Sweet success
EDC eyes workforce in county By Amy Woodward
awoodward@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation is pushing ahead with its Forward Jeffco program, with 558 new jobs anticipated so far during the next five years for the county, the EDC reports. A first quarter report, revealed to the board of county commissioners during staff briefings last week, measured the EDC’s Forward Jeffco initiative for the first time — a program that intends to add 7,500 jobs to the county in five years. The 558 job prospects are due in part to the attractions of a few out of state engineering companies and expansions of bioscience companies like Sorin Group USA and aerospace giant Lockheed Martin. Lockheed’s national consolidation of operations is expected to bring 300 plus jobs that includes job relocations for current employees who may be moving to the area from places like Pennsylvania and Arizona. Hamon Deltak, a mechanical engineering firm from Minnesota who opened a second office in Jeffco, will attract 120 jobs to the county over the next five years. “This is the most relocation activity we’ve had out of our office in a very long time,” said Michelle Claymore, vice president of EDC. “We’ve had a really, really good first quarter.” An economic report drafted by the EDC showed a tight industrial real estate market with a 1.90 percent vacancy rate for industrial warehouses. This offers a competitive market for companies moving out of Denver and into the burbs as pot growers and merchants begin to encroach on existing spaces, Claymore said. “For industrial, everyone wants to be here,” she said. “We just have a really slow office market.” Claymore reported that a lot of companies are heading to downtown Denver and taking the younger work force with them, known as the millennial generation. The report read that millennials are looking for public transit, walkability, sporting events and inclusive environments. Citing Brookings Institution in their report, an independent research organization, Denver has become the No. 1 spot for millennials to work and live. Claymore stated the migration to Denver is part of a cyclical trend that will see businesses and millennials moving back to the burbs. “I think that’s something we really need to look at,” said Commissioner Casey Tighe. “Arvada’s light rail station is probably the most ready-made location of all light rail’s we’ve had so it will be really interesting to see when Arvada’s opens if a lot of millennials attract to an urban setting that’s outside of downtown.” According to the EDC, Jeffco’s age distribution is 43 percent over the age of 45. “We are the oldest county from an age standpoint and it seems like a lot of what’s Jobs continues on Page 15 POSTAL ADDRESS

‘Moms’ rally for common sense gun laws Local gathering draws mayor, shooting survivors By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Proponents for “common sense gun laws” assembled in Lions Park to call on community support and to call out lawmakers during a public rally the morning of April 16. The rally marked the first anniversary of a popular backed bipartisan bill that was defeated in the U.S. Senate in 2013. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., proposed to expand background checks for all gun purchases that would extend to gun shows and online sales. The bill failed to reach the 60-vote threshold to move it forward with senators voting 54 in favor and 46 against. “Congress failed to get the job done,” said Mayor Sloan, member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. “For too long the will

including some of the families affected by the 2012 movie theater shooting in Aurora who spoke out on gun violence. “Gun violence is not just an urban problem or a mass shooting problem, it can and does happen in every town,” said Tom Sullivan, father of Alex Sullivan who was killed during the Aurora theatre shooting. “I have to wonder, how many
more of these tragedies our communities must endure before somebody stands up to the gun lobby and passes laws that make us safer.” Karina Vargas, 18, sat quietly while waiting for her turn to speak. On Dec. 6, 2010, Vargas was struck by a stray bullet while going to school at Central High School in Aurora. The incident left her paralyzed from the waist down. “Someone who should not have had access to a gun took my ability to walk,” Vargas said. “I am willing to speak out as many times as I need to because sharing my story may just prevent another senseless act of gun violence from taking someone’s ability to walk or better yet — their life.” While the issue of gun access has been an ongoing discussion since the Columbine shootings in 1999, the debate has gained momentum after the country experienced two mass gun shootings in 2012 that were five Gun continues on Page 15

Long session makes for short fuses The most uttered words during any legislative session could be “bill” and “vote.” But, lately, one could make the case for other four-letter words that have bounced around the Capitol — ones that would make Quentin Tarantino blush. The session is winding down, but some lawmakers seem to be wound awfully tight. Over the last couple of weeks, tempers have flared and emotions have gotten the better of our grown men and women who create our laws. Here are a few recent examples: Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, hurled an expletive toward fellow Republican Rep. Kevin Priola of Henderson on the House floor over his role in a vote on an education bill. That confrontation preceded a vote by Republicans to oust Priola as party whip, a position from which he would resign days later. Rep. Mark Waller, a Colorado Springs Republican who is running for attorney general, barked the same expletive toward Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, after Pabon made a joke on the House floor about Waller’s delegate vote count at the recent GOP state assembly — Waller barely earned a spot on the Republican primary ballot that day. And it’s not just “Men Behaving Badly.” Reps. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, and Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen, have been at each other’s throats as well. Clearly, something’s in the water at the
Capitol these days. “It is unfortunate. I wish we could all get along,” House Speaker Mark Ferrandino said, D-Denver, doing his best Rodney King impersonation. “I think that sometimes there’s a joke that this is high school at the Capitol. Sometimes, it feels like junior high.” Junior high? It’s been more like watching the best of “The Jerry Springer Show,” sans a hooting audience egging on the behavior — well, except for the press of course. Holbert acknowledged that his comments made to Priola on the House floor recently were made out of frustration. He was upset that Priola, who was House minority whip at the time, did not support a Republican amendment to the Student Success Act, a K-12 funding measure. The amendment had to do with how schools provide transparency over financial figures. Instead, Priola voted for a competing and prevailing Democratic amendment and, seeing as how he didn’t vote for the GOP version, he did not whip up votes for the failed effort.
Holbert expressed his displeasure by walking up to Priola and hurling a comment that begins with the sixth letter in the alphabet. “Tensions were probably running a little higher than normal,” Holbert said. But high tensions are the norm when it comes to the epic Duran and Gerou rivalry. Duran is the chairwoman of the all-important Joint Budget Committee and the House ApVOTING VOTING ENDS ENDS propriations Committee. Gerou serves on the same LOG ON NOW! committees. Those committee hearings really should have been held inside steel cages this year. The two really got into it during an April 2 hearing, where you could have played a drinking game based on the number of times that Duran used her chairwoman’s gavel. Things got ugly after Gerou suggested to a lawmaker that they “make a deal” over funding for bills they were carrying. Gerou later said she was kidding. Duran took Gerou as suggesting “quid pro quo” over legislation, which is a nono. Gerou was not happy with Duran’s interpretation of her comments and let her know it. “There’s nothing that I said that was

quid pro quo,” Gerou said angrily. “And if you are imputing my nature, my ethics, madam chair, I object!” Later that day, Duran said Gerou “hasn’t acted like a state representative” this legislative session and said her conduct has been unprofessional all year. Not to be outdone, Gerou said Duran is “young enough to be my daughter” and that she doesn’t quite understand the rules involved with chairing a committee. Mr. Speaker, what’s up with your members getting all Rowdy Roddy Piper on one another? “I think during the end of session, nerves and tempers get short,” Ferrandino said. “There’s no secret that there’s no love lost between Rep. Duran and Rep. Gerou.” I suggested to Ferrandino that it would be quite entertaining to see the creation of a reality TV show called “Crisanta and Cheri” — two women who can’t stand each other, forced to live together in a city apartment, or a deserted island. The speaker said he would “neither confirm or deny that has been kicked around” as a possible skit that is part of the legislature’s end-of-the-year “Hummers” event, where lawmakers roast one another. Look, far be it from me to criticize bad behavior — after all, my cross streets are Sodom Avenue and Gomorrah Boulevard. Believe it or not, politicians are humans who sometimes say or do things they regret. It’ll be interesting to see if things settle down the rest of the session — although, I won’t be holding my breath. Gotta run, now. “Crisanta and Cheri” is on TV.

The Conversation About ‘Coming Soon’ Signs Continues at MLS and Among Realtors By JIM SMITH, Realtor ®
This is a conversation that never goes anywhere meaningful or effective. Why? The answer is rooted in concerns about interference in contracts and denying the stated wishes of sellers. First some background information. Because of the current real estate market in which any wellpriced home sells quickly with multiple offers, it has become increasingly common for listing agents to keep listings off the MLS in hopes of selling the listings themselves and making double the commission. (Otherwise, they’d have to share their commission with a buyer’s agent.) There are valid reasons, of course, for using “Coming Soon.” I use it myself frequently to alert buyers to a home and build interest in it while I finish shooting the pictures or editing my video tour. I don’t want to list a home until I have pictures for the MLS and a brochure for the brochure box. Some agents, however, install “Coming Soon” signs in front of
listings with the intention of attracting unrepresented buyers and double-ending the transaction, thereby depriving other real estate agents the opportunity to sell the property and earn a “co-op” commission. At Metrolist’s Rules & Regulations Committee meeting earlier this month, over an hour was spent discussing possible actions that could be taken to reduce the number of listings which are sold without ever going on the MLS. That conversation generated no solution. (In my experience it never does.) It was suggested that there be a rule that all listings must be entered in the MLS within a certain number of business days after the sign is put in the ground. But it is possible for the seller to sign a listing agreement with the provision, “Seller instructs broker to keep listing off the MLS.” How can the MLS go against the wishes of a seller as embodied in a signed contract? Then again, what it wasn’t the seller’s idea? What if the listing agent, hoping to convince...

Supplying the arts Spirits in the Wind Gallery hosts auction for school By Clarke Reader
creader@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Arts and the materials needed to bring them to life are in short supply in schools these days, but Pam Eggemeyer, owner of Spirits in the Wind Gallery, is looking to help out. Eggemeyer is hosting a silent benefit auction event at the gallery, 1211 Washington Ave., 6-9 p.m. Thursday, April 26, to raise money for Shelton Elementary School. Artists who will have work on display include Carol Bowker, Don Dernovich, Cheri Cappello, Gary Sorweid and Ed Slack. Talon Winery will also be on hand, and a portion of the proceeds will also go to Shelton. “I heard through the grapevine that the school was having trouble with getting the money needed for art supplies,” she said. “The school has received the Governor’s Distinguished Improvement Award for the past two years, and so I wanted to help a

school that has worked hard.” According to information provided by the Colorado Department of Education, the awards “are given to schools that demonstrate exceptional student growth. On the school performance framework that is used by the state to evaluate schools, these schools ‘exceed’ expectations on the indicator related to longitudinal academic growth and ‘meet or exceed’ expectations on the indicator related to academic growth.” Eggemeyer said that she tries to find a way to give back to the community in some way at least once a year, and usually gives to groups like The Action Center. “Art education funding is a nationwide issue, and I thought this would be a good

To gather items for auction, Eggemeyer reached out to some of her featured artists to contribute work at special prices. The items for auction range from paintings to sculpture and jewellery, and even a Crow warshirt that would usually go for around $8,400. “Many of the artists, like Nikolo Balkan-
ski, have children who are that age and so they realize how important it is to support the students,” she said. The works that are part of the auction can be seen online and some purchased in advance. For more information call 303-2791192 or visit www.spiritsinthewindgallery. com.
last week. Members from the Rotary Club of Golden along with business owners like Susan Lusk of the Red Wagon and Brent Decker of Jalopyz were in attendance during the corner meeting. “This alley is so unattractive,” Brent Decker said. “Everything that’s going on out there in Washington is not happening over here, we’re missing out on probably 96 percent of the walking traffic.” Decker has a great deal of complaints with the state of Miners Alley from trash buildup to the parking lot’s flood plain. “I have to deal with trash and grease and food and flies and cockroaches and mice,” he said. “You can’t come down this alley when there are delivery trucks, you can’t come down this alley when there is trash.” Individuals were organized into six committees that will oversee separate areas of the revitalization project including design and construction, landscaping, arts, enter-
tainment and retail/food and beverage. “We actually want to do arts and crafts for both adults and kids,” said Laura Burns who is on the arts committee and who is the business development manager of Golden Fiber Arts Studio. “People want to get out, they want to see the city, they want to make stuff and be entertained.” Soon, Burns will be renaming Golden Fiber Arts Studio into Make it in Golden which will offer jewelry classes. “Think what you can do to make it look really inviting for one day,” said Mayor Sloan. “So paint, carpet, sod, AstroTurf — whatever you’d like.” Golden’s Better Block committees will redesign Miners Alley on Friday, May 30 with a day-long public unveiling event on Saturday, May 31. For more information or to participate contact Mayor Sloan via email at msloan@cityofgolden.net. More information about Better Blocks is at www. betterblock.org.
Project applies versatile urban planning Miners Alley to get a temporary face lift By Amy Woodward
awoodward@ coloradocommunitymedia.com About 30 people gathered on the corner of 12th Street and Miners Alley for an impromptu meeting regarding a revitalization project that would change one of Golden’s most unattractive alleyways — if just for a day. On Thursday, April 17, Mayor Marjorie Sloan organized an informal meeting on the north side of Miners Alley to collaborate with business owners, community members and residents on temporarily redesigning Miners Alley. The idea is inspired by The Better Block, an approach to urban planning, created by

The Mayor’s 2013 Community Event introduced Roberts who made an informative presentation on how cities and towns can apply The Better Block. “I think the Better Block sounded so Golden,” Mayor Sloan said. Quick revitalization demonstrations have become a breakthrough technique that has cut through red tape, and transformed many towns and city infrastructures across the U.S. and overseas to Australia and Tehran, Iran. “It’s like guerrilla urban design,” said Steve Glueck, community and economic development director during the meeting

opinions / yours and ours
It’s a small, small world after all Because of the wonders of social media – and I do consider it wondrous — I was able to connect with a friend in Nepal over the weekend. He is one of my new friends, people that I met in Kathmandu, in Pokhara, and in the mountains on my treks. I met Ram in Kathmandu, a young man training as an assistant manager at the lodge where my trekking partner Jackie and I were staying. One evening, we walked with Ram to a local favorite restaurant where he ordered a wonderful meal for us and we all took photos … perhaps I should post these on social media. I met a schoolteacher outside a teahouse where Jackie and I stopped for lunch with our trekking guide. Nawaraj and I chatted about English literature, about Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson. I gave him my contact information and before we had even returned to Kathmandu, he had “friended” me on Facebook. In Pokhara, we met Narendra, one of
our guides who keeps in contact with us via email and Facebook. Both Narendra and Ram gifted us with scarves for our departure, to help keep us safe; I still keep one tied to my suitcase. We also met Gambu Sherpa – Sherpa with a capital “S” – who was our porter for a trek in the Annapurna region west of Kathmandu. Gambu is, as his name suggests, Sherpa by heritage. His family hails from the alpine regions around Mount Everest. Gambu, age 23, had not yet climbed Everest, though his father had
summited several times. Gambu Sherpa’s family makes its living working on treks, and Gambu told us that his goal is to work on Everest like his father does. That’s why, as the news came tumbling in on Friday from halfway around the world about the worst disaster to ever strike on Mount Everest, I felt as if it were hitting me right here at home. This was a feeling like the one I experienced on a plane coming back home from Washington, D.C., when I heard about the tornado that had just ripped through Windsor. All the satellite news told us at the time was that the destruction was near Denver. People I loved were in Denver … were they in danger? Or like the feelings that my friends from around the country expressed when they heard about the wildfires and floods in Colorado: Was someone they knew, someone they cared about, affected? So when Ram popped up on Facebook over the weekend to say, “Namaste,” I was
anxious for news about the avalanche on Mount Everest. When I told Ram that I was so sad for Nepal, in true Nepalese fashion, he told me he was sorry that I was sad. I haven’t been able to connect with Gambu or Narendra yet. Are people I know, people I care about, affected? In all likelihood, they and the ones they love are safe. I do ache for all the families of those who were lost, though, and I’m reaching out – through the wonders of social media – to my friends on the other side of the globe for comfort. Because when it comes to sharing this kind of hope and affection and compassion, it’s a small, small world after all. Andrea Doray is a writer who doesn’t spend a lot of time on social media – really! – but is grateful to connect with family and friends when she does. Contact her at a.doray@andreadoray.com.
question of the week
Is Denver still a Broncos’ town? The Avalanche is on fire! The Rockies have had a very strong start to their new season. And the Nuggets had just previously gone to the playoffs for 10 straight years. So we wanted to ask some of our loyal readers: Despite what our other professional teams accomplish is this still just a Broncos’ town?
“I am from California so I had a little different perspective. But now that I am a Denverite it is just nuts how these people love their Broncos.” William Russell, Denver
“I love all of our teams but I feel like the Nuggets and Rockies have some catching up to do. But the Avs have won it all twice!” Connie Yamaguchi, Highlands Ranch
“I am a big Rockies’ fan, obviously, but even I know that this is and will always be a Broncos Country.” Joel Miller, Denver
“It isn’t really fair because the other teams have had success too, but people in this state love the Broncos at just another level.” Brian Stroth, Arvada

Teacher talks are not so cheap And, so it begins. After all of, like, 27 seconds of negotiations, the teachers’ union declared an impasse, and walked out of negotiations with the new Jefferson County School Board. At issue, for the union, was the board’s apparent intention to break with the promises of the previous board vis-à-vis teacher compensation. That is to say, after Jeffco teacher salaries have been frozen, or cut, for the last several years, the last board promised that part of the mill levy increase the voters approved in 2012 would be a salary increase for teachers. This board has stated its intention to not feel beholden to that promise. For its part, the Board, when it created its budget outline, did put in place $11.7 million, earmarked for teacher compensation. The particulars of how that money was to be spent were to be part of the negotiations, though there had already been some talk of programs tying pay raises to student testing data. I’m not entirely sure the union has the strongest leg to stand on, from a public relations standpoint. I’m having a difficult time picturing Mr. Average Joe, whose wages have also remained stagnant for the last several years, who has to pay more for health insurance than he did a few years ago, and who still doesn’t have many viable options in this sluggish employment economy, being terribly sympathetic to teachers who would walk away from the very early stages of negotiations with money actually on the table. On the other hand, this board did put out a community survey a couple months
ago, asking what the community thought the right priorities should be. Teacher compensation was high on the list, and a resounding majority said that the district should not prioritize charter schools and option schools. Yet, one of the big-ticket items on the board’s initial budget outline was $3.7 million extra for charter schools. I suppose you can argue all you want that the survey answers were skewed, that a concerted effort by certain interest groups essentially rigged the results of the survey. But, ya’ know, you asked. Remember a few years back when conservatives packed Congressional town hall meetings to give feedback against Obamacare? So much so that most supporters of Obamacare ran away from the idea of town halls like my daughter runs away from itsy-bitsy spiders? But then they shuffled back to Washington and passed it, anyway. Remember that? You just did the same thing. And it’s not like we’re talking about major reforms, either, the kind of things that the general public would really like to Alcorn continues on Page 7

West Metro prepares first mail ballot election Board of directors, mill levy on ballot By Clarke Reader
creader@ coloradocommunitymedia.com The West Metro Fire Protection District is holding its first mail ballot election on May 6, and voters will vote to fill four board of director positions. Ballots were mailed out on April 14-21 and are due by May 6. “We have four seats in our districts open
for this election,” said Melissa Harrington, election officer for West Metro. “We have these elections every two years, and directors are elected for four year terms. Candidates can run for two terms.” For District 1 the two candidates are Cassie Stenstrom and Fred Clifford; for District 2, Devin Howard, Marta Murray and Dan Smith; for District 3, Tony Gonzalez, Joseph (Joe) Margotte and Clyde Wadsworth; and for District 5, Michael T. Munden. The candidates had to respond to a five-question questionnaires, including information on what three issues they see facing the district over the next five years,
what makes the candidate qualified to serve on the board and what “representative government” means to them. Residents can go to westmetrofire.org for the candidates responses, as well as contact information. Michelle French, West Metro Public Information Officer, said that there are two places for West Metro residents to drop off their ballots if they don’t want to mail them in. The first is the West Metro Fire Rescue Training Center, 3535 S. Kipling St., and the Administration Building, 433 S. Allison Parkway. The locations are open through May 5, from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. and on May
6 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Hollister said that residents will vote for all four seats. The positions are voted on at large, and the winners represent the specific districts. “We’re not sure what the response is going to be like since mail ballots like this are new to us,” she said. “Whenever we have a bond issue, we get larger numbers. When we did the last mill levy eight years ago, we had around 5,000 votes. When it’s just a director election we get less than 1,000.” For questions about the election, contact Hollister at 720-963-6310.
Breaking new ground for services building Action Center starts work on Program Services Building By Clarke Reader
creader@ coloradocommunitymedia.com The Action Center’s friends, volunteers and donors were on hand on April 15 for an event that was more than a groundbreaking for its new Program Services Building. It was also the beginning of a brand new way of providing service to the center’s clients, those in Jefferson County who need some of the most help. “This a day that has been seven years in the making,” Mag Strittmatter, executive director of the center, told those in attendance at the groundbreaking. “This event is not really about the building — it’s what is going to happen within.” The construction of the Program Services Building is the first part of a threephase capital campaign called “Investing for a Better Tomorrow.” The campaign will create a plan that will meet the needs of the community for the next 20 years.
According to Shermita West, of the campaign steering committee, phase one aims to provide more effective services for clients and involves the costs of renovating the new space and paying back the loans necessary to purchase the property. The new services building will be in the Cottonwood office complex, which is next to the center’s current location. The building will be completely renovated by Pinkard Construction. Dave Norwood, chair of the steering committee for the project, spoke about the history of the center, and all the work that has gone into getting the capital campaign so far. He said that while there has been a lot of success in raising funds for the project, much more is still needed. Action Center board president and Ward 2 councilwoman Cindy Baroway described this first step toward getting the new Program Services Building as the visualization of a dream that many have had for years. “It was an easy decision for our city council to support the Action Center,” Arvada mayor Marc Williams said. “Arvada residents our the second largest user group at the center, so we have a responsibility to help out.”
The crowd gathered for the Action Center’s groundbreaking. Photo by Clarke Reader Jeffco Commissioners Faye Griffin, Casey Tighe and Don Rosier were on hand to lend their support to the center’s efforts and read a proclamation congratulating Strittmatter and the center’s volunteers and staff on breaking ground.
“Don’t every stop what you’re doing, because it is needed,” Rosier said. Baroway said the hope is to have the new building finished by the fall. For more information, call 303-2377704 or visit www.theactioncenterco.org.
Youth tanning legislation fails again By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Once again, an effort to curb artificial tanning among youths has failed at the Legislature. House Bill 1054 died after it failed to garner enough support to make it out of a Senate committee last week. The bill would have prohibited persons under 18 from using artificial tanning devices, particularly tanning beds. It is the third year in a row that a youth tanning bed restriction bill has died at the Capitol. “I was disappointed because I believe this is a very important piece of legislation to protect young children,” said Sen. Lois Tochtrop, D-Thornton, a bill sponsor. Tochtrop and other bill supporters cited the potentially cancer-causing ultraviolet rays that emit from tanning beds as motivation behind the effort. They believed that it was in the state’s best interest to prevent youths from using artificial tanning devices, because it would result in fewer cases of life-threatening melanoma

see us talk about. The money for charter schools is just to increase per-pupil spending to bring it closer to what the neighborhood schools spend. And the money for teachers is not to pilot innovative training or staffing models — it’s largely just to restore some of the salary lost by more experienced teachers. In other words, when the general public looks at public education and shakes it’s collective head, well, I can understand why. On one side of the table is a team that seems intent on ignoring the feedback they asked for from the public, and on the other side is a team that has coor-
skin cancer. More than 30 states place some sort of limitations on youth tanning. Had the bill become law, businesses would have faced stiff fines for allowing youths to use their tanning devices. The bill had previously passed the House and a Senate committee prior to its demise in the Senate Appropriations Committee. The bill failed on a vote of 4-3, with Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, joining committee Republicans in voting against the bill. The bill faced stiff odds even before it got to the Senate. It passed the Democrat-majority Senate by just two votes, with four Democrats voting against the effort. Many who opposed the bill said the effort was a government overreach that takes away the rights of parents to make their own decisions of what’s best for their children. The legislation was of particular importance to Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster, the House bill sponsor.

dinated and staged a high-profile game of brinksmanship. And in the middle of the table is well over half a billion dollars of the general public’s money. One interesting side note from all this: after an impasse is declared, the terms of the contract dictate that all further negotiations must happen through a mediator, and must happen behind closed doors. So, if one side or the other had a vested interest in the public NOT seeing the negotiation process, then they just got their way. I’ll leave it up to you to conclude for yourselves who benefits more from that kind of secrecy. Michael Alcorn is a music teacher and fitness instructor who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. He graduated from Alameda High School and the University of Colorado-Boulder.

Almy eyes Jeffco Sheriff’s seat County primary set for June 24 By Amy Woodward
awoodward@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Brett Almy, who is a registered Libertarian, will be the only non-Republican candidate for Jefferson County Sheriff this year. His approach to his campaign begins with the slogan, “Common sense Law Enforcement” with an agenda that aims to address deputy retention and adjusting arrest procedures that foster a “friendlier approach to the public,” while decreasing the county jail population. An Evergreen native and former Jeffco
sheriff’s deputy, Almy left the sheriff’s office in 1994 to become a small businessman in bail bonds. He is a state approved bail agent and bail recovery instructor having trained bounty hunters and bail bonding agents. In July of 2010, Almy was diagnosed with stage 2 prostate cancer, leading to a medical battle that left him bankrupt in Almy the end. After two years of being in remission, Almy said his businesses are bouncing back with planned school expansions in Nevada and California. “It’s a fresh start,” Almy said. “It’s either die or fight back.”
Embarking on his fresh start includes his bid for Jeffco Sheriff. With his experiences, Almy is visibly business minded when looking through the sheriff’s 2013 payroll. “We have to find a way to compete but we also have to have a fiscal responsibility,” Almy said. “That’s just part of a big business like that.” While deputies and sheriff officials have said that low-paying salaries and a lack of raises are the reasons behind high turn-over, the 2013 payroll showed a diverse pay range for deputies ranging from $41,755.06 to $106,264. “The salary is a maze,” Almy said. While retention is an important priority, Almy is also focused on the overall finances and management of the sheriff’s office budget which includes a hard look at

New business group seeks to build relationships Roundtable’s leaders have vision of collaborative platform By Hannah Garcia
hgarcia@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Two business leaders are trying to build a consortium of sorts to unite entities with economic interests. The Colorado Business Roundtable is in its infancy, with executive director Jeff Wasden and president Gayle Dendinger starting discussions to form the group in February and taking concrete actions in March. “Everyone we’ve approached has been
really optimistic about the group,” Wasden said. “Nobody’s said ‘no.’” Wasden is also the owner of PROformance Apparel in Littleton and vice chair of public affairs for the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. Dendinger is the CEO of shipping company CAP Logistics and publisher of ICOSA, an economic media company. Although both men are well versed in a business environment, Wasden and Dendinger said the roundtable is a collaborative effort that deviates from the corporate model. “It’s all about setting up connections and building relationships,” Dendinger said. Dendinger said he first attempted to found a Colorado-based business roundta-
ble in 2001, but between the 9/11 attacks in New York City and the fizzle of the dot-com boom, 54 percent of members went out of business and the collaborative died out. With the economy making a recovery and the CBRT building momentum, Dendinger said he hopes participants will adopt a new philosophy. “Instead of shrinking, market harder,” Dendinger said. The group has various goals in different arenas, from public policy to education and plans to work with other organizations like Colorado Concerns on immigration issues and the South Metro Chamber on hydraulic fracturing. The group held its first event in Lone Tree on April 16 in conjunction with other organizations to discuss a study by the University of Colorado Leeds
School of Business regarding the impact of a fracking ban on Colorado’s economy. Wasden said a big part of the mission is education. Dendinger said access to ICOSA will be big part of that. “Part of what we’re trying to accomplish is an organization of doers, who want to create the best and brightest in the state,” Wasden said. “We want to partner with other organizations for diversity and strength, to get that extra lens. Instead of working in a vacuum, the idea is to leverage and multiply, then educate.” The group operates under the larger umbrella Business Roundtable in Washington, D.C., which has roundtables in 25 other states in its network, Dendinger said. “It’s a sustainable model that endures, but also gets things done,” Dendinger said.

West Metrolife Euclid Hall gets magazine nod Denver’s Euclid Hall, in Larimer Square, has been praised for its food, mainly because of James Beard Awardnominated chef Jorel Pierce and co-owner Jennifer Jasinski, a “Top Chef Masters” finalist. Add one of America’s best beer bars to the accolades, courtesy of Travel + Leisure magazine. Here’s some of what T+L wrote about Euclid Hall: Jessica Cann and Jules Bouchard’s expert sourcing have made this brick-walled 1863 landmark building one of the best beer halls in all of Colorado — and according to Food & Wine, one of America’s best gastropubs in one of America’s best cities for foodies. Locals belly up for 12 taps, beer cocktails, and an extensive menu of bottles and cans quirkily ranked by mathematical difficulty (“Arithmetic” session beers to strong, complex bad boys under “Quantum Mechanics”). Bestsellers like Boulevard’s Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale and Avery IPA get paired with way-above-average bar bites by Jorel Pierce. Visit www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-best-beer-bars/9 for more information or go to www.EuclidHall.com to learn more about the restaurant.

‘Great Gatsby’ takes audiences to the gilded age By Clarke Reader
creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” may be one of the most ubiquitous American novels, but that’s only because so much of the desires of Americans and human nature is packed into one novel. The Arvada Center is offering a chance for audiences to dive back into the age of jazz in New York City with its regional premiere of Simon Levy’s 2006 adaptation of the novel. “The Great Gatsby” will be playing at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., April 29 through May 25. Performances are Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday at 1 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Due to popular demand three 1 p.m. matinees have been added on Thursdays, May 1, 8 and 15. “We had a conversation about the book, and wanted to make sure we were following the script while balancing some of the iconic moments from the novel,” director Gavin Mayer said. “That’s always the challenge of adaptation, especially with a story so many people love.” The story is told through the eyes of Nick Carraway (Graham Ward), an implant to New York City who gets a job as a bond salesman and lives in the village of West Egg, across the bay from his cousin Daisy Buchanan (Jamie Ann Romero), who lives with her old-monied husband Tom Buchanan (C. Clayton Blackwell). Nick lives next door to an enormous mansion owned by a mysterious Mr. Gatsby (Anthony Bianco), who throws enormous and lavish parties on regular basis, but is seemingly unknown by all his guests. When Nick receives the only to one of Gatsby’s parties, his life — as well as that of Tom and Daisy — changes forever. “Nick is the observer, and we get to know Gatsby through his eyes,” Ward said. “In a way, Nick is also Fitzgerald and so it’s important that you stay true to
the tone of the novel.” Daisy is one of WHAT: “The Great Gatsby” the most famously WHERE: Arvada Center mercurial women 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada in American ficWHEN: April 29 through May 25 tion, and Romero Tuesday - Saturday - 7:30 p.m. said those changWednesday - 1 p.m. ing emotions can Saturday-Sunday - 2 p.m. be difficult to Due to popular demand three 1 p.m. track, even if they matinees have been added on Thurscome from an days, May 1, 8 and 15. understandable COST: $38-$53 place.

According to Ward, Romero and Bianco, the novel was always on hand, and provided the actors with acting tips and motivations. “Nick says a lot about Gatsby’s physicality, so we really took a lot of ideas from the book,” Bianco said. There have been debates since “The Great Gatsby” was published about Gatsby’s character — is he hopeful, delusional, or some mixture of both? All involved in the production have their own thoughts, but one thing that they all share is how impactful the story is. “History repeats itself, and that’s a theme you’ll see over and over in the story,” Mayer said. “It’s so relevant to our times, and shows just how it’s a timeless novel.” For more information, call 720-898-7200 or visit www.arvadacenter.org.

One of my favorite TV news characters, Kirk Montgomery, is leaving 9News. According to a Denver Post story, the entertainment reporter-anchor at KUSAChannel 9 since 2001, is out at 9News. He will move to at WILX, the NBC affiliate in Lansing, Mich., reportedly to become anchor of a new 4 p.m. newscast. Montgomery announced his exit on his Facebook page April 16 after joking on the 4:30 p.m. broadcast about growing up in Michigan (and spending time on a llama farm). He earlier wrote about not being offered a full one-year contract at Channel 9. On Twitter he said, “Mixed emotion I say goodbye to CO and @9NEWS on 5/9/14.” Good luck, Kirk!
Zappolo, Adams hired by 9News
Speaking of 9News, the news ratings leader has hired former Fox 31 news anchor Ron Zappolo and ex-Rocky Mountain News sports columnist Sam Adams for an “experiment” in a segment of its newscast, The Denver Post reported. Zappolo retired a year ago after five years in the anchor chair at Fox 31 and stints as a sports anchor for KCNC-Channel 4 and then 9News. According to The Post story, Zappolo and Adams (now a comedian who has worked for several Denver TV stations) will talk sports within the weekend newscast.

Walnut Room update complete
The Walnut Room has completed an expansion and renovation of the kitchen at its River North location, 3131 Walnut St. The six-week project doubled the size of The Walnut Room’s original kitchen, providing much-needed space to accommodate upgraded equipment, including two new pizza ovens. “These changes will allow us to run our food operations more efficiently and pro-
vide better quality food to our patrons,” said John Burr, owner of The Walnut Room. The larger kitchen will make it easier for Chef Jonah Munson to eventually expand the restaurant’s menu, which features an array of pizzas, sandwiches and salads. Music fans may also notice that The Walnut Room’s concert hall also includes a new bar, since the last one was removed to make way for the new kitchen. The music venue still has capacity for 180 people for concerts and can host up to 65 for seated events, such as rehearsal dinners or private receptions. While concerts were suspended during the construction, the venue has resumed its regular slate of shows, which includes Simon Townshend of The Who on May 3.
Pantaleone’s gets a lift

Judging from the conclusion, the pizza and pasta place run by the Fafalios family — husband and wife, Pete and Paulette and their son, Josh — the results seem to have improved the place at 2120 S. Holly St. in south Denver. “Kitchen Nightmares” gave Pantaleone’s a fresh look with black-and-white painted walls and old family photos on the walls, replacing the nearly 30-year-old rave reviews of the place and a “scary” clown hologram. In the end, the restaurant was full of diners, including a couple of beauty queens and Denver City Councilman Charlie Brown. Ramsay didn’t convince Pete to open on Sundays, though they will open to private parties. But Pantaleone’s is finally offering delivery, when Ramsay gave them a van with the restaurant name on it. Pete seemed happy with the experience and gave his son more say in the business. “Chef Ramsay is a remarkable, remarkable man,” Pete said. “I am very grateful to him. I love you, you old Brit!”
“Kitchen Nightmares” went to Arvada’s The Old Neighborhood in an episode that aired April 18 (you can catch it On Demand).

Springing into a new concert You’ve heard the expression “spring is in the air” and the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra certainly has that in mind with their upcoming Celebration of Spring concert on Sunday, May 4. It will be 3 p.m. in the Green Center on the Colorado School of Mines campus. It seems that a lot of composers were inspired by the weather getting warmer and flowers starting to bloom and they wanted to capture the essence of spring in their musical works. Four of those springtime tributes will be featured in this musical performance. There are two composers featured who wrote music about each season, and thus their Four Seasons compositions were created. This concert will feature spring from each of those works. The first was Antonio Vivaldi in 1723 and his work on the subject has become one of classical music’s most cherished and performed standards. Each season has a concerto theme that has become instantly recognizable and never fails to bring
delight to an audience. This was a rather ambitious work as the entire composition consists of three movements per season, so there are twelve actual pieces of music in his Four Seasons. The second is 20th century composer Astor Piazzolla’s “The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires,” which was actually originally conceived as four separate pieces but later combined into one suite. They are all tangos, which is fitting for Argentina and Piazzolla was known as one of the worlds foremost composers and performers of tango music. This should add a bit of South American flare to the concert.
The third seasonal tribute is one of the most famous works involving Spring, Igor Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. Written in 1913 and originally conceived as a ballet, this is a very moving composition that is always a delight to any audience. It has a lot of flavor from Russian folk music but also incorporates Stravinsky’s masterful touch and has become one of the most popular pieces of music ever composed. As a fourth addition the concert will also feature Aaron Copeland’s Shaker Medley and Prayer. This is another instantly recognizable melody that has become one of the Great American Themes and has been used in countless movies and television programs. It’s a part of Copeland’s Appalachian Spring which was also originally created as a ballet, but since then has become a beloved orchestral piece that stands alone. The Jefferson Symphony’s Celebration of Spring probably wouldn’t be complete without a special guest artist, so Violinist Giga Romero will be featured as a soloist.
She is an amazing performer who has been the acting concert master for the JSO but has an outstanding resume of performances with everything from major symphonies to Earth, Wind and Fire. The concert will be conducted by Dr. William Morse. Ticket prices are Adults $22, Senior (62-plus) $17, children (10 and under) $5 and there are group rates available for 10 or more, so gather up all your friends and make it a party! For more information and to order tickets, go to www.jeffersonsymphonyorchestra. org or give them a call at 303-278-4237. This should be enough springtime music to carry you into summer, so put on those bright colored clothes and make it a great Sunday afternoon.
enjoyed my tenure at The West Chamber immensely and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity I was given to serve this Chamber and each of you.” In his letter Willms went on to thank the board of directors of The West Chamber, the Chamber’s staff and Ambassadors, Jefferson County’s business community and the many representatives from Jeffco’s various partnering agencies, organizations and local governments. “I’m really proud of the new Jefferson County Hall of Fame category at our Chairman’s Inaugural Celebration, which will now be a year-round theme,” Willms said. “The true consistency that we have set up at our Taste of the West event is great as well.” Willms said that he is so pleased with
the direction that the chamber is going, and said he is disappointed that he will miss some of the new projects, like the local government affair committee, the Spark program and a new partnership with Red Rocks Community College. According to Joni Inman, chair of the Chamber’s board of directors, Willms will be greatly missed as president. “He’s been a great CEO and has put us in a great place as a chamber,” she said. The search for a new president has already launched, and the chamber will stop accepting applicants at 5 p.m. on April 18. “We’ve gotten some great applicants so far, and once we end the searching process, we will look at them all and decide who to bring in for interviews,” Inman said. “From there it goes to the full board for approval.”
Inman said the chamber hopes to have the new president hired in time to overlap with Willms, so they can spend some time with him before he leaves. “The thing I’ll probably miss most is the chamber members and staff,” Willms said. “It’s been a blessing to have been a part of where Jeffco is going.” Inman said all of Willm’s efforts have made the chamber an exciting place to be. “This is a great time in the chamber, and we’re in growth mode,” she said. “Thanks to Brian, the president position is a great job to come into.” For more information on the search for a new president www.westchamber.org/ newceo.

Wheat ridge continues roll through Jeffco No. 1 seems to fit the unbeaten in league Farmers well By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ coloradocommunitymedia.com LAKEWOOD - Some teams don’t really like the pressure of being No. 1 and they simply don’t wear it very well. Wheat Ridge boys’ lacrosse wears No. 1 like a glove, evident by their 20-1 league victory over Green Mountain Friday at Trailblazer Stadium. 4A’s top ranked team flex their muscle against their Jeffco foe, taking a 9-1 lead into halftime in a game that was never close. The victory was the Farmers fifth straight as Wheat Ridge improves to 5-0 in Foothills league standings. On Monday the Farmers beat up Conifer 18-0 at Trailblazer, getting seven goals from senior John Roach. The state’s reigning 4A state champs lost quite a bit to graduation last season and it was unknown if Wheat Ridge would again
have enough to be one of the best teams in the state. But all the Farmers have done this season is look every bit as solid as their title team — and maybe even better in some areas. Roach, perhaps the best single talent in the entire state, already has 30 goals and 20 assists this season and counting. In addition, junior Dima Makarov has 24 goals and 15 assists this season, making the duo almost impossible to defend. But understated this season has been the play of Wheat Ridge senior goaltender Jensen Makarov, who has won five games this season including a pair of shutouts. The trio has helped the Farmers maintain their No. 1 ranking as well as status of being the favorite to win it all again. However, while Wheat Ridge has gotten better as the season has gone on, several other teams have also dramatically improved over the past two seasons and a couple teams in the Farmers’ league also have designs on a deep playoff run. Thompson Valley and Alexander Dawson both sit right next to Wheat Ridge in the Foothill league standings, and Thompson Valley is actually tied with the Farmers
Wheat Ridge sophomore Austin Haid tried to create some offense for his Wheat Ridge teammates during their 18-0 victory over Conifer last Monday at Trailblazer Stadium. Photo by Daniel Williams with a 5-0 league record. In addition, both teams have actually outscored Wheat Ridge this season. But what makes the Farmers so special isn’t just their offense, it is their stout defense
and goaltending that has given up the fewest amount of goals in their league with 69. Wheat Ridge (9-3, 5-0 in league) will play Golden at Trailblazer Stadium Friday, at 5:30 p.m.
Baseball Highlights: Wheat ridge on a roll A-West and Bear Creek slug it out; D’Evelyn hold off Alameda By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ coloradocommunitymedia.com
Farmers continue to plow 4A Jeffco Wheat Ridge continues its tear through 4A Jeffco with its latest victim being Green Mountain in their 15-11 victory Saturday at
Green Mountain High School. The two teams combined for 28 runs but Nick Ricigliano stole the show with his ridiculous statline that had him going 4-for-7 with five RBI. Ricigliano also scored three times as well. Green Mountain sophomore Wyatt Featherston had his own big day going 3-for-5 with two RBI and three runs scored. The Rams, knowing a league title was hanging in the balance, were awesome offensively. The Farmers, however, have already proven themselves as one of the best 4A teams in the state.
Wheat Ridge (11-2, 8-0 in Jeffco) will play Conifer Thursday at 4 p.m. Green Mountain (9-4, 5-3 in Jeffco) will host Golden Thursday at 4 p.m.
Pirates fall just sort of upset bid
“Streaky” has defined the 2014 version of D’Evelyn baseball who beat Alameda 6-2 Saturday at D’Evelyn High School. The Jaguars struck first and last, and were able to generate runs despite solid Pirates’ pitching. D’Evelyn got a pair of RBI from sophomore Mitch Menard and senior Caleb Rold
also drove in a run. But the Jaguars have also been very streaky this season owning a four game losing streak, as well as a three game winning streak. Alameda sophomore Daniel Sanchez went 3-for-4 but there was no one on base for him to drive in. The Pirates (1-10, 0-8 in 4A Jeffco) will host Arvada Thursday at 4 p.m. The Jaguars (7-6, 5-3 in 4A Jeffco) will Baseball continues on Page 20

Golden gives ones away late
Golden scored two late runs to tie the game but Conifer went walkoff in their 8-7 victory Saturday at Conifer High School. The Demons were down 7-5 going into the final inning before tying the game up behind the bats of junior’s
Ryan Katzman and Jesse Capaul. But Conifer senior Cade Colosanti finished Golden off after his big 4-for4 effort where he also scored a pair of runs himself. The Demons have now lost three in a row but they are still in the mix to finish in the top half of the 4A Jeffco standings. Golden (4-9, 3-5 in Jeffco) will play at Green Mountain Thursday at 4 p.m.
A-West gets huge league win over B.C. Arvada West got an important league victory beating Bear Creek 6-3 Saturday at Bear Creek High School.
Five different Wildcats had multiple hits including senior Allen Martin who went 2-for-3, scoring twice. Bear Creek sophomore Christian Hiep went 2-for-3 with an RBI, but the Bear could not generate any early inning offense. Both teams currently sit as top for teams in 5A Jeffco but they are also both looking up at undefeated Chatfield. The Bears (8-6, 2-1 in Jeffco) will host Dakota Ridge Monday at 4 p.m. A-West (9-5, 3-0 in Jeffco) will host Chatfield Saturday at 11 a.m., in a game that could end up being for a 5A Jeffco championship.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF ApRil 14, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You’re doing better on the flexibility issue, but you still need to loosen up a bit to show you can be less judgmental and more understanding about certain sensitive matters. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your personal aspect continues to dominate this week. But try to make time to deal with important career-linked matters as well. A change of plans might occur by the weekend. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Excuses are not really needed for much of the confusion occurring this week. However, explanations from all parties could help in working things out to everyone’s satisfaction.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) That surprising (but pleasant) recent turn of events continues to develop positive aspects. But be prepared for a bit of a jolt on another issue that needs attention. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Creating a fuss might bring you that attention you want. But are you prepared for all the explaining you’d have to do? Better to use more subtle ways to make your bid. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) With education continuing to be a strong factor this week, this could be the time to start learning some new skills that can later be applied to a bid for a potential career move. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You might do well to reconsider some of your current time priorities before you get so deeply involved in one project that you neglect meeting a deadline on another. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) With an important decision looming, you need to be careful about the information you’re getting. Half-truths are essentially useless. Get the full story before you act. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Find out what everyone’s role is expected to be before accepting that workplace proposal. Getting all the facts now could prevent serious problems later on. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A flexible position on a workplace matter could be the best course to follow during the next several days. A personal issue also benefits from an open-minded approach. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) involving too many people in your workplace problem can backfire. Remember: Allegiances can shift. Ask trusted colleagues for advice, but don’t ask them to take sides. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Before submitting your suggestions, take more time to sharpen the points you want to make. The clearer the presentation, the more chance it has to get through when submitted. BORN THIS WEEK: Your clear sense of who you are gives you confidence when you need to tackle difficult situations. © 2014 King Features Synd., inc.

dwilliams@ coloradocommunitymedia.com ARVADA - D’Evelyn survived Thompson Valley to win the 2014 Jeffco Invitational by just two points Friday at Meyers Pool. The Jaguars team score of 252 was slightly better than Thompson Valley’s 250, and Arapahoe finished third with a score of 208. Seven different Jeffco teams, both 4A and 5A, all finished in the top 13 of the meet including Lakewood in sixth with 172 points, Pomona in seventh with 164 points, Green Mountain in ninth with 104 points, Ralston Valley in 11th with 88 points and Wheat Ridge finished 13th with 67 points. But it was D’Evelyn whose depth won them the meet, including having two event winners. Jake Sbarbaro won the 100 fly in 53.12, and the Jaguar clocked the fastest time in preliminaries as well. In addition, D’Evelyn’s Daniel Garber won the 100 breast in 58.34, outlasting
Eagles Continued from Page 20
the state, already has 17 goals and 12 assists this season. Senior Madison Batug scored the Eagles’ fifth goal and Faith Christian took a 3-0 lead into halftime. Faith Christian’s big win was in response to a 4-0 loss to Kent Denver just a day before. The Eagles competed with the Sun Devils early in the contest but Kent Denver kept pressuring Faith Christian’s defense
Grandview’s Tristen Mosby who finished second. Pomona also had an event winner as Keegan Foukle won the 200 individual medley with a time of 1:54.51, over two full seconds in front of the Jaguars’ Graber. Thompson Valley, regarded as one of the top teams in the state, flexed their muscle and took home three different events including 100 back, 500 free and 200 medley relay. But D’Evelyn had enough top ten finishes throughout the 12 events that it gave them enough points to beat Thompson Valley and the rest of the field. Standley Lake once again had the meet’s best diver as Trent Kindvall held off two other divers to win the one-meter with a score of 466.20 points. Arapahoe had the second best diver with Anthony Beltiz finishing second with 454.35 points and Thompson Valley finished with the third and fourth best divers. Other top finishers included Bear Creek’s Spencer Shaffer who finished fourth in the 50 free with a swift time of 23.07. Ralston Valley’s Addison Coed took fourth in the 100 back with a time of 55.89. And Green Mountain’s Ethan Schick took third in the 100 fly with a time of 53.97. until it finally broke through. Kent Denver took a 2-0 lead into halftime and had four different goal scorers in the win — which was a big one in terms of league play. The Sun Devils still sit on top of the Metro League 6 standings with their 5-1 league record, now comfortably ahead of Faith Christian at a 3-2 league record. However, the Eagles’ 7-3 overall record is better than Kent Denver and every team in the league but Jefferson Academy, who owns an 8-2 overall record. The Eagles, who have won three of their last four games, will play at Liberty Common Saturday at 11 p.m
