospital and in the community,” says David Shefte, CEO of HealthSouth Littleton. “We hope our peers in the healthcare field will join us in raising awareness and have a little fun at the same time.” ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. It causes muscle weakness especially in the arms and legs and affects one’s ability to speak, swallow and breathe. HealthSouth Littleton provides customized
therapy plans for those battling ALS which may include physical, occupational and speech therapies. HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Littleton HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Littleton is a 40-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital that offers comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation services. Serving patients throughout the Denver metro area, the hospital is located at 1001 W. Mineral Ave. in Littleton and on the Web at www.healthsouthlittleton.com. About HealthSouth HealthSouth is the nation’s largest owner and operator of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in terms of patients treated and
sented to the court - one from the defense’s doctor and one from the state. The court accepted the recommendation of both, finding Stone competent to proceed. The defense did not object. A preliminary hearing for Stone is set for 2 p.m. Oct. 2 at the justice center.

Mascot bill would defer to Indian panels Proposal set for public meeting on Sept. 10 By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The debate over the use of American Indian mascots will come to the state Capitol next year. State Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, is expected to carry a bill that could result in schools losing their mascots — or even losing state funding. And the effort is sure to result in a vibrant public meeting on Salazar’s bill, which is scheduled for Sept. 10. Salazar said his bill would require schools that receive state funding and that wish to have Indian-themed mascots to first get the OK from representatives of American Indian communities.

Salazar said the Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs could be in charge of making those decisions, or perhaps another commission would be created by lawmakers, who return to the Capitol in January. If schools don’t go before an Indian commission, Salazar said his legislation would still allow the schools to continue to use their mascots — but at a steep price. “If they don’t want to reach out, they can use the mascot, but they don’t get state funding,” he said. “They are able to exercise their First Amendment rights, but as a state we don’t have to participate in their discriminatory conduct.” There is an ongoing national debate over the use of Indianthemed mascots, one that has centered on the NFL’s Washington Redskins. Opponents of Washington’s mascot want it done away with because they feel it is a derogatory term that is akin to any other racial slur. The debate has led some NFL announcers and news organizations to move away from using the term

Dunlap said the foundation receives requests from people with handicaps or their families. About half the requests are for handicap ramps. Other projects include inside modifications to provide better accessibility. She said as long as individuals meet the requirements, their names are added to the list. The year, Brinkoff was notified that the request for a handicap ramp on her Englewood home had been approved. “I had about given up when they called and told me they would build the ramp,” she said. “It was a wonderful surprise. I am so happy and it was wonderful to be able to use the ramp to get out of my house without needing a lot of help.” Volunteers from Aspen Builders took out the porch railing and built the ramp on Aug. 22. Volunteers from Orepec Building Products came in on Aug. 23 to complete the ramp project and put up the safety railing. “We have 10 people here today and we are having a good time working on this project,” Jennifer Eye, Orepec team leader, said on Aug. 23. “I am glad I volunteered today. It makes me feel good to help Mrs. Brinkoff be able to get outside her home very little assistance. Being part of this project gives me a good feeling because I am

About $20 million goes into a program that helps third-graders read, while $53 million will be set aside for school construction — most of that coming in the form of Amendment 64-based retail marijuana revenue, which will help in the construction of schools in rural areas. “These investments will not only pay dividends in individual lives, but will also help build a stronger economic foundation for Colorado,” said Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, who is the chairman of the Senate Education Committee. Lawmakers also restored $110 million in education funding that had been stripped as a result of recession-era budget cuts. Those “negative factor” cuts had slashed about $1 billion from the state’s K-12 budget. Schools will also see an increase in the number of counselors at middle and high schools, in an effort to lower the current student-to-counselor ratio, which Senate Democrats say was at 400-1 prior to the legislation being passed. “When students are focused on their studies and have a graduation plan, they excel,” said Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, D-Arvada, who sponsored legislation to increase the number of guidance counselors.
Survey Continued from Page 1
Survey that was mailed to 1,200 residents in May. Miller said the residents who received the survey were randomly selected from postal service listings. He said 296 residents completed and returned the surveys, which was 26 percent of the surveys mailed out. Miller said the percentage of returned surveys ranges between 25 and 40 percent. The city was also told the national trend over the last three years has been fewer people completing and returning a citizen survey The center compiled the results of the survey and compared those results to the results of Englewood surveys from previous years. The 2014 results also compared the Englewood results with the national averages called benchmarks. Miller said this is his company’s 20th nniversary. He said the company worked with the International City
“Redskins.” Others blast the movement as political correctness gone too far and say that the mascots are not racist, but rather pay homage to American Indian culture and history. “They don’t get to make that justification,” Salazar said of that argument. “It’s the American Indian community that gets to decide if it’s racist to them. They can’t just say, `I don’t think it’s racist, so it’s not racist.’ You don’t get to decide.” The issue will be discussed at a public meeting that is scheduled to be held at the Denver Indian Family Resource Center, 4407 Morrison Road, from 4:30-7 p.m. on Sept. 10. There, Salazar will also talk about another piece of legislation that is of interest to the American Indian community — his revival of a bill that would allow out-of-state American Indian students to attend Colorado colleges at in-state tuition rates, so long as they have ties to Colorado tribes. That legislation died in a committee hearing earlier this year.
helping someone who needs help.” The work was well organized. Part of the crew cut and pre-drilled the railing support, others put the supports in place, while a third group painted the railing. Eye said she was surprised the project was moving a lot faster than she had expected. Heather Lucero said she was having a good time working on the project. “This is a great group of people and it feels good to pitch in to do this project,” she said. Cindy Steward, Brinkoff’s daughter, said seeing the ramp installed was a wow moment for her and for her mother. “Mom has serious back problems and has to use a walker to get around the house,” she said. “Before they put in the ramp, it really was a challenge to help her get outside. There was a short step down from the door to the porch and several steps from the porch to the ground. I had to try to steady her and it was painful for her and it took a long time for us to get her to the driveway.” She said before the ramp was installed, there was no way for her mother to get out of her house without a lot of help. She said she worried because, if there was a fire and she wasn’t there, her mother would not be able to get out of the house. “This project is wonderful,” she said. “We really thank all those who helped make it possible. We thank everyone who worked on this project and we want them to know it is a blessing for me and for my mom.”
The school funding pieces received the support of all Democrats and some Republicans, including outgoing Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock, who co-sponsored the Student Success Act, a major component of the school finance measures. “It’s a tribute to the importance of education to the legislators in this state that we maximized our increase to (education) this year,” Murray said. “As we’re coming out of the recession, we had some tough decisions to make.” Among those tough decisions was factoring in how much say local school boards have in determining how they allocate monies for their own districts. Many Republicans wanted to see school districts have more autonomy in determining how the cash infusion is being spent, rather than an across-the-board system that the state controls. Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, said the school funding measures could have done more to respect school districts’ abilities to spend the money as they see fit. “The vast majority of the 178 school boards in the state wanted us to restore the negative factor with no strings attached,” said Holbert. “But the Student Success Act was a Christmas tree of new mandates for school districts. “School districts said to us, `No, you give us as much of the negative factor funding as you owe us and do not give us any new mandates.’”
Managers Association to create the national citizen survey. “Over the years, we have administered and evaluated the results of surveys for more than 300 communities so we have data for comparisons,” he said. The city’s communication with its residents was highly rated. Councilmember Bob McCaslin said he doesn’t hear residents say they are not getting enough information from the city. “I think one of our concerns is, how do we get residents more involved in the community,” he said. “But I do think we are seeing that improve in resident involvement because we are seeing more people indicating they want to volunteer to serve on our boards and commissions.” Mayor Randy Penn said it was a good decision to have the center conduct the survey this year. “The center has provided us with detailed information about the survey results,” he said. “I believe this is valuable information we can use to help us make decisions now and in the future.”

Oldest residential area in Denver dates to 1870s
`Uncorked’ fall series opens
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Located just seven blocks from Denver’s 16th Street Mall, the historic Curtis Park neighborhood is Denver’s oldest. A Home and Community Tour on Sept. 1314 will offer visits to 15 of the more than 500 historically significant Curtis Park homes protected by Denver Landmark Preservation status and serve as a fundraiser for Curtis Park Neighbors Inc. When the railroad arrived in 1870, Denver’s population boomed and population increased 700 percent by 1880 — to 35,000. In 1871, the first horse-drawn streetcar system started at Seventh and Larimer streets, turned on Champa Street at 16th Street and went out Champa as far as 27th Street, then undeveloped. Soon there was a mix of mansions and more modest middle-class homes in a variety of architectural styles, including Queen Anne, Italianate and Second Empire. Residents included department store owner John Jay Joslin and Mayor Wolfe Londoner as well as clerks, bankers, teachers and blacksmiths. In subsequent years, the neighborhood became one of the city’s poorest, with most large homes carved up into small units and neglected until the area was rediscovered in the 1970s. This neighborhood now contains eight landmark districts and has many residences on the National Register of Historic Places. Among the landmarked homes is the Italianate cottage at 2826 Curtis St., known as the West Residence — probably designed by Orlando Scobey, listed as residing there in 1883-84. It shares another part of Denver’s history in that it housed two successive Japanese-American owners in the period after Pearl Harbor in 1941. Colorado Gov. Ralph Carr had expressed sympathy for these families displaced and ordered to relocation camps. Some moved to Denver hoping to be welcomed by local residents — which was not widely the case, at a time of widely spoken anti-Japanese rhetoric. Five Points was a home for others not welcome elsewhere in Denver. (The present owner has designed the garden except for a large blue spruce.)
The 16th Street Mall has long been a thorn in the side of Denver dwellers who don’t shop at souvenir stores, don’t care to inhale secondhand smoke and don’t want to sign petitions. But now the Downtown Denver Business Improvement District is installing Patio 16, an outdoor dining area in the median of the carless street between California and Stout streets. Patio 16 opened on Aug. 28 and will offer outdoor seating, enclosed patio railings, a variety of menu options from six local vendors and an outdoor respite for the downtown Denver community to gather, dine and unwind. Patio 16 provides a family-friendly area staffed during hours of operation to ensure a safe, clean and friendly experience, which is open to all residents, employees and visitors. For more information, visit www.downtowndenver.com/about-the-bid.
ABOVE: The Italianate West Residence at 2826 Curtis St. in the Curtis Park historic neighborhood is included in the Sept. 13 and 14 home tour. BELOW: The Queen Anne style Hayden-Pryor Residence at 2418 Champa is also included in the tour. Also open for the tour is the HaydenPryor residence at 2418 Champa St., an example of Queen Anne style, dated 1886. It is said to parallel Curtis Park history. It was built by Marks Amter, who borrowed $6,000 to build it and lost it to the bank in 1893, the year of the silver crash and ensuing depression, which affected the state. It was carved into nine units with only three bathrooms to serve many residents — perhaps as many as 27. It was also included in 1956 B-8 (business) zoning by the Denver City Council, when 88 neighboring homes were torn down. This one survived and is now protected by historic designation. Other residences will be open and visitors can get a sense of the area’s colorful history. Advance tickets are available through Historic Denver, historicdenver.org, and at the MatthewsGotthelf Mansion, 2601 Champa St., on Sept. 13 and 14.
IF YOU GO The 2014 Historic Curtis Park Home and Community Tour is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept. 13 and 14.

Started as a monthly event in 2010, “Fridays Uncorked” has grown into a weekly wine and music series that continues yeararound at Bonacquisiti Wine Company at 4640 Pecos St. in the Sunnyside neighborhood. The fall series opens Sept. 4, and the Sept. 19 “Uncorked” event will feature the band My Old School — A Tribute to the Music of Steely Dan. My Old School is the culmination of the efforts of 12 professional Denver musicians who feel an affinity to Steely Dan and the music that Walter Becker and Donald Fagen created by applying jazz to pop music. In addition to the September music lineup, winemaker and namesake Paul Bonacquisiti will be featuring three new wine releases, including a bold spicy Petite Sirah, which last year sold out to wine club members upon release, as well as a Barbera and the [d] Red, a blend of 80 percent Merlot, 10 percent Syrah and 10 percent Zinfandel. The [d] Red is named after Delagua, the coal camp in southern Colorado where Bonacquisti’s father was born. The [d] Red and Barbera releases will be available by the bottle and on tap at the winery in one-liter refillable growlers. Each event runs from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Admission is free and wine is available to purchase, as is food from a food truck that changes each week. Seating is limited, so guests are encouraged to bring a chair. The live music line-up through September includes: • Sept. 4 - Knight Groove • Sept. 12 - Heavy, Timbo and Deb • Sept. 19 - My Old School • Sept. 26 - The Hip Replacements For more information, visit www.bonacquistiwine.com.

Hunt for history across Littleton
Jazz orchestra gains new artistic director Lone Tree shows have grown in popularity
City’s story is subject for day of sleuthing
By Sonya Ellingboe
By Sonya Ellingboe

Entertainment, antique cars and costumed historic characters will appear on Main Street in downtown Littleton soon. Historic Littleton Inc. will stage its third annual Scavenger Hunt on Sept. 13 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Families and individuals are encouraged to become sleuths for an hour or two and learn some of the city’s story. The starting point is at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. — a particularly appropriate spot as a local historic landmark. The Italian Renaissance-style Town Hall, a historic gem, was designed by architect J.J.B. Benedict and completed in 1920 to house Littleton’s city offices. Eventually, the city’s needs required a larger building, constructed at 2255 W. Berry Ave., and in 1983, Town Hall began a new life as a busy arts center. To participate, one picks up a clue list with questions about history and architectural details at Town Hall between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The scavenger hunter proceeds to participating merchants, which will be marked and noted on the clue list’s map. A history of these locations will be posted on individual buildings, and clue lists will have queries about people and events. Questions about Littleton history will be answered at each location, with images of the event’s mascot dog, Sleuth, holding needed information. Cornices, corbels, iron work, doors, windows, signs … participants will also need to look closely for architectural details on historic buildings to find another set of answers. A completed clue list is to be returned to Town Hall at any time before 3 p.m. (perhaps there’s time here for a bit of refreshment in one of the many nearby locations while judges read the clue lists.) Answers will be
The Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra starts its third season with changes. Director Art Bouton, Lone Tree resident and professor of saxophone at the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music, started the orchestra by calling on an ensemble of Colorado’s top jazz musicians to perform at the Lone Tree Arts Center. In season two, it built to sold-out audiences for the last two concerts. Bouton has formed Colorado Jazz Inc., a nonprofit corporation, to help bring the CJRO to national prominence and announced a new position of artistic director. He is “Grammy-nominated jazz artist and educator Steve Weist, a cutting-edge composer and trombonist” who has recently joined the Lamont School as associate professor of jazz studies and commercial music, Bouton announced. Bouton said Weist “has spent seven years directing what is arguably one of the finest bands in the world, the University of North Texas One O’ Clock Lab Band. I just had to have him out front.” The CJRO will start its new season on Oct. 10 with “A Night in New Orleans,” featuring internationally known jazz trumpeter Byron Stripling. “Stripling is the artistic director of the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, leader of his own quartet and constantly in demand to play with pops orchestras around the world. An extroverted performer who brings the audience into his music, the happiness that he exudes through his trumpet, his vocals and his words is reminiscent of Louis Armstrong, yet very much his own,” Bouton said. He continued to say that Peter Olstad, the regular lead trumpet for CJRO, was not able to play in the October concert, and Weist said: “Let me call my buddy who plays lead for Count Basie. He’ll think this will be fun.” This is an example

of the kind of change Weist can bring to the band. “Holidays With the CJRO” is scheduled on Dec. 7 when the band will perform big-band holiday favorites, including Duke Ellington’s “Nutcracker.” On Jan. 23, there will be a tribute to Woody Herman’s Thundering Herd, and on March 23, vocalist Kim Nazarian of the New York Voices will be featured. Bouton said, “This band has been a dream come true for me.

The dish is named after the late actor and comedian who is best remembered as part of the ensemble cast of the classic “The Dick Van Dyke Show” on television.

PACE Center unveils its 2014-15 season National acts, local favorites on agenda By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com With the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center gearing up for another season, Elaine Mariner, Parker’s cultural director, said, “Our goal in booking this season was to bring at least one national act every month while also featuring our hometown favorites. In addition, we sought to create a mix of entertainment options — from country and classic rock to Celtic and symphonic, with plenty of theater and dance.” Inspire Creative, a Parker-based theater company, will co-produce the theatrical events. Tickets to most shows are on sale and a new Family Circle membership program is offered. While singer-songwriter Clint Black’s performance on Oct. 4 is said to be sold out, tickets to other performances are available online and through the box office. On Sept. 8, Dr. Kaboom’s one-man science show blends theater and exploration. Wonderbound ballet company will include Colorado Symphony Orchestra musicians in its program, “Enduring Grace,” on Oct. 18-19, and the Parker Symphony’s “Unseen World” concert on Oct. 24 will celebrate Halloween with music about a demon
witch and flying bats. Veteran entertainer Michael Martin Murphy will use period costumes and traditional songs and old-time dances to evoke the spirit of the 1934 Cowboy Christmas Ball on Nov. 28, followed by “A Classic Parker Holiday” with the Parker Chorale and Parker Symphony on Dec. 5-6. Inspire Creative will present Scrooge and “A Christmas Carol” on Dec. 11-14, while “A Parker Nutcracker” will wrap up the holiday season Dec. 18-21. Rosanne Cash, daughter of Johnny Cash, will start off 2015 with a Jan. 9 show and soon after, families can travel to Oz as ”The Wizard of Oz” plays Jan. 23-Feb. 8. Dance prevails in February with Wonderbound’s “Marie,” about Marie Antoinette, on Feb. 14-15, and a performance of “Swan Lake” by the Russian National Ballet on Feb. 19. Singer-songwriter Marc Cohn appears March 14, followed by Rocky Mountain Brassworks on March 15. Based on the best-selling children’s book series by Annie Barrows, “Ivy + Bean, The Musical” is a story of unexpected second-grade friendship on April 23. Christopher O’Riley, crossover pianist, presents “Out of My Hands” on April 25. The season finale brings Celtic stars Natalie McMaster and Donnely Leahy with “Visions from Cape Breton and Beyond: a Celtic Family Celebration” on May 13.

Pirates working to get better Improvement is goal of non-league games, soccer coach says By Tom Munds
tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Even losses contribute to the Englewood High School boys soccer team’s goal of steady improvement. “I tell the players we don’t have to be good during the early non-league games because we are just working things out,” Pirates coach Chris Kavinsky said. “We are looking, evaluating our players and looking for the best person to put in a position to help us get better. That is the value of having seven non-league games. We want to use those games to help us be ready and have a set lineup when we start league play in the middle of September.” Englewood lost to Evergreen on Aug. 21 and lost 6-0 to Denver West on Aug. 26. “I saw improvement and our players doing some good things in the game against a very good Denver West team,” the coach said. “Our defense was under pressure most of the game and responded well in most instances.” The Pirates played Durango at home Aug. 29, then traveled to play Bruce Randolph High school on Sept. 4 before going on the road Sept. 6 at Erie. The next home game will be at 10 a.m. Sept. 13 against Thompson Valley. For the first time, the coach is dealing with the challenge of evaluating more than 30 athletes seeking berths on the varsity roster. “This is the largest turnout we have had in my three years here at Englewood, and we are so pleased to see we are building the program,” he said. “We were young last year, so most of the players who were sophomores and juniors last year are back with us with a year of experience under their belts. We also have quite a few freshmen and sophomores who are out for soccer for the first time. That is important as we seek to build and improve the program.” The coach said he has returning letter winners who will help the team. He said Luke Hall has returned in the goal and Tyler Hastings is playing center fullback on defense. On the attack, he expects Rodolfo Soto and Zane Miller will score some goals for the Pirates. “We are a decent team all around and there is no one aspect of the game that can be identified as the team strength,” he said. “We have only been practicing two weeks, so we are still working out the kinks.” He said he has a lot of young players looking to earn a spot on varsity.

Pirates lose football opener Thin roster derails Englewood in second half By Tom Munds
tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Englewood wished the Aug. 26 game against Centaurus could have ended at halftime because Pirates’ injuries and a small roster resulted in the Warriors coming back in the second half to win 42-20. The Pirates had a 20-12 halftime lead. Assistant Coach Andy Cornell reported Englewood lost starters Branden Elder, Sam Vogel and Jakey Wade to injuries and the lack of depth resulted in the Pirates running out of gas in the second half, when the Warriors staged their comeback. Quarterback Sean Bowering completed 14 of 24 passes for 158 yards and rushed for 156 yards. Before he was hurt, Wade caught eight passes for 109 yards and 1 touchdown. Daryl Culbreath also had a two-yard touchdown run. The Pirates were set to return to ac-
tion Sept. 4 at home against Kent Denver. At the Aug. 25 practice, Pirates coach Jay Graves predicted his team would face the challenges presented by a thin roster. “It will be an ironman year for us,” Pirates coach Jay Graves said. “Our starting offensive linemen are all returning lettermen and that could be team strength if they all stay healthy because we don’t have many reserves in that or any other position.” Graves said he would have 28 players in uniform and 16 to 18 of those players will see significant playing time. Graves said the Pirates threw the ball a lot last year but the team will mount a more balanced attack this season. “We have Kyle Robideau, Kevin Mahler, Ben McFarland and a couple other guys who played varsity last season to anchor our offensive line,” the coach said. “They are strong, have good size and do a good job up front. They will also have to play defense. But, as long as they stay healthy, we should be pretty good up front.” The Pirates suffered a key injury when running back and receiver Nick BersaFootball continues on Page 20

PGA’s best to tee it up at Cherry Hills
Services

Advertise: 303-566-4100
Staff report With dozens of the world’s best professional golfers set to tee it up at Cherry Hills Country Club this week, tickets are at a premium. No tickets will be sold at the gate for the Sept. 4-7 BMW Championship and fans are encouraged to check online at www.BMWChampionshipUSA.com for availability. “We do expect to see maybe over 140,000 fans for the week,” said BMW Championship General Chairman George Solich. The BMW Championship is the third — and second to last — leg of the season-ending FedEx Cup playoffs. The top 70 players in the standings advance to Cherry Hills for the first Colorado PGA men’s event since the 2006 International at Castle Pines. The top 125 players in the FedEx standings, which didn’t include Tiger Woods, played Aug. 21-24 at The Barclays in Paramus, N.J. to kick off the playoffs. Hunter Mahan won the event, and in turn moved from 62nd to first in the standings, dropping Rory McIlroy to second. Playoff contenders were trimmed to 100 for the Deutsche Bank Championship Aug. 29-Sept. 1 in Norton, Mass., and the top 70 will then come to Cherry Hills. Playoff points are added to those garnered during the regular season and points will determine the eventual champion following the Tour Championship Sept. 11-14 in Atlanta. Only the leading 30 players in points after Cherry Hills will play in Atlanta. In addition to Mahan and McIlroy, other celebrated players in the top 100 prior to the Deutsche Bank Championship include Bubba Watson (fifth), 2010 FedEx champion Jim Furyk (sixth), Rickie Fowler (11th), Sergio Garcia (15th), Kent Denver graduate Kevin Stadler (34th), Ernie Els (39th) and Phil Mickelson (57th). The contenders who make the Cherry Hills field will compete on a 7,352-yard, par 70 course with 3-inch deep rough. “With the rain we’ve had, the rough has got some teeth,” Solich said.

Hall, a senior this year, is the starting varsity goalie. “Last year I was a rookie goalie,” he said. “After a year’s experience, I feel I understand the game better and I am more prepared to react to stop a shot at our goal.” He said he knows more about what is going on and can work to be a leader of the team. ”I am playing a more aggressive style this year,” he said. ”I like that style and I think being aggressive makes me a better goalie.”

gel suffered a badly sprained ankle and missed the first game. Two-year quarterback Isiah Mestas graduated so the Pirates had to find someone else to call signals. Bowering stepped up and won the job. “Sean is a good athlete and is a leader for the basketball team,” Graves said. “He has played very well for us in the summer 7-on-7 games and in the scrimmages. He has learned our system and he will do a good job for us this season.” Plans are to mix up the running and the passing plays. Graves said his running backs have good speed and should gain yardage behind the strong offensive line. He also said he has good, young receivers ready to catch the passes thrown by Bowering. “We aren’t a powerhouse but, if we can stay healthy, we should be competitive this season,” Graves said. The Pirates play three non-league games before they begin league play. Graves said most league opponents look pretty strong and it could be a battle for the league title this season. Robideau took time out of practice Aug. 27 to tale about the coming season. “I feel great and I am ready for the season to begin,” he said. “I am a returning letterman and I feel honored that my teammates will count on me to play hard, play well and be a team leader.” He smiled and said he his 100 times more prepared for this season than last year. “I have worked hard this summer,” he said. “I have spent a lot of time in the weight room so I am a lot stronger coming into the season. I also have worked hard on conditioning and building my stamina. My stamina is so much better now and I feel that is important since I am playing both ways and will probably be on the field most of the game.” He said he has worked and improved his blocking techniques. “I want to play well on offense,” he said. “But I really like playing defense. I like to use my hands to shed the blockers and hit people. I also like it because you are going full speed until the play is over. I am looking forward to the season, particularly playing defense.”

SALOME’S STARS
crossword • sudoku
FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 1, 2014
GALLERY OF GAMES
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Be careful not to allow the backers of a new financial “deal” to pull the wool over the Lamb’s eyes. It could hold fewer plusses and more negatives than you were first led to believe. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) It’s a good idea to finish all incomplete tasks so that you can devote your attention to next week’s projects. The weekend could hold surprises for romantic Fernandas and Ferdinands.
& weekly horoscope
GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A workplace suggestion you made a while ago that you might have forgotten could come back with a request to turn it from idea to reality. Your social life picks up considerably this weekend.
crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Someone from the past could return with an intriguing opportunity for a future project. Check into it, by all means. But don’t neglect your current responsibilities in the meantime.
GALLERY OF GAMES
LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Keeping your claws sheathed and using good humor instead to counter someone who’s bad-mouthing the Big Cat isn’t easy. But it’s the best way to avoid more problems down the line. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A workplace situation could improve if you’re less critical and more supportive of those who are, after all, trying to do their best. Let them know you’re there to help when necessary. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A new job offer might not carry all the benefits you’re seeking. Make sure you know what you’re entitled to, what is off the table and what is negotiable before you make a decision. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A social obligation you would rather get out of could hold some surprisingly positive aspects. Why not go and see for yourself? A family member makes a curious request. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Before tackling that new project awaiting you at home or on the job, take time out for some much-deserved pampering to help lift your spirits and restore your energy levels. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your social calendar begins to fill up more quickly than you expected. And that’s great. You deserve to enjoy some good fun after so much time spent on serious matters. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A domestic situation continues to improve, thanks to all the tender, loving concern you’ve shown. A colleague makes a questionable move that you might want to check out sooner rather than later. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A sudden turn in a romantic relationship calls for both a rational and passionate response. Keep the love level high, but also find out why the problem arose in the first place. BORN THIS WEEK: You often set high standards for others. But to your credit, you set the same expectations for yourself.
