POSTAL ADDRESS
Judging from the facial expressions, particularly the smiles, it appeared students attending the Sept. 11 performance of “Androcles and the Lion” enjoyed the play. Students’ enthusiasm and excitement weren’t dampened by the fact that rainy weather forced the Theater in the Park event to move to the Englewood Middle School auditorium. Students from Englewood elementary schools and a couple private schools arrived by bus, filed in and took seats as assigned by the organizers. The hum of more than 400 young voices filled the air until it was time for the performance to begin. The noise level seemed to increase as the audience got anxious while waiting for the play to start. So, two or three times, teachers organized impromptu short activities that included standing up,
clapping hands and swinging arms over their heads. When it was show time, the children got quiet as Hillary Davis, children’s librarian, introduced the program and turned the microphone over to a member of the theater group who introduced the characters. As each performer came on stage to greet the audience, the narrator told a little about the character the individual was portraying. There was the slave Androcles and, of course, the lion. There also the Androcles’ evil mistress, the Roman soldier and the girl he wished to wed, who was being looked after by the evil mistress. The excitement rose when Paul Noel Florihal, who played the lion, was introduced and then told the members of the audience they could join him growling and roaring. Joseph McCrory’s face and reactions indicated he was really focused on the play. “I liked it a lot,” the Clayton fourth-grader said after the performance. “I liked the fact there was a lot of funny sarcasm used. I liked being able to take part and I growled really loudly with the lion.” Androcles continues on Page 23

Englewood City Council voted 4-3 in a Sept. 8 study session to give consensus approval to a developer’s request for tax credits for the project that would demolish the old Masonic Temple and replace it with a 179-unit affordable housing project for seniors. Councilmember Jill Wilson said this is the third affordable housing project proposed for the city, and because there are three affordable housing complexes for seniors in the area, she would oppose the request. Mayor Randy Penn didn’t agree. He said he felt it would be a great location for affordable housing for seniors because it is near shopping and medical facilities. He added that recent reports indicate Englewood doesn’t have enough affordable housing. Because it was a study session, no official vote could be taken. However, a consensus of the majority of council members would provide the OK to write a letter to the authority supporting the apartment project. The mayor polled each member of the council, asking for his or her support or opposition to the project. Penn, Mayor Pro Tem Linda Olson and Councilmembers Joe Jefferson and Bob McCaslin supported the project. Councilmembers Wilson, Rick Gillit and Steve Yates stated their opposition. The proposal came to the city council because the developer seeks affordable housing tax credits from the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority. As with any tax credit request, the authority asks for comments from the local government on the proposal. Alan White, community development director, said the proposed project would be built on the long-vacant location at 3500 S. Sherman St. He said this proposal seeks a different type of tax credits than the two other affordable housing projects applying for tax credits from the authority: the Foundry proposed on the General Iron site and the Broadway Lofts being proposed for the 3400 block of South Acoma Street. “This project is being proposed by a Seattle developer,” White said. “The Englewood Housing Authority has indicated its willingness to partner with the developer for this project.” He said the property has been vacant for more than 10 years. In that time, several proposals have been made but none has gone forward. The proposal is to tear down the old Masonic Temple to clear the 2.5 acre site. The artist renderings for the project show a modern-style apartment building on the location. The building would be four stories high and the proposal is that all parking would be in an underground lot on site. The 179 units in the project would be reserved for senior citizens making 60 percent of the area median income. The report on the project states 60 percent of median income for an individual is $30,180 a year and 60 percent of AMI for a two-person household is $34,480. The community development report to the council noted there are 746 rentassisted units among the 14,967 rental units in Englewood. Not all the affordable housing units are set aside for seniors.

For dad and daughter, a game that two can coach Caley Mitchell stands next to third base, a white baseball cap shading her eyes, a single braid running down her back. Intensity radiates from her small frame as she leans her hands on her knees and looks toward the batter at home plate. “OK, line drive, two-three, you can do it,” she says. “Big zone, fight it off. Good job.” She claps several times. “You can do it. Right here.” The batter strikes out. New inning. “All right, let’s go, hustle,” Caley tells her players as they run onto the field. “Hey, a lot of eyes … you never know, you never know.” In another ballpark, on another day, Toby Tabola, sunglasses perched atop the baseball cap on his head, paces next to third base, stops to send his batter her signals, then leans his hands on his knees. “Get it started, six. C’mon, you can do it,” he says, his voice quiet, confident. “Don’t give up here. You got it. Good job.” He claps and nods encouragement. “C’mon, six, go get it.” The ball pops up. New inning. Toby steps into the dugout, but his words follow the players as they take the field. “A lot of eyes, ladies. Let’s go!” If you listen and watch closely, the similarities between the two softball coaches are apparent. What they say. Mannerisms. How they play the game. Not surprising when you learn they are father and daughter. But what defines them is what you can’t see — the story behind the game, one that tells of family and love, legacies instilled, life lessons well learned. “Being part of something bigger than yourself, such as a team, teaches people to be humble and to put the greater good before yourself,” Caley says. “Being involved in a team sport is one of the best things that ever happened to me. My dad taught me this from a very young age, and I try to instill that in
my players — that belonging to a team, and experiencing the joys and challenges that come with it, is truly a blessing.” The story begins when Caley, now 29, was just 4. Her grandparents sponsored a longtime men’s fast-pitch team, Stenseth Agency. Toby, now 56, played on his own fast-pitch team. Caley always tagged along. “She grew up around the ballparks watching tournaments and watching me play,” Toby says. “She was kind of born into the culture.” Toby, a high school psychology and sociology teacher who retired in 2012 after 32 years, coached football in his early days. Friday night games meant Caley riding with the coaches, eating sunflower seeds, grabbing Cokes at the gas station. “I have vivid memories of sitting and coloring and listening to the coaches strategizing,” Caley says. “I was always part of a team situation. That’s why I love this.” Around 6 years old, Caley picked up a bat for T-ball. Softball started the next year. She joined a competitive summer team at 11, and Toby began coaching her then. “We had a very good father-daughter, coach-player relationship,” Toby says. Caley paid attention to fundamentals. She listened. She learned. She didn’t get angry when her dad corrected her. “She was a joy to coach.” Caley laughs. She points out at her wed-
ding, in his toast at the reception, Toby noted how “she was a very coachable kid.” In high school, Caley played second base and was good enough to earn all-league honors. A shoulder injury the summer before her senior year changed plans to play in college. Instead, she focused on becoming a social studies teacher. But during the 2006-07 school year, while she was student teaching, she also found her way back to softball as an assistant coach — for her dad, in his first year as head coach at Ponderosa High School in Parker. The next year, Castle View High School in Castle Rock hired Caley to teach. And after three years as assistant softball coach there, she became head coach. The two schools are league rivals. Caley: “The first time we played each other, my dad hugged me at the plate and … gave me a white rose.” Then they exchanged lineups. Toby: “It was a special moment. This is pretty cool to go up to home plate to compete against your daughter. I really didn’t care about winning or losing — it was a cool moment.” The two admittedly mirror each other in many ways. Caley: “I find myself saying things all the time that I think, `I must say that ‘cause you say that.’ ” Toby: “Our philosophies are way similar.” Caley: “Yeah, because I got it from you.” Toby: “A lot of thought went into that philosophy.” Caley: “It’s a great philosophy.” The philosophy is small ball or as Toby calls it, “smart ball.” Or as Caley explains, bunting. Toby: “She knows everything I’m going to do, pretty much. She knows when I’m going to bunt.” Caley: “‘Cause it’s always when I would bunt.”

They both believe in the life lessons taught by the game. Toby: “It builds character. You’re forced to face challenges; you don’t get everything you want when you want it. … You can’t be successful if you’re selfish. It forces you to be bigger than yourselves.” Caley isn’t surprised she’s walking in her dad’s footsteps. “I knew I wanted to be a teacher and a coach from a very young age,” Caley says. “I’ve had a really good role model. Even if other parts of his life were stressful, my dad would always say, `I like my job.’ He was always happy in what he was doing. … He showed that he could have such a large sphere of influence and that choosing a career based on what you love is way more important than money or status.” Toby, for his part, couldn’t be prouder of Caley. Facing her on the softball field — where their bond has been nurtured — is an unexpected bonus. “It’s been a blessing,” he says, “a total blessing.” Caley and Toby haven’t played each other yet this year. The matchup should be good — the teams boast two of the state’s best pitchers. Someday, Caley would like Toby to coach with her. They look at each other: Wouldn’t that be fun? And wouldn’t that just be a fitting end to the story behind this game. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

ENGLEWOOD CRIME REPORT Suspect arrested on parole violation Englewood police helped members of the East Metro Auto Theft Taskforce arrest a man wanted on a parole violation. On Sept. 12, Englewood officers joined members of the task force in the 4500 block of South Broadway to help arrested a 25-year-old suspect. As police arrived, the suspect reportedly drove off in a stolen vehicle. Police went after him but because he was driving recklessly, the report said the police ended the pursuit because of concerns about public safety. However, the suspect was found in the 3900 block of South Kalamath Street. Officers then went to a home in the 3900 block of South Jason Street where the suspect reportedly had been staying. Police were given permission to search the house and found the suspect sleeping in back bedroom. He was arrested without incident. The task force is continuing the investigation.

and a concealed knife. Police stopped the man about 11:1o a.m. Sept 14 while patrolling Cushing Park at 700 W. Dartmouth Ave. The suspect gave officers a false name but he was recognized and a check showed three felony warrants had been issued for his arrest. Officers arrested him and, following procedure, searched him. They found he was carrying drug paraphernalia and a concealed knife. The suspect is a convicted felon and not allowed to have weapons. He was processed and then taken to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Detention Facility on numerous charges.
Man faces drug charges
A man arrested for trespassing could face additional charges when it was found he was carrying a small plastic bag of methamphetamine. Police were patrolling the Englewood Civic Center area about 11:30 p.m. Sept. 13 when they stopped a 19-year-old man who was trespassing on the property. The suspect was searched and officers found he was carrying a small plastic bag of methamphetamine in his pocket. He was processed and later taken to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Detention Facility.
The 17-member committee advised RTD on matters related to its voter-approved FasTracks program.

Circular talks don’t have to stick around So, the other day I was part of a circular conversation. You know the kind I mean, right? The conversations that go round and round, circling the airport but never landing. The conversations where people jockey for position, take conversations down a rabbit hole, or go so far in an attempt to be politically correct that there is never really any clear outcome from the discussion. And sometimes, maybe even more than sometimes, in those circular conversations, the toughest questions are avoided and actions are taken so that we do not have to respond and can ride the line of balance somewhere between awkward and uncomfortable nothingness to nimble and precise evasiveness. Why does that happen? What questions can possibly be so difficult that we have to hide from their answers? Perhaps it is not so much that we can’t answer the question or that we even wrestle with ourselves about our ability to respond honestly — maybe it’s because as we search our hearts and minds, we really don’t even like the answer that we know to be true. In so many situations where I have coached business professionals, colleagues, and even close personal friends, one of the most common things I hear is that it’s not so much the answer to the tough question that they struggle with … it is trying to over-manage the feelings and how the other people receive and respond to the answer that they need to give. So instead of being direct, we begin layering our response, backpedaling a
little, start our circular navigation of the airport runway, and before we know it achieve total avoidance or dismissal of the question because we don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings or upset the apple cart in any way. Every one of our great-grandparents has passed this next message along to our grandparents, who in turn shared it with our parents, and our parents then revealed the secret to us, and now it is our turn to solve the mystery for our children, family, and friends. It is really not a very well-kept secret, and it is actually rather quite simple in nature, not even worthy of the extended hype and drawn-out verbose buildup I am giving it in this column. The message is this, “Tough questions, and any question for that matter, deserve our direct and honest response.” Whew … there, I said it, and now it’s over. So obvious, so simple, but yet so unpracticed. You see, common sense is not always common practice, right? And how often have each one of us delayed a call, a meeting, responding to a question or an email just because we absolutely dreaded how the other person might react. Can I
Mom was good practice for difficult dealings My mother. There you go. That right there might be a good reason to move on to another column. Most of us have had troublesome moments with our mothers. They become a source of revenue for psychotherapists everywhere. That’s me. My sister and I left a spoonful of her ashes under a bare tree next to a lovely creek on a bitter cold and rainy morning in Ann Arbor, Mich., in 2008. A few hours later, we left a spoonful of our father’s ashes in Michigan Stadium after the Michigan-Michigan State football game. For mom, we played Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata,” her favorite. For Dad, we played the Michigan fight song. “The Victors” was his favorite. My mother was impossible — and I think it started the day she was born. She was handed from relative to relative in Illinois, and ended up in Michigan. I don’t know how she got there. She rarely talked about her life, ages 1-15.
She met my father at a corn roast when she was 15. That was in 1934. They were together for the next 74 years. As she got older, my mother became more and more eccentric. This is all you need to know: They lived in a ranch-style home, and she owned five vacuum cleaners. One Christmas morning, my sister, my mother and I all vacuumed the same dining room rug. It was my mother’s idea, not mine. By the time I had adjusted to her and Marshall continues on Page 9
repeat that? … “Might react.” I do not write this column as if I have never done this myself. Sure I have, and so have all of you at some time or other. And just like all of you who have learned the lesson, regardless of how long it took us to learn the lesson, it becomes easier and so much less stressful with each experience that we finally learn to just do it in every conversation and with every tough question. The reaction we expect is never as bad as we imagine it between our own ears. It just never is. Now, we do have to remember also that it is not what we say, but how we say it that matters. There is no direct response to a tough question that calls for our own lack of compassion and understanding. Think of the best bedside manner of the most compassionate physician you have ever met, or maybe have even just seen on television, and imagining answering the questions in the same loving, caring, and understanding way possible. So … tough questions? The answer is really very simple, isn’t it? How about you? Can you benefit from practicing and learning from the experience of responding with honest and direct answers? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and I can assure you that when you practice this approach it really will be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Udall causes hardships for Coloradans
Several things have hurt Coloradans the past couple years, one being that 250,000 people had their medical insurance policies cancelled a year ago. As reported by the Huffington Post, some of these policies were cancelled because they did not comply with Obamacare, even though people liked them and were willing to pay for them. Next, we’ve seen medical insurance premiums and medical costs go up and in some cases dramatically. This, of course, is the exact opposite of what Obama said when he claimed that Obamacare would lower every family’s health costs by $2,500 a year. I have yet to meet anyone in Colorado whose health care expenses have gone down. Thirdly, many people are struggling to find meaningful employment. As a charity worker in the inner city, I note many black youth who are unemployed. This jibes with national statistics that show 40 percent unemployment among young black men. One reason for this is that many small businesses, in Colorado and nationwide, refuse to employ more than 49 workers because of the enormous costs Letter continues on Page 9

Fire department’s future uncertain Governor’s task force to tackle fracking Officials pushing for merger with South Metro By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Will Englewood retain a standalone fire department or will the city arrange for fire protection with another agency? The issue has been under discussion for more than a year and, at the Sept. 8 study session, the city council agreed to continue the discussion of possibly funding a contract for communications and hiring a training officer at the Sept. 22 budget session. Englewood Fire Department Chief Andy Marsh told the council at the study session that two critical fire incidents had highlighted the urgent need for a decision on how best to provide fire protection for Englewood residents. In his report presented to the council, Marsh noted the two most urgent needs are the approval of a contract for a better communications system to handle fire dispatch and hiring a training officer. Neither request was approved in the preliminary 2015 budget. “Morale in the department is low, primarily because of the uncertainty of the department’s future,” he said. “We know the fire department has urgent equipment and facilities needs that are estimated to cost about $13.5 million, which far exceeds available capital.” He and other fire department officials said they believe an agreement with the South Metro Fire Protection District would be the best choice for Englewood. Marsh suggested Englewood contract for fire protection but noted South Metro agreed for Englewood to have a voting member on the board of directors as if the city were merged with the district.

I don’t miss her because she never goes away. I think about her every day. I try to think about something good, but she became so difficult to be around that it is nearly impossible. She would say whatever she was thinking whenever she was thinking it, and without a speck of concern about the damages or consequences it caused. My sister hasn’t said a word to me about her since 2008. On the other hand, every memory that I have of my father is good. I am still learning from my father. He was able to look at most

fighters Association secretary, told the council the way the department is operating now is unsafe. He said he had a document signed by 44 firefighters supporting a merger with South Metro. When the fire department personnel completed their presentation, the council discussed the issue. “Once we establish the conditions of a contract for fire protection by another agency and our department is gone, we are powerless to object to any changes in service,” Councilmember Steve Yates said. “No matter the decision, Englewood will still pay for fire protection. If we contract with South Metro, and South Metro wants a higher contribution we can’t afford, it will most likely mean seeking voter approval for some sort of tax increase.” Mayor Pro Tem Linda Olson said the council heard the preference of the fire department personnel for the future and the discussion provided a wealth of knowledge. Joe Jefferson, District 1 council representative, said the council faces a huge decision regarding the fire protection that is best for the community. “We need detailed figures on what fire protection from either South Metro or Denver Fire Department would cost,” he said. “I feel we also need to hear from residents, particularly in regard to support for possible funding mechanisms such as a bond issue.” The discussion also focused on providing city funds to contract with a regional fire dispatch organization called Metcom for fire communications and hiring a fire training officer. “If the council wants to support those requests, we need to determine if there needs to be supplemental appropriations from the 2014 budget or if funding needs to be earmarked when the requests are approved for 2015,” said Mike Flaherty, acting city manager. “We can look at those issues as we discuss the budget at the Sept. 22 study session.”
things — except politics — from both sides, and he was reflective before he spoke. My mother wasn’t reflective before or after she said something. She could say something that would disturb the hell out of me, and before I could react or reply she would do it again. And again. I have tried to explain her to myself. Why me? Why didn’t I have a mother who was more like my father? Well, I didn’t. I decided that I benefited from both of them, just very differently. My mother showed me that there are some very challenging people in life, and that I have to figure out how to co-exist with them. I think she helped me to get through 26 years of teaching at a local college. I had some students, actually hundreds of them, who were just about as much of a problem as she was. One of them, who was completely out of

Have Questions about Funerals, Cremations or Cemeteries ASK MIKE! Mike Heflebower Funeral Director & Owner of Heflebower Funeral Services

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper on Sept. 9 announced the formation of a task force that will be charged with finding legislative solutions to issues surrounding hydraulic fracturing. The 19-person commission is made up of a broad cross-section of members representing various interests, all of whom will try to craft recommendations for lawmakers on issues that have yet to yield compromises. Hickenlooper told reporters during a Capitol press conference that he understands the weight of issues surrounding oil and gas drilling and the importance of the members coming together to find solutions. “I think this is one of the most important issues I’ve ever worked on in my 12 years of public service,” the Democratic governor said. A primary area of focus for the commission will be to find solutions regarding how much control local communities have over fracking — the process by which water, sand and chemicals are blasted deep underground to free up trapped oil and gas. The lack of legislative solutions has resulted in several Colorado communities taking matters into their own hands regarding local control issues. A handful have at one point voted to restrict or ban fracking, which has led to court battles that continue to play out. The task force was born from a compromise that Hickenlooper struck with Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis in August that kept Polis-backed anti-fracking measures from appearing on the November ballot. Hickenlooper said those concerned about the economic impact of the ballot measures “breathed a communal sigh of relief” when the compromise was reached. The initiatives would have essentially crippled an industry that pumps millions of dollars into the state’s
whack, and thought I was communicating with her through anagrams, asked me if she should go back on her medication. I was libeled and defamed. There was a 13-hour grievance hearing with attorneys at the table, along with a school committee, and a woman who made claims about me. I think she had breakfast on Pluto that morning.
economy. “Now it’s just a matter of rolling up our sleeves,” Hickenlooper said. The governor said that his office received hundreds of applicants to join the task force and that he feels good about the commission’s makeup. “We wanted to have many different selfinterests represented here,” he said. The task force will consist of members representing the industries of oil and gas, agriculture and home builders. Conservation groups will also be represented, as well as local governments. The commission will be chaired by La Plata County Commissioner Gwen Lachelt and XTO Energy president Randy Cleveland. The task force’s creation was greeted with optimism by groups representing various interests. Colorado Oil and Gas Commission President Tisha Schuller said she “hopes the task force provides information and insight into what is already a robust regulatory system with a strong role for local governments.” Pete Maysmith of Conservation Colorado said Coloradans are “eager for solutions” on issues surrounding oil and gas drilling. “Colorado is a fantastic place to live and raise a family,” Maysmith said in an emailed statement. “We cannot let this oil boom derail the Colorado dream and unique quality of life.” Republican gubernatorial hopeful Bob Beauprez does not share those sentiments. Beauprez has coined the task force the “Polis Commission,” a body that will produce recommendations that will bury the oil and gas industry with more regulations, he said. “The creation of this panel will, unfortunately, accomplish little beyond enabling an extremist element that wants to stop oil and gas production in Colorado,” Beauprez said. The governor’s office expects the commission to meet “immediately,” with the expectation that it will provide recommendations to the Legislature by March.
Months later it was all dismissed, but she had done a good job of affecting my life, and spoiling my enthusiasm for teaching. Shirley Mae Smith is never very far away from me. The thing is, I loved her very much. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

Holy Cow Food Bank draws praise Volunteers help about 180 families each week By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lydia Hernandez’s voice trembled with emotion Sept. 11 when she talked about her first trip to the Holy Cow Food Bank, housed in Mosaic Church at 4101 S. Lincoln St. “I am a single mother with four children,” she said. “I get about 20 hours of work most weeks and I do get food stamps, but that just doesn’t stretch far enough to provide good meals for four hungry kids. I was looking for help when a friend told me about this food bank, so I came today.” She said she was surprised by the welcome she received from the volunteers. “People greeted me and thanked me for coming. Inside, when they called my number to go shopping, I was overwhelmed at all the things I could choose for us,” she said. “It is a wonderful blessing. This amount of food will help us so much. The volunteers, the church and this food bank are wonderful. Bless them for the help they are giving to so many people.” Steve Scott, one of the Mosaic pastors, pointed to the tiny six-by-eight-foot closet where the Holy Cow Food Bank started. “We began in that closet seven years ago providing some food to those who asked us for help,” he said. “We felt it was our mission to help them, and the food bank just took on a life of its own. Today, the food distribution takes up the entire basement. We feel we are blessed to be able to provide food to help about 180 families a week.” The project is well organized. No questions are asked when someone comes in seeking items from the food bank. Each person is given a number so there is orderly movement through the food bank. “A couple years ago, I went to another food bank closer to home and they told me they couldn’t help me,” Rhonda Reynolds said as she prepared to go into the food bank. “But a woman there suggested I come to this food bank. I decided to come here and they were so wonderful to me. They let me
take what I feel I will need and sometimes even offer me more food. I don’t take any more than my son, granddaughter and I can use but, sometimes, if I have extra food, I share with some neighbors who are having a hard time. This is a wonderful blessing for all who come and bless those who make it happen.” Scott said the food bank is stocked by volunteers who get the food from Food Bank of the Rockies. “Our church has a budget of $125 a month for the trips to the Food Bank of the Rockies to buy food,” he said. “It is amazing how much food that much money will buy there. The Food Bank of the Rockies also often has free items and we bring some of those items home with us. We also get donations from Sprouts and King Soopers, plus we have three people with community garden plots providing produce for us.” “We are blessed because we usually provide two meat items per person,” he said. “This week, we had pizza, familysize lasagna, pork loin and chicken. Each person got two of those items.” He said the food bank items are a donation to help people stretch their regular food supplies, so the goal is to give each individual food for three meals for each member of the family. He said the combination of produce, bread and meat items usually means each person leaves with about 40 pounds of groceries. The church volunteers also provide lunch for the food bank clients. “The people here at the church show us a lot of love,” Phil Carter said as he ate a pulled pork sandwich. “I’m out of work right now and the items from the food bank help me get by until I can find another job. Getting a nice meal and talking to a lot of nice people is a plus. I am not a go-to-church guy but I am coming to love this church.” Mosaic Church has about 150 people on its membership rolls and about twice that number who come to the three weekend services. “We are a little church, at least we are a little church building,” Scott said. “But we have a big heart and try to reach out far beyond the walls to help people who need help with the food bank and lunch plus we help with prayer if we are asked. Our volunteers also go to provide free lunch to the people who live at one of Englewood’s resident motels.”

Sheridan set to celebrate all day Annual event marks 25th anniversary with variety of activities By Tom Munds
tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Pancakes, a parade, music, vendors and a dance are among this year’s Sheridan Celebrates activities and events planned on Sept. 27. “Sheridan Celebrates is one of the best events for residents and visitors,” said Dallas Hall, Sheridan mayor. “We usually have a pretty good turnout of the people from our community as well as people from other communities who come for the activities and events. I think the celebration helps bring awareness to our city. I think it promotes pride in who we are and what we have here in Sheridan.” He added this year’s event has the usual attractions like the parade and the vendors. But organizers have added attractions like booking national musical act Chris Daniels and the Kings. “Chris Daniels and his group are well known and usually draw pretty big crowds,” the mayor said. “The fact Chris Daniels and the Kings are the featured entertainment at Sheridan Celebrates is a plus for us and I expect it will attract even more people to our event.” He said another addition this year is
the evening dinner dance at Verle Huffman Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9644, as well as a Mexican dinner. “I think that is a great way to cap a day full of activities scheduled for Sheridan Celebrates,” the mayor said. Sheridan Celebrates gets started early on Sept. 27 with a pancake breakfast from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. at Sheridan Middle School, 4107 S. Federal. The pancake breakfast is a benefit and all proceeds will go to school district organizations. As the pancake breakfast is wrapping up, festivities will shift to the parade. This year’s parade marks the 25th anniversary of Sheridan Celebrates with a theme of “Sheridan Celebrates the Silver Screen.” Former Mayor Roger Rowland is parade grand marshal. Rowland spearheaded the creation of Sheridan Celebrates in 1990. The parade assembles near the intersection of South Lowell Boulevard and West Princeton Avenue. The parade begins at 10 a.m. and will wrap up at Sheridan High School, 3201 W. Oxford Ave. When the parade finishes, the focus shifts to the area around the city hall lawn, where the event midway will be set up with vendors, inflatables and food trucks. The main stage is in the same area where recording artists Chris Daniels and the Kings will help Sheridan celebrate the day from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. The festivities, music and activities on the city hall lawn wrap up about 3 p.m., but the or-
A variety of attractions spread out on the city hall lawn attract visitors to last year’s Sheridan Celebrates activities. Plans are for about 70 vendors and attractions at this year’s Sheridan Celebrates, to be held Sept. 27.

W. Hampden Ave., where there will be a Mexican dinner and a dance. Tickets for the event are $10.

Eric Keck takes oath of office to help lead Englewood By Tom Munds
tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Eric Keck officially took the office of Englewood City Manager when he was sworn in during the Sept. 15 city council meeting. Keck was hired to fill the vacancy when, after 17 years at the position, Gary Sears retired. Near the end of the city council agenda there is an item titled city manager report. When asked for comments, Keck said it was a busy first day on the job. “I want to thank Michael Flaherty for the job he did as acting city manager until I started work today,” he said. “I also want to thank the staff for their warm reception and information they are providing.” Keck said he knows there is a lot of anxi-
ety among employees as he begins work. “I want the staff, employees and residents to know I want to work with everyone to make Englewood a great city,” he said. “Our goal is for our city to move forward with a bright, sustainable future.” Keck taking the oath of office culminated the process that began when Englewood City Council hired a private firm to conduct the search early this year. The field of applicants was narrowed to six finalists who were interviewed by the council. The council publicly announced Keck was their choice for city manager, and on Sept. 2, after noting Keck had agreed to a contract, the council voted to hire him. Keck came to Englewood from the post of chief operating officer of Ground Force Worldwide, a global mine support manufacturing firm in Post Falls, Idaho. Before taking the position with Ground Force, Keck was city administrator of Post Falls for six years.

Umbria travelers share artworks Students learn, create during trip to Italy
Fort Collins ranks for retirees
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Two years ago, painter/Arapahoe Community College faculty member Marsha Wooley had the opportunity to spend two weeks painting at La Romita in Umbria, on a hillside above the town of Terni, in central Italy. She was so enthusiastic about the experience that, as a longtime teacher, she wanted to share the experience with students, leading them to the pleasure of painting the surrounding scenery en plein air — out of doors. She talked with colleague/ACC photography instructor Trish Sangelo and they put together a plan: two weeks at La Romita for students who wanted to paint or photograph the striking surroundings. “The countryside is filled with intense colors and patterns that create a beautiful tapestry,” Sangelo wrote. “Each town is unique and is filled with history that never seems to change.” Thirteen students signed up to travel with them and are sharing the experience by exhibiting artworks in “Umbria, A Sense of Place” at the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at ACC through Oct. 16. The La Romita School of Art, housed in a 16th-century Capuchin monastery surrounded by olive trees, provides room and board, transportation to surrounding hill towns, studio space for on-site instruction — plus that special Italian light and beauty wherever one looks. It offers art classes through the year, taught by a variety of instructors. The exhibit is a mix of paintings and photographs that illustrate the particular vision of 13 students and
I was raised by a theater-addicted mother, who instilled in me a lifelong love of stage performances. And although I spent a large part of the ‘70s seeing musical and non-musical Broadway blockbusters, somehow my repertoire didn’t include “Pippin,” the 1972 Bob Fosse-directed Tony Award winner, which made Ben Vereen famous. I filled that missing slot Sept. 10 during the Denver launch of the national tour of the 2013 revival version of “Pippin,” playing at the Buell Theatre through Sept. 20. My theater pal Bradley Joseph and I experienced a good old-fashioned spectacular romp into a classic musical event that’s been enhanced by the addition of a circus setting complete with trapeze artists, contortionists and aerial performers. Throw in performances by Lucie Arnaz (daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz), John Rubenstein (the original Pippin character on Broadway who now plays the king) and Matthew James Thomas, the 2013 Tony Award-winning Pippin character, and you have an out-of-thisworld experience. Arnaz, who plays Pippin’s grandmother, gets her sexy on by showing off her 6o-plus bod in a bustier while hanging from a trapeze. Who knew? “I didn’t know how I could do that until five weeks ago,” which is when she joined the cast, Arnaz told us during the boffo after-play reception under the big top in the Seawell Ballroom. For an evening of throwback theatrical fun, don’t miss “Pippin.” Tickets at denvercenter.org.
“Montefalco Vineyard,” a painting by Pam Hostetler, is included in “Umbria: a Sense of Place” at Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College. two instructors. Techniques vary from skilled to less experienced, but all portray a warm enthusiasm for one arresting spot after another. Visiting means a mini-trip. Painting students learned about the particular demands of painting outdoors and photographers learned creative methods associated with documenting the Italian landscape, cityscape and people. A welcome addition is the inclusion of written statements from some of the group. We hope the visitor will allow time to read them. Artists, of course, treasure the opportunity to record with paint or camera: “stone remnants of cultures long gone: Umbrian, Etruscan, Roman, Byzantine, Renaissance and local Duchy

And several write of the lasting friendships they had formed with fellow artists. “The Art in Italy class allowed me to step out of my comfort zone. I was able to prove to myself that I could travel to a foreign country without family and focus on myself and my photography,” wrote Molly McMillan.
Kiplinger, the venerable magazine covering personal finance advice and business, has accrued a top 10 ranking of best college towns for retirement, and Fort Collins is included in that lofty list. When you retire to a college town, Kiplinger says that you can recreate “the horizon-broadening experience and sense of adventure” that you had when you first entered those hallowed halls of higher learning. “In these 10 towns, a university generates intellectual and cultural sizzle for local residents and opens the door for retirees to take free or low-cost classes. College sports unite the entire community (and sometimes impel retired alums to move back). On-campus attractions, such as concerts, lecture series and games, are open to all comers, not just undergraduates. “College life isn’t the only reason these towns are great places to retire. Most are in states that are tax-friendly to retirees. Most have home prices close to the national median (some far below), active restaurant scenes, and access to good health care.” Fort Collins was included because of the proximity to Colorado State University, population of 152,061 and median home price of $280,000.

Bonanno burned in ‘burbs
I caught up with chef/restaurateur Frank Bonanno at Denver Food & Wine recently, and asked him about the closing of Bonanno Brothers Pizza at the Vistas at Park Meadows, the only suburban attempt the successful restaurant owner has tried. “Never again,” he told me. It was the first time he had partnered with an investor on an eatery, and when the investor wasn’t realizing the return on investment he expected, he opted to shutter the place. There are no hard feelings, Bonanno said, who added that Park Meadows mall execs could not have been more accommodating in his quest to vacate the lease and the premises. So Bonanno got burned in the ‘burbs, but Parker continues on Page 15

Pirates claim first gridiron win of season Englewood’s time-eating drive preserves 22-19 victory By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Englewood fans stood and cheered Sept. 12 as the Pirates offense converted two short fourth-down plays and then completed a nine-yard pass on a third fourth down, helping them hold onto the football for the final 8:23 of the game and preserve their 22-19 win over Lincoln. The victory raised Englewood’s record to 1-2. The Pirates will start league play at 7 p.m. Sept. 19 when they travel to meet rival Elizabeth for the Cardinals homecoming game. The Elizabeth also stands at 1-2 at the moment. “We got a much needed win tonight,” Englewood coach Jay Graves said after his team topped Lincoln. “This truly was a huge team effort. Every player we put on the field had a role in helping us win this game.” He said his line played very well and noted the outstanding efforts of the guard and tackle on the left side, Victor PalestinoRios and Colton Korenik. “That last drive was amazing,” he said. “On that key fourth-and-eight play late in the game, I called a dive play but my offensive coordinator Andy Cornell changed the call to a pass we used successfully all summer in 7-on-7. He made the right call and the pass was completed to give us the first down we needed to be able to run out the clock.” The game was expected to be a tight battle between two evenly matched teams and it lived up to those expectations. Lincoln mixed the pass and run to establish a six-point lead late in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the teams exchanged punts and, on Englewood’s possession, the Pirates had a touchdown nullified by a holding penalty. But, on the next play, the blockers cleared the way and Nick Bersagel ran 41 yards for the touchdown. The two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful, leaving the game tied for a brief time.

Englewood falters to Fort Morgan Pirates hang tough but drop all three sets in match By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com No point came easy in the Sept. 11 Englewood-Fort Morgan league volleyball match but, despite some outstanding plays by the Pirates, the Mustangs took three sets in a row to win the match. “We are a very young team with only two seniors on our varsity,” Coach Kristal Kostiew said. “I couldn’t be prouder of how our girls played in this match. Everyone has worked hard and made tremendous improvement. We are getting better every week and I believe we will be a much improved volleyball team late in the season.” A small but vocal crowd turned out for the Sept. 11 Englewood home volleyball match against Fort Morgan and the teams gave the fans their money’s worth. On both sides of the net throughout the game, there were diving digs to the floor to keep the ball in play, hard spikes at the net, blocks that turned aside spikes and serves that were delivered in a way they couldn’t be returned. The first set against Fort Morgan was a seesaw battle early. Englewood would score several points to move ahead before the Mustangs would respond with a scoring run of their own to make things close. Fort Morgan eventually put on a key run to get ahead to stay and win the set, 25-15. The next two sets were almost carbon Volleyball continues on Page 20

It didn’t stay tied long, though, as Lincoln scored again and kicked the extra point to take a 13-6 edge about midway through the second quarter. On their next possession, another Pirate touchdown was nullified by yet another holding penalty. But, facing a third-and-11, quarterback Sean Bowering lofted a long pass to Jakey Wade for the touchdown. The pass for the two-point conversion was completed and Englewood took a 14-13 lead into halftime. In the third quarter, Englewood put together a solid drive and Daryl Culbreath ran 16 yards for the touchdown. The two-point conversion pass was complete, giving Englewood the 22-13 lead. In the fourth quarter, Culbreath intercepted his second deep pass of the game on the Lancer 5-yard line. On the first play, Englewood fumbled and Lincoln recovered. The Lancers took over and, on one play, powered into the end zone. The kick for the extra point was blocked so the score stood at 22-19. The kickoff gave Englewood the ball on its own 19-yard line with 8:23 left in the game. The Pirates pounded the ball, chalked up first downs and ran out the clock, making all three important fourth-down conversions. Culbreath, a sophomore, talked about his touchdown run after the game. “I took the handoff and the guys up front cleared a big lane so I was through into the secondary quickly,” he said. “There was nothing but green ahead of me so I ran as fast as I could for the end zone. It felt good.” He said his two interceptions almost didn’t happen. He said he was in position, had the ball in his hands but almost dropped it on the first interception and the second interception was sort of lucky as he got to the right spot at the right time. Palestino-Rios said the Lancers were a tough team with a lot of speed and they used a lot of inside linebacker blitzes which are hard to block. “Their lineman and linebackers were pretty quick and they came hard every play,” he said. “All the guys on the line just tried to hold their blocks and give our offense a chance to move the ball. It was tough at times but we also did our jobs well to open things up for our guys.” He said there were some mistakes but they are correctable mistakes that the team will work to address before facing Elizabeth.

copies of the first. Englewood had the lead for a short time in each, but the Mustangs came back and won both by the score of 25-18. After the match, Pirate junior Ty Lucas smiled and said she likes volleyball but it isn’t her favorite sport. “I injured my knee my freshman and sophomore seasons so I was the volleyball team manager,” she said. “I took part in the scrimmages and practices so I learned a lot about volleyball. I picked up and improved my volleyball skills so I was able to help our team when I came out this season.” She said the coach has helped her improve this season and that the biggest improvement is the confidence she has in her abilities. “I am tall so I am a blocker and a hitter,” she said. “When I go up I look for a way to get a kill. Sometimes, I tap the ball fairly lightly because, if I can get it around the blockers, there is often open space so the ball hits the floor. But, if I see a lane for a spike when I go up, I hit it hard and try to drive it to the court.” The Pirates are playing a mix of league and non-league games in the coming weeks. They were scheduled to play at home Sept. 16 against Vista Peak, and then set to play Sept. 18 at Alameda. Englewood will then head to the Jefferson Academy Tournament Sept. 19 and 20 for four non-league games. The team return home Sept. 23 to face rival Elizabeth and is then back on the road Sept. 25 at Fort Lupton.

Big Bill’s raises $100,000 in fundraiser Annual event draws standing-room only crowd to Centennial pizzeria By Jane Reuter

A yarn that’s easy to believe A Knitted Peace offers classes, fellowship in Littleton By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Marsha Asheim and Jane Dickinson really know how to spin a good yarn. They know a bunch of different kinds, too — cotton, wool, alpaca, rayon, mohair, mink, bamboo, milk protein and any other kind of yarn you could throw at them. “Yarns have come a long way,” said Asheim. “They’re wonderful colors and textures.” Asheim and Dickinson have owned A Knitted Peace, a block north of Main Street on Prince Street, for eight years. They bought it from their boss at the time, Peggy Anderson, who had opened it five years before that. They both come from a world of words. Asheim taught English and business at Heritage High School, and Dickinson was a journalist at the Rocky Mountain News. They met working at the store, and when Anderson announced she wanted to sell, they knew right away they wanted in. “We took the ball of yarn and ran with it,” said Dickinson. Today, they employ five women from all different walks of life. Together, they offer a friendly and welcoming environment for knitters to learn new techniques, trade tips or just find fellowship. “They’re very friendly,” said Dickinson. “People who drop by get sucked in pretty fast.” “Knitters are pretty social,” agreed Asheim. And knitting is no longer just for sweaters and afghans. Better fabrics make for more fashionable creations, they say, and the Inter-
net makes it easier to share patterns and photos of finished products. They point to worldfamous knitter Stephen West, who’s making a splash in the fashion industry with his modern, unique designs. “Knitting is keeping up with fashion better,” said Dickinson. “Ideas fly a lot faster now.” It’s also not just for grandmas in rocking chairs anymore. One of their own young employees, Molly Christopher, is also a renowned tattoo artist in the Denver area. Her Facebook page features a photo of her featuring a very cute sweater she knitted herself, along with her very colorful neck. But while new fashions can be wild and wacky, there is still something comforting about the hobby, say the partners in yarn. “It’s fun to have something to do with your hands,” said Dickinson. “While you’re watching TV, you can also accomplish something. And it’s very soothing, once you get over the initial trauma of learning how to knit.” They can definitely help with that, offering regular classes and groups. This is a good week to stop by and check them out, as it’s “Yarn Along the Rockies” week through Sept. 21. A Knitted Peace and 23 other yarn stores in the state are offering goodie bags and prizes to those who pick up a passport and visit to earn a stamp. “Knitters are just like any other hobbyists,” said Dickinson. “There are cruises, railroad trips, retreats. People even go on vacation to knit or do fiber arts with others.” The business maintained through the recession, they said, partly because it’s a fun and inexpensive thing to do with friends or family. “Making a scarf doesn’t actually cost a lot, but you’re adding so much value and love,” said Dickinson.
Customers who visited Big Bill’s New York Pizza on Sept. 11 donated more than $100,000 on the annual fundraising day. The Centennial pizza shop hosts the annual “9/11 Day of Giving,” which draws standing-room-only crowds. Restaurant owner Bill Ficke distributes money raised each Sept. 11 through the Joann B. Ficke Cancer Foundation, a nonprofit he and his son Dan founded in memory of Bill’s wife Joann, who died in 2009. About 25 volunteers helped the regular staff serve the crowds who came to dine and donate. “It’s what he does for his wife,” Littleton’s Terri Peterson said of her reason for coming to Big Bill’s on Sept. 11. “I’ve been coming here the last seven years.” “This day hits us pretty hard,” Mike Peterson said of Sept. 11. Highlands Ranch residents Bruce and
Cathy Hirsch are regulars at Big Bill’s. “We’ve been coming to Bill’s a long time, but this is the first time we came on 9/11,” Bruce said. “We just really like what Bill does to remember. It’s pretty amazing.” The restaurant made about 1,100 pizzas that Thursday — about three times the number it would make on a typical busy Friday. Employees and volunteers also made countless plates of pasta, salad and other food. Ficke said the 2014 total was particularly impressive considering the cool, gloomy weather of Sept. 11. “We raised $100,000, despite the weather,” he said. “And it’s all because of the fantastic and generous customers and people that come in and donate to honor all those who died that day and to help the people of Colorado.” In 2013, Ficke distributed money to the Bone Marrow Transplant Patient Assistance Fund, Rocky Mountain Cancer Assistance, Cancer League of Colorado, Children’s Hospital Foundation and Colorado Ovarian Cancer Association. A former assistant coach for the Denver Nuggets and longtime owner of Fleet Feet shoe store, Ficke opened Big Bill’s New York Pizza in 1995.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 15, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) It might not be wise to pursue goals involving others, unless you can stop impulsively rejecting new ideas. Either open your mind or wait until next week, when this “ornery” mood passes. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for the Bovine to be creative and practical for yourself and your surroundings. Shop wisely, not impulsively, and keep your Bull’s eye focused on quality, not quantity. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) You should feel more confident about moving ahead with plans that had to be delayed by an unexpected turn of events. Also, family matters might need more time than first anticipated.
crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope
GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Be considerate of others as you move into a new area in your professional life. Take time to meet people and discuss mutual goals. The more you get to know each other, the better. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Creating a fuss could get your ideas noticed quickly. But it would be best to present your case, and then wait for a reaction to follow in due course, rather than try to force it to happen. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Unkept promises might cause plans to go awry this week. You can either grumble about people “letting you down” or find a way to make the best of it and move on. The choice is yours. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Putting off making a commitment early in the week could be a good move. Best to act when you know you’re making an informed decision. Expect more facts to emerge by the week’s end. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A recent act of kindness on your part could take on special meaning this week. Also, look for signs of upcoming changes in both your personal and professional relationships. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Many of the tougher communication barriers between you and others in the workplace or at home could begin breaking down this week. Expect some surprises to emerge. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your “tough love” attitude toward someone you care for could be misunderstood. Try to be less judgmental and show more consideration in the way you relate to that person. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) An unexpected workplace challenge could be daunting. But take what you know (and you know more than you realize) and apply it to the problem, and you should see positive results. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Recent relationship changes for both single and paired Pisces continue to influence much of your week. Keep your focus on developing the positive aspects as you move along. BORN THIS WEEK: You set your goals with assurance and influence others to follow suit. You would be an excellent philosopher and teacher. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Classmate Daniel Chandler said it was a cool play. “I liked the play. It was fun to have the characters invite us to take part in the play by doing things like growling with the lion,” he said. “I understand the story had a moral and I liked it because it said we should be good to others.” This is the third year Englewood has held the Theater in the Park event. Betty and Sam Emmanuel are the major sponsors in cooperation with the City of Englewood and Englewood’s library, parks and recreation district and school district. “We had a theater downtown for 18 years,” Betty Emmanuel said after the performance. “We love the theater and we are sponsoring Theater in the Park performances because we love to reach children.” The play was done by the Ballet Arts Theater and performers from Colorado ACTS. Cindy Troup was in charge of the script, costumes and design. At the end of the show, Florihal and the other performers gathered around the Emmanuels and presented them a framed poster of the show in thanks for their support for the program.
