POSTAL ADDRESS

A large crowd of families, friends, teachers and administrators applauded as the city council took time during its Nov. 17 meeting to honor the 13 students whose art was selected for this year’s city calendar. “Each year, Englewood holds a contest and select entries to be used in the calendar. The contest is open to any kindergartner through 12th-grader who lives or goes to school in Englewood,” Mayor Randy Penn told the audience. “I believe we had about 150 entries this year, and the judges faced the tough job of selecting 13 works for the calendar.”

South Platte revitalization plan discussed Proposed improvements along river are explained By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Displays and artist concepts lined the walls at the Nov. 12 South Platte River Run open house, held in the clubhouse at the Broken Tee at Englewood Golf Course. River Run is a proposal for revitalizing a stretch of the South Platte River near Oxford Avenue and Broken Tee. The revitalization would include creation of unique recreation amenities along the banks of the river near the Oxford Avenue Bridge. “The open house tonight was held to let people know about the proposed river improvements,” said Jerrell Black, parks and recreation director. “We invited representatives of all the businesses adjacent to the river along the area

Business owner Gary Corns, left, and others look over the drawings and maps detailing the South Platte River Run project, which involves creating amenities like a trail head and making river improvements. The work is planned along the stretch of the South Platte River from Union Avenue to north of Oxford Avenue. Photo by Tom Munds so they will see the river improvements that are planned.” He said the proposal is made possible by a partnership of the cities of Englewood, Littleton and

Sheridan, the Army Corp of Engineers, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District and the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District.

John Kent’s family owns Oxford Recycling, located on Oxford Avenue adjacent to the west bank of the river. He said he attended the session because he wanted to see what improvements were planned along the river near his business. “I think these are great plans,” he said. “I particularly like the plan to add an additional bike path on the east side of the river. I walk and ride a bike on the bike path on the west side of the river, and it gets quite busy.” Kent said the family-owned business allowed developers to use some of the company property to build the Mary Carter Greenway Bike Path, which runs along the west bank of the river from Chatfield Reservoir to downtown Denver. “The land south of Oxford sloped to the river and we didn’t Plan continues on Page 22

Blind students take on sharks Dissection provides rare experience By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Ana Martinez, 17, rarely gets to use scissors, let alone scalpels and forceps. But on Nov. 14, she and a couple dozen other blind people got to use all of the above to dissect some sharks. “I like exploring the shark and touching it,” said Martinez, an exchange student from Mexico attending classes at the Colorado Center for the Blind in Littleton, as she poked around in her shark’s belly. “Just being able to do this is really fun.” It’s an opportunity CCB has offered for 10 years now with the help of Terry Harrison, a biology faculty member at Arapahoe Community College. Harrison has as much fun as the students, watching them gain confidence as the morning progresses. “You need to get the lay of the land first,” he told the students, who come from all over the metro area to dive into the fishy task at hand. “Some of this is delicate and difficult to do.” That didn’t dissuade Ian Lee and Tory Soto from plunging right into their spiny dogfish shark. Nor did the fact that it had poisonous glands, nor the horrible odor of its insides. What did they enjoy the most about dissecting it? “Guts,” was their enthusiastic answer. But it’s not just about the guts or the glory, says Brent Batron, CCB’s director of youth programs. “Traditionally, science classes have been thought to be inac-

cessible to kids who are blind or have low vision, but it is simply not true,” he said. “These kids just need the opportunity to participate in science classes. By dissecting sharks, these kids will have the opportunity, perhaps for the first time in their academic career, to be fully integrated into a science class.” Harrison makes sure it’s a good educational experience for them all, making sure to describe what to feel for as the dissection progressed, not what to look for. “Sharks, there’s a mystery around them,” he said. “The word `shark’ kind of scares people sometimes.” He proceeded to give them some spiny dogfish basics, including that they’re voracious eaters, they live just above the ocean floor, they grow to about 18 inches and have a live baby after a two-year pregnancy. Unlike fish, they don’t have “swim bladders” that allow them to float. “They sink,” he said. “They’ve got to keep moving from the day they’re born.” Andrew and Alena Stevens, brother and sister, met two challenges head on that day. They’re not blind, but they are homeschooled. CCB’s Jennifer Stevens said sometimes those kids miss out on some of the hands-on science projects, too. The Stevens siblings both did much of their work on the shark wearing sleep shades, which CCB encourages the use of even for its own students who might have residual or low-level vision to strengthen reliance on other senses and use of alternative skills. “This builds confidence in their ability to approach all life situations,” says CCB director Julie Deden.

Blind students from throughout the region visited the Colorado Center for the Blind Nov. 14 for a rare opportunity — shark dissection.

City gets cheery financial news Revenues continue to top last year’s collections By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Frank Gryglewicz, Englewood’s finance director, said the report he presented during the Nov. 17 city council meeting reflected the impact of the current positive financial climate. “Our revenues are up. The collections are better than 2013, and 2013 was a good year,” he said. “I believe this is the 15th straight month our revenue collections have increased. It is good news. I do get a little nervous that the good revenue climate won’t continue.” The monthly report showed revenue collections through the end of October were more than $36 million, which is almost $1.9 million or 5.5 percent more than collected from January to October 2013.

Gryglewicz said sales and use tax collections have shown the largest increase. “Retail sales are up about 8.6 percent from last year,” the finance director said. “I believe there are a lot of contributing factors to this trend, such as lower gas prices and good investment returns, which gives people more spendable income. Also, it seems people have started holiday shopping earlier this year.” Sales and use tax collections provide almost 58 percent of the city total revenues. The revenue is generated by merchants collecting the 3.5 percent city sales tax on taxable items. The city received about $2.7 million in sales and use tax in October, which is about $510,000 more than was received for October 2013. The finance director said the report showed that through the end of October, the revenue collections exceeded spending by about $2.5 million. “The fact revenues are exceeding spending is an important aspect of a favorable financial report,” Grygle-

wicz said. “You always want to collect more money than is spent.” Councilmember Bob McCaslin thanked Gryglewicz and the finance department for providing the monthly report. He said he knew the finance department spent a lot of time compiling a complete financial report for the council. “Englewood is fortunate to receive such a detailed financial report,” he said. “I have talked to people from other communities. Many of the councilmembers were surprised we received such a detailed report and received it monthly. I appreciate the work that goes into creating the report. It provides us important information about our financial picture.” Gryglewicz told the council the good revenue collections have strengthened the city’s reserves. “The budget called for a 10 percent unassigned reserve,” he said. “At the end of October, the unassigned fund balance was about $7.4 million, or 17.6 percent of estimates revenues.”

Medical marijuana license hearing set Applicant wants to open facility on Federal Boulevard By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The Englewood Liquor and Medical Marijuana Licensing Authority will hold a public hearing to take testimony on an application to establish a medical marijuana facility at 5005 S.

Federal Blvd. The public hearing will be part of an authority meeting at 7 p.m. Dec. 3 in the city council chambers, located on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. The meeting will include time for public testimony. The application was submitted by TDM LLC, doing business as Trees. The proposal is to open a medical marijuana retail facility in what is now a

house at the Federal Boulevard address. The application indicates there are no plans to grow marijuana at the location. The applicant is Michael Rasser of Lakewood. The application said he has interests in several other marijuana establishments, but those facilities are not located in Englewood. Several residents who live near the proposed location came to the Nov. 17 Englewood City Council meeting. The three people

who spoke to the council all said they did not want to see a medical marijuana facility in their neighborhood. Councilmembers said the final decision on the license will be made by the Liquor and Medical Marijuana Licensing Authority. Residents were urged to attend the Dec. 3 authority public hearing to have the comments about the proposed medical marijuana retail store heard by authority members.

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com U.S. District Court Judge Raymond Moore sentenced Englewood resident Mervin Edy Wolf to 60 years in federal prison for production of child pornography. Wolf was arrested by federal authorities March 5 and entered a guilty plea on July 24. Moore handed down the sentence Nov. 20. Jeffery Dorschner, spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office, said the victim read a prepared statement during the lengthy sentencing hearing, and she gave some additional comments about the harm Wolf had caused her and how that harm would remain with her the rest of her life. The press release on the sentencing stated the judge told the 62-yearold Wolf that he was born a free man but wouldn’t die a free man since, in the federal system, there is no chance of parole, meaning faces a minimum of about 58 years in prison. Wolf was in custody at the hearing and was ordered taken from the court to begin serving his sentence. At a March 11 hearing in federal

court to determine if Wolf should remain in custody, Judith Smith, assistant U.S. attorney, maintained that Wolf should remain in federal custody for the protection of the community and the suspect, who had reportedly threatened suicide in his initial interview with federal agents. The prosecutor said the investigation began when a 14-year-old girl who was related to Wolf reported that he had been sexually assaulting her for seven years. Smith added that five individuals have come forward alleging they had been sexually assaulted by Wolf, and there may Wolf be more. According to an affidavit, in about September 2007 Wolf began taking pornographic photographs of a minor child who lived with his California relatives. The report stated that, over the next seven years, Wolf “forced the minor child to perform and participate in an escalating pattern of sexual acts which Wolf would photograph or videotape.” In the March 11 court appearance, prosecutor Smith said Wolf admitted to sexual contact with the minor girl that he had photographed and recorded on video. She said the sus-

pect told investigators he made the tapes for his sexual gratification and watched them about once a week for the same reason. The affidavit also stated that in January 2013, the victim contacted Wolf and stated she thought she was pregnant. Wolf sent her pregnancy test strips and the tests were negative. A portion of the affidavit stated that, when the victim learned in January that Wolf was coming to California in June, she made the decision to report the sexual abuse. It was also stated that the girl said she was afraid Wolf would start molesting her younger siblings. Once the girl’s family learned about the sexual abuse of the victim, others family members came forward to report sexual abuse by Wolf. Agents had a warrant when they searched Wolf’s home on South Galapago Street on March 6. Agents seized an 8mm video camera, a digital camera, a camera tripod and a laptop computer. All the electronics are undergoing forensic examination. Wolf told investigators he destroyed the pictures and the tapes. So far, efforts have not recovered photos. On March 11, the prosecutor told the court a few images focusing on the minor’s buttocks had been recovered on Wolf’s computer.

Giving a blessing to be thankful for For many people, there is a ton of activity and action going on during Thanksgiving Day. Some families and neighbors gather to play football in the park or the street while others settle in for some action-packed football on TV. Others find action in gathering together to help serve and feed others through homeless shelters and other organizations. And anyone who has ever collected food, prepared food, served food, or washed dishes and scrubbed pots and pans for those less fortunate will tell you that there is plenty of activity and action taking place. I may not be the best person to cook or prepare the meals, but I am one heck of a pots and pans scrubber. To give thanks, a verb and a call to action are neatly tied up in this wonderful holiday. And if we are blessed enough to be able to share our gratitude and appreciation with those we love and with those who may be experiencing a difficult time in their lives right now, we are called to action, called to act upon Thanksgiving. Now I have met and heard from people who have the very best of intentions to do something bigger with their time and their lives. And that feeling swells each year as the holidays approach. Yet when I meet them again during or maybe even after the New Year and ask how their “giving” and Thanksgiving season went, I hear a mixed response. Some are eager to share their victories of con-

tribution and the elation they experienced, while others fall back on the excuses such as a lack of time or something else came up. Is it a lack of time? Did something else really come up? Or is it just a lack of commitment in connecting what we desire to do most in our hearts with the justification of what is happening in our heads? You see, if we have been blessed enough to help and give when we can, shouldn’t we? Think of it this way, it’s kind of like the person who builds a home gym so that they will get committed to a workout routine but ends up with a collection of weights and machines that collect dust. Or the person that says they want to learn a foreign language and buys Rosetta Stone only to leave the box on a shelf or in a closet. It’s not the gym equipment or cool teaching technology that failed us, it is our lack of commitment to taking the action that prevented us from reaching our goals. And one of the best parts of Thanksgiving is in its

inherent call to action. I have heard so many stories from people who always wanted to “give” or do something more in their lives and found that Thanksgiving was an awesome day to place their “giving” stake in the ground and begin following their heart. For those who read this column regularly, I know that this next statement will sound like a broken record, but here it goes. As much as we help others by giving, giving of time, talents, resources, money, hugs, and prayers, the person who experiences the greatest joy is not the person receiving what is given, rather it is the person that is doing the giving that in turn receives the most joy. Happy Thanksgiving, a verb and a call to action. How about you, is Thanksgiving a launching point for you to give back in some way to our community? Or have you already been a compassionate and consistent giver of thanks? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we take up that call to action, it really will be a better than good week, holiday season, year, and life. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Abstract art can offer a workout If you have to see a picture of a man screaming on a bridge, you have to see a picture of a man screaming on a bridge. Edvard Munch will take care of you. If you have to see a vibrant red and coralcolored flower, blown up and covering the entire canvas, well, that’s what you have to see. Georgia O’Keeffe will take care of you. But what if there is no screaming man or vibrantly colored flower? What if there is nothing more than a big area of color? With nothing recognizable anywhere? Are you lost? Disinterested? Many are, even though abstract art has been around for more than a hundred years. I have watched viewers walk past abstract paintings lickety-split. I have an idea, in the form of a compari-

son. Who doesn’t like a little Mozart now and then? Or Dave Brubeck? Or even a Jimmy Page solo? What do they all have in common? The music is wordless. As a listener, it’s up to you to create images in your imagination. Or better still, to simply listen without trying to read any imagery into the music.

I realize that there are contrary examples: It’s impossible to listen to the “Grand Canyon Suite” and not visualize pack mules. I am an Abstract Expressionist, and the illegitimate son of the very first Abstract Expressionist, Wassily Kandinsky. Kandinsky was as brave as the first man to eat a dried lizard or lutefisk. The Abstract Expressionists who were painting in America in the ‘40s and ‘50s shifted the focus of the art world for the first time from Western Europe to the United States. I am not going to try to convert anyone. If you have to see clouds or trees or galloping sheep in a painting, or else, that may never change. We tend to want something to hold on to, and complete abstractions don’t do it for Smith continues on Page 9

LETTER TO THE EDITOR American apathy at its lowest

What an affirmation of the apathy of Americans. Shortly after the midterm elections, with a voter turnout that was lowest in 72 years, we read in the paper, “ACC pool

heads down the drain,” regarding the pool at Arapahoe Community College, that “a survey was sent to all 5,400-plus students. Only 462 responded.” That Americans cannot be bothered to

fill out a ballot, or a survey — the water in ACC’s pool isn’t the only thing going down the drain. Kenneth Valero Littleton

Parade set for first Saturday in December Santa comes to city as part of holiday tradition By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Organizers in the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce continue to work on final details so the Englewood Holiday Parade can step off on time, at 10 a.m. Dec. 6. “The parade will form at Acoma and Englewood Parkway,” said Colleen Mello, chamber director. “The parade route is short, as it wraps up at the Englewood Civic Center. We’ll have marching groups from the schools, we’ll have a color guard from the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion and, in keeping with parade tradition, the finale of the parade will be Santa riding in the antique fire truck.” When the parade wraps up, vocal groups from Englewood’s high school and elementary

schools will perform. An area also will be set up so children can line up to meet Santa and receive a small gift from him. The weather will dictate the location for Santa and the vocal group performances. If the weather is nice, the activities will be outside the Englewood Civic Center. But, if it is cold or snowing, both the activities will move inside to the community room on the second floor of the civic center. In a separate event after the parade, Mayor Randy Penn will be part of the group placing a wreath at the Purple Heart Memorial located on the north side of the circular drive in front of the civic center. It is the only Purple Heart Memorial in Colorado. The Englewood Holiday Parade was started by Cinderella City merchants in the late 1960s to bring Santa to the mall and, when the merchants decided to no longer fund the parade, the city took it over. It was a pretty big event with a number of marching bands and floats.

The color guard from Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 322 led the Englewood Holiday Parade last year. The color guard is scheduled to again lead the parade when it steps off at 10 a.m. Dec. 6 and travels along Englewood Parkway from Acoma to Englewood Civic Center. File photo In 2003, the city decided to no longer hold the parade, because it was too expensive and there was no private financial support to continue holding the event.

Englewood businesswoman Rosemarie Cabral headed the 2010 effort to again hold the holiday parade. She got the support of some businesses and the

Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce to get it going. The effort was successful and this marks the fifth year for the city’s renewed holiday parade.

NEWS IN A HURRY Play performances delayed After several cast members were stricken with illness, the Englewood High School production of “Arsenic and Old Lace” has been delayed. The play was originally scheduled to be performed at 7 p.m. Nov. 21 and 22. The performances have been rescheduled to 7 p.m. on Dec. 5 and 6. Tickets for the November performances will be honored on the new dates.

many people. But if you put a bunch of water lilies in there, everything is just fine. Monet’s beautiful “Water Lilies” series is a great introduction to abstract art. You can’t do any better than Monet. And that includes van Gogh, a contemporary of Monet’s. Van Gogh gets more press, but Monet was a better artist. He just didn’t cut off his ear, and become mythic. There is a “Water Lilies” room, an entire room, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. I have gone to New York with no other aspiration — except to have a corned beef sandwich and a kosher pickle at the Carnegie Deli — than to see those lilies. And that’s what I am asking you to do. Just stand there at some distance, and then walk toward them. Eventually you will no longer see water lilies. You will see colors, brush strokes, subtle transitions of blue to blue-green to green. And you will be in the land of Abstract

Sponsors needed for families

Inter-Faith Community Services seeks individuals, families or organizations to be sponsors for the annual Adopt-A-Family/ Senior Program. The program provides the sponsor detailed information about a needy family, including the number of people in the family, their ages, clothing sizes and wish lists. The sponsor then purchases items for each member of the family, wraps them and drops them off at Inter-Faith so the family can pick them up.

The organization has 555 families on the list to receive gifts, plus 100 seniors. So far, Inter-Faith has sponsors for about 400 families. The organization still needs sponsors for 156 families to provide gifts for all those on the list. The deadline to sponsor a family is Dec. 5. For information on the program or to sign up to be a sponsor, call Inter-Faith at 303-789-0501.

Commuter rail cars arrive

The Regional Transportation District’s first four commuter rail cars will be on

public display from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Dec. 3-6 at Union Station in downtown Denver The commuter rail cars that were manufactured in South Korea and assembled in Philadelphia are heavier and travel faster than the light rail trains now in use. The four cars are the first shipment of the 66 commuter rail cars RTD plans to use on longer routes with fewer stops like the East Line to Denver International Airport, the Northwest Line to Westminster, the Gold Line to Arvada and the North Line to Thornton.

Expressionism. What do you see when you listen to “Take Five” by Dave Brubeck? I don’t see anything. But I sense a number of things. Melody, pacing, rhythm, repetition, a blues-scale, and quintuple time. It is famous for its “twochord piano vamp.” I couldn’t tell you what a two chord piano vamp is. All I know is that “Take Five” makes it inside. It is an irreplaceable few minutes of my life, and I can’t thank Brubeck enough. Some abstract artists are understandably difficult. Maybe Jackson Pollock is the most difficult abstract artist ever, at least among those who have been acclaimed. “My child could do that.” Not really, or if your child can do that on a huge stretched canvas, with a grasp of composition, variety, cohesion, and accountability, and have it appreciated, it’s because Pollock did those things first. He gave viewers something other than the enigma of a woman with a wry smile (“Mona Lisa”) to think about. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

REGARDING SB-251 RESTRICTED LICENSES ISSUED IN COLORADO This advisory is to inform the business community about the new restricted licenses issued under SB-251 as of August 1, 2014 in Colorado. SB-251 is a law that went into effect but essentially bifurcated the types of licenses that would be issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Persons who are US citizens and permanent residents are eligible for unrestricted licenses; every other type of person will be required to obtain a “restricted” license under the new regulations and laws. Those who are subject to the restricted license include persons who have temporary lawful presence and those who have no lawful presence. Those with temporary lawful presence includes refugees, those who have received deferred action or DACA, pending adjustment applicants, non-immigrant workers, investors, professional athletes, and students.. Those with no lawful presence are those with no current immigration status in the United States. Those with restricted licenses have a black banner printed across their license

that says, “Not valid for federal identification, voting or public benefit purposes.” The purpose for including both lawful and unlawful persons was to ensure that law enforcement would not selectively enforce criminal proceedings against persons not lawfully present in United States. As such, employers will be seeing their non-permanent resident workers, who are here legally in Colorado, with a restricted license. The restricted license essentially means that the person cannot use that license for federal identification and benefit purposes. This would include I-9 verification purposes as that process is a federal process. These persons must use alternative documentation to satisfy I-9 requirements. However, the restricted license is a valid ID and under state statute, it complies with the Real ID Act. The Real ID Act was passed in 2005 to ensure that states provided strict regulations as to how identification documents and driver licenses are issued in order to ensure integrity and security. As such, these licenses, though

restricted, are valid for other state identification purposes such as opening bank accounts and auto registration. Employers must be very careful not to subject themselves to discrimination laws when scrutinizing restricted licenses for their nonpermanent resident workers in the United States. If employers or other business vendors have questions about the implementation of a restricted driver license, please go to the Department of Motor Vehicles website page at https://www.colorado.gov/dmv If employers are concerned about the I-9 verification of an employee with a restricted license, they should contact an immigration attorney for legal advice as soon as possible.

Show puts collage together Center for Visual Arts offers varied exhibition By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com While the art of collage can be traced back to ancient civilizations, it has been associated most strongly with 20th-century modernists, such as Braque and Picasso, and continues to interest today’s artists nationally and internationally. The National Collage Society advances the stature of collage as a major art medium. Metropolitan State University’s Center for Visual Art, located in the Santa Fe Art District, offers a new exhibition of collage and assemblage by 91 artists, local and national, called “Greater Than the Sum: National Collage Society Exhibition.” It runs through Jan. 24 at the contemporary MSU gallery. Works displayed were chosen in a competition that drew 393 entries from five different countries: the United States, Croatia, Italy, Hungary and Canada. The jurors were Janice McDonald, collage artist and director of Denver’s Spark Gallery, Marilee Salvator, associate professor of art at MSU Denver, and Cecily Tyson, CVA creative director.

The exhibition judge is Pavel Zoubok, who owns a New York gallery and is founder and director of the nonprofit arts organization, International Collage Center. A catalog published by the NCS will be available for $10. In the Emerging Artist Gallery is Ah-Sem-Blahj, an exhibition of assemblage and collage work by Denver artists, many of whom are MSU students. It was organized by student curators. Related events: • Dec. 5, 6-7 p.m., hands-on collage

IF YOU GO “Greater Than the Sum” runs at the Center for Visual Art, 965 Santa Fe Drive, Denver, through Jan. 24. Admission is free. For more information: 303-294-5207, MetroStateCVA.org.

Radio station 97.3 KBCO will give Colorado 18 more reasons to love KBCO Studio C on Dec. 6 with the release of its annual charity CD featuring 18 songs recorded live on the air from the Denver/Boulder radio station’s performance studio. Each year, 97.3 KBCO compiles a select few of these recordings on the annual KBCO Studio C CD release. The limited-edition CD will be available beginning at 8 a.m. Dec. 6 at all Colorado Whole Foods Market locations. There will be a limit of two CDs per person and the collection will be sold for $12. Traditionally the annual CD release sells out in about one day, with eager KBCO Studio C fans lining up before sunrise. Proceeds from the sale of the KBCO Studio C Volume 26 CD will benefit the Food Bank of the Rockies and Boulder County AIDS Project.

Holiday box office opens

For the first time, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts is opening a holiday box office in an off-premises storefront on First Avenue between Detroit and Clayton streets in Cherry Creek North. The temporary Cherry Creek pop-up store will do much more than sell tickets and gift certificates (with all handling fees waived). There will be a stage for free performances, free activities for kids and information about the wide variety of activities offered. The 4,000-square-foot space opened Nov. 21 and runs through Dec. 23. “We want to reinforce the idea that there are great things happening at the DCPA every day,” said Creative Director Rob Silk.

DIA lifting spirits

Denver-based airport concessionaire Mission Yogurt Inc. launched its new #LiftYourSpirits complimentary wine, beer and spirits tasting series from Nov. 19 at Timberline Steaks & Grille in Denver International Airport Concourse C. The tastings, the first and third Wednesdays of every month, will continue with Palisade-based Contreras Wines on Dec. 3; Denver-based Mile High Spirits on Dec. 17; and Denver-based Infinite Monkey Theorem sparkling wines in celebration of New Year’s Eve on Dec. 31. “Travel can be a stressful experience, especially around the holidays,” said Mission Yogurt Inc. president and owner Rod Tafoya. “We hope that Mission’s new #LiftYourSpirits series will help travelers relax and enjoy their travel a little more. Offering travelers a pleasant food and beverage experience in an appealing environment has always been at the core of our mission as a company. This is just one more way we can accomplish that goal.”

Coffee company expands

“Breakout” by Carol Staub, 2013, is a mixed media collage that is featured in “Greater than the Sum.”

Espresso Americano, a Honduras-based coffee company, opened its first U.S. location Nov. 17 at the Village Plaza Shopping Center in Greenwood Village. An international coffee concept with 165 company-owned stores in Honduras, Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, Espresso Americano’s newest store, at 5322 DTC Blvd., No. 200, will be the first of five locations to open across Denver in the coming months and the company’s first foray into the United States. The new space is 1,550 square feet with approximately 50 indoor and outdoor seats, including a community table for business meetings, seating at the bar and lounge seating. Standard hours of operation are 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday; 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday. “As we sought a location for our entry into the U.S, we recognized that the Denver coffee drinker is sophisticated and appreciates the independent companies that offer an authentic experience,” said David Kubena, director of North America for Espresso Americano. “Although this is our first store in the U.S., we have been in business for 80 years, our farm is still family-run and we grow 80 percent of our coffee, which we then roast ourselves.” The coffee shop also will offer a limited food menu with everything made fresh. For breakfast, customers can choose from a variety of breakfast burritos and quiche, while for lunch the selections will include several salads and homemade paninis. Fresh baked goods and dessert items will be available throughout the day as well.

Pirates gear up for hoops season Returning letter winners help anchor the Englewood girls team By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com The coach directs a variety of drills as members of the Englewood High School girls basketball team prepare for the coming season. “Our team will be a mixture of veterans and newcomers,” Pirates coach Thomas Rode said during the Nov. 18 practice. “We have a great group of girls who saw a lot of varsity playing time last year who are now back with us. We have a group of sophomores who were with the program last season and we had a good summer program. This is a group with a lot of heart who work hard to make us a competitive team.” The Pirates open the season at home Dec. 2 against Denver West and have home games against Thornton on Dec. 4 and against Denver Science and Technology on Dec. 5. Home games are played in what will become the middle school gymnasium in January. When the Pirates are at home, action begins at 4:15 p.m. with the freshman game, the junior varsity game starts at 5:30, and the varsity tipoff is scheduled at 7:15. One ticket is good for admission to all three games. The returning varsity veterans the coach mentioned included Maddie Smith, Julia Kline, Dominique Daughtry, Dolly Ostrowski and Ty Lucas. “Our returning varsity players will provide great leadership for our team this year,” the coach said. “We have players with good basketball skills plus we have good quickness. I think one of our strengths will be our defense that will frustrate teams. Another of our team strengths

Thomas Rode, Englewood girls basketball coach, shows the players the way he wants them to run a drill during the Nov. 19 practice session. The coach said the team is looking good. The Pirates open the season Dec. 2 at home against Denver West. will be our stamina because part of every practice focuses on conditioning.” Rode said he plans to make some changes in the offense because he has some girls who can shoot accurately so the idea will be to match up better against opponents by focusing on team strengths. The coach said he thinks it will be a battle for top spots in the league since last year’s two top teams, Elizabeth and Weld Central, each had a number of key players graduate. “I think the competition level in the league will be a lot more equitable than it

was last year,” Rode said. “My players and I are looking forward to the start of the season. It is great to get in the gym and start practice but I think everyone is eager to start playing games that count.” Senior Maddie Smith said she is ready to start playing games and said everyone on the team is excited about the coming season. “I know I am always excited for basketball season to start. I like basketball because you can be a little more aggressive than you can, for instance, in soccer,” she said. “I love to play sports. During basket-

ball season, basketball is my sport. When the seasons change, my favorite sport is the sport I am playing.” She said her skill that has improved the most is ball handling. “I work on ball handling skills every single morning when I go to the gym,” she said. “I am seeing improvements and that makes me happy. I really don’t set personal goals. I am a team-oriented person so my goals are to do everything I can to help strengthen our team so we can have a successful season.”

SPORTS ROUNDUP All-state cross country Junior Ben Butler of SkyView Academy was named the Class 3A runner of the year in the 2014 all-state boys cross country teams presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps and MaxPreps.

Valor senior centerfielder Kendall Ohman and Ponderosa senior pitcher Aly Power were also first-team Class 4A picks. Seniors Shelby Mann and Makenna Roth of Valor made the second team.

Castle View pitcher Savannah Hunter, Rock Canyon senior shortstop Hannah Clark and senior Douglas County third baseman/catcher Ashley Kim were named to Class 5A first team.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 24, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) While it seems that chaos is taking over, you get everything back to normal, even if it means being more than a little assertive with some people. Expect to hear more job-related news soon. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Expect to be able to move ahead with your workplace plans now that you have a good idea of what you might have to face. You also can anticipate a welcome change on the home front. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A quieter period settles in, giving you a chance to catch your breath, as well as allowing for more time to handle some important family matters. The arts dominate this weekend. Enjoy them. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) The frustrations of last week have pretty much played themselves out. You should find things going more smoothly, especially with those all-important personal matters. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Once again, you find a creative way to resolve a pesky problem in short order. However, a matter involving a possible breach of confidence might need a bit more time to check out. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Reuniting with an old friend could lead to the sharing of some great new experiences. But be careful you don’t find yourself once again being super-critical or overly judgmental. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You should be seeing some positive results following your move toward repairing that unraveling relationship. There might be some setbacks, but staying with it ultimately pays off. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Encouraging a friendlier environment in the home could go a long way to help dissipate anger and resolve problems, especially those affecting children. It won’t be easy, but you can do it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A recent act of kindness is beginning to show some unexpected (but very welcome) results. On another note, expect to hear more about a possible move to another locale. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The good news is that the sure-footed Goat can rely on his or her skill to get around obstacles in the workplace. The notso-good news is that new impediments could turn up later. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A change of pace is welcome but also confusing. Before you make decisions one way or another, be sure you know precisely what it is you’re being asked to do. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Don’t fret if you don’t get the gratitude you think you’re owed for doing a nice thing for someone. There might be a good reason for that. In any event, what’s important is that you did it. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of making the sort of wise decisions that ultimately shed new light on dark situations. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Artists Continued from Page 1

Each student was called up individually. Each artist was given his or her artwork, framed and matted, along with several gifts; plus, they got to shake hands with the members of the city council. The calendars are free and are available at Englewood Civic Center, Englewood Public Library, Malley Senior Recreation Center and the Englewood Recreation Center. There are also free bookmarks available. Leigh Ann Hoffhines, who oversees the calendar project, said the calendar page didn’t take up all the page of paper it was being printed on, so she had the blank paper turned into bookmarks that were removed from the calendar. She said one school’s art project was to draw an owl. One of the owl entries was selected for the calendar. That drawing plus four more were used as art for the bookmarks, which can be picked up free in the library. The artwork selected for May was the work of Ashley Berry, a first-grader at Clayton Elementary School. “I worked really hard to draw my cow,” the girl said. “The hardest part of drawing the cow was drawing the face.” She said drawing the cow was fun because she likes to draw. “My favorite thing to draw in all the world is cows,” she said shyly. “I like to draw cows because cows are awesome.” The artists were honored in the order their art was used in the calendar, from the cover artwork and through each of the 12 months. The students and the school they attend are: Tracy Zhai, West Middle School; Marisa Cordova-Gama, Bishop Elementary School; Correen Martinez, Englewood High School; Megan Summers, Bishop Elementary School; Rebecca Flynn; Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School; Ashley Berry, Clayton Elementary School; Tess Bray, East High School; Sarah Hagan, All Souls School; Illiana Johnson, Clayton Elementary School; Michaelanne Jordan, Englewood Middle School; Aidan Trujillo, Cherrelyn Elementary School; Shawn Michaelis, Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School; and Gianna Ditsworth, Clayton Elementary School. This is the 15th year Englewood has had a student calendar art contest. Olga Wolosyn, late Englewood mayor, was one of those who fostered the idea of using student art in the calendar. A committee spent quite a few hours selecting the top 50 artworks. Thirteen of the top 50 have been used as fullpage displays in this year’s calendar. However, smaller pictures of the other top artworks are included in the calendar.

use it, so we leased it to South Suburban for $10 a year for 10 years and is automatically renewable,” he said. “We also worked with the officials on the 10,000 trees project. Planting those trees improved the whole area.” Laura Kroeger, project manager for Urban Drainage, said River Run is part of the proposed project, involving major work to revitalize a seven-mile stretch of the South Platte River from the southern border of Littleton to the northern border of Englewood. One aspect of the proposal is to extend the pedestrianbike path on the east bank of the river and to create a trailhead just north of Oxford Avenue. The new east-side trail would lead into the trailhead that would be adjacent to the Broken Tee golf course. Improvements would include expanded parking, a 125-seat pavilion and a playground. Kroeger said the Army Corp of Engineers has given permission to soften the banks of the river in that area by planting landscaping and create a handicapped-accessible path leading down from the trailhead to the river amenities. “The plan is to start work in the fall of 2015 and complete the improvements by the spring of 2017,” she said. “Of course, everything depends on obtaining the financing for the project, and that is a major challenge.” The entire project is an expensive proposal, with a price tag of about $12 million. The funding got help when Arapahoe County pledged $5 million toward the project.
