Englewood wants to use RTD funds The city asks for money that had been booked for projects no longer planned By Tom Munds

‘Fill the Boot’ collects $22,000 Englewood Fire Department honored for fundraising effort By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood received two plaques for the work done by Englewood Fire Department volunteers, who raised $22,000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association during the Labor Day weekend’s annual “Fill the Boot” campaign. Sabrina Allen, director of the Denver office of MDA, said she was glad Englewood is working on the project. “It takes an army to make Fill the Boot work,” she said during the Oct. 7 city coun-

cil meeting. “Englewood firefighters worked hard and did an amazing job.” She was at the meeting to present plaques recognizing the firefighter’s efforts. One plaque was presented to the city and accepted by Mayor Randy Penn. The second plaque was presented to the fire department and was accepted by Fire Chief Andy Marsh. The presentations drew applause from the audience and a comment from Councilmember Rick Gillit. “It is amazing what the firefighters do to help raise the funds that will mean so much to someone else,” he said. “The firefighters did a great job and I appreciate the effort of all those who took part in the project.” Dan Ally, Englewood firefighter/engi-

neer, spearheads the local “Fill the Boot” project. “This was a total department effort,” Ally told the city council. “We had all 55 firefighters helping out at some time during the project. We had firefighters on duty but we also had firefighters who volunteered their time to help with the fund-raiser.” He said Englewood began the most recent Fill the Boot project participation in 2010, when they raised about $2,000. “We have raised more each year and this year, we set the goal at $2,001,” he said with a smile. “The extra dollar on the goal was so we would collect more than Cunningham Fire Department.” He said everyone worked hard and even went to the University of Colorado-Colorado State University football game to help Denver Fire Department cover the event. Ally said it was a plus that Marsh took part in the project. “It was great to have him working with us,” the firefighter said. The total collected in the three-day effort was $21,990. Allen said she put in the final $10 to raise the total to $22,000. Planning is already underway for next year’s Fill the Boot project, and Ally said the goal will be to raise $22,001.

Englewood is seeking promised funds for Regional Transportation District projects that are no longer scheduled to be built. The proposal is to use RTD funds for city projects. Mike Flaherty, deputy city manager, told the Englewood City Council at the Oct. 7 study session that the RTD FasTracks plan included creating an additional 440 parking spaces at the Englewood Light Rail Station and building a light rail station on the former General Iron Works property. “A parking structure was discussed at a cost of about $5 million. But it was considered impractical because of cost and the disruption construction would cause to existing parking in the lot north of the Englewood Light Rail Station,” Flaherty said. “Also, RTD has moved away from providing parking at the light rail stations. All the parking garages on the west line are privately owned.” He said the once-planned Bates Station is a different issue. He said the agreement was that RTD would pay a third of the cost of the station while the city would pay a third and the developer would pay a third. However, costs have increased dramatically since the proposal was introduced and the current estimate for the project is $22 million. Additionally, the current owner of the former General Iron Works site isn’t interested having a light rail station on the property and doesn’t want to pay a third of the cost of a light rail station in that location. The estimated cost of the projects that won’t be built is about $12.9 million. The city would like all or at least part of that money to be made available to the city. “Since the additional parking and Bates Station are not planned, staff has explored the possibility of RTD providing funding for transit-related projects we want to see built in Englewood,” Flaherty said. “We had a meeting with an RTD official who suggested we prepare the request for funding and a prioritized list of the transit-related projects we would build with the RTD funds.” He said probably the top project on the list would be the rail-trail work suggested in the Englewood Light Rail Corridor Area Master Plan. The project to enhance bike and pedestrian traffic would stretch from Big Dry Creek to the former General Iron Works site and would include bike-pedestrian bridges spanning Dartmouth, Hampden and Oxford avenues. Estimates are the rail-trail projects would cost about $8 million. Other projects on the list include construction of a protected bike loop and a canopy and windbreak shelter at the Englewood Light Rail Station and expanding the Art Shuttle route and hours of operation. Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward said the canopy and windbreak at the Englewood station shouldn’t be on the list but should be done as a maintenance project, and Councilmember Joe Jefferson said he doesn’t think concrete barrierprotected bike lanes all over the city are a good idea. However, when the discussion concluded, the councilmembers gave consensus approval for staff to continue meeting and working with RTD to officially request the transfer of funding for the plans the city wants to build.

Field of opportunity rich but rocky Emily Jacomet and Connor Buckborough stood at the top of the escalator, their red “Ask Me” T-shirts loudly proclaiming their belief in the seemingly infinite possibilities lined up table-by-table in the cavernous room just beyond them. Emily: “It’s more than just an education. It’s an experience. You’ll remember these experiences and these friends for the rest of your life.” Connor: “It’s the world’s best network.” Emily: “I’ve met my lifelong friends.” Connor, nodding: “They’ll be in my wedding, for sure.” Student ambassadors from University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Emily and Connor spent a recent afternoon welcoming an expected 4,000 high school students to the second annual national Denver College Fair at the Colorado Convention Center. “It’s overwhelming,” Emily said of the vast choice behind the doors. “It’s crazy. But once you find the school for you, you’ll just feel it.” Like a special relationship. Finding it, though, can feel almost impossible as you walk into the hall where seemingly endless rows of tables in blue and white draping stretch from one end to the other. “It’s stressful,” Greenwood Village junior Jessica Diamond said, as she wandered down an aisle. The more than 300 universities offered something for everyone. There was Saint Michael’s College, a picturesque Catholic Vermont campus of 2,000 students. There was the spirited 24,000-student-strong University of Oregon. And there was Ari-

zona State University with its mega-Tempe campus of more than 60,000 students. But even their stripped-down presence of tablecloths and pamphlets stirred a sense of excitement, of potential and promise and the glimpse of futures just waiting to be grasped. Students and parents strolled the aisles, looking, questioning, listening, waiting for that spark of connection that this could be a school to consider. “It’s kind of like in high school, you’re preparing for college,” said junior Elizabeth Lipshutz, a friend who accompanied Diamond. “In college, you’re preparing for the rest of your life.” Rafael Barron, a junior from Aurora, wants to be a doctor someday. He was looking for possibilities. “There’s so much to think about,” he said. “It makes me excited, not so much scared but nervous … about what would be the best choice for me.” His parents, Yadira and Gavino Barron, resolutely believe in the power of college as a launching pad to success, one worth sacrifice in time and money. “It’s so important to have that college degree,” Yadira said, “because no one can

take that away from you.” She and Gavino have four children — Rafael will be the second to attend college. And Yadira will tell you she and her daughter, in her first year at Regis University, easily fall into dreaming about what lies ahead. Gavino is more pragmatic: “You’ve got dreams and goals, I’ve always said. A dream is just a dream — a goal is when you have a plan … This,” he said, glancing at the row of tables, “is part of the plan. This is a step from Point A to Point B. This is why we’re here.” But getting to Point B isn’t always easy these days. A report by the U.S. Department of Education finds that if the cost of attending public four-year institutions continues to increase, the price of a public education in 2016 will be more than twice what it was in 2001. “The rising cost of college,” the report continues, “may make it increasingly difficult for students to access and complete their postsecondary education.” About two-thirds of bachelor’s degrees recipients borrow money to pay for their education, research shows, and the average college senior graduates with $25,000 in student loan debt. That financial concern has refocused how colleges and universities reach out to prospective students, admissions directors say. “Four years at college is such a transformational time — you really figure out who you are,” said Anne Fattig, assistant director of admissions of small-town Simpson College in Iowa. “The right college kind of makes or breaks that to an extent.”

But it’s not enough anymore to highlight only the experience. “It’s such an incredible investment,” Jeremy Brown of Saint Michael’s College said. Students need to “find that institution where not only they feel safe to explore who they are and who are going to become, but also a place where they have opportunities upon graduating.” So, outcomes — a college’s job placement and loan default rates, for instance — become key ingredients to the quest. Three years ago, Brown couldn’t have rattled off the college’s default rate without researching it first. Now, it’s at his fingertips. Students and parents, he said, want to know they’ll “be getting jobs when they graduate and can pay off their loans.” Connor Buckborough, the ambassador from UNC, is counting on being able to do just that. A sophomore studying communications and brewing technology, “I’m pretty far in the hole,” he said about his loan debt. But he has no doubt about his choices. “It’s going to be worth it, as long as you excel,” he said. “There’s always a way.” Emily Jacomet is certain, too. “One hundred percent. I’ll never regret going to college.” Education. Experience. Friendship. Selfdiscovery. Work. Amazing how a cavernous room of tables and pamphlets can scatter seeds of infinite possibilities. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week. She can be reached at ahealey@ourcoloradonews.com or 303566-4110.

Charter school proposal detailed About 35 attend meeting to hear plan, ask questions By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Dr. Lloyd Carlton Academy Charter School founding board members presented details of their application to open the school in the Englewood district in August 2014, during a special Englewood School Board meeting on Oct. 8. In the meeting at the Maddox building, charter founding board president Mary Zachariah used a PowerPoint presentation as she talked about subjects including the school’s mission, vision and educational philosophy. The Carlton Academy founding board filed an application with the Englewood School District on Aug. 1, seeking schoolboard approval to open a facility in the district in August 2014. A second presentation was set for Oct. 17 at the Maddox building. The Englewood School Board is scheduled to decide whether to approve the charter application at a special meeting at 7 p.m. Oct. 22 in the boardroom at the school administration building, 4101 S. Bannock St. The charter school would not charge tuition, and funding would come from a portion of the per-pupil state funding from the home districts of the students, plus grants and donations. A stated goal of the charter school is to offer families the opportunities to have their student attend class in a school that is not part of the Englewood public school district. Recruiting and enrollment is planned in a manner to ensure equal access to all students seeking to attend the school. The initial target population for the school will

be kindergarten through fifth grade from Englewood and surrounding districts. This marks the second year in a row an application to establish the charter school in the Englewood School District has been submitted. The board rejected last year’s application as insufficient in a number of areas. The charter school founding board chose not to appeal the school board’s decision, instead opting to resubmit the application. Zachariah said the group has been working on the revised application since January and went through a lengthy preparation process that included working closely with the Colorado League of Charter Schools to develop the new application. The goal was to have new application include an improved budget, detailed technical information and specific facts providing a better picture of what the school would look like once it is up and running. During the Oct. 8 meeting, Zachariah said the preferred location for the school is the former location of St. George Church in Cherry Hills at the east side of the intersection of U.S. Highway 285 and South Clarkson Street. The application requests permission to open the school’s doors in August 2014, offering classes for kindergartners through fifth-graders, with a grade added each year until the school would teach kindergartners through eighth-graders. The opening enrollment is forecast to be 200, increasing to 420 in five years. In the presentation and in response to question, founding board members repeatedly said it is their goal is to work hand-inhand with the school district. Nancy Doty, board member and Arapahoe County Commissioner, said a number of Englewood students have left the district to attend schools in other school districts, and an aim of the

On Oct. 22, the school board will decide whether or not to accept the application. Photo by Tom Munds charter school is to bring those students back to Englewood. After the basic presentation, questions were accepted from the audience. In response to a question about enrollment, board vice president Theresa Martens said the school has enrolled 97 students, which is almost half of the first-year target enrollment of 200. Kevin Ebert, an Englewood resident, asked about the school’s proposed budget. Martens said the revised budget is part of the application and said the detailed budget will be placed on the school’s website. Kevin Cultis said he is a charter school supporter. He said the charter school will offer an option for parents of children who don’t do well in public school.

“I urge the school board to approve the application right now,” he said. Another issue concerned transportation. In her presentation, Zachariah said plans were to try to arrange for students to be transported to the school. “Charter schools are not obligated to provide transportation for students,” she said in response to a request for more details about the issue. “But it is our desire to do all we can to get out students to class. Depending on funding, we might contract with a firm to provide transportation, or we could purchase Regional Transportation District passes for students who need them and would use them. We will work on the issue as the opening of school gets closer.” More information can be found online at carltonacademyllc.org.

Residents and merchants could have their questions answered about the proposed Broadway-Acoma development project at a community meeting to be held at 7 p.m. Oct. 23 in the community room on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center. Medici Communities was selected to develop the site and Tony Gladwell, Medici’s project manager, as well as other company representatives will be at the meeting to discuss the proposal and answer questions. The development would be constructed on the 1.8-acre site that includes the vacant lot on the corner of South Broadway and Englewood Parkway as well as the land west of the alley along the 3400 block of South Acoma Street The Medici concept of the mixed-use development is to construct an 8,600-squarefoot restaurant site on the corner of Broadway and Englewood Parkway that would be part of the total of 23,500 feet of commercial space to be included in the project. The residential portion of the project would be 114 for-rent apartments contained in a five-story building along Englewood Parkway and a three-story building along Acoma. Fewer than half of the apartments would be rented at costs the local workforce could afford, and the remaining apartments would rent for market value. To provide parking for residents and the businesses along the west side of the 3400 block of South Broadway, there would be a parking garage with 176 spaces, plus 32 surface parking spaces. The estimated cost to build the project is $24.8 million. The Englewood Urban Renewal Authority has owned the Acoma parking lot and about half the lot fronting on Broadway

Then the EURA can begin discussion to sell the site to the developer. Plans are for the project to be completed in 24 months after the developer’s land purchase is final. The latest process to develop the Broadway/Englewood Parkway land and the parking lot began early this year, when the authority and the city council agreed to put out a request for proposal for development of the site. In an earlier EURA meeting on the project, Alan White, community development director, said there were 45 requests for information about the site, but only three development proposals were received by the April deadline. He said one proposal was eliminated from further consideration because it didn’t meet EURA evaluation criteria. He said that, while the specific details of the final two proposals were different, both proposals would develop a project of mixed-use retail and residential development, which would be allowed since the proposed development site is zoned commercial.

Halloween carnival set for Oct. 26 Crowds of costumed characters to attend By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com

Transformation comes to the Englewood Recreation Center Oct. 26, from a facility dedicated to health and fitness into a haunt for creepy critters, the proper setting for the annual Halloween Carnival. Even before the sun goes down, a steady parade of costumed creatures of every size, shape and description is expected to begin arriving for Englewood’s annual event. This year’s carnival will be held from 5 to 8:30 p.m. at the Englewood Recreation Center at 1155 W. Oxford Ave. There is no charge for admission, but game tickets are 25 cents each. A single ticket is required for most attractions. On carnival night, as in past years, there are expected to be large and small visitors who for that night have transformed themselves into a variety of comic book characters, slinky as well as scary witches, ballerinas, princesses, several pirates and some creatures that defy description, Coming through the front door, visitors e thefind the lobby is populated by a variety of characters and creatures handing out canorta-dy. said The next stop is the gymnasium, which nts towill again become a beehive of carnival activities.

A steady parade of people came into the gymnasium for the activities and games at last year’s Englewood Halloween Carnival. This year’s carnival will be Oct. 26. File photo skill challenges line the walls. Participants can choose from a wide variety of activities, such as an opportunity to shoot a hockey puck into a goal and a chance to knock down figures with beanbags. Win or lose, the contestant gets a small toy or candy. At the same time, the center of the gym floor is taken up by popular inflatable attractions that will be new this year. A concession stand will sell snacks like popcorn, plus this year there will be items from Pizza Hut and Country Buffet.

Chris Vitale, organizer of this year’s event, said the popular haunted house will be in place. She also said the Scales and Tails store will provide the live visitors that will populate the reptile room from 5 to 7 p.m. There will be a costume contest between 6 and 7 p.m. Those who want to take part in the contest need to sign up at the concession stand. There is also a location where those attending can have a photo taken in their costumes. Each year between 1,500 and 2,000 peo-

ple attend Englewood’s Halloween carnival. Connie Swanson said she has been coming to the carnival since she was a little girl. “I now have two small children and we try to make the carnival every year,” the former Englewood resident said. “I make our costumes and try to come up with a theme. A couple years ago, we were hobos and another year we were vampires.” She said she won’t talk about this year’s theme, but said her two girls are very excited to show off their costumes.

Church to offer free fun for kids tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com

The welcome mat provides the invitation to step up and take part in the annual Kid Fest from 5 to 8 p.m. Oct. 27 at the Mosaic Church, 4101 S. Lincoln St., where everything is free. “This is a really cool event,” said T.J. Harris, Mosaic pastor. “We have games, food and attractions that include inflatables, and everything is free because it is the way our church wants to bless Englewood and give back to the community.” The event began six years ago. Harris said the 30 or so members of the congregation nervously agreed to put on the event that attracted a couple hundred people. “The event has grown every year,” he said. “Last year we estimate about 1,000 people attended the event. This year should

be bigger and better. The police are blocking off the 4100 block of South Lincoln Street. We’ll have fire trucks on display as well as a display by the Englewood Youth Sports Association.” He said the church gets a lot of support to put on the event. He said there is a small army of volunteers to help staff the activities, and a number of companies have stepped up and donated items for the event. “Our goal at Mosaic Church is to create a safe environment and put on a fun event as our way to bless and give back to our community,” Harris said. Cynthia Smith said her two children are looking forward to the event. “I moved to Sheridan last year and a neighbor invited me to the Kid Fest,” she said. “I almost didn’t go because it was being put on by a church. But I finally gave in to the kids and we had a great time. It is such a wonderful event. I think it is wonderful that a church would put on this free event that is open to anyone. Bless them.”

Shutdown turns career fair into no-go Federal action hits home at ACC event By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com The federal government shutdown derailed a federal job fair at Arapahoe Community College Oct. 8. It was billed as “Call to Serve: Change the World,” and was supposed to feature federal-agency recruiters and live, in-person guest speaker Gina Erickson, se-

nior policy analyst at the Department of Energy. But when 800,000 federal employees were furloughed as a result of the previous week’s shutdown, Erickson and the recruiters suddenly became unavailable. What the dozen or so students who attended got instead was a virtual presentation by event sponsor Partnership for Public Service, “Making a Difference in the Federal Government.” Robbie Barbero, a fellow with the White House Office of Technology, described his experiences as a doc-

tor of bioengineering working for the government. “I wondered, what are the biggest problems in the world, and what are some of the biggest challenges?” he said. “The federal government is where I can address some of those.” He said people have four major misconceptions about government work, with one being that bureaucracy equals nothing more than paperwork. “You can and do make a difference as a federal employee,” he said, noting the amount of policy

Horse Liniment Erases Pain

HIALEAH, FL — An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse legs, is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended formula. According to a national drug survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. The inventor of the original formula has brought it back under the trade name ARTH ARREST and says it can relieve pain for millions. Now at:

Considered a medical miracle by some, ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. ARTH ARREST formula is useful in the treatment of painful disorders ranging from minor aches and pains to more serious conditions such as arthritis, bursitis. tendonitis and more. ARTH ARREST is available in a convenient rollon applicator at pharmacies without a prescription or call 1-877-581-1502 1-800-339-3301 or visit www.artharrest.com.

setting and research that goes on (unless the government is shut down). “… It has a real impact, and it’s one of the reasons our country is where it is, considered a leader in science and technology.” Low pay and the belief that federal employees are all political scientists who live in Washington, D.C. are other myths, he said, pointing out that right here in Colorado are the Federal Center, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and various military bases that employ civilians. According to PPS, the “Call to

Serve” initiative is a joint effort with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management to “educate young generations of college students about the importance of a strong civil service, help re-establish links between federal agencies and campuses, and provide students with information about federal jobs.” For more information on jobs, internships and other federal career paths, visit www.USAjobs.gov and www.gogovernment.org, or email calltoserve@ourpublicser vice.org.

A routine traffic stop resulted in a 38-year-old being accused of tampering with evidence. Police pulled over a red truck for a false temporary permit about 10:51 p.m. Oct. 8 in the 2900 block of South Fox Street. The report said the officer saw the 39-year-old driver

A lot of police activity in the area of the Marketplace Center Oct. 12 was a result of officers tracking down a 19-year-old man who reportedly stole items from the Englewood Walmart store. According to police information, the suspect took items without paying for them and punched the store manager who tried to stop the suspect from leaving the store. The suspect ran across parking lots to the area of the Marketplace Center and, with officers chasing him, went to the pond and ducked into the box culvert carrying Big Dry Creek under the area. Officers followed and eventually captured the suspect. No one was hurt and the suspect was issued a municipal summons for shoplifting. The suspect was then taken to the Arapahoe County jail, where he could face charges of obstructing an officer, theft of merchandise worth less than $500 and thirddegree assault.

shutdown puts lives in limbo Politicians point fingers as workers face uncertainty

Republican Congressman Cory Gardner. “We now have a shutdown of the government, there’s now this overarching threat of the United States defaulting on its full faith and credit and not paying the bills,” said Congressman Ed Perlmutter, a Democrat. “And these guys (Republicans) have been holding the economy and working people hostage. “It really is unforgivable.”

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com

When Ann Humphrey received news recently that she was being furloughed as part of the federal government shutdown, she immediately drove to Rep. Ed Perlmutter’s Jefferson County office and sought answers, while wiping away tears. “I was very upset,” the Lakewood woman said. “I just wanted to vent and let them know how upset I was. I didn’t know if I was going to be getting paid or how long this would last. It was really scary.” Humphrey has been a government employee for the last 25 years, most recently as a management assistant with the Department of Treasury. She’ll probably end up getting back pay, but in the meantime she has no income and plenty of bills to deal with. “I called Wells Fargo to see if they would defer my house payment and they wouldn’t do it for me,” she said. “It’s really stressful. It really is the fear of the unknown.” Humphrey wasn’t the only one facing uncertainty amid the shutdown. Mickey Devitt of Denver is an attorney for the National Labor Relations Board. Her position was furloughed and she, like Humphrey, has been faced with uncertainty about what the immediate future will bring. “I have two young kids and I’m the breadwinner for my family,” she said. “I have half a paycheck to last me until (Oct. 10) and I don’t what’s going to happen after that.” While Humphrey and Devitt triage their bills and forgo unnecessary expenses, politicians point fingers. “We’ve done everything we can to keep this government funded and we are doing everything we can now, knowing that ubli-we don’t have a Senate or a president who wants to have a conversation with us,” said Libution ount reg-

Ann Humphrey ponders the effects of being furloughed On Oct. 10 and 11, some movement from her government job, as she stands outside of her was made toward a shutdown resolution, Lakewood residence on Oct. 8. Photo by Vic Vela as House Republicans — stinging from national poll numbers that show they are receiving the lion’s share of the blame for the shutdown — began submitting short-term proposals to raise the federal debt ceiling and reopen the government. But ending the shutdown is only one step in the process. Congress still must deal with long-term budget and debt-ceiling issues, something it hasn’t been very good at in recent years. “I hope my Republican colleagues come to their senses, because this is not the way to run anything — a government, a family, a business, anything,” Perlmutter said of Congress’ knack for creating selfimposed crises. “It’s drama, after drama, after drama.” Perlmutter also blasted House Republicans for their reasons behind shutting down the government in the first place, what he sees as an obsession with either crippling or dismantling the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Obamacare is up and running, in spite of Republican efforts to halt it. “These guys continue to want to do something about that, but they’ve lost every time,” he said. But Gardner insists that Republican efforts to derail President Obama’s biggest legislative achievement have to do with ending “unfair” individual mandates on health insurance coverage and getting rid of burdensome taxes placed on medical devices.

“Just because a law is the law doesn’t mean the American public should be burdened with it, if it has components in that are bad,” Gardner said. Gardner also said he pays no attention to polls that show the public has grown tired Congress as a whole, but has soured on Republicans, in particular. “I don’t think anybody ever tried to think that Congress was a popularity contest,” Gardner said. “Whether or not Congress is seen in a good light or a bad light (has to do with) whether we’re doing the right thing for our nation.” While the political back-and-forth continues, lives continue to be affected. “Here I am, trying to do my job and the government lays me off,” Humphrey said. “I don’t want to sound political, but it’s really getting old. I just want to go back to work and do my job.” Devitt had to put an important dental procedure on hold because she didn’t know if she was going to have the money to pay for it. But money is only part of her frustration; there’s also her belief that the public doesn’t fully appreciate the “value” of government employees. But while Devitt believes that “federal servants are often treated like a piñata,” she has no intention of leaving her position for a private-sector job. “What I do is important, whether people see it or not,” she said.

The Englewood Eagles will raise money for cancer research on Oct. 26 by lighting up the area. Kimi Mead is women’s auxiliary president for Eagles Aerie 3241 at 3780 S. Jason St. She said her group wanted to undertake a project to raise money for a charity. She said that since just about every auxiliary member knew someone who was battling cancer, the group made the decision to raise money to support cancer research. “In September, we began talking about how to raise money for cancer research. We finally decided to try to sell bags to go over bulbs in a luminary-like display,” Mead said. “For our fundraiser, we are asking $2 for each bag that will be placed over a lightstring bulb. I have been a little surprised at the response. We have sold more than 100 bags. More are being purchased so we should have a great display.” Bags are still available. To buy a bag, go to the aerie or call 303-762-8107. The aerie will open at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 16, offering a potato and sausage soup dinner for $5 with all proceeds going to the project. The lighting of the project will follow about 7 p.m. “We started working on this in late September and it is going well,” Mead said. “We will send what we raise to the national Fraternal Order of Eagles office because they will provide a match for what we raise.”

S Join effort to combat domestic violence opinions / yours and ours

October is a supercharged month. The media is frantically covering election issues on top of other breaking news. Families are busy, busy. Students are buckling down in their studies and diving into extracurricular activities. School boards and other decisionmaking groups are in full swing. Sports — pro and local — are pulsing everywhere. People are striving toward their goals and working hard. Everything that was in neutral in August is in high gear. This is why it’s important to wave our arms in the air once in a while to suggest a timeout to be aware of ways to help others.

We urge readers to take time to learn more about domestic violence and consider a few statistics available from domesticviolencestatistics.org. • Every nine seconds in the United States a woman is assaulted or beaten. • Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women — more than car accidents, muggings and rapes combined.

• Studies suggest that up to 10 million children witness some form of domestic violence annually. We know the road to recovery for someone suffering domestic violence is long, challenging and costly. Often a woman leaves an abusive spouse numerous times before securing a safe, independent setting. For many women, the hope is that the situation will get better, so they keep trying to work it out. The journey typically involves advocacy services, emergency shelters, transitional housing, support groups and legal advice. Most domestic violence victims are short on resources, and in a situation where a lot of assistance is needed — which is why funding is so important. Further, we know from surveys that domestic violence spikes during sluggish economies. For now, the arc of the

New washing machine leads to wild agitation

Stay focused on goal despite Washington There is a lot of news to fill up the 24-7 media slots this month. Therefore investors fear there is a lot to worry about. It is always a bit unsettling to hear your government went into shutdown mode. What is surprising is that most of the financial markets remain relatively calm so far. The debt ceiling, The Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Fed tapering are just a few items on the table in Washington right now. The debt ceiling may escalate to a default on U.S. government bonds and the bulk of ACA may need to be postponed. The Fed tapering now will be carried out perhaps by the new Fed chairperson, Janet Yellen. Yes there are a lot of changes going on. Let’s see how they are affecting your investments. Whether you hold assets in a retirement plan or an after-tax brokerage account, you have likely noticed that your fixed income investments, namely bonds, are down in value this year. This decline was triggered in May where there was first rumored talk about when the Federal Reserve Board will start to taper off their massive monthly bond purchases. This is surprising to many Wall Street analysts, since the Fed clearly stated over a year ago that they would be transparent in their decision-making process. They would make gradual changes as we approached lower unemployment and higher inflation. There has been no action at the Fed, since neither of these mandates have been met. The sympathetic decline in bond prices, in anticipation of when the Fed does taper, occurred quickly and has not let up much in the last six months. This leaves many bond investors in a quandary as what if anything they should do. The good news is the alter-ego of the bond is the yield, and those are gradu-

ally rising. Therefore if you don’t need to liquidate a bond right now and are enjoying the higher yield then perhaps you can sit tight if your bond positions are high quality and in the right amount for your overall diversification. Eventually, all of this turmoil in Washington will affect economic growth and hence stock prices as well. What is interesting though is that the stock market historically experiences a 10 percent or greater correction about once every 12 months. As of this writing we were only down about 4 percent from record highs showing a fairly calm reaction to Capitol Hill so far. However, since we are overdue for a pullback, the debt ceiling may be a good excuse to trigger one. The equities markets usually move in cycles regardless of the catalyst. This is why sometimes it can be very confusing to investors who hear good economic data and watch stocks decline or hear bad news and the markets rise. It feels like there is no rhyme or reason, which is definitely true in the day-to-day fluctuations. However, over longer-term trends, we do see investors being rewarded for taking measured risk. Volatility comes into the market when there is uncertainty, hence our current state of affairs. Statistics show that even after the Kummer continues on Page 9

I have a new washing machine. I don’t understand it. It is a High Efficiency washing machine, which means it takes five minutes to figure out the composition and scale of the load before a single drop of water enters the tub. It makes noises. It clicks and hums and pauses, and then it pulses and chortles. It wheezes. It sounds like Raymond Burr after a full meal. I had to buy a new machine because my old one decided to have a stroke. I came home one day and found water all over my wood floor. Right now the floorboards are cupping. When the boards crown, the floor will be tested for moisture content, and when it is low enough, it will be sanded and refinished. That will take two days. When my builder’s-grade dishwasher exploded, I had to leave the house for three days. A lot has happened in the wood floor refinishing industry since then. The key word now is “dustless.” When the floor was sanded after the dishwasher’s death, they put up plastic sheeting everywhere, but it didn’t matter. The dust found its way into the living room, upstairs, into closets, everywhere. Being a homeowner is a constant adventure. One thing is repaired or replaced and another needs to be. There are major projects and minor ones. I need a new fence. We all do around here. I live near Cresthill Lane. Some fencing has been replaced and some fencing needs to be, so it is really Eyesore Lane. I moved here in 1993. Some homes in

the subdivision are even older. There are a lot of rentals, and there has been a big turnover. What was verboten by the HOA in 1993 is now commonplace. Those basketball stands, for example. Indoors, I think we have all had to update and replace. I bought my last Maytag in 1993, and it lasted until late summer. If I had the smarts to replace it in mid-summer, I’d still have a wood floor that wasn’t cupping. But it’s kind of like leaving a pitcher in the game one batter too many. And that could be a metaphor for a lot of things, even marriages. You keep hoping it will improve. Instead it gets worse, and acrimonious. I loved my washing machine, if that is possible. I wrote that it was a friend, actually, dependable, and always ready to help out. I needed to take it behind the barn and shoot it. By the way, there is a brand of dog food called Old Yeller. What an awful name. Someone in branding must be a cat lover, Smith continues on Page 9

Start now to plan for success e

Planning for Success This is the time of year where I am having — far conversations and planning sessions with of corporate clients and individuals as we set e expectations, set budgets, and plan for the as success in the coming year. many It seems like this year I am finding myself es in in more of these types of conversations than I have had in previous years. So I started to arn really think about it and questioned myself regarding my own plans for my personal success. I mean if companies can complete their elp plans and budgets months in advance of the ons next year, and I have certain individual clients visit I coach who do the same, why aren’t I better at following my own advice when it comes to planning for success? Like many people I speak with, the planneed ning for our individual success starts to take ce shape around December, with many people waiting until the end of December, like an maybe even New Year’s Eve. How would next

year be different if we took out our notebook or computer and started sketching out our plans, goals, desires, and dreams for next year right now, today? Would this give us time to think through them in more detail, understand what is truly feasible versus what is desirable? I think the answer is yes. My experience in working with companies and individuals has also proven that as we take the time to carefully work through the planning phase, each element of the plan

takes on a life of its own and the thoughts and ideas become inspired and fueled with creative energy. Even though we set plans in place, agree on budgets, and action items, it is still very much an iterative process. This happens as new ideas are formed or changes that may be occurring in the workplace, at home, with the economy or even around the world impact how we see our future and our future successes or achievements. What will 2014 look like for you? What is it that you want to be, do, or have? What will it take to get you there? Who can help you achieve your goals? What are the obstacles in your way? How much are you willing to invest in yourself and in others to meet and exceed your expectations? How much time are you willing to commit? What other resources do you need in order to reach success? I know that sounds like a lot of questions and maybe

even a lot of work, but taken one at a time and over a period of time it becomes so much easier. That is why successful companies and people take planning for success very seriously and start well in advance of the coming year. And many work with consultants or coaches to help bring their plans to life. Dr. Denis Waitley says it this way, “When we plan to win, and prepare to win, then and only then can we expect to win.” How are you doing with planning your own success for 2014? Are you planning and preparing to win? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and as you plan your own success it will be a better than good week.

that point of view, get a fresh dose of God’s acceptance and gain an advantage over their circumstances. The way we do that is to avoid the incorrect patterns and listen to the truth, over and over again. Comparing ourselves to others is the most common mistake that sets us in a bad pattern. There is always somebody with more money, or a loftier status, or better looking or has the most friends and the best opportunities. Some people seem to have all of those things and that can really make us mad because living by comparison always causes us to doubt our worth. Looking for approval of others is another bad pattern because it makes us vulnerable to what other people think of us. Some days that goes pretty good, but we cannot count on somebody else to tell us our lives matter. Some folks don’t feel good about themselves and gain their worth by pulling everyone else down.

Needing to always get it right will drive us crazy if we fall into that pattern. It is good to want to be correct, perform with excellence and never cause anyone pain, but the fact is, we are human and are going to make mistakes. Sometimes it is small and other times it is catastrophic, but either way, it is not the determining factor of whether or not your life matters. My wife found this quote on K-LOVE’s page and reposted it on Facebook. “God, take any doubts I have today and replace them with faith. Any despair, replace with hope. Any darkness, replace with Your light. Any time my thoughts don’t line up with Yours, Lord, show me Truth.” And the truth that we need to hear often, according to God’s revelation in the Scriptures, is “Your life matters.” Dan Hettinger is the founder of The Jakin Group, a ministry of encouragement.

Everyone can know their life matters Everybody can know their life matters. But a lot of people don’t. It is especially tragic when young people take their own lives. Teen suicide has been a problem in our county for a long time, but the pact that a group of girls made recently should sound the alarm that we need to let everyone know that each person is of immeasurable worth and their life matters. A lot of times, living the life that God gave us is not easy. Everybody goes through difficult, painful and disappointing episodes. Failure, loss and rejection are common experiences. For some people, their very existence is defined by suffering and hardship. Depression, abuse and loneliness can push a person over the edge. That becomes dangerous for people who define their life by their circumstances, accomplishments and possessions. Others define their life by who they are — their identity and individuality. They find strength in their understanding of who they are so they can face their circumstances, sometimes enduring them and waiting until they pass and other times facing the challenges and beating them. The most important declaration that your life matters is broadcast throughout the Holy Scriptures and is taught by most of the churches in our town. Before the world was created, God knew your name.

worst of the Great Recession, it still paid for investors to remain calm and fully invested in a well-diversified portfolio. Fidelity Investments conducted a survey that compared balances of 401(k) plan participants nearly three years after the Lehman crisis. Plan participants who dropped their equity allocation to zero between Oct. 1, 2008, and March 31, 2009, and kept it there experienced an average 2 percent increase in their 401(k) account balances through the second quarter of 2011.

were being knit together in your mother’s womb it was by a divine design, which we call DNA. God breathed the breath of life into you when you took your first breath so that you would be alive at this time in history. He wanted you to be alive now so He could invite you into His plan of redemption of this world. Before you were even interested in Him, he died for you for all the wrong you have ever done or will do, then filled you with supernatural abilities by His Spirit so you could make a difference in your world, in your way like nobody else could. When you are finished He promised to come back for you but in the meantime, He is preparing a place for you in Heaven where all the wrongs will be made right, where tears will be wiped away and bad guys won’t even be present.

wind up compounding the problem. I have to buy special detergent for the new washer. There is no agitator in the tub, so it looks kind of odd in there, actually like a dryer. I loaded the new washer exactly as I did the deceased one, and that’s not the way to do it, I found out. If you don’t load evenly with like-clothes (jeans with jeans, towels with towels), the load will be unbalanced in spin, and the sounds it makes are horrendous, and will — and did — scare the dog.

Dillon award, and in 1991 she was voted Littleton’s “Most Valuable Citizen”, an honor that she truly cherished for the rest of her life. She donated over 3000 hours of volunteer time at the Arapahoe Library District from 2000-2007. During her time in Littleton she wrote for both the Littleton Independent and for the Denver post “zone” edition. She served on numerous boards and committees including; “American Women in Radio and Television”, the “Young Musicians Foundation”, and she was appointed as a special advocate as a Guardian Ad Litem for her work with abused children through “Court House Incorporated” (CHINS- now known as Beacon Center) Mary never wanted anyone to mourn her passing, but rather to celebrate her life.

We hope all that knew her can attend.

Big issues at stake in Douglas election Vouchers, pay protocol among controversial reform efforts By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The Douglas County School District is in the midst of what Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen recently called “the most rigorous transformation plan in American public education.” The arguments surrounding that effort are varied, some distinct to nearby Douglas County and others similar to those surrounding education reform nationwide. That makes the Nov. 5 school board election — which could signal a shift in the school board’s direction — the focus of national attention. The race for four seats on the seven-member board features eight candidates, four favoring the board’s reform efforts and four looking for a change in direction. Controversy has surrounded almost every step of the major educational reforms introduced by DCSD, starting with the voucher program in 2011. The many other reform pieces include a redesign of the teachers’ pay-for-performance system first introduced in 1993, and a market-based pay scale believed to be the first in the nation implemented at the K-12 level. District officials and reform supporters say Douglas County is leading the way, with

programs and systems that will serve as a model for other districts across the country as the United States attempts to restore its academic record. The plans also give parents control and choice over their individual child’s education, a role reformers see as logical and appropriate. Some community members who see DCSD as a test case for the nation question the level of research behind and validity of the changes, their implementation, lack of community input, and teacher morale they say is declining in the reforms’ wake. They also question the ultimate goal, with some speculating the current method of reform will lead to socioeconomic segregation and underfunded public schools. Bill Mathis, managing director of the Boulder-based National Education Policy Center, says evidence shows the reforms that date back as far as three decades remain unproven. “The whole set of neo-liberal reforms has not proven itself to be particularly effective,” Mathis said. “The top-down, testbased reform strategies which include privatization have just simply not paid off. The gains have been so small as to be not meaningful from a policy point of view. They certainly don’t close the achievement gap.” Stanford University professor Eric Hanushek says the reforms not only work, they are necessary to ensure the country’s economic future. Hanushek points specifically to two reforms — pay-for-performance and vouchers — he thinks have a positive, combined effect on the quality of education.

“What both of these do is to set up a set of incentives that try to lead you to better teachers,” he said. “Pay-for-performance correctly rewards those that are doing well and doesn’t reward those that aren’t doing as good. “Vouchers are such that if somebody’s in a school and doesn’t feel they’re being served well by the teachers in the school, they have the option to go somewhere else. So there’s an incentive for the schools to try to keep their students by providing betterquality education. Everybody potentially wins — except perhaps the people in the current system that don’t want to change.” Additionally, Hanushek said, “The voucher system is just giving parents more choice, which seems like a sensible idea to many of us.” In Mathis’ eyes, vouchers’ effects have a broader, more concerning effect. “It will not give you much educational improvement if they follow the national record,” he said. “But I’d look out for the segregation effects. What happens is, you get tremendous amounts of socioeconomic segregation that occurs as a result. Affluent children go to schools with other affluent children. Groups segregate by religion and other identifiers. That’s troublesome in a nation in which we have such huge economic disparities. Feeding this type of segregation is not good for democracy.” Hanushek said vouchers present, “a little tendency toward economic segregation, but there’s also great advantage in providing stronger incentives for schools to do better.” Both men acknowledged the reform

movement attracts support from conservative organizations — locally including Americans for Prosperity and the Independence Institute — but they disagree on the reason. “Part of it is ideological in terms of being anti-government,” Mathis said. “Public schools are seen as government where they would prefer a market-based orientation. Also, (reform) is seen by some as defunding education and lowering the profile of government. “If you scratch a little deeper you have to ask questions about who profits by a set of policies that segregate people.” Hanushek believes the interest stems from concern about American student performance falling behind that of other countries. “There’s a group of people and organizations that think we have to do a lot to reform our schools,” he said. Some of their concerns are similar to the views he expresses in his book “Endangering Prosperity: A Global View of the American School.” “The basic message is the future of the country depends upon improving our schools,” he said. “Some of the outside philanthropists believe these institutes — payfor-performance and vouchers — are ways to move the whole nation forward. “All other things being equal, nations that have more pay-for-performance or more choice in schools do better than other nations,” Hanushek said. “I think that there’s a lot of international evidence that supports these reforms as ways to improve schools.”

There was no school at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch Oct. 11, but the halls were full with about 1,100 students from around the state attending the Colorado High School Press Association conference.

Young journalists gather Jack Kennedy, executive director of the Colorado High School Press Association, wasn’t able to use the usual Colorado State University facility for the annual high school conference this year, but he found an opportunity: Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch. So on Oct. 11, about 1,100 students from 50 schools statewide showed

up. Kennedy said the event usually draws around 1,500, but he said one reason for the lower number was the recent floods. He said schools in areas such as Loveland and Estes Park had “other things to worry about.”

In the “Start a Movement” workshop at the Oct. 11 statewide high school journalism conference, Kayleigh Martin and Owen Baldner, seniors at Legacy High School, took the bait when the speaker asked the crowd to be “cool” enough to dance.

Littleton puts off pot decision for another year Retail sales in limbo until October 2014 By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton City Council punted on pot Oct. 1, voting 6-1 to extend the moratorium on retail sales by another year. “It kicks the can down the road for another year, and I’m willing to do that to avoid the risk of anything less,” said Mayor

Debbie Brinkman. Councilor Jim Taylor was the only holdout. “I believe the voters expect us to approve retail sales of marijuana in the city,” he said. “Littleton has a chance to be a leader.” A half-dozen people appeared at the podium to urge council to allow the sales, and one woman implored them to enact a ban. “Say nope to the sales of dope,” was Susan Nies’ rallying cry. She worried the approximately $120,000 in taxes that retail marijuana would raise for the city wouldn’t

be enough to cover what she anticipates would be the resultant increase in crime, accidents and “other collateral damage.” Taylor, on the other hand, thought the money could go a long way toward supporting social amenities like the Omnibus and Littleton Museum. “It doesn’t seem right to ban us before we have a chance to show we can do a good job, to show we can do a professional job,” said James Van Diest, owner of The Hemp Center on Main Street, noting Littleton Police Chief Doug Stephens’ comment during council’s last meeting that there had been no problems associated with any of the city’s four medical marijuana dispensaries. “Kids might get it from their brother, kids might get it from the black market, but they won’t be getting it from legal stores,” he said. Brinkman wasn’t buying that argument. “The schools have said, `Please don’t continue to make this more accessible than it already is. Please don’t continue to desensitize these kids,’” she said. “We are the enemy of many because of the strength of

our school system, and I’m going to listen to them.” Shawn Hauser, director of the marijuana-advocacy organization Sensible Colorado, stressed the 160 pages of regulations retail sellers are subject to, saying it leads to a safer product. “I think if Littleton decides to opt out, it’s opting into the black market,” she said. Councilor Peggy Cole researched how Littleton residents voted on Amendment 64, which legalized recreational use of pot by adults. While 51 percent of the city’s voters supported it, almost all of them live on the north side. Councilors Bruce Beckman and Jerry Valdes suggested a vote of the people might be in order. “The city is definitely split on this,” said Valdes, who represents many of those northern voters. “We were elected to make these kinds of decisions,” said Mayor Pro Tem Stahlman. “I think we abdicate our responsibility if we don’t vote on the ordinance that’s before us.”

Scare up Some

SPOOKY TREATS Metro Creative Connection

Candied Pum

alloween parties are commonplace. Full of frightful decorations and spooky lighting, a good Halloween party also features food that plays up the theme of the evening. Therefore, Halloween party hosts will need to get creative with the type of foods they serve to ensure a “spook-tacular” time. With a little ingenuity, otherwise mundane foods can be transformed into something worthy of a second look. Here are some creative ways to turn ordinary food items into Halloween-inspired fare for your next get-together.

Pumpkin Ice Cream Recipe Ingredients -1 cup canned pumpkin -1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

-1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened -Gingersnaps, optional

Ghosts in the Pumpkin Patch

Using bananas and clementines or small oranges, you can create the appearance of ghosts haunting a field of pumpkins. Peel both the oranges and the bananas and place small chocolate chips into the rounded “head” of the banana to create a ghost face. Use a piece of green gummy candy or something that will hold its shape to create “stems” for the orange pumpkins. Place the ghosts and pumpkins on a platter or in a bowl for a healthy and festive snack.

Witches’ Brew

Create a punch recipe that bubbles and looks like a witch’s evil concoction. Put two quarts of lime sherbet for a green punch (or orange sherbet if you prefer an orange punch) in a punch bowl. Add a two-liter bottle of ginger ale and one can of pineapple juice. Feel free to float “eyeball” peeled grapes or gummy worms in the brew for a more authentic effect. If available, add a piece of dry ice to the punch so it bubbles and fizzes.

Sugar Spiderwebs

Spiders and their sticky webs go hand-in-hand with Halloween. Create spiderwebs that can be used to adorn cookies and cupcakes and give them an extra scary flair. Use a template of a spiderweb and place this template under a piece of waxed paper to serve as your guide. Use store-bought or homemade royal icing to pipe out the shape of the spiderweb on top of the waxed paper. Allow to dry until completely hardened, then peel off the paper. Repeat the process for as many spiderwebs as you need. You can use these spiderwebs as garnish for a variety of baked goods, or they can be eaten on their own.

Directions In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin and pie spice until well blended. Stir in ice cream. Freeze until serving. Garnish with gingersnaps if desired. Yield: 4-6 servings.

Autumn Stew Recipe -1/2 cup all-purpose flour -1/2 teaspoon salt -1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided -2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes -2 tablespoons butter

Ingredients -2 tablespoons canola oil -1 large onion, chopped -2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced -3 medium carrots, thinly sliced -2 celery ribs, thinly sliced

Common Sense group digging in Hoped-for political party has focus on collaboration By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com The grassroots political party envisioned by John Brackney and Brian Vogt is edging toward becoming more visible. “I’m ready for something to happen,” said Andrew Graham, a member of Littleton’s planning board. “I’m ready to pick an issue, I’m ready to pick a person, I’m ready to pick a fight.” Longtime friends and cohorts, Brackney succeeded Vogt as the president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, where he remains today. Vogt went on to head up Denver Botanic Gardens. But

they stress that this group, Common Sense Citizens, is not a chamber effort, but was born of their personal frustration with the debilitating effects of today’s extreme polarization in politics. Joining them as organizers are Graham, John Vachalek and Patrick Pratt. “Instead of sending problem-solvers and negotiators to Washington, we often send adherents and pledge-signers, people who refuse to compromise for fear that they will lose the support they need to keep a job that has become less respected and less impactful,” they write on their Meetup page. “It is no wonder we are in a mess, one which will grind the genius of America into mediocrity.” Written in January, that comment portends the federal government shutdown, a hot topic during the group’s Oct. 12 meeting

at the Littleton Center. Members were unified in their dismay, using words like shameful, repulsive and tired. “I think it illustrates the problem we have with society as a whole,” said Paul Schauer, a former Republican state legislator. “You reach an impasse. It’s a matter of how do we get to the greatest good for the greater number. I have the same problem with the far right as I have with the far left. They want control of your life on their terms.” Graham agreed, saying Washington needs more independent thinkers. “I think that person would be the most powerful person in Washington, if his vote was beholden to no one except his own conscience,” he said. Brackney said Common Sense needs to start gearing up for the 2014 elections now,

identifying core values and pushing them out to the public via e-books, TED videos or whatever medium they decide works best. Subcommittees are working on establishing a common voice for the group, which now includes 98 members on its Meetup page. They span personal, professional and political spectrums: young, old and in between; Democrats, Republicans and unaffiliateds; attorneys, students, entrepreneurs and politicians. Common bonds in the group include dissatisfaction with a broken system, a desire to bridge gaps, concern about the economy and valuing a grassroots, local approach. “People have to say, ‘You know what, you can trust those guys,’ when we get out and start taking action,” said Pat Perlinger.

Vote could occur amid lingering controversy Willowcroft brouhaha left bad taste for some By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews. com With the Willowcroft controversy still swirling through the Town of Columbine Valley, Mayor Gale Christy wants residents to separate that issue from another that will soon face the community. “The petition calling for a referendum vote on the Willowcroft rezoning and plan, if it indeed goes to election in Columbine Valley, should be voted on with factual knowledge and actual conditions, not on rumor or misleading information,” he said. On the other side of town from Willowcroft sits the 103-acre Tuck property. It’s currently being scoped out by developers, and town clerk JD McCrumb expects a proposal to be on the table sometime next year. Citizens pushing to overturn the board of trustee’s recent decision on Willowcroft fear it sets a precedent for higher densities that could affect what’s allowed on Tuck. “If they acted in this way on this project, when it clearly runs counter to the guidelines of the master plan, what reason is there to think that they will not do the same for every other future development in our town, such as (the Tuck farm)?” said Brian Macauley, who led the petition drive requiring the trustees to revisit their decision, which was set to happen Oct. 15. “The residents need to send a clear message to the trustees that this will not be allowed. The trustees must respect the long-term vision of our town.” But Christy notes the two sites are in vastly different neighborhoods, with Willowcroft adjacent to Town Hall and Bowles Avenue, across from a shopping center and an office park and surrounded by higher density than most of the town. Tuck, on the other hand, is surrounded by low density, South Platte Park and the equestrian center.

“A precedent will not come into play as the Tuck property plans are being considered by the planning and zoning commission and the board of trustees, in my opinion and in the opinion of the town’s professional planner,” Christy said. The town’s master plan technically limits maximum density to 2.4 units per acre, less than the 2.95 that developer Taylor Morrison proposes for Willowcroft. The company plans 41 singlestory patio homes and one large estate home for the nearly 10-acre site. But Christy points out that the master plan allows for higher density if the project provides other benefits for the community. Taylor Morrison is making improvements to the intersection at Bowles and Middlefield Road and preserving 25 percent of its land as open space, among other things. Garrett Baum of Taylor Morrison has said if the patio homes are rejected, the company will probably build two-story family dwellings instead, which he says would increase population and traffic even more. Christy did express some regret that the company tore down the historic manor that once sat on the land, almost immediately after the trustees approved the project. “We would have preferred that it not be demolished, but we don’t have a historic-preservation ordinance in Columbine Valley, so there was nothing we, as a board, could do except talk to the owners,” he said. “I’ve talked to all of them about preserving it. They all would have preferred to preserve it, but they said it just wasn’t cost-effective for them.” During the October meeting, the trustees can either repeal the rezone, sending the developer back to the drawing board, or let the town’s voters have the final say by setting a date for a special election sometime in December, January or February. “It is my hope that we can get this done as quickly as possible, and hold the election before the end of this year,” said McCrumb.

Fiber sale looms Weavers’ Guild to set up shop in Englewood By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com As one stands in the doorway of the Community Room at Englewood’s Civic Center, a blast of colors and textures meets the eye. Nubby woven shawls and jackets, sleek painted silk scarves, whimsical knitted hats, handsome table runners and small rugs, one-of-a-kind woven baskets, bright socks and mittens, linen and cotton towels and table linens and a table of holiday ornaments stand out. Knitters may be drawn to brightly colored alpaca yarn. It’s time for the Annual Rocky Mountain Weavers’ Fiber Arts Sale, a truly unique once-a-year event that offers contemporary products created through traditional craft techniques. Near the door, a member of the Rocky Mountain Weavers’ Guild may be demonstrating with a loom or spin-

creative family and recalls an experience while traveling in Norway where four women were knitting on intricately patterned sweaters and chatting a mile a minute. How in the world could they do that? An interest in fibers developed. A career in international trade and consultation with cross-cultural businesses followed and finally fizzled. She enrolled at the former Skyloom Fibers in Denver and learned to weave. She teaches at Recycled Lamb in Lakewood, at Lakewood’s Washington Heights Art Center and for the Wednesday Weavers, who meet at Augustana Lutheran Church. She also dyes yarn for Recycled Lamb and Treenway silks. She started weaving on a rigid heddle loom and graduated to a four-shaft loom, then to a 10-shaft Macomber — plus eight others in her studio. “There is a refuge in making things,” Bliss said. Meet her and other fine craftspeople at the Fiber Arts Sale. And perhaps score the perfect gift for someone near and dear — or for yourself.

‘Mestizo’ opens at Su Teatro Concert/play based on album from 1973 By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ ourcoloradonews.com In Denver, we were well aware of the Chicano civil rights movement, so the concert/play inspired by singer/songwriter Daniel Valdez’s album “Mestizo” should be of interest to many local theater lovers. A nationally recognized artist, Valdez is artist in residence at Su Teatro Cultural and Performing Arts Center in the Santa Fe Arts District through a grant. He will sing songs from the album, and the play created around it is written by longtime Su Teatro director and play-

wright Anthony J. Garcia. “Mestizo,” which runs through Oct. 27, pictures the move“Mestizo” plays m e n t through Oct. 27 at Su as seen Teatro, 721 Santa Fe through Drive, in Denver’s Santa the eyes of Fe Arts District.

You can paint the town pink this month in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month with several pink promotions going on that will encourage you to buy pink, think pink, eat pink or drink pink. Here are some local spots that are thinkin’ pink: Sage Restaurant Group’s Denver-area eateries are having various deals to take a bite out of breast cancer. Throughout the month of October each restaurant will offer pink doughnuts where a portion of proceeds from each doughnut sold will benefit the Denver affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. • Second Home Kitchen + Bar, 150 Clayton Lane: doughnut holes with pomegranate glaze. • Kachina Southwestern Grill, 10600 Westminster Blvd.: Pink Chocolate Beignets with White Chocolate Crème Anglaise. Kachina also features the Prickly Pixie with $1 from each drink sold this month going to Susan G.

Drink pink

Chef Richard Sandoval’s restaurants, Zengo, La Sandia and Tamayo, are honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month in partnership with the Susan G. Komen Foundation by donating $1 from the featured drink, Pink Ribbon Agua Fresca, which will be offered through Oct. 31 for $4. Made with fresh watermelon, this traditional Mexican non-alcoholic drink is refreshing and filled with antioxidants. This beverage is one of Sandoval’s favorites since it was a beverage that was served at his grandmother’s dining room table. It’s a drink that not only honors one of the most important women in his life but it also pays homage to his Mexican roots.

Bras for the cause

Infiniti of Denver (ironically located at 2990 S. Havana St. in Aurora) will donate $50 from every clear “bra” (the kind cars wear) purchased in October and November to Sense of Security. Visit www. senseofsecurity.org.

Discussion will look at photographs, oil paintings, and other framed media. Free and open to the public.

Book eyes small town in wartime Centennial writer spent girlhood in Nebraska By Sonya Ellingboe

Artists meet ‘spirit’ challenge By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Artist members of the Littleton Fine Arts Guild, who operate and exhibit at the historic Depot Arts Gallery, 2069 W. Powers Ave., Littleton, entered a new show that challenged them to “express your artistic spirit.” The intent of the challenge was to encourage long-practicing artists to try new techniques in their specialized fields — in materials, style, technique, etc. … The resulting exhibit, “Artistic Spirit,” which runs through Nov. 10, was juried by Denver artist and teacher Patricia Barr Clark, a plein air watercolorist who has painted around the world. She belongs to the Colorado Watercolor Society and the Plein Air Artists of Colorado.

Clark awarded “Best of Show” to Lynette Wilson for her oil painting “Next in Line” and First Place to Pat Dall for her ink-resist watercolor “Ink Resist Pots.” Fred Bickle won second place for his brushwork-intense acrylic painting “Weathered” and third place went to Sally Van Der Kamp for her stained-glass creation “Rocky Mountain Spirit.” Honorable mentions were awarded to Renee Zaccardi, Jennifer Riefenberg and Lynne Furrer.

if you go The Depot Art Gallery is at 2069 W. Powers Ave., north of the old courthouse and Buck Recreation Center in Littleton. It is operated by volunteer members of the Littleton Fine Arts Guild. Hours: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays.

While Centennial writer Nancy Peterson says “Not to Be Forgiven” is not really her personal story, she did grow up in Scottsbluff, Neb. (a first grader when Pearl Harbor was attacked), and wanted to create a picture of a small town and its response to the war. “I wanted readers to know how people sacrificed and worked together,” she said. “I wanted to recreate that time — the small town, with soldiers on the street.” Although she had moved away, she and her husband, also a native, moved back to Scottsbluff when their three sons were teens and “got to talking.” Gradually the idea formed for this book. She said she saw the title phrase for her book “out in the country” on a fence and it stayed with her. After majoring in English and journalism at the University of Nebraska, as a young mother she began freelancing. “I wanted something to do at home,” she recalls. Her first published piece was a short story in a church magazine in 1968. The family lived near Arapahoe Road and she wrote for the Englewood Herald and Aurora Sentinel, the Empire magazine and other regional and national magazines. “I did a lot of traveling on the Great Plains.” Her previous historic book titles include “Walking in Two Worlds,” “People of the Moonshell” (a history of the South Platte River and people who lived near it), “People of the Troubled Water” and “People of the Old Missury.” The novel centers on a family. A young girl, Sis, is the narrator, and the story unfolds through her eyes. Her father is editor of the local newspaper, always trying to stay on top of developing local stories in a time before cell phones and computers. Peterson talked with editors of the Englewood Herald and Littleton Independent about how they produced the news in the

period. Sis’ adored older brother enlists and writes from the war front, recalling the horrors he witnesses. Her mother adds reporting duties to her role as a homemaker. Peterson said some details are from her childhood, such as growing a Victory Garden, joining a community effort to harvest the potato crop, recycling cans, 25-cent savings stamps. She spoke of prejudice against a Japanese-American family who ran a café and a German family’s grocery, where a window was broken. And ”Not to Be Forgiven,” a there was a Gerhistorical novel set in the days man prisoner of war camp of World War II, was written by at Scottsbluff, Nancy Peterson of Centennial, which also plays previously of Englewood. a part in her Courtesy image story. The narrative is well crafted and details incidents such as the blackout drill, held in many locations across the U.S., in preparation for possible bombing attacks, dilemmas over rationing — could the family get enough gas to drive to Denver for a reunion with the brother before he shipped out? How could Sis make her worn-out shoes last until she had a ration coupon for another pair? In conclusion, the book sends out a strong message about what happens when people learn to hate. “It’s real,” Peterson said. Her book is available at her website, nancympeterson.com and through Amazon and Barnes and Noble, she said. Libraries are ordering it. On Nov. 10, she and author Barbara Wright will speak at the Denver Women’s Press Club, 1325 S. Logan, about writing historical novels.

Poe’s literary legacy portrayed By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The Victorian Byers-Evans House Museum’s library offers a suitably spooky atmosphere for its resident theater company to offer a Halloween-appropriate production each year. For 2013, the company’s choice is “Evermore” by Gary Wright in a regional premiere Oct. 18 to Nov. 16. Directed by Ed Berry, it is set in October 1849. Edgar Allan Poe has died recently and his literary executor is compiling Poe’s works for posthumous publication. Dr. Griswold and Poe’s mother-in-law Maria Clemm remember the writer’s fi-

nal years, filled with love, hate, loss and literature. The script includes Poe’s bestknown tales and poems woven in with the dialogue. Included in the cast is Town Hall Arts Center’s education director Seth Maisel as Poe.

Peter Kim, 4, of Highlands Ranch, picks out a pumpkin at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch. All proceeds of St. Luke’s annual pumpkin sales go to help fund youth mission trips. The pumpkin patch is open daily through Oct. 31. Photos by Ryan Boldrey have the opportunity to climb aboard a haunted hayride at Plum Creek Stables, 7479 W.

If you want to take a spooky ride through the backcountry to catch a film, hayrides will shuttle guests from the Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Center off Santa Fe Boulevard to the site of the screen in the woods at 6 p.m. Oct. 28 and 29. The first night will be a family night, featuring Disney’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” while the second night the feature will be “The Village.” Both nights will include marshmallow roasting and s’mores after the movie.

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A bid for you to step in and take over an incomplete project could prove to be an excellent learning experience that you can take with you when a new opportunity opens up. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for socializing, both with family and with friends. Your aspects also favor developing new relationships, any or all of which might become especially meaningful. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your success in handling a recent difficult situation prompts a request to handle another workplace problem. But this is one you should accept only if you get all of the relevant facts.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to July 22) New information about a past decision raises some unsettling questions from an old friend. Be prepared to explain your actions fully and, if necessary, to make adjustments. LEO (July 23 to Aug 22) This is not a good time to share personal secrets, even with someone you’ve known for a long while. What you don’t reveal now won’t come back to haunt you later. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Pushing yourself to meet a project deadline is admirable. But be careful not to leave out important details in your rush to complete your work and send it off. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Watch that you don’t take on more than you can handle when offering to help someone with a personal problem. There might be hidden factors you weren’t told about. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) That major move you’ve been considering could come sooner than you expected. Make sure you’ll be ready with the facts you need when decision time arrives. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Languishing relationships can benefit from a break in routine. Get out of the rut and do something new and maybe more than a little unpredictable this weekend. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Although you don’t think of yourself as a role model, your ability to make a tough decision at this time sets an example for others, who admire your courage. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) You need to move any remaining obstacles out of your way before you can take on a new challenge. Seek advice from close, trusted friends and associates. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A career change appears increasingly likely to happen during the next several weeks. It’s a good idea to start now to prepare, so you can be ready to make the move when the time comes.

Rotary honors longtime Littleton physician Bortz started free clinic, still volunteers there By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com If you’re alive in the city of Littleton, chances are good that Dr. Alan Bortz has had something to do with keeping you that way. “I feel like I’m standing with the Bon Jovi of medicine,” said Dave Partheymuller, president of Littleton Rotary, upon declaring Bortz an honorary Rotarian Oct. 8. Dozens of Rotarians and friends of Bortz gathered at Columbine Country Club to see him receive the club’s Distinguished Service Award in recognition of more than 50 years of good works in the community. They say he earned the award because he’s lived a life exemplifying the right answers to the club’s four-way test: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned? Bortz, 85, not only founded the Littleton Clinic, he still returns there once a week to donate his services to anyone who needs them, regardless of their ability to

Dr. Alan Bortz accepts the Distinguished Service Award from Rotary President Dave Partheymuller during an Oct. 9 celebration. Photo courtesy of Rick Clark pay. His colleagues say he’s more than just a physician; he’s a healer with an intuitive and gentle talent. “Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens, and my dad does

both,” daughter Patty Bortz told the audience. Rick Hale, the first chief executive officer of Littleton Adventist Hospital, says Bortz was integral

in its creation. Having heard good things about him from community members, Hale first turned to Bortz to be his personal doctor, then to lead the hospital’s original

medical team. Bortz, 85, graduated third in his class from the New York University School of Medicine. He interned at the University of Michigan Hospital, then moved to Littleton and opened his private practice, Littleton Internal Medicine Associates, in 1960. He officially retired in 2007, but he hasn’t slowed down a bit. When he’s not at the clinic or helping sort medical supplies at Project CURE, he can often be found on the tennis court — usually winning, say his friends and family. “He’s possibly the sweetest man on the planet, but something comes over him when he steps onto the tennis court,” laughed son Rick Bortz. Rick and Patty Bortz both say he’s not just a great doctor, but the greatest dad they could have hoped for. They call him fair, intelligent, gentle, nonjudgmental and devoted. “You get frustrated because you can’t give your patients what they need and what they want, but what you give is enormous,” said Patty Bortz to her father. “You always see their sweet spot, and I am convinced you don’t know how to speak badly of others.”

Fertilizer: arch enemy of waterways. Streams, lakes and reservoirs don’t need it. Your lawn may not need it, either. Fertilizer, like other products that serve a necessary purpose, can become a problem if misused. Most lawn fertilizers contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, represented by a three-number string on the front of the bag. Nutrient needs vary from lawn to lawn and can only be determined by testing the soil. If over-applied, rain carries away excess nutrients not needed by plants and washes them to the nearest waterway, causing excess algae growth that uses up vital oxygen for fish. Please take the time to have your soil tested to determine your lawn’s needs. This simple, small change in your lawn care makes a huge difference, not only to the health of your lawn but also to your nearby rivers, creeks and lakes.

Local talent gets wacky in follies Comics, singer, circus performers strut stuff By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com We’d like to assure the attendees of the Pumpkin Follies and Goat Show Oct. 11 that it was not just some bizarre dream, it really happened. There really was a talking Mona Lisa, complete with picture frame and Adam’s apple. Captain Kirk did indeed walk through the crowd seeking Mr. Spock. Perhaps you dined on Devils on Horseback. The voices of Joan Rivers, Shrek and Donkey, Miss Piggy and the Pillsbury Dough Boy actually emanated from a man who looked more like Larry the Cable Guy than any of those characters. There really were two little pygmy goats chomping on hay and whatever else they could get their teeth on. Greg Reinke really did tell you to put a plastic cup on your head, then proceed to blast it off by smacking the bottom of a trash can filled up with fog. However, Dave Drake did not actually learn to juggle knives as his birthday surprise. “You really think Greg Reinke’s insurance

For a kid who said he was scared of heights, Louie Rogers, 10, helped Becca Smith put on quite a performance at the 2013 Pumpkin Follies and Goat Show Oct. 11. Photo by Jennifer Smith would cover you learning to juggle a razorsharp butcher knife?” emcee Paul Burillo asked Drake before handing him some tennis balls. Drake didn’t actually juggle those, either.

Littleton’s oddest talent show happened in a tent in the parking lot at Reinke Bros. Halloween and Costume Store, accompanied by music from the Dave Frisk Band and delectable small plates from Granny

SBDC Executive Director Puts on New Hat (or wig) Our own Marcia McGilley, Executive Director for the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and the Aurora satellite SBDC office , will be moonlighting over the next month as the mysterious spirit medium Madam Asta in The Edge Theater Company production of Spirits of Suspicion. When not helping small businesses thrive, McGilley has performed as a professional actor for over 24 years appearing in TV and radio commercials, film, stage and improv comedy. A comic tribute to the THIN MAN

movies, Spirits of Suspicion finds Dick and Dora Charles invited to a séance at the Top Hat Club, owned by Dick’ s old friend Bunny. Bunny wants to contact her murdered husband, Rocky - a gangster who supposedly hid a million dollars somewhere in the club. But the séance goes awry as a female patron of the club becomes possessed by both Rocky and the female singer who was murdered along with him. Dick and Dora face off to see who can be the first to solve Rocky’s murder and where the missing million dollars are in this 1940s

Ma’s (the devils are actually bacon-wrapped dates). Misha Johnson played her pygmy-goatsize guitar, otherwise known as a ukulele, and sang original songs in a unique, sweet voice. One was an ode to Amelia Earhart that was written using only words found in Earhart’s autobiography. “Nighttime flying with Amelia, adventure and possibility endless, courage and anticipation pave the way to new worlds when you’re nighttime flying with Amelia,” sang Johnson. Circus performer Becca Smith made little Louie Rogers, 10, a star by handing him a jump rope, convincing him to climb on her shoulders and then swing the rope for her to jump over. For a little boy who said he was afraid of heights, it was quite an accomplishment if not a total success. “There’s a little saying I learned when I came to Littleton, Colorado, and that’s `Good enough,’” laughed Smith. Perhaps the highlight of the evening was the announcement of the winner of the pumpkin-pole contest. It was “Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland,” on the corner of Main and Nevada streets — not just because it was creative, intricate and showed good use of pumpkins, but because its creators were the only ones to bribe the judge, offering up a mug of delicious cider.

The Wells are not operated pursuant to any other decreed plans. 9. List all proposed uses: The pumping rate claimed for each of the Wells is 1,000 gpm (2.23 cfs), CONDITIONAL. The annual amount claimed is 800 acre-feet, CONDITIONAL, for each well. Water diverted from the Wells will be used for industrial, commercial, oil and gas development and production, dust suppression and other related purposes generally in portions of Townships 3, 4, 5 and 6, Ranges 64 and 65. Such uses will be fully consumptive. A map showing the general location of the Wells and place of use is attached as EXHIBIT A. SECOND CLAIM: PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION 10. Names of structures to be augmented: The BCP Well Nos. 1-4. The structures have not been decreed, and a conditional water right for each well is claimed in this case as described above. There are no other water rights diverted from the Wells. All relevant information is provided in the First Claim above. 11. Water rights to be used for augmentation: Applicant will rely on augmentation water delivered by the Town of Wiggins pursuant to the Amended Water Conveyance and Operating Agreement dated September 11, 2013, a copy of which is attached as EXHIBIT B. Wiggins currently owns or has the right to acquire approximately 27 shares in the Weldon Valley Ditch Company, and may acquire more shares in the future. The augmentation water will primarily consist of fully consumable water from the senior direct flow water right and recharge rights represented by those shares. The senior direct flow water right was originally decreed to the Weldon Valley Ditch on November 21, 1895, in Case No. 433, District Court for Weld County, in the amount of 165 cfs for irrigation with an appropriation date of October 26, 1881. Wiggins is also entitled to a pro rata share of recharge accretions from the Weldon Valley Ditch decreed on November 5, 2008, in Case No. 02CW377, Water Division 1. The source of water for the senior direct flow and recharge water rights is the South Platte River. Those water rights are decreed for diversion through the Weldon Valley Ditch headgate located on the north bank of the South Platte River in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 13, T4N, R61W, 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The Wiggins water rights may be delivered directly to the South Platte River through one or more augmentation stations on the Weldon Valley Ditch or delivered as accretions to the River through one or more recharge structures located along the Ditch IN Weld or Morgan County. Wiggins may also deliver return flows from its treated water system and reusable effluent from its wastewater treatment plant to the South Platte River. Such water will be exchanged up the South Platte River to the diversion point for a recharge pond proposed to be constructed near the confluence of Box Elder Creek and the South Platte River at the location described below, or to the point of depletion on the river from diversion of water from wells into that pond. Applicant also requests approval of a procedure to allow the addition of other water rights decreed for augmentation purposes pursuant to procedures described in Section 37–92–305(8)(c), C.R.S. 12. Will any water rights be changed to provide a source of augmentation? Applicant does not propose to change any water rights in this case. The Weldon Valley Ditch water rights to be delivered by Wiggins will only be used for augmentation in this case if they have been changed to allow augmentation use pursuant to one or more separate water court decrees or approved substitute water supply plans. A total of 10.4 shares have already been changed to allow use for irrigation, augmentation, replacement, recharge, and exchange in Case No. 04CW90. Wiggins has pending or is filing separate applications to change the Weldon Valley Ditch water rights represented by all 27 shares to allow municipal use by Wiggins, including augmentation of out of priority depletions caused by the BCP Wells, the wells proposed for delivery of water to the BCP Recharge Structure, and the Wiggins municipal wells, through various means of recharge and delivery to the South Platte River. Replacement will be limited to water from the changed 10.4 shares until additional shares have been approved for such use by the Weldon Valley Ditch Company and by the water court or State Engineer. 13. Complete statement of plan for augmentation. Applicant will divert water from the Wells for the purposes and amounts described above primarily for oil and gas development and production and related uses pursuant to contract with Select Energy Services and/or other entities. The water pumped from the Wells will be fully consumed. All out-of-priority depletions from such use will be replaced using the sources identified in paragraph 12 in the time, amount, and location needed to prevent injury to vested water rights. The wells are located approximately 18 miles or more above the normally live stream segment on Box Elder Creek. As a result, stream depletions from pumping the Wells will be significantly delayed and spread out over many years. Applicant estimates that after full proposed use of the Wells, maximum annual stream depletions to the

As a result, stream depletions from pumping the Wells will be significantly delayed and spread out over many years. Applicant estimates that after full proposed use of the Wells, maximum annual stream depletions to the South Platte River will be approximately 66 acre-feet per year.

Pirates search for soccer win Young Englewood team falls to Weld Central By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood pressed the attack but wasn’t able to put the ball into the net Oct. 10 as the Pirates lost the league soccer game to Weld Central, 2-0. “We knew coming in this would be a building season after losing so many seniors in June,” Pirates coach Chris Kavinsky said after the game. “We had seniors graduate who had played two or three seasons together, plus we didn’t have a JV team for a couple years, which means so many of our kids have no varsity soccer experience.” The Pirates still have a couple chances

to get their second win of the season. They were on the road Oct. 15 against a Fort Morgan team that has an 8-4-1 season record. Englewood closes out the season at home Oct. 17 against Elizabeth. The Cardinals come into the week 3-9-1. On Oct. 11, the Weld Central team used ball control and speed to set the tempo of the game. The Rebels put a number of shots on goal before scoring the first goal of the game in the first half. The Pirates battled hard and picked up the pace in the second half. They took several shots on goal, but either the ball went wide or the Mustang goalie caught it. Weld Central added a second-half score and won the game, 2-0. “We haven’t focused on our record this season. Instead, we focused on growing and becoming a better soccer team,” Kavinsky said. “We have seen a lot of growth over the

past few weeks. We have seen a lot of things we can continue to build on this season and will be a foundation for future teams.” He said the fact that Englewood has a junior varsity team for the first time in several years is another plus for the boys soccer program. “We like the fact the kids are gaining game experience and going out against every opponent and fighting to get that muchneeded win,” Kavinsky said. “We have been close a couple times, but a couple mistakes snowballed and we fell short.” Senior Connor Shearrer said the game against Weld Central was a tough battle and there was a lot of physical play. “I think we gave a good effort tonight,” he said. “But we didn’t do a good job with completing the passes and we didn’t do a real good job of following the coach’s instructions.”

He said the biggest change this year is there are more players on the roster. He said he is glad to say, for the first time in two years, the Pirates have enough players to field both a varsity and a junior varsity team. Shearrer said he is a defender and he feels one of the Pirates’ strengths is the play of the defense while the team continues working to improve its midfield play and its attack. The senior plays defense but said he will play any place the coach put him. He added that, while soccer is his favorite sport, he also runs cross country in the fall and runs track in the spring. He acknowledged this is a young team and, although he will not be part of it, it is his hope the Pirates soccer team will improve to be stronger and more competitive next season.

Englewood looks to snap losing streak Homecoming could end string of three losses By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Englewood High School football team seeks to rebound from three consecutive one-sided defeats when they take the field Oct. 18 in the homecoming game against Weld Central. “We need a win,” Pirates coach Jay Graves said. “We have had three games in a row against very good football teams. Our kids battled but each of the teams outclasses us and we made too many

young-team mistakes. Now, we need to regroup and focus on the game against Weld Central, a team we should match up with.” Statistically, Weld Central and Englewood match up well. The Rebels have a 3-3 record and the Pirates are 3-4 on the season. Also, the Rebels are scoring 24.7 points a game and Englewood is averaging 21.4 points a game. Wayne Arnold is the leading rusher for Weld Central, averaging 85 yards a game, while the Pirates’ rushing leader is Nick Bersagel, who is averaging 94 yards a game. The kickoff for the EnglewoodWeld Central contest is 7 p.m. Oct. 18 and the game will be played in

the Englewood High School Stadium. It is the Pirates’ homecoming game, so the royalty will be presented at halftime and the king and queen crowned as part of the festivities. Things didn’t go well for the Pirates Oct. 11 as they lost to rival Elizabeth, 47-6. “We played well in the first quarter, but then we made way too many mistakes to even hope to challenge Elizabeth,” Graves said. “We turned the ball over six times and you can’t do that and expect to defeat a good football team.” However, he said he was en-

couraged by the fact his athletes continued to battle and play hard even when the Cardinals scored the points to put the game out of reach. Englewood put together a good first-quarter drive that took them to the Elizabeth 10-yard line but it fizzled when the Pirates fumbled and the Cardinals recovered. Elizabeth then scored a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter and added two more touchdowns in the second quarter to take control of the game. The Pirates got their only points in the second quarter on a hidden-ball trick. The play had quarterback Isiah Mestas put the

ball into the stomach of Justin Wade and then fake a handoff to Nick Bersagel, who appeared to run a sweep around the left end. Defenders were fooled by the fake and moved to stop what appeared to be a run wide around the left side of the formation. As the play developed, Wade stood still and bent over to hide the football. When everyone moved to fake sweep, Wade took off to the right and ran for a touchdown. The extra-point try failed and ended the Pirates scoring. However, Elizabeth got seven points in the third period and added 12 points in the final period to win the game, 47-6.

to championship Creek casts long shadow in prep tennis By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Decades ago Cherry Creek’s boys tennis team was nicknamed The Red Train Express. Years have passed and not many people use the tag to identify the Bruins any longer, but Cherry Creek continues to dominate Colorado high school boys tennis. The Bruins set a state tournament record with 98 points and swept all seven finals matches in capturing the Class 5A boys state tennis championship in the tournament held Oct. 10-12 at Gates Tennis Center in Denver. It was the third consecutive state title for the Bruins and the 39th in the past 43 years. It marked the first time in 15 seasons that a team won all seven championship matches, and the Bruins were the last team to do that in the 1998 tournament. “It’s been quite a run,” said Cherry Creek coach Art Quinn. Fairview, which trailed Creek 77-69 going into the final day, lost five of seven head-to-head finals matches to the Bruins. The Knights collected four points in playback matches and wound up in second place with 73 points. Mountain Vista finished third with 46 points, the highest finish ever for a Highlands Ranch team in the state tournament. Chaparral was honored with the sportsmanship award. Quinn, an assistant coach for the past six seasons, took over the head coaching reins at Creek in late August from Kirk Price who was placed on an indefinite leave. “So many things happened since the beginning of the year,” recalled Quinn. “My

hat’s off to the seniors that were leaders, the freshman who provided energy and everyone in between from parents, players and coaches. “It’s a special group of kids. This was my first year as head coach. It’s a large, wonderful freshman class that will learn to be leaders. It’s the beginning of something great.” Eleven Creek players won first-place medals and added their names to the Bruins’ long list of individual state champions. In 43 years of state tennis competition, Cherry Creek has crowned 303 individual state champions. The 2013 state champions from Creek were senior Zach Fryer at No. 1 singles, senior Connor McPherson at No. 2 singles and freshman Ethan Hillis at No. 3 singles. Junior Harshil Dwivedi and senior Jake Miller captured the No. 1 doubles title while sophomore Erin Norwood and senior Matt Gross were the No. 2 doubles champs. Junior Teller Hoskins and senior Ben Schlichting won at No. 3 doubles and the freshman duo of Jacob Bendaline and Wyatt Dale earned the No. 4 doubles first place medal. Fryer, who played in USTA national events last season, won his third state championship and this season at No. 1 singles with a 6-4, 6-4 triumph over Fairview’s Ignatius Castelino. “I love the atmosphere here, and then to help the team as well,” said Fryer. “It’s a lot different than playing USTA tournaments because it’s all individual. Here you have your team behind you and supporting you and you also want to win for your team because you don’t want to let them down.” Fryer, who took a medical timeout between sets to have his ankle wrapped, fell behind 2-1 in the second set but used accurate forehand shots and won service in the 10th game to win the match. “I remember from playing him in a match earlier in the season I made a lot of

Photo by Jim Benton shots and eventually I wore him down and he started making a few more errors,” added Fryer. “That was exactly where I wanted to be, serving it out. I tried to make a lot of first serves to put some pressure on him.” McPherson defeated Mountain Vista freshman Ben Antonsen, 6-1, 6-2, to secure his fourth state title. The left-hander won at No. 3 doubles as a freshman and sophomore and took the No. 2 singles crown last year. “I felt like I played great,” he said. “I had to play good. He was a worthy opponent.” Dwivedi and Miller were also repeat winners. Dwivedi was part of the state champion No. 4 doubles team last season and Miller won at No. 2 doubles. Antonsen’s runner-up finish paced a strong showing from Mountain Vista. The Golden Eagles had six individuals collect fourth-place medals. Vignesh Senthivel was fourth in No. 1 singles, Michael Shin at No. 3 singles, Vamsi Senthivel and Austin Gruszczynski at No. 1 doubles and Enzo Ortiz and Kobe Holdren at No. 3 doubles. “I’m very proud,” said Mountain Vista coach Jim Flanigan, who was once an assistant coach at Cherry Creek. “Third place is very good. It definitely helped that we won our regional. We got that second-place finisher in every regional, which let our nerves get out of the way a little bit. We had a lot of matches we could win early on and they took care of the matches they could win. “When we got to Creek you saw the juggernaut that is Creek. I mean, they beat

everybody. I wish we could have had a few more matches against Fairview but that’s just the way the brackets worked out. It seemed like we were playing Creek in a lot of the semifinals.” Results from the Class 5A state tennis tournament held at Gates Tennis Center: Team scores — Cherry Creek 98, Fairview 73, Mountain Vista 46, Regis Jesuit 22, Chatfield 20, Fossil Ridge 19, Grand Junction 13, Monarch 10, Denver East 8, Arapahoe 5, Legend 3, Boulder 2, Fruita Monument 2, Ralston Valley 2, Castle View 1, Chaparral 1, Cherokee Trail 1, Columbine 1, Legacy 1, Rock Canyon 1.

the Lions a game short of being assured of making the playoffs with two games to play. “This was a tough game for us to lose,” Lions coach Pedja Vajzovic said after the game. “We played hard and it wasn’t our night. Now we face the need to win one of our last two games to secure a decent seed in the playoffs.” Littleton took the field Oct. 15 against Douglas County and faced Chaparral Oct. 17. Both games will be played at Littleton Public School Stadium. The teams played the Oct. 12 game at a racehorse pace, pushing the ball up and down the field, seeking an opening to put a shot on the net. Highlands Ranch broke the scoreless tie in the first half when the Falcons pressed the attack and John Schaffer put the ball in the net past a diving Littleton goalie Edgar Cervantes. Littleton’s attack produced openings and the Lions took the shots, but most of the shots sailed wide of the mark or over the goal. Just under two minutes into the second

half, the Falcons pushed an attack. The initial shot on goal was deflected away from the net by Lions goalie Cervantes. However, Schaffer moved in on the deflection and drilled it into the upper right corner of the goal to make the score 2-0. A trio of Falcons, Andrew Skiles, Roberto Valazquez and Kyle Diethorn, each got credit for assists. “Our team played well tonight,” Falcons coach Main said after the game. “All aspects of our play were on target in this game. Our attack was crisp, the midfield played well and, as it has all season, our defense was solid.” Jeff Ingell is the Falcon’s center fullback on the defensive line. “This is my normal position and I like it back there because I am the last line of defense in front of the goalie,” he said. “Also,

as center fullback, I can see the whole field and be a leader as I help direct our play. I have been playing soccer since I was 4 or 5 and this is my favorite position.” Ingell keeps busy, as he is a kicker for the football season and he plays basketball, but he added that soccer is his favorite sport. The Lions coach said it wasn’t a good night for his team. “They are a very good team but while we played hard, we weren’t organized and really didn’t play smart soccer,” Vajzovic said after the game. “We have the talent and I believe we can do what we need to do to get an automatic seed in the playoffs. Like I told the players, I want to see them succeed, but it is up to them to play smart soccer in these next two games so we get the wins we need to assure we can continue our season into the playoffs.”

It’s Brothers joins area’s roster of restaurants Owners ‘pulled out all stops’ on bar and grill By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Marc and Eric Fortney went all out during construction of their first free-standing restaurant. On Oct. 10, they opened the doors to the It’s Brothers Bar & Grill in Lone Tree, the 17th restaurant in the familyowned chain. “We pulled out all the stops,” Marc Fortney said. “A lot of planning went into this.” Though the two-story, sports-themed restaurant opened during football season, its setup is strongly skewed toward summer. Ground- and upper-level patios illuminated by strung lights are dotted with standing heaters, and a large outdoor fireplace anchors the main-floor outdoor area. Four bocce courts open for free play flank the building’s north side. The outdoor emphasis not only expands the restaurant’s 400-plus seating capacity, it’s a visual lure to passersby on Quebec Street. The site formerly was home to the Claim Jumper, a restaurant known for its oversized portions that closed in late 2010. Marc Fortney, the extroverted face of the company, said he first considered renovating the original space.

“I thought it was a spectacular building for a country-western bar,” he said. “It would have cost more to retrofit than to build.” It’s Brothers is designed as a restaurant, sports bar and nightclub. “We want to be a sports bar, but we also want to be more than that,” Marc Fortney said. “As the night goes on, you’re going to hear the music ramp up. If people want to shake a little bit, we’ve got a dance floor.” Wisconsin natives Marc and Eric Fortney opened their first bar in the college town of LaCrosse, Wis. in 1990. Marc Fortney points to their self-employed parents as the source of their entrepreneurial spirit, but said the brothers knew their age could be a hindrance. At the time of that first opening, the two were 26 and 23. “When we looked at this first bar in LaCrosse, we knew we needed credibility in the marketplace because we were so young,” Marc Fortney said. His parents suggested not only the name “Brothers,” but added “Est. 1967” to the moniker. It’s not the year the company started, but the year Eric Fortney was born and the lifelong partnership began. Marc Fortney takes pride in the company’s scratch kitchens and a menu designed to change with the seasons. Guests at the restaurant’s grand opening gave the city’s newest restaurant positive

You can bring your family here during the day and come back with your friends evenings and weekends.” “This is my new place,” said Lone Tree

resident Ray Russell. Marc Fortney sees the proximity of LoDo’s, across Quebec Street, as more boon than threat. “Car lots put themselves right next to each other to give people options,” he said. “We want to provide more options.”

Wandering trumpeter pays visit to Littleton Vietnam veteran says he’s called by God By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com It’s not every day you see a guy in boxers and a cowboy hat with a ram’s horn slung over his shoulder playing the trumpet on the median in front of the courthouse, but next time you do, it will probably be Richard Jacobson. “I’m lifting up the name of the Lord in the public arena,” he said Oct. 11 as he took a break from entertaining the masses with such classics as “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and “This Land is Your Land.” Jacobson, 69, mostly lives with his mother in Longmont, but spends many days seeking out the next corner to trumpet on. He likes college campuses, Boulder and small, historic downtowns like Littleton’s. “I’ve been wanting to see Littleton for a long time,” he said. “It’s just so perfect for a trumpeter. And this spot is like a gateway. There’s plenty of traffic, and it’s a perfect place for a wake-up call for people. A lot of people wave and support me, but I have had the bird flipped at me a few times.” His father gave him his first trumpet when he was 12, growing up in New York. “It was back in the ‘50s,” he recalls. “I heard Harry James on TV playing `Flight of the Bumblebee,’ and that was it for me.” Then he grew up and joined the Air Force. There was Vietnam, then Germany, where he met the mother of his only daughter. They divorced, and he came home to a career as a computer programmer.

Richard Jacobson stopped in Littleton Oct. 11 on his mission to lift up God through his trumpeting. Photo by Jennifer Smith “But the Lord called me to Germany,” he said. “In 1995, I went there with just a bicycle and a trumpet. I spent seven years bicycling around Germany.” He spent the next 14 years, he said, doing the same back home in America, living off the kindness of others. Four years ago, now supplied with Social Security, veteran benefits, a smart phone and a car, he came to Colorado to be with his mom. But he’s ever the wandering trumpeter,
