City faces budget challenges for 2014 Councilmembers weigh idea of seeking tax hike

By Tom Munds

Pink water flowing in the Englewood Civic Center fountain and pink ribbons adorning trees around the city will appear in September in support of the project promoting breast cancer awareness.

“The city is turning the water in the fountain pink on Sept. 7 and we’ll begin tying the ribbons on trees about Sept. 9,” said Rosemarie Cabral, head of the project. “This is the sixth year the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce has sponsored the go-pink project. A lot of the businesses are supporting by decorating windows in pink, so we have got things started.”

As part of the project, the art show featuring the Breasts of Colorado will open with festivities from 5 to 9 p.m. Sept. 19 at the Cuttn’ It Loose Salon at 901 Englewood Parkway, Suite 100, where plaster breast castings decorated by local artists will be on display. The event features a live band, refreshments and a silent auction.

Cabral said the event is a fundraiser for Sense of Security, a nonprofit that helps breast cancer patients in treatment with basic living expenses such as rent or mortgages, utilities and other household expenses.

The creations began in July when 20

Presentations contained no good news Aug. 26 as staff presented the city council with data for use in developing the 2014 budget.

“We expect to meet or exceed budget forecasts for 2013,” City Manager Gary Sears said as he opened the budget presentation.

“For next year, sales and use taxes, one of the major sources of revenue, the estimate is those revenues will increase about 2.4 percent, based on inflation and new development. But we are facing challenges balancing the budget because we know we have higher costs for health insurance, contractapproved wage increases, increased pension obligations and increases in general operating expenses.”

He added that, without increased growth or new revenue sources, Englewood’s ability to provide responsive and quality day-today services and to meet capital improvement requirements continues to be difficult.

No decisions were made Aug. 26, but additional budget discussions with the council are scheduled Sept. 3 and Sept. 9. The council will hold the public hearing on the proposed budget on Sept. 16, and the annual council budget workshop is scheduled for Sept. 23.

The general fund is the money the city uses to pay the cost of day-to-day operations and is one of the largest portions of the city’s total budget. In the preliminary 2014 general fund budget proposal, total sources of funds are estimated to be $40,714,232, while the city’s total use of funds is forecast to be $42,303,936.

As the discussion began, Councilmember Rick Gillit said he was concerned because the proposed 2014 budget for the general fund estimates that city spending will exceed revenues by about $1.6 million.

“That is a big number and we need to see how to reduce it,” he said.

Mayor Randy Penn said the council has dealt with forecast shortfalls in each of the last few years. He said that, at this time last year, the forecast was that the city would spend $900,000 more than it received in revenues. Now, the forecast difference has been downgraded to about $400,000.

“The shortfall was $900,000 and now is $400,000, but there is still a shortfall,” Gillit said. “We are required to have a balanced budget so the shortfall must be made up. It can’t be ignored.”

Sears said there is no easy answer on how to eliminate the shortfall. He said, for example, to make up the $400,000 requires shortfall in this year’s general fund budget would require a 1 percent spending reduction. He said the city also faces challenge in the effort to establish a balanced budget for 2014. He said, again, there are no simple fixes to deal with forecast city finances.

To balance the budget, the basic choice facing the city is increasing revenues or reducing spending. The general agreement is that there are no new revenue sources available unless the residents approve increasing taxes. The other choice is determining how the city can reduce spending.

“The council can choose courses of action such as postponing projects, freezing

Park hopping on a holiday afternoon Families gather as Labor Day signals approach of autumn

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Families and individual took advantage of the Labor Day holiday to visit Belleview Park and take part in activities ranging from relaxing under a tree to playing ball.

For example, about 100 members of Calvary Apostolic Church gathered under the shelter near the playground for a potluck dinner while, a short distance away, the Morace family found a shady spot to spread a blanket and barbecue grill.

The day was quite warm, so wading in Big Dry Creek attracted children and adults.

Kaylynn Charbonneau got her feet wet as she kept a close eye on Logan Garcia while the 4-year-old splashed and played in the water.

“This is a great way to spend the day,” Charbonneau said. “My parents brought me to Belleview Park when I was little and now I am bringing Logan here so he can have fun.”

Centennial residents Mike and Rachael Phillips said they were driving by the park when their 5-year-old grandson saw the miniature train and wanted to ride it.

“I think we knew this park was here but we haven’t visited it in years,” Mike said.

“It is such a nice facility and our grandson loves the train. We had all we could do to get him off after two rides.”

He said he is sorry to hear it was the last day for the train for the season, but said he and his wife will probably bring the 5-yearold back to Belleview Park because there are so many nice facilities for children and families.

As sunset approached, people began to leave. It was also time to put the train away for the winter, to close down the Children’s Farm and Pirates Cove Family Aquatic Park.

But plans are to have all three attractions in top condition when it is time to open for the season on Memorial Day weekend next year.

Display puts hunger in the picture The 22 8-by-10-inch photographs are simply set in a display case in the airy lobby of the Denver Public Library’s central branch. On an early Saturday afternoon, men and women, old and young, stroll by on the marble floors. A few glance at the images — portrayals of lives lived with hunger — but so far today no one stops.

Most never see the stories just beyond the glass, much the way many never see the hunger hidden among us every day.

“It’s something I hear a lot since I’ve been talking to people about poverty — `You’re not the average homeless person; you’re not the average hungry person,’” says Caroline Pooler, 53, who came to know hunger and homelessness after losing her job two years ago. Three of the photographs in the case are hers. “There really is no average hungry or homeless person. They can be someone who’s working full-time and they’re not going to get lunch that day because they have to give lunch to their kids.”

Caroline and nine other women are participating in Hunger Through My Lens, an innovative project by the advocacy organization Hunger Free Colorado that gave them digital cameras to document how they see a world without consistent and healthy sustenance.

The goal is simple, project manager Lauren Flax says: Give the experts, those who know what it’s like to be hungry, a platform to voice their opinions and help shape answers to what should be a solvable issue.

“We really believe there is a solution to ending hunger,” Flax says. “Just as there are many solutions, there needs to be multiple people coming up with them.

Who better than the hungry?”

The women are a diverse group.

They are Latino, African-American and white, ranging in age from 22 to late 60s.

They are mothers and grandmothers in Jefferson and Adams counties, Denver and Aurora. Some have lived in systemic poverty since they were children. Some live an “average, normal, middle-class life

but they go to bed hungry every night, hiding it even from their church groups,” Flax says. Some have made bad choices, either through lack of education, access to resources or circumstances.

But all share the common denominator of having experienced the isolating and desperate hunger that comes when you don’t know how or when you’ll have your next meal. Through their photographs, they hope to provide a glimpse for others — perhaps a dawning understanding — into that world.

“It’s a way to put faces to statistics,” Flax says. “It’s easy to forget a number. It’s a lot harder to forget a face or a story.”

First, the statistics, compiled from various federal and state reports: • One in six Americans in the U.S., and nearly one in four children, are foodinsecure.

• More than 25 percent of working families in Colorado don’t have enough food to meet basic needs.

• An estimated 270,000 children in Colorado, or 22 percent of all children, live in food-insecure households.

• Colorado has the fastest-growing rate of childhood poverty in the country.

The numbers are astonishing.

And here are Caroline’s stories, told in her photographs, which she titled: • “Reverse Disparity,” a photograph of two banana clumps. One is full, fresh and smooth yellow, selling for 59 cents a pound in a grocery store in an affluent neighborhood. The other is in a smaller, privately owned grocery 30 blocks away in a neighborhood considered a “food des-

ert” because it has no large supermarkets offering healthy options within a mile.

These three bananas are slightly bruised, for sale at 89 cents a pound.

“I’m certainly not faulting that grocer,” Caroline says. “We need that grocer in that area.” But lower quality food for higher prices is the reality.

• “Farming for Food Sustenance for the Heart.” A close-up of an orange nasturtium, taken in an urban garden in which Caroline was working.

“I really did find that while I was on my hands and knees trying to feed myself, people in suits and briefcases were looking in and wishing that was them. I am the lucky one in so many ways,” she says, “pulling my food from the ground.”

• “Ancestral Meals.” A photo of a Cambodian family’s ceremonial meal, spread out in bowls and prepared in honor of ancestors for a holiday.

“It’s an inside look at the diversity of the culture here in Denver and Colorado and how those cultural food needs must be met as well,” Caroline says.

Although Caroline began struggling when she lost her job working in a medical research office, she initially resisted applying for food stamps, turning instead to urban gardening as a way to feed herself. She took the bottle cap- and cigarette-strewn lot of a friend and began tilling and planting the soil until it flowered into an organic garden in which she harvests tomatoes for a nearby bodega, and lettuce, squash, eggplants and green beans for herself. A nonprofit restaurant, which operates on donations, uses her produce to cook her lunch.

Local food banks also helped. But last November, one turned her and others away when it ran out of food. The memory still brings tears. “I just walked down the street and cried, more so for the thought of the moms that were turned away.”

Shortly after that, she applied for food stamps. And “it has been a blessing to go to the grocery store and really meet my nutritional needs.”

An artist also, she considers her work with Hunger Free Colorado among her most important. The organization offers training on how to advocate for hunger issues before local governments and agencies to those who, like Caroline, want their voices to be heard and want to make a lasting difference for others in their shoes.

In October, Caroline starts a school program she hopes will lead to a job that can provide her with the stability to provide not only for herself, but also for her 24-year-old son, who despite his job still finds himself hungry at times.

“I would like to buy groceries every two weeks and take them over to his house,” she says — just the way she used to.

Back at the exhibit at the library, a woman glances at the photographs as she walks by. She slows down, and backtracks for a closer look.

The photo of a hand-scrawled sign — “Will Work 4 Food” - caught her attention.

“It just made me want to look,” Susan Wolinsky, 71, a retired lawyer, says. “I just think it’s pretty sad that in this country people don’t have enough to eat … People who have full stomachs have a better chance of being productive citizens and of helping others.”

She was surprised to find out she was one of only two passersby in an hour who had studied the exhibit, which will travel to four Adams County libraries, the 16th Street Mall in Denver and Hunger Free Colorado’s Oct. 1 Hunger Summit.

“It’s too bad,” Wolinsky says, “that some of the photographs aren’t on billboards towering over the city so that people have no choice but to look at them.”

Indeed. That would put big faces on the big numbers that are hunger in Colorado.

Group pushes idea of EHS veterans’ memorial Organization wants to move quickly on fundraising

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The idea of a memorial to honor all Englewood High School students who served in the military service was born in 2009 during the 50th reunion of the school’s Class of 1959.

It became the project to build the Englewood High School Military Memorial.

Kay Howard, a 1959 EHS graduate who now is spearheading the effort to build the memorial, said she and her classmates talked about the school, and the idea of a military memorial came up.

“Originally, the suggestion was placing a bench in the school,” she said. “But, after talking with people at the school district and high school, we came up with the idea of a memorial in front of the school near the flagpole.”

The Englewood High School campus is at 3800 S. Logan St., but the high school opened its doors in 1913 in the now-demolished building that became Flood Middle School.

Organizers want to install the memorial to honor all Pirates alumni who served in the military as part of the school’s celebration of its centennial.

The proposal is to place a pentagonshaped stone with the emblems of the five service branches engraved in it as the centerpiece of the project. The memorial and

Back to School Sale

the installation will cost about $40,000.

Howard said the fundraising needs to be done quickly so the memorial can be put in place during the construction of the seventh- through 12th-grade campus on the EHS site.

In addition to the memorial, the organizers are selling stone pavers designed to fill in around the stone marker. There are three different size pavers. Each paver is designed to have the veteran’s name and service seal on it.

Additionally, organizations or businesses can purchase pavers engraved with their logos to show support for the project.

The Englewood High School Military Memorial group has received nonprofit status, so donations are tax-deductible. For information on the memorial, the sizes and

cost of the stone pavers or the proposal, call 303-740-8789. The organization also has a Facebook page at Englewood High School Military Memorial.

Howard and other proponents staffed a booth Aug. 10 at Englewood Funfest.

“A lot of people stopped by to talk to us,” she said. “We got a lot of encouragement and raised a little money for the project.”

Howard said future plans are to meet with the Englewood City Council and the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce to seek additional support.

She added that planning is still in the early states for a bowl-a-thon to raise money for the project.

Tentative plans are to hold it late October or early November at a local bowling alley.

Two council races contested City’s final candidate roster set; school board won’t hold election

in District 2 and District 4 and one council at-large representative.

Municipal Judge Vincent Atencio is unopposed for his fifth term as the state’s only elected municipal judge. Also, incumbent Councilmember Rick Gillit returns to office as the District 4 representative because he, too, is unopposed.

There are races for the other two council seats. Linda Olson, incumbent District 2 council representative, is seeking a second term, and is opposed by district resident Rita Russell.

There is no at-large incumbent because

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood voters will decide two contested races in November as they elect three city council members and a municipal judge, but there will be no school board election this year.

Municipal offices on the ballot are municipal judge, city council representatives

Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward chose not to seek another term on the council.

Two Englewood residents met the requirements to get their names on the ballot — Scott Gorsky, the former school board president, and Steven Yates, a first-time council candidate.

There will be two city questions on the ballot. The council places a non-binding question about whether or not any aspect of the recreational marijuana industry should be allowed in Englewood. There also is a resident-initiated ballot issue seeking official park designation for a number

of parks and properties in the city.

The school district canceled its election because there are only three candidates for the three school board vacancies, Gene Turnbull, Tena Prange and Jason Sakry.

“All three candidates turned in their petitions before the deadline, the signatures were verified, so all three candidates are qualified to appear on the ballot,” said Linda Felling, executive assistant to the school superintendent. “Because we have three candidates for three positions, the school board was asked Sept. 3 to approve canceling the election.”

POLICE REPORT Stolen motorcycle found A routine investigation of a suspicious subject resulted in the man’s arrest and the recovery of a stolen motorcycle.

The officer contacted the man about 7:10 a.m. Aug. 23 in the 4600 block of South Broadway.

The police report indicated the 31-yearold man was standing over a Suzuki sports motorcycle. The report said, when questioned, the man first gave the officer a false name.

The motorcycle ignition was damaged

and a key in the ignition had a Saturn logo on it and didn’t match the motorcycle.

Police contacted the registered owner of the motorcycle, who said the bike had been stolen while he was out of town on business.

The report stated the 31-year-old was questioned and said he had purchased the motorcycle from an individual, but he believed the bike had been stolen.

The suspect was arrested and taken to the Arapahoe County jail, where he could face changes including theft by receiving.

Fe A place and time for contemplation This next Wednesday marks 12 years since the day the Twin Towers fell and alQaeda terrorists aimed their planes at the Pentagon as well as the White House.

Having been born in the ’70s, there are only two events that even come close to comparison for me — the Challenger explosion and the start of the Gulf War. Neither of those events holds a candle to those images we all witnessed a dozen years back; most of us on television, a couple people I know who were unfortunately there.

I never had the opportunity to see the towers while they stood tall, beacons in the New York City skyline. My first pilgrimage to Manhattan was just weeks ago, and along with thousands of others on an early Sunday morning, I filed into the land of what was, to see what it had become, as the foundations of the towers became a place to remember each and every life taken on that fateful morning.

“They’re kind of hurting with some of the players that are injured and out with other issues, but I think we’ve got a really great chance of at least making the playoffs and possibly going to the Super Bowl.”

— Charlie O’Neal, Denver

“With that whole (Von) Miller thing going on, he’s not going to be there half of the season. They have a good chance, but I don’t think they’re going to blow it out of the water.”

— Michelle Campbell, Denver

“I don’t know anything about football, but I think they’ve got a 50 percent chance. That’s based on nothing. ...

No, I don’t think they’re going to go to the Super Bowl.”

— Julie Schmidt, Colorado Springs

“With Peyton Manning and the receiving corps they have, I think they’re going to have a great chance of ....

Without Von Miller for the first six games, it’s going to be tough ....”

— Joel Monroe, Lakewood

Mac and cheese: a six-part analysis Whenever something goes haywire in the Middle East, I write a column about food. In other words, about every two weeks. It takes my mind away from it for at least a couple of hours.

“Imported from your childhood” is what it says on a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese. When I was in college I probably ate five boxes of it every week. Now? Practically never. But I still eat a lot of macaroni and cheese, mostly because of Jennifer.

When I was eating Kraft, I could buy five boxes for a dollar. Now it’s a dollar each, unless you’re a member of a food club, which I am not. But it is still priced right for a college student, and it gives the illusion of providing some actual nourishment, which Top Ramen, for instance, does not. On your behalf, I decided to do some macaroni and cheese research. It can be one of our favorite, simple meals. But not always.

You might not know that some version of macaroni and cheese has been around for centuries. There’s a pasta and cheese recipe in a 14th-century cookbook. The first modern recipe appeared in 1769 in “The Experienced English Housekeeper.”

Don’t let gum stick it to you I would venture to guess that at one time or another, all of us have either stepped on a piece of gum, or if we haven’t been so fortunate yet, will certainly step on a piece at some point in our lives.

You know the kind I am talking about, right? It’s a hot day, someone has spit out a piece of chewing gum, the heat of the sidewalk or asphalt has baked it into a soft or even liquid-like substance, and then we are blessed enough to step right on it.

We immediately know when it happens, too. We feel it, we look down at the strands that are partially stuck to our shoe and yet still connected to the ground behind us.

We let out a sigh as we crinkle our nose, scowl at the mess, and maybe even utter a four-letter word or two.

How about the other things that are keeping our feet stuck in one spot and that make us snarl with angst as they slow us down on what we really and truly want to pursue? What is holding us back, holding you back? Is it a lack of a certain skill or knowledge? Is there a tainted experience or memory that has jaded our hope and inspiration for following through on our goals and dreams? What is causing us to look back or look down at the lack of achievement or missed opportunities?

If you are like me, you also really hate gum on the bottom of your shoe. It’s not just the sticky strands and wondering whose mouth germs are under our feet, but it’s also about how we are going to clean that mess up.

Here is the better question, “How will we clean up the mess under our feet that is holding us back from everything that we want to be, do, or have?” What has to be

untangled and scraped away so that we are free to increase our stride and move with the purpose and passion we once enjoyed?

The tricky thing is that when we step on a piece of liquefied gum we immediately know it, but when we are stuck in other areas of our lives we either choose to ignore it or we just do not recognize what is keeping us on the periphery of moving up or ahead or maybe even greatness.

A good first step is to list all of the things that we want to have in our lives or give of ourselves. Then next to each one list all the potential barriers, all the possible pieces of chewing gum that could take us away from our mission. Are they real-world barriers or just things and obstacles we imagine or make excuses for that allow us to focus on the stickiness and scraping instead of the cleaning up and forging ahead?

Have you looked at the bottom of your own shoes lately? What do you see? Are they full of stringy attachments and forgotten dreams and visions, or have they been wiped clean and ready for the next journey? And maybe, just maybe you have one shoe stuck and one shoe clean, straddling Norton continues on Page 7

Feds won’t block pot rules Boldrey Continued from Page 6

Justice Department memo clarifies stance

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com The federal government finally provided clarity on Colorado’s marijuana laws on Aug. 29, with the Department of Justice issuing guidance saying that prosecutors will not seek to block recreational pot use and sales here — so long as the newly created industry abides by state regulations.

However, the memo does spell out priority cases involving serious marijuana-related offenses that federal prosecutors will continue to investigate, regardless of state laws. And it maintains that possession, cultivation and distribution of the drug will remain a federal crime.

Still, the memo makes it clear that federal prosecutors won’t be beating down doors of most recreational pot users in Colorado any time soon.

The clarity provided by Attorney General Eric Holder’s office has been a longtime-coming for many around the state, who have sought guidance from the feds ever since Colorado voters passed Amendment 64 — the ballot measure that legalized recreational pot use and sales — last year.

“This is a good thing,” said state Sen.

of the Three Secrets of Fatima, and I think Kraft is smart to market their product as a favorable childhood memory.

Michelina’s is absolute glop. Their marketing strategy is to claim their product is “priced better” (i.e., cheap). All I saw under the list of ingredients were unpronounceable words. And good luck with removing the lid. I guess you could just leave it hanging on, but if you try to tear it off, well, you won’t be able to. Banquet is almost as frightening. But at least you can remove the film cover. Stouffer’s is in the ballpark.

The elbow macaroni is good, and they use “100% real cheddar cheese.”

Lean Cuisine is my choice when I want to make something quickly that’s tasty.

The box says “tender macaroni in a creamy cheddar cheese sauce” and “no preservatives.” Lean Cuisine doesn’t try to market their macaroni and cheese as a nostalgia item or a thrifty alternative.

salaries, requiring unpaid furlough days or laying off employees,” the city manager said.

“For example, to balance the 2014 budget, it would mean eliminating the jobs of seven to 10 employees. But each of those employees is involved in service to residents, and letting those people go means it would be very difficult to maintain the same service level for residents.”

Sears said one suggestion is to ask voters to approve a property tax increase. He said the annual lease payment on the Englewood Civic Center buildings is $1.5 million and there is still 10 years on the debt. He said the council may consider seeking a voter-approved tax increase to cover the lease payment each year. Voter approval would

It sounds strange, but the reason for the decorated plaster cast project is to increase awareness of breast cancer and to raise

Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge.

Jahn played an instrumental role in crafting regulations associated with Amendment 64 during this year’s legislative session.

“It’s not a matter of this being something that was statuatorial,” she said. “This was citizen-driven and put into the (state) Constitution. How do you not respect that?”

The AG’s Office memo reiterates that “the federal government has traditionally relied on states and local law enforcement agencies to address marijuana activity through enforcement of their own narcotics laws.”

The memo also says that the federal government has left “lower-level or localized (marijuana) activity to state and local authorities (to deal with).”

But the guidance from the Justice Department makes it clear that federal prosecutors will continue to make marijuana enforcement determinations, depending on the seriousness of the case.

The department laid out eight “enforcement priorities” where the feds will continue to devote resources, “regardless of state law.”

They include cases where drug money goes to gangs or cartels and cases involving drug trafficking. The feds also make it clear that they do not want marijuana distributed to minors.

Way out in front in quality, and cost, is Whole Foods’ macaroni and cheese. I brought some home for Jennifer and me one night, and since then she has written poems about it.

I have to warn you: It’s $6.99 a pound.

An argument could be made that macaroni and cheese should be kept simple. I don’t agree. Whole Foods has taken something that is basically simple, and made it something profound. The sauce doesn’t look like aqueous yellow Crayolas (see: Banquet).

It is banana-colored, thick, sophisticated and complex. I say this without wanting to sound like one of the judges on “Chopped.” Macaroni and cheese is often a sideshow instead of the headliner. It goes great with barbecue and chicken wings.

Finally, I bet you didn’t know that there’s a National Macaroni and Cheese Day in the United States. Whose idea was that?

But now that you do know, next July 14, get yourself some.

never have had the war and 9/11 put into perspective like they were.

It’s that same perspective that friends and family members of those 2,996 people as well as the more than 5,200 American soldiers who have died since in the resulting wars now experience each time they think of that morning.

My friend, like many others, felt a call of duty.

And as I stood there running my fingers over the names of lives lost - surrounded by a skyline once dwarfed by the towers — I began to understand that call more than ever before.

These were the people he was fighting for.

It was a similar call of duty felt by another friend of mine, Paul Palmisano, who runs an alternative school in Monument, Colo. My mind turned to him next.

A native New Yorker, Palmisano spent five days, beginning moments after the attacks, working at Ground Zero, spending his time unloading equipment and donations from barges at nearby docks and the rest in a human chain carrying debris out from the destruction.

Norton

“I just really felt it was my duty,” Palmisano said in a 2010 interview with Colorado Community Media. “That was why I was going south while everyone else was fleeing north. I was enraged. I’m still enraged that our country was attacked.”

And as he recalled casualties covered in soot, fleeing Ground Zero, and offering assistance to them, he also recalled an overwhelming sensation of patriotism.

“I’ve never seen that kind of patriotism before,” he said. “Besides the nightmares, that’s what I remember. I didn’t know if I had it in me until that day. Now I know I’m someone that can go in when others have to go out.”

Everyone, no matter how patriotic, at some point, should do the same. Go there, see what he saw, and see what you have inside of you.

Because while that day may be 12 years gone, its images and impact have stayed with most all Americans ever since.

And while some of us have turned a blind eye to the Middle East, the war still rages on, and in the quietest place in all of New York, there serves a memorial of not just what happened, but that soldiers are still fighting, and lives are still being lost.

mean about $1.5 million available to support the city’s operating budget.

After the director of each department presented his or her proposals, the council discussed possible courses of action.

Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward said the city reserves are now about 8.2 percent and he would like to see that raised by about 1 percent. Councilmembers Gillit and Joe Jefferson agreed.

Councilmember Bob McCaslin said the level of city reserves is a choice, and the council needed to draw on reserves or ask voters to raise taxes if they want Englewood to remain a full-service city.

Penn said he also thought the voters should be asked to approve a tax increase.

“We need to let people know the tax increase is essential if the city is to maintain its current level of services,” he said. “We need to put the situation to the residents that way and let their votes tell us what service level they want.”

money to help those battling the disease.

While using decorated breast castings has been used to raise money for charity in Oklahoma and California, this is only the second year Cabral has spearheaded the project in Colorado.

“We began supporting the breast cancer awareness effort six years ago but decided we wanted to do more,” Cabral said. “A couple years ago, we did research and decided to do a fundraiser for Sense of Security. We chose that organization because we wanted to raise money for a local charity that helped victims of breast cancer in our area.”

Canines to get run of Pirates Cove Freedom Service Dogs hosts aquatic fundraiser for the sixth year

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Activities including a one-kilometer walk, a midway of pet product vendors and dogs taking over the waters at Pirates Cove Family Aquatic Park are scheduled to be part of the Sept. 7 Freedom Festival and Doggie Plunge.

This is the sixth year Freedom Service Dogs has sponsored the event.

“This year, we added the onekilometer walk with all proceeds going to help provide service dogs for wounded veterans,” said Stacey Candella, event coordinator.

“There will be food vendors and events, demonstration and activities to showcase the wide and varied things dogs can do. At the same time, dogs can splash and swim at Pirates Cove.”

There is no charge for admission to the festival, but there is a fee of $15 per dog for the doggie plunge and a $20 entry fee for the

one-kilometer walk.

Registration for the walk begins at 7 a.m. and the walk steps off at 8. The doggie play time in the park and the displays in the park begin at 9 a.m.

Pirates Cove Family Aquatic Park is located at 1225 W. Belleview Ave. Belleview Park is located to the east and north of the aquatic park.

The pool waters will be churned up, as Candella said about 1,000 dogs are expected to take the plunge.

But for owners who don’t want their dog in the water, the festival will be in full swing at Belleview Park. About 30 food and pet product vendors will be set up in the park.

There will be demonstrations by the Buckley Air Force Base K-9 team at noon. Also, there will be a fastest dog contest at 1 p.m. and a dog ice cream eating contest at 1:30.

There will also be a place to sign up as a volunteer with Freedom Service Dogs, which moved to new, larger headquarters at 2000 W. Union Ave in Englewood.

The organization was established in 1987 to provide assis-

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. To achieve

that goal, each animal must complete a two-year training course at a cost of about $25,000, but the dogs are provided to the clients free of charge.

The organization trained and placed 35 dogs with new owners last year, and the target is to do the

Denver Metro CU Alumni Partner with Tilted Kilt for Watch Parties A partnership intended to build camaraderie amongst Buffs in the Denver Metro area.

Tilted Kilt will offer Buffs an exclusive menu, signature cocktails, premium seating, swag, a great view of HD TV’s throughout the venue, discounts and

“I’ve been a part of the CU Boulder Alumni Association since I graduated in 1983”, said Kimbirly Orr, Board Chair of the Denver Metro CU Alumni Chapter.

“Meeting Lisa and Mark Voss, owners of the Tilted Kilt, has taken partnership with a venue to a new level for our chapter. Their commitment to CU Alumni, our Scholarship Foundation and our local CU sports watch party events is unprecedented for our chapter. We welcome all CU Alumni, family and guests to join us to cheer in CU Athletics throughout the year. You never know who you will meet at a CU Alumni event!”

“We are tremendously excited about this partnership and look forward to serving the Denver area CU alumni!” said Lisa Voss.

Kaiser Permanent is one of the largest private employers in the state with more than 6,000 employees in Colorado.

Later this year, the health care provider will open a multi-specialty clinic in Lone Tree and hire an additional 130 positions there.

As Kaiser Permanente continues to add new membership in Colorado, it’s estimated that hundreds of additional jobs could be created in the state in the next three to five years.

“We are pleased to provide a sustained boost to Colorado’s economy,” said Donna Lynne, president of Kaiser Permanente Colorado.

Airport installing 12 noise monitors Douglas, Arapahoe each get six gauges

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcolorado news.com In a continued effort to keep the noise level down for people living and working in the flight path of Centennial Airport, the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority is in the process of installing noise monitors in Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

The authority began site selection in 2009, selecting six locations in each county. The airport has already put up five monitors, all of which are solar, two on airport property, one in Cherry Creek State Park, and one each in Lone Tree and Castle Rock.

With the Aug. 27 approval by the Douglas County commissioners to allow for construction of a 22foot tall monitor, similar in stature to a telephone pole, on public land along Fifth Street in Parker’s Grandview’s Estates, the airport authority now has clearance for all 12 monitors, the last of which will be installed this September.

“It will give us the capability to measure the actual noise of aircraft departing from and arriving at the airport,” said Michael Fronapfel, deputy director of planning and development with Centennial Airport. “Having a noise system is not necessarily a

requirement; however it’s one of the things the FAA is willing to fund to assist airports with addressing some of the noise impacts on the community.”

Fronapfel said the sites were selected to give a wide representation of flight paths into the airport as planes head over local communities, in addition in areas where the airport has received complaints of too much noise in the past.

“This study allows us to be able to go back to the FAA and say if a particular route is problematic for us,” Fronapfel said. “It’s good to have a historical picture of where we are making improvements or if we are going in the wrong direction.”

In addition to the Grandview Estates noise monitor, the remaining seven locations where monitors will be installed include the Meridian area, Surrey Ridge and at E-470 and Parker Road in Douglas County, as well as Greenwood Village, Aurora’s Sagebrush Park and Hunter’s Hill in Centennial in Arapahoe County. With the exception of a solar install in Surrey Ridge, the others will all be electric.

The expected lifespan of each monitor is 20 years, Fronapfel said, adding that the airport spent just $75,000 on the entire project, with the remaining $1.5 million coming from a Federal Aviation Administration grant.

No local tax dollars are being spent on the project.

We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about craŌsmanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and building techniques.

The thicker walls in our high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insulaƟon than in a convenƟonal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we get 2½ Ɵmes MORE insulaƟon in the aƫc. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill!

Myths speak to audiences ‘Metamorphoses’ plays at Aurora Fox Studio Theatre

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com

“E

nchanting!” said a friend as we exited the Aurora Fox Studio Theatre still under a spell, while those who sat in the front row returned the ponchos they had been issued.

“Metamorphoses,” Mary Zimmerman’s beautifully crafted play based on ancient Greek and Roman mythology, is graced with an excellent cast, imaginative direction by Geoffrey Kent and an especially fine set design by Charles Dean Packard. Zimmerman had drawn on writings by Ovid and other classical and contemporary authors, including Rainier Maria Rilke.

The set, with its cleverly lit pool of blue water, is almost another character in the script, certainly important to the sounds one hears throughout.

It splashes, rains, has a waterfall and is deep enough for characters to disappear underwater and exit backstage.

One keeps wondering: “How did they do that?”

The pool is surrounded by wooden

columns that suggest Greek predecessors — and walls with openings where gods and men (and women) appear to present a collection of stories and characters that are part of our cultural fabric — and the source for many contemporary tales: Orpheus and Eurydice, Narcissus, Aphrodite, Erysichthon and Ceres, Phaeton, Baucis and if you go Philemon, “Metamorphoses” runs Eros and through Sept. 22 at the Aurora Psyche …

Fox Studio Theatre, 9900 E. We first Colfax Ave., Aurora. Performeet a mances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, modern Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays.

King Midas Tickets, $22 to $26: 303-739(a skilled 1970, aurorafoxartscenter.org.

Michael Morgan, who shines throughout), who talks like self-centered billionaire seen in the news today. A god, pleased with him, offers a wish and he asks that everything he touches might turn to gold.

Although he has been shushing his active daughter, he is heartbroken when she leaps into his arms and we all know what happens to her.

Staging of this scene and those that follow is carefully and precisely carried

out, with musical background, extraordinary lighting and sound.

Every splash — and there are many — has a part in the characters’ story and elegant language.

A sense of humor is emphasized throughout by Kent’s expert direction.

His experience as a classical actor is apparent.

A whiny Phaeton floats on an air mattress and complains that his dad, Apollo, God of the Sun, won’t give him the keys to the car so “he can light up the world for a day.”

A studly Narcissus appears from the wall portal and proceeds to admire his reflection until he freezes and is replaced by a plant.

While the spoken lines in “Metamorphoses” have a classical lilt, they are so clearly delivered that there is no problem in understanding them.

Throughout, Jada Roberts, who plays a nursemaid and others, serves as a sort of Greek chorus, interspersing observations as these humans and divine beings deliver vignettes. Other actors who play multiple parts include Zachary Andrews, Michelle Hurtubise, Jaimie Morgan, Carmen Vreeman, Justin Walvoord and Ryan Wuestewald.

Lovers of theater will not want to miss this fascinating production.

Gallery event has Western view Stories, music, poetry, art, food to be offered

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Visitors are welcome at a special event planned by Hilliard Moore’s Great Western Art Gallery in downtown Denver from 5 to 9 p.m. Sept. 20, where art, storytelling, music, poetry and cowboy vittles will be presented. A percentage of sales proceeds will benefit the Buffalo Bill Museum in Golden.

Steve Friesen, historian, director of the Buffalo Bill Museum and author of “Bill: Scout, Showman and Visionary,” and

Carolyn Campbell, artist and author of “Soiled Doves of Colorado and the Old West,” will be among the storytellers.

Singer and Western entertainer Liz Masterson will perform at the free event. She has taken her yodeling, singing, humorous stories and guitar-playing skills across the country to the Smithsonian and the Kennedy Center. She has appeared frequently at the Littleton Museum in past years.

Western art will be featured at the gallery through Oct. 25, including works by Albert Micale, who grew up in the East, drawing cowboys and Indians since childhood, and became an established Western illustrator, although it was 1968

Fossil Trace Golf Course in Golden is listed among the “10 most unusual U.S. golf courses,” according to Forbes magazine contributor Larry Olmsted.

The writer raves about course designer Jim Engh, calling him “one of my favorite golf architects and way underrated by the general public, though the industry holds him in high acclaim.”

Olmstead also notes Fossil Creek’s preservation of rustic mining equipment and the history lesson the course provides with prehistoric dinosaur tracks through holes 11 to 15 left some 64 million years ago. “Triceratops footprints have been well marked next to the 12th green so golfers can take a look, and more fossils, plaster footprint casts, and ancient history are in the clubhouse,” Olmstead notes.

He forgets the great views the course offers from every direction, especially from holes No. 1 and 10, and the commune next to the 16th tee box.

PGA Tour is on the ball

The PGA Tour is not run by a slew of stooges.

Witness the television commercial already out touting the 2014 BMW Championships, part of the FedEx Cup playoff tournament series that will be played at Cherry Hills Country Club in Cherry Hills Village.

The advertisement features four of Denver’s best-known sports figures, from the Broncos: John Elway, Peyton Manning and John Lynch and ex-Denver Nuggets star Chauncey Billups (now with the Detroit Pistons but a Denver resident and native).

So Todd Helton and Joe Sakic are chopped liver?

The BMW Championship is the next to the last tournament of the FedEx Cup series that narrows the field to the final 30 that play at The TOUR Championship the following week. Next year’s BMW Championship will be played Sept. 4-7 at Cherry Hills. Tickets are already available at https://tickettapp.com/wms/buy/ bmw/2014 for the 2014 BMW Championship.

Decadent and delightful

“The Price of Winning” by Albert Micale will be featured at “Art of the Range” on Sept.

20, an evening promoting the Buffalo Bill Museum in Golden. Courtesy photo before he traveled west of the Mississippi. He studied history, collected books and other materials and painted from his imagination.

In his “The Price of Winning,” the stars are positioned as they would be in a winter sky, according to Moore. The painting tells a sad story.

The fourth edition of Penny Parker Presents The Fourth Evening of Decadent Delights on Sept. 30 will take your taste buds on a culinary adventure while supporting Sense of Security, the Colorado nonprofit that covers non-medical expenses for breast cancer patients (www.senseofsecurity.org).

The enchanting evening begins at 6 p.m. at Balistreri Vineyards (66th and Washington) with a cocktail party sponsored by Downslope Distilling followed by a multi-course dinner at 7. Some of Denver’s finest chefs who will blow your culinary mind are: Troy Guard (TAG, TAG Raw

It’s not just another weekend in Littleton Events feature bacon, bands, beer, cannibals, golf carts and more

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com One weekend, one location and two of the oddest events in town — which is saying a lot for one that features a Turkey Leg and Wine Hoedown in summer and the Pumpkin Follies and Goat Show in the fall.

First up in September is the Golf Cart Drive-In. The featured showing is “Friday the 13th” on — wait for it — Friday the 13th.

In the parking lot of Reinke Bros. Haunted Mansion, of course, 5663 S. Prince St. Admission is $3, gates open at 5, and the show starts at dusk on a giant blow-up screen.

Just in case you don’t happen to have your own golf cart, Discount Golf Carts, 1360 S. Cherokee St. in Denver, has them for rent.

Littleton code allows properly equipped golf carts on certain streets with speed limits of 35 mph or less, but party-goers are strongly encouraged to check the municipal code for details. Rules govern the licensing of drivers and how the carts must be equipped with lights and parking brakes.

Golf carts are not allowed on Bowles Avenue, Littleton Boulevard, Main Street, Alamo Avenue, Federal Boulevard, Mineral Avenue, County Line Road, Broadway, Belleview Avenue or Dry Creek Road.

With help from Breckenridge Brewery, Alamo Drafthouse movie theater and Affinity Gaming Black Hawk, proceeds from the first-ever event support the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association.

The next day, Sept. 14, Littleton Rotary’s event should really attract a crowd to Reinke’s. Not only did they combine Littleton’s most famous cannibal, Alfred Packer, and bacon into a single event, they added bands, beer and The Nacho Men. The Alferd Packer Bacon Party is 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., featuring a whole bunch of dead pig. Vendors will serve up a variety of bacon inspirations along with more typical fair fare, and sponsors are rewarded with pounds of sowbelly — along with Alfred Packer trial transcripts.

Why are we spelling Packer’s first name two different ways? According to the Littleton Museum’s website: “It seems that during his Army days he got a tattoo on his arm in which the artist misspelled his name.

Taking a liking to the error, he oftentimes went by ‘Alferd’ as something of a joke. On legal documents, however, he called himself and was referred to as ‘Alfred.’”

Prior to his death in 1906, Packer spent much time in around Littleton, ultimately being buried in Littleton Cemetery in 1907.

He came here after he was paroled from prison in 1901, where he spent 15 years for admittedly eating a man rather than starving to death on a cold mountainside.

Rotary’s mission is just as dogged.

The organization, and this event, raises funds for scholarships to Arapahoe Community College, Books for Babies, Colorado Drowning Prevention Task Force, East Elementary’s Tutor Time, Hands Across Littleton, Littleton Free Clinic and more.

“The more we raise, the more we can give,” said Doug Applegate, president of the Rotary Club of Littleton Foundation.

L Shows flow in Spark exhibits

Tow also

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com As sculptor Barbara Baer placed finishing touches on her installation “Pleasure Ground” at Spark Gallery on Aug. 27, she planned to set the gallery lighting the next day.

“We should get some good shadow play,” she said, talking of her process in placing the new work in Spark, where she will collaborate with two artists whose work is remarkably compatible with hers, although each has a distinctive style.

Baer’s “Pleasure Ground” fills half the main gallery space as one enters Spark, at Ninth Avenue and Santa Fe Drive. Kelly Cannon’s “Imagined and Observed” — work based on maps, data and landscapes — flows across walls to meet Baer’s installation.

Annalee Schorr’s mathematical “Rhomboid” in the North Gallery is glimpsed through a doorway. It includes four Plexiglas rhomboid structures, each striped with precisely patterned duct tape, a patterning that extends to the floor.

Baer said the cooperative gallery plans its exhibits for the year with hopefully compatible combinations of members’ artworks. This combination is particularly pleasing to a viewer’s eye.

Baer started planning in early spring, taking careful measurements of the gallery and its movable wall panels, forming an agreement with Cannon about placement of the large moving panels, which cannot be stored elsewhere. She has put them flat against the walls.

She built a small model and planned her “Pleasure Ground,” inspired by memories of historic gardens she has visited, including Versailles. “I love old gardens,” she said.

Human-scaled figures are placed along a curving path, which was designed after drawings made by the original garden planners at Versailles centuries ago. The path’s all-over black and white pattern comes from repeats of a photograph of Baer’s lawn grass, copied onto sheets of mailing labels and pieced together. Areas of this grass image flow up onto the walls in geometric forms that continue the garden path look.

The individual figures are varied in size as human visitors would be and invite a viewer to walk around and between them.

“We connect to objects that resonate,” she

observed. They are created from a weatherproof foam board and covered with an outdoor fabric, all cut with scissors and stitched in varied designs. (Individual weatherproof pieces will be for sale and can be placed in outdoor gardens.)

Above them float a series of brightly colored shapes, cut from transparent plastic, each centered with a small repeat of the standing figures’ motif. They move with air currents and suggested a floating poppy field to me.

“I’ve been making art a long time,” said Baer, who has created large, abstract public art installations across the country and in Europe and Japan. “If it’s a public art commission, you do it so carefully. Why not enjoy a show in a gallery?” she asked herself and rejoined Spark, where she had previously been a member. “This can be spontaneous, with different trims and patterns — so fun. I got hungry to exhibit again.

Most art in public places is really missed …

Here, one can count on space about every

18 months.”

She speaks of the relationship of her works to theater, a favorite art form, where the set design holds special appeal.

Baer’s public art works are found through the south suburban area: floating high at Littleton’s city hall (“Open Skies”), at South Suburban’s Goodson Center in Centennial (“Life in Motion”) and seated in ground locations at the Englewood Transit Plaza, Pine Grove Elementary School in Parker and in the Douglas County Art Encounters collection at Lone Tree.

A Denver resident, she grew up in Louisiana and has a bachelor of fine arts from Tulane University (1971), followed by a master of fine arts sculpture (1978) from the University of Colorado at Boulder (1978).

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com For as long as he has been alive, Highlands Ranch 14-year-old Adam Encrapera has been challenged by Alstrom syndrome, a disorder that affects every organ in his body with the exception of his brain.

One of just 500 people in the world diagnosed with the disorder, Adam has gone through numerous battles in his lifetime. He was declared legally blind at a young age and lost all his hearing by age 9. He has struggled with kidney issues, heart complications and diabetes.

But ask his mother, Susan Encrapera, and she will tell you that “intellectually, he’s pretty normal,” and per the physical challenges? “He rolls with the punches.”

Being confined to a wheelchair for the past 2½ years has made life all the more difficult for Adam, who in that time frame has had multiple back surgeries and been forced to move his bedroom from upstairs to the family’s formal living room.

Aside from having to set aside physical activities such as adaptive baseball, parasailing, horse riding and adaptive ice hockey, Adam was subjected to a type of sleep disorder that made it appear he was having seizures, and the family was forced into more than 15 trips to the emergency room in the last three years.

Susan said they had to call emergency responders to help with him, because there was no adaptive wheelchair ramp at the house, Adam, weighing 200 pounds and standing a proud 5-foot-11, was too much for his parents to carry.

Enter the Home Builders Foundation, a metro Denver-area nonprofit that partners with the homebuilding industry to provide home modifications at no cost for individuals with physical disabilities and financial need On Aug. 23, as part of a three-day “Blitz Build,” the foundation sent 100 volunteers to 13 homes in the metro area, including Adam’s. At each home they built a ramp, as in Adam’s case, or made modi-

“Having access to your home is not something you think about until you have to think about it,” said HBF executive director Beth Forbes. “Being part of all the different site visits you really see how difficult it can be to get in and out of the home and (around) one’s bathroom. It’s rewarding to see the quality of life eased from start to finish.”

Adam, an eighth-grader at Cresthill Middle School, was in school while the construction was going on, but Susan said he is extremely grateful for all the help.

“We had called the state about getting help with home modifications but he doesn’t qualify, because his IQ is too high. He doesn’t have a developmental disability,” Susan said. “A friend told us about Home Builders and they have been just wonderful.”

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “La Soleil du le Riviera” is the title for Pixie Gore’s and Kathy Dawson’s joint art exhibit in September in the Stanton Gallery at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center.

Paintings of the beautiful South of France by two artists who have traveled there many times will bring the color and sunshine into the gallery for a month, while “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” the onstage musical, tells a lighthearted tale of two (singing and dancing) con men who agree to cooperate in bilking wealthy tourists, especially women, who are visiting the Riviera.

Kathy Dawson is a travel agent who specializes in art-related touring and will actually be on the Riviera when the play opens on Sept. 13.

Youngsters have adventure on the brain Outdoor fest gets kids into new activities

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com It’s a way for kids to experience something new.

The Outdoor Adventure Fest, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 7, was created to further The Wildlife Experience’s mission of inspiring respect for wildlife and the outdoors through adventure and education. Introduced last year as the Big Bash, a celebration to mark the museum’s 10th anniversary, the Outdoor Adventure Fest has been renamed and grown to even bigger proportions in 2013.

“It’s not just wildlife and the outdoors,” said Christopher Goetz, events and promotions coordinator for The Wildlife Experience. “It’s getting people out to do things.”

That especially goes for children, whom statistics show are spending less time playing outside than ever. The Outdoor Adventure Fest is loaded with activities, from a backyard bass casting game to spin art to birdhouse building. Visitors will also become enthralled with dog training demonstrations, archery classes, whitewater

More than 3,000 people attended the Outdoor Adventure Fest at The Wildlife Experience last year. The event, set for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 7, focuses on hands-on experiences and adventure learning. Courtesy photo rafting discussions and mixed martial arts seminars.

And perhaps the most enticing aspect — at least to penny-wise parents — is the low cost. Admission to the festival is $1 and

includes access to the museum and all of its exhibits, as well as the Extreme Screen theater.

“For people who have never stopped by, this is their chance to try it out,” Goetz said.

“We believe these folks will come back and sign up for memberships.”

Other “adventure activities,” like the zip line, bungee jump, climbing wall and hamster balls, require two to five tickets. The $1 tickets can also be used to purchase kettle corn, barbecue, cotton candy and other food.

The fest is meant, in part, to promote The Wildlife Experience’s fall lineup of classes and excursions.

There is already tremendous interest in fly fishing and ice fishing classes, and plans are being finalized for snowshoeing, hiking and camping trips, including an overnight stay at Castlewood Canyon State Park near Franktown.

“This gives patrons an opportunity to try some of these things, and as their skills advance, they can take it to the next level and go out on their own,” Goetz said.

The Wildlife Experience partnered with like-minded organizations with similar philanthropic missions. Westminster’s Butterfly Pavilion was invited to teach people about the gentle insects, and the Wolf Sanctuary from LaPorte will talk about the dangers facing some of North America’s most elusive creatures.

Cornerstone ball fields dedicated Diamonds, area get $893,000 makeover; about half of funding comes from grants

As teams began gathering on the diamonds for softball games, there was a brief dedication Aug. 29 celebrating the completion of the makeover of the three South Suburban Parks and Recreation ball fields on the north portion of Cornerstone Park.

The major project included renovating the ball fields, building new dugouts, installing new scoreboards, constructing a new shelter with picnic tables and building a new baseball-themed playground.

The project cost $893,000. South Suburban received a $250,000 grant from the Arapahoe County Open Space Fund, a $200,000 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado and a $3,500 donation from Arapahoe Youth Sports. The remainder was South Suburban funds.

John Ostermiller, South Suburban board president, presided over the dedication. He said the project has been on the drawing board for several years and, in 2011, the district began applying for grants.

“We feel this is a major asset to the community,” he said during the dedication. “More than 4,500 individuals on about 400 adult softball teams use the field each year, and the hundreds of parents and children on Arapahoe Youth League teams play here during the weeks and weekends.”

Danny Nourse, vice president of Arapahoe Youth League baseball, agreed the fields had undergone a major makeover.

“This is a well-planned project that included the fields and amenities like the shelter and playground for those who come to watch the games,” he said. “This is a great facility and we hope we can bring some of our tournaments to this location.”

pirates lose football opener Woodland Park scored late to beat Englewood 35-12

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood’s football team saw scoring opportunities slip away Aug. 30 when Woodland Park chalked up 24 third-quarter points to blow the game open on the way to a 35-12 win.

“We played well at times but we made a

lot of mistakes. For example, we could have been up 21-0 but, because of mistakes, we found ourselves behind 8-0,” Pirates coach Jay Graves said. “We were inside the Woodland Park 10-yard line twice and came away with no points. You can’t do that and win games.”

The coach said the Pirates spent quite a bit of time looking at the film of the game and will immediately begin working to correct the problems that cropped up against Woodland Park.

The Labor Day holiday limited practices

to three days as Englewood prepares for the home opener Sept. 7 against Arvada.

The Bulldogs like to run a spread formation and throw the football, and they will come into the game against Englewood looking to rebound from the season-opening 45-0 loss to Weld Central.

The kickoff will be at 7 p.m. and will be played in Englewood High School Stadium.

Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students with school identification.

The Pirates coach said, statistically, his players looked pretty good as they gained a

total 234 yards of total offense.

Quarterback Isiah Mestas completed three of seven passes for 98 yards and one touchdown. On the ground, Nick Bersagel was the rushing leader as he carried 10 times for 60 yards, Mestas carried five times for 33 yards and Jason Ward carried four times for 12 yards and a touchdown.

The coach said Chris Gutierrez had an outstanding game on both offense and Pirates continues on Page 23

Cross country runners face early test Weather, course add challenges at annual Warrior Invitational

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com A true cross country course with hills and water jumps is a trademark of the Warrior Invitational, and this year, lightning that forced a reshuffling of the schedule and rain compounded the tests for the runners.

This is the 47th year for the invitational at DeKoevend Park in Centennial and, for the first time in recent memory, Mother Nature dictated changes in the schedule.

About 50 teams entered the invitational and most were warming up for activities to start at 4 p.m. with the boys junior varsity race, when everyone was sent to buses or other shelters after Chuck Lutz, Arapahoe cross country coach and event organizer, called a 30-minute delay because of lightning in the area.

The delay stretched to more than an hour and the event schedule was reshuffled with the boys varsity race starting at 5:15

Englewood’s Chad Glover, right, pushes to pass another runner near the finish line at the Warrior Invitational Cross Country Meet. Glover was 94th in the field and the pirates were 42nd in team standings. Photo by Tom Munds p.m. and the girls varsity at 5:30 p.m. About 6 p.m., the boys JV and C team runners were combined and sent out on the course. Five

minutes later the girls JV and C team runners’ race began. The Arapahoe coach said this was probably the largest field of races

in Colorado history and there might be a couple thousand runners on the course at the same time.

But the event was run and Cerake Gabveikidane of Denver East was medalist in the varsity boys race, with a time of 15:10.

Connor Weaver of Mountain Vista was second and helped his team to win the team title with 65 points. Arapahoe was second with 144 points.

After finishing the race in 16:06, Weaver said he was sure the delay and change in schedule had an impact on everyone, but everyone still pushed hard during the race.

“It was OK anyway,” he said. “The course was a little wet but it wasn’t too bad. I feel I ran pretty well. I would have liked to have won the race, but I set my own pace and l felt my time was good. This was a challenging field, I feel I did well, so it is a good way to start the season and work to get better.”

In cross country, a runner receives points based on his finish in the race. The first place runner gets one point and the Runners continues on Page 23

defense. As a receiver he caught four passes for 76 yards and a touchdown.

He also had a memorable game on defense as he intercepted three passes, recovered a fumble and caused a fumble. He also is the Pirates punter and averaged 46 yards per kick.

“It was an exciting night because it was the season opener in my senior year,” Gutierrez said about the game.

“As far as what happened and the plays I made, it will be something I’ll remember for a long time.”

The senior said he works to be a good pass defender. Woodland Park

threw quite a few passes his way and he was able to make three interceptions.

“I try to use my speed, good timing and my ability to jump high when I cover a receiver,” he said. “It went well against Woodland Park.”

He said he likes playing offense better because he gets the chance to catch the football and run with it. He said he also likes playing defense because he is a good pass defender and he likes hitting people.

Gutierrez said catching the touchdown pass was special. He said it made him feel good he could help his team by scoring points.

The coach said sophomore Carlos Valdez also had a good night on defense as he captured an interception and caused a fumble.

Evaluating the game, Graves said it may not look like it on the scoreboard, but the Pirates defense played well most of the game.

“We made three interceptions and recovered three fumbles, and that is good defense,” the coach said. “The problem was we didn’t take advantage of the opportunities the turnovers gave us.”

The coach said Englewood was hit by 20 penalties and he felt the setbacks that resulted from the penalties hurt the team and its efforts to score.

“I think getting called for all those penalties frustrated our guys,” Graves said. “I think that had an impact on the way our guys played and, when we slacked off, Woodland Park took advantage of the chances we gave to score points.”

Behind Weaver, the next four teammates were Andrew Walton in fifth place, Blake Graf in 16th place, Tyler Matzke in 19th place and Carson Hart in 23rd place.

In the varsity girls race, Monarch won the team title with 53 points.

Wolff said no one liked the schedule shift or going back to the buses because of the lightning, but none of that mattered when it came time to run.

“It is a good course and it is a good race,” she said after crossing the finish line. “It was a big field, and maneuvering through runners was challenging, particularly when the trail narrowed down. But it was great weather for running and that helped make it a good run.”

She said she felt it wasn’t her best race, but it was a good effort and a starting point as she seeks to get better and improve her time every race she runs.

Wolff ran a time of 19:12. The next four Warriors across the finish line were Erica Petersen, Shelley Lautenbach, Sarah Slack and Elaine Barella.

Englewood had a team in the boys varsity race, and Chad Glover set the pace for the Pirates with a 94th-place finish. The team finished 42nd in the 50-team field. The Pirates didn’t have enough runners to field a team for the girls varsity race. Senior Natalie Pena was the first Englewood runner to finish the course, and she finished 259th among the 300 runners in the competition.

Glover said he really didn’t feel his best out on the course, as his legs felt heavy. He also said running in a big field had its challenges since, where the course narrowed down at the bridges, a lot of runners were walking until they could get to the bridge.

“It wasn’t my best effort, but it was OK and a good place to start preparing to do better in future races,” he said.
