City will appeal sex-offender ruling Federal judge tossed residency restrictions By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood announced Aug. 26 that it will appeal a decision by a federal judge, who found that the city’s restrictions on the residency of certain sex offenders are unconstitutional and are in conflict with the state’s “interest in uniform treatment, rehabilitation and reintegration of sex offenders
during and after state supervision.” Judge R. Brooke Jackson said Englewood’s restrictions essentially leave no place in the city for sex offenders to live, and that the rules push offenders into nearby cities. “We do not believe the state has addressed the issue of where a sexual offender may live, only that he or she must register with local police departments,” Englewood Mayor Randy Penn said in making the appeal announcement. “Registration isn’t enough. That doesn’t work, as the history of this case has shown. When the state (in a 2006 case) seeks to place a sexually vio-
lent predator across from a day care center, something is wrong. The state system is broken.” He said Englewood also intends to contact state legislators to propose legislation to ensure local governments are permitted to enact ordinances that reasonably protect the children of the city. City Attorney Dan Brotzman said the city has 30 days to file the appeal. He said communities such as Greenwood Village, Castle Rock, Lone Tree, Commerce City and Greeley have adopted ordinances similar to Englewood’s, so the city will seek to have those cities and the Colo-
rado Municipal League join and assist in the appeal. Attorney Tom Rice represented Englewood in the federal-court case and will be the lead attorney in filing the appeal, Brotzman said. Brotzman said the estimated cost of the appeal will be about $25,000. He added that the appeal process is lengthy and the case could be in court for a year or more. Englewood passed the ordinance in 2006 when the state notified the city that a Appeal continues on Page 19

Big green bus fights hunger South Metro Health Alliance takes resources on the road By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood resident Theresa O’Connor was just one of at least 65 people to visit the big green Hunger Free Colorado bus at Littleton’s Bemis Public Library Aug. 19 for help and information. O’Connor, who cares full time for her disabled husband, said she was there particularly to find out about dental care, but she found a lot more that was useful. Every little bit helps, she said. The Community Accessing Resources Together event, sponsored by the South Metro Health Alliance, shared information on how to get help with food and housing costs, medical and dental insurance and

have been really touched. We’ve had some people thanking us with tears in their eyes.” SMHA grew out of the work of the Littleton Immigrant Integration Initiative’s Health and Wellness Program, which brought together a wide range of healthcare providers starting in 2006. In 2011, the program earned a start-up grant of $175,000 from the Colorado Health Foundation. Today, it’s grown to include dozens of organizations that serve the uninsured and underinsured population of Arapahoe and Douglas counties, like TLC Meals on Wheels, Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network, Inter-Faith Community Services and Doctors Care. “Our vision is for the South Metro Health Alliance to be the convener of our community to address the changing landscape of health care,” reads SMHA’s website. “The SMHA will ensure that there is no ‘wrong door’ for people seeking care by helping health care providers understand the needs of the vulnerable patient population and the resources available to treat the whole person.” The group plans more mobile CART events, with the next one set for Sept. 23 at TLC Meals on Wheels, 7300 S. Clermont Drive in Centennial. “This feels like a small community, but some people don’t know about all of the resources that are out here,” said Bernadette Frausto of Doctors Care.
The Englewood Urban Renewal Authority board of directors voted unanimously Aug. 21 to start negotiations on a contract that could bring apartments and retail to downtown Englewood. The developer, Lakewood-based Medici Communities, has proposed a project on property that includes the Englewood Parkway/Broadway corner and the blocklong parking lot that faces the 3400 block of South Acoma Street. The Aug. 21 meeting was authority’s third session to evaluate two development proposals, one from Medici and one from Denver-based MGL Partners. At the Aug. 21 session, board member comments included some of their reasons for favoring the Medici proposal, including their belief that the company has a better parking plan and overall design concept. The Medici concept of the Broadway Lofts development is to construct an apartment and retail project on the site. The proposal would establish an 8,600-square-foot restaurant site on the corner of Broadway and Englewood Parkway. The five-story buildings along the parkway and threestory building along Acoma would contain 114 apartments. Less than half of the apartments would be rented at costs the local workforce could afford, and the remaining apartments would rent for market value. There would be a parking garage with 176 spaces, plus 32 surface parking spaces. The renewal authority owns the Acoma parking lot and about half the lot fronting on Broadway and Englewood Parkway. The city owns the other half of the frontage lot. The authority members are tentatively scheduled to meet with the city council Sept. 3 to discuss the proposal. This 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. White said there were 45 requests for information about the site, but only three development proposals 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 Downtown continues on Page 19

No decision on BID asset disposal Variety of ways discussed to deal with amenities, finances By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood City Council talked about a variety of options but didn’t agree on a course of action Aug. 19 on how to handle disposition of the South Broadway Business Improvement District assets. No date was set to again discuss the issue. In July, the city council approved the effort by the majority of district property owners to have the BID dissolved. Once the district was dissolved, the city council was charged with disposing of district physical and financial assets. Frank Gryglewicz, finance director, told the city council the district’s physical assets include 35 flower planters and bike racks and financial assets of nearly $142,000. Gryglewicz said the district financial assets have been transferred to the city, with Englewood Finance and Administrative services serving as custodian and responsible to separately account for the funds. He said one option for the disposition was to remove the physical assets at a cost of $350 for each flower pot or bike rack. Money for the removal would be deducted from the financial assets and the rest would be returned to the district property owners.
Another option is to keep the planters and use district funds to maintain them until the funds are used up. The maintenance cost is estimated at about $15,000 a year. The majority of council members agreed no one wants to see the planters and bicycle racks removed, but had different opinions about disposition of the financial assets. “I believe the city should keep the bike racks and planters in place because I feel they are assets to the Broadway corridor. Those assets will then become city property and the maintenance will be the city’s responsibility,” Councilmember Rick Gillit said. “I feel the district’s financial assets should be returned to the district property owners.” Mayor Randy Penn had a different proposal, as he suggested keeping the money and using the funds to maintain the planters and bike racks as well as to improve the Broadway medians. Councilmember Joe Jefferson disagreed. “I don’t think the district financial assets are the city’s money to spend,” he said. “I think a fair settlement would be to return the $30,000 the city provided as seed money for the district, designate $10,000 for administrative costs and $10,000 for planter and bike rack removal, then return the remainder of the money to the district’s property owners.” Councilmembers Linda Olson and Jill Wilson agreed they wanted to keep the

Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward said the planters and bike racks look nice but, if those items become city property, they also become liabilities. So, if the decision is to return the money to the district property owners, he would want to see the planters and bike racks removed.
Following the discussion, Mayor Randy Penn said there was no clear council consensus on a course of action, so he asked the staff to gather additional data, including the annual maintenance costs for the planters and bike racks, and suggested councilmembers re-evaluate the issue when they have all the details. No date was set for a discussion.
Englewood finances on track with forecast City revenues outpace 2012 by more than $400,000 By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The July finance report shows Englewood revenues are ahead of 2012 levels, and both revenues and spending are at or near predicted levels.
Frank Gryglewicz, city finance director, presented the monthly report to the city council at the Aug. 19 study session. The report showed Englewood’s 2013 revenues through July were about $25.3 million, which is about $439,000 more than was collected in the same period last year. For the month of July, the city collected about $2.28 million in sales and use taxes, up from about $2.27 million in July 2012. Englewood’s largest revenue source is sales

and use taxes, which generate 78.2 percent of taxes and 56.4 percent of revenues. “While some revenue sources like fines and forfeitures and interest income were down, some revenue sources were up so, overall, the financial picture is about as forecast,” Gryglewicz said. “Perhaps the biggest revenue jump this year has been in fees collected for licenses and permits. Through July, the collections are about $676,000 more than at this time last year.”
Through July, spending was about $23 million, or about $46,000 less than for the same period in 2012. Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward noted July is traditionally a strong month for sales and use tax collections, but not this year. “Perhaps that is because Englewood Schools don’t open this year until early September,” he said. “That could mean we will see an increase in sales and use tax collections for August.”

Englewood firefighters staff three-day fundraiser By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Again this year, Englewood firefighters will be staffing four locations for the annual “Fill the Boot” campaign, collecting donations for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Englewood firefighters will be at the King Soopers store at Floyd Avenue
and Broadway, the King Soopers at Federal Boulevard and Belleview Avenue, the Englewood Walmart and the Englewood Light Rail Station on Aug. 31, Sept. 1 and Sept 2. “The money we collect helps International Association of Firefighters Local 1736 members here provide medical treatment and support services to about 10 Englewood-area residents and their families who are dealing with some form of neuromuscular disease,” said Dan Alley, Englewood firefighter. “The money we collect goes to the local MDA to help people in our com-
munity and around Colorado.” The International Association of Firefighters has been a fundraising partner with MDA for more than 50 years. Firefighters around the metro area have supported the “Fill the Boot” project but, for several years, Englewood didn’t take part in the fundraiser. That changed four years ago. “The first year, we collected $2,000, the next year it was about $4,000 and last year we collected $14,000,” Alley said. “Our goal this year is to collect at least $20,000 to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association.”

the hospital.” The men noted they are continuing to work on the concept and no timeline has been set for the start of construction. The Masonic Temple, located at 3500 S. Sherman St., is in the old Lowell School that was constructed in 1910. The Lowell School held classes until the mid-1950s, and eventually the Masons purchased and renovated the building. The Masons moved out of the Sherman Street building several years ago and initially planned to seek development of the site. That didn’t happen and eventually the property ownership was transferred to private parties.
POLICE REPORT Car fire ruled arson
Investigators have determined that a fire that destroyed a 1997 Ford Thunderbird in the alley behind the 4900 block of South Delaware Street was arson. Police were called about 6:20 a.m. Aug.18 by a resident who reported the car fire. He also told police that, while he was passed out, a burglar came into his house, took a number of electronic items and cut a hole in his pants pocket and took his car keys. The case is still being investigated.
Jaywalker arrested for drugs
An officer stopped a 34-year-old for jaywalking, and eventually the man was arrested for possession of controlled substances. About 6:45 p.m. Aug. 18, the officer stopped the man for jaywalking near Oxford and Broadway. The report said the suspect was nervous but did give the officer to search his backpack, where officers found a plastic bag containing material that tested positive for methamphetamine. There also was a glass pipe and a needle containing clear liquid. The Multi-Jurisdictional Arapahoe County Impact Team detective was called and came to the scene. The suspect was arrested and taken to the Arapahoe County jail. He could face charges of possession of a schedule II controlled substance.
Stolen motorcycle recovered
A routine traffic stop resulted in the driver’s arrest and recovery of a stolen motorcycle. The officer stopped the motorcycle about 11:30 p.m. Aug. 15 in the 2800 block of South Broadway because the 34-yearold man on the Harley-Davidson wasn’t wearing eye protection. A routine check showed the 1993 motorcycle had been reported stolen in Denver on Aug. 12. The 34-year-old motorcyclist was arrested and, according to the police report, told officer he knew the bike was stolen. He was taken to the Arapahoe County jail. He could face charges of theft by receiving and traffic violations.

County readies plows for first snow Workshop trains drivers, inspects vehicles, targets safety By Deborah Grigsby
dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com For most folks, blowing down Broncos Parkway in a snowplow, in August, with the wind in your hair may seem rather odd. But for veteran snowplow driver Jim Maes, it’s part of his job. And his job, along with that of the Arapahoe County Road and Bridge Division, is to be ready to move mountains of white stuff before the first flake hits the ground. On Aug. 22, more than 50 division employees, including Maes, took part in an annual daylong training program designed to blow the cobwebs off the county’s 19 snowplows, four loaders and seven road graders. “Anyone who’s lived in Colorado knows it can snow as early as September,” said Allen Peterson, division manager. “So we want to get started while there’s time to make repairs, as well as order materials and parts.” Drivers and maintenance personnel got a dusting off, too. Along with an extensive safety course, drivers got a chance to drive their respective routes in good weather, which Petersen says helps build confidence. Ensuring an adequate supply of replacement parts and de-icing material is also on the list, said Peterson. Parts that are hard to get or wear out more
Allen Peterson, Arapahoe County Road and Bridge Division manager, says the county likes to think ahead and stockpile granular de-icing materials, like the Ice Slicer shown here, when practical.
RESPECT THE PLOW
A series of special “pucks” are located around Arapahoe County’s snowplows, prompting drivers to complete detailed inspections of the vehicles before leaving the lot. Photos by Deborah Grigsby often are ordered in advance. “Before each shift, the snowplow operator completes a checklist that certifies the condition of the plow before it leaves the yard,” said Maes. A small hand-held device and special electronic pucks located on the vehicle’s frame, inside the cab, and even on the en-
gine, force the driver to visually inspect the plow, tire pressure, mileage, the sander, fluid levels, safety lighting and more. “I try to plow these roads like I would plow them for my family,” said Maes, who plows the remote rural areas of Deer Trail. “I want my family to be safe out there, so that’s what I keep on my mind.”
During winter storms, Arapahoe County snowplows work around the clock to keep roads passable. • Don’t crowd these large vehicles. Give snowplow operators room to do their job. • Don’t tailgate snowplows or crowd them on either side. • Plow drivers can’t see directly behind the trucks. Staying a safe distance behind a snowplow prevent possible injury. Plows weigh upwards of 60,000 pounds and may take up to 10 times longer to stop than regular passenger vehicles. • Watch for plows on highways and on ramps. Yield to them. • Never drive through a snow cloud or whiteout conditions.
Englewood may OK breweries, distilleries Council passes first reading of ordinance to change city codes By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com John Mueller said he is glad to hear Englewood City Council appeared to be considering approving an amendment to change the city code to permit the establishment of distilleries, breweries and wineries in the city. The council first discussed the issue at the July 22 study session, passed the proposed amendments on first reading at the Aug. 5 council meeting and set the public hearing for Aug. 19 to gather public comment on the topic. The council tentatively will vote on the amendments on second and final reading
during the Sept. 3 meeting. Mueller, an Englewood resident, said if he had known about the public hearing he would have attended, because really wants to see the city change the laws prohibiting breweries, distilleries and wineries. “I think these establishments bring people to the community, and we need to bring potential customers to Englewood,” he said. “Just look at Brews on Broadway, the new brewery. I have been there a couple times and other customers have told me they are making the brewery a destination stop. That’s the kind of attraction we need here in town. I hope the council moves quickly to approve the changes so we get more breweries and even a distillery or two in town.” The council opened the public hearing and Amy Stosaro, who works and lives in downtown Englewood, was the only indi-
vidual who chose to testify. “I am all for this proposal. Brews on Broadway is a great start. I have been there, it is a nice place and it is attracting people to downtown Englewood,” she said. “It is a trend I think the city should allow and encourage.” Chris Neubecker, senior planner, outlined the proposed amendment to the city council. He said the issue was brought up with the proposal to establish a brewery in downtown Englewood. The business, Brews on Broadway, was given approval to locate in the 3400 block of South Broadway as a conditional use. Ryan White is already working on establishing his Devil’s Head Distillery on Broadway in Englewood. “I want to locate on Broadway and I have found a couple of possible locations for my business,” he said. “If I am able to get all
the federal permits, I would like to have my distillery open late this year. We plan to distill gin, vodka and aquavit, a Scandinavian spirit similar to gin with a different taste.” In the council communication, it was noted the planning and zoning commission recommended the council consider an amendment to the unified development code to establish zoning for distilleries, breweries and wineries. In July, the commission recommended proposed code changes. If the ordinance being considered is approved, distilleries, breweries and wineries would be permitted uses in the industrial zone but such facilities would be allowed as conditional uses in the business-zoned districts. Also, the facilities would be limited to 10,000 square feet and would be required to have tap rooms or retail sales areas as part of the establishment.

Doctor’s legacy lives on at museum Shugart was visionary leader of Friends organization By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com
A little piece of Dr. Ralph Shugart’s legacy will be tended to in perpetuity by another, larger piece. Shugart founded Arapahoe Park Pediatrics in 1953, tending to young patients at a small office on Orchard Road. He died in Divi- 1985 at the age of 56, but the practice lives and on, now on Mineral Avenue, and celebrated cer 60 years this summer by riding in the Western Welcome Week parade. That led to an encounter that reunited Shugart’s family with his practice. Mike Fisher of HMRx Inc., a medicalbusiness management company, calls APP one of his first, best and brightest clients. After seeing Fisher in the parade, a family friend of the Shugarts’ connected him with the doctor’s daughter, Martha McCannon.

Dr. Shugart’s original microscope to the collection.
“We are so excited to celebrate this milestone,” said Dr. William DeLano, a former colleague of Shugart’s. “This microscope is a great piece of history to share with the community.” Which leads us to what Shugart is perhaps best known for, as a visionary founding member of Friends of the Library and Museum. Nancy Wynne’s history of FOLM, which celebrates 50 years in 2013, credits Shugart with realizing the importance of imparting a sense of community. “Without exception, everyone with whom I have spoken during the preparation of this project has stressed the importance of Ralph’s presidency not only to Friends of the Library, but to the city of Littleton,” wrote Wynne. Shugart was active with Fiasco, an old Littleton tradition of residents producing a musical spoof of themselves and goings-on in town. His children say he had a natural flair for the dramatic that was on all the time.

opinions / yours and ours
‘Dream’ speech still a call for promise Many people have heard or read the entire Martin Luther King “I Have a Dream” speech — more than once. Many of our readers can recite a favorite phrase or two. We recognize the power of the words. The famous speech — among the most important of the 20th century — came to the forefront of the American consciousness once again with its 50th anniversary Aug. 28, rather than on Martin Luther King Day, which is celebrated each year in the cold of January. With this, we are reminded the speech reverberated in the heat of summer when about 250,000 people gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., as part of a peaceful march on Washington for jobs and freedom. Due to press deadlines we don’t know
our view how President Barack Obama may have marked the occasion in a speech scheduled this week on the very steps of the Lincoln Memorial where King stood. We know that while we trust certain themes resonate with both men, different insights are expected: One saw the world as an civil-rights activist and pastor, while the other is viewing the world as an elected official of such high stature as president. But we expect the world will have heard an appropriate tribute and comment related
to King’s words from the president. We agree with the view that the country has come a long way in racial equality but has much further to go. To King’s dream, many people are still not judged on the content of their character instead of the color of their skin. King referred to the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and said, “It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked ‘insufficient funds.’” Fifty years ago the crowd reacted loudly to these words, and to many, the words hold true today. After all, with current data
in hand, unemployment in the black community still commonly hovers at twice the level of the white community. But we do recognize that the inspiration of this speech has helped to improve laws and behavior, helping the country put its best foot forward as a nation that recognizes the strength and fairness called for in embracing its diversity. As King said, “we cannot walk alone.” King’s speech and Martin Luther King Day hold special places in our country, inspiring people to work toward the American promise. We are part of the cause and walk forward recalling the words from the dream speech, “Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado.” Let there be justice and let it begin with us.
Aim to do the most difficult things first
What I learned on my trip to Kentucky Few people get to travel to Lexington, Ky., and see a behind-the-scenes view of the horse racing and bourbon country. But even fewer get to become a Henry Toll Fellow and Kentucky Colonel all in one trip. I was that lucky last week. I was fortunate to be one of 48 policymakers (the only one from Colorado) selected as a 2013 Henry Toll Fellow by the Council of State Governments. The Toll Fellowship Program, named for CSG founder Henry Wolcott Toll, also from Colorado, is one of the nation’s premier leadership development programs, bringing top state officials from all three branches for an intensive six-day “intellectual boot camp.” And to boot, we were also bestowed with the highest honor in their state of being named a Kentucky Colonel! During the program, with hardly any free time and working from early to late every day, it felt like I was back in session, needing to be focused every minute. But what I learned was very valuable to me, and soon to be for my constituents. • Lesson 1: Sometimes, there’s no easy way to get there, but you’ll make it. On my travels to and from, I had to go through a connecting city, which is never easy. And just on my way there, I experienced a sobbing baby, snoring man and broken luggage, but I made it. Little did I know this would be foreshadowing. At one point, we broke down into our regions to work together on an innovative solution to a daunting challenge we have in our part of the country. True to form, our Western region easily decided on our issue: the shortage of water. Then it became sticky. Working every waking minute we eventually came up with a solution and presentation about this escalating crisis before us. I was reminded once again that we are all in this together. Here we were, Western Republicans and Democrats from differ-
ent states sitting side by side, proficiently brainstorming civilly, without a word of partisan ideology. It was only through our civil discourse and open-mindedness that we were able to persevere through the tough conversations and come up with a solution we thought might work in the real world. • Lesson 2: As I would take a “view from the balcony,” an overarching theme arose of “strategy and guts.” As policymakers, we need to think strategically and futuristically as much as possible in order to see the long-term benefits as well as any potential unintended consequences of our actions. Yet without the guts of risk-taking also, nothing would get done. Candidates wouldn’t run for office, legislators wouldn’t act innovatively and constituents wouldn’t be represented. Knowing the road can sometimes be rough in public service, we need to remember the strategy, guts and civility that help us get to the other side. This shows only two. There were so many “ah-has” over the days I spent in Kentucky, but none more powerful than the reminder of my gratitude for being a public servant.

The other day I found myself facing a situation where I had to have a difficult conversation with someone very close and special to me. And the more I thought about it and waited, the more difficult the conversation was becoming in my head and I almost talked myself out of raising the issue and having the discussion. Then I remembered something that Zig Ziglar used to say, “If you ever have to kiss a frog you will want to kiss it right away, because the longer you wait, the bigger and uglier that frog is going to become.” And then the thought will become so gross that we will eventually just avoid it completely. Have you ever been in a situation where there was a difficult task, or something that you just did not want to do? Maybe it was going to be a terrible or fierce conversation you had to have and the simple thought of it was giving you heartburn and a headache. The fact is that the more we delay or avoid the task or discussion, the more our minds take over, and our imagination creates scenarios that are far worse and more horrific than what the reality will actually be. Additionally, as we go about our day, or our week, or maybe even our weekend, the more that we carry the burden of having to do what we ultimately have to do, the less productive we are in all other areas of life. Not only are we less productive, we become distracted, and other things that we enjoy doing and people we appreciate being around are forced to suffer along

with us as we are just not ourselves during this time. On the positive side, when we finally get the action item we have been dreading off our plate, deal with it and get it past us, we are liberated and have freed ourselves up to get back to doing the things that bring us happiness and allow us to focus on our goals and other tasks at hand. Now don’t mistake this as a suggestion for rushing into action and calling someone out, initiating a tough talk, or tackling a less than desirable activity. The recommended approach is to make sure that we have taken the time to consider the “why” behind the difficult task, thinking through and considering carefully what we have to say or do. Maybe at least practicing the 24-hour rule to give ourselves time to think it through is the minimal approach. But at the end of the day, when we have thought it through and know with absolute certainty that we must take care of the issue or challenge, we should make it the very next thing that we do.

What I hear is, voices can say a mouthful e
I was listening to the car radio the other day and heard a voice that is such a moom- notonous drone it could make you reach the for the Kool-Aid. And I thought: Shouldn’t radio be the number-one place for nothing ation but agreeable voices? aws Then I remembered Tiny Tim, who was its a fairly creepy novelty act in the 1960s, who gmust have made a million dollars with his or in unbearable (to me) high falsetto, vibrato we voice. His looks were a perfect accompaning ment. Long, scraggly hair that seemed to have been unlaundered for days or weeks. meri- You know the car radio voice I am refernd ring to, but I am not going to name names. the Voice-only talents are desirable because the some voices can be good for marketing simply because they are unforgettable, with even Kool-Aid ones. Some voice talents, like Mel Blanc, have become well-known solely because of their vocal distinctions. You can always recognize Mel’s voice, but you would never recognize Mel on the street. The first time I ever thought about distinctive voices was the first time I heard Froggy, when I was a kid. He was one of the
t
stars in the “Our Gang” films in the early 1940s. He first appeared at age 8, and his voice already sounded like a frog’s croak, so actor Billy Laughlin was nicknamed “Froggy.” He sounded like a much older actor named Eugene Pallette. No one knows who Pallette was, but I was determined to learn how to imitate his voice after seeing him in “My Man Godfrey.” Eventually, and to this day, I can. But who would know? Who would ever say, “That’s a very good Eugene Pallette”? Froggy was delivering newspapers in real life when his motor scooter was hit by a bus. He died instantly, age 16.

There are some voices — no names — that drive me crazy. I avoid newscasters, sportscasters and other personalities if there’s a voice involved that makes me cringe. Can we do anything about our voices if we don’t like them? Of course. Like a nose job, you can get a voice job. I’m not sure where, or how, but everything else can be augmented or modified. Our voices change naturally. Boys’ choirs are just that. I was at a May D&F one day, and I thought I heard someone over in towels who might be having an afternoon helium. I followed the sounds and found a woman who was in her 50s, and who sounded like a Saturday morning cartoon. She was an employee. I decided to buy a few hand towels and say something about her unusual voice. She said she wasn’t surprised. “Happens to me all the time.” Then she told me that she was a voiceonly performer, and that it was quite lucrative. Sometimes it takes more than one voice to get the job done. I was given a tip about the Everly Brothers, that they might break
Norton
up before, during, or after a performance at Knott’s Berry Farm in July 1973. So I was in the audience that night, and sure enough. Phil walked off the stage leaving his brother Don to carry on — but one Everly brother isn’t the same, and he was booed off the stage. I should mention that Don was drunk and couldn’t remember lyrics, which was why Phil was so upset. The brothers barely spoke to each other for the next 10 years. Eventually they repaired the relationship and I went to see them at the Paramount Theatre in Denver in 1998. Whenever I am asked to give a public talk about my art work, I always finish my presentation by saying that my one regret in life is that I wasn’t one of the Everly Brothers. Their harmonies have always meant so much to me. At the Paramount Theatre that night they received a standing ovation. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Hudson glad he gave up his day job
More than 100 classic cars and 35 vintage aircraft helped raise awareness — and financial support — for the Morgan Adams Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving survival rates of children diagnosed with cancer. The annual Concours d’Elegance, held Aug. 24 in Centennial, attracted hundreds of patrons for an evening of fun and fundraising.
Wings, wheels fight cancer One of the largest collections of rare vehicles and historically significant aircraft came to Centennial Airport on Aug. 24 for the Morgan Adams Foundation Concours d’Elegance, a yearly auction and fundraiser for children with cancer. More than 100 cars, 35 aircraft and a handful of rare motorcycles served as the centerpiece. The group funds pediatric cancer research and therapies. The foundation is named for the daughter of founders Steve Adams and Joan Slaughter. The 6-year-old girl died of brain cancer in 1998.
And to think I remember Andrew Hudson when he was a mere press secretary for Mayor Wellington Webb. Now the oncefledgling spokesmodel is all grown up and recently celebrated his rise to major mogul-dom with what started as a hobby. Last week, Hudson marked the fifth anniversary of AH Jobs List, the go-to online source for job seekers and job givers. Little did he know that, in 2008, the country’s economy was on the precipice of collapse and his business model would be invaluable to displaced workers struggling to recover from lost jobs. So five years ago, Hudson took what began as a hobby producing a single-page Xeroxed list and elevated it to the go-to jobs site with more than 25 million page views (www.ahjobslist.com). “I had planned on giving the new site three months before making decisions about my future, but the response to the new site was so immediate and overwhelming, I quit my job in less than a week and haven’t looked back since,” Hudson said. “It is truly a joy and a privilege to connect job seekers with this list of positions each week. Daily, I am humbled to hear from job seekers and employers who share stories about job seeking success.”

roath gift enhances Western collection Denver Art Museum receives donation By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcolorado news.com Early in its development, the Denver Art Museum made a commitment to building a strong collection of Western American art, and on Aug. 13, it announced a major gift to that collection, now known as the Petrie Institute of Western American Art. Denver collector Henry Roath, a director of Lincoln Land Company, has pledged to give his fine collection of approximately 50 works of Western, especially Southwestern, art to the Denver Art Museum. Covering the years 1877 to 1972, “Aspen Trees at Twining” by Taos artist Victor Henning is included in the Roath gift of 50 the collection of oils, water- artworks to the Denver Art Museum.

In addition to the large collection, Roath donated $500,000 to establish a fund for future acquisitions, an amount that was matched by other donors. In December, the DAM will host its annual black-tie Collectors Choice fundraising event, which will honor Roath as well as supporters Tom Petrie and Jim Wallace. Proceeds from the event will go to the acquisition fund.
From the City That Never Sleeps to the Mile High City comes the first Denver Beerathon, a sudsy festival that originated in the Big Apple for people who love beer. This is the premiere event for those whose enthusiasm for marathons extends to beer runs. The Denver Beerathon will be held Sept. 14 and takes participants on an all-day tasting journey through 26 bars (yikes!) located throughout Denver’s downtown and Highland neighborhood. And the Beerathon is quaffing for a cause. A portion of proceeds will go to Excelsior Youth Center. Drinking craft beer has never felt this good. Tickets are $55 per person or $70 for VIP, which includes early check-in and a VIPonly party at Fado Irish Pub with prizes and giveaways. For tickets, go to www. denverbeerathon.com.
More than one kind of draft
The Tavern group of neighborhood restaurants is running a fantasy football draft party through Sept. 5. For $100 per party, draft parties at each neighborhood Tavern will receive unlimited draft beer for a two-hour period for up to 12 people. The promotion is not valid after 4 p.m. Fridays and reservations must be made in advance. Free high-speed wi-fi is available at all locations, including Littleton, the Denver Tech Center, Lowry and, for Denver Broncos fans, at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. “We always love it when people choose one of our neighborhood locations as their football headquarters,” said Tavern owner Frank Schultz. For Fantasy Football Draft Party reservations, call 303-226-1555. For location and other information, go to www.tavernhg. com. Parker continues on Page 14

Papermaker’s new works exhibited Tomasso has studio in Englewood home By Sonya Ellingboe
If you go “Forgotten Latitudes” will be at the Ice Cube Gallery, 3320 Walnut St., Denver, through Sept. 14. Gallery hours: Noon to 6 p.m. Thursdays, Saturdays; noon to 9 p.m. Fridays. 303-292-1822, icecubegallery.com.
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “`Forgotten Latitudes’ is a new series of work in paper, exploring the textures of the blank spaces on maps. It is a search for the isolation, the wind and passage of time that takes place here unnoticed by anyone. The work evokes the names of places that have been changed or have never existed,” said Ray Tomasso’s artist’s statement about his new exhibit at Ice Cube Gallery in Denver, where he has exhibited previously. “Forgotten Latitudes” runs through Sept. 14. Tomasso has lived and worked in Englewood since 1980, with his Inter-Ocean Curiosity Studio, where he pulverizes rags and makes handmade papers, in addition to housing a collection of antique letterpresses.
He was born in Omaha, Neb., in 1949, studied art and printmaking and created his first work of art in paper in 1974. He received an MFA in printmaking from CU-Boulder in 1979, where he studied with Clinton Cline and Robert B. Ecker. After locating his studio in Englewood, he traveled internationally studying papers, history and techniques in this ancient craft. He was involved in founding the International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists, headquartered in Switzerland. He has exhibited his art locally and internationally and continued to operate his studio. His website has photographs of the complicated and lengthy process involved in creating each work. He offers a con-
“Crossing the Bosporus” by Ray Tomasso of Englewood is included in “Forgotten Latitudes” works in paper, which opened Aug. 22 at Ice Cube Gallery. Courtesy photo densed description: “A composition is set up using string, tape, found objects and textures, both
found and made. The work to be cast represents a mirror image with the negative space above the composition. “The work is made up of three layers of new, wet handmade paper, dropped from the paper mould. The first two layers are of recycled archival rag paper to capture the texture of the composition, the third layer is blue jean for strength and shrinkage. The result is a sheet of paper 8’x 8’ or 8’x 12’. “This is glued to a wooden frame, sanded, and paint and pure pigment are applied. The surface is finished with layer after layer of paint and pigment with an eye to enhancing the textural qualities of the surface.” His works are abstract and powerful, with varied linear and textural effects, different from most work an art lover sees in this area. When RTD was building the Southwest Light Rail line, Tomasso was commissioned to create art for the Englewood station. It is made of cast glass, with found objects embedded in it, which show when light flows through.

We’ll focus on that festival, which started many years ago as a way to entice folks to come to downtown Denver, and was restarted more recently for the same reason. It’s now known as Taste of Colorado. Admission for four days of activities, food and music is free. Tickets for food and carnival rides are sold. The fest boasts five music stages, 50 restaurants and food trucks, a marketplace with about 280 vendors, a kids’ area, Culinary Showcase, a Festival of Mountain and Plain area that teaches about state history, nature and environment, and traditional

Linemen ready to rock the block Multitalented offensive linemen key teams’ attacks By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Offensive linemen used to be pictured as big, dumb guys who like to push and knock people around. That stereotype has changed. Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman has an all-senior starting offensive line this season that could physically match up with many college lines. Left tackle Alec Ruth is 6-foot-6, 300 pounds, and right tackle Isaiah Holland is 6-5, 310 pounds. They sandwich guards Ryan Cummings (6-5, 295) and Sam Kozan (6-2, 265) and center Cody Bratten (6-3, 280). Valor’s line averages 290 pounds, but Sherman claims it takes both brawn and brains to be a good offensive lineman. “First, it takes intelligence to be able to diagnose different defensive schemes and be able to adjust on the fly,” said Sherman. “I know sometimes in the world there is a stereotype of football players not being

schools and our center scored 35 on his ACT and is looking at schools like MIT.”
It takes more than just hitting a blocking sled hard to become a good offensive lineman. A potential All-League offensive lineman these days needs to be versatile, quick, explosive off the ball and a technique master to learn various kinds of blocks. “Second, you need kids that want to work hard and aren’t worried about getting the glory,” added Sherman. It’s not a glorious position being an offensive lineman, you have to work and be patient. “Bigger kids, when the ball gets rolled out their freshman year, are not able to play at the level they want because their bodies might be bigger and it might take them a little more time to improve their coordination,” he said. “Some of those kids when they get to their junior and senior years, their hard work starts to pay off. “We are blessed. There are not a ton of teams that can say that both their offensive tackles are being recruited by Pac 12 and Big 12 schools.” Cherry Creek’s offensive line doesn’t measure up to Valor’s in size, as the Bruins Linemen continues on Page 18
Englewood looks to improve as football season kicks off Led by a slew of returning starters, Pirates ready for opener at Woodland Park By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Jay Graves, Englewood High School football coach, said he expects the Pirates to be stronger and more competitive this season. “We had some kids graduate and they will be missed. However, the good news is we have eight starters returning on both sides of the ball,” the coach said. “I think our offense and defensive lines will be strong, our skill positions are good and we have some new kids who show a lot of potential. I think this will be a better season for the Pirates.” Englewood took part in a scrimmage at Kent Denver Aug. 23 and the Pirates will open the season on the road Aug. 30 at Woodland Park. The first home game of the year is Sept. 6 against Arvada. The kickoff time for home games will be 7 p.m. and the games will be played in Englewood High School Stadium. There are about 40 athletes out for the football team, and the coach said the team will be primarily a mixture of sophomores and seniors. Football continues on Page 18

Pirates victorious in softball opener Veterans help team post a win over Elizabeth By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcolorado news.com Englewood High School’s softball team opened the season in style Aug. 20 by posting a 12-1 win over Elizabeth. “I felt we were a pretty good team, but I didn’t expect us to open with a big win like this over a team that is traditionally strong,” Pirates coach Dave Chapman said. “We played solid defense and we really hit the ball. It was a league game and a good way to get the season started.” The team had little time to enjoy their win as they were at home Aug. 27 against Weld Central, a team expected to a strong contender for the league title. Over the Labor Day weekend, Englewood is en-
tered in the Sheridan tournament. It is an eight-team tournament divided into two pools. The Pirates are in the pool with Jefferson, Sheridan and Denver North. On Aug. 30, they play Jefferson at 3 p.m. and Sheridan at 5 p.m. on the softball field south of the middle school. They are on the same field at 1 p.m. Aug. 31 against Denver North. If the Pirates win their pool, they will play for the championship at 5 p.m. Aug. 31 on the middle school field. In the season opener, Englewood dominated play over Elizabeth. Every player in the Pirates lineup who came to bat got at least one hit. Two Pirates, Brittany Hall and Madison Smith, went 4-for-4. Dolly Ostrowski was 3-for-3 and drove in three runs, while team-

put a premium on agility. “It obviously starts up front on both sides of the ball,” said coach Dave Logan. “If you are not good up front on offense or defense, you are going to have a hard time winning. “This year our biggest offensive linemen will be about 235 to 240 pounds. We ask them to do a lot of different things. So being mobile is as important to us as being really, really big. We ask them to zone block, we’ll run different concepts to the running game, power, counter, toss, and we ask them to pass block.” Development takes time. “There are a lot of things we are ask-

“A lot of our freshmen got quite a bit of varsity playing time last season,” Graves said. “They are back with us as sophomores and they came in bigger, stronger and ready to play.” The coach said Isiah Mestas returns at quarterback and he said other returning veterans like Chris Gutierrez, Tyler Harris and Justin Wade will strengthen the offense. Graves also said it will be almost like a committee system at running back. “We have several kids who can play in the backfield for us, so our plan is to try to get all of them some playing time,” the coach said. “Up front, we have all veterans on the offensive line.” Forecast starters on the offensive line will be seniors Ken Gelinas and Matt Hiibschman and sophomores Ben McFarland, Kevin Mahler and Kyle Robideau.

ing that take time for guys to feel comfortable with, and sometimes time is a full year,” emphasized Logan. “We throw a lot at these kids and we ask a lot of them. Back in the old days of just lining up in a three-point stance, getting off the ball and blocking for a running game, those days have been long gone for a lot of people.” Sherman isn’t shy about reminding his offensive linemen about basics. “They can’t get tired of doing the fundamentals,” he said. “They have to continue to prefect their craft from pass protection to run blocking. I believe the attention to detail is important in every position, but it is just magnified at the line of scrimmage. “Oftentimes if you hear a lineman’s name called, it is because of something they did not do well. It takes a certain type of kid to have that charac-

However, the coach said some players new to the team will see action either as starters or as first-line reserves. “With 40 guys on the roster, we will have a varsity team and a C-team made up primarily of freshmen and sophomores. Some C-team player will see times with both squads,” Graves said. “In the league, I expect Elizabeth and Fort Morgan will again be strong. Vista Peak should be better because they have everyone back.” Senior Ken Gelinas said he is looking forward to the season. “Our team is looking good,” he said. “Our line is strong. It is the strongest line Englewood has had since my freshman year. That team went to the playoffs so I feel we should do pretty well this season.” Gelinas said he is a better player this season because he spent a lot of time in the weight room, so he is stronger, and has worked on improving his football skills.

ter and we’re blessed to have a group of those kids.” Other area teams also have good high school offensive linemen that have been doing well. Jamin Smith, Nick Viola and Adam Tate will help provide running lanes for Trey Smith at Douglas County. Brandon Reidemann, Brandon Leahy, Jacob Hunt and Austin Skinner will form part of a solid Chaparral offensive line, while highly recruited Sam Jones, Blake Jacobs and Brendan Chase return at ThunderRidge. “The offensive line is perhaps the most important group on the field,” said Chaparral coach John Vogt. “Typically linemen are hard workers and tough guys. They must run block and pass protect and they are involved in collisions on every play. They must be strong, tough and have athletic ability.”
and the defensive line but said he likes playing offense better because he gets to hit a guy across the line as hard as he can every play, so he can open the way for the running back to gain yardage and possibly score. Starting quarterback Mestas also said he is eager for the season to start. “This is the most excited I have been about a football season since I have been here at Englewood,” the senior said. “I am excited because everyone is here, they are looking good, there are no attitudes and everyone is ready to play.” Mestas said he feels he is well prepared for the season because, during the off season, he spent time in the weight room to get stronger and worked to develop stamina and conditioning to be ready to play. He said he feels his speed is an asset when he runs the offense, and also when he moves into the lineup at defensive back. “My goals this year is to play my best so our team can win the conference and qualify to go to the state playoffs,” he said.

Festival featured birthdays on parade Ride came as surprise to longtime resident By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Cathleen Thompson and Western Welcome Week are both proud to be “Still Alive at 85,” and Thompson got the surprise of her life to celebrate. Her birthday fell smack in the middle of Western Welcome Week this year, on Aug. 13, and that gave some WWW folks an idea. Thompson’s daughter, Kathy Thompson, is a former WWW board member and grew up with Cindy Hathaway, executive director. The two devised a grand scheme to surprise the elder Thompson with a ride in the Grand Parade on Aug. 17. “It wasn’t even on my bucket list, because I never even thought about it,” said Cathleen Thompson. Hathaway picked up mom and daughter in a golf cart at Woodlawn Shopping Center that morning, purportedly to give them a lift down to Main Street. But she said she had to make a detour to the beginning of the parade route, where Cathleen Thompson was shocked to see tons of family and friends gathered around a convertible with

Cathleen Thompson of Littleton got to celebrate her 85th birthday by riding in the 85th Western Welcome Week Grand Parade. The surprise was a special treat arranged by her daughter, Kathy Thompson. Photo by Deborah Grigsby her name on it, on loan from Mike Ward Infiniti. “And of course I had to cry,” said Thompson. “Everybody hugged me and said they loved me. I’ve really got good friends.” Coincidentally, Thompson was also celebrating 50 years in Littleton. The family moved here from North Carolina in 1963, hoping the climate would ease her ailing husband’s health. Sadly, he died five
months later, leaving her a young single mom with two kids. “She worked three or four jobs at a time to raise us,” said Kathy Thompson. “There was no public dole then, and she wouldn’t have taken it anyway, because she’s a really hard worker.” Her first job in town was at a barbecue restaurant called Georgia Boys, at Broadway and Panama Drive, where McDonald’s
is now. Then she added Columbine Country Club to the list, where she served meals to famous golfers like Arnold Palmer and even once to President Gerald Ford after he finished a round. She stayed there for 15 years before running her own restaurant, Mr. J’s on Kipling Parkway. She sold her business five years later, then went on to work 15 more years at the Mountain Bell training center on Wadsworth Boulevard. After that she “semiretired” to a part-time job at Canteen Corp. “I made coffee, sandwiches, whatever needed to be done, I could do it,” she said. Finally, at 71, she retired. “There are very, very, very few people who have her work ethic,” said Kathy Thompson. “She did hard, physical work until she was 71. She paid off that house, and she did it by herself. Truly by herself. She’s my she-ro.” She never really stopped wanting to serve people, though. She’s known for her chocolate cakes, which turn up all over town whenever she thinks somebody might like one. “She helps people,” said Kathy Thompson. “She’ll hear about somebody having a hard time and just show up to cook or shop without them even asking. She just knows what to do. She’s thoughtful like that.”
ect,” he said. “Our perception is, all the activities in Englewood and the market conditions make this a favorable time for us to build our proposed mixed-use, mixed-rental project.” He said he expects finalizing the design and obtaining the necessary permits will take eight to 12 months. Then it will take about 24 months to complete the project. The urban renewal authority was established in 1973 and became active in the early 1980s. The first project was flood control work on Little Dry Creek. That was followed in the 1983 project seeking to improve downtown businesses. The project built the King Soopers building in the 3300 block of South Broadway. The authority contracted for demolition of the buildings in the 3300 and 3400 blocks of South Acoma and Bannock streets for proposed retail development. The concept was to create a project called Trolley Square in the 3300 block of
South Broadway and along Englewood Parkway. Only a handful of tenants ever occupied Trolley Square, and the authority was unable to pay off bonds sold to build the project. Eventually the structure was demolished and became the King Soopers
parking lot. Since the 1980s, the Broadway/Englewood Parkway site has been an empty lot and the area from the alley to the 3400 block of South Acoma Street has been a parking lot.
persons convicted of certain sex offenses to live within 2,000 feet of a school, park or playground, or within 1,000 feet of a licensed day care center, recreation center or swimming pool. In 2012, a different convicted sex offender, Stephen Ryals, didn’t know about the ordinance when he bought a house near a school. He was then issued a municipal sum-
mons and told he couldn’t live there. The American Civil Liberties Union took Ryals’ case to district appeals court. On Aug. 21, the federal court ruled against the city in the Ryals case. Ryals was a soccer coach who had consensual sexual relationship with a player who was a high school student 10 years his junior. He was convicted of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust.
He was originally sentenced to probation, but violated his probation by continuing to see his victim. He was then sentenced to two years in prison. Ryals was released from prison in April 2003 and discharged from parole in October 2004. He had completed state-mandated treatment, rehabilitation and parole when he bought the house in Englewood.
